Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1507 Scott Adams： My Predictions Have Been so Good Lately That I Decided to Cure COVID-19

00:00:01.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of your day.

00:00:05.500 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams because it features coffee and, you know, Scott Adams.

00:00:12.580 So I don't know how this could be better.

00:00:15.060 Well, okay, there is one way this could be better.

00:00:19.820 Two coffees with Scott Adams, but don't overdo it.

00:00:22.860 Don't overdo it.

00:00:23.620 You don't want too much happiness all at once.

00:00:26.360 Yeah, I forgot to put on my YouTube microphone.

00:00:30.000 How many steps are there to make this work?

00:00:34.740 About 17.

00:00:36.320 How many do I do correctly?

00:00:39.500 14 or 15 every single day.

00:00:43.820 Well, now, if all things are working out, YouTube is going to be able to join on the simultaneous sip

00:00:50.740 because we made a little change, I think it's implemented today,

00:00:53.640 in which you will be able to see the beginning and not have to wait for the pre-commercial.

00:01:00.000 On YouTube.

00:01:01.040 So, if that's the case, let's test it down.

00:01:04.440 Because all you need is a copper mug or a glass, a tanker, jealous, a stein, a canteen, jug, or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:01:11.260 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:12.280 I like coffee.

00:01:13.720 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day,

00:01:17.900 and the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:20.100 That's right.

00:01:20.440 I turned off the pre-commercial for you.

00:01:23.880 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:01:26.000 Go.

00:01:31.900 Well, I don't know how much of my total revenue just got turned off by turning off that pre-commercial,

00:01:37.620 but it was worth it.

00:01:41.800 I guess a lot of you were saying,

00:01:44.540 we don't like to wait for the simultaneous sip, and I hear you.

00:01:47.640 I feel you.

00:01:50.400 Well, Rasmussen did a poll and asked if they thought

00:01:53.380 Biden or Trump is doing a better job on the border.

00:01:57.960 What do you think?

00:01:58.900 What do you think?

00:01:59.360 Well, actually, they asked if Biden was doing a good job on the border, and not so much.

00:02:04.560 So it looks like even Democrats have turned against Biden on the immigration stuff.

00:02:09.500 Surprised?

00:02:11.060 Nope.

00:02:12.260 Don't be surprised.

00:02:14.340 San Francisco has decided to build what they call tiny cabins for the homeless.

00:02:19.840 Tiny cabins.

00:02:21.360 Little cabins, basically.

00:02:24.220 They're portable.

00:02:24.900 You can just set them up.

00:02:25.820 I think they're going to start with 44 of them

00:02:27.680 to replace their tent city.

00:02:31.900 So going from tent city to tiny cabins.

00:02:35.520 Now, here's the important part of this.

00:02:38.780 I think this is the future.

00:02:40.720 You're seeing a lot of it.

00:02:42.480 Now, I don't know if it's just the tiny part,

00:02:44.380 but the homes that are modular and built in a factory and then assembled,

00:02:49.460 that's the way it's going.

00:02:50.860 The tiny ones will just be first, 0.86

00:02:52.620 but I think that's the way everything's going to go.

00:02:54.220 Well, may I brag about one of my predictions?

00:02:59.420 Yeah, as if you could stop me.

00:03:01.480 Try it.

00:03:02.340 Try stopping me.

00:03:03.300 You can't.

00:03:04.740 Well, I go back to this every now and then just to show you how prescient I am.

00:03:09.240 The Havana Syndrome, you remember when the story said,

00:03:12.440 well, there's probably some kind of a sonic weapon pointed at the embassy in Cuba

00:03:16.640 because people are having a bunch of health problems.

00:03:18.780 And then it seemed to be spreading around the world.

00:03:22.500 Canada was next.

00:03:24.000 Somewhere else was next.

00:03:25.780 And it looked like, oh, my God, somebody's got a sonic weapon

00:03:29.560 and they keep attacking our embassies.

00:03:32.560 Well, a group of 20 Cuban scientists got together to study all forms of this situation

00:03:38.440 and decided that the only explanation that fit was mass hysteria.

00:03:45.280 Yeah, that's right.

00:03:47.240 The only explanation that fit all of the facts was mass hysteria.

00:03:55.380 Now, this is 20 Cuban scientists,

00:03:59.080 and one could assume, okay, Cuba doesn't want to be, you know, 0.63

00:04:03.320 stained with this idea that they led a less than kind of a weapon attack an embassy.

00:04:08.380 So you can't totally trust the 20 Cuban scientists. 1.00

00:04:12.800 They may be influenced by the state.

00:04:15.740 But they did say, they made a claim that other people can look at,

00:04:20.540 which is that the evidence doesn't support any other hypothesis.

00:04:24.580 That's it.

00:04:25.040 There's only one hypothesis that you could even have.

00:04:29.580 And they made references to violating rules of physics and blah, blah, blah.

00:04:35.540 So the thing that people don't know is that mass hysteria is very common.

00:04:41.100 If you know that it's common, then you see a situation like this,

00:04:45.420 and you say, okay, what's more likely?

00:04:47.340 Is it more likely that a very common thing happened

00:04:49.880 or something that we've never seen before, a sonic weapon?

00:04:54.400 Which is more likely, the common thing or the badass, crazy thing?

00:05:00.180 It was kind of obvious.

00:05:01.340 Now, I'm not saying that the Cuban scientists are the final answer,

00:05:06.140 but this is the final answer.

00:05:08.780 If there's anything I've been confident about in a contrarian prediction,

00:05:14.620 this is my most confident contrarian prediction.

00:05:19.380 You will never find a sonic weapon.

00:05:22.120 Right?

00:05:22.200 The Lithuanian government is urging its population

00:05:31.500 to throw away their Chinese phones for security issues.

00:05:36.240 So Lithuania is saying, 0.75

00:05:37.940 take your Chinese Huawei phone and toss it in the garbage

00:05:41.480 because there's too many security flaws.

00:05:46.520 And I say we should let Lithuania be a model for the rest of us.

00:05:50.760 That's right.

00:05:52.620 Lithuania?

00:05:53.300 Model for the rest of us.

00:05:57.680 In the book Peril, you know, Woodward's book.

00:06:03.000 So, you know, Woodward is the least credible journalist

00:06:06.660 in the world at the moment.

00:06:09.260 His book actually, as you know,

00:06:11.180 it treated the fine people hoax as if it were real.

00:06:14.480 That's all you need to know about the rest of the book.

00:06:16.640 The most obvious hoax in American history.

00:06:20.460 The most debunked hoax.

00:06:22.020 He just treats it like it's real.

00:06:25.220 So it makes you wonder if Watergate was even real. 0.74

00:06:28.980 But the latest ridiculousness

00:06:31.200 is a report in the book that says

00:06:33.840 Trump didn't want a golf course in Africa

00:06:36.040 because he feared lions would eat him.

00:06:40.380 True or false?

00:06:41.900 It's in the book.

00:06:43.520 It's in the book, so

00:06:44.640 what do you think?

00:06:47.000 That Trump didn't want to build a golf course in Africa

00:06:49.620 because he feared lions would eat him.

00:06:56.120 No.

00:06:57.600 No.

00:06:59.460 He was not afraid lions would eat him.

00:07:02.540 Now, did he say that?

00:07:04.500 Probably.

00:07:04.940 Yeah.

00:07:06.460 Did he make a comment out loud

00:07:09.220 with actual words

00:07:10.380 that lions might eat you

00:07:12.300 if you had a golf course in Africa?

00:07:15.740 Probably.

00:07:16.860 He probably said that out loud.

00:07:18.440 That sounds almost exactly like something he might say.

00:07:22.020 Do you think he was serious?

00:07:24.660 The entire project.

00:07:26.220 He just brushed away the entire project

00:07:28.780 because...

00:07:30.700 Here's another possibility.

00:07:33.640 Can you think of one other reason

00:07:37.060 not to build a golf course?

00:07:40.300 Any other reason?

00:07:41.460 What would be one other reason

00:07:42.840 to not build a golf course?

00:07:45.000 Just one.

00:07:47.620 I'll give you one reason

00:07:48.860 to not build a golf course.

00:07:51.520 No golf course is profitable.

00:07:55.160 Do you need another reason?

00:07:58.840 Golf courses aren't profitable, are they?

00:08:01.020 I think that you build a golf course

00:08:02.840 more for your brand

00:08:04.160 because you want to play golf

00:08:05.880 and you're rich enough to do it

00:08:07.220 and et cetera.

00:08:10.920 But I'm pretty sure

00:08:11.940 that golf is not a good business.

00:08:14.780 It's just it goes good

00:08:15.860 with Trump's portfolio

00:08:17.000 and I think he likes the golf.

00:08:20.060 But are you telling me

00:08:20.780 that Trump is making money

00:08:21.960 on his golf courses?

00:08:23.900 I doubt it.

00:08:25.160 I would imagine

00:08:25.780 those are loss leaders.

00:08:27.540 I don't know.

00:08:28.260 I mean, I'm speculating here.

00:08:30.760 But the number one reason

00:08:32.400 to not build a golf course

00:08:33.900 is that they're bad businesses.

00:08:36.260 Don't you think Trump knew

00:08:37.560 that building a golf course in Africa

00:08:40.540 wasn't exactly going to be a moneymaker?

00:08:42.520 Did he have to explain it?

00:08:44.240 Did he have to go through the numbers?

00:08:46.580 If you can't make money

00:08:47.780 on a golf course anywhere else,

00:08:50.000 are you going to make money

00:08:50.740 on a golf course in Africa?

00:08:52.700 And don't you think

00:08:53.680 that Trump's golf courses

00:08:54.920 have a lot to do

00:08:55.840 with where he personally wants to golf?

00:08:58.460 I mean, really.

00:08:59.420 What's the point of owning a business

00:09:00.780 with your name on it

00:09:01.800 if you have to do projects

00:09:04.820 in places you don't want to visit?

00:09:07.040 Does he want a real good...

00:09:08.060 Do you think Trump wanted

00:09:09.320 to go to Africa to play golf?

00:09:12.100 Probably not.

00:09:12.860 Do you think he ever wanted

00:09:14.520 to go to Scotland to play golf

00:09:17.120 because he does have a golf course there?

00:09:18.740 Probably.

00:09:19.980 Probably.

00:09:20.640 It's, you know,

00:09:21.500 where his ancestors were,

00:09:23.600 some of them. 0.98

00:09:25.700 So this is the most ridiculous fake news. 0.97

00:09:28.160 Here's some more fake news 0.98

00:09:30.380 from the New York Times.

00:09:31.940 Today they tweeted,

00:09:33.300 Breaking news.

00:09:34.180 The Trump campaign knew.

00:09:36.140 This is the key word.

00:09:37.100 They knew.

00:09:38.100 They didn't speculate.

00:09:39.780 They didn't doubt.

00:09:41.280 They didn't ask questions about.

00:09:43.940 But this is what

00:09:44.680 the New York Times

00:09:47.120 is reporting as a fact.

00:09:49.240 They're reporting as a fact

00:09:50.540 what the Trump campaign

00:09:52.460 knew.

00:09:53.620 What was in their heads.

00:09:57.080 How did they get that scoop

00:09:58.560 about what was in people's

00:10:00.600 secret thoughts?

00:10:02.460 That's a pretty hard scoop

00:10:03.400 to get, isn't it?

00:10:04.920 Or maybe it didn't happen.

00:10:07.720 Maybe.

00:10:08.580 Let me read the rest of it

00:10:09.660 so you can see the context.

00:10:11.240 It says,

00:10:11.800 The Trump campaign knew

00:10:12.960 days after the 2020 election

00:10:15.500 that wild claims

00:10:17.040 of voting machine tampering

00:10:18.480 pushed by Sidney Powell

00:10:20.280 and others allied with Trump

00:10:21.660 were not true,

00:10:23.500 court filing show.

00:10:26.080 Really?

00:10:28.020 Are you telling me

00:10:29.080 that there was somebody

00:10:30.100 in the world,

00:10:31.680 not just the Trump campaign,

00:10:33.380 but anyone in the world

00:10:34.440 who knew

00:10:36.060 that the claims

00:10:38.240 were untrue?

00:10:39.540 That knew it.

00:10:41.160 Now,

00:10:41.900 I said they were untrue

00:10:43.820 the moment they came out.

00:10:45.940 Right?

00:10:46.660 Fact check me on this.

00:10:48.120 As soon as I heard

00:10:48.920 there was some Venezuelan

00:10:50.300 Hugo Chavez connection,

00:10:52.720 I said,

00:10:53.040 OK,

00:10:53.360 I don't know about

00:10:54.120 the election in general,

00:10:56.140 but I'm telling you

00:10:57.540 that's not going to pan out.

00:10:59.900 So that was the first thing

00:11:01.020 I said when I heard it,

00:11:01.800 right?

00:11:02.260 I said the Venezuela part

00:11:03.820 won't be true.

00:11:05.120 Even if all this stuff is,

00:11:07.280 don't know about that,

00:11:08.740 but even if something else

00:11:10.020 is true,

00:11:10.420 that part's not going to be true.

00:11:12.360 Now,

00:11:13.400 when I said that,

00:11:15.000 did I know it?

00:11:17.580 Did I know it?

00:11:18.620 No.

00:11:21.500 It can't be known.

00:11:23.400 Just like the Cuban, 1.00

00:11:26.600 you know,

00:11:27.040 the Havana sonic weapon.

00:11:30.280 I'm pretty confident

00:11:31.740 that that's not real.

00:11:33.600 But do I know it?

00:11:35.580 How could I know it?

00:11:37.140 It's not knowable,

00:11:38.580 right?

00:11:39.300 Unless it was violating

00:11:40.440 some rule of physics.

00:11:43.360 Well,

00:11:43.600 actually,

00:11:43.980 the Cuban scientists

00:11:44.880 said that,

00:11:45.500 but I think that part

00:11:46.760 I would discount.

00:11:47.880 Just because somebody

00:11:49.520 doesn't know how to do something

00:11:50.880 doesn't mean it violated

00:11:52.300 the laws of physics.

00:11:53.820 So that part

00:11:54.260 I would discount.

00:11:59.900 Oh,

00:12:00.420 yeah,

00:12:00.620 where is the audience?

00:12:01.860 Low audience today?

00:12:03.440 Interesting.

00:12:04.600 Don't know why.

00:12:06.260 So,

00:12:06.500 yeah,

00:12:06.720 when the New York Times

00:12:07.500 says that somebody else

00:12:09.620 that is not them

00:12:10.540 knew something,

00:12:11.980 that's fake news.

00:12:13.460 because people

00:12:14.420 don't know

00:12:15.240 that a story

00:12:16.820 is wrong,

00:12:17.420 they just suspect it.

00:12:18.820 Or they doubt it,

00:12:19.800 or they're skeptical,

00:12:20.660 or they would need

00:12:21.160 more information

00:12:21.820 to be convinced.

00:12:22.780 But nobody knew it.

00:12:24.520 Come on.

00:12:25.980 As soon as you put,

00:12:27.100 you know,

00:12:27.980 certainty

00:12:28.600 into some stranger's head,

00:12:30.940 and they haven't

00:12:31.860 expressed that certainty, 0.97

00:12:32.900 it's just ridiculous. 0.94

00:12:35.340 All right. 0.93

00:12:35.940 Here's another one

00:12:39.020 of my predictions

00:12:39.860 that's looking better

00:12:40.860 over time.

00:12:41.620 I predicted

00:12:42.120 that the longer

00:12:43.460 Trump was out of office,

00:12:44.980 the better he would look.

00:12:47.220 The longer he was

00:12:48.160 out of office,

00:12:49.120 the better he would look.

00:12:50.320 And that makes sense,

00:12:51.520 because you would forget,

00:12:53.140 like his mean tweets

00:12:54.140 and the daily cycle

00:12:56.260 of abuse from the news,

00:12:58.120 but you'd probably remember

00:12:59.300 that, you know,

00:13:00.380 North Korea doesn't look 0.99

00:13:01.360 like a threat.

00:13:02.180 You'd probably remember

00:13:03.080 he pushed hard

00:13:04.440 on China trade,

00:13:05.300 and now we think

00:13:06.160 that's a good idea,

00:13:07.080 et cetera.

00:13:08.120 So the thinking was

00:13:09.380 that his ideas,

00:13:10.560 the things he pushed

00:13:11.440 and wanted to do,

00:13:12.320 immigration,

00:13:13.860 another perfect example,

00:13:15.580 would look better

00:13:16.340 compared to the alternatives

00:13:17.440 over time.

00:13:18.700 Sure enough,

00:13:20.020 there's a Monday

00:13:22.380 Harvard-Caps-Harris poll

00:13:24.140 released by The Hill,

00:13:26.600 and 48% of people

00:13:28.980 who responded

00:13:29.540 said they had

00:13:30.120 a positive view of Trump,

00:13:31.640 which is more

00:13:32.560 than the positive view

00:13:34.700 of Biden right now.

00:13:36.720 So the current popularity

00:13:38.400 of Trump is 48%,

00:13:39.860 and Biden's at 46%,

00:13:41.960 according to this poll.

00:13:43.400 Now, that's close enough

00:13:44.580 to call it a tie,

00:13:45.660 but it's a tie,

00:13:47.700 right?

00:13:49.220 And I think it's just

00:13:50.680 going to be more of this.

00:13:51.700 Every day that goes by,

00:13:53.540 Trump's going to look better

00:13:54.640 compared to the nightmare

00:13:57.120 of the Biden administration.

00:13:58.560 So Afghanistan, 0.79

00:14:00.400 we're going to remember,

00:14:01.120 was botched.

00:14:04.680 Basically,

00:14:05.840 everywhere there's

00:14:06.760 a one-to-one matchup,

00:14:09.260 I think Trump wins, right?

00:14:10.800 Somebody give me

00:14:11.440 a counterexample.

00:14:14.060 Somebody give me

00:14:14.860 a counterexample.

00:14:16.160 Here's my claim.

00:14:18.460 That for every topic

00:14:19.660 where you can say

00:14:20.420 one-to-one,

00:14:21.340 compare what Trump did

00:14:22.460 to Biden,

00:14:23.700 and I'm not talking about

00:14:24.560 mean tweets

00:14:25.380 or rhetoric,

00:14:27.000 but just policy.

00:14:28.840 One-to-one,

00:14:30.200 what would be an example

00:14:31.240 where Biden

00:14:32.040 has done a better job?

00:14:34.660 One-to-one matchup,

00:14:35.880 what policy would that be?

00:14:38.460 COVID rapid tests?

00:14:40.060 Oh, well,

00:14:42.940 yeah, I'll give you that.

00:14:44.400 But all Biden did

00:14:45.960 on COVID rapid tests

00:14:47.140 is funding.

00:14:49.220 I feel like Trump

00:14:50.140 would have done that too.

00:14:52.920 But both of them

00:14:54.080 failed completely

00:14:54.940 in pushing the topic

00:14:56.340 through the FDA.

00:14:58.120 So I would say

00:14:58.680 that both Trump

00:14:59.800 and Biden

00:15:00.260 were 100% failures

00:15:01.660 on rapid testing.

00:15:04.380 But Trump,

00:15:05.040 but Biden did

00:15:06.140 get funding.

00:15:07.560 We don't know

00:15:08.200 that Trump wouldn't have.

00:15:13.440 Promoting vaccines?

00:15:15.240 No, I think they're

00:15:15.840 about even on that.

00:15:18.860 Pushing COVID

00:15:19.880 and test hoax

00:15:20.780 is not productive.

00:15:21.820 Well, nobody did that.

00:15:22.760 At least Trump

00:15:24.980 didn't do that.

00:15:27.140 All right,

00:15:27.360 just looking at

00:15:27.820 some of your comments

00:15:28.440 to see how I'm doing

00:15:29.140 here to this morning.

00:15:32.140 Has better dementia, yeah.

00:15:34.280 All right,

00:15:34.720 here's how the Democrats

00:15:36.540 lose everything.

00:15:38.400 And it's starting

00:15:38.980 to look like

00:15:39.520 they're just going to get

00:15:40.300 wiped out in the midterms.

00:15:42.720 It's a little too early

00:15:43.740 to predict,

00:15:44.440 but at the moment,

00:15:46.200 it looks like Democrats

00:15:47.780 are just going to get 0.60

00:15:48.500 slaughtered in the midterms.

00:15:49.780 Now, part of that's

00:15:50.840 an easy prediction

00:15:51.620 because it tends

00:15:53.040 to go that way.

00:15:54.660 After a president

00:15:56.140 of one party is elected,

00:15:57.420 you know,

00:15:57.640 the midterms

00:15:58.240 often go against them.

00:16:00.480 So that part

00:16:01.080 wouldn't be surprising,

00:16:02.060 but in Virginia's

00:16:03.900 Lewdown,

00:16:05.080 Lewden,

00:16:05.800 or Lewdown County,

00:16:07.880 the Board of Supervisors

00:16:09.000 voted to look into,

00:16:10.160 just look into,

00:16:11.180 study it,

00:16:12.660 reparations.

00:16:15.840 Reparations.

00:16:16.320 Now,

00:16:18.120 if you were

00:16:18.800 the Republicans

00:16:19.540 and you wanted

00:16:21.160 to really win everything,

00:16:23.240 what story would you

00:16:24.420 want to be in the news?

00:16:27.140 Reparations,

00:16:28.320 right?

00:16:28.940 Now,

00:16:29.520 I've actually,

00:16:30.520 just to give you context,

00:16:32.340 I think reparations

00:16:33.360 should be looked at.

00:16:35.540 That's different

00:16:36.320 from implementing them.

00:16:38.220 But looking at them,

00:16:39.400 sure.

00:16:40.320 You know,

00:16:40.900 if it's a big question

00:16:42.380 in people's minds,

00:16:43.740 if there are lots

00:16:44.880 of citizens who care

00:16:46.140 about it,

00:16:47.820 let's work through it.

00:16:50.760 Let's take a look.

00:16:51.980 If you're afraid

00:16:52.740 of information

00:16:53.500 or you're afraid

00:16:54.500 of debating,

00:16:56.100 I can't defend that.

00:16:58.120 Now,

00:16:58.460 if you say to yourself,

00:16:59.500 well,

00:16:59.680 I know how it's

00:17:00.320 going to end,

00:17:01.000 Scott.

00:17:01.500 It's going to end

00:17:02.060 with there's no practical

00:17:03.000 way to do anything.

00:17:04.620 I mean,

00:17:04.820 you could want to do things,

00:17:05.960 but there's no practical

00:17:06.860 way to get it done.

00:17:08.000 Maybe.

00:17:08.920 Maybe.

00:17:09.240 But that's assuming

00:17:10.280 the end before you

00:17:11.340 start, right?

00:17:12.740 If people care about

00:17:14.020 something and want to

00:17:14.660 look into it,

00:17:16.020 I don't know how

00:17:17.600 I object to that.

00:17:19.180 How do you object

00:17:20.120 to looking into stuff?

00:17:22.140 That would be unreasonable.

00:17:24.100 Now,

00:17:24.780 my own path

00:17:27.500 that I would recommend,

00:17:29.580 you've heard this before,

00:17:30.440 it might be new

00:17:30.880 to some of you

00:17:31.440 on YouTube,

00:17:33.780 is

00:17:34.180 there is a way

00:17:38.120 to do it.

00:17:38.580 There is a way

00:17:40.100 to do reparations

00:17:41.060 that would make

00:17:41.760 everybody happy.

00:17:42.480 you just increase

00:17:44.080 school choice

00:17:44.880 and you do

00:17:46.640 whatever you need

00:17:47.200 to do to thwart

00:17:47.880 the teachers' unions.

00:17:49.860 Because the teachers' unions

00:17:50.900 are the main source

00:17:52.140 of continued

00:17:53.320 systemic racism.

00:17:55.500 The teachers' unions

00:17:56.680 block competition

00:17:58.280 in schools,

00:17:59.300 which guarantees

00:18:00.300 that bad schools

00:18:01.200 stay bad

00:18:01.800 because there's

00:18:02.380 no competition,

00:18:03.960 they don't have

00:18:04.900 to be good.

00:18:05.320 but as soon

00:18:07.060 as you got

00:18:07.540 competition,

00:18:11.220 eventually,

00:18:12.000 things would even out.

00:18:13.340 So if you said to me,

00:18:14.200 Scott,

00:18:14.600 let's call it reparations,

00:18:15.980 but we're just going

00:18:16.500 to make school choice

00:18:17.400 better.

00:18:18.080 It won't be directed

00:18:19.260 specifically at the 0.80

00:18:20.820 black population

00:18:21.660 of the United States. 0.85

00:18:22.740 It'll help everybody.

00:18:24.460 But,

00:18:24.980 it will help 0.59

00:18:25.600 the black population

00:18:26.520 a lot more 0.91

00:18:27.620 just because of the way

00:18:29.080 the demographics

00:18:29.800 roll out.

00:18:31.440 To which I say,

00:18:33.100 I can live with that.

00:18:33.960 You solve a problem

00:18:35.540 for everyone,

00:18:36.900 everyone who is

00:18:37.560 at the same

00:18:38.040 economic disadvantage.

00:18:40.440 If it disproportionately

00:18:42.120 helps the black population, 0.90

00:18:44.880 I say that's reparations.

00:18:47.640 Don't you?

00:18:50.120 What would be

00:18:51.020 the argument against it?

00:18:52.140 I mean,

00:18:52.400 the whole point

00:18:52.940 of reparations

00:18:53.660 is that one community

00:18:54.940 got an unfair deal

00:18:56.380 for however long.

00:18:59.380 So if we make

00:19:00.200 an unfair deal

00:19:01.340 in terms of

00:19:02.280 what percentage

00:19:02.960 of the population

00:19:03.660 is influenced by it,

00:19:05.900 I feel like that

00:19:06.780 would be a little bit

00:19:07.440 of reparations.

00:19:08.100 And it would be

00:19:09.160 the very best

00:19:10.360 kind of reparations.

00:19:12.140 Because how would

00:19:13.020 you like to know

00:19:13.780 that the biggest problem

00:19:14.900 in the United States,

00:19:16.000 which is the teachers'

00:19:16.940 unions,

00:19:17.280 it's the biggest problem

00:19:18.020 in the United States,

00:19:19.120 how would you like

00:19:19.880 to know

00:19:20.300 that the black population

00:19:22.760 of the United States

00:19:23.540 solved it?

00:19:25.780 That'd be a pretty good

00:19:26.880 thing to have

00:19:28.640 on your permanent record,

00:19:29.620 wouldn't it?

00:19:29.980 to solve it

00:19:32.080 for everybody.

00:19:33.160 You know,

00:19:33.300 not just solve it

00:19:34.020 for yourself,

00:19:34.480 solve it for everybody.

00:19:35.960 That would be

00:19:36.660 an amazing accomplishment

00:19:37.920 for the black population

00:19:40.120 of this country,

00:19:40.840 and very,

00:19:41.480 I would say,

00:19:43.020 it would be one thing

00:19:43.800 that might bring us

00:19:44.460 together a little bit.

00:19:46.140 We could agree on that.

00:19:48.700 So,

00:19:49.460 that's where I am

00:19:50.220 on that.

00:19:51.260 How many of you

00:19:52.020 saw my UFO video

00:19:53.580 from last night?

00:19:55.160 Did anybody see it?

00:19:55.820 I was taking a video

00:19:59.540 of the moon,

00:20:00.500 because the moon

00:20:00.940 looked interesting

00:20:01.640 in my backyard,

00:20:02.960 and there appeared

00:20:04.140 on my video

00:20:05.580 a small TikTok-shaped object

00:20:09.100 that,

00:20:10.280 as I was filming,

00:20:11.080 its motion couldn't,

00:20:12.540 it seemed to defy,

00:20:13.840 it seemed to defy physics,

00:20:16.120 because it'd be going

00:20:17.020 in one direction

00:20:17.640 and then just,

00:20:18.320 like,

00:20:18.440 instantly change directions.

00:20:20.340 I don't know

00:20:21.300 that there's anything

00:20:22.060 in American technology

00:20:23.260 that could do that,

00:20:24.080 or Earth technology.

00:20:26.820 I don't think

00:20:27.480 human technology

00:20:28.540 can do that.

00:20:31.920 Now,

00:20:32.440 you're probably

00:20:32.780 asking yourself,

00:20:34.240 Scott,

00:20:34.720 you know what it was,

00:20:35.480 it was like a bug

00:20:36.240 or something,

00:20:36.740 right?

00:20:37.040 Nope.

00:20:37.800 Nope.

00:20:38.780 I can tell you,

00:20:40.760 and I'm not lying,

00:20:41.980 it was not an insect.

00:20:43.900 It was not.

00:20:45.660 That was ruled out

00:20:46.800 for sure.

00:20:47.480 I could tell you how,

00:20:48.500 but...

00:20:50.020 Was it a laser?

00:20:52.320 No,

00:20:52.620 it wasn't a laser.

00:20:54.440 What was it?

00:20:57.540 What was it?

00:21:00.040 Lens flare.

00:21:01.280 Yeah,

00:21:01.600 it was...

00:21:02.040 I think that's

00:21:02.820 the right term.

00:21:03.700 So I think it was

00:21:04.520 some kind of a

00:21:05.380 reflection-y

00:21:07.360 sort of thing,

00:21:08.460 that might be

00:21:08.840 the wrong word,

00:21:09.900 but it's an artifact

00:21:11.200 from the lens

00:21:13.860 and the fact

00:21:15.520 that I'm looking

00:21:16.000 at a,

00:21:16.660 you know,

00:21:17.220 a bright object,

00:21:18.140 I guess.

00:21:18.780 I think that's

00:21:19.340 what it was.

00:21:20.260 But when you

00:21:20.900 watch the video,

00:21:21.860 I don't know

00:21:23.600 if you could tell

00:21:24.260 that I was

00:21:24.780 manipulating

00:21:25.500 the tic-tac.

00:21:27.260 If you watch

00:21:27.960 the video,

00:21:28.480 could you tell

00:21:29.120 that the way

00:21:30.160 I moved the camera

00:21:31.140 was moving

00:21:32.400 the tic-tac,

00:21:33.320 the tic-tac?

00:21:35.160 Right?

00:21:35.600 It looked like

00:21:36.280 it was moving

00:21:36.740 on its own,

00:21:37.380 but I was just

00:21:37.940 moving the camera.

00:21:39.200 So when I tracked

00:21:40.080 it with the camera

00:21:40.900 and moved to the right,

00:21:41.800 it looked like

00:21:42.260 it was moving.

00:21:43.560 And then when I moved

00:21:44.220 the camera to the left,

00:21:45.020 it looked like

00:21:45.460 it was moving left.

00:21:46.200 It was just

00:21:47.020 a camera artifact.

00:21:48.400 Do you know

00:21:48.700 what's interesting

00:21:49.200 about it?

00:21:50.260 My camera artifact

00:21:51.480 looked a lot

00:21:52.600 like the one

00:21:53.280 you've seen.

00:21:55.120 Haven't you seen

00:21:55.960 that UFO video?

00:21:58.480 Looked a lot

00:21:59.160 like it,

00:21:59.540 didn't it?

00:22:00.920 I don't know

00:22:01.620 if it's the same

00:22:02.240 problem,

00:22:03.000 a lens artifact,

00:22:04.500 but I think it is.

00:22:06.160 I think it's exactly

00:22:07.420 why your UFOs

00:22:09.520 look like tic-tacs,

00:22:10.720 because it's

00:22:11.520 that lens artifact.

00:22:13.080 Now, by the way,

00:22:13.720 I didn't do that

00:22:14.220 intentionally.

00:22:15.300 I actually was

00:22:16.060 just trying to

00:22:16.560 take a picture

00:22:17.200 of the moon.

00:22:19.220 Why?

00:22:19.900 No good reason.

00:22:21.600 I just took

00:22:22.380 my video camera

00:22:23.140 out,

00:22:23.780 and I saw

00:22:24.360 that artifact.

00:22:25.140 I'm like,

00:22:25.420 oh, I'm going

00:22:25.920 with this.

00:22:26.660 I'm going

00:22:26.980 with this.

00:22:30.060 All right.

00:22:31.620 In a publication

00:22:32.540 called the AJ Plus,

00:22:35.760 apparently Biden

00:22:36.940 is using Title 42,

00:22:38.660 which Trump

00:22:39.460 administration

00:22:39.920 used to

00:22:40.720 expel

00:22:43.160 illegal 0.56

00:22:44.280 migrants,

00:22:45.720 and he's

00:22:47.540 expelled

00:22:48.000 way more

00:22:48.880 than Trump

00:22:49.340 has.

00:22:50.660 Trump expelled

00:22:51.580 440,000 people

00:22:53.240 under that

00:22:53.880 Title 42,

00:22:56.300 whereas Biden

00:22:57.140 has already

00:22:57.840 got rid

00:22:58.500 of 690,000.

00:23:02.180 Now,

00:23:03.740 what about

00:23:04.440 this story

00:23:05.000 is misleading?

00:23:06.560 Well,

00:23:06.860 everything,

00:23:07.580 right?

00:23:08.040 Because there

00:23:09.020 was this

00:23:09.440 giant surge

00:23:11.760 under Biden,

00:23:12.880 which Biden,

00:23:13.540 of course,

00:23:14.060 is responsible

00:23:14.720 for the surge.

00:23:16.100 But I don't

00:23:17.160 know that you

00:23:17.580 can compare.

00:23:18.280 It's not like

00:23:18.760 an apple

00:23:19.100 and an orange.

00:23:20.320 So Biden

00:23:21.960 created his

00:23:22.720 own problem,

00:23:23.500 and then he

00:23:23.880 semi-solved

00:23:24.980 some of it

00:23:25.580 by using

00:23:26.400 Title 42,

00:23:27.380 but it's

00:23:27.840 just not,

00:23:28.340 it's not

00:23:28.720 exactly apples

00:23:29.420 and oranges

00:23:29.800 here,

00:23:30.420 because Biden

00:23:30.960 opened the

00:23:31.520 border.

00:23:32.340 But it does

00:23:32.960 tell you

00:23:33.360 that Biden's

00:23:35.620 no saint.

00:23:37.620 Biden is

00:23:38.420 no saint

00:23:39.000 when it comes

00:23:39.720 to immigration.

00:23:40.900 How is this

00:23:41.420 going to affect

00:23:42.000 him on

00:23:42.920 the election?

00:23:44.360 I feel as

00:23:45.080 if he's

00:23:46.420 lost in

00:23:46.980 every way

00:23:47.320 you can

00:23:47.560 lose.

00:23:48.200 He's deported

00:23:48.900 more people

00:23:49.560 than Trump,

00:23:50.680 so that

00:23:51.060 looks bad.

00:23:52.180 At the same

00:23:52.680 time,

00:23:52.940 he's opened

00:23:53.300 the border.

00:23:54.640 That's

00:23:54.920 everything bad.

00:23:57.380 Right?

00:23:58.100 It's one thing

00:23:59.020 to open the

00:23:59.520 border,

00:24:00.380 and that's

00:24:00.660 going to

00:24:00.820 make some

00:24:01.420 percentage of

00:24:02.380 the population

00:24:03.300 pretty angry,

00:24:04.480 and it's

00:24:04.920 another thing

00:24:05.540 to deport

00:24:07.200 lots of

00:24:07.700 people.

00:24:08.860 He's doing

00:24:09.300 both.

00:24:09.780 he's doing

00:24:10.660 both of

00:24:11.140 the wrong

00:24:11.480 things at

00:24:11.920 the same

00:24:12.240 time.

00:24:15.000 I did

00:24:15.680 predict that

00:24:16.340 Biden would

00:24:16.900 end up doing

00:24:17.560 Trumpian

00:24:18.100 things,

00:24:18.660 yeah.

00:24:19.160 That in

00:24:19.560 the long

00:24:19.960 run,

00:24:20.400 he's going

00:24:20.780 to have

00:24:21.080 to end

00:24:21.380 up doing

00:24:21.820 some number

00:24:23.080 of things

00:24:23.460 that Trump

00:24:23.820 did,

00:24:24.500 whether he

00:24:25.020 likes it

00:24:25.400 or not.

00:24:26.960 Well,

00:24:27.240 CNN is

00:24:27.880 reporting new

00:24:28.720 and shocking

00:24:29.480 disclosures

00:24:30.320 about last

00:24:31.460 year's,

00:24:32.480 you know,

00:24:32.740 around January

00:24:33.380 6th,

00:24:33.980 and the

00:24:35.180 time when

00:24:35.740 Trump was

00:24:36.400 doubting the

00:24:36.880 election

00:24:37.320 outcome.

00:24:38.980 And let

00:24:39.380 me tell

00:24:39.640 you the

00:24:40.000 shocking,

00:24:41.280 shocking new

00:24:42.700 stuff.

00:24:44.120 This is

00:24:44.560 both shocking

00:24:45.280 and new.

00:24:46.420 So watch

00:24:47.060 how shocked

00:24:47.660 you are

00:24:48.100 and how

00:24:48.980 new this

00:24:49.500 sounds,

00:24:50.280 because it's

00:24:50.700 shocking and

00:24:51.300 new.

00:24:52.180 It's not

00:24:52.680 just shocking.

00:24:54.160 It's not

00:24:54.840 just new.

00:24:56.360 So watch

00:24:56.900 for how

00:24:57.340 the shocking

00:24:57.980 this is

00:24:58.540 and new.

00:25:00.020 All right?

00:25:01.060 So it

00:25:01.680 says that

00:25:02.080 Trump had

00:25:02.560 blueprints

00:25:03.400 for how to

00:25:04.780 prevent Congress

00:25:05.620 from certifying

00:25:06.420 the election.

00:25:06.980 and it

00:25:08.020 was sort

00:25:08.320 of written

00:25:08.580 up in

00:25:08.880 a memo

00:25:09.320 by a

00:25:12.180 lawyer about

00:25:12.880 how Mike

00:25:13.660 Pence could

00:25:14.300 thwart the

00:25:15.500 process by

00:25:16.300 not accepting

00:25:17.440 some states,

00:25:19.040 et cetera.

00:25:20.080 Which part of

00:25:20.840 that is new?

00:25:22.700 None of it,

00:25:23.440 right?

00:25:24.360 We all knew

00:25:24.980 that.

00:25:26.020 We all knew

00:25:26.660 that Trump

00:25:27.080 was trying to

00:25:27.580 get Pence to

00:25:28.380 overthrow the

00:25:29.280 result.

00:25:31.100 Okay,

00:25:31.400 so this part's

00:25:32.240 not new,

00:25:33.240 and it's not

00:25:34.260 extra shocking

00:25:35.080 because we

00:25:35.620 heard this.

00:25:36.140 Now,

00:25:36.840 why would

00:25:37.120 it be

00:25:37.340 shocking

00:25:37.680 if Trump

00:25:39.280 thought it

00:25:39.620 might work?

00:25:42.000 Because I

00:25:42.640 think that

00:25:43.360 whether it

00:25:45.440 is constitutional

00:25:46.300 or not,

00:25:47.700 it looks like

00:25:48.200 he had an

00:25:48.600 argument.

00:25:49.080 He thought

00:25:49.400 maybe he

00:25:49.900 had a case.

00:25:51.080 Why couldn't

00:25:51.660 he do that

00:25:52.260 if he thought

00:25:53.220 it might be

00:25:53.640 illegal?

00:25:55.180 He can do

00:25:55.880 anything that's

00:25:56.380 legal.

00:25:57.780 And if he

00:25:58.100 had a lawyer

00:25:58.640 explain it to

00:25:59.380 him,

00:26:00.420 would Trump

00:26:01.080 assume that

00:26:01.880 the lawyer

00:26:02.560 would keep

00:26:03.300 him from

00:26:03.640 doing something

00:26:04.240 illegal?

00:26:05.740 Remember,

00:26:06.140 it was just

00:26:06.480 a draft,

00:26:07.340 but it

00:26:07.580 came from

00:26:07.860 a lawyer.

00:26:08.700 A high-end

00:26:09.460 White House

00:26:10.280 lawyer wrote

00:26:11.700 up a draft

00:26:12.260 that says,

00:26:12.700 you know,

00:26:12.880 maybe this

00:26:14.040 will work.

00:26:15.460 If the

00:26:16.040 president does

00:26:16.640 something that

00:26:17.140 a lawyer says

00:26:17.900 looks legal,

00:26:19.440 is it

00:26:20.320 shocking?

00:26:22.120 Well,

00:26:22.600 it's not

00:26:22.840 exactly shocking.

00:26:24.560 It might be

00:26:25.180 wrong,

00:26:26.880 but it's not

00:26:27.260 exactly shocking

00:26:28.120 if a lawyer

00:26:29.420 tells you

00:26:29.840 something is

00:26:30.320 legal and

00:26:30.780 then you

00:26:30.980 act like

00:26:31.300 it's legal.

00:26:31.720 How do

00:26:34.120 you decide

00:26:34.580 what's

00:26:34.840 legal?

00:26:36.140 Let me

00:26:36.440 tell you

00:26:36.700 how I

00:26:37.100 do it.

00:26:38.040 I ask

00:26:38.440 a lawyer.

00:26:40.120 I don't

00:26:40.660 just sit

00:26:41.060 there and

00:26:41.360 say,

00:26:41.600 oh,

00:26:41.940 sounds good

00:26:42.460 to me.

00:26:43.140 I'd ask

00:26:43.560 a lawyer.

00:26:44.600 As the

00:26:44.960 lawyer tells

00:26:45.420 me it's

00:26:45.700 legal,

00:26:46.160 I'll act

00:26:46.600 like it's

00:26:47.000 legal.

00:26:48.780 That's all

00:26:49.340 Trump did.

00:26:50.340 Not too

00:26:50.760 shocking.

00:26:52.140 All right?

00:26:54.940 Here they

00:26:55.560 say,

00:26:55.760 Trump's

00:26:56.140 own

00:26:56.300 campaign

00:26:56.800 staff

00:26:57.720 knew

00:26:58.000 the

00:26:58.220 outlandish

00:26:58.860 claims of

00:26:59.440 fraud

00:26:59.900 made by

00:27:00.960 the

00:27:01.100 president's

00:27:01.920 lawyers

00:27:02.260 were utterly

00:27:02.800 false.

00:27:03.380 No,

00:27:03.560 they didn't.

00:27:04.740 No,

00:27:05.020 they didn't.

00:27:05.420 They didn't

00:27:05.760 know it.

00:27:07.100 They probably

00:27:07.820 suspected it.

00:27:10.180 Right?

00:27:10.560 They were

00:27:10.880 probably very

00:27:11.400 skeptical.

00:27:12.520 Probably

00:27:12.840 doubted it,

00:27:14.120 but they

00:27:14.420 didn't know

00:27:14.840 it because

00:27:15.820 it couldn't

00:27:16.140 be known.

00:27:19.280 Here's

00:27:19.760 another

00:27:19.960 shocking

00:27:20.500 thing.

00:27:21.140 Trump sent

00:27:21.560 a letter

00:27:22.240 full of

00:27:22.700 false

00:27:22.980 information,

00:27:23.820 says CNN

00:27:24.200 to Georgia

00:27:25.700 Secretary

00:27:26.140 of State

00:27:26.600 Brad

00:27:27.080 Rauschenberger

00:27:27.660 asking him

00:27:28.220 to try

00:27:30.040 to decertify

00:27:30.800 the result.

00:27:32.140 Which part

00:27:32.820 of that

00:27:33.040 did you

00:27:33.380 know?

00:27:34.760 Did you

00:27:35.200 not know

00:27:35.880 that Trump

00:27:37.260 wanted Georgia 0.90

00:27:37.980 to decertify

00:27:38.880 the results?

00:27:40.280 Which part

00:27:40.920 of that

00:27:41.100 is new

00:27:41.460 or shocking?

00:27:42.820 I think

00:27:43.080 we all

00:27:43.340 knew that,

00:27:43.760 right?

00:27:45.180 The fact

00:27:45.840 that there

00:27:46.140 might have

00:27:46.380 been a

00:27:46.660 letter

00:27:46.860 doesn't

00:27:47.180 really

00:27:47.360 change

00:27:47.620 anything.

00:27:50.200 And

00:27:50.640 this is

00:27:51.560 CNN's

00:27:52.020 reporting.

00:27:52.580 Just the

00:27:52.820 way they

00:27:53.120 word this

00:27:53.560 is just

00:27:53.860 hilarious.

00:27:54.720 So the

00:27:54.980 book

00:27:55.160 Peril

00:27:55.620 Woodward's

00:27:56.420 book also

00:27:57.460 contains a

00:27:58.060 passage that

00:27:58.680 shows Trump

00:27:59.240 cared little

00:27:59.940 for truth,

00:28:01.360 what voters

00:28:02.500 decided in

00:28:03.220 November,

00:28:04.140 or bedrock

00:28:05.100 constitutional

00:28:05.900 values,

00:28:07.060 but agonized

00:28:07.880 about his

00:28:08.260 reputation and

00:28:09.120 mused that

00:28:09.600 accepting defeat

00:28:10.320 would brand

00:28:10.780 him as one

00:28:11.280 of history's 0.98

00:28:11.840 losers. 0.90

00:28:14.140 Is that 1.00

00:28:14.780 true?

00:28:16.900 Can

00:28:17.500 Woodward

00:28:18.380 know that

00:28:19.260 Trump cared

00:28:20.020 little for

00:28:20.660 truth,

00:28:22.020 or what

00:28:22.640 voters

00:28:23.140 decided?

00:28:23.660 How do

00:28:25.940 you

00:28:26.040 conclude

00:28:26.400 that?

00:28:26.720 Was it

00:28:28.320 a brain

00:28:28.720 scan?

00:28:30.500 We could

00:28:31.100 know for

00:28:31.960 sure what

00:28:32.980 Trump did

00:28:33.600 and what

00:28:33.880 he said,

00:28:34.980 but you

00:28:35.880 can't know

00:28:36.220 what he

00:28:36.460 thought.

00:28:37.880 Yeah,

00:28:38.440 you can't

00:28:38.720 know what

00:28:38.920 he thought.

00:28:39.740 That's not

00:28:40.180 a thing.

00:28:42.180 So let's

00:28:43.020 CNN with

00:28:43.520 their new

00:28:43.840 and shocking

00:28:44.380 disclosures

00:28:45.140 of things

00:28:46.040 we've known

00:28:46.480 for many,

00:28:47.620 many months

00:28:48.040 and are

00:28:48.740 not that

00:28:49.060 shocking.

00:28:52.740 So I

00:28:54.520 guess Biden

00:28:55.780 and Boris

00:28:56.440 Johnson

00:28:56.860 got together

00:28:58.260 and Boris

00:28:59.420 Johnson

00:28:59.740 answered some

00:29:00.360 questions,

00:29:01.160 three of

00:29:01.540 them,

00:29:02.380 but Biden's

00:29:03.180 staff shouted

00:29:04.120 down the

00:29:04.540 reporters when

00:29:05.220 they tried

00:29:05.520 to ask a

00:29:06.000 question.

00:29:07.100 This is so

00:29:07.880 embarrassing.

00:29:09.660 Do you

00:29:09.840 remember when

00:29:10.540 Trump was

00:29:11.620 the one that

00:29:12.260 you thought

00:29:12.600 was going to

00:29:13.080 embarrass us

00:29:13.960 in public?

00:29:14.720 Here we've

00:29:16.200 got the

00:29:16.580 Prime Minister

00:29:17.380 of the

00:29:17.760 UK sitting

00:29:19.000 right next

00:29:19.620 to Biden

00:29:20.100 watching his

00:29:21.860 staff not

00:29:23.220 let Biden

00:29:24.000 answer questions

00:29:24.980 right after

00:29:25.840 Boris Johnson

00:29:27.300 did take

00:29:28.400 questions.

00:29:30.340 Boris Johnson

00:29:31.400 took questions

00:29:32.120 in a foreign

00:29:32.700 country.

00:29:35.020 Biden

00:29:35.440 wouldn't take

00:29:36.100 questions in

00:29:37.240 the White

00:29:37.640 House.

00:29:39.320 He just 0.99

00:29:39.920 looks incompetent. 0.98

00:29:41.740 Right?

00:29:42.340 What

00:29:42.580 interpretation

00:29:44.520 would you

00:29:45.200 put on

00:29:45.680 it when

00:29:46.540 you watch

00:29:47.040 Boris Johnson

00:29:48.140 answer three

00:29:48.740 questions and

00:29:49.900 then you

00:29:50.200 watch Biden's

00:29:51.300 staff tell him

00:29:52.140 he can't

00:29:52.920 essentially by

00:29:54.300 shouting him

00:29:54.840 down?

00:29:56.420 Yeah, it

00:29:56.800 looks weak.

00:29:57.760 It looks 0.98

00:29:58.200 incompetent. 0.98

00:30:01.780 And it

00:30:03.220 looks like we

00:30:03.640 don't have

00:30:03.940 confidence in

00:30:04.720 our own

00:30:05.000 leader.

00:30:06.000 It's really

00:30:06.560 a terrible

00:30:07.000 look.

00:30:08.620 Now, who

00:30:10.440 thinks at

00:30:11.100 this point

00:30:11.680 that Trump's

00:30:13.640 reputation

00:30:14.300 actually was

00:30:15.300 worse than

00:30:15.860 Biden's right

00:30:16.540 now?

00:30:17.340 Does anybody

00:30:17.640 think that?

00:30:18.940 Because, you

00:30:19.640 know, no

00:30:20.240 matter what

00:30:20.680 your political

00:30:21.400 leaning is,

00:30:22.540 you could

00:30:22.900 still have an

00:30:23.400 opinion about

00:30:23.920 what other

00:30:24.560 people thought

00:30:25.100 of Trump.

00:30:25.760 Even if you

00:30:26.400 liked him,

00:30:27.560 you could have

00:30:28.020 an opinion

00:30:28.360 that foreign 1.00

00:30:29.080 leaders maybe

00:30:29.660 didn't.

00:30:30.720 I mean, that

00:30:31.040 would be

00:30:31.260 reasonable if

00:30:31.900 you thought

00:30:32.200 that.

00:30:33.340 But do you

00:30:34.220 think that

00:30:34.660 foreign leaders

00:30:35.440 really had a

00:30:37.880 lower opinion

00:30:38.820 of Trump

00:30:39.360 overall than

00:30:41.120 Biden?

00:30:41.440 I don't

00:30:43.300 know.

00:30:43.600 What do

00:30:43.780 you think?

00:30:46.220 Maybe.

00:30:47.020 I mean, we

00:30:47.420 don't know for

00:30:47.920 sure, but I

00:30:48.920 would say that

00:30:49.420 the hypothesis

00:30:50.240 that Trump was

00:30:51.580 the embarrassing

00:30:52.220 one feels

00:30:54.100 debunked,

00:30:54.880 doesn't it?

00:30:56.000 Not in the

00:30:56.580 sense that you

00:30:57.080 know for sure

00:30:57.880 that his

00:30:58.920 reputation was

00:30:59.720 better with

00:31:00.180 these other

00:31:00.600 people, but

00:31:01.420 that there's

00:31:01.800 no evidence

00:31:02.380 it was worse.

00:31:03.860 Let's put it

00:31:04.480 that way.

00:31:05.100 When you say

00:31:05.640 that no court

00:31:06.260 has found,

00:31:06.820 I'd love to

00:31:09.100 go to the

00:31:09.440 no court

00:31:09.940 has found,

00:31:10.920 no court

00:31:11.620 has found

00:31:12.100 that other

00:31:13.160 countries think

00:31:13.960 Trump was

00:31:14.740 less respectable

00:31:16.340 than Biden,

00:31:18.300 or at least

00:31:18.860 less capable.

00:31:22.040 Yeah.

00:31:22.980 All right.

00:31:24.540 Now, my

00:31:25.440 predictions have

00:31:26.220 been so good

00:31:27.040 lately that I 0.99

00:31:28.520 thought, damn, 0.99

00:31:29.780 Scott, if you're 1.00

00:31:30.600 so good at

00:31:31.180 predicting, why

00:31:32.580 don't you solve

00:31:33.300 the pandemic?

00:31:34.480 And that's

00:31:36.200 a reasonable

00:31:36.680 ask.

00:31:39.340 Given my

00:31:40.200 incredible high

00:31:41.980 quality predictions,

00:31:43.400 why don't I

00:31:44.480 apply that to

00:31:45.100 the pandemic

00:31:45.600 and just predict

00:31:46.560 how we can get

00:31:47.160 out of this

00:31:47.560 thing and maybe

00:31:48.300 speed it up?

00:31:49.580 Are you ready?

00:31:50.920 Okay.

00:31:52.020 Here it comes.

00:31:53.020 I ask this

00:31:53.560 question.

00:31:55.300 Would a fan

00:31:56.460 that moves the

00:31:58.020 air in a room

00:31:58.700 reduce the risk

00:32:01.120 in the room

00:32:01.700 of the

00:32:02.700 coronavirus?

00:32:03.060 Just a

00:32:04.320 regular fan.

00:32:05.540 Now, every

00:32:06.700 one of you 1.00

00:32:07.300 fucking people 1.00

00:32:08.100 just thought, 1.00

00:32:09.400 yeah, having

00:32:10.940 good circulation

00:32:13.160 with the

00:32:14.220 outdoors is a

00:32:15.100 good idea,

00:32:15.640 Scott.

00:32:16.280 No, I'm 0.97

00:32:17.120 not fucking 0.98

00:32:17.700 talking about 0.99

00:32:18.260 circulation

00:32:18.840 inside to

00:32:20.080 out.

00:32:20.920 That's not

00:32:21.660 the topic.

00:32:23.560 Right?

00:32:23.780 So everybody

00:32:24.380 who thinks I'm

00:32:25.040 going to talk

00:32:25.400 about circulation,

00:32:27.300 you just leave

00:32:27.900 now.

00:32:28.900 I don't want

00:32:29.800 to see your

00:32:30.160 comments.

00:32:31.160 No circulation

00:32:32.220 talk.

00:32:33.060 We all

00:32:34.100 know an

00:32:34.760 open window

00:32:35.420 is a good

00:32:36.140 idea.

00:32:37.340 Right?

00:32:38.000 If you think

00:32:38.800 you need to

00:32:39.300 tell me that

00:32:41.140 being outdoors

00:32:41.900 is better than

00:32:42.600 being indoors or

00:32:43.540 that opening a

00:32:44.260 window is good,

00:32:46.020 don't participate.

00:32:48.320 We're not

00:32:49.080 talking about

00:32:49.600 that.

00:32:50.540 Okay?

00:32:51.320 So I ask this

00:32:52.280 question.

00:32:53.500 Would the air

00:32:54.360 movement itself,

00:32:55.580 at least at the

00:32:56.640 level that a fan

00:32:57.560 could accomplish,

00:32:58.900 would the air

00:32:59.420 movement itself

00:33:00.080 make the virus

00:33:01.540 degrade?

00:33:04.400 And here are

00:33:05.280 three good

00:33:06.040 hypotheses that

00:33:07.280 I saw.

00:33:07.740 Are you ready?

00:33:09.440 Hypothesis number

00:33:10.280 one.

00:33:11.500 A fan would

00:33:12.820 make your virus

00:33:14.040 particles bounce

00:33:15.340 against surfaces

00:33:16.400 more aggressively.

00:33:18.460 True or false.

00:33:19.860 That faster wind

00:33:21.060 circulation would

00:33:22.640 cause more of

00:33:23.820 the viruses to

00:33:25.580 come into contact

00:33:26.560 with the surface

00:33:27.360 because the

00:33:29.060 surface might

00:33:29.540 be a wall

00:33:30.100 or a ceiling.

00:33:33.060 Why would

00:33:33.560 somebody say

00:33:34.000 false?

00:33:35.080 Add something to

00:33:36.020 that.

00:33:37.220 It seems to me

00:33:38.160 that if you add

00:33:38.800 energy to the

00:33:40.140 system, more of

00:33:41.760 everything happens.

00:33:43.640 Right?

00:33:44.580 That's going to be

00:33:45.280 my take.

00:33:46.040 If you add

00:33:46.640 energy to the

00:33:47.360 system in the

00:33:48.000 form of wind,

00:33:49.720 everything that

00:33:50.480 can happen will

00:33:51.340 more happen

00:33:52.320 because there's

00:33:54.200 more movement.

00:33:54.720 So if something

00:33:55.960 can hit a wall,

00:33:56.840 there will be

00:33:57.060 more of it.

00:33:58.620 So there are

00:33:59.860 two ways that a

00:34:00.600 virus could be

00:34:01.200 degraded by

00:34:01.860 hitting a wall.

00:34:03.240 Number one,

00:34:04.300 the physical

00:34:04.920 contact with the

00:34:05.880 wall might

00:34:07.280 affect its

00:34:08.520 water particle

00:34:09.320 and take off

00:34:10.940 its little cover.

00:34:12.440 The surface

00:34:13.480 itself we know

00:34:14.340 kills it because

00:34:15.880 we're not worried

00:34:17.240 so much anymore

00:34:18.660 about touching

00:34:19.340 stuff, right?

00:34:20.280 You don't see

00:34:20.860 people wearing

00:34:21.360 gloves so much

00:34:22.140 in the grocery

00:34:22.640 store.

00:34:23.040 we're not

00:34:24.740 really worried

00:34:25.120 about surfaces

00:34:25.700 because apparently

00:34:26.580 surfaces kill

00:34:27.400 the virus pretty

00:34:28.040 quickly, pretty

00:34:29.100 much any kind

00:34:29.700 of surface.

00:34:31.240 So number one,

00:34:32.680 the fan blows

00:34:33.380 them against

00:34:33.780 surfaces more

00:34:34.620 often and

00:34:35.280 therefore the

00:34:35.760 surfaces kill

00:34:36.440 it.

00:34:37.160 Number two,

00:34:38.920 fans reduce

00:34:39.780 humidity.

00:34:41.720 All agree with

00:34:42.600 this?

00:34:42.900 The fans reduce

00:34:43.960 humidity.

00:34:46.080 Moving air

00:34:46.900 reduces humidity.

00:34:48.580 Now, fact

00:34:49.500 checked me on

00:34:49.960 all the

00:34:50.200 assumptions, but

00:34:50.820 I believe that's

00:34:51.340 true.

00:34:52.100 I looked it

00:34:52.660 up.

00:34:53.900 Lower

00:34:54.380 humidity is

00:34:56.300 damaging for

00:34:57.280 coronavirus that's

00:34:58.780 in the air.

00:34:59.580 Do we agree?

00:35:00.780 I'm saying all

00:35:01.760 no's, but I

00:35:03.740 googled it, so

00:35:04.720 I'm pretty sure

00:35:07.380 I'm right, even

00:35:08.320 though you're

00:35:08.700 disagreeing.

00:35:09.800 So later, you

00:35:10.880 can google it

00:35:11.480 yourself and see

00:35:12.200 what you think.

00:35:14.200 But the thought

00:35:15.100 is that the

00:35:15.620 moving air would

00:35:16.420 reduce the

00:35:17.260 volume of water

00:35:21.440 water that

00:35:21.680 contains it, and

00:35:23.540 therefore the

00:35:24.200 virus would

00:35:24.760 fall free because

00:35:25.460 it would have

00:35:26.120 less water

00:35:26.760 supporting it in

00:35:27.980 the air, I

00:35:28.340 guess.

00:35:30.960 So I see your

00:35:32.360 disagreement on

00:35:33.060 this, but if

00:35:35.400 it's not true

00:35:36.740 that air flow

00:35:37.760 reduces humidity,

00:35:39.820 I would be

00:35:42.580 surprised.

00:35:46.580 Scott is the

00:35:47.440 Biden of

00:35:47.880 science.

00:35:49.060 I accept that.

00:35:50.560 Here's the

00:35:51.480 third way

00:35:53.240 am I

00:35:53.700 help, by

00:35:55.040 distributing

00:35:55.620 it.

00:35:57.560 Could it

00:35:58.580 turn the virus

00:36:00.240 from a deadly

00:36:01.300 infection into a

00:36:02.340 vaccination by

00:36:03.280 making it so

00:36:04.180 little everywhere?

00:36:05.140 because when

00:36:06.500 people are

00:36:06.900 breathing, their

00:36:07.940 virus is in a

00:36:09.080 plume that

00:36:10.480 takes a while to

00:36:11.340 distribute.

00:36:12.380 If you walk

00:36:13.120 right into

00:36:13.580 somebody's

00:36:14.220 plume, plume

00:36:16.260 I say, yeah,

00:36:17.720 plume, if you

00:36:19.160 walk right into

00:36:19.740 somebody's plume,

00:36:20.600 aren't you getting

00:36:21.060 a big viral dose

00:36:22.000 and therefore

00:36:22.520 even if you do

00:36:24.300 get sick, it'll

00:36:24.880 be worse, but

00:36:26.800 also increases the

00:36:27.700 chance you'll get

00:36:28.200 sick.

00:36:29.160 If the wind is

00:36:30.180 going, the

00:36:31.220 plumes dissipate

00:36:32.140 faster, and you

00:36:33.820 have no plume.

00:36:35.140 Now, the

00:36:35.600 room will still

00:36:36.240 be full of

00:36:36.760 virus, but it

00:36:38.800 won't be

00:36:39.120 concentrated.

00:36:40.480 How is that

00:36:40.980 not better?

00:36:42.120 Now, if you

00:36:42.620 wait hours and

00:36:43.440 hours, the

00:36:44.020 room just, you

00:36:44.720 know, if there's

00:36:45.060 no circulation,

00:36:45.940 the room will

00:36:46.300 just fill with

00:36:46.980 virus and then

00:36:47.640 it doesn't

00:36:47.940 matter if you're

00:36:48.480 in a plume

00:36:49.460 or not, the

00:36:50.160 whole room

00:36:50.500 will be a

00:36:50.900 plume.

00:36:52.140 But every

00:36:53.540 room has some

00:36:54.300 kind of

00:36:54.620 circulation,

00:36:55.940 right?

00:36:57.060 You're not

00:36:57.640 like in a

00:36:58.100 sealed vacuum

00:36:58.820 or anything.

00:36:59.640 So I would

00:37:00.240 say that a

00:37:00.980 fan would

00:37:01.560 reduce your

00:37:03.840 odds of

00:37:04.660 infection in

00:37:05.360 three ways.

00:37:06.120 The particles

00:37:06.640 getting banged

00:37:07.400 against surfaces,

00:37:08.100 which kills

00:37:08.720 them, reduced

00:37:09.880 humidity, which

00:37:11.200 is bad for

00:37:11.820 viruses, and

00:37:13.440 it's distributed,

00:37:15.780 so there's no

00:37:16.460 plume to get

00:37:17.360 you a high

00:37:17.820 viral load.

00:37:19.040 This is my

00:37:20.000 solution to

00:37:21.020 the pandemic.

00:37:22.300 Now, how

00:37:22.860 could you

00:37:23.580 test it?

00:37:25.360 I feel like

00:37:27.400 you could do

00:37:28.020 a survey of

00:37:29.580 people who

00:37:30.060 got the

00:37:30.540 virus and

00:37:31.520 knew where

00:37:31.940 they got it

00:37:32.640 because there

00:37:34.260 are enough of

00:37:34.800 those cases

00:37:35.320 where you have

00:37:36.440 a really strong

00:37:37.160 idea of where

00:37:37.680 you got it

00:37:38.120 because other

00:37:38.480 people got it

00:37:39.100 in the same

00:37:39.540 place, etc.

00:37:40.740 Could you

00:37:41.280 not test the

00:37:43.660 airflow in those

00:37:44.380 places?

00:37:45.440 Could you not

00:37:46.080 find that where

00:37:46.840 there are ceiling

00:37:47.460 fans, you don't

00:37:48.300 get infected?

00:37:50.140 I'll bet that's

00:37:50.960 true.

00:37:51.340 I'll bet you

00:37:52.540 could find that

00:37:54.160 wherever there's

00:37:54.920 airflow from

00:37:56.060 ceiling fans,

00:37:57.780 that you have

00:37:59.260 almost no

00:37:59.840 infections.

00:38:01.540 So, there's my

00:38:02.520 hypothesis.

00:38:03.720 Remember, all my

00:38:05.220 predictions have

00:38:05.820 been right so

00:38:06.360 far.

00:38:07.560 Why would this

00:38:08.100 one be wrong?

00:38:09.180 Could it be?

00:38:10.500 Could it be that

00:38:11.900 you just need to

00:38:12.560 turn on your

00:38:13.080 fans?

00:38:15.640 You just need to

00:38:16.760 turn on your

00:38:17.240 fans.

00:38:19.040 Now, and it

00:38:20.940 could be that

00:38:21.440 there's just a

00:38:22.060 minimum amount

00:38:23.060 of airflow that

00:38:24.720 is required for

00:38:26.160 the virus to

00:38:26.720 spread effectively.

00:38:29.340 All right.

00:38:29.740 But when I

00:38:31.360 asked that

00:38:31.660 question, whether

00:38:32.260 the fans would

00:38:33.000 degrade the

00:38:33.420 virus, the

00:38:33.940 worst answer I

00:38:34.660 got was from

00:38:35.340 Peter Elfden,

00:38:36.360 who said,

00:38:37.300 no, because

00:38:38.460 imaginary things

00:38:39.600 can't be

00:38:40.260 damaged.

00:38:41.900 So, Peter

00:38:42.520 believes that

00:38:43.060 the virus

00:38:43.540 doesn't even

00:38:44.920 exist.

00:38:46.900 Strong take.

00:38:49.760 All right.

00:38:50.160 So, here's a

00:38:52.920 surprising report.

00:38:56.220 I don't know if

00:38:57.020 this is true.

00:38:57.820 So, I saw this on

00:38:58.620 Yahoo News, I

00:38:59.540 think.

00:39:00.880 So, Rustic, Inc.

00:39:06.360 writes in all

00:39:07.080 capital letters,

00:39:08.340 Scott, stop

00:39:09.260 embarrassing

00:39:09.740 yourself.

00:39:11.220 Rustic, there

00:39:12.960 are two things you

00:39:13.720 don't want to do

00:39:14.340 in public.

00:39:14.780 Number one,

00:39:17.360 don't mock

00:39:18.520 somebody by

00:39:19.780 calling yourself

00:39:20.440 a genius and

00:39:22.040 spell the word

00:39:22.740 genius wrong.

00:39:25.160 All right.

00:39:26.340 Never mock

00:39:27.200 somebody for not

00:39:27.960 being a genius or

00:39:28.840 call yourself a

00:39:29.600 genius and spell

00:39:30.940 the word genius

00:39:31.720 wrong.

00:39:32.740 I've seen this

00:39:33.200 done many times.

00:39:33.900 Don't do that.

00:39:34.840 The other thing

00:39:35.480 you don't want to

00:39:36.040 do is say in all

00:39:38.820 capital letters,

00:39:39.680 stop embarrassing

00:39:40.360 yourself.

00:39:40.860 because you said

00:39:43.380 it in all capital

00:39:44.100 letters and

00:39:44.640 embarrassed yourself.

00:39:46.460 Now, if you said

00:39:48.580 it in lowercase, I

00:39:49.960 might ask you, in

00:39:50.800 what way am I

00:39:51.520 embarrassing myself?

00:39:52.720 But if you do it

00:39:53.400 in all uppercase,

00:39:55.600 you just spelled

00:39:56.980 genius without a

00:39:58.060 U, if you know

00:39:58.900 what I mean.

00:40:01.060 All right.

00:40:03.920 Wuhan and U.S.

00:40:05.060 scientists,

00:40:06.180 according to this

00:40:06.960 report that I don't

00:40:08.240 know if it's true or

00:40:08.880 not, they were

00:40:09.940 planning to release,

00:40:10.940 or at least they

00:40:11.400 thought about it,

00:40:12.660 enhanced airborne

00:40:14.780 coronavirus particles

00:40:16.220 into Chinese bat 0.84

00:40:18.460 caves to inoculate

00:40:20.780 them against diseases

00:40:22.860 that could jump to

00:40:24.980 humans.

00:40:26.720 So they wanted to

00:40:29.300 actually put a

00:40:30.780 disease into the

00:40:31.760 bat caves.

00:40:34.580 Now, I think right

00:40:37.020 off the bat, right

00:40:39.000 off the bat, right

00:40:41.540 off the bat, you

00:40:43.240 can see that this

00:40:43.960 was a bad idea.

00:40:44.980 Right off the

00:40:45.520 bat.

00:40:49.280 Do I have to tell

00:40:51.040 you why this is a

00:40:51.720 bad idea?

00:40:53.900 Why is it a bad

00:40:54.840 idea to release a

00:40:56.060 deadly virus into a

00:40:57.200 bat cave?

00:40:59.320 It would kill

00:41:00.140 Robin.

00:41:02.500 I mean, that's the

00:41:03.220 obvious problem.

00:41:04.560 Robin, dead.

00:41:06.300 Now, Batman might

00:41:08.120 pull through, but

00:41:09.920 Robin, I think

00:41:10.540 Robin would not

00:41:11.600 make it.

00:41:12.440 Robin looks a

00:41:13.000 little weak.

00:41:14.000 So you don't

00:41:14.400 want to put any

00:41:14.940 deadly pathogens

00:41:15.800 into the bat

00:41:16.660 cave, because

00:41:17.960 Batman's in there

00:41:18.980 and Robin, and

00:41:19.880 it could be a

00:41:21.700 problem.

00:41:22.960 But isn't this

00:41:27.220 exactly the idea

00:41:28.320 that I came up

00:41:30.440 with the other

00:41:30.800 day, which is

00:41:31.980 can't you find the

00:41:33.020 weakest variant of

00:41:35.540 COVID and just

00:41:36.640 make lots of it

00:41:37.380 and give it to

00:41:38.060 me?

00:41:38.880 Can somebody

00:41:39.680 please infect me

00:41:40.780 with the weakest

00:41:41.600 variant of COVID?

00:41:43.960 I mean, just rub it

00:41:44.740 all over my body.

00:41:46.320 Because if I get the

00:41:47.200 weak one, I'm going

00:41:47.860 to be fine, right?

00:41:48.940 I just don't want

00:41:49.620 one of the strong

00:41:50.260 ones.

00:41:51.060 But if I get the

00:41:51.760 weak one, aren't I

00:41:53.180 going to be pretty

00:41:54.480 protected against a

00:41:55.520 strong one just like

00:41:56.440 these bats would be?

00:41:57.860 Same concept.

00:41:59.600 Same concept.

00:42:01.260 If this was going

00:42:02.200 to work for bats,

00:42:03.060 why wouldn't it

00:42:03.560 work for people?

00:42:06.800 So they also,

00:42:08.660 according to this

00:42:09.400 report, which I

00:42:10.320 have some skepticism

00:42:12.000 about, that they

00:42:14.460 also plan to create

00:42:15.540 chimeric viruses.

00:42:18.220 Now, you might think

00:42:19.320 that a chimeric

00:42:20.740 virus is actually

00:42:22.480 a chimeric virus.

00:42:25.400 C-H-I-M-E-R-I-C. 1.00

00:42:28.380 But don't call it

00:42:29.080 chimeric.

00:42:30.160 Don't call it that.

00:42:31.040 Call it chimeric.

00:42:32.200 I don't even know

00:42:34.480 if that's the right

00:42:35.020 pronunciation.

00:42:36.240 But one of them

00:42:36.880 is right.

00:42:38.040 Don't do the wrong

00:42:38.780 one.

00:42:39.960 Anyway, they were

00:42:42.380 trying to create

00:42:42.940 these viruses that

00:42:44.260 would be genetically

00:42:45.400 enhanced to infect

00:42:48.340 humans more...

00:42:50.200 What?

00:42:52.660 They also plan to

00:42:53.740 create chimeric

00:42:54.560 viruses genetically

00:42:55.540 enhanced to infect

00:42:56.720 humans more easily.

00:43:00.360 and requested $14

00:43:03.840 million from

00:43:04.780 Defense Advanced

00:43:07.000 Research Projects

00:43:08.060 Agency, DARPA,

00:43:09.140 to fund the work.

00:43:14.180 What?

00:43:18.440 What?

00:43:19.040 They actually asked

00:43:21.580 for money to make

00:43:23.400 genetically deadly

00:43:24.760 viruses that are

00:43:26.620 specifically engineered

00:43:27.560 to kill humans. 1.00

00:43:32.280 Probably a bad idea. 1.00

00:43:34.240 I don't know.

00:43:34.940 I'm no virologist.

00:43:37.160 I'm no expert.

00:43:39.320 I'm no expert on these

00:43:40.620 things.

00:43:41.320 But it feels like a

00:43:42.420 bad idea, right?

00:43:44.320 It feels bad.

00:43:45.360 Now, when I heard

00:43:47.320 that Fauci had been

00:43:50.260 involved, you know,

00:43:51.260 the allegation is he

00:43:52.460 was involved in some

00:43:53.220 kind of funding on

00:43:55.100 gain of function.

00:43:57.080 Was I worried about

00:43:58.240 that?

00:43:59.480 Not that much.

00:44:01.220 Because it does seem

00:44:02.500 like the argument that

00:44:03.440 you need to be

00:44:04.320 experienced in gain of

00:44:05.720 function because,

00:44:07.240 you know, it's a risk

00:44:08.320 that's coming at you.

00:44:10.220 I think there's

00:44:11.060 something to that.

00:44:11.920 that studying just

00:44:14.040 the idea of

00:44:15.140 weaponizing a virus

00:44:16.260 or how it could be

00:44:17.480 done or, you know,

00:44:18.400 what the risk is,

00:44:20.240 that might be worth

00:44:21.920 doing.

00:44:23.640 But there was

00:44:25.220 somebody actually

00:44:25.880 planning to make

00:44:26.900 the world's most

00:44:27.900 deadliest virus for

00:44:29.060 humans?

00:44:30.280 Like, they were

00:44:30.980 actually trying to

00:44:31.680 make that?

00:44:33.420 And somebody had

00:44:34.300 that as a plan?

00:44:36.320 I'm not sure I

00:44:37.220 believe this.

00:44:38.040 Do you?

00:44:39.980 I mean, I suppose

00:44:41.040 anything's possible.

00:44:42.000 But I'm going to

00:44:42.460 say, I'm not going

00:44:43.540 to say it's false.

00:44:45.000 That would be going

00:44:45.660 too far.

00:44:46.460 I'm going to say I'm

00:44:47.220 skeptical about this

00:44:48.320 one.

00:44:49.160 This one has, you

00:44:50.960 know, a little bit

00:44:51.540 too much on the

00:44:52.200 nose, right?

00:44:53.840 A little too on the

00:44:54.520 nose?

00:44:55.980 That they were

00:44:56.580 actually trying to

00:44:57.440 make the virus

00:44:58.200 that's this virus?

00:45:00.260 That feels,

00:45:02.000 I don't know.

00:45:03.360 Am I wrong?

00:45:03.960 Am I wrong that

00:45:04.620 it's too on the

00:45:05.180 nose?

00:45:06.460 You know, once

00:45:07.160 you've heard me

00:45:07.640 say it, right?

00:45:09.020 Until somebody says

00:45:09.860 it, you don't

00:45:10.340 realize something's

00:45:11.080 on the nose.

00:45:11.960 Somebody has to

00:45:12.640 say it the first 0.70

00:45:13.220 time.

00:45:13.780 And then you

00:45:14.240 say, hmm, it

00:45:15.980 does look a little

00:45:16.640 on the nose.

00:45:19.300 Yeah, I mean, I'm

00:45:21.040 going to say that

00:45:21.560 this one is, there's

00:45:23.180 a solid chance that

00:45:24.620 it's true.

00:45:24.980 there's a good, solid

00:45:26.980 chance it's true.

00:45:28.360 But I'm skeptical.

00:45:29.260 I think we might

00:45:30.800 find out there's a

00:45:31.640 little nuance to the

00:45:32.380 story that we don't

00:45:33.860 know yet.

00:45:37.440 And when the story

00:45:42.380 goes on, it says,

00:45:43.620 when COVID-19 was

00:45:44.540 first genetically

00:45:45.340 sequenced, scientists

00:45:47.240 were puzzled about how

00:45:48.380 the virus had

00:45:49.040 evolved such a

00:45:49.900 human-specific

00:45:50.820 adaptation.

00:45:51.560 adaptation, but

00:45:52.580 apparently that

00:45:53.240 adaptation is

00:45:54.100 exactly what they

00:45:54.960 wanted to do.

00:45:56.400 Looks like they

00:45:57.140 did it.

00:45:59.920 But it also

00:46:00.860 answers this

00:46:01.940 question, doesn't

00:46:02.700 it?

00:46:03.200 Do you remember

00:46:03.660 my question?

00:46:05.500 My question

00:46:10.500 was, why is

00:46:12.500 there exactly

00:46:13.060 one bad

00:46:13.820 variant, the

00:46:15.160 Delta?

00:46:16.940 Are there

00:46:18.100 hundreds or

00:46:18.680 thousands of

00:46:19.640 variants now?

00:46:21.660 And only one

00:46:22.200 bad one.

00:46:24.060 I feel as if the

00:46:25.460 bad one was

00:46:26.200 engineered, just

00:46:27.800 like the first

00:46:28.460 one.

00:46:29.540 I feel as if

00:46:31.220 there are just

00:46:31.520 two engineered

00:46:32.240 viruses, that

00:46:33.120 we'll find that

00:46:33.660 out someday.

00:46:34.140 And all the

00:46:35.380 other variants

00:46:35.920 were weaker.

00:46:39.440 Lambda and

00:46:40.060 mu, well,

00:46:40.940 let's see.

00:46:41.860 I mean, so

00:46:42.360 far, so

00:46:43.460 far, no,

00:46:44.040 right?

00:46:45.240 So far, no.

00:46:49.260 Anyway, that

00:46:50.960 is your news

00:46:52.760 for the day.

00:46:54.360 And wish my

00:46:57.260 cat well today.

00:46:58.260 My cat's going

00:46:59.040 under the knife

00:46:59.600 today, a little

00:47:00.180 surgery.

00:47:00.580 surgery.

00:47:03.580 And she's

00:47:04.580 got ear

00:47:06.040 polyps.

00:47:07.960 She's doing

00:47:08.580 not well.

00:47:10.080 So Boo has

00:47:11.000 not been able

00:47:11.740 to eat for

00:47:12.220 days.

00:47:13.080 We're giving

00:47:13.760 her fluids and

00:47:14.460 antibiotics and

00:47:15.240 stuff, but her

00:47:16.360 head's all 0.88

00:47:17.620 infected.

00:47:18.960 She's not

00:47:19.420 doing well.

00:47:20.220 So she's going

00:47:20.960 to have some

00:47:21.360 surgery today,

00:47:22.080 11 o'clock

00:47:22.700 California time.

00:47:24.560 And wish her

00:47:26.140 luck, because

00:47:27.580 she's my best

00:47:28.200 friend.

00:47:28.460 All right.

00:47:31.480 Yeah, watch

00:47:32.020 your pockets.

00:47:32.720 It's going to

00:47:33.060 be expensive.

00:47:34.800 I think this

00:47:35.460 is going to be

00:47:35.860 the $15,000

00:47:37.920 cat when we're

00:47:39.280 done.

00:47:40.540 But worth

00:47:41.380 every penny.

00:47:42.140 And I will

00:47:42.640 talk to you

00:47:43.240 tomorrow,

00:47:44.360 YouTubers. 0.92
