Summary

Joe Rogan is considering suing CNN for defamation over a story about him taking horse dewormer, and I give my thoughts on whether or not it's appropriate to do so. I also talk about the new micro-learning platform Rumble, and why I think it's worth it.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody.
00:00:06.500 What a great day.
00:00:09.420 Well, so far, I don't know what you say on September 11th.
00:00:15.840 Probably not happy September 11th.
00:00:19.000 But I'm not going to talk about that too much because there'll be plenty of that in the news
00:00:23.580 and you don't need any more of it.
00:00:26.320 And I'm sure you're not going to forget it.
00:00:28.380 But, hey, is there anybody here who'd like to take it up a notch?
00:00:34.500 Is there?
00:00:35.780 Is there anybody here who wants to have a really good time?
00:00:38.860 Well, you came to the right place.
00:00:42.220 And all you need to take it up a notch is a cup or a mug or a glass,
00:00:45.800 a tag or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask,
00:00:48.440 a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:51.480 I like coffee.
00:00:53.340 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine to the end of the day.
00:00:56.540 The thing that makes everything better.
00:00:58.380 It's called Simultaneous Sip.
00:01:01.680 It happens now.
00:01:02.400 Go.
00:01:09.040 That's some good stuff.
00:01:11.860 Now, let me find something here that I should have had ready for you
00:01:17.440 the moment I logged on.
00:01:20.360 There it is.
00:01:21.060 So I tried to live stream on the Rumble platform as well.
00:01:27.840 I was planning to do that this morning, but I couldn't make it work.
00:01:32.800 I got some kind of technical problem.
00:01:35.240 I don't know what to do about it.
00:01:36.660 I don't know how anybody signs up for Rumble.
00:01:40.280 I mean, I'm not criticizing it.
00:01:43.020 I'm just curious.
00:01:45.480 Why is it that no matter how hard I try, I can't sign on and just use it?
00:01:51.320 So, I assume it's just me because I have a lot of users.
00:01:56.300 So, but it's only the live stream portion.
00:01:58.640 And I think that might be still in beta.
00:02:00.560 I'm not sure.
00:02:02.420 But you can watch us here on YouTube and the locals platform.
00:02:07.940 Speaking of the locals platform, subscription service,
00:02:13.540 I now have 149 micro lessons up there.
00:02:18.460 So if you're a subscriber, you can see 149, roughly two minutes apiece,
00:02:25.320 video lessons.
00:02:26.620 And each one is designed to give you a skill,
00:02:31.380 an actual useful skill in two minutes.
00:02:34.460 So, if you had been a subscriber since the beginning,
00:02:38.440 you would have 149 extra skills in one year.
00:02:46.500 149 extra skills in one year.
00:02:51.840 Now, most of you would say,
00:02:53.420 oh, you know, I don't know if every one of these lessons applies to me directly,
00:02:56.560 but I think 50 to 100 of them would easily.
00:03:01.200 Imagine adding 50 skills to your skill stack here.
00:03:09.520 I think it's worth it.
00:03:11.360 Anyway, CNN fake news.
00:03:13.780 I guess Joe Rogan is thinking about suing them
00:03:15.920 because some reporter claimed that he took, quote,
00:03:19.500 horse dewormer to treat COVID.
00:03:23.360 And as Joe Rogan would like you to know,
00:03:26.840 what he took came from a doctor.
00:03:28.700 You know, people with a medical degree and all that.
00:03:32.860 He didn't take the horse version of it.
00:03:36.980 And I'm sure the CNN's viewers actually think he took, you know,
00:03:42.080 some kind of a horse-based product and chewed on it for a while.
00:03:46.720 But no, that didn't happen.
00:03:48.380 So here's the question.
00:03:49.240 Is it appropriate to sue somebody for this kind of defamation, I guess it would be?
00:03:58.200 And I'm generally anti-lawsuit for this sort of thing, so I wouldn't do it.
00:04:02.860 But it seems like it might be important.
00:04:07.780 You know, I kind of doubt Joe Rogan will do it.
00:04:11.100 He just doesn't seem like the, you know, from the outside looking in,
00:04:14.320 and he doesn't look like the kind of guy who wants to waste his time on lawsuits.
00:04:18.380 I mean, what could be a less good use of your own time?
00:04:23.200 But he does have an interesting situation in which his reputation affects his brand,
00:04:29.800 and his brand affects his income,
00:04:31.140 and it could be very expensive to have CNN telling people
00:04:35.060 that you're taking a horse dewormer.
00:04:37.140 That does not build confidence in your audience.
00:04:41.300 So I feel like he has a case.
00:04:44.740 That doesn't mean you necessarily want to pursue it,
00:04:48.000 because that's a lifestyle decision.
00:04:49.960 But it looks like he's got a case, you know,
00:04:52.400 just sort of on the conceptual level,
00:04:55.280 not necessarily on the legal level.
00:04:58.580 Here's a question.
00:04:59.480 If you were single,
00:05:03.020 would you date, during the pandemic,
00:05:06.400 somebody who was not vaccinated?
00:05:09.100 Now, here in my question,
00:05:10.840 I'm assuming that you are.
00:05:12.380 If you're, you know,
00:05:13.380 if you're not vaccinated too,
00:05:14.720 you don't care, probably.
00:05:17.140 But if you're vaccinated,
00:05:19.780 would you date somebody who is not vaccinated?
00:05:24.500 I'm seeing mostly yeses.
00:05:26.060 I see one no.
00:05:29.600 Almost all yeses.
00:05:31.140 Interesting.
00:05:33.060 I think you're wrong.
00:05:34.340 You're all wrong.
00:05:36.400 I know you think it's your opinion.
00:05:38.760 You can't be wrong about your own opinion, can you?
00:05:41.780 Oh, yeah, you can.
00:05:43.480 Here's the correct answer.
00:05:45.640 It depends how hot the person is.
00:05:47.520 If you're dating somebody who's super hot,
00:05:55.340 maybe you don't care if they're vaccinated.
00:05:57.740 You'll take your chances.
00:06:02.060 But let's say it's somebody who's just,
00:06:05.100 they're about as good as you are, right?
00:06:07.780 They're not better than you.
00:06:09.200 They're about the same quality of date as you are.
00:06:13.300 Well, in those cases,
00:06:15.440 it might not take as much to knock me off the path.
00:06:21.020 So the correct answer is always.
00:06:24.420 Depends how hot that person is.
00:06:26.900 It reminds me of one of my favorite stories
00:06:28.800 from my corporate days.
00:06:30.160 I used to work in a big company,
00:06:32.680 and I worked in the technical laboratory.
00:06:36.120 And a big discussion in the laboratory one day
00:06:39.240 was about the use of one of the drawers
00:06:41.940 because it was a shared space.
00:06:43.900 So you had to kind of decide, you know,
00:06:45.960 what was in each drawer so everybody was happy.
00:06:48.180 And one of the drawers,
00:06:50.360 we were trying to decide
00:06:51.380 if it should be the snack drawer,
00:06:53.920 where you keep all our snacks,
00:06:55.800 or should it be the extra screwdriver drawer
00:06:58.920 because you always needed screwdrivers
00:07:01.160 for, you know, playing with your technology.
00:07:04.400 And so I said to my boss at the time,
00:07:07.600 I said, what do you think?
00:07:08.840 Do you think we should put the food in there
00:07:10.660 or the screwdrivers?
00:07:11.660 And my boss looked at me,
00:07:15.080 and in a mannerism that could only be compared to Buddha,
00:07:20.680 possibly Gandhi,
00:07:22.520 he answered the question of,
00:07:24.380 should there be screwdrivers or food in the drawer this way?
00:07:28.800 He said,
00:07:31.740 well, actually, the way I asked the question,
00:07:34.100 it was the setup.
00:07:35.580 So I went to my boss and said,
00:07:37.500 should we have screwdrivers or food?
00:07:41.660 You know, in other words,
00:07:42.700 should we be screwing or eating
00:07:44.840 is the way I asked the question.
00:07:47.640 Hey, Mike,
00:07:48.280 do you think we should be screwing or eating?
00:07:51.120 And Mike looked at me,
00:07:52.200 and he said,
00:07:52.700 without missing a beat,
00:07:54.180 depends how hungry you are.
00:07:58.380 I'm just going to let that sit there.
00:08:02.100 My old boss,
00:08:03.420 who, by the way, named Dilber,
00:08:05.040 he came up with a name
00:08:06.060 when I was just thinking about it as a comic.
00:08:09.300 Everything you need to know
00:08:10.740 about human beings
00:08:13.380 in one statement,
00:08:15.600 I said,
00:08:16.160 would you rather screw or eat?
00:08:18.600 And he said,
00:08:19.600 depends how hungry I am.
00:08:22.900 That's the whole thing.
00:08:24.700 That's everything.
00:08:26.620 That's everything you need to know about people.
00:08:29.620 It's done.
00:08:30.800 You could just take that formula
00:08:32.320 and apply it to everything,
00:08:34.460 and it would explain everything.
00:08:36.460 All right.
00:08:41.000 Apparently,
00:08:41.800 in San Francisco,
00:08:43.080 the school kids
00:08:44.080 are 90% vaccinated,
00:08:47.480 and what do you get
00:08:48.380 when you have 90%
00:08:49.840 vaccinated school kids?
00:08:53.600 Listen to this.
00:08:54.960 90% of them are vaccinated,
00:08:57.040 and what do they get for that?
00:09:00.660 Zero infections.
00:09:01.740 90% are vaccinated.
00:09:07.180 Zero infections.
00:09:09.600 Zero.
00:09:11.920 Do vaccinations work?
00:09:14.760 I don't know.
00:09:15.380 I mean,
00:09:15.680 I don't know how many of them
00:09:17.060 they would have had otherwise,
00:09:18.860 but I think some.
00:09:20.920 Right?
00:09:21.420 Feels like there would have been some.
00:09:22.660 So I just put that out there.
00:09:28.300 I'm hearing a lot of people
00:09:29.400 making the analogy
00:09:30.400 that the vaccination decision
00:09:32.640 and the abortion decision
00:09:33.740 are kind of similar,
00:09:35.540 meaning that
00:09:36.220 who has control over your body?
00:09:39.880 Do you have control over your body?
00:09:41.880 Well,
00:09:42.180 the pro-abortion people would say,
00:09:43.780 yes,
00:09:44.280 yes.
00:09:45.260 It's your body,
00:09:46.060 and it's your choice,
00:09:47.720 they would say.
00:09:48.880 But why don't they say the same
00:09:50.460 for vaccinations?
00:09:51.220 That's the point
00:09:52.240 that I'm seeing on social media.
00:09:54.420 Why isn't it the same?
00:09:56.120 My body,
00:09:57.040 my choice,
00:09:57.840 right?
00:09:59.080 Well,
00:09:59.620 here's my take on that argument.
00:10:01.360 It's ridiculous.
00:10:03.060 They're just different situations.
00:10:04.900 Every situation
00:10:05.600 you should look at uniquely
00:10:07.740 and make a decision uniquely.
00:10:11.660 Do we ever tell people
00:10:13.400 what to do with their bodies?
00:10:16.940 All the time.
00:10:18.340 Do you know
00:10:21.020 what civilization is?
00:10:23.760 It's the government
00:10:24.640 telling you
00:10:25.120 what to do with your body.
00:10:27.340 That's what civilization is.
00:10:29.540 It's the government
00:10:30.360 telling you
00:10:31.640 what you can
00:10:32.300 and cannot do
00:10:32.960 with your body.
00:10:34.600 You don't believe me?
00:10:36.320 Try walking down
00:10:37.480 the middle of a freeway
00:10:38.760 during rush hour.
00:10:41.360 Just stand in the middle
00:10:42.740 of the lane
00:10:43.280 and just take a walk
00:10:44.620 during rush hour.
00:10:46.380 See how it turns out.
00:10:48.360 Your body
00:10:48.960 isn't allowed there.
00:10:51.660 It's your body.
00:10:52.800 Why can't you
00:10:53.240 make your own decisions
00:10:54.060 about what your body does?
00:10:55.940 Nope.
00:10:57.200 Civilization
00:10:57.640 doesn't work that way.
00:11:00.380 How about
00:11:01.160 if you want to
00:11:02.040 drive your car
00:11:02.800 without your seatbelt?
00:11:05.080 Hey,
00:11:05.700 it's your life.
00:11:07.500 Nope.
00:11:08.340 Can't drive your car
00:11:09.240 without your seatbelt.
00:11:11.660 How about,
00:11:12.480 let's see,
00:11:13.060 what else?
00:11:13.800 How about
00:11:14.120 a polio vaccination?
00:11:15.980 Let's say
00:11:16.340 you don't want one.
00:11:17.800 Can you just say,
00:11:18.480 I don't want
00:11:19.040 my polio vaccination?
00:11:20.540 Does that work out
00:11:21.140 for you?
00:11:22.020 Nope.
00:11:22.960 Nope.
00:11:23.360 You're going to
00:11:23.680 have to get one.
00:11:24.820 How about
00:11:25.420 drinking and driving?
00:11:27.660 Hey,
00:11:28.020 it's your body.
00:11:29.360 Right?
00:11:29.960 If you want to
00:11:30.680 put alcohol
00:11:31.200 in your body
00:11:32.060 and then put
00:11:33.860 your body
00:11:34.780 in a car
00:11:35.300 and drive
00:11:36.620 your body
00:11:37.160 around in your car,
00:11:38.040 that should be
00:11:40.140 legal, right?
00:11:41.320 Well,
00:11:41.560 it's not.
00:11:42.360 It's not legal.
00:11:43.080 How about
00:11:45.460 doing drugs
00:11:46.600 before going to work?
00:11:48.540 Can you do
00:11:49.140 a bunch of cocaine
00:11:50.280 and, you know,
00:11:51.860 shoot up a bunch
00:11:52.700 of stuff
00:11:53.080 and then go to work?
00:11:53.960 Well,
00:11:54.180 people do.
00:11:55.280 But if they get caught,
00:11:57.020 probably get fired.
00:11:58.660 Probably get fired.
00:11:59.760 But why can't you
00:12:00.640 do a bunch of drugs
00:12:01.480 and go to work?
00:12:02.060 It's your body.
00:12:03.440 It's your body.
00:12:04.160 Who tells you
00:12:04.600 what you can do
00:12:05.120 with your body?
00:12:07.120 Civilization.
00:12:07.520 Civilization.
00:12:09.500 Civilization
00:12:09.900 tells you
00:12:11.120 where your damn
00:12:11.860 body can be
00:12:12.700 and what your damn
00:12:14.080 body can do.
00:12:15.320 Period.
00:12:16.420 If you want to do
00:12:17.500 anything you want
00:12:18.260 with your body,
00:12:18.900 you can.
00:12:19.980 But you have to
00:12:20.580 leave civilization.
00:12:23.300 Right?
00:12:23.660 Now,
00:12:24.060 having said that,
00:12:25.760 does it make sense
00:12:26.980 that you say,
00:12:27.720 well,
00:12:28.240 if this is how
00:12:29.160 we treat seatbelts,
00:12:30.560 this is how we should
00:12:31.780 treat a COVID
00:12:32.700 vaccination?
00:12:33.560 No.
00:12:34.320 No.
00:12:35.120 Just look at them
00:12:35.760 all individually.
00:12:36.480 Everything is going
00:12:38.060 to be its own
00:12:38.500 decision.
00:12:39.780 But decisions
00:12:40.860 by analogy
00:12:41.560 is just crazy.
00:12:44.640 Apparently,
00:12:45.360 the botched
00:12:46.060 Afghanistan withdrawal
00:12:47.880 was even more
00:12:49.240 botched than we
00:12:50.380 imagined.
00:12:51.400 Do you remember
00:12:51.860 that Biden
00:12:52.820 drone attack
00:12:53.720 on what we
00:12:55.700 thought was
00:12:56.180 some ISIS
00:12:56.760 bad people?
00:12:57.940 A planner,
00:12:58.800 they said.
00:12:59.640 An ISIS planner.
00:13:02.220 Well,
00:13:02.820 it wasn't maybe
00:13:03.500 an ISIS planner.
00:13:04.480 I think the New
00:13:04.920 York Times did
00:13:05.580 an investigation
00:13:06.280 and found out
00:13:07.760 it was less
00:13:08.440 an ISIS planner
00:13:09.420 than it was
00:13:10.340 a citizen
00:13:12.440 who works
00:13:13.160 for some
00:13:14.320 American entity.
00:13:16.060 Basically,
00:13:16.780 somebody on our
00:13:17.540 side.
00:13:19.480 And there
00:13:20.560 might not have
00:13:21.160 been any
00:13:21.780 secondary
00:13:22.380 explosions,
00:13:24.140 or it's not
00:13:25.260 clear that we
00:13:25.920 could determine
00:13:26.860 it.
00:13:27.740 So it looks
00:13:28.860 like what we
00:13:29.440 did was drop
00:13:30.720 bombs on
00:13:31.560 innocent people
00:13:32.500 and claimed
00:13:34.980 victory
00:13:35.540 and tried
00:13:37.560 to get
00:13:37.900 away with
00:13:38.280 it.
00:13:40.580 Ouch.
00:13:42.840 I don't
00:13:43.580 know that
00:13:44.120 you could
00:13:44.540 fail harder
00:13:45.460 than the
00:13:45.880 United States
00:13:46.560 failed in
00:13:47.240 Afghanistan.
00:13:47.820 I mean,
00:13:48.800 just,
00:13:49.420 and, you
00:13:50.520 know,
00:13:50.900 adding tragedy
00:13:51.780 to tragedy,
00:13:52.980 killing
00:13:53.260 innocents,
00:13:54.200 worst possible
00:13:55.160 thing.
00:13:57.600 But, wow.
00:13:59.720 And as
00:14:00.840 Glenn Greenwald
00:14:01.980 and others
00:14:02.980 have pointed
00:14:03.900 out,
00:14:04.980 why is
00:14:07.280 General Milley
00:14:08.040 still employed?
00:14:10.580 Seriously?
00:14:12.180 Nobody got
00:14:12.880 fired for
00:14:13.540 Afghanistan?
00:14:15.320 Nobody.
00:14:16.580 Nobody got
00:14:17.240 fired for
00:14:17.800 that.
00:14:18.940 Well,
00:14:19.760 that's fine
00:14:20.800 if you don't
00:14:21.400 want to win
00:14:21.820 in 2020,
00:14:22.700 Democrats,
00:14:23.520 and you want
00:14:24.200 a Republican
00:14:24.740 president next
00:14:25.560 time.
00:14:27.120 Because this,
00:14:27.960 to me,
00:14:28.240 seems like a
00:14:28.820 big deal.
00:14:30.080 It would be
00:14:30.560 one thing to
00:14:31.140 make a mistake.
00:14:33.160 And you've
00:14:33.880 heard me say
00:14:34.360 a million times
00:14:35.160 that, you
00:14:35.820 know,
00:14:35.940 let's be at
00:14:37.380 least a little
00:14:37.820 realistic about
00:14:38.800 the fact that
00:14:39.380 even our
00:14:39.880 leaders are
00:14:40.400 going to
00:14:40.560 make a
00:14:40.940 mistakes.
00:14:42.000 Because they
00:14:42.480 don't have
00:14:42.780 perfect
00:14:43.160 information.
00:14:44.460 They've got
00:14:44.680 to guess.
00:14:46.180 Unfortunately,
00:14:46.820 leaders have
00:14:47.240 to guess
00:14:47.560 sometimes.
00:14:48.540 So they've
00:14:48.840 got to
00:14:48.980 make some
00:14:49.400 mistakes.
00:14:50.980 But the
00:14:52.160 Afghanistan
00:14:52.580 mistakes, you
00:14:53.460 have to fire
00:14:54.180 somebody for
00:14:54.820 that.
00:14:55.100 There has
00:14:55.360 to be
00:14:55.580 accountability.
00:14:56.940 And I
00:14:57.160 just don't
00:14:57.520 know why
00:14:57.900 Milley is
00:14:58.720 still in
00:14:59.300 his job.
00:15:01.620 Bill Maher
00:15:02.360 continues to
00:15:03.160 go after
00:15:03.600 the left
00:15:04.780 for their
00:15:05.340 silliness.
00:15:06.160 He goes
00:15:06.420 after the
00:15:06.780 right, of
00:15:07.240 course.
00:15:07.860 But the
00:15:08.880 left, as he
00:15:09.460 pointed out,
00:15:10.000 is just getting
00:15:10.500 more ridiculous.
00:15:11.800 And it
00:15:12.240 is literally
00:15:13.260 embarrassing him.
00:15:15.480 So Bill Maher
00:15:16.120 says he's just
00:15:16.720 literally embarrassed
00:15:17.720 by the people
00:15:18.320 on his own
00:15:18.880 side, I
00:15:19.660 guess.
00:15:20.880 But the
00:15:21.680 latest
00:15:21.960 weirdness is
00:15:22.680 that there's,
00:15:23.480 did you know
00:15:23.940 there's something
00:15:24.380 called the
00:15:24.800 Black National
00:15:25.540 Anthem?
00:15:25.960 And apparently
00:15:27.580 at last
00:15:28.080 night's football
00:15:28.720 game, I
00:15:29.200 don't know
00:15:29.400 which one
00:15:29.720 it was,
00:15:30.680 but Alicia
00:15:31.180 Keys sang
00:15:32.360 Lift Every
00:15:32.820 Voice and
00:15:33.280 Sing, and
00:15:34.860 there was
00:15:35.260 also the
00:15:35.900 regular
00:15:36.360 National
00:15:37.420 Anthem.
00:15:38.380 So now we
00:15:38.880 have the
00:15:39.240 regular
00:15:39.600 National
00:15:40.080 Anthem and
00:15:40.620 then the
00:15:40.960 special
00:15:41.280 Black
00:15:41.660 National
00:15:42.120 Anthem.
00:15:42.480 Can you
00:15:43.940 think of
00:15:44.260 anything that
00:15:44.680 would be
00:15:44.960 dumber
00:15:45.260 than that?
00:15:47.520 What would
00:15:47.940 be dumber
00:15:48.340 than that?
00:15:48.900 persuasion
00:15:53.880 wise, you're
00:15:55.420 persuading the
00:15:56.220 country to
00:15:56.700 be more
00:15:57.080 divided.
00:15:57.760 That's the
00:15:58.120 opposite of
00:15:59.200 the reason
00:15:59.580 for a
00:15:59.940 National
00:16:00.220 Anthem.
00:16:00.560 The whole
00:16:01.500 National
00:16:01.880 Anthem idea
00:16:02.700 is to get
00:16:03.900 everybody on
00:16:04.400 the same
00:16:04.740 side.
00:16:05.700 As soon as
00:16:06.420 you throw
00:16:06.760 in that
00:16:07.080 other
00:16:07.400 National
00:16:07.860 Anthem,
00:16:08.360 you've
00:16:08.520 reduced any
00:16:10.940 need for
00:16:11.360 it.
00:16:12.020 So let
00:16:12.360 me say
00:16:12.640 this.
00:16:15.180 Either do
00:16:16.260 one National
00:16:17.000 Anthem, I
00:16:17.600 don't care
00:16:17.900 what it
00:16:18.280 is,
00:16:18.900 or get
00:16:20.000 rid of
00:16:20.340 it.
00:16:21.400 But don't
00:16:21.820 do two.
00:16:23.460 Two is the
00:16:24.260 dumbest
00:16:24.720 solution.
00:16:26.060 One, pretty
00:16:27.120 good.
00:16:27.860 I like that.
00:16:29.340 None,
00:16:30.500 acceptable.
00:16:32.100 So one or
00:16:33.020 none,
00:16:34.160 National
00:16:34.540 Anthem,
00:16:35.040 completely
00:16:35.460 acceptable.
00:16:36.580 More than
00:16:37.100 one?
00:16:38.200 More than
00:16:38.740 one.
00:16:40.060 No.
00:16:40.920 That's the
00:16:41.360 opposite of a
00:16:42.220 National
00:16:42.560 Anthem.
00:16:43.780 That's a
00:16:44.300 divisive
00:16:45.600 anthem or
00:16:47.040 something.
00:16:47.380 You know,
00:16:48.880 if you're
00:16:49.820 going to
00:16:50.200 aggressively
00:16:50.860 try to
00:16:51.440 do the
00:16:51.760 opposite of
00:16:52.360 what you
00:16:52.660 want to
00:16:53.060 happen,
00:16:54.420 don't expect
00:16:55.180 people not
00:16:55.700 to notice.
00:17:01.220 New
00:17:01.800 information says
00:17:02.680 that people
00:17:03.300 who were not
00:17:04.420 fully vaccinated,
00:17:05.540 in the spring
00:17:06.100 anyway,
00:17:07.080 in the summer
00:17:07.620 were more than
00:17:08.380 ten times more
00:17:09.260 likely to be
00:17:09.900 hospitalized and
00:17:11.860 die.
00:17:12.220 ten times.
00:17:15.500 Ten times more
00:17:16.620 likely to be
00:17:17.440 hospitalized and
00:17:18.440 died.
00:17:20.920 Did you know
00:17:21.780 that?
00:17:22.940 Does that
00:17:23.440 fit with what
00:17:25.780 you kind of
00:17:26.540 think it is?
00:17:28.400 You know,
00:17:28.700 whatever it is
00:17:29.340 that you think
00:17:29.880 is the
00:17:30.640 effectiveness of
00:17:32.540 the vaccines,
00:17:33.920 when you hear
00:17:34.560 that,
00:17:35.040 does it track
00:17:36.140 with what you
00:17:37.220 generally thought
00:17:37.900 it would be?
00:17:38.280 No,
00:17:42.160 I think,
00:17:43.560 in this case,
00:17:44.660 I think you
00:17:45.220 would look at
00:17:45.900 the obese
00:17:46.660 compared to
00:17:47.240 the obese
00:17:47.760 and the
00:17:48.140 non-obese
00:17:48.680 compared to
00:17:49.160 the non-obese.
00:17:50.120 It would still
00:17:50.660 be ten times,
00:17:52.060 I think,
00:17:53.820 unless,
00:17:54.520 I don't know.
00:17:56.020 No,
00:17:56.580 I'll take that
00:17:57.260 back.
00:17:57.600 I don't think
00:17:57.980 you would
00:17:58.260 necessarily find
00:17:58.920 that to be
00:18:00.380 smoothly
00:18:01.140 distributed.
00:18:06.640 You said
00:18:07.380 persuading us
00:18:08.140 to get the
00:18:08.520 vaccine was
00:18:09.180 unethical,
00:18:10.500 please stop.
00:18:13.060 Can you
00:18:13.600 not handle
00:18:14.140 facts?
00:18:17.340 Because
00:18:17.780 it's just
00:18:19.540 a reporting
00:18:21.040 that,
00:18:21.620 well,
00:18:21.840 I don't know
00:18:22.140 if it's a
00:18:22.560 fact,
00:18:23.900 I don't know
00:18:24.460 if the base
00:18:24.980 is a fact,
00:18:26.140 but it's a
00:18:26.700 fact that it's
00:18:27.240 reported in
00:18:27.880 the news.
00:18:28.840 That's a
00:18:29.180 fact.
00:18:30.140 If you
00:18:31.000 can't handle
00:18:31.480 facts,
00:18:32.820 how do you
00:18:34.700 operate?
00:18:36.920 If
00:18:37.180 you're
00:18:38.640 accidentally
00:18:39.120 getting
00:18:39.560 persuaded
00:18:40.800 by
00:18:41.260 facts,
00:18:43.180 don't you
00:18:43.820 think you
00:18:44.180 should be
00:18:44.800 persuaded?
00:18:46.340 Really?
00:18:47.860 I mean,
00:18:48.220 if you're
00:18:48.780 persuaded by
00:18:49.380 a fact,
00:18:50.020 that's good,
00:18:50.840 right?
00:18:51.600 How is that
00:18:52.100 bad?
00:18:53.540 Let's say I
00:18:54.300 told you a
00:18:54.780 fact that you
00:18:55.560 checked out
00:18:56.380 and it was
00:18:56.820 actually a
00:18:57.300 fact,
00:18:58.140 and it had
00:18:58.740 the impact
00:18:59.500 of changing
00:19:00.060 your mind.
00:19:00.660 did I
00:19:01.960 persuade you?
00:19:04.080 Facts are
00:19:04.680 not
00:19:04.880 persuasion
00:19:05.400 in the
00:19:06.340 way that
00:19:06.680 I view
00:19:07.000 the world.
00:19:07.940 A fact
00:19:08.380 is just
00:19:08.740 a fact,
00:19:10.060 and if I
00:19:10.960 report them
00:19:11.540 in the
00:19:11.800 order that
00:19:12.400 they arrive,
00:19:13.820 that's not
00:19:14.680 persuasion.
00:19:15.740 Could it
00:19:16.100 persuade you?
00:19:16.720 Yes.
00:19:17.400 Yes.
00:19:17.900 Because anything
00:19:18.680 that comes
00:19:19.180 across your
00:19:19.620 head could
00:19:20.020 persuade you,
00:19:21.180 but there's
00:19:22.020 no intention
00:19:22.640 if you're
00:19:23.600 just talking
00:19:24.000 about facts.
00:19:25.040 There's no
00:19:25.640 intention there.
00:19:26.860 If I
00:19:27.400 wanted to
00:19:27.700 persuade you,
00:19:28.180 I wouldn't
00:19:28.440 use facts.
00:19:29.220 Do you
00:19:30.740 get that?
00:19:31.840 If I
00:19:32.480 wanted to
00:19:33.020 persuade you,
00:19:33.960 I probably
00:19:34.380 wouldn't use
00:19:34.980 facts.
00:19:37.320 Somebody says
00:19:38.100 you failed
00:19:38.560 yesterday.
00:19:39.320 Well,
00:19:39.600 that's
00:19:39.860 untrue.
00:19:41.700 That's
00:19:42.180 untrue.
00:19:42.600 Yesterday when
00:19:43.340 I told you
00:19:44.000 that it
00:19:44.380 would persuade
00:19:45.120 some people,
00:19:46.320 I did hear
00:19:47.020 from people
00:19:47.520 who were
00:19:47.860 persuaded.
00:19:49.100 So when
00:19:49.440 you say
00:19:49.700 it didn't
00:19:50.000 work,
00:19:51.440 talk to
00:19:51.880 the people
00:19:52.200 who said
00:19:52.560 they changed
00:19:53.000 their minds
00:19:53.400 because of it.
00:19:54.640 Now remember,
00:19:55.200 persuasion
00:19:55.600 doesn't get
00:19:56.100 everybody.
00:19:56.780 It's not
00:19:57.080 supposed to.
00:19:58.180 I mean,
00:19:58.420 it's not
00:19:58.660 really
00:19:58.920 designed to
00:19:59.740 do that.
00:20:00.700 But persuasion
00:20:01.300 can get
00:20:01.720 5% on
00:20:02.860 a good
00:20:03.080 day.
00:20:04.260 That's a
00:20:04.620 lot.
00:20:05.600 If you
00:20:05.960 could move
00:20:06.380 5% of
00:20:07.180 a crowd
00:20:07.660 in one
00:20:08.100 day,
00:20:09.500 wow,
00:20:10.260 that would
00:20:10.660 be like a
00:20:11.060 superpower.
00:20:12.200 And I
00:20:12.500 think I
00:20:12.820 might have.
00:20:13.200 I think I
00:20:13.600 might have
00:20:13.840 moved 2%
00:20:14.740 to 5%.
00:20:15.900 The other
00:20:20.000 information we
00:20:20.680 have is,
00:20:21.700 this is kind
00:20:22.440 of good news
00:20:22.940 for me,
00:20:24.380 is that the
00:20:25.420 Moderna
00:20:25.860 vaccination seems
00:20:26.940 to be the
00:20:27.360 good one.
00:20:27.780 By quite a
00:20:29.560 bit,
00:20:30.020 actually.
00:20:30.520 Now they
00:20:30.780 all seem
00:20:31.140 to be
00:20:31.580 protective,
00:20:33.160 but apparently
00:20:33.740 the Moderna
00:20:34.400 one just
00:20:34.940 totally kicks
00:20:36.320 ass on the
00:20:36.940 other ones.
00:20:37.980 Now it's
00:20:38.740 good we
00:20:39.120 didn't know
00:20:39.560 that.
00:20:40.600 Well,
00:20:41.460 let me ask
00:20:42.680 this question.
00:20:44.000 Do you
00:20:44.280 think we
00:20:44.620 didn't know
00:20:45.020 that earlier?
00:20:47.160 Do you
00:20:47.500 think that
00:20:48.540 somebody,
00:20:51.240 official,
00:20:52.340 do you think
00:20:52.660 that somebody
00:20:53.060 wasn't aware
00:20:54.020 aware that
00:20:54.920 the Moderna
00:20:55.440 would outperform
00:20:56.520 the other
00:20:56.860 ones?
00:20:57.760 I think this
00:20:58.660 is like the
00:20:59.200 mask situation
00:21:00.320 in the early
00:21:00.900 days.
00:21:01.880 I feel as if
00:21:02.940 we knew this
00:21:03.560 but didn't
00:21:04.000 want to tell
00:21:04.460 the public.
00:21:05.920 Because if you
00:21:06.620 told the public,
00:21:07.440 then they would
00:21:07.980 wait for the
00:21:08.560 good one,
00:21:09.280 and there
00:21:09.560 wouldn't be
00:21:09.840 enough of it.
00:21:10.480 So I
00:21:11.880 think that
00:21:12.440 the government
00:21:13.900 may have
00:21:15.300 lied to you.
00:21:17.580 I don't
00:21:18.180 know that,
00:21:18.980 so this is
00:21:19.500 not based on
00:21:20.120 facts.
00:21:21.280 But it
00:21:22.400 feels to me
00:21:23.140 that if the
00:21:23.920 government,
00:21:24.320 let's put an
00:21:25.060 if on this,
00:21:25.860 if the
00:21:26.320 government knew
00:21:26.920 that Moderna
00:21:27.540 was the
00:21:28.540 best performer,
00:21:30.440 and they
00:21:31.400 had to,
00:21:32.080 right?
00:21:33.340 Don't you
00:21:33.960 think they've
00:21:34.400 known this
00:21:34.820 for a while?
00:21:36.080 Because all
00:21:36.600 you have to
00:21:36.900 do is study,
00:21:37.700 just look at
00:21:38.740 the antibodies,
00:21:39.500 right?
00:21:40.480 Whoever has
00:21:40.940 the most
00:21:41.240 antibodies,
00:21:41.980 well, that
00:21:42.220 was the
00:21:42.520 best vaccination.
00:21:44.320 And they
00:21:45.540 didn't just
00:21:45.940 start looking
00:21:46.440 at the
00:21:46.700 antibodies
00:21:47.160 yesterday,
00:21:48.320 right?
00:21:49.420 Of course
00:21:50.180 they've known
00:21:50.640 this.
00:21:51.720 Isn't this
00:21:52.200 another example
00:21:52.920 where the
00:21:53.440 government
00:21:53.800 almost certainly
00:21:55.120 lied to you?
00:21:56.840 Now, I think
00:21:57.500 they lied to
00:21:58.020 you for your
00:21:58.420 own benefit,
00:21:59.860 and that
00:22:00.660 might even
00:22:01.240 be true.
00:22:02.420 Well, no,
00:22:03.020 I take that
00:22:03.500 back.
00:22:04.520 They didn't
00:22:05.080 lie to you
00:22:05.600 for your
00:22:05.960 own benefit.
00:22:07.920 They lied
00:22:08.420 to you for
00:22:08.960 the country's
00:22:10.160 benefit, which
00:22:10.920 might have
00:22:11.220 been bad
00:22:11.600 for you.
00:22:12.900 Because suppose
00:22:13.700 you could
00:22:14.140 have pivoted
00:22:15.180 and gotten
00:22:15.580 the Moderna
00:22:16.140 instead of
00:22:17.180 something else,
00:22:17.840 if you'd
00:22:18.300 known that
00:22:19.060 it was worth
00:22:19.500 doing.
00:22:20.160 Well, that
00:22:20.540 might have
00:22:20.780 been good
00:22:21.060 for you,
00:22:21.600 because you
00:22:21.820 got better
00:22:22.220 information,
00:22:22.800 you got a
00:22:23.220 more powerful
00:22:24.280 shot.
00:22:25.380 But then there
00:22:25.900 wouldn't be
00:22:26.200 enough.
00:22:27.400 If everybody
00:22:28.160 went out and
00:22:28.600 tried to get
00:22:29.000 the same one,
00:22:29.580 there wouldn't
00:22:29.780 be enough.
00:22:31.300 And then
00:22:31.780 that's bad
00:22:32.380 for the
00:22:33.080 country.
00:22:33.340 So, does
00:22:36.940 your government
00:22:37.580 get a pass
00:22:38.380 if they
00:22:38.840 lied to
00:22:39.220 you about
00:22:39.500 this?
00:22:40.420 In the
00:22:40.940 comments,
00:22:42.320 in the
00:22:42.720 comments,
00:22:43.900 if you
00:22:44.300 buy the
00:22:44.820 notion that
00:22:45.840 the government
00:22:47.200 certainly didn't
00:22:48.080 want us to
00:22:48.560 know one of
00:22:49.080 them was the
00:22:49.560 good one for
00:22:50.980 the benefit of
00:22:51.860 the whole,
00:22:53.880 are you okay
00:22:54.940 with the
00:22:55.260 government lying
00:22:55.920 to you if
00:22:56.720 they did it
00:22:57.320 for good
00:22:58.440 intentions?
00:22:58.940 I see one
00:23:01.320 yes, I see
00:23:02.180 a no, I
00:23:02.880 see no, no,
00:23:03.560 no, I
00:23:04.720 see mostly
00:23:05.300 no's, another
00:23:06.540 yes, now
00:23:08.420 and then, no,
00:23:09.700 no, no, no,
00:23:10.620 no, no, no.
00:23:13.760 Somebody says
00:23:14.580 that's not
00:23:15.200 what's happening,
00:23:15.940 so somebody
00:23:16.540 says I'm
00:23:16.940 characterizing it
00:23:17.680 wrong.
00:23:19.160 Never, yeah.
00:23:21.900 I don't
00:23:22.560 know, I
00:23:23.640 might disagree
00:23:24.620 with you,
00:23:26.280 because I
00:23:27.520 feel as
00:23:28.040 though,
00:23:28.940 the government
00:23:29.700 lying to
00:23:30.320 you about
00:23:30.900 the, which
00:23:31.900 vaccinations
00:23:32.620 would be more
00:23:33.640 effective, and
00:23:35.140 I think that's
00:23:35.660 what happened.
00:23:36.340 I'm going to
00:23:36.860 speculate that
00:23:37.520 that is exactly
00:23:38.240 what happened,
00:23:38.820 because I
00:23:39.060 can't imagine
00:23:39.820 they know a
00:23:40.780 long time ago.
00:23:43.280 I'm going to
00:23:44.000 say, I'm
00:23:45.000 going to
00:23:45.160 surprise you.
00:23:46.240 I'm going to
00:23:46.660 say it's
00:23:47.320 unethical,
00:23:48.640 and I
00:23:50.080 approve it.
00:23:52.220 It's
00:23:52.700 unethical,
00:23:53.820 completely,
00:23:54.860 completely
00:23:55.440 unethical,
00:23:56.780 and I
00:23:57.800 approve it.
00:23:59.940 There are
00:24:00.760 things, there
00:24:01.980 are situations
00:24:02.720 in which doing
00:24:03.700 an unethical
00:24:04.520 thing sometimes
00:24:06.560 is your best
00:24:07.200 plan, and
00:24:08.960 the situation
00:24:09.860 is this.
00:24:10.620 It would be
00:24:11.160 unethical to
00:24:12.000 individuals,
00:24:13.520 because you're
00:24:14.640 denying them
00:24:15.340 knowledge that
00:24:15.960 could maybe be
00:24:17.000 useful to them.
00:24:17.880 So very
00:24:18.520 unethical to
00:24:19.280 individuals.
00:24:21.200 But it
00:24:22.900 might be
00:24:23.400 ethical for
00:24:24.020 the nation,
00:24:24.520 if that's even
00:24:26.680 a thing, because
00:24:28.000 it could be
00:24:28.460 the thing
00:24:28.780 that's best
00:24:29.280 for the
00:24:29.640 average, while
00:24:31.480 it's terrible
00:24:32.020 for some
00:24:32.500 individuals.
00:24:36.360 Scott has
00:24:37.240 confirmation
00:24:37.680 bias about
00:24:38.700 Moderna.
00:24:39.880 No, I
00:24:40.620 read a
00:24:41.060 study that
00:24:41.740 came out
00:24:42.160 today.
00:24:44.320 If the
00:24:45.120 study doesn't
00:24:45.880 exist, then
00:24:47.760 I probably
00:24:48.180 have some
00:24:49.100 kind of
00:24:49.440 cognitive
00:24:49.900 dissonance or
00:24:50.700 confirmation
00:24:51.280 bias.
00:24:51.680 But I'm just
00:24:52.720 telling you what
00:24:53.180 the study said.
00:24:53.880 Is there
00:24:55.040 another study?
00:24:56.320 If there's
00:24:56.720 another study
00:24:57.320 that says
00:24:57.700 something else,
00:24:58.340 I'll report
00:24:58.780 that too.
00:25:00.000 Now, the
00:25:01.600 caveat on all
00:25:03.160 of this is that
00:25:03.840 studies are
00:25:04.740 often wrong.
00:25:06.200 And it
00:25:06.520 seems to me
00:25:07.140 that I saw
00:25:08.200 Ian Martises,
00:25:09.740 and by the
00:25:10.080 way, I need
00:25:10.480 a fact check
00:25:11.040 on this,
00:25:11.460 Ian.
00:25:12.320 I thought I
00:25:13.120 saw the
00:25:14.880 antibody test
00:25:16.960 that he did
00:25:17.800 suggested that
00:25:19.260 the vaccinations
00:25:20.520 were fairly
00:25:21.340 similar in
00:25:22.660 terms of
00:25:23.380 antibody
00:25:23.900 production.
00:25:25.440 So that
00:25:25.980 would be
00:25:26.260 different than
00:25:27.240 what this
00:25:27.820 new study
00:25:28.340 says.
00:25:28.940 So, do
00:25:29.900 you trust
00:25:30.260 the study?
00:25:31.700 You know,
00:25:32.140 always put a
00:25:32.640 little check
00:25:33.060 mark next
00:25:33.600 to the
00:25:34.500 skepticism
00:25:35.280 column.
00:25:36.980 Was it
00:25:37.400 double-blind?
00:25:38.120 I don't
00:25:38.340 know.
00:25:42.540 Do you
00:25:44.280 think Fauci
00:25:44.960 and Gates
00:25:45.480 just want
00:25:46.220 what's best
00:25:46.780 for you?
00:25:48.420 I think
00:25:49.060 Gates does.
00:25:50.800 I don't
00:25:51.080 know.
00:25:51.480 Well,
00:25:51.820 Fauci's,
00:25:52.240 remember,
00:25:52.820 Fauci's
00:25:53.240 doing a
00:25:53.560 job,
00:25:54.040 he's a
00:25:54.340 politician,
00:25:55.660 he's trying
00:25:56.120 to keep
00:25:56.420 his reputation
00:25:57.180 and all
00:25:57.860 that.
00:25:58.300 So he's
00:25:58.680 got more
00:25:59.060 complicated
00:25:59.700 motivation.
00:26:01.720 But do
00:26:02.200 I think
00:26:02.660 that Bill
00:26:03.460 Gates only
00:26:04.300 wants to
00:26:04.800 do what's
00:26:05.180 good for
00:26:05.500 the country?
00:26:06.020 Yep.
00:26:06.960 That's
00:26:07.300 exactly what
00:26:07.920 I think,
00:26:08.420 with no
00:26:08.920 hesitation
00:26:09.420 and no
00:26:10.780 ifs or
00:26:12.140 buts.
00:26:13.400 I think
00:26:13.940 Bill Gates
00:26:14.560 only wants
00:26:15.260 to do
00:26:15.560 what's good
00:26:15.940 for the
00:26:16.340 world and
00:26:17.060 the country.
00:26:18.560 Now,
00:26:19.720 I respect
00:26:21.020 a
00:26:21.340 disagreeing
00:26:22.020 opinion.
00:26:22.920 If you
00:26:23.200 have a
00:26:23.440 different
00:26:23.680 opinion,
00:26:24.100 I respect
00:26:24.500 that.
00:26:25.600 Because
00:26:26.080 neither of
00:26:26.500 us know,
00:26:27.080 right?
00:26:27.300 We'd have
00:26:27.640 to be in
00:26:27.980 its head.
00:26:28.640 We can't
00:26:29.100 do that.
00:26:30.400 But look
00:26:31.680 at, you
00:26:32.880 know,
00:26:34.040 follow the
00:26:34.840 money,
00:26:35.360 right?
00:26:36.480 If Gates
00:26:37.360 was only
00:26:38.040 interested in
00:26:38.760 making money,
00:26:40.120 he would not
00:26:40.720 have the Gates
00:26:41.520 foundation,
00:26:43.480 which spends
00:26:44.320 all of his
00:26:44.780 time giving
00:26:45.340 away his
00:26:45.740 money.
00:26:45.960 So he's
00:26:47.860 clearly not
00:26:48.460 in it for
00:26:48.820 the money.
00:26:49.920 He's in
00:26:50.340 it to
00:26:50.600 give away
00:26:51.020 money.
00:26:52.180 Literally
00:26:52.660 anti-money.
00:26:54.780 Now,
00:26:55.140 is Fauci
00:26:55.780 in it for
00:26:56.340 the money?
00:26:57.180 Well,
00:26:57.740 I doubt
00:26:58.120 it.
00:26:58.920 But he
00:26:59.820 may have
00:27:00.160 financial
00:27:00.560 interests,
00:27:01.520 and those
00:27:01.960 could make
00:27:02.720 a difference.
00:27:06.760 And giving,
00:27:07.640 oh,
00:27:07.820 power?
00:27:08.600 Yeah,
00:27:08.800 power,
00:27:09.160 I suppose,
00:27:09.640 is a
00:27:10.080 motivation.
00:27:11.120 I don't
00:27:11.400 see Bill
00:27:11.940 Gates
00:27:12.260 craving
00:27:13.400 power,
00:27:13.940 though.
00:27:14.140 at least
00:27:16.120 not in
00:27:16.700 any way
00:27:17.040 other than
00:27:17.460 a functional
00:27:17.980 power,
00:27:19.020 so he
00:27:19.240 can do
00:27:19.480 his charity
00:27:19.960 stuff
00:27:20.240 better.
00:27:23.140 Dig
00:27:23.660 deeper in
00:27:24.120 the
00:27:24.240 foundation,
00:27:25.000 someone
00:27:25.240 says.
00:27:28.320 Does
00:27:28.840 not prove
00:27:29.320 he's
00:27:29.540 right,
00:27:29.820 that's
00:27:30.040 true.
00:27:31.300 It's
00:27:31.600 moronic
00:27:32.040 to blindly
00:27:32.640 trust
00:27:33.040 billionaires,
00:27:33.680 nobody
00:27:33.900 does that.
00:27:34.960 Is there
00:27:35.260 anybody
00:27:35.580 who's
00:27:35.860 blindly
00:27:36.280 trusting
00:27:36.800 billionaires?
00:27:38.340 I don't
00:27:39.260 think that
00:27:39.660 person
00:27:39.940 exists.
00:27:42.480 It's
00:27:42.760 not about
00:27:43.140 money,
00:27:43.460 it's about
00:27:43.740 power.
00:27:44.260 Not
00:27:44.420 for
00:27:44.600 Gates.
00:27:46.560 I don't
00:27:47.180 think
00:27:47.420 Gates
00:27:47.700 has any
00:27:48.160 power
00:27:48.660 motivation
00:27:50.340 for the
00:27:51.060 pandemic.
00:27:53.100 What kind
00:27:53.420 of power
00:27:53.840 is he
00:27:54.140 going to
00:27:54.300 get from
00:27:54.620 that?
00:28:02.980 Let's
00:28:03.460 see.
00:28:04.680 Seems
00:28:05.000 you do
00:28:05.360 a bit
00:28:05.780 of mind
00:28:06.180 reading
00:28:06.500 of
00:28:06.840 Gates.
00:28:07.600 Well,
00:28:08.060 here's
00:28:08.380 what I'm
00:28:08.580 trying to
00:28:08.880 do.
00:28:09.460 I'm
00:28:09.660 trying to
00:28:10.460 look at
00:28:11.260 the
00:28:11.680 things that
00:28:12.620 would
00:28:12.840 influence
00:28:13.440 his
00:28:13.900 mind
00:28:14.220 as
00:28:14.520 opposed
00:28:14.760 to
00:28:14.920 his
00:28:15.080 mind
00:28:15.360 directly.
00:28:16.440 Things
00:28:16.840 that
00:28:16.980 influence
00:28:17.360 your
00:28:17.560 mind
00:28:17.800 would
00:28:18.000 be
00:28:18.340 profit,
00:28:19.120 for
00:28:19.320 example,
00:28:20.180 and that's
00:28:20.760 clearly not
00:28:21.600 a motive.
00:28:22.720 You can
00:28:23.560 see that
00:28:23.900 he's not
00:28:24.280 acting in a
00:28:25.040 profit way
00:28:26.000 about anything
00:28:27.300 at the
00:28:27.980 moment,
00:28:28.280 because he's
00:28:28.880 giving away
00:28:29.420 his money.
00:28:32.120 He has a
00:28:32.720 hero complex?
00:28:34.060 He should.
00:28:35.080 In the
00:28:37.480 comments I'm
00:28:38.000 saying that
00:28:39.060 Gates has
00:28:39.760 a hero
00:28:40.460 complex.
00:28:41.760 I hope
00:28:42.240 so.
00:28:43.760 Don't
00:28:44.280 you?
00:28:46.140 Does
00:28:46.720 Elon Musk
00:28:47.800 have a
00:28:48.300 hero
00:28:48.600 complex?
00:28:50.040 I sure
00:28:50.600 hope so.
00:28:52.140 I sure
00:28:53.140 hope so.
00:28:54.680 My God,
00:28:55.780 imagine if
00:28:56.320 they had
00:28:57.320 all that
00:28:57.700 power and
00:28:59.140 didn't have
00:28:59.660 an impulse
00:29:00.460 to help.
00:29:01.000 you want
00:29:04.440 them all
00:29:04.800 to have
00:29:05.040 a hero
00:29:05.440 complex?
00:29:06.280 My God,
00:29:07.460 there's
00:29:07.700 nothing I
00:29:08.160 want more
00:29:08.720 than for
00:29:09.140 Bill Gates
00:29:09.600 to have
00:29:09.840 a hero
00:29:10.200 complex.
00:29:12.160 Is there
00:29:12.720 anything you
00:29:13.120 want more
00:29:13.540 than that?
00:29:21.600 Yeah.
00:29:23.760 Wisdom
00:29:24.200 is more
00:29:24.680 than that.
00:29:25.320 Well,
00:29:25.560 I don't
00:29:25.780 know what
00:29:26.660 that means.
00:29:28.520 All right,
00:29:28.840 I'm just
00:29:29.100 looking at
00:29:29.380 some of
00:29:29.620 your comments
00:29:30.060 now because
00:29:30.580 it's a
00:29:30.980 slow news
00:29:31.680 day.
00:29:32.940 We,
00:29:33.420 of course,
00:29:33.740 will be
00:29:34.140 paying
00:29:34.440 respect to
00:29:35.200 all of
00:29:35.660 our fallen
00:29:37.020 heroes on
00:29:37.740 9-11.
00:29:40.120 But while
00:29:40.840 I got you
00:29:41.240 here,
00:29:41.560 let me
00:29:41.800 read to
00:29:42.520 you some
00:29:44.000 of the
00:29:44.280 micro lessons
00:29:44.980 that you
00:29:45.880 could have
00:29:46.200 been looking
00:29:47.020 at on
00:29:47.780 the Locals
00:29:49.560 platform.
00:29:51.100 So here
00:29:51.740 are all the
00:29:52.000 things you
00:29:52.300 can learn
00:29:52.560 in two
00:29:52.880 minutes,
00:29:53.220 little two
00:29:53.600 minute videos
00:29:54.080 I have on
00:29:54.560 the Locals
00:29:55.540 platform.
00:29:57.160 Beating
00:29:57.500 procrastination,
00:29:59.260 saving your
00:29:59.960 relationship
00:30:00.460 from TDS,
00:30:01.640 how to
00:30:02.120 make friends,
00:30:02.820 how to
00:30:03.000 learn something
00:30:03.520 effectively,
00:30:04.360 creating assets
00:30:05.100 from nothing,
00:30:06.720 lots of
00:30:08.880 stuff on
00:30:09.160 persuasion,
00:30:10.100 how to
00:30:10.620 know if
00:30:10.880 you live
00:30:11.140 in a
00:30:11.360 simulation,
00:30:12.780 how to
00:30:13.280 build your
00:30:13.660 self-esteem,
00:30:14.680 programming your
00:30:15.340 brain,
00:30:15.880 talking to
00:30:16.340 strangers,
00:30:17.640 be careful
00:30:18.300 what you
00:30:18.620 measure,
00:30:19.040 lots more
00:30:21.660 on persuasion,
00:30:23.160 how hypnotists
00:30:24.040 read body
00:30:24.720 language,
00:30:25.560 motivating
00:30:25.920 employees,
00:30:26.820 conflict
00:30:27.120 resolution,
00:30:27.940 creating ideas,
00:30:28.940 there are
00:30:29.880 149 of
00:30:30.940 these.
00:30:32.440 Now,
00:30:33.940 if you've
00:30:35.020 watched me
00:30:35.540 for a
00:30:37.220 long time,
00:30:38.100 and a
00:30:38.540 number of
00:30:38.880 you have,
00:30:40.160 you may
00:30:40.920 know that
00:30:42.440 I'm always
00:30:42.960 uncomfortable
00:30:43.500 doing marketing
00:30:44.400 because I have
00:30:45.760 to sell my
00:30:46.260 books and
00:30:46.800 calendars and
00:30:47.560 all that
00:30:48.020 stuff.
00:30:48.680 And I
00:30:49.120 never love
00:30:49.680 that stuff
00:30:50.220 because my
00:30:52.060 view is,
00:30:52.660 you know what
00:30:52.920 a Dilbert book
00:30:53.560 is, if you
00:30:54.200 want it,
00:30:54.580 you'll get
00:30:54.920 it.
00:30:55.940 I don't want
00:30:57.060 to talk you
00:30:57.640 into buying a
00:30:58.260 Dilbert book.
00:30:59.460 You know
00:30:59.780 what it is.
00:31:01.160 If you like
00:31:01.700 it, you'll
00:31:02.000 buy it.
00:31:02.540 If you
00:31:02.820 won't, you
00:31:03.840 won't.
00:31:05.260 But the
00:31:06.620 micro lessons
00:31:07.280 are different
00:31:07.860 because I've
00:31:09.160 watched the
00:31:09.700 feedback from
00:31:10.320 the people
00:31:10.700 who have
00:31:11.160 absorbed them
00:31:12.800 and people
00:31:14.080 are changing
00:31:14.620 their lives.
00:31:16.300 I mean,
00:31:16.520 people are
00:31:16.920 just reporting
00:31:17.820 amazing results
00:31:20.400 from just what
00:31:21.300 they learned
00:31:21.880 or how they
00:31:22.320 applied it at
00:31:22.920 work, etc.
00:31:23.860 And I'm
00:31:24.440 hearing this
00:31:24.780 every day.
00:31:25.580 Every day
00:31:26.060 I'm hearing
00:31:26.340 this.
00:31:26.640 And so
00:31:27.660 I would
00:31:29.340 submit to
00:31:29.920 you that
00:31:31.400 for $7,
00:31:33.900 which is
00:31:34.280 what one
00:31:34.720 month costs
00:31:36.080 of subscription
00:31:37.020 to locals,
00:31:38.140 or $5 if
00:31:39.500 you do a
00:31:39.920 yearly package,
00:31:41.080 but you
00:31:41.320 could, for
00:31:41.820 one month,
00:31:42.620 $7, you
00:31:44.360 could find
00:31:44.880 out if
00:31:47.040 you get
00:31:47.360 $7 worth
00:31:48.260 of value.
00:31:49.800 If you
00:31:50.500 don't,
00:31:51.020 well,
00:31:51.280 $7.
00:31:51.580 but there
00:31:53.280 are 149
00:31:54.160 things that
00:31:54.720 you could
00:31:55.160 add to
00:31:55.720 your talents,
00:31:58.020 give them
00:31:58.260 a look.
00:31:59.920 If you
00:32:00.440 did like
00:32:01.320 five of
00:32:01.880 them,
00:32:02.380 there's no
00:32:02.840 way you're
00:32:03.180 going to
00:32:03.340 feel the
00:32:03.720 same.
00:32:04.840 Just watch
00:32:05.500 five of
00:32:06.000 them and
00:32:07.140 see if you
00:32:07.600 feel the
00:32:08.360 same.
00:32:09.120 I don't
00:32:09.400 think you
00:32:09.760 will.
00:32:10.400 I think
00:32:10.720 you'll feel
00:32:11.080 like you
00:32:11.400 learned a
00:32:11.780 lot.
00:32:12.860 All right,
00:32:13.300 so that
00:32:13.700 is my
00:32:14.180 pitch.
00:32:15.460 and like
00:32:17.660 I say,
00:32:18.100 for the
00:32:18.480 entertainment
00:32:19.220 portion of
00:32:20.180 the things
00:32:20.640 that I
00:32:20.960 make,
00:32:21.500 calendars
00:32:22.000 and books
00:32:22.400 and stuff,
00:32:23.040 I don't
00:32:23.460 pitch them
00:32:23.960 that hard
00:32:24.520 because you
00:32:25.300 know what
00:32:25.640 you like.
00:32:26.820 In those
00:32:27.460 cases,
00:32:27.980 just letting
00:32:28.500 you know
00:32:28.760 they exist
00:32:29.300 is all
00:32:29.640 you need.
00:32:30.560 But the
00:32:31.240 micro-lessons
00:32:31.840 will change
00:32:32.320 your life.
00:32:33.440 So I'm
00:32:33.900 going to
00:32:34.060 push a
00:32:34.360 little harder
00:32:34.680 for that
00:32:35.000 because I
00:32:35.320 think it's
00:32:35.600 good for
00:32:35.940 you.
00:32:37.100 All right,
00:32:38.200 and that
00:32:38.780 is all.
00:32:42.420 That is
00:32:42.960 all I've
00:32:43.240 got for
00:32:43.540 today.
00:32:44.660 And I
00:32:44.920 will talk
00:32:45.220 to you
00:32:45.640 tomorrow.
