Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1418 Scott Adams： Expect the Unexpected on Today's Amazing Livestream

00:00:00.000 Before we get going, can somebody tell me if you can hear my audio?

00:00:05.500 Anybody? Anybody?

00:00:06.980 I'm trying something new today, so if nobody hears me,

00:00:10.860 I'll need to unplug this and do something different.

00:00:15.080 Give me a sign of life in the comments.

00:00:20.960 All right. Well, we'll wait for that.

00:00:24.400 Literally, can anybody hear me?

00:00:28.300 Seriously?

00:00:28.820 Oh, okay. One person. Good enough. Good enough.

00:00:32.140 We're testing out a new device on here.

00:00:35.900 And if you'd like to enjoy this very special episode of Coffee with Scott Adams,

00:00:43.460 well, there's a way to do it.

00:00:45.700 And all it takes is a copper mug or glass, a tank or a chalice stein,

00:00:49.340 a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:53.140 And you should fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:55.940 I'm partial to coffee.

00:00:57.420 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:01:02.040 the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:05.500 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it's going to happen right now.

00:01:10.380 Go.

00:01:10.540 So let me tell you what I'm doing.

00:01:17.460 I'm methodically A-B testing my way to better sound.

00:01:21.840 At the moment, I'm still using a lavalier clip-on

00:01:26.860 because I like my range of motion.

00:01:30.200 I don't like being locked onto a stationary device.

00:01:35.780 But I'm using the Shure X2-0 to connect my lavalier to my iPad.

00:01:45.900 And apparently, this is giving it a little bit of a boost.

00:01:50.360 Maybe.

00:01:51.380 Maybe.

00:01:53.420 Oh, we have good news.

00:01:54.880 Not good news.

00:01:55.620 We have interesting news today.

00:01:57.240 So it won't all be about my sound system.

00:02:00.320 Actually, interesting things happening.

00:02:01.980 Number one, President Trump, ex-President Trump,

00:02:06.320 is warning that he says, quote,

00:02:09.820 watch next week because you'll see me do something about big tech

00:02:13.680 and people have wanted me to do it for a long time.

00:02:16.900 It won't be too surprising.

00:02:19.360 They don't love me to talk about it early,

00:02:21.640 but watch what I do next week on big tech.

00:02:24.240 I think you'll find it very interesting.

00:02:25.680 And once again, President Trump, ex-President Trump,

00:02:31.900 becomes the most interesting person in the news

00:02:34.520 as he does every time he opens his mouth.

00:02:38.260 So what do you think it will be?

00:02:39.880 Lawsuit?

00:02:41.220 It's got to be a lawsuit, right?

00:02:43.480 So it's either going to be a lawsuit

00:02:45.680 or starting his own platform

00:02:49.480 because he's saying he's doing something about it.

00:02:53.760 It's one of those two things.

00:02:54.940 But it feels like more likely a lawsuit, wouldn't you say?

00:02:59.700 If you had to guess, just based on the wording of it.

00:03:03.900 Because doing something about it,

00:03:08.000 I suppose that could be a new platform.

00:03:09.800 It could be either one, couldn't it?

00:03:11.620 I guess I can't predict this one.

00:03:14.380 But my first instinct was a lawsuit.

00:03:17.040 So we'll see.

00:03:19.040 In related news,

00:03:21.000 there's news coming out

00:03:22.960 that maybe the Trump organization

00:03:24.700 could be hit with charges

00:03:27.000 for tax evasion,

00:03:29.800 specifically for giving executives benefits

00:03:34.700 that are as good as cash

00:03:37.240 but were not accounted for for tax purposes.

00:03:40.340 Now,

00:03:43.340 does that make sense?

00:03:47.680 So I'm trying to figure this out.

00:03:49.900 If you're a company

00:03:51.680 and you decide to give your executive

00:03:53.460 a, let's say,

00:03:55.620 a free apartment,

00:03:57.100 the company would be paying for it

00:03:59.800 and then writing it off on their taxes,

00:04:02.560 but the person who received it

00:04:06.020 would not be counting it as taxable income

00:04:08.820 and therefore the government

00:04:11.440 would not be getting their due.

00:04:13.300 But here's the interesting thing.

00:04:15.960 What if this is the biggest problem

00:04:18.180 anybody found in the Trump organization?

00:04:22.260 Because it's the one we're hearing about

00:04:24.180 and we're not hearing a rumor about,

00:04:26.780 oh, and I think they're digging into

00:04:29.480 some foreign Russian something-something.

00:04:33.560 Right?

00:04:34.560 Now, I don't know if you follow tax law

00:04:38.340 very carefully.

00:04:40.020 I hope you don't.

00:04:41.700 But this is a really small legal problem,

00:04:46.320 meaning that the legal problem

00:04:48.120 would be limited to the corporation.

00:04:50.920 The Trump family members

00:04:52.440 and Trump himself

00:04:53.620 would not be under legal risk specifically.

00:04:58.020 Only the entity would be under legal risk.

00:05:00.740 And probably the sum

00:05:02.240 of all of these alleged infractions,

00:05:05.680 if there were a penalty on top of it,

00:05:08.120 which would be a typical outcome,

00:05:11.020 they could just pay it.

00:05:13.080 And this is one of the most,

00:05:15.260 I would imagine,

00:05:16.180 one of the most common corporate,

00:05:19.760 you know,

00:05:20.240 what would you call it, bad behavior?

00:05:23.440 And even the anti-Trumpers on CNN

00:05:26.020 are saying,

00:05:26.580 oh, nobody goes to jail for this.

00:05:28.940 And not only does nobody go to jail for it,

00:05:31.900 but typically charges aren't even brought.

00:05:35.020 Because I assume the IRS

00:05:36.300 can just demand a payment.

00:05:38.280 They don't have to take you to court.

00:05:40.240 If you didn't pay,

00:05:41.140 then it would be a different issue.

00:05:43.160 But I think the way these are normally handled

00:05:45.480 is they just give you a bill.

00:05:47.800 And it's a really big bill

00:05:48.960 and you have to pay it.

00:05:50.580 Right?

00:05:50.840 So what if,

00:05:52.980 after all of the warnings

00:05:55.140 about everything

00:05:55.840 that's going to come crashing down

00:05:58.160 on the Trump organization,

00:05:59.840 what if it all came down

00:06:01.200 to just this little thing

00:06:03.520 that won't affect the individuals?

00:06:06.160 It might be just write a check.

00:06:07.940 Now, of course,

00:06:08.480 part of this might be

00:06:09.300 that they're putting pressure

00:06:10.840 on Alan Wieselberg.

00:06:14.720 Am I pronouncing his name right?

00:06:16.320 I was writing it down quickly

00:06:18.260 and I feel like I made up

00:06:19.560 a whole new name for him.

00:06:22.620 Wieselberg?

00:06:25.320 Wait, did I just realize

00:06:27.540 that his name,

00:06:28.920 if you pronounced it incorrectly,

00:06:30.740 would be Wiesel?

00:06:32.880 Wieselberg?

00:06:33.320 How do you actually pronounce it?

00:06:36.460 Wieselberg?

00:06:37.820 But anyway,

00:06:38.580 if they're putting pressure

00:06:39.680 on the top financial guy

00:06:41.380 in the organization,

00:06:42.280 the reason would be

00:06:43.060 to get him to give up some goods

00:06:45.180 that obviously they don't have

00:06:46.860 without him.

00:06:47.760 So it's really starting

00:06:52.360 to look like

00:06:53.120 the Trump family members

00:06:54.700 are going to be fine

00:06:55.520 at the moment.

00:06:59.380 No anti-Semitism, please.

00:07:02.720 Not called for.

00:07:04.300 We can make fun of his name

00:07:05.480 without being anti-Semitic.

00:07:07.620 Let's draw that line

00:07:09.280 pretty starkly, okay?

00:07:12.220 Yeah, we don't want any of that.

00:07:13.460 I don't want to block you.

00:07:14.600 Just don't be a jerk, okay?

00:07:17.760 All right,

00:07:19.700 so that's coming.

00:07:22.600 New York Times

00:07:23.580 is breaking news.

00:07:27.280 Apparently they found

00:07:28.340 a massive fossilized body part

00:07:32.200 from a new species

00:07:34.160 of ancient human.

00:07:35.320 So this could turn out

00:07:36.220 to be a whole new

00:07:37.240 ancient species

00:07:38.420 we didn't know about.

00:07:39.920 And they found

00:07:40.860 a really large body part

00:07:43.920 fossilized.

00:07:45.540 They've named this new

00:07:46.860 entity

00:07:48.580 Homo longi.

00:07:51.680 Homo longi.

00:07:53.880 And they found

00:07:54.760 a massive body part

00:07:56.180 that was fossilized.

00:07:58.800 It was a skull.

00:08:00.280 It was a skull.

00:08:01.800 Yeah,

00:08:02.480 it was a massive skull.

00:08:05.240 And they're not calling

00:08:06.800 him Homo longi

00:08:07.860 because

00:08:08.920 why?

00:08:10.860 Because

00:08:11.400 there are such things

00:08:13.240 as 7th grade boys.

00:08:15.960 You don't want to have

00:08:17.360 a science class.

00:08:19.360 Trust me on this.

00:08:20.760 You don't want to have

00:08:21.560 a science class

00:08:22.500 where your science teacher

00:08:24.020 stands in front of

00:08:25.460 a bunch of

00:08:26.000 7th grade boys

00:08:27.100 and says

00:08:28.380 they found this new fossil

00:08:30.000 from Homo longi.

00:08:33.700 Now,

00:08:34.580 that lesson

00:08:35.580 will just go

00:08:36.240 right off the track.

00:08:37.820 Because,

00:08:39.420 I don't know if you know this,

00:08:41.000 but all men

00:08:41.900 are 7th grade boys.

00:08:44.500 On the inside.

00:08:46.560 We never really

00:08:47.920 get past that.

00:08:49.560 This might be

00:08:50.400 the first time

00:08:51.020 you've heard it.

00:08:52.120 But,

00:08:52.400 if you're in the

00:08:53.320 male

00:08:53.840 category,

00:08:56.020 you get about

00:08:56.640 7th grade

00:08:57.480 and your sense of humor

00:08:59.020 locks in

00:08:59.720 and after that

00:09:00.560 you just pretend

00:09:01.280 it didn't.

00:09:01.780 But,

00:09:04.340 they're going to call,

00:09:08.940 they're calling this

00:09:09.820 Finding Dragon Man

00:09:11.640 instead of

00:09:12.560 Homo longi.

00:09:14.620 Now,

00:09:15.160 again,

00:09:15.420 we're not making

00:09:16.120 anti-LGBTQ

00:09:17.880 jokes here.

00:09:19.080 I'm just pointing out

00:09:19.900 that if you

00:09:20.520 say Homo longi

00:09:22.100 in front of a bunch

00:09:22.940 of 7th grade boys,

00:09:24.340 that lesson plan

00:09:25.440 is going to go

00:09:25.940 off the track

00:09:26.880 pretty quickly.

00:09:30.660 All right.

00:09:31.080 here's

00:09:33.500 Twitter

00:09:34.680 handling the

00:09:35.800 question of

00:09:36.840 what experts

00:09:37.820 say about masks.

00:09:39.360 Don't turn it off.

00:09:40.700 You'll like this part.

00:09:42.300 You know,

00:09:42.560 even the people

00:09:43.320 who hate me on masks.

00:09:45.020 Now,

00:09:45.440 it's my belief

00:09:46.780 that masks

00:09:47.300 are effective

00:09:48.000 if used

00:09:48.600 in the right

00:09:49.580 situations.

00:09:51.080 And,

00:09:51.620 obviously,

00:09:51.980 the right situation

00:09:52.800 is important.

00:09:53.560 So,

00:09:53.740 if you're out

00:09:54.040 going for a jog,

00:09:55.880 probably that's

00:09:56.720 not the right

00:09:57.200 situation to wear

00:09:57.960 a mask.

00:09:59.280 But,

00:10:00.020 here's

00:10:00.360 so Twitter

00:10:02.340 will often

00:10:02.940 summarize a topic

00:10:04.680 and then point you

00:10:06.280 to a bunch of

00:10:06.980 articles on that

00:10:07.760 topic.

00:10:08.200 And so they did

00:10:08.660 that today.

00:10:09.460 And it was titled

00:10:10.520 Experts Say Masks

00:10:12.040 Are Safe and Effective

00:10:13.240 in Preventing the

00:10:14.080 Spread of COVID-19.

00:10:15.840 Now,

00:10:16.420 if you saw

00:10:17.040 a summary title

00:10:18.280 that was going

00:10:19.160 to refer to

00:10:19.880 a number of tweets

00:10:20.760 and it told you

00:10:22.040 that masks

00:10:22.560 are safe and effective,

00:10:24.060 according to experts

00:10:25.140 and fact-checkers,

00:10:26.200 what would you

00:10:28.400 expect to find?

00:10:29.960 Would you expect

00:10:30.960 to find links

00:10:32.780 to those experts?

00:10:34.780 Would you expect

00:10:35.760 to find data

00:10:36.500 from those experts?

00:10:38.320 Would you expect

00:10:38.880 to see fact-checking

00:10:40.680 links where you

00:10:41.560 could go to the

00:10:42.040 fact-checking

00:10:42.620 and maybe there

00:10:43.120 would be more links

00:10:43.920 where they would

00:10:44.880 point to studies

00:10:45.960 and experts

00:10:47.240 and stuff like that?

00:10:48.080 No.

00:10:48.900 You don't have that.

00:10:50.400 What you have

00:10:51.200 is just a statement.

00:10:52.480 The experts say

00:10:53.340 masks are safe

00:10:54.100 and effective

00:10:54.620 with no link

00:10:56.100 to any experts,

00:10:58.180 except for reference

00:10:59.300 to the CDC,

00:11:01.860 but no link

00:11:02.720 to a specific expert

00:11:03.820 and no link

00:11:04.620 to data.

00:11:06.280 So here's the problem.

00:11:09.700 Here's the problem.

00:11:12.520 Why would you

00:11:13.620 present the truth

00:11:14.660 exactly the way

00:11:15.840 people present lies?

00:11:18.580 Now,

00:11:19.260 I'm not saying

00:11:19.820 that masks

00:11:20.520 are ineffective.

00:11:21.620 I've been saying

00:11:22.260 since the beginning,

00:11:23.040 even when

00:11:24.340 the WHO

00:11:24.940 and CDC

00:11:26.420 were saying

00:11:27.100 that you shouldn't

00:11:27.960 use a mask,

00:11:28.760 I was still saying

00:11:29.760 you should use a mask.

00:11:31.400 So I'm the most

00:11:32.240 pro-mask

00:11:34.000 if used right.

00:11:35.700 Don't leave that part out,

00:11:36.860 right?

00:11:37.260 I've never been

00:11:38.120 pro-mask

00:11:38.880 outdoors.

00:11:40.140 I've never been

00:11:40.920 pro-mask

00:11:41.540 for somebody vaccinated.

00:11:43.400 But

00:11:43.760 I've been pro-mask 1.00

00:11:46.220 for the specific situations.

00:11:48.880 And even I think

00:11:50.100 this looks like bullshit,

00:11:51.840 right?

00:11:52.160 I'm already

00:11:53.300 persuaded,

00:11:54.720 pre-persuaded,

00:11:56.060 already totally

00:11:57.040 primed

00:11:57.620 to accept

00:11:58.560 that masks

00:11:59.160 work

00:11:59.660 in the right

00:12:00.440 situations.

00:12:01.960 And they can't

00:12:02.760 give me a freaking 0.58

00:12:03.420 link to it?

00:12:04.900 Because people

00:12:05.680 challenge me

00:12:06.460 all the time

00:12:07.020 on this.

00:12:07.420 And I would love

00:12:07.920 to have,

00:12:08.680 oh,

00:12:09.020 here's the source.

00:12:10.200 I'll just write

00:12:10.700 down that link,

00:12:11.560 you know,

00:12:11.740 copy it.

00:12:12.600 Then every time

00:12:13.240 somebody asks me,

00:12:13.900 I'll say,

00:12:14.160 oh,

00:12:14.300 here's all the

00:12:15.380 experts

00:12:15.900 and their studies

00:12:17.180 and their data

00:12:17.800 and you can see

00:12:18.720 for yourself.

00:12:19.220 But no.

00:12:22.960 This is presented

00:12:24.280 the way you present

00:12:25.980 a lie.

00:12:28.040 Why?

00:12:29.160 Is this just

00:12:29.840 massive incompetence?

00:12:32.000 I mean,

00:12:32.280 this is,

00:12:33.240 to present the truth,

00:12:35.180 especially in an

00:12:36.100 important medical

00:12:36.840 question,

00:12:38.000 as a lie,

00:12:39.280 in other words,

00:12:40.180 the format that

00:12:41.100 only liars use,

00:12:42.600 which is you leave

00:12:43.340 out your data

00:12:43.960 because the data

00:12:45.220 doesn't support

00:12:45.920 your point,

00:12:46.820 why do it this way?

00:12:49.100 I've got a problem

00:12:50.060 with this.

00:12:51.020 It's probably more

00:12:51.980 of a media problem

00:12:52.940 than a science problem

00:12:53.980 because the media

00:12:54.780 has to interpret

00:12:55.480 science and they

00:12:56.240 just can't.

00:12:57.200 Here's what I think

00:12:58.040 is happening.

00:12:59.240 I think that the

00:13:00.260 experts are sure

00:13:01.660 that these things

00:13:02.540 work,

00:13:03.120 meaning most of the

00:13:03.900 experts in most

00:13:04.960 industrialized countries

00:13:06.640 are pretty sure

00:13:07.780 that it works,

00:13:08.460 but they don't

00:13:09.080 have data.

00:13:11.540 Is that what's

00:13:12.080 going on?

00:13:12.500 that the experts

00:13:14.380 just using the

00:13:15.900 sum of everything

00:13:17.000 they know about

00:13:17.880 the topic

00:13:18.520 are pretty sure

00:13:19.760 it works,

00:13:20.840 the mass,

00:13:21.580 in the right

00:13:22.020 situations,

00:13:22.940 but they don't

00:13:24.640 have the right

00:13:25.160 data.

00:13:26.360 They don't have

00:13:26.840 anything to point

00:13:27.500 to, do they?

00:13:28.900 That's the only

00:13:29.560 thing I can figure

00:13:30.500 out,

00:13:31.080 is that they're

00:13:31.860 sure,

00:13:32.760 but they're sure

00:13:33.780 without data.

00:13:37.140 The very entity

00:13:38.380 which tells us

00:13:39.360 you should never

00:13:40.220 be sure without

00:13:40.960 data because you

00:13:41.860 could be so

00:13:42.340 easily misled.

00:13:44.220 This is very

00:13:45.180 uncomfortable

00:13:45.780 because I want

00:13:48.160 them to give me

00:13:48.860 cover for having

00:13:50.480 said that in the

00:13:51.260 right situations,

00:13:52.840 and only in the

00:13:53.420 right situations,

00:13:54.760 that masks could

00:13:55.600 be effective.

00:13:56.580 I would love to

00:13:57.420 have some support

00:13:58.140 for that,

00:13:59.180 but apparently

00:14:00.440 that doesn't

00:14:01.000 exist.

00:14:02.020 So let me say

00:14:04.140 as clearly as

00:14:04.980 possible,

00:14:06.100 as far as I can

00:14:07.820 tell, 0.94

00:14:08.080 there's no support

00:14:08.780 for that opinion,

00:14:10.360 scientific.

00:14:11.140 or it would

00:14:13.220 be here,

00:14:14.280 right?

00:14:15.080 Why would you

00:14:15.700 leave that out?

00:14:17.580 So I still

00:14:18.580 think they work,

00:14:19.420 but I don't

00:14:19.880 think it's

00:14:20.460 supported in

00:14:21.580 the way that

00:14:22.360 you'd want it

00:14:22.820 to be supported

00:14:23.380 by science.

00:14:23.960 All right.

00:14:29.020 Here's an

00:14:29.680 interesting idea

00:14:31.600 that I saw

00:14:32.280 in a tweet

00:14:32.700 by Jeff

00:14:33.440 Pilkington,

00:14:34.900 who you should

00:14:35.920 follow.

00:14:36.520 He has a lot

00:14:37.320 of great

00:14:37.800 tweets that

00:14:40.180 cut,

00:14:40.960 sometimes they

00:14:41.780 cut left and

00:14:42.580 sometimes they

00:14:43.320 cut right,

00:14:44.380 and there aren't

00:14:44.860 many people who

00:14:45.580 can straddle that

00:14:46.540 line,

00:14:47.400 so you should

00:14:47.840 follow him.

00:14:48.220 It's Jeff

00:14:48.900 with a G,

00:14:49.620 G-E-O-F-F, 1.00

00:14:52.020 Pilkington,

00:14:53.180 P-I-L-K-I-N-G-T-O-N. 1.00

00:14:55.680 All right.

00:14:56.260 And he's

00:14:57.080 pointing to an

00:14:57.600 article that

00:14:58.120 says,

00:14:58.740 in the near

00:15:00.560 term,

00:15:00.940 classic psychedelics

00:15:02.100 is what we're

00:15:02.620 going to have.

00:15:04.140 Ba-ba-ba-ba.

00:15:06.140 Basically,

00:15:06.860 there's an

00:15:07.140 idea that

00:15:07.960 psychedelics,

00:15:10.060 you could

00:15:10.640 separate the

00:15:11.800 part that

00:15:12.200 makes you

00:15:12.560 happy with

00:15:13.980 the psychedelics,

00:15:14.800 the euphoric

00:15:15.300 part,

00:15:15.600 and turn

00:15:16.600 that into a

00:15:17.120 drug to

00:15:17.600 make people

00:15:18.180 less depressed

00:15:19.040 and happy

00:15:19.580 without the

00:15:21.080 trip.

00:15:22.520 So there are

00:15:23.020 people figuring

00:15:23.600 out how to

00:15:24.000 take a

00:15:24.320 psychedelic and

00:15:25.240 remove the

00:15:25.820 psychedelic part,

00:15:27.280 but keep the

00:15:27.920 euphoria part.

00:15:29.880 Is that a

00:15:30.400 good idea?

00:15:32.300 How many of

00:15:33.260 you who have

00:15:34.200 experienced

00:15:34.980 psychedelics of

00:15:36.520 one kind or

00:15:37.080 another,

00:15:37.860 if you have

00:15:38.440 experienced

00:15:39.120 psychedelics,

00:15:40.620 would it be a

00:15:41.260 good idea to

00:15:42.500 remove the

00:15:43.460 psychedelic

00:15:44.100 experience and

00:15:45.440 just keep

00:15:45.960 the feel-good

00:15:47.080 part?

00:15:48.220 What do

00:15:48.480 you think?

00:15:52.240 It's a bad

00:15:53.040 idea.

00:15:54.380 It might be

00:15:55.160 one of the

00:15:55.540 worst ideas

00:15:56.200 I've ever

00:15:56.660 heard in

00:15:57.380 my life.

00:15:58.980 So here's

00:15:59.500 what's missing

00:16:00.040 in the

00:16:00.340 story.

00:16:01.480 Yeah.

00:16:02.720 You can see

00:16:03.480 in the

00:16:03.700 comments,

00:16:04.140 anybody who's

00:16:04.640 had experience

00:16:05.280 with the

00:16:05.640 psychedelics,

00:16:06.380 they will

00:16:06.620 tell you,

00:16:07.700 the trip

00:16:08.460 is the

00:16:10.120 medicine.

00:16:12.040 The

00:16:12.560 psychedelic

00:16:14.500 part,

00:16:15.080 the part

00:16:15.500 that you

00:16:15.740 remember,

00:16:16.700 the part

00:16:17.000 that you

00:16:17.180 experience,

00:16:18.160 that's the

00:16:18.780 medicine.

00:16:19.720 Because it

00:16:20.100 changes how

00:16:20.600 you see the

00:16:21.080 world permanently

00:16:21.800 and that

00:16:22.720 change then

00:16:23.780 affects your

00:16:24.320 body chemistry,

00:16:25.200 your mental

00:16:25.580 health,

00:16:25.960 etc.

00:16:26.140 But if you

00:16:27.120 take out

00:16:27.560 the psychological

00:16:28.960 mental part

00:16:30.280 of the

00:16:30.660 experience,

00:16:31.680 all you have

00:16:33.400 is a deeply

00:16:34.160 addictive drug.

00:16:36.620 Right?

00:16:37.400 Let's say it

00:16:38.040 worked.

00:16:38.880 Let's say they

00:16:39.420 could come up

00:16:39.980 with a drug

00:16:40.420 that would

00:16:40.680 just make

00:16:41.200 you happy.

00:16:42.600 Could you

00:16:43.020 not take

00:16:43.620 it for the

00:16:44.660 rest of

00:16:44.980 your life?

00:16:46.020 No.

00:16:46.600 You would

00:16:46.940 have to

00:16:47.360 take that

00:16:47.760 drug for

00:16:48.200 the rest

00:16:48.500 of your

00:16:48.760 life.

00:16:49.580 You would

00:16:49.920 be addicted

00:16:50.620 to some

00:16:51.740 pharmaceutical

00:16:52.340 drug that

00:16:53.280 you would

00:16:53.520 have to

00:16:53.800 pay for

00:16:54.260 and you

00:16:54.860 could never

00:16:55.300 go off

00:16:55.800 it for

00:16:56.120 the rest

00:16:56.480 of your

00:16:56.720 life.

00:16:57.000 Because it

00:16:57.220 would just

00:16:57.460 feel too

00:16:57.820 good.

00:16:58.640 And the

00:16:58.920 alternative

00:16:59.280 would be

00:16:59.860 to feel

00:17:00.320 your old

00:17:00.820 depressed

00:17:01.480 shitty

00:17:01.720 way.

00:17:02.680 It's

00:17:02.960 the worst

00:17:03.420 idea I've

00:17:04.280 ever heard

00:17:04.680 in my

00:17:04.900 life on

00:17:05.660 the surface.

00:17:06.680 Right?

00:17:07.260 I mean,

00:17:07.600 I'm open

00:17:07.980 to

00:17:08.340 learning

00:17:09.000 that maybe

00:17:09.480 there's

00:17:09.880 something I

00:17:10.460 don't know.

00:17:11.800 But on

00:17:12.200 the surface

00:17:12.660 it's really

00:17:13.400 missing the

00:17:13.920 point by as

00:17:14.640 much as

00:17:14.960 you can

00:17:15.220 miss it.

00:17:15.900 It's the

00:17:16.360 experience

00:17:17.140 that is

00:17:17.960 the medicine,

00:17:18.700 not the

00:17:19.260 chemistry

00:17:19.680 at all,

00:17:21.940 in my

00:17:22.420 opinion.

00:17:23.140 My non-medical

00:17:24.120 opinion there,

00:17:24.720 so take

00:17:25.200 that with

00:17:25.780 skepticism.

00:17:27.600 But I

00:17:28.200 learned in

00:17:28.780 the process

00:17:29.340 of looking

00:17:30.080 into this

00:17:30.520 that there

00:17:31.580 was a

00:17:32.200 hypothesis

00:17:33.220 by

00:17:34.140 Terence

00:17:35.760 McKenna

00:17:36.240 who

00:17:37.700 died in

00:17:38.560 the year

00:17:38.880 2000.

00:17:39.560 He was

00:17:39.760 an

00:17:39.920 ethnobotanist.

00:17:42.480 And he

00:17:42.900 proposed

00:17:43.440 that maybe

00:17:44.400 the way

00:17:44.900 the apes

00:17:46.100 evolved into

00:17:47.260 humans,

00:17:47.900 or at

00:17:48.400 least the

00:17:48.720 way early

00:17:49.280 humans

00:17:49.760 evolved into

00:17:51.220 the smart

00:17:51.900 kind of

00:17:52.240 humans that

00:17:52.740 we know,

00:17:53.620 is that

00:17:54.060 they had

00:17:54.580 a lot of

00:17:54.940 mushrooms.

00:17:56.980 So there's

00:17:57.780 actually a

00:17:58.280 hypothesis,

00:18:00.100 I don't

00:18:00.560 know how

00:18:00.840 much weight

00:18:01.260 to put on

00:18:01.660 this,

00:18:02.320 that the

00:18:03.040 very reason

00:18:04.200 that early

00:18:05.580 apes or

00:18:06.640 ape humans

00:18:07.340 or whatever

00:18:07.760 the early

00:18:08.200 prototypes

00:18:08.700 were.

00:18:10.380 Yeah,

00:18:10.600 the stoned,

00:18:11.220 exactly,

00:18:12.300 it's called

00:18:12.620 the stoned

00:18:13.260 ape hypothesis

00:18:14.400 that what

00:18:15.780 evolved us

00:18:16.640 to our

00:18:17.060 higher level

00:18:17.720 of consciousness,

00:18:19.440 I guess,

00:18:20.380 was taking a

00:18:21.360 lot of

00:18:21.560 mushrooms.

00:18:22.920 And I

00:18:23.260 guess there's

00:18:23.700 a little bit

00:18:24.360 of evidence

00:18:25.880 about that.

00:18:28.500 So I'm

00:18:29.880 not sure I

00:18:30.400 would buy

00:18:30.740 into that

00:18:31.280 hypothesis,

00:18:32.640 but it's

00:18:33.360 really provocative

00:18:34.060 and I

00:18:34.560 also wouldn't

00:18:35.220 rule it

00:18:35.660 out.

00:18:36.700 So on

00:18:37.160 its surface,

00:18:38.040 I would

00:18:38.360 say,

00:18:38.900 wow,

00:18:39.260 that's

00:18:39.480 provocative,

00:18:40.800 maybe.

00:18:41.980 I wouldn't

00:18:42.420 bet anything

00:18:42.960 on it,

00:18:43.480 but it's

00:18:44.800 at least

00:18:45.260 within the

00:18:45.980 realm of

00:18:46.700 maybe

00:18:47.480 possible.

00:18:49.640 Have I

00:18:50.280 told you

00:18:50.560 before that

00:18:51.080 one of the

00:18:51.380 ways you

00:18:51.740 can identify

00:18:53.300 a vulnerable

00:18:54.880 narcissist is

00:18:56.360 that they

00:18:56.620 have very

00:18:57.020 consistent

00:18:57.740 behavior

00:18:58.360 patterns,

00:18:58.840 which I

00:18:59.720 only learned

00:19:00.380 recently,

00:19:01.600 that people

00:19:04.020 who are in

00:19:04.540 this category

00:19:05.100 will respond

00:19:05.980 in a very

00:19:06.520 predictable

00:19:07.000 way.

00:19:08.020 And I've

00:19:08.260 told you

00:19:08.520 before that

00:19:09.140 CNN responds

00:19:11.920 like a

00:19:12.500 vulnerable

00:19:12.920 narcissist,

00:19:14.200 and you

00:19:14.800 can actually

00:19:15.260 predict it

00:19:16.000 fairly easily.

00:19:17.340 Here's a

00:19:17.700 perfect example.

00:19:19.400 What happens

00:19:20.160 when a

00:19:21.260 vulnerable

00:19:21.620 narcissist

00:19:22.140 has been

00:19:22.800 telling a

00:19:23.320 lie,

00:19:24.460 let's say

00:19:24.820 they've been

00:19:25.180 gaslighting

00:19:25.900 you,

00:19:26.460 presenting you

00:19:27.040 with a

00:19:27.640 set of

00:19:28.420 complete

00:19:29.140 falsehoods,

00:19:30.240 and then

00:19:30.980 you call

00:19:31.480 them out

00:19:31.920 and you

00:19:32.220 prove beyond

00:19:33.100 a shadow

00:19:33.800 of a doubt,

00:19:34.760 maybe you've

00:19:35.280 got documentation,

00:19:36.540 you've got

00:19:37.040 written proof,

00:19:38.400 but you prove

00:19:39.280 that the

00:19:39.780 narcissist was

00:19:40.920 lying.

00:19:41.860 What happens?

00:19:43.400 Does anybody

00:19:44.000 know?

00:19:44.780 What happens

00:19:45.380 when you

00:19:45.740 prove,

00:19:46.520 no doubt

00:19:46.940 about it,

00:19:47.920 that a

00:19:48.320 narcissist

00:19:48.700 has lied

00:19:49.460 about something

00:19:50.580 big?

00:19:51.660 What do

00:19:52.240 they do?

00:19:53.800 They will

00:19:54.820 predictably

00:19:56.600 go after

00:19:58.260 the

00:19:58.680 messenger.

00:20:00.260 They will

00:20:00.620 say things

00:20:01.120 like,

00:20:01.440 how did

00:20:01.780 you find

00:20:02.160 that out,

00:20:03.440 as opposed

00:20:04.080 to it's

00:20:04.500 true or

00:20:04.820 false,

00:20:05.540 and they'll

00:20:06.260 say,

00:20:06.760 you have

00:20:07.360 no credentials

00:20:08.020 to say

00:20:09.300 that.

00:20:09.860 They'll

00:20:10.100 say,

00:20:10.440 you once

00:20:10.840 lied in

00:20:11.340 the past,

00:20:12.240 you have

00:20:12.720 a bad

00:20:13.040 character.

00:20:14.540 So what

00:20:15.060 happened

00:20:15.480 when CNN

00:20:16.820 discovered

00:20:17.840 that all

00:20:18.940 that reporting

00:20:19.540 they'd done

00:20:20.040 about Trump

00:20:20.660 allegedly

00:20:21.240 clearing the

00:20:22.700 square with

00:20:23.700 tear gas so

00:20:24.520 that he could

00:20:24.860 do a photo

00:20:25.440 op with an

00:20:26.040 upside-down

00:20:26.660 Bible,

00:20:27.540 which is

00:20:28.080 what CNN

00:20:28.620 had reported

00:20:29.300 for many

00:20:29.820 months,

00:20:30.600 and then the

00:20:31.020 inspector general

00:20:31.900 finds out

00:20:32.660 that none of

00:20:33.640 that's true,

00:20:34.820 that it wasn't

00:20:36.060 the Trump

00:20:36.440 administration

00:20:37.020 that cleared

00:20:37.520 the park,

00:20:38.180 it was the

00:20:38.780 local people,

00:20:39.520 and they did

00:20:39.840 it for a good

00:20:40.300 reason,

00:20:41.020 and even the

00:20:42.560 Bible wasn't 1.00

00:20:43.120 upside down,

00:20:43.920 and basically

00:20:44.580 everything about

00:20:45.360 the story was

00:20:45.980 false.

00:20:46.860 So what

00:20:47.280 did CNN

00:20:47.760 do when

00:20:49.740 it's proven

00:20:51.300 beyond any

00:20:52.140 reasonable doubt

00:20:52.920 that the

00:20:53.640 reporting was

00:20:54.440 all gaslighting

00:20:55.620 and bullshit 0.88

00:20:56.060 for months

00:20:57.380 and months?

00:20:58.000 What did

00:20:58.340 they do?

00:20:59.620 Well,

00:21:00.020 Jim Acosta

00:21:00.680 attacked the

00:21:01.480 inspector general

00:21:02.440 of being

00:21:04.060 somebody who

00:21:04.640 was trying

00:21:05.980 to apply

00:21:06.440 for a job

00:21:07.120 at Mar-a-Lago.

00:21:08.880 He basically

00:21:09.800 went after

00:21:10.280 the messenger,

00:21:11.560 an inspector

00:21:12.220 general who

00:21:12.860 has worked

00:21:13.260 for both

00:21:13.780 administrations,

00:21:14.940 Democrat and

00:21:15.620 Republican,

00:21:16.760 a totally

00:21:17.400 trusted public

00:21:18.560 servant who

00:21:19.660 up until this

00:21:20.360 point had been

00:21:21.120 doing nothing

00:21:21.660 but bipartisan

00:21:22.460 work for

00:21:23.500 both sides,

00:21:24.840 and suddenly

00:21:25.500 CNN has

00:21:27.000 decided that

00:21:28.080 this guy is

00:21:28.560 the biggest

00:21:28.900 asshole in

00:21:29.500 the world,

00:21:30.420 and I guess

00:21:31.060 you shouldn't

00:21:31.420 listen to him.

00:21:32.920 That, my

00:21:33.760 friends, is a

00:21:35.180 classic tell for

00:21:36.880 vulnerable

00:21:37.440 narcissism.

00:21:38.660 Now, of

00:21:39.060 course, I'm

00:21:40.060 extending the

00:21:41.360 theory here

00:21:43.360 farther than I

00:21:44.140 should, and I'm

00:21:45.100 making it about

00:21:45.740 an organization

00:21:46.640 as opposed to

00:21:47.440 a person,

00:21:48.520 but I feel

00:21:49.520 like CNN

00:21:50.120 acts like a

00:21:52.040 person, which

00:21:53.820 is my

00:21:54.180 hypothesis, that

00:21:55.540 you could

00:21:55.880 predict what

00:21:56.820 CNN will do

00:21:57.800 next by

00:21:59.320 narcissist

00:21:59.940 theory.

00:22:01.720 So, let's

00:22:03.540 make a

00:22:03.980 prediction.

00:22:04.780 The next

00:22:05.220 time CNN

00:22:06.320 is found to

00:22:07.280 be completely

00:22:08.300 presenting fake

00:22:09.360 news, look

00:22:10.720 for one of

00:22:11.360 their main

00:22:13.380 characters to

00:22:15.120 attack the

00:22:16.300 personality or

00:22:17.260 the credibility

00:22:17.900 of whoever

00:22:18.520 caught them.

00:22:19.120 look for

00:22:20.340 that to

00:22:20.640 happen again,

00:22:21.560 and you'll

00:22:22.060 start seeing

00:22:22.700 that the

00:22:23.000 pattern is

00:22:23.540 repeatable.

00:22:26.080 All right.

00:22:27.700 You know, I've

00:22:28.240 been out and

00:22:29.000 about, as many

00:22:29.740 of you have,

00:22:30.620 especially if

00:22:31.380 you've been

00:22:31.680 vaccinated, and

00:22:33.260 I don't know

00:22:33.860 if you're

00:22:34.120 having this

00:22:34.560 experience, but

00:22:35.360 I go into

00:22:36.300 Safeway, the

00:22:37.540 local supermarket

00:22:38.520 yesterday, and

00:22:40.400 I note that

00:22:41.080 maybe half of

00:22:41.860 the people are

00:22:42.340 unmasked,

00:22:43.540 presumably the

00:22:44.420 people with

00:22:44.820 vaccinations,

00:22:45.660 including me.

00:22:46.540 and I see

00:22:47.800 about half

00:22:48.200 the people

00:22:48.540 still have

00:22:48.900 masks on,

00:22:49.980 presumably they

00:22:51.000 are not

00:22:51.580 vaccinated,

00:22:52.340 might be some

00:22:53.000 that are, and

00:22:54.380 I said to

00:22:54.840 myself, we

00:22:56.660 basically have

00:22:57.380 created two

00:22:58.140 classes of

00:22:58.840 people.

00:23:00.240 One class is

00:23:01.340 free, like

00:23:03.460 me, I don't

00:23:04.440 have to wear a

00:23:04.980 mask, I'm

00:23:05.400 free, and the

00:23:06.540 other class are

00:23:07.700 still sort of a

00:23:08.460 slave class. 0.95

00:23:09.540 They have to

00:23:10.240 wear a mask to

00:23:11.120 go into a place

00:23:12.460 of business.

00:23:13.740 I don't, and

00:23:15.620 I said to

00:23:16.060 myself, well, I

00:23:17.260 completely respect

00:23:18.520 anybody's medical

00:23:20.900 decision that's

00:23:21.680 different from

00:23:22.180 mine.

00:23:23.100 I'm not a

00:23:23.860 doctor, so I'm

00:23:24.500 not going to

00:23:24.840 tell you what

00:23:25.280 you should or

00:23:25.760 should not do

00:23:26.400 with a mask

00:23:27.140 or a

00:23:27.420 vaccination.

00:23:28.340 I can talk

00:23:28.920 about whether

00:23:29.320 they work, but

00:23:30.800 that's different

00:23:31.300 from what you

00:23:32.080 should do.

00:23:33.020 Your decisions

00:23:33.860 are your

00:23:34.200 decisions, especially

00:23:35.540 the medical

00:23:36.020 ones, so don't

00:23:37.120 let me be

00:23:37.640 influencing that.

00:23:40.040 That said, it

00:23:42.600 really feels

00:23:44.380 bad for me.

00:23:46.800 I have this

00:23:48.940 deep empathy

00:23:49.920 for the people

00:23:51.340 who did not

00:23:51.980 get the

00:23:52.360 vaccination.

00:23:53.200 I get you

00:23:53.600 had a reason,

00:23:54.540 or maybe it

00:23:55.060 wasn't available

00:23:55.600 yet, or you

00:23:56.140 just haven't

00:23:56.500 gotten around

00:23:56.920 to it, but

00:23:57.820 boy, does it

00:23:58.420 feel different.

00:24:00.040 When I walk

00:24:00.800 into a store

00:24:01.420 without a mask

00:24:02.240 now, I feel

00:24:03.640 like the

00:24:04.020 freest person

00:24:04.800 in the world,

00:24:05.680 and I look

00:24:06.800 around and

00:24:07.260 see my

00:24:07.740 masked

00:24:08.380 citizens,

00:24:11.360 they look

00:24:13.640 like they're

00:24:14.020 not happy,

00:24:15.060 and I feel

00:24:16.020 bad for them.

00:24:17.140 Now, again,

00:24:17.780 I'm not telling

00:24:18.340 you you should

00:24:18.900 get a

00:24:19.460 vaccination.

00:24:20.520 That's a

00:24:20.920 medical decision.

00:24:21.820 It's not one

00:24:22.400 for me to

00:24:22.820 influence you.

00:24:24.060 But if you

00:24:25.740 want freedom,

00:24:27.860 they've kind

00:24:28.520 of made it

00:24:28.940 hard to get

00:24:29.580 it one way

00:24:30.180 and easy to

00:24:30.960 get it the

00:24:31.320 other way,

00:24:31.980 and if I

00:24:33.320 had not been

00:24:34.740 already inclined

00:24:35.600 to get the

00:24:36.060 vaccinations,

00:24:37.200 I think I

00:24:38.260 would have

00:24:38.560 gotten them

00:24:38.980 just for the

00:24:39.500 freedom,

00:24:40.380 which isn't

00:24:41.540 the right

00:24:42.620 medical incentive

00:24:44.280 in my opinion.

00:24:45.500 I would like

00:24:46.200 to make my

00:24:46.720 medical decisions

00:24:47.760 entirely based

00:24:49.020 on a medical

00:24:50.000 analysis,

00:24:51.360 but I wouldn't

00:24:52.560 if I didn't

00:24:53.420 have the

00:24:53.760 vaccination and

00:24:54.600 I had to

00:24:55.320 wear a mask

00:24:55.900 in the grocery

00:24:56.580 store and

00:24:57.020 everybody else

00:24:57.580 didn't,

00:24:58.440 or at least

00:24:58.880 everybody

00:24:59.220 vaccinated

00:24:59.800 didn't,

00:25:00.900 I'd probably

00:25:01.820 just go get

00:25:02.480 the vaccination

00:25:03.260 just to buy

00:25:04.720 my freedom

00:25:05.300 back at the

00:25:06.260 risk of

00:25:07.940 whatever

00:25:08.300 complications

00:25:09.120 the vaccination

00:25:09.860 could present.

00:25:11.420 Small,

00:25:12.340 but complications.

00:25:14.300 So,

00:25:15.080 what do you

00:25:16.040 feel about

00:25:16.460 the ethics

00:25:17.180 of using

00:25:18.960 freedom

00:25:19.840 as an

00:25:22.200 incentive

00:25:23.040 to get

00:25:23.460 vaccinated?

00:25:25.540 That's really

00:25:26.380 wrong,

00:25:26.860 isn't it?

00:25:27.940 Do you have

00:25:28.460 the same

00:25:28.820 feeling about

00:25:29.560 it?

00:25:30.540 It might

00:25:31.180 work,

00:25:31.860 and it

00:25:32.100 might turn

00:25:32.480 out to be

00:25:33.080 the most

00:25:34.160 useful thing

00:25:34.780 that ever

00:25:35.120 happened,

00:25:36.040 but it

00:25:36.840 feels really

00:25:37.740 unethical

00:25:38.460 that the

00:25:39.720 reason people

00:25:40.600 are being

00:25:41.460 pressured to

00:25:42.140 get a

00:25:42.360 vaccination

00:25:42.860 is so

00:25:43.680 they can

00:25:44.000 travel,

00:25:45.480 right?

00:25:46.640 So they

00:25:47.160 can travel.

00:25:48.120 It would

00:25:48.440 be one

00:25:48.820 thing if

00:25:49.360 you're still

00:25:49.720 in the

00:25:49.940 middle of

00:25:50.260 the pandemic

00:25:50.800 and,

00:25:51.700 you know,

00:25:51.820 you're just

00:25:52.120 doing whatever

00:25:52.540 you can to

00:25:53.140 save lives,

00:25:54.100 but we're

00:25:54.820 sort of past

00:25:55.560 that part,

00:25:56.740 and we're

00:25:57.100 into the

00:25:57.440 part where

00:25:57.840 if you're

00:25:58.220 not vaccinated,

00:25:59.480 you know

00:26:00.320 exactly what

00:26:01.320 the risks

00:26:01.800 are,

00:26:02.720 right?

00:26:03.180 We're all

00:26:03.640 informed at

00:26:04.680 this point.

00:26:07.740 Huh.

00:26:14.780 Interesting.

00:26:15.980 Very bizarre

00:26:16.720 message.

00:26:17.380 I don't know

00:26:17.700 what it means,

00:26:18.260 but if one

00:26:19.080 of you

00:26:19.300 said it to

00:26:19.720 me,

00:26:20.680 you're going

00:26:21.260 to need to

00:26:21.560 be more

00:26:21.900 clear than

00:26:22.360 that.

00:26:24.340 All right.

00:26:25.740 We continue

00:26:26.660 to have public

00:26:27.440 arguments about

00:26:28.160 critical race

00:26:28.760 theory,

00:26:29.340 some for it,

00:26:30.000 some against

00:26:30.420 it,

00:26:30.940 but we're

00:26:32.420 not really

00:26:32.860 even talking

00:26:33.360 about the

00:26:33.720 same thing,

00:26:34.260 right?

00:26:34.460 Whatever

00:26:36.040 your opinion

00:26:36.880 of it is,

00:26:37.620 is different

00:26:38.120 than the

00:26:38.840 people on

00:26:39.180 the other

00:26:39.420 side,

00:26:40.280 and so

00:26:40.540 when you

00:26:40.840 say you

00:26:41.240 shouldn't

00:26:41.540 do it,

00:26:41.900 you're not

00:26:42.200 even in

00:26:42.580 the same

00:26:42.900 conversation,

00:26:44.160 because they're

00:26:44.520 saying,

00:26:44.860 shouldn't do

00:26:45.240 what?

00:26:45.920 You're not

00:26:46.320 even talking

00:26:46.760 about the

00:26:47.120 right thing.

00:26:48.100 Why wouldn't

00:26:48.560 we teach

00:26:48.980 history?

00:26:49.860 You're saying,

00:26:50.360 I'm not

00:26:50.640 talking about

00:26:51.160 teaching history,

00:26:51.960 I'm talking

00:26:52.420 about the

00:26:52.780 bad things

00:26:53.220 you say.

00:26:53.900 What bad

00:26:54.400 things do

00:26:54.760 we say?

00:26:55.360 Well,

00:26:55.560 here are

00:26:55.780 some examples.

00:26:56.780 Well,

00:26:57.000 we don't

00:26:57.260 say those

00:26:57.700 things,

00:26:58.120 but somebody

00:26:58.560 says those

00:26:59.100 things.

00:26:59.720 Yeah,

00:26:59.920 but they only

00:27:04.460 it's the

00:27:05.180 whole argument

00:27:05.940 over critical

00:27:06.780 race theory.

00:27:09.360 It's not

00:27:10.440 even anywhere

00:27:11.780 near the

00:27:12.620 realm of

00:27:13.980 a rational,

00:27:14.780 logical argument

00:27:15.540 where people

00:27:16.560 are presenting

00:27:17.100 their facts,

00:27:18.260 and then you're

00:27:18.960 arguing on

00:27:19.480 the same set

00:27:20.040 of facts.

00:27:21.320 Nothing like

00:27:21.980 that's happening.

00:27:23.240 Here's what

00:27:23.960 I would like

00:27:24.800 to see.

00:27:25.900 I'd like to

00:27:26.680 see a checklist

00:27:27.440 of critical

00:27:29.560 race theory,

00:27:31.100 let's say,

00:27:31.940 claims or

00:27:33.140 framing.

00:27:35.740 Could be

00:27:36.140 the one.

00:27:36.600 Facts,

00:27:37.760 claims,

00:27:38.420 or the way

00:27:38.820 they frame

00:27:39.300 something.

00:27:39.960 Just want

00:27:40.320 to see a

00:27:40.680 list,

00:27:41.700 and then

00:27:42.040 when somebody

00:27:42.500 says,

00:27:43.000 I don't

00:27:43.240 like critical

00:27:44.020 race theory

00:27:44.620 in this

00:27:45.120 context,

00:27:46.220 then the

00:27:46.600 other person

00:27:47.060 can say,

00:27:47.880 all right,

00:27:48.140 here's the

00:27:48.520 full list.

00:27:49.660 The only

00:27:50.300 thing from

00:27:50.760 the list

00:27:51.140 that we

00:27:51.560 want to

00:27:51.960 teach in

00:27:52.300 our school

00:27:52.800 or our

00:27:53.480 business

00:27:53.980 or our

00:27:54.480 military

00:27:54.800 or whatever

00:27:55.140 is this

00:27:56.140 one,

00:27:56.860 this one,

00:27:57.380 and this

00:27:57.620 one.

00:27:58.840 So we're

00:27:59.440 not teaching

00:27:59.920 the whole

00:28:00.260 list,

00:28:01.080 but we're

00:28:01.700 taking some

00:28:02.240 important things

00:28:02.940 from the

00:28:03.400 list.

00:28:04.220 We don't

00:28:04.880 call that

00:28:05.260 critical race

00:28:05.860 theory,

00:28:06.300 we just

00:28:06.580 call it

00:28:06.940 some good

00:28:07.340 things that

00:28:07.740 people need

00:28:08.160 to know.

00:28:10.340 Tell me

00:28:11.000 what those

00:28:11.400 are.

00:28:12.840 Stop

00:28:13.360 making me

00:28:14.100 argue

00:28:14.500 critical race

00:28:15.320 theory,

00:28:15.840 yes or

00:28:16.200 no,

00:28:16.840 because it's

00:28:17.500 never quite

00:28:18.200 that.

00:28:19.700 It's

00:28:20.080 something on

00:28:20.600 the checklist

00:28:21.260 from a

00:28:23.380 bigger

00:28:23.560 checklist that

00:28:24.300 might be

00:28:24.640 called critical

00:28:25.260 race theory

00:28:25.880 and adjacent

00:28:26.900 ideas,

00:28:27.980 but just

00:28:28.600 give us the

00:28:29.100 detail.

00:28:29.840 What is the

00:28:30.400 exact claim

00:28:31.500 that you

00:28:31.900 object to?

00:28:33.520 What is

00:28:34.020 the frame

00:28:34.660 stated in

00:28:35.960 one sentence

00:28:36.700 or two

00:28:37.200 that you

00:28:38.300 like or

00:28:39.440 you object

00:28:39.980 to?

00:28:40.600 If you

00:28:41.120 can't break

00:28:42.360 it down to

00:28:42.980 a list of

00:28:44.400 bullet points

00:28:45.060 that you

00:28:46.060 like and

00:28:46.520 don't like,

00:28:47.920 what are we

00:28:48.920 talking about?

00:28:49.960 We're not

00:28:50.340 even on the

00:28:50.860 same freaking

00:28:51.340 conversation.

00:28:52.880 So if you

00:28:53.600 don't see

00:28:54.060 that,

00:28:55.440 you're not

00:28:56.040 going to see

00:28:56.380 any journalists

00:28:57.540 who are even

00:28:59.080 serious about

00:28:59.900 this topic.

00:29:01.260 Maybe it's

00:29:01.800 not the

00:29:02.140 government

00:29:02.460 who does

00:29:02.900 it,

00:29:03.100 but maybe

00:29:03.480 there should

00:29:04.060 be a

00:29:04.360 journalist

00:29:04.800 who just

00:29:05.900 says,

00:29:06.320 look,

00:29:06.940 here are

00:29:07.320 all the

00:29:07.600 claims that

00:29:08.180 are within

00:29:09.380 critical race

00:29:10.260 theory,

00:29:10.880 plus a few

00:29:11.600 that are

00:29:11.940 sort of

00:29:12.240 floating around

00:29:13.000 the domain,

00:29:14.960 want to be

00:29:15.400 complete,

00:29:16.220 and just put

00:29:17.120 them out

00:29:17.380 there.

00:29:18.720 Now,

00:29:19.400 I suppose

00:29:20.040 somebody would

00:29:20.620 argue that

00:29:21.240 that would

00:29:21.540 lose its

00:29:22.160 context,

00:29:23.440 but probably

00:29:24.820 that's going

00:29:25.620 to happen

00:29:25.900 anyway.

00:29:26.380 If you're

00:29:26.660 just taking

00:29:27.140 three or five

00:29:27.920 things out of

00:29:28.440 the list,

00:29:29.340 you've lost

00:29:29.920 the context

00:29:30.500 right there.

00:29:35.860 Yes.

00:29:36.700 All right.

00:29:39.100 So,

00:29:40.200 are you

00:29:41.520 following this

00:29:42.180 General Milley

00:29:43.280 situation?

00:29:44.460 Glenn Greenwald

00:29:44.980 has a great

00:29:45.600 sub-stack on

00:29:46.460 it.

00:29:46.600 I tweeted

00:29:46.980 it.

00:29:47.740 Again,

00:29:48.160 you should

00:29:48.440 follow Glenn

00:29:49.360 Greenwald.

00:29:50.960 You really

00:29:51.700 should.

00:29:53.040 Like,

00:29:53.300 it's just

00:29:53.740 one of the

00:29:54.120 best,

00:29:55.280 consistently

00:29:56.100 best journalists

00:29:57.240 and tweeters

00:29:58.040 in the

00:29:58.740 world.

00:30:00.160 I would

00:30:00.740 add to

00:30:01.140 him

00:30:01.460 Joel

00:30:02.200 Pollack.

00:30:03.040 People

00:30:03.340 you should

00:30:03.740 definitely

00:30:04.180 follow.

00:30:05.660 Joel

00:30:06.100 Pollack

00:30:06.840 with

00:30:09.060 Breitbart.

00:30:09.860 You can

00:30:10.080 find him

00:30:10.460 pretty easily.

00:30:11.700 You should

00:30:12.000 follow him.

00:30:13.540 And Matt

00:30:15.460 Taibbi,

00:30:16.080 I'd say,

00:30:16.560 follow him.

00:30:19.480 And probably

00:30:20.260 a few others

00:30:20.800 I'll add to

00:30:21.560 the list

00:30:21.860 as we go.

00:30:22.820 And the

00:30:23.160 reason that I

00:30:23.620 add these

00:30:24.000 specific people

00:30:25.180 is that it's

00:30:25.980 people who

00:30:26.480 are at least

00:30:26.900 capable of

00:30:28.540 seeing the

00:30:28.980 whole field.

00:30:30.560 If you're

00:30:32.600 following people

00:30:33.260 who are only

00:30:33.680 seeing half

00:30:34.260 the field,

00:30:35.320 you're going

00:30:36.340 to be

00:30:36.540 misled all 1.00

00:30:37.220 the time.

00:30:38.780 All right,

00:30:39.080 so here's

00:30:39.520 the problem

00:30:39.860 with General

00:30:40.680 Milley,

00:30:41.280 head of the

00:30:41.900 Joint Chiefs.

00:30:43.360 So he's the

00:30:43.900 top U.S.

00:30:44.700 military guy,

00:30:45.700 right,

00:30:46.620 who actually

00:30:47.600 is in the

00:30:48.020 military.

00:30:48.740 He's the

00:30:49.080 top.

00:30:50.060 And here's

00:30:50.960 something he

00:30:51.420 said.

00:30:51.760 This is

00:30:52.040 actually a

00:30:52.600 quote from

00:30:53.100 him at

00:30:53.680 whatever

00:30:54.080 recent

00:30:54.520 congressional

00:30:55.180 conversation

00:30:56.840 was happening.

00:30:57.980 And he

00:30:58.220 said,

00:30:58.760 what is it

00:30:59.260 that caused 0.77

00:30:59.880 thousands of

00:31:00.780 people to

00:31:01.300 assault this

00:31:02.200 building and

00:31:03.580 try to

00:31:04.080 overturn the

00:31:04.860 Constitution of

00:31:05.840 the United

00:31:06.200 States of

00:31:06.760 America?

00:31:07.720 What caused

00:31:08.540 that?

00:31:09.280 I want to

00:31:09.820 find that

00:31:10.260 out.

00:31:10.940 I want to

00:31:11.500 maintain an

00:31:12.100 open mind

00:31:12.600 here, and I

00:31:13.520 do want to

00:31:14.060 analyze it.

00:31:15.900 So Milley

00:31:16.760 has stated as

00:31:17.640 a fact that

00:31:19.360 the building

00:31:19.920 was assaulted

00:31:21.720 with the

00:31:23.160 intention of

00:31:23.920 overturning the

00:31:24.760 Constitution of

00:31:25.700 the United

00:31:26.080 States.

00:31:28.000 That's what

00:31:28.800 the top

00:31:29.300 military

00:31:31.060 commander of

00:31:33.240 the United

00:31:33.660 States, the

00:31:35.380 military

00:31:35.880 commander,

00:31:37.140 believes that

00:31:37.880 there was an

00:31:38.380 assault to

00:31:39.460 overturn the

00:31:40.200 Constitution of

00:31:41.300 the United

00:31:41.720 States.

00:31:44.640 My friends,

00:31:46.580 that never

00:31:47.200 happened.

00:31:48.720 There definitely

00:31:49.380 was a

00:31:50.700 protest, an

00:31:51.480 assault, there

00:31:52.160 were definitely

00:31:52.540 crimes that

00:31:53.220 happened, but

00:31:54.540 nobody there

00:31:55.640 was trying to

00:31:56.460 overturn the

00:31:57.360 Constitution.

00:31:59.140 Indeed, every

00:32:00.480 person there

00:32:01.320 was trying to

00:32:02.560 affirm the

00:32:04.000 Constitution as

00:32:06.260 they saw it.

00:32:07.500 Now, obviously,

00:32:08.360 there are

00:32:08.560 different opinions

00:32:09.280 about how to

00:32:11.180 interpret the

00:32:12.280 Constitution.

00:32:13.580 Were the

00:32:14.280 protesters

00:32:14.820 believing that

00:32:15.800 they were

00:32:16.140 within the

00:32:16.940 Constitution by

00:32:18.040 asking, let's

00:32:18.660 say, Pence to

00:32:19.880 pause things or

00:32:20.860 asking for a

00:32:22.140 fair election in

00:32:24.720 their opinion,

00:32:25.820 asking for

00:32:26.360 audits maybe.

00:32:28.440 What part of

00:32:29.100 that is

00:32:29.400 overthrowing a

00:32:30.180 Constitution?

00:32:31.640 If your top

00:32:32.760 military general

00:32:34.360 believes there

00:32:35.660 was an

00:32:36.020 imaginary, an

00:32:37.340 assault on the

00:32:38.100 Constitution,

00:32:39.560 effectively an

00:32:40.340 insurrection, if

00:32:41.760 he believes that

00:32:42.480 happened, he

00:32:43.020 needs to be out

00:32:44.220 of that job.

00:32:45.440 You can't have

00:32:46.300 your top military

00:32:47.200 guy, hallucinating

00:32:49.040 an attack on

00:32:49.960 the United

00:32:50.420 States.

00:32:51.640 Let me ask

00:32:52.380 you, is there

00:32:53.240 anything that

00:32:54.120 would be more

00:32:54.720 disqualifying than

00:32:56.960 having your top

00:32:57.780 military commander

00:32:58.980 hallucinate an

00:33:01.800 attack on the

00:33:02.760 United States and

00:33:03.680 believe it

00:33:04.100 happened, when in

00:33:05.360 fact the evidence

00:33:06.320 clearly shows it

00:33:07.200 did not?

00:33:08.480 Nothing could be

00:33:09.500 more dangerous than

00:33:11.100 your top military

00:33:12.220 commander clearly

00:33:14.360 hallucinating,

00:33:15.660 clearly.

00:33:16.720 In his own

00:33:17.500 words, he

00:33:18.320 described in his

00:33:19.240 own words a

00:33:19.840 hallucination that

00:33:21.100 he's having now.

00:33:22.980 He didn't say I

00:33:24.160 used to have a

00:33:24.840 hallucination.

00:33:26.180 He says this is

00:33:27.140 my current opinion

00:33:28.260 that somebody

00:33:29.480 attacked the

00:33:30.140 United States to

00:33:30.960 overturn the

00:33:32.000 Constitution.

00:33:33.800 And that is so

00:33:34.680 clearly something

00:33:35.500 that didn't

00:33:35.960 happen.

00:33:37.360 You've got to

00:33:37.980 get rid of that

00:33:38.560 guy.

00:33:39.140 He should be

00:33:39.520 gone by the

00:33:39.980 end of the

00:33:40.320 day.

00:33:41.280 Biden should

00:33:41.900 fire his

00:33:42.560 fucking ass 0.96

00:33:43.320 immediately.

00:33:45.340 Now, of

00:33:45.760 course, we

00:33:46.140 don't think

00:33:46.500 Biden's really

00:33:47.100 in charge, so

00:33:48.300 nothing like

00:33:48.740 that's going to

00:33:49.200 happen.

00:33:51.040 But this is

00:33:51.860 shocking.

00:33:52.680 I don't know

00:33:53.480 if I can think

00:33:54.380 of a more

00:33:55.220 disqualifying thing

00:33:56.540 for a military

00:33:57.260 officer.

00:33:58.080 And I'm very

00:33:58.880 pro-military,

00:34:00.080 right?

00:34:00.720 If I've never

00:34:02.320 said it out

00:34:03.020 loud, I'm very

00:34:04.520 pro-military.

00:34:05.560 It's one of the

00:34:06.160 best things about

00:34:06.920 this country, is

00:34:08.180 that the military

00:34:08.920 is free of

00:34:10.480 politics.

00:34:12.080 Usually,

00:34:12.600 usually, but

00:34:15.540 this is not

00:34:16.080 free of

00:34:16.500 politics.

00:34:17.380 It's either

00:34:17.740 mental health or

00:34:19.080 it's politics, and

00:34:20.400 either way, it's

00:34:21.260 completely disqualifying

00:34:22.680 and you need to

00:34:23.600 replace them

00:34:24.260 immediately.

00:34:24.880 This is a

00:34:25.420 firing offense,

00:34:26.420 like immediately.

00:34:29.120 So, but for

00:34:31.320 political reasons,

00:34:32.200 none of that's

00:34:32.720 going to happen.

00:34:33.660 All right, here's

00:34:33.980 some maybe fake

00:34:34.860 news on fake

00:34:35.640 news.

00:34:36.260 This is fake

00:34:37.040 news squared.

00:34:37.720 So this is

00:34:38.840 somebody calling

00:34:39.580 out fake

00:34:40.560 news that

00:34:42.360 actually is

00:34:42.900 real news.

00:34:43.840 So it's the

00:34:44.700 calling out of

00:34:45.440 the fake news

00:34:46.160 that's real

00:34:46.620 news that's

00:34:47.140 fake news.

00:34:47.800 Got it?

00:34:48.260 It goes like

00:34:48.680 this.

00:34:50.380 You're all

00:34:50.980 aware that

00:34:51.420 there's a

00:34:51.940 surge in

00:34:52.940 shoplifting in

00:34:54.100 San Francisco.

00:34:55.620 In fact, many

00:34:56.380 of you saw a

00:34:57.020 viral video of

00:34:58.620 some young man

00:34:59.660 stuffing a big

00:35:00.540 bag full of

00:35:01.320 stuff from a

00:35:01.880 store on his

00:35:02.500 bicycle and

00:35:03.520 then riding his

00:35:04.160 bicycle out of

00:35:04.880 the store with

00:35:05.420 his big bag of

00:35:06.380 goodies and

00:35:06.960 nobody stops

00:35:07.660 them because

00:35:08.660 they're not

00:35:09.040 really going

00:35:09.680 after shoplifters

00:35:10.600 anymore.

00:35:11.780 But this

00:35:12.560 fact-checking

00:35:13.460 article suggests

00:35:15.040 that it's in

00:35:16.840 the Chronicle,

00:35:17.940 San Francisco

00:35:18.420 Chronicle,

00:35:19.540 suggests that

00:35:20.320 maybe that's

00:35:21.220 not really what's

00:35:22.720 happening.

00:35:23.080 Maybe the

00:35:24.140 shoplifting rate

00:35:26.140 has been falling

00:35:27.000 for decades and

00:35:28.880 that it's at one

00:35:29.780 of the lowest

00:35:30.260 levels right now.

00:35:32.320 But there's one

00:35:33.640 little sentence in

00:35:34.560 there that sort

00:35:36.100 raises a hypothesis

00:35:37.540 that maybe the

00:35:39.760 stores are not

00:35:40.620 reporting all of

00:35:42.500 the shoplifting

00:35:43.220 lately because

00:35:45.140 why would stores

00:35:47.200 stop reporting

00:35:48.700 shoplifting?

00:35:50.780 Why would that

00:35:51.820 happen?

00:35:53.000 Could it be that

00:35:54.580 nothing can come

00:35:55.480 from it?

00:35:56.680 Could it be that

00:35:57.660 if they report the

00:35:58.580 shoplifting, they 1.00

00:35:59.500 lose an hour of

00:36:00.420 their time and

00:36:01.880 gain back nothing?

00:36:03.820 Because they're

00:36:05.000 not going to

00:36:05.400 file an insurance

00:36:06.640 report for

00:36:07.900 somebody who

00:36:08.500 stole some

00:36:09.000 condoms, right?

00:36:11.380 I'd like to

00:36:12.180 file this

00:36:12.780 insurance.

00:36:14.000 We got robbed.

00:36:15.040 A teenager took

00:36:16.000 a pack of

00:36:16.520 condoms.

00:36:18.800 There's nothing

00:36:19.480 you can do about

00:36:20.160 it.

00:36:20.420 If you can't

00:36:20.980 arrest the

00:36:21.580 perpetrator, what

00:36:23.060 the hell is the

00:36:23.640 point?

00:36:24.400 So here's

00:36:24.900 somebody who

00:36:25.320 writes an

00:36:27.120 article suggesting

00:36:28.140 that the rate of

00:36:29.700 shoplifting is not

00:36:31.040 really that much

00:36:31.760 worse.

00:36:32.100 It's a little

00:36:32.560 bit worse than

00:36:33.080 the chains,

00:36:33.680 they admit, but

00:36:34.800 not that much

00:36:35.400 worse.

00:36:37.800 Why would

00:36:38.460 anybody keep

00:36:39.320 reporting the

00:36:40.340 shoplifting when

00:36:41.200 there's nothing

00:36:42.520 that will happen

00:36:43.100 from it?

00:36:44.020 Nothing.

00:36:45.540 So do I always

00:36:47.640 tell you that the

00:36:48.760 thing Democrats get

00:36:49.820 wrong, or let's

00:36:50.900 say left-leaning

00:36:51.660 people get wrong,

00:36:52.860 is they forget

00:36:53.820 human motivation.

00:36:56.380 They forget human

00:36:57.600 motivation in all

00:36:58.700 of their analyses.

00:36:59.940 What would be the

00:37:00.780 human motivation

00:37:01.740 of the store

00:37:03.240 manager once you

00:37:05.000 tell the store

00:37:05.580 manager, well, you

00:37:06.400 can report it all

00:37:07.180 you like, but it

00:37:07.940 won't make any

00:37:08.460 difference.

00:37:09.560 The store manager

00:37:10.340 has no incentive.

00:37:12.520 No incentive.

00:37:14.020 Now, they might

00:37:14.640 record the theft

00:37:15.740 sort of internally

00:37:16.940 because they've got

00:37:17.520 to report to their

00:37:18.360 superiors where

00:37:19.740 did all the money

00:37:20.480 go, but I don't

00:37:22.480 think they have any

00:37:23.040 reason to tell the

00:37:23.780 police.

00:37:24.360 The police took that

00:37:25.120 reason away, and

00:37:26.380 here's somebody

00:37:26.880 writing a whole

00:37:27.500 article in which

00:37:28.360 that should have

00:37:28.960 been the main

00:37:29.460 point.

00:37:30.520 The main point

00:37:31.280 should be, well,

00:37:32.020 we're not tracking

00:37:33.000 it anymore because

00:37:33.820 there wouldn't be

00:37:34.300 any point to it.

00:37:36.600 Derek Chauvin got

00:37:37.700 sentenced to 22.5

00:37:39.740 years, of which he

00:37:40.880 will serve only 15

00:37:42.740 if he has good

00:37:43.380 behavior, and CNN

00:37:47.080 analysts say that's

00:37:48.740 very light.

00:37:52.060 How do you measure

00:37:53.620 that?

00:37:55.300 So is that light?

00:37:56.400 there are other

00:37:58.760 people who get

00:37:59.360 longer sentences,

00:38:00.880 right?

00:38:02.160 And I guess he'd

00:38:03.020 be out at age 60

00:38:04.180 if he only served

00:38:05.400 the 15.

00:38:06.700 But here's the

00:38:07.540 question.

00:38:08.820 Do we punish

00:38:09.820 people more than

00:38:10.780 that if you can't

00:38:12.160 tell if the act

00:38:12.840 was deliberate?

00:38:14.800 Now, there is

00:38:15.900 evidence that

00:38:16.740 Chauvin should have

00:38:17.820 acted differently,

00:38:19.000 and therefore he

00:38:19.840 has some

00:38:20.300 responsibility.

00:38:22.360 And so even if

00:38:23.980 you accept that he's

00:38:24.900 responsible for it,

00:38:26.940 nobody has

00:38:27.780 demonstrated that it

00:38:29.740 was a deliberate

00:38:30.420 act of murder.

00:38:32.260 Whoever got more

00:38:33.400 than 15 years for

00:38:34.860 a crime they didn't

00:38:35.660 know they were

00:38:36.080 committing?

00:38:36.700 Can you give me

00:38:37.220 any example of

00:38:38.120 that?

00:38:38.980 Can anybody give

00:38:39.960 me an example of

00:38:41.700 somebody who got

00:38:42.340 more than 15 years

00:38:43.640 in prison for a

00:38:45.340 crime that they

00:38:46.060 weren't sure they

00:38:46.820 were committing at

00:38:47.600 the time?

00:38:49.000 Even one example

00:38:49.920 of that.

00:38:51.140 Because if that's

00:38:53.740 the argument,

00:38:54.440 let's say a

00:38:55.640 black defendant

00:38:56.780 would have gotten

00:38:57.420 more years,

00:38:59.040 are people saying

00:39:00.700 that?

00:39:04.660 Now, here's my

00:39:05.560 most provocative

00:39:06.300 question for you.

00:39:07.900 You ready for this?

00:39:09.400 We're all adults

00:39:10.240 here, right?

00:39:11.400 So I can ask you a

00:39:12.400 provocative question,

00:39:13.860 and you can keep it

00:39:14.700 in context.

00:39:15.300 If all of the

00:39:17.660 ethnicities in the

00:39:18.900 George Floyd,

00:39:20.080 Derek Chauvin

00:39:21.180 situation, if all

00:39:23.000 of the ethnicities

00:39:24.860 had been reversed,

00:39:27.020 would it be the

00:39:28.360 same outcome?

00:39:29.660 If Derek Chauvin

00:39:30.820 had been black,

00:39:33.820 and if, well,

00:39:36.780 let's even reverse

00:39:38.700 the people.

00:39:39.660 Let's just say it's

00:39:40.420 the people were

00:39:41.040 reversed.

00:39:41.660 Let's say that

00:39:42.300 George Floyd was

00:39:43.080 the police officer,

00:39:43.840 and was just a

00:39:45.860 regular police

00:39:47.580 officer, and

00:39:48.620 Derek Chauvin was

00:39:49.540 the person who

00:39:50.300 was on the

00:39:50.760 ground, and

00:39:52.220 Derek Chauvin

00:39:52.840 dies in exactly

00:39:54.260 the same way

00:39:54.980 that George

00:39:57.600 Floyd died,

00:39:58.860 would you have

00:40:00.040 the same result?

00:40:02.600 Yeah, I'm

00:40:03.020 seeing an LOL

00:40:03.740 there.

00:40:04.620 Nobody believes

00:40:05.220 it would be the

00:40:05.700 same outcome.

00:40:07.000 I don't think

00:40:07.740 so.

00:40:08.500 Because the jury

00:40:09.820 didn't really have

00:40:10.480 a choice, did

00:40:11.500 they?

00:40:11.680 I think the

00:40:13.020 jury pretty much

00:40:14.120 had to do what

00:40:14.660 they did.

00:40:16.660 Legal system

00:40:18.180 notwithstanding,

00:40:20.740 they just sort of

00:40:21.460 had to come up

00:40:22.060 with the thing

00:40:22.520 they came up

00:40:23.060 with.

00:40:23.660 But if you

00:40:24.140 reversed all of

00:40:25.100 the ethnicities,

00:40:26.460 I doubt it would

00:40:27.940 be the same

00:40:28.380 outcome.

00:40:29.700 And I wonder if

00:40:30.300 there's any way

00:40:30.700 to test that.

00:40:32.460 Could you

00:40:33.080 someday, let's

00:40:34.260 say that this

00:40:34.800 trial fades in

00:40:36.000 memory a little

00:40:36.520 bit, so you

00:40:37.000 could find people

00:40:37.640 who weren't

00:40:37.980 aware of it.

00:40:39.280 Let's say it's a 0.93

00:40:40.040 few years later

00:40:40.700 and you take

00:40:41.140 college kids.

00:40:42.580 And you give

00:40:43.160 them individually

00:40:44.080 one group of

00:40:46.220 college kids who

00:40:47.120 didn't know much

00:40:47.700 about the

00:40:48.060 original trial.

00:40:49.240 You say,

00:40:49.720 all right, here's

00:40:50.120 the situation.

00:40:51.720 How much jail

00:40:53.100 time should the

00:40:53.780 person get?

00:40:54.620 Then you give a

00:40:55.340 second set who

00:40:56.240 also were

00:40:56.880 unfamiliar with

00:40:57.700 the original

00:40:58.120 news, and you

00:40:59.400 just reverse the

00:41:00.160 ethnicities, and

00:41:02.000 then say, all

00:41:02.540 right, what's the

00:41:04.040 penalty for this?

00:41:05.420 Would you get

00:41:05.880 the same number?

00:41:07.540 I'll bet not.

00:41:08.300 I'll bet not, and

00:41:10.260 it seems like

00:41:11.020 something you

00:41:11.520 could test.

00:41:12.940 Maybe someday

00:41:13.620 we'll know about

00:41:14.240 that.

00:41:15.860 So Arizona was

00:41:17.660 very close, the

00:41:19.640 Arizona House.

00:41:21.020 They came really

00:41:21.980 close to passing

00:41:22.740 an amendment to a

00:41:23.640 budget bill that

00:41:24.180 would have funded

00:41:24.780 students instead of

00:41:26.480 the school system,

00:41:28.160 meaning that it

00:41:28.980 would have given

00:41:29.460 kids more freedom

00:41:31.140 of choice because

00:41:32.440 they could take

00:41:32.960 their funding to

00:41:33.820 a different private

00:41:35.340 school, et cetera,

00:41:36.400 an alternative

00:41:36.960 school.

00:41:37.360 But that failed,

00:41:38.840 even though the

00:41:39.300 vote was 28 to

00:41:40.120 28, because three

00:41:43.100 Republicans, Udall,

00:41:45.140 John, and Osborne,

00:41:46.920 joined the Democrats

00:41:47.960 in voting against

00:41:48.740 it.

00:41:49.860 Now, here's my

00:41:51.060 take on this.

00:41:52.400 Given that Black 1.00

00:41:54.700 Lives Matter also

00:41:55.780 likes school choice

00:41:57.160 for the most part,

00:41:58.520 at least, let's say

00:41:59.160 members of it, I

00:42:00.220 don't know what the

00:42:00.880 leadership says, but

00:42:03.080 certainly plenty and

00:42:04.620 plenty of black

00:42:05.600 Americans want school

00:42:07.180 choice.

00:42:08.140 So here was a

00:42:09.060 topic that

00:42:10.260 Republicans

00:42:11.000 overwhelmingly wanted,

00:42:12.960 and I believe if you

00:42:14.480 do a survey of

00:42:15.720 black Americans, they

00:42:16.820 want it by a 0.80

00:42:17.460 majority, too.

00:42:19.060 And even members of

00:42:21.300 Black Lives Matter, or

00:42:22.640 just supporters, I

00:42:24.180 think if you did a

00:42:25.720 poll of them, you

00:42:27.860 would find that even

00:42:28.520 they want more school

00:42:29.700 choice.

00:42:30.640 Right?

00:42:31.040 So here was an

00:42:32.740 issue that if Black

00:42:34.040 Lives Matter had put

00:42:35.120 their weight behind

00:42:36.180 it, it would have

00:42:37.980 gone through.

00:42:39.100 Because do you think

00:42:40.060 that these three

00:42:40.800 Republicans could have

00:42:41.900 said no to it if you

00:42:43.480 had all the other

00:42:44.380 Republicans and Black

00:42:46.840 Lives Matter supporting

00:42:47.900 it?

00:42:49.720 Really?

00:42:50.560 Do you think this

00:42:51.500 wouldn't have passed if

00:42:52.920 Black Lives Matter had 0.71

00:42:53.940 thrown in with the

00:42:54.700 Republicans and said,

00:42:55.560 yeah, we got plenty to

00:42:57.020 fight about, but not

00:42:58.460 this, this is the one

00:43:00.080 thing we completely

00:43:00.900 agree on, and by the

00:43:02.320 way, the bad school

00:43:03.980 system is the number

00:43:04.960 one source of systemic

00:43:06.200 racism.

00:43:07.400 So let's deal with the

00:43:08.980 biggest problem.

00:43:10.100 Well, the fact that

00:43:10.760 Black Lives Matter did

00:43:11.800 not support this, or I

00:43:13.840 think any other push

00:43:14.920 like it, shows that

00:43:16.480 they're not a legitimate

00:43:17.460 movement.

00:43:18.900 If they were legitimate,

00:43:21.340 they would be doing the

00:43:22.820 top priority thing, which

00:43:24.360 is fixing education,

00:43:26.240 definitely the top

00:43:27.100 priority for black

00:43:28.380 Americans, and they

00:43:29.920 would join with the

00:43:32.980 side that's on the

00:43:33.720 same side, the

00:43:34.620 Republicans.

00:43:36.640 But the fact that they

00:43:37.700 don't do this easy

00:43:39.060 thing that is clearly

00:43:41.200 in their self-interest,

00:43:42.200 even by their own

00:43:42.980 opinions, not just my

00:43:44.120 opinion, their own

00:43:45.300 opinion would be that

00:43:46.180 this would be in their

00:43:46.920 best interest.

00:43:47.980 They don't even do

00:43:48.720 that.

00:43:49.940 But that tells you

00:43:50.860 that whatever Black 0.85

00:43:52.000 Lives Matter, the

00:43:52.800 organization, is

00:43:54.500 about, it's not

00:43:56.660 Black Lives Matter,

00:43:58.380 it's about something.

00:43:59.980 It's about continuing

00:44:01.360 their power, or it's a

00:44:03.320 grievance, or it's

00:44:04.180 revenge, or it's some

00:44:05.460 of all those things.

00:44:06.540 But whatever it is, it's

00:44:08.300 not a legitimate

00:44:09.060 movement to help

00:44:11.180 black Americans.

00:44:12.880 A legitimate movement

00:44:14.120 would have joined the

00:44:15.480 Republicans, pushed this

00:44:17.360 through, and had one of

00:44:20.020 the biggest wins you

00:44:22.760 could even imagine.

00:44:23.500 This would be a huge

00:44:24.640 win to take some of the

00:44:27.360 power away from the

00:44:28.080 teachers' unions.

00:44:30.340 Well, Big Tech has

00:44:31.480 lost Bill Maher, who

00:44:33.620 noticed that Facebook

00:44:34.580 was blocking posts

00:44:36.360 about the Wuhan lab as

00:44:37.860 a source of the virus

00:44:38.800 for a long time.

00:44:40.200 They're not now, I

00:44:40.840 guess.

00:44:42.160 And then he also

00:44:43.500 noted how YouTube was

00:44:45.220 removing Brett

00:44:45.900 Weinstein's podcast about

00:44:48.500 ivermectin.

00:44:49.180 And when you see the

00:44:51.780 people who are capable

00:44:54.340 of seeing both sides of

00:44:55.600 an argument, and Bill

00:44:56.680 Maher would be one of

00:44:57.460 them, I often disagree

00:44:59.160 with him, but you can't

00:45:01.220 question the fact that

00:45:03.160 he's capable of seeing

00:45:04.400 both sides of an

00:45:05.140 argument.

00:45:05.600 He demonstrates it all

00:45:06.480 the time.

00:45:07.500 And if you're losing the

00:45:08.600 people who are capable of

00:45:09.840 seeing both sides, you're

00:45:13.900 in real trouble.

00:45:14.580 And I think the tech

00:45:16.240 companies are going to

00:45:18.660 come under some

00:45:19.560 scrutiny like never

00:45:21.520 before.

00:45:22.820 Because now there's so

00:45:24.140 many examples of

00:45:25.900 things that went

00:45:26.820 wrong.

00:45:28.140 It's a, this is

00:45:29.880 tough.

00:45:31.040 Now, you have to ask

00:45:34.280 yourself, if it's a

00:45:35.660 pandemic and it's an

00:45:36.820 emergency, et cetera.

00:45:43.740 So I don't know

00:45:44.720 exactly who's sending me

00:45:46.000 these messages, but

00:45:46.940 apparently you're

00:45:47.900 watching the, uh, the

00:45:50.460 broadcast at the

00:45:52.520 moment.

00:45:53.620 I'll say, who are you

00:45:54.960 before I block it?

00:46:01.540 All right.

00:46:03.380 That is all I have for

00:46:04.820 today.

00:46:05.860 Um, is my sound better

00:46:08.620 than normal?

00:46:09.800 Is the sound of volume

00:46:11.620 and quality better than

00:46:12.780 my normal sound quality?

00:46:14.700 Can you give me, uh, give

00:46:17.260 me a opinion on that

00:46:18.500 before I go?

00:46:20.160 Um, yes, it's great.

00:46:22.980 Okay.

00:46:23.300 It's a little better.

00:46:24.800 So I've got a few more

00:46:26.100 things I'm going to try.

00:46:27.100 So it won't always sound

00:46:28.520 like this.

00:46:29.260 I've got, uh, at least two

00:46:30.480 more devices to try and

00:46:32.620 maybe another, um, another

00:46:35.200 microphone.

00:46:36.320 I'll compare this to my

00:46:38.060 prior broadcast and maybe

00:46:39.660 if anybody feels like doing

00:46:41.320 that, please do.

00:46:44.340 All right.

00:46:44.960 The volume is better.

00:46:45.920 Yeah.

00:46:46.120 I think the sound volume is

00:46:47.500 the main thing we were

00:46:48.160 trying to fix because that

00:46:49.300 was the biggest complaint.

00:46:51.440 Uh, all right.

00:46:54.500 And that's all for now.

00:46:55.600 Talk to you tomorrow.

00:46:56.320 Okay.
