Transcript

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
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
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,
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,
00:14:52.020 Pilkington,
00:14:53.180 P-I-L-K-I-N-G-T-O-N.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
