Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1313 Scott Adams： Wokeness Cult Deprogramming, CNN Cancels Abe Lincoln, North Korea Misses Trump

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 1.00

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. 0.73

00:04:32.160 And white supremacy is sort of the perfect boogeyman, 0.81

00:04:37.240 because it has all the qualities you want, 0.74

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 0.50

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. 0.99

00:11:02.820 He was a big old racist. 0.99

00:11:04.900 Not worse than people 0.99

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. 0.96

00:11:17.980 But still pretty darn racist 0.81

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 0.94

00:15:00.320 from Winn-Binkley

00:15:01.180 about persuasion. 0.99

00:15:02.460 But Loser Think 0.89

00:15:03.180 is about how 0.99

00:15:03.880 to identify bullshit, 0.99

00:15:05.900 which is what keeps you 0.99

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 0.82

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 0.98

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. 0.85

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 1.00

00:22:08.140 and eat her 1.00

00:22:08.600 after a sexual assault. 0.99

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, 1.00

00:22:42.400 I have a penis. 1.00

00:22:43.940 If you have 1.00

00:22:44.720 a penis, 1.00

00:22:46.480 your critics 1.00

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 1.00

00:22:53.440 of use my penis 1.00

00:22:54.200 as sort of 1.00

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 0.82

00:22:57.360 for a vampire. 0.87

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, 0.94

00:23:04.860 trolls. 0.86

00:23:05.720 Hold on, 0.98

00:23:06.300 trolls.

00:23:07.200 I see where 0.98

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. 0.82

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 0.98

00:23:24.600 to dismember 1.00

00:23:25.320 you and cook 1.00

00:23:26.520 you and eat 1.00

00:23:27.100 you and kill 1.00

00:23:28.980 everybody you 1.00

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, 0.95

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, 0.59

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 0.60

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 0.99

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 0.99

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 0.72

00:28:15.520 the white 1.00

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 0.97

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 0.90

00:28:31.720 supremacists?

00:28:32.480 Let's say 0.91

00:28:32.860 a white 0.97

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 0.86

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 0.56

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 0.99

00:30:44.660 racist. 0.99

00:30:46.780 Every one 1.00

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 0.99

00:32:33.380 gay. 0.93

00:32:35.340 And I'm 0.99

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 0.83

00:33:00.540 gay. 0.99

00:33:02.560 And, 0.98

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 0.88

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 0.98

00:33:28.760 gay people, 0.99

00:33:30.320 just as a 1.00

00:33:31.020 fucking joke. 1.00

00:33:32.760 Just as a 1.00

00:33:33.400 fucking joke. 0.99

00:33:34.780 It's not 1.00

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. 0.98

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 0.55

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 0.91

00:38:41.760 be fat.

00:38:42.760 Once you 0.97

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? 0.99

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, 0.96

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.
