00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, come on in, come on in, you're just in time.
00:00:10.600 It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams.
00:00:13.540 Yes, I'm accidentally doing a Mr. Rogers taking off my sweater at the beginning of the broadcast.
00:00:21.180 Wish I'd planned it, but I didn't.
00:00:23.240 So, we've got one of the best live streams, maybe of all time, really.
00:00:32.800 If you were to look at all the live streams that have been broadcast in the last 15 billion years,
00:00:40.380 this one, best one, yeah, of the entire 15 billion years span, best one.
00:00:49.100 I know it's amazing.
00:00:50.140 And all you need to make it better is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice stand,
00:00:53.140 a canteen jug of glass, a mess of any kind, filling with your favorite liquid.
00:00:57.020 I like coffee.
00:00:58.700 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine here today, the thing that makes everything better.
00:01:04.240 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it's going to happen now, all over the world, at the same time.
00:01:11.180 Thus, Simultaneity.
00:01:13.240 Go! 0.95
00:01:17.460 Ah.
00:01:17.900 Well, whoever's taking a bong hit, I just see in the comments, good choice, good choice.
00:01:26.880 Well, let's talk about all the news, shall we?
00:01:31.100 Ex-CIA head John Brennan said on MSNBC that he's, quote,
00:01:36.820 I'm increasingly embarrassed to be a white male these days.
00:01:41.440 He's embarrassed to be a white male.
00:01:45.520 Well, John, I'm a white male, and I'm a little bit embarrassed, too.
00:01:51.840 A little bit embarrassed.
00:01:53.600 Maybe not for exactly the same reasons as you, but I have to say I feel it.
00:01:58.240 I do feel it.
00:02:00.740 Of course, in my case, it's being caused by John Brennan.
00:02:04.500 But I've been told that I can take credit and also the blame for what total strangers do who happen to share any pigmentation with me.
00:02:15.340 So, if there's anybody who's also white who's committing a crime right now, well, that's on me. 0.99
00:02:24.160 If there's anybody white that I've never met and never will who's inventing something cool, I take the credit for that. 1.00
00:02:33.220 Why?
00:02:33.860 Obviously, similar pigmentation.
00:02:36.600 Why wouldn't I take credit for the work of strangers if they have similar pigmentation?
00:02:42.760 That's just logical.
00:02:45.640 Well, IKEA is selling a tiny pre-built home that comes on its own sort of trailer situation.
00:02:52.960 They'll pull it right up to your plot of land, and there you've got a little home.
00:02:57.700 Now, people said to me, what's so special about that, Scott?
00:03:00.600 We've always had mobile homes.
00:03:03.280 IKEA making one isn't that different, is it?
00:03:06.600 But you'd have to see it.
00:03:07.900 It's very window-centric.
00:03:09.620 Instead of a classic mobile home that's more metal-sized and little windows, it's sort of open.
00:03:17.460 You know, it's window-y.
00:03:19.120 And if they got the insulation right, I don't know if they did, but if they did, for $47,500, you could have a tiny home with one tiny bathroom and a bedroom, etc.
00:03:32.760 Now, the big deal, I think, is that companies like IKEA are getting into it.
00:03:38.520 But I still think the big win, and where this is going, think of this price.
00:03:43.860 Think of this price.
00:03:44.860 Let's say rounded to $50,000.
00:03:46.900 Suppose, in a few years, Apple Computer gives you this option.
00:03:55.280 You could have a home that's worth, let's say, $100,000 to build, so something twice as good as this.
00:04:03.120 Maybe better than twice as good by then.
00:04:04.920 So it's twice as good, and it's free.
00:04:10.100 And it's made by Apple Computer, so it's high quality, right?
00:04:14.180 It's just free.
00:04:15.980 It costs $100,000.
00:04:17.700 If they were going to sell it on the market, probably it would cost you maybe $200,000 to buy it.
00:04:23.640 They give it to you for free.
00:04:25.100 But you have to use Apple products as long as you live there, all of them.
00:04:31.680 So if you're going to have Wi-Fi, you get it from Apple.
00:04:35.160 If you're going to have a phone service, you get it from Apple.
00:04:37.920 If you're going to have a laptop, you get it from Apple.
00:04:42.240 And Apple makes its money by just forcing you into their system,
00:04:48.440 and they don't even care if you pay nothing for rent.
00:04:51.140 You might pay some energy costs, maybe to Apple, maybe to Tesla.
00:04:56.920 Maybe it's a Tesla house.
00:04:58.960 Give it to you free, and all you have to do is pay for electricity
00:05:01.940 or pay for the Tesla products, let's say,
00:05:05.900 so you wouldn't be paying for the electricity directly.
00:05:08.660 I think that's where it's going, and maybe this is the first sign.
00:05:13.240 All right.
00:05:14.360 There is yet another study showing that one dose of the coronavirus vaccine,
00:05:24.180 and I don't think it matters which one you get at this point,
00:05:26.980 that one dose will give you something like 80% effective protection
00:05:32.600 from hospitalization for serious problems.
00:05:37.300 80%.
00:05:37.820 Now, if they give you the second dose, that gets into the mid-90s or higher, right?
00:05:42.080 So here's a question I asked.
00:05:46.220 What if we ever had a two-dose regimen before?
00:05:50.540 When that happened, I said to myself,
00:05:52.640 well, I get that we've always had vaccinations,
00:05:55.900 but why is this one a two-dose vaccination?
00:06:01.540 Whereas, yeah, my dog is so loud.
00:06:06.760 Snickers, wake up.
00:06:08.700 Wake up.
00:06:09.260 Wake up.
00:06:09.300 There you go.
00:06:13.660 She snores so loudly.
00:06:15.940 So I was curious why this was the one
00:06:18.560 where multiple makers of the vaccine thought it needed two doses.
00:06:24.680 And I was curious about that.
00:06:27.040 Now, the latest studies show that maybe it shouldn't have been two doses at all.
00:06:31.940 Was there anybody saying that who was credible early on?
00:06:37.900 Was there anybody credible saying, hey, if you do the math, one dose at 80% protection,
00:06:46.440 given that it's limited, right?
00:06:48.240 If you had unlimited doses, then, of course, everybody should get two.
00:06:52.820 I think we'd all agree on that, right?
00:06:54.760 If it's unlimited, give everybody two.
00:06:57.920 But it's very limited, and time matters a lot.
00:07:02.740 Under that condition, would you take 80% protection really fast,
00:07:08.140 or would you really, really slow things down to get to 95% for the few who actually get the shot?
00:07:15.000 Just in your sort of general, common-sense, statistically ignorant brain,
00:07:22.820 which one sounds better?
00:07:25.900 Well, let me add a little wrinkle.
00:07:28.020 Let's say that if you're a senior citizen,
00:07:30.180 specifically let's say you're in a senior care facility.
00:07:35.060 Let's say we give all of them two.
00:07:38.160 Nobody would argue with that, I don't think, right?
00:07:40.540 Because there aren't that many.
00:07:42.060 You know, you can give all of the nursing home people two
00:07:45.900 and still have plenty to give people one.
00:07:49.340 Well, I believe there were people like Nate Silver
00:07:51.540 and other economists and statisticians
00:07:54.500 who would be typically ignored for a medical question
00:07:58.520 because it's outside their field.
00:08:00.700 But as Andres Beckhaus was pointing out to me this morning, privately,
00:08:05.840 just that there were people who were on this early,
00:08:09.500 but they weren't doctors.
00:08:11.360 They were the wrong kind of expert,
00:08:12.980 except that they were the right kind of expert.
00:08:17.320 Because what you needed was somebody who could do math.
00:08:20.520 That's what you needed.
00:08:21.680 You didn't need somebody who knew what a vaccine was
00:08:25.780 or you didn't need somebody who was like the virology expert.
00:08:29.700 You needed somebody who could do math.
00:08:32.900 Say what you will about Nate Silver
00:08:34.800 if you're politically opposed to his opinions or whatever.
00:08:38.460 But what you can't take away from him,
00:08:41.440 he can do math.
00:08:42.980 He can do math.
00:08:44.200 And he just did the math.
00:08:45.860 He said, uh, if the one dose is anywhere...
00:08:49.920 I'm sort of putting words in his mouth.
00:08:51.600 He didn't say this.
00:08:53.040 But the idea is that if one dose gets you to something like 80%,
00:08:56.440 and it was a strong reason to believe that that would be true,
00:08:59.540 we're doing it all wrong.
00:09:02.020 I mean, like, really wrong.
00:09:04.020 As wrong as you could get.
00:09:05.600 Indeed, I would say that the decision to do two doses rather than one
00:09:11.540 may have killed millions of people or might in the long run.
00:09:16.700 That one statistical error,
00:09:19.560 which the qualified statisticians pointed it down right away, right?
00:09:25.020 It wasn't like we didn't know.
00:09:27.520 The people who can do math raised their hand and said,
00:09:32.000 um, I feel like you're doing the math wrong.
00:09:35.120 Now, what does this sound like?
00:09:37.240 Does this sound like another situation?
00:09:40.320 It should sound like the rapid test issue.
00:09:43.800 So the same math that makes sense in the vaccines,
00:09:48.360 which is a lower effectiveness single dose,
00:09:51.420 can get you to wider immunity faster.
00:09:55.100 The same argument, or similar enough,
00:09:57.720 is that the lower quality rapid testing
00:10:02.580 might only be, you know, 80% or 90% effective
00:10:06.260 as opposed to closer to 100%.
00:10:08.300 But if you did lots of people quickly and cheaply,
00:10:11.380 you'd still catch so much of it
00:10:14.260 that you might, you know, stop the pandemic that way.
00:10:18.340 Well, the FDA has approved yet another rapid test.
00:10:24.320 The other rapid test, I think you still have to send it to a lab,
00:10:27.620 but you can do it at home.
00:10:29.960 But then you have to wait for the mail, et cetera.
00:10:32.680 But the new one, apparently you get your,
00:10:34.840 you can do it yourself and you get your own result.
00:10:38.780 And it's 80% effective.
00:10:41.880 Or no, but something like that.
00:10:44.360 It's not perfect, but it's a high effectiveness.
00:10:48.420 And you can do it at home.
00:10:51.500 And you don't have to wait for results.
00:10:53.560 You get a result in 10 minutes.
00:10:55.860 So we're done, right?
00:10:59.220 Didn't I tell you that if you could have a quick home test
00:11:03.400 that was at least that good,
00:11:05.680 you would catch so much of the,
00:11:07.320 you would probably get all of the super spreaders.
00:11:10.340 Because the ones that it misses
00:11:12.060 are the ones who are not shedding that much, right?
00:11:15.060 So the difference between whether these cheap tests
00:11:18.260 catch the virus or not
00:11:20.420 is not about the quality of the test.
00:11:23.260 The test is the same test every time.
00:11:25.440 It's just if you have a lot of virus,
00:11:27.760 you're a super spreader,
00:11:29.000 it'll catch you every time.
00:11:30.880 But if you're maybe just at the beginning,
00:11:33.320 you just got a little bit of shedding,
00:11:34.620 well, then that might miss it.
00:11:37.900 So as long as you get the super spreaders
00:11:40.540 and you get them quickly enough,
00:11:42.980 pretty much the pandemic's over, right?
00:11:46.480 Oh, no, I forgot to tell you something.
00:11:50.600 No, the pandemic isn't solved.
00:11:53.840 Do you know why?
00:11:54.500 Our FDA decided that you need
00:11:58.300 a fucking prescription 0.85
00:12:00.780 to stick this thing up your nose. 0.72
00:12:07.500 What?
00:12:09.780 Are you kidding me?
00:12:13.340 Yeah, look at the comments.
00:12:15.740 You're dumbfounded now, aren't you?
00:12:18.240 Can you think of any reason
00:12:19.860 that the FDA would require a prescription
00:12:23.380 to get this thing that you can do at home
00:12:27.020 and, you know, a 13-year-old can do it?
00:12:28.960 You're just sticking something up your nose
00:12:30.380 and putting it in a vial, basically.
00:12:32.440 Can you think of any legitimate reason?
00:12:36.820 No, you can't.
00:12:38.240 You can't think of any legitimate reason.
00:12:40.780 Now, suppose that's just a failure
00:12:42.660 of our imagination.
00:12:45.300 Suppose there are actually
00:12:46.320 a good reason for it.
00:12:47.460 Do you give the FDA a pass
00:12:50.940 because there's a good reason?
00:12:54.060 Fuck no,
00:12:55.400 because they didn't tell us the reason.
00:12:57.600 If you don't tell us the good reason,
00:13:00.960 we must assume you are corrupt.
00:13:04.020 We must assume that.
00:13:06.100 And so I would ask you to assume that,
00:13:08.120 that your FDA has now signaled unambiguously.
00:13:12.140 I mean, before I was a little suspicious.
00:13:14.660 No, I was very suspicious
00:13:15.980 that something was going on
00:13:17.820 that wasn't quite right
00:13:18.920 because we should have had these tests
00:13:20.580 approved a long time ago.
00:13:22.420 But now it's confirmed.
00:13:25.220 The adding the requirement
00:13:26.720 for the prescription
00:13:27.720 either doesn't have a reason,
00:13:30.620 which would mean there's a corrupt reason,
00:13:32.960 or, and this is the part you can confirm,
00:13:35.800 they're not providing a reason.
00:13:37.360 It's the same thing.
00:13:41.660 Either they don't have one
00:13:43.020 or they have one
00:13:44.080 and they're not telling you.
00:13:45.860 In either case,
00:13:47.740 this is a complete failure of the FDA
00:13:49.880 for whatever reason.
00:13:51.100 It might be a mystery.
00:13:52.240 Now let me ask you this.
00:13:54.260 If Trump
00:13:55.200 heard this,
00:13:58.180 how would he act?
00:14:00.580 Somebody said,
00:14:01.480 hey, Mr. Trump,
00:14:02.420 it looks like we've got a solution.
00:14:03.580 Oh, it looks like we don't
00:14:05.760 because they added this requirement
00:14:08.120 for a prescription.
00:14:10.240 Now, when a doctor prescribes it,
00:14:12.560 what do you think the doctor
00:14:14.200 is looking out for?
00:14:16.040 To make sure that somebody
00:14:17.360 knows how to do it right?
00:14:20.320 Now, it could be
00:14:21.220 that the only reason
00:14:22.020 is to limit the number of them,
00:14:24.420 which would be the shadiest reason
00:14:25.660 in the world, in my opinion.
00:14:27.600 But suppose somebody comes to Trump
00:14:29.680 and they say,
00:14:30.160 oh, well, we got the technology now.
00:14:31.920 We got the technology
00:14:33.860 so we can solve this problem
00:14:35.800 with this rapid testing.
00:14:37.300 When I say solve,
00:14:38.540 that's hyperbole, right?
00:14:39.600 We can make a big difference.
00:14:41.880 And what does the president say?
00:14:43.060 He goes, great.
00:14:43.840 Everybody will get this, right?
00:14:45.100 Now, it turns out
00:14:46.120 the FDA put a requirement on it
00:14:48.040 for a prescription.
00:14:50.380 So basically,
00:14:51.540 it won't make any difference
00:14:52.500 to the pandemic.
00:14:53.820 It really won't.
00:14:54.400 It won't make any difference
00:14:55.540 if you require a prescription.
00:14:57.200 It just won't be enough of them.
00:14:58.860 What would Trump say?
00:14:59.980 Well, what do you think?
00:15:02.720 What would Trump do
00:15:03.520 in that situation?
00:15:04.980 Well, we don't know.
00:15:06.140 Like, we'd have to speculate.
00:15:08.160 My guess would be
00:15:09.320 that they just told him
00:15:11.500 the difference
00:15:12.200 between a successful presidency
00:15:15.020 and an unsuccessful one.
00:15:17.440 And that he would have
00:15:18.440 ripped the FDA out by the roots
00:15:21.140 to get that changed.
00:15:23.420 I think.
00:15:24.880 I think he would have
00:15:26.060 ripped them out by the roots
00:15:27.320 to get that changed.
00:15:28.880 Now, I speculate
00:15:30.400 and only weakly
00:15:32.740 on this following point
00:15:34.200 that Trump wasn't aware.
00:15:37.740 In other words,
00:15:38.300 his advisors
00:15:38.960 had never brought him
00:15:39.840 this proposition
00:15:40.620 about the cheap,
00:15:42.600 less accurate tests
00:15:43.520 being a good solution
00:15:45.160 if you do it right.
00:15:46.620 I feel like maybe
00:15:47.760 nobody ever brought that to him
00:15:49.440 because I think
00:15:50.680 he would have made it happen.
00:15:52.460 Again, just speculating.
00:15:53.760 No way to know that, right?
00:15:55.060 But what will Biden do?
00:15:56.360 Will Biden say
00:15:57.860 trust the science?
00:16:00.380 I feel like he might.
00:16:02.980 Is this science?
00:16:05.180 Nope.
00:16:06.520 Is he going to say
00:16:07.580 trust the experts?
00:16:08.880 Because, you know,
00:16:09.820 there must be some reason
00:16:10.940 that they're putting
00:16:12.280 this requirement on there.
00:16:14.180 I feel that he's committed himself
00:16:16.240 to trusting the experts.
00:16:18.000 And the experts
00:16:19.000 appear to be
00:16:20.760 screwing the whole country.
00:16:22.860 Maybe killing millions.
00:16:24.260 There is no,
00:16:26.500 it's not,
00:16:27.420 there's no even
00:16:28.160 similarity
00:16:30.040 between how many people
00:16:32.220 died in the
00:16:33.880 Governor Cuomo case
00:16:35.220 of putting infected people
00:16:36.540 back in nursing homes
00:16:37.480 and that's,
00:16:38.760 you know,
00:16:38.960 in the thousands.
00:16:40.520 Horrible,
00:16:41.180 horrible situations.
00:16:42.280 Thousands of people
00:16:43.080 died from that mistake.
00:16:46.060 How many people
00:16:47.060 will die from this mistake?
00:16:48.820 A lot more.
00:16:50.220 Like, way more.
00:16:51.360 It's not even close.
00:16:52.100 If you're comparing
00:16:53.400 government fuck-ups,
00:16:56.440 Biden's fuck-up right now,
00:16:58.460 which, by the way,
00:16:59.660 let me be as clear as I can,
00:17:01.380 if this had been
00:17:02.220 President Trump
00:17:03.080 and he also didn't fix this,
00:17:05.740 or at least
00:17:06.100 obviously trying to fix it,
00:17:08.200 it would be the same fuck-up.
00:17:10.020 Right?
00:17:10.420 Nobody gets a pass
00:17:11.520 for their party affiliation.
00:17:13.480 You're fucking
00:17:14.360 the whole fucking country
00:17:15.980 by whatever this is.
00:17:18.520 Right?
00:17:18.760 I was savage
00:17:20.880 about Trump
00:17:21.660 not pursuing
00:17:22.900 this same option,
00:17:24.000 you know,
00:17:24.200 with the cheap tests.
00:17:25.380 And now,
00:17:26.200 I've got to say
00:17:26.820 the same thing
00:17:27.300 about Biden.
00:17:28.160 I mean,
00:17:28.360 I was just as savage
00:17:29.380 with Trump,
00:17:30.560 most of you heard me,
00:17:31.680 and I'm not going to
00:17:32.640 pull it back
00:17:33.700 because it's Biden.
00:17:35.220 Biden,
00:17:35.780 you're in the barrel.
00:17:37.480 It's your job.
00:17:38.660 If you don't fix this,
00:17:40.760 or,
00:17:41.500 and I would be
00:17:42.560 satisfied intellectually
00:17:44.540 with this,
00:17:45.200 it wouldn't be as good,
00:17:46.140 but at least I'd be
00:17:47.220 satisfied intellectually,
00:17:48.240 give us a good reason.
00:17:50.460 Just tell us a reason
00:17:51.520 that the FDA requires
00:17:53.280 this to be a prescription thing.
00:17:55.020 If there's a reason,
00:17:56.060 I'm open to it.
00:17:57.640 Right?
00:17:57.940 I'm not an unreasonable person.
00:17:59.680 I just need to hear the reason.
00:18:01.340 If not,
00:18:02.820 Biden,
00:18:03.360 you need to go.
00:18:04.400 You need to fuck
00:18:05.220 and be fired
00:18:05.980 with Cuomo.
00:18:08.380 Because these are
00:18:09.440 the size of mistakes
00:18:10.540 that are completely unreasonable.
00:18:12.580 And by the way,
00:18:13.680 if Trump lost
00:18:15.220 his re-election
00:18:16.060 because he didn't handle
00:18:17.400 the coronavirus
00:18:18.020 well enough,
00:18:19.220 I'm fine with that.
00:18:21.280 I'm absolutely
00:18:22.200 fine with that.
00:18:23.660 If Trump,
00:18:24.280 if Trump really did lose
00:18:25.740 because of coronavirus,
00:18:27.400 because I don't think,
00:18:28.280 I don't think he nailed it.
00:18:29.860 I think what he did
00:18:30.780 with the,
00:18:31.240 the vaccinations
00:18:32.280 was amazing.
00:18:34.600 I mean,
00:18:34.780 that was
00:18:35.180 Kennedy-esque leadership.
00:18:37.400 Nobody can take that
00:18:38.360 away from him.
00:18:38.940 But the testing part,
00:18:41.860 the rapid testing part
00:18:42.800 specifically,
00:18:44.040 I think,
00:18:44.520 I think Trump failed
00:18:45.720 on that.
00:18:46.540 And Biden is failing now.
00:18:50.180 So,
00:18:50.940 listen to,
00:18:51.500 listen to statisticians
00:18:53.080 too,
00:18:53.520 not just medical people.
00:18:56.880 Apparently,
00:18:57.620 Biden has
00:18:58.480 declared that this is
00:19:00.820 Irish-American
00:19:01.780 heritage month.
00:19:02.880 March is.
00:19:05.040 Now,
00:19:05.400 I guess this is
00:19:06.060 a fairly
00:19:07.120 normal thing.
00:19:08.540 Every year,
00:19:10.140 the government
00:19:10.540 just re-ups
00:19:12.020 and says,
00:19:12.820 hey,
00:19:13.100 it's Irish-American
00:19:14.740 heritage month.
00:19:16.280 To which I say,
00:19:17.740 we only have
00:19:19.260 12 months.
00:19:21.600 Now,
00:19:22.120 we've got
00:19:22.440 Black History Month.
00:19:25.000 That seems like
00:19:26.200 a good idea.
00:19:27.220 I'm all for that.
00:19:28.880 Now,
00:19:29.220 we've got
00:19:29.680 Irish-American
00:19:30.500 heritage month.
00:19:31.580 So,
00:19:31.760 that's March.
00:19:33.020 We've only got
00:19:33.940 10 left.
00:19:35.620 Is that enough?
00:19:37.460 Because I feel like,
00:19:38.540 there's going to be
00:19:39.240 a lot of
00:19:39.640 underserved
00:19:40.460 ethnicities here.
00:19:42.140 And that doesn't
00:19:42.800 seem right.
00:19:43.760 By the time we get
00:19:44.700 to Estonian
00:19:45.620 Americans,
00:19:47.280 what month
00:19:48.360 are they going to
00:19:48.860 have?
00:19:50.160 Nothing.
00:19:51.140 They'll all be
00:19:51.760 used up.
00:19:52.880 And I think that's
00:19:53.760 a little bit racist,
00:19:54.960 isn't it?
00:19:55.980 Now,
00:19:57.100 if the guy who
00:19:57.920 is declaring
00:19:58.540 its Irish-American
00:19:59.540 heritage month
00:20:00.300 happens to be
00:20:01.660 an Irish-American,
00:20:03.820 say,
00:20:04.080 Biden,
00:20:05.140 how do you feel
00:20:06.100 about that?
00:20:07.880 It feels like
00:20:09.200 he's the one
00:20:09.700 who shouldn't
00:20:10.100 do that.
00:20:11.360 It doesn't feel
00:20:12.540 like you should
00:20:13.140 declare a month
00:20:14.840 for your own
00:20:15.520 people if you're
00:20:16.380 the leader.
00:20:18.760 If Trump
00:20:19.800 had declared
00:20:20.540 Scottish-American
00:20:21.960 heritage month,
00:20:24.140 what would the
00:20:25.320 news have done
00:20:26.040 to him?
00:20:27.780 Is there such
00:20:28.760 a thing as
00:20:29.280 Scottish-American
00:20:30.240 history?
00:20:31.200 So that would
00:20:31.740 have been Trump.
00:20:32.740 If he had
00:20:33.140 tried to get
00:20:33.540 away with that,
00:20:34.900 that would
00:20:35.100 just be white 0.83
00:20:35.700 supremacy.
00:20:36.880 But maybe
00:20:37.380 Biden can get
00:20:38.060 away with this
00:20:38.540 because it's
00:20:38.920 a long,
00:20:39.820 long tradition.
00:20:41.460 But are we
00:20:42.240 using the same
00:20:43.060 standards for
00:20:45.100 the left as
00:20:45.680 the right?
00:20:46.380 Let's keep an
00:20:46.940 eye on that.
00:20:47.720 Let's talk about
00:20:48.240 Dr. Seuss.
00:20:49.060 You all want to
00:20:49.600 talk about that.
00:20:50.400 So I've been
00:20:50.720 following this
00:20:51.240 story lightly.
00:20:53.600 Like there's
00:20:54.020 some stories you
00:20:54.700 dig in and there
00:20:56.060 are other stories
00:20:56.600 you just read the
00:20:57.260 headline and move
00:20:57.960 on.
00:20:58.680 And this Dr.
00:20:59.440 Seuss one,
00:20:59.960 I've been reading
00:21:00.420 the headlines and
00:21:01.120 moving on.
00:21:01.700 because I
00:21:03.120 trusted that the
00:21:04.080 following would
00:21:04.800 happen.
00:21:06.160 I trusted that
00:21:07.440 just being a
00:21:08.660 consumer of
00:21:09.360 news and
00:21:10.520 dipping in all
00:21:11.760 the time and
00:21:12.460 turning on the
00:21:13.040 news all the
00:21:13.600 time, that I
00:21:14.660 would clearly
00:21:15.660 and unambiguously
00:21:16.780 be presented
00:21:17.560 with the
00:21:18.060 examples of
00:21:19.780 those things
00:21:20.360 which maybe
00:21:20.880 didn't look so
00:21:21.620 bad when they
00:21:22.220 were first done,
00:21:23.300 but society
00:21:24.080 has evolved and
00:21:25.880 maybe they look
00:21:26.560 bad now.
00:21:28.020 So I wanted
00:21:28.560 to see some
00:21:29.700 of the examples
00:21:30.360 of the horrible,
00:21:31.660 horrible things
00:21:32.300 in these Dr.
00:21:34.240 Seuss books.
00:21:36.600 Have any of you
00:21:37.460 seen any?
00:21:38.900 Has anybody
00:21:39.680 actually seen
00:21:40.820 an example of
00:21:42.580 one of the
00:21:42.980 offensive things?
00:21:44.560 Now I've heard
00:21:45.260 them described,
00:21:46.780 but I haven't
00:21:47.540 seen them.
00:21:48.840 Now are we
00:21:49.460 so sensitive?
00:21:55.740 Snickers,
00:21:56.440 wake up.
00:21:56.940 I have to be
00:22:01.280 more exciting.
00:22:02.380 I'm boring my
00:22:03.400 dog to sleep.
00:22:04.720 It's causing a
00:22:05.380 problem.
00:22:08.120 All right, so
00:22:08.620 none of you, I
00:22:09.600 believe none of
00:22:10.160 you have seen
00:22:10.680 any of the
00:22:11.040 examples, right?
00:22:17.400 Somebody says,
00:22:18.240 I don't think
00:22:18.700 Scots-Irish is a 1.00
00:22:20.160 real thing.
00:22:20.680 I don't know
00:22:21.000 what that means.
00:22:21.520 So the
00:22:24.500 description of
00:22:26.360 these offenses
00:22:27.220 is that it's
00:22:28.900 a, quote,
00:22:29.500 racist imagery
00:22:30.660 of Asian and
00:22:31.880 black characters.
00:22:33.360 Now I think
00:22:34.060 that's a real
00:22:34.660 thing, Mike,
00:22:36.480 in my opinion,
00:22:38.360 and I have to
00:22:39.020 deal with this
00:22:39.460 all the time
00:22:39.880 because I'm
00:22:40.360 a professional
00:22:40.920 cartoonist.
00:22:42.000 So when you're
00:22:42.520 a professional
00:22:43.020 cartoonist,
00:22:44.520 the market
00:22:46.280 will ask you
00:22:47.300 to have
00:22:47.960 diversity in
00:22:48.720 your product.
00:22:49.960 That's
00:22:50.400 reasonable,
00:22:50.940 right?
00:22:52.100 Make your
00:22:52.780 comic look like
00:22:54.480 the real world.
00:22:55.120 That's what I
00:22:55.500 want to do.
00:22:56.040 I draw a comic
00:22:56.720 about the real
00:22:57.420 world.
00:22:58.160 So of course,
00:22:59.780 I want it to
00:23:00.380 look as much
00:23:00.880 like the real
00:23:01.380 world as
00:23:01.740 possible,
00:23:02.480 including a
00:23:03.240 diverse cast.
00:23:05.100 But there's a
00:23:05.900 problem.
00:23:07.420 Do you know
00:23:07.740 what the problem
00:23:08.180 is?
00:23:09.440 It's a big
00:23:10.160 one.
00:23:11.280 Here's the
00:23:11.860 problem.
00:23:12.700 If I, as
00:23:13.860 generic white
00:23:15.040 guy, introduce,
00:23:16.460 let's say, an
00:23:16.880 African-American
00:23:17.500 character into
00:23:18.440 my comic,
00:23:19.300 what would
00:23:21.140 be the
00:23:21.680 personality I
00:23:22.860 would give
00:23:23.200 that character?
00:23:24.360 Because remember,
00:23:25.400 to make it a
00:23:25.960 good comic, all
00:23:27.480 of the characters
00:23:28.080 have gigantic
00:23:28.920 flaws.
00:23:30.420 So Alice gets
00:23:31.380 angry too
00:23:32.500 quickly.
00:23:33.060 The boss is
00:23:33.780 clueless.
00:23:35.620 Dilbert is
00:23:36.400 sort of a
00:23:37.320 nerd.
00:23:37.980 He doesn't
00:23:38.400 have his
00:23:38.700 social graces.
00:23:40.200 Wally's lazy.
00:23:41.780 Ashok, the
00:23:42.200 intern, who's
00:23:43.180 the only person
00:23:43.760 who has any
00:23:44.220 interesting flavor
00:23:45.100 at all, because
00:23:45.820 he was born in
00:23:46.740 India.
00:23:47.020 But Ashok, the
00:23:48.280 intern in the
00:23:48.920 Dilbert comic, the
00:23:50.280 only flaw I could
00:23:51.420 give him, that I
00:23:52.980 could stay out of
00:23:53.600 trouble, was that
00:23:55.160 he's inexperienced.
00:23:57.820 That's it.
00:23:59.040 His only flaw is
00:24:00.780 one of youth, which
00:24:02.840 of course is
00:24:03.440 self-solving.
00:24:05.600 So I couldn't even
00:24:06.400 give Ashok the one
00:24:08.520 character in my
00:24:09.320 strip.
00:24:09.560 I couldn't even
00:24:10.080 give him a real
00:24:10.960 flaw.
00:24:11.960 I had to give him
00:24:12.660 the only kind of
00:24:13.360 flaw you can give
00:24:14.140 somebody that
00:24:14.700 isn't real.
00:24:15.700 You just grow out
00:24:16.600 of it like
00:24:16.960 everybody does.
00:24:17.780 It's like being a
00:24:18.420 kid.
00:24:20.060 Now, what happened
00:24:20.920 when I introduced
00:24:21.760 an Indian-American
00:24:24.300 character?
00:24:25.560 I was blamed,
00:24:27.760 accused of being
00:24:28.460 a racist, because
00:24:30.180 the Ashok character
00:24:32.540 sometimes did silly
00:24:33.880 things.
00:24:35.140 And people said,
00:24:36.580 you should be
00:24:37.980 canceled for saying
00:24:38.940 such bad things
00:24:39.700 about black people.
00:24:40.480 Now, my defense
00:24:42.680 was, he's Ashok
00:24:44.580 the intern from
00:24:46.060 India.
00:24:47.540 He's not a black 1.00
00:24:48.900 character.
00:24:50.180 To which my public
00:24:51.320 said, stop making
00:24:53.040 this racist comic
00:24:54.600 about black
00:24:55.180 characters.
00:24:56.340 To which I said,
00:24:57.240 oh, maybe you
00:24:57.880 didn't hear me the
00:24:58.380 first time.
00:24:59.420 There actually
00:24:59.800 aren't, there are
00:25:00.800 no black characters
00:25:01.760 in the strip.
00:25:02.640 And the reason I do
00:25:03.480 that is out of
00:25:05.000 respect.
00:25:06.060 Because I don't
00:25:06.600 know a way that I
00:25:07.560 could add a,
00:25:08.380 well, and out of
00:25:10.760 fear as well, but
00:25:11.580 it is also out of
00:25:12.400 respect.
00:25:13.080 That I don't know
00:25:13.660 that I could treat
00:25:14.260 the character right.
00:25:15.720 And I do think I
00:25:16.520 have some obligation
00:25:17.180 to do that.
00:25:18.760 And my public
00:25:20.220 says, but why are
00:25:21.760 you being so racist
00:25:22.640 about your black
00:25:23.580 characters?
00:25:24.140 To which I say,
00:25:25.000 I don't think you
00:25:26.600 hear me.
00:25:27.120 I don't have any.
00:25:28.980 And there's a
00:25:30.140 reason.
00:25:31.260 There's a reason.
00:25:32.740 It's because you
00:25:33.220 can't.
00:25:34.720 You just can't do
00:25:35.540 it.
00:25:35.960 In our current
00:25:36.920 situation, there's
00:25:37.900 no way I could
00:25:38.440 do it without
00:25:38.920 getting cancelled.
00:25:39.760 Because I would
00:25:40.340 have to add a
00:25:40.940 flaw, and then
00:25:42.140 that's the end
00:25:42.660 of it.
00:25:42.920 I'm cancelled.
00:25:44.320 So, Dr. Seuss,
00:25:46.540 of course, had a
00:25:47.140 different situation
00:25:47.900 in the Dr. Seuss
00:25:49.340 books, because they
00:25:50.100 were old enough
00:25:50.940 that he just did
00:25:52.060 whatever seemed
00:25:53.060 appropriate at the
00:25:53.960 time, but now
00:25:54.980 looks wildly
00:25:55.780 inappropriate by
00:25:56.760 our modern eyes.
00:25:58.440 And I would
00:25:58.840 guess that he
00:26:00.360 has some pictures
00:26:02.260 of Asian and
00:26:03.260 black characters
00:26:03.960 that probably are
00:26:05.980 probably so racist
00:26:09.080 by modern
00:26:09.840 standards that
00:26:10.620 you would laugh
00:26:11.220 when you saw
00:26:11.660 them.
00:26:12.540 You would laugh
00:26:13.460 comparing them to
00:26:14.260 what is acceptable
00:26:15.340 now to what was
00:26:16.400 acceptable then.
00:26:17.340 But I'd like to
00:26:18.020 see them, because I
00:26:19.700 think we should
00:26:20.220 laugh them away.
00:26:22.120 Am I wrong?
00:26:23.520 Let me ask you,
00:26:25.620 if you are, let's
00:26:27.480 say if you're
00:26:27.920 black or Asian
00:26:28.580 American and you're
00:26:29.200 watching this live
00:26:29.940 stream, let me ask
00:26:30.640 you this question.
00:26:32.060 Don't you think
00:26:32.880 we'd be better
00:26:33.460 off publishing
00:26:34.720 the pictures and
00:26:36.320 all having a good
00:26:37.140 laugh?
00:26:38.700 Isn't that
00:26:39.300 healthier?
00:26:40.140 Because I don't
00:26:40.800 think there are
00:26:41.160 any white people
00:26:41.900 who are saying,
00:26:42.500 yeah, the world
00:26:44.380 is better if we
00:26:45.300 make the non-white 1.00
00:26:46.840 characters weirdly
00:26:49.900 stereotypical.
00:26:51.440 There is zero
00:26:52.340 people on the
00:26:53.180 other side of the
00:26:53.740 argument.
00:26:55.000 Nobody.
00:26:55.740 There's nobody on
00:26:56.500 the other side of
00:26:57.040 the argument.
00:26:57.520 Nobody says, well,
00:26:58.840 I would really like
00:26:59.840 the non-white 0.99
00:27:01.120 characters to be
00:27:02.420 insultingly drawn.
00:27:04.820 Nobody.
00:27:06.180 Nobody's on that
00:27:06.920 side.
00:27:07.340 It's not like
00:27:07.880 statues where
00:27:09.140 people have some
00:27:09.780 unrelated argument
00:27:10.780 about free speech
00:27:12.020 and history and
00:27:13.020 stuff like that.
00:27:13.700 There's nobody on
00:27:14.560 the other side.
00:27:15.620 If we can't laugh
00:27:16.900 at this together,
00:27:21.340 like, what the
00:27:22.580 hell?
00:27:23.360 We're not even
00:27:24.000 trying.
00:27:24.680 Let me tell you
00:27:25.140 how to solve this.
00:27:26.660 Here's how you
00:27:27.260 would solve the
00:27:27.940 Dr. Seuss thing.
00:27:29.060 If somebody owns
00:27:30.100 the rights, I
00:27:31.160 don't know if
00:27:31.460 it's family
00:27:32.700 members or
00:27:33.400 publishers or
00:27:34.120 who owns the
00:27:34.640 rights by this
00:27:35.160 point, I think
00:27:36.260 that they should
00:27:37.140 hire a black 0.96
00:27:39.800 cartoonist to
00:27:42.260 suggest a
00:27:43.280 non-offensive,
00:27:45.600 let's say,
00:27:46.780 drawing style to
00:27:47.640 replace the
00:27:48.460 originals, but to 1.00
00:27:51.240 keep it within the
00:27:52.020 style of the
00:27:53.260 original Dr.
00:27:53.880 Seuss, but also
00:27:56.480 make sure that
00:27:57.060 everybody knows
00:27:57.580 what the original
00:27:58.140 is, so that in
00:28:00.680 the book it
00:28:01.200 says this was
00:28:01.840 modified for this
00:28:03.000 reason.
00:28:04.200 You should be
00:28:04.800 able to see the
00:28:05.420 original.
00:28:06.500 You don't want
00:28:07.060 the original to
00:28:07.880 be forever gone.
00:28:11.140 It needs to be
00:28:11.760 put in as proper
00:28:12.520 context.
00:28:13.920 But I've been
00:28:14.320 thinking about
00:28:14.740 doing this for
00:28:15.740 Dilbert, because
00:28:17.120 on one hand,
00:28:18.480 and I know my
00:28:19.760 audience especially,
00:28:20.860 is thinking some
00:28:21.680 version of,
00:28:22.860 Scott, don't be
00:28:24.580 so, don't be so
00:28:26.160 weak.
00:28:27.200 Just make your
00:28:27.860 characters, do
00:28:29.140 what you do, let
00:28:30.520 the chips fall.
00:28:31.940 I don't live in
00:28:32.740 that world.
00:28:34.040 I don't live in
00:28:34.840 that world.
00:28:35.720 I live in a world
00:28:36.560 in which I prefer
00:28:37.880 people to be
00:28:38.720 polite.
00:28:40.460 You know, forget
00:28:40.960 about the wokeness
00:28:42.260 and all that stuff.
00:28:43.740 Can't we be
00:28:44.340 polite?
00:28:45.720 Can't we just be
00:28:47.040 polite to each
00:28:47.660 other?
00:28:48.400 Do we even have
00:28:49.120 to worry about any
00:28:50.300 of the other stuff
00:28:51.500 if you're just
00:28:52.080 polite?
00:28:52.980 How polite is
00:28:54.000 it to publish
00:28:56.660 offensive characters
00:28:57.820 of some group?
00:28:58.920 Now, I get that
00:28:59.700 it maybe wasn't
00:29:00.620 as offensive in
00:29:01.660 the past, and so
00:29:02.940 maybe we're too
00:29:03.820 woke now, but
00:29:05.020 here we are,
00:29:06.100 right?
00:29:06.500 Here we are.
00:29:07.520 However we got
00:29:08.320 here doesn't
00:29:08.820 matter.
00:29:09.320 Here we are.
00:29:10.460 It's just not
00:29:11.340 polite to do
00:29:14.440 offensive things
00:29:15.400 that people find
00:29:16.340 offensive, if you
00:29:17.180 can avoid it.
00:29:18.220 And how hard
00:29:18.800 would it be to
00:29:19.360 get a black 0.99
00:29:20.560 cartoonist and
00:29:21.380 say, look, give
00:29:21.980 us a hand,
00:29:23.220 redraw these
00:29:23.980 characters, we'll
00:29:25.260 just change the
00:29:25.900 ones that are
00:29:26.380 offensive, and
00:29:27.640 then we'll
00:29:28.160 annotate it so
00:29:29.260 everybody knows
00:29:29.820 what we did.
00:29:30.320 Same with the
00:29:30.880 Asian American
00:29:31.540 characters.
00:29:32.160 That's why I
00:29:32.600 wanted to
00:29:32.840 handle it.
00:29:33.380 And by the
00:29:33.740 way, I've been
00:29:34.480 thinking for a
00:29:35.120 long time, and
00:29:35.640 I feel as though
00:29:37.360 I'm going to
00:29:37.680 pull the trigger
00:29:38.320 on this, although
00:29:39.900 this could
00:29:40.400 backfire.
00:29:41.720 I'm thinking
00:29:42.380 of doing the
00:29:43.040 same thing with
00:29:43.980 Dilbert.
00:29:45.380 I'm thinking
00:29:46.320 of asking
00:29:48.540 Black Lives Matter,
00:29:49.560 for example,
00:29:50.000 literally, to
00:29:51.520 say, hey, I've
00:29:52.180 got this issue, I'd
00:29:53.460 like to add some
00:29:54.020 diversity, I can't 1.00
00:29:55.660 do it alone.
00:29:57.260 Nothing wrong
00:29:57.900 with that.
00:29:58.960 There's nothing
00:29:59.400 wrong with saying
00:29:59.960 you can't do it
00:30:00.580 alone, right?
00:30:01.400 I can't do it
00:30:02.200 alone.
00:30:03.060 Give me a hand.
00:30:04.160 Help me develop a
00:30:05.180 character with a
00:30:06.620 flaw.
00:30:08.020 Got to have a
00:30:08.700 flaw, or I don't
00:30:09.480 want it, and not
00:30:10.760 one of these weak
00:30:11.820 flaws, like they're
00:30:13.260 inexperienced.
00:30:14.500 I need a real,
00:30:16.160 give me a genuine
00:30:17.000 flaw.
00:30:17.460 But you need to
00:30:19.280 develop it for me,
00:30:20.680 and then I'll
00:30:21.540 operate with it.
00:30:23.380 Now, is that
00:30:26.420 too woke?
00:30:28.580 Have I gone too
00:30:29.500 far to the other
00:30:30.180 side to say, hey,
00:30:31.820 give me a hand on
00:30:32.540 this?
00:30:33.080 I don't think so.
00:30:34.440 Because I'm saying
00:30:35.220 that there's something
00:30:35.960 that I can't do.
00:30:37.400 I'm just in a
00:30:38.060 situation where, like,
00:30:39.880 it wouldn't work if
00:30:40.720 I do it.
00:30:41.140 That's just a
00:30:41.640 practical statement.
00:30:43.360 If I get a hand,
00:30:44.740 maybe I can do it.
00:30:45.780 And then I have
00:30:46.680 more diversity in
00:30:48.120 the strip.
00:30:48.760 I don't know how
00:30:49.300 it would.
00:30:50.200 Somebody says it's
00:30:50.940 pandering.
00:30:51.880 So that's what I
00:30:52.460 was getting for.
00:30:53.320 I don't think it
00:30:54.080 is.
00:30:55.000 I don't think that
00:30:56.120 evolving your
00:30:58.760 product to be
00:31:00.500 more compatible
00:31:01.440 with the customers
00:31:02.340 is pandering.
00:31:04.340 I think that's
00:31:04.940 commerce, right?
00:31:08.000 Pandering feels
00:31:08.920 different.
00:31:09.440 Pandering feels
00:31:10.060 like you're doing
00:31:10.700 it just for
00:31:12.740 maybe looks.
00:31:14.120 or you're doing
00:31:15.500 it just to make
00:31:16.380 somebody happy.
00:31:17.600 That would not
00:31:18.360 be my motivation.
00:31:19.640 My motivation
00:31:20.300 would be to have
00:31:21.060 a product which
00:31:21.940 more people like.
00:31:22.740 That's it.
00:31:23.660 And be polite.
00:31:24.900 Just be polite
00:31:25.680 and have a product
00:31:26.320 people like.
00:31:27.160 All right.
00:31:27.640 I'm repeating
00:31:28.100 myself too much.
00:31:29.440 And thank you
00:31:29.940 for pointing that
00:31:30.720 out.
00:31:31.620 There's a company
00:31:32.240 called MyHeritage.
00:31:33.720 All one word.
00:31:34.880 MyHeritage.
00:31:36.100 In which you can
00:31:36.720 take an old
00:31:37.320 photo and they
00:31:38.960 will animate it.
00:31:41.020 Like a Harry
00:31:41.960 Potter photo that
00:31:43.020 moves.
00:31:43.440 So you can
00:31:44.380 just take an
00:31:44.920 old photo of
00:31:45.900 your grandparents
00:31:46.540 and turn it
00:31:47.900 into a photo
00:31:48.480 where the head
00:31:49.740 instead of just
00:31:50.420 looking at you
00:31:50.980 like it's still
00:31:51.520 a photo is
00:31:52.480 looking around
00:31:53.020 a little bit.
00:31:55.180 Look around
00:31:55.820 the room.
00:31:56.680 Now how hard
00:31:57.260 would it be to
00:31:57.900 take it to the
00:31:58.420 next step where
00:31:59.640 the photos all
00:32:00.640 follow you when
00:32:01.380 you're walking
00:32:01.840 around?
00:32:03.720 That's going to
00:32:04.360 happen.
00:32:05.720 So this is fun.
00:32:07.700 In the world of
00:32:08.440 deep fakes even
00:32:09.400 our photographs will
00:32:10.380 come to life.
00:32:11.820 And already have.
00:32:12.440 So this is
00:32:13.160 current technology.
00:32:14.800 There's nothing
00:32:15.380 about this that
00:32:16.200 is speculative.
00:32:17.960 This is right
00:32:18.640 now.
00:32:19.240 And they look
00:32:19.780 really, really
00:32:20.540 real.
00:32:22.200 A lot of people
00:32:22.920 saying what's
00:32:23.600 going to happen
00:32:23.980 when the deep
00:32:24.740 fakes are so
00:32:25.400 good that you
00:32:26.460 can make a
00:32:27.140 famous actor
00:32:28.040 with the
00:32:29.920 software.
00:32:31.980 Does the
00:32:32.500 original actor
00:32:33.440 own their
00:32:34.520 face?
00:32:36.300 What do you
00:32:36.920 think?
00:32:37.220 does Tom
00:32:38.600 Cruz own his
00:32:40.020 face if
00:32:41.440 somebody wanted
00:32:42.020 to make a
00:32:42.500 deep fake and
00:32:43.100 then make a
00:32:43.560 movie about
00:32:44.040 it?
00:32:45.780 Is there a
00:32:47.280 lawyer here?
00:32:48.760 Because I don't
00:32:49.380 know the answer
00:32:49.820 to that question.
00:32:51.980 And what would
00:32:52.860 it take for it
00:32:53.660 not to be
00:32:56.020 owned by Tom
00:32:57.800 Cruz?
00:32:58.120 Suppose you
00:33:00.080 took Tom
00:33:00.520 Cruz and you
00:33:01.280 made him
00:33:02.040 black.
00:33:04.880 But otherwise
00:33:05.480 it looks just
00:33:06.300 like him.
00:33:07.060 Does Tom
00:33:07.680 Cruz still
00:33:08.560 own it?
00:33:09.340 Or did you
00:33:09.840 modify it
00:33:10.420 enough?
00:33:10.740 Somebody says
00:33:13.300 he should.
00:33:14.780 Why?
00:33:16.560 Now he
00:33:17.400 should if you
00:33:18.500 were trying to
00:33:19.080 sell a movie
00:33:19.740 as if it were
00:33:22.020 the real Tom
00:33:22.980 Cruz.
00:33:23.900 Now if
00:33:24.260 somebody's trying
00:33:24.760 to sell a
00:33:25.340 deep fake as
00:33:26.280 the real person
00:33:27.060 that's definitely
00:33:27.820 illegal.
00:33:28.600 No question
00:33:29.100 about that.
00:33:30.180 But suppose
00:33:31.280 somebody makes
00:33:31.920 a movie and
00:33:32.540 they say we're
00:33:33.460 going to make
00:33:33.860 a software
00:33:34.940 version of Tom
00:33:35.800 Cruz but we're
00:33:36.880 not going to
00:33:37.340 try to fool
00:33:37.900 you.
00:33:38.860 We're just
00:33:39.360 doing it in
00:33:39.880 software.
00:33:40.200 It's not
00:33:40.720 really Tom
00:33:41.220 Cruz.
00:33:41.600 He has
00:33:41.800 nothing to
00:33:42.220 do with
00:33:42.460 this.
00:33:43.460 Is that
00:33:43.840 illegal?
00:33:45.620 I don't
00:33:46.380 know but
00:33:48.160 I'll bet
00:33:48.660 it's legal
00:33:49.380 only because
00:33:50.920 the law
00:33:51.460 didn't
00:33:52.160 anticipate
00:33:52.740 it.
00:33:53.640 Yeah it
00:33:54.000 would not
00:33:54.420 be a
00:33:55.660 counterfeit
00:33:56.300 if you
00:33:57.420 labeled it
00:33:58.280 correctly.
00:33:59.060 It's only
00:33:59.460 the false
00:34:00.160 labeling that
00:34:00.760 gets you
00:34:01.040 in trouble.
00:34:01.620 Am I
00:34:01.800 right?
00:34:02.760 So here's
00:34:03.760 my prediction
00:34:04.360 that you
00:34:05.380 will not
00:34:06.060 see big
00:34:07.520 movie studios
00:34:08.380 trying to
00:34:09.620 make movies
00:34:10.180 with fake
00:34:11.500 versions of
00:34:12.280 real people.
00:34:13.860 There will
00:34:14.500 be some
00:34:14.900 of it but
00:34:15.880 it will be
00:34:16.260 a transitional
00:34:17.100 period.
00:34:18.480 In other
00:34:18.760 words there
00:34:19.240 will be a
00:34:19.780 period in
00:34:20.240 history in
00:34:21.260 which maybe
00:34:21.840 you put a
00:34:23.820 younger Paul
00:34:25.120 Newman into
00:34:25.740 a movie or
00:34:27.180 a younger
00:34:28.040 any actor
00:34:28.780 into a movie
00:34:29.540 and maybe the
00:34:30.500 real actor is
00:34:31.200 still associated
00:34:32.080 and agrees that
00:34:33.400 their younger
00:34:33.860 self will be
00:34:34.480 there.
00:34:35.200 Maybe they
00:34:35.540 even do the
00:34:35.980 voice.
00:34:37.020 Maybe somebody
00:34:37.500 does the
00:34:37.880 voice of their
00:34:38.600 own younger
00:34:39.120 character.
00:34:41.020 So you
00:34:41.560 can see a
00:34:41.900 period where
00:34:42.280 that happens.
00:34:43.000 But long
00:34:43.460 term the
00:34:43.920 economics guarantee
00:34:44.980 that it will
00:34:46.260 not be real
00:34:46.940 actors that
00:34:47.800 the fakes
00:34:48.940 are.
00:34:49.740 In the
00:34:49.980 long term
00:34:50.600 simple
00:34:51.700 economics and
00:34:52.520 by the way
00:34:52.860 have I ever
00:34:53.280 taught you
00:34:53.740 that if you
00:34:54.240 had economics
00:34:55.000 to your
00:34:55.400 talent stack
00:34:56.140 you can see
00:34:57.020 around corners?
00:34:58.980 A simple
00:34:59.760 understanding of
00:35:00.460 economics just
00:35:02.240 lets you see
00:35:02.760 the future.
00:35:03.740 Because money
00:35:04.240 talks, money
00:35:05.280 is predictable,
00:35:05.940 people are
00:35:07.000 predictable when
00:35:07.720 it comes to
00:35:08.400 money.
00:35:09.020 So whatever
00:35:09.380 money is
00:35:10.040 involved you
00:35:10.960 immediately become
00:35:12.020 very predictable
00:35:12.860 because people
00:35:13.860 act the same
00:35:14.540 way around it.
00:35:15.580 And here's the
00:35:16.040 predictable part.
00:35:17.560 Why would you
00:35:18.060 pay Tom Cruise?
00:35:19.920 Tom Cruise is
00:35:20.960 expensive.
00:35:22.040 If you're going
00:35:23.060 to work with
00:35:23.660 him, and you
00:35:24.640 probably would,
00:35:25.560 to use his
00:35:26.420 CGI deep
00:35:27.840 fake, that's
00:35:29.200 really expensive.
00:35:30.780 Do you know
00:35:31.200 what's better
00:35:31.600 than that?
00:35:32.580 Making a
00:35:33.340 version that's
00:35:34.040 not Tom Cruise
00:35:34.940 that's better
00:35:35.540 than him?
00:35:36.440 Because Tom
00:35:37.320 Cruise, as
00:35:38.780 engaging as
00:35:39.540 he is, he's
00:35:40.820 not the best
00:35:41.620 looking guy in
00:35:42.320 the world.
00:35:43.900 Wouldn't you
00:35:44.240 like a taller
00:35:46.120 Tom Cruise?
00:35:48.520 See where I'm
00:35:49.360 going?
00:35:49.800 Tom Cruise is
00:35:50.680 5'6".
00:35:52.040 Wouldn't you
00:35:52.880 want a taller
00:35:53.520 one?
00:35:54.280 Come on.
00:35:55.180 Of course you
00:35:55.660 wouldn't.
00:35:56.360 So why would
00:35:56.900 you make one
00:35:58.280 that looks just
00:35:59.080 like the star
00:36:00.900 when it would
00:36:01.860 be trivially
00:36:02.600 easy to make
00:36:03.260 a better one?
00:36:03.760 Do you
00:36:05.080 think that
00:36:05.640 Tom Cruise
00:36:07.380 is, let's
00:36:09.040 say, what
00:36:10.220 do you call
00:36:10.520 it, symmetrical?
00:36:13.060 Probably not.
00:36:14.340 I think the
00:36:14.800 thing is his
00:36:15.380 nose is a
00:36:16.000 little weird,
00:36:16.540 right?
00:36:17.480 All you do
00:36:18.380 is start with
00:36:19.180 what's good,
00:36:20.040 and then the
00:36:20.520 AI will very
00:36:21.520 rapidly figure out
00:36:22.380 what people
00:36:22.780 want to look
00:36:23.300 at.
00:36:23.880 It will
00:36:24.260 create characters
00:36:25.760 based on what
00:36:26.440 people like the
00:36:27.220 most.
00:36:27.940 You can even
00:36:28.400 do it in
00:36:28.800 real time.
00:36:29.720 Just show you
00:36:30.380 a character,
00:36:31.040 which of these
00:36:31.860 two do you
00:36:32.240 like better.
00:36:33.220 People would
00:36:33.740 vote, and as
00:36:34.480 people are
00:36:34.860 voting, the
00:36:35.500 AI is changing
00:36:36.380 the choices,
00:36:37.820 so that it
00:36:39.160 just builds in
00:36:40.480 real time the
00:36:41.100 perfect character
00:36:41.860 that everybody
00:36:42.440 wants to see.
00:36:44.260 That's the one
00:36:45.060 you want to
00:36:45.460 get.
00:36:46.300 You don't want
00:36:46.920 the crappy
00:36:47.580 old looks-like
00:36:48.540 Tom Cruise
00:36:49.280 with all of
00:36:50.960 his pimples and 0.54
00:36:52.200 warts and his
00:36:52.880 five-foot-six
00:36:53.860 and he's getting
00:36:54.640 older.
00:36:55.760 Why would you
00:36:56.340 want that?
00:36:57.120 Why would you
00:36:57.540 pay twice as
00:36:58.460 much for the
00:36:59.960 thing that's
00:37:00.360 clearly worse?
00:37:01.860 In the long
00:37:02.600 run, regular
00:37:03.720 actors will be
00:37:04.540 replaced.
00:37:05.620 There's no
00:37:05.920 possibility it
00:37:08.420 could go
00:37:08.720 another way
00:37:09.300 in the long
00:37:10.460 run.
00:37:10.740 No possibility
00:37:11.600 it could go
00:37:12.620 any other way
00:37:13.200 because of
00:37:13.540 economics.
00:37:17.600 All right.
00:37:20.780 Have you
00:37:21.360 seen that
00:37:21.880 Twitter does
00:37:23.580 this thing
00:37:24.060 where they'll
00:37:25.200 note that the
00:37:25.860 comments may
00:37:26.620 have some
00:37:27.000 offensive ones
00:37:27.980 and you can't
00:37:29.340 read the rest
00:37:29.840 of the comments
00:37:30.360 until you click
00:37:31.080 on a thing
00:37:31.780 that says
00:37:32.140 they may
00:37:32.520 be offensive
00:37:33.000 and then
00:37:34.000 you click
00:37:34.400 on it
00:37:34.800 and there's
00:37:35.900 nothing offensive
00:37:36.600 there, even
00:37:37.900 slightly?
00:37:39.820 Is this another
00:37:40.840 shadow banning
00:37:41.540 technique?
00:37:42.760 I'm trying to
00:37:43.620 understand what
00:37:44.380 it is because
00:37:45.780 it feels like
00:37:46.460 just another
00:37:47.160 way to hide
00:37:48.260 stuff from
00:37:49.040 certain people
00:37:49.760 but not others.
00:37:51.020 Now, I don't
00:37:52.160 have direct
00:37:53.280 evidence that
00:37:54.160 that's the
00:37:54.600 purpose of it,
00:37:55.340 but what I
00:37:56.380 also don't
00:37:57.060 have is
00:37:57.720 any clue
00:37:58.740 what would
00:37:59.740 be a
00:38:00.000 different
00:38:00.480 reason for
00:38:01.180 it.
00:38:02.480 Can you
00:38:03.080 think of
00:38:03.440 any reason
00:38:03.960 that most
00:38:05.300 of my
00:38:05.760 comments
00:38:06.280 would be
00:38:06.920 hidden that
00:38:07.380 way when
00:38:08.960 none of
00:38:09.440 them are
00:38:09.820 offensive or
00:38:10.960 even a
00:38:11.420 little bit?
00:38:13.400 What is
00:38:14.200 the second
00:38:14.820 possible reason
00:38:15.820 for that?
00:38:16.720 I can't
00:38:17.140 think of
00:38:17.400 one.
00:38:18.380 Now, again,
00:38:19.340 if I've
00:38:20.060 taught you
00:38:20.380 this a million
00:38:20.880 times, you
00:38:21.880 have to be
00:38:22.300 careful that
00:38:22.920 the real
00:38:23.260 problem here
00:38:23.820 is the
00:38:24.240 limit of
00:38:24.720 your own
00:38:25.100 imagination.
00:38:26.600 So I'm
00:38:26.840 saying, think
00:38:28.800 of all the
00:38:29.820 other reasons
00:38:31.120 that some
00:38:32.760 comments would
00:38:33.480 be routinely
00:38:34.180 hidden that
00:38:35.260 way.
00:38:37.200 I can't
00:38:38.080 think of
00:38:38.360 one.
00:38:39.280 Maybe
00:38:39.660 technical
00:38:40.700 limitations?
00:38:42.620 Maybe
00:38:43.000 there's an
00:38:44.040 AI that's
00:38:45.060 not so
00:38:45.580 smart that
00:38:46.900 they can't
00:38:47.300 tell the
00:38:47.620 difference?
00:38:48.580 Is it that
00:38:49.160 people reported
00:38:50.160 some comments
00:38:51.040 and they
00:38:53.060 report maybe
00:38:53.800 conservative
00:38:54.440 stuff more
00:38:55.080 than others?
00:38:56.580 Maybe.
00:38:57.900 Yeah, I
00:38:58.280 suppose if you
00:38:58.880 really stretch
00:38:59.740 your imagination
00:39:00.280 you could
00:39:00.960 kind of, sort
00:39:02.420 of, imagine
00:39:02.920 some other
00:39:03.600 reason that
00:39:04.060 might be
00:39:04.380 happening.
00:39:05.580 But it's
00:39:06.260 a stretch,
00:39:06.840 isn't it?
00:39:07.640 It's a stretch.
00:39:08.440 We live in a
00:39:08.980 world in which
00:39:09.660 if it looks
00:39:10.680 like it's
00:39:11.580 obvious some
00:39:12.780 bad behavior
00:39:14.000 is happening,
00:39:15.400 it probably
00:39:15.880 is.
00:39:16.640 It probably
00:39:17.420 is.
00:39:19.080 Somebody
00:39:19.520 says YouTube
00:39:20.080 is frozen?
00:39:20.700 It looks
00:39:23.260 like it's
00:39:23.540 working to
00:39:24.040 me.
00:39:25.880 Anyway,
00:39:28.460 Biden is
00:39:29.160 considering
00:39:29.620 putting sanctions
00:39:30.540 on Putin,
00:39:32.260 I guess,
00:39:33.020 over the
00:39:33.660 jailing of
00:39:34.540 Navalny,
00:39:35.320 the Putin
00:39:35.680 critic,
00:39:36.820 and the
00:39:37.220 crackdown on
00:39:37.820 the protests.
00:39:40.040 And there's
00:39:41.080 some intelligence
00:39:41.780 review,
00:39:42.720 blah, blah,
00:39:42.940 blah, blah.
00:39:43.240 What do
00:39:46.060 you think
00:39:46.500 Biden's
00:39:48.080 going to
00:39:48.300 do with
00:39:48.820 Russia? 0.61
00:39:50.100 Because they've
00:39:50.780 been criticizing
00:39:51.540 Trump forever,
00:39:53.220 but what else
00:39:54.920 is there to
00:39:55.380 do?
00:39:56.420 Like, how
00:39:56.780 many tools
00:39:58.140 does Biden
00:39:59.260 even have?
00:40:00.720 What the hell
00:40:01.180 is he going
00:40:01.540 to do?
00:40:02.500 I feel as if
00:40:03.400 he's trapped
00:40:04.020 here as he
00:40:04.880 is trapped
00:40:05.360 in many
00:40:05.740 cases,
00:40:06.620 in which he'll
00:40:07.700 end up just
00:40:08.360 doing something
00:40:08.940 that looks
00:40:09.340 like what
00:40:09.740 Trump did.
00:40:10.180 If you
00:40:11.720 look, if
00:40:12.200 you know
00:40:12.660 the Khashoggi 0.99
00:40:13.360 story,
00:40:14.120 the Saudi
00:40:15.880 Arabia situation
00:40:16.920 where MBS
00:40:20.080 allegedly ordered
00:40:21.860 the death
00:40:23.540 of Khashoggi,
00:40:24.820 when it
00:40:25.480 came out,
00:40:26.820 Biden did
00:40:27.480 exactly what
00:40:28.520 Trump would
00:40:29.140 have done,
00:40:29.640 which is let
00:40:30.460 the leader
00:40:30.900 slide.
00:40:32.780 Just let
00:40:33.200 it slide.
00:40:34.200 So there's
00:40:34.640 not really
00:40:35.260 any serious
00:40:36.260 difference yet
00:40:36.920 between Biden
00:40:37.800 and Trump
00:40:38.640 on the
00:40:38.980 international
00:40:39.440 stuff.
00:40:39.820 And the
00:40:40.340 things where
00:40:40.740 there's a
00:40:41.100 clear difference
00:40:41.780 seems to
00:40:42.460 be trivial,
00:40:43.900 such as
00:40:44.480 rejoining the
00:40:45.440 Paris Climate
00:40:46.780 Accord.
00:40:47.660 It doesn't
00:40:48.020 really matter.
00:40:49.680 So all the
00:40:50.460 important stuff
00:40:51.140 is the same
00:40:51.720 as Trump,
00:40:52.680 and the
00:40:53.040 unimportant
00:40:53.600 stuff,
00:40:54.160 well,
00:40:54.620 doesn't
00:40:54.940 matter.
00:40:59.000 And I
00:40:59.660 guess Biden
00:41:01.280 is also
00:41:01.760 looking at
00:41:02.220 the reports
00:41:02.680 that Russia 0.72
00:41:03.240 allegedly placed
00:41:04.680 bounties on
00:41:05.500 U.S.
00:41:05.920 soldiers in
00:41:06.480 Afghanistan.
00:41:08.160 Now remember
00:41:08.640 that Trump
00:41:09.800 was criticized
00:41:10.800 for not
00:41:11.420 acting on
00:41:12.080 that.
00:41:13.360 But the
00:41:14.060 other part
00:41:14.420 of the
00:41:14.640 story is
00:41:15.160 there was
00:41:15.980 no evidence
00:41:16.700 of it.
00:41:18.500 So Trump
00:41:18.940 was criticized
00:41:19.660 for not
00:41:20.340 acting on
00:41:21.060 what Democrats
00:41:21.860 said was
00:41:22.360 real,
00:41:22.960 but the
00:41:23.760 intelligence
00:41:24.220 agency said
00:41:25.260 we can't
00:41:25.740 find it.
00:41:27.540 And now
00:41:28.060 Biden,
00:41:28.720 being on the
00:41:29.200 side that
00:41:29.940 said it
00:41:30.260 was real,
00:41:31.260 it's his
00:41:31.880 job to do
00:41:32.480 something about
00:41:33.060 the thing
00:41:33.520 that his
00:41:34.540 own people
00:41:35.000 say isn't
00:41:35.560 real,
00:41:36.240 but when he
00:41:36.980 was out of
00:41:37.380 office he
00:41:37.860 said it was
00:41:38.280 real,
00:41:38.840 or his
00:41:39.080 people did.
00:41:39.700 I don't
00:41:39.860 know how
00:41:40.080 much he
00:41:40.400 said about
00:41:40.780 it.
00:41:41.400 So how
00:41:41.640 do you
00:41:41.800 handle that?
00:41:43.360 How do
00:41:43.860 you handle
00:41:44.140 it?
00:41:44.940 I don't
00:41:45.260 know.
00:41:45.620 I think
00:41:45.840 Biden's
00:41:46.260 kind of
00:41:46.660 in a
00:41:47.260 corner.
00:41:51.920 So there's
00:41:52.940 a top-rated
00:41:54.360 Arizona news
00:41:55.220 anchor who
00:41:55.740 resigned because
00:41:56.920 she didn't
00:41:57.740 want to
00:41:58.120 report fake
00:42:00.260 news anymore.
00:42:02.580 This is
00:42:03.200 somebody who
00:42:03.580 worked on a
00:42:04.060 local Fox
00:42:05.140 affiliate,
00:42:06.420 Carrie Lake.
00:42:07.380 she resigned
00:42:08.440 basically because
00:42:09.940 she didn't
00:42:10.280 want to report
00:42:10.800 fake news
00:42:11.380 anymore.
00:42:13.260 Think you'll
00:42:13.980 see more of
00:42:14.440 that?
00:42:14.800 I don't
00:42:15.320 know.
00:42:16.500 So let's
00:42:17.340 talk about
00:42:17.740 Governor Cuomo.
00:42:18.700 He's got his
00:42:19.320 third accuser
00:42:20.400 now.
00:42:21.180 If there's
00:42:21.920 one thing
00:42:22.400 that you
00:42:22.740 can guarantee,
00:42:24.180 if there's
00:42:25.180 a famous
00:42:25.820 politician who
00:42:26.880 has two
00:42:27.500 accusers of
00:42:29.080 sexual harassment,
00:42:30.840 you can bet
00:42:31.960 there'll be a
00:42:32.580 third.
00:42:33.980 You always
00:42:34.800 get the
00:42:35.180 third.
00:42:35.480 third, it
00:42:36.760 must be some
00:42:37.320 law of the
00:42:37.980 universe that
00:42:38.640 if there are
00:42:39.160 two, there
00:42:39.600 are always
00:42:39.980 three.
00:42:40.800 Because when
00:42:41.360 two people
00:42:41.840 come forward,
00:42:43.220 then it
00:42:43.580 becomes a lot
00:42:44.100 easier for
00:42:44.680 the third
00:42:45.080 one to
00:42:45.380 come.
00:42:46.000 And if
00:42:46.280 there are
00:42:46.720 two, there
00:42:47.940 almost certainly
00:42:48.760 are more.
00:42:50.720 So apparently
00:42:52.920 what he said
00:42:53.600 at a public
00:42:56.020 gathering, so
00:42:56.720 this had
00:42:57.020 nothing to do
00:42:57.600 with any of
00:42:58.040 his employees,
00:42:58.860 but this is
00:42:59.300 the latest
00:42:59.780 thing.
00:43:00.760 He was
00:43:01.460 holding some
00:43:02.460 woman by the
00:43:03.140 head, and
00:43:04.360 the alleged
00:43:05.020 ask, can
00:43:05.880 I kiss
00:43:06.320 you?
00:43:07.700 And I
00:43:07.980 don't even
00:43:08.260 think it
00:43:08.560 was somebody
00:43:08.900 who knew
00:43:09.200 that well,
00:43:09.920 just sort
00:43:10.520 of somebody
00:43:10.900 who was
00:43:11.140 interacting
00:43:11.580 with at
00:43:11.960 a bar.
00:43:13.140 And she
00:43:13.660 was offended,
00:43:14.300 and she's
00:43:14.700 talking about
00:43:15.200 this.
00:43:15.540 Now the
00:43:15.800 first thing
00:43:16.160 I'd like
00:43:16.480 to add is
00:43:18.100 that Governor
00:43:18.940 Cuomo really
00:43:20.840 doesn't have
00:43:21.440 much game.
00:43:25.200 He's really
00:43:26.080 lacking
00:43:26.700 something in
00:43:28.880 the flirtation
00:43:29.780 department.
00:43:31.340 There's like a
00:43:31.940 gene missing 0.58
00:43:32.720 or something.
00:43:34.380 Because if
00:43:35.120 there's one
00:43:35.520 thing that,
00:43:37.460 let me ask
00:43:38.760 you this to
00:43:40.000 the women 0.97
00:43:40.520 watching this.
00:43:42.020 So this
00:43:42.580 question is
00:43:43.140 just for the
00:43:43.620 women. 0.81
00:43:44.580 If you're a 0.88
00:43:45.100 man, don't
00:43:46.180 answer.
00:43:46.940 Because I
00:43:47.320 want to know
00:43:47.780 that the
00:43:48.040 answer is only
00:43:48.520 from women.
00:43:49.720 For only
00:43:50.600 women, here's 1.00
00:43:51.220 the question.
00:43:52.340 What do you
00:43:52.800 think of a
00:43:53.340 man who asks
00:43:55.220 you if he
00:43:55.760 can kiss
00:43:56.180 you?
00:43:58.380 Versus
00:43:58.860 just taking
00:44:00.920 a shot and
00:44:01.700 being turned
00:44:02.340 down or
00:44:02.720 not.
00:44:03.840 What is
00:44:04.140 your feeling
00:44:04.620 of somebody
00:44:05.080 who asks
00:44:05.820 if they
00:44:06.420 can kiss
00:44:07.000 you?
00:44:08.260 Go ahead.
00:44:08.840 Just the
00:44:09.160 women. 0.81
00:44:09.760 Just the
00:44:10.280 women. 0.81
00:44:13.680 And I
00:44:14.440 won't know
00:44:15.120 exactly if
00:44:15.820 it's just
00:44:16.180 the women 0.97
00:44:16.500 answering,
00:44:17.160 so I'll
00:44:17.400 go tell
00:44:17.840 you.
00:44:18.900 Somebody
00:44:19.240 says,
00:44:19.800 yuck, 0.75
00:44:20.320 go for
00:44:20.840 it.
00:44:22.180 Lame,
00:44:22.800 weak,
00:44:23.220 insecure,
00:44:24.340 creepy,
00:44:25.820 drunk or
00:44:26.400 drunk of
00:44:26.820 power.
00:44:27.460 No.
00:44:28.440 Depends
00:44:28.780 if you're
00:44:29.100 married.
00:44:30.480 Low T,
00:44:31.200 weak,
00:44:31.640 loser.
00:44:31.900 I think
00:44:32.260 this is
00:44:32.600 the men
00:44:32.900 saying
00:44:33.200 that.
00:44:34.620 Coward.
00:44:36.160 Depends
00:44:36.680 on the
00:44:36.940 man.
00:44:37.900 Asking
00:44:38.300 is lame.
00:44:39.040 Wet
00:44:39.240 blanket.
00:44:40.300 Somebody
00:44:40.520 says I
00:44:40.920 like it.
00:44:43.240 A woman,
00:44:44.160 I assume.
00:44:45.620 Loser,
00:44:46.260 but in
00:44:46.500 this day
00:44:46.920 safer.
00:44:47.680 Wimp,
00:44:48.120 gross,
00:44:48.580 beta.
00:44:49.320 Yes,
00:44:49.760 polite.
00:44:51.040 I see
00:44:51.440 no way
00:44:52.400 buddy.
00:44:54.080 Male
00:44:54.540 feminists. 0.94
00:44:55.800 Just looking
00:44:56.260 at your
00:44:56.480 comments.
00:44:56.900 Beta,
00:44:57.540 no,
00:44:58.600 no good.
00:45:00.320 Yeah.
00:45:00.940 Well,
00:45:01.580 so there
00:45:02.040 is not
00:45:02.480 an agreement
00:45:03.860 on this.
00:45:05.240 Here's my
00:45:06.560 best take
00:45:07.280 on this.
00:45:08.580 I do
00:45:09.000 believe we
00:45:09.580 still live
00:45:10.280 in a world
00:45:10.740 where women 0.97
00:45:11.580 would prefer
00:45:12.280 you to
00:45:12.860 make the
00:45:13.280 move.
00:45:14.640 I think
00:45:15.040 we live
00:45:15.380 in a world
00:45:15.800 where they
00:45:16.200 prefer that
00:45:17.140 you make
00:45:17.480 the move.
00:45:18.620 But here's
00:45:19.120 the wrinkle.
00:45:20.580 Don't be an
00:45:21.380 idiot about it. 0.89
00:45:23.440 Nobody likes
00:45:24.300 it if there
00:45:25.540 are no
00:45:25.900 signs that
00:45:27.500 it would
00:45:27.760 be warranted.
00:45:29.480 Like,
00:45:29.760 if you're
00:45:30.080 trying to
00:45:30.440 kiss somebody
00:45:31.080 and there
00:45:31.940 are no
00:45:32.540 signs that
00:45:34.100 this would
00:45:34.460 be acceptable,
00:45:36.100 well,
00:45:36.380 that's a
00:45:36.700 pretty big
00:45:37.120 problem,
00:45:37.620 and it
00:45:37.960 looks like
00:45:38.400 maybe
00:45:38.760 Governor
00:45:39.860 Cuomo has
00:45:40.640 that problem.
00:45:41.520 We can't
00:45:42.020 tell from
00:45:42.360 one anecdote.
00:45:43.500 But if
00:45:43.880 the anecdote
00:45:44.340 is representative,
00:45:45.580 and we
00:45:45.820 don't know
00:45:46.160 that,
00:45:47.200 it looks
00:45:49.720 like he
00:45:50.060 doesn't have
00:45:50.580 that sensibility.
00:45:52.920 Maybe he
00:45:53.320 can't read
00:45:53.800 people or
00:45:54.920 doesn't care
00:45:55.660 or something,
00:45:56.400 I don't know.
00:45:57.320 But you
00:45:58.400 have to
00:45:58.720 separate the
00:45:59.280 question of
00:45:59.840 whether somebody
00:46:00.580 makes a
00:46:01.200 move without
00:46:01.900 asking from
00:46:03.540 the question
00:46:04.080 of do they
00:46:04.760 have enough
00:46:05.260 sensibility to
00:46:06.840 know when
00:46:07.280 that makes
00:46:07.740 sense and
00:46:08.180 when it
00:46:08.460 doesn't.
00:46:09.620 I don't
00:46:10.360 believe in
00:46:11.240 my whole
00:46:11.660 life I've
00:46:12.320 ever,
00:46:13.560 oh,
00:46:13.880 I'm sure
00:46:14.220 I'm wrong.
00:46:15.480 I'm sure
00:46:16.100 as soon as
00:46:16.500 I say this,
00:46:17.660 somebody from
00:46:18.220 my past will
00:46:18.880 come and say,
00:46:19.780 well,
00:46:19.920 that's not
00:46:20.260 true.
00:46:21.460 I can't
00:46:22.180 think of
00:46:22.620 any time I've
00:46:23.380 ever tried
00:46:23.800 to kiss
00:46:24.280 anybody where
00:46:25.520 I didn't
00:46:25.800 have a good
00:46:26.360 idea I could
00:46:27.020 get away
00:46:27.400 with it.
00:46:30.380 I mean,
00:46:31.020 I'm searching
00:46:31.560 my data
00:46:32.100 memory for
00:46:33.180 decades,
00:46:34.540 I can't
00:46:34.820 think of
00:46:35.280 a time.
00:46:36.720 And have
00:46:37.500 you?
00:46:38.280 Have you
00:46:38.580 ever tried
00:46:38.940 to kiss
00:46:39.300 somebody who
00:46:39.880 had not
00:46:40.260 shown you
00:46:40.760 that they
00:46:41.060 were interested?
00:46:43.600 I mean,
00:46:43.980 it happens
00:46:44.360 a lot,
00:46:44.940 apparently.
00:46:47.280 And because
00:46:49.200 it's slow
00:46:49.720 news time,
00:46:51.280 Cuomo's
00:46:51.780 getting extra
00:46:52.640 lambasted 1.00
00:46:54.100 here.
00:46:55.180 Now,
00:46:55.660 there's also
00:46:56.420 some photos
00:46:58.320 of him
00:46:58.820 having,
00:46:59.520 I guess,
00:47:00.580 dinner and
00:47:01.280 some drinks
00:47:01.820 with a
00:47:02.460 female aide. 0.98
00:47:04.240 And there's
00:47:04.700 some indication
00:47:05.460 from the
00:47:06.020 photo,
00:47:06.540 but it's a
00:47:06.920 little hard
00:47:07.320 to tell,
00:47:08.100 that his
00:47:08.440 hand under
00:47:09.160 the table
00:47:09.580 might have
00:47:10.000 been on
00:47:10.360 her leg.
00:47:11.860 Now,
00:47:12.600 you can't
00:47:13.120 tell from
00:47:13.560 the photo,
00:47:14.920 but the
00:47:15.280 photo does
00:47:16.040 at least
00:47:16.500 suggest that
00:47:17.460 his hand is
00:47:18.140 extended a
00:47:18.980 little bit.
00:47:20.260 Might be on
00:47:20.820 a leg,
00:47:21.560 it could
00:47:24.640 be just
00:47:25.000 on the
00:47:25.480 bench
00:47:26.800 next to
00:47:27.440 them,
00:47:27.620 you can't
00:47:27.980 tell.
00:47:29.240 But,
00:47:29.800 of course,
00:47:31.720 since we're
00:47:32.220 primed to
00:47:33.000 think it's
00:47:33.420 bad,
00:47:34.080 it looks
00:47:34.340 bad.
00:47:34.980 Now,
00:47:35.460 I'll tell
00:47:35.720 you,
00:47:35.860 he's making
00:47:36.260 the Pence
00:47:36.720 rule look
00:47:37.180 good.
00:47:38.260 The Mike
00:47:39.120 Pence rule
00:47:39.660 that he
00:47:39.940 would not
00:47:40.320 have a
00:47:41.260 meal,
00:47:42.140 he won't
00:47:42.540 go to
00:47:42.820 lunch with
00:47:43.920 just a
00:47:44.320 woman, 1.00
00:47:45.060 unless
00:47:45.660 somebody else
00:47:46.120 is there
00:47:46.460 or else
00:47:46.700 he brings
00:47:46.980 his wife.
00:47:48.100 Now,
00:47:48.300 the Pence
00:47:48.580 rule sounded
00:47:49.140 ridiculous.
00:47:50.820 The first
00:47:51.580 time you
00:47:51.880 ever heard
00:47:52.300 it,
00:47:52.900 didn't it?
00:47:53.620 The first
00:47:54.200 time you
00:47:54.540 heard that,
00:47:55.060 it's like,
00:47:55.340 are you
00:47:55.620 serious,
00:47:57.040 Mike Pence?
00:47:57.600 In a
00:47:57.980 business
00:47:58.360 setting,
00:47:59.320 you would
00:48:00.040 not go
00:48:00.460 to lunch,
00:48:01.640 a business
00:48:02.240 lunch,
00:48:03.540 with a
00:48:04.000 female who 0.99
00:48:06.640 had every
00:48:07.300 right to be
00:48:07.780 there and
00:48:08.280 you had
00:48:08.520 business.
00:48:09.140 You wouldn't
00:48:09.640 do that.
00:48:11.460 Didn't that
00:48:11.900 seem like the
00:48:12.600 dumbest thing?
00:48:13.940 Yeah.
00:48:15.560 Not so much
00:48:16.420 now.
00:48:17.700 This is why.
00:48:18.400 And we're
00:48:19.400 also seeing
00:48:19.900 Republican
00:48:20.580 Representative
00:48:21.280 Madison
00:48:21.960 Cawthorn,
00:48:23.240 a young,
00:48:24.220 very young
00:48:24.760 guy,
00:48:25.460 who's being
00:48:25.820 blamed for
00:48:26.220 things he
00:48:26.520 did in
00:48:26.780 college that
00:48:27.840 made women
00:48:28.460 uncomfortable.
00:48:30.120 And so I
00:48:30.460 asked this
00:48:31.040 online.
00:48:32.260 I said,
00:48:33.320 what percent
00:48:33.940 of men
00:48:36.220 do you
00:48:38.560 think have
00:48:39.600 engaged in
00:48:40.520 something that
00:48:41.140 was sexually
00:48:43.220 inappropriate,
00:48:44.680 by modern
00:48:45.440 standards,
00:48:46.160 sexually 0.61
00:48:46.560 inappropriate,
00:48:47.040 either sexual
00:48:48.300 harassment,
00:48:49.120 words,
00:48:49.800 touching,
00:48:50.280 any of that
00:48:50.860 stuff?
00:48:51.420 What percentage
00:48:52.220 of adult
00:48:53.080 men do you
00:48:53.600 think have
00:48:54.240 participated in
00:48:55.140 that?
00:48:56.160 Now, if you
00:48:56.960 look at my
00:48:57.400 survey, it's
00:48:58.080 interesting because
00:48:58.820 the answers are
00:48:59.700 really spread.
00:49:02.360 There are just
00:49:03.720 as many people
00:49:04.420 who think only
00:49:05.200 20% of men
00:49:06.700 ish have
00:49:08.700 ever done
00:49:09.220 that as
00:49:10.380 there are
00:49:10.640 people who
00:49:11.080 think that
00:49:11.420 90% of
00:49:12.320 men have
00:49:12.660 done that.
00:49:14.200 Think about
00:49:14.640 that.
00:49:15.180 Just as many
00:49:15.800 people think
00:49:16.420 20% of
00:49:17.280 men are
00:49:17.840 sexual
00:49:18.220 harassers as 0.97
00:49:19.420 there are
00:49:19.700 who think
00:49:20.060 90%.
00:49:21.120 That's a
00:49:23.080 big difference.
00:49:24.080 And then the
00:49:24.440 middle is sort
00:49:25.060 of just
00:49:25.400 smeared.
00:49:27.060 In other
00:49:27.380 words, there
00:49:29.280 is a
00:49:29.620 gigantic
00:49:30.340 difference
00:49:31.000 between what
00:49:32.800 people would
00:49:33.600 call, and
00:49:34.320 I'm going to
00:49:34.580 put this in
00:49:35.060 big air
00:49:35.500 quotes,
00:49:36.100 normal.
00:49:37.240 Now, in
00:49:37.740 this case,
00:49:38.240 normal is
00:49:39.160 illegal,
00:49:40.320 literally
00:49:41.200 illegal,
00:49:41.700 if you
00:49:42.960 think it's
00:49:43.380 normal to
00:49:44.640 be sexually 0.51
00:49:45.320 harassing
00:49:45.780 somebody in
00:49:46.340 the office.
00:49:47.200 Literally
00:49:47.620 illegal, at
00:49:48.320 least inappropriate,
00:49:49.480 at the very
00:49:50.180 least.
00:49:51.580 But what
00:49:52.180 percentage of
00:49:52.880 men do you
00:49:53.200 think you
00:49:53.480 have done
00:49:54.040 that over
00:49:54.560 their lifetime?
00:49:56.220 I feel it's
00:49:57.220 close to
00:49:57.660 100%.
00:49:58.480 It's definitely
00:49:59.700 90%.
00:50:00.580 It's definitely
00:50:01.420 not 20%.
00:50:02.760 And if you
00:50:05.660 know any
00:50:06.520 women who 0.99
00:50:07.340 are attractive,
00:50:08.460 and I hope
00:50:08.980 you do, ask
00:50:10.900 them how
00:50:11.380 many times
00:50:12.080 they have
00:50:12.520 been sexually
00:50:13.520 harassed in
00:50:14.540 their lifetime.
00:50:15.740 Or I could
00:50:16.260 even make it
00:50:16.760 simpler.
00:50:17.860 Ask them how
00:50:18.400 many times
00:50:18.840 they've been
00:50:19.220 sexually harassed
00:50:20.300 this week.
00:50:22.720 Just this
00:50:23.480 week.
00:50:24.660 Do you know
00:50:25.260 how many times
00:50:25.840 an attractive 0.55
00:50:26.520 woman gets 1.00
00:50:27.540 sexually harassed
00:50:28.600 in just one
00:50:29.700 week?
00:50:30.800 It's insane.
00:50:33.000 It's just
00:50:33.840 off the
00:50:34.220 chart.
00:50:35.300 It is so
00:50:36.360 mind-boggling
00:50:37.960 that you can't
00:50:38.580 even believe
00:50:39.020 it.
00:50:39.700 Now, I
00:50:40.020 happen to
00:50:40.360 be married
00:50:41.100 to an
00:50:41.680 unusually
00:50:42.240 attractive
00:50:42.840 woman, so 1.00
00:50:43.360 I get to
00:50:43.720 hear the
00:50:44.100 first-hand
00:50:44.640 stories of
00:50:45.400 things that
00:50:46.480 happen today,
00:50:47.700 but also
00:50:48.440 have happened
00:50:49.520 a whole life,
00:50:50.680 and you
00:50:51.460 can't even
00:50:52.180 believe it.
00:50:53.660 It is so
00:50:54.520 beyond anything
00:50:56.800 that a man
00:50:57.440 could even
00:50:58.040 really just
00:50:58.840 understand.
00:51:00.160 I mean, it
00:51:00.580 is so bad.
00:51:02.940 And of course,
00:51:03.620 one assumes
00:51:04.460 that the
00:51:05.400 higher you
00:51:05.880 get in the
00:51:06.500 desirability
00:51:07.220 index, the
00:51:07.860 worse it is.
00:51:08.580 Because people
00:51:09.400 being people.
00:51:10.540 But then I
00:51:11.020 ask the
00:51:11.420 separate question.
00:51:13.240 How many
00:51:13.640 men have
00:51:14.720 been sexually
00:51:15.500 harassed at
00:51:16.240 work, given
00:51:18.140 today's modern
00:51:19.140 standards of
00:51:19.980 what it means
00:51:20.520 to be sexually
00:51:21.240 harassed?
00:51:22.360 How do you
00:51:23.180 think that
00:51:23.520 came out?
00:51:24.980 A lot.
00:51:26.460 A lot of
00:51:27.400 men, over 0.95
00:51:28.260 50%, have
00:51:29.960 been sexually
00:51:30.580 harassed at
00:51:31.140 work by
00:51:31.640 modern standards.
00:51:33.180 Over 50%.
00:51:34.020 50%.
00:51:34.800 And the
00:51:35.860 ones that
00:51:36.240 have not,
00:51:37.500 they're not
00:51:39.480 your good
00:51:39.800 looking men.
00:51:42.720 I can say
00:51:43.540 this about
00:51:44.000 men.
00:51:44.420 I wouldn't
00:51:44.760 say the
00:51:45.100 same thing
00:51:45.480 about women.
00:51:46.620 Because women, 1.00
00:51:47.420 I think, are
00:51:47.780 closer to
00:51:48.420 universally sexually
00:51:49.940 harassed.
00:51:50.520 It's close to
00:51:51.280 all of them.
00:51:52.420 With men, it's 0.99
00:51:53.240 probably close to
00:51:53.900 half.
00:51:55.000 And it's the
00:51:55.560 half that are
00:51:56.580 more attractive
00:51:57.180 to women.
00:51:58.700 And to gay 0.73
00:51:59.620 men, I suppose.
00:52:00.460 Because it's
00:52:00.840 a little
00:52:01.100 bowl.
00:52:02.000 Now, I
00:52:02.460 would say
00:52:02.760 that I've
00:52:03.160 been sexually
00:52:04.060 harassed a
00:52:05.740 bunch of
00:52:06.140 times.
00:52:07.260 I mean, I
00:52:07.640 don't even
00:52:08.040 know how to
00:52:08.320 put a number
00:52:08.920 on it.
00:52:09.840 By modern
00:52:10.680 standards, I've
00:52:12.400 been sexually
00:52:12.980 harassed in
00:52:13.500 the workplace
00:52:14.160 25 times,
00:52:16.820 100 times,
00:52:17.700 I don't know
00:52:18.080 how many times,
00:52:18.760 by modern
00:52:19.320 standards.
00:52:21.060 So I guess
00:52:21.800 I'm like at
00:52:22.480 the bottom of
00:52:23.240 the 50% who,
00:52:24.860 at least when I
00:52:25.380 was young, was
00:52:26.020 worthy of
00:52:26.660 harassing by
00:52:27.880 somebody.
00:52:28.260 Now, I
00:52:30.560 don't think
00:52:30.860 that's even
00:52:31.260 unusual, right?
00:52:32.820 Because if
00:52:33.260 you're counting
00:52:34.180 any off-color
00:52:35.260 joke that
00:52:36.320 was initiated
00:52:37.000 by somebody
00:52:37.680 else, have
00:52:38.840 you ever
00:52:39.100 been the
00:52:40.040 subject of
00:52:40.680 an off-color
00:52:41.520 sexual comment
00:52:43.440 by a woman
00:52:44.080 in the office
00:52:44.720 that you
00:52:45.160 did not
00:52:45.660 start?
00:52:47.000 Of course
00:52:47.360 you have.
00:52:48.140 Of course
00:52:48.540 you have.
00:52:49.040 So if you
00:52:49.440 take it all
00:52:49.880 the way to
00:52:50.520 inappropriate
00:52:51.540 comments by
00:52:52.840 modern standards,
00:52:54.680 yeah, we've
00:52:55.580 all been in
00:52:56.000 that.
00:52:56.160 So this
00:52:58.140 is not
00:53:00.340 meant as
00:53:00.760 any kind
00:53:01.160 of softener
00:53:04.400 or anything
00:53:04.940 for what
00:53:06.260 Governor Cuomo
00:53:06.940 is doing,
00:53:07.820 but it's
00:53:08.380 good context
00:53:09.100 that he's
00:53:10.620 somewhat
00:53:11.120 universally
00:53:11.960 in a category
00:53:13.300 of bad
00:53:13.820 behavior.
00:53:16.120 But that
00:53:16.860 won't matter
00:53:17.400 because it's
00:53:18.540 political.
00:53:20.660 Let me teach
00:53:21.500 you something
00:53:21.860 about willpower.
00:53:23.000 I told you
00:53:23.380 that I would
00:53:23.980 teach you at
00:53:24.540 least one
00:53:24.980 thing every
00:53:25.460 day.
00:53:26.160 Or reinforce
00:53:27.060 something that's
00:53:28.220 worth reinforcing.
00:53:29.640 But I do it
00:53:30.200 through the lens
00:53:30.780 of current
00:53:31.300 events.
00:53:32.140 And this is
00:53:32.640 that time.
00:53:34.880 Here's a
00:53:35.440 topic which
00:53:36.140 I've spoken
00:53:37.020 on before,
00:53:37.860 but when you
00:53:38.200 have a perfect
00:53:38.740 example for it,
00:53:39.940 it helps.
00:53:42.000 Here's a
00:53:43.060 filter to see
00:53:43.940 the world.
00:53:45.120 When I talk
00:53:45.560 about filters,
00:53:46.720 I think I'm
00:53:47.800 going to sneeze
00:53:48.260 in a moment,
00:53:48.880 so excuse me.
00:53:50.080 When I talk
00:53:50.620 about filters,
00:53:51.360 I don't mean
00:53:51.820 what is true
00:53:52.660 or not true.
00:53:53.980 So nothing
00:53:55.160 about this
00:53:55.760 is truth
00:53:56.380 or reality.
00:53:58.100 It's about
00:53:58.540 choosing a
00:53:59.460 filter for
00:54:00.420 looking at
00:54:00.880 your life
00:54:01.960 and your
00:54:02.260 situation
00:54:02.740 that's a
00:54:03.920 useful filter.
00:54:05.420 It doesn't
00:54:05.740 mean it's
00:54:06.040 right.
00:54:06.880 It doesn't
00:54:07.340 mean it's
00:54:07.620 better than
00:54:08.000 other filters.
00:54:08.920 It just
00:54:09.280 means it's
00:54:09.660 useful.
00:54:10.720 Here's one
00:54:11.200 that's useful.
00:54:12.900 Get rid of
00:54:13.540 the idea that
00:54:14.240 free will
00:54:14.780 exists.
00:54:15.780 You can
00:54:16.100 still keep
00:54:16.580 it.
00:54:17.440 You can
00:54:17.880 still keep
00:54:18.400 as one
00:54:18.880 filter that
00:54:19.980 free will
00:54:20.480 is a real
00:54:20.920 thing.
00:54:21.220 In fact,
00:54:21.940 our legal
00:54:22.380 system requires
00:54:24.000 it.
00:54:24.780 In order to
00:54:25.600 punish somebody
00:54:26.480 for a crime,
00:54:27.740 which is
00:54:28.060 necessary to
00:54:28.980 reduce the
00:54:30.140 number of
00:54:30.540 crimes,
00:54:31.600 you have to
00:54:32.240 treat them
00:54:33.160 as though they
00:54:33.800 have free will
00:54:34.480 and that they
00:54:35.100 chose to do
00:54:35.840 the crime.
00:54:36.760 You can't
00:54:37.260 change that.
00:54:37.920 Nobody's come
00:54:38.460 up with a
00:54:38.800 better system.
00:54:39.860 If they do,
00:54:40.420 they'd be great.
00:54:41.020 But we don't
00:54:41.500 have a better
00:54:42.120 system.
00:54:42.980 You have to
00:54:43.800 pretend for
00:54:45.560 the legal
00:54:46.120 system to
00:54:46.780 work.
00:54:47.740 You have to
00:54:48.220 pretend,
00:54:49.340 and that's
00:54:49.640 what a filter
00:54:50.140 is,
00:54:50.580 it's
00:54:50.780 pretending.
00:54:52.180 The free
00:54:52.620 will is a
00:54:53.140 real thing
00:54:53.520 and exists.
00:54:54.760 But when
00:54:55.860 you're trying
00:54:56.220 to decide
00:54:56.740 how to
00:54:57.120 feel about
00:54:57.660 something,
00:54:58.580 you don't
00:54:58.940 have to
00:54:59.240 use that.
00:55:00.080 If you're
00:55:00.500 in the
00:55:00.720 legal system,
00:55:01.360 you have
00:55:01.660 to.
00:55:02.480 Outside
00:55:02.860 it,
00:55:03.140 you don't
00:55:03.420 have to.
00:55:03.820 So you
00:55:04.040 could have
00:55:04.260 a different
00:55:04.600 filter outside
00:55:05.220 the legal
00:55:05.600 system,
00:55:06.340 and this
00:55:06.840 is the
00:55:07.080 one that
00:55:07.380 I use
00:55:07.900 the most.
00:55:08.940 People
00:55:09.300 have urges.
00:55:10.960 Some
00:55:11.240 people have
00:55:11.700 more urges.
00:55:12.780 Some
00:55:12.980 people are
00:55:13.560 hornier
00:55:14.700 than other
00:55:15.120 people.
00:55:16.060 Some
00:55:16.260 people are
00:55:17.940 more selfish.
00:55:19.460 Some
00:55:19.640 people are
00:55:20.000 more afraid.
00:55:21.720 Some
00:55:21.920 people just
00:55:23.600 have different
00:55:24.100 levels of
00:55:24.860 urges.
00:55:26.580 If these
00:55:27.420 urges are
00:55:28.000 low,
00:55:28.760 it's easy
00:55:29.340 for you to
00:55:29.800 stay below
00:55:30.300 the line of
00:55:31.060 bad behavior
00:55:31.760 in any
00:55:32.500 field.
00:55:33.120 Because you
00:55:33.740 don't want
00:55:34.160 to.
00:55:35.060 No effort
00:55:35.880 at all.
00:55:36.260 Well, I don't
00:55:36.960 really even
00:55:37.580 want to do
00:55:38.320 that.
00:55:39.100 I don't have
00:55:39.580 much urge.
00:55:40.180 urge.
00:55:40.900 But as
00:55:41.260 your urge
00:55:41.860 increases,
00:55:43.220 let's say
00:55:43.740 you're getting
00:55:44.140 into a
00:55:44.800 flirty
00:55:45.240 situation or
00:55:47.060 somebody that's
00:55:47.700 starting to
00:55:48.260 activate your
00:55:49.080 mating reflex,
00:55:50.660 there is a
00:55:51.340 point for
00:55:51.920 men, and
00:55:52.920 by the way,
00:55:53.440 can the men
00:55:53.940 watching this
00:55:54.560 confirm this
00:55:55.380 for the
00:55:56.280 benefit of the
00:55:56.840 women? 1.00
00:55:57.520 Because I
00:55:57.860 don't know
00:55:58.140 what it's
00:55:58.420 like to be
00:55:58.800 a woman.
00:55:59.400 I can only
00:55:59.940 speak to a
00:56:00.520 male experience,
00:56:01.800 but I feel
00:56:02.360 I can generalize
00:56:03.340 for the
00:56:04.060 male experience.
00:56:04.880 when you
00:56:06.240 get horny
00:56:06.920 enough, your
00:56:08.500 brain turns
00:56:09.800 off.
00:56:11.020 And I'm
00:56:11.460 pretty sure
00:56:11.980 we're designed
00:56:12.600 that way.
00:56:13.780 I feel like
00:56:14.580 that's a
00:56:15.020 feature and
00:56:16.360 not a flaw.
00:56:17.540 Because if
00:56:18.300 you had
00:56:19.420 complete common
00:56:20.300 sense, you
00:56:21.780 would never
00:56:22.180 mate.
00:56:23.820 You wouldn't.
00:56:25.000 Because if you
00:56:25.700 just did a
00:56:26.880 cost-benefit
00:56:27.720 analysis of
00:56:28.540 having children
00:56:29.240 and stuff,
00:56:30.800 some people
00:56:31.540 would still
00:56:31.900 do it, but
00:56:33.000 a lot of
00:56:33.560 people wouldn't.
00:56:34.800 So you
00:56:35.680 have to
00:56:36.000 believe that
00:56:36.420 we evolved
00:56:37.120 in a way
00:56:37.660 that for
00:56:38.800 men, it's 1.00
00:56:39.480 probably
00:56:40.220 evolution put
00:56:41.780 this in there
00:56:42.340 for a reason.
00:56:43.520 You know,
00:56:43.980 you're not
00:56:44.340 going to have
00:56:44.780 quite as
00:56:45.560 many babies
00:56:46.320 if you
00:56:47.260 think about
00:56:47.860 it.
00:56:48.520 So we're
00:56:49.160 going to
00:56:49.360 turn off
00:56:49.800 your brain
00:56:50.480 in any of
00:56:51.360 those situations
00:56:52.040 where mating
00:56:52.720 is a possibility
00:56:53.560 or you
00:56:54.000 think it is.
00:56:55.460 So brain
00:56:56.220 turns off
00:56:56.840 at about
00:56:57.660 this point
00:56:58.160 and then
00:56:58.580 bad behavior
00:56:59.320 happens.
00:57:00.220 Now,
00:57:01.040 whoa,
00:57:01.800 let me talk
00:57:02.460 to the dumb
00:57:02.920 people for a
00:57:03.500 minute.
00:57:04.240 Smart
00:57:04.640 people,
00:57:05.440 take a
00:57:06.260 little break.
00:57:07.720 This next
00:57:08.340 part is only
00:57:09.100 for any
00:57:09.540 dumb people
00:57:10.040 who came
00:57:10.360 in because
00:57:11.340 this is an
00:57:12.220 open live
00:57:12.780 stream.
00:57:13.600 The regulars
00:57:14.300 are all
00:57:14.600 smart.
00:57:15.080 You don't
00:57:15.300 need this
00:57:15.640 at all.
00:57:16.680 So what I'm
00:57:17.060 going to say
00:57:17.460 is completely
00:57:18.140 useless for
00:57:18.800 the smart
00:57:19.160 people.
00:57:19.800 But for the
00:57:20.300 dumb people
00:57:20.740 who came
00:57:21.060 in, this
00:57:21.820 is going
00:57:22.060 to be
00:57:22.200 really
00:57:22.420 important.
00:57:25.000 I'm not
00:57:25.720 actually
00:57:26.300 defending
00:57:26.860 bad behavior.
00:57:28.260 Again,
00:57:28.620 this is just
00:57:29.060 for the dumb
00:57:29.460 people.
00:57:29.720 I know
00:57:30.980 it seems
00:57:31.360 like I
00:57:31.760 am.
00:57:33.020 Because I
00:57:33.420 said, wait,
00:57:34.060 your brain
00:57:34.460 turned off
00:57:35.040 and you
00:57:35.920 don't have
00:57:36.340 free will.
00:57:38.000 Therefore,
00:57:38.600 the bad
00:57:38.860 behavior is
00:57:39.280 going to
00:57:39.440 happen.
00:57:40.200 So the
00:57:40.600 dumb people
00:57:41.480 now, you're
00:57:41.980 thinking, I
00:57:42.620 think you
00:57:43.160 just said
00:57:43.720 that Governor
00:57:44.780 Cuomo can
00:57:45.500 rape anybody 0.97
00:57:46.200 he wants.
00:57:46.760 No, no, I
00:57:49.600 didn't say
00:57:50.060 that.
00:57:50.940 I said the
00:57:51.320 opposite, that
00:57:52.340 in terms of
00:57:53.060 the legal
00:57:53.920 system, you
00:57:54.960 have to act
00:57:55.500 like all
00:57:55.860 this is
00:57:56.220 real.
00:57:56.900 But you're
00:57:57.380 acting.
00:57:58.220 It's just
00:57:58.600 an act.
00:57:59.360 You have
00:57:59.740 to do it
00:58:00.060 though.
00:58:01.980 So this
00:58:03.260 graph, you
00:58:03.800 could argue
00:58:04.240 it's either
00:58:04.720 time or
00:58:05.240 opportunity
00:58:05.740 because they're
00:58:06.400 somewhat
00:58:06.700 adjusted.
00:58:07.720 And then to
00:58:08.060 the earlier
00:58:08.540 comment, where
00:58:11.180 this line is,
00:58:12.080 the bad
00:58:12.440 behavior line,
00:58:13.320 let's say we're
00:58:13.860 just talking
00:58:14.240 about sexual
00:58:14.840 harassment, where
00:58:16.140 this line is,
00:58:17.280 is a little
00:58:17.800 bit subjective.
00:58:20.320 Meaning that, I
00:58:21.760 hate to say
00:58:22.240 it, but if
00:58:23.320 somebody is
00:58:24.040 funnier, they
00:58:25.640 can get away
00:58:26.180 with more.
00:58:27.320 If you don't
00:58:28.360 have any sense
00:58:29.020 of humor and
00:58:29.560 you try to
00:58:29.960 tell a sexually
00:58:31.600 suggestive joke,
00:58:33.820 well, welcome
00:58:34.700 to human
00:58:35.220 resources.
00:58:36.240 Because that
00:58:36.860 wasn't funny,
00:58:38.060 it was just
00:58:38.760 offensive.
00:58:39.900 But if you
00:58:40.500 pull it off,
00:58:41.700 let's say I
00:58:42.340 tell some joke
00:58:43.560 that's sexually
00:58:44.460 offensive, people
00:58:45.960 I hope, would
00:58:46.760 say, oh, wait
00:58:47.400 a minute, that
00:58:47.760 guy is a
00:58:48.340 professional
00:58:48.880 humorist, his
00:58:50.480 intention is
00:58:51.380 just to be
00:58:51.880 funny.
00:58:52.720 He's not
00:58:53.060 trying to
00:58:53.500 insult anybody.
00:58:55.140 Humor is the
00:58:55.960 point, I'm
00:58:57.020 laughing, I
00:58:57.680 get it, okay,
00:58:58.480 I'll let that
00:58:59.140 go.
00:58:59.820 So this line
00:59:00.900 does change if
00:59:01.920 you're funnier.
00:59:03.460 Does Governor
00:59:04.100 Cuomo have the
00:59:05.180 kind of sense
00:59:05.980 of humor where
00:59:07.320 he could lower
00:59:08.060 this, no, I
00:59:09.300 guess raise the
00:59:10.160 bar, so that
00:59:11.620 people say, ah,
00:59:12.460 I get it, that's
00:59:13.100 just a joke?
00:59:14.700 Apparently not.
00:59:17.340 Apparently he
00:59:17.980 doesn't have that
00:59:18.760 kind of sense of
00:59:19.420 humor, but maybe
00:59:20.660 he thinks he
00:59:21.460 does.
00:59:22.560 And that looks
00:59:23.100 like the
00:59:23.420 problem.
00:59:23.980 Because he
00:59:24.360 said directly, I
00:59:25.760 thought I was
00:59:26.300 being funny.
00:59:28.400 But I'll bet
00:59:29.100 there will be no
00:59:29.800 example that you'll
00:59:30.740 ever hear of
00:59:32.040 something he said
00:59:32.900 where you would
00:59:33.400 say to yourself,
00:59:34.000 yeah, okay, that
00:59:34.620 was kind of
00:59:35.020 funny.
00:59:35.960 I'll bet nothing
00:59:36.900 like that.
00:59:37.880 I'll bet everything
00:59:38.640 that he thought was
00:59:39.520 funny, if you
00:59:41.020 heard it, you
00:59:41.780 would say, hmm,
00:59:42.700 not so much.
00:59:44.600 And the second
00:59:45.420 thing is your
00:59:45.900 hotness.
00:59:46.860 We're not
00:59:47.500 supposed to talk
00:59:48.120 about this.
00:59:49.360 But whether
00:59:49.860 you're male or
00:59:50.620 female, your 0.98
00:59:54.000 hotness level is
00:59:55.140 going to adjust
00:59:56.040 this whole graph,
00:59:57.100 right?
00:59:57.620 Because if you're
00:59:58.860 not attractive,
01:00:01.160 people are not
01:00:02.640 going to have the
01:00:03.040 same urge, it
01:00:03.980 will be easier
01:00:04.600 for them to
01:00:05.240 avoid it.
01:00:07.180 So that's your
01:00:08.540 model.
01:00:09.420 It is not the
01:00:10.200 only model to
01:00:11.100 understand life.
01:00:11.960 Like I said,
01:00:12.940 the criminal
01:00:15.000 justice has to
01:00:15.780 be different.
01:00:16.680 But I find it
01:00:17.640 always useful when
01:00:18.620 you're trying to
01:00:19.780 decide how to
01:00:20.400 feel about any
01:00:21.400 of this to
01:00:21.840 have this
01:00:22.240 context.
01:00:24.260 All right.
01:00:27.520 If we're being
01:00:28.340 objective at all
01:00:29.200 about Governor
01:00:32.860 Cuomo, I feel
01:00:35.300 like you have to
01:00:35.820 be a little bit
01:00:36.720 glass half full
01:00:37.780 sometimes because
01:00:38.900 you could be
01:00:39.360 overwhelmed with
01:00:40.120 negativity.
01:00:41.500 And I would
01:00:41.880 just like to
01:00:42.380 say, just
01:00:43.380 put it out
01:00:43.800 there, objectively
01:00:45.340 speaking, there's
01:00:46.300 still a lot more
01:00:47.820 people that
01:00:49.360 Governor Cuomo has
01:00:50.620 not killed and
01:00:52.440 not yet sexually
01:00:53.620 harassed.
01:00:54.440 If you were to
01:00:55.200 compare the
01:00:55.720 numbers, the
01:00:56.960 number of people
01:00:57.820 he killed in
01:00:58.380 nursing homes plus
01:00:59.300 the number of
01:00:59.720 people he sexually
01:01:00.400 harassed, very
01:01:01.760 small compared to
01:01:03.540 all the people he
01:01:04.480 hasn't killed and
01:01:05.360 all the people he
01:01:05.920 hasn't sexually
01:01:06.660 harassed.
01:01:07.100 Just keep it in
01:01:07.940 context.
01:01:09.360 That was a joke.
01:01:10.340 For the dumb
01:01:10.720 people, that was
01:01:13.280 a joke.
01:01:16.060 All right.
01:01:18.600 Seems to me that
01:01:19.500 forcing the people
01:01:21.140 on the vocal
01:01:21.980 left to live by
01:01:23.520 their own rules is
01:01:24.680 working quite well.
01:01:25.620 It's working with
01:01:26.240 the Cuomo thing.
01:01:28.060 Here's some other
01:01:28.580 examples that I
01:01:29.260 thought were funny.
01:01:30.340 I just saw this on
01:01:31.200 the internet that a
01:01:33.280 lot of so-called
01:01:34.760 racist images are
01:01:35.880 being removed from
01:01:36.920 old food products.
01:01:38.920 So Aunt Jemima's
01:01:40.060 going away, Uncle
01:01:41.740 Ben, Land and
01:01:42.780 Lakes, they all
01:01:43.840 decided that their
01:01:44.640 imagery was a
01:01:45.520 little too racist.
01:01:47.500 But what's the
01:01:48.460 outcome of that?
01:01:50.340 What is the
01:01:50.980 predictable outcome
01:01:52.000 of that?
01:01:53.620 Well, it turns out
01:01:54.540 the predictable
01:01:55.080 outcome is that all
01:01:56.160 the remaining faces
01:01:57.120 are white.
01:01:58.340 So you go into
01:01:58.920 your grocery store
01:01:59.640 and there are no
01:02:00.100 people of color on
01:02:01.020 your packaging
01:02:01.560 because they were
01:02:02.280 all removed.
01:02:03.680 Is that what they
01:02:04.500 wanted?
01:02:05.880 Now they got what
01:02:07.440 they wanted, so
01:02:08.780 what happens if you
01:02:09.580 just keep giving the
01:02:10.560 left what they
01:02:11.500 want?
01:02:12.800 Do they get what
01:02:13.740 they want if you
01:02:14.880 give them what they
01:02:15.440 asked for?
01:02:17.020 That's where we're
01:02:17.740 at.
01:02:19.460 So the left pretty
01:02:20.520 much had to cancel
01:02:21.420 Al Franken because
01:02:22.420 that was sort of
01:02:23.140 their thing.
01:02:24.620 They kind of had
01:02:25.580 to.
01:02:26.160 And I think they
01:02:26.820 will have to cancel
01:02:27.820 Andrew Cuomo.
01:02:28.940 There's really no
01:02:29.540 choice for that.
01:02:30.860 I mean, I don't
01:02:32.340 think he could
01:02:33.000 survive this.
01:02:33.780 I don't think so,
01:02:35.400 but maybe.
01:02:37.420 And then even
01:02:38.360 letting Portland go
01:02:39.700 ahead with their
01:02:40.480 autonomous zones and
01:02:42.080 whatever, all of
01:02:43.740 that has the
01:02:46.400 benefit of letting
01:02:47.140 people get what
01:02:47.800 they want to find
01:02:48.760 out they didn't
01:02:49.320 want it.
01:02:49.740 It's like letting
01:02:50.320 the dog catch the
01:02:51.220 car.
01:02:52.120 I mean, Biden is
01:02:52.900 the dog that caught
01:02:53.660 the car.
01:02:54.720 Oh, I'm going to
01:02:55.360 go do something
01:02:56.200 really different with
01:02:56.960 the Khashoggi.
01:02:58.000 Okay, maybe I'll do
01:02:58.720 the same thing.
01:03:00.240 I'm going to do
01:03:00.780 something really
01:03:01.240 different with
01:03:01.920 North Korea,
01:03:03.180 except what can
01:03:04.240 you do?
01:03:04.580 I guess I'll do
01:03:05.040 the same thing
01:03:05.520 Trump did.
01:03:06.820 Biden caught the
01:03:07.640 car.
01:03:08.180 Good luck with
01:03:08.960 it.
01:03:11.020 Same with Putin
01:03:11.900 sanctions.
01:03:12.900 Is there anything
01:03:13.380 left?
01:03:14.060 I mean, really?
01:03:15.540 What can Biden
01:03:16.080 do?
01:03:17.620 Right?
01:03:18.660 How about kids
01:03:19.620 in cages?
01:03:21.400 What did Biden
01:03:22.260 do with the kids
01:03:23.040 in cages?
01:03:23.680 Well, he did the
01:03:24.120 only thing he
01:03:24.620 could do.
01:03:24.920 He changed the
01:03:25.400 words.
01:03:26.540 We're going to
01:03:27.020 call them containers.
01:03:28.920 And we're going to
01:03:29.240 have, you know,
01:03:29.960 but they're way
01:03:31.020 better tents.
01:03:32.180 Our tents and
01:03:32.860 containers are
01:03:33.620 way better than
01:03:34.300 these chain-link
01:03:35.560 fence things.
01:03:38.280 All right.
01:03:43.060 And then the
01:03:44.060 transgender sports
01:03:45.620 thing is maybe
01:03:47.040 the most perfect
01:03:48.260 example of this.
01:03:50.660 Because the
01:03:52.260 reason that
01:03:52.760 women's sports
01:03:53.520 exists is because
01:03:54.840 women complained.
01:03:56.080 They were being
01:03:57.000 treated as second
01:03:58.000 class citizens and
01:03:59.540 said, why are
01:04:00.200 all these sports
01:04:00.960 facilities in
01:04:01.700 schools and why
01:04:02.520 can't women be 1.00
01:04:03.900 part of that except
01:04:04.720 as cheerleaders?
01:04:05.840 And so, yeah,
01:04:06.680 perfectly reasonable
01:04:07.640 that things even
01:04:09.580 out a bit there.
01:04:10.740 But now the
01:04:11.440 transgenders come
01:04:12.420 along.
01:04:13.740 And once you've
01:04:14.320 opened the door,
01:04:15.640 and I think we all
01:04:16.400 agree women's
01:04:17.480 sports is a good
01:04:18.120 thing.
01:04:18.420 There's nobody on
01:04:18.960 the other side of
01:04:19.500 that, is there?
01:04:20.500 But once you've
01:04:21.200 opened the door,
01:04:22.380 you kind of got to
01:04:23.500 expect the door
01:04:24.300 stays open.
01:04:25.760 Now the
01:04:26.180 transgenders are a 1.00
01:04:27.720 threat to women's 1.00
01:04:28.820 sports and the
01:04:29.920 way they're not
01:04:30.440 to men's
01:04:30.900 sports.
01:04:32.500 And again, we'll
01:04:36.500 see where that
01:04:37.000 goes.
01:04:37.420 I know you don't
01:04:37.900 like me talking
01:04:38.460 about that topic.
01:04:40.640 There's some
01:04:41.340 interesting drama
01:04:42.840 over at ABC
01:04:43.580 News with George
01:04:45.020 Stephanopoulos and
01:04:46.480 up-and-coming
01:04:47.120 David Muir.
01:04:48.800 And I guess
01:04:49.480 Stephanopoulos was
01:04:50.320 kind of the big
01:04:51.340 chief anchor there,
01:04:53.100 but David Muir is
01:04:54.160 the new up-and-coming
01:04:55.280 person.
01:04:55.660 And here's the
01:04:57.000 interesting part
01:04:57.560 about that.
01:04:58.480 I've watched a lot
01:04:59.540 of George Stephanopoulos
01:05:00.700 and it seems to me
01:05:02.160 he's basically just
01:05:03.540 a Democrat
01:05:04.480 politician who
01:05:06.460 somehow got a
01:05:07.260 news job.
01:05:08.620 Like, he seems
01:05:09.160 like the least
01:05:09.960 objective person
01:05:10.980 on TV, who's
01:05:12.240 not on The View,
01:05:13.220 I suppose.
01:05:14.560 And so, why
01:05:15.640 does a news
01:05:16.600 organization even
01:05:17.560 have someone who
01:05:19.200 isn't even...
01:05:20.800 He doesn't even
01:05:21.380 pretend to be
01:05:22.000 objective, does he?
01:05:23.100 I mean, he's a
01:05:24.520 weird choice for
01:05:25.320 news.
01:05:26.460 He's like the
01:05:27.040 opposite of news.
01:05:28.020 He's an opinion
01:05:28.860 guy, just, you
01:05:30.900 know, pretending to
01:05:32.280 be a news guy.
01:05:34.060 But what about
01:05:34.840 David Muir?
01:05:37.980 In the small
01:05:38.880 world, I spent an
01:05:40.540 afternoon with
01:05:41.220 David Muir a
01:05:42.780 number of years
01:05:43.280 ago, in which he
01:05:44.700 was doing reports
01:05:47.240 and stories and
01:05:47.980 one of those
01:05:48.460 reports was about
01:05:49.380 me.
01:05:50.080 So I spent a
01:05:50.760 whole lot of
01:05:51.120 time with him.
01:05:52.000 You know, sort
01:05:52.380 of hung around
01:05:52.880 all afternoon as
01:05:53.820 he asked
01:05:54.380 questions and
01:05:55.060 put his report
01:05:56.100 together.
01:05:57.080 Great guy.
01:05:58.520 You know, I
01:05:59.480 just enjoyed him
01:06:00.360 as a human
01:06:01.080 being.
01:06:01.540 He was just a
01:06:02.120 great guy.
01:06:03.240 And I can't
01:06:04.420 remember seeing
01:06:05.060 him saying
01:06:05.580 anything on
01:06:06.120 TV that was
01:06:06.740 necessarily super
01:06:08.520 biased.
01:06:10.300 Can you?
01:06:11.120 And I feel as
01:06:12.340 though this is a
01:06:13.000 good change.
01:06:13.860 Maybe it
01:06:14.600 signals something.
01:06:18.820 Jordan
01:06:19.380 Peterson,
01:06:20.780 and apparently
01:06:21.920 had warned at
01:06:23.020 one point,
01:06:24.180 and maybe I
01:06:24.760 think Brett
01:06:25.160 Weinstein might
01:06:25.820 have said this
01:06:26.260 too, that
01:06:27.300 eventually the
01:06:27.980 left would come
01:06:28.680 for the
01:06:29.100 evolutionary
01:06:29.660 biologists.
01:06:32.280 In other
01:06:32.620 words, people
01:06:33.140 were literally
01:06:33.760 just scientists
01:06:34.760 and trying to
01:06:36.040 tell you that
01:06:36.620 evolution got us
01:06:38.740 to where we
01:06:39.220 are.
01:06:39.920 In other
01:06:40.200 words, we have
01:06:41.060 some things
01:06:41.500 baked into us
01:06:42.440 that evolution
01:06:43.740 handed us.
01:06:44.780 It wasn't our
01:06:45.220 choice.
01:06:45.580 scientists, and
01:06:47.580 apparently on a
01:06:49.000 clubhouse event
01:06:51.340 that somebody
01:06:53.260 was challenging
01:06:53.940 Brett Weinstein,
01:06:55.160 who I believe he
01:06:56.220 is an evolutionary
01:06:57.160 biologist, and
01:06:58.340 was saying that
01:06:58.900 that's just another
01:06:59.640 name for a
01:07:00.300 eugenicist.
01:07:02.500 So now
01:07:03.380 evolutionary
01:07:03.980 biologists,
01:07:05.420 people who belong 0.98
01:07:06.760 to the science
01:07:07.620 that I thought the
01:07:09.040 left liked,
01:07:09.960 right?
01:07:10.780 Doesn't the left
01:07:11.560 like their science
01:07:12.600 and their experts?
01:07:13.560 But now
01:07:14.620 they're calling
01:07:15.080 this group
01:07:15.820 of scientists
01:07:17.180 eugenicists.
01:07:19.860 They're saying
01:07:20.360 the same thing.
01:07:21.280 Same thing.
01:07:22.220 Because if you
01:07:22.800 believe that
01:07:23.460 people's biology
01:07:26.160 has anything
01:07:27.200 to do with
01:07:27.840 their actions,
01:07:30.000 then you're
01:07:30.560 probably a
01:07:31.080 eugenicist,
01:07:31.860 according to
01:07:32.320 the left.
01:07:36.440 Muir is
01:07:37.400 as most
01:07:38.220 journalists
01:07:39.160 left.
01:07:40.040 Yeah, I
01:07:40.300 think David
01:07:40.980 Muir, you
01:07:41.860 could properly
01:07:42.580 say he's
01:07:43.120 more associated
01:07:44.040 with left
01:07:44.520 leaning things.
01:07:45.700 But
01:07:45.820 Stephanopoulos,
01:07:46.980 he was just
01:07:47.660 a politician
01:07:48.340 in disguise.
01:07:50.540 It's very
01:07:50.900 different.
01:07:52.780 All right.
01:07:55.660 And I think
01:07:56.400 that's all I
01:07:56.940 wanted to talk
01:07:57.440 about, but
01:07:58.060 let me make
01:07:58.500 sure.
01:08:01.600 So,
01:08:02.360 that's all
01:08:03.080 we got.
01:08:06.460 Isn't being
01:08:07.140 left part of
01:08:07.880 their job
01:08:08.480 description?
01:08:09.360 Yeah.
01:08:10.800 All right,
01:08:11.140 I'm just going
01:08:11.480 to look at
01:08:11.720 some of your
01:08:12.040 comments for a
01:08:12.760 moment.
01:08:13.120 did they
01:08:16.540 really remove
01:08:17.320 Washington's
01:08:18.200 statue from
01:08:19.060 George Washington
01:08:19.900 University?
01:08:21.660 You know,
01:08:23.700 statues feels
01:08:24.860 like old 0.58
01:08:28.080 news.
01:08:29.860 I wonder if
01:08:30.600 we'll have
01:08:30.980 any statue
01:08:31.760 events under
01:08:32.860 the Biden
01:08:33.500 administration.
01:08:34.800 Because it
01:08:35.200 feels like
01:08:35.740 there were
01:08:36.340 some events
01:08:37.080 where they
01:08:38.180 only existed
01:08:39.060 because Trump
01:08:40.000 was president.
01:08:40.660 as if the
01:08:42.080 event itself
01:08:42.880 was ginned
01:08:43.620 up to
01:08:45.160 give a
01:08:45.760 reason to
01:08:46.480 hate Trump,
01:08:47.260 even though
01:08:47.720 the event
01:08:48.440 may have
01:08:48.800 not been a
01:08:49.340 Trump-related
01:08:50.120 event.
01:08:51.280 And so
01:08:51.560 the Confederate
01:08:55.280 statue thing
01:08:56.160 feels like
01:08:57.540 something that
01:08:58.180 was a national
01:08:59.000 topic because
01:09:00.000 Trump was
01:09:00.700 president,
01:09:01.120 and that it
01:09:02.320 gave you
01:09:02.720 something to,
01:09:03.740 you know,
01:09:03.980 another weapon
01:09:04.680 to use against
01:09:05.460 them, and that
01:09:06.700 was maybe the
01:09:07.480 only reason for it.
01:09:08.320 Otherwise people
01:09:08.920 don't really
01:09:09.340 give a shit. 0.91
01:09:10.320 I mean,
01:09:10.540 once I learned
01:09:11.580 that something
01:09:12.780 north of 20%
01:09:14.160 of African-American
01:09:15.920 people polled
01:09:17.920 want to keep
01:09:18.900 the statues,
01:09:21.320 what do you
01:09:22.580 say to that?
01:09:23.980 Over 20% of
01:09:25.260 black people
01:09:25.780 want to keep
01:09:26.340 the statues?
01:09:27.800 Why can't
01:09:28.580 they have
01:09:28.900 their statues?
01:09:30.240 Why does
01:09:31.260 their opinion
01:09:31.720 not count?
01:09:32.800 I know the
01:09:33.420 majority gets
01:09:34.100 the rule,
01:09:35.400 but I mean,
01:09:36.060 I should tell
01:09:36.560 you that there's
01:09:37.180 something going
01:09:37.860 on that's
01:09:38.380 not strictly
01:09:39.100 racial about
01:09:39.920 these statues.
01:09:41.620 I'm anti-statue,
01:09:42.620 by the way,
01:09:42.980 on the same
01:09:45.020 basis that I'm
01:09:47.520 anti a lot
01:09:48.080 of other
01:09:48.340 things.
01:09:49.340 It's impolite.
01:09:51.340 That's it.
01:09:52.440 It's just
01:09:52.860 impolite,
01:09:53.700 and I don't
01:09:54.340 want to be
01:09:54.660 involved with
01:09:56.020 impolite things.
01:09:57.060 It doesn't
01:09:57.300 help anybody.
01:10:00.340 All right.
01:10:02.960 Somebody said
01:10:03.720 we should have
01:10:04.120 more statues.
01:10:04.860 All right.
01:10:08.040 That's all I
01:10:08.580 got for now,
01:10:09.180 and I will
01:10:09.540 talk to you
01:10:10.100 tomorrow.
01:10:15.340 All right,
01:10:15.900 you YouTubers
01:10:16.520 who are still
01:10:17.460 here.
01:10:20.940 What do I
01:10:21.540 think of
01:10:21.820 Biden ending
01:10:22.440 the deportation
01:10:23.480 of sex
01:10:24.200 offenders?
01:10:25.140 You talk
01:10:25.500 about
01:10:25.920 non-documented,
01:10:29.140 non-citizen
01:10:29.740 people.
01:10:30.860 Well, I
01:10:31.280 don't know
01:10:31.540 how he,
01:10:32.440 how does he
01:10:33.000 justify it?
01:10:34.300 I would
01:10:34.640 love to
01:10:35.000 know what
01:10:35.360 the argument
01:10:35.860 is.
01:10:37.120 I'll say
01:10:37.740 this, I've
01:10:38.240 said this
01:10:38.520 about Trump
01:10:39.220 and I'll
01:10:39.520 say this
01:10:39.840 about Biden.
01:10:41.020 If you
01:10:41.580 don't show
01:10:42.100 us the
01:10:42.500 argument,
01:10:43.580 we have
01:10:43.960 to assume
01:10:44.480 it's corrupt
01:10:45.440 intent.
01:10:46.660 You just
01:10:47.280 have to
01:10:47.560 assume it.
01:10:49.060 Because our
01:10:50.520 politicians do
01:10:51.600 need to show
01:10:52.240 their work.
01:10:52.980 It's not
01:10:53.340 optional.
01:10:54.620 If somebody
01:10:55.300 wants to
01:10:55.620 make a change
01:10:56.140 like not
01:10:56.860 deporting
01:10:57.580 sex offenders,
01:10:59.580 explain that
01:11:00.240 to us.
01:11:01.220 Just go in
01:11:02.060 front of us
01:11:02.440 and say,
01:11:02.780 look, I
01:11:03.800 realize you
01:11:04.740 think this
01:11:05.140 is a good
01:11:05.520 idea, but
01:11:06.260 here's my
01:11:06.740 reasoning,
01:11:07.360 there's some
01:11:07.720 bigger purpose.
01:11:10.040 I'm open
01:11:10.720 to a reason,
01:11:12.160 but if you
01:11:12.740 don't offer
01:11:13.380 a reason,
01:11:14.060 you have to
01:11:14.820 assume corrupt
01:11:15.740 intent, if
01:11:17.480 it's governed.
01:11:18.880 That's all,
01:11:19.840 and I'll talk
01:11:20.340 to you tomorrow.
