Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1490 Scott Adams： The People Who Make the Fake News Are On Vacation So I'll Take Your Questions

00:00:00.580 Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and every other species and type of person, because you're all special.

00:00:11.360 Welcome to the best live stream of all time.

00:00:16.340 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and it features something. Have you heard of it?

00:00:20.460 It's called the Simultaneous Sip.

00:00:22.940 Yeah, yeah, I know, some of you have heard of it.

00:00:25.080 Hold on, let me stretch my lavalier microphone cords to reach over here and grab my notes.

00:00:35.460 Well, I'll be taking some questions today, because there's not much news.

00:00:42.600 It's the weekend, it's a holiday weekend, and wow, is it slow news, slow, slow news.

00:00:50.280 But one way to make this situation spectacular, well, there's a few ways, but one way to do it is the Simultaneous Sip.

00:01:02.060 And if you'd like to join in, and I know you would, all you need is a cup or mug or glass, a tank or chalice or sign, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:01:11.180 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:01:13.400 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, one of the top two things you can do with one hand.

00:01:24.580 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it's going to happen right now. Go.

00:01:32.800 Ah, was it good for you? Yeah, it was, wasn't it?

00:01:38.180 Yeah, sometimes you think, I don't know if it's going to be good this time.

00:01:41.960 And then it is. It is. It's amazing.

00:01:46.640 Well, let's talk about the fake news, because there isn't much real news.

00:01:50.040 I think the people who make the fake news are mostly on vacation.

00:01:54.940 So we have to rely on actual, organic, real news.

00:02:01.240 Not much happening.

00:02:03.540 You've got basically helicopter accidents and rain.

00:02:06.880 That's all you've got for news.

00:02:08.180 All right, anyway, Rolling Stone ran a story, tweeted, about an interview with a doctor,

00:02:16.720 and it was associated with some Oklahoma hospital, and he claimed, he claimed,

00:02:23.060 that the hospital was turning away gunshot victims and other people,

00:02:28.300 because it was overrun with people who were doing overdose levels of horse dewormer,

00:02:36.060 also known as ivermectin horse dewormer.

00:02:41.040 Yes.

00:02:41.620 In fact, according to Rolling Stone,

00:02:44.360 so many people had heard fake news about this therapeutic,

00:02:51.680 that they had run out, and instead of buying the human version, which is available,

00:02:59.360 no, they decided to buy the horse dewormer version, because that makes sense.

00:03:05.520 And they took so much of this horse dewormer, which I pause to warn you,

00:03:13.480 not a good idea, don't do it,

00:03:16.300 that they were packing the ICUs and the emergency rooms,

00:03:20.800 and those hospitals could barely stay in, what?

00:03:24.500 Oh, it was all fake news.

00:03:27.760 Apparently the doctor who gave the interview is not really even working at that hospital,

00:03:33.240 had some vague association with it,

00:03:36.260 and the hospital says absolutely none of that is true.

00:03:39.960 The total number of people who were in their hospital for horse dewormer overdose is zero.

00:03:49.000 Zero.

00:03:50.100 Now, how many other outlets picked up that fake news and ran with it?

00:03:54.940 A lot of them.

00:03:56.840 So, I didn't see it myself,

00:03:59.500 but I saw a reference to CNN and some other places may have picked it up.

00:04:04.540 I'd like to think some other news organizations were maybe holding off on that.

00:04:11.120 But there's your fake news.

00:04:14.000 But, as Ian Miles Chiang says on Twitter,

00:04:18.620 he points out that a lot of people were debunking that story, as they should.

00:04:23.300 But, who was debunking the story that said that Japan was going to make ivermectin

00:04:29.540 a standard part of their coronavirus treatment?

00:04:33.760 And I said, what?

00:04:35.520 Because I did see some kind of a story about Japan using ivermectin,

00:04:40.120 but it turns out it was just one guy,

00:04:42.780 and it was just a suggestion.

00:04:44.840 So, there's nothing even close to Japan

00:04:48.300 formalizing some kind of ivermectin recommendation.

00:04:51.640 It was just one guy, just a suggestion.

00:04:56.840 New York Times is getting some grief

00:04:59.180 over having to change a headline.

00:05:03.660 Now, you may have noticed

00:05:04.660 that as the public sentiment

00:05:06.440 toward Biden

00:05:07.960 sinks,

00:05:10.220 probably in lockstep with the media,

00:05:13.860 that the media is turning on Biden a little bit.

00:05:17.120 The media that normally supports him.

00:05:19.400 But here's the funniest example of them

00:05:21.840 getting caught trying to make that pivot.

00:05:26.640 So, the New York Times

00:05:27.640 was doing a story about Biden meeting with the

00:05:31.440 Gold Star families who lost children,

00:05:35.340 grown children,

00:05:36.800 in Afghanistan.

00:05:38.800 And the original headline said,

00:05:41.060 quote,

00:05:41.260 Biden,

00:05:42.220 still grieving his son,

00:05:45.100 finds that not everyone wants to hear about it.

00:05:48.500 So, the essence of it was

00:05:50.360 that he was talking too much about his own grief

00:05:52.720 and maybe not enough about

00:05:54.680 the grief of the people he was there to console.

00:05:58.760 And I guess the New York Times

00:06:03.080 got quite a backlash on that.

00:06:06.580 They got a backlash.

00:06:07.640 Surprise!

00:06:08.520 There are enough people who support Biden

00:06:10.200 that they created a backlash.

00:06:14.140 And within hours,

00:06:16.080 the headline was changed.

00:06:17.920 And it got changed to,

00:06:19.680 in invoking Bo,

00:06:21.320 Biden broaches a loss

00:06:22.780 that's guided his presidency.

00:06:24.500 Look at the difference in that.

00:06:28.380 Let me read them again.

00:06:29.260 So, original headline,

00:06:30.920 Biden,

00:06:31.460 still grieving his son,

00:06:32.800 finds that not everyone

00:06:33.860 wants to hear about it

00:06:34.980 because there were some complaints about it.

00:06:37.440 But other people supported it

00:06:38.860 and said that it made them feel connected.

00:06:42.320 And then that changed to,

00:06:43.960 in invoking Bo,

00:06:44.940 Biden broaches a loss

00:06:46.040 that's guided his presidency.

00:06:49.160 That's kind of an interesting

00:06:50.920 and subtle little back battle there.

00:06:52.920 All right.

00:06:54.880 One of the things I love

00:06:56.000 is watching the battle

00:06:56.980 between Fox News and CNN

00:06:59.840 and specifically the on-air talent.

00:07:03.440 It's because the on-air talent

00:07:04.440 likes to get personal

00:07:05.400 with their counterparts

00:07:06.840 at the other network.

00:07:08.340 And I got to say,

00:07:10.180 it's one of my favorite things

00:07:11.600 about the media right now

00:07:12.840 is that they go after each other

00:07:14.380 almost every day

00:07:15.220 and, you know,

00:07:16.760 mock each other.

00:07:18.120 And I was trying to think,

00:07:20.220 how important is it?

00:07:24.440 And the answer is,

00:07:25.600 it might be kind of important.

00:07:27.980 It might be the kind of thing

00:07:29.140 that changes elections.

00:07:31.040 Take, for example,

00:07:32.100 the current story

00:07:33.080 about Jim Acosta.

00:07:35.180 He did a little commentary

00:07:36.500 on CNN

00:07:37.020 and he was labeling

00:07:38.420 Tucker Carlson,

00:07:40.080 quote,

00:07:41.140 a human manure spreader.

00:07:44.060 You know,

00:07:44.440 and accused him

00:07:45.380 of various racist

00:07:46.780 conspiracy theories,

00:07:48.020 whatever.

00:07:48.180 Now, it doesn't matter

00:07:50.180 what he's accusing him of

00:07:51.240 because they're always

00:07:51.980 going back and forth

00:07:52.800 on stuff.

00:07:54.060 But imagine this.

00:07:57.180 Consider the size

00:07:58.460 of Tucker Carlson's audience

00:07:59.980 and the size

00:08:02.160 of Fox News' reach.

00:08:05.460 Tucker's probably

00:08:07.100 the most important voice

00:08:09.900 on the right

00:08:10.520 at this point.

00:08:11.780 If you just take

00:08:12.720 the amount of his influence

00:08:14.360 and multiply it

00:08:15.840 by the size of his audience,

00:08:18.180 I don't know

00:08:19.200 if anybody would have

00:08:20.120 a bigger number

00:08:21.080 multiplying,

00:08:22.460 you know,

00:08:22.660 if you could theoretically

00:08:23.880 come up with some kind

00:08:25.180 of a number

00:08:25.980 or a grade

00:08:26.740 for how influential

00:08:28.280 somebody is

00:08:29.060 on top of how big

00:08:30.100 their audience is.

00:08:31.300 I don't know

00:08:31.960 if anybody would have

00:08:32.640 a bigger combination.

00:08:34.100 So imagine,

00:08:34.740 if you will,

00:08:36.240 that CNN

00:08:37.960 could manage

00:08:38.940 to take

00:08:40.940 Tucker Carlson

00:08:41.880 off the air.

00:08:42.480 Now they would do it

00:08:44.360 presumably just because

00:08:45.640 it would be good

00:08:46.260 for competition, right?

00:08:47.660 They'd try to

00:08:48.240 take out their competitor.

00:08:50.500 But what would happen

00:08:51.260 to the republic?

00:08:53.500 How many people

00:08:54.320 do you think,

00:08:55.760 hypothetically,

00:08:57.860 theoretically,

00:08:58.820 if I could use it

00:08:59.540 in a non-scientific sense,

00:09:01.580 how many people

00:09:02.360 do you think

00:09:03.040 Tucker Carlson

00:09:04.500 influences

00:09:06.180 to vote

00:09:06.840 the way they vote?

00:09:08.500 It's not zero,

00:09:10.680 but is it enough

00:09:11.700 that if you took

00:09:12.700 his voice out,

00:09:13.940 I see Rush Limbaugh

00:09:15.020 being mentioned

00:09:15.620 in the comments.

00:09:16.360 Yeah, same thing.

00:09:17.440 If you take out

00:09:18.180 a Rush Limbaugh,

00:09:20.120 Greg Goffeld,

00:09:22.240 you know,

00:09:22.440 the people

00:09:23.680 who've got

00:09:23.960 the biggest audiences,

00:09:26.080 do you change votes?

00:09:28.140 You know,

00:09:28.520 I asked

00:09:29.040 on Twitter,

00:09:30.520 I asked my Twitter followers

00:09:31.720 I don't know,

00:09:32.180 a few years ago,

00:09:33.280 I asked how many people

00:09:34.360 decided to vote

00:09:36.040 for Trump

00:09:36.700 because of

00:09:37.740 something I said.

00:09:39.600 And I think

00:09:40.080 I got 1,500 people

00:09:41.740 who said

00:09:42.020 they changed

00:09:42.600 their vote

00:09:43.220 specifically

00:09:44.780 because of

00:09:45.480 something I said.

00:09:47.560 Now,

00:09:48.000 that was just

00:09:48.600 my tiny little

00:09:49.680 Twitter following

00:09:50.860 and the people

00:09:52.540 who saw

00:09:53.880 that Twitter poll

00:09:54.800 and also

00:09:55.960 wanted to answer it.

00:09:57.940 So,

00:09:58.520 I had 1,500 people

00:10:00.520 after all of

00:10:01.960 those filters

00:10:02.700 that said

00:10:04.360 directly

00:10:04.940 that I changed

00:10:05.800 their vote.

00:10:06.700 How many people

00:10:08.440 have their vote

00:10:09.680 changed by

00:10:10.180 a Tucker Carlson

00:10:11.260 or a Hannity

00:10:12.980 or a Rush Limbaugh?

00:10:16.060 It's a big number.

00:10:17.980 You know,

00:10:18.160 we could find out

00:10:19.160 that the passing

00:10:20.160 of Rush Limbaugh

00:10:21.360 ends up

00:10:22.040 changing the,

00:10:23.900 you know,

00:10:24.760 the look of America.

00:10:26.960 I mean,

00:10:27.440 it could be enough

00:10:28.260 because all of our

00:10:29.260 presidential elections

00:10:30.240 are kind of close.

00:10:31.120 so one major voice

00:10:34.040 taken off the field

00:10:35.180 if it's,

00:10:36.260 you know,

00:10:36.480 somebody as big

00:10:37.060 as a Tucker

00:10:37.820 or a Limbaugh was.

00:10:40.500 I don't know.

00:10:41.060 Could that change politics?

00:10:42.540 I think it could.

00:10:44.440 Hypothetically.

00:10:46.460 All right.

00:10:47.860 So,

00:10:48.500 that's fun.

00:10:49.500 I just tweeted

00:10:53.020 just before I got out here

00:10:54.220 and so it's worth

00:10:55.580 checking it out

00:10:56.340 on my Twitter feed.

00:10:57.560 It would be near the top.

00:10:59.720 So,

00:11:00.040 Andres Beckhaus

00:11:01.120 was doing some

00:11:01.700 translating

00:11:02.240 on a German

00:11:03.140 I think it was

00:11:06.120 a virologist

00:11:06.940 and expert

00:11:07.580 talking about

00:11:08.940 basically the only way

00:11:10.480 we have out

00:11:11.200 of the pandemic.

00:11:13.180 And what was special

00:11:14.480 about it

00:11:14.900 is it seemed like

00:11:15.660 it was the first

00:11:16.280 honest expert opinion

00:11:18.820 that I've seen.

00:11:20.680 Because,

00:11:21.220 you know,

00:11:21.400 I keep asking

00:11:22.160 what exactly

00:11:23.400 is the strategy?

00:11:24.860 What are we trying to do?

00:11:26.020 Are we still flattening

00:11:26.900 the curve

00:11:27.440 or trying to get to zero?

00:11:29.320 It feels like

00:11:30.140 it's not being expressed

00:11:31.340 in a way

00:11:32.340 that the public

00:11:32.920 can say,

00:11:33.440 okay,

00:11:33.780 I like it

00:11:34.340 or I don't like it

00:11:35.100 but at least

00:11:35.420 I know what it is.

00:11:36.900 Like,

00:11:37.180 I understand it.

00:11:38.260 And then every country

00:11:39.180 is doing its own thing

00:11:40.140 in every state.

00:11:41.460 So,

00:11:41.740 you don't really have

00:11:42.280 a good sense

00:11:43.300 of what the strategy is.

00:11:45.520 And so,

00:11:45.760 that's what

00:11:46.220 this piece

00:11:47.440 describes

00:11:48.120 from this expert.

00:11:50.260 And the basic idea

00:11:51.480 is this.

00:11:51.920 So,

00:11:52.080 you want to get

00:11:52.460 from a pandemic

00:11:53.260 where,

00:11:53.960 you know,

00:11:54.780 people are dying

00:11:55.800 and it's affecting

00:11:56.640 the,

00:11:57.760 or they're dying

00:11:58.920 at too large a rate

00:12:00.460 and it's affecting

00:12:02.060 the economy

00:12:02.780 and life

00:12:03.220 and all that.

00:12:03.920 You want to get

00:12:04.460 to the point

00:12:04.840 where it's just

00:12:05.420 sort of endemic

00:12:06.440 where it's something

00:12:07.580 you live with

00:12:08.300 because it's not

00:12:09.300 going away.

00:12:10.500 So,

00:12:10.920 here's an expert

00:12:11.560 saying,

00:12:12.340 it's not going away.

00:12:14.960 So,

00:12:15.560 let's just hear this

00:12:16.700 as clearly

00:12:17.560 as we can.

00:12:18.880 New Zealand,

00:12:20.360 it's not going away.

00:12:22.980 It's just not

00:12:23.780 going away.

00:12:24.920 Right?

00:12:25.100 So,

00:12:25.200 that's the first part

00:12:26.100 of the strategy

00:12:27.760 you need to know.

00:12:28.720 It's not going away.

00:12:30.720 So,

00:12:31.600 how do you live

00:12:33.180 with it?

00:12:33.560 And his suggestion

00:12:34.680 is that

00:12:35.280 if you got

00:12:36.280 over-vaccinated,

00:12:37.520 if such a thing

00:12:38.260 existed,

00:12:39.180 it might not be good

00:12:40.200 because

00:12:41.460 if too few people

00:12:44.060 get the infection,

00:12:46.120 you can't get

00:12:46.800 to the better

00:12:47.700 kind of immunity

00:12:49.140 where people

00:12:50.360 just learn to live

00:12:51.120 with it like

00:12:51.600 a cold,

00:12:52.460 basically.

00:12:52.800 So,

00:12:54.680 the idea

00:12:55.340 is that

00:12:55.760 maybe the best

00:12:56.760 strategy

00:12:57.400 is to be

00:12:58.500 vaccinated

00:12:59.140 and infected.

00:13:01.500 But in the long run,

00:13:03.060 you want the

00:13:03.580 vaccinations

00:13:04.140 and the infections

00:13:05.200 to be at a low rate

00:13:06.400 so that they're not

00:13:08.340 wiping out

00:13:09.140 our healthcare system.

00:13:10.960 So,

00:13:11.360 I don't know

00:13:12.080 if anybody

00:13:12.440 said that directly

00:13:13.300 before,

00:13:13.780 have they?

00:13:14.640 Has anybody

00:13:15.180 said directly,

00:13:16.720 we want to be

00:13:17.620 vaccinated

00:13:18.280 and infected

00:13:19.960 because it's

00:13:21.000 the only way

00:13:21.580 to get from

00:13:22.080 pandemic to

00:13:22.840 endemic

00:13:23.360 where you

00:13:24.020 just live

00:13:24.440 with it.

00:13:26.420 Yeah,

00:13:27.220 I'm seeing

00:13:27.580 in the comments

00:13:28.020 somebody says

00:13:28.560 I said it.

00:13:29.880 Well,

00:13:30.020 that's true.

00:13:30.840 But I don't

00:13:32.580 think anybody

00:13:33.180 who had credentials

00:13:34.860 had said it

00:13:35.600 out loud

00:13:36.080 that I've heard

00:13:36.740 of.

00:13:38.060 So,

00:13:38.380 that would be

00:13:39.260 interesting.

00:13:40.380 Now,

00:13:40.640 that's just one

00:13:41.200 person giving

00:13:42.020 their one opinion.

00:13:43.120 It doesn't mean

00:13:43.560 it's any country's

00:13:44.620 strategy yet,

00:13:45.640 but it should be.

00:13:48.620 Twitter user

00:13:49.460 Paul Collider

00:13:50.280 had an observation

00:13:52.780 that I think

00:13:54.740 is pretty

00:13:56.000 meaningful

00:13:56.520 as we're

00:13:57.560 trying to

00:13:57.980 sort out

00:13:58.600 ivermectin

00:14:00.500 and what's

00:14:01.760 real and

00:14:02.400 what's not.

00:14:03.940 And Paul

00:14:05.160 notes that

00:14:05.940 no horse

00:14:06.920 has died

00:14:07.400 of COVID.

00:14:09.280 And I

00:14:10.120 thought to

00:14:10.460 myself,

00:14:11.840 well,

00:14:12.060 that's true.

00:14:13.940 No horse

00:14:15.180 has died

00:14:17.220 of COVID.

00:14:17.680 at least

00:14:21.400 as far

00:14:21.740 as we

00:14:22.000 know.

00:14:22.800 Now,

00:14:23.280 if we've

00:14:23.700 learned

00:14:23.880 anything

00:14:24.200 from the

00:14:24.760 election,

00:14:26.380 the last

00:14:27.080 election,

00:14:27.860 it's that

00:14:28.380 if a court

00:14:28.980 has not

00:14:29.440 found any

00:14:29.980 fraud,

00:14:30.360 then there

00:14:30.600 was none

00:14:31.020 because the

00:14:32.500 court didn't

00:14:32.880 find it.

00:14:34.300 Likewise,

00:14:35.000 if there are

00:14:35.520 no news

00:14:36.120 reports of

00:14:36.720 any horses

00:14:37.260 dying of

00:14:38.040 COVID,

00:14:38.540 well,

00:14:38.800 there are

00:14:39.040 none.

00:14:39.860 That's

00:14:40.140 proof.

00:14:41.340 No reports

00:14:42.180 of it means

00:14:42.720 there are

00:14:43.160 none,

00:14:44.280 just like

00:14:44.840 the

00:14:44.960 election.

00:14:47.400 And

00:14:47.740 since we

00:14:48.780 know horses

00:14:50.060 take this

00:14:50.700 ivermectin

00:14:51.560 stuff for

00:14:52.080 horses,

00:14:53.380 don't you

00:14:53.920 put that

00:14:54.320 in your

00:14:54.560 body,

00:14:54.960 people.

00:14:55.740 I'm

00:14:55.960 talking about

00:14:56.480 horse

00:14:57.140 dewormer

00:14:58.540 made for

00:14:59.640 horses.

00:15:01.180 Don't put

00:15:01.900 it in your

00:15:02.220 body.

00:15:03.280 But if

00:15:04.980 horses are

00:15:05.580 taking it

00:15:06.180 and no

00:15:07.580 horses have

00:15:08.120 died of

00:15:08.500 COVID,

00:15:10.620 I'm just

00:15:11.180 putting it

00:15:11.540 out there.

00:15:11.880 ipso

00:15:14.820 facto

00:15:15.340 QED,

00:15:16.900 logic.

00:15:17.840 That's

00:15:18.100 called

00:15:18.320 logical.

00:15:19.200 That's

00:15:19.460 how it

00:15:19.720 works.

00:15:21.180 If any

00:15:22.000 dumb people

00:15:22.460 are watching,

00:15:23.060 I'm just

00:15:23.520 joking.

00:15:24.440 Just

00:15:24.700 joking.

00:15:26.940 CNN has

00:15:27.740 their

00:15:28.100 anecdotal

00:15:29.880 persuasion

00:15:30.860 brainwashing

00:15:31.600 of the

00:15:31.880 day.

00:15:32.580 Every day

00:15:33.180 they'll have

00:15:33.660 a story

00:15:34.040 about

00:15:34.300 somebody

00:15:34.900 who

00:15:35.620 tragically

00:15:36.300 had a

00:15:36.760 bad

00:15:37.000 outcome

00:15:37.520 with

00:15:37.920 COVID-19

00:15:39.560 who wishes

00:15:40.120 now they

00:15:40.680 had been

00:15:41.000 vaccinated.

00:15:41.880 Oh boy,

00:15:42.740 do they

00:15:42.980 wish now

00:15:43.500 they had

00:15:43.800 been

00:15:43.940 vaccinated.

00:15:45.320 So today's

00:15:45.960 is the

00:15:46.420 Florida teen

00:15:47.300 who spent

00:15:48.600 11 days

00:15:49.180 on a

00:15:49.500 ventilator

00:15:49.960 and nearly

00:15:50.360 died.

00:15:51.580 But it

00:15:51.880 looks like

00:15:52.600 she'll be

00:15:52.860 okay now.

00:15:53.960 And she

00:15:54.380 has a

00:15:54.660 message for

00:15:55.200 her peers

00:15:55.940 that they

00:15:56.320 should get

00:15:56.640 vaccinated.

00:15:58.280 Did I

00:15:58.700 mention

00:15:58.940 obese?

00:16:00.840 Oh,

00:16:01.280 the story

00:16:01.660 doesn't

00:16:01.960 mention her

00:16:02.520 weight,

00:16:03.940 but the

00:16:05.020 photograph

00:16:05.360 does.

00:16:07.040 Feels

00:16:07.520 like that's

00:16:08.240 important to

00:16:08.840 the story

00:16:09.340 and yet

00:16:09.840 overlooked.

00:16:11.880 But the

00:16:12.580 photograph

00:16:12.900 tells that

00:16:13.420 story.

00:16:14.440 Because if

00:16:14.820 we're not

00:16:15.180 telling people

00:16:15.800 to lose

00:16:16.640 weight and

00:16:18.400 we're only

00:16:18.960 telling them

00:16:19.460 to get

00:16:19.760 vaccinated,

00:16:20.880 I feel

00:16:21.460 as if part

00:16:23.160 of the

00:16:23.380 story has

00:16:24.680 been left

00:16:25.060 out.

00:16:27.220 All right,

00:16:28.100 I asked this

00:16:28.840 provocative

00:16:29.340 question on

00:16:30.280 Twitter.

00:16:30.740 I said,

00:16:31.100 does it

00:16:31.520 really matter

00:16:31.940 if we

00:16:32.400 ever have

00:16:32.960 proof that

00:16:33.600 the Wuhan

00:16:34.060 lab was

00:16:34.860 the source

00:16:35.340 of the

00:16:35.980 coronavirus?

00:16:36.980 Now,

00:16:38.680 almost every

00:16:39.320 one of you

00:16:39.780 is going

00:16:40.100 to say

00:16:40.360 something like,

00:16:41.020 of course

00:16:41.500 it matters.

00:16:42.900 Of course

00:16:43.300 it matters.

00:16:44.460 Because if

00:16:44.900 you don't

00:16:45.220 know the

00:16:45.600 source of

00:16:45.980 the leak,

00:16:46.400 number one,

00:16:47.580 how are

00:16:47.980 you ever

00:16:48.280 going to

00:16:48.580 correct what

00:16:49.160 the problem

00:16:49.520 was?

00:16:50.500 Number two,

00:16:51.700 you've got to

00:16:52.080 hold somebody

00:16:52.520 accountable.

00:16:53.800 You've got to

00:16:54.260 hold China 0.60

00:16:54.760 accountable if

00:16:55.440 it came from

00:16:55.880 there.

00:16:56.420 And if it

00:16:56.820 didn't come

00:16:57.260 from there,

00:16:57.760 well, then

00:16:58.220 we should

00:16:58.540 back off of

00:16:59.160 China.

00:16:59.500 That would

00:16:59.740 only be

00:17:00.140 fair.

00:17:00.880 So yes,

00:17:02.040 yes, it

00:17:02.440 matters a lot.

00:17:04.520 No, it

00:17:05.060 doesn't.

00:17:05.460 It doesn't

00:17:06.660 matter at

00:17:07.040 all.

00:17:08.380 It doesn't

00:17:08.840 matter even

00:17:09.320 a little

00:17:09.720 bit.

00:17:11.520 Because China 0.94

00:17:12.360 will always

00:17:12.980 say it

00:17:13.320 didn't come

00:17:13.760 from there.

00:17:15.960 Right?

00:17:16.720 Is there

00:17:17.060 anything we

00:17:17.660 could possibly

00:17:18.240 do in

00:17:19.460 any universe

00:17:20.240 that would

00:17:20.620 make China 0.91

00:17:21.100 say,

00:17:21.460 oh, you

00:17:21.840 got us.

00:17:22.940 You got

00:17:23.500 us.

00:17:24.260 Yep.

00:17:25.280 Came from

00:17:25.800 there.

00:17:26.540 So there

00:17:27.120 will always

00:17:27.480 be competing

00:17:28.160 stories.

00:17:29.460 There will

00:17:29.640 always be

00:17:30.000 people saying

00:17:30.620 it did,

00:17:31.060 and there

00:17:31.300 will always

00:17:31.520 be major

00:17:32.420 entities saying

00:17:33.160 it didn't.

00:17:34.080 So that's

00:17:34.540 not going

00:17:34.780 to change.

00:17:35.460 Now, what

00:17:37.220 is it that

00:17:37.660 we would

00:17:38.040 fix if

00:17:39.240 we found

00:17:39.680 out it

00:17:40.060 did come

00:17:40.460 from China?

00:17:41.980 What would

00:17:42.560 we do

00:17:43.040 differently?

00:17:45.660 Would we

00:17:46.340 say, hey,

00:17:47.600 now that we

00:17:48.160 know this

00:17:48.580 got out

00:17:48.920 from the

00:17:49.300 lab, I'm

00:17:50.600 just brainstorming

00:17:51.480 here, but

00:17:52.400 why don't we

00:17:52.880 try to make

00:17:53.380 the deadly

00:17:54.540 virus lab as

00:17:56.480 secure as

00:17:57.180 we can?

00:17:59.380 Is that

00:17:59.980 what they're

00:18:00.460 going to

00:18:00.700 do?

00:18:01.420 Or were

00:18:02.500 they already

00:18:03.020 trying to

00:18:03.520 do that?

00:18:04.040 is it

00:18:05.380 possible that

00:18:06.700 they tried

00:18:07.640 already to

00:18:08.360 make it as

00:18:08.800 secure as

00:18:09.440 they possibly

00:18:10.100 could?

00:18:11.360 And did

00:18:11.680 they, did

00:18:13.660 they, maybe

00:18:16.180 take it up

00:18:17.140 another notch,

00:18:18.580 not even

00:18:19.300 knowing if it

00:18:19.900 came from the

00:18:20.440 lab, don't

00:18:21.580 you think they

00:18:22.040 maybe took it

00:18:22.840 up another

00:18:23.220 notch?

00:18:24.700 Probably.

00:18:26.080 And it

00:18:26.640 doesn't matter

00:18:27.100 if we ever

00:18:27.660 find out it

00:18:28.180 came from

00:18:28.500 that lab,

00:18:29.040 because they're

00:18:29.380 still going to

00:18:30.420 treat it like

00:18:30.960 it did.

00:18:31.360 So I

00:18:32.880 think in

00:18:33.280 terms of

00:18:33.800 finding out

00:18:34.900 how it

00:18:35.360 got out,

00:18:36.160 we're never

00:18:36.780 going to

00:18:37.080 know whose

00:18:38.020 shoe it

00:18:38.800 came out

00:18:39.320 on, just

00:18:40.740 to use a

00:18:41.440 silly example.

00:18:42.700 We're not

00:18:43.100 going to

00:18:43.300 know which

00:18:44.600 crack in

00:18:45.760 the window

00:18:46.220 the first

00:18:47.220 coronavirus

00:18:47.860 snuck

00:18:48.800 through,

00:18:49.980 right?

00:18:51.000 I mean,

00:18:51.400 even if we

00:18:51.920 found out it

00:18:52.500 came from

00:18:52.880 the lab,

00:18:53.460 and I'm

00:18:53.720 just joking

00:18:54.420 about the

00:18:54.820 examples,

00:18:55.400 obviously,

00:18:56.100 we're not

00:18:56.840 going to

00:18:56.980 know exactly

00:18:57.580 how it

00:18:57.960 got out of

00:18:58.300 the lab.

00:18:59.540 We'll just

00:19:00.000 know, well,

00:19:00.440 it looks

00:19:00.640 like it

00:19:01.060 came from

00:19:01.340 there somehow.

00:19:02.680 So the

00:19:03.220 best we

00:19:03.640 can do is

00:19:04.980 triple our

00:19:06.080 efforts to

00:19:06.740 make labs

00:19:07.560 that have

00:19:08.000 any kind of

00:19:08.500 danger in

00:19:09.060 them extra

00:19:09.680 extra safe.

00:19:11.060 And I'm

00:19:11.380 sure they're

00:19:11.740 doing that

00:19:12.120 anyway.

00:19:13.700 Aren't you?

00:19:14.860 I mean, I

00:19:15.560 feel like they

00:19:15.980 would be doing

00:19:16.400 that anyway,

00:19:17.700 no matter

00:19:18.340 what.

00:19:19.720 So I don't

00:19:20.240 buy the

00:19:20.580 argument that

00:19:21.360 we would do

00:19:21.920 anything

00:19:22.200 differently,

00:19:23.380 because we're

00:19:23.780 probably doing

00:19:24.220 everything we

00:19:24.740 can.

00:19:26.860 Next, what

00:19:28.020 about holding

00:19:28.580 China accountable? 0.50

00:19:30.440 Well, you

00:19:31.660 can't hold

00:19:32.120 them accountable

00:19:32.700 in the

00:19:33.420 normal way,

00:19:34.320 because they'll

00:19:35.260 just say they

00:19:35.860 didn't do

00:19:36.220 it.

00:19:37.240 They'll just

00:19:37.640 say it really

00:19:38.160 came from

00:19:38.620 America, it's

00:19:39.360 propaganda.

00:19:40.720 And you

00:19:41.280 can't hold

00:19:41.700 them accountable

00:19:42.240 by, I

00:19:43.260 don't know

00:19:43.540 what, giving

00:19:44.880 them the

00:19:45.340 bill?

00:19:46.580 Are we

00:19:47.140 going to

00:19:47.400 invoice them?

00:19:48.880 And China's 0.92

00:19:49.560 going to be,

00:19:50.040 oh, darn

00:19:51.180 it, we've

00:19:52.120 been saying we

00:19:52.800 had nothing

00:19:53.200 to do with

00:19:53.720 this, but

00:19:54.520 now we have

00:19:55.080 an invoice.

00:19:55.580 Well, I

00:19:57.100 guess we

00:19:57.800 have to pay

00:19:58.300 the $10

00:19:58.720 trillion.

00:19:59.800 Write a

00:20:00.440 check, will

00:20:00.840 you?

00:20:01.300 Write that

00:20:01.840 check.

00:20:02.900 I mean, that's

00:20:03.300 not going to

00:20:03.660 happen.

00:20:05.500 And do you

00:20:06.820 imagine that

00:20:07.420 there's some

00:20:07.760 kind of

00:20:08.120 retaliation we

00:20:09.100 would do for

00:20:09.600 this, that

00:20:11.060 we're not

00:20:11.560 doing for the

00:20:12.200 Uyghurs, that 1.00

00:20:13.780 we're not

00:20:14.180 doing over

00:20:14.700 trade injustices,

00:20:16.520 you know,

00:20:16.760 stealing our

00:20:17.480 IP?

00:20:18.560 Suddenly we're

00:20:19.360 going to get

00:20:19.720 tough?

00:20:20.860 Like this will

00:20:21.700 be the thing

00:20:22.140 that makes us

00:20:22.640 get tough?

00:20:23.160 I doubt

00:20:24.240 it, because

00:20:25.700 I think we're

00:20:26.220 doing everything

00:20:26.780 that you can

00:20:27.360 do with a

00:20:29.340 nuclear superpower

00:20:30.580 that's, you

00:20:31.600 know, a

00:20:31.820 gigantic part of 0.50

00:20:32.620 the world

00:20:33.060 economy.

00:20:34.040 There's just

00:20:34.380 so much you

00:20:34.800 can do.

00:20:35.680 We're probably

00:20:36.260 already at the

00:20:37.100 edge of it.

00:20:39.100 So, I think

00:20:41.120 if you really

00:20:41.640 thought about

00:20:42.360 it, you

00:20:43.620 would learn

00:20:44.060 that it

00:20:45.280 will never

00:20:45.760 matter if

00:20:46.560 we know

00:20:46.920 where it

00:20:47.260 came from.

00:20:47.820 It just

00:20:48.040 won't ever

00:20:48.480 matter.

00:20:48.780 And what

00:20:55.080 else is

00:20:55.420 going on?

00:20:55.920 Well, Ron

00:20:58.900 DeSantis in

00:20:59.660 Florida, they've

00:21:00.660 got this deal

00:21:01.380 where they're

00:21:01.880 going to fine

00:21:03.100 any entity in

00:21:04.100 Florida $5,000

00:21:05.280 if that entity

00:21:07.140 requires vaccination

00:21:09.000 proof.

00:21:10.380 So, if the

00:21:10.940 only way you

00:21:11.740 can use a

00:21:12.120 company is by

00:21:13.000 proving you're

00:21:13.540 vaccinated,

00:21:15.180 Florida will 0.81

00:21:16.760 now fine you

00:21:17.440 $5,000.

00:21:18.780 To which I

00:21:20.300 say, unless

00:21:21.640 Trump runs

00:21:23.720 for re-election,

00:21:26.020 the Republicans

00:21:27.080 can just skip

00:21:27.900 the primaries.

00:21:29.360 Because I feel

00:21:30.100 like it's

00:21:31.380 just got to

00:21:31.840 be DeSantis,

00:21:33.820 right?

00:21:35.120 I can't

00:21:36.000 imagine anybody

00:21:36.540 else would

00:21:36.880 even have a

00:21:37.300 chance at

00:21:37.920 this point.

00:21:38.640 He's doing

00:21:39.220 such a

00:21:39.880 populist,

00:21:41.460 spot-on,

00:21:43.420 this is what

00:21:43.980 the people

00:21:44.360 want, even

00:21:45.460 if maybe

00:21:46.260 science disagrees,

00:21:47.700 it's what the

00:21:48.120 people want.

00:21:48.780 And that's

00:21:49.700 who vote.

00:21:50.860 So, it's

00:21:53.520 kind of

00:21:53.840 perfect again.

00:21:55.100 But again,

00:21:55.840 if Trump

00:21:57.140 decides to

00:21:57.660 run, I'm

00:21:58.100 sure he'll

00:21:58.400 get the

00:21:58.720 nomination.

00:22:02.040 But here's

00:22:02.920 the counter

00:22:03.360 argument.

00:22:04.740 As popular

00:22:05.420 as this is,

00:22:06.260 because people

00:22:06.680 don't like,

00:22:08.220 or a lot

00:22:08.700 of people

00:22:08.940 don't like

00:22:09.400 the

00:22:09.680 vaccination

00:22:10.820 proof idea,

00:22:12.460 there's a

00:22:13.680 little bit

00:22:13.980 of a pushback

00:22:14.720 on the

00:22:15.280 free market

00:22:16.060 concept,

00:22:17.460 which is,

00:22:18.780 why can't

00:22:19.220 a business

00:22:19.620 decide to

00:22:22.040 do any

00:22:23.000 kind of

00:22:23.300 business they

00:22:23.780 want?

00:22:24.620 If they're

00:22:25.220 not discriminating

00:22:26.360 based on,

00:22:27.060 let's say,

00:22:27.380 race or

00:22:27.940 religion,

00:22:29.380 and not

00:22:30.500 really

00:22:30.740 discriminating

00:22:31.400 on, I

00:22:32.700 don't know,

00:22:33.240 disability or

00:22:34.240 anything else,

00:22:34.800 really, if

00:22:35.920 they're not

00:22:36.240 doing one of

00:22:36.800 the forbidden

00:22:37.540 discriminations,

00:22:39.440 why can't a

00:22:40.480 company in the

00:22:41.660 United States

00:22:42.380 say, you

00:22:44.360 must wear a

00:22:45.020 shirt?

00:22:46.520 They can.

00:22:47.800 They can say,

00:22:49.280 we won't

00:22:49.660 serve you if

00:22:50.420 you don't

00:22:50.900 wear a

00:22:51.240 shirt.

00:22:52.980 What about

00:22:53.620 shoes?

00:22:55.180 They can say,

00:22:55.940 you can't

00:22:56.240 come in our

00:22:56.700 place if you

00:22:58.240 don't have

00:22:58.560 shoes.

00:22:59.980 So why can't

00:23:00.780 they say,

00:23:01.300 you can't

00:23:01.640 come in if

00:23:02.020 you don't

00:23:02.220 have a

00:23:02.500 vaccination?

00:23:03.660 This is not

00:23:04.460 my argument.

00:23:05.840 I'm just

00:23:06.240 giving the

00:23:06.900 argument,

00:23:07.480 so don't

00:23:08.460 blame me.

00:23:09.040 I'm just

00:23:09.300 telling you

00:23:09.580 what the

00:23:09.780 argument is.

00:23:10.280 it's not

00:23:12.280 a bad

00:23:12.520 argument.

00:23:13.780 I feel as

00:23:14.520 if I have

00:23:14.880 a little

00:23:15.100 conflict on

00:23:15.820 this one.

00:23:16.600 Don't you?

00:23:17.980 Don't you

00:23:18.500 have a little

00:23:18.860 conflict on

00:23:19.580 this one?

00:23:20.540 Because it

00:23:21.100 seems like

00:23:21.500 there are

00:23:21.760 two things

00:23:22.280 that we

00:23:22.980 want and

00:23:23.840 we can't

00:23:24.240 have them

00:23:24.580 both.

00:23:25.580 What we

00:23:26.140 would want,

00:23:26.960 perhaps,

00:23:27.580 is to use

00:23:28.200 any business

00:23:28.720 you want,

00:23:29.160 whether you're

00:23:29.520 vaccinated or

00:23:30.220 not.

00:23:30.940 Some of you

00:23:31.460 would,

00:23:31.800 many of you

00:23:32.280 wouldn't,

00:23:33.440 but you'd

00:23:34.380 also like

00:23:34.820 free markets.

00:23:36.700 Can't have

00:23:37.160 both, I

00:23:37.680 guess.

00:23:38.440 Pick one.

00:23:38.940 Well, Joe

00:23:40.520 Rogan

00:23:40.920 announces

00:23:41.560 good news.

00:23:42.480 He has

00:23:42.980 tested

00:23:45.440 negative for

00:23:46.140 COVID.

00:23:47.220 So I guess

00:23:48.220 he wasn't

00:23:48.640 vaccinated.

00:23:49.480 I'm pretty

00:23:50.060 sure that's

00:23:50.540 the story.

00:23:51.300 But he

00:23:51.840 did give

00:23:52.240 it the

00:23:52.620 whole

00:23:52.880 cocktail

00:23:53.380 of

00:23:53.980 therapeutics

00:23:55.020 from

00:23:55.500 monoclonals

00:23:57.680 to vitamin

00:23:58.360 D drip

00:23:59.000 to

00:23:59.680 ivermectin

00:24:01.560 to I

00:24:02.620 don't know

00:24:02.820 what else.

00:24:03.160 and he

00:24:08.120 says now

00:24:08.620 he's

00:24:08.940 testing

00:24:09.260 negative

00:24:09.680 for

00:24:10.360 COVID.

00:24:11.460 Now,

00:24:12.020 normally,

00:24:13.560 that would

00:24:14.560 only mean

00:24:15.020 that he

00:24:15.440 was negative

00:24:16.240 because the

00:24:17.180 test just

00:24:17.740 tests a

00:24:18.280 human being.

00:24:19.340 But what

00:24:19.840 if he

00:24:21.000 also had

00:24:21.760 horse worms

00:24:22.940 in his

00:24:23.400 digestive

00:24:23.860 system?

00:24:25.060 Could the

00:24:25.600 worms

00:24:25.920 themselves

00:24:26.440 also have

00:24:28.220 COVID?

00:24:28.780 Well, I'm

00:24:30.900 not sure that

00:24:31.400 that would be

00:24:31.780 picked up in

00:24:32.240 the test.

00:24:33.140 But we

00:24:33.680 don't have

00:24:33.960 to worry

00:24:34.240 about that

00:24:34.760 because he

00:24:35.420 took the

00:24:35.880 ivermectin.

00:24:37.320 And so

00:24:37.640 even if,

00:24:38.620 in the

00:24:38.820 unlikely event,

00:24:39.680 he had

00:24:39.980 any horse

00:24:40.580 worms in

00:24:41.620 him,

00:24:42.400 they would

00:24:42.840 be dead

00:24:43.160 too because

00:24:44.560 of the

00:24:44.760 ivermectin.

00:24:45.980 So I

00:24:46.720 think that's

00:24:47.220 as thoroughly

00:24:48.020 as dewormed

00:24:50.820 and devirused 0.99

00:24:52.620 as you can

00:24:53.120 get.

00:24:54.160 So Joe

00:24:54.860 Rogan might

00:24:55.440 be the

00:24:57.080 healthiest

00:24:57.740 person on

00:24:58.340 the planet

00:24:58.740 because not

00:25:01.320 only,

00:25:02.240 does he

00:25:02.780 not have

00:25:03.260 COVID,

00:25:04.320 he's

00:25:04.680 immune as

00:25:05.260 hell,

00:25:06.460 and he

00:25:07.500 definitely

00:25:07.920 does not

00:25:08.500 have worms.

00:25:10.220 So,

00:25:11.580 good on him

00:25:12.600 for being

00:25:13.460 that healthy.

00:25:14.620 But here's

00:25:15.100 the thing

00:25:15.380 to watch.

00:25:16.960 There is

00:25:17.600 a big,

00:25:18.980 big second

00:25:19.940 part of the

00:25:20.560 story,

00:25:22.000 and unless

00:25:23.880 something barks,

00:25:24.900 it's a dog

00:25:25.600 not barking

00:25:26.180 problem,

00:25:27.440 kind of.

00:25:27.880 I overuse

00:25:28.740 that analogy.

00:25:30.980 And it

00:25:31.880 goes like

00:25:32.260 this.

00:25:33.720 God

00:25:34.120 forbid,

00:25:35.060 nobody

00:25:35.400 wants this

00:25:35.820 to happen,

00:25:36.560 of course,

00:25:38.180 but what if

00:25:39.160 he has

00:25:39.540 long-haul

00:25:40.140 symptoms?

00:25:42.640 I don't

00:25:43.360 want to

00:25:43.620 jinx it,

00:25:44.240 so,

00:25:44.580 you know,

00:25:45.180 knock on

00:25:45.560 wood,

00:25:46.420 let's say

00:25:47.040 that he

00:25:47.300 doesn't have

00:25:47.800 that.

00:25:49.920 But there's

00:25:50.620 a risk here.

00:25:51.440 Remember I

00:25:51.820 was talking

00:25:52.220 about Tucker

00:25:53.260 Carlson

00:25:53.800 and the

00:25:54.120 big media

00:25:54.600 figures.

00:25:55.220 They do

00:25:55.660 change votes.

00:25:57.480 There are

00:25:57.840 20 people

00:25:59.040 or so you

00:25:59.560 could name

00:26:00.100 that absolutely

00:26:01.600 can change

00:26:02.580 how we think

00:26:03.140 about a topic

00:26:03.780 and they

00:26:04.120 can do it

00:26:04.480 overnight.

00:26:05.900 What happens

00:26:06.660 if he gets

00:26:07.180 long-haul?

00:26:08.960 Now,

00:26:09.220 I'm not even

00:26:09.620 sure long-haul

00:26:10.160 is real,

00:26:11.300 right?

00:26:12.060 I mean,

00:26:12.440 people report

00:26:13.160 it,

00:26:13.500 people are

00:26:13.880 very credible

00:26:14.520 in reporting

00:26:15.120 it,

00:26:15.460 doctors report

00:26:16.340 having it,

00:26:17.300 Dr. Drew,

00:26:17.980 for example.

00:26:19.160 So,

00:26:19.560 you know,

00:26:20.060 to me it

00:26:20.800 looks completely

00:26:21.640 credible.

00:26:23.260 Well,

00:26:23.580 you know,

00:26:24.140 we live

00:26:24.720 in a world

00:26:25.060 where we

00:26:25.460 could be

00:26:25.760 surprised about

00:26:26.400 just about

00:26:26.800 anything these

00:26:27.860 days.

00:26:28.260 So,

00:26:28.720 maybe it's

00:26:29.200 not even

00:26:29.600 real.

00:26:30.720 Maybe it's

00:26:31.220 just a series

00:26:32.160 of coincidences.

00:26:34.000 But,

00:26:34.680 what if it's

00:26:35.260 real?

00:26:36.180 Well,

00:26:36.360 actually,

00:26:36.640 even if it's

00:26:37.040 not.

00:26:38.880 If Joe

00:26:40.480 Rogan had

00:26:41.060 any kind

00:26:41.780 of health

00:26:42.060 problem

00:26:42.460 after this,

00:26:44.660 people are

00:26:45.160 going to

00:26:45.440 associate it

00:26:46.160 with long-haul

00:26:46.780 even if it's

00:26:47.420 not,

00:26:48.560 right?

00:26:49.240 So,

00:26:49.540 people are

00:26:49.900 going to be

00:26:50.200 watching his

00:26:51.280 post,

00:26:53.260 you know,

00:26:54.380 post-infection

00:26:55.200 recovery like

00:26:56.180 nobody else's

00:26:57.720 since Trump,

00:26:58.780 I guess.

00:27:00.020 And because

00:27:01.060 Joe Rogan is

00:27:02.100 sort of also

00:27:03.160 famous for his

00:27:04.260 healthy fitness

00:27:06.160 related lifestyle,

00:27:07.880 if he were to

00:27:08.860 get long-haul,

00:27:11.160 that's going to

00:27:11.580 change the whole

00:27:12.060 conversation.

00:27:13.340 So,

00:27:13.600 let's hope that

00:27:14.040 doesn't happen

00:27:14.660 for his benefit

00:27:15.780 primarily.

00:27:16.400 I almost

00:27:21.220 don't want to

00:27:21.660 even talk

00:27:22.100 about this

00:27:22.500 next thing

00:27:22.980 because it's

00:27:23.660 sad,

00:27:24.260 but I think

00:27:24.820 we need to

00:27:25.400 talk about it.

00:27:26.300 Dana Prino's

00:27:27.120 dog,

00:27:27.860 Jasper,

00:27:28.440 America's

00:27:28.900 dog,

00:27:29.280 has passed

00:27:29.800 away after

00:27:30.360 nine years.

00:27:31.700 And I've got

00:27:32.460 to say,

00:27:32.780 it's like the

00:27:33.200 saddest thing

00:27:33.820 that I've seen

00:27:34.420 in the news

00:27:34.940 in a long

00:27:35.320 time.

00:27:37.680 It actually

00:27:38.440 affected me.

00:27:39.860 I mean,

00:27:40.660 it's not even

00:27:41.320 my dog.

00:27:42.540 And if you

00:27:43.260 don't watch

00:27:43.740 Fox News,

00:27:44.440 you don't

00:27:44.780 know what

00:27:45.020 I'm talking

00:27:45.380 about,

00:27:45.720 but she

00:27:46.660 sort of

00:27:47.320 made her

00:27:47.920 personal dog

00:27:49.460 a character

00:27:51.500 that everybody

00:27:52.540 who watched

00:27:52.940 the show

00:27:53.380 would know

00:27:54.060 and love.

00:27:55.540 And quite

00:27:56.180 successfully

00:27:56.720 sort of built

00:27:57.600 it into her

00:27:58.080 brand and

00:27:58.660 stuff.

00:27:59.680 And you

00:28:00.820 ended up

00:28:01.280 loving that

00:28:01.800 dog even

00:28:02.440 though you

00:28:02.700 didn't know

00:28:03.040 it.

00:28:03.960 You felt

00:28:04.320 like you

00:28:04.640 knew it.

00:28:05.580 It was

00:28:05.840 like a dog

00:28:06.380 you felt

00:28:06.760 like you

00:28:07.160 knew.

00:28:07.940 And I

00:28:08.320 swear,

00:28:09.140 I don't

00:28:10.000 feel that

00:28:10.400 way when

00:28:10.740 humans die 0.89

00:28:11.580 unless I

00:28:13.060 know them

00:28:13.460 pretty well.

00:28:14.440 but somebody

00:28:16.640 else's dog

00:28:17.560 and I

00:28:19.200 become a

00:28:19.660 mess.

00:28:20.660 So that

00:28:21.900 is the

00:28:27.000 content that

00:28:27.760 I have

00:28:28.360 for today.

00:28:29.340 So as I

00:28:30.020 told you,

00:28:30.420 it's sort

00:28:30.680 of a slow

00:28:31.060 news day.

00:28:32.460 So I'm

00:28:33.000 going to

00:28:33.160 take some

00:28:33.560 questions if

00:28:34.380 you have

00:28:34.620 any.

00:28:35.480 Don't

00:28:35.760 know if

00:28:35.980 you have

00:28:36.180 any.

00:28:39.340 But I'll

00:28:40.120 pick out as

00:28:41.080 many as I

00:28:41.440 can.

00:28:41.780 So what

00:28:42.040 are the

00:28:42.240 odds we'll

00:28:42.640 be in

00:28:42.940 full pandemic

00:28:43.780 mode in

00:28:44.620 2022 when

00:28:45.820 the election

00:28:46.180 happens?

00:28:47.980 Not zero.

00:28:49.960 I don't

00:28:50.200 know.

00:28:50.420 It's like a

00:28:50.820 50-50,

00:28:51.540 I think.

00:28:53.600 You make

00:28:54.260 no news

00:28:54.800 fun.

00:28:55.220 How's

00:28:55.480 Boo? 0.54

00:28:56.700 Boo is

00:28:58.940 mewing

00:28:59.420 differently,

00:28:59.980 but she

00:29:00.600 seems happy.

00:29:03.480 It looks

00:29:04.000 like she's 0.64

00:29:06.900 maybe recovering

00:29:08.560 from whatever

00:29:09.140 her problem 0.98

00:29:09.560 was.

00:29:09.900 but I'll

00:29:11.000 have somebody

00:29:12.240 take a

00:29:12.620 look at

00:29:12.880 her.

00:29:16.440 What's the

00:29:17.120 recall election

00:29:17.940 looking like?

00:29:18.620 Well, I

00:29:18.900 don't know.

00:29:19.220 Can we

00:29:19.600 trust any

00:29:20.420 polls that

00:29:22.100 are close?

00:29:23.140 When the

00:29:23.680 polls are

00:29:24.200 saying that

00:29:24.800 something is

00:29:25.300 48% and

00:29:27.000 you need

00:29:27.400 50% to

00:29:28.340 talk about

00:29:28.980 the recall

00:29:29.460 election in

00:29:30.100 California,

00:29:31.340 that feels

00:29:32.520 too close

00:29:33.120 to call.

00:29:35.020 So I don't

00:29:35.780 have any

00:29:36.140 special insight

00:29:36.980 into that

00:29:37.480 except that

00:29:38.220 we might

00:29:39.500 see sort

00:29:40.960 of a

00:29:41.140 Trump

00:29:41.380 derangement

00:29:41.900 syndrome,

00:29:42.680 kind of a

00:29:43.280 shy voter

00:29:43.840 thing happening,

00:29:44.600 maybe.

00:29:45.600 So the

00:29:46.540 closer it

00:29:47.080 is to

00:29:47.420 50%,

00:29:48.080 I would

00:29:48.840 say the

00:29:49.440 higher the

00:29:50.020 likelihood

00:29:50.420 the recall

00:29:51.700 will happen.

00:29:53.220 Somebody has

00:29:53.760 a Dilbert

00:29:54.240 lunchbox over

00:29:55.100 on Locals.

00:29:56.000 Get a picture

00:29:56.400 of it.

00:29:57.640 The smoke

00:29:58.340 here is

00:29:58.660 terrible,

00:30:00.380 where I

00:30:01.620 am.

00:30:02.280 Will

00:30:02.440 hypnosis

00:30:02.940 help you

00:30:03.520 learn another

00:30:04.140 language?

00:30:04.660 I've never

00:30:05.100 heard of

00:30:05.900 that.

00:30:06.540 I would

00:30:07.380 be skeptical

00:30:08.060 that that

00:30:08.540 would be

00:30:08.860 a useful

00:30:09.600 use of

00:30:11.020 it.

00:30:14.060 Would

00:30:14.580 you do

00:30:14.880 a mini

00:30:15.200 lesson on

00:30:15.860 overcoming

00:30:16.480 OCD?

00:30:17.520 Well,

00:30:17.860 so here's

00:30:18.280 the problem.

00:30:22.020 Because I'm

00:30:24.300 not a

00:30:24.700 medical

00:30:25.020 professional,

00:30:26.340 something as

00:30:27.040 serious as

00:30:27.600 OCD,

00:30:28.280 that's not

00:30:28.640 really something

00:30:29.100 that I'd

00:30:29.420 mess with.

00:30:30.540 So just

00:30:31.560 being a

00:30:32.760 hypnotist who

00:30:33.680 knows about

00:30:34.160 persuasion,

00:30:35.020 that doesn't

00:30:35.900 get you to

00:30:36.520 where you

00:30:36.860 should be

00:30:37.240 messing with

00:30:37.960 OCD.

00:30:39.140 Now,

00:30:39.320 there may

00:30:39.580 be some

00:30:40.460 things I

00:30:40.800 could suggest

00:30:41.340 that you

00:30:41.620 could try

00:30:42.040 that would

00:30:42.380 be obviously

00:30:43.560 harmless,

00:30:45.240 but beyond

00:30:46.180 that, I

00:30:46.580 wouldn't.

00:30:47.620 I'd stay

00:30:48.240 away from

00:30:48.580 that one,

00:30:49.120 I think.

00:30:53.020 Where do

00:30:53.600 I buy my

00:30:54.160 weed?

00:30:54.560 I'd rather

00:30:55.000 not say,

00:30:55.660 but it's

00:30:56.000 legal in

00:30:56.500 California.

00:30:56.940 I love

00:30:59.360 the fact

00:30:59.700 that it

00:30:59.920 can be

00:31:00.180 delivered.

00:31:05.400 I'll tell

00:31:05.960 you,

00:31:06.180 golden age.

00:31:07.380 Best time

00:31:08.180 management tip?

00:31:09.160 I'm going to

00:31:09.520 give you the

00:31:09.920 most non-obvious

00:31:12.040 time management

00:31:12.820 tip you'll

00:31:13.560 deliver here.

00:31:15.000 Do too

00:31:15.700 many things.

00:31:17.380 Now,

00:31:17.600 you say to

00:31:17.880 yourself,

00:31:18.200 well,

00:31:18.320 that's pretty

00:31:20.740 contrarian.

00:31:21.560 If you have

00:31:22.120 too many

00:31:22.420 things to do,

00:31:23.160 then you're

00:31:23.740 busier.

00:31:25.040 How is

00:31:25.600 that good

00:31:26.480 time management?

00:31:27.640 Well,

00:31:27.940 one of the

00:31:28.200 things I

00:31:28.460 discovered when

00:31:29.180 Dilbert took

00:31:29.820 off, and I

00:31:30.440 was still

00:31:30.720 doing my

00:31:31.160 day job,

00:31:31.840 and I was

00:31:32.140 trying to

00:31:32.500 write a

00:31:32.800 book, and

00:31:33.320 I was so

00:31:34.280 busy, you

00:31:34.780 couldn't even

00:31:35.200 believe it.

00:31:36.780 I found out

00:31:37.660 that it was

00:31:38.040 easier to

00:31:38.680 turn people

00:31:39.260 down if

00:31:40.860 they knew

00:31:41.240 how busy

00:31:41.700 you were.

00:31:42.820 So if you

00:31:43.300 get busy

00:31:43.800 enough to

00:31:45.260 the point

00:31:45.600 where everybody

00:31:46.280 says,

00:31:46.740 he's never

00:31:47.260 going to

00:31:47.500 even answer,

00:31:48.480 take my

00:31:49.080 call.

00:31:50.660 When you're

00:31:51.340 so legendarily

00:31:52.540 busy,

00:31:53.080 that people

00:31:54.680 don't even

00:31:55.280 ask you

00:31:55.820 something,

00:31:56.300 because they

00:31:56.600 know you're

00:31:57.260 never going

00:31:57.620 to get to

00:31:58.040 it, then

00:31:59.500 you're free.

00:32:01.540 And it's

00:32:02.200 really hard to

00:32:02.780 get there.

00:32:04.300 But I'm

00:32:04.920 going to

00:32:05.300 reveal a

00:32:05.940 secret.

00:32:09.140 I'm going to

00:32:09.740 tell you

00:32:10.020 something I've

00:32:10.560 never admitted

00:32:11.260 for my entire

00:32:12.480 career.

00:32:15.680 Those years

00:32:16.620 when I was

00:32:17.160 the busiest,

00:32:18.040 and I was

00:32:18.620 legitimately

00:32:19.100 quite busy,

00:32:20.180 it was really

00:32:21.240 easy to find

00:32:22.060 time for

00:32:22.520 myself.

00:32:23.480 Because I

00:32:24.020 could just

00:32:24.340 say, I'm

00:32:24.660 so busy,

00:32:25.200 I can't

00:32:25.520 get back

00:32:25.840 to you.

00:32:26.740 And it

00:32:27.300 was true.

00:32:28.540 But because

00:32:29.300 of that,

00:32:30.540 I could just

00:32:31.180 ignore everybody.

00:32:32.580 Because everybody

00:32:33.340 thought I was

00:32:33.960 working on

00:32:34.420 something else.

00:32:35.820 So if I

00:32:36.480 didn't get

00:32:36.840 back to you,

00:32:37.340 you thought,

00:32:37.740 well, I

00:32:38.180 understand,

00:32:38.660 he's got

00:32:38.940 ten things

00:32:39.460 to do.

00:32:40.520 But since

00:32:41.240 nineteen and

00:32:42.040 twenty things

00:32:42.720 were going

00:32:43.060 to be late

00:32:43.580 anyway,

00:32:44.980 I could just

00:32:45.460 take the

00:32:45.800 day off.

00:32:47.700 And so,

00:32:48.860 if you

00:32:49.700 could push

00:32:50.180 all the way

00:32:51.060 past busy,

00:32:51.880 to the

00:32:53.040 point where

00:32:53.540 you're so

00:32:54.260 busy you

00:32:54.700 can't

00:32:54.960 possibly get

00:32:55.680 things done,

00:32:56.720 like nobody

00:32:57.340 would even

00:32:57.760 expect that

00:32:59.040 you could

00:32:59.340 possibly handle

00:33:00.280 the mountain

00:33:00.780 of things you

00:33:01.280 have to do,

00:33:02.100 once you

00:33:02.580 get there,

00:33:03.720 you're free.

00:33:04.780 I've never

00:33:06.900 admitted that

00:33:07.520 before.

00:33:08.160 It was my

00:33:08.700 finest trick,

00:33:09.680 and I

00:33:09.960 discovered it

00:33:11.240 completely by

00:33:11.920 accident,

00:33:12.360 when people

00:33:13.480 would start

00:33:13.860 contacting me

00:33:14.600 and saying,

00:33:15.240 I know you

00:33:15.740 can't get

00:33:16.120 back to me,

00:33:16.720 but,

00:33:17.560 I'd be like,

00:33:18.700 well, I

00:33:19.120 guess I'm

00:33:19.500 free.

00:33:21.260 It was

00:33:22.160 awesome.

00:33:26.480 How was

00:33:27.080 the air

00:33:27.340 show?

00:33:27.760 So,

00:33:28.040 Christina's

00:33:28.580 in her

00:33:28.940 second day

00:33:29.480 of the

00:33:29.700 air show

00:33:30.020 today.

00:33:30.360 So,

00:33:31.660 she did

00:33:32.380 two flights

00:33:32.920 yesterday,

00:33:34.240 and she's

00:33:35.440 got, I

00:33:36.140 think, at

00:33:36.960 least one

00:33:37.460 more, maybe

00:33:37.980 two more

00:33:38.400 today, and

00:33:39.840 then we'll

00:33:40.400 have some

00:33:40.760 kind of a

00:33:41.140 judging, I

00:33:41.680 guess.

00:33:44.660 Will the

00:33:45.420 recall vote

00:33:46.060 in California

00:33:46.600 have shenanigans?

00:33:48.860 Well, I

00:33:49.960 feel we're at

00:33:50.560 the point where

00:33:51.240 elections are

00:33:52.080 determined by

00:33:52.720 the rule

00:33:53.200 makers, not

00:33:53.960 the voters,

00:33:55.140 because everything

00:33:55.740 ends up close

00:33:56.700 in terms of

00:33:57.360 the voters,

00:33:58.340 and the

00:33:58.680 difference is

00:33:59.360 what rules

00:33:59.960 they use

00:34:00.340 that year.

00:34:01.700 Did you

00:34:02.060 allow ballot

00:34:02.960 harvesting, yes

00:34:03.840 or no?

00:34:04.400 So, I

00:34:04.660 think all

00:34:04.920 that stuff

00:34:05.420 determines who

00:34:06.240 gets elected.

00:34:12.920 Let's see.

00:34:16.640 WenHub tokens.

00:34:18.320 Well, I

00:34:18.820 wish I could

00:34:19.280 give you

00:34:19.680 better news

00:34:20.280 on the

00:34:20.560 WenHub tokens,

00:34:21.400 but I will

00:34:21.780 tell you that

00:34:22.700 there is at

00:34:23.780 least one

00:34:24.800 app under

00:34:26.240 development that

00:34:27.080 would make

00:34:27.560 use of them.

00:34:28.800 Now,

00:34:29.060 that's not

00:34:30.620 enough of a

00:34:31.380 tip to

00:34:31.760 go out

00:34:32.060 and load

00:34:33.320 up on

00:34:33.760 Wen tokens,

00:34:35.280 but it's

00:34:35.860 true.

00:34:36.880 I do have

00:34:38.080 personal

00:34:38.500 knowledge of

00:34:39.140 an app

00:34:39.540 that's under

00:34:40.680 development

00:34:41.160 that would

00:34:43.480 use the

00:34:43.860 tokens.

00:34:46.280 What is the

00:34:46.940 proper spelling

00:34:47.500 of your

00:34:48.000 wife's name? 1.00

00:34:48.780 Oh, it's

00:34:49.160 K-R-I, 1.00

00:34:51.280 Christina.

00:34:51.740 everything is

00:34:58.260 close.

00:34:58.800 Yeah, that's

00:34:59.260 true.

00:35:02.760 Can you

00:35:03.380 start over?

00:35:04.080 Sure.

00:35:05.360 Do you

00:35:05.700 like trains?

00:35:07.120 That is an

00:35:08.000 interesting question.

00:35:08.940 Do I like

00:35:09.540 trains?

00:35:10.900 Well, I

00:35:11.480 like their

00:35:12.220 energy

00:35:14.140 efficiency,

00:35:15.660 but otherwise

00:35:17.460 I'm not too

00:35:18.420 excited about

00:35:18.920 it.

00:35:19.080 Oh, thank

00:35:21.620 you, Ed.

00:35:22.840 Yeah, you

00:35:24.200 know, I

00:35:24.720 heard a lot

00:35:25.240 about that.

00:35:26.320 So Ed is

00:35:26.840 talking about

00:35:27.460 how during

00:35:28.340 the early

00:35:28.820 part of the

00:35:29.180 pandemic I

00:35:29.820 was doing

00:35:30.280 morning and

00:35:31.680 evening live

00:35:33.840 streams.

00:35:34.680 And I was

00:35:35.340 doing it

00:35:35.640 specifically

00:35:36.140 because people

00:35:36.860 needed to be

00:35:37.440 talked off the

00:35:38.180 ledge and the

00:35:39.300 regular media

00:35:40.040 wasn't providing

00:35:40.900 much entertainment,

00:35:42.020 so I was just

00:35:43.920 jumping in to do

00:35:44.580 what I could.

00:35:45.060 Now, I

00:35:46.260 didn't realize

00:35:46.780 how much

00:35:47.140 difference it

00:35:48.040 made, because

00:35:49.280 I'm still

00:35:49.760 hearing, you

00:35:50.520 know, a year

00:35:50.980 later, people

00:35:52.460 are still

00:35:52.800 contacting me

00:35:53.640 and telling

00:35:54.120 me that some

00:35:56.060 version of it

00:35:56.700 really helped

00:35:57.780 them or saved

00:35:58.520 their life or

00:35:59.260 kept them sane

00:36:00.580 or something

00:36:01.500 along those

00:36:02.060 lines.

00:36:02.700 So you

00:36:03.300 never know.

00:36:04.620 Yeah, and I'm

00:36:05.220 seeing in the

00:36:05.640 comments people

00:36:06.280 are confirming

00:36:07.800 that.

00:36:08.320 You never

00:36:08.660 really know,

00:36:10.100 swamp captain.

00:36:11.060 I'm still

00:36:15.500 seeing the

00:36:16.900 blanket that I

00:36:17.860 used during the

00:36:18.500 pandemic.

00:36:19.880 By the way, how

00:36:20.760 many of you

00:36:21.560 know the

00:36:22.980 inside joke

00:36:23.940 about the

00:36:24.740 blanket?

00:36:26.140 And I'm not

00:36:26.640 going to tell

00:36:26.980 you what the

00:36:27.660 answer is, but

00:36:29.200 how many in the

00:36:29.860 comments, how

00:36:30.920 many know that

00:36:31.920 the plaid

00:36:33.500 blanket was

00:36:34.280 always an

00:36:34.780 inside joke?

00:36:37.900 I've seen

00:36:38.440 some people say

00:36:39.100 yes.

00:36:39.780 Now, most of

00:36:40.400 you won't know

00:36:40.920 it.

00:36:41.060 so it would

00:36:41.840 be unusual

00:36:42.320 if you knew

00:36:42.880 it.

00:36:43.660 But let's

00:36:45.280 say it's a

00:36:45.700 deep joke.

00:36:48.920 It's a

00:36:49.520 reference to

00:36:50.080 something.

00:36:51.820 So that

00:36:52.460 can be your

00:36:53.760 homework.

00:36:58.320 If I told

00:36:59.560 you, it

00:36:59.860 would ruin

00:37:00.280 it.

00:37:01.060 So I

00:37:01.480 would tell

00:37:01.980 you, because

00:37:02.960 I agree with

00:37:04.540 the rule that

00:37:06.200 if you bring

00:37:06.820 it up, you

00:37:07.920 need to

00:37:08.280 finish it.

00:37:09.300 Do you

00:37:09.620 have that

00:37:09.920 rule?

00:37:10.140 The rule

00:37:12.260 should be

00:37:12.620 that if

00:37:13.000 you bring

00:37:13.320 it up, you

00:37:14.340 should have

00:37:14.660 to finish

00:37:15.060 it.

00:37:16.440 But I was

00:37:17.040 waiting for

00:37:17.420 somebody in the

00:37:17.920 comments to do

00:37:18.620 it for me.

00:37:19.200 All right.

00:37:19.420 So on

00:37:19.760 locals, somebody

00:37:20.840 solved the

00:37:21.740 puzzle.

00:37:22.700 Yeah.

00:37:23.140 So it's a

00:37:23.620 reference to

00:37:24.160 something in a

00:37:25.300 book I wrote

00:37:25.900 called God's

00:37:26.920 Debris.

00:37:27.300 book.

00:37:28.300 And if I

00:37:30.420 finished explaining

00:37:31.540 what that's

00:37:32.560 about, it

00:37:33.380 would be a

00:37:33.960 spoiler for

00:37:34.640 the book.

00:37:35.560 So you

00:37:35.860 don't want to

00:37:36.240 hear it from

00:37:36.560 me.

00:37:36.780 So don't

00:37:37.260 spoil the

00:37:38.020 book.

00:37:38.460 I'll just

00:37:38.840 say that it

00:37:39.260 was a

00:37:39.780 reference to

00:37:42.360 something.

00:37:43.080 And if you

00:37:43.680 knew what the

00:37:44.000 reference is,

00:37:45.400 it would be

00:37:46.500 funny to you.

00:37:47.640 That's all.

00:37:49.520 All right.

00:37:49.820 King Salmon

00:37:50.480 Fish says,

00:37:51.180 it's easier to

00:37:52.600 hack the

00:37:52.920 people than

00:37:53.380 the systems.

00:37:54.680 Even some

00:37:55.220 lamestreams,

00:37:56.200 decide the

00:37:57.500 fate of the

00:37:57.840 end.

00:37:58.240 Yeah, you

00:37:58.740 know, that's

00:38:00.000 probably true.

00:38:00.560 It's easier to

00:38:01.300 brainwash the

00:38:02.040 voters than it

00:38:02.700 is to hack

00:38:03.220 the system.

00:38:04.400 But if you

00:38:05.100 can do both,

00:38:06.560 even better.

00:38:14.940 So let me

00:38:16.820 ask this.

00:38:17.940 For those of

00:38:18.580 you on

00:38:18.880 YouTube, did

00:38:20.060 today's live

00:38:20.840 streams seem

00:38:21.520 any different?

00:38:24.720 To the

00:38:25.320 people on

00:38:25.760 Locals,

00:38:27.800 wink,

00:38:28.460 wink,

00:38:28.860 wink.

00:38:30.660 So just

00:38:31.440 for the

00:38:31.800 YouTube

00:38:32.020 people, was

00:38:33.280 there anything

00:38:33.780 different that

00:38:35.240 you noticed

00:38:35.720 today?

00:38:38.460 The lights?

00:38:39.640 Somebody said,

00:38:40.140 oh, yes,

00:38:40.540 it's just a

00:38:41.020 little bit

00:38:41.280 darker.

00:38:41.920 It's true.

00:38:43.500 Somebody said

00:38:44.400 the mic.

00:38:48.880 Somebody said

00:38:49.540 it's slower.

00:38:50.840 darker

00:38:51.440 lighting,

00:38:52.240 some audio

00:38:52.740 issues.

00:38:54.380 Mary just

00:38:54.940 says yes,

00:38:55.520 but doesn't

00:38:55.880 say what.

00:38:57.960 Most of you

00:38:58.580 think it's

00:38:59.040 the lighting.

00:39:01.640 Oh,

00:39:02.060 somebody says

00:39:02.860 that my

00:39:03.180 energy was,

00:39:04.180 I guess,

00:39:04.880 both high

00:39:05.400 and low.

00:39:08.120 So did

00:39:08.780 my energy

00:39:09.280 go up and

00:39:09.740 down?

00:39:10.120 Was that

00:39:10.420 it?

00:39:11.320 My T-shirt.

00:39:13.020 What's

00:39:13.480 different is

00:39:13.860 my T-shirt.

00:39:14.540 So it

00:39:17.720 looks like

00:39:18.240 this was

00:39:19.640 just like

00:39:20.240 every other

00:39:20.940 live stream,

00:39:22.520 except for

00:39:23.140 the lighting

00:39:23.700 and possibly,

00:39:25.220 no, it's

00:39:25.500 not a

00:39:25.760 V-neck. 0.89

00:39:26.500 I'm just

00:39:27.200 being sloppy

00:39:27.880 here.

00:39:28.640 I used

00:39:29.060 two microphones

00:39:29.760 because I'm

00:39:30.620 live streaming.

00:39:31.800 By the way,

00:39:32.420 let me give you

00:39:33.040 an update on

00:39:33.840 my attempt

00:39:35.380 to live

00:39:36.080 stream on

00:39:36.580 the Rumble

00:39:37.180 platform.

00:39:38.020 We're still

00:39:41.240 in the

00:39:41.620 phase where

00:39:42.240 I ask to

00:39:43.000 be a

00:39:43.560 creator and

00:39:44.180 then nothing

00:39:44.580 happens.

00:39:46.500 So I'll

00:39:47.600 keep updating

00:39:48.220 you.

00:39:49.380 So we're

00:39:50.240 on day

00:39:50.700 whatever of

00:39:52.180 either I'm

00:39:53.520 waiting for

00:39:53.900 them or

00:39:54.300 they're waiting

00:39:54.740 for me.

00:39:56.140 So it's

00:39:57.200 always one of

00:39:57.940 those things

00:39:58.360 and I'm

00:39:58.860 part of the

00:39:59.220 problem myself.

00:40:06.380 All right.

00:40:07.280 I think

00:40:07.620 that's all I

00:40:08.180 wanted to

00:40:08.480 talk about

00:40:08.900 today.

00:40:09.680 So I'm

00:40:10.340 going to

00:40:10.500 go run.

00:40:11.300 Oh,

00:40:11.600 somebody says

00:40:12.040 how's the

00:40:12.440 drumming?

00:40:13.780 Let me tell

00:40:14.440 you,

00:40:14.640 the process

00:40:15.660 of learning

00:40:16.400 drumming at

00:40:17.420 my age is

00:40:18.440 way more

00:40:19.420 interesting than

00:40:20.940 I think

00:40:21.360 if I'd

00:40:22.540 learned it

00:40:23.160 as a kid.

00:40:24.700 Now part of

00:40:25.140 the problem

00:40:25.380 is of course

00:40:25.860 I'll never

00:40:26.280 be good at

00:40:26.900 it because

00:40:27.380 if you don't

00:40:27.780 learn it,

00:40:28.480 at least

00:40:28.940 young-ish,

00:40:29.840 I don't

00:40:30.040 think you

00:40:30.320 could ever

00:40:30.620 be good

00:40:31.020 at it.

00:40:32.120 And so I'm

00:40:33.600 just trying to

00:40:34.040 get to the

00:40:34.400 point where I

00:40:34.860 could play along

00:40:35.840 with some

00:40:36.260 popular song.

00:40:37.380 Now I think

00:40:38.520 I'll get

00:40:39.080 there.

00:40:39.360 I'm getting

00:40:39.520 pretty close.

00:40:40.720 But it's

00:40:42.440 fascinating to

00:40:43.120 follow the

00:40:43.680 thought process,

00:40:44.780 the learning

00:40:45.220 process, to

00:40:46.640 learn about

00:40:47.580 how you

00:40:48.140 learn and

00:40:49.300 to watch it

00:40:50.160 happen as

00:40:50.800 it's happening

00:40:51.280 and such.

00:40:51.720 and there's

00:40:53.140 a whole

00:40:53.380 mental process

00:40:54.520 that you

00:40:55.500 have to

00:40:55.880 get and

00:40:56.900 you're

00:40:57.720 effectively

00:40:58.400 you're

00:40:58.980 rewiring

00:41:00.400 your own

00:41:00.840 brain.

00:41:02.420 And the

00:41:02.940 fact that

00:41:03.380 you can

00:41:03.900 disassociate

00:41:05.640 your limbs

00:41:06.380 so that

00:41:07.780 your right

00:41:08.200 hand,

00:41:08.680 your left

00:41:09.060 hand,

00:41:09.500 your right

00:41:09.920 leg,

00:41:10.600 and your

00:41:10.840 left leg,

00:41:12.100 and maybe

00:41:13.280 even your

00:41:13.660 shoulders,

00:41:14.860 are independently

00:41:15.960 and then

00:41:16.720 your brain

00:41:17.620 are all

00:41:19.800 doing different

00:41:20.400 functions.

00:41:22.540 And the

00:41:23.620 fact that,

00:41:24.700 especially at

00:41:25.600 my age,

00:41:26.420 to imagine

00:41:26.800 that at

00:41:27.160 my age,

00:41:28.460 somewhat

00:41:29.020 effortlessly,

00:41:30.500 I just

00:41:31.160 practice until

00:41:31.960 I have

00:41:33.420 what's called

00:41:33.960 separation,

00:41:35.300 meaning that

00:41:35.760 my limbs

00:41:36.240 can operate

00:41:36.840 separately and

00:41:37.620 I can put

00:41:38.260 them on

00:41:38.560 automatic and

00:41:39.880 then I can

00:41:40.260 think of

00:41:40.660 other things.

00:41:41.820 Like thinking

00:41:42.600 about the

00:41:42.980 weather,

00:41:43.760 while all

00:41:44.200 five of my

00:41:44.740 limbs are

00:41:45.380 playing like

00:41:46.760 a beat.

00:41:48.320 It's amazing.

00:41:49.160 you wouldn't

00:41:50.660 think it's

00:41:51.040 even possible.

00:41:53.660 But watching

00:41:54.400 that happen

00:41:54.820 is just

00:41:55.160 really just

00:41:55.640 fascinating.

00:41:56.240 You can

00:41:56.400 feel your

00:41:56.780 brain getting

00:41:57.240 rewired.

00:42:00.280 Yeah,

00:42:00.820 five of

00:42:01.200 my limbs

00:42:01.640 because my

00:42:02.540 shoulder's

00:42:03.020 involved.

00:42:03.680 That's my

00:42:03.960 fifth limb.

00:42:05.020 The video

00:42:05.460 is great.

00:42:05.980 How did I

00:42:06.360 solve it?

00:42:06.840 Well,

00:42:06.980 I'm using

00:42:07.280 just a

00:42:07.840 cheap

00:42:08.380 lavalier

00:42:09.300 clip-on

00:42:09.940 for YouTube,

00:42:11.300 but I'm

00:42:11.800 going through

00:42:12.240 a Rodecaster

00:42:13.220 Pro.

00:42:14.000 It's a

00:42:14.420 mixer.

00:42:15.520 So I think

00:42:15.980 that does a

00:42:16.420 little bit

00:42:16.760 of something

00:42:17.220 to it.

00:42:17.560 On the

00:42:18.500 Locals platform,

00:42:19.300 I started

00:42:19.660 just going

00:42:20.140 directly in

00:42:20.720 because I've

00:42:21.180 got a new

00:42:22.100 iPad and

00:42:23.820 I don't know

00:42:24.360 if the

00:42:25.380 processor is

00:42:25.980 better or

00:42:26.340 something.

00:42:27.200 But the

00:42:27.620 audio seems

00:42:28.280 to work

00:42:28.580 great on

00:42:29.120 Locals as

00:42:30.940 well.

00:42:39.220 What do

00:42:39.900 you know

00:42:40.480 you cannot

00:42:41.260 share?

00:42:43.060 Oh,

00:42:43.560 that's such a

00:42:44.140 tantalizing

00:42:44.660 question.

00:42:45.560 That would

00:42:46.020 be cheating

00:42:46.460 because if

00:42:47.360 I told

00:42:47.680 you what

00:42:48.040 I know

00:42:48.560 but I

00:42:49.060 can't

00:42:49.400 share,

00:42:50.940 that would

00:42:51.600 sort of

00:42:51.900 obligate me

00:42:52.480 to tell

00:42:52.820 you.

00:42:53.540 Because you

00:42:53.900 hate to

00:42:54.480 bring up

00:42:54.840 something you

00:42:55.300 know.

00:42:56.020 It would

00:42:56.200 be like

00:42:56.520 if I

00:42:57.140 told you,

00:42:58.020 well,

00:42:58.360 I know

00:42:59.040 about the

00:42:59.460 UFOs,

00:43:00.460 but I

00:43:01.260 can't tell

00:43:01.800 you.

00:43:02.520 How much

00:43:02.880 would you

00:43:03.140 hate that?

00:43:04.880 By the way,

00:43:05.480 I don't know

00:43:05.960 about the

00:43:06.320 UFOs.

00:43:07.140 I mean,

00:43:07.800 I have an

00:43:08.280 opinion that

00:43:10.000 they're not

00:43:10.440 real,

00:43:11.060 but I don't

00:43:11.760 know.

00:43:12.040 give us

00:43:21.160 a little

00:43:21.460 chunk of 0.97

00:43:21.920 cheese.

00:43:23.900 Well,

00:43:24.480 let me

00:43:24.660 say this.

00:43:26.180 I will

00:43:26.720 tell you

00:43:27.100 that there

00:43:29.100 will probably

00:43:30.120 be additional

00:43:31.580 real stories

00:43:32.840 of the

00:43:33.880 Trump

00:43:34.840 era.

00:43:37.100 So I

00:43:38.200 can tell

00:43:38.580 you that

00:43:38.980 my version

00:43:39.860 of what

00:43:40.500 happened for

00:43:41.140 the last

00:43:41.460 five years

00:43:42.120 does not

00:43:43.040 match yours.

00:43:45.000 And that

00:43:45.420 there would

00:43:46.020 be some

00:43:46.420 number of

00:43:46.920 people who

00:43:47.540 are,

00:43:48.380 let's say,

00:43:49.040 further behind

00:43:50.160 the curtain,

00:43:51.380 you know,

00:43:51.660 even than I

00:43:52.260 am,

00:43:52.880 who would

00:43:53.140 have yet

00:43:53.580 other

00:43:54.140 versions.

00:43:55.600 And I

00:43:57.080 think where

00:43:57.500 they differ

00:43:58.000 is knowing

00:43:59.160 what mattered.

00:44:01.100 Because there

00:44:01.780 are lots of

00:44:02.180 ways you can

00:44:02.620 look into

00:44:03.140 that house.

00:44:04.340 You know,

00:44:04.460 you can look

00:44:04.820 into the

00:44:05.160 house through

00:44:05.520 all kinds

00:44:05.860 of different

00:44:06.200 windows and

00:44:06.780 doors.

00:44:07.860 But not

00:44:08.960 everything

00:44:09.360 matters.

00:44:10.040 and there

00:44:11.360 are versions

00:44:11.960 of what

00:44:12.480 happened in

00:44:13.760 which a

00:44:14.420 different set

00:44:15.180 of variables

00:44:15.760 are believed

00:44:17.160 to be the

00:44:17.640 ones that

00:44:18.000 mattered.

00:44:19.460 So I'll

00:44:20.160 just say

00:44:20.500 that.

00:44:21.020 But it's

00:44:21.360 more than

00:44:21.720 one view.

00:44:22.540 I'm not

00:44:22.980 saying that

00:44:23.360 there's one

00:44:23.980 magical view

00:44:24.840 and that's

00:44:25.440 mine and

00:44:25.880 that's the

00:44:26.180 one you

00:44:26.400 would adopt.

00:44:29.680 All right,

00:44:30.420 I'll be a

00:44:31.560 dick and I'll 1.00

00:44:32.060 tell you,

00:44:32.620 this is pretty

00:44:34.140 dickish,

00:44:35.120 but I'll

00:44:35.460 tell you one

00:44:35.920 thing,

00:44:36.200 that you

00:44:38.780 don't have

00:44:39.260 any idea

00:44:39.960 what topics

00:44:42.100 I've influenced

00:44:42.980 directly.

00:44:44.360 And I'm

00:44:44.660 talking about

00:44:45.120 really directly.

00:44:46.620 And you

00:44:47.580 probably never

00:44:48.140 will.

00:44:49.460 Because by

00:44:50.260 their nature,

00:44:52.320 you know,

00:44:52.720 there are things

00:44:53.520 that I either

00:44:54.280 would never be

00:44:54.960 able to talk

00:44:55.420 about or not

00:44:56.500 for a long

00:44:57.000 time.

00:44:58.000 But there's a

00:45:00.100 whole lot going

00:45:00.780 on that I

00:45:02.380 had some

00:45:03.100 kind of

00:45:03.800 substantial

00:45:04.820 impact on

00:45:06.540 that you'll

00:45:07.140 just never

00:45:07.520 hear about.

00:45:09.500 And so

00:45:11.640 much so that

00:45:12.340 if I tell

00:45:12.860 anybody privately,

00:45:14.320 you know,

00:45:14.480 because privately

00:45:15.020 there's nothing

00:45:15.940 I wouldn't talk

00:45:16.580 about.

00:45:16.820 None of it

00:45:17.160 is state

00:45:17.500 secrets,

00:45:18.040 by the way.

00:45:18.700 I'm not

00:45:19.220 talking about

00:45:19.700 any kind

00:45:20.080 of like,

00:45:20.840 you know,

00:45:21.180 deep,

00:45:22.360 like shocking

00:45:23.160 secrets that

00:45:23.960 would change

00:45:24.620 the nature

00:45:25.020 of reality.

00:45:25.920 I'm just

00:45:26.380 talking about

00:45:26.760 things I

00:45:27.180 know that

00:45:27.680 other people

00:45:28.700 might not

00:45:29.900 know.

00:45:30.120 and it

00:45:34.900 would really

00:45:35.360 change your

00:45:35.980 view of

00:45:36.680 things.

00:45:37.220 But anyway,

00:45:37.600 when I tell

00:45:38.020 people privately,

00:45:38.880 they literally

00:45:39.300 don't believe

00:45:39.800 it.

00:45:41.020 So one of

00:45:41.680 the reasons

00:45:42.020 that I

00:45:42.360 can't tell

00:45:42.840 you,

00:45:43.740 or I can't

00:45:44.300 tell you in

00:45:44.740 public,

00:45:45.460 and I'm not

00:45:45.840 talking about

00:45:46.220 one thing,

00:45:46.940 I'm talking

00:45:47.200 about a

00:45:47.640 collection of

00:45:48.760 things,

00:45:49.260 you know,

00:45:49.400 more like a

00:45:50.620 narrative that's

00:45:51.320 a little different

00:45:51.820 than the one

00:45:52.200 you've seen,

00:45:53.620 it's literally

00:45:54.960 not believable.

00:45:56.900 Actually,

00:45:57.500 literally,

00:45:57.920 not believable.

00:46:01.080 And so it

00:46:01.840 really prevents

00:46:02.380 me from telling

00:46:03.020 it,

00:46:03.360 because it's

00:46:03.920 not believable.

00:46:05.200 It would be

00:46:05.560 like,

00:46:06.740 for example,

00:46:07.940 this is not

00:46:08.860 the case,

00:46:09.380 but it would

00:46:09.940 be like this.

00:46:11.140 It would be

00:46:11.500 like an

00:46:11.900 actual angel

00:46:12.880 came down

00:46:13.620 and talked

00:46:14.140 to me

00:46:14.460 privately,

00:46:15.620 and gave

00:46:16.060 me some

00:46:16.440 secrets,

00:46:17.860 and then I

00:46:18.900 went and

00:46:19.180 said,

00:46:19.400 hey,

00:46:20.160 you're not

00:46:20.680 going to

00:46:20.900 believe this.

00:46:22.320 But an

00:46:22.760 angel,

00:46:23.920 no,

00:46:24.180 no,

00:46:24.280 a real

00:46:24.540 one,

00:46:25.000 a real

00:46:25.360 angel came

00:46:25.840 to me and

00:46:26.700 gave me

00:46:27.040 some secrets,

00:46:27.920 and then

00:46:29.580 you'd say,

00:46:30.020 well,

00:46:30.340 okay,

00:46:30.760 we're done

00:46:31.080 here.

00:46:31.860 I do

00:46:32.320 not believe

00:46:32.920 an angel

00:46:33.460 talked to

00:46:34.000 you.

00:46:34.540 And I'd

00:46:34.740 say,

00:46:34.900 no,

00:46:35.040 no,

00:46:35.180 that's not

00:46:35.660 the important

00:46:36.020 part.

00:46:36.340 Let me

00:46:36.560 tell you

00:46:36.780 the secrets.

00:46:38.300 And you'd

00:46:38.640 be like,

00:46:39.180 maybe keep

00:46:40.600 your secrets,

00:46:41.340 because I

00:46:41.680 don't believe

00:46:42.260 an angel

00:46:42.880 came down to

00:46:44.020 earth and

00:46:44.260 talked to

00:46:44.580 you.

00:46:45.080 And I'd

00:46:45.520 be like,

00:46:45.920 don't get

00:46:46.580 obsessed by

00:46:47.100 that part.

00:46:47.980 I'm just

00:46:48.360 going to

00:46:48.600 tell you

00:46:48.960 what he

00:46:50.000 told me.

00:46:51.020 Like,

00:46:51.440 eh,

00:46:52.120 maybe not.

00:46:54.280 Yeah,

00:46:54.720 I know what

00:46:55.040 you're thinking.

00:46:55.380 All right.

00:46:58.580 So that's

00:46:59.360 all for

00:46:59.660 now.

00:47:00.860 And I

00:47:02.060 will talk

00:47:02.460 to all

00:47:02.880 of you

00:47:03.260 tomorrow.

00:47:05.480 See you

00:47:05.980 then.
