Summary

In this episode of the podcast, I talk about how Israel is getting stronger and stronger every day, and why they don't need any more money to get peace with the Palestinians. I also talk about the best thing that makes everything better: The Simultaneous Sip.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Well, ladies and gentlemen, and everybody undefined, it's good that you found me today,
00:00:10.180 because you're going to learn so much, you're going to have a great time, you're going to
00:00:14.740 be connected to people all over the world.
00:00:17.960 Yeah, it's almost like one of those mushroom things, you know how mushrooms are all connected
00:00:23.580 with a deep network of connections?
00:00:26.080 Yeah, it's exactly like the Simultaneous Sip, but with mushrooms.
00:00:31.760 So, if you'd like to enjoy the Simultaneous Sip to its maximum possibility, and why would
00:00:39.000 you settle for anything less, really, all you need is a cup or mug, a glass, a tank, a chelsea,
00:00:43.720 a canteen, a jug, a glass, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:47.240 I like coffee.
00:00:48.860 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine here today, the thing that
00:00:52.160 makes everything better.
00:00:52.900 It's called the Simultaneous Sip.
00:00:56.880 And it's the best thing that's ever happened in the history of civilization, and it's just
00:01:01.200 about to happen now.
00:01:02.340 Go!
00:01:09.540 You know, every morning I prepare for these live streams by making notes and printing them
00:01:16.800 out on my HP Tango printer.
00:01:18.780 So, I've usually got quite a bit.
00:01:21.720 So, I've got this page.
00:01:23.900 You can see front and back.
00:01:26.480 And then my printer printed this page.
00:01:30.080 And then my printer printed this page.
00:01:33.740 And then, oh, but it's not all bad.
00:01:36.020 It also printed this page, which almost has some smudges on it.
00:01:40.120 And when I tell you that you would be watching me throw my printer off the balcony, I'm not
00:01:47.700 kidding.
00:01:48.500 The only thing preventing that is that other people are asleep in the house right now.
00:01:53.260 Otherwise, you would be watching me heave it off of my balcony onto my sidewalk below.
00:02:00.220 Now, I'm not promising I won't do that before the end of this live stream.
00:02:04.280 If I hear other people wake up.
00:02:08.700 So, if I know that the rest of the people in the house are awake, that printer is going
00:02:13.760 off the balcony, and you can join in the fun.
00:02:17.700 However, luckily, I've got a backup.
00:02:21.740 Technology.
00:02:22.920 Wah, wah, wah.
00:02:24.460 All right, here's the good news.
00:02:27.120 Texas Governor Abbott reports that the number of COVID-related deaths in Texas yesterday was
00:02:34.260 zero.
00:02:38.800 Zero.
00:02:40.880 Texas.
00:02:42.240 The whole state of Texas.
00:02:45.100 Zero COVID deaths yesterday.
00:02:48.360 Wow.
00:02:49.480 Now, it's not going to stay at zero, of course.
00:02:52.100 But, wow.
00:02:53.860 They had the lowest seven-day COVID positivity rate ever.
00:02:57.660 Lowest COVID hospitalization in 11 months.
00:03:01.040 Wow.
00:03:02.240 Wow.
00:03:02.760 Amazing.
00:03:04.860 So, I was out last night going to dinner.
00:03:08.660 And I've got to tell you, my little town is so hopping.
00:03:15.140 I mean, there is some pent-up energy.
00:03:17.580 Let me tell you.
00:03:18.700 The number of people who are out, you can't park.
00:03:22.720 Stores are just packed.
00:03:24.660 The restaurants, you can't get a reservation.
00:03:26.560 It is hopping where I am.
00:03:29.720 Now, is it where you are?
00:03:31.860 Traffic is crazy again.
00:03:34.020 Yeah, vaccines are working.
00:03:36.920 So, the Washington Post has an interesting analysis, if you can call it that.
00:03:43.880 And one of their claims in this article is that because Israel has the Iron Dome, which is pretty good at shooting down the incoming rockets coming from Gaza, that that's making it harder to get peace.
00:03:58.420 Because why would Israel need any peace if they're stopping 90% of the rockets?
00:04:05.880 Now, is that a good analysis, that the reason you can't get peace is because one of the sides is too strong?
00:04:16.960 I think that we should not discourage people from having a strong national defense because it might prevent them from suing for peace that they don't need and don't want.
00:04:30.700 I would say that Israel is in a good position.
00:04:33.260 They don't need any peace.
00:04:34.260 So, what is better than having a peace you don't want and probably wouldn't hold anyway versus having, you know, a dominant control of your own security situation?
00:04:48.080 I feel like peace isn't even the first choice, is it?
00:04:55.100 Because it wouldn't be a real peace.
00:04:57.120 You know, there would still be terrorists doing what terrorists do.
00:04:59.480 So, you could get maybe the leaders to agree, but it wouldn't stop the terrorists.
00:05:04.260 So, I don't think that Israel has any reason for peace with Gaza, let's say.
00:05:11.400 They just don't have any reason.
00:05:13.320 There's nothing to be gained as long as they have a dominant situation.
00:05:18.560 So, you know, and Israel is getting bigger and stronger every day.
00:05:23.180 So, whatever they're doing is working.
00:05:25.340 And they get situations like this and they take care of it.
00:05:29.920 Probably be done in a month before it flares up again later.
00:05:34.260 Somebody says, Palestinians use peace to get money for their wars.
00:05:41.320 Well, there's definitely a monetary incentive to everything.
00:05:46.140 All right.
00:05:46.460 So, we're also seeing the news trying to ruin Trump's legacy about the Abraham Accords.
00:05:59.040 Now, watch the fake news do this.
00:06:01.660 What they're trying to do is they're trying to say that the Abraham Accords were really about the Palestinian situation,
00:06:08.900 even though, you know, nobody involved in the Palestinian situation directly was even part of it.
00:06:16.040 But the idea was that if Israel and the other Arab countries got along, maybe it would isolate the Palestinians
00:06:23.620 and possibly cause them to be a little more flexible, if indeed that's what it takes.
00:06:30.840 But you're seeing the news try to say that the trouble with Israel and the Palestinians
00:06:37.140 is somehow negating one of the greatest accomplishments of all time, diplomatically, which is the Abraham Accords.
00:06:45.740 So, watch how the news tries to make these two different things into one thing.
00:06:50.540 Now, I would argue that the Abraham Accords are holding, meaning that the other Arab countries are not, you know,
00:06:59.640 they're not jumping on Israel and pulling out of the Accord.
00:07:03.280 Obviously, it's a giant success.
00:07:07.060 Obviously.
00:07:08.220 You just look at it and you say to yourself, wait, did Israel and those countries that made an agreement with it
00:07:13.740 still keep their agreement?
00:07:15.960 Yeah.
00:07:16.340 Even when the Gaza is hurling rockets and Israel's responding, it's still held.
00:07:24.600 So, it's exactly what it was intended to do, which is isolate the Palestinian situation
00:07:31.140 and maybe make that easier to either deal with or to solve in the long run.
00:07:36.900 So, it is disgusting to watch the fake news try to turn a gigantic success into a failure
00:07:44.540 by making it look like it was really intended to do something directly with the Palestinian violence,
00:07:50.740 which it was never meant to be a direct address to that problem.
00:07:58.380 Matthew McConaughey is apparently quietly putting out feelers to see if he should run for governor.
00:08:06.380 Now, apparently, he polls so high that he might actually win if the polling were accurate and held.
00:08:12.700 Now, what do you think of that?
00:08:17.000 Do you think that whatever problems we have will be solved by a governor, Matthew McConaughey?
00:08:25.880 Well, I liked him a lot more before he did those Lincoln commercials.
00:08:31.500 Is it Lincoln?
00:08:33.180 Where it just is so cringy from beginning to end?
00:08:35.720 I don't know.
00:08:38.480 He apparently does have, he's got a college degree and some kind of, I think, the arts
00:08:45.000 or some kind of bachelor of science and some kind of communication or arts sort of thing.
00:08:51.600 So, and he was thinking about being a lawyer at one point.
00:08:54.220 So, apparently, he's academically smart.
00:08:57.280 So, he's got that working for him academically, quite smart.
00:09:00.340 And, he's well-meaning and probably liked by both Democrats and Republicans to some extent.
00:09:11.440 I don't know if he needs to be governor because I don't know that there's a problem there in the first place.
00:09:16.580 I mean, does Governor Abbott, is he doing a bad job that I don't know about?
00:09:21.740 I mean, I've heard criticisms, but all the governors are getting criticized.
00:09:27.200 So, I don't know if this is a problem that needs to be solved, but I feel like there's something terribly broken with the world if Matthew McConaughey can become governor.
00:09:39.700 Oh, somebody says he wrote a book, too.
00:09:43.580 You know, I think Reagan was a different animal because he was always political, even when he was an actor.
00:09:49.720 But, I don't know.
00:09:52.660 I just don't know about actors becoming governors.
00:09:55.900 It just doesn't feel like a good trend for the long term.
00:10:00.820 You know, arguably, even Arnold Schwarzenegger was kind of political before he ran for office.
00:10:07.760 All right.
00:10:09.280 How many of you saw the 60 Minutes on the UFOs?
00:10:13.220 So, there's more videos of alleged UFOs, which tend to be these oval-shaped objects, which they never get a good picture of, but they can definitely see it on the infrared and on the radar.
00:10:29.060 So, we know something's there.
00:10:31.660 I feel like it's fair to say there's something.
00:10:34.920 And, when we say UFOs are confirmed, which I cheekily did in my tweet about this live stream, confirming a UFO isn't anything.
00:10:47.100 It's like confirming that there's confusion.
00:10:50.680 It doesn't confirm anything.
00:10:52.320 It just confirms that we don't know what they are.
00:10:55.100 So, when you say it, UFOs are confirmed, of course, people think you've confirmed aliens.
00:11:00.400 But, nothing like that has happened.
00:11:01.900 All right.
00:11:02.680 So, here's the question.
00:11:04.900 There was at least one part of the 60 Minutes part that I hadn't heard before.
00:11:09.080 There were four pilots in the same situation.
00:11:12.640 I guess it might have been two jets with two pilots each.
00:11:16.320 And, all four of them saw the same thing.
00:11:20.280 They report that there was some oval object making the ocean swirl, and then it flew away.
00:11:26.160 And, it went right past them.
00:11:27.960 And, you know, they could clearly see it, etc.
00:11:30.480 And, they didn't want to talk about it until now.
00:11:34.100 And, so, you have to ask yourself, what is more likely that four people really saw something that is not of earthly design?
00:11:44.440 Because, apparently, it was doing things that earth technology can't do.
00:11:49.940 Or, they always seem to do that.
00:11:51.500 Is it more likely that four people are lying or mistaken?
00:11:58.380 Or, is it more likely that there are aliens who are visiting with advanced technology?
00:12:07.720 Which one of those is more likely?
00:12:10.140 Well, let's put it in context.
00:12:15.800 Most of our headlines are about things that people see that aren't there.
00:12:21.940 Right?
00:12:23.040 Most of our hoaxes, and, in fact, most of our headlines even today.
00:12:27.600 Today.
00:12:28.340 Just pick a day.
00:12:29.920 Most of our headlines today are about things that people saw that weren't there.
00:12:37.480 It's most of the news.
00:12:40.340 Most of your experience, every day, involves people clearly seeing things that aren't there.
00:12:48.000 Your co-workers remember a conversation that didn't happen.
00:12:51.980 The news is reporting something that didn't happen.
00:12:55.640 I just gave you an example.
00:12:57.120 There will be a few more before we're done.
00:12:58.640 So, one hypothesis, that four people could have the same crazy hallucination, or just mistaken perception,
00:13:09.260 that is the most common thing in the entire world.
00:13:14.200 It feels like it's not, right?
00:13:16.520 Because we all think that our perceptions are pretty good.
00:13:19.400 So we think, well, our perceptions are good.
00:13:21.880 Other people's must be at least a little bit good.
00:13:24.080 So it seems like it would be really unusual that four people would see a UFO right up close,
00:13:31.780 and they'd be military people, and they'd have the same story.
00:13:35.740 What are the odds that that didn't really happen?
00:13:39.380 Really high.
00:13:41.060 Really high.
00:13:42.340 Like, close to 100% high.
00:13:45.120 It's the most common thing in your experience is that people see things that aren't there.
00:13:51.540 Now, how common is it in all of our experience to see a confirmed alien spaceship?
00:14:02.000 Well, so far none in the history of civilization.
00:14:08.360 So far none.
00:14:09.980 Confirmed.
00:14:11.140 But we certainly have lots of stories about them.
00:14:15.200 Now, if you have one situation, which is the most common situation in reality,
00:14:20.780 people seeing things that don't exist, even when multiple people see it.
00:14:24.900 Very common.
00:14:26.740 Versus something that's never happened and would be extraordinary and violate physics if it did.
00:14:36.920 Kind of equal odds, would you say?
00:14:39.260 No.
00:14:40.020 Not even close.
00:14:40.860 If I could bet my entire net wealth and have a certain answer, hypothetically, if you could know for sure,
00:14:52.660 I would bet my entire net wealth that it's not an alien spaceship.
00:14:58.300 Now, I don't even know if it's a spaceship.
00:15:02.180 It could be anything.
00:15:03.580 But maybe someday we'll know.
00:15:05.840 Here's another news that I'd say I'm a little skeptical of.
00:15:09.540 Apparently there's a story in USA Today that a woman who is a black homeowner had her home appraised twice
00:15:17.740 and worried that she was getting a low appraisal because she was black.
00:15:22.220 So she decided to do an experiment in which she got a white family to pretend it was their house.
00:15:29.140 And then the third appraisal of their house was double, double what the first two were.
00:15:36.740 So, clear racism, right?
00:15:40.340 What else could it be?
00:15:41.980 I mean, it's in the news, so it must be true.
00:15:44.540 I can't imagine that the news would report something that's totally untrue.
00:15:51.560 But do you believe that one woman's house was appraised by two people for, I guess, $110,000 and $125,000?
00:16:02.160 And then the third one was double.
00:16:05.780 It was like $249,000 or something like that.
00:16:09.360 Do you think that sounds plausible?
00:16:10.940 Because the USA Today reported it like it's true.
00:16:14.540 No, it's not plausible.
00:16:19.340 It's not plausible.
00:16:21.520 It's not even slightly plausible.
00:16:24.440 And you should see the comments on the tweet from people who do appraisals for a living.
00:16:29.200 The people who do appraisals for a living say,
00:16:31.820 Nope, not possible.
00:16:33.980 Because you have to show your work.
00:16:36.740 The appraisal business is about comparables.
00:16:39.600 Finding other homes that are sold for a certain price.
00:16:43.460 That are similar.
00:16:46.220 If the appraisal doesn't show that the other homes in your area sold for a similar price,
00:16:51.380 you're not going to turn in that appraisal.
00:16:54.800 Because your own appraisal would say it's fake.
00:16:57.880 Here are all the other houses just like yours.
00:17:01.180 And then here's yours, completely different than all the other houses like yours.
00:17:04.920 And we're going to just keep it that way because we're appraising it for half of what all the other houses are worth.
00:17:11.180 Do you think that happened?
00:17:12.980 No.
00:17:14.260 No, it didn't happen.
00:17:15.980 Now, some people are speculating that what did happen is that the first two appraisals,
00:17:20.580 I think we do know this,
00:17:22.740 was during the depths of the coronavirus problem when nothing looked like it was worth anything.
00:17:31.100 And then the third appraisal happened when things were picking up.
00:17:34.720 The stock market was up by 50% or whatever, whatever the number was.
00:17:38.520 And home values were zooming.
00:17:41.960 So, but still?
00:17:44.980 Doubled?
00:17:45.980 Do you think your home doubled?
00:17:48.000 No.
00:17:48.760 I don't know what the real story is, but this is not real.
00:17:53.640 All right?
00:17:54.420 And have I told you about stories that are a little bit too on the nose?
00:17:58.180 A little bit too on the nose, isn't it?
00:18:00.480 The clever black single mom.
00:18:03.900 I think, actually, I think she's a single mom.
00:18:06.580 I'm not sure about that part.
00:18:07.600 But, you know, she's a victim of racism so bad that her home was appraised at half of its value.
00:18:17.640 No, that didn't happen.
00:18:19.340 I'm sorry.
00:18:20.160 Now, if I'd seen this story and it said there's a 30% difference, I wouldn't have even questioned it.
00:18:26.680 Really.
00:18:27.640 I mean, I would have been horrified if there were a 30% difference.
00:18:32.540 That would be horrifying.
00:18:34.840 But I might have believed it.
00:18:36.420 But not double.
00:18:38.800 Come on.
00:18:39.780 I mean, the news isn't even trying anymore when they report stories like this.
00:18:43.360 They're just so obviously not true.
00:18:45.020 Remember I told you that the disagreement between Dr. Fauci and Rand Paul about whether Fauci had ever supported funding for gain-of-function stuff in Wuhan?
00:19:01.460 And I said to you that my theory was that they were both correct, disagreeing, but both correct.
00:19:10.340 And the reason I gave is that gain-of-function was probably being used in two different ways so that they were both right.
00:19:17.980 They were just using the phrase differently.
00:19:19.860 And I feel like that's confirmed now.
00:19:23.440 Let me tell you what the Collins, who's the head of the NIH, said.
00:19:27.460 And I want to listen to his exact wording.
00:19:30.220 All right?
00:19:30.440 So here he'll be denying that they were involved in any funding for gain-of-function research on dangerous coronaviruses.
00:19:54.540 Okay, key word, dangerous.
00:19:58.360 To see if they could be more transmissible or lethal for individuals in the human species, he added.
00:20:04.560 And then he said, that was not something that we would have done.
00:20:08.780 Now watch the exact wording here.
00:20:10.660 We never approved that kind of research.
00:20:13.580 And that's something Senator Paul might want to be a bit more clear about.
00:20:18.360 That kind of research.
00:20:20.420 So he starts out by saying, talking about gain-of-function on dangerous coronaviruses.
00:20:27.920 And he says we never funded that kind of research.
00:20:31.140 But gain-of-function is a big category.
00:20:35.040 And gain-of-function to weaponize it is a subset of that category.
00:20:38.820 So, is it true that they did non-weaponized research on gain-of-function,
00:20:46.260 but they did not fund in any way weaponizing gain-of-function?
00:20:53.460 I feel like that's what's going on.
00:20:55.800 So this looks like fake news, meaning that it looks like there's a disagreement,
00:21:00.980 but they're just using the words differently, I think.
00:21:03.960 That's my current hypothesis.
00:21:06.040 Do you remember Project Veritas had an undercover video of a CNN technical director?
00:21:16.180 I think he was.
00:21:17.520 And he was saying about how CNN plans to panic us about the climate
00:21:23.040 as their next big theme that they'll weave into everything.
00:21:26.760 Well, here's your example of your CNN climate panic porn.
00:21:31.180 So their tweet today,
00:21:32.900 in an ever-warming climate,
00:21:34.900 ripple effects or chain reactions
00:21:36.840 could lead to altered weather patterns across the globe
00:21:40.200 thanks to a melting Antarctic ice sheet,
00:21:43.300 a new study says.
00:21:45.480 So,
00:21:46.740 here's my problem.
00:21:50.480 What would happen
00:21:51.660 if we knew that,
00:21:54.620 let's say we knew
00:21:55.720 that the fake news
00:21:58.220 was damaging people's brains
00:22:00.380 because they were getting too afraid.
00:22:03.320 They were frightened to death
00:22:04.320 about white supremacists under the bed.
00:22:07.380 Now they're frightened to death
00:22:08.500 that the Arctic ice sheet
00:22:10.580 will cause,
00:22:11.740 you know,
00:22:12.340 the Earth to fall apart
00:22:13.540 from global change,
00:22:15.220 global climate change.
00:22:16.760 What would happen to your brain
00:22:18.300 if you were believing the news?
00:22:21.420 It would be massive mental health problems, right?
00:22:24.340 Now, here's my question.
00:22:26.760 If the news
00:22:27.660 created massive mental health problems
00:22:31.180 for profit,
00:22:32.840 you know,
00:22:33.040 they're not trying to give you mental health problems,
00:22:36.020 but it's an outcome of all the fake news,
00:22:39.680 who would report it
00:22:41.680 if it were happening?
00:22:45.160 That's a problem, isn't it?
00:22:47.040 If the problem was,
00:22:48.560 you know,
00:22:48.980 imagine hypothetically,
00:22:50.440 it's a massive mental health problem
00:22:53.200 directly caused by fake news,
00:22:56.360 who would report it?
00:22:58.480 Who would report it?
00:23:01.120 There's nobody to fucking report it, right?
00:23:04.980 It's one of the biggest problems
00:23:06.700 in the country,
00:23:07.540 by far,
00:23:09.320 but the news can't report it.
00:23:12.240 This is one where even,
00:23:13.540 you know,
00:23:13.920 Fox News can't even report it about CNN,
00:23:16.580 CNN can't even report that about Fox News,
00:23:19.100 and they fight all the time.
00:23:20.500 But reporting it
00:23:23.020 would require accepting
00:23:24.460 that you're both
00:23:25.120 at least a little bit
00:23:26.140 part of that process.
00:23:28.520 So the news can't report
00:23:30.200 on what might be
00:23:32.200 the biggest story
00:23:33.000 in the country right now,
00:23:34.160 massive mental health problems
00:23:36.520 from the news.
00:23:39.000 Now,
00:23:39.960 is there any science
00:23:42.120 to support that?
00:23:43.120 Apparently, yes.
00:23:44.480 Apparently,
00:23:45.000 there's plenty of science.
00:23:46.540 Are we following the science
00:23:48.260 and reporting that the news
00:23:49.460 is creating
00:23:49.980 massive mental health problems?
00:23:52.620 Nope.
00:23:53.440 Nope.
00:23:53.840 We don't follow the news
00:23:54.740 in that case.
00:23:59.280 Will climate change
00:24:00.700 become a precursor
00:24:01.840 for war
00:24:02.520 under the Bush doctrine?
00:24:04.260 Well,
00:24:04.440 that's interesting.
00:24:05.800 I feel as if
00:24:06.880 climate change
00:24:08.320 and racism
00:24:09.020 have the same
00:24:10.380 overall quality
00:24:11.920 that you can apply them
00:24:13.560 to every other
00:24:14.480 topic.
00:24:15.260 topic.
00:24:17.220 Everything could be
00:24:18.220 something about racism.
00:24:19.620 Everything could be
00:24:20.300 something about
00:24:20.880 climate change.
00:24:21.940 You can make those fit.
00:24:23.800 Anything.
00:24:24.800 So will somebody
00:24:25.580 use it to justify a war?
00:24:27.560 Definitely.
00:24:28.840 We don't know the details.
00:24:30.540 But we know
00:24:31.000 climate change
00:24:31.640 will be used
00:24:32.740 to justify
00:24:33.340 everything.
00:24:35.420 All right?
00:24:38.840 Now,
00:24:39.500 how about
00:24:40.080 I just saw
00:24:41.720 a mention
00:24:42.120 of the New York Times
00:24:42.980 article.
00:24:43.620 Ben,
00:24:43.880 was it Ben Smith?
00:24:46.920 Yeah,
00:24:47.440 Ben Smith
00:24:47.840 was writing
00:24:48.600 in the New York Times
00:24:49.360 about this story
00:24:50.520 about the Jeopardy contestant
00:24:52.040 who won
00:24:53.040 three times in a row,
00:24:54.380 but when he,
00:24:55.040 the first time
00:24:56.060 he held up
00:24:56.540 one finger,
00:24:57.280 the second time
00:24:57.940 he won
00:24:58.360 he held up
00:24:58.840 two to show
00:24:59.520 he'd won twice,
00:25:00.760 and the third time
00:25:01.720 when he held up
00:25:02.400 three fingers
00:25:03.120 he unfortunately
00:25:04.260 decided not to do
00:25:05.700 these three fingers,
00:25:07.340 but to do
00:25:08.000 the,
00:25:08.800 these,
00:25:11.460 I can't do it
00:25:12.380 without,
00:25:12.660 I can't,
00:25:14.340 I can't give you
00:25:14.880 an example,
00:25:15.880 but he used
00:25:17.100 like a,
00:25:17.960 a catcher
00:25:19.340 in baseball
00:25:20.120 uses,
00:25:21.580 uses these
00:25:22.360 three fingers
00:25:22.940 to say three,
00:25:24.160 and
00:25:26.120 apparently
00:25:27.580 there was a big
00:25:28.240 organization
00:25:28.720 of past
00:25:29.740 participants
00:25:30.480 on Jeopardy,
00:25:32.160 it's a thriving,
00:25:33.400 you know,
00:25:33.960 sub-community
00:25:34.740 on the internet,
00:25:35.280 and they decided
00:25:36.640 that he was
00:25:37.760 really sending
00:25:38.440 this secret
00:25:39.100 white supremacist
00:25:40.160 hand gesture.
00:25:40.760 now Ben
00:25:42.160 Smith just
00:25:42.700 rips that
00:25:43.140 apart and
00:25:43.860 essentially just
00:25:45.120 treats it like
00:25:45.780 nonsense,
00:25:46.680 and the tone
00:25:47.580 of Ben's
00:25:48.440 article is
00:25:49.860 that all
00:25:50.620 of these
00:25:51.120 past Jeopardy
00:25:52.760 contestants
00:25:53.320 who are
00:25:55.020 by definition
00:25:56.200 way smarter
00:25:57.980 about facts
00:25:59.100 than the
00:26:00.180 average person
00:26:00.880 were completely
00:26:03.160 bamboozled
00:26:04.000 by the belief
00:26:05.360 that they could
00:26:05.940 see a white
00:26:06.700 supremacist
00:26:07.380 right in front
00:26:08.000 of them.
00:26:09.600 Now,
00:26:11.560 UFOs,
00:26:12.580 some people
00:26:13.240 believe exist
00:26:14.080 because so
00:26:15.380 many people
00:26:16.020 saw it
00:26:16.500 with their
00:26:17.020 own eyes.
00:26:18.300 With their
00:26:19.000 own eyes
00:26:19.420 they saw it.
00:26:20.380 They saw
00:26:20.780 the UFOs,
00:26:21.940 so therefore
00:26:22.360 they must
00:26:22.780 exist,
00:26:23.320 right?
00:26:24.240 Well,
00:26:25.600 several million
00:26:26.660 people saw
00:26:27.740 this poor
00:26:28.520 Jeopardy
00:26:29.080 contestant
00:26:29.920 look like
00:26:31.540 a white
00:26:31.860 supremacist,
00:26:33.120 and apparently
00:26:35.080 he's not.
00:26:35.920 so is
00:26:40.160 this a
00:26:40.440 mental health
00:26:40.940 problem?
00:26:42.000 I think
00:26:42.680 it is.
00:26:44.120 I think
00:26:44.820 it is.
00:26:46.020 I'm saying
00:26:46.740 that the
00:26:47.140 news should
00:26:48.340 be covered
00:26:48.780 by the
00:26:49.180 FDA.
00:26:50.640 Maybe.
00:26:52.040 Should the
00:26:52.580 news be
00:26:53.740 regulated by
00:26:54.640 the FDA
00:26:56.120 because it's
00:26:57.100 like a drug?
00:26:58.740 You could
00:26:59.440 make that
00:26:59.900 argument.
00:27:00.400 I mean,
00:27:00.580 it would
00:27:00.780 never fly,
00:27:02.000 but from a
00:27:02.680 scientific
00:27:03.200 perspective,
00:27:04.140 yeah,
00:27:04.740 you could
00:27:05.080 make that
00:27:05.420 argument.
00:27:05.920 can we
00:27:11.460 say that
00:27:11.920 there's a
00:27:12.240 massive
00:27:12.500 mental health
00:27:13.120 problem because
00:27:13.780 all of these
00:27:14.320 Jeopardy
00:27:14.740 contestants thought
00:27:15.680 they saw
00:27:16.080 something that
00:27:16.600 didn't exist?
00:27:18.200 Yeah,
00:27:18.640 yeah,
00:27:18.860 we can.
00:27:19.700 To me,
00:27:20.300 that looks
00:27:20.640 exactly like
00:27:21.720 proof of
00:27:23.280 a major
00:27:24.180 mental illness
00:27:25.100 caused by
00:27:25.600 the fake
00:27:25.920 news.
00:27:30.580 538 is
00:27:31.420 reporting that
00:27:32.040 nearly every
00:27:32.680 Republican who
00:27:33.420 voted to
00:27:33.960 impeach
00:27:34.360 Trump,
00:27:34.820 including
00:27:36.140 Liz Cheney,
00:27:37.500 has been
00:27:38.520 either admonished
00:27:39.360 by the
00:27:39.700 party or
00:27:40.320 attracted at
00:27:40.980 least one
00:27:41.400 primary
00:27:41.840 challenger.
00:27:42.680 So it
00:27:43.540 really kind
00:27:44.240 of suggests
00:27:44.820 that Trump
00:27:45.460 is still in
00:27:46.320 charge of
00:27:46.880 the Republican
00:27:47.680 Party because
00:27:49.060 he can take
00:27:49.960 out anybody
00:27:50.800 who opposed
00:27:51.580 him.
00:27:52.440 If Trump
00:27:53.360 can still
00:27:53.860 take out,
00:27:54.740 and I think
00:27:55.480 he can,
00:27:56.400 anybody who
00:27:57.240 opposed him,
00:27:58.280 how is
00:27:58.980 anybody going
00:28:00.020 to prevent
00:28:00.420 him from
00:28:00.880 being nominated
00:28:01.600 again?
00:28:02.000 I mean,
00:28:03.700 I'm not
00:28:04.060 saying you'd
00:28:04.640 want to
00:28:04.960 prevent it.
00:28:05.900 I'm just
00:28:06.240 saying it
00:28:07.380 feels like
00:28:07.960 nothing can
00:28:08.540 stop it at
00:28:09.140 this point.
00:28:10.420 I feel like
00:28:11.320 Trump can
00:28:11.740 just take
00:28:12.200 out one
00:28:12.600 person after
00:28:13.160 another until
00:28:13.940 the field is
00:28:15.520 clear.
00:28:17.080 So I don't
00:28:18.060 know that
00:28:18.440 that's going
00:28:18.800 to happen,
00:28:19.240 but it's
00:28:19.820 certainly
00:28:20.120 possible.
00:28:22.020 All right,
00:28:22.340 here's some
00:28:22.860 fake news
00:28:23.700 alert.
00:28:25.280 So you may
00:28:25.760 have seen
00:28:26.120 some video
00:28:26.640 clips of the
00:28:27.480 director of the
00:28:28.240 CDC,
00:28:29.440 Rochelle
00:28:29.880 Walensky,
00:28:31.700 and she
00:28:33.520 mentioned there
00:28:34.480 that we now
00:28:35.220 have, and
00:28:35.980 this was
00:28:36.280 mentioned in
00:28:36.800 a tweet on
00:28:37.500 this week
00:28:38.000 ABC News,
00:28:40.840 said, let's
00:28:43.000 see, she's
00:28:43.500 quoted as
00:28:43.940 saying, we
00:28:44.280 now have
00:28:44.740 science that
00:28:45.620 has really
00:28:46.120 just evolved
00:28:47.040 in the last
00:28:47.800 two weeks
00:28:48.380 that demonstrates
00:28:49.580 that these
00:28:50.320 vaccines are
00:28:51.000 safe, they
00:28:51.660 are effective.
00:28:54.020 What?
00:28:55.440 Wait, what?
00:28:56.260 What did I
00:28:56.680 just say?
00:28:57.740 Are you
00:28:58.060 telling me
00:28:58.580 that the
00:28:59.520 head of
00:28:59.900 the CDC
00:29:00.520 only found
00:29:01.960 out in
00:29:02.260 the last
00:29:02.560 two weeks
00:29:03.060 that the
00:29:03.580 vaccines are
00:29:04.320 safe and
00:29:04.700 effective?
00:29:06.340 That's what
00:29:06.960 the tweet
00:29:07.300 says, and
00:29:08.760 it's a tweet
00:29:09.220 from this
00:29:09.800 week ABC.
00:29:11.540 So that
00:29:12.140 wouldn't be
00:29:12.480 fake news,
00:29:13.180 right?
00:29:13.480 I mean,
00:29:13.740 they wouldn't
00:29:14.120 just blatantly
00:29:16.080 tweet out a
00:29:17.860 complete falsehood,
00:29:19.040 would they?
00:29:20.600 But it looks
00:29:21.400 like they're
00:29:21.840 saying that
00:29:22.600 the CDC
00:29:23.180 just figured
00:29:24.200 out the
00:29:24.720 vaccines are
00:29:25.280 safe.
00:29:26.800 That's what
00:29:27.400 the quote
00:29:27.760 says, I'm
00:29:28.820 reading it
00:29:29.180 with my
00:29:29.460 own eyes.
00:29:30.480 It's got
00:29:31.080 to be true
00:29:31.660 because I'm
00:29:32.640 looking at
00:29:33.040 it, right?
00:29:34.760 If you see
00:29:35.380 it with your
00:29:35.680 own eyes,
00:29:36.480 it's true.
00:29:38.020 Isn't that
00:29:38.600 what we've
00:29:38.960 all learned?
00:29:40.060 No.
00:29:41.820 I hope
00:29:42.420 not.
00:29:43.120 No, you see
00:29:43.620 it with your
00:29:43.920 own eyes, it
00:29:44.500 doesn't mean
00:29:44.820 anything.
00:29:45.400 It doesn't
00:29:45.680 mean it's
00:29:45.960 true at
00:29:46.940 all.
00:29:47.520 In fact,
00:29:48.680 the tweet
00:29:49.180 is completely
00:29:50.160 misleading
00:29:51.260 compared to
00:29:52.700 the situation.
00:29:54.120 So I
00:29:54.660 listened to
00:29:55.100 the full
00:29:55.440 clip, and
00:29:56.220 the tweet
00:29:56.840 is just
00:29:57.200 misleading.
00:29:58.260 Of course
00:29:58.980 they've
00:29:59.380 known that
00:30:00.020 the
00:30:00.280 vaccinations
00:30:01.000 had passed
00:30:02.160 all the
00:30:02.540 testing.
00:30:03.480 Of course
00:30:04.080 they knew
00:30:04.480 the vaccines
00:30:05.120 were safe.
00:30:06.540 There was
00:30:06.960 more to
00:30:07.480 the statement.
00:30:08.200 This is a
00:30:08.680 RUPAR.
00:30:10.620 The statement
00:30:11.880 was kind of
00:30:12.420 cut off so
00:30:14.380 that it
00:30:15.660 looked like
00:30:16.160 she was just
00:30:16.580 talking about
00:30:17.020 the safety
00:30:17.500 of the
00:30:17.800 vaccines as
00:30:19.000 if they
00:30:19.320 had just
00:30:19.780 discovered it
00:30:20.460 this week
00:30:20.980 or last
00:30:21.400 week.
00:30:22.320 No.
00:30:23.400 The specific
00:30:24.020 thing she
00:30:24.440 said is that
00:30:25.100 we just
00:30:25.780 discovered
00:30:26.500 like in
00:30:27.000 the last
00:30:27.260 few days
00:30:27.800 that if
00:30:28.660 you're
00:30:28.860 vaccinated
00:30:29.380 but you
00:30:30.640 also get
00:30:31.180 the
00:30:31.620 coronavirus
00:30:32.620 which can
00:30:34.020 happen
00:30:34.380 you basically
00:30:35.620 can't spread
00:30:36.380 it.
00:30:37.840 That's a
00:30:38.620 big deal.
00:30:39.960 That's a
00:30:40.680 gigantic
00:30:41.600 big deal
00:30:42.340 that you
00:30:44.520 can't spread
00:30:45.100 it even if
00:30:45.720 you have it
00:30:46.300 as long as
00:30:47.320 you're
00:30:47.460 vaccinated.
00:30:48.120 That changes
00:30:48.700 everything.
00:30:50.080 And that
00:30:50.380 was the
00:30:50.800 main context
00:30:51.660 of the
00:30:52.300 rest of
00:30:53.400 her point.
00:30:54.680 She said
00:30:55.140 we know
00:30:55.500 the vaccines
00:30:56.020 are safe
00:30:56.460 and effective
00:30:56.960 and recently
00:30:58.840 we found
00:30:59.500 out they're
00:31:00.080 even better
00:31:00.600 than we
00:31:00.980 thought.
00:31:02.320 That's all
00:31:03.020 it was.
00:31:04.120 She literally
00:31:04.840 said nothing
00:31:05.720 except things
00:31:06.500 you'd want
00:31:08.000 her to say
00:31:08.460 which is
00:31:09.420 we thought
00:31:10.120 it was safe
00:31:10.660 now we know
00:31:11.740 it's extra
00:31:12.200 safe and
00:31:13.320 on top of
00:31:13.840 that we
00:31:14.260 know that
00:31:14.700 vaccinated
00:31:15.160 people who
00:31:16.060 have it
00:31:16.400 can't give
00:31:16.880 it.
00:31:17.500 That's
00:31:17.740 gigantic.
00:31:19.200 Totally
00:31:19.520 but the
00:31:21.740 way it
00:31:22.000 was taken
00:31:22.360 out of
00:31:22.640 context I
00:31:23.420 think you're
00:31:23.860 going to see
00:31:24.140 some fake
00:31:24.660 news that
00:31:25.380 acts like
00:31:25.840 they didn't
00:31:26.260 know it
00:31:26.560 was safe
00:31:26.980 or something.
00:31:27.940 Nothing like
00:31:28.480 that is true.
00:31:30.480 Not that
00:31:31.060 anybody can
00:31:31.480 know for
00:31:31.800 sure anything
00:31:32.200 is safe.
00:31:33.240 There's a
00:31:33.720 big news
00:31:35.400 in the
00:31:36.360 nuclear
00:31:36.800 energy
00:31:38.200 business.
00:31:39.300 So apparently
00:31:39.680 there's this
00:31:40.220 consortium
00:31:41.640 led by
00:31:42.900 Rolls-Royce
00:31:43.900 that is
00:31:45.440 building these
00:31:46.080 smaller nuclear
00:31:47.040 reactors and
00:31:48.660 they call
00:31:50.680 them the
00:31:51.120 small
00:31:51.440 modular
00:31:51.940 reactors,
00:31:52.680 SMRs.
00:31:54.080 And they're
00:31:55.180 going to
00:31:55.360 build all
00:31:55.700 these mini
00:31:56.220 reactors and
00:31:57.460 they found
00:31:57.820 some new
00:31:58.220 technology to
00:31:58.920 increase their
00:31:59.480 output and
00:32:00.040 make them
00:32:00.280 even better.
00:32:01.640 So now
00:32:01.900 these factory
00:32:02.700 built reactors,
00:32:04.360 did you hear
00:32:04.780 that?
00:32:05.500 Factory
00:32:05.980 built reactors,
00:32:08.040 they're going
00:32:08.780 to build a
00:32:09.980 nuclear power
00:32:10.800 plant in a
00:32:13.120 factory and
00:32:14.960 then ship it
00:32:15.520 to the
00:32:15.780 location.
00:32:17.480 Do you know
00:32:17.820 how big a
00:32:18.320 deal that
00:32:18.700 is?
00:32:19.820 That's
00:32:20.320 everything.
00:32:21.700 That's
00:32:22.180 everything.
00:32:22.900 That's the
00:32:23.240 end of
00:32:23.580 climate change
00:32:24.320 as a
00:32:24.560 problem.
00:32:25.740 If they
00:32:26.760 can pull
00:32:27.200 this off,
00:32:28.820 and apparently
00:32:29.400 it aims to
00:32:31.700 bring 10
00:32:32.280 mini nuclear
00:32:33.080 reactors into
00:32:33.920 use by
00:32:34.380 2035,
00:32:35.780 with the
00:32:36.480 first one
00:32:37.040 coming in
00:32:37.540 around 2030.
00:32:38.800 Now of
00:32:39.120 course things
00:32:39.740 get delayed,
00:32:41.080 but if you're
00:32:42.340 building your
00:32:42.860 reactor in a
00:32:44.000 factory,
00:32:44.420 you're going
00:32:46.940 to be able
00:32:47.240 to at
00:32:47.440 least build
00:32:47.920 it on
00:32:48.260 time,
00:32:48.780 or on
00:32:49.420 time-ish,
00:32:50.940 and I
00:32:51.920 wouldn't think
00:32:52.400 that they
00:32:52.680 would build
00:32:53.060 it unless
00:32:53.520 they knew
00:32:53.900 that they
00:32:54.240 could get
00:32:54.560 it approved
00:32:55.080 and had a
00:32:55.580 location for
00:32:56.260 it.
00:32:56.780 So I
00:32:57.260 feel like
00:32:57.860 this is
00:32:59.480 some of
00:32:59.780 the biggest
00:33:00.160 news in
00:33:00.660 the world.
00:33:02.700 I'll go
00:33:03.340 further.
00:33:04.240 This is
00:33:04.700 some of the
00:33:05.160 biggest news
00:33:06.000 in human
00:33:07.600 civilization.
00:33:09.980 Some of
00:33:10.540 the biggest
00:33:10.980 news in
00:33:12.200 human civilization.
00:33:14.420 If they
00:33:14.940 can pull
00:33:15.260 this off.
00:33:16.440 Yeah,
00:33:16.800 well,
00:33:17.520 portable,
00:33:18.100 I think,
00:33:18.500 is maybe
00:33:19.000 overstating it,
00:33:20.660 but it looks
00:33:21.060 like they
00:33:21.380 can build
00:33:21.820 it in a
00:33:22.160 factory,
00:33:23.100 maybe move
00:33:23.800 one part
00:33:24.720 at a time
00:33:25.320 to where
00:33:25.900 it needs
00:33:26.180 to be,
00:33:26.480 and then
00:33:26.640 assemble it.
00:33:27.740 But if
00:33:28.940 they pull
00:33:29.300 this off,
00:33:30.700 I mean,
00:33:31.140 seriously,
00:33:32.260 this would
00:33:32.860 be like the
00:33:33.360 discovery of
00:33:34.120 electricity.
00:33:35.080 It's that
00:33:35.460 big,
00:33:36.240 because it
00:33:36.820 changes climate
00:33:37.600 change,
00:33:38.200 it changes
00:33:38.580 pollution,
00:33:39.860 it would
00:33:40.180 change wars.
00:33:41.820 I mean,
00:33:42.080 it would
00:33:42.260 change the
00:33:42.680 balance of
00:33:43.180 power.
00:33:44.420 It would
00:33:45.200 allow us
00:33:46.160 to,
00:33:47.040 you know,
00:33:47.220 it's probably
00:33:47.780 just the
00:33:48.600 fact that
00:33:49.240 we're getting
00:33:49.640 this good
00:33:50.200 at nuclear
00:33:50.700 energy would
00:33:51.820 allow us
00:33:52.300 to populate
00:33:52.980 space,
00:33:54.620 because you
00:33:54.940 need small
00:33:55.760 nuclear reactors
00:33:56.740 for space,
00:33:57.640 and you
00:33:58.060 need lots
00:33:58.480 of people
00:33:58.800 who are
00:33:59.000 trained to
00:34:00.060 build them,
00:34:00.940 which you
00:34:01.360 need a
00:34:01.720 domestic industry
00:34:04.280 to get that.
00:34:05.220 Now,
00:34:05.460 this is happening
00:34:06.060 over in
00:34:06.800 Great Britain,
00:34:07.840 I believe,
00:34:08.520 yeah,
00:34:08.980 in the UK,
00:34:09.500 but certainly
00:34:11.660 if they're
00:34:12.020 doing it
00:34:12.460 over there
00:34:12.840 and they
00:34:13.540 will prove
00:34:14.100 that these
00:34:14.620 factory-built
00:34:15.440 generators
00:34:16.500 work,
00:34:17.620 that could
00:34:18.220 be huge.
00:34:19.780 Michael
00:34:20.320 Smirconish
00:34:21.160 over on
00:34:21.920 CNN,
00:34:23.280 and I've
00:34:23.960 often told
00:34:24.520 you that
00:34:25.000 on CNN,
00:34:26.180 he's the,
00:34:27.540 I would say,
00:34:28.460 one of the
00:34:29.260 two or three
00:34:30.000 most objective
00:34:31.560 people on
00:34:32.220 that network,
00:34:32.760 and he
00:34:34.840 says there
00:34:35.260 was a
00:34:35.520 survey,
00:34:36.360 in a tweet
00:34:36.900 he said,
00:34:37.240 a survey
00:34:37.460 on whether
00:34:37.840 Donald Trump
00:34:38.580 deserves any
00:34:40.000 thanks for
00:34:41.120 the speed
00:34:41.580 of the
00:34:41.860 vaccine.
00:34:43.720 Now,
00:34:44.680 wouldn't
00:34:45.240 you think,
00:34:46.780 somebody's
00:34:47.360 saying that
00:34:47.720 NuScale,
00:34:48.660 N-U scale,
00:34:50.300 is building
00:34:50.980 some reactors
00:34:51.600 in Idaho,
00:34:52.440 so the
00:34:52.700 United States
00:34:53.200 is doing
00:34:53.900 a lot
00:34:54.320 with small
00:34:55.100 nuclear reactors
00:34:55.860 too,
00:34:57.040 but do you
00:34:57.800 think,
00:34:59.020 what do you
00:34:59.660 think?
00:34:59.980 Do you
00:35:00.160 think that
00:35:00.600 people in
00:35:01.380 the country
00:35:01.740 believe that
00:35:02.300 Trump
00:35:02.620 should get
00:35:03.580 credit for
00:35:04.300 how fast
00:35:04.880 the vaccines
00:35:05.540 came out?
00:35:06.980 And when I
00:35:07.480 saw that,
00:35:07.940 I said to
00:35:08.300 myself,
00:35:09.160 wait a minute,
00:35:10.260 are you
00:35:10.520 telling me
00:35:10.860 that there's
00:35:11.300 anybody who
00:35:12.460 wouldn't give
00:35:12.920 him credit
00:35:13.340 for that?
00:35:14.200 Anybody?
00:35:15.180 You can
00:35:15.780 find,
00:35:16.540 are you
00:35:16.860 serious,
00:35:17.300 you can
00:35:17.540 find one
00:35:18.100 person,
00:35:19.220 even one
00:35:19.900 person,
00:35:20.800 in the
00:35:21.320 whole world,
00:35:22.500 can you
00:35:22.840 even find
00:35:23.320 me one
00:35:23.880 person who
00:35:24.920 would say
00:35:25.220 that Trump
00:35:25.780 was not
00:35:26.300 directly
00:35:26.960 responsible
00:35:28.080 for the
00:35:28.680 speed of
00:35:29.100 vaccines?
00:35:29.500 Just find
00:35:29.880 me one
00:35:30.260 person.
00:35:31.280 Let's see
00:35:31.640 how the
00:35:32.000 poll went.
00:35:32.620 half of
00:35:35.620 the people
00:35:35.960 say no.
00:35:39.580 I'm
00:35:40.080 sort of
00:35:40.400 rounding,
00:35:41.460 but basically
00:35:42.500 half of the
00:35:43.800 country
00:35:44.120 says no,
00:35:45.700 he doesn't
00:35:46.040 get credit
00:35:46.440 for that.
00:35:47.480 What?
00:35:47.980 And it
00:35:49.840 turns out
00:35:50.340 that the
00:35:51.020 exact numbers,
00:35:52.500 you know,
00:35:52.720 it's roughly
00:35:53.420 half and
00:35:53.900 half,
00:35:54.400 but the
00:35:54.980 exact numbers
00:35:55.680 line up
00:35:56.280 really,
00:35:57.200 really close
00:35:57.820 to the
00:35:58.660 2020
00:35:59.100 election
00:35:59.600 results.
00:36:02.160 So basically,
00:36:04.100 even the
00:36:04.800 simplest
00:36:05.400 truth,
00:36:07.160 the simplest
00:36:08.460 truth that
00:36:10.040 Trump did
00:36:10.900 make a
00:36:11.340 difference on
00:36:11.880 the speed
00:36:12.280 of the
00:36:12.520 vaccines,
00:36:13.040 the most
00:36:13.920 unambiguous,
00:36:15.780 simplest truth
00:36:16.660 reported
00:36:17.700 exactly the
00:36:18.880 same on
00:36:20.080 every network.
00:36:20.980 like even
00:36:22.040 MSNBC,
00:36:23.320 I think,
00:36:24.280 correct me
00:36:24.760 if I'm
00:36:25.060 wrong,
00:36:26.100 but I
00:36:26.420 think even
00:36:26.900 MSNBCs
00:36:27.960 would say,
00:36:28.560 yeah,
00:36:29.840 Trump got
00:36:30.420 us vaccines
00:36:31.000 faster.
00:36:31.940 Don't they?
00:36:32.940 Do they even
00:36:33.620 argue with
00:36:34.020 that?
00:36:34.940 How in
00:36:35.560 hell do
00:36:36.920 half of
00:36:37.520 the country
00:36:38.040 not know
00:36:39.240 that's
00:36:39.580 true?
00:36:40.700 How in
00:36:41.420 hell?
00:36:42.140 And the
00:36:42.380 answer is,
00:36:43.540 they just,
00:36:44.240 they voted
00:36:44.840 for their
00:36:45.200 team,
00:36:45.540 that's all.
00:36:46.160 It has
00:36:46.400 nothing to
00:36:46.820 do with
00:36:47.180 any
00:36:47.460 information
00:36:48.120 or facts
00:36:49.560 or anything,
00:36:50.100 it's just
00:36:50.360 people voted
00:36:50.940 for their
00:36:51.280 team.
00:36:54.500 A Rasmussen
00:36:55.220 poll
00:36:55.700 polled
00:36:56.980 people to
00:36:57.860 find out
00:36:58.760 if people
00:37:00.160 thought that
00:37:00.860 Trump or
00:37:01.860 Biden had
00:37:02.420 better policies
00:37:03.400 about
00:37:04.040 Israel.
00:37:05.740 What do
00:37:06.260 you think
00:37:06.480 people said?
00:37:07.960 Do you
00:37:08.320 think that
00:37:08.960 conservatives
00:37:09.840 thought Trump
00:37:10.800 was better
00:37:11.280 on Israel
00:37:11.860 or Biden?
00:37:13.280 Surprise!
00:37:14.800 Conservatives
00:37:15.400 thought Trump
00:37:15.940 was better
00:37:16.360 about Israel.
00:37:17.680 But how
00:37:18.040 about
00:37:18.400 liberals?
00:37:21.520 Well,
00:37:21.960 big surprise.
00:37:23.280 The liberals
00:37:23.660 say that
00:37:24.380 Trump was
00:37:25.160 worse
00:37:25.780 in dealing
00:37:27.040 with Israel.
00:37:28.740 Now,
00:37:29.900 again,
00:37:31.600 yeah,
00:37:32.120 there's always
00:37:32.540 room for
00:37:33.020 disagreement,
00:37:34.260 and it's
00:37:34.720 definitely an
00:37:35.200 opinion,
00:37:35.520 but I
00:37:37.120 don't feel
00:37:37.600 like this
00:37:37.980 one is
00:37:38.300 close.
00:37:39.800 I don't
00:37:40.440 feel like
00:37:40.760 this one's
00:37:41.120 a close
00:37:41.520 call.
00:37:42.560 I'm
00:37:43.020 positive
00:37:43.520 that Trump
00:37:44.180 did better
00:37:44.740 with Israel
00:37:45.320 in terms
00:37:46.180 of policy.
00:37:47.480 I don't
00:37:47.740 think there's
00:37:48.080 any question
00:37:48.580 about that.
00:37:49.520 The Abraham
00:37:50.260 Accords,
00:37:50.900 of course,
00:37:51.540 being a big
00:37:52.500 context for
00:37:53.880 that.
00:37:55.980 It's just
00:37:56.760 amazing that
00:37:58.260 there's a
00:37:58.620 disagreement on
00:37:59.240 that,
00:37:59.640 which is
00:38:00.220 further proof
00:38:01.020 that we
00:38:01.340 don't use
00:38:01.800 facts or
00:38:02.480 data.
00:38:02.640 So,
00:38:04.880 you all
00:38:05.420 remember the
00:38:05.840 story of
00:38:06.260 the CEO
00:38:06.860 of Coca-Cola
00:38:07.760 getting a
00:38:08.700 little extra
00:38:09.320 woke and
00:38:10.500 going public
00:38:11.160 with his
00:38:11.600 opinions on
00:38:12.240 the election.
00:38:13.840 And today
00:38:15.520 there's the
00:38:16.320 first Dilbert
00:38:17.040 cartoon on
00:38:18.440 Dilbert's CEO
00:38:19.580 deciding to get
00:38:21.000 more political
00:38:21.700 because he thinks
00:38:22.700 it'll be good
00:38:23.180 for business.
00:38:24.740 Maybe it
00:38:25.340 won't be.
00:38:26.460 So,
00:38:27.040 you've got a
00:38:27.440 few days of
00:38:28.200 Dilbert's CEO
00:38:29.240 being,
00:38:30.400 let's say,
00:38:32.260 inspired by
00:38:32.980 the CEO
00:38:33.480 of Coca-Cola.
00:38:35.300 Now,
00:38:35.620 how many of
00:38:36.040 you know
00:38:36.600 Elon Musk's,
00:38:38.740 one of his
00:38:39.320 rules for
00:38:40.660 work?
00:38:42.700 This has been
00:38:43.600 widely reported
00:38:44.660 that Elon
00:38:45.700 Musk has a,
00:38:47.320 let's say,
00:38:48.600 a philosophy
00:38:49.240 for how
00:38:50.320 Tesla should
00:38:51.480 be managed.
00:38:52.740 And he
00:38:53.240 explicitly says
00:38:54.560 this,
00:38:55.260 I'm paraphrasing,
00:38:56.020 but he
00:38:56.560 explicitly says
00:38:57.620 this,
00:38:58.520 that if
00:39:00.200 you're doing,
00:39:00.720 if you have
00:39:01.140 a company
00:39:01.700 rule that
00:39:03.320 could show
00:39:03.800 up in a
00:39:04.260 Dilbert comic,
00:39:05.740 maybe you
00:39:07.140 shouldn't do
00:39:07.540 it.
00:39:09.140 A very
00:39:09.820 simple rule.
00:39:10.740 If you look
00:39:11.360 at the rule
00:39:11.900 and you say
00:39:12.440 to yourself,
00:39:13.320 oh,
00:39:13.540 that could
00:39:13.900 end up in
00:39:14.380 a Dilbert comic
00:39:15.180 strip,
00:39:16.340 maybe don't
00:39:17.080 do that rule.
00:39:18.180 Maybe that's
00:39:18.800 a rule you
00:39:19.240 should rethink.
00:39:20.380 So that's
00:39:21.160 the Elon
00:39:22.260 Musk theory,
00:39:23.560 and the
00:39:24.180 CEO of
00:39:24.900 Coca-Cola
00:39:25.860 will be
00:39:26.480 testing out
00:39:27.660 that concept
00:39:28.260 because he
00:39:29.060 did just
00:39:29.660 become a
00:39:30.820 character in
00:39:31.460 a Dilbert
00:39:31.820 comic.
00:39:32.960 We'll see
00:39:33.540 how that
00:39:33.800 works out
00:39:34.160 for him.
00:39:36.520 All right,
00:39:37.360 that is
00:39:40.420 pretty much
00:39:40.940 what I
00:39:41.200 wanted to
00:39:41.500 talk about.
00:39:42.340 Just checking
00:39:42.920 my many
00:39:43.360 notes.
00:39:44.560 All right,
00:39:45.800 is there
00:39:46.220 anything I
00:39:46.580 forgot to
00:39:47.020 talk about
00:39:47.400 today?
00:39:53.580 Mustafa says
00:39:54.460 we can
00:39:54.860 colonize
00:39:55.460 Mars,
00:39:56.480 but your
00:39:56.840 printer
00:39:57.200 won't
00:39:57.560 work
00:39:57.880 when we
00:39:58.200 get
00:39:58.380 there?
00:39:59.280 Yeah.
00:40:01.620 Yeah,
00:40:02.180 that's
00:40:02.360 probably
00:40:02.600 true.
00:40:04.240 All right,
00:40:04.620 anything else
00:40:05.080 I forgot?
00:40:09.500 All right,
00:40:10.220 we should
00:40:10.600 about the
00:40:12.500 teachers'
00:40:13.020 unions.
00:40:13.840 Let me
00:40:14.340 ask you
00:40:14.700 this.
00:40:18.200 Is it
00:40:18.800 my
00:40:19.000 imagination
00:40:19.600 or have
00:40:21.320 the
00:40:21.540 teachers'
00:40:22.180 unions
00:40:22.560 completely
00:40:23.220 destroyed
00:40:23.840 all their
00:40:24.200 credibility?
00:40:24.740 Now,
00:40:25.280 they still
00:40:25.540 have tons
00:40:25.880 of power,
00:40:27.080 so maybe
00:40:27.500 that won't
00:40:27.920 change at
00:40:28.400 all.
00:40:29.180 But I
00:40:30.180 feel as
00:40:30.760 though the
00:40:33.320 teachers'
00:40:33.880 unions were
00:40:34.720 a lot more
00:40:36.560 popular a
00:40:37.340 year ago.
00:40:38.900 And I've
00:40:39.380 been hammering
00:40:39.920 on them for
00:40:40.360 a year.
00:40:41.300 Corey
00:40:41.540 DeAngelis has
00:40:42.400 been doing an
00:40:43.140 amazing job
00:40:43.880 hammering on the
00:40:44.680 teachers'
00:40:44.940 unions,
00:40:45.500 trying to get
00:40:45.940 school choice
00:40:47.560 a little bit
00:40:48.320 more accepted.
00:40:49.700 And I
00:40:50.960 feel as if
00:40:51.500 there's been
00:40:51.820 a big
00:40:52.480 change.
00:40:54.000 Now,
00:40:54.380 I've been
00:40:54.680 trying for
00:40:55.240 a long
00:40:55.520 time to
00:40:56.140 paint the
00:40:57.540 teachers'
00:40:58.120 unions as
00:40:58.700 the primary
00:40:59.380 source of
00:41:00.880 systemic
00:41:01.680 racism,
00:41:02.200 because they
00:41:02.940 are.
00:41:03.440 If you
00:41:03.740 fixed
00:41:04.020 education,
00:41:05.520 everything
00:41:05.920 else would
00:41:06.400 go better.
00:41:07.760 There'd
00:41:08.080 still be
00:41:08.380 racism.
00:41:09.340 You can't
00:41:09.840 eliminate that
00:41:10.660 sort of
00:41:10.960 thing,
00:41:11.240 totally.
00:41:12.280 But if
00:41:12.660 everybody
00:41:13.040 got a
00:41:13.480 fair shot
00:41:14.120 at an
00:41:14.600 education,
00:41:15.240 which they
00:41:15.600 don't have
00:41:16.020 now,
00:41:17.460 I feel
00:41:18.200 like the
00:41:18.680 problem of
00:41:19.440 systemic
00:41:19.900 racism would
00:41:20.720 get a lot
00:41:21.240 less,
00:41:22.500 even though
00:41:23.040 it would
00:41:23.320 never go
00:41:23.640 to zero.
00:41:25.180 So,
00:41:27.160 I'm getting
00:41:29.720 lots of
00:41:30.280 suggestions here
00:41:31.560 for how to
00:41:32.820 destroy my
00:41:33.480 printer.
00:41:34.080 I like the
00:41:34.660 trebuchet.
00:41:36.120 Yeah,
00:41:36.820 I might have
00:41:37.820 to build a
00:41:38.280 trebuchet just
00:41:39.060 to see how
00:41:39.460 far I can,
00:41:40.300 did I
00:41:40.780 pronounce that
00:41:41.220 right?
00:41:42.320 To see how
00:41:43.080 far I can
00:41:43.560 toss my
00:41:44.260 printer.
00:41:45.600 All right,
00:41:48.500 let's see.
00:41:50.220 My sense
00:41:50.700 is the
00:41:51.000 teachers'
00:41:51.420 unions are
00:41:51.960 still big,
00:41:52.780 but now
00:41:53.180 very brittle.
00:41:54.580 Yeah,
00:41:54.960 I think so.
00:41:56.080 I feel as
00:41:57.000 if we're
00:41:58.060 getting close
00:41:58.920 to the
00:41:59.300 breaking
00:41:59.600 point.
00:42:01.060 Now,
00:42:01.300 apparently
00:42:01.660 there is
00:42:02.260 more of
00:42:02.700 a waiting
00:42:03.100 list for
00:42:04.080 classic
00:42:04.960 charter
00:42:05.800 schools
00:42:06.500 than
00:42:07.340 there are
00:42:08.520 spaces.
00:42:09.940 So,
00:42:10.380 that makes
00:42:11.580 sense.
00:42:11.940 But there's
00:42:12.220 a waiting
00:42:12.480 list for
00:42:12.960 charter schools.
00:42:13.660 And as
00:42:14.440 long as
00:42:14.840 there is,
00:42:15.420 that pressure
00:42:15.860 is going
00:42:16.160 to continue.
00:42:17.120 And I
00:42:17.320 think there
00:42:17.680 are a lot
00:42:18.000 more prominent
00:42:19.860 people willing
00:42:20.960 to take on
00:42:21.660 the teachers'
00:42:22.300 unions.
00:42:23.360 Have I
00:42:23.780 told you
00:42:24.140 that the
00:42:25.600 government
00:42:26.260 gets to
00:42:26.820 be in
00:42:27.140 charge
00:42:27.620 until they
00:42:28.980 just can't
00:42:29.460 do their
00:42:29.760 job?
00:42:30.780 And then
00:42:31.360 the citizens
00:42:31.980 are in
00:42:33.760 charge?
00:42:34.760 Now,
00:42:35.240 that's not
00:42:35.760 written in
00:42:36.160 the Constitution,
00:42:36.960 right?
00:42:37.880 Nowhere in
00:42:38.520 the Constitution
00:42:39.180 does it say
00:42:40.420 if your
00:42:41.400 leaders are
00:42:42.840 incompetent,
00:42:43.500 you can just
00:42:43.900 take over
00:42:44.420 and just
00:42:44.900 make the
00:42:45.240 decisions for
00:42:45.960 them.
00:42:46.340 It doesn't
00:42:46.840 say that,
00:42:48.320 but it's
00:42:49.300 true.
00:42:51.200 Sometimes,
00:42:52.140 just for
00:42:52.980 whatever reason,
00:42:54.280 our leaders
00:42:54.840 just can't
00:42:55.680 lead.
00:42:57.020 For example,
00:42:58.100 in the
00:42:58.380 coronavirus,
00:42:59.640 leaders can't
00:43:00.720 lead the
00:43:01.200 way we want
00:43:01.780 them to
00:43:02.180 because leaders
00:43:03.320 have to
00:43:03.700 focus on
00:43:04.240 safety over
00:43:05.180 lifestyle.
00:43:06.940 Makes sense.
00:43:07.660 You don't want
00:43:08.100 them to change
00:43:08.620 that.
00:43:08.880 But it
00:43:09.580 requires that
00:43:10.220 toward the
00:43:10.560 end of the
00:43:10.920 pandemic that
00:43:12.140 the citizens
00:43:12.720 take control.
00:43:14.260 And I'll
00:43:14.500 tell you,
00:43:14.900 in my town,
00:43:16.160 it looks like
00:43:16.600 it's already
00:43:16.940 happening.
00:43:17.600 I mean,
00:43:17.820 the masks
00:43:18.300 were pretty
00:43:18.780 much off
00:43:19.240 yesterday.
00:43:24.320 A lot of
00:43:26.380 you want to
00:43:26.740 see my
00:43:27.060 printer be
00:43:27.700 destroyed.
00:43:28.460 I'm just
00:43:28.700 watching the
00:43:29.220 comments go
00:43:30.500 by.
00:43:31.040 Anyway,
00:43:31.360 my point
00:43:31.740 is,
00:43:32.120 with the
00:43:32.580 teachers'
00:43:33.060 unions,
00:43:34.000 neither the
00:43:34.860 Republicans nor
00:43:35.800 the Democrats
00:43:36.480 can go as
00:43:37.240 hard against
00:43:37.880 them as
00:43:38.340 they'd like
00:43:38.860 because the
00:43:39.900 teachers'
00:43:40.340 unions are
00:43:40.760 too strong.
00:43:41.720 So they
00:43:42.020 could fund
00:43:43.380 you to be
00:43:43.960 removed from
00:43:44.560 office if
00:43:45.400 you go
00:43:45.680 against them.
00:43:46.780 So politicians
00:43:47.540 are the wrong
00:43:48.420 tool for
00:43:49.840 fixing school
00:43:50.680 choice because
00:43:52.160 they're too
00:43:52.660 weak compared
00:43:53.600 to the
00:43:54.000 teachers'
00:43:54.480 unions.
00:43:55.520 But I
00:43:56.880 don't have
00:43:57.240 that problem.
00:43:58.800 The teachers'
00:43:59.420 unions can't
00:43:59.980 hurt me.
00:44:01.080 I mean,
00:44:01.560 they could
00:44:01.940 try, but
00:44:02.780 what are they
00:44:03.060 going to do?
00:44:03.680 The teachers'
00:44:04.260 unions can't
00:44:05.160 hurt Corey
00:44:05.980 DeAngelis.
00:44:07.680 The teachers'
00:44:08.240 unions can't
00:44:08.920 hurt any
00:44:09.620 blue Czech
00:44:10.540 person who
00:44:11.300 retweets anything
00:44:12.320 that he or I
00:44:12.960 say about the
00:44:13.740 teachers'
00:44:14.140 unions.
00:44:15.420 And so I
00:44:16.060 would say
00:44:16.560 that this is
00:44:17.960 yet again
00:44:19.240 another case
00:44:20.080 where by
00:44:21.300 design,
00:44:22.440 you know,
00:44:22.720 what it is
00:44:23.260 that it means
00:44:24.140 to be a leader
00:44:24.800 in America
00:44:25.380 and how you
00:44:26.040 get your
00:44:26.380 money and
00:44:26.760 how you get
00:44:27.260 re-elected,
00:44:28.720 by design,
00:44:29.940 our political
00:44:30.660 leaders can't
00:44:31.340 help us on
00:44:31.840 this.
00:44:32.640 It's sort
00:44:33.360 of going to
00:44:33.660 have to come
00:44:34.100 from the
00:44:34.580 parents and
00:44:35.480 the public.
00:44:36.660 So I think
00:44:37.040 the public
00:44:37.440 has just
00:44:37.820 got to take
00:44:38.280 control of
00:44:38.880 this decision.
00:44:40.180 At some
00:44:40.780 point,
00:44:41.200 there's going
00:44:41.500 to be enough
00:44:41.880 public force
00:44:43.080 that the
00:44:44.520 politicians will
00:44:45.320 just have to
00:44:45.820 cave.
00:44:46.640 So we have
00:44:47.360 to be more
00:44:47.860 powerful than
00:44:48.680 the teachers'
00:44:49.280 unions or
00:44:50.560 the teachers'
00:44:51.220 unions get
00:44:51.700 everything they
00:44:52.280 want.
00:44:53.160 So what
00:44:54.460 does social
00:44:55.060 media give
00:44:56.000 you?
00:44:56.840 How many
00:44:57.280 times have I
00:44:57.900 told you
00:44:58.400 that our
00:44:59.880 current form of
00:45:00.800 government is
00:45:01.540 no longer
00:45:02.060 a republic?
00:45:03.760 This is
00:45:04.500 real.
00:45:05.440 We're not a
00:45:06.560 republic anymore.
00:45:07.920 We are
00:45:08.700 something closer
00:45:09.620 to an
00:45:10.280 influencer-based
00:45:11.640 democracy,
00:45:13.780 meaning that
00:45:15.360 we let the
00:45:16.080 public,
00:45:16.540 we let the
00:45:17.080 leaders pick
00:45:18.300 up the
00:45:18.620 garbage and
00:45:19.520 make sure we
00:45:20.680 have the
00:45:20.940 military and
00:45:21.620 do the basic
00:45:22.280 stuff, right?
00:45:23.360 But the
00:45:23.980 moment our
00:45:24.520 leaders can't
00:45:25.920 do a
00:45:26.580 decision,
00:45:27.420 they're just
00:45:27.800 the wrong
00:45:28.360 tool for the
00:45:29.140 job, as
00:45:30.280 they are with
00:45:30.720 coronavirus,
00:45:31.180 once it
00:45:31.880 gets to
00:45:32.220 the end
00:45:32.740 of it,
00:45:33.060 anyway.
00:45:33.940 The public
00:45:34.740 just takes
00:45:35.220 over.
00:45:36.440 And when I
00:45:37.040 say the
00:45:37.380 public takes
00:45:38.000 over, there
00:45:38.540 are usually
00:45:38.940 some
00:45:39.340 influencers,
00:45:40.620 some handful
00:45:41.320 of influencers,
00:45:42.480 who have
00:45:43.020 enough influence
00:45:43.920 that pretty
00:45:45.180 soon they
00:45:45.780 start moving
00:45:46.640 the numbers.
00:45:47.240 voters, if
00:45:47.980 you look at
00:45:48.460 the school
00:45:49.960 choice preference
00:45:52.100 polling, and
00:45:53.760 you look at
00:45:54.140 it today
00:45:54.640 compared to
00:45:55.200 a year ago,
00:45:56.320 pretty big
00:45:56.820 move, right?
00:45:58.160 There's way
00:45:59.000 more interest
00:45:59.740 in school
00:46:01.280 choice than
00:46:01.940 there was
00:46:02.220 even one
00:46:02.780 year ago.
00:46:03.620 Where did
00:46:04.100 that come
00:46:04.540 from?
00:46:06.080 None of it
00:46:06.780 came from
00:46:07.220 our leaders.
00:46:08.680 Correct me
00:46:09.040 if I'm wrong,
00:46:10.520 but name the
00:46:11.720 leader who's
00:46:12.380 always talking
00:46:12.980 about school
00:46:13.620 choice.
00:46:16.980 Who?
00:46:17.960 Now, I know
00:46:18.420 that Republicans
00:46:19.680 talk about it
00:46:20.480 all the time,
00:46:21.400 but it's usually
00:46:22.180 just in a list.
00:46:24.300 There's no
00:46:24.920 leader you
00:46:25.480 can say,
00:46:25.880 oh, that's
00:46:26.640 the school
00:46:28.060 choice person.
00:46:29.820 In the way
00:46:30.380 that you can
00:46:30.800 say AOC is
00:46:31.800 sort of a
00:46:32.300 climate change
00:46:33.440 leader, like
00:46:36.040 it or not,
00:46:36.840 I mean, she's
00:46:37.300 associated with
00:46:37.960 it.
00:46:39.300 But who is
00:46:40.360 the leader
00:46:40.940 who's going
00:46:42.420 against the
00:46:42.960 teachers'
00:46:43.820 unions?
00:46:46.060 They just
00:46:46.740 talk about it.
00:46:47.840 Trump talks
00:46:48.400 about it a
00:46:48.840 little bit.
00:46:49.740 He doesn't
00:46:50.220 really try
00:46:50.820 too hard,
00:46:51.880 right?
00:46:53.660 Yeah, so
00:46:54.620 my point is
00:46:55.700 that the
00:46:56.080 public does
00:46:56.760 run the
00:46:57.100 country at
00:46:57.540 this point
00:46:58.020 via influencers,
00:47:00.380 via social
00:47:00.980 media, which
00:47:02.120 eventually will
00:47:02.800 push the news
00:47:03.520 business, which
00:47:04.280 will eventually
00:47:04.720 push the
00:47:05.220 politicians.
00:47:06.400 But for
00:47:07.040 these complicated
00:47:07.980 ones, it's
00:47:08.880 the public.
00:47:09.940 The public
00:47:10.340 is already
00:47:10.820 in charge.
00:47:11.280 used to
00:47:15.620 be Betsy
00:47:16.180 DeVos.
00:47:16.800 Yeah, but
00:47:17.680 Betsy DeVos,
00:47:18.900 when you
00:47:19.880 have that
00:47:20.340 job, you
00:47:23.520 just don't
00:47:23.900 get much
00:47:24.300 attention if
00:47:25.260 you're in
00:47:26.260 the cabinet.
00:47:28.760 Yeah, all
00:47:29.300 the Republicans
00:47:30.060 talk about it,
00:47:31.140 but it's not
00:47:31.540 like a big
00:47:32.020 theme.
00:47:32.720 It's not
00:47:33.020 like climate
00:47:33.520 change or
00:47:33.980 anything.
00:47:34.300 It should
00:47:34.560 be, but
00:47:35.300 it's not.
00:47:36.240 Did you
00:47:36.660 hear the
00:47:36.920 story?
00:47:37.240 There was
00:47:37.500 just a
00:47:38.060 massive amount
00:47:38.900 of fentanyl
00:47:39.640 that got
00:47:40.080 captured at
00:47:41.200 the border.
00:47:43.020 Massive
00:47:43.460 amount.
00:47:44.860 Now, you
00:47:45.220 know that
00:47:45.620 that mostly
00:47:46.400 comes from
00:47:46.860 China.
00:47:48.100 So now we
00:47:48.600 know that
00:47:48.940 China is
00:47:49.400 killing us
00:47:49.960 with fentanyl
00:47:50.720 intentionally,
00:47:52.000 and we
00:47:52.920 know that
00:47:53.380 the coronavirus
00:47:54.080 came from
00:47:55.220 the Wuhan
00:47:55.680 lab.
00:47:56.820 We don't
00:47:57.160 know the
00:47:57.500 details of
00:47:58.060 that, but
00:47:58.960 would it be
00:47:59.480 fair to say
00:48:00.020 that we
00:48:00.380 are already
00:48:00.900 losing a
00:48:01.820 chemical and
00:48:02.440 biological war
00:48:03.380 to China?
00:48:04.800 So China
00:48:05.220 is polluting
00:48:06.280 our atmosphere,
00:48:07.240 which will
00:48:07.480 cause us to
00:48:08.140 spend massively
00:48:09.120 on climate
00:48:09.860 change, because
00:48:10.720 they're polluting
00:48:11.320 it, sending
00:48:12.400 us fentanyl
00:48:13.720 and coronavirus.
00:48:16.520 It's basically
00:48:17.240 full-scale
00:48:18.440 World War
00:48:19.160 III chemical
00:48:20.580 warfare,
00:48:21.540 chemical
00:48:21.880 biological
00:48:22.480 warfare.
00:48:23.980 We're in
00:48:24.540 it.
00:48:24.980 I mean, we're
00:48:25.360 in the middle
00:48:25.800 of a gigantic
00:48:26.820 war that
00:48:28.120 just took
00:48:28.580 half a million
00:48:29.120 casualties this
00:48:30.020 year, but
00:48:30.940 we just act
00:48:31.480 like it's
00:48:31.860 something else.
00:48:33.840 So I'm
00:48:35.460 not on the
00:48:35.920 side that says
00:48:36.540 that China
00:48:38.020 released any
00:48:39.200 kind of
00:48:39.560 virus
00:48:39.900 intentionally.
00:48:41.200 I think
00:48:41.520 that would
00:48:41.820 be crazy.
00:48:43.260 Like, you
00:48:43.760 know, even
00:48:44.540 if you could
00:48:44.980 imagine they
00:48:45.820 had some
00:48:46.220 kind of a
00:48:46.760 way they
00:48:47.200 could come
00:48:47.540 out ahead
00:48:47.960 by doing
00:48:48.400 it, I
00:48:50.240 just don't
00:48:50.700 see any
00:48:51.180 leader doing
00:48:51.800 that.
00:48:52.640 Just don't
00:48:53.140 see it.
00:48:57.860 That would
00:48:58.520 be fair to
00:48:59.060 say, tell.
00:49:00.660 I mean, are
00:49:01.820 you saying,
00:49:02.360 Paul, that
00:49:03.220 that I'm
00:49:04.600 going into
00:49:05.020 too much
00:49:05.360 hyperbole?
00:49:08.500 That's how
00:49:09.080 the big
00:49:09.480 lie works,
00:49:10.920 bruh.
00:49:11.960 What is
00:49:12.640 how the
00:49:12.960 big lie
00:49:13.280 works?
00:49:14.840 How many
00:49:15.460 of you
00:49:15.720 believe the
00:49:16.720 big lie,
00:49:18.540 meaning that
00:49:19.440 it's proven
00:49:20.820 that the
00:49:21.280 election was
00:49:21.920 fair and
00:49:22.840 untainted,
00:49:24.160 and that
00:49:24.560 anybody who
00:49:25.220 suggests it's
00:49:25.960 not is part
00:49:27.240 of the big
00:49:27.620 lie?
00:49:28.400 How many
00:49:28.900 of you
00:49:29.260 watching this
00:49:29.960 video, buy
00:49:32.160 into the
00:49:32.600 notion that
00:49:33.360 that's the
00:49:34.060 big lie?
00:49:35.160 How many
00:49:35.540 of you?
00:49:37.880 Because that's
00:49:38.800 pure brainwashing.
00:49:42.460 If you buy
00:49:43.500 into that
00:49:44.020 phrase, the
00:49:44.680 big lie,
00:49:46.020 you've bought
00:49:47.120 into one of
00:49:48.700 the most
00:49:49.120 blatant,
00:49:50.860 pure brainwashing
00:49:52.420 persuasion plays
00:49:54.040 of all time.
00:49:55.100 Because you
00:49:55.900 can't really
00:49:56.520 know what
00:49:57.500 happened in
00:49:59.000 the thing you
00:49:59.500 didn't look
00:49:59.940 for, or
00:50:00.880 you haven't
00:50:01.280 looked for
00:50:01.740 completely.
00:50:02.880 You can't
00:50:03.420 know something
00:50:03.980 isn't there
00:50:04.560 if you
00:50:05.240 didn't look.
00:50:06.480 So the
00:50:07.040 certainty with
00:50:07.940 which the
00:50:08.500 big lie
00:50:09.780 is branded
00:50:11.080 as, you
00:50:11.740 know, we
00:50:12.480 know this
00:50:12.960 to be true,
00:50:13.960 that it's
00:50:14.340 a lie,
00:50:15.660 it's amazing.
00:50:18.720 It's amazing
00:50:19.360 that that's
00:50:20.760 even legal.
00:50:22.480 Let me go
00:50:23.080 further.
00:50:24.400 It shouldn't
00:50:25.000 be legal to
00:50:26.220 use the
00:50:26.680 phrase the
00:50:27.160 big lie.
00:50:28.500 It shouldn't
00:50:29.020 be legal.
00:50:29.940 Because it
00:50:31.140 does make
00:50:31.680 a claim
00:50:32.360 that's not
00:50:33.380 true, and
00:50:34.760 that not
00:50:35.300 true claim
00:50:36.060 that we
00:50:36.480 know for
00:50:36.880 sure what
00:50:37.740 the result
00:50:38.480 was either
00:50:38.900 fair or
00:50:39.340 unfair, my
00:50:40.900 take is that
00:50:41.720 we couldn't
00:50:42.140 know.
00:50:42.780 It's unknowable
00:50:43.820 given that
00:50:44.920 nobody was
00:50:45.360 looking for
00:50:45.900 it and it
00:50:46.260 wasn't
00:50:46.520 transparent.
00:50:48.300 So it
00:50:50.260 feels like it
00:50:50.760 should be
00:50:51.060 illegal to
00:50:52.260 just blatantly
00:50:53.360 do fake
00:50:54.740 news like
00:50:55.480 that.
00:50:55.680 the great
00:50:58.340 thing about
00:50:58.660 education is
00:50:59.460 the teachers
00:50:59.980 unions are
00:51:00.700 being hollowed
00:51:01.400 down by
00:51:01.820 local individual
00:51:02.680 decisions.
00:51:04.040 That's right.
00:51:04.900 There will be
00:51:05.300 enough people
00:51:05.980 who are going
00:51:06.860 to homeschool
00:51:07.520 that two
00:51:08.860 things are
00:51:09.200 going to
00:51:09.340 happen.
00:51:09.680 One, it's
00:51:10.660 going to make
00:51:11.000 it more
00:51:11.280 obvious that
00:51:11.880 the schools
00:51:12.320 need to
00:51:12.740 compete or
00:51:13.360 fail.
00:51:14.960 And number
00:51:15.580 two, the
00:51:16.000 homeschooling,
00:51:16.940 if you get
00:51:17.420 more and more
00:51:17.960 people homeschooling,
00:51:19.360 then the
00:51:19.840 technology and
00:51:21.020 the systems
00:51:21.740 which do
00:51:23.060 homeschooling
00:51:23.860 will just
00:51:24.620 get better.
00:51:25.540 And apparently
00:51:25.920 they're really
00:51:26.360 good now,
00:51:27.120 so they'll
00:51:27.480 just keep
00:51:27.840 getting better.
00:51:34.400 All right.
00:51:40.120 Yes, teachers
00:51:41.160 are good and
00:51:42.480 unions, teachers
00:51:44.460 unions are bad.
00:51:46.100 Not unions
00:51:46.780 are bad, but
00:51:47.380 teachers unions
00:51:48.100 are bad.
00:51:48.500 somebody says
00:51:51.700 the big lie
00:51:52.360 is that
00:51:52.700 Biden won.
00:51:54.960 That's no
00:51:55.680 more smart.
00:51:57.500 You know,
00:51:57.940 if you're
00:51:59.100 going to say
00:51:59.540 that we know
00:52:00.200 for sure
00:52:00.820 either way,
00:52:03.440 that's just
00:52:03.960 not where the
00:52:05.480 smart people
00:52:06.000 should be.
00:52:07.100 The smart
00:52:07.360 people,
00:52:08.920 here's the
00:52:09.440 smartest opinion
00:52:10.600 because it's
00:52:11.760 mine.
00:52:14.700 Defenestrate
00:52:15.180 the printer.
00:52:16.380 Maybe I
00:52:16.820 will.
00:52:17.040 The smartest
00:52:18.800 opinion on
00:52:19.480 the election
00:52:19.960 credibility is
00:52:23.100 that we
00:52:23.520 can't know
00:52:24.220 because we
00:52:26.040 haven't looked
00:52:26.440 for it.
00:52:27.760 So we
00:52:28.320 don't know
00:52:28.660 if it was
00:52:28.940 fair or
00:52:29.280 not fair.
00:52:29.720 It's
00:52:29.840 unknowable.
00:52:31.120 But we
00:52:31.740 do know
00:52:32.120 that the
00:52:32.480 system has
00:52:33.240 installed the
00:52:34.400 president.
00:52:34.900 So the
00:52:35.200 system did
00:52:35.700 what the
00:52:36.020 system did.
00:52:37.280 So I
00:52:37.580 would say
00:52:37.820 that the
00:52:38.300 system gave
00:52:39.660 us a
00:52:39.920 president,
00:52:40.880 and that's
00:52:41.600 fine.
00:52:43.620 Somebody
00:52:44.100 says,
00:52:44.580 Scott's ego
00:52:45.400 is taking
00:52:46.040 over.
00:52:47.040 Well,
00:52:48.320 you get
00:52:49.080 banned for
00:52:49.800 that.
00:52:52.420 What will
00:52:53.220 I do?
00:52:53.660 Shall I
00:52:54.100 just hide
00:52:55.260 you so
00:52:57.000 you don't
00:52:57.320 exist anymore?
00:53:00.860 Keep in
00:53:01.620 mind that all
00:53:02.320 criticism is
00:53:03.400 welcome,
00:53:04.600 but you have
00:53:05.520 to give a
00:53:05.900 reason.
00:53:07.560 Scott's ego
00:53:08.400 is taking
00:53:09.680 over.
00:53:10.180 It's not a
00:53:10.860 reason.
00:53:11.120 person.
00:53:12.220 And if
00:53:12.700 there's
00:53:12.960 somebody
00:53:13.220 here who
00:53:13.720 operates
00:53:14.220 without
00:53:14.580 their
00:53:15.000 ego,
00:53:16.180 please let
00:53:16.700 me know,
00:53:17.580 because I
00:53:17.940 would like
00:53:18.200 to meet
00:53:18.500 such an
00:53:18.940 amazing
00:53:19.280 person.
00:53:23.620 All right.
00:53:25.740 Oligarchs do
00:53:26.360 work.
00:53:27.020 I don't know
00:53:27.380 what that
00:53:27.600 means.
00:53:32.020 Logic
00:53:32.420 arguments,
00:53:33.220 please.
00:53:35.500 Yes.
00:53:36.000 Yes,
00:53:36.300 please.
00:53:36.900 All right.
00:53:37.220 That's all I
00:53:37.560 got for now.
00:53:37.960 I'm just
00:53:38.440 babbling and
00:53:39.100 I will talk
00:53:39.500 to you
00:53:39.800 tomorrow.
