Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1456 Scott Adams： Come in Here!

00:00:00.000 I've been working with the local subscribers here trying to work it out and somehow magically

00:00:07.040 it's all working out.

00:00:08.740 So if you can hear me, then something worked fine.

00:00:13.960 Thanks for showing up.

00:00:16.280 Now, you missed the first part of the presentation where I send this over to my email.

00:00:25.780 Does it seem like I'm not prepared today?

00:00:27.440 I had massive technical problems.

00:00:30.840 Oh, fuck me.

00:00:32.760 All right.

00:00:35.460 Bear with me one moment.

00:00:37.760 Oh, fuck me.

00:00:39.200 I swear to God.

00:00:43.080 Have you learned that just trying to use an application is like you have to be a hacker to get into your own account?

00:00:54.560 Now, I've got like multiple sign-ons and they've got to text me and they've got to change my password and fix my settings and update my software.

00:01:03.900 Every fucking time I want to use an application.

00:01:06.820 My God, this stuff is so fucking broken.

00:01:11.040 Like just to use any application, I've got to like search my records for the last sign-in.

00:01:17.720 I've got to get a new password.

00:01:19.320 Something's out of date.

00:01:20.180 I can't fucking just turn on an application and just fucking use it. 0.70

00:01:25.020 Jesus.

00:01:25.940 All right.

00:01:27.460 Sorry.

00:01:27.940 Didn't mean to take the Lord's name in vain.

00:01:30.640 So here's what we're going to do.

00:01:32.380 Since I'm locked out of some other fucking account that I use every day for no fucking reason.

00:01:37.720 That just happened overnight.

00:01:40.340 I'm going to be looking sideways to get my notes.

00:01:44.580 Do I seem like I'm in a cranky mood this morning?

00:01:51.640 Does it feel like maybe I could explode any minute?

00:01:58.360 Oh, Charlotte says to please explain my Jesus sign to those who don't understand.

00:02:03.600 So over my shoulder, if you're listening on audio, there's a little sign that says,

00:02:08.460 Jesus, King is.

00:02:10.040 The audio is fine.

00:02:12.400 Now, it only says that because I've got yellow sticky notes over parts of the words on the

00:02:17.100 original sign.

00:02:18.560 And let's just say the King part was the last part of a word that started with F.

00:02:24.740 So I got rid of the F-U-C part. 1.00

00:02:27.500 And I didn't like taking the Lord's name in vain here on the live stream.

00:02:34.120 So the is, the I-S, used to say Christ.

00:02:38.580 But I got rid of the C-H and the T.

00:02:41.660 So I just turned it from a very vulgar sign into a very polite one.

00:02:47.640 Jesus, King is.

00:02:51.320 Sorry, I didn't think I was going to get YouTube working today.

00:02:54.400 All right, let's actually talk about some content.

00:02:56.000 Um, I'm very happy that the Olympics is on.

00:03:01.680 And I, a couple of highlights today.

00:03:05.680 So I'm not going to talk much about the Olympics, but there, there are some really good highlights.

00:03:09.980 Um, some good news.

00:03:11.820 Number one, the American women's soccer team lost.

00:03:16.140 I don't know about you, but I was, I was sort of rooting for them to lose.

00:03:20.620 Do I not understand how the Olympics works?

00:03:23.300 I'm not supposed to be rooting for my own country to lose, right?

00:03:27.940 But I kind of did.

00:03:29.280 I kind of rooted for them to lose because of the, the kneeling.

00:03:32.720 You know, the whole point of representing your country, if you're not going to do that,

00:03:37.980 if you're not going to represent your country and you're going to, you know,

00:03:40.860 kneel for the national anthem or something, I'm all for that.

00:03:45.140 But you're, you're welcome to have your protest and I have no problem with that whatsoever.

00:03:50.420 However, however, I also have the right to root against you.

00:03:54.980 So I was kind of happy that the women's soccer team lost because, uh, they don't represent me 1.00

00:04:00.440 in a way that I'd want to be represented.

00:04:02.180 Now, number two, the other best story is that, uh, New Zealand weightlifter, Laurel Hubbard, 0.78

00:04:10.160 uh, she made history because she'll be the first openly transgender female athlete to compete 0.98

00:04:16.200 at the Olympics in weightlifting.

00:04:18.620 So Laurel Hubbard, transgender athlete, um, is, uh, is in the Olympics.

00:04:27.680 And I find this a highlight of the Olympics personally.

00:04:31.660 Now I know some of you may be purists and saying to yourself, Hey, this is ruining the sport.

00:04:39.140 It's unfair to, to, uh, I don't know, biologically naturally born women. 1.00

00:04:44.860 Is that offensive or I've lost track.

00:04:48.020 So if that's offensive, wasn't meant to be, but I love this story because first of all,

00:04:56.100 what's the point of the Olympics?

00:04:58.420 Well, nothing really.

00:05:00.040 I mean, the Olympics had a, a purpose in the olden days, but they don't really have any

00:05:03.780 purpose now.

00:05:04.480 It's to sell advertisement or TV spots or something.

00:05:08.060 I don't know.

00:05:08.360 It doesn't really have any purpose in my, in my view.

00:05:10.700 The Olympics don't, but they are entertainment.

00:05:15.740 Now be honest.

00:05:17.600 What do you find more entertaining?

00:05:20.880 The skiing and shooting competition,

00:05:23.360 the jumping up and down and weird ways competition, the leaping over, uh, things competition, the running fast competition.

00:05:35.700 Which one of those is entertaining?

00:05:40.120 Maybe not any of them, but can you tell me you're not entertained by a transgender athlete coming into the weightlifting and winning everything?

00:05:49.620 Come on.

00:05:51.680 You could have lots of feelings about that.

00:05:54.520 And that's a separate topic, but it's definitely entertaining.

00:05:58.200 So let's, so let's have that.

00:06:02.340 So there's new information on the Wuhan, uh, virus leak hypothesis.

00:06:08.360 Um, who lost?

00:06:14.440 Oh, she lost already?

00:06:16.740 The transgender athlete already lost? 0.98

00:06:20.120 Well, that ruins everything.

00:06:23.080 Uh, I think I might want to see some blood tests of whoever beat the transgender athlete. 1.00

00:06:29.440 Might want to see a little blood test there.

00:06:32.300 Just saying.

00:06:33.940 Um, so anyway, the Wuhan Lake has some more, uh, information.

00:06:38.360 That, um, makes it look more like it was a leak.

00:06:43.980 So first of all, they had a leadership change at the lab in 2019.

00:06:49.260 Oh, yeah.

00:06:51.020 There's something missing, isn't there?

00:06:53.840 Oh, my God.

00:06:55.620 Do you realize I, I leapt into this without the simultaneous sip?

00:06:59.420 Yeah.

00:07:00.600 It's pretty, pretty bad at me.

00:07:03.960 But, never too late.

00:07:06.640 Never too late.

00:07:08.360 And if you'd like to enjoy this to the maximum ability that you can muster,

00:07:12.780 all you need is a cup or mug or glass, a tanker, a chalice, a stein, a canteen jug or a flask,

00:07:16.720 a vessel of any kind.

00:07:19.120 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:07:21.020 I like coffee.

00:07:22.760 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:07:26.220 The dopamine here of the day, the thing that makes everything better,

00:07:29.260 including the YouTube app.

00:07:31.540 It's called the simultaneous sip, and watch it happen now.

00:07:34.520 Go.

00:07:40.220 Well, for those of you on YouTube, over on the Locals platform,

00:07:44.700 I'm watching a commenter who has put a picture of a cat eating a banana.

00:07:49.280 And if you think that's not entertaining, well, you're so wrong.

00:07:54.500 Cat eating a banana, entertaining every time.

00:07:58.440 All right.

00:07:58.680 The Wuhan lab.

00:07:59.880 So, here's some things we found out about the Wuhan lab, apparently.

00:08:02.980 One is that there was a management change in 2019,

00:08:05.800 which suggests maybe there were some problems.

00:08:08.360 They had to change management.

00:08:09.160 Number two, there was a proposal out to fix the ventilation

00:08:14.560 two years after the ventilation had been put in new.

00:08:19.560 What?

00:08:20.780 So, there might have been some problem with the ventilation

00:08:23.020 that they were aware of at just about the wrong time,

00:08:25.820 if you know what I mean.

00:08:27.140 Apparently, there was an increase in Google searches on COVID-19.

00:08:32.100 How did it even have a name?

00:08:34.240 COVID-19 had a name before it had a name,

00:08:36.380 and people were Google searching it before you ever heard of it.

00:08:39.540 I don't understand that part of the story.

00:08:41.680 So, and there was a bunch of activity around the lab at about that time,

00:08:45.340 and no intermediate species have been found

00:08:47.860 that would suggest that it came from a natural species.

00:08:51.940 And then, also, a couple more experts have told you

00:08:56.060 that it could easily have been bioengineered,

00:09:00.720 and you wouldn't see a trace of it.

00:09:02.860 Do you remember that for, like, a year,

00:09:05.640 the common knowledge was that you could not bioengineer this virus

00:09:11.240 without leaving signs that it was done by humans?

00:09:14.700 Do you remember that?

00:09:15.320 That was common knowledge.

00:09:18.060 Now, I've told you before this,

00:09:19.660 sometimes I hear things before you do,

00:09:22.660 and I can't give you examples

00:09:25.140 because then I'd have to tell you

00:09:26.880 how I found out about them and stuff.

00:09:28.920 So, trust me,

00:09:31.300 that sometimes I hear the news a year before you do,

00:09:34.100 like, literally a year before you hear it.

00:09:38.660 Something like a few weeks into the pandemic,

00:09:43.140 at the very beginning of the pandemic,

00:09:44.620 I had a long phone call with one of the smartest people

00:09:49.540 who knows about this kind of stuff.

00:09:53.060 And that smartest person showed me a satellite picture

00:09:58.620 of the Wuhan lab and said it came out of there,

00:10:02.440 in all likelihood.

00:10:03.640 You know, nothing proven,

00:10:04.600 but it was too coincidental

00:10:06.380 because it was sort of across the street from the wet market.

00:10:10.640 So, long before the news was reporting anything,

00:10:13.320 I was looking at a picture of the Wuhan lab

00:10:15.960 on a Google map

00:10:17.420 and being told by somebody who was really smart,

00:10:21.660 this is where it came from.

00:10:23.980 At the same time, I asked the question,

00:10:27.220 could you make this virus look like it was natural

00:10:30.120 if it had been bioengineered?

00:10:32.260 And the person that I talked to said,

00:10:34.520 oh, yeah, definitely.

00:10:35.860 You could definitely make it look natural.

00:10:38.520 So, that's what I knew,

00:10:40.920 like, months and months.

00:10:43.320 Before it was in the news.

00:10:45.860 You know, so, and, you know,

00:10:47.360 I'm not unique in that way.

00:10:49.400 So, there were plenty of people who knew what was going on.

00:10:51.900 But here's the weird part.

00:10:53.480 Why did it take a year,

00:10:55.360 I think it felt like a year,

00:10:56.840 maybe it was just months,

00:10:58.460 for experts to say that it could have been engineered

00:11:01.940 and you wouldn't know the difference?

00:11:04.080 Why did that take so long?

00:11:05.480 I mean, I knew it probably a year before it was public knowledge.

00:11:11.540 And Scott, once again, being a narcissist.

00:11:16.300 So, one of the weird things about narcissism

00:11:18.660 is that narcissists think other people are narcissists.

00:11:24.120 I don't know if you knew that,

00:11:25.460 but that's one of the traits,

00:11:27.780 is that if you are a narcissist,

00:11:30.000 you project.

00:11:32.020 And so, you see other people as narcissists.

00:11:34.240 And whatever problems you have,

00:11:35.400 you just see them in other people.

00:11:37.460 And I've come to believe that a lot of my critics

00:11:40.600 are just narcissists. 0.50

00:11:43.660 And the problem is that they're pretty sure

00:11:45.480 they're right,

00:11:47.040 can never be wrong.

00:11:48.100 And if I say something that disagrees

00:11:50.400 with anything that they believe,

00:11:52.360 there's got to be a problem with me.

00:11:54.460 And the way you can tell that it's narcissists

00:11:56.600 as opposed to just critics,

00:11:58.900 let me give you a contrast.

00:12:02.620 So today, if you saw any of my Twitter tweets,

00:12:05.540 you saw people saying things about me,

00:12:07.640 such as,

00:12:09.060 Scott must be either bought off,

00:12:13.480 compromised,

00:12:14.440 bought into the narrative,

00:12:15.540 or afraid.

00:12:16.100 And those are the only explanations

00:12:18.460 for why my opinion

00:12:19.640 might be different from,

00:12:21.380 let's say,

00:12:21.560 my critics' opinion.

00:12:22.500 The only reasons.

00:12:23.680 There could be no other reasons

00:12:24.820 but that I've been bribed

00:12:26.700 or I've got, you know,

00:12:29.320 some kind of problem going on.

00:12:31.300 Or I can't admit I'm wrong

00:12:32.720 or something like that.

00:12:34.780 Now,

00:12:36.580 here's,

00:12:37.140 let me contrast

00:12:38.000 a conversation I had

00:12:39.880 with an economist

00:12:40.780 who is not a narcissist.

00:12:43.680 And it went like this.

00:12:45.460 Scott,

00:12:45.900 in your analysis

00:12:46.660 of the risks

00:12:47.420 of, you know,

00:12:48.600 the vaccines,

00:12:49.260 blah, blah, blah,

00:12:49.920 you forgot one

00:12:52.060 very important variable.

00:12:55.120 And I asked for a clarification

00:12:56.740 and the economist

00:12:58.960 gave me the variable.

00:13:00.680 And then I said,

00:13:01.840 good point.

00:13:03.180 I should bring that up.

00:13:04.860 The point was

00:13:05.640 that in the short term,

00:13:07.420 your risk of the vaccine,

00:13:09.520 vaccination,

00:13:11.020 is, you know,

00:13:12.740 there's one risk

00:13:13.600 for the vaccination.

00:13:14.360 But since you didn't have

00:13:16.180 to get the vaccination

00:13:17.420 because your odds

00:13:19.360 of actually getting the virus

00:13:20.520 in the short term

00:13:21.360 are almost nothing.

00:13:23.380 So that short term,

00:13:24.960 long term way

00:13:25.600 that I was framing things

00:13:26.820 was missing a big variable.

00:13:29.040 Now,

00:13:29.940 when an economist

00:13:30.900 who is not a narcissist

00:13:33.320 gives me a criticism,

00:13:36.160 I say,

00:13:37.760 well,

00:13:38.000 what facts

00:13:39.420 are you looking at?

00:13:40.660 What argument

00:13:41.380 are you looking at?

00:13:42.560 It's presented to me.

00:13:44.300 And then I say,

00:13:45.300 oh,

00:13:45.480 good point.

00:13:46.660 And then just like

00:13:47.700 I did now,

00:13:48.920 I tell you that

00:13:49.660 my argument

00:13:50.240 was flawed

00:13:51.080 and that I corrected it.

00:13:52.660 That's how two people

00:13:55.920 who are not

00:13:56.680 having any kind

00:13:57.520 of mental difficulty

00:13:58.560 have a conversation.

00:14:00.420 Oh,

00:14:00.700 you forgot this variable.

00:14:01.980 What is this variable?

00:14:03.440 Oh,

00:14:03.800 good point.

00:14:04.740 I've now changed

00:14:05.500 my opinion

00:14:06.060 to incorporate

00:14:07.000 that variable.

00:14:08.880 Now,

00:14:09.320 what does it look like

00:14:10.280 when a narcissist

00:14:11.060 comes after me?

00:14:13.240 Does it look like,

00:14:14.280 oh,

00:14:14.480 Scott,

00:14:14.780 you forgot a variable?

00:14:16.340 Have you considered

00:14:17.060 this in your argument?

00:14:19.560 Never.

00:14:20.320 Never.

00:14:20.780 It's always some assumption

00:14:23.060 about me personally

00:14:25.060 being broken

00:14:25.900 in one of a variety

00:14:27.640 of ways.

00:14:29.000 Is that what's going on?

00:14:31.200 Now,

00:14:31.600 I'm clearly as broken

00:14:33.600 as anybody else

00:14:34.740 in my own ways,

00:14:36.100 right?

00:14:37.340 Everybody's fucked up.

00:14:39.260 If you think

00:14:39.880 there's somebody,

00:14:43.220 if you think

00:14:44.240 that there's,

00:14:44.980 hold on,

00:14:46.420 Jojo,

00:14:47.280 it's not name calling

00:14:48.540 if you're talking

00:14:49.980 about me.

00:14:50.780 When I say

00:14:51.640 somebody's a narcissist,

00:14:52.760 that's a description

00:14:53.540 of behaviors.

00:14:55.100 That's not name calling.

00:14:57.420 So,

00:14:57.840 and it's a hypothesis

00:14:58.920 which I'm giving you

00:15:00.160 support for.

00:15:01.920 So,

00:15:02.540 pretty different

00:15:03.100 than name calling,

00:15:03.820 but maybe you were

00:15:04.380 talking about

00:15:04.780 with some of the

00:15:05.240 commenters there.

00:15:07.940 So,

00:15:09.060 when you see

00:15:10.020 the people

00:15:10.380 coming after me

00:15:11.120 with nothing but

00:15:12.120 attacks on my character

00:15:14.020 or saying

00:15:15.040 I've been bought off

00:15:15.880 or something like that,

00:15:16.640 they are probably

00:15:18.840 not actual critics

00:15:21.400 in the classic sense

00:15:23.020 where they have

00:15:23.500 something to complain

00:15:24.340 about.

00:15:24.920 They seem to be

00:15:25.800 just narcissists

00:15:26.780 and they're projecting

00:15:28.520 upon me.

00:15:30.240 That's what it looks

00:15:30.740 like.

00:15:30.960 And you can tell

00:15:35.200 because you can look

00:15:37.160 for cases

00:15:38.240 where I've changed

00:15:39.100 my mind

00:15:39.660 because there was data.

00:15:40.700 I just gave you one.

00:15:41.400 And did I have

00:15:43.820 any problem?

00:15:45.620 Just observe me.

00:15:47.320 Did I have any problem

00:15:48.460 telling you

00:15:49.020 that I was wrong

00:15:51.480 and have now

00:15:52.480 corrected it?

00:15:54.000 I have no problem

00:15:55.080 with that.

00:15:55.840 Because remember,

00:15:56.700 the nature of this

00:15:57.620 live stream

00:15:58.300 is about

00:15:59.820 sort of mental,

00:16:02.360 I would say

00:16:02.880 the biggest theme

00:16:03.760 that goes through

00:16:04.240 all of it

00:16:04.680 is mental illusions

00:16:06.040 which we're all

00:16:08.000 trying to get past.

00:16:09.420 So if I have

00:16:10.560 a mental illusion

00:16:11.660 and a total

00:16:12.460 brain fart,

00:16:14.540 I'd like to show

00:16:15.940 it to you.

00:16:17.560 My motivation

00:16:18.900 is to show you

00:16:19.680 I was wrong,

00:16:20.860 not to show you

00:16:22.120 I'm right all the time.

00:16:23.540 But,

00:16:24.440 if I am right,

00:16:26.680 it is very useful

00:16:28.360 as a tool

00:16:29.180 that you hear me

00:16:30.320 explain I'm right

00:16:31.120 so that you can judge

00:16:32.480 oh,

00:16:33.240 this kind of track record

00:16:34.420 and then the next

00:16:35.560 thing I say,

00:16:36.780 you'll say,

00:16:37.220 well,

00:16:37.440 let's put that

00:16:38.880 in the context

00:16:39.480 of how many times

00:16:40.380 he's been right

00:16:41.020 or wrong.

00:16:41.900 That is useful

00:16:42.820 to you.

00:16:44.420 So,

00:16:44.860 if it sounds

00:16:45.420 like narcissism

00:16:46.320 to tell you

00:16:46.840 how often

00:16:47.340 I've been right,

00:16:49.260 just put it

00:16:51.300 in a different category.

00:16:52.880 It's just useful.

00:16:54.380 You need to know

00:16:55.200 what I think

00:16:56.140 is my track record.

00:16:57.220 And you could

00:16:57.680 disagree with it,

00:16:58.380 sure.

00:16:59.160 But you need

00:16:59.740 to know what I think

00:17:00.540 or else you can't

00:17:02.260 put my opinions

00:17:02.860 in context.

00:17:04.180 All right,

00:17:04.560 speaking of China,

00:17:06.020 they've got problems

00:17:06.640 with the Wuhan leak.

00:17:07.700 They've got

00:17:08.060 massive flooding.

00:17:09.060 They've got pollution

00:17:10.420 through the roof.

00:17:11.600 They've got prison camps.

00:17:14.700 They may be harvesting organs

00:17:18.980 from political dissidents.

00:17:20.940 They're stealing

00:17:21.520 our intellectual property.

00:17:23.840 They're dominating

00:17:25.320 the South China Sea.

00:17:27.100 They're doing

00:17:27.760 just about everything

00:17:28.600 bad you could do.

00:17:29.800 I mean,

00:17:30.040 the list is so long

00:17:31.380 that it's hard

00:17:32.680 to go through them all.

00:17:35.260 China

00:17:35.740 is no longer

00:17:38.000 safe for business.

00:17:40.400 And as that

00:17:41.240 understanding

00:17:43.120 starts to permeate

00:17:44.340 the rest of the world,

00:17:46.620 China's got some big, 0.95

00:17:47.980 big problems coming.

00:17:49.800 Some of them

00:17:50.360 are just

00:17:50.920 baked into the fact

00:17:52.840 that it's a big country

00:17:53.680 and lots of big things

00:17:54.900 could happen

00:17:55.380 from, you know,

00:17:56.560 floods and climate

00:17:57.420 and everything else.

00:17:58.720 But I've got a feeling

00:18:00.480 that China might have

00:18:01.820 like a really big

00:18:03.320 problem coming.

00:18:05.400 And you'll know it

00:18:06.320 when you see it.

00:18:08.360 It's going to come

00:18:09.220 in a variety of ways

00:18:10.240 from a variety of sources.

00:18:14.120 And it's going to look

00:18:15.440 like a lot of coincidences.

00:18:18.280 But here's the question

00:18:19.360 I ask you.

00:18:20.100 Since we do seem

00:18:21.260 to know

00:18:21.720 that China has this concept

00:18:23.740 of, I don't know,

00:18:24.620 what do they call it?

00:18:25.240 Total warfare

00:18:26.120 or something

00:18:26.620 where they're really

00:18:27.940 trying to degrade

00:18:29.400 their opponents

00:18:30.060 in every way

00:18:30.920 they can.

00:18:32.020 They're trying to do it

00:18:32.680 with psychology,

00:18:33.860 with the law,

00:18:34.940 with technology,

00:18:36.660 with hacking,

00:18:37.480 just every way

00:18:38.480 you can,

00:18:39.260 short of shooting

00:18:41.020 an actual missile.

00:18:43.080 And what do you assume

00:18:46.200 about their adversaries?

00:18:47.780 Do you assume

00:18:49.920 unrestricted warfare?

00:18:51.340 That's the phrase

00:18:51.960 they use, yes.

00:18:54.680 What do you assume

00:18:55.620 about the adversaries?

00:18:56.560 We all know it, right?

00:18:59.560 All of the adversaries

00:19:00.840 to China know

00:19:01.740 that that's their

00:19:03.020 stated philosophy,

00:19:05.780 the unrestricted warfare.

00:19:07.380 And we see them using it.

00:19:08.920 So there's no doubt

00:19:09.720 that they believe it.

00:19:10.540 There's no doubt

00:19:11.060 they're doing it every day.

00:19:13.200 What do you think

00:19:13.680 we're doing?

00:19:15.920 What do you think

00:19:16.720 Great Britain's doing 0.93

00:19:17.700 about it?

00:19:18.860 What do you think

00:19:19.520 Europe's doing about it?

00:19:21.240 What do you think

00:19:21.900 Japan's doing about it?

00:19:23.880 About South Korea?

00:19:25.000 How about the United States?

00:19:28.820 Now, one theory

00:19:30.440 is that we're doing nothing.

00:19:32.080 Because maybe

00:19:32.600 we just don't do that.

00:19:34.260 That's possible.

00:19:35.960 But what do you think?

00:19:38.120 What's more likely?

00:19:40.720 Because here's the one complaint

00:19:42.240 I don't have about Biden.

00:19:45.540 He's not a pussy.

00:19:49.480 Would anybody disagree with that?

00:19:51.120 I'm open to a counter-argument on that.

00:19:53.780 But as much as I like

00:19:55.860 Trump for a lot of stuff,

00:19:58.120 I think different presidents

00:19:59.180 are good for different stuff.

00:20:00.840 So it's good that we alternate them

00:20:02.220 so you get the good stuff

00:20:03.460 of each personality.

00:20:05.380 But I don't think

00:20:06.120 Biden's a pussy. 1.00

00:20:08.020 I've got a feeling

00:20:08.880 that Biden

00:20:09.460 is kicking the shit

00:20:10.960 out of China

00:20:11.460 under the hood.

00:20:12.520 We just don't know it.

00:20:14.160 And he wouldn't tell us

00:20:15.100 because that's the kind

00:20:15.780 of president he is.

00:20:17.200 Don't know that.

00:20:18.580 There's no way

00:20:19.080 to know that for sure.

00:20:20.020 And I wish we could see

00:20:22.260 some signs of it,

00:20:23.320 but I don't think

00:20:23.860 it works that way.

00:20:25.560 So my guess

00:20:26.980 is that

00:20:28.180 the counter-attacks

00:20:30.100 to balance out

00:20:31.760 whatever the hell

00:20:33.460 China's doing 1.00

00:20:34.100 are probably

00:20:38.140 just ramping up.

00:20:39.580 So I would imagine

00:20:40.600 that we're just

00:20:41.380 getting busy

00:20:41.980 with that stuff.

00:20:42.900 Now one of the biggest risks,

00:20:43.980 as you might know,

00:20:44.700 is that China,

00:20:45.560 with its Belt and Road

00:20:46.540 initiative,

00:20:48.300 and it's basically

00:20:49.520 trying to get influence

00:20:51.040 over all the smaller countries,

00:20:53.160 especially if they have

00:20:54.160 rare earth minerals.

00:20:56.080 So one of the biggest ways

00:20:57.200 that China could conquer 0.93

00:20:58.640 the world

00:20:59.160 and dominate it

00:21:00.040 is by controlling

00:21:01.380 all the rarest

00:21:02.940 of the minerals

00:21:03.760 that are needed

00:21:04.360 for pretty much

00:21:05.440 all technology.

00:21:08.000 That's also,

00:21:09.360 if you didn't know it,

00:21:10.920 and I think this is true,

00:21:12.220 I'll take a fact check

00:21:13.260 on this too,

00:21:14.400 but I think it's true

00:21:15.120 that the reason

00:21:15.900 that space exploration

00:21:17.400 is such a big

00:21:18.560 frickin' deal

00:21:19.260 is that if the United States

00:21:21.260 can't get on an asteroid

00:21:22.640 to get some, you know,

00:21:24.620 rare minerals

00:21:25.300 off the asteroids,

00:21:27.820 I don't know

00:21:28.540 if we'll have access.

00:21:30.020 So space might be

00:21:30.900 the only place

00:21:31.460 we can get materials

00:21:33.160 we need

00:21:33.660 to be an advanced civilization.

00:21:36.900 Now the other thing

00:21:37.860 that you have to factor

00:21:40.540 in with China,

00:21:42.220 and China also makes

00:21:43.280 too many of our medicines,

00:21:44.360 the other thing

00:21:45.480 you have to factor in

00:21:46.300 is that

00:21:46.820 the Chinese billionaires

00:21:49.920 probably have

00:21:52.280 as much influence

00:21:53.180 over there

00:21:53.700 as a billionaire

00:21:54.460 does anywhere else,

00:21:56.460 which is a lot.

00:21:58.720 Again,

00:21:59.180 I would take

00:21:59.600 a fact check on that.

00:22:00.660 I'm imagining

00:22:01.340 the richest people

00:22:02.320 in China

00:22:02.760 are like the richest

00:22:03.540 people anywhere else.

00:22:04.600 They have lots

00:22:05.040 of influence.

00:22:05.600 So if the richest

00:22:07.120 people in China

00:22:07.940 are, let's say,

00:22:09.720 many of them

00:22:10.580 are own mines

00:22:12.200 and rare earth

00:22:13.400 everything,

00:22:14.160 this and that,

00:22:16.420 every morning

00:22:18.800 there's a bird

00:22:19.440 that walks across

00:22:20.220 my security camera

00:22:21.540 during the live stream.

00:22:23.560 Just one time

00:22:24.540 this little black bird

00:22:25.580 just walks across

00:22:26.840 the security camera

00:22:27.740 once.

00:22:30.780 Anyway,

00:22:31.640 so here's the point.

00:22:32.580 China's trying 0.94

00:22:33.640 to control

00:22:34.100 these rare earth

00:22:35.320 materials

00:22:35.900 and pharmaceuticals,

00:22:37.900 but if we ever

00:22:39.400 got into a deep

00:22:40.320 problem with China,

00:22:42.700 if it became

00:22:43.620 military,

00:22:46.060 that's the least

00:22:47.520 of our problems,

00:22:48.420 right?

00:22:48.700 If we ended up

00:22:49.800 in a full-out

00:22:50.960 military conflict

00:22:52.080 with China,

00:22:53.300 we're not going

00:22:54.580 to be worrying

00:22:55.060 about pharmaceutical

00:22:55.900 access,

00:22:57.220 because the whole

00:22:57.760 damn planet

00:22:58.360 will be destroyed.

00:22:59.140 But if it's

00:23:01.600 not a full

00:23:02.240 military conflict,

00:23:04.240 do you think

00:23:04.680 the billionaires

00:23:05.440 that control

00:23:06.040 the pharmaceuticals

00:23:07.200 in China

00:23:08.280 or control

00:23:09.320 the mining

00:23:09.820 interests

00:23:10.300 are going

00:23:10.700 to let the

00:23:11.240 government

00:23:11.700 shut them down?

00:23:14.300 Now, of course,

00:23:14.880 the government

00:23:15.240 is more powerful

00:23:16.180 than a billionaire,

00:23:17.340 even in China,

00:23:18.360 but still,

00:23:19.400 there's some

00:23:19.800 big, big

00:23:20.940 influences in China

00:23:22.160 that would be

00:23:22.680 pushing back.

00:23:24.040 And imagine,

00:23:24.680 if you will,

00:23:25.100 there's sort

00:23:28.460 of a mutually

00:23:30.580 assured destruction

00:23:31.800 when it comes

00:23:33.060 to China

00:23:33.620 and pharmaceuticals

00:23:34.940 or rare-earth

00:23:35.760 minerals.

00:23:36.920 What would happen

00:23:37.740 the day

00:23:38.620 that China 0.93

00:23:39.900 said,

00:23:40.400 we're not going

00:23:40.800 to give you,

00:23:41.420 America,

00:23:42.460 any rare-earth

00:23:43.260 minerals

00:23:43.640 or any pharmaceuticals?

00:23:45.080 We're just

00:23:45.340 cutting you off.

00:23:46.200 What would happen

00:23:46.780 the same day?

00:23:48.620 It would be

00:23:49.320 the end of China.

00:23:50.980 Their economy

00:23:51.660 would go into

00:23:52.460 a free fall

00:23:53.100 and never recover.

00:23:53.920 Right?

00:23:55.540 If somebody says war,

00:23:56.460 it wouldn't be war.

00:23:57.720 It would be

00:23:58.060 economic war.

00:23:59.380 And it would be

00:24:00.100 permanent.

00:24:01.700 It would be

00:24:02.140 permanent.

00:24:02.620 There would be

00:24:02.940 no recovery.

00:24:04.160 If China ever 0.98

00:24:05.060 said,

00:24:06.320 we have a monopoly

00:24:07.640 on your anything,

00:24:08.860 your pharmaceuticals

00:24:10.020 or your rare-earth

00:24:11.860 minerals,

00:24:12.340 and we're going

00:24:12.740 to stop you

00:24:13.260 from having them,

00:24:14.540 that would be

00:24:15.880 the end

00:24:16.480 of the Chinese

00:24:17.160 economy.

00:24:17.940 Because the

00:24:18.280 Chinese economy

00:24:18.980 depends on

00:24:19.780 the rest of the

00:24:20.480 world.

00:24:21.240 It doesn't operate

00:24:22.160 independently.

00:24:22.800 And the rest

00:24:23.780 of the world

00:24:24.180 would just say,

00:24:25.340 OK, that's

00:24:25.900 too far.

00:24:27.520 That's too far.

00:24:28.840 You can't be

00:24:29.420 trusted with

00:24:30.100 anything.

00:24:31.300 Not our rare-earth

00:24:32.240 minerals,

00:24:32.900 not our

00:24:33.240 pharmaceuticals,

00:24:34.560 freaking nothing.

00:24:36.500 So that would

00:24:37.520 be the end

00:24:37.840 of China.

00:24:38.800 So I'm less

00:24:39.620 worried about

00:24:40.200 them cutting

00:24:40.660 off things

00:24:41.360 than maybe

00:24:42.500 other people

00:24:43.040 are,

00:24:43.380 because it

00:24:43.800 would be

00:24:44.140 literally

00:24:44.560 suicide.

00:24:45.240 You know,

00:24:46.120 China would 0.99

00:24:47.180 be destroying

00:24:48.000 itself.

00:24:48.420 China is 0.85

00:24:52.360 surrounded by

00:24:52.840 enemies,

00:24:53.240 I'm seeing

00:24:53.540 in the

00:24:53.980 comments,

00:24:55.500 so that it

00:24:56.200 would be

00:24:56.480 suicide for

00:24:57.140 China to

00:24:57.640 start a

00:24:58.020 war.

00:24:58.600 Well,

00:24:59.300 yeah,

00:24:59.600 I mean,

00:24:59.980 any superpower

00:25:00.880 that gets

00:25:01.360 in a war

00:25:01.740 with another

00:25:02.220 superpower,

00:25:03.980 why?

00:25:04.880 I mean,

00:25:05.380 the only

00:25:05.960 reason you

00:25:06.320 do that

00:25:06.780 is if

00:25:07.120 you've

00:25:07.360 just

00:25:07.540 given up

00:25:08.140 on living,

00:25:09.680 and I

00:25:11.320 suppose

00:25:11.480 anything's

00:25:11.900 possible.

00:25:12.260 All right,

00:25:15.380 so China I

00:25:16.440 see coming

00:25:17.540 for a big

00:25:18.100 reckoning,

00:25:19.020 and I

00:25:19.540 don't think

00:25:19.900 China necessarily 0.99

00:25:20.720 knows how

00:25:21.160 big it will

00:25:21.620 be.

00:25:22.820 And as

00:25:23.700 I've told you

00:25:24.140 before,

00:25:24.560 there are

00:25:24.800 always forces

00:25:26.300 you can see

00:25:27.020 and forces

00:25:27.620 you can't

00:25:28.240 see.

00:25:29.320 And forces

00:25:29.860 you can't

00:25:30.520 see are

00:25:31.700 leaning pretty

00:25:32.480 hard on

00:25:32.960 China right 0.99

00:25:33.500 now,

00:25:34.160 and you're

00:25:35.240 going to see

00:25:35.480 the effect

00:25:35.940 of that

00:25:36.300 probably

00:25:36.920 within a

00:25:37.360 year.

00:25:38.760 So

00:25:38.920 Alexander

00:25:39.440 Vindman,

00:25:39.920 you all

00:25:40.200 know him

00:25:40.620 from the

00:25:41.380 famous

00:25:42.060 Trump

00:25:42.860 impeachment

00:25:43.460 trials.

00:25:44.440 He was

00:25:44.620 the officer

00:25:45.100 who's now

00:25:45.540 retired.

00:25:46.380 He's got

00:25:46.720 a book,

00:25:47.920 but he

00:25:48.280 said something

00:25:48.800 in an

00:25:49.120 interview

00:25:49.400 that I

00:25:50.480 want to

00:25:50.800 share with

00:25:51.300 you because

00:25:51.740 it looks

00:25:52.120 like it's

00:25:52.660 written by

00:25:53.260 a professional

00:25:54.040 persuader.

00:25:55.580 So here's

00:25:56.000 his actual

00:25:56.620 statement.

00:25:57.540 He said

00:25:57.900 about the

00:25:59.540 Trump

00:25:59.820 administration,

00:26:00.700 he said,

00:26:01.180 quote,

00:26:02.140 we could

00:26:02.660 have had a

00:26:03.120 collapse of

00:26:03.740 government

00:26:04.140 and could

00:26:04.960 have been

00:26:05.360 an entirely

00:26:06.000 different

00:26:06.540 country.

00:26:08.300 So

00:26:08.580 according to

00:26:09.220 Vindman,

00:26:09.660 we were

00:26:09.900 very close

00:26:10.920 to a

00:26:12.180 collapse of

00:26:12.820 government

00:26:13.280 and could

00:26:15.820 have had,

00:26:16.480 we could

00:26:16.800 have been

00:26:17.120 in an

00:26:17.760 entirely

00:26:18.160 different

00:26:18.760 country.

00:26:20.500 Does that

00:26:21.180 sound like

00:26:21.620 something that

00:26:22.200 Vindman came

00:26:23.520 up with on

00:26:24.300 his own?

00:26:26.380 Maybe.

00:26:27.280 You know,

00:26:27.620 he might have

00:26:28.060 some training

00:26:28.600 in some

00:26:29.020 kind of

00:26:29.520 persuasion

00:26:30.500 or something

00:26:30.860 like that.

00:26:31.560 But let me

00:26:31.900 tell you why

00:26:32.340 this is a

00:26:33.120 good

00:26:34.100 persuasion.

00:26:35.760 This

00:26:36.200 sentence,

00:26:37.420 we could

00:26:37.920 have been

00:26:38.320 in an

00:26:38.860 entirely

00:26:39.260 different

00:26:39.820 country.

00:26:41.160 What's

00:26:41.740 that mean?

00:26:43.400 We could

00:26:44.220 have been

00:26:44.480 in an

00:26:44.860 entirely

00:26:45.140 different

00:26:45.520 country?

00:26:46.440 This

00:26:47.000 is

00:26:48.160 Cialdini

00:26:49.380 level

00:26:49.940 persuasion.

00:26:51.500 I don't

00:26:51.880 know if

00:26:52.180 the publisher

00:26:52.720 helped him

00:26:53.240 with it.

00:26:54.220 I don't

00:26:54.500 know if

00:26:54.800 a Democrat

00:26:55.580 persuader

00:26:57.140 helped

00:26:57.540 with it.

00:27:04.060 Okay.

00:27:04.540 I'll

00:27:11.000 get to

00:27:11.420 that in

00:27:11.720 a moment.

00:27:12.780 Just some

00:27:13.160 breaking

00:27:13.540 news just

00:27:14.100 came across

00:27:14.660 my phone

00:27:15.120 here.

00:27:17.840 So

00:27:18.040 Vindman

00:27:18.460 is cleverly

00:27:19.960 leaving it

00:27:20.940 to your

00:27:21.200 imagination

00:27:21.780 of what's

00:27:22.540 the worst

00:27:22.940 thing you

00:27:23.300 could imagine

00:27:23.860 that this

00:27:24.580 country could

00:27:25.140 have turned

00:27:25.480 into,

00:27:25.980 which is

00:27:26.260 this other

00:27:26.640 thing.

00:27:27.300 That's

00:27:27.600 good

00:27:27.780 persuasion.

00:27:28.840 If you

00:27:29.280 tell somebody

00:27:29.940 something

00:27:30.920 specific,

00:27:32.460 they're likely

00:27:33.020 to say,

00:27:33.420 oh,

00:27:33.680 I don't

00:27:33.920 know,

00:27:34.180 that specific

00:27:35.240 thing,

00:27:35.640 I don't

00:27:35.880 think that

00:27:36.180 was going

00:27:36.460 to happen.

00:27:37.540 So if

00:27:37.860 Vindman

00:27:38.360 had said,

00:27:39.120 for example,

00:27:40.020 if he had

00:27:40.380 said it

00:27:41.460 would be

00:27:41.780 a dictatorship

00:27:42.580 in a

00:27:43.060 year,

00:27:44.400 even people

00:27:45.100 who didn't

00:27:45.420 like Trump

00:27:45.920 would have

00:27:46.200 said,

00:27:46.460 I don't

00:27:47.280 know about

00:27:47.660 that.

00:27:48.400 I don't

00:27:48.640 think it

00:27:48.880 would have

00:27:49.040 been a

00:27:49.300 dictatorship.

00:27:51.020 But if

00:27:51.740 you leave

00:27:52.060 it open

00:27:52.420 and you

00:27:53.280 say it

00:27:54.240 could have

00:27:54.440 been an

00:27:55.180 entirely

00:27:55.580 different

00:27:56.040 country,

00:27:57.380 then everybody

00:27:58.160 who has

00:27:58.840 a fear

00:28:00.040 can fill

00:28:01.500 in that

00:28:01.860 entirely

00:28:02.320 different

00:28:02.760 country with

00:28:03.480 whatever they're

00:28:04.100 afraid of.

00:28:05.700 That's why

00:28:06.400 this is

00:28:06.780 first-rate

00:28:07.360 persuasion.

00:28:10.100 It doesn't

00:28:10.900 look like

00:28:11.340 Vindman would

00:28:12.380 be the kind

00:28:13.220 of person

00:28:14.020 who would be

00:28:14.440 trained to

00:28:15.160 come up with

00:28:15.860 that good of

00:28:17.220 a sentence.

00:28:18.540 It looks like

00:28:19.320 he had help,

00:28:20.040 but that's

00:28:20.440 speculation.

00:28:21.100 CNN just

00:28:26.780 became hilarious.

00:28:28.980 Now, if you

00:28:29.400 didn't see

00:28:29.740 this news,

00:28:30.740 apparently Trump

00:28:31.540 has amassed

00:28:32.220 $100 million

00:28:33.420 in political

00:28:34.580 funds from

00:28:35.900 fundraising,

00:28:37.100 mostly on

00:28:37.900 his claims

00:28:38.480 about the

00:28:39.240 election not

00:28:40.360 being fair.

00:28:43.100 Now, he's

00:28:44.540 got $100 million.

00:28:45.520 I think the

00:28:45.940 next biggest

00:28:47.300 amount that

00:28:48.100 any politician

00:28:49.700 had is Tim

00:28:50.480 Scott, who's

00:28:51.680 got like $8

00:28:52.160 million, like

00:28:53.140 not even

00:28:53.480 close.

00:28:54.680 So, even

00:28:56.780 if it's just

00:28:57.380 money, that

00:28:58.980 is the only

00:28:59.400 way Trump

00:29:00.140 influences

00:29:00.640 things, and

00:29:01.220 of course it

00:29:01.660 will be more

00:29:02.040 than that.

00:29:02.920 But he has

00:29:03.400 so much money

00:29:04.180 to influence

00:29:04.780 things that he

00:29:05.980 can affect

00:29:06.440 races, he

00:29:07.460 can affect

00:29:08.180 Congress, all

00:29:09.660 kinds of

00:29:10.080 stuff.

00:29:11.280 So, CNN

00:29:12.440 just went

00:29:13.120 full panic on

00:29:14.300 Trump, partly

00:29:15.240 because it's

00:29:15.880 good for their

00:29:16.360 business model,

00:29:17.020 but check

00:29:17.860 out the

00:29:20.080 Fox News

00:29:21.320 website front

00:29:22.920 page, and

00:29:24.060 then see what

00:29:24.540 stories they're

00:29:25.160 covering, and

00:29:26.320 then go to

00:29:26.740 CNN and

00:29:27.580 look at just

00:29:28.020 all the

00:29:28.340 headlines and

00:29:29.220 see what

00:29:29.520 they're covering

00:29:29.980 today.

00:29:31.080 It's not

00:29:31.460 even the

00:29:31.760 same planet.

00:29:33.180 Now, it's

00:29:34.240 common that

00:29:34.900 they cover the

00:29:35.600 news differently.

00:29:37.040 That's the

00:29:37.460 most common

00:29:37.960 thing.

00:29:38.600 But they

00:29:38.920 usually at

00:29:39.440 least are

00:29:39.720 talking about

00:29:40.180 the same

00:29:40.580 stories.

00:29:42.800 CNN isn't

00:29:43.500 even on the

00:29:44.000 same stories

00:29:44.740 because they've

00:29:45.900 decided that the

00:29:46.680 return of

00:29:47.240 Trump is

00:29:48.380 the only

00:29:49.740 story.

00:29:50.880 So, let me

00:29:51.380 give you an

00:29:51.740 idea of some

00:29:52.400 of the

00:29:52.560 things.

00:29:53.380 These are

00:29:53.680 just the

00:29:54.040 headlines just

00:29:55.700 from today on

00:29:57.760 the CNN

00:29:58.260 website, and

00:29:59.120 Fox doesn't

00:29:59.700 have any of

00:30:00.160 this yet.

00:30:01.640 So, just

00:30:02.420 from today.

00:30:03.840 Trump's

00:30:04.320 $100 million

00:30:05.060 threat to

00:30:06.000 democracy.

00:30:07.760 No, he

00:30:08.300 hasn't raised

00:30:10.360 $100 million

00:30:11.040 for his

00:30:12.100 political

00:30:12.680 preferences.

00:30:13.900 It's a

00:30:14.320 $100 million

00:30:14.840 threat to

00:30:16.180 democracy.

00:30:17.640 Democracy

00:30:18.120 itself is

00:30:18.880 going to

00:30:19.060 be attacked

00:30:19.580 with Trump's

00:30:20.760 $100 million.

00:30:22.320 So, that's

00:30:22.800 a CNN

00:30:23.320 headline.

00:30:25.100 Here's the

00:30:25.660 funniest one,

00:30:26.380 and I didn't

00:30:26.800 click the

00:30:27.220 article to

00:30:27.760 read it, so

00:30:28.760 I don't know

00:30:29.360 what the

00:30:29.600 article said,

00:30:30.800 but I do

00:30:31.820 know what the

00:30:32.220 article said.

00:30:33.460 And I'm

00:30:33.720 going to

00:30:33.860 read you the

00:30:34.300 headline, and

00:30:35.500 you also

00:30:36.020 didn't read

00:30:36.560 the article,

00:30:37.720 but you

00:30:38.240 know what

00:30:38.540 the article

00:30:38.920 says.

00:30:39.580 Okay?

00:30:40.340 Here's the

00:30:40.740 headline.

00:30:41.060 She survived

00:30:42.900 attack by

00:30:43.680 Jonestown cult

00:30:45.000 members.

00:30:46.200 Hear what

00:30:46.620 she says

00:30:47.060 about Trump.

00:30:49.400 That's an

00:30:50.080 actual headline

00:30:51.120 on CNN.

00:30:53.200 She survived

00:30:54.200 the Jonestown

00:30:55.000 cult members.

00:30:56.080 Hear what

00:30:56.480 she says

00:30:56.860 about Trump.

00:30:57.480 Now, if

00:31:00.040 this is not

00:31:00.600 CNN becoming

00:31:01.480 a parody of

00:31:02.260 itself, I

00:31:02.880 don't know

00:31:03.140 what is, but

00:31:03.840 here's another

00:31:04.240 one.

00:31:05.420 The disgraced

00:31:06.420 ex-president is

00:31:07.840 raising enormous

00:31:08.680 sums on the

00:31:09.420 power of a

00:31:10.140 lie that

00:31:11.220 is fundamentally

00:31:12.040 altering

00:31:12.720 politics.

00:31:14.440 The disgraced

00:31:15.520 ex-president.

00:31:18.160 Disgraced

00:31:18.800 ex-president.

00:31:20.320 Can't you

00:31:21.100 say that

00:31:21.460 about everybody?

00:31:23.460 Couldn't

00:31:23.760 you say the

00:31:25.100 disgraced

00:31:25.860 current

00:31:26.400 president?

00:31:27.880 You just

00:31:28.280 throw in

00:31:28.620 that disgraced

00:31:29.400 part, and

00:31:30.240 people will

00:31:30.680 accept it

00:31:31.180 uncritically.

00:31:32.940 I'm going

00:31:33.500 to start

00:31:34.120 throwing in

00:31:34.640 disgraced

00:31:35.460 every time

00:31:36.100 I talk

00:31:36.420 about a

00:31:36.740 politician.

00:31:37.200 So the

00:31:39.420 disgraced

00:31:40.960 Nancy Pelosi

00:31:43.640 was talking

00:31:45.260 to the

00:31:45.760 disgraced

00:31:46.620 Joe

00:31:48.580 Manchin.

00:31:49.280 I don't

00:31:49.500 know, just

00:31:49.840 throw in

00:31:50.120 anybody.

00:31:50.840 Joe

00:31:51.020 Manchin's

00:31:51.440 not disgraced,

00:31:52.880 but we'll

00:31:53.220 just throw in

00:31:53.660 disgraced,

00:31:55.000 make you think

00:31:55.520 that's a

00:31:55.900 fact.

00:31:56.800 All right.

00:31:58.400 Here's another

00:31:59.200 one from

00:32:00.040 CNN Headlines.

00:32:01.380 Video shows

00:32:02.340 Texas family

00:32:03.300 pleading with

00:32:04.560 officer on

00:32:05.480 top of

00:32:06.040 black teen.

00:32:07.200 Is it

00:32:10.120 my imagination

00:32:11.040 or did

00:32:12.560 we have

00:32:13.040 an absence

00:32:13.720 of police

00:32:15.260 officers on

00:32:16.860 the backs

00:32:17.360 of black

00:32:17.920 teens for

00:32:19.740 several months

00:32:20.500 during the

00:32:21.240 first part of

00:32:22.220 the Biden

00:32:22.580 administration?

00:32:24.420 But now,

00:32:25.620 as soon as

00:32:26.300 Trump is back

00:32:27.080 in the news,

00:32:28.500 there's a

00:32:29.500 cop on a

00:32:30.060 black kid's 0.77

00:32:30.580 back.

00:32:32.100 Just right

00:32:33.520 when you'd

00:32:35.140 expect it.

00:32:35.740 the moment

00:32:37.220 that Trump

00:32:41.040 is a

00:32:42.500 fear,

00:32:43.860 well, there's

00:32:44.420 a cop on

00:32:45.060 a black

00:32:45.520 person's

00:32:46.020 back.

00:32:47.100 Happened

00:32:47.620 right on

00:32:48.020 time.

00:32:49.800 Which, by

00:32:50.560 the way,

00:32:51.940 just to be

00:32:53.000 clear,

00:32:54.780 any of this

00:32:56.300 stuff is a

00:32:56.840 tragedy, so I'm

00:32:57.640 not making fun

00:32:58.260 of the event

00:32:58.860 itself.

00:32:59.380 I'm just

00:33:01.000 making fun of

00:33:01.560 CNN for

00:33:02.400 discovering

00:33:03.260 certain kinds

00:33:04.540 of stories

00:33:05.040 just when

00:33:05.760 they need

00:33:06.040 to be

00:33:06.280 discovered.

00:33:08.920 Here's

00:33:09.440 another one.

00:33:09.980 Democrats

00:33:10.380 increased

00:33:10.880 pressure to

00:33:11.520 act on

00:33:11.940 eviction

00:33:12.480 moratorium.

00:33:14.240 And one

00:33:14.740 congresswoman

00:33:15.440 slept on the

00:33:16.160 Capitol

00:33:16.420 steps.

00:33:17.660 Now, the

00:33:18.880 Democrats

00:33:19.380 increased

00:33:19.980 pressure to

00:33:20.780 act on

00:33:21.220 eviction

00:33:21.740 moratorium.

00:33:22.440 That sounds

00:33:23.220 kind of dry,

00:33:23.980 doesn't it?

00:33:25.600 Where are

00:33:26.360 words like

00:33:26.880 disgraced and

00:33:28.760 threat to

00:33:29.460 democracy?

00:33:31.560 Well, let me

00:33:32.300 ask you this.

00:33:33.760 If Trump

00:33:34.700 had been

00:33:35.160 president,

00:33:37.140 and let's

00:33:37.740 say Republicans

00:33:38.520 controlled

00:33:39.180 Congress, and

00:33:40.820 we were in

00:33:41.220 the same

00:33:41.560 place we

00:33:42.040 are now,

00:33:43.220 with the

00:33:43.900 moratorium

00:33:45.360 on rents

00:33:47.440 sort of

00:33:48.640 running out,

00:33:50.380 do you

00:33:50.700 think that

00:33:51.060 the news

00:33:51.520 would treat

00:33:52.200 Trump this

00:33:53.400 dryly?

00:33:55.500 I think

00:33:55.920 they'd say

00:33:56.400 Trump is

00:33:57.480 trying to

00:33:57.860 put people

00:33:58.320 on the

00:33:58.640 streets and

00:34:00.060 favor

00:34:00.440 landlords.

00:34:01.640 This would

00:34:01.980 be completely

00:34:02.520 different news

00:34:03.220 if Trump

00:34:03.900 had been

00:34:04.300 president.

00:34:05.280 But as

00:34:05.980 long as

00:34:06.280 the Democrats

00:34:06.800 are in

00:34:07.080 charge, it's

00:34:07.560 just something

00:34:09.280 they're working

00:34:09.660 on.

00:34:10.180 A little

00:34:10.520 headline.

00:34:11.420 Something

00:34:11.660 they're

00:34:11.780 working on.

00:34:13.200 And then

00:34:13.780 there was

00:34:14.040 some mocking

00:34:14.560 of the

00:34:14.920 Arizona

00:34:15.340 audit, of

00:34:16.040 course,

00:34:16.320 because they

00:34:16.580 got to

00:34:16.760 hit that

00:34:17.060 pretty hard.

00:34:20.060 All

00:34:20.260 right, so

00:34:20.920 here's

00:34:22.160 some

00:34:22.420 breaking

00:34:23.740 news

00:34:24.260 from

00:34:26.260 Yossi

00:34:27.040 Gestetner.

00:34:29.540 So I

00:34:30.880 guess this

00:34:31.220 was A.G.

00:34:32.080 Rosen said

00:34:32.780 that back

00:34:33.760 when he

00:34:34.080 was the

00:34:34.760 acting,

00:34:35.260 A.G.,

00:34:36.000 if I got

00:34:36.560 this right,

00:34:37.000 I'm reading

00:34:37.300 it for the

00:34:37.660 first time,

00:34:38.660 said that the

00:34:39.240 DOG will

00:34:39.980 look into

00:34:40.340 allegations in

00:34:41.240 Pennsylvania,

00:34:42.740 but this is

00:34:43.620 what he had

00:34:44.020 said to

00:34:44.340 Trump back

00:34:44.900 in that

00:34:45.160 phone call

00:34:45.560 that was

00:34:45.860 reported.

00:34:46.260 But the

00:34:47.340 DOG can't

00:34:48.900 overturn the

00:34:49.520 results, even

00:34:50.300 if there are

00:34:50.960 issues.

00:34:52.560 To this,

00:34:53.320 Trump said,

00:34:53.940 I don't expect

00:34:54.620 you to do

00:34:55.020 that, overturn

00:34:55.840 the results.

00:34:56.800 Just say

00:34:57.320 that the

00:34:57.620 election was

00:34:58.360 corrupt.

00:35:00.100 So a little

00:35:01.160 clarification

00:35:01.680 there.

00:35:02.180 So Trump

00:35:02.580 was not

00:35:03.100 trying to

00:35:04.280 overturn the

00:35:04.960 results.

00:35:05.920 He was

00:35:06.460 just trying

00:35:06.940 to get

00:35:07.260 them to

00:35:07.640 say that

00:35:08.040 it was

00:35:08.280 corrupt.

00:35:09.460 And I

00:35:10.020 don't think

00:35:10.320 they said

00:35:10.660 that.

00:35:11.640 So I

00:35:13.580 feel like

00:35:13.960 this is a

00:35:14.500 story of

00:35:14.900 everything

00:35:15.180 working the

00:35:15.820 way it

00:35:16.060 was supposed

00:35:16.480 to work.

00:35:18.480 Isn't

00:35:18.740 that weird?

00:35:19.820 What would

00:35:20.200 you hope

00:35:21.420 to happen

00:35:22.120 if, let's

00:35:23.820 say, that 0.63

00:35:24.140 Trump truly

00:35:24.880 believed that

00:35:25.520 the election

00:35:25.900 was stolen?

00:35:26.460 I think

00:35:26.760 that's fair.

00:35:27.840 Don't you

00:35:28.160 think he

00:35:28.480 actually believes

00:35:29.340 it, right?

00:35:30.460 I don't

00:35:30.900 think he's

00:35:31.300 making it

00:35:31.940 up.

00:35:32.800 I think he

00:35:33.340 literally

00:35:33.780 believes it.

00:35:34.900 And he

00:35:35.340 might be

00:35:35.680 right.

00:35:36.020 We don't

00:35:36.300 know.

00:35:37.160 There's no

00:35:37.780 evidence to

00:35:38.340 prove he's

00:35:38.720 right, but

00:35:39.560 there's no

00:35:39.900 evidence to

00:35:40.440 prove he's

00:35:40.800 wrong either.

00:35:42.220 So I'd

00:35:42.940 say that's

00:35:43.340 an unknown.

00:35:44.960 And

00:35:45.300 suppose you

00:35:47.740 had a

00:35:48.420 president who

00:35:49.880 believed,

00:35:50.940 really believed,

00:35:51.760 that the

00:35:52.760 election was

00:35:53.280 corrupt.

00:35:54.300 What would

00:35:54.840 he do

00:35:55.100 about it?

00:35:55.940 What would

00:35:56.520 be the most

00:35:57.120 reasonable thing

00:35:58.020 to do about

00:35:58.540 it?

00:35:59.140 Well, if he

00:35:59.540 really believed

00:36:00.120 it, he would

00:36:01.300 certainly talk

00:36:01.900 about it in

00:36:02.320 public, but he

00:36:03.280 would also talk

00:36:04.440 to his AG and

00:36:05.440 maybe get the

00:36:06.020 attorney general

00:36:06.680 to help out on

00:36:08.540 what he thought

00:36:09.000 was the right

00:36:09.500 thing.

00:36:09.760 Now, again,

00:36:11.860 we're not going to

00:36:12.360 talk about whether

00:36:13.020 it's the right

00:36:13.440 thing, but he

00:36:14.900 thought it was.

00:36:15.660 I think that's

00:36:16.140 fair to say.

00:36:17.340 And then the

00:36:17.760 attorney general

00:36:18.460 just didn't do

00:36:20.380 it.

00:36:21.880 The attorney

00:36:22.520 general said,

00:36:23.200 no, that's

00:36:23.780 apparently said,

00:36:25.140 no, I'm not

00:36:25.520 going to do

00:36:25.840 that.

00:36:26.600 And then he

00:36:27.060 didn't do it,

00:36:28.100 and it was

00:36:28.440 fine.

00:36:29.960 Isn't that

00:36:30.400 exactly the way

00:36:31.120 the system is

00:36:31.720 supposed to

00:36:32.100 work?

00:36:32.960 The president,

00:36:33.980 who legitimately

00:36:34.640 believes there's a

00:36:35.640 big problem,

00:36:36.920 tries to get as

00:36:37.740 many people to

00:36:38.720 get on his

00:36:39.500 side.

00:36:39.960 That's supposed

00:36:40.660 to work that

00:36:41.220 way, right?

00:36:41.760 You get people

00:36:42.380 on your side

00:36:43.020 to help you

00:36:44.040 make your

00:36:44.480 case.

00:36:45.400 This person

00:36:46.040 said, no, in

00:36:46.740 my professional

00:36:47.480 capacity, this

00:36:48.880 would be the

00:36:49.340 wrong thing to

00:36:49.920 do, and then

00:36:50.840 he doesn't do

00:36:51.380 it.

00:36:52.800 Everything about

00:36:53.600 this is something

00:36:54.820 working the way

00:36:55.500 you'd want it to

00:36:56.080 work.

00:36:56.820 Am I wrong?

00:36:58.200 You might not

00:36:59.040 like how things

00:36:59.960 went, but didn't

00:37:01.640 the system work

00:37:02.420 just the way you

00:37:03.240 want it to?

00:37:04.440 People legitimately

00:37:05.440 going after a

00:37:07.140 problem, maybe

00:37:08.480 they're wrong about

00:37:09.180 it being a problem,

00:37:09.860 but legitimately

00:37:10.960 they thought it

00:37:11.660 was a problem

00:37:12.200 and went after

00:37:13.500 it in all the

00:37:14.520 right ways.

00:37:16.280 You know,

00:37:16.520 obviously the

00:37:17.640 protests in the

00:37:18.400 Capitol were

00:37:18.900 out of control.

00:37:20.180 That violence is

00:37:21.040 condemned by

00:37:21.780 everyone.

00:37:23.220 But certainly

00:37:24.020 it makes sense

00:37:24.660 to try to get

00:37:25.580 people involved

00:37:26.240 and get opinions

00:37:27.040 and then the

00:37:28.340 professional whose

00:37:29.360 job it was to

00:37:30.360 be objective

00:37:31.120 said he's not

00:37:32.300 going to do

00:37:32.620 that.

00:37:33.980 That's just

00:37:34.900 what you want.

00:37:36.380 It's sort of

00:37:37.080 like a story

00:37:37.640 about nothing

00:37:38.140 happening.

00:37:39.440 I don't know.

00:37:40.620 So, anyway,

00:37:42.980 CNN's doing

00:37:43.620 the whole

00:37:44.080 Trump is the

00:37:46.240 monster under

00:37:47.400 the bed

00:37:47.800 routine.

00:37:50.060 Rasmussen says

00:37:51.080 that 75%

00:37:52.140 of liberals

00:37:52.760 say you should

00:37:54.360 be required

00:37:54.960 to wear a

00:37:55.580 mask in

00:37:57.320 public even

00:37:58.100 if you

00:37:58.460 already had

00:37:59.100 COVID.

00:38:00.500 So 75%

00:38:01.880 of liberals

00:38:02.360 say you should

00:38:02.960 wear a mask

00:38:03.700 even if you've

00:38:04.840 already had

00:38:06.020 COVID.

00:38:06.940 Now, the

00:38:08.000 latest information

00:38:08.740 is that if

00:38:09.500 you've already

00:38:09.920 had it you

00:38:10.520 can't get

00:38:11.100 it and you

00:38:11.580 can't spread

00:38:12.040 it.

00:38:13.500 75% of

00:38:14.660 liberals think

00:38:16.120 you should

00:38:16.440 wear a mask

00:38:17.300 in the context

00:38:18.840 of you can't

00:38:19.580 get it and

00:38:20.020 you can't

00:38:20.400 spread it

00:38:20.900 according to

00:38:21.820 science.

00:38:24.400 Now, when I

00:38:25.500 say you can't

00:38:26.040 get it and

00:38:26.360 can't spread

00:38:26.820 it, there's

00:38:27.420 always an

00:38:27.820 exception, but

00:38:28.560 exceptions are

00:38:29.500 too small to

00:38:30.120 matter in this

00:38:30.720 case.

00:38:31.940 How do you

00:38:32.480 explain that?

00:38:33.040 Do you

00:38:34.980 think that if

00:38:36.140 all you did

00:38:36.640 is reverse

00:38:37.320 which presidents

00:38:38.300 were saying

00:38:38.920 what, that

00:38:40.500 that would

00:38:40.780 just reverse?

00:38:42.500 Is that

00:38:43.620 based on any

00:38:45.020 kind of

00:38:45.480 science?

00:38:46.700 That's the

00:38:47.360 least scientific

00:38:48.200 thing I've

00:38:48.760 ever seen in

00:38:49.200 my life.

00:38:50.060 But worse,

00:38:51.440 29% of

00:38:52.600 conservatives

00:38:53.220 agree.

00:38:54.840 Almost a

00:38:56.300 third of

00:38:56.800 conservatives

00:38:57.360 also think

00:38:59.020 you should

00:38:59.380 wear a mask

00:39:00.100 if you've

00:39:01.080 already

00:39:01.340 recovered from

00:39:02.080 coronavirus.

00:39:03.820 What's going

00:39:04.640 on here?

00:39:06.580 Seriously,

00:39:07.160 what's going

00:39:07.560 on?

00:39:09.120 I don't

00:39:09.940 understand it.

00:39:11.540 Is it

00:39:12.260 because they

00:39:12.780 don't know

00:39:13.800 the facts?

00:39:16.980 Is it

00:39:17.900 pure

00:39:18.800 brainwashing?

00:39:20.760 Is there

00:39:21.540 no rational

00:39:22.900 thought about

00:39:23.580 this whatsoever?

00:39:25.860 And what

00:39:26.300 news entity

00:39:28.460 is telling

00:39:29.100 them to

00:39:30.040 do this

00:39:30.620 is I

00:39:32.240 don't even

00:39:32.580 think CNN

00:39:33.140 is telling

00:39:33.640 anybody to

00:39:34.120 wear a mask

00:39:34.680 if they've

00:39:35.140 been vaccinated.

00:39:36.060 Are they?

00:39:37.060 Is there

00:39:37.520 some, does

00:39:39.120 Fauci even

00:39:39.680 say that?

00:39:40.280 I mean,

00:39:40.480 Fauci wants

00:39:41.000 everybody masked,

00:39:42.000 but nobody

00:39:42.960 believes him,

00:39:43.580 right?

00:39:44.520 Are they

00:39:45.120 believing

00:39:45.520 Fauci?

00:39:48.120 I don't

00:39:48.760 even understand

00:39:49.340 this.

00:39:49.780 I don't know

00:39:50.080 how you can

00:39:50.460 get this

00:39:50.800 number.

00:39:51.820 So it's

00:39:52.060 sort of

00:39:52.380 mind-bending.

00:39:54.600 So the

00:39:55.040 Arizona State

00:39:55.820 Senate has

00:39:56.660 requested

00:39:57.300 some kind

00:39:58.120 of technical

00:39:58.720 review,

00:39:59.500 sort of an

00:39:59.940 audit of

00:40:01.020 the

00:40:01.240 Dominion

00:40:01.880 systems.

00:40:03.960 Was

00:40:04.520 Dominion

00:40:04.940 software or

00:40:06.000 hardware too?

00:40:07.900 Somebody tell

00:40:08.680 me in the

00:40:09.020 comments,

00:40:09.480 is the

00:40:09.920 Dominion,

00:40:10.620 are they

00:40:10.900 hardware and

00:40:11.480 software or

00:40:12.140 just one or

00:40:12.700 the other?

00:40:13.520 Probably both.

00:40:14.520 I'm seeing both.

00:40:15.400 Thanks.

00:40:16.100 Thank you for

00:40:16.600 that.

00:40:16.840 So they're both

00:40:17.260 hardware and

00:40:17.660 software and

00:40:18.220 they've declined,

00:40:19.100 of course.

00:40:19.640 and they're

00:40:21.500 saying that the

00:40:22.540 people doing

00:40:23.020 the audit are

00:40:24.020 not qualified

00:40:24.820 and therefore

00:40:26.120 why release

00:40:27.300 all their

00:40:27.640 information.

00:40:28.800 And you

00:40:29.100 know what

00:40:29.280 this feels

00:40:29.720 like?

00:40:32.140 I don't

00:40:32.740 want to make

00:40:33.100 too much of

00:40:33.580 the analogy.

00:40:34.460 This is just

00:40:34.920 something that

00:40:35.420 feels like

00:40:35.920 something else.

00:40:36.580 It doesn't

00:40:36.860 mean you

00:40:37.160 should draw

00:40:37.620 a conclusion.

00:40:38.640 But it

00:40:38.940 feels exactly

00:40:39.600 like Trump's

00:40:40.380 taxes,

00:40:40.940 doesn't it?

00:40:42.520 Because the

00:40:43.180 reason that,

00:40:44.920 you know,

00:40:45.100 the obvious

00:40:45.780 thing that you

00:40:46.500 wonder if

00:40:47.680 Trump doesn't

00:40:48.540 want to release

00:40:49.160 his taxes,

00:40:50.520 you say to

00:40:51.020 yourself,

00:40:51.840 well, that

00:40:52.580 means there's

00:40:53.020 a problem in

00:40:53.680 there, right?

00:40:54.700 If you don't

00:40:55.500 want to release

00:40:56.180 your taxes,

00:40:58.240 that's because

00:40:59.540 you know there's

00:41:00.040 a problem in

00:41:00.720 there, something

00:41:01.240 illegal, right?

00:41:02.640 No.

00:41:03.540 No.

00:41:04.420 That's what

00:41:05.020 very inexperienced

00:41:06.700 people think.

00:41:08.000 The reason you

00:41:08.740 don't release

00:41:10.680 your taxes is

00:41:12.160 that people will

00:41:12.800 imagine there

00:41:13.540 are problems

00:41:14.040 in it.

00:41:15.080 If they can't

00:41:15.960 see them,

00:41:16.500 they can't

00:41:17.360 make stuff

00:41:17.900 up based

00:41:18.440 on, you

00:41:18.960 know,

00:41:19.120 anything.

00:41:20.040 They just

00:41:20.360 have to

00:41:20.640 really just

00:41:21.280 purely speculate.

00:41:23.200 But as soon

00:41:23.760 as the actual

00:41:24.620 taxes are

00:41:25.320 available,

00:41:26.540 people are

00:41:27.020 going to

00:41:27.200 look at

00:41:27.500 them, and

00:41:28.300 they will

00:41:28.720 report to

00:41:29.380 you that

00:41:29.680 there's a

00:41:30.040 crime in

00:41:30.500 there, even

00:41:32.160 if there

00:41:32.460 isn't.

00:41:33.600 So there's

00:41:34.120 a 100%

00:41:34.800 chance that

00:41:36.420 bad people

00:41:37.840 will say

00:41:38.560 there is a

00:41:39.120 crime and

00:41:39.600 it's right

00:41:39.900 there in

00:41:40.180 the taxes.

00:41:40.980 You could

00:41:41.280 look for

00:41:41.600 yourself if

00:41:42.200 you had the

00:41:42.600 taxes and

00:41:43.120 you knew

00:41:43.360 what to look

00:41:43.720 for.

00:41:44.700 So the

00:41:45.540 odds of

00:41:46.240 fake news

00:41:46.980 coming out

00:41:48.060 of Trump's

00:41:48.620 tax returns

00:41:49.340 is 100%.

00:41:50.400 It's 100%.

00:41:53.020 You are

00:41:54.080 guaranteed that

00:41:56.180 there will be

00:41:56.640 some, I don't

00:41:57.620 know how many,

00:41:58.700 but there will

00:41:59.160 be some fake

00:42:00.080 news based on

00:42:01.560 Trump's taxes.

00:42:03.700 And it will

00:42:04.160 be, well,

00:42:05.700 in line number

00:42:06.540 17, he clearly

00:42:08.100 did whatever.

00:42:09.640 And then if you

00:42:10.200 ever looked at it,

00:42:10.980 it wouldn't be

00:42:11.460 that or it's

00:42:12.140 out of context

00:42:12.960 or some

00:42:13.440 damn thing.

00:42:14.420 So anybody

00:42:15.560 who argued

00:42:16.620 that Trump

00:42:17.340 should release

00:42:18.300 his taxes

00:42:18.980 if there's

00:42:20.660 nothing illegal

00:42:21.360 in there,

00:42:22.480 don't know

00:42:23.060 anything about

00:42:23.960 the world.

00:42:25.400 That's not

00:42:25.800 how the world

00:42:26.320 works.

00:42:27.420 People are

00:42:27.960 going to find

00:42:28.640 the problem

00:42:29.300 even if it's

00:42:30.320 not there.

00:42:31.900 It doesn't

00:42:32.600 have to be

00:42:33.160 there for

00:42:33.580 them to find

00:42:34.220 it.

00:42:35.560 Have you been

00:42:36.820 alive for the

00:42:37.580 last five years?

00:42:39.020 It doesn't need

00:42:39.700 to be there.

00:42:40.700 He just has to

00:42:41.400 release them.

00:42:42.360 And then

00:42:42.640 they'll say

00:42:43.040 it's there.

00:42:44.100 And half

00:42:44.620 of the country

00:42:45.240 will believe

00:42:46.740 whoever tells

00:42:48.100 them that they

00:42:48.560 looked at it

00:42:49.100 and they said,

00:42:49.700 well,

00:42:49.860 there's a

00:42:50.060 problem there.

00:42:51.500 Now,

00:42:52.080 Dominion has

00:42:52.700 the same

00:42:53.040 freaking

00:42:53.320 problem.

00:42:55.080 Does Dominion

00:42:56.040 have a

00:42:56.640 problem that

00:42:58.280 they're hiding?

00:42:59.980 What do you

00:43:00.580 think?

00:43:01.400 Are they

00:43:01.820 hiding a

00:43:02.420 problem?

00:43:05.700 Can't tell.

00:43:07.020 You know,

00:43:07.260 your suspicious

00:43:08.400 nature is,

00:43:09.180 huh,

00:43:10.080 if somebody

00:43:10.660 doesn't want

00:43:11.220 to be

00:43:11.460 transparent,

00:43:13.300 they're hiding

00:43:13.860 a problem.

00:43:15.320 But imagine

00:43:16.000 if they let

00:43:16.600 all that stuff

00:43:17.260 out.

00:43:18.360 Do you

00:43:18.700 think that

00:43:19.300 there would

00:43:19.940 be a,

00:43:21.380 let's say,

00:43:22.860 a cyber

00:43:23.660 expert who

00:43:25.080 would look

00:43:25.440 at their

00:43:25.760 code and

00:43:26.800 find a

00:43:27.460 vulnerability?

00:43:29.520 Yes.

00:43:30.460 Yes.

00:43:31.440 A hundred

00:43:31.820 percent chance.

00:43:33.320 Even a

00:43:33.840 vulnerability

00:43:34.300 they're not

00:43:35.380 even aware

00:43:35.840 of.

00:43:36.960 If any

00:43:37.860 large,

00:43:38.560 complicated

00:43:39.060 system

00:43:39.720 released

00:43:40.880 all their

00:43:42.280 IP to

00:43:43.160 anybody who

00:43:43.640 wanted to

00:43:43.980 look at

00:43:44.320 it,

00:43:45.000 all of it

00:43:45.840 would be

00:43:46.340 imperfect.

00:43:47.620 People would

00:43:48.020 find bugs

00:43:48.720 all over the

00:43:49.500 place.

00:43:50.220 Every time

00:43:50.720 Windows releases

00:43:52.180 a new

00:43:52.540 release,

00:43:53.900 somebody finds

00:43:54.660 a major

00:43:55.140 security bug.

00:43:56.540 You don't

00:43:56.880 think Microsoft

00:43:57.560 looked at it

00:43:58.280 carefully before

00:43:59.000 they released

00:43:59.560 it?

00:44:00.140 They did.

00:44:01.360 They had a

00:44:01.840 lot of people

00:44:02.380 look at it.

00:44:03.680 And then they

00:44:04.060 released it,

00:44:04.880 and almost

00:44:05.800 every time,

00:44:07.360 some major

00:44:07.980 bug or

00:44:08.640 vulnerability.

00:44:11.480 So you've

00:44:13.640 got this

00:44:13.960 weird situation

00:44:14.880 where

00:44:15.400 Dominion,

00:44:17.320 in order to

00:44:18.100 have the

00:44:18.580 business that

00:44:19.160 they have,

00:44:19.660 they have to

00:44:20.140 convince the

00:44:20.900 public that

00:44:22.300 they're a

00:44:22.700 credible

00:44:23.080 organization with

00:44:24.120 no major

00:44:24.680 problems.

00:44:25.140 Their problem

00:44:27.220 is they can't

00:44:28.900 convince us

00:44:29.520 they're credible

00:44:30.140 if they don't

00:44:31.000 release their

00:44:32.000 code, because

00:44:32.940 there's no

00:44:33.320 transparency,

00:44:33.920 privacy, but

00:44:35.220 they also

00:44:37.080 can't convince

00:44:37.920 us they're

00:44:38.400 credible if

00:44:39.160 they do

00:44:39.740 release their

00:44:40.440 code.

00:44:41.420 They have

00:44:42.100 two ways to

00:44:43.000 lose and

00:44:44.400 no way to

00:44:44.980 win.

00:44:46.800 Just like

00:44:47.520 Trump.

00:44:48.460 If he doesn't

00:44:49.180 release his

00:44:49.680 tax returns,

00:44:50.440 you assume

00:44:50.880 the worst.

00:44:51.780 If he does

00:44:52.380 release his

00:44:53.040 tax returns,

00:44:54.280 fake news

00:44:54.900 will tell you

00:44:55.380 the worst,

00:44:56.460 even if it's

00:44:57.020 not there.

00:44:58.100 Just like

00:44:58.780 Dominion.

00:44:59.780 You're going

00:45:00.200 to find all

00:45:00.720 kinds of

00:45:01.120 problems there,

00:45:01.820 even if there

00:45:02.320 aren't any.

00:45:02.700 It doesn't

00:45:04.020 matter if

00:45:04.360 there's a

00:45:04.660 problem there.

00:45:05.320 Oh, we'll

00:45:05.620 find one.

00:45:06.880 And it

00:45:07.200 will be

00:45:07.540 probably along

00:45:08.580 the lines

00:45:09.080 of, well,

00:45:10.340 there's this

00:45:10.780 vulnerability.

00:45:12.280 We don't

00:45:12.880 have any way

00:45:13.480 of knowing

00:45:13.860 it was

00:45:14.200 exploited, but

00:45:16.160 it's there.

00:45:17.820 So was it

00:45:19.340 a fair

00:45:19.620 election?

00:45:20.520 We can't

00:45:21.200 know.

00:45:22.760 We can't

00:45:23.380 know, because

00:45:24.980 you can't

00:45:25.400 tell.

00:45:27.020 And I've

00:45:27.840 said this

00:45:28.140 before, if

00:45:28.620 you have a

00:45:29.400 system that's

00:45:30.140 unauditable for

00:45:31.800 any reason,

00:45:32.700 you didn't

00:45:33.620 really have an

00:45:34.120 election.

00:45:35.540 Let me say

00:45:36.200 that again.

00:45:37.440 If your

00:45:37.860 election is

00:45:38.700 unauditable for

00:45:40.420 any reason, and

00:45:41.840 ours are, because

00:45:42.920 there's no audit of

00:45:44.220 the hardware and

00:45:45.460 software component,

00:45:46.700 if you haven't

00:45:47.240 done that, you

00:45:47.880 haven't really done

00:45:48.480 the audit.

00:45:49.300 You can look at

00:45:50.240 corners of

00:45:51.520 things.

00:45:52.700 You can count a

00:45:53.860 lot of things,

00:45:54.540 check ballots,

00:45:55.280 whatever.

00:45:55.980 But if you

00:45:56.400 haven't checked

00:45:56.860 the electronic

00:45:57.520 systems, I don't

00:45:58.680 know that you

00:45:59.200 audited.

00:46:00.040 And therefore,

00:46:00.540 it's not even a

00:46:01.660 real election,

00:46:02.460 in my opinion.

00:46:04.200 It's just

00:46:04.620 something happened

00:46:05.640 and a president

00:46:06.340 took office.

00:46:08.040 Was it an

00:46:08.680 election?

00:46:09.180 We don't

00:46:09.520 know.

00:46:10.680 If we could

00:46:11.700 audit it, we

00:46:12.360 would know.

00:46:13.360 But we

00:46:13.760 can't.

00:46:14.620 We can't

00:46:15.160 audit it.

00:46:19.460 In the

00:46:20.040 comments, you

00:46:20.820 suggested long

00:46:21.680 ago we should

00:46:22.380 give up the

00:46:23.020 right of privacy

00:46:23.860 to allow the

00:46:25.420 audit.

00:46:25.760 Yeah, that

00:46:26.120 would help.

00:46:26.520 I mean, I

00:46:28.800 don't know if

00:46:29.400 you have to

00:46:29.680 give up the

00:46:30.120 right of privacy

00:46:30.860 or would you?

00:46:35.280 Because all you

00:46:35.800 really need is for

00:46:36.820 everybody to be

00:46:37.580 able to check

00:46:38.020 their own vote.

00:46:39.340 Does that give

00:46:39.880 up the right of

00:46:41.320 privacy?

00:46:42.240 Because I could

00:46:42.960 imagine that you

00:46:43.740 would have maybe

00:46:44.820 a code that only

00:46:45.980 you knew that's

00:46:47.600 matched with the

00:46:48.280 code in the

00:46:49.580 database so you

00:46:50.720 could check your

00:46:51.400 code against the

00:46:52.260 database to see if

00:46:53.160 you voted.

00:46:53.900 You'd still be

00:46:54.500 anonymous or

00:46:56.280 would that be too

00:46:56.980 much of a

00:46:57.440 vulnerability?

00:46:59.300 Somebody says

00:46:59.900 you can do this

00:47:00.520 in Colorado, so

00:47:01.500 apparently it's

00:47:02.320 doable.

00:47:05.820 Yeah, and it's

00:47:06.600 not like everybody

00:47:07.280 has to do it.

00:47:08.000 You just have to

00:47:08.540 have enough people

00:47:09.220 do it to catch

00:47:11.680 any fraud.

00:47:13.700 All right.

00:47:15.940 Let's see what

00:47:16.600 else we got going

00:47:17.320 on here.

00:47:20.500 AOC is

00:47:21.540 threatening to

00:47:22.140 kill the

00:47:22.520 infrastructure bill.

00:47:24.500 Now, I made a

00:47:25.380 prediction that the

00:47:27.780 infrastructure bill

00:47:28.800 is just going to

00:47:29.400 be sort of the

00:47:31.180 forever, never

00:47:31.940 done bill.

00:47:33.120 Now, I don't

00:47:33.420 know how long

00:47:33.920 forever goes, but

00:47:35.620 every time you see

00:47:37.560 a headline that

00:47:38.140 says, it looks

00:47:39.160 like we've got a

00:47:39.820 breakthrough on the

00:47:40.900 infrastructure bill.

00:47:42.500 Looks like we've

00:47:43.120 got some bipartisan

00:47:44.100 movement now.

00:47:46.720 No.

00:47:48.240 Every time you see

00:47:49.320 anything about

00:47:49.960 infrastructure about

00:47:51.880 ready to get

00:47:52.580 signed, a little

00:47:54.020 recording in the

00:47:54.780 back of your

00:47:55.200 head, she'd 0.98

00:47:55.620 say, probably

00:47:56.840 not.

00:47:58.220 So, so AOC is

00:48:02.260 threatening to kill

00:48:03.040 the bill with

00:48:03.740 her, with her

00:48:05.120 pack of people

00:48:05.980 who agree with

00:48:06.700 her, based on the

00:48:08.120 fact that it's not

00:48:09.280 liberal enough in

00:48:10.960 the sense that it

00:48:11.560 doesn't have enough

00:48:12.260 goodies in there.

00:48:18.040 Dominion, yeah,

00:48:19.260 dominion means

00:48:20.040 sovereignty over,

00:48:21.700 which is an

00:48:22.440 unfortunate name

00:48:23.180 for a voting

00:48:24.660 company.

00:48:29.100 Electric

00:48:29.660 helicopters.

00:48:31.920 Oh, there's

00:48:32.540 somebody's, really?

00:48:34.520 Electric helicopters?

00:48:36.260 I can't wait for my

00:48:37.480 electric helicopter.

00:48:41.280 All right, so

00:48:42.420 that's all I got for

00:48:43.180 today.

00:48:43.760 Not much happening

00:48:44.540 there.

00:48:46.480 And just go look at

00:48:47.300 your comments for

00:48:47.900 a moment, see if

00:48:49.120 there's anything I

00:48:49.680 missed.

00:48:51.260 Prediction on the

00:48:51.960 governor's race.

00:48:53.080 You know, I need to

00:48:53.820 check in on the

00:48:54.560 polls.

00:48:54.980 I haven't seen any

00:48:55.560 polls of California's

00:48:57.040 governor race, the

00:48:59.120 recall race.

00:49:00.400 I don't know if

00:49:01.440 Larry Elder is within

00:49:02.560 striking distance or

00:49:03.960 not, but I'll check

00:49:04.800 into that.

00:49:07.260 Yeah, I decided to

00:49:09.200 go a whole day

00:49:09.720 without talking about

00:49:10.520 Bill Maher.

00:49:13.480 Larry Elder has

00:49:14.360 16%.

00:49:15.480 But that's, but

00:49:18.880 once it gets down

00:49:20.060 to, I'm not sure

00:49:21.880 how the election,

00:49:22.920 the recall works,

00:49:24.320 but once you feel

00:49:25.860 it's really between

00:49:26.600 two people, that's

00:49:27.900 when it gets

00:49:28.320 interesting.

00:49:34.020 It's not

00:49:34.740 vulnerable,

00:49:36.240 somebody's saying.

00:49:37.760 Take it from an 0.97

00:49:43.820 aeronautical

00:49:44.440 engineer, electric

00:49:45.840 helicopters, air

00:49:46.900 taxis are not going

00:49:47.780 to happen soon.

00:49:49.020 Well, Stephen, I'm

00:49:51.980 going to disagree with

00:49:53.000 you there about

00:49:54.900 electric airplanes and

00:49:56.160 electric taxis.

00:49:57.380 Because the only

00:49:58.360 gaining factor is the

00:50:00.100 battery capacity and

00:50:02.180 weight, right?

00:50:02.920 battery capacity and

00:50:04.980 weight are reaching

00:50:07.060 some critical

00:50:08.740 crossover points.

00:50:11.160 So I think we're

00:50:11.640 really close to the

00:50:12.500 crossover where the

00:50:14.080 battery technology is

00:50:15.360 good enough, but it

00:50:16.280 has never been.

00:50:17.300 It has never been

00:50:18.340 good enough up to

00:50:19.740 this point.

00:50:21.840 Yeah, so the weight

00:50:23.020 of the batteries is

00:50:25.340 going to be a big

00:50:25.880 deal.

00:50:28.480 Somebody says

00:50:29.240 airlines are

00:50:29.840 actually ordering

00:50:30.700 electric planes for

00:50:32.380 delivery years out.

00:50:33.760 I'll bet that's

00:50:34.220 true.

00:50:36.460 The lightest electric

00:50:37.720 car is over a ton,

00:50:40.320 somebody says.

00:50:43.900 What's the breaking

00:50:44.740 news?

00:50:45.200 It wasn't breaking.

00:50:46.020 It was just an

00:50:47.660 update on the, what

00:50:50.140 Trump said to the

00:50:51.760 attorney general back

00:50:54.820 in the day.

00:51:02.380 one flight around a

00:51:03.560 Tesla tower and

00:51:04.420 it's fully charged?

00:51:05.960 Yeah, I don't think

00:51:06.760 so.

00:51:09.440 What's the smallest

00:51:10.340 a nuclear reactor can
