Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1554 Scott Adams： How to Save the World and Why Biden Might Not Be Part of it

00:00:00.000 Ah, well, well, well.

00:00:07.620 Good morning, everybody.

00:00:09.760 And you'd be as happy as I am right now

00:00:12.060 if you had just seen a meme of Joe Biden's dog.

00:00:17.240 I'm not even going to describe it.

00:00:20.080 Just suffice to say that if you get a chance to Google a meme

00:00:24.400 that's probably labeled something like Joe Biden's dog,

00:00:28.340 you've got to see it.

00:00:33.920 Oh, my goodness, what a day.

00:00:36.760 So, all right, I'll just show it to you.

00:00:43.000 So over on the locals' platform,

00:00:45.940 the commenters can put in images as well.

00:00:48.800 So you can't see this on YouTube, but here you go.

00:00:54.060 Here's a...

00:00:55.440 Joe Biden's dog.

00:01:04.140 I don't know why that's so funny, but it is.

00:01:10.780 Oh...

00:01:11.380 Yeah, I usually don't like jokes like that.

00:01:17.500 I don't like bathroom humor.

00:01:18.920 But when it's done, but when they're funny, they're funny.

00:01:22.760 All right, how would you like to take it up a notch?

00:01:27.800 And I know you would.

00:01:28.960 And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:01:30.540 a tank or chelser stein, a canteen jug or flask,

00:01:32.940 a vessel of any kind.

00:01:34.500 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:36.540 I like coffee.

00:01:38.300 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:01:40.940 the dopamine of the day.

00:01:43.640 I think it makes everything better.

00:01:45.520 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:01:47.300 It's going to happen now,

00:01:48.400 and watch what it does to your antibodies.

00:01:50.240 Watch this.

00:01:51.160 Go.

00:01:55.280 Yeah?

00:01:56.060 You can feel it, can't you?

00:01:57.420 You're getting healthier right now.

00:01:59.440 Now, I know there's a lot of talk about

00:02:01.720 whether you'll need a booster,

00:02:02.880 because the coffee will protect you for a while.

00:02:07.280 But like most good things, it wears off.

00:02:10.380 Every three months, you need another simultaneous sip.

00:02:13.580 I recommend daily.

00:02:15.660 Yeah, I recommend daily.

00:02:17.020 But the minimum is once every three months,

00:02:19.160 you need a booster.

00:02:21.420 Just like the vaccination.

00:02:23.100 All right.

00:02:24.900 Let's get my comments back here.

00:02:27.240 I lost them.

00:02:27.920 There we go.

00:02:29.600 All right.

00:02:30.460 I don't even know where to start.

00:02:32.880 Are you following the Ashley Biden's diary story?

00:02:38.960 Ashley Biden's diary?

00:02:42.280 Now, we don't know what's true yet, right?

00:02:45.340 We're in the fog of war stage.

00:02:47.180 But the things that we think we know are true

00:02:49.080 is that allegedly there's an Ashley Biden diary

00:02:52.640 that somebody stole,

00:02:54.040 and it ended up allegedly in the possession of Project Veritas.

00:02:58.940 Now, the FBI apparently has raided people associated with Project Veritas

00:03:06.140 to try to get back the Ashley Biden's diary,

00:03:09.400 which we don't know is real or not.

00:03:13.400 That's right.

00:03:14.280 The FBI raided to get back a diary

00:03:17.120 that we, the public, don't know if it's a real diary or not.

00:03:21.060 What do you think?

00:03:24.360 What do you think?

00:03:27.380 Well, I think if the FBI goes to raid to get it back,

00:03:30.980 it's probably a real diary.

00:03:33.140 Probably a real diary.

00:03:35.280 Now, among the things in this alleged diary,

00:03:40.520 and I believe, have you all seen it?

00:03:43.260 Am I just telling you something you've already seen?

00:03:45.180 Or is there somebody here who doesn't know this story yet?

00:03:48.380 All right.

00:03:49.200 Well, I'm going to tell you some tidbits from it

00:03:52.560 that, again, it's allegedly real,

00:03:58.080 and the FBI allegedly raided to allegedly get it.

00:04:01.900 So, you know, it's leaning toward it might be real.

00:04:06.480 Ashley S., can you tell us about the Ashley thing?

00:04:11.500 Yes.

00:04:11.800 Well, here's what it says, among other things.

00:04:14.620 So she's got some, she has some, let's say,

00:04:19.520 suspicions about her own life,

00:04:21.720 that she may have been sexually abused by somebody.

00:04:24.480 She's not saying her father.

00:04:26.560 But that she may have had some sexual abuse

00:04:28.840 that's repressed or something.

00:04:30.960 Now, that part sounds pretty sketchy.

00:04:34.340 But she also alleges that she took showers with her father

00:04:38.120 until she was inappropriately old, she thinks.

00:04:42.160 She's inappropriately old for taking a shower with your father.

00:04:47.480 Now, she doesn't mention what age that is.

00:04:51.280 Well, if I were to ask you,

00:04:55.040 what age is appropriate to stop taking showers with your father?

00:04:59.480 I would like to get your opinion.

00:05:04.800 And I'm seeing, in the comments, from two to six.

00:05:10.880 Six seems a little old, doesn't it?

00:05:13.340 I'm seeing eight, ten.

00:05:15.360 Ten years old.

00:05:17.280 Really?

00:05:18.580 There's somebody here who thinks that a ten-year-old girl

00:05:21.000 can take a shower with her father?

00:05:22.540 You know, I respect that there are different cultural norms,

00:05:28.140 but that one surprises me.

00:05:30.140 I'm seeing four, two to three.

00:05:33.680 I'm seeing some nevers.

00:05:35.620 Yeah, I think I would be maybe a little closer

00:05:38.560 to the never category myself.

00:05:42.820 Yeah.

00:05:44.400 Colin says, never stopped.

00:05:46.360 Never stopped.

00:05:47.860 She's 35.

00:05:48.980 Still going.

00:05:49.500 All right, so we don't know how much of this story is true.

00:05:53.640 And I would especially caution you

00:05:56.020 that things like a reference to how old she was

00:06:00.440 when she was taking showers with her father,

00:06:02.480 remember, these are really sketchy memories.

00:06:05.420 I'll give you the larger context.

00:06:07.780 The larger context is that she has some memory problems.

00:06:12.340 Am I right?

00:06:13.700 So I'm going to do what I think I would do

00:06:16.300 if this kind of allegation were against Trump, okay?

00:06:20.680 I'm going to try to play this fair.

00:06:23.420 And if we're playing it fair,

00:06:25.040 the first thing we have to say is that the diary itself,

00:06:27.400 if it's real,

00:06:28.580 number one, we don't know if it's real.

00:06:30.800 Number two, if it's real,

00:06:32.740 the larger context says she has deep problems

00:06:35.900 with her memory, right?

00:06:38.640 That's the context.

00:06:39.940 She has deep problems, she admits,

00:06:42.280 with her memory of things

00:06:43.820 which seemed a little sketchy in her past.

00:06:46.560 If you say, in the same context as this claim,

00:06:50.320 it's like right on, you know,

00:06:51.440 it's the next page of the diary, allegedly.

00:06:54.320 If you say that you have trouble trusting your memories,

00:06:59.160 and then you say that,

00:07:00.980 you have to put that in the same context

00:07:02.640 of the person who's saying it

00:07:04.000 doesn't know if it really happened.

00:07:05.080 And when I say really happened,

00:07:07.720 I mean at the age she imagines, right?

00:07:11.980 Because it may have stopped actually younger

00:07:14.660 than she remembers, for example.

00:07:17.320 So in other words, let's say,

00:07:19.020 and I'm not alleging this is true,

00:07:21.140 I'm just saying so that you can think

00:07:22.980 of how these stories can be wrong

00:07:26.040 in the fog of war.

00:07:27.720 Imagine if she really stopped at two,

00:07:29.940 but she has a memory of stopping at four,

00:07:32.480 and believes that four was way too old.

00:07:35.340 Just guessing, speculating.

00:07:37.320 But that would explain it.

00:07:38.960 And remember, the whole context is

00:07:40.860 she can't trust her memories from that time.

00:07:43.820 So I would say that we don't have

00:07:46.260 any kind of a smoking gun.

00:07:48.640 It's just an interesting story.

00:07:50.960 Definitely a red flag.

00:07:53.200 Definitely a red flag.

00:07:54.340 When you put it in the context

00:07:56.080 of other Joe Biden strange behaviors

00:07:58.640 around children.

00:08:00.100 But definitely not some kind of a kill shot

00:08:03.900 or anything.

00:08:04.740 Doesn't look like that.

00:08:05.680 All right.

00:08:08.020 But certainly a red flag.

00:08:10.260 All right.

00:08:12.400 Now, what do you think of the,

00:08:13.660 what do you think of the,

00:08:15.180 if it's true,

00:08:16.240 that the FBI was looking for it?

00:08:18.820 What does the FBI have to do with that?

00:08:20.940 Is it just because it's a presidential thing?

00:08:23.400 How does the FBI get authority

00:08:25.300 to even be involved?

00:08:27.060 They probably found it somehow,

00:08:28.500 but it makes you wonder how.

00:08:31.040 All right.

00:08:31.460 As someone pointed out to me on Twitter,

00:08:36.200 Biden got infrastructure deal done

00:08:37.940 and Trump could not.

00:08:39.520 Is that fair?

00:08:40.920 Is it fair to say that Biden got infrastructure done

00:08:44.080 and Trump did not?

00:08:47.540 That's fair.

00:08:49.100 It's literally true.

00:08:50.960 But I would add some context.

00:08:53.940 Well, one of the ways he got it done

00:08:55.600 is by using a Trump technique.

00:08:58.320 I'm pretty sure that the infrastructure bill

00:09:02.520 passed as large as it is,

00:09:05.340 in part because it started down

00:09:07.160 as sounding like 3.5 trillion.

00:09:10.480 It was a gigantic first offer,

00:09:13.220 which allowed him to get probably more

00:09:15.980 for infrastructure than he would have otherwise.

00:09:18.480 And maybe even it made it possible.

00:09:20.120 I don't know.

00:09:20.780 It's hard to know.

00:09:22.000 But if Trump had done this,

00:09:24.220 started with a big number

00:09:25.340 and then negotiated down

00:09:26.440 to still a big number but smaller,

00:09:28.320 I would have said,

00:09:29.700 yeah, that's what he always does.

00:09:31.360 That's good technique.

00:09:32.900 Start huge, negotiate down.

00:09:35.660 Because in truth,

00:09:37.380 Biden made us think a trillion dollars

00:09:39.160 wasn't really that much.

00:09:41.040 Right?

00:09:42.720 In your mind,

00:09:44.480 in the past year,

00:09:46.340 can you confirm this for me?

00:09:48.000 I'll say it's true for me

00:09:49.080 and then you can say it's true for you or not.

00:09:52.300 That in my mind,

00:09:53.480 a trillion dollars

00:09:54.540 went from an ungodly amount of money

00:09:56.940 you can't even imagine to.

00:09:58.240 Well, okay,

00:09:58.860 I guess we're talking trillions now.

00:10:01.160 Right?

00:10:02.020 How many of you normalized trillion?

00:10:06.140 I would say I did.

00:10:08.360 Now, if you didn't,

00:10:09.500 I'm not, you know,

00:10:09.980 it's not a universal.

00:10:11.520 But I'll bet a lot of people did.

00:10:13.640 I'll bet a lot of people did.

00:10:14.720 Now, and even if you swear you didn't,

00:10:17.440 I'll bet you did a little bit.

00:10:19.260 Right?

00:10:19.960 So, I mean,

00:10:20.580 it's up to you to tell me how you feel.

00:10:22.400 I can't tell you how you feel.

00:10:23.960 But if I had to guess

00:10:25.080 a little bit,

00:10:27.360 I'll bet each of you moved a little bit on that,

00:10:29.600 even if it doesn't feel like it.

00:10:32.940 But then I would add

00:10:34.080 yet further context,

00:10:35.760 which is Biden's the one

00:10:37.320 who got us out of Afghanistan,

00:10:39.120 but that had just to do

00:10:40.500 with the timing of it.

00:10:41.740 Right?

00:10:41.980 If Trump had been re-elected,

00:10:43.960 Trump would have gotten us out of Afghanistan,

00:10:45.940 probably in a different way.

00:10:48.300 But some of it's just timing, right?

00:10:50.380 It was just time for infrastructure.

00:10:52.880 You know, we put off infrastructure

00:10:54.560 as long as we could,

00:10:55.600 and then it was just time.

00:10:56.960 So I think whoever was president

00:10:58.360 would have gotten it done.

00:10:59.940 It was just time.

00:11:01.480 But the way we credit

00:11:03.220 or criticize presidents

00:11:06.540 is what happens while they're in office.

00:11:08.760 And if you're going to use the standard

00:11:10.080 that I would have used,

00:11:11.140 I would have used the same standard

00:11:12.760 if it had been Trump,

00:11:14.380 Biden got it done.

00:11:16.900 So you can like it or hate it,

00:11:18.660 and that's fair,

00:11:19.680 but he got it done.

00:11:21.120 And that can't be ignored.

00:11:23.360 All right, here's the scariest story of the day.

00:11:27.500 Turns out we don't have a commander-in-chief.

00:11:30.160 Have you noticed?

00:11:31.860 You think you do,

00:11:33.280 because you got this whole president situation,

00:11:35.800 Biden.

00:11:36.100 But here's why I say

00:11:37.800 we don't have a commander-in-chief.

00:11:39.200 I would say the biggest problem

00:11:41.320 at the moment in the country,

00:11:43.100 it's arguable,

00:11:44.180 but I would say the biggest immediate problem

00:11:46.180 is the supply chain problem.

00:11:48.120 Would you agree?

00:11:49.400 Would you agree that that's the biggest

00:11:50.660 immediate problem?

00:11:51.700 Even if you think

00:11:52.480 inflation and debt

00:11:54.580 and climate change

00:11:55.600 are the bigger problems,

00:11:57.260 nuclear war,

00:11:58.200 but immediately,

00:12:00.020 like right now,

00:12:02.240 the supply chain is the biggest problem.

00:12:03.820 Would you agree?

00:12:04.220 All right, let's just say

00:12:06.020 it's a big problem.

00:12:07.580 So you would expect

00:12:08.860 that the president of the United States

00:12:11.240 would have a good handle on

00:12:13.120 the biggest problem

00:12:14.980 in the United States

00:12:15.980 at the moment.

00:12:18.660 Pretty fundamental assumption, right?

00:12:21.320 If it's the biggest domestic problem,

00:12:23.420 the president should understand it

00:12:25.040 and be all over it.

00:12:27.020 And yet, have we noticed

00:12:27.980 that he doesn't seem to be involved

00:12:29.520 in any way, right?

00:12:31.940 Governors are involved

00:12:32.980 and citizens are involved

00:12:34.180 and even I'm involved.

00:12:36.300 I've been working on it.

00:12:37.840 You know, mostly as boosting message.

00:12:40.140 I mean, that's all I can do.

00:12:41.500 But I've been working on it.

00:12:43.540 What's Biden been doing?

00:12:44.560 Have you heard anything?

00:12:45.440 I haven't heard he's done anything.

00:12:46.940 Now we know why.

00:12:48.700 Now we know why Biden

00:12:49.960 hasn't done anything.

00:12:52.080 He doesn't understand the problem.

00:12:54.200 In his own words,

00:12:55.960 he said the problem was,

00:12:57.340 and by the way,

00:12:58.820 he condescendingly said

00:13:00.220 that the public wouldn't understand

00:13:02.180 the supply chain problem.

00:13:04.160 He goes,

00:13:04.840 are you kidding?

00:13:05.520 The public would never understand

00:13:06.940 the supply chain problem.

00:13:08.160 Too complicated.

00:13:09.540 And then he explained it.

00:13:11.020 He said it's because

00:13:11.800 plants, factories basically,

00:13:15.160 closed because of COVID.

00:13:18.860 Two things that Biden said

00:13:20.340 at the same time.

00:13:21.460 It's too complicated

00:13:22.620 for the public to understand.

00:13:24.180 And here's the reason.

00:13:26.460 Because a lot of plants,

00:13:28.420 when I say plants,

00:13:29.360 that's a misleading word,

00:13:30.940 I mean factories,

00:13:32.260 manufacturing facilities,

00:13:33.820 he said a lot of them

00:13:34.560 closed during the pandemic.

00:13:35.680 That's it.

00:13:36.780 Now, does Biden really believe

00:13:39.260 that the general public

00:13:41.040 can't understand that statement,

00:13:43.840 that factories closed

00:13:45.240 during the pandemic

00:13:46.020 and that's why we're behind?

00:13:49.180 He didn't think people

00:13:50.580 could understand that.

00:13:52.240 He said that out loud.

00:13:54.260 At the same time,

00:13:55.860 I'm not putting

00:13:56.640 two conversations together.

00:13:57.940 This was the same conversation.

00:14:00.360 Too complicated

00:14:01.300 for the public to understand.

00:14:03.460 And it's because factories

00:14:04.440 closed during the pandemic

00:14:05.500 temporarily.

00:14:08.140 He said both of those things

00:14:09.700 at the same time.

00:14:11.380 Here's what else.

00:14:12.760 He's 100% wrong.

00:14:14.180 That's not the problem.

00:14:17.220 That's not the problem.

00:14:18.960 The problem is

00:14:19.600 we don't have enough chassis

00:14:20.640 to move empties

00:14:21.700 because we got to...

00:14:23.620 The problem is actually

00:14:24.540 closer to the opposite.

00:14:25.660 The problem is

00:14:27.220 there are more goods

00:14:28.160 ordered and coming in

00:14:29.460 than we can handle.

00:14:31.640 Biden says the problem is

00:14:32.800 we're not making enough stuff.

00:14:35.320 Exactly the opposite

00:14:36.360 of the problem.

00:14:37.640 Exactly the opposite

00:14:38.680 of the problem.

00:14:40.860 Do you know what this means?

00:14:43.360 Tell me in the comments

00:14:44.520 what this means.

00:14:46.840 Like, you do the implication.

00:14:49.620 He's 100% wrong

00:14:50.900 about the problem

00:14:51.500 and the public

00:14:52.200 even knows it

00:14:53.160 for the most part.

00:14:53.880 Even the public

00:14:55.140 understands it

00:14:55.820 better than he does.

00:14:58.040 We have no leadership.

00:14:59.720 It's worse than that.

00:15:02.160 Let me say a statement

00:15:03.360 that will just chill you.

00:15:06.860 He's never been briefed.

00:15:09.880 He's never been briefed

00:15:11.180 on the problem.

00:15:14.040 Just take a moment.

00:15:15.480 Just take a moment

00:15:16.320 to think about that.

00:15:17.960 No matter how much

00:15:21.060 you say about his

00:15:22.000 mental capability

00:15:23.000 and I say plenty

00:15:23.980 the truth is

00:15:25.540 that when he appears

00:15:26.340 in public

00:15:26.920 he does say

00:15:28.340 coherent things

00:15:29.220 a lot of the time.

00:15:30.760 Most of the time.

00:15:31.900 Right?

00:15:32.220 You know,

00:15:32.600 we make a big deal

00:15:33.400 when he's a little

00:15:34.140 incoherent sometimes

00:15:35.200 but sometimes

00:15:36.100 that's taken out of context

00:15:37.300 etc.

00:15:38.080 He's mostly

00:15:39.020 very coherent

00:15:39.800 in public.

00:15:41.400 We don't know about

00:15:42.060 behind closed doors.

00:15:43.040 He hasn't been briefed.

00:15:47.360 He would totally

00:15:48.600 his capabilities

00:15:50.100 would suggest totally

00:15:51.560 that if he had ever

00:15:53.440 been briefed

00:15:54.120 on this problem

00:15:54.800 he could reproduce it.

00:15:57.180 Does anybody disagree?

00:15:58.680 If he had been briefed

00:16:00.860 because he does it

00:16:01.660 on every other topic

00:16:02.700 on every other topic

00:16:04.460 such as

00:16:05.180 the $450,000

00:16:07.280 alleged payment

00:16:09.220 to the immigrants

00:16:10.880 he explains clearly

00:16:12.900 and succinctly

00:16:13.820 I was talking about

00:16:15.340 the dollar amount

00:16:16.100 being BS

00:16:16.840 not about the fact

00:16:18.580 we're dealing with them

00:16:19.460 and here's why

00:16:20.320 and here's the thinking.

00:16:22.660 Completely cogent.

00:16:24.380 Right?

00:16:25.460 But on this topic

00:16:26.660 he's not just babbling

00:16:28.980 he's never heard

00:16:30.960 about this topic

00:16:31.980 literally.

00:16:34.060 He's never been briefed.

00:16:36.120 I think we can conclude

00:16:37.280 that with some certainty

00:16:38.220 because if he's been briefed

00:16:40.340 and he still doesn't

00:16:42.360 understand it

00:16:43.120 then he has to be

00:16:44.740 removed immediately

00:16:45.580 because it's not that hard.

00:16:49.500 You know

00:16:49.640 we got backed up

00:16:50.700 not enough chassis

00:16:52.620 to move the empties.

00:16:54.140 That's basically the story.

00:16:55.880 Right?

00:16:56.420 You don't think

00:16:57.060 he could remember

00:16:57.720 that for a day?

00:16:59.000 Even in his degraded state

00:17:00.700 he could remember

00:17:01.400 that for a day.

00:17:02.300 Could have put it

00:17:02.700 on a little note card

00:17:03.580 a little bit of note card

00:17:05.240 oh here's the problem

00:17:06.140 not enough chassis

00:17:06.960 here's what we're doing

00:17:08.660 about it.

00:17:10.720 I don't think

00:17:11.540 we have a commander

00:17:12.280 in chief

00:17:12.720 and I don't think

00:17:14.800 we know who's in charge

00:17:16.180 because nobody

00:17:17.540 briefed him.

00:17:20.880 Somebody needs to ask

00:17:22.060 this direct question.

00:17:24.840 Peter Doocy would be

00:17:25.680 a good choice.

00:17:26.840 Here's the question.

00:17:27.540 Mr. President

00:17:29.120 you said the supply chain

00:17:30.680 is a problem

00:17:31.820 caused by

00:17:32.400 pandemic

00:17:33.440 closing factories.

00:17:34.960 There are no experts

00:17:36.200 who believe that

00:17:36.880 to be the case.

00:17:38.840 Have you even been

00:17:39.980 have you been

00:17:41.900 briefed

00:17:43.080 on the problem?

00:17:45.240 And who briefed you?

00:17:47.700 Ask that question

00:17:48.740 Peter Doocy

00:17:49.340 and it's the end

00:17:50.780 of the Biden administration.

00:17:53.580 If that question

00:17:54.680 is asked in public

00:17:55.700 Mr. Biden

00:17:57.520 it's clear that

00:17:58.540 you don't understand

00:17:59.160 anything about

00:17:59.780 the supply chain

00:18:00.700 because you think

00:18:01.320 it has to do with

00:18:01.860 factories

00:18:02.280 and it doesn't.

00:18:04.760 Who briefed you

00:18:05.560 on this?

00:18:06.920 Who briefed you

00:18:07.720 on it?

00:18:09.240 Ask that question

00:18:10.080 and it's the end

00:18:10.740 of the Biden administration.

00:18:12.840 And I don't think

00:18:13.380 it'll get asked.

00:18:14.500 But that would end it

00:18:15.340 wouldn't it?

00:18:16.140 Because that's the one

00:18:17.040 that shows you

00:18:17.660 he doesn't have a grasp

00:18:19.060 or he's not even

00:18:20.400 being filled in

00:18:21.440 on stuff.

00:18:25.700 There is more than

00:18:26.580 one supply chain problem.

00:18:27.780 That's true.

00:18:28.900 That's true.

00:18:29.820 But the emergency one

00:18:31.840 is the one

00:18:32.320 we're worried about now.

00:18:33.380 There is a larger

00:18:34.120 we need to train

00:18:35.080 more truckers

00:18:35.840 and stuff like that.

00:18:37.460 But that's not

00:18:38.000 the immediate problem.

00:18:39.520 All right.

00:18:41.620 That's pretty scary.

00:18:42.720 No commander in chief.

00:18:45.180 Or if we have one

00:18:46.380 we don't know who it is.

00:18:47.260 Now as Adam Dopamine

00:18:49.800 pointed out

00:18:50.600 on Twitter today

00:18:52.840 there is another

00:18:54.880 announcement

00:18:55.380 referring to

00:18:56.320 the Biden administration

00:18:57.440 as the Biden

00:18:58.260 Harris administration.

00:18:59.440 and Adam Dopamine

00:19:01.900 on Twitter

00:19:02.680 not his real name

00:19:04.060 asked this question.

00:19:06.780 When before

00:19:07.900 have we talked

00:19:09.720 routinely about

00:19:10.940 the administration

00:19:11.680 with the vice president's

00:19:13.000 name on it?

00:19:14.060 Is that common?

00:19:15.000 Now when you're

00:19:17.200 running for office

00:19:17.820 you're talking about

00:19:18.680 Trump-Pence.

00:19:19.820 But did anybody

00:19:20.620 talk about the

00:19:21.320 Trump-Pence administration

00:19:23.000 when they're just

00:19:25.020 routinely talking

00:19:25.940 about them?

00:19:26.360 I think you only

00:19:27.620 talked about them

00:19:28.300 in the context

00:19:28.880 of running for election

00:19:29.780 right?

00:19:31.060 So is this

00:19:31.980 the cat is on the roof?

00:19:33.700 Is this them

00:19:34.220 getting us used

00:19:34.960 to the fact

00:19:35.540 that it's really

00:19:37.760 a team

00:19:38.260 and if Kamala

00:19:39.380 makes the decisions

00:19:40.260 tomorrow

00:19:40.820 but Biden did today

00:19:42.860 that's fine

00:19:43.600 because it's all

00:19:44.100 the same team.

00:19:45.360 It feels like

00:19:45.900 they're softening you up

00:19:46.900 right?

00:19:47.980 It does.

00:19:48.500 Now here's some

00:19:53.700 good news.

00:19:54.520 Remember when

00:19:55.000 Trump was president

00:19:55.840 and it felt

00:19:56.900 embarrassing

00:19:57.360 because other

00:19:58.000 leaders of other

00:19:58.840 countries were

00:19:59.460 mocking our

00:20:00.100 president even

00:20:01.140 somewhat openly?

00:20:02.240 And it felt bad

00:20:04.480 and we're like

00:20:05.100 ah I hate it

00:20:05.980 because other

00:20:07.180 leaders are

00:20:07.720 mocking our

00:20:08.340 president.

00:20:09.740 Well here's the

00:20:10.540 good news.

00:20:10.920 We fixed that.

00:20:12.620 We fixed that

00:20:13.540 because you don't

00:20:13.980 see Biden get

00:20:15.080 openly mocked by

00:20:16.120 other leaders.

00:20:17.280 Now of course

00:20:17.720 the reason for

00:20:18.240 that is that

00:20:18.760 he's mentally

00:20:19.240 disabled

00:20:19.760 and the other

00:20:20.980 leaders are

00:20:21.520 being polite

00:20:22.180 but on the

00:20:23.560 other hand

00:20:23.980 you have to

00:20:24.920 admit it worked.

00:20:26.580 It's not the

00:20:27.040 way I would

00:20:27.460 have played it

00:20:28.040 but it worked.

00:20:29.900 They don't

00:20:30.260 mock him anymore

00:20:30.940 so we've got

00:20:32.360 that.

00:20:34.300 Always look

00:20:34.920 for the good

00:20:35.300 news.

00:20:36.540 My favorite

00:20:37.160 story which is

00:20:37.880 probably fake

00:20:38.440 news but I'm

00:20:39.120 going to treat

00:20:39.460 it like it's

00:20:39.940 real because

00:20:41.280 here's how you

00:20:42.240 treat news that

00:20:42.900 you think might

00:20:43.380 be fake news.

00:20:45.040 Does it agree

00:20:45.640 with you?

00:20:46.000 If it agrees

00:20:48.240 with you go

00:20:49.180 ahead and use

00:20:49.620 it.

00:20:50.340 Standard

00:20:50.740 procedure.

00:20:52.520 If it's

00:20:53.000 funny go

00:20:54.760 ahead and

00:20:55.140 imagine it's

00:20:55.720 true.

00:20:57.120 And by the

00:20:57.880 way I would

00:20:59.660 like to give

00:21:00.060 this advice to

00:21:00.820 you should I

00:21:01.660 ever be the

00:21:02.180 subject of

00:21:03.620 another hit

00:21:04.320 piece you

00:21:04.780 know sort

00:21:05.060 of the

00:21:06.060 barstool

00:21:08.460 approach.

00:21:08.940 so I'm

00:21:09.840 assuming that

00:21:10.380 somebody's

00:21:10.720 going to

00:21:10.940 come after

00:21:11.340 me hard

00:21:11.880 again when

00:21:13.260 elections crank

00:21:14.160 up just as

00:21:15.400 they did in

00:21:15.960 the I don't

00:21:16.860 know if you

00:21:17.160 remember this

00:21:17.760 but Bloomberg

00:21:18.320 did a pretty

00:21:19.940 brutal hit

00:21:20.520 piece on me

00:21:21.180 when I was

00:21:23.140 talking saying

00:21:24.120 good things

00:21:24.500 about Trump

00:21:24.940 when he was

00:21:25.260 running the

00:21:25.620 first time.

00:21:26.780 And I would

00:21:27.300 expect somebody

00:21:28.200 to take another

00:21:28.960 run at me just

00:21:29.960 to quiet my

00:21:31.400 voice.

00:21:32.760 But it hasn't

00:21:33.400 happened yet.

00:21:34.260 But here's my

00:21:34.740 advice to you.

00:21:35.700 Can I give you

00:21:36.200 some advice?

00:21:37.420 Should you hear

00:21:38.180 horrible things

00:21:38.980 about me in

00:21:39.520 the future?

00:21:40.820 You won't

00:21:41.360 know if

00:21:41.680 they're true

00:21:42.020 or false.

00:21:43.660 I mean you

00:21:44.360 might have a

00:21:44.780 suspicion one

00:21:45.600 way or the

00:21:45.940 other but you

00:21:46.380 won't know.

00:21:47.060 I mean basically

00:21:47.780 I'll be the

00:21:48.280 only one who

00:21:48.720 knows if it's

00:21:49.220 true or false.

00:21:50.600 So here's my

00:21:51.320 advice.

00:21:52.920 If it's funny

00:21:53.760 just believe it.

00:21:57.240 Or if it

00:21:57.920 agrees with

00:21:58.500 whatever opinion

00:22:00.000 you already had

00:22:00.840 then go ahead

00:22:01.740 and believe it.

00:22:02.880 Chances are

00:22:03.600 60% chance

00:22:04.800 or higher.

00:22:05.380 It's not true.

00:22:07.120 But if it

00:22:07.600 makes you feel

00:22:08.160 good I

00:22:08.960 give you

00:22:09.440 my blessing.

00:22:11.900 If it's

00:22:12.580 funny go

00:22:13.760 ahead and

00:22:14.060 believe it.

00:22:15.140 So if you

00:22:15.520 hear something

00:22:15.840 like the

00:22:16.440 Richard Gere

00:22:17.180 stuff you

00:22:18.420 know that

00:22:19.680 Richard Gere

00:22:20.420 famously an

00:22:22.360 actor.

00:22:23.220 Many of you

00:22:24.040 if you're too

00:22:24.620 young you don't

00:22:25.100 know.

00:22:25.960 But famous

00:22:26.420 actor and the

00:22:27.200 rumor was that

00:22:27.920 he once and

00:22:28.520 by the way I

00:22:28.980 don't think I

00:22:29.460 don't think this

00:22:29.980 is true but

00:22:31.120 for a long time

00:22:31.760 the rumor was

00:22:32.400 that he had to

00:22:33.320 go to the

00:22:33.580 emergency room

00:22:34.340 because a

00:22:34.860 gerbil

00:22:35.260 was stuck

00:22:37.800 up his

00:22:38.280 rectum

00:22:38.720 in some

00:22:39.920 kind of

00:22:40.380 alleged

00:22:41.140 sex play

00:22:41.980 and he

00:22:42.340 had to

00:22:42.580 get it

00:22:42.800 out.

00:22:43.880 Now I

00:22:45.380 may have

00:22:45.660 said this

00:22:46.020 before in

00:22:46.540 public but

00:22:47.600 I've never

00:22:48.180 liked Richard

00:22:49.020 Richard Gere

00:22:50.300 so much as

00:22:51.900 I did when

00:22:52.480 he didn't

00:22:52.960 deny that

00:22:53.560 rumor.

00:22:55.300 I've never

00:22:56.020 loved an

00:22:56.460 actor more

00:22:57.040 honestly.

00:22:59.320 The rumor

00:23:00.140 was he put

00:23:00.700 a gerbil

00:23:01.440 up his butt

00:23:02.080 for sex

00:23:02.640 reasons and

00:23:04.080 he didn't

00:23:04.580 deny it.

00:23:05.600 Now I may

00:23:05.980 be wrong

00:23:06.320 about that

00:23:06.740 maybe somewhere

00:23:07.320 he did but

00:23:08.240 he simply

00:23:08.840 just didn't

00:23:09.380 address it.

00:23:11.200 Now I

00:23:11.620 love that.

00:23:12.860 I love that

00:23:13.740 because I

00:23:14.220 don't think

00:23:14.540 it happened

00:23:15.020 but he let

00:23:15.940 you think

00:23:16.280 it would

00:23:16.620 happen because

00:23:17.300 he let

00:23:17.580 you enjoy

00:23:17.980 it.

00:23:18.200 Now Richard

00:23:19.660 Gere

00:23:19.980 studies Zen

00:23:20.880 right?

00:23:21.640 That's sort

00:23:22.180 of his

00:23:22.520 philosophical

00:23:23.640 nature and

00:23:24.980 I feel like

00:23:25.860 I feel like

00:23:27.620 that was the

00:23:28.020 perfect Zen

00:23:28.720 response.

00:23:30.220 If you want

00:23:31.080 to believe

00:23:31.380 it go

00:23:33.180 ahead.

00:23:34.900 And so I

00:23:35.920 would like to

00:23:36.460 be as big

00:23:37.140 a man as

00:23:37.900 Richard Gere

00:23:39.520 should this

00:23:40.200 ever happen

00:23:40.700 to me.

00:23:41.800 If you want

00:23:42.680 to believe

00:23:43.020 it whatever

00:23:43.780 it is in

00:23:44.820 the future

00:23:45.200 go ahead

00:23:46.320 if you like

00:23:47.460 it.

00:23:48.200 If it

00:23:48.980 entertains

00:23:49.460 you go

00:23:49.980 ahead.

00:23:50.580 You have

00:23:51.100 my blessing.

00:23:53.720 All right

00:23:54.020 but here's

00:23:54.800 the story.

00:23:55.260 The

00:23:55.400 independent

00:23:56.000 publication

00:23:57.700 I think

00:23:58.020 it's a

00:23:58.260 UK

00:23:58.460 publication

00:23:59.020 they

00:24:00.500 started

00:24:00.840 their

00:24:01.060 article

00:24:01.380 with

00:24:01.720 this.

00:24:02.000 This is

00:24:03.520 good writing

00:24:04.760 right here.

00:24:07.700 Boris Johnson

00:24:08.480 may have

00:24:09.220 hailed

00:24:09.780 Joe Biden

00:24:10.400 as

00:24:10.680 a big

00:24:11.740 breath of

00:24:12.260 fresh air

00:24:12.820 but it

00:24:14.020 appears that

00:24:14.720 events at

00:24:15.340 the climate

00:24:16.340 summit conference

00:24:17.280 in Glasgow

00:24:17.800 may have

00:24:18.740 given the

00:24:19.240 Duchess of

00:24:19.860 Cornwall

00:24:20.320 on some

00:24:21.180 level

00:24:21.500 grounds to

00:24:22.520 disagree.

00:24:23.740 That's right.

00:24:24.380 So Biden

00:24:25.300 was called

00:24:25.740 a big

00:24:26.200 breath of

00:24:26.700 fresh air

00:24:27.180 but the

00:24:28.140 story is

00:24:28.660 that

00:24:28.960 apparently

00:24:30.560 when he

00:24:30.880 was meeting

00:24:31.360 Kamala

00:24:31.880 the Duchess

00:24:33.120 he farted

00:24:35.500 so long

00:24:37.440 and loud

00:24:38.940 it was

00:24:39.940 impossible

00:24:40.400 to ignore

00:24:41.100 and apparently

00:24:42.600 she can't

00:24:43.120 stop talking

00:24:43.620 about it.

00:24:45.260 And what I

00:24:45.980 love is that

00:24:46.640 the president's

00:24:47.780 alleged fart

00:24:48.720 was classified

00:24:50.500 not only by

00:24:51.420 its audible

00:24:52.820 volume but

00:24:53.620 by its

00:24:54.040 length.

00:24:55.600 So now

00:24:55.980 we've got

00:24:56.360 a sense

00:24:57.060 of how

00:24:57.360 loud it

00:24:57.840 was but

00:24:58.680 also how

00:24:59.100 long it

00:24:59.660 lasted and

00:25:00.340 I don't

00:25:00.960 know if

00:25:01.160 you know

00:25:01.400 but that

00:25:01.760 is two

00:25:03.460 of the

00:25:03.680 most important

00:25:04.420 variables

00:25:05.480 in a fart.

00:25:07.180 How loud

00:25:07.920 and how

00:25:08.260 long does

00:25:08.540 it last?

00:25:08.960 Now there

00:25:09.260 are other

00:25:09.520 ones you

00:25:09.940 know there's

00:25:10.400 of course

00:25:11.580 there's the

00:25:12.180 whole short

00:25:13.060 consideration so

00:25:14.360 there's much

00:25:14.720 more to this

00:25:15.220 topic but I

00:25:16.200 think the two

00:25:16.880 important things

00:25:17.540 are the

00:25:17.940 volume

00:25:19.040 loudness

00:25:20.400 loudness

00:25:21.640 volume

00:25:21.960 loudness

00:25:22.720 volume

00:25:23.080 stop it

00:25:24.040 stop it

00:25:24.620 the loudness

00:25:25.300 volume is all

00:25:25.900 I'm talking

00:25:26.200 about and

00:25:27.540 the length

00:25:29.240 so apparently

00:25:30.620 those were

00:25:31.100 impressive.

00:25:32.720 And on

00:25:33.860 Twitter

00:25:34.140 Twitter user

00:25:35.060 called

00:25:35.820 Becoming

00:25:36.380 Alert

00:25:36.760 has suggested

00:25:39.180 that because

00:25:39.660 of this

00:25:40.000 situation

00:25:40.460 they might

00:25:40.920 need to

00:25:41.480 rename

00:25:42.120 Air Force

00:25:43.940 One to

00:25:45.420 Air Force

00:25:46.080 Two.

00:25:48.380 I'll just

00:25:48.960 let that

00:25:49.380 sit there

00:25:50.240 for a while.

00:25:51.420 Yes they

00:25:51.780 might have

00:25:52.220 to rename

00:25:52.760 Air Force

00:25:53.320 One to

00:25:53.740 Air Force

00:25:54.220 Two.

00:25:56.680 Okay you

00:25:57.540 have to give

00:25:58.000 me that one.

00:25:59.040 I mean not

00:25:59.380 me it's not

00:25:59.920 my joke but

00:26:00.740 that's pretty

00:26:01.740 funny.

00:26:02.100 As dad

00:26:05.040 jokes go

00:26:05.700 that's pretty

00:26:06.460 funny.

00:26:07.260 Come on

00:26:07.880 admit it.

00:26:10.020 You know

00:26:10.320 you liked

00:26:10.700 it.

00:26:11.260 Air Force

00:26:11.660 Two.

00:26:14.840 Excuse me.

00:26:16.020 Allergies.

00:26:18.360 All right.

00:26:21.440 So again I

00:26:22.500 don't know if

00:26:23.060 this happened but

00:26:23.940 it's pretty

00:26:24.360 funny.

00:26:24.700 so Gladden

00:26:28.480 Greenwald is

00:26:29.120 reminding us

00:26:29.820 again in a

00:26:30.960 tweet he said

00:26:31.560 the last two

00:26:32.520 DOJ indictments

00:26:33.560 DOJ indictments

00:26:35.320 first was

00:26:37.460 Hillary's

00:26:39.060 lawyer and

00:26:39.960 I don't know

00:26:40.620 if you call it

00:26:41.060 Hillary's

00:26:41.460 lawyer and

00:26:42.260 then of

00:26:42.660 Christopher

00:26:43.140 Steele's

00:26:43.620 main source

00:26:44.260 shows that

00:26:45.980 the Clinton

00:26:46.380 campaign funded

00:26:47.380 and fed to

00:26:47.860 the FBI a

00:26:48.640 gigantic batch

00:26:49.580 of lies in

00:26:50.340 the 2016

00:26:51.120 election which

00:26:52.660 the vast bulk

00:26:53.520 of the media

00:26:54.020 spent three

00:26:54.680 years ratifying

00:26:55.520 and spreading.

00:26:57.280 Now is it

00:26:59.600 my imagination

00:27:00.260 or is this

00:27:01.140 story too

00:27:01.880 big for our

00:27:03.200 brains to

00:27:04.380 process?

00:27:06.080 Because I feel

00:27:06.600 like that's

00:27:07.000 what's happening.

00:27:08.540 I feel like

00:27:09.400 the Democrats

00:27:10.020 in particular

00:27:10.840 spend so much

00:27:12.360 time believing

00:27:13.440 in Russian

00:27:14.240 collusion that

00:27:16.760 when the facts

00:27:18.020 come out the

00:27:18.780 story was

00:27:19.580 literally the

00:27:20.240 opposite.

00:27:21.800 That Hillary

00:27:22.300 seemed to have

00:27:22.940 some Russian

00:27:24.000 connection at

00:27:25.820 least through

00:27:26.200 the Russian

00:27:26.860 American guy

00:27:27.640 who was born

00:27:28.060 in Russia

00:27:28.460 and even

00:27:30.500 the lawyer

00:27:30.920 had some

00:27:31.320 connections to

00:27:32.020 Russian I

00:27:32.960 guess and

00:27:34.540 they did this

00:27:35.160 disinformation

00:27:35.720 campaign and

00:27:36.760 the media

00:27:37.480 which is

00:27:38.000 obviously

00:27:38.520 illegitimate

00:27:40.340 spent years

00:27:41.900 saying it was

00:27:42.380 true.

00:27:43.840 This story is

00:27:44.900 so big that

00:27:46.960 I don't think

00:27:47.540 your brain can

00:27:48.220 handle it.

00:27:49.380 Not yours.

00:27:50.740 But I think

00:27:51.280 the brains of

00:27:51.820 the Democrats

00:27:52.480 because they're

00:27:54.020 normal, I'm

00:27:54.940 not saying

00:27:55.320 Democrats have

00:27:56.160 small brains

00:27:56.820 or something.

00:27:57.700 I'm saying

00:27:58.140 that a normal

00:27:58.820 brain put in

00:28:00.000 the situation

00:28:00.600 that the

00:28:01.000 Democrats are

00:28:01.640 in now, I

00:28:02.720 don't think

00:28:03.180 they can see

00:28:03.800 this.

00:28:05.260 I think it's

00:28:05.820 invisible.

00:28:07.320 I think that

00:28:07.980 cognitive dissonance

00:28:09.180 really creates

00:28:10.540 like a blind

00:28:12.320 spot where

00:28:14.260 this is actually

00:28:15.360 invisible.

00:28:16.960 Similar to the

00:28:17.840 many hoaxes,

00:28:18.720 I'll talk about

00:28:19.200 that in a

00:28:19.540 moment.

00:28:20.500 When you find

00:28:21.680 out something

00:28:22.120 you believe to

00:28:22.840 be true is

00:28:23.520 just completely

00:28:24.120 opposite, your

00:28:26.060 brain can't

00:28:27.080 really spend

00:28:27.600 time on it

00:28:28.300 anymore.

00:28:29.280 You just have

00:28:29.860 to sort of act

00:28:30.520 like it didn't

00:28:31.040 happen and walk

00:28:31.800 away.

00:28:32.620 I feel like this

00:28:33.580 is such a big

00:28:34.720 mind effort that

00:28:37.600 the Democrats

00:28:38.380 can't wrap their

00:28:39.200 head around the

00:28:39.720 fact that it

00:28:40.280 wasn't just not

00:28:41.380 true, it was

00:28:42.840 opposite.

00:28:44.360 It was opposite.

00:28:46.000 And the worst

00:28:46.900 thing we've ever

00:28:47.540 seen in this

00:28:48.120 country, I

00:28:48.820 would imagine,

00:28:50.300 certainly worse

00:28:51.080 than Watergate.

00:28:52.280 Let me ask you

00:28:53.120 this.

00:28:54.200 Joking aside, is

00:28:56.160 this worse than

00:28:56.860 Watergate?

00:28:57.840 No joke.

00:28:58.860 Give me your

00:28:59.400 honest answer.

00:29:00.400 Take the

00:29:00.980 politics out for

00:29:01.680 a moment if you

00:29:02.180 can.

00:29:02.780 It's impossible.

00:29:03.920 But if you're

00:29:05.400 just going to be

00:29:06.160 absolutely as

00:29:07.620 unbiased as

00:29:08.420 possible, is

00:29:09.880 this worse than

00:29:10.580 Watergate?

00:29:12.500 Yeah, it's not

00:29:13.460 even close, is

00:29:14.560 it?

00:29:15.800 Right?

00:29:16.100 I mean, usually

00:29:17.540 I ask a question

00:29:18.340 like this, I'm

00:29:18.880 going to get a

00:29:19.240 little disagreement,

00:29:20.380 but this isn't

00:29:21.440 even close.

00:29:22.960 And how much

00:29:23.460 attention did

00:29:24.140 Watergate get?

00:29:26.060 A lot more

00:29:26.840 than this.

00:29:28.400 The news is

00:29:29.340 going to treat

00:29:29.780 this like it

00:29:30.340 didn't happen.

00:29:31.180 I mean, the

00:29:31.620 same people who

00:29:32.560 spread the lies

00:29:33.360 up until now are

00:29:34.600 just going to act

00:29:35.100 like it didn't

00:29:35.560 happen, and they

00:29:36.200 are, successfully.

00:29:38.260 successfully, they

00:29:40.700 are successfully

00:29:42.380 making this story

00:29:46.540 go away.

00:29:47.160 Biggest story, I

00:29:48.980 don't know, biggest

00:29:49.440 story in years, in

00:29:50.560 my opinion.

00:29:51.320 What's bigger than

00:29:52.000 this?

00:29:53.060 What?

00:29:53.600 Pulling the end

00:29:54.040 of Afghanistan?

00:29:55.180 Maybe, I don't

00:29:55.880 know, barely.

00:29:57.380 Pandemic?

00:29:58.620 Pandemic's pretty

00:29:59.220 big news, but I

00:30:00.080 don't know if it's

00:30:00.600 as big as this.

00:30:02.860 This seems pretty

00:30:03.560 big.

00:30:03.900 All right.

00:30:07.260 I finished

00:30:08.280 watching Tucker

00:30:09.360 Carlson's series,

00:30:10.500 The Patriot Purge.

00:30:11.820 How many of you

00:30:12.760 have also watched

00:30:13.640 the Tucker Carlson

00:30:15.580 special, The Patriot

00:30:16.780 Purge, three parts?

00:30:19.180 All right.

00:30:19.780 Now, I recommended

00:30:20.420 it to you based on

00:30:21.300 just the half of the

00:30:22.320 first part, because

00:30:23.460 it was mind-blowing.

00:30:24.640 And it is mind-blowing,

00:30:26.140 and I recommend it.

00:30:27.440 But I'll give you

00:30:28.560 my full review of it,

00:30:30.860 and then it might

00:30:33.120 make your viewing

00:30:34.260 more fun.

00:30:35.780 Number one, it

00:30:37.220 doesn't seem like

00:30:38.920 it was intended to

00:30:39.800 be an unbiased

00:30:41.860 approach.

00:30:43.480 Can I say that?

00:30:45.660 Can I say that it

00:30:46.760 doesn't look like

00:30:47.580 there was an attempt

00:30:48.740 to make it an

00:30:49.580 unbiased approach?

00:30:51.620 It's a biased,

00:30:53.580 right-leaning

00:30:54.060 approach to it.

00:30:55.280 Now, if you look

00:30:55.860 at that and then

00:30:56.500 compare it to the

00:30:57.140 rest of the news,

00:30:57.820 you might be able

00:30:58.640 to triangulate

00:30:59.460 what's true.

00:31:00.460 But it's not trying

00:31:01.340 to show you both

00:31:01.980 sides.

00:31:02.400 It really isn't.

00:31:03.120 So be aware

00:31:03.880 that it will

00:31:05.500 paint the

00:31:06.560 January 6th event

00:31:08.700 as sort of a

00:31:11.220 sounds a little bit

00:31:13.480 more like a stroll

00:31:14.260 in the park

00:31:14.840 by the time you're

00:31:15.580 done.

00:31:15.880 I'm exaggerating

00:31:16.640 here.

00:31:17.380 But it starts

00:31:19.720 out by saying

00:31:20.280 that the story

00:31:21.040 was exaggerated

00:31:21.760 in the other

00:31:22.780 direction.

00:31:23.720 And it makes

00:31:24.420 a credible case

00:31:25.600 for it,

00:31:26.360 which is that

00:31:27.080 the media was

00:31:27.840 calling it a

00:31:28.380 deadly day,

00:31:29.140 deadly attacks,

00:31:29.960 et cetera,

00:31:30.260 but literally

00:31:31.260 nobody died

00:31:32.280 on the

00:31:34.080 police or

00:31:35.420 government side.

00:31:37.840 There was one

00:31:38.340 protester who was

00:31:39.180 killed in

00:31:40.960 circumstances that

00:31:42.900 a lot of people

00:31:43.340 have questions

00:31:43.840 about.

00:31:44.640 But that was

00:31:45.500 the only death.

00:31:46.880 And the media

00:31:47.640 pretended that

00:31:48.380 there was a,

00:31:49.640 I don't know,

00:31:52.440 was he capital

00:31:53.120 police or police

00:31:53.900 officer?

00:31:54.240 But they

00:31:55.240 pretended that

00:31:55.840 he was injured

00:31:57.200 and died later

00:31:58.340 of his injuries

00:31:58.940 and none of

00:31:59.380 that happened.

00:31:59.980 He seemed to

00:32:00.680 die for

00:32:01.020 unrelated reasons

00:32:01.960 but not long

00:32:02.720 after.

00:32:03.840 But he wasn't

00:32:04.380 hit by a fire

00:32:06.480 extinguisher and

00:32:07.340 he wasn't bear

00:32:08.460 sprayed.

00:32:09.280 So that part

00:32:09.760 we do know.

00:32:11.480 So,

00:32:12.700 Tucker does

00:32:15.660 make the case

00:32:16.280 that it was

00:32:16.800 exaggerated to

00:32:17.700 how bad it

00:32:18.180 was.

00:32:19.120 But here's

00:32:20.080 my pushback

00:32:21.860 on that.

00:32:22.340 In my

00:32:24.240 opinion,

00:32:25.240 if a

00:32:25.700 unpredictable,

00:32:26.840 and here's

00:32:27.220 the key word,

00:32:28.300 unpredictable.

00:32:29.440 I'm not saying

00:32:30.080 they were

00:32:30.340 dangerous and

00:32:31.660 I'm not saying

00:32:32.160 they were not

00:32:32.620 dangerous because

00:32:33.200 that you don't

00:32:33.680 know.

00:32:34.560 When you're in

00:32:35.220 the middle of

00:32:35.640 it, you don't

00:32:35.960 really know.

00:32:37.880 Right?

00:32:38.840 So it was

00:32:39.260 unpredictable.

00:32:40.440 And if an

00:32:41.060 unpredictable mob

00:32:42.280 who are pretty

00:32:42.800 angry gets

00:32:44.600 inside the

00:32:45.560 building where

00:32:46.120 our elected

00:32:46.680 officials are,

00:32:48.620 in my opinion,

00:32:49.500 you can start

00:32:50.080 shooting.

00:32:50.440 Now, I

00:32:53.080 don't think

00:32:53.560 that, I

00:32:54.320 think it's a

00:32:54.780 tragedy that,

00:32:56.240 was it

00:32:57.000 Ashley, was

00:32:58.200 that her

00:32:58.420 name, was

00:32:59.900 shot while

00:33:01.600 protesting.

00:33:03.360 So you

00:33:04.620 could argue

00:33:05.320 all day long

00:33:06.040 whether the

00:33:06.540 shooter made

00:33:07.140 the right

00:33:07.420 decision or

00:33:08.080 not.

00:33:09.120 Because it's

00:33:09.540 a very specific

00:33:10.200 situation.

00:33:11.120 But I'd say

00:33:11.680 in general,

00:33:12.940 if an

00:33:13.380 unpredictable,

00:33:14.400 angry crowd

00:33:15.080 gets inside

00:33:15.860 the building

00:33:16.300 with your

00:33:16.760 elected leaders,

00:33:17.500 you can start

00:33:18.460 shooting.

00:33:18.800 shooting, I'm

00:33:19.980 okay with

00:33:20.360 that.

00:33:21.840 Now, I

00:33:22.640 think that it

00:33:23.360 was maybe

00:33:23.940 misunderstanding,

00:33:25.140 maybe it

00:33:25.480 wasn't that

00:33:25.920 dangerous, who

00:33:26.520 knows.

00:33:27.700 But if you

00:33:28.720 get an

00:33:29.180 unpredictable

00:33:29.760 crowd inside

00:33:30.800 my government

00:33:31.460 building, and

00:33:32.640 my government

00:33:33.300 officials are

00:33:34.160 cowering and

00:33:35.520 hiding inside,

00:33:36.780 yeah, you can

00:33:37.220 start shooting.

00:33:38.600 I'm okay with

00:33:39.180 that.

00:33:40.720 Now, just my

00:33:43.500 opinion, I know

00:33:44.180 many of you

00:33:45.000 disagree.

00:33:45.360 And I'll

00:33:46.840 allow that you

00:33:47.520 can have some

00:33:48.020 disagreement on

00:33:48.680 this one.

00:33:49.920 The other

00:33:50.560 thing that

00:33:51.140 Tucker's special

00:33:53.140 Patriot Purge

00:33:53.920 did really

00:33:54.820 well is

00:33:55.600 back up a

00:33:57.440 prediction that

00:33:58.120 I made and

00:33:59.660 got mocked for.

00:34:00.620 Do you

00:34:00.760 remember my

00:34:01.220 prediction before

00:34:02.020 the election

00:34:02.500 that if Biden

00:34:03.700 won, Republicans

00:34:05.500 would be hunted?

00:34:07.580 It's confirmed.

00:34:09.340 Now, not every

00:34:10.100 Republican in

00:34:10.860 every way, not

00:34:11.920 yet, but it's

00:34:13.160 pretty clear, and

00:34:14.140 I think Tucker

00:34:14.960 makes this case

00:34:15.680 really well, that

00:34:17.520 the people who

00:34:18.860 have been locked

00:34:19.360 up do not seem

00:34:20.840 to be anything

00:34:21.660 but political

00:34:22.280 prisoners.

00:34:23.560 That means they

00:34:24.200 were hunted.

00:34:25.080 They were

00:34:25.540 literally looked

00:34:26.460 for by facial

00:34:27.580 recognition and

00:34:28.500 every other

00:34:28.960 means.

00:34:29.780 They were hunted

00:34:30.400 down.

00:34:31.020 People who were

00:34:31.560 there for peaceful

00:34:32.520 reasons, were not

00:34:34.380 accused of any

00:34:35.260 violence whatsoever,

00:34:37.100 were hunted

00:34:37.640 down.

00:34:39.200 And don't you

00:34:40.600 think that this

00:34:41.720 is part of a

00:34:42.580 larger demonization

00:34:43.740 of Trump

00:34:44.360 supporters to

00:34:45.620 make it easier

00:34:46.220 to arrest any

00:34:46.960 Trump supporter

00:34:47.620 without a

00:34:48.900 reason?

00:34:50.180 Keep in mind

00:34:51.120 that the

00:34:51.760 allegation, I

00:34:52.520 don't know if

00:34:52.800 this is true,

00:34:53.400 but it sounded

00:34:53.980 incredible, that

00:34:55.140 even right now

00:34:56.020 there are people

00:34:57.640 in jail for

00:34:58.420 nonviolent crimes

00:34:59.580 like in solitary

00:35:00.640 confinement and

00:35:01.440 stuff.

00:35:02.380 I mean, some

00:35:02.780 pretty bad stuff

00:35:03.940 happened to those

00:35:04.660 protesters who

00:35:05.420 were not accused

00:35:06.220 of a violent

00:35:06.840 crime, many of

00:35:08.020 them.

00:35:08.640 Now, they were

00:35:09.460 certainly in the

00:35:10.000 wrong place at the

00:35:11.040 wrong time.

00:35:12.420 But I would

00:35:14.220 say that the

00:35:14.780 how many would

00:35:15.980 give me this?

00:35:17.600 So this is a

00:35:18.340 judgment call,

00:35:18.980 right?

00:35:20.000 So would you

00:35:21.060 say that my

00:35:21.820 prediction that

00:35:23.000 Republicans would

00:35:24.160 be hunted has

00:35:26.380 been borne out?

00:35:27.720 Obviously not

00:35:28.500 every Republican

00:35:29.400 is being hunted,

00:35:30.160 right?

00:35:31.380 On locals, lots

00:35:32.580 of yeses.

00:35:33.740 Let's see, over

00:35:34.220 on YouTube, what

00:35:35.500 do you think?

00:35:36.660 Did that prediction

00:35:38.120 bear out?

00:35:38.660 Seeing some

00:35:40.640 yeses, true

00:35:41.740 yeses, mostly

00:35:42.900 yeses.

00:35:43.900 Now, keep in

00:35:44.900 mind how much I

00:35:45.520 was mocked for

00:35:46.300 that.

00:35:47.300 Didn't that sound

00:35:47.880 crazy?

00:35:49.400 I mean, even

00:35:50.020 people who were

00:35:51.440 right-leaning or

00:35:52.980 independent said,

00:35:54.820 you know, you've

00:35:55.160 gone too far,

00:35:55.840 they're not going

00:35:56.400 to be hunted.

00:35:58.100 Literally hunted

00:35:58.940 and jailed.

00:36:00.620 Literally hunted

00:36:02.280 and jailed.

00:36:04.940 That's happening

00:36:05.680 right now.

00:36:06.240 And, apparently

00:36:08.500 we're okay with

00:36:09.280 it because we're

00:36:09.960 letting it stand.

00:36:11.980 I don't think

00:36:12.840 we'll be okay

00:36:13.400 with it on

00:36:13.920 2022 or 2024.

00:36:16.860 I feel like

00:36:17.940 it's game over.

00:36:20.900 I think Democrats

00:36:21.740 are going to have

00:36:22.180 a defeat like

00:36:23.060 nobody's ever

00:36:24.480 seen.

00:36:26.120 At this point,

00:36:27.280 unless something

00:36:27.900 really big changes,

00:36:29.040 and of course

00:36:29.400 something really

00:36:29.960 big always does

00:36:30.640 change, so that's

00:36:31.920 the trouble with

00:36:32.440 predicting.

00:36:32.780 But, at the

00:36:35.140 moment, it's

00:36:37.100 going to be a

00:36:37.560 fucking blowout

00:36:38.680 2022.

00:36:41.600 It's going to

00:36:42.360 be just, it's

00:36:46.180 just going to be

00:36:46.680 big, I think.

00:36:49.100 That's what it

00:36:49.800 looks like, unless

00:36:50.620 something changes.

00:36:52.480 All right.

00:36:54.080 Let's see what

00:36:54.840 else is going on.

00:36:56.240 So, part of what

00:36:57.860 makes this January

00:36:59.300 6th thing so bad

00:37:00.800 is that once

00:37:01.440 you sort of

00:37:03.220 create the

00:37:04.000 standard that

00:37:05.280 if somebody is

00:37:06.080 adjacent to

00:37:07.020 white supremacists

00:37:08.240 or adjacent to

00:37:09.640 a crime that's

00:37:10.340 close enough,

00:37:11.600 because that's

00:37:12.040 really what

00:37:12.540 happened with

00:37:12.980 these people

00:37:13.780 who were

00:37:13.980 basically

00:37:14.360 trespassers and

00:37:15.800 protesters.

00:37:16.880 They were

00:37:17.460 adjacent to

00:37:19.240 worse behavior.

00:37:20.920 They weren't

00:37:21.320 there for that

00:37:21.860 behavior.

00:37:22.380 They didn't

00:37:22.680 approve of it,

00:37:23.360 but they were

00:37:23.720 in the vicinity.

00:37:25.280 They were in

00:37:25.920 the vicinity.

00:37:26.660 That was enough

00:37:27.100 to go to jail

00:37:27.720 and get

00:37:28.260 basically

00:37:30.040 mentally

00:37:30.600 destroyed

00:37:31.440 in jail.

00:37:33.540 So,

00:37:34.720 that is a

00:37:36.740 really dangerous

00:37:37.340 thing.

00:37:37.700 Now,

00:37:39.060 let me give you

00:37:39.920 some context.

00:37:40.760 You ready?

00:37:43.340 For my

00:37:44.280 audience,

00:37:45.320 it is very

00:37:45.900 important that

00:37:48.140 at least you see

00:37:49.180 both sides,

00:37:50.080 to the extent

00:37:50.720 that I know

00:37:51.260 both sides.

00:37:53.240 I want you to

00:37:54.220 put this in

00:37:54.760 context.

00:37:55.220 The things

00:37:57.820 you're thinking

00:37:58.380 that the

00:37:59.000 Democrats are

00:38:00.020 doing,

00:38:01.540 you know,

00:38:01.860 looking toward

00:38:02.620 some kind

00:38:03.780 of totalitarian

00:38:04.800 communist

00:38:06.040 situation,

00:38:07.980 putting

00:38:08.700 Republicans in

00:38:09.780 jail,

00:38:10.180 et cetera,

00:38:10.820 how much

00:38:11.520 does that

00:38:12.000 sound like

00:38:14.340 what the

00:38:15.100 left thought

00:38:15.800 Trump was

00:38:16.300 going to

00:38:16.520 do?

00:38:18.640 It's pretty

00:38:19.400 similar,

00:38:20.200 right?

00:38:21.340 Don't you

00:38:21.980 think that

00:38:22.360 the left

00:38:23.060 was so sure

00:38:24.140 that Trump

00:38:24.640 was going

00:38:24.960 to round,

00:38:25.560 do you

00:38:25.840 remember,

00:38:26.400 they actually

00:38:26.860 believed he

00:38:27.300 was going

00:38:27.560 to round

00:38:27.920 up LGBTQ

00:38:28.840 people and

00:38:29.640 put them

00:38:29.860 in camps.

00:38:31.000 That was

00:38:31.400 literally

00:38:31.800 something that

00:38:32.500 they talked

00:38:32.940 about.

00:38:34.380 Trump's the

00:38:34.840 most pro-LGBTQ

00:38:37.240 president of

00:38:38.340 all time.

00:38:39.480 I mean,

00:38:39.860 Biden,

00:38:40.180 I think,

00:38:40.500 beats him,

00:38:40.840 but up until

00:38:41.980 that point,

00:38:42.980 he was the

00:38:43.460 most pro-LGBTQ

00:38:45.040 president of

00:38:45.640 all time,

00:38:46.360 I think.

00:38:48.120 Correct me if

00:38:48.840 I'm wrong,

00:38:49.800 but he never

00:38:50.400 had any thoughts

00:38:51.320 about that

00:38:51.800 category that

00:38:53.000 were negative

00:38:53.440 that I'm aware

00:38:53.960 of.

00:38:54.580 He's not

00:38:54.920 even blamed

00:38:55.520 of that one

00:38:56.400 time he said

00:38:56.980 something insensitive.

00:38:58.960 Nothing.

00:39:00.640 And yet,

00:39:01.360 we were sure

00:39:01.820 that some

00:39:02.920 portion of the

00:39:03.440 country were

00:39:03.900 sure they

00:39:04.200 were going

00:39:04.420 to be

00:39:04.620 rounded up.

00:39:07.860 Well,

00:39:08.400 I would say

00:39:08.780 that the

00:39:09.160 actual rounding

00:39:10.000 up of these

00:39:11.040 patriots who

00:39:12.420 were at the

00:39:13.020 January 6th

00:39:14.540 goes way,

00:39:15.360 way further

00:39:16.020 than anything

00:39:17.460 that Trump

00:39:17.860 did,

00:39:18.280 although they're

00:39:19.640 going to argue

00:39:20.060 kids in cages

00:39:20.960 and stuff

00:39:21.940 like that,

00:39:22.760 which of

00:39:23.540 course is

00:39:23.860 part hoax.

00:39:27.680 Anyway,

00:39:28.820 just keep in

00:39:29.380 mind that

00:39:30.080 everything that

00:39:31.340 you imagine

00:39:31.900 is your worst

00:39:32.760 fear about the

00:39:33.560 Biden administration

00:39:34.520 was similarly

00:39:36.360 believed by

00:39:38.340 Democrats about

00:39:39.240 Trump, and they

00:39:39.800 were completely

00:39:40.420 wrong.

00:39:41.820 Right?

00:39:42.280 I mean, at this

00:39:42.980 point, you can say

00:39:43.580 they were completely

00:39:44.180 wrong, because

00:39:45.240 none of it ever

00:39:46.080 materialized.

00:39:46.860 nothing that

00:39:48.400 matched their

00:39:49.160 deepest fears

00:39:50.120 about what a

00:39:51.460 Trump could do

00:39:52.280 in office, none

00:39:53.100 of it, ended

00:39:54.460 up being even

00:39:55.660 close to anything

00:39:56.480 that happened.

00:39:57.880 Am I wrong?

00:39:59.240 I don't think

00:39:59.700 so.

00:40:01.340 All right, I

00:40:02.240 would say at

00:40:03.540 this point that

00:40:04.280 the Trump

00:40:05.080 administration is

00:40:05.940 largely defined

00:40:06.860 by three great

00:40:08.020 hoaxes, but

00:40:09.440 I'm going to

00:40:09.960 add some.

00:40:11.880 The hoaxes

00:40:12.880 that define his

00:40:13.740 administration are

00:40:14.480 first the Russia

00:40:15.200 collusion hoax,

00:40:16.100 which we now

00:40:17.220 know was

00:40:17.660 engineered by

00:40:18.260 the Democrats,

00:40:19.580 the fine people

00:40:20.880 hoax, which was

00:40:22.680 engineered by the

00:40:23.480 Democrats and

00:40:25.400 their press, and

00:40:26.920 the drinking bleach

00:40:27.960 hoax, which was

00:40:29.100 engineered by the

00:40:30.300 Democrats and the

00:40:31.280 press.

00:40:32.360 So if you think

00:40:34.020 about it, they

00:40:34.560 came up with a

00:40:35.240 hoax that would

00:40:36.920 fit every category

00:40:38.100 of what a

00:40:38.560 president does.

00:40:39.780 So the Russia

00:40:40.500 collusion hoax sort

00:40:42.400 of made him, you

00:40:43.220 know, an unfit

00:40:43.940 commander-in-chief, if

00:40:45.100 you would believe

00:40:45.560 the hoax.

00:40:46.100 The fine people

00:40:47.300 hoax would make

00:40:47.980 him, you know, a

00:40:48.740 racist, and the

00:40:50.200 drinking bleach

00:40:51.380 hoax would make

00:40:52.640 him the worst

00:40:53.200 president for a

00:40:54.020 pandemic.

00:40:55.420 So they come up

00:40:56.420 with a hoax that

00:40:57.220 matches each of his

00:40:58.160 job descriptions.

00:40:59.980 It's not a

00:41:00.560 coincidence.

00:41:01.720 There's no

00:41:02.340 coincidence here.

00:41:03.780 All right, here's

00:41:04.080 some more.

00:41:04.780 I would say that

00:41:05.500 the January 6th

00:41:06.820 insurrection is a

00:41:08.780 hoax.

00:41:10.120 Based on some

00:41:11.080 real stuff, but a

00:41:12.940 hoax.

00:41:13.320 Is anybody who

00:41:14.900 would disagree with

00:41:16.140 my characterization

00:41:17.080 of January 6th as

00:41:19.460 an actual

00:41:20.100 insurrection where

00:41:21.100 they actually

00:41:21.600 intended to take

00:41:22.960 over the country

00:41:23.520 and hold

00:41:23.920 territory, you'd

00:41:25.460 agree that was a

00:41:26.120 hoax, right?

00:41:26.600 At this point.

00:41:28.440 There were real

00:41:29.020 people doing real

00:41:29.740 bad things and

00:41:30.680 they need to be

00:41:31.220 punished.

00:41:32.420 The legal system

00:41:33.520 will take care of

00:41:34.100 that.

00:41:35.120 But that was a

00:41:35.780 hoax.

00:41:36.600 Right.

00:41:36.860 So that hoax is

00:41:39.320 the one to keep

00:41:39.940 Trump out of

00:41:41.080 office.

00:41:41.520 That's the point

00:41:41.980 of it.

00:41:43.280 But there was also

00:41:44.180 the kids in cages

00:41:45.060 hoax about

00:41:45.840 immigration.

00:41:48.680 Now, if you're

00:41:49.100 saying, wait a

00:41:49.540 minute, that wasn't

00:41:50.080 a hoax.

00:41:50.600 He actually put

00:41:51.340 kids in cages?

00:41:52.280 Yes.

00:41:53.540 Yes, he did.

00:41:55.140 Exactly like Obama

00:41:56.280 did following

00:41:57.720 Obama's, the Obama

00:41:59.540 administration rules

00:42:00.700 which required it.

00:42:02.520 Now, it looked

00:42:03.380 worse because the

00:42:04.060 volume went up.

00:42:05.440 The number of

00:42:06.080 people came

00:42:06.500 across.

00:42:07.280 But the hoax

00:42:07.840 part is to

00:42:08.480 imagine that it

00:42:09.760 was Trump's

00:42:12.840 plan.

00:42:13.900 It wasn't.

00:42:14.380 He was just

00:42:14.720 following the

00:42:15.180 law, the

00:42:16.180 Obama law.

00:42:19.960 And by the

00:42:20.620 way, I'm not in

00:42:21.560 favor of putting

00:42:22.080 kids in cages, in

00:42:23.120 case you wondered.

00:42:24.280 Here's another

00:42:24.920 one.

00:42:25.160 How about the

00:42:25.580 hoax that the

00:42:26.920 courts have ruled

00:42:27.780 there was no

00:42:28.260 election fraud?

00:42:30.680 That's a big

00:42:31.440 one.

00:42:32.340 The latest

00:42:32.860 hoax, the

00:42:34.140 courts have all

00:42:34.940 ruled, even

00:42:35.640 Bill Maher

00:42:37.160 believes this

00:42:37.660 one.

00:42:39.000 I would love

00:42:39.700 to have a

00:42:40.500 conversation with

00:42:41.340 Bill Maher,

00:42:42.000 which I just

00:42:42.500 run down the

00:42:43.760 hoaxes and see

00:42:45.180 how many of the

00:42:45.680 hoaxes he

00:42:46.240 believes.

00:42:47.180 Because I'll

00:42:47.440 bet he believes

00:42:48.000 half.

00:42:49.600 And I like to

00:42:50.960 use him as one

00:42:52.260 of my examples.

00:42:53.060 I have like three

00:42:53.720 people I use in

00:42:54.480 all my examples

00:42:55.180 because they fit

00:42:56.500 everything.

00:42:56.840 But Bill Maher

00:42:58.540 is really well

00:42:59.580 informed.

00:43:01.900 Bill Maher is

00:43:02.900 very well

00:43:03.540 informed.

00:43:04.680 And I'll

00:43:04.980 bet, it's

00:43:06.040 just a guess,

00:43:07.620 I'll bet he

00:43:08.140 believes at

00:43:08.680 least half of

00:43:09.400 the hoaxes.

00:43:12.280 Anybody want

00:43:12.980 to take that

00:43:13.380 bet?

00:43:13.980 I'll bet if I

00:43:14.420 talk to him

00:43:14.960 personally, it

00:43:16.480 would be great

00:43:16.920 to do it on

00:43:17.400 camera.

00:43:18.300 I'll bet he

00:43:18.780 would believe

00:43:19.120 half of them.

00:43:20.860 And that's a

00:43:22.360 well-informed

00:43:23.020 person.

00:43:24.320 That's how deep

00:43:25.220 this goes.

00:43:25.820 That's a well-informed

00:43:26.660 person.

00:43:27.100 And then, of

00:43:31.220 course, he

00:43:31.560 mocked a

00:43:32.160 reporter's

00:43:32.720 disability.

00:43:34.180 How many of

00:43:34.880 you know that

00:43:35.740 was a hoax,

00:43:36.300 right?

00:43:36.960 The one where

00:43:37.720 he allegedly

00:43:39.100 mocked a

00:43:39.980 reporter's

00:43:40.680 disability by

00:43:41.880 doing an

00:43:42.220 impression?

00:43:44.560 I think most

00:43:45.320 of the people

00:43:45.620 on the right

00:43:46.040 have seen the

00:43:46.560 compilation where

00:43:47.540 he does that

00:43:48.080 same impression

00:43:49.760 he does with a

00:43:50.540 variety of

00:43:51.040 people who are

00:43:51.580 clearly not

00:43:52.400 physically disabled.

00:43:54.520 It's just

00:43:54.940 something he

00:43:55.520 does when he

00:43:56.080 thinks somebody's

00:43:56.960 being stupid.

00:43:57.720 He goes,

00:43:58.040 like that.

00:44:00.160 Right.

00:44:00.760 I mean, if

00:44:01.200 you've seen the

00:44:01.700 compilation clip,

00:44:02.520 you know it's a

00:44:02.980 hoax.

00:44:03.780 If you haven't,

00:44:04.840 you think it's

00:44:05.420 definitely true.

00:44:06.840 Why wouldn't

00:44:07.240 you?

00:44:08.680 So, the

00:44:09.740 number of

00:44:10.300 hoaxes that

00:44:11.260 defined the

00:44:12.060 Trump administration

00:44:12.960 is incredible.

00:44:14.900 I mean, this

00:44:15.240 is really

00:44:15.700 incredible.

00:44:17.680 Now, certainly

00:44:18.400 there are hoaxes

00:44:19.120 about Biden as

00:44:19.960 well, but I

00:44:23.800 guess we live

00:44:24.600 in the world

00:44:25.020 of hoaxes.

00:44:26.360 All right.

00:44:26.960 Speaking of

00:44:27.580 hoaxes, how

00:44:30.140 many of you

00:44:30.720 believe the

00:44:31.300 following

00:44:31.660 statements?

00:44:32.780 All right.

00:44:33.160 So, I'm

00:44:33.780 looking for a

00:44:34.260 yes or no,

00:44:35.360 and I'm

00:44:35.680 going to give

00:44:35.980 you a statement

00:44:36.600 about the

00:44:37.200 pandemic, and

00:44:37.880 I'm going to

00:44:38.240 test whether

00:44:39.480 you have

00:44:39.900 fallen for a

00:44:40.480 hoax.

00:44:42.100 Yeah.

00:44:42.660 Not so funny

00:44:43.360 now, is it?

00:44:46.020 Because you're

00:44:47.160 wondering, oh,

00:44:48.100 crap.

00:44:49.040 I hope this

00:44:49.780 isn't me.

00:44:51.200 All right.

00:44:51.540 So, here's my

00:44:52.120 question, and we'll

00:44:52.880 find out who

00:44:53.460 fell for it.

00:44:54.080 How many of

00:44:56.500 you believe that

00:44:57.820 a vaccinated

00:44:58.500 person, on

00:44:59.320 average, not

00:45:00.300 an individual, but

00:45:01.180 on average, how

00:45:02.360 many people

00:45:02.900 believe that

00:45:03.500 vaccinated people

00:45:04.520 spread the

00:45:05.920 virus as much

00:45:06.940 as unvaccinated

00:45:09.100 people go?

00:45:10.180 How many

00:45:10.860 believe that

00:45:11.580 vaccinated people

00:45:12.820 spread as

00:45:14.440 effectively as

00:45:15.600 unvaccinated,

00:45:16.640 vaccinated and

00:45:17.480 unvaccinated?

00:45:18.040 I'm seeing

00:45:20.700 yeses and

00:45:21.300 noes.

00:45:22.540 So, do you

00:45:23.240 know which one

00:45:23.780 is the hoax and

00:45:24.420 which one is

00:45:24.880 true?

00:45:27.020 I'm seeing lots

00:45:27.900 of noes.

00:45:29.400 Joe Blow says,

00:45:30.440 I believe it.

00:45:31.560 I see yeses and

00:45:32.500 yeses and noes.

00:45:33.340 All right, here's

00:45:33.720 the answer.

00:45:34.860 How do you

00:45:35.820 spread a virus

00:45:36.980 that you don't

00:45:37.500 have?

00:45:41.200 That's the

00:45:41.760 answer.

00:45:42.860 People who are

00:45:43.520 vaccinated, they

00:45:44.940 clear the virus

00:45:45.820 much faster.

00:45:46.660 That's not in

00:45:47.380 dispute.

00:45:48.860 If two people

00:45:50.420 get the virus at

00:45:51.700 the same time,

00:45:53.540 the peak viral

00:45:55.540 load is pretty

00:45:56.080 similar, but the

00:45:57.560 person who's

00:45:58.040 vaccinated clears

00:45:58.940 it quickly and

00:46:00.520 is much less

00:46:01.140 likely to get it

00:46:01.880 in the first

00:46:02.240 place.

00:46:03.120 Much less

00:46:03.620 likely.

00:46:04.920 So, even

00:46:06.400 though the peak

00:46:07.080 viral load is

00:46:07.960 the same for a

00:46:08.640 short period, the

00:46:10.360 person who's

00:46:10.800 vaccinated doesn't

00:46:12.300 spend much time

00:46:13.180 in that condition

00:46:13.880 compared to the

00:46:15.080 unvaccinated

00:46:15.600 person.

00:46:15.940 Now, if

00:46:17.660 you're doubting

00:46:18.200 somebody saying

00:46:20.360 wrong in all

00:46:21.100 caps, I can't

00:46:23.680 tell if that's

00:46:24.100 a joke.

00:46:24.260 Oh, I was

00:46:24.560 going to hide

00:46:25.500 you, but that

00:46:26.020 might have been

00:46:26.340 a joke.

00:46:27.120 So, this is

00:46:27.620 where you can't

00:46:28.140 tell if parity

00:46:28.860 and reality

00:46:30.400 emerged.

00:46:31.420 So, somebody

00:46:31.960 said in all

00:46:32.480 caps, wrong, and

00:46:34.360 I can't tell if

00:46:34.920 that's a joke.

00:46:37.020 I mean, I

00:46:37.540 don't know.

00:46:38.260 It might be.

00:46:38.880 So, anyway, so

00:46:42.800 some of you are

00:46:43.400 still disagreeing.

00:46:44.560 Now, if the

00:46:45.340 science changes, I

00:46:46.680 will change my

00:46:47.400 opinion as well.

00:46:48.920 But, as of

00:46:50.380 now, I don't

00:46:50.960 think anybody in

00:46:51.800 science doubts

00:46:52.440 the two facts,

00:46:53.840 that you're less

00:46:54.740 likely to get it

00:46:55.560 if you're vaccinated

00:46:56.300 and you are less

00:46:59.120 likely to have it

00:47:00.000 for a long

00:47:00.800 period.

00:47:02.260 Which means that

00:47:03.960 you're way less

00:47:04.980 likely to infect

00:47:05.860 somebody if you're

00:47:06.600 vaccinated.

00:47:06.980 You can still

00:47:08.280 do it, though.

00:47:09.900 All right.

00:47:10.620 And now they're

00:47:11.380 talking about having

00:47:12.180 to get vaccinated

00:47:12.840 every three months.

00:47:16.020 Let me ask you

00:47:16.940 this.

00:47:17.440 If the government

00:47:18.120 says you have to

00:47:18.820 get a booster

00:47:19.400 every three months,

00:47:21.700 too far, right?

00:47:24.660 Too far.

00:47:28.620 That's just not

00:47:29.440 going to happen.

00:47:31.980 Telling me to get

00:47:32.840 two vaccinations

00:47:33.780 was a stretch.

00:47:35.800 But, you know,

00:47:36.700 it's an emergency,

00:47:37.620 so I got it done.

00:47:38.680 Telling me to get

00:47:39.480 two vaccinations

00:47:40.300 plus a booster

00:47:41.220 is already

00:47:43.080 stretching my

00:47:44.660 willingness to

00:47:45.400 comply.

00:47:46.580 Well, I probably

00:47:47.260 will, because,

00:47:48.140 you know, in for a

00:47:48.780 penny.

00:47:49.660 So, you know,

00:47:50.400 I'll probably

00:47:50.780 double down.

00:47:51.360 I haven't decided

00:47:52.020 yet, but I'll

00:47:52.500 probably double down

00:47:53.480 with a booster.

00:47:55.620 Now, so I'm a

00:47:58.120 compliant, wouldn't

00:47:59.740 you say, even to a

00:48:01.060 fault.

00:48:01.560 I'm a compliant

00:48:02.540 citizen.

00:48:03.060 Would you agree

00:48:04.860 that I'm a

00:48:06.400 compliant citizen?

00:48:07.620 Because I got the

00:48:08.200 vaccinations pretty

00:48:09.040 much the way I was

00:48:10.160 told to do.

00:48:13.260 Let me say this.

00:48:14.940 I'm not going to get

00:48:16.000 a booster every three

00:48:17.120 months.

00:48:18.460 I'm not.

00:48:20.040 Come on.

00:48:22.340 Especially as the

00:48:23.440 therapeutics are

00:48:24.780 coming online.

00:48:25.740 I'm not going to get

00:48:26.740 a booster.

00:48:27.100 Let me just say it as

00:48:27.980 clear as I can.

00:48:28.600 If the government

00:48:29.540 is listening, I'm

00:48:31.400 pretty compliant.

00:48:33.240 I'm just the kind

00:48:34.380 of citizen you want.

00:48:36.180 Right?

00:48:36.860 I say the Pledge of

00:48:37.800 Allegiance.

00:48:38.660 I don't kneel for

00:48:39.820 the flag.

00:48:40.980 I get my

00:48:41.800 vaccinations.

00:48:43.500 I'm not going to get

00:48:44.560 a fucking vaccination

00:48:45.800 every three months

00:48:46.780 forever.

00:48:48.280 Can I say this as

00:48:49.360 clearly as possible?

00:48:50.920 I'm a compliant

00:48:52.000 citizen.

00:48:53.180 But no, no, I'm

00:48:55.440 not going to get a

00:48:56.040 vaccination every three

00:48:57.000 months.

00:48:58.600 No.

00:49:00.520 No.

00:49:01.840 No.

00:49:03.120 Hard no.

00:49:04.540 Fuck you, no.

00:49:06.240 That's the noest no

00:49:08.160 you'll ever get from

00:49:08.980 me.

00:49:09.920 All right?

00:49:10.420 You can't get more

00:49:11.420 no than this.

00:49:12.980 This is a hard no.

00:49:15.100 So if our government

00:49:17.140 decides that's going to

00:49:18.140 be the new standard,

00:49:19.820 it's over.

00:49:22.440 It's over.

00:49:24.080 Meaning that their

00:49:25.400 ability to lead us will

00:49:26.660 just be done.

00:49:27.860 Just done.

00:49:28.600 Because I will not be

00:49:30.140 led that poorly.

00:49:33.380 I can put up with a

00:49:34.720 lot of poor leadership.

00:49:36.400 We all can.

00:49:37.420 Because it's a messy

00:49:38.120 system, right?

00:49:38.820 Sometimes they're just

00:49:39.520 guessing.

00:49:40.280 But they're guessing on

00:49:41.080 our behalf.

00:49:42.840 And, but this wouldn't

00:49:44.780 be guessing.

00:49:45.580 This would just be too

00:49:46.500 far.

00:49:46.920 Just too far.

00:49:48.360 And I don't even care

00:49:49.360 if the science supports

00:49:50.340 it.

00:49:51.240 Do you?

00:49:52.720 Let's say the science

00:49:53.740 supported it.

00:49:55.500 And you even believed

00:49:56.620 it.

00:49:58.240 I'm not going to get a

00:49:59.320 vaccination every three

00:50:00.320 months.

00:50:00.640 It's just not going to

00:50:01.620 happen.

00:50:02.400 Not in the context of

00:50:03.640 having therapeutics.

00:50:04.860 If we didn't have any

00:50:05.880 therapeutics, maybe.

00:50:08.340 Maybe.

00:50:09.220 I might be scared into it,

00:50:10.660 I guess.

00:50:11.600 But not with

00:50:12.680 therapeutics, no.

00:50:14.280 All right.

00:50:20.320 Thomas Massey had a

00:50:21.480 interesting question.

00:50:22.920 See if you agree.

00:50:24.760 Representative Massey

00:50:25.800 tweeted, if the

00:50:27.280 vaccinated are more

00:50:29.040 likely to have

00:50:29.840 asymptomatic COVID,

00:50:32.560 in other words, you

00:50:33.160 wouldn't know if you

00:50:33.720 had it if you were

00:50:34.360 vaccinated, more likely

00:50:35.500 than not, when they

00:50:37.080 catch COVID, why

00:50:38.200 doesn't Biden mandate

00:50:39.260 require testing them

00:50:41.120 weekly instead of

00:50:42.680 testing the unvaccinated?

00:50:45.220 Huh.

00:50:46.820 Interesting.

00:50:48.640 It's kind of a good

00:50:49.540 question, isn't it?

00:50:50.640 Now, there is an

00:50:51.320 answer.

00:50:51.780 There is an answer to

00:50:52.720 it.

00:50:53.260 But it's kind of a good

00:50:54.020 question.

00:50:56.080 Because his point being

00:50:58.800 that if you are

00:50:59.880 unvaccinated, you'll

00:51:01.040 immediately, fairly soon,

00:51:03.500 know if you've got

00:51:04.260 symptoms, and then, of

00:51:05.260 course, you can get

00:51:05.840 tested.

00:51:06.580 But if you are

00:51:07.380 vaccinated, and you can

00:51:08.580 still get it, you have

00:51:10.080 the most reason to test.

00:51:13.100 Am I right?

00:51:14.280 If you're vaccinated, your

00:51:16.600 reasons to get tested are

00:51:17.940 higher than your reasons

00:51:20.100 if you're unvaccinated,

00:51:21.140 because you wouldn't

00:51:21.700 know if you had it.

00:51:25.520 Now, that's not...

00:51:26.880 It's one of those points

00:51:27.740 that just makes you think.

00:51:29.040 So I'm going to...

00:51:30.480 Because Massey is one of

00:51:31.480 your smarter members of

00:51:32.860 Congress, right?

00:51:33.880 So sometimes I think he's

00:51:35.160 just making you think

00:51:36.060 about the logic of it.

00:51:38.880 Right?

00:51:39.140 Now, I do think that

00:51:40.540 there's, you know, there's

00:51:42.260 a reason, blah, blah, blah.

00:51:44.120 I'm not going to give you

00:51:45.080 my math reason, because you

00:51:46.360 won't agree with it

00:51:47.000 anyway.

00:51:47.460 I think it could be

00:51:48.320 defended.

00:51:50.040 But it's a good question.

00:51:51.720 It's a perfectly good

00:51:52.680 question.

00:51:54.300 I think the answer would

00:51:55.560 be either test everybody,

00:51:56.880 or why are you

00:51:57.780 bothering?

00:51:58.080 All right.

00:52:00.240 Bill Maher was dumping

00:52:01.280 on the children.

00:52:05.900 Is climate change

00:52:07.240 the only issue where

00:52:10.820 children are in charge?

00:52:13.200 Can you think of another

00:52:14.280 one?

00:52:15.400 And am I wrong?

00:52:16.540 That children are in

00:52:17.580 charge of climate change?

00:52:19.460 You know, through, let's

00:52:20.800 say, Tunberg, Greta

00:52:23.500 Tunberg.

00:52:24.220 Now, she's no longer

00:52:25.180 technically a child.

00:52:26.320 But her followers are

00:52:28.520 mostly children, and I

00:52:29.740 think children are

00:52:30.440 driving things, right?

00:52:32.440 You know, hey, stop

00:52:33.440 leaving this burning

00:52:34.300 planet for us.

00:52:36.000 Blah, blah, blah.

00:52:36.620 But it also looks like

00:52:37.660 our solutions are from

00:52:38.760 children, sometimes.

00:52:42.300 Because if climate change

00:52:44.280 were the risk people are

00:52:45.860 saying, and adults were in

00:52:47.780 charge, what would they be

00:52:48.740 talking about?

00:52:50.080 If climate change were

00:52:51.600 run, if the topic were

00:52:54.180 being managed by adults,

00:52:56.320 what would be the main

00:52:57.480 thing that they'd be

00:52:58.140 talking about?

00:52:59.740 Nuclear energy, right?

00:53:02.140 Adults know you need

00:53:03.700 nuclear energy.

00:53:05.100 Why are the children, and

00:53:06.680 why is climate change not

00:53:08.040 talking more about nuclear

00:53:09.440 power?

00:53:10.520 Do you know why?

00:53:11.740 Because children are

00:53:12.940 afraid of it.

00:53:14.880 That's why.

00:53:15.860 I mean, adults do, to

00:53:17.560 some extent, if they're not

00:53:18.580 informed about the newer

00:53:20.140 technologies.

00:53:20.720 But you can see the signs

00:53:23.940 that children are in charge

00:53:25.260 because they don't talk

00:53:26.900 about the solution.

00:53:28.500 They're afraid of the

00:53:29.520 solution.

00:53:30.700 Nuclear.

00:53:32.000 So we certainly need to get

00:53:34.740 children not in charge of

00:53:36.540 our major issues, no matter

00:53:39.920 how major you think that is.

00:53:42.280 And the children are shaming

00:53:43.620 us into action because they

00:53:44.920 believe it, because they've

00:53:46.680 been brainwashed.

00:53:47.260 They're the least rational

00:53:49.800 creatures, and they're in

00:53:50.780 charge of our, what they

00:53:52.060 would say, and many would

00:53:53.140 say is our biggest issue.

00:53:54.820 So am I wrong that the

00:53:57.340 issue that Democrats at least

00:53:58.660 would say is the biggest

00:53:59.720 issue to the planet, the

00:54:02.260 children are in charge of

00:54:03.240 it?

00:54:04.500 Is that wrong?

00:54:06.560 Because it looks that way

00:54:07.600 to me.

00:54:08.280 Remember, I always tell you

00:54:09.160 that we misread where power

00:54:11.100 comes from.

00:54:12.200 We think that the elected

00:54:13.520 officials have power.

00:54:15.100 Not really.

00:54:15.720 They only have power to help

00:54:18.200 us on the ones where we

00:54:19.320 can't decide because the

00:54:20.380 public is divided.

00:54:23.660 But climate change is just

00:54:24.640 clearly the children are in

00:54:26.300 charge.

00:54:27.000 Somehow we put them in

00:54:27.920 charge, and their fears are

00:54:29.840 making our decisions, driven

00:54:32.200 by fear.

00:54:34.080 Children's fear.

00:54:35.860 And somehow we drifted into

00:54:37.180 this situation and accept it.

00:54:39.460 Now, let me change

00:54:41.060 everything.

00:54:41.960 Are you ready?

00:54:42.340 Nothing we talked about

00:54:45.580 matters.

00:54:47.060 That's the headline to the

00:54:48.400 next topic.

00:54:50.180 Nothing I've talked about in

00:54:51.620 the news will matter.

00:54:54.940 There's something bigger

00:54:56.200 coming.

00:54:57.220 It's going to make everything

00:54:58.620 you talked about suddenly not

00:55:01.340 matter nearly as much.

00:55:04.620 Remember I told you there are

00:55:06.020 some things that I hear before

00:55:08.040 you hear?

00:55:08.460 Here's the one I was waiting

00:55:10.960 for.

00:55:11.420 Not the one, but one.

00:55:14.020 So here's something really,

00:55:15.500 really big that I knew about

00:55:18.140 before you, just because I got

00:55:20.400 to hear about it personally.

00:55:23.000 So Sam Altman, famous investor.

00:55:25.940 I think he's still head of Y

00:55:27.060 Combinator.

00:55:28.340 So if you don't know the name

00:55:30.060 Sam Altman, just Google it so

00:55:31.980 you can understand the story.

00:55:33.680 Just Google Sam Altman.

00:55:34.760 What you need to know is when

00:55:36.780 it comes to, you know,

00:55:38.000 startups and investing, one of

00:55:40.280 the smartest people on the

00:55:41.220 planet and one of the more

00:55:44.440 successful ones, right?

00:55:46.260 So insanely smart, successful,

00:55:49.560 and in exactly the right place

00:55:51.160 to tell you this.

00:55:54.400 He's invested in and plans to

00:55:56.500 invest more in a company named

00:55:58.440 Helion, which plans to make

00:56:02.820 net electricity from fusion in

00:56:05.500 2024.

00:56:10.320 Now, some of you know what

00:56:11.540 that means.

00:56:13.100 Let me say it again.

00:56:14.820 One of the most

00:56:16.280 believable and credible people

00:56:19.760 in the area of what's coming,

00:56:22.180 especially somebody who's

00:56:23.320 invested a lot of money in it

00:56:25.240 and has been working in this

00:56:27.180 area for seven years, just told

00:56:29.560 you in a tweet that they're

00:56:32.180 going to have net electricity,

00:56:33.840 meaning that they will make

00:56:35.300 more electricity than they

00:56:36.620 will use energy, from fusion

00:56:39.040 in 2024.

00:56:44.540 That changes everything.

00:56:47.440 Do you realize what this

00:56:48.760 changes?

00:56:49.080 If he's right, and remember,

00:56:52.160 high credibility here.

00:56:54.320 If he's right, everything's

00:56:57.240 going to be different.

00:56:57.740 Now, you can't even, I mean,

00:57:00.200 it's almost impossible to

00:57:01.400 understand how different this

00:57:03.120 will be.

00:57:04.440 Now, if anybody's new to this,

00:57:05.940 fusion would be the safe,

00:57:07.760 cheap form of nuclear that

00:57:13.320 wouldn't melt down.

00:57:14.380 It can't.

00:57:15.980 And he says, further, he says,

00:57:17.880 this is what Sam says, with the

00:57:19.900 long-term goal of electricity for

00:57:22.060 one cent per kilowatt hour.

00:57:24.060 Electricity might cost one cent per

00:57:28.800 kilowatt hour.

00:57:29.780 Can somebody tell me what your

00:57:31.240 cost of energy is per kilowatt hour

00:57:33.480 where you live?

00:57:34.980 If there's somebody here who has a,

00:57:38.440 I'm seeing numbers like 13, 25,

00:57:42.760 11, probably depends where you are,

00:57:45.320 right?

00:57:46.340 All right, this is gigantic.

00:57:48.280 This is gigantic.

00:57:49.280 Now, do you think that this fusion

00:57:52.080 model, should it work, do you think

00:57:54.340 it will be reproducible?

00:57:57.480 Yup.

00:57:58.620 Because I don't imagine that Sam

00:58:01.220 Altman would fund something that you

00:58:03.600 could only make one of them.

00:58:06.120 Right?

00:58:06.900 He's not going to do that.

00:58:08.300 So, obviously, they're building a

00:58:09.740 model that you can reproduce.

00:58:13.820 This changes everything.

00:58:15.080 Now, here's why I knew about this

00:58:19.300 before you did.

00:58:20.400 So, I actually heard it from Sam

00:58:21.880 Altman.

00:58:23.360 Got to hang with him a little bit

00:58:25.760 a few years ago, and he told me

00:58:27.740 about his investment in this, and

00:58:30.060 told me, he said the following

00:58:32.280 statement then.

00:58:33.960 He said, it's been reduced to an

00:58:35.440 engineering problem.

00:58:36.900 Maybe you've heard me say that

00:58:38.300 before, but that's where I heard it.

00:58:40.420 It's been reduced to an engineering

00:58:41.860 problem.

00:58:43.280 They solved the science.

00:58:45.420 The science is already solved.

00:58:47.660 They just have to iterate until

00:58:49.580 they figure it out.

00:58:50.980 And we know how to do that.

00:58:53.100 We know how to iterate.

00:58:54.920 And so they are.

00:58:56.420 He's iterating to success.

00:58:58.120 And he thinks 2024.

00:58:59.940 Do you think he would have tweeted

00:59:01.060 this unless he was pretty

00:59:02.060 confident?

00:59:03.520 I don't know.

00:59:04.920 I mean, I think he'd have to be

00:59:06.780 pretty confident to tweet this.

00:59:09.140 So, again, when you hear a story

00:59:11.340 that's this big, I think your

00:59:12.780 automatic response should be,

00:59:14.960 well, I don't know, right?

00:59:16.860 If you just doubted every big story

00:59:18.940 about fusion for the last 30 years,

00:59:21.880 you would have been right every time.

00:59:24.780 But this one's a little bit

00:59:26.860 different.

00:59:27.960 Let me say, let me put it in a

00:59:29.540 different context.

00:59:30.200 If Elon Musk had told you that you

00:59:34.600 might have fusion in two years

00:59:36.300 because it looks good, would you

00:59:37.560 believe it?

00:59:39.580 If Elon Musk told you that, would you

00:59:42.180 believe it?

00:59:42.660 If he told you it was an engineering

00:59:44.220 problem, it had been reduced to an

00:59:46.620 engineering problem we think we can

00:59:47.980 have in two years, would you believe

00:59:49.680 him?

00:59:52.520 Some yeses, some noes.

00:59:53.880 You know, I never criticize the

00:59:57.300 skeptics because doubting stuff

00:59:59.280 usually turns out to be right.

01:00:02.840 But, so Sam Maltman, you should

01:00:05.700 mentally put in the same category of

01:00:08.080 credible futurists, if you will.

01:00:11.920 Has Scott Adams also invested?

01:00:13.760 Excellent question.

01:00:15.380 How come only one person asked me if

01:00:17.020 I invested in that?

01:00:18.900 Isn't that the most logical question?

01:00:20.520 The answer is no, not, so I don't

01:00:24.040 have any financial interest in it.

01:00:26.500 Let me tell you what things I do have

01:00:28.100 financial interest in, because that's

01:00:29.600 a good question.

01:00:30.680 I recently invested in Regeneron.

01:00:34.500 Recently.

01:00:35.620 So I haven't made any money on it,

01:00:37.120 because, you know, the smart people

01:00:38.580 got in a long time ago.

01:00:40.920 I will also tell you that long before

01:00:44.480 you knew Regeneron was saving lives,

01:00:46.980 I already knew that.

01:00:49.220 And I heard it through, I can't

01:00:50.440 tell you how I heard it, but, or why

01:00:52.580 I heard it.

01:00:53.940 But, if I had invested when I first

01:00:57.380 heard it, that would have been

01:01:00.100 pretty good.

01:01:01.680 And I don't know if Regeneron can

01:01:04.120 still be a good investment, so I'm

01:01:05.500 not recommending it, by the way.

01:01:06.920 Because the therapeutics that are

01:01:08.400 coming out will be a direct

01:01:09.720 competition.

01:01:11.040 So the question is, are you going

01:01:12.440 to get both, or do you not need

01:01:14.420 as much now?

01:01:15.280 So I don't know.

01:01:16.720 But, so I don't recommend that as

01:01:18.400 an investment, but you should know

01:01:19.560 if I say good things about

01:01:20.600 Regeneron, you should know that I

01:01:22.400 also put a small amount of money

01:01:23.800 behind it.

01:01:25.020 I've also invested in Israel,

01:01:27.520 index fund.

01:01:29.120 So if Israel's economy in general

01:01:30.660 does well, I do well.

01:01:32.120 Because it's a startup nation,

01:01:33.700 and well-educated, and I think they

01:01:35.220 have their security situation under

01:01:36.740 control.

01:01:37.900 So that's why.

01:01:40.500 What else?

01:01:41.440 Bitcoin.

01:01:42.720 So I own Bitcoin.

01:01:43.820 So if I say good things about

01:01:45.340 Bitcoin, you should factor that in.

01:01:49.860 Just trying to think of investments

01:01:51.320 might have some political element to

01:01:53.980 them.

01:01:56.080 I don't have any coffee investments.

01:01:58.600 Don't have any gold.

01:02:00.360 I don't believe in gold as an

01:02:03.680 investment.

01:02:04.800 I've got some, yeah, I have

01:02:06.160 Ethereum too.

01:02:09.540 I don't have a reason to talk about

01:02:11.100 ETH too much, but I have some of

01:02:13.240 that.

01:02:14.700 Those are the only coins I have,

01:02:16.100 just ETH and WHAM, my own coin.

01:02:21.460 You have Amazon?

01:02:22.240 Oh, yes, yes.

01:02:23.020 Amazon, that's a good point.

01:02:25.500 So I've also invested in Amazon.

01:02:27.260 I bought all the tech stocks when

01:02:28.860 they dumped the pandemic.

01:02:31.840 So by Amazon, Microsoft, Tesla,

01:02:35.700 Twitter.

01:02:36.620 I have Twitter stock now.

01:02:37.900 So something else.

01:02:51.760 Let's see.

01:02:53.460 How's Twitter stock doing since you

01:02:55.140 bought it?

01:02:55.820 I think it nearly doubled since I

01:02:57.540 bought it.

01:02:59.060 I don't own any Netflix.

01:03:00.620 I should have.

01:03:02.020 I don't own any Facebook.

01:03:05.640 Oh, an Apple.

01:03:06.520 Apple, yeah.

01:03:07.800 I didn't own a lot of Apple stock.

01:03:10.700 Originally, I bought a little bit

01:03:12.000 of Apple stock, but now it's like

01:03:13.940 a major part of my portfolio

01:03:15.280 because I just held it.

01:03:19.300 Yeah, Wendhub didn't do so well.

01:03:22.560 How do you feel about Musk dumping

01:03:24.720 stock?

01:03:25.260 I don't know that he's dumping

01:03:26.200 stock.

01:03:27.520 He's probably just diversified.

01:03:31.040 Oh, and I, yes, and I own, I own

01:03:33.400 equity in the locals platform.

01:03:35.120 That is correct.

01:03:38.040 And I see, I see Tesla as an energy

01:03:40.220 play.

01:03:40.580 That's Adam, Adam Townsend's

01:03:42.100 observation.

01:03:47.700 Unrealized profits.

01:03:49.580 Didn't you start with locals?

01:03:51.680 What do you mean?

01:03:53.480 Don't know what that question means.

01:03:54.860 I'm an investor in locals.

01:03:57.100 Small investor.

01:03:57.820 Do I own Rumble now?

01:04:02.740 You know, I don't think anything

01:04:04.620 happened stock-wise.

01:04:06.360 I'm not close to that, actually.

01:04:08.840 I should pay more attention.

01:04:12.680 Yeah, I'm an original investor in locals.

01:04:15.120 That's correct.

01:04:18.920 All right.

01:04:19.980 Do you sell your Ether now?

01:04:21.580 You know, once I realized that selling

01:04:24.200 crypto has the same tax implications as

01:04:29.060 other investments, I just thought,

01:04:31.060 I'll just hold it and see what happens.

01:04:33.460 So the only reason I have crypto is just

01:04:35.220 as a diversification thing.

01:04:38.560 There is a Dilbert NFT.

01:04:40.180 There's two of them.

01:04:42.880 Look for, go to OpenSeas, and then you

01:04:46.260 can find them.

01:04:47.460 They're both for sale.

01:04:48.380 One of them for $21 million.

01:04:51.480 Last I checked.

01:04:56.460 The tax man will always get you.

01:04:58.540 Yeah.

01:05:01.260 Who has the best locals channel?

01:05:03.440 I don't want to call favorites.

01:05:09.240 Will the metaverse make the bubble worse?

01:05:13.000 I don't know.

01:05:13.980 I don't know that that would make anything worse.

01:05:16.820 Oh, the bubble, you mean like

01:05:18.320 the knowledge bubble?

01:05:19.380 Yeah, actually it would.

01:05:23.800 A lesson on the technicalities of doing an NFT.

01:05:26.680 Oh, yeah, maybe.

01:05:29.420 I don't know if enough people

01:05:30.540 would care about that, though.

01:05:34.520 That was Bill Gates' toilet project.

01:05:37.820 I don't know.

01:05:38.300 I think he made some great

01:05:40.940 technical leaps there.

01:05:44.040 Scott, do you support people

01:05:47.220 resigning from work?

01:05:49.160 That's just personal decisions.

01:05:53.020 To allow audio to continue on live streams

01:05:55.600 when turning off a mobile screen.

01:05:59.100 I don't know if that's what locals controls.

01:06:02.860 Is that not something on your own phone

01:06:05.260 or your device?

01:06:06.600 I don't know if that can be modified.

01:06:09.780 Brett Weinstein said

01:06:14.180 he'd be interested in talking to me.

01:06:17.860 Well, yeah, I think he's mentioned that as well.

01:06:22.580 No, he didn't mention that to me.

01:06:24.240 That was...

01:06:25.820 I'm thinking of somebody else.

01:06:28.860 At the moment,

01:06:29.680 I'm not going to do too many appearances.

01:06:31.500 I'm just overworked.

01:06:38.940 Time to feed the kids?

01:06:41.720 Do you have any new ideas

01:06:42.960 that we'll utilize WEN tokens?

01:06:44.940 Yes, but nothing to announce.

01:06:47.140 So there is something happening there,

01:06:48.940 but don't get too excited about it.

01:06:51.460 Cats doing well?

01:06:55.500 What?

01:06:56.660 Syringes laced with fentanyl

01:06:58.220 killed Caucasians in a Houston concert.

01:07:01.640 I don't think that's true.

01:07:04.240 All right.

01:07:05.080 I think I would treat that as not true.

01:07:13.940 Do I want to invest in a marijuana tech startup?

01:07:16.900 No, not really.

01:07:20.720 Yeah, YouTube Premium allows background audio,

01:07:24.400 but I don't know how they do that.

01:07:25.780 Do we need visualizations to debunk hoaxes?

01:07:32.160 What app on my phone do I use the most?

01:07:34.060 Twitter, by far.

01:07:38.820 Why no gold?

01:07:40.580 The trouble with gold is that

01:07:42.480 it seemed to me there would be a day

01:07:45.140 when the psychology of gold just disappeared.

01:07:48.860 Now, gold will always have an industrial use,

01:07:51.560 but I feel like

01:07:55.060 and maybe crypto is what will make it happen.

01:07:57.480 If you had a choice of owning crypto,

01:08:00.980 especially Bitcoin or ETH,

01:08:04.100 if you had a choice of them versus gold,

01:08:07.040 that's no longer a close call, is it?

01:08:09.480 Because they're both psychology-based assets,

01:08:12.540 but one has clearly got momentum

01:08:15.220 and one looks like it's the past.

01:08:21.160 Why would there be 11 heart attacks

01:08:22.920 at a vaccine-mandated concert?

01:08:27.360 Well, I don't think they were heart attacks.

01:08:28.840 They were crushed, weren't they?

01:08:32.660 If crypto fails, gold is back.

01:08:34.840 That's true.

01:08:36.420 But that's...

01:08:40.840 Read the reports before commenting on Houston.

01:08:50.600 I'm going to say that the odds

01:08:52.580 that fentanyl was killing people in Houston

01:08:55.180 are very low.

01:08:57.240 Very low.

01:08:58.660 Not impossible,

01:09:00.380 but if I had to make a bet on it

01:09:02.200 without reading any of the news,

01:09:04.840 I would bet against that pretty heavily.

01:09:18.460 Seizures on video.

01:09:20.920 So it looks like there'll be more we find out.

01:09:24.300 I'm seeing people saying

01:09:25.200 the syringe story is true.

01:09:26.960 Is there other people think

01:09:28.040 the syringe story is true?

01:09:29.140 Someone was injecting people at the concert.

01:09:40.100 Interesting.

01:09:42.260 I am ignoring the long history of gold

01:09:44.580 because I think history changes with crypto.

01:09:47.720 is early reporting, fog of war.

01:09:55.880 Victims had to be revived with Narcan.

01:09:59.820 You know, it sounds like to me,

01:10:01.600 it sounds like more like

01:10:02.720 there were some bad pills at the concert

01:10:04.660 because it would only take one batch

01:10:07.600 of fake Xanax.

01:10:10.260 You know, you get the counterfeit Xanax

01:10:12.360 and it's got fentanyl.

01:10:13.500 If somebody had one batch of pills

01:10:15.120 that had too much fentanyl in it,

01:10:16.820 that would kill,

01:10:17.860 that would kill all the people who died.

01:10:21.040 I'm not saying that happened.

01:10:22.080 I'm saying that would be the,

01:10:24.080 the odds that somebody was using a syringe

01:10:26.400 when they could have handed down

01:10:27.440 counterfeit pills,

01:10:28.800 you wouldn't use a syringe

01:10:31.220 if you could use pills.

01:10:32.240 Yeah, I'm,

01:10:39.720 okay, I already convinced one of you

01:10:41.440 that the more likely explanation

01:10:43.520 is if fentanyl is part of the story,

01:10:46.820 and it might be.

01:10:47.920 It might be part of the story.

01:10:49.440 If fentanyl is part of the story,

01:10:51.540 probably it got into them through pills

01:10:53.700 and maybe there was somebody

01:10:56.260 with a syringe also,

01:10:57.940 maybe not.

01:10:59.360 Well, I feel like maybe two stories

01:11:01.260 got conflated there.

01:11:08.520 The theme of the concert

01:11:09.860 was praising Lucifer.

01:11:11.480 Is that true?

01:11:12.440 I don't think so.

01:11:14.500 Yeah, high temperatures,

01:11:15.780 dehydration, getting crushed.

01:11:18.480 How's your asthma these days?

01:11:19.820 About the same.

01:11:23.280 Poor crowd control.

01:11:28.520 Scott forgot his pills today.

01:11:31.260 All right.

01:11:33.720 That's all for now,

01:11:34.560 and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

01:11:35.880 All right.

01:11:35.960 That's all for now,

01:11:35.980 and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

01:11:36.020 All right.

01:11:54.800 Thank you.
