Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1552 Scott Adams： Lots of Bombshells and Amazing Stories Today. Don't Miss it

00:00:00.000 Ba-bum, ba-ba-bum, ba-ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum.

00:00:06.060 Wow, what a day.

00:00:09.200 Incredible day coming up, and it's starting with a simultaneous sip.

00:00:13.760 Yeah, all of you smart and sexy people, the people who watch this livestream, you know who you are.

00:00:20.640 Well, you're sexier and smarter than usual today, and this one's going to be lit,

00:00:27.240 because the news is very generous today.

00:00:30.540 The news has served up some delicious topics, and we're going to dive into them.

00:00:36.020 But first, to make this extra, extra special, turbo special, extreme special,

00:00:43.260 all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a cantine jug or a flask,

00:00:47.680 a vessel of any kind.

00:00:49.540 Fill it with your favorite liquid, I like coffee.

00:00:52.540 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:57.880 the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:01.160 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:01:03.220 Go.

00:01:07.900 Mmm.

00:01:09.560 Is it, did somebody just give me vitamin D and Regeneron monoclonal antibodies?

00:01:16.700 Because I feel like my antibodies are on fire.

00:01:23.960 Well, let's talk about the news.

00:01:26.640 There's a new mayor in New York City, Eric Adams, who is no relation to me.

00:01:33.300 I know that's the first question.

00:01:34.720 You know, he's an Adams, I'm an Adams.

00:01:36.720 He identifies as black, I identify as black, but that's a coincidence.

00:01:41.480 There is no familiar connection that I know of.

00:01:44.580 There are some cousins I've never met, but I don't think he's one of them.

00:01:48.780 Anyway, Eric Adams, new mayor of New York City, just did a really awesome thing.

00:01:55.480 Talk about, you know, being new on the job and starting strong.

00:02:00.940 Here was his tweet.

00:02:03.260 He says he's going to take his first three paychecks in Bitcoin

00:02:07.800 because he wants to turn New York City into the cryptocurrency, you know, center of the world.

00:02:12.940 That's really good.

00:02:15.420 Now, forget about the idea of turning New York City into a cryptocurrency center.

00:02:19.160 I don't know if that's good or not.

00:02:20.800 But the fact that he promoted it this way is a really, really strong game.

00:02:25.840 So I didn't follow him too much.

00:02:27.540 So I suppose there's a reason he won.

00:02:31.460 It looks like he's good at this stuff.

00:02:33.760 So good job, Eric Adams, with your getting attention for your paychecks being in Bitcoin.

00:02:38.980 How many of you have watched Tucker Carlson's special called Patriot Purge?

00:02:45.100 Anybody?

00:02:46.140 Anybody?

00:02:47.260 So I started watching it, and I've watched, I don't know, half of the first third of it.

00:02:52.340 It's in three parts.

00:02:53.720 And I'm already blown away.

00:02:56.360 Because I thought I knew, you know, I've been following the story sort of like everybody else.

00:03:01.460 But it's interesting how things change from the original story, and maybe you don't notice the change.

00:03:08.620 Because it might be part of something changed, and you don't realize how much it altered the original.

00:03:14.700 But I'll tell you, the first third is enough for me to recommend it.

00:03:19.100 No, the first half of the first third is already absolutely I recommend it.

00:03:25.240 For context.

00:03:26.120 You want to see some good context about what the media and everybody else is doing to you?

00:03:31.940 It's really good.

00:03:33.140 Now, I don't know if it gets crazy later.

00:03:34.780 There may be something in it that I don't like at some point.

00:03:37.280 Maybe.

00:03:37.720 I don't know.

00:03:38.780 But at the moment, highly recommend it.

00:03:43.960 Do you remember me telling you that, and I tweeted it often,

00:03:48.060 that the reason that the United States didn't have rapid tests was almost certainly because of corruption.

00:03:56.120 Does anybody remember me saying that?

00:03:58.440 That there had to be corruption because the government was not only not approving rapid tests,

00:04:06.440 and they were certainly available to approve.

00:04:08.580 They were not only not approving them, but they weren't explaining why.

00:04:15.200 Right?

00:04:15.740 They weren't explaining why.

00:04:17.060 And now here's something we learned.

00:04:19.640 Matt Stoller did some reporting.

00:04:21.080 And the summary of it is that the FDA person in charge of recommending which rapid tests are used

00:04:31.040 recommended only Abbott Labs, which is where he used to work.

00:04:39.060 That's right.

00:04:40.080 The person who decides what companies get recommended for approval in the FDA

00:04:46.180 recommended only Abbott Labs at first, initially.

00:04:51.040 And then when other companies came in and said, hey, how about us?

00:04:54.200 There was bureaucratic slowness.

00:04:57.980 A slowness which would be hard to explain during a pandemic.

00:05:03.560 Until you learned that the person who may be central to the story

00:05:08.340 had one stronger connection to one company than to the other companies.

00:05:15.300 The one he had the strongest connection to, reportedly, now this is the story,

00:05:20.500 he approached Abbott Labs and they weren't even in the business of making rapid tests.

00:05:27.120 And it looks like this individual said, hey, why don't you make some rapid tests?

00:05:31.800 And I'm sure he told them that he was central to the approval process.

00:05:38.220 And so Abbott made some tests and they had a monopoly on the market for months and months and months

00:05:43.320 during a time when they could pretty much charge what they wanted

00:05:47.280 because they didn't have competition.

00:05:49.720 Other companies also tried to get approved but got slowed down.

00:05:54.020 Not because their technology was necessarily bad, but they needed to present more data.

00:05:59.120 They needed to fill out the forms better.

00:06:01.800 A little bit of bureaucratic slowness.

00:06:04.840 So, here's my bottom line on this.

00:06:08.040 Have I ever told you that the follow the money is not only predictive,

00:06:14.300 but it will also tell you what happened in the past?

00:06:17.160 Even when it's not the real reason.

00:06:22.600 That's a key point.

00:06:25.380 Follow the money will take you to the truth

00:06:27.720 even when it looks like the money had nothing to do with it.

00:06:33.880 So, I'll bet if you dug into the story and talked to the individual involved,

00:06:37.980 I don't know this, but I'll bet you, he'd have some kind of explanation like this.

00:06:43.180 I was only aware of one company that could ramp up this quickly

00:06:46.300 and the other companies were not as capable and so they didn't get approved as quickly.

00:06:52.040 It could be the whole story.

00:06:54.660 It could be that his strong connection to Abbott Labs

00:06:58.140 caused more of them to be produced than would have otherwise.

00:07:01.900 Totally possible.

00:07:04.360 Totally possible.

00:07:05.840 So, until you hear his side of the story,

00:07:08.180 don't assume that anything unethical or illegal or sketchy happened.

00:07:14.060 But, every other, the other European countries seem to get this done.

00:07:19.420 Do you think that the United States is less capable

00:07:21.540 than our European allies and friends?

00:07:25.580 I don't know.

00:07:28.880 It doesn't seem like it.

00:07:29.960 It seems like on everything else we were comparable or better.

00:07:33.560 A lot of stuff.

00:07:35.440 So, you always have to hear the other side of this,

00:07:38.920 but follow the money took you to exactly what I told you it would take you to.

00:07:43.560 Am I right?

00:07:44.620 I told you it was corruption, which means follow the money.

00:07:48.340 I mean, this is another way to say follow the money, right?

00:07:50.600 Corruption.

00:07:50.960 If you followed the money, you would go directly to the person who approves them,

00:07:56.820 and you would directly find he's connected to the one company that got approved,

00:08:01.040 and because the other ones didn't get approved, we didn't have enough,

00:08:03.820 and there was no competition to lower the price.

00:08:07.720 I predicted it would look exactly the way it looks,

00:08:11.920 which is not to say any crimes were committed or even anything wrong was done.

00:08:16.500 Don't know.

00:08:17.060 You have to wait until the other side of the story.

00:08:18.520 But this was very predictable, even if the money wasn't the reason.

00:08:26.420 Until you see how many times follow the money works,

00:08:29.740 even when the person acting maybe was not influenced by that directly,

00:08:36.060 people still tend to talk themselves into the path where they make money.

00:08:40.880 But it might happen somewhat legitimately in the sense that perhaps he talked himself into it

00:08:51.280 being exactly the right thing to do.

00:08:56.560 So we need to know more about this,

00:08:59.320 but I would rank this as maybe my best prediction.

00:09:03.500 Would anybody disagree?

00:09:05.880 Name anybody else who a year ago was telling you it had to be corruption.

00:09:12.780 Name anybody else who said that in public.

00:09:15.900 You know, somebody who talks about this stuff.

00:09:18.300 I think I'm the only one.

00:09:20.280 I identified this a year in advance,

00:09:22.440 and to me it was obvious from the start.

00:09:24.260 But again, we have to hear the other side before we make any allegations.

00:09:30.420 Here's some interesting news.

00:09:31.960 The University of Washington is working on contact lenses

00:09:34.680 that would allow you to see things projected onto them

00:09:38.880 so you could see directions and things in your contact lens

00:09:42.140 that nobody else could see.

00:09:43.840 Now, it was always going to go that way, wasn't it?

00:09:48.620 Wasn't it?

00:09:49.760 You knew that someday there would be stuff in your contact lens.

00:09:53.120 It feels like that's inevitable.

00:09:55.300 But our march toward full cyborg status is well underway.

00:10:01.000 I would say that's not going to happen anytime soon,

00:10:03.700 but it's going to happen.

00:10:04.800 Contact lenses, they're little computer screens.

00:10:08.080 The U.S. economy added over half a million jobs,

00:10:12.880 and unemployment rate fell to 4.6%.

00:10:15.920 Let me tell you everything you need to know about economics.

00:10:19.600 You ready?

00:10:21.480 Here's everything you need to know about economics.

00:10:25.500 Supply and demand.

00:10:28.320 Number two, if unemployment looks good,

00:10:32.280 everything else is probably pretty good too.

00:10:34.680 Now, there could be exceptions.

00:10:35.540 But generally speaking, if your employment rate

00:10:38.360 is going in the right direction or it's already low,

00:10:41.320 things are going to work out.

00:10:43.420 Now, we have an unusual situation with massive debt

00:10:46.400 and pandemics and stuff,

00:10:48.420 so there could be some black swan situation going on here.

00:10:52.020 But if you see the unemployment rate at 4.6%,

00:10:54.980 when there's inflation,

00:10:57.820 it's still like a little higher than you want it, right?

00:11:00.580 But we also have a little more inflation than we want.

00:11:02.980 So, unemployment works to lower inflation

00:11:06.560 because there'll be more people to offer themselves for the jobs.

00:11:14.580 So, this is a really, really healthy number.

00:11:18.200 Good news.

00:11:19.000 Doesn't mean we're out of the woods,

00:11:20.420 but that's a real good news.

00:11:22.160 Well, in other news, the pandemic is over.

00:11:25.040 Sort of.

00:11:26.220 Almost.

00:11:27.520 Kind of.

00:11:28.240 And it goes like this.

00:11:30.800 The UK is the first country to approve an antiviral pill.

00:11:35.560 So, a pill that you would take

00:11:36.720 once you suspected you had COVID symptoms,

00:11:39.480 and it would directly work against the virus.

00:11:42.740 And the UK says it could be a game-changer.

00:11:46.360 So, they think it's a big, big deal.

00:11:48.680 And this is developed by Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics.

00:11:53.260 Here's why I think this is a bigger deal than you do.

00:11:56.980 And you probably think it's a pretty big deal.

00:11:59.820 You know our big controversy about vaccination or no vaccination.

00:12:04.880 It's like all we want to talk about.

00:12:06.960 And you know that the pharma companies own the news.

00:12:10.220 You knew that, right?

00:12:11.620 Big Pharma is the big advertiser for the news.

00:12:13.900 So, the news is not going to run stories

00:12:16.200 that are directly horrible to their biggest advertisers.

00:12:21.560 You know, human nature, follow the money.

00:12:23.720 It's just not going to happen.

00:12:25.340 You know, they'd have to do it if other people were reporting it.

00:12:28.900 But, you know, you're not going to see

00:12:30.940 one of the major news companies

00:12:32.180 break a story about a pharma company.

00:12:35.300 I don't think that's ever going to happen.

00:12:36.680 Not if they also advertise.

00:12:38.860 So, here's what's important.

00:12:44.160 Until we get these approved,

00:12:47.760 these tablets that you can take,

00:12:50.780 until we get them,

00:12:51.880 what does the pharma industry in this country have to sell?

00:12:56.000 Well, in this country,

00:12:57.100 they can sell you some monoclonal antibodies.

00:12:59.640 And they're making them as fast as we're using them, I think.

00:13:03.600 So, there's that.

00:13:06.000 But also, vaccinations, of course.

00:13:08.400 So, vaccinations are the primary money competitor

00:13:12.580 to therapeutics, right?

00:13:16.000 Vaccines are the competition for therapeutics.

00:13:19.320 They're not the same.

00:13:20.600 And I'm not recommending you do one or the other.

00:13:22.660 There's no recommendation here.

00:13:23.980 I'm just saying they're direct financial competitors,

00:13:28.020 even though they do different things.

00:13:29.660 So, until now, we never had pharma versus pharma.

00:13:35.000 Am I right?

00:13:36.520 We never had pharma versus pharma.

00:13:39.160 So, now we've got big pharma, Merck,

00:13:41.780 that'll have a competition to vaccinations.

00:13:44.280 What do you expect to happen next?

00:13:48.180 Follow the money.

00:13:49.920 You had not much competition for vaccinations,

00:13:52.940 and the news was owned,

00:13:55.120 and the government was owned by the pharma.

00:13:56.760 What messages would you expect to come out of that situation?

00:14:00.920 Vaccines are safe.

00:14:02.560 Everybody should get one.

00:14:04.260 And you better get a booster, too.

00:14:06.580 Now, how predictable would that be

00:14:08.380 if you knew that big pharma had infinite money,

00:14:11.360 they controlled the news,

00:14:13.300 and they controlled the government?

00:14:15.340 What would you expect to come out of that?

00:14:17.360 Exactly that, right?

00:14:19.000 Now, again, remember,

00:14:21.200 the rule is not that if you follow the money,

00:14:23.640 you find a crime.

00:14:25.180 Often that's true.

00:14:25.980 But that's not what I'm saying.

00:14:27.680 I'm saying if you follow the money,

00:14:29.440 even if people say they were ignoring the money,

00:14:32.160 and even if it looks like they were,

00:14:34.740 you still end up in the same place.

00:14:37.220 You end up in the same place.

00:14:39.540 So, how will the message change

00:14:41.860 now that it's pharma versus pharma?

00:14:44.460 Because it used to be pharma versus the government

00:14:46.660 versus the news,

00:14:47.900 and there was no competition.

00:14:49.780 Pharma could put out whatever message it wanted

00:14:51.880 because the news would just parrot it,

00:14:53.400 and the government was owned.

00:14:56.580 Obviously, I'm using hyperbole

00:14:58.840 to make the story here, right?

00:15:01.140 Now, what happens when it becomes pharma versus pharma,

00:15:03.500 therapeutics versus vaccines?

00:15:05.400 Prediction time.

00:15:07.060 Follow the money.

00:15:07.920 What's going to happen?

00:15:09.960 Suddenly, you should expect

00:15:12.420 bad news about vaccines.

00:15:15.280 See what I'm saying?

00:15:19.460 The moment, the moment,

00:15:21.920 probably the same day,

00:15:23.300 that this drug is approved in the United States,

00:15:26.780 the media is going to turn

00:15:28.540 on vaccinations.

00:15:31.420 Not totally.

00:15:32.400 Not totally,

00:15:33.240 because some of them still get their money

00:15:34.900 from that source.

00:15:36.020 But there may be enough entities

00:15:37.780 that get their money from Merck

00:15:39.380 that you're going to start

00:15:41.960 seeing some stories

00:15:43.080 about side effects

00:15:44.900 and long-term risk

00:15:46.620 and all that stuff.

00:15:48.040 So, follow the money predicts

00:15:49.940 that everything you've heard

00:15:51.220 about vaccinations being good

00:15:52.880 will start to morph into,

00:15:55.140 well, maybe there's more risk

00:15:56.480 than we thought here.

00:15:58.360 Watch it.

00:15:59.260 Watch that happen.

00:16:00.580 The shift is coming,

00:16:01.520 and you'll be able to watch it in real time.

00:16:03.080 So, Biden said the reports

00:16:06.980 of giving,

00:16:08.160 maybe settling

00:16:08.860 some legal disputes

00:16:11.260 with immigrants

00:16:12.380 who are separated at the border,

00:16:14.380 he said it's garbage

00:16:15.440 that they're going to get

00:16:16.200 $450,000 per person.

00:16:18.540 I take Biden's description of this

00:16:21.700 as correct,

00:16:23.260 meaning that the part

00:16:24.260 he was saying is garbage

00:16:25.420 is the $450,000 part.

00:16:27.980 He wasn't saying,

00:16:29.540 and he clarified this,

00:16:30.960 he wasn't saying

00:16:31.880 that no settlement will happen.

00:16:35.080 He's just saying

00:16:35.560 that that number is crazy.

00:16:37.640 Who knows what the number will be?

00:16:40.580 And some have said

00:16:41.580 that separations from the family

00:16:43.020 are likened to torture,

00:16:44.900 psychologically,

00:16:45.960 and that people will be damaged.

00:16:48.480 But here's some context

00:16:49.900 I need to ask.

00:16:51.780 Correct me if I'm wrong.

00:16:53.400 Each of these people

00:16:54.400 got separated

00:16:55.200 in the context

00:16:56.160 of a definite crime

00:16:58.400 being committed.

00:17:00.180 It's an immigration crime.

00:17:01.880 Not a violent crime.

00:17:03.800 But am I right

00:17:04.640 that all the separations

00:17:06.380 happened in the context

00:17:07.600 of people who definitely

00:17:09.660 had committed a crime

00:17:10.820 because they were here illegally?

00:17:12.720 Now you could argue

00:17:13.440 it shouldn't be a crime

00:17:14.360 or whatever,

00:17:14.820 but current laws,

00:17:16.760 all of them

00:17:17.600 were in criminal status.

00:17:18.880 Correct?

00:17:19.640 Correct.

00:17:21.000 What do we do

00:17:22.000 with American citizens

00:17:23.240 when they commit crimes?

00:17:24.520 Do we send the whole family

00:17:26.880 to jail

00:17:27.360 to keep them together?

00:17:28.460 Do we absolve

00:17:30.500 the person who's guilty

00:17:31.340 and say,

00:17:31.720 ah,

00:17:32.300 we'd love to send you

00:17:33.720 to jail,

00:17:34.260 but there's no way

00:17:34.840 we could stop

00:17:36.140 separating you

00:17:36.880 from your family?

00:17:39.520 So I guess

00:17:40.380 we won't prosecute you

00:17:41.680 because we don't want

00:17:42.340 to separate you

00:17:42.900 from your family.

00:17:44.640 Has anybody

00:17:45.540 even thought

00:17:46.560 to add the context

00:17:47.620 that we routinely

00:17:48.960 separate children

00:17:49.800 from parents?

00:17:50.600 It's called

00:17:51.080 the legal system.

00:17:53.240 We do it all the time.

00:17:54.500 Do you know

00:17:57.360 who Mr. and Mrs. Rittenhouse

00:18:00.060 don't get to spend

00:18:01.520 much time with?

00:18:02.800 Their son

00:18:03.440 because he's currently

00:18:05.740 incarcerated

00:18:06.800 for what looks like

00:18:08.480 not even a crime.

00:18:10.360 On the surface,

00:18:11.360 it looks like

00:18:11.780 not even a crime.

00:18:13.180 Yes,

00:18:13.600 the most normal thing

00:18:14.680 we do in this country

00:18:15.460 is separate children

00:18:16.740 from their parents.

00:18:18.580 I don't know.

00:18:19.160 Now you could tell me

00:18:19.980 that this is different,

00:18:21.540 but I'm not sure

00:18:22.240 you could convince me

00:18:23.960 it's different enough

00:18:25.100 that we should look

00:18:26.520 at it so differently.

00:18:28.740 By the way,

00:18:29.420 I'm not in favor

00:18:30.080 of separating kids

00:18:30.980 from their parents.

00:18:32.060 I'm just saying

00:18:32.840 we should keep things

00:18:33.800 in context.

00:18:35.920 Here's what I love

00:18:36.840 about this story.

00:18:37.640 It feels like Democrats

00:18:39.460 have stopped

00:18:40.240 trying to win.

00:18:45.420 Scott,

00:18:46.080 you don't follow

00:18:46.720 the Rittenhouse case?

00:18:47.740 Yeah, I do.

00:18:48.880 It's just that

00:18:49.500 there's nothing there.

00:18:51.420 The Rittenhouse case

00:18:52.920 is this.

00:18:53.960 Show us the evidence

00:18:55.120 that it wasn't

00:18:55.880 self-defense.

00:18:57.960 Here's nothing.

00:19:00.040 Okay,

00:19:00.500 well,

00:19:00.780 do you have anything else

00:19:01.620 to make your case

00:19:02.860 that it wasn't

00:19:03.440 just pure self-defense

00:19:04.680 the way it looks

00:19:06.020 exactly like

00:19:06.740 on the video?

00:19:07.660 Well,

00:19:08.100 I got this.

00:19:08.880 Okay,

00:19:09.080 that's nothing.

00:19:10.680 That's pretty much

00:19:11.600 the whole story.

00:19:12.580 If anybody

00:19:12.960 finds anything

00:19:14.940 that would suggest

00:19:16.560 Rittenhouse

00:19:17.000 should be

00:19:17.600 going to jail,

00:19:18.820 let me know.

00:19:19.320 because I don't

00:19:21.400 think they found

00:19:21.920 it yet.

00:19:23.340 We'll see.

00:19:25.320 Anyway,

00:19:25.860 what I love

00:19:26.300 about this story

00:19:26.900 is the Democrats

00:19:28.080 aren't even

00:19:28.480 trying anymore.

00:19:29.600 Imagine any level

00:19:30.900 of settlement.

00:19:32.620 So,

00:19:33.040 let's say

00:19:33.320 it's not

00:19:33.620 $450,000.

00:19:35.280 Let's say

00:19:35.860 they talk it

00:19:36.440 all the way

00:19:36.840 down to

00:19:37.180 $5,000.

00:19:40.180 Possible,

00:19:40.760 right?

00:19:41.460 Let's say

00:19:41.800 they talk it

00:19:42.300 all the way

00:19:42.720 down from

00:19:43.140 $450,000

00:19:44.300 per person

00:19:44.900 to $5,000

00:19:46.620 per person

00:19:47.220 and then

00:19:47.760 they settle

00:19:48.160 for that.

00:19:50.940 Democrats

00:19:51.420 still lose

00:19:52.200 the election,

00:19:53.400 right?

00:19:54.200 They still

00:19:54.580 lose in 2022

00:19:55.400 because there's

00:19:56.340 no way

00:19:56.680 you can sell

00:19:57.180 this at any

00:19:57.900 dollar amount

00:19:58.460 because it's

00:19:59.320 the principle.

00:20:00.460 It's the principle

00:20:01.480 of the thing.

00:20:02.180 It's not the

00:20:02.720 $450,000

00:20:03.780 that got our

00:20:04.500 attention,

00:20:05.240 but it doesn't

00:20:06.140 matter what

00:20:06.440 the dollar amount

00:20:07.200 is.

00:20:08.120 You don't pay

00:20:08.680 your criminals.

00:20:10.040 Stop paying

00:20:10.820 criminals.

00:20:12.160 Do you know

00:20:12.480 what happens

00:20:12.840 when you pay

00:20:13.380 people for

00:20:15.440 being criminals?

00:20:16.160 You get more

00:20:16.580 of it.

00:20:17.440 So once again

00:20:18.080 the Democrats

00:20:19.180 prove that

00:20:19.860 they do not

00:20:20.360 understand human

00:20:21.260 motivation

00:20:21.840 whatsoever.

00:20:24.340 But I love

00:20:25.120 this story

00:20:25.500 because they're

00:20:25.920 just,

00:20:26.800 basically it's

00:20:27.580 like it's

00:20:28.220 Alec Baldwin

00:20:28.860 except government.

00:20:31.720 Basically the

00:20:32.420 Democrats have

00:20:33.020 gone full

00:20:33.600 Alec Baldwin.

00:20:35.100 It's like,

00:20:35.460 I don't need

00:20:36.980 to check this

00:20:37.500 gun.

00:20:37.760 It's already

00:20:38.060 been checked

00:20:38.520 by that woman

00:20:39.380 with blue hair

00:20:40.060 who's never

00:20:40.460 handled the gun

00:20:41.000 before.

00:20:41.720 So I'm

00:20:42.140 fine.

00:20:42.840 All right,

00:20:44.940 here's the

00:20:45.860 strangest thing

00:20:46.640 happened.

00:20:47.380 There is a

00:20:47.980 gigantic

00:20:48.580 blockbuster

00:20:49.820 story,

00:20:50.480 probably one

00:20:50.980 of the biggest

00:20:51.360 stories of the

00:20:52.040 year.

00:20:53.680 And it's not

00:20:54.500 on CNN,

00:20:55.900 at least not

00:20:56.480 on their

00:20:56.740 website.

00:20:58.020 And it's not

00:20:58.780 on Fox

00:20:59.280 News,

00:21:00.660 at least not

00:21:01.280 on their

00:21:01.560 website.

00:21:02.900 Now unless

00:21:03.260 that's changed

00:21:03.740 in the last

00:21:04.140 few minutes,

00:21:05.520 one of the

00:21:06.060 biggest stories

00:21:06.700 by far,

00:21:07.720 by far,

00:21:08.380 one of the

00:21:08.680 biggest stories

00:21:09.240 we've seen

00:21:09.800 all year is

00:21:11.860 not being

00:21:12.280 covered by

00:21:12.800 the two

00:21:13.100 major

00:21:13.520 medias.

00:21:14.480 Yeah,

00:21:14.660 the Durham

00:21:15.140 indictments.

00:21:16.760 But Glenn

00:21:17.560 Greenwald is

00:21:18.240 on it,

00:21:18.980 and Chuck,

00:21:23.100 was it Chuck

00:21:23.620 Ross,

00:21:24.240 and Joel

00:21:26.420 Pollack is

00:21:27.000 on it.

00:21:27.900 So you're

00:21:28.260 seeing a lot

00:21:28.640 of very

00:21:29.540 credible people

00:21:31.180 on it,

00:21:32.360 but not CNN

00:21:33.360 and not Fox

00:21:34.340 News yet.

00:21:34.780 What's going on

00:21:35.300 there?

00:21:36.300 Now remember

00:21:36.780 my fake

00:21:38.240 news filter?

00:21:39.780 If one of

00:21:40.460 the two,

00:21:41.180 either Fox

00:21:41.760 News or CNN,

00:21:42.560 says it

00:21:42.880 didn't happen,

00:21:43.680 it didn't

00:21:43.980 happen.

00:21:45.560 That, you

00:21:45.940 know, of

00:21:46.340 course is not

00:21:46.800 100% accurate,

00:21:48.060 but that's a

00:21:48.760 good rule to

00:21:49.460 follow.

00:21:49.780 If one of

00:21:50.180 them says it

00:21:50.680 didn't happen,

00:21:51.200 it didn't

00:21:51.460 happen.

00:21:52.820 But neither

00:21:54.280 Fox News nor

00:21:55.200 CNN are

00:21:56.060 reporting it

00:21:56.680 didn't happen.

00:21:58.040 They're just

00:21:58.720 not talking

00:21:59.400 about it.

00:22:00.700 What's going

00:22:01.180 on?

00:22:03.400 Joel says

00:22:04.160 Fox covered

00:22:04.840 it, and I

00:22:05.220 assume you

00:22:05.920 mean on

00:22:06.240 the air.

00:22:07.060 But look

00:22:07.380 at the

00:22:07.540 website.

00:22:09.120 Find it

00:22:09.680 on the

00:22:09.920 website.

00:22:10.860 That's all

00:22:11.220 I'm saying.

00:22:12.240 Find it

00:22:12.660 on the

00:22:12.860 website.

00:22:13.800 I'm pretty

00:22:14.240 sure the

00:22:14.620 website gets

00:22:15.140 more traffic

00:22:15.700 than on

00:22:16.960 the air.

00:22:17.560 Am I

00:22:17.820 wrong?

00:22:19.040 And was

00:22:19.420 it the

00:22:19.780 opinion

00:22:20.120 people who

00:22:20.680 covered it

00:22:21.100 or the

00:22:21.860 news people?

00:22:23.580 Can somebody

00:22:24.060 answer me

00:22:24.420 that?

00:22:25.000 Was it

00:22:25.300 only an

00:22:25.720 opinion

00:22:25.980 person who

00:22:26.540 covered it?

00:22:26.980 Because I

00:22:27.240 think I

00:22:27.580 saw Jesse

00:22:28.500 Waters cover

00:22:29.360 it last

00:22:29.720 night.

00:22:30.460 He was

00:22:30.740 filling in

00:22:31.240 for Tucker

00:22:31.820 Carlson.

00:22:33.560 Tucker

00:22:33.880 had it,

00:22:34.460 but really

00:22:34.800 that's an

00:22:35.160 opinion

00:22:35.400 show.

00:22:39.020 Dana

00:22:39.540 Preeniu

00:22:39.960 just had

00:22:40.540 Jonathan

00:22:41.140 Turley.

00:22:41.640 Oh, he

00:22:41.840 would be

00:22:42.100 a great

00:22:42.600 guest.

00:22:43.460 Anyway, so

00:22:44.460 you probably

00:22:45.420 know the

00:22:45.740 story by

00:22:46.160 now, which

00:22:47.000 is if the

00:22:47.600 indictment is

00:22:48.360 telling us

00:22:48.900 what we

00:22:49.320 think it's

00:22:49.700 telling us,

00:22:51.000 there is a

00:22:51.760 well-known,

00:22:54.240 at least within

00:22:55.000 political circles,

00:22:56.360 there's a

00:22:56.980 Democrat who

00:22:59.060 is not only

00:22:59.680 well-placed in

00:23:00.940 the Democratic

00:23:01.500 Party, but

00:23:04.720 also had

00:23:05.220 extreme

00:23:05.680 connections to

00:23:06.500 Putin and

00:23:07.140 Russia.

00:23:08.440 And he's

00:23:08.860 the source

00:23:09.400 of the

00:23:09.760 Steele

00:23:10.000 dossier,

00:23:11.640 at least

00:23:11.920 some important

00:23:13.560 parts of

00:23:13.960 it.

00:23:15.080 So there's

00:23:16.300 an American

00:23:16.760 Democrat who

00:23:18.540 allegedly

00:23:19.060 lied to a

00:23:23.200 Russian-American

00:23:24.020 who was born

00:23:24.620 in Russian,

00:23:25.660 and then the

00:23:26.140 Steele talked

00:23:27.700 to the

00:23:27.980 Russian,

00:23:29.000 and then I

00:23:29.380 think the

00:23:29.680 Russian lied

00:23:30.420 about where

00:23:31.260 he got his

00:23:31.680 information,

00:23:33.160 and then the

00:23:33.940 next thing you

00:23:34.360 know, there's

00:23:34.680 the Steele

00:23:35.020 dossier is the

00:23:38.000 biggest news,

00:23:39.200 and you've got

00:23:39.560 the whole Russia

00:23:40.420 collusion.

00:23:41.340 But here's the

00:23:41.980 punchline.

00:23:43.300 There was

00:23:43.980 Russian collusion

00:23:45.260 apparently, and

00:23:46.940 it was on the

00:23:47.600 Clinton side.

00:23:49.540 It looks like

00:23:50.480 if the Durham

00:23:51.420 report is,

00:23:52.660 you know, if

00:23:53.900 the indictments

00:23:54.620 turn out to be

00:23:55.880 factually grounded,

00:23:57.700 it looks a lot

00:23:59.060 like an actual

00:24:00.540 coup, like an

00:24:02.940 actual literal

00:24:03.640 coup, and it

00:24:05.540 looks like Hillary

00:24:06.200 is behind it.

00:24:07.740 Now, there's no

00:24:08.500 smoking gun in

00:24:09.820 Hillary's hand,

00:24:10.600 but it's hard to

00:24:11.480 imagine she didn't

00:24:12.400 know about it,

00:24:13.380 if you know what

00:24:13.820 I mean.

00:24:14.840 So certainly

00:24:15.680 there are

00:24:16.520 Democrats who

00:24:18.060 tried to overthrow

00:24:18.860 the government

00:24:19.360 with the fake

00:24:20.260 news.

00:24:21.080 That actually

00:24:21.920 happened.

00:24:23.340 In our

00:24:23.980 lifetime, at

00:24:26.600 least one

00:24:27.020 Democrat,

00:24:27.700 probably more,

00:24:28.960 literally tried to

00:24:29.980 overthrow the

00:24:30.680 government with

00:24:31.980 fake news, and

00:24:32.720 it almost

00:24:33.100 worked.

00:24:34.680 They almost

00:24:35.240 got Trump

00:24:36.260 impeached on

00:24:36.980 fake charges in

00:24:38.500 which the

00:24:39.360 Democrats were

00:24:40.080 actually guilty.

00:24:41.380 Now, do you

00:24:41.800 remember what I

00:24:43.060 told you about

00:24:44.460 narcissism and

00:24:47.260 Democrats?

00:24:48.560 And I told you

00:24:49.160 that I'm not

00:24:49.660 sure that Democrats

00:24:50.600 are actually

00:24:51.060 politically oriented.

00:24:53.380 They're just

00:24:53.880 narcissists.

00:24:54.620 And part of

00:24:57.220 the checklist to

00:24:58.380 know whether

00:24:58.780 you're a

00:24:59.220 narcissist is a

00:25:00.080 thing called

00:25:00.480 projection, which

00:25:02.180 is you blame the

00:25:02.900 other side for the

00:25:03.680 exact crime you're

00:25:04.760 doing.

00:25:05.900 Now, some of you

00:25:07.180 have heard me

00:25:07.600 saying, that's not

00:25:08.460 a thing.

00:25:10.260 And I said it a

00:25:11.160 lot.

00:25:12.180 I said, there's no

00:25:12.640 such thing as

00:25:13.140 projection.

00:25:14.740 You know, that's

00:25:15.280 not happened.

00:25:17.240 Boy, is that a

00:25:18.080 thing.

00:25:19.040 Let me tell you, I've

00:25:19.840 never been more

00:25:20.480 wrong about something.

00:25:21.300 Until you see it, you

00:25:23.700 can't believe it.

00:25:25.340 Because it's so, well,

00:25:28.420 it's just hard to

00:25:29.000 believe when you see

00:25:30.160 it, that somebody

00:25:31.060 would actually be

00:25:31.860 murdering somebody and

00:25:32.920 accusing you of

00:25:33.560 murder while they're

00:25:34.400 murdering.

00:25:35.200 You think, well, that

00:25:36.100 can't.

00:25:36.760 That can't actually be

00:25:37.760 happening, can it?

00:25:39.180 Oh, yes, it does.

00:25:40.420 And I can confirm with

00:25:42.240 100% certainty, it's a

00:25:43.860 thing.

00:25:44.720 I don't think it's a

00:25:45.900 thing as often as

00:25:46.880 people use it.

00:25:48.380 So I will, I'll give

00:25:50.620 myself, you know, a

00:25:51.680 little wiggle room.

00:25:53.280 The way it's used on

00:25:54.040 Twitter is just, you

00:25:55.260 know, an insult and

00:25:56.280 it's not a diagnosis.

00:25:58.560 So I'd say, you know,

00:25:59.320 90% of it is probably

00:26:00.560 just people arguing on

00:26:01.820 Twitter, but there's a

00:26:02.920 real thing.

00:26:04.820 And the Democrats

00:26:05.820 consistently seem to

00:26:07.300 be racist and accuse

00:26:09.420 Republicans of being

00:26:10.340 racist.

00:26:11.680 They consistently, you

00:26:15.320 know, they do whatever's

00:26:17.320 the worst thing you can

00:26:18.180 do in this case, trying

00:26:20.320 to overthrow the

00:26:21.040 government by colluding

00:26:22.020 with Russia, literally,

00:26:24.240 allegedly, and then

00:26:27.180 blaming Trump for it.

00:26:29.240 It's really mind

00:26:30.320 boggling, isn't it?

00:26:31.500 It's mind boggling.

00:26:33.160 Exactly what Q said all

00:26:34.660 along, somebody says.

00:26:35.780 Okay.

00:26:38.700 But read Joel Pollack's

00:26:41.580 write-up in Breitbart,

00:26:43.140 because that'll give you

00:26:44.100 some good background.

00:26:44.760 Well, since we're

00:26:50.580 talking about fake

00:26:51.380 news, this is one of

00:26:53.100 the biggest stories for

00:26:54.080 the last several years,

00:26:54.920 you know, the Russia

00:26:55.420 collusion hoax, and now

00:26:57.320 we know it's just

00:26:57.940 complete hoax.

00:26:59.960 So that's what we know

00:27:00.940 about the news.

00:27:02.540 So the major media, we

00:27:05.400 know this for sure, the

00:27:06.320 major media just for years

00:27:08.720 covered a story exactly the

00:27:11.020 opposite of the truth.

00:27:11.940 Exactly the opposite of

00:27:13.620 the truth.

00:27:14.560 Now, that's your context

00:27:15.760 that the news can be

00:27:17.000 complete BS.

00:27:18.960 Here's some more context.

00:27:20.360 I talk about this often.

00:27:21.920 The Gelman amnesia effect,

00:27:24.620 which is that if you're an

00:27:25.780 expert in a specific field

00:27:27.180 and you see a news story

00:27:28.200 about that, you know all

00:27:30.100 the problems with, oh,

00:27:31.020 the journalist got

00:27:31.740 everything wrong.

00:27:32.480 I'm an expert, I know.

00:27:33.780 But everybody else reading

00:27:34.840 it doesn't know.

00:27:35.640 They think, well, I've

00:27:36.220 probably got that right.

00:27:36.940 But as soon as you read

00:27:38.700 something that you're not

00:27:39.620 an expert on, you start

00:27:40.580 believing it.

00:27:41.900 Oh, well, that's probably

00:27:42.860 right.

00:27:44.080 But the experts don't think

00:27:45.400 so.

00:27:46.040 Now, this also works with

00:27:47.240 celebrities.

00:27:48.900 Let me tell you, I know

00:27:50.040 this firsthand.

00:27:53.780 Reporting on celebrities,

00:27:55.440 and how many times have you

00:27:56.360 seen this about me?

00:27:57.500 How many times have you

00:27:58.400 seen a news report, usually

00:28:00.020 I tweet them, in which

00:28:01.600 somebody has described me

00:28:04.320 incorrectly, or my opinion

00:28:06.060 incorrectly?

00:28:06.960 You've all seen it, right?

00:28:08.600 I'm pretty sure every one

00:28:09.660 of you has seen a fake news

00:28:11.040 article about me.

00:28:12.860 And how many times have I

00:28:14.700 been falsely accused, in my

00:28:17.100 personal life, of heinous

00:28:19.160 crimes?

00:28:21.060 Pretty often.

00:28:22.520 Pretty often.

00:28:24.440 It's a celebrity problem.

00:28:26.800 You get accused of usually

00:28:28.960 sex crimes.

00:28:31.160 I've talked about some of

00:28:32.280 them.

00:28:32.360 The worst offender is

00:28:34.720 somebody I never met.

00:28:36.060 Somebody with mental health

00:28:38.120 issues who lives in Canada.

00:28:40.220 And is pretty sure I'm flying

00:28:42.340 up to Canada and ransacking

00:28:44.260 her computer and sexually

00:28:46.980 molesting her on a regular

00:28:48.600 basis.

00:28:49.240 And she calls the people I work

00:28:50.440 with to tell them in great

00:28:52.280 detail about all the crimes I

00:28:54.320 did in Canada while I was not

00:28:57.540 in Canada.

00:28:58.660 Now, if you're a normie and

00:29:01.400 you're not famous, you say to

00:29:03.980 yourself, that sounds like maybe

00:29:06.440 there's something wrong with you,

00:29:08.120 Scott.

00:29:08.860 You seem to get a suspiciously

00:29:10.960 large number of false

00:29:12.940 accusations.

00:29:14.400 With all of that smoke, there's

00:29:17.020 got to be a little fire there.

00:29:19.260 Nope.

00:29:20.440 Nope.

00:29:21.360 If I could teach you one thing,

00:29:23.760 it says celebrity news typically

00:29:26.180 is just wrong and just completely

00:29:27.840 wrong.

00:29:28.140 There's no fire there.

00:29:31.300 There's just smoke.

00:29:32.920 And this brings me to the Dave

00:29:35.600 Portnoy hit piece.

00:29:37.740 Now, if you know Dave Portnoy,

00:29:39.200 he's, I guess he's founder of

00:29:41.480 Barstool, right?

00:29:42.860 And it's a big site.

00:29:44.320 He's made a lot of money.

00:29:45.360 He's rich.

00:29:45.840 He's famous.

00:29:46.480 He appears on Tucker Carlson's

00:29:48.420 show.

00:29:48.920 Does lots of stuff that gets him

00:29:53.360 some attention?

00:29:54.780 But Business Insider spent eight

00:29:58.740 months trying to find some dirt on

00:30:00.700 him, and the only thing they could

00:30:02.200 find was sketchy stuff about his

00:30:05.340 sex life.

00:30:08.060 Now, I don't think, somebody says,

00:30:13.020 Scott, you are not a celebrity.

00:30:15.920 Seriously.

00:30:16.440 Seriously.

00:30:18.640 Okay.

00:30:21.620 So the best they could find is some

00:30:24.020 women who had these vague accusations

00:30:27.040 about, I don't know, rough, consensual

00:30:30.000 sex.

00:30:32.020 What?

00:30:33.260 That's it?

00:30:35.100 They had consensual sex that may have

00:30:37.960 involved some, like, consensual choking

00:30:40.080 or something, which, by the way, if you

00:30:41.980 don't know this, is the number one

00:30:43.440 requested thing by women.

00:30:44.760 You women won't know this is

00:30:48.860 necessarily true, or maybe you do,

00:30:50.840 but in the comments, can the men here

00:30:53.680 confirm, at least the single men,

00:30:55.400 single men who have been single

00:30:58.680 recently, so I don't know what it was

00:31:00.560 like 20 years ago, but if you've been

00:31:02.840 single recently, can you confirm for me

00:31:06.300 that one of the most frequently requested

00:31:09.220 things by women is to be rough with me,

00:31:12.180 including choking specifically, actually?

00:31:17.440 All right.

00:31:18.040 I'm seeing lots of yeses, yeses, confirmed,

00:31:20.220 confirmed.

00:31:20.900 So it doesn't matter how many people say

00:31:22.540 no.

00:31:23.980 It doesn't matter if you've never seen it.

00:31:25.720 Look at all the yeses.

00:31:27.320 All right.

00:31:27.920 So basically, Dave Portnoy is a victim

00:31:30.900 of a hit piece in which the entire point

00:31:33.080 of it is his sex life is a lot like normal.

00:31:36.020 That's it.

00:31:38.800 That was the hit piece.

00:31:40.320 His sex life looks pretty normal.

00:31:42.800 But some women report some bad reactions

00:31:46.420 to it when they were pressed.

00:31:51.580 Here's the thing.

00:31:52.760 Let me give you my life experience percentages.

00:31:56.400 If a person is non-famous,

00:32:00.440 non-famous, this is the key word,

00:32:02.600 non-famous, and you hear a credible person

00:32:05.620 say that they committed, let's say,

00:32:07.180 a sex crime, what do you think are the odds

00:32:09.940 it will be true?

00:32:10.880 Forget about it.

00:32:11.460 You don't know anything about it.

00:32:13.120 You only know it's a non-famous person,

00:32:17.480 and you know that a credible person

00:32:19.360 made an accusation.

00:32:20.440 How often, in your experience,

00:32:23.900 will the credible accusation actually be true?

00:32:28.000 What percentage?

00:32:28.760 Give me a percentage.

00:32:29.960 Zero to 100%.

00:32:31.400 John says 10%.

00:32:33.300 10%.

00:32:34.820 I see more.

00:32:35.660 Give me some more.

00:32:37.240 Remember, I'm talking about non-famous people.

00:32:40.000 60%, 50-50, seeing 20s.

00:32:46.160 I'll give you my personal estimate.

00:32:47.940 More like 50% to 75%.

00:32:52.140 Because it takes a lot to make an accusation like that.

00:32:56.740 The accuser has to take some big risk

00:32:59.140 to make an accusation.

00:33:01.080 So I don't think it's 10%.

00:33:02.320 I think it's probably 50% to 75%.

00:33:05.640 And that still leaves a lot,

00:33:08.180 a lot of false accusations.

00:33:10.860 But I would say, if you were first presented

00:33:14.320 with the accusation, don't assume it's true.

00:33:17.080 But you could put some statistics on it.

00:33:19.780 Say, yeah, this person's taking a pretty big risk

00:33:22.660 for an unknown person.

00:33:24.880 You know, there doesn't seem to be anything in it for him.

00:33:27.980 50% to 75%.

00:33:29.360 All right, now turn it around.

00:33:31.000 There's a sex accusation against a famous person,

00:33:34.600 especially one in politics.

00:33:36.960 And, you know, Dave, arguably,

00:33:39.960 Dave Pornoy is involved in political speech.

00:33:42.720 What are the odds that a famous person's sex accusations

00:33:47.720 turn out to be true?

00:33:49.780 What do you think?

00:33:51.280 Do you think it's still 50%, 50%, 75%?

00:33:56.100 In my experience, it's closer to zero.

00:34:00.360 Yeah, it's closer to zero.

00:34:01.780 Might be 5%, 10%.

00:34:02.940 You could give it that.

00:34:04.160 But if the only thing you knew is what's in the news

00:34:07.280 about Dave Pornoy,

00:34:08.300 you should play the odds.

00:34:10.800 Play the odds.

00:34:12.200 It's closer to a 90% chance

00:34:14.560 that the odds are BS.

00:34:17.500 If you were not famous, I would reverse it.

00:34:20.520 If you were not famous, I would reverse it.

00:34:22.880 Now, again, this is not based on science.

00:34:25.140 This is based on life experience.

00:34:27.500 As someone who gets accused

00:34:29.020 pretty much every year of a horrible crime,

00:34:31.680 I don't think I've gone a full year

00:34:33.760 without being accused of something

00:34:35.580 that would put me in jail for 20 years.

00:34:38.280 I mean, it's just a...

00:34:39.580 And ask other celebrities.

00:34:41.840 Male celebrities.

00:34:43.040 Ask other male celebrities

00:34:44.520 how many times they've been falsely accused

00:34:47.020 of sex crimes.

00:34:49.180 It'd be almost every one, I think.

00:34:51.380 I think it would be almost every one.

00:34:53.480 All right.

00:34:57.340 There's also a Tim Pool story today.

00:35:01.280 Tim Pool.

00:35:02.580 And this is fake news

00:35:04.240 mixed in with the real news.

00:35:05.500 I'll sort it out for you.

00:35:07.340 So Tim Pool, as most of you know,

00:35:09.220 independent journalist.

00:35:10.420 Very successful.

00:35:12.140 Very prominent on the internet, etc.

00:35:16.360 And he has had lots of content in the past

00:35:20.480 about vaccinations, pro and con,

00:35:23.180 and ivermectin, pro and con.

00:35:25.540 And so he gets a really bad case of COVID,

00:35:28.840 and reportedly he's unvaccinated.

00:35:31.700 I don't know if that's confirmed,

00:35:33.120 but that's the story.

00:35:34.720 He's unvaccinated and had a really tough time with it.

00:35:37.580 It was bad.

00:35:39.280 Then he talked to Joe Rogan,

00:35:41.580 and Joe Rogan hooked him up with a doctor,

00:35:44.300 even offered to pay.

00:35:46.740 He hooked him up with a doctor

00:35:48.040 who gave him the full cocktail of therapeutics.

00:35:51.840 So he got monoclonal antibodies.

00:35:55.080 He got ivermectin, just in case.

00:35:58.180 So vitamin D drip and some other stuff.

00:36:01.440 Right?

00:36:02.680 Oh, somebody says he's vaccinated.

00:36:05.400 Oh, so that's the new information.

00:36:07.440 Is that new?

00:36:09.700 Because the initial reporting...

00:36:12.440 Oh, interesting.

00:36:13.900 All right, I just got fact-checked in real time.

00:36:15.720 It was 10 to 12 days with Chesk Gould.

00:36:22.780 Interesting.

00:36:24.960 Tim found the doctor by himself.

00:36:26.720 All right, this is perfect.

00:36:28.400 What was it?

00:36:29.080 What was my last story?

00:36:31.520 My last story is that the news,

00:36:33.500 when it talks about famous people,

00:36:36.180 is usually wrong.

00:36:38.900 Right?

00:36:39.100 It's not just about sex stories,

00:36:41.400 but stories about famous people

00:36:43.060 are usually wrong.

00:36:45.940 And look at this one.

00:36:47.080 I mean, this one was fresh.

00:36:49.120 And you can already see

00:36:50.020 that the vaccination status was wrong.

00:36:52.460 And how he found the doctor was wrong, apparently.

00:36:55.300 Reportedly.

00:36:56.200 I don't know yet.

00:36:58.740 Somebody says he tweeted that he wouldn't take it.

00:37:01.320 Was somebody saying that it's confirmed he took it?

00:37:04.500 I guess we don't know.

00:37:06.120 Either way, whether he took it or not,

00:37:07.940 it doesn't change my take on this.

00:37:09.700 Which was, number one,

00:37:12.400 reportedly,

00:37:14.780 when he first went to urgent care center,

00:37:17.160 they wouldn't give him anything.

00:37:19.900 So apparently,

00:37:20.820 if you just go and say,

00:37:21.680 I've got COVID symptoms,

00:37:23.540 they don't give you shit.

00:37:25.280 Nothing.

00:37:26.600 I don't know how bad it has to be

00:37:28.200 before you can get some therapeutics,

00:37:30.180 but apparently he had to go

00:37:31.380 and, like,

00:37:31.920 hunt it down himself.

00:37:32.800 Is our health care system this bad

00:37:36.160 that we don't give people the full cocktail

00:37:38.660 the minute they say that they have symptoms?

00:37:40.800 Apparently so.

00:37:41.980 Apparently it's that bad.

00:37:43.800 But here's the fake news part of it.

00:37:48.040 Tim Poole was framed as a vaccination denier,

00:37:51.600 which he isn't,

00:37:54.600 my understanding.

00:37:55.620 Can I get a confirmation on that?

00:37:56.980 Give me a fact check.

00:37:59.020 Give me a fact check.

00:37:59.920 That's accurate, right?

00:38:05.500 He's not a vaccination denier.

00:38:07.540 Whether or not he's vaccinated

00:38:08.620 is a separate question,

00:38:09.880 because I believe his take is

00:38:11.280 you should talk to your doctor.

00:38:13.180 And if he talked to his doctor,

00:38:15.300 whichever way he went,

00:38:17.500 then he did exactly what he says you should do.

00:38:19.720 Talk to your doctor.

00:38:21.200 And that's everybody's advice.

00:38:24.660 That's mainstream medical advice.

00:38:26.360 Talk to your doctor.

00:38:27.020 So somehow Tim Poole has been framed

00:38:30.860 because it makes a better narrative.

00:38:32.840 Anti-vaxxer gets a bad case

00:38:35.180 and wishes he was vaccinated.

00:38:36.860 You know, they add that like,

00:38:38.340 as if he's thinking that.

00:38:40.520 So the Tim Poole piece is mostly

00:38:42.480 some combination of bad framing or fake news,

00:38:46.560 depending on your point of view.

00:38:48.180 And of course they're going to go after him

00:38:49.820 for being pro-ivormectin,

00:38:51.260 which also didn't happen.

00:38:53.060 Can you confirm this?

00:38:54.180 Because he's being painted

00:38:55.880 as someone who is pro-ivormectin

00:38:57.960 and in fact took it.

00:39:00.200 But correct me if I'm wrong,

00:39:01.900 he didn't say you should take iverormectin,

00:39:03.920 did he?

00:39:04.860 I think he said,

00:39:06.080 do what your doctor tells you.

00:39:07.780 And apparently his doctor

00:39:08.740 was okay with the iverormectin.

00:39:10.880 So we may hear the story

00:39:13.640 is different by tomorrow.

00:39:14.880 It wouldn't be a surprise.

00:39:16.260 Anyway, my only point about that

00:39:17.540 is that celebrity news

00:39:19.600 is almost always wrong.

00:39:20.580 Yesterday I posted a picture of myself

00:39:23.240 instead of shirtless,

00:39:26.500 which you're used to on the internet,

00:39:28.640 with a really good shirt I was wearing.

00:39:31.200 And I was saying this,

00:39:32.620 why is it that I have this one shirt

00:39:34.480 that is great material,

00:39:37.460 feels good,

00:39:38.320 never wrinkles,

00:39:39.680 looks great,

00:39:40.540 feels great,

00:39:41.920 never wrinkles?

00:39:43.700 So I've got one shirt that's like that.

00:39:45.820 And so I,

00:39:48.180 yes, I know,

00:39:48.980 my footwear game is weak.

00:39:50.580 We'll talk about that.

00:39:51.940 And so I asked the internet,

00:39:53.600 why is it that only 2% of shirts

00:39:55.560 can do what this shirt can do?

00:39:58.100 We've been making shirts

00:39:59.740 in civilization

00:40:01.360 for a long, long time.

00:40:04.500 Are you telling me

00:40:05.260 that this one shirt company,

00:40:07.160 the only one,

00:40:08.280 the only one,

00:40:09.380 figured out how to make a shirt

00:40:10.660 that doesn't wrinkle

00:40:11.440 and feels good and looks good?

00:40:13.360 Only one?

00:40:13.940 Are you freaking kidding?

00:40:15.740 What is going on?

00:40:17.700 So,

00:40:18.520 everybody asks me,

00:40:21.260 who makes that shirt?

00:40:22.500 So I'll tell you.

00:40:23.120 It's a Tasso Elba

00:40:24.840 Supima

00:40:26.660 cotton

00:40:27.480 polyester

00:40:28.740 blend.

00:40:30.080 So it's cotton and polyester,

00:40:31.400 some kind of special cotton

00:40:32.460 called

00:40:32.880 Supima.

00:40:34.660 And the brand is

00:40:36.040 Tasso Elba.

00:40:38.180 T-A-S-S-O

00:40:39.560 E-L-B-A.

00:40:41.580 Now,

00:40:42.100 caution,

00:40:42.640 caution.

00:40:43.940 I don't know

00:40:45.160 that they have

00:40:45.720 any other shirts

00:40:46.620 that are that good.

00:40:48.240 So hear me carefully.

00:40:50.140 The other problem is,

00:40:51.120 even when a company

00:40:51.960 can make a great shirt,

00:40:53.900 they will stop

00:40:54.580 making the great shirt

00:40:55.520 and make bad ones.

00:40:57.740 So,

00:40:58.840 as I was tweeting

00:41:00.120 on this,

00:41:01.340 you might not be surprised

00:41:02.680 that the company

00:41:03.400 Untuck It

00:41:04.120 immediately contacted me.

00:41:07.100 Have you all seen

00:41:07.880 the commercials

00:41:08.380 for Untuck It?

00:41:09.300 They're dress shirts,

00:41:11.020 but they're designed

00:41:12.080 so they don't hang down

00:41:13.540 too long

00:41:14.180 and you can just

00:41:15.320 wear them untucked.

00:41:16.820 Now,

00:41:17.200 I own

00:41:17.620 quite a number

00:41:18.900 of Untuck It products.

00:41:21.500 And the reason

00:41:22.540 I own quite a number

00:41:23.500 of them

00:41:23.800 is that the first

00:41:24.740 Untuck It shirt

00:41:25.460 I bought

00:41:25.900 was awesome.

00:41:27.420 It was awesome.

00:41:28.140 It didn't wrinkle,

00:41:29.200 looked great,

00:41:30.240 felt great.

00:41:31.580 It was great.

00:41:32.380 It wasn't as soft

00:41:33.460 as this Tasso Elba thing

00:41:35.300 is,

00:41:35.600 but it was

00:41:36.080 a solid shirt.

00:41:37.720 And so,

00:41:38.360 I did what anybody

00:41:39.180 would do

00:41:39.500 if they get

00:41:39.900 such a good experience.

00:41:41.120 I bought

00:41:41.420 a bunch more.

00:41:43.780 Here's the thing.

00:41:45.380 The other shirts

00:41:46.380 that I bought

00:41:47.040 were made

00:41:49.340 of different material

00:41:50.260 in a different way.

00:41:52.420 They had this

00:41:53.160 one perfect shirt

00:41:54.300 and I would have

00:41:55.000 bought a hundred

00:41:55.600 of them

00:41:55.960 over my lifetime

00:41:56.880 if they could

00:41:58.160 just make that

00:41:58.840 one shirt,

00:41:59.540 just make it

00:41:59.900 a different color

00:42:00.560 maybe.

00:42:01.820 Add a little,

00:42:03.100 you know,

00:42:03.600 maybe a tweak

00:42:04.300 or a feature,

00:42:04.860 but just keep

00:42:06.500 making that shirt.

00:42:08.420 But the way

00:42:08.980 companies work

00:42:09.820 is they have

00:42:10.640 to have lots

00:42:11.080 of product

00:42:11.600 because it gives

00:42:12.380 them bigger exposure,

00:42:13.500 makes them seem

00:42:14.160 more serious,

00:42:14.960 etc.

00:42:15.400 So you have to

00:42:16.480 add to your

00:42:17.360 shelf space

00:42:17.940 to take away

00:42:18.540 other people's

00:42:19.100 shelf space

00:42:19.640 in part.

00:42:21.180 And I tried

00:42:23.240 all the other shirts

00:42:24.120 and maybe one

00:42:25.580 of them was

00:42:25.960 pretty good

00:42:26.460 and the others

00:42:27.520 were just

00:42:28.020 different material,

00:42:28.900 different shirts.

00:42:29.800 They all have

00:42:30.360 the same fit

00:42:31.140 so that part's good

00:42:32.240 but I don't

00:42:34.360 understand why

00:42:35.040 people can't

00:42:35.500 make a shirt

00:42:35.980 every single

00:42:36.740 time.

00:42:37.500 Do you know

00:42:37.800 how often

00:42:38.320 a shirt-making

00:42:40.180 company should

00:42:41.580 be able to

00:42:42.040 make a great

00:42:42.740 shirt?

00:42:43.840 Every time.

00:42:46.140 Did nobody

00:42:46.920 put that shirt

00:42:47.580 on before they

00:42:48.400 took it to

00:42:48.940 mass production?

00:42:50.420 Just put it

00:42:50.960 on.

00:42:51.820 See how it

00:42:52.360 fits.

00:42:53.060 It can't be

00:42:53.660 that much

00:42:54.060 of a mystery.

00:42:55.400 Likewise,

00:42:56.180 I tried forever

00:42:57.020 to find a

00:42:58.000 good t-shirt

00:42:58.740 and I think

00:42:59.980 this one is

00:43:00.660 clean fresh

00:43:03.340 tees or

00:43:04.040 whatever it

00:43:04.360 is they

00:43:04.640 advertise on

00:43:05.740 the internet.

00:43:06.640 So there was

00:43:07.020 a company that

00:43:07.580 said,

00:43:07.940 hey,

00:43:08.260 every t-shirt

00:43:09.160 in the world

00:43:09.580 is terrible.

00:43:10.660 Why don't

00:43:11.120 we make one

00:43:11.620 that isn't?

00:43:12.440 How hard

00:43:12.860 could it be?

00:43:14.020 It turns out

00:43:14.540 it wasn't

00:43:14.840 hard.

00:43:15.820 It was pretty

00:43:16.420 easy to make

00:43:17.060 a t-shirt

00:43:17.460 that wasn't

00:43:17.940 terrible and

00:43:18.940 so they made

00:43:19.440 them and

00:43:19.820 apparently

00:43:20.560 they're doing

00:43:20.960 well.

00:43:22.140 So Untucket's

00:43:22.700 pretty good

00:43:23.140 but I would

00:43:24.560 say I still

00:43:25.320 don't understand

00:43:25.900 whether they'll

00:43:26.380 just make all

00:43:27.160 their shirts

00:43:27.560 like the best

00:43:28.540 one.

00:43:30.280 All right,

00:43:30.660 that was a

00:43:31.060 detour you

00:43:31.520 didn't care

00:43:31.860 about.

00:43:33.700 I saw a

00:43:34.940 tweet from

00:43:35.560 somebody named

00:43:37.060 Comrade

00:43:37.740 Bridget,

00:43:38.960 a woman,

00:43:40.000 who said

00:43:41.000 more and

00:43:41.760 more left

00:43:42.500 women,

00:43:43.060 so women

00:43:43.540 on the left,

00:43:44.300 are standing

00:43:44.900 up for

00:43:45.220 themselves and

00:43:45.840 refusing to

00:43:46.620 date men

00:43:47.120 who watch

00:43:47.580 porn.

00:43:50.040 So apparently

00:43:50.880 this is sort

00:43:51.380 of a movement.

00:43:52.420 Women on the

00:43:52.960 left are

00:43:53.400 refusing to

00:43:54.680 date men

00:43:55.120 who watch

00:43:55.540 porn.

00:43:57.560 What would

00:43:58.640 be the

00:43:59.540 possible

00:44:00.260 unintended

00:44:01.980 side effects

00:44:03.300 if this

00:44:04.880 became a

00:44:05.480 thing,

00:44:06.160 a bigger

00:44:06.480 thing?

00:44:07.880 Unintended

00:44:08.600 side effects.

00:44:10.940 Well,

00:44:12.000 civilization

00:44:12.640 would be

00:44:13.380 fathered entirely

00:44:14.400 from that

00:44:15.000 point on

00:44:15.580 by men

00:44:16.640 who have

00:44:16.940 low sex

00:44:17.720 drive and

00:44:18.500 or are

00:44:18.980 huge liars.

00:44:20.740 So we

00:44:21.760 would be

00:44:22.120 breeding

00:44:22.460 selectively

00:44:23.240 men with

00:44:24.480 low sex

00:44:25.060 drive,

00:44:25.480 probably

00:44:26.880 low

00:44:27.180 testosterone

00:44:27.700 and or

00:44:30.060 possibly

00:44:31.520 gigantic

00:44:32.300 liars who

00:44:32.980 say that

00:44:33.320 they don't

00:44:33.660 do that.

00:44:34.680 I've told

00:44:35.120 this story

00:44:35.560 before.

00:44:36.280 There was

00:44:36.500 a woman

00:44:37.600 I knew

00:44:37.980 in my

00:44:38.280 20s and

00:44:39.700 she had

00:44:40.040 a technique

00:44:40.580 for filtering

00:44:42.120 new dates

00:44:42.820 to find out

00:44:43.400 if they were

00:44:43.740 good or bad

00:44:44.300 people.

00:44:45.280 On the

00:44:45.660 first date

00:44:46.320 before they

00:44:47.120 even got to

00:44:47.780 know each

00:44:48.100 other,

00:44:48.800 she would

00:44:49.160 just look

00:44:49.500 at them

00:44:49.740 and say,

00:44:50.220 do you

00:44:50.680 masturbate?

00:44:51.180 on the

00:44:53.740 first date?

00:44:54.800 She would

00:44:55.000 just like

00:44:55.320 throw that

00:44:55.760 in the

00:44:56.140 conversation

00:44:56.660 totally

00:44:57.360 out of

00:44:57.680 nowhere.

00:44:58.460 Just throw

00:44:58.920 it in.

00:45:00.600 And what

00:45:02.100 did most

00:45:02.620 men say?

00:45:05.100 Well,

00:45:06.140 to their

00:45:06.580 credit,

00:45:06.980 most men

00:45:07.360 said,

00:45:07.640 well,

00:45:07.900 yeah,

00:45:08.440 yeah,

00:45:08.840 yeah,

00:45:09.240 I do.

00:45:11.120 But she

00:45:11.860 told me

00:45:12.500 there was

00:45:12.760 one guy

00:45:13.200 who said

00:45:14.180 he didn't

00:45:14.580 masturbate

00:45:15.060 because he

00:45:15.460 doesn't need

00:45:15.900 to.

00:45:16.120 he doesn't

00:45:20.000 masturbate

00:45:20.480 because he

00:45:20.740 doesn't

00:45:20.960 need to.

00:45:26.280 What do

00:45:26.800 you think

00:45:27.020 she did

00:45:27.340 with that

00:45:27.640 guy?

00:45:29.320 She said,

00:45:29.980 well,

00:45:30.440 I found

00:45:30.960 my first

00:45:31.360 liar.

00:45:32.660 That was

00:45:33.200 his last

00:45:33.660 date.

00:45:35.480 Such an

00:45:36.100 obvious

00:45:36.380 lie.

00:45:37.640 But the

00:45:39.620 woman who

00:45:40.540 tweeted

00:45:40.780 this,

00:45:42.400 whose name

00:45:43.520 is

00:45:44.040 Bridget,

00:45:46.120 she

00:45:46.980 describes

00:45:47.520 herself as

00:45:48.280 a radical

00:45:49.080 feminist,

00:45:51.060 a Marxist

00:45:51.840 and revolutionary,

00:45:52.800 no,

00:45:53.020 not radical.

00:45:53.960 She describes

00:45:54.640 herself as

00:45:55.180 a Marxist

00:45:55.780 and revolutionary

00:45:56.480 feminist.

00:45:59.620 I've got

00:46:00.420 another

00:46:00.980 possible

00:46:03.180 explanation

00:46:03.900 of what's

00:46:04.240 going on

00:46:04.660 here,

00:46:04.920 big picture

00:46:05.440 sort of

00:46:05.980 thing.

00:46:08.300 Before

00:46:08.860 there was

00:46:09.320 porn,

00:46:10.820 there were

00:46:11.260 men and

00:46:11.640 women of

00:46:12.180 various,

00:46:13.040 let's say,

00:46:14.340 sexable

00:46:15.020 characteristics.

00:46:16.760 Some

00:46:17.100 very sexy

00:46:17.780 and you'd

00:46:18.140 like to

00:46:18.420 get with

00:46:18.700 them.

00:46:19.320 Some

00:46:19.620 very

00:46:19.900 not

00:46:20.160 sexy

00:46:20.500 and you

00:46:21.040 didn't

00:46:21.200 want to

00:46:21.420 get with

00:46:21.700 them

00:46:21.800 very much.

00:46:22.320 But

00:46:22.520 it's all

00:46:23.840 you had.

00:46:24.760 People.

00:46:26.120 Just people

00:46:26.920 or your

00:46:27.340 imagination.

00:46:28.080 And people

00:46:28.380 are better

00:46:28.760 than your

00:46:29.100 imagination.

00:46:29.880 Even if

00:46:30.200 your imagination

00:46:30.680 is pretty

00:46:31.100 good,

00:46:31.900 mine's

00:46:32.240 pretty good,

00:46:32.800 people are

00:46:33.160 still better.

00:46:34.120 So if you

00:46:34.400 had a choice,

00:46:34.940 you'd take

00:46:35.240 a person.

00:46:36.360 Even maybe

00:46:37.020 not somebody

00:46:37.600 who's a

00:46:37.980 perfect sexual

00:46:40.180 monster.

00:46:42.220 Maybe you'd

00:46:43.340 lower your

00:46:43.980 sights a little

00:46:44.520 bit.

00:46:44.720 Then comes

00:46:45.820 porn,

00:46:47.060 which is

00:46:47.920 not only

00:46:48.540 made better

00:46:49.660 every year,

00:46:50.480 but more

00:46:51.200 targeted to

00:46:51.880 your exact,

00:46:53.040 exact kink.

00:46:55.920 And if you

00:46:56.840 can target

00:46:57.300 somebody's

00:46:58.620 exact kink,

00:47:00.720 it's got like

00:47:01.540 a 10x power

00:47:02.740 to it compared

00:47:03.400 to generic

00:47:04.120 stuff that's

00:47:05.200 made for

00:47:05.520 everybody.

00:47:05.840 And once you

00:47:07.380 get to that

00:47:07.860 level of

00:47:08.580 porn power,

00:47:09.740 the women

00:47:11.680 on the

00:47:12.240 one side

00:47:12.920 of the

00:47:13.360 distribution

00:47:14.480 curb,

00:47:15.760 the ones

00:47:16.320 who are

00:47:16.600 let's say

00:47:16.980 not killing

00:47:17.620 it with

00:47:18.040 the looks

00:47:18.700 and the

00:47:19.000 sex appeal,

00:47:20.060 they have

00:47:20.980 gone below

00:47:21.580 the level

00:47:22.180 which makes

00:47:24.080 them worthwhile

00:47:24.780 for dating.

00:47:27.320 Because you

00:47:28.440 might prefer

00:47:29.080 a really hot

00:47:29.880 woman over

00:47:30.480 porn,

00:47:31.180 if you're a

00:47:31.620 man,

00:47:32.320 but you

00:47:33.460 no longer

00:47:34.140 prefer a

00:47:35.520 not hot

00:47:36.040 woman over

00:47:36.580 porn.

00:47:37.000 Men,

00:47:38.760 back me

00:47:39.220 up on

00:47:39.520 this.

00:47:40.600 No matter

00:47:41.200 what you

00:47:41.520 think of

00:47:41.840 porn,

00:47:43.780 it's still

00:47:44.200 better than

00:47:44.720 some people,

00:47:46.520 right?

00:47:46.800 It's not

00:47:47.120 better than

00:47:47.640 somebody you

00:47:48.360 really connect

00:47:50.220 with,

00:47:51.020 but it's

00:47:51.880 better than

00:47:52.280 a lot of

00:47:52.720 people.

00:47:54.020 And porn's

00:47:54.520 getting better

00:47:55.040 while people

00:47:55.560 are getting

00:47:55.920 worse.

00:47:56.740 I would argue

00:47:57.480 that being a

00:47:58.420 Marxist

00:47:58.880 revolutionary

00:47:59.480 feminist

00:48:00.080 is maybe

00:48:04.620 one problem

00:48:05.600 that makes

00:48:06.200 porn look

00:48:06.920 more

00:48:07.380 attractive

00:48:08.100 than that.

00:48:09.800 Just putting

00:48:10.280 that out

00:48:10.600 there.

00:48:12.080 All right,

00:48:13.480 this was

00:48:14.200 actually a

00:48:14.580 Tim Pool

00:48:15.000 tweet I

00:48:15.720 saw,

00:48:16.280 coincidentally.

00:48:17.560 Black Lives

00:48:18.320 Matter is

00:48:18.800 now more

00:48:19.500 unpopular

00:48:20.140 than popular,

00:48:20.960 so it

00:48:21.340 crossed over.

00:48:22.860 So remember

00:48:23.460 way back in

00:48:25.080 the Charlottesville

00:48:25.860 rally,

00:48:26.580 and then Black

00:48:27.000 Lives Matter

00:48:27.940 became a big

00:48:28.620 thing,

00:48:29.080 and then there

00:48:29.380 were a bunch

00:48:29.680 of high-profile

00:48:31.340 police actions

00:48:32.220 in which black

00:48:33.260 people were

00:48:33.740 killed,

00:48:34.880 and then Black

00:48:35.780 Lives Matter

00:48:36.260 was more

00:48:36.760 and more

00:48:36.960 popular.

00:48:38.940 Well,

00:48:39.300 just about

00:48:39.720 the time

00:48:40.080 they didn't

00:48:40.540 need them

00:48:40.940 anymore,

00:48:41.820 whoever they

00:48:43.040 is,

00:48:44.520 their popularity

00:48:45.260 sank,

00:48:46.040 because the

00:48:47.200 media is no

00:48:47.780 longer propping

00:48:48.840 them up.

00:48:50.220 So the media

00:48:50.900 has sort of

00:48:52.760 withdrawn their

00:48:53.460 support, if you

00:48:54.140 will, and

00:48:54.760 then they've

00:48:55.600 been less

00:48:55.940 active.

00:48:56.260 Do you believe

00:48:57.700 that Black

00:48:58.120 Lives Matter

00:48:58.620 was ever a

00:48:59.760 organic movement?

00:49:00.800 was it

00:49:03.580 organic, or

00:49:04.320 was there

00:49:05.120 some force

00:49:06.000 that was

00:49:06.880 funding them

00:49:07.540 and moving

00:49:08.300 them?

00:49:08.880 Because it's

00:49:09.520 kind of weird

00:49:10.000 that the

00:49:10.960 thing they

00:49:11.380 were trying

00:49:12.060 to fix

00:49:12.840 didn't get

00:49:13.980 fixed, and

00:49:14.820 yet their

00:49:15.200 movement went

00:49:15.800 away.

00:49:16.780 Do you

00:49:17.020 remember

00:49:17.300 Occupy Wall

00:49:18.100 Street?

00:49:19.440 Occupy Wall

00:49:20.140 Street, big

00:49:20.620 old thing,

00:49:21.400 you know,

00:49:21.600 big thing,

00:49:22.400 and then it

00:49:23.260 went away.

00:49:23.680 Okay, why

00:49:26.800 did Occupy

00:49:27.480 Wall Street

00:49:27.940 go away?

00:49:29.180 Is it

00:49:29.520 because income

00:49:31.360 inequality got

00:49:32.380 fixed?

00:49:33.040 No, nothing

00:49:33.620 happened.

00:49:35.120 They just

00:49:35.420 went away.

00:49:36.320 Why did

00:49:36.840 Antifa and

00:49:38.220 BML, who

00:49:39.400 were so big

00:49:40.320 under Trump,

00:49:41.520 why did they

00:49:41.920 just sort of

00:49:43.120 fade away a

00:49:44.860 little bit?

00:49:46.640 Well, I think

00:49:47.440 they don't need

00:49:47.940 them anymore.

00:49:48.580 I think that

00:49:49.060 whoever is

00:49:49.780 creating the

00:49:51.460 fake news on

00:49:52.240 the left just

00:49:53.380 doesn't need

00:49:53.840 them anymore.

00:49:55.460 By the way,

00:49:57.060 if you've never

00:49:57.700 met somebody who

00:49:58.600 creates fake news

00:49:59.680 for a living,

00:50:01.060 you really need

00:50:01.720 to, it'll

00:50:03.600 change everything

00:50:04.540 about how you

00:50:05.120 see the world.

00:50:07.220 There's a large

00:50:08.220 volume of the

00:50:09.100 fake news that

00:50:09.860 I think goes

00:50:10.440 through the same

00:50:11.000 people.

00:50:12.360 So I think a

00:50:13.220 lot of what you

00:50:13.760 see on the

00:50:14.460 left and the

00:50:15.000 right probably

00:50:16.100 gets filtered

00:50:16.620 through a

00:50:17.260 fairly small

00:50:17.960 number of

00:50:18.380 people before

00:50:18.960 you see it.

00:50:23.380 The Build

00:50:25.000 Back Better

00:50:25.520 bill is so

00:50:26.940 complicated that

00:50:27.800 apparently somebody

00:50:28.520 only just found

00:50:29.320 out there's tax

00:50:30.200 breaks for the

00:50:31.020 news business in

00:50:31.800 there.

00:50:32.640 No reason.

00:50:34.080 There's just good

00:50:34.840 tax breaks in the

00:50:35.900 proposed bill for

00:50:38.060 the press and

00:50:39.880 media companies.

00:50:41.820 Do you know why

00:50:42.520 they deserve tax

00:50:43.780 breaks?

00:50:45.640 I don't know.

00:50:46.480 No reason given.

00:50:47.180 The obvious

00:50:49.120 reason is that

00:50:49.940 the Democrats

00:50:50.740 work with this

00:50:51.780 industry and

00:50:52.500 they're just

00:50:52.900 scratching each

00:50:53.520 other's backs.

00:50:56.020 All right.

00:50:57.540 Here's my take

00:50:58.680 on that.

00:51:00.160 Wherever things

00:51:00.940 are complicated,

00:51:01.940 that's where

00:51:02.320 fraud is hiding.

00:51:03.940 So anything

00:51:04.500 complicated is

00:51:05.940 riddled with

00:51:06.560 fraud.

00:51:07.440 So the

00:51:07.960 financial advice

00:51:09.200 business is real

00:51:10.440 complicated.

00:51:11.280 Oh, you could

00:51:11.820 get this financial

00:51:12.980 vehicle or this

00:51:13.800 one.

00:51:14.640 Riddled with fraud

00:51:15.740 because it's

00:51:17.240 complicated and

00:51:17.980 people can't

00:51:18.480 understand it on

00:51:19.180 their own.

00:51:20.680 Everything,

00:51:21.480 everything that's

00:51:22.360 complicated is

00:51:24.400 riddled with

00:51:25.040 fraud because

00:51:25.560 that's where it

00:51:26.020 can hide.

00:51:27.280 Fraud can't hide

00:51:28.580 in simple

00:51:29.320 situations because

00:51:30.320 it would just be

00:51:30.740 obvious.

00:51:31.200 Oh, that's

00:51:31.620 obvious fraud.

00:51:32.640 But wherever

00:51:33.200 there's complexity,

00:51:34.760 there's always

00:51:35.740 fraud.

00:51:36.740 It's just

00:51:37.260 guaranteed.

00:51:38.180 So we have

00:51:38.720 Congress writing

00:51:39.460 these hugely

00:51:40.500 complicated bills

00:51:41.660 with all kinds of

00:51:42.540 topics and

00:51:43.180 legalese and

00:51:43.900 everything.

00:51:44.800 And we're

00:51:45.460 expected to

00:51:46.380 support them

00:51:47.160 or not or

00:51:47.880 tell our

00:51:48.680 Congress people

00:51:49.280 to support

00:51:49.800 them or not.

00:51:50.580 And even

00:51:51.040 Congress doesn't

00:51:51.760 read it.

00:51:52.140 It's too

00:51:52.360 complicated.

00:51:53.540 Here's what I

00:51:54.240 would do if I

00:51:54.700 were president.

00:51:56.200 I would reject

00:51:57.820 every bill that

00:51:58.580 wasn't written in

00:51:59.420 a way the public

00:52:00.060 could understand

00:52:00.700 it.

00:52:02.100 Pretty popular,

00:52:03.120 right?

00:52:03.940 Talking about a

00:52:04.680 populist opinion,

00:52:06.020 I will reject

00:52:07.040 every bill,

00:52:08.140 no matter what

00:52:08.600 the topic,

00:52:09.840 if the public

00:52:10.660 can't understand

00:52:11.480 it.

00:52:12.260 Now, the

00:52:12.720 public might not

00:52:13.520 need to know

00:52:14.120 every detail of

00:52:15.060 it, but at

00:52:15.560 least there

00:52:15.920 should be a

00:52:16.380 summary with

00:52:18.460 a little bit

00:52:18.920 of a pro and

00:52:19.520 con.

00:52:20.500 It says, oh,

00:52:21.180 this would do

00:52:21.900 this, and

00:52:22.540 here's why.

00:52:23.420 Let's take the

00:52:24.320 media tax breaks.

00:52:26.100 This would give

00:52:26.900 tax breaks to

00:52:27.680 these certain

00:52:28.200 media companies.

00:52:29.480 Here's the

00:52:29.960 argument for

00:52:30.540 why, and

00:52:31.360 then here's the

00:52:31.860 argument against.

00:52:34.520 Yeah, you'd

00:52:35.160 vote for me.

00:52:36.240 Of course, if I

00:52:37.060 ran for office,

00:52:39.140 I would be

00:52:39.440 destroyed by the

00:52:41.200 media, so it's

00:52:42.340 a bad bet.

00:52:43.720 But, yeah, I'd

00:52:45.040 be an excellent

00:52:45.860 president in some

00:52:47.020 ways, probably

00:52:48.260 bad in a lot of

00:52:48.940 other ways.

00:52:51.460 So, yeah, if

00:52:52.280 you can't

00:52:52.580 understand the

00:52:53.140 bill, you

00:52:55.180 have to oppose

00:52:56.400 it.

00:52:59.260 San Francisco

00:53:00.120 Chronicle had an

00:53:01.820 opinion piece.

00:53:02.840 Now, keep in

00:53:03.320 mind, this is

00:53:03.840 San Francisco,

00:53:05.020 right?

00:53:05.360 So, consider the

00:53:06.680 source.

00:53:07.720 And it's an

00:53:08.460 opinion piece.

00:53:09.020 It says, our

00:53:09.600 current requirements

00:53:10.440 and punitive

00:53:11.180 actions, talking

00:53:12.840 about the

00:53:13.200 pandemic mandates

00:53:14.760 and stuff, suggests

00:53:16.200 that many of

00:53:16.900 California's health

00:53:17.800 officials may be

00:53:18.720 going off gut

00:53:19.760 feel, or worse,

00:53:21.600 ideology, rather

00:53:23.140 than a calculable

00:53:24.380 risk methodology.

00:53:26.520 So, the San

00:53:27.220 Francisco Chronicle,

00:53:28.460 in the heart of

00:53:29.360 San Francisco, is

00:53:30.800 saying, I think

00:53:32.620 maybe our

00:53:33.260 pandemic requirements

00:53:34.820 are not based on

00:53:35.740 science.

00:53:36.160 that's a

00:53:38.640 shift.

00:53:40.020 It's a

00:53:40.560 zeitgeist

00:53:41.100 shift.

00:53:43.520 All right.

00:53:46.300 There's more

00:53:46.920 Fauci versus

00:53:47.740 Rand Paul.

00:53:48.400 I saw a video.

00:53:48.980 That's new,

00:53:49.500 right?

00:53:50.580 Is that video I

00:53:52.360 saw, is Rand Paul

00:53:53.300 grilling Fauci again,

00:53:54.860 or yesterday, or

00:53:55.560 something?

00:54:01.320 I think so,

00:54:02.220 right?

00:54:03.300 It's new?

00:54:03.940 Okay, it's new.

00:54:04.460 And in it, we

00:54:06.760 see exactly what

00:54:07.720 I told you was

00:54:08.480 the case.

00:54:09.940 Who else told

00:54:10.900 you this before

00:54:11.500 I did?

00:54:12.780 Did I tell you

00:54:13.720 that the

00:54:14.000 argument between

00:54:15.120 Fauci and

00:54:16.500 Rand Paul was

00:54:18.100 really a

00:54:18.540 definitional one?

00:54:20.160 Did I not tell

00:54:20.940 you that Fauci was

00:54:22.000 just using a

00:54:22.620 different definition

00:54:23.440 of gain-of-function

00:54:25.200 than Rand Paul

00:54:26.780 was, and that

00:54:27.560 that's what it

00:54:28.500 was?

00:54:29.020 Well, Rand Paul

00:54:29.680 basically just took

00:54:30.620 that approach and

00:54:31.440 just said, it

00:54:32.420 looks like you

00:54:32.920 just changed the

00:54:33.760 definition so

00:54:35.080 that you

00:54:35.360 wouldn't look

00:54:35.820 so bad.

00:54:37.580 And I think

00:54:38.400 that's exactly

00:54:39.080 what happened.

00:54:39.800 I mean, I

00:54:40.180 don't know.

00:54:40.980 But it does

00:54:41.680 look like they

00:54:42.360 changed the

00:54:43.160 definition of

00:54:43.860 gain-of-function

00:54:44.400 on the website

00:54:45.180 to hide the

00:54:46.500 fact that it

00:54:47.060 had been a

00:54:47.520 larger definition

00:54:49.100 and then they

00:54:49.720 narrowed it.

00:54:51.060 Now, I'm not

00:54:52.720 the one who's

00:54:53.320 going to say

00:54:53.700 that Fauci did

00:54:54.920 anything wrong

00:54:56.340 in terms of

00:54:57.560 funding gain-of-function.

00:54:58.540 I don't feel

00:54:59.960 like I could

00:55:00.480 make that

00:55:00.880 call with

00:55:01.860 what I know

00:55:02.420 because it

00:55:03.740 comes down

00:55:04.140 to this.

00:55:05.780 It comes

00:55:06.220 down to

00:55:06.540 this.

00:55:07.540 Was the

00:55:07.940 type of

00:55:08.440 gain-of-function

00:55:09.100 more potential

00:55:11.060 benefit than

00:55:11.760 risk or

00:55:12.900 more risk

00:55:13.520 than benefit?

00:55:14.720 In other

00:55:15.180 words, if

00:55:15.760 trying to

00:55:16.220 defend against

00:55:17.000 a future

00:55:17.500 gain-of-function

00:55:18.200 attack, if

00:55:20.040 you could do

00:55:20.440 a better

00:55:20.720 defense by

00:55:21.720 studying it

00:55:22.300 yourself, how

00:55:23.620 much value

00:55:24.220 would that

00:55:24.580 have?

00:55:25.640 Hard to

00:55:26.140 calculate, right?

00:55:26.860 You couldn't

00:55:27.240 really calculate

00:55:27.820 that.

00:55:28.920 Likewise, what

00:55:30.300 are the risks

00:55:30.960 that in

00:55:31.560 studying it

00:55:32.100 you create

00:55:32.660 the very

00:55:33.020 problem you

00:55:33.580 were trying

00:55:33.980 to avoid?

00:55:35.900 Again, I

00:55:37.500 don't think

00:55:37.880 you could

00:55:38.180 calculate it.

00:55:39.820 Which of

00:55:40.400 those risks

00:55:41.000 is bigger?

00:55:42.860 Do you

00:55:43.240 know?

00:55:44.580 I'll bet

00:55:45.160 you know

00:55:45.440 which one

00:55:45.780 scares you

00:55:46.920 and I'll

00:55:48.220 bet that's

00:55:48.600 what you

00:55:48.920 would make

00:55:49.180 your decision

00:55:49.680 on because

00:55:50.580 we don't

00:55:50.860 have the

00:55:51.280 data so

00:55:52.460 you're going

00:55:52.740 to end up

00:55:53.040 making the

00:55:53.480 decision based

00:55:54.300 on what

00:55:54.600 scares you the

00:55:55.280 most.

00:55:56.300 So what

00:55:56.540 are you most

00:55:56.960 afraid of?

00:55:58.520 An

00:55:58.720 intentional

00:55:59.300 biological

00:55:59.900 attack or

00:56:02.360 accidentally

00:56:03.640 creating a

00:56:04.640 biological

00:56:05.040 attack in

00:56:05.940 trying to

00:56:06.380 defend it?

00:56:06.880 Which one

00:56:07.440 of those

00:56:07.860 scares you

00:56:09.100 the most?

00:56:12.400 I don't

00:56:13.040 know.

00:56:13.320 They both

00:56:13.960 sound pretty

00:56:14.400 bad to

00:56:14.800 me.

00:56:15.760 So if

00:56:16.800 Fauci, with

00:56:17.680 his body

00:56:19.120 of knowledge

00:56:19.620 about this

00:56:20.140 stuff,

00:56:21.500 concluded that

00:56:22.260 the world

00:56:22.660 was safer

00:56:23.380 studying it

00:56:24.880 than not

00:56:25.420 studying it,

00:56:26.520 I'm not

00:56:27.060 going to

00:56:27.280 tell you

00:56:27.560 he was

00:56:27.880 wrong.

00:56:28.840 He might

00:56:29.120 have been.

00:56:30.040 And I'm

00:56:30.500 not going

00:56:30.740 to tell you

00:56:31.060 that Rand

00:56:31.400 Paul is

00:56:31.780 wrong,

00:56:32.220 that under

00:56:32.580 no circumstances

00:56:33.520 should you

00:56:34.020 get near

00:56:34.420 this stuff.

00:56:35.640 I don't

00:56:36.160 know that

00:56:36.580 that's the

00:56:36.960 right decision.

00:56:38.160 I feel

00:56:38.540 like that's

00:56:38.940 a fear

00:56:39.400 opinion.

00:56:41.660 In other

00:56:42.020 words, if

00:56:42.680 you're more

00:56:43.120 afraid of

00:56:43.980 the accidental

00:56:44.820 release than

00:56:46.320 you are of

00:56:47.080 a foe

00:56:49.440 intentionally

00:56:50.200 releasing it,

00:56:51.440 then you

00:56:51.920 would go one

00:56:52.380 way.

00:56:52.580 And if

00:56:52.900 your fear

00:56:53.480 of the

00:56:53.720 other thing

00:56:54.080 was greater,

00:56:54.640 you'd go the

00:56:54.940 other way.

00:56:55.400 But you

00:56:55.700 don't have

00:56:55.940 data.

00:56:57.240 You don't

00:56:57.720 have any

00:56:58.080 way to

00:56:58.380 compare those

00:56:58.900 risks.

00:56:59.500 There's nothing

00:57:00.440 to compare.

00:57:01.400 You'd just

00:57:01.760 be guessing

00:57:02.260 which one

00:57:02.680 is worse.

00:57:04.420 So I'm

00:57:04.960 not going

00:57:05.200 to defend

00:57:05.840 Fauci.

00:57:06.560 I'm just

00:57:06.820 going to

00:57:07.020 say that

00:57:07.580 there's a

00:57:08.700 difference

00:57:08.960 of opinion

00:57:10.120 on the

00:57:12.220 risk.

00:57:13.060 That's all

00:57:13.400 we know.

00:57:14.320 That's all

00:57:14.660 we know,

00:57:15.040 difference

00:57:15.300 of opinion.

00:57:17.140 All right.

00:57:18.080 I'm a big

00:57:18.840 fan of Rand

00:57:20.000 Paul, so I

00:57:20.560 do love that

00:57:21.840 he's pushing

00:57:22.320 this, because

00:57:23.840 no matter

00:57:24.480 what the

00:57:24.860 real answer

00:57:25.340 is, the

00:57:25.800 public needs

00:57:26.340 to know.

00:57:27.660 No matter

00:57:28.260 what the

00:57:28.620 real answer

00:57:29.100 is, the

00:57:29.440 public needs

00:57:29.880 to know.

00:57:30.340 So this

00:57:30.620 is good

00:57:31.120 work by

00:57:31.580 Rand Paul.

00:57:32.420 And again,

00:57:33.060 like I've

00:57:33.620 said a

00:57:33.940 million times,

00:57:35.600 there are

00:57:35.840 only like

00:57:36.300 four productive

00:57:37.240 members of

00:57:39.120 Congress.

00:57:40.540 It's all the

00:57:41.200 same people

00:57:41.720 all the time,

00:57:43.000 and Rand is

00:57:43.720 one of them.

00:57:44.080 all right.

00:57:49.100 Martin

00:57:49.720 Kulldorff

00:57:50.800 did a

00:57:51.320 little analysis

00:57:52.100 comparing the

00:57:53.440 Israeli and

00:57:54.600 versus the

00:57:55.540 CDC studies

00:57:56.520 to see if

00:57:57.680 the normal

00:58:00.180 immunity is

00:58:00.780 better than

00:58:01.200 vaccination.

00:58:02.320 I got to run,

00:58:03.380 but the bottom

00:58:04.100 line is this,

00:58:05.380 that Israel

00:58:06.420 says normal

00:58:07.860 immunity is

00:58:09.700 stronger than

00:58:10.140 vaccination.

00:58:10.980 CDC says

00:58:11.680 vaccination is

00:58:12.360 stronger than

00:58:12.780 immunity, CDC

00:58:13.860 did their

00:58:14.520 math wrong.

00:58:17.680 CDC did

00:58:18.800 the math

00:58:19.200 wrong.

00:58:22.160 That's, I

00:58:23.260 don't even

00:58:23.560 need to add

00:58:24.000 to anything,

00:58:24.520 do I?

00:58:25.180 The CDC

00:58:25.800 did the

00:58:27.320 math wrong.

00:58:27.960 Now, when I

00:58:28.460 say that, I

00:58:28.880 mean the

00:58:29.440 statistical

00:58:29.980 approach they

00:58:30.720 used was

00:58:31.640 apparently

00:58:31.980 suboptimal.

00:58:33.480 But two

00:58:34.320 opposite, opposite

00:58:35.460 opinions using

00:58:36.240 the same data.

00:58:37.480 Boom.

00:58:38.240 That's everything

00:58:39.140 you need to

00:58:39.560 know, and I

00:58:40.780 am done for

00:58:41.240 today.

00:58:41.860 Got to

00:58:42.340 rock you.

00:58:42.780 See you

00:58:43.680 later.

00:58:43.860 See you

00:58:44.860 later.
