Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody.
00:00:05.060 All of you YouTubers, I've already been talking to the people on Locals, and man, are you
00:00:12.320 in for a good coffee with Scott Adams today.
00:00:16.360 One of the very best, I dare say, and I haven't even done it yet, that's how confident I am
00:00:21.480 that this will be terrific.
00:00:23.600 And the only thing that could make it better, really the only thing I can think of, nothing
00:00:29.500 else could make this better, except a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chelsea, a
00:00:34.120 canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind, which you would probably fill with your favorite
00:00:39.980 liquid, if you're thinking ahead.
00:00:43.220 I like coffee.
00:00:44.940 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that
00:00:49.940 makes everything better.
00:00:50.640 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen now.
00:00:54.280 Go.
00:00:54.500 Oh, so good.
00:01:06.820 Now, let's talk about some of the news.
00:01:11.360 Rasmussen did a poll and asked likely voters, asked the likely voters, who deserves more credit
00:01:22.160 for the COVID-19 vaccinations?
00:01:25.540 Surprisingly, it did not go the way that you would think it would go.
00:01:31.400 Because wouldn't you expect that that question would go purely along political lines?
00:01:36.760 Who did better on the COVID vaccination, Trump or Biden?
00:01:40.960 You'd expect that to be on straight party lines, wouldn't you?
00:01:44.140 You know, any Biden versus Trump question.
00:01:46.080 But no, Trump got 51%, as should get more credit, and Biden only 41%, which is pretty substantial.
00:01:56.640 Pretty substantial.
00:01:58.500 But here's the interesting part about this.
00:02:01.680 In the age group of 40 to 64, and what makes the age group of 40 to 64 interesting?
00:02:09.140 What's interesting about them is that they're the experienced workers.
00:02:16.560 People who have experience in life are between 40 and 64, and they've just got a little bit
00:02:22.020 more vision about what, you know, how things work.
00:02:26.220 And I think that that group had 58% said Trump.
00:02:29.820 So the people who have the most experience in life, you know, before they become senior citizens,
00:02:37.320 58% of them gave more credit to Trump.
00:02:41.020 Now, here's why.
00:02:43.200 Compare these two tasks.
00:02:46.220 Rolling out vaccinations so that everybody gets it and everybody is informed, and it's paid for.
00:02:52.740 So that's a big logistics issue, right?
00:02:56.100 How do you get all these vaccinations to different places, et cetera?
00:03:00.460 So that's what Biden is mostly doing.
00:03:03.320 Then compare that to getting government institutions to operate four years faster than normal.
00:03:12.460 Right?
00:03:13.660 These are not equal tasks.
00:03:16.200 The task of actually getting the vaccinations out to everybody probably was just a budget question,
00:03:22.380 because I don't think the president was personally coordinating the trucks.
00:03:26.800 You've got to get storage.
00:03:28.420 Do you have enough storage for these trucks?
00:03:30.960 No.
00:03:31.800 No.
00:03:32.140 All that stuff, the states were coordinating it.
00:03:34.860 You know, it was driven down to the lowest, presumably driven down to the lowest operators.
00:03:40.620 You know, the people who knew where the trucks were.
00:03:42.840 Where is my refrigeration?
00:03:45.040 You know, how do I get it there?
00:03:45.880 So I think the Biden stuff would have looked the same under every president.
00:03:50.720 Would you agree with that?
00:03:53.420 That the Biden's contribution to the vaccination rollout, which is impressive.
00:03:59.980 You know, I give him an A, rolling it out.
00:04:05.120 But I think any president would have gotten an A, because the president doesn't even do the work.
00:04:10.160 They just say, roll it out, and then stuff happens.
00:04:13.160 But how hard was it for Trump to get all of these institutions to operate faster?
00:04:18.860 That was bordering on magic.
00:04:22.740 And I'm surprised that there are so many people in the public who notice it.
00:04:27.080 But the real tell is that the working age people, the people with the most experience,
00:04:33.860 they recognize that what Trump did is far more of an accomplishment than what Biden did.
00:04:38.780 Even though what Biden will do is more energy, because, you know, the rollout is a bigger deal
00:04:43.320 than anything, but, yeah, I think Trump properly gets more credit for that.
00:04:52.000 I saw a tweet, which I agree with, from Ian Martisis, who says, and I quote,
00:05:00.140 due to the relatively rapid emergence of COVID variants, I'm just summarizing here.
00:05:09.580 So because there's so many variants popping up, all people will eventually be infected by the virus.
00:05:15.040 Do you agree with that?
00:05:16.620 Now that we know that being vaccinated won't stop you from getting the virus,
00:05:22.420 it just reduces the symptoms,
00:05:24.260 would you say it's true, given that we're now in our second season and this virus is not burning out?
00:05:32.240 It's actually getting stronger.
00:05:35.280 I hate to say it, but it's getting stronger.
00:05:39.320 Remember even the Spanish flu burned out in a year?
00:05:42.620 Or did it take two?
00:05:43.900 I can't remember the Spanish flu.
00:05:45.880 But I don't feel like this thing's burning out.
00:05:48.700 Now, it feels permanent, which also suggests it's engineered, of course.
00:05:54.640 But it feels like it's here to stay.
00:05:57.720 So when you make your decisions about how to handle your life from here on in,
00:06:04.340 do you assume you'll get it or assume that you won't?
00:06:08.820 Because I agree with this.
00:06:10.280 I think basically almost everybody's going to get it.
00:06:13.140 Maybe 85%, something like that.
00:06:15.140 So let's say you're going to make your decisions.
00:06:21.860 Here is your persuasion tip if you're the government.
00:06:27.980 You ready for this?
00:06:29.740 You're going to like this one.
00:06:32.720 There's somebody who says that they turn off the live stream
00:06:35.540 when I tease you about how good something's going to be before I say it.
00:06:41.360 But I do it anyway.
00:06:45.140 If I were going to advise the government how to get people vaccinated,
00:06:50.320 I would say this.
00:06:52.520 Probably if you have comorbidities, you've already gotten vaccinated.
00:06:58.020 Probably, right?
00:06:59.280 The people with comorbidities are far more vaccinated
00:07:01.820 because it just makes sense.
00:07:03.800 Their risk is different than everybody else's.
00:07:05.900 But how do you get somebody vaccinated who's under 40 and healthy?
00:07:12.980 That's the problem, right?
00:07:16.060 Because if you say to somebody who's under 40 and healthy,
00:07:20.120 hey, you get vaccinated, they'll usually say,
00:07:22.780 well, tell me what's the risk of the vaccination itself,
00:07:25.900 which is non-zero.
00:07:27.260 There's a risk.
00:07:28.680 And what's the risk of dying from COVID?
00:07:32.660 And they're going to say, I don't know,
00:07:35.020 but the risk of COVID is vanishingly small,
00:07:37.680 but I don't know enough about this vaccination.
00:07:39.700 So, you know, everybody's guessing
00:07:43.420 because you don't really know the odds of anything.
00:07:46.960 But a reasonable person could say, I'll wait it out.
00:07:52.200 Would you agree?
00:07:54.000 Would all of you agree that a reasonable, healthy young person
00:07:58.280 could make a reasonable decision
00:08:01.480 if the only thing they're looking at is the risk of death,
00:08:05.920 it would be reasonable not to take the vaccination?
00:08:08.200 Do I get banned for saying that?
00:08:11.160 But hold on, don't ban me yet.
00:08:13.160 There's a punchline coming.
00:08:14.820 Don't ban me.
00:08:16.140 Don't ban me.
00:08:17.000 I'm going to say something state approved in a moment here
00:08:19.560 and redeem myself.
00:08:21.820 It goes like this.
00:08:23.400 Suppose they change the branding for what the vaccine is.
00:08:27.900 Because right now, you think of it as a thing
00:08:29.900 that keeps you alive, right?
00:08:32.120 Right?
00:08:32.540 If the only thing the virus did was make you pretty sick,
00:08:37.640 we wouldn't be that worried about it.
00:08:39.920 You'd get plenty sick.
00:08:41.240 You'd get over it.
00:08:42.060 It would be just like when I was a kid.
00:08:43.740 We would just get chicken pox and just get over it.
00:08:47.720 But suppose you change the branding for people under 40
00:08:52.020 and you called the vaccination, wait for it, wait for it,
00:08:57.220 the treatment for, or the prevention for long-haul COVID.
00:09:03.380 And you don't even talk about the risk of death.
00:09:06.640 You know why?
00:09:07.940 Because if you're under 40, you think your risk of death
00:09:10.320 is so small that you don't even put it in your decision.
00:09:14.180 But if you're trying to persuade people to get vaccinated,
00:09:17.540 if they're healthy and, say, under 40, just to pick a number,
00:09:20.340 I would say, hey, would you like the vaccination
00:09:25.080 to prevent long-haul COVID?
00:09:28.120 Now, they might say, come on, how likely is it
00:09:32.260 that I'll get long-haul COVID?
00:09:34.720 Well, what are the chances?
00:09:36.560 So I looked that up before I got on here.
00:09:38.700 There's at least one study that says you have a 25% chance
00:09:42.160 of long-haul COVID.
00:09:44.980 Now, go back to the prior tweet.
00:09:47.780 Remember Ian Martisis?
00:09:50.340 He's telling us, in his view, this is just an opinion,
00:09:54.440 kind of speculative, that we'll all get infected.
00:09:58.900 Suppose that's true.
00:10:01.140 I think it's reasonable.
00:10:02.880 I don't know what the odds are that everybody will get infected,
00:10:05.340 but it looks like it.
00:10:07.100 I mean, if I had to guess,
00:10:08.200 I'd say 85% will be infected eventually.
00:10:11.320 But I don't know that for sure.
00:10:13.280 However, it's reasonable.
00:10:14.180 Now, suppose you had nearly 100% chance,
00:10:17.840 or 85% chance, let's say,
00:10:19.540 of getting infected
00:10:21.080 and a 25% chance of long-haul problems.
00:10:27.680 Would you take a vaccine
00:10:29.300 that was only to prevent the long-haul problems?
00:10:33.460 And that's all they sold it to you for.
00:10:35.480 It's like, hey, if you're over 40,
00:10:36.880 we've got a vaccination that will keep you from dying.
00:10:39.180 Because that's what you care about.
00:10:42.220 If you're under 40 and you're healthy,
00:10:44.080 no comorbidities,
00:10:45.920 we've got this vaccine
00:10:47.460 that will prevent you from getting long-haul COVID.
00:10:51.280 It's different, right?
00:10:53.220 Because every time I argue,
00:10:55.240 if not argue,
00:10:56.120 but any time I talk with somebody who's anti-vaccine,
00:10:59.400 they only talk about the risk of death.
00:11:01.380 So don't talk about that.
00:11:05.360 Talk about long-haul.
00:11:07.140 Do you want the long-haul vaccine or not?
00:11:10.420 That's what it is.
00:11:11.860 Because honestly,
00:11:12.720 the risk of death
00:11:13.440 from either the vaccination itself
00:11:15.300 or from COVID
00:11:16.980 is so low,
00:11:19.700 stop talking about it.
00:11:21.420 It just doesn't matter anymore
00:11:23.120 to decision-making.
00:11:24.880 It definitely matters if you die.
00:11:27.300 You know,
00:11:27.520 if your family member happens to be
00:11:29.020 one of the few people who die,
00:11:30.540 yeah, that matters, of course.
00:11:32.220 That's tragic.
00:11:33.360 But it doesn't matter to you and I
00:11:34.940 for our decision-making.
00:11:36.160 The risk is too small.
00:11:37.620 You don't make a decision
00:11:38.560 when you go to get bread
00:11:39.700 that you're going to die.
00:11:42.000 But you might, right?
00:11:44.220 You go to buy a loaf of bread,
00:11:46.000 you might die.
00:11:47.420 But you don't put it in your decision-making
00:11:49.720 because it's too small.
00:11:52.200 Now, here's another percentage
00:11:53.700 that I don't know the answer to.
00:11:56.060 Let's say it's true
00:11:57.040 that 25% of people
00:11:58.880 who get COVID
00:12:00.260 get some long-haul symptoms.
00:12:03.080 They seem to be
00:12:04.320 along the lines of inflammation,
00:12:06.560 don't they?
00:12:08.280 Is everything that
00:12:09.680 COVID long-haul does to you,
00:12:12.140 is it all under the umbrella
00:12:13.600 of inflammation?
00:12:15.200 Like inflamed organs
00:12:16.540 and inflamed brain?
00:12:19.400 And here's my question.
00:12:21.280 What do we know about the permanent,
00:12:23.820 the risk of permanent danger?
00:12:25.260 could we say that maybe
00:12:28.100 4%?
00:12:30.460 I'm just making this number up, right?
00:12:32.780 Could you say that 4%
00:12:34.280 of all the people
00:12:35.140 who get long-haul,
00:12:36.940 or maybe just 4%
00:12:39.020 of the people
00:12:39.600 who get COVID,
00:12:41.640 could get some kind of
00:12:42.600 permanent
00:12:43.140 restructuring of their organs
00:12:46.420 that might not be optimal?
00:12:49.720 I don't know.
00:12:51.300 I don't know.
00:12:52.160 But I'll tell you,
00:12:53.060 if it is that high,
00:12:54.900 I don't want to know about it.
00:12:56.240 All right,
00:12:56.540 changing the topic.
00:12:59.160 The founder of the 1619
00:13:00.800 project,
00:13:01.880 you probably all know her,
00:13:03.780 Nicole Hannah-Jones.
00:13:05.560 So she's getting criticized
00:13:06.840 because at some point
00:13:08.000 she had been asked
00:13:09.220 in an interview
00:13:09.800 what was the most,
00:13:11.580 I guess,
00:13:12.740 equal country.
00:13:14.260 A country where
00:13:14.980 there was the least racism,
00:13:16.420 I believe,
00:13:16.800 was the context.
00:13:18.620 And she answered
00:13:20.120 that it might be Cuba.
00:13:22.580 And noted that Cuba
00:13:23.680 does very well
00:13:24.840 in having a variety
00:13:26.340 of black and brown
00:13:27.660 and white people
00:13:28.380 and seems to handle
00:13:30.340 that diversity
00:13:31.680 better than other countries.
00:13:33.760 Now,
00:13:34.340 as you might expect,
00:13:36.540 people said,
00:13:37.320 you know,
00:13:37.700 that comes with
00:13:38.320 a big dose of socialism,
00:13:40.020 that comes with
00:13:40.880 a big dose
00:13:41.480 of you don't have
00:13:42.100 any food.
00:13:44.500 So there's a downside.
00:13:47.180 But are they related?
00:13:49.920 Are they related?
00:13:51.660 Is it the socialism
00:13:52.840 that's somehow
00:13:55.840 causing them
00:13:57.600 to have a good result?
00:14:00.420 Why would socialism
00:14:01.620 cause you to have
00:14:02.560 a better result
00:14:03.340 integrating people?
00:14:05.260 Is it because
00:14:06.200 there would be
00:14:06.580 no rich people?
00:14:08.580 Yeah,
00:14:08.860 everybody's equal
00:14:09.560 because we're in poverty,
00:14:10.640 right?
00:14:11.780 I feel like
00:14:12.540 that's what's going on.
00:14:15.100 That the way
00:14:15.900 you get equality
00:14:17.080 is by destroying
00:14:18.640 the economy
00:14:19.320 so that you don't
00:14:20.140 have rich people.
00:14:22.660 Yeah,
00:14:23.120 so she's getting
00:14:24.140 criticized for that,
00:14:26.600 maybe quite reasonably.
00:14:29.320 But here's my question.
00:14:31.280 Hold in your mind
00:14:32.460 an image
00:14:33.320 of Nicole Hannah-Jones,
00:14:36.100 the founder
00:14:36.660 of the 1619 Project.
00:14:38.320 And if there's
00:14:39.880 somebody on Locals
00:14:40.700 who wants to
00:14:41.260 paste in a photo
00:14:42.560 for the rest of you,
00:14:43.540 that would help.
00:14:44.740 Now,
00:14:45.020 I'm not going to
00:14:45.500 show it to you here
00:14:46.300 because then it gets
00:14:48.040 taken out of context
00:14:49.060 and blah, blah, blah.
00:14:51.040 And I don't believe
00:14:52.940 in making fun
00:14:54.620 of people's appearances
00:14:55.760 as a general rule.
00:14:57.680 But if somebody
00:15:00.340 makes a fashion choice,
00:15:03.060 I think you can
00:15:03.920 comment on that,
00:15:05.460 right?
00:15:06.340 So if somebody
00:15:06.980 just is not attractive,
00:15:08.460 I don't think that's,
00:15:09.740 you know,
00:15:10.240 that's not reasonable
00:15:11.680 to bring up in public.
00:15:13.240 No reason for it.
00:15:14.960 But suppose
00:15:15.480 somebody consciously
00:15:16.900 chooses a look
00:15:18.040 to present
00:15:19.520 something.
00:15:21.280 Let's say
00:15:21.920 Hillary Clinton
00:15:23.820 would wear her
00:15:24.740 pantsuits,
00:15:25.400 which I think
00:15:27.240 was actually
00:15:27.660 a pretty good choice
00:15:28.500 to make her look
00:15:29.420 professional, etc.
00:15:31.080 Could I comment
00:15:32.160 on Hillary Clinton's
00:15:34.900 pantsuit?
00:15:35.820 I think yes.
00:15:37.200 I think yes.
00:15:38.540 Could I comment
00:15:39.360 on Donald Trump's
00:15:40.880 haircut?
00:15:42.420 I say yes
00:15:43.220 because that's a choice.
00:15:45.000 He wasn't born
00:15:45.980 with a haircut.
00:15:47.480 It's a choice.
00:15:48.160 Likewise,
00:15:50.920 Project 1619 founder
00:15:53.040 Nicole Hannah-Jones
00:15:54.120 has made a fashion
00:15:55.960 choice to have,
00:15:57.540 okay,
00:15:58.160 on Locals
00:15:58.760 we're seeing
00:15:59.120 a picture of her,
00:16:00.800 to have red hair,
00:16:02.800 dyed red hair,
00:16:04.000 that sort of
00:16:05.740 tufts out
00:16:06.340 in two directions.
00:16:07.900 So rather than
00:16:08.620 being,
00:16:09.140 let's say,
00:16:09.600 fully rounded
00:16:10.320 like, say,
00:16:11.160 the head of a mushroom,
00:16:12.660 it's more
00:16:13.740 distributed
00:16:15.000 toward two directions.
00:16:16.780 Is it just me
00:16:19.200 or do you see
00:16:21.220 Bozo the Clown?
00:16:23.360 Now,
00:16:23.920 find a picture
00:16:24.600 of Bozo the Clown
00:16:25.580 and again,
00:16:27.680 I'm not trying
00:16:28.580 to be unkind.
00:16:29.880 We're talking
00:16:30.240 about persuasion.
00:16:31.860 I'm talking about
00:16:32.480 somebody who's
00:16:33.280 a public figure
00:16:34.080 who makes
00:16:35.220 conscious decisions
00:16:36.380 about her appearance
00:16:37.500 who has decided
00:16:39.260 to go with
00:16:40.880 a look
00:16:41.300 which,
00:16:42.720 to my mind,
00:16:44.600 suggests
00:16:45.240 Bozo the Clown.
00:16:47.360 Like,
00:16:47.620 that's the first
00:16:48.160 thing I think
00:16:48.660 of.
00:16:49.440 And I'm not
00:16:49.960 trying to be
00:16:50.960 unkind.
00:16:51.840 We're talking
00:16:52.340 about the
00:16:53.180 topic of
00:16:54.180 persuasion.
00:16:55.540 Right?
00:16:55.940 If you're trying
00:16:56.760 to persuade
00:16:57.500 somebody on a
00:16:58.620 deadly serious
00:17:00.000 topic,
00:17:01.500 racism,
00:17:02.900 right,
00:17:03.200 slavery,
00:17:04.480 like deadly,
00:17:05.400 literally deadly
00:17:06.220 serious topics,
00:17:07.920 do you want
00:17:08.960 to pick a look
00:17:09.720 that reminds
00:17:11.120 people of
00:17:11.820 Bozo the Clown?
00:17:13.680 No.
00:17:14.860 No,
00:17:15.360 don't do
00:17:15.740 that.
00:17:16.940 So that
00:17:17.480 would be
00:17:17.800 a persuasion
00:17:18.620 fail.
00:17:19.700 If anybody
00:17:20.800 looks at
00:17:21.240 your look
00:17:21.660 and says
00:17:22.140 to themselves,
00:17:23.440 I think
00:17:24.040 I'm being
00:17:24.400 reminded of
00:17:25.120 something,
00:17:25.620 it's either
00:17:26.160 Bozo the Clown
00:17:28.200 or a rat.
00:17:37.840 I hear a
00:17:38.620 piano being
00:17:39.160 played at
00:17:43.020 7.17 in the
00:17:44.180 morning.
00:17:44.540 That's weird.
00:17:45.720 Okay,
00:17:46.120 I don't know
00:17:46.460 what that's
00:17:46.780 all about.
00:17:49.360 One of the
00:17:49.960 things about
00:17:50.360 being me is
00:17:50.900 I never know
00:17:51.360 who's living
00:17:51.820 in my house
00:17:52.400 at any
00:17:52.740 moment,
00:17:53.380 but apparently
00:17:53.900 there's more
00:17:54.400 than one
00:17:54.700 piano player.
00:17:58.900 So here's
00:17:59.740 my other
00:18:00.120 comment about
00:18:01.040 Hannah
00:18:01.980 Nicole
00:18:02.440 Jones.
00:18:04.460 No,
00:18:04.680 Nicole
00:18:04.980 Hannah
00:18:05.280 Jones.
00:18:06.280 She's got
00:18:06.880 one of those
00:18:07.200 names that
00:18:07.580 you can put
00:18:07.920 in any
00:18:08.260 order.
00:18:09.260 Let's call
00:18:09.640 her
00:18:09.880 Nicole
00:18:10.320 Hannah
00:18:10.560 Jones.
00:18:11.820 And
00:18:12.080 if you
00:18:14.840 have a look
00:18:15.360 that looks
00:18:15.800 like Bozo
00:18:16.320 the Clown,
00:18:17.420 it makes
00:18:17.920 it seem
00:18:18.440 as though
00:18:18.920 you don't
00:18:20.600 have any
00:18:21.020 friends who
00:18:21.620 can be
00:18:21.940 honest with
00:18:22.540 you.
00:18:22.720 doesn't
00:18:24.680 it feel
00:18:25.020 like that's
00:18:25.480 true?
00:18:27.220 Somebody
00:18:27.620 in the
00:18:28.500 comments says
00:18:29.060 you're like
00:18:29.520 Larry David.
00:18:30.900 True.
00:18:32.080 So for
00:18:32.560 quite a number
00:18:33.280 of years
00:18:33.680 people have
00:18:34.200 said to me
00:18:34.640 you remind
00:18:35.560 me of
00:18:35.920 somebody.
00:18:37.280 It's often
00:18:37.940 Larry David.
00:18:39.240 So I
00:18:39.700 accept that.
00:18:40.980 I accept
00:18:41.440 that.
00:18:42.100 Now there's
00:18:42.300 not much
00:18:42.600 I can do
00:18:43.000 about it.
00:18:43.720 I don't
00:18:44.300 have much
00:18:44.660 to work
00:18:45.020 with here.
00:18:46.180 But it
00:18:46.880 certainly
00:18:47.160 would be
00:18:47.540 worth noting
00:18:48.240 if it
00:18:48.940 was some
00:18:49.260 choice I
00:18:49.740 made.
00:18:50.520 All
00:18:50.600 right.
00:18:50.720 here's
00:18:52.760 something I
00:18:53.200 learned about
00:18:54.120 Epstein's
00:18:55.380 death in
00:18:56.400 jail.
00:18:57.700 I guess
00:18:58.240 there's a
00:18:58.560 new book
00:18:58.900 coming out
00:18:59.500 by
00:19:00.340 investigative
00:19:01.860 reporter
00:19:02.500 Julie
00:19:02.860 Brown
00:19:03.280 called
00:19:03.640 The
00:19:03.820 Jeffrey
00:19:04.080 Epstein
00:19:04.400 Story.
00:19:05.740 Perversion
00:19:06.260 of
00:19:06.460 Justice
00:19:06.860 the
00:19:07.220 Jeffrey
00:19:07.700 Epstein
00:19:08.000 story
00:19:08.380 is
00:19:08.540 called.
00:19:09.660 And
00:19:09.880 here's
00:19:10.160 what she
00:19:10.500 says
00:19:10.880 that I
00:19:11.360 did
00:19:11.540 not
00:19:11.740 know.
00:19:12.960 Here's
00:19:13.220 a little
00:19:13.460 bit
00:19:13.620 more
00:19:13.880 about
00:19:14.340 Epstein's
00:19:15.200 cellmate.
00:19:16.840 Do you
00:19:17.440 know
00:19:17.580 anything
00:19:17.820 about
00:19:18.080 Epstein's
00:19:18.700 cellmate?
00:19:20.720 Well,
00:19:21.920 his name
00:19:22.380 was
00:19:22.620 Nicholas
00:19:23.160 Tartaglione.
00:19:26.320 Tartaglione.
00:19:28.040 Okay.
00:19:28.980 He's
00:19:29.480 described as
00:19:30.380 a hulking
00:19:30.940 ex-cop
00:19:31.880 facing the
00:19:33.380 death penalty
00:19:34.200 on federal
00:19:36.680 murder and
00:19:37.300 drug charges.
00:19:38.000 I think he
00:19:38.360 killed four
00:19:38.940 people.
00:19:40.600 And he
00:19:40.960 was Epstein's
00:19:41.660 cellmate.
00:19:43.480 Now,
00:19:43.840 Epstein
00:19:44.200 was not
00:19:45.720 dangerous in
00:19:46.700 that normal
00:19:47.260 way,
00:19:47.760 you know,
00:19:47.980 the violence
00:19:48.700 way.
00:19:49.260 He was
00:19:49.560 obviously
00:19:50.160 plenty
00:19:50.620 physically
00:19:51.600 dangerous
00:19:52.160 in his
00:19:52.640 way.
00:19:53.880 But
00:19:54.240 is that
00:19:54.820 normal?
00:19:55.140 You put
00:19:56.600 somebody on
00:19:57.120 death row
00:19:57.680 in with
00:19:58.160 an Epstein?
00:19:59.360 Is that
00:20:00.080 normal
00:20:00.420 procedure?
00:20:02.040 Don't
00:20:02.300 know.
00:20:03.580 But
00:20:03.840 apparently
00:20:05.280 here's the
00:20:05.860 part that
00:20:06.260 blew me
00:20:06.660 away.
00:20:07.780 Tartaglione
00:20:08.260 had an
00:20:08.980 illegal
00:20:09.420 cell phone.
00:20:12.920 Epstein's
00:20:13.520 cellmate
00:20:14.460 had a
00:20:15.800 cell phone.
00:20:18.200 He had
00:20:19.060 it.
00:20:19.560 He had
00:20:20.080 a cell
00:20:20.480 phone.
00:20:24.020 Here's
00:20:24.460 my
00:20:24.660 question.
00:20:25.880 How many
00:20:26.440 prisoners
00:20:26.940 have an
00:20:27.560 illegal
00:20:27.900 cell phone?
00:20:28.740 Like,
00:20:28.940 as a
00:20:29.160 percentage?
00:20:30.580 Is it
00:20:30.880 a lot?
00:20:31.960 I mean,
00:20:32.180 maybe it's
00:20:32.580 a lot.
00:20:33.340 How the
00:20:33.680 hell do
00:20:33.940 you smuggle
00:20:34.360 in a
00:20:34.660 cell phone?
00:20:35.100 It has
00:20:35.300 to be
00:20:35.520 through the
00:20:35.960 staff,
00:20:36.400 right?
00:20:37.280 Can
00:20:37.600 you get
00:20:38.000 a cell
00:20:38.480 phone to
00:20:38.940 a prisoner
00:20:39.380 in any
00:20:40.820 way except
00:20:41.640 through the
00:20:42.140 staff,
00:20:43.560 the guards,
00:20:45.400 right?
00:20:46.680 You'd
00:20:47.120 have to
00:20:47.540 have an
00:20:47.840 insider
00:20:48.360 being in
00:20:49.620 on that,
00:20:50.020 wouldn't
00:20:50.260 you?
00:20:51.640 I mean,
00:20:52.020 especially
00:20:52.780 because I
00:20:55.060 believe
00:20:55.500 Epstein's
00:20:56.700 cell had a
00:20:57.440 camera in
00:20:57.920 it.
00:20:58.880 So the
00:20:59.620 cellmate
00:21:00.400 apparently had
00:21:02.060 an illegal
00:21:02.580 phone in
00:21:03.940 a cell that
00:21:04.540 was being
00:21:04.940 monitored by
00:21:05.620 cameras.
00:21:06.100 how do
00:21:08.780 you get
00:21:08.960 away with
00:21:09.300 that?
00:21:11.360 How does
00:21:12.020 the jail
00:21:12.560 not have
00:21:13.600 some way
00:21:14.000 to detect
00:21:14.700 a cell
00:21:15.300 phone by
00:21:15.720 now?
00:21:16.720 Can't you
00:21:17.120 detect a
00:21:17.760 cell phone?
00:21:18.480 Is there
00:21:18.960 no device
00:21:19.720 that will
00:21:20.520 tell you
00:21:20.860 that a
00:21:21.240 cell phone
00:21:21.660 signal is
00:21:22.200 being given
00:21:22.680 off nearby?
00:21:25.400 How do
00:21:26.040 you have a
00:21:26.460 cell phone
00:21:26.880 in jail
00:21:27.360 in 2021
00:21:28.220 unless
00:21:28.760 they're not
00:21:29.180 trying very
00:21:29.700 hard to
00:21:30.060 prevent it?
00:21:31.620 So I
00:21:32.020 would say
00:21:32.320 that's
00:21:32.620 pretty damning.
00:21:33.400 And then
00:21:36.240 cell officials
00:21:36.880 say that
00:21:37.420 the contents
00:21:38.020 of this
00:21:38.560 illegal phone
00:21:39.280 was quote
00:21:39.860 inadvertently
00:21:41.400 destroyed.
00:21:42.760 The contents
00:21:43.760 of his
00:21:44.140 phone was
00:21:45.700 inadvertently
00:21:46.420 destroyed
00:21:47.040 because that
00:21:49.160 happens.
00:21:50.280 Right.
00:21:50.780 Most important
00:21:51.620 investigation of
00:21:53.620 the last
00:21:54.580 10 years
00:21:55.060 probably and
00:21:56.500 some evidence
00:21:57.180 just inadvertently
00:21:58.320 because nobody
00:21:59.440 thought to save
00:22:00.180 any evidence.
00:22:01.140 It was like
00:22:01.300 well most
00:22:01.820 important
00:22:02.340 alleged
00:22:03.840 suicide
00:22:04.280 ever but
00:22:05.180 you know
00:22:05.800 better not
00:22:06.880 save any
00:22:07.480 evidence.
00:22:09.080 So that's
00:22:09.940 all looking
00:22:10.380 pretty
00:22:11.060 unusual.
00:22:17.060 God I
00:22:17.760 wish I
00:22:18.060 could tell
00:22:18.400 you some
00:22:18.740 of the
00:22:18.900 things I
00:22:19.240 know.
00:22:20.140 One of
00:22:20.700 the hard
00:22:21.600 things about
00:22:22.140 being me
00:22:22.660 is that
00:22:24.180 I do
00:22:24.600 hear news
00:22:25.840 like long
00:22:26.700 before you
00:22:27.260 do.
00:22:28.240 Sometimes
00:22:28.620 months
00:22:29.360 if not
00:22:30.520 years
00:22:31.000 before you
00:22:32.260 hear it
00:22:32.740 and there's
00:22:33.720 stuff I
00:22:34.160 hear that
00:22:34.560 I just
00:22:34.820 can't tell
00:22:35.280 you and
00:22:36.380 it's
00:22:36.820 well I
00:22:39.480 know it's
00:22:40.400 annoying when
00:22:40.880 I say
00:22:41.140 that.
00:22:41.840 So let's
00:22:42.120 talk about
00:22:42.500 the Tokyo
00:22:43.220 Olympics.
00:22:45.140 Reportedly
00:22:45.620 and I don't
00:22:46.180 really believe
00:22:46.720 this story
00:22:47.260 but we're
00:22:49.000 going to go
00:22:49.400 with this
00:22:49.860 because I
00:22:50.400 think this
00:22:50.760 is fake
00:22:51.160 news but
00:22:51.740 it's fun.
00:22:52.980 It's fun
00:22:53.480 fake news.
00:22:55.760 Allegedly the
00:22:56.920 beds for the
00:22:58.000 athletes are
00:22:59.200 made out of
00:22:59.820 cardboard and
00:23:00.840 they're designed
00:23:01.520 so that they
00:23:02.760 will collapse
00:23:03.760 under the
00:23:04.360 weight of
00:23:04.820 fornication.
00:23:07.560 That's right.
00:23:09.100 You can
00:23:09.500 sleep on
00:23:09.980 them fine
00:23:10.520 but if you
00:23:12.680 get all
00:23:13.060 busy on
00:23:13.620 them and
00:23:14.540 you become
00:23:15.080 an Olympic
00:23:16.640 fornicator
00:23:17.400 these beds
00:23:19.360 are designed
00:23:19.920 to collapse.
00:23:20.900 Now let me
00:23:21.560 stop and say
00:23:22.180 I don't believe
00:23:22.800 anything about
00:23:23.400 this story.
00:23:24.500 I do not
00:23:25.040 believe that
00:23:26.020 beds were
00:23:26.480 designed
00:23:27.060 intentionally
00:23:28.100 to prevent
00:23:29.540 fornication
00:23:30.420 at the
00:23:31.040 Olympics.
00:23:31.960 But it
00:23:32.360 is a story.
00:23:33.940 Right?
00:23:34.440 So I'm
00:23:34.780 going to
00:23:35.040 talk about
00:23:35.560 it because
00:23:36.480 it's a
00:23:36.820 story but
00:23:37.340 I don't
00:23:37.600 believe it's
00:23:37.980 true.
00:23:38.580 However it
00:23:39.260 raises some
00:23:39.920 interesting
00:23:40.420 questions.
00:23:41.880 If you're
00:23:42.580 a young
00:23:43.100 single person
00:23:43.800 at the
00:23:44.160 Olympics and
00:23:44.700 you're
00:23:44.900 competing
00:23:45.300 which of
00:23:46.920 the other
00:23:47.320 athletes
00:23:47.940 looks the
00:23:49.180 sexiest
00:23:49.680 to you?
00:23:51.420 I'm
00:23:51.700 wondering do
00:23:52.400 they have
00:23:52.760 a lot of
00:23:53.340 private
00:23:53.620 conversations
00:23:54.240 over lunch
00:23:54.960 like
00:23:55.360 I've
00:23:56.980 got to
00:23:57.160 get me
00:23:57.420 a gymnast.
00:23:58.700 Why?
00:23:59.080 Because you
00:23:59.440 think they're
00:23:59.840 sexy?
00:24:00.860 No because
00:24:01.620 I have a
00:24:02.120 cardboard bed
00:24:03.080 and I need
00:24:03.640 the smallest
00:24:04.260 amount of
00:24:04.840 weight and
00:24:07.040 I'm thinking
00:24:07.480 gymnast.
00:24:09.140 98 pounds.
00:24:10.700 You know?
00:24:11.440 I could
00:24:11.740 probably make
00:24:12.280 that work.
00:24:13.680 Or is it
00:24:14.580 the javelin
00:24:15.240 throwers?
00:24:16.700 Is it just
00:24:17.560 something about
00:24:18.460 the javelin?
00:24:19.300 You know
00:24:19.540 what I mean?
00:24:20.080 You know
00:24:20.280 what I mean?
00:24:20.840 Wink wink
00:24:21.280 wink.
00:24:21.780 Javelin
00:24:22.220 thrower?
00:24:23.200 Yeah?
00:24:24.020 Do the
00:24:24.500 ladies like
00:24:24.980 the javelin
00:24:25.520 thrower?
00:24:25.880 You know
00:24:26.040 what I
00:24:26.220 mean?
00:24:26.500 You know
00:24:26.700 what I
00:24:26.900 mean?
00:24:27.700 Okay.
00:24:28.940 Or is it
00:24:29.480 the weight
00:24:29.740 lifters?
00:24:30.700 Is it
00:24:30.980 the big
00:24:31.240 bulky
00:24:31.560 guys?
00:24:32.140 Is it
00:24:32.400 or do
00:24:33.680 they like
00:24:34.060 the freaks?
00:24:35.560 They like
00:24:36.220 the ones
00:24:37.080 who can
00:24:37.440 ski and
00:24:38.400 shoot?
00:24:39.680 Yeah.
00:24:40.780 You get
00:24:41.460 a lover
00:24:42.940 who can
00:24:43.460 ski and
00:24:44.220 shoot and
00:24:44.940 you've got
00:24:45.140 to ask
00:24:45.460 yourself
00:24:45.840 what else
00:24:47.180 can they
00:24:47.540 do?
00:24:48.620 Yeah.
00:24:49.360 Can they
00:24:49.740 tickle your
00:24:50.220 balls?
00:24:50.760 Well never
00:24:51.300 mind.
00:24:52.120 Never
00:24:52.380 mind.
00:24:52.640 I'm just
00:24:53.240 saying that
00:24:53.640 some athletes
00:24:54.260 can multitask.
00:24:56.060 They're better
00:24:56.440 at two
00:24:58.180 things.
00:24:58.960 Some people
00:24:59.340 can only do
00:24:59.800 one thing.
00:25:00.840 Some people
00:25:01.240 can only
00:25:01.600 shoot.
00:25:02.560 Some people
00:25:03.060 can only
00:25:03.520 ski.
00:25:04.640 But some
00:25:05.100 people can
00:25:06.340 shoot and
00:25:06.860 ski.
00:25:08.360 And I'm
00:25:09.100 saying that
00:25:09.680 could be a
00:25:10.320 tell for a
00:25:10.820 good lover.
00:25:11.980 Not every
00:25:12.520 time but I
00:25:13.240 feel like the
00:25:13.940 odds are in
00:25:14.420 your favor.
00:25:14.800 Yeah.
00:25:17.580 Anyway these
00:25:18.320 are the
00:25:18.540 questions I
00:25:19.040 think of.
00:25:19.580 Which Olympic
00:25:20.260 athletes would
00:25:20.940 be the best
00:25:21.380 lovers?
00:25:21.660 I said
00:25:24.080 the other
00:25:24.340 day there
00:25:24.680 should be
00:25:24.960 a fleet
00:25:25.660 of drones.
00:25:28.020 How is
00:25:29.120 the word
00:25:29.420 drone exactly
00:25:30.440 appearing on
00:25:32.140 my screen
00:25:32.720 in the
00:25:33.020 comments?
00:25:34.460 Exactly as
00:25:35.440 I said
00:25:35.940 the story
00:25:37.120 about drones.
00:25:37.820 That's weird.
00:25:39.400 Anyway I
00:25:40.940 asked I said
00:25:41.780 there should
00:25:42.060 be drones
00:25:42.560 for forest
00:25:43.180 fires.
00:25:44.620 In other
00:25:45.060 words drones
00:25:45.820 that are
00:25:46.100 looking for
00:25:46.640 forest fires
00:25:47.400 and spotting
00:25:48.100 them but
00:25:49.100 also an
00:25:50.000 army of
00:25:50.600 drones to
00:25:51.260 bring water
00:25:51.880 and try
00:25:52.620 to get to
00:25:53.900 the fire
00:25:54.200 as quickly
00:25:54.620 as possible.
00:25:55.960 Now the
00:25:56.440 drones that
00:25:57.260 could bring
00:25:57.620 water are
00:25:58.320 probably a
00:25:58.780 pretty big
00:25:59.180 problem because
00:25:59.840 how do you
00:26:00.180 load them up
00:26:00.700 with water
00:26:01.260 without a
00:26:02.360 pilot?
00:26:03.020 I suppose
00:26:03.300 that's pretty
00:26:03.720 hard.
00:26:04.900 But could be
00:26:05.460 done.
00:26:06.340 It's certainly
00:26:06.900 well within the
00:26:07.760 ability of
00:26:08.640 technology someday
00:26:09.780 if we spend
00:26:10.540 enough money
00:26:11.040 to have drones
00:26:12.340 that would fly
00:26:13.160 down and grab
00:26:13.860 water.
00:26:17.140 Hey Carpe,
00:26:18.200 good to see you
00:26:19.280 and all the
00:26:19.780 Olympic
00:26:20.080 fornicators.
00:26:22.400 But it
00:26:22.920 turns out that
00:26:23.580 California does
00:26:24.400 have a fleet
00:26:25.640 of drones.
00:26:26.880 Did not know
00:26:27.480 that.
00:26:28.220 So we do
00:26:28.600 have a fleet
00:26:29.060 of drones
00:26:29.560 that I think
00:26:30.420 are just
00:26:30.740 looking for
00:26:31.360 fires.
00:26:31.880 They're not
00:26:32.180 treating them.
00:26:34.760 And maybe
00:26:35.280 small volume
00:26:36.860 of chemical
00:26:37.440 foam.
00:26:38.200 Exactly.
00:26:39.080 So if you
00:26:39.780 cut the fire
00:26:40.420 fast enough
00:26:41.460 maybe 100
00:26:44.740 drones with
00:26:45.740 chemical
00:26:46.440 retardant
00:26:47.120 because it's
00:26:47.640 not as heavy
00:26:48.200 I'm guessing
00:26:48.800 as water.
00:26:50.780 Maybe.
00:26:52.000 Maybe that
00:26:52.680 gets it done.
00:26:54.560 But if I
00:26:55.440 were the
00:26:56.220 California
00:26:56.680 governor here
00:26:57.420 is my
00:26:57.880 persuasion
00:26:58.700 tip.
00:27:00.360 Persuasion
00:27:00.880 tip.
00:27:02.060 I would be
00:27:02.960 talking more
00:27:03.600 about this
00:27:04.120 stuff.
00:27:05.140 Because the
00:27:05.880 news is all
00:27:06.460 about stuff
00:27:06.960 burning up.
00:27:08.060 It's just
00:27:08.380 non-stop bad
00:27:09.300 news and what
00:27:09.940 are you doing
00:27:10.300 about it.
00:27:11.060 And if you're
00:27:11.520 a citizen it
00:27:12.120 looks like the
00:27:12.580 governor is
00:27:13.020 doing basically
00:27:13.900 nothing.
00:27:15.200 Now what are
00:27:16.400 the odds that
00:27:17.380 the governor
00:27:17.920 and the
00:27:18.580 state of
00:27:18.920 California are
00:27:19.760 actually doing
00:27:21.120 nothing.
00:27:22.540 Nothing more
00:27:24.080 than they did
00:27:24.600 last year.
00:27:25.800 Is that
00:27:26.140 possible?
00:27:27.320 Are they
00:27:27.680 really just
00:27:28.220 doing nothing
00:27:29.080 more than they
00:27:29.720 did last year
00:27:30.360 when the whole
00:27:30.740 damn state
00:27:31.300 seemed like it
00:27:31.840 was on fire?
00:27:32.420 No.
00:27:33.480 They're probably
00:27:33.900 doing stuff.
00:27:35.320 And it probably
00:27:35.860 matters.
00:27:36.580 And it's probably
00:27:37.060 pretty good stuff.
00:27:38.480 So why aren't
00:27:39.180 we hearing about it?
00:27:40.140 So here's my
00:27:40.740 persuasion tip for
00:27:41.860 the governor.
00:27:42.900 If you're doing
00:27:43.480 something about
00:27:44.140 these forest fires
00:27:45.040 then maybe
00:27:50.060 goodbye user.
00:27:55.760 If you're
00:27:56.320 anyway.
00:28:00.220 Skipping
00:28:00.660 topics.
00:28:02.340 Have you seen
00:28:03.080 the photo?
00:28:03.960 I'll bet all of
00:28:04.560 you have by now.
00:28:05.280 If you follow the
00:28:05.880 news you've seen
00:28:06.480 the photo of the
00:28:08.060 Texas state
00:28:09.340 Democrats who
00:28:11.120 got on a plane
00:28:12.040 or a bus or
00:28:12.920 something and they
00:28:13.480 ran away and
00:28:18.680 they took a
00:28:21.800 selfie of how
00:28:22.780 happy they were
00:28:23.600 and pleased with
00:28:24.360 themselves and
00:28:25.240 smug on that
00:28:26.560 bus.
00:28:27.560 Here's my
00:28:28.300 persuasion tip.
00:28:32.480 Don't release a
00:28:33.660 photo that your
00:28:35.920 enemies are going
00:28:36.880 to be really
00:28:37.420 happy to publish
00:28:38.400 over and over
00:28:39.520 and over again.
00:28:40.300 Now look at
00:28:42.740 the face of the
00:28:43.640 woman who's
00:28:44.160 closest to the
00:28:45.420 camera.
00:28:46.000 She was probably
00:28:46.460 the one who was
00:28:46.980 holding the
00:28:47.440 camera.
00:28:48.040 Yeah I'm seeing
00:28:48.640 on locals
00:28:49.560 somebody's posting
00:28:50.500 it.
00:28:51.280 There's a woman
00:28:51.860 there with a
00:28:52.740 creepy big smile.
00:28:55.140 I'm going to
00:28:55.360 try to do it.
00:28:58.140 Like this.
00:28:59.000 I think I nailed
00:28:59.620 it actually.
00:29:00.240 This is her look.
00:29:02.760 And the problem
00:29:03.680 is that she's
00:29:05.180 too pleased with
00:29:06.280 herself.
00:29:07.820 Am I right?
00:29:08.640 She doesn't look
00:29:10.320 like somebody who's
00:29:11.540 doing something for
00:29:12.440 the good of the
00:29:13.080 country or you
00:29:14.760 know she's found
00:29:15.540 the only thing you
00:29:16.320 could do to try to
00:29:17.460 solve a problem.
00:29:18.820 She doesn't have
00:29:19.600 that problem solver
00:29:21.440 look if you know
00:29:23.240 what I mean.
00:29:24.400 She has the
00:29:25.200 crazed Karen look.
00:29:28.120 Right?
00:29:28.540 Karen.
00:29:31.640 And she took the
00:29:33.380 picture and she was
00:29:34.280 probably dumb enough
00:29:35.000 to be the one who
00:29:35.740 published it.
00:29:36.540 but really anybody
00:29:39.500 else would have
00:29:41.920 known.
00:29:43.400 Like the people who
00:29:44.520 did not take the
00:29:45.420 picture probably
00:29:46.000 looked at it and
00:29:46.620 said well there's
00:29:48.260 my brand.
00:29:53.320 Come on you love
00:29:54.300 it when I make that
00:29:55.020 face.
00:29:55.700 If you're listening
00:29:56.300 to this on the
00:29:56.960 podcast and you
00:29:58.320 can't see the
00:29:58.880 visual of the best
00:30:00.380 physical impression
00:30:01.840 anybody's ever done
00:30:03.140 of the Karen on the
00:30:04.860 bus well you've
00:30:06.400 missed something
00:30:06.900 good.
00:30:07.280 I'm going to do
00:30:07.700 it again.
00:30:08.180 You're going to
00:30:08.480 miss it again.
00:30:11.060 Pretty good wasn't
00:30:11.720 it?
00:30:12.660 I think that was my
00:30:13.400 best work.
00:30:16.340 Well here's some
00:30:17.160 fake news that you
00:30:18.220 didn't think was
00:30:18.800 fake news.
00:30:20.000 Have you been
00:30:20.460 hearing that the
00:30:21.420 Arizona audit the
00:30:23.040 election audit found
00:30:24.820 74,000 ish ballots
00:30:27.980 that don't have a
00:30:31.040 record of being
00:30:32.160 mailed in.
00:30:34.020 What?
00:30:35.820 Have you heard
00:30:36.520 that?
00:30:37.240 It's all over the
00:30:38.020 news all over social
00:30:39.160 media that they
00:30:40.240 found 74,000 ballots
00:30:42.140 that don't seem to
00:30:42.900 have a record of
00:30:44.740 having been valid
00:30:46.820 mail-in ballots.
00:30:48.900 So have you heard
00:30:49.420 that story?
00:30:50.940 Do you know it's
00:30:51.800 fake news?
00:30:53.800 How many of you
00:30:54.640 know it's fake news?
00:30:55.560 Here's the real
00:30:57.740 story.
00:30:59.400 That 74,000 includes
00:31:01.560 early voting.
00:31:03.780 People who did not
00:31:05.200 mail in a ballot
00:31:06.220 they just voted
00:31:07.300 early.
00:31:08.960 And it includes
00:31:09.900 things that came in
00:31:10.960 after some date
00:31:11.740 where they came up
00:31:12.520 with their numbers.
00:31:14.140 So between the two
00:31:15.000 things the fact
00:31:16.900 that it also
00:31:17.440 includes a whole
00:31:18.120 different category
00:31:18.840 of voters which
00:31:20.820 should not be linked
00:31:21.860 to online voting
00:31:22.820 so of course they're
00:31:23.600 not in the records
00:31:24.240 as online voters
00:31:25.360 because they
00:31:26.340 weren't.
00:31:27.420 They were never
00:31:27.880 online voters.
00:31:28.700 They just showed
00:31:29.160 up early and
00:31:29.640 voted in person.
00:31:31.260 So the whole
00:31:32.560 74,000 thing
00:31:33.880 looks like fake
00:31:35.180 news based on
00:31:36.140 the auditors not
00:31:37.380 knowing how the
00:31:38.000 system works.
00:31:39.920 That's awkward.
00:31:41.700 Now I could be
00:31:43.200 wrong because I'm
00:31:44.660 using a CNN
00:31:46.600 fact check on
00:31:47.660 this.
00:31:48.260 So it could be
00:31:49.000 bullshit.
00:31:50.240 But I feel as if
00:31:52.160 the bias here is in
00:31:53.400 favor of the fact
00:31:54.280 checkers.
00:31:55.360 I feel as if the
00:31:56.560 fact checkers
00:31:57.200 probably got this
00:31:58.800 one right.
00:32:00.380 Probably.
00:32:01.500 So ask yourself.
00:32:03.380 If you watched a
00:32:05.180 news source or
00:32:06.420 somebody tweeted
00:32:07.180 that number around
00:32:08.060 like it was a
00:32:09.460 fact and you
00:32:10.940 accepted it as a
00:32:12.100 fact, check where
00:32:14.680 you got it from.
00:32:16.160 Just take a look
00:32:17.160 at where you got
00:32:17.680 it from and see
00:32:19.340 if you want to
00:32:19.860 trust that source
00:32:20.620 going forward.
00:32:21.260 Now remember what
00:32:22.720 I told you early
00:32:23.500 on when the
00:32:24.660 election was being
00:32:25.560 questioned and
00:32:26.440 audits were
00:32:27.020 happening and all
00:32:27.980 that?
00:32:28.700 I told you from
00:32:29.580 the very start
00:32:30.460 that no matter
00:32:31.860 whether there was
00:32:32.780 any impropriety or
00:32:33.920 not, irregardless of
00:32:36.080 how much there was
00:32:36.940 or regardless of
00:32:38.460 how much there was,
00:32:39.800 that 95% of the
00:32:42.900 claims would be
00:32:44.060 bullshit.
00:32:44.420 Even if someday we
00:32:47.080 find that 5% are
00:32:48.320 true, which we
00:32:49.760 haven't found,
00:32:50.640 nobody's done that,
00:32:52.160 but even if we did,
00:32:53.800 still 95% of the
00:32:55.220 claims would be
00:32:55.820 utter bullshit and
00:32:56.740 apparently this is
00:32:57.440 one of them.
00:32:58.860 All right, the
00:32:59.220 Guardian is doing
00:33:01.880 an investigative piece
00:33:03.260 that looks like it
00:33:04.160 could be important on
00:33:05.680 some kind of spyware
00:33:06.920 program called
00:33:07.740 Pegasus.
00:33:09.320 So there's a
00:33:10.120 company, the NSO
00:33:11.600 group, who sells
00:33:12.500 this surveillance
00:33:13.420 software that
00:33:15.220 allows you to
00:33:15.860 surveil people on
00:33:17.740 their cell phone.
00:33:19.240 But they say
00:33:20.300 they're selling it
00:33:21.020 to only intelligence
00:33:23.520 agencies and, you
00:33:24.660 know, the good
00:33:25.380 guys.
00:33:26.380 Do you believe
00:33:27.160 that?
00:33:28.780 Well, you're safe
00:33:29.920 because this
00:33:31.260 technology to look
00:33:32.560 into anybody's
00:33:33.460 phone is only
00:33:35.640 being given to
00:33:36.340 the good guys.
00:33:38.020 So it's
00:33:39.640 Project Pegasus,
00:33:40.740 yes, thank
00:33:41.220 you.
00:33:43.420 So,
00:33:45.220 so, yeah,
00:33:49.500 your phone can
00:33:50.400 be spied on by
00:33:51.940 anybody who has
00:33:52.620 this software and
00:33:54.520 that means any
00:33:55.320 intelligence agency
00:33:56.360 basically can get
00:33:57.320 into your phone.
00:33:58.420 Now, the scary
00:33:59.280 part is that there
00:34:00.180 was some kind of
00:34:00.840 hack where the
00:34:01.700 Guardian got a
00:34:02.560 hold of a list of
00:34:04.460 people that are
00:34:05.340 being spied on by
00:34:06.560 this software,
00:34:08.180 journalists.
00:34:08.660 journalists, right?
00:34:12.880 Now, I'm going to
00:34:14.960 have to check that
00:34:15.820 list to see if I'm
00:34:17.180 fucking on it, right?
00:34:19.780 Now, I don't know if
00:34:20.760 I would be called a
00:34:21.520 journalist, but I'm, I
00:34:23.480 work in that domain,
00:34:24.540 right?
00:34:24.920 I'm, I'm an opinion
00:34:25.940 maker in the political
00:34:27.300 sense, so I would
00:34:29.540 think I would be
00:34:30.440 exactly in the
00:34:31.480 crosshairs of what
00:34:34.760 somebody would want
00:34:35.540 to spy on because I
00:34:37.900 have an influence and
00:34:39.160 I talk about the
00:34:39.880 topic that people
00:34:40.660 spy on.
00:34:42.220 So, when the list
00:34:43.460 comes out, I have to
00:34:46.220 check the fucking
00:34:46.880 list to see if I'm
00:34:49.000 on it.
00:34:49.880 Like, really, I have
00:34:50.960 to check the list.
00:34:52.240 Now, I bet I'm not.
00:34:53.840 You know, if I had to
00:34:54.460 take a guess, the odds
00:34:55.420 are low.
00:34:56.120 But I have to
00:34:57.480 check.
00:34:59.280 Now, I suppose
00:34:59.840 somebody might have
00:35:00.420 told me by now.
00:35:01.720 I probably would have
00:35:02.800 been informed by now
00:35:03.740 if I were on it.
00:35:05.620 Anyway.
00:35:08.000 We also have news
00:35:09.720 that China has
00:35:10.900 apparently been doing
00:35:11.840 the Russia trick of
00:35:13.640 hiring criminal
00:35:14.760 contract hackers.
00:35:16.840 So, things can't be
00:35:17.860 tied as easily back to
00:35:19.020 the government.
00:35:19.980 They just hire
00:35:20.740 criminals to do the
00:35:21.800 hacking and apparently
00:35:22.820 they've been hacking
00:35:23.560 and blackmailing
00:35:24.520 American companies.
00:35:26.120 And I don't know
00:35:30.800 what to say about
00:35:31.560 China anymore.
00:35:33.400 China's brand is
00:35:35.660 fentanyl mass
00:35:36.600 murder, cyber
00:35:37.380 crimes, ethnic
00:35:38.260 genocide, IP
00:35:39.320 theft, climate
00:35:40.300 destruction, illegal
00:35:41.480 trade practices,
00:35:43.220 selling the organs
00:35:44.320 of living dissidents,
00:35:46.720 and unleashing the
00:35:48.320 coronavirus on the
00:35:49.300 world.
00:35:50.860 That's their brand.
00:35:53.020 Like, when you
00:35:53.560 think about them,
00:35:54.920 you think of
00:35:55.620 just all that
00:35:56.800 shit?
00:35:58.760 And apparently
00:36:00.340 they can just
00:36:00.940 hack on us too
00:36:01.800 because there's
00:36:03.000 no penalty.
00:36:06.240 I think we have
00:36:07.260 to expel all of
00:36:08.280 their diplomats,
00:36:09.660 don't you?
00:36:10.800 I feel as if the
00:36:12.280 fentanyl issue
00:36:13.280 alone should cause
00:36:15.120 us to just expel
00:36:16.180 all of their
00:36:16.720 diplomats and
00:36:18.180 treat them as if
00:36:19.060 they're a pariah
00:36:19.740 country until they
00:36:20.680 at least fix that.
00:36:22.580 I mean, with the
00:36:23.100 cyber stuff, I could
00:36:24.120 sort of imagine
00:36:24.900 that maybe we're
00:36:25.620 doing it back to
00:36:26.360 them.
00:36:27.440 So maybe we're a
00:36:28.280 bunch of hypocrites
00:36:29.120 and I would
00:36:30.780 imagine the United
00:36:31.580 States is hacking
00:36:32.340 China.
00:36:33.320 I doubt we're
00:36:34.000 blackmailing them
00:36:34.840 and doing ransomware.
00:36:36.640 I doubt we're
00:36:37.060 doing that.
00:36:38.180 Maybe.
00:36:39.020 Who knows?
00:36:40.580 But fentanyl, I
00:36:42.560 don't think we're
00:36:43.020 sending them
00:36:43.500 fentanyl.
00:36:44.440 So we should just
00:36:45.100 say, look, we're
00:36:47.160 closing business with
00:36:48.180 you guys.
00:36:49.240 Trade with anybody
00:36:49.960 you want, but not
00:36:50.880 us, because you've
00:36:52.180 got to stop the
00:36:52.720 fentanyl.
00:36:53.220 That's the ticket to
00:36:54.860 get into the
00:36:55.360 conversation.
00:36:57.100 You don't negotiate
00:36:58.260 fentanyl.
00:37:01.020 That's what Trump
00:37:01.900 did wrong.
00:37:03.160 Trump negotiated
00:37:04.580 fentanyl.
00:37:06.620 You don't negotiate
00:37:07.880 with a mass
00:37:08.600 murderer who's
00:37:09.340 literally murdering
00:37:10.500 you, because
00:37:11.620 whatever reason
00:37:12.320 they're doing it,
00:37:12.920 they wanted to
00:37:13.440 keep doing it.
00:37:14.100 You don't
00:37:14.360 negotiate that.
00:37:16.020 You just tell
00:37:16.600 them what the
00:37:17.040 penalty is, and
00:37:18.080 then you apply
00:37:18.660 it.
00:37:19.740 That's it.
00:37:20.420 You don't
00:37:20.640 negotiate fucking
00:37:21.880 fentanyl.
00:37:23.560 So, yeah, Trump
00:37:24.360 got that completely
00:37:25.260 wrong.
00:37:26.360 At least he tried.
00:37:29.720 Here's some more
00:37:30.480 semi-fake news.
00:37:33.780 So there's, I
00:37:34.800 saw an article, and
00:37:36.140 I made the mistake
00:37:36.780 of tweeting it
00:37:37.460 myself, so I
00:37:38.480 added to the
00:37:39.180 fake newsness,
00:37:40.380 which is that
00:37:41.360 there is a
00:37:41.920 Northern California
00:37:42.720 county, I think
00:37:45.240 it might be my
00:37:45.880 county or the
00:37:46.640 one next to me,
00:37:47.280 I'm not sure
00:37:47.680 which one,
00:37:48.660 but that
00:37:50.780 changed the
00:37:52.420 way it counts
00:37:53.000 coronavirus deaths
00:37:54.360 and decreased
00:37:55.120 their number of
00:37:56.040 fatalities by
00:37:56.840 25%.
00:37:57.780 What?
00:37:59.660 They decreased
00:38:00.820 the number of
00:38:02.060 past fatalities
00:38:03.260 by 25%, and
00:38:05.280 here's what they
00:38:05.840 did.
00:38:06.780 They stopped
00:38:07.420 counting people
00:38:08.320 who died in,
00:38:09.340 for example,
00:38:10.480 car crashes
00:38:11.280 who might have
00:38:12.700 also had
00:38:13.260 COVID.
00:38:14.940 Wait, what?
00:38:15.760 they were
00:38:17.220 counting people
00:38:17.980 who died in
00:38:18.860 violent car
00:38:19.640 crashes as
00:38:21.040 COVID deaths
00:38:21.820 if they had
00:38:23.920 COVID too.
00:38:25.600 First question,
00:38:26.800 why did they
00:38:27.300 even test them?
00:38:28.140 Is it a standard
00:38:28.880 now?
00:38:29.320 If anybody is in
00:38:30.300 the hospital,
00:38:30.760 do they all get
00:38:31.220 tested?
00:38:32.040 Which would make
00:38:32.720 sense, I suppose.
00:38:34.260 But,
00:38:34.880 really?
00:38:35.960 Now, do you
00:38:39.940 believe this
00:38:40.380 news?
00:38:41.840 Okay, how many
00:38:42.660 believe the
00:38:43.140 news?
00:38:44.080 This is reported
00:38:45.180 by a local
00:38:46.280 news entity.
00:38:48.160 I tweeted it
00:38:49.240 around.
00:38:50.240 It says,
00:38:50.920 my county has
00:38:51.980 changed their
00:38:52.580 methodology and
00:38:53.460 increased the
00:38:54.100 deaths by 25%.
00:38:55.220 real news or
00:38:56.620 fake news?
00:38:58.320 Real news or
00:38:59.280 fake news?
00:39:00.840 The answer is
00:39:02.000 semi-fake.
00:39:04.380 Because the
00:39:05.140 state didn't
00:39:06.920 count it this
00:39:07.560 way.
00:39:08.500 So when you
00:39:08.900 were looking at
00:39:09.440 the state's
00:39:10.160 results, they
00:39:11.160 were always
00:39:11.520 accurate.
00:39:12.480 So the state
00:39:13.260 was not
00:39:13.880 including somebody
00:39:15.180 who died in a
00:39:15.920 car accident who
00:39:17.180 also had COVID.
00:39:18.660 The county
00:39:19.320 was, but when
00:39:20.840 they reported
00:39:21.300 it to the
00:39:21.660 state, the
00:39:22.140 state would
00:39:22.500 subtract those
00:39:23.140 out, I
00:39:23.480 guess.
00:39:23.720 So, apparently
00:39:26.200 the state
00:39:26.820 number was not
00:39:27.940 distorted in
00:39:28.880 this way, but
00:39:30.500 the county was.
00:39:31.520 Does that matter?
00:39:32.820 Because that means
00:39:33.560 that our overall
00:39:34.940 numbers are still
00:39:35.720 correct.
00:39:36.780 So I'm going to
00:39:37.240 call this semi-fake
00:39:39.060 news, but very
00:39:40.560 persuasive.
00:39:41.680 And here's the
00:39:42.360 persuasion tip.
00:39:43.740 The thing that
00:39:44.300 made this fake
00:39:45.020 news sell is
00:39:46.440 that the part
00:39:47.020 about the state
00:39:48.600 correcting for
00:39:49.500 this was way
00:39:52.820 toward the end
00:39:53.380 of the article.
00:39:54.660 And if I've
00:39:55.160 taught you
00:39:55.500 anything, we
00:39:56.920 pay attention
00:39:57.560 to things that
00:39:58.300 happen first.
00:39:59.860 That's it.
00:40:01.180 That's a really
00:40:01.960 important rule.
00:40:03.200 Whatever gets
00:40:04.060 our attention
00:40:04.560 first sticks
00:40:05.680 in our minds
00:40:06.340 and everything
00:40:06.740 after that is
00:40:07.380 lessened.
00:40:08.100 That's why
00:40:08.360 first impressions
00:40:09.140 are so important.
00:40:10.440 So if you
00:40:10.920 write an article
00:40:11.560 that says,
00:40:12.640 hey, past
00:40:14.440 deaths are
00:40:14.920 reduced 25%
00:40:16.020 because we
00:40:16.600 changed how
00:40:17.060 we do it in
00:40:17.520 the county,
00:40:18.760 most people,
00:40:20.540 including me
00:40:21.360 the first time
00:40:21.980 I read it
00:40:22.520 quickly,
00:40:23.700 completely
00:40:24.120 missed the
00:40:24.620 fact that
00:40:25.440 the state
00:40:25.860 doesn't make
00:40:26.380 that mistake.
00:40:28.460 So there
00:40:29.220 you go.
00:40:30.640 Semi-fake
00:40:31.720 news.
00:40:35.300 That is
00:40:36.900 your live
00:40:37.320 stream for
00:40:37.800 today.
00:40:38.480 Was it one
00:40:39.020 of the best
00:40:39.420 you've ever
00:40:39.800 seen?
00:40:40.320 Well, I
00:40:40.820 don't know.
00:40:41.480 I don't
00:40:41.720 know.
00:40:42.560 But it's
00:40:43.100 up there.
00:40:44.740 And I
00:40:46.920 have a
00:40:47.360 question and
00:40:48.220 a request.
00:40:48.720 The YouTube
00:40:50.520 traffic for
00:40:51.700 this live
00:40:52.120 stream is
00:40:52.540 down about
00:40:53.180 one-third
00:40:53.920 since I
00:40:55.660 started live
00:40:56.440 streaming on
00:40:57.220 locals.
00:40:58.160 Is that
00:40:58.740 because a
00:40:59.240 third of
00:40:59.580 you went
00:40:59.900 to locals?
00:41:01.400 Because you
00:41:02.160 preferred something
00:41:03.920 about it?
00:41:04.380 Maybe there's
00:41:04.740 no commercials.
00:41:05.580 That's why
00:41:05.860 you like it.
00:41:06.840 But anyway,
00:41:07.620 if you're
00:41:08.420 going to stay
00:41:08.760 on YouTube,
00:41:09.900 could you do
00:41:10.440 me a big
00:41:10.860 favor and hit
00:41:11.900 the subscribe
00:41:12.500 button that
00:41:13.420 is, let's
00:41:14.020 see, to my
00:41:15.680 side?
00:41:16.140 It would
00:41:16.420 be here.
00:41:19.240 Is it down
00:41:19.920 here or is
00:41:20.640 it down over
00:41:21.060 there?
00:41:22.080 It's on one
00:41:22.420 of those
00:41:22.660 sides.
00:41:23.440 But anyway,
00:41:24.020 if you subscribe
00:41:25.540 to things
00:41:26.120 anyway, hitting
00:41:27.380 that button
00:41:27.880 will give you
00:41:28.620 a notice that
00:41:29.300 I'm going
00:41:29.820 live.
00:41:31.340 So do that
00:41:32.280 if you feel
00:41:33.620 inclined.
00:41:34.380 Otherwise, go
00:41:35.180 to locals.
00:41:35.760 It's a
00:41:36.120 subscription
00:41:36.620 service and
00:41:38.060 you won't
00:41:38.480 get commercials
00:41:39.120 there.
00:41:43.460 It says,
00:41:44.260 you lied.
00:41:44.840 still have
00:41:46.300 ads when
00:41:46.960 subscribed.
00:41:48.540 No, the
00:41:49.400 subscription is
00:41:50.200 not what, let
00:41:52.680 me clarify,
00:41:53.380 that wasn't a
00:41:53.820 lie, but it
00:41:54.560 was a good
00:41:54.860 question.
00:41:55.680 Somebody's
00:41:56.140 saying that if
00:41:56.680 you subscribe to
00:41:57.480 the YouTube
00:41:57.860 channel that I
00:41:58.820 said you won't
00:41:59.400 see commercials.
00:42:01.260 If I said that,
00:42:02.060 then I misspoke.
00:42:03.280 What I meant
00:42:03.780 was, if you
00:42:05.120 subscribe to
00:42:06.100 YouTube, which
00:42:07.980 is paying a
00:42:08.880 fee, to
00:42:10.160 YouTube in
00:42:10.800 general, then
00:42:12.360 you don't get
00:42:12.880 ads for any
00:42:14.140 content you
00:42:14.800 watch.
00:42:15.720 So I
00:42:16.340 probably messed
00:42:17.260 up the
00:42:17.600 description of
00:42:18.200 that.
00:42:18.380 That might
00:42:18.660 be on me.
00:42:19.740 But what I
00:42:20.220 meant to
00:42:20.520 say is the
00:42:21.240 subscription does
00:42:22.340 nothing but give
00:42:23.000 you a notice,
00:42:24.000 I think, it
00:42:24.860 does nothing but
00:42:25.460 give you a
00:42:25.880 notice that the
00:42:28.940 content is
00:42:29.520 there.
00:42:30.160 But to not
00:42:31.060 see the
00:42:31.460 commercials, you
00:42:33.280 would have to
00:42:33.740 subscribe not by
00:42:35.020 pushing the
00:42:35.480 button but by
00:42:36.140 paying a fee
00:42:36.740 every month to
00:42:37.480 YouTube.
00:42:38.240 So if I said
00:42:38.860 that wrong, I
00:42:39.520 apologize.
00:42:40.560 I think I said
00:42:41.240 it right now.
00:42:42.320 All right, that's
00:42:42.860 all for today.
00:42:43.380 And I'll talk
00:42:43.900 to you on
00:42:44.280 YouTube tomorrow.
