Transcript

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00:01:19.320 Something's out of date.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.
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.
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
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,
00:04:10.160 uh, she made history because she'll be the first openly transgender female athlete to compete
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:24:47.180 be destroying
00:24:48.000 itself.
00:24:48.420 China is
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
