Transcript

00:00:00.000 Boop, boom, bum, bum, bum.
00:00:03.380 Hey, everybody.
00:00:04.860 You're right on time.
00:00:07.220 Almost early.
00:00:09.120 Come on in.
00:00:09.940 Gather around.
00:00:10.800 Grab a chair.
00:00:11.660 It's time for the best part of the day.
00:00:14.120 Yeah.
00:00:15.180 Once again, isn't it great that there's coffee with Scott Adams every day?
00:00:21.040 That's right.
00:00:21.920 It's the best part.
00:00:23.120 And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or a challenge.
00:00:25.820 It's time to canteen jug of flowers.
00:00:27.100 It's a little of any kind.
00:00:28.320 And fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.
00:00:32.300 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day,
00:00:37.080 the thing that makes what?
00:00:39.740 That's right.
00:00:40.380 Everything better.
00:00:41.540 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.
00:00:44.600 Go.
00:00:53.700 Stretch, everybody.
00:00:55.320 Ah, I feel so good.
00:00:58.780 What a day.
00:01:00.480 All right.
00:01:01.200 Well, let's start with all the good news.
00:01:03.500 Do you want the good news first?
00:01:04.940 Of course you do.
00:01:05.940 Of course you do.
00:01:07.460 In pandemic news, the new single shot of vaccination from J&J, it looks like it has 85% efficacy.
00:01:17.940 And if you don't like the word efficacy, well, you haven't said it out loud.
00:01:25.860 Try it.
00:01:26.440 Try it at home.
00:01:27.340 Say efficacy.
00:01:29.160 It's fun.
00:01:30.280 It is.
00:01:32.100 And it has 85% efficacy 28 days after you get it, and that's pretty good.
00:01:36.840 And it has almost an 88% efficacy.
00:01:43.300 Did I say efficacy?
00:01:46.200 Of blocking asymptomatic infections.
00:01:50.200 Bam.
00:01:51.240 Pretty good stuff.
00:01:54.100 Would you take the single shot that gave you 85% efficacy, or would you wait for the double shot that gives you a little bit more?
00:02:03.480 I don't know.
00:02:05.900 I told you that I'm going to wait until the last possible moment, because I'm not eligible yet.
00:02:11.540 But I think I'll be in the next wave.
00:02:15.240 So maybe in a few weeks.
00:02:16.740 I'm not sure.
00:02:18.300 Here's some more good news.
00:02:20.080 As you know, I think over 20 states have legislation to associate funding for school with the children instead of the school,
00:02:30.200 so that the child could go to a different competing school, a private school, for example,
00:02:35.640 and the funding would move with them, the government funding.
00:02:39.440 So that is a really big trend that's happening now.
00:02:42.460 Corey DeAngelis, you'll find him on Twitter, does the most tweeting about this productively.
00:02:49.220 He's most involved in this.
00:02:51.200 And he does more than tweeting, obviously.
00:02:53.380 He's active in this space.
00:02:54.920 But a new study says, according to Corey, that charter schools are 35% more cost-effective
00:03:03.280 and produce a 46% larger return on investment than district schools.
00:03:10.380 Do you trust that statistic?
00:03:13.520 I don't.
00:03:16.140 You know, this is the sort of statistic that you want to trust because it agrees with you already.
00:03:22.060 I want it to be true that having competition in anything makes things better, just as a general statement.
00:03:30.820 No matter the field, if you add competition to it, it should make things better.
00:03:35.000 So I want it to be true that these charter schools are more cost-effective.
00:03:41.140 But then you would also have to factor in what happens to the school they left behind.
00:03:47.280 Did it get worse?
00:03:49.160 What happened to the average?
00:03:50.160 So I don't think things like this can be studied, actually.
00:03:55.520 So I wouldn't totally trust this number.
00:03:58.400 But at the very least, it can help you size things.
00:04:04.920 So I think this at least is evidence that charter schools are not worse.
00:04:10.500 But I don't think you could say that numbers such as this, I wouldn't ever trust them to be accurate, per se.
00:04:17.540 But if there were some big problem where they spent more money and got less results, you'd probably see it.
00:04:24.460 They'd probably be big enough to see.
00:04:27.220 All right.
00:04:29.620 Digital Doug on Twitter was questioning the fact that the coronavirus numbers in the United States are over half a million deaths,
00:04:38.040 whereas regular seasonal flu would be, you know, maybe 10% of that, typically.
00:04:44.600 And Digital Doug says, if you pay hospitals five figures for treating the flu, meaning the regular seasonal flu,
00:04:53.740 and five figures more for putting patients on respirators, let's see what the regular flu numbers look like then.
00:05:00.180 So Digital Doug believes that if hospitals were incentivized to record the regular seasonal flu,
00:05:10.700 that there would be 10 times as much death attributed to the regular flu.
00:05:16.760 Does that make sense to you?
00:05:19.420 Now, let me tell you how to think of this argument.
00:05:21.740 If the argument is that financial incentives cause people to code more things as coronavirus,
00:05:31.020 that's a good argument, wouldn't you say?
00:05:33.660 Does anybody disagree with that?
00:05:35.600 That if you, and I say this a million times, if you put friction on something, you'll get less of it.
00:05:42.820 Almost always.
00:05:44.200 Doesn't even matter what you're talking about.
00:05:46.280 You add friction, and you get a little less of it.
00:05:49.060 If you add incentives, again, for almost anything, you're going to get more of it.
00:05:57.260 So the argument is that incentives have been added somewhat accidentally because, you know, people had good intentions.
00:06:04.700 But there's an incentive to say that something is a COVID infection or a COVID death when maybe it was a gray area, right?
00:06:14.580 Let me tell you how to judge that argument.
00:06:17.180 If there were just as many coronavirus deaths as the regular flu, early on, pretty good argument.
00:06:28.720 Pretty good argument.
00:06:30.140 It doesn't mean it's true, but you'd have to take it seriously.
00:06:35.200 Suppose the corona deaths were 20% more than the regular flu deaths in any year.
00:06:43.860 Ah, then you'd have to take that argument pretty seriously.
00:06:46.340 Because, like I said, you incentivize anything, and it wouldn't be surprising to get 20% more of something that had a financial incentive.
00:06:56.920 You'd all agree with that, right?
00:06:58.800 Getting 20% more, that wouldn't be surprising.
00:07:01.540 But that's not where we are.
00:07:03.820 We're at 10 times more deaths from coronavirus.
00:07:08.660 It's real.
00:07:09.500 So, this argument used to make sense.
00:07:15.160 I've said it myself.
00:07:16.600 If you incentivize something, you get more of it.
00:07:19.360 But you don't get 10 times more without somebody noticing that there's something up, right?
00:07:25.720 We are way beyond the point where questioning whether coronavirus deaths are real is a rational opinion.
00:07:34.240 It used to be.
00:07:35.920 It used to be a rational opinion, which I think time has shown us did not hold up.
00:07:42.680 But you are not being rational today if you think that the issue is miscounting.
00:07:51.600 We're not even close to that being a reasonable hypothesis.
00:07:55.260 But it was.
00:07:56.020 It was at one point.
00:07:56.980 So, I think you need to update your thinking on that.
00:08:00.800 Here's another one.
00:08:03.020 So, Ivor Cummins, who you probably see on the internet, tweets a lot about the coronavirus,
00:08:11.420 tweeted a graph today that shows that Sweden's excess deaths are among the lowest in Europe.
00:08:19.340 And the claim is that they did not do as aggressive a lockdown and social distancing,
00:08:25.660 and therefore proof positive that lockdowns and social distancing don't work,
00:08:31.800 according to Ivor or Ivor, I don't know how to pronounce his first name, Cummins.
00:08:37.760 So, I just tweeted this right before I came on live here,
00:08:41.260 and I asked the fact checkers to check that.
00:08:44.840 Let me ask you, do you think that that's true?
00:08:47.440 Do you think that when the other people comment on his tweet,
00:08:51.980 do you think they're going to say, oh yeah, we checked the numbers,
00:08:55.100 and these look like the accurate numbers?
00:08:59.080 I would bet against that.
00:09:02.380 Yeah, I'm seeing in the comments there's some disagreement about whether it's true or not.
00:09:07.000 This is the kind of statistic that is just a little suspiciously too on the nose, isn't it?
00:09:15.980 I just don't believe those numbers.
00:09:23.000 Now, by the end of this live stream, I could be changing my mind.
00:09:28.320 In other words, if the people I consider good at fact-checking look at this and they say,
00:09:33.700 wow, yeah, it does look like Sweden is a mystery.
00:09:37.520 They didn't lock down and they got the same result, or better.
00:09:45.640 All right, I just saw a comment that's making my brain explode, but I'm not going to go there.
00:09:53.220 All right, let's talk about something else.
00:09:58.260 So, fact-checkers, check me on that Sweden death thing.
00:10:01.420 Elon Musk continues to be the most interesting of the billionaires,
00:10:07.940 maybe just the most interesting person in the country right now while Trump is taking a little break.
00:10:15.440 And I guess he was asked to comment on a Washington Post story that was critical of Tesla.
00:10:23.080 And, as you know, the Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos,
00:10:28.640 who you could consider a competitor to Elon Musk,
00:10:33.120 because they're both trying to conquer space, if you will.
00:10:37.380 And they're trading places as the richest person in America.
00:10:43.220 It goes back and forth.
00:10:45.480 And here was Elon Musk's reply to the Washington Post hit piece on Tesla.
00:10:51.320 And when asked, he said, quote,
00:10:53.620 Give my regards to your puppet master.
00:10:57.280 Musk replied to the paper's request for his story.
00:11:05.020 Give my regards to the puppet masters.
00:11:11.760 Now, could there be a more perfect response?
00:11:17.040 If you put together, like, a team of experts in communication,
00:11:22.720 and said, all right, team of experts, we're going to have to respond to this,
00:11:26.960 what are you going to do?
00:11:28.760 And the team of experts would have said,
00:11:30.740 Well, we'll put out this statement, it'll be, you know, hundreds of words,
00:11:34.780 and it will say, Tesla denies the allegations,
00:11:39.180 and we make good cars, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right?
00:11:42.500 Elon Musk, in one, how many words?
00:11:48.100 One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:11:51.340 In seven words, just annihilated this thing.
00:11:56.920 Give my regards to your puppet master.
00:11:59.520 Now, what's beautiful about it is not just the comment
00:12:03.540 that there could be some bias in the story.
00:12:06.340 And by the way, I don't know that the story has any bias.
00:12:08.900 I mean, I'm not alleging that.
00:12:11.700 But as a comment about the story, it's golden.
00:12:15.040 It's just perfect.
00:12:16.400 It's the smallest comment you could make that packs the most powerful punch.
00:12:20.760 Because you can't really think of anything but what Elon said, right?
00:12:25.800 You've already forgotten what the story was.
00:12:28.900 I didn't even read the story, but, like, if I had,
00:12:31.700 I would have forgotten it already.
00:12:33.340 Because all I'd be thinking is that Elon Musk
00:12:35.820 says the Washington Post are puppets to Bezos.
00:12:39.100 It's just more interesting, right?
00:12:40.720 So what Elon Musk does is he simply does things more interestingly
00:12:46.500 than other people.
00:12:50.160 Fact check me on this.
00:12:51.360 Tesla doesn't do standard marketing, does it, in advertising?
00:12:56.020 Can somebody fact check me on that?
00:12:57.600 I thought that was true, that they don't do regular ads
00:13:00.180 because they don't need it.
00:13:02.220 All you have to do is put a bioweapon defense in your car
00:13:07.380 and you don't need advertisements.
00:13:09.060 You have something to talk about, right?
00:13:11.420 Yeah, I'm seeing people confirm it.
00:13:13.040 I think that's true.
00:13:14.380 So what Elon Musk does is brilliant.
00:13:16.880 He just acts more interesting than other people
00:13:19.240 and he doesn't need to advertise.
00:13:21.920 Now, you have to be able to pull that off, right?
00:13:24.520 Because this comment from Musk was probably just off the top of his head.
00:13:30.240 So you can't do that, right?
00:13:32.500 You could try.
00:13:34.440 But being this interesting spontaneously
00:13:37.000 so that the headlines just go with your interesting comment
00:13:41.280 instead of the thing you're commenting about,
00:13:43.440 that's skill.
00:13:45.420 And maybe you don't have it.
00:13:46.540 All right, Stephen Crowder, you know him from Louder on Crowder.
00:13:53.260 I have a question about this story.
00:13:55.420 He said he'd been...
00:13:56.160 The story this morning was that he had been suspended from Twitter
00:13:59.920 after saying that he can confirm that some people voted
00:14:03.720 at addresses that do not exist.
00:14:06.060 That's his claim.
00:14:07.600 Don't cancel me.
00:14:08.900 Please, please, please, please don't cancel me.
00:14:13.440 It's not even my opinion.
00:14:16.040 It's his opinion.
00:14:17.380 I'm just talking about it.
00:14:19.160 Please, please give me another minute of social media.
00:14:23.360 All right.
00:14:26.020 But when I was commenting about the story,
00:14:30.220 Stephen Crowder replied to me on Twitter.
00:14:33.800 So I don't know how banned he was
00:14:37.140 if he's already replying to me on Twitter
00:14:39.080 the same day that I heard the story.
00:14:41.860 So I don't know if he's back or I got the story wrong.
00:14:44.820 Did he get banned from a different platform?
00:14:47.480 Can somebody clear that up?
00:14:49.280 Did he get banned and he's back on already?
00:14:51.400 Or did he get banned from a different...
00:14:53.660 Oh, it was a 12-hour ban.
00:14:55.180 12-hour suspension.
00:14:56.720 That makes sense.
00:14:57.780 All right.
00:14:58.020 12-hour suspension.
00:14:59.500 Let's go with that because that sounds right anyway.
00:15:01.680 And as I have told you,
00:15:05.060 my new theme is that if somebody gets banned or censored,
00:15:12.360 let's say if they get censored,
00:15:14.720 I'm going to send them some money for being censored.
00:15:19.000 So I want to make it,
00:15:21.160 and I know a lot of people are on the same page,
00:15:24.280 that individually you might buy his shirt or his mug from his store.
00:15:29.980 I tweeted the address of his store.
00:15:35.060 And to you it's $10,
00:15:36.520 but basically you're just voting for freedom of speech.
00:15:39.040 It's a $10 vote to support freedom of speech
00:15:43.880 whenever you see one of these situations happen.
00:15:47.520 So buy Stephen Crowder's stuff.
00:15:49.500 I want to say, while I'm at it,
00:15:51.600 that I do not agree with all of the things Stephen Crowder says.
00:15:55.640 Doesn't matter.
00:15:56.880 That's not what we're here to talk about, right?
00:15:59.180 And I'll tell you, just so I'm on record with it,
00:16:01.600 I'm not a fan of his argument that there are two genders.
00:16:07.240 I know you hate it.
00:16:08.940 Here's my argument.
00:16:10.620 The two-gender thing is a social construct
00:16:13.620 based largely on biology.
00:16:15.980 I mean, it's not just invented out of nothing.
00:16:18.720 It's based on observation and biology and stuff like that.
00:16:22.740 But it's a convenience.
00:16:25.380 Society categorizes things for convenience.
00:16:29.120 And it is convenient and useful to have two genders
00:16:34.280 because then you just have two bathrooms
00:16:35.940 and you can keep rapists away from women.
00:16:38.940 And, you know, there are lots of good reasons
00:16:40.920 that we narrow it down to two.
00:16:43.540 But it's social reasons.
00:16:45.680 I think a more productive way to look at people
00:16:48.280 is that there are 7.5 billion people,
00:16:53.200 rounded off, whatever it is,
00:16:55.420 and they're all different.
00:16:56.260 Every one of them is just different.
00:17:00.240 They're different sexually.
00:17:01.980 They're different mentally,
00:17:03.480 different physically,
00:17:04.500 different health-wise.
00:17:05.800 We're just all different.
00:17:08.080 That's the healthiest way to look at the world.
00:17:11.720 It's not two genders
00:17:13.200 except for convenience.
00:17:16.480 Now, if you argued,
00:17:17.620 should we keep it two genders
00:17:20.660 because we can't afford to have, like,
00:17:22.660 a bathroom for every option,
00:17:24.700 I would say that's a conversation
00:17:27.860 that's reasonable.
00:17:29.620 You can reasonably say,
00:17:31.480 yeah, I get that everybody's different,
00:17:33.340 but we can't have, like,
00:17:34.840 a different bathroom for every person, etc.
00:17:36.960 I would like my own bathroom.
00:17:39.800 I'd like to be my own gender
00:17:41.240 so I could not have to share a bathroom
00:17:43.540 when I go to the mall.
00:17:45.740 It's just my own bathroom.
00:17:47.220 People like me, whatever I am.
00:17:48.720 So, the only thing I would put in your head
00:17:53.220 is that while it's perfectly reasonable,
00:17:55.960 perfectly reasonable,
00:17:57.360 to argue that you should limit things
00:17:59.140 to two genders for practical reasons,
00:18:01.900 that's very bad for a lot of people
00:18:04.000 because they don't feel they fit
00:18:06.040 into a category, right?
00:18:07.720 So, you have to make practical decisions
00:18:10.600 when it comes to how to organize society,
00:18:13.020 and not everybody is going to win.
00:18:14.720 But I think we should be more compassionate.
00:18:19.420 The people are just different.
00:18:21.140 And not worse, not better,
00:18:22.620 just different.
00:18:23.860 And just take that as our model.
00:18:26.680 I would like to give a shout-out
00:18:28.100 to Brit Hume.
00:18:30.560 He made another wonderful comment
00:18:33.020 today on Twitter,
00:18:34.180 and I've been watching him
00:18:35.640 for a long time.
00:18:37.260 You know, Fox News
00:18:38.300 association there.
00:18:40.820 And I don't think
00:18:43.180 I've ever seen Brit Hume
00:18:44.680 say something
00:18:45.300 that wasn't reasonable
00:18:46.620 and backed by evidence.
00:18:50.440 And I don't know
00:18:51.440 if you can say that
00:18:52.260 about everybody
00:18:53.060 that you see on TV.
00:18:55.120 And it takes a while
00:18:56.240 before you realize.
00:18:57.580 I was sort of realizing it today.
00:18:58.960 It's like,
00:18:59.700 I've never seen Brit Hume
00:19:01.200 say anything that was bullshit.
00:19:04.660 I've never seen him
00:19:05.700 even spin a story.
00:19:07.740 And you can tell
00:19:08.300 when somebody's spinning a story, right?
00:19:09.980 That's the most common thing.
00:19:12.080 So just a shout-out
00:19:13.040 for being one of the most useful people
00:19:15.500 in the news business.
00:19:17.380 When he talks,
00:19:18.660 I feel that
00:19:19.740 whether I agree with him or not,
00:19:21.920 it's just not bullshit.
00:19:23.480 It's just like an actual
00:19:24.600 honest opinion
00:19:25.460 based on data and stuff.
00:19:27.160 It's so rare
00:19:27.920 that I call him out.
00:19:29.040 It's like, all right.
00:19:30.060 Because I'm going to be talking
00:19:30.980 about people doing
00:19:31.720 the opposite in the pit.
00:19:34.160 And what he pointed out
00:19:35.460 was about Dr. Fauci,
00:19:37.220 and it explained to me
00:19:39.000 why I'm not as bothered
00:19:41.540 by Fauci
00:19:42.660 as almost everybody else
00:19:44.460 seems to be.
00:19:46.120 Fauci has sort of become,
00:19:47.260 you know,
00:19:47.940 our coronavirus grinch.
00:19:50.760 Right?
00:19:51.260 He's sort of the grinch
00:19:52.120 of the coronavirus.
00:19:53.520 And everybody wants to hate him.
00:19:55.280 But I haven't ever felt that.
00:19:58.200 And I was trying to figure out why.
00:19:59.820 Like, why is it
00:20:00.600 that, you know,
00:20:02.260 Fauci could be right or wrong,
00:20:03.740 but I don't have bad feelings
00:20:04.840 about him at all.
00:20:07.060 And Brit Hume explains it.
00:20:08.240 Indirectly,
00:20:10.140 he wasn't trying to.
00:20:11.480 But he says,
00:20:12.080 remember,
00:20:12.660 in this tweet he said,
00:20:14.140 about Fauci,
00:20:14.980 he said,
00:20:15.300 his job is to fight
00:20:16.260 the corona,
00:20:17.000 the COVID outbreak.
00:20:18.180 He has no responsibility
00:20:19.660 for children's mental health
00:20:21.240 or education.
00:20:22.320 The economy
00:20:23.200 is someone else's problem.
00:20:25.240 So are missed cancer,
00:20:26.440 screening,
00:20:26.900 suicides,
00:20:27.500 and other collateral damage
00:20:28.820 from lockdowns.
00:20:30.200 And that
00:20:31.020 explained it.
00:20:33.580 Explained my own opinion
00:20:34.700 to me.
00:20:35.160 And that is that
00:20:36.900 I only saw
00:20:38.440 Fauci as a bad cop.
00:20:41.520 And as a bad cop,
00:20:43.720 he's excellent.
00:20:45.380 It's not his job
00:20:46.780 to tell you what to do
00:20:47.960 about the economy.
00:20:48.900 It's not his job.
00:20:50.460 As,
00:20:51.060 as Brit Hume points out,
00:20:52.700 it's just not his job.
00:20:54.380 The other stuff.
00:20:55.860 So when you're evaluating
00:20:57.120 Fauci,
00:20:58.740 evaluate him
00:20:59.680 on his job.
00:21:01.280 But also,
00:21:02.060 you're an adult.
00:21:03.500 So you can say,
00:21:04.560 it's not the only word
00:21:05.860 on everything.
00:21:06.540 He's not in charge
00:21:07.200 of the economy.
00:21:08.040 He's not in charge
00:21:08.600 of children's suicides,
00:21:10.820 et cetera.
00:21:11.420 I mean,
00:21:11.660 he cares about those things,
00:21:12.780 obviously.
00:21:13.260 He's a human.
00:21:14.120 And he's American.
00:21:15.220 So of course,
00:21:15.700 he cares about those things,
00:21:17.080 you assume.
00:21:18.500 But,
00:21:18.940 that's why I'm not bothered
00:21:21.500 by him,
00:21:21.900 because I see him
00:21:22.640 in context.
00:21:23.740 If you see him
00:21:24.540 out of context,
00:21:25.660 and you imagine
00:21:26.300 that he is responsible
00:21:27.580 for the economy
00:21:29.140 and those other things,
00:21:30.940 then he would be doing
00:21:31.640 the worst job ever.
00:21:33.500 But he's not.
00:21:35.000 He's only responsible
00:21:36.320 for his little wing,
00:21:37.640 and he's acting
00:21:38.580 exactly like a guy
00:21:39.840 who's responsible
00:21:40.680 for that little wing.
00:21:41.920 So just keep that frame
00:21:43.080 in mind
00:21:43.580 when you're judging him.
00:21:45.000 I think he's
00:21:45.880 very valuable.
00:21:47.840 Very valuable.
00:21:49.680 I don't agree
00:21:50.560 with him on everything,
00:21:51.860 but I think
00:21:52.720 he's very valuable.
00:21:53.580 You've just got to
00:21:54.020 keep him in his box
00:21:54.980 as to what his job is.
00:21:56.760 That's a very good addition
00:21:58.440 from Brit Hume.
00:22:00.460 Of course,
00:22:01.000 the Tiger Woods accident
00:22:02.260 is all the headlines
00:22:03.600 because it's Tiger Woods.
00:22:07.220 But what are the odds
00:22:08.320 that the best golfer
00:22:09.380 of all time
00:22:10.280 can't drive straight
00:22:13.000 and ended up
00:22:14.240 in the rough?
00:22:16.160 I feel as though
00:22:17.280 this simulation
00:22:18.040 is just messing with us.
00:22:20.300 Because,
00:22:21.000 really?
00:22:22.180 Really?
00:22:22.800 The best golfer
00:22:23.820 in the world,
00:22:24.400 he can't drive straight
00:22:25.680 and he ends up
00:22:26.420 in the rough.
00:22:27.940 That doesn't even
00:22:29.600 feel like a coincidence.
00:22:31.600 It just feels like
00:22:32.680 the simulation
00:22:34.000 ran out of ideas
00:22:35.100 and it's just
00:22:35.660 recycling stuff.
00:22:38.520 But, of course,
00:22:40.240 we, you know,
00:22:41.460 everybody cares
00:22:42.620 about Tiger Woods.
00:22:43.900 One of the things
00:22:44.480 that Tiger Woods does,
00:22:46.200 and I don't think
00:22:46.880 he gets enough credit
00:22:47.740 for it,
00:22:48.120 he does get credit
00:22:48.800 for it,
00:22:49.120 but can you think
00:22:51.140 of anybody
00:22:52.000 in the world,
00:22:55.260 right?
00:22:55.660 But I'll say
00:22:56.340 the United States
00:22:57.500 just to keep it
00:22:58.320 local-ish,
00:22:59.780 but it would apply
00:23:00.620 to the world.
00:23:01.620 Is there even
00:23:02.320 one person
00:23:03.260 who doesn't like
00:23:05.180 Tiger Woods?
00:23:06.720 Besides maybe
00:23:07.560 his ex-wife,
00:23:08.320 I don't know.
00:23:09.700 He's like the most
00:23:10.620 popular person
00:23:11.540 ever.
00:23:11.960 And I think
00:23:14.200 that his
00:23:15.280 contribution
00:23:16.060 to, let's
00:23:18.340 say, social
00:23:19.860 cohesion
00:23:20.580 and, you
00:23:22.120 know, any
00:23:23.260 racial stuff,
00:23:25.440 he's one of the
00:23:26.140 most productive,
00:23:27.500 useful, best
00:23:30.060 things that's ever
00:23:30.960 happened to America
00:23:31.820 just by being
00:23:33.040 good at golf
00:23:33.680 and being, you
00:23:35.200 know, at least
00:23:35.640 partly black,
00:23:36.660 which people
00:23:37.240 see as black.
00:23:39.720 So, I don't
00:23:41.100 think we can
00:23:41.640 understate his
00:23:42.640 contribution to
00:23:43.720 the betterment
00:23:44.500 of our social
00:23:46.260 situation, just
00:23:47.740 by being black
00:23:48.940 somewhat and
00:23:51.560 excelling and,
00:23:54.300 you know, being
00:23:54.900 such a star
00:23:57.080 and being so
00:23:57.940 likable.
00:23:58.800 I mean, I think
00:23:59.240 he's just good
00:23:59.920 for the world.
00:24:02.380 There was a
00:24:03.220 sports guy who
00:24:04.220 got in trouble,
00:24:04.920 Andy Scholes,
00:24:06.240 because he sort
00:24:06.920 of speculated
00:24:07.680 that painkillers
00:24:08.680 were part of
00:24:09.140 the story,
00:24:10.220 whereas there
00:24:10.920 is no evidence
00:24:11.740 of inebriation,
00:24:12.900 but he hasn't
00:24:13.420 been blood
00:24:14.420 tested yet.
00:24:15.860 I would like
00:24:16.680 to say that
00:24:17.260 maybe Andy
00:24:18.120 Scholes did
00:24:18.860 get a little
00:24:20.280 ahead of himself
00:24:21.040 by speculating
00:24:22.000 that he wasn't
00:24:22.900 surprised about
00:24:24.380 Tiger Woods'
00:24:25.400 accident because
00:24:26.180 Tiger Woods has
00:24:26.900 a history of
00:24:27.480 painkiller use
00:24:29.380 and maybe
00:24:31.400 overuse.
00:24:32.120 I think he went
00:24:32.620 to some rehab
00:24:33.180 for it.
00:24:33.660 but it is
00:24:36.480 premature.
00:24:38.180 It would be
00:24:38.780 premature.
00:24:41.340 Somebody says
00:24:42.120 7.30 a.m.
00:24:43.220 and he crashed
00:24:43.840 that bad.
00:24:44.600 Well, that could
00:24:45.000 be, if he were
00:24:46.900 taking any kind
00:24:48.800 of painkillers
00:24:49.580 because he had
00:24:50.200 pain and he did
00:24:51.060 have back surgery
00:24:51.920 recently, you would
00:24:54.540 take them at any
00:24:55.180 time of day, right?
00:24:56.000 You'd take them
00:24:56.540 whenever they were
00:24:57.760 prescribed.
00:24:58.200 So, yeah, that
00:24:59.580 could certainly be
00:25:00.720 a factor, but I
00:25:02.160 don't feel like it
00:25:02.820 explains it, does
00:25:03.680 it?
00:25:05.400 How do you
00:25:06.180 explain the
00:25:07.340 extent of the
00:25:08.280 accident that he
00:25:09.020 went so far?
00:25:11.420 I don't know
00:25:12.360 that, I don't
00:25:13.560 even think drugs
00:25:14.300 can explain it,
00:25:15.480 right?
00:25:15.900 I feel like there's
00:25:16.820 at least one other
00:25:17.760 thing that we
00:25:18.880 don't know about
00:25:19.680 and even if he
00:25:21.560 has some painkillers
00:25:22.840 in his body, I
00:25:23.540 don't feel like
00:25:24.180 that's what
00:25:24.660 happened.
00:25:26.620 I, I,
00:25:27.060 somebody says he
00:25:29.100 was probably
00:25:29.620 texting.
00:25:31.600 I don't know.
00:25:34.400 He could have
00:25:35.180 been texting, but
00:25:36.160 if, it just looks
00:25:37.140 like something else
00:25:38.180 happened, unless
00:25:38.980 the speed was so
00:25:39.880 high that, that
00:25:40.800 we're fooled by it.
00:25:41.940 On the plus side,
00:25:43.400 the SUV that he
00:25:44.740 was in, the
00:25:46.300 Genesis GV80,
00:25:48.960 apparently performed
00:25:50.540 well because the
00:25:51.880 entire front part
00:25:52.800 of the cart was
00:25:53.440 crushed, but Tiger
00:25:55.160 survived in a
00:25:56.980 pretty bad
00:25:57.340 accident.
00:25:58.380 So, shout
00:25:59.640 out to the
00:26:00.960 makers of the
00:26:02.820 Genesis
00:26:03.220 vehicle.
00:26:05.400 Assuming the
00:26:06.140 vehicle was not
00:26:07.080 part of the
00:26:07.580 accident, it
00:26:08.860 looks like it
00:26:09.400 may have saved
00:26:09.940 his life.
00:26:10.960 So there's some
00:26:11.480 good engineering
00:26:12.120 there.
00:26:13.120 Romney is saying
00:26:13.960 that if Trump
00:26:14.680 ran in 2024, he
00:26:16.540 would easily win
00:26:17.560 the nomination.
00:26:20.080 What do you
00:26:20.680 think about that?
00:26:21.880 Do you think
00:26:22.320 Trump would easily
00:26:23.480 win the nomination?
00:26:24.280 I feel like he
00:26:25.860 would, right?
00:26:26.720 Because you'd
00:26:27.420 have a number of
00:26:28.060 people running,
00:26:29.340 and he would
00:26:30.360 certainly get at
00:26:31.540 least 25% of the
00:26:33.140 vote, just like
00:26:33.880 the last time, and
00:26:35.300 that would be more
00:26:36.020 than any of the
00:26:36.820 others individually
00:26:37.600 got.
00:26:38.260 So just the fact
00:26:39.240 that he's the
00:26:39.720 biggest fish who
00:26:41.340 would be in that
00:26:41.980 lake, the biggest
00:26:43.720 one gets nominated.
00:26:45.640 So it does look
00:26:46.960 like Trump, I
00:26:48.020 would agree with
00:26:48.560 Romney, that if he
00:26:49.600 ran again, he'd at
00:26:51.680 least get the
00:26:52.220 nomination, I
00:26:53.500 would be very
00:26:54.060 skeptical that he
00:26:54.960 could win the
00:26:55.540 election.
00:26:58.180 He may be too
00:26:59.700 crippled by the
00:27:01.160 assault on the
00:27:02.280 Capitol, but he
00:27:03.520 could win the
00:27:04.000 nomination.
00:27:05.160 Now that brings
00:27:05.740 up the second
00:27:07.640 question of who
00:27:09.180 are the leaders in
00:27:10.160 this country anymore?
00:27:12.380 I feel like we
00:27:13.340 have this gigantic
00:27:14.380 vacuum of
00:27:16.240 leadership, both
00:27:18.580 on the left and
00:27:19.320 the right.
00:27:20.080 Now there are
00:27:20.480 certainly people that
00:27:21.280 are being talked
00:27:21.820 about for running
00:27:23.600 for president, but
00:27:25.100 none of them have
00:27:25.880 really the kind of
00:27:27.600 star power that
00:27:29.360 we're used to, and
00:27:30.300 maybe it's just the
00:27:31.200 Trump effect.
00:27:32.000 We have an
00:27:32.980 expectation of a
00:27:34.040 certain amount of
00:27:34.640 star power, but
00:27:35.840 maybe that's
00:27:36.340 unrealistic.
00:27:39.000 So here's my
00:27:39.940 take, and I
00:27:41.660 want to tell you
00:27:42.260 that if you will
00:27:43.920 be bothered in the
00:27:44.880 future about me
00:27:46.780 saying that AOC,
00:27:48.560 like Trump, has
00:27:50.160 real skill, even
00:27:52.160 if you don't like
00:27:52.780 her policies, you
00:27:55.260 probably don't want
00:27:55.860 to follow me,
00:27:56.860 because I'm going
00:27:57.300 to be talking about
00:27:57.980 it a lot.
00:27:58.740 And the reason I'm
00:27:59.380 going to be talking
00:27:59.900 about it a lot is
00:28:00.660 that AOC is the
00:28:02.820 only leader in the
00:28:03.740 country right now.
00:28:05.300 Now, I don't like
00:28:06.680 the things she's
00:28:07.540 talking about in
00:28:09.760 every case.
00:28:11.520 Some of it I do
00:28:12.400 like, actually.
00:28:12.960 But, so I'm not
00:28:14.520 agreeing with her
00:28:15.240 policies, but I
00:28:18.800 would say she's the
00:28:19.720 only national leader
00:28:20.940 we have at the
00:28:21.660 moment.
00:28:23.160 I know that's a big
00:28:24.220 statement, but I
00:28:25.840 think it is.
00:28:26.960 And she is very
00:28:28.460 wisely, which, I
00:28:31.140 mean, I think she's
00:28:31.900 guaranteed to be
00:28:32.700 president eventually.
00:28:34.280 I just don't know
00:28:34.960 when.
00:28:36.140 So here's my
00:28:37.220 prediction.
00:28:39.340 AOC is guaranteed
00:28:40.380 to be president
00:28:41.340 eventually, guaranteed.
00:28:43.960 Unless there's some
00:28:44.900 like new scandal
00:28:45.900 that we don't know
00:28:46.660 about.
00:28:47.240 But if she just
00:28:47.920 keeps doing what
00:28:48.720 she's doing, she
00:28:50.500 will be president.
00:28:51.720 And here's the
00:28:52.400 thing.
00:28:53.280 You can back a
00:28:54.640 leader that you
00:28:55.360 don't agree with
00:28:56.760 if they're leading.
00:28:58.700 At least they're
00:28:59.740 leading, right?
00:29:01.380 I backed Trump,
00:29:04.140 as you know, even
00:29:05.460 though there were a
00:29:06.120 number of things
00:29:06.760 that he wanted to
00:29:07.740 do that I would
00:29:08.540 not agree with,
00:29:09.420 such as deporting
00:29:10.620 11 million people
00:29:12.120 when he took
00:29:12.780 office, right?
00:29:13.680 Now, I knew that
00:29:14.700 he wouldn't do
00:29:15.440 that, and he
00:29:16.300 didn't.
00:29:17.420 But I can back
00:29:19.900 a leader who
00:29:20.900 has things and
00:29:22.620 their policies I
00:29:23.460 don't like, as
00:29:24.820 long as they're a
00:29:25.480 leader.
00:29:26.220 Because you need
00:29:26.960 the leadership,
00:29:27.640 right?
00:29:28.900 You can't do
00:29:29.560 without it.
00:29:30.700 And I would say
00:29:31.360 AOC is now the
00:29:32.440 only national
00:29:33.320 leader, if you
00:29:34.440 don't count Trump
00:29:35.260 who's sort of on
00:29:35.900 hiatus at the
00:29:36.680 moment.
00:29:36.920 I'm watching
00:29:40.000 the comments
00:29:40.580 and watching
00:29:41.080 people throwing
00:29:41.900 up, people
00:29:43.220 are going into
00:29:44.280 spasms.
00:29:45.680 No, she's not
00:29:46.640 a leader, she's
00:29:47.440 a fake.
00:29:50.220 Calling her a
00:29:51.000 fake isn't
00:29:51.540 saying anything,
00:29:52.760 because all
00:29:53.540 leaders are
00:29:54.220 putting on a
00:29:54.860 show.
00:29:55.920 So she's
00:29:56.640 putting on a
00:29:57.200 show, and if
00:29:58.200 you say to
00:29:58.700 me, but wait,
00:29:59.820 she's fake,
00:30:00.420 because she's
00:30:00.760 just putting on
00:30:01.300 a show, I
00:30:02.860 say, what did
00:30:03.860 you think Trump
00:30:05.540 was?
00:30:06.780 He was a
00:30:07.240 guy who was
00:30:07.800 smart enough to
00:30:08.620 know how to
00:30:09.100 put on a
00:30:09.560 show, and it
00:30:10.220 worked.
00:30:12.520 Same skills.
00:30:13.380 All right, so
00:30:13.860 AOC is in the
00:30:14.560 news again, because
00:30:15.280 she took on the
00:30:16.080 Biden administration
00:30:17.720 for reopening the
00:30:19.020 Texas migrant
00:30:19.880 facilities, which
00:30:21.600 in the past have
00:30:22.560 been called kids
00:30:23.540 in cages, although
00:30:24.660 the actual cage
00:30:26.400 cage may be down
00:30:27.960 the road if the
00:30:28.800 numbers keep
00:30:29.560 coming in the
00:30:30.100 way they are.
00:30:31.300 But still, it's a
00:30:32.280 facility where you're
00:30:33.120 locking up kids, and
00:30:34.300 AOC came out
00:30:35.880 publicly, and
00:30:36.600 even though it's
00:30:37.140 her own party, she
00:30:38.840 said, this is not
00:30:39.880 okay.
00:30:41.940 And she said,
00:30:44.020 never has been
00:30:45.360 okay, never will
00:30:46.240 be okay, no
00:30:47.000 matter the
00:30:47.460 administration or
00:30:48.480 party, she
00:30:49.120 tweeted.
00:30:50.940 That's leadership.
00:30:53.380 That's leadership.
00:30:54.420 All right, I'm
00:30:54.800 going to delete
00:30:55.280 you.
00:30:56.760 All right, let me
00:30:57.840 give you a rule
00:30:58.600 here.
00:30:59.160 Everybody who
00:30:59.820 says that when I
00:31:00.720 talk about AOC's
00:31:02.000 skill, that I'm
00:31:03.620 really having a
00:31:04.380 crush on her, you're
00:31:06.200 just going to get
00:31:06.800 blocked.
00:31:07.920 Because I don't
00:31:08.860 want to deal with
00:31:09.540 that level of high
00:31:10.520 school mentality.
00:31:12.020 Okay?
00:31:12.840 People can be
00:31:13.740 female and also
00:31:14.800 good at leadership.
00:31:16.940 Can we not accept
00:31:19.780 that that's like a
00:31:21.240 thing?
00:31:22.760 So, goodbye to
00:31:25.420 Kent.
00:31:26.820 All right, if
00:31:32.600 anybody else wants
00:31:33.400 to suggest that
00:31:35.160 my real interest
00:31:36.220 in her is
00:31:37.220 because she's a
00:31:38.900 woman, I'd like to
00:31:40.020 block you right
00:31:40.660 away so I don't
00:31:41.340 have to deal with
00:31:41.860 that anymore.
00:31:42.760 Okay?
00:31:43.960 All right.
00:31:48.540 Who else would
00:31:49.920 you say?
00:31:50.420 I'd like to see in
00:31:51.100 your comments.
00:31:52.580 I've made a claim
00:31:53.540 that some of you
00:31:54.160 don't like, that
00:31:54.840 she's the only
00:31:55.720 national leader at
00:31:57.640 the moment.
00:31:58.880 Because she's going
00:31:59.900 against her own
00:32:00.560 party.
00:32:01.500 You're not a leader
00:32:02.560 if all you're doing
00:32:03.360 is agreeing with
00:32:04.080 your side.
00:32:05.580 Did Trump always
00:32:07.120 just agree with
00:32:08.040 his side?
00:32:09.140 He didn't.
00:32:10.580 That's partly why
00:32:12.100 there's so much
00:32:12.540 trouble, right?
00:32:13.360 He was always
00:32:14.100 fighting with his
00:32:14.880 own side.
00:32:15.920 If you're not
00:32:16.660 fighting with your
00:32:17.420 own side, in
00:32:19.580 addition to the
00:32:20.260 other side, you're
00:32:21.320 not a leader, you're
00:32:22.900 just a team
00:32:23.380 player.
00:32:23.700 So until you
00:32:25.840 see somebody
00:32:26.500 cross their own
00:32:28.540 party line, you're
00:32:30.120 not talking about
00:32:30.760 a leader.
00:32:31.400 You're just
00:32:31.780 talking about a
00:32:32.460 political hack,
00:32:34.100 basically.
00:32:35.460 So AOC has
00:32:36.600 done it twice in
00:32:37.620 the past week.
00:32:38.580 I forget what the
00:32:39.240 other one was.
00:32:40.420 But we have one
00:32:41.600 leader in the
00:32:42.160 country, like it
00:32:43.620 or not.
00:32:44.480 Give me another
00:32:45.120 name of somebody
00:32:46.040 who would fall
00:32:47.940 into that camp.
00:32:49.700 I'm seeing Rand
00:32:50.460 Paul Tulsi.
00:32:51.320 Tulsi is a good
00:32:53.460 name in that.
00:32:54.780 I would say
00:32:55.240 Tulsi compared
00:32:57.760 to AOC would
00:32:59.280 be, I hate
00:33:01.340 to say this
00:33:01.820 because I really
00:33:02.300 like Tulsi
00:33:04.060 Gabbard as a
00:33:05.080 political voice,
00:33:07.060 but I feel like
00:33:08.560 she's the Mike
00:33:09.400 Pence to AOC
00:33:11.960 being Trump.
00:33:14.080 I hate to say
00:33:15.060 that.
00:33:15.380 That's really not
00:33:15.980 a fair thing to
00:33:16.680 say.
00:33:17.820 But Tulsi
00:33:18.700 doesn't bring
00:33:19.520 the heat,
00:33:20.660 the energy,
00:33:23.180 and partly
00:33:23.700 because her
00:33:24.160 personality is
00:33:24.960 sort of low
00:33:25.700 key.
00:33:26.620 So she brings
00:33:27.220 capability and
00:33:28.340 good things that
00:33:28.940 you like and
00:33:29.940 would be a very
00:33:30.700 capable president,
00:33:31.960 in my opinion.
00:33:32.680 I could get
00:33:33.380 behind that.
00:33:34.920 But I don't
00:33:35.700 know she has
00:33:36.140 the star power,
00:33:37.400 quite.
00:33:39.340 It would be an
00:33:39.860 interesting contest.
00:33:42.020 How would you
00:33:42.600 like to see a
00:33:43.200 presidential contest
00:33:44.200 someday between
00:33:46.060 Tulsi Gabbard and
00:33:48.320 AOC?
00:33:49.740 Just woman
00:33:50.540 versus woman.
00:33:52.740 That would be
00:33:53.200 pretty interesting.
00:33:54.240 I could get
00:33:54.900 into that.
00:33:55.460 That would be
00:33:55.800 fun.
00:33:57.020 And maybe time.
00:33:58.120 Maybe it's time
00:33:58.720 for two women
00:33:59.340 to be running
00:33:59.900 for president.
00:34:01.440 That would be
00:34:02.180 the real shake
00:34:05.140 up, wouldn't
00:34:05.580 it?
00:34:10.200 Somebody says
00:34:10.980 she's charismatic
00:34:11.700 and dangerous
00:34:12.460 like many evil
00:34:13.380 leaders of the
00:34:13.940 past.
00:34:15.000 So she's
00:34:15.580 added some
00:34:17.660 nuance to
00:34:18.680 what AOC has,
00:34:20.100 to what she's
00:34:20.600 saying about
00:34:21.060 border and
00:34:21.900 getting rid of
00:34:22.520 ICE and
00:34:23.180 opening the
00:34:23.760 borders and
00:34:24.320 stuff.
00:34:24.580 And all of
00:34:24.920 it sounds
00:34:25.280 crazy, right?
00:34:26.800 When you
00:34:27.140 first hear it,
00:34:27.700 you're like,
00:34:28.120 what are you
00:34:28.720 talking about
00:34:29.200 opening the
00:34:29.840 borders?
00:34:30.580 That's the
00:34:30.960 worst idea I've
00:34:31.720 ever heard in
00:34:32.240 the entire
00:34:32.640 world.
00:34:33.560 But if you
00:34:34.060 actually hear her
00:34:34.720 talk about it
00:34:35.400 in more depth,
00:34:37.220 what she's
00:34:37.780 talking about is
00:34:38.780 figuring out how
00:34:40.080 to do it.
00:34:41.520 And the idea
00:34:42.500 is that there
00:34:43.060 might be a
00:34:43.560 big idea of
00:34:44.960 just rethinking
00:34:45.840 everything that
00:34:47.220 would make
00:34:47.780 aggressive border
00:34:49.600 control not
00:34:50.440 necessary.
00:34:51.660 That it doesn't
00:34:52.560 mean it would be
00:34:53.060 bad for the
00:34:53.640 United States,
00:34:54.860 but there's the
00:34:56.980 feeling that you
00:34:58.620 could get from
00:34:59.180 where we are to
00:35:00.080 some better
00:35:00.660 place, and we
00:35:01.940 don't know what
00:35:02.580 the path is.
00:35:04.200 Now, what do
00:35:04.720 you think of
00:35:05.120 that?
00:35:06.160 What do you
00:35:06.600 think of the
00:35:07.080 fact that AOC's
00:35:08.960 plan for
00:35:09.760 immigration is
00:35:10.920 will do
00:35:12.120 something that
00:35:12.740 nobody's thought
00:35:13.440 of yet, and I
00:35:14.240 haven't thought
00:35:14.740 of it either, but
00:35:15.880 it'll be really
00:35:16.500 good, and it'll
00:35:17.160 fix things.
00:35:18.440 What do you
00:35:18.840 think of a
00:35:19.240 plan like that?
00:35:21.180 Is your first
00:35:22.020 thought, oh my
00:35:22.720 God, she doesn't
00:35:23.320 have a plan.
00:35:24.680 There's no
00:35:25.280 plan.
00:35:27.340 Right?
00:35:27.900 That's your
00:35:28.280 first thought.
00:35:29.620 Here's my
00:35:30.220 first thought.
00:35:31.500 That's the
00:35:32.100 leader I want.
00:35:33.740 Now, I'm not
00:35:34.160 saying AOC.
00:35:35.220 I'm saying I
00:35:36.140 want a leader who
00:35:37.000 talks exactly like
00:35:38.380 that.
00:35:39.220 That's exactly
00:35:40.160 what I want to
00:35:41.020 hear.
00:35:41.580 I want to hear
00:35:42.380 that here's where
00:35:43.820 we want to get
00:35:44.480 to, here's where
00:35:45.880 we are, and we
00:35:47.080 have no idea how
00:35:48.040 to get there, but
00:35:48.740 damn it, we're
00:35:49.280 going to figure
00:35:49.680 it out.
00:35:50.900 We're going to
00:35:51.480 figure it out.
00:35:52.240 And if we can't
00:35:53.000 figure it out, well,
00:35:54.580 at least we
00:35:55.020 tried.
00:35:56.840 That's the leader
00:35:57.500 I want.
00:35:58.360 I don't want
00:35:59.040 somebody who
00:35:59.640 says, you know,
00:36:00.820 I'm not even
00:36:01.580 going to try to
00:36:02.240 get there unless
00:36:02.880 I know all the
00:36:03.500 steps.
00:36:04.620 When Kennedy
00:36:05.440 said we're
00:36:05.940 going to the
00:36:06.540 moon, did he
00:36:08.240 say we
00:36:08.700 already know
00:36:09.240 how to get
00:36:09.620 to the moon?
00:36:11.020 No.
00:36:12.060 The reason
00:36:12.660 Kennedy is
00:36:13.320 called such
00:36:13.860 a great leader
00:36:14.680 for saying
00:36:15.160 we're going
00:36:15.520 to the moon
00:36:16.000 is specifically
00:36:17.480 because, wait
00:36:19.700 for it, we
00:36:21.280 didn't know
00:36:21.620 how to do
00:36:22.040 it.
00:36:23.160 I mean, we
00:36:23.600 figured we
00:36:24.120 could figure
00:36:24.560 it out, but
00:36:26.180 we didn't know
00:36:26.640 how when he
00:36:27.700 talked about
00:36:28.140 it.
00:36:28.780 We don't
00:36:29.400 know how to
00:36:29.840 fix immigration
00:36:30.680 such that strong
00:36:32.120 enforcement would
00:36:33.000 not even be
00:36:33.600 necessary.
00:36:34.780 We don't know
00:36:35.220 how to do
00:36:35.560 that.
00:36:35.840 AOC says,
00:36:38.300 let's figure
00:36:39.320 it out.
00:36:40.740 I like
00:36:41.500 that.
00:36:42.740 I don't
00:36:43.100 know if we
00:36:43.520 can figure
00:36:44.080 it out, but
00:36:44.780 I also would
00:36:45.400 not have
00:36:45.780 known if we
00:36:46.400 could figure
00:36:46.860 out landing
00:36:47.440 on the moon.
00:36:48.440 I wouldn't
00:36:49.060 have known.
00:36:50.680 I was
00:36:51.280 somebody who
00:36:51.880 challenges us.
00:36:54.460 AOC challenged
00:36:55.640 the country to
00:36:57.180 figure out how
00:36:57.980 to do this
00:36:58.580 without being
00:36:59.240 cruel to people
00:37:00.180 coming across.
00:37:01.060 is it
00:37:02.020 impossible?
00:37:03.060 If you
00:37:03.680 say it's
00:37:04.160 impossible,
00:37:05.960 check your
00:37:08.500 thinking.
00:37:10.020 It might
00:37:10.600 be impossible.
00:37:11.840 I can't
00:37:12.320 see a way
00:37:12.660 to do it.
00:37:14.220 I don't
00:37:14.740 think you
00:37:15.060 can see a
00:37:15.480 way to do
00:37:15.840 it.
00:37:16.620 But I
00:37:17.260 don't want
00:37:17.840 to live in
00:37:18.180 a country
00:37:18.600 where my
00:37:19.760 leader agrees
00:37:20.700 with me.
00:37:21.700 Right?
00:37:22.340 I don't
00:37:22.860 want my
00:37:23.240 leader to
00:37:23.700 say, oh,
00:37:24.200 you can't
00:37:24.560 see how
00:37:24.820 to do
00:37:25.040 it?
00:37:25.280 I guess
00:37:25.780 we can't
00:37:26.140 do it.
00:37:27.580 I guess
00:37:28.000 we can't
00:37:28.340 go to the
00:37:28.680 moon.
00:37:29.040 Anybody?
00:37:29.680 Anybody?
00:37:29.940 Can somebody
00:37:31.200 build a
00:37:31.740 rocket?
00:37:32.220 Anybody in
00:37:32.660 the audience?
00:37:33.140 None of
00:37:33.420 you?
00:37:34.200 Nobody knows
00:37:34.840 how to
00:37:35.060 build a
00:37:35.340 rocket to
00:37:35.720 the moon.
00:37:36.640 Guess we
00:37:37.160 can't go.
00:37:39.020 You don't
00:37:39.560 need that
00:37:39.880 kind of
00:37:40.160 leadership.
00:37:41.100 You need
00:37:41.460 the people
00:37:42.220 who say,
00:37:42.720 we're going
00:37:42.920 to make
00:37:43.160 this work.
00:37:43.980 We don't
00:37:44.380 know how
00:37:44.720 yet.
00:37:45.280 But we're
00:37:45.620 going to
00:37:45.780 make it
00:37:46.060 work.
00:37:46.940 We don't
00:37:47.300 know how.
00:37:48.900 Now,
00:37:50.040 or she's
00:37:51.320 crazy.
00:37:54.040 In the
00:37:54.580 comments,
00:37:54.980 somebody says,
00:37:55.420 or she's
00:37:55.880 crazy.
00:37:56.860 Well,
00:37:57.360 let me put
00:37:57.780 it to you
00:37:58.140 this way.
00:37:58.540 If she
00:38:00.400 were crazy,
00:38:01.980 you'd see
00:38:02.520 it in
00:38:02.860 lots of
00:38:03.300 different ways,
00:38:04.000 I think.
00:38:05.100 It would be
00:38:05.780 sort of
00:38:06.060 obvious.
00:38:06.740 But if she's
00:38:07.540 smarter than
00:38:08.240 you think
00:38:08.820 she is,
00:38:10.060 she would
00:38:10.500 talk like
00:38:11.020 this.
00:38:12.440 She says
00:38:13.180 directly,
00:38:13.780 I don't know
00:38:14.220 how to do
00:38:14.640 it.
00:38:15.700 If she said,
00:38:16.640 I do know
00:38:17.140 how to do
00:38:17.560 it, but I'm
00:38:18.520 not telling
00:38:18.980 you, well,
00:38:20.240 then she's
00:38:20.760 crazy.
00:38:21.520 Or if she
00:38:22.020 said, I do
00:38:22.460 know how to
00:38:22.860 do it, and
00:38:23.300 what she
00:38:23.600 described clearly
00:38:25.140 wouldn't work,
00:38:26.060 such as
00:38:27.160 just throwing
00:38:27.780 the gates
00:38:28.220 open and
00:38:28.940 opening the
00:38:29.840 border, but
00:38:30.620 she's not
00:38:31.060 saying that.
00:38:32.500 She is
00:38:33.160 smart enough
00:38:33.740 to know
00:38:34.240 that that
00:38:35.480 wouldn't
00:38:35.780 work, and
00:38:37.140 she doesn't
00:38:37.620 know what
00:38:38.020 would work,
00:38:39.500 but she
00:38:39.960 has a
00:38:41.400 moonshot
00:38:42.140 idea about
00:38:43.200 how to get
00:38:43.680 there.
00:38:46.080 All right,
00:38:46.820 Chris
00:38:47.120 Silliza, let's
00:38:48.100 talk about
00:38:48.460 the fake
00:38:48.760 news.
00:38:49.260 So I
00:38:52.120 love how
00:38:52.620 CNN creates
00:38:54.880 news out
00:38:55.640 of nothing
00:38:56.140 using the
00:38:57.560 opinion people,
00:38:58.860 and they're
00:38:59.260 not alone.
00:38:59.980 I suppose
00:39:00.440 Fox News
00:39:01.160 does the
00:39:01.600 same, but
00:39:02.720 this example
00:39:03.620 shows you
00:39:04.460 how it's
00:39:04.800 done.
00:39:05.880 So Chris
00:39:06.300 Silliza, in
00:39:06.920 a larger
00:39:07.360 article talking
00:39:08.280 about a
00:39:08.760 number of
00:39:09.040 things,
00:39:09.820 talks about
00:39:10.300 Senator
00:39:10.780 Johnson
00:39:11.280 said last
00:39:12.760 week that
00:39:14.560 he didn't
00:39:15.100 believe what
00:39:15.780 happened at
00:39:16.340 the Capitol
00:39:16.840 was, quote,
00:39:17.680 an armed
00:39:18.380 insurrection.
00:39:20.120 So there's
00:39:21.060 a quote from
00:39:21.720 a senator
00:39:22.180 saying he
00:39:22.700 didn't think
00:39:23.060 it was an
00:39:23.440 armed
00:39:23.680 insurrection
00:39:24.240 at the
00:39:24.620 Capitol,
00:39:25.420 and then
00:39:26.120 Silliza
00:39:26.560 finishes that
00:39:27.740 sentence with
00:39:29.600 comma,
00:39:30.960 despite ample
00:39:31.920 evidence that
00:39:32.680 it was.
00:39:35.420 So it's
00:39:36.180 just put out
00:39:36.660 there like
00:39:37.140 common
00:39:37.680 knowledge,
00:39:39.240 despite ample
00:39:40.180 evidence that
00:39:40.880 it was an
00:39:41.700 armed
00:39:42.000 insurrection,
00:39:42.880 to which I
00:39:43.380 say, I
00:39:44.820 didn't see
00:39:45.200 any.
00:39:46.320 Did they
00:39:46.720 report some
00:39:47.380 ample evidence
00:39:48.060 that it was
00:39:48.640 an armed
00:39:49.180 insurrection?
00:39:51.520 I didn't see
00:39:52.400 any evidence.
00:39:53.640 In fact, I
00:39:54.160 saw lots of
00:39:55.780 evidence that
00:39:56.400 it wasn't.
00:39:57.760 I mean, lots
00:39:58.580 and lots of
00:39:59.180 evidence that
00:39:59.780 it wasn't.
00:40:01.140 It was just
00:40:01.680 individuals who
00:40:02.760 wanted a
00:40:03.460 different election
00:40:04.020 outcome, or
00:40:05.640 wanted
00:40:06.100 transparency.
00:40:08.280 But he just
00:40:09.240 puts it out
00:40:09.760 there in an
00:40:10.480 opinion article
00:40:11.460 as if that's
00:40:13.340 just an
00:40:13.800 established fact.
00:40:14.760 Now, if
00:40:15.500 you were a
00:40:15.920 CNN consumer,
00:40:17.520 and you
00:40:17.860 weren't, let's
00:40:18.560 say, following
00:40:19.120 news every
00:40:19.780 day, but you
00:40:20.320 read this
00:40:20.700 article, wouldn't
00:40:22.020 you accept that
00:40:22.780 this must be
00:40:23.360 just an
00:40:23.780 established fact?
00:40:26.180 Never
00:40:26.640 happened.
00:40:27.620 Nothing like
00:40:28.420 this established
00:40:29.240 that as a
00:40:29.880 fact.
00:40:30.540 In fact, it's
00:40:31.140 obviously not
00:40:31.940 true.
00:40:32.900 You don't even
00:40:33.400 have to be an
00:40:33.860 expert to know
00:40:34.420 that's not
00:40:34.920 true.
00:40:35.160 You just look at
00:40:36.920 the photos of
00:40:37.720 the actual
00:40:38.160 assault.
00:40:40.460 They're
00:40:40.980 obviously not
00:40:41.700 trying to
00:40:42.100 overthrow the
00:40:42.660 government.
00:40:43.540 They could
00:40:44.140 never have
00:40:44.640 had any
00:40:45.060 plan that
00:40:45.660 says, if
00:40:46.880 we put the
00:40:47.400 Viking hat
00:40:48.000 guy and the
00:40:49.180 zip tie guy
00:40:51.660 in this room
00:40:52.780 that's empty,
00:40:53.940 they will
00:40:54.640 control the
00:40:55.240 government of
00:40:55.660 the United
00:40:56.000 States.
00:40:56.380 I mean, it's
00:40:56.620 just ridiculous.
00:40:58.100 So this is
00:40:58.620 one example
00:40:59.220 of CNN,
00:41:01.520 their technique
00:41:02.680 for perpetuating
00:41:03.740 fake news.
00:41:06.120 Tucker Carlson
00:41:06.840 had a real
00:41:07.700 interesting piece
00:41:08.840 about the
00:41:10.320 disinformation
00:41:10.900 campaign in
00:41:11.940 this country.
00:41:12.660 so-called
00:41:14.640 disinformation
00:41:15.220 campaign.
00:41:16.960 And there's
00:41:18.920 a part I
00:41:19.440 don't quite
00:41:20.340 agree with
00:41:21.800 Tucker, but
00:41:23.320 sadly, I've
00:41:25.180 had enough
00:41:25.620 experience
00:41:26.220 disagreeing with
00:41:27.200 Tucker and
00:41:27.820 then later
00:41:28.280 agreeing with
00:41:28.920 him that
00:41:30.340 I'm not going
00:41:31.840 to say that
00:41:32.360 just because I
00:41:33.080 disagree with
00:41:33.840 him on a
00:41:34.640 minor point,
00:41:35.220 I'll tell you
00:41:35.580 about in a
00:41:35.960 minute, that
00:41:36.900 he's necessarily
00:41:37.760 wrong.
00:41:39.240 So don't
00:41:40.100 take that
00:41:40.500 from it.
00:41:41.580 I'm just
00:41:41.940 saying I'm
00:41:42.580 not on the
00:41:43.020 same page,
00:41:43.620 but he
00:41:43.880 could be
00:41:44.120 right.
00:41:44.700 We'll find
00:41:45.140 out.
00:41:46.120 And here's
00:41:46.620 his point,
00:41:48.180 that there
00:41:50.280 was a
00:41:50.580 researcher who
00:41:51.360 found out
00:41:51.920 that around
00:41:52.460 2011, when
00:41:54.320 the Occupy
00:41:55.400 Wall Street
00:41:55.920 stuff was
00:41:56.600 happening,
00:41:57.500 and remember
00:41:57.920 Occupy Wall
00:41:58.820 Street was
00:41:59.300 really about
00:41:59.980 going after
00:42:01.140 the rich,
00:42:02.460 the Wall
00:42:03.020 Street rich,
00:42:03.960 those rich
00:42:04.520 people.
00:42:04.760 So it
00:42:05.760 was an
00:42:06.140 anti-rich
00:42:07.080 movement,
00:42:08.220 anti-rich
00:42:08.800 people
00:42:09.100 movement.
00:42:10.800 Have you
00:42:11.380 heard about
00:42:11.720 that lately?
00:42:13.560 When was
00:42:14.040 the last
00:42:14.380 time you
00:42:14.700 heard about
00:42:15.080 Occupy
00:42:15.660 Wall Street
00:42:16.240 and all
00:42:18.400 those rich
00:42:18.880 people?
00:42:20.440 It just
00:42:21.080 sort of went
00:42:21.500 away,
00:42:21.860 didn't it?
00:42:23.260 What replaced
00:42:24.200 it?
00:42:25.280 Well, what
00:42:25.860 replaced it is
00:42:26.960 the narrative
00:42:27.540 that the
00:42:28.180 biggest problem
00:42:28.740 in the United
00:42:29.180 States is
00:42:30.140 race.
00:42:31.240 it was
00:42:32.900 just replaced.
00:42:34.680 So, instead
00:42:36.300 of going
00:42:36.680 after rich
00:42:37.240 people, it
00:42:38.160 turned into
00:42:38.840 the races
00:42:40.280 going after
00:42:40.900 each other.
00:42:42.240 And who,
00:42:43.520 how did
00:42:43.920 that happen?
00:42:45.460 How'd that
00:42:45.900 happen?
00:42:48.400 Did it just
00:42:49.260 sort of
00:42:49.940 naturally
00:42:50.420 happen?
00:42:51.440 Did it
00:42:51.940 evolve into
00:42:53.180 happening and
00:42:53.860 there was no
00:42:54.320 decision making?
00:42:55.600 Well, here's
00:42:56.080 where I might
00:42:56.820 be on a
00:42:57.220 different page
00:42:57.760 from Tucker
00:42:58.500 because the
00:42:59.480 suggestion, or
00:43:00.460 at least what
00:43:00.880 I took from
00:43:01.580 it, I
00:43:01.880 could be
00:43:02.280 misinterpreting
00:43:02.940 it, but I
00:43:03.780 took from
00:43:04.220 Tucker's piece
00:43:04.920 that there
00:43:05.460 was some
00:43:05.840 intention there
00:43:06.820 by important
00:43:09.000 figures who
00:43:09.860 are the
00:43:10.320 puppet masters
00:43:10.960 of our
00:43:11.460 society to
00:43:12.820 make people
00:43:13.640 stop focusing
00:43:14.540 on the
00:43:15.020 rich, because
00:43:16.460 the rich
00:43:16.820 people don't
00:43:17.280 want that,
00:43:18.440 and give
00:43:19.960 you a
00:43:20.240 diversion,
00:43:20.860 something
00:43:21.120 shiny.
00:43:23.440 Here's
00:43:23.780 something to
00:43:24.280 back Tucker's
00:43:25.340 point.
00:43:26.540 He says
00:43:26.900 that,
00:43:28.920 let's see,
00:43:29.700 when people
00:43:32.320 were asked
00:43:33.000 how many
00:43:34.040 unarmed,
00:43:35.540 the key
00:43:36.080 word is
00:43:36.420 unarmed,
00:43:37.620 people who
00:43:38.520 have been
00:43:38.720 killed by
00:43:39.180 police,
00:43:39.800 specifically how
00:43:40.640 many unarmed
00:43:41.660 African-Americans
00:43:42.640 were gunned
00:43:43.400 down by police
00:43:44.140 in 2019.
00:43:46.380 So they do a
00:43:46.880 survey and
00:43:47.260 they say,
00:43:47.900 take your
00:43:48.860 best guess
00:43:49.600 how many
00:43:51.000 unarmed,
00:43:52.340 keyword
00:43:52.760 unarmed,
00:43:54.120 black
00:43:55.000 citizens were
00:43:57.040 gunned down by
00:43:57.920 cops that
00:43:58.560 year,
00:43:59.460 presumably
00:44:00.080 meaning killed.
00:44:02.280 What do you
00:44:03.100 think people
00:44:03.540 guessed?
00:44:05.020 Democrats
00:44:05.740 guessed 44%
00:44:07.540 of Democrats,
00:44:09.500 no, actually
00:44:10.040 44% of
00:44:11.380 liberals,
00:44:12.500 said they
00:44:13.500 believe it
00:44:14.040 was about
00:44:14.380 1,000 or
00:44:15.260 more per
00:44:16.880 year.
00:44:18.520 That's because
00:44:19.540 they listened
00:44:20.160 to the news
00:44:20.940 and social
00:44:21.600 media.
00:44:22.800 And they
00:44:23.180 believed 44%
00:44:24.740 of liberals,
00:44:26.340 almost half,
00:44:27.920 believe that
00:44:28.960 the number
00:44:29.420 is close to
00:44:30.240 1,000 or
00:44:31.020 more.
00:44:32.280 Now, let
00:44:33.800 me ask you
00:44:34.260 something.
00:44:35.400 If police
00:44:36.320 were killing
00:44:36.900 1,000 unarmed
00:44:38.620 black men a
00:44:39.720 year in this
00:44:40.400 country, you
00:44:42.080 couldn't keep
00:44:42.860 me off the
00:44:44.420 street, right?
00:44:46.060 Like I would
00:44:46.700 be in Black
00:44:47.420 Lives Matter,
00:44:48.720 like I would
00:44:49.200 be a charter
00:44:49.800 member,
00:44:50.820 dues-paying
00:44:51.580 member.
00:44:52.500 If this number
00:44:53.220 were anywhere
00:44:53.800 near that,
00:44:55.460 you would
00:44:56.440 have to leave
00:44:57.140 your house,
00:44:58.160 you would
00:44:58.540 have to
00:44:58.940 protest,
00:44:59.980 you would
00:45:00.340 have to
00:45:00.700 defund
00:45:01.060 the police.
00:45:02.520 You would
00:45:02.820 have to,
00:45:03.620 if this were
00:45:04.340 even close
00:45:04.900 to true.
00:45:06.500 But of
00:45:07.100 course it's
00:45:07.440 not.
00:45:07.820 The real
00:45:08.060 number is
00:45:08.460 under 30.
00:45:10.320 So liberals
00:45:11.100 think it's
00:45:11.960 1,000 or
00:45:12.820 more a year.
00:45:14.160 You would
00:45:14.740 act very
00:45:15.520 differently if
00:45:16.480 it were 1,000
00:45:17.200 or more a
00:45:17.700 year.
00:45:18.320 You would
00:45:18.700 act very
00:45:19.200 differently.
00:45:20.420 So you
00:45:21.240 can almost
00:45:21.600 understand why
00:45:22.900 there's this
00:45:23.260 big difference.
00:45:23.780 there's a
00:45:24.340 news black
00:45:27.740 hole, no
00:45:28.860 pun intended,
00:45:29.980 in which
00:45:30.740 liberals just
00:45:31.880 don't know
00:45:32.500 what's
00:45:32.760 happening.
00:45:33.960 And
00:45:34.160 conservatives
00:45:34.620 do.
00:45:35.300 So actually
00:45:35.920 25% of
00:45:36.960 conservatives
00:45:37.560 even thought
00:45:39.020 that.
00:45:40.720 What?
00:45:41.780 What kind
00:45:42.420 of news are
00:45:42.940 the conservatives
00:45:43.480 watching?
00:45:44.620 Because I
00:45:45.260 don't know
00:45:45.560 any conservative
00:45:46.220 news sites
00:45:46.900 that have
00:45:47.280 reported this
00:45:47.960 incorrectly or
00:45:48.920 suggested that
00:45:49.720 it was anywhere
00:45:50.140 in that range.
00:45:50.920 But even
00:45:52.040 the conservative
00:45:52.760 news talks
00:45:54.780 about what
00:45:55.400 CNN talks
00:45:56.140 about.
00:45:56.860 In other
00:45:57.140 words, the
00:45:57.940 news covers
00:45:58.640 the news.
00:46:00.240 So maybe
00:46:01.040 wherever you
00:46:01.840 watch you
00:46:02.340 could be
00:46:02.660 misled.
00:46:03.480 But just
00:46:03.820 think how
00:46:04.400 big a deal
00:46:04.980 that is.
00:46:06.600 I mean,
00:46:07.720 and then
00:46:08.260 this question
00:46:09.460 was not
00:46:10.000 asked, but
00:46:11.320 how many
00:46:12.400 liberals
00:46:13.480 believe that
00:46:14.440 President Trump
00:46:15.240 once said
00:46:16.140 that neo-Nazis
00:46:18.080 were fine
00:46:19.200 people?
00:46:20.920 I'll bet
00:46:21.460 it's over
00:46:21.840 80%.
00:46:22.660 It could
00:46:23.880 be 90%.
00:46:24.800 I'll bet
00:46:25.500 90% of
00:46:26.320 liberals
00:46:26.620 believe that
00:46:27.240 that fake
00:46:27.800 news actually
00:46:28.760 happened.
00:46:29.800 Most
00:46:30.320 conservatives
00:46:30.920 know it's
00:46:31.340 a hoax.
00:46:32.200 If you
00:46:32.660 look at the
00:46:33.040 full transcript,
00:46:33.980 he said
00:46:34.340 the opposite.
00:46:38.140 But, man,
00:46:39.300 it is so
00:46:39.880 clear that
00:46:41.340 the real
00:46:41.860 problem in
00:46:42.420 this country
00:46:42.920 is a
00:46:43.500 disinformation
00:46:44.100 campaign from
00:46:45.060 the media.
00:46:45.500 and it's
00:46:48.300 hard to
00:46:49.080 discount it
00:46:50.220 as unintentional,
00:46:51.620 isn't it?
00:46:52.420 It's really
00:46:53.120 hard to look
00:46:53.700 at this set
00:46:54.260 of facts
00:46:54.780 and say,
00:46:55.860 well,
00:46:56.120 nobody's
00:46:56.600 doing that
00:46:57.080 intentionally.
00:46:59.300 Although,
00:47:00.180 I'm not
00:47:00.540 sold that
00:47:01.960 the case
00:47:02.800 has been
00:47:03.140 made,
00:47:03.640 that there
00:47:04.100 are shadowy
00:47:04.860 puppet masters.
00:47:06.380 Who are
00:47:06.840 they?
00:47:07.440 What are
00:47:08.000 their names?
00:47:08.540 When did
00:47:08.880 they have
00:47:09.180 a meeting?
00:47:10.120 Did they
00:47:10.600 have a
00:47:11.000 meeting,
00:47:11.300 or did
00:47:11.540 they just
00:47:11.880 know what
00:47:12.320 to do?
00:47:13.500 So that
00:47:13.980 part,
00:47:14.620 I'm not
00:47:15.440 quite buying
00:47:15.980 that it
00:47:16.680 was a
00:47:17.020 plot.
00:47:18.400 But you
00:47:18.980 can buy
00:47:19.380 that it
00:47:19.740 happened.
00:47:21.120 You can
00:47:21.640 simply
00:47:22.040 observe
00:47:22.500 that the
00:47:23.680 movement
00:47:23.980 against
00:47:24.420 Occupy
00:47:24.980 Wall
00:47:25.220 Street
00:47:25.480 disappeared
00:47:26.460 at about
00:47:27.400 the same
00:47:27.860 time that
00:47:28.300 the word
00:47:28.700 racism
00:47:29.200 took off
00:47:30.340 in mentions
00:47:31.020 in the
00:47:31.380 media.
00:47:32.420 Now,
00:47:32.600 there were
00:47:32.800 also events.
00:47:33.840 There was
00:47:34.240 a George
00:47:34.620 Floyd event,
00:47:35.540 other tragic
00:47:36.200 events,
00:47:36.900 so there
00:47:37.220 were reasons.
00:47:38.760 But were
00:47:39.680 all of those
00:47:40.460 reasons present
00:47:41.400 in 2011?
00:47:42.320 Did the
00:47:44.240 country become
00:47:45.000 more bad
00:47:47.320 racist since
00:47:49.140 2011?
00:47:50.360 I don't
00:47:50.920 think so.
00:47:51.820 I feel like
00:47:52.460 we probably
00:47:52.880 got less
00:47:53.940 racist,
00:47:54.820 just like
00:47:55.920 every single
00:47:56.960 year of the
00:47:57.680 United States.
00:47:59.140 Probably
00:47:59.720 every year
00:48:00.460 of the
00:48:00.740 Republic,
00:48:01.800 people on
00:48:02.960 average have
00:48:03.560 gotten a
00:48:04.060 little less
00:48:04.620 racist.
00:48:05.520 It feels
00:48:05.840 like it to
00:48:06.220 me.
00:48:07.220 Maybe any
00:48:07.980 given year
00:48:08.660 might be
00:48:09.180 different,
00:48:09.540 but over
00:48:09.840 time.
00:48:11.120 So wouldn't
00:48:11.560 you say
00:48:11.960 that racism
00:48:12.540 is probably
00:48:13.680 somewhat
00:48:15.900 less than
00:48:17.580 it was in
00:48:17.980 2011 when
00:48:18.940 apparently that
00:48:19.920 wasn't even a
00:48:20.480 big issue
00:48:20.920 relative to
00:48:22.540 the Occupy
00:48:23.380 Wall Street
00:48:23.780 issue being
00:48:24.320 bigger.
00:48:24.620 in other
00:48:27.840 news,
00:48:28.540 there's a
00:48:30.180 flight,
00:48:30.780 American
00:48:31.140 Airlines
00:48:31.540 flight,
00:48:32.000 that reported
00:48:32.660 a UFO
00:48:33.680 sighting,
00:48:34.400 doesn't mean
00:48:35.400 it's an
00:48:35.860 alien ship,
00:48:37.000 just unidentified,
00:48:38.260 that looked like
00:48:39.080 a cruise missile
00:48:39.960 that just went
00:48:41.740 over their
00:48:42.060 plane.
00:48:43.840 Now,
00:48:44.400 do you believe
00:48:45.440 that there was
00:48:46.060 an unidentified
00:48:47.000 long tubular
00:48:49.120 object that went
00:48:50.040 right over an
00:48:50.680 airplane that
00:48:51.920 was not
00:48:52.640 known to
00:48:53.360 flight control?
00:48:56.000 And the way
00:48:56.500 they asked the
00:48:57.020 question was,
00:48:57.780 they said,
00:48:59.120 the pilot said,
00:49:01.280 do you have
00:49:03.860 any targets
00:49:04.620 up here?
00:49:05.700 Because he
00:49:06.120 thought a
00:49:06.540 missile just
00:49:07.080 went past
00:49:07.620 them at a
00:49:08.080 target.
00:49:08.600 And he was
00:49:08.880 wondering,
00:49:09.480 is there
00:49:10.740 anything in
00:49:11.340 the air
00:49:11.740 near me
00:49:12.340 that I need
00:49:13.520 to worry
00:49:13.900 about because
00:49:14.460 somebody shot
00:49:15.080 a missile
00:49:15.560 at it?
00:49:16.660 I'd be worried
00:49:17.540 about that.
00:49:19.160 Now,
00:49:19.400 of course,
00:49:19.700 we don't
00:49:19.960 know the
00:49:20.380 answer to
00:49:20.880 this.
00:49:21.900 We don't
00:49:22.360 know that
00:49:22.700 anything got
00:49:23.200 shot into
00:49:23.700 the air or
00:49:25.180 that any big
00:49:25.940 missiles landed
00:49:26.740 anywhere that
00:49:27.260 we don't know
00:49:27.700 about.
00:49:28.520 So it's just a
00:49:29.640 mystery.
00:49:30.240 That's all it
00:49:30.740 is.
00:49:31.300 If I had to
00:49:31.960 guess, I would
00:49:32.780 say they
00:49:33.620 didn't see
00:49:34.080 anything.
00:49:35.100 Maybe they
00:49:35.560 saw a shadow
00:49:36.180 of some kind.
00:49:36.940 I don't know.
00:49:37.740 So my guess is
00:49:38.580 they didn't see
00:49:39.060 anything, but
00:49:39.920 we'll find out.
00:49:41.440 There's a story
00:49:42.000 about a woman
00:49:42.680 who's a trophy
00:49:43.420 hunter getting
00:49:44.400 a lot of heat
00:49:45.060 for killing a
00:49:46.680 giraffe,
00:49:47.320 cutting on
00:49:48.740 its heart,
00:49:49.820 which is pretty
00:49:50.520 big, and
00:49:51.500 holding it up
00:49:52.160 for social
00:49:52.760 media.
00:49:54.080 Now, if that
00:49:54.520 wasn't bad
00:49:55.060 enough, apparently
00:49:56.840 this one woman
00:49:57.720 has killed over
00:49:58.680 500 big
00:49:59.980 animals, lions,
00:50:01.220 leopards,
00:50:01.840 elephants, etc.
00:50:03.400 500.
00:50:04.900 And she was
00:50:05.440 really, really
00:50:06.060 excited and
00:50:06.980 couldn't handle
00:50:08.360 herself when she
00:50:09.700 learned that she
00:50:10.340 could kill an
00:50:11.540 adult giraffe.
00:50:12.400 giraffe.
00:50:13.780 Now, I'm not
00:50:15.840 anti-hunting
00:50:16.780 per se.
00:50:18.940 You know, there
00:50:19.360 are some times
00:50:20.120 when it makes
00:50:20.520 sense.
00:50:21.260 And if she
00:50:23.040 had gone big
00:50:23.840 game hunting
00:50:24.500 once or twice,
00:50:25.940 I wouldn't
00:50:27.060 like it, but
00:50:29.580 I'd have a
00:50:30.700 different opinion
00:50:31.320 than if she
00:50:32.020 did it 500
00:50:32.780 times.
00:50:33.680 If you kill
00:50:34.700 500 big
00:50:35.840 animals, you're
00:50:37.240 just a serial
00:50:38.040 killer who
00:50:39.260 doesn't want to
00:50:39.860 get in trouble
00:50:40.320 with the law.
00:50:41.860 It feels like
00:50:42.840 that's just a
00:50:43.480 serial killer
00:50:44.180 vibe, doesn't
00:50:44.960 it?
00:50:47.140 I don't know.
00:50:49.940 But she's
00:50:50.900 pretty happy
00:50:51.340 with herself.
00:50:52.340 All right.
00:50:55.340 I also
00:50:56.060 wonder if she
00:50:56.580 owns a pet.
00:50:58.480 Imagine if you
00:50:59.300 had killed
00:50:59.740 500 mammals
00:51:01.060 for fun.
00:51:03.520 Does she
00:51:04.080 have a dog?
00:51:07.380 Does she?
00:51:08.340 Does she
00:51:08.640 have a dog?
00:51:09.220 Because that
00:51:09.980 dog would be
00:51:10.660 really nervous.
00:51:13.340 I mean, would
00:51:14.000 she ever look at
00:51:14.600 her dog and
00:51:15.200 think to
00:51:15.480 herself, I
00:51:16.900 love my dog,
00:51:17.820 but oh, man,
00:51:18.820 it would be
00:51:19.140 fun to kill
00:51:19.860 it.
00:51:20.740 I'd love to
00:51:21.280 just shoot my
00:51:22.200 dog.
00:51:23.360 If you've
00:51:24.040 killed 500
00:51:24.800 mammals, you
00:51:26.340 don't think she
00:51:27.020 fantasizes about
00:51:28.000 shooting her
00:51:28.640 own dog?
00:51:30.180 If she has
00:51:30.920 one.
00:51:31.520 Anyway, Biden
00:51:33.680 is allegedly, I
00:51:35.940 think we need
00:51:36.440 some confirmation
00:51:37.040 on this story
00:51:37.820 because I
00:51:38.500 saw it in
00:51:38.940 an Asian
00:51:39.860 publication,
00:51:40.700 but apparently
00:51:41.660 Biden is
00:51:43.420 considering an
00:51:44.160 executive order
00:51:45.080 to push
00:51:47.520 alternate supply
00:51:48.580 chains to
00:51:49.160 go around
00:51:49.740 China,
00:51:50.760 specifically for
00:51:51.800 tech stuff like
00:51:52.600 chips and
00:51:53.080 batteries and
00:51:53.660 rare earth
00:51:54.140 stuff.
00:51:55.960 Now, if
00:51:56.540 that's true,
00:51:57.780 that Biden
00:51:58.340 has an EO
00:51:59.220 coming in
00:52:00.480 which we're
00:52:01.020 going to build
00:52:01.840 out a
00:52:02.520 separate supply
00:52:04.820 chain that
00:52:05.580 doesn't involve
00:52:06.180 China, I
00:52:07.220 would be
00:52:07.580 giving Biden
00:52:08.260 a lot of
00:52:08.900 credit for
00:52:09.460 that.
00:52:10.200 Now, I
00:52:10.520 would think
00:52:10.840 that he
00:52:11.160 wouldn't do
00:52:11.720 it if
00:52:12.500 Trump had
00:52:13.240 not gotten
00:52:14.320 the ball
00:52:14.760 rolling in
00:52:15.640 turning the
00:52:16.440 opinion of
00:52:17.140 the United
00:52:17.500 States
00:52:17.820 citizens
00:52:18.360 against China.
00:52:20.580 If Trump
00:52:21.380 had not made
00:52:22.000 it possible
00:52:22.640 for Biden
00:52:23.240 to do
00:52:23.540 this, I
00:52:23.820 don't think
00:52:24.080 he could
00:52:24.420 have.
00:52:25.780 So if
00:52:26.420 this happens,
00:52:27.700 I will give
00:52:28.300 Biden credit
00:52:29.040 because that's
00:52:31.480 the rule,
00:52:32.000 right?
00:52:32.220 If something
00:52:32.680 good happens
00:52:33.340 under his
00:52:33.860 administration,
00:52:35.420 I'm going
00:52:35.760 to give
00:52:36.020 him credit,
00:52:36.720 but we
00:52:37.000 can put
00:52:37.360 an asterisk
00:52:37.940 next to
00:52:38.360 it and
00:52:38.520 say it
00:52:39.700 wouldn't
00:52:39.980 have happened
00:52:40.380 without
00:52:40.680 Trump,
00:52:41.600 but still
00:52:41.980 Biden has
00:52:42.480 to do
00:52:42.880 it, so
00:52:43.800 he gets
00:52:44.160 credit if
00:52:44.720 he does
00:52:45.020 it.
00:52:46.160 And this
00:52:46.760 would be
00:52:47.020 very important,
00:52:47.720 but I
00:52:47.900 don't know
00:52:48.140 if it's
00:52:48.380 true yet.
00:52:51.000 Apparently
00:52:51.440 Biden has
00:52:52.120 not declared
00:52:52.920 yet that
00:52:53.620 the Uyghur
00:52:55.220 situation in
00:52:56.040 China is a
00:52:56.760 genocide.
00:52:57.980 I guess
00:52:58.320 Trump made
00:52:59.040 that declaration
00:52:59.780 just before
00:53:00.480 he left to
00:53:01.680 sort of leave
00:53:02.400 it with Biden
00:53:03.000 as a problem.
00:53:03.860 And Biden,
00:53:05.320 he has not
00:53:08.100 decided to
00:53:08.780 do that.
00:53:10.000 Canada,
00:53:10.540 however,
00:53:11.220 the parliament
00:53:11.640 voted Monday
00:53:12.920 to pass a
00:53:13.480 non-binding
00:53:14.440 motion
00:53:15.020 classifying
00:53:16.920 China as
00:53:17.840 being involved
00:53:18.780 in a genocide.
00:53:20.220 So Canada,
00:53:21.500 good work.
00:53:23.600 United States,
00:53:25.400 look at
00:53:25.860 Canada.
00:53:27.120 Come on.
00:53:28.400 Biden,
00:53:29.140 Canada did
00:53:29.760 it.
00:53:30.240 You can do
00:53:30.800 it.
00:53:31.640 Do it.
00:53:32.540 Do it,
00:53:33.000 Joe.
00:53:33.520 Do it.
00:53:35.000 All right.
00:53:35.640 And I
00:53:35.900 remind you
00:53:36.440 that we
00:53:36.780 are in
00:53:37.040 a war
00:53:37.360 with China
00:53:37.960 and they're
00:53:39.220 killing 70,000
00:53:40.400 people a
00:53:40.920 year with
00:53:41.900 fentanyl,
00:53:42.620 which they
00:53:43.040 easily could
00:53:43.740 stop because
00:53:44.880 there's one
00:53:45.360 guy in
00:53:45.800 charge of
00:53:46.160 it.
00:53:47.080 We've
00:53:47.520 already told
00:53:48.040 them who
00:53:48.320 his name
00:53:48.700 is.
00:53:49.140 They know
00:53:49.440 where he
00:53:49.700 is.
00:53:50.860 He's still
00:53:51.320 doing it.
00:53:52.440 So China
00:53:52.920 has decided
00:53:53.880 explicitly to
00:53:55.440 send us
00:53:55.920 fentanyl and
00:53:56.820 kill us and
00:53:57.700 to not stop
00:53:58.500 it.
00:53:58.680 If we
00:54:00.980 sent them
00:54:01.460 some
00:54:01.740 fentanyl
00:54:02.220 their way,
00:54:02.820 it would
00:54:03.320 not be
00:54:04.100 inappropriate.
00:54:05.460 Probably not
00:54:06.060 a good idea,
00:54:07.020 but it would
00:54:07.660 not be
00:54:08.060 morally wrong
00:54:09.020 to fight
00:54:09.660 fire with
00:54:10.300 fire.
00:54:14.740 That's just
00:54:15.480 my opinion.
00:54:17.280 That's just
00:54:17.980 my opinion.
00:54:18.820 Somebody says,
00:54:19.440 where is
00:54:19.780 Jack Ma?
00:54:21.540 I don't
00:54:22.180 know.
00:54:22.780 He's got a
00:54:23.300 problem.
00:54:24.500 My next
00:54:25.260 segment is
00:54:26.100 called
00:54:26.300 Experts
00:54:26.860 Are Dumb.
00:54:29.760 I've been
00:54:30.640 having an
00:54:31.220 online
00:54:31.540 conversation
00:54:32.100 with a
00:54:32.460 number of
00:54:32.900 doctors and
00:54:33.780 ER doctors
00:54:34.560 and pediatricians
00:54:35.900 who are very
00:54:36.980 mad at me
00:54:37.540 for having
00:54:37.980 opinions.
00:54:39.260 Oh,
00:54:39.520 they're very
00:54:39.920 mad at me.
00:54:40.640 Because if
00:54:41.060 you've noticed,
00:54:41.900 I am not a
00:54:42.600 doctor.
00:54:43.680 Apparently,
00:54:44.380 you can't
00:54:44.700 have doctor
00:54:45.460 related opinions
00:54:46.540 if you're not
00:54:47.080 one because
00:54:47.600 they'll be
00:54:47.960 pretty mad
00:54:48.660 at you.
00:54:49.420 Pretty mad.
00:54:50.840 But here's
00:54:51.220 what I've
00:54:51.480 learned.
00:54:51.720 The whole
00:54:53.360 question about
00:54:54.560 the seasonal
00:54:55.340 flu, the
00:54:56.060 regular flu,
00:54:57.380 killing 50,000
00:54:58.520 people a year,
00:54:59.380 which I am
00:55:00.240 skeptical of,
00:55:02.320 I've been
00:55:03.720 learning more
00:55:04.180 about that.
00:55:05.020 And when I
00:55:06.680 hear that
00:55:07.260 children were
00:55:08.820 dying from
00:55:09.420 it, I had
00:55:10.980 some questions.
00:55:12.380 And here's
00:55:12.800 what I've
00:55:13.100 learned.
00:55:14.240 That even
00:55:15.860 if you don't
00:55:16.620 have an
00:55:18.620 underlying
00:55:19.300 problem that
00:55:20.140 has a name
00:55:20.780 to it,
00:55:21.720 the regular
00:55:23.080 flu can
00:55:23.640 kill you
00:55:24.040 if you're
00:55:24.460 a child
00:55:24.860 under
00:55:25.340 specific
00:55:27.360 conditions.
00:55:28.520 And I
00:55:28.700 guess the
00:55:29.060 specific
00:55:29.480 condition is
00:55:30.280 a high
00:55:31.200 viral load
00:55:32.200 with some
00:55:33.420 kind of
00:55:33.800 difference in
00:55:34.380 the architecture
00:55:35.120 of your
00:55:35.640 lungs that
00:55:36.380 would make
00:55:36.780 you somewhat
00:55:37.280 unique,
00:55:38.640 and maybe
00:55:39.300 something about
00:55:40.060 the immune
00:55:40.620 system not
00:55:41.240 being developed,
00:55:42.100 I don't know
00:55:42.540 about that.
00:55:43.640 But that
00:55:44.540 there's
00:55:44.800 something
00:55:45.140 different about
00:55:46.060 the children
00:55:46.700 who die
00:55:47.260 from the
00:55:47.640 flu,
00:55:48.520 both in
00:55:49.440 exposure level
00:55:50.400 and architecture
00:55:51.820 of the
00:55:52.360 lungs.
00:55:53.580 Now,
00:55:54.780 that sort
00:55:55.280 of opens
00:55:55.860 up the
00:55:56.440 question of
00:55:57.000 what it
00:55:57.260 means to
00:55:57.700 be healthy.
00:55:59.140 What's the
00:55:59.580 definition?
00:56:00.900 Would that
00:56:01.360 be a
00:56:01.620 definition of
00:56:02.260 a healthy
00:56:02.800 child dying
00:56:04.460 from the
00:56:05.620 virus when
00:56:07.160 99.9% of
00:56:08.720 children don't
00:56:09.520 and don't
00:56:10.120 even get
00:56:10.520 close to
00:56:10.960 death?
00:56:12.120 So would
00:56:13.100 you say that
00:56:13.620 that's a
00:56:14.020 healthy child
00:56:14.700 when they
00:56:16.040 can't survive
00:56:16.840 the environment
00:56:17.900 that they
00:56:18.660 are meant
00:56:19.000 to be
00:56:19.300 in?
00:56:20.400 So if
00:56:21.480 you say
00:56:21.900 yes,
00:56:22.540 that kid
00:56:22.900 is completely
00:56:23.460 healthy,
00:56:24.020 because if
00:56:24.360 they didn't
00:56:24.740 have access
00:56:25.260 to this
00:56:25.720 virus,
00:56:27.000 they'd be
00:56:27.380 fine.
00:56:28.820 But what
00:56:29.400 would you
00:56:29.680 say about
00:56:30.020 a bubble
00:56:30.400 boy?
00:56:31.380 Somebody who,
00:56:32.240 if they
00:56:32.460 left their
00:56:32.900 bubble,
00:56:33.700 almost any
00:56:34.380 kind of
00:56:34.700 infection
00:56:35.080 would kill
00:56:35.500 them.
00:56:36.180 When they're
00:56:36.740 inside the
00:56:37.320 bubble,
00:56:37.680 do you call
00:56:38.040 them healthy?
00:56:39.940 Because they
00:56:40.560 are.
00:56:41.040 They could
00:56:41.420 live out
00:56:41.760 their whole
00:56:42.100 life without
00:56:43.760 a physical
00:56:45.560 problem if
00:56:46.460 they don't
00:56:46.800 get infected.
00:56:47.900 So is that
00:56:48.780 person healthy?
00:56:50.200 See, you can
00:56:50.800 see how the
00:56:51.480 definition of
00:56:52.420 what healthy
00:56:52.960 means is
00:56:54.560 driving the
00:56:55.340 discussion.
00:56:55.940 It's not about
00:56:56.540 what's happening,
00:56:58.000 it's about what
00:56:58.740 you insist is the
00:56:59.780 word you're going
00:57:00.380 to use.
00:57:01.100 That's word
00:57:01.660 thinking, I
00:57:02.300 call it.
00:57:03.320 It's people who
00:57:04.180 think they're
00:57:04.700 arguing, but
00:57:05.600 they're really
00:57:05.960 trying to hold
00:57:06.900 on to a
00:57:07.340 definition, or
00:57:08.780 win by defining
00:57:09.840 the word the
00:57:10.780 way that works
00:57:11.340 for them.
00:57:12.180 Here's my
00:57:12.740 definition of
00:57:13.400 healthy.
00:57:14.560 It's different
00:57:15.400 from the
00:57:15.900 medical definition.
00:57:16.840 It's more of a
00:57:17.540 common sense
00:57:18.140 definition.
00:57:18.860 It goes like
00:57:19.380 this.
00:57:20.280 If you are not
00:57:21.160 capable of
00:57:22.000 surviving the
00:57:24.120 environment for
00:57:25.060 which you are
00:57:25.720 naturally, you
00:57:27.240 know, you're
00:57:27.860 born into, such
00:57:29.700 as just living in
00:57:30.980 the atmosphere, I
00:57:33.440 don't know that I
00:57:34.000 would call that
00:57:34.460 healthy.
00:57:35.480 I would call that
00:57:36.200 somebody who has a
00:57:37.300 major health
00:57:37.980 problem, because
00:57:39.320 the normal
00:57:40.160 environment, operating
00:57:41.980 just the way you
00:57:42.760 think it will, will
00:57:44.300 kill them, but it
00:57:46.020 wouldn't kill 99.9%
00:57:47.700 of people who had
00:57:48.320 exactly the same
00:57:49.120 exposure.
00:57:50.340 I would call that
00:57:51.340 unhealthy, by
00:57:53.040 definition.
00:57:54.200 But, in a
00:57:55.220 medical sense, if
00:57:56.420 they have not been
00:57:57.000 exposed to the
00:57:57.840 thing that's going
00:57:58.380 to hurt them,
00:57:59.460 doctors are going
00:58:00.260 to say, no, that's
00:58:00.880 perfectly healthy, it's
00:58:01.780 the virus that killed
00:58:03.020 them.
00:58:04.840 That's kind of a
00:58:05.720 definitional problem,
00:58:06.920 isn't it?
00:58:07.660 Aren't we both
00:58:08.380 talking about the
00:58:09.180 same thing?
00:58:10.340 That you need the
00:58:11.060 virus, but you also
00:58:12.520 need the person to
00:58:13.480 have a specific
00:58:14.300 situation going
00:58:15.460 on.
00:58:17.100 And if you call
00:58:18.020 that specific
00:58:18.860 situation perfectly
00:58:20.160 healthy, it just
00:58:21.280 happens to cause you
00:58:22.340 to die if it comes
00:58:23.240 in contact with
00:58:24.480 something that is
00:58:25.160 commonly in your
00:58:26.100 environment, I'm
00:58:28.660 not sure I would
00:58:29.320 call that healthy.
00:58:31.520 So, I don't know
00:58:33.100 that there's a
00:58:33.660 disagreement about
00:58:34.620 that, other than
00:58:35.620 what word you want
00:58:36.620 to use for it.
00:58:37.760 But, on top of
00:58:38.680 that is the
00:58:39.280 question of why
00:58:40.220 we don't hear about
00:58:42.200 people dying of
00:58:43.700 the regular flu when
00:58:45.560 they're allegedly
00:58:46.400 dying in the same
00:58:47.420 numbers as people
00:58:48.960 who die from car
00:58:50.780 accidents and
00:58:51.540 overdoses, and we
00:58:52.400 hear about them all
00:58:53.020 the time.
00:58:53.840 We personally know
00:58:54.840 people who have
00:58:55.300 died from those
00:58:55.920 other things.
00:58:56.960 Almost every adult
00:58:57.760 does.
00:58:58.900 But I don't know
00:58:59.580 anybody who died
00:59:00.220 in regular flu.
00:59:02.380 So, then somebody
00:59:05.780 on social media
00:59:06.740 said, Scott, you're
00:59:08.420 finally on our side
00:59:09.360 now.
00:59:10.060 We've been saying
00:59:10.800 the same thing
00:59:11.580 about coronavirus,
00:59:13.420 that the way it's
00:59:14.580 counted is probably
00:59:15.400 wrong.
00:59:16.320 To which I say,
00:59:17.500 boop, boop, wait
00:59:18.660 a minute.
00:59:19.840 No, I'm making
00:59:20.880 the opposite
00:59:21.660 point.
00:59:23.380 Completely opposite
00:59:24.360 point.
00:59:25.400 If you think that
00:59:26.500 me questioning the
00:59:27.740 statistics of
00:59:28.740 regular seasonal
00:59:30.020 flu is sort of
00:59:31.880 the same argument
00:59:32.720 as the people who
00:59:34.120 are questioning the
00:59:34.840 number of people
00:59:35.400 dying from
00:59:36.080 coronavirus, you
00:59:37.260 have 100%
00:59:38.020 backwards.
00:59:39.540 They're opposites.
00:59:41.680 The question is,
00:59:43.120 why does my
00:59:43.700 observation as
00:59:44.960 just living in the
00:59:45.780 world not agree
00:59:47.400 with the science?
00:59:49.000 In the case of
00:59:49.900 the normal flu,
00:59:51.200 there's a
00:59:51.820 disagreement.
00:59:52.580 My observation is
00:59:53.760 I haven't seen
00:59:54.360 anybody die of
00:59:55.080 regular flu.
00:59:56.600 Now, I'm not
00:59:57.340 saying that children
00:59:57.960 haven't died.
00:59:58.800 There are enough
00:59:59.180 reports that that's
00:59:59.980 obviously true.
01:00:01.340 But, how come I
01:00:04.360 have so many
01:00:05.080 examples of COVID?
01:00:07.700 I observe people
01:00:08.760 I know who know
01:00:09.600 other people, etc.
01:00:10.380 who have really
01:00:11.380 died of COVID,
01:00:12.440 and there are
01:00:12.940 half a million
01:00:13.480 of them.
01:00:14.420 In the case of
01:00:15.240 COVID, the science
01:00:16.200 says a whole bunch
01:00:17.160 of people are
01:00:17.620 dying.
01:00:18.820 My observation is
01:00:20.520 that a whole bunch
01:00:21.480 of people are
01:00:21.940 dying.
01:00:22.760 Completely
01:00:23.200 compatible.
01:00:24.840 Observation and
01:00:26.320 scientific opinion
01:00:27.440 totally match.
01:00:29.580 Now, that doesn't
01:00:30.220 mean they're both
01:00:30.740 right, but at least
01:00:32.320 they match.
01:00:33.520 In the regular
01:00:34.480 flu deaths, my
01:00:35.840 observation is
01:00:36.780 nowhere near the
01:00:38.380 scientific opinion.
01:00:40.340 That's the problem.
01:00:42.040 I'm not making a
01:00:42.880 statement about
01:00:44.080 what the answer is
01:00:45.400 to unravel that.
01:00:46.760 It's a question.
01:00:47.660 It's a legitimate
01:00:48.540 question, meaning I
01:00:50.120 don't have the answer
01:00:51.040 and I'm not telling
01:00:52.460 you that the question
01:00:53.580 tells you what to
01:00:55.120 think about the
01:00:56.060 answer.
01:00:57.040 If you jump to a
01:00:58.620 conclusion because I
01:00:59.720 ask a question,
01:01:01.000 that's sort of on you
01:01:02.080 because I'm not
01:01:03.420 jumping to any
01:01:04.000 conclusions.
01:01:04.420 I actually don't
01:01:05.560 know why this
01:01:07.320 mystery endures,
01:01:08.580 that the observation
01:01:09.880 and the science
01:01:10.640 don't match.
01:01:13.720 All right, so
01:01:14.620 let's see, what
01:01:19.020 else have we got
01:01:19.520 here?
01:01:20.380 Let me ask you this
01:01:21.220 question just to make
01:01:22.120 it more provocative.
01:01:25.180 If somebody has an
01:01:26.560 allergy to peanuts,
01:01:28.700 allergy to peanuts,
01:01:31.080 and they go forth in
01:01:32.740 the world and they
01:01:33.500 encounter some
01:01:34.260 peanuts and they
01:01:35.540 die, what does the
01:01:37.960 death certificate say
01:01:39.500 if you are allergic
01:01:41.900 to peanuts, you're
01:01:42.820 exposed to them and
01:01:43.560 then you die?
01:01:45.960 Would the death
01:01:47.540 certificate say killed
01:01:49.420 by peanuts?
01:01:51.240 What do you think?
01:01:52.580 Would the death
01:01:53.140 certificate say that?
01:01:54.380 Killed by peanuts.
01:01:55.900 Cause of death?
01:01:57.420 Peanuts.
01:01:59.480 No.
01:02:00.040 No.
01:02:01.380 No.
01:02:02.360 But if you got exposed
01:02:04.000 to the virus, let's
01:02:05.560 say the regular
01:02:06.160 seasonal virus, the
01:02:07.700 cause of death would
01:02:08.520 be the virus.
01:02:10.680 But why isn't the
01:02:11.800 cause of death with
01:02:12.720 the peanut the
01:02:14.300 peanut?
01:02:18.100 And the answer to
01:02:20.480 what the death
01:02:21.980 certificate says is
01:02:23.120 anaphylexic, if I'm
01:02:25.180 saying it right,
01:02:25.840 anaphylactic shock,
01:02:27.360 right?
01:02:27.580 That's what the death
01:02:28.280 death certificate would
01:02:28.960 say.
01:02:29.800 Now, you need both
01:02:31.880 the person to have a
01:02:33.580 biological genetic
01:02:36.200 propensity and that
01:02:38.580 you also need the
01:02:39.520 peanut.
01:02:40.400 If you only have one
01:02:41.860 or the other, the
01:02:42.720 person is alive.
01:02:44.520 Both situations.
01:02:46.080 Gotta have a peanut.
01:02:47.660 Gotta have a natural
01:02:49.100 reaction to it.
01:02:52.640 How's that different
01:02:53.580 from the virus?
01:02:54.360 If you only have the
01:02:56.680 virus and 99.9% of
01:03:00.460 the people, let's say
01:03:01.280 the seasonal virus, not
01:03:02.760 the coronavirus.
01:03:03.880 If you only have the
01:03:04.800 seasonal virus and your
01:03:06.900 body is like 99.9% of
01:03:09.240 all other bodies, no
01:03:11.340 problem.
01:03:12.700 It's only when you have
01:03:13.600 both situations, a
01:03:15.040 virus plus a body that
01:03:17.820 by its design or nature
01:03:20.780 can't handle it.
01:03:22.140 So, in one case, you
01:03:24.320 say the cause of death
01:03:25.320 is the virus.
01:03:26.400 In the other case, you
01:03:27.460 say it's the reaction to
01:03:29.300 the virus based on peanut
01:03:31.400 plus whatever you
01:03:32.760 naturally have going on.
01:03:34.520 You see that they're
01:03:35.380 handled differently,
01:03:36.300 right?
01:03:37.180 Now, my only point is
01:03:39.420 we're talking about
01:03:40.440 definitions of words.
01:03:42.780 It's not, maybe, not a
01:03:45.720 real argument.
01:03:46.340 All right.
01:03:50.280 Analogy.
01:03:51.540 Now, an analogy, an
01:03:54.680 analogy can help you
01:03:56.020 understand a concept, which
01:03:58.660 is what I just did.
01:04:00.060 It doesn't help you win
01:04:01.600 an argument.
01:04:02.960 So, it would not be
01:04:04.240 true that, therefore,
01:04:05.960 peanuts are handled this
01:04:06.940 way.
01:04:07.240 Therefore, I'm right about
01:04:08.320 viruses.
01:04:09.140 That would be irrational
01:04:10.220 because it's just two
01:04:11.520 different situations.
01:04:12.380 But, if the peanut thing
01:04:14.840 makes you ask the
01:04:15.760 question, hey, if you
01:04:18.040 need two things, the
01:04:20.280 peanut and the person
01:04:21.820 being in a special
01:04:22.680 situation, it helps you
01:04:25.620 think differently about
01:04:26.700 the other one.
01:04:27.540 So, helping you think
01:04:28.420 differently is what it
01:04:29.280 does.
01:04:29.700 It doesn't, it's not
01:04:30.580 like a reason.
01:04:32.500 So, that's the
01:04:34.520 difference.
01:04:35.760 Why doesn't pointing
01:04:36.880 out hypocrisy work?
01:04:38.620 I don't know the answer
01:04:39.620 to that, except I'll
01:04:41.420 speculate.
01:04:42.380 And, I've said
01:04:43.300 forever that pointing
01:04:44.460 out somebody's
01:04:45.200 hypocrisy never makes
01:04:46.600 them change their
01:04:47.240 mind.
01:04:48.180 And, the reason is
01:04:49.300 they know they're
01:04:49.880 doing it.
01:04:51.020 So, the people who
01:04:52.100 are being hypocritical,
01:04:53.940 they know they're
01:04:54.600 being hypocritical.
01:04:55.900 They're doing it
01:04:56.660 because they're taking
01:04:57.560 a side.
01:04:58.420 They're on a team.
01:04:59.660 So, if you point
01:05:00.620 out to somebody, hey,
01:05:02.280 you're being
01:05:03.020 hypocritical, you're
01:05:04.820 not telling them
01:05:05.460 something they don't
01:05:06.200 know.
01:05:07.340 You have not
01:05:08.360 introduced new
01:05:09.480 information.
01:05:11.020 They're never
01:05:11.820 meant to be
01:05:12.540 serious.
01:05:13.600 They're just
01:05:14.400 making an argument
01:05:16.100 because they think
01:05:16.880 it might work.
01:05:18.440 That's all.
01:05:19.540 That's all.
01:05:21.020 So, yeah, hypocrisy,
01:05:22.860 pointing it out, will
01:05:23.620 never change anybody's
01:05:24.580 opinion.
01:05:25.040 I've never seen it.
01:05:25.920 Have you?
01:05:26.800 Have you ever seen
01:05:27.480 anybody change their
01:05:28.280 opinion because somebody
01:05:29.260 said, hey, you're a
01:05:30.000 hypocrite?
01:05:30.640 And then the person
01:05:31.460 says, oh, yeah.
01:05:32.860 Yeah, yeah, I hadn't
01:05:35.140 really looked at it
01:05:35.840 that way, but now
01:05:37.320 that you mentioned
01:05:37.880 it, I'm a hypocrite.
01:05:39.860 I changed my mind.
01:05:41.740 I think I'll not be
01:05:42.620 a hypocrite.
01:05:43.220 No.
01:05:44.180 They will immediately
01:05:44.960 tell you the situations
01:05:46.160 are different.
01:05:47.400 That's it.
01:05:48.580 They'll just say, ah,
01:05:49.220 it's a different
01:05:49.600 situation.
01:05:50.260 I'm not a hypocrite.
01:05:52.700 Did the butter kill
01:05:53.500 the man with the
01:05:54.640 heart attack?
01:05:57.180 Butter's good for you.
01:05:58.180 You have to use a
01:05:58.780 better example.
01:05:59.340 We used to think
01:06:02.280 butter was bad, but
01:06:03.440 we learned it is not.
01:06:05.000 I believe that's the
01:06:05.880 current, the current
01:06:06.980 science is that butter
01:06:08.540 is not bad for you.
01:06:14.220 All right.
01:06:16.780 Like eating meat, but
01:06:18.080 being against killing
01:06:19.020 giraffes is hypocrisy.
01:06:21.420 Yeah, so I don't eat
01:06:22.600 meat, so I can say
01:06:23.980 anything I want about
01:06:24.800 giraffes.
01:06:25.220 But I don't think that
01:06:26.600 the game hunting and
01:06:29.160 big game hunting and
01:06:30.640 killing animals for
01:06:32.240 food, that is not
01:06:34.560 the same thing.
01:06:37.260 Yeah.
01:06:37.900 I could certainly
01:06:38.720 understand that you
01:06:39.720 have to kill something
01:06:41.600 to eat.
01:06:42.900 That's different.
01:06:48.320 No meat for you?
01:06:49.680 Why?
01:06:50.240 The only reason I
01:06:50.900 don't eat meat is
01:06:52.320 because I don't digest
01:06:53.480 it well.
01:06:54.780 I do eat some fish,
01:06:56.180 but I don't love it.
01:06:57.080 I just do it for the
01:06:57.880 health benefits.
01:07:00.020 All right.
01:07:01.720 Somebody says,
01:07:02.720 big game hunting
01:07:03.540 supports big game.
01:07:04.820 Well, the experts,
01:07:05.900 based on reading about
01:07:07.720 it this morning,
01:07:09.200 a lot of experts are
01:07:10.380 saying that that is a
01:07:11.560 ridiculous argument
01:07:12.980 and that big game
01:07:14.160 hunting does not
01:07:15.160 support big game.
01:07:17.200 There's an argument
01:07:18.100 that it does,
01:07:19.240 but smart people say
01:07:20.560 that's a ridiculous
01:07:21.200 argument.
01:07:22.900 I don't know who's
01:07:23.840 right, but it doesn't
01:07:25.000 sound like a good
01:07:25.820 argument to me.
01:07:26.580 somebody says,
01:07:30.480 let's see,
01:07:31.640 Robo Steve says,
01:07:32.880 Scott,
01:07:33.360 tying himself in
01:07:34.200 knots,
01:07:34.680 trying to defend
01:07:35.460 his nonsense.
01:07:36.720 Is that a reason?
01:07:38.500 Is that a good
01:07:39.540 comment right there?
01:07:41.920 Tying myself in
01:07:42.960 knots,
01:07:43.700 trying to defend
01:07:44.380 my reasons.
01:07:45.560 Let me tell you,
01:07:46.560 if you think,
01:07:48.920 let me ask the rest
01:07:50.280 of you here.
01:07:51.420 Many of you disagree
01:07:52.400 with me on lots
01:07:53.940 of different things,
01:07:55.080 which is part of the
01:07:56.140 fun of coming here,
01:07:57.260 right?
01:07:57.500 If you agreed with me
01:07:58.720 all the time,
01:07:59.220 I don't know,
01:07:59.580 it would be as much
01:08:00.200 fun.
01:08:01.200 But would you say,
01:08:03.420 for the benefit of
01:08:04.540 Steve here,
01:08:05.760 that even when you
01:08:07.040 disagree with me,
01:08:08.580 am I irrational
01:08:09.680 often?
01:08:11.040 Are my arguments
01:08:12.180 unreasonable?
01:08:14.680 Even when you
01:08:15.440 disagree with me,
01:08:16.900 don't you think that
01:08:17.880 at least the arguments
01:08:19.080 got some merit?
01:08:19.940 I mean,
01:08:20.340 you might think
01:08:20.760 I have a fact
01:08:21.460 wrong,
01:08:22.080 or maybe you
01:08:22.980 think I haven't
01:08:24.020 considered everything.
01:08:26.120 But do you think
01:08:26.740 my arguments
01:08:27.680 are twisted
01:08:28.780 in pretzels?
01:08:33.540 It's hard to know
01:08:34.520 based on the comments
01:08:35.400 whether people
01:08:35.980 just agree with me
01:08:37.080 and so therefore
01:08:38.060 I look brilliant.
01:08:39.360 If you agree
01:08:40.340 with somebody,
01:08:40.980 they look brilliant
01:08:41.720 in general.
01:08:43.420 Yeah,
01:08:43.740 I would like to
01:08:44.440 suggest that
01:08:45.440 whoever says
01:08:46.060 I'm tying myself
01:08:47.100 in pretzels
01:08:48.500 with my argument
01:08:49.440 I'm not saying
01:08:51.380 I'm right all
01:08:52.060 the time
01:08:52.480 or anything
01:08:53.400 like that.
01:08:54.580 But I don't
01:08:55.280 think you'll find
01:08:55.920 the arguments
01:08:56.480 are too irrational.
01:08:57.900 And when they
01:08:58.320 are,
01:08:58.640 people point it
01:08:59.240 out and
01:08:59.700 sometimes I
01:09:00.400 adjust.
01:09:02.060 All right.
01:09:06.580 Somebody says,
01:09:07.500 sometimes you can
01:09:08.200 say,
01:09:08.560 maybe I got that
01:09:09.320 wrong though.
01:09:10.000 That flu thing
01:09:10.860 was like a pretzel.
01:09:12.460 Well,
01:09:12.700 give me an example.
01:09:13.380 See,
01:09:14.700 here's my contention
01:09:15.980 that those of you
01:09:17.240 who are having
01:09:17.880 the,
01:09:18.920 and whoever says
01:09:19.800 sophistry as well,
01:09:21.260 those of you who
01:09:21.980 say that's sophistry
01:09:22.940 or you're twisted
01:09:24.860 in pretzels,
01:09:26.160 my observation
01:09:27.340 of living life
01:09:28.740 and being a
01:09:29.800 trained hypnotist
01:09:30.700 is that those
01:09:31.640 people are experiencing
01:09:32.860 cognitive dissonance.
01:09:35.060 And that's what it,
01:09:35.900 exactly what it
01:09:36.700 feels like.
01:09:37.740 So if your,
01:09:38.640 if your take
01:09:41.340 on my argument
01:09:42.160 was,
01:09:43.040 well,
01:09:43.280 I understand
01:09:43.820 your argument,
01:09:44.660 Scott,
01:09:45.280 but I disagree
01:09:46.340 with it because
01:09:47.320 of this reason
01:09:48.400 or this fact
01:09:49.340 or this priority,
01:09:51.900 you probably
01:09:52.620 are not experiencing
01:09:53.680 cognitive dissonance.
01:09:55.220 You're a person
01:09:55.780 with a different
01:09:56.300 opinion.
01:09:57.680 If you listen
01:09:58.880 to my opinion
01:09:59.600 on the regular
01:10:00.500 flu stuff
01:10:01.180 and you concluded
01:10:02.360 that it didn't
01:10:02.920 make sense,
01:10:04.600 that it was all
01:10:05.120 like pretzely
01:10:05.920 and sophistry,
01:10:07.340 you are almost
01:10:09.540 certainly experiencing
01:10:10.580 cognitive dissonance.
01:10:12.260 And the reason
01:10:12.640 I point that out
01:10:13.500 is look at
01:10:14.540 the other people's
01:10:15.460 comments.
01:10:16.620 When you see,
01:10:17.560 let's say,
01:10:18.400 I'll just pick a number
01:10:19.360 for arguments,
01:10:20.180 75% of the people
01:10:21.580 say,
01:10:22.420 I completely
01:10:23.000 understand your
01:10:23.820 argument,
01:10:25.020 even if I don't
01:10:25.780 agree with it.
01:10:26.760 And then 25%
01:10:28.060 say,
01:10:29.080 I think your
01:10:29.760 argument is
01:10:30.400 pretzel logic
01:10:31.460 and sophistry.
01:10:33.620 Almost always
01:10:34.580 you can depend
01:10:35.280 on those people
01:10:36.240 being the
01:10:36.660 cognitive dissonance
01:10:37.340 dissonance ones
01:10:38.340 and the people
01:10:39.360 who say,
01:10:39.900 I see the
01:10:40.340 argument but
01:10:41.060 sometimes I
01:10:41.760 disagree with it,
01:10:42.500 this reason or
01:10:43.340 that.
01:10:44.220 Probably just
01:10:44.860 different opinions.
01:10:46.740 Alright.
01:10:47.540 So,
01:10:48.160 that's all I
01:10:48.720 got for you.
01:10:50.260 And now,
01:10:51.720 I take my
01:10:52.860 leave and I
01:10:53.500 will talk to you
01:10:53.920 tomorrow.
01:10:54.820 Bye for now.
01:10:56.820 Alright,
01:10:57.460 YouTubers,
01:10:58.140 I've got an
01:10:58.400 extra minute.
01:10:59.180 By the way,
01:10:59.620 on YouTube,
01:11:00.380 I'll just
01:11:01.880 tell you guys,
01:11:03.000 I created
01:11:03.540 yesterday on
01:11:04.380 the Locals
01:11:05.340 platform,
01:11:06.520 subscription
01:11:07.040 service,
01:11:08.200 a lesson on
01:11:09.300 how to become
01:11:09.780 a cartoonist.
01:11:11.000 Now,
01:11:11.280 separately,
01:11:11.820 I'll do a
01:11:12.160 lesson on
01:11:12.560 how to draw
01:11:13.200 a cartoon,
01:11:14.180 but the
01:11:14.660 business side
01:11:15.760 and what tools
01:11:16.460 to use and
01:11:17.080 how to think
01:11:17.560 about it and
01:11:18.100 how to break
01:11:18.540 into the
01:11:18.880 business and
01:11:19.560 sort of the
01:11:20.580 general setup
01:11:21.680 of how someone
01:11:23.120 would become a
01:11:23.820 cartoonist is
01:11:24.940 now on the
01:11:25.580 Locals platform,
01:11:27.260 Locals.com,
01:11:28.160 just search for
01:11:28.720 my name.
01:11:29.840 And the
01:11:31.440 reason I did
01:11:32.020 it is not
01:11:32.500 because I think
01:11:33.100 a lot of
01:11:33.500 people want
01:11:33.920 to become
01:11:34.280 cartoonists.
01:11:35.920 What you'll
01:11:36.540 find is a
01:11:37.060 whole lot of
01:11:37.560 non-obvious
01:11:38.720 suggestions,
01:11:40.760 which I think
01:11:41.300 you'll find
01:11:41.760 interesting,
01:11:43.300 just the
01:11:43.680 non-obvious
01:11:44.240 ones.
01:11:45.000 And it'll
01:11:45.720 also give
01:11:46.140 you an idea
01:11:46.620 about breaking
01:11:47.460 into any
01:11:48.200 kind of field
01:11:48.860 that is
01:11:49.800 unfamiliar.
01:11:51.600 So if you
01:11:52.200 look at the
01:11:52.640 concepts that
01:11:54.220 I talk about
01:11:54.880 with cartooning,
01:11:55.860 really?
01:11:56.040 Richard McCarthy,
01:11:59.660 did you really
01:12:00.160 just send me
01:12:00.600 $100?
01:12:02.040 You're a
01:12:02.840 saint.
01:12:05.020 You know,
01:12:05.700 I have to
01:12:06.240 say that it's
01:12:08.120 weird.
01:12:08.640 No, it would
01:12:09.640 not be telling
01:12:10.220 you something
01:12:10.600 you don't know
01:12:11.280 that I'm rich.
01:12:13.920 The Dilbert
01:12:14.600 cartoon did a
01:12:16.140 good job for
01:12:16.700 me.
01:12:17.640 And I don't
01:12:18.480 do this because
01:12:20.060 of the money,
01:12:21.400 right?
01:12:21.740 But I do
01:12:22.140 monetize.
01:12:23.060 I do monetize.
01:12:24.040 And that does
01:12:25.120 make me work
01:12:25.760 harder.
01:12:26.380 I'm pretty
01:12:26.700 sure that I
01:12:27.180 do more
01:12:27.560 work because
01:12:29.080 it's monetized.
01:12:30.040 Actually, I'm
01:12:30.700 positive.
01:12:31.340 There's no
01:12:31.700 doubt about
01:12:32.140 it.
01:12:32.700 I do way
01:12:33.480 more effort
01:12:34.240 and put
01:12:35.040 more into
01:12:35.600 it because
01:12:36.680 it's monetized
01:12:37.600 even if I
01:12:38.180 don't need
01:12:38.520 the money.
01:12:39.620 So when
01:12:41.920 I just saw
01:12:43.700 that notice
01:12:44.600 come in
01:12:45.040 that somebody
01:12:45.540 just gave
01:12:46.320 me $100.
01:12:47.480 I don't
01:12:48.080 know why
01:12:48.580 exactly,
01:12:49.240 but I did
01:12:49.740 something that
01:12:50.640 somebody said
01:12:51.440 that's worth
01:12:52.620 $100.
01:12:53.820 And I got
01:12:54.560 to say that
01:12:55.540 while I
01:12:55.900 don't need
01:12:56.360 $100
01:12:56.740 that you
01:12:58.300 made my
01:12:58.920 day because
01:13:00.460 I just
01:13:01.200 feel like a
01:13:01.880 compliment.
01:13:03.260 But a
01:13:04.520 compliment with
01:13:05.260 money, that's
01:13:07.100 a real
01:13:07.360 compliment.
01:13:08.480 You don't
01:13:09.040 have to
01:13:09.380 wonder if
01:13:09.800 it's
01:13:09.980 insincere.
01:13:10.960 It's $100.
01:13:12.100 That's
01:13:12.480 sincere.
01:13:13.400 So thank
01:13:14.020 you for
01:13:14.280 that.
01:13:14.500 That actually
01:13:15.060 moved me
01:13:16.480 because it's
01:13:18.440 just a vote
01:13:19.300 of confidence
01:13:19.800 and I
01:13:20.180 appreciate it.
01:13:20.740 I appreciate
01:13:21.760 it very
01:13:22.220 much.
01:13:22.880 And I'm
01:13:23.060 going to
01:13:23.220 end on
01:13:23.540 that happy
01:13:24.500 note.
01:13:24.860 So thank
01:13:25.200 you.
