Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1549 Scott Adams： Sleepy Joe, Skirted Assailants, NFL Slavery, and More Fun

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the best thing that ever happened to you.

00:00:09.260 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and it's big all over the world.

00:00:15.680 Possibly at other planets, because I think they're monitoring our activities,

00:00:19.400 and if they are, they certainly would have picked up on this pretty quickly.

00:00:22.560 So, if you'd like to do something that the smartest, sexiest people in the world do every day,

00:00:30.580 and, at least, probably, one or two alien civilizations who are monitoring us from a distance,

00:00:38.140 it's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it's going to happen now, and aren't you lucky?

00:00:42.780 Yeah, you're lucky, because you rate it in time, because live, it's the best.

00:00:48.180 And all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or a flask,

00:00:54.020 a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:57.120 And, my goodness, who is contacting me?

00:01:04.220 And join me now for the Simultaneous Sip.

00:01:08.160 It's the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better, including your antibodies.

00:01:15.360 I should have said, especially, your antibodies.

00:01:18.520 And it happens now. Go.

00:01:26.160 Antibodies going online, firing up.

00:01:29.260 A few extras, looks like they've joined them.

00:01:31.200 Yeah, looking good. Looking good.

00:01:35.800 Well, here's something that surprises the hell out of me.

00:01:40.780 Honestly, I was quite surprised by this.

00:01:43.340 So I was watching Bill Maher's show, or a clip from it, on Friday,

00:01:47.460 where he was browbeating Sean Spicer, who had been one of Trump's spokespersons for a while,

00:01:56.100 and was trying to get Spicer to admit that the election was fair, and that there was no fraud.

00:02:04.160 Now, I think Spicer did okay.

00:02:07.460 You know, he did okay in his answers, but could have done a lot better.

00:02:12.720 A lot better, because it turns out that Bill Maher, and this is amazing.

00:02:19.620 Think about how well-informed Bill Maher is compared to the average person.

00:02:24.720 Average person, how well-informed they are.

00:02:28.200 Bill Maher.

00:02:28.900 It's literally his job to be well-informed on politics.

00:02:33.360 It's his job.

00:02:34.960 And he's good at it.

00:02:37.460 And he is more well-informed than most people.

00:02:39.880 And I think it's even a hobby, right, following the news.

00:02:44.900 So if you would expect somebody to be well-informed, it would be Bill Maher on politics, right?

00:02:50.600 Bill Maher actually seems to be unaware that the courts never really looked at anything of substance.

00:02:58.180 They looked at whether the issue could be looked at by the court,

00:03:02.660 which is different than looking at the issue.

00:03:04.300 And when they said, ah, this, you don't have standing, or it's too late, or whatever the reasons were.

00:03:11.480 But if you took everything factual that courts actually ruled on,

00:03:17.780 and compared it, you compared it to all the things that could have been a problem,

00:03:23.640 or were discovered later, or alleged to be problems later,

00:03:27.680 what percentage of the factual claims do you think courts ruled on?

00:03:34.660 What would be your guess?

00:03:36.700 Of all the claims that were made,

00:03:39.140 before and after court cases, you know, did things,

00:03:43.560 of all the claims,

00:03:44.960 let's say the claims had some,

00:03:47.180 a little bit of legitimacy to them.

00:03:49.300 Doesn't mean they're right.

00:03:50.860 But enough legitimacy that a court should decide.

00:03:53.620 What percentage of the total claims do you think courts actually ruled on?

00:03:57.680 I don't think it's zero.

00:04:00.860 Most of you are saying zero.

00:04:01.940 I don't think it's zero.

00:04:03.780 But it's less than 10%.

00:04:05.480 Probably, wouldn't you say?

00:04:08.900 That maybe 10%?

00:04:11.040 And then here's another question.

00:04:13.020 What percentage of all the places that fraud could hide,

00:04:18.300 potentially,

00:04:19.900 in an election,

00:04:20.780 what percentage of all the things that could be checked in a perfect world

00:04:26.880 were actually checked?

00:04:31.300 40%, maybe?

00:04:33.200 If you did a full audit in places that you suspected problems,

00:04:37.460 what percentage of all the things that you want to check

00:04:40.440 could you actually check?

00:04:42.200 I don't know the answer to that.

00:04:45.820 But my sort of sense of it is

00:04:48.160 maybe 40%.

00:04:49.880 It's definitely not 90%.

00:04:51.980 And I'll tell you what it's definitely not is 100%.

00:04:54.800 Right?

00:04:55.880 Because they had no access to any of the electronic stuff,

00:04:58.840 did they?

00:04:59.180 I don't believe they had access to the source code.

00:05:03.180 I don't think they had access to any records about the databases.

00:05:07.400 Once it left the paper world,

00:05:10.560 I don't think they had much of anything.

00:05:13.820 So it is not my belief

00:05:16.700 that there is any convincing evidence of fraud.

00:05:22.600 I know you don't want to hear that

00:05:24.100 because you want me to say that I've seen it and it's there.

00:05:26.980 I haven't, which is different,

00:05:29.120 completely different from saying it's not there.

00:05:31.660 I'm saying that nobody can know if fraud is there.

00:05:34.360 It's unknowable.

00:05:35.800 It's also unchecked.

00:05:37.640 Nobody checked.

00:05:39.160 And nobody can know.

00:05:41.420 So, and really,

00:05:44.200 this isn't even a story about the election.

00:05:46.460 This is a story about how somebody whose job it is

00:05:49.340 to be well-informed about,

00:05:52.140 would you say this is the biggest topic right now?

00:05:54.980 Can you think of a bigger topic

00:05:57.560 than January 6th and the election integrity?

00:06:01.560 What's bigger than that?

00:06:03.140 Climate change, I guess, maybe,

00:06:05.020 depending on your point of view.

00:06:07.180 But one of the biggest political stories,

00:06:10.800 and the most, I would say,

00:06:12.460 the central, most important fact

00:06:15.380 is how much was checked.

00:06:17.620 Would you agree with that statement?

00:06:19.160 The most central, important fact

00:06:22.920 of the entire story of the election

00:06:24.620 and the entire story of January 6th,

00:06:27.440 the most important fact

00:06:29.080 is what percentage of the stuff you'd want to check

00:06:33.280 was actually checked.

00:06:35.420 It's the biggest question.

00:06:37.460 If you don't know the answer to that,

00:06:39.920 even in a general sense,

00:06:42.100 you don't know anything.

00:06:43.760 You literally don't know anything about the topic.

00:06:48.480 Am I wrong?

00:06:51.240 If you believe that 100% of the claims

00:06:53.780 had been checked and were disqualified,

00:06:56.940 nothing like that happened.

00:06:58.500 Not even close.

00:07:00.740 In no world did anything like that happen.

00:07:02.960 And yet, Marr's entire worldview on this

00:07:04.820 seems to be based on an assumption

00:07:06.960 that courts looked at evidence,

00:07:08.700 the best of it or most of it

00:07:12.620 or even a lot of it.

00:07:15.780 Nothing like that ever happened.

00:07:17.940 The courts decided they couldn't rule on it

00:07:19.880 one way or the other

00:07:20.980 because they didn't have jurisdiction

00:07:23.340 or whatever it was.

00:07:24.260 Didn't have standing,

00:07:25.200 didn't have jurisdiction.

00:07:26.800 A bunch of technical reasons.

00:07:29.620 All right.

00:07:31.140 I've told you before, in my opinion,

00:07:33.640 that of all political pundits,

00:07:36.380 there is one that is dumber than all of them,

00:07:38.360 put together.

00:07:40.000 And his name is Joe Lockhart.

00:07:42.280 Now, I don't know if Joe Lockhart is smart

00:07:44.760 when he's not on television.

00:07:47.300 Because he might be.

00:07:49.180 You know, sometimes it's hard to tell

00:07:50.900 when somebody is legitimately dumb

00:07:53.100 and when they're just being partisan.

00:07:55.840 Because when you see somebody acting,

00:07:57.200 you know, purely partisan,

00:07:58.760 they kind of look dumb, don't they?

00:08:01.300 Am I the only one?

00:08:02.160 Let me ask you this.

00:08:03.760 Yeah, I see your comment, Eric.

00:08:13.460 So, anyway, Joe Lockhart,

00:08:15.960 he tweeted this.

00:08:19.820 And I swear to God,

00:08:21.800 I'm not making this up.

00:08:23.280 This sounds like something

00:08:24.180 that I made up as a joke.

00:08:25.900 You know, because I called him dumb

00:08:27.700 and then I'm going to read a tweet

00:08:29.020 that sounds dumb.

00:08:29.740 I didn't make this up.

00:08:32.220 I didn't make this up.

00:08:33.880 He actually tweeted this.

00:08:36.040 He said,

00:08:36.500 you know who also had coded statements

00:08:38.680 like Brandon,

00:08:40.740 ISIS, 0.60

00:08:41.680 the Klan,

00:08:43.080 Nazis,

00:08:44.380 beginning to get the point?

00:08:47.140 That's right.

00:08:48.960 Joe Lockhart compared

00:08:50.420 the humorous chant,

00:08:52.900 let's go Brandon,

00:08:53.800 to the same techniques

00:08:56.680 of ISIS,

00:08:57.440 the Klan,

00:08:58.040 and Nazis,

00:08:59.040 and then concluded

00:09:00.220 that they had a lot in common.

00:09:07.040 And I said,

00:09:08.420 you know,

00:09:08.680 so he thinks that maybe

00:09:09.840 this coded statements thing

00:09:11.800 really tells you

00:09:12.840 what's happening.

00:09:14.080 Because people who are talking

00:09:15.240 coded statements

00:09:16.360 probably are associated

00:09:18.480 with terrorism

00:09:19.240 or Nazism 0.50

00:09:20.760 or ISIS.

00:09:21.680 that's Joe Lockhart's point

00:09:25.880 and he was proud enough

00:09:27.260 to put that in public.

00:09:29.740 But I would like to defend him

00:09:31.260 this time.

00:09:32.260 Although I've been a critic,

00:09:33.460 I'd like to defend him

00:09:34.220 in this one case.

00:09:35.860 So before you judge

00:09:36.800 this tweet harshly,

00:09:38.940 I want you to at least consider

00:09:40.380 that it wasn't a real tweet

00:09:42.700 but rather

00:09:44.480 a coded statement

00:09:46.020 of his own.

00:09:48.160 I'm just going to put that out there.

00:09:49.540 Because if it's a real tweet,

00:09:50.700 it doesn't make any sense at all.

00:09:52.860 You'd have to kind of at least

00:09:54.400 be open to the possibility.

00:09:57.060 He's sending you

00:09:57.780 a coded statement.

00:09:59.860 Not meant to mean

00:10:01.080 what it looks like it means.

00:10:04.120 And

00:10:04.560 if it is a coded statement,

00:10:07.200 that would make him

00:10:10.180 no better than

00:10:11.040 ISIS, 0.60

00:10:12.360 the Klan,

00:10:13.020 Nazis,

00:10:13.580 and

00:10:13.800 according to

00:10:15.000 Joe Lockhart,

00:10:15.820 Republicans.

00:10:19.100 Poor, poor Joe Lockhart.

00:10:20.460 I hope that's not

00:10:21.380 a coded message.

00:10:22.620 I hope it's just

00:10:23.400 as dumb as it looks.

00:10:24.800 Because if it's a coded message,

00:10:26.460 my God,

00:10:27.060 his soul is in trouble.

00:10:29.080 Well,

00:10:30.540 what could be more perfect

00:10:31.880 than a president

00:10:35.100 who had been

00:10:36.660 labeled by his competitor,

00:10:39.280 Mr. Trump,

00:10:40.860 as Sleepy Joe

00:10:42.100 falling asleep in public

00:10:44.500 at the climate change summit

00:10:46.180 in Glasgow?

00:10:46.920 What could be more perfect?

00:10:49.580 Sleepy Joe

00:10:50.240 falling asleep

00:10:51.180 at a climate summit?

00:10:54.280 Nothing.

00:10:55.220 That's right.

00:10:55.760 The answer is nothing.

00:10:57.000 Nothing could be

00:10:57.780 more perfect than that.

00:10:59.640 Now,

00:11:00.460 the longer that

00:11:02.240 Trump is out of office,

00:11:04.860 what have I told you?

00:11:06.160 What was my prediction?

00:11:07.520 The longer he's out of office,

00:11:09.200 the smarter he's going to look.

00:11:12.560 Right?

00:11:13.900 Now,

00:11:14.660 when he decided

00:11:15.940 of all the things

00:11:16.880 you could call Joe Biden,

00:11:18.600 of all the possible nicknames,

00:11:21.860 Trump reached into the void

00:11:23.420 and picked out Sleepy Joe.

00:11:27.540 And,

00:11:28.380 damn it,

00:11:29.140 if Joe Biden

00:11:30.320 didn't fall asleep in public,

00:11:32.080 more than once,

00:11:32.920 right?

00:11:34.520 How

00:11:35.080 does Trump do this?

00:11:36.860 Seriously.

00:11:37.380 How could you be so good

00:11:40.800 at this?

00:11:41.960 Giving people nicknames

00:11:43.280 that stick.

00:11:44.700 It's crazy,

00:11:45.920 isn't it?

00:11:46.740 It's crazy how

00:11:47.700 he reached into

00:11:49.100 all the possibilities

00:11:50.200 and picked out

00:11:51.640 the one that was perfect.

00:11:53.860 And I'll say more

00:11:55.080 about that topic

00:11:56.800 as well.

00:11:58.920 But I'm wondering this.

00:12:00.440 So you've got

00:12:00.900 a climate summit.

00:12:02.560 Does it make sense

00:12:03.580 that the climate summit

00:12:04.860 would have nobody invited

00:12:06.960 who is a climate change

00:12:08.820 skeptic

00:12:10.060 or a doubter?

00:12:11.640 Do you think

00:12:12.160 you should have

00:12:12.600 a climate summit

00:12:13.400 with no dissenting opinions

00:12:15.700 at your summit?

00:12:17.600 Is that

00:12:18.300 reasonable?

00:12:20.440 I think so.

00:12:21.960 I think so.

00:12:22.760 Because their entire claim

00:12:23.860 is that the doubters

00:12:25.480 should be ignored.

00:12:27.480 So I would say

00:12:28.140 it's consistent

00:12:28.860 with their overall theme

00:12:31.040 to not invite them.

00:12:32.880 But here's my further question,

00:12:34.580 drilling a little bit

00:12:35.260 deeper down.

00:12:36.760 There are people,

00:12:38.720 notably,

00:12:39.740 there are people

00:12:40.400 who believe

00:12:40.840 climate change is real,

00:12:42.500 just as they do,

00:12:43.780 but believe maybe

00:12:44.680 the approach to it

00:12:45.820 should be

00:12:47.020 a little different

00:12:47.840 or a lot different

00:12:48.620 than what we're doing.

00:12:50.220 Michael Schellenberger,

00:12:51.300 for example,

00:12:52.400 believes that

00:12:53.020 climate change is real,

00:12:54.400 that the science about it

00:12:55.540 is directionally correct,

00:12:57.980 but that from an economic

00:13:00.100 and logical standpoint,

00:13:01.800 we may be approaching it

00:13:03.400 in a suboptimal way.

00:13:05.120 Was he invited?

00:13:06.680 No.

00:13:07.340 I don't think so.

00:13:08.680 How about Bjorn Lomborg?

00:13:10.820 Also believes that

00:13:11.840 climate change is real,

00:13:13.860 directionally speaking,

00:13:15.180 but doesn't believe

00:13:16.300 that the panic about it

00:13:19.340 is warranted

00:13:20.020 and has some ideas

00:13:21.780 about that.

00:13:22.680 Was he invited?

00:13:24.660 No.

00:13:26.140 You know,

00:13:26.480 it's one thing

00:13:27.100 it's one thing

00:13:28.280 to not invite people

00:13:29.500 that you consider

00:13:30.800 not credible,

00:13:32.460 but who doesn't think

00:13:33.500 these two are credible?

00:13:35.900 Seriously.

00:13:37.300 Who are the people

00:13:38.360 who are criticizing

00:13:40.040 either Bjorn Lomborg's approach,

00:13:42.060 which is mostly

00:13:42.660 the sort of business

00:13:44.000 economic way

00:13:44.880 of looking at

00:13:45.580 the risk and reward,

00:13:46.940 or Michael Schellenberger's

00:13:49.200 deep dive

00:13:50.540 into the fact

00:13:52.020 that some of the

00:13:52.500 green technology

00:13:53.300 is overrated

00:13:54.120 and has its own problems

00:13:55.560 and that you really

00:13:57.040 can't help poor people 0.81

00:13:58.000 without energy.

00:13:59.100 You know,

00:13:59.240 some basic points

00:14:01.360 about how to manage this

00:14:02.860 if the this

00:14:04.580 is what they agree on.

00:14:07.060 Why don't they get invited?

00:14:09.680 It's because

00:14:10.440 they don't fit

00:14:12.920 with the panic narrative.

00:14:14.180 So this isn't really

00:14:17.040 a climate change summit,

00:14:19.420 is it?

00:14:21.100 It's a manufactured

00:14:22.500 panic summit.

00:14:24.660 Because if it were

00:14:25.700 about the climate,

00:14:27.660 they would invite

00:14:28.480 credible people

00:14:29.660 who have,

00:14:30.820 let's say,

00:14:31.400 I wouldn't even call them,

00:14:32.820 I'm not even sure

00:14:33.560 I would call them

00:14:34.320 opposing opinions.

00:14:36.300 They're almost

00:14:36.960 additive opinions,

00:14:38.320 I would say,

00:14:39.180 or almost

00:14:39.740 clarifying opinions,

00:14:41.440 or at the very least

00:14:42.420 they're productive.

00:14:43.040 Let's just call them

00:14:45.200 productive opinions.

00:14:46.660 Could turn out

00:14:47.540 that maybe,

00:14:48.320 you know,

00:14:48.620 their opinions

00:14:49.240 are off in some ways.

00:14:51.080 But they're productive.

00:14:53.100 I mean,

00:14:53.620 they're bringing up

00:14:54.480 the things

00:14:54.920 we should be talking about

00:14:56.260 and we should know

00:14:57.640 if they're reasonable

00:14:58.320 and sensible.

00:15:00.640 So I would say

00:15:01.340 that you almost

00:15:02.720 can't call

00:15:03.200 the climate summit

00:15:04.040 if they have not

00:15:05.860 invited voices

00:15:07.020 of that type.

00:15:08.100 It doesn't have to be

00:15:08.740 those two people,

00:15:10.000 but they're the most

00:15:10.900 successful,

00:15:11.680 I'd say.

00:15:11.940 So it's just

00:15:14.960 a panic.

00:15:16.320 I think you'd have

00:15:17.300 to call it propaganda,

00:15:19.220 wouldn't you?

00:15:20.020 Just propaganda

00:15:21.180 if they don't have that.

00:15:24.240 All right.

00:15:25.560 Robbie Suaves.

00:15:27.700 I don't know

00:15:28.100 if I'm pronouncing

00:15:28.720 his name right.

00:15:29.560 S-O-A-V-E-S. 1.00

00:15:31.240 Anyway,

00:15:31.600 he writes for a reason

00:15:32.520 and he's got

00:15:35.720 an article

00:15:36.480 about the

00:15:37.140 Loudoun assault,

00:15:38.360 Loudoun assault.

00:15:39.940 Now,

00:15:40.960 I'm going to talk

00:15:41.460 about the skirted boy

00:15:43.400 allegedly assaulting

00:15:45.180 the student

00:15:46.680 in the woman's bathroom. 1.00

00:15:49.040 Now,

00:15:49.220 that's the story

00:15:49.900 and then there are

00:15:50.980 details below

00:15:51.680 the story,

00:15:52.240 etc.

00:15:54.960 When I heard

00:15:55.860 the story,

00:15:56.740 I said,

00:15:58.100 there's something

00:15:58.520 BS about this story.

00:15:59.840 This is fake news.

00:16:02.280 And the reason

00:16:03.020 I gave is that

00:16:03.780 it was too

00:16:04.200 on the nose.

00:16:05.600 Oh,

00:16:05.920 really?

00:16:06.540 There's a trans 0.98

00:16:07.740 student attacking

00:16:08.960 somebody in the bathroom

00:16:09.960 exactly when that's

00:16:11.380 like in the news.

00:16:12.960 When we're talking

00:16:13.800 about those

00:16:14.360 bathroom policies,

00:16:15.840 exactly then,

00:16:16.960 that's when

00:16:17.380 the attack happens

00:16:19.000 that fits the headlines.

00:16:20.000 So,

00:16:20.520 I said it was

00:16:20.940 fake news.

00:16:22.840 I said it was

00:16:23.340 fake news.

00:16:24.820 Was I right?

00:16:26.280 Well,

00:16:26.840 let's do a deep dive

00:16:27.900 and the answer

00:16:28.400 is yes and no.

00:16:30.040 So,

00:16:30.520 don't get too excited

00:16:31.320 until you hear

00:16:31.800 my full explanation.

00:16:33.600 You might be

00:16:34.000 satisfied

00:16:34.880 with the full

00:16:36.240 explanation,

00:16:37.000 but until I get

00:16:37.940 to the full thing,

00:16:39.360 you might be

00:16:39.820 unhappy.

00:16:41.440 So,

00:16:41.940 here's what I

00:16:42.480 understand.

00:16:43.320 So,

00:16:43.640 the Daily Wire

00:16:44.560 had a story

00:16:45.440 and then that

00:16:46.760 story got

00:16:47.340 enlarged to

00:16:48.540 the larger

00:16:49.540 right-wing

00:16:51.160 media for the

00:16:52.040 most part.

00:16:52.840 And you need

00:16:53.640 to make a

00:16:54.060 distinction

00:16:54.560 between how

00:16:55.860 the Daily Wire

00:16:56.700 covered it

00:16:57.420 and how it

00:16:59.160 was later

00:16:59.680 interpreted by

00:17:00.720 social media

00:17:01.560 and Fox News

00:17:02.700 hosts,

00:17:03.340 etc.

00:17:03.520 Can you make

00:17:05.800 that distinction?

00:17:06.360 One is the

00:17:07.960 Daily Wire

00:17:08.540 story.

00:17:09.740 Was that

00:17:10.360 accurate or

00:17:11.100 not accurate?

00:17:12.180 And then there

00:17:12.640 was how the

00:17:13.320 public interpreted

00:17:14.300 it and then

00:17:15.360 the other

00:17:16.020 media.

00:17:17.800 My understanding

00:17:19.000 is that the

00:17:20.400 Daily Wire

00:17:20.960 story was

00:17:21.760 factually

00:17:22.620 correct.

00:17:23.640 Does anybody

00:17:24.120 disagree with

00:17:24.720 that?

00:17:26.440 Does anybody

00:17:26.980 disagree that

00:17:27.760 the Daily Wire

00:17:28.660 story was

00:17:30.800 factually correct?

00:17:31.820 It didn't

00:17:32.280 have as many

00:17:33.400 details as

00:17:34.040 we've learned.

00:17:36.340 Now, I'm

00:17:36.900 seeing somebody

00:17:37.340 say, I'm

00:17:37.840 moving the

00:17:38.340 goalposts.

00:17:39.100 Hold that

00:17:39.740 thought.

00:17:40.720 Hold that

00:17:41.140 thought.

00:17:41.840 That's a good

00:17:42.340 thought.

00:17:43.260 So that's

00:17:43.760 exactly where

00:17:44.400 your brain

00:17:44.840 should be

00:17:45.160 right now.

00:17:46.180 You should

00:17:46.580 be asking if

00:17:47.240 I'm moving

00:17:47.760 the goalposts.

00:17:49.760 That's the

00:17:50.200 right thought.

00:17:51.900 Okay, but

00:17:52.200 hold that

00:17:52.540 thought.

00:17:53.660 All right.

00:17:54.320 So I'm not

00:17:56.400 aware of anything

00:17:57.060 in the Daily Wire

00:17:57.980 story that was

00:17:58.800 incorrect.

00:17:59.740 Are we good?

00:18:00.500 Now, what

00:18:01.800 Robby Suave

00:18:02.400 says is that

00:18:03.180 the right

00:18:04.660 leaning media

00:18:05.460 got it

00:18:05.980 wrong.

00:18:07.320 So when he

00:18:07.720 says the

00:18:08.080 right leaning

00:18:08.540 media, he's

00:18:10.600 not talking

00:18:11.120 about just

00:18:11.640 that one

00:18:12.100 outlet that

00:18:12.940 started with

00:18:13.520 the story.

00:18:14.300 He's talking

00:18:14.840 about the

00:18:15.560 larger

00:18:15.960 interpretation

00:18:16.780 of it,

00:18:17.360 et cetera.

00:18:17.980 I agree

00:18:18.780 with Robby

00:18:20.340 that the

00:18:21.400 larger

00:18:21.760 interpretation

00:18:22.300 of it is

00:18:23.200 misleading.

00:18:26.520 And I'll

00:18:26.840 tell you

00:18:27.240 why.

00:18:28.480 Which is

00:18:29.180 different from

00:18:29.840 did the

00:18:30.640 Daily Wire

00:18:31.280 cover it

00:18:32.200 correctly?

00:18:32.880 In other

00:18:33.180 words, the

00:18:33.940 things that

00:18:34.360 they knew

00:18:34.640 at the

00:18:34.860 time, are

00:18:35.220 they

00:18:35.380 accurate?

00:18:36.060 As far

00:18:36.400 as I

00:18:36.600 know, yes.

00:18:38.160 Is there

00:18:38.900 any disagreement

00:18:39.400 on that?

00:18:40.480 As far

00:18:40.840 as I

00:18:41.080 know, I

00:18:41.460 don't believe

00:18:44.060 anybody has

00:18:44.900 criticized the

00:18:45.820 accuracy of

00:18:46.720 it.

00:18:47.600 Just that

00:18:48.180 we've learned

00:18:48.660 new things

00:18:49.120 since then.

00:18:50.940 Okay.

00:18:52.640 So here's

00:18:53.360 what we

00:18:53.660 know.

00:18:54.280 The kid

00:18:54.660 was, the

00:18:55.380 alleged

00:18:56.140 assailant was

00:18:57.180 not trans.

00:18:58.900 He was

00:18:59.220 not trans.

00:19:00.240 He did

00:19:00.560 have a

00:19:00.860 skirt, and 1.00

00:19:02.080 he was

00:19:02.300 known to

00:19:02.660 wear a

00:19:02.960 skirt, but 0.99

00:19:03.940 he was

00:19:04.120 not trans.

00:19:04.800 I think

00:19:05.040 he was

00:19:05.280 gender

00:19:05.640 fluid or

00:19:06.220 something.

00:19:07.900 The

00:19:08.400 bathroom

00:19:08.840 policy was

00:19:10.580 not in

00:19:11.020 effect when

00:19:11.660 it happened.

00:19:13.200 That's

00:19:13.680 important.

00:19:14.700 So the

00:19:15.120 fact that

00:19:15.540 he wore a

00:19:16.100 skirt had 0.51

00:19:17.440 nothing to

00:19:18.060 do with

00:19:18.420 his access

00:19:18.960 to the

00:19:19.340 bathroom.

00:19:20.080 Does

00:19:20.280 everybody

00:19:20.560 know that?

00:19:21.860 Did you

00:19:22.300 know?

00:19:23.840 Did you

00:19:24.480 know that

00:19:25.560 the fact

00:19:25.960 he had

00:19:26.240 his skirt

00:19:26.760 did not

00:19:28.180 give him

00:19:28.800 access to

00:19:29.500 the bathroom?

00:19:30.760 How many

00:19:31.100 of you knew

00:19:31.500 that?

00:19:32.260 Because it

00:19:32.720 was two

00:19:33.060 weeks before

00:19:33.600 they would

00:19:33.880 even make

00:19:34.240 a decision

00:19:34.720 about trans

00:19:35.900 access to

00:19:36.440 the bathrooms.

00:19:37.440 How many

00:19:38.020 of you knew

00:19:38.400 that?

00:19:39.520 That wearing

00:19:40.240 the skirt

00:19:40.820 had nothing

00:19:41.380 to do with

00:19:42.640 his access

00:19:43.160 to the

00:19:43.540 bathroom?

00:19:44.320 In fact,

00:19:45.720 the two

00:19:46.040 were either

00:19:47.700 something like

00:19:48.440 a couple

00:19:48.900 or a thing

00:19:49.680 because they

00:19:50.700 had used

00:19:51.120 this exact

00:19:51.720 same woman's 0.93

00:19:52.560 bathroom in

00:19:53.140 the past

00:19:53.720 for hookups. 0.88

00:19:55.560 So this

00:19:56.980 was not a

00:19:57.520 random

00:19:57.820 assault.

00:19:58.460 It was

00:19:58.780 somebody who

00:19:59.260 had a

00:19:59.480 relationship,

00:20:00.260 a sexual

00:20:00.680 one,

00:20:01.680 with the

00:20:02.140 person who

00:20:02.740 allegedly was

00:20:03.620 assaulted.

00:20:04.440 Still makes

00:20:04.960 it an

00:20:05.240 assault,

00:20:06.020 right?

00:20:06.520 The fact

00:20:07.100 that it's

00:20:07.400 a relationship

00:20:08.000 or had

00:20:08.540 been a

00:20:08.820 relationship

00:20:09.200 isn't

00:20:10.280 related to

00:20:10.860 whether it

00:20:11.220 was an

00:20:11.760 assault.

00:20:12.520 It's just

00:20:12.960 context.

00:20:14.720 So the

00:20:15.020 skirt had 0.51

00:20:15.500 nothing to

00:20:15.980 do with

00:20:16.260 it and

00:20:16.700 he was

00:20:17.040 not trans.

00:20:18.360 But as

00:20:19.060 the Daily

00:20:19.500 Wire...

00:20:21.320 Wait,

00:20:21.760 hold on.

00:20:23.280 We'll get

00:20:23.900 to your

00:20:24.200 criticisms of

00:20:24.960 me in a

00:20:25.360 moment.

00:20:25.560 But the

00:20:27.080 Daily Wire

00:20:28.000 did not

00:20:28.540 claim the

00:20:29.160 kid was

00:20:29.480 trans.

00:20:30.260 Am I

00:20:30.560 right?

00:20:31.620 The Daily

00:20:32.140 Wire story

00:20:32.760 never said

00:20:33.260 the kid

00:20:33.560 was trans.

00:20:35.920 It said

00:20:36.400 it was

00:20:36.780 about

00:20:37.440 gender

00:20:38.480 fluidity and

00:20:39.520 that maybe

00:20:39.900 the decision

00:20:40.560 about the

00:20:41.820 trans access

00:20:43.160 to bathrooms,

00:20:44.660 they didn't...

00:20:45.440 The accusation

00:20:46.780 is that the

00:20:47.480 administration

00:20:48.120 didn't want to

00:20:48.780 mess up that

00:20:49.340 question and

00:20:50.940 so they

00:20:51.380 hid the...

00:20:53.540 They might

00:20:54.940 have tried to

00:20:55.920 hide the

00:20:56.260 assault so

00:20:56.980 it didn't

00:20:57.340 interfere with

00:20:58.240 the separate

00:20:59.080 question.

00:20:59.880 Because people

00:21:00.600 would confuse

00:21:01.160 the issues.

00:21:03.660 Now, I don't

00:21:04.460 know about that,

00:21:05.100 nor did I have

00:21:05.820 an opinion on

00:21:06.420 that.

00:21:06.920 Now, can those

00:21:08.760 who have been

00:21:09.040 watching my

00:21:09.540 opinion, did I

00:21:10.760 ever express

00:21:11.660 any opinion

00:21:13.160 about the

00:21:14.640 policy change

00:21:15.700 or anybody

00:21:16.320 hiding anything

00:21:17.100 about the

00:21:17.560 policy change

00:21:18.540 or the fact

00:21:19.640 that the

00:21:20.140 administration

00:21:20.680 should have

00:21:21.280 done more?

00:21:22.260 You've never

00:21:22.680 heard me talk

00:21:23.160 about that,

00:21:23.620 right?

00:21:25.280 You've never

00:21:25.820 heard me talk

00:21:26.340 about the

00:21:26.640 details.

00:21:27.780 The only thing

00:21:28.280 I said when

00:21:28.880 I heard the

00:21:29.360 story is,

00:21:30.160 this is not

00:21:31.100 a story about

00:21:31.780 a trans

00:21:32.540 assault in a

00:21:34.360 bathroom.

00:21:35.720 The part that

00:21:36.740 I will say

00:21:37.740 was correct

00:21:38.920 is I knew

00:21:40.260 the narrative

00:21:40.960 of it was

00:21:41.660 wrong.

00:21:43.140 That the

00:21:43.820 story of a

00:21:44.680 trans

00:21:45.320 student

00:21:46.360 assaulting

00:21:47.480 somebody in

00:21:47.920 a bathroom

00:21:48.240 didn't happen.

00:21:49.560 So that was

00:21:50.000 my take.

00:21:51.000 My take is

00:21:51.800 that the

00:21:52.160 central belief

00:21:53.920 of it,

00:21:54.660 that a

00:21:55.000 trans person

00:21:55.980 had assaulted

00:21:57.520 a, let's say,

00:21:58.400 a random

00:21:58.700 person in a

00:21:59.540 restroom,

00:22:00.080 wasn't true.

00:22:01.580 So I could

00:22:02.300 tell that that

00:22:02.880 wasn't true.

00:22:04.180 I did not

00:22:04.760 have an opinion

00:22:05.380 about the

00:22:06.100 cover-up,

00:22:06.860 which apparently

00:22:07.440 happened.

00:22:08.580 I did not

00:22:09.080 have an opinion

00:22:09.620 about the

00:22:10.380 father's

00:22:13.060 behavior.

00:22:14.300 I have an

00:22:14.820 opinion.

00:22:15.020 I just

00:22:15.420 wasn't

00:22:16.320 important to

00:22:16.820 me.

00:22:17.740 It wasn't

00:22:18.280 important enough

00:22:18.840 that you

00:22:19.120 hear it.

00:22:20.280 I didn't

00:22:20.940 have an

00:22:21.300 opinion about

00:22:22.140 gender fluidity 0.91

00:22:24.780 being important

00:22:25.480 to the story,

00:22:26.480 because it

00:22:27.200 was.

00:22:28.240 I didn't

00:22:28.900 have an

00:22:29.280 opinion about

00:22:30.360 most of the

00:22:31.900 parts of the

00:22:32.360 story.

00:22:33.640 So if you're

00:22:34.180 saying I'm

00:22:34.620 moving the

00:22:35.120 goalpost,

00:22:35.640 remember, I

00:22:36.980 wasn't even

00:22:37.500 talking about

00:22:38.160 most of the

00:22:38.760 story, nor

00:22:39.340 did I have

00:22:39.780 any criticism

00:22:40.460 or objection

00:22:41.080 to it.

00:22:41.540 I had one

00:22:42.940 and only one

00:22:43.540 objection, that

00:22:44.940 on the face

00:22:45.600 of it, it

00:22:46.960 probably wasn't

00:22:48.460 a story about

00:22:49.940 a trans

00:22:50.840 attacking a

00:22:52.400 random person

00:22:53.040 in a woman's 0.95

00:22:54.080 bathroom.

00:22:54.400 Now, how

00:22:59.740 many want to

00:23:00.380 disagree with

00:23:01.280 my characterization

00:23:02.260 of my own

00:23:03.260 opinion?

00:23:04.580 Go.

00:23:05.300 Because I know

00:23:05.780 you well.

00:23:06.680 I want to see

00:23:07.360 how many of you

00:23:08.340 think I moved

00:23:09.080 the goalposts.

00:23:09.400 I don't think

00:23:14.120 you said that.

00:23:14.900 BS.

00:23:15.700 You originally

00:23:16.560 said no skirt.

00:23:19.780 Correct.

00:23:20.680 Okay, that's a

00:23:21.260 good comment.

00:23:22.160 So I originally

00:23:23.020 said I doubted

00:23:24.260 there was a

00:23:24.820 skirt involved,

00:23:26.220 and there was

00:23:26.700 a skirt involved. 0.99

00:23:28.300 But that was,

00:23:29.360 the larger context

00:23:30.820 was doubting that

00:23:31.740 there was a

00:23:32.180 trans involved.

00:23:34.260 But the skirt

00:23:36.100 part, I'll take

00:23:37.020 that as wrong.

00:23:39.400 All right.

00:23:41.480 No, you didn't

00:23:42.440 disagree.

00:23:43.320 Okay, looks like

00:23:44.060 your comments are

00:23:44.680 not very productive.

00:23:45.880 They're sort of

00:23:46.280 generic.

00:23:47.320 But I'll move on.

00:23:48.920 So I'm going to

00:23:49.700 say that I sniffed

00:23:50.820 out that story as

00:23:51.780 being incorrect the

00:23:53.040 way it was

00:23:53.560 interpreted.

00:23:55.580 So what I did

00:23:57.480 not criticize,

00:23:58.320 in fact, I never

00:23:59.060 read, is the

00:24:01.180 Daily Wire story.

00:24:02.880 So a couple of

00:24:03.640 the reporters,

00:24:04.620 one investigative

00:24:06.940 reporter, and

00:24:09.200 somebody else

00:24:09.740 associated with

00:24:10.460 that, defended

00:24:12.120 their reporting,

00:24:14.060 I think either

00:24:14.900 from Robbie or

00:24:15.760 defended it against

00:24:17.020 my tweet.

00:24:18.240 But I don't

00:24:18.920 think they need

00:24:19.460 to.

00:24:20.120 I don't think

00:24:20.900 they need to

00:24:21.400 defend their

00:24:21.920 story because I

00:24:22.640 don't think the

00:24:23.120 story was

00:24:23.720 incorrect.

00:24:25.280 It was what we

00:24:26.000 knew at the

00:24:26.360 time.

00:24:28.300 Okay.

00:24:29.040 All right.

00:24:31.940 Colin Kaepernick

00:24:33.000 has a special in

00:24:34.940 which he compares

00:24:35.580 the NFL draft to

00:24:37.020 slavery.

00:24:39.820 May I make a

00:24:42.220 criticism?

00:24:44.460 Anybody?

00:24:45.660 Would anybody

00:24:46.160 like to hear me

00:24:47.000 criticize?

00:24:49.600 Not just Colin

00:24:50.760 Kaepernick, who I

00:24:52.080 think has some good

00:24:52.760 qualities, by the

00:24:53.480 way.

00:24:53.840 I've said good

00:24:54.580 things about him in

00:24:55.300 the past.

00:24:56.480 And I like the

00:24:57.320 fact that he's a

00:24:58.260 rebel.

00:25:00.400 I like the fact that

00:25:01.460 he's got balls of

00:25:02.460 steel.

00:25:02.760 I like the fact

00:25:04.380 that he's not

00:25:04.940 afraid of anything,

00:25:05.880 apparently.

00:25:06.740 There's a lot to

00:25:07.500 like about this

00:25:08.120 guy, even if you

00:25:09.380 don't like his

00:25:10.420 larger deal.

00:25:12.080 Can we agree?

00:25:13.100 And by the way, I

00:25:13.900 like to do this as

00:25:14.900 often as I can

00:25:16.700 manage it, to say

00:25:18.100 good things about

00:25:18.940 people that I'm

00:25:20.360 also going to

00:25:21.080 criticize.

00:25:22.620 Because I think it

00:25:23.480 goes down better,

00:25:24.180 right?

00:25:25.060 So he's talented

00:25:26.920 and he's brave,

00:25:30.340 and I think his

00:25:31.600 topic is important.

00:25:32.760 Even if you

00:25:33.500 disagree on the

00:25:34.100 details of it.

00:25:35.780 But here's some

00:25:36.920 other stuff I think

00:25:38.020 just has to be

00:25:38.740 mentioned.

00:25:41.900 As someone who

00:25:42.860 identifies as

00:25:44.080 black, that's me.

00:25:46.560 I don't know if

00:25:47.140 you know that, but I

00:25:48.640 self-identify as

00:25:49.480 black.

00:25:50.560 And so that gives

00:25:51.160 me a little bit of

00:25:52.060 something in common

00:25:52.840 with Colin Kaepernick,

00:25:54.120 because I believe he

00:25:54.780 identifies as black.

00:25:57.100 And like me, some

00:25:58.440 people might quibble

00:25:59.340 about his self-

00:26:00.260 identification, but

00:26:01.300 guess what?

00:26:03.400 It's not up to you.

00:26:06.380 That's the beauty of

00:26:07.360 self-identification.

00:26:09.640 Kaepernick can say

00:26:10.640 that the black part of

00:26:12.580 his identity is his

00:26:13.800 main identity, and we

00:26:15.300 accept that.

00:26:16.760 And I can say that I

00:26:18.500 identify as black for

00:26:20.560 the benefits I get from

00:26:21.640 that, and you're going

00:26:23.060 to have to accept it.

00:26:24.140 It's just up to me.

00:26:25.160 It's not up to you.

00:26:26.220 That's just the rule.

00:26:27.080 I'm sorry.

00:26:28.960 So I relate to Colin in

00:26:30.620 that way, because we're

00:26:31.500 both probably criticized

00:26:32.640 for not being black

00:26:33.900 enough.

00:26:35.100 But here are some of my

00:26:36.780 comments about black

00:26:37.940 leadership.

00:26:39.740 Why is it that black 1.00

00:26:41.840 leaders in America are

00:26:44.280 so bad at it?

00:26:46.200 Is it the media is

00:26:47.700 promoting the wrong

00:26:48.700 people?

00:26:50.020 Because people become

00:26:51.320 famous because the media

00:26:52.540 decides they're famous,

00:26:53.580 right?

00:26:54.800 Do black leaders become 1.00

00:26:56.300 black leaders because the

00:26:58.140 black population wants 1.00

00:26:59.500 them to be leaders?

00:27:01.260 Or do they become

00:27:02.140 leaders because the media

00:27:03.340 sort of appoints them?

00:27:05.580 Because I feel like the

00:27:07.380 white media is appointing

00:27:08.980 leaders for the black

00:27:10.180 public and doing a

00:27:11.600 terrible job of it, like a

00:27:13.680 really bad job of it.

00:27:15.480 Here's the problem with

00:27:16.720 Colin Kaepernick.

00:27:18.300 I don't think he

00:27:19.300 understands that he's

00:27:20.320 supposed to be influencing

00:27:21.500 white people, right?

00:27:26.620 I mean, primarily.

00:27:28.040 He'd like to influence

00:27:28.860 everyone, but don't you

00:27:30.420 get the biggest bang for

00:27:31.820 the buck if you're looking

00:27:32.700 to fix, I don't know,

00:27:34.260 whatever, structural

00:27:36.180 racism, violence by the

00:27:38.280 police, whatever you're

00:27:39.020 trying to fix, you're

00:27:40.560 going to need to influence

00:27:42.260 a bunch of white people to

00:27:44.020 get anything done.

00:27:45.780 And I'm not so sure he's

00:27:47.220 the best choice for that.

00:27:48.340 Number one, you should

00:27:52.840 not keep your name

00:27:54.920 Colin if you want to be

00:27:58.340 taken seriously.

00:28:00.640 Because Colin makes me

00:28:02.920 think of Colin every time

00:28:04.680 I read it.

00:28:05.800 Am I the only one?

00:28:06.800 Let me check on this.

00:28:07.940 In the comments, when you

00:28:10.940 see somebody named Colin,

00:28:13.020 C-O-L-I-N, do you not 0.99

00:28:15.980 immediately think of an

00:28:16.980 asshole in the comments?

00:28:19.040 Go.

00:28:20.420 Am I the only one?

00:28:25.220 Let's see.

00:28:26.740 Okay, I'm seeing some

00:28:27.600 yeses, some noes.

00:28:30.140 Same with Colin Powell.

00:28:31.460 Yeah, Colin Powell.

00:28:32.440 Every time I heard the

00:28:33.160 word, I'm like, colon,

00:28:34.380 asshole.

00:28:36.780 Oh, interesting.

00:28:37.920 So a lot of you, I'm

00:28:39.200 seeing yeses, but a lot

00:28:40.580 of noes.

00:28:42.200 Huh.

00:28:42.380 I guess it's just me.

00:28:45.860 There are enough yeses

00:28:47.620 that I think my point

00:28:48.880 stands, which is you

00:28:50.680 should change your name

00:28:51.420 immediately if you're

00:28:52.180 trying to be influential.

00:28:55.580 I'm only half kidding

00:28:56.660 about that.

00:28:57.560 I probably would have

00:28:58.460 changed my name if that

00:28:59.460 was my name.

00:29:00.400 If that were my name.

00:29:01.780 All right.

00:29:03.080 The other thing is, if

00:29:05.820 you want to be taken

00:29:06.540 seriously, don't have

00:29:10.080 clown hair, right?

00:29:12.680 Now, I know Trump

00:29:14.420 has unusual hair, too.

00:29:17.360 But Trump's unusual

00:29:18.660 hair seems still within

00:29:20.680 the realm of haircuts.

00:29:23.620 He just has an unusual

00:29:24.660 one.

00:29:25.660 Whereas Collins is

00:29:26.740 clearly a branding,

00:29:28.680 trademark kind of thing.

00:29:30.760 He's gotten down to

00:29:32.320 enormous size.

00:29:36.820 Now, on one hand, it's

00:29:38.060 really good for standing

00:29:42.020 out.

00:29:43.020 It's really good for, if

00:29:44.420 you want to stay in the

00:29:45.200 public eye, to be

00:29:46.520 different in some way

00:29:47.580 visually.

00:29:48.460 Visually being different

00:29:50.080 is actually a pretty good

00:29:50.920 strategy.

00:29:52.280 So, being different is

00:29:54.280 good.

00:29:55.160 But here's the thing.

00:29:56.320 What do white people

00:29:57.280 think when they see

00:29:58.120 that?

00:29:59.800 Do white people, when

00:30:01.020 they look at Colin

00:30:03.320 Kaepernick's hairstyle, say

00:30:04.820 to themselves, wow, he's

00:30:07.480 really done a good job of

00:30:09.860 standing out.

00:30:11.160 I like the fact that he's

00:30:12.380 making himself, you

00:30:13.420 know, interesting and

00:30:14.860 different, and it's a

00:30:15.920 style question.

00:30:16.880 I don't think so.

00:30:18.340 I think that it makes him

00:30:20.400 look less credible.

00:30:22.520 How many would you agree

00:30:24.220 with that?

00:30:24.580 Now, remember, I'm not

00:30:26.560 saying the hair is good or

00:30:27.760 bad.

00:30:28.260 It has nothing to do with

00:30:29.720 my opinion of his

00:30:30.740 fashion.

00:30:31.620 I'm saying how do people

00:30:32.820 receive it?

00:30:33.440 The people he's trying to

00:30:34.840 persuade.

00:30:36.440 Persuade, do they look at

00:30:38.620 that?

00:30:39.220 You know, do the Republicans

00:30:41.180 in North Dakota, they look

00:30:44.100 at that hairstyle and say,

00:30:45.160 there's a man I'm going to

00:30:45.900 listen to?

00:30:47.380 No.

00:30:48.040 It reminds you of Bozo the

00:30:49.280 Clown.

00:30:50.520 And it's hard to take him

00:30:52.660 seriously.

00:30:54.040 Now, I think Trump had a

00:30:55.600 little bit of the same

00:30:56.260 problem.

00:30:57.400 I think that Trump had

00:30:59.100 problems being taken

00:31:00.220 seriously because of his

00:31:01.480 hair.

00:31:01.720 And it wasn't until he

00:31:03.400 served an entire term as a

00:31:04.920 president that people stopped

00:31:06.820 talking about his hair.

00:31:09.240 Have you noticed that?

00:31:11.640 When was the last time

00:31:12.620 somebody mocked Trump for

00:31:15.180 his haircut?

00:31:16.660 Think about that.

00:31:18.360 Think about the fact that

00:31:20.240 Trump made his haircut go

00:31:23.920 away just by performing for

00:31:26.440 four years.

00:31:27.220 Because when Trump was

00:31:28.600 somebody who was, you know,

00:31:29.680 talking about being

00:31:30.480 president but hadn't done

00:31:31.600 anything in that domain, you

00:31:33.440 can mock him for

00:31:34.240 everything.

00:31:35.180 Ah, look at that clown

00:31:36.260 hair.

00:31:37.140 He'll never be president.

00:31:38.900 But then when he is

00:31:39.760 president for four years and

00:31:41.020 you get a result that many

00:31:42.180 would say, many would say,

00:31:44.080 in fact, a majority of

00:31:44.960 Americans at this point did a

00:31:46.680 better job than Biden.

00:31:48.420 Well, suddenly you don't make

00:31:49.480 fun of his hair anymore, do

00:31:51.120 you?

00:31:51.780 His hair isn't so funny now,

00:31:53.500 is it?

00:31:55.140 Now, Colin Kaepernick has that

00:31:56.780 same problem.

00:31:57.380 Until he's done something

00:31:58.960 substantial, I don't think he

00:32:04.180 can get away with that hair.

00:32:06.280 I think it's a risk.

00:32:07.720 So I think that's a bad

00:32:08.800 judgment.

00:32:09.580 But talk about bad judgment.

00:32:10.960 He's got this special in which

00:32:13.900 he has compared NFL to slavery,

00:32:15.820 and I guess there's a scene in

00:32:16.960 it in which he's, you know,

00:32:18.600 contrasting visions of slaves put

00:32:21.560 on the block and chains with

00:32:24.380 NFL players, all black in the

00:32:26.500 special, who are lined up to be

00:32:28.940 examined by the owners of the

00:32:30.480 teams.

00:32:31.320 So NFL, it's like slavery.

00:32:36.120 Problem.

00:32:37.360 Problem with the analogy, if I

00:32:39.220 may.

00:32:40.380 Has anybody ever heard me mention

00:32:42.260 that analogies are not as

00:32:44.540 persuasive as people think they

00:32:46.220 are?

00:32:46.580 Have I ever said that?

00:32:48.100 Yes, every single day.

00:32:49.940 Every day I tell you analogies do

00:32:52.020 not persuade.

00:32:53.380 I also use them.

00:32:54.420 You could use an analogy to make a

00:32:57.920 point, and that's good, but they

00:33:00.860 don't persuade because people just

00:33:03.420 argue about the difference.

00:33:04.740 Well, that's not the same.

00:33:06.240 Watch me do it.

00:33:07.720 This is why you don't use

00:33:09.320 analogies.

00:33:11.160 This guy, Colin Kaepernick, in

00:33:15.840 public, spent a lot of money and

00:33:17.840 time to create a piece of art and

00:33:20.420 persuasion that compares the NFL to

00:33:24.160 slavery, but there are some

00:33:25.960 differences that I think need to be

00:33:27.700 pointed out.

00:33:28.840 I'm no historian, so I need a fact

00:33:30.720 check on this, right?

00:33:31.920 Are there any historians here?

00:33:34.680 A lot of people watching.

00:33:36.000 I'll bet some of you must be at least

00:33:37.860 one historian.

00:33:39.100 Can somebody fact check me on this?

00:33:40.780 Because my education on this domain is

00:33:44.440 not complete.

00:33:46.160 But I don't remember seeing a lesson

00:33:48.800 about people begging to be slaves.

00:33:53.660 Were there people who tried all their

00:33:55.480 lives to become slaves who were not

00:33:57.500 slaves, not born slaves, but they

00:33:59.400 worked really hard, and they trained

00:34:01.420 and they trained and they trained until

00:34:02.800 they could become slaves?

00:34:03.980 Was that in history?

00:34:06.900 Because I don't remember that.

00:34:07.840 Because that does apply to the NFL.

00:34:10.720 The NFL is someplace where people

00:34:12.840 train for years and years, and it's

00:34:14.700 their greatest dream to become an

00:34:16.160 NFL player.

00:34:17.660 And by the way, can somebody also do a

00:34:20.160 fact check on this?

00:34:21.200 I need another fact check.

00:34:23.300 Are white people allowed to play in the 0.99

00:34:25.700 NFL?

00:34:27.380 Because I'm a little confused by the

00:34:29.060 documentary.

00:34:30.580 It would seem to suggest that white

00:34:32.160 people are not allowed to play in the

00:34:34.340 NFL.

00:34:34.760 Are they still allowed?

00:34:36.340 Can you be white and be in the NFL?

00:34:39.460 Because if you can be, I'm a little

00:34:40.780 confused.

00:34:42.260 Because do the white NFL players have a

00:34:45.900 different process?

00:34:47.460 And maybe only the black players are

00:34:49.340 lined up in front of the owners.

00:34:51.940 Do the white NFL players, and I know 0.96

00:34:54.480 there are not many of them, but do the

00:34:56.360 white players, they get picked down to

00:34:58.860 they go, oh, hold on, hold on.

00:35:00.920 We only do the slave thing with the 0.97

00:35:03.360 black players, is that what's

00:35:04.520 happening?

00:35:05.240 And then the white players go to a

00:35:06.940 go to a fine dining place and just

00:35:09.500 have dinner with the owners?

00:35:11.700 You know, have some drinks?

00:35:14.160 I need a fact check, because Colin is

00:35:17.100 indicating that only the black people

00:35:19.900 get in the NFL.

00:35:21.520 He doesn't say that, but that's sort of

00:35:23.860 the implication.

00:35:25.120 Do you see the problem with the

00:35:26.240 analogy?

00:35:26.600 And I'm also, I need another fact check

00:35:29.760 on this, but how much, what was the

00:35:33.140 average pay of the slaves?

00:35:35.260 Can somebody give me a fact check?

00:35:37.520 Because, again, I remember it as being

00:35:40.900 kind of low.

00:35:43.260 Slaves were not paid millions of

00:35:46.040 dollars a year, right?

00:35:47.380 Am I wrong about that?

00:35:49.020 Because, again, I'm confused.

00:35:51.840 Yeah, right?

00:35:52.460 Below minimum wage, exactly.

00:35:54.160 Somebody is saying the slaves were

00:35:55.640 actually paid below minimum wage, and

00:35:57.740 that's not good.

00:35:59.180 I mean, some people are saying it was

00:36:00.480 zero.

00:36:02.040 Zero.

00:36:03.740 Oh, yeah, that's what a slave is.

00:36:06.780 Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.

00:36:08.300 Slaves get paid zero. 0.91

00:36:09.600 What does the NFL get paid?

00:36:11.120 It must be zero, because he wouldn't

00:36:12.580 have used this analogy.

00:36:14.140 Do NFL players get paid zero?

00:36:17.640 Can somebody fact check that for me?

00:36:19.300 So, anyway, I feel as though the black 0.99

00:36:28.900 population of this country is absolutely

00:36:33.260 getting screwed by their own leaders

00:36:36.220 being incompetent, really. 0.61

00:36:37.920 Because imagine what a capable black 1.00

00:36:41.140 leader could get done.

00:36:43.160 I mean, just think about it.

00:36:44.680 Just think about a capable black leader

00:36:46.940 who just said, you know, I don't like

00:36:49.040 the Republican thing, but I'm going

00:36:52.540 to work with them.

00:36:53.740 I'm going to find some things we have

00:36:54.920 in common.

00:36:55.880 I'm going to make that happen and see

00:36:57.280 if we can get some momentum going.

00:37:01.040 I mean, that would be effective.

00:37:03.440 That would be effective.

00:37:05.040 That's what a good black leader would

00:37:06.800 look like.

00:37:07.760 Yeah, Larry Elder, somebody like that

00:37:09.400 could pull that off.

00:37:10.460 But I think as long as you have

00:37:14.280 CNN, a bunch of white people 0.91

00:37:16.780 deciding who they're going to,

00:37:18.800 and I'll just use CNN as a stand-in

00:37:20.860 for the left.

00:37:22.120 As long as you have the media

00:37:23.280 picking your leaders and deciding

00:37:25.040 who gets attention and who gets

00:37:26.500 a documentary and who gets a big

00:37:29.080 article about them, who gets to be

00:37:30.860 on the cover of the magazine, as long

00:37:32.680 as it's a bunch of white people

00:37:33.860 making those decisions, it's white 1.00

00:37:35.880 people picking black leaders.

00:37:37.240 Because attention is what makes you

00:37:40.620 a leader, as much as anything.

00:37:44.120 So, I would call that systemic racism,

00:37:49.520 where your white media gets to pick

00:37:52.260 your black leaders, and they don't 1.00

00:37:54.280 do a good job of it.

00:37:56.440 Wouldn't that fall under the category

00:37:58.920 of white supremacy, supported by CNN?

00:38:04.740 I think so.

00:38:05.720 I don't really think that's too far,

00:38:08.020 is it?

00:38:08.680 If you knew, if you were some

00:38:10.680 ethnicity, and you knew that

00:38:11.920 different ethnicities decided who

00:38:13.720 your leader was going to be, would

00:38:16.060 you consider that okay?

00:38:17.800 I don't think so.

00:38:20.700 All right.

00:38:22.660 Did you see the G20 photo?

00:38:24.580 I don't know if this is

00:38:25.320 photoshopped.

00:38:25.900 Is this real?

00:38:27.300 This looks unreal.

00:38:29.160 So I want to say I'm not sure I

00:38:30.700 believe it yet.

00:38:31.760 But you remember the story of

00:38:33.240 Trump, was it the G8 or the G20?

00:38:35.500 The famous thing where he shoved

00:38:37.380 himself, you know, sort of humorously

00:38:39.800 shoved himself to the front of the

00:38:41.240 line, or the middle, central part.

00:38:44.500 And that became a famous thing.

00:38:46.500 It's like, oh God, our president's a

00:38:48.920 bully, he's shoving around these 0.66

00:38:50.280 people and putting himself in front.

00:38:53.000 And then we see the Biden picture, if

00:38:54.760 it's real, it might be photoshopped,

00:38:56.460 because I can't even believe it.

00:38:58.120 And the group is together, and then

00:39:00.380 he's like standing off the side like he

00:39:02.100 wasn't really invited, like he was

00:39:04.060 sneaking into the picture or

00:39:05.120 something.

00:39:06.080 Was that, was that even a real

00:39:08.160 picture?

00:39:10.200 Can somebody give me a fact check on

00:39:11.840 that?

00:39:12.320 I guess I should have googled it more.

00:39:14.500 Somebody says it's real.

00:39:16.560 Now, remember I told you, let's say

00:39:20.040 it's real, because it's more fun.

00:39:23.900 This is yet another thing where I

00:39:26.620 think you appreciate Trump.

00:39:28.060 Trump, because when Trump literally

00:39:31.940 bullied his way to the front of the

00:39:33.560 line, that did make people mock him.

00:39:36.800 True.

00:39:37.820 It did, you know, make you think of

00:39:40.880 ugly Americans. 0.94

00:39:42.820 True.

00:39:44.280 But, what's the other thing it did?

00:39:48.160 The other thing it did is made

00:39:50.200 everybody think, sheesh, you've got a

00:39:52.260 strong president there.

00:39:53.720 Maybe too strong.

00:39:55.420 And he's bullying himself to the front,

00:39:56.940 and he's putting himself in front of

00:39:58.180 everything.

00:39:58.900 If you don't think that that bullying

00:40:00.500 his way to the front actually gave him

00:40:02.680 more power, you don't understand

00:40:04.660 power.

00:40:06.660 Let me say it again.

00:40:08.160 If you don't understand that literally

00:40:10.860 bullying himself to the center of the

00:40:12.880 picture gave him more power, if you

00:40:16.260 don't understand that, then there's a

00:40:18.180 lie you don't understand.

00:40:19.060 I was going to do maybe a micro lesson on

00:40:22.460 the locals platform.

00:40:24.240 It's a subscription platform where I put

00:40:26.460 my lessons, two to four minute lessons on

00:40:30.120 how to be more effective, basically.

00:40:33.060 I was going to do a lesson on some people

00:40:35.400 understand energy, and some people just

00:40:39.800 look at cause and effect.

00:40:41.040 And that sometimes misses the energy

00:40:44.980 thing.

00:40:45.680 Trump is an energy monster.

00:40:48.500 There are other people who are energy

00:40:49.820 monsters, too.

00:40:51.340 And energy monsters see energy, almost.

00:40:54.960 They almost feel it.

00:40:56.660 And they move toward it, and they control

00:40:58.660 it, and they focus it.

00:41:00.420 But they're energy movers.

00:41:03.280 And then there are other people who are just

00:41:04.520 looking at the surface facts.

00:41:06.000 The people who are looking at the surface

00:41:09.100 facts will never understand the energy

00:41:11.280 movers.

00:41:12.700 The energy monsters are invisible, in terms

00:41:17.000 of their technique, to people who are not

00:41:19.780 tuned into energy as the major way to

00:41:23.660 understand the world.

00:41:25.740 When I said there's something big brewing

00:41:27.700 that's coming in the world, it's an energy

00:41:30.920 observation.

00:41:32.600 That the world has all this pent-up energy,

00:41:34.820 largely from the pandemic.

00:41:36.740 And it needs to go somewhere.

00:41:38.780 The energy just doesn't disappear.

00:41:40.460 It just transforms, it moves, but it

00:41:42.700 doesn't disappear.

00:41:44.040 There's just a ton, a ton, and I think

00:41:47.240 you feel it, too, of pent-up energy.

00:41:50.860 It's going to go somewhere, and I don't

00:41:53.220 know if it'll necessarily go somewhere

00:41:54.840 good.

00:41:55.320 It could.

00:41:56.060 Might be something excellent coming.

00:41:57.960 But there's too much energy.

00:42:01.140 That's my observation.

00:42:02.760 So if you say, what does that exactly

00:42:04.440 mean, I don't know.

00:42:05.620 I just know the energy is going to go

00:42:07.040 somewhere, and that usually means a war or

00:42:09.660 something big.

00:42:11.640 I hope it's not a war.

00:42:13.760 Anyway, there was a, Youngkin had a rally

00:42:17.960 today's election day for the Virginia

00:42:20.480 governor race.

00:42:22.400 And there were at least three different

00:42:24.620 tweets that involved different photos of

00:42:28.720 the same guy who attended it who had a

00:42:32.040 Confederate flag patch on his jacket, like a

00:42:34.960 really big one on the back of his jacket, so

00:42:37.540 that you could take a picture of him standing

00:42:39.200 there.

00:42:39.600 You could get his jacket, but you could also

00:42:41.740 get Youngkin in the background so you could

00:42:43.720 associate him with the Confederate flag.

00:42:45.980 And everybody took the hint, took that picture.

00:42:48.180 Now, that is your media lying to you.

00:42:53.560 Now, I don't know if that gentleman with the

00:42:57.300 Confederate flag patch was a real Youngkin 0.99

00:42:59.840 supporter.

00:43:00.340 But it is the most obvious kind of political

00:43:05.600 hoax.

00:43:07.060 It's the most obvious kind, where the other

00:43:09.800 team sends the wrong person to your rally so

00:43:12.840 that it looks like, you know, the wrong people

00:43:14.680 attend the rally.

00:43:15.660 It's exactly what the Lincoln Project did.

00:43:19.600 They sent actors to look like white supremacists

00:43:22.840 at a Youngkin thing.

00:43:24.080 It's the single most common political trick to

00:43:29.020 send a fake person to a rally.

00:43:32.560 So, it worked.

00:43:34.860 As tricks go, it's a pretty good one, because

00:43:37.620 it works.

00:43:38.500 The photos were there.

00:43:39.840 They got published.

00:43:40.800 Probably makes a difference.

00:43:42.980 So, that was a good trick, I guess.

00:43:47.440 Are you wondering what my opinion is on who

00:43:50.240 should win the governor race?

00:43:54.400 Do you think I have an opinion?

00:43:56.540 What do you think my opinion is?

00:43:59.020 You've seen me talk about it a number of times.

00:44:02.980 Who do you think I want to win the

00:44:04.880 governorship?

00:44:09.160 You probably think I'm going to say McAuliffe,

00:44:11.220 right?

00:44:12.020 Because he's...

00:44:12.860 I'm sorry.

00:44:13.360 You probably think I'm going to say Youngkin, 1.00

00:44:15.360 because he's a Republican, and you imagine

00:44:17.540 that I support him.

00:44:18.620 All right.

00:44:24.580 Here's my answer.

00:44:26.880 I don't have an opinion.

00:44:28.780 Here's why.

00:44:30.260 Now, I would like...

00:44:32.720 I'd love the news to deal with the fact that it looks like

00:44:36.020 some momentum for Trump.

00:44:39.040 To me, that would be sort of an excellent outcome.

00:44:41.700 If the media thought, oh, this is a referendum,

00:44:44.560 and it looks like Republicans are doing better,

00:44:46.960 I would like that to happen.

00:44:48.700 But in terms of which person would be a better governor,

00:44:52.460 here's why I'm not giving you my opinion.

00:44:55.200 Because a huge part of the decision is about abortion.

00:45:00.060 Would you agree?

00:45:00.640 I mean, the school system is maybe the biggest part.

00:45:04.620 But a huge part of it is the abortion question.

00:45:08.480 And no, I'm not a Democrat.

00:45:11.700 I'm neither a Democrat nor a Republican.

00:45:15.620 And yeah, I know.

00:45:17.500 You think that it's weak to not have an opinion on abortion.

00:45:22.380 And I will accept your characterization,

00:45:25.100 because that's subjective, right?

00:45:27.420 Your subjective opinion of me is always valid,

00:45:30.120 because it's subjective.

00:45:31.900 But objectively, you think it's weak

00:45:34.720 to not have an opinion on abortion?

00:45:40.620 Well, first of all, I do have an opinion.

00:45:42.800 I have an opinion that it is an undecidable issue,

00:45:47.540 meaning that the public will never agree.

00:45:50.540 And if the public will never agree,

00:45:52.160 then you default to the system,

00:45:54.440 because that's how everything works.

00:45:56.400 When an opinion in the country is close to 50-50,

00:46:01.000 we let the government take care of it,

00:46:03.280 because we can't decide.

00:46:04.600 And we need the system to give us a decision

00:46:06.660 so that we can live together.

00:46:09.020 Because if we couldn't ever somehow delegate

00:46:11.940 the hard decisions to some entity

00:46:13.800 that we have a little bit of trust in,

00:46:16.500 then we could just never get past anything.

00:46:18.500 We'd just be at war with each other all the time.

00:46:20.260 So it is important that when you have

00:46:23.440 a really big issue, like abortion,

00:46:25.340 and you can't agree and you're not going to agree,

00:46:28.000 it's important that you can offload the decision,

00:46:31.140 offload it onto the government

00:46:32.560 so we can have some credibility

00:46:34.120 and somehow live with each other when we decide.

00:46:37.660 In my opinion, the most credible deciders are women. 1.00

00:46:41.860 They have more skin in the game.

00:46:43.540 Of course, men have skin in the game. 1.00

00:46:45.020 Of course, if it has to do with the money aspect,

00:46:48.460 then men should absolutely be involved.

00:46:51.000 Absolutely.

00:46:52.360 And I have lots of opinions on that,

00:46:54.660 if you want to hear them someday.

00:46:56.440 But on the terms of just whether it should happen,

00:46:58.360 forget about the...

00:46:59.400 forget about the...

00:47:00.700 who has the rights to the kid.

00:47:03.640 Forget about the question of who pays for what.

00:47:06.420 Those are good questions and separate.

00:47:08.820 But just the question of whether it should be legal at all

00:47:11.060 has to be women collectively deciding. 1.00

00:47:16.380 Separate from the decision of getting one or not,

00:47:19.040 but the decision of whether the law should be this way or that way,

00:47:23.080 the most credible situation

00:47:25.560 is that women have most of the influence on that. 1.00

00:47:28.760 And by no means would I want to take the influence away

00:47:31.140 from men who want to participate.

00:47:33.180 If you want to participate and you feel strongly about it,

00:47:36.260 absolutely.

00:47:38.520 Sandra says that's cowardly.

00:47:40.080 Sandra, you fucking cunt. 1.00

00:47:44.420 Let me be as clear as possible.

00:47:46.580 I'm not afraid of you.

00:47:48.180 I'm not afraid of any fucking person on here.

00:47:50.560 I'm not afraid of my reputation.

00:47:52.420 And I'm not afraid of what you think about my fucking opinion about abortion.

00:47:56.100 You're a fucking cunt for calling me a coward.

00:48:00.240 All right?

00:48:00.880 And you should leave my...

00:48:02.140 you should leave my content immediately.

00:48:04.840 I don't want you here.

00:48:06.580 Just fucking leave.

00:48:08.640 All right?

00:48:08.960 Now, am I worried about my income?

00:48:12.740 Well, this just got demonetized.

00:48:15.460 I just guaranteed that I lost...

00:48:19.020 I don't know.

00:48:19.600 I won't give you an estimate.

00:48:21.180 But since the YouTube part is monetized,

00:48:24.340 that was very expensive for me to call you a fucking cunt. 0.99

00:48:28.500 All right?

00:48:29.060 That cost me about 10% of my audience who just said,

00:48:32.240 oh, I can't watch this anymore.

00:48:33.440 Kids were watching.

00:48:34.580 I can't recommend this.

00:48:36.080 Got demonetized instantly.

00:48:39.780 And fuck you. 0.98

00:48:41.800 All right.

00:48:42.440 So, I have very little tolerance for the tiny-minded people

00:48:47.320 who think everybody's making political decisions based on fear.

00:48:50.640 You're all making your fucking decisions on fear.

00:48:56.020 All of you.

00:48:57.080 You just fear different things.

00:48:59.460 Some of you fear big government.

00:49:01.740 Some of you fear the vaccination.

00:49:04.100 You're all afraid.

00:49:06.060 All the time.

00:49:07.200 All of your decisions are based on...

00:49:08.640 You might not call it fear.

00:49:10.460 You might call it risk management.

00:49:11.940 I prefer to call it that.

00:49:13.580 I prefer to call it risk management.

00:49:15.640 But if you act like bravery is a quality...

00:49:19.280 No.

00:49:19.940 You fucking idiot.

00:49:21.500 Bravery is not a quality you want to encourage in me

00:49:24.400 or in anybody else about their fucking opinions. 0.99

00:49:29.640 The lowest level of intellectual quality

00:49:32.860 is to say that the other person is afraid.

00:49:34.680 It's the lowest level of intellectual debate.

00:49:40.220 All right.

00:49:42.280 So, fuck you, and let's move on.

00:49:46.740 The Rasmussen has a poll.

00:49:49.580 It says the race... 0.95

00:49:51.640 They were asked whether the race was a referendum on Biden

00:49:56.200 or more of a local issue.

00:49:57.800 36% said it's a referendum on Biden.

00:50:01.200 You know, that's just an opinion, of course.

00:50:02.680 And then 30% are not sure.

00:50:04.780 But if you add them together,

00:50:05.880 you've got 66% who are at least open to the idea

00:50:10.000 that this means something bigger than Virginia.

00:50:14.180 Okay?

00:50:17.160 And I think that means that the media

00:50:19.200 gets to control the narrative.

00:50:21.220 If 66% are open to the idea,

00:50:25.660 or at least not close to the idea,

00:50:28.180 that the media...

00:50:30.060 or that this is a referendum,

00:50:31.720 then the media will get to tell them it is.

00:50:35.160 And they'll say it was.

00:50:36.900 And that will actually have an influence on the election.

00:50:39.940 Now, I assume that if McAuliffe wins,

00:50:42.900 they'll say, yeah, that's a referendum.

00:50:45.040 The left will say it is.

00:50:46.640 Basically, the media will play with this.

00:50:50.540 Anyway,

00:50:51.600 I don't think there is such a thing as a referendum.

00:50:55.160 I think that we can be led to believe something's a referendum.

00:51:01.240 And then it does have some persuasive effect.

00:51:04.760 So the media will turn this into some kind of a club.

00:51:08.260 The left will be different than the right.

00:51:09.780 There's something happened with the QAnon group

00:51:14.000 that I have a little suspicion about.

00:51:18.160 Oh, more than the normal suspicion about QAnon.

00:51:21.160 And it goes like this.

00:51:24.000 Apparently, QAnon is now promoting the idea

00:51:27.260 that John Kennedy Jr., who we believe died...

00:51:31.780 It was reported in the news

00:51:35.120 that he died in a plane crash years ago

00:51:39.600 because, unlike my wife, he was not a good pilot.

00:51:43.680 By the way, Christina is probably going to get certified 0.98

00:51:47.380 for her IFR.

00:51:50.220 I don't know if you call it license or certification or whatever it is.

00:51:54.140 So she'll actually be able to fly the plane

00:51:56.240 that John Kennedy died in without dying.

00:51:59.160 So it wouldn't matter if the clouds came.

00:52:03.140 If she were flying,

00:52:04.240 because she knows how to fly a plane by instruments alone.

00:52:07.060 That's what that means.

00:52:08.760 Flying by instruments instead of just looking out the window.

00:52:11.880 So if John Kennedy could have done that,

00:52:13.800 he'd be alive today, maybe.

00:52:16.000 Unless it was mechanical failure.

00:52:17.580 Don't know.

00:52:18.560 Anyway, QAnon is pushing the idea

00:52:21.960 that the allegedly dead John Kennedy Jr.

00:52:25.820 is really alive and attending QAnon events

00:52:28.620 and there's somebody who, like,

00:52:31.160 doesn't look at all like him,

00:52:32.940 but people are saying it is him,

00:52:34.680 and that he will be named as Trump's vice president.

00:52:40.740 Now, what does this tell you about QAnon?

00:52:46.000 If the first thing you say to yourself is,

00:52:47.960 oh, it's just more BS from QAnon,

00:52:50.480 it's just like everything else they've said,

00:52:52.840 I'm not so sure.

00:52:55.500 You know what this looks like?

00:52:59.960 It looks like somebody's trying to end Q and QAnon.

00:53:06.040 Because it looks like somebody's taking the prank

00:53:08.540 to its obvious end point.

00:53:12.140 Doesn't it?

00:53:13.640 You know, as crazy as all the Q stuff was up till now, 1.00

00:53:18.220 and, you know, largely debunked, I think,

00:53:20.860 as crazy as it's been,

00:53:22.420 has anything ever been this crazy?

00:53:25.480 Because this one, this one's a little,

00:53:27.480 I don't know,

00:53:29.740 this one's a little,

00:53:31.180 a little like whoever's running Q

00:53:33.260 is trying to see how far they can take it.

00:53:36.240 Maybe to destroy it.

00:53:38.600 In other words,

00:53:40.080 is the person behind Q

00:53:41.580 pro or anti-Trump?

00:53:44.520 What do you think?

00:53:46.080 Is the current person behind Q,

00:53:47.960 because we don't know if it's the same people or person,

00:53:50.080 but is the current person behind Q

00:53:53.340 pro-Trump or anti-Trump?

00:53:56.020 Go.

00:53:58.200 I see anti-Trump.

00:54:01.960 QAnon does not exist.

00:54:04.380 Anti-

00:54:05.080 keeps people interested, yes.

00:54:09.720 Anti-

00:54:10.640 Yeah.

00:54:12.100 But what if they're pro-Trump?

00:54:15.260 What if they're pro-Trump?

00:54:17.100 What would be the most productive thing they could do?

00:54:20.960 If Q was now being run by somebody pro-Trump,

00:54:24.540 what is the most clever, productive thing they could do?

00:54:29.500 Destroy themselves.

00:54:31.600 And out themselves as a prank.

00:54:34.620 If Q is actually pro-Trump,

00:54:37.360 the smartest thing they can do

00:54:38.920 is take their message to such an extreme

00:54:42.540 that even the most ardent supporters say,

00:54:45.600 oh, screw me.

00:54:47.160 I get it now.

00:54:48.700 It was always a joke.

00:54:50.980 You have to take it so far

00:54:52.920 that even the most dedicated believers say,

00:54:57.480 okay, you got me.

00:54:59.960 And maybe that's happening.

00:55:02.800 Now, that falls under the category of too clever,

00:55:05.480 doesn't it?

00:55:06.580 Like, that's assuming people's a little too clever.

00:55:09.460 We don't see that level of cleverness usually.

00:55:12.280 But if there's an intel component,

00:55:17.360 they are that clever, right?

00:55:20.260 So here's what you should look for.

00:55:22.760 It's crazy enough

00:55:23.860 that people have been convinced, actually,

00:55:26.820 that it's true,

00:55:27.580 that the dead John Kennedy is really alive,

00:55:31.440 John Kennedy Jr.,

00:55:32.800 and that he'll be Trump's vice president.

00:55:35.720 Now, if you believe that,

00:55:37.060 what's coming next?

00:55:39.080 So here's how you can test the theory.

00:55:40.980 And I'm not going to say

00:55:41.620 that I believe my own theory yet,

00:55:44.040 but here's what I would look for.

00:55:47.060 What I'd look for

00:55:48.140 is if the one after this

00:55:49.840 is even crazier,

00:55:52.380 like one that you know can't be true, right?

00:55:54.800 One where you could check the DNA or something.

00:55:57.960 So, I don't know.

00:55:59.280 I'll keep an eye on that.

00:56:01.040 There's a fake Trump statement

00:56:03.060 about Alec Baldwin.

00:56:04.140 So Trump did not say this,

00:56:06.380 but it's being reported on social media.

00:56:09.200 So somebody wrote a fake version

00:56:11.140 of a Trump statement about Alec Baldwin.

00:56:14.180 And here's how you know it's fake

00:56:16.220 even before it was debunked.

00:56:18.000 So it's already been debunked.

00:56:19.280 We know it's fake.

00:56:20.840 But here's how you could have told.

00:56:23.420 At the very first part,

00:56:25.340 he referred to himself as, quote,

00:56:27.460 a great president.

00:56:28.420 Would Trump ever write

00:56:31.260 that he himself,

00:56:33.640 in a written statement,

00:56:34.980 not out loud,

00:56:35.680 but would he ever write

00:56:36.640 that he was a great president?

00:56:39.280 Yes or no?

00:56:40.700 So I hear a yes.

00:56:44.080 I see some no's.

00:56:46.440 Okay, I see somebody

00:56:47.380 who's upped their game a little bit

00:56:49.380 and says greatest.

00:56:50.580 Would he ever say he's a great president

00:56:52.480 or would he say he's the greatest president?

00:56:54.140 Well, you're both wrong.

00:56:58.040 Here's what he would say.

00:56:59.900 Your favorite president.

00:57:02.300 Trump would say,

00:57:03.980 your favorite president.

00:57:07.200 That's how you know it's him.

00:57:09.140 He would never say a great president.

00:57:11.160 That's just not his words.

00:57:12.300 Now, why do I say that?

00:57:14.920 Here's the most mind-effing thing

00:57:17.140 you're going to hear in your whole life.

00:57:19.000 You ready?

00:57:21.340 Trump got criticized

00:57:22.400 for not being the actual author

00:57:24.460 of The Art of the Deal.

00:57:26.760 Correct?

00:57:27.720 So he had a ghostwriter,

00:57:28.780 which is common

00:57:29.600 for pretty much everybody at that level.

00:57:32.180 Very uncommon for somebody at that level

00:57:34.180 to write their own book.

00:57:37.220 And wasn't the implied assumption there

00:57:40.400 that he needed a ghostwriter

00:57:42.740 because he wouldn't be able

00:57:44.440 to write it himself?

00:57:46.440 Don't you sort of assume that?

00:57:48.480 That he needed a ghostwriter

00:57:49.980 because he wouldn't have the skill

00:57:52.000 to write it himself.

00:57:54.000 You kind of think that, right?

00:57:56.200 Well, I'm here to tell you

00:57:58.020 that Trump is a better writer

00:58:00.060 than that ghostwriter.

00:58:01.800 By far.

00:58:03.380 Not even close.

00:58:05.620 The ghostwriter, probably very good.

00:58:07.640 I would imagine, you know,

00:58:08.900 I would imagine very good at his game.

00:58:12.540 But he's not this good.

00:58:14.080 Trump's writing ability

00:58:16.780 is crazy good, right?

00:58:20.900 I do this for a living, right?

00:58:22.780 I write for a living.

00:58:24.520 And I would say he's better than me.

00:58:27.280 I hate to say it.

00:58:29.020 He does write better than I do.

00:58:30.720 Because he writes in a way

00:58:32.040 you can't look away.

00:58:34.080 I mean, you're just glued to it.

00:58:36.800 When Trump says,

00:58:37.860 he's your favorite president

00:58:38.820 that is so deliciously,

00:58:41.960 perfectly complex

00:58:44.080 that you can't stop thinking about it.

00:58:47.760 But if he just said,

00:58:48.520 I'm a great president,

00:58:49.500 there's nothing there.

00:58:51.440 Great.

00:58:52.380 Great is just like an empty,

00:58:54.160 common, useful word.

00:58:55.700 But when he says your favorite,

00:58:58.060 your brain just catches on fire.

00:59:00.440 Like, I'm not sure he's my favorite.

00:59:02.440 I've got to think about this.

00:59:03.860 Well, okay, he's in the top ten.

00:59:05.320 You know, so one of them

00:59:07.740 is just engineered perfection.

00:59:11.740 Your favorite president.

00:59:13.420 That's kind of perfect.

00:59:16.420 And this fake writing

00:59:18.760 was obviously not a good writer.

00:59:22.200 I mean, Trump's writing

00:59:23.600 just jumps off the page

00:59:24.740 and slaps you in the face.

00:59:26.800 And so that's my mind F for today.

00:59:29.700 That Trump is,

00:59:31.020 and this is an opinion

00:59:31.860 from a professional humor writer, right?

00:59:34.480 In this one area,

00:59:36.400 I do have some credibility.

00:59:38.320 I can pick out good writing.

00:59:40.700 I mean, that's my field, right?

00:59:43.540 And Trump is great.

00:59:46.280 He is a great writer.

00:59:48.600 He's unconventional,

00:59:50.040 but he is a great, great writer.

00:59:53.220 He'll never get credit for that, by the way.

00:59:56.080 All right.

00:59:56.400 But I guess New York City,

01:00:00.820 there were threats

01:00:02.000 of 10,000 police officers quitting.

01:00:04.440 The real number looks like

01:00:05.760 it's going to be 34.

01:00:07.280 I'm going to end on this

01:00:08.220 because I've got to run,

01:00:09.520 but I will give you

01:00:10.460 this general statement.

01:00:11.980 Whenever people are saying,

01:00:13.660 I'm going to quit,

01:00:14.700 and you think it's going to be a problem,

01:00:16.920 it hardly ever is.

01:00:19.580 Hardly ever.

01:00:20.420 You should usually bet against it.

01:00:22.480 When anybody says,

01:00:23.480 I'm going to quit,

01:00:24.080 and if I do,

01:00:25.040 even if they quit,

01:00:25.860 I'm not saying they won't quit,

01:00:27.580 the quitting part might be real.

01:00:29.460 But the fact where something bad happens,

01:00:32.840 usually not real.

01:00:34.140 If your best employee leaves,

01:00:36.320 what happens?

01:00:37.580 Not much.

01:00:39.440 If the founder leaves,

01:00:40.920 what happens?

01:00:41.880 Often not much.

01:00:42.960 The difference would be a Steve Jobs,

01:00:44.880 a Bill Gates,

01:00:45.980 that sort of thing.

01:00:46.760 That makes a difference.

01:00:48.320 But usually people can threaten to quit and quit,

01:00:51.420 and you're actually going to be fine.

01:00:52.740 Just in general.

01:00:54.740 You should bet against there being a problem.

01:00:56.960 That is all I have to do.

01:00:58.220 Say today,

01:00:58.720 I've got to run,

01:00:59.560 and I will...
