Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1378 Scott Adams： UFOs Confirmed, Fake News Tries Erasing Trump's Obvious Successes, Virus Gain of Function

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! 0.95

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. 0.98

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. 1.00

00:05:18.560 So, you know, and Israel is getting bigger and stronger every day. 0.95

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, 0.95

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. 0.98

00:07:24.600 So, it's exactly what it was intended to do, which is isolate the Palestinian situation 1.00

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. 0.59

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. 1.00

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 0.99

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 0.81

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 0.71

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 0.68

00:34:18.220 be huge.

00:34:19.780 Michael

00:34:20.320 Smirconish 0.97

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, 0.98

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 0.91

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 0.68

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' 0.80

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' 0.80

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' 0.80

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' 0.80

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' 0.80

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' 0.80

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' 0.80

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' 0.80

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' 0.80

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 0.89

00:43:59.980 hurt me. 0.53

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 0.89

00:44:05.160 hurt Corey

00:44:05.980 DeAngelis.

00:44:07.680 The teachers'

00:44:08.240 unions can't 0.89

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' 0.80

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' 0.80

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 0.94

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 0.85

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 0.92

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 0.93

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 1.00

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.
