Transcript

00:00:00.000 Well, I've been told that some people miss the simultaneous sip
00:00:08.860 because there's some kind of a 30-second delay or something that happens.
00:00:13.340 So let me talk about something else, and then we'll do the simultaneous sip.
00:00:18.140 Well, I just got my second shot yesterday, my vaccination, Moderna.
00:00:25.940 And how do I feel the next day?
00:00:27.840 Well, I'd like to get the license plate of the truck that ran over me
00:00:33.040 and then backed up over me and then ran over me again
00:00:36.460 and then backed up over me and then ran over me again
00:00:39.920 because I'm not feeling 100% today.
00:00:47.080 You know, it's the strangest thing because if you...
00:00:50.660 The simultaneous sip is coming, by the way.
00:00:52.940 It's the strangest thing because if you had ever told me,
00:00:56.220 Hey, Scott, we're going to schedule a specific illness for you.
00:01:01.880 It'll be on this day. Set your watch.
00:01:05.040 From about this day to about this day, you're going to feel like you got run over by a truck.
00:01:10.620 You know, welcome to it.
00:01:12.880 And there's a weird psychology to this that I wasn't expecting,
00:01:16.700 which is I was weirdly looking forward to it.
00:01:19.480 Did anybody have this experience?
00:01:22.580 Because I don't expect that, you know, whatever I'm feeling for two days is going to kill me.
00:01:27.200 So I don't have any legitimate worry about, you know, death or something.
00:01:32.840 But I did have sort of a competitive feeling and a curiosity
00:01:39.680 about how much the vaccination itself would kick my ass.
00:01:43.060 And I felt like it was a contest.
00:01:46.020 And for weeks, I've been thinking, bring it on.
00:01:48.640 Bring it on. Let's see what my body can do.
00:01:51.100 And I don't know how to explain it,
00:01:53.300 but I was weirdly looking forward to the next two days of feeling bad.
00:01:59.540 And I don't know why that is exactly.
00:02:02.300 Like, if I understood that, I'd know something about myself.
00:02:05.700 But I know why you're here.
00:02:06.980 You'd like the simultaneous sip.
00:02:08.260 And if you'd like to enjoy it to its maximum potential.
00:02:12.160 And don't you?
00:02:12.960 Yes, you do. You do.
00:02:14.380 All you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or gel,
00:02:16.300 a canteen jug, a glass, a vessel of any kind.
00:02:19.280 Fill it with your favorite liquid I like.
00:02:21.680 Coffee.
00:02:23.040 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,
00:02:25.260 the dopamine of the day,
00:02:26.180 the thing that makes, oh, everything better.
00:02:29.020 Everything.
00:02:30.020 It's called the simultaneous sip.
00:02:31.660 And it's going to happen now all over the world.
00:02:34.500 Go.
00:02:34.740 Go.
00:02:42.500 Yep.
00:02:44.620 I feel like I'm coming back.
00:02:48.440 Coming back.
00:02:50.780 Barry, I'm not going to read that comment,
00:02:53.580 but thank you for it.
00:02:57.280 So, Israel, apparently some researchers have discovered
00:03:01.120 a way to increase the life expectancy of rodents.
00:03:05.740 So, they got 250 rodents and they changed this protein supply, S-I-R-T-6.
00:03:13.620 And I guess when they tweaked that protein, these mice, these rodents,
00:03:21.500 they don't say mice, they say rodents, so it could be chipmunks.
00:03:24.180 We don't know.
00:03:24.660 But these rodents, they lived much longer.
00:03:28.540 And I would like to thank science for, I don't know,
00:03:34.520 there's one thing that I've thought this world needed more than just about anything.
00:03:38.780 And it was rodents who live much longer.
00:03:42.460 So, good news, Israel has made rodents, at least the possibility that rodents can live a lot longer.
00:03:50.700 Oh, wait, there's more to the story.
00:03:54.820 Oh, oh, this is good news.
00:03:56.360 They think they might be able to apply this to humans someday.
00:03:59.820 Yeah, here I thought it was a story about making rodents live longer,
00:04:02.640 but apparently this is more about people, if you really interpret it correctly.
00:04:08.020 So, there's this protein and they think they might be able to, in three years,
00:04:12.860 they might be able to give you a pill that'll make you live 20% longer.
00:04:18.820 Do you believe that?
00:04:21.420 Here's one of the advantages of being my age.
00:04:26.040 If you happen to be a young person watching this, you might have said to yourself,
00:04:31.020 wow, researchers found a way to extend life by 20%?
00:04:36.540 That must be pretty good.
00:04:39.280 If you're my age, you say, this would be the 276th story exactly like this one.
00:04:50.700 So far, all the other stories turned out to be bullshit or never came about, but this one's real.
00:04:59.860 Oh, this one's real.
00:05:01.020 Hmm, maybe.
00:05:04.180 Maybe.
00:05:05.320 Every day that goes by, we're probably closer to a day when there is a real one.
00:05:11.340 So, we're at least closer than we were to having something real.
00:05:14.420 Is this the one?
00:05:15.700 Is this the one that's real?
00:05:17.060 The one that really extends our lifetime and all the other ones were fake?
00:05:23.420 Maybe.
00:05:23.980 Here's a trick for spotting fake news.
00:05:29.320 Doesn't work every time.
00:05:31.520 Works very often.
00:05:33.660 Not every time.
00:05:34.520 And it goes like this.
00:05:36.160 There are categories of things which, if anything pops up in that category, you can just discount it.
00:05:44.560 All right?
00:05:45.160 For example, let's say somebody says, I was abducted by an alien spaceship.
00:05:51.680 Probed.
00:05:52.620 Brought back to Earth.
00:05:53.400 Unharmed.
00:05:53.900 That is in a category of stories that you don't really need to dig into the details of the specific new one to know it's not true.
00:06:03.960 Because it's in that category.
00:06:06.920 Another category is life extension.
00:06:10.240 So, if you see one of these stories, it's in that category of things that are basically never true.
00:06:16.360 So far.
00:06:17.720 But, someday.
00:06:19.220 Someday, one of these will be true, I think.
00:06:21.140 I just don't know which one it is.
00:06:23.900 Well, it looks like Ron DeSantis is continuing his march toward the presidency.
00:06:31.480 If he keeps doing things that are this popular with Republicans, I don't know how he could not get nominated.
00:06:38.840 Unless Trump runs.
00:06:40.180 If Trump runs, I think he'll get nominated.
00:06:43.120 But if Trump does not run for some reason, DeSantis is really setting himself up pretty well.
00:06:48.840 Or maybe for vice president, which would set him up to run for president later.
00:06:53.900 But he's signed a law making it illegal to have transgender athletes playing on, how do they word it?
00:07:04.000 It bans people whose biological sex is listed as male from participating in women's sports from middle school through college.
00:07:12.480 Now, what do you think about that?
00:07:16.980 Well, I feel that's halfway right.
00:07:21.940 That's about half right.
00:07:23.660 Here's the half that I don't like.
00:07:25.340 I think trans athletes should have equal access to sports.
00:07:32.620 And I'm not entirely sure that just having biological male and biological female sports quite meets their needs.
00:07:40.740 I'll tell you what would, and also would meet lots of other people's needs.
00:07:46.200 So you wouldn't be doing something really special just for one population, but you would be doing something that would just work for everyone.
00:07:53.620 It goes like this.
00:07:55.660 Have more co-ed teams.
00:07:58.060 That's it.
00:07:58.800 Just have more co-ed teams.
00:08:00.560 And if you're a co-ed team, it doesn't matter what you identify with.
00:08:03.700 It just depends.
00:08:05.120 Are you one of the good players on a co-ed team?
00:08:08.040 Well, then you play in the higher level team.
00:08:10.400 Are you one of the bad players, no matter what your gender is?
00:08:13.420 Are you one of the bad players?
00:08:15.020 Well, then you play at the lower co-ed team.
00:08:17.840 So I've always said that the real problem is that we have teams separated by gender in the first place.
00:08:24.560 Now, I do understand that we have a tradition that, you know, some athletes win scholarships, etc.
00:08:30.580 And so it does make a difference if you're biologically female.
00:08:35.540 It could make a difference that you're not the top athlete on your team.
00:08:41.500 Maybe you don't get a scholarship.
00:08:43.780 Maybe if you were the top athlete, you would.
00:08:46.260 So definitely there's some edge cases where it's just bad for women who were born biological women.
00:08:54.400 So I don't think you need to take that away from them.
00:08:57.100 Because it's always cruel to take something away from somebody after they're used to it.
00:09:02.280 So I think we could keep the teams the way we have.
00:09:04.480 I think Ron DeSantis making this change protects one group at the expense of another.
00:09:10.160 That's the way it always works.
00:09:11.960 But I do think that transgender athletes should have more opportunity to play.
00:09:16.540 Just maybe on co-ed teams.
00:09:18.800 Almost all professional sports do not have a gender requirement.
00:09:26.020 It just folds out that way.
00:09:28.420 Yeah.
00:09:29.380 So I think we can protect people and also make more opportunity for everybody.
00:09:35.220 So maybe we can make a win-win here.
00:09:39.100 I got a question for you.
00:09:40.540 Try to decide if all these states that are doing voting day changes, or just voting changes,
00:09:49.060 how many of them are just good hygiene for an election,
00:09:54.900 meaning that you'd all want that rule because it just makes it safer from any kind of fraud.
00:10:01.040 So how many of the rules are really just common sense, making things better?
00:10:05.120 And how many of the rules are cleverly designed to target one group to suppress the vote?
00:10:13.680 And one example that was given of that latter kind,
00:10:16.880 the kind that might be designed to really prohibit black voting, is the thinking here.
00:10:23.880 And I forget which state it is, but there's at least one state that is proposing
00:10:29.140 or has a Sunday prohibition on voting before 11 a.m.
00:10:33.320 And I said to myself, why is that even being talked about?
00:10:41.100 Like, why is that even a thing?
00:10:43.140 What would be the problem with voting before 11 a.m.?
00:10:46.800 And why did we ever have it?
00:10:49.080 And why are we changing it?
00:10:51.120 Now, the thinking that I've been told, yeah, is that there's a church relationship.
00:10:57.400 In other words, apparently there's a long tradition of black voters going to church
00:11:03.240 and then using sort of the peer pressure or just the energy from church
00:11:08.140 to go immediately to vote.
00:11:10.860 And presumably, if you take that church energy and transform it into votes,
00:11:17.220 you'd probably get more voters.
00:11:19.240 Probably get more voters.
00:11:21.740 Right?
00:11:22.660 So what happens if you change that and say,
00:11:24.920 oh, now you can't vote before 11 a.m.?
00:11:27.120 Does it target black voters?
00:11:31.940 Does it?
00:11:33.340 I'd say yes.
00:11:34.960 Yes.
00:11:35.600 If, in fact, it's true that black churches have this tradition,
00:11:39.620 maybe white churches don't.
00:11:42.320 I don't know if they do or they don't.
00:11:44.160 But let's say that the people who made the rule were aware of that
00:11:47.500 and they knew that it would make a difference of who voted.
00:11:51.900 Does it matter?
00:11:55.220 Does it matter?
00:11:57.060 Because let me ask you this.
00:11:59.400 So here's a story just to give you some context.
00:12:03.660 Imagine, if you will, that there were some rules in place
00:12:07.360 that made it more likely for white people to vote.
00:12:11.720 I don't know what that rule would be.
00:12:13.680 But it's something that just makes white people more likely to vote.
00:12:17.960 And there's a rule change.
00:12:20.500 And then somebody says, hey, this also has maybe some risk to it,
00:12:25.060 so let's change it.
00:12:26.860 So now white people don't have as many opportunities to vote
00:12:30.560 in that narrow way that got changed,
00:12:32.500 but they can still vote, just like everybody else.
00:12:35.480 Would you say white people were targeted?
00:12:39.200 Would you?
00:12:40.380 Because I don't believe there are any kind of voting changes
00:12:42.720 that don't target people.
00:12:43.780 Wouldn't it be true that every change to the voting system
00:12:49.060 targets a group?
00:12:51.200 Probably.
00:12:52.180 Probably there's nothing you can change,
00:12:54.360 even if you were just going to say,
00:12:55.560 oh, randomly, I'll just reach into some rule
00:12:58.240 and I'll randomly change it.
00:12:59.940 I feel like it would target somebody,
00:13:02.080 even if you didn't intend it.
00:13:04.000 So here's the question.
00:13:06.000 Suppose there's one group who has a set of rules
00:13:08.660 that actually work really well for them,
00:13:10.560 such as voting in the morning after church.
00:13:15.040 Is it wrong to take that away?
00:13:17.800 Because it was sort of a special privilege, wasn't it?
00:13:21.840 Privilege is the wrong word.
00:13:23.400 It was more, I don't even want to say accommodation.
00:13:26.820 I don't know exactly what the right word is.
00:13:28.220 But it was a set of laws that favored a group.
00:13:33.940 It would be allowing voting in the morning on Sunday
00:13:36.640 would allow and maybe favor more black votes.
00:13:40.560 Is that good or bad?
00:13:42.920 It should be neither.
00:13:44.880 It should be neither.
00:13:46.260 Because all of our voting laws
00:13:48.680 favor or don't favor somebody.
00:13:51.780 And so, I don't know,
00:13:53.380 should one group have a special advantage?
00:13:57.660 You know, we're all in favor of making it easy to vote
00:14:00.560 and certainly allowing people to vote on Sunday morning
00:14:03.440 would make it easier, right?
00:14:05.500 And we'd all agree with that.
00:14:06.620 It makes it easier.
00:14:07.300 So, why would you make something less easy?
00:14:10.620 Well, there might be a reason.
00:14:12.000 I just don't know it.
00:14:13.280 I heard somebody say it was harder to get people to work the polls
00:14:17.180 on Sunday morning, but I don't believe that.
00:14:20.460 There will always be enough people to work the polls.
00:14:23.920 Anyway, so that's just an open question for you.
00:14:25.960 If anybody knows the answer,
00:14:28.400 was there any legitimate reason
00:14:30.560 for changing the time of voting on Sunday morning?
00:14:34.400 Legitimate meaning something about reducing fraud
00:14:37.380 or even expense, I guess.
00:14:40.860 But if not,
00:14:42.400 then it does look like it just targeted black people.
00:14:45.280 I don't know how you could interpret it any other way,
00:14:47.620 but I'd like to hear the other argument,
00:14:49.180 and for some reason I haven't.
00:14:51.040 If there is one, maybe there is none.
00:14:52.480 CNN says that three out of four people,
00:14:56.600 in some kind of a poll,
00:14:58.660 three out of four people believe
00:15:00.960 that they're better at spotting fake news
00:15:03.120 than they really are.
00:15:05.000 And they report that Republicans are the worst,
00:15:08.160 the worst at believing fake news.
00:15:11.480 So, what do you think of this story?
00:15:15.020 CNN tells you that Republicans are the worst
00:15:17.820 at believing fake news.
00:15:19.920 Is this real news?
00:15:24.880 Because I think it might be fake news
00:15:26.960 about fake news.
00:15:29.140 I think they gave you the rare
00:15:31.380 fake news, fake news.
00:15:34.340 Now, we don't see fake news, fake news often.
00:15:37.860 Usually it's just fake news.
00:15:40.040 But this is actually fake news about fake news,
00:15:42.960 and it's kind of brilliant.
00:15:45.220 So let's dig into this a little bit.
00:15:48.300 Here's my question.
00:15:49.920 In order to know if somebody is good or bad
00:15:52.740 at identifying fake news,
00:15:55.440 how do you determine that?
00:15:57.860 Logically.
00:15:58.880 How could you determine
00:16:00.180 if any of us are good or bad
00:16:02.440 at believing or being, you know,
00:16:05.480 taken in by fake news?
00:16:07.480 Well, logically, the only way you could do it
00:16:10.100 is to present a test
00:16:12.220 and have people answer the test,
00:16:15.040 and then you can see
00:16:16.020 how many fake news things they believed.
00:16:18.260 You know, does this person believe
00:16:20.420 more fake news than this person?
00:16:23.080 That's the only way you could do it, right?
00:16:24.960 Is there any other way you could know
00:16:26.640 if some group is better at identifying it
00:16:29.460 other than just to give them a test?
00:16:32.260 Now, here's the question.
00:16:35.120 Who grades the test?
00:16:36.860 And who makes the test?
00:16:40.880 For example,
00:16:42.740 was the Charlottesville fine people hoax
00:16:45.960 on the test?
00:16:48.580 Because I'll bet it wasn't.
00:16:51.200 Was the, let's say,
00:16:53.680 the hoax that President Trump suggested
00:16:57.860 drinking bleach for the coronavirus,
00:17:00.640 was that on the test, CNN?
00:17:02.980 Was it?
00:17:03.600 Because I'll bet that was right there
00:17:05.300 on the test, wasn't it?
00:17:06.860 Of course not.
00:17:08.500 Of course not.
00:17:10.140 And did the test say,
00:17:11.380 do you believe that Russia
00:17:12.880 helped Trump get elected?
00:17:15.980 What's the right answer?
00:17:17.880 Is the right answer yes?
00:17:19.680 Or is the right answer no?
00:17:21.400 So the beauty of this fake news
00:17:23.680 about fake news from CNN
00:17:25.560 is really diabolical.
00:17:27.480 Like so much so that I'm actually,
00:17:29.140 I have to actually compliment them.
00:17:32.520 This is so weaseltastic.
00:17:35.980 It's one of the coolest things
00:17:37.440 I've ever seen in the weasel category.
00:17:40.560 Now, keep in mind
00:17:41.660 that I'm also somebody
00:17:43.360 who sees stories about serial killers.
00:17:46.000 And often I think to myself,
00:17:47.780 well, that person is really well organized.
00:17:50.280 There's a serial killer
00:17:51.480 who puts some work into it.
00:17:52.780 And I appreciate hard work.
00:17:54.400 Oh yeah, I don't like the serial killing.
00:17:56.400 Totally against that.
00:17:57.560 But if I'm being fair,
00:18:00.200 the serial killer is very industrious
00:18:01.920 and seems to have his act together
00:18:03.900 in terms of engineering and planning.
00:18:07.760 So CNN, I compliment you
00:18:09.780 on this fake news about fake news.
00:18:11.920 And if you could get people to believe
00:18:13.700 that there is some source in the world
00:18:15.780 that knows which news is fake
00:18:17.980 and they graded these tests,
00:18:21.320 good for you.
00:18:22.600 Because that's the most ridiculous fucking thing
00:18:25.240 I've ever heard in my life.
00:18:26.720 There is no way
00:18:28.320 that CNN has access to somebody
00:18:30.860 who can tell what the fake news is.
00:18:33.480 Do you know how I know that?
00:18:35.720 Because if such a person existed,
00:18:38.760 I think they would get invited on TV
00:18:40.600 to talk about all the fake news.
00:18:42.960 Wouldn't they?
00:18:43.860 Every time there's a new fake news
00:18:45.560 or a question about whether something's real,
00:18:48.060 wouldn't you invite that hypothetical person
00:18:50.480 who is so well informed
00:18:52.180 that they alone among humans
00:18:55.140 can tell which news is fake?
00:18:58.580 They should be on TV a lot,
00:19:00.140 don't you think?
00:19:01.320 Get that pundit on TV.
00:19:02.940 There's somebody who knows
00:19:03.780 what the fake news is.
00:19:06.500 But of course,
00:19:07.240 such a person does not exist.
00:19:10.000 But CNN would like you to believe it.
00:19:11.260 So Biden, I guess,
00:19:13.440 was talking,
00:19:15.020 was he in Tulsa,
00:19:16.240 talking about the Tulsa-Oklahoma massacre,
00:19:19.280 and the so-called Black Wall Street,
00:19:21.800 apparently it was a very prosperous area.
00:19:24.360 Black people were doing great,
00:19:26.220 historically speaking.
00:19:27.160 And there was this horrendous slaughter.
00:19:33.620 I don't know, 300 people died
00:19:35.080 just because they were black and prosperous,
00:19:38.020 apparently.
00:19:38.660 And the whites just attacked them
00:19:40.620 and killed a bunch of people
00:19:42.140 and destroyed their area of the city.
00:19:44.960 Now, here's what bothers me the most
00:19:47.160 about this story,
00:19:49.160 beyond the fact that the story itself
00:19:51.160 is a horror.
00:19:53.060 But beyond the story,
00:19:55.060 why didn't I know this?
00:19:57.300 How many of you knew this?
00:20:00.280 Like, really?
00:20:01.280 Why didn't I know this already?
00:20:03.040 Because I didn't know this.
00:20:04.280 I consider myself not a historian by any means,
00:20:07.760 but I feel like I at least know
00:20:09.680 which big stories exist, right?
00:20:12.960 I feel as though, you know,
00:20:14.780 maybe I don't know the details
00:20:16.120 of the Tuskegee tests or whatever,
00:20:20.700 but I know it exists.
00:20:23.480 How many of you...
00:20:25.040 I'm looking at your comments.
00:20:26.360 So I'm seeing a number of you
00:20:27.860 said yes, that you did know,
00:20:29.840 and a number of you said
00:20:31.040 that you didn't.
00:20:33.360 Yeah, Nick Reese says it was a shock.
00:20:35.840 That's how I took it.
00:20:37.140 Because there are some stories
00:20:38.360 that are so horrible,
00:20:40.140 you read them and your brain
00:20:42.060 almost can't accept them.
00:20:44.600 I mean, I read this story and I thought,
00:20:46.320 I thought I'd heard everything bad
00:20:48.360 that there could be,
00:20:49.240 but this is like evil on a level
00:20:52.340 that I was unaware of.
00:20:54.920 And I feel like it was useful.
00:20:57.380 So I'm going to give Joe Biden a compliment
00:21:01.200 because I do think,
00:21:04.420 you know, it's one thing to interpret your history
00:21:06.760 in a specific way,
00:21:08.560 you know, critical race theory, etc.
00:21:09.920 But it's another thing
00:21:11.720 not to even know it,
00:21:13.580 to not even know the history.
00:21:15.400 This was really, really important
00:21:17.400 in terms of understanding,
00:21:19.420 you know, the history of race relations
00:21:21.680 in this country.
00:21:22.740 This was big.
00:21:24.260 And I had a blind spot to it.
00:21:26.480 I was completely unaware.
00:21:27.500 And so I say,
00:21:29.160 Joe Biden and your administration,
00:21:30.660 you did a good job on this,
00:21:31.940 educating the country.
00:21:33.440 I don't know that they were leading it,
00:21:35.160 but they at least participated in it.
00:21:37.360 But here's my concern about it.
00:21:42.500 One of the things Biden said
00:21:43.960 during his speech there in Tulsa
00:21:45.700 was that terrorism from white supremacy
00:21:48.140 is the most lethal threat
00:21:49.580 to the homeland today.
00:21:51.960 Now, it looks like it might have been
00:21:54.300 the most lethal threat
00:21:55.700 to the homeland back
00:21:57.980 when the Tulsa massacre happened.
00:22:00.060 That would have been
00:22:00.720 a pretty strong argument, I think.
00:22:02.720 But today,
00:22:04.360 who would want Joe Biden to say this?
00:22:07.860 Who in the world would be the happiest
00:22:10.020 to hear Joe Biden say
00:22:11.800 terrorism from white supremacy
00:22:14.100 is the most lethal threat
00:22:15.700 to the homeland today?
00:22:17.860 Who would be the happiest people
00:22:19.720 in the world
00:22:20.380 to hear Joe Biden say that?
00:22:24.220 China.
00:22:25.700 Right?
00:22:27.020 Now,
00:22:27.980 of course,
00:22:29.960 there are concerns,
00:22:31.820 no proof,
00:22:33.260 but certainly concerns,
00:22:34.760 that Joe Biden might be
00:22:36.220 beholden to China
00:22:37.360 because some people speculate
00:22:39.660 that China has some secrets
00:22:41.460 about Hunter Biden.
00:22:43.140 Now,
00:22:43.800 I don't have any evidence
00:22:44.820 that that's the case,
00:22:46.380 but it's widely,
00:22:48.500 you know,
00:22:48.980 people have a concern about it
00:22:50.380 because it's not impossible.
00:22:51.620 And I would say
00:22:52.860 it's maybe 50% possible.
00:22:54.940 I mean,
00:22:55.100 it's pretty high likelihood.
00:22:57.640 It's not impossible
00:22:58.920 by any means.
00:23:00.680 And
00:23:01.000 is it a coincidence
00:23:03.780 that Joe Biden
00:23:05.320 says something
00:23:06.000 this ridiculous
00:23:06.940 because it's ridiculous?
00:23:10.260 Does anybody
00:23:11.000 disagree with that?
00:23:12.140 That the statement
00:23:12.860 that terrorism
00:23:13.780 from white supremacy
00:23:14.720 is the most lethal threat
00:23:16.640 to the homeland?
00:23:17.300 Does anybody
00:23:19.080 believe that's true?
00:23:20.920 That if you actually
00:23:21.620 made a list
00:23:22.340 of all the risks
00:23:23.900 and how many people
00:23:24.760 might die
00:23:25.380 from each risk,
00:23:27.080 that the risk
00:23:28.640 from
00:23:29.060 this would be
00:23:31.760 higher than the risk
00:23:32.500 of nuclear war
00:23:33.300 with China,
00:23:34.300 higher than the risk
00:23:35.240 of 50,000 to 70,000
00:23:37.120 people a year
00:23:38.500 that China is killing
00:23:39.740 with fentanyl,
00:23:40.420 higher than the risk
00:23:41.800 that,
00:23:43.160 you know,
00:23:43.700 they're doing
00:23:44.140 higher than the risk
00:23:46.260 that they're
00:23:46.800 maybe experimenting
00:23:48.240 with viruses
00:23:49.340 in an unsafe lab?
00:23:51.380 I mean,
00:23:52.060 I don't know
00:23:52.380 if any of that's true,
00:23:53.580 but they're
00:23:54.580 pretty big risks.
00:23:56.900 So,
00:23:57.600 to say something
00:23:58.800 so
00:23:59.220 blatantly
00:24:01.380 untrue
00:24:02.100 that is just
00:24:03.480 ridiculous,
00:24:04.920 who would have
00:24:06.000 caused Joe Biden
00:24:06.920 to say this?
00:24:08.280 Did Joe Biden
00:24:09.120 look at the world
00:24:10.120 he surveyed
00:24:11.160 all the risks
00:24:12.000 and then
00:24:12.880 just on his own
00:24:13.680 he said,
00:24:14.160 you know,
00:24:14.880 I've looked into
00:24:15.520 all the risks
00:24:16.140 in the world
00:24:16.700 and yup,
00:24:18.120 I'm feeling pretty
00:24:18.940 confident
00:24:19.580 that the biggest one
00:24:21.220 is the white supremacists.
00:24:23.400 Did that happen?
00:24:24.720 Because I don't think
00:24:25.720 it did.
00:24:26.800 I think that he's
00:24:27.740 being influenced
00:24:28.600 by
00:24:29.200 the Democrats
00:24:31.400 to say something
00:24:33.660 that may be good
00:24:34.700 for the next election
00:24:35.680 because he wants
00:24:36.580 the Republicans
00:24:37.180 to look like
00:24:37.820 the white supremacists,
00:24:38.780 right?
00:24:39.280 So is it
00:24:39.960 just politics?
00:24:42.820 Do you believe
00:24:43.600 that Biden
00:24:44.020 is such a
00:24:44.780 political animal
00:24:45.620 and of course
00:24:47.080 they're all
00:24:47.380 political animals
00:24:48.080 but is he
00:24:49.040 such a political
00:24:49.780 animal
00:24:50.200 that he would
00:24:51.640 say something
00:24:52.100 this blatantly
00:24:53.760 absurd
00:24:54.300 and just do it
00:24:56.780 for political reasons?
00:24:58.600 Because it doesn't
00:24:59.560 look like it.
00:25:00.840 It looks
00:25:01.740 exactly like
00:25:02.740 China made him
00:25:03.640 say it.
00:25:04.460 Like they had
00:25:05.280 their hand
00:25:05.940 right up his ass
00:25:07.220 all the way
00:25:08.140 up to his mouth
00:25:08.860 and they were
00:25:09.320 just going
00:25:09.720 say it's
00:25:11.000 not us
00:25:11.480 say it's
00:25:12.360 not China
00:25:12.820 don't mention
00:25:14.100 China
00:25:14.580 no problem
00:25:15.880 with China
00:25:16.400 it's white
00:25:17.700 supremacy
00:25:18.060 that's your
00:25:18.960 biggest problem
00:25:19.520 ignore China
00:25:20.680 I don't know
00:25:23.540 to me it looks
00:25:24.320 obvious that
00:25:25.280 this is foreign
00:25:26.080 influence
00:25:26.580 and if it's
00:25:28.940 not
00:25:29.340 which is a
00:25:30.200 possibility
00:25:30.640 of course
00:25:31.260 if it's not
00:25:32.260 foreign influence
00:25:33.100 you have this
00:25:34.620 problem of the
00:25:35.320 appearance of it
00:25:36.100 do you want a
00:25:37.660 president who
00:25:38.340 appears to be
00:25:39.320 favoring your
00:25:40.860 greatest rival
00:25:41.640 because he
00:25:42.640 appears to
00:25:43.240 this statement
00:25:44.560 appears to be
00:25:45.660 Chinese propaganda
00:25:47.080 doesn't mean it
00:25:48.440 is
00:25:48.760 but it sure
00:25:50.260 looks exactly
00:25:50.940 like it
00:25:51.500 and you got to
00:25:52.340 worry about that
00:25:53.040 Axios had a
00:25:57.860 story in which
00:25:58.420 there was one
00:25:59.020 little nugget in
00:25:59.840 there that said
00:26:00.400 two in five
00:26:01.200 white independents
00:26:02.560 say social
00:26:03.840 policies including
00:26:04.780 affirmative action
00:26:05.760 discriminate
00:26:06.900 unfairly against
00:26:08.060 white people
00:26:08.660 two in five
00:26:10.860 white people
00:26:11.600 say that
00:26:12.620 only two
00:26:14.380 what
00:26:16.840 are you
00:26:18.560 telling me
00:26:19.020 that if you
00:26:19.540 could gather
00:26:20.020 five white
00:26:21.020 people together
00:26:21.660 who identify
00:26:22.620 as independents
00:26:23.600 and you just
00:26:24.400 put them in
00:26:24.880 the room with
00:26:25.360 me and I
00:26:26.600 said you
00:26:27.560 know I've
00:26:28.100 been fired
00:26:28.680 well essentially
00:26:30.020 indirectly fired
00:26:31.500 twice explicitly
00:26:33.860 because I'm
00:26:34.660 white and male
00:26:35.520 you know that's
00:26:37.060 happened right
00:26:37.680 and you do
00:26:38.740 know that big
00:26:39.640 corporations
00:26:40.220 directly
00:26:42.760 discriminate
00:26:43.600 against white
00:26:44.260 people because
00:26:45.240 they need to
00:26:45.760 increase their
00:26:46.260 diversity
00:26:46.700 which is a
00:26:47.980 good goal
00:26:48.420 I don't have
00:26:49.280 any concern
00:26:50.740 about the
00:26:51.900 worthiness of
00:26:52.620 having more
00:26:53.040 diversity in
00:26:53.680 your company
00:26:54.100 I think that
00:26:54.720 just makes
00:26:55.240 sense in a
00:26:55.880 diverse country
00:26:56.500 but how do
00:26:58.560 you argue it's
00:26:59.160 not discriminating
00:27:00.160 against white
00:27:00.820 people you
00:27:01.760 can certainly
00:27:02.220 discriminate that
00:27:03.720 it's good for
00:27:04.240 the world you
00:27:04.800 can certainly
00:27:05.180 say well it
00:27:06.940 does discriminate
00:27:07.760 against white
00:27:08.420 people but in
00:27:09.560 the long run
00:27:10.180 it's better I
00:27:12.360 could agree with
00:27:12.980 that or I
00:27:13.500 could disagree
00:27:14.020 with it but
00:27:15.020 it's not
00:27:15.360 absurd
00:27:15.900 do you know
00:27:17.620 it's absurd
00:27:18.240 that white
00:27:20.280 independents
00:27:20.900 only two
00:27:21.720 and five
00:27:22.160 of them
00:27:22.440 think that
00:27:22.940 it's
00:27:23.200 discrimination
00:27:23.860 against white
00:27:24.640 people
00:27:24.900 it's exactly
00:27:26.760 discrimination
00:27:27.380 against white
00:27:28.060 people
00:27:28.380 it's not
00:27:29.600 slightly
00:27:30.800 discrimination
00:27:31.500 against white
00:27:32.240 people
00:27:32.480 it's not
00:27:33.280 reminding you
00:27:34.940 of discrimination
00:27:36.000 of white
00:27:36.660 people in an
00:27:37.700 analogy kind
00:27:38.700 of way
00:27:39.180 it's not
00:27:40.240 accidentally
00:27:41.500 discriminating
00:27:42.520 against white
00:27:43.220 people
00:27:43.540 it's direct
00:27:45.000 intentional
00:27:46.380 huge boot
00:27:49.360 on the throat
00:27:50.040 discrimination
00:27:51.600 against white
00:27:52.440 people for a
00:27:53.840 good purpose
00:27:54.420 I mean there's
00:27:55.920 a there's a
00:27:56.760 genuinely good
00:27:57.700 purpose to it
00:27:58.500 which is you
00:28:00.040 know some kind
00:28:00.720 of racial
00:28:01.680 balance some
00:28:02.560 kind of income
00:28:03.180 balance at least
00:28:05.200 trying to get it
00:28:06.220 is probably healthy
00:28:07.380 for society
00:28:08.020 even if you
00:28:08.540 don't get there
00:28:09.120 at least trying
00:28:10.220 to get there
00:28:10.840 you know making
00:28:11.340 an effort
00:28:11.900 it does make us
00:28:13.700 maybe a little
00:28:14.560 bit better to
00:28:15.120 live together
00:28:15.620 so I'm not
00:28:16.780 going to say
00:28:17.100 there's no
00:28:17.460 benefit to it
00:28:18.300 it just isn't
00:28:19.680 a benefit to
00:28:20.240 the white
00:28:20.520 people who
00:28:21.020 lost their
00:28:21.420 jobs
00:28:21.780 can't we say
00:28:23.620 that
00:28:23.920 can't we say
00:28:24.980 it's very bad
00:28:25.640 for the white
00:28:26.120 person who
00:28:26.580 lost their
00:28:27.060 job
00:28:27.520 but if you're
00:28:28.980 making an
00:28:29.420 argument it's
00:28:29.920 better for
00:28:30.280 society
00:28:30.760 I'll listen
00:28:31.240 to the
00:28:31.480 argument
00:28:31.760 you know
00:28:32.860 I may disagree
00:28:33.640 with it
00:28:34.060 but I'll
00:28:34.440 certainly listen
00:28:35.060 to that
00:28:35.400 argument
00:28:35.680 it's not
00:28:36.100 absurd
00:28:36.540 so
00:28:38.280 there's that
00:28:40.660 all right
00:28:41.480 big story
00:28:41.940 today is
00:28:42.480 the Fauci
00:28:43.100 emails
00:28:43.660 I guess
00:28:44.080 there was
00:28:44.320 some freedom
00:28:44.840 of information
00:28:45.940 action
00:28:47.320 that got us
00:28:48.560 a bunch of
00:28:48.920 these emails
00:28:49.420 and now
00:28:50.620 we're digging
00:28:51.020 in to find
00:28:51.660 out just
00:28:52.460 how bad
00:28:53.100 it really
00:28:53.500 was behind
00:28:54.300 the curtain
00:28:54.820 how bad
00:28:56.000 was it
00:28:56.560 now that we
00:28:57.260 know what
00:28:57.620 Fauci actually
00:28:58.520 was thinking
00:28:59.200 and when he
00:29:00.200 was thinking
00:29:00.680 what he was
00:29:01.180 thinking
00:29:01.500 from these
00:29:02.500 emails
00:29:02.860 my god
00:29:04.220 we found
00:29:04.660 some things
00:29:05.280 and let me
00:29:06.080 tell you
00:29:06.420 the horrors
00:29:07.680 we have
00:29:08.040 found
00:29:08.400 as described
00:29:10.280 by CNN
00:29:11.720 so CNN
00:29:13.460 dug into
00:29:14.240 these
00:29:14.580 and wow
00:29:16.480 you think
00:29:18.740 there's some
00:29:19.180 bombshells
00:29:19.840 in there
00:29:20.200 oh yeah
00:29:22.240 here's a couple
00:29:23.380 of the bombshells
00:29:24.160 that CNN
00:29:24.580 found
00:29:25.040 and this
00:29:26.700 is just
00:29:27.000 jaw-dropping
00:29:27.560 listen to their
00:29:28.400 reporting
00:29:28.760 I'm summarizing
00:29:29.780 it so
00:29:30.180 paraphrasing
00:29:30.720 it but
00:29:30.980 CNN says
00:29:32.040 that Dr.
00:29:32.980 Fauci
00:29:33.300 worked so
00:29:34.320 hard
00:29:34.800 during the
00:29:35.400 pandemic
00:29:35.820 that often
00:29:36.880 he was
00:29:37.280 exhausted
00:29:37.960 yet despite
00:29:40.380 being exhausted
00:29:41.320 he was
00:29:42.520 always polite
00:29:43.640 in answering
00:29:44.780 his emails
00:29:45.380 yeah
00:29:47.380 that's what
00:29:48.360 we learned
00:29:48.800 and
00:29:49.700 what else
00:29:51.020 did we learn
00:29:51.500 from CNN
00:29:51.980 about the
00:29:52.500 emails
00:29:52.880 well that's it
00:29:54.460 actually
00:29:54.880 so that pretty
00:29:56.060 much covered it
00:29:56.800 so the two
00:29:57.540 things you need
00:29:58.020 to know
00:29:58.260 about the
00:29:58.540 emails
00:29:58.820 according to
00:29:59.260 CNN
00:29:59.520 is that
00:30:00.420 Fauci
00:30:00.700 worked
00:30:01.020 very hard
00:30:01.700 and yeah
00:30:03.120 he was always
00:30:03.600 polite
00:30:04.000 he was always
00:30:05.320 polite
00:30:05.660 there is also
00:30:08.000 information
00:30:08.560 update
00:30:09.380 that he is
00:30:10.520 kind to pets
00:30:11.440 he's very
00:30:12.520 kind to pets
00:30:13.240 and he
00:30:15.020 doesn't eat
00:30:15.720 a lot of
00:30:16.260 sugar
00:30:16.640 he's
00:30:19.400 punctual
00:30:19.880 and
00:30:21.780 he doesn't
00:30:22.920 talk behind
00:30:23.360 people's
00:30:23.760 back
00:30:24.060 and I
00:30:25.720 believe that
00:30:26.180 he never
00:30:26.680 forgets an
00:30:27.260 anniversary
00:30:27.680 so these
00:30:30.080 are some
00:30:30.360 of the
00:30:30.520 important
00:30:30.820 things
00:30:31.100 we're
00:30:31.280 learning
00:30:31.620 about
00:30:32.260 Dr.
00:30:32.840 Fauci
00:30:33.100 from CNN
00:30:33.640 and I
00:30:34.540 think this
00:30:34.880 is totally
00:30:35.340 unbiased
00:30:36.140 so you
00:30:36.860 can believe
00:30:37.200 it
00:30:37.460 let's see
00:30:38.060 if anybody
00:30:38.420 had a
00:30:39.180 competing
00:30:40.520 opinion
00:30:41.080 anybody
00:30:41.820 let's see
00:30:42.900 well on the
00:30:43.860 internet
00:30:44.140 there's
00:30:45.700 Mike
00:30:46.180 Cernovich
00:30:46.540 who
00:30:47.960 as you
00:30:48.840 know
00:30:49.080 is the
00:30:49.900 internet's
00:30:50.920 dad
00:30:51.240 he's
00:30:53.460 changed
00:30:53.800 his
00:30:54.140 Twitter
00:30:55.060 profile
00:30:55.700 what does it
00:30:56.380 say
00:30:56.540 internet dad
00:30:57.400 or dad
00:30:58.340 of the
00:30:58.560 internet
00:30:58.820 which is
00:30:59.440 hilarious
00:30:59.780 and true
00:31:00.580 and Mike
00:31:02.340 Cernovich
00:31:02.760 says this
00:31:04.240 he says
00:31:08.460 compare the
00:31:08.920 Washington Post
00:31:09.520 dishonest spin
00:31:10.600 of the
00:31:11.040 Fauci emails
00:31:11.640 to what the
00:31:12.540 emails show
00:31:13.420 and Mike
00:31:14.920 says Fauci
00:31:15.620 knew about
00:31:16.080 the lab leak
00:31:16.640 possibility
00:31:17.180 he covered
00:31:17.660 it up
00:31:17.980 from day
00:31:18.360 one
00:31:18.680 no
00:31:19.940 I'm sorry
00:31:20.760 I think
00:31:22.080 I'm reading
00:31:22.440 my own
00:31:22.880 quote there
00:31:23.960 but anyway
00:31:24.880 the point
00:31:25.240 is that
00:31:25.780 something
00:31:27.720 didn't print
00:31:28.320 out here
00:31:28.700 but the
00:31:29.300 point is
00:31:29.800 that the
00:31:31.120 opinions on
00:31:31.800 these emails
00:31:32.320 range from
00:31:33.280 there's nothing
00:31:34.380 there all
00:31:35.660 the way to
00:31:36.240 we got the
00:31:37.380 smoking gun
00:31:38.080 we found out
00:31:39.220 that Fauci's
00:31:39.820 been lying
00:31:40.320 to us the
00:31:40.880 whole time
00:31:41.440 so I
00:31:42.340 looked at
00:31:42.900 the coverage
00:31:43.940 to try to
00:31:44.500 find the
00:31:45.060 lies
00:31:45.580 and didn't
00:31:46.820 really find
00:31:47.240 any
00:31:47.500 I didn't
00:31:49.860 find any
00:31:50.340 so I
00:31:52.780 guess you
00:31:53.480 think there
00:31:53.920 is something
00:31:54.280 in there
00:31:54.680 that's a
00:31:55.000 bombshell
00:31:55.420 but why
00:31:56.600 didn't I
00:31:56.900 see any
00:31:57.280 I don't
00:31:58.920 know
00:31:59.140 so for
00:32:00.460 example
00:32:00.780 some of
00:32:01.160 the things
00:32:01.360 he said
00:32:01.740 was early
00:32:02.580 on he
00:32:02.940 said that
00:32:03.260 he didn't
00:32:03.620 think masks
00:32:04.400 that you
00:32:04.740 bought at
00:32:05.080 the drugstore
00:32:05.700 would help
00:32:06.860 you from
00:32:07.360 receiving the
00:32:08.220 virus but it
00:32:08.960 might help
00:32:09.340 you if you
00:32:09.720 had the
00:32:10.060 virus
00:32:10.400 you know
00:32:11.320 it might
00:32:11.560 keep some
00:32:12.000 of the
00:32:12.360 spittle
00:32:12.840 closer to
00:32:14.280 your face
00:32:14.700 now my
00:32:16.900 memory is
00:32:17.420 that's exactly
00:32:18.040 what they
00:32:18.380 said in
00:32:18.720 public
00:32:19.040 do you
00:32:20.820 remember it
00:32:21.280 differently
00:32:21.560 my memory
00:32:22.940 is that he
00:32:23.360 said exactly
00:32:24.300 that in
00:32:25.260 public
00:32:25.660 so I
00:32:27.320 don't know
00:32:27.580 that that
00:32:27.840 told me
00:32:28.300 anything
00:32:28.600 how about
00:32:29.760 the
00:32:30.180 allegation
00:32:31.220 that he
00:32:31.740 always knew
00:32:32.340 it was a
00:32:32.860 possibility
00:32:33.440 that the
00:32:34.860 Wuhan lab
00:32:35.600 was the
00:32:35.940 source of
00:32:36.400 the leak
00:32:36.760 because the
00:32:38.100 emails suggest
00:32:38.920 that he
00:32:39.380 knew it
00:32:39.700 was at
00:32:39.940 least a
00:32:40.240 possibility
00:32:40.780 didn't he
00:32:42.640 always say
00:32:43.140 that I
00:32:44.420 mean I
00:32:44.660 don't think
00:32:45.000 he ever
00:32:45.400 ruled it
00:32:46.020 out
00:32:46.280 did he
00:32:46.620 and is
00:32:47.980 there anybody
00:32:48.400 who doesn't
00:32:48.900 think it's
00:32:49.800 at least a
00:32:50.200 possibility
00:32:50.720 I don't
00:32:52.200 know the
00:32:52.860 differences
00:32:53.280 between what
00:32:54.000 the emails
00:32:54.520 say and
00:32:56.560 what he
00:32:57.400 said in
00:32:57.860 public
00:32:58.240 maybe you
00:33:00.260 can find a
00:33:00.720 little difference
00:33:01.400 but nothing
00:33:01.960 I can see
00:33:02.400 that makes
00:33:02.720 any difference
00:33:03.320 so anyway
00:33:05.400 if there's
00:33:05.740 more of a
00:33:06.160 story there
00:33:06.560 that I'm
00:33:06.920 missing
00:33:07.160 somebody fill
00:33:07.760 me in
00:33:08.120 but it
00:33:08.820 looked to
00:33:09.100 me like
00:33:09.400 a non
00:33:09.740 story
00:33:10.040 Taiwan is
00:33:11.840 having a
00:33:12.380 big spike
00:33:13.280 in coronavirus
00:33:13.980 despite being
00:33:15.120 one of
00:33:16.100 the
00:33:16.440 success
00:33:21.140 stories
00:33:21.640 now we
00:33:22.760 all thought
00:33:23.160 that maybe
00:33:23.580 Taiwan was
00:33:24.180 a success
00:33:24.840 story
00:33:25.360 because they
00:33:26.380 were an
00:33:26.640 island
00:33:26.980 at least I
00:33:27.760 thought that
00:33:28.260 because it's
00:33:29.100 easier to
00:33:29.600 close off
00:33:30.340 travel if
00:33:31.580 you're an
00:33:31.800 island
00:33:32.060 because not
00:33:32.780 many people
00:33:33.200 are swimming
00:33:33.740 there
00:33:34.260 and boating
00:33:36.520 there I
00:33:36.900 suppose
00:33:37.180 travel is
00:33:38.800 mostly by
00:33:39.280 airplane
00:33:39.540 but I guess
00:33:39.940 one of the
00:33:40.240 things that
00:33:40.540 Taiwan got
00:33:41.080 right is
00:33:41.600 they closed
00:33:42.160 travel from
00:33:43.120 China and
00:33:44.400 I didn't
00:33:44.720 even know
00:33:45.000 they had
00:33:45.320 travel with
00:33:46.100 China so
00:33:46.580 that's what
00:33:47.200 I knew
00:33:47.500 maybe early
00:33:50.060 and maybe
00:33:50.440 that made
00:33:50.780 a difference
00:33:51.160 but they've
00:33:51.540 got a spike
00:33:52.040 now so
00:33:53.600 remember what
00:33:54.320 I told you
00:33:54.820 early in
00:33:55.320 the pandemic
00:33:55.800 so I'm
00:34:02.520 reading a
00:34:02.940 comment from
00:34:03.860 Sashiko he
00:34:05.060 absolutely did
00:34:06.100 rule it out
00:34:06.880 show me that
00:34:08.220 quote show
00:34:09.700 me that quote
00:34:10.240 because I
00:34:10.980 think we're
00:34:11.460 dealing from
00:34:12.540 memory and
00:34:15.420 I'll bet if
00:34:16.540 you looked at
00:34:17.040 whatever Fauci
00:34:17.780 said about
00:34:18.280 the lab
00:34:18.760 leak he
00:34:19.800 probably said
00:34:20.440 something like
00:34:21.020 this there's
00:34:22.200 no evidence
00:34:23.020 it happened
00:34:23.660 check me on
00:34:25.400 that do a
00:34:26.180 fact check if
00:34:27.300 what he said
00:34:27.860 is there's no
00:34:28.560 evidence of
00:34:29.260 it that's
00:34:30.420 completely
00:34:30.800 compatible with
00:34:31.680 saying well
00:34:32.200 anything's
00:34:32.580 possible there's
00:34:35.160 there's no
00:34:35.760 difference so
00:34:37.480 find me exactly
00:34:38.760 what he said
00:34:39.520 that you believe
00:34:40.460 contradicts the
00:34:41.820 email and
00:34:42.400 then tweet it
00:34:43.060 at me okay
00:34:43.640 because I'm
00:34:44.620 not saying that
00:34:45.220 there's nothing
00:34:45.660 in there I'm
00:34:47.000 saying I
00:34:47.480 looked I
00:34:48.620 spent some
00:34:49.060 time I
00:34:50.060 looked for all
00:34:50.680 the bombshells I
00:34:51.500 just didn't see
00:34:52.100 any but but if
00:34:54.780 you saw some let
00:34:56.100 me know I
00:34:56.980 don't think it's
00:34:57.580 weasel words to
00:34:58.440 say we have no
00:34:59.080 evidence for
00:34:59.680 something I
00:35:01.120 don't feel that
00:35:01.880 that's weasel
00:35:02.360 words but
00:35:04.980 anyway I think
00:35:06.860 some of you think
00:35:07.560 I'm misinformed and
00:35:08.640 I want you to
00:35:09.300 clear that up
00:35:10.360 for me and
00:35:11.460 I'm not wed to
00:35:12.440 my opinion on
00:35:13.280 this so I'm
00:35:14.580 happy to change
00:35:15.500 my opinion as
00:35:16.200 soon as you
00:35:16.460 give me some
00:35:16.940 data to do
00:35:18.140 that all right
00:35:19.460 so do you
00:35:20.400 remember I
00:35:20.840 told you early
00:35:21.420 on in the
00:35:22.040 pandemic when
00:35:22.900 Trump was
00:35:23.520 getting lots
00:35:24.140 of lots of
00:35:25.360 heat for not
00:35:26.680 doing things the
00:35:27.540 way people thought
00:35:28.320 he should do
00:35:28.800 them and I
00:35:29.720 said to you
00:35:30.260 you need to
00:35:31.000 wait till the
00:35:31.500 end because if
00:35:33.000 you're judging
00:35:33.540 who won the
00:35:34.300 game in the
00:35:34.960 second inning
00:35:35.680 you're probably
00:35:37.400 not that accurate
00:35:38.640 and that we
00:35:40.900 might make some
00:35:41.560 mistakes in the
00:35:42.360 United States
00:35:42.980 early but we
00:35:45.080 might be kind
00:35:46.220 of spectacular by
00:35:47.380 the time we get
00:35:48.040 rolling what
00:35:49.980 happened the
00:35:51.360 United States
00:35:52.100 maybe made some
00:35:52.920 mistakes in the
00:35:53.860 beginning I don't
00:35:54.460 know you know
00:35:55.560 we could debate
00:35:56.140 that all day long
00:35:56.940 but we certainly
00:35:58.780 had more deaths
00:35:59.860 than other
00:36:00.980 countries so if
00:36:02.180 you just base it
00:36:03.220 on the deaths
00:36:03.760 and infection we
00:36:04.700 did poorly in
00:36:06.300 the beginning
00:36:06.740 what we did
00:36:09.180 with vaccinations
00:36:09.980 we the United
00:36:11.160 States collectively
00:36:12.360 from the the
00:36:13.640 companies that
00:36:14.180 made them to
00:36:14.820 the government
00:36:15.300 that fast
00:36:16.520 tracked them
00:36:17.080 thank you
00:36:17.680 Trump
00:36:18.100 administration
00:36:18.660 to the
00:36:20.540 implementation of
00:36:21.600 them which is
00:36:22.100 frankly just
00:36:24.100 amazing the the
00:36:26.580 fact that we
00:36:27.020 rolled them out
00:36:27.620 and produced them
00:36:28.360 and got them in
00:36:29.040 arms so quickly
00:36:30.400 is just amazing
00:36:31.200 and I I said
00:36:32.780 in the beginning
00:36:33.240 that if you judge
00:36:34.200 the United States
00:36:35.200 pandemic response
00:36:37.380 by by the early
00:36:38.720 days it's just
00:36:40.220 not fair you're
00:36:41.820 gonna have to
00:36:42.160 look at the
00:36:42.480 whole game and
00:36:44.120 I said in the
00:36:45.080 beginning that
00:36:46.000 when you're all
00:36:46.740 done and you
00:36:47.620 looked at the
00:36:48.180 whole game the
00:36:49.480 United States
00:36:50.100 would look good
00:36:50.740 you know not
00:36:51.840 maybe the best in
00:36:52.920 the world or
00:36:53.380 something but
00:36:54.280 among nations I
00:36:56.140 think we're gonna
00:36:56.580 be one of the
00:36:57.180 top five maybe
00:37:00.220 I think the
00:37:01.540 United States
00:37:02.020 will end in
00:37:02.520 the top five
00:37:03.380 of countries
00:37:05.240 that handled it
00:37:05.980 right in the
00:37:07.100 end now that
00:37:08.680 doesn't mean we
00:37:09.260 didn't bungle a
00:37:10.020 bunch of stuff
00:37:10.560 in the fog of
00:37:11.320 war that's just
00:37:12.480 you know presume
00:37:14.020 is presumed to
00:37:15.000 happen and it
00:37:16.220 doesn't mean that
00:37:16.840 the people who
00:37:17.300 got it right early
00:37:18.800 on in the
00:37:19.300 pandemic if they
00:37:20.040 did it doesn't
00:37:21.500 mean that they
00:37:22.080 were the geniuses
00:37:23.220 because everybody
00:37:24.060 was kind of
00:37:24.600 guessing and you
00:37:26.120 know somebody was
00:37:26.880 gonna guess right
00:37:27.680 you knew somebody
00:37:29.060 was gonna guess
00:37:29.680 wrong and it
00:37:30.900 didn't mean that
00:37:31.460 one of them was
00:37:32.040 incompetent it was
00:37:33.920 just guessing in
00:37:34.740 the beginning and
00:37:36.160 I mean educated
00:37:36.840 guesses but they
00:37:37.540 were guesses and
00:37:39.160 but over the
00:37:42.080 course of a year
00:37:42.980 and a half or
00:37:43.540 whatever it's gonna
00:37:44.180 be you could
00:37:45.440 understand the
00:37:46.140 true capability of
00:37:47.720 these different
00:37:48.180 countries you know
00:37:49.500 at the end of
00:37:50.020 18 months leadership
00:37:52.500 is going to matter
00:37:53.480 right execution is
00:37:55.940 going to matter
00:37:56.640 maybe not in the
00:37:57.940 first few months
00:37:58.720 because you're just
00:37:59.400 guessing and poorly
00:38:00.920 executing and trying
00:38:02.040 things and seeing
00:38:02.840 what works but by
00:38:04.080 the time you get to
00:38:04.660 the end you've
00:38:06.140 rapidly tested and
00:38:07.400 ruled things in and
00:38:08.400 out and you know
00:38:10.740 your your end point
00:38:11.800 should be where you
00:38:12.640 judge and I feel
00:38:13.960 that the United
00:38:14.480 States has this one
00:38:17.120 superpower that I
00:38:20.480 don't know anybody
00:38:21.080 will ever be able to
00:38:22.060 match which is we're
00:38:24.080 just maniacs and
00:38:26.580 this country we're
00:38:27.720 freaking maniacs when
00:38:29.520 a problem comes our
00:38:30.700 way like we will
00:38:32.360 jump on a problem
00:38:33.460 like like starving
00:38:35.440 man on a ham
00:38:36.220 sandwich right like
00:38:38.160 we love attacking
00:38:40.880 problems in this
00:38:41.840 country we're a whole
00:38:42.800 country of problem
00:38:43.740 solvers like that I
00:38:47.020 think I think this is
00:38:47.900 vaguely racist but I'm
00:38:49.160 going to say it
00:38:49.540 anyway I do think
00:38:51.420 that the way this
00:38:52.620 country was created
00:38:54.760 and continues to be
00:38:56.240 creating itself is
00:38:58.660 that we have this
00:38:59.280 weird filter and the
00:39:01.560 filter is do you have
00:39:03.280 the balls to get on a
00:39:05.280 fucking ship and sail
00:39:07.520 all the way across the
00:39:08.520 ocean just to be an
00:39:10.520 American do you have
00:39:11.900 the balls to do that
00:39:12.980 are you bold enough do
00:39:15.340 you have what it takes
00:39:16.200 can you take a take a
00:39:17.940 risk for a better world
00:39:19.160 well we get all those
00:39:20.800 people and I know this
00:39:23.340 is unpopular to say with
00:39:24.580 this particular crowd but
00:39:26.420 the one hidden benefit I
00:39:29.620 would say of illegal
00:39:31.160 immigration not all of it
00:39:33.220 not all of it of course
00:39:34.520 you know you got your
00:39:35.500 criminal elements coming
00:39:36.480 in but I've always said
00:39:38.060 if all we do is attract
00:39:39.760 the people who have the
00:39:40.700 highest tolerance for
00:39:43.300 economic risk meaning that
00:39:46.440 they will walk across a
00:39:47.800 desert to get a job I
00:39:50.840 want all of them I
00:39:52.840 want all of them now of
00:39:54.940 course you can't just let
00:39:55.880 everybody in right you
00:39:56.940 have to have controls on
00:39:58.920 the on the border but if
00:40:00.920 we could only get the
00:40:03.100 people who have such
00:40:04.360 gigantic balls that they
00:40:07.000 will they will go across
00:40:09.020 the ocean they'll walk
00:40:10.380 across the desert they
00:40:12.100 will kill to be Americans
00:40:13.580 you're gonna get some good
00:40:15.920 Americans out of that
00:40:16.860 bunch you're still gonna
00:40:17.900 get a bunch of people who
00:40:19.460 are neutral and you're
00:40:20.400 gonna get a bunch of
00:40:21.020 people who are criminals
00:40:21.940 any big group but man
00:40:24.040 that is such a good
00:40:24.860 filter does anybody else
00:40:27.420 have that is there any
00:40:28.860 other country that has as
00:40:31.020 their filter give us your
00:40:32.800 best people now when I say
00:40:34.780 best I don't mean most
00:40:36.460 educated right I don't
00:40:39.420 even mean anything else
00:40:43.180 just that attitude bring
00:40:46.800 me boatloads of people
00:40:48.240 with that attitude that's
00:40:50.560 the country I want to
00:40:51.300 live in just we're just
00:40:53.080 filling it with people
00:40:54.040 who are that kind of
00:40:55.680 person no other country
00:40:57.460 has that and I think
00:40:58.680 that that gives us an
00:40:59.740 advantage a system
00:41:00.860 advantage that is
00:41:02.500 enduring it seems to be
00:41:04.280 so anyway Taiwan's got
00:41:08.760 some issues with the
00:41:09.700 coronavirus here's a
00:41:13.080 story where I can't even
00:41:14.460 imagine how this mystery
00:41:15.720 could be solved but
00:41:16.760 apparently the Iranian
00:41:18.240 Navy's largest warship
00:41:20.180 now it's a warship but
00:41:22.000 mostly it's used for
00:41:22.960 supplying the other
00:41:24.060 smaller ships I guess but
00:41:26.040 their largest warship
00:41:27.820 caught on fire and sank
00:41:29.200 Wednesday in the Gulf of
00:41:30.920 Oman and it's called
00:41:32.540 unclear circumstances and
00:41:34.960 it's sort of a mystery
00:41:35.760 let's see if we could solve
00:41:39.300 the mystery huh is there
00:41:42.520 anything happening in the
00:41:43.700 Middle East which would
00:41:45.780 suggest a hypothesis that
00:41:49.460 maybe we could dig into a
00:41:51.080 little bit and clear up some
00:41:53.580 of this unclear circumstances
00:41:55.280 well for one thing we have
00:42:00.860 Joe Biden's administration
00:42:02.300 getting friendly with Iran
00:42:03.820 at the same time Netanyahu is
00:42:06.660 saying this won't stop us from
00:42:10.840 attacking Iran because you're
00:42:13.480 basically just making it more
00:42:14.660 dangerous for Israel and you're
00:42:17.720 making it more likely we're going
00:42:19.020 to attack so given that that's
00:42:22.680 sort of an obvious point that
00:42:24.840 Israel will go it alone and
00:42:26.680 clearly attack Iranian assets
00:42:29.880 it's war basically so the fact
00:42:32.440 that the United States is not
00:42:34.020 going to back Israel and go
00:42:37.280 hard at Iran negotiating wise
00:42:39.220 and sanction wise that frees
00:42:42.700 Israel right as long as the
00:42:45.200 United States is being
00:42:46.120 productive
00:42:46.720 um oh Ryan had zero side
00:42:51.360 effects from the second shot
00:42:52.840 um as long as the United States
00:42:55.600 is being a productive player or
00:42:57.380 trying to be or you know setting
00:42:59.320 itself up as one and the whole
00:43:01.260 Israel Iran situation as long as
00:43:04.260 we're in there Israel has to
00:43:07.100 restrain itself right so is that a
00:43:10.840 better world or a worse world
00:43:12.500 suppose Trump made it harder for
00:43:17.600 Israel to attack I don't know if
00:43:19.580 that was the case maybe the
00:43:21.000 evidence suggests not but I wonder
00:43:24.220 if Biden is playing this exactly
00:43:28.480 right while making it look exactly
00:43:31.440 wrong on the surface I would say
00:43:34.620 Biden's approach looks completely
00:43:36.400 wrong because it looks like he's
00:43:38.400 just emboldening Iran and I don't I
00:43:41.300 can't imagine anything good could
00:43:42.740 come out of that right but what if
00:43:46.100 the real play is to get the United
00:43:48.020 States off the hook make it look
00:43:50.460 like we're a little bit more pro
00:43:52.140 Palestinian and indirectly pro Hamas
00:43:55.420 then maybe we actually are and
00:43:59.560 Israel now being unconstrained because
00:44:02.920 the United States you know isn't on
00:44:04.960 its side in the same way can they
00:44:07.380 just attack now without any recourse
00:44:09.880 you know the Biden administration
00:44:11.940 would say hey don't do that again
00:44:13.640 you you scallywags why are you
00:44:17.700 attacking Iran you shouldn't do that
00:44:19.660 I feel as if this is intentional to
00:44:24.040 give Israel the green light to do
00:44:25.760 whatever the hell they want while
00:44:27.700 making it less likely that the United
00:44:29.400 States gets attacked on the homeland
00:44:30.820 and if Israel did attack I feel like we
00:44:35.940 might help a little bit under the
00:44:37.440 covers you know if only for
00:44:39.780 intelligence or whatever I'm being
00:44:45.660 asked didn't Israel ask the USA to
00:44:47.760 stay away I don't recall that I always
00:44:50.760 thought that the the US was welcome in
00:44:53.160 these negotiations but I could be wrong
00:44:55.260 about that so clear it up for me if I'm
00:44:58.260 wrong about that meanwhile more unclear
00:45:03.060 circumstances for example did you know
00:45:05.640 that Biden is going to be talking to
00:45:07.080 Putin pretty soon in what they're
00:45:09.240 calling a summit and you know here's a
00:45:12.840 here's a coincidence the Russian
00:45:15.840 cyber gangs are hacking into pipelines in
00:45:19.040 the United States in one case and now a
00:45:22.140 meat packing plant they'll have a big
00:45:24.900 impact on meat production and Putin is
00:45:28.640 saying hey that's that's criminal
00:45:30.220 elements that's not me I'm not behind
00:45:32.360 that so it's sort of an unclear
00:45:34.300 circumstance I believe some in the
00:45:36.800 United States are saying hey hey I
00:45:39.280 think you're doing this intentional to
00:45:41.020 harm the United States and Putin saying
00:45:43.420 not me not me it's an unclear
00:45:45.840 circumstance because we don't know how
00:45:48.060 this is happening sure certainly not me
00:45:50.220 well what do the professionals say so
00:45:54.060 the professionals say apparently the
00:45:57.140 Kremlin the Kremlin issued a warning
00:45:59.540 earlier this week that quote
00:46:01.940 uncomfortable signals would be sent to
00:46:04.740 the US ahead of the summit later this
00:46:06.780 month what the Kremlin specifically
00:46:12.740 warned that there would be some
00:46:15.140 uncomfortable things coming our way and
00:46:18.680 sure enough uncomfortable things came our
00:46:21.460 way that seem associated with Russia but
00:46:24.480 no they're not behind it these are just
00:46:26.700 criminal elements they have nothing they
00:46:28.860 can do about it and I guess Russia's
00:46:35.520 deputy foreign minister said this he
00:46:37.260 said quote the Americans must assume
00:46:39.100 that a number of signals from Moscow will
00:46:42.200 be uncomfortable for them including in
00:46:44.320 the coming days I mean they actually
00:46:46.260 think they they they they pointed to the
00:46:48.760 fence before they hit the ball over it and
00:46:52.840 apparently there's this Rebecca Koffler
00:46:58.620 she's a former defense intelligence
00:47:00.540 agents agency person intelligence person
00:47:04.540 who knows about Russia and she said that
00:47:07.160 Putin's playbook is that Russia's secret
00:47:09.640 plan to defeat America she told Fox News was
00:47:13.460 to use criminal gangs and it is a common
00:47:15.720 tactic wait what so our intelligence agency
00:47:20.840 already knows that Putin plans he plans to do it to
00:47:26.160 use criminal groups to give deniability for
00:47:29.460 Russia and then Russia says we're going to
00:47:31.660 send you some signals and they say when it's
00:47:34.100 going to happen and then hackers attack us or
00:47:37.480 attack things that affect us is this as obvious as it
00:47:42.620 looks because it feels a little bit you know too on the nose is
00:47:49.840 is there something wrong with this story because I don't think it could be more
00:47:55.000 clear that Russia is doing this and basically attacking us and we're going
00:48:01.160 to just act like they're not is that what Biden's administration is doing just
00:48:05.060 pretending it's not happening or are they doing something you know behind the
00:48:09.460 curtain that we don't know about it could be that we're hitting Russia hard and we the
00:48:14.240 public just don't know it maybe maybe Biden would think that's a better deal but as
00:48:19.560 Ian Bremmer pointed out the people who voted for Biden because they thought he
00:48:24.580 would go harder on Russia are now discovering that he is going softer on Russia so if that
00:48:31.900 was one of your reasons for supporting Biden you did not get what you thought you were voting
00:48:36.920 for Rasmussen is reporting that they asked in a poll have American relations got better or worse
00:48:46.720 under Biden 15 percent one five think that relations with America and Israel have gotten better under
00:48:56.020 Biden and 45 percent say worse 57 percent of liberals believe it's about the same to which I say
00:49:03.560 are they watching the news at all sparky s if the Russian hacking was false flag stuff could be
00:49:13.200 could be false flag but why would Russia tell us in advance that they were going to do something
00:49:18.500 I feel as though they're telling us it's us it's them they could they could at least say it wasn't
00:49:26.020 um so here's what I wonder how in the world do 15 percent people think that uh relations between
00:49:35.720 America and Israel got better during Biden a hundred percent of the news stories suggest that
00:49:43.720 relationships got worse all of them I don't believe there's one story in the news that says you know
00:49:49.520 what Biden's doing it's making Israel really love the United States not one I don't believe there's even
00:49:55.460 one and you have 15 percent say yeah it's getting better because Joe Biden thank God for Joe Biden
00:50:01.560 well
00:50:03.380 Laura Graham uh had on her show last night on Fox
00:50:08.600 an expert who says that there's a new study showing that hydroxychloroquine works
00:50:14.100 and that the reason we didn't know it worked
00:50:18.980 until now uh and this was I guess the study was on hospitalized people so people who were on
00:50:25.740 ventilators etc apparently if you give them a high enough dose it works like really well but if you
00:50:33.300 don't give them a high enough dose you can't tell the difference like every other medicine basically
00:50:39.160 um so the fact that this is only being reported on Laura and Graham's show and only on Fox News
00:50:47.380 and it seems to be this one doctor and it's about hydroxychloroquine
00:50:51.540 let me ask you is this in the category of stories
00:50:55.460 remember what I taught you
00:50:56.880 you can judge things by their category
00:50:59.140 is this in the category of stories that are likely to be true
00:51:03.800 meaning that hydroxychloroquine really did work really well all along and we just didn't know it
00:51:09.340 is that likely to be true
00:51:11.260 well
00:51:13.120 um it's in the category of things that are unlikely to be true
00:51:18.120 because when you see one entity make a claim like this
00:51:22.600 but the other entities are quiet
00:51:24.700 it's either the biggest conspiracy in the world
00:51:27.620 or the one entity who's talking about it
00:51:30.220 is going to turn out not to be correct
00:51:32.700 so
00:51:34.140 um
00:51:35.740 I'm not willing to say this is incorrect
00:51:38.460 I have no evidence to debunk it in any way
00:51:41.720 but
00:51:42.440 be aware
00:51:43.520 it's in the category of things that are almost never right
00:51:46.840 like almost never
00:51:48.660 just by its category
00:51:50.800 doesn't mean this one's wrong
00:51:52.720 and I'm not going to suggest it is
00:51:54.460 um
00:51:55.540 because I've said
00:51:56.300 I've said way too often and from the beginning
00:51:59.400 that there was this weird coincidence
00:52:01.800 that all of the hydroxychloroquine studies
00:52:04.860 apparently intentionally studied the wrong thing
00:52:08.300 you've heard me say this right
00:52:10.640 so I've said many times that I can't understand
00:52:13.160 why they seem to be intentionally studying the wrong thing
00:52:16.820 because we know how it should be used
00:52:19.700 or what their recommended protocol was
00:52:21.660 but that's not what they tested
00:52:23.180 they would test other things
00:52:25.040 or they test a group that's too small
00:52:27.280 or they test somebody who's already critically ill
00:52:29.780 and don't test enough of it
00:52:31.740 but basically none of the tests look like actual tests
00:52:34.780 so
00:52:36.120 could it be that this has worked all along?
00:52:40.440 yes
00:52:40.920 it's possible
00:52:42.480 but it's in the category of things that usually aren't true
00:52:45.180 just be aware of that
00:52:47.140 um
00:52:48.660 all right
00:52:51.700 uh
00:52:52.820 the
00:52:53.580 I guess I talked about this other stuff already
00:52:55.940 all right
00:52:57.340 if you're joining late
00:52:58.500 uh
00:52:59.020 I'll give you an update
00:52:59.820 I did get my second
00:53:01.260 um
00:53:02.020 Moderna
00:53:02.820 vaccination shot
00:53:04.300 yesterday
00:53:05.020 I did wake up this morning
00:53:07.360 wishing that this arm was
00:53:09.200 no longer with me
00:53:10.320 because it kind of hurts a little bit
00:53:12.220 um
00:53:13.500 I did feel
00:53:14.580 full body
00:53:15.680 body ache
00:53:16.500 I would say
00:53:18.240 uh
00:53:18.920 nothing
00:53:20.360 probably that will stop me from doing
00:53:22.480 everything I was going to do today
00:53:23.980 so immediately after getting the shot
00:53:26.660 I did
00:53:27.280 you know
00:53:27.560 full workout
00:53:28.200 arms and
00:53:29.100 arms and back and stuff
00:53:30.460 didn't bother me at all
00:53:31.620 um
00:53:32.660 somebody says
00:53:34.100 I got it too
00:53:34.780 and didn't sleep well
00:53:35.720 I was on the border
00:53:36.760 of not sleeping well
00:53:37.940 but it didn't stop me
00:53:38.960 it was nice knowing you
00:53:40.900 uh
00:53:43.820 oh somebody's going to skip their second
00:53:45.480 Moderna shot
00:53:46.300 I thought about it
00:53:48.000 I did think about it
00:53:49.540 maybe if I
00:53:50.320 if I were younger
00:53:51.300 I would skip the second one
00:53:52.660 maybe
00:53:53.040 I'm not suggesting you do it
00:53:54.980 you know
00:53:55.600 I feel like if the first one
00:53:56.820 didn't kill you
00:53:57.380 the second one probably won't
00:53:58.660 but I know that doesn't make sense
00:54:01.140 um
00:54:03.260 let's see
00:54:06.580 uh
00:54:08.180 I saw Brett Weinstein
00:54:09.760 question there
00:54:11.960 boop boop boop boop
00:54:13.860 all right
00:54:14.440 so Brett Weinstein
00:54:15.780 has a podcast
00:54:17.540 that I just began to listen to
00:54:19.040 in which he's talking about
00:54:20.140 ivermectin
00:54:20.880 and
00:54:21.980 the story is very similar
00:54:23.360 to the hydroxychloroquine story
00:54:24.920 which is that there are
00:54:26.100 some people
00:54:26.860 who say
00:54:28.080 the
00:54:28.460 the evidence
00:54:29.320 clearly says
00:54:30.180 ivermectin works
00:54:31.200 there are other people
00:54:32.460 who say
00:54:32.800 clearly it doesn't
00:54:34.060 but
00:54:35.280 when you see somebody
00:54:37.120 that's qualified
00:54:38.560 and
00:54:39.680 uh
00:54:40.640 Brett would be in that category
00:54:41.760 somebody who could
00:54:42.620 you know
00:54:43.060 look a little bit
00:54:43.680 deeper into the science
00:54:44.900 than you and I can
00:54:45.620 and he has somebody
00:54:47.000 on his show
00:54:47.520 who has just
00:54:48.320 impeccable credentials
00:54:49.660 and
00:54:50.920 and seems to have
00:54:52.240 a strong opinion
00:54:52.840 that it works
00:54:53.460 I think you have to
00:54:54.440 start paying attention
00:54:55.180 to that
00:54:55.600 you have to start
00:54:57.160 paying attention
00:54:57.740 now
00:54:58.420 is the ivermectin story
00:55:00.300 in the category
00:55:01.740 of stories
00:55:02.440 that usually
00:55:04.140 turn out to be
00:55:05.260 false
00:55:06.060 yes
00:55:07.740 yes it is
00:55:09.140 it's in the category
00:55:10.920 of things that
00:55:11.580 usually
00:55:12.220 are not true
00:55:13.380 and I mean usually
00:55:14.080 like 90 plus percent
00:55:15.940 but
00:55:17.040 how often do you have
00:55:19.140 somebody with these
00:55:20.960 credentials
00:55:21.440 stepping up
00:55:22.940 and putting their
00:55:24.180 reputations on the line
00:55:25.320 and the answer is
00:55:26.640 not that often
00:55:27.800 not that often
00:55:29.660 because
00:55:30.500 these are some
00:55:32.480 serious people
00:55:33.280 saying you need
00:55:34.100 to take this seriously
00:55:34.980 so I would say
00:55:36.260 when you add that
00:55:37.080 factor
00:55:37.500 of the people
00:55:38.260 involved
00:55:38.800 then it's not
00:55:40.120 in that category
00:55:40.980 anymore
00:55:41.380 that's what would
00:55:42.800 remove it
00:55:43.340 from the category
00:55:44.000 of things that
00:55:44.580 are wrong
00:55:44.940 90% of the time
00:55:45.940 I feel like
00:55:47.220 I'm going to
00:55:47.680 upgrade this one
00:55:48.300 to a 50-50
00:55:49.140 now again
00:55:50.500 you and I
00:55:51.040 don't know
00:55:51.560 and we're not
00:55:53.280 really qualified
00:55:53.900 to know
00:55:54.340 but I'd say
00:55:55.680 it went from
00:55:56.800 ivermectin
00:55:57.560 went in my mind
00:55:58.600 from 90% chance
00:56:00.220 there's nothing
00:56:01.120 there
00:56:01.520 to maybe
00:56:02.400 50% chance
00:56:03.460 there is
00:56:04.380 something there
00:56:04.840 and I couldn't
00:56:06.540 go further
00:56:06.980 than that
00:56:07.460 because it still
00:56:08.500 is adjacent
00:56:10.140 to that category
00:56:10.960 of things
00:56:11.400 that usually
00:56:12.040 is wrong
00:56:12.520 so I don't
00:56:13.160 want to get
00:56:13.420 excited about it
00:56:14.400 but
00:56:15.300 could be
00:56:16.420 could be
00:56:17.720 maybe good news
00:56:18.940 yeah
00:56:22.000 Brett Weinstein
00:56:23.120 is risking
00:56:23.820 cancellation
00:56:24.400 to tell the truth
00:56:25.480 he really is
00:56:26.560 and I was
00:56:27.100 listening to
00:56:27.600 the first part
00:56:28.120 of his podcast
00:56:28.800 where he was
00:56:29.200 trying to deal
00:56:29.780 with the
00:56:30.100 cancellation threat
00:56:31.040 and he did
00:56:32.420 it very well
00:56:32.980 by not claiming
00:56:35.560 something that
00:56:36.260 wasn't supported
00:56:37.160 and showing that
00:56:38.380 the qualifications
00:56:39.160 of his experts
00:56:40.360 and the
00:56:41.720 qualifications
00:56:42.140 of the
00:56:42.740 research
00:56:43.860 I assume
00:56:44.360 were strong
00:56:45.680 enough that
00:56:46.480 he should not
00:56:47.120 be cancelled
00:56:47.600 just talking
00:56:48.400 about it
00:56:48.880 we'll see
00:56:49.680 we'll see
00:56:50.920 I think there's
00:56:52.240 going to be
00:56:52.520 quite a reckoning
00:56:53.340 with the
00:56:54.200 platforms
00:56:55.080 and with the
00:56:56.300 news
00:56:56.920 after we know
00:56:58.840 what's true
00:56:59.300 and what isn't
00:57:00.160 and
00:57:00.600 here's my question
00:57:03.140 let me ask you this
00:57:04.540 let's say
00:57:05.380 hypothetically
00:57:06.100 someday
00:57:07.020 somebody finds out
00:57:07.980 that
00:57:08.780 hydroxychloroquine
00:57:10.500 absolutely
00:57:11.460 definitely
00:57:13.080 worked
00:57:15.000 what if that
00:57:15.840 happened
00:57:16.160 would you say
00:57:17.740 oh my god
00:57:18.680 Trump was right
00:57:20.400 and everybody
00:57:21.440 else was wrong
00:57:22.300 and therefore
00:57:23.620 you should give
00:57:24.360 credit to Trump
00:57:25.160 for being right
00:57:25.900 is that how you
00:57:27.160 would interpret it
00:57:27.980 or
00:57:29.080 or
00:57:30.260 would you say
00:57:31.960 there was something
00:57:33.160 unique about Trump
00:57:34.460 which made people
00:57:36.160 not even use a
00:57:37.240 medicine that would
00:57:37.900 save a million lives
00:57:39.000 because if that's
00:57:41.060 true
00:57:41.340 Trump is the
00:57:42.920 problem
00:57:43.340 right
00:57:44.240 that he was so
00:57:45.660 divisive
00:57:46.460 that even
00:57:47.860 something
00:57:48.500 that clearly
00:57:49.380 worked
00:57:49.880 people wouldn't
00:57:50.660 even take a
00:57:51.220 life-saving drug
00:57:52.160 or let other
00:57:53.580 people take it
00:57:54.220 because it would
00:57:55.020 allow Trump to
00:57:55.720 be right
00:57:56.200 so there are two
00:57:57.720 stories here
00:57:58.380 one in which
00:57:59.040 Trump is the
00:57:59.680 hero
00:57:59.980 because he was
00:58:00.860 right all along
00:58:01.640 now this makes
00:58:02.620 an assumption
00:58:03.080 that's not in
00:58:03.700 evidence yet
00:58:04.260 that hydroxychloroquine
00:58:05.720 actually works
00:58:06.540 so I'd say that's
00:58:07.420 not proven
00:58:07.940 there's just
00:58:09.500 some recent
00:58:10.380 evidence
00:58:10.840 suggesting it
00:58:11.720 might
00:58:11.920 so that's
00:58:14.200 my take
00:58:14.600 all right
00:58:15.820 so you
00:58:18.940 could make a
00:58:19.600 story that
00:58:20.000 Trump is either
00:58:20.560 the villain
00:58:20.980 or the hero
00:58:21.600 in that
00:58:21.900 story
00:58:22.260 and the
00:58:23.400 evidence would
00:58:23.940 support both
00:58:24.560 I think
00:58:25.040 let's see
00:58:29.060 imagine actually
00:58:32.880 believing that the
00:58:33.560 manufactured story
00:58:34.420 around Trump
00:58:35.000 is Trump's
00:58:35.680 fault
00:58:36.260 you're smarter
00:58:37.120 than that
00:58:37.580 Scott
00:58:37.960 well I
00:58:39.020 I always
00:58:39.920 block people
00:58:40.720 who say
00:58:41.080 you're smarter
00:58:41.580 than that
00:58:42.000 because that's
00:58:42.520 just a
00:58:43.040 dick thing
00:58:43.600 to say
00:58:44.000 so
00:58:45.160 I'll hide
00:58:46.060 you on this
00:58:46.500 channel
00:58:46.800 but
00:58:48.760 I don't
00:58:50.180 think you
00:58:50.600 can
00:58:50.980 I don't
00:58:52.020 think you
00:58:52.360 can hold
00:58:52.880 Trump harmless
00:58:53.940 from the fact
00:58:55.680 that he
00:58:56.140 intentionally
00:58:56.800 is provocative
00:58:57.560 because being
00:58:59.180 intentionally
00:58:59.800 provocative
00:59:00.440 is exactly
00:59:02.060 what allowed
00:59:02.880 him to win
00:59:03.440 right
00:59:04.220 it's how he
00:59:04.640 won the
00:59:04.900 first election
00:59:05.420 but if being
00:59:06.940 intentionally
00:59:07.480 provocative
00:59:08.020 has a cost
00:59:09.040 associated with
00:59:09.900 it
00:59:10.100 which is that
00:59:11.080 the predictable
00:59:11.820 outcome
00:59:12.400 is that people
00:59:13.280 won't believe
00:59:13.880 him when
00:59:14.260 he's right
00:59:15.040 right
00:59:16.800 people won't
00:59:18.140 believe him
00:59:18.640 when he's
00:59:19.060 right
00:59:19.520 a little
00:59:22.080 of that
00:59:22.340 is on
00:59:22.640 Trump
00:59:22.940 you know
00:59:25.420 because
00:59:26.140 we do know
00:59:27.820 that even
00:59:28.260 if you support
00:59:28.900 Trump
00:59:29.160 you do know
00:59:29.660 that he did
00:59:30.080 pass the
00:59:30.660 fact-checking
00:59:31.360 fairly frequently
00:59:32.840 now I've
00:59:33.980 often said
00:59:34.460 it didn't
00:59:34.820 matter either
00:59:35.420 because it's
00:59:35.920 just hyperbole
00:59:37.140 you know
00:59:38.160 most of the
00:59:38.920 fact-checking
00:59:39.440 is fake
00:59:39.860 anyway
00:59:40.220 and it was
00:59:41.340 just hyperbole
00:59:42.280 and he's
00:59:42.700 directionally
00:59:43.260 correct
00:59:43.600 and I still
00:59:44.040 think that's
00:59:44.460 all true
00:59:44.820 but maybe
00:59:45.940 I think we
00:59:47.060 should be
00:59:47.380 open to
00:59:47.820 the possibility
00:59:48.460 that if
00:59:50.040 you're using
00:59:51.000 these techniques
00:59:51.980 to become
00:59:52.680 president
00:59:53.140 don't be
00:59:54.900 surprised
00:59:55.500 if people
00:59:56.140 don't believe
00:59:56.660 you on a
00:59:57.100 medical question
00:59:57.820 don't be
00:59:58.780 surprised
00:59:59.300 that should
01:00:00.180 be the
01:00:00.680 fairly
01:00:01.520 predictable
01:00:02.040 outcome
01:00:02.460 of that
01:00:02.760 so I've
01:00:03.840 often said
01:00:04.240 that Trump
01:00:04.680 is what I
01:00:05.180 call an
01:00:05.660 expensive
01:00:06.200 president
01:00:06.840 or was
01:00:08.140 meaning that
01:00:09.640 he can get
01:00:10.620 you things
01:00:11.040 that you
01:00:11.300 couldn't get
01:00:11.700 from anybody
01:00:12.180 else
01:00:12.640 North Korea
01:00:14.200 being best
01:00:15.000 example
01:00:15.380 so he
01:00:16.300 could just
01:00:16.600 do stuff
01:00:17.220 that other
01:00:17.600 people couldn't
01:00:18.140 do
01:00:18.380 but
01:00:19.480 he's going
01:00:20.740 to be
01:00:20.980 expensive
01:00:21.460 and maybe
01:00:23.200 this is one
01:00:23.740 of the
01:00:23.940 expenses
01:00:24.380 you know
01:00:25.140 hypothetically
01:00:25.700 so that's
01:00:27.880 all I got
01:00:28.160 for now
01:00:28.520 I will
01:00:28.920 talk to
01:00:29.280 you
01:00:29.520 too
01:00:30.840 to go
01:00:31.100 I
01:00:31.340 give
01:00:31.940 them
01:00:32.280 go
01:00:32.460 to
01:00:33.260 partnerships
01:00:34.400 to
01:00:35.500 mail
01:00:36.140 like
01:00:36.340 they're
01:00:36.680 %uh
01:00:37.280 what
01:00:37.460 I
01:00:38.520 I
01:00:41.280 know
