Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1566 Scott Adams： Biden Gets a Colonoscopy So Doctors Can Study His Brain, and Whatnot

00:00:01.000 Good morning, everybody, and congratulations.

00:00:05.360 The first thing you did today, or one of the first things, is hugely successful.

00:00:10.540 You found your way to a live version of, or maybe recorded, of Coffee with Scott Adams,

00:00:17.180 which is, yeah, that's right, the best thing that's ever happened in the entire history of the universe.

00:00:25.140 Now, on YouTube, did any of you have any audio problems yesterday?

00:00:28.860 I heard there were audio problems, but tell me in the comments while I prep you for another highlight.

00:00:38.480 Yeah, it's a highlight.

00:00:40.280 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:00:44.540 a tanker, gel, a stein, a canteen, jug, or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:49.100 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:52.340 I like coffee.

00:00:54.220 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:58.500 the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:01.960 You know it does.

00:01:03.600 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now.

00:01:05.400 Go.

00:01:10.320 Okay, it looks like most of you did not have audio problems,

00:01:13.800 but there were audio problems in some places, so I guess it depends.

00:01:18.920 All right.

00:01:19.300 In fun news, we'll get to the serious stuff in a minute,

00:01:24.940 but in fun news, Tesla has given some beta users.

00:01:31.320 Now, no, they're not beta males.

00:01:33.380 They're just users in a beta program.

00:01:36.260 They've given them full self-driving beta software.

00:01:39.180 And so there are some people in Brooklyn who can actually take their hands off the wheel,

00:01:46.280 which would be unwise, because apparently the self-driving part is not as self-driving as possibly it could be.

00:01:54.840 But here's my take on self-driving cars.

00:02:00.240 I think the highways need to be designed for them alone.

00:02:04.360 What do you think?

00:02:05.800 Do you think it's going to be practical to have regular cars and all kinds of stuff happening

00:02:12.360 at the same time as self-driving cars?

00:02:15.120 I just don't know if our human driving capabilities in terms of anticipating a kid running across the road

00:02:25.300 because he lost his ball.

00:02:28.080 I mean, a human can pick up trouble before a machine, right?

00:02:32.800 But the machine might react faster or even see some things that the humans don't see.

00:02:37.380 Here are the things that I would want for self-driving cars.

00:02:39.980 Number one, I'd want the roads especially designed so it's only self-driving cars.

00:02:45.360 I don't know how to get there, but that'd be cool.

00:02:48.020 I would like all the self-driving cars to be networked together.

00:02:52.720 That's not yet a thing, right?

00:02:55.340 But I think that no matter the make of the car, it needs to be networked

00:02:59.280 specifically so the other cars can tell if it lost control.

00:03:03.320 Because if one of the cars loses control,

00:03:05.520 or let's say all the cars are monitoring each other,

00:03:10.500 or even just all the cars have a buddy,

00:03:12.520 like every car is monitoring itself plus one other car.

00:03:16.420 If the other car does something that some other car would not have done,

00:03:22.520 it should send out an alert, right?

00:03:24.700 There's a car acting in a way that I certainly wouldn't have acted as a self-driving car.

00:03:29.920 And then, you know, maybe something can remediate that situation.

00:03:33.100 But the other thing I'd like to see is some kind of a satellite visibility above the cars.

00:03:40.860 Now, it could be cameras in the streetlights.

00:03:43.880 It could be some of Elon Musk's own low satellites that could see your car pretty easily.

00:03:50.200 But don't you think you'd like to know if there's a car around the corner?

00:03:55.980 Because if you had all the cars,

00:03:58.980 now, you probably were not sold on the idea of mixing,

00:04:02.380 or probably not sold on the idea of having only self-driving cars in the road.

00:04:07.560 But you realize you could get rid of streetlights, right?

00:04:11.180 Like all streetlights would go away.

00:04:12.800 Because if you had visibility from above and all the cars were networked,

00:04:19.080 you would have two ways to know if a car is coming from a hidden direction.

00:04:24.640 All of the cars could actually go through an intersection without stopping.

00:04:30.120 Some would slow down, some would speed up,

00:04:32.560 but there'd always be plenty of room.

00:04:34.380 You would just, the self-driving cars would just regulate,

00:04:39.100 and you'd never have to stop.

00:04:40.240 So you could drive 20, you know, say, 20% slower

00:04:45.060 and get there 50% faster if you had a self-driving car.

00:04:50.820 Did you do your own research on this?

00:04:52.720 No, I mean, not just sort of thinking about it and saying obvious things.

00:04:58.560 That's about it.

00:04:59.800 Apparently, Tesla made a billion dollars profit.

00:05:03.280 Was it this year or this quarter?

00:05:05.480 Oh, a quarter, just this quarter.

00:05:07.440 That's amazing.

00:05:08.140 But a quarter of their profits was from Bitcoin sales.

00:05:12.460 Is there anything Elon Musk can't do?

00:05:15.880 He made a quarter of a billion dollars on Bitcoin this quarter.

00:05:20.200 Come on.

00:05:21.600 That's just showing off.

00:05:23.560 I mean, it's bad enough he built, you know,

00:05:25.060 the most successful electric car company.

00:05:27.540 That felt a little like showing off.

00:05:29.920 But if you add, like, Bitcoin as a sweetener on top of that,

00:05:34.420 and you just kill it, 0.71

00:05:35.280 that's just showing off. 1.00

00:05:39.960 All right.

00:05:41.940 Bernie Sanders doesn't like our billionaires having a space race by themselves.

00:05:46.740 Bernie, you are so no longer relevant.

00:05:50.840 What kind of space race would we have at all

00:05:53.100 if the billionaires weren't doing it?

00:05:55.600 I think something like nothing, right?

00:05:58.120 That's what it would look like.

00:05:59.560 Of course we need them.

00:06:01.440 All right.

00:06:01.680 Here's the fake news of the day.

00:06:03.440 Fake news.

00:06:04.140 I think this is more of the fog of war fake news,

00:06:07.700 which is a little different than regular fake news.

00:06:10.560 The fog of war fake news,

00:06:12.160 people are probably trying to get it right and just getting it wrong.

00:06:15.980 Whereas when a story is aged a little bit,

00:06:19.760 anything that's wrong is probably intentional,

00:06:23.020 you know, if you know what I mean.

00:06:24.060 But in the fog of war, it could be just a mistake.

00:06:27.000 And here are the things we've heard about Rittenhouse jurors.

00:06:29.940 We've heard that there were two rogue jurors

00:06:33.660 that didn't want to rule

00:06:37.640 because they were afraid.

00:06:40.420 But I think that's been debunked, has it not?

00:06:43.220 Now we hear that there might be a 6-6 split.

00:06:46.400 All of these are unconfirmed, low-reliability reports.

00:06:49.780 I doubt it.

00:06:52.780 Do you think it's possible it could be 6-6?

00:06:55.820 And I hate to say it,

00:06:57.040 but it might have to do with the racial makeup of the jury.

00:07:01.620 If the racial makeup of the jury is half white and half other,

00:07:06.420 maybe.

00:07:07.720 Because I don't think anybody's going to be looking at facts.

00:07:11.700 I mean, as soon as a trial becomes political,

00:07:14.460 I think people just line up on their team.

00:07:16.920 You hope that doesn't happen in America,

00:07:19.620 but I feel like it could.

00:07:21.500 However, I'm going to say I doubt very much

00:07:23.740 the 6-6 split hypothesis.

00:07:26.660 I don't think so.

00:07:28.720 But there apparently is some kind of possibly a foreperson,

00:07:32.720 that's not confirmed,

00:07:34.340 who might be a holdout for guilty

00:07:36.880 and may be trying to retry the case in the jury room.

00:07:41.860 But again, we don't know any of this for sure.

00:07:44.460 So I would say that everything you hear

00:07:46.840 about the jurors and the deliberations

00:07:51.400 put a really big skeptical pin in any of those stories.

00:07:57.580 Someday we might know what they did,

00:07:59.860 but we don't know now.

00:08:01.560 We'd just be guessing.

00:08:05.940 Rasmussen reports

00:08:07.140 that the public expects unemployment to worsen in the future.

00:08:11.580 37% think it'll be worse, unemployment,

00:08:15.900 and 27% say it won't be as bad.

00:08:19.020 But here's the funny thing.

00:08:20.740 Exactly 25% think unemployment

00:08:23.240 will be about the same next year.

00:08:26.520 Here's the only thing I know for sure.

00:08:29.160 It won't be about the same.

00:08:30.600 If you want to make a prediction about anything,

00:08:37.680 don't predict it's going to be about the same.

00:08:40.700 There aren't that many things that stay about the same.

00:08:43.680 I suppose it'd be obvious which ones they are,

00:08:46.220 so that wouldn't be much of a prediction.

00:08:48.560 But that 25%, if you're new to this live stream,

00:08:52.140 I always make fun of any poll

00:08:54.100 that has 25% or anything near that number,

00:08:57.420 because that's exactly the number of people in the United States

00:09:00.800 who get every question wrong.

00:09:03.240 It doesn't matter what the question is.

00:09:05.220 25% of the public will reliably just get that wrong,

00:09:09.960 and it shows up in every poll.

00:09:14.280 One of the most frequent criticisms that I receive

00:09:17.640 is that I never admit when I'm wrong.

00:09:21.320 How many of you would buy into that?

00:09:23.040 In the comments,

00:09:27.160 tell me if you think that's a reasonable characterization

00:09:30.460 of my, let's say, long-term public persona.

00:09:35.880 Now, in locals, you're friendlier to me

00:09:38.360 because it's a subscription service.

00:09:43.460 But almost everybody's agreeing.

00:09:45.320 Okay.

00:09:46.380 I thought I was going to have to defend myself,

00:09:48.660 but apparently I don't.

00:09:49.920 However, I do want to talk about something I got wrong.

00:09:53.040 Now, if you think about people who admit

00:09:55.920 when they got things wrong,

00:09:57.960 who do you think of?

00:09:59.980 Give me some names besides me.

00:10:02.960 Give me some names of people that you've seen

00:10:05.120 admit they were wrong.

00:10:08.620 Besides yourself, okay.

00:10:10.420 Now, I'm talking about public figures.

00:10:12.540 Public figures who talk about the news.

00:10:14.660 Cernovich, Bill Maher,

00:10:17.540 Bongino, Tucker Carlson,

00:10:19.920 O'Reilly?

00:10:23.440 Well, yeah, maybe.

00:10:26.800 Jack Posobiec got felled.

00:10:30.260 Okay.

00:10:33.040 I thought Tucker.

00:10:34.740 Tucker is the first one that came to mind to me

00:10:36.800 because it always seems strange

00:10:40.600 when somebody says directly,

00:10:42.900 I was wrong.

00:10:44.320 Because usually you get the,

00:10:45.500 well, I was wrong-ish.

00:10:47.320 You know, CNN is doing the wrong-ish play.

00:10:51.020 Well, we weren't wrong 0.56

00:10:52.560 about the fake Steele dossier

00:10:55.320 because, you know,

00:10:57.520 after all,

00:10:58.800 the Trump campaign did show interest

00:11:00.640 in Russia helping them.

00:11:02.520 So you usually get that kind of...

00:11:04.360 Whereas when Tucker gets something wrong,

00:11:06.820 he just says,

00:11:07.420 this was totally wrong.

00:11:08.420 And then he goes on.

00:11:11.500 Like, I always respect that.

00:11:13.840 So I'm going to try to...

00:11:15.240 I'm going to try to be the good version

00:11:19.000 of admitting you're wrong

00:11:20.160 where you say it clearly.

00:11:22.120 But I'm going to add a little bit of ish to it.

00:11:26.160 It's me.

00:11:27.420 I get to do that.

00:11:29.360 All right.

00:11:29.660 It goes like this.

00:11:31.120 Do you remember when Sidney Powell

00:11:33.720 was saying they were going to release the Kraken

00:11:36.500 and somebody reminded me today

00:11:38.680 that I was confident

00:11:40.300 that the Kraken was real,

00:11:42.480 that there would actually be a Kraken.

00:11:44.740 There would be some kind of really big thing.

00:11:47.560 Now, I was unambiguously totally wrong,

00:11:53.380 which has nothing to do with

00:11:54.820 whether or not there was any problem

00:11:56.020 with the election.

00:11:57.360 I'm saying that Sidney Powell

00:11:59.180 did not produce a Kraken.

00:12:01.600 And I kind of thought she would.

00:12:03.660 And here's what I got wrong specifically.

00:12:06.500 I thought that there's no way

00:12:10.080 a lawyer operating at that level 1.00

00:12:13.120 could be so easily bamboozled by bullshit. 0.99

00:12:17.500 But boy, was I wrong. 1.00

00:12:19.880 Now, I can't read her mind.

00:12:22.160 So I'm making an unfair assumption

00:12:24.740 about her thinking, right?

00:12:26.060 It's always unfair when you try to imagine

00:12:28.240 you know what anybody's thinking.

00:12:32.500 Hello?

00:12:33.020 Hello?

00:12:33.100 Hi, Scott.

00:12:39.460 As soon as you hear the...

00:12:41.720 Hi, Scott.

00:12:43.260 Goodbye.

00:12:46.060 So, yes, I understand

00:12:47.520 that there's still some litigation,

00:12:49.500 blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:12:50.400 But would you all agree with me

00:12:52.080 that she has not produced a Kraken?

00:12:55.000 And I thought she would.

00:12:56.280 So I am unambiguously wrong about that.

00:12:59.960 Wouldn't you say?

00:13:02.980 Unambiguously.

00:13:04.080 Now, I do say,

00:13:05.280 and here's my ish part,

00:13:07.540 I do say that any system

00:13:09.040 that can be hacked,

00:13:10.900 and I think our election system

00:13:12.320 is in the category of

00:13:13.420 things which hypothetically,

00:13:16.600 theoretically, could be hacked,

00:13:18.840 that whenever you have a situation

00:13:20.280 like that and the stakes are high

00:13:21.800 and lots of people are involved,

00:13:23.600 it will be hacked.

00:13:25.160 We just don't know

00:13:25.840 if it's already happened.

00:13:28.180 So my take is that

00:13:29.660 a Kraken is guaranteed,

00:13:32.260 but no way to know

00:13:34.360 that it happened already

00:13:35.400 or it's in the future.

00:13:36.820 But it's guaranteed.

00:13:38.060 Because the situation guarantees it.

00:13:40.580 It just might take a while.

00:13:42.700 Don't know.

00:13:43.040 All right.

00:13:45.600 Biden's getting his health exam today.

00:13:49.260 I wondered if he's going to get

00:13:50.960 a cognitive test,

00:13:52.100 but then I heard he's going to be

00:13:53.200 under anesthesia

00:13:54.820 and he'll get a colonoscopy.

00:13:57.700 As Joel Pollack pointed out,

00:14:01.420 in effect,

00:14:02.020 they are looking for his brain.

00:14:04.440 They're just going about it

00:14:05.420 a different way than I would have.

00:14:07.560 Maybe they know something we don't.

00:14:09.560 So they'll be looking for his brain,

00:14:11.040 but they'll be looking for it 1.00

00:14:12.240 by checking through his ass, 1.00

00:14:13.900 which is, I don't know, 0.99

00:14:15.940 maybe that's a good first place to look.

00:14:19.600 But interestingly,

00:14:21.060 during his anesthesiology,

00:14:23.080 anesthesia,

00:14:24.380 during his anesthesia,

00:14:26.240 a word I hate to spell

00:14:27.760 and I hate to pronounce even more,

00:14:31.380 Kamala Harris will be

00:14:32.520 the official president

00:14:33.560 of the United States.

00:14:36.220 Now,

00:14:37.900 remember when I was telling you

00:14:39.800 how I was totally wrong

00:14:40.880 about that Kraken thing?

00:14:42.220 Oh, and by the way,

00:14:44.160 I was also one of the first

00:14:45.900 public figures to say

00:14:47.180 the election is done.

00:14:49.240 You know,

00:14:49.800 we just have to move on.

00:14:51.700 So I think I was right on that

00:14:53.160 in the long run.

00:14:55.600 Because even if you find something,

00:14:57.920 it's going to be too late.

00:14:59.280 So it's not that you're not

00:15:00.320 going to find anything.

00:15:01.720 It's just too late.

00:15:03.000 The system's moved on.

00:15:04.480 Anyway,

00:15:04.820 Harris is going to be president

00:15:05.840 for a while.

00:15:06.520 And this will give us

00:15:08.660 a unique situation.

00:15:10.300 Number one,

00:15:12.360 I remember in August of 2018

00:15:15.860 sitting in the Oval Office

00:15:17.500 and Trump asked me,

00:15:19.100 who do I think

00:15:19.700 will run against him?

00:15:21.140 And I said,

00:15:22.340 I thought his biggest risk

00:15:23.580 was Kamala Harris.

00:15:26.900 Today she'll be president

00:15:28.260 of the United States.

00:15:29.120 Now,

00:15:33.240 keep in mind

00:15:34.240 that I predicted

00:15:36.800 Kamala Harris

00:15:37.660 would be the main competitor

00:15:39.400 when she had,

00:15:41.040 her ratings were like zero

00:15:42.540 for popularity.

00:15:44.660 And I continued saying it

00:15:46.820 after she dropped out of the race.

00:15:50.420 I predicted

00:15:51.360 that she was still

00:15:52.920 the biggest threat

00:15:53.840 after she dropped out of the race.

00:15:56.500 and today

00:15:58.000 she's president

00:15:59.560 of the United States.

00:16:02.100 Now,

00:16:02.600 I didn't see it happening

00:16:03.280 that way,

00:16:04.640 but I don't know

00:16:05.380 anybody else

00:16:05.940 who was thinking

00:16:06.920 she had a shot

00:16:08.000 at the Oval Office

00:16:08.820 and there she is.

00:16:10.040 But what we have

00:16:10.780 is a weird situation.

00:16:11.840 She's polling 0.69

00:16:12.340 at 28% approval.

00:16:14.500 Can somebody do me

00:16:15.320 a quick fact check

00:16:16.240 on Congress's approval

00:16:17.640 at the moment?

00:16:18.920 You know,

00:16:19.140 any of the major polls?

00:16:21.020 Is it around,

00:16:21.880 it's in the teens,

00:16:22.800 right?

00:16:23.740 Between 10 to,

00:16:25.840 yeah,

00:16:26.060 13%

00:16:27.020 somebody's saying?

00:16:28.340 So we've got

00:16:28.960 a president

00:16:29.460 at 28%

00:16:30.500 and a Congress

00:16:31.140 at 13%?

00:16:33.660 I guess it depends

00:16:34.720 what poll.

00:16:37.760 9%,

00:16:38.280 somebody says

00:16:39.060 22%,

00:16:39.920 is that Harris's approval?

00:16:41.960 Anyway,

00:16:42.520 we have the lowest

00:16:43.460 rated government

00:16:44.540 in the history

00:16:45.460 of the United States,

00:16:46.860 I think.

00:16:47.760 I mean,

00:16:48.080 maybe the Civil War

00:16:49.060 was worse.

00:16:50.300 But in the modern times,

00:16:51.620 isn't this the lowest

00:16:53.420 rating we've ever had

00:16:54.460 for a government?

00:16:55.220 I think it is.

00:16:57.340 Yeah.

00:16:58.720 Trump would be

00:16:59.880 roughly double that.

00:17:02.160 Right?

00:17:03.400 Harris has roughly

00:17:04.540 half of the approval

00:17:05.780 of Trump would have

00:17:07.040 if he just walked in

00:17:08.040 and ran for office.

00:17:12.180 Interestingly,

00:17:13.260 Harris's communications

00:17:15.180 director resigned.

00:17:17.040 now,

00:17:18.960 I have some respect

00:17:21.140 for the communications

00:17:22.220 director for the resignation.

00:17:24.760 Because very clearly,

00:17:26.420 the communication director,

00:17:28.280 assuming that that person

00:17:29.320 had some talent,

00:17:30.680 could not have had

00:17:31.540 any influence on her.

00:17:33.380 Right?

00:17:33.580 because we saw

00:17:35.240 the worst

00:17:35.780 communicating

00:17:36.640 I've ever seen.

00:17:38.260 I've never seen anybody

00:17:39.440 who was this bad

00:17:40.960 at public speaking.

00:17:42.400 Anybody ever.

00:17:44.160 Anybody.

00:17:44.900 At least people

00:17:46.300 in the public domain.

00:17:49.900 And so

00:17:50.540 our communications

00:17:51.240 director quits.

00:17:52.420 Now,

00:17:52.640 have you tried to read,

00:17:53.900 have you ever tried to read

00:17:55.020 a Harris tweet?

00:17:56.580 Now,

00:17:58.900 I don't know

00:17:59.180 if the communications

00:17:59.960 director was directly

00:18:01.160 in charge of the tweeting,

00:18:02.780 but I just want

00:18:04.360 to open up

00:18:04.940 any

00:18:05.420 Harris tweet.

00:18:08.360 I haven't

00:18:09.280 looked at this,

00:18:10.160 but I'm just

00:18:10.880 going on my own

00:18:11.940 memory of things.

00:18:16.980 Just watch

00:18:17.780 how boring this is.

00:18:19.560 This is a

00:18:20.000 Kamala Harris tweet

00:18:20.880 from 13 hours ago.

00:18:22.500 Today I met

00:18:23.180 with President

00:18:23.740 Lopez Obergara

00:18:25.060 of Mexico

00:18:25.560 in my ceremonial

00:18:26.560 office.

00:18:27.460 Our administration

00:18:28.120 is engaged

00:18:29.080 in ongoing

00:18:29.700 discussions

00:18:30.260 with Mexico.

00:18:34.360 We discussed

00:18:35.480 the steps

00:18:36.000 we are taking

00:18:36.580 to address

00:18:37.060 the root causes

00:18:38.820 of migration

00:18:44.540 in addition

00:18:45.480 to water sharing

00:18:46.360 and space.

00:18:49.040 Is that

00:18:49.840 the most

00:18:50.440 generic

00:18:51.520 tweet

00:18:52.520 you've ever heard

00:18:53.480 in your life?

00:18:55.340 Her tweets

00:18:56.240 are lifeless.

00:18:58.200 They're absolutely

00:18:59.300 lifeless.

00:19:00.560 Now I get

00:19:01.160 that she's

00:19:01.560 vice president,

00:19:02.340 right?

00:19:02.580 It's not like

00:19:03.160 Pence was

00:19:03.780 the tweeting

00:19:05.920 champion of the

00:19:06.660 world or anything.

00:19:07.940 Vice presidents

00:19:08.800 need to be a little

00:19:09.520 bit boring,

00:19:10.120 but you could

00:19:11.700 be a little

00:19:12.240 less boring.

00:19:13.820 Couldn't you?

00:19:15.280 I mean,

00:19:16.820 this takes

00:19:17.440 boring to a

00:19:18.160 new level.

00:19:18.680 So if you

00:19:20.820 look at

00:19:21.200 let me take

00:19:22.780 some

00:19:23.000 counter

00:19:23.420 examples.

00:19:24.440 Take

00:19:24.680 Ted Cruz.

00:19:27.200 Does Ted Cruz

00:19:28.220 understand

00:19:29.200 Twitter?

00:19:31.000 Yeah,

00:19:31.240 he does.

00:19:32.100 I'm not sure

00:19:32.600 he always did.

00:19:33.960 You know,

00:19:34.200 if you looked

00:19:34.840 at the early

00:19:35.520 Ted Cruz

00:19:36.140 tweets,

00:19:37.200 were they all

00:19:37.940 provocative and

00:19:38.800 interesting?

00:19:39.380 Probably not.

00:19:40.920 But do you

00:19:41.360 think Ted Cruz

00:19:42.020 learned what

00:19:43.560 social media is

00:19:44.400 all about and

00:19:45.020 how to move

00:19:45.780 the energy and

00:19:46.780 how to be

00:19:47.540 interesting and

00:19:48.300 draw?

00:19:48.560 Yeah.

00:19:49.600 Yeah,

00:19:49.920 Ted Cruz is one

00:19:50.640 of the best

00:19:50.980 tweeters out

00:19:51.640 there.

00:19:52.160 You can hate

00:19:52.600 him for

00:19:52.920 politics.

00:19:53.620 That's a

00:19:53.900 different question.

00:19:55.060 But his

00:19:55.500 tweeting and

00:19:56.240 communication are

00:19:57.020 extraordinary.

00:19:58.180 Really good.

00:19:59.560 So I think

00:20:00.480 you see a lot

00:20:01.260 of tweeters who

00:20:02.780 learn from

00:20:03.540 Trump that at

00:20:04.900 least a little

00:20:05.560 bit of

00:20:06.040 provocation helps

00:20:08.260 your communication.

00:20:09.020 Harris,

00:20:10.420 not so much.

00:20:12.780 Well,

00:20:13.500 here's some

00:20:14.100 more probably

00:20:15.140 fake news,

00:20:16.080 I'm going to

00:20:16.420 call it.

00:20:16.980 You know the

00:20:17.380 story about

00:20:17.940 the Rittenhouse

00:20:18.740 jurors were

00:20:20.660 allegedly followed

00:20:21.560 by somebody

00:20:22.460 allegedly who

00:20:23.220 worked for

00:20:23.640 NBC and

00:20:25.120 then Rittenhouse

00:20:26.160 judge decided

00:20:27.120 to kick

00:20:27.540 MSNBC out

00:20:28.760 of the

00:20:29.140 courthouse so

00:20:30.840 they can't be

00:20:31.480 there in

00:20:31.900 attendance anymore

00:20:32.820 for the live

00:20:34.100 stuff.

00:20:36.800 Here's the

00:20:37.460 question.

00:20:37.840 I don't

00:20:38.980 know if

00:20:39.220 any of

00:20:39.580 this was

00:20:39.920 true because

00:20:41.220 it's still

00:20:41.560 the fog

00:20:42.040 of war

00:20:42.360 stage,

00:20:43.020 right?

00:20:44.840 Now,

00:20:45.520 apparently

00:20:45.940 the alleged

00:20:48.160 NBC

00:20:48.740 employee or

00:20:50.400 I don't

00:20:50.920 know if he

00:20:51.200 was an

00:20:51.420 employer or

00:20:51.980 contractor or

00:20:52.640 what,

00:20:53.840 but he

00:20:54.940 claims he

00:20:55.400 had no

00:20:55.720 intention of

00:20:57.640 filming them

00:20:58.460 or whatever.

00:21:01.180 But nobody

00:21:01.780 believes that.

00:21:02.820 He's

00:21:03.080 freelance.

00:21:04.720 Somebody

00:21:05.060 says he's

00:21:05.520 freelance.

00:21:05.900 But apparently

00:21:07.880 he might have

00:21:08.280 been on

00:21:08.580 an assignment.

00:21:09.200 We don't

00:21:09.460 know that.

00:21:11.060 So I

00:21:11.480 would say

00:21:11.920 at the

00:21:12.840 moment you

00:21:13.360 should be

00:21:14.140 skeptical of

00:21:15.040 every part of

00:21:15.740 that story.

00:21:19.140 MSNBC admits

00:21:20.200 that it

00:21:20.540 happened,

00:21:21.680 but the part

00:21:22.400 they admit is

00:21:23.620 that they

00:21:24.000 sent somebody

00:21:24.660 on an

00:21:25.100 assignment or

00:21:25.900 somebody who

00:21:27.020 was on an

00:21:27.460 assignment for

00:21:27.960 them did it.

00:21:28.460 I would

00:21:30.080 wait to see

00:21:31.460 what we

00:21:32.160 know about

00:21:32.700 this.

00:21:34.080 Because it's

00:21:34.620 possible the

00:21:35.260 assignment would

00:21:36.020 tell us,

00:21:36.520 you know,

00:21:36.780 exactly what

00:21:37.300 the assignment

00:21:37.740 was,

00:21:38.580 would tell us

00:21:39.160 what he was

00:21:39.540 up to.

00:21:40.080 Maybe.

00:21:40.740 I'm going to

00:21:41.120 stay open

00:21:41.560 minded.

00:21:42.380 My first

00:21:43.080 reaction to

00:21:43.600 it is the

00:21:43.980 same as

00:21:44.280 yours,

00:21:45.220 which is

00:21:45.640 horror.

00:21:46.760 Just horror.

00:21:48.840 You know

00:21:49.520 that I've

00:21:49.880 said that our

00:21:51.560 court system,

00:21:52.440 with all of

00:21:53.000 its problems,

00:21:54.100 I mean,

00:21:54.560 nothing is

00:21:55.120 perfect,

00:21:55.560 right?

00:21:55.780 Our court

00:21:56.160 system has

00:21:56.720 all kinds

00:21:57.100 of flaws.

00:21:59.760 But it's

00:22:00.420 also the

00:22:01.000 crown jewel

00:22:01.620 of the

00:22:02.300 republic.

00:22:03.640 And if we

00:22:04.060 lost the

00:22:04.600 court system,

00:22:05.440 everything else

00:22:05.960 falls apart.

00:22:07.540 Would you

00:22:07.880 agree?

00:22:08.660 If you

00:22:09.220 lose the

00:22:09.620 courts,

00:22:10.260 if they're

00:22:10.860 not credible,

00:22:11.660 everything else

00:22:12.120 falls apart.

00:22:13.860 And here

00:22:15.080 we have a

00:22:16.040 major news

00:22:16.680 organization who

00:22:17.880 is allegedly

00:22:19.100 associated with

00:22:20.320 our own

00:22:20.760 intelligence

00:22:21.260 agencies.

00:22:22.820 You know,

00:22:23.020 the people who

00:22:23.780 know more

00:22:24.520 about this

00:22:24.980 than I do

00:22:25.560 claim that

00:22:26.720 NBC is

00:22:27.360 basically just

00:22:28.280 an organ

00:22:28.860 for the

00:22:29.260 CIA.

00:22:30.660 You've

00:22:31.180 heard that,

00:22:31.600 right?

00:22:32.480 And there's

00:22:33.100 plenty of

00:22:33.500 evidence for

00:22:34.100 it.

00:22:34.440 I mean,

00:22:34.760 the evidence

00:22:35.240 is overwhelming.

00:22:36.560 It's just

00:22:37.000 that I don't

00:22:37.480 personally make

00:22:38.100 that claim

00:22:38.620 because,

00:22:39.960 I mean,

00:22:41.120 I don't

00:22:41.480 know.

00:22:42.180 But smart

00:22:42.600 people say

00:22:43.100 it's true.

00:22:44.040 And there's

00:22:44.560 plenty of

00:22:45.220 evidence for

00:22:45.740 it.

00:22:47.280 This would

00:22:47.980 mean that

00:22:48.460 our own

00:22:48.960 country tried

00:22:49.680 to destroy

00:22:50.220 the republic

00:22:50.780 by taking

00:22:52.040 out the

00:22:52.600 most vulnerable

00:22:53.800 part of the

00:22:54.840 most important

00:22:55.500 part of our

00:22:56.220 entire structure.

00:22:58.060 So the

00:22:58.300 most important

00:22:59.160 part of our

00:22:59.880 republic is

00:23:01.140 the court

00:23:01.460 system.

00:23:02.680 And what's

00:23:03.220 the most

00:23:03.540 important part

00:23:04.160 of the

00:23:04.360 court system?

00:23:07.600 Jury of

00:23:08.340 your peers.

00:23:10.000 That keeps

00:23:11.680 the whole 0.99

00:23:12.340 fucking 1.00

00:23:12.780 country together. 1.00

00:23:14.800 Let me

00:23:15.320 say it

00:23:15.600 again.

00:23:16.920 Jury of

00:23:17.660 your peers

00:23:18.280 is where

00:23:19.980 all credibility

00:23:21.120 comes from.

00:23:21.720 the entire 1.00

00:23:23.480 fucking 1.00

00:23:24.640 republic 1.00

00:23:25.320 depends on

00:23:26.660 that.

00:23:27.740 You take

00:23:28.120 that one

00:23:28.520 thing away,

00:23:29.200 it all

00:23:29.520 falls apart.

00:23:31.100 Almost

00:23:31.580 everything else

00:23:32.200 you could

00:23:32.540 paper over

00:23:33.480 and fix.

00:23:34.340 You see

00:23:34.720 how terrible

00:23:35.160 Congress is,

00:23:36.000 but somehow

00:23:36.680 some bills

00:23:37.500 still get

00:23:37.900 passed.

00:23:39.000 But if

00:23:39.760 you take

00:23:40.100 out the

00:23:40.600 peer

00:23:42.200 trial by

00:23:44.320 your peers,

00:23:44.960 you take

00:23:45.300 that out,

00:23:46.480 the whole

00:23:46.840 thing falls

00:23:47.280 apart.

00:23:48.500 And NBC

00:23:49.320 just went

00:23:49.820 after that.

00:23:50.540 just went

00:23:52.020 after the

00:23:52.400 most

00:23:52.580 vulnerable

00:23:53.120 part of

00:23:53.660 the

00:23:53.760 republic.

00:23:55.200 Maybe.

00:23:56.300 I mean,

00:23:56.640 we'll wait

00:23:57.040 to hear what

00:23:57.440 they say.

00:23:58.200 If they

00:23:58.740 say something

00:23:59.320 that was,

00:24:00.880 maybe they

00:24:01.400 were going

00:24:01.600 to add

00:24:01.780 some color

00:24:02.340 to a

00:24:02.720 story,

00:24:03.280 like something

00:24:04.480 about how

00:24:05.060 the jurors

00:24:06.820 live in a

00:24:07.540 generic way,

00:24:08.340 maybe the

00:24:08.840 story was

00:24:09.280 going to

00:24:09.460 be that

00:24:10.960 the jurors

00:24:11.760 are in

00:24:12.100 a nondescript

00:24:13.280 hotel,

00:24:14.440 something like

00:24:15.560 that.

00:24:17.380 I'm willing

00:24:18.200 to listen

00:24:18.840 to their

00:24:19.280 side of

00:24:19.720 it.

00:24:20.720 But on

00:24:21.120 the surface,

00:24:21.800 it looks like

00:24:22.180 they tried

00:24:22.560 to take

00:24:22.940 out the

00:24:23.260 republic.

00:24:25.340 Accidentally?

00:24:25.960 I don't

00:24:26.180 know.

00:24:27.620 Intentionally?

00:24:28.380 I can't

00:24:29.020 read their

00:24:29.340 minds.

00:24:30.980 I guess I

00:24:31.820 can't put

00:24:32.180 intention in

00:24:32.840 there, but

00:24:33.240 how the

00:24:34.000 hell would 0.56

00:24:34.320 you not

00:24:34.720 know this

00:24:35.140 would destroy

00:24:35.680 the republic?

00:24:37.240 How would

00:24:37.780 you not

00:24:38.100 know that?

00:24:40.320 I don't

00:24:40.860 know.

00:24:41.060 here's

00:24:47.200 some more

00:24:47.620 fake news.

00:24:49.880 CNN is

00:24:50.720 still writing

00:24:51.320 that the

00:24:51.960 dossier

00:24:53.120 wasn't

00:24:55.320 totally

00:24:55.860 debunked

00:24:56.980 because we

00:24:57.900 do know

00:24:58.380 that the

00:24:58.780 Trump campaign

00:24:59.440 really did

00:25:00.140 want Russian

00:25:00.760 help.

00:25:01.800 They write

00:25:02.320 it with a

00:25:02.880 link to

00:25:04.320 support

00:25:04.820 their

00:25:05.500 assertion

00:25:07.100 that the

00:25:08.240 Trump campaign

00:25:08.940 really did

00:25:09.560 want that

00:25:09.980 Russian help.

00:25:11.060 Now, if you

00:25:11.460 don't click

00:25:11.980 on the

00:25:12.340 link, it's

00:25:14.600 a news

00:25:14.980 site, right?

00:25:16.120 If a

00:25:16.680 news site

00:25:17.400 tells you

00:25:18.560 in a

00:25:18.920 news article,

00:25:20.020 not an

00:25:20.340 opinion

00:25:20.580 article, but

00:25:21.760 a news

00:25:22.320 article, and

00:25:23.640 they tell

00:25:24.020 you that

00:25:24.620 the Trump

00:25:26.400 campaign wanted

00:25:27.360 Russian help,

00:25:28.820 you'd believe

00:25:29.440 it, wouldn't

00:25:29.880 you?

00:25:30.980 Would you

00:25:31.380 click on the

00:25:31.960 link to see

00:25:32.480 what they

00:25:32.860 meant as

00:25:33.520 their example

00:25:34.100 of that?

00:25:35.140 Well, I

00:25:35.500 clicked on the

00:25:36.020 link because

00:25:37.240 I wondered if

00:25:37.960 it was 1.00

00:25:38.280 bullshit. 1.00

00:25:39.320 Here are the 1.00

00:25:39.780 two things

00:25:40.400 that they

00:25:40.680 still say

00:25:42.420 are the

00:25:44.140 Trump campaign

00:25:44.820 asking for

00:25:45.480 Russian help.

00:25:46.720 It was when

00:25:47.260 Don Jr.

00:25:47.860 and Jared

00:25:48.680 took a

00:25:49.240 meeting in

00:25:49.920 the Trump

00:25:50.380 building about

00:25:52.920 maybe some

00:25:53.780 Hillary dirt. 1.00

00:25:56.240 Now, keep in

00:25:56.740 mind, it's

00:25:57.220 somebody they

00:25:57.860 knew, and

00:25:59.180 all they had

00:25:59.660 to do is

00:26:00.080 walk downstairs

00:26:00.780 to hear it.

00:26:02.180 That's it.

00:26:02.660 That was the

00:26:03.000 entire effort.

00:26:04.300 If you just

00:26:04.740 walk downstairs,

00:26:06.240 we might tell

00:26:07.120 you something

00:26:07.520 important that

00:26:08.440 might come

00:26:08.880 from Russia.

00:26:11.020 Who doesn't

00:26:11.820 take that

00:26:12.240 meeting?

00:26:13.660 Seriously.

00:26:14.940 Who doesn't

00:26:15.740 take that

00:26:16.160 meeting?

00:26:17.160 I would.

00:26:19.140 And I

00:26:19.720 would go

00:26:20.000 further, and

00:26:20.480 I would say,

00:26:20.840 if you didn't

00:26:21.320 take that

00:26:21.680 meeting, you'd 1.00

00:26:22.140 be an idiot. 1.00

00:26:23.840 Because what's 1.00

00:26:24.800 the worst that

00:26:25.440 could happen?

00:26:26.980 Nothing, right?

00:26:28.420 Well, I guess it

00:26:29.320 turned into an

00:26:29.900 international thing.

00:26:31.720 But here's how I

00:26:32.600 would have played

00:26:33.060 it, and I've

00:26:33.440 said this before.

00:26:34.800 First, you find

00:26:35.660 out what they

00:26:36.100 have to say, and

00:26:37.820 then if you need

00:26:38.380 to bring the

00:26:38.820 FBI in, or

00:26:39.880 somebody else, then

00:26:41.100 you do it.

00:26:42.060 But why would you

00:26:42.760 bring the FBI in

00:26:43.680 before you knew if

00:26:44.320 there was anything

00:26:44.800 there?

00:26:45.920 Because it's

00:26:46.520 somebody you know,

00:26:47.960 and sure enough,

00:26:49.460 nothing was there.

00:26:50.800 It was actually a

00:26:51.840 bait and switch, and

00:26:52.560 there wasn't any

00:26:53.140 Hillary dirt at

00:26:53.900 all.

00:26:54.960 So, if you have

00:26:56.680 any business

00:26:57.480 experience whatsoever,

00:27:00.180 number one, you

00:27:01.280 say to yourself,

00:27:02.000 this is probably not

00:27:02.900 what they say it

00:27:03.580 is.

00:27:04.540 Right?

00:27:05.480 How often do you

00:27:06.340 go to a meeting

00:27:06.900 and you're surprised?

00:27:08.100 It's pretty common.

00:27:09.720 Right?

00:27:10.020 So, the first thing

00:27:10.800 you do if you had

00:27:11.560 business savvy is

00:27:13.120 say, I don't even

00:27:14.160 know if they have

00:27:14.720 anything from

00:27:15.320 anybody, but this

00:27:16.640 is a friend of

00:27:17.240 ours, and it's

00:27:17.760 just downstairs, and

00:27:18.800 it's just ten

00:27:19.320 minutes, because we

00:27:20.080 can leave when we

00:27:20.700 want.

00:27:21.880 Let's just see what

00:27:22.580 they have to say.

00:27:23.900 That would be a

00:27:24.480 reasonable business

00:27:25.420 thing to do.

00:27:28.680 Now, suppose that

00:27:30.920 you got actual dirt,

00:27:32.280 and then you knew

00:27:32.760 it came from

00:27:33.280 Russia.

00:27:34.080 What do you do

00:27:35.020 then?

00:27:36.000 Well, you know the

00:27:37.280 dirt, so now it's

00:27:38.200 useful to you, which

00:27:39.620 is cool, and then

00:27:41.380 you also do the

00:27:42.080 right thing.

00:27:42.680 You turn it over to

00:27:43.340 the FBI and say,

00:27:45.120 hey, we got some

00:27:45.720 stuff, this isn't

00:27:46.600 cool, but I'm glad

00:27:48.340 we know it, because

00:27:49.340 it's true.

00:27:50.680 You know, you'd

00:27:51.160 probably need another

00:27:52.000 source.

00:27:52.460 You wouldn't want to

00:27:53.000 trust the Russians.

00:27:53.920 But if the Russians 0.78

00:27:54.680 told you something

00:27:55.360 that you could check

00:27:56.080 out, wouldn't you

00:27:58.020 want to know?

00:27:58.420 How is that bad?

00:28:00.120 You know, but CNN,

00:28:03.000 just by labeling it

00:28:04.740 the way they do, and

00:28:06.420 knowing you won't

00:28:06.960 check the details, they

00:28:08.560 don't know that if you

00:28:09.300 checked it, you would

00:28:10.040 find experienced

00:28:11.160 business people, Jared

00:28:13.200 and Don Jr., very

00:28:15.520 experienced business

00:28:16.360 people, doing exactly

00:28:18.240 what experienced

00:28:19.220 business people would

00:28:20.280 do in that situation.

00:28:22.280 They did exactly what I

00:28:23.600 would do.

00:28:23.900 I'd take the

00:28:24.980 meeting, because it

00:28:25.660 was easy.

00:28:26.760 Maybe it has some

00:28:27.620 payoff, maybe it

00:28:28.500 doesn't.

00:28:29.320 Maybe I need to get

00:28:30.180 the FBI involved, maybe

00:28:32.020 I don't.

00:28:33.120 But I'd at least find

00:28:33.960 out what's going on

00:28:34.820 before I made any

00:28:35.520 decisions.

00:28:37.580 All right.

00:28:39.400 And then the other

00:28:40.220 thing was Trump

00:28:41.180 making his joke in

00:28:42.180 public, you know, at

00:28:43.600 some debate, Russia,

00:28:44.780 if you have those

00:28:45.320 emails, and CNN is

00:28:47.620 trying to play that

00:28:48.380 off as, oh, yeah,

00:28:50.560 he always pretends

00:28:51.560 like it's a joke.

00:28:53.900 But I thought it

00:28:56.800 was obviously a joke.

00:28:58.580 Now, that doesn't

00:28:59.260 mean he didn't want

00:29:00.080 it.

00:29:01.300 Why wouldn't you

00:29:02.100 want that?

00:29:03.140 And what's wrong

00:29:03.760 with that?

00:29:04.860 What's wrong with

00:29:05.800 wanting some real

00:29:07.680 information?

00:29:08.420 You know, he didn't 1.00

00:29:08.840 ask for bullshit. 1.00

00:29:10.720 What's wrong with 1.00

00:29:11.520 finding out stuff,

00:29:12.380 even if you find it

00:29:13.240 out from the wrong

00:29:14.380 source?

00:29:15.380 Is there something

00:29:15.960 wrong with the

00:29:16.480 information?

00:29:18.780 Now, obviously, you

00:29:19.880 don't want Russia 0.97

00:29:20.760 hacking anybody in the

00:29:22.000 United States.

00:29:22.500 But that part

00:29:24.300 seemed like the

00:29:24.940 joke.

00:29:27.880 I've told you that

00:29:28.840 the energy, at

00:29:30.820 least in my life,

00:29:31.940 and it feels like

00:29:32.720 the country, is

00:29:34.500 really wonky right

00:29:35.980 now.

00:29:36.800 Some of you feel

00:29:37.640 it, right?

00:29:38.420 There's something

00:29:39.200 about the world

00:29:41.540 that feels like

00:29:44.480 something's getting

00:29:45.080 ready to happen.

00:29:47.180 I don't know if

00:29:48.120 it's just politics.

00:29:49.500 I don't think it's

00:29:50.460 a war.

00:29:51.880 I don't feel that

00:29:52.840 at all.

00:29:53.380 Does anybody?

00:29:54.320 I don't feel a

00:29:55.260 civil war.

00:29:56.120 I don't feel a

00:29:56.660 nuclear war.

00:29:58.500 I don't feel a war

00:29:59.460 at all.

00:30:01.680 I mean, it might be

00:30:02.480 low-level conflict

00:30:03.420 somewhere.

00:30:04.040 But I don't think

00:30:04.760 that's what's

00:30:05.200 happening.

00:30:06.620 It feels different.

00:30:09.400 But I tweeted

00:30:10.240 today, and I'm going

00:30:11.160 to go through my

00:30:11.760 tweet, because I

00:30:12.580 think it's worth

00:30:13.080 it, of just

00:30:16.780 what I think

00:30:17.200 might be going

00:30:17.820 on, and I

00:30:19.160 think it's an

00:30:20.760 awareness shift.

00:30:22.900 I think the

00:30:23.800 world goes through

00:30:24.720 various levels of

00:30:25.880 awareness shifts

00:30:27.420 as we move from

00:30:29.560 primitive to more

00:30:31.300 civilized, and we

00:30:32.320 learn more.

00:30:33.660 And let me just

00:30:34.480 run through a few

00:30:35.320 of these things

00:30:36.420 that have changed

00:30:38.120 just in the recent

00:30:38.920 years.

00:30:39.320 Now, you might

00:30:39.720 disagree with some

00:30:40.500 of them, but hear

00:30:42.300 them in their

00:30:42.800 totality before you

00:30:44.100 disagree with the

00:30:44.780 specifics.

00:30:46.360 I would say that

00:30:47.480 what's changed

00:30:48.680 recently, just the

00:30:49.600 last few years, is

00:30:50.820 that everyone

00:30:51.480 understands their

00:30:52.320 own news is fake.

00:30:54.580 You used to think

00:30:55.720 the fake news was

00:30:56.620 only on the other

00:30:57.280 side, right?

00:30:59.680 Right?

00:31:00.820 Now you know it's

00:31:01.620 on both sides.

00:31:02.580 You know that you

00:31:03.400 have also been

00:31:04.560 fooled by your own

00:31:05.380 news sources.

00:31:06.620 Now, in my

00:31:07.980 opinion, the left

00:31:10.300 is a little more

00:31:11.040 accurate on the

00:31:11.920 news.

00:31:13.820 But there's still

00:31:14.640 plenty of criticism

00:31:16.100 to go around, I

00:31:17.000 would say.

00:31:18.180 So, you know, if

00:31:19.140 you take the

00:31:19.580 Kraken, the

00:31:20.220 Kraken's a perfect 1.00

00:31:20.980 example.

00:31:21.580 That was fake

00:31:22.740 news on the

00:31:23.360 left, sorry, on

00:31:24.440 the right.

00:31:26.380 So I think we

00:31:27.220 now understand that

00:31:28.040 our own news

00:31:28.640 sources can be

00:31:29.400 wrong just as

00:31:30.840 easily as the

00:31:31.480 other teams.

00:31:32.700 And that's

00:31:33.020 different.

00:31:34.200 How about our

00:31:34.880 awareness about

00:31:35.560 China? 0.73

00:31:37.020 I think Trump

00:31:37.820 did that for us.

00:31:39.500 By the way, I

00:31:40.040 think Trump is

00:31:40.860 the reason we

00:31:41.420 understand fake

00:31:42.180 news is fake

00:31:42.800 news.

00:31:43.280 I think he did

00:31:43.820 that, which is

00:31:44.660 what I predicted

00:31:45.260 he would do,

00:31:46.120 change how we

00:31:46.720 saw reality.

00:31:48.180 Our awareness

00:31:48.840 about China has

00:31:49.820 completely changed.

00:31:51.340 Completely.

00:31:51.980 And China is the 0.90

00:31:52.600 biggest thing in

00:31:53.900 the world.

00:31:54.460 And if your

00:31:55.500 impression of the

00:31:56.320 biggest thing in

00:31:57.080 the world changes,

00:31:58.780 you're going to

00:31:59.380 feel it, right?

00:32:00.580 That's a big deal.

00:32:02.720 Do you remember

00:32:03.480 it was only a few

00:32:04.320 years ago, nuclear

00:32:05.260 energy was bad, and

00:32:07.060 now it's the green

00:32:07.980 solution that will

00:32:08.780 save the world?

00:32:10.040 What?

00:32:12.220 That's a big

00:32:13.020 difference.

00:32:14.700 And each of

00:32:15.660 these have the

00:32:16.860 quality that our

00:32:19.120 awareness is

00:32:19.920 higher.

00:32:21.360 It's not just our

00:32:22.540 information that's

00:32:23.440 different, it's our

00:32:24.160 awareness of how

00:32:26.800 we've been fooled

00:32:27.500 that's different.

00:32:28.440 Because the nuclear

00:32:29.800 energy thing was

00:32:30.820 always an awareness

00:32:31.620 problem.

00:32:32.760 People believed it

00:32:34.280 was worse than it

00:32:35.100 is, and now they've

00:32:37.060 been corrected on

00:32:37.960 that.

00:32:38.160 So they can

00:32:38.840 understand how

00:32:39.500 they could be so

00:32:40.100 wrong and be

00:32:42.040 wrong for a long

00:32:42.700 time.

00:32:44.200 How about the

00:32:46.980 fact that the

00:32:47.480 government is

00:32:48.240 probably on the

00:32:49.260 verge of becoming

00:32:50.040 full Republican in

00:32:51.560 a couple of

00:32:51.940 years?

00:32:53.340 That's something

00:32:54.160 pretty big.

00:32:55.460 Because it looks

00:32:56.040 like the Democrats 1.00

00:32:56.720 are just shitting 1.00

00:32:57.780 the bed so badly 0.99

00:32:58.780 every day that

00:33:00.120 they couldn't

00:33:00.520 possibly hold

00:33:01.260 Congress.

00:33:02.500 And I doubt

00:33:03.240 they'll hold the

00:33:03.740 presidency.

00:33:04.040 So, I mean, I

00:33:06.000 could be wrong

00:33:06.440 about that, and

00:33:06.980 that could change

00:33:07.500 three times before

00:33:08.480 any of these

00:33:09.080 elections, but at

00:33:10.320 the moment it

00:33:10.720 feels like that.

00:33:11.360 That may be part

00:33:11.940 of the energy

00:33:12.380 shift.

00:33:14.840 I think the

00:33:15.600 country has

00:33:16.040 realized that the

00:33:16.660 whole wokeness and

00:33:17.960 critical race theory

00:33:19.140 things were an

00:33:20.620 overreach.

00:33:22.320 We feel like we

00:33:23.480 reached the limit.

00:33:24.780 That feels

00:33:25.240 different, right?

00:33:26.480 Because when you

00:33:26.920 reach the limit,

00:33:28.280 your energy is

00:33:29.040 different.

00:33:30.300 Because when people

00:33:31.080 are just nudging you

00:33:32.240 a little bit,

00:33:32.720 and you're like,

00:33:33.120 all right, all

00:33:34.380 right, I've got

00:33:34.780 better things to

00:33:35.420 do.

00:33:35.880 All right, you

00:33:37.320 can have that

00:33:37.780 one.

00:33:38.000 I'm not going

00:33:38.300 to die on that

00:33:38.920 hill. 0.52

00:33:39.820 I don't like that,

00:33:40.880 but I've got

00:33:41.480 other things to

00:33:42.100 do.

00:33:42.720 And then you

00:33:43.180 hit the wall.

00:33:45.780 And I think a

00:33:47.020 lot of people

00:33:47.500 hit the wall.

00:33:49.120 And then that

00:33:49.840 changes your

00:33:50.380 energy.

00:33:50.940 All right, we

00:33:52.300 have now reached

00:33:52.860 the point where

00:33:53.860 I will take this

00:33:55.660 to the end of

00:33:56.200 the earth.

00:33:57.540 Before, I was

00:33:58.360 flexible.

00:33:59.300 But now you've

00:33:59.940 reached my limit.

00:34:01.360 That's my limit.

00:34:02.240 And now what

00:34:03.140 happens to my

00:34:03.840 energy?

00:34:04.300 My energy just

00:34:04.960 goes nuclear

00:34:05.920 because you

00:34:06.620 reached my

00:34:07.020 limit.

00:34:07.820 Some of that

00:34:08.300 might be

00:34:08.600 happening.

00:34:11.400 We used to

00:34:12.240 think that

00:34:12.680 official data

00:34:13.840 from the

00:34:14.320 government and

00:34:15.160 from big

00:34:15.580 companies was

00:34:16.300 probably mostly

00:34:17.720 honest and

00:34:18.620 sufficiently accurate

00:34:20.040 even if it had

00:34:20.680 some problems.

00:34:22.240 Do you believe

00:34:23.000 that anymore?

00:34:24.480 I think now we

00:34:25.460 believe that all

00:34:26.060 data is fake.

00:34:28.300 Because it

00:34:29.000 mostly is.

00:34:30.480 Now, maybe

00:34:31.540 not intentionally,

00:34:33.120 but there's

00:34:33.740 always some

00:34:34.200 context left

00:34:35.100 out or

00:34:35.520 something.

00:34:36.200 I think we're

00:34:36.780 now more

00:34:37.260 likely to think

00:34:37.980 that all data

00:34:38.580 is fake as

00:34:39.400 the default

00:34:40.120 assumption,

00:34:40.960 whereas it

00:34:41.240 used to be

00:34:41.580 the opposite.

00:34:42.440 Just a few

00:34:42.900 years ago.

00:34:44.760 A few years,

00:34:45.880 well, even

00:34:46.440 one year ago,

00:34:47.700 a lot of

00:34:48.140 people would

00:34:48.580 have said,

00:34:49.060 smart people,

00:34:50.240 would have

00:34:50.560 said that the

00:34:51.080 Second Amendment

00:34:51.660 doesn't protect

00:34:52.460 you from your

00:34:53.020 government because

00:34:54.440 the government has

00:34:55.100 better guns.

00:34:55.880 Do you

00:34:57.260 believe that

00:34:57.660 now?

00:34:59.180 Today?

00:35:00.200 Does anybody

00:35:00.760 believe that

00:35:01.360 guns are not

00:35:03.820 the only thing

00:35:04.360 keeping us from

00:35:05.040 being Australia?

00:35:07.400 I think Australia

00:35:08.580 gave you all the

00:35:09.440 learning you needed

00:35:10.180 on that.

00:35:11.280 Yeah.

00:35:12.020 The lockdown

00:35:13.120 that Australia

00:35:14.000 is experiencing,

00:35:15.140 that can't happen

00:35:15.780 here in America

00:35:16.940 because of the

00:35:18.380 Second Amendment.

00:35:20.240 I just don't

00:35:21.060 think it can

00:35:21.500 happen here.

00:35:23.620 All right.

00:35:23.960 We used to

00:35:26.360 believe that

00:35:26.780 humans make 1.00

00:35:27.340 decisions based

00:35:28.140 on facts and

00:35:28.900 reason.

00:35:29.460 Now, I didn't

00:35:30.040 believe that,

00:35:30.700 but many of

00:35:31.220 you did.

00:35:31.940 Do you believe

00:35:32.380 it anymore?

00:35:34.120 Now the words

00:35:35.900 cognitive dissonance

00:35:37.140 and confirmation

00:35:38.100 bias are common 1.00

00:35:39.960 knowledge.

00:35:41.420 They were not

00:35:42.100 common knowledge

00:35:42.800 five years ago.

00:35:44.060 There were things

00:35:44.560 that some nerds

00:35:45.260 like me talked

00:35:46.200 about.

00:35:47.180 But it is now

00:35:47.760 common knowledge

00:35:48.680 to understand that

00:35:49.600 we don't make

00:35:50.120 decisions based

00:35:50.940 on facts and

00:35:51.560 reason.

00:35:53.960 We used to

00:35:54.900 think there

00:35:55.180 was an

00:35:55.420 objective reality,

00:35:56.660 but now I

00:35:57.080 think we can

00:35:57.600 see that we're

00:35:58.340 watching our

00:35:58.860 own movies.

00:35:59.980 Would you

00:36:00.320 agree?

00:36:01.280 We used to

00:36:02.040 think, oh,

00:36:02.600 I'm seeing the

00:36:03.160 clear movie and

00:36:04.480 those other

00:36:04.900 people are just 1.00

00:36:05.420 being dumb. 1.00

00:36:06.580 But now you 1.00

00:36:07.440 realize some

00:36:09.120 of those other

00:36:09.680 people don't

00:36:11.120 have low IQs.

00:36:13.140 They're just

00:36:13.740 watching a

00:36:14.180 different movie.

00:36:15.480 You can't tell

00:36:16.160 which one's

00:36:16.600 right.

00:36:18.060 That's different.

00:36:19.500 That's different.

00:36:20.160 How about, we

00:36:22.820 used to believe

00:36:23.400 that if you

00:36:23.780 saw it on

00:36:24.200 video, it

00:36:24.780 was true.

00:36:26.500 Then there was

00:36:27.000 the fine people

00:36:27.680 hoax, edited

00:36:28.720 video.

00:36:29.420 Covington kids

00:36:30.200 hoax, edited

00:36:30.980 video.

00:36:31.840 Drinking bleach

00:36:32.640 hoax, edited

00:36:33.420 video.

00:36:34.440 And now what

00:36:35.200 happens when you

00:36:35.820 see a video?

00:36:37.580 You automatically

00:36:38.640 believe, or at

00:36:40.120 least the skeptical

00:36:41.080 part of your

00:36:41.700 brain is

00:36:42.560 automatically fired

00:36:43.420 up.

00:36:44.100 It's like, well,

00:36:45.080 let's see the

00:36:46.040 rest of the

00:36:46.420 video.

00:36:47.520 Let's see some

00:36:48.440 context.

00:36:48.960 So we went

00:36:50.200 from video

00:36:51.300 doesn't lie

00:36:52.160 to video

00:36:52.920 lies more

00:36:54.080 than anything.

00:36:55.560 Am I right?

00:36:56.480 That's just in

00:36:57.060 the last few

00:36:57.540 years that we

00:36:58.780 completely shifted

00:36:59.700 on what video

00:37:00.780 is and isn't.

00:37:02.340 And then, of

00:37:02.840 course, the

00:37:03.300 Russia collusion

00:37:04.120 hoax taught us

00:37:05.560 that there's no

00:37:06.140 limit to

00:37:06.780 government corruption.

00:37:08.800 I honestly

00:37:09.760 thought there was

00:37:10.380 a limit.

00:37:11.520 So here's another

00:37:12.120 case where I'm

00:37:13.000 going to admit

00:37:13.400 I'm wrong.

00:37:14.840 When the people

00:37:16.500 on the right

00:37:16.880 were first

00:37:17.500 talking about

00:37:18.240 the Russia

00:37:18.700 collusion hoax

00:37:19.480 being a

00:37:20.720 Hillary Clinton

00:37:21.640 paid operation

00:37:22.680 with the

00:37:24.040 deep state

00:37:24.680 behind it

00:37:25.480 and the

00:37:26.260 CIA was

00:37:27.240 part of it

00:37:28.080 and all

00:37:29.140 that, do

00:37:29.760 you know what

00:37:30.000 I thought?

00:37:31.080 I thought,

00:37:31.860 well, there

00:37:32.940 certainly is

00:37:33.880 something sketchy

00:37:34.720 going on here,

00:37:35.780 but it's not

00:37:36.560 that bad.

00:37:37.660 It's not like

00:37:38.280 a collusion

00:37:39.640 between intel

00:37:40.800 agencies and

00:37:41.720 Democrats and

00:37:42.640 it's not

00:37:43.440 that, but

00:37:45.440 it was.

00:37:46.000 it was every

00:37:47.840 bit of that.

00:37:49.380 The worst

00:37:49.960 thing you could

00:37:50.560 imagine that

00:37:51.440 anybody would

00:37:52.000 do to this

00:37:52.560 country, they

00:37:54.340 were doing it.

00:37:55.300 It's the worst

00:37:56.080 thing that your

00:37:57.060 government could

00:37:57.640 have done to

00:37:58.060 you, and they

00:37:59.100 were doing it

00:37:59.580 hard.

00:38:01.180 So my

00:38:02.080 understanding of

00:38:03.000 how far my

00:38:04.540 government would

00:38:05.240 go to retain

00:38:07.860 power and screw 0.76

00:38:08.880 the citizens is

00:38:09.800 way different than

00:38:10.580 it was a few

00:38:11.100 years ago.

00:38:12.160 Now I know

00:38:12.740 they'll do

00:38:13.040 anything.

00:38:13.340 I didn't

00:38:14.400 think that

00:38:14.820 before.

00:38:15.680 And they'll

00:38:16.080 tell any lie

00:38:16.900 because they

00:38:17.340 can get away

00:38:17.820 with it.

00:38:18.120 I didn't

00:38:18.360 think that.

00:38:19.280 I thought that

00:38:19.960 nobody would

00:38:20.480 lie in public

00:38:21.700 if it was easy

00:38:23.140 to fact check

00:38:23.900 them.

00:38:26.340 Wrong.

00:38:27.560 Wrong.

00:38:28.420 You can lie

00:38:29.040 all you want

00:38:29.500 in public because

00:38:30.740 you have your

00:38:31.220 own fact checkers.

00:38:32.540 The left has

00:38:33.120 theirs, the

00:38:33.700 right has

00:38:34.080 theirs.

00:38:35.220 So you can

00:38:35.740 lie about

00:38:36.400 anything now.

00:38:37.160 That's different.

00:38:38.300 At least it's

00:38:39.040 different in how

00:38:39.540 I understand it.

00:38:40.860 So here's what

00:38:41.460 I think is

00:38:41.880 happening.

00:38:42.140 This big energy

00:38:42.980 shift is about

00:38:44.480 people moving to

00:38:45.860 another level of

00:38:46.780 awareness.

00:38:48.300 I think

00:38:48.760 civilization just

00:38:51.360 got a big

00:38:51.880 promotion in

00:38:53.440 terms of our

00:38:54.040 understanding of

00:38:55.060 the reality such

00:38:56.720 that it is.

00:38:57.480 And also the

00:38:58.080 simulation theory

00:38:58.920 went from crazy

00:39:00.900 people to maybe.

00:39:03.740 Right?

00:39:04.780 Five years ago

00:39:05.960 were people

00:39:07.440 serious about the

00:39:08.560 simulation theory?

00:39:09.540 A few.

00:39:09.900 But now I

00:39:12.940 meet people

00:39:13.440 every day who

00:39:14.640 buy into the

00:39:15.280 simulation theory

00:39:16.060 as well.

00:39:17.040 That's where the

00:39:17.580 math suggests

00:39:18.480 things are.

00:39:21.180 What's this?

00:39:22.760 This got

00:39:23.560 predicted.

00:39:25.540 Right.

00:39:28.120 He used to

00:39:28.680 think that

00:39:29.000 voting mattered.

00:39:29.840 Oh, I never

00:39:30.320 thought that.

00:39:32.440 Another topic.

00:39:35.180 DJ Vlad.

00:39:36.200 Do you know

00:39:38.320 how many of you

00:39:39.100 know DJ?

00:39:40.140 DJ Vlad of

00:39:41.860 VladTV.com.

00:39:44.540 I'm just

00:39:45.100 wondering if

00:39:45.580 there's like a

00:39:46.300 complete lack of

00:39:47.400 knowledge about him

00:39:48.140 on the right.

00:39:50.860 Some of you

00:39:51.980 are seeing.

00:39:53.680 Okay, you've heard

00:39:54.420 of him.

00:39:54.600 I only ask

00:39:55.660 because I

00:39:56.260 think his

00:39:57.060 audience is

00:39:57.960 mostly the

00:39:59.100 left, mostly

00:39:59.900 black America.

00:40:02.000 But he also

00:40:03.540 interviewed me

00:40:04.260 when he was

00:40:05.060 trying to figure

00:40:05.560 out Trump.

00:40:07.020 So he came to

00:40:07.800 my house and

00:40:08.980 for the benefit

00:40:09.600 of his audience

00:40:10.540 interviewed me

00:40:12.140 to explain why

00:40:13.280 anybody would

00:40:14.040 want to vote

00:40:14.580 for Trump.

00:40:15.780 So I have

00:40:16.660 great respect

00:40:17.240 for DJ Vlad.

00:40:19.380 You should

00:40:19.700 follow him,

00:40:20.200 by the way.

00:40:21.060 Great content.

00:40:21.940 Anyway, he

00:40:24.040 tweeted this.

00:40:24.640 He said,

00:40:24.880 which Marvel

00:40:25.440 movie had the

00:40:26.120 best script?

00:40:27.120 Not the best

00:40:27.740 special effects,

00:40:29.500 but the best

00:40:31.680 script.

00:40:33.340 And I tweeted

00:40:34.300 back, they have

00:40:36.280 different stories.

00:40:38.500 I thought all

00:40:39.340 the Marvel

00:40:40.680 movies were the

00:40:41.440 same story.

00:40:43.220 Am I wrong?

00:40:45.460 There's something

00:40:46.980 bad happened to

00:40:48.100 the world and

00:40:49.040 maybe somebody's

00:40:51.080 personal life

00:40:51.860 was at risk

00:40:52.720 and there was

00:40:53.940 a very powerful

00:40:55.180 villain and

00:40:55.980 they had to

00:40:56.420 fight that

00:40:56.860 villain and

00:40:58.100 toward the end

00:40:58.580 of the movie

00:40:59.000 it would look

00:40:59.460 like they

00:40:59.820 weren't going

00:41:00.200 to win,

00:41:00.860 but then they

00:41:01.520 do in the

00:41:02.720 end.

00:41:03.760 Are you telling

00:41:04.160 me that the

00:41:04.640 Marvel movies

00:41:05.280 have different

00:41:05.800 scripts?

00:41:07.500 No.

00:41:08.600 It's the same 0.53

00:41:09.340 script.

00:41:11.060 And beyond

00:41:12.020 that, as I've

00:41:13.740 taught you, I

00:41:14.280 think, in

00:41:14.820 script writing

00:41:15.540 terms, all

00:41:17.040 scripts that

00:41:17.740 become blockbusters

00:41:18.680 are the same

00:41:19.340 pattern.

00:41:20.240 They have to

00:41:20.660 be.

00:41:20.860 For whatever

00:41:21.820 reason, people

00:41:22.500 don't buy any

00:41:23.220 other pattern.

00:41:24.460 And this is

00:41:25.100 the script

00:41:26.000 pattern that

00:41:26.800 Marvel uses,

00:41:27.600 is the

00:41:28.540 classic one.

00:41:30.220 You know, the

00:41:30.880 flawed hero

00:41:32.380 overcomes their

00:41:34.600 personal problems

00:41:35.540 to save the

00:41:36.360 world, blah,

00:41:37.000 blah, blah.

00:41:37.400 Anyway.

00:41:37.660 David Brooks is

00:41:42.440 getting some

00:41:42.840 attention for

00:41:44.340 attending the

00:41:45.000 National

00:41:45.340 Conservatism

00:41:46.360 Conference.

00:41:48.160 And, you

00:41:50.040 know, he was

00:41:50.380 appalled by

00:41:51.240 some things he

00:41:51.860 saw and people

00:41:52.700 were reacting to

00:41:53.340 it.

00:41:53.720 But here's the

00:41:54.320 thing that

00:41:54.620 caught my

00:41:55.000 eye.

00:41:55.980 He talked

00:41:56.620 about, you

00:41:57.300 know, how

00:41:57.600 crazy all the

00:41:58.620 conservatives 0.99

00:41:59.060 were and

00:41:59.920 blah, blah,

00:42:00.360 blah, blah,

00:42:00.560 blah, and

00:42:01.440 how some of

00:42:02.060 them were

00:42:02.460 giving him a

00:42:03.140 hard time when

00:42:03.700 he was there

00:42:04.060 if they

00:42:04.340 recognized him.

00:42:04.940 But when he

00:42:05.920 went to just

00:42:06.620 socialize and

00:42:08.820 have some

00:42:09.240 drinks with

00:42:09.740 him, he

00:42:10.520 just had a

00:42:10.920 great time.

00:42:12.060 Because it

00:42:12.680 turns out that

00:42:14.020 when the

00:42:14.760 conservatives were

00:42:15.980 off-duty, as

00:42:17.100 you will, they

00:42:18.740 were just great

00:42:19.200 people, fun to

00:42:20.060 hang out with.

00:42:21.840 And he wrote

00:42:23.280 it like it was

00:42:23.740 maybe a surprise

00:42:24.520 or something.

00:42:25.820 But it's not a

00:42:26.400 surprise to me,

00:42:27.800 is it?

00:42:28.540 I mean, the

00:42:28.980 reason that my

00:42:29.720 audience doesn't

00:42:31.160 have exactly the

00:42:32.160 same political

00:42:33.120 opinions as I

00:42:33.900 do is that I

00:42:34.840 just prefer you.

00:42:37.400 Some of my

00:42:38.160 opinions are

00:42:38.680 closer to the

00:42:39.420 left.

00:42:40.680 But I have to

00:42:41.300 admit, I don't

00:42:41.800 like spending

00:42:42.520 time with

00:42:43.020 them.

00:42:44.700 You know,

00:42:45.100 they're largely

00:42:45.880 unpleasant people.

00:42:47.880 I know that's

00:42:48.840 a gross

00:42:49.720 generalization.

00:42:51.380 But the

00:42:51.840 left, they

00:42:53.700 have sort of

00:42:54.240 a personality

00:42:55.040 disorder that

00:42:58.740 I think is

00:42:59.260 socially

00:42:59.720 instilled.

00:43:01.680 Whereas the

00:43:02.440 right does

00:43:02.820 not.

00:43:03.160 the right is

00:43:04.400 pretty much how

00:43:05.040 they always

00:43:05.500 were, I

00:43:05.980 think.

00:43:07.780 If you like

00:43:09.340 the Constitution

00:43:10.020 and you have

00:43:11.740 a job, you're

00:43:13.680 good.

00:43:14.960 Right?

00:43:15.860 I mean, the

00:43:16.420 right is very

00:43:17.080 easy to please.

00:43:18.620 There's nothing

00:43:19.300 easier than

00:43:20.680 pleasing the

00:43:21.340 right.

00:43:23.140 I like the

00:43:24.020 Constitution.

00:43:24.680 Do you like the

00:43:25.180 Constitution?

00:43:25.880 We're good.

00:43:26.280 Do you work?

00:43:28.640 It doesn't matter

00:43:29.320 where.

00:43:30.440 Do you work?

00:43:32.080 If you work,

00:43:33.440 you're cool.

00:43:34.880 Did you break

00:43:35.480 any laws?

00:43:36.900 Any ones I

00:43:37.500 care about?

00:43:38.740 No?

00:43:39.740 You're cool.

00:43:41.260 Want to go to

00:43:41.740 church with me?

00:43:43.200 I mean, it's so

00:43:43.640 easy to make a

00:43:44.380 conservative happy.

00:43:45.780 They have very

00:43:46.960 clear standards,

00:43:48.600 and they're very

00:43:49.340 easy to satisfy.

00:43:51.820 Right?

00:43:52.060 Easiest thing in the

00:43:52.780 world.

00:43:53.220 It would be harder

00:43:53.820 to not make them

00:43:54.840 happy.

00:43:55.480 You'd have to work

00:43:56.060 at it, but the

00:43:56.940 left kind of does.

00:43:57.620 All right, so

00:43:59.360 can you imagine

00:44:00.460 being a different

00:44:01.360 topic?

00:44:02.340 Imagine training

00:44:03.260 all your life to

00:44:04.120 be in the Olympics,

00:44:05.400 which, by the way, 1.00

00:44:06.240 I think is stupid. 1.00

00:44:09.240 From a risk-reward 1.00

00:44:10.740 perspective, spending

00:44:12.540 your life training

00:44:13.760 for the Olympics, I 1.00

00:44:14.680 think is just stupid 1.00

00:44:15.560 as a life strategy. 1.00

00:44:18.180 Now, if you happen

00:44:18.840 to be one of the

00:44:19.400 few people who

00:44:19.980 make it, and you

00:44:20.920 get Olympic medals,

00:44:22.180 it might open up

00:44:23.200 some doors, and

00:44:24.460 those people certainly

00:44:25.480 made the right

00:44:26.080 choice.

00:44:27.620 But everybody

00:44:28.220 else, if you

00:44:29.700 don't medal, or

00:44:30.980 even if you

00:44:31.500 medal third place,

00:44:32.980 you wasted most

00:44:34.080 of your life for

00:44:35.680 a copper medal.

00:44:37.260 Now, imagine

00:44:37.820 that you did all

00:44:38.480 of that work, and

00:44:39.980 you find out that

00:44:40.720 when your turn

00:44:41.320 comes, you're the

00:44:42.000 right age, and

00:44:42.680 you're finally

00:44:43.160 qualified for the

00:44:43.980 Olympics, it's in

00:44:45.320 China.

00:44:48.320 So you have to

00:44:48.980 go represent your

00:44:49.820 country in China.

00:44:52.720 Literally the

00:44:53.480 country that just

00:44:54.460 disappeared their

00:44:55.420 top tennis star

00:44:56.460 because she

00:44:57.480 complained that

00:44:58.300 the government 1.00

00:44:58.940 raped her. 0.99

00:45:00.100 Now, I don't 0.99

00:45:00.560 mean with taxes, I

00:45:02.360 mean a member of

00:45:03.140 the Communist Party

00:45:04.240 literally physically 0.98

00:45:05.280 raped her, and 0.99

00:45:06.580 when she talked 0.98

00:45:07.160 about it, the

00:45:07.780 government disappeared

00:45:08.540 her.

00:45:09.620 And you're an

00:45:10.820 Olympic athlete,

00:45:11.620 you've trained all

00:45:12.140 your life, and

00:45:13.180 you're going to go

00:45:13.700 over and support

00:45:14.480 that system.

00:45:15.120 How do the

00:45:18.220 female, how do 0.99

00:45:20.740 the American

00:45:21.380 gymnastic female 1.00

00:45:24.360 team, how do

00:45:26.100 they feel about

00:45:26.620 that?

00:45:28.380 Seriously, how in 0.99

00:45:30.320 fuck does the 0.99

00:45:32.540 American gymnastics 1.00

00:45:33.820 women's team, who

00:45:35.480 have been savaged

00:45:36.600 with sexual abuse,

00:45:39.520 apparently, how do

00:45:40.940 they go to China

00:45:41.660 after this

00:45:43.180 happened? 0.99

00:45:44.280 After China raped 0.99

00:45:45.540 somebody in 0.99

00:45:46.480 public, I mean

00:45:47.600 the story is

00:45:48.140 public, not the

00:45:48.760 rape, but 1.00

00:45:49.620 basically, they're 0.67

00:45:52.520 basically getting

00:45:53.540 away with it in

00:45:54.300 public.

00:45:56.440 Would you go?

00:45:57.980 Well, you

00:45:58.540 studied, you

00:45:59.180 practiced all your

00:46:00.060 life, you kind of

00:46:01.160 have to.

00:46:02.100 So I'm not

00:46:03.580 surprised that our

00:46:05.560 athletes would go

00:46:06.400 to China, but I

00:46:07.800 don't respect them

00:46:08.640 for it.

00:46:09.880 Is that fair?

00:46:11.660 Because I'm not

00:46:12.700 required to respect

00:46:13.740 anybody just because

00:46:14.900 they worked hard.

00:46:16.180 I do like hard

00:46:17.180 workers, but if you

00:46:18.940 worked hard and then

00:46:19.940 you decided to go 1.00

00:46:20.880 support a rapist 0.98

00:46:22.440 regime, I don't 1.00

00:46:24.860 respect you at all.

00:46:26.660 At all.

00:46:28.420 At least that

00:46:29.060 decision I don't

00:46:29.740 respect.

00:46:31.340 I might respect you

00:46:32.520 as a human, but not

00:46:33.400 for that decision.

00:46:35.240 All right.

00:46:37.080 I feel as though,

00:46:38.480 oh, here's an

00:46:39.300 interesting story.

00:46:40.520 Put on your

00:46:41.900 skeptical hat when I

00:46:42.980 give you this one.

00:46:44.380 Apparently, there's a

00:46:45.260 huge uptick in Google

00:46:47.220 searches for the

00:46:48.640 phrase suddenly died.

00:46:51.640 And a lot of

00:46:53.760 anecdotal reporting of

00:46:55.720 people who suddenly

00:46:56.680 died in the headlines.

00:46:58.540 You know, somebody,

00:46:59.140 47, suddenly died,

00:47:00.860 suddenly died,

00:47:01.560 suddenly died.

00:47:02.800 Now, the question is

00:47:03.980 asked is, is that a

00:47:05.120 coincidence?

00:47:07.480 Is that a coincidence?

00:47:08.400 Or is it vaccinations?

00:47:12.260 What do you think?

00:47:15.280 Put on your

00:47:16.080 skeptical hat.

00:47:17.320 Come on.

00:47:18.080 I've trained you

00:47:18.980 better than this.

00:47:21.560 What do you think?

00:47:25.200 Well, what would make

00:47:26.480 Google searches go up

00:47:28.400 for suddenly died?

00:47:31.040 People are interested in

00:47:32.220 the topic because the

00:47:33.680 rumor is that people are

00:47:34.920 dropping dead from

00:47:35.700 vaccinations, which I

00:47:37.280 don't have evidence of

00:47:38.220 that.

00:47:39.300 But, so, yeah, let me

00:47:41.080 be clear.

00:47:41.620 I don't have any

00:47:42.180 evidence that people

00:47:42.960 are dying from the

00:47:44.060 vaccination.

00:47:45.140 I also don't have any

00:47:46.760 evidence that they're

00:47:47.520 not.

00:47:49.200 Would you agree with

00:47:50.100 that statement?

00:47:51.560 You and I don't have

00:47:53.980 evidence that people

00:47:54.900 are dropping dead from

00:47:55.900 the vaccinations, more

00:47:57.060 than normal, because we

00:47:58.460 know every kind of drug

00:47:59.420 kills somebody.

00:48:00.440 But we also don't know

00:48:03.160 it's not happening.

00:48:04.840 Is that a fair statement?

00:48:06.120 We don't know it's

00:48:06.800 happening, but we also

00:48:07.580 don't know it's not

00:48:08.220 happening, because we,

00:48:10.340 it's just, it's opaque

00:48:12.200 to us.

00:48:14.360 And then apparently

00:48:15.380 Pfizer's data, they're

00:48:16.560 going to wait 50 years

00:48:17.760 to give it to you.

00:48:19.460 So, you know, that

00:48:21.200 should put a red flag on

00:48:22.920 there.

00:48:24.460 Well, here's what I

00:48:25.340 think.

00:48:25.540 I think that you

00:48:26.700 should expect there

00:48:27.700 would be a, there

00:48:28.680 would be an uptick in

00:48:29.700 searching for suddenly

00:48:30.800 died and an uptick in

00:48:32.760 stories, whether vaccines

00:48:34.720 had anything to do with

00:48:35.660 it or not.

00:48:36.760 Does everybody get that?

00:48:38.520 You should see, this is

00:48:40.240 very predictable, you

00:48:41.440 should see exactly this

00:48:43.040 effect, the uptick of

00:48:45.280 people being interested

00:48:46.220 in those stories and

00:48:47.280 searching for it, whether

00:48:49.360 there's anything to it or

00:48:50.360 not.

00:48:51.060 It would look exactly

00:48:51.900 like this.

00:48:53.220 So I'm not saying that

00:48:54.760 it doesn't.

00:48:55.420 mean vaccines are

00:48:56.320 doing it.

00:48:57.280 I'm just saying you

00:48:57.960 can't tell by this.

00:48:59.560 This is, this is as

00:49:01.460 close to no information

00:49:03.000 whatsoever as anything

00:49:05.360 could possibly be.

00:49:07.340 But, could be, could

00:49:10.180 be vaccines.

00:49:12.840 Unless you know people

00:49:14.040 to which it happened,

00:49:15.000 no, nope, that doesn't

00:49:16.580 change it.

00:49:17.260 Because it is

00:49:18.140 guaranteed that no

00:49:19.920 matter what the vaccine

00:49:21.000 was, because all

00:49:22.620 vaccinations kill

00:49:23.780 somebody, it was

00:49:25.080 guaranteed that

00:49:25.900 somebody would know

00:49:26.800 them, and we'd hear

00:49:28.300 about it.

00:49:29.920 Right?

00:49:30.560 So there wasn't, there's

00:49:31.780 no way that somebody

00:49:33.080 doesn't know somebody who

00:49:34.320 died suddenly after a

00:49:35.280 vaccination.

00:49:36.280 And we don't know if

00:49:37.640 they died suddenly because

00:49:38.820 of the vaccination, which

00:49:40.260 is the second part of it.

00:49:41.940 Right?

00:49:42.820 Lots of people die after

00:49:44.400 everything.

00:49:45.860 People die after eating a

00:49:47.680 slice of bread.

00:49:48.640 And they die suddenly.

00:49:50.780 But it's not because they

00:49:51.800 had a slice of bread.

00:49:53.760 Right?

00:49:54.760 So, just put the maximum

00:49:57.060 skepticism on this

00:49:58.440 suddenly died thing, but

00:50:00.340 don't rule out the

00:50:01.220 possibility that the

00:50:02.100 vaccinations are more

00:50:03.360 dangerous than you think.

00:50:04.620 You can't rule that out

00:50:05.500 based on anything we've

00:50:07.100 heard.

00:50:07.280 Um, all right.

00:50:12.340 That is, oh, I, I see

00:50:17.140 Juan is saying that a

00:50:18.160 Florida lawsuit could 0.72

00:50:19.340 finally unmask Satoshi

00:50:21.060 Nakamoto, the founder of

00:50:23.440 Bitcoin.

00:50:24.020 Um, I'm going to say no.

00:50:27.140 I'm going to say that

00:50:28.220 that can't be true.

00:50:30.180 What do you think?

00:50:31.880 Do you think that there's

00:50:33.140 any lawsuit that could

00:50:34.240 find the founder of

00:50:35.760 Bitcoin no matter what

00:50:36.800 question they asked or

00:50:38.440 who they're talking to?

00:50:42.460 I don't think so.

00:50:44.160 So, I think that's fake

00:50:45.540 news.

00:50:46.900 I'd like to be surprised.

00:50:48.560 It'd be interesting.

00:50:49.800 No, actually, I don't.

00:50:52.180 Um, somebody says it's

00:50:53.220 John McAfee.

00:50:54.480 No, John McAfee would

00:50:55.620 be a lot richer if he

00:50:56.660 were, if that were him.

00:50:59.440 Um, a verdict today?

00:51:03.700 I don't know.

00:51:05.120 I don't think there will

00:51:05.960 be a verdict unless it's

00:51:07.520 a hung, hung jury.

00:51:09.380 What do you think?

00:51:10.300 I think you're going to

00:51:11.200 get a hung jury.

00:51:13.860 Um, oh, here, here's

00:51:16.280 some anecdotal evidence

00:51:17.360 for you.

00:51:18.900 Do you want some

00:51:19.500 anecdotal evidence that

00:51:20.640 doesn't agree with you?

00:51:22.860 All right, here it

00:51:23.420 comes.

00:51:24.820 Um, I live in highly

00:51:26.000 vaccinated Northern

00:51:27.540 California and highly

00:51:29.420 vaccinated East Bay of

00:51:31.460 Northern California.

00:51:33.640 Probably, and I'm just

00:51:34.760 guessing, just because of

00:51:36.280 the, the nature of the

00:51:37.480 people who live here and

00:51:39.060 the demographics and the

00:51:40.780 income and everything.

00:51:42.340 I don't know anybody who's

00:51:43.780 not vaccinated with one

00:51:45.420 exception.

00:51:45.800 Can anybody else say that?

00:51:49.480 I don't know another person,

00:51:52.000 adult or child, actually.

00:51:53.420 I don't know anybody who's

00:51:55.760 unvaccinated with one

00:51:57.960 exception.

00:51:58.320 Now, I also don't ask, uh, unless

00:52:02.760 I have a direct reason to,

00:52:03.940 right?

00:52:04.580 So, um, I, I sometimes ask

00:52:08.420 because I'm concerned about

00:52:10.080 their risk, not my own.

00:52:11.580 But, all right, here's my

00:52:14.580 anecdote.

00:52:14.900 So, in my entire social and

00:52:17.600 family circle, I only know one

00:52:19.160 person who's unvaccinated, and

00:52:21.720 that's the only person who got

00:52:22.900 COVID that I know personally.

00:52:25.240 Now, when I say personally, I

00:52:27.440 mean locally, personally, not

00:52:28.940 people I know from Twitter or

00:52:30.540 people I met once, that sort

00:52:32.340 of thing.

00:52:33.180 Does that mean anything?

00:52:34.800 That the only person I know

00:52:36.480 personally, meaning locally and

00:52:39.260 personally, who is unvaccinated,

00:52:42.400 is the only person who got

00:52:43.480 COVID.

00:52:45.140 Now, I also know people who

00:52:46.760 spend time with that person and

00:52:48.540 didn't get any COVID.

00:52:51.080 Did they die?

00:52:52.120 No, mild symptoms, mild

00:52:54.200 symptoms.

00:52:55.240 Um, mild symptoms because, uh,

00:52:58.880 the person is not, uh, old

00:53:01.100 enough, I don't think has any

00:53:03.260 comorbidities that I, that I'm

00:53:04.740 aware of.

00:53:08.880 All right.

00:53:09.600 So, what should you take from

00:53:10.880 that anecdote?

00:53:12.020 Absolutely nothing.

00:53:13.640 Right?

00:53:13.980 So, if you thought I was telling

00:53:15.280 you that story because it meant

00:53:16.940 something, you shouldn't.

00:53:19.680 Right?

00:53:20.020 It doesn't matter who says it.

00:53:22.220 It's, it's an anecdotal report.

00:53:23.960 It has no statistical meaning

00:53:26.920 whatsoever.

00:53:27.880 And the moment you imagine it

00:53:29.500 does, well, then you're misled.

00:53:32.620 You know, I tell you this story

00:53:33.700 because it's sort of counter to

00:53:35.140 what maybe some of you have

00:53:36.440 heard anecdotally.

00:53:37.680 It doesn't mean anything.

00:53:39.400 It's just my story.

00:53:40.600 There's, there's no, no credibility

00:53:44.420 that should be assigned to it

00:53:45.660 other than, you know, the event

00:53:46.960 happened, but it doesn't mean

00:53:48.760 anything for the society.

00:53:52.980 But neither does anything they're

00:53:54.640 telling us that is correct.

00:53:55.640 My mom got a booster and died

00:53:59.760 from septic shock.

00:54:01.100 Is that a coincidence?

00:54:02.660 I don't know.

00:54:04.580 I would tell you that given that

00:54:07.340 almost, what, 75% of adults,

00:54:10.680 or what's the number now?

00:54:11.900 70% have been, have been

00:54:14.880 vaccinated.

00:54:15.880 And most of it's this year.

00:54:18.740 Almost everybody who dies this year

00:54:20.860 will die relatively close to when

00:54:24.580 they got vaccinated.

00:54:26.140 You get that, right?

00:54:27.920 That almost everybody who dies

00:54:29.520 from any cause will have

00:54:32.760 recently been vaccinated,

00:54:34.120 especially when you have two

00:54:35.820 shots plus a booster.

00:54:37.540 Now, most people will have been

00:54:38.900 maybe vaccinated a month ago.

00:54:41.800 But there's a lot of people.

00:54:43.560 A lot of people die every year.

00:54:45.580 Many of them are going to be

00:54:46.900 within, you know, days of

00:54:48.240 getting the vaccination.

00:54:49.980 So what does it mean that you

00:54:51.120 know somebody who had that

00:54:53.000 exact situation?

00:54:54.580 Nothing.

00:54:56.060 Nothing at all.

00:54:58.000 But does it mean that it's

00:55:00.140 enough of a, I don't know,

00:55:02.420 warning that you should look

00:55:03.400 into it?

00:55:03.980 Yes.

00:55:04.680 Yes.

00:55:05.400 You should definitely be

00:55:06.400 skeptical of any official data

00:55:08.060 on this because of the

00:55:09.720 anecdotes.
