Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1561 Scott Adams： Talking About All the Media Manipulation and the Landslide Coming in 2022

00:00:00.000 Well, look, let me put on my microphone here.

00:00:04.880 I'll bet that's better, isn't it?

00:00:07.020 Yeah, yeah.

00:00:08.540 Yeah, it's time for the SimulSip.

00:00:10.800 You can call it the SimulSip.

00:00:12.440 I think it's time to abbreviate it.

00:00:14.960 And how would you like to enjoy, really,

00:00:18.760 one of the best experiences in all of life?

00:00:22.340 Nay, all of civilization.

00:00:25.900 Paul, thank you.

00:00:27.460 Audio looks good on both platforms.

00:00:30.440 Well, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:00:32.280 a tank or a chelsea stein, a canteen jug, a flask,

00:00:34.260 a vessel of any kind.

00:00:36.040 Fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.

00:00:39.360 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:00:43.380 the dopamine at the end of the day,

00:00:45.000 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:47.460 You watch. You watch. It makes everything better.

00:00:49.740 It's called the Simultaneous Sip.

00:00:51.260 Some call it the SimulSip.

00:00:53.500 And it happens now. Go.

00:01:00.000 Well, here's a little thing that snuck up on you.

00:01:04.700 Many of you know my story

00:01:08.740 that a number of years ago I lost my ability to speak.

00:01:12.480 I won't go through the whole story,

00:01:13.900 but it was an exotic problem called a spasmodic dysphonia.

00:01:17.720 And I could make noise, but it wouldn't be intelligible.

00:01:21.500 My vocal cords would clench when I tried to speak.

00:01:24.980 And it's a rare disorder,

00:01:26.320 and it took me three years to figure out what to do,

00:01:28.940 and I found the only doctor in the world who had a surgery

00:01:31.340 that could fix it.

00:01:33.160 It was risky, but I took it.

00:01:36.400 And it fixed it.

00:01:37.840 So there are tens of thousands of people in the world right now

00:01:41.380 who can't speak, can't have a conversation,

00:01:45.420 because they don't know that that one surgery that fixed this exists.

00:01:50.780 They go to their doctor, and their doctor doesn't know about it.

00:01:54.000 So I did spend a lot of time doing some outreach

00:01:56.820 and trying to tell people that it exists as an option, etc.

00:02:01.640 But here's what I wanted to tell you.

00:02:03.800 During those years when I couldn't speak,

00:02:06.120 every time I got in my car, almost every time, alone,

00:02:11.100 I would repeat an affirmation.

00:02:14.760 And the affirmation was that I, Scott Adams, will speak perfectly.

00:02:21.000 Now this was a ridiculous affirmation for two reasons.

00:02:25.180 Number one, prior to having any voice problems whatsoever,

00:02:29.620 I had a terrible voice.

00:02:32.080 So what are the odds that I would go from not being able to speak

00:02:36.100 at all, all the way past my normal terrible voice

00:02:39.920 to something closer to perfect?

00:02:43.560 Very low, given that the problem with my voice

00:02:47.240 was literally incurable at that time.

00:02:51.140 It was literally incurable.

00:02:53.280 You know, when I first got it,

00:02:54.460 even the doctor who cured it didn't have the cure yet.

00:02:57.200 He was still, you know, dicking around trying to find it.

00:03:00.600 But, something happened in the last, I don't know,

00:03:04.460 it feels like the last few weeks.

00:03:07.740 Which is, I don't know if it's because my allergies are not bothering me.

00:03:12.620 I don't know if it's because I had sinus surgery last year,

00:03:15.480 and maybe it's, you know, all working out for me about now.

00:03:19.960 But, correct me if I'm wrong,

00:03:24.040 my voice is damn near perfect now, isn't it?

00:03:27.340 Am I wrong?

00:03:28.340 Because I can't, you know, you can't hear your own voice.

00:03:31.040 But, did I actually achieve the impossible?

00:03:37.300 I think it actually happened.

00:03:41.840 What could be less likely

00:03:43.300 than someone who never had a good voice

00:03:46.220 and then lost their speaking ability completely?

00:03:50.300 What are the odds that they would be able to do this someday?

00:03:55.480 Have I ever told you about Prisoner Island?

00:03:58.580 I know I have, but it's worth repeating,

00:04:01.320 because when you see another example of it.

00:04:03.080 I think everybody should have a story of themself.

00:04:08.500 Sort of an operating system or a code.

00:04:11.960 Maybe you could call it a philosophy,

00:04:14.620 but I prefer to say it's a story about yourself.

00:04:17.940 And the story about yourself is the story

00:04:20.100 that you can rely on when everything goes wrong.

00:04:25.260 There's a story of yourself.

00:04:27.120 Here's the story of myself.

00:04:29.220 Now, it's a fictional story,

00:04:30.520 but it's the story that I use as my operating code.

00:04:34.340 And it's called Prisoner Island.

00:04:36.320 Have you heard of it?

00:04:38.700 Prisoner Island goes like this.

00:04:41.500 There's an island in which prisoners are dropped

00:04:44.000 and there's no warden.

00:04:45.960 It's just a jungle there, literally.

00:04:48.700 And you just have to figure it out with the other prisoners

00:04:51.120 and survive any way you can.

00:04:53.760 And so in my story of myself, Prisoner Island,

00:04:56.960 I'm dropped on Prisoner Island

00:04:59.480 and, you know, I'm exactly me.

00:05:02.320 So I'm not the biggest prisoner.

00:05:04.700 On day one, the prisoners beat me up

00:05:06.940 and rape me viciously.

00:05:09.600 Day two, the prisoners beat me up

00:05:12.860 and rape me viciously.

00:05:16.140 Day three, the prisoners beat me up

00:05:19.420 and rape me viciously.

00:05:21.380 Come back in a year,

00:05:24.920 they'll all be dead

00:05:26.000 and I will be running Prisoner Island.

00:05:29.640 That's my story.

00:05:31.420 And the story is not about, you know,

00:05:35.000 going to the top of Prisoner Island.

00:05:37.600 The story is about

00:05:38.740 I will go deeper than you will go.

00:05:42.760 The story is

00:05:43.740 no matter how far you're willing to go,

00:05:46.800 I'm going to go deeper than that every time.

00:05:49.280 It's also the reason I've never been afraid of a human being,

00:05:54.560 like even scary human beings.

00:05:57.080 And maybe you have the same experience if you're male.

00:05:59.040 If you're female,

00:05:59.960 it's probably reasonable to be afraid of, you know, big scary men.

00:06:03.640 But I'm not a big scary man,

00:06:05.880 but I've never been afraid of anybody who was

00:06:08.820 because I will go farther than they will go

00:06:12.840 and they better stay away

00:06:14.680 because there's nothing more scary than somebody who's crazy.

00:06:17.880 And I will go, I'll go to crazy, right?

00:06:21.900 If somebody big tried to hurt me,

00:06:23.920 I would go to crazy and I would just stay there.

00:06:26.620 I would never leave crazy

00:06:28.060 because that's what it takes.

00:06:30.380 If that's what it takes

00:06:32.040 to win Prisoner Island,

00:06:34.460 I'm going to do it.

00:06:35.900 So the moral of Prisoner Island is

00:06:38.700 I'm going to do what it takes.

00:06:41.360 Now, another version of this

00:06:42.800 is the millionaire's advice,

00:06:45.200 which I repeat a lot.

00:06:46.940 It's the best advice I've ever heard.

00:06:48.440 I wish I knew who it came from.

00:06:49.720 It came from an actual millionaire

00:06:50.980 whose name I don't remember.

00:06:53.540 And what he said was,

00:06:54.680 if you want to succeed,

00:06:56.180 figure out the price of success

00:06:57.980 and then pay it.

00:07:00.680 That's it.

00:07:02.140 That's the whole deal.

00:07:04.040 If you want to be successful,

00:07:06.280 figure out the price

00:07:07.400 to be successful

00:07:09.040 and then pay it.

00:07:09.840 If you do that,

00:07:11.900 you will be successful.

00:07:12.760 In my case,

00:07:13.700 it was working

00:07:14.440 seven days a week

00:07:16.140 for ten years.

00:07:18.100 That's what it took.

00:07:19.700 It took me working

00:07:20.540 seven days a year

00:07:21.340 for ten years.

00:07:22.860 And, you know,

00:07:23.300 there were other challenges there.

00:07:24.940 For example,

00:07:25.500 losing the ability

00:07:26.200 to draw halfway through.

00:07:29.500 By the way,

00:07:30.420 do any of you know

00:07:31.260 that I can't draw

00:07:32.100 with my right hand right now?

00:07:34.240 I've lost the ability

00:07:35.340 to use my drawing hand.

00:07:37.460 So,

00:07:38.140 if you were

00:07:39.020 a professional artist

00:07:40.480 and you lost

00:07:42.180 your ability to draw,

00:07:44.180 like,

00:07:44.500 I actually can't use

00:07:45.220 my hand anymore

00:07:45.820 just from overuse.

00:07:47.160 It's not carpal tunnel.

00:07:48.360 It's a focal dystonia.

00:07:49.540 It's a whole different thing.

00:07:51.280 It's from overuse.

00:07:53.180 And it's not carpal tunnel.

00:07:54.480 It's a focal dystonia.

00:07:55.620 It's a different thing.

00:07:57.620 But,

00:07:59.020 Prisoner Island.

00:08:01.500 If you've never been

00:08:03.000 to Prisoner Island

00:08:03.840 and you're a cartoonist

00:08:05.540 and you lose the ability

00:08:06.400 to draw,

00:08:08.040 you stop drawing.

00:08:09.740 You quit.

00:08:11.180 But if you've been

00:08:12.020 to Prisoner Island,

00:08:13.260 you learn to draw

00:08:14.680 left-handed.

00:08:16.020 Is that easy?

00:08:18.040 Nope.

00:08:19.980 Nope.

00:08:21.220 Drawing left-handed

00:08:22.300 is not easy.

00:08:24.460 Now,

00:08:24.760 I'm mildly

00:08:25.480 ambidextrous,

00:08:26.300 so I probably have

00:08:26.940 a little leg up

00:08:28.660 on that.

00:08:29.660 But,

00:08:30.080 boy,

00:08:30.520 am I

00:08:31.000 unwilling

00:08:34.480 to compromise

00:08:35.940 on some things?

00:08:38.280 And so,

00:08:39.560 now I draw

00:08:40.060 left-handed.

00:08:40.740 It takes a little longer.

00:08:41.740 I'm getting better at it.

00:08:43.180 And I have an art assistant

00:08:44.920 who does the finished work

00:08:46.300 so I can get away

00:08:47.660 with some imperfections.

00:08:50.660 But anyway,

00:08:51.360 that's what I wanted

00:08:51.880 to tell you.

00:08:52.360 somehow

00:08:54.060 that affirmation

00:08:56.940 that was maybe

00:08:57.700 the least likely

00:08:58.940 affirmation I could have

00:09:00.640 ever come up with

00:09:01.600 actually came through.

00:09:04.420 I don't know what this means

00:09:05.620 about the world,

00:09:06.400 really.

00:09:07.320 Because the number of times

00:09:08.900 I've had affirmations

00:09:10.960 for things that

00:09:12.440 just seemed impossible,

00:09:14.680 just impossible,

00:09:16.040 and they happened,

00:09:17.420 it's really crazy.

00:09:18.780 And it makes you wonder

00:09:19.600 about the whole nature

00:09:20.300 of reality,

00:09:20.940 really.

00:09:21.800 I would tell you

00:09:22.360 some other examples,

00:09:23.300 but you can read them

00:09:24.400 in my book.

00:09:25.620 All right,

00:09:25.900 here's the funniest

00:09:26.740 story of the day.

00:09:27.800 Bernie Sanders

00:09:28.560 tweets this

00:09:29.380 20 hours ago.

00:09:31.720 We must demand

00:09:33.140 that the extremely wealthy

00:09:34.760 pay their fair share.

00:09:36.820 Period.

00:09:37.180 Period.

00:09:38.480 Why do people say

00:09:39.860 period

00:09:40.720 at the end of a statement?

00:09:42.740 Do you know why?

00:09:44.540 Why do people say

00:09:46.180 period?

00:09:48.000 It's because

00:09:48.800 they don't have

00:09:49.460 an argument.

00:09:51.440 That's the only reason.

00:09:53.780 You wouldn't say

00:09:54.820 period

00:09:55.640 if you had

00:09:57.340 any kind of

00:09:57.860 an argument.

00:09:58.460 You would just

00:09:58.840 give the argument.

00:10:00.180 But his argument

00:10:00.820 is fairness,

00:10:02.200 which is a concept,

00:10:03.700 as I often say,

00:10:05.200 a concept that was

00:10:06.200 created so that

00:10:07.280 children and stupid

00:10:08.680 people could have

00:10:10.500 something to talk about.

00:10:12.760 Because do you know

00:10:13.640 what's fair?

00:10:15.620 Nothing.

00:10:17.640 Nothing.

00:10:18.160 There are things

00:10:19.740 that you imagine

00:10:20.520 are fair,

00:10:21.100 there are things

00:10:21.440 you say are fair,

00:10:22.180 but there's nothing

00:10:22.760 like fairness

00:10:24.480 in the universe.

00:10:26.600 You can't get yourself

00:10:27.440 a handful of fairness.

00:10:29.220 You can't even get

00:10:29.860 two people to agree

00:10:30.720 what's fair.

00:10:32.140 What is fair

00:10:32.960 when it comes to taxes?

00:10:36.480 Can you define fair?

00:10:38.860 What's fair?

00:10:39.720 I already pay

00:10:40.720 the highest percentage

00:10:42.360 of anybody

00:10:43.100 in the United States

00:10:44.100 as a ratio.

00:10:45.380 I also work

00:10:47.200 two jobs

00:10:48.200 when I don't need

00:10:48.900 to, right?

00:10:50.800 So this entire

00:10:52.200 profession,

00:10:53.100 if you want to call

00:10:53.620 it that,

00:10:54.020 the live streaming

00:10:54.920 and stuff,

00:10:56.160 it's a huge portion

00:10:58.520 of my effort

00:10:59.940 and I don't need

00:11:01.660 to do that.

00:11:02.840 I don't need

00:11:03.240 to do that.

00:11:03.920 But I do it

00:11:04.560 because it's good

00:11:05.580 for the world,

00:11:06.280 good for the country,

00:11:07.080 et cetera.

00:11:07.640 Should I pay

00:11:08.140 the same taxes

00:11:09.020 as someone

00:11:10.640 who's doing

00:11:11.040 something selfish?

00:11:11.880 Why is that fair?

00:11:15.140 Why is it fair

00:11:16.200 that a selfish person

00:11:17.940 who's just doing

00:11:18.760 work just for

00:11:19.380 their own benefit

00:11:20.100 pays the same taxes

00:11:22.680 as I do

00:11:23.300 when I'm doing this

00:11:24.660 really primarily

00:11:25.840 for other people's

00:11:27.060 benefit?

00:11:27.780 Is that fair?

00:11:29.400 There's nothing

00:11:30.200 that's fair.

00:11:31.460 Fair is purely

00:11:32.440 subjective.

00:11:33.620 And the moment

00:11:34.260 you say,

00:11:35.240 it's got to be

00:11:35.740 fair,

00:11:36.700 period,

00:11:37.880 you are signaling

00:11:38.700 with extreme

00:11:40.180 clarity that

00:11:41.700 you have no

00:11:42.200 reason for

00:11:42.740 what you want.

00:11:44.120 You just want

00:11:44.700 what you want.

00:11:45.380 There's no reason

00:11:46.000 for it.

00:11:47.820 Elon Musk

00:11:48.720 replied to

00:11:49.680 Sanders saying

00:11:50.460 we must demand

00:11:51.180 the extremely

00:11:51.700 wealthy pay

00:11:52.280 their fair share,

00:11:53.100 period.

00:11:53.940 And Elon Musk

00:11:54.780 replied with this,

00:11:57.360 and I quote,

00:11:58.820 I keep forgetting

00:11:59.700 that you're still

00:12:00.460 alive.

00:12:05.860 I keep forgetting

00:12:07.240 that you're still

00:12:08.560 alive.

00:12:10.180 I don't know

00:12:16.720 if Elon Musk

00:12:17.440 is the funniest

00:12:18.360 tweeter now

00:12:19.920 that Trump is

00:12:20.500 gone,

00:12:21.460 but he's pretty

00:12:23.060 close if he's

00:12:24.120 not the funniest

00:12:24.760 tweeter.

00:12:25.540 Now,

00:12:25.700 some of it,

00:12:26.520 some of it is

00:12:27.140 because of his

00:12:27.700 situation.

00:12:28.440 You know,

00:12:28.580 if you're the

00:12:28.920 richest person

00:12:29.540 in the world,

00:12:31.180 everything you

00:12:31.880 say sounds a

00:12:32.500 little more

00:12:32.760 interesting and

00:12:33.460 a little funnier

00:12:34.220 because everything's

00:12:35.100 amped up by that

00:12:36.140 fact.

00:12:37.100 But that's a

00:12:38.560 really good tweet.

00:12:39.360 I keep forgetting

00:12:40.820 you're still

00:12:41.220 alive.

00:12:43.420 This is why

00:12:44.300 Tesla doesn't

00:12:45.120 need to spend

00:12:45.660 money on

00:12:46.060 marketing.

00:12:48.900 Musk is the

00:12:49.920 marketing.

00:12:50.540 You can't look

00:12:51.040 away.

00:12:52.820 Try to go a

00:12:53.820 day without

00:12:54.220 talking about

00:12:54.860 Tesla.

00:12:57.000 Try going a

00:12:58.380 full day without

00:13:00.100 mentioning Tesla

00:13:01.200 or Elon Musk.

00:13:03.100 It's actually

00:13:03.880 hard to do.

00:13:05.280 I don't think

00:13:05.780 I've gone a

00:13:06.280 full day without

00:13:07.040 mentioning one

00:13:07.700 of them.

00:13:09.400 I don't know

00:13:09.760 how long.

00:13:10.420 Now,

00:13:10.600 part of it is

00:13:11.020 because I'm in

00:13:11.560 California and

00:13:12.260 there are

00:13:12.800 Teslas everywhere.

00:13:14.020 So you're just

00:13:14.820 surrounded with

00:13:15.660 Elon Musk

00:13:16.420 reminders all

00:13:17.720 day long.

00:13:19.420 And people

00:13:20.120 telling me I

00:13:20.680 should get one.

00:13:21.660 Like,

00:13:21.920 I probably have

00:13:22.580 that conversation

00:13:23.360 about three

00:13:24.000 times a week.

00:13:25.340 Somebody telling

00:13:25.980 me,

00:13:26.300 why don't you

00:13:26.980 have a Tesla?

00:13:27.440 I don't

00:13:28.320 understand.

00:13:30.220 Obviously,

00:13:30.880 why wouldn't

00:13:31.480 you have one?

00:13:32.780 And I have

00:13:33.180 to, like,

00:13:33.960 explain all

00:13:34.640 that,

00:13:35.020 blah, blah.

00:13:35.740 Well,

00:13:36.060 maybe I will

00:13:36.500 have someone

00:13:36.900 one day.

00:13:38.240 All right,

00:13:38.440 here's a

00:13:38.720 question for

00:13:39.260 you.

00:13:39.520 Let's look

00:13:39.900 back.

00:13:40.300 Let's go

00:13:40.620 back in

00:13:41.000 the Wayback

00:13:41.440 Machine.

00:13:42.600 And do

00:13:44.320 you remember

00:13:44.820 when China

00:13:47.360 reopened the

00:13:48.320 wet markets?

00:13:49.780 How many

00:13:50.120 remember that

00:13:50.960 we thought

00:13:51.980 the virus

00:13:53.780 might have

00:13:54.220 come from

00:13:54.760 the wet

00:13:55.100 markets and

00:13:56.100 then China

00:13:56.740 fairly quickly,

00:13:58.160 according to

00:13:58.900 everything we

00:14:00.400 knew about

00:14:00.820 everything,

00:14:01.860 they reopened

00:14:02.540 the wet

00:14:02.840 markets.

00:14:04.240 And do

00:14:04.420 you remember

00:14:04.680 how appalled

00:14:05.560 you were and

00:14:07.060 how reckless

00:14:07.960 that seemed?

00:14:09.820 Now,

00:14:10.460 think about

00:14:10.980 how reckless

00:14:11.680 that seemed

00:14:12.480 and then

00:14:14.580 compare it to

00:14:15.360 all the other

00:14:16.080 things that

00:14:16.560 China did

00:14:17.100 about the

00:14:17.660 pandemic.

00:14:19.460 One thing

00:14:20.400 looks terribly

00:14:21.660 reckless,

00:14:23.200 opening up

00:14:24.240 the wet

00:14:24.600 markets,

00:14:25.000 which didn't

00:14:25.480 seem necessary

00:14:26.300 because I

00:14:27.100 don't think

00:14:27.420 those wet

00:14:27.840 markets have

00:14:28.440 that much

00:14:29.060 impact on

00:14:29.660 the national

00:14:30.720 economy,

00:14:31.400 do they?

00:14:32.060 I doubt it.

00:14:33.520 And they're

00:14:33.980 not even

00:14:34.360 phasing them

00:14:35.040 out.

00:14:36.200 It'd be one

00:14:36.700 thing if they

00:14:37.100 said,

00:14:37.300 well, we

00:14:37.620 have to

00:14:37.980 reopen them

00:14:38.540 because people

00:14:39.020 need to

00:14:39.400 eat,

00:14:39.940 if that's

00:14:40.680 what's going

00:14:41.080 on.

00:14:43.140 But, you

00:14:43.700 know, we'll

00:14:43.940 phase them

00:14:44.320 out as

00:14:44.580 quickly as

00:14:45.040 we can.

00:14:46.000 Now, that's

00:14:47.480 not what

00:14:47.780 happened.

00:14:48.140 They just

00:14:48.400 reopened them.

00:14:49.980 That would

00:14:50.560 seem terribly

00:14:51.260 reckless,

00:14:51.880 wouldn't it?

00:14:52.300 But then

00:14:53.800 you look at

00:14:54.200 the other

00:14:54.860 things that

00:14:55.400 China did.

00:14:56.040 They nailed

00:14:56.820 people in

00:14:57.360 their apartments.

00:15:01.380 I think

00:15:01.940 they're

00:15:02.120 jailing people

00:15:02.820 and tracking

00:15:03.360 people, and

00:15:04.440 they're

00:15:04.720 insanely

00:15:05.400 conservative

00:15:06.080 about managing

00:15:07.240 the virus.

00:15:08.160 In every

00:15:08.960 other realm,

00:15:10.500 insanely

00:15:11.060 conservative.

00:15:12.260 But yet,

00:15:13.600 but yet,

00:15:14.880 in this one

00:15:15.520 little realm

00:15:16.200 of reopening

00:15:17.980 the wet

00:15:18.320 markets,

00:15:18.700 they're the

00:15:19.120 opposite of

00:15:20.100 every other

00:15:20.720 way they've

00:15:21.240 acted with

00:15:21.940 the pandemic.

00:15:23.000 How would

00:15:23.380 you explain

00:15:23.840 that?

00:15:25.340 There's only

00:15:26.060 one explanation.

00:15:27.820 Do you know

00:15:28.120 what the one

00:15:28.520 explanation is?

00:15:30.620 China knew

00:15:31.460 early on

00:15:32.720 the wet

00:15:33.420 markets were

00:15:34.000 not the

00:15:34.360 source.

00:15:37.080 There is no

00:15:37.940 other

00:15:38.180 explanation.

00:15:39.820 There have

00:15:40.280 been books

00:15:40.820 written about

00:15:41.740 whether or not

00:15:42.380 this virus was

00:15:43.280 man-made or

00:15:43.940 came from the

00:15:44.500 wet markets.

00:15:45.400 You don't

00:15:46.000 need any

00:15:46.520 books.

00:15:48.140 They never

00:15:48.860 would have

00:15:49.260 reopened the

00:15:49.880 wet markets

00:15:50.460 if they

00:15:51.260 didn't know

00:15:53.120 it came from

00:15:55.740 the lab

00:15:56.220 or somewhere

00:15:57.320 else.

00:15:59.280 You know

00:15:59.920 I'm right.

00:16:01.260 You know

00:16:01.700 I'm right.

00:16:02.440 And who

00:16:02.700 else has

00:16:03.120 mentioned

00:16:03.380 this?

00:16:04.600 Have you

00:16:04.920 heard anybody

00:16:05.540 else say

00:16:05.960 what I just

00:16:06.420 said?

00:16:07.140 That there

00:16:07.700 is no

00:16:08.260 other

00:16:08.540 explanation

00:16:09.060 for the

00:16:09.420 wet markets

00:16:09.960 except that

00:16:10.800 China knew

00:16:11.300 that that's

00:16:11.760 not the

00:16:12.120 source?

00:16:13.080 There's no

00:16:13.500 other

00:16:13.700 explanation.

00:16:14.960 It is

00:16:15.580 100%

00:16:16.380 inconsistent

00:16:17.060 with every

00:16:18.000 other way

00:16:18.400 that they

00:16:18.720 act.

00:16:19.040 It's

00:16:19.940 the only

00:16:20.440 way it

00:16:20.780 can be

00:16:21.040 explained.

00:16:23.140 Yeah.

00:16:24.100 And why

00:16:24.920 did you have

00:16:25.340 to hear that

00:16:25.680 from me?

00:16:27.660 Because did

00:16:28.340 I introduce

00:16:28.820 any new

00:16:29.400 facts?

00:16:30.220 No.

00:16:31.160 No, I

00:16:31.700 introduced no

00:16:32.520 new facts.

00:16:34.040 I just

00:16:34.460 looked at the

00:16:35.020 facts that

00:16:35.420 every one of

00:16:35.920 you know

00:16:36.240 and I just

00:16:37.480 reframed it.

00:16:39.180 Why did the

00:16:39.940 news not do

00:16:40.520 that for you?

00:16:42.680 There's a lot

00:16:43.420 of people in

00:16:43.920 the news.

00:16:44.440 Why did

00:16:46.540 you have to

00:16:46.840 wait for

00:16:47.140 me?

00:16:48.240 I mean,

00:16:48.520 think about

00:16:48.900 it.

00:16:49.940 This is

00:16:50.540 another sign

00:16:52.340 of how

00:16:52.680 easily we're

00:16:53.560 manipulated by

00:16:54.640 the news.

00:16:55.620 The fact

00:16:56.080 that we

00:16:56.360 never even

00:16:56.820 thought about

00:16:57.380 this, and

00:16:57.760 I didn't

00:16:58.020 think about

00:16:58.380 it until

00:16:58.580 yesterday.

00:16:59.800 Literally

00:17:00.180 yesterday is

00:17:00.960 the first

00:17:01.320 time that

00:17:01.720 occurred to

00:17:02.120 me.

00:17:03.220 Think about

00:17:03.700 that.

00:17:05.480 It's one

00:17:06.020 of the most

00:17:06.340 important

00:17:06.780 questions in

00:17:07.880 the country,

00:17:08.420 and it's

00:17:08.680 largely answered.

00:17:10.820 It's like

00:17:11.140 one of the

00:17:11.560 big mysteries

00:17:12.100 completely

00:17:12.660 answered, and

00:17:13.600 we didn't

00:17:13.940 even realize

00:17:14.440 it.

00:17:14.820 It was all

00:17:15.300 right there.

00:17:16.060 You didn't

00:17:16.360 even have to

00:17:16.720 look for

00:17:16.960 anything.

00:17:18.920 So, all

00:17:21.440 right, here's

00:17:21.820 another one.

00:17:23.940 When news

00:17:26.340 of the virus

00:17:26.860 first came

00:17:27.440 out in the

00:17:27.840 beginning of

00:17:28.340 the pandemic,

00:17:30.240 do you

00:17:31.580 remember that

00:17:32.140 all the

00:17:32.600 experts, I

00:17:33.300 believe all

00:17:34.000 of them,

00:17:35.220 correct me if

00:17:35.840 I'm wrong, I

00:17:36.300 didn't see any

00:17:36.800 exceptions, I

00:17:37.900 believe all of

00:17:38.580 the experts on

00:17:39.500 viruses said,

00:17:40.800 if this were

00:17:42.000 engineered, we

00:17:44.180 could tell by

00:17:45.160 looking at

00:17:45.640 it.

00:17:46.580 Do you

00:17:46.800 remember that?

00:17:47.680 All the

00:17:48.140 experts said we

00:17:48.960 would be able

00:17:49.340 to tell.

00:17:50.500 We'd just look

00:17:51.140 at it, and

00:17:51.580 you'd know that

00:17:52.060 was engineered.

00:17:53.720 Right?

00:17:54.160 All the public

00:17:55.060 experts.

00:17:57.000 Now, see if

00:17:58.180 you had a

00:17:59.300 different

00:18:00.900 opinion or a

00:18:02.620 different experience

00:18:03.940 personally.

00:18:05.280 Whenever I

00:18:05.940 talk to anybody

00:18:06.600 smart enough to

00:18:07.500 have a reasonable

00:18:08.560 opinion on that

00:18:09.340 question, privately,

00:18:10.720 every one of

00:18:12.280 them said, oh

00:18:12.800 yeah, that

00:18:13.180 could be

00:18:13.480 engineered and

00:18:14.100 you wouldn't

00:18:14.400 know the

00:18:14.680 difference.

00:18:15.940 All of

00:18:16.400 them.

00:18:17.680 Everybody

00:18:18.120 privately who

00:18:19.660 had any

00:18:20.160 qualifications said

00:18:22.080 yeah, you

00:18:22.520 could do that and

00:18:23.280 nobody would

00:18:23.820 know the

00:18:24.100 difference.

00:18:25.200 Now, I

00:18:25.720 don't have any

00:18:26.320 qualifications and

00:18:27.200 I knew that.

00:18:30.020 Do you know

00:18:30.700 how?

00:18:31.700 Because it's

00:18:32.120 obvious.

00:18:33.120 It's obvious.

00:18:34.680 All you'd have

00:18:35.400 to do is

00:18:36.200 experiment with

00:18:38.560 mixing and

00:18:40.200 matching and

00:18:40.780 evolving from

00:18:41.620 species to

00:18:42.300 species until

00:18:43.840 you got one

00:18:44.420 that looked

00:18:44.740 really bad.

00:18:46.400 And if you

00:18:46.760 looked at it

00:18:47.260 on a

00:18:47.580 microscope, it

00:18:48.320 would look

00:18:48.640 like it

00:18:49.040 evolved naturally.

00:18:50.980 Nobody would

00:18:51.500 know that you

00:18:51.980 goosed the

00:18:52.660 evolution with

00:18:53.540 selective breeding

00:18:54.660 and whatever

00:18:55.840 you're doing to

00:18:56.600 make them

00:18:58.640 mutate.

00:19:00.220 So if I

00:19:01.960 do that,

00:19:03.720 what's up with

00:19:04.980 every expert who

00:19:06.220 went on television

00:19:06.880 and told you

00:19:07.460 that's not a

00:19:08.060 thing?

00:19:08.860 I don't know

00:19:09.360 anything about

00:19:10.040 viruses and I

00:19:10.900 know that you

00:19:11.280 could at least

00:19:11.840 mess with them

00:19:13.140 to make them

00:19:14.100 mutate and

00:19:16.200 then see what

00:19:16.700 they did.

00:19:17.520 You don't have

00:19:18.100 to be an expert

00:19:18.580 to know that,

00:19:19.320 right?

00:19:21.140 So, I

00:19:23.680 mean, that's

00:19:24.120 the amount to

00:19:26.420 which we are

00:19:26.980 being bamboozled

00:19:28.040 by this stuff is

00:19:29.200 just shocking.

00:19:31.760 However bad you

00:19:32.640 thought things

00:19:33.160 were, they're

00:19:33.540 probably worse

00:19:34.000 than that.

00:19:34.300 Well, Kerry

00:19:38.100 went to that

00:19:38.720 climate summit

00:19:39.620 and I guess the

00:19:40.800 climate summit

00:19:41.320 people are all

00:19:41.980 happy because

00:19:43.080 they made some

00:19:43.560 kind of a big

00:19:44.200 agreement to

00:19:45.340 reduce carbon.

00:19:48.080 But toward the

00:19:48.720 end, I guess

00:19:49.300 India said,

00:19:50.020 you know, you

00:19:51.320 know what would

00:19:51.740 be better than

00:19:52.920 saying we're

00:19:53.440 going to get

00:19:53.780 rid of coal?

00:19:55.680 Let's say we're

00:19:56.400 going to phase

00:19:57.120 it out.

00:19:58.660 Because we

00:19:59.180 don't want to

00:19:59.460 say we're going

00:19:59.800 to get rid of

00:20:00.380 it.

00:20:00.640 We'll just

00:20:00.920 phase it out.

00:20:01.900 Because phasing

00:20:03.300 it out is

00:20:03.800 sort of

00:20:04.120 nonspecific,

00:20:05.140 so you can

00:20:05.580 just keep

00:20:06.020 using coal.

00:20:08.260 So I'm not

00:20:09.000 sure that they

00:20:09.460 got the big

00:20:10.020 win.

00:20:12.120 But basically,

00:20:14.080 Kerry said

00:20:14.660 that we're

00:20:17.020 on the right

00:20:17.720 track now.

00:20:20.020 So Kerry

00:20:20.800 basically said

00:20:21.620 he did such

00:20:22.240 a good job

00:20:22.880 and the other

00:20:23.280 people did

00:20:23.780 such a good

00:20:24.300 job flying

00:20:25.040 over there

00:20:25.380 in their

00:20:25.620 private jets

00:20:26.360 to talk about

00:20:28.040 what we could

00:20:28.540 possibly do

00:20:29.240 to reduce

00:20:29.800 the CO2.

00:20:31.900 And they

00:20:32.420 said they

00:20:32.740 did a good

00:20:33.100 job and

00:20:33.520 we're on

00:20:34.120 the right

00:20:34.380 track now.

00:20:36.460 So climate

00:20:37.760 change is

00:20:38.280 solved.

00:20:40.620 It's kind of

00:20:41.260 a dicey

00:20:41.760 situation,

00:20:42.380 isn't it?

00:20:43.000 If you're

00:20:43.560 the climate

00:20:44.020 change czar

00:20:44.920 or guy,

00:20:46.620 you can

00:20:47.060 either say

00:20:47.600 I went

00:20:47.980 there and

00:20:48.300 I failed

00:20:48.880 or you

00:20:50.540 can say

00:20:50.820 I went

00:20:51.100 there and

00:20:51.380 succeeded

00:20:51.800 and it's

00:20:52.220 not a

00:20:52.500 problem

00:20:52.760 anymore.

00:20:55.000 We fixed

00:20:55.760 it.

00:20:56.460 I think

00:20:57.060 he said

00:20:57.400 something

00:20:57.860 suspiciously

00:20:59.520 close to

00:21:00.000 we fixed

00:21:00.480 it.

00:21:01.900 So he

00:21:04.060 says we

00:21:04.460 did realize

00:21:05.120 it and

00:21:05.460 Scott

00:21:05.700 didn't.

00:21:06.580 What are

00:21:07.020 you talking

00:21:07.340 about?

00:21:08.920 So whenever

00:21:10.360 I see this

00:21:10.840 comment,

00:21:11.420 we did

00:21:11.880 realize it

00:21:12.560 and Scott

00:21:12.860 didn't,

00:21:13.600 I know

00:21:13.880 you're a

00:21:14.180 fucking

00:21:14.400 idiot.

00:21:15.480 I don't

00:21:15.860 even know

00:21:16.080 what you're

00:21:16.300 talking about.

00:21:16.760 I don't

00:21:16.940 even know

00:21:17.160 the topic

00:21:17.680 but I

00:21:18.280 know you're

00:21:18.660 wrong.

00:21:19.840 So tell

00:21:20.200 me what

00:21:20.540 it is you

00:21:21.020 realized that

00:21:21.800 I didn't

00:21:22.220 and I'll

00:21:22.560 tell you how

00:21:22.980 you're wrong.

00:21:23.920 You want

00:21:24.920 to play

00:21:25.140 that game?

00:21:26.520 I don't

00:21:26.820 even know

00:21:27.100 the topic

00:21:27.560 and I

00:21:27.900 already know

00:21:28.220 you're

00:21:28.400 wrong because

00:21:29.000 of the way

00:21:29.340 you put

00:21:30.520 it.

00:21:31.900 OK.

00:21:35.840 I'm not

00:21:36.180 going to

00:21:36.320 see anything

00:21:36.780 on that.

00:21:39.060 All right.

00:21:41.580 So I

00:21:42.220 think we're

00:21:42.500 in pretty

00:21:42.900 good shape

00:21:43.620 there.

00:21:45.260 Our biggest

00:21:45.980 problem now

00:21:46.540 is that we've

00:21:47.220 damaged all

00:21:48.020 the children

00:21:48.500 into thinking

00:21:49.100 they have

00:21:49.420 no future

00:21:49.940 because climate

00:21:50.640 change is

00:21:51.120 going to

00:21:51.380 kill them.

00:21:52.060 It's going to

00:21:52.340 kill them.

00:21:52.740 It's going to

00:21:53.000 kill them

00:21:53.280 hard.

00:21:55.520 All right.

00:21:57.820 Here's a

00:21:58.520 tweet by

00:21:59.300 Doc Anarchy,

00:22:01.420 MD.

00:22:02.680 also known

00:22:03.520 as Dr.

00:22:04.360 Anarchist.

00:22:05.520 A very

00:22:05.900 good follow

00:22:06.560 on Twitter

00:22:08.640 if you like

00:22:09.200 to see the

00:22:09.860 contrarian

00:22:11.000 views on

00:22:11.620 a lot of

00:22:11.920 the pandemic

00:22:12.360 stuff.

00:22:13.980 And he

00:22:14.400 tweets this.

00:22:15.720 He says,

00:22:16.260 if you're

00:22:16.560 supplementing

00:22:17.220 vitamin D

00:22:17.900 without getting

00:22:18.580 any sunlight,

00:22:19.920 you may as

00:22:20.600 well be

00:22:20.960 taking a

00:22:21.520 sugar pill.

00:22:23.040 Agree or

00:22:23.600 disagree.

00:22:25.540 If you're

00:22:26.600 supplementing

00:22:27.280 vitamin D

00:22:27.800 just taking

00:22:28.260 a pill,

00:22:28.620 it's a

00:22:30.780 waste of

00:22:31.140 time if

00:22:31.580 you're

00:22:31.720 not also

00:22:32.260 getting

00:22:32.620 sunlight.

00:22:33.560 Agree or

00:22:34.120 disagree?

00:22:36.380 Agree or

00:22:37.100 disagree?

00:22:39.180 I see

00:22:39.860 lots of

00:22:40.280 disagreements.

00:22:41.800 I see

00:22:42.180 lots of

00:22:42.580 agreements.

00:22:43.520 I'll tell

00:22:44.040 you what I

00:22:44.560 think I

00:22:45.000 know, but

00:22:46.660 I would

00:22:47.120 need a

00:22:47.420 fact check

00:22:47.860 on this,

00:22:48.280 right?

00:22:48.500 I'm not

00:22:49.120 your doctor.

00:22:50.460 So this

00:22:50.780 is what I

00:22:51.240 think I

00:22:51.680 know.

00:22:52.280 And this

00:22:52.620 is based

00:22:52.980 on what I

00:22:53.560 learned during

00:22:54.000 the pandemic

00:22:54.500 about vitamin

00:22:55.160 D.

00:22:55.920 Apparently you

00:22:56.620 can't go

00:22:57.040 outside and

00:22:57.560 get enough

00:22:57.940 vitamin D.

00:22:59.800 Did you

00:23:00.340 know that?

00:23:01.480 It's not

00:23:02.040 even a

00:23:02.380 thing.

00:23:03.100 So the

00:23:03.580 thing that

00:23:03.900 everybody is

00:23:04.480 advising you,

00:23:05.440 including

00:23:05.760 Dr.

00:23:06.520 Anarchy,

00:23:07.380 it isn't

00:23:07.760 a thing.

00:23:09.360 Did you

00:23:09.900 know that?

00:23:11.040 You all

00:23:11.720 believe that

00:23:12.180 you can go

00:23:12.580 outside and

00:23:13.180 get your

00:23:13.520 vitamin D

00:23:13.960 from the

00:23:14.320 sun?

00:23:14.980 It's not

00:23:15.580 a thing.

00:23:17.080 Now I'm

00:23:17.660 exaggerating.

00:23:18.940 I'm

00:23:19.200 exaggerating.

00:23:20.420 Here's what I

00:23:21.120 mean by it's

00:23:21.600 not a thing.

00:23:22.980 The only

00:23:23.660 time it

00:23:24.120 works is

00:23:25.300 in some

00:23:25.840 climates in

00:23:27.220 some months.

00:23:29.140 I live in

00:23:29.940 California,

00:23:30.700 probably the

00:23:32.620 sunniest place

00:23:33.440 you could

00:23:33.720 possibly live,

00:23:34.940 and I can

00:23:35.920 only get

00:23:36.320 enough vitamin

00:23:37.120 D by going

00:23:37.760 outside maybe

00:23:38.580 three months

00:23:39.340 a year.

00:23:40.640 How many

00:23:41.000 of you knew

00:23:41.380 that?

00:23:42.540 That if I

00:23:43.360 just went

00:23:44.180 outside every

00:23:44.900 day in the

00:23:45.580 winter, even

00:23:46.400 in California,

00:23:47.260 where the

00:23:47.680 sun's out,

00:23:48.260 there's no

00:23:48.600 clouds, I

00:23:49.940 would not get

00:23:50.460 anywhere near

00:23:51.020 my vitamin

00:23:51.560 D level.

00:23:52.380 Do you

00:23:52.560 know that?

00:23:53.660 How many

00:23:54.240 of you knew

00:23:54.620 that?

00:23:55.380 You can't

00:23:55.980 get it by

00:23:56.480 going outside.

00:23:57.660 You can't

00:23:57.940 even get

00:23:58.200 close.

00:23:59.800 And here's

00:24:00.480 the important

00:24:00.900 part.

00:24:01.520 You can't

00:24:02.000 get close.

00:24:03.040 I'm not

00:24:03.400 saying you

00:24:03.800 get 80%.

00:24:04.660 I'm saying

00:24:05.580 you're nowhere

00:24:05.940 near it.

00:24:08.380 Now let's

00:24:09.120 say that's

00:24:10.420 not good

00:24:10.800 enough.

00:24:11.180 So you

00:24:11.400 realize that

00:24:12.020 the sun isn't

00:24:13.880 always good

00:24:14.360 enough.

00:24:14.620 Now in the

00:24:14.960 summer in

00:24:16.340 California,

00:24:16.980 yes.

00:24:18.320 And in

00:24:18.720 other places

00:24:19.260 they probably

00:24:19.720 have a month

00:24:20.120 or two

00:24:20.440 where yes.

00:24:21.440 But there

00:24:21.740 are entire

00:24:22.460 zones of

00:24:23.300 the world

00:24:23.720 where there

00:24:24.480 isn't any

00:24:25.020 time you

00:24:25.360 can go

00:24:25.640 outside.

00:24:26.760 If you

00:24:27.320 live in

00:24:27.680 Sweden,

00:24:28.940 can you

00:24:29.300 go outside

00:24:29.820 and get

00:24:30.200 vitamin D?

00:24:32.080 If you

00:24:32.620 live in

00:24:32.960 Sweden,

00:24:33.840 can you

00:24:34.240 get vitamin

00:24:34.820 D by

00:24:35.240 going outside?

00:24:36.780 Well you

00:24:37.040 get some,

00:24:38.100 but nowhere

00:24:38.680 near what

00:24:39.540 you need.

00:24:40.540 And that's

00:24:40.940 why the

00:24:41.440 people who

00:24:41.840 live in

00:24:42.380 Sweden and

00:24:42.960 nearby,

00:24:44.080 they supplement

00:24:44.980 with cod

00:24:46.360 oil.

00:24:47.160 That's my

00:24:47.560 understanding.

00:24:48.740 So that

00:24:49.160 culturally it's

00:24:50.600 a very common

00:24:51.200 thing to

00:24:51.660 supplement with

00:24:52.540 cod oil or

00:24:53.440 some other

00:24:53.980 kind of

00:24:54.360 vitamin D.

00:24:55.740 Now let's

00:24:56.940 say you

00:24:57.420 live in

00:24:57.720 America or

00:24:58.320 somewhere else

00:24:58.800 and you

00:24:59.480 just go to

00:24:59.900 the store

00:25:00.240 and you

00:25:00.460 buy some

00:25:00.820 vitamin D

00:25:01.400 in a

00:25:02.800 package.

00:25:04.060 And you

00:25:04.360 take your

00:25:04.700 vitamin D

00:25:05.240 and it's

00:25:05.520 just off

00:25:05.880 the shelf.

00:25:07.580 How good

00:25:08.660 is that

00:25:08.980 vitamin D?

00:25:09.980 If you

00:25:10.900 take a lot

00:25:11.380 of it,

00:25:12.640 I don't

00:25:13.160 want to say

00:25:13.520 what a lot

00:25:13.940 is,

00:25:14.480 but let's

00:25:14.760 say you

00:25:14.980 take something

00:25:16.620 on the

00:25:16.960 larger size

00:25:18.440 of a safe

00:25:19.300 dose,

00:25:19.780 whatever safe

00:25:20.320 is.

00:25:21.000 Is that

00:25:21.520 going to

00:25:21.700 help you?

00:25:22.720 Is that

00:25:23.220 going to

00:25:23.400 give you

00:25:23.640 the vitamin

00:25:24.040 D you

00:25:24.380 need?

00:25:25.940 Nope.

00:25:27.680 In the

00:25:28.240 hospitals,

00:25:28.740 they don't

00:25:28.960 give you a

00:25:29.360 pill because

00:25:30.020 it doesn't

00:25:30.380 work.

00:25:31.380 They're

00:25:31.760 going to

00:25:31.840 put you

00:25:32.060 on a

00:25:32.320 drip because

00:25:33.540 apparently

00:25:33.900 that does

00:25:34.400 work.

00:25:35.300 But they're

00:25:36.080 not going

00:25:36.360 to give

00:25:36.520 you a pill.

00:25:37.620 It just

00:25:37.940 doesn't

00:25:38.180 work.

00:25:39.480 Here's

00:25:39.880 another

00:25:40.140 mind blower.

00:25:41.740 You know

00:25:41.920 your vitamins

00:25:42.600 and your

00:25:43.580 supplements that

00:25:44.160 you take

00:25:44.420 once a

00:25:44.820 day?

00:25:45.500 Why do

00:25:45.880 you take

00:25:46.160 vitamins once

00:25:46.860 a day?

00:25:47.200 Does anybody

00:25:47.520 know?

00:25:48.700 Why do you

00:25:49.080 take vitamins

00:25:49.620 once a day

00:25:50.300 when there's so

00:25:51.480 many other

00:25:51.880 medicines you

00:25:52.460 might take

00:25:52.900 twice a day

00:25:53.740 or four times

00:25:54.320 a day?

00:25:54.580 Yeah, the

00:25:56.400 answer of why

00:25:57.140 you take vitamins

00:25:57.840 once a day has

00:25:58.660 nothing to do

00:25:59.340 with effectiveness.

00:26:01.580 It's marketing.

00:26:02.920 They tell you to

00:26:03.720 take it once a day

00:26:04.560 so you'll remember

00:26:05.400 it and it turns

00:26:06.700 it into habit.

00:26:07.900 Because if you

00:26:08.620 take it once a day

00:26:09.360 you usually match it

00:26:10.220 with brushing your

00:26:11.860 teeth.

00:26:12.820 Don't you?

00:26:13.240 Do most

00:26:14.560 of you match

00:26:15.160 your vitamin

00:26:15.820 taking with

00:26:16.500 your teeth

00:26:17.000 brushing?

00:26:18.080 Because that

00:26:18.520 was what the

00:26:18.960 marketing was

00:26:19.540 intended to do.

00:26:20.920 Because if you

00:26:21.640 think, well,

00:26:22.020 once a day

00:26:22.620 and it's in my

00:26:23.740 medicine cabinet,

00:26:25.080 well, I'm brushing

00:26:25.620 my teeth twice a

00:26:27.100 day, you know,

00:26:28.580 there we go.

00:26:30.680 So everything you

00:26:33.240 knew about vitamins

00:26:34.000 is probably wrong.

00:26:35.700 Years ago I tried

00:26:36.640 to start a company

00:26:37.480 in which I was

00:26:38.540 going to make a

00:26:39.480 vitamin and

00:26:40.720 vitamin fortified

00:26:42.960 product called

00:26:43.900 a dill burrito.

00:26:45.300 So a burrito

00:26:45.900 with various

00:26:47.180 flavors.

00:26:48.200 But they'd be so

00:26:48.800 fortified that if

00:26:49.640 you only ate that

00:26:50.440 burrito, you'd have

00:26:51.760 enough of everything

00:26:52.480 for the day.

00:26:53.840 And then anything

00:26:54.460 else you ate would

00:26:55.240 be bonus.

00:26:56.280 But you'd have

00:26:56.720 everything you need

00:26:57.340 if you did one

00:26:57.940 burrito.

00:26:59.220 Do you know it

00:26:59.780 was impossible to

00:27:00.700 do that?

00:27:02.060 It couldn't be

00:27:02.580 done.

00:27:02.820 And when I

00:27:04.760 studied, can you

00:27:06.020 get enough vitamins

00:27:07.060 and minerals from

00:27:07.800 just a good diet?

00:27:09.420 Do you know you

00:27:09.960 can't come close?

00:27:12.040 How many of you

00:27:12.680 knew that if you

00:27:14.000 have a really good

00:27:14.860 diet, you just,

00:27:16.260 let's say it's a

00:27:16.980 Mediterranean, pick

00:27:18.720 whatever's your best

00:27:19.460 diet.

00:27:19.900 One that's got lots

00:27:20.720 of nuts and

00:27:21.400 vegetables and green

00:27:23.020 leafy vegetables and

00:27:24.180 you're eating lean

00:27:24.940 protein.

00:27:25.700 You're doing

00:27:26.300 everything right.

00:27:28.140 How close do you

00:27:29.060 get to the daily

00:27:30.720 recommended vitamins

00:27:31.840 and minerals?

00:27:32.320 Does anybody

00:27:33.000 know?

00:27:34.200 With a perfect

00:27:35.480 diet, how close

00:27:37.300 do you get to

00:27:38.040 your recommended

00:27:38.640 vitamins and

00:27:39.380 minerals?

00:27:41.520 Maybe 30%?

00:27:43.560 That's it.

00:27:44.560 You don't even

00:27:44.980 get close.

00:27:45.960 If you do the

00:27:46.760 math of what

00:27:48.340 you eat and

00:27:49.400 then, you know,

00:27:50.360 and what vitamins

00:27:51.220 are in there,

00:27:51.640 because it's usually

00:27:52.180 on the packaging

00:27:52.940 or you can look

00:27:53.660 it up, and then

00:27:54.740 compare that to

00:27:56.320 what the government

00:27:57.400 says you need,

00:27:58.640 it's not even

00:27:59.140 close.

00:28:00.240 You cannot eat a

00:28:01.800 balanced meal.

00:28:02.740 Now, go to your

00:28:03.360 doctor and say,

00:28:04.920 should I take a

00:28:05.740 multivitamin?

00:28:07.000 What's your doctor

00:28:07.800 going to say?

00:28:09.020 Well, it depends.

00:28:10.340 But your doctor

00:28:10.860 might say, no,

00:28:12.360 you don't need a

00:28:13.020 multivitamin if you're

00:28:14.360 eating a good

00:28:15.080 balanced meal.

00:28:17.180 Is that true?

00:28:18.000 Well, it might be true

00:28:20.500 that you don't need

00:28:21.200 it, which is a

00:28:22.260 separate question

00:28:22.960 from, can you get

00:28:24.380 anywhere near the

00:28:25.240 recommended minimums?

00:28:26.680 You can't.

00:28:27.960 There is no such

00:28:29.000 thing as eating a

00:28:30.100 good diet that gets

00:28:30.980 you to vitamins and

00:28:32.400 minerals that you

00:28:32.960 need.

00:28:33.220 You can't get there.

00:28:33.940 Not even close.

00:28:35.380 Do the math

00:28:35.900 yourself.

00:28:36.400 You can prove it

00:28:36.920 to yourself.

00:28:37.820 You know, I did

00:28:38.320 the math.

00:28:40.460 So, very much like

00:28:41.560 vitamin D, we have

00:28:42.720 this myth that you

00:28:44.820 can get it.

00:28:45.440 Do you know how

00:28:47.040 you can get more

00:28:47.660 vitamin D?

00:28:49.540 Neither do I.

00:28:51.440 Neither do I.

00:28:52.560 Do you know how

00:28:53.000 you can get enough

00:28:54.400 vitamins and minerals

00:28:55.360 in the right kind of

00:28:56.420 usable form?

00:28:58.320 Beats me.

00:28:59.060 I don't think it's

00:28:59.620 possible.

00:29:00.720 I don't think there's

00:29:01.260 any way to do it.

00:29:02.380 Because the supplements

00:29:03.340 don't make that much

00:29:04.340 of a difference.

00:29:05.880 And a good diet

00:29:07.440 doesn't get you

00:29:08.000 anywhere near it.

00:29:09.820 So, can you get all

00:29:11.180 your vitamins and

00:29:11.860 minerals?

00:29:12.240 I don't think so.

00:29:13.620 Can you get all the

00:29:14.380 vitamin D you want?

00:29:15.440 As far as I know,

00:29:16.520 no.

00:29:17.420 There isn't any way

00:29:18.240 to do it, unless

00:29:19.340 you're hospitalized.

00:29:20.460 And then you can.

00:29:22.700 Right?

00:29:23.240 So, some of these

00:29:24.720 things that we just

00:29:25.320 take for granted

00:29:26.120 are just, it's sort

00:29:27.860 of like that, don't

00:29:29.220 go swimming within an

00:29:30.400 hour of eating.

00:29:31.800 How many of you

00:29:32.660 still believe that

00:29:35.000 it's dangerous to go

00:29:35.960 swimming within an

00:29:37.320 hour of eating?

00:29:38.340 Because you'll get

00:29:38.900 cramps.

00:29:39.840 Do any of you still

00:29:40.560 believe that's true?

00:29:42.040 Because it's been

00:29:42.700 debunked.

00:29:43.240 Yeah, I mean,

00:29:46.120 when I grew up,

00:29:46.700 that would seem

00:29:47.400 to be true.

00:29:47.980 Even though it was

00:29:48.500 obviously not true

00:29:49.400 because we always

00:29:50.080 ate and went

00:29:50.500 swimming.

00:29:51.080 We never got any

00:29:51.940 cramps.

00:29:52.880 It was pretty obvious

00:29:53.640 that it wasn't much

00:29:54.480 of a risk.

00:29:57.440 All right.

00:30:01.040 I found a new way

00:30:02.140 to determine who

00:30:02.860 the NPCs are.

00:30:04.320 You know, the

00:30:04.800 non-player characters.

00:30:06.600 The people in our

00:30:07.380 environment, assuming

00:30:08.440 we are a simulation

00:30:09.440 simulation and not

00:30:10.480 a real society,

00:30:12.360 which I think is

00:30:12.920 fair, the odds

00:30:14.660 are we're a

00:30:15.080 simulation.

00:30:16.380 How do you tell

00:30:17.200 who are the NPCs

00:30:18.340 and who are

00:30:19.060 actually avatars

00:30:20.840 that are, you

00:30:21.700 know, in the game?

00:30:23.340 Well, I don't know,

00:30:24.360 but I'm looking for

00:30:25.020 tells, and here's

00:30:25.900 one of them.

00:30:27.100 Some of my critics

00:30:28.100 keep telling me that

00:30:29.300 I have a flaw

00:30:31.160 and that when the

00:30:33.500 data changes, I

00:30:34.500 sometimes change my

00:30:35.500 opinion.

00:30:35.840 And they say this

00:30:38.140 in public.

00:30:40.980 They say it in

00:30:41.840 public.

00:30:44.380 That when I change

00:30:45.580 my opinion based

00:30:46.520 on the data itself

00:30:47.640 changing, or having

00:30:49.520 new data, that

00:30:51.380 that's a flaw in

00:30:52.200 me, that I should

00:30:53.600 keep my same

00:30:54.320 opinion no matter

00:30:56.080 what we learn.

00:30:58.240 And they say this

00:30:59.300 right out loud,

00:31:00.160 right in public.

00:31:02.900 Now, they can't

00:31:04.440 be real people,

00:31:05.460 can they?

00:31:05.860 How could they

00:31:08.000 possibly be real

00:31:08.840 people?

00:31:09.760 They have to be

00:31:10.420 NPCs.

00:31:11.480 They must be

00:31:12.040 programmed with

00:31:12.860 some limited

00:31:14.080 number of

00:31:14.680 responses, and

00:31:15.740 that's just one

00:31:16.400 of the limited

00:31:16.880 responses.

00:31:18.100 Because nothing

00:31:18.920 that could think

00:31:19.680 independently would

00:31:21.280 have that opinion,

00:31:22.580 right?

00:31:25.160 All right, here's

00:31:25.940 another one.

00:31:28.120 My critics keep

00:31:29.300 telling me that I'm

00:31:30.860 wrong when I make

00:31:32.900 a statistical

00:31:34.620 prediction.

00:31:36.820 If I say

00:31:37.360 something's like

00:31:37.980 75% chance of

00:31:39.560 happening, and

00:31:40.960 then it doesn't

00:31:41.600 happen, people

00:31:43.600 say you were

00:31:44.260 wrong.

00:31:45.660 That might be an

00:31:46.800 NPC situation, too.

00:31:48.920 Because if I say

00:31:49.680 there's a 75% chance

00:31:51.520 of something

00:31:51.880 happening, and it

00:31:52.740 doesn't happen,

00:31:53.280 that doesn't mean

00:31:54.700 I'm wrong.

00:31:56.580 I mean, I could

00:31:57.500 also be wrong,

00:31:58.740 because I may have

00:31:59.580 calculated the odds

00:32:00.580 incorrectly.

00:32:01.080 But that's a

00:32:02.100 different error.

00:32:03.440 You're not wrong

00:32:04.380 about what happened,

00:32:05.360 because you just

00:32:06.040 put a statistical

00:32:06.880 likelihood on it.

00:32:07.760 That's all you did.

00:32:09.200 So if you think

00:32:10.240 that means somebody

00:32:10.980 is wrong, or you

00:32:12.440 feel you have

00:32:12.920 certainty when no

00:32:13.820 certainty is called

00:32:15.400 for, here's another

00:32:16.800 tell.

00:32:18.600 If you're certain

00:32:19.740 you made the right

00:32:21.300 choice on the

00:32:21.880 vaccination, you

00:32:22.760 might be an NPC.

00:32:25.300 Now, the exception

00:32:26.380 would be people

00:32:27.200 who have specific

00:32:28.660 medical problems.

00:32:29.740 There are some

00:32:31.280 people who have

00:32:31.920 the extremes, and

00:32:34.140 you could be pretty

00:32:34.760 confident you made

00:32:35.460 the right decision.

00:32:36.440 But if you're

00:32:36.860 anywhere in the

00:32:37.340 middle, and I

00:32:38.720 think I'm somewhere

00:32:39.400 in that middle

00:32:39.900 zone, where it's

00:32:41.120 not completely

00:32:42.120 obvious which way

00:32:43.700 to go, because I'm

00:32:46.300 fit, but I have

00:32:47.380 one comorbidity, I

00:32:49.000 don't know if it's

00:32:49.440 the bad one, asthma,

00:32:51.920 who knows?

00:32:52.820 So I can't

00:32:53.580 calculate my own

00:32:54.340 risk.

00:32:54.660 If you think that

00:32:56.100 you can tell if I

00:32:57.280 made the right

00:32:57.820 decision, you might

00:32:59.260 be an NPC, because

00:33:00.240 I can't tell.

00:33:01.600 I can't tell if I

00:33:02.640 made the right

00:33:03.040 decision.

00:33:04.340 Let me ask you

00:33:05.160 right here.

00:33:06.440 How many of you, so

00:33:07.620 I decided to get

00:33:08.460 vaccinated.

00:33:09.560 So I have two

00:33:10.520 shots so far, I

00:33:11.620 haven't made a

00:33:12.180 decision about the

00:33:12.940 booster.

00:33:14.000 Probably I'll get

00:33:14.760 one, but I haven't

00:33:16.540 made a decision yet.

00:33:17.920 I'll wait as long

00:33:18.840 as I feel comfortable

00:33:20.240 waiting before I make

00:33:21.360 a decision.

00:33:21.760 How many of you

00:33:23.240 are positive I

00:33:24.760 made the wrong

00:33:25.440 decision?

00:33:26.160 Go.

00:33:28.560 Not people who

00:33:29.560 think I likely

00:33:30.520 made the wrong

00:33:31.140 decision, but how

00:33:32.520 many are positive I

00:33:33.780 made the wrong

00:33:34.460 decision?

00:33:35.380 Go.

00:33:40.820 I think I

00:33:42.020 scared away all

00:33:42.700 the NPCs.

00:33:44.840 It's unknowable.

00:33:46.780 Right.

00:33:47.520 So why would

00:33:48.600 anybody criticize

00:33:49.380 me for my

00:33:50.120 choice?

00:33:51.760 How could you

00:33:53.000 criticize anybody

00:33:53.780 for their choice

00:33:54.480 if they're anywhere

00:33:55.140 in this middle

00:33:55.980 zone where I am?

00:33:57.720 Most of you are

00:33:58.400 in the middle

00:33:58.780 zone, right?

00:33:59.780 Most of you don't

00:34:00.500 have a clear-cut,

00:34:02.300 you know, I have

00:34:02.840 three comorbidities

00:34:03.960 or a clear-cut,

00:34:05.180 I'm 12 years old

00:34:06.160 and I don't talk

00:34:07.380 to people,

00:34:08.000 anything like

00:34:08.460 that.

00:34:15.860 Mandators.

00:34:16.380 Now, there is

00:34:19.120 also a persistent

00:34:20.140 rumor that I'm a

00:34:21.460 big supporter of

00:34:22.280 mandates.

00:34:23.860 Does anybody

00:34:24.540 think that?

00:34:25.960 How many of you

00:34:26.820 think I'm a big

00:34:27.580 supporter of

00:34:28.200 mandates?

00:34:30.640 That's literally the

00:34:31.600 opposite of what I

00:34:32.340 am, isn't it?

00:34:33.800 Now, I think this

00:34:34.760 came from saying

00:34:36.180 that the first two,

00:34:37.460 was it two weeks?

00:34:38.360 We were going to

00:34:38.780 lock down for two

00:34:39.540 weeks.

00:34:40.700 I definitely

00:34:41.480 favored that.

00:34:42.940 Now, when I say

00:34:43.660 I favored it, I

00:34:44.400 mean I didn't

00:34:45.000 disagree with it,

00:34:46.480 which is different

00:34:47.160 than favoring it,

00:34:48.100 I guess.

00:34:48.940 I would say I

00:34:49.540 didn't push back

00:34:50.320 on it because I

00:34:50.840 thought, well,

00:34:51.220 it's worth a try.

00:34:52.680 If there are

00:34:53.300 enough experts that

00:34:54.260 think this is

00:34:54.840 worth a try,

00:34:56.180 and it's the fog

00:34:56.940 of war and we

00:34:57.620 don't know any

00:34:58.100 better, two weeks

00:35:00.360 is like a good

00:35:01.360 risk-reward kind

00:35:02.460 of thing.

00:35:03.240 But after that,

00:35:04.220 it sort of

00:35:05.100 rapidly became

00:35:06.020 clear that that

00:35:07.320 wasn't going to

00:35:07.800 be the answer.

00:35:12.500 Yeah.

00:35:13.420 I've repeated.

00:35:14.180 So, but I

00:35:14.980 did say the

00:35:15.820 first two weeks

00:35:16.500 was worth a

00:35:17.420 shot, low

00:35:18.700 risk.

00:35:24.640 Then start

00:35:25.420 persuading against

00:35:26.440 mandates.

00:35:27.400 Well, you

00:35:27.660 think I'm not?

00:35:29.440 Do you think I

00:35:30.320 haven't persuaded

00:35:31.140 against mandates?

00:35:34.020 I tell you almost

00:35:35.100 every time I'm on

00:35:35.840 here, I'm against

00:35:36.460 it.

00:35:37.320 But I think the

00:35:39.000 mandates are really

00:35:39.720 just a power

00:35:40.320 question.

00:35:41.660 Just a power

00:35:42.320 question.

00:35:42.720 The public has

00:35:44.060 the power, but

00:35:44.940 they have to

00:35:45.560 take it, right?

00:35:48.160 It's not just, it's

00:35:49.680 not automatic.

00:35:50.560 They just have to

00:35:51.080 have enough people

00:35:51.720 on one side and

00:35:52.420 then they just

00:35:52.800 take the power.

00:35:54.780 The golden years,

00:35:56.240 yeah, I think the

00:35:56.820 golden years are

00:35:57.580 right on track.

00:35:59.380 Sometimes it looks

00:36:00.200 darkest before the

00:36:01.240 dawn, but all of

00:36:02.500 this stuff that's

00:36:04.500 happening that's

00:36:05.200 making us rethink

00:36:06.160 civilization fairly

00:36:07.600 fundamentally, is

00:36:09.020 what we needed to

00:36:09.800 do.

00:36:11.260 You know,

00:36:12.280 I think the

00:36:17.660 golden age is

00:36:18.280 still looking very

00:36:19.020 good, actually.

00:36:19.920 I'm very happy

00:36:20.700 about it.

00:36:20.980 The only thing

00:36:21.340 that scares me is

00:36:22.000 inflation at the

00:36:23.000 moment.

00:36:27.540 Let's see.

00:36:28.960 I saw an

00:36:29.660 interesting thread

00:36:31.080 by Michael

00:36:31.920 Bang-Peterson,

00:36:33.580 who has many

00:36:34.900 qualifications that

00:36:36.040 make him qualified

00:36:36.860 to say this sort

00:36:37.540 of thing, and

00:36:38.640 his thread, I'll

00:36:39.720 summarize it, he

00:36:41.740 thinks that trying

00:36:44.920 to force the

00:36:45.880 unvaccinated will

00:36:47.020 only strengthen

00:36:47.940 their resistance

00:36:49.500 and cause

00:36:50.380 terrorism.

00:36:51.820 What do you

00:36:52.180 think?

00:36:53.340 So his view is

00:36:55.240 that once you've

00:36:56.640 got all the easy

00:36:57.540 to persuade people

00:36:58.560 on board, that

00:37:00.500 if you try too

00:37:01.360 hard with the

00:37:02.180 unvaccinated people,

00:37:03.420 it's going to

00:37:04.060 backfire.

00:37:05.640 That feels right

00:37:06.800 to me.

00:37:07.540 So everything I

00:37:08.200 know about

00:37:08.580 persuasion says

00:37:09.520 yes, yes, and

00:37:10.580 yes.

00:37:11.560 Completely right.

00:37:13.040 So, let's say

00:37:14.980 that you wanted

00:37:17.320 to persuade this

00:37:18.740 group, but you

00:37:21.400 didn't want to

00:37:22.000 make it mandatory

00:37:23.260 because you

00:37:25.420 honestly believed

00:37:26.760 it would be good

00:37:27.380 for them and

00:37:27.940 good for the

00:37:28.360 world, but you

00:37:30.500 still want to

00:37:31.060 give them their

00:37:31.660 freedom to make

00:37:32.740 the choice.

00:37:33.200 how would you

00:37:34.640 persuade them?

00:37:36.380 Now, you could

00:37:37.200 argue that it's

00:37:37.880 unethical, right?

00:37:39.580 You could argue

00:37:40.400 that it would be

00:37:40.900 unethical to

00:37:41.680 persuade people, but

00:37:43.240 I'm going to give

00:37:43.840 you what I think is

00:37:45.060 the most ethical

00:37:46.080 persuasion, and even

00:37:48.800 this is a little

00:37:49.400 sketchy.

00:37:50.480 It goes like this.

00:37:52.660 The fake because.

00:37:55.360 The fake because.

00:37:57.720 But maybe a little

00:37:58.620 bit real in this

00:37:59.560 case.

00:38:00.220 Here's what I

00:38:00.900 mean.

00:38:01.740 Imagine, if you

00:38:02.500 will, that there's

00:38:03.200 something that the

00:38:04.100 anti-vaxxers have in

00:38:05.340 common.

00:38:06.640 Is there anything

00:38:07.360 they have in

00:38:07.780 common?

00:38:09.120 I think so.

00:38:10.400 I think within the

00:38:11.380 conservative anti-vaxxers,

00:38:12.980 what they have in

00:38:13.540 common is probably

00:38:15.660 conservative, wouldn't

00:38:17.140 you say?

00:38:18.160 And also pro-gun,

00:38:21.600 wouldn't you say?

00:38:23.660 So, this will never

00:38:24.700 happen, but I'm going

00:38:25.620 to give you an idea

00:38:26.360 of the concept.

00:38:28.080 Suppose Biden said,

00:38:29.620 you know, damn

00:38:30.980 it, the most

00:38:31.580 important thing in

00:38:32.280 the country is to

00:38:32.920 get people vaccinated.

00:38:34.420 Now, I'm not saying

00:38:35.180 that, but suppose he

00:38:36.280 did, suppose he

00:38:37.640 believed it, and he

00:38:39.140 was doing what he

00:38:39.820 thought was best for

00:38:40.800 the country, so

00:38:41.520 there's no bad

00:38:42.040 intention in this

00:38:43.020 hypothetical.

00:38:45.220 And suppose he

00:38:46.000 said, you know,

00:38:47.100 this is our biggest

00:38:48.020 thing.

00:38:49.540 Here's the deal I'm

00:38:50.800 going to make.

00:38:51.980 For one year, or

00:38:54.100 let's say as long

00:38:54.980 as I'm in office, I

00:38:56.540 won't sign any gun

00:38:58.080 legislation, but you

00:39:00.880 have to get

00:39:01.360 vaccinated.

00:39:02.420 We have to get to

00:39:03.300 85% vaccinated, and

00:39:05.820 if we don't, I'm

00:39:06.580 going to sign every

00:39:07.180 gun law that

00:39:08.300 Congress gives me.

00:39:10.240 But if you get

00:39:11.840 vaccinated at 85%,

00:39:13.540 I'm going to back

00:39:15.200 off, I'm just going

00:39:16.140 to wait, you know,

00:39:16.940 I'm not going to say

00:39:17.440 I'm against it or

00:39:18.080 for it, I just

00:39:18.680 won't sign anything

00:39:19.540 for my term.

00:39:21.180 Nothing on guns.

00:39:22.080 What do you

00:39:24.380 think?

00:39:26.740 Now, if the gun idea

00:39:32.240 is too radical, and

00:39:33.880 it is, I mean, I

00:39:34.940 use it for effect,

00:39:36.320 imagine if there's

00:39:37.280 something else.

00:39:38.800 Suppose he said to

00:39:39.740 you, I won't raise

00:39:40.600 taxes.

00:39:42.500 I won't raise taxes

00:39:44.000 if you get

00:39:45.700 vaccinated, up to

00:39:47.100 85% of you.

00:39:48.980 Is there anything

00:39:50.080 that Biden could

00:39:51.100 offer, or the

00:39:51.960 government could

00:39:52.480 offer, that would

00:39:53.980 get you to say,

00:39:54.780 damn it, I was

00:39:56.700 sort of close to

00:39:57.660 the edge, but, you

00:39:58.900 know, leaning on

00:39:59.640 VAX, but now you

00:40:01.540 offered me something

00:40:02.320 that, ugh, I kind

00:40:03.960 of do want that.

00:40:05.840 How about this?

00:40:07.520 Are you ready?

00:40:09.380 How about this

00:40:10.220 one?

00:40:12.160 Since critical race

00:40:13.440 theory is not taught

00:40:14.600 in schools, it

00:40:16.420 should be easy to

00:40:17.400 get people to agree

00:40:18.320 to remove it.

00:40:20.080 Because nobody, as

00:40:21.860 Adam Dopamine pointed

00:40:23.280 out on Twitter

00:40:23.880 today, nobody is

00:40:25.600 complaining, if you

00:40:27.900 asked to get rid of

00:40:29.020 Bigfoot in the

00:40:30.160 schools, would

00:40:31.040 anybody complain?

00:40:33.540 Well, not in a

00:40:34.740 normal way they

00:40:35.620 wouldn't complain,

00:40:36.200 they would call you

00:40:36.660 crazy, but they

00:40:37.880 wouldn't complain

00:40:38.480 about it, because

00:40:39.100 they'd say, well, we

00:40:39.820 don't have Bigfoot in

00:40:40.960 our schools, so, yeah,

00:40:42.380 you can get rid of

00:40:43.120 it.

00:40:43.920 The left is saying

00:40:45.000 they don't have

00:40:45.560 critical race theory,

00:40:47.160 so why would they

00:40:48.480 complain about getting

00:40:49.300 rid of it?

00:40:50.080 So why not offer, I'll

00:40:52.240 tell you what, I'll

00:40:53.760 create a commission to

00:40:55.780 look for critical race

00:40:56.920 theory in schools, and

00:40:58.500 we'll get rid of it, but

00:41:00.380 you've got to get

00:41:00.800 vaccinated.

00:41:03.080 Okay, again, that will

00:41:04.220 never happen.

00:41:05.340 But the point is, is

00:41:07.000 there any kind of a

00:41:08.020 deal Biden can make so

00:41:10.200 that he's not forcing

00:41:11.360 people to turn into

00:41:12.780 terrorists by resisting

00:41:14.900 the mandates?

00:41:15.460 could he buy their

00:41:18.200 cooperation as

00:41:19.820 opposed to forcing

00:41:21.680 it?

00:41:22.380 Because if somebody

00:41:23.360 agrees to the deal,

00:41:25.760 yeah, okay, damn it,

00:41:27.700 I'll take that deal,

00:41:29.060 then they don't become

00:41:29.960 terrorists, because they

00:41:30.920 say, well, this is the

00:41:31.700 deal I agreed to.

00:41:34.420 Anyway, I don't see the

00:41:35.640 exact way to solve this,

00:41:37.300 but I think thinking of

00:41:38.660 it in terms of a deal

00:41:39.900 might be more productive

00:41:41.760 than thinking of it as a

00:41:43.380 mandate.

00:41:43.740 Does anybody agree with

00:41:45.720 the concept that turning

00:41:48.260 into a voluntary deal of

00:41:52.220 some sort is the only way

00:41:54.240 this could work?

00:41:55.380 It's got to be turned into

00:41:56.580 a non-band-aid that still

00:41:58.680 has, you know, some

00:41:59.700 persuasive power if you

00:42:00.960 wanted to do it.

00:42:02.500 Now, you may be opposed

00:42:04.740 to anything that moves

00:42:06.660 people toward vaccinations,

00:42:07.860 but that's a separate

00:42:08.420 question.

00:42:08.760 Here's another way to get

00:42:14.780 things done persuasively.

00:42:16.940 You know, as I was saying,

00:42:17.880 since the left says that

00:42:19.180 critical race theory doesn't

00:42:20.380 exist in schools, only in

00:42:22.620 colleges, because it's a

00:42:23.940 college-level course, and the

00:42:26.900 right says, it sure does, we

00:42:28.440 can see plenty of examples of

00:42:29.880 it in the written

00:42:30.620 documentation.

00:42:31.600 It's all over.

00:42:32.220 One way to do this would be to

00:42:35.900 argue, no, no, CRT is there,

00:42:38.860 and then they say it isn't, and

00:42:40.380 then you're kind of done,

00:42:41.300 because you're arguing

00:42:41.940 definitions.

00:42:43.500 The other way to do it, and

00:42:45.080 this is good persuasion, is to

00:42:47.200 enter their frame.

00:42:49.740 Now, you have to kind of know

00:42:51.040 what you're doing to make this

00:42:52.540 one work.

00:42:53.140 This is sort of a high-level

00:42:54.420 persuasion.

00:42:55.600 But if you enter their frame, it

00:42:57.960 means accepting their frame and

00:42:59.600 then breaking it from the

00:43:00.620 inside.

00:43:02.420 And so let's say you accepted

00:43:03.660 their frame that it doesn't

00:43:04.860 exist, that there's no CRT.

00:43:08.640 You know it's there, but you

00:43:10.640 accept their frame.

00:43:11.520 You know, you're right.

00:43:12.840 There is no CRT, but you know

00:43:14.660 it would be great if we could do

00:43:16.560 a full audit and give that to

00:43:18.400 the conservatives and prove to

00:43:20.180 them that there's no CRT.

00:43:22.100 Would you let us prove your case?

00:43:25.380 Let us help you, because you're

00:43:27.680 making the case that there's no

00:43:28.880 CRT, and the conservatives are not

00:43:31.760 believing you.

00:43:32.760 So let us do an audit.

00:43:34.640 We'll call out each of the

00:43:36.080 instances that we think, you

00:43:38.440 know, might look like it, and

00:43:39.980 then you can show us how that's

00:43:41.380 not actually part, could not be

00:43:43.820 called critical race theory.

00:43:45.460 So how about we help you make your

00:43:47.820 case?

00:43:48.420 That's entering their frame.

00:43:50.380 Now, how does anybody object to

00:43:52.560 you helping them win their

00:43:53.720 argument?

00:43:55.280 It's hard, right?

00:43:57.060 No, we're on your side.

00:43:58.180 We're going to help you win this

00:43:59.120 argument by auditing and proving

00:44:01.700 there's no critical race theory.

00:44:05.620 I'm not saying that would work.

00:44:06.980 It's just an example of how to

00:44:08.480 enter somebody's frame and break it

00:44:10.320 from the inside.

00:44:11.280 Usually that's on things that are

00:44:13.320 really, really contentious.

00:44:14.780 That's sort of the only way to do

00:44:15.940 it.

00:44:16.660 I don't think there's a second way to

00:44:17.980 do it.

00:44:19.680 All right.

00:44:20.180 It looks like the polls are speaking

00:44:23.800 loudly that some ABC poll, that's a

00:44:27.620 new one, said that 51% of registered

00:44:30.000 voters say they'd support the GOP

00:44:32.620 candidate in the district, and only

00:44:34.180 41% say the Democrats.

00:44:37.140 That's the biggest lead for Republicans

00:44:39.420 in this poll in 40 years.

00:44:43.180 The GOP has the biggest lead in 40

00:44:48.120 years.

00:44:49.080 Do you know what this doesn't include?

00:44:53.160 Massive Democrat retirements, which

00:44:56.300 are also predicted.

00:44:58.740 So we have an unprecedented poll

00:45:01.780 differential.

00:45:03.900 Also, on top of it, unprecedented number

00:45:07.260 of Democrats going to retire on top of

00:45:10.600 it, and we're only 11 months in,

00:45:13.680 people.

00:45:16.160 This is just the first year of the,

00:45:18.780 this is just the first year of

00:45:23.740 Biden.

00:45:25.960 And it looks like just everything just

00:45:27.740 keeps getting worse, according to the

00:45:29.540 public.

00:45:29.800 So, you know, people talk about the

00:45:32.760 Great Reset.

00:45:34.400 Well, apparently the Great Reset is

00:45:36.260 coming in 2022, but it's not what

00:45:38.560 people thought it would be.

00:45:39.620 It looks like the Great Reset is

00:45:41.760 people realizing that the Democrat

00:45:43.460 policies just didn't work, and that

00:45:45.860 your news is all fake.

00:45:48.660 Now, there is a possible tipping point

00:45:51.860 coming.

00:45:53.100 It goes like this.

00:45:54.480 If you're on one side, let's say you're

00:45:56.520 a hardcore Democrat, and you're watching

00:45:59.300 the news, and you find out that your

00:46:00.820 news source got something wrong, and they

00:46:03.620 sort of fooled you, you say, well, they

00:46:06.480 got everything else right.

00:46:07.600 I'm going to give them a pass for getting

00:46:09.800 that one thing wrong there.

00:46:11.400 Then they get a second thing wrong.

00:46:13.500 You say, well, damn it, that's two

00:46:15.120 things wrong.

00:46:16.340 But still, all the other stuff is

00:46:18.140 right.

00:46:19.180 So, you know, nobody's perfect.

00:46:21.040 Two things wrong.

00:46:22.200 I'll let that go.

00:46:24.000 But we've now reached a level of

00:46:26.200 hoaxes that are confirmed hoaxes that

00:46:29.760 it's sort of crazy to imagine that this is

00:46:32.320 anything except planned, organized,

00:46:35.200 persuasive, and the new texture of the

00:46:38.220 news, that it's fake.

00:46:40.600 I feel like the Democrats are going to

00:46:42.580 notice.

00:46:45.620 They're going to eventually notice that

00:46:48.240 everything is fake.

00:46:49.360 At least the political news is pretty much

00:46:51.200 100% fake news.

00:46:52.280 And I think that there's some tipping point

00:46:57.980 that's coming where even the Democrats are

00:47:00.520 going to say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:47:02.560 I've been believing this stuff for the last

00:47:04.380 five years.

00:47:05.680 And now I can see that all this stuff lately

00:47:07.720 is fake.

00:47:09.000 What about this stuff I believed?

00:47:12.620 We're right there.

00:47:14.560 Now, people go to their teams so strongly

00:47:17.440 that massive amounts of confirmation bias

00:47:20.420 and cognitive dissonance will keep them

00:47:23.160 where they are despite all evidence

00:47:24.800 changing, all data changing, despite

00:47:27.180 better arguments, despite anything they

00:47:29.040 find out.

00:47:30.020 Right?

00:47:30.180 It's really sticky.

00:47:32.300 But it's not unbreakable.

00:47:35.180 Right?

00:47:36.060 Cognitive dissonance is super strong,

00:47:38.820 but not unbreakable.

00:47:40.520 There is some amount that will convince

00:47:44.120 you that Hitler did actually kill a lot

00:47:46.420 of Jews, if you know what I mean.

00:47:48.260 There had to be some point in World War II.

00:47:50.040 I'm no historian, so this may be a bad

00:47:52.620 example.

00:47:53.580 There had to be some point where people

00:47:55.800 were just denying the obvious.

00:47:57.840 Don't you think?

00:47:59.260 People were like, oh, that can't be

00:48:01.160 happening.

00:48:02.260 I don't think that's really happening.

00:48:03.800 Is it?

00:48:04.240 Is it really happening?

00:48:05.020 I don't think it's really happening.

00:48:06.520 Because you would have to act radically

00:48:08.280 differently if you knew it was happening.

00:48:11.580 But then there reached a point where you

00:48:13.420 just couldn't possibly deny it

00:48:16.240 anymore.

00:48:17.120 Right?

00:48:17.700 So no matter how much cognitive

00:48:19.360 dissonance you have, it's still

00:48:20.840 vulnerable.

00:48:22.340 It's just hard.

00:48:23.500 And I think we've reached the mountain

00:48:25.940 of fake news that's confirmed fake news

00:48:28.740 that even people on the left are going to

00:48:31.760 say, oh, God, I didn't realize how bad it

00:48:34.500 was.

00:48:35.180 And I have to admit, I didn't realize how

00:48:36.780 bad it was either.

00:48:38.200 I thought it was bad.

00:48:40.200 You know, you've watched me talk about

00:48:41.480 the fake news for five-plus years, some of you.

00:48:44.540 So obviously, I knew it was bad.

00:48:47.540 But I didn't know it was this bad.

00:48:49.820 Did you?

00:48:51.160 I mean, this is actually surprising.

00:48:53.120 I'm pretty skeptical about how bad things can

00:48:56.800 be with information.

00:48:59.320 But even I didn't know it was this bad.

00:49:01.440 I mean, I was kind of fooled.

00:49:03.680 And I was definitely leaning very hard in the

00:49:07.540 fake news direction.

00:49:08.640 And I'm actually amazed.

00:49:12.820 All right.

00:49:14.180 General Flynn suggested in some conservative

00:49:17.640 meeting, I guess, recently, if we're going to

00:49:19.700 have one nation under God, which we must, we

00:49:22.840 have to have one religion.

00:49:24.520 One nation under God and one religion under

00:49:26.720 God.

00:49:27.600 So I want to say officially that General Flynn

00:49:30.040 is dead to me.

00:49:32.520 All right.

00:49:32.920 So I was a big supporter of him getting out of

00:49:36.200 his legal jeopardy because I didn't think any of that

00:49:38.240 was fair.

00:49:39.100 But this opinion is a sufficiently crazy town that

00:49:43.420 you need to start ignoring him at this point.

00:49:46.600 Now, he'd said some other things that I thought

00:49:48.140 were sketchy.

00:49:49.100 And I thought, oh, but that's a different issue.

00:49:51.940 You know, he's still being legally railroaded.

00:49:54.440 So I was more about the legally railroaded part.

00:49:57.020 But once you see him free and talking, he's a nut

00:50:00.880 job and you shouldn't pay any attention to him.

00:50:03.120 Like, the worst thing in the world would be for him to have

00:50:07.400 any authority in government, I think.

00:50:10.260 Now, this is nothing against your religion, by the way.

00:50:14.200 I'm pro-religion.

00:50:16.000 I'm pro-religion.

00:50:17.220 But it's the United States.

00:50:22.520 Still the United States.

00:50:25.040 And one religion?

00:50:26.340 No.

00:50:27.640 No, no, no.

00:50:29.560 No and no.

00:50:30.320 Oh, somebody's saying Flynn did not say that.

00:50:34.920 Does anybody else have that?

00:50:36.560 Is that fake news?

00:50:38.920 Is the quote a fake news?

00:50:40.620 Because I'm looking at something that's in quotes,

00:50:46.400 but is it fake news?

00:50:47.620 I'm actually willing to believe that.

00:50:52.120 All right.

00:50:53.140 Send me a link to anything that would show that's fake news.

00:50:58.880 So I'll read it again.

00:51:00.220 So this is in quotation marks.

00:51:02.980 So allegedly, this is a quote.

00:51:04.620 And you're going to tell me today with a link that's fake news.

00:51:08.440 Or maybe taking that out of context.

00:51:10.760 Is there a way that this could be taken out of context?

00:51:13.320 Because it doesn't look like it could be,

00:51:15.000 but that's how you get fooled.

00:51:18.100 Are both sides reporting it?

00:51:21.360 Well, Fox News reported it, and he's their guy.

00:51:26.220 So, but that's a good question.

00:51:29.060 CNN, you'd think, would want to say bad things about him

00:51:31.620 and report that.

00:51:32.500 But I think I only saw it on Fox News.

00:51:34.880 Or did I see it the other way around?

00:51:36.820 Scottsdale is saying it's too on the nose.

00:51:42.600 You're right about that.

00:51:43.460 It is too on the nose.

00:51:45.560 But you don't usually see something in quotation marks.

00:51:50.360 Well, it could be fake news.

00:51:52.460 Yeah.

00:51:52.840 Based on what we've seen, this could be fake news.

00:51:55.380 Why don't we put a pin in this,

00:51:57.440 and you will tell me tomorrow if it's fake news, okay?

00:52:00.380 If it's not fake news,

00:52:01.880 I think you need to be done with General Flynn forever.

00:52:05.200 But if it's fake news,

00:52:06.700 then we will all revise our opinions.

00:52:10.500 Okay?

00:52:13.300 Yeah, the fine people stuff was in quote exactly.

00:52:15.880 So it could be just taken out of context.

00:52:18.140 But because this has so much context in it,

00:52:21.160 I suspect that's not the case.

00:52:23.460 But you'll let me know.

00:52:24.700 I'll be open-minded to this being fake news.

00:52:26.680 All right, the Rittenhouse Prosecution

00:52:30.100 has asked for reduced charges.

00:52:33.040 And can you help me on the facts?

00:52:35.140 Was it reckless endangerment with a firearm or something?

00:52:38.580 Is that what they want to go for now?

00:52:41.380 Can somebody give me a fact check on that?

00:52:43.880 Reckless endangerment with a firearm?

00:52:45.900 Something like that?

00:52:48.680 I'm seeing some yes.

00:52:50.900 So do you think that there's anything in this case

00:52:53.420 that would suggest reckless endangerment with a gun?

00:52:57.360 Here's what I think.

00:52:59.660 What do people think guns are for?

00:53:03.360 Isn't this exactly what a gun is for?

00:53:06.400 It's like the whole point of a gun.

00:53:08.600 Which is there's a dangerous situation

00:53:10.680 that people might need some protection.

00:53:14.020 And so he brought a gun.

00:53:15.600 Is it reckless endangerment to bring a gun

00:53:17.960 to a situation where people are in danger

00:53:20.840 and need protection?

00:53:23.060 That feels like exactly the right thing to do.

00:53:26.540 Secondly, when he was handling the gun,

00:53:30.340 was he handling his gun in an unsafe way?

00:53:33.480 I didn't see any evidence of that.

00:53:35.540 It looked like he was keeping his barrel down.

00:53:38.020 And it looked like he had some training.

00:53:41.080 It looked like he knew firearm safety.

00:53:44.300 Just from the outside, it looked like that.

00:53:46.840 So that didn't look reckless.

00:53:48.480 And then how about the actual acts

00:53:50.000 in which he was shooting people?

00:53:51.900 Was that reckless endangerment?

00:53:52.720 Or was that just pure self-defense?

00:53:56.880 I'd say it was pure self-defense.

00:53:59.120 Now here's the question

00:54:00.060 that maybe the prosecution will ask.

00:54:04.220 Which is, did he bring this upon himself

00:54:06.920 by bringing a weapon into a place

00:54:09.080 where a reasonable person would have known

00:54:12.220 that could have attracted trouble?

00:54:14.460 What do you think?

00:54:15.720 Is it reckless to take a weapon

00:54:18.060 into a place that you know

00:54:20.100 it's going to attract attention?

00:54:21.240 Again, I say, that's what a gun is for.

00:54:26.940 A gun is for to go into that situation, right?

00:54:30.840 That's exactly what a gun is for.

00:54:33.020 To go into a situation

00:54:34.260 where things are unpredictable and dangerous

00:54:36.840 and people might have bad intentions for you.

00:54:40.240 That's what the gun's for.

00:54:42.960 So I would say there's no chance

00:54:45.200 of in a common sense way

00:54:47.260 that reckless endangerment makes sense.

00:54:49.300 But in a legal way, who knows?

00:54:50.720 Who knows?

00:54:51.340 Maybe he can sell this.

00:54:53.180 Maybe because he went so big

00:54:54.920 trying to ask for murder charges

00:54:57.080 and he's not going to get that, I don't think.

00:54:59.740 Maybe that's like a big first offer.

00:55:02.420 And then the jury says,

00:55:04.120 oh, okay, well, you talked me down for murder

00:55:06.340 to this reckless thing.

00:55:08.040 Yeah, we don't want people...

00:55:09.400 We should make an example of him.

00:55:13.040 We don't want people bringing guns to situations.

00:55:15.240 So yeah, let's just give him some reckless endangerment

00:55:18.540 and maybe that'll keep other people from coming.

00:55:21.520 Now, the jury is not supposed to think that way, right?

00:55:24.480 The jury is not supposed to make an example of you.

00:55:28.060 That's exactly what they're not supposed to do.

00:55:30.500 They're supposed to just judge that the facts

00:55:33.060 either make it a crime or not a crime.

00:55:35.460 But I don't know how you could stop people

00:55:39.500 from thinking that way.

00:55:41.120 If you put me on the jury,

00:55:42.380 I would definitely be thinking,

00:55:43.820 what message are we sending?

00:55:46.240 I'm not supposed to,

00:55:48.160 but I would be,

00:55:49.480 just like everybody else.

00:55:52.060 So on one hand,

00:55:53.960 you could imagine that the jury might say,

00:55:55.720 well, you know, for the social good,

00:55:58.260 we're going to give them a little bit of a,

00:56:00.220 you know, maybe even jail time.

00:56:01.660 I don't know.

00:56:02.000 How much is reckless endangerment worth

00:56:04.040 in terms of jail time?

00:56:06.600 You know, I would like to think

00:56:08.000 it would be time served

00:56:09.220 if that's what happened,

00:56:10.300 but I don't know.

00:56:12.800 I would say that reckless endangerment

00:56:14.560 is a pure opinion.

00:56:15.880 What do you think?

00:56:17.620 In this situation,

00:56:19.020 it would be a pure opinion.

00:56:20.920 It would not be a finding of fact.

00:56:24.440 Yeah, it would be pure opinion.

00:56:26.020 And we don't put people in jail for opinion.

00:56:28.760 Well, we do,

00:56:29.600 but we're not supposed to.

00:56:30.480 They should be just doing a finding of fact.

00:56:34.060 So I think reckless endangerment

00:56:35.880 is not something that is subject to fact.

00:56:38.760 To me, that looks like pure opinion.

00:56:40.860 You could imagine situations

00:56:42.180 that are just obvious to everybody,

00:56:43.940 but this isn't one of them.

00:56:46.000 You know, certainly it's probably,

00:56:47.980 well, I'd say it's probably good

00:56:49.080 to have this law in the books

00:56:50.440 because there have to be cases

00:56:52.280 where somebody is just,

00:56:53.900 you know, playing with a loaded gun

00:56:56.020 and somebody gets killed

00:56:56.940 and yeah, they need to answer for that.

00:56:59.080 But that's not what happened here.

00:57:01.420 He wasn't playing whatsoever.

00:57:04.480 Here's how I would have taken this.

00:57:06.000 If I saw the prosecutor asking for murder

00:57:08.520 and then I saw that the prosecutor

00:57:10.740 had no evidence for that charge,

00:57:13.480 what would I do for the lesser charges?

00:57:16.180 What would you do?

00:57:16.800 Let's say you thought the lesser charges

00:57:19.640 might actually be fairly valid,

00:57:22.260 but you watched a prosecutor ask for murder

00:57:24.740 with no evidence for murder.

00:57:26.660 You watched that happen right in front of you

00:57:28.520 and then they go,

00:57:29.140 oh, how about this lesser charge?

00:57:31.560 How's your attitude now?

00:57:33.880 You put me on that jury,

00:57:35.640 I would not convict him for jaywalking

00:57:38.980 if there were 100 witnesses

00:57:40.980 and 50 videos

00:57:43.200 because once I found

00:57:45.420 that they tried to railroad

00:57:46.500 this poor bastard

00:57:47.680 with a murder charge

00:57:49.380 with no evidence,

00:57:50.740 no evidence,

00:57:51.980 once I learned that,

00:57:53.400 there is nothing

00:57:54.360 I would convict him for.

00:57:56.540 And I would sit in that jury trial

00:57:58.320 and I would lie my fucking ass off.

00:58:00.800 I would say,

00:58:01.620 no, I don't see the evidence

00:58:02.560 for this reckless endangerment thing.

00:58:04.180 Nope, nope, nope, nope, don't see it.

00:58:06.280 Even if I did see it.

00:58:07.400 Now, in truth, I don't see it

00:58:09.600 based on what I've seen,

00:58:11.700 but I'm not in the room.

00:58:14.420 So, I mean, I don't see it.

00:58:16.180 But if I did see it,

00:58:17.760 even if I saw that the facts

00:58:19.720 totally supported reckless endangerment,

00:58:22.700 I'm letting this guy get off a period.

00:58:25.580 That's not even negotiable.

00:58:27.520 I'm sorry, not negotiable.

00:58:29.480 You do this to an American citizen?

00:58:32.680 And by the way,

00:58:34.060 let me be as specific as I can.

00:58:36.120 If Kyle were black,

00:58:38.940 I'd be saying the same thing.

00:58:41.000 If Kyle were, you know,

00:58:43.100 an illegal immigrant,

00:58:44.900 I'd be saying the same thing.

00:58:47.200 No exceptions.

00:58:48.840 If you try to,

00:58:49.640 if the government tries to put you in jail

00:58:52.140 on ginned-up charges,

00:58:54.380 I don't care what else

00:58:55.580 you're charging him with.

00:58:56.980 He's walking.

00:58:58.660 You know, I would hang the jury so hard,

00:59:01.840 you know,

00:59:02.360 even if it came to fisticuffs,

00:59:03.860 there's a limit to how much you can push the public.

00:59:07.080 That would be my limit.

00:59:08.680 I don't know what your limit is,

00:59:09.800 but that would be mine.

00:59:11.040 It wouldn't matter how much evidence

00:59:12.680 they had for these lesser charges.

00:59:14.860 No fucking way.

00:59:17.360 No fucking way.

00:59:18.380 And again,

00:59:19.320 it doesn't matter what ethnicity is,

00:59:21.040 it doesn't matter his gender,

00:59:22.400 it has nothing to do with that.

00:59:23.860 This is just a,

00:59:25.960 this is just a justice turned upside down,

00:59:29.920 and we don't stand for that in this country.

00:59:32.920 We don't stand for that.

00:59:35.660 Sorry.

00:59:37.260 I've said before,

00:59:39.780 and I'll say it again,

00:59:41.400 that I think only one thing holds this country together,

00:59:45.240 and it's our court system.

00:59:48.080 Nothing else keeps the country together.

00:59:50.500 It's the fact that even when we hate the decisions from the court,

00:59:55.340 we respect the system.

00:59:58.060 Even when we hate the judge,

01:00:00.680 we respect the system.

01:00:02.460 And even when we hate the outcome,

01:00:05.080 we respect the system.

01:00:07.520 Because the system is pretty well designed

01:00:09.920 relative to, you know,

01:00:12.140 what your alternatives are.

01:00:14.320 It's a well designed system.

01:00:15.700 And as long as the courts continue to have our trust,

01:00:20.740 and I think they do.

01:00:21.740 I mean,

01:00:22.080 the Supreme Court's sort of a special case

01:00:24.000 because that's politicized.

01:00:25.360 But the courts in general do have our trust.

01:00:28.380 They're not perfect.

01:00:30.560 But we don't think that they're trying to be imperfect.

01:00:34.020 Right?

01:00:34.360 It looks like a mistake when they're,

01:00:36.540 when something goes wrong.

01:00:38.740 So that's,

01:00:39.920 I think we have to appreciate

01:00:42.680 that that's the jewel,

01:00:45.380 that's the jewel in the entire republic.

01:00:48.560 If we lose that,

01:00:49.900 we lose everything.

01:00:51.020 And I would argue that every country

01:00:52.740 that can't reproduce our republic,

01:00:55.980 or any kind of a democratic system,

01:00:58.100 any country that can't make one of those,

01:01:00.020 it's because the court system doesn't work.

01:01:02.800 Like,

01:01:03.200 until you get the court system right,

01:01:05.520 nothing works.

01:01:06.160 And I would imagine that there are big cultural differences

01:01:09.880 in terms of,

01:01:12.100 you know,

01:01:12.320 just the,

01:01:12.960 I don't know,

01:01:13.520 the mindset

01:01:14.000 that makes a jury trial work,

01:01:16.840 and people don't want to automatically railroad people

01:01:19.220 and whatever.

01:01:20.840 And there's something about the,

01:01:22.460 the American experience

01:01:24.840 that makes us somewhat absolutist

01:01:27.720 about this

01:01:28.260 courts need to be working

01:01:29.960 stuff.

01:01:31.660 And I would say

01:01:32.560 we do a pretty good job.

01:01:34.440 You know,

01:01:35.640 warts and all,

01:01:36.740 we do a pretty good job with the courts.

01:01:38.900 And I respect them.

01:01:42.200 Yeah,

01:01:42.740 certainly people do get railroaded.

01:01:45.380 And,

01:01:45.700 you know,

01:01:45.840 the legal system has a process for that too.

01:01:48.640 I mean,

01:01:49.280 you can sue.

01:01:50.600 So we even have recourse

01:01:52.100 when there are injustices.

01:01:54.340 So,

01:01:54.720 you know,

01:01:54.920 we all wish it could be better.

01:01:57.620 But,

01:01:58.720 but it's probably as good as you can get.

01:02:04.440 Yeah,

01:02:05.400 and I was going to say

01:02:06.240 it has a history

01:02:08.200 that goes back to

01:02:09.140 Great Britain primarily.

01:02:11.440 France a little bit too.

01:02:13.740 You historians,

01:02:14.760 let me know.

01:02:16.800 Go on false as

01:02:18.060 prosecutors have political bias

01:02:20.160 against Second Amendment

01:02:20.980 shouldn't be involved with gun cases.

01:02:23.760 There can't be a bias in the courtroom.

01:02:25.700 Well,

01:02:26.120 yeah,

01:02:26.640 I mean,

01:02:27.340 every lawyer has a bias,

01:02:28.720 right?

01:02:29.400 You can't get rid of bias in lawyers.

01:02:32.060 That wouldn't make sense at all.

01:02:33.360 The January 6th committee

01:02:38.740 will further shred our America.

01:02:41.700 Maybe.

01:02:42.820 But look at 2022.

01:02:45.380 I feel as if

01:02:46.620 the public

01:02:49.180 is rising up.

01:02:51.660 Meaning that,

01:02:53.280 you know,

01:02:53.620 the public is watching

01:02:54.560 and they've made some decisions.

01:02:55.860 I don't think those decisions

01:02:58.040 are going to change.

01:02:58.760 We need a J4 committee.

01:03:07.800 Yeah.

01:03:10.940 What do you think

01:03:14.880 of Liz Cheney's

01:03:16.140 mental state?

01:03:17.000 You know,

01:03:17.980 I don't care too much

01:03:18.940 about Liz Cheney.

01:03:21.820 I suppose I'm supposed to

01:03:23.300 because she's in the news a lot.

01:03:25.140 But I don't know.

01:03:25.980 I just don't really care

01:03:27.380 what she says

01:03:27.940 or what she does.

01:03:28.740 Should I?

01:03:30.300 I mean,

01:03:30.780 I get that she's contrarian

01:03:32.120 and stuff,

01:03:32.680 but really,

01:03:33.280 is that interesting enough?

01:03:35.160 I don't think so.

01:03:41.460 Name a sport

01:03:42.280 that wouldn't be

01:03:42.880 more entertaining

01:03:43.540 if they allowed

01:03:44.320 fighting like hockey does.

01:03:47.320 Tennis would be

01:03:48.040 a lot more entertaining.

01:03:49.760 By the way,

01:03:50.300 I've said this before,

01:03:51.160 but all of the sports

01:03:52.200 in the world

01:03:52.720 are broken.

01:03:53.820 They're all broken.

01:03:54.420 Tennis is broken

01:03:56.740 because the rackets

01:03:57.840 got so good

01:03:58.700 that anybody with muscles

01:04:00.540 can hit the ball harder

01:04:01.640 than the opponent

01:04:02.400 can return it,

01:04:03.300 especially a serve.

01:04:05.040 So you should

01:04:05.980 get rid of the serve.

01:04:07.660 Tennis would be fun

01:04:08.480 if you got rid of the serve.

01:04:09.740 And in fact,

01:04:10.200 there is a version of tennis

01:04:11.260 in which you get rid

01:04:12.100 of the serve.

01:04:13.000 And I've played it.

01:04:13.740 It's way better.

01:04:15.460 How about soccer

01:04:16.520 and out of bounds

01:04:17.680 and off sides?

01:04:19.560 Just get rid of that shit.

01:04:22.100 Soccer would be

01:04:22.840 so much more fun

01:04:23.820 if you got rid

01:04:24.500 of the off sides rule

01:04:25.520 totally

01:04:27.220 and you didn't have

01:04:29.000 out of bounds.

01:04:30.140 So indoor soccer

01:04:30.960 has that advantage

01:04:31.840 because the ball

01:04:32.580 just bounces off the wall.

01:04:34.240 But get rid of out of bounds.

01:04:36.060 Get rid of the,

01:04:37.760 you know,

01:04:38.180 all the time-wasting stuff.

01:04:40.340 Make the goals bigger

01:04:41.220 so there's more,

01:04:42.520 you know,

01:04:42.800 more goals

01:04:43.360 so it's more fun to watch.

01:04:44.480 And yeah,

01:04:52.440 pretty much every sport

01:04:54.000 except football

01:04:56.020 is ruined

01:04:57.980 because either

01:04:59.500 our attention span

01:05:00.560 changed

01:05:01.180 or something

01:05:01.900 about the equipment

01:05:02.880 changed

01:05:03.480 to make it

01:05:05.440 a different

01:05:05.860 kind of a sport.

01:05:07.060 Football is

01:05:07.840 a modern enough sport

01:05:09.660 that I think

01:05:10.700 it grew up

01:05:11.380 with technology

01:05:12.160 and it grew up

01:05:12.920 with sort of

01:05:14.420 modern everything.

01:05:18.920 Ice hockey

01:05:19.480 has the problem

01:05:20.020 that it's hard

01:05:20.500 to watch.

01:05:21.280 I think ice hockey

01:05:25.600 is probably more fun

01:05:26.400 to play

01:05:26.740 than to watch.

01:05:28.620 And I think

01:05:29.020 you have to have

01:05:29.660 played hockey

01:05:31.040 to actually enjoy

01:05:32.120 watching it.

01:05:37.340 You don't know

01:05:38.100 what you're talking

01:05:38.700 about on soccer?

01:05:40.380 Yes, I do.

01:05:41.880 Do you know

01:05:42.120 how much soccer

01:05:42.760 I've played

01:05:43.260 in my life?

01:05:44.780 I've played

01:05:45.380 a ton of soccer.

01:05:46.320 It was my primary

01:05:47.420 sport for years.

01:05:49.100 And yes,

01:05:49.640 I know exactly

01:05:50.220 what I'm talking about.

01:05:50.920 I know why

01:05:52.080 the offside rule

01:05:53.280 exists

01:05:53.840 and I prefer

01:05:55.060 not having it.

01:06:00.340 I'm also

01:06:01.060 for your golf ball

01:06:01.860 is the last place

01:06:02.580 you saw it.

01:06:03.360 Okay,

01:06:04.060 golf is

01:06:05.220 completely ridiculous.

01:06:06.940 You heard

01:06:07.380 about the golfer

01:06:08.100 or some pro golfer

01:06:09.060 who made all

01:06:10.040 of his golf clubs

01:06:10.940 specialized

01:06:11.760 to be the same

01:06:13.420 length

01:06:14.080 and then he

01:06:15.560 started winning

01:06:16.580 because they make

01:06:17.900 golf clubs

01:06:18.840 different lengths

01:06:19.600 for no good

01:06:20.640 reason.

01:06:21.500 It just makes

01:06:22.000 it harder

01:06:22.320 to play golf

01:06:22.980 because every

01:06:23.440 stick is a

01:06:23.980 different length.

01:06:25.740 So he just

01:06:26.400 made them all

01:06:26.780 the same

01:06:27.160 and didn't

01:06:27.520 lose anything.

01:06:28.380 He just

01:06:28.560 got better.

01:06:31.420 And yes,

01:06:32.320 you shouldn't

01:06:32.800 spend your time

01:06:33.400 looking for the

01:06:34.140 ball.

01:06:35.500 So golf

01:06:36.460 would be great

01:06:37.120 if there was

01:06:37.560 nobody behind

01:06:38.280 you and you

01:06:39.560 didn't have to

01:06:40.080 spend all your

01:06:40.540 time looking

01:06:41.000 for a ball

01:06:41.560 because looking

01:06:42.820 for a ball

01:06:43.340 is like shopping

01:06:44.260 or like work.

01:06:47.980 Looking for the

01:06:48.680 ball feels like

01:06:49.300 work to me.

01:06:49.940 It doesn't

01:06:50.180 feel like

01:06:50.680 anything.

01:06:55.860 He also

01:06:56.460 gained 30

01:06:57.060 pounds to have

01:06:57.560 more power.

01:06:59.320 Oh, the guy

01:06:59.980 who did that

01:07:00.460 has a degree

01:07:00.960 in physics?

01:07:01.600 Well, that

01:07:01.820 makes sense

01:07:02.340 because he

01:07:03.620 did the only

01:07:04.420 smart thing

01:07:05.060 that anybody's

01:07:05.580 ever done

01:07:05.940 in golf.

01:07:06.360 golf is a

01:07:12.080 good walk

01:07:12.640 ruined, yeah.

01:07:13.440 Who said

01:07:13.760 that?

01:07:14.140 Was it

01:07:14.440 Mark Twain

01:07:15.480 or somebody?

01:07:17.980 Did they

01:07:18.520 have golf

01:07:18.980 during Mark

01:07:19.560 Twain's

01:07:19.960 time?

01:07:23.300 He made

01:07:23.940 massive muscle

01:07:24.920 changes,

01:07:25.540 right?

01:07:27.280 Oh, put

01:07:27.760 RFD

01:07:28.500 trackers in

01:07:29.400 the balls?

01:07:30.140 Yeah, there's

01:07:30.480 got to be

01:07:30.760 some way to

01:07:31.220 find your

01:07:31.580 golf ball.

01:07:32.080 I also

01:07:36.340 don't think

01:07:36.760 driving should

01:07:38.060 be part of

01:07:38.580 golf.

01:07:40.040 Here's some

01:07:40.440 controversy.

01:07:41.680 I don't

01:07:41.960 think that

01:07:42.600 driving, same

01:07:44.560 with serving

01:07:45.320 in tennis,

01:07:46.520 serving ruins

01:07:47.300 tennis because

01:07:48.480 you're just

01:07:48.760 always waiting

01:07:49.340 and picking up

01:07:49.960 balls and

01:07:50.420 stuff, but

01:07:52.100 driving should

01:07:53.140 just not be,

01:07:54.340 it should just

01:07:54.840 be chipping

01:07:55.960 and putting

01:07:56.320 because the

01:07:58.460 people who

01:07:58.920 can drive

01:07:59.480 well,

01:07:59.800 it's just

01:08:03.500 a genetic

01:08:03.980 thing.

01:08:05.060 They can

01:08:05.460 just hit it

01:08:05.920 a mile

01:08:06.300 because they

01:08:06.840 got whippy

01:08:07.520 skills.

01:08:10.040 And if you

01:08:10.520 don't have

01:08:10.880 that, it

01:08:12.320 makes golf

01:08:12.860 really not

01:08:13.460 fun if you're

01:08:14.100 playing with

01:08:14.420 somebody who

01:08:14.840 does have

01:08:15.260 that because

01:08:16.560 you're halfway

01:08:17.180 to where they

01:08:17.980 are and they're

01:08:18.560 waiting for you.

01:08:20.040 So just make

01:08:20.940 it all chipping,

01:08:23.160 chipping and

01:08:24.020 putting, and

01:08:24.980 then you've

01:08:25.260 got a good

01:08:25.600 sport.

01:08:25.900 Yeah, I

01:08:34.540 know most

01:08:35.040 of you like

01:08:35.480 it just the

01:08:35.900 way it is.

01:08:37.380 And that's

01:08:37.780 fine.

01:08:38.440 All right.

01:08:39.000 I think we've

01:08:39.900 done all the

01:08:41.040 live streaming

01:08:42.620 we need for

01:08:43.160 now.

01:08:44.140 Now I think

01:08:44.680 you'll agree

01:08:45.140 that this was

01:08:46.820 the best show

01:08:47.480 you've ever

01:08:48.000 seen from

01:08:49.780 me today.

01:08:52.220 And I

01:08:54.940 think you

01:08:55.760 would agree

01:08:56.140 they just

01:08:56.720 keep getting

01:08:57.260 better.

01:08:58.340 It's amazing,

01:08:59.020 isn't it?

01:08:59.360 It just keeps

01:08:59.860 getting better.

01:09:01.180 I got one

01:09:01.640 more paid

01:09:02.180 comment here.

01:09:04.780 If they

01:09:05.340 drive it,

01:09:05.840 they should

01:09:06.180 play golf

01:09:06.820 while the

01:09:07.280 golf cart

01:09:07.880 getting out

01:09:08.560 is out of

01:09:09.020 bounds.

01:09:10.580 Yeah, get

01:09:11.100 rid of golf

01:09:11.500 carts too.

01:09:12.720 All right,

01:09:13.140 that's all for

01:09:13.540 now.

01:09:14.000 I'll talk

01:09:14.440 to you.
