Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1330 Scott Adams： The Gaetz Extortion Story, Feds Try Shutting Down Crypto, Amish Stuff, Bitegate

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody. Come on in. It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams. Best time of the day? Yeah.

00:00:12.340 Good morning, Omar. Good morning, the rest of you. And today is the last day of Periscope.

00:00:21.240 Feels like the end of an era. But you're not done with me yet. You know, I've been

00:00:27.320 simultaneously doing this on YouTube, as the YouTube viewers looking at me right now. So if

00:00:34.660 you're looking for me, go to YouTube and just Google Real Coffee with Scott Adams. I think there

00:00:40.180 might be like a fake one, but look for Real Coffee with Scott Adams. And you'll get me there. Now I'm

00:00:47.040 also planning to add at least one more platform. Now I don't know if the new Twitter whatever live

00:00:53.320 thing will be something I can use. I haven't looked into it yet. But I might go to Rumble.

00:01:00.280 So I might be simultaneously on that. But I haven't looked into it yet. All right. So you want to talk

00:01:08.480 about all the things? Or do you want to do the simultaneous sip? Yeah, I know what you want.

00:01:13.660 But all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stye, and a canteen jug,

00:01:17.720 a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. And I like coffee. And join me

00:01:24.020 now for the unparalleled pleasure. The dopamine hit of the day. The thing that makes everything

00:01:30.480 better. It's called the Simultaneous Sip. But it happens now. Go.

00:01:33.680 Well, I was trying to figure out why people who normally would be of the same opinion as I

00:01:51.540 disagree with me so much on this one question of vaccine passports. And I finally figured out what

00:01:59.200 it is. It took me a while. Because I couldn't figure out why my view, which I thought just

00:02:05.220 seemed completely reasonable, was just a mile away from most of you, actually. Probably the majority

00:02:11.340 of you. And here's the answer that I have preliminarily. When you hear the government is

00:02:20.140 going to implement a system, what happens in your brain? Every alarm goes off, right? It doesn't

00:02:27.100 matter what the system is. If the government is going to impose a new system, you don't like

00:02:33.180 it. And the other assumption, and this is the part I finally realized, the difference is

00:02:39.120 that when I see that the government is considering implementing a system, I make the following

00:02:46.380 assumptions, which are different than yours. So this is why we ended up on different places.

00:02:51.760 My assumption, well, let's do your assumption first. Your assumption, you mean most of you,

00:02:59.120 not every one of you. Your assumption is that if the government puts in any new system, it's just

00:03:05.140 a slippery slope, or even doesn't even take much slipping, to be a monstrous mistake. And it doesn't

00:03:14.440 even matter what the system is. If the government's going to do it, and it's going to have some effect

00:03:19.980 on you, it's just going to be a giant screw-up. Now, if that's your philosophy, that it doesn't

00:03:28.280 even matter what the system is, they're going to do it wrong, and they're going to do it in the

00:03:32.080 worst possible way, so it doesn't just help solve a pandemic, it actually removes your rights forever,

00:03:39.700 like the worst possible thing you could do. Is it reasonable to assume that the government would

00:03:46.740 just do the worst possible implementation? I would say no. In my opinion, that's not reasonable.

00:03:55.480 It's not reasonable. Here's what I think. I think that it more likely starts exactly like yours.

00:04:04.140 Day one, the government implements a new program. It doesn't matter if it's this vaccine

00:04:08.620 vaccination passport or anything else. On day one, how does it look? Pretty bad, right?

00:04:17.940 Pretty bad. Like Obamacare, day one. You know, the websites don't work and stuff. So I would agree

00:04:24.100 with you so far. So so far, we're on the same page. Everything the government does is a gigantic

00:04:31.820 mistake. On day one, right? So we're on the same page there. But where we differ is that I think

00:04:40.400 things improve over time, and you think that they're a slippery slope to something worse.

00:04:46.340 Doesn't mean you're wrong. Doesn't mean you're wrong. So so far, we're not disagreeing, right?

00:04:52.060 So far. Here's, and then to find out which of those views is more likely reasonable, I think you'd

00:04:59.800 have to look at historical examples. Now the problem is, historical examples are never exacts,

00:05:06.540 right? They're analogies, they feel the same, but it's not the same situations. I've argued that the

00:05:14.280 government routinely puts in short-term measures and then removes them when they're not necessary. 0.99

00:05:21.240 Other people say, you idiot, once they put in anything short-term and money starts being involved, 0.99

00:05:27.900 it just ends up being forever. Taxes being a, you know, an example that's given. Somebody gave an 1.00

00:05:34.660 example that the government raised taxes 4% to pay for World War II, and then we've just been taxed

00:05:43.100 forever. But nothing's really like taxes. Because I think every country that doesn't have massive oil

00:05:50.980 revenue has taxes. So I'm not sure you can, you can say that, hey, we have taxes, therefore the

00:05:57.380 government always does X or Y. We're just sort of like every other country, we have taxes to run the

00:06:03.860 country. So that's not a good example. But what about other things? Let's take a Patriot Act. Okay,

00:06:11.180 there's a good one. The Patriot Act. Has the Patriot Act hurt any of you personally? How many of you

00:06:21.020 have been somehow inconvenienced by the Patriot Act? Is there anybody here whose life was affected

00:06:29.780 by the Patriot Act? What would be some examples? I see yeses. And what are the examples? I haven't

00:06:40.860 talked, I haven't talked about crypto yet. That's coming up. The spending, the spending, okay. So, but again,

00:06:50.380 the spending is sort of hard to compare that to anything. Yeah, I'm just looking at your comments

00:07:00.160 now. All right, so a lot of you are OTSA, etc. But here's the thing, there are lots of things the

00:07:06.160 government does that need to be done. So if they do something that needs to be done, and it continues

00:07:11.840 to need to be done, is that the government failing? Or are they just taking care of things when they need

00:07:17.920 to? And then they just keep doing it? Is that a problem? What about when there's a FEMA emergency

00:07:25.380 and there are emergency restrictions put in place? Has the government ever declared an emergency

00:07:31.080 and then just kept the restrictions in place after the emergency was over? Has that ever happened?

00:07:39.560 Unless it made sense for some reason. I can't think of it.

00:07:42.740 Been to an airport in the last 30 years. Well, of course, airports have security because they think

00:07:50.380 they need it, right? Wouldn't you want good security in an airport? Do you not want that? I kind of like

00:07:58.820 the good security in the airport. FISA court, good example. But the FISA court is probably being

00:08:05.900 examined now, right? I forget the details. All right. So the examples you give me are things which

00:08:14.340 I'm not so sure that the public is against. Which of the things you mentioned would the public

00:08:22.560 by a majority be against? I don't know the answer to that, but that wasn't, that sounded like a,

00:08:31.580 uh, sounded like a point. It was an actual question. Um, TSA has caught zero terrorists.

00:08:45.820 So there's somebody here who thinks that the airports should not have, uh, the high level of

00:08:50.720 security that they do. Wouldn't that just make it obvious that planes would start blowing up?

00:08:55.780 The FISA thing is a good example of something that, um, became a problem. And is it not being

00:09:05.820 reviewed right now? So my point is this, that when things become a problem, we, we then get serious

00:09:13.800 about it and try to solve it. Private security might be better. Somebody said, well, I don't know about

00:09:20.240 that. All right. So I'm very interested in your examples. So here's the thing. I think that, uh,

00:09:26.760 the vaccine, the vaccination passports, people are saying, uh, next thing, you know, they'll be

00:09:32.120 putting other healthcare information on there to which I say, really, you think other healthcare

00:09:40.200 information is going to end up on that database? I could see other vaccinations. I could see that,

00:09:47.320 but what other healthcare information would need to be on there? What business isn't going to let you

00:09:52.880 in because of your health situation? Uh, to me, it seems like the market will take care of this.

00:10:00.780 Let's say we have vaccination passports and, uh, airlines require it. Um, how is that different

00:10:09.000 from now? I mean, I've flown a few times during the pandemic and each time they required me to get a

00:10:15.020 COVID test. That's negative. And I just got the test and then I flew. It was inconvenient and I

00:10:22.500 didn't like it, but I prefer doing that knowing that other people also took the test. If you gave

00:10:28.260 me a choice of flying without it or flying with the test, I would have taken the test. So I'm never

00:10:36.720 against, uh, the government having useful information. So here's, here's the bottom line.

00:10:41.660 Now, those of you who are saying, my God, the government messes up everything. It's going

00:10:46.840 to be a slippery slope. Um, as Abe says, slippery slopes are slippery. Well, I'm not sure that's

00:10:55.160 a reason, but, uh, I, I acknowledge, I acknowledge your suspicion that the government ruins everything.

00:11:04.820 I would just say that if you looked at everything the government's done, you'd probably find more

00:11:10.040 successes than failures. And I don't think we have the government that would allow us to move to full

00:11:16.200 social credit system. So let me make you this offer for those of you who are worried. If our

00:11:22.780 government, um, either slips into it or decides to have a social credit system, like the Chinese 0.99

00:11:31.040 social credit system, do we all agree that we will overthrow the government? Democrats, Republicans,

00:11:37.740 we'll just all throw in together on this one and just overthrow the government. I mean,

00:11:44.400 actually overthrow the government, not, not just, you know, make small changes.

00:11:52.860 So here, here's a guy who says, I'm out. Scott has gone full blown bootlicker. I just told you that

00:11:59.900 I'm going to, I'm going to be on your side to overthrow the whole fucking government. 0.99

00:12:03.560 So if you think you're less extreme than me, maybe listen for the rest of the story. 0.99

00:12:10.900 So here's what I think. I think sometimes the government needs to do some things, especially

00:12:15.040 in an emergency. I think that if they go too far, we overthrow the fucking government. 0.99

00:12:20.940 We don't really live in the country where the government is going to ride rough shot, rough 0.99

00:12:26.000 shot? What's that word? I don't think we live in a country that the government can abuse us

00:12:30.560 the way China can abuse its citizens. I think we have too many guns, we have too many

00:12:36.100 patriots, we have too many freedom loving people, and we're just not that personality.

00:12:42.720 You know, countries have a personality. You know that, right? So it's a lot of different individuals,

00:12:48.720 but America has a personality. And there is a limit, right? And nobody here, nobody is going to be

00:12:56.960 okay with a social credit system, right? So if you're worried that I've gone full bootlicker,

00:13:02.500 bootlicker, let me tell you, I would take up arms and I would be part of an armed insurrection

00:13:07.880 against the government if they do a social credit system. So is that badass? Is that bad enough for

00:13:16.320 you? All right. Are the rest of you not with me? You wouldn't, you wouldn't take up arms if they did

00:13:22.180 that? Because, so he says, BS. No, I would take up arms. I'm not kidding. Yeah, you, there is a limit

00:13:32.000 that every citizen has. I'm just telling you what mine is. That's my limit. How many things in this

00:13:40.140 country are opposed by a majority of the public? Can you think of, somebody says, you are no badass.

00:13:48.940 What do you know about me? My personality has this strange characteristic, which is I'm totally

00:14:02.180 flexible until I'm not. And sometimes that fools people because people see me being very flexible.

00:14:11.020 Yeah, let me, I will consider your argument. I'd like to fully consider both sides. Seem very flexible.

00:14:16.840 I'm very flexible. I'm very flexible. And I try to be until I'm not. And I just told you where not

00:14:22.940 happens. Social credit system. That's when I'm not flexible anymore. There's no argument there.

00:14:30.540 There's a point beyond which nobody is flexible. That's my point. All right. Let's talk about these

00:14:37.180 Floyd trial. I'm learning that there's such a thing as a two, there are two ways to joke a person.

00:14:42.180 Apparently, there's the air choke where you're, you're cutting off their airflow. And then there's

00:14:49.300 the blood choke, which I only heard of today. Apparently, if you're an MMA fighter, you know

00:14:54.600 about this stuff. And a blood choke, you're apparently putting pressure on the arteries or

00:15:00.880 veins or whatever, I think arteries, and cutting off the blood flow. So the air choke cuts off the air,

00:15:09.860 the blood choke cuts off the blood. And at least two MMA fighters have said that when they look at it,

00:15:19.440 it looks like Chauvin or Chauvin, whoever he is, was adjusting to make sure he had a blood choke

00:15:27.020 instead of an air choke. Now, what is the significance of this? First of all, I wouldn't know the difference,

00:15:35.740 and I don't know if it's true. But if it were true, I did a little bit of Googling.

00:15:43.060 Did a little bit of Googling. And it seems that some people say the blood choke, the one he's

00:15:52.660 allegedly used, would cause you to pass out, but it wouldn't kill you.

00:15:57.260 But I suppose it depends how long you do it, right? If you did it forever, then it would kill you, I guess.

00:16:06.840 So, somebody says, I think doctors would be able to tell what kind of choke it was.

00:16:12.860 Well, only if there was tissue damage, right?

00:16:16.600 So what I don't know is if you did a blood choke, would that necessarily leave some bruising?

00:16:21.920 Or damage? I don't know. If you did it for nine minutes, maybe. I don't know.

00:16:27.780 So, my remaining questions are, would a blood choke be deadly?

00:16:35.240 Would it be deadly? I don't know.

00:16:39.060 If you held it long enough, maybe.

00:16:41.320 So we'll wait on that, see what's going on there.

00:16:43.900 So, Biden has this infrastructure plan that's going to cost a few trillion dollars and gets

00:16:52.000 into all kinds of stuff. And here's my question on it. And I want to see if you know the answer

00:16:58.720 to this. Does this pay for itself? Because the infrastructure is not like other things.

00:17:06.380 You know, if you fund a bunch of infrastructure, it ends up employing tons of people. And the

00:17:12.260 the kinds of people it employs are exactly the ones we want to get employed, right? The ones who

00:17:18.920 maybe don't have an advanced college degree, but for all sorts of construction infrastructure jobs,

00:17:25.640 they're exactly the right people. You know, so I would love to know what the economists are saying

00:17:34.500 about this. Because wouldn't you like to know if it pays for itself? Meaning if you get this much,

00:17:42.280 this many people employed, they start buying things, the economy goes well, the places that

00:17:47.800 they bought stuff pay taxes. Does it pay for itself? I just wonder that. Now, it could be that we just

00:17:56.200 have to do it. You know, so it doesn't matter if it pays for itself. You just have to do it

00:18:00.400 because the country is crumbling otherwise. Have you driven on an American road recently?

00:18:08.180 I swear to God, I'm going to get like a Baja dune buggy or something just to drive around on

00:18:13.120 California roads because the whole time you're just... It's just potholes and cracks and bumps and

00:18:18.880 shit. So we certainly need some infrastructure, especially for the low-income people, if Wi-Fi is part 0.95

00:18:27.660 of this. Or 5G, I hope. I hope 5G is in here. Can somebody tell me if 5G infrastructure, or at

00:18:36.500 least Wi-Fi or something, it's in there, right? So I don't have an opinion on the infrastructure

00:18:41.580 plan. I'd want to see some economists tell me if this actually ends up being positive, because it

00:18:47.180 might. It has that quality. All right. There's a very disturbing story about YouTube

00:18:57.320 competitorlibrary.com. I think they pronounce it that way, but it's spelled L-B-R-Y. And they use

00:19:07.020 some kind of a blockchain token-based system to be a fully censorship-resistant platform.

00:19:17.820 And the government has decided that because of their Bitcoin-like token, that they're an

00:19:23.800 unregistered security, and they've been sued. So the SEC has sued this company for being an

00:19:30.960 unregistered security. Now, do you think this would happen if Google did not have a lot of money

00:19:41.220 and was the competitor to this? I mean, it might, I suppose. The SEC might just look at it and say,

00:19:47.360 hey, you know, these tokens are a problem. But don't you have to worry that Google has so much

00:19:54.780 money that they could influence somebody to take a look at a competitor? Like, you worry about that,

00:20:00.920 don't you? I feel they do have that clout. Now, should the SEC be closing down anything that's got a

00:20:08.520 Bitcoin-like token? Well, I, of course, am biased on this question, very biased. And I don't believe

00:20:17.300 they should if the company has gone through the due diligence lawyers, etc., to make sure that they're

00:20:23.320 on the right side of the law. Most of the companies that have any kind of a token did do that. They went

00:20:29.360 through a pretty expensive process. It's going to cost you tens of thousands of dollars to issue a token

00:20:36.060 if you want to make sure you've checked all the right boxes. I'm sure a library did that. You

00:20:42.480 know, chances are that they lawyered up the way they would, typically. So this is really chilling.

00:20:51.380 If the government can start closing down, you know, blockchain-related businesses because of the

00:20:58.880 token element of it, which isn't a lot of them, that's a pretty big problem. And

00:21:05.380 in many ways, blockchain is sort of the alternative to our government. You know, I mean, people who

00:21:12.860 don't follow blockchain, etc., just think it's like a crypto way to make some money. They don't realize

00:21:21.080 it could be, you know, transforming society because of the distributed power of it. It's a longer story.

00:21:29.020 But we've got to be really worried about this. And I don't know if that would have happened under

00:21:35.340 Trump. So that might be another Biden situation. All right, let's talk about the Matt Gaetz story,

00:21:41.780 the fun story of the day, fun for everybody except the Matt Gaetz family. And you know the story. The

00:21:48.720 story is that New York Times is saying that Matt Gaetz is under investigation for... No, actually,

00:21:56.200 I'm going to change the story. I'm going to say that the story is that Matt Gaetz is the subject of

00:22:04.440 an extortion plot. That should be the top story. Because there's two parts of the story.

00:22:10.760 There's an allegation that he was paying some kind of sex trafficking thing with a 17-year-old,

00:22:18.920 of which we have no evidence that she even exists, right? So there's no evidence that anything like

00:22:26.260 that happened that we've seen. Zero evidence. But Matt Gaetz did say that the allegations were

00:22:33.600 somehow connected to an extortion plot in which he actually named a lawyer a real person. He gave

00:22:42.300 his name on TV on the Tucker Carlson show and said, this lawyer has been trying to extort us.

00:22:49.620 My father wore a wire. And our plan to get him on tape extorting us was thwarted by this rather

00:22:57.400 coincidental leak about the New York Times or the New York Times leak about the investigation.

00:23:06.380 Is it a coincidence? Because Matt Gaetz says this can't be a coincidence that just when they were

00:23:12.700 going to get the actual recorded goods on this alleged guy who was blackmailing him or extorting,

00:23:21.820 I don't know if it's the same thing, extorting, I guess, that just before they were going to get the

00:23:26.880 evidence that would damn him forever, the New York Times broke the story, which made it impossible

00:23:32.560 to get that evidence. But there would be other witnesses. Apparently there would be multiple

00:23:40.200 witnesses, according to Matt Gaetz, that would back up his story that there was this extortion plot.

00:23:46.640 Now, what do we have evidence of? And what do we not have evidence of? We have evidence,

00:23:54.000 evidence, I would say, really highly credible evidence, because Matt Gaetz named an actual

00:24:01.460 person on TV. Now, is Matt Gaetz smart enough to know that you don't name somebody to be part of a

00:24:10.540 major crime, give their actual name, especially if that person is a lawyer who's part of a major law

00:24:18.060 firm. Would you slander somebody on TV who was a lawyer who was part of a law firm if you couldn't

00:24:28.680 back it up? Do you think so? I don't see any chance he would have said what he said unless he believes

00:24:38.220 it's true, right? Whether he can demonstrate that to us is, you know, to be seen. But I would say if

00:24:45.140 you're trying to score this and then predict, we'll put some odds on stuff, right? And what I'm

00:24:51.280 trying to do is just walk you through how you would look at this story and how you would guess

00:24:56.460 what's true and what's not. So, so far, I would say the odds of him having a legitimate complaint

00:25:02.860 about this extortion thing, having other witnesses that will back it up, and I think law enforcement

00:25:09.680 was involved. So, I mean, he's going to have really good sources, not just his family. There'll

00:25:14.780 be somebody from law enforcement that's going to back up his story, I think. So, I'm going to give

00:25:20.920 that credibility of 90%. 90%. So, I would say that what he's saying is probably almost certainly

00:25:30.320 true, if you were going to predict its likelihood. Now, let's say, what is the likelihood that before

00:25:37.800 he was engaged, because Matt Gaetz is engaged right now, but before that, it was fairly well

00:25:43.840 known that he was, let's say, an active single guy. And he was an active single guy who was good

00:25:51.740 looking, young, and on TV, and has power. How do you think he did dating? Pretty well, right?

00:26:02.660 Do you think he needed to pay for sex? In fact, in the entire United States, if you were to rank

00:26:11.960 people by how likely they had to pay for sex, he would be real near the bottom, right? Of all the

00:26:20.680 men in the world who needed to pay for sex, he would be at the bottom, right? That's just true. 0.92

00:26:28.320 So, what are the odds that he paid for sex?

00:26:36.640 If he were rich, if he were rich, you might say, well, you know, sometimes he pays for it,

00:26:42.060 it's just easier, or whatever. But he's not even rich, right? He's not even rich. So, the odds that

00:26:49.880 he would pay for something he could get in unlimited quantity for free seems low to me. It seems low.

00:26:57.320 So, I'm going to put the odds of that, I don't know, 5%, something like that. And only 5% in the

00:27:06.480 anything's possible category, not that there's any evidence for it. Number two, the woman involved 0.93

00:27:12.520 has not been named, and Matt Gaetz says he doesn't even know who they're talking about.

00:27:18.160 Do you think he traveled with somebody, paid her money, and can't even think who they're talking

00:27:23.920 about? What, did he travel with so many 17-year-olds, he's like, I don't know which even, I don't even

00:27:29.760 know which one they're talking about. No. It sounds pretty credible when he says, I don't even know

00:27:36.100 the name. I couldn't even tell you who they're talking about. She hasn't been named, right? Now,

00:27:42.980 you're saying that she was 17. I don't know if she's still 17. No, it was a while ago. Do you think

00:27:48.240 she's still 17? Somebody says, Lyle says, wait until Scott gets me-tooed. It's coming. I assume so.

00:27:58.720 I assume so. I assume people will come for me. So, we have no evidence whatsoever of the allegations

00:28:07.500 against Matt Gaetz. We have a pretty good, credible set of facts that he is being extorted.

00:28:16.000 Now, let's say this. Let's just walk through what we know. There are no charges filed, and apparently

00:28:26.980 this investigation has been happening since October. Do you think it would take that long to file

00:28:32.900 charges? I don't know. Unless it was part of some larger thing, but we don't have any evidence of that.

00:28:39.980 So, that's suspicious. Here's the other thing. When this sort of thing happens, how often is it limited

00:28:47.200 to one accuser? How often is a famous politician accused of some kind of anything in this sexual

00:28:56.600 impropriety range? In this case, only because of the age and the allegation money was involved.

00:29:02.760 But how many times does that end with there was just one person accusing? It's always the third one

00:29:09.580 that gets you. Like Cuomo, right? It's never the first one. Because the first one, everybody goes,

00:29:15.580 maybe, maybe not. You know, a certain age, he's only had one accuser. But by the time you get to the

00:29:23.200 third one, you go, oh God, there's a pattern. Right? It's always the third one. It doesn't matter

00:29:30.100 if it's Bill Clinton. It doesn't matter who it is. But we've had no third one, no second one.

00:29:37.300 So, the longer you go without other people coming forward and saying, oh, you know, the same thing

00:29:43.280 happened to me, the credibility keeps going down. All right? And there are no witnesses that we know

00:29:52.300 of. So, although it makes sense that maybe the 17-year-old, if she's still 17, might not be named,

00:29:59.540 would there not be one witness somewhere? No witness that we've heard of? Not to say they don't exist,

00:30:08.940 but I feel like we would have heard of one witness, or even that a witness exists. So,

00:30:16.160 the lack of evidence here is sort of shocking. All right, so what do we know about Matt Gaetz? We

00:30:23.980 know that he is probably one of the most anti-war Republicans. Would you say that's fair? He is one 1.00

00:30:32.280 of the most anti-war Republicans, which would make some enemies, wouldn't it? Now, would that make you

00:30:40.720 an enemy of China? Do you think China could be behind this in any way? I don't think so, because I

00:30:48.280 think China prefers people who don't like war in the United States. How about Russia? Would Russia be

00:30:56.300 trying to take him out? I don't think so, because they would like also the United States to have

00:31:02.700 somebody who doesn't like war. So, it wouldn't be China or Russia. So, if there were any foreign

00:31:12.020 influence, you know, any foreign interference, you'd have to look for somebody who did not want the

00:31:19.400 United States to be too anti-war, right? Now, that could be people within the United States who have

00:31:26.480 an interest in, you know, the industrial war machine, but you always have to worry about foreign 0.66

00:31:33.780 influence. So, you'd have to be looking for some kind of a country that wanted the United States not to

00:31:40.220 be anti-war. How about Iran? Iran. Do you think Iran would not want an anti-war president? I think they'd

00:31:52.160 want us to have an anti-war president, because Matt Gaetz is often, you know, he's mentioned in the short

00:31:58.180 list of people who could be a presidential candidate. So, probably not Iran, probably not China, probably not

00:32:06.340 Russia. And we don't have any evidence that there's any external anything here, right? So, there's no

00:32:11.620 evidence of another country. But let's see what else we know. Here's a coincidence. There's a major Epstein

00:32:20.260 story that's breaking today about a new accuser and some terrible allegations. Now, it's kind of

00:32:27.060 interesting, because the Epstein story has been around for a while, you know? The Epstein story has been

00:32:32.640 around for a while. So, every now and then, it pops up. But it's kind of interesting that the Epstein

00:32:40.020 story popped up the same day that these allegations about Gaetz are in the news. What's that do to your

00:32:48.000 brain? Well, you can look at social media, and you can see exactly what it does to your brain.

00:32:53.720 It conflated them. Suddenly, because these two stories that don't have anything to do with each other

00:33:00.060 are just in your mind at the same time, what's that make you think a little bit of Matt Gaetz,

00:33:05.320 right? Suddenly, you've got, ooh, Epstein, this is all true, right? We know the Epstein stuff is true.

00:33:13.980 Nobody's doubting that it's true. And we know it's awful, and we know it has underage, teenage

00:33:19.640 girls in it, right? Now, suddenly, it's in the news in the same day. Could it be? Well, somebody says

00:33:29.920 it's related, but I don't think there's any suggestion that the stories are related. But they're related in

00:33:35.640 your brain, aren't they? Now, if somebody had, say, decided that it was a good thing for this story to be

00:33:43.660 in the news at the same time, because it would be bad for Matt Gaetz, you'd have to wonder who could

00:33:50.880 have that kind of influence over the news. Well, Democrats. Democrats could have that kind of

00:33:58.060 influence over the news. And Democrats could say, you know, let's put this story out at the same time,

00:34:04.660 because this is going to be really good to have them out there at the same time.

00:34:07.480 Yeah, Democrats. Now, that's if it's domestic. So, I would say that there's going to be more,

00:34:24.380 there will be layers to this story. At the moment, the information we have would suggest to me that

00:34:32.560 the story is not real, and that there might be some forces behind this that we are yet to learn

00:34:44.240 of. So, that's what it looks like. Now, let's test our prediction skills. So, I'm going to go on record

00:34:53.000 as saying that my prediction is that the extortion against Matt Gaetz will be demonstrated, and the

00:35:00.140 allegations against him will not hold up in time. That's my prediction. Let's see your predictions.

00:35:07.700 Give me your predictions on both. Will the extortion thing turn out to be true?

00:35:13.700 And or will the allegation about the 17-year-old turn out to be true? Give me your predictions.

00:35:23.820 You're all agreeing with me? That's not supposed to happen.

00:35:26.920 I'm saying no's, but I don't know what the no means. I'm seeing people agreeing,

00:35:34.140 but the no's, you need to be more specific.

00:35:40.480 The people say no. I'm not sure what the no is for.

00:35:45.260 Somebody says, yeah, Nestor is sort of his adopted son, if you'll call him that. Nestor seems part of

00:35:55.720 the story because he's young, but I don't think he's part of the story.

00:36:01.800 Interesting. Interesting. When was the last time you saw so many people not believe an allegation?

00:36:09.340 I can't think of another time. Generally, when there's an allegation, don't you,

00:36:13.820 even if it's your guy or you're not guy,

00:36:17.780 don't you feel that whenever there's an allegation, you think to yourself,

00:36:23.880 probably, probably true, right? The Kavanaugh thing really changed everything, didn't it?

00:36:30.260 And yeah, I think the Kavanaugh thing just opened our brains to the fact that these can be made up.

00:36:36.020 And I think most of you are being pretty non-critical about this.

00:36:43.100 Now, there is a big risk in this Gates story, whoever is trying to take him out,

00:36:48.460 and the big risk is it's going to make him president.

00:36:52.700 If this thing falls apart the way it looks like it's going to fall apart,

00:36:56.660 you're going to have to ask yourself why they want Matt Gates out of the picture.

00:37:01.500 Do you remember the story? We saw some documents that showed that the Democrats,

00:37:07.020 and I think Hillary was part of the story,

00:37:09.380 were intentionally trying to get the news to promote Trump or Ted Cruz as the nominee

00:37:16.260 because they figured that they would be the easiest to beat.

00:37:20.280 So we already know that the Democrats have colluded with the news industry

00:37:25.700 to try to manipulate who is the Republican candidate.

00:37:31.500 It kind of looks like that, doesn't it?

00:37:33.860 Doesn't it look like the Democrats, at least, if it's domestic,

00:37:39.020 doesn't it look like the Democrats are colluding with the media?

00:37:44.540 I mean, it looks exactly like it.

00:37:46.400 We can't say that's happening, but we know it did happen,

00:37:50.780 and we know it could still happen

00:37:52.760 because nothing would stop anybody from talking to anybody, right?

00:37:56.640 There's nothing that would stop it from happening again,

00:37:58.560 and why wouldn't they do it again?

00:38:00.920 What would be any reason not to do it again?

00:38:04.680 So, here's what you have to look for.

00:38:08.080 Whoever the Democrats slash news business is trying to take out

00:38:13.040 is the one they fear the most.

00:38:16.460 Whoever is getting surprisingly a lot of attention

00:38:21.040 may be who they fear the least.

00:38:24.700 So watch out for the media telling you that, you know,

00:38:29.500 the strong candidates for a Republican presidency,

00:38:33.280 that they're having some scandals.

00:38:36.120 Because I think everybody who's strong is going to have a scandal.

00:38:39.660 Let me make a prediction.

00:38:42.640 If you look at other strong Republican candidates,

00:38:45.900 who is on the list?

00:38:47.720 Well, Ted Cruz, right?

00:38:49.420 He would be right at the top of the list

00:38:50.980 of potential presidential candidates.

00:38:52.800 How is he doing lately?

00:38:55.740 You see, the media is totally, totally ganging up on Ted Cruz, right?

00:39:00.300 You can watch it yourself.

00:39:02.080 So it's obvious that the media has Cruz in their sights.

00:39:07.280 DeSantis.

00:39:08.320 Now, DeSantis is looking really strong.

00:39:12.800 And I have to say, if you had asked me just even a few months ago,

00:39:16.960 you know, could DeSantis be, you know, the candidate for president,

00:39:19.860 I would have said, no, I just don't think he has the vibe.

00:39:24.960 There's something that looks a little bit more state government about him.

00:39:32.860 Do you know what I mean?

00:39:34.180 It feels like maybe governor was like his maximum.

00:39:39.540 You know, he hit his potential and he's a good governor.

00:39:42.420 Well, lately, lately, I would say his handling of the coronavirus is sort of,

00:39:52.300 he's like starting to elevate.

00:39:55.440 And I would say that my own opinion of him as a presidential candidate has changed.

00:40:01.780 Has changed from, eh, not too exciting,

00:40:04.720 to, huh, this guy is making some gutsy calls.

00:40:08.400 And you kind of want, you want a president who can make a gutsy call, right?

00:40:14.600 You want a governor who maybe plays it safe.

00:40:18.100 But when you're talking about a president,

00:40:20.340 you need somebody who can violate some expectations.

00:40:24.060 And he just did that with it.

00:40:25.680 The vaccine passport, just perfect example. 1.00

00:40:28.740 No matter what you think of the passport, which is a separate question,

00:40:32.580 the fact that he just said, you know, screw this, you're not doing it in my state,

00:40:38.340 that's presidential.

00:40:40.260 That's presidential.

00:40:42.180 So I think he elevated on that.

00:40:45.060 So I would expect to see some rumors about him.

00:40:48.640 I would expect to see the media try to take out Tom Cotton.

00:40:53.180 I think Tom Cotton's looking strong.

00:40:55.680 I think the media's going to try to take him out.

00:40:58.220 So look for some kind of story about him coming up.

00:41:02.580 All right.

00:41:05.100 Name a major problem in the U.S. that is not caused by China.

00:41:10.720 All right.

00:41:12.420 You've got the pandemic.

00:41:14.440 China.

00:41:15.840 You've got the economic devastation of the pandemic.

00:41:20.440 China.

00:41:21.480 You've got the story about the vaccination passports.

00:41:26.500 China.

00:41:28.900 You've got the fentanyl coming across the border.

00:41:33.580 China.

00:41:35.100 You've got the economic destruction of the U.S. middle class for the last 30 years.

00:41:43.260 China.

00:41:45.720 You've got racial unrest in America.

00:41:48.600 Now, you're saying to yourself, Scott, what do they have to do with that?

00:41:51.540 Do you think that the racial unrest in America is just happening on its own?

00:41:58.060 Do you think that we're talking about violence against Asian Americans because that just happens to be what's happening and it's important and it's a top topic? 0.98

00:42:09.320 That's why we're talking about it?

00:42:11.740 No.

00:42:12.280 Well, we're talking about it because somebody wants us to talk about it.

00:42:17.860 Now, I'm not minimizing the problem.

00:42:21.680 Let me say this as clearly as possible.

00:42:23.460 We don't want any violence against Asian Americans or any Americans, right?

00:42:28.880 And especially when you put an ethnicity on it, it's worse than even regular violence. 0.94

00:42:33.620 So we all agree on that.

00:42:34.780 We don't want any of it.

00:42:35.880 But, you know, zero is the right amount.

00:42:39.120 But there are a lot of problems in this country.

00:42:43.520 And the headlines are, you know, maybe 20 different things will be in the headlines at any given time.

00:42:49.040 But we have, you know, a hundred problems that are pretty big.

00:42:53.600 Who decides which ones are in the headlines?

00:42:55.680 Well, there are smart people who I won't name who would tell you that China already controls our headlines through artificial intelligence.

00:43:12.000 Do they?

00:43:13.240 Now, I don't think that China controls all of our headlines.

00:43:16.880 I think that every country, every foreign country, tries to control just specific headlines.

00:43:22.120 So would China use, let's say, TikTok to create enough energy on TikTok about Asian American violence and discrimination that TikTok would bleed over to Snapchat?

00:43:40.180 Because those two are highly correlated.

00:43:42.680 You know, the young people on TikTok are also on Snapchat.

00:43:46.360 So anything that becomes big on TikTok, owned by China, becomes presumably big on Snapchat.

00:43:55.060 And from there, presumably, it would infect the rest of social media.

00:43:59.580 So do you think that the reason we're talking about this Asian American violence, which, again, important, I'm not minimizing it, 0.86

00:44:08.920 do you think we're talking about it because we decided it's our headline this week?

00:44:13.360 Maybe, but I think the smarter position is that China made that our headline.

00:44:22.580 I think they have that ability, right?

00:44:24.920 And there are smart people who tell me that this is certain, that they do have that ability and they are using it.

00:44:32.440 That doesn't make it true.

00:44:34.020 I'm just saying that smart people have told me that.

00:44:37.220 How about our taxes being so high?

00:44:40.600 Do you think we'd have as big a military budget if not for China, and China being adventurous?

00:44:48.640 If China were not militarily, let's say, flexing, would our military budget need to be as big as it is?

00:44:57.160 Let's say Russia was our only risk we were worrying about, and terrorism, I guess. 0.93

00:45:02.800 I would say that China costs us a lot of money in military preparation.

00:45:07.280 What about North Korea?

00:45:09.080 Of course, China could fix that, doesn't want to for some reason. 0.99

00:45:13.640 So it's kind of amazing how many of our total problems in this country are directly or indirectly from China. 0.99

00:45:21.700 But we don't talk about it that way.

00:45:24.300 We just don't talk about it.

00:45:25.880 And we're even worried about Biden having a little too cozy with China.

00:45:31.800 So China is basically all of our problems, you know, because we don't have any problems that wouldn't be better if we had, you know, freed up more money from our budget, if we weren't dying of fentanyl, if we weren't in a pandemic.

00:45:47.340 Almost all of our other problems would be less of a problem if we could concentrate on them instead of trying to continually fix problems from China. 0.99

00:45:55.920 So here's a question for you.

00:45:58.120 See if you can figure this out.

00:46:00.180 Does China have any control over the teachers' unions?

00:46:03.960 I mean, I don't know of any.

00:46:05.880 But if they wanted to destroy America, they would probably make sure that the teachers' unions were good and strong, because that's the best way to do it.

00:46:13.580 That's the current situation.

00:46:14.720 So if anybody has any information that any teachers' unions are influenced by China, let me know that, because it seems like an obvious play. 1.00

00:46:25.740 If I were them, that's what I'd do.

00:46:29.700 Rasmussen reports that 62% of the, I think, likely voters is usually who they talk to,

00:46:38.280 but 62% of who they interviewed were in favor of more market competition to lower health care costs.

00:46:48.220 And, of course, it breaks down the way you'd imagine.

00:46:51.020 78% of the Republicans want more market competition and 45% of Democrats.

00:46:57.520 So here's the question I ask.

00:46:59.560 Remember I told you that no matter what the question, 0.99

00:47:02.620 about 25% of the public will just do whatever is the stupidest thing? 1.00

00:47:06.240 We have a solid 25% stupidity problem in this country, 1.00

00:47:12.600 although I'm not sure it's the same people on every poll, 1.00

00:47:15.580 but it's just always about 25%.

00:47:17.660 In this case, you know, 22% of Republicans are not in favor of more market competition.

00:47:26.180 What?

00:47:27.820 How in the world,

00:47:29.080 how in the world are 22% of Republicans opposed to market competition

00:47:36.260 that would improve health care and lower costs?

00:47:40.340 Really?

00:47:41.780 How in the world do you find those people?

00:47:44.740 Show me the Republican who's not in favor of greater market competition

00:47:49.000 to lower their expenses.

00:47:52.360 I don't even feel that's like a political issue. 1.00

00:47:55.100 That's sort of just a stupid problem, isn't it? 0.99

00:47:58.600 But then you go to the Democrats, 1.00

00:48:00.360 and apparently, you know,

00:48:02.880 there are as many or slightly more Democrats

00:48:05.180 who are in favor of more competition, too.

00:48:08.020 So if you've got, you know,

00:48:09.540 the vast majority of the GOP

00:48:11.320 and about half of the Democrats

00:48:13.280 are in favor of greater market competition

00:48:15.780 to lower health care costs,

00:48:17.960 Trump really blew this, didn't he?

00:48:20.180 Because market competition was sort of Trump's, you know, approach.

00:48:28.160 He could have sold the hell out of this.

00:48:30.660 And I always thought he should have sort of packaged up

00:48:33.280 all of the individual policies he was doing,

00:48:36.940 things about, let's say,

00:48:39.760 allowing doctors to do telemarketing across borders.

00:48:43.940 That creates market competition.

00:48:45.780 The stuff he did with prescriptions,

00:48:49.700 created market competition, etc.

00:48:51.860 And I think what Trump did was

00:48:54.340 he really could have packaged this up

00:48:57.240 and sold it to half of the Democrats

00:48:59.480 and most of the GOP.

00:49:01.960 And he didn't do it.

00:49:02.840 I think it cost him the election in some ways.

00:49:05.480 You know, people think it was the pandemic.

00:49:08.020 Maybe it was.

00:49:08.920 But health care was probably number two.

00:49:10.340 So when I tweeted about the Amish 0.99

00:49:15.940 and their herd immunity,

00:49:18.080 I created accidentally the two-movie situation.

00:49:23.600 I didn't know I was going to do this.

00:49:25.640 And I'll read the tweet,

00:49:28.040 and then you tell me how you took it,

00:49:30.200 because it's being interpreted two different ways.

00:49:33.120 All right, here's the tweet.

00:49:34.280 Given that the Amish, 1.00

00:49:35.500 and it turns out it was just one group of Amish,

00:49:38.140 it wasn't all Amish,

00:49:39.200 but that one group of Amish

00:49:41.380 are at 90% herd immunity.

00:49:43.620 I guess we know that,

00:49:45.060 as recently reported.

00:49:46.980 And they weren't using masks

00:49:48.740 for social distancing.

00:49:50.460 Does that confirm to you

00:49:52.160 that masks and or social distancing work?

00:49:56.200 Now, when I wrote it,

00:49:58.060 of course, this is not a, you know,

00:50:00.220 randomized controlled test,

00:50:01.800 so, you know, you can't take it too seriously.

00:50:05.420 But when I wrote it,

00:50:06.520 I thought people would say,

00:50:07.460 oh, well, the masking and social distancing

00:50:10.700 must make a difference,

00:50:11.940 because the one group we know

00:50:14.420 that decided not to do it

00:50:16.700 got 90% infected.

00:50:19.740 So doesn't that prove to you

00:50:21.440 that masks and social distancing,

00:50:24.480 or maybe just one or the other,

00:50:26.600 was working in the sense that

00:50:29.220 it was preventing them

00:50:30.660 from getting infections so quickly,

00:50:32.800 and then the moment they dropped them,

00:50:35.180 the friction went away

00:50:36.300 and they reached 90% herd immunity.

00:50:39.480 Now, that's how I thought

00:50:41.300 you were going to interpret it.

00:50:43.040 But it turns out

00:50:43.920 a lot of conservatives

00:50:44.960 interpreted it the other way.

00:50:47.380 And the other way,

00:50:49.060 somebody says it proves nothing.

00:50:51.280 It doesn't prove it,

00:50:52.860 because it's not a randomized

00:50:54.240 controlled trial

00:50:56.380 that's been reproduced, right?

00:50:57.960 So that's what I would call proof.

00:50:59.840 So yes, you're right.

00:51:00.900 It doesn't prove anything.

00:51:02.900 But because you can't do

00:51:04.260 a randomized controlled test

00:51:05.740 in a pandemic,

00:51:07.100 because it wouldn't be ethical,

00:51:08.700 the only natural experiment we have

00:51:11.200 is the people who volunteered

00:51:12.540 to not wear the masks

00:51:14.380 and social distancing.

00:51:15.580 And I don't know

00:51:16.080 if there's any other group

00:51:16.980 that did that.

00:51:18.480 So it's all we have.

00:51:19.560 It just isn't 100% reliable, obviously.

00:51:22.780 But conservatives interpreted it

00:51:24.300 this a different way,

00:51:25.560 that it was a huge success,

00:51:27.260 and that masks

00:51:28.120 and social distancing

00:51:29.320 don't work.

00:51:30.900 But when they interpreted working,

00:51:34.280 what does it mean to work?

00:51:36.060 They interpreted that differently,

00:51:38.360 meaning that the masks

00:51:40.660 and the social distancing

00:51:41.740 were actually preventing them

00:51:43.860 from getting to this good point,

00:51:47.480 herd immunity.

00:51:49.060 So the conservatives

00:51:51.040 looked at the same tweet

00:51:52.200 and said,

00:51:52.940 obviously those things didn't work,

00:51:55.380 because as soon as they got rid of them,

00:51:57.760 everything was good.

00:51:58.680 They went to herd immunity,

00:52:00.380 and now at least for them

00:52:02.160 it's not a problem.

00:52:03.700 But they did have extra deaths.

00:52:06.400 We don't know how many long haulers

00:52:08.440 they have and if it matters.

00:52:10.560 We believe that they have less obesity,

00:52:14.940 so maybe it's not as much of a problem.

00:52:17.560 But it was interesting

00:52:18.640 that the two movies

00:52:19.780 were triggered by this one tweet.

00:52:23.500 But I think that even the conservatives

00:52:26.460 who answered that

00:52:27.740 and said it was a good thing

00:52:29.580 that they got to herd immunity,

00:52:31.100 I'm not saying it,

00:52:32.140 but people did.

00:52:33.360 I don't know if it's good or bad,

00:52:35.340 so I just don't have an opinion on it yet.

00:52:40.080 But anyway,

00:52:42.700 I thought that was interesting.

00:52:43.660 So,

00:52:46.740 masks causing other illnesses,

00:52:50.920 I haven't heard much about that.

00:52:55.000 Herd mentality, 0.99

00:52:56.780 just looking at your comments for a while.

00:52:58.740 All right,

00:52:59.040 those of you on Periscope,

00:53:00.320 this is our last day.

00:53:02.800 Tomorrow,

00:53:03.820 I will be on YouTube.

00:53:05.880 Just Google

00:53:06.580 Real Coffee with Scott Adams

00:53:08.000 within YouTube,

00:53:09.040 or probably you could Google it.

00:53:10.880 And follow me there.

00:53:12.480 It'll be live,

00:53:13.260 just like it is live,

00:53:14.640 on Periscope,

00:53:15.760 with comments and all that.

00:53:17.560 You'll like it.

00:53:19.080 All right.

00:53:20.320 I would also,

00:53:21.900 I would also

00:53:25.040 like to thank

00:53:27.920 all my Periscope users.

00:53:30.900 You've,

00:53:31.900 YouTube,

00:53:32.940 if you don't mind,

00:53:33.940 I'm just going to

00:53:35.060 talk to the Periscope users

00:53:36.320 for a moment.

00:53:37.460 You can listen in.

00:53:38.620 You may remember

00:53:41.620 the first day

00:53:42.480 I Periscoped.

00:53:43.400 It was during the

00:53:44.440 2016 cycle.

00:53:46.940 And I was standing

00:53:47.480 in my kitchen

00:53:48.140 and I picked up my phone

00:53:49.680 and thought,

00:53:50.540 hey,

00:53:50.720 I wonder how this thing

00:53:51.740 called Periscope works.

00:53:53.160 And pushed a few buttons

00:53:54.260 and held up my phone.

00:53:56.120 And the next thing I know,

00:53:57.980 12 people around the world

00:53:59.520 were watching me.

00:54:01.000 And I thought,

00:54:01.820 well,

00:54:01.960 that's cool.

00:54:03.160 12 people watched me.

00:54:04.500 The next day,

00:54:05.940 20

00:54:06.400 and 100.

00:54:09.700 Now thousands.

00:54:11.820 And the live stream,

00:54:13.840 I think on a typical live stream,

00:54:16.420 I'll get 50,000 to 100,000 viewers.

00:54:20.700 And I think it's become

00:54:21.980 fairly influential.

00:54:24.140 You're,

00:54:24.880 I think you're aware

00:54:25.920 that a number of people

00:54:27.080 in the administration,

00:54:28.420 last administration,

00:54:29.540 would watch this live stream.

00:54:31.500 And I think that we added a lot.

00:54:33.280 And I think that

00:54:33.940 I'd like to think

00:54:35.140 that I was helpful

00:54:36.060 during the pandemic.

00:54:37.700 At least I tried to be.

00:54:39.500 So,

00:54:40.180 I can't tell you

00:54:41.340 how much I appreciate you.

00:54:43.020 Because you wouldn't believe it.

00:54:45.480 It's a lot.

00:54:46.900 And I hope that you do

00:54:48.120 come over to YouTube.

00:54:49.560 But you have my

00:54:50.940 everlasting

00:54:51.560 appreciation

00:54:52.900 YouTubers. 0.92

00:54:54.280 I'm sorry,

00:54:54.960 Periscopers. 0.99

00:54:55.700 And thank you for that.

00:54:57.120 And I bid you

00:54:58.160 goodbye.

00:54:58.920 Goodbye.

00:54:59.000 So,

00:55:03.240 it's a new era.

00:55:06.480 Here we are.

00:55:08.160 Periscope is over.

00:55:09.500 YouTube is rising.

00:55:10.800 I'll probably do

00:55:11.400 a rumble at some point.

00:55:12.940 I'll let you know about that.

00:55:15.960 Somebody's saying

00:55:16.760 that Matt Gaetz story

00:55:18.060 was used

00:55:18.780 to

00:55:19.520 eviscerate

00:55:20.840 the

00:55:21.180 border story.

00:55:23.020 I don't know.

00:55:24.400 Maybe.

00:55:25.960 Will Dominion

00:55:26.960 be naming me

00:55:27.740 in a lawsuit?

00:55:29.000 I don't think

00:55:29.460 they would have

00:55:29.840 any reason to.

00:55:31.000 Because I've never

00:55:31.940 blamed Dominion

00:55:33.000 of anything.

00:55:33.840 I've made statements

00:55:35.080 about where

00:55:36.200 electronic voting

00:55:37.880 has to end up.

00:55:40.000 And eventually

00:55:40.640 it has to end up

00:55:41.500 captured by

00:55:42.220 an intelligence agency

00:55:43.800 of one country

00:55:44.700 or another.

00:55:45.620 So,

00:55:46.240 it has to go there.

00:55:47.820 We just don't know

00:55:48.700 if it has.

00:55:49.320 and I have no reason

00:55:50.180 and I have no

00:55:50.820 specific information

00:55:51.820 to allege that.

00:55:55.820 Is Black Lives Matter

00:55:57.180 a Chinese entity?

00:55:58.560 Not a Chinese entity, 0.99

00:56:00.640 but you have to think

00:56:01.900 that China 0.93

00:56:02.680 is boosting

00:56:03.420 that story.

00:56:04.080 All right.

00:56:08.660 I've got to

00:56:09.260 go talk

00:56:10.340 for the next

00:56:10.940 four hours

00:56:11.700 on a video.

00:56:13.020 I'm sorry,

00:56:13.740 for an audio book.

00:56:15.200 So I'm going to

00:56:16.240 sign off now

00:56:17.060 and I will

00:56:17.960 talk to you

00:56:19.340 later.

00:56:20.020 Thank you.
