Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1516 Scott Adams： Lots of Fun and Interesting Stories Today, and Coffee Too!

00:00:00.000 Um, well, good morning, everybody.

00:00:10.100 My understanding is that the YouTube stream starts about 10 seconds after I go live.

00:00:16.040 In other words, you know, somehow I guess you miss the first 10 seconds if you're watching live.

00:00:20.800 And that's why I stall. I stall.

00:00:24.220 Well, Boo the Cat is looking good, but I have to take her back to the vet today for a little checkup as soon as I'm done with this. 0.61

00:00:34.600 Yes, no sip yet. No sip yet.

00:00:37.980 So, how about it?

00:00:40.860 How would you like to make this like a really good day?

00:00:44.040 A really good day? I mean, to launch you into the weekend?

00:00:47.140 I know, I know. Yeah, it's going to be amazing.

00:00:50.180 And all you need is, uh, well, a cup of mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a canteen, a jug, a flask, a pestle of any kind.

00:00:58.200 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:01:00.760 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:01:04.460 Well, yeah, you know it. You've done it before. You know it.

00:01:07.900 If you're new to this, well, you've got a surprise coming.

00:01:11.840 It's called the Simultaneous Sip.

00:01:13.700 And despite its ordinary sound, it's extraordinary.

00:01:17.840 Watch. Go.

00:01:20.180 Yeah, that made everything better.

00:01:27.060 I'm always surprised when it works.

00:01:29.820 Well, one of my favorite stories of the day.

00:01:33.000 I guess the Rolling Stones have some concert tour they're doing.

00:01:37.600 And Mick Jagger was in Charlotte, North Carolina,

00:01:40.060 and decided to go into a dive bar by himself.

00:01:43.920 That's right. Mick Jagger walked into a dive bar in Charlotte, North Carolina, just by himself, and had a beer.

00:01:53.100 Here's the funny part.

00:01:56.560 Nobody recognized him the entire time he was there, including people who had tickets to his show.

00:02:03.940 Now, you have to see the photo, because I think Mick Jagger is the one who posted it.

00:02:11.620 He's just standing there alone, leaning on some kind of counter, having a beer.

00:02:15.620 And as somebody in the comments noted, and it was just one of the greatest comments,

00:02:21.060 if you and I take a picture in a bar having a beer, it looks like a picture of you or I having a beer in a bar.

00:02:29.900 But when Mick Jagger takes a picture of himself in a bar, it looked exactly like an album cover.

00:02:37.920 And until you hear the comment, you don't realize it, and then you look at it again, and you're like,

00:02:41.560 that looks exactly like an awesome album cover.

00:02:45.400 I would buy the album.

00:02:47.020 You have to see the picture to see.

00:02:50.060 With no effort whatsoever, Mick Jagger is so permanently cool

00:02:56.160 that he just has to walk in with, like, a funny hat on, lean on the bar and have a beer,

00:03:02.420 and you've got an album cover.

00:03:04.100 How the hell does he do that?

00:03:06.460 How do you do that?

00:03:08.160 Just exist?

00:03:10.000 And you're so cool, you're an album cover wherever you go?

00:03:12.880 Anyway, here's my story within the story.

00:03:18.080 Did you know that men of a certain age are invisible?

00:03:22.620 Oh, they are.

00:03:24.420 Men, can you back me up?

00:03:26.700 If you're male, and you're a certain age, nobody looks at you. 0.98

00:03:32.280 You can walk down the street with, like, a knife stuck in your forehead.

00:03:39.620 People will not notice. 1.00

00:03:42.060 You can walk down the street with your dick hanging out. 1.00

00:03:45.560 I'm sorry. 1.00

00:03:47.120 You know what I mean.

00:03:48.660 Nobody's going to notice.

00:03:49.580 Because in the way we score people's value in society,

00:03:56.440 an adult male has the lowest value.

00:03:58.760 We don't even look at them.

00:04:01.240 And the first time I noticed this, this was years ago,

00:04:04.920 I had some laser surgery on my face to get rid of some spider veins.

00:04:08.760 And the technology of the day was a little less than it is now.

00:04:14.080 And so for weeks, you would look like you went through a windshield.

00:04:17.560 Your face would be all, like, swollen and purple until it healed.

00:04:22.940 And, you know, the advice was, well, you know,

00:04:25.120 you probably want to stay home for a few days

00:04:27.120 because it's going to be frightening to go out

00:04:29.180 and people see your face looking all messed up like that.

00:04:32.280 That lasted about two days.

00:04:33.460 Oh, there's, on Locals, somebody posted the photo.

00:04:38.740 Let me see if I can show this to the rest of you.

00:04:42.800 All right.

00:04:43.300 On YouTube, if you haven't seen it, let's see if this works.

00:04:47.180 Over on the Locals platform, somebody posted it.

00:04:50.060 Now, you tell me that doesn't look like an album cover.

00:04:53.320 So that's Mick Jagger having a beer at a dive bar.

00:04:56.360 These guys over on the side?

00:04:58.640 No idea.

00:04:59.180 No idea that they were this close to the coolest thing

00:05:03.480 that ever happened to them in their entire life.

00:05:06.360 All they had to do was stand up and start talking to Mick Jagger

00:05:11.080 because he was standing there.

00:05:13.660 I'm sure he would have been friendly, right?

00:05:15.240 He went to a bar.

00:05:15.980 He's not going to ignore them.

00:05:17.760 They could have just hung out with Mick Jagger.

00:05:19.940 They didn't know.

00:05:20.620 They were just five feet away.

00:05:25.560 Anyway, something about that I just love.

00:05:29.180 Thank you over at Locals for posting that.

00:05:37.280 Rasmussen has a poll out asking people

00:05:39.640 if they believed Biden or General Milley about Afghanistan,

00:05:44.300 and specifically the question of whether the generals

00:05:47.080 had recommended keeping 2,500 or so people,

00:05:51.400 and Biden said that he had never been advised of that.

00:05:54.120 57% of respondents, remember this is the whole country,

00:05:59.780 this is Democrats plus Republicans,

00:06:01.980 57% believe Milley, only 21% believe Biden.

00:06:09.820 Remember I told you about that 25%-ish? 0.99

00:06:14.040 Like every poll seems to have 25%-ish, you know, give or take,

00:06:18.160 of people who are just whack.

00:06:19.240 They get every question wrong.

00:06:22.200 I believe if they took the SATs, they'd get a zero.

00:06:25.660 It's like 25% of the country.

00:06:28.060 And 21% believe Biden.

00:06:31.960 How the hell do you believe Biden in that case?

00:06:33.880 All the generals were on the same side.

00:06:36.160 It would be the easiest thing to fact-check in the world.

00:06:39.280 In the world, it would be the easiest thing

00:06:41.280 you could ever fact-check.

00:06:42.400 And 21%, probably all Democrats,

00:06:45.520 like, oh yeah, I believe Biden.

00:06:46.540 All right.

00:06:51.800 So speaking of Biden and his approval,

00:06:55.500 CNN is ringing the alarm.

00:06:59.940 There's an Iowa poll, so this is just for Iowa,

00:07:03.460 but Biden's approval has reached an historic low, 31%.

00:07:08.920 Apparently that's lower than Obama or Trump ever got.

00:07:13.280 So Biden is breaking records for low approval.

00:07:19.060 And, you know, even CNN is saying,

00:07:21.980 uh-uh, we have a problem here.

00:07:25.580 Do you realize that Biden getting elected

00:07:28.460 could end up being the best thing

00:07:31.140 that ever happened to Republicans?

00:07:32.740 Because I don't think you could ever get to a point

00:07:34.940 where Republicans controlled everything

00:07:37.100 until you had a Biden.

00:07:39.740 Am I wrong?

00:07:40.520 Until you have a Biden,

00:07:43.260 the country isn't going to really appreciate

00:07:45.560 what the other side is offering,

00:07:47.720 especially Trump.

00:07:49.640 And correct me if I'm wrong,

00:07:51.380 but isn't almost everything worse

00:07:53.860 than under Trump?

00:07:56.380 I mean, you could argue about the pandemic,

00:07:58.520 but that was, you know,

00:07:59.640 that was going to happen the way it happened,

00:08:01.080 no matter who was president.

00:08:02.000 It feels like everything's worse a little bit.

00:08:06.520 I don't know.

00:08:07.960 You know, stock market's, you know, relatively up,

00:08:10.900 but that's not how you measure things.

00:08:14.060 All right.

00:08:16.100 I'd like to give a compliment

00:08:17.460 to somebody that I would not normally compliment.

00:08:21.440 And I tell you that I like to do this as a system.

00:08:26.300 You know, I always tell you,

00:08:27.160 have a system, not a goal.

00:08:28.740 Well, if your goal was to be unbiased,

00:08:32.500 you don't have a way to do it.

00:08:35.440 So just having a goal doesn't give you enough.

00:08:37.760 You need a system to be unbiased,

00:08:40.220 or at least as unbiased as a human being can be, right?

00:08:42.720 There's a limit to how unbiased you can be.

00:08:44.920 So one of my techniques,

00:08:46.440 which I share with you often,

00:08:47.620 is to compliment somebody you typically disagree with,

00:08:51.440 just to see if you can do it.

00:08:53.640 All right.

00:08:54.100 So here's a compliment to CNN's Chris Silliza.

00:08:57.100 He's an opinion guy.

00:08:59.580 He does these little video packages

00:09:01.300 that appear on CNN,

00:09:03.040 and you've probably been watching him forever.

00:09:05.700 So if you've ever watched Chris Silliza

00:09:07.980 do any kind of video presentation,

00:09:10.740 most of you have seen him, right,

00:09:11.920 if you watch CNN.

00:09:13.360 And you know it's sort of straightforward,

00:09:15.780 you know, the normal way

00:09:16.880 that anybody would do a video on CNN.

00:09:19.560 But apparently he's changed his game

00:09:23.080 the way he does his presentation.

00:09:25.860 He went big.

00:09:27.240 So he's got lots of action,

00:09:28.980 and, you know, he's just going wild,

00:09:31.140 and, you know, lots of movement in his chair,

00:09:33.720 and just going big.

00:09:36.320 And I've got to tell you,

00:09:38.400 you frickin' nailed it. 0.58

00:09:40.840 I've got to say.

00:09:42.540 And here's your persuasion communication lesson for the day.

00:09:48.820 There is a...

00:09:50.060 When you're doing this kind of work,

00:09:51.920 meaning you're on camera,

00:09:52.940 there's an illusion,

00:09:55.560 also true of public speaking,

00:09:57.360 any kind of public presenting,

00:09:58.920 there's an illusion that happens with the presenter.

00:10:02.220 And the illusion is

00:10:03.500 that if I get wild,

00:10:05.920 people will like me less,

00:10:07.240 or I'll be embarrassed.

00:10:08.800 You know, something bad will happen

00:10:10.060 if I go big.

00:10:11.660 So I've got to...

00:10:12.480 I've just got to give you the facts.

00:10:14.380 You know, keep my arms

00:10:16.540 in the normal way that a speaker does.

00:10:19.620 Just got to keep it serious.

00:10:21.500 But people don't like that.

00:10:25.220 So the thing you think is going to be...

00:10:26.800 The good presentation is always the bad one.

00:10:29.180 The thing you think is too risky,

00:10:31.200 just go wild.

00:10:32.780 You know, just go full Alex Jones.

00:10:34.960 It works.

00:10:36.480 Everybody wants to watch

00:10:37.960 something with more energy.

00:10:40.640 If you bring more energy,

00:10:42.280 people like it better.

00:10:43.760 More action, more variety, etc.

00:10:46.020 So Selyza seems to have maybe got some advice

00:10:51.620 or maybe just did it on his own.

00:10:53.620 But he's really nailing it.

00:10:54.740 You have to watch it.

00:10:55.460 It's really well done.

00:10:57.000 Regardless of whether you agree with his opinion.

00:10:59.460 His game is really good now.

00:11:02.620 Panama is warning us

00:11:03.860 that 60,000 Haitian immigrants

00:11:06.100 are forming a caravan

00:11:07.480 to go north.

00:11:09.560 To cross the border.

00:11:12.000 60,000.

00:11:16.120 Turns out Panama has been warning the U.S. for some time.

00:11:20.540 Do you remember the big story about it?

00:11:23.720 Nope.

00:11:25.200 No, you don't.

00:11:27.180 You don't remember the big story

00:11:28.580 about the 60,000 people

00:11:30.300 that Panama warned us for

00:11:31.900 for weeks or months

00:11:33.440 or however long it's been?

00:11:34.400 We just found out.

00:11:36.180 You just found out

00:11:39.020 what your government knew

00:11:40.160 for a long time.

00:11:41.700 60,000 Haitian immigrants

00:11:43.680 are coming our way.

00:11:45.460 Do you think that's it?

00:11:46.400 That's all they have?

00:11:47.920 60,000 and we're done?

00:11:50.600 Nope.

00:11:52.120 The reason 60,000 are coming

00:11:54.040 is because 15,000

00:11:55.380 or whatever percentage of them

00:11:56.940 got in.

00:11:58.660 They're coming because it works.

00:12:01.240 As long as it works,

00:12:02.580 they're going to come more.

00:12:03.440 I mean, why wouldn't they?

00:12:04.760 What is it I tell you

00:12:05.720 that Democrats consistently get wrong?

00:12:10.000 In the comments,

00:12:11.220 what do I tell you

00:12:12.140 Democrats consistently get wrong?

00:12:14.360 And it doesn't matter

00:12:14.920 what the topic is.

00:12:16.440 Every topic, same problem.

00:12:18.060 Human motivation, right?

00:12:20.180 They misjudge

00:12:21.640 or don't include

00:12:23.260 human motivation.

00:12:25.100 And as long as you design

00:12:27.480 a system ignoring human motivation

00:12:30.260 or assuming that everybody

00:12:32.140 does the right thing

00:12:33.260 and everybody's, you know,

00:12:35.040 generous and fair, 0.94

00:12:36.960 you just have nonsense. 0.66

00:12:39.280 I mean, your system 0.99

00:12:40.500 just looks like nonsense. 0.94

00:12:41.420 All right.

00:12:45.120 So that's happened.

00:12:46.640 I would think the 60,000

00:12:48.420 immigrants coming our way 0.99

00:12:49.880 largely guarantees

00:12:51.640 Republican victories.

00:12:53.280 So, you know,

00:12:56.740 you might not like

00:12:57.780 60,000 Haitian refugees

00:12:59.700 coming across your border

00:13:01.060 illegally,

00:13:02.400 but if you're a Republican,

00:13:04.420 you probably like the fact

00:13:05.600 that it guarantees

00:13:06.320 a Republican win.

00:13:07.620 I mean, I don't see

00:13:08.240 how the Republicans

00:13:08.980 could lose at this point.

00:13:11.020 I mean,

00:13:11.460 I could be wrong, right?

00:13:13.520 I don't like to speak

00:13:14.440 in certainties,

00:13:15.560 but in terms of

00:13:16.420 where it's heading,

00:13:17.560 it looks like it's heading

00:13:18.520 toward a,

00:13:19.660 you know,

00:13:20.560 just a blowout.

00:13:23.020 We'll see.

00:13:23.940 Yeah, and in the comments,

00:13:25.120 I'm seeing that the mail-in

00:13:26.020 voting might negate

00:13:27.340 that effect,

00:13:28.480 possibly.

00:13:29.920 Well,

00:13:30.760 I need some confirmation

00:13:32.500 to whether this is true,

00:13:33.460 but I saw a video,

00:13:34.420 Mark Schneider was

00:13:35.240 tweeting it,

00:13:36.940 that showed Trump supporters

00:13:38.280 and Black Lives Matter

00:13:39.660 people marching together

00:13:41.000 against vaccine mandates

00:13:43.940 in New York City.

00:13:44.640 I'm a little questioning

00:13:48.580 whether the video is real.

00:13:52.040 I see some people

00:13:53.120 saying it's true.

00:13:54.560 I think I'm a little bit

00:13:55.680 skeptical

00:13:56.100 because it didn't have

00:13:57.440 like a source on it

00:13:59.600 that I saw.

00:14:02.460 Yeah, well,

00:14:03.600 if that happens,

00:14:04.660 maybe it's the beginning

00:14:05.560 of the black public

00:14:07.800 wanting to actually win

00:14:09.520 for a change.

00:14:11.820 Let me speak

00:14:12.640 to the black public

00:14:13.700 directly for a moment.

00:14:15.860 I know there are

00:14:16.400 a number of black Americans

00:14:18.440 who are watching this.

00:14:20.800 And

00:14:21.200 wouldn't you like to win?

00:14:25.080 Wouldn't you like to get

00:14:26.000 everything you want?

00:14:27.880 Because you know

00:14:28.520 you can have it.

00:14:29.320 It's like right there for you.

00:14:31.180 Just work with the Republicans.

00:14:33.640 Just do it honestly.

00:14:35.580 You know,

00:14:35.800 I mean,

00:14:36.020 it's hard to do, right?

00:14:37.960 Historically,

00:14:38.580 you got some tension there.

00:14:40.100 But if you think

00:14:41.440 the Republicans

00:14:42.000 don't want to work

00:14:42.920 with Black Lives Matter,

00:14:43.980 you're so wrong.

00:14:45.740 They just want to work

00:14:46.480 on the things

00:14:47.040 that you have

00:14:47.600 common interest in.

00:14:48.940 One of the common interests

00:14:50.080 is better schools,

00:14:51.260 you know,

00:14:51.420 get rid of the teachers' unions.

00:14:53.980 But there are others.

00:14:55.680 There are others. 0.85

00:14:56.500 If the black Americans 0.99

00:14:58.340 want to win, 0.99

00:14:59.760 just join the team

00:15:00.780 that can help you.

00:15:02.200 You think the Republicans

00:15:03.120 don't want that?

00:15:04.140 They do want that.

00:15:05.660 They do want to do something

00:15:06.800 that's really useful

00:15:07.680 to the black community

00:15:08.740 because it helps them.

00:15:10.620 It's good for getting elected.

00:15:12.080 Why wouldn't they like that?

00:15:13.340 They also like Americans.

00:15:15.740 Surprise.

00:15:16.840 Surprise.

00:15:17.440 Republicans like Americans.

00:15:19.960 And if Americans,

00:15:21.420 you know,

00:15:21.980 happen to be,

00:15:22.760 you know,

00:15:23.060 God-fearing,

00:15:23.820 well,

00:15:24.040 that's a bonus.

00:15:25.580 And if they happen

00:15:26.760 to respect the Constitution

00:15:29.280 and think that

00:15:30.820 working for a living

00:15:31.740 is a good idea,

00:15:33.380 you're all good.

00:15:35.080 You're all good.

00:15:37.000 Right? 0.95

00:15:37.260 If you're black, 1.00

00:15:40.980 you would be amazed 0.99

00:15:42.060 how little your color

00:15:43.460 matters to a Republican.

00:15:45.220 You really would.

00:15:46.480 Now,

00:15:46.680 does it matter

00:15:47.220 in a social way?

00:15:48.600 Is it, you know,

00:15:49.160 on the front of their mind?

00:15:50.380 Yeah, probably.

00:15:51.340 Because we're all conscious

00:15:52.960 of racial stuff.

00:15:54.740 But in terms of decisions

00:15:56.140 and choices they make

00:15:57.540 and hiring decisions

00:15:58.500 and anything else,

00:15:59.940 policy,

00:16:01.560 yeah,

00:16:02.440 they care that you're

00:16:03.660 an American.

00:16:04.280 They care that you,

00:16:05.420 you know,

00:16:05.880 love the Constitution,

00:16:07.460 love the country.

00:16:08.720 If you do all that stuff,

00:16:09.740 you're good

00:16:10.180 with the Republicans

00:16:10.940 every time.

00:16:13.060 Monica Lewinsky

00:16:13.960 has some new controversy.

00:16:16.600 Turns out there's a woman 1.00

00:16:17.760 who claims that

00:16:18.540 Monica Lewinsky

00:16:19.300 slept with her husband 0.85

00:16:21.100 before she even slept

00:16:22.840 with Clinton.

00:16:25.400 And now,

00:16:26.160 I have a question for you.

00:16:28.180 If this is true,

00:16:31.120 and it sounds credible,

00:16:32.960 you know,

00:16:33.140 you have to be skeptical

00:16:33.980 of anything these days,

00:16:35.160 but it sounds credible.

00:16:37.140 If she, in fact,

00:16:39.220 ruined two marriages

00:16:40.960 by sleeping with

00:16:42.020 two different husbands,

00:16:44.660 shouldn't the story be

00:16:45.900 about what a piece 1.00

00:16:46.720 of shit she is? 1.00

00:16:48.740 Like, 1.00

00:16:49.040 why are we treating her 0.97

00:16:49.860 as the victim?

00:16:51.720 Is that sexist?

00:16:53.820 You know,

00:16:54.060 I get that there's

00:16:54.780 a gigantic,

00:16:55.940 like,

00:16:56.600 power differential,

00:16:57.680 because, you know,

00:16:58.820 especially with the president.

00:16:59.940 But apparently,

00:17:01.720 this other husband

00:17:03.080 that she was sleeping with

00:17:04.260 wasn't the president.

00:17:06.040 So it wasn't just that.

00:17:08.820 Monica appears to 1.00

00:17:10.300 not be too concerned

00:17:11.440 about breaking up marriages.

00:17:13.560 I think we have to reassess

00:17:15.100 what we think of

00:17:16.780 Monica Lewinsky. 1.00

00:17:18.280 You know,

00:17:18.420 is she,

00:17:19.100 and by the way,

00:17:19.520 I like her.

00:17:20.880 I like Monica Lewinsky. 1.00

00:17:22.360 I, you know,

00:17:22.780 follow her on Twitter

00:17:23.840 and stuff.

00:17:24.540 I think she's

00:17:25.060 a wonderful personality.

00:17:26.580 And I do think

00:17:28.160 that, you know,

00:17:28.680 she was young

00:17:29.300 and she got herself

00:17:30.000 in some bad situation.

00:17:31.960 But,

00:17:32.560 I don't think

00:17:34.240 you could give her

00:17:34.940 a pass

00:17:35.500 for breaking up

00:17:36.200 two marriages

00:17:36.780 or, you know,

00:17:38.180 ruining them,

00:17:38.800 essentially,

00:17:39.240 because they're never

00:17:39.660 the same after that.

00:17:43.480 I don't know.

00:17:44.600 I feel like

00:17:45.640 we should judge her

00:17:46.580 more harshly

00:17:47.560 and not see her

00:17:49.560 as the victim exactly.

00:17:51.260 She's a little bit

00:17:51.940 of a victim.

00:17:52.600 I give you that.

00:17:53.860 Because the power

00:17:54.480 differential,

00:17:55.100 that's real.

00:17:56.240 But,

00:17:56.600 she was also 0.66

00:17:58.300 an adult.

00:17:59.960 She was also 0.66

00:18:00.880 an adult.

00:18:02.240 She had a little bit

00:18:02.920 of responsibility there

00:18:03.980 and I don't think

00:18:04.460 she did it.

00:18:06.240 All right.

00:18:07.360 Some cool housing

00:18:09.040 options that are

00:18:10.460 coming online.

00:18:11.100 I think you're going

00:18:11.580 to see a whole bunch

00:18:12.160 more of this.

00:18:12.740 I've mentioned

00:18:13.120 these before,

00:18:13.840 but they're growing,

00:18:15.440 so it's more

00:18:15.840 of a thing.

00:18:16.980 So in Denver,

00:18:17.960 there are 455 units

00:18:19.800 of co-living space.

00:18:21.640 So basically,

00:18:22.520 they're taking

00:18:22.940 the college dorm model

00:18:24.900 and just improving

00:18:26.560 it so it's not

00:18:27.760 as basic

00:18:28.800 as a college dorm,

00:18:30.160 but it gives you

00:18:30.720 the advantages

00:18:31.480 of the social life.

00:18:33.080 You're surrounded

00:18:33.640 by people

00:18:34.220 in similar situations

00:18:35.420 and you might

00:18:36.480 have a roommate,

00:18:37.680 but you've got

00:18:38.060 common facilities

00:18:39.040 where you'll meet

00:18:39.780 each other,

00:18:40.360 et cetera.

00:18:40.660 I feel like housing

00:18:43.240 needs to solve

00:18:44.160 two problems,

00:18:45.120 not one.

00:18:46.620 And housing,

00:18:47.800 historically,

00:18:49.040 housing has solved

00:18:49.700 one problem.

00:18:51.400 Housing.

00:18:52.560 Right?

00:18:52.940 The only problem

00:18:53.760 that housing ever solved

00:18:55.020 was you've got

00:18:56.140 a place to live.

00:18:58.060 But there's a second problem

00:18:59.560 and I want to see

00:19:00.680 in the comments

00:19:01.420 some confirmation.

00:19:03.800 Loneliness.

00:19:04.240 The ability

00:19:06.240 to just meet people

00:19:07.660 that you can

00:19:08.740 have a relationship

00:19:10.300 with as friends

00:19:11.620 and neighbors.

00:19:14.260 And I feel

00:19:15.660 as though

00:19:16.060 we need options

00:19:17.080 such that

00:19:18.140 the housing

00:19:18.740 solves your social life

00:19:20.020 at the same time,

00:19:21.620 at least gives you

00:19:22.580 social interaction

00:19:23.560 in a natural way,

00:19:24.840 and solves that

00:19:25.900 at the same time

00:19:26.560 as it solves housing.

00:19:27.540 There's no reason

00:19:28.140 it couldn't.

00:19:29.420 In fact,

00:19:29.840 it should.

00:19:30.900 I would argue

00:19:31.460 it's the biggest problem.

00:19:32.580 Now,

00:19:33.600 when people

00:19:34.500 were universally

00:19:35.480 or seemingly

00:19:36.760 universally getting married

00:19:37.860 and having families,

00:19:39.380 much less important

00:19:40.480 because your family

00:19:42.000 is that social thing

00:19:44.040 and then the kids

00:19:44.700 have friends

00:19:45.240 and then the parents

00:19:46.260 of the kids

00:19:46.700 become your friends

00:19:47.980 and everything.

00:19:48.420 So if you have a family,

00:19:49.280 you're already

00:19:49.600 in good shape,

00:19:50.740 probably,

00:19:51.700 because you meet people

00:19:52.480 just automatically

00:19:53.380 having a family.

00:19:54.960 But for the single people,

00:19:56.320 of which there are

00:19:56.900 more and more of them,

00:19:58.540 they're going to need

00:19:59.360 something that isn't Tinder

00:20:00.620 because Tinder

00:20:01.880 doesn't work

00:20:02.600 except for the top

00:20:03.540 2% of guys.

00:20:05.420 All the other guys

00:20:06.200 don't have a chance.

00:20:07.500 But if they're meeting people

00:20:08.460 in a natural setting,

00:20:09.840 well,

00:20:10.040 they have a chance too.

00:20:11.760 So this is a big deal

00:20:14.420 that I think will just

00:20:16.480 get bigger and bigger.

00:20:17.960 And then there's

00:20:18.500 an intergenerational

00:20:19.760 housing option

00:20:20.460 in which I think

00:20:21.720 the deal is

00:20:22.440 that they find

00:20:23.180 like a senior citizen 0.64

00:20:24.260 who might need

00:20:24.900 a little help

00:20:25.500 and they pair them

00:20:27.160 with a young person,

00:20:28.860 say a college student,

00:20:29.800 who just needs

00:20:31.320 a cheap place to stay

00:20:32.420 and it's actually

00:20:33.900 a good combination.

00:20:35.640 Making sure

00:20:36.220 that the old person 0.98

00:20:37.060 has somebody there

00:20:38.180 to call 911

00:20:39.020 or lift heavy objects

00:20:41.340 and the young person

00:20:43.420 gets a nice house

00:20:44.920 to live in

00:20:45.460 that would be better

00:20:46.460 than they could afford.

00:20:47.740 It's a pretty good deal.

00:20:49.200 We'll see more of that too.

00:20:50.840 Well,

00:20:51.100 there's another woman's 0.75

00:20:52.000 soccer coach

00:20:53.060 fired for sexual misbehavior,

00:20:56.300 allegedly.

00:20:58.680 Let me ask you this.

00:21:01.160 You've got a woman's team. 1.00

00:21:05.040 Let's say it's gymnastics.

00:21:06.640 Let's say it's volleyball.

00:21:08.400 Let's say it's women's soccer. 1.00

00:21:10.360 What kind of people

00:21:12.540 are going to be

00:21:13.260 on those teams?

00:21:15.020 Young females

00:21:16.800 who are in unusually

00:21:18.660 good physical shape.

00:21:21.440 Do you think you should

00:21:22.740 ever have a male coach

00:21:24.040 or a male doctor

00:21:25.100 in that situation?

00:21:27.160 I mean,

00:21:27.760 I'm not the Taliban,

00:21:29.720 right?

00:21:31.020 And I don't think

00:21:32.000 you should necessarily

00:21:33.000 limit people's employment

00:21:34.380 by their gender.

00:21:36.020 That's a problem.

00:21:38.700 Yeah,

00:21:39.280 well,

00:21:39.480 some of them are lesbians,

00:21:40.440 but I don't think that

00:21:41.080 is,

00:21:42.100 that's not the biggest

00:21:42.960 variable here.

00:21:45.640 Here's my question.

00:21:47.400 You don't want

00:21:48.060 to be the Taliban, 0.72

00:21:49.900 but why the hell

00:21:51.080 do you think

00:21:51.520 it's a good idea

00:21:52.400 to put a normal

00:21:53.560 heterosexual male 0.56

00:21:54.900 in a situation

00:21:56.440 where all day long

00:21:57.660 he deals with

00:21:58.640 attractive young women? 1.00

00:22:02.100 There's no way

00:22:03.060 in the world

00:22:03.540 this doesn't get you

00:22:04.440 in trouble.

00:22:05.680 But again,

00:22:06.220 you know,

00:22:06.400 you don't want to be

00:22:06.900 the Taliban

00:22:07.420 and say,

00:22:07.920 oh,

00:22:08.160 we can't have the

00:22:08.700 genders mixing 0.51

00:22:10.100 or anything,

00:22:10.440 but this is crazy.

00:22:12.520 It's crazy

00:22:13.440 to have men

00:22:14.100 in these positions.

00:22:15.460 Am I wrong?

00:22:16.900 Maybe there's

00:22:17.820 a legal reason

00:22:18.700 where you just

00:22:19.140 have to do it

00:22:19.860 because you

00:22:20.220 can't discriminate 0.99

00:22:20.900 or something.

00:22:21.780 And I realize

00:22:22.380 that,

00:22:22.720 you know,

00:22:23.000 women are 1.00

00:22:23.760 coaching male

00:22:24.540 teams now,

00:22:25.420 but that's

00:22:26.180 different,

00:22:26.900 right?

00:22:27.600 Isn't that

00:22:28.240 different?

00:22:29.040 Because you

00:22:29.560 don't have

00:22:29.820 the power

00:22:30.440 imbalance problem.

00:22:32.800 I say,

00:22:33.440 yes,

00:22:33.740 you're wrong,

00:22:34.400 a little wrong.

00:22:35.900 I would

00:22:36.500 acknowledge

00:22:36.900 I'm a little

00:22:37.400 wrong because

00:22:38.660 there's no

00:22:39.160 clean right

00:22:40.160 answer,

00:22:40.560 right?

00:22:41.020 You don't

00:22:41.500 want to limit

00:22:42.000 people's employment

00:22:42.900 by gender.

00:22:44.060 That's true.

00:22:45.400 But you don't

00:22:45.940 want to create

00:22:46.400 a situation

00:22:46.980 where you're

00:22:47.620 guaranteeing

00:22:48.400 sexual harassment.

00:22:50.140 I mean,

00:22:50.300 you're talking

00:22:50.600 about guaranteeing

00:22:51.720 it,

00:22:51.900 really.

00:22:53.700 All right.

00:22:55.020 Well,

00:22:56.120 I'd look into

00:22:57.220 that.

00:22:59.680 Here's a feel-good

00:23:00.660 story.

00:23:01.600 There were some

00:23:02.100 burglars who 0.98

00:23:02.760 broke into a

00:23:03.720 home in

00:23:04.240 Cowita County

00:23:05.080 in Georgia.

00:23:06.760 And the

00:23:07.720 owner's dogs

00:23:08.640 killed him,

00:23:10.360 killed the 1.00

00:23:10.760 burglar.

00:23:11.300 He was found

00:23:11.860 dead on the

00:23:12.600 porch.

00:23:15.360 I have no

00:23:16.220 comment on it.

00:23:16.780 It was just

00:23:17.100 sort of a feel-good

00:23:18.380 story.

00:23:19.400 I love dogs.

00:23:21.360 Well,

00:23:21.620 Dr. Anarchy

00:23:22.360 over on Twitter,

00:23:23.540 that's not his

00:23:24.320 real name,

00:23:25.020 but Dr. Anarchy,

00:23:26.000 who does not

00:23:26.920 wish you to

00:23:27.440 know his real

00:23:28.020 identity,

00:23:29.320 reports that

00:23:29.940 the ICU at

00:23:30.920 his hospital

00:23:31.660 in Florida

00:23:32.460 is 100%

00:23:33.340 capacity.

00:23:34.340 They have

00:23:34.660 no beds

00:23:35.300 left.

00:23:38.540 Is that a

00:23:39.220 big problem

00:23:39.680 or a small

00:23:40.220 problem?

00:23:40.640 Well,

00:23:41.260 let me give

00:23:41.680 you some

00:23:41.960 context before

00:23:42.900 you say it

00:23:43.360 in the comments.

00:23:44.640 I know,

00:23:45.200 I know,

00:23:45.560 I'm going to

00:23:45.880 give you the

00:23:46.240 context.

00:23:47.100 Don't worry.

00:23:48.380 The context

00:23:49.060 is this.

00:23:49.960 All ICUs

00:23:50.740 try to

00:23:51.300 operate near

00:23:52.140 capacity.

00:23:53.940 All ICUs

00:23:55.360 try to

00:23:56.760 operate pretty

00:23:57.420 close to

00:23:57.820 capacity,

00:23:58.560 because they

00:23:59.000 make money

00:23:59.480 on the

00:23:59.760 ICUs.

00:24:00.900 So they're

00:24:01.940 always 90%

00:24:03.580 full.

00:24:04.660 So all you

00:24:05.340 need is any

00:24:05.900 kind of a

00:24:06.540 mass casualty

00:24:07.760 event,

00:24:08.620 and that extra

00:24:09.300 10% gets

00:24:10.120 filled.

00:24:10.360 So COVID

00:24:11.600 should be

00:24:12.960 expected,

00:24:14.400 given all the

00:24:15.760 different hospitals

00:24:16.500 in the

00:24:16.780 country,

00:24:17.180 and the

00:24:17.360 fact that

00:24:17.760 statistics are

00:24:18.600 not smooth,

00:24:20.400 there are

00:24:21.000 lumps of

00:24:21.780 everything in

00:24:23.340 statistics.

00:24:24.140 There are

00:24:24.360 statistical

00:24:24.900 clusters.

00:24:26.580 So you

00:24:27.000 are guaranteed

00:24:27.680 that even

00:24:29.160 if COVID

00:24:29.720 isn't crashing

00:24:30.620 hospitals in

00:24:31.520 general,

00:24:32.600 you are

00:24:32.980 guaranteed

00:24:33.620 there will

00:24:34.100 be specific

00:24:34.800 hospitals that

00:24:35.560 do reach

00:24:36.580 capacity.

00:24:37.820 Is that a

00:24:38.540 problem?

00:24:38.780 Well,

00:24:40.320 in this

00:24:41.260 particular

00:24:41.620 hospital,

00:24:42.220 the additional

00:24:42.860 context is that

00:24:44.080 only 10% of

00:24:45.320 the ICU

00:24:45.960 has COVID

00:24:47.140 patients.

00:24:48.620 So 90% of

00:24:49.660 the ICU is

00:24:50.280 just the

00:24:50.600 regular patients.

00:24:51.720 They only

00:24:52.240 had 10%

00:24:53.300 capacity,

00:24:54.180 you know,

00:24:54.480 roughly,

00:24:55.280 10% extra

00:24:56.460 anyway,

00:24:57.140 because that's

00:24:57.460 what they

00:24:57.700 always have,

00:24:58.760 and this

00:24:59.420 particular

00:24:59.820 hospital filled

00:25:00.660 it up.

00:25:01.720 Does that

00:25:02.040 mean they

00:25:02.380 can't have

00:25:02.780 another ICU

00:25:04.180 person?

00:25:05.340 Nope.

00:25:06.400 They just

00:25:06.780 expand it.

00:25:08.100 They just

00:25:08.720 add beds.

00:25:10.100 So no,

00:25:10.600 they are not

00:25:11.640 turning anybody

00:25:12.260 away,

00:25:12.680 because they

00:25:13.920 know how

00:25:14.440 to expand

00:25:15.160 and contract

00:25:15.860 that capacity.

00:25:17.040 But their

00:25:17.320 official ICU

00:25:18.080 capacity is

00:25:18.780 at capacity.

00:25:20.440 Official ICU

00:25:21.440 resources are

00:25:22.160 at capacity.

00:25:23.700 But it

00:25:24.280 doesn't mean

00:25:24.600 as much

00:25:24.920 as you

00:25:25.160 think.

00:25:26.180 So probably

00:25:27.340 it's not

00:25:27.940 the problem

00:25:28.740 that it

00:25:29.480 sounds like

00:25:30.000 when you

00:25:30.200 first hear

00:25:30.660 it,

00:25:30.860 but it's,

00:25:32.140 you know,

00:25:32.340 we should

00:25:32.600 know about

00:25:32.960 it.

00:25:35.280 In other

00:25:36.200 interesting

00:25:38.100 celebrity

00:25:38.640 news,

00:25:39.460 do you

00:25:39.600 know

00:25:39.960 Sank,

00:25:41.680 is it

00:25:42.120 Iger? 0.87

00:25:43.080 Iger? 0.87

00:25:43.640 I don't

00:25:43.880 know how

00:25:44.140 exactly

00:25:44.500 to pronounce

00:25:44.920 his last

00:25:45.340 name.

00:25:45.920 But you

00:25:46.140 probably

00:25:46.360 know Sank.

00:25:47.100 He's got

00:25:47.460 a show,

00:25:48.440 the Young

00:25:48.820 Turks. 0.82

00:25:50.520 He identifies

00:25:52.040 with the

00:25:52.520 left.

00:25:53.560 And he,

00:25:54.240 I guess he

00:25:54.580 went after

00:25:54.880 Joe Rogan

00:25:55.540 on the

00:25:55.880 vaccination

00:25:56.220 question.

00:25:57.580 And somebody

00:25:58.260 dared him to

00:25:59.340 say this to

00:26:00.080 Joe Rogan's

00:26:00.800 face.

00:26:02.400 And then

00:26:03.060 that turned

00:26:03.560 into Sank

00:26:05.060 saying in

00:26:06.020 public,

00:26:06.480 at least on

00:26:06.860 Twitter,

00:26:07.860 Sank

00:26:08.220 believes that

00:26:08.800 he could

00:26:09.320 beat Joe

00:26:10.120 Rogan in a

00:26:10.760 fight if

00:26:11.680 it came

00:26:11.980 to that.

00:26:14.420 Now,

00:26:15.600 take a

00:26:16.020 look at

00:26:16.540 Sank

00:26:17.020 Euger. 0.52

00:26:20.060 And I

00:26:20.660 apologize if

00:26:21.300 I'm pronouncing

00:26:22.000 his name

00:26:22.320 right.

00:26:22.500 I never do

00:26:22.920 that intentionally

00:26:23.560 by the way.

00:26:24.240 I would

00:26:24.440 never intentionally

00:26:25.700 disrespect

00:26:26.320 somebody by

00:26:27.100 pronouncing

00:26:27.720 their name

00:26:28.100 wrong.

00:26:29.600 But there

00:26:30.380 it is.

00:26:30.800 I probably

00:26:31.140 did.

00:26:32.360 And is

00:26:34.740 there anybody

00:26:35.240 here who

00:26:35.820 thinks that

00:26:36.420 Sank could

00:26:37.300 beat Joe

00:26:37.880 Rogan in a

00:26:38.720 fight?

00:26:40.360 Sank says

00:26:41.020 he's a big

00:26:41.480 guy and

00:26:41.880 he's been

00:26:42.160 fighting all

00:26:44.100 his life,

00:26:45.020 so he knows

00:26:45.540 how to

00:26:45.800 fight.

00:26:46.800 But he's

00:26:47.020 not exactly

00:26:47.660 trained in

00:26:49.000 the martial

00:26:49.340 arts as

00:26:49.900 far as we

00:26:50.260 know.

00:26:52.460 So,

00:26:53.260 first of

00:26:53.720 all,

00:26:54.120 Joe Rogan

00:26:54.540 would never

00:26:55.000 fight him.

00:26:55.900 I don't

00:26:56.300 think there's

00:26:56.680 any chance

00:26:57.060 that would

00:26:57.320 happen.

00:26:58.160 But,

00:26:58.560 yeah,

00:26:59.160 Joe Rogan

00:26:59.580 is highly

00:27:00.660 trained and

00:27:03.300 ripped.

00:27:04.520 He could

00:27:05.360 lift a

00:27:05.760 school bus

00:27:06.380 and he

00:27:09.820 could tear

00:27:10.280 a person

00:27:10.640 apart with

00:27:11.260 one hand.

00:27:13.320 But Sank

00:27:13.760 thinks he

00:27:14.240 has a

00:27:14.540 chance.

00:27:15.340 Now,

00:27:15.600 it would

00:27:15.820 be easy

00:27:16.180 to dunk

00:27:17.100 on Sank

00:27:17.820 for this

00:27:18.660 opinion that

00:27:19.280 seems crazy

00:27:19.940 to the rest

00:27:20.460 of us,

00:27:21.080 but I'm

00:27:21.520 not going

00:27:21.820 to do

00:27:22.040 that.

00:27:23.480 I'm

00:27:23.840 going to

00:27:24.840 give you

00:27:25.280 a surprise

00:27:26.440 twist.

00:27:28.600 I actually

00:27:29.360 like the

00:27:29.940 fact that

00:27:31.200 Sank said

00:27:32.020 in public,

00:27:33.120 he thinks

00:27:33.460 he could

00:27:33.740 take Joe

00:27:34.180 Rogan.

00:27:34.540 the reason

00:27:35.780 I like

00:27:36.160 him,

00:27:36.340 not because

00:27:36.720 it's true,

00:27:37.800 I mean,

00:27:38.000 I think

00:27:38.260 it's silly,

00:27:39.420 you know, 0.99

00:27:39.880 just ridiculous, 0.92

00:27:41.860 but I love 0.94

00:27:42.700 the fact

00:27:42.980 that he

00:27:43.160 said it

00:27:43.580 because,

00:27:44.720 you know,

00:27:44.960 if Trump

00:27:45.600 had said

00:27:45.960 something like

00:27:46.480 this and

00:27:46.840 brought a

00:27:47.160 lot of

00:27:47.380 attention

00:27:47.720 to himself,

00:27:48.560 I would

00:27:49.220 have been

00:27:49.560 praising him

00:27:50.140 because part

00:27:51.480 of his job

00:27:51.940 is bringing

00:27:52.320 attention,

00:27:53.140 right?

00:27:53.440 And if it

00:27:53.940 worked,

00:27:54.280 hey,

00:27:54.440 it worked.

00:27:55.580 Sank's job 0.99

00:27:56.220 is like that

00:27:56.700 too.

00:27:57.400 Part of

00:27:57.740 his job

00:27:58.200 is marketing

00:27:58.740 his own

00:27:59.300 product,

00:28:00.000 and if he

00:28:00.540 got us

00:28:00.920 all to

00:28:01.220 look at

00:28:01.540 this and

00:28:02.260 nobody got

00:28:02.800 punched,

00:28:03.180 home run,

00:28:05.020 home run.

00:28:06.280 So I'm

00:28:06.640 going to

00:28:06.800 give Sank 0.76

00:28:07.240 an A-plus

00:28:07.840 for marketing.

00:28:10.040 I don't

00:28:10.620 know how

00:28:10.880 well he

00:28:11.240 fights,

00:28:12.520 but he's

00:28:12.920 a marketing 0.98

00:28:13.420 mofo. 0.74

00:28:14.980 This is

00:28:15.460 really good.

00:28:16.500 Good job,

00:28:17.220 Sank.

00:28:17.940 Nice

00:28:18.240 marketing.

00:28:19.760 But don't

00:28:20.660 take a

00:28:20.980 punch.

00:28:21.880 Don't

00:28:22.240 throw a

00:28:22.540 punch at 0.97

00:28:22.860 Joe

00:28:23.040 Biden.

00:28:24.420 I'm

00:28:24.820 sorry,

00:28:25.100 at Joe

00:28:25.340 Rogan.

00:28:26.260 Don't

00:28:26.700 punch Joe

00:28:27.120 Biden

00:28:27.380 either.

00:28:27.920 But don't

00:28:28.220 punch Joe

00:28:29.100 Rogan.

00:28:29.480 I don't

00:28:29.660 think that'll

00:28:30.060 work out

00:28:30.360 for you.

00:28:31.900 Alex Jones

00:28:32.760 lost a

00:28:34.160 big legal

00:28:35.900 case, it

00:28:36.440 looks like.

00:28:36.900 So the

00:28:37.180 Sandy Hook

00:28:37.680 thing, you

00:28:38.220 all know,

00:28:38.740 he believed

00:28:40.040 the Sandy

00:28:40.680 Hook school

00:28:41.740 shooting.

00:28:42.600 At one

00:28:42.880 point he

00:28:43.240 made a

00:28:43.560 claim that

00:28:44.140 maybe they

00:28:44.780 were actors

00:28:45.320 or something

00:28:45.920 and that it

00:28:47.720 didn't really

00:28:48.060 happen.

00:28:48.700 Well, he

00:28:49.180 got sued

00:28:49.720 and apparently

00:28:51.600 it's going to

00:28:52.580 cost him a

00:28:53.360 lot of money

00:28:53.800 if this

00:28:54.160 stands.

00:28:55.540 And he

00:28:56.180 was found

00:28:56.480 legally

00:28:56.840 responsible in

00:28:57.580 two lawsuits

00:28:58.160 for damages

00:28:59.160 caused by his

00:29:00.560 claims, to

00:29:01.640 which I

00:29:02.000 ask, what

00:29:03.140 exactly were

00:29:03.820 the damages?

00:29:05.760 Was it

00:29:06.240 that the

00:29:06.800 parents and

00:29:08.440 the survivors

00:29:09.200 got a lot

00:29:10.160 of grief from

00:29:11.100 other people?

00:29:12.020 Was that

00:29:12.340 what it is?

00:29:12.900 Was that

00:29:13.180 the damages?

00:29:14.420 Or was it

00:29:15.020 emotional damage?

00:29:17.520 I have

00:29:18.260 mixed feelings

00:29:18.980 about this.

00:29:20.360 On one

00:29:20.840 hand, people

00:29:21.800 do need legal

00:29:22.880 recourse when

00:29:23.680 people say

00:29:24.240 crazy things

00:29:25.100 that affect

00:29:25.780 them in

00:29:26.100 public.

00:29:26.920 You probably

00:29:27.380 need some

00:29:27.760 kind of

00:29:28.040 legal option

00:29:30.280 there, but

00:29:31.620 this feels

00:29:32.600 like a

00:29:33.000 violation of

00:29:33.720 free speech.

00:29:35.580 If we

00:29:36.400 accept that

00:29:37.500 Alex Jones

00:29:39.240 was wrong,

00:29:41.300 wasn't it

00:29:41.860 also an

00:29:42.420 opinion?

00:29:43.300 He's not

00:29:43.860 exactly a

00:29:44.480 news source,

00:29:45.840 is he?

00:29:46.580 Isn't he an

00:29:47.240 opinion person?

00:29:48.360 And if it

00:29:48.920 was his

00:29:49.320 opinion,

00:29:50.220 looking at

00:29:50.720 the facts,

00:29:51.860 that this

00:29:52.300 looked like

00:29:52.800 a hoax,

00:29:54.380 but he

00:29:54.780 was terribly,

00:29:55.600 terribly wrong,

00:29:57.240 did he get

00:29:57.640 sued for

00:29:58.120 being wrong?

00:29:58.660 How do

00:30:00.920 you lose

00:30:01.300 a case

00:30:01.680 just because

00:30:02.220 you were

00:30:02.500 wrong?

00:30:04.180 And by

00:30:04.560 the way,

00:30:04.840 he's admitted

00:30:05.280 he was

00:30:05.580 wrong.

00:30:06.040 Later he

00:30:06.620 admitted.

00:30:07.760 So if

00:30:08.120 you've even

00:30:08.520 admitted you

00:30:09.140 were wrong,

00:30:10.700 how do you

00:30:11.140 lose that

00:30:11.760 case?

00:30:12.640 I don't

00:30:12.900 know if I

00:30:13.220 want to

00:30:13.460 live in

00:30:13.700 this country

00:30:14.400 where you

00:30:15.040 can lose

00:30:15.580 on an

00:30:16.040 opinion

00:30:16.500 because

00:30:17.200 somebody

00:30:17.520 was injured

00:30:18.160 by your

00:30:18.620 opinion.

00:30:20.920 That's like

00:30:21.580 a standard

00:30:22.220 I don't

00:30:22.580 know if we

00:30:23.020 want to

00:30:23.400 keep.

00:30:25.020 So

00:30:25.340 it's a

00:30:26.700 big old

00:30:27.020 red flag

00:30:27.700 on freedom

00:30:28.880 of speech,

00:30:29.460 I'd say.

00:30:30.680 Well,

00:30:31.160 if you

00:30:31.320 haven't seen

00:30:31.780 the video

00:30:32.420 going around

00:30:32.940 today of

00:30:33.420 Rand Paul

00:30:34.240 talking to

00:30:36.340 HHS head

00:30:37.920 Xavier

00:30:38.720 Basara,

00:30:40.780 or is

00:30:41.160 the C

00:30:41.560 hard?

00:30:42.840 Is it

00:30:43.200 a hard

00:30:43.540 C,

00:30:43.900 Bacara,

00:30:44.560 or is

00:30:44.720 it Basara?

00:30:46.660 Somebody

00:30:47.100 tell me the

00:30:47.620 pronunciation

00:30:48.080 of that.

00:30:48.780 Bacara

00:30:49.300 or Basara?

00:30:52.040 Anybody?

00:30:52.760 Anybody?

00:30:53.620 All right,

00:30:53.960 somebody will

00:30:54.300 tell me.

00:30:55.000 Basara,

00:30:55.580 I'm hearing.

00:30:56.680 Seems right.

00:30:57.200 I'm going

00:30:57.740 to go

00:30:57.900 with

00:30:58.040 Basara.

00:31:00.200 So

00:31:00.560 Rand Paul

00:31:01.100 is talking

00:31:01.560 to him

00:31:01.860 about

00:31:02.100 apparently

00:31:02.460 health

00:31:03.180 and

00:31:03.300 human

00:31:03.520 services

00:31:04.280 is part

00:31:06.480 of the

00:31:06.700 government

00:31:07.020 that says

00:31:08.340 you need

00:31:09.240 a vaccination

00:31:09.820 as opposed

00:31:10.540 to proving

00:31:11.240 that you

00:31:11.680 have antibodies

00:31:12.320 because you

00:31:12.780 got infected

00:31:13.300 already.

00:31:14.520 Now,

00:31:14.700 as you

00:31:14.920 know,

00:31:15.080 Rand Paul

00:31:15.420 has had

00:31:16.040 COVID and

00:31:17.060 he says

00:31:17.560 his antibodies

00:31:18.240 are better

00:31:18.820 than people

00:31:19.400 who are

00:31:19.600 vaccinated.

00:31:20.720 And

00:31:20.780 apparently

00:31:21.060 there's

00:31:21.400 a large

00:31:21.940 study he

00:31:22.440 referenced

00:31:22.840 that would

00:31:23.400 agree.

00:31:23.640 and

00:31:25.200 you

00:31:28.220 have to

00:31:28.700 watch

00:31:29.320 Rand Paul

00:31:30.940 dissect

00:31:31.760 this guy

00:31:32.300 on live

00:31:32.820 TV.

00:31:34.120 It is

00:31:35.120 one of

00:31:37.320 the best

00:31:37.920 live

00:31:39.440 performances,

00:31:40.480 if I can

00:31:40.840 call it

00:31:41.200 that,

00:31:41.940 that you'll

00:31:42.400 ever see.

00:31:43.680 Now,

00:31:44.160 here's what

00:31:44.520 makes it

00:31:44.920 brutal.

00:31:46.260 Not only

00:31:47.060 is Rand Paul,

00:31:48.560 he has

00:31:48.880 medical

00:31:49.320 credentials,

00:31:49.900 but the

00:31:52.060 guy who's

00:31:52.340 talking to

00:31:52.780 doesn't.

00:31:53.340 I guess he's

00:31:53.760 a lawyer

00:31:54.160 or something

00:31:54.640 by training.

00:31:56.020 So,

00:31:56.340 first of all,

00:31:56.820 Rand Paul

00:31:57.200 is,

00:31:59.600 he's not,

00:32:02.260 here's the

00:32:03.140 best way

00:32:03.460 to say it.

00:32:04.740 Rand Paul

00:32:05.460 seemed to

00:32:06.060 have taken

00:32:06.460 his presentation

00:32:07.400 instead of

00:32:08.180 raising his

00:32:08.980 energy to

00:32:10.080 really press

00:32:10.860 his point

00:32:11.340 and get

00:32:13.080 mad at

00:32:13.520 this guy,

00:32:14.420 he went

00:32:14.900 the other

00:32:15.320 way.

00:32:16.580 That you

00:32:17.280 can only

00:32:18.100 do if

00:32:19.660 your

00:32:19.900 argument

00:32:20.340 is so 0.99

00:32:21.080 damn 0.93

00:32:21.500 good 0.99

00:32:21.980 that you

00:32:23.200 don't even

00:32:23.780 need to

00:32:24.140 alter your

00:32:24.580 presentation

00:32:25.080 to help

00:32:25.780 it.

00:32:26.980 And that

00:32:27.220 is so

00:32:28.000 strong.

00:32:28.840 Persuasion

00:32:29.320 wise,

00:32:30.160 if your

00:32:30.760 case is

00:32:31.300 this strong

00:32:31.900 and you

00:32:32.660 lower your

00:32:33.380 energy,

00:32:34.240 it's

00:32:34.760 devastating.

00:32:36.660 So,

00:32:37.040 watch Rand

00:32:37.600 Paul lower

00:32:39.140 his energy

00:32:39.780 and just

00:32:40.900 dissect

00:32:42.300 this

00:32:42.620 guy.

00:32:45.260 He

00:32:45.820 dissects

00:32:46.480 him.

00:32:47.340 It is

00:32:48.060 fun to

00:32:49.000 watch.

00:32:49.660 You

00:32:50.040 really

00:32:50.300 have

00:32:50.520 to

00:32:50.620 watch

00:32:50.900 it.

00:32:52.960 And so,

00:32:53.580 let me

00:32:53.720 say it

00:32:54.200 again.

00:32:54.700 I'll give

00:32:55.300 you,

00:32:55.780 maybe I'll

00:32:56.560 act it

00:32:56.960 out.

00:32:58.360 Had he

00:32:58.760 said

00:32:59.000 something

00:32:59.260 like,

00:32:59.880 are you

00:33:00.140 a medical

00:33:00.520 doctor?

00:33:01.260 Are you

00:33:01.600 a medical

00:33:01.920 doctor?

00:33:02.960 Are you?

00:33:04.260 And you

00:33:04.580 watch that,

00:33:05.460 you would

00:33:05.700 say to

00:33:05.920 yourself,

00:33:06.300 all right,

00:33:06.660 it's just

00:33:06.920 two people

00:33:07.320 fighting on

00:33:07.860 TV.

00:33:08.240 I've seen

00:33:08.500 a million

00:33:09.120 of this.

00:33:10.620 But instead,

00:33:12.320 Rand

00:33:12.580 Paul has

00:33:13.300 lowered his

00:33:15.000 energy way

00:33:15.700 down.

00:33:16.660 But because

00:33:17.200 he's the

00:33:17.580 only one

00:33:17.940 talking,

00:33:19.080 you know,

00:33:19.260 it's

00:33:19.460 televised,

00:33:20.340 he gets

00:33:20.880 all the

00:33:21.280 attention.

00:33:22.340 And the

00:33:22.680 lower he

00:33:23.180 goes,

00:33:24.620 the more

00:33:25.220 powerful it

00:33:26.200 is.

00:33:27.060 So you

00:33:27.380 just see him

00:33:27.920 sitting there

00:33:28.520 saying,

00:33:29.820 and do you

00:33:30.420 have a

00:33:30.780 medical degree?

00:33:31.860 Are you a

00:33:32.160 doctor?

00:33:33.440 No,

00:33:33.720 you're not a

00:33:34.060 doctor.

00:33:34.960 Do you have

00:33:35.320 a science

00:33:36.020 degree?

00:33:37.540 Well,

00:33:37.760 not a science

00:33:38.300 degree.

00:33:38.580 Are you aware

00:33:39.800 of the study

00:33:40.360 that says

00:33:41.600 that natural

00:33:42.640 immunity is

00:33:43.380 seven times

00:33:44.160 better than

00:33:45.600 the vaccination?

00:33:48.040 Or you've

00:33:48.360 not seen

00:33:48.720 that study?

00:33:49.520 I think you

00:33:50.200 should actually

00:33:50.660 refer to that

00:33:51.260 study.

00:33:51.760 Two,

00:33:52.040 two and a

00:33:52.300 half million

00:33:52.640 people were

00:33:53.100 studied.

00:33:54.500 You know,

00:33:54.840 I don't think

00:33:55.840 I'm doing a

00:33:56.360 good enough

00:33:56.800 job of it.

00:33:58.380 You have to

00:33:58.780 watch Rand

00:33:59.240 Paul pull

00:33:59.720 this off.

00:34:00.360 It is

00:34:00.660 masterful.

00:34:02.120 And it is

00:34:02.660 freaking

00:34:02.980 great.

00:34:04.260 So in

00:34:05.200 terms of

00:34:05.680 public

00:34:06.100 communication,

00:34:07.340 a double

00:34:08.020 plus for

00:34:09.580 Rand

00:34:09.880 Paul.

00:34:11.200 There's a

00:34:11.740 story in

00:34:12.160 Stephanie

00:34:12.540 Grisham's

00:34:13.320 book that

00:34:15.680 Trump was

00:34:16.780 asked about

00:34:17.260 going,

00:34:17.740 I don't know,

00:34:18.280 vegan or

00:34:18.840 vegetarian or

00:34:19.540 something.

00:34:20.220 And allegedly

00:34:20.780 Trump's swift

00:34:22.420 response was,

00:34:23.960 and he was

00:34:24.240 very serious

00:34:24.820 about it,

00:34:25.200 he said,

00:34:25.980 no,

00:34:26.220 no,

00:34:26.460 it messes

00:34:26.920 with your

00:34:27.240 body chemistry,

00:34:28.080 your brain.

00:34:29.120 And if I

00:34:29.560 lose even

00:34:30.680 one brain

00:34:31.360 cell,

00:34:32.120 we're effed.

00:34:34.240 If I

00:34:34.880 lose even

00:34:35.320 one brain

00:34:35.960 cell,

00:34:36.740 we're effed.

00:34:37.600 First of

00:34:38.180 all,

00:34:38.520 I love that

00:34:39.140 part of it.

00:34:39.600 I love

00:34:40.720 the fact

00:34:41.100 that Trump

00:34:41.520 is completely

00:34:42.180 aware that

00:34:42.820 as president

00:34:43.420 of the

00:34:43.740 United States

00:34:44.460 and the

00:34:45.320 person with

00:34:45.840 the nuclear

00:34:46.260 codes,

00:34:47.220 that if he

00:34:47.600 loses even 0.91

00:34:48.180 one brain

00:34:48.740 cell,

00:34:49.320 the whole

00:34:49.520 world is

00:34:50.000 effed.

00:34:51.160 True,

00:34:52.360 right?

00:34:52.780 And now we

00:34:53.180 have Joe

00:34:53.860 Biden,

00:34:54.340 so maybe

00:34:55.220 we're effed.

00:34:57.480 But do

00:34:58.320 you believe

00:34:58.820 the statement

00:34:59.560 messes with

00:35:00.360 your body

00:35:00.740 chemistry,

00:35:01.660 your brain?

00:35:02.100 what do

00:35:04.880 you think?

00:35:06.320 Scientifically

00:35:06.840 accurate or

00:35:08.460 not?

00:35:09.980 Now,

00:35:10.500 many of you

00:35:10.960 know that

00:35:11.340 I was

00:35:12.580 vegetarian for

00:35:13.380 years,

00:35:14.020 now I'm

00:35:14.600 a pescatarian.

00:35:17.800 Let me tell

00:35:18.700 you my

00:35:19.080 experience when

00:35:20.000 I went

00:35:20.260 vegetarian.

00:35:21.840 You ready?

00:35:23.840 Changed my

00:35:24.820 thinking and

00:35:26.940 my mood and

00:35:28.340 my body

00:35:29.260 chemistry.

00:35:29.620 and I

00:35:31.000 could tell.

00:35:33.180 Now,

00:35:33.740 how did

00:35:34.020 it change

00:35:34.400 it?

00:35:35.560 I became

00:35:36.340 less aggressive.

00:35:38.460 Now,

00:35:39.080 is it cause

00:35:39.720 and effect?

00:35:40.240 I don't

00:35:40.460 know,

00:35:40.940 but it

00:35:41.140 happened at

00:35:41.540 the same

00:35:41.820 time.

00:35:43.500 I felt

00:35:44.300 that eating

00:35:45.660 meat made

00:35:47.780 me more

00:35:48.180 aggressive.

00:35:49.680 And in

00:35:50.340 my specific

00:35:51.160 case,

00:35:52.180 I have a

00:35:52.680 problem with

00:35:53.200 being too

00:35:53.680 aggressive,

00:35:54.440 not a

00:35:54.980 problem with

00:35:55.540 not being

00:35:55.980 aggressive

00:35:56.400 enough.

00:35:57.400 I spent a

00:35:58.160 lot of

00:35:58.420 time trying

00:35:59.600 to control

00:36:01.120 my own

00:36:01.560 aggressiveness.

00:36:03.060 I think,

00:36:04.040 you know,

00:36:04.200 you can tell

00:36:04.560 from my

00:36:05.040 facial structure

00:36:06.840 I'm sensitive

00:36:08.060 to testosterone.

00:36:09.800 It doesn't

00:36:10.280 mean I have

00:36:10.760 a lot.

00:36:11.240 It just

00:36:11.460 means that

00:36:11.880 it has a

00:36:12.320 bigger effect

00:36:12.820 on my

00:36:13.160 body.

00:36:13.880 That's the

00:36:14.320 male pattern 0.83

00:36:15.640 baldness here,

00:36:16.680 the square

00:36:17.100 chin,

00:36:18.760 testosterone

00:36:19.260 sensitivity.

00:36:20.560 So I feel

00:36:21.380 like I just

00:36:22.180 have a

00:36:22.480 natural

00:36:22.940 aggressiveness

00:36:24.140 that being a

00:36:25.600 vegetarian

00:36:26.060 took the

00:36:26.960 edge off.

00:36:28.000 That's what

00:36:28.260 it felt

00:36:28.500 like.

00:36:29.440 I may

00:36:29.880 know I'm

00:36:30.520 not making

00:36:30.880 a medical

00:36:31.280 claim.

00:36:32.200 I'm not

00:36:32.460 saying you

00:36:32.860 would have

00:36:33.160 this experience.

00:36:34.140 I'm not

00:36:34.420 even saying

00:36:34.800 the science

00:36:35.260 would agree

00:36:35.660 with me.

00:36:36.360 But I will

00:36:36.760 tell you

00:36:37.100 that it's

00:36:38.000 what I

00:36:38.240 experienced.

00:36:39.600 So I

00:36:39.980 don't know

00:36:40.180 if he's

00:36:40.400 right or

00:36:40.700 wrong,

00:36:41.500 but it

00:36:42.920 doesn't shock

00:36:43.540 me to hear

00:36:44.180 he had that

00:36:44.600 opinion.

00:36:45.780 Big news

00:36:46.360 coming.

00:36:47.580 I'm going

00:36:47.840 to talk a

00:36:48.200 little bit

00:36:48.500 about COVID

00:36:50.900 stuff, but

00:36:51.480 it's new

00:36:51.800 stuff.

00:36:52.420 I think you

00:36:52.860 might like it.

00:36:53.580 Even if

00:36:53.880 you're, I

00:36:54.840 won't try to

00:36:55.300 sell you on

00:36:55.700 vaccinations.

00:36:57.460 Don't worry

00:36:58.320 about that.

00:36:58.800 I'm not

00:36:59.020 going to

00:36:59.180 try to

00:36:59.440 sell you

00:36:59.860 on anything.

00:37:00.880 I'm just

00:37:01.120 going to

00:37:01.300 tell you

00:37:01.560 what's

00:37:01.740 new.

00:37:02.820 So Merck

00:37:04.100 is coming

00:37:05.100 out with

00:37:05.360 some antiviral

00:37:06.300 pills that

00:37:06.980 apparently

00:37:07.300 reduce the

00:37:08.040 risk of

00:37:09.260 death from

00:37:09.760 COVID by

00:37:10.260 50%.

00:37:11.240 And they'll

00:37:12.460 be ready

00:37:12.900 maybe this

00:37:13.460 year.

00:37:14.300 And apparently

00:37:14.560 I think there

00:37:15.000 are two other

00:37:15.560 big companies

00:37:16.220 that have

00:37:16.620 some antivirals

00:37:17.520 coming.

00:37:18.340 We're still

00:37:19.020 waiting on

00:37:19.460 information on

00:37:20.180 their effectiveness.

00:37:20.940 But here's my

00:37:22.040 question to you.

00:37:24.000 How many of

00:37:24.580 these various

00:37:25.380 meds can

00:37:27.140 you take

00:37:27.440 at the

00:37:27.720 same time?

00:37:29.420 Suppose there

00:37:30.040 are three

00:37:30.400 antivirals that

00:37:31.340 come out.

00:37:32.740 Can you

00:37:33.100 take them

00:37:33.400 all?

00:37:34.440 If they

00:37:35.400 worked in

00:37:35.760 different ways

00:37:36.320 why can't

00:37:36.660 you take

00:37:36.960 them all?

00:37:37.900 Can you

00:37:38.300 take them

00:37:38.720 at the

00:37:38.940 same time

00:37:39.360 as your

00:37:39.740 monoclonal

00:37:40.500 antibodies?

00:37:42.060 Same time

00:37:42.660 as your

00:37:42.960 prednisone,

00:37:43.720 your vitamin

00:37:44.120 D?

00:37:45.560 How many

00:37:46.360 of these

00:37:46.640 things that

00:37:47.340 we already

00:37:48.160 give to

00:37:48.520 people can

00:37:49.120 you take

00:37:49.460 at the

00:37:49.720 same time?

00:37:50.260 Here's why

00:37:50.560 I'm asking.

00:37:51.920 If the

00:37:52.400 antiviral did

00:37:53.560 as said and

00:37:54.760 reduced your

00:37:55.920 risk of

00:37:56.700 hospitalization,

00:37:57.980 you have to

00:37:58.260 take it

00:37:58.560 early,

00:37:59.200 first five

00:37:59.800 days of

00:38:00.360 symptoms.

00:38:01.480 But if you

00:38:01.840 take it

00:38:02.140 early,

00:38:02.460 it reduces

00:38:02.820 your risk

00:38:03.260 a lot.

00:38:04.920 And so

00:38:05.260 do these

00:38:05.620 other things.

00:38:07.040 So we

00:38:07.560 started with

00:38:08.140 a risk that

00:38:08.700 was small

00:38:09.200 to begin

00:38:09.580 with,

00:38:11.000 but it

00:38:11.780 doesn't matter

00:38:12.160 how small

00:38:12.600 it is,

00:38:12.980 if you

00:38:13.180 multiply it

00:38:13.700 by 370

00:38:14.900 million people,

00:38:15.640 it's still

00:38:15.940 too big.

00:38:18.280 But we

00:38:18.820 took that

00:38:19.220 risk that

00:38:19.680 was already

00:38:20.020 small and

00:38:20.460 then we

00:38:20.680 cut it in

00:38:21.140 half with,

00:38:22.220 let's say,

00:38:22.760 prednisone,

00:38:24.160 and then we

00:38:24.580 cut it in

00:38:25.020 half again

00:38:25.520 with vitamin

00:38:26.060 D,

00:38:27.340 and we

00:38:27.640 cut it in

00:38:28.080 half again

00:38:28.600 with monoclonal

00:38:29.520 antibodies,

00:38:31.120 and then we

00:38:31.520 cut it in

00:38:32.060 half again

00:38:32.520 with antivirals.

00:38:34.780 Am I

00:38:35.340 doing the

00:38:35.700 math right?

00:38:38.820 Aren't we

00:38:39.380 done?

00:38:40.520 I mean,

00:38:40.940 when the

00:38:41.380 antivirals come 0.62

00:38:42.260 online,

00:38:42.940 it could be

00:38:43.340 the end of

00:38:43.660 the year,

00:38:44.140 aren't we

00:38:44.480 done?

00:38:45.480 Because how

00:38:46.080 many times

00:38:46.500 can you take

00:38:46.980 a small risk

00:38:47.780 and cut it

00:38:48.260 in half

00:38:48.740 before you're

00:38:49.280 done?

00:38:49.520 I realize

00:38:50.740 there's a

00:38:51.180 Zeno's 0.91

00:38:51.700 paradox

00:38:52.140 happening

00:38:52.740 here,

00:38:53.040 and you

00:38:53.200 can never

00:38:53.560 get to

00:38:55.000 zero if

00:38:55.500 you're only

00:38:55.780 cutting it

00:38:56.200 in half

00:38:56.480 every time.

00:38:57.540 But,

00:38:58.420 yeah,

00:38:59.020 I beat

00:38:59.740 you to

00:39:00.000 it.

00:39:00.600 I knew

00:39:01.160 that Zeno's

00:39:01.800 paradox

00:39:02.200 was common.

00:39:03.280 I beat

00:39:03.720 you to

00:39:03.960 the

00:39:04.100 comment,

00:39:04.720 only because

00:39:05.260 there's a

00:39:05.680 delay on

00:39:06.200 YouTube.

00:39:08.640 Yeah,

00:39:09.180 it depends

00:39:09.500 on how

00:39:09.780 many

00:39:09.940 overlapping

00:39:10.460 mechanisms,

00:39:11.760 right?

00:39:13.200 Exactly.

00:39:15.060 If the

00:39:15.460 antivirals

00:39:16.140 use the

00:39:16.780 same

00:39:16.960 mechanism,

00:39:17.540 can they

00:39:17.820 all be

00:39:18.140 patented?

00:39:19.520 Here's a

00:39:19.980 question for

00:39:20.480 you.

00:39:21.160 Can you

00:39:21.520 patent

00:39:22.020 drugs that

00:39:22.660 are developed

00:39:23.120 at the

00:39:23.460 same time

00:39:24.020 that use

00:39:24.360 the same

00:39:24.700 mechanism

00:39:25.180 to do

00:39:25.680 their work?

00:39:27.300 If one

00:39:28.100 was not

00:39:28.500 copying the

00:39:29.120 other,

00:39:29.380 they just

00:39:29.680 came out

00:39:30.080 about the

00:39:30.440 same time?

00:39:31.620 Does the

00:39:31.980 first one

00:39:32.380 get the

00:39:32.640 patent and

00:39:33.080 the rest

00:39:33.380 of them

00:39:33.640 can't

00:39:34.260 market?

00:39:35.440 How does

00:39:35.840 that work?

00:39:36.980 I have

00:39:37.500 questions.

00:39:39.220 But I

00:39:40.180 feel like

00:39:40.620 we're going

00:39:41.840 to be

00:39:42.140 through with

00:39:43.420 this.

00:39:44.000 Oh,

00:39:44.160 we have

00:39:44.360 some news

00:39:44.720 that a

00:39:45.040 senior

00:39:45.320 al-Qaeda

00:39:45.720 leader was

00:39:46.260 killed by

00:39:46.640 an American

00:39:48.140 drone strike

00:39:48.820 in Syria.

00:39:49.520 Do you

00:39:50.580 believe that?

00:39:51.540 A senior

00:39:52.280 al-Qaeda

00:39:52.780 leader was

00:39:53.280 killed in

00:39:53.680 a drone

00:39:54.000 strike.

00:39:54.760 No

00:39:54.920 civilians

00:39:55.380 were killed.

00:39:57.160 Who

00:39:57.440 believes that

00:39:58.020 that really

00:39:58.420 happened?

00:40:00.300 Not me.

00:40:02.300 Not me.

00:40:03.560 Now,

00:40:03.780 it's not

00:40:04.020 impossible that

00:40:04.840 it happened,

00:40:06.560 but let's

00:40:08.300 just look at

00:40:09.780 the timing,

00:40:10.680 shall we?

00:40:12.200 Because,

00:40:13.360 correct me if

00:40:13.880 I'm wrong,

00:40:14.440 didn't the

00:40:14.800 American military

00:40:15.560 need a palate

00:40:16.640 cleanser

00:40:17.260 with the

00:40:18.640 drone strikes?

00:40:19.920 Because you

00:40:20.340 know they

00:40:20.600 want to do

00:40:21.020 more drone

00:40:21.520 strikes,

00:40:22.100 obviously.

00:40:22.760 It's a good

00:40:23.160 weapon.

00:40:24.120 But they've

00:40:24.720 got that

00:40:25.100 bad one

00:40:25.820 on their

00:40:26.800 permanent

00:40:27.280 record,

00:40:28.100 you know,

00:40:28.320 the civilians

00:40:29.040 they killed

00:40:29.460 by accident.

00:40:30.700 They needed

00:40:31.700 a clean

00:40:32.580 drone strike

00:40:33.500 really soon,

00:40:34.500 didn't they?

00:40:35.380 So that you

00:40:36.040 would start

00:40:36.360 thinking good

00:40:37.100 about drones

00:40:37.920 again.

00:40:38.700 You know,

00:40:38.940 you'd have

00:40:39.880 your average

00:40:40.520 of good ones

00:40:41.180 to bad ones

00:40:41.820 would be

00:40:42.160 better.

00:40:42.420 What are

00:40:43.960 the chances

00:40:44.480 that an

00:40:45.760 unverifiable

00:40:47.440 attack on

00:40:48.680 a leader,

00:40:50.300 an Al-Qaeda 0.58

00:40:50.840 leader,

00:40:52.260 would happen

00:40:52.800 just about

00:40:53.320 now?

00:40:54.920 I'm sorry.

00:40:56.860 This timing,

00:40:58.440 no.

00:41:00.820 I feel as

00:41:01.580 if this

00:41:01.980 Al-Qaeda

00:41:02.420 leader might

00:41:04.380 have been

00:41:04.600 not so much

00:41:05.220 of a leader

00:41:06.420 as maybe

00:41:08.220 somebody in

00:41:09.500 the group.

00:41:10.860 And maybe

00:41:12.100 there were

00:41:12.860 people who

00:41:13.360 got killed

00:41:13.840 that weren't

00:41:14.360 just Al-Qaeda.

00:41:15.900 I'm not

00:41:16.360 going to

00:41:16.560 believe anything

00:41:17.100 about this

00:41:17.660 story.

00:41:18.840 Doesn't mean

00:41:19.460 it's untrue.

00:41:20.740 I'm not

00:41:21.220 telling you

00:41:21.640 it's fake.

00:41:22.860 I'm saying

00:41:23.320 that credibility

00:41:24.360 is different

00:41:25.080 than true

00:41:25.480 or false.

00:41:26.340 I say this

00:41:26.900 a lot,

00:41:27.300 but I have

00:41:27.660 to keep

00:41:27.940 saying it.

00:41:28.760 When you

00:41:29.160 say something's

00:41:29.840 not credible,

00:41:31.320 it doesn't

00:41:31.660 mean it's

00:41:31.980 false.

00:41:32.600 It just

00:41:32.880 means that

00:41:33.240 the source

00:41:33.660 can't be

00:41:34.100 believed.

00:41:35.280 So this

00:41:35.600 is kind

00:41:35.940 a credible

00:41:40.260 source for

00:41:41.020 drone strike

00:41:41.680 information.

00:41:42.340 We know

00:41:42.600 that,

00:41:43.400 right?

00:41:44.040 We know

00:41:44.560 that.

00:41:45.880 Yeah,

00:41:46.380 two on

00:41:46.660 the nose,

00:41:47.180 exactly.

00:41:47.780 I'm seeing

00:41:48.040 that comment.

00:41:48.960 Two on

00:41:49.320 the nose.

00:41:50.220 Little too

00:41:51.060 perfect.

00:41:52.200 Yeah.

00:41:56.820 So,

00:41:57.820 California,

00:42:00.740 there's a

00:42:01.880 mask mandate

00:42:03.020 question and

00:42:03.740 there was

00:42:03.940 some article

00:42:05.040 about trying

00:42:05.600 to figure

00:42:05.880 out who

00:42:06.220 it is who

00:42:06.640 actually has

00:42:07.040 the power

00:42:07.500 to give

00:42:08.340 mask mandates

00:42:09.140 in California.

00:42:09.720 I guess

00:42:10.440 it's a

00:42:10.720 little

00:42:10.800 murky,

00:42:11.980 like what

00:42:12.720 part of

00:42:13.680 the government

00:42:14.060 can even

00:42:14.500 tell you

00:42:14.780 to do

00:42:15.020 that.

00:42:15.520 But I'm

00:42:15.840 not too

00:42:16.100 interested in

00:42:16.480 that part

00:42:16.780 of the

00:42:16.960 story.

00:42:17.500 I'm

00:42:17.740 interested in

00:42:18.280 this part

00:42:18.640 of the

00:42:18.840 story.

00:42:20.060 I keep

00:42:20.740 seeing online

00:42:21.580 that the

00:42:22.880 American

00:42:23.380 public

00:42:23.820 believes

00:42:24.300 that the

00:42:24.700 government

00:42:25.100 has control

00:42:26.680 over how

00:42:27.220 long you

00:42:27.680 wear masks.

00:42:29.260 That's

00:42:29.740 crazy.

00:42:31.360 Everybody

00:42:31.860 who's worried

00:42:32.480 about the

00:42:32.880 government

00:42:33.400 permanently

00:42:34.600 keeping you

00:42:35.340 in masks?

00:42:36.000 What?

00:42:39.720 Here's why

00:42:40.420 that's crazy.

00:42:41.960 The government

00:42:42.440 doesn't have

00:42:43.000 any power

00:42:43.480 over you

00:42:43.960 wearing a

00:42:44.380 mask.

00:42:45.440 You wear

00:42:45.940 masks because

00:42:46.980 most of the

00:42:47.860 public still

00:42:48.420 wants to.

00:42:49.920 As soon as

00:42:50.680 the percentage

00:42:51.320 of the

00:42:51.720 public changes

00:42:53.280 to some

00:42:54.480 other percentage,

00:42:56.300 it'll stop.

00:42:57.740 The government

00:42:58.360 has no power.

00:42:59.740 None.

00:43:00.680 None.

00:43:01.860 They have

00:43:02.340 power over

00:43:02.760 individuals,

00:43:04.140 but they

00:43:04.700 don't have

00:43:04.960 power over

00:43:05.480 the public.

00:43:07.760 None.

00:43:09.360 Not for

00:43:10.180 masks.

00:43:10.820 You can

00:43:11.300 imagine if

00:43:12.040 they used

00:43:12.400 the military

00:43:13.300 to get

00:43:13.820 something done,

00:43:14.380 they could

00:43:14.620 do that.

00:43:15.240 But they're

00:43:15.440 not going

00:43:15.720 to deploy

00:43:16.960 the military

00:43:17.720 to make

00:43:18.880 you wear

00:43:19.140 a mask.

00:43:20.240 Because the

00:43:20.920 public will

00:43:21.360 take the

00:43:21.680 masks off

00:43:22.220 when the

00:43:22.540 science says

00:43:23.100 they can.

00:43:24.580 Right?

00:43:25.440 And that

00:43:25.780 probably will

00:43:26.300 be around

00:43:26.720 year-end

00:43:27.300 when we

00:43:27.660 have enough

00:43:28.040 therapeutics

00:43:28.760 and the

00:43:29.080 vaccination

00:43:29.560 uptake is

00:43:30.840 looking good

00:43:31.520 and the

00:43:31.980 numbers are

00:43:32.380 coming down.

00:43:33.780 The American

00:43:34.620 public will

00:43:35.260 decide.

00:43:36.480 Now, if

00:43:37.080 the government

00:43:37.540 is smart,

00:43:38.300 they'll front

00:43:38.780 run the

00:43:39.240 public.

00:43:40.560 That the

00:43:41.360 government will

00:43:42.140 on its own

00:43:42.940 get rid of

00:43:43.380 the mask

00:43:43.740 mandate before

00:43:44.420 the public

00:43:44.900 tells them

00:43:46.060 they have

00:43:46.380 to.

00:43:47.220 But the

00:43:47.780 moment you

00:43:48.260 think that

00:43:48.760 the government

00:43:49.220 has control

00:43:50.020 over this

00:43:50.680 decision,

00:43:51.600 you are

00:43:52.080 very confused.

00:43:53.780 The government

00:43:54.340 has no

00:43:54.980 control.

00:43:56.780 Australia?

00:43:57.680 Nope.

00:43:58.660 Australia is

00:43:59.440 not an

00:44:00.000 example of

00:44:01.240 the government

00:44:01.700 having control.

00:44:02.680 It's not.

00:44:03.080 It just

00:44:04.160 means that

00:44:04.560 the public

00:44:04.960 is not

00:44:05.520 agreeing with

00:44:06.360 getting rid

00:44:06.940 of the

00:44:07.140 mandate at

00:44:07.840 a high

00:44:08.060 enough

00:44:08.260 percentage.

00:44:09.300 As soon

00:44:09.920 as enough

00:44:10.480 of the

00:44:10.760 public is

00:44:12.080 done with

00:44:12.560 the masks

00:44:13.060 in Australia,

00:44:13.920 they're done.

00:44:14.600 That's it.

00:44:15.620 There's no

00:44:16.140 exception to

00:44:16.740 this.

00:44:17.860 Right?

00:44:18.800 Not for

00:44:19.360 masks.

00:44:20.180 I mean,

00:44:20.380 there would

00:44:20.600 be an

00:44:20.860 exception if

00:44:21.440 it was

00:44:21.740 some bigger

00:44:22.640 issue that

00:44:23.440 went to

00:44:24.360 homeland

00:44:24.780 security or

00:44:25.560 something.

00:44:25.860 Then the

00:44:26.380 government

00:44:26.660 might have

00:44:27.120 to do

00:44:27.900 what it

00:44:28.080 has to

00:44:28.380 do.

00:44:28.600 But not

00:44:30.200 with masks.

00:44:32.080 Right?

00:44:32.280 The public

00:44:32.660 has this

00:44:33.120 decision

00:44:33.500 completely.

00:44:34.600 Don't be

00:44:35.040 fooled.

00:44:35.940 If you

00:44:36.360 want to

00:44:37.020 change it,

00:44:37.620 change the

00:44:38.680 opinion of

00:44:39.280 the people

00:44:39.660 around you.

00:44:40.860 Change other

00:44:41.680 public opinion.

00:44:42.980 You don't

00:44:43.340 even need to

00:44:43.800 talk to the

00:44:44.280 government.

00:44:45.200 The government

00:44:45.660 will do what

00:44:46.420 we tell them

00:44:46.980 to do.

00:44:47.780 We just

00:44:48.240 have to

00:44:48.560 decide what

00:44:49.100 that is.

00:44:50.000 The reason

00:44:50.560 we haven't

00:44:50.980 told them

00:44:51.460 to drop

00:44:51.840 the mask

00:44:52.580 mandate is

00:44:53.100 the public

00:44:53.500 doesn't want

00:44:55.000 it by

00:44:55.780 enough of a

00:44:56.400 percentage.

00:44:57.540 As soon as

00:44:58.180 we do,

00:44:59.160 it's done.

00:45:00.400 And the

00:45:00.700 public isn't

00:45:01.220 going to

00:45:01.400 wear a 0.89

00:45:02.060 freaking 0.87

00:45:02.320 mask

00:45:02.900 forever.

00:45:04.020 There's

00:45:04.420 no way.

00:45:05.560 No way

00:45:06.460 that's going

00:45:06.960 to happen.

00:45:08.180 So don't

00:45:08.600 worry about

00:45:08.960 that.

00:45:10.280 You can

00:45:10.860 worry about

00:45:11.260 how long

00:45:11.700 it takes.

00:45:12.440 That's going

00:45:12.860 to be a

00:45:13.060 pain in 1.00

00:45:13.300 the ass. 1.00

00:45:13.680 But I 1.00

00:45:13.860 wouldn't

00:45:14.000 worry about

00:45:14.380 it being

00:45:14.600 forever.

00:45:17.800 Here's a

00:45:18.380 similar,

00:45:19.120 this is an

00:45:19.660 analogy, I

00:45:20.280 just thought

00:45:20.940 of it when

00:45:21.480 I was looking

00:45:22.120 at this

00:45:22.380 story.

00:45:23.120 When I was

00:45:23.820 a budget

00:45:24.340 guy working

00:45:25.320 at a big

00:45:25.840 bank, it

00:45:26.520 was my

00:45:26.840 job to

00:45:27.360 collect the

00:45:28.500 budget

00:45:28.740 requirements

00:45:29.380 and report

00:45:30.340 them, etc.

00:45:31.180 And the

00:45:32.120 department heads

00:45:32.760 would come to

00:45:33.260 me and say,

00:45:33.960 I need more

00:45:34.720 budget.

00:45:35.980 And I'd say

00:45:36.440 to them,

00:45:36.840 well, don't

00:45:37.140 ask me.

00:45:38.380 I'm not in

00:45:38.860 charge of what

00:45:39.980 your budget is,

00:45:40.940 I'm just

00:45:41.460 reporting it.

00:45:42.260 I'm the guy

00:45:43.280 who just gives

00:45:44.700 information, I

00:45:45.500 don't make

00:45:45.800 decisions.

00:45:47.160 And they

00:45:47.680 couldn't

00:45:47.900 understand that.

00:45:49.240 And I

00:45:49.480 would tell

00:45:49.720 them, you 0.56

00:45:50.340 know, you're

00:45:50.780 the one in

00:45:51.220 charge of

00:45:51.540 your budget,

00:45:52.000 right?

00:45:53.540 That all

00:45:54.780 it takes to

00:45:55.480 get more

00:45:55.800 money is to

00:45:57.100 go to your

00:45:57.480 boss and

00:45:58.440 make a case

00:45:59.120 that if you

00:46:00.580 had this

00:46:00.920 money, the

00:46:01.440 business would

00:46:01.940 be better

00:46:02.300 off.

00:46:03.260 And I

00:46:03.620 would tell

00:46:04.100 the department

00:46:04.640 heads, stop

00:46:05.600 acting like I

00:46:06.300 have the power

00:46:06.880 over your

00:46:07.300 budget, I

00:46:07.700 don't have

00:46:07.940 any.

00:46:08.780 And stop

00:46:09.240 acting like your

00:46:09.880 boss has power

00:46:11.380 over your

00:46:11.760 budget.

00:46:12.500 That's an

00:46:13.060 illusion.

00:46:14.620 It's an

00:46:15.180 illusion.

00:46:16.400 It wasn't in

00:46:17.240 this case, because

00:46:17.900 we had plenty

00:46:18.440 of capital.

00:46:19.100 If you were

00:46:19.520 actually constrained

00:46:20.600 for capital, then

00:46:21.420 your boss would

00:46:22.060 have that

00:46:22.400 decision.

00:46:23.180 But we

00:46:23.560 weren't constrained

00:46:24.240 for capital.

00:46:25.300 We were

00:46:25.720 constrained for

00:46:26.480 good ideas.

00:46:28.020 That was the

00:46:28.740 constraint.

00:46:29.620 So I said, you

00:46:30.360 can have all the

00:46:30.840 money you want.

00:46:31.940 You just have to

00:46:32.600 tell your boss

00:46:33.340 that you'll make

00:46:34.280 more money than

00:46:35.860 you spent.

00:46:37.120 Make the case.

00:46:38.320 Or that something

00:46:39.000 will be better,

00:46:39.660 security or

00:46:40.280 something.

00:46:41.380 So lots

00:46:42.940 of times we

00:46:43.420 have this

00:46:43.820 illusion of

00:46:44.560 who's in

00:46:44.900 power.

00:46:46.400 And that

00:46:46.820 illusion can

00:46:47.500 really limit

00:46:48.080 you and also

00:46:48.700 mess with your

00:46:49.240 head.

00:46:50.920 You have the

00:46:51.900 power quite

00:46:52.640 long.

00:46:53.920 You have the

00:46:54.440 power over how

00:46:55.340 people feel

00:46:56.020 about you.

00:46:57.180 When you walk

00:46:57.780 into a room,

00:46:59.360 you change how

00:47:00.100 people feel.

00:47:01.660 That's true of

00:47:02.320 everybody, right?

00:47:03.080 When a new

00:47:03.660 person enters,

00:47:04.800 changes the

00:47:05.360 chemistry of the

00:47:05.900 room.

00:47:06.500 You change

00:47:07.240 other people.

00:47:08.600 And if you

00:47:09.000 learn to do it

00:47:09.520 right, you'll

00:47:10.940 feel that you

00:47:11.500 always have

00:47:11.940 the power.

00:47:13.820 When I'm in

00:47:15.720 a situation

00:47:16.260 with, let's

00:47:16.740 say, dangerous

00:47:17.600 men, right,

00:47:19.280 who might have

00:47:20.220 some reason to 0.99

00:47:20.800 kill me, I

00:47:22.000 never feel 1.00

00:47:22.540 afraid because I

00:47:24.820 always feel like

00:47:25.340 I have complete

00:47:25.840 power over the

00:47:26.660 situation.

00:47:27.620 Meaning that I

00:47:28.380 can talk a man 0.98

00:47:29.100 of killing me, 1.00

00:47:30.100 I can run 0.94

00:47:30.880 away and get a

00:47:31.480 gun and come 0.99

00:47:31.940 back.

00:47:32.560 I mean, I just

00:47:32.940 have all the

00:47:33.320 power I want.

00:47:34.380 So sometimes you

00:47:35.440 get caught in

00:47:36.360 the illusion that

00:47:39.580 people have

00:47:40.040 power over you.

00:47:40.960 Here's another

00:47:41.400 one.

00:47:42.280 Suppose you

00:47:42.820 are threatened

00:47:43.400 by somebody

00:47:45.180 that you

00:47:45.540 know.

00:47:48.420 Threatened,

00:47:49.100 like physically

00:47:49.780 threatened by

00:47:50.260 somebody you

00:47:50.760 know.

00:47:51.240 Here's my

00:47:51.720 first thought.

00:47:53.140 I know where

00:47:53.880 that person

00:47:54.360 lives.

00:47:56.060 That's the

00:47:56.640 end of the

00:47:57.000 threat, isn't

00:47:58.720 it?

00:47:59.260 If you know

00:47:59.960 where somebody

00:48:00.460 lives, they

00:48:02.720 better not touch

00:48:03.560 you because I'm

00:48:04.920 going to be

00:48:05.200 visiting them in

00:48:05.880 the middle of

00:48:06.280 the night and

00:48:07.300 it's not going

00:48:07.800 to go well.

00:48:08.320 You have the

00:48:09.840 full power to 0.99

00:48:10.540 kill anybody 0.99

00:48:11.120 you want. 0.91

00:48:11.980 I don't

00:48:12.220 recommend it,

00:48:12.860 by the way.

00:48:13.660 But you can 0.98

00:48:14.200 kill anybody if 0.99

00:48:16.240 you know where 1.00

00:48:16.640 they live.

00:48:17.220 That's all you

00:48:17.600 need.

00:48:19.540 So, again, it's

00:48:21.400 not a good idea.

00:48:22.420 I'm just telling

00:48:22.920 you that you

00:48:24.220 often underestimate

00:48:25.260 your own power

00:48:26.100 and it's a big

00:48:26.880 problem.

00:48:27.880 You have power

00:48:28.620 over masks

00:48:29.360 collectively.

00:48:30.860 You have power

00:48:31.840 over almost all

00:48:32.640 of your situations.

00:48:33.560 You just don't

00:48:33.960 realize it.

00:48:34.820 Or maybe you

00:48:35.300 don't know how

00:48:35.620 to use it.

00:48:36.040 So, don't

00:48:39.500 give away your

00:48:39.940 power is what

00:48:40.500 I'm saying.

00:48:41.520 And that, ladies 0.97

00:48:42.680 and gentlemen, is

00:48:44.440 coffee with Scott

00:48:45.640 Adams.

00:48:46.540 One of the best

00:48:47.380 experiences you'll

00:48:48.380 ever have.

00:48:51.540 You know where I

00:48:52.420 live.

00:48:53.320 That's right.

00:48:54.000 You have power

00:48:54.440 over me because

00:48:55.180 you know where I

00:48:55.620 live.

00:48:57.240 Sort of.

00:48:57.860 Apparently, there's

00:49:01.140 a story about a

00:49:01.780 woman who 0.99

00:49:02.500 survived the

00:49:05.760 1918 pandemic,

00:49:07.520 the Spanish flu,

00:49:08.880 and then just

00:49:10.080 died at 100

00:49:11.160 and whatever

00:49:11.680 from COVID.

00:49:13.640 So, she survived

00:49:14.620 the Spanish flu

00:49:15.500 but died of COVID.

00:49:18.720 I'm not sure

00:49:19.460 that's the way I

00:49:20.080 would have coded

00:49:20.640 that.

00:49:21.380 I would have

00:49:21.760 called that a

00:49:22.240 Spanish flu

00:49:22.800 death.

00:49:24.260 But that's just

00:49:25.140 me.

00:49:25.360 I'm just

00:49:27.640 kidding.

00:49:35.160 All right.

00:49:37.080 Or did she

00:49:37.780 die of being

00:49:38.360 102?

00:49:39.320 Yeah.

00:49:39.840 I guess she

00:49:40.240 died of being

00:49:40.780 102.

00:49:43.160 All right.

00:49:43.780 That's all for

00:49:44.220 now.

00:49:44.860 Goodbye, YouTube.

00:49:46.340 I'll talk to you

00:49:47.080 tomorrow.
