00:00:00.880 La-da-da-da-da.
00:00:04.400 Hello, everybody.
00:00:06.340 Come on in. Come on in. It's time.
00:00:08.840 Time for coffee with Scott Adams.
00:00:10.360 The best part of the day every single time.
00:00:14.220 Oh, yeah, we'll talk about all the stuff.
00:00:16.800 All the real news, all the fake news.
00:00:20.220 And, uh, but first,
00:00:22.060 if you'd like to enjoy it,
00:00:24.580 at a 10 out of 10,
00:00:26.700 why would you settle for less?
00:00:28.040 Really? No reason.
00:00:30.380 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tanker gels
00:00:32.700 to dine a canteen jug or a flask of a vessel of any kind
00:00:34.700 and fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:36.760 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine here of the day,
00:00:39.640 the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:40.640 It's called the simultaneous sip.
00:00:43.120 Yeah, it made you rush, didn't I?
00:00:45.560 You're like, where's my cup? Where's my mug?
00:00:47.460 Where's my vessel?
00:00:48.760 Well, now you got it.
00:00:50.200 Get ready for the best thing that's going to happen today
00:00:53.200 all over the world.
00:00:54.300 The simultaneous sip.
00:00:56.100 It happens now. Go.
00:01:00.000 Ah, you know,
00:01:02.740 I don't even remember how this started.
00:01:06.580 But I'm glad we're doing it.
00:01:08.980 All right.
00:01:10.020 Let's talk about all the things.
00:01:11.600 Number one, a big congratulations to Greg Gottfeld.
00:01:17.300 His new show, so in addition to being on The Five on Fox News,
00:01:23.280 he has his now evening show, the 11 p.m. on the East Coast.
00:01:27.140 It's 8 p.m. on the West Coast.
00:01:28.200 And apparently he's just destroying the competition.
00:01:32.040 He just wiped out all competition at that time.
00:01:36.960 So congratulations to Greg Gottfeld for just obliterating the competition.
00:01:42.320 Quite impressive.
00:01:43.680 I think everybody knew that was going to happen.
00:01:45.380 As soon as I heard he was going to have a show in that time spot,
00:01:49.780 I thought to myself, oh, this is going to be fun.
00:01:53.760 And sure enough, it is.
00:01:55.680 The show is really good, by the way.
00:01:57.560 You should watch it.
00:02:00.260 Joy Reid was reporting that when she went for a run yesterday,
00:02:05.100 I guess she wore two masks in addition to being fully vaccinated and running outdoors.
00:02:11.320 So pretty safe.
00:02:13.360 Pretty safe.
00:02:14.180 Two masks and fully vaccinated.
00:02:16.040 Have you noticed there's a weird evolution happening with Joy Reid?
00:02:23.840 And it's happening in her hairstyle,
00:02:26.000 and I'm trying to figure out if this is the simulation tapping me on the shoulder.
00:02:31.440 Have you seen she's gone to this hairstyle where there's like a big puff over here of hair,
00:02:37.680 and then there's another big puff over here,
00:02:40.680 but sort of parted in the middle.
00:02:42.960 And she's becoming a little bit more like the pointy-haired boss in Dilbert every day.
00:02:50.540 And I swear to God, it's all I can see when I look at her.
00:02:53.280 You know, because she used to have a completely different hairstyle.
00:02:55.740 It wasn't close to that.
00:02:57.460 But it just keeps moving a little bit closer to the pointy-haired boss.
00:03:00.760 And I asked myself, is this a case of code reuse?
00:03:05.980 Because the pointy-haired boss would wear two masks and go jogging after being fully vaccinated.
00:03:14.340 So parody and reality have now merged, as I said.
00:03:20.100 There are only three days left to bid on the Dilbert NFT.
00:03:24.840 It's the only Dilbert comic strip that uses the F word.
00:03:27.560 It was never published, of course.
00:03:31.060 But if you would like to own the only Dilbert comic ever that has the F word in it,
00:03:36.740 there's also the clean version if you wanted that one,
00:03:39.940 just you could Google Dilbert NFT or just go to my Twitter feed,
00:03:44.500 and you'll see the link to it in the profile.
00:03:47.600 But it's up to $12,000 now.
00:03:49.780 Somebody's bid $12,000 for that.
00:03:52.040 I think most of the bidding will happen the last day.
00:03:56.040 So you don't want to get to the last day and then find out it's over.
00:03:59.740 Apparently Biden has agreed to help India with vaccines
00:04:03.660 and sending them equipment to help make their own vaccines and stuff.
00:04:08.140 And I have to say this is a good move.
00:04:11.060 You know, as much as I'm all about America first,
00:04:15.860 meaning that I think every country needs to take care of itself first.
00:04:19.500 It has nothing to do with America per se,
00:04:21.760 but it's just a better model if countries take care of themselves first.
00:04:26.280 However, if you have something big, such as a disaster, a world war,
00:04:32.060 that sort of thing, you know, it makes more sense to help each other out.
00:04:36.600 Well, I would note that the way you make allies in this world
00:04:40.440 is doing this stuff.
00:04:41.960 You don't really make allies by talking, right?
00:04:47.120 You make allies by the Marshall Plan,
00:04:50.680 by defending another country in a war.
00:04:53.480 That's how you make an ally.
00:04:55.480 Nothing is really going to happen between the United States and France, right?
00:05:00.120 We could fight all day long,
00:05:01.880 but it's still going to be a sibling rivalry
00:05:03.940 because we have a history that is just such a solid story
00:05:09.980 of France and the United States being, you know, allied at the right times.
00:05:15.320 That's what makes allies.
00:05:16.900 You know, same with other countries.
00:05:19.880 But this was an opportunity in which India is in really dire straits.
00:05:24.820 The United States could help at some expense to people in the United States,
00:05:32.220 meaning that if we help them with vaccines,
00:05:34.820 it might be a little less for us.
00:05:36.900 Although I think we're getting closer to what they call the wall,
00:05:40.020 where there will be more vaccines than there are people willing to take it fairly quickly.
00:05:44.860 So maybe we're not putting ourselves out too much.
00:05:47.920 But I am very much in favor of making India the strongest ally we can make them
00:05:53.420 because China is the big threat in the future
00:05:55.900 and the United States plus India is kind of necessary.
00:06:00.440 It's just necessary.
00:06:02.200 And if this is one of the things that makes us closer,
00:06:04.820 that makes us more reliable allies in the future, good move.
00:06:09.980 So I'm going to say good move for the Joe Biden administration.
00:06:13.280 I'm not going to criticize them for everything just by reflex.
00:06:19.740 Let's talk about all the fake stories and probable fake stories.
00:06:23.060 Are you ready?
00:06:23.700 So here are all the things that are in the news or on social media
00:06:26.280 that I think are fake or have been shown to be fake.
00:06:30.340 There's a story on social media that controversial right-wing figure Nick Fuentes
00:06:36.200 is on a no-fly list.
00:06:40.020 And the story, if you can call it a story,
00:06:43.280 is that there doesn't seem to be a specific trigger for that.
00:06:46.900 Meaning it looks like, on the surface,
00:06:50.820 it looks like he got put on a no-fly zone for saying controversial things.
00:06:58.000 Do you believe that?
00:06:59.680 Do you believe that the...
00:07:01.160 First of all, that it's true, that he's on a no-fly zone.
00:07:04.160 He did have some video of him being rejected for a flight.
00:07:07.400 Actually, in audio.
00:07:09.680 So we know he got...
00:07:11.260 I think we are confident he got rejected for a flight on Southwest.
00:07:16.380 But do you think there's no other reason?
00:07:18.960 And that the story is...
00:07:20.480 That's the whole story.
00:07:21.680 There's no other reason than the things he said in public?
00:07:27.140 Look, I don't believe it.
00:07:31.160 Now, I'm not saying there's a good reason for him to be on a no-fly list.
00:07:35.840 In fact, I'd be really surprised if there's a good reason for that.
00:07:39.280 No matter what he said...
00:07:41.100 And let me be clear, I'm not defending anything he's done or said.
00:07:44.960 He's beyond my safety zone of somebody I can say good things about.
00:07:51.340 It's just not safe.
00:07:52.740 And I don't have a reason to support him.
00:07:55.320 So he can do what he's doing.
00:07:57.820 You know, I don't criticize people for freedom of speech, even if it's offensive.
00:08:03.320 But it's not for me to defend him.
00:08:05.480 I'm just saying I don't believe the story.
00:08:07.920 I don't believe the story that there's no reason or that it happened.
00:08:12.820 One of those is not true.
00:08:14.580 But certainly not the way it's being presented.
00:08:17.800 And I'm not saying that Nick Fuentes is saying anything that's untrue.
00:08:21.420 I think he might actually not know what's going on.
00:08:24.200 It looks like he actually doesn't know why it's happening.
00:08:28.220 So I think he's not lying.
00:08:30.000 I just think there's more to the story.
00:08:32.340 You know the story about John Kerry allegedly telling Iran's foreign minister
00:08:36.880 about 200 Israeli strikes on Syrian targets of Iranian assets.
00:08:43.560 And John Kerry has said unequivocally that never happened.
00:08:48.540 But it also doesn't matter if it happened because it's also been reported that it was in the news
00:08:55.940 before Sharif heard about it.
00:08:59.920 So it was just a news story.
00:09:01.680 So if John Kerry did say this, and he says unequivocally he did not,
00:09:07.380 that it just never happened,
00:09:09.020 even if it did happen, it still isn't the story
00:09:12.300 because it was already in the news before it would have happened, if it happened,
00:09:16.660 and probably didn't.
00:09:19.880 Did you hear the story about every new illegal immigrant
00:09:23.140 would be given a copy of Kamala Harris's book?
00:09:25.940 Well, apparently that's just fake news.
00:09:30.340 Somebody took a picture of one book
00:09:33.060 that may or may not have been in the possession of one immigrant one time.
00:09:39.260 That's it.
00:09:40.820 That's it.
00:09:41.560 There's no truth to it whatsoever.
00:09:43.860 This was like a whole news cycle yesterday.
00:09:46.600 Now, do you see the pattern yet?
00:09:48.820 Do you remember I told you
00:09:50.100 that this pattern you could expect,
00:09:53.120 that there's going to be fake news everywhere,
00:09:56.720 but the party that's out of power will have the most fake news.
00:10:01.100 That happens to be Fox News at the moment
00:10:03.100 because their president is not in office.
00:10:06.060 So you're going to see a lot of fake news coming out of Fox News.
00:10:10.640 There won't be less of it from CNN probably,
00:10:13.380 but you will see a difference in the balance, I think.
00:10:17.320 So the Kamala Harris book thing was never true.
00:10:19.740 A whole news cycle on that.
00:10:20.960 Then there was a story about a private school
00:10:24.580 that's barring vaccinated teachers.
00:10:27.480 So this is in the news today.
00:10:30.080 There's a private school that's saying they won't hire you
00:10:32.800 if you got a vaccination.
00:10:35.460 Is that true?
00:10:38.180 Really?
00:10:40.060 Do you think that's true?
00:10:42.100 Again, you don't have to look into the details.
00:10:45.960 Really?
00:10:47.040 Do you think that's true?
00:10:47.820 Do you think there's a real private school
00:10:49.900 that really said you can't work here if you're vaccinated?
00:10:55.680 Well, maybe.
00:10:57.760 But I think you should assume it's not true.
00:11:00.500 It has every hallmark of a not true story.
00:11:03.460 If that's true,
00:11:05.340 I'm going to be pretty surprised.
00:11:08.440 Now, I don't doubt maybe somebody once speculated about it
00:11:12.180 or maybe somebody said it who's associated with the school
00:11:15.180 or maybe they even noodled about it.
00:11:18.240 But do you think that will be the actual policy going forward?
00:11:22.100 No.
00:11:23.340 No.
00:11:23.540 So I would count on that one to turn into fake news if it's not already.
00:11:33.240 And then, of course, there are lots of videos of police shooting innocent people
00:11:38.260 when, in fact, it doesn't look so innocent to us.
00:11:42.180 So most of the news, if you went by volume,
00:11:44.800 not in terms of importance of stories,
00:11:47.040 but just in numbers,
00:11:48.560 most of them are not true.
00:11:49.660 Most of the news, left and right,
00:11:54.940 just not true.
00:11:57.020 And the stuff that they try to make true
00:11:58.880 is the things they try to make true,
00:12:03.740 they don't really understand well enough to get the story right,
00:12:06.440 the science stuff especially.
00:12:07.900 There's another story here that Kamala Harris
00:12:11.960 was discussing giving Mexicans a pathway to U.S. citizenship
00:12:18.100 in exchange for planting trees in Mexico.
00:12:22.280 So that's today's outrageous story.
00:12:25.280 Does that sound true?
00:12:27.840 Do you think this is true?
00:12:29.980 That Kamala Harris is discussing giving Mexicans
00:12:32.820 a pathway to U.S. citizenship
00:12:34.700 in exchange for planting trees in Mexico?
00:12:39.820 I doubt it.
00:12:41.760 I mean, you know, there's a reason given.
00:12:44.020 The reason given that these trees would, you know,
00:12:47.000 create industries and stuff in Mexico,
00:12:49.280 maybe help with global warming, who knows.
00:12:51.560 So it would be sort of a good thing-ish.
00:12:55.120 But do you believe this story?
00:12:57.740 I'm going to say no on this one.
00:12:59.440 Now, again, I'm going to be wrong on some of these.
00:13:04.440 You know, you should be prepared
00:13:06.300 that I'm going to call fake news on something
00:13:09.260 that ends up true.
00:13:11.760 But I'm feeling pretty confident this one's not true.
00:13:15.980 Just look at the news you got today.
00:13:17.960 It's just one fake story after another.
00:13:20.200 And here's Glenn Greenwald.
00:13:24.180 He was on one of the shows yesterday, I guess.
00:13:28.000 And he was talking about a media trick
00:13:29.640 for making real news disappear.
00:13:32.920 And this is what he said about Hunter Biden's laptop.
00:13:36.080 So Glenn Greenwald said, quote,
00:13:37.360 Everyone knows now that the Hunter Biden documents,
00:13:40.440 including those raising questions
00:13:41.660 about Joe's participation in his China deals,
00:13:44.600 are authentic.
00:13:46.140 But admitting that is a scandal
00:13:48.040 given what they and Facebook did.
00:13:51.100 So they've trained liberals
00:13:53.480 to think any mention of it is trivial.
00:13:57.700 So there are two ways that you can make a story go away.
00:14:01.460 One is to just not mention it.
00:14:03.420 Two is to come up with a fake story narrative
00:14:08.000 that sort of cancels it out.
00:14:10.140 But this third way is diabolical,
00:14:12.620 which is they do mention it,
00:14:14.640 but they brush it aside as unimportant.
00:14:18.560 That's a really good technique.
00:14:20.940 Because if they didn't mention it,
00:14:22.680 you'd wonder why,
00:14:23.860 especially if you heard it from some other source.
00:14:26.780 But if they do mention it
00:14:28.720 and try to explain it away,
00:14:30.260 then you've got something to argue with, right?
00:14:32.080 And then it becomes a debate.
00:14:33.900 Well, can you really explain it away or is it real?
00:14:37.420 But if you simply mention it
00:14:39.100 and then treat it like it's not important,
00:14:41.900 what does your audience think?
00:14:44.620 The audience doesn't know what's important.
00:14:47.560 Have you ever heard the story,
00:14:49.880 what's the phrase,
00:14:52.720 not paper of record,
00:14:54.500 but the newsmaker cites?
00:14:57.520 So within the news industry,
00:14:59.300 it's a well-known phenomenon
00:15:00.620 that although there might be a hundred stories
00:15:04.040 that could be the big story on any day,
00:15:07.540 a hundred candidates for what you should care about,
00:15:10.840 there are only a few news outlets
00:15:12.600 who decide what of those hundred big things happening
00:15:16.260 are the three that you're going to hear about.
00:15:19.560 And they decide,
00:15:20.480 okay, these three are the ones we'll talk about.
00:15:23.640 Now, if your local newspaper,
00:15:25.780 which is gutted of all reporters and everything,
00:15:28.260 if your local newspaper decided,
00:15:30.640 oh, we'll pick this story and talk about it,
00:15:33.340 nobody would care.
00:15:35.480 Just nobody would care.
00:15:36.960 But if the New York Times says,
00:15:38.480 okay, there are a hundred stories,
00:15:39.880 we're going to pick this one,
00:15:41.180 then the other outlets pick it up as well.
00:15:43.760 Because the New York Times effectively
00:15:46.380 turns it into news
00:15:48.420 by saying there are a lot of things happening,
00:15:51.800 but this one is news.
00:15:53.320 And then the others say,
00:15:55.080 oh, New York Times says it's news,
00:15:56.800 we better get on this.
00:15:57.940 That's how everything works.
00:15:59.680 Somebody big has to say it's news,
00:16:02.340 and then everybody cares about it.
00:16:05.820 If the news industry decides to treat
00:16:08.860 something that you would think would be big news
00:16:11.640 as just another thing
00:16:13.120 that's in the hundred things that happened,
00:16:15.100 you will go away thinking it wasn't important.
00:16:18.360 Because if it were important,
00:16:19.920 it would be bigger news.
00:16:22.560 We're so trained
00:16:23.620 that nothing can be important
00:16:25.660 unless the news says it's important,
00:16:28.140 that you won't be able to get your brain there.
00:16:30.780 Your brain will not be able to process
00:16:32.560 that laptop as important
00:16:34.060 because the news just tells you it isn't
00:16:36.700 by the way they treat it.
00:16:39.620 So that's really good technique
00:16:41.740 propaganda-wise and brainwashing-wise.
00:16:45.220 And again, if you're not following Glenn Greenwald,
00:16:48.000 you're missing the best show on Earth right now.
00:16:51.680 No exaggeration.
00:16:52.980 Within the political, let's say, media realm,
00:16:56.560 the best show on Earth
00:16:58.040 is everything Glenn Greenwald says this month.
00:17:01.740 I don't know how long it'll last,
00:17:03.620 but for the last month,
00:17:05.200 he's by far the most interesting media personality.
00:17:10.280 Pulling back the cover
00:17:11.480 on the CIA-Democrat media link.
00:17:15.680 By the way, you know about this, right?
00:17:19.120 Let me test you in the comments.
00:17:22.180 I expect more people associated
00:17:24.240 with the right to know this.
00:17:26.600 But you do know
00:17:28.440 that our CIA does work with Democrats
00:17:31.480 and the two of them work with the news
00:17:34.980 to craft a narrative
00:17:36.960 which is good for the CIA,
00:17:39.060 good for the Democrats,
00:17:40.900 and good for the news.
00:17:41.880 Not necessarily for you,
00:17:44.480 but that's not the point of it.
00:17:46.700 How many, just watching the comments,
00:17:48.200 how many of you knew that?
00:17:50.980 I'm going to read the comments
00:17:52.300 just in case you're listening.
00:17:54.200 So they're going by,
00:17:55.300 it says, yep, yep, what's the source?
00:17:57.580 Somebody says, yes.
00:17:59.120 Obviously, true, true, yes, yep.
00:18:01.960 So depressing.
00:18:03.040 Somebody says, no, no.
00:18:05.560 Mockingbird, that was the name of it in the past.
00:18:07.740 Absolutely, yes, yes, obviously.
00:18:10.580 Yep, yep, yep.
00:18:11.360 What's the source?
00:18:12.460 Somebody says.
00:18:13.940 I would point you to Glenn Greenwald's writing on this
00:18:18.060 for your source information.
00:18:20.700 We do have sources.
00:18:23.800 So let me say that the sources
00:18:25.240 are documented and confirmed.
00:18:28.020 There's no question about it
00:18:29.380 that I'm aware of.
00:18:31.960 Take into account the context here.
00:18:34.740 I just told you the stories
00:18:36.700 that even are still reported as true
00:18:38.760 are probably untrue.
00:18:41.400 So my skepticism, you know,
00:18:43.880 needle is sort of always pinned to maximum,
00:18:46.960 which is not good enough, by the way.
00:18:49.580 Maximum skepticism still isn't good enough
00:18:52.100 to protect you from all the fake news.
00:18:55.560 But I generally started thinking
00:18:57.340 anything that sounds crazy is crazy.
00:19:00.100 So you should know that about me, right?
00:19:01.740 That if it sounds crazy,
00:19:04.700 it almost always is.
00:19:06.340 It's just not real.
00:19:08.160 What could sound crazier than the CIA,
00:19:11.340 Democrats, and the news,
00:19:13.800 CNN being an example.
00:19:15.580 What could be crazier
00:19:16.700 than them working together
00:19:18.720 to form a narrative
00:19:19.740 that bamboozles the country?
00:19:22.280 It's pretty crazy, right?
00:19:23.520 I wouldn't say it
00:19:24.560 unless the sources were dead obvious.
00:19:27.380 So I'm not the one who reports on this,
00:19:29.320 but just look into Glenn Greenwald.
00:19:32.960 Look at what I tweeted
00:19:33.760 from his tweets just from yesterday.
00:19:39.580 So if you look at his Twitter feed,
00:19:42.640 you'll see everything you need.
00:19:46.700 Here's an alarming trend.
00:19:50.480 If I turn on Fox News
00:19:51.900 or if I watch some conservative Twitter feed,
00:19:57.440 there's a really good chance
00:19:59.440 I'm going to see a viral video
00:20:01.200 of black people fighting savagely.
00:20:05.400 Like way too much, right?
00:20:08.220 Every time I look at right-leaning media,
00:20:11.220 it just happens to be
00:20:12.500 a viral video
00:20:14.080 of all black people fighting each other.
00:20:16.880 Or a black person
00:20:18.720 stomping an Asian man to death.
00:20:22.700 But you go over to CNN,
00:20:23.940 it's all about the white cops
00:20:25.880 killing black people
00:20:27.100 who did nothing
00:20:27.920 and were just stopped
00:20:29.380 for a traffic infraction
00:20:31.180 or something,
00:20:31.780 or a minor thing.
00:20:33.600 You know,
00:20:34.660 it's getting really grotesque
00:20:36.940 because neither of these images
00:20:39.240 are even close to truth.
00:20:41.360 It is not true
00:20:42.480 that black people
00:20:43.800 are breaking into
00:20:45.280 spontaneous riots and fights
00:20:47.260 in airports
00:20:48.480 and in diners
00:20:49.840 around the world.
00:20:50.640 We do have it on video,
00:20:53.400 but I've got to think
00:20:54.500 it's not breaking out
00:20:55.520 all over the world,
00:20:56.280 but it feels like that
00:20:57.100 if you watch enough videos.
00:20:58.760 Likewise,
00:20:59.460 I don't think white cops
00:21:00.940 are slaying black people
00:21:03.280 in their cars
00:21:04.240 just because they look
00:21:06.380 the little sketch or something.
00:21:08.920 I don't think either of these
00:21:10.060 is an accurate picture,
00:21:11.820 but video is so powerful
00:21:13.600 that you've got these two narratives
00:21:15.640 fighting each other
00:21:16.440 and they're both grotesque.
00:21:18.700 They're both grotesque.
00:21:19.800 Now,
00:21:20.780 I do think that you have
00:21:22.340 to show the news
00:21:23.400 and if these viral videos exist,
00:21:26.020 of course,
00:21:26.760 we're going to see them,
00:21:28.180 but when you see the,
00:21:29.480 you know,
00:21:30.060 the focus of the left
00:21:32.640 versus the focus of the right,
00:21:34.600 it's really grotesque.
00:21:36.140 They're both just grotesque images
00:21:37.920 of America.
00:21:40.160 Joe Rogan's getting some heat
00:21:41.920 for being smart.
00:21:46.020 I could just end there.
00:21:47.400 I could just end
00:21:49.100 without saying anything else.
00:21:50.520 Joe Rogan is getting in trouble
00:21:52.280 with the media
00:21:53.640 for just being a smart person.
00:21:56.900 I guess I'll give you the details,
00:21:58.880 but that's pretty much the story.
00:22:01.880 All right?
00:22:02.220 Here's the details.
00:22:04.820 CNN gives this headline,
00:22:07.060 or at least the chyron,
00:22:08.660 says that Joe Rogan
00:22:10.900 wades into anti-vax narrative.
00:22:13.020 All right?
00:22:14.840 So that's the chyron
00:22:15.800 that Joe Rogan
00:22:17.300 wades into anti-vax narrative.
00:22:21.900 Now,
00:22:22.740 does that seem fair?
00:22:24.740 Do you think that the story
00:22:26.320 will support that summary?
00:22:30.180 Do you think
00:22:30.620 when I tell you the details,
00:22:32.120 you're going to say,
00:22:33.160 oh my God,
00:22:34.320 that's true.
00:22:35.600 Joe Rogan just waded
00:22:36.700 into anti-vax territory.
00:22:38.760 Do you think that's true?
00:22:40.580 Of course not.
00:22:41.660 Of course not.
00:22:43.880 It's nuanced.
00:22:45.400 It's smart.
00:22:46.840 What Joe Rogan said,
00:22:47.880 I'll tell you in a moment.
00:22:49.380 And the news
00:22:50.160 just can't handle that.
00:22:51.700 They can't fucking handle
00:22:52.800 a little bit of smartness
00:22:54.660 and an opinion.
00:22:55.900 It just doesn't fly.
00:22:57.820 Here's what he did say,
00:22:59.320 and I'll try to characterize it
00:23:01.760 as best I can.
00:23:02.540 I hope I don't get any of it wrong.
00:23:04.460 But basically,
00:23:05.340 the question was very narrow.
00:23:08.080 So Joe Rogan did say
00:23:09.780 he thinks the vaccinations
00:23:11.420 are probably a good idea.
00:23:14.960 Start there.
00:23:16.800 So does this make sense?
00:23:18.840 That Joe Rogan
00:23:19.560 has waded into
00:23:20.620 anti-vax narrative,
00:23:22.500 but the topic,
00:23:24.420 the very story
00:23:25.260 they're talking about,
00:23:26.720 he starts by saying
00:23:27.780 he thinks the vaccinations
00:23:28.760 are probably a good idea
00:23:29.900 in general,
00:23:31.140 just generally speaking.
00:23:33.600 Is that how you would have
00:23:34.860 characterized his opinion?
00:23:36.420 You would have said
00:23:37.020 he waded into
00:23:37.780 anti-vax narrative?
00:23:38.860 Because he did make
00:23:40.740 one exception.
00:23:42.280 He said if a 21-year-old
00:23:44.060 asked him
00:23:44.640 if this 21-year-old
00:23:47.180 should get a vaccination,
00:23:49.260 that he might suggest no
00:23:51.000 if that person
00:23:52.680 is young and healthy
00:23:53.700 and exercises
00:23:54.540 and eats right
00:23:55.320 and has a good
00:23:56.640 health lifestyle.
00:23:58.220 Now, let me ask you this.
00:24:00.520 Is that anything but
00:24:02.020 a reasoned
00:24:03.920 cost-benefit analysis
00:24:05.540 of the unknown risks
00:24:08.220 of vaccination
00:24:09.100 versus the tiny,
00:24:11.520 tiny, tiny risk
00:24:12.560 that the 21-year-old
00:24:14.280 will actually
00:24:15.280 be infected
00:24:17.000 and die?
00:24:19.040 Because,
00:24:20.040 correct me if I'm wrong,
00:24:21.700 the reason that a 21-year-old
00:24:23.760 would get vaccinated
00:24:24.800 is not necessarily
00:24:26.320 to protect them,
00:24:27.860 but to protect other people,
00:24:29.680 right?
00:24:30.380 Am I right?
00:24:31.000 The point of the 21-year-old
00:24:33.500 is not to protect them.
00:24:35.340 The point
00:24:35.900 is to protect them
00:24:37.080 from maybe
00:24:37.680 infecting other people
00:24:38.760 while they recover fine,
00:24:41.040 but the other person doesn't.
00:24:42.600 So if you're giving advice
00:24:43.880 to the 21-year-old,
00:24:47.560 isn't it fair to say,
00:24:48.740 let me tell you
00:24:49.280 what's good for you
00:24:50.140 specifically?
00:24:52.100 Right?
00:24:52.380 Because the question
00:24:54.360 was not,
00:24:55.500 Joe Rogan,
00:24:56.120 can you tell us
00:24:56.740 what would be
00:24:57.300 the best way
00:24:57.900 to get to herd immunity
00:24:59.060 through vaccinations?
00:25:01.080 The question was,
00:25:02.200 what would you tell
00:25:02.800 one person
00:25:03.620 in one specific situation
00:25:05.900 who was healthy
00:25:07.320 and had no real risk?
00:25:10.960 That
00:25:11.440 was nothing
00:25:12.880 but a cost-benefit analysis
00:25:15.500 where this very specific case,
00:25:18.360 it's hard to know
00:25:19.120 that you're getting
00:25:19.620 enough benefit
00:25:20.340 individually.
00:25:21.920 Is there a benefit
00:25:22.980 to the larger whole?
00:25:24.840 Maybe a little.
00:25:26.320 It doesn't look like a lot.
00:25:29.480 So here's how
00:25:30.640 I would have reported this
00:25:31.940 if I were CNN.
00:25:34.040 Joe Rogan
00:25:34.880 talks about
00:25:36.700 the cost-benefit
00:25:37.820 of a special case.
00:25:40.460 Or Joe Rogan
00:25:41.500 talks about
00:25:42.160 whether it's good
00:25:43.400 for the 21-year-old
00:25:44.620 versus good for society.
00:25:46.880 Or Joe Rogan
00:25:48.100 has a smart opinion
00:25:49.480 about how you should
00:25:51.220 parse your risk.
00:25:53.720 Did any of those
00:25:54.800 headlines say anything
00:25:55.720 that was untrue?
00:25:57.480 All of these
00:25:58.380 summaries are true.
00:26:00.580 Including,
00:26:01.280 you could argue,
00:26:02.320 CNN's
00:26:02.920 is
00:26:03.160 true-ish.
00:26:05.060 It's just super misleading.
00:26:06.860 Because now they've
00:26:07.760 taken Joe Rogan
00:26:08.620 and thrown him into
00:26:09.500 a whole category
00:26:10.940 of anti-vax people.
00:26:13.140 And I don't know
00:26:13.840 where he stands
00:26:14.400 on vaccinations
00:26:15.660 for other things.
00:26:17.820 But that's a pretty
00:26:19.220 gross way
00:26:20.020 to treat somebody
00:26:22.060 who just said
00:26:23.300 something
00:26:23.720 unambiguously smart.
00:26:26.140 And just treat him
00:26:27.140 like he's a fucking idiot.
00:26:29.420 This is amazing.
00:26:31.080 All right.
00:26:32.860 Joe Biden's
00:26:33.800 going to
00:26:34.640 unveil his
00:26:35.920 big plan.
00:26:36.820 I guess he's
00:26:37.260 doing his
00:26:37.820 State of the Union
00:26:39.260 or just an address
00:26:40.100 tomorrow.
00:26:41.100 Whatever it is.
00:26:41.780 I think it's
00:26:42.100 the State of the Union.
00:26:43.140 And
00:26:43.400 it's going to be
00:26:46.640 super expensive.
00:26:48.240 He's going to
00:26:48.720 raise taxes
00:26:49.420 on people like me.
00:26:51.760 But he's got
00:26:53.320 a lot of
00:26:53.840 benefits in here.
00:26:55.120 So let's say
00:26:55.600 he's got
00:26:56.100 he wants to pay
00:26:57.820 for four years
00:26:58.500 of free public
00:26:59.180 education
00:26:59.700 for every child
00:27:01.040 and a universal
00:27:02.280 high-quality
00:27:03.520 preschool
00:27:04.020 and two years
00:27:04.940 of free community
00:27:05.660 college.
00:27:06.580 I don't really
00:27:07.180 understand this
00:27:08.000 because four years
00:27:09.180 of free public
00:27:09.940 education
00:27:10.540 is less
00:27:12.140 than what
00:27:12.640 people get
00:27:13.140 now.
00:27:15.500 Don't people
00:27:16.340 already get
00:27:17.100 an entire
00:27:18.180 childhood
00:27:20.760 free education?
00:27:22.760 So I just
00:27:23.140 copied this
00:27:24.360 language from
00:27:25.060 one of the
00:27:25.600 stories.
00:27:26.460 I don't even
00:27:26.840 know what
00:27:27.000 that means.
00:27:27.960 At least four
00:27:28.660 years of free
00:27:29.220 public education
00:27:30.100 is way less
00:27:30.980 than we already
00:27:31.640 have.
00:27:32.420 So the news
00:27:33.580 report is just
00:27:34.180 stupid.
00:27:35.740 And
00:27:35.800 all right.
00:27:37.580 So he's going
00:27:37.960 to massively
00:27:38.440 increase education.
00:27:40.040 Now here's
00:27:40.860 the good
00:27:41.100 part.
00:27:42.180 The good
00:27:42.840 part is that
00:27:44.360 he explicitly
00:27:45.420 says we need
00:27:46.300 this to compete
00:27:46.980 with China.
00:27:48.300 So I like
00:27:49.380 that.
00:27:50.440 I like the
00:27:51.120 fact that
00:27:52.540 when the
00:27:53.020 Biden
00:27:53.240 administration
00:27:53.880 is sort
00:27:55.800 of figuring
00:27:56.320 out how to
00:27:56.820 explain what
00:27:57.720 they want to
00:27:58.280 do, that
00:27:59.380 they at
00:27:59.760 least put
00:28:01.240 part of
00:28:01.640 their filter
00:28:02.160 how do you
00:28:03.280 protect in the
00:28:04.040 long run
00:28:04.440 against Chinese
00:28:05.720 dominance.
00:28:06.900 And education
00:28:07.480 certainly would
00:28:08.120 be one of the
00:28:08.600 ways to do
00:28:09.660 that.
00:28:10.140 So I like
00:28:10.560 that part of
00:28:10.980 his argument
00:28:11.420 even though
00:28:12.800 I'm not sure
00:28:13.360 that's, you
00:28:13.980 know, obviously
00:28:14.420 that's not the
00:28:14.940 whole reason
00:28:15.320 you do it.
00:28:16.780 But who
00:28:17.380 pays for all
00:28:17.980 this stuff?
00:28:18.540 We'd all like
00:28:19.120 everybody to
00:28:19.620 have a free
00:28:20.280 education, if
00:28:21.940 it were free.
00:28:23.580 But people
00:28:24.320 like me are
00:28:24.840 going to be
00:28:25.160 paying for it.
00:28:25.860 How much
00:28:26.260 am I going
00:28:26.620 to pay?
00:28:28.560 Well, being
00:28:29.340 in the top
00:28:30.940 tier of people
00:28:32.140 paying taxes,
00:28:33.760 my tax rates,
00:28:34.940 when you
00:28:35.540 add in the
00:28:36.140 California tax
00:28:37.500 rate of
00:28:37.920 12.3
00:28:38.780 and the
00:28:39.960 federal of
00:28:40.780 39.6
00:28:42.020 and most
00:28:42.980 of the ways
00:28:43.600 that you
00:28:43.840 can avoid
00:28:44.900 taxes will
00:28:45.580 be taken
00:28:45.960 away, my
00:28:47.600 total will
00:28:48.100 be about
00:28:48.500 52% tax
00:28:49.920 rates.
00:28:51.440 So just
00:28:51.760 my income
00:28:52.320 tax will be
00:28:52.900 about 52%.
00:28:54.080 Then on top
00:28:55.280 of that, as I
00:28:56.340 consume things,
00:28:57.120 I'll pay
00:28:57.420 sales tax.
00:28:58.980 As I pay
00:29:00.120 myself and my
00:29:00.920 corporation, I'll
00:29:01.840 pay payroll
00:29:02.740 taxes.
00:29:03.220 And of
00:29:04.400 course, I'm
00:29:04.760 in California,
00:29:05.680 so I'll pay
00:29:06.080 property taxes.
00:29:08.340 So my
00:29:08.760 effective tax
00:29:11.060 rate will be,
00:29:12.460 I don't
00:29:12.840 know, 60%,
00:29:16.660 65%,
00:29:18.240 something like
00:29:18.840 that.
00:29:19.740 Maybe 65%
00:29:21.080 tax rate.
00:29:23.000 And also
00:29:25.340 my capital
00:29:25.920 gains would
00:29:27.040 go to 43%,
00:29:28.560 basically doubling.
00:29:30.320 So this
00:29:30.760 basically takes
00:29:32.160 most of
00:29:33.760 the wealth
00:29:34.120 I've
00:29:34.400 accumulated
00:29:34.940 in my
00:29:35.520 life, which
00:29:36.720 happens to
00:29:37.160 be in the
00:29:37.460 stock market.
00:29:39.200 Because from
00:29:39.980 the beginning
00:29:40.400 of my career,
00:29:41.160 I took any
00:29:41.940 extra money,
00:29:42.600 I hadn't
00:29:42.760 just put it
00:29:43.400 into an
00:29:44.100 index fund.
00:29:45.280 So now my
00:29:46.080 net wealth
00:29:47.100 has grown to,
00:29:48.000 you know,
00:29:48.240 let's say this
00:29:48.800 amount.
00:29:49.920 And Joe
00:29:50.260 Biden, since
00:29:51.140 the only way I
00:29:51.680 could use that
00:29:52.340 money would be
00:29:53.180 to sell the
00:29:54.660 stock, turn it
00:29:55.500 into money, and
00:29:56.040 then spend it.
00:29:56.960 But now he's
00:29:57.680 going to take a
00:29:58.160 gigantic chunk
00:29:58.900 of that.
00:29:59.200 So my net
00:30:00.220 wealth would
00:30:00.780 shrink by, I
00:30:01.860 don't know, 25%
00:30:02.780 or something.
00:30:05.140 Somebody says,
00:30:06.180 stop whining,
00:30:07.040 Scott.
00:30:07.920 Give it up.
00:30:09.500 Well, here's,
00:30:10.920 let me make a
00:30:13.200 balanced case
00:30:14.620 for this.
00:30:16.500 In the world
00:30:17.320 of economics,
00:30:18.480 the worst thing
00:30:19.480 you can do is
00:30:20.120 change the rules
00:30:21.160 once people have
00:30:22.660 adapted to the
00:30:23.560 rules.
00:30:24.720 When I was
00:30:25.720 born into this
00:30:26.820 country and
00:30:27.460 raised and
00:30:28.080 educated, there
00:30:28.760 were a certain
00:30:29.120 set of rules
00:30:29.840 which said that
00:30:31.300 if you worked
00:30:31.940 really hard, you
00:30:33.420 could make a
00:30:33.900 certain amount
00:30:34.300 of money and
00:30:34.780 you would keep
00:30:35.340 most of it.
00:30:37.040 Now the rules
00:30:37.860 have changed.
00:30:39.100 Hey, you worked
00:30:39.820 hard all your
00:30:40.340 life, you did
00:30:41.180 everything that
00:30:41.800 the country told
00:30:42.500 you to do,
00:30:43.420 ah, surprise,
00:30:44.720 you don't get to
00:30:45.400 keep most of it
00:30:46.060 now.
00:30:46.940 You get to keep
00:30:47.960 a small part of
00:30:49.200 what you earned.
00:30:50.640 And not only that,
00:30:51.500 but the money
00:30:52.020 you've already
00:30:52.880 earned in the
00:30:54.360 stock market is
00:30:55.340 just sitting there.
00:30:55.980 I thought it was
00:30:56.440 my money, we're
00:30:57.760 going to take it
00:30:58.240 from you, we
00:30:59.340 would take about
00:30:59.760 a quarter of
00:31:00.380 it.
00:31:02.300 Now, I also
00:31:05.160 had planned to
00:31:07.000 give away as
00:31:07.720 much money as I
00:31:08.540 could while I'm
00:31:09.460 alive and have
00:31:10.820 done a good job
00:31:11.480 of that.
00:31:12.180 So much so that
00:31:13.700 I really wouldn't
00:31:14.460 feel comfortable
00:31:15.200 retiring at the
00:31:16.260 moment because I've
00:31:17.540 given away so much
00:31:18.580 money that I kind
00:31:20.140 of have to work to
00:31:21.340 make sure that I
00:31:22.000 can retire in the
00:31:23.120 style in which I'd
00:31:24.120 want to.
00:31:24.440 Now, would I
00:31:26.880 have given away
00:31:27.780 as much money as
00:31:28.800 I have in my
00:31:29.680 lifetime if I
00:31:31.320 knew that when I
00:31:32.560 got to retirement
00:31:33.380 age, a quarter of
00:31:34.920 it would be taken
00:31:35.600 away that I
00:31:37.180 didn't expect?
00:31:39.380 No.
00:31:40.540 No, I wouldn't
00:31:41.460 have.
00:31:42.020 I would have done
00:31:42.940 things much
00:31:43.500 differently.
00:31:44.500 What if the
00:31:45.220 Biden tax ideas
00:31:46.900 get put into
00:31:48.260 play and my
00:31:49.600 taxes are raised?
00:31:50.480 How will I
00:31:51.080 respond?
00:31:51.740 Well, I will
00:31:53.500 respond like a
00:31:54.260 victim.
00:31:55.360 I won't respond
00:31:56.500 like an American.
00:31:57.960 I won't respond
00:31:59.000 like a team
00:31:59.580 player.
00:32:00.200 I won't respond
00:32:01.260 like a patriot.
00:32:03.040 I will respond
00:32:04.140 like someone who
00:32:04.820 just got fucked
00:32:05.760 because I led my
00:32:08.500 entire life based
00:32:10.280 on a set of
00:32:11.020 rules that you
00:32:12.840 just fucking
00:32:13.700 changed.
00:32:15.260 Now, am I
00:32:16.200 still rich?
00:32:17.080 Yeah.
00:32:17.740 Am I still
00:32:18.420 better off than
00:32:19.100 just about everybody?
00:32:20.860 Yeah.
00:32:21.740 Would that
00:32:22.640 make me happy?
00:32:23.980 Nope.
00:32:24.900 Nope.
00:32:25.720 What do
00:32:26.120 Democrats get
00:32:26.880 wrong every
00:32:27.600 time?
00:32:29.580 What Democrats
00:32:30.500 get wrong every
00:32:31.200 time is human
00:32:32.040 motivation.
00:32:33.680 What is my
00:32:34.320 human motivation
00:32:35.260 if my tax rate
00:32:36.700 collectively is
00:32:37.680 less than half
00:32:39.080 of what I
00:32:39.600 make?
00:32:40.600 Well, I don't
00:32:41.680 like paying
00:32:42.220 taxes, but if
00:32:43.560 the government
00:32:44.040 is taking less
00:32:45.420 than half, I
00:32:47.120 say to myself,
00:32:48.000 ah, okay,
00:32:49.420 you know, it's
00:32:50.300 part of the
00:32:50.900 cost of being
00:32:51.780 a rich person
00:32:52.400 in the country.
00:32:53.840 But as soon
00:32:54.600 as the government
00:32:55.160 takes more
00:32:55.800 than half, and
00:32:57.060 then a lot
00:32:57.880 more than
00:32:58.300 half, I
00:32:59.980 don't feel
00:33:00.460 the same.
00:33:02.120 And so my
00:33:02.680 human motivation
00:33:03.620 just clicked.
00:33:05.580 And it
00:33:06.000 happened this
00:33:06.440 morning.
00:33:07.140 In real time,
00:33:08.080 you can watch
00:33:08.980 it happen with
00:33:09.600 me right now.
00:33:10.580 You haven't
00:33:11.140 heard me
00:33:11.480 complain about
00:33:12.060 taxes too
00:33:12.640 much, have
00:33:13.040 you?
00:33:13.800 Not really.
00:33:14.540 And I
00:33:15.980 don't really
00:33:16.320 have much
00:33:16.640 standing to
00:33:17.380 because if
00:33:18.020 you're rich,
00:33:19.240 nobody cares,
00:33:20.740 right?
00:33:21.760 Literally,
00:33:22.560 nobody cares.
00:33:23.920 Nor should
00:33:24.380 they.
00:33:25.120 I'm not asking
00:33:26.060 for sympathy
00:33:26.720 in any sense
00:33:28.020 whatsoever.
00:33:29.020 I'm simply
00:33:29.680 telling you that
00:33:30.620 human motivation
00:33:31.620 is part of
00:33:32.440 everything.
00:33:33.640 My human
00:33:34.280 motivation just
00:33:35.200 got triggered,
00:33:36.460 and I'm going
00:33:37.060 to do everything
00:33:37.640 I can to
00:33:38.900 deny the
00:33:39.520 United States
00:33:40.180 as much
00:33:40.720 money as I
00:33:41.400 can, legally.
00:33:42.820 Right?
00:33:43.220 I'm not going
00:33:43.720 to break any
00:33:44.220 laws, I
00:33:45.020 don't take
00:33:45.320 those kinds
00:33:45.740 of chances.
00:33:47.240 But I'm
00:33:47.860 going to
00:33:48.300 dedicate a
00:33:49.240 huge part
00:33:50.040 of my
00:33:50.620 full effort
00:33:51.500 away from
00:33:52.800 productivity
00:33:53.460 toward keeping
00:33:55.440 the United
00:33:55.960 States from
00:33:56.640 stealing my
00:33:57.300 fucking money
00:33:58.060 that you
00:33:59.020 told me I
00:33:59.580 could keep
00:34:00.120 if I did
00:34:00.740 everything you
00:34:01.400 said.
00:34:02.840 Let me talk
00:34:03.700 to you now,
00:34:04.220 United States.
00:34:05.260 You told me I
00:34:06.220 could keep my
00:34:06.920 fucking money
00:34:07.680 if I
00:34:08.800 stayed out of
00:34:09.920 trouble,
00:34:10.780 worked hard,
00:34:11.920 went to
00:34:12.300 school,
00:34:13.120 did everything
00:34:13.760 right.
00:34:14.940 Now you're
00:34:15.380 changing it.
00:34:16.520 Fuck you.
00:34:17.800 I'm going to
00:34:18.260 keep as much
00:34:18.980 of my money
00:34:19.500 as I can.
00:34:20.500 And by the
00:34:20.820 way, I had
00:34:22.660 instructions with
00:34:23.660 my accountants
00:34:24.460 for my entire
00:34:25.220 career that we
00:34:26.640 don't do
00:34:27.060 anything that's
00:34:27.920 even exotic,
00:34:29.700 even if it's
00:34:30.300 legal, right?
00:34:31.160 Of course, I
00:34:31.800 would only do
00:34:32.260 legal things.
00:34:33.400 But I don't
00:34:34.040 do any exotic
00:34:34.940 tax things with
00:34:36.740 tax shelters.
00:34:38.240 I don't have a
00:34:39.160 house in the
00:34:40.480 Virgin Islands to
00:34:41.500 avoid taxes.
00:34:42.800 I don't do
00:34:43.220 any of that.
00:34:44.540 And I
00:34:44.960 intentionally
00:34:45.560 don't do
00:34:46.140 that because
00:34:47.400 I think paying
00:34:48.280 my fair share
00:34:49.040 of taxes is
00:34:49.840 actually not
00:34:51.500 a bad thing.
00:34:53.060 But once it
00:34:53.880 gets over
00:34:54.300 half, half of
00:34:56.100 the money I
00:34:56.560 make, more
00:34:57.160 than half,
00:34:58.680 there's just
00:34:59.260 something in my
00:34:59.720 head that just
00:35:00.180 clicks.
00:35:01.100 And you're
00:35:01.720 watching it in
00:35:02.300 real time.
00:35:02.820 It's happening
00:35:03.180 right now.
00:35:04.320 I am going to
00:35:05.320 make sure this
00:35:06.500 country gets as
00:35:07.380 little of my
00:35:08.340 fucking money as
00:35:09.280 I can because
00:35:10.400 you changed
00:35:11.080 the rules and
00:35:12.240 you screwed
00:35:12.700 me.
00:35:13.600 It's personal,
00:35:15.080 right?
00:35:15.440 It's just
00:35:15.860 personal.
00:35:17.100 So, good
00:35:18.500 luck, good
00:35:19.740 luck getting
00:35:20.260 half of my
00:35:20.760 money now.
00:35:21.700 Because I
00:35:22.940 also have to
00:35:24.140 think about
00:35:24.540 retiring.
00:35:26.920 Because if I
00:35:28.780 continue working,
00:35:29.880 I'm getting so
00:35:30.620 little for the
00:35:31.240 amount that I
00:35:31.740 work, it just
00:35:32.520 maybe isn't
00:35:33.260 worth it.
00:35:34.080 I should just
00:35:34.720 retire, lower
00:35:36.260 my, maybe I
00:35:37.240 can lower my
00:35:37.840 tax rate.
00:35:38.300 I don't know
00:35:38.700 if that would
00:35:39.020 work or not.
00:35:40.140 And just
00:35:42.620 live out my
00:35:43.540 rest of my
00:35:43.960 days creating
00:35:45.140 absolutely
00:35:45.720 fucking nothing.
00:35:46.980 Because you
00:35:47.400 know what?
00:35:47.780 I worked for
00:35:48.880 myself as much
00:35:50.140 as for the
00:35:50.660 country.
00:35:51.660 And now I
00:35:52.560 just, I'm not
00:35:53.220 interested.
00:35:54.320 I've lost
00:35:54.940 interest in
00:35:55.500 funding the
00:35:56.060 country.
00:35:56.580 Because you
00:35:57.180 didn't play it
00:35:57.940 right.
00:35:58.600 You didn't
00:35:59.060 treat me right,
00:36:00.620 Joe Biden, if
00:36:01.620 you get away
00:36:02.060 with this.
00:36:02.860 And so I am
00:36:03.860 calling upon the
00:36:05.000 Republicans to
00:36:06.360 squash this if
00:36:07.440 they can.
00:36:08.300 Now the
00:36:08.640 problem, of
00:36:09.020 course, is
00:36:09.440 that we're
00:36:10.880 going to run
00:36:11.220 up an
00:36:11.540 amazing debt
00:36:12.320 and who's
00:36:12.980 going to
00:36:13.180 pay for
00:36:13.540 it?
00:36:15.040 Me, right?
00:36:16.780 So if I
00:36:17.540 stay in this
00:36:18.080 country, it
00:36:18.920 seems that this
00:36:20.060 is the trend
00:36:20.780 that whatever
00:36:22.060 money I've
00:36:22.660 made over my
00:36:23.200 lifetime will
00:36:23.980 be taken from
00:36:25.000 me in
00:36:25.540 increasing
00:36:26.140 amounts.
00:36:27.740 And now I
00:36:28.320 just, I
00:36:28.680 literally have
00:36:29.180 to look for
00:36:29.560 another country.
00:36:30.800 Now when I
00:36:31.520 say that, I
00:36:31.960 mean that
00:36:32.260 actually.
00:36:33.480 I mean I'm
00:36:34.200 literally going to
00:36:34.900 have to spend
00:36:35.440 some time
00:36:36.120 looking into
00:36:37.760 other countries
00:36:38.700 to figure out
00:36:39.840 the tax
00:36:40.420 situation and
00:36:41.620 what do you
00:36:42.340 do with
00:36:42.680 citizenship and
00:36:43.740 how do I
00:36:44.460 talk Christine
00:36:45.080 into moving
00:36:45.620 to another
00:36:46.020 country?
00:36:47.360 But I
00:36:48.080 didn't want to
00:36:48.500 do any of
00:36:48.960 this.
00:36:49.780 I wanted to
00:36:50.700 just pay my
00:36:51.340 49% tax rate,
00:36:53.820 go to work,
00:36:54.780 do what's good
00:36:55.420 for the country.
00:36:56.320 And you just
00:36:57.100 knocked me right
00:36:57.800 off of that
00:36:58.280 plan.
00:36:59.120 I am off of
00:36:59.840 that plan
00:37:00.240 now.
00:37:01.240 So fuck
00:37:01.860 you Joe
00:37:02.400 Biden and
00:37:03.080 all of your
00:37:03.660 fucking thieves
00:37:04.760 for putting me
00:37:06.100 in this
00:37:06.400 situation.
00:37:07.520 And I
00:37:07.980 know I
00:37:09.020 don't get
00:37:09.760 any sympathy
00:37:10.660 nor do I
00:37:11.280 ask for it.
00:37:13.460 All right.
00:37:14.980 And the
00:37:15.560 corporate tax
00:37:16.160 rates going
00:37:16.660 up, blah,
00:37:17.500 blah, blah,
00:37:17.800 blah.
00:37:18.960 So Joe
00:37:20.280 Biden on the
00:37:21.020 positive side
00:37:21.600 does have a
00:37:22.200 made in
00:37:22.560 America director.
00:37:23.920 So there's
00:37:24.400 a woman,
00:37:26.260 Celeste Drake,
00:37:27.860 who is going
00:37:28.640 to make sure
00:37:29.080 that,
00:37:29.460 that more
00:37:30.700 stuff is made
00:37:31.380 in America,
00:37:31.920 I guess.
00:37:32.380 I don't know
00:37:32.880 exactly what
00:37:33.520 that entails.
00:37:35.220 What exactly
00:37:36.260 does the
00:37:39.020 made in
00:37:39.640 America director
00:37:40.520 do?
00:37:41.320 Is it just
00:37:42.000 talking to
00:37:42.760 people?
00:37:43.740 Because I
00:37:44.340 don't think
00:37:44.640 there are any
00:37:45.000 laws, are
00:37:45.820 there?
00:37:48.180 Caleb Jones
00:37:49.260 about moving
00:37:50.000 out of America.
00:37:51.060 Oh, there's
00:37:51.360 a YouTube
00:37:52.120 about how to
00:37:53.360 move out of
00:37:53.820 America.
00:37:55.100 You know,
00:37:55.460 the only reason
00:37:56.360 to stay in
00:37:56.840 America is for
00:37:58.320 the military
00:37:58.900 protection and
00:37:59.860 the natural
00:38:00.320 disaster protection.
00:38:02.140 Because I
00:38:02.860 don't think
00:38:03.300 anybody does
00:38:03.920 better than
00:38:04.400 America in
00:38:06.020 when there's
00:38:08.260 trouble.
00:38:09.400 So I would
00:38:10.100 feel safest in
00:38:11.120 America, but
00:38:12.620 you could also
00:38:14.680 live possibly
00:38:15.700 somewhere where
00:38:16.400 you're protected
00:38:17.080 by an American,
00:38:17.980 an American,
00:38:20.200 let's say,
00:38:20.820 defense umbrella,
00:38:22.200 but you don't
00:38:22.660 have to pay
00:38:23.080 taxes.
00:38:23.520 So I'd
00:38:25.240 just go
00:38:25.560 somewhere where
00:38:26.180 America would
00:38:26.880 protect that
00:38:27.500 country, but I
00:38:28.920 don't have to
00:38:29.260 pay taxes for
00:38:29.920 it.
00:38:30.040 I'd just get
00:38:30.380 it for free.
00:38:33.720 All right.
00:38:36.140 Ronan Farron,
00:38:37.360 Ronan Farron,
00:38:38.480 Ronan Farrow,
00:38:40.480 is talking about,
00:38:42.140 there's a story
00:38:42.880 about New York
00:38:43.420 Attorney General,
00:38:44.720 Attorney General,
00:38:45.600 Erica Schneiderman.
00:38:46.380 apparently Ronan
00:38:49.400 reported in
00:38:50.380 2018 that
00:38:52.640 Eric Schneiderman
00:38:53.480 had assaulted
00:38:54.260 several women.
00:38:56.200 And today he
00:38:56.760 admitted to
00:38:57.320 slapping another
00:38:58.240 unwanted contact
00:38:59.440 and will have
00:39:00.260 his law license
00:39:00.960 suspended, blah,
00:39:01.940 blah, blah.
00:39:03.940 What?
00:39:05.280 What kind of
00:39:06.200 story is this?
00:39:08.840 How often was
00:39:10.080 the Attorney
00:39:10.540 General slapping
00:39:12.520 women?
00:39:14.360 Apparently it
00:39:15.160 was like some
00:39:15.660 kind of a weird
00:39:16.360 like how many
00:39:17.980 people have you
00:39:19.560 ever slapped?
00:39:20.840 Have you ever
00:39:21.560 slapped anybody?
00:39:23.260 I mean, outside
00:39:24.240 of just good
00:39:25.640 clean fun?
00:39:27.320 And I don't
00:39:28.780 even know what
00:39:29.100 to think about
00:39:29.620 this.
00:39:29.980 Apparently he has
00:39:30.500 a drinking problem.
00:39:31.920 I think that
00:39:32.320 might be part of
00:39:32.960 it or something.
00:39:34.200 But seriously,
00:39:35.540 how many women
00:39:36.160 have you ever
00:39:36.640 slapped?
00:39:38.460 Yeah, I think
00:39:39.280 zero is the
00:39:40.040 right number,
00:39:41.120 right?
00:39:41.760 At least outside
00:39:42.640 of the bedroom.
00:39:44.200 Let me tell you
00:39:46.400 something that
00:39:47.640 will this get me
00:39:50.200 kicked off of
00:39:50.760 social media?
00:39:53.280 Ooh, I don't
00:39:54.160 know.
00:39:55.200 Want to take a
00:39:55.720 chance?
00:39:56.760 Let's take a
00:39:57.520 chance, see if I
00:39:58.180 get kicked off
00:39:58.780 of social media.
00:40:00.680 I save the
00:40:02.040 controversial stuff
00:40:03.180 sometimes for the
00:40:04.160 end because the
00:40:06.040 people who don't
00:40:06.540 really care have
00:40:07.200 already signed
00:40:07.920 off.
00:40:08.180 and I'm
00:40:10.300 going to tell
00:40:10.620 you a story.
00:40:13.140 You ready?
00:40:14.500 And the story
00:40:15.440 has a context.
00:40:17.820 I believe that
00:40:19.760 one of the
00:40:20.340 biggest things
00:40:21.180 that women
00:40:21.800 don't know,
00:40:22.820 in the United
00:40:23.440 States anyway,
00:40:24.680 the biggest thing
00:40:25.400 that women
00:40:25.880 don't know is
00:40:27.800 how other
00:40:28.700 women act when
00:40:31.000 there's no
00:40:31.580 woman watching.
00:40:34.460 All right?
00:40:35.360 When a woman
00:40:36.220 is alone with
00:40:37.280 a man, just
00:40:39.180 completely alone,
00:40:40.180 private situation,
00:40:41.760 I don't believe
00:40:43.060 that women act
00:40:43.940 in that situation
00:40:45.040 in any way
00:40:46.620 similar to the
00:40:47.960 way other women
00:40:48.880 think they act
00:40:49.800 in that situation.
00:40:51.680 And I believe
00:40:52.720 that men have
00:40:54.140 this unique view
00:40:55.240 into women that
00:40:57.240 even women
00:40:57.880 don't know about.
00:40:59.500 Because women
00:41:00.260 know about
00:41:00.700 themselves, but
00:41:02.420 doesn't everybody
00:41:03.000 think they're a
00:41:03.600 freak?
00:41:04.640 I've never met
00:41:05.480 anybody who
00:41:06.080 didn't think
00:41:06.520 that personally
00:41:07.180 they were a
00:41:07.840 freak.
00:41:09.000 So if a woman
00:41:10.300 acts a certain
00:41:11.340 way, but only
00:41:12.280 in front of
00:41:12.880 one man at a
00:41:13.960 time and
00:41:14.440 nobody else
00:41:14.940 watching,
00:41:16.060 nobody else
00:41:16.740 knows about
00:41:17.320 that.
00:41:18.360 The man does.
00:41:19.940 In fact,
00:41:20.900 men know.
00:41:22.860 I'm watching
00:41:23.520 the comments
00:41:24.100 because I'm
00:41:24.480 seeing people
00:41:24.980 LOL.
00:41:26.080 You know what
00:41:26.680 I'm talking
00:41:27.100 about, right?
00:41:31.140 I'm seeing
00:41:31.840 all the LOLs
00:41:32.740 going by,
00:41:33.580 and I can't
00:41:34.460 tell if those
00:41:34.960 are men or
00:41:35.560 women saying
00:41:36.160 that.
00:41:37.100 But trust
00:41:38.200 me, women,
00:41:39.880 trust me,
00:41:40.720 women, you've
00:41:42.220 never met
00:41:42.780 women.
00:41:45.720 All of you
00:41:46.560 women who
00:41:47.480 think you know
00:41:48.120 your girlfriends,
00:41:49.620 you know your
00:41:50.260 sister, nope.
00:41:54.500 No, you don't.
00:41:56.340 There's a whole
00:41:57.420 other side of
00:41:58.400 women that I'm
00:41:59.540 pretty sure only a
00:42:00.760 man gets to see
00:42:01.620 when they're alone,
00:42:02.340 and that's it.
00:42:04.700 Well, let me
00:42:05.440 tell you this one
00:42:06.080 story to
00:42:06.820 demonstrate it.
00:42:07.800 And I want to
00:42:08.580 couch this very
00:42:09.340 carefully.
00:42:10.840 There's nothing
00:42:11.540 I'm going to
00:42:11.980 say that would
00:42:12.620 promote the
00:42:15.180 activity I'm
00:42:15.940 going to
00:42:16.180 explain,
00:42:16.960 all right?
00:42:17.320 So this is
00:42:17.900 just a story.
00:42:19.160 I'm not
00:42:19.760 recommending it,
00:42:21.000 promoting it,
00:42:21.680 or endorsing it,
00:42:23.080 all right?
00:42:23.920 Just a story.
00:42:25.040 It's a real
00:42:25.600 thing that
00:42:26.000 happened.
00:42:27.120 Years ago, I
00:42:27.980 was working in a
00:42:28.520 corporate office in a
00:42:29.460 big bank, and
00:42:30.300 there was a
00:42:30.740 secretary, back
00:42:31.960 when there were
00:42:32.560 secretaries, and
00:42:34.040 the secretary came
00:42:34.860 to work obviously
00:42:36.140 beaten up, had a
00:42:37.500 black eye, you
00:42:38.500 know, obviously had
00:42:39.320 been in some kind
00:42:40.780 of a bad
00:42:41.260 altercation.
00:42:42.580 Well, of course, the
00:42:43.460 people in the office
00:42:44.120 were concerned,
00:42:45.120 especially the other
00:42:46.340 women who worked
00:42:46.920 with her, and they
00:42:48.100 finally got her to
00:42:48.940 open up, and she
00:42:50.360 told them that it
00:42:51.260 was her boyfriend,
00:42:52.580 and that her
00:42:53.300 boyfriend had
00:42:54.020 beaten her
00:42:54.540 savagely, and
00:42:55.980 wasn't the first
00:42:57.280 time.
00:42:58.840 Apparently, it was a
00:42:59.960 irregular event, that
00:43:02.260 he would just beat
00:43:03.320 her up.
00:43:04.100 And I'm talking
00:43:04.680 about black eye
00:43:05.700 type of beating
00:43:06.460 up, you know,
00:43:06.900 serious stuff.
00:43:08.580 Well, we
00:43:10.740 collectively, the
00:43:11.660 people who worked
00:43:12.360 with her, were very
00:43:13.200 concerned and, you
00:43:14.940 know, worked with
00:43:15.560 her as much as we
00:43:16.400 could, and it got
00:43:17.560 her finally to break
00:43:19.860 up with the
00:43:20.340 boyfriend.
00:43:21.260 Finally.
00:43:22.400 So she broke up
00:43:23.160 with the boyfriend.
00:43:24.260 Good news.
00:43:25.500 Well, a little time
00:43:26.260 goes by.
00:43:27.320 She's single.
00:43:29.000 I'm single.
00:43:30.660 We start hanging
00:43:31.660 out.
00:43:32.820 Things progress, as
00:43:34.320 things do for
00:43:35.040 single people.
00:43:35.960 We end up back at
00:43:37.100 her place.
00:43:39.100 Things start
00:43:39.800 happening.
00:43:41.400 She says, hit me.
00:43:44.200 I say, what?
00:43:46.660 She says, hit me.
00:43:48.480 I go, what do you
00:43:49.060 mean, hit you?
00:43:50.260 You mean, like, slap
00:43:51.240 you?
00:43:51.960 She goes, no.
00:43:53.440 Hit me with your
00:43:54.260 fist.
00:43:54.680 I said, you're
00:43:56.640 kidding, right?
00:43:58.040 She goes, no.
00:43:59.740 Hit me.
00:44:00.540 Punch me.
00:44:01.760 And I said, you
00:44:03.260 don't mean that.
00:44:04.820 You don't mean, like,
00:44:05.720 punch you as hard as
00:44:06.600 I can, like a man
00:44:07.740 punches somebody to
00:44:08.640 fight.
00:44:09.480 Do you?
00:44:10.820 And she said, yes.
00:44:13.320 Yes.
00:44:14.800 Hurt me.
00:44:16.560 Like, basically beat
00:44:17.620 me up.
00:44:18.020 Now, of course, I
00:44:21.760 did not.
00:44:23.360 Yeah, of course, I
00:44:24.540 did not.
00:44:26.080 But, ladies, did
00:44:28.880 she tell you that
00:44:29.640 story?
00:44:30.900 Is that the story
00:44:31.900 you heard?
00:44:33.120 Because it wasn't the
00:44:34.280 story anybody else in
00:44:35.220 the office heard.
00:44:36.520 Not one of her
00:44:37.540 girlfriends, who knew
00:44:38.920 her really well, ever
00:44:40.820 heard that story, did
00:44:41.960 they?
00:44:42.160 Now, men, men, in
00:44:47.520 the comments, this is
00:44:48.680 where it's going to
00:44:49.180 get dangerous.
00:44:50.820 How many times you've
00:44:51.960 been in that
00:44:52.440 situation?
00:44:53.500 Now, not necessarily
00:44:54.280 punch, but how many
00:44:55.760 times you've been in a
00:44:56.700 situation where the
00:44:57.600 woman asked repeatedly
00:44:59.700 and specifically to be
00:45:01.940 rough?
00:45:02.280 I'm just looking at
00:45:04.960 your comments.
00:45:07.920 Somebody says, once,
00:45:09.580 yep.
00:45:11.740 Was she blonde?
00:45:13.660 I don't know why
00:45:14.340 you're asking that.
00:45:15.780 I've been seeing
00:45:16.400 nevers.
00:45:16.920 I've seen once.
00:45:18.140 I'm seeing yes, no,
00:45:21.400 me, never, not me,
00:45:23.400 at least twice,
00:45:25.200 never, yep, at least
00:45:26.740 one time, did, yep,
00:45:28.720 zero, nope, yes,
00:45:30.800 never, nope.
00:45:33.260 Five or six times.
00:45:35.540 Choking, yes.
00:45:36.960 Girl said, you better
00:45:38.040 bruise me.
00:45:39.300 Wanted bruises.
00:45:44.080 I've had the request
00:45:45.520 a few times, people
00:45:46.560 are saying.
00:45:47.980 Considered a free
00:45:48.920 pass, okay.
00:45:50.700 That's slapping, yes.
00:45:53.500 No, no, no.
00:45:54.900 Just choking and
00:45:55.740 spanking.
00:45:57.160 Run.
00:45:58.860 A lot of spanking.
00:46:01.460 Right.
00:46:02.020 Okay.
00:46:02.640 So, there you have it.
00:46:05.200 I don't know what the
00:46:06.060 percentages were, but you
00:46:07.320 saw that there were a
00:46:08.280 healthy dollop of people
00:46:09.660 who have had some kind of
00:46:11.700 similar experience.
00:46:13.340 Now, let me say again,
00:46:15.160 I'm not recommending it,
00:46:16.880 I'm not endorsing it,
00:46:18.920 nothing like that.
00:46:20.400 I'm just saying there's this
00:46:21.760 whole world that's invisible
00:46:23.700 to women.
00:46:26.220 You know, the individual woman
00:46:27.620 always knows what they're
00:46:28.440 doing, but women don't know
00:46:30.980 what those individuals are
00:46:32.060 doing when they're behind
00:46:32.820 closed doors, and it's
00:46:33.920 probably not what you think.
00:46:35.200 somebody says, boy, I must
00:46:40.880 really travel in different
00:46:42.040 circles.
00:46:42.920 Well, I do think there's a
00:46:44.360 personality filter that
00:46:46.720 happens here.
00:46:48.040 There is a certain type of guy
00:46:49.780 that a woman is not going to
00:46:51.860 ask to do that.
00:46:53.740 Would you agree?
00:46:55.260 You know, if you have, I don't
00:46:57.220 want to get into, you know,
00:46:58.260 beta and alpha, but just for the
00:47:00.600 point of the conversation, I do
00:47:03.520 think that there's a certain
00:47:04.680 segment of the population that
00:47:06.240 no woman is going to ask to do
00:47:08.340 that.
00:47:09.240 And there's another type of guy
00:47:11.660 that probably, they're in the
00:47:15.360 room because they think he
00:47:16.620 might do that.
00:47:17.900 I mean, so I would say that it
00:47:20.960 makes perfect sense that if your
00:47:23.420 entire personality screams, I
00:47:27.220 would never get into that,
00:47:28.900 nobody's ever going to bring it
00:47:30.220 up.
00:47:30.760 But if there's something about
00:47:32.260 you that looks a little
00:47:33.240 dangerous, you're probably
00:47:35.920 going to hear it.
00:47:37.300 That would be my guess.
00:47:39.740 All right.
00:47:41.240 Yeah, somebody's saying that
00:47:42.580 Shades of Grey, that book,
00:47:44.940 sold a lot of copies.
00:47:46.240 So clearly there's something
00:47:48.020 out there.
00:47:49.160 But stay safe.
00:47:50.100 Don't hit anybody.
00:47:51.720 That would be my advice to
00:47:53.580 you.
00:47:54.260 Tomorrow, CNN will run the
00:47:56.240 headline.
00:47:58.000 Dilbert cartoonists.
00:47:59.200 Well, you know how that's
00:48:00.480 going to go, right?
00:48:05.920 There's a terrible comment in
00:48:07.540 the comments here, but I'm not
00:48:10.860 going to read it.
00:48:12.420 All right.
00:48:12.660 That's all I got for now.
00:48:15.740 God, I hope Joe Biden's address
00:48:17.960 gives us some red meat other than
00:48:20.700 making me want to leave the
00:48:21.940 country.
00:48:22.220 I really, really hope it does.
00:48:25.660 All right.
00:48:26.120 That's all for now.
00:48:26.760 I'll talk to you later.
00:48:27.360 Thank you.
00:48:28.360 All right.
00:48:33.020 Thank you.
