Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1352 Scott Adams： Chauvin Verdict and What it Means About America

00:00:00.000 All right. It's time. Come on in. Come on in.

00:00:06.680 It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:10.220 And can you make a guess what we'll be talking about today?

00:00:14.040 I think you can. I think you can.

00:00:16.420 And if you'd like to enjoy it, I mean really, really enjoy it,

00:00:20.920 like better than you've ever enjoyed Coffee with Scott Adams,

00:00:24.700 well, all you need is a cup of mug or a glass, a tanker,

00:00:27.800 a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:32.100 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:35.460 You might like racism, but don't drink that. No, never.

00:00:40.080 Drink a delicious beverage, a beverage instead.

00:00:45.320 And I'd like you to join me now for the simultaneous sip. Go.

00:00:51.940 Oh, that was a simultaneous gulp.

00:00:54.280 Yeah, a little bit extra. A little bit extra.

00:01:00.200 Well, everything in the world is backwards and upside down today.

00:01:07.640 Have you noticed that nothing seems to be right today?

00:01:13.320 Everything's just a little bit off.

00:01:15.860 And you don't notice it until you see all the examples,

00:01:18.700 but I'll give you some as we go.

00:01:20.020 So I'd like to start out with a big damn you, damn you 1.00

00:01:26.440 to Andres Beckhaus, who I talk about often

00:01:31.060 because he's great on data analysis

00:01:33.920 for any of the stuff in the news.

00:01:36.440 But he made me retweet Aaron Rupar's tweet,

00:01:41.280 and I can't forgive him for that.

00:01:42.980 But it's the first time I've unironically retweeted him, I think.

00:01:50.360 But if you don't know who Aaron Rupar is,

00:01:54.200 he's a character who's, let's say, interesting.

00:01:58.100 We'll just keep it at that.

00:01:59.900 But normally I would not agree with his tweets,

00:02:03.160 but here he was responding to Nancy Pelosi's speech

00:02:11.120 after the Chauvin-Floyd verdict.

00:02:15.400 And Nancy Pelosi managed to reach into this big basket 1.00

00:02:22.680 of things that you could say

00:02:24.380 and managed to pull out the only thing that was wrong.

00:02:28.120 Like, you could have gone in a hundred different directions

00:02:31.420 and not messed this up as badly as she did

00:02:34.860 to the point where Aaron Rupar is retweeting you

00:02:37.560 with condemnation.

00:02:40.400 She said,

00:02:41.860 thank you, George Floyd, for giving your life for...

00:02:47.800 I'm not even going to finish it.

00:02:49.500 But let's just say,

00:02:51.260 in the history of politicians saying dumb shit,

00:02:56.940 this was notable.

00:03:00.160 Like, even her own side had to...

00:03:01.560 Well, we're out.

00:03:05.240 If you're Nancy Pelosi

00:03:07.620 and Aaron Rupar is listening to you

00:03:10.360 and the first thing he says,

00:03:11.480 I'm out.

00:03:12.460 I'm out.

00:03:13.220 I don't want any part of this.

00:03:16.140 You've really gone off.

00:03:18.240 You've gone too far.

00:03:19.380 In other news,

00:03:26.340 there's a Norfolk police lieutenant

00:03:30.240 who was fired

00:03:31.240 because it was leaked

00:03:33.320 that he donated some money

00:03:35.000 to Kyle Rittenhouse's defense

00:03:36.640 and gave him some words of encouragement.

00:03:39.760 He got fired for that.

00:03:42.420 He got fired for an opinion

00:03:44.440 that was backed by the video

00:03:48.260 for a person who is presumed innocent

00:03:52.500 until proven guilty

00:03:53.520 and he got fired for it.

00:03:58.080 So that's the Norfolk police department for you.

00:04:02.000 That's pretty pathetic.

00:04:05.120 Now, here's the good news.

00:04:06.780 If you are, let's say,

00:04:09.660 a police union

00:04:11.360 and your contracts come up,

00:04:14.820 I'm assuming the union 0.76

00:04:15.920 does the negotiating

00:04:16.940 for the police contracts,

00:04:18.780 what would you ask for

00:04:20.460 in terms of a raise

00:04:21.640 this coming round?

00:04:25.000 I feel like 30%

00:04:26.380 would be the right number.

00:04:28.920 Right?

00:04:29.240 That doesn't mean

00:04:29.840 they'll be able to get it

00:04:30.680 because there are lots of forces

00:04:32.080 pushing back.

00:04:33.280 But I would say

00:04:33.960 that the police unions

00:04:35.220 have a rock-solid argument

00:04:36.920 that the environment of risk

00:04:39.480 has changed so substantially

00:04:41.420 that the risk-reward of their job

00:04:44.540 can't be looked at the same anymore.

00:04:46.840 And that on top of the physical violence risk,

00:04:50.320 which was always extreme,

00:04:52.340 which is why we have

00:04:53.280 so much respect for the police,

00:04:55.320 they're doing stuff

00:04:56.120 you and I don't want to do

00:04:57.140 for the most part.

00:04:59.960 But I would say

00:05:00.880 that given now

00:05:02.060 the legal and social risk

00:05:04.340 on top of the violence risk,

00:05:06.940 it looks different now.

00:05:08.600 I would say

00:05:09.360 I would back the cops

00:05:10.660 for a 30% raise minimum.

00:05:14.300 And that's just based on

00:05:15.780 how society has changed

00:05:17.340 the risk

00:05:18.600 that we're willing

00:05:19.580 to put on the police.

00:05:21.020 Now, I would say

00:05:21.920 that before,

00:05:22.620 you could argue,

00:05:23.440 but wait,

00:05:23.940 we should put this risk

00:05:25.420 on the police.

00:05:26.500 That's not even the argument.

00:05:28.560 So whether you think

00:05:29.760 that the Floyd trial

00:05:31.480 went just the way

00:05:32.640 it should have

00:05:33.220 or you don't,

00:05:34.620 irrelevant.

00:05:35.920 It doesn't matter

00:05:36.600 any of that.

00:05:37.940 To my point,

00:05:38.820 that the police

00:05:39.460 are in a new situation

00:05:41.500 of risk.

00:05:42.780 Whether they should be there

00:05:44.260 or not

00:05:44.800 is a separate question.

00:05:46.440 But they are there

00:05:47.260 and it's different

00:05:48.680 and it's more.

00:05:51.520 Risk reward,

00:05:52.660 risk reward

00:05:53.800 suggests that police

00:05:54.900 should get,

00:05:56.040 I would say,

00:05:56.500 a minimum of 30% raise

00:05:58.280 because I don't know

00:05:58.920 how you could retain them

00:06:00.020 otherwise.

00:06:00.400 the thing

00:06:02.080 they signed up for

00:06:03.080 just doesn't exist.

00:06:05.560 Because the thing

00:06:06.280 they signed up for

00:06:07.160 is if it was a gray area,

00:06:08.940 they were probably

00:06:10.280 going to get away with it.

00:06:12.280 Right?

00:06:12.880 When I say get away with it,

00:06:14.080 I don't mean that they

00:06:14.700 necessarily did something wrong.

00:06:16.680 I just mean that

00:06:17.540 if it's a gray area

00:06:18.700 and they were trying

00:06:20.240 to do their job,

00:06:21.320 they probably would have

00:06:22.140 gotten away with it

00:06:22.840 in the past.

00:06:23.960 And I guess I'm

00:06:24.660 biasing the,

00:06:26.280 biasing by saying

00:06:27.240 getting away with it

00:06:28.200 because maybe there was

00:06:29.280 nothing to get away with.

00:06:32.500 But 30% pay raise

00:06:34.020 for police,

00:06:34.760 I think that is called for.

00:06:36.240 So I would overfund

00:06:37.520 the police

00:06:38.020 based on this new situation.

00:06:40.180 So whoever wanted

00:06:41.000 to defund the police,

00:06:42.560 probably this moved

00:06:44.040 in the wrong direction.

00:06:46.200 And by the way,

00:06:47.340 there's no economist

00:06:48.360 who would disagree with me.

00:06:50.560 Right?

00:06:51.560 It's the same job

00:06:52.960 except way extra risk.

00:06:55.640 You have to pay extra

00:06:56.700 for that.

00:06:57.180 That's how it works.

00:06:59.940 So if defunding the police

00:07:01.840 is what anybody wanted,

00:07:03.340 I'm pretty sure

00:07:04.160 this should work

00:07:04.920 the other way

00:07:05.540 if economics works

00:07:07.120 the way it's supposed to.

00:07:09.960 The Nextdoor app,

00:07:11.800 I hear,

00:07:12.520 has a new feature

00:07:13.280 that will tell you

00:07:13.980 if you're being racist

00:07:14.880 before you send

00:07:16.480 your message.

00:07:18.540 What do you think of that?

00:07:20.860 What do you think

00:07:21.620 of the Nextdoor app

00:07:22.760 before you send

00:07:23.600 that little message

00:07:24.320 to the neighbors?

00:07:24.980 Apparently it's got

00:07:26.580 some artificial intelligence

00:07:27.820 built in

00:07:28.440 that's just looking

00:07:29.620 for keywords

00:07:30.400 such as

00:07:31.920 Blue Lives Matter.

00:07:33.920 It'll flag that.

00:07:34.920 That's actually

00:07:35.280 one of the examples.

00:07:36.560 It'll flag it to say,

00:07:37.580 you know,

00:07:38.640 some people would take

00:07:40.000 Blue Lives Matter

00:07:41.020 as a racist statement.

00:07:42.640 Are you sure

00:07:43.120 you want to send it?

00:07:44.020 It'll still let you send it.

00:07:46.020 Or All Lives Matter.

00:07:47.580 If you type

00:07:49.200 All Lives Matter

00:07:50.000 into the app,

00:07:51.060 it'll stop you

00:07:51.780 and say,

00:07:52.160 you know what's

00:07:53.540 going on here, right?

00:07:55.080 It's going to look

00:07:55.680 a little racist.

00:07:56.700 Think twice.

00:07:57.940 What do you think

00:07:58.560 about that?

00:08:01.180 Are you up for that?

00:08:03.020 Are you down for that?

00:08:05.380 I have mixed opinions.

00:08:08.580 I usually violate

00:08:10.280 the common thinking

00:08:12.000 whenever information

00:08:13.840 is presented

00:08:15.620 that's useful.

00:08:17.300 So, in my opinion,

00:08:18.760 Nextdoor is presenting

00:08:19.940 actually useful information

00:08:21.360 because there might be

00:08:22.920 people who literally

00:08:23.940 don't know

00:08:24.640 that they're about

00:08:25.840 to ruin their own life

00:08:27.120 by saying something

00:08:28.740 that they think

00:08:29.600 is supporting

00:08:31.100 all life and equality,

00:08:33.540 but other people

00:08:34.740 are going to think

00:08:35.320 you're a racist. 0.92

00:08:39.420 I don't know.

00:08:40.720 I think it's worth trying.

00:08:43.660 Maybe see how people

00:08:44.760 think about it.

00:08:45.980 Give it a whirl.

00:08:46.960 If they were actually

00:08:47.760 blocking you

00:08:48.580 for saying it,

00:08:49.520 then that's

00:08:50.100 another question.

00:08:51.700 But if it's just

00:08:52.480 information,

00:08:53.880 and it's information

00:08:55.260 that can save your life,

00:08:56.900 literally,

00:08:57.840 it's worth a try.

00:09:00.120 They can always

00:09:00.680 reverse it

00:09:01.280 if the users

00:09:02.280 don't like it.

00:09:03.620 But anytime you can

00:09:05.020 try something cheaply

00:09:06.240 and it's got

00:09:08.100 a good purpose

00:09:08.820 behind it,

00:09:09.400 yeah, why not?

00:09:10.240 Give it a try.

00:09:10.980 It's a little creepy,

00:09:12.440 but it's a test.

00:09:14.180 Everything's a test

00:09:15.080 if you can

00:09:15.500 reverse it easily.

00:09:17.220 All right,

00:09:17.680 let's talk about

00:09:18.780 the Chauvin outcome.

00:09:23.480 If you didn't hear me

00:09:24.540 last night,

00:09:25.100 I did a live stream

00:09:25.940 last night,

00:09:26.460 but let me recap

00:09:27.340 my opinion.

00:09:28.420 Number one,

00:09:29.820 I am satisfied

00:09:30.780 with the jury's

00:09:32.940 work on this.

00:09:34.880 I thank the jurors.

00:09:38.780 I do not think

00:09:40.000 that the jury's job

00:09:42.400 is to decide

00:09:43.480 the law.

00:09:45.300 So this is where

00:09:46.020 I might differ

00:09:47.180 with some of you.

00:09:48.520 I don't believe

00:09:49.340 that the jury's duty,

00:09:51.000 and I use this word

00:09:52.140 intentionally,

00:09:54.720 I don't think

00:09:55.940 that the jury's duty

00:09:57.240 was to attend

00:09:59.680 to the letter

00:10:00.540 of the law

00:10:01.180 as instructed

00:10:02.060 by the judge.

00:10:03.620 That was their

00:10:04.500 job description,

00:10:06.260 right?

00:10:06.980 It's not their duty.

00:10:09.640 Their duty

00:10:10.480 under the law

00:10:11.620 is to follow

00:10:13.060 the law

00:10:13.500 just as best

00:10:14.660 they can.

00:10:15.800 So certainly,

00:10:16.660 if the only duty

00:10:17.400 you were talking

00:10:17.920 about is what

00:10:18.660 their legal,

00:10:20.580 required description

00:10:21.820 of their responsibility

00:10:23.200 is,

00:10:24.580 then it was

00:10:25.560 their duty

00:10:25.980 to follow

00:10:26.380 the letter

00:10:26.760 of the law.

00:10:28.000 But what is

00:10:29.240 a higher law,

00:10:30.000 what's the higher

00:10:30.940 law than

00:10:31.660 the legal law,

00:10:33.860 the one that's

00:10:34.280 written down?

00:10:35.360 Is there any

00:10:35.900 higher law?

00:10:37.280 Of course there is.

00:10:39.040 Of course there is.

00:10:40.980 There's the greater

00:10:41.740 good.

00:10:42.880 If you ever

00:10:43.780 ran into a situation

00:10:44.820 where following

00:10:45.580 the letter

00:10:46.060 of the law

00:10:46.760 was clearly

00:10:48.300 bad for the

00:10:49.120 greater good,

00:10:50.320 what would be

00:10:51.240 the duty

00:10:51.900 of the jury?

00:10:55.360 I'm going to

00:10:55.980 give you an

00:10:56.340 artificial example

00:10:57.220 where the jury

00:10:57.840 knows that

00:10:59.320 following the

00:10:59.920 letter of the

00:11:00.420 law would just

00:11:01.040 be a wrong.

00:11:02.760 What's their

00:11:03.400 duty?

00:11:04.400 Is their duty

00:11:05.260 to follow that

00:11:05.940 law that they

00:11:06.600 know is wrong?

00:11:08.120 No.

00:11:09.220 Never.

00:11:10.200 Their duty

00:11:10.660 is to be

00:11:11.560 humans.

00:11:12.780 Their duty

00:11:13.300 is to be

00:11:13.860 Americans.

00:11:15.480 Their duty

00:11:16.080 is to their

00:11:16.860 fellow citizens

00:11:17.740 for whom they

00:11:18.980 have taken

00:11:19.580 some sacrifice

00:11:20.560 to serve

00:11:21.380 on this

00:11:21.720 jury.

00:11:22.840 Now,

00:11:23.380 before we

00:11:24.080 discuss the

00:11:25.500 question of

00:11:26.040 whether they

00:11:26.500 handled it

00:11:27.040 right,

00:11:28.860 separately,

00:11:30.400 can we agree

00:11:31.460 that their

00:11:32.000 duty is to

00:11:34.120 do the best

00:11:34.660 they can for

00:11:35.340 the greater

00:11:35.740 good?

00:11:36.160 They might

00:11:36.460 not get it

00:11:36.940 right,

00:11:37.940 but their

00:11:38.700 duty is not

00:11:39.560 to follow

00:11:40.040 the law

00:11:40.860 if the

00:11:42.840 greater good

00:11:43.460 is in a

00:11:44.140 different

00:11:44.340 direction.

00:11:45.580 Does anybody

00:11:46.140 disagree with

00:11:46.720 that?

00:11:48.280 I want to

00:11:48.640 see if there

00:11:49.020 are those who

00:11:49.520 would say

00:11:49.860 that they

00:11:50.300 should follow

00:11:50.980 the law

00:11:51.660 even if

00:11:52.740 they knew

00:11:53.100 the law

00:11:53.580 was an

00:11:54.040 evil.

00:11:55.520 I'm not

00:11:56.080 saying that's

00:11:56.480 the case

00:11:56.800 in the

00:11:57.060 Chauvin

00:11:57.360 case,

00:11:57.900 just as

00:11:58.500 a principle.

00:12:01.680 A lot

00:12:02.340 of people

00:12:02.640 disagree.

00:12:04.800 I will

00:12:05.340 take your

00:12:05.900 disagreement

00:12:07.640 with respect,

00:12:11.340 meaning that

00:12:12.640 I respect

00:12:14.140 that point

00:12:15.640 of view

00:12:15.900 completely.

00:12:17.180 I have

00:12:17.760 complete

00:12:18.340 respect for

00:12:19.260 the opposite

00:12:20.200 view of

00:12:20.760 mine,

00:12:21.500 which is

00:12:22.480 if you

00:12:22.800 think that

00:12:23.300 following the

00:12:23.880 law is

00:12:24.280 just always

00:12:24.880 going to

00:12:25.160 be better,

00:12:26.520 even if

00:12:27.200 there's some

00:12:27.600 evil in a

00:12:28.740 specific case,

00:12:29.960 I can see

00:12:30.660 that.

00:12:31.280 That's not a

00:12:31.860 terrible argument,

00:12:32.900 by the way,

00:12:33.400 because there's

00:12:33.920 an assumption

00:12:34.400 built in that

00:12:35.860 following the

00:12:36.460 letter of the

00:12:36.980 law gets you

00:12:37.620 to a,

00:12:38.520 in the long

00:12:39.780 run,

00:12:40.140 you've got a

00:12:40.520 better situation,

00:12:41.280 right?

00:12:42.540 Yeah,

00:12:42.980 that's fairly

00:12:43.860 good.

00:12:45.160 But I

00:12:45.920 disagree.

00:12:47.120 I disagree.

00:12:47.860 The human

00:12:48.240 law is always

00:12:49.240 higher than

00:12:49.740 the real

00:12:51.840 law,

00:12:52.740 you know,

00:12:52.960 the written

00:12:53.220 law,

00:12:53.560 in my opinion.

00:12:55.100 And the

00:12:56.600 problem is

00:12:57.260 whether you

00:12:57.820 are wise

00:12:58.380 enough to

00:12:58.920 know when

00:12:59.580 to make

00:12:59.980 this critical

00:13:01.240 exception.

00:13:03.260 And that's

00:13:04.060 a problem,

00:13:04.620 right?

00:13:04.900 Because maybe

00:13:05.400 humans are

00:13:05.940 not wise

00:13:06.400 enough to

00:13:06.760 make these

00:13:07.180 exceptions.

00:13:08.340 But there

00:13:09.000 is a reason

00:13:09.560 that we have

00:13:10.120 jury trials,

00:13:11.280 and it's

00:13:11.600 because we're

00:13:12.240 all more

00:13:12.680 comfortable

00:13:13.040 with a

00:13:13.480 system in

00:13:14.600 which some

00:13:15.080 capable people

00:13:15.940 who mean

00:13:16.420 well do

00:13:17.400 the best

00:13:17.780 they can.

00:13:19.900 That's as

00:13:20.760 good as you

00:13:21.240 can get.

00:13:21.840 It's a pretty

00:13:22.280 good system.

00:13:23.400 And I would

00:13:23.920 say the

00:13:24.240 system worked

00:13:25.020 in that

00:13:26.160 sense.

00:13:27.180 And I do

00:13:27.980 think that the

00:13:28.600 jurors took

00:13:29.220 into account

00:13:29.920 their own

00:13:31.060 safety,

00:13:31.960 which I

00:13:32.760 support.

00:13:33.840 I think they

00:13:34.620 took into

00:13:35.060 account what

00:13:36.280 would happen

00:13:36.700 to society,

00:13:38.360 which I would

00:13:39.200 support them

00:13:39.740 doing that.

00:13:40.440 And just in

00:13:40.960 this specific

00:13:41.480 case.

00:13:42.200 I think they

00:13:42.860 took into

00:13:43.280 account potential

00:13:44.780 riots.

00:13:45.560 I think they

00:13:45.940 took into

00:13:46.400 account how

00:13:48.220 the police

00:13:48.780 would be

00:13:49.160 viewed.

00:13:49.740 I think they

00:13:50.200 took into

00:13:50.660 account racial

00:13:52.260 animosity.

00:13:53.620 I think they

00:13:54.340 took into

00:13:54.780 account how

00:13:55.440 it feels.

00:13:57.620 Should they?

00:13:58.700 Well, most of

00:13:59.720 you think no.

00:14:01.220 But they did

00:14:01.880 because you

00:14:03.020 can't not.

00:14:04.880 Nobody has the

00:14:05.780 ability to turn

00:14:06.560 that off.

00:14:07.820 It's all part

00:14:08.620 of the forces.

00:14:10.040 So, here's

00:14:12.220 what I like

00:14:12.760 about the

00:14:13.160 outcome.

00:14:14.100 I do believe

00:14:15.140 that it was a

00:14:15.800 close call in

00:14:17.300 terms of whether

00:14:17.860 he was guilty

00:14:18.400 of anything

00:14:19.020 versus not

00:14:20.280 guilty.

00:14:21.240 I think that

00:14:22.120 the jury heard

00:14:22.780 all of the

00:14:23.280 evidence and

00:14:24.480 I didn't.

00:14:26.060 That's important.

00:14:27.640 The jury heard

00:14:28.500 all of the

00:14:28.960 evidence.

00:14:30.080 I didn't.

00:14:31.900 Most of you,

00:14:33.480 almost 100%

00:14:34.640 of you also

00:14:35.280 didn't hear

00:14:36.020 all of the

00:14:36.460 evidence.

00:14:37.440 You didn't

00:14:37.780 live through

00:14:38.380 it.

00:14:39.220 So, if the

00:14:39.600 people who

00:14:40.140 lived through

00:14:40.740 it and saw

00:14:41.320 all of it

00:14:42.100 have a

00:14:42.660 different feeling

00:14:43.720 about it than

00:14:44.340 I got from

00:14:45.620 my little

00:14:46.000 keyhole, I'm

00:14:47.740 not going to

00:14:48.120 say they're

00:14:48.580 wrong.

00:14:49.740 Because the

00:14:50.260 assumption is

00:14:52.000 if all 12

00:14:53.240 of them voted

00:14:54.020 the same way,

00:14:55.240 it's more likely

00:14:56.180 that I would

00:14:56.840 have voted

00:14:57.160 that way too

00:14:57.940 if I'd seen

00:14:59.240 what they saw,

00:15:00.740 experienced what

00:15:01.500 they experienced,

00:15:02.240 but I didn't.

00:15:02.700 So, I'm

00:15:04.540 not going to

00:15:04.920 second-guess

00:15:05.480 people who

00:15:05.980 did the

00:15:06.300 work when

00:15:06.760 I didn't

00:15:07.100 do it.

00:15:08.120 And when I

00:15:08.480 watch anybody

00:15:09.000 online who

00:15:09.760 also didn't

00:15:10.460 do the

00:15:10.780 work, didn't

00:15:12.020 watch every

00:15:12.540 minute of the

00:15:13.040 trial, I

00:15:14.520 don't value

00:15:15.060 their opinion

00:15:15.620 as much as

00:15:16.240 I value the

00:15:17.040 jurors.

00:15:18.740 And there

00:15:19.700 was nothing

00:15:20.100 in the jury

00:15:20.680 description,

00:15:21.480 which I found

00:15:21.980 actually helpful,

00:15:22.880 even though it

00:15:23.400 has the bad

00:15:24.800 effect of

00:15:25.380 probably doxing

00:15:26.340 them.

00:15:27.060 But actually

00:15:27.720 reading about

00:15:28.320 the backgrounds

00:15:29.040 and the way

00:15:29.620 they answered

00:15:30.120 the questions,

00:15:31.340 I actually have

00:15:32.020 a lot of

00:15:32.340 confidence in

00:15:32.940 that group.

00:15:34.320 And it was

00:15:35.040 mostly white

00:15:36.020 people in

00:15:36.560 the jury

00:15:38.080 who convicted

00:15:39.120 a white guy,

00:15:40.160 which also

00:15:41.840 helps a little

00:15:42.440 bit for the

00:15:42.920 credibility.

00:15:45.080 Now, did

00:15:45.620 they make a

00:15:46.200 wise decision?

00:15:47.680 Well, let's

00:15:48.460 look at some

00:15:48.920 of the outcomes.

00:15:50.080 So, we

00:15:50.800 don't know if

00:15:51.340 it's wise,

00:15:52.080 but I do

00:15:52.600 feel like they

00:15:54.420 were credible

00:15:55.300 and tried.

00:15:57.080 And here's

00:15:58.460 one of the

00:15:58.720 outcomes.

00:15:59.300 According to

00:15:59.840 Axios

00:16:00.360 reporting,

00:16:01.140 senior

00:16:01.380 Democrat

00:16:01.840 and

00:16:02.200 Republican

00:16:02.700 aides,

00:16:03.540 so both

00:16:04.060 Democrats

00:16:04.560 and

00:16:04.740 Republicans,

00:16:05.180 this is

00:16:05.700 important to

00:16:06.260 the story,

00:16:07.620 the aides

00:16:08.600 say they

00:16:09.280 would have

00:16:09.560 never let

00:16:10.000 their bosses

00:16:10.480 say it on

00:16:10.960 the record,

00:16:11.980 but privately

00:16:12.580 they told

00:16:13.140 Axios that

00:16:14.000 a guilty

00:16:14.520 verdict in the

00:16:15.300 Chauvin trial

00:16:16.000 has lessened

00:16:17.440 pressure to

00:16:18.140 act on police

00:16:18.980 reform.

00:16:19.480 So, one

00:16:21.800 of the

00:16:22.020 outcomes of

00:16:22.660 this verdict

00:16:23.200 is less

00:16:24.780 likely there

00:16:25.520 will be

00:16:25.800 police reform

00:16:26.640 because it

00:16:28.580 looks like

00:16:29.120 this was

00:16:30.200 police reform,

00:16:31.300 right?

00:16:31.660 It made

00:16:32.340 sure that

00:16:32.780 police know

00:16:33.720 not to do

00:16:34.240 this.

00:16:36.040 Might have

00:16:36.640 made a big

00:16:36.980 difference,

00:16:37.960 but it

00:16:39.300 may not

00:16:39.660 turn into

00:16:40.040 legislation,

00:16:40.880 and we

00:16:41.060 don't know

00:16:41.380 what the

00:16:41.720 net of

00:16:42.020 that is.

00:16:42.440 so there's

00:16:47.740 that.

00:16:49.020 We also

00:16:49.660 didn't have

00:16:50.300 much in

00:16:51.280 the way of

00:16:51.700 riots last

00:16:52.360 night.

00:16:53.680 I think

00:16:54.040 Portland had

00:16:54.660 a little

00:16:54.940 action,

00:16:55.480 there was

00:16:55.660 a police

00:16:55.980 officer who

00:16:56.580 was assaulted,

00:16:57.940 some windows

00:16:58.520 got broken,

00:16:59.840 but basically

00:17:00.780 there were

00:17:01.700 no riots,

00:17:02.440 right?

00:17:03.500 I mean,

00:17:03.840 I think

00:17:04.060 Portland was

00:17:04.680 just going to

00:17:05.060 be Portland

00:17:05.520 no matter

00:17:05.940 what,

00:17:07.320 but is

00:17:08.460 that fair

00:17:08.780 to say?

00:17:10.080 Or is it

00:17:10.960 just not

00:17:11.300 being reported?

00:17:12.440 I'm looking

00:17:13.020 at your

00:17:13.280 comments to

00:17:13.820 see if I

00:17:14.160 missed it.

00:17:14.980 Well,

00:17:15.300 I would

00:17:15.520 say that

00:17:16.000 it's mostly

00:17:17.240 peaceful.

00:17:18.620 So does

00:17:19.380 that mean

00:17:19.780 that the

00:17:20.420 outcome

00:17:21.720 was right?

00:17:24.140 Well,

00:17:24.680 as I've

00:17:25.040 told you,

00:17:25.600 it feels

00:17:26.340 like,

00:17:26.720 we can't

00:17:27.200 confirm this,

00:17:28.000 maybe someday

00:17:28.500 we can,

00:17:29.380 it feels

00:17:29.820 like the

00:17:30.260 jury sent

00:17:31.060 a message

00:17:31.620 to the

00:17:32.000 world,

00:17:32.740 which is

00:17:33.800 there's

00:17:34.080 something

00:17:34.300 wrong with

00:17:34.880 this police

00:17:35.400 officer,

00:17:36.520 we're going

00:17:37.120 to sacrifice

00:17:37.840 him,

00:17:39.800 and we're

00:17:40.420 going to

00:17:40.720 send you a

00:17:41.680 message by

00:17:42.200 making him

00:17:42.740 guilty on

00:17:43.240 all counts,

00:17:44.560 which even

00:17:45.520 the experts

00:17:46.200 didn't really

00:17:46.920 think was

00:17:47.380 going to

00:17:47.620 happen,

00:17:47.960 did they?

00:17:49.260 So I

00:17:49.840 think the

00:17:50.220 jury is

00:17:51.420 sending a

00:17:51.880 message that

00:17:52.520 they're making

00:17:53.040 a, let's

00:17:53.760 say,

00:17:54.940 not according

00:17:56.200 to the

00:17:56.620 letter of

00:17:57.020 the law

00:17:57.440 decision.

00:17:58.620 I feel like

00:17:59.360 that's the

00:17:59.820 message.

00:18:00.720 Could be

00:18:01.140 wrong.

00:18:02.100 Could easily

00:18:03.220 be misinterpreting

00:18:04.140 it.

00:18:04.760 But it

00:18:05.120 feels like it

00:18:05.680 to me.

00:18:06.500 So I'm

00:18:06.720 just telling

00:18:07.060 you what I'm

00:18:08.160 receiving,

00:18:08.780 I'm not telling

00:18:09.260 you what

00:18:09.520 they sent.

00:18:12.840 And it

00:18:13.400 feels like,

00:18:15.760 well, let

00:18:16.540 me tell you

00:18:16.900 why I'm

00:18:17.260 not disappointed

00:18:20.040 in any way

00:18:20.740 about the

00:18:21.420 outcome,

00:18:22.540 even though

00:18:23.060 with what I

00:18:24.060 knew, it

00:18:25.800 would have

00:18:26.100 gone the

00:18:26.440 other way

00:18:26.840 if they'd

00:18:27.620 used the

00:18:28.020 letter of

00:18:28.380 the law.

00:18:29.200 But that's

00:18:29.660 just based

00:18:30.040 on what I

00:18:30.500 knew,

00:18:30.800 incomplete.

00:18:31.220 So it

00:18:38.940 seems to

00:18:39.320 me that

00:18:41.360 there was

00:18:41.780 something

00:18:42.360 wrong with

00:18:43.680 Derek Chauvin.

00:18:46.400 And did

00:18:48.420 anybody else

00:18:48.960 get that?

00:18:49.600 No matter

00:18:50.020 whether you

00:18:50.520 thought he

00:18:50.880 was technically

00:18:51.600 guilty, you

00:18:53.280 know, beyond

00:18:53.720 a reasonable

00:18:54.240 doubt, no

00:18:55.900 matter what

00:18:56.260 you thought

00:18:56.580 about that,

00:18:57.940 there was

00:18:58.300 something wrong

00:18:58.900 with him,

00:18:59.280 wasn't there?

00:18:59.680 You know

00:19:01.160 how humans,

00:19:02.300 this has been

00:19:03.300 proven, humans

00:19:04.380 can actually

00:19:05.020 detect if

00:19:05.780 somebody is

00:19:06.480 physically ill

00:19:07.560 by looking

00:19:08.900 at their

00:19:09.200 face.

00:19:10.740 I think

00:19:11.260 people could

00:19:11.800 probably detect

00:19:12.700 if people

00:19:14.120 are, I've

00:19:16.960 heard this,

00:19:17.720 tell me if

00:19:19.200 I'm wrong,

00:19:19.880 you can

00:19:20.260 detect if

00:19:20.800 somebody is

00:19:21.200 likely to

00:19:21.740 be gay by 0.92

00:19:23.400 their face.

00:19:24.540 Not every

00:19:25.340 time, of

00:19:26.000 course, but

00:19:26.420 better than

00:19:27.200 the chance

00:19:28.560 would suggest.

00:19:29.680 So there

00:19:31.040 are a lot

00:19:32.040 of things

00:19:32.360 about us

00:19:33.060 that just

00:19:33.960 sort of

00:19:34.260 come out

00:19:34.840 that people

00:19:36.540 could recognize.

00:19:38.340 And I

00:19:39.020 was trying

00:19:39.380 to think

00:19:39.720 yesterday,

00:19:40.240 what is it

00:19:40.860 about Derek

00:19:41.780 Chauvin

00:19:42.300 that bothered

00:19:44.020 me and

00:19:44.820 maybe everybody

00:19:46.160 else so

00:19:46.920 much?

00:19:48.920 Because it

00:19:49.660 wasn't exactly

00:19:50.460 what he was

00:19:50.980 doing, right?

00:19:52.740 Because what he

00:19:53.300 was doing,

00:19:53.980 there was enough

00:19:54.600 of an argument

00:19:55.220 that it was

00:19:55.940 part of the

00:19:56.920 policy and

00:19:57.700 hadn't hurt

00:19:58.120 people before

00:19:58.960 and maybe

00:20:00.380 he didn't

00:20:00.720 know how

00:20:01.220 bad he was

00:20:01.680 doing it.

00:20:02.480 It was part

00:20:03.000 of the

00:20:03.140 argument.

00:20:04.140 But beyond

00:20:04.660 the argument,

00:20:06.600 there was

00:20:06.980 something wrong

00:20:07.920 with his

00:20:08.640 attitude?

00:20:10.740 Or he

00:20:11.860 seemed a

00:20:12.340 little bit

00:20:12.720 too happy?

00:20:14.680 Did anybody

00:20:15.440 get that?

00:20:16.480 Like, was

00:20:16.840 anybody feeling

00:20:17.720 that somebody

00:20:18.860 says it's

00:20:19.300 called prejudice?

00:20:20.080 Yeah, of

00:20:20.540 course.

00:20:21.680 So we're not

00:20:22.440 talking about

00:20:22.800 science here.

00:20:23.520 I'm talking

00:20:23.880 about how

00:20:24.220 you felt

00:20:25.400 about him.

00:20:27.140 Did he

00:20:27.660 have a bad

00:20:28.160 feeling about

00:20:28.920 him?

00:20:29.180 I'm looking

00:20:29.580 at your

00:20:29.840 comments now

00:20:30.380 to see if

00:20:30.720 anybody had

00:20:31.160 that.

00:20:31.840 I'm seeing

00:20:32.300 some yeses,

00:20:33.120 some noes,

00:20:34.020 some people

00:20:34.540 signing off

00:20:35.340 because of

00:20:35.860 that.

00:20:37.180 Are you

00:20:37.680 trying to

00:20:38.080 persuade?

00:20:40.560 Fear?

00:20:41.300 You had

00:20:41.560 fear?

00:20:42.260 No.

00:20:44.080 There was,

00:20:45.700 I'll tell

00:20:46.420 you what it

00:20:48.540 looked like

00:20:48.940 to me.

00:20:50.160 There was

00:20:50.800 a lack

00:20:51.260 of empathy

00:20:51.960 that has

00:20:54.440 gone all

00:20:55.080 the way

00:20:55.380 through the

00:20:55.800 trial.

00:20:58.140 Should there

00:20:58.900 not have

00:20:59.400 been some

00:20:59.900 point in

00:21:01.260 which we

00:21:01.680 heard a

00:21:02.040 statement from

00:21:02.720 Derek Chauvin,

00:21:03.560 and maybe we

00:21:04.060 did, if he

00:21:05.260 made the

00:21:05.600 statement, let

00:21:06.040 me know.

00:21:06.840 Should Derek

00:21:07.460 Chauvin have

00:21:08.140 not said at

00:21:09.000 some point,

00:21:10.460 once he knew

00:21:11.300 he was going

00:21:11.700 to be tried

00:21:12.420 for it,

00:21:13.320 couldn't he

00:21:13.840 make a

00:21:14.260 statement that

00:21:14.800 says,

00:21:15.780 my God, I

00:21:16.460 certainly didn't

00:21:17.120 intend this,

00:21:18.120 I feel sorry

00:21:19.360 for the

00:21:19.740 family, I

00:21:21.440 never would

00:21:22.000 have done

00:21:22.440 this, had

00:21:24.240 I been

00:21:24.740 aware that

00:21:25.360 the danger

00:21:25.880 was so

00:21:26.460 much, you

00:21:28.260 know, something

00:21:29.420 like that.

00:21:31.240 Now, somebody

00:21:31.700 says, no, don't

00:21:32.620 do that because

00:21:33.240 it would imply

00:21:33.880 guilt, but you

00:21:35.300 don't have to

00:21:35.820 have guilt over

00:21:36.540 a death, do

00:21:38.800 you?

00:21:39.480 You can feel

00:21:40.340 bad about the

00:21:41.300 death without

00:21:42.720 admitting guilt.

00:21:44.420 Indeed, you

00:21:44.940 could say, I

00:21:46.520 feel terrible for

00:21:47.440 the family, I

00:21:48.740 feel awful about

00:21:50.240 what happened,

00:21:51.440 I hope that

00:21:52.900 the jury will

00:21:54.600 show that I

00:21:55.220 wasn't a

00:21:55.980 participant in

00:21:56.980 that, because

00:21:59.380 that's what I

00:21:59.900 felt at the

00:22:00.420 time.

00:22:01.340 Would that be

00:22:01.860 incriminating?

00:22:03.320 To simply

00:22:03.760 have empathy,

00:22:06.580 or remorse is

00:22:08.560 the wrong word,

00:22:10.000 because remorse

00:22:11.160 would suggest

00:22:11.780 that he did

00:22:12.380 know he did

00:22:12.920 something wrong,

00:22:13.820 so you'd have

00:22:14.180 to be careful

00:22:14.680 there.

00:22:15.460 But you

00:22:15.940 could have

00:22:16.260 empathy,

00:22:17.880 right?

00:22:18.360 And I feel

00:22:20.140 that he

00:22:20.800 didn't show

00:22:21.380 it in a

00:22:22.420 way people

00:22:22.980 were expecting,

00:22:23.900 which doesn't

00:22:24.340 mean anything,

00:22:24.900 he just didn't

00:22:25.680 show it the

00:22:26.040 way people

00:22:26.420 expected at

00:22:27.720 the moment,

00:22:28.520 you know,

00:22:28.840 that, and I

00:22:30.620 think this

00:22:30.940 changed a lot

00:22:31.500 of minds.

00:22:32.500 Apparently there

00:22:33.140 was a moment

00:22:33.680 when he knew

00:22:34.560 there was no

00:22:35.100 heartbeat, and

00:22:36.680 he didn't change

00:22:37.380 his behavior.

00:22:39.140 If you were on

00:22:40.080 top of somebody

00:22:40.760 holding him

00:22:41.200 down, and you 0.50

00:22:42.420 knew that their

00:22:43.060 heart stopped

00:22:44.220 beating, how

00:22:46.360 does that not

00:22:47.140 immediately change

00:22:48.400 your behavior?

00:22:50.140 And I don't

00:22:50.720 think it changed

00:22:51.280 his behavior.

00:22:52.920 So somebody

00:22:53.400 says Asperger's,

00:22:54.360 well that would

00:22:54.720 be interesting.

00:22:56.020 Certainly that

00:22:56.700 wasn't, that

00:22:58.800 would be really

00:22:59.260 interesting.

00:23:00.220 If that were

00:23:02.120 even a little

00:23:03.020 bit true, that

00:23:04.540 would be

00:23:05.320 certainly part of

00:23:06.680 the defense or

00:23:07.720 part of the

00:23:08.340 sentencing, but I

00:23:11.220 doubt it was

00:23:11.640 true.

00:23:12.000 We would have

00:23:12.360 heard about it.

00:23:14.780 Anyway, so I

00:23:16.040 think this jury

00:23:16.700 looked at a

00:23:17.320 person who had

00:23:17.920 no empathy, and

00:23:19.320 he was close

00:23:20.080 enough to doing

00:23:20.920 something that

00:23:21.580 looked like

00:23:22.040 murder, that 0.73

00:23:23.260 when they looked

00:23:24.000 at all of the

00:23:24.820 variables, including

00:23:25.820 their own safety,

00:23:28.020 what it would do

00:23:28.500 to society, just

00:23:29.600 what feels right,

00:23:31.460 I feel like the

00:23:33.200 jury made the

00:23:33.860 right decision.

00:23:35.500 Now, is that

00:23:36.900 the same as

00:23:37.520 saying that the

00:23:39.100 trial was fair?

00:23:43.640 I don't think it

00:23:44.520 was even close

00:23:45.200 to fair, not

00:23:47.260 even close, but

00:23:49.900 I think the

00:23:50.440 jury could have

00:23:51.020 a right decision

00:23:52.460 without the

00:23:53.840 trial being even

00:23:54.580 close to fair, and

00:23:56.100 that would be

00:23:56.480 okay.

00:23:57.220 In my mind, I

00:23:58.300 could hold both

00:23:58.920 of those as

00:23:59.420 true, but I've

00:24:01.060 heard earlier that

00:24:01.940 you couldn't, and

00:24:02.700 that's a legitimate

00:24:04.280 opinion.

00:24:06.020 Yeah, I think it

00:24:07.120 was a human

00:24:07.620 sacrifice.

00:24:08.980 And here's

00:24:09.560 something that I

00:24:10.140 think that the

00:24:11.400 black population

00:24:12.680 of this country

00:24:13.660 doesn't fully

00:24:14.960 understand.

00:24:16.600 And I'm going

00:24:17.340 to illustrate

00:24:19.520 it by playing

00:24:21.300 two parts.

00:24:22.980 I will now

00:24:23.420 give you a

00:24:23.980 skit in which

00:24:24.980 I play a

00:24:26.840 representative group

00:24:28.140 of black

00:24:28.760 Americans, not 1.00

00:24:30.020 any specific

00:24:30.800 person, and a

00:24:32.100 representative

00:24:32.660 person representing

00:24:34.480 white people, not 0.97

00:24:36.040 any one white

00:24:36.780 person.

00:24:37.100 black people

00:24:39.980 say, hey, you

00:24:42.020 white people, let's

00:24:43.420 see if you can

00:24:44.140 now punish a

00:24:45.000 white person for

00:24:46.860 doing something

00:24:47.560 that, you know,

00:24:48.620 maybe there's a

00:24:49.460 little argument

00:24:49.940 about how bad

00:24:50.720 it was.

00:24:51.040 Let's see if you

00:24:51.500 can do that.

00:24:52.540 Hey, white 1.00

00:24:52.940 people, do you

00:24:54.020 think you can

00:24:54.660 punish a white 1.00

00:24:55.640 person?

00:24:56.920 And then the

00:24:57.760 white people say,

00:24:59.080 sure, watch

00:25:00.020 this.

00:25:01.540 And then the

00:25:02.000 black people say, 0.55

00:25:03.140 but can you

00:25:04.940 punish an actual

00:25:06.840 white person when

00:25:08.580 the crime, there's

00:25:09.740 some disagreement

00:25:10.380 about the nature

00:25:11.360 of the crime?

00:25:12.460 Do you think

00:25:12.820 you can do

00:25:13.220 that?

00:25:14.080 And the white 0.54

00:25:14.480 people say, we

00:25:16.040 just said yes.

00:25:18.020 I don't even

00:25:18.720 know why you're

00:25:19.120 asking.

00:25:19.640 Of course we

00:25:20.260 can.

00:25:21.440 Of course we

00:25:22.280 can.

00:25:23.040 We do it every

00:25:23.900 day.

00:25:25.300 Punishing other

00:25:26.100 white people is 0.88

00:25:27.720 like breathing if

00:25:28.600 you're a white 0.98

00:25:29.040 person.

00:25:30.260 Do you know

00:25:30.520 how many white

00:25:31.040 people I've

00:25:31.660 punished?

00:25:32.900 Who had it

00:25:33.600 coming?

00:25:34.700 Lots of them.

00:25:36.180 Every day.

00:25:37.740 Punishing other

00:25:38.520 white people is 0.88

00:25:39.240 the easiest thing

00:25:40.000 we do.

00:25:41.280 Let me give you

00:25:41.840 a story that a

00:25:42.760 lot of people

00:25:43.180 didn't believe.

00:25:44.240 I've been telling

00:25:44.980 this story for

00:25:45.560 years.

00:25:45.920 It's completely

00:25:46.440 true.

00:25:47.620 But when I

00:25:48.140 tell it, there's

00:25:48.900 a certain

00:25:49.220 percentage of

00:25:49.920 you who will

00:25:50.420 swear I'm

00:25:51.120 lying.

00:25:52.600 Trust me, I've

00:25:53.360 been saying it

00:25:53.880 for 25 years

00:25:55.500 since I've been

00:25:56.740 able to tell

00:25:57.240 the story.

00:25:58.620 And there

00:25:59.780 would be

00:26:00.480 literally thousands

00:26:02.140 of witnesses

00:26:02.900 still alive who

00:26:05.420 would be refuting

00:26:06.240 me because I

00:26:07.780 tell this story

00:26:08.380 all the time.

00:26:09.320 Plenty of

00:26:09.880 people could

00:26:10.500 refute it if it

00:26:11.320 were not true.

00:26:11.960 And it goes

00:26:12.260 like this.

00:26:13.300 When I worked

00:26:14.040 for a big

00:26:14.820 bank, it was

00:26:15.420 Crocker National

00:26:16.400 Bank years ago,

00:26:17.560 beginning of my

00:26:18.180 career, my career

00:26:19.720 was going well and

00:26:20.540 it looked like I'd

00:26:21.200 be sort of a

00:26:22.260 management type

00:26:23.560 person.

00:26:24.240 And my boss

00:26:24.840 called me into

00:26:25.420 my office, a

00:26:26.820 white woman, and 0.99

00:26:28.100 she said, I don't

00:26:29.020 know how to tell

00:26:29.440 you this, but the

00:26:30.820 word has come down

00:26:31.860 from management

00:26:32.460 that we can't

00:26:33.820 promote you now

00:26:35.380 or for any time

00:26:36.660 in the future

00:26:37.140 that we can see

00:26:37.920 because you're

00:26:39.160 white and because

00:26:40.140 you're a man.

00:26:41.780 And they said

00:26:42.820 the reason is

00:26:43.600 that the company

00:26:44.200 was getting some

00:26:45.060 heat because there

00:26:45.880 was not enough

00:26:46.500 diversity in senior

00:26:47.560 management.

00:26:48.740 So, now you may

00:26:50.360 have heard me tell

00:26:51.000 the story, but

00:26:51.620 here's the twist

00:26:52.260 on it.

00:26:53.320 Who was it who

00:26:54.860 screwed me?

00:26:57.000 Who did that? 0.91

00:26:57.680 Was it black 0.77

00:26:58.940 people?

00:26:59.380 No, no.

00:27:01.740 It was old

00:27:02.600 white men

00:27:03.300 threw me under

00:27:04.700 the bus in a

00:27:05.880 heartbeat to

00:27:07.440 protect themselves

00:27:08.420 because they

00:27:09.440 could keep their

00:27:10.040 job as senior

00:27:12.300 management so long

00:27:14.080 as they screwed

00:27:14.920 enough white people 0.52

00:27:15.860 in lower levels

00:27:16.860 to let people

00:27:18.520 of color, you

00:27:19.260 know, sort of

00:27:19.860 leapfrog them and

00:27:20.720 get up to senior

00:27:21.440 management.

00:27:22.520 Now, independent

00:27:23.440 of whether you

00:27:24.060 think that was a

00:27:24.700 good idea to have

00:27:25.600 this reverse

00:27:26.400 discrimination, not

00:27:28.640 legally, but

00:27:29.340 the way companies

00:27:30.120 implemented it was

00:27:31.080 like that.

00:27:32.100 So, independent

00:27:33.120 of whether you

00:27:33.500 think that's a

00:27:34.000 good or bad

00:27:34.440 idea, the only

00:27:35.060 point I'm going

00:27:35.620 to make today is

00:27:37.540 that when white

00:27:39.660 men were asked

00:27:41.020 to destroy my

00:27:42.500 life for their

00:27:44.440 convenience, they

00:27:46.320 didn't hesitate.

00:27:47.900 They didn't

00:27:48.700 hesitate for a

00:27:50.220 fucking second.

00:27:51.960 So, let me tell

00:27:53.040 you, black 1.00

00:27:54.260 Americans, if

00:27:56.220 you're ever

00:27:56.520 wondering, will

00:27:58.400 white people

00:27:59.640 punish other

00:28:00.940 white people to

00:28:02.720 protect themselves?

00:28:04.760 Yeah.

00:28:06.020 Like, really

00:28:07.080 quickly.

00:28:08.980 So, the punch

00:28:10.220 line is that I

00:28:10.840 moved from that

00:28:11.460 bank.

00:28:11.860 I quit it almost

00:28:12.960 immediately.

00:28:13.900 Quit the bank,

00:28:14.720 moved to the

00:28:15.280 phone company where

00:28:16.280 I got on the

00:28:16.840 management fast

00:28:17.620 track and I was

00:28:18.340 going to be senior

00:28:19.560 management in the

00:28:20.320 phone company and

00:28:21.200 my boss called me

00:28:22.060 in and said, I

00:28:22.960 don't know how

00:28:23.280 to tell you

00:28:23.660 this, but the

00:28:25.580 word just came

00:28:26.180 down, we can't

00:28:27.060 promote white

00:28:28.220 people anymore.

00:28:29.860 Not white men 0.99

00:28:30.700 anyway.

00:28:31.660 Women maybe. 1.00

00:28:32.900 But we can't

00:28:33.500 promote any white 0.94

00:28:34.300 men because we

00:28:35.360 got caught, it's

00:28:36.580 only white people

00:28:37.340 in senior

00:28:37.760 management.

00:28:39.020 So, second

00:28:39.940 company, how

00:28:41.140 long did it take

00:28:41.960 the white people

00:28:42.800 to throw me under

00:28:43.680 the bus?

00:28:45.400 One second.

00:28:47.060 No hesitation.

00:28:48.680 If you want to

00:28:49.720 kill white people, 0.79

00:28:50.600 ask white people

00:28:52.700 to do it because

00:28:54.000 they're really

00:28:54.440 willing.

00:28:55.600 No hesitation.

00:28:57.560 So, I think

00:28:58.220 that's largely an

00:28:59.280 invisible thing.

00:29:01.300 If you're, imagine

00:29:02.460 being a black

00:29:03.860 person in America.

00:29:05.920 Some of you are.

00:29:06.720 You don't have to

00:29:07.160 imagine it at all.

00:29:08.600 Imagine what that

00:29:09.340 would be like if

00:29:10.160 the news just kept

00:29:11.480 you showing you

00:29:12.380 George Floyd

00:29:13.080 situations, black

00:29:15.100 people being abused,

00:29:16.240 black people being

00:29:16.980 abused, and it's

00:29:18.120 greater than the

00:29:18.840 percentages in the

00:29:19.800 public.

00:29:20.600 So, it's a real

00:29:21.660 thing, like a

00:29:22.900 real issue.

00:29:24.580 But if you don't

00:29:25.760 see all the times

00:29:26.880 that white people 0.52

00:29:27.580 are stomping on

00:29:29.120 the heads of

00:29:29.580 other white people

00:29:30.340 for their own

00:29:31.480 benefit, you're

00:29:32.720 kind of missing

00:29:33.180 some context.

00:29:34.980 It feels like

00:29:35.760 white people are 0.70

00:29:36.500 oppressing black

00:29:37.240 people, and the

00:29:38.260 part you miss is

00:29:39.360 that successful

00:29:40.380 white people are 0.70

00:29:41.660 just screwing

00:29:42.280 everybody.

00:29:43.440 They're just

00:29:44.060 screwing everybody

00:29:44.860 because that's

00:29:46.280 what's good for

00:29:46.740 them, to keep

00:29:47.720 things just the

00:29:48.360 way they are.

00:29:48.780 Anyway, that's

00:29:51.320 useful context for

00:29:52.280 you right there.

00:29:55.460 Do you think

00:29:56.220 that there's no

00:29:57.740 rioting because of

00:29:58.680 the Chauvin

00:29:59.160 verdict?

00:30:00.920 I feel like that's

00:30:01.980 the smartest thing

00:30:02.740 they did, is to

00:30:04.360 make it guilty on

00:30:05.260 everything.

00:30:06.420 Because at least

00:30:07.180 they had a chance

00:30:07.980 of averting the

00:30:09.580 riots, and it

00:30:10.340 looks like it

00:30:10.780 worked.

00:30:11.840 It looks like it

00:30:12.660 worked.

00:30:12.900 You know, I

00:30:14.200 said yesterday

00:30:15.140 that, I've said

00:30:16.960 this a lot, that

00:30:18.100 I don't believe

00:30:18.680 there's any such

00:30:19.280 thing as bad

00:30:20.160 presidents and

00:30:20.960 good presidents.

00:30:22.800 Because by the

00:30:23.600 time you get

00:30:24.080 elected president,

00:30:24.880 you do have a

00:30:25.720 certain minimum

00:30:26.420 amount of, you

00:30:27.420 know, talent.

00:30:28.300 So they all have

00:30:29.180 the minimum

00:30:29.580 talent.

00:30:30.860 But what makes

00:30:31.740 you good or bad

00:30:32.660 is just luck.

00:30:34.820 Is your specific

00:30:36.160 set of talents and

00:30:37.220 your personality,

00:30:37.940 is it suited for

00:30:39.640 the exact problems

00:30:40.980 that come up while

00:30:41.720 you're president?

00:30:43.000 Now, COVID was

00:30:44.600 exactly the wrong

00:30:46.040 problem for

00:30:47.540 President Trump.

00:30:49.280 And I'm not even

00:30:50.220 sure his supporters

00:30:51.160 would disagree with

00:30:52.120 that too much,

00:30:53.220 right?

00:30:53.720 It just wasn't the

00:30:54.700 right match.

00:30:55.860 Because optimism,

00:30:57.540 which was the

00:30:58.200 Trump thing,

00:30:59.480 optimism and the

00:31:00.600 pandemic, they just

00:31:01.740 didn't fit together.

00:31:03.440 But optimism and

00:31:04.660 the economy, great.

00:31:07.020 You know, Trump

00:31:07.760 and the economy, I

00:31:08.860 love that combination.

00:31:10.140 Optimism, economics,

00:31:11.480 works great.

00:31:12.680 I feel as if

00:31:13.900 Biden was exactly

00:31:14.960 the right president

00:31:15.780 for this.

00:31:18.100 Doesn't make him

00:31:18.860 the right president

00:31:19.520 for other things,

00:31:20.960 but for this.

00:31:22.600 I feel like he was

00:31:23.700 exactly the right

00:31:24.440 guy.

00:31:24.880 Because he's

00:31:25.540 boring.

00:31:26.680 He didn't make it

00:31:27.540 about, you know,

00:31:28.920 him.

00:31:31.020 Even though he put

00:31:32.080 pressure on, you

00:31:33.180 know, in some ways

00:31:34.020 you could argue that

00:31:34.740 the politicians put

00:31:35.560 pressure on the

00:31:36.120 jury.

00:31:37.120 But there wasn't

00:31:38.420 going to be a fair

00:31:39.100 trial anyway.

00:31:40.980 So I think Biden

00:31:43.520 might have been

00:31:44.220 maybe exactly the

00:31:46.620 right person.

00:31:47.220 Because he took all

00:31:47.920 the energy out of it.

00:31:50.140 If there's one thing

00:31:51.160 that Biden can do,

00:31:52.000 it's suck the energy

00:31:52.920 out of the topic.

00:31:54.180 And what did you

00:31:55.080 need this topic to

00:31:56.720 have?

00:31:58.080 Less energy.

00:31:59.540 Right?

00:32:00.560 When I talk about

00:32:01.660 Trump being an

00:32:02.940 energy monster, it's 0.99

00:32:04.120 usually in a positive

00:32:04.980 sense.

00:32:05.460 He can take energy

00:32:06.220 and turn it into

00:32:07.080 stuff.

00:32:08.420 Biden's like an

00:32:09.200 energy sink.

00:32:10.380 He can just suck

00:32:11.280 the energy out of

00:32:12.020 stuff.

00:32:13.020 This is a topic

00:32:14.180 where sucking the 0.99

00:32:15.720 energy out of it

00:32:16.540 was the right play.

00:32:19.140 And he pulled it

00:32:20.160 off, you know, by

00:32:21.480 doing nothing,

00:32:22.060 basically.

00:32:24.320 Here's an opinion

00:32:25.300 worth noting.

00:32:26.380 Mike Cernovich, I

00:32:27.240 was waiting to see

00:32:27.880 what he said about

00:32:28.740 this.

00:32:28.960 I'll just read you

00:32:29.700 his tweet, because

00:32:31.720 he always has good

00:32:33.500 stuff to say about

00:32:34.500 this kind of thing.

00:32:35.980 He said, on the

00:32:36.640 facts and law, the

00:32:37.700 Chauvin case was

00:32:38.640 always a close one.

00:32:40.300 I'd agree with that.

00:32:41.520 He could have been

00:32:42.440 properly convicted.

00:32:44.500 So, might have gone

00:32:45.660 exactly this way, no

00:32:46.940 matter what.

00:32:48.040 But he did not get a

00:32:49.240 fair trial, as

00:32:50.100 everyone from

00:32:50.860 rioters to a member

00:32:52.000 of Congress to the

00:32:52.940 POTUS tampered with

00:32:53.940 the outcome.

00:32:54.540 I'd agree with that.

00:32:55.700 Today is one of

00:32:56.920 national disgrace.

00:32:58.140 It's a true 0.99

00:32:59.160 insurrection.

00:33:01.300 So, his opinion is

00:33:02.780 that this is a bad

00:33:04.660 outcome, because it

00:33:06.100 was an unfair trial.

00:33:07.760 I agree on the

00:33:08.900 facts.

00:33:10.300 There's no way it

00:33:11.260 could have been a

00:33:11.740 fair trial.

00:33:12.920 Here's where I would

00:33:13.740 disagree on the

00:33:14.420 opinion.

00:33:16.060 There wasn't a

00:33:16.760 chance for a fair

00:33:17.800 trial.

00:33:19.600 I would completely

00:33:21.060 agree with the

00:33:21.800 opinion if it had

00:33:23.400 been an option to

00:33:25.440 have a fair trial.

00:33:26.340 But that option

00:33:27.100 never existed.

00:33:28.420 It can't exist.

00:33:29.880 The story was

00:33:30.520 simply too big, and

00:33:31.940 people's ability to

00:33:33.140 communicate simply

00:33:34.680 too good.

00:33:35.900 There wasn't really

00:33:37.200 an option for a fair

00:33:38.300 trial.

00:33:39.420 So, given that there

00:33:40.580 was no option for a

00:33:41.860 fair trial, and

00:33:43.440 Chauvin didn't really

00:33:44.500 have the option,

00:33:45.580 really, of anything

00:33:46.920 like justice according

00:33:49.240 to the details of the

00:33:51.180 law and reasonable

00:33:52.660 doubt, and none of

00:33:53.600 those things really

00:33:54.180 applied, in my

00:33:55.020 opinion, to the

00:33:56.260 case.

00:33:56.640 I think it was

00:33:57.180 emotional, social,

00:34:00.420 peer pressure.

00:34:01.220 I think it was all

00:34:01.680 those things.

00:34:04.260 But again, I would

00:34:05.200 say that the jurors

00:34:06.620 had the hardest job

00:34:07.640 in the world.

00:34:08.940 They had to figure

00:34:09.640 out what was the

00:34:10.340 greater good in all

00:34:12.280 of this mess, because

00:34:14.420 there were no good

00:34:15.420 solutions.

00:34:16.620 There was nothing

00:34:17.360 that the jury could

00:34:18.280 do that would solve

00:34:20.040 all the problems.

00:34:20.980 They could only

00:34:22.220 choose which problems

00:34:23.280 to keep and which

00:34:25.000 problems to try to

00:34:26.200 reduce, and that's

00:34:27.500 only trying.

00:34:28.720 There were no good

00:34:30.040 outcomes, in the sense

00:34:31.640 of everybody gets

00:34:32.620 justice or anything

00:34:33.520 like that.

00:34:34.180 It never was

00:34:34.720 possible.

00:34:36.660 And so, these jurors,

00:34:38.220 again, I can't tell

00:34:39.620 you how much respect I

00:34:40.660 have for this group of

00:34:41.640 jurors.

00:34:42.620 They reached into the

00:34:43.760 hardest situation in

00:34:44.920 the world.

00:34:46.200 The whole country was

00:34:47.460 watching, and really, in

00:34:48.600 a way, the whole world,

00:34:49.460 world, because where

00:34:50.500 America goes, you 0.96

00:34:51.880 know, affects everybody.

00:34:54.460 I think they did a

00:34:55.500 tremendous job.

00:34:57.160 And if they didn't

00:34:58.500 follow the letter of

00:34:59.560 the law, I respect it,

00:35:01.020 because I think they

00:35:02.160 would, they may have

00:35:03.520 been looking at a

00:35:04.200 higher law, and that

00:35:05.580 would be okay with me.

00:35:06.600 Now, we may find out

00:35:07.520 later that the, you

00:35:08.920 know, that my

00:35:09.420 interpretation of the

00:35:10.480 jurors is way too,

00:35:12.820 way too nice.

00:35:15.700 And if we find that

00:35:16.820 out later, I will

00:35:17.580 modify my opinion.

00:35:19.080 But I'm not going to

00:35:20.080 make the assumption

00:35:20.820 that this group of

00:35:22.740 patriotic Americans

00:35:23.800 was anything but

00:35:25.440 well-meaning, well-

00:35:27.760 intentioned, and did a

00:35:29.520 good job in the face

00:35:30.960 of the impossible.

00:35:32.560 That's my current

00:35:33.400 position.

00:35:34.360 Happy to modify it if

00:35:35.660 we find out later that

00:35:36.820 something's different.

00:35:41.680 All right.

00:35:43.740 Let's see.

00:35:44.420 What else have we got

00:35:44.960 going on?

00:35:46.640 As I say once or

00:35:48.420 twice a week, if you're

00:35:49.400 not following Glenn

00:35:50.680 Greenwald on Twitter,

00:35:52.760 you really have to.

00:35:54.080 Just stop what you're

00:35:54.960 doing and just give him

00:35:55.820 a follow.

00:35:56.580 Because watching him

00:35:57.660 spank CNN and MSNBC

00:36:00.460 and the other media for

00:36:02.440 being essentially

00:36:04.280 propaganda organs is

00:36:06.320 just really good

00:36:07.660 entertainment and

00:36:09.120 useful.

00:36:10.140 Like, you really need

00:36:11.000 to see how often it

00:36:11.980 happens to fully feel

00:36:14.020 what's going on.

00:36:15.580 And nobody does a

00:36:16.660 better job than

00:36:17.440 Greenwald in spanking

00:36:19.920 them.

00:36:20.300 So today's example was

00:36:21.760 the Officer Sicknick

00:36:23.900 story.

00:36:24.520 He's the officer who

00:36:25.580 was killed.

00:36:26.280 Well, I'm sorry.

00:36:27.880 Back up, back up,

00:36:29.760 back up.

00:36:30.280 Erase everything I

00:36:31.120 just said.

00:36:32.140 He's the officer who

00:36:33.340 died soon after the

00:36:35.500 Capitol insurrection or

00:36:37.960 riots or protest,

00:36:40.180 whatever you want to

00:36:40.860 call them.

00:36:41.260 And CNN had been

00:36:43.620 reporting that he'd

00:36:44.400 been killed with a

00:36:45.360 fire extinguisher, you

00:36:47.120 know, hit in the head

00:36:47.940 with it.

00:36:48.520 And then they reported

00:36:49.520 that the bear spray might

00:36:50.860 have killed him somehow.

00:36:52.480 And now we know that he

00:36:54.420 died of natural causes.

00:36:56.020 It was just sadly, you

00:36:58.600 know, linked to that date.

00:37:00.660 And how did CNN handle the

00:37:03.720 fact that they had been

00:37:04.600 misreporting, I mean,

00:37:05.740 seriously misreporting,

00:37:07.220 the story for a long

00:37:09.140 time.

00:37:10.960 They kind of just glossed

00:37:13.700 over it a little bit.

00:37:15.740 And Greenwald has busted

00:37:18.020 their balls on it. 0.86

00:37:19.820 So that's fun to see.

00:37:21.920 All right, you want some

00:37:22.620 real fun?

00:37:23.480 Here's some fun.

00:37:24.560 Rasmussen is going to be

00:37:25.820 reporting in a little bit.

00:37:27.680 It's not out yet for the

00:37:29.380 rest of you, but I got a

00:37:30.580 sneak preview.

00:37:31.580 And they were asking a

00:37:34.260 question about the opinions

00:37:36.580 about Coca-Cola.

00:37:38.320 You know, you know that

00:37:39.180 Coca-Cola weighed in and

00:37:40.940 complained about Georgia's

00:37:42.480 voting law changes.

00:37:45.260 It got involved in politics

00:37:46.860 and, as you might imagine,

00:37:48.800 liberals and Democrats went

00:37:50.300 different directions on their

00:37:51.720 feelings about Coca-Cola.

00:37:53.240 But here's the funniest shit

00:37:54.680 you've ever seen in your life.

00:37:56.080 All right?

00:37:56.340 Here's the Rasmussen poll results

00:37:58.980 to this question.

00:38:01.580 Does the Georgia voting laws

00:38:06.060 and Coca-Cola's response

00:38:07.720 make you more likely or less

00:38:10.120 likely to drink Coca-Cola

00:38:12.320 products?

00:38:16.380 The GOP was 52% less likely

00:38:20.320 to purchase Coca-Cola products.

00:38:23.220 That's a pretty big deal,

00:38:24.600 isn't it?

00:38:26.080 Over half of conservatives

00:38:30.540 or, yeah, basically

00:38:32.580 conservatives, say they're

00:38:35.420 less likely to drink the

00:38:36.460 product.

00:38:36.900 That's kind of devastating,

00:38:38.140 isn't it?

00:38:38.860 You notice that, you did

00:38:42.260 notice that Coca-Cola seemed

00:38:43.880 to pull back a little bit.

00:38:45.800 And I asked, I wonder if

00:38:47.000 there's anything happening

00:38:47.740 with their sales.

00:38:49.160 Well, if over half of

00:38:51.080 Republicans decided they're

00:38:52.560 going to drink less of these

00:38:53.540 products, Coca-Cola probably

00:38:56.900 noticed.

00:38:59.260 But, here's the good part.

00:39:02.120 Are you ready for the good

00:39:02.960 part?

00:39:04.120 Here's the money shot.

00:39:06.060 I don't think anything's made

00:39:07.140 me laugh more than this

00:39:08.380 lately.

00:39:11.040 Liberals are 37% more likely

00:39:13.980 to consume Coca-Cola products.

00:39:18.840 They're more likely.

00:39:20.040 Now, if Coke were, let's say,

00:39:24.840 a healthy product, this story

00:39:27.400 would look really good.

00:39:28.920 Healthy in terms of improved

00:39:30.780 your health.

00:39:31.800 I'm not making any claims

00:39:33.200 about health and products

00:39:35.020 because I would get sued.

00:39:37.000 I have no evidence, no evidence

00:39:40.060 that this product is bad for you.

00:39:42.180 But I think I can say it is not

00:39:44.320 intended to be a medicine.

00:39:46.720 And I would imagine that

00:39:51.600 dieticians would have something 1.00

00:39:52.960 to say about the value of

00:39:54.700 drinking Coke or Diet Coke.

00:39:57.940 They have lots of other

00:39:58.960 products, of course, but those

00:40:00.640 are the ones you think of.

00:40:02.940 So, I wonder if the GOP should

00:40:06.020 come out in favor of quitting

00:40:08.200 cigarettes to see how many

00:40:10.580 liberals would start smoking.

00:40:12.060 Because I think, you know,

00:40:15.980 the Republicans are always

00:40:17.640 worried that immigration is, 0.95

00:40:20.500 at least the way the Democrats

00:40:21.920 want to do it, is really a

00:40:23.400 clever way to get more Democrat 0.99

00:40:25.080 voters through immigration.

00:40:26.980 Oh, that's your real reason,

00:40:28.320 isn't it?

00:40:29.040 But now Republicans have their

00:40:30.600 own play like that.

00:40:32.540 They can just come out against

00:40:34.720 anything that's bad for you.

00:40:38.220 Democrats will immediately do

00:40:39.840 more of the things that are bad

00:40:41.220 for them and will kill them. 0.98

00:40:43.020 And then there will be fewer

00:40:44.380 Democrats.

00:40:46.840 I'm just saying it's a strategy

00:40:48.360 that would work.

00:40:49.500 It's working right now.

00:40:51.540 Because they, apparently,

00:40:53.320 they convinced, they convinced

00:40:55.240 Democrats to drink more sugar

00:40:57.340 water.

00:40:59.720 I mean, seriously, is that not

00:41:01.920 funny?

00:41:03.800 Okay.

00:41:07.160 Somebody said,

00:41:08.540 that's so bad.

00:41:11.920 I'm going to repeat it.

00:41:13.200 Somebody else said this.

00:41:14.520 This is not my idea.

00:41:15.500 I'm just looking at it in the

00:41:16.380 comments.

00:41:17.260 Somebody said that Republicans

00:41:18.520 are already doing that with

00:41:19.700 abortion.

00:41:20.720 By being opposed to abortion,

00:41:22.860 it's making Democrats abort

00:41:24.460 abort their own babies. 1.00

00:41:30.840 That's not funny, except it

00:41:32.500 kind of is.

00:41:34.300 Here's how the AP is reporting

00:41:36.880 a story that you probably

00:41:37.900 heard about.

00:41:38.840 So this is their tweet, their

00:41:40.140 exact words.

00:41:41.380 Police shot and killed a teenage

00:41:43.180 black girl in Columbus, Ohio,

00:41:45.340 just as the verdict was being

00:41:47.300 announced in the trial for the

00:41:48.680 killing of George Floyd.

00:41:50.540 Oh, my God.

00:41:52.340 Police are terrible, aren't they?

00:41:54.980 I mean, just listen to this.

00:41:56.860 Police shot and killed a teenage

00:41:58.500 girl, just as the verdict was

00:42:01.180 announced in the Floyd trial.

00:42:02.380 It's just going from bad to

00:42:03.600 worse.

00:42:04.720 Police just killing this teenage

00:42:06.400 girl.

00:42:08.240 Oh, there's more to it.

00:42:10.340 Body cam footage appeared to

00:42:12.020 show the girl attempting to 0.94

00:42:13.560 stab two people with a knife

00:42:16.000 while she was in the act.

00:42:18.700 Oh, feels like that could have

00:42:21.180 been the lead sentence.

00:42:22.660 Here's another way this headline

00:42:25.020 could have run.

00:42:25.720 Instead of, police shot and

00:42:27.300 killed a teenage black girl.

00:42:29.980 Another way it could have gone is

00:42:31.340 police saved the life of a black

00:42:34.420 girl by quick action, just as the

00:42:38.320 verdict for the George Floyd thing

00:42:40.880 was being read.

00:42:41.560 both of those are true.

00:42:44.660 If you see the body cam, by the

00:42:47.020 way, who knows how, what a jury

00:42:49.680 will say, but the body cam shows a

00:42:52.220 police officer doing some of the best

00:42:54.620 police work I've ever seen.

00:42:57.120 Because if you didn't see the video, it

00:42:59.780 was a one young woman getting with a 0.98

00:43:03.660 knife in the act, getting ready to

00:43:05.760 stab another woman who is, you know, 1.00

00:43:08.360 defensively trying to protect

00:43:09.940 yourself.

00:43:10.340 And as the knife was coming down, a

00:43:13.400 police officer with a pistol, you

00:43:15.940 know, not, not a rifle with a

00:43:17.360 sight from a fairly good distance

00:43:20.100 took out the, took out the knife

00:43:23.520 woman without hurting the potential 1.00

00:43:26.200 victim.

00:43:27.900 That was really good police work,

00:43:30.500 wasn't it?

00:43:32.220 Yeah.

00:43:33.040 Like I'd hate to see that.

00:43:34.360 I hate to say there's anything

00:43:35.340 called a good shooting, but that was

00:43:38.680 as good a shooting as you can get.

00:43:40.480 It saved a life in real time and it

00:43:42.360 was really tight and he acted

00:43:44.220 quickly, took, let me, let me put this

00:43:47.120 in another perspective, especially

00:43:48.600 what kind of risk did that police

00:43:52.100 officer take for himself?

00:43:55.800 Huge, huge.

00:43:58.640 That was somebody who in a moment with

00:44:01.220 no time to think, took a gigantic risk

00:44:05.080 of his whole life, that police

00:44:07.480 officer, you know, because we know the

00:44:09.260 George Floyd thing is changing how

00:44:10.660 people are saying things.

00:44:11.900 He took the risk of his own life to

00:44:15.280 save a young black woman who is in, at 0.59

00:44:18.080 any moment was going to be stabbed to

00:44:19.740 death.

00:44:20.820 He took, he took that chance, his own

00:44:22.980 chance.

00:44:23.960 That's what happened.

00:44:25.940 And, but it's reported as police shot

00:44:28.720 and killed a teenage black girl, just

00:44:31.180 as the Floyd verdict was being read.

00:44:33.720 Propaganda, people.

00:44:34.720 It's propaganda.

00:44:38.240 Here's a provocative thought you've

00:44:41.160 seen on Facebook and other places that

00:44:43.340 it's pretty easy now, technologically,

00:44:45.600 to replace the face of anybody on a

00:44:49.820 video.

00:44:51.360 You've all seen it, right?

00:44:52.720 You've all seen the examples.

00:44:54.240 It's no big deal to replace somebody's

00:44:55.920 face.

00:44:56.160 Suppose you could, you got to the point

00:44:58.520 where you could replace it so well, and

00:45:00.180 I think we're kind of there, where you

00:45:02.140 couldn't tell that a face had been

00:45:05.060 replaced by another face.

00:45:07.100 And then, imagine that you use that

00:45:10.140 technology to reverse the ethnicities on

00:45:14.160 any video crime.

00:45:17.040 So that if you see the police attacking,

00:45:19.940 you know, or in a conflict with somebody,

00:45:22.360 it just automatically reverses their

00:45:25.000 ethnicities, but everything else stays

00:45:27.240 the same.

00:45:28.740 And then you, you play for the jury the

00:45:33.840 reversed ethnicities, and you never show

00:45:35.820 them the original.

00:45:39.180 Would you get the same verdict?

00:45:41.340 Of course you wouldn't.

00:45:43.000 Not every time.

00:45:44.320 Sometimes you would, if the, if the facts

00:45:46.360 are clear.

00:45:46.760 But no, it would change things, for sure.

00:45:49.680 And what if you did that face swap?

00:45:53.700 Let's say you wait 10 years until there's

00:45:55.680 some college students who have never heard

00:45:58.360 of George Floyd.

00:45:59.280 I don't know if that's possible.

00:46:00.380 But you wait 10 years, and you run the

00:46:02.900 entire trial by this bunch of students,

00:46:06.560 but just reversing the ethnicities with the,

00:46:09.720 and by then maybe the culture is different,

00:46:12.840 things are different.

00:46:13.600 And just see if you get the same verdict.

00:46:17.680 Somebody says they already race swapped

00:46:19.920 George Zimmerman.

00:46:21.620 I'm not sure what you mean by that.

00:46:24.760 But think about the fact that this is now

00:46:26.980 a technology that actually works.

00:46:30.960 That would be interesting.

00:46:32.980 So Fox News is interesting about the verdict

00:46:36.720 on the Floyd Chauvin case.

00:46:38.660 So apparently Hannity is backing the jury

00:46:42.940 and says it was a good result.

00:46:45.980 Not too far from my own opinion,

00:46:48.000 although I'm not sure the facts of the case

00:46:50.140 exactly supported it.

00:46:52.580 But I like the outcome.

00:46:54.340 Whereas Tucker Carlson is talking about

00:46:57.580 the trial being unfair.

00:46:59.660 I think, I think, I like the fact that

00:47:02.600 these opinions are different.

00:47:04.620 I just like that fact.

00:47:06.120 You know, independent of whether I agree with them,

00:47:09.260 it's just healthy that they're not on the same page.

00:47:13.820 Remember I told you, I think I told you,

00:47:16.460 that I'm waiting for the J&J vaccine.

00:47:19.400 That's the one I want.

00:47:21.020 It's the only one banned,

00:47:22.860 at least in the United States.

00:47:24.160 Or maybe there's another one banned.

00:47:25.740 But they're looking into the,

00:47:27.740 these rare blood clots.

00:47:29.680 And that's why the J&J vaccine,

00:47:31.360 the only one that is one shot,

00:47:32.900 and one of the ones that uses existing technology

00:47:36.340 instead of the mRNA stuff.

00:47:39.160 And here's what a blood clotting expert

00:47:42.460 says about this.

00:47:44.600 So here are the actual odds.

00:47:46.420 And by the way, compliments to CNN.

00:47:51.000 Compliments to CNN.

00:47:53.260 Weird, huh?

00:47:54.600 CNN actually did an opinion piece

00:47:57.580 in which they showed the math

00:48:00.080 and they did a cost-benefit analysis.

00:48:04.180 What?

00:48:06.140 What?

00:48:07.420 How often have you ever seen that?

00:48:09.940 When was the last time you saw CNN report a story

00:48:12.280 with like a proper cost-benefit analysis

00:48:15.240 so you could see both sides?

00:48:17.320 It's really rare.

00:48:18.320 So when it happened,

00:48:20.200 good job, CNN.

00:48:22.500 In fact, this should have been on Fox News.

00:48:24.960 So CNN, I'm going to give you an A-plus

00:48:27.460 for what I'm going to read right now

00:48:29.120 for just the way they handled this story.

00:48:32.500 So this is a blood clotting expert

00:48:34.340 talking about the J&J vaccine.

00:48:35.900 It says, quote,

00:48:36.880 the chances of you being,

00:48:38.820 oh wait, back up,

00:48:40.160 the chances of getting

00:48:41.160 what we are calling

00:48:42.920 vaccine-induced

00:48:44.540 immunothrombotic

00:48:46.800 thrombisotipinia

00:48:49.340 I think I pronounced that correctly

00:48:52.180 or V-I-T-T 1.00

00:48:53.660 is one in a million.

00:48:54.840 All right, so let's just call it blood clots.

00:48:56.880 So the chance of getting a blood clot

00:48:58.600 from this vaccine

00:48:59.740 is one in a million.

00:49:01.280 Hold that number in your head.

00:49:03.980 The chances of being hospitalized

00:49:05.680 with COVID

00:49:06.560 is roughly one in a hundred

00:49:08.760 for the adult population.

00:49:11.840 And the chances of having a blood clot

00:49:14.040 once you are hospitalized

00:49:15.680 is probably one in five

00:49:17.960 or one in six.

00:49:19.860 And a little more,

00:49:20.860 it's like one in three

00:49:21.540 if you're in the ICU.

00:49:23.580 So put those benefits,

00:49:25.180 put those numbers together.

00:49:27.340 A one in a million chance

00:49:29.260 that the vaccine

00:49:31.060 gives you a blood clot.

00:49:33.600 But there's a one in a hundred chance

00:49:35.620 that if you get the COVID

00:49:37.220 you're going to be,

00:49:39.820 that you've got a one in six chance

00:49:42.560 of getting it.

00:49:43.240 Now, the math is too much

00:49:44.880 to do the direct, direct.

00:49:47.200 But I think you can see

00:49:48.840 just from the magnitude

00:49:49.820 that we're not talking about

00:49:52.840 more risk from the vaccine.

00:49:55.280 We're talking about lower risk

00:49:56.980 if this is the only way

00:49:58.320 to get the vaccine.

00:49:59.640 Now, to be fair,

00:50:00.580 the real comparison

00:50:01.340 should have been

00:50:02.000 getting this vaccine

00:50:03.600 versus the other vaccine.

00:50:05.100 So, if I'm being fair,

00:50:08.940 I think I have to knock

00:50:09.800 their A plus down

00:50:10.720 to maybe a C plus

00:50:12.760 as I'm thinking about it

00:50:13.840 because they did

00:50:16.420 the wrong comparison.

00:50:17.780 So, if you had enough vaccines

00:50:19.800 so everybody could get one,

00:50:22.420 why not get rid of this one risk

00:50:24.520 that doesn't seem to be the case

00:50:26.120 with the other vaccines?

00:50:27.260 But, do you really know

00:50:30.360 the risk with the other vaccines?

00:50:32.400 Because they're the new technology.

00:50:34.980 Maybe they're a risk later

00:50:36.280 and you don't know.

00:50:38.260 So, that's got to be in there.

00:50:40.060 And what about the risk

00:50:40.940 that you don't get the COVID at all?

00:50:44.100 So, this risk of one in a hundred

00:50:45.700 being hospitalized,

00:50:46.900 that's only if they get it.

00:50:48.620 But you have to multiply that by,

00:50:50.800 or you have to factor in

00:50:51.960 what are the odds of getting it

00:50:53.040 in the first place,

00:50:53.760 which is not in here.

00:50:54.480 So, I'll at least give them credit

00:50:56.580 for waving their arms

00:50:57.900 at the magnitudes.

00:50:59.620 And I think they got

00:51:00.560 the magnitudes right.

00:51:02.360 The risk is really low.

00:51:04.960 And especially since I'm male

00:51:06.700 and it seems that the risk

00:51:08.220 is more for females, 0.98

00:51:09.480 for this J&J,

00:51:11.500 I'm really waiting for this one

00:51:14.180 to come available.

00:51:15.420 Because this is the one

00:51:16.480 that I would run to.

00:51:18.360 Like, at the moment,

00:51:19.600 I'm sort of waiting

00:51:20.940 for the availability to get better.

00:51:23.500 I just talked to somebody

00:51:25.220 who got the shot in my area.

00:51:27.660 How long do you think

00:51:28.440 somebody had to wait

00:51:29.460 in their car

00:51:31.000 to get a vaccination

00:51:33.620 in my area?

00:51:34.940 Take a guess.

00:51:36.300 How long does somebody

00:51:37.420 just wait

00:51:38.200 in Northern California

00:51:39.840 to get the vaccination?

00:51:42.900 Five hours.

00:51:45.960 Five hours.

00:51:48.040 In a car

00:51:49.040 waiting for the vaccination.

00:51:51.100 I'm not going to wait

00:51:52.560 five hours in my car

00:51:53.600 for a vaccination.

00:51:54.960 You're going to have to get

00:51:55.960 a little better than that.

00:51:57.520 So if this J&J vaccine

00:51:59.400 becomes back

00:52:01.140 in availability,

00:52:03.940 I'm hoping that one

00:52:05.440 will have a shorter line

00:52:06.720 if you know what I mean.

00:52:08.340 So I'm going to be

00:52:09.080 all over that one.

00:52:10.440 I hope that that one

00:52:11.260 comes through.

00:52:15.100 Let me give you an update

00:52:16.060 on the Dilber NFT.

00:52:17.600 If you know what they are,

00:52:18.440 it's digital art

00:52:19.780 that's tied to the blockchain.

00:52:22.320 So the blockchain

00:52:22.900 tells you that you have

00:52:24.040 the one and only original.

00:52:26.060 And so there's a Dilber NFT,

00:52:27.500 two of them,

00:52:28.080 one with a clean punchline

00:52:30.740 and one with the F word

00:52:32.020 and the punchline.

00:52:33.300 And I just wanted

00:52:33.800 to give you the current number

00:52:36.200 is the one with the F word

00:52:38.980 is selling for,

00:52:40.040 or at least the auction number

00:52:41.160 so far,

00:52:42.380 is ten times

00:52:43.340 as much as the clean one.

00:52:44.460 So in terms of collectability,

00:52:48.060 the naughty one

00:52:48.740 is ten times more valuable.

00:52:50.820 The real bidding

00:52:51.760 won't happen

00:52:52.440 until the last day

00:52:53.440 of the auction,

00:52:54.360 so you can't really tell

00:52:55.240 what it'll go for now.

00:52:57.360 But I think it's May 1st

00:52:59.280 is the last day

00:52:59.840 of the auction.

00:53:00.880 But the naughty one's

00:53:01.980 up to $12,000

00:53:02.920 and there's not really

00:53:05.460 a strong reason

00:53:07.140 for anybody to bid

00:53:08.100 until it gets close

00:53:08.940 to the last day.

00:53:10.180 So we'll see

00:53:10.700 where that goes.

00:53:11.600 Somebody was accusing me

00:53:14.340 of being a grifter

00:53:15.160 for being in this NFT market.

00:53:18.760 Let me talk about

00:53:19.860 the definition of a grifter.

00:53:21.900 If you're doing something

00:53:23.200 where you're trying

00:53:23.720 to fool somebody

00:53:25.100 into believing something

00:53:26.100 that's not true,

00:53:27.160 you might be a grifter.

00:53:28.620 If you tell them

00:53:29.600 exactly what you're doing

00:53:31.000 and show your work

00:53:32.420 with full transparency,

00:53:34.460 that could never be grifting.

00:53:37.180 Right?

00:53:37.700 So I'm seeing in the comments

00:53:39.040 you're saying,

00:53:39.780 tulips for sale,

00:53:42.540 grifter,

00:53:43.960 right?

00:53:44.640 Does anybody argue

00:53:45.780 with the point

00:53:46.440 that as long as

00:53:47.360 you're fully transparent,

00:53:48.940 you couldn't be grifting?

00:53:51.400 Because there's nothing hidden.

00:53:54.160 Right?

00:53:54.820 Nor is there anything

00:53:55.720 especially persuasive.

00:53:57.560 There's not even anything

00:53:58.720 manipulative to it.

00:54:00.340 So the cartoon itself,

00:54:02.660 the one that is the NFT,

00:54:04.460 literally says

00:54:05.520 that NFTs don't have any value.

00:54:07.960 That's the topic

00:54:08.660 of the cartoon.

00:54:10.220 And when I talk about it,

00:54:11.320 I tell you there's no reason

00:54:12.240 to own one.

00:54:13.680 But people collect things

00:54:15.020 for whatever reason,

00:54:16.260 so I'm not going to stop them.

00:54:17.880 I'm making it available.

00:54:19.380 Yeah.

00:54:20.420 So look at the names

00:54:22.040 that people are calling me.

00:54:23.400 Huckster.

00:54:25.080 Tulips.

00:54:26.880 Now,

00:54:27.940 you have to examine yourself,

00:54:30.360 don't you?

00:54:31.340 Because what it feels like,

00:54:33.040 I can't read your mind,

00:54:34.580 but what it feels like

00:54:35.680 is people being angry

00:54:37.140 that I could make money on this.

00:54:39.780 doesn't it feel like

00:54:42.180 that's all that's going on?

00:54:44.800 Because remember,

00:54:45.980 we're a free country.

00:54:47.180 I've completely shown my work.

00:54:49.140 I've told you

00:54:49.900 there's no reason to buy it.

00:54:51.820 I told you,

00:54:52.960 there's no reason to buy it.

00:54:54.240 I don't think I can be

00:54:55.960 more transparent than that.

00:54:59.880 Right?

00:55:02.260 But still,

00:55:03.180 people have that feeling

00:55:04.300 that you don't like

00:55:05.820 other people to succeed.

00:55:08.440 There is a theory

00:55:09.600 that what makes Democrats

00:55:10.740 and Republicans different

00:55:13.200 is how happy you are

00:55:15.300 for somebody else's success.

00:55:17.640 Let's test that.

00:55:20.360 When I see that people

00:55:21.860 are successful,

00:55:24.180 I can definitely feel

00:55:26.100 like pangs of jealousy

00:55:27.580 if they did something

00:55:28.720 I didn't do,

00:55:29.640 or if somebody's a billionaire

00:55:31.180 and I'm not a billionaire,

00:55:32.740 I can feel it.

00:55:33.780 A little bit of,

00:55:34.480 I wish I had that.

00:55:35.920 But I'm always happy for them.

00:55:39.100 I mean,

00:55:39.320 you can be jealous

00:55:39.960 and happy at the same time.

00:55:42.220 So,

00:55:43.500 how do you feel

00:55:45.960 when people are successful

00:55:48.260 around you?

00:55:49.520 So that's my question.

00:55:50.560 In the comments,

00:55:52.080 tell me how you feel

00:55:53.660 when you hear

00:55:54.580 that somebody else

00:55:55.400 has succeeded

00:55:56.140 in a big way.

00:55:57.780 Do you feel happy?

00:56:00.140 Or does it bother you

00:56:01.480 a little bit?

00:56:02.260 Do you feel like,

00:56:03.140 I don't think the way

00:56:04.320 they did it is good,

00:56:06.140 or I think they must have

00:56:07.640 stolen something,

00:56:08.660 or there must be

00:56:09.400 something wrong,

00:56:10.320 or something.

00:56:12.680 Somebody says inspired.

00:56:15.660 Here's a,

00:56:17.820 so Brock Justnick

00:56:20.160 says he would feel

00:56:20.960 inspired by somebody

00:56:22.700 else successful.

00:56:24.160 That, my friends,

00:56:25.840 is a winning attitude.

00:56:27.920 If you're feeling

00:56:28.940 about other people's success

00:56:30.440 is,

00:56:31.700 wow,

00:56:32.560 maybe I can do that too,

00:56:34.700 then you are

00:56:35.520 in good shape.

00:56:36.720 If you're feeling

00:56:37.360 about somebody else's

00:56:38.200 success is,

00:56:39.000 they probably stole it,

00:56:41.760 they didn't deserve it,

00:56:43.400 they're grifting,

00:56:44.700 they're hucksters,

00:56:46.740 you're going to fail.

00:56:49.580 You're going to fail.

00:56:50.520 It's almost,

00:56:51.060 you can almost predict it.

00:56:52.660 In fact,

00:56:53.260 if you were doing

00:56:53.860 job interviews,

00:56:55.360 and you gave me

00:56:56.420 a choice of just

00:56:57.140 throwing away

00:56:57.860 people's resumes

00:56:58.700 so I don't even know

00:56:59.680 what their experience is,

00:57:01.220 but they could just

00:57:01.940 answer a few questions,

00:57:04.000 how do you feel

00:57:04.980 about this?

00:57:05.500 You couldn't get

00:57:06.340 an honest answer,

00:57:07.900 but imagine you could

00:57:08.800 get an honest answer.

00:57:10.220 I feel the way

00:57:10.980 they would answer

00:57:11.560 a few questions

00:57:12.520 about other people's

00:57:13.740 success,

00:57:14.780 and about their own

00:57:15.980 ability to be successful,

00:57:17.680 that they have agency

00:57:18.880 and the ability

00:57:19.620 to be successful,

00:57:20.920 I feel like that would

00:57:21.900 tell me everything

00:57:22.460 I needed.

00:57:23.920 Because if somebody

00:57:24.640 comes in and says,

00:57:25.920 I believe that my

00:57:27.380 success is entirely

00:57:28.420 up to me,

00:57:29.580 what do you think

00:57:30.520 they've done

00:57:30.900 up to that point?

00:57:31.680 They probably

00:57:33.220 worked really hard

00:57:34.200 to build a set

00:57:35.960 of talents,

00:57:36.620 go to school,

00:57:37.780 stay in a jail, 0.93

00:57:39.340 because you know

00:57:40.040 that's their philosophy.

00:57:41.060 Of course they were

00:57:41.700 following it,

00:57:42.400 if you believed

00:57:42.900 it's their philosophy.

00:57:44.600 So I feel like

00:57:45.780 you could boil down

00:57:47.900 somebody's entire

00:57:49.160 economic value

00:57:51.420 within capitalism.

00:57:53.200 Their entire

00:57:53.740 economic value

00:57:54.740 could be predicted

00:57:55.620 almost entirely

00:57:56.560 by that attitude,

00:57:59.080 whether they think

00:57:59.900 that their hard work

00:58:01.040 is what makes

00:58:01.620 them successful,

00:58:02.720 where it's mostly

00:58:03.600 about race and luck

00:58:04.920 and who you were

00:58:06.100 born to and who

00:58:07.460 you know and all

00:58:08.300 that stuff.

00:58:10.400 Jay says,

00:58:11.500 sometimes Scott

00:58:12.280 really is truly

00:58:13.260 a boomer.

00:58:14.780 All right,

00:58:15.160 Jay,

00:58:15.840 I'm going to

00:58:16.620 erase you. 0.83

00:58:22.820 Because probably

00:58:24.260 the most

00:58:24.940 bankrupt opinion,

00:58:28.020 the most empty

00:58:29.500 opinion that you

00:58:30.820 could ever say

00:58:31.520 is somebody's

00:58:32.960 acting like a

00:58:33.700 boomer.

00:58:34.980 You're acting

00:58:35.500 like a boomer.

00:58:37.320 Now,

00:58:37.820 sometimes that's

00:58:38.520 funny.

00:58:39.260 Like,

00:58:39.620 there's a context

00:58:40.380 when it's funny

00:58:41.060 because you

00:58:41.540 recognize,

00:58:41.960 oh yeah,

00:58:42.260 that is a boomer

00:58:42.900 thing.

00:58:43.500 And I think

00:58:43.940 those are funny

00:58:44.480 too,

00:58:45.040 because I do

00:58:45.720 recognize how

00:58:46.400 often I fall

00:58:48.160 into the stereotype.

00:58:50.540 But here's the

00:58:51.100 thing,

00:58:51.900 you're just being

00:58:52.540 useless.

00:58:52.960 just throwing me

00:58:56.960 into a group

00:58:57.840 is just the

00:58:59.160 most useless

00:58:59.760 thing you

00:59:00.220 could do.

00:59:01.220 And you

00:59:01.640 need to go

00:59:02.700 examine your

00:59:03.400 life.

00:59:04.200 Because if you

00:59:04.720 thought that was

00:59:05.260 a good comment

00:59:06.100 and one that

00:59:07.620 the society

00:59:08.500 needed or

00:59:09.320 somehow helping

00:59:10.120 you or

00:59:10.700 entertained you,

00:59:11.460 there's just

00:59:11.780 something wrong

00:59:12.340 with you.

00:59:13.580 Right?

00:59:14.940 There's just

00:59:15.480 something wrong

00:59:15.980 with you.

00:59:16.320 if tying me

00:59:18.440 into a category

00:59:19.840 is somehow

00:59:20.980 important to

00:59:21.720 you.

00:59:22.380 If that was

00:59:23.240 a priority,

00:59:24.540 like that's

00:59:24.960 what you

00:59:25.180 thought,

00:59:25.460 oh,

00:59:25.660 this will be

00:59:26.040 important,

00:59:26.940 let me tie

00:59:27.900 him to a

00:59:28.400 category.

00:59:30.160 Why the

00:59:30.820 fuck?

00:59:31.580 Really?

00:59:32.000 What good

00:59:32.340 was that?

00:59:35.720 Here's another

00:59:36.440 idiot. 0.79

00:59:37.060 I'm going to

00:59:37.380 call out just

00:59:37.880 the idiots

00:59:38.300 today.

00:59:39.440 Rustic says,

00:59:40.940 in all caps,

00:59:42.200 Scott has

00:59:42.900 thin skin,

00:59:43.940 question mark.

00:59:46.320 Has anybody

00:59:47.660 paid attention

00:59:48.500 to anything

00:59:49.180 I've done

00:59:49.680 for the last

00:59:50.200 five years?

00:59:51.500 If there's

00:59:51.940 anything I

00:59:52.460 don't have,

00:59:53.020 it's thin

00:59:53.480 skin.

00:59:54.560 You don't

00:59:55.280 do this

00:59:55.800 job if you

00:59:56.920 have thin

00:59:57.360 skin.

00:59:59.100 I couldn't

00:59:59.940 possibly wake

01:00:00.760 up in the

01:00:01.180 morning and

01:00:02.200 do what I

01:00:02.720 do day

01:00:03.220 after day

01:00:03.940 with just

01:00:05.580 withering.

01:00:07.000 You should

01:00:07.440 see the

01:00:08.860 messages I

01:00:09.540 get every

01:00:10.000 day.

01:00:11.080 Every day

01:00:11.780 I get more

01:00:13.220 criticism than

01:00:14.200 you will ever

01:00:14.860 get in your

01:00:15.900 whole fucking

01:00:16.800 worthless life.

01:00:19.160 And I

01:00:20.160 don't think I've

01:00:20.700 ever gone to

01:00:21.260 sleep feeling

01:00:21.720 bad about it.

01:00:22.460 Not once.

01:00:24.500 Now, if you

01:00:26.180 can't tell the

01:00:26.780 difference between

01:00:27.560 thick skin and

01:00:28.900 thin skin, you 0.99

01:00:30.900 are so far from

01:00:31.940 understanding anything

01:00:32.920 about your

01:00:33.500 fucking world.

01:00:35.720 And I feel

01:00:36.540 sorry for you.

01:00:38.680 Some of this is

01:00:39.680 genetic.

01:00:40.360 I think maybe

01:00:41.140 so.

01:00:42.020 A lot of it is

01:00:42.700 practiced, but it's

01:00:43.900 hard to sort out

01:00:44.620 how much is

01:00:45.140 practice and

01:00:46.900 a skill to

01:00:48.780 be thick

01:00:49.720 skinned and

01:00:50.660 how much is

01:00:51.100 natural.

01:00:52.480 Then why are

01:00:53.440 you angry

01:00:53.900 now?

01:00:55.300 Do I seem

01:00:55.800 angry?

01:00:59.880 You haven't

01:01:00.720 seen me angry.

01:01:02.200 Maybe you

01:01:02.620 have.

01:01:03.540 But I

01:01:05.200 try really

01:01:05.780 hard to not

01:01:06.880 be angry

01:01:07.520 because you

01:01:08.900 don't want to

01:01:09.320 see me angry.

01:01:09.920 that's a

01:01:12.920 level that I'm

01:01:14.040 pretty sure

01:01:14.580 you've never

01:01:15.040 seen on

01:01:15.560 video, but

01:01:16.940 you don't

01:01:17.260 want to see

01:01:17.680 that.

01:01:18.800 And this

01:01:19.300 isn't that.

01:01:20.820 This is a

01:01:22.280 condemnation,

01:01:23.220 let's say.

01:01:24.040 I'm condemning

01:01:25.000 you because I

01:01:26.480 think it's good

01:01:27.100 for life.

01:01:28.280 There should be

01:01:28.760 less of you.

01:01:32.020 It's good for

01:01:32.840 the world.

01:01:33.680 It's good for

01:01:34.440 the world if

01:01:35.100 people like you

01:01:35.840 are slapped

01:01:36.300 down.

01:01:37.200 The people who

01:01:37.980 are just bad,

01:01:38.620 bad for the

01:01:39.560 world, and

01:01:40.480 don't have

01:01:40.800 anything useful

01:01:41.400 to say.

01:01:41.820 They should

01:01:42.120 be slapped

01:01:42.540 down.

01:01:49.200 Yeah, one

01:01:50.720 of the reasons

01:01:51.300 somebody was

01:01:52.580 asking me

01:01:52.960 yesterday if

01:01:53.500 I've ever

01:01:53.860 been in a

01:01:54.360 fight, like

01:01:55.100 a physical

01:01:55.520 fight, and

01:01:56.620 I've been in

01:01:57.160 physical

01:01:57.580 altercations,

01:01:58.600 but usually I

01:01:59.180 was just

01:01:59.480 beating somebody

01:02:00.180 up.

01:02:01.140 Not usually,

01:02:02.000 the only times

01:02:02.680 it's happened,

01:02:03.640 I was just

01:02:04.140 beating the

01:02:04.540 hell out of

01:02:04.920 somebody.

01:02:05.700 Now, in

01:02:06.160 both of those

01:02:06.680 cases, they

01:02:07.220 were bullies

01:02:07.840 who had

01:02:08.600 been my

01:02:09.060 bully, and

01:02:10.040 I just

01:02:10.380 reached a

01:02:11.020 level where

01:02:11.520 I needed to

01:02:12.200 just beat

01:02:12.800 the shit

01:02:13.120 out of

01:02:13.420 them in

01:02:14.560 front of

01:02:14.880 other people

01:02:15.440 to make

01:02:16.340 the problem

01:02:16.780 go away, 0.98

01:02:17.340 which works

01:02:18.020 wonderfully, by

01:02:18.980 the way.

01:02:19.620 I don't

01:02:19.920 recommend it

01:02:20.640 in 2021.

01:02:22.060 You'll just

01:02:22.360 go to jail

01:02:22.880 if you beat

01:02:23.320 somebody up.

01:02:24.380 But back

01:02:24.840 when I was

01:02:25.220 a kid, if

01:02:26.040 you just

01:02:26.300 beat the

01:02:26.640 shit out of

01:02:27.080 somebody in

01:02:27.780 front of

01:02:28.080 witnesses, it

01:02:29.740 would solve

01:02:30.180 your bully

01:02:30.620 problem pretty

01:02:31.420 well.

01:02:32.200 But I've

01:02:32.880 noticed that

01:02:33.500 neither of the

01:02:34.520 bullies fought

01:02:35.060 back, they 0.95

01:02:36.560 just took it.

01:02:37.240 And I've

01:02:38.560 noticed that

01:02:39.040 not once in

01:02:39.720 my entire

01:02:40.180 life has

01:02:41.340 anybody been

01:02:42.640 in a physical

01:02:43.480 confrontation with

01:02:44.540 me that turned

01:02:45.100 into a fight.

01:02:46.460 And I've

01:02:47.080 always wondered

01:02:47.540 about that.

01:02:48.900 Because in

01:02:50.000 the comments,

01:02:50.580 by the way,

01:02:50.980 those of you

01:02:51.520 who are male,

01:02:53.200 how many fights

01:02:54.080 have you been

01:02:54.540 in?

01:02:55.520 It's not

01:02:56.120 zero, is it?

01:02:57.760 It's not

01:02:58.140 zero.

01:02:58.560 But I would

01:02:58.900 say I've

01:02:59.240 been in zero

01:03:00.020 fights where

01:03:02.360 the other

01:03:02.760 person is

01:03:03.260 fighting back.

01:03:05.520 I think

01:03:06.140 zero.

01:03:06.800 Yeah, look

01:03:07.120 at the

01:03:07.340 numbers.

01:03:08.500 That's what

01:03:09.000 it's like to

01:03:09.420 be a man.

01:03:10.680 A man in

01:03:11.300 America, or 0.55

01:03:11.940 anybody, any

01:03:12.640 place, I

01:03:13.020 guess.

01:03:13.660 Look at the

01:03:14.160 number of

01:03:14.680 fights they've

01:03:15.160 been in.

01:03:15.580 15, 50,

01:03:17.080 2, 1,

01:03:18.620 3, 0.

01:03:21.760 I don't know

01:03:22.220 how you did

01:03:22.560 that, but

01:03:23.340 okay.

01:03:25.560 And I've

01:03:26.200 always wondered

01:03:26.760 if that's

01:03:27.420 because I

01:03:28.100 look scary to

01:03:29.160 other people.

01:03:29.760 because I've

01:03:33.200 always thought

01:03:33.580 the scariest

01:03:34.280 thing you can

01:03:36.200 encounter is

01:03:36.820 somebody who's

01:03:37.300 not afraid of

01:03:38.020 you.

01:03:39.520 That's the

01:03:40.120 scariest thing.

01:03:41.360 Because if you

01:03:41.960 get in a fight

01:03:42.560 with somebody

01:03:43.120 who's not

01:03:45.320 going to ever

01:03:45.960 quit, and

01:03:47.140 is not going

01:03:47.620 to run away,

01:03:48.800 and is going

01:03:49.260 to finish you

01:03:49.920 off, you

01:03:51.120 don't want to

01:03:51.500 be in that

01:03:51.900 fight.

01:03:53.400 Right?

01:03:54.080 And it

01:03:54.460 doesn't even

01:03:54.840 matter if

01:03:55.300 physically you

01:03:56.440 have more

01:03:57.160 skills or

01:03:57.860 whatever.

01:03:58.720 You just

01:03:59.380 don't want

01:03:59.860 to get in

01:04:00.140 a fight

01:04:00.380 with anybody

01:04:01.160 who's not

01:04:02.060 going to

01:04:02.340 ever quit.

01:04:04.060 And my

01:04:04.800 view is there

01:04:05.380 are only two

01:04:05.880 kinds of

01:04:06.300 fights that

01:04:06.840 are worth

01:04:07.120 having.

01:04:09.320 One is the

01:04:10.100 one you know

01:04:10.620 you're going

01:04:10.920 to win.

01:04:12.000 That's worth

01:04:12.600 having.

01:04:13.480 And if it

01:04:14.140 looks like

01:04:14.500 you're going

01:04:14.780 to lose,

01:04:15.260 you should

01:04:15.560 run away.

01:04:16.880 And then

01:04:17.540 come back and

01:04:18.680 kill the

01:04:19.000 person when

01:04:19.500 they're not

01:04:19.780 looking.

01:04:21.700 If it was

01:04:22.360 worth fighting

01:04:22.880 in the first

01:04:23.260 place.

01:04:23.900 So I would

01:04:24.560 never get in

01:04:25.020 a fight unless

01:04:25.800 it was worth

01:04:26.300 killing somebody.

01:04:27.660 Which is

01:04:28.120 probably why I've

01:04:28.920 never been

01:04:29.300 in a proper

01:04:30.120 fight.

01:04:30.860 If it's not

01:04:31.600 worth killing

01:04:32.120 somebody, I'm

01:04:32.660 not even

01:04:32.940 going to get

01:04:33.300 involved.

01:04:34.240 And if it

01:04:34.800 is worth

01:04:35.220 killing them

01:04:35.760 and they

01:04:36.680 start winning,

01:04:38.020 I'm going to

01:04:38.480 run away and

01:04:39.840 then come back

01:04:40.380 and kill them 0.96

01:04:40.840 when they're

01:04:41.120 not looking.

01:04:43.240 That's my

01:04:43.900 philosophy.

01:04:44.720 If somebody's

01:04:45.540 worth killing,

01:04:47.260 it's worth

01:04:47.640 waiting.

01:04:49.320 It's worth

01:04:50.000 waiting.

01:04:51.320 So if there's

01:04:52.040 anybody out there

01:04:52.840 who's done

01:04:53.440 anything to me

01:04:54.180 that they

01:04:55.920 think is

01:04:56.600 worthy of

01:04:57.480 me killing

01:04:57.900 them, just

01:04:59.300 know that if

01:05:00.600 it hasn't

01:05:01.060 happened yet,

01:05:02.540 it doesn't

01:05:03.600 mean it

01:05:03.900 won't.

01:05:05.200 I'm willing

01:05:05.940 to wait as

01:05:06.720 long as it

01:05:07.180 takes.

01:05:09.760 You can't

01:05:10.560 tell if I'm

01:05:10.940 kidding.

01:05:11.880 And that's

01:05:12.260 good.

01:05:14.120 If we've

01:05:14.880 learned anything

01:05:15.480 from President

01:05:16.720 Trump, it was

01:05:17.640 that unpredictability

01:05:18.920 is a natural

01:05:21.180 advantage.

01:05:23.680 So as long

01:05:24.580 as you don't

01:05:25.100 know, that's

01:05:26.420 to my benefit.

01:05:29.200 Getting closer

01:05:30.000 to being

01:05:30.340 canceled.

01:05:31.720 Are you

01:05:32.300 tall?

01:05:34.320 No, I'm

01:05:34.600 not tall.

01:05:36.700 Which is a

01:05:37.400 good question.

01:05:38.160 Because if

01:05:38.740 you're big,

01:05:39.400 people don't

01:05:39.920 want to get

01:05:40.260 in a fight

01:05:40.620 with you.

01:05:46.760 Somebody

01:05:47.200 says what

01:05:47.840 he says,

01:05:48.280 Asperger's

01:05:49.160 is a

01:05:49.480 talent stack

01:05:50.160 creator.

01:05:51.000 We have

01:05:51.240 to learn

01:05:51.640 more than

01:05:52.100 others to

01:05:52.740 fit in.

01:05:53.960 Well, Woody,

01:05:55.000 that's true.

01:05:57.460 That's true.

01:05:58.720 Yeah.

01:06:01.120 One of

01:06:02.840 the national

01:06:04.060 assets we

01:06:05.720 have in

01:06:05.960 this country

01:06:06.460 is all

01:06:07.360 the Asperger's

01:06:08.500 types.

01:06:10.120 Because

01:06:10.640 it's the

01:06:12.340 strangest

01:06:12.980 condition,

01:06:14.080 if you will,

01:06:14.500 which is

01:06:14.840 it's very

01:06:15.360 difficult for

01:06:16.080 the persons

01:06:16.540 who have

01:06:17.020 it.

01:06:17.240 like it

01:06:18.020 creates

01:06:18.400 extra

01:06:18.840 challenges

01:06:19.280 socially,

01:06:19.920 et cetera.

01:06:20.800 But they're

01:06:21.360 sort of

01:06:21.700 national

01:06:22.100 assets.

01:06:23.960 Like, you

01:06:24.200 know, who

01:06:24.420 is it that's

01:06:25.240 inventing all

01:06:25.860 the technology?

01:06:26.800 Who's, you

01:06:27.620 know, there's

01:06:28.120 just stuff

01:06:28.980 that the

01:06:30.280 Asperger's

01:06:30.900 people are

01:06:31.300 doing for

01:06:31.780 America and

01:06:32.500 for the

01:06:32.740 world that's

01:06:34.040 just insanely

01:06:35.500 valuable.

01:06:36.020 only losers

01:06:42.620 hate when

01:06:43.200 other people

01:06:43.700 make money?

01:06:45.380 How many

01:06:45.680 of you are,

01:06:46.700 by the way,

01:06:47.520 I know from

01:06:48.500 history that I

01:06:49.260 attract a lot

01:06:50.080 of Asperger

01:06:50.800 types for

01:06:51.940 my content.

01:06:53.240 How many of

01:06:53.840 you are on

01:06:54.440 the spectrum?

01:06:55.760 This will be

01:06:56.180 interesting.

01:06:57.460 So take a

01:06:58.120 second for the

01:06:59.120 comments to come

01:06:59.700 in.

01:07:00.180 How many of

01:07:00.900 you watching

01:07:01.540 this right

01:07:02.040 now are on

01:07:03.220 the spectrum?

01:07:05.340 Wait till you

01:07:06.180 see this.

01:07:06.640 You're going

01:07:06.820 to be surprised.

01:07:09.460 Here it

01:07:10.020 comes.

01:07:10.620 I am.

01:07:11.380 Yep.

01:07:12.520 Nope.

01:07:13.260 Yes.

01:07:13.660 Not me.

01:07:14.840 My wife

01:07:15.300 says I am.

01:07:16.420 Yes.

01:07:16.940 My son is.

01:07:17.740 Not officially.

01:07:18.720 Maybe.

01:07:19.780 My kid is.

01:07:20.840 My husband.

01:07:21.560 Barely on it.

01:07:22.340 Yes.

01:07:22.780 Yes.

01:07:23.640 Nope.

01:07:24.080 Me.

01:07:24.700 Me.

01:07:24.900 Me.

01:07:25.080 Me.

01:07:25.620 Nope.

01:07:25.880 Nope.

01:07:26.100 Nope.

01:07:28.100 Crikey.

01:07:28.940 Maybe.

01:07:30.000 I think my

01:07:30.560 husband could be.

01:07:31.280 I suspect I

01:07:33.080 am.

01:07:33.560 Never diagnosed

01:07:34.400 but I think I

01:07:35.100 am.

01:07:35.520 Yepers.

01:07:38.400 Are you

01:07:39.320 impressed?

01:07:41.420 There's probably

01:07:42.600 no group that I

01:07:43.860 attract to my

01:07:44.880 content more

01:07:46.260 reliably than

01:07:47.400 the Asperger's

01:07:48.500 folks.

01:07:50.560 Look at these

01:07:51.080 comments.

01:07:51.720 This is blowing

01:07:52.440 you away,

01:07:52.940 isn't it?

01:07:53.860 Because think

01:07:54.340 about the

01:07:54.840 percentage in

01:07:55.620 the population

01:07:56.240 in general and

01:07:57.020 then look at

01:07:57.440 my comments.

01:07:58.860 Yeah.

01:07:59.140 It's filled

01:07:59.500 with them.

01:07:59.800 Now part

01:08:00.900 of it is

01:08:01.400 somebody asked

01:08:02.460 me the

01:08:02.680 question in

01:08:03.040 the comments

01:08:03.380 if I'm

01:08:04.100 Asperger's

01:08:04.800 or if I'm

01:08:05.360 on the

01:08:05.900 spectrum.

01:08:06.680 And the

01:08:06.880 answer is

01:08:07.400 I don't

01:08:08.340 quite know.

01:08:09.760 I don't

01:08:10.000 quite know.

01:08:11.000 Because it's

01:08:11.600 not exactly

01:08:13.420 well defined,

01:08:14.300 is it?

01:08:15.780 My personal

01:08:16.980 opinion is

01:08:17.900 maybe not.

01:08:20.100 But if I

01:08:20.780 am, I'd be

01:08:21.500 sort of on

01:08:22.060 the, I

01:08:22.480 don't know,

01:08:23.100 at one end

01:08:23.820 of the scale.

01:08:24.920 A little bit,

01:08:25.920 maybe.

01:08:26.400 I don't know.

01:08:26.800 I feel

01:08:27.620 not, but

01:08:28.920 I feel like

01:08:29.440 I'm close

01:08:30.000 enough that

01:08:31.640 I, you

01:08:32.340 know, I

01:08:32.660 feel like I'm

01:08:33.500 within breathing

01:08:35.060 distance of

01:08:35.840 it, meaning

01:08:36.900 that I'm so

01:08:37.480 compatible with

01:08:38.500 it, it would

01:08:39.420 be hard to

01:08:39.900 imagine I'm

01:08:40.540 not on the

01:08:41.520 spectrum.

01:08:42.860 Is that a

01:08:43.500 thing?

01:08:44.020 Being compatible

01:08:44.980 with the

01:08:45.500 spectrum without

01:08:46.120 being on it?

01:08:47.580 I don't know

01:08:48.240 if that's even

01:08:48.740 a thing.

01:08:51.640 Just identify.

01:08:52.660 Oh, somebody

01:08:54.780 says my

01:08:55.360 conversation is

01:08:56.420 too good.

01:08:57.620 Yeah, you

01:08:57.960 know, there's

01:08:59.760 all kinds of

01:09:00.320 different functionality,

01:09:03.360 but I would

01:09:04.220 imagine I'm

01:09:04.900 not, but I

01:09:05.620 don't know.

01:09:11.400 Gates here.

01:09:14.200 All right.

01:09:15.880 So that's all

01:09:16.860 for now, and

01:09:17.620 I will talk to

01:09:18.320 you all

01:09:18.840 tomorrow.

01:09:20.080 and, yeah,

01:09:23.760 it is

01:09:23.940 interesting,

01:09:24.440 isn't it?

01:09:25.900 It is

01:09:26.540 interesting.

01:09:27.440 That'll give

01:09:28.040 you something

01:09:28.360 to think

01:09:28.800 about.

01:09:29.300 Think about

01:09:29.860 why there

01:09:31.280 are so many

01:09:31.840 people on the

01:09:33.180 spectrum who

01:09:33.860 follow my

01:09:34.360 content.

01:09:35.700 And when you

01:09:36.180 figure that

01:09:36.660 out, it's

01:09:39.200 going to be

01:09:39.480 interesting.

01:09:40.440 I'll give you

01:09:41.120 my hypothesis.

01:09:43.460 Well, a couple

01:09:44.120 of hypotheses.

01:09:45.100 One, of course,

01:09:45.780 is that I make

01:09:46.280 the Dilbert

01:09:46.680 comic, and you

01:09:47.720 can imagine

01:09:48.160 easily that

01:09:48.740 Dilbert's on

01:09:49.200 the spectrum.

01:09:50.080 And I make

01:09:51.520 it that way.

01:09:52.500 So, you know,

01:09:53.140 I've got that

01:09:53.640 natural compatibility.

01:09:56.120 But also, I

01:09:57.820 try to remove

01:09:58.640 the emotion

01:09:59.800 from decisions,

01:10:01.360 which I believe

01:10:02.580 is quite

01:10:03.040 compatible if

01:10:04.920 you're on the

01:10:05.320 spectrum, because

01:10:06.200 you like to see

01:10:07.100 the emotion

01:10:07.820 stripped out so

01:10:09.040 you can see

01:10:09.500 what's left, and

01:10:10.640 then I can add

01:10:11.280 it back in, and

01:10:12.140 then people can

01:10:12.940 see the whole

01:10:13.520 structure.

01:10:14.480 So I think

01:10:14.980 that's what's

01:10:15.460 going on, but

01:10:16.180 I don't know.

01:10:17.580 So that's all

01:10:18.340 I've got for

01:10:18.640 now, and I'll

01:10:19.120 talk to you

01:10:19.600 tomorrow.
