Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1560 Scott Adams： I Tell You All the Ways the Left is Being Manipulated by Their Own News Sources

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, ladies and gentlemen, and everything else.

00:00:09.880 What a day we have today. Wow. Wow. It's going to be so good.

00:00:17.360 Let me start by showing how I fixed iPad's design problem.

00:00:23.460 You've probably heard that Apple computer does a pretty good job on design.

00:00:26.940 Well, not good enough. I had to take the iPad and fix it myself.

00:00:33.500 And I'll show you how I did it with one of my iPads here.

00:00:39.140 See, here's my iPad. And then if you see, let's see, see right here?

00:00:46.460 See this thing? This is a little sticky thing that I added myself.

00:00:50.260 Do you know why? Because every time I want to turn on or off my iPad,

00:00:56.140 or I want to change the volume,

00:00:59.540 I have to search all four corners because they look identical,

00:01:03.500 and the iPad can work in any orientation.

00:01:06.860 So from the front, you can't tell where the power button is,

00:01:11.360 the on and off switch, and you can't tell where the volume is.

00:01:14.620 So on each of my iPads, I had to modify them

00:01:17.420 so I know which corner the stuff is,

00:01:19.620 because otherwise I have a one in four chance

00:01:22.940 of getting it right on the first time.

00:01:25.080 So my experience of the iPad is always the same.

00:01:28.500 Wow, this iPad is a miracle of design and function.

00:01:34.300 Okay, let's turn it on.

00:01:36.200 Damn it. Damn it. Damn it.

00:01:39.040 Damn it.

00:01:39.780 I hate my iPad, but at least it's on.

00:01:43.560 That's right.

00:01:44.500 Every single time I turned my iPad on or off,

00:01:48.800 I hated it.

00:01:51.360 And I hated the designers who did this to me.

00:01:55.080 I don't get it on the first try ever, it feels like.

00:01:58.380 It should be one in four you get it on the first try.

00:02:00.780 But it feels like zero.

00:02:03.640 Now, don't get me started about who created the micro USB standard.

00:02:09.360 Have you ever used the micro USB?

00:02:11.360 Here, let me give you an example.

00:02:14.240 I'll do the simultaneous sip in a moment here.

00:02:16.820 But I'll give you an example.

00:02:19.040 God damn it.

00:02:20.000 I really, is this the time I'm not going to be able to find it?

00:02:23.920 I'm going to go into a swearing rant in about a second.

00:02:28.040 Come on.

00:02:28.560 There we go.

00:02:28.920 All right, so here's a micro USB.

00:02:33.100 Now, they made it so that there's a right way to go in

00:02:36.640 and a wrong way.

00:02:37.520 So, you know, this is right sometimes

00:02:39.440 and that's right sometimes.

00:02:40.520 And let me show you how the micro USB standard works.

00:02:45.200 So, here are my headphones.

00:02:47.520 And these headphones, of course, you can charge them.

00:02:51.440 Now, the headphones look very similar on the left and the right.

00:02:54.500 So, because the people who make these headphones suck

00:03:00.240 and I hate them like I hate anything.

00:03:04.560 So, you first have to figure out which of the two places has the place you plug it in.

00:03:11.500 So, I first go, well, let's, wait, it's sort of dark in here.

00:03:16.640 I can't even, I don't know.

00:03:18.360 Could you see the black hole on the black?

00:03:20.420 It's usually dark when I use these, you know.

00:03:25.560 So, you're like feeling around.

00:03:28.020 Where is it?

00:03:29.380 Oh, is this one?

00:03:30.960 This one?

00:03:31.480 So, there's a 50% chance you get it.

00:03:33.920 So, then once you find it, then you have to get the USB into it.

00:03:38.120 Let me show you how to do that.

00:03:39.640 So, here's the USB hole.

00:03:42.580 And, uh, you see that doesn't go in there.

00:03:46.780 Do you know why?

00:03:47.980 Because that's not the fucking USB hole.

00:03:50.740 That's just a little indentation exactly where the USB hole would be on the other one.

00:03:55.540 That's right.

00:03:56.580 They have a fake USB hole on one of the two places it could be.

00:04:01.500 They hate you.

00:04:02.980 Whoever made these, they hate you.

00:04:05.060 All right.

00:04:06.560 So, this is the real USB hole right here.

00:04:08.940 Now, you notice how it's made so that if you don't get it exactly in the hole on the first try,

00:04:16.860 it'll just...

00:04:18.940 It doesn't guide you into the hole.

00:04:22.360 And make sure that if you don't hit it on the first try, it doesn't go in.

00:04:30.200 All right.

00:04:30.740 But let's say you were more careful and you could find it.

00:04:35.600 Then, here's how you get it in.

00:04:37.240 And yet, remember, you have to get it in right side up.

00:04:40.100 So, here it is sliding right into the hole.

00:04:46.160 Okay.

00:04:46.800 So, it doesn't go in this way.

00:04:48.900 So, if it doesn't go in this way, obviously, it's the other way.

00:04:52.640 So, you turn it upside down and then you put it into the hole.

00:04:55.900 Okay.

00:04:58.140 It doesn't go into the hole the other way because it turns out that the first way was the correct way.

00:05:03.220 But because the stupid device is so poorly designed, you can't even tell if it's the right way.

00:05:09.320 So, you turn it back to the way that it wasn't working and you say, why isn't it going into the fucking hole?

00:05:15.240 And then you get it in there.

00:05:19.380 And then, by the time you use your device, you hate it.

00:05:23.760 You hate this thing.

00:05:25.120 So, how about the simultaneous sip?

00:05:34.240 I don't know.

00:05:34.900 Maybe it's just me complaining about this stuff.

00:05:37.240 But all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a gel, a syscine, a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:05:42.360 Filled with your favorite liquid.

00:05:44.720 I like coffee.

00:05:45.400 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dope being here today.

00:05:50.840 The thing that makes everything better except your micro USB connection.

00:05:55.300 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:05:57.560 And it happens now.

00:05:58.440 Go.

00:06:02.660 Oh, yeah.

00:06:05.540 That's good.

00:06:08.220 I saw a tweet that said the one thing that...

00:06:12.400 This is from Jason Mouk on Twitter.

00:06:16.360 He talks about being literate in the future.

00:06:18.460 It isn't going to be just reading and writing.

00:06:21.080 But because AI and robots and stuff will be taking over everything,

00:06:25.360 we also need to teach kids things that kids can do that, you know, maybe robots and AI can't do.

00:06:32.920 And the example given would be, you know, an eight-year-old can Google something and a robot can plow.

00:06:39.560 But what AI can do is arrange living symphonies.

00:06:45.260 That's why AI can't do it.

00:06:46.880 It can't arrange a living symphony.

00:06:49.560 But you know what it can do?

00:06:51.760 It hasn't done it yet.

00:06:53.740 But do you know what AI can do?

00:06:56.080 It can make music that you would like a lot better than a living symphony made by humans.

00:07:01.220 Like a lot better.

00:07:02.400 So, at the moment, AI can't write music that you would like to listen to.

00:07:09.360 In the long run, it's all going to be AI.

00:07:13.120 It's all going to be AI.

00:07:14.660 Because once AI is better, and it will be better, because it can A-B test parts of a song, sounds.

00:07:21.980 It can A-B test a chord.

00:07:24.440 It can A-B test like one chord.

00:07:26.100 Put it out to a million people and say, how do you like this chord?

00:07:31.140 And if not, people say yes, well, we'll put some of this in the song.

00:07:34.580 How do you like this lyric?

00:07:36.860 All right?

00:07:37.220 A lot of people like this one, don't like this one.

00:07:39.000 We'll put the good one in there.

00:07:40.680 AI could build a song that would be the number one song in the world, period.

00:07:44.800 It would make you tingle.

00:07:46.660 It would just reprogram your brain.

00:07:49.220 That's how good AI will be, to make music.

00:07:53.200 So, I wouldn't assume that music is the safe place.

00:07:57.300 How about fine art?

00:07:59.580 Do you think an AI will be able to make a painting that would be as awesome as our best human painters?

00:08:06.380 Well, it can't do anything like that now.

00:08:09.840 But it will.

00:08:11.360 It will.

00:08:12.840 Yeah.

00:08:13.740 AI will look at all the great paintings.

00:08:16.660 It'll test all the components of it.

00:08:19.220 It'll break you down and figure out what parts of it make it interesting to people.

00:08:23.640 And then it will make paintings that are way better than what a person can make.

00:08:27.580 If you were to buy a human painting, it would only be because of the novelty.

00:08:31.760 That, oh, look, a human did pretty good on this one.

00:08:34.460 Pretty good.

00:08:35.180 Not as good as the AI, obviously.

00:08:37.700 But it's pretty good for a human.

00:08:38.900 You know, the same way we're impressed by cave wall carvings.

00:08:45.600 Anyway.

00:08:46.120 The continued emasculation of Vice President Harris's husband is ongoing.

00:08:54.360 I saw this tweet by Katie Rogers.

00:08:59.680 She tweets, at a French cookware store.

00:09:02.780 I guess the VP is in France.

00:09:08.780 So at a French cookware store, the VP says the second gentleman, her husband, learned how to cook during COVID.

00:09:14.500 Quote, I guess the husband said, she taught me during COVID, out of necessity, after I almost burned down the apartment, he adds.

00:09:26.620 How does that make you feel?

00:09:28.080 Now, here's what I like and don't like about it.

00:09:33.020 On one hand, I do like the fact that she's flipping the gender roles.

00:09:42.140 I kind of like that.

00:09:43.420 I mean, anything that just shakes you up and makes you uncomfortable, I usually like.

00:09:48.540 If it makes you uncomfortable, I probably like it.

00:09:52.380 So the fact that she's very conspicuously becoming the, I'll use this in the traditional historic sense.

00:10:00.960 In the historic sense, she's become the man of the family.

00:10:04.560 She literally wears the pants.

00:10:07.760 Literally wears the pants.

00:10:09.720 And the suit, and the husband stays home and takes care of the house, and apparently he's cooking now.

00:10:16.780 I had to add to that tweet by saying, sadly, the French cookware store did not carry the French maid uniform the VP ordered the second gentleman to wear around the house.

00:10:27.520 I don't know how much worse the emasculation can get, but I think it's coming to this.

00:10:33.260 I think he'll actually be wearing some kind of a French maid outfit around the house as he's dusting.

00:10:38.600 Looking forward to that.

00:10:43.760 But let me also say, I don't really care.

00:10:47.900 It doesn't bother me what nature of the relationship is in their family.

00:10:53.280 That's purely their business.

00:10:55.380 It's just interesting that they're flipping the gender roles.

00:10:59.980 All right, here's a horrible story.

00:11:03.560 So there was an astronaut that went up on Blue Origin's flight with Bezos.

00:11:08.600 So this was just a month ago.

00:11:10.620 A guy, you know, a private citizen gets to go on a rocket ship into space.

00:11:15.500 And that turned out well.

00:11:17.300 And then a month later, he dies in a private plane.

00:11:21.020 He died in a Cessna 172 with some other people.

00:11:25.600 They don't know the cause of the problem yet.

00:11:28.900 But I'll tell you a little bit that I know about aviation.

00:11:32.580 Because, as you know, my wife is a pilot.

00:11:36.240 And the aircraft that he died in is the exact one she spends most of her time in.

00:11:43.480 It's a Cessna 172.

00:11:45.620 Which is, I think the Cessna 172 is like the most common small aircraft.

00:11:51.200 There are a lot of them.

00:11:51.880 But here's what you need to know about the Cessna 172.

00:11:56.400 Again, I'm just sort of talking based on stuff I've heard being around pilot talk.

00:12:02.760 If you're flying that kind of an aircraft, you usually want to hang around somewhere where there's a road.

00:12:10.360 Have you ever heard that?

00:12:11.880 You want to make sure that you can see a sizable street from wherever you're flying.

00:12:17.660 And the reason is, if you have a mechanical difficulty, you still have a pretty good glide path.

00:12:23.500 And so you could at least glide onto a street, which wouldn't be clean, but it's better than a forest.

00:12:30.220 So the fact that he went down in a wooded area probably limits the possible problems to the following.

00:12:40.040 Yeah, I know where you're going with this.

00:12:43.860 Some of you are pilots, so you're ahead of me already.

00:12:47.660 So probably, so one of two problems.

00:12:50.600 One is he, or the pilot, diverted from where they could see a street.

00:12:56.060 So once they had mechanical problems, maybe they didn't have any option of any place to land.

00:13:00.760 So that would have been maybe a pilot error if that happened.

00:13:06.080 Because it is, I think it's pretty basic to keep a road in view.

00:13:12.300 All right, if somebody's a pilot, could you fact check me on that?

00:13:15.060 Is it pretty basic to make sure that you can see a street?

00:13:18.800 Give me a fact check on that.

00:13:20.100 I know there's some pilots watching this.

00:13:22.320 So I think it is.

00:13:23.520 So I would rule out mechanical difficulty.

00:13:27.180 I'll also tell you that in these small aircraft, the number of times they have mechanical difficulty in the air is shockingly high.

00:13:36.800 Shockingly high.

00:13:37.520 The number of times they get 5,000 feet in the air and the engine starts sputtering, it's way more than you think.

00:13:46.600 But experienced pilots almost always can overcome the minor problems.

00:13:52.940 The number one reason that small aircraft crash is, anybody?

00:13:57.840 What's the number one reason that small aircraft crash?

00:14:01.840 Well, pilot error, yes, but I want to be more specific.

00:14:06.180 Yeah, it's pilot error, but specifically pilot error.

00:14:10.820 The answer is people who accidentally go from VFR to IFR.

00:14:15.880 So VFR means visual flying, meaning you can see well.

00:14:19.820 So you can fly fine because you've got lots of visibility.

00:14:23.060 IFR means that suddenly there might have been a cloud cover that they misjudged.

00:14:28.220 And if you get in the clouds, the 172 might have, I think it has, the ability to fly IFR, meaning you could fly instruments, but only if you were good at it.

00:14:40.520 Only if you were good at it, right?

00:14:42.860 It's not good enough that the plane can fly IFR.

00:14:46.540 The pilot has to be able to fly it.

00:14:47.900 So there's, if I had to guess, and this is just pure speculation, if I had to guess, I would say the most likely situation is there was some cloud cover, but we haven't heard about that.

00:15:01.780 So wait to hear.

00:15:03.080 Yeah, John F. Kennedy Jr., perfect example, yes.

00:15:05.860 And pilots are so afraid of that situation, going from VFR to instrument, you know, low visibility, that I think even some of the people who teach how to fly on instruments have never flown in clouds.

00:15:24.440 Let me say that again.

00:15:25.600 The people who teach you how to fly in the clouds, some of them I don't think have ever flown in the clouds, because it's too dangerous, even if you know how.

00:15:36.960 That's how dangerous it is.

00:15:38.800 And you say, well, how do they learn to teach it if they've never flown in it?

00:15:42.460 They have something called foggles, a special kind of goggles that cover the top of your sight so you can only see the instruments.

00:15:51.100 So they practice with their vision obscured, you know, with a pilot who can see in the back, usually, or the front.

00:15:59.580 Anyway, that's your little aviation knowledge for the day.

00:16:03.980 I saw an excellent persuasive tweet that might not work the way the tweeter hoped.

00:16:09.260 You might be familiar with a doctor, Robert Malone.

00:16:13.340 I would put him in the category of contrarian doctors about the pandemic, specifically.

00:16:18.000 So he's one of these rogue contrarian doctors, one of the inventors of the mRNA technology, I guess.

00:16:25.680 So he's really highly qualified.

00:16:28.220 So that's the first thing you need to know.

00:16:30.060 If there were somebody you wanted to listen to, he'd be exactly the kind of credentials you'd want to look at.

00:16:36.620 So he has lots of differences about the pandemic from the mainstream stuff.

00:16:44.900 And he tweeted a picture of himself next to a picture of Big Bird, because Big Bird is being employed to persuade children to get vaccinated.

00:16:56.460 And then Robert Malone, MD, tweets of the pictures of his picture next to Big Bird.

00:17:03.340 He goes,

00:17:03.640 Alright, so who do you believe?

00:17:23.960 Do you believe the highly qualified doctor whose experience is exactly the kind of experience you'd want?

00:17:32.060 Or do you believe Big Bird?

00:17:34.540 Which one is more credible, Big Bird or a doctor with the exact credentials you'd want to see?

00:17:42.700 Here's the answer.

00:17:44.000 It's a tie.

00:17:45.860 It's a tie.

00:17:48.540 Do you know why?

00:17:49.620 Because what Dr. Malone offers is to show you well-sourced information, this is his own words,

00:17:57.640 and to help you be able to interpret it for yourself.

00:18:01.680 That's not a thing.

00:18:03.920 That's not a thing.

00:18:05.520 You can't show me your well-sourced information and expect me to interpret it correctly.

00:18:11.580 How the hell am I going to do that?

00:18:14.240 I can't do that.

00:18:16.160 So who am I going to believe?

00:18:17.180 If Big Bird, who is essentially a front character for the entire medical pharma community,

00:18:25.020 you know, let's say the majority, not entire,

00:18:27.200 versus the rogue doctor who is in the category of people who are usually wrong.

00:18:33.800 The rogue doctor is usually wrong.

00:18:37.460 Now, everything that changes starts with, you know, one person who's the rogue doctor,

00:18:44.620 and then eventually other people get persuaded.

00:18:46.980 But how often does that happen, versus how often the rogue doctor is just wrong?

00:18:53.280 I would say experientially, you know, without any science to back it,

00:18:57.840 I would say experientially the rogue doctor on any topic is wrong 95% of the time.

00:19:04.860 Wouldn't you say?

00:19:08.300 Does your experience give you a different result?

00:19:11.600 And it's only when they get it right that it's such a big story.

00:19:15.660 It's like, oh my God, the person who was the only lone voice got it right.

00:19:21.140 That's why you think it's a bigger deal than it is.

00:19:23.640 Because it's always a story if the lone outlier gets it right.

00:19:28.160 Do you remember in 2016, some of you remember,

00:19:31.680 that I predicted before most people that Trump would win in 2016?

00:19:38.640 Now, why is it that everybody heard of that?

00:19:41.720 Why is it that I was somewhat famous in America for that prediction?

00:19:47.140 I mean, I was invited on shows or articles written about it.

00:19:51.520 Why was I famous for that?

00:19:53.240 Because it was a rogue outlier opinion that was right.

00:19:59.620 It was rare.

00:20:02.360 The reason I got press is because it was so rare to be a contrarian and be right.

00:20:08.640 So anytime you see a contrarian, you can, you know,

00:20:12.060 I say you should give them full respect of listening to them,

00:20:15.620 especially if they have credentials that Dr. Malone has.

00:20:19.080 Those are serious credentials, right?

00:20:21.380 If you're going to ignore somebody with that kind of credentials,

00:20:25.080 well, do it at your risk.

00:20:26.660 I'm just saying that don't assume they're right.

00:20:29.900 The odds are way against it.

00:20:32.520 But they might be.

00:20:33.920 This could be the 5%.

00:20:35.700 You never know.

00:20:38.340 All right.

00:20:40.580 Newt Gingrich tweeted also about Kamala Harris.

00:20:44.660 He said,

00:20:45.560 Why is Kamala Harris in Paris, France, worrying about the Polish-Belarus border,

00:20:51.540 which is actually what's happening,

00:20:53.100 instead of being in Paris, Texas, worrying about the U.S.-Mexican border?

00:20:57.840 Did she misunderstand Biden when he made her in charge of the border?

00:21:02.360 And I said to myself,

00:21:06.080 You know, this is a suboptimal situation.

00:21:08.640 We've got these big problems in America,

00:21:10.380 and our vice president is in Europe.

00:21:13.280 That is suboptimal.

00:21:15.360 You know why it's suboptimal?

00:21:17.240 Because Europe isn't quite far enough.

00:21:20.380 If we could get the vice president entirely on the other side of the world,

00:21:25.000 I'd feel a little more comfortable.

00:21:26.320 Maybe if she would go up in one of those Blue Origin or Elon Musk flights,

00:21:32.340 get her off the earth entirely.

00:21:35.600 I'd feel a little more comfortable about that.

00:21:38.420 All right.

00:21:38.640 Here's some Gavin Newsom fake news.

00:21:41.300 Gavin Newsom, governor of New York.

00:21:43.120 There's a manipulated video that's really diabolical

00:21:46.320 that makes him look like he's smiling creepily when he's talking.

00:21:51.640 So somehow, I guess the technology exists now

00:21:54.600 that you can manipulate somebody's mouth on a video.

00:22:00.440 I mean, we had that capability for a long time,

00:22:02.820 but it looks like maybe it's easy to do now.

00:22:05.700 And so the governor is talking,

00:22:08.320 but he's got sort of a crazy joker mouth,

00:22:11.400 and it's really creepy.

00:22:14.380 Now, I don't know how anybody could think that was real.

00:22:18.500 Right?

00:22:19.200 It didn't look real to me,

00:22:21.240 but apparently some people did.

00:22:24.600 So that's the first Newsom fake news.

00:22:30.740 All right.

00:22:32.520 Do you know the author and investment advisor,

00:22:37.820 Robert Kiyosaki?

00:22:41.820 I think he wrote Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

00:22:45.120 Fairly famous for financial advice.

00:22:47.260 And I saw a tweet by Dr. Parikh Patel,

00:22:52.220 who's got lots of financial qualifications, it looks like.

00:22:55.540 And he showed a graph showing the stock market,

00:22:59.540 and, you know, it's climbed for years and years,

00:23:02.460 with Robert Kiyosaki's predictions

00:23:07.820 that it was going to crash.

00:23:09.220 Oh, it's going to crash.

00:23:10.880 It's going to crash.

00:23:12.540 Totally going to crash.

00:23:14.240 Oh, it's going to crash.

00:23:15.600 You're going to be so sorry when it crashes.

00:23:18.000 And apparently he hasn't been right yet,

00:23:19.820 at least in the long term.

00:23:22.180 He hasn't been right.

00:23:23.620 But here's what I say about this.

00:23:25.400 Number one, investment advice

00:23:29.400 is basically horoscopes with math.

00:23:34.980 Would you put your money into an investment

00:23:38.560 based on a horoscope?

00:23:41.240 No.

00:23:42.640 Well, don't put your money on anything

00:23:44.420 based on investment advice either,

00:23:46.060 because they're just horoscopes with math.

00:23:48.140 Nobody knows what's happening in the future.

00:23:51.120 Nobody understands the future.

00:23:53.260 Nobody.

00:23:53.600 There's no investment advisor who knows the future.

00:23:57.880 The only thing you can do is diversify.

00:24:00.700 And if you have enough money,

00:24:01.920 you might, you know,

00:24:02.640 take some risky bets on a few things,

00:24:05.320 you know, like high-tech things.

00:24:07.560 But I just gave you all the investment advice

00:24:10.340 you'll ever need.

00:24:11.720 You know, it could be like one page.

00:24:13.780 That's it.

00:24:15.180 Diversify, you know,

00:24:16.100 get the Fortune 500 index.

00:24:19.780 And that's 90% of what you need right there.

00:24:25.000 So, but let me say what Robert Kiyosaki

00:24:30.720 is doing wisely.

00:24:33.500 If a big crash doesn't come,

00:24:35.660 is anybody going to say,

00:24:37.460 oh, you got that wrong?

00:24:39.000 Or is he just going to say,

00:24:40.980 well, it hasn't happened yet.

00:24:42.260 What's going to happen?

00:24:42.940 So being wrong about a crash

00:24:45.100 generally doesn't hurt you.

00:24:47.620 Right?

00:24:48.760 You predict a crash,

00:24:49.820 it doesn't happen.

00:24:51.080 You can always say it's going to happen.

00:24:52.780 Well, it just hasn't happened yet.

00:24:54.000 Or you can say,

00:24:54.900 oh, we got lucky.

00:24:55.620 This is not good.

00:24:56.980 But if he gets it right,

00:25:00.160 he will be called out

00:25:01.540 the same way I got it right with Trump.

00:25:04.440 If I'd got my Trump prediction wrong in 2016,

00:25:08.500 I would just go on with life.

00:25:10.740 I'd say, well, got that one wrong.

00:25:12.660 Just go on with life.

00:25:14.320 But if you get it right,

00:25:15.380 it changes your life.

00:25:17.360 So Kiyosaki is playing the odds really well

00:25:21.640 because the odds of a big stock market crash

00:25:25.140 eventually are pretty good.

00:25:27.960 So he'll probably get one right

00:25:29.640 and get a lot of attention for it.

00:25:32.820 Might be a good thing.

00:25:34.140 At least in terms of publicity,

00:25:35.700 a good thing.

00:25:39.680 So here's a story on CNN

00:25:42.040 that's just sort of state of the world.

00:25:45.540 So apparently there was a white student

00:25:48.400 in a school,

00:25:49.260 it doesn't matter where,

00:25:50.060 somewhere in America,

00:25:51.160 and he made what is being described

00:25:53.020 as a racist video.

00:25:55.140 Now, I don't know the details

00:25:56.720 of the racist video,

00:25:58.140 so I don't know if you and I saw it,

00:25:59.700 we'd think it was racist,

00:26:01.140 but CNN says it's racist.

00:26:02.780 So let's take that assumption

00:26:04.360 and go with it.

00:26:06.300 Anyway, a black student

00:26:07.540 approached that white student

00:26:08.760 who had made that allegedly racist video,

00:26:10.960 and a physical altercation occurred,

00:26:13.440 and the white student was injured

00:26:14.780 and needed to be treated for head injuries.

00:26:17.300 Now, I don't know how bad the head injuries were,

00:26:21.540 but if it's like a concussion,

00:26:23.360 it's a brain injury.

00:26:25.940 So is it a head injury,

00:26:27.160 like, you know, he's got a bleeding head,

00:26:28.760 or is it a brain injury,

00:26:30.080 which would be a lot worse?

00:26:30.940 I don't know,

00:26:31.960 but it's worrisome.

00:26:34.040 But anyway, the students,

00:26:35.100 they called for a walkout,

00:26:36.740 and here's what they demanded.

00:26:37.800 They wanted disciplinary action

00:26:39.920 against the white student,

00:26:41.800 and no disciplinary action

00:26:44.520 for the black student

00:26:45.560 who caused the head injury

00:26:48.240 with this altercation.

00:26:51.580 Does that sound about right to you?

00:26:54.400 Now, what we don't know

00:26:55.720 is which one of the students

00:26:56.980 started the fight.

00:26:58.800 So if the black student

00:27:00.320 simply addressed the white student

00:27:03.960 with verbal complaints,

00:27:06.040 and the white student started the fight,

00:27:08.900 well, then I'd agree, right?

00:27:10.640 You know, whoever started the fight

00:27:12.640 is to blame.

00:27:13.840 But if it worked the other way,

00:27:15.160 or they sort of both started the fight,

00:27:17.100 which, you know, with kids,

00:27:19.400 with kids, it's usually

00:27:20.440 they both started the fight,

00:27:21.740 wouldn't you say?

00:27:22.820 You know, there's words,

00:27:23.860 there's a touch, there's a push.

00:27:26.600 It usually escalates at the same time.

00:27:28.760 It's not like somebody walks up

00:27:29.960 and throws a punch.

00:27:31.000 Could happen.

00:27:31.920 I mean, maybe.

00:27:33.060 But probably they're both about equally.

00:27:36.040 Culpable.

00:27:37.020 And it feels to me,

00:27:38.580 without knowing the full details of this,

00:27:40.320 so I could be wrong

00:27:41.040 if I heard the context,

00:27:42.700 but it feels like

00:27:43.620 it's another example

00:27:44.480 of violence against white males

00:27:46.060 being acceptable.

00:27:47.720 Would you agree?

00:27:49.380 Now, I'm not defending

00:27:51.200 his racist alleged video.

00:27:54.060 I'm not saying that, obviously.

00:27:57.000 I'm saying that the way this is written,

00:27:58.980 and the student's reaction to it

00:28:01.400 feels like, you know,

00:28:03.820 one more little brick on that wall

00:28:06.060 of it's okay to hunt white males

00:28:10.440 and hurt them.

00:28:14.240 So here's some more Newsom fake news,

00:28:16.940 except this time it's not Gavin Newsom,

00:28:18.700 it's Hawk Newsom,

00:28:20.300 with an E on the end of Newsom.

00:28:21.900 What are the odds

00:28:23.380 that two people

00:28:24.500 whose last name

00:28:25.520 is actually

00:28:26.400 a combination of

00:28:27.960 some news

00:28:29.220 are always creating

00:28:31.640 some news?

00:28:33.160 Their last name

00:28:34.080 is actually Newsom.

00:28:36.080 Some news.

00:28:37.320 Hey, you want some news?

00:28:38.180 I got some about Hawk.

00:28:39.460 You want some more news?

00:28:41.120 Got some about Gavin.

00:28:43.100 How weird is that?

00:28:44.840 But anyway,

00:28:45.280 there was some fake news

00:28:46.040 about Hawk

00:28:46.620 that suggested

00:28:47.440 he was encouraging violence

00:28:50.480 should the new mayor,

00:28:53.780 Eric Adams Institute,

00:28:56.040 reintroduce the task force.

00:28:58.500 They had some kind

00:28:59.020 of a police task force

00:29:00.200 against gun violence.

00:29:01.980 And I guess it was disbanded,

00:29:03.440 and if he reintroduces it,

00:29:04.960 Hawk was saying

00:29:05.700 that there would be violence.

00:29:08.240 Now, the way it was reported

00:29:09.480 was that Hawk

00:29:12.080 was maybe encouraging violence

00:29:14.140 or in favor of it.

00:29:15.360 That actually didn't happen.

00:29:18.820 He predicted it.

00:29:21.160 Predicting violence

00:29:22.100 is perfectly acceptable.

00:29:24.700 Would you disagree?

00:29:26.500 I've predicted violence

00:29:28.000 lots of times.

00:29:29.680 Is there any problem

00:29:30.300 with predicting violence?

00:29:32.760 No.

00:29:33.860 So, while I don't

00:29:35.160 back Hawk Newsom

00:29:37.020 on a lot of things he says,

00:29:38.540 this was just fake news.

00:29:40.720 All right?

00:29:41.420 Now, I've told you before

00:29:43.840 that don't underestimate

00:29:46.460 Hawk Newsom's game.

00:29:50.720 He's really clever.

00:29:53.080 Right?

00:29:53.480 And what he did here

00:29:54.580 was walk right up

00:29:55.480 to the line

00:29:56.180 of saying something

00:29:57.040 that would have been inappropriate,

00:29:59.040 you know,

00:29:59.240 suggesting violence.

00:30:00.460 He walked up to the line,

00:30:01.780 but he didn't cross it.

00:30:03.440 But he probably is...

00:30:04.640 He is.

00:30:05.320 I'm not...

00:30:05.840 I'll take away the probably.

00:30:06.840 He is smart enough

00:30:08.340 to know

00:30:08.820 that phrasing it

00:30:10.420 exactly the way he did

00:30:11.440 would get the most attention

00:30:12.580 while still putting him

00:30:14.320 in a safe place,

00:30:15.360 which is...

00:30:15.920 He's not recommending violence.

00:30:17.480 He's just predicting it.

00:30:19.500 And it's pretty clever

00:30:21.060 because it worked.

00:30:22.960 So, every time

00:30:24.520 you think to yourself

00:30:25.500 that something

00:30:28.060 that Hawk Newsom's doing

00:30:29.120 doesn't make sense,

00:30:30.540 give it another thought

00:30:31.700 because he's operating

00:30:33.220 at a pretty sophisticated level

00:30:35.720 with persuasion.

00:30:36.500 All right.

00:30:40.240 David McDowell tweets,

00:30:42.120 and I agree,

00:30:44.420 that Biden and company

00:30:45.600 have intentionally driven up

00:30:46.960 the price of oil and fuel

00:30:48.040 by taking a hatchet job

00:30:50.760 to our energy economy.

00:30:54.140 They've intentionally,

00:30:55.300 and intentionally will be the word

00:30:56.660 that I'll question here in a moment,

00:30:58.520 they've intentionally created

00:30:59.880 hardships for Americans.

00:31:01.720 Only when energy prices are high

00:31:03.620 do these alternatives make sense.

00:31:05.200 So, in other words,

00:31:06.940 Dagan is saying

00:31:07.560 that the Biden administration

00:31:08.860 is making fossil fuels

00:31:10.360 too high priced

00:31:12.120 to make it easier

00:31:13.680 for the, you know,

00:31:14.780 the green stuff

00:31:15.620 to be economical.

00:31:18.200 Now, generally speaking,

00:31:20.240 and I say this often,

00:31:22.180 I reject

00:31:22.940 the mind-reading opinions,

00:31:24.980 which is you have to be

00:31:25.840 in the mind of the other person

00:31:27.100 to have that opinion.

00:31:29.360 But I don't know

00:31:30.360 that that applies here

00:31:31.600 because I think

00:31:33.520 they're saying it directly,

00:31:34.580 aren't they?

00:31:35.760 You know,

00:31:35.940 isn't the Biden administration

00:31:37.040 saying directly

00:31:38.160 that they want green energy

00:31:39.340 and that they want to,

00:31:40.340 they want to price

00:31:41.640 carbon fuels out?

00:31:44.680 I feel like

00:31:45.560 that's a direct message,

00:31:46.780 but they don't say it,

00:31:48.900 they don't package

00:31:49.940 their message

00:31:50.580 as succinctly

00:31:52.160 as Dagan McDowell did

00:31:54.060 by saying

00:31:55.780 they're basically

00:31:56.420 torturing the middle class

00:31:58.420 to get their,

00:32:00.960 let's say,

00:32:03.000 left-leaning agenda through,

00:32:04.580 which is more green energy.

00:32:06.460 That's what it looks like.

00:32:07.820 So I don't think

00:32:08.420 that was mind-reading at all.

00:32:09.420 I think that was right on.

00:32:11.820 Anyway,

00:32:12.760 Steve Bannon got indicted

00:32:14.020 for refusing

00:32:14.980 to testify to Congress.

00:32:19.620 What part of the,

00:32:20.640 I assume the Constitution

00:32:22.160 gives Congress this power.

00:32:24.940 Congress has the power

00:32:26.380 to demand

00:32:27.140 that you go in

00:32:27.900 and talk to them

00:32:29.640 in public?

00:32:32.480 Does anybody know

00:32:35.100 where that law

00:32:36.240 would exist?

00:32:37.480 Or is it a law,

00:32:38.260 is it a right

00:32:38.760 they gave themselves

00:32:39.540 by just voting for it?

00:32:42.340 If there's a

00:32:43.440 constitutional scholar here,

00:32:46.180 could somebody tell me?

00:32:50.820 Yeah,

00:32:51.480 I didn't think,

00:32:52.080 I didn't think Congress

00:32:53.180 had any police power,

00:32:54.260 right?

00:33:00.260 So I'm a little confused

00:33:01.920 about this story.

00:33:03.540 They have subpoena power,

00:33:05.260 but does subpoena power

00:33:06.480 give them power

00:33:07.380 to punish you

00:33:08.160 if you don't

00:33:09.020 obey the subpoena?

00:33:10.260 I don't know.

00:33:13.780 I'm very much

00:33:14.880 in favor of citizens

00:33:16.080 resisting this

00:33:17.840 because it looks like

00:33:19.360 a show trial

00:33:20.060 to me.

00:33:21.860 You know,

00:33:22.080 when Congress

00:33:22.880 does these things,

00:33:23.780 it doesn't look

00:33:24.660 like the point of it

00:33:25.780 is justice,

00:33:26.580 does it?

00:33:28.220 You know,

00:33:28.760 when people get subpoenaed

00:33:29.800 for the court system,

00:33:31.420 I say to myself,

00:33:32.800 well,

00:33:33.100 flaws and all,

00:33:33.940 at least it's part

00:33:34.580 of the justice process,

00:33:35.840 so that's okay.

00:33:37.780 But this is outside

00:33:38.900 of the justice process.

00:33:40.840 How do you do

00:33:41.340 a show trial

00:33:42.140 when you're not part

00:33:43.120 of the justice system?

00:33:46.000 Yeah,

00:33:46.500 I guess Eric Holder

00:33:47.540 also refused.

00:33:51.300 So this is kind

00:33:52.540 of an interesting case.

00:33:53.640 We'll see

00:33:53.920 if any penalty

00:33:55.660 happens to Bannon.

00:33:56.740 I guess you could get

00:33:57.420 30 days in jail

00:33:58.480 for doing this.

00:33:59.780 But I definitely

00:34:01.120 support him in this.

00:34:03.100 I would support him.

00:34:04.160 And it wouldn't matter

00:34:05.000 what his reason is.

00:34:06.740 So I don't care

00:34:07.500 what Bannon's reason is

00:34:09.000 for not wanting

00:34:09.820 to do it.

00:34:10.680 I feel like every citizen

00:34:12.060 should be able

00:34:12.620 to refuse this.

00:34:14.360 Who's with me?

00:34:16.360 I don't think

00:34:17.380 we should be able

00:34:17.900 to refuse talking

00:34:18.800 to the real police.

00:34:22.060 But I think

00:34:22.880 we should be able

00:34:23.660 to refuse this.

00:34:28.320 Yeah?

00:34:28.760 Okay.

00:34:29.040 I think most of you

00:34:29.820 agree on that.

00:34:33.620 There is a great

00:34:35.300 article by Andrew Sullivan

00:34:38.000 on Substack.

00:34:40.580 I tweeted it

00:34:41.360 so you can find

00:34:42.120 just you can tweet

00:34:43.180 Andrew Sullivan

00:34:43.840 and look for his articles

00:34:45.000 or my Twitter feed.

00:34:48.200 And here's how he tweeted

00:34:49.800 about his own

00:34:50.560 this is his sort of

00:34:52.640 summary of his own article.

00:34:54.520 He said,

00:34:55.060 2016 election.

00:34:56.660 So see what all these

00:34:57.600 have in common.

00:34:58.240 What do all these

00:34:59.360 have in common

00:34:59.900 before he tells you?

00:35:01.280 2016 election,

00:35:03.000 Rittenhouse,

00:35:04.200 Covington,

00:35:05.420 Russian collusion,

00:35:06.960 vaccines,

00:35:08.360 bounties on U.S.

00:35:09.380 soldiers,

00:35:10.540 lab leak theory,

00:35:12.500 Jussie Smollett,

00:35:14.460 the Pulse shooting,

00:35:16.140 the Atlanta shooting,

00:35:17.960 Hunter Biden laptop,

00:35:19.620 inflation,

00:35:20.780 and the Steele dossier.

00:35:21.720 What do they all have

00:35:23.540 in common?

00:35:26.200 Fake news?

00:35:27.240 Yes.

00:35:28.480 That's one thing

00:35:29.160 they have in common.

00:35:29.860 What's the second thing

00:35:30.860 they have in common?

00:35:32.420 One is that they're

00:35:33.240 all fake news.

00:35:34.560 What's the second thing

00:35:35.620 they have in common?

00:35:39.380 Somebody says it's

00:35:40.400 about white people.

00:35:41.840 Not quite.

00:35:42.960 It's not right.

00:35:44.000 It's not exactly

00:35:44.640 where I'm going.

00:35:45.160 It's conservative bashing.

00:35:49.060 That's correct.

00:35:49.860 Every one of these stories

00:35:51.040 favors the left's narratives.

00:35:53.760 Every one of them.

00:35:54.640 And he didn't even

00:35:55.320 have a complete list.

00:35:57.160 He didn't have

00:35:57.880 the fine people hoax

00:35:58.840 and he didn't have

00:35:59.400 the drinking bleach hoax.

00:36:01.160 I'm not sure

00:36:01.640 if he knows

00:36:02.060 they're hoaxes,

00:36:02.800 honestly,

00:36:03.360 because a lot of people

00:36:04.200 who are well informed

00:36:05.160 don't know

00:36:05.760 that these are hoaxes.

00:36:07.200 But I would have

00:36:07.940 put them on the list.

00:36:09.280 But every one of these

00:36:10.580 has the same pattern to it,

00:36:13.140 that it's a liberal narrative.

00:36:16.000 And it's so shockingly obvious

00:36:18.100 when you see him

00:36:19.080 lay out the entire context.

00:36:21.660 We do not live

00:36:22.920 in a country

00:36:23.500 with anything

00:36:24.500 like a free press.

00:36:27.740 I mean,

00:36:28.680 technically it's free,

00:36:30.260 but the way it operates

00:36:31.420 is just as a captive

00:36:32.740 of the Democrats.

00:36:35.220 All right.

00:36:36.820 There was a French study

00:36:38.320 that I saw

00:36:39.060 and then didn't get

00:36:39.880 much attention,

00:36:41.440 maybe because it disagrees

00:36:43.020 with the narrative.

00:36:43.840 You be the judge.

00:36:45.720 So I'm not going to say

00:36:46.480 this study is necessarily

00:36:47.900 highly credible,

00:36:50.340 but it's worth noting.

00:36:52.040 So the French study

00:36:52.960 says long COVID,

00:36:54.720 the idea that

00:36:55.500 even after you recover

00:36:56.500 from COVID,

00:36:57.660 there would be symptoms

00:36:58.420 that are ongoing,

00:36:59.840 are all in your head.

00:37:04.000 Now,

00:37:04.760 that was always

00:37:06.020 a possibility, right?

00:37:08.000 We've seen the reports

00:37:09.120 that up to half

00:37:10.500 of the people

00:37:11.060 might have long COVID,

00:37:12.760 you know,

00:37:13.000 at least 25%,

00:37:14.180 but up to half.

00:37:15.500 Now,

00:37:15.780 from day one,

00:37:17.600 have I not told you

00:37:18.560 from day one,

00:37:19.920 it could be

00:37:20.960 all in people's heads.

00:37:22.840 This is exactly

00:37:23.820 what that would look like.

00:37:25.440 All right.

00:37:26.220 If it were real

00:37:27.280 or it were not real,

00:37:28.560 it would look

00:37:29.040 exactly like this.

00:37:30.600 Whether it was real

00:37:31.580 or not real,

00:37:32.260 it would look

00:37:32.800 exactly like this.

00:37:34.340 So you can't really tell

00:37:35.560 based on all the reports

00:37:37.640 and facts

00:37:38.400 and you can't tell

00:37:39.620 by asking people.

00:37:41.580 So if you ask people,

00:37:42.900 hey,

00:37:43.220 did you have any symptoms?

00:37:44.520 They'll say yes.

00:37:46.180 But you don't know

00:37:47.240 if they're accurate.

00:37:48.900 That's the problem.

00:37:50.280 So this new study

00:37:51.220 did something clever

00:37:52.240 in which,

00:37:54.560 I'm not sure

00:37:55.200 I totally understand it,

00:37:56.300 but they found a way

00:37:57.900 to do a control,

00:37:59.900 allegedly.

00:38:01.720 So let me tell you

00:38:02.700 what they did.

00:38:03.080 They had a huge pile

00:38:06.240 of people

00:38:06.600 that they were looking at

00:38:07.500 but only 1,000 of them

00:38:09.560 they ended up

00:38:10.240 looking at closely

00:38:11.300 because there were 1,000

00:38:12.860 who actually tested positive

00:38:14.740 and out of the 1,000

00:38:16.240 who tested positive

00:38:17.160 for COVID,

00:38:18.320 about 450 believed

00:38:20.040 they had the virus.

00:38:22.180 So half of the people

00:38:23.360 who didn't,

00:38:24.060 more than half,

00:38:26.560 didn't even know

00:38:27.180 they had the virus.

00:38:28.620 Now you ask the people

00:38:29.760 who definitely had the virus

00:38:31.040 and knew it

00:38:31.640 if they had symptoms

00:38:33.460 and then you ask the people

00:38:35.260 who didn't know it

00:38:35.940 if they had symptoms

00:38:36.640 and apparently

00:38:37.220 there's a difference.

00:38:38.860 But anyway,

00:38:39.640 I'm doing a terrible job

00:38:41.940 of explaining this

00:38:42.780 so if it sounds like

00:38:43.760 a bad study,

00:38:45.980 that has more to do

00:38:46.940 with the way

00:38:47.320 I'm explaining it,

00:38:48.180 I think.

00:38:49.280 But anyway,

00:38:49.960 they concluded

00:38:50.500 that the persistent

00:38:51.340 physical symptoms

00:38:52.440 quote,

00:38:53.440 may be associated

00:38:54.420 more with the belief

00:38:55.480 in having been infected.

00:38:58.220 So in other words,

00:38:59.260 if you thought

00:39:00.080 you had been infected

00:39:01.000 but you hadn't,

00:39:02.940 you have the same rate

00:39:03.960 of long COVID

00:39:04.780 as the people

00:39:05.580 who have been infected.

00:39:08.680 I think that's

00:39:09.580 what it's saying,

00:39:10.660 right?

00:39:11.560 Let me say that again.

00:39:12.680 If you thought

00:39:14.080 you had COVID

00:39:14.720 but you didn't,

00:39:16.640 you have the same experience

00:39:18.020 of long COVID,

00:39:19.000 you report the same symptoms

00:39:20.340 as people who actually

00:39:21.740 had the thing,

00:39:23.000 which would suggest

00:39:24.300 there's no such thing

00:39:25.640 as long COVID.

00:39:26.320 I'm not convinced

00:39:29.980 and I'm not convinced

00:39:31.720 for the wrong reason.

00:39:33.640 Here's the worst reason

00:39:34.780 to not be convinced.

00:39:36.980 Anecdotal evidence.

00:39:38.840 I know two people

00:39:40.020 whose experience

00:39:42.300 with long COVID

00:39:43.140 as they describe it

00:39:44.720 doesn't sound like

00:39:46.620 something that could be

00:39:47.320 in your head.

00:39:48.180 I mean,

00:39:48.400 it's just too dramatic.

00:39:49.980 It's like way bigger

00:39:50.900 than something

00:39:51.400 that would be in your head.

00:39:52.800 But,

00:39:53.300 and also I believe

00:39:54.340 that they found

00:39:54.900 differences in the lungs

00:39:56.120 long after you recovered.

00:39:58.960 So,

00:39:59.580 I'm still on the side

00:40:01.040 that says long COVID

00:40:02.200 is probably something.

00:40:05.060 But it might be

00:40:05.840 a lot smaller

00:40:06.500 than we think.

00:40:07.960 But probably something.

00:40:11.660 Yeah.

00:40:12.320 So,

00:40:12.600 Dr. Drew

00:40:13.400 is one who had

00:40:14.400 symptoms

00:40:15.280 that it would be hard

00:40:17.060 to imagine

00:40:17.620 that those were imaginary.

00:40:19.520 Because they were

00:40:20.160 pretty dramatic.

00:40:23.040 You can think,

00:40:24.120 if the only problem

00:40:25.140 was,

00:40:25.560 oh,

00:40:25.760 I had more headaches

00:40:26.660 or something,

00:40:27.300 you'd say,

00:40:27.720 eh,

00:40:27.980 did you?

00:40:28.920 I mean,

00:40:29.240 are you keeping

00:40:29.800 track of your headaches?

00:40:31.380 You really know

00:40:32.180 you had more headaches?

00:40:33.480 You know,

00:40:33.620 that would be suspicious.

00:40:34.980 But the types of symptoms

00:40:36.160 are pretty dramatic.

00:40:37.540 I don't think that,

00:40:39.160 I would be surprised

00:40:40.060 if they were imaginary.

00:40:41.680 Anyway,

00:40:42.000 what is the main theme

00:40:45.540 of Democrats

00:40:46.920 and the left?

00:40:48.500 I think it's child abuse.

00:40:50.940 And look at this list.

00:40:52.920 Climate alarmism.

00:40:54.040 Would you agree

00:40:56.460 that the children

00:40:57.220 are being taught

00:40:58.180 climate alarmism?

00:41:00.660 And would you also agree

00:41:01.660 that the kids

00:41:02.420 can't do anything

00:41:03.220 about climate change?

00:41:05.680 I mean,

00:41:06.200 you know,

00:41:06.500 Greta can complain,

00:41:07.600 but basically,

00:41:08.680 children in general,

00:41:10.800 they can't do anything

00:41:11.780 except

00:41:12.840 influence their parents.

00:41:18.180 That's the play, right?

00:41:20.000 Isn't the play

00:41:20.900 to influence their parents?

00:41:22.080 So we now have

00:41:25.600 a pretty strong

00:41:27.180 medical indication

00:41:28.260 that anxiety

00:41:29.940 is being,

00:41:31.600 you know,

00:41:33.180 definitely kicked up

00:41:34.420 because of climate alarm.

00:41:36.720 All right,

00:41:36.880 would you agree

00:41:37.460 with the following assertion?

00:41:39.500 We do know

00:41:40.500 that kids are getting

00:41:41.580 really scared

00:41:42.420 and anxious

00:41:42.880 about climate change.

00:41:44.640 Okay,

00:41:44.860 I think we all agree

00:41:45.940 that that's true.

00:41:47.040 We also know

00:41:47.940 that anxiety

00:41:48.620 is very strongly correlated

00:41:51.060 with bad health outcomes.

00:41:53.820 So does climate change

00:41:55.320 alarmism

00:41:56.000 cause children

00:41:57.360 to be less healthy?

00:41:59.620 Yes.

00:42:00.600 Yeah,

00:42:00.860 I mean,

00:42:01.080 it's pretty clear.

00:42:02.620 Unless,

00:42:03.600 I guess the only caveat

00:42:05.180 would be

00:42:05.720 if adults

00:42:07.020 are more sensitive

00:42:07.940 to anxiety

00:42:08.640 or something.

00:42:09.340 Maybe kids

00:42:09.800 are more resilient.

00:42:11.020 I doubt it.

00:42:12.160 But, I mean,

00:42:12.780 you could imagine it.

00:42:14.420 So,

00:42:15.300 climate change

00:42:15.980 is basically

00:42:16.620 child abuse

00:42:17.680 in the,

00:42:19.480 at least how it's

00:42:20.420 being presented

00:42:21.280 to children,

00:42:22.540 for some larger goal,

00:42:25.220 you know,

00:42:25.460 some goal of the left

00:42:26.540 to have more green energy,

00:42:28.480 I guess.

00:42:29.560 Critical race theory,

00:42:31.100 or let's not call it

00:42:32.460 by that name,

00:42:33.120 but the things

00:42:34.420 that are embedded

00:42:34.960 in curriculums,

00:42:36.420 does that not just

00:42:37.460 turn kids against each other?

00:42:39.200 It basically labels

00:42:40.640 some kids victims

00:42:41.640 and some kids oppressors.

00:42:43.620 How is that good

00:42:44.640 for kids?

00:42:45.880 That feels like

00:42:46.560 child abuse,

00:42:47.240 doesn't it?

00:42:48.540 To sort them

00:42:50.380 into abusers

00:42:51.260 and abused.

00:42:52.840 I think it's child abuse.

00:42:54.560 How about

00:42:54.820 lack of school choice?

00:42:56.820 If you wanted

00:42:57.720 your kid to get

00:42:58.440 out of the cesspool

00:42:59.440 of public school,

00:43:00.520 you couldn't do it.

00:43:02.000 You know,

00:43:02.260 unless you had

00:43:02.760 a lot of money.

00:43:04.240 So, that feels like

00:43:05.300 some kind of

00:43:06.700 child abuse.

00:43:08.800 How about

00:43:09.160 forced vaccinations

00:43:10.440 for kids

00:43:11.180 that have almost

00:43:11.780 no chance

00:43:12.400 of having a problem

00:43:13.180 with COVID?

00:43:14.800 But we're going

00:43:15.440 to vaccinate

00:43:16.300 those kids

00:43:16.900 to keep adults safe.

00:43:19.320 It's child abuse.

00:43:20.740 It's child abuse

00:43:21.740 for the benefit

00:43:23.620 of adults.

00:43:26.080 How about

00:43:26.940 social media?

00:43:29.680 We allow

00:43:30.580 children to use

00:43:31.520 social media,

00:43:32.240 which I'm opposed to.

00:43:33.440 I don't think

00:43:33.900 children should be

00:43:34.520 allowed to use

00:43:35.040 social media

00:43:35.600 because it's damaging.

00:43:37.700 It's obviously damaging.

00:43:40.640 It couldn't be

00:43:41.480 more obvious.

00:43:42.840 I'm not even sure

00:43:43.740 adults should use

00:43:44.880 social media,

00:43:46.180 but at least we get

00:43:46.900 to make adult choices.

00:43:49.060 Kids don't make

00:43:49.720 adult choices.

00:43:51.500 You're giving,

00:43:52.280 basically,

00:43:52.820 you're feeding

00:43:53.140 cocaine to children.

00:43:55.300 That's what it is.

00:43:56.160 It's like giving

00:43:56.600 them cocaine.

00:43:58.200 So,

00:43:58.800 that's child abuse.

00:44:00.940 How about

00:44:01.680 the Rittenhauer

00:44:03.080 prosecution?

00:44:03.700 It was a 17-year-old

00:44:06.900 who was being

00:44:08.420 made a scapegoat

00:44:09.820 to feed the

00:44:12.060 narratives that

00:44:12.840 white people are bad

00:44:13.760 and guns are bad

00:44:14.600 and whatever else.

00:44:16.200 And racism,

00:44:16.980 I guess,

00:44:17.240 even though there

00:44:17.680 was no race involved.

00:44:19.560 So,

00:44:20.120 you know,

00:44:20.480 you could argue

00:44:21.020 whether 17 at the

00:44:22.360 time of the crime,

00:44:23.480 he's 18 now,

00:44:24.620 or the alleged crime.

00:44:25.940 No crime.

00:44:26.420 No crime is,

00:44:27.520 no crime is in

00:44:29.020 evidence,

00:44:30.400 but it's an alleged

00:44:31.060 crime.

00:44:31.360 That looks like

00:44:33.700 child abuse too.

00:44:36.100 So,

00:44:36.700 at what point

00:44:37.380 do we say

00:44:37.880 this pattern

00:44:38.480 is a little

00:44:38.940 too obvious?

00:44:41.000 Right?

00:44:41.620 Now,

00:44:41.900 I don't think

00:44:42.840 that there are

00:44:43.260 any people

00:44:44.920 on the left

00:44:45.420 saying,

00:44:45.800 you know what

00:44:46.200 we could do?

00:44:46.900 We could abuse

00:44:47.640 some children

00:44:48.120 and then we

00:44:49.140 get away with this.

00:44:50.300 But just like

00:44:51.300 follow the money

00:44:52.160 usually predicts,

00:44:54.320 follow the child abuse

00:44:55.640 seems to predict

00:44:56.640 wherever Democrats

00:44:57.860 are going to go.

00:44:59.320 If you said to yourself,

00:45:00.260 I don't know

00:45:00.640 how the Democrats

00:45:01.300 are going to respond

00:45:02.100 to some future

00:45:03.300 situation.

00:45:04.780 Just ask yourself,

00:45:05.980 what would be

00:45:06.360 the worst thing

00:45:07.020 for children?

00:45:08.100 And that will be it.

00:45:09.640 Is it bad

00:45:10.420 for children?

00:45:11.260 Yeah,

00:45:11.480 they'll do that.

00:45:13.500 I mean,

00:45:13.760 it's really consistent.

00:45:16.080 All right.

00:45:21.660 I love this tweet

00:45:23.240 from Michael Edwards

00:45:25.020 on Twitter.

00:45:25.780 So I got into

00:45:28.220 a conversation

00:45:29.360 with somebody

00:45:29.840 who said that

00:45:30.500 I'm a dumbass

00:45:31.560 for believing

00:45:32.780 that CRT

00:45:33.600 is taught

00:45:34.240 in schools

00:45:35.200 because CRT

00:45:36.600 is only a

00:45:37.480 college-level class

00:45:38.880 and man am I

00:45:40.360 an idiot

00:45:41.040 for thinking

00:45:42.160 that any of that

00:45:42.840 is in the public

00:45:43.600 school system.

00:45:46.120 Now,

00:45:46.960 this person

00:45:48.920 is a victim.

00:45:50.240 The person

00:45:50.920 who thinks

00:45:51.320 that CRT

00:45:51.980 is not being

00:45:52.760 taught in schools.

00:45:54.060 Every day

00:45:55.720 I wake up

00:45:56.380 and my social media

00:45:57.360 has at least

00:45:57.940 one example

00:45:58.700 of written

00:45:59.760 documentation

00:46:00.520 where clearly

00:46:01.420 the tenets,

00:46:03.580 you know,

00:46:03.800 the philosophy

00:46:04.700 of CRT

00:46:05.500 is embedded

00:46:06.020 in the curriculum.

00:46:07.100 It's in writing

00:46:07.880 in lots of

00:46:09.100 different places

00:46:09.740 and it's clear.

00:46:11.460 Right?

00:46:11.600 They don't use

00:46:12.100 the words

00:46:12.380 critical race theory.

00:46:13.440 They just

00:46:13.800 embed the concepts.

00:46:16.320 So somehow

00:46:17.280 the left

00:46:17.900 has convinced

00:46:18.560 a lot of morons

00:46:19.920 that just because

00:46:21.240 the name

00:46:21.740 critical race theory

00:46:22.700 isn't specifically

00:46:23.780 used when they

00:46:24.660 talk about

00:46:25.240 schools and

00:46:26.220 high schools

00:46:26.720 that somehow

00:46:28.200 that's meaningful.

00:46:30.360 It's not meaningful.

00:46:31.720 You're just using

00:46:32.280 a different word.

00:46:33.280 But listen to what

00:46:33.900 Michael Edwards

00:46:34.540 tweets and I love

00:46:35.660 this.

00:46:36.560 He goes,

00:46:38.880 if there,

00:46:42.720 so after this guy

00:46:44.740 said I was a

00:46:45.280 dumbass saying

00:46:45.860 there's none

00:46:46.340 of this is being

00:46:47.180 taught in schools,

00:46:48.420 Michael Edwards

00:46:48.940 tweets,

00:46:49.280 if there is

00:46:50.040 none in schools

00:46:50.920 then there's

00:46:52.040 no problem

00:46:52.540 banning teaching

00:46:53.300 it, right?

00:46:55.360 Why would you

00:46:56.180 be opposed

00:46:56.860 to banning

00:46:57.860 something that

00:46:59.380 isn't happening

00:46:59.960 anyway?

00:47:00.760 Can't we all

00:47:01.220 agree on that?

00:47:02.560 If critical race

00:47:03.760 theory is not

00:47:05.220 being taught

00:47:05.700 in schools

00:47:06.220 and that's

00:47:07.220 what the left

00:47:07.780 says,

00:47:09.360 then let's

00:47:09.980 just ban it

00:47:10.720 and everybody

00:47:11.740 wins.

00:47:12.900 The left

00:47:13.440 is irrelevant

00:47:14.820 because nothing

00:47:15.540 would happen.

00:47:16.600 You can't ban

00:47:17.280 something that's

00:47:17.820 not happening.

00:47:18.320 So big deal.

00:47:20.400 And the right

00:47:21.100 would be happy

00:47:21.620 to ban it.

00:47:22.500 So we've got

00:47:23.660 a deal, right?

00:47:25.480 We'll all just

00:47:26.180 ban it.

00:47:27.200 And the left

00:47:27.940 will say,

00:47:28.340 well,

00:47:28.540 nothing will

00:47:29.240 happen.

00:47:33.360 All right.

00:47:36.820 American courts

00:47:37.700 are saving the

00:47:38.680 day.

00:47:40.080 I am of the

00:47:41.500 opinion that

00:47:42.180 the only thing

00:47:42.900 that holds

00:47:43.300 America together

00:47:44.220 is the court

00:47:45.040 system and

00:47:46.280 that the court

00:47:46.780 system is the

00:47:47.840 jewel and the

00:47:49.140 crown of the

00:47:50.660 republic.

00:47:51.780 Everything else

00:47:52.640 in the republic

00:47:53.180 is a good

00:47:53.820 idea, but the

00:47:55.780 court system

00:47:56.520 is the one

00:47:57.620 that's got to

00:47:58.980 be working.

00:48:00.600 Now, it's full

00:48:01.440 of warts.

00:48:02.180 Of course, you

00:48:02.900 know, any big

00:48:03.460 system has

00:48:04.040 problems, but

00:48:05.520 it's the only

00:48:07.240 thing that'll

00:48:07.700 save us.

00:48:08.900 And I'll give

00:48:09.320 you a couple

00:48:10.000 of examples.

00:48:10.620 officials.

00:48:11.420 Apparently, the

00:48:12.180 Biden idea to

00:48:13.320 have OSHA

00:48:13.940 enforce vaccine

00:48:16.400 mandates got

00:48:17.960 stopped by the

00:48:19.120 I guess the

00:48:19.780 Fifth Circuit,

00:48:20.640 who said it

00:48:21.560 was just an

00:48:22.080 insanely over

00:48:23.140 broad mandate

00:48:23.980 that didn't

00:48:24.740 distinguish by

00:48:27.060 degree of

00:48:27.680 risk.

00:48:28.520 And it

00:48:28.820 doesn't make

00:48:29.260 sense for the

00:48:29.840 truck driver to

00:48:30.540 have the same

00:48:31.080 degree of risk if

00:48:32.920 he's all by

00:48:33.340 himself compared

00:48:34.140 to other types

00:48:35.340 of jobs.

00:48:35.720 So they

00:48:37.200 just said,

00:48:38.440 oh, this is

00:48:39.200 too far.

00:48:40.240 They stopped

00:48:40.660 it.

00:48:41.100 Now, I don't

00:48:41.400 know if that'll

00:48:41.880 last, but it's

00:48:43.180 stopped at the

00:48:43.940 moment.

00:48:45.120 Likewise, I think

00:48:45.940 the court system

00:48:46.680 is going to save

00:48:47.400 us from this

00:48:48.040 Rittenhauer

00:48:48.600 situation.

00:48:50.240 I think the

00:48:50.840 court is going

00:48:51.720 to find him

00:48:52.180 not guilty of

00:48:52.900 murder, and

00:48:54.160 even the

00:48:54.560 prosecution has

00:48:55.300 sort of given

00:48:55.760 up on their

00:48:56.240 murder case, and

00:48:57.520 they're introducing

00:48:58.160 lesser charges.

00:49:00.520 Does that seem

00:49:01.260 fair to you?

00:49:03.260 Can the

00:49:03.720 court halfway

00:49:05.300 through the

00:49:05.760 trial, or

00:49:06.280 even toward

00:49:06.640 the end of

00:49:07.060 the trial, can

00:49:08.080 the court just

00:49:08.620 say, oh, it's

00:49:09.640 not really this

00:49:10.220 charge, it's a

00:49:10.920 different charge?

00:49:13.000 Really?

00:49:14.660 Can they do

00:49:15.400 that?

00:49:15.620 Apparently they

00:49:16.140 can, because

00:49:17.180 it's being done.

00:49:18.200 It doesn't seem

00:49:19.020 like that would

00:49:19.600 be fair to

00:49:21.300 the charge, but

00:49:23.460 maybe it is, if

00:49:24.600 it speeds things

00:49:25.260 up, I don't

00:49:25.820 know.

00:49:26.980 But once the

00:49:29.520 prosecution has

00:49:30.460 admitted that

00:49:31.280 they don't have

00:49:31.860 a case, and

00:49:33.960 there were no

00:49:34.520 surprises, and

00:49:35.300 the trial, just

00:49:38.900 think about

00:49:39.280 this.

00:49:39.980 I don't

00:49:40.580 believe the

00:49:41.040 defense introduced

00:49:42.920 any kind of

00:49:43.660 surprises.

00:49:45.200 So everything

00:49:45.920 that was known

00:49:46.520 by the

00:49:46.860 prosecution was

00:49:48.580 known before the

00:49:49.400 trial is known

00:49:50.260 now, which is

00:49:51.740 how much evidence

00:49:52.420 they have, which

00:49:53.140 is not, of

00:49:54.520 murder anyway.

00:49:56.060 And I still

00:49:58.200 feel like the

00:49:58.980 prosecutor needs

00:49:59.840 to go to jail

00:50:00.440 for that.

00:50:00.880 What the

00:50:02.420 prosecutor did

00:50:03.560 to Kyle

00:50:05.460 Rittenhouse, it's

00:50:07.400 not a crime

00:50:08.080 technically, but

00:50:10.020 boy, does it

00:50:10.620 need to be.

00:50:11.620 I mean, at the

00:50:12.040 very least, you

00:50:12.740 need to be

00:50:13.120 disbarred.

00:50:14.120 I meant the

00:50:14.560 least.

00:50:15.660 But I don't

00:50:16.200 know that any

00:50:16.640 of that will

00:50:17.000 happen.

00:50:18.100 Still, I'm

00:50:18.880 glad that the

00:50:19.380 court system, I

00:50:20.160 think, will

00:50:20.840 keep Kyle

00:50:21.400 Rittenhouse from

00:50:22.040 the worst of the

00:50:23.280 potential outcomes.

00:50:24.220 I heard this

00:50:28.000 factoid that is

00:50:29.360 not confirmed

00:50:30.300 because it's

00:50:31.520 just in a tweet

00:50:32.200 from somebody I

00:50:32.860 don't know.

00:50:33.780 But can anybody

00:50:34.380 confirm that this

00:50:35.300 is true?

00:50:36.480 That we learned

00:50:37.440 just recently

00:50:38.980 that Rittenhouse's

00:50:40.060 dad, grandma,

00:50:41.160 aunt, uncle, and

00:50:42.060 cousins all live

00:50:42.800 in Kenosha?

00:50:44.560 Because a big

00:50:45.460 part of the

00:50:45.860 story is he

00:50:46.680 came to a town

00:50:47.900 that he wasn't

00:50:48.420 part of, and

00:50:50.380 he should have

00:50:50.860 just stayed

00:50:51.240 home.

00:50:51.760 It wasn't his

00:50:52.340 business.

00:50:54.220 So, I'm

00:50:55.880 seeing somebody

00:50:56.360 saying that his

00:50:56.940 dad does.

00:50:58.440 Let me explain

00:50:59.440 how a two

00:51:01.100 family, you

00:51:03.220 know, a two

00:51:03.760 parent situation

00:51:04.900 works when

00:51:05.500 they're separated

00:51:06.260 or divorced.

00:51:08.500 Rittenhouse has

00:51:09.260 two hometowns.

00:51:11.240 Am I wrong?

00:51:12.660 If his father's

00:51:13.740 in one town and

00:51:14.500 his mother's in

00:51:15.120 a neighboring

00:51:15.540 town, presumably

00:51:16.980 he spends a

00:51:17.820 lot of time in

00:51:18.420 both, he might

00:51:19.520 have a bed in

00:51:20.320 one and not in

00:51:21.060 the other.

00:51:22.400 But he has

00:51:22.980 two hometowns.

00:51:24.220 You know, the

00:51:25.620 town that you

00:51:26.120 spend your time

00:51:27.300 with, with your

00:51:28.000 father, who

00:51:30.200 lives there, is

00:51:31.540 kind of your

00:51:32.100 hometown, too.

00:51:34.080 So, and he

00:51:35.100 only was 20

00:51:35.740 minutes away.

00:51:36.800 So, all of this

00:51:37.760 business about

00:51:38.440 crossing state

00:51:39.300 lines is just

00:51:41.720 bullshit.

00:51:42.800 It's just

00:51:43.220 bullshit.

00:51:44.800 So, it was

00:51:47.040 bullshit before I

00:51:49.700 knew that he had

00:51:50.340 a reason to be

00:51:51.040 there.

00:51:51.280 That was his

00:51:52.220 hometown he was

00:51:53.280 protecting.

00:51:53.980 He was

00:51:54.180 protecting his

00:51:54.780 father's town,

00:51:56.080 you could say

00:51:56.500 that.

00:51:57.440 Oh, and

00:51:57.760 somebody says he

00:51:58.300 works in

00:51:58.760 Kenosha.

00:51:59.620 Yeah, Kenosha

00:52:00.760 is pretty much

00:52:01.280 his town.

00:52:02.880 All right.

00:52:04.120 The funniest

00:52:04.900 thing that came

00:52:05.720 out of this is

00:52:06.600 there's some

00:52:07.400 photos of some

00:52:09.080 part of the

00:52:09.460 trial where it

00:52:10.240 looks like the

00:52:11.000 judge was

00:52:12.840 sitting at maybe

00:52:13.660 the defendant's

00:52:15.840 table to look

00:52:16.580 at some, I

00:52:17.940 don't know,

00:52:18.100 documents or a

00:52:19.280 video or something.

00:52:20.040 And Kyle

00:52:21.040 Rittenhouse, not

00:52:22.560 handcuffed, is

00:52:23.920 leaning over the

00:52:24.840 judge's shoulder,

00:52:26.520 not handcuffed,

00:52:28.220 leaning over the

00:52:29.060 judge's shoulder,

00:52:30.020 looking at stuff

00:52:30.740 with him, and

00:52:31.740 nobody in the

00:52:32.480 courtroom is the

00:52:34.000 least bit worried

00:52:35.480 that Kyle would be

00:52:37.160 dangerous.

00:52:38.240 He's being accused

00:52:39.620 of double murder,

00:52:41.780 and nobody in the

00:52:43.340 courtroom, even the

00:52:45.040 bailiff, isn't

00:52:45.680 anywhere near him.

00:52:47.660 The bailiff's on

00:52:48.960 the other side of

00:52:49.540 the room, and an

00:52:50.900 unhandcuffed guy

00:52:52.840 charged with double

00:52:53.680 murder is just

00:52:54.500 looking over the

00:52:55.100 shoulder of the

00:52:55.660 judge, and

00:52:56.600 nobody's concerned.

00:52:59.140 Nobody's concerned.

00:53:00.840 Because there's

00:53:01.580 nobody there who

00:53:02.460 thinks he's a

00:53:03.020 murderer.

00:53:04.780 Not the defense,

00:53:06.480 not the prosecution,

00:53:08.140 not anybody.

00:53:12.760 I'm hearing in the

00:53:14.160 comments that

00:53:14.640 Robert Barnes might

00:53:15.520 think there's more

00:53:16.220 risk for Rittenhouse

00:53:17.420 because the defense

00:53:18.280 didn't do a good

00:53:18.920 job or something.

00:53:19.840 Is that the story?

00:53:21.020 I don't know the

00:53:21.600 details of that, but

00:53:22.480 you should follow

00:53:23.320 Barnes.

00:53:27.820 I saw a tweet from

00:53:29.480 Christian Venderbruck

00:53:30.840 talking about the

00:53:31.900 issue of Kyle.

00:53:32.900 He was 17 at the

00:53:33.820 time.

00:53:34.840 And Christian asked

00:53:35.880 this on Twitter.

00:53:37.020 What the hell kind

00:53:37.720 of, quote, well-regulated

00:53:39.600 militia includes

00:53:41.140 child soldiers?

00:53:44.480 Do you want to

00:53:45.220 answer that question?

00:53:45.860 What kind of

00:53:47.080 well-regulated

00:53:48.160 militia, well-regulated

00:53:50.100 militia, in quotes,

00:53:51.800 includes child

00:53:52.820 soldiers?

00:53:54.160 Do you know what

00:53:54.620 the answer is?

00:53:56.140 All of them.

00:53:57.620 All of them.

00:53:59.400 Yes.

00:54:00.540 Every one of them.

00:54:02.400 Do you think the

00:54:03.300 15-year-old colonial

00:54:05.300 boys weren't going to

00:54:06.400 pick up a gun?

00:54:08.040 Of course they were.

00:54:09.800 Of course they were.

00:54:11.180 17-year-olds join the

00:54:13.400 military routinely.

00:54:15.760 Yeah.

00:54:16.740 Child soldiers is the

00:54:18.120 norm.

00:54:18.780 Of course we're going

00:54:19.540 to have child soldiers.

00:54:20.760 I'd hate to go to war

00:54:22.100 without any.

00:54:23.800 Imagine trying to go to

00:54:24.920 war without any, you

00:54:26.540 know, 17, 18-year-olds

00:54:28.260 as part of the process.

00:54:29.760 It would be a lot

00:54:30.120 harder.

00:54:34.000 Apparently Wisconsin

00:54:35.200 has activated 500

00:54:36.960 National Guard troops.

00:54:38.800 Do you think we would

00:54:40.740 need any National Guard

00:54:42.020 troops if we were not

00:54:43.800 all completely aware

00:54:44.920 that the national media

00:54:47.920 is trying to turn this

00:54:48.960 into a riot?

00:54:51.140 If there's a riot, it's

00:54:52.700 not about Kyle, is it?

00:54:55.860 The riot would be

00:54:56.940 whatever the mainstream

00:54:58.720 media ginned up.

00:55:00.380 And it looks like they're

00:55:01.200 trying to create a little

00:55:02.740 riot here.

00:55:03.840 And I wonder if

00:55:04.880 activating the troops

00:55:05.960 is part of the risk

00:55:08.280 risk management, I hope.

00:55:10.740 I hope it's just good

00:55:11.680 risk management.

00:55:13.060 Or is it part of the

00:55:14.120 persuasion?

00:55:17.220 Are we activating

00:55:18.320 these troops as part

00:55:19.820 of the signal that

00:55:21.220 there's going to be a

00:55:21.900 riot to make it more

00:55:22.820 likely?

00:55:24.660 Because I would like to

00:55:25.820 not know that they were

00:55:27.200 activated, wouldn't you?

00:55:29.120 I'd like them to be

00:55:30.400 activated, but I don't

00:55:31.500 want it to be in the

00:55:32.320 news necessarily.

00:55:34.660 Does it make it less or

00:55:36.020 more likely that they'll

00:55:37.020 be rioting?

00:55:38.980 I don't know.

00:55:39.400 It feels more like

00:55:40.340 game on.

00:55:41.800 There's going to be a

00:55:42.580 lot of action and

00:55:43.340 energy.

00:55:44.440 So wherever there's

00:55:45.180 energy, people are

00:55:46.680 attracted.

00:55:47.860 And I think if you put

00:55:49.220 all these National Guard

00:55:50.100 troops in there, it's

00:55:50.860 going to be a lot of

00:55:51.440 energy.

00:55:52.760 So I'm not sure if

00:55:53.960 that's going to work

00:55:54.620 exactly as they hope.

00:55:56.540 But it's probably good

00:55:58.320 risk management to do

00:55:59.260 this.

00:55:59.880 But talking about it,

00:56:00.920 maybe not so much.

00:56:01.940 All right, that is

00:56:04.940 pretty much influence

00:56:07.460 the jurors.

00:56:08.140 Yeah, could influence

00:56:09.160 the jurors.

00:56:09.740 You're right.

00:56:11.920 Ten proud boys could

00:56:13.160 handle it.

00:56:14.760 Don't get me started on

00:56:16.100 the proud boys.

00:56:18.460 You know, the problem

00:56:19.060 with groups like the

00:56:20.200 proud boys and really

00:56:21.780 any group, the left,

00:56:23.160 the right, the problem

00:56:24.700 with any of these groups

00:56:25.640 is there's always going

00:56:26.360 to be somebody bad in a

00:56:27.560 group.

00:56:28.520 And then they will come

00:56:29.580 to define the entire

00:56:30.560 group.

00:56:38.040 Russell Brand coming

00:56:39.200 out as a commentator

00:56:40.600 like you, leaning

00:56:41.540 liberal but expresses

00:56:42.800 very conservative

00:56:43.580 opinions.

00:56:44.900 He has four million

00:56:45.700 subscribers.

00:56:47.160 Yeah, Russell Brand,

00:56:48.960 I hear what you're

00:56:49.660 saying, that he's a,

00:56:50.560 he's, he leans

00:56:51.660 liberal but because he's

00:56:53.780 open-minded and he's

00:56:55.800 smart and he does seem,

00:56:57.960 he's on the short list

00:56:59.080 of people that I think

00:57:00.020 is immune to some of

00:57:03.340 the biases.

00:57:06.260 And he's got four

00:57:07.240 million subscribers.

00:57:08.600 I think he earned four

00:57:09.880 million subscribers.

00:57:11.160 I think his number of

00:57:12.400 subscribers is completely

00:57:14.860 commensurate with the

00:57:15.900 quality of his product.

00:57:17.360 It's a very high quality

00:57:18.240 product.

00:57:18.760 If you haven't watched

00:57:19.340 it, it's really good.

00:57:22.080 Oh, also the divorce

00:57:24.140 courts, yeah.

00:57:27.440 He's a libertarian,

00:57:28.440 somebody says.

00:57:29.120 That makes sense.

00:57:29.880 A left-leaning

00:57:30.540 libertarian.

00:57:32.620 And Bill Maher keeps,

00:57:34.620 keeps pounding on the

00:57:36.240 wake mob as well.

00:57:44.600 Conservatives with

00:57:45.500 liberal audience.

00:57:46.760 Where's the other way

00:57:47.400 around?

00:57:48.120 Oh, good point.

00:57:49.680 Yes.

00:57:50.560 There, there are

00:57:51.380 liberal-leaning people

00:57:52.520 who have conservative

00:57:53.400 audiences and I would be

00:57:55.000 one of them.

00:57:55.440 By the way, let me

00:57:57.300 explain this in case,

00:57:58.120 in case, you know,

00:57:59.220 anybody's new here.

00:58:01.160 Here's, here's the way I

00:58:02.560 try to brand myself.

00:58:04.340 I say I'm left of

00:58:05.480 Bernie because I think

00:58:07.360 the, the left has

00:58:08.540 better goals.

00:58:10.380 All right.

00:58:11.120 Their, their objectives

00:58:12.020 are better.

00:58:12.500 It's like feed

00:58:13.060 everybody, you know,

00:58:14.580 give everybody a good

00:58:15.740 chance.

00:58:16.440 Get rid of the bias as

00:58:17.840 much as you can.

00:58:18.960 You know, get rid of

00:58:19.920 any structural racism

00:58:21.320 that's holding anybody

00:58:22.200 back.

00:58:22.520 I love all that

00:58:23.280 stuff.

00:58:24.480 I even, I even

00:58:25.580 respect when people

00:58:27.920 prefer to be called

00:58:29.580 by certain terms.

00:58:32.100 Totally.

00:58:32.820 Because I would like

00:58:33.640 the same right.

00:58:34.380 I would like to be

00:58:35.040 called, well, I would

00:58:36.460 like to be called.

00:58:37.720 In my case, I'd like to

00:58:38.820 be called, you know,

00:58:40.600 he or, you know, Mr.

00:58:42.340 Adams or whatever.

00:58:45.560 So that's just, you

00:58:46.720 know, being polite.

00:58:47.800 Everything can go too

00:58:48.840 far, of course, right?

00:58:49.920 Everything can go too

00:58:50.680 far.

00:58:50.840 So I like the

00:58:51.820 objectives of the

00:58:52.680 left, but I don't

00:58:54.000 like their tactics, and

00:58:56.580 I don't think they

00:58:57.220 understand human

00:58:58.040 motivation, so they

00:58:58.980 don't build good

00:58:59.620 systems.

00:59:00.480 So I like the systems

00:59:01.940 and practicality of

00:59:03.060 the right, because the

00:59:04.600 right never ignores

00:59:06.000 stuff that matters.

00:59:08.940 The left consistently

00:59:10.840 ignores gigantic

00:59:13.020 variables.

00:59:16.000 They just ignore

00:59:17.100 variables, such as how

00:59:19.080 people act, right?

00:59:21.060 Or how much money

00:59:21.800 there is.

00:59:22.820 Just gigantic

00:59:24.020 variables, just

00:59:25.240 completely ignored on

00:59:26.420 the left.

00:59:27.020 So I can't embrace the

00:59:28.560 left's strategy, because

00:59:32.300 it's just nonsense.

00:59:33.980 The right, however, has

00:59:35.280 a, let's say, maybe a

00:59:38.540 more clear-eyed, and

00:59:40.740 some would say, you

00:59:42.060 know, cold-blooded

00:59:43.240 approach to things,

00:59:44.200 because those make

00:59:45.680 systems work better.

00:59:47.860 You know, a good

00:59:48.460 system is going to be a

00:59:49.460 little harsh, but it's

00:59:51.000 only going to be harsh

00:59:51.660 against the people it

00:59:52.460 needs to be.

00:59:53.120 It's not going to be

00:59:53.880 harsh against the

00:59:54.840 people who are heading

00:59:56.000 in the right direction.

00:59:57.360 So I appreciate the

00:59:59.220 right's systems, and I

01:00:01.480 appreciate the left's,

01:00:02.740 you know, idealism, but

01:00:05.980 I don't think either of

01:00:06.760 them have it right.

01:00:07.940 That's my take.

01:00:09.180 I don't think either

01:00:09.860 side has it right.

01:00:10.680 There is clearly

01:00:12.320 gigantic space for a

01:00:14.460 middle party.

01:00:15.760 It would take somebody

01:00:16.840 with extraordinary

01:00:17.740 persuasion to pull it

01:00:18.820 off, but there is an

01:00:21.080 opening, and I don't

01:00:22.760 think it's ever existed

01:00:23.840 before.

01:00:24.680 There is an opening for

01:00:25.900 a middle party that

01:00:28.500 would represent 70% of

01:00:30.420 the country.

01:00:31.620 70% of the country.

01:00:33.000 But the only way to

01:00:33.860 pull it off is that the

01:00:34.920 middle party would

01:00:35.640 actually have to be

01:00:36.600 middle.

01:00:37.820 Like, it couldn't be

01:00:38.660 pretend middle, like

01:00:39.640 everybody tries to do.

01:00:40.680 You know, they try to

01:00:42.160 pretend they're appealing

01:00:43.620 to the middle, but

01:00:44.260 they're not.

01:00:45.380 At the very least, the

01:00:47.720 candidate for the

01:00:48.600 middle party would give

01:00:51.120 you both arguments.

01:00:53.260 Right?

01:00:54.180 That's the way I'd run

01:00:55.140 it.

01:00:55.600 Now, somebody said

01:00:56.580 Trump is middle.

01:00:58.220 That's not too far off.

01:01:00.340 It's not too far off to

01:01:01.380 say Trump is middle, but

01:01:02.780 because of his

01:01:03.380 provocative ways, he'll

01:01:05.240 never be seen that way.

01:01:06.320 So he doesn't work that

01:01:08.200 way.

01:01:08.420 He doesn't work as a

01:01:09.560 middle candidate.

01:01:10.680 But the other thing that

01:01:11.560 Trump doesn't do, he

01:01:15.000 doesn't explain the

01:01:15.840 other side.

01:01:18.180 Now, I'm not saying that

01:01:19.260 he should, because he's a

01:01:21.200 great persuader.

01:01:22.780 And just sticking to your

01:01:23.760 points and letting the

01:01:25.560 other side defend

01:01:26.400 themselves is probably a

01:01:27.700 good strategy.

01:01:28.760 But if you wanted to be

01:01:30.000 credible, and I think

01:01:31.360 there's this gigantic

01:01:32.180 thirst for at least

01:01:34.060 credibility, which is

01:01:35.140 different from being

01:01:35.780 right.

01:01:36.140 right, you know, people

01:01:37.380 will forgive you for

01:01:38.260 being wrong, but they

01:01:39.940 won't forgive you for

01:01:41.100 being wrong when you

01:01:42.020 should have done it

01:01:43.000 differently, when you

01:01:44.300 should have known.

01:01:45.140 They won't forgive that.

01:01:47.280 Right?

01:01:47.720 So if I were the middle

01:01:48.720 party, I would always tell

01:01:50.160 you the other person's

01:01:51.080 argument, and I would do

01:01:52.500 the best job I could of

01:01:53.620 explaining it.

01:01:54.460 Say, look, I'm going to

01:01:55.920 propose X, but I've got to

01:01:57.920 tell you Y has some good

01:01:59.140 points.

01:01:59.520 If you can't do that, you

01:02:02.540 don't deserve the vote.

01:02:05.480 I'll say that again really

01:02:07.160 clearly.

01:02:07.880 If you can't argue the

01:02:09.980 other team's side

01:02:11.380 convincingly, you shouldn't

01:02:14.380 be a politician.

01:02:15.940 You don't have the

01:02:16.680 capability.

01:02:17.920 And I don't think you

01:02:18.700 would be credible if you

01:02:19.980 can't describe the other

01:02:21.080 side credibly.

01:02:23.220 Now, on this live stream,

01:02:25.120 I try to do that.

01:02:27.340 Do I succeed?

01:02:28.700 I don't know.

01:02:29.000 That would be a judgment

01:02:29.680 call.

01:02:34.460 But I do try to show the

01:02:35.900 other party's argument.

01:02:37.240 And the reason I do that

01:02:38.220 is to build credibility.

01:02:40.680 Does it work?

01:02:42.380 Because I know it pisses

01:02:43.520 you off a lot when you

01:02:46.160 hear me even explain the

01:02:47.320 other side's point of

01:02:48.740 view.

01:02:49.600 But does it work overall

01:02:51.380 that when I agree with

01:02:53.220 you, it doesn't feel like

01:02:54.420 I'm just taking a side?

01:02:57.540 Yeah.

01:02:57.940 So I think it works.

01:02:59.200 It's just not a perfectly

01:03:00.900 clean process.

01:03:02.140 Some people are just

01:03:02.800 going to hate me for it.

01:03:10.040 You can't have a middle

01:03:11.520 party because the media

01:03:12.920 is in control?

01:03:14.040 Well, if somebody had a

01:03:15.060 big enough social media

01:03:16.280 platform, they could end

01:03:18.280 run, as Trump did in many

01:03:20.060 cases, they could end

01:03:21.140 run the major media.

01:03:28.380 What about Joe Rogan?

01:03:30.220 Oh, you mean?

01:03:32.040 Well, so Joe Rogan made

01:03:34.960 some news.

01:03:36.000 Probably not the way he

01:03:36.960 wanted to.

01:03:38.600 How many of you know the

01:03:39.920 latest Joe Rogan news?

01:03:41.720 All right.

01:03:45.780 I wasn't going to talk

01:03:46.500 about it, but I don't

01:03:47.560 know.

01:03:48.600 I don't think you can

01:03:49.920 avoid talking about it.

01:03:51.120 It's just...

01:03:52.260 So keep in mind that Joe

01:03:53.880 Rogan is, you know, a

01:03:55.720 comedian.

01:03:57.860 So when he says things,

01:03:59.280 you shouldn't take them

01:04:00.020 100% seriously.

01:04:02.340 But apparently he said in

01:04:04.180 some context that he's

01:04:05.260 very flexible.

01:04:06.580 And he's so flexible that

01:04:07.900 he can...

01:04:08.720 let's say he can orally

01:04:11.120 please himself.

01:04:12.800 Now, first of all, I

01:04:14.460 don't know that that's

01:04:15.200 actually true, meaning I

01:04:16.920 don't know if he's

01:04:17.760 literally that flexible.

01:04:20.260 But, you know,

01:04:21.040 theoretically, yes.

01:04:23.240 But the fact that he said

01:04:24.640 it is why he's a national

01:04:28.220 treasure.

01:04:30.080 You know, I keep referring

01:04:32.680 to Joe Rogan as a national

01:04:34.480 treasure, because I think

01:04:35.820 he is.

01:04:36.880 But that's why.

01:04:37.660 Like, I would never tell

01:04:41.680 that joke, because you

01:04:43.060 can't get it out of your

01:04:43.760 head.

01:04:44.820 You know, like, now, it's

01:04:46.500 going to really, I think

01:04:48.000 for some people it might

01:04:48.860 change the way they see

01:04:50.040 him.

01:04:50.480 So I wouldn't have told

01:04:51.360 that joke, but I love the

01:04:52.380 fact that he did.

01:04:53.680 I love the fact that he

01:04:55.660 threw caution to the wind

01:04:56.960 and told that joke.

01:04:57.760 He had to know, you know,

01:04:59.540 on some level he had to

01:05:00.620 know what would come of

01:05:02.180 that.

01:05:02.460 And I'm just hoping that he

01:05:08.520 doesn't, because he's

01:05:09.440 influential, I'm just hoping

01:05:11.200 he doesn't cause other men

01:05:13.220 to join yoga classes.

01:05:16.200 So let me make a prediction.

01:05:18.740 You ready for this?

01:05:20.480 I'm going to make a prediction.

01:05:23.500 It's based on the fact that

01:05:24.940 Joe Rogan is influential in the

01:05:27.740 sense that he has a large

01:05:28.580 platform.

01:05:29.060 So his platform, plus the

01:05:31.260 fact that he makes news,

01:05:33.380 tens of millions of

01:05:34.240 Americans have heard that

01:05:35.940 he's so flexible that he

01:05:37.260 can please himself.

01:05:39.860 Here's my prediction.

01:05:41.600 You ready?

01:05:44.500 Male attendance in yoga

01:05:46.320 classes will go up in the

01:05:48.240 next year.

01:05:52.060 Anybody?

01:05:52.720 Anybody want to take the

01:05:53.560 other side of that back?

01:05:55.440 I don't know if we can

01:05:56.780 measure such things, because

01:05:58.000 I don't know if there's a

01:05:58.800 data on how many men take

01:06:01.020 yoga classes, but my

01:06:03.340 prediction is that there

01:06:05.180 will be a good 10% uptick in

01:06:08.340 men joining yoga classes.

01:06:16.800 I'll just leave that there.

01:06:19.100 All right.

01:06:19.440 Apparently, he's already got a

01:06:27.880 nickname.

01:06:28.720 Joe Blow Rogan.

01:06:33.820 All right.

01:06:41.580 I'm just looking at your jokes

01:06:43.000 now.

01:06:45.280 I'm just going to look at the

01:06:46.440 jokes.

01:06:55.980 All right.

01:06:56.680 I'm not going to read any of

01:06:57.760 your jokes.

01:06:58.500 I think that's enough for

01:06:59.440 today.

01:06:59.740 We'll leave it on that.

01:07:01.080 And thanks for joining me.

01:07:02.980 I hope you enjoyed it.

01:07:03.920 So guys.

01:07:05.040 I'm just going to read it my
