00:00:00.480 Hey everybody, come on in. Are you awake? Did you set your clocks if you live someplace where you have to do that?
00:00:08.980 Well, if you did, you're here and you're ready for the best part of the day. Coffee with Scott Adams.
00:00:17.480 And to make it special, all you need is a cup of margarita glass, a tank of chalice of stye, a canteen jug of flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.
00:00:28.280 And join me now for the... I'm so tired.
00:00:38.040 For the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better, it's called the Simultaneous Sip.
00:00:44.100 And you're about to experience it. It'll be special. Watch. Go.
00:00:48.420 Ah. Have you ever had this experience where you go to bed, and I have this weird thing where I hate to sleep.
00:01:03.800 I hate sleeping.
00:01:06.020 And the reason is that when I'm asleep, I feel like it's like being dead.
00:01:12.400 You're just missing something.
00:01:14.440 You know, I'd rather be awake and, you know, enjoy life.
00:01:18.100 And I've had this problem lately where I'll wake up, and I'll try to guess what time it is, and I'll think,
00:01:27.360 I don't know, I feel like it's time to get up.
00:01:32.140 I could probably get up.
00:01:34.240 And then I'll check the clock to see if how I feel is matching the time on the clock.
00:01:39.780 And the last couple of nights, I wake up, and I think, yeah, I think I could get up now.
00:01:47.700 It's probably early, but I think I could just get up.
00:01:51.440 And it's not even the next day.
00:01:54.420 It's still the night before.
00:01:57.320 Like, I'll wake up at 11.30 p.m., and I'll think,
00:02:01.260 God, I feel like it's time to get up.
00:02:05.040 And this morning, I just said, screw it, and I just got up.
00:02:08.260 So we're not working on too much sleep here.
00:02:12.540 The Intercept has a story about white supremacy and militia groups,
00:02:18.800 and it says this in a tweet.
00:02:22.840 The white supremacy and militia groups were growing under Obama,
00:02:27.160 facilitated by social media and in relation to America having its first black president.
00:02:32.080 But once Trump got in there, the ranks grew much quicker,
00:02:35.840 and there were more organizations.
00:02:39.300 Do you see the propaganda?
00:02:42.280 Where's the part that says that this growth in white supremacy is because of Trump?
00:02:48.940 Because they kind of suggest that it's because of Trump.
00:02:53.800 But what they said was technically correct,
00:02:56.820 which is that once he got in there,
00:03:01.320 maybe by coincidence, maybe by causation,
00:03:05.800 white supremacy went up.
00:03:08.100 If you don't know that it's causation,
00:03:11.220 I don't feel like you should be hinting that in a tweet.
00:03:16.040 And isn't it, if you were to compare these two hypotheses,
00:03:20.180 one is that the number of white supremacists went up because of Trump,
00:03:27.140 and then the other is that it went up for the same reason that Trump got elected.
00:03:34.520 In other words, there were forces that caused Trump to rise.
00:03:38.980 At the same time, those forces caused this other thing to go up.
00:03:43.760 How do you know one causes the other versus they're both caused by the same thing?
00:03:47.880 Because it's easy to imagine that, let's say,
00:03:51.940 unrestricted immigration would be bothering people
00:03:56.320 whether Trump became president or not.
00:04:00.140 What would you guess is the number of white supremacists under?
00:04:06.580 Wait for it.
00:04:08.760 Biden.
00:04:09.820 Do you think we'll ever see a tweet
00:04:11.640 that says the number of white supremacists went up
00:04:15.740 during Biden's presidency?
00:04:19.180 And would they suggest that there's a reason for it,
00:04:22.100 which is that Biden is president?
00:04:24.100 I don't think so.
00:04:25.940 I think it's pretty clear that this is just propaganda.
00:04:32.160 And white supremacy is sort of the perfect boogeyman,
00:04:37.240 because it has all the qualities you want,
00:04:39.920 which is people are primed to believe it.
00:04:44.500 So that's the first thing.
00:04:46.080 You don't want to sell a story that people are not primed to already believe.
00:04:50.060 So people want to believe that this is a problem.
00:04:54.260 I'm not saying it isn't.
00:04:55.640 I'm just saying that it has these qualities.
00:04:59.160 We're primed to believe it.
00:05:01.280 We have lots of anecdotes to support it.
00:05:04.160 So there will be plenty of stories of an individual
00:05:07.980 who did a white supremacist thing or was a white supremacist.
00:05:12.200 So check.
00:05:13.140 Got that.
00:05:15.660 It can't be measured,
00:05:17.740 which is really important,
00:05:20.320 because this claim is that it went up under Trump.
00:05:25.120 How do you measure it exactly?
00:05:26.980 What exactly went up?
00:05:28.940 Membership?
00:05:30.120 Can you measure that?
00:05:31.340 Is there, like, some kind of published membership logs of white supremacists?
00:05:36.960 Or is it the number of violent things that happened
00:05:39.960 that were attributed to them?
00:05:43.560 I don't know.
00:05:44.500 But as long as you can't measure,
00:05:47.620 and you're sure it's there,
00:05:49.460 and you see anecdotes of it,
00:05:51.840 you can very easily be convinced it's a pretty big deal.
00:05:55.360 Sort of like how Russia collusion was sold to you.
00:05:58.200 It had just the right elements to make you think,
00:06:00.600 well, I'm primed to believe it,
00:06:04.400 because I can't explain how Trump could have won in 2016.
00:06:09.540 And you can't really measure it.
00:06:11.640 You can't find it.
00:06:12.720 But you can find all these anecdotes of,
00:06:15.340 well, there was that time that Flynn had a conversation with somebody.
00:06:20.880 So it has all the right qualities.
00:06:22.920 And then, best of all,
00:06:25.480 it slimes all Trump supporters.
00:06:27.900 So it's politically expedient,
00:06:30.200 because it makes Republicans look bad.
00:06:33.820 It's kind of perfect.
00:06:34.840 It checks all the boxes for a perfect fake news narrative
00:06:40.300 for the coming years.
00:06:41.420 Interestingly,
00:06:44.520 the idea of doing rapid,
00:06:46.800 cheap testing for coronavirus
00:06:48.800 has now, for some reason,
00:06:51.260 I don't know why lately,
00:06:53.140 could it be Biden became president?
00:06:55.540 Maybe that's why.
00:06:56.480 But suddenly it's popular.
00:06:58.800 Major publications are writing how it could be a big deal,
00:07:02.140 and it could change everything.
00:07:04.360 But there's a whole article on it.
00:07:06.140 I can't remember if it was the Wall Street Journal
00:07:07.920 or the New York Times.
00:07:09.380 But the part that I read
00:07:10.900 doesn't mention the default assumption,
00:07:15.540 which is the FDA is corrupt,
00:07:18.820 and that's why we don't already have these tests.
00:07:22.160 Because we've never heard a good reason
00:07:23.800 that we don't have them.
00:07:24.920 There doesn't seem to be a physical problem
00:07:26.860 why we can't have them.
00:07:28.120 Nor is there a logical problem.
00:07:30.500 They just won't allow it.
00:07:33.300 I think the requirements for reporting,
00:07:36.140 and something else,
00:07:37.360 or what the reasons are,
00:07:38.500 but they're not actual reasons.
00:07:40.440 They're facts,
00:07:41.760 but they're not reasons
00:07:43.380 that would argue against it.
00:07:45.600 So now it looks like
00:07:46.920 all the smart people are catching on.
00:07:49.440 Almost, what, nine months or so?
00:07:53.220 At least six months
00:07:54.160 after Michael Mina
00:07:57.640 and a lot of people on social media
00:07:59.360 were saying,
00:08:00.860 you either need to do this
00:08:02.920 or tell us why you're not doing this.
00:08:04.860 Because it seems so obviously
00:08:06.660 like a good thing.
00:08:08.340 You've got to at least explain
00:08:09.940 why you're not doing it,
00:08:11.160 and that never happened.
00:08:12.440 It still hasn't happened.
00:08:14.760 So the default presumption is
00:08:17.680 the FDA is deeply corrupt.
00:08:20.840 And here's,
00:08:22.220 let me give you a persuasion lesson here.
00:08:24.620 Here's what I tweeted about that.
00:08:26.360 I said, about the story,
00:08:27.980 about the rapid testing,
00:08:29.100 I said, this story doesn't address
00:08:31.220 the default assumption
00:08:32.200 that some sort of massive corruption
00:08:35.040 with the FDA
00:08:35.940 has prevented rapid testing so far,
00:08:39.540 probably killing a quarter million people.
00:08:42.900 So that's the persuasion part.
00:08:46.620 Do I know
00:08:48.100 that the lack of rapid testing
00:08:50.640 would have saved, let's say,
00:08:52.760 half of the people who have died already,
00:08:54.440 which would be a quarter of a million people
00:08:55.980 in the United States alone?
00:08:57.060 Do I know that to be true?
00:08:59.420 Of course not.
00:09:01.240 But is it fair to say it could have?
00:09:03.640 Or that it probably would have?
00:09:05.360 Well, that's an opinion.
00:09:07.760 But by putting a number on it,
00:09:10.400 it makes it stickier for persuasion.
00:09:13.260 Because you want to argue
00:09:14.560 against the number, right?
00:09:16.420 So if you're on the other side,
00:09:17.920 you're like,
00:09:18.600 quarter million?
00:09:19.900 No way.
00:09:21.200 It's probably no more than 50,000.
00:09:23.660 In which case,
00:09:24.960 I win the argument.
00:09:26.280 Because I'm arguing
00:09:27.160 that we should have done it.
00:09:28.860 I'm not really arguing the number.
00:09:31.280 So if I can make you argue the number,
00:09:33.880 250,000,
00:09:36.500 that's way too big.
00:09:37.780 Then I've already won the main argument,
00:09:39.920 which is that we should have done it before.
00:09:44.620 Apparently, the Biden administration
00:09:46.040 has been reaching out to North Korea
00:09:48.100 to just get some talks going.
00:09:51.740 And North Korea has so far
00:09:53.120 just ignored them.
00:09:55.740 You just ignore them.
00:09:57.860 Apparently, Biden is so boring
00:09:59.700 that Kim Jong-un can't even be bothered.
00:10:02.640 It's like,
00:10:03.200 well, I don't even know why
00:10:04.660 I would talk to you.
00:10:05.980 It's not going to be fun.
00:10:08.200 And it's not going to accomplish anything.
00:10:10.460 So maybe we'll just ghost you
00:10:12.480 and not even return your calls.
00:10:14.020 Now, remember my main theme
00:10:18.160 for the coming year.
00:10:19.960 That every day that goes by
00:10:21.400 will make Trump look better.
00:10:24.820 Here's another one.
00:10:27.140 At least Trump could get them
00:10:28.660 to return a call.
00:10:31.780 Trump basically became friends
00:10:34.240 with Kim Jong-un.
00:10:36.680 Biden can't even get a return phone call.
00:10:38.720 So, it's starting to look a lot like
00:10:44.180 Trump did some good stuff
00:10:46.080 that Biden can't reproduce.
00:10:49.960 I'm watching CNN
00:10:51.240 has some kind of a special
00:10:52.300 on Abraham Lincoln.
00:10:54.220 And the theme there is that
00:10:56.000 was Lincoln a racist?
00:10:58.420 And I believe the answer is yes.
00:11:01.040 Yes, he was.
00:11:02.820 He was a big old racist.
00:11:04.900 Not worse than people
00:11:06.500 during his time.
00:11:08.720 So, you know,
00:11:09.400 you have to grade on a curve,
00:11:11.880 unfortunately.
00:11:13.540 So, he was probably
00:11:14.740 way ahead of people of his time.
00:11:17.980 But still pretty darn racist
00:11:20.400 by modern standards.
00:11:22.580 So, watching CNN
00:11:23.560 try to cancel Lincoln
00:11:24.620 is pretty funny.
00:11:25.860 Which feels to me
00:11:27.300 kind of about politics.
00:11:30.260 Because, you know,
00:11:31.500 the Republicans
00:11:32.280 are the party of Lincoln.
00:11:33.700 So, if they can cancel Lincoln
00:11:36.780 what a win
00:11:38.580 that would be, right?
00:11:39.960 Hey, you guys
00:11:40.580 still the party of Lincoln?
00:11:42.600 We canceled him.
00:11:46.860 Let me ask you this.
00:11:48.860 Do you think the schools
00:11:51.720 should teach
00:11:52.520 cult awareness classes?
00:11:55.000 This idea came from
00:11:56.260 J.G. Bennett
00:11:57.120 on Twitter.
00:11:58.160 Imagine a cult awareness
00:12:01.060 class that comes
00:12:02.240 immediately after
00:12:03.220 your critical
00:12:04.580 race theory class.
00:12:07.560 So, imagine
00:12:08.420 both of those classes.
00:12:09.660 They teach critical
00:12:10.460 race theory
00:12:11.160 and then right after it
00:12:12.700 there's a class
00:12:13.300 on recognizing cults.
00:12:15.940 Well, I don't think
00:12:16.880 that's going to happen
00:12:17.580 because it would never
00:12:18.380 get through the
00:12:19.100 teachers' unions
00:12:19.860 and approved.
00:12:20.380 But I asked
00:12:21.640 the following question.
00:12:23.660 Suppose there were
00:12:25.040 some kind of
00:12:25.680 a private company
00:12:26.940 that offered
00:12:28.500 the service
00:12:29.220 of deprogramming
00:12:30.400 your child
00:12:31.000 from whatever
00:12:32.400 cult,
00:12:33.420 wokeness,
00:12:34.280 things you think
00:12:35.100 they shouldn't be
00:12:35.740 learning in school.
00:12:37.860 Would you buy
00:12:38.820 that service?
00:12:40.920 And I tweeted that
00:12:42.260 and it turns out
00:12:43.180 a lot of people would.
00:12:44.380 Now, of course,
00:12:44.960 a lot of people say,
00:12:45.680 hey, I did buy
00:12:46.740 that service.
00:12:47.580 It's called homeschooling.
00:12:48.940 So, I just do it myself.
00:12:51.260 And that's one way
00:12:52.860 to go, of course.
00:12:54.760 But I'm feeling like
00:12:57.620 there will be,
00:13:00.520 it feels like
00:13:01.180 it's going to happen,
00:13:01.900 right?
00:13:02.100 Because there are
00:13:02.520 lots of private tutors
00:13:03.680 who augment
00:13:05.140 what kids are learning
00:13:06.200 in school.
00:13:06.760 That's routine, right?
00:13:08.820 Why would you not have
00:13:10.140 a special kind of tutor
00:13:11.520 who just comes in
00:13:13.380 every, let's say,
00:13:14.060 once a year
00:13:15.620 and just deprograms
00:13:17.640 your kid
00:13:18.060 so that they're not
00:13:19.760 indoctrinated
00:13:22.580 into too much
00:13:23.720 of a wokeness cult.
00:13:26.460 Now, somebody says
00:13:27.240 that PragerU does that
00:13:28.600 and I noted on Twitter
00:13:30.300 in response
00:13:31.080 that the trouble
00:13:32.320 with PragerU
00:13:33.220 is that other people
00:13:35.200 think they are a cult
00:13:36.520 because they have
00:13:38.000 a Christian background,
00:13:39.620 et cetera.
00:13:40.440 So,
00:13:41.120 I don't know
00:13:43.420 that the best
00:13:44.280 deprogrammers
00:13:45.580 would be somebody
00:13:46.500 who other people
00:13:48.320 think is also a cult.
00:13:50.280 Now, that's an opinion,
00:13:51.540 of course,
00:13:52.240 you know,
00:13:52.460 because we get to decide
00:13:53.840 what's a cult
00:13:54.460 and what's real.
00:13:55.920 But you would have
00:13:56.820 more credibility
00:13:57.540 if it was someone
00:13:58.480 not associated
00:13:59.420 with any organization
00:14:00.840 that somebody else
00:14:02.260 says,
00:14:03.320 hey,
00:14:03.740 they're cults,
00:14:04.460 they're just programming
00:14:05.200 you the other way.
00:14:07.040 And I'm not saying that,
00:14:08.340 I'm not saying Prager
00:14:09.840 is doing anything wrong,
00:14:11.000 I'm just saying
00:14:11.460 in terms of brand,
00:14:13.180 the brand
00:14:15.040 brings a little bit
00:14:16.280 of good and bad
00:14:17.840 baggage with it.
00:14:19.740 And then I wondered
00:14:21.040 how long would it take
00:14:22.260 to teach it?
00:14:24.360 And I was thinking,
00:14:25.680 I could do it
00:14:26.320 in one hour.
00:14:28.580 You'd only need me,
00:14:29.800 you know,
00:14:30.040 if I were a part
00:14:30.820 of this company
00:14:32.180 deprogramming your child,
00:14:34.620 maybe one hour,
00:14:36.100 once a quarter,
00:14:37.060 once a year,
00:14:37.780 something like that.
00:14:38.340 Wouldn't be a lot.
00:14:39.520 And then I thought,
00:14:40.940 well,
00:14:41.180 why don't I just
00:14:41.840 do a video on it?
00:14:43.940 Why don't I just
00:14:44.820 do a video?
00:14:47.920 And people can have
00:14:49.340 a single topic video
00:14:51.620 to deprogram your child.
00:14:54.700 And I'll just teach them
00:14:55.900 the lessons in my book,
00:14:57.100 Loser Think,
00:14:58.880 and maybe a little bit
00:15:00.320 from Winn-Binkley
00:15:01.180 about persuasion.
00:15:02.460 But Loser Think
00:15:03.180 is about how
00:15:03.880 to identify bullshit,
00:15:05.900 which is what keeps you
00:15:07.440 from being indoctrinated
00:15:08.480 in a cult.
00:15:09.460 If you can identify
00:15:10.580 what they're doing
00:15:11.360 while they're doing it,
00:15:12.200 you can say,
00:15:12.700 oh,
00:15:12.860 I see what's going on here.
00:15:14.920 I could teach that
00:15:15.900 in an hour.
00:15:17.020 I don't think
00:15:17.680 it would take much longer.
00:15:19.160 Because here are
00:15:20.100 the sort of things
00:15:20.760 you would learn.
00:15:22.260 I would teach them,
00:15:23.680 do you know,
00:15:24.340 if it's not reported
00:15:25.320 by both the left
00:15:26.280 and the right,
00:15:27.700 it's probably not true.
00:15:29.580 Did you know
00:15:30.440 that half of the things
00:15:31.640 you think are science
00:15:32.700 turn out not to be true?
00:15:35.440 Did you know
00:15:36.340 that when they tell you
00:15:37.460 to trust science,
00:15:39.180 that you don't
00:15:39.780 ever see science?
00:15:41.100 All you ever see
00:15:42.180 is people who have
00:15:42.860 interpreted it for you.
00:15:44.600 So you never even
00:15:45.620 have a chance
00:15:46.220 to trust science.
00:15:47.800 It's not even an option.
00:15:49.600 The only thing you have
00:15:50.720 is whether you trust
00:15:51.540 the person who interpreted
00:15:52.620 it for you.
00:15:53.500 And why would you?
00:15:55.640 There's no law
00:15:56.800 that says you should
00:15:57.480 trust people.
00:15:59.220 Sure,
00:15:59.600 you should trust science.
00:16:01.980 But if the only thing
00:16:03.040 you know about it
00:16:03.720 comes from people,
00:16:06.360 eh,
00:16:06.740 don't trust the people.
00:16:08.660 So those are the kinds
00:16:09.420 of lessons.
00:16:10.440 How long would it take
00:16:11.440 to teach somebody
00:16:14.700 just what I just told you?
00:16:16.540 Well,
00:16:17.060 I did it in less
00:16:17.820 than a minute.
00:16:18.620 It was like three
00:16:19.320 important points
00:16:20.300 in less than 60 seconds.
00:16:23.140 Now,
00:16:23.380 of course,
00:16:23.640 you have to repeat things
00:16:24.840 and put a story
00:16:25.860 around things
00:16:26.640 and, you know,
00:16:27.460 make them sticky.
00:16:28.780 But I think about an hour,
00:16:31.360 you could teach kids
00:16:32.840 how to fend for themselves
00:16:34.180 and recognize a cult.
00:16:35.520 So I'm thinking
00:16:36.640 of doing that,
00:16:37.360 but I don't know
00:16:37.780 if I will.
00:16:38.560 All right.
00:16:40.880 If you go to Fox News,
00:16:42.580 you'll see a big,
00:16:44.100 you know,
00:16:44.360 the top of the page
00:16:45.300 is riots and unrest
00:16:46.540 in L.A.,
00:16:47.300 Seattle,
00:16:47.860 Portland
00:16:48.180 to mark the
00:16:49.680 Breonna Taylor
00:16:50.700 raid anniversary.
00:16:53.160 And then you go to CNN.
00:16:55.100 It's not even a story.
00:16:57.060 It's the top story
00:16:58.440 on Fox News.
00:17:00.720 Top story.
00:17:02.600 And CNN
00:17:03.080 doesn't even cover it.
00:17:05.520 So how big
00:17:07.420 are these riots
00:17:08.500 and the arrests?
00:17:10.820 It's not big enough
00:17:11.800 to be on CNN,
00:17:13.040 according to CNN.
00:17:14.980 So when you see
00:17:16.320 stuff like this,
00:17:17.760 you have to say,
00:17:19.460 we are definitely
00:17:20.320 living in two
00:17:21.180 different movies.
00:17:22.900 And harking back
00:17:24.560 to my conversation
00:17:25.400 yesterday about
00:17:26.240 how partisanship
00:17:27.340 actually gives you
00:17:28.640 brain damage,
00:17:29.800 if you are not aware
00:17:31.520 that CNN
00:17:32.860 CNN and Fox News
00:17:34.180 were reporting
00:17:34.860 entirely different
00:17:35.840 worlds today,
00:17:37.480 then you got
00:17:38.680 a little brain damage.
00:17:40.240 Just a little bit.
00:17:41.600 Because you didn't know
00:17:42.520 that there were
00:17:43.420 two worlds,
00:17:44.420 you only saw one.
00:17:45.340 do you know
00:17:49.280 Florida has a big
00:17:50.180 problem coming up?
00:17:52.240 And it's the problem
00:17:53.300 of success.
00:17:55.020 Do you ever work
00:17:55.700 for, let's say,
00:17:56.860 in an office,
00:17:57.420 you work for a boss
00:17:58.220 and you're the
00:17:59.640 efficient one
00:18:00.320 and you get your
00:18:01.700 work done really fast?
00:18:03.460 What is your reward
00:18:04.760 for doing your work
00:18:06.420 quickly
00:18:07.060 if you work
00:18:08.420 for a big company?
00:18:09.600 You already know
00:18:10.400 the answer to this.
00:18:11.800 Your reward
00:18:12.720 for being really good
00:18:13.780 at getting your work done
00:18:14.760 is you'll be asked
00:18:16.500 to help the people
00:18:17.240 who are slow.
00:18:18.820 You need to get
00:18:19.260 more work, right?
00:18:20.900 So success
00:18:22.140 can really take you out.
00:18:25.520 The more successful
00:18:26.600 you are,
00:18:27.080 the more of a
00:18:27.700 target you are
00:18:29.000 in some cases.
00:18:30.200 And, you know,
00:18:30.880 success can kill you.
00:18:32.940 And Florida's got
00:18:33.860 this problem
00:18:34.380 where they've been
00:18:35.340 relatively successful
00:18:36.580 with the coronavirus.
00:18:38.960 So where are people
00:18:40.100 going to go
00:18:40.520 for spring break?
00:18:42.180 To Florida.
00:18:43.780 So Florida,
00:18:45.440 all of their
00:18:46.100 coronavirus success
00:18:47.240 will maybe be reversed
00:18:50.500 because they were
00:18:52.240 successful.
00:18:53.460 And that allows
00:18:54.440 them to be opened
00:18:55.220 and allows spring
00:18:56.280 breakers to go there.
00:18:58.300 I feel as if
00:18:59.640 Florida is going
00:19:01.060 to be an interesting
00:19:02.280 experiment.
00:19:04.080 And a lot depends
00:19:05.200 on it.
00:19:05.900 A lot depends
00:19:06.720 on it.
00:19:07.720 And here's what
00:19:08.440 here's what we hope.
00:19:11.280 We hope
00:19:12.080 that the spring breakers
00:19:13.740 will, of course,
00:19:14.620 they're going to bring
00:19:15.200 a little bit more
00:19:15.980 infection.
00:19:16.500 We don't know how much.
00:19:17.580 But we hope
00:19:18.220 it's not so much
00:19:19.420 that the hospitals
00:19:21.140 are impacted
00:19:21.960 to the point
00:19:22.500 where they have to
00:19:23.180 do something different
00:19:24.860 and close down
00:19:25.740 or lock down.
00:19:27.420 I think that
00:19:28.580 Florida will probably
00:19:31.380 stick it out
00:19:33.380 and stay open.
00:19:34.580 But this will be
00:19:36.140 a real good
00:19:36.660 edge case
00:19:37.540 because if Florida
00:19:38.500 survives spring break
00:19:40.920 and doesn't have to
00:19:42.680 go to some
00:19:43.520 draconian lockdown,
00:19:45.440 I think the
00:19:46.840 pandemic's
00:19:47.600 kind of over.
00:19:49.640 Kind of over.
00:19:50.560 It's a really good test.
00:19:52.180 In a way,
00:19:52.760 I'm glad it's happening
00:19:53.640 when it's happening
00:19:54.480 because it'll tell us
00:19:55.840 a lot, really.
00:19:59.760 So both Biden
00:20:01.180 and Harris
00:20:01.740 are still quiet
00:20:02.740 on the question
00:20:03.880 of Governor Cuomo
00:20:05.420 and all the allegations
00:20:06.820 from women.
00:20:09.040 And what a luxury
00:20:11.400 that is.
00:20:13.440 Imagine under
00:20:14.440 the Trump regime
00:20:15.560 if he could just
00:20:18.260 ignore one of the
00:20:19.200 biggest stories
00:20:19.800 in the country.
00:20:21.020 Just never comment
00:20:22.520 on it.
00:20:23.780 I don't think
00:20:24.680 that would have
00:20:25.040 worked for him.
00:20:26.600 But it's working
00:20:29.680 for Harris and Biden.
00:20:31.200 They literally do well
00:20:32.620 when they don't talk
00:20:33.420 about stuff
00:20:33.960 and nobody sees them.
00:20:35.860 And I'm also noting,
00:20:38.000 do you remember,
00:20:39.220 it might have been
00:20:39.740 Mike Cernovich
00:20:40.440 who was the first
00:20:41.220 one to note this.
00:20:42.420 It was the first
00:20:42.920 one I saw
00:20:44.360 note it.
00:20:46.960 Under the Trump
00:20:48.140 administration,
00:20:49.360 time stopped working.
00:20:51.960 You notice that,
00:20:52.920 right?
00:20:53.580 That you would say,
00:20:54.820 my God,
00:20:55.260 that happened a year ago
00:20:56.380 and it was only
00:20:57.060 two weeks ago
00:20:57.780 because your sense
00:20:59.740 of time was all
00:21:00.460 messed up
00:21:00.900 because he did
00:21:01.380 so many things
00:21:02.140 so quickly
00:21:02.660 one after another.
00:21:05.320 Time just went
00:21:06.280 back to normal.
00:21:07.940 Ironically,
00:21:08.580 it's,
00:21:09.460 you know,
00:21:09.820 the time got
00:21:10.420 changed today.
00:21:11.560 But under Biden,
00:21:14.240 a week,
00:21:15.620 feels like a week,
00:21:16.620 doesn't it?
00:21:18.340 Under Trump,
00:21:19.800 a week felt like
00:21:20.940 was the beginning
00:21:22.680 of the week last year
00:21:23.740 or so much
00:21:24.220 has happened this week.
00:21:25.040 but Biden restored
00:21:27.040 our clocks.
00:21:30.740 Like,
00:21:31.220 a week looks
00:21:31.820 like a week now.
00:21:33.260 And when I think,
00:21:34.020 what did he do
00:21:34.600 a month ago?
00:21:35.260 It feels like
00:21:35.880 it was a month ago.
00:21:38.040 So,
00:21:39.680 Biden made things
00:21:41.640 boring again,
00:21:42.460 just the way
00:21:42.940 people wanted it.
00:21:45.700 There's a story
00:21:46.400 by Margaret Sullivan.
00:21:48.120 She's writing
00:21:48.720 about all the
00:21:49.280 online harassment
00:21:50.260 of female journalists.
00:21:52.520 She says it's real
00:21:53.420 and it's increasingly
00:21:54.280 hard to endure.
00:21:56.360 And,
00:21:56.960 I'm sure that's true.
00:21:58.560 Probably every time
00:21:59.460 a woman journalist
00:22:01.360 writes something,
00:22:02.820 there's at least
00:22:03.940 one guy
00:22:04.800 who says
00:22:05.700 he wants to
00:22:06.560 chop her up
00:22:08.140 and eat her
00:22:08.600 after a sexual assault.
00:22:13.120 I mean,
00:22:13.580 there are some
00:22:13.980 bad people
00:22:14.540 in the world.
00:22:15.980 But,
00:22:16.460 here's what I wonder
00:22:17.360 when I read
00:22:17.820 that article.
00:22:19.820 Has Margaret Sullivan
00:22:20.760 ever seen
00:22:21.460 my email?
00:22:23.420 Has she ever
00:22:24.120 seen what
00:22:24.580 people say
00:22:25.040 to me?
00:22:27.200 And,
00:22:27.880 I didn't realize
00:22:29.280 this,
00:22:29.660 but apparently
00:22:30.080 my trolls
00:22:30.720 are kind
00:22:31.740 and polite,
00:22:32.860 relatively speaking.
00:22:34.380 And I was wondering,
00:22:35.600 hey,
00:22:36.020 why are my trolls
00:22:36.960 and my critics
00:22:37.760 also kind
00:22:38.500 and polite?
00:22:39.820 And then I
00:22:40.320 looked down
00:22:40.780 and it's like,
00:22:41.200 oh,
00:22:42.100 oh,
00:22:42.400 I have a penis.
00:22:43.940 If you have
00:22:44.720 a penis,
00:22:46.480 your critics
00:22:48.080 and trolls
00:22:48.580 will not be
00:22:49.340 so bad.
00:22:50.840 Not so bad.
00:22:51.560 so I kind
00:22:53.440 of use my penis
00:22:54.200 as sort of
00:22:54.660 like a talisman
00:22:55.900 or like you
00:22:56.540 would use
00:22:56.860 garlic
00:22:57.360 for a vampire.
00:23:01.420 When the trolls
00:23:02.280 come after me,
00:23:03.400 I just say,
00:23:04.060 oh,
00:23:04.300 hold on,
00:23:04.860 trolls.
00:23:05.720 Hold on,
00:23:06.300 trolls.
00:23:07.200 I see where
00:23:07.980 this is going
00:23:08.560 and let me
00:23:09.420 just show you
00:23:09.940 something.
00:23:11.560 All right,
00:23:12.240 everybody,
00:23:13.040 you see that?
00:23:14.620 Are we good?
00:23:16.300 Everybody,
00:23:16.840 can you see that?
00:23:19.180 Are we good now?
00:23:20.100 And then the trolls
00:23:20.680 go away.
00:23:21.180 You know,
00:23:23.420 they start out
00:23:24.020 with,
00:23:24.400 we're going
00:23:24.600 to dismember
00:23:25.320 you and cook
00:23:26.520 you and eat
00:23:27.100 you and kill
00:23:28.980 everybody you
00:23:29.580 love.
00:23:30.460 But then you
00:23:31.180 say,
00:23:31.500 whoa,
00:23:31.680 I don't think
00:23:33.900 you saw
00:23:34.320 this,
00:23:35.120 did you?
00:23:36.900 And then
00:23:37.540 they go,
00:23:38.080 oh,
00:23:38.640 why didn't
00:23:40.220 you tell us
00:23:40.700 you had one
00:23:41.140 of those?
00:23:42.380 And then
00:23:42.740 they're like,
00:23:43.280 good job
00:23:43.880 on Dilbert
00:23:44.320 and I like
00:23:45.760 your live stream.
00:23:48.720 so try
00:23:52.360 that at home.
00:23:53.000 If your critics
00:23:53.980 are giving you
00:23:54.500 a hard time
00:23:55.060 and you're male,
00:23:56.540 just remind them.
00:23:58.940 Just show them
00:23:59.680 your,
00:24:00.100 show them
00:24:01.340 your garlic.
00:24:01.800 I saw,
00:24:05.220 I was pointed
00:24:06.260 to a piece
00:24:08.140 from the CDC
00:24:08.860 where they explain
00:24:09.860 how they
00:24:10.420 calculate or
00:24:12.940 measure the
00:24:13.740 seasonal regular
00:24:15.340 flu.
00:24:16.760 And one of the
00:24:17.620 things that I've
00:24:18.140 been asking is,
00:24:19.260 why is it I never
00:24:20.140 hear of anybody
00:24:20.940 dying from the
00:24:21.740 regular seasonal
00:24:22.640 flu?
00:24:22.960 And it turns
00:24:24.000 out that the
00:24:24.580 CDC,
00:24:25.580 I guess one
00:24:26.200 of their
00:24:26.420 website pages,
00:24:27.900 has maybe
00:24:28.680 an answer to
00:24:29.260 that.
00:24:30.160 And it goes
00:24:30.500 like this,
00:24:31.180 see if you've
00:24:31.760 ever heard
00:24:32.160 this before.
00:24:33.520 It's amazing
00:24:34.200 that we can
00:24:34.720 be a year
00:24:35.420 into this
00:24:35.980 pandemic stuff.
00:24:36.900 You think
00:24:37.200 you've heard
00:24:37.580 everything that
00:24:38.160 you could hear
00:24:38.660 about viruses
00:24:40.140 and stuff.
00:24:41.620 And then,
00:24:42.520 I never knew
00:24:43.260 this before.
00:24:44.560 So this is
00:24:45.100 what they say.
00:24:47.660 That,
00:24:48.480 ba-bum-bum,
00:24:49.080 many seasonal
00:24:49.840 flu-related
00:24:50.520 deaths occur
00:24:51.260 one or two
00:24:51.880 weeks after
00:24:52.780 a person's
00:24:54.120 initial infection.
00:24:55.880 Either because
00:24:56.820 the person may
00:24:57.440 develop a
00:24:57.960 secondary bacterial
00:24:59.160 co-inflection,
00:25:00.640 such as
00:25:01.260 bacterial pneumonia,
00:25:02.820 or because
00:25:03.640 seasonal flu
00:25:04.200 can aggravate
00:25:05.020 an existing
00:25:05.780 chronic illness
00:25:06.860 such as
00:25:07.480 congestive heart
00:25:08.800 failure or
00:25:09.400 chronic obstructive
00:25:11.080 pulmonary disease.
00:25:12.400 Therefore,
00:25:13.520 seasonal flu
00:25:14.140 is frequently
00:25:15.060 listed on
00:25:15.820 death certificates
00:25:16.620 of people who
00:25:18.520 die from
00:25:19.180 flu-related
00:25:20.500 complications.
00:25:21.900 It's infrequently
00:25:22.880 listed.
00:25:24.100 So in other
00:25:24.460 words,
00:25:25.100 you get the
00:25:26.300 flu,
00:25:27.060 and then the
00:25:28.560 flu goes
00:25:29.180 away.
00:25:30.340 So you don't
00:25:31.160 even have the
00:25:31.740 flu.
00:25:33.000 But getting
00:25:34.900 the flu
00:25:35.360 exacerbated your
00:25:36.500 other problems,
00:25:37.680 and then you
00:25:38.400 die from the
00:25:39.100 other problems.
00:25:43.520 And then it's
00:25:44.360 not coded the
00:25:45.340 flu,
00:25:46.040 because at the
00:25:46.900 moment you die,
00:25:48.400 you don't even
00:25:49.000 have the flu.
00:25:50.940 So are we
00:25:54.040 counting this
00:25:54.560 right?
00:25:55.520 Is that the
00:25:56.220 way you would
00:25:56.700 have counted
00:25:57.100 it?
00:25:57.920 Would you
00:25:58.400 count it as
00:25:59.040 a flu death
00:26:00.260 if the
00:26:01.720 person who
00:26:02.220 dies doesn't
00:26:04.500 have the
00:26:04.920 flu?
00:26:08.260 Somebody
00:26:08.740 says just
00:26:09.340 like COVID?
00:26:10.360 No.
00:26:11.620 Opposite.
00:26:13.480 Opposite of
00:26:14.080 COVID.
00:26:15.320 With COVID,
00:26:16.000 you die
00:26:16.940 because the
00:26:18.340 COVID and
00:26:19.040 the comorbidity
00:26:19.960 are there at
00:26:21.000 the same time.
00:26:22.840 That's my
00:26:23.440 understanding,
00:26:24.220 right?
00:26:24.820 I'm not hearing
00:26:25.820 that people are
00:26:26.400 dying two weeks
00:26:27.280 later from an
00:26:28.760 unrelated thing so
00:26:29.740 much.
00:26:30.040 Maybe.
00:26:30.440 Maybe there's
00:26:30.940 some of that
00:26:31.300 too that I'm
00:26:31.780 just not hearing
00:26:32.420 about.
00:26:33.140 But I've got a
00:26:33.800 feeling that the
00:26:34.400 way the
00:26:34.780 coronavirus is
00:26:35.500 killing people
00:26:36.040 is that you're
00:26:36.700 having two
00:26:37.180 things at the
00:26:37.720 same time.
00:26:39.160 At least part
00:26:41.040 of the story
00:26:41.560 about why we
00:26:42.420 don't count
00:26:43.140 seasonal flu
00:26:44.160 deaths,
00:26:44.560 the regular
00:26:44.880 flu,
00:26:45.160 is because
00:26:46.840 by the time
00:26:47.660 the people
00:26:48.040 die,
00:26:48.460 they don't
00:26:48.720 have any
00:26:49.080 flu.
00:26:50.580 For one
00:26:51.180 thing.
00:26:52.340 But when
00:26:52.920 they do
00:26:53.240 estimates,
00:26:53.920 they say,
00:26:54.280 yeah,
00:26:54.400 we're going
00:26:54.640 to count
00:26:54.940 those.
00:26:55.760 Even though
00:26:56.300 we don't
00:26:56.600 count them
00:26:57.000 individually,
00:26:57.780 they're going
00:26:58.020 to say
00:26:58.220 we're going
00:26:58.500 to count
00:26:58.780 them.
00:26:59.300 Now,
00:26:59.680 when you
00:26:59.960 see this,
00:27:00.540 do you
00:27:00.720 have confidence
00:27:01.340 that we
00:27:01.760 have any
00:27:02.140 idea what's
00:27:02.680 going on
00:27:03.100 with seasonal
00:27:03.640 flu?
00:27:04.380 And is that
00:27:04.960 a right way
00:27:05.480 to count
00:27:05.880 it?
00:27:07.580 Would you
00:27:08.100 say that
00:27:08.560 the thing
00:27:09.060 that happened
00:27:09.740 just before
00:27:11.760 somebody died
00:27:12.920 of something
00:27:14.460 else as the
00:27:15.140 cause?
00:27:16.380 Can we
00:27:16.820 think of
00:27:17.100 any other
00:27:17.580 analogies like
00:27:18.560 that?
00:27:20.560 Let's say
00:27:21.420 you,
00:27:23.660 somebody was
00:27:24.600 saying that
00:27:25.760 was it the
00:27:26.560 Brady bill and
00:27:27.560 when Brady
00:27:28.220 was shot,
00:27:29.860 that he died
00:27:30.600 decades later,
00:27:32.320 but the cause of
00:27:33.360 death was that
00:27:34.040 he was shot
00:27:34.620 decades earlier
00:27:36.520 and that had
00:27:37.020 complications
00:27:37.620 eventually.
00:27:38.300 So when you
00:27:39.260 say his cause
00:27:39.940 of death
00:27:40.280 is the
00:27:41.880 gun,
00:27:42.800 if he
00:27:43.420 survived
00:27:43.900 for decades,
00:27:46.460 but it
00:27:47.280 really was
00:27:47.840 that injury
00:27:48.400 that took
00:27:48.800 him out
00:27:49.100 in the end
00:27:49.540 is the
00:27:50.080 cause of
00:27:50.460 death
00:27:50.700 the gun.
00:27:52.940 I don't
00:27:53.440 know.
00:27:54.600 How do you
00:27:55.060 count that?
00:27:55.800 If everything
00:27:56.440 had to happen
00:27:57.060 just the way
00:27:57.620 it happened,
00:27:58.680 why is any
00:27:59.320 of it a
00:27:59.640 cause?
00:28:00.640 It's all
00:28:01.200 the cause.
00:28:02.680 It's either
00:28:03.060 all the cause
00:28:03.740 or none
00:28:04.060 of it,
00:28:04.300 right?
00:28:04.540 Because it
00:28:04.840 all had to
00:28:05.340 happen or
00:28:05.780 you wouldn't
00:28:06.100 get that
00:28:06.420 outcome.
00:28:06.680 And of
00:28:13.200 course our
00:28:13.560 military is
00:28:14.440 trying to
00:28:15.020 weed out
00:28:15.520 the white
00:28:17.680 supremacists
00:28:18.420 and I ask
00:28:19.080 you this,
00:28:20.060 should the
00:28:20.560 military also
00:28:21.400 weed out
00:28:22.060 any Antifa
00:28:23.480 and Black
00:28:24.520 Lives Matter
00:28:25.160 supporters?
00:28:26.760 Would that
00:28:27.460 be just as
00:28:28.440 fair as
00:28:30.400 weeding out
00:28:31.360 the white
00:28:31.720 supremacists?
00:28:32.480 Let's say
00:28:32.860 a white
00:28:33.380 supremacist
00:28:34.100 who had
00:28:36.380 not broken
00:28:37.360 any laws.
00:28:38.460 They weren't
00:28:38.760 threatening
00:28:39.140 anybody,
00:28:40.220 right?
00:28:41.460 I feel like
00:28:42.060 you have to
00:28:42.520 apply the
00:28:43.120 same standard
00:28:43.900 because if
00:28:46.840 any of those
00:28:47.440 people have
00:28:47.900 not done
00:28:48.320 anything that's
00:28:49.760 illegal,
00:28:51.720 then they
00:28:52.660 either have
00:28:53.040 to all
00:28:53.400 stay there
00:28:53.960 or you
00:28:55.000 have to
00:28:55.220 get rid
00:28:55.520 of all
00:28:55.820 of them.
00:28:57.680 What
00:28:58.120 standard are
00:28:58.980 you using
00:28:59.400 to decide
00:28:59.980 who goes?
00:29:00.520 if you
00:29:04.500 weeded
00:29:04.840 down
00:29:05.040 all
00:29:05.360 racists,
00:29:05.980 who
00:29:06.080 would
00:29:06.200 be
00:29:06.340 left?
00:29:09.060 Not
00:29:09.540 many
00:29:09.760 people.
00:29:10.960 Because
00:29:11.360 I feel
00:29:12.560 the healthiest
00:29:13.660 thing that
00:29:14.200 people could
00:29:15.020 take as
00:29:16.320 a way to
00:29:17.380 reframe
00:29:17.920 their reality
00:29:18.560 is that,
00:29:20.040 and I've
00:29:20.280 said this
00:29:20.580 a number
00:29:20.820 of times,
00:29:21.280 but I'll
00:29:22.160 just keep
00:29:22.520 saying it
00:29:22.960 until it
00:29:24.440 sinks in,
00:29:25.400 you don't
00:29:26.260 have the
00:29:26.640 option of
00:29:27.140 not being
00:29:27.520 a racist.
00:29:27.940 You don't
00:29:29.780 have that
00:29:30.120 option,
00:29:30.820 because your
00:29:31.460 brain is a
00:29:32.220 pattern recognition
00:29:33.160 machine.
00:29:35.060 Nobody would
00:29:35.800 disagree with
00:29:36.340 that.
00:29:36.620 We see
00:29:37.220 patterns,
00:29:38.080 and then we
00:29:39.160 act on the
00:29:39.660 patterns.
00:29:40.400 It's the
00:29:40.760 most basic
00:29:41.320 thing your
00:29:41.720 brain does.
00:29:43.040 But the
00:29:43.420 problem is
00:29:43.920 we're not
00:29:44.220 good at
00:29:44.680 it.
00:29:46.080 We operate
00:29:46.980 on patterns,
00:29:47.980 but we see
00:29:49.120 false patterns
00:29:49.860 as easily
00:29:50.400 as we see
00:29:50.960 real ones.
00:29:52.700 And then
00:29:53.060 you've got
00:29:53.340 your racism.
00:29:54.720 So,
00:29:55.680 saying that
00:29:56.300 there are
00:29:56.640 people who
00:29:57.100 are not
00:29:57.580 racists
00:29:58.160 is sort
00:29:58.920 of a
00:29:59.280 misunderstanding
00:30:00.060 of how
00:30:00.660 the brain
00:30:01.120 works.
00:30:02.540 It's a
00:30:02.900 pattern
00:30:03.160 recognition
00:30:03.700 machine.
00:30:04.820 It's just
00:30:05.220 not good
00:30:05.640 at it,
00:30:06.400 and therefore
00:30:07.100 you get
00:30:07.540 bias and
00:30:08.080 racism and
00:30:08.620 everything
00:30:08.820 else.
00:30:10.080 So,
00:30:11.460 the better
00:30:12.080 way to
00:30:12.340 look at
00:30:12.660 it is
00:30:12.980 there's
00:30:13.280 some more
00:30:13.940 modern
00:30:14.360 brain
00:30:14.720 theory that
00:30:15.260 says you're
00:30:15.660 not one
00:30:16.100 person,
00:30:17.560 but that
00:30:18.000 your personality
00:30:19.000 is actually
00:30:19.900 sort of a
00:30:21.540 contest
00:30:22.180 between parts
00:30:24.220 of your
00:30:24.460 brain.
00:30:25.380 So,
00:30:25.620 there's one
00:30:26.000 part of your
00:30:26.400 brain that
00:30:26.880 wants to
00:30:27.380 eat because
00:30:28.500 it's hungry,
00:30:29.260 but another
00:30:29.640 part wants to
00:30:30.260 get your
00:30:30.500 work done
00:30:31.000 first,
00:30:32.040 another part
00:30:32.680 is afraid.
00:30:34.040 So,
00:30:34.340 you've got
00:30:34.560 all these
00:30:34.940 almost like
00:30:35.640 micro-personalities
00:30:37.340 within your
00:30:38.500 head,
00:30:38.880 and all of
00:30:39.400 them are
00:30:39.660 competing.
00:30:41.120 Some of
00:30:41.620 them,
00:30:42.380 or at least
00:30:43.020 one,
00:30:44.300 is a
00:30:44.660 racist.
00:30:46.780 Every one
00:30:47.440 of your
00:30:47.640 heads,
00:30:48.120 there's no
00:30:48.480 exceptions.
00:30:49.760 So,
00:30:50.260 and that's
00:30:50.680 the part that
00:30:51.280 forms patterns,
00:30:52.560 but isn't very
00:30:53.260 good at it.
00:30:53.820 so it
00:30:54.540 forms bigoted
00:30:55.320 patterns as
00:30:56.020 well.
00:30:57.020 So,
00:30:58.260 this is
00:30:59.020 whacked.
00:31:01.380 So,
00:31:01.940 I think the
00:31:02.300 healthiest
00:31:02.700 thing we
00:31:03.100 can do
00:31:03.500 is to
00:31:04.600 acknowledge
00:31:05.420 that it's
00:31:05.980 not possible
00:31:06.740 to be
00:31:07.120 non-racist.
00:31:07.920 It doesn't
00:31:08.120 matter who
00:31:08.480 you are.
00:31:09.480 It doesn't
00:31:09.780 matter what
00:31:10.380 ethnicity you
00:31:11.400 are.
00:31:11.920 You don't
00:31:12.220 have that
00:31:12.560 option.
00:31:13.500 Nobody has
00:31:13.960 that option.
00:31:14.820 What you
00:31:15.160 do have
00:31:15.880 is the
00:31:16.540 option of
00:31:17.000 creating
00:31:17.400 laws that
00:31:19.440 can minimize
00:31:20.020 it as much
00:31:20.760 as possible.
00:31:21.220 You do
00:31:21.960 have the
00:31:22.400 option of
00:31:23.120 using your
00:31:23.620 higher
00:31:24.040 reasoning
00:31:24.540 to overcome
00:31:26.420 it when you
00:31:27.020 see it in
00:31:27.460 yourself,
00:31:28.000 to be more
00:31:28.580 alert,
00:31:29.680 you know,
00:31:29.880 when it's
00:31:30.240 sort of
00:31:30.960 sneaking out
00:31:31.640 and you
00:31:31.860 didn't know
00:31:32.200 you were
00:31:32.480 doing it.
00:31:33.460 And then
00:31:33.660 other people
00:31:34.100 say,
00:31:34.420 hey,
00:31:34.700 that was
00:31:35.220 a little
00:31:35.440 bit woke.
00:31:36.700 Let me
00:31:37.140 give you
00:31:37.580 a little
00:31:39.060 homework.
00:31:40.440 You ready?
00:31:42.440 Here's
00:31:42.880 some homework.
00:31:43.660 Go watch
00:31:44.360 some old
00:31:45.000 videos on
00:31:45.660 YouTube of
00:31:47.000 what used
00:31:47.680 to be called
00:31:48.140 the
00:31:48.360 fryer's
00:31:49.360 roasts.
00:31:50.480 Now,
00:31:51.300 the fryer's
00:31:52.040 was a
00:31:52.500 group,
00:31:53.020 I think
00:31:53.300 they were
00:31:53.500 mostly
00:31:53.880 celebrity
00:31:54.840 actors and
00:31:55.840 stuff,
00:31:56.620 and comedians,
00:31:57.280 and they
00:31:57.500 would get
00:31:57.800 together on
00:31:58.600 a regular
00:31:58.900 basis,
00:31:59.460 and it was
00:31:59.680 sort of
00:32:00.180 old-timey
00:32:00.960 TV,
00:32:01.680 and they
00:32:02.160 would just
00:32:02.420 pick some
00:32:02.820 famous person
00:32:03.500 and they
00:32:03.860 would roast
00:32:04.260 them,
00:32:04.660 so it would
00:32:04.900 be all
00:32:05.240 insults about
00:32:06.060 the person.
00:32:07.140 So I've
00:32:07.360 been binge
00:32:08.300 watching these
00:32:09.160 old fryer
00:32:09.800 things,
00:32:10.380 just for the
00:32:11.080 historical
00:32:11.760 fun of it,
00:32:13.620 and you
00:32:15.160 would be
00:32:15.540 amazed how
00:32:17.540 many things
00:32:18.320 you couldn't
00:32:18.920 show on
00:32:19.360 TV.
00:32:20.480 that they
00:32:21.200 just did
00:32:21.720 routinely in
00:32:22.440 those days.
00:32:23.880 You would
00:32:24.360 be amazed.
00:32:25.760 I would say
00:32:26.700 that one of
00:32:27.220 the dominant
00:32:27.840 joke themes
00:32:29.060 is calling
00:32:30.200 whoever was
00:32:30.900 being roasted
00:32:31.500 calling them
00:32:33.380 gay.
00:32:35.340 And I'm
00:32:35.880 thinking to
00:32:36.280 myself,
00:32:37.360 what?
00:32:39.600 Like,
00:32:40.000 it doesn't
00:32:40.800 even make
00:32:41.180 sense when
00:32:41.700 you watch
00:32:42.060 it anymore.
00:32:42.600 You're like,
00:32:43.540 why is that
00:32:44.120 an insult?
00:32:44.820 Like,
00:32:45.080 our modern
00:32:45.720 brain can't
00:32:46.380 even understand
00:32:47.040 why this is
00:32:47.680 in the
00:32:47.960 program at
00:32:48.480 all.
00:32:49.540 But in
00:32:49.880 those days,
00:32:50.840 they could
00:32:51.640 stand on
00:32:52.180 television,
00:32:53.440 and they
00:32:53.720 could diminish
00:32:55.820 somebody in
00:32:57.460 a laughing
00:32:57.960 way by
00:32:58.760 suggesting that
00:32:59.700 they are
00:33:00.540 gay.
00:33:02.560 And,
00:33:03.140 you know,
00:33:04.180 I think I
00:33:05.480 am pretty
00:33:06.420 compatible with
00:33:07.480 most of the
00:33:08.200 people watching
00:33:09.820 this and
00:33:11.000 saying that
00:33:11.600 the wokeness
00:33:12.400 has gone too
00:33:13.000 far,
00:33:13.480 blah,
00:33:13.700 blah,
00:33:13.800 blah,
00:33:14.000 blah.
00:33:14.520 But as
00:33:16.680 much as I'm
00:33:17.580 empathetic to
00:33:19.220 the fact that
00:33:19.720 the wokeness
00:33:20.340 has gone too
00:33:21.040 far,
00:33:21.740 when you
00:33:22.300 watch these
00:33:22.760 old shows,
00:33:24.280 and you
00:33:24.640 watch them
00:33:25.120 just basically
00:33:27.660 putting down
00:33:28.760 gay people,
00:33:30.320 just as a
00:33:31.020 fucking joke.
00:33:32.760 Just as a
00:33:33.400 fucking joke.
00:33:34.780 It's not
00:33:35.360 funny.
00:33:36.440 It's really
00:33:37.140 not funny when
00:33:37.860 you watch it.
00:33:38.920 And I don't
00:33:39.680 know if I,
00:33:40.200 I don't have a
00:33:40.980 specific memory
00:33:41.880 if I ever
00:33:42.560 laughed at it
00:33:43.220 when I
00:33:44.900 watched it
00:33:45.400 as a kid.
00:33:46.320 I don't
00:33:46.840 think so,
00:33:47.460 because they
00:33:47.800 don't look
00:33:48.260 like they
00:33:48.580 would have
00:33:48.820 been funny
00:33:49.280 even back
00:33:49.720 then.
00:33:50.860 But there
00:33:52.040 is definitely,
00:33:54.700 I think if
00:33:56.020 you reject
00:33:57.060 all of the
00:33:58.660 wokeness,
00:33:59.920 that's going
00:34:01.680 too far.
00:34:02.860 There is
00:34:03.480 something good
00:34:04.420 in the
00:34:05.840 wokeness.
00:34:07.240 And this
00:34:07.500 would be a
00:34:07.800 perfect example.
00:34:08.720 Do you want
00:34:09.080 to live in a
00:34:09.580 world where
00:34:10.900 there could be
00:34:11.460 just a TV
00:34:12.540 show,
00:34:13.020 that everybody
00:34:13.580 is watching,
00:34:14.700 in which
00:34:15.100 somebody is
00:34:15.820 just using
00:34:16.440 the way
00:34:17.780 somebody was
00:34:18.500 born,
00:34:20.480 right,
00:34:20.940 they're born
00:34:21.420 into the
00:34:22.060 LGBTQ world,
00:34:25.080 and using
00:34:26.160 that as an
00:34:26.720 insult for
00:34:27.740 somebody else.
00:34:28.440 You don't
00:34:28.760 want to live
00:34:29.120 in that
00:34:29.320 world,
00:34:29.660 do you?
00:34:30.380 Not at
00:34:30.760 all.
00:34:31.940 So,
00:34:33.140 if you want
00:34:35.080 to get just
00:34:35.800 a better feel
00:34:36.880 for why the
00:34:39.220 wokeness even
00:34:39.900 exists,
00:34:40.440 you know,
00:34:41.400 there are
00:34:41.560 lots of
00:34:41.860 reasons for
00:34:42.320 it.
00:34:45.800 Watching how
00:34:46.480 bad it was
00:34:47.360 when I was
00:34:48.000 a kid will
00:34:48.760 really wake
00:34:49.360 you up,
00:34:49.920 so to speak,
00:34:50.960 wake you up
00:34:51.620 to how bad
00:34:52.120 it was,
00:34:53.120 and maybe you
00:34:53.700 just didn't
00:34:54.040 even realize
00:34:54.600 it at the
00:34:55.040 time.
00:34:55.380 But it
00:34:55.560 was pretty
00:34:55.860 bad.
00:34:56.900 Pretty darn
00:34:57.440 bad.
00:35:00.780 People use
00:35:01.560 fat as an
00:35:02.480 insult.
00:35:02.840 Yeah,
00:35:04.400 you know,
00:35:05.000 but fat
00:35:06.480 is one of
00:35:06.940 those,
00:35:08.200 sort of a
00:35:09.900 strange case.
00:35:11.880 And,
00:35:12.260 you know,
00:35:13.140 I've used
00:35:13.580 the word
00:35:13.920 too,
00:35:14.440 but I
00:35:14.760 don't use
00:35:15.160 it as an
00:35:15.980 insult,
00:35:16.740 per se.
00:35:18.780 I think
00:35:19.380 you can use
00:35:19.820 it as a
00:35:20.240 description.
00:35:21.520 And I
00:35:22.000 don't believe
00:35:22.360 there's anybody
00:35:22.900 who is
00:35:23.580 overweight who
00:35:25.480 thinks that's
00:35:26.160 their first
00:35:26.620 choice.
00:35:27.300 Like,
00:35:27.560 yeah,
00:35:28.080 I want to
00:35:28.420 be overweight.
00:35:28.920 so it's,
00:35:31.860 somebody says
00:35:32.720 fat is
00:35:33.340 controllable.
00:35:34.240 It's
00:35:34.500 controllable to
00:35:35.120 an extent,
00:35:35.780 but there's
00:35:36.240 definitely a
00:35:36.760 difference in
00:35:37.300 how much
00:35:37.940 people like
00:35:38.680 food,
00:35:39.760 and that
00:35:40.040 difference
00:35:40.640 comes through.
00:35:45.620 Yeah,
00:35:46.220 and even
00:35:46.560 Foster Brooks
00:35:48.020 was a famous
00:35:48.840 old comedian
00:35:49.480 in those
00:35:49.960 fryer's roasts,
00:35:51.240 and his
00:35:51.840 act was he
00:35:52.600 would act
00:35:53.160 like he
00:35:53.620 was drunk,
00:35:54.960 and he
00:35:55.260 would just
00:35:55.540 do his
00:35:55.960 act like
00:35:56.400 he was
00:35:56.600 drunk.
00:35:57.400 And I'm
00:35:57.740 thinking,
00:35:58.220 I don't
00:35:58.740 even know
00:35:59.020 if you
00:35:59.220 could do
00:35:59.500 that today,
00:36:00.380 because today
00:36:01.340 we see
00:36:01.820 addiction as
00:36:02.840 a medical
00:36:03.240 problem.
00:36:04.320 It's not
00:36:05.000 funny,
00:36:05.600 it's not
00:36:06.040 cute,
00:36:06.760 just a
00:36:07.460 medical
00:36:07.700 problem.
00:36:09.100 So I
00:36:09.760 think even
00:36:10.100 that would
00:36:10.460 be different.
00:36:12.940 Yeah,
00:36:13.200 Dean Martin
00:36:13.660 would act
00:36:14.180 drunk as
00:36:14.980 well.
00:36:17.560 All right,
00:36:18.440 so that's
00:36:18.740 all I got
00:36:19.020 for today.
00:36:22.880 There's a
00:36:23.460 police video,
00:36:24.240 somebody says.
00:36:27.620 Some babies
00:36:28.440 are born
00:36:28.860 that way.
00:36:30.400 Now,
00:36:30.800 when I
00:36:31.160 say that
00:36:32.500 weight is
00:36:34.140 a function
00:36:34.680 of differences
00:36:37.120 among people,
00:36:38.800 what I mean
00:36:39.480 is that some
00:36:39.940 people just
00:36:40.380 enjoy food
00:36:41.580 differently.
00:36:43.440 I can
00:36:44.100 control my
00:36:44.840 weight relatively
00:36:45.880 easily,
00:36:47.100 because yesterday,
00:36:48.420 for example,
00:36:49.480 the whole day
00:36:50.100 I thought to
00:36:50.600 myself,
00:36:50.940 I don't feel
00:36:51.300 like eating.
00:36:52.560 I just went a
00:36:53.540 whole day
00:36:54.020 without not
00:36:55.500 once feeling
00:36:56.140 like eating.
00:36:57.040 I mean,
00:36:57.260 I did,
00:36:57.800 because I
00:36:58.100 need to,
00:36:58.920 but I
00:36:59.180 didn't want
00:36:59.500 to.
00:37:00.320 There wasn't
00:37:00.740 one time I
00:37:01.280 wanted to
00:37:01.900 eat yesterday.
00:37:03.140 Now,
00:37:04.100 how many
00:37:04.860 people who
00:37:05.360 have a
00:37:05.680 weight
00:37:05.860 problem
00:37:06.300 could say
00:37:07.360 that's even
00:37:08.040 happened to
00:37:08.600 them once?
00:37:10.200 That you
00:37:10.820 could go a
00:37:11.340 whole day
00:37:11.860 and not once
00:37:13.260 did you feel
00:37:13.800 like you
00:37:14.140 really wanted
00:37:14.620 to eat?
00:37:15.900 Right?
00:37:16.140 These are
00:37:16.480 different things.
00:37:18.020 I'm not a
00:37:18.740 hero because I
00:37:19.600 can keep my
00:37:20.180 weight under
00:37:20.640 control.
00:37:21.280 I just don't
00:37:22.320 like food as
00:37:22.920 much.
00:37:23.180 That's all
00:37:23.640 it is.
00:37:24.980 By the way,
00:37:25.600 I learned
00:37:25.900 that from
00:37:26.540 my hypnosis
00:37:27.660 instructor.
00:37:28.500 It was one
00:37:28.720 of the best
00:37:29.080 lessons I
00:37:29.640 ever learned.
00:37:31.060 My hypnosis
00:37:31.860 instructor had
00:37:32.820 a weight
00:37:33.300 problem himself,
00:37:34.600 and when he
00:37:35.400 talked about
00:37:35.840 how hypnosis
00:37:36.680 is no good
00:37:37.500 for helping
00:37:39.220 people with
00:37:39.740 their weight,
00:37:40.460 he explained
00:37:41.160 it this way.
00:37:42.040 He said,
00:37:42.480 you can't
00:37:42.940 hypnotize
00:37:43.520 somebody to
00:37:43.980 do something
00:37:44.420 they fundamentally
00:37:45.860 don't want
00:37:46.500 to do.
00:37:47.640 And if they
00:37:48.260 think the
00:37:48.620 hypnosis is
00:37:49.380 going to make
00:37:49.780 them lose
00:37:50.260 weight,
00:37:51.240 and they
00:37:51.580 haven't decided
00:37:52.420 to lose
00:37:52.940 weight,
00:37:53.700 they just
00:37:54.080 want the
00:37:54.420 hypnosis to
00:37:55.100 do it for
00:37:55.560 them,
00:37:56.080 it'll never
00:37:56.520 work.
00:37:57.960 The deciding
00:37:58.640 is the
00:37:58.980 active part.
00:38:01.680 If you
00:38:02.020 decide to
00:38:02.740 lose weight,
00:38:03.440 then you're
00:38:03.780 going to
00:38:03.980 take whatever
00:38:04.740 pain it
00:38:05.280 takes,
00:38:06.020 because you've
00:38:06.480 already said
00:38:06.860 whatever it
00:38:07.280 takes,
00:38:08.220 it doesn't
00:38:08.500 matter how
00:38:08.880 much it
00:38:09.160 hurts,
00:38:10.120 I've decided,
00:38:11.220 I'm just
00:38:11.540 going to do
00:38:11.880 this now.
00:38:13.240 Then hypnosis
00:38:14.240 would work,
00:38:14.960 but so would
00:38:15.320 every other
00:38:15.740 method.
00:38:16.200 It's really
00:38:16.520 the deciding
00:38:17.120 that made
00:38:17.720 the difference.
00:38:18.980 But my
00:38:19.700 hypnosis
00:38:20.480 instructor said
00:38:21.440 this,
00:38:21.840 he goes,
00:38:22.220 you want
00:38:22.980 to know
00:38:23.220 why I'm
00:38:23.580 fat?
00:38:24.940 He used
00:38:25.560 the word
00:38:26.000 himself.
00:38:27.500 He goes,
00:38:27.800 you want
00:38:28.020 to know
00:38:28.220 why I'm
00:38:28.620 fat?
00:38:29.760 He goes,
00:38:30.140 I like
00:38:30.460 food.
00:38:32.280 If you
00:38:32.860 complicate it,
00:38:34.360 you don't
00:38:35.320 need to.
00:38:36.120 That's the
00:38:36.500 whole story.
00:38:37.440 He said,
00:38:37.760 I'm fat
00:38:38.120 because I
00:38:38.440 like food.
00:38:39.880 If you
00:38:40.260 like food
00:38:40.700 as much
00:38:41.040 as I
00:38:41.320 do,
00:38:41.580 you'd
00:38:41.760 be fat.
00:38:42.760 Once you
00:38:43.240 understand
00:38:43.780 that,
00:38:47.000 somebody
00:38:48.300 says,
00:38:48.780 I'm done.
00:38:49.260 this guy
00:38:50.300 is boring
00:38:50.800 and he's
00:38:51.460 lying.
00:38:52.760 Well,
00:38:53.020 only one
00:38:53.500 of those
00:38:53.780 is true.
00:38:55.160 I'm not
00:38:55.500 lying about
00:38:56.040 anything.
00:38:56.960 I'm just
00:38:57.320 boring.
00:38:58.380 But I'm
00:38:58.940 going to
00:38:59.160 solve your
00:38:59.640 problem.
00:39:01.140 Boom.
00:39:01.660 You'll
00:39:01.920 never have
00:39:02.340 to deal
00:39:02.820 with me
00:39:03.100 again.
00:39:04.420 I like
00:39:04.780 it when
00:39:05.000 I can
00:39:05.280 solve
00:39:06.020 problems.
00:39:10.400 Somebody
00:39:10.840 says,
00:39:11.160 I believe
00:39:11.440 the emotion
00:39:12.040 is at
00:39:12.500 the base
00:39:12.960 and not
00:39:13.420 the deciding.
00:39:15.080 I don't
00:39:15.880 believe that.
00:39:17.120 I don't
00:39:17.560 believe that.
00:39:19.260 I don't
00:39:20.200 believe the
00:39:20.860 emotion
00:39:21.960 slash
00:39:23.440 eating
00:39:24.000 connection
00:39:25.080 except that
00:39:26.140 some people
00:39:26.640 like to eat
00:39:27.080 more.
00:39:27.960 All right,
00:39:28.440 that's all
00:39:28.720 for now
00:39:29.040 and I'll
00:39:29.300 talk to
00:39:29.560 you later
00:39:29.900 tomorrow.
00:39:33.240 The news
00:39:34.200 is very
00:39:34.660 boring lately.
00:39:35.520 It's not
00:39:35.880 my fault.
00:39:37.560 But it'll
00:39:38.200 get better
00:39:38.720 tomorrow.
00:39:41.600 Your gut
00:39:42.420 biome
00:39:43.020 affects your
00:39:43.620 weight.
00:39:44.540 Well,
00:39:44.880 here's the
00:39:45.300 thing.
00:39:46.320 I saw
00:39:46.980 this statement
00:39:48.620 from,
00:39:49.480 let's
00:39:50.380 see,
00:39:50.640 who was
00:39:51.100 it?
00:39:51.380 British
00:39:51.840 actor
00:39:52.400 Michael,
00:39:54.300 I forget
00:39:55.040 his name.
00:39:57.220 But he
00:39:57.580 said,
00:39:58.180 why is it
00:39:59.200 that when
00:39:59.460 you see
00:39:59.820 photos of
00:40:00.900 starving
00:40:01.720 people,
00:40:02.320 none of
00:40:02.620 them are
00:40:02.940 fat?
00:40:04.760 Right?
00:40:05.260 So his
00:40:05.720 point is,
00:40:06.820 if it's
00:40:07.440 not how
00:40:07.860 much you
00:40:08.280 eat,
00:40:09.720 then why
00:40:10.160 are there
00:40:10.440 no people
00:40:10.920 starving to
00:40:11.640 death while
00:40:12.180 still fat?
00:40:13.000 Like people
00:40:13.480 who,
00:40:14.560 tragically,
00:40:15.400 were in
00:40:15.680 concentration
00:40:16.120 camps and
00:40:16.820 stuff.
00:40:17.040 So there's
00:40:17.800 no question
00:40:18.360 that eating
00:40:18.820 less reduces
00:40:20.360 your weight.
00:40:21.480 We have
00:40:22.020 countless
00:40:22.600 examples of
00:40:23.400 people starving
00:40:24.060 to death,
00:40:24.560 and none
00:40:24.840 of them
00:40:25.080 died fat.
00:40:26.760 You know,
00:40:27.080 they all
00:40:27.640 got thin
00:40:28.100 first.
00:40:29.280 So,
00:40:32.160 put that
00:40:33.860 in your
00:40:34.220 calculations.
00:40:35.560 All right,
00:40:35.820 that's all I
00:40:36.160 got for now.
00:40:36.840 Talk to you
00:40:37.320 later.
00:40:37.480 Thank you.
00:40:37.580 Thank you.
00:40:37.680 Thank you.
00:40:38.100 Thank you.
00:40:39.680 Thank you.
