Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1522 Scott Adams： Today I Will Teach You How Analogies Work. You Probably Won't Like it. So Definitely Watch.

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:07.140 You're feeling better already, aren't you?

00:00:09.280 Did you wake up feeling a little tired this morning?

00:00:12.560 And now you notice, as soon as this goes live, boom, your energy starts to pop up.

00:00:18.540 It's going to be good.

00:00:19.620 Yeah, there's a whiteboard behind me.

00:00:21.380 Wait till you see the...

00:00:22.120 Wait till you see...

00:00:22.480 Don't cheat.

00:00:23.600 Don't look.

00:00:24.660 No, no, you're looking ahead.

00:00:26.140 Don't do that.

00:00:27.280 No, no, no, no.

00:00:30.000 Before we get to the whiteboard, we've got to get to something far more important,

00:00:34.300 maybe more important than climate change, more important than science.

00:00:39.760 It's called the simultaneous sip, and I know that those of you who have experienced it

00:00:44.140 can vouch for its power.

00:00:46.700 Those of you who are just coming in new or maybe finally got here on time,

00:00:52.540 well, you're in for a treat.

00:00:54.420 Because the simultaneous sip will take you to a new level,

00:00:57.320 one you've never experienced before.

00:01:00.260 And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:01:02.020 a tank or a chalice or a stein,

00:01:03.860 a canteen jug or a flask.

00:01:05.420 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:07.640 I like coffee.

00:01:09.240 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:01:12.980 the dopamine hit of the day,

00:01:14.700 the thing that makes everything better,

00:01:17.100 except science.

00:01:18.200 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:01:20.400 Go.

00:01:20.560 Oh, I see a resistor.

00:01:28.900 Somebody says, skip the sip.

00:01:31.660 Oh, there are always rogues.

00:01:35.520 We have a rogue anti-sipper. 0.97

00:01:39.160 Yeah, I'm going to brand you.

00:01:41.700 I'm not even going to entertain your argument

00:01:44.220 that sipping could be bad for you.

00:01:46.280 No, no, I'm going after the messenger.

00:01:48.680 We have an anti-sipper. 1.00

00:01:53.540 Science has proven that sipping your beverage with me

00:01:57.360 makes you healthier and happier.

00:01:59.740 Science, I tell you.

00:02:01.220 I don't have a link to it right now,

00:02:03.020 but trust me, lots of links to it.

00:02:05.760 I just don't have one right now.

00:02:07.460 But trust me, a lot of science behind it.

00:02:10.400 So the anti-sippers, I brand you an anti-sipper. 0.99

00:02:15.500 I can't have any respect for you now.

00:02:18.680 Well, Trudeau, up there in Canada,

00:02:23.120 or if you're watching from Canada,

00:02:25.420 right where you are in Canada,

00:02:29.040 he was referring to people across the country

00:02:32.900 lighting candles to honor the indigenous women, girls,

00:02:37.180 and it turns out that the LGBT,

00:02:41.120 which added the Q,

00:02:43.180 so it's now LGBTQ,

00:02:45.440 just keeps adding letters.

00:02:47.840 So the difference between the LGBTQ

00:02:50.680 and what I'm going to read in a moment,

00:02:54.660 it feels like it's turning into

00:02:57.440 some kind of a, I don't know,

00:03:01.560 blockchain code or something.

00:03:03.880 But here's what Trudeau used.

00:03:06.600 2-S-L-G-B-T-Q-Q-I-A-plus.

00:03:11.960 And apparently that does capture

00:03:14.480 as many people as possible.

00:03:18.000 So I might start adopting this.

00:03:20.480 Because I respect the people

00:03:24.060 in the 2-S-L-G-B-T-Q-Q-I-A-plus community. 0.98

00:03:29.640 Now, a lot of you people

00:03:30.660 are just bastards.

00:03:33.400 You're bastards.

00:03:34.340 A lot of you.

00:03:35.160 A lot of you are just bastards.

00:03:37.120 And you do not respect other people

00:03:38.880 as much as I do.

00:03:40.920 You should take a tip from me.

00:03:43.400 Be more respectful

00:03:44.240 of your fellow human beings.

00:03:45.760 And step up.

00:03:48.600 Step up.

00:03:49.900 If you can figure out

00:03:53.540 how many prime numbers there are

00:03:54.920 between zero and 100 million,

00:03:57.640 it should not be hard for you

00:03:58.900 to memorize 2-S-L-G-B-T-Q-Q-I-A-plus.

00:04:04.800 And I believe we should all use it

00:04:06.140 from now on and nothing else.

00:04:08.320 Because if you use anything else,

00:04:09.820 well, you're a bastard. 0.97

00:04:11.120 You're a bastard.

00:04:11.620 Well, of course,

00:04:14.740 there is yet another school shooting.

00:04:16.720 I'm not going to name the shooter

00:04:17.820 or the school

00:04:18.600 because I don't like to do that.

00:04:22.500 He was bullied.

00:04:24.160 So a boy was bullied

00:04:25.120 and he took a gun to school

00:04:26.500 and shot a bunch of people.

00:04:28.640 Now, if this story

00:04:30.160 had been only about

00:04:32.760 him killing his bullies,

00:04:34.900 I would feel different about it.

00:04:38.380 I would feel different.

00:04:39.520 But I think he killed people

00:04:40.940 who were not his bullies

00:04:41.960 and at least shot people.

00:04:44.040 Shot his teacher.

00:04:45.020 I don't think the teacher

00:04:45.760 was a bully. 0.57

00:04:46.980 Although maybe the teacher

00:04:48.240 could have done more.

00:04:49.200 But I don't think that

00:04:49.980 deserves getting shot.

00:04:53.240 I have the following comments

00:04:54.780 about this story.

00:04:57.340 Nobody cares when boys get bullied.

00:05:01.320 Except maybe the parents

00:05:02.680 and the boy himself.

00:05:04.820 Nobody cares when boys get bullied.

00:05:06.360 And so some of these boys

00:05:10.420 are going to go home

00:05:11.220 and get a gun

00:05:11.820 and they're going to make you

00:05:13.560 care about them.

00:05:15.120 That's what he did.

00:05:16.880 This kid said,

00:05:17.920 you don't care about me?

00:05:20.160 I don't care about you.

00:05:22.300 Went home, got a gun.

00:05:23.780 I don't know where he got the gun.

00:05:25.440 Went to school

00:05:26.040 and did some horrible things.

00:05:29.120 Now, I do not condone this.

00:05:30.500 Let me be as clear as possible.

00:05:32.780 I do not condone

00:05:34.000 or encourage this behavior.

00:05:35.360 It is, however,

00:05:37.140 a guaranteed outcome.

00:05:39.720 It's a guaranteed outcome.

00:05:42.380 Men and boys,

00:05:43.800 can you back me on this?

00:05:45.920 If boys are treated

00:05:47.340 like they don't exist

00:05:48.480 and they don't matter,

00:05:50.080 despite being abused,

00:05:51.900 they will resort to violence.

00:05:55.220 That's how we're designed.

00:05:57.700 Don't be surprised.

00:05:59.680 Don't be surprised.

00:06:01.080 I mean, you have to do

00:06:01.640 everything you can to stop it.

00:06:03.160 But don't act surprised.

00:06:04.140 We've developed a system

00:06:06.560 that guarantees

00:06:08.180 we create more

00:06:09.080 of these school shooters.

00:06:10.620 If you create a system

00:06:11.820 that guarantees

00:06:12.480 you have school shooters,

00:06:13.920 don't act surprised.

00:06:15.600 You treat boys

00:06:16.540 like they're just pieces of shit

00:06:18.620 that don't matter whatsoever.

00:06:21.760 Don't be surprised

00:06:22.640 if they act exactly

00:06:23.820 the way you treat them.

00:06:25.280 That's how it works.

00:06:26.780 You treat somebody

00:06:27.580 like a criminal,

00:06:28.360 they're more likely

00:06:28.860 to become one.

00:06:29.520 There's lots of science

00:06:31.880 beyond that, right?

00:06:32.680 The way you treat people

00:06:33.620 is what you turn them into.

00:06:35.700 You abuse people,

00:06:36.680 they become abusers.

00:06:37.940 You treat people

00:06:38.760 like they're great,

00:06:39.940 they start performing better.

00:06:41.780 Because they think,

00:06:42.300 really?

00:06:42.620 I didn't think I was that good,

00:06:43.820 but maybe I am.

00:06:45.300 So yeah,

00:06:45.860 our system turns boys 0.99

00:06:47.180 into school shooters.

00:06:48.920 Don't be surprised.

00:06:49.780 The optimist in me says,

00:06:55.260 I wish that there were

00:06:56.180 enough of these,

00:06:57.340 as horrible as they are.

00:06:58.520 You don't want more of them,

00:06:59.540 but you wish that there

00:07:01.620 would be an accidental benefit,

00:07:04.720 which is that bullies

00:07:05.880 would stop bullying

00:07:06.740 because they'd be afraid

00:07:07.840 of getting shot.

00:07:11.800 If I were bullied in school,

00:07:14.980 I would start sending

00:07:16.120 my bullies articles

00:07:19.240 about school shootings.

00:07:22.280 I would send my bullies

00:07:23.920 articles about school shootings.

00:07:27.580 I would immediately

00:07:28.680 be pulled out of school

00:07:29.700 and probably,

00:07:30.620 I imagine I would be

00:07:32.460 in a lot of trouble for that.

00:07:34.820 And boy,

00:07:35.320 would I enjoy that.

00:07:37.040 Imagine being the guy

00:07:38.220 who got bullied

00:07:39.880 and you start sending,

00:07:41.720 just through social media,

00:07:42.720 you start sending your bullies

00:07:43.940 the school shooting articles.

00:07:45.800 Well, immediately,

00:07:46.660 you're going to be called

00:07:47.260 into the principal's office, right?

00:07:48.760 Your parents are going

00:07:50.020 to be pulled in.

00:07:50.720 They're saying,

00:07:51.660 dude,

00:07:52.740 you cannot be sending

00:07:54.180 these dangerous messages

00:07:56.700 about school shootings

00:07:58.040 to your bullies.

00:08:00.420 To which I say,

00:08:02.380 as a person being bullied,

00:08:06.020 God, I need to swear now.

00:08:08.220 I need to swear so badly,

00:08:09.460 but I'm going to,

00:08:09.920 I'm going to take your advice

00:08:11.640 as hard as this is.

00:08:13.820 As hard as this is,

00:08:14.940 you are right, right?

00:08:16.320 Those of you who have said,

00:08:17.960 swear less,

00:08:19.520 because, you know,

00:08:20.080 you like to show it

00:08:20.700 to your kids and stuff

00:08:21.480 in some cases.

00:08:22.240 You're not going to want

00:08:22.800 to show this one

00:08:23.340 to your kids, but,

00:08:24.760 but,

00:08:25.060 so if I'm that kid

00:08:27.100 who's bullied

00:08:27.600 and I've been called

00:08:28.320 into the office

00:08:29.180 and said,

00:08:29.680 why are you sending

00:08:30.300 these dangerous articles

00:08:31.560 around about school shootings?

00:08:33.380 I would say,

00:08:34.920 I would look the principal

00:08:36.000 in the eye

00:08:36.520 and I would say,

00:08:37.120 the reason I'm doing this

00:08:38.240 is because you're not

00:08:39.740 doing your effing job.

00:08:41.760 If you could do your job,

00:08:43.680 I wouldn't do this.

00:08:45.660 Your job is to keep me safe.

00:08:47.840 You're not doing your job.

00:08:49.800 And by the way,

00:08:50.660 the parents of these bullies,

00:08:52.520 they're not doing their job.

00:08:54.980 And of course,

00:08:55.720 the bullies are assholes. 0.93

00:08:58.280 So,

00:08:59.120 let me explain this to you,

00:09:00.560 Mr. Principal.

00:09:01.840 If you don't do your job,

00:09:03.300 I have to do it for you.

00:09:05.040 That's my only alternative.

00:09:06.840 Because I'm not going

00:09:07.720 to be unsafe.

00:09:10.180 Do you understand,

00:09:11.120 Mr. Principal,

00:09:12.600 that you're not going

00:09:13.320 to give me the unsafe option?

00:09:15.180 I choose not to take it.

00:09:17.220 I realize that you'd like me

00:09:18.720 to go back to this

00:09:19.580 bullying situation

00:09:20.440 and do nothing about it

00:09:21.600 and not do your job.

00:09:23.500 I'm going to do your job

00:09:24.680 until you can do it.

00:09:26.220 If you can step up,

00:09:28.340 I'll stop doing this.

00:09:30.080 If you don't step up,

00:09:32.140 we're going bigger on this.

00:09:34.420 Because right now,

00:09:35.100 I'm only dealing

00:09:35.580 with the school.

00:09:36.340 Tomorrow,

00:09:36.700 I'm going to deal

00:09:37.060 with the press.

00:09:37.720 If you don't think

00:09:40.980 that was me

00:09:41.600 at age 15,

00:09:43.180 you didn't know me

00:09:44.360 at age 15.

00:09:46.400 Because I would have

00:09:47.240 done that.

00:09:48.960 I would have called

00:09:49.940 the principal,

00:09:50.880 I'm doing his job,

00:09:52.100 and that would have

00:09:52.960 been the only topic.

00:09:54.420 And I wouldn't even

00:09:55.100 talk about what

00:09:55.880 I was doing.

00:09:57.040 I would say,

00:09:57.420 I'm not even here

00:09:57.960 to talk about that.

00:09:59.360 That's not even

00:10:00.000 the problem.

00:10:01.800 Somehow,

00:10:02.360 you thought I'm

00:10:02.880 the problem.

00:10:03.880 Apparently,

00:10:04.380 you don't know

00:10:04.680 what problems look like.

00:10:05.740 Let me explain

00:10:06.800 what a problem is.

00:10:08.000 A problem is

00:10:08.900 getting bullied

00:10:09.580 every day

00:10:10.820 and nobody

00:10:12.040 doing anything

00:10:12.560 about it.

00:10:13.560 That's a problem.

00:10:15.080 I'm dealing

00:10:15.760 with a problem.

00:10:17.100 Your problem.

00:10:17.940 I'm solving it for you.

00:10:19.600 Let's see you do it.

00:10:21.840 You solve the problem

00:10:23.140 for me,

00:10:23.540 and I won't solve it.

00:10:26.580 So that's how I would

00:10:27.840 have handled it.

00:10:28.400 How many of you

00:10:30.480 were bullied in school?

00:10:33.640 In the comments.

00:10:35.680 How many of you

00:10:36.520 were bullied in school?

00:10:40.900 Lots of yeses.

00:10:43.020 Seen some no's.

00:10:44.800 Isn't everyone?

00:10:45.780 Yeah,

00:10:46.020 somebody said

00:10:46.380 isn't everyone.

00:10:47.060 It's pretty much

00:10:47.600 universal, right?

00:10:49.000 Close to it.

00:10:50.160 The people who say no

00:10:51.360 were probably large

00:10:53.000 or muscular

00:10:55.140 or something.

00:10:55.680 Well,

00:10:56.880 I got this advice

00:10:57.700 from one of my

00:10:59.740 Twitter friends,

00:11:01.720 Mark Lobliner.

00:11:03.620 He said that

00:11:04.380 the way he dealt

00:11:06.000 with it as a parent

00:11:06.900 was to talk to

00:11:08.540 the parents

00:11:09.040 of the bullies.

00:11:10.960 He would call

00:11:11.640 a personal meeting

00:11:12.760 with the parents

00:11:13.460 of the bullies.

00:11:14.740 What do you think

00:11:15.280 of that idea?

00:11:16.740 Have a personal meeting

00:11:17.960 with the parents

00:11:18.720 of the bullies.

00:11:21.340 I'm looking

00:11:22.020 at your comments.

00:11:23.940 Some people say

00:11:24.700 bad,

00:11:25.120 some good,

00:11:25.960 a little bit mixed

00:11:27.600 idea in that,

00:11:28.360 right?

00:11:28.940 Well,

00:11:29.440 here's some context.

00:11:31.340 Mark is a bodybuilder.

00:11:35.180 Now what do you

00:11:35.880 think of the idea?

00:11:37.320 How would you like

00:11:38.120 a bodybuilder

00:11:38.820 showing up

00:11:39.260 at your front door

00:11:39.940 and your husband,

00:11:42.000 the accountant,

00:11:42.600 opens the door

00:11:43.260 and the bodybuilder

00:11:45.080 says to you

00:11:45.680 in completely

00:11:46.560 non-threatening tones,

00:11:48.680 well,

00:11:48.920 we have a problem

00:11:49.540 with your child.

00:11:51.240 Your child

00:11:51.740 is bullying

00:11:52.620 my child

00:11:53.340 and we're

00:11:54.640 going to make

00:11:54.940 that stop.

00:11:56.360 So tell me

00:11:57.060 what you're

00:11:57.480 going to do

00:11:57.900 to make

00:11:58.800 that stop.

00:12:00.660 Now imagine

00:12:01.340 you're the dad

00:12:02.060 and the guy

00:12:04.060 talking to you

00:12:04.780 could rip you

00:12:05.540 apart

00:12:05.980 in a heartbeat,

00:12:07.900 just could rip

00:12:08.540 your body apart.

00:12:11.320 But he's polite.

00:12:12.500 I mean,

00:12:12.660 he's not doing

00:12:13.080 any bullying.

00:12:13.660 He's just saying

00:12:14.100 we've got a problem.

00:12:14.820 What are you

00:12:15.280 going to do

00:12:15.560 about it?

00:12:15.940 Now I would argue

00:12:17.200 that maybe

00:12:17.600 this is a terrific

00:12:18.720 idea if you're

00:12:20.060 Mark.

00:12:21.580 This is probably

00:12:22.380 a really good

00:12:22.960 strategy if you're

00:12:24.480 physically intimidating

00:12:25.560 and you don't use

00:12:27.200 the intimidation.

00:12:28.100 You just,

00:12:28.740 you know,

00:12:28.900 it just exists

00:12:29.720 but you're not

00:12:30.640 using it.

00:12:31.360 That would be

00:12:31.720 a good strategy.

00:12:33.240 I'll tell you

00:12:33.860 the strategy I used.

00:12:34.800 I brought a weapon

00:12:35.400 to school.

00:12:37.000 Don't recommend it.

00:12:39.160 But I had

00:12:39.800 some bullying

00:12:40.340 problems so I just

00:12:41.200 brought a weapon

00:12:41.900 to school

00:12:42.340 and took care of it.

00:12:43.640 Now the weapon

00:12:44.140 was a club

00:12:45.000 which because

00:12:47.380 because I was

00:12:48.760 on path to be

00:12:50.180 valedictorian

00:12:50.920 at my school

00:12:52.020 at the time

00:12:52.560 which was sort

00:12:54.160 of well known.

00:12:54.800 People expected

00:12:55.400 I would be

00:12:56.300 either one or two

00:12:57.680 or something like that.

00:12:59.080 And so the way

00:12:59.600 I was treated

00:13:00.280 was the opposite

00:13:02.380 of discrimination.

00:13:04.780 So I actually

00:13:05.700 walked down the hall

00:13:06.760 with a weapon

00:13:07.700 in my hand.

00:13:08.920 Now what would

00:13:09.700 have happened

00:13:10.140 if the principal

00:13:11.780 had said,

00:13:12.300 hey,

00:13:13.000 you can't bring

00:13:13.500 a weapon to school.

00:13:14.360 You literally

00:13:15.260 have a club

00:13:15.960 in your hand

00:13:17.580 walking down

00:13:18.120 the hall.

00:13:18.840 You can't do that.

00:13:20.740 If I'd been called in

00:13:21.840 what would I have

00:13:22.440 said to the principal?

00:13:25.340 I'm doing your job.

00:13:27.740 Your job

00:13:28.400 is to keep me safe.

00:13:30.320 Didn't do it.

00:13:32.040 Now I'm going

00:13:32.600 to do it.

00:13:33.740 So I took the club

00:13:34.800 and I beat my bully

00:13:35.640 with it

00:13:36.100 in the hallway

00:13:36.880 in front of

00:13:37.520 as many people

00:13:38.220 as we're walking

00:13:39.860 around.

00:13:40.220 It was lunchtime.

00:13:41.400 It's the last time

00:13:42.060 you bothered me.

00:13:42.580 Now in the old days

00:13:44.880 that's the way

00:13:45.540 we did it.

00:13:46.320 I don't recommend

00:13:46.920 it in the new days.

00:13:47.740 In the new days

00:13:48.260 you'd probably

00:13:48.560 go to jail

00:13:49.060 for that sort of thing.

00:13:50.300 In the old days

00:13:50.960 you could be somebody

00:13:51.940 half to death

00:13:52.880 and you just had

00:13:54.180 a good reason

00:13:54.720 and you'd be fine.

00:13:56.220 Literally,

00:13:56.720 if you just had

00:13:57.220 a good reason.

00:13:58.680 You know,

00:13:58.880 where I grew up,

00:13:59.620 oh,

00:14:00.200 you had a good reason?

00:14:01.140 Oh, okay.

00:14:02.260 That'd be the end of it.

00:14:04.520 So I don't recommend

00:14:05.500 this, by the way.

00:14:06.460 Don't do violence

00:14:07.560 in 2021.

00:14:08.560 It's not going

00:14:08.920 to work out.

00:14:09.300 But there are lots

00:14:10.760 of ways to handle

00:14:11.320 these situations.

00:14:13.740 I'd like to teach you

00:14:14.740 now how analogies work.

00:14:17.740 Now,

00:14:18.160 this came from

00:14:19.060 a situation

00:14:20.020 that I was in myself.

00:14:22.840 All right?

00:14:23.360 I'm going to start

00:14:23.940 generically

00:14:24.560 to teach you

00:14:25.420 how analogies work

00:14:26.480 and then I'm going

00:14:27.800 to tell you

00:14:28.180 what trouble

00:14:28.620 I got into

00:14:29.340 being a dumbass

00:14:32.000 and using an analogy.

00:14:34.420 All right?

00:14:35.300 So we're going

00:14:36.020 to start with the lesson

00:14:37.020 and then I'll make

00:14:38.180 it applicable

00:14:38.660 to the headlines.

00:14:41.460 All right.

00:14:42.380 Let's say

00:14:43.060 somebody says to you

00:14:44.840 that there's

00:14:46.480 a particular automobile

00:14:47.740 that's very fast.

00:14:49.560 And to make that case,

00:14:50.640 they say,

00:14:51.860 this new Porsche,

00:14:52.900 let's say it's a Porsche,

00:14:54.280 it's like a cheetah.

00:14:56.560 This Porsche is

00:14:57.560 like a cheetah.

00:15:00.020 Now,

00:15:01.240 if you do not

00:15:02.920 have cognitive dissonance,

00:15:05.080 how do you interpret

00:15:06.000 this car,

00:15:08.220 it's like a cheetah?

00:15:10.400 All right?

00:15:10.680 If there's no

00:15:11.240 cognitive dissonance,

00:15:12.300 you handle that

00:15:12.840 pretty well,

00:15:13.340 don't you?

00:15:14.120 You say to yourself,

00:15:15.000 oh, I get it.

00:15:16.320 This is a person

00:15:17.200 who's saying

00:15:17.640 that a car

00:15:18.200 is very fast,

00:15:19.220 maybe even one

00:15:19.920 of the fastest

00:15:20.540 of the cars

00:15:21.300 because the cheetah

00:15:22.560 is the fastest

00:15:23.180 of the animals.

00:15:24.900 If it's like a cheetah,

00:15:25.720 it's probably

00:15:26.060 one of the fastest cars.

00:15:27.420 It's simple, right?

00:15:29.000 No problem.

00:15:30.440 Everybody understands

00:15:31.420 a good analogy.

00:15:33.620 Right?

00:15:34.020 Now, here's the problem.

00:15:36.700 It works really well

00:15:38.100 if you're talking

00:15:38.600 about cars

00:15:39.420 because nobody

00:15:40.980 really has

00:15:41.460 a different opinion

00:15:42.640 about cars.

00:15:43.880 If it's fast,

00:15:44.900 it's fast.

00:15:45.460 Okay, it's a fast car.

00:15:46.780 But when you get

00:15:47.500 into politics

00:15:48.240 and social stuff,

00:15:50.320 everybody has

00:15:50.860 different opinions.

00:15:52.180 So if you give

00:15:53.140 somebody an analogy

00:15:54.040 that challenges

00:15:55.760 their opinion,

00:15:56.840 what happens?

00:15:58.080 Let's say

00:15:58.480 it's a good analogy

00:15:59.740 that makes a point

00:16:01.060 that challenges

00:16:01.620 their opinion.

00:16:02.140 So it actually

00:16:02.980 does challenge

00:16:04.460 the opinion.

00:16:04.840 What happens?

00:16:06.200 Well, if you've

00:16:07.100 been following me

00:16:08.280 for a while

00:16:08.720 or if you've studied

00:16:10.220 psychology on your own,

00:16:11.320 you know that what happens

00:16:12.200 is cognitive dissonance.

00:16:14.940 So if somebody

00:16:16.140 disagrees with you

00:16:17.040 with a good reason

00:16:18.020 and you don't want

00:16:19.680 to change your mind

00:16:20.600 because you're so sure

00:16:21.600 you were right,

00:16:22.200 but that is a good reason,

00:16:24.680 you get triggered

00:16:25.760 into a hallucination,

00:16:27.000 essentially.

00:16:27.280 And you start

00:16:28.640 to imagine things

00:16:29.700 that aren't there.

00:16:30.640 That's what

00:16:31.820 the cognitive dissonance

00:16:32.820 does.

00:16:33.560 And that imagination

00:16:34.260 is what papers

00:16:35.660 together your

00:16:36.400 inconsistent world.

00:16:38.420 So it's the

00:16:39.020 papering part

00:16:39.820 that's the cognitive

00:16:40.600 weird part.

00:16:42.360 And so what you do

00:16:43.820 is say,

00:16:44.280 Scott,

00:16:45.460 that's a bad take

00:16:46.620 because you just

00:16:48.060 compared,

00:16:49.000 you dumbass,

00:16:50.420 you just compared,

00:16:51.560 oh my God,

00:16:53.180 facepalm,

00:16:54.300 facepalm.

00:16:54.640 Facepalm.

00:16:56.040 Seriously?

00:16:57.160 You just compared

00:16:58.180 an animal to a car.

00:17:01.320 Where's the carburetor

00:17:02.420 on the cheetah?

00:17:03.800 Seriously, Scott,

00:17:05.320 find me the carburetor

00:17:06.620 on the cheetah

00:17:07.740 and then I'll maybe

00:17:09.100 think you're making sense.

00:17:10.720 But do you understand

00:17:11.780 the animals and cars

00:17:13.820 aren't the same?

00:17:15.500 I mean, my God,

00:17:16.860 you fool. 0.88

00:17:18.880 Okay, that was

00:17:19.680 a forehead palm.

00:17:21.160 You...

00:17:21.780 So,

00:17:25.820 cognitive dissonance

00:17:28.120 will cause you

00:17:29.120 to question

00:17:29.880 the details

00:17:30.760 that are different

00:17:31.580 between the two things

00:17:33.260 in your analogy.

00:17:36.400 This is how you know

00:17:37.500 it's cognitive dissonance.

00:17:39.240 Because it isn't

00:17:40.100 really hard to understand

00:17:41.480 that the real point

00:17:43.260 is the speed.

00:17:44.780 It's actually

00:17:45.520 pretty easy

00:17:46.000 to understand.

00:17:47.060 And if you don't

00:17:47.880 understand something

00:17:48.640 that easy

00:17:49.260 and instead

00:17:50.560 you're saying,

00:17:51.160 ah,

00:17:51.720 but

00:17:52.080 one has pause

00:17:54.540 and one has

00:17:55.880 wheels,

00:17:56.960 stupid. 0.90

00:17:58.680 How do you compare

00:17:59.460 something with pause

00:18:00.580 to something

00:18:01.580 with wheels?

00:18:02.960 All right,

00:18:03.140 if you're talking

00:18:03.640 like that,

00:18:04.660 you're experiencing

00:18:05.740 cognitive dissonance.

00:18:08.060 All right.

00:18:09.840 So,

00:18:10.500 what was my example

00:18:11.840 that got me in trouble?

00:18:13.240 Was it about cheetahs

00:18:14.520 and cars?

00:18:15.700 No.

00:18:16.220 It was not about

00:18:19.020 something harmless,

00:18:20.740 which you all

00:18:21.900 would have understand,

00:18:22.720 because you certainly

00:18:23.820 understand easy

00:18:25.060 analogies.

00:18:27.320 I did something

00:18:28.560 very dumb.

00:18:30.680 Very dumb.

00:18:34.800 Dumbass?

00:18:36.140 Me.

00:18:41.280 Dumbass?

00:18:42.780 Me.

00:18:43.200 All right.

00:18:45.660 Are we all on board

00:18:46.660 that what I'm going

00:18:47.380 to talk about next

00:18:48.160 is me making a mistake?

00:18:49.640 I do this for the benefit

00:18:51.540 of those of you

00:18:52.960 who say,

00:18:54.300 Scott,

00:18:54.940 you never admit

00:18:56.140 when you make a mistake.

00:18:58.100 Yeah,

00:18:58.380 I do.

00:18:59.740 I might admit

00:19:00.960 when I make a mistake

00:19:01.800 literally more

00:19:02.860 than any human

00:19:03.720 being alive,

00:19:05.280 public figures anyway.

00:19:06.860 I literally wrote

00:19:07.800 a book on it,

00:19:09.020 a book with all

00:19:09.880 the mistakes I made.

00:19:11.620 On a regular basis,

00:19:13.820 I go in front

00:19:14.880 of the whatever world

00:19:16.460 is watching me

00:19:17.100 and tell you exactly

00:19:18.000 what I got wrong.

00:19:20.020 Fairly regularly.

00:19:21.680 And I'm doing it

00:19:22.540 again right now,

00:19:23.340 okay?

00:19:24.620 And tomorrow

00:19:25.760 somebody will say,

00:19:26.380 you know,

00:19:27.040 the thing I hate

00:19:27.700 about you most

00:19:28.280 is you never

00:19:28.740 admit you're wrong.

00:19:30.440 The world we live in.

00:19:31.780 All right?

00:19:32.640 So,

00:19:33.280 here's the mistake

00:19:34.120 I made.

00:19:36.220 I said,

00:19:38.060 in a,

00:19:38.600 just an offhand

00:19:39.460 comment,

00:19:40.100 in a tweet,

00:19:40.620 it was just

00:19:40.940 a tweet reply,

00:19:42.620 so I didn't put

00:19:43.180 much thought

00:19:44.140 into it,

00:19:44.960 and I did

00:19:45.480 something dumb.

00:19:46.160 I used an analogy

00:19:47.840 in a political

00:19:49.160 conversation.

00:19:50.580 If you put an

00:19:51.600 analogy in a

00:19:52.980 political conversation,

00:19:54.700 what happens?

00:19:56.960 Cognitive distance.

00:19:58.800 And so,

00:19:59.700 when I said,

00:20:01.040 when somebody

00:20:01.520 was saying,

00:20:02.160 hey,

00:20:02.340 we don't want

00:20:02.800 the government

00:20:03.260 mandating these

00:20:04.240 vaccines,

00:20:04.900 which,

00:20:05.240 by the way,

00:20:05.520 I agree with,

00:20:07.160 hold on,

00:20:07.800 stop,

00:20:08.860 I agree with

00:20:09.820 the point.

00:20:11.120 I don't want

00:20:11.920 the government

00:20:12.400 mandating

00:20:13.080 vaccinations,

00:20:14.160 at least

00:20:16.200 the COVID

00:20:16.600 vaccinations.

00:20:18.160 But I said,

00:20:19.500 hey,

00:20:19.780 do you wear

00:20:20.380 C-

00:20:20.900 cognitive

00:20:24.220 dissonance?

00:20:25.820 How would

00:20:26.520 you interpret

00:20:27.060 the analogy

00:20:28.380 where somebody

00:20:30.000 was talking

00:20:30.440 about vaccine

00:20:31.200 mandates and

00:20:31.820 they don't

00:20:32.160 want them,

00:20:33.080 and I don't

00:20:33.760 want them

00:20:34.080 either,

00:20:35.160 right?

00:20:35.460 So we're

00:20:35.800 on the same

00:20:36.200 page.

00:20:38.140 And I said

00:20:38.920 to that other

00:20:39.440 person who was

00:20:40.040 complaining,

00:20:40.680 I said,

00:20:40.840 hey,

00:20:41.060 do you wear

00:20:41.420 C-

00:20:41.660 belts?

00:20:41.880 Here's the

00:20:44.160 correct way

00:20:44.740 to interpret

00:20:45.260 that.

00:20:47.120 The seat

00:20:47.560 belts are 0.68

00:20:48.260 mandated by

00:20:48.920 the government,

00:20:50.740 and vaccinations

00:20:51.260 are mandated

00:20:52.020 by the government.

00:20:53.620 And that we

00:20:54.100 live in a world

00:20:54.840 where the

00:20:55.400 government mandates

00:20:56.180 all kinds of

00:20:56.820 things for your

00:20:57.480 body.

00:20:58.260 They can draft

00:20:59.300 you,

00:20:59.740 they can put

00:21:00.160 you in jail

00:21:00.700 for not paying

00:21:01.980 your taxes,

00:21:02.840 they can shoot

00:21:03.500 you for committing

00:21:04.180 crimes.

00:21:05.540 The government

00:21:06.180 completely controls

00:21:07.300 your body already,

00:21:08.540 which was the

00:21:09.060 point.

00:21:09.260 Now,

00:21:11.240 why do I

00:21:12.840 say that?

00:21:13.440 If I agree

00:21:14.080 that I don't

00:21:15.280 want a mandate,

00:21:17.080 why would I

00:21:17.800 be telling

00:21:18.260 somebody,

00:21:19.500 the government

00:21:20.020 already mandates

00:21:20.920 all kinds of

00:21:21.480 things for your

00:21:22.000 body?

00:21:22.880 Sounds

00:21:23.240 inconsistent,

00:21:24.020 doesn't it?

00:21:25.140 It's not

00:21:25.680 inconsistent,

00:21:27.220 it's context.

00:21:29.120 Context is

00:21:29.960 never wrong.

00:21:31.720 Context is

00:21:32.700 not an argument,

00:21:34.240 context doesn't

00:21:35.160 prove a case,

00:21:36.480 it's just

00:21:36.900 useful.

00:21:37.280 And it's

00:21:38.640 useful to

00:21:39.260 me to

00:21:40.400 know that

00:21:40.920 the question

00:21:41.500 of whether

00:21:42.020 the government

00:21:42.740 can control

00:21:43.760 your body

00:21:44.280 is settled.

00:21:45.820 It is

00:21:46.540 settled.

00:21:47.740 The government

00:21:48.260 can and

00:21:49.280 will control

00:21:50.400 your body,

00:21:51.740 often in

00:21:52.520 ways you

00:21:52.860 don't like.

00:21:54.240 Should they

00:21:54.700 do it in

00:21:55.100 this specific

00:21:55.760 case?

00:21:56.460 Well,

00:21:56.780 that's something

00:21:57.340 to talk

00:21:57.760 about.

00:21:59.060 So if you're

00:21:59.720 talking about

00:22:00.040 this specific

00:22:00.720 case,

00:22:01.180 yeah,

00:22:01.520 let's talk

00:22:01.980 about that,

00:22:02.600 and I'm

00:22:02.920 on your

00:22:03.160 side if you

00:22:03.820 don't want

00:22:04.100 to mandate.

00:22:04.400 But if

00:22:05.820 you're

00:22:05.960 talking about

00:22:06.480 the larger

00:22:06.960 question,

00:22:07.960 can the

00:22:08.300 government

00:22:08.620 mandate

00:22:09.140 something that

00:22:10.140 goes right

00:22:10.860 to your

00:22:11.200 health and

00:22:11.800 safety?

00:22:12.460 Yes.

00:22:13.320 Yeah.

00:22:13.760 They can

00:22:14.100 draft your

00:22:14.620 ass and 0.99

00:22:15.040 send you to

00:22:15.480 another country

00:22:16.080 where you

00:22:16.400 get shot

00:22:16.840 by a

00:22:17.140 stranger.

00:22:18.300 They can

00:22:18.640 do that.

00:22:19.720 They have

00:22:20.380 all that

00:22:20.700 power,

00:22:21.200 and they

00:22:21.620 use it

00:22:21.920 all the

00:22:22.160 time when

00:22:22.720 they think

00:22:23.040 it's a

00:22:23.320 good idea.

00:22:24.240 Should you

00:22:24.620 push back

00:22:25.180 sometimes?

00:22:26.220 Yeah,

00:22:26.420 of course.

00:22:27.340 Of course

00:22:27.700 the public

00:22:28.120 should push

00:22:28.580 back.

00:22:29.380 Absolutely.

00:22:30.360 But the

00:22:30.580 only point

00:22:31.500 to the

00:22:31.740 seatbelts is

00:22:32.360 there was

00:22:32.640 one example

00:22:33.340 and of

00:22:33.800 thousands I

00:22:34.680 could have

00:22:34.940 given from

00:22:36.200 getting drafted

00:22:38.020 to you

00:22:38.640 can't drink

00:22:39.380 and drive

00:22:39.900 to God

00:22:40.520 knows what.

00:22:41.980 So it was

00:22:42.380 just one of

00:22:42.940 the many

00:22:43.220 examples.

00:22:43.680 The only

00:22:43.860 thing you

00:22:44.140 should have

00:22:44.420 taken from

00:22:44.940 it is that

00:22:45.660 the government

00:22:46.620 already controls

00:22:47.480 your body.

00:22:48.480 Now,

00:22:49.520 having defended

00:22:50.780 what I said,

00:22:52.660 did I just

00:22:53.300 tell you that

00:22:53.840 I'm right

00:22:54.320 after all?

00:22:55.420 Because I

00:22:55.760 just defended it.

00:22:56.560 Hey,

00:22:57.160 what's wrong

00:22:57.760 with you

00:22:58.400 for not

00:22:59.340 understanding

00:22:59.900 my analogy?

00:23:01.020 Nope.

00:23:01.720 Nope.

00:23:02.680 No.

00:23:03.240 This was

00:23:03.600 my mistake.

00:23:05.200 My mistake

00:23:06.180 was using

00:23:06.840 an analogy

00:23:07.560 carelessly

00:23:08.480 in a

00:23:09.720 political

00:23:10.140 conversation.

00:23:11.660 As a

00:23:12.380 communicator,

00:23:13.420 I give

00:23:14.320 myself an

00:23:14.960 F.

00:23:16.180 Because I

00:23:17.000 caused a

00:23:17.520 whole bunch

00:23:17.900 of people

00:23:18.300 who are

00:23:18.660 completely

00:23:19.320 in agreement

00:23:19.980 with me

00:23:20.540 to say

00:23:22.560 on social

00:23:23.060 media,

00:23:23.620 I have a

00:23:23.960 bad take.

00:23:24.620 people who

00:23:26.940 completely

00:23:27.380 agree with

00:23:27.940 me,

00:23:28.200 just on

00:23:28.520 this minor

00:23:29.120 point about

00:23:29.980 mandates,

00:23:30.980 completely

00:23:31.400 agree with

00:23:31.880 me.

00:23:32.760 But they

00:23:33.100 saw the

00:23:33.460 analogy and

00:23:34.160 they decided

00:23:34.680 that the

00:23:35.400 analogy was

00:23:36.100 working against

00:23:36.880 their point,

00:23:37.880 which it

00:23:38.640 does,

00:23:39.720 but it

00:23:40.160 doesn't work

00:23:40.760 against their

00:23:41.420 point enough

00:23:42.240 to change

00:23:43.460 their mind

00:23:44.000 or mine.

00:23:45.480 So I'm

00:23:46.060 giving you

00:23:46.460 point and

00:23:47.100 counterpoint

00:23:47.640 because I

00:23:48.060 like to

00:23:48.320 show you

00:23:48.560 the whole

00:23:48.820 story.

00:23:49.780 But it

00:23:50.120 didn't change

00:23:50.520 my opinion.

00:23:51.840 The fact

00:23:52.240 that this

00:23:52.620 works against

00:23:53.300 my own

00:23:53.960 point of

00:23:55.320 view,

00:23:56.240 it's just

00:23:57.040 context.

00:24:00.240 And there.

00:24:02.540 Was that

00:24:03.120 anything that

00:24:03.960 was useful?

00:24:06.440 I don't know.

00:24:07.760 Maybe that

00:24:08.240 was just

00:24:08.540 for me.

00:24:10.720 There's a

00:24:11.180 oh,

00:24:12.780 here's an

00:24:13.200 interesting

00:24:14.260 news.

00:24:15.480 Apparently

00:24:15.860 CNN anchor

00:24:16.660 Jake Tapper

00:24:17.780 was talking

00:24:19.540 about President

00:24:20.020 Biden's poll

00:24:21.100 numbers are

00:24:21.660 down to

00:24:22.180 even in the

00:24:23.180 Quinnipiac

00:24:23.860 poll,

00:24:26.580 down from

00:24:27.380 he had

00:24:27.680 been in

00:24:28.020 the 50s

00:24:29.100 in approval

00:24:30.360 and is now

00:24:30.860 down to

00:24:31.160 38%,

00:24:31.880 which even

00:24:32.500 Jake Tapper

00:24:33.060 calls,

00:24:34.340 quote,

00:24:35.220 brutal.

00:24:36.640 Brutal.

00:24:39.620 And

00:24:40.140 so I

00:24:43.920 guess

00:24:44.120 everybody's

00:24:44.620 noticed.

00:24:45.600 Now I'm

00:24:46.060 going to

00:24:46.780 tie this

00:24:49.140 into another

00:24:49.660 thing I was

00:24:50.080 going to talk

00:24:50.400 about later,

00:24:50.860 but I'm

00:24:51.340 going to

00:24:51.480 tie it in

00:24:51.940 now,

00:24:52.220 which is

00:24:52.660 don't you

00:24:54.320 love it

00:24:54.580 when people

00:24:55.980 are talking

00:24:56.700 in public

00:24:57.120 and they

00:24:57.540 give you

00:24:57.840 their internal

00:24:58.540 thought process

00:24:59.380 and you're

00:24:59.900 thinking to

00:25:00.280 yourself,

00:25:00.720 don't need

00:25:01.440 that.

00:25:02.480 Don't need

00:25:03.020 you to tell

00:25:03.400 me why

00:25:03.840 you're going

00:25:04.120 to talk

00:25:04.400 about the

00:25:04.700 next thing.

00:25:05.580 Just do it.

00:25:07.180 We won't

00:25:07.680 even need to

00:25:08.200 know your

00:25:08.500 internal

00:25:08.880 thought process.

00:25:09.880 But have

00:25:14.100 you noticed

00:25:14.480 that, so

00:25:15.620 Biden's poll

00:25:16.240 numbers are

00:25:16.720 in the

00:25:16.940 toilet and

00:25:17.620 a lot of

00:25:18.260 things are

00:25:18.580 going wrong,

00:25:19.180 right?

00:25:19.920 Now, look

00:25:21.720 at the

00:25:22.040 news coverage

00:25:22.720 of Trump

00:25:23.660 today.

00:25:26.080 The news

00:25:26.920 coverage of

00:25:27.580 Trump today.

00:25:28.200 What does

00:25:28.500 it focus

00:25:29.020 on?

00:25:30.920 Which part

00:25:31.820 of all,

00:25:32.520 everything that

00:25:33.120 we know about

00:25:33.700 Trump are

00:25:34.400 they focusing

00:25:35.000 on now?

00:25:36.640 Well, they're

00:25:37.360 focusing on

00:25:37.920 January 6th.

00:25:39.300 and whatever

00:25:40.160 role Trump

00:25:41.120 had in

00:25:41.520 that.

00:25:42.860 Now, what

00:25:44.220 did January

00:25:44.820 6th have to

00:25:45.700 do with

00:25:46.240 Trump's, let's 0.90

00:25:47.460 say, job

00:25:48.140 description?

00:25:49.980 In other

00:25:50.500 words, where

00:25:53.060 does it say

00:25:53.620 in the job

00:25:54.220 of the

00:25:54.440 president, you

00:25:55.660 know, do

00:25:56.060 something about

00:25:56.860 the protesters

00:25:57.960 going to the

00:25:59.540 Capitol or

00:26:00.020 something?

00:26:00.660 It sort of

00:26:01.200 was outside

00:26:02.460 of his general

00:26:03.240 job description,

00:26:04.340 right?

00:26:04.880 It's something

00:26:05.320 he did, and

00:26:06.040 of course, he

00:26:07.400 had a role in

00:26:08.040 it, and it

00:26:08.680 was, it

00:26:09.280 was important,

00:26:10.240 but not

00:26:10.980 really what

00:26:11.660 you think

00:26:12.020 of as the

00:26:13.260 job of

00:26:13.800 president.

00:26:14.900 Why is it

00:26:15.740 that all of

00:26:16.580 the focus

00:26:17.040 on Trump

00:26:17.660 in terms

00:26:18.680 of criticism

00:26:19.300 is not

00:26:20.680 about the

00:26:21.100 four years

00:26:21.680 he was

00:26:21.940 president,

00:26:22.820 but rather

00:26:24.120 the first

00:26:25.080 day he

00:26:25.480 wasn't?

00:26:27.880 Think

00:26:28.400 about it.

00:26:29.360 All of

00:26:29.960 the criticism

00:26:30.580 of Trump

00:26:31.180 today is

00:26:34.000 about when

00:26:34.460 he wasn't

00:26:34.960 president.

00:26:35.360 president.

00:26:37.240 Why?

00:26:39.240 Because if

00:26:39.800 you compare

00:26:40.340 him on

00:26:40.700 policy, policy

00:26:41.880 to policy

00:26:42.520 with Biden,

00:26:44.540 he runs

00:26:45.160 the table.

00:26:46.720 He runs

00:26:47.520 the table

00:26:48.020 on policy.

00:26:50.040 Name

00:26:50.280 something that

00:26:50.900 somebody in

00:26:53.400 the middle

00:26:53.700 of the

00:26:53.940 country, not

00:26:54.600 somebody on

00:26:55.060 the far

00:26:55.300 left or

00:26:55.680 the far

00:26:55.920 right, but

00:26:56.600 just say a

00:26:57.100 mainstream

00:26:57.440 voter.

00:26:58.920 Let's say

00:26:59.340 an independent,

00:27:00.400 an independent

00:27:01.260 who could go

00:27:01.860 either way.

00:27:03.240 What's an

00:27:03.900 independent

00:27:04.380 supposed to

00:27:04.940 make of the

00:27:05.340 fact that

00:27:06.260 they're not

00:27:06.580 even going to

00:27:07.540 compare Biden

00:27:08.340 and Trump

00:27:08.780 policy to

00:27:09.440 policy because

00:27:10.740 it doesn't

00:27:11.120 work out?

00:27:13.100 You could

00:27:13.740 make an

00:27:14.040 argument that

00:27:14.640 Trump was

00:27:15.260 better on

00:27:15.760 everything at

00:27:16.740 this point.

00:27:17.840 I mean, if

00:27:18.260 you had some

00:27:18.740 specific, you

00:27:19.740 know, liberal

00:27:20.660 issues, you

00:27:22.160 know, some

00:27:22.460 EOs that got

00:27:23.340 reversed or

00:27:24.040 something, maybe

00:27:24.540 you like that.

00:27:25.920 But to me, it

00:27:27.800 looks like Trump

00:27:29.060 ran the table

00:27:29.920 policy to

00:27:31.360 policy.

00:27:33.080 Right?

00:27:33.460 Afghanistan,

00:27:34.520 Trump.

00:27:36.320 Right?

00:27:42.160 Now, of

00:27:42.820 course, you

00:27:43.300 know, that's

00:27:43.980 subject to

00:27:44.540 great argument,

00:27:45.480 but I would

00:27:45.960 say that the

00:27:46.600 left has

00:27:47.200 conceded the

00:27:48.680 policy argument.

00:27:50.840 It feels like

00:27:51.520 the left has

00:27:52.120 conceded that

00:27:53.600 Trump was just

00:27:54.220 better on

00:27:54.620 policy because

00:27:55.440 if he wasn't,

00:27:56.940 what the hell

00:27:57.440 would they be

00:27:57.940 talking about?

00:27:58.540 They'd be

00:27:58.780 talking about

00:27:59.200 all the mistakes

00:27:59.840 he made that

00:28:00.340 Biden corrected,

00:28:01.140 right?

00:28:01.280 The news

00:28:02.600 would be

00:28:02.940 nothing but,

00:28:04.740 man, that

00:28:05.980 Trump sure

00:28:06.520 screwed things

00:28:07.240 up, but good

00:28:08.480 thing Biden

00:28:09.000 straightened it

00:28:09.600 out.

00:28:10.820 Where's that

00:28:11.460 story?

00:28:12.480 Doesn't exist.

00:28:14.220 So, if you

00:28:15.980 don't think

00:28:16.420 Trump can win

00:28:17.100 in 2024, my

00:28:19.320 God, it's

00:28:19.820 starting to

00:28:20.260 look easy.

00:28:21.820 And the

00:28:22.520 only thing

00:28:22.960 that the

00:28:23.480 critics have

00:28:24.340 now is to

00:28:25.160 scare you

00:28:25.820 about the

00:28:26.800 January 6th

00:28:27.580 thing and

00:28:28.000 turn it

00:28:28.320 into a

00:28:28.740 he's a

00:28:29.480 dictator and

00:28:30.200 waiting and

00:28:30.900 stuff like

00:28:31.540 that.

00:28:32.100 I don't

00:28:32.600 think anything

00:28:33.080 looks less

00:28:33.740 dictatorish than

00:28:35.320 what happened

00:28:35.860 on January 6th.

00:28:37.900 I mean, that's

00:28:38.420 the least

00:28:39.040 dictatorish thing

00:28:40.100 I've ever

00:28:40.460 seen.

00:28:41.460 And it

00:28:42.020 wasn't close.

00:28:43.520 It wasn't

00:28:43.860 like the

00:28:44.700 government

00:28:45.000 almost got

00:28:45.600 taken over

00:28:46.180 or something

00:28:46.560 like that.

00:28:48.600 All right.

00:28:50.960 I would go

00:28:52.180 so far as to

00:28:52.860 say that the

00:28:53.480 current coverage

00:28:54.400 of Trump,

00:28:55.140 given that

00:28:55.660 he's not

00:28:56.120 even in the

00:28:56.880 race yet,

00:28:57.520 although we

00:28:57.900 expect he

00:28:58.300 will be,

00:28:59.080 is like a

00:29:00.060 Trump vaccination.

00:29:01.980 So I feel

00:29:02.500 like the news

00:29:03.300 from the left

00:29:03.900 is trying to

00:29:04.480 vaccinate the 0.98

00:29:05.220 country against

00:29:05.900 Trump by

00:29:07.180 talking about

00:29:07.900 January 6th

00:29:08.640 over and over

00:29:09.180 and making

00:29:09.740 that the

00:29:10.120 story, because

00:29:10.620 it's all they

00:29:11.000 have.

00:29:11.720 So the only

00:29:12.140 way they can

00:29:12.600 vaccinate you 0.56

00:29:13.260 is to go

00:29:13.700 after the

00:29:14.100 spike protein

00:29:14.880 of the

00:29:15.540 Trump

00:29:16.160 experience,

00:29:16.920 which is

00:29:17.240 January 6th.

00:29:19.040 I'm just

00:29:19.620 quite proud of

00:29:20.380 what I just

00:29:20.880 did there.

00:29:22.240 Can we take

00:29:22.740 a moment?

00:29:23.080 Can we take

00:29:24.460 a moment

00:29:24.780 to revel

00:29:26.040 in the

00:29:27.740 clever analogy

00:29:28.660 I just

00:29:29.300 used?

00:29:30.280 What?

00:29:30.920 He used

00:29:31.240 an analogy?

00:29:32.400 He never

00:29:32.940 learns.

00:29:33.680 No, he

00:29:34.040 never learns.

00:29:36.040 But yes,

00:29:37.480 January 6th

00:29:38.180 is the

00:29:38.560 spike protein

00:29:39.560 that they're

00:29:41.460 trying to

00:29:41.820 vaccinate you 0.56

00:29:42.320 with.

00:29:42.600 All right.

00:29:46.820 Here's

00:29:47.380 the best

00:29:49.800 argument that

00:29:50.560 vaccinations

00:29:51.160 work.

00:29:52.460 I saw

00:29:52.840 this in a

00:29:53.360 viral clip.

00:29:54.980 There was

00:29:55.160 a nurse

00:29:55.600 explaining the

00:29:57.000 best evidence

00:29:58.160 that the

00:29:58.780 vaccinations

00:29:59.380 work.

00:30:01.080 Okay?

00:30:02.000 Do you think

00:30:02.820 that I'm

00:30:03.360 going to give

00:30:03.680 you a good

00:30:04.240 explanation that

00:30:05.640 is going to

00:30:06.120 convince you?

00:30:07.080 Let's say

00:30:07.540 those of you

00:30:08.200 who are

00:30:08.520 sort of

00:30:08.960 skeptical of

00:30:10.320 the vaccinations.

00:30:11.320 Do you

00:30:11.520 think that I

00:30:11.960 can say in

00:30:12.440 one sentence,

00:30:13.680 I'll be

00:30:14.180 quoting this

00:30:14.760 nurse,

00:30:15.460 roughly

00:30:15.800 quoting her,

00:30:16.940 do you

00:30:17.180 think I

00:30:17.480 can convince

00:30:18.200 you the

00:30:18.500 vaccinations

00:30:18.940 are safe

00:30:19.400 in one

00:30:19.820 sentence

00:30:20.280 that you

00:30:20.940 haven't heard

00:30:21.360 before?

00:30:21.700 Because I'm

00:30:24.940 going to

00:30:25.100 try to

00:30:25.380 do it.

00:30:26.620 Here's the

00:30:27.260 nurse's

00:30:27.760 explanation

00:30:28.360 of how

00:30:30.220 you can

00:30:30.560 know for

00:30:30.940 sure that

00:30:31.440 the

00:30:31.600 vaccinations

00:30:32.080 are safe

00:30:32.760 in one

00:30:33.900 sentence.

00:30:36.620 They were

00:30:37.240 given to

00:30:37.680 their rich

00:30:38.180 white people

00:30:38.680 first.

00:30:42.440 And I'm

00:30:43.100 done.

00:30:45.040 And I'm

00:30:45.640 done.

00:30:45.860 And as the

00:30:48.020 nurse says,

00:30:48.840 if we weren't

00:30:49.540 sure that they

00:30:50.120 would work,

00:30:51.260 we would

00:30:51.620 have given

00:30:51.920 them to

00:30:52.340 the black

00:30:53.120 and brown

00:30:53.480 population

00:30:54.080 first,

00:30:54.700 or poor

00:30:55.240 people in

00:30:55.700 general.

00:30:57.760 Now, I'm

00:30:58.920 not serious,

00:31:00.200 in case you

00:31:00.620 thought I

00:31:00.940 was.

00:31:01.700 That's not a

00:31:02.480 real argument.

00:31:04.000 But it does

00:31:04.880 raise a question,

00:31:05.640 doesn't it?

00:31:06.300 You know how

00:31:06.800 often I've said

00:31:07.420 to you,

00:31:07.800 follow the

00:31:08.260 money?

00:31:09.520 It's like,

00:31:09.920 well, that

00:31:10.800 shouldn't be so

00:31:11.840 predictive, but

00:31:12.580 why is it

00:31:13.160 always?

00:31:14.180 Why is it

00:31:14.860 always that

00:31:15.360 people have

00:31:15.820 the same

00:31:16.400 philosophical

00:31:17.960 preference

00:31:18.680 that just

00:31:19.960 happens to

00:31:20.420 match what

00:31:20.820 would make

00:31:21.140 them more

00:31:21.460 money?

00:31:22.720 Yes, our

00:31:23.420 philosophy tends

00:31:24.220 to match

00:31:24.680 exactly what

00:31:25.400 makes us

00:31:25.780 more money.

00:31:27.140 That's who

00:31:27.560 we are.

00:31:28.200 And then we

00:31:28.880 think we're

00:31:29.320 making a

00:31:29.860 philosophical

00:31:30.360 decision.

00:31:32.320 So, I'll

00:31:34.880 just put that

00:31:35.440 out there.

00:31:36.440 If the

00:31:36.920 elites had

00:31:39.960 any question

00:31:40.540 about the

00:31:40.980 vaccination,

00:31:42.200 they wouldn't

00:31:42.700 have given

00:31:43.040 it to

00:31:43.360 themselves

00:31:43.760 first.

00:31:44.320 I say

00:31:46.300 that

00:31:46.560 facetiously,

00:31:47.900 because sure

00:31:49.620 they might

00:31:50.000 have, but

00:31:50.520 it is a

00:31:51.900 funny comment.

00:31:53.180 It's a

00:31:53.640 funny comment

00:31:54.140 because it

00:31:54.560 makes you

00:31:54.800 think about

00:31:55.240 the whole

00:31:55.820 of how

00:31:57.520 everything

00:31:57.840 works.

00:31:58.880 That's what

00:31:59.200 I like

00:31:59.500 about it.

00:31:59.880 It's kind

00:32:00.440 of brilliant

00:32:00.780 that way.

00:32:02.340 All right.

00:32:04.220 How about

00:32:04.860 this for good

00:32:05.420 news?

00:32:07.000 Talk about

00:32:07.640 news that

00:32:08.200 gets buried.

00:32:10.120 There's a

00:32:10.680 malaria vaccine,

00:32:12.660 a vaccination

00:32:13.160 for malaria,

00:32:13.900 brand new,

00:32:15.600 that could 0.68

00:32:16.600 save somewhere

00:32:18.300 up to

00:32:18.800 400,000

00:32:19.700 lives per

00:32:20.260 year.

00:32:21.480 A malaria

00:32:22.000 vaccine.

00:32:23.420 So, here's

00:32:24.180 the part that

00:32:25.180 blew my

00:32:25.620 mind.

00:32:26.620 So, I

00:32:26.840 read a

00:32:27.200 story about

00:32:27.860 a new

00:32:28.200 malaria

00:32:29.160 vaccination,

00:32:30.420 which has

00:32:31.080 been tested

00:32:31.720 in trials

00:32:32.280 and did

00:32:32.640 well.

00:32:35.400 How long

00:32:36.440 has the

00:32:37.080 vaccination

00:32:37.600 been around?

00:32:41.300 I don't

00:32:41.900 know.

00:32:42.620 It wasn't

00:32:43.340 in the

00:32:43.660 story.

00:32:45.040 Don't you

00:32:45.580 think that

00:32:45.920 would be

00:32:46.400 kind of

00:32:47.660 important?

00:32:49.500 You know,

00:32:50.160 given that

00:32:50.600 all we're

00:32:51.000 talking about

00:32:51.440 with the

00:32:51.840 coronavirus

00:32:52.160 vaccination is

00:32:53.120 how long

00:32:53.540 it's been

00:32:54.020 tested.

00:32:56.180 So, there's

00:32:56.760 a major

00:32:57.100 story about

00:32:57.600 this malaria

00:32:58.080 vaccine and

00:32:58.760 it does not

00:32:59.340 include how

00:33:00.480 long they've

00:33:00.960 been testing

00:33:01.400 it.

00:33:02.300 That seems

00:33:02.920 like an

00:33:03.240 omission.

00:33:03.620 but I

00:33:05.360 think it's

00:33:05.760 more like

00:33:06.340 a, it

00:33:07.780 could be

00:33:08.200 more closer

00:33:10.200 to the

00:33:10.760 point that

00:33:11.580 you've got

00:33:13.840 to start

00:33:14.600 Sunday.

00:33:15.660 And I

00:33:15.840 guess the

00:33:16.140 trial made

00:33:16.700 them comfortable

00:33:17.400 enough that

00:33:17.900 they're going

00:33:18.180 to go ahead.

00:33:19.560 All right.

00:33:19.880 there is a

00:33:27.500 dangerous,

00:33:28.900 dangerous tweet

00:33:30.020 on Twitter

00:33:30.980 right now.

00:33:32.260 Dangerous, I

00:33:32.900 say.

00:33:34.620 I'm going to

00:33:35.280 tell you what

00:33:35.680 it is, but

00:33:36.480 put your

00:33:36.880 cautions up,

00:33:37.620 okay?

00:33:38.620 Like, put on

00:33:39.380 your skeptical

00:33:40.460 helmet, right?

00:33:42.840 I need you to

00:33:43.760 be maximum

00:33:44.660 guarded for

00:33:45.940 skepticism before

00:33:46.940 I tell you what

00:33:47.560 this tweet was.

00:33:49.320 There is some

00:33:50.120 entity, and I

00:33:51.080 don't think it

00:33:51.440 matters who, but

00:33:52.220 they're offering

00:33:53.500 a million dollars

00:33:54.480 for anyone who

00:33:56.200 can prove that

00:33:56.880 the excess

00:33:57.520 deaths in the

00:33:58.820 various states

00:34:00.220 and countries

00:34:00.820 are caused

00:34:03.000 by the

00:34:03.500 COVID and

00:34:05.200 not the

00:34:05.720 vaccination

00:34:06.200 itself.

00:34:09.040 Somebody's

00:34:09.560 offering a

00:34:10.080 million dollars

00:34:10.960 if you can

00:34:12.400 prove that

00:34:14.020 COVID is

00:34:14.740 what's killing

00:34:15.260 the extra

00:34:15.820 people and

00:34:16.960 not the

00:34:17.560 vaccination

00:34:18.080 itself.

00:34:20.440 A million

00:34:21.280 dollars if

00:34:21.840 you can prove

00:34:22.280 that.

00:34:23.240 Now, given

00:34:24.060 that that is

00:34:24.660 the primary

00:34:25.580 medical

00:34:27.000 consensus,

00:34:28.300 that the

00:34:28.800 vaccination is

00:34:29.620 saving, you

00:34:30.560 know, millions

00:34:30.960 of lives,

00:34:32.760 wouldn't it

00:34:34.700 be easy to

00:34:35.220 get this

00:34:35.520 million dollars?

00:34:39.420 Seems like

00:34:40.140 it'd be pretty

00:34:40.600 easy.

00:34:40.960 But that's

00:34:43.500 what makes

00:34:43.880 it interesting

00:34:44.420 because the

00:34:45.700 individual shows

00:34:46.560 a lot of

00:34:46.980 data, and

00:34:48.360 of course,

00:34:48.740 you shouldn't

00:34:49.400 believe any

00:34:49.840 data you see

00:34:50.400 on the

00:34:51.140 internet, but

00:34:52.480 plenty of

00:34:53.780 data to

00:34:54.360 suggest that

00:34:55.260 maybe you

00:34:55.920 couldn't prove

00:34:56.440 it, that you

00:34:57.560 wouldn't know

00:34:57.980 the difference

00:34:58.480 between who

00:34:59.560 got killed by

00:35:00.140 the vaccination

00:35:00.660 and who got

00:35:01.460 killed by

00:35:02.020 coronavirus.

00:35:04.580 Now, remember

00:35:05.880 I told you,

00:35:06.400 put on your

00:35:06.800 skeptical hat.

00:35:07.620 I don't believe

00:35:09.820 any of this.

00:35:10.960 In other

00:35:11.240 words, I

00:35:11.520 don't believe

00:35:11.840 any of his

00:35:12.280 data is

00:35:12.780 right, not

00:35:14.420 any, but I

00:35:15.240 don't think

00:35:15.560 that it's

00:35:16.020 right in

00:35:16.840 total, and

00:35:18.020 that I don't

00:35:19.740 think there's

00:35:20.120 anything to

00:35:20.620 it.

00:35:21.860 But it's

00:35:22.280 ballsy.

00:35:22.700 it's ballsy.

00:35:25.760 So I ran

00:35:26.180 this by, you

00:35:26.940 know, I

00:35:27.520 alerted my

00:35:28.420 primary

00:35:29.460 skeptical

00:35:30.120 people, Andres

00:35:31.160 Backhouse, and

00:35:32.980 Anatoly

00:35:33.860 Lubarski, and

00:35:36.480 Lubarski, and

00:35:37.680 I got only

00:35:40.300 Andres' comment

00:35:41.260 before I came

00:35:41.880 live here, and

00:35:42.860 his comment was

00:35:43.700 about this

00:35:44.900 fellow's analysis

00:35:45.860 who's offering,

00:35:46.620 the group that's

00:35:47.320 offering the

00:35:47.820 million dollars.

00:35:48.480 He said that

00:35:49.900 about the

00:35:50.480 analysis in

00:35:51.060 general, this

00:35:51.560 is so

00:35:51.860 misguided and

00:35:52.600 amateurish that

00:35:53.460 taking the

00:35:53.920 million would

00:35:54.480 feel like

00:35:54.960 stealing to

00:35:55.640 me.

00:35:56.040 Now I

00:35:56.280 asked him

00:35:56.580 for a

00:35:57.500 specific, because

00:35:59.100 this is the

00:35:59.800 sort of thing

00:36:00.140 where you need

00:36:00.540 to give an

00:36:00.920 example of

00:36:01.800 what you mean

00:36:02.340 by what's

00:36:02.780 wrong with

00:36:03.160 it.

00:36:03.560 Just one

00:36:04.000 good example.

00:36:05.180 What's the

00:36:05.800 main thing

00:36:06.420 wrong with

00:36:06.860 it?

00:36:07.760 So I

00:36:08.200 haven't heard

00:36:08.480 that yet, but

00:36:09.440 I have enough

00:36:10.460 confidence in

00:36:11.380 Andres that he's

00:36:12.220 seen plenty

00:36:12.860 wrong with

00:36:13.360 it.

00:36:14.140 He's seen

00:36:14.920 plenty that's

00:36:15.700 wrong with

00:36:16.080 it.

00:36:16.220 So I

00:36:18.360 would say

00:36:18.720 you should

00:36:19.140 put a

00:36:19.580 real big

00:36:20.640 doubt on

00:36:22.580 that.

00:36:23.840 And I

00:36:24.300 also think

00:36:24.840 that if

00:36:25.320 there were

00:36:25.860 anything to

00:36:26.420 this claim,

00:36:27.560 it would

00:36:27.840 just be so

00:36:28.440 obvious that

00:36:29.480 everybody would

00:36:30.120 know it.

00:36:32.080 I guess

00:36:33.520 you can always

00:36:34.360 have a situation

00:36:35.020 where all the

00:36:35.640 experts are

00:36:36.220 fooled, but

00:36:37.440 it's unusual

00:36:38.060 to have this

00:36:39.340 many experts

00:36:40.260 all over the

00:36:40.840 world fooled

00:36:41.520 the same way.

00:36:42.520 That would

00:36:43.100 be pretty

00:36:43.460 unusual.

00:36:43.840 Yeah, I

00:36:47.980 think the

00:36:48.480 real problem

00:36:49.280 here is that

00:36:51.060 we don't

00:36:51.420 believe any

00:36:51.940 statistics and

00:36:52.840 you can do

00:36:53.480 anything with

00:36:54.000 it.

00:36:54.700 So just keep

00:36:55.480 an eye on

00:36:55.780 that.

00:36:56.760 There's a

00:36:57.340 Don Lemon

00:36:57.840 rant on

00:36:58.820 CNN.

00:37:00.260 Not a

00:37:00.840 rant, but

00:37:01.360 an opinion.

00:37:02.540 I shouldn't

00:37:02.940 call it a

00:37:03.300 rant.

00:37:03.740 That would

00:37:03.920 be putting

00:37:05.680 too much

00:37:06.040 opinion on

00:37:06.580 it.

00:37:08.500 Saying that

00:37:09.240 the Internet

00:37:10.280 should do

00:37:10.660 more to

00:37:11.020 regulate the

00:37:11.720 misinformation.

00:37:12.280 So he's

00:37:14.100 calling for

00:37:14.540 more censorship

00:37:15.300 on social

00:37:16.800 media platforms.

00:37:19.320 That there

00:37:20.160 should be

00:37:20.480 consequences for

00:37:21.400 that information

00:37:22.060 if it's not

00:37:22.660 true.

00:37:23.480 And his

00:37:24.020 argument is,

00:37:25.500 wait for

00:37:26.320 it, here's

00:37:28.520 his argument.

00:37:30.020 He says

00:37:30.760 that it's

00:37:31.560 completely

00:37:31.960 practical to

00:37:32.860 do, to

00:37:34.800 regulate the

00:37:36.260 information on

00:37:36.880 the Internet.

00:37:37.300 Why?

00:37:37.960 Why does

00:37:38.580 Don Lemon

00:37:39.240 know that

00:37:40.460 it is

00:37:40.740 perfectly

00:37:41.200 practical to

00:37:43.220 get rid of

00:37:43.900 the false

00:37:44.400 information on

00:37:45.140 the Internet?

00:37:46.400 He says

00:37:47.200 it's because

00:37:47.820 the legacy

00:37:50.200 media did

00:37:50.820 it, and

00:37:51.800 they're doing

00:37:52.120 it now.

00:37:53.420 So if

00:37:53.820 CNN can

00:37:54.480 do it,

00:37:55.820 why can't

00:37:56.580 the Internet?

00:37:58.940 That's

00:37:59.460 right.

00:38:00.520 Don Lemon

00:38:01.160 said that the

00:38:01.820 Internet

00:38:02.240 should do,

00:38:03.580 you know,

00:38:03.880 the social

00:38:04.780 media platforms

00:38:05.520 could do

00:38:06.160 more work to

00:38:06.780 get rid of

00:38:07.100 the misinformation

00:38:07.720 because CNN

00:38:08.680 does.

00:38:09.100 So there

00:38:14.440 might be a

00:38:14.920 little bit of

00:38:15.740 a lack of

00:38:16.360 self-awareness

00:38:17.300 there.

00:38:18.420 CNN literally

00:38:19.280 the synonymous

00:38:21.200 with fake

00:38:22.000 news.

00:38:23.120 If I said

00:38:23.900 fake news,

00:38:26.100 name an

00:38:26.540 entity.

00:38:28.640 Just walk up

00:38:29.860 to a stranger

00:38:30.880 and say,

00:38:31.540 fake news,

00:38:32.980 name an

00:38:33.300 organization.

00:38:34.700 They'd look at

00:38:35.240 you and say,

00:38:35.740 well, I don't

00:38:36.040 know why you're

00:38:36.520 asking this,

00:38:36.960 but CNN,

00:38:39.180 it's the

00:38:39.520 first thing

00:38:39.840 you'd say.

00:38:40.940 He doesn't

00:38:41.620 understand that

00:38:42.240 his network

00:38:42.840 is the most

00:38:44.020 famous fake

00:38:44.980 news entity

00:38:45.600 in the world.

00:38:46.980 Not the

00:38:47.560 only ones

00:38:48.120 with fake

00:38:48.880 news,

00:38:49.260 of course.

00:38:50.240 You know,

00:38:50.520 everybody's in

00:38:51.300 on it.

00:38:52.120 But they're

00:38:52.480 the most

00:38:52.820 famous example

00:38:53.780 by far.

00:38:55.720 It seems like

00:38:56.200 you need to

00:38:56.620 mention that

00:38:57.200 in this

00:38:57.520 context.

00:38:57.960 So Jan

00:39:00.240 Jekielek,

00:39:01.980 whose last

00:39:02.560 name I

00:39:03.040 always have

00:39:04.020 trouble with,

00:39:05.360 did this

00:39:06.060 tweet,

00:39:06.560 and I

00:39:06.860 thought this

00:39:07.300 captured the

00:39:09.620 zeitgeist

00:39:10.180 pretty well.

00:39:11.400 Do you want

00:39:11.940 to capture

00:39:12.320 the zeitgeist?

00:39:13.600 Yeah,

00:39:14.140 let's capture

00:39:14.680 it.

00:39:15.440 We don't

00:39:15.780 have to,

00:39:16.320 because Jan

00:39:16.640 did it.

00:39:17.480 He tweeted

00:39:17.940 this.

00:39:18.380 He said,

00:39:18.740 it just

00:39:19.000 struck me.

00:39:20.340 We're

00:39:20.660 witnessing in

00:39:21.540 real time

00:39:22.220 the spectacular

00:39:23.560 accelerating

00:39:24.520 failure of

00:39:25.740 the, quote,

00:39:26.180 governance by

00:39:27.160 expert class

00:39:28.320 model.

00:39:29.840 Its follies

00:39:30.500 daily laid

00:39:31.520 bare, even

00:39:32.380 as its

00:39:32.840 proponents

00:39:33.280 double down

00:39:34.040 on touting

00:39:34.720 its benevolent

00:39:35.660 inevitability.

00:39:38.480 So that's,

00:39:39.180 you know,

00:39:40.300 that hits you,

00:39:41.840 doesn't it?

00:39:42.660 That feels

00:39:43.100 exactly what's

00:39:44.080 happening.

00:39:44.640 We're watching

00:39:45.140 the complete

00:39:45.760 destruction of

00:39:46.680 the expert

00:39:47.220 class.

00:39:48.780 But here's

00:39:49.180 how he,

00:39:49.600 here's how

00:39:50.820 he dresses

00:39:51.340 up,

00:39:52.300 not dress,

00:39:52.680 here's how

00:39:53.040 he seasons

00:39:53.520 his tweet.

00:39:55.320 So he's

00:39:55.640 telling you

00:39:55.960 about the

00:39:56.280 death of

00:39:56.700 the expert

00:39:57.140 class.

00:39:57.640 Most of

00:39:57.960 you are

00:39:58.240 watching it

00:39:59.400 too.

00:40:00.180 And then

00:40:00.400 he says,

00:40:01.400 and it

00:40:01.720 also struck

00:40:02.380 me,

00:40:03.580 in this

00:40:04.240 lies hope.

00:40:08.080 What do

00:40:08.620 you think

00:40:08.800 of that?

00:40:09.540 Do you

00:40:09.820 think that

00:40:10.160 the death

00:40:10.720 of the

00:40:11.160 expert

00:40:11.540 class,

00:40:12.740 which

00:40:12.980 unfortunately

00:40:13.440 means the

00:40:14.020 death of

00:40:14.420 using facts

00:40:15.140 and logic

00:40:15.720 and science

00:40:16.400 for making

00:40:16.860 decisions,

00:40:17.680 because we

00:40:18.720 don't know

00:40:19.040 what are the

00:40:19.400 facts and

00:40:19.840 what's the

00:40:20.200 science,

00:40:20.800 we can't

00:40:21.240 trust anything.

00:40:22.140 If we

00:40:22.560 don't use

00:40:23.000 that model,

00:40:23.620 what's the

00:40:26.460 upside?

00:40:28.340 What's the

00:40:28.980 upside of

00:40:30.340 not trusting

00:40:31.600 any of the

00:40:32.100 expert class?

00:40:35.360 I'm going to

00:40:36.060 go with you

00:40:36.520 on this.

00:40:37.940 I'm going to

00:40:38.320 go with you

00:40:38.720 on optimism,

00:40:39.780 and here's

00:40:40.120 why.

00:40:40.940 You have to

00:40:41.820 understand the

00:40:42.460 problem before

00:40:43.040 you can fix

00:40:43.560 it.

00:40:43.940 pretty much

00:40:45.900 a generic

00:40:46.840 basic

00:40:48.400 universal

00:40:48.940 truth.

00:40:49.720 If you

00:40:50.020 don't

00:40:50.240 understand

00:40:50.820 the

00:40:51.040 problem,

00:40:51.520 the only

00:40:51.760 way you

00:40:52.040 can solve

00:40:52.500 it is

00:40:52.820 randomly,

00:40:53.700 and how

00:40:54.780 likely is

00:40:55.700 that?

00:40:56.580 So in

00:40:57.540 order to

00:40:57.940 fix the

00:41:00.560 problem,

00:41:00.580 you have to

00:41:00.860 understand it,

00:41:01.500 and I

00:41:01.720 believe that

00:41:02.160 we're at

00:41:02.460 that point.

00:41:03.620 We've

00:41:03.940 reached the

00:41:04.320 point where

00:41:04.700 we know we

00:41:05.140 can't trust

00:41:05.620 our experts,

00:41:06.320 our scientists,

00:41:06.960 or our

00:41:07.180 politicians.

00:41:08.780 So what

00:41:09.340 do you

00:41:09.480 do?

00:41:10.980 Well, I

00:41:11.760 feel like

00:41:12.520 we're on

00:41:13.100 the border

00:41:13.620 of needing

00:41:14.680 something like

00:41:15.760 a new

00:41:16.160 model,

00:41:17.000 a new

00:41:17.300 system,

00:41:18.140 something that

00:41:18.800 can help

00:41:19.240 us solve

00:41:19.920 this exact

00:41:20.540 problem.

00:41:21.580 What would

00:41:22.020 that look

00:41:22.360 like?

00:41:23.180 Well, I

00:41:23.880 think I'm

00:41:24.280 modeling it

00:41:24.860 right now.

00:41:26.420 I believe I

00:41:27.120 am modeling

00:41:27.660 the solution

00:41:28.280 to that right

00:41:28.840 now, but

00:41:29.220 you would

00:41:29.440 need a more

00:41:29.840 robust version

00:41:30.740 of that.

00:41:31.400 And the

00:41:31.640 model would

00:41:32.080 be this.

00:41:34.440 Let's say

00:41:35.080 a jury,

00:41:35.920 if you

00:41:36.200 will,

00:41:36.540 I'll use

00:41:36.900 the word

00:41:37.180 jury loosely,

00:41:39.120 of skeptics.

00:41:41.800 A jury

00:41:42.600 of skeptics.

00:41:43.980 Now, I

00:41:44.520 have my

00:41:44.900 own sort

00:41:45.920 of informal

00:41:46.480 group of

00:41:47.020 skeptics who

00:41:47.820 follow me

00:41:48.280 on Twitter

00:41:48.640 and are

00:41:49.700 very kind

00:41:51.840 to respond

00:41:53.080 to lots

00:41:53.580 of queries

00:41:54.920 where I

00:41:55.300 say, look

00:41:55.620 at this,

00:41:56.020 look at that.

00:41:56.360 It takes

00:41:56.560 a lot of

00:41:56.840 time.

00:41:57.860 I'm asking

00:41:58.380 quite a bit

00:41:58.920 of them,

00:42:00.320 Andres

00:42:00.760 Backhouse in

00:42:01.520 particular.

00:42:02.440 The amount

00:42:02.900 of time I've

00:42:03.860 asked him

00:42:04.240 to spend

00:42:04.780 looking at

00:42:06.160 stuff for

00:42:06.640 your benefit

00:42:07.280 and my

00:42:07.980 benefit as

00:42:08.520 well is

00:42:09.660 quite a bit.

00:42:11.020 He's putting

00:42:11.480 in a lot

00:42:11.880 of work

00:42:12.220 for your

00:42:12.720 benefit and

00:42:13.460 not getting

00:42:14.020 paid for it

00:42:14.940 in any way.

00:42:16.100 So I think

00:42:16.580 that unpaid,

00:42:18.000 highly qualified

00:42:19.220 people who

00:42:19.720 have a track

00:42:20.720 record and

00:42:21.360 also the

00:42:22.300 right credentials,

00:42:23.280 in his case,

00:42:24.000 PhD in

00:42:24.520 economics,

00:42:25.560 if they have

00:42:26.100 the right

00:42:26.340 credentials,

00:42:27.520 we need a

00:42:28.300 jury of

00:42:29.460 skeptics.

00:42:30.620 Now, what

00:42:31.000 would be better

00:42:31.560 than a jury

00:42:32.120 of skeptics?

00:42:33.540 Because you're

00:42:33.960 going to not

00:42:34.340 trust them,

00:42:34.900 right?

00:42:36.060 The jury is

00:42:37.040 going to talk

00:42:37.600 and say,

00:42:37.900 I don't

00:42:38.320 believe those

00:42:38.860 guys.

00:42:39.620 All those

00:42:40.060 skeptics are

00:42:40.600 on the

00:42:40.820 right or

00:42:41.480 all those

00:42:42.180 skeptics are

00:42:42.680 on the

00:42:42.880 left or

00:42:43.240 something.

00:42:44.040 Well, more

00:42:44.460 than one.

00:42:45.920 More than

00:42:46.500 one.

00:42:47.140 You should

00:42:47.400 have more

00:42:47.720 than one

00:42:48.120 jury of

00:42:48.880 skeptics.

00:42:50.200 Maybe I'd

00:42:50.860 have one.

00:42:51.560 Try to be

00:42:52.040 as independent

00:42:52.580 as possible.

00:42:53.960 Maybe other

00:42:54.400 people have

00:42:54.800 one.

00:42:56.040 Maybe every,

00:42:57.900 oh, here's

00:42:58.340 a model for

00:42:58.780 you.

00:42:58.980 How about

00:42:59.220 this?

00:43:00.700 How about

00:43:01.260 this model

00:43:01.680 for the

00:43:02.000 future?

00:43:04.220 Everybody

00:43:04.620 who has,

00:43:05.460 and I'll

00:43:05.660 just throw

00:43:06.020 in a for

00:43:07.060 example.

00:43:08.220 For

00:43:08.580 example,

00:43:09.160 everybody who

00:43:09.740 has over

00:43:10.440 100,000

00:43:12.280 Twitter

00:43:14.020 followers,

00:43:15.680 just for

00:43:17.120 conversation's

00:43:18.080 sake.

00:43:18.700 Let's say

00:43:19.120 that anybody

00:43:19.540 who has

00:43:19.880 over 100,000

00:43:20.740 should have

00:43:21.780 also a

00:43:23.900 jury of

00:43:24.640 skeptics who

00:43:25.480 sort of are

00:43:26.740 part of their

00:43:27.240 universe,

00:43:28.080 so that when

00:43:28.780 they tweet

00:43:29.160 something that

00:43:29.740 100,000 people,

00:43:31.500 possibly lots

00:43:32.200 more, are

00:43:33.040 going to see,

00:43:34.320 that it would

00:43:34.800 get tweeted

00:43:35.360 with the

00:43:35.740 context of

00:43:36.720 their own

00:43:37.360 experts.

00:43:39.740 So at

00:43:40.380 least it

00:43:40.940 would travel

00:43:41.460 with the

00:43:41.960 criticism as

00:43:42.780 well as the

00:43:44.660 point.

00:43:47.700 Now, I'm

00:43:48.520 just throwing

00:43:49.320 out a first

00:43:49.900 idea, right?

00:43:50.520 We're just

00:43:50.800 brainstorming.

00:43:51.660 But do you

00:43:52.120 think that

00:43:52.540 there's any

00:43:53.080 potential that

00:43:55.040 a system

00:43:56.280 could arise

00:43:57.240 that would

00:43:58.240 give you

00:43:58.580 some confidence

00:43:59.460 about the

00:44:00.640 news you're

00:44:01.060 seeing?

00:44:01.520 You know,

00:44:01.640 just somebody

00:44:02.080 who's good

00:44:02.580 at looking

00:44:02.940 at the

00:44:03.240 news,

00:44:04.160 a jury of

00:44:04.780 people who

00:44:05.140 are good

00:44:05.500 at looking

00:44:05.860 at statistics

00:44:06.720 in the

00:44:07.100 news and

00:44:07.980 just say,

00:44:08.420 I don't

00:44:08.640 know,

00:44:09.080 trust that

00:44:09.500 one and

00:44:09.840 don't trust

00:44:10.260 this one.

00:44:12.420 What do

00:44:12.940 you think?

00:44:13.800 Somebody says

00:44:14.460 it's peer

00:44:14.880 review, but

00:44:15.420 I'm talking

00:44:15.800 about more

00:44:16.360 of an

00:44:16.760 immediate

00:44:17.700 peer review

00:44:18.480 at a high

00:44:19.840 level.

00:44:20.540 The real

00:44:21.020 peer review

00:44:21.560 gets into

00:44:22.040 the details,

00:44:23.280 and that's

00:44:23.720 good too.

00:44:24.760 I'm talking

00:44:25.220 about just

00:44:25.860 look at it

00:44:26.420 surface-y,

00:44:28.240 and is there

00:44:28.540 anything obviously

00:44:29.220 wrong with

00:44:29.700 that?

00:44:30.160 Because there's

00:44:30.540 usually something

00:44:31.120 obviously wrong.

00:44:32.720 When I say

00:44:33.320 obvious, I mean

00:44:33.900 obvious to an

00:44:34.540 expert, not

00:44:35.340 necessarily obvious

00:44:36.080 to us.

00:44:37.160 A live

00:44:37.780 Zoom panel?

00:44:38.440 Yeah, sometimes

00:44:38.980 live.

00:44:43.720 Just looking

00:44:44.480 at...

00:44:46.040 Oh, interesting

00:44:46.820 comment.

00:44:47.320 I'm saying

00:44:47.680 that's what

00:44:48.280 Gutfeld does,

00:44:49.440 isn't it?

00:44:50.080 Well, in a

00:44:50.580 sense, the

00:44:51.020 Gutfeld show

00:44:51.760 is a group

00:44:53.160 of people who

00:44:53.720 know a lot

00:44:54.180 about politics.

00:44:56.180 In a sense,

00:44:57.000 they can act

00:44:57.460 as skeptics.

00:44:58.100 You're right.

00:44:58.940 Yeah, in some

00:45:00.020 sense, I see

00:45:00.640 that.

00:45:01.040 But you'd

00:45:01.660 want the...

00:45:03.080 You know,

00:45:03.600 you'd want a

00:45:05.540 few more

00:45:06.020 PhDs in

00:45:06.880 economics and

00:45:08.080 you can

00:45:09.200 throw in

00:45:09.560 your

00:45:09.800 cat

00:45:10.420 timphs and

00:45:11.080 your

00:45:11.460 tyrus because

00:45:13.300 they're great

00:45:13.800 on TV.

00:45:14.280 But you also

00:45:15.580 need some

00:45:16.120 people with

00:45:17.220 serious

00:45:17.640 credentials,

00:45:18.620 I think.

00:45:23.180 Did you see

00:45:24.080 the story

00:45:25.140 about...

00:45:25.700 I guess

00:45:25.900 Biden has

00:45:27.040 a stage

00:45:28.520 set that

00:45:29.240 looks like

00:45:29.680 he's in...

00:45:30.300 Is it the

00:45:30.680 Oval Office?

00:45:31.260 the stage?

00:45:32.120 So that

00:45:32.800 when he

00:45:33.040 does his

00:45:33.420 TV appearances,

00:45:34.660 he's actually

00:45:35.120 not in the

00:45:36.600 Oval Office

00:45:37.200 room that it

00:45:38.040 looks like.

00:45:39.220 So his

00:45:39.600 background is

00:45:40.220 a fake

00:45:40.700 stage, just

00:45:42.760 made to look

00:45:43.360 like he's in

00:45:44.420 the White

00:45:44.660 House.

00:45:46.120 Now, put

00:45:48.320 on your

00:45:48.780 conspiracy

00:45:49.440 hats.

00:45:50.780 We're going

00:45:51.260 to take a

00:45:51.760 ride.

00:45:53.240 You ready?

00:45:55.040 Put on the

00:45:55.800 conspiracy

00:45:56.280 hats.

00:45:57.720 Why would

00:45:58.400 your government...

00:45:59.520 This is just

00:46:00.040 for fun, by

00:46:00.620 the way.

00:46:01.180 I'm not saying

00:46:01.940 any of this

00:46:02.320 is true.

00:46:03.480 Why would

00:46:04.100 your government

00:46:04.740 want to build

00:46:06.800 a fake set

00:46:07.980 for where the

00:46:09.820 president actually

00:46:11.180 is every day

00:46:11.880 and where

00:46:13.240 they've been

00:46:13.680 doing this

00:46:14.220 from routinely

00:46:15.860 for years?

00:46:17.820 Why?

00:46:19.780 Well,

00:46:21.200 allow me to

00:46:22.020 suggest a few

00:46:22.820 possibilities.

00:46:24.740 Number one,

00:46:25.320 sometimes he's

00:46:29.260 not in the

00:46:29.620 White House.

00:46:31.280 Right?

00:46:32.180 If you get

00:46:32.940 used to seeing

00:46:33.540 the fake set

00:46:34.460 behind him,

00:46:35.900 it would be

00:46:36.380 really easy to

00:46:37.140 reproduce the

00:46:37.900 fake set from

00:46:39.520 another location.

00:46:41.800 So I'm not

00:46:42.480 saying that they

00:46:43.120 have any plans

00:46:43.900 to do that.

00:46:44.520 I'm just saying

00:46:44.900 it opened up

00:46:45.420 that option.

00:46:46.440 A little bit

00:46:46.940 easier than

00:46:48.060 using the real

00:46:48.760 background because

00:46:49.640 the window,

00:46:50.900 you know,

00:46:51.100 the scenery in

00:46:52.220 the window would

00:46:52.740 change.

00:46:53.320 But suppose they

00:46:54.000 train the

00:46:54.560 public that

00:46:56.100 the set always

00:46:56.800 looks like the

00:46:57.340 fake set.

00:46:59.520 Then he can

00:47:00.240 go anywhere.

00:47:01.300 They just

00:47:01.620 reproduce the

00:47:02.260 fake set

00:47:02.700 somewhere else.

00:47:04.500 Now,

00:47:04.920 would that

00:47:05.220 ever be

00:47:05.780 useful?

00:47:06.340 Maybe.

00:47:07.480 Imagine for

00:47:08.180 security purposes.

00:47:10.340 Imagine for

00:47:11.080 security purposes

00:47:12.060 if you knew

00:47:13.060 the president

00:47:13.500 was giving,

00:47:14.120 let's say,

00:47:14.340 a live address.

00:47:16.600 Wouldn't that

00:47:17.240 mean that,

00:47:17.940 you know,

00:47:18.420 terrorists would

00:47:19.000 know where

00:47:19.320 the president

00:47:19.740 is?

00:47:20.960 I mean,

00:47:21.180 you could

00:47:21.440 imagine a

00:47:22.000 situation where

00:47:22.680 they want to

00:47:23.120 fool bad

00:47:24.300 guys about

00:47:25.840 where the

00:47:26.180 president's

00:47:26.640 location is.

00:47:28.860 Now,

00:47:29.340 let's suppose

00:47:29.860 there's an

00:47:31.760 attack on the

00:47:32.340 Capitol,

00:47:32.880 terrorist attack,

00:47:33.980 and the

00:47:34.540 president needs

00:47:35.140 to go into

00:47:35.540 hiding.

00:47:37.180 So let's say

00:47:37.660 the president

00:47:38.120 is in an

00:47:38.740 underground

00:47:39.040 bunker,

00:47:40.100 but he wants

00:47:41.120 to look

00:47:41.420 presidential.

00:47:43.180 Now they

00:47:43.780 can just

00:47:44.120 reproduce the

00:47:44.960 state set in

00:47:46.380 the underground

00:47:46.940 bunker, and it

00:47:48.260 looks like he's

00:47:48.760 above ground.

00:47:50.080 He's like,

00:47:50.380 I'm not afraid,

00:47:51.840 but he's actually

00:47:52.500 in the underground

00:47:52.980 bunker.

00:47:54.300 So it opens

00:47:55.100 up some

00:47:55.440 options,

00:47:56.000 right?

00:47:56.780 Here's the

00:47:57.380 other one,

00:47:57.900 and I know

00:47:58.360 you're already

00:47:58.840 thinking this.

00:48:03.020 It feels

00:48:03.820 like if

00:48:04.500 anybody was

00:48:05.140 ever going

00:48:05.540 to move

00:48:06.000 toward creating

00:48:06.680 a real

00:48:07.220 digital deep

00:48:08.360 fake of a

00:48:09.240 president,

00:48:10.600 you would

00:48:11.540 do this

00:48:12.100 first.

00:48:14.720 You would

00:48:15.420 do this

00:48:15.960 first.

00:48:17.320 You would

00:48:17.900 have to

00:48:18.280 change the

00:48:18.820 background

00:48:19.480 first and

00:48:22.620 get people

00:48:23.120 used to

00:48:23.580 it.

00:48:24.320 Why?

00:48:25.320 Because it

00:48:25.700 would be

00:48:25.940 much harder

00:48:26.600 to put a

00:48:28.480 fake person

00:48:30.040 on top of

00:48:30.780 a real

00:48:31.160 background.

00:48:32.360 Not only

00:48:33.140 because the

00:48:33.680 weather outside

00:48:34.320 the window

00:48:34.760 might be

00:48:35.180 changing,

00:48:36.360 that might

00:48:36.720 be a tip

00:48:37.120 off,

00:48:37.980 but also,

00:48:38.940 and maybe I

00:48:39.820 need an

00:48:40.100 expert to

00:48:40.560 tell me

00:48:40.780 this,

00:48:41.420 would you

00:48:41.840 be able to

00:48:42.300 pick it up

00:48:42.760 more easily

00:48:43.340 if you had

00:48:44.460 a fake

00:48:46.080 image on

00:48:46.640 top of a

00:48:47.160 real image

00:48:47.700 versus all

00:48:49.020 fake.

00:48:50.420 Is there

00:48:50.720 anybody who

00:48:51.120 knows enough

00:48:52.240 Machiavelli's

00:48:55.120 if my

00:48:59.540 Twitter user

00:49:00.160 Machiavelli is

00:49:00.940 on here,

00:49:01.860 I think you've

00:49:02.580 got some

00:49:02.900 experience with

00:49:03.540 this.

00:49:07.340 Head-on

00:49:08.000 monitor,

00:49:08.780 no visible

00:49:09.400 teleprompter.

00:49:11.840 Controlled

00:49:12.320 lighting,

00:49:12.840 yeah,

00:49:13.140 controlled

00:49:13.600 lighting is a

00:49:14.200 very good

00:49:14.540 reason to

00:49:14.940 do it,

00:49:15.200 because you

00:49:15.400 don't want

00:49:15.720 to open

00:49:16.280 windows.

00:49:16.740 That's a

00:49:16.980 very good

00:49:17.300 reason to

00:49:17.700 do it.

00:49:18.200 Yeah,

00:49:18.380 in fact,

00:49:18.800 the main

00:49:19.320 reason might

00:49:19.800 be just

00:49:20.180 controlling the

00:49:20.880 lighting,

00:49:21.380 and there

00:49:22.000 was some

00:49:22.260 talk about

00:49:22.800 getting the

00:49:23.360 teleprompter

00:49:23.960 out of the

00:49:24.240 way.

00:49:24.640 So it

00:49:24.880 might be

00:49:25.160 nothing but

00:49:25.580 a production

00:49:26.080 thing.

00:49:26.800 Easily could

00:49:27.320 be nothing

00:49:27.740 but that.

00:49:29.200 Well,

00:49:29.800 so here's

00:49:30.360 the thing.

00:49:31.720 I think

00:49:32.300 they need

00:49:32.700 to have a

00:49:33.200 consistent

00:49:33.700 background to

00:49:34.780 make it

00:49:35.080 easier to

00:49:35.680 put a

00:49:36.540 deep fake

00:49:37.160 president in

00:49:38.060 front of it

00:49:38.460 should we

00:49:38.840 ever need

00:49:39.220 to do

00:49:39.500 that.

00:49:41.340 I don't

00:49:41.880 think that we

00:49:42.460 need to do

00:49:42.880 that,

00:49:43.260 and I don't

00:49:43.560 think there's

00:49:43.900 like any

00:49:44.300 media plan to

00:49:45.240 do that,

00:49:47.300 do this

00:49:47.700 first.

00:49:48.400 That's a

00:49:48.820 little

00:49:48.980 suspicious to

00:49:49.780 me.

00:49:50.540 Because you

00:49:51.180 wouldn't want

00:49:51.620 to have to

00:49:52.020 reprogram the

00:49:52.820 background every

00:49:53.600 time you put

00:49:55.580 in a new

00:49:55.980 Biden, right?

00:49:56.980 If you

00:49:57.540 wanted to

00:49:57.880 program Biden

00:49:58.620 making a

00:49:59.140 speech, a

00:49:59.800 fake one, a

00:50:00.660 digital Biden,

00:50:01.980 you wouldn't

00:50:02.440 want to have

00:50:02.780 to do the

00:50:03.200 extra work of

00:50:03.960 changing what's

00:50:04.580 in the window,

00:50:05.800 and also

00:50:06.520 corresponding to

00:50:07.760 when the

00:50:08.000 cloud went

00:50:08.460 over, right?

00:50:09.820 So imagine

00:50:10.500 Biden is in

00:50:11.780 front of a

00:50:12.220 real window,

00:50:13.740 and a cloud

00:50:14.960 goes over.

00:50:15.500 Maybe you

00:50:17.220 can see it.

00:50:18.500 And then

00:50:18.720 maybe somebody

00:50:19.240 says, wait

00:50:19.620 a minute, I

00:50:19.980 looked at the

00:50:20.440 timing of

00:50:20.960 this, I

00:50:21.840 checked the

00:50:22.220 clouds, this

00:50:23.100 doesn't make

00:50:23.480 sense, it

00:50:23.840 was a clear

00:50:24.220 day.

00:50:25.340 So I

00:50:25.900 think you'd

00:50:26.500 have to make

00:50:27.020 the background

00:50:27.600 fake, and

00:50:29.780 the same all

00:50:30.300 the time, before

00:50:31.980 you created your

00:50:32.920 first deep fake

00:50:34.280 and put it on

00:50:34.900 that scene.

00:50:35.900 You'd have to

00:50:36.420 prime people in

00:50:37.180 the public

00:50:37.500 first.

00:50:39.380 Now I don't

00:50:40.040 believe any of

00:50:40.580 this in the

00:50:41.380 conspiracy sense.

00:50:43.400 It's just

00:50:44.040 interesting.

00:50:45.500 that there are

00:50:47.120 two good

00:50:47.680 reasons for

00:50:48.260 doing this.

00:50:48.720 One, just to

00:50:49.460 get a better

00:50:49.920 video.

00:50:52.260 Makes perfect

00:50:52.840 sense.

00:50:53.860 And the

00:50:54.220 other is

00:50:55.380 longer term.

00:50:56.840 Now, let me

00:50:57.440 ask you this.

00:50:59.480 Do you

00:51:00.220 think that

00:51:00.720 our CIA,

00:51:02.260 etc., has

00:51:03.100 already made

00:51:03.920 deep fakes

00:51:04.720 of terrorists

00:51:06.140 giving instructions

00:51:07.320 to their

00:51:07.960 people?

00:51:08.240 I don't know,

00:51:11.520 but if they

00:51:12.280 haven't, they're

00:51:14.100 incompetent.

00:51:15.500 Because we

00:51:16.200 should have

00:51:16.560 seen, back

00:51:17.160 in bin

00:51:18.160 laden days,

00:51:19.140 there should

00:51:19.620 have already

00:51:20.080 been fake

00:51:20.820 videos of

00:51:21.440 bin laden

00:51:21.900 saying, hey,

00:51:22.940 lay down your

00:51:23.480 guns and

00:51:23.920 surrender, or

00:51:24.560 something like

00:51:25.080 that.

00:51:25.460 Not something

00:51:26.820 that much on

00:51:27.480 the nose.

00:51:27.980 It'd have to

00:51:28.280 be more

00:51:28.580 clever than

00:51:29.020 that.

00:51:29.920 But don't

00:51:30.520 you think that

00:51:31.160 if we could

00:51:32.240 cause terrorists

00:51:33.360 to not be able

00:51:34.120 to communicate

00:51:34.740 directly, because

00:51:36.360 we would catch

00:51:37.020 them in their

00:51:37.720 communication, one

00:51:39.520 of the ways

00:51:39.860 they communicate

00:51:40.360 would be to

00:51:40.960 put a little

00:51:41.320 video on a

00:51:42.680 little memory

00:51:43.520 stick and

00:51:44.160 then have

00:51:44.500 somebody

00:51:44.740 physically

00:51:45.300 transport it

00:51:46.080 and play

00:51:46.620 it in the

00:51:47.180 computer on

00:51:47.740 the other

00:51:48.000 end.

00:51:49.160 Well, if we

00:51:49.720 can create

00:51:50.160 fakes, how

00:51:52.220 is anybody

00:51:52.580 going to know

00:51:52.960 they're getting

00:51:53.320 the real video

00:51:54.900 from the real

00:51:55.440 leader?

00:51:55.920 They wouldn't

00:51:56.280 know.

00:51:57.140 So they

00:51:57.500 would never

00:51:57.880 know to be

00:51:58.520 able to

00:51:58.780 trust instructions

00:52:00.500 from their

00:52:01.120 own bosses.

00:52:03.320 That would be

00:52:04.100 kind of good

00:52:04.680 for us to do

00:52:05.320 that, to

00:52:05.980 create that

00:52:06.500 doubt.

00:52:07.800 Anyway, that's

00:52:08.680 what's coming.

00:52:10.280 Looks like we're

00:52:11.160 just about to

00:52:12.840 the end of

00:52:13.900 our time

00:52:14.480 together.

00:52:16.300 Scotty, I'm

00:52:17.080 a friend of

00:52:17.660 the Cuba

00:52:17.860 order.

00:52:18.580 You make

00:52:18.960 Chinese Dilber 0.95

00:52:19.740 products because

00:52:20.560 child labor is

00:52:21.440 more practical

00:52:22.160 for your

00:52:22.640 products.

00:52:25.280 That's in

00:52:25.980 Vegas.

00:52:26.900 So every day

00:52:27.580 people are

00:52:28.040 trying to

00:52:28.580 shame me for

00:52:29.660 the fact that

00:52:30.500 my publisher,

00:52:31.720 who, by the

00:52:32.220 way, I don't

00:52:33.580 control, does

00:52:36.900 their printing in

00:52:37.960 China.

00:52:38.400 And I also

00:52:38.820 buy Chinese

00:52:39.560 products, Chinese

00:52:40.680 made products,

00:52:41.440 including my

00:52:42.120 iPhone.

00:52:43.080 I'm not going

00:52:43.980 to apologize

00:52:44.780 for that.

00:52:47.360 Because I

00:52:48.060 say over and

00:52:48.860 over again, we

00:52:50.120 should decouple

00:52:51.620 the stuff that

00:52:52.860 is easy to

00:52:53.620 decouple, and

00:52:54.260 we should take a

00:52:54.860 longer time to

00:52:56.260 decouple the

00:52:56.840 stuff that's

00:52:57.240 going to be

00:52:57.460 harder, because

00:52:58.140 there aren't

00:52:58.460 alternative sources.

00:53:00.180 So the moment

00:53:01.020 there's an

00:53:01.440 alternative source

00:53:02.440 for printing

00:53:04.000 Dilber

00:53:04.400 calendars, I

00:53:05.360 will do that.

00:53:06.800 I'll push my

00:53:07.880 publisher for the

00:53:08.600 alternative source.

00:53:09.340 But if the

00:53:10.180 alternative source

00:53:10.960 is too

00:53:11.300 expensive, meaning

00:53:12.400 that it can't

00:53:13.280 be profitable, I'm

00:53:14.700 not pushing for

00:53:15.240 that.

00:53:16.420 So does that

00:53:17.320 mean I'm

00:53:17.660 putting profits

00:53:19.100 over people?

00:53:21.880 No, I'm

00:53:22.580 putting people at

00:53:24.080 the top, because

00:53:24.840 you need profits.

00:53:26.020 The thing that

00:53:26.620 keeps people

00:53:27.200 alive?

00:53:28.420 Profits.

00:53:29.880 Do you know

00:53:31.060 why you can have

00:53:33.460 nice things, if any

00:53:34.920 of you have nice

00:53:35.600 things?

00:53:35.900 Do you know

00:53:36.160 why you can?

00:53:37.300 Profits.

00:53:38.340 Profits.

00:53:39.120 Yeah, you don't

00:53:39.480 want to stop

00:53:39.860 profit.

00:53:41.120 You want to

00:53:41.780 manage it and

00:53:42.900 evolve it in a

00:53:44.240 way that you

00:53:45.260 can have the

00:53:45.700 profit and also

00:53:47.180 a better world.

00:53:48.880 So no, I'm not

00:53:49.900 going to be a

00:53:50.300 dumbass and say

00:53:51.880 stop doing

00:53:53.120 business instantly

00:53:53.940 in every situation,

00:53:55.520 no exceptions.

00:53:56.580 That would be

00:53:57.240 dumb.

00:53:58.120 It wouldn't be

00:53:58.580 good for people,

00:54:00.000 and if you

00:54:01.360 imagine that that

00:54:02.380 would be a good

00:54:02.840 idea, you'd

00:54:03.280 probably just lack

00:54:04.240 an understanding of

00:54:05.560 economics.

00:54:07.720 All right.

00:54:12.880 Please explain

00:54:13.760 profits to

00:54:14.440 AOC.

00:54:19.920 What's not

00:54:20.600 fake?

00:54:21.200 Just looking at

00:54:21.760 some of your

00:54:22.380 comments before

00:54:26.140 I sign off.

00:54:26.680 Okay, the

00:54:35.660 Boo update.

00:54:36.500 Boo was

00:54:37.260 doing very

00:54:37.760 badly yesterday,

00:54:38.740 but probably

00:54:39.320 dehydration.

00:54:40.320 So I

00:54:40.620 rehydrated her,

00:54:42.060 and she's

00:54:42.660 looking a lot

00:54:43.280 better today.

00:54:44.640 But I've got

00:54:45.340 some delicate

00:54:45.980 balance of

00:54:46.840 meds and

00:54:47.960 trying to get

00:54:48.480 her appetite

00:54:48.980 social.

00:54:50.000 So basically,

00:54:51.660 I'm involved

00:54:52.560 in a chess

00:54:54.140 game, and

00:54:55.420 the chess

00:54:55.800 pieces are

00:54:56.420 like a

00:54:57.340 bunch of

00:54:57.600 different

00:54:57.860 medications

00:54:58.460 with the

00:54:59.820 side effects,

00:55:00.740 with the

00:55:01.380 illness itself,

00:55:02.220 and they

00:55:03.220 all have to

00:55:03.640 be in the

00:55:04.420 right order

00:55:04.980 and in the

00:55:05.680 right strategy,

00:55:06.400 or the cat

00:55:07.080 dies.

00:55:09.420 Trust me,

00:55:10.100 you do not

00:55:10.680 want to be in

00:55:11.160 my situation,

00:55:12.620 because it's

00:55:13.160 really, really

00:55:13.920 complicated, the

00:55:15.340 scheduling of

00:55:16.200 everything, and

00:55:16.900 the ins and

00:55:17.720 outs, and how 0.56

00:55:18.640 to play it.

00:55:19.180 And it's

00:55:21.580 hard, it's

00:55:22.600 hard, but I'm

00:55:24.540 doing my best.

00:55:25.960 And she's

00:55:26.660 looking good as

00:55:27.340 of this morning,

00:55:28.180 but she's still 1.00

00:55:29.160 not eating on

00:55:29.860 her own.

00:55:30.600 But we have a

00:55:31.120 plan to make

00:55:31.680 that happen.

00:55:32.680 All right, so

00:55:33.320 we will not

00:55:34.020 give up my

00:55:34.780 boo.

00:55:41.100 Yeah, John,

00:55:42.440 I'm not going

00:55:42.780 to respond to

00:55:43.380 that.

00:55:45.840 And that's

00:55:46.440 all for today,

00:55:47.140 and I'll talk

00:55:47.660 to you tomorrow.

00:55:49.180 All right.

00:55:50.160 There we go.

00:55:50.540 Thank you.

00:55:50.920 All right.
