Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1299 Scott Adams： Trump Rises Again, Let's Annex Mexico, Republicans Self-Immolating at CPAC

00:00:00.000 La-da-da-da!

00:00:01.800 Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum.

00:00:06.040 Hey, everybody!

00:00:07.420 Come on in, come on in.

00:00:10.980 It's the first time I've talked this morning.

00:00:13.480 I think I like it.

00:00:15.620 This is going to be one of the best...

00:00:18.180 Yeah, it really is.

00:00:19.960 You think I'm exaggerating?

00:00:21.340 No.

00:00:22.240 One of the best coffees with Scott Adams

00:00:24.680 of the entire day.

00:00:27.280 And if you want to enjoy it,

00:00:28.960 it's to its maximum potential.

00:00:32.320 And why would you settle for anything less, really?

00:00:34.840 All you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or gel,

00:00:37.360 just a tiny canteen jug or flask of a vessel of any kind.

00:00:40.500 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:41.560 I like coffee.

00:00:43.920 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:00:47.400 the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:49.040 the thing that makes absolutely everything better.

00:00:51.920 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:53.380 And watch it happen right now with your help.

00:00:57.120 Go!

00:00:58.960 Well, I promised all of you

00:01:05.860 that I would read the book 1984,

00:01:08.920 which I'd never read before.

00:01:10.660 But one feels as though you get the idea.

00:01:15.000 You don't really feel like you have to read that book

00:01:17.540 because you know so much about the idea.

00:01:19.920 But so many people said,

00:01:22.700 Scott, Scott, you have to read it.

00:01:25.800 I know you think that it's not going to help,

00:01:28.340 but you have to read it.

00:01:29.400 Trust me.

00:01:30.240 So I got a copy of it,

00:01:31.740 and I started reading it.

00:01:33.580 I haven't gotten very far,

00:01:35.680 but let me tell you,

00:01:38.380 before I give you a view of the larger book,

00:01:42.720 oh my God, he can write well.

00:01:46.120 So the part I didn't see coming

00:01:48.260 is just that he's just such a good writer.

00:01:51.680 I didn't know that that was going to be so striking.

00:01:54.360 But my God, he's just good at writing.

00:01:57.800 So I'm only, you know, this much into the book.

00:02:00.060 I'll tell you if it changes my mind or anything.

00:02:03.000 What I'm expecting is it's just going to be

00:02:05.420 a fun sci-fi read,

00:02:08.520 and it'll be stuff that I generally had been thinking before.

00:02:11.720 The fact that it was prophetic,

00:02:14.140 does that mean anything?

00:02:16.740 I don't know if that means anything.

00:02:19.580 But yes, he was probably prophetic.

00:02:24.500 I think we should all make a decision as a nation

00:02:28.660 that we should just judge each other

00:02:32.020 by the worst people

00:02:34.640 who say they're part of our group.

00:02:37.480 So whatever your group is,

00:02:39.280 your group could be your ethnicity,

00:02:41.700 your religion,

00:02:42.900 could be your political affiliation.

00:02:45.140 It doesn't matter what it is.

00:02:47.320 But I think instead of pretending

00:02:51.060 we're judging each other individually

00:02:53.500 when we're not,

00:02:55.040 it's sort of obvious we're not,

00:02:57.100 why can't we just be more open about it

00:03:00.060 and just say,

00:03:01.520 I'm going to judge you

00:03:03.360 by the quality of strangers you've never met

00:03:08.040 who voluntarily joined whatever group you're in

00:03:11.700 or are just in it

00:03:13.140 because of their ethnicity.

00:03:14.720 We should just not pretend

00:03:16.420 that we're judging people individually

00:03:18.900 because we're not.

00:03:20.280 We stopped doing that a while ago.

00:03:22.040 We do judge people by the worst people

00:03:26.100 who voluntarily decided that they're part of your group.

00:03:31.600 You know, you woke up in the morning

00:03:33.520 and you thought,

00:03:34.040 hey, I'm just a good Democrat.

00:03:35.440 And then a Democrat goes on a murder spree.

00:03:38.280 You're like, well,

00:03:39.000 well, I guess I'm just like that.

00:03:42.720 Just accept it.

00:03:44.560 Just accept it.

00:03:46.520 Those of you who are coming in late

00:03:48.060 and saying,

00:03:48.640 where is the simultaneous sip?

00:03:50.720 That's what you get for being late.

00:03:53.420 I mean, it's the same time every day.

00:03:55.960 Do you have any excuse for missing

00:03:57.740 the simultaneous sip?

00:03:59.180 No, no, you don't.

00:04:01.200 There's no excuse.

00:04:03.220 Timeliness.

00:04:04.140 It's next to godliness.

00:04:06.620 All right.

00:04:08.640 You know what I always say

00:04:09.960 about accusations of sexual harassment?

00:04:14.420 It's the second one to get you.

00:04:17.100 The first accusation for some famous person,

00:04:20.340 let's say Governor Cuomo,

00:04:24.060 just to pick a random example.

00:04:26.180 If you have one accuser

00:04:27.780 and you've had a long history

00:04:30.320 of public life

00:04:31.700 and being in charge, etc.,

00:04:33.800 and only one accuser,

00:04:36.060 people say to themselves,

00:04:37.520 eh, what are the odds

00:04:39.340 that this person who's accused

00:04:41.000 of this behavior

00:04:41.880 only did it once

00:04:43.560 or only one person came forward

00:04:46.540 after all these years?

00:04:48.600 It's always that second one

00:04:50.420 that gets you.

00:04:51.660 And it looks like Governor Cuomo

00:04:53.940 has a second one.

00:04:55.640 Now, will it end

00:04:57.680 with the second one?

00:04:59.960 What are the odds

00:05:00.900 there are only two?

00:05:03.720 Now, I have to say

00:05:04.980 that if you were going to rank

00:05:07.120 the badness of what he did,

00:05:10.100 you know, on the one to ten scale,

00:05:12.780 where ten is like, you know,

00:05:14.120 a violent sex crime,

00:05:16.140 you know, whatever ten is,

00:05:17.500 pedophilia,

00:05:18.440 whatever you want to put at ten,

00:05:19.780 Cuomo's down sort of in that,

00:05:23.480 you know, mid-range

00:05:24.540 where people get fired

00:05:26.040 for that behavior,

00:05:27.100 probably should,

00:05:28.420 but, you know,

00:05:29.440 he's not killing anybody.

00:05:31.680 So, watching this all come about,

00:05:36.020 and again,

00:05:38.220 based on my statement,

00:05:39.780 somebody will take that

00:05:40.600 out of context and say,

00:05:42.060 why are you minimizing it?

00:05:44.720 Comparing it to murder

00:05:46.100 isn't really minimizing,

00:05:47.820 wouldn't that just be

00:05:49.180 an accurate statement

00:05:50.020 of, you know,

00:05:51.200 where it lives

00:05:51.820 on the scale of badness?

00:05:53.600 But it's still bad enough

00:05:54.380 to get fired in today's world.

00:05:57.140 But will Cuomo be fired?

00:05:58.980 Or will the Democrats

00:06:01.060 gather around him?

00:06:02.040 Now, the bigger story,

00:06:03.140 what we're seeing is,

00:06:04.100 do you think this is about Cuomo?

00:06:06.780 No.

00:06:07.860 Do you think it's about

00:06:08.880 the victims

00:06:10.060 or the alleged victims?

00:06:12.040 No.

00:06:13.540 No, it's not.

00:06:16.140 It's about 2024.

00:06:17.820 So, when you see the people

00:06:20.300 who are the presumptive,

00:06:22.580 you know,

00:06:23.140 maybe frontrunners

00:06:24.320 for 2024,

00:06:26.340 you're watching one by one.

00:06:27.920 They're all being taken down

00:06:29.020 and assassinated

00:06:29.920 by the opposite press.

00:06:32.020 So, you're seeing Cuomo

00:06:33.080 being taken down

00:06:34.140 by anybody

00:06:36.760 who doesn't want to see him

00:06:37.760 as president

00:06:38.440 because he had such

00:06:40.360 a strong base there

00:06:41.660 from the coronavirus

00:06:42.360 for a while

00:06:43.200 that it looked like,

00:06:44.640 wow,

00:06:44.880 he would just have to

00:06:45.760 want to be president

00:06:48.100 and he'd just walk

00:06:49.600 right into the job.

00:06:50.900 But the media

00:06:51.580 has taken him down

00:06:52.900 with the help

00:06:53.640 of the accusers

00:06:55.360 and, of course,

00:06:56.540 probably the longest

00:06:57.820 string of gigantic

00:06:59.180 mistakes

00:06:59.360 we've seen

00:07:01.040 from any politician

00:07:01.980 in a long time.

00:07:03.360 Think about

00:07:04.100 what you thought

00:07:04.720 of Cuomo

00:07:05.220 in the early days

00:07:06.600 of the pandemic

00:07:07.340 because I was one

00:07:09.140 of the people

00:07:09.580 who praised him.

00:07:11.580 And, you know,

00:07:12.300 I was trying to be

00:07:13.180 independent of party

00:07:14.320 affiliation

00:07:15.060 and just say,

00:07:16.400 hey, he's doing

00:07:16.940 a pretty good job

00:07:17.660 in these public

00:07:18.800 hearings about coronavirus.

00:07:21.180 But it turns out

00:07:22.040 that might have been

00:07:22.660 the only thing

00:07:23.160 he was doing

00:07:23.580 a good job at

00:07:24.420 when he wasn't

00:07:25.540 allegedly sexually

00:07:27.320 harassing people

00:07:28.180 and sending people

00:07:31.620 to their death

00:07:32.240 in nursing homes

00:07:33.220 because of the coronavirus

00:07:34.940 and then apparently

00:07:36.240 covering it up.

00:07:37.340 Allegedly.

00:07:38.540 So he's had the worst,

00:07:39.880 probably the worst,

00:07:41.020 year of any politician

00:07:42.760 of any time.

00:07:45.400 And he's still in office.

00:07:50.460 Do you think a Republican

00:07:53.160 would have lasted this long?

00:07:56.140 I don't know.

00:07:57.500 I don't know.

00:07:58.760 So we'll see.

00:08:00.760 But when you see

00:08:01.600 Josh Hawley

00:08:02.580 getting targeted

00:08:03.560 to be taken down,

00:08:05.240 that's because he has

00:08:06.160 2024 potential,

00:08:07.700 et cetera.

00:08:08.540 But as of today,

00:08:11.300 and based on what

00:08:12.200 we're seeing in the polls

00:08:13.280 and what we're seeing

00:08:14.000 from CPAC

00:08:14.840 and what Mitch McConnell

00:08:16.600 is saying about Trump,

00:08:18.020 et cetera,

00:08:18.780 it doesn't look like

00:08:20.560 the Republican side

00:08:22.040 has any mystery left.

00:08:25.120 The reporting is that

00:08:27.340 Trump is going to walk

00:08:28.660 right up to the line,

00:08:30.400 but not cross it

00:08:31.600 at his speech today,

00:08:32.720 of looking like

00:08:33.980 he's running for 2024.

00:08:36.100 Now, I don't think

00:08:36.820 he'd do it

00:08:37.460 unless he meant it.

00:08:40.160 I think he's way

00:08:41.500 beyond bluffing.

00:08:43.760 You know,

00:08:43.900 I don't think

00:08:44.240 it's a bluff.

00:08:45.560 So if you see

00:08:47.060 that Trump

00:08:47.540 acts serious

00:08:48.440 about running in 2024,

00:08:50.060 I would take it seriously.

00:08:51.540 And apparently

00:08:52.260 the Republican Party

00:08:53.340 has decided

00:08:54.080 that if he does run,

00:08:55.860 that's it.

00:08:57.660 Right?

00:08:58.100 I mean,

00:08:58.640 there'll probably be

00:08:59.220 a primary challenge.

00:09:00.100 but it looks like

00:09:02.100 he could just

00:09:02.560 walk into the job.

00:09:05.040 So,

00:09:06.240 so,

00:09:08.020 first of all,

00:09:09.420 I'm happy that

00:09:10.040 he's in the news again

00:09:11.060 so I have something

00:09:11.600 to talk about.

00:09:13.520 That really,

00:09:14.320 that really helps.

00:09:17.100 But it does make

00:09:18.200 all of the Republican

00:09:19.760 potential challengers

00:09:21.280 irrelevant now.

00:09:22.940 So when we were

00:09:23.800 talking about Rand Paul

00:09:24.980 and Josh Hawley

00:09:26.060 and Matt Gaetz

00:09:27.000 and anybody else

00:09:27.840 running for president,

00:09:28.620 none of that matters.

00:09:31.000 As long as Trump

00:09:32.040 is in the mix,

00:09:33.720 none of them

00:09:34.380 have a chance

00:09:35.000 of getting nominated.

00:09:36.780 But,

00:09:37.240 would Trump

00:09:37.920 have a chance

00:09:38.540 of winning?

00:09:40.800 Well,

00:09:41.440 what is,

00:09:42.140 what is the prediction

00:09:42.980 I remind you of

00:09:44.000 every single day?

00:09:45.800 My prediction

00:09:46.420 I remind you of

00:09:47.400 every day

00:09:48.140 is that the longer

00:09:49.540 Trump is out of office,

00:09:51.640 the better he'll look.

00:09:54.200 The better he will look.

00:09:55.600 And the reason is

00:09:56.600 that Biden

00:09:57.480 will have to address

00:09:58.720 one by one

00:10:00.080 each of the same things

00:10:01.340 that Trump

00:10:01.920 was criticized for

00:10:03.180 and he's going

00:10:04.320 to have to do better

00:10:05.240 or he'll lose,

00:10:07.820 or,

00:10:08.280 you know,

00:10:08.840 presumably Democrats

00:10:10.000 would lose the White House.

00:10:11.400 Now,

00:10:11.900 has he?

00:10:12.860 Now,

00:10:13.680 my take,

00:10:15.080 and this has always been

00:10:15.920 that Trump

00:10:16.580 had actually done

00:10:17.320 as well as you can do

00:10:19.380 on a lot of things

00:10:20.320 that he was criticized for.

00:10:21.500 And while we would all

00:10:23.360 like a lot of things

00:10:24.240 to be better,

00:10:25.120 everything from health care

00:10:26.260 to children in cages,

00:10:28.460 you know,

00:10:28.700 who's in favor

00:10:29.380 of children in cages?

00:10:31.140 Nobody,

00:10:31.800 right?

00:10:32.500 So,

00:10:33.140 we looked at those problems

00:10:34.720 and say,

00:10:35.560 they're problems

00:10:36.260 because they're hard

00:10:37.060 to solve.

00:10:38.900 So,

00:10:39.460 if Biden walks in

00:10:40.440 and he solves them,

00:10:42.120 I think he or the Democrats

00:10:43.820 should get re-elected.

00:10:45.040 Wouldn't you?

00:10:46.000 Wouldn't you say

00:10:46.840 if Biden came in

00:10:48.320 and then just solved

00:10:49.840 a bunch of problems

00:10:50.740 that Trump couldn't solve,

00:10:53.260 then I think the Democrats

00:10:54.460 have a really good argument

00:10:55.580 for the White House again.

00:10:57.300 But if Biden walks in

00:10:58.720 and runs into a wall,

00:11:00.440 so to speak,

00:11:02.080 and he can't solve

00:11:03.520 any of the problems

00:11:04.300 that Trump also struggled with,

00:11:07.200 such as immigration

00:11:08.320 is sort of a,

00:11:09.440 not something you solve

00:11:10.600 or don't solve,

00:11:12.000 it's something you're

00:11:12.920 sort of working on forever.

00:11:15.540 But,

00:11:15.900 yeah,

00:11:18.300 now that they're

00:11:19.100 overflow facilities,

00:11:20.340 somebody says,

00:11:21.040 they're not kids in cages anymore,

00:11:22.620 so problem solved.

00:11:24.500 So,

00:11:25.020 I would say that

00:11:25.900 Biden is a real liability

00:11:27.980 for keeping the White House

00:11:29.960 unless he actually solves

00:11:31.460 some problems

00:11:32.240 that Trump couldn't

00:11:34.400 and everything we're seeing

00:11:35.700 is him making it worse.

00:11:37.620 It looks like Biden's

00:11:39.120 making it worse

00:11:39.920 on the border

00:11:40.620 so far.

00:11:42.860 We'll have to see

00:11:43.500 how it develops.

00:11:44.360 But at the moment,

00:11:45.240 the smart bunny

00:11:46.540 says he's making it worse.

00:11:48.400 It looks like he's

00:11:49.240 making it worse

00:11:49.960 on jobs,

00:11:51.600 you know,

00:11:51.800 with the pipeline,

00:11:52.720 et cetera.

00:11:53.340 So there's a whole bunch

00:11:54.360 of places that

00:11:55.120 it does look like

00:11:56.640 Biden is just

00:11:57.940 opening up the door

00:11:58.980 to the White House

00:11:59.580 for the Republicans

00:12:00.440 and for Trump

00:12:01.760 to come back in.

00:12:03.080 All right.

00:12:07.080 Here's a thing

00:12:08.540 that I would have called

00:12:09.880 maybe not suspicious

00:12:12.640 before.

00:12:14.440 You know,

00:12:15.080 if you're a trusting person,

00:12:18.240 you have to get screwed

00:12:19.980 a number of times

00:12:20.780 before you stop

00:12:21.580 being trusting.

00:12:23.560 And with social media,

00:12:26.140 shadow banning

00:12:27.020 and that sort of thing,

00:12:28.460 I don't think

00:12:30.160 we can trust

00:12:31.060 that if there are

00:12:33.820 two explanations

00:12:34.700 for a thing

00:12:35.480 with social media,

00:12:36.820 I don't think

00:12:37.600 you can trust

00:12:38.260 the one that's innocent.

00:12:41.680 Usually,

00:12:42.400 I tell you

00:12:42.760 to trust

00:12:43.180 the innocent explanation

00:12:44.380 because it's usually right.

00:12:46.240 But I don't know

00:12:46.940 that we're in that world now.

00:12:48.120 And here's the

00:12:48.820 specific question.

00:12:51.040 So I was watching

00:12:52.020 my YouTube traffic

00:12:53.540 for doing what

00:12:54.640 I'm doing now.

00:12:55.440 It's on both YouTube

00:12:56.420 and Periscope

00:12:57.100 at the moment.

00:12:58.440 But the YouTube traffic,

00:12:59.920 you know,

00:13:00.160 they have really good stats.

00:13:01.360 You can track things.

00:13:03.320 At about the time

00:13:04.520 in 2020,

00:13:06.100 when the Trump administration

00:13:07.480 was making

00:13:08.260 the most noise

00:13:09.540 about some kind

00:13:11.840 of regulation

00:13:13.480 for the social media platforms

00:13:15.060 and noise

00:13:15.920 about suppression

00:13:16.680 of conservative voices,

00:13:18.900 something happened

00:13:19.880 to my traffic.

00:13:21.460 You're right,

00:13:21.980 in the beginning

00:13:23.060 of the summer

00:13:23.680 of last year,

00:13:24.660 and it just went crazy.

00:13:27.400 So that's when

00:13:28.340 the Trump administration

00:13:29.280 was threatening

00:13:30.180 the social media platforms.

00:13:32.180 My Twitter feed,

00:13:33.440 my YouTube traffic

00:13:36.720 just went through the roof.

00:13:39.740 Now,

00:13:40.320 as soon as Biden won,

00:13:43.240 my traffic fell off.

00:13:46.140 Like,

00:13:46.420 a lot.

00:13:47.600 A lot.

00:13:48.900 Now,

00:13:49.460 is it just because

00:13:50.540 it's not the election season?

00:13:53.060 Now,

00:13:53.800 if you would ask me,

00:13:55.520 you know,

00:13:55.820 I don't know,

00:13:56.120 two years ago,

00:13:57.300 why did things get quieter

00:13:58.840 after Trump lost the election?

00:14:02.660 I would have said,

00:14:03.780 well,

00:14:04.000 obviously,

00:14:04.620 there's just more energy,

00:14:05.520 there's just less energy out there.

00:14:07.560 People who are watching me

00:14:08.980 came to see what I said

00:14:10.360 about Trump.

00:14:11.240 He's not there.

00:14:11.860 It's obvious.

00:14:12.820 It's obvious why the traffic

00:14:14.280 went up before the election.

00:14:16.600 Obvious.

00:14:17.440 And it's obvious

00:14:18.100 why it went down

00:14:18.700 after the election.

00:14:21.380 But,

00:14:21.780 I don't know

00:14:22.660 if we can make

00:14:23.300 that assumption anymore.

00:14:24.620 Because I think

00:14:25.120 the social media platforms

00:14:26.600 lack the transparency

00:14:29.220 which would allow you

00:14:31.140 to say that

00:14:31.680 the obvious answer

00:14:32.740 is the obvious answer.

00:14:34.860 That it's just,

00:14:35.740 you know,

00:14:36.520 a normal pattern

00:14:37.480 because of the election.

00:14:39.280 It doesn't feel like that.

00:14:41.000 It feels like

00:14:42.060 maybe it was

00:14:43.500 the Trump administration

00:14:44.560 pressure

00:14:45.360 that changed

00:14:47.200 the controls

00:14:47.880 and as soon as

00:14:48.720 Biden's back in office

00:14:49.720 the controls went back on.

00:14:51.700 That's what it feels like.

00:14:53.720 All right.

00:14:54.300 Now,

00:14:54.980 can I say

00:14:56.140 that the evidence

00:14:56.980 demonstrates that clearly?

00:14:58.960 No.

00:14:59.800 No.

00:15:00.200 Because the other alternative

00:15:01.380 that is just a natural,

00:15:03.320 you know,

00:15:03.720 because of the election cycle

00:15:05.340 and there's nothing else

00:15:06.180 to explain

00:15:06.840 explains it perfectly.

00:15:08.820 But while you have

00:15:11.420 these two explanations

00:15:12.660 and non-transparency,

00:15:14.780 it's sort of like

00:15:15.260 the election problem, right?

00:15:17.140 As long as you have

00:15:18.020 any limits on transparency,

00:15:20.880 we're way beyond

00:15:22.000 the world

00:15:22.460 in which you can

00:15:23.120 assume good intentions.

00:15:27.540 I think it's a good trend

00:15:29.240 that women are getting

00:15:30.280 more involved

00:15:30.960 in mass violence.

00:15:33.240 You know,

00:15:33.620 there are a number

00:15:34.060 of women

00:15:34.500 were injured

00:15:35.320 and were a vital part

00:15:37.940 of the assault

00:15:39.220 on the Capitol.

00:15:40.240 I think 26 women

00:15:41.380 have been identified

00:15:42.900 as, you know,

00:15:44.440 people of interest

00:15:45.180 by law enforcement.

00:15:48.640 And where two women died,

00:15:51.260 maybe?

00:15:51.840 At least one.

00:15:54.080 But I noted also

00:15:55.300 that Antifa

00:15:55.980 and Black Lives Matter protests

00:15:57.860 also have lots of women

00:15:59.860 in them.

00:16:01.180 And those can get

00:16:02.460 a little violent too.

00:16:03.480 I don't know how much

00:16:04.100 of the women

00:16:04.520 doing the violence

00:16:05.280 how much of the men.

00:16:06.020 We did see

00:16:06.560 women in Antifa

00:16:09.040 breaking windows

00:16:10.580 and stuff.

00:16:11.340 So we know

00:16:11.840 that they do some stuff

00:16:12.860 setting fires.

00:16:15.140 So

00:16:15.380 I feel as though

00:16:18.000 the violence,

00:16:19.840 this mass violence

00:16:21.180 like the Capitol assault

00:16:22.520 and the riots

00:16:23.580 during the summer,

00:16:24.540 they've all taken on

00:16:25.420 this sort of

00:16:25.900 lifestyle feel.

00:16:29.200 Because let me

00:16:29.940 tell you this,

00:16:31.860 and I'm trying

00:16:32.700 to say this

00:16:33.420 I'm trying

00:16:35.440 to say this

00:16:36.220 in the

00:16:37.840 least sexist

00:16:39.600 way.

00:16:41.520 If you're

00:16:42.400 really trying

00:16:43.080 to take over

00:16:43.760 a country,

00:16:45.280 you leave

00:16:46.380 the women home.

00:16:48.360 Sorry.

00:16:50.140 Sorry.

00:16:51.060 If the Capitol

00:16:51.900 assault

00:16:52.460 had been

00:16:53.580 an actual

00:16:54.360 military takeover,

00:16:56.720 the women

00:16:57.920 don't go.

00:16:58.560 and there's

00:17:04.000 no reason

00:17:04.320 they can't.

00:17:05.000 Of course,

00:17:05.540 women can carry

00:17:06.380 weapons,

00:17:07.340 women are in

00:17:07.880 the military.

00:17:08.520 There's no reason

00:17:09.300 they can't be there.

00:17:10.480 It's not

00:17:11.340 logically

00:17:12.060 or

00:17:12.960 practically

00:17:14.640 undoable,

00:17:17.700 certainly doable.

00:17:18.580 but I feel

00:17:20.740 as if

00:17:21.160 when you're

00:17:22.660 serious about

00:17:23.500 it,

00:17:24.180 the women

00:17:24.620 don't go.

00:17:26.080 They can.

00:17:27.600 Right?

00:17:27.960 And they would

00:17:28.400 be capable

00:17:29.020 in many cases.

00:17:30.860 But I feel

00:17:32.060 like that's

00:17:32.440 a big tell.

00:17:33.820 That there's

00:17:34.280 something more

00:17:35.480 lifestyle about

00:17:36.720 this and

00:17:37.920 less

00:17:38.320 killy about

00:17:39.980 it.

00:17:40.620 You know

00:17:40.780 what I'm

00:17:41.460 saying?

00:17:42.960 Because as a

00:17:44.100 culture,

00:17:44.560 there are some

00:17:44.960 things that are

00:17:45.460 somewhat predictable

00:17:46.520 even if you

00:17:47.420 don't like

00:17:47.980 them.

00:17:48.900 And one is

00:17:49.460 that when the

00:17:50.240 serious killing

00:17:51.060 starts,

00:17:52.420 the men

00:17:52.960 push the

00:17:53.440 women away.

00:17:55.620 Right?

00:17:56.800 If the men

00:17:57.740 were there to

00:17:58.320 do serious

00:17:59.040 killing,

00:17:59.940 they would

00:18:00.540 have prevented

00:18:01.080 the women

00:18:01.520 from attending.

00:18:02.480 They would

00:18:02.700 have just

00:18:02.940 kept saying,

00:18:03.720 you can't

00:18:04.320 go beyond

00:18:04.720 this point.

00:18:05.680 Because after

00:18:06.220 this point,

00:18:06.880 there's going

00:18:07.220 to be some

00:18:07.580 serious killing.

00:18:09.100 You stay

00:18:09.700 there.

00:18:10.720 So I

00:18:11.160 think that's

00:18:12.280 yet another

00:18:13.040 obvious signal

00:18:14.120 that at

00:18:15.180 least the

00:18:15.620 bulk of the

00:18:16.320 people who

00:18:16.720 are at the

00:18:17.060 Capitol,

00:18:17.380 were not

00:18:18.920 planning it

00:18:19.560 to be

00:18:19.800 violent because

00:18:21.400 they would

00:18:21.900 have pushed

00:18:22.560 the women

00:18:23.000 out of the

00:18:23.380 building.

00:18:24.000 They would

00:18:24.580 have physically

00:18:25.200 removed the

00:18:25.960 women if

00:18:27.120 they were

00:18:27.380 planning to

00:18:27.880 be that

00:18:28.260 violent.

00:18:29.700 Now,

00:18:29.860 that's not

00:18:30.200 an absolute,

00:18:31.140 right?

00:18:31.380 You can't

00:18:31.700 say that for

00:18:32.160 sure.

00:18:32.760 But every

00:18:33.160 time you

00:18:33.440 see one

00:18:33.740 of these

00:18:34.100 indications

00:18:35.380 of what

00:18:36.040 people were

00:18:36.520 thinking,

00:18:37.120 it's worth

00:18:37.480 throwing it

00:18:37.940 in the mix.

00:18:38.480 but it

00:18:39.320 might be

00:18:39.720 apophenia,

00:18:41.440 that

00:18:41.580 ability,

00:18:42.440 that

00:18:42.640 phenomenon

00:18:44.040 where we

00:18:44.580 see patterns

00:18:45.400 where there

00:18:45.840 are no

00:18:46.220 patterns.

00:18:49.460 All right.

00:18:52.640 David

00:18:53.160 Boxenhorn on

00:18:54.380 Twitter made

00:18:55.720 a comment

00:18:56.400 that I love

00:18:57.060 for its

00:18:57.580 optimism.

00:18:59.300 He said

00:18:59.660 this on

00:19:00.280 Twitter.

00:19:00.660 He said,

00:19:01.100 for decades

00:19:01.560 the world

00:19:01.960 benefited from

00:19:02.640 technologies

00:19:03.460 spun off

00:19:04.720 from World

00:19:05.240 War II,

00:19:06.300 then the

00:19:07.000 Cold War.

00:19:07.400 Will a

00:19:08.420 new family

00:19:08.940 of mRNA

00:19:10.020 vaccines

00:19:10.920 wipe out

00:19:11.800 the last

00:19:12.280 remaining

00:19:12.760 serious

00:19:13.420 infectious

00:19:13.960 diseases

00:19:14.720 and give

00:19:15.880 us early

00:19:16.560 protection

00:19:16.980 from the

00:19:17.420 next

00:19:17.680 pandemic?

00:19:18.660 I'm

00:19:18.800 betting

00:19:19.040 yes.

00:19:20.620 Now,

00:19:21.020 the specific

00:19:21.500 examples

00:19:22.100 in an

00:19:22.560 article

00:19:22.840 that

00:19:23.420 David

00:19:24.780 Boxenhorn

00:19:25.640 tweeted

00:19:26.960 was about

00:19:28.020 how they're

00:19:28.480 looking at

00:19:28.960 the same

00:19:29.400 technology,

00:19:30.320 the base

00:19:31.000 technology

00:19:31.620 for the

00:19:32.060 mRNA

00:19:32.560 stuff.

00:19:33.620 By the

00:19:33.920 way,

00:19:34.080 I've

00:19:34.240 heard this

00:19:34.680 called a

00:19:35.320 platform

00:19:36.280 or a

00:19:36.900 technology.

00:19:37.400 I don't

00:19:39.680 know enough

00:19:40.100 about it,

00:19:40.720 but it's

00:19:41.500 interesting that

00:19:42.140 they see it

00:19:42.600 as a

00:19:43.020 platform,

00:19:44.620 meaning that

00:19:45.360 you could do

00:19:46.520 a lot of

00:19:46.900 things on

00:19:47.320 top of

00:19:47.680 the platform,

00:19:48.440 and one of

00:19:48.880 them might

00:19:49.180 be malaria.

00:19:50.460 So there's

00:19:51.140 real good

00:19:51.580 indication that

00:19:52.400 you could use

00:19:52.920 the same

00:19:53.320 technology,

00:19:54.600 not the

00:19:55.040 same

00:19:55.300 vaccination,

00:19:57.120 but the

00:19:57.300 same

00:19:57.560 technology,

00:19:58.800 to take

00:20:00.020 care of

00:20:00.300 malaria.

00:20:01.860 Malaria is

00:20:02.420 like a big

00:20:02.940 deal if you're

00:20:03.780 in the wrong

00:20:04.160 part of the

00:20:04.620 world.

00:20:06.020 And maybe

00:20:07.520 even as

00:20:08.280 David Boxenhorne

00:20:10.600 notes,

00:20:11.200 maybe even

00:20:11.700 targeted

00:20:12.120 cancers.

00:20:14.040 So there

00:20:14.460 might be

00:20:15.020 a cancer

00:20:16.280 solution here,

00:20:17.240 a malaria

00:20:17.740 solution,

00:20:18.680 and a

00:20:19.120 pandemic

00:20:19.580 solution that

00:20:21.260 come out of

00:20:21.780 this pandemic.

00:20:23.320 And I think

00:20:24.180 that this is

00:20:24.840 more likely

00:20:25.680 yes than

00:20:26.560 no.

00:20:27.700 So I'm

00:20:28.420 going to

00:20:28.620 agree with

00:20:29.160 David here

00:20:30.000 that I

00:20:32.300 feel as

00:20:32.820 if there

00:20:33.140 are massive,

00:20:34.660 just massive

00:20:36.140 social and

00:20:37.740 technological

00:20:38.400 benefits coming

00:20:39.400 out of the

00:20:39.760 pandemic.

00:20:41.200 You know,

00:20:41.400 everything from

00:20:42.200 changing how

00:20:43.640 we do

00:20:44.900 everything,

00:20:45.440 right?

00:20:45.720 Commute,

00:20:46.420 buy things,

00:20:47.840 shop,

00:20:48.960 we do our

00:20:49.720 food,

00:20:50.800 I mean,

00:20:50.920 just everything.

00:20:52.000 But this is

00:20:52.540 one of the

00:20:52.820 big ones.

00:20:54.840 Here's another

00:20:55.540 good Twitter

00:20:56.400 comment from

00:20:57.440 Christopher Hill,

00:20:58.540 another person

00:21:00.340 you should

00:21:00.660 follow,

00:21:01.180 David Boxenhorne,

00:21:02.140 you should

00:21:02.380 follow him,

00:21:03.400 and Christopher

00:21:04.080 Hill.

00:21:05.560 And he

00:21:05.860 says,

00:21:06.540 and I

00:21:06.860 never thought

00:21:07.340 about this,

00:21:07.820 this is a

00:21:08.120 good point,

00:21:08.460 he said,

00:21:08.740 lockdowns

00:21:09.320 largely rob

00:21:10.140 us of our

00:21:11.220 everyday

00:21:11.700 experiences

00:21:12.640 with the

00:21:13.200 other group,

00:21:14.260 meaning,

00:21:14.840 you know,

00:21:15.060 people on

00:21:15.440 the left

00:21:15.820 and people

00:21:16.240 on the right

00:21:16.640 politically,

00:21:17.880 at least.

00:21:18.920 I mean,

00:21:19.300 it means every

00:21:19.980 other kind

00:21:20.380 of group as

00:21:20.820 well.

00:21:21.620 How many

00:21:21.940 leftists were

00:21:22.580 kept in

00:21:23.020 check because

00:21:24.180 a conservative

00:21:24.860 would stop

00:21:25.520 and fix

00:21:25.980 their stranded

00:21:27.260 car?

00:21:28.540 It took

00:21:28.960 one year

00:21:29.440 to go

00:21:29.700 full

00:21:30.020 Nazi.

00:21:31.860 Like,

00:21:32.240 things move

00:21:32.700 fast,

00:21:33.140 right?

00:21:34.820 Now,

00:21:35.320 this example,

00:21:36.000 of course,

00:21:36.380 is just,

00:21:37.400 you know,

00:21:38.160 it's not like

00:21:39.500 this affected

00:21:40.080 every person

00:21:40.780 on the left,

00:21:41.480 so I wouldn't

00:21:42.200 call it

00:21:42.560 leftists

00:21:43.240 being kept

00:21:43.720 in check,

00:21:44.500 but I think

00:21:45.260 the point

00:21:45.920 is a good

00:21:46.920 one.

00:21:48.600 If you

00:21:49.260 commuted

00:21:49.760 to work,

00:21:50.740 or you

00:21:51.120 had your

00:21:51.500 normal

00:21:52.040 social

00:21:52.820 life,

00:21:54.340 you would

00:21:54.940 have had

00:21:55.320 probably a

00:21:55.900 lot more

00:21:56.500 accidental

00:21:57.180 contact

00:21:57.900 with people

00:21:58.500 in different

00:21:59.160 political

00:21:59.700 persuasions,

00:22:01.100 and many

00:22:01.820 of those

00:22:02.180 contacts

00:22:02.700 would have

00:22:03.140 gone well.

00:22:04.880 In other

00:22:05.220 words,

00:22:06.200 you know,

00:22:06.460 it isn't

00:22:07.400 somebody

00:22:07.720 necessarily

00:22:08.320 stopping to

00:22:09.220 change your

00:22:09.940 tire for

00:22:10.460 you,

00:22:10.940 but it

00:22:11.860 might just

00:22:12.240 be people

00:22:12.740 being nice

00:22:13.220 people,

00:22:14.320 and you

00:22:14.660 say to

00:22:14.920 yourself,

00:22:15.360 huh,

00:22:16.580 that Republican

00:22:17.660 there,

00:22:18.840 disagree with

00:22:19.600 them totally,

00:22:20.200 but I've

00:22:20.680 got to say,

00:22:21.220 nice person,

00:22:22.580 you know,

00:22:22.840 in person,

00:22:23.480 very nice,

00:22:24.040 and likewise,

00:22:25.320 the Republicans

00:22:25.700 said,

00:22:26.020 you know,

00:22:26.840 this blue-haired

00:22:28.240 transgender person,

00:22:30.320 I had some

00:22:31.200 feelings about

00:22:32.860 first,

00:22:33.400 but when you

00:22:34.160 get to know

00:22:34.620 him,

00:22:35.220 great person.

00:22:37.440 So how

00:22:38.100 often do

00:22:39.820 we see

00:22:40.240 counterexamples

00:22:41.480 of what the

00:22:42.580 other side

00:22:43.200 is,

00:22:43.960 and all their

00:22:44.480 differentness,

00:22:45.140 and their

00:22:45.400 weirdness,

00:22:46.500 and have it

00:22:47.840 counteracted by

00:22:49.460 our personal

00:22:49.980 experience?

00:22:51.600 Hey,

00:22:51.940 my personal

00:22:52.460 experiences,

00:22:53.160 these people are

00:22:53.680 great,

00:22:54.600 people are

00:22:55.040 people,

00:22:55.920 but as soon

00:22:56.580 as you're

00:22:56.880 living in

00:22:57.360 that Twitter

00:22:57.840 world,

00:22:58.480 and you're

00:22:59.060 socially

00:22:59.580 isolating with

00:23:00.420 your family,

00:23:01.160 maybe all you

00:23:02.200 get is one

00:23:02.720 set of

00:23:03.100 experiences for

00:23:03.980 a year.

00:23:05.220 What's that

00:23:05.720 new to you?

00:23:07.140 I mean,

00:23:07.400 it's a good

00:23:07.700 point,

00:23:08.720 sort of an

00:23:10.180 unknown.

00:23:10.820 Is this a

00:23:11.260 big deal?

00:23:12.580 It could be.

00:23:13.620 It could be a

00:23:14.260 big deal.

00:23:15.080 We won't

00:23:15.760 know,

00:23:16.060 maybe ever.

00:23:18.820 I ask you

00:23:19.680 this question

00:23:20.360 about border

00:23:21.820 with Mexico.

00:23:22.940 So the

00:23:23.280 Biden

00:23:23.480 administration

00:23:24.020 is going

00:23:24.740 soft,

00:23:25.600 I think

00:23:26.140 it's fair

00:23:26.540 to say.

00:23:27.500 Soft would

00:23:28.040 be not

00:23:28.960 even really

00:23:29.420 an opinion.

00:23:30.340 It seems

00:23:30.700 like that

00:23:31.100 matches the

00:23:31.760 news.

00:23:33.340 Going soft

00:23:34.120 on immigration

00:23:35.760 enforcement,

00:23:37.000 or a lot

00:23:37.860 softer.

00:23:38.380 of the folks

00:23:42.660 who would

00:23:42.920 have been

00:23:43.120 eligible or

00:23:44.360 targeted for

00:23:45.100 deportation

00:23:45.960 under Trump

00:23:46.940 are no

00:23:47.380 longer

00:23:47.700 targeted,

00:23:48.540 so they

00:23:49.080 have to

00:23:49.340 be pretty

00:23:50.080 serious

00:23:50.640 criminals to

00:23:51.320 get deported

00:23:53.080 now.

00:23:54.920 But beyond

00:23:55.620 that,

00:23:56.300 there may be

00:23:57.180 more of an

00:23:57.740 open invitation,

00:23:59.120 open invitation

00:24:00.200 to come on

00:24:00.920 over,

00:24:01.400 because you

00:24:02.320 won't be

00:24:02.960 put in

00:24:03.720 cages,

00:24:04.300 maybe,

00:24:05.040 we'll see.

00:24:06.200 Or you

00:24:07.320 might be

00:24:07.580 able to

00:24:07.820 stay and

00:24:08.580 just not

00:24:09.960 show up for

00:24:10.380 your court

00:24:10.720 case,

00:24:11.160 and that's

00:24:11.480 fine.

00:24:12.680 So under

00:24:14.320 Biden, we

00:24:15.260 do assume

00:24:15.980 that there

00:24:16.340 will be an

00:24:17.240 increase in

00:24:17.800 immigration of

00:24:18.720 some kind.

00:24:19.560 We're waiting

00:24:20.060 to see what

00:24:20.540 that looks

00:24:20.920 like.

00:24:22.040 But here's

00:24:22.740 my question.

00:24:24.500 Shouldn't

00:24:24.980 we at

00:24:25.420 least be

00:24:25.860 talking about

00:24:27.080 annexing

00:24:28.420 Mexico,

00:24:29.560 making it

00:24:30.520 some kind

00:24:32.420 of affiliated

00:24:33.680 organization.

00:24:35.700 I'm not

00:24:35.960 sure Americans

00:24:37.120 would want

00:24:37.520 to increase

00:24:38.140 their taxes

00:24:38.720 to take

00:24:40.120 care of

00:24:40.400 the social

00:24:40.800 programs in

00:24:41.480 Mexico.

00:24:42.260 But I

00:24:43.020 feel like

00:24:43.380 we could

00:24:43.680 have some

00:24:44.280 kind of

00:24:45.400 annexation.

00:24:47.320 Now, you

00:24:48.100 say to

00:24:48.360 yourself,

00:24:49.440 wait a

00:24:50.320 minute,

00:24:51.600 that's

00:24:52.200 about as

00:24:53.200 illegal as

00:24:53.820 anything could

00:24:54.340 be.

00:24:55.480 To which

00:24:56.180 I say,

00:24:56.940 that would

00:24:57.460 be true

00:24:57.960 if Mexico

00:24:59.080 were like

00:24:59.820 a regular

00:25:00.380 government.

00:25:02.080 But Mexico

00:25:02.540 is effectively

00:25:03.540 a narco

00:25:04.520 government.

00:25:05.300 It's a

00:25:05.840 criminal

00:25:06.240 organization,

00:25:07.380 for all

00:25:07.900 practical

00:25:08.280 purposes,

00:25:08.940 because the

00:25:09.400 elected

00:25:10.140 government

00:25:10.560 can't do

00:25:11.040 anything

00:25:11.380 without the

00:25:13.400 narco

00:25:14.340 drug

00:25:15.720 cartels

00:25:16.600 approving.

00:25:18.200 Otherwise,

00:25:18.680 they would

00:25:19.320 get killed.

00:25:20.800 So,

00:25:21.180 given that

00:25:21.600 it's a

00:25:22.020 criminal

00:25:22.360 organization,

00:25:23.400 and Biden

00:25:24.900 just opened

00:25:25.480 the doors,

00:25:26.280 said,

00:25:26.620 hey,

00:25:26.880 come on

00:25:27.320 in with

00:25:27.680 your

00:25:27.940 criminal

00:25:29.020 organizations.

00:25:32.740 How do

00:25:33.500 we control

00:25:34.240 the badness

00:25:35.280 coming in

00:25:36.000 unless you

00:25:37.360 can either

00:25:37.920 have some

00:25:38.780 direct control

00:25:39.660 over Mexico

00:25:40.400 by annexing

00:25:42.560 it,

00:25:43.200 or you

00:25:44.500 close the

00:25:44.900 border?

00:25:45.980 Aren't those

00:25:46.520 your only

00:25:46.860 two choices?

00:25:48.460 So,

00:25:48.820 Trump was

00:25:49.300 going for

00:25:49.820 the leave

00:25:50.680 Mexico

00:25:51.100 alone,

00:25:52.180 close the

00:25:53.580 border,

00:25:54.220 and just

00:25:54.840 have a

00:25:55.960 controlled

00:25:56.340 situation.

00:25:56.960 Biden

00:25:57.900 is

00:25:58.180 more

00:25:58.560 porous

00:25:59.320 border,

00:25:59.880 not

00:26:00.060 opening it,

00:26:01.720 but it's

00:26:02.020 porous

00:26:02.620 by design.

00:26:04.820 We should

00:26:05.460 at least

00:26:05.760 throw it

00:26:06.180 in the

00:26:06.420 mix.

00:26:08.220 Now,

00:26:08.700 if we

00:26:09.220 throw it

00:26:09.580 in the

00:26:09.800 mix

00:26:10.020 and smart

00:26:10.880 people say,

00:26:12.100 well,

00:26:12.400 that's not

00:26:12.780 practical,

00:26:13.360 there's no

00:26:13.680 way to do

00:26:14.060 it,

00:26:14.240 okay.

00:26:15.440 But I

00:26:15.760 feel like it

00:26:16.180 has to be

00:26:16.540 in the

00:26:16.800 mix if

00:26:17.460 you're

00:26:17.640 opening

00:26:17.900 the

00:26:18.120 border.

00:26:18.880 If you're

00:26:19.340 going to

00:26:19.580 be tight

00:26:20.140 on border,

00:26:20.720 then no,

00:26:21.300 you don't

00:26:21.560 need to

00:26:21.860 talk about

00:26:22.280 it at

00:26:22.440 all.

00:26:22.920 But I

00:26:23.220 don't

00:26:23.380 see how

00:26:23.800 an open-ish

00:26:24.600 border can

00:26:27.220 possibly work

00:26:28.180 unless we

00:26:29.240 can control

00:26:29.940 what's

00:26:30.220 happening on

00:26:30.680 the other

00:26:30.960 side.

00:26:32.560 So it

00:26:32.880 has to

00:26:33.500 be in

00:26:33.740 the

00:26:33.880 conversation.

00:26:35.500 I'm

00:26:35.800 stopping

00:26:37.140 well short

00:26:38.200 of saying

00:26:39.540 we should

00:26:39.920 annex Mexico.

00:26:41.060 I'm not

00:26:41.260 saying that.

00:26:42.540 I feel

00:26:42.920 like it

00:26:43.220 should be

00:26:43.520 in the

00:26:43.740 conversation

00:26:44.260 as an

00:26:45.820 integrated

00:26:46.320 strategy.

00:26:47.340 Because just

00:26:48.280 having a

00:26:49.240 porous

00:26:49.560 border is

00:26:50.320 a half

00:26:50.780 strategy.

00:26:51.240 It just

00:26:52.140 sort of

00:26:52.640 makes the

00:26:53.040 United

00:26:53.280 States

00:26:53.780 evolve into

00:26:55.300 sort of

00:26:55.760 a Mexico-ish

00:26:57.340 more situation.

00:26:59.600 If that's

00:27:00.080 what you

00:27:00.360 want,

00:27:00.760 at least

00:27:01.040 do it

00:27:01.300 intentionally.

00:27:02.240 If you're

00:27:03.000 not doing

00:27:03.360 that

00:27:03.580 intentionally,

00:27:05.020 let's

00:27:05.780 talk about

00:27:06.280 what we

00:27:06.620 could do

00:27:06.940 intentionally.

00:27:10.080 Have you

00:27:10.840 noticed that

00:27:11.500 there are

00:27:12.680 two situations

00:27:13.520 when you

00:27:14.120 have a

00:27:14.440 disagreement

00:27:14.920 with

00:27:15.260 somebody?

00:27:16.820 Number

00:27:17.140 one,

00:27:17.940 they're

00:27:18.380 hallucinating

00:27:19.180 a world

00:27:20.240 that doesn't

00:27:20.800 exist,

00:27:21.240 because they

00:27:21.680 don't have

00:27:22.100 enough

00:27:22.360 information.

00:27:23.760 So people

00:27:24.260 who are

00:27:24.640 low on

00:27:25.260 information

00:27:25.900 literally

00:27:27.660 hallucinate

00:27:28.540 a world

00:27:28.940 that doesn't

00:27:29.360 exist,

00:27:30.140 because their

00:27:31.220 lack of

00:27:31.680 information

00:27:32.200 causes them

00:27:33.260 to piece

00:27:34.340 together this

00:27:35.060 view of

00:27:35.420 reality that's

00:27:36.420 artificial,

00:27:37.220 isn't real.

00:27:38.780 So what if

00:27:39.280 you approach

00:27:40.340 this person

00:27:40.880 who is

00:27:41.160 under-informed

00:27:41.940 and you

00:27:43.120 give them

00:27:43.660 information,

00:27:44.380 and it's

00:27:44.720 good,

00:27:45.140 and it's

00:27:45.420 accurate,

00:27:46.160 does that

00:27:46.780 person take

00:27:47.340 that information

00:27:47.980 and say,

00:27:48.540 oh,

00:27:49.400 wow,

00:27:49.860 you filled

00:27:50.280 in a

00:27:50.520 whole bunch

00:27:50.820 of holes

00:27:51.140 for me,

00:27:52.100 didn't know

00:27:52.580 about that,

00:27:53.680 so now I'm

00:27:54.180 going to alter

00:27:54.780 my worldview

00:27:55.500 with this

00:27:56.120 new information.

00:27:57.900 No.

00:27:59.160 No.

00:28:00.360 You can

00:28:01.280 observe that

00:28:01.800 that doesn't

00:28:02.240 happen.

00:28:03.220 The person

00:28:03.640 will be

00:28:04.280 triggered into

00:28:04.960 cognitive

00:28:05.460 dissonance.

00:28:06.640 And cognitive

00:28:07.200 dissonance is

00:28:07.940 just another

00:28:08.780 kind of

00:28:09.260 hallucination.

00:28:10.620 So it's

00:28:11.120 just a

00:28:11.500 different

00:28:11.800 hallucination.

00:28:12.440 The first

00:28:13.700 hallucination

00:28:14.360 is triggered

00:28:15.240 by lack

00:28:15.880 of knowledge.

00:28:17.420 The second

00:28:17.900 hallucination

00:28:18.580 is triggered

00:28:19.380 by accurate

00:28:21.120 knowledge.

00:28:22.460 It just

00:28:22.740 doesn't match

00:28:23.300 what they

00:28:23.600 thought they

00:28:24.040 thought before.

00:28:25.880 There are

00:28:26.520 only two

00:28:26.960 situations.

00:28:28.640 Not having

00:28:29.300 enough knowledge

00:28:30.000 and then

00:28:31.240 having enough

00:28:32.640 knowledge.

00:28:33.560 Both of

00:28:34.300 them cause

00:28:34.980 you to

00:28:35.340 hallucinate.

00:28:38.000 Now,

00:28:39.140 I've been

00:28:40.600 telling you

00:28:41.020 since the

00:28:41.440 beginning,

00:28:41.740 I have

00:28:42.080 this

00:28:42.220 background

00:28:42.680 in

00:28:42.940 hypnosis,

00:28:43.640 and hypnotists

00:28:44.280 are taught,

00:28:45.240 among other

00:28:45.820 things,

00:28:46.240 that everything

00:28:46.780 is a

00:28:47.200 hallucination.

00:28:48.360 In other

00:28:48.640 words,

00:28:48.860 everything is

00:28:49.360 a subjective

00:28:50.160 interpretation

00:28:50.940 of something

00:28:52.380 that might

00:28:52.820 be some

00:28:53.200 base reality,

00:28:54.500 but it's

00:28:54.820 not available

00:28:55.500 to us.

00:28:57.380 We don't

00:28:58.060 know what

00:28:58.460 it is.

00:28:59.160 We can

00:29:00.340 get clues

00:29:01.160 to the

00:29:01.540 process of

00:29:02.160 science over

00:29:03.180 time,

00:29:04.000 but our

00:29:04.440 day-to-day

00:29:05.080 da-da-da-da-da-da,

00:29:06.360 what's the

00:29:06.940 world,

00:29:07.300 who am I,

00:29:08.360 what's going

00:29:08.860 to happen

00:29:09.140 today,

00:29:09.740 what are

00:29:10.080 the forces

00:29:10.560 that are

00:29:10.960 operating,

00:29:11.740 it's all

00:29:12.620 illusions.

00:29:13.760 You only have

00:29:14.620 two ways to

00:29:15.320 get to those

00:29:15.860 illusions,

00:29:16.680 but there are

00:29:17.660 only two

00:29:18.200 paths,

00:29:19.520 and they

00:29:19.900 both lead

00:29:20.380 to illusion.

00:29:21.860 So,

00:29:22.120 it's one

00:29:25.200 thing to

00:29:25.640 intellectually

00:29:26.380 know this

00:29:27.120 is true.

00:29:29.780 Intellectually,

00:29:30.420 you can say,

00:29:30.940 yeah,

00:29:31.400 I see what you're

00:29:32.000 saying,

00:29:32.340 Scott,

00:29:32.680 yeah,

00:29:33.400 we're not

00:29:34.060 that accurate

00:29:34.900 with our

00:29:35.400 worldview,

00:29:36.120 view,

00:29:36.740 but there's

00:29:37.820 this whole

00:29:38.480 path going

00:29:40.600 from,

00:29:41.140 yeah,

00:29:41.420 I know it

00:29:41.880 intellectually,

00:29:43.140 to actually

00:29:43.960 seeing it,

00:29:45.840 meaning that

00:29:46.540 you're walking

00:29:47.840 down the

00:29:48.280 street and

00:29:48.820 you don't

00:29:49.140 think any

00:29:49.580 of it's

00:29:49.860 real.

00:29:51.080 That's a

00:29:51.780 whole different

00:29:53.120 level of

00:29:54.740 understanding your

00:29:55.800 world as

00:29:56.360 subjective.

00:29:57.540 Now,

00:29:57.900 you have to

00:29:58.200 treat it as

00:29:58.740 real,

00:29:59.280 because if the

00:29:59.840 truck is

00:30:00.260 coming,

00:30:00.680 you don't

00:30:00.940 want to

00:30:01.220 walk in

00:30:01.860 front of

00:30:02.120 it,

00:30:02.980 but there's

00:30:04.460 a lot of

00:30:04.740 interpretation

00:30:05.300 going on here,

00:30:06.000 is what I'm

00:30:06.280 saying.

00:30:07.320 All right,

00:30:08.680 and the

00:30:09.840 best place

00:30:10.540 you can see

00:30:11.020 this,

00:30:11.440 if you haven't

00:30:11.940 tried it

00:30:12.260 yourself,

00:30:12.920 I was doing

00:30:13.400 this yesterday

00:30:14.040 with somebody

00:30:15.980 on Twitter I

00:30:16.820 consider a

00:30:17.500 very rational

00:30:18.240 person.

00:30:19.240 So you start

00:30:20.200 to know people

00:30:20.820 on Twitter that

00:30:21.480 you don't know

00:30:22.020 personally,

00:30:22.680 if you watch

00:30:23.460 anybody's

00:30:23.980 responses,

00:30:24.920 and there's

00:30:25.600 one individual,

00:30:26.420 and I won't

00:30:26.760 name him,

00:30:27.680 but he's

00:30:28.140 really good

00:30:28.860 at responses,

00:30:31.360 and I see

00:30:31.940 him responding

00:30:32.540 to lots of

00:30:33.120 different tweets

00:30:33.620 in my feed,

00:30:34.400 and he does

00:30:35.120 a good job,

00:30:35.740 and he often

00:30:36.180 disagrees with

00:30:37.200 me or the

00:30:38.080 people he's

00:30:38.480 responding to,

00:30:39.500 but he does

00:30:40.220 it really well.

00:30:42.100 So it's not

00:30:43.380 a name that

00:30:43.960 you've heard

00:30:44.320 before,

00:30:44.920 right?

00:30:45.320 So I'm

00:30:45.740 talking about

00:30:46.260 somebody whose

00:30:46.720 name I've

00:30:47.180 never mentioned,

00:30:48.300 so if you

00:30:48.720 think you can

00:30:49.340 guess who it

00:30:49.840 is,

00:30:50.140 it's just

00:30:50.860 somebody you

00:30:52.140 probably haven't

00:30:52.740 experienced.

00:30:54.200 And I was

00:30:54.880 watching him

00:30:55.480 doubt the

00:30:57.180 find people

00:30:57.940 hoax,

00:30:58.500 and then somebody

00:30:59.120 showed him the

00:30:59.700 full transcript,

00:31:00.380 and pointed

00:31:01.720 to where in

00:31:02.400 the transcript

00:31:02.900 you can see,

00:31:04.460 Trump says

00:31:05.040 without prompting

00:31:06.040 that the

00:31:06.960 racists should

00:31:07.540 be condemned.

00:31:09.060 Now,

00:31:09.860 the transcript

00:31:10.480 is 100%

00:31:12.040 clear information

00:31:13.460 that Trump

00:31:14.340 always talked

00:31:16.020 about his

00:31:16.500 assumption that

00:31:17.220 there were

00:31:17.460 non-racists

00:31:18.140 there,

00:31:18.480 and they

00:31:18.720 were the

00:31:18.980 fine people,

00:31:20.040 the people

00:31:20.460 who were the

00:31:20.980 racists were

00:31:21.540 the not-fine

00:31:22.160 people,

00:31:23.360 clear as could

00:31:24.040 be.

00:31:25.040 So what

00:31:25.440 happens when

00:31:25.960 a completely

00:31:26.940 rational person

00:31:28.140 is introduced

00:31:29.740 with this

00:31:30.280 new knowledge?

00:31:31.160 They go down

00:31:31.620 the well.

00:31:32.680 I call it

00:31:33.280 the cognitive

00:31:33.940 dissonance

00:31:34.520 well.

00:31:35.200 And watching

00:31:35.660 it happen

00:31:36.120 in real

00:31:36.560 time,

00:31:37.620 you have

00:31:38.300 to try

00:31:38.740 it.

00:31:39.520 You need

00:31:40.020 to try

00:31:40.340 it at

00:31:40.560 home.

00:31:41.200 The first

00:31:41.680 thing they'll

00:31:42.060 do is

00:31:42.800 deny that

00:31:44.140 there were

00:31:45.300 any fine

00:31:45.920 people there.

00:31:47.380 And then I

00:31:47.840 usually add,

00:31:48.680 I interview

00:31:49.180 them,

00:31:50.260 and they

00:31:50.640 denounce

00:31:51.140 the racists,

00:31:51.880 and they

00:31:53.720 just like

00:31:54.500 the statues.

00:31:55.760 And then

00:31:56.100 a little

00:31:56.660 further down

00:31:57.280 the well,

00:31:57.860 the person

00:31:58.260 will say,

00:31:59.320 but they

00:31:59.760 couldn't

00:32:00.220 have been

00:32:00.660 fine people

00:32:01.860 because they

00:32:02.220 were marching

00:32:02.820 with racists.

00:32:04.260 Who marches

00:32:05.180 with racists?

00:32:06.280 Now that's

00:32:06.640 the first

00:32:07.020 hallucination.

00:32:08.440 There's no

00:32:09.040 evidence that

00:32:10.280 everybody was

00:32:10.940 marching.

00:32:13.100 That's just,

00:32:13.640 nobody's ever

00:32:14.400 reported that.

00:32:15.980 It's never

00:32:16.480 been asserted.

00:32:17.940 It's a

00:32:18.480 complete

00:32:18.820 hallucination

00:32:19.600 that all

00:32:20.020 the people

00:32:20.400 there were

00:32:20.840 marching.

00:32:22.020 In fact,

00:32:22.740 there were

00:32:22.940 just different

00:32:23.420 groups,

00:32:24.040 some were

00:32:24.360 marching.

00:32:25.360 The police

00:32:25.800 actually wouldn't

00:32:27.160 let people

00:32:27.800 who got

00:32:28.120 there after

00:32:29.160 a certain

00:32:29.580 point even

00:32:30.760 get anywhere

00:32:31.260 near the

00:32:31.680 marchers.

00:32:32.580 So they

00:32:33.000 were physically

00:32:33.560 separated.

00:32:34.720 So that's

00:32:35.080 the first

00:32:35.400 hallucination.

00:32:36.040 You get

00:32:36.240 that every

00:32:36.640 time.

00:32:37.440 And then

00:32:37.620 it goes

00:32:37.860 down to,

00:32:38.880 yes,

00:32:39.200 but if you

00:32:39.620 support

00:32:40.020 statues,

00:32:41.180 then by

00:32:41.900 definition you

00:32:42.740 must be a

00:32:43.260 racist,

00:32:44.060 and they

00:32:44.380 must have

00:32:44.700 been lying

00:32:45.200 to you,

00:32:45.660 Scott,

00:32:45.960 when you

00:32:46.220 interviewed

00:32:46.560 them

00:32:46.820 personally.

00:32:47.800 To which

00:32:48.220 I say,

00:32:49.840 something like

00:32:51.080 20% of

00:32:51.880 African Americans

00:32:52.840 support keeping

00:32:53.880 the statues.

00:32:56.200 Are we

00:32:56.860 done here?

00:32:58.060 I don't

00:32:58.700 know why

00:32:59.080 they support

00:32:59.620 them.

00:33:00.060 I haven't

00:33:00.420 asked them,

00:33:01.100 but it's

00:33:01.500 fairly consistent,

00:33:02.560 right?

00:33:03.240 Over 20%

00:33:04.260 of black

00:33:05.320 citizens who

00:33:07.100 should be,

00:33:08.180 in my opinion,

00:33:09.600 a little bit

00:33:10.280 offended by

00:33:10.880 that, at

00:33:11.620 least a little

00:33:12.080 bit, if not

00:33:12.800 a lot.

00:33:14.040 And I'm

00:33:15.000 anti-statue,

00:33:15.800 by the way,

00:33:16.100 because I

00:33:16.360 think they're

00:33:16.800 impolite,

00:33:18.060 and to me

00:33:18.860 that's the

00:33:19.240 end of the

00:33:19.640 conversation.

00:33:20.940 Why would

00:33:21.320 you do

00:33:21.540 impolite

00:33:22.040 things in

00:33:22.600 public?

00:33:24.320 I mean,

00:33:24.880 it's legal,

00:33:26.300 but that

00:33:26.660 doesn't mean

00:33:27.060 it's a good

00:33:27.460 idea.

00:33:28.720 So, for

00:33:29.740 me, the

00:33:30.080 entire statue

00:33:30.860 of conversation

00:33:31.500 comes down

00:33:32.100 to, is

00:33:33.160 that polite,

00:33:34.460 to put

00:33:35.460 something up

00:33:35.960 there that

00:33:36.440 so many

00:33:37.580 citizens of

00:33:39.340 this country

00:33:39.820 are offended

00:33:40.300 by?

00:33:41.380 I mean, you

00:33:41.840 can do it,

00:33:43.380 and I get

00:33:44.080 that it has

00:33:44.440 a historical

00:33:45.140 meaning, and

00:33:47.180 free speech is

00:33:47.900 important, and

00:33:48.840 yada, yada,

00:33:49.460 yada.

00:33:50.180 But it's

00:33:50.900 kind of

00:33:51.220 impolite.

00:33:52.600 And if you

00:33:53.280 need to

00:33:53.640 argue beyond

00:33:54.380 that, you

00:33:56.200 know, all

00:33:56.520 the way to

00:33:57.160 history and

00:33:58.440 stuff like

00:33:58.820 that, those

00:33:59.200 are all true

00:33:59.900 statements.

00:34:00.720 I wouldn't

00:34:01.360 even give you

00:34:01.940 any pushback

00:34:02.700 on that.

00:34:03.960 No pushback

00:34:04.820 at all.

00:34:05.340 I'm just

00:34:05.620 saying, why

00:34:06.660 would you

00:34:06.960 choose

00:34:07.220 impolite?

00:34:08.720 How does

00:34:09.280 that make

00:34:09.640 anything

00:34:09.880 better?

00:34:11.360 You don't

00:34:12.020 even need

00:34:12.420 to get

00:34:12.700 political

00:34:13.160 about this

00:34:13.740 even a

00:34:14.140 little bit.

00:34:15.000 I don't

00:34:15.440 see any

00:34:16.080 politics to

00:34:17.500 it.

00:34:18.340 It's

00:34:18.580 just, it's

00:34:20.020 rude.

00:34:20.980 It's just

00:34:21.320 impolite.

00:34:22.300 Now, it

00:34:22.500 wasn't always

00:34:22.960 rude, right?

00:34:24.140 Things change.

00:34:25.160 But I think

00:34:25.560 you have to

00:34:25.920 allow that

00:34:26.360 people's

00:34:26.740 sensibilities

00:34:27.240 change over

00:34:28.020 time.

00:34:29.520 All right,

00:34:30.060 speaking of

00:34:32.000 CPAC,

00:34:33.260 Malcolm Flex,

00:34:34.860 also on

00:34:35.440 Twitter, made

00:34:36.020 this comment.

00:34:36.920 He said

00:34:37.200 that, talking

00:34:38.720 about CPAC,

00:34:39.480 he says,

00:34:40.080 making masking a

00:34:41.080 hill to die

00:34:41.760 on is a

00:34:42.480 self-replicating

00:34:43.680 L, meaning

00:34:45.260 loss, for

00:34:46.500 conservatives.

00:34:47.120 Many

00:34:47.820 conservatives

00:34:48.300 don't have

00:34:48.740 any political

00:34:49.360 capital or

00:34:50.100 willpower to

00:34:50.840 enforce not

00:34:52.180 masking, could

00:34:53.760 have just

00:34:54.100 hammered on

00:34:54.620 Fauci's

00:34:55.140 inconsistencies

00:34:56.000 and double

00:34:56.580 masking

00:34:57.020 idiocy.

00:34:58.580 Good

00:34:59.180 analysis by

00:35:00.560 Malcolm Flex.

00:35:02.600 I assume

00:35:03.240 that's just

00:35:03.660 his Twitter

00:35:04.040 name.

00:35:06.600 I would

00:35:07.420 agree with

00:35:07.800 this.

00:35:08.980 It is one

00:35:09.680 thing to

00:35:10.100 say that

00:35:11.060 you as a,

00:35:12.600 let's say,

00:35:13.080 Republican,

00:35:13.560 it's one

00:35:14.860 thing to

00:35:15.200 say that

00:35:15.600 you're

00:35:15.800 anti-mask

00:35:16.620 and you

00:35:16.880 think other

00:35:17.280 people should

00:35:17.880 be, etc.

00:35:18.600 But it's

00:35:19.200 not something

00:35:19.620 you're going

00:35:19.880 to win.

00:35:21.640 Right?

00:35:22.320 So,

00:35:23.160 pushing against

00:35:23.880 something you're

00:35:24.480 not really

00:35:24.840 going to win,

00:35:26.560 you have to

00:35:27.060 ask yourself

00:35:28.140 if that's

00:35:28.520 worth doing.

00:35:29.320 But more

00:35:29.700 importantly,

00:35:30.740 it's just

00:35:31.340 this giant

00:35:31.900 red flag

00:35:32.580 that says

00:35:33.000 don't vote

00:35:33.560 for me

00:35:33.980 in 2024.

00:35:34.700 You know,

00:35:37.700 the CPAC

00:35:38.520 is part,

00:35:39.280 not partly,

00:35:40.040 it's primarily

00:35:41.200 about the

00:35:41.900 base,

00:35:42.360 right?

00:35:42.900 But it's

00:35:43.280 widely reported.

00:35:44.760 So,

00:35:45.300 whatever they

00:35:46.200 do that

00:35:46.620 sends a

00:35:47.040 political

00:35:47.520 message about

00:35:48.300 who Republicans

00:35:49.260 are,

00:35:50.900 is going to

00:35:51.440 come out

00:35:51.680 of CPAC.

00:35:53.040 And the

00:35:53.500 message the

00:35:54.060 Republicans

00:35:54.520 sent is

00:35:55.340 that they're

00:35:56.340 anti-mask.

00:35:57.980 Now,

00:35:58.600 of course,

00:35:59.640 Republicans vote

00:36:00.500 for Republicans,

00:36:02.200 but you need

00:36:02.820 just a few

00:36:04.320 people on

00:36:05.620 the other

00:36:05.920 team to

00:36:06.420 vote for

00:36:06.880 you if

00:36:07.160 you want

00:36:07.400 to be

00:36:07.600 president.

00:36:08.220 You've

00:36:08.420 got to

00:36:08.640 get a

00:36:08.900 few.

00:36:10.340 How many

00:36:11.240 Democrats

00:36:12.240 are Republicans

00:36:13.200 going to get

00:36:13.860 to vote for

00:36:14.460 them by

00:36:14.840 being

00:36:15.100 anti-mask?

00:36:17.140 None.

00:36:18.700 It's two

00:36:19.620 Democrats,

00:36:20.400 it looks

00:36:20.760 anti-science.

00:36:22.940 So,

00:36:23.460 it's one

00:36:24.000 thing to

00:36:24.400 fire up

00:36:24.900 your base

00:36:25.360 with your

00:36:25.760 anti-mask

00:36:26.440 stuff,

00:36:27.080 but it's

00:36:27.660 such a

00:36:28.280 bad look

00:36:29.160 if you're

00:36:30.100 trying to

00:36:30.840 attract any

00:36:32.840 votes from

00:36:33.280 the other

00:36:33.540 side.

00:36:34.320 So I

00:36:34.500 would say

00:36:34.740 politically,

00:36:35.480 it's a

00:36:35.860 disaster,

00:36:36.940 and I

00:36:37.240 would agree

00:36:37.600 with Malcolm

00:36:38.340 Flex's

00:36:38.860 take.

00:36:40.340 But in

00:36:41.580 terms of

00:36:42.220 your personal

00:36:43.160 opinion,

00:36:43.700 it's fine.

00:36:45.280 I know you

00:36:46.300 want to argue

00:36:47.240 with me about

00:36:47.800 the science,

00:36:49.200 the science,

00:36:50.060 the freedom of

00:36:50.700 the mass.

00:36:51.080 I'm not talking

00:36:51.520 about any of

00:36:52.000 that.

00:36:52.260 Those are all

00:36:52.660 separate

00:36:52.960 conversations.

00:36:54.040 I'm talking

00:36:54.500 about only

00:36:55.260 the politics.

00:36:57.420 The way you

00:36:58.320 look and the

00:36:59.620 way you present

00:37:00.420 yourself matters.

00:37:02.660 If you want

00:37:03.720 your person

00:37:04.240 to be in

00:37:04.740 charge,

00:37:05.540 you need

00:37:06.100 them to

00:37:06.580 put on a

00:37:07.660 good show.

00:37:09.040 The show

00:37:09.600 is part of

00:37:10.120 politics.

00:37:11.300 The form

00:37:12.460 is in

00:37:13.560 many ways

00:37:14.000 more important

00:37:14.560 than the

00:37:14.880 function.

00:37:15.840 That's how

00:37:16.240 politics works.

00:37:17.760 So I think

00:37:18.960 it's terrible

00:37:19.400 politics,

00:37:20.120 no matter

00:37:20.580 what you

00:37:20.900 think about

00:37:21.360 the science

00:37:22.260 or the

00:37:22.920 freedom of

00:37:23.720 it.

00:37:23.920 Those are

00:37:24.180 just separate

00:37:24.640 conversations.

00:37:25.200 on CNN

00:37:31.180 there's a

00:37:31.960 MSNBC

00:37:33.940 there was

00:37:35.000 an opinion

00:37:35.680 piece saying

00:37:36.440 why did

00:37:37.000 the capital

00:37:38.400 law enforcement

00:37:42.100 people,

00:37:43.040 why did

00:37:43.500 they prepare

00:37:44.160 extensively

00:37:44.820 for the

00:37:45.420 Black Lives

00:37:45.980 Matter

00:37:46.280 protests

00:37:46.860 about

00:37:47.320 George Floyd

00:37:48.320 but they

00:37:49.420 did not

00:37:50.120 prepare

00:37:50.880 extensively

00:37:51.580 for the

00:37:52.320 capital

00:37:52.800 assault

00:37:53.860 by the

00:37:54.540 Trump

00:37:54.880 supporters

00:37:55.300 and the

00:37:56.560 implication

00:37:57.180 not

00:37:58.040 implication

00:37:58.560 the direct

00:37:59.300 accusation

00:38:00.220 is that

00:38:00.620 it was

00:38:00.900 racism.

00:38:02.380 Do you

00:38:02.980 buy that?

00:38:03.960 Do you

00:38:04.180 think it

00:38:04.420 was racism

00:38:05.040 because I

00:38:05.480 guess in

00:38:05.780 both cases

00:38:06.480 they did

00:38:07.600 not have

00:38:08.380 valid

00:38:10.560 intel to

00:38:11.800 say that

00:38:12.340 either one

00:38:13.100 of them

00:38:13.360 would cause

00:38:14.020 violence,

00:38:15.660 excess

00:38:16.360 violence that

00:38:17.140 would require

00:38:17.620 a massive

00:38:18.580 presence.

00:38:19.740 There's always

00:38:20.100 a little.

00:38:21.160 So if

00:38:22.020 neither the

00:38:22.680 BLM

00:38:23.200 protests for

00:38:23.920 George Floyd

00:38:24.680 nor the

00:38:26.040 capital

00:38:27.000 protests

00:38:27.780 were meant

00:38:30.380 or at

00:38:30.960 least predicted

00:38:31.780 to become

00:38:32.540 big violent

00:38:33.500 events,

00:38:34.720 always a

00:38:35.200 little bit

00:38:35.480 of violence,

00:38:36.220 if they

00:38:36.780 weren't

00:38:37.000 predicted but

00:38:37.720 one of

00:38:38.140 them you

00:38:38.400 prepared for

00:38:39.160 and one

00:38:39.620 you didn't,

00:38:41.100 isn't that

00:38:41.520 racism?

00:38:42.980 Did you

00:38:43.640 only think

00:38:44.180 that the

00:38:44.540 BLM

00:38:45.080 protests

00:38:45.560 would get

00:38:45.940 violent

00:38:46.260 because there

00:38:47.060 would be

00:38:47.260 a lot of

00:38:47.560 black people

00:38:48.040 there?

00:38:49.160 That's a

00:38:49.500 fair question,

00:38:50.620 isn't it?

00:38:51.020 Is that

00:38:52.580 a fair

00:38:52.840 question?

00:38:54.540 No.

00:38:56.280 No, that's

00:38:57.460 not a fair

00:38:57.940 question because

00:38:59.380 there was

00:39:01.100 enough history

00:39:02.640 with Black

00:39:03.420 Lives Matter

00:39:04.160 slash Antifa

00:39:05.880 protests to

00:39:08.300 assume that

00:39:08.940 things could get

00:39:09.580 out of control,

00:39:10.320 at least

00:39:10.640 looting-wise.

00:39:12.520 What was the

00:39:13.440 track record of

00:39:14.600 Trump-related

00:39:15.800 gatherings?

00:39:16.800 zero violence

00:39:19.540 or whatever

00:39:20.620 is trivial,

00:39:21.760 right?

00:39:22.260 So if you

00:39:22.960 were making

00:39:23.340 your assumption

00:39:23.880 based on

00:39:24.440 track record,

00:39:25.940 you would

00:39:27.260 prepare differently

00:39:28.160 for those two

00:39:28.800 things,

00:39:29.440 wouldn't you?

00:39:30.340 I would.

00:39:31.520 I wouldn't

00:39:31.960 have called

00:39:32.340 it racist.

00:39:33.880 Do you

00:39:34.180 think if

00:39:34.640 there,

00:39:35.120 of course

00:39:35.640 there are,

00:39:36.180 not if,

00:39:37.340 but do you

00:39:38.420 think that

00:39:38.840 the black

00:39:40.120 law enforcement

00:39:41.140 people,

00:39:43.000 who you

00:39:43.480 should assume

00:39:44.240 would be

00:39:44.520 less racist

00:39:45.780 against black

00:39:46.580 people?

00:39:47.020 Is that a

00:39:47.380 fair assumption?

00:39:48.280 That the

00:39:48.880 black law

00:39:49.760 enforcement

00:39:50.180 people probably

00:39:51.800 agreed with

00:39:52.880 this same

00:39:53.540 standard,

00:39:54.660 that they

00:39:55.720 hadn't seen

00:39:56.360 Trump supporters

00:39:57.680 get violent

00:39:58.240 before,

00:39:59.540 they'd seen

00:40:00.340 Black Lives

00:40:01.480 Matter and

00:40:02.200 Antifa sort

00:40:03.300 of combined

00:40:03.920 protests

00:40:05.040 definitely get

00:40:05.780 out of control.

00:40:07.460 Why wouldn't

00:40:08.100 you incorporate

00:40:08.940 that in your

00:40:09.520 planning?

00:40:10.520 I don't understand

00:40:11.520 why that would

00:40:12.080 not be an

00:40:12.760 obvious thing

00:40:13.380 to incorporate.

00:40:14.820 Past pattern

00:40:15.520 seems obvious.

00:40:20.120 Senator Chris

00:40:21.120 Murphy

00:40:21.440 tweeted,

00:40:23.300 and you've

00:40:23.680 got to see

00:40:24.080 the comments

00:40:24.600 on this tweet,

00:40:25.540 it's on my

00:40:26.280 feed,

00:40:27.260 he tweeted,

00:40:27.960 I'm a

00:40:28.280 progressive

00:40:28.700 Democrat,

00:40:29.640 but I'm

00:40:30.220 friends with

00:40:30.800 Republicans.

00:40:31.740 I frequent

00:40:32.420 businesses owned

00:40:33.240 by Republicans.

00:40:34.340 I rue for

00:40:34.980 sports teams

00:40:35.680 full of

00:40:36.160 Republicans.

00:40:37.160 I've devoted

00:40:37.880 my life to

00:40:38.480 politics,

00:40:38.980 but I'm

00:40:39.460 careful to

00:40:40.020 not let my

00:40:40.620 politics consume

00:40:41.680 me.

00:40:43.000 I appreciate

00:40:43.720 this.

00:40:44.160 That's a

00:40:44.620 good statement.

00:40:45.640 That's a

00:40:46.320 good statement

00:40:47.000 of how to

00:40:48.140 keep your

00:40:48.500 politics and

00:40:49.420 your personal

00:40:50.020 life separate

00:40:51.360 and be good

00:40:52.060 to everybody

00:40:52.600 and it calls

00:40:53.380 for unity.

00:40:54.680 Man, you

00:40:55.080 should expect

00:40:55.660 that the

00:40:56.020 comments,

00:40:57.760 wouldn't the

00:40:58.280 comments on

00:40:58.860 that be pretty

00:40:59.440 good, huh?

00:41:00.560 Huh?

00:41:01.620 I mean, you'd

00:41:02.300 expect people in

00:41:03.100 the comments,

00:41:03.760 especially the

00:41:04.260 Democrats, to

00:41:04.880 say, yeah,

00:41:06.100 yeah, let's

00:41:06.840 have some unity.

00:41:08.660 Let's work

00:41:09.140 together.

00:41:09.560 But no,

00:41:12.300 instead, Democrats

00:41:13.600 flooded into this

00:41:15.060 Democrat's tweet

00:41:16.140 to tell them that

00:41:17.500 this is different

00:41:18.280 and you cannot

00:41:19.200 befriend Republicans

00:41:20.320 because it would

00:41:21.760 be, I'm putting

00:41:22.840 my own spin on

00:41:23.700 this, but

00:41:24.140 effectively they're

00:41:25.040 saying, this is

00:41:26.500 different, Republicans

00:41:27.660 are Nazis, and

00:41:29.580 you don't make

00:41:30.240 friends with

00:41:30.840 Nazis.

00:41:33.940 That's the world

00:41:34.700 we live in.

00:41:35.520 And I've got to

00:41:35.920 tell you, if you

00:41:36.980 don't read the

00:41:37.820 comments yourself,

00:41:38.660 you won't even

00:41:39.380 believe that there

00:41:40.100 are people out

00:41:40.620 there who

00:41:40.900 believe that.

00:41:41.920 Now, what

00:41:44.280 got us here?

00:41:46.060 What caused

00:41:47.100 this situation?

00:41:49.020 This is clearly

00:41:49.880 the fake news.

00:41:51.360 The fake news

00:41:52.480 plus social media

00:41:54.120 extending it.

00:41:56.320 This is a fake

00:41:57.340 news problem.

00:41:58.420 100% a fake

00:41:59.800 news problem.

00:42:01.240 And we're

00:42:01.660 letting them do

00:42:02.500 that to this

00:42:03.320 country.

00:42:04.240 The fake news

00:42:05.040 is just ripping

00:42:05.940 the country apart.

00:42:07.840 We just let it

00:42:08.500 happen.

00:42:09.180 Because, you

00:42:09.500 know, fourth

00:42:09.940 estate, yeah,

00:42:11.660 very valuable.

00:42:13.080 Got to have

00:42:13.600 that news

00:42:15.800 business.

00:42:16.720 But we lost

00:42:17.640 our news

00:42:18.060 business.

00:42:18.520 We don't have

00:42:18.900 really a news

00:42:19.720 business.

00:42:20.460 Not in the way

00:42:21.160 we used to, if

00:42:22.240 we ever did.

00:42:22.980 I don't know.

00:42:24.680 So, let's

00:42:26.100 score one for

00:42:26.780 fake news,

00:42:28.020 destroying the

00:42:28.600 country.

00:42:30.080 There's a

00:42:30.880 study of a

00:42:31.860 drug called

00:42:32.380 fluvoxamine,

00:42:34.280 vaccine, which

00:42:35.400 is used to

00:42:36.140 treat stuff

00:42:36.960 like OCD

00:42:38.020 and social

00:42:38.780 anxiety and

00:42:39.420 depression.

00:42:40.800 And apparently

00:42:41.280 in trials, it

00:42:44.260 lowered the

00:42:44.800 number of

00:42:45.160 people who

00:42:45.520 die of

00:42:46.200 COVID.

00:42:47.100 So, it's a

00:42:47.900 completely

00:42:48.260 unrelated use

00:42:49.380 because it's

00:42:49.820 not meant for

00:42:51.080 anything like

00:42:51.640 COVID.

00:42:52.800 But because it

00:42:54.100 helps regulate

00:42:55.500 the body's

00:42:56.080 inflammatory

00:42:56.760 response,

00:42:57.600 it took

00:43:03.060 the death

00:43:03.660 rate to

00:43:05.020 zero.

00:43:07.080 Zero.

00:43:08.320 In a small

00:43:08.800 trial, right?

00:43:09.880 Now, you

00:43:11.340 could certainly

00:43:11.840 complain about

00:43:12.560 the statistical

00:43:13.380 power of what

00:43:14.420 they did, but

00:43:15.800 it was big

00:43:16.540 enough that

00:43:18.560 you'd certainly

00:43:19.180 expect at

00:43:20.600 least one

00:43:21.140 person to

00:43:21.720 die.

00:43:22.820 At least

00:43:23.220 one.

00:43:23.880 Because in

00:43:24.300 the control

00:43:24.800 group, several

00:43:25.400 did.

00:43:26.120 And that's

00:43:26.480 exactly what

00:43:27.100 you'd expect.

00:43:28.120 Now, could

00:43:28.740 it be that

00:43:29.380 six people

00:43:30.660 dying in

00:43:31.180 the control

00:43:31.720 group and

00:43:32.380 zero in

00:43:33.160 the other

00:43:33.420 group, maybe

00:43:35.160 that's a

00:43:35.560 little underpowered

00:43:36.540 statistically?

00:43:38.360 I don't know.

00:43:39.160 I mean, I

00:43:39.780 don't know

00:43:40.060 enough about

00:43:40.440 this trial or

00:43:41.260 statistics to

00:43:42.220 say that.

00:43:43.260 But it

00:43:43.660 feels like

00:43:44.420 six and

00:43:46.620 zero probably

00:43:48.100 is meaningful.

00:43:49.440 Right?

00:43:49.940 So, who

00:43:51.120 knows?

00:43:51.540 We might

00:43:52.000 have an

00:43:52.700 existing drug,

00:43:53.680 which means

00:43:54.120 that it would

00:43:54.460 be easier to

00:43:55.220 get it into

00:43:55.700 the system,

00:43:56.240 get it

00:43:57.420 through.

00:43:57.700 You wouldn't

00:43:57.960 need to get

00:43:58.360 it through

00:43:58.600 FDA necessarily

00:43:59.660 because it's

00:44:00.100 already approved.

00:44:01.400 That could

00:44:02.320 lower the

00:44:03.380 death rate

00:44:04.120 to zero,

00:44:05.860 maybe.

00:44:08.200 So it's

00:44:08.820 called,

00:44:09.260 what's it

00:44:09.920 called?

00:44:14.260 Fluvoxamine.

00:44:15.980 Fluvoxamine.

00:44:16.300 So the

00:44:18.680 George Floyd

00:44:19.300 trial, speaking

00:44:20.000 of George

00:44:20.340 Floyd, is

00:44:20.800 coming, I

00:44:21.440 don't know

00:44:21.720 when, but

00:44:22.760 there's a

00:44:23.240 report that

00:44:23.640 Minneapolis,

00:44:24.320 the city, is

00:44:24.780 paying social

00:44:25.680 influencers, as

00:44:27.520 Jonathan Turley

00:44:30.000 said in a

00:44:30.560 tweet, to

00:44:31.380 spread an

00:44:31.940 approved

00:44:32.280 narrative during

00:44:33.640 the Floyd

00:44:34.040 trial.

00:44:34.940 And there's

00:44:35.360 quite a bit

00:44:35.880 of money in

00:44:36.300 it.

00:44:36.600 So they're

00:44:36.880 actually paying

00:44:37.400 people who

00:44:37.860 are not part

00:44:38.420 of the

00:44:38.640 government to

00:44:40.680 send the

00:44:41.500 approved

00:44:41.980 narrative to

00:44:44.180 the world.

00:44:45.720 Now, I

00:44:46.160 have two

00:44:46.540 thoughts on

00:44:47.380 this.

00:44:47.600 Number one,

00:44:49.040 as a

00:44:49.480 communication

00:44:49.960 strategy, it's

00:44:50.880 pretty good.

00:44:51.900 Because apparently

00:44:52.800 if you can get

00:44:53.820 to, say, some

00:44:54.820 big Twitter

00:44:55.880 accounts, they

00:44:57.440 can spread the

00:44:58.220 news more

00:44:58.860 efficiently than,

00:44:59.840 say, the

00:45:00.080 news could.

00:45:01.060 Because not

00:45:01.500 everybody watches

00:45:02.260 the news, but

00:45:03.680 if you get the

00:45:04.180 right social

00:45:04.780 influencers, they

00:45:05.720 can get all

00:45:06.560 these nooks and

00:45:07.240 crannies of

00:45:08.820 people who are

00:45:09.420 not following

00:45:10.100 mainstream stuff.

00:45:11.800 So as a

00:45:12.760 communication

00:45:13.180 strategy, I

00:45:14.180 like it.

00:45:16.400 But can

00:45:19.120 you see any

00:45:19.640 reason that

00:45:21.060 the government

00:45:21.580 would need to

00:45:22.380 control the

00:45:24.680 news on this

00:45:25.320 story?

00:45:26.660 Now, one

00:45:28.680 must always be

00:45:29.480 careful that you

00:45:30.780 are not the

00:45:31.320 one who is

00:45:31.740 experiencing

00:45:32.300 cognitive

00:45:33.100 dissonance and

00:45:34.080 or confirmation

00:45:34.880 bias.

00:45:35.800 The reason those

00:45:36.660 things exist and

00:45:38.200 are widespread is

00:45:39.600 that if it's

00:45:40.060 happening to

00:45:40.560 you, you're the

00:45:41.780 only one who

00:45:42.240 can't tell.

00:45:42.740 other people

00:45:44.260 might be able to

00:45:44.920 tell that you're

00:45:45.600 hallucinating, but

00:45:46.460 when it happens to

00:45:47.200 you, by

00:45:48.480 definition, they

00:45:49.520 are your own

00:45:50.140 hallucination, so

00:45:51.020 you can't tell.

00:45:51.960 You think it's

00:45:52.520 real.

00:45:54.480 What is your

00:45:55.260 take on the

00:45:55.960 George Floyd

00:45:56.600 thing and what's

00:45:57.540 going to happen

00:45:58.100 at the trial?

00:45:58.780 I don't know if

00:46:01.060 I'm suffering from

00:46:03.420 confirmation bias and

00:46:04.780 cognitive dissonance

00:46:05.900 on this story, but

00:46:08.100 I've seen all the

00:46:08.840 video, I've seen

00:46:10.300 all the reporting,

00:46:11.560 and my opinion is

00:46:13.160 that I could be in

00:46:14.160 cognitive dissonance

00:46:15.200 and I could be

00:46:16.400 experiencing

00:46:16.960 confirmation bias.

00:46:18.580 Very possible.

00:46:20.320 Very possible.

00:46:21.840 Don't rule that

00:46:22.640 out.

00:46:22.920 But my strong

00:46:24.640 impression, which

00:46:26.160 could be totally

00:46:26.780 wrong, is that

00:46:28.240 there isn't any

00:46:28.920 chance that the

00:46:29.900 cop involved, the

00:46:31.620 main cop who is

00:46:33.240 kneeling on the

00:46:34.160 neck, will get

00:46:35.520 convicted of

00:46:36.240 anything murderish.

00:46:38.900 Do you think so?

00:46:40.560 Did you see

00:46:41.440 anything that would

00:46:42.140 suggest he would be

00:46:43.020 convicted of murder

00:46:44.020 that wasn't

00:46:44.980 obviously fake news?

00:46:47.060 Right.

00:46:47.720 Because we know

00:46:48.440 they had enough

00:46:49.960 fentanyl in him to

00:46:51.640 make that at least

00:46:52.820 a likely cause of

00:46:54.120 death.

00:46:55.720 If you're on the

00:46:56.660 jury and somebody

00:46:58.360 tells you, well,

00:46:59.660 yes, he did have

00:47:00.620 drugs in him that

00:47:01.360 probably were going

00:47:02.160 to kill him any

00:47:02.860 minute, but really

00:47:04.460 it was the knee on

00:47:05.320 the neck that killed

00:47:06.040 him, what kind of

00:47:08.160 vote do you do?

00:47:09.560 Do you vote that

00:47:10.260 guy guilty?

00:47:11.240 If there are two

00:47:11.900 causes of death, one

00:47:13.580 you know would kill

00:47:14.420 him for sure, and

00:47:15.980 the other one, it's

00:47:16.660 hard to imagine it

00:47:17.480 could kill him, but

00:47:18.900 it sort of looked

00:47:19.640 like it on the

00:47:20.200 video, but it's

00:47:20.900 hard to imagine

00:47:21.460 how it would, but

00:47:23.080 one of them

00:47:23.540 definitely would

00:47:24.140 kill him.

00:47:25.680 How in the world

00:47:26.820 do you get 12

00:47:28.240 people on the jury

00:47:29.040 to convict that

00:47:29.840 guy?

00:47:30.720 Now, he may be

00:47:31.580 guilty of any

00:47:32.900 number of lesser

00:47:33.940 police procedure

00:47:36.100 violations.

00:47:38.000 I wouldn't be

00:47:38.620 surprised if

00:47:39.800 everything he did

00:47:40.740 was a violation

00:47:41.520 of police procedure.

00:47:42.860 I wouldn't know.

00:47:44.140 Would you?

00:47:45.980 But murder?

00:47:48.640 I don't think

00:47:49.120 there's any

00:47:49.500 chance.

00:47:50.620 So what we're

00:47:52.000 seeing here is

00:47:52.640 that the state,

00:47:53.920 in this case

00:47:54.560 the Minneapolis,

00:47:57.180 probably knows

00:47:59.480 that something

00:48:03.000 illegitimate is

00:48:04.260 happening, and

00:48:05.540 they need to

00:48:06.120 manage how we

00:48:07.220 think about it.

00:48:09.620 Interesting, isn't

00:48:10.380 it?

00:48:11.080 Yeah, it looks

00:48:11.600 like he was

00:48:12.060 overcharged, and

00:48:13.440 that's going to

00:48:14.120 cause a problem.

00:48:15.980 I saw a lot

00:48:20.600 of talk, people

00:48:21.540 were asking me

00:48:22.060 about Christy

00:48:22.680 Noem, Governor

00:48:23.920 Noem, and that

00:48:25.180 she was a star

00:48:25.920 at the CPAC, and

00:48:26.900 maybe she'll run

00:48:28.300 for president.

00:48:29.300 But I will

00:48:29.960 reiterate, as long

00:48:31.060 as Trump looks

00:48:32.000 like he's going

00:48:32.620 to run, and he

00:48:33.280 does, it doesn't

00:48:34.320 matter what any

00:48:34.960 of the other

00:48:35.380 Republicans are

00:48:36.600 doing or saying.

00:48:37.960 But I'll give

00:48:38.660 you my take on

00:48:39.680 Christy Noem as

00:48:40.720 a, let's say,

00:48:42.520 as a star-power

00:48:44.280 Republican.

00:48:46.200 I can see it.

00:48:48.020 I can see it.

00:48:49.260 She definitely

00:48:49.760 has that X

00:48:50.620 factor thing that

00:48:51.760 makes people, you

00:48:53.120 know, want to pay

00:48:53.740 attention.

00:48:54.500 If we pretend her

00:48:56.120 physicality has

00:48:57.580 nothing to do

00:48:58.280 with it, we're

00:48:58.880 just being stupid,

00:49:00.780 because obviously

00:49:01.660 it does.

00:49:02.740 You know, if I

00:49:05.280 say anything on

00:49:06.160 this topic, somebody

00:49:07.760 in the comments

00:49:08.480 will say, Scott's

00:49:10.040 in love with

00:49:10.900 Christy Noem, and

00:49:13.000 then I have to

00:49:13.500 block you, because

00:49:14.220 you're just in

00:49:14.700 high school, and

00:49:15.600 I'd like adults to

00:49:16.640 be here.

00:49:18.160 But you can't

00:49:19.020 ignore it as, it's

00:49:20.080 just an obvious

00:49:20.740 factor.

00:49:21.680 You know, people's

00:49:22.840 physicality just

00:49:24.100 matters.

00:49:25.300 It matters.

00:49:26.880 You know, she

00:49:27.340 has probably the

00:49:28.160 most well-developed

00:49:29.260 arms I've ever

00:49:30.320 seen on a human

00:49:31.180 being.

00:49:32.340 It matters.

00:49:34.040 It matters, right?

00:49:36.160 But she's a

00:49:37.820 little low energy.

00:49:38.720 That's what I got

00:49:41.420 from her speech.

00:49:43.480 Her wattage is a

00:49:45.880 little lower than

00:49:47.740 maybe it would take

00:49:48.600 to get elected.

00:49:50.000 Now, maybe she can

00:49:50.760 raise that wattage

00:49:51.800 with some practice

00:49:53.280 and effort.

00:49:53.760 I don't know.

00:49:54.700 But I would say

00:49:55.340 maybe not quite the

00:49:56.920 energy needed, but

00:49:58.560 she'd be a strong

00:49:59.320 candidate.

00:50:00.260 I mean, certainly

00:50:00.880 she'd have.

00:50:02.440 If Trump were not

00:50:03.980 in the race, she'd

00:50:07.000 be pretty strong,

00:50:07.660 because I can't

00:50:08.360 think of a

00:50:08.800 negative against

00:50:09.620 her, except the

00:50:12.060 Democrats wouldn't

00:50:12.900 like her mask

00:50:13.660 policy, but I

00:50:14.600 don't know.

00:50:15.000 I think she could

00:50:15.620 survive that because

00:50:17.340 the state did okay,

00:50:19.160 relatively speaking.

00:50:21.840 Yeah, applause was

00:50:22.580 high and Republicans

00:50:24.560 like her, but none

00:50:25.680 of it's relevant as

00:50:26.540 long as Trump is

00:50:27.700 likely to be in the

00:50:29.500 race.

00:50:30.140 Nobody has a chance

00:50:31.120 against him.

00:50:32.400 All right.

00:50:34.160 So, Governor

00:50:35.200 Cuomo apparently is

00:50:37.580 going to appoint a

00:50:38.280 judge to look at

00:50:39.120 the sexual harassment

00:50:41.380 allegations against

00:50:42.480 him, but he picks

00:50:43.740 somebody who's an

00:50:44.420 insider, somebody

00:50:46.080 who has enough of

00:50:47.380 a connection to

00:50:48.140 Cuomo that nobody

00:50:49.500 in the world would

00:50:50.160 trust the result if

00:50:51.320 it came out good for

00:50:52.200 him.

00:50:53.140 So, the fix is in

00:50:54.540 on that.

00:50:57.600 And watching CNN

00:50:58.840 have to cover this

00:50:59.800 story, because at

00:51:00.480 this point, even

00:51:01.400 they're covering it,

00:51:02.880 is the story within

00:51:05.280 the story.

00:51:05.880 It's better than

00:51:06.620 the story.

00:51:08.220 Over in Portland,

00:51:10.240 direct action, the

00:51:11.380 rioters are still

00:51:12.460 rioting.

00:51:14.520 And they were

00:51:15.900 shouting slogans and

00:51:17.560 graffiting things like

00:51:19.000 no kids in cages.

00:51:21.140 So, and they spray

00:51:22.180 painted ICE field

00:51:24.340 office.

00:51:25.580 So, I guess Biden

00:51:26.920 did not stop the

00:51:28.180 protests about the

00:51:29.800 kids in cages, but we'll

00:51:31.940 see if that goes

00:51:32.700 anywhere.

00:51:38.120 How in the world

00:51:38.980 does Cuomo get to

00:51:40.120 pick a judge to look

00:51:41.220 into his

00:51:41.700 malefisence?

00:51:43.740 Yeah, yeah, how in

00:51:45.120 the world?

00:51:46.740 Obviously, it looks

00:51:47.480 like an inside job,

00:51:48.580 but we'll find out

00:51:49.840 what happens.

00:51:51.740 And I will leave you

00:51:53.260 on this following

00:51:54.800 thought.

00:51:57.080 If we had a real

00:51:58.760 leader in this

00:51:59.860 country, here's

00:52:01.560 something that real

00:52:02.580 leader would be

00:52:03.620 telling us.

00:52:05.020 Hey, country, here

00:52:06.620 are the statistics

00:52:07.520 for private schools

00:52:10.540 that stayed open in

00:52:12.420 the same general

00:52:13.200 area as the public

00:52:14.700 schools that did

00:52:15.580 not.

00:52:16.620 And here are the

00:52:17.400 virus outcomes for

00:52:19.300 those private schools

00:52:20.340 and their families.

00:52:21.900 And now you've got

00:52:22.840 something to look

00:52:23.540 at.

00:52:24.340 So, when you're

00:52:25.020 deciding to open the

00:52:25.920 public schools, you

00:52:26.800 can look at the

00:52:27.680 private ones and say,

00:52:28.600 how'd they do?

00:52:29.700 And that would be

00:52:30.620 not a perfect

00:52:32.420 analogy, because

00:52:33.460 the private schools

00:52:34.780 might have more

00:52:35.460 resources, might

00:52:36.780 have richer kids, so

00:52:38.340 you've got a

00:52:38.700 different infection

00:52:39.480 level, etc.

00:52:40.680 But it would tell

00:52:41.520 you something.

00:52:42.720 It would tell you

00:52:43.280 something important.

00:52:44.420 So, for example, if

00:52:45.260 it told you that the

00:52:46.220 private schools had

00:52:47.400 lots of infections,

00:52:49.460 well, then you

00:52:50.140 should keep your

00:52:50.680 public schools

00:52:51.240 closed.

00:52:52.260 Maybe.

00:52:53.400 Right?

00:52:53.860 Depending on the

00:52:54.560 level.

00:52:54.800 But where is the

00:52:57.420 leader just telling

00:52:58.540 us that statistic?

00:53:00.640 Because it's our

00:53:01.560 biggest question,

00:53:02.520 isn't it?

00:53:03.040 It affects everything

00:53:03.920 from the economy to

00:53:05.140 your mental health to

00:53:06.380 your...

00:53:06.920 just everything.

00:53:08.160 It's the biggest

00:53:08.880 question, putting kids

00:53:09.960 back in school.

00:53:11.000 And the biggest data

00:53:12.860 point would be one

00:53:14.740 we have, I would

00:53:15.600 imagine, or we could

00:53:16.600 get, which is private

00:53:18.280 schools.

00:53:19.240 How'd they do?

00:53:20.360 And also some public

00:53:21.480 schools that did

00:53:22.640 remain open or have

00:53:23.860 partially open, how'd

00:53:25.540 they do?

00:53:27.140 Wouldn't your leader,

00:53:28.360 if you had one, just

00:53:30.540 tell you that statistic

00:53:31.660 or tell you what's

00:53:32.700 wrong with it or maybe

00:53:33.880 we need to collect

00:53:34.640 more or something?

00:53:35.420 There might be some

00:53:36.060 context that's

00:53:37.260 important.

00:53:38.320 But why are we not

00:53:39.080 being told that?

00:53:41.520 I feel as if I could

00:53:43.200 be a better president

00:53:44.220 on day one.

00:53:46.260 Let me tell you how

00:53:47.300 I would be president

00:53:48.340 or governor if you

00:53:49.420 imagine me running

00:53:50.480 California.

00:53:51.660 I would do it the

00:53:52.180 same way.

00:53:53.420 When people said to

00:53:54.800 me, okay, Scott,

00:53:55.720 you're running for

00:53:56.340 office, what's your

00:53:57.600 opinion on policy X?

00:54:00.680 And I would say the

00:54:01.480 same thing for every

00:54:02.380 policy.

00:54:03.360 Tell you what, when

00:54:04.640 I'm elected, I'll

00:54:06.080 have the best

00:54:07.160 proponents of each

00:54:09.580 strategy for each

00:54:11.280 policy, debate in

00:54:13.800 public with me as

00:54:15.420 the host, I will cut

00:54:17.140 them off and stop

00:54:18.000 them when they're

00:54:18.520 saying ridiculous

00:54:19.440 things, and I will

00:54:21.180 let you, the

00:54:21.780 public, watch me

00:54:23.620 interrogate both

00:54:24.600 sides and come to a

00:54:25.720 decision right in

00:54:27.120 front of you.

00:54:28.060 And I'll iterate it

00:54:29.320 so you might even see

00:54:30.620 my opinion evolve as

00:54:33.040 I've pushed back and

00:54:33.980 got more information.

00:54:35.500 So I won't tell you

00:54:36.420 what any of my

00:54:37.160 policies will be.

00:54:38.600 I'll tell you what my

00:54:39.580 system will be, and

00:54:41.160 you can watch it in

00:54:42.260 real time.

00:54:43.740 You just watch it.

00:54:44.540 who would you vote

00:54:47.060 for?

00:54:48.320 Now, I've told you

00:54:48.980 before that I could

00:54:50.020 get elected president

00:54:51.040 or governor.

00:54:52.380 That's how.

00:54:53.680 That's how.

00:54:54.640 Now, you say to me,

00:54:55.420 but Scott, what about

00:54:57.200 your personal life and

00:54:58.560 all those things you

00:55:00.440 did or they'll say you

00:55:01.740 did or those statements

00:55:03.720 you made on social

00:55:04.980 media 20 years ago

00:55:06.280 and they sounded

00:55:07.480 sexist when you said

00:55:08.640 them because they're

00:55:09.360 out of context, of

00:55:10.240 course.

00:55:11.080 There weren't actually

00:55:11.940 any sexist remarks,

00:55:12.980 and a context you

00:55:14.080 could imagine that

00:55:14.740 they were.

00:55:16.020 What about all that?

00:55:17.300 Won't they take you

00:55:18.080 down?

00:55:18.860 Well, here's what I

00:55:19.640 would do with all

00:55:20.200 that.

00:55:21.120 I would say, just

00:55:21.860 assume it's all true.

00:55:23.540 Just assume that

00:55:24.420 whatever bad thing you

00:55:25.560 think I did or said,

00:55:27.220 just assume it's all

00:55:28.080 true.

00:55:29.340 And if I'm still not

00:55:30.480 the best candidate,

00:55:31.540 even if you think all

00:55:32.440 that's true, don't

00:55:33.920 vote for me.

00:55:35.000 I'd still get elected.

00:55:36.660 Because I would just

00:55:37.500 say, I'm not going to

00:55:38.720 waste time on that.

00:55:40.180 If you want to

00:55:40.680 believe it's true,

00:55:41.360 go ahead.

00:55:41.780 I still have the

00:55:43.060 only system that

00:55:43.920 makes sense.

00:55:45.620 I'm running against

00:55:46.680 a moron.

00:55:48.060 I'm running against

00:55:49.320 a moron.

00:55:50.640 If I've said some

00:55:51.780 bad things on social

00:55:52.820 media, count that

00:55:54.980 against me.

00:55:56.460 But did I mention,

00:55:57.500 I'm running against

00:55:58.260 a moron.

00:55:59.900 I'm running against

00:56:00.720 a moron.

00:56:02.520 I said some bad

00:56:03.740 things you think,

00:56:04.720 but of course they're

00:56:05.500 just taken out of

00:56:06.180 context.

00:56:07.180 Throw it all in

00:56:08.080 there.

00:56:09.100 Just say it's all

00:56:10.220 true.

00:56:10.520 Of course it's

00:56:11.740 not true.

00:56:12.380 But just say it

00:56:13.020 is.

00:56:14.740 I'm still the best

00:56:15.840 candidate.

00:56:16.880 It's not even

00:56:17.740 close.

00:56:19.120 It's not close.

00:56:20.400 Right?

00:56:21.420 Now you said that's

00:56:22.480 Perot's strategy,

00:56:23.720 but he didn't

00:56:25.280 implement it right.

00:56:27.020 He did not say,

00:56:28.920 I'm going to argue

00:56:29.460 it in public.

00:56:30.700 He was more about

00:56:31.780 the data and not

00:56:33.580 being political and

00:56:34.560 stuff.

00:56:34.820 And that was good

00:56:35.380 as far as it went.

00:56:37.360 But he didn't have

00:56:38.180 the persuasion

00:56:39.080 skills that I do.

00:56:40.620 And if he did,

00:56:41.420 he probably would

00:56:42.020 have been president.

00:56:43.200 But running as a

00:56:44.120 third party doesn't

00:56:44.880 work.

00:56:45.540 If I ran for office,

00:56:46.540 I would run as

00:56:47.660 what?

00:56:50.860 What would I run

00:56:51.740 as?

00:56:54.100 Let me ask you.

00:56:55.660 If I ran for

00:56:56.700 major office,

00:56:57.600 what party would I

00:56:58.640 run as?

00:56:59.780 I just want to

00:57:00.640 say what you

00:57:02.700 think.

00:57:02.960 Somebody says

00:57:03.580 independent,

00:57:04.320 wrong.

00:57:05.160 So it's definitely

00:57:06.020 not independent,

00:57:06.760 because you

00:57:07.760 wouldn't get

00:57:08.100 elected.

00:57:08.600 There would be

00:57:08.860 no point.

00:57:10.700 I'm just

00:57:11.120 looking at your

00:57:11.580 answers.

00:57:13.180 Most are saying

00:57:14.220 Democrat.

00:57:14.880 Some are saying

00:57:15.380 Republican.

00:57:16.820 Some are saying

00:57:17.680 Republican,

00:57:18.580 Republican,

00:57:19.340 left to Bernie,

00:57:20.320 Whig Party,

00:57:21.840 Libertarian,

00:57:22.580 Realist.

00:57:23.320 No, the only

00:57:24.780 ones that make

00:57:25.260 sense are Democrat

00:57:26.000 and Republican,

00:57:27.340 because that's the

00:57:27.980 only way you can

00:57:28.520 get elected in

00:57:29.240 this country,

00:57:29.740 I mean,

00:57:30.300 realistically,

00:57:31.660 at least for

00:57:32.660 president.

00:57:33.580 So it'd have to

00:57:34.300 be one of those.

00:57:35.740 Which one would

00:57:36.340 I run on?

00:57:37.240 Just think in

00:57:37.860 terms of strategy.

00:57:39.920 I would run as

00:57:40.840 a Democrat.

00:57:42.480 I would run as

00:57:43.360 a Democrat.

00:57:44.580 Do you know

00:57:45.160 why?

00:57:47.760 Same reason

00:57:48.480 Trump ran as

00:57:49.220 a Republican,

00:57:50.340 to fix

00:57:51.420 Republicans.

00:57:53.380 Trump actually

00:57:54.360 fixed,

00:57:55.580 he fixed the

00:57:56.460 Republican Party

00:57:57.360 by giving it,

00:57:58.680 you know,

00:57:58.960 an identity that

00:57:59.940 could win,

00:58:00.480 at least in

00:58:00.840 2016,

00:58:02.060 and a set of

00:58:03.220 policies that,

00:58:04.240 even though the

00:58:04.800 other team

00:58:05.240 hated them,

00:58:06.320 they were at

00:58:06.780 least clear.

00:58:08.440 Clear and

00:58:09.160 simple leadership,

00:58:10.220 even if you

00:58:10.720 don't like it.

00:58:11.760 It was clear and

00:58:12.620 simple,

00:58:13.020 and it was

00:58:13.320 definitely

00:58:13.800 leadership.

00:58:15.240 Definitely

00:58:15.720 leadership,

00:58:16.680 even if you

00:58:17.160 didn't like it.

00:58:18.640 So,

00:58:19.340 the Democrats

00:58:20.860 don't have that

00:58:21.680 person.

00:58:23.060 They don't have

00:58:23.700 anybody to tell

00:58:24.780 them they're

00:58:25.480 messed up.

00:58:27.460 Because,

00:58:28.380 and that's what

00:58:28.960 Trump did.

00:58:30.000 Trump was as

00:58:30.920 critical,

00:58:32.100 nah,

00:58:32.320 that's not

00:58:32.680 true.

00:58:32.880 But he

00:58:33.060 was very

00:58:33.380 critical of

00:58:34.080 standard

00:58:34.580 Republicans.

00:58:36.280 You know,

00:58:36.540 you're not

00:58:37.000 seeing as

00:58:37.780 much of

00:58:38.200 that.

00:58:38.600 They're a

00:58:38.860 little bit

00:58:39.120 the progressives

00:58:39.920 getting on

00:58:41.180 Biden a little

00:58:41.700 bit.

00:58:42.540 But,

00:58:43.240 if I ran

00:58:44.360 as a

00:58:44.680 Republican,

00:58:45.320 I would

00:58:45.640 get only

00:58:46.120 Republican

00:58:46.680 votes.

00:58:47.500 Would you

00:58:47.860 agree?

00:58:48.880 If I ran

00:58:49.680 as a

00:58:50.020 Republican,

00:58:51.000 the best I

00:58:52.240 could do

00:58:52.740 is to get

00:58:53.840 only Republican

00:58:54.600 votes.

00:58:56.680 If I ran

00:58:57.420 as a Democrat,

00:58:59.300 knowing that I

00:59:00.540 have said as

00:59:01.200 many good

00:59:01.620 things as

00:59:02.020 I have

00:59:02.320 about

00:59:02.600 Trump's

00:59:03.320 process,

00:59:05.140 his system,

00:59:06.000 his persuasion,

00:59:06.880 his way of

00:59:07.740 achieving things,

00:59:09.080 don't you

00:59:09.520 think I

00:59:09.840 could get

00:59:10.220 some

00:59:10.860 Republicans?

00:59:13.460 Of course

00:59:14.040 I could.

00:59:15.120 Absolutely,

00:59:15.720 I could get

00:59:16.160 some Republicans.

00:59:17.340 How many

00:59:17.760 independents

00:59:18.820 could I

00:59:19.620 get?

00:59:20.920 Most of

00:59:21.560 them.

00:59:22.960 I would

00:59:23.800 sweep the

00:59:24.280 independents.

00:59:25.860 So all I

00:59:26.420 would need to

00:59:27.040 do is run

00:59:27.520 as a

00:59:27.840 Democrat,

00:59:28.480 because I

00:59:28.840 genuinely have

00:59:29.640 Democrat

00:59:30.260 let's say

00:59:31.540 objectives.

00:59:35.840 I have

00:59:36.480 Democrat

00:59:36.940 objectives,

00:59:38.660 but I

00:59:39.080 have a

00:59:39.580 Republican

00:59:40.360 leaning

00:59:41.020 approach to

00:59:42.580 how to

00:59:42.860 get there.

00:59:44.240 Systems.

00:59:46.140 Transparency

00:59:46.660 and systems.

00:59:48.340 I would

00:59:48.860 tell you that

00:59:49.420 the election

00:59:49.900 system needs

00:59:50.600 to be

00:59:50.960 transparent,

00:59:51.740 and it

00:59:52.080 isn't.

00:59:52.960 And that

00:59:53.320 would be a

00:59:53.700 top priority

00:59:54.300 to fix it.

00:59:56.620 Now if I

00:59:57.220 looked into

00:59:57.680 it and found

00:59:58.100 out it's

00:59:58.560 actually quite

00:59:59.660 transparent and

01:00:00.560 fine the way

01:00:01.060 it is,

01:00:01.420 I'd tell you.

01:00:02.440 But I'd

01:00:03.000 look into it

01:00:03.700 right in

01:00:04.540 front of you.

01:00:05.640 I would

01:00:06.020 look into it

01:00:06.680 right in

01:00:07.280 front of you.

01:00:07.880 I would

01:00:08.120 call the

01:00:08.460 experts in

01:00:09.100 and I

01:00:09.300 would say,

01:00:10.260 is our

01:00:11.080 election

01:00:11.540 system fair?

01:00:13.220 One would

01:00:13.720 say yes,

01:00:14.480 one would

01:00:14.920 say not

01:00:15.440 so sure.

01:00:16.380 Then I'd

01:00:16.800 ask the

01:00:17.100 one who

01:00:17.360 said yes,

01:00:18.640 what

01:00:18.880 percentage

01:00:19.520 of the

01:00:20.360 entire

01:00:20.820 process of

01:00:21.640 an election

01:00:22.060 from getting

01:00:23.680 a ballot

01:00:24.160 to the

01:00:25.260 final count,

01:00:26.020 what percentage

01:00:27.180 of that

01:00:27.500 total

01:00:27.780 process is

01:00:28.620 transparent

01:00:29.280 now?

01:00:30.520 What would

01:00:31.100 they say?

01:00:32.600 10%?

01:00:33.660 Only the

01:00:34.360 things we

01:00:34.740 audit?

01:00:36.240 90%?

01:00:37.000 I have no

01:00:37.380 idea.

01:00:38.080 I have no

01:00:38.960 idea how

01:00:39.540 transparent it

01:00:40.300 is.

01:00:41.480 Neither do

01:00:42.000 you.

01:00:42.600 I know it's

01:00:43.020 not transparent

01:00:43.640 to me,

01:00:44.620 but I wonder

01:00:45.220 if experts

01:00:46.080 do know it's

01:00:46.760 more transparent

01:00:47.460 and we just

01:00:47.900 don't know

01:00:48.280 it.

01:00:49.320 So imagine

01:00:51.320 this proposition.

01:00:53.460 I don't care

01:00:54.540 about Republicans,

01:00:55.460 I don't care

01:00:56.260 about Democrats,

01:00:57.400 I'd run as

01:00:58.100 a Democrat.

01:00:59.340 I would do

01:00:59.880 every discussion

01:01:01.460 publicly and I

01:01:02.540 would iterate

01:01:03.000 them, not just

01:01:03.760 once, because

01:01:05.000 you do it once

01:01:05.660 and you end up

01:01:06.260 with a bunch

01:01:06.640 of questions.

01:01:07.780 You've got to

01:01:08.160 do it a second

01:01:08.680 time to get

01:01:09.200 the questions

01:01:09.640 answered.

01:01:10.520 Maybe a third

01:01:11.140 time, maybe

01:01:11.720 you do it six

01:01:12.920 times a year

01:01:13.480 per topic.

01:01:15.020 But it's the

01:01:15.640 only way to do

01:01:16.240 it.

01:01:16.980 And having

01:01:17.440 closed-door

01:01:18.740 meetings where

01:01:20.660 the citizens

01:01:21.600 don't know what

01:01:22.360 I'm saying to

01:01:23.060 either my staff

01:01:24.040 or to, let's

01:01:27.220 say, a foreign

01:01:27.700 leader, I'm

01:01:29.720 not sure we

01:01:30.200 need those.

01:01:31.300 Do we?

01:01:32.960 Now you say

01:01:33.700 to yourself,

01:01:34.240 what about all

01:01:34.720 our secrets and

01:01:35.760 secret negotiations

01:01:36.780 and stuff?

01:01:38.200 I feel maybe you

01:01:39.220 could do that

01:01:39.780 without the

01:01:40.340 president being

01:01:41.340 in the room,

01:01:42.160 right?

01:01:43.160 Maybe a

01:01:43.980 secretary of

01:01:45.220 state does

01:01:45.680 that, maybe

01:01:46.360 your generals

01:01:47.200 do that behind

01:01:48.240 the scenes.

01:01:48.800 if there's

01:01:50.120 any stuff

01:01:50.580 that the

01:01:51.380 public genuinely

01:01:52.280 should not

01:01:53.000 see, and

01:01:54.100 there is,

01:01:55.280 maybe the

01:01:55.720 president shouldn't

01:01:56.400 be the one

01:01:57.120 actively doing

01:02:00.520 that in a

01:02:01.260 meeting.

01:02:02.900 So I

01:02:05.120 believe that

01:02:05.580 proposition would

01:02:07.520 make me

01:02:08.040 president or

01:02:09.120 governor.

01:02:09.960 I would just

01:02:10.820 have to present

01:02:11.620 it and say,

01:02:13.000 look, if you

01:02:14.220 want to know

01:02:14.620 how I approach

01:02:16.520 problems, I

01:02:17.340 wrote three

01:02:17.860 books, just

01:02:19.600 look at my

01:02:20.020 books.

01:02:20.900 That doesn't

01:02:21.680 mean I'm

01:02:22.180 smarter than

01:02:22.780 you, it

01:02:24.040 just means you

01:02:24.640 will know

01:02:24.920 exactly how I

01:02:25.880 would approach

01:02:26.360 a problem.

01:02:27.320 I do A-B

01:02:28.020 testing, lots

01:02:29.520 of transparency,

01:02:31.640 I would make

01:02:32.140 sure that I

01:02:32.660 challenge people's

01:02:33.700 positions in

01:02:34.540 public, so you

01:02:35.340 can see it, and

01:02:36.660 then I would make

01:02:37.220 decisions that

01:02:38.340 gave us the

01:02:39.000 best system,

01:02:41.160 loving the

01:02:41.900 Republicans,

01:02:43.060 with the best

01:02:44.120 objective,

01:02:46.460 loving the

01:02:47.080 Democrats.

01:02:48.780 So the best

01:02:49.680 objective is that

01:02:50.540 everybody in the

01:02:51.100 United States has

01:02:52.120 adequate, affordable

01:02:54.420 health care.

01:02:55.840 Does anybody

01:02:56.540 disagree with

01:02:57.160 that?

01:02:57.640 I know there's

01:02:58.280 some people who

01:02:58.760 disagree that the

01:02:59.440 government should be

01:03:00.180 involved.

01:03:01.000 That's a fair

01:03:01.560 statement.

01:03:02.920 But does anybody

01:03:03.620 disagree with, if

01:03:05.620 you had a way to

01:03:06.780 do it, that

01:03:08.340 worked for

01:03:08.860 everybody, wouldn't

01:03:10.320 you like to have

01:03:11.200 everybody have high

01:03:12.000 quality, affordable

01:03:12.880 insurance for

01:03:14.100 health care?

01:03:14.540 Of course.

01:03:15.960 So I would

01:03:16.520 give the best

01:03:17.040 system that

01:03:17.680 would get you

01:03:18.040 the closest to

01:03:19.080 it, knowing

01:03:20.480 that there are

01:03:21.380 good ways to do

01:03:22.140 it and bad ways

01:03:22.820 to do it.

01:03:23.320 But I'd take the

01:03:23.980 system that got you

01:03:24.660 the closest, and I

01:03:27.080 would do it in

01:03:27.540 public, right in

01:03:28.320 front of you.

01:03:31.860 Am I bored?

01:03:33.280 You know, I'm

01:03:34.560 bored by the news,

01:03:35.740 because the news

01:03:36.320 got uninteresting when

01:03:37.520 Trump left.

01:03:38.520 But I have to say,

01:03:39.740 can I do a little

01:03:40.440 poll here with my

01:03:42.060 viewers?

01:03:44.820 With Trump mostly

01:03:46.720 off the stage,

01:03:47.640 although today he'll

01:03:48.420 be back on the

01:03:49.020 stage at CPAC, but

01:03:50.400 with Trump mostly

01:03:51.500 out of the news,

01:03:53.340 you would agree that

01:03:54.320 the news got

01:03:54.980 completely boring,

01:03:56.100 right?

01:03:57.860 Right?

01:03:58.740 Because he was

01:03:59.480 really the energy

01:04:00.300 that made everything

01:04:01.160 fun to talk about,

01:04:02.300 even if you didn't

01:04:02.980 like it.

01:04:05.020 So there's that.

01:04:07.140 But here's the

01:04:09.880 second part, and

01:04:10.780 here's the question

01:04:11.400 I want to ask, so

01:04:12.380 I guess these

01:04:13.080 questions will get

01:04:13.740 mixed up, I won't

01:04:14.580 know which one

01:04:15.120 you're answering.

01:04:16.760 Don't you also

01:04:17.640 feel more relaxed?

01:04:21.040 Because I feel as

01:04:22.040 though some amazing

01:04:23.380 pressure has been

01:04:24.480 lifted from me.

01:04:26.740 That while if you

01:04:27.660 gave me a choice,

01:04:28.540 I would say, yeah,

01:04:29.460 I kind of like the

01:04:31.040 Trump energy, and

01:04:32.620 if you said, who

01:04:33.420 would I like to be

01:04:34.220 President Biden or

01:04:35.960 Trump, I would

01:04:36.620 pick Trump.

01:04:37.140 But if I'm being

01:04:39.280 honest, my mental

01:04:42.200 health is way

01:04:43.880 better.

01:04:45.560 Is anybody having

01:04:46.580 this experience,

01:04:47.880 that their mental

01:04:49.020 health is better

01:04:49.860 because there's

01:04:52.240 an amount of

01:04:53.000 conflict that

01:04:55.580 Trump brings just

01:04:56.480 with his energy

01:04:57.220 that's just always

01:04:58.780 there.

01:04:59.220 It's like this

01:04:59.660 baseline tension.

01:05:04.540 Right?

01:05:05.060 And I'm looking at

01:05:06.060 now your answer is

01:05:06.760 coming in.

01:05:07.440 Somebody's saying

01:05:08.020 yes to both.

01:05:08.820 So good.

01:05:09.220 I know that the

01:05:09.700 answers now are to

01:05:10.560 the second question.

01:05:12.180 So some people are

01:05:13.180 saying they're more

01:05:13.720 scared.

01:05:14.740 I would argue that

01:05:15.820 that's a fake news

01:05:17.920 effect.

01:05:19.780 If you're more

01:05:21.220 afraid under Biden,

01:05:23.480 as in it's like the

01:05:24.680 end of the

01:05:25.300 end of the

01:05:26.080 republic sort of

01:05:27.200 thing, I don't think

01:05:28.260 there's anything like

01:05:29.040 that going on.

01:05:30.480 The most likely

01:05:31.580 outcome of a Biden

01:05:32.680 presidency is it's

01:05:34.620 kind of like not

01:05:35.740 that different from

01:05:36.500 the last one.

01:05:38.260 That's the most

01:05:38.820 likely outcome is

01:05:39.680 it's just not that

01:05:40.540 different in ways

01:05:41.320 that affect you

01:05:41.900 personally.

01:05:43.180 Now, there'll be

01:05:43.660 differences, lots of

01:05:45.220 differences, but they

01:05:46.640 won't necessarily make

01:05:48.020 this not America when

01:05:49.280 he's done with it,

01:05:49.960 right?

01:05:51.160 I'm not nearly as

01:05:52.400 worried about the big

01:05:53.500 outcomes.

01:05:54.320 Now, remember,

01:05:56.060 Democrats were just as

01:05:57.640 afraid of Trump.

01:05:59.380 Just look at their

01:06:00.220 experience when you're

01:06:01.380 trying to determine

01:06:02.800 if you're overreacting

01:06:04.000 or you're accurately

01:06:05.200 seeing the future.

01:06:06.920 Democrats thought

01:06:08.360 Trump would be

01:06:09.720 rounding people into

01:06:10.900 prison camps by now,

01:06:13.420 right?

01:06:14.040 That's what they

01:06:14.640 thought, and they

01:06:15.660 were way off.

01:06:17.320 Why would your

01:06:18.240 assumption about how

01:06:19.180 bad things are going

01:06:20.080 to be under Biden

01:06:21.160 be any more crazy

01:06:23.600 than the Democrats

01:06:25.640 were about Trump?

01:06:27.740 Just ask yourself

01:06:28.780 that question.

01:06:29.360 It doesn't mean

01:06:31.000 you're wrong.

01:06:32.160 I'm not saying

01:06:32.820 that, because you

01:06:34.440 are seeing a number

01:06:36.300 of trends that look

01:06:37.220 like a decrease in

01:06:38.380 freedom in a number

01:06:40.320 of ways.

01:06:41.000 That looks real.

01:06:42.840 That looks real.

01:06:44.180 But I don't think

01:06:44.940 it's the end of the

01:06:45.420 world.

01:06:48.420 I also was noting

01:06:50.240 the other day the

01:06:51.420 number of personalities

01:06:52.580 that I either

01:06:53.800 interacted with or

01:06:55.120 would read every day

01:06:56.540 during 2016, and

01:06:58.600 how many of them

01:06:59.300 are off of social

01:07:00.340 media now.

01:07:01.940 That list got

01:07:03.900 really big, kind

01:07:06.040 of creeping up on

01:07:06.960 you, didn't it?

01:07:07.620 It's like, eh, one

01:07:09.420 person a week sort

01:07:10.960 of disappears.

01:07:12.080 You hear that story

01:07:13.240 and you say, well,

01:07:14.660 you know, I hate

01:07:15.340 that freedom of

01:07:16.080 speech is being

01:07:16.700 suppressed, but that

01:07:18.640 thing they said was

01:07:19.920 pretty bad.

01:07:21.520 And you say to

01:07:22.120 yourself, okay, I

01:07:23.660 don't want to die on

01:07:24.940 this hill, because

01:07:26.660 this one person,

01:07:27.600 their specific case,

01:07:28.820 they did do

01:07:29.460 something kind of

01:07:30.240 bad.

01:07:31.020 So I'm not going to

01:07:31.740 get involved with

01:07:32.440 that one, because I

01:07:33.160 don't want that to be

01:07:34.100 part of my reputation.

01:07:36.860 And then there's

01:07:37.340 another one.

01:07:38.520 And then you say to

01:07:39.400 yourself, this is a

01:07:41.340 lot like that other

01:07:42.100 one.

01:07:42.460 It's a special case

01:07:43.620 again.

01:07:44.740 Do I want to get

01:07:45.660 involved in a special

01:07:46.840 case?

01:07:47.380 But, you know, as

01:07:51.780 you're noting in the

01:07:52.480 comments, it does seem

01:07:54.400 to be sliding in that

01:07:56.300 direction.

01:07:57.420 So we should be

01:07:59.320 definitely worried about

01:08:00.320 freedom of speech.

01:08:02.100 Now, I would argue

01:08:03.660 that I am an excellent

01:08:05.180 edge case.

01:08:08.260 I would say that I'm

01:08:11.320 very careful about

01:08:13.260 saying what is

01:08:14.440 alleged versus what

01:08:16.780 we know to be

01:08:17.400 true.

01:08:19.000 So, in theory, my

01:08:22.080 voice should be

01:08:22.880 safe, freedom of

01:08:23.900 speech, etc., because

01:08:25.220 I'm not pushing

01:08:26.280 inaccurate information.

01:08:29.600 And if I did

01:08:31.060 accidentally, of

01:08:32.140 course I have it

01:08:32.720 accidentally.

01:08:33.680 So everybody who

01:08:35.280 does what I do

01:08:35.980 occasionally says

01:08:37.420 something that's not

01:08:38.120 true.

01:08:38.920 You can't avoid

01:08:39.640 that.

01:08:40.520 But if you correct

01:08:41.880 it, then you're just

01:08:42.760 like the rest of the

01:08:43.780 media.

01:08:44.040 It's only when you

01:08:45.240 keep pressing that

01:08:46.320 falsehood that you

01:08:47.900 get in trouble.

01:08:49.040 So if you see me

01:08:50.380 actually removed from

01:08:52.700 social media, things

01:08:54.680 have definitely gone

01:08:55.440 too far.

01:08:57.580 Then things definitely

01:08:59.000 have gone too far,

01:09:00.000 because I don't cross

01:09:01.300 the line.

01:09:02.960 Now, if everybody who

01:09:04.940 does cross that line

01:09:06.260 gets taken off of

01:09:07.920 social media, but I

01:09:10.220 don't, was there a

01:09:12.380 slippery slope?

01:09:15.740 This is the case I've

01:09:16.920 been making forever.

01:09:18.280 If I get taken off

01:09:20.020 when never saying

01:09:21.720 anything that's

01:09:23.080 untrue, unless I've

01:09:24.540 added it as an

01:09:25.200 allegation, which is

01:09:26.640 always fair, if I get

01:09:29.480 taken off, then things

01:09:31.040 went too far, and I

01:09:32.400 think you'd all agree.

01:09:33.960 That would be

01:09:34.780 unambiguous at that

01:09:35.840 point.

01:09:36.860 And I'm definitely

01:09:37.800 getting demonetized,

01:09:39.320 and it seems

01:09:41.600 obvious that Twitter

01:09:42.460 is unfollowing people

01:09:44.320 from me automatically.

01:09:46.000 If I ask in the

01:09:46.820 comments, you'll see

01:09:48.240 dozens and dozens of

01:09:49.300 people who say they

01:09:49.960 were unfollowed from

01:09:50.920 me automatically just

01:09:52.360 in the last few weeks.

01:09:53.840 No matter when you

01:09:54.620 ask, it'll be dozens

01:09:56.180 of people who will say,

01:09:57.720 yeah, it just

01:09:58.060 happened.

01:09:59.160 So we know that's

01:10:00.240 happening.

01:10:01.420 But if I'm actually

01:10:02.520 taken off, as

01:10:04.840 opposed to slowly

01:10:06.580 suppressed on a

01:10:07.680 business, which is

01:10:08.400 what's happening, right

01:10:10.600 now, my entire

01:10:12.940 monetized value for

01:10:15.380 doing what I'm

01:10:15.980 doing, it's now

01:10:17.500 decreasing to the

01:10:18.260 point where it will

01:10:18.800 cost me money to do

01:10:20.900 this.

01:10:21.920 It will actually just

01:10:22.600 cost me money.

01:10:23.300 I'll have to pay to

01:10:25.180 do this.

01:10:25.920 I will be demonetized

01:10:27.260 pretty soon, and

01:10:28.120 you're just watching

01:10:29.080 the graph, it's only a

01:10:30.780 few weeks away, where

01:10:31.700 I'll actually be paying

01:10:32.860 to have freedom of

01:10:34.380 speech, instead of the

01:10:36.080 model which, if you

01:10:37.340 have enough viewers

01:10:38.860 and advertising, in

01:10:41.820 theory, your voice

01:10:42.720 should get stronger

01:10:43.500 as people enjoy it,

01:10:45.400 et cetera.

01:10:47.720 And then somebody

01:10:48.300 says, is it worth it?

01:10:50.840 Well, I don't know

01:10:53.860 if that matters.

01:10:56.000 I don't know if that

01:10:56.760 matters.

01:10:57.540 When you say, is it

01:10:58.440 worth it, there are

01:10:59.880 two ways to look at

01:11:01.420 that.

01:11:01.560 One, is it worth it

01:11:02.220 to me?

01:11:02.800 And the answer is no.

01:11:03.640 No, no.

01:11:05.120 It's not.

01:11:05.800 My personal life, my

01:11:07.660 fortune, my reputation

01:11:09.860 are all much worse,

01:11:12.460 unambiguously.

01:11:13.240 And I know that, right?

01:11:14.260 That was a conscious

01:11:14.900 decision.

01:11:16.040 Nothing snuck up on me.

01:11:18.200 Nothing happened that I

01:11:19.440 didn't see coming, right?

01:11:20.720 It was all transparent

01:11:22.620 and obvious.

01:11:24.680 So somebody says, what's

01:11:25.920 my motivation?

01:11:27.460 Well, I'll tell you that

01:11:29.580 some intelligence entities

01:11:32.840 have wondered the same

01:11:33.740 thing, because people

01:11:34.940 wonder if I'm being

01:11:35.680 paid by somebody.

01:11:36.740 I'm not.

01:11:37.840 I'm not.

01:11:38.900 And my motivation is

01:11:40.700 as simple as this.

01:11:42.380 It's biological.

01:11:44.200 When you are being

01:11:46.000 compatible with your

01:11:47.640 biological self, as the

01:11:50.640 self that got created by

01:11:51.940 evolution over hundreds

01:11:53.720 of thousands of years,

01:11:54.820 or millions, I believe

01:11:57.940 that's when you feel the

01:11:58.960 best.

01:12:00.440 So I'm going to say that

01:12:01.500 again, because there's

01:12:02.520 some few of you are going

01:12:03.700 to hear this, and it

01:12:04.600 will completely change

01:12:05.600 your life.

01:12:06.420 This is like a big

01:12:08.140 concept.

01:12:09.400 But I'm not going to

01:12:10.200 spend a lot of time, so

01:12:11.440 only a few of you are

01:12:12.440 going to maybe catch on

01:12:13.500 to this.

01:12:14.640 When you are true to

01:12:16.500 your biological self, you

01:12:19.460 feel fulfilled, and your

01:12:21.780 life is better.

01:12:23.020 That means, for example,

01:12:24.620 for many people, it means

01:12:25.720 having kids.

01:12:27.860 Right?

01:12:27.920 That doesn't mean

01:12:28.720 everybody would be

01:12:29.540 fulfilled by kids, plenty

01:12:30.760 of you are not.

01:12:31.980 But that is biologically

01:12:33.960 compatible with how you

01:12:35.300 evolved, and most people,

01:12:37.000 I would say, I would say

01:12:38.140 the majority, would feel

01:12:40.160 that biological compatibility.

01:12:43.220 And even though it's really

01:12:43.980 hard to have kids, it's

01:12:45.340 hard.

01:12:46.440 You still feel more

01:12:47.340 fulfilled, and I'm glad

01:12:48.380 you did it.

01:12:49.660 And I would say that in

01:12:50.960 general, not just with kids,

01:12:52.440 things, but whenever you're

01:12:54.060 aligned with your biological

01:12:56.240 truth, your life feels

01:12:59.220 better.

01:13:00.900 And here's another

01:13:01.980 biological truth that you

01:13:05.060 can't avoid, and it's sort

01:13:07.460 of the Spider-Man truth.

01:13:09.500 With great power comes great

01:13:11.280 responsibility.

01:13:13.660 Biologically.

01:13:14.220 You know, you would like that

01:13:16.840 to be true philosophically.

01:13:18.760 Oh, if you have great power,

01:13:20.900 philosophically and

01:13:22.220 intellectually, we'd like you

01:13:23.480 to use it for good.

01:13:24.920 Right?

01:13:25.440 But it's way beyond that.

01:13:26.760 It's biological.

01:13:28.300 When you have taken care of

01:13:30.300 your own needs, which

01:13:32.040 largely I have,

01:13:33.920 your most biologically

01:13:36.680 activated instinct is to take

01:13:40.260 care of more people, to

01:13:42.300 broaden your universe of

01:13:45.340 people you're directly

01:13:46.300 helping.

01:13:47.760 And since I've managed to

01:13:49.740 take care of myself and

01:13:50.900 largely people in my

01:13:52.360 circle, you know, the

01:13:53.520 people personally close to

01:13:54.900 me, my biological instinct

01:13:58.260 is to take that to the next

01:13:59.920 level.

01:14:01.860 Biologically, this is

01:14:03.740 compatible with me.

01:14:04.760 That's why it feels so

01:14:05.660 good.

01:14:06.580 Right?

01:14:06.780 It actually feels good.

01:14:08.620 Like, I'm a full

01:14:10.240 fulfilled person if I feel

01:14:12.400 that you got something out

01:14:13.740 of this and that it was

01:14:14.800 good for the larger good.

01:14:16.720 So, I would like to tell

01:14:17.880 you how I'm going to

01:14:18.840 rebrand these live

01:14:21.480 streams.

01:14:22.260 So, they used to be sort

01:14:23.400 of a Trump-oriented, you

01:14:25.680 know, energy fun, and that

01:14:27.680 was great.

01:14:29.080 But, while Trump is not

01:14:30.720 in office, I'm going to

01:14:31.940 change my focus to the

01:14:33.340 following.

01:14:35.280 Self-improvement, meaning

01:14:37.080 I'm going to build your

01:14:37.980 talent stack, but I'm going

01:14:39.720 to do it through a frame

01:14:40.960 of talking about world

01:14:42.240 events, especially

01:14:43.080 politics.

01:14:44.460 And that will give you

01:14:45.720 something meaningful and

01:14:47.000 current that we can be

01:14:48.220 talking about, but the

01:14:49.900 intention is to build your

01:14:52.660 talent stack of how to look

01:14:54.060 at this stuff and how to

01:14:55.940 connect it, and in general

01:14:57.880 how to make your life more

01:14:59.080 effective, and this is a

01:15:01.300 good example.

01:15:02.320 So, this advice I'm giving

01:15:03.780 you now about how to try to

01:15:05.900 find your biological

01:15:07.420 compatibility to have a

01:15:10.660 fulfilling life, for some

01:15:12.880 of you, not most of you,

01:15:14.840 but for some of you, maybe

01:15:16.960 5%, maybe 10%, this is

01:15:19.480 completely life-altering.

01:15:21.200 Because it's a filter that,

01:15:22.740 if you use it, it's

01:15:24.540 incredible, right?

01:15:26.300 And this filter says, take

01:15:27.840 care of yourself first,

01:15:29.220 because we don't want other

01:15:30.740 people to take care of you,

01:15:31.960 then it's ruining their

01:15:33.140 lives.

01:15:33.440 Take care of yourself, then

01:15:35.200 expand it, you know, your

01:15:36.600 family, your business, etc.

01:15:39.800 Just expand it.

01:15:42.160 So, that's going to be the

01:15:43.460 mode.

01:15:44.000 Talk about the headlines,

01:15:45.160 but build your talent stack

01:15:46.500 in ways you won't even know

01:15:48.420 is happening, all right?

01:15:49.840 You won't even know you're

01:15:50.940 getting smarter, you won't

01:15:52.220 even know you're getting

01:15:53.060 more effective.

01:15:54.120 It's just going to happen,

01:15:55.660 because you're going to be

01:15:57.380 exposed to new ideas, and

01:15:59.080 some of them will stick.

01:16:01.900 All right.

01:16:03.440 Somebody said they had a

01:16:04.440 15-year-old, their 15-year-old

01:16:06.240 read my books.

01:16:07.620 Let me tell you something.

01:16:09.560 If you have a 15-year-old,

01:16:12.200 who you can get to read even

01:16:13.800 one of my books completely,

01:16:16.200 you have a prodigy there.

01:16:20.020 You have something special.

01:16:22.580 All right.

01:16:23.080 And I'll bet you know that,

01:16:24.620 right?

01:16:24.900 I know you know that.

01:16:26.240 Because in the comments,

01:16:28.240 tell me how many of you could

01:16:29.720 get a teenager to read one of

01:16:31.460 my books.

01:16:32.940 Really.

01:16:33.880 How many of you could pull

01:16:34.960 that off?

01:16:37.460 10%?

01:16:38.960 Not 10%.

01:16:39.980 5%.

01:16:41.100 Oh, wow.

01:16:43.100 A couple people saying they

01:16:44.300 pulled that off.

01:16:46.800 Are you kidding?

01:16:49.200 I'm seeing...

01:16:50.140 What?

01:16:50.660 Most people are saying...

01:16:57.240 Well, maybe half.

01:16:58.200 Half are saying,

01:16:59.020 no way.

01:17:00.860 Holy cow.

01:17:01.840 A bunch of you actually

01:17:03.160 pulled that off.

01:17:05.000 I am so impressed with your

01:17:06.800 children.

01:17:07.720 If not, your parenting.

01:17:09.340 You know, my instinct is not

01:17:11.020 to give you credit for good

01:17:13.060 parenting.

01:17:13.880 Although that's really good

01:17:15.020 parenting.

01:17:16.320 But you have to have a kid

01:17:18.140 who's willing to do that.

01:17:19.420 And I'm not sure the parenting

01:17:20.500 gets you to that point.

01:17:22.220 I think there's something

01:17:22.920 about the kid.

01:17:24.760 If you've got a kid who can

01:17:26.220 absorb this kind of material

01:17:29.120 as a teenager,

01:17:32.440 if I could buy stock in those

01:17:34.900 kids, I would buy stock.

01:17:37.560 I mean, I would literally,

01:17:38.700 literally, I would invest

01:17:40.680 if I had a way to buy a...

01:17:42.340 If I could buy an index fund,

01:17:45.220 if there was some way

01:17:46.520 to legally do this,

01:17:47.660 an index fund of people

01:17:49.020 who are capable of reading

01:17:52.060 any kind of self-improvement

01:17:53.840 book, whether it's mine

01:17:54.720 or somebody else's,

01:17:55.940 if they're even capable

01:17:57.120 of doing that as a teenager,

01:17:59.340 I want to put all my money

01:18:01.120 on them.

01:18:02.280 Because if you don't think

01:18:03.500 you can change your whole life

01:18:04.920 by studying it up,

01:18:07.560 in other words,

01:18:08.120 studying it had to be effective,

01:18:09.800 reading self-help books

01:18:11.040 from a variety of people,

01:18:12.340 if you don't think

01:18:13.040 you can completely

01:18:13.900 change your life

01:18:14.780 just by reading the guides

01:18:16.580 about how to do it,

01:18:17.740 you're wrong.

01:18:19.160 I was doing this as a kid.

01:18:21.480 When I was in my teens,

01:18:22.800 I was voraciously absorbing

01:18:26.000 success stories

01:18:28.000 of famous people.

01:18:29.840 So wherever I saw a story

01:18:31.260 about this person

01:18:32.320 became successful,

01:18:34.400 I would read every detail.

01:18:36.140 And I'd be looking

01:18:36.720 for the commonalities.

01:18:39.280 All right, all right.

01:18:40.240 Compare this success story

01:18:41.540 to this success story.

01:18:42.560 What's in common?

01:18:43.920 Okay, okay.

01:18:44.580 Now, how about this new one?

01:18:45.860 And I'd always be looking

01:18:46.640 for the pattern.

01:18:47.660 Because I believed

01:18:48.720 there was a pattern.

01:18:50.880 And I believed

01:18:51.640 that if I could find it,

01:18:53.940 I could build a strategy

01:18:55.440 around it

01:18:56.140 to guarantee

01:18:56.960 that I would be successful.

01:18:58.940 And that lifetime

01:19:00.760 of looking for that pattern

01:19:02.180 became my book,

01:19:04.080 Had It Failed Almost Everything

01:19:05.240 and Still Win Big.

01:19:06.520 That's where

01:19:07.040 Systems Versus Goals

01:19:09.020 came from.

01:19:10.280 It's where

01:19:10.980 A-B Testing came from.

01:19:12.420 It's where

01:19:12.740 Learning to Get Over

01:19:14.700 a Failure and Shame

01:19:15.680 came from.

01:19:16.380 All of those

01:19:16.960 are based on looking

01:19:17.780 at the success stories

01:19:19.760 of other people,

01:19:20.600 which is a lifelong

01:19:21.840 passion of mine

01:19:22.740 to do that.

01:19:24.280 So,

01:19:25.100 if you've got

01:19:26.640 a 15-year-old kid

01:19:27.820 who can do that,

01:19:29.880 oh my God.

01:19:31.580 Oh my God.

01:19:32.580 the potential

01:19:33.640 they have.

01:19:34.920 Because

01:19:35.300 if you could get

01:19:36.540 every kid

01:19:37.180 to just read my book,

01:19:39.420 and I'm not even

01:19:40.180 going to say

01:19:40.600 that mine is

01:19:41.700 the best book

01:19:42.720 in the world.

01:19:43.260 I think it is,

01:19:43.880 actually,

01:19:44.460 for this kind of thing.

01:19:46.240 But if you could get

01:19:47.080 teenagers to read

01:19:48.880 this kind of book

01:19:49.560 in school,

01:19:51.100 it would be

01:19:51.540 completely life-altering.

01:19:53.080 I mean,

01:19:53.420 in gigantic ways.

01:19:54.960 It would be huge.

01:19:56.400 It would change

01:19:56.860 civilization.

01:19:58.240 But we don't do it.

01:19:59.180 All right.

01:20:00.040 That's all for now.

01:20:00.960 We'll talk to you

01:20:01.820 later.

01:20:02.580 All right,

01:20:04.600 YouTubers.

01:20:07.820 Might need you

01:20:08.820 to run

01:20:09.340 just to take on China.

01:20:12.660 Yeah,

01:20:13.180 you know,

01:20:13.440 I think enough people

01:20:14.380 are wise to China

01:20:16.740 at this point

01:20:17.400 that I don't know

01:20:18.140 that I would be

01:20:18.740 the best choice

01:20:19.400 for that.

01:20:19.900 But I would

01:20:20.300 definitely be hard

01:20:21.540 on China

01:20:22.340 in a way that...

01:20:26.560 Oh my God.

01:20:27.720 My son was

01:20:28.540 like that too,

01:20:29.520 Scott,

01:20:29.980 as a kid.

01:20:30.960 Good.

01:20:32.580 What is...

01:20:37.100 Here's a good question.

01:20:38.960 What is Trump's tension

01:20:40.220 the same as friction?

01:20:42.140 Well,

01:20:42.500 it is a form of friction,

01:20:44.340 a friction in your mind.

01:20:46.240 It's not the kind of friction

01:20:47.100 I usually talk about.

01:20:48.620 But Trump just...

01:20:50.320 He just raises

01:20:51.880 everybody's emotions,

01:20:53.260 good and bad.

01:20:54.640 It's a knack.

01:20:55.720 I mean,

01:20:55.940 he has a knack

01:20:56.560 for raising people's emotions.

01:20:57.840 So that's all

01:20:59.500 I'm talking about.

01:21:00.280 Just the raising

01:21:01.200 of emotions.

01:21:03.820 Somebody says

01:21:04.820 they think

01:21:05.840 I would really enjoy

01:21:06.680 being a father.

01:21:10.020 On some level,

01:21:11.140 of course.

01:21:12.260 Now,

01:21:12.600 I have to tell you

01:21:13.360 that

01:21:13.600 when I

01:21:15.360 got divorced

01:21:17.200 from my first wife,

01:21:18.620 I said to myself

01:21:19.580 that I don't belong

01:21:22.460 to that family unit anymore

01:21:25.080 and I consciously

01:21:26.940 and explicitly

01:21:28.000 donated myself

01:21:30.200 to the world.

01:21:31.260 Meaning that

01:21:32.080 I decided

01:21:33.200 to turn my

01:21:34.220 efforts outward

01:21:35.900 and try to make the world

01:21:37.060 a better place

01:21:37.660 explicitly.

01:21:39.020 That was a direct,

01:21:40.540 specific promise

01:21:42.080 to myself

01:21:42.820 that

01:21:44.120 I was now

01:21:46.080 owned by the world.

01:21:48.560 And

01:21:48.940 that was my

01:21:49.900 new responsibility.

01:21:52.480 Where's my golden age?

01:21:55.400 You're

01:21:56.040 right in it.

01:21:58.220 You're in it.

01:21:59.900 The changes

01:22:00.920 that the pandemic

01:22:01.860 are bringing

01:22:02.520 will be

01:22:03.620 the triggers

01:22:04.700 for the golden age.

01:22:06.440 It's what

01:22:06.960 will change

01:22:08.580 our health care.

01:22:09.580 It will change

01:22:10.280 what we think

01:22:10.940 about

01:22:11.340 everything.

01:22:12.900 Just almost

01:22:13.480 everything got

01:22:14.100 rethought

01:22:14.640 and that will

01:22:15.920 lead to

01:22:16.500 a level

01:22:17.120 of innovation

01:22:17.960 and improvement

01:22:18.800 in everything

01:22:19.300 from health care

01:22:20.220 to

01:22:20.580 you name it,

01:22:22.420 commuting,

01:22:23.080 business,

01:22:23.620 how we work,

01:22:24.540 everything.

01:22:25.700 That the golden age

01:22:26.900 is almost guaranteed

01:22:27.700 at this point

01:22:28.480 because of the pandemic.

01:22:33.740 This is a time

01:22:34.800 of great clarity.

01:22:36.540 That is an

01:22:37.440 interesting comment.

01:22:39.140 I was going to say

01:22:40.020 something about that

01:22:40.780 myself.

01:22:41.920 There is something

01:22:42.520 about the pandemic.

01:22:45.240 Maybe it's

01:22:45.780 Trump.

01:22:48.880 But there's

01:22:49.320 something about

01:22:49.880 this time

01:22:50.800 in which

01:22:52.640 people's

01:22:53.680 illusions

01:22:54.220 are evaporating.

01:22:56.840 More so

01:22:57.720 than I've ever

01:22:58.320 seen before.

01:22:59.520 Now we still

01:23:00.160 have plenty

01:23:00.660 of illusions

01:23:01.500 like hoaxes

01:23:02.800 and stuff.

01:23:03.340 It dominates

01:23:04.040 the news.

01:23:05.880 It's more

01:23:06.300 hoaxes

01:23:06.800 than real news.

01:23:07.800 But I feel

01:23:09.400 as though

01:23:09.760 at the same

01:23:10.420 time

01:23:10.780 there's this

01:23:12.060 weird clarity

01:23:12.920 that is

01:23:13.880 forming

01:23:14.320 about a lot

01:23:15.060 of stuff.

01:23:16.660 And I don't

01:23:17.500 know what's

01:23:17.940 going to win

01:23:18.520 the greater

01:23:19.740 new fake

01:23:20.480 news hoaxes

01:23:21.280 or the greater

01:23:21.920 clarity

01:23:22.460 about the fact

01:23:23.780 that we're

01:23:24.140 being manipulated

01:23:25.020 by the

01:23:26.140 movers

01:23:26.600 and the

01:23:27.920 power people.

01:23:28.500 I don't

01:23:31.460 talk about

01:23:31.880 Bitcoin

01:23:32.400 just because

01:23:34.380 it's outside

01:23:35.160 of my

01:23:35.600 expertise

01:23:36.760 level.

01:23:37.560 And there's

01:23:37.800 not much

01:23:38.120 to say

01:23:38.400 about it

01:23:38.720 that's

01:23:38.960 interesting

01:23:39.340 actually.

01:23:40.900 Sometimes

01:23:41.300 it goes

01:23:41.720 up.

01:23:42.780 That's

01:23:43.000 what you

01:23:43.620 need to

01:23:43.860 say.

01:23:46.620 Alright.

01:23:47.820 That's all

01:23:48.360 for now.

01:23:48.900 And I will

01:23:49.220 talk to you

01:23:49.740 tomorrow.

01:23:50.340 tomorrow.
