Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1466 Scott Adams： Hunter's Many Lost Laptops, China Psyops and Lots More

00:00:00.000 Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.

00:00:02.340 Bum, bum, bum, bum.

00:00:04.380 La, da, da, da, da.

00:00:06.040 Hey, everybody. It's time.

00:00:08.060 Time for the best part of the day.

00:00:10.120 The highlight of your entire 24 hours.

00:00:14.240 It's called Simultaneous Sip and Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:16.900 And aren't you glad you're here?

00:00:18.860 Yeah, you are.

00:00:20.580 And all you need to make this extra special

00:00:23.220 is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein,

00:00:26.100 a canteen jug or flask.

00:00:27.760 A vessel of any kind.

00:00:28.920 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:29.920 I like coffee.

00:00:31.700 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:00:34.880 The dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:36.000 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:38.300 It's called the Simultaneous Sip.

00:00:40.980 And it's coming at you right now.

00:00:42.620 Go.

00:00:48.000 Well, the first thing we're going to do

00:00:49.600 is kill the feed from locals

00:00:52.740 because we, again, have a crackle.

00:00:55.880 So, bear with me one moment

00:01:00.180 while the locals people get rebooted here.

00:01:02.900 We'll see if we can make that work.

00:01:05.260 Turn off all my devices.

00:01:06.880 And when these devices get turned back on,

00:01:15.500 there's a reasonably good chance it might work.

00:01:18.480 Let's see.

00:01:20.820 Something about booting and rebooting

00:01:22.600 that seems to make a difference.

00:01:24.060 Sorry about that.

00:01:24.860 All right.

00:01:30.160 Nope.

00:01:30.900 That's not it.

00:01:34.920 All right.

00:01:35.500 It looks like

00:01:36.060 it looks like we're maybe not going to be working

00:01:41.140 on

00:01:41.900 the platform.

00:01:44.560 Let's see.

00:01:45.220 Hold on just a second.

00:01:46.880 Hold on.

00:01:47.660 Hold on.

00:01:47.720 That's the first time that's happened.

00:01:57.020 All right.

00:01:57.760 One moment,

00:01:58.420 and this will be working like crazy.

00:02:01.300 I promise you.

00:02:02.700 You know,

00:02:02.960 the problem with the live streams,

00:02:04.180 I've said this before,

00:02:05.300 is that

00:02:06.420 you can't really get a platform

00:02:09.060 that will work twice in a row.

00:02:12.140 And it looks like the locals platform

00:02:13.820 is not working today.

00:02:14.940 So unfortunately,

00:02:16.660 I won't be able to

00:02:17.500 to stream on there.

00:02:19.740 So I'll stream only on

00:02:21.020 YouTube today.

00:02:23.380 Fake news of the day.

00:02:26.220 Arnold Schwarzenegger

00:02:27.620 is quoted as saying,

00:02:30.100 talking about wearing

00:02:31.020 masks,

00:02:32.360 oh,

00:02:32.520 vaccinations,

00:02:33.300 I think.

00:02:34.340 And Arnold said,

00:02:35.420 screw your freedoms.

00:02:37.440 Get the vaccination.

00:02:39.480 So how was that reported?

00:02:42.120 It was reported

00:02:43.460 as though Arnold Schwarzenegger

00:02:46.080 doesn't like freedom.

00:02:47.400 I don't think so.

00:02:49.340 I don't think that's the case.

00:02:51.520 I believe that Arnold Schwarzenegger

00:02:53.260 actually likes freedom.

00:02:55.360 And the context,

00:02:57.480 of course,

00:02:57.820 is that there's no such thing

00:02:59.240 as absolute freedom.

00:03:01.800 The context is

00:03:04.500 you can't yell

00:03:05.240 fire in a grounded theater.

00:03:07.840 You know,

00:03:08.000 that would be one kind of freedom.

00:03:09.460 You're not allowed to

00:03:10.540 drink as much as you want

00:03:12.320 and drive your car.

00:03:14.000 You're not allowed to,

00:03:15.180 I don't know,

00:03:16.420 you're not allowed to do

00:03:17.300 lots of things

00:03:18.080 and fly a plane.

00:03:20.200 So,

00:03:20.580 do we have freedom

00:03:21.840 in this country?

00:03:23.240 And the answer is,

00:03:24.480 no.

00:03:25.340 No.

00:03:25.800 We don't have freedom

00:03:26.780 when our freedom

00:03:28.120 would impinge

00:03:28.900 on other people's

00:03:29.980 health and safety

00:03:30.860 and happiness.

00:03:32.040 We've never had that.

00:03:33.560 So Arnold is simply

00:03:34.700 making a statement

00:03:35.680 which 100%

00:03:36.660 of the world agrees with.

00:03:39.000 I mean,

00:03:39.380 he just does it

00:03:39.920 in his colorful Arnold way

00:03:41.460 when he says,

00:03:42.200 screw your freedoms

00:03:42.920 and that gets a lot of press.

00:03:44.780 But he's not disagreeing

00:03:46.560 with anything

00:03:47.020 that anybody says.

00:03:48.980 To imagine that

00:03:50.320 he's saying something

00:03:51.160 you don't agree with?

00:03:53.400 No.

00:03:54.700 Fake news number two.

00:03:57.000 There was a story

00:03:57.980 about a sheriff

00:03:59.180 who just came in contact

00:04:01.360 with some fentanyl

00:04:02.660 as part of his work

00:04:04.420 and had an overdose

00:04:07.280 and almost died.

00:04:08.000 just from coming

00:04:09.540 in contact

00:04:10.320 with fentanyl.

00:04:11.740 And then today

00:04:12.200 the AP does a fact check

00:04:13.440 and says,

00:04:14.520 experts say you're

00:04:15.400 highly unlikely

00:04:16.240 to OD on fentanyl

00:04:17.760 just by being

00:04:18.960 near the drug

00:04:19.800 after a misleading

00:04:21.600 video claimed

00:04:22.360 that it happened

00:04:22.920 to a San Diego

00:04:23.680 sheriff.

00:04:25.880 And now the sheriff

00:04:26.960 acknowledges that he,

00:04:28.260 not a doctor,

00:04:29.140 concluded that it

00:04:30.040 was an overdose.

00:04:30.680 Now,

00:04:32.640 if this fact check

00:04:34.460 is true,

00:04:35.840 has everything

00:04:36.580 that I've been hearing

00:04:37.360 up to this point

00:04:38.160 been not true?

00:04:40.000 Have you not heard

00:04:41.000 the stories

00:04:41.520 of the drug-sniffing dogs

00:04:44.220 that have to be

00:04:45.120 taken out

00:04:47.260 after a certain

00:04:48.220 amount of time

00:04:48.700 because they can

00:04:49.200 sniff fentanyl

00:04:49.920 and just die?

00:04:51.980 Haven't we seen this?

00:04:53.900 Don't we know,

00:04:54.680 for example,

00:04:55.180 that people who

00:04:55.960 press the pills,

00:04:57.680 you know,

00:04:57.860 they put the fentanyl

00:04:59.120 into the actual

00:05:00.620 finished product,

00:05:02.000 don't we hear about

00:05:02.780 them dying from

00:05:03.620 breathing this stuff?

00:05:05.120 Is all of that

00:05:05.920 made up?

00:05:07.740 Right?

00:05:08.280 Yeah,

00:05:08.880 I know there's

00:05:09.580 body camera footage

00:05:10.520 and stuff,

00:05:11.340 but we're not

00:05:12.040 talking about

00:05:12.540 whether or not

00:05:13.100 he came in contact

00:05:13.960 with fentanyl.

00:05:14.860 I guess that's

00:05:15.540 for sure.

00:05:16.740 The question is

00:05:17.380 whether the fentanyl

00:05:18.140 is what caused

00:05:18.740 his physical reaction.

00:05:20.920 And I'm thinking,

00:05:21.740 I don't know

00:05:22.600 if I believe

00:05:23.140 this fact check.

00:05:24.700 Do you?

00:05:26.860 Seriously,

00:05:27.340 I've been following

00:05:28.380 this since

00:05:29.340 my steps

00:05:30.060 aren't overdosed

00:05:30.740 in 2018.

00:05:33.020 And are you telling

00:05:33.540 me that every story

00:05:34.600 I've heard about this

00:05:35.740 that you could die

00:05:37.480 from just physical

00:05:38.660 contact with it

00:05:39.660 and breathing

00:05:40.600 in the fumes?

00:05:41.540 All of it's

00:05:42.160 not true.

00:05:44.120 That's what the

00:05:44.660 AP fact check

00:05:45.440 is saying.

00:05:48.040 At the moment,

00:05:48.960 I don't even have

00:05:49.600 an opinion

00:05:50.060 of which one

00:05:51.340 of these is true.

00:05:52.680 But they do say

00:05:53.620 highly unlikely,

00:05:54.760 which suggests

00:05:55.400 it's at least

00:05:56.280 happened.

00:05:57.340 So there's

00:05:58.300 your fake news

00:06:00.560 of the day,

00:06:00.960 but I don't know

00:06:01.440 which is the fake.

00:06:02.880 Is it fake

00:06:03.520 that you can get

00:06:04.260 these overdoses

00:06:05.220 reasonably easily

00:06:06.580 or is it fake

00:06:07.460 that you can't?

00:06:08.800 I don't know.

00:06:10.580 All right,

00:06:10.840 here's one of the

00:06:11.640 most interesting stories

00:06:12.720 that flew under

00:06:13.620 the radar.

00:06:14.400 And I'm going

00:06:14.740 to tie this

00:06:15.300 to another

00:06:17.400 persuasion story

00:06:18.440 that's coming up.

00:06:19.160 So it turns out

00:06:21.400 that if you wanted

00:06:22.100 to fight

00:06:22.920 climate change

00:06:23.860 the way the left

00:06:25.440 would like to do it,

00:06:26.400 the preferred way

00:06:27.260 of the left,

00:06:28.480 what would you

00:06:29.280 have to do?

00:06:30.440 Well, you'd need

00:06:31.140 lots of windmills

00:06:31.960 and you'd need

00:06:33.000 lots of solar panels.

00:06:35.120 Where do you get

00:06:35.720 that stuff?

00:06:37.500 China.

00:06:38.700 So it turns out

00:06:39.800 that the one

00:06:41.000 and only way

00:06:41.600 you can acquire

00:06:44.040 enough green

00:06:45.040 energy-producing stuff

00:06:46.600 to take a whack

00:06:48.100 at climate change,

00:06:49.820 the left-leaning

00:06:51.200 way to do it,

00:06:52.860 you would have

00:06:53.360 to buy massive

00:06:54.280 amounts of stuff

00:06:55.160 from China.

00:06:56.940 Now, what is

00:06:57.460 another thing

00:06:58.080 that even Democrats

00:06:59.640 want?

00:07:00.840 Even Chuck Schumer.

00:07:02.320 Chuck Schumer

00:07:02.880 is one of the

00:07:03.640 leaders of this.

00:07:04.940 They want to

00:07:05.660 buy American.

00:07:08.560 See the problem?

00:07:10.700 The way Democrats

00:07:12.520 want to solve

00:07:13.140 climate change

00:07:13.960 is by violating

00:07:15.240 their other thing.

00:07:16.600 buying American.

00:07:18.080 You can't do both.

00:07:19.440 So you can either

00:07:20.040 buy massive solar

00:07:21.160 panels or you

00:07:23.180 can buy American,

00:07:24.220 which would give

00:07:25.200 you no massive

00:07:26.120 panels because we

00:07:27.300 don't have enough

00:07:27.840 of that stuff.

00:07:29.380 So, Senator Dan

00:07:30.860 Sullivan, a

00:07:31.600 Republican from

00:07:32.220 Alaska, cleverly

00:07:33.820 came up with

00:07:34.400 this amendment to

00:07:36.100 say that renewable

00:07:37.260 energy projects

00:07:38.400 have to buy

00:07:39.240 their, they

00:07:40.660 can't buy their

00:07:41.240 stuff from China.

00:07:44.180 Kind of clever,

00:07:45.260 isn't it?

00:07:45.560 So he's going to

00:07:47.120 make the Democrats

00:07:48.000 vote in favor of

00:07:49.660 buying stuff from

00:07:50.480 China.

00:07:52.440 Kind of forces them

00:07:53.400 in the corner.

00:07:54.240 Now, I don't know

00:07:54.660 if that's just a

00:07:55.460 political thing or

00:07:56.320 if he just thinks

00:07:57.560 it's a good idea to

00:07:58.600 not buy from China,

00:07:59.820 which is a good

00:08:00.740 idea.

00:08:01.760 But you're going to

00:08:03.520 have to pick.

00:08:04.540 Now, remember the

00:08:05.300 story.

00:08:06.400 Remember the story

00:08:07.440 about buying,

00:08:08.940 the only place we can

00:08:09.840 get our green energy

00:08:10.840 stuff, mostly solar

00:08:12.560 panels I think is the

00:08:13.580 biggest category, is

00:08:15.220 from China.

00:08:15.900 Just remember that

00:08:16.580 story and I'm going

00:08:17.300 to tie it together

00:08:17.880 with another one

00:08:18.440 later.

00:08:19.660 But first, there's

00:08:22.260 a new video that's

00:08:23.420 come out showing

00:08:24.340 Hunter Biden on

00:08:25.280 video with some

00:08:26.700 young woman in a

00:08:27.740 hotel room,

00:08:29.080 complaining that

00:08:30.280 Russian drug

00:08:31.340 dealers stole

00:08:32.360 another one of his

00:08:33.520 laptops.

00:08:35.560 He was in a Vegas

00:08:36.640 room in 2018.

00:08:37.680 The claim is that

00:08:39.480 at least three of

00:08:40.900 Hunter Biden's

00:08:42.380 laptops have been

00:08:43.260 stolen and that

00:08:44.900 Russians are

00:08:45.800 implicated in it.

00:08:48.320 Now, if that's not

00:08:49.700 crazy enough, listen

00:08:51.200 to what things he

00:08:52.620 said.

00:08:52.960 He said, they have

00:08:54.020 videos of me doing

00:08:54.920 this, he said,

00:08:56.060 referring to the

00:08:56.680 filmed sex he just

00:08:58.020 finished.

00:08:59.100 They have videos of

00:09:00.280 me doing crazy

00:09:01.120 effing sex,

00:09:02.920 effing, you know.

00:09:03.680 And so Hunter's

00:09:09.220 claim also suggests

00:09:11.380 that there's a

00:09:12.540 foreign intelligence

00:09:13.240 operation running

00:09:14.240 against him.

00:09:16.040 So how many of you

00:09:17.340 have ever lost,

00:09:18.620 let's see in the

00:09:19.260 comments, how many

00:09:20.540 of you have ever

00:09:21.260 lost a laptop?

00:09:25.300 Maybe.

00:09:26.100 Some of you probably

00:09:26.840 lost a laptop.

00:09:28.120 How many of you

00:09:28.900 have ever lost two

00:09:31.060 laptops?

00:09:31.740 Okay, how many of

00:09:34.340 you have ever lost

00:09:35.460 three laptops?

00:09:39.960 How high do you

00:09:41.240 have to be to lose

00:09:43.120 three laptops?

00:09:44.700 For me, after the

00:09:46.020 first two, I'd start

00:09:47.080 getting cautious.

00:09:48.420 But here's the most

00:09:49.320 surprising part.

00:09:51.520 It's not three.

00:09:53.420 Remember when you

00:09:54.160 thought it was one

00:09:54.820 laptop, and then you

00:09:56.280 find out it's three?

00:09:58.160 It's not three either.

00:09:59.440 I found another one

00:10:01.580 of Hunter Biden's

00:10:02.420 laptops in my

00:10:03.720 backyard, and I'm

00:10:05.780 going to tell you

00:10:07.680 its contents on

00:10:09.280 camera right now.

00:10:11.620 This is sort of a

00:10:12.760 Geraldo opening the

00:10:13.840 vault situation.

00:10:15.080 I don't know what

00:10:15.860 I'm going to

00:10:16.720 encounter, but this

00:10:18.300 is the fourth

00:10:19.120 Hunter Biden

00:10:20.020 laptop.

00:10:22.280 Obviously, it's

00:10:23.120 password protected,

00:10:24.400 so bear with me.

00:10:27.080 Maybe this might

00:10:27.460 take a minute to

00:10:28.460 guess the password.

00:10:30.780 Probably has

00:10:31.540 characters and

00:10:32.840 numbers and maybe

00:10:33.720 at least one special

00:10:34.940 character.

00:10:36.260 So I'm just going to

00:10:37.640 pour through this and

00:10:38.580 see if I can get

00:10:39.240 this by brute force.

00:10:41.120 I'm just going to

00:10:41.880 guess what would be

00:10:43.100 a good Hunter Biden

00:10:44.460 password.

00:10:45.340 I'm going to go with

00:10:46.000 how about

00:10:47.660 hookers and

00:10:49.500 cocaine.

00:10:52.420 Hookers and

00:10:53.700 cocaine.

00:10:54.320 69 exclamation

00:10:58.320 point.

00:11:02.780 First try.

00:11:04.360 Well, I thought

00:11:05.640 I was going to be

00:11:06.080 here a while, but I

00:11:06.960 got it on the first

00:11:07.880 try.

00:11:09.240 And I don't want

00:11:10.360 to show you what's

00:11:12.160 on the laptop until

00:11:13.040 I've reviewed it, so

00:11:14.220 if you don't mind,

00:11:15.000 I'll just talk my way

00:11:16.800 through it and let you

00:11:17.620 know what I'm finding

00:11:18.240 here.

00:11:19.500 So it looks like

00:11:20.040 there are a number

00:11:20.520 of videos.

00:11:22.140 Let me review one of

00:11:23.260 these videos.

00:11:26.280 Okay, so it looks

00:11:27.180 like Hunter and

00:11:28.700 some nice young

00:11:29.860 woman are enjoying

00:11:31.700 a vacation of some

00:11:32.620 sort.

00:11:34.160 In a hotel room,

00:11:35.720 I can't tell where,

00:11:38.020 and it looks like

00:11:39.420 there's no AC in

00:11:41.060 the hotel.

00:11:42.100 Hunter looks hot.

00:11:43.120 He's taking off his

00:11:43.840 shirt.

00:11:45.280 That's how hot it is.

00:11:46.640 There's no AC in the

00:11:47.560 hotel.

00:11:47.800 And, well, the young

00:11:50.180 lady is taking off her

00:11:51.180 top as well.

00:11:53.500 There seems to be some

00:11:55.000 kind of baking.

00:11:57.020 It looks like they're

00:11:57.680 going to bake.

00:11:58.920 I know it's some kind

00:12:00.100 of flour, some kind of

00:12:02.600 white powder.

00:12:04.200 And some of it seems

00:12:05.860 spilled on top of the

00:12:07.520 young lady.

00:12:08.480 She should be wiping

00:12:09.440 that off probably with

00:12:10.360 some kind of a towel.

00:12:12.580 Okay, she's not going to

00:12:13.640 use a towel.

00:12:14.920 It looks like Hunter is

00:12:15.760 going to take care of

00:12:16.420 that for her.

00:12:17.580 So he'll probably go

00:12:18.420 get a towel.

00:12:19.560 Okay, he's not using

00:12:20.600 a towel.

00:12:22.200 Well, and now, God,

00:12:27.080 Hunter is very flexible.

00:12:29.260 He's a flexible guy.

00:12:31.580 Yoga, do you think?

00:12:33.100 Maybe yoga?

00:12:35.780 And, whoa, Hunter,

00:12:41.820 yowzer.

00:12:42.460 Or, well, my eyes.

00:12:52.100 Okay, let's put this

00:12:53.500 away.

00:13:02.120 Okay.

00:13:03.880 So, the question I ask you

00:13:06.180 is if, let me ask the

00:13:08.560 question everybody's going

00:13:09.800 to ask, and it goes

00:13:13.060 like this.

00:13:14.420 If Don Jr.

00:13:16.500 lost three laptops,

00:13:19.400 possibly four, to maybe

00:13:22.420 Russian operatives, do you

00:13:24.640 think that would have

00:13:25.200 been a problem?

00:13:26.780 Maybe it would be a

00:13:27.880 front-page news kind of

00:13:30.480 thing?

00:13:32.120 But that's what we know,

00:13:33.500 is that Russia apparently

00:13:35.360 was stealing lots of

00:13:36.900 Hunter Biden laptops.

00:13:38.020 And can't you imagine the

00:13:40.080 actual Russian foreign

00:13:41.740 intelligence people?

00:13:43.660 They'll be like, yeah, we

00:13:46.140 got it.

00:13:46.960 We got Hunter Biden's

00:13:47.940 laptop.

00:13:49.120 And then what does their

00:13:49.880 boss say?

00:13:51.300 One?

00:13:52.360 You only got one of his

00:13:53.620 laptops?

00:13:55.080 And the operative will be

00:13:56.240 like, yeah, but, I mean,

00:13:57.920 seriously, this is good work.

00:14:00.220 We got Joe Biden's son's

00:14:02.940 laptop.

00:14:03.720 It's in our hands.

00:14:04.620 This is good work.

00:14:05.760 And the boss says, but

00:14:08.840 just one.

00:14:10.100 You only got 100 Biden

00:14:12.000 laptop.

00:14:14.040 I can't even give you a

00:14:15.760 raise this year with that

00:14:16.780 kind of performance.

00:14:17.580 So the intelligence guy

00:14:18.800 goes out.

00:14:19.600 They run another operation.

00:14:21.360 They get a second laptop.

00:14:22.560 He takes it back to his

00:14:23.620 boss.

00:14:24.440 Two laptops.

00:14:25.780 Nobody in the history, this

00:14:28.700 is my bad Russian accent, in

00:14:30.380 the history of intelligence

00:14:31.580 operations, nobody has ever

00:14:32.860 got two laptops.

00:14:34.520 Two.

00:14:36.220 And the boss says, two.

00:14:39.240 Two's not bad.

00:14:41.160 I would say that meets

00:14:43.020 expectations.

00:14:44.640 Meets expectations.

00:14:46.260 But we do expect more in our

00:14:48.380 intelligence people.

00:14:49.600 We expect them to excel to more

00:14:52.580 than meet expectations.

00:14:54.860 So try to get that third laptop

00:14:56.400 if you would.

00:14:57.800 Worst boss in the world, but

00:14:59.260 apparently he gets results.

00:15:00.240 The alternative being executed,

00:15:03.960 I imagine.

00:15:05.840 Have you noticed that there's a

00:15:07.900 lot of complicated issues lately?

00:15:12.180 Some of the issues are easy, like

00:15:13.980 Hunter Biden's laptop.

00:15:16.440 Hunter Biden got really messed up

00:15:18.820 and lost the laptop three times.

00:15:21.840 That's pretty easy to understand,

00:15:23.240 but here's some climate, some

00:15:24.920 issues that the public is

00:15:26.820 meant to participate in.

00:15:28.900 Climate change.

00:15:30.500 Is climate change

00:15:31.920 complicated?

00:15:33.640 Is this something that you can do

00:15:34.740 your own research?

00:15:36.320 Get yourself a good answer?

00:15:37.900 It's kind of hard.

00:15:39.120 Kind of hard.

00:15:40.160 How about the pandemic?

00:15:41.840 Is everybody doing their own

00:15:43.040 research and getting the right

00:15:44.020 answer there?

00:15:44.500 Well, they're not getting the

00:15:47.020 same answer.

00:15:48.660 I don't know if it's the right

00:15:49.840 answer, but it's not the same.

00:15:51.320 How about critical race theory?

00:15:54.760 Has everybody done their

00:15:55.780 research?

00:15:56.780 Have you gone to the source

00:15:58.620 materials from decades ago and

00:16:00.940 learned the history of it?

00:16:03.080 No.

00:16:03.720 No.

00:16:04.140 You either like it or you don't.

00:16:05.940 How about artificial intelligence?

00:16:07.620 Going to take over the world and

00:16:09.040 become our masters any day now.

00:16:11.320 A lot of you experts in AI?

00:16:14.600 No.

00:16:15.520 No, we're not.

00:16:16.220 It feels to me that all the big

00:16:20.580 issues, take economics, take the

00:16:23.260 national debt.

00:16:25.480 Is it definitely true that we've

00:16:27.520 crushed ourselves with national debt

00:16:29.360 and we're all doomed?

00:16:31.100 I don't know.

00:16:32.480 Apparently national debt's kind of

00:16:33.900 complicated.

00:16:34.860 It's not like personal debt.

00:16:36.740 There are a lot of moving parts and

00:16:38.500 it depends what other people are

00:16:39.980 doing and what other people expect of

00:16:42.480 the future, et cetera.

00:16:43.440 So we've got all these big issues and

00:16:46.200 we don't understand any of them.

00:16:48.400 We really don't.

00:16:49.820 But yet we're expected to be active

00:16:51.660 parts of the process because it's a

00:16:54.300 democratic-like process that we're

00:16:56.920 in.

00:16:58.160 How are we going to help when we're

00:17:00.580 all just under this weird illusion

00:17:02.160 that we can do our own research and

00:17:03.720 come to good opinions on this stuff?

00:17:06.080 We can't do that.

00:17:07.600 Can't even get close.

00:17:08.480 Well, we have a new category I'm going

00:17:12.060 to call perma-news.

00:17:14.940 News that is the same every day but

00:17:18.300 different.

00:17:19.560 Oh yeah, it's different but it's still

00:17:21.460 the same.

00:17:22.540 Let me give you an example.

00:17:24.320 The infrastructure bill is still moving

00:17:27.640 forward slowly with stops and starts.

00:17:32.980 Do you think I might be able to tell you

00:17:34.640 that same headline tomorrow and the day

00:17:37.160 after, and the day after, and the day

00:17:39.880 after?

00:17:40.580 Yeah, I think I will.

00:17:42.020 It's the permanent news.

00:17:45.920 All right, here was a surprising event.

00:17:49.580 Fox News reporting that one California

00:17:51.880 school district, Paso Robles I think,

00:17:55.580 blocked critical race theory in its

00:17:57.680 classrooms.

00:17:59.660 That's in California.

00:18:00.900 Did you expect a California school board

00:18:04.920 to block critical race theory teaching

00:18:07.060 in school?

00:18:08.460 I did not see that coming.

00:18:10.340 And I'm wondering if this is any kind

00:18:12.780 of indication of a coming trend or not.

00:18:16.100 Because I really would have expected

00:18:17.700 zero schools in California to do that.

00:18:20.780 So one, you know, even though it's just

00:18:22.740 one, still seems significant just because

00:18:27.980 it's California.

00:18:28.600 All right, as you know, I've been sometimes

00:18:33.300 criticized for being critical of studies

00:18:37.160 that don't agree with me, but less critical

00:18:40.460 of studies that agree with me.

00:18:43.960 That's probably true.

00:18:45.220 Part of that reason is that I wouldn't send

00:18:47.320 you a study that agrees with me if I thought

00:18:50.680 it was a bad one.

00:18:51.480 So there's a little bit of filtering going on

00:18:57.300 there.

00:18:58.260 I do see studies that agree with me that

00:19:01.200 are low quality studies, but I don't bother

00:19:03.100 tweeting them because it just works against

00:19:06.060 my own argument.

00:19:07.760 So yes, there's definitely some selection bias

00:19:10.080 going on there.

00:19:11.200 But here's one that I tweeted, a tweet that

00:19:15.400 refers to a bunch of studies that all go against

00:19:19.000 my opinion.

00:19:20.560 So if you're saying to yourself, Scott, why

00:19:23.380 don't you ever tweet something that goes

00:19:26.140 against your opinion if science goes that way?

00:19:29.380 Well, I just did.

00:19:31.080 But like exactly like the science that goes

00:19:34.300 my way, I don't trust it.

00:19:37.160 So I wouldn't trust this, what I'm going to

00:19:39.480 tell you next or anything else basically on

00:19:41.820 this topic.

00:19:43.140 But it's JC Oviedo tweets that an article

00:19:47.380 showing there are 14 randomized controlled

00:19:50.500 trials about masks saying that they're not

00:19:52.940 effective.

00:19:54.940 Do you believe that?

00:19:56.580 Do you believe that at this day, this far

00:19:59.540 into the pandemic, that somebody can organize

00:20:02.320 a tweet or about an article and that the

00:20:05.400 article could run through all these 14

00:20:07.840 randomized controlled trials, the so-called

00:20:10.940 gold standard best kind of test that show that

00:20:14.100 masks don't work?

00:20:15.100 Now, do you believe that?

00:20:21.060 What level of credibility do you put on somebody

00:20:25.140 who you don't know, looked at a bunch of trials

00:20:29.980 that you didn't look at, and came to a conclusion

00:20:33.020 that's opposite every top medical expert collectively?

00:20:39.520 I'm not saying there are no rogues.

00:20:41.460 But collectively, the top experts in every single

00:20:44.480 industrialized country, the top medical experts in

00:20:48.100 every industrialized country disagree with this.

00:20:51.500 But it's very convincing.

00:20:53.580 14 randomized controlled trials?

00:20:56.240 Oh, wait.

00:20:58.120 How could you do a randomized controlled study of the

00:21:01.380 coronavirus during the pandemic?

00:21:03.900 You can't.

00:21:04.840 So these are 14 randomized controlled tests

00:21:08.020 of something else.

00:21:11.000 That's right.

00:21:12.280 Now, is it a test of something else that's close enough

00:21:16.480 that it still tells you something about the coronavirus?

00:21:19.800 It might.

00:21:20.980 It might be close enough.

00:21:22.180 So I tweeted around because I can't personally tell you

00:21:27.020 that there's anything wrong with these studies,

00:21:28.840 except that they're not on the right topic.

00:21:31.380 But they might tell you something.

00:21:33.120 You know, if the mask didn't work for anything ever,

00:21:36.900 that would tell you something, right?

00:21:38.760 Even though it's not exactly the right topic.

00:21:40.440 So I would say that the level of credibility I would put

00:21:45.600 on these 14 randomized controlled trials is low.

00:21:48.980 And here's my biggest question.

00:21:51.820 Did they test a viral load?

00:21:55.900 In other words, could you find out that 100% of the people

00:22:00.020 in a room will get infected whether you have a mask or not?

00:22:05.160 Let's say that's true.

00:22:06.460 Let's say you find out that you put a bunch of people

00:22:08.860 in the room with an infected person

00:22:10.500 and you could do the experiment 1,000 times

00:22:13.880 and every time you did the experiment,

00:22:16.520 the other person in the room wearing a mask got infected.

00:22:19.960 Let's just say you could do that.

00:22:21.860 What would that tell you?

00:22:23.500 Would that tell you that masks don't work?

00:22:25.300 Go.

00:22:26.220 If you could reproduce it infinite times

00:22:28.880 and every single time the person wearing a mask

00:22:31.980 in the same room with the infected person

00:22:34.820 every single time the other person got infected,

00:22:37.240 what would that tell you about the effectiveness of masks?

00:22:41.540 Would that tell you they don't work?

00:22:43.100 Because that would be 100% failure, right?

00:22:45.740 100% failure.

00:22:47.380 Wouldn't that tell you they don't work?

00:22:50.460 Nope.

00:22:51.820 It wouldn't.

00:22:53.400 Why not?

00:22:55.300 Somebody says other variables,

00:22:56.740 but I've intentionally taken out the other variables.

00:23:00.480 So it's an artificial situation

00:23:02.540 in which not really any other variables.

00:23:09.780 Yeah, quit with the either or.

00:23:11.680 Yeah, that's always a problem.

00:23:13.220 Okay, yes.

00:23:13.840 Oh, there we go.

00:23:14.580 Somebody's onto it.

00:23:15.340 JC.

00:23:16.160 Yeah, define worked.

00:23:17.980 Suppose the people who wore the mask

00:23:19.900 got a lower viral load.

00:23:22.620 Do masks work?

00:23:23.880 Did any of the randomized controlled trials

00:23:27.280 test to see if the people who did get infected

00:23:30.140 infected with masks

00:23:31.460 got less infected

00:23:33.160 because their overall load was less?

00:23:36.100 Probably didn't test it, right?

00:23:37.840 So if you're asking me, do masks work,

00:23:40.220 you have to include not just

00:23:41.700 did people get infected or not,

00:23:44.140 you have to test

00:23:45.200 did they get as high a viral load

00:23:47.680 on initial infection

00:23:49.380 because we know that has a huge impact on outcomes.

00:23:52.700 Now, it is not my claim

00:23:56.240 from the beginning

00:23:57.900 that the way masks work

00:24:00.040 is to reduce the viral load

00:24:01.600 but everybody still gets infected.

00:24:03.720 That's not my claim.

00:24:05.140 I'm just saying that this is complicated stuff

00:24:07.340 and if you believe that you can look at this tweet

00:24:09.580 and these studies or anything else

00:24:11.480 and quote,

00:24:12.900 do your own research,

00:24:14.740 how many of you who think you can

00:24:16.720 do your own research

00:24:18.040 would have known to ask the question

00:24:21.200 about whether the viral load

00:24:22.660 was the same,

00:24:23.920 masked or unmasked?

00:24:25.820 Because if you didn't know

00:24:26.680 to ask that question,

00:24:28.860 and most of you probably did,

00:24:29.960 but if you didn't know

00:24:30.720 to ask that question,

00:24:32.600 what good would it do

00:24:33.940 to do your own research?

00:24:35.400 You would be researching

00:24:36.320 basically the wrong questions

00:24:37.880 or incomplete.

00:24:40.180 All right.

00:24:41.360 There's another study.

00:24:42.900 Should we trust this study?

00:24:44.040 No.

00:24:44.560 All studies are subject to

00:24:47.740 low credibility

00:24:50.060 until they're reproduced

00:24:51.220 and peer-reviewed

00:24:52.780 and randomized controlled tests

00:24:54.200 and all that stuff.

00:24:55.020 I think we've learned all that by now.

00:24:56.700 But I'll just tell you about it.

00:24:57.860 There's a study that suggests

00:24:58.960 that how well you do

00:25:01.280 with the COVID-19

00:25:02.300 may have to do with your exposure

00:25:04.300 to prior coronaviruses,

00:25:06.120 different kind of coronaviruses.

00:25:08.200 And it seems to be

00:25:09.140 a pretty strong correlation

00:25:10.320 that if you've been exposed before,

00:25:12.820 you did much better.

00:25:14.040 Do you believe that?

00:25:16.360 Do you believe the exposure

00:25:18.120 to other coronaviruses

00:25:19.720 gives you some protection?

00:25:22.780 And that also makes me

00:25:24.140 ask this question.

00:25:26.380 If the lockdowns

00:25:28.160 and all the mitigation strategies

00:25:30.600 kept us from getting regular colds

00:25:33.760 as effectively as it kept us

00:25:36.820 from getting coronavirus,

00:25:38.280 I've now heard of exactly one person

00:25:40.560 who had a non-coronavirus illness

00:25:43.340 in the past year.

00:25:44.940 Just once.

00:25:45.800 I only know one person

00:25:47.040 who had a sore throat

00:25:48.600 and it wasn't coronavirus.

00:25:50.220 That's it.

00:25:51.080 In a year.

00:25:52.560 Now, what happens

00:25:53.640 if you take all of those

00:25:54.920 protective colds

00:25:57.180 and minor flus or whatever

00:25:58.800 that normally happen every year?

00:26:00.580 What if you take them out of the mix?

00:26:02.740 Wouldn't they be giving people protection?

00:26:06.700 Because we would have been

00:26:08.520 accidentally semi-vaccinating people

00:26:13.320 in a sense,

00:26:14.500 in a figurative sense.

00:26:15.780 We would have been

00:26:16.960 semi-vaccinating the entire public

00:26:20.420 simply by letting them

00:26:22.000 get common colds for that year.

00:26:23.520 But if you don't let them

00:26:25.080 get common colds for a year,

00:26:27.260 we're all virgins, basically.

00:26:30.660 So the last immunity you got

00:26:32.880 was from the last cold

00:26:34.140 and that might have been a while.

00:26:36.860 So there's also a suggestion

00:26:38.200 that if you're around kids,

00:26:39.880 you're more likely to

00:26:41.260 have a good outcome

00:26:43.480 with the coronavirus

00:26:44.140 because you probably got

00:26:45.160 a lot of common colds

00:26:46.320 because kids bring back

00:26:47.480 a lot of illness.

00:26:49.140 There's also a suggestion

00:26:51.380 that maybe the reason

00:26:52.540 that kids don't have

00:26:53.620 bad outcomes

00:26:54.320 is because they've had

00:26:55.920 so many regular colds.

00:26:58.240 Kids get way more

00:26:59.280 regular respiratory problems.

00:27:02.400 So I don't know

00:27:03.020 if this study will hold up,

00:27:04.560 but if it does,

00:27:05.640 that could be a big,

00:27:06.920 big part of the mystery

00:27:08.480 of why some people

00:27:09.980 have good outcomes

00:27:10.700 and some don't

00:27:11.380 and even why the...

00:27:14.360 and especially why

00:27:15.360 any kind of pandemic

00:27:16.320 would ever die out.

00:27:19.140 It might be that

00:27:20.100 the only thing

00:27:20.920 that kills

00:27:21.520 one of these viruses

00:27:23.740 is the common cold.

00:27:28.120 Right?

00:27:29.040 Because if the common cold

00:27:30.280 can give you

00:27:31.360 some kind of immunity,

00:27:32.500 even if it's temporary

00:27:33.460 and even if it's incomplete,

00:27:35.700 it might be the only thing

00:27:36.900 that gets the R under one

00:27:38.440 so that your spread

00:27:39.860 is low enough

00:27:40.480 that it dies out.

00:27:42.700 What if the only thing

00:27:44.520 that works

00:27:45.040 is letting us get

00:27:45.940 other colds?

00:27:46.900 Could you rule that out?

00:27:50.480 That it's the only thing

00:27:51.380 that stops any pandemic

00:27:52.600 is getting related colds

00:27:54.520 and it gives you some stuff.

00:27:56.040 I don't know.

00:27:57.420 One of the things

00:27:58.160 I've noticed

00:27:58.580 with really good disasters

00:27:59.980 is that they breed new words

00:28:02.260 we've never heard before.

00:28:04.060 And apparently

00:28:04.440 there's one fire

00:28:05.300 in California,

00:28:06.540 the Dixie Fire,

00:28:08.240 that's just been going on

00:28:10.040 for a long time now,

00:28:10.880 that is producing

00:28:12.760 a pyrocumulonimbus cloud.

00:28:17.320 A word I've never heard before.

00:28:20.880 Pyrocumulonimbus.

00:28:21.480 So it must be

00:28:22.020 a cloud of smoke, I guess.

00:28:23.660 40,000 feet above

00:28:25.060 the eastern edge

00:28:25.780 of the Dixie Fire.

00:28:27.140 And it's such an intense fire

00:28:28.900 that it's generating

00:28:30.300 something called

00:28:31.120 a fire whirl

00:28:32.580 that shot up

00:28:34.240 like an eerie tendril.

00:28:36.420 So it basically

00:28:37.120 was like reverse lightning,

00:28:39.020 like a fire bolt.

00:28:40.340 going into the sky

00:28:41.760 or something.

00:28:43.860 And I'm thinking

00:28:44.500 when your natural disasters

00:28:46.900 get so intense

00:28:47.900 you have to invent

00:28:48.660 new words for them,

00:28:50.380 that's a pretty bad fire.

00:28:52.020 That's a bad fire.

00:28:53.740 All right.

00:28:54.160 Tying back

00:28:54.680 some other topics here.

00:28:56.320 China psyops.

00:28:58.340 So I saw

00:28:58.800 a Jack Posobiec tweet

00:29:00.340 talking about

00:29:01.040 human events,

00:29:02.920 talking about

00:29:03.300 a Daily Mail story

00:29:04.220 that says that

00:29:05.720 there were

00:29:06.300 some Chinese publications

00:29:07.560 that made up

00:29:09.320 a person.

00:29:10.340 named Wilson Edwards.

00:29:12.900 Now I assume

00:29:13.440 that they just

00:29:13.960 watched American movies

00:29:15.480 and thought Wilson

00:29:16.620 was a popular

00:29:17.800 first name.

00:29:19.400 And so they come up

00:29:21.040 with this

00:29:21.460 generic sounding

00:29:22.840 white guy,

00:29:24.040 Wilson Edwards.

00:29:25.300 That's the whitest

00:29:25.980 sounding generic

00:29:26.760 white guy.

00:29:27.760 So they made this guy up.

00:29:28.940 He didn't exist.

00:29:30.140 And they said

00:29:30.640 that he was

00:29:31.000 a Swiss biologist

00:29:32.220 that said that

00:29:34.520 claiming that

00:29:36.180 the United States

00:29:36.900 was pressuring

00:29:37.600 the World Health

00:29:38.260 Organization

00:29:38.860 into investigating

00:29:39.940 the Wuhan

00:29:40.780 lab leak theory.

00:29:43.380 So I guess

00:29:44.680 there are three

00:29:45.160 publications in China,

00:29:46.340 the People's Daily,

00:29:47.200 China Daily,

00:29:47.920 and CGTN TV,

00:29:49.760 who all quoted

00:29:51.340 this person

00:29:51.940 who doesn't exist.

00:29:54.120 So China

00:29:54.660 literally made up

00:29:56.260 a person

00:29:56.720 and then put that

00:29:58.140 person in the news

00:29:59.200 until that news

00:30:00.560 became international news.

00:30:02.080 Now,

00:30:04.300 that would be

00:30:05.760 an example

00:30:06.220 of a Chinese

00:30:06.960 psychological operation.

00:30:10.120 What other ones

00:30:11.160 have they done?

00:30:12.860 For example,

00:30:13.880 I was on

00:30:15.140 Dr. Drew's show

00:30:16.000 recently

00:30:16.420 and we were talking

00:30:17.660 about the fact that

00:30:18.680 remember the initial

00:30:20.700 January 2020

00:30:23.120 videos of people

00:30:25.500 collapsing in the street

00:30:26.580 in Wuhan?

00:30:28.200 Why don't we know

00:30:29.540 what that was about

00:30:31.080 now?

00:30:32.080 It's been a long time.

00:30:33.920 Obviously,

00:30:34.680 the coronavirus

00:30:35.200 does not make people

00:30:36.480 collapse in the streets.

00:30:38.180 Why did we see

00:30:38.920 video of it?

00:30:40.440 Was that a Chinese

00:30:41.400 operation?

00:30:44.060 Because China

00:30:45.080 never said,

00:30:45.880 hey,

00:30:46.040 that's a fake video.

00:30:47.520 Did they?

00:30:48.520 I think China

00:30:49.420 wants you to believe

00:30:50.200 that those were

00:30:50.860 real video of people

00:30:52.020 falling dead

00:30:53.020 in the streets.

00:30:53.880 But it wouldn't

00:30:54.580 make China look good.

00:30:56.500 But it would

00:30:57.200 certainly scare

00:30:57.900 the crap out of

00:30:58.680 all the other countries.

00:31:00.180 So was it a

00:31:01.000 psychological operation?

00:31:02.240 And if it was,

00:31:03.560 what exactly was

00:31:04.440 the point of it

00:31:05.080 to get the rest

00:31:06.020 of the world

00:31:06.420 to shut down?

00:31:08.220 Because that's

00:31:08.800 what happened.

00:31:09.720 I mean,

00:31:09.940 if that was the

00:31:10.420 point of it,

00:31:10.860 it was kind of

00:31:11.260 brilliant the way

00:31:12.220 it worked.

00:31:13.140 But I don't know

00:31:13.900 that that was

00:31:14.280 the point of it.

00:31:15.060 So here's the

00:31:15.580 question I ask.

00:31:16.320 What other

00:31:16.900 Chinese psychological

00:31:18.700 operations are being

00:31:19.980 run right now

00:31:21.020 that you think

00:31:22.400 are real?

00:31:22.880 Let me suggest

00:31:25.760 some candidates.

00:31:27.680 Now, this is not

00:31:28.900 an assertion of truth.

00:31:30.720 I'm just saying

00:31:31.300 if you were looking

00:31:32.020 to find out where

00:31:33.000 there were some

00:31:33.640 Chinese operations,

00:31:35.420 where would you

00:31:36.120 look for them?

00:31:37.020 Like, what would it

00:31:37.980 look like?

00:31:39.140 I'll give you some

00:31:39.980 candidates.

00:31:41.020 And again, I'm not

00:31:41.760 claiming these are

00:31:42.820 psyops.

00:31:43.920 I'm just saying

00:31:44.500 that they look like

00:31:45.400 it in the sense

00:31:46.260 that that's what

00:31:46.840 you'd expect to see.

00:31:47.740 You saw the news

00:31:50.300 that the judge

00:31:52.020 is allowing Dominion

00:31:53.140 to sue, I guess,

00:31:55.160 Giuliani and Mike

00:31:57.500 Lindell and what's

00:32:02.380 the other lawyer

00:32:03.100 there?

00:32:03.980 So the lawsuits

00:32:05.940 are going forward

00:32:06.640 because they were

00:32:07.240 the ones who made

00:32:07.800 the most outrageous

00:32:09.000 claims about the

00:32:10.080 election being stolen

00:32:11.040 with stories about

00:32:12.760 Venezuelan machines

00:32:15.780 and all kinds of

00:32:16.540 stuff.

00:32:17.740 What are the odds

00:32:18.780 that that didn't

00:32:20.460 come from China

00:32:21.240 or Russia?

00:32:23.400 But let's just use

00:32:24.400 China as our example.

00:32:26.060 Do you think that

00:32:27.040 all of those wild

00:32:28.020 conspiracy theories

00:32:29.180 got to those lawyers

00:32:31.140 just from organic

00:32:33.440 places and they

00:32:36.320 just made a mistake

00:32:37.140 when they did

00:32:37.700 their own research?

00:32:38.820 Or do you think

00:32:39.640 that that was a

00:32:40.320 psyop?

00:32:41.200 Because that would

00:32:42.040 be exactly what

00:32:43.100 China would want

00:32:43.880 to do.

00:32:44.960 China would want

00:32:45.740 us to think our

00:32:46.460 elections were

00:32:47.360 not credible.

00:32:49.300 So that doesn't

00:32:50.000 mean they did it,

00:32:51.340 but since we know

00:32:52.100 that China is

00:32:52.960 actively doing

00:32:53.940 psychological

00:32:55.020 operations,

00:32:56.200 I mean, it's kind

00:32:56.940 of obvious,

00:32:58.480 why wouldn't they

00:32:59.420 have done that?

00:33:01.000 So if they didn't

00:33:02.120 do it, why not?

00:33:03.980 Because it would be

00:33:04.500 the obvious thing

00:33:05.100 to do.

00:33:05.560 We know that they

00:33:06.260 could make up an

00:33:06.880 entire person.

00:33:07.800 This biologist

00:33:08.440 guy, they just

00:33:08.900 made it up.

00:33:10.000 You don't think

00:33:10.800 that they could make

00:33:11.540 up a story about a

00:33:12.800 Venezuelan dictator and

00:33:15.760 stuff.

00:33:16.160 Of course they

00:33:16.680 could.

00:33:17.420 Of course they

00:33:17.980 could make that

00:33:18.460 up.

00:33:19.700 So could have

00:33:20.560 been Russian,

00:33:21.320 could have been

00:33:21.800 China, could have

00:33:22.680 been natural, I

00:33:23.500 don't know.

00:33:24.100 Here's another one.

00:33:25.600 Why is the United

00:33:26.460 States so afraid of

00:33:27.920 nuclear energy as a

00:33:30.280 solution for our

00:33:31.460 energy problems as

00:33:32.500 well as climate

00:33:33.180 change?

00:33:34.100 We know that that

00:33:36.500 point of view doesn't

00:33:37.280 hold up scientifically,

00:33:38.200 but it is a common

00:33:40.040 belief in America.

00:33:41.420 Did that come from

00:33:42.300 America and from

00:33:44.160 people doing their

00:33:44.900 own research?

00:33:46.140 Or is it China who

00:33:48.220 is making America

00:33:49.100 believe that nuclear

00:33:50.440 is not a good idea?

00:33:52.260 Because that would be

00:33:52.880 one of the most

00:33:53.500 clever things China

00:33:54.500 could ever do.

00:33:55.580 Because they're

00:33:55.940 building nuclear

00:33:56.580 plants like crazy

00:33:57.480 there.

00:33:58.400 Obviously they think

00:33:59.260 it's a good idea.

00:34:00.520 But if they could

00:34:01.160 convince us it wasn't

00:34:02.360 a good idea here,

00:34:04.020 that would give them

00:34:04.900 the future.

00:34:05.780 Because they would

00:34:06.240 own space, among

00:34:07.660 other things.

00:34:08.300 You need a nuclear

00:34:09.980 industry to occupy

00:34:11.660 space.

00:34:12.200 So how about, and

00:34:16.240 then earlier I

00:34:17.000 mentioned that the

00:34:18.080 only place you can

00:34:18.880 buy the green

00:34:20.920 energy stuff is in

00:34:22.140 China, the solar

00:34:23.240 panels and stuff.

00:34:24.680 So is it possible

00:34:26.740 that China, much

00:34:28.540 like Trump suggested

00:34:30.060 by calling climate

00:34:31.160 change a Chinese

00:34:32.040 hoax, is it

00:34:33.460 possible that China

00:34:34.880 is stoking our

00:34:36.240 fears in any way

00:34:38.360 to make it more

00:34:41.680 likely we would

00:34:42.520 buy their solar

00:34:43.720 panels and have

00:34:45.720 a not very

00:34:47.160 dependable grid?

00:34:49.420 Now I'm not

00:34:50.020 saying that's the

00:34:50.540 case.

00:34:51.420 So I want to be

00:34:51.980 clear again, I'm

00:34:53.440 not suggesting any

00:34:54.400 of these are

00:34:54.860 psyops, but that's

00:34:57.600 what they would

00:34:58.000 look like.

00:34:59.120 They would look

00:34:59.740 exactly like this.

00:35:01.720 Because it's things

00:35:03.040 Americans believe that

00:35:04.280 aren't true.

00:35:05.960 That are damaging.

00:35:06.980 I don't know, did

00:35:09.540 it come from us or

00:35:10.340 did it come from

00:35:10.760 someplace else?

00:35:11.820 We don't know.

00:35:13.340 All right, in

00:35:13.800 brainwashing news, I've

00:35:16.020 told you that CNN

00:35:16.780 and those who are

00:35:17.920 trying to persuade

00:35:18.660 you, as if they are

00:35:20.340 your doctors, that

00:35:21.720 you should get the

00:35:23.240 vaccinations, etc.

00:35:25.840 And the way that

00:35:27.740 they're going to do

00:35:28.320 it is with visual

00:35:29.520 persuasion and fear

00:35:31.740 and take advantage of

00:35:34.040 the fact that we're

00:35:34.760 bad at math.

00:35:35.560 Because if they show

00:35:37.280 us anecdotal stories

00:35:38.980 of individual people

00:35:40.120 having a bad outcome

00:35:41.180 because they didn't

00:35:41.960 get vaccinated, it's

00:35:43.880 going to scare us.

00:35:45.240 It's going to give you

00:35:45.840 a picture of somebody

00:35:46.840 who's suffering.

00:35:48.620 And it's just strong

00:35:50.820 persuasion, even

00:35:51.620 though it's horrible.

00:35:53.900 So now CNN has a

00:35:56.140 story about the 14

00:35:57.220 year old who spent

00:35:58.560 five days on oxygen

00:35:59.900 after getting COVID.

00:36:01.120 So that's the

00:36:01.860 headline.

00:36:03.260 Headline is five

00:36:04.260 days on oxygen

00:36:05.020 after getting COVID.

00:36:07.320 And what do you

00:36:09.160 think you would

00:36:11.060 see if you looked

00:36:11.760 at the picture?

00:36:13.720 Well, the picture

00:36:14.860 doesn't show what

00:36:16.020 the words show.

00:36:17.400 The picture shows a

00:36:18.740 14 year old who is

00:36:20.000 unfortunately morbidly

00:36:21.180 obese.

00:36:22.560 That's not mentioned

00:36:23.620 in the text.

00:36:24.980 Again, you see this

00:36:26.960 pattern over and over

00:36:28.220 and over again.

00:36:29.140 They'll show somebody

00:36:29.960 morbidly obese, in this

00:36:31.420 case a 14 year old,

00:36:32.440 and showing them

00:36:33.780 having a hard time

00:36:34.780 on the COVID.

00:36:35.860 And never mention

00:36:36.640 that the weight is

00:36:37.460 part of that equation.

00:36:40.320 And again, I'm not

00:36:42.240 doing fat shaming.

00:36:43.180 We don't do that.

00:36:44.580 That's, you know, I

00:36:46.100 disavow all fat shaming

00:36:47.740 on every level.

00:36:48.960 But when you talk

00:36:50.560 about health outcomes,

00:36:52.000 you just can't lie to

00:36:53.340 the public like this.

00:36:55.020 This is a lie.

00:36:56.780 It's a lie.

00:36:57.620 Because she was having

00:36:58.900 a problem with weight

00:37:00.060 plus COVID.

00:37:02.000 That was her problem.

00:37:03.840 Weight plus COVID.

00:37:06.420 And it's being told

00:37:07.460 as a COVID story.

00:37:09.060 And that's just fake news.

00:37:10.960 But it's fake news

00:37:12.000 and what they think,

00:37:12.980 I guess, is in the

00:37:14.380 service of the country

00:37:15.540 because it'll get us

00:37:16.260 more vaccinations.

00:37:17.160 So that is my

00:37:26.380 content for today.

00:37:29.080 I hope some of the

00:37:30.440 folks from Locals

00:37:33.320 knew to jump over here

00:37:34.620 onto YouTube.

00:37:36.100 The Locals live stream

00:37:37.200 is still in beta.

00:37:39.320 So it's not available

00:37:40.200 to all the creators yet.

00:37:41.820 So when we get

00:37:42.580 little hiccups like this,

00:37:44.140 that's part of the beta test.

00:37:45.160 So the reason I'm

00:37:47.160 testing it is to find

00:37:48.100 out if it has

00:37:49.420 these problems.

00:37:50.760 But it's been a great

00:37:51.540 product so far

00:37:52.280 with a few hiccups.

00:37:57.280 Mike Lindell is in what?

00:38:00.120 I'm seeing something

00:38:01.000 about Mike Lindell

00:38:01.880 that I don't think is true.

00:38:06.180 Is it true that Locals

00:38:07.720 is hooking up with Rumble?

00:38:09.620 I have nothing to report

00:38:10.920 on that.

00:38:11.380 Trump wins bigly in 2024.

00:38:16.920 Where is Trump?

00:38:19.380 Right?

00:38:20.180 Isn't it another day

00:38:21.180 of no Trump?

00:38:22.760 How many...

00:38:23.380 How many days of

00:38:31.160 no Trump controversy

00:38:32.760 can we go in a row?

00:38:37.220 Dominion whistleblower...

00:38:38.320 Whoops, hold on.

00:38:39.000 This is breaking news.

00:38:40.020 It shows how machines

00:38:42.040 were configured

00:38:42.700 for connection

00:38:43.500 to the internet.

00:38:44.480 Well, I wouldn't put

00:38:46.100 too much in that.

00:38:47.740 So somebody's saying

00:38:48.380 there's a...

00:38:49.340 NN here is saying

00:38:50.300 there's breaking news

00:38:51.660 that Dominion whistleblower

00:38:53.620 shows a video

00:38:54.440 of machines being

00:38:55.720 configured

00:38:56.260 for connection

00:38:57.060 to the internet.

00:38:57.960 That doesn't mean

00:38:58.600 they were connected.

00:39:01.740 So whatever I'm reading here,

00:39:04.160 I wouldn't take that

00:39:04.740 too seriously

00:39:05.520 until you know

00:39:06.160 a lot of context.

00:39:07.020 I don't think

00:39:08.620 anybody says

00:39:09.220 that it's impossible

00:39:10.300 to connect them

00:39:11.100 to the internet.

00:39:12.480 I don't believe

00:39:13.100 anybody believed that,

00:39:14.300 right?

00:39:14.740 So if they have

00:39:16.660 the ability

00:39:17.780 to connect

00:39:18.380 to the internet,

00:39:19.160 I don't know

00:39:19.640 if that's news.

00:39:20.600 Is it?

00:39:22.980 Have I considered

00:39:23.980 using StreamYard?

00:39:25.240 Yes.

00:39:25.540 The products

00:39:28.120 that stream

00:39:29.700 to multiple platforms

00:39:31.100 have a stability problem,

00:39:35.880 which I'm having right now,

00:39:37.540 but it's for a different reason.

00:39:39.180 They have a stability problem,

00:39:40.400 but there's also a delay.

00:39:42.240 So the way I'm doing this

00:39:43.340 right now

00:39:43.740 is on an iPad,

00:39:44.620 and I see myself

00:39:45.760 in real time,

00:39:48.300 but on some of the softwares

00:39:50.440 that do streaming

00:39:51.840 to multiple platforms

00:39:53.620 because of speed constraints,

00:39:55.540 they'll show me

00:39:56.420 talking to myself

00:39:57.280 at a few seconds behind,

00:40:00.880 and you just can't

00:40:01.800 even do the show that way

00:40:02.800 because you're

00:40:03.540 watching yourself.

00:40:06.420 It's sort of like,

00:40:07.660 have you ever tried

00:40:08.260 to do an interview

00:40:08.900 with a microphone,

00:40:10.160 and you hear yourself

00:40:11.820 in your ear?

00:40:13.500 That's happened to me

00:40:14.380 a number of times

00:40:14.980 doing satellite interviews.

00:40:16.520 I'll say something,

00:40:17.560 and then I'll hear

00:40:18.040 my own voice

00:40:19.120 echoed in my headphone,

00:40:21.260 like with just a slight delay

00:40:22.580 of half a second

00:40:23.320 or something.

00:40:23.760 You can't think or talk.

00:40:26.400 It actually shuts down

00:40:27.940 your ability

00:40:28.700 to think and talk

00:40:30.320 at the same time,

00:40:31.180 hearing yourself talk

00:40:32.140 slightly and a whack.

00:40:34.240 So that's what happens

00:40:35.000 with the products

00:40:36.300 that stream

00:40:37.160 from one platform.

00:40:38.120 Let's see.

00:40:44.740 It's beyond annoying, yeah.

00:40:48.280 Let's see.

00:40:53.100 I can't even have

00:40:54.240 a phone call.

00:40:55.180 Yeah, that's totally true.

00:41:00.140 All right.

00:41:03.440 I'm just looking at your comments

00:41:04.680 for a moment,

00:41:05.240 and I think we're done here.

00:41:08.700 There's something

00:41:09.320 about Mike Lindell

00:41:10.340 that people are talking about,

00:41:12.080 but it doesn't sound like

00:41:12.920 it's a real story.

00:41:14.780 It sounds like fake news,

00:41:15.600 so I won't.

00:41:18.140 Oh, have I talked to Dr. Drew

00:41:20.220 about his setup?

00:41:21.380 Well, I've talked to lots of people

00:41:23.540 about their setups,

00:41:24.480 and they all have

00:41:25.300 the same problems.

00:41:26.760 They're not stable.

00:41:28.360 They've got a delay.

00:41:30.020 It's the same set of problems,

00:41:31.340 but some people are willing

00:41:32.240 to deal with different problems

00:41:33.920 than other people.

00:41:37.000 One of the things

00:41:37.660 that Dr. Drew

00:41:38.280 and a lot of other podcasters do

00:41:39.940 is they have an engineer

00:41:41.140 or a producer

00:41:42.060 who is doing

00:41:43.800 the troubleshooting.

00:41:45.120 So you saw today

00:41:46.040 that I couldn't do the show

00:41:47.340 and do the troubleshooting

00:41:48.580 at the same time,

00:41:49.700 but because of the nature

00:41:51.160 of how I do this,

00:41:52.720 as soon as I add

00:41:54.120 other people,

00:41:56.520 it's going to turn into

00:41:57.560 a different kind of show.

00:41:59.720 I don't want the production values

00:42:01.340 to be too good,

00:42:02.360 if you know what I mean.

00:42:03.920 I like keeping it casual

00:42:05.200 because I think

00:42:07.220 that's part of its appeal.

00:42:09.500 All right.

00:42:13.180 It is better on a PC.

00:42:14.740 Now, I wouldn't use

00:42:15.700 a Windows product

00:42:16.640 for anything

00:42:17.360 because Windows products

00:42:18.860 just beg for software updates

00:42:21.240 all day long.

00:42:22.200 It's basically having a dog.

00:42:24.300 Every time I go in the kitchen,

00:42:25.480 my dog begs for a treat.

00:42:27.760 Every time I open

00:42:28.520 a Windows laptop,

00:42:29.940 it begs for software.

00:42:31.200 It's like having

00:42:31.860 a freaking dog.

00:42:34.040 You know,

00:42:34.300 I mean,

00:42:34.720 I love my dog,

00:42:35.860 but it's hard

00:42:37.660 to go in the kitchen

00:42:38.300 and have a dog

00:42:39.120 begging for food

00:42:40.200 and distressed

00:42:40.940 because she's not having it

00:42:41.920 every single time

00:42:42.900 you walk in the kitchen.

00:42:47.780 Absolutely false,

00:42:48.880 Craig says.

00:42:49.520 I don't know

00:42:49.820 what you're referring to.

00:42:53.200 Are you talking

00:42:53.840 about the Microsoft stuff?

00:42:55.360 I'm not talking

00:42:59.540 about Microsoft's

00:43:00.600 own updates.

00:43:01.620 I'm talking about

00:43:02.320 any software

00:43:03.620 working on the platform.

00:43:04.860 It's all begging

00:43:05.320 for software all the time.

00:43:08.320 All right.

00:43:08.860 That's all I got for now

00:43:09.600 and I'll talk to you.
