Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1583 Scott Adams： The Political Left is Starting to Wake Up From its Zombie Trance

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:07.520 You made it.

00:00:08.720 Good job.

00:00:09.900 Now, a lot of you, you may not succeed at a lot of things for the rest of the day,

00:00:15.460 but today, whoa, whoa, yeah, today you nailed it.

00:00:21.800 And we're going to take it up another notch,

00:00:23.660 because having the best day that anybody's ever had in the history of the universe is good.

00:00:30.500 But it's just a starting point.

00:00:32.740 Watch what we do now.

00:00:34.040 And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein,

00:00:37.480 a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:41.360 You could even use your hands briefly.

00:00:44.660 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:46.160 I like coffee.

00:00:48.360 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:53.240 the thing that makes everything better except Timothy.

00:00:57.460 There are his comments.

00:00:58.900 I don't know.

00:00:59.240 I can't help you.

00:01:00.660 And it's going to happen right now.

00:01:03.200 And watch it make you tingle everywhere.

00:01:05.500 Go.

00:01:10.460 No, not true.

00:01:11.460 I didn't feel a tingle in my fingernails,

00:01:13.580 so probably I exaggerated that a little bit.

00:01:18.020 You can feel it in my hair and every other atom of my being,

00:01:20.980 but there was one fingernail.

00:01:22.800 It was the damaged one.

00:01:24.440 Couldn't feel it.

00:01:25.280 So I'm sorry if I exaggerated that.

00:01:27.500 Well, some terrible news from the Antwerp Zoo in Belgium.

00:01:31.520 I hate to start with the bad news, but two hippos tested positive for coronavirus at the Antwerp Zoo.

00:01:39.820 When I read this, my first thought was that probably the cheetahs at the zoo are just going to treat it as a mild cold,

00:01:51.680 but I do worry about the hippos.

00:01:53.680 I do worry about the hippos.

00:01:53.740 Cheetahs probably just shake it off. 1.00

00:01:57.340 But the hippos, you know what I mean.

00:02:01.340 Comorbidity.

00:02:02.540 Anyway, here's my favorite tiny story of the day.

00:02:08.000 It's a tiny story, but I feel like it's telling us something's coming.

00:02:14.940 I feel as though there's some foreshadowing in this story.

00:02:20.080 And it goes like this.

00:02:21.260 Apparently, AOC, when asked about all the smash-and-grab robberies,

00:02:27.420 was not aware that they're happening.

00:02:30.680 She said, quote,

00:02:32.360 A lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out,

00:02:37.780 AOC said in an interview with the Washington Times last week.

00:02:41.440 I believe it's a Walgreens in California cited it, but the data didn't back it up, she added.

00:02:48.960 What?

00:02:50.860 So here's why this is a big story.

00:02:53.000 It's not a big story because a politician didn't know something.

00:02:56.680 It's not a big story because a politician lied.

00:02:59.860 Those would be ordinary stories.

00:03:02.840 It's a big story because who in the world does not realize that AOC's plan for creating a new world

00:03:14.260 in which human incentives are ignored is not working out so well.

00:03:20.540 Not working out so well.

00:03:21.680 So the fact that she is ignoring something that everybody can see with her plain eyes,

00:03:27.120 I mean, anybody who lives in the city is seeing this quite clearly, at least in a blue city.

00:03:32.600 So the fact that she's denying it's even happening has got to be noticed by her base.

00:03:38.420 That's the important part.

00:03:40.040 It wouldn't mean anything if Republicans were mocking AOC yet again for the billionth time.

00:03:46.380 But I feel like she's crossed a line here where even her own side is going to say,

00:03:54.240 but I'm watching a smash and grab.

00:03:57.240 Or, I just went to Nordstrom and the shelves are empty.

00:04:04.160 You know, aren't they all going to notice?

00:04:07.100 Now, maybe they'll just never see this news because it was in the Washington Times,

00:04:14.820 so they're not going to necessarily see it.

00:04:17.580 But I feel like it's the beginning of a crack in the two-movie model.

00:04:25.240 I've been telling you since 2015 or so that we're watching two movies,

00:04:30.380 but they're playing at the same time on one screen.

00:04:32.440 We're both looking at exactly the same stuff, or similar stuff,

00:04:37.380 and completely different movies in our heads of what's going on.

00:04:40.780 But I feel like they're starting to converge.

00:04:44.800 The only thing that could stop them from blending and merging at this point

00:04:48.820 is Trump coming back.

00:04:52.520 As soon as Trump comes back, it's boom, two movies again.

00:04:55.680 But at the moment, he's just out of the spotlight enough

00:05:00.600 that the two movies are starting to merge.

00:05:05.620 Now, not a lot, right?

00:05:07.120 I'm talking about signs of something to coming.

00:05:10.060 They're definitely not merged.

00:05:12.000 But I feel like the weight of the world is starting to nudge them in that direction.

00:05:17.560 We'll talk a little bit more about that.

00:05:19.060 And I asked on Twitter, but I already saw the answer on the locals.

00:05:27.660 I said, has anyone called the Bidens a build-back-better bill a smash-and-grab?

00:05:34.360 But apparently, that was an obvious joke.

00:05:39.880 Am I right?

00:05:41.180 You've already seen that one?

00:05:43.080 I hadn't seen it yet, but it's sort of an obvious joke.

00:05:47.020 Have you all seen that one?

00:05:50.260 I'm sure it's out there.

00:05:51.940 Anyway, speaking of the fake news and the two movies,

00:05:56.240 how many of you saw on social media

00:05:58.460 video clips of a group of alleged right-wingers

00:06:04.640 called the Patriot Front,

00:06:07.420 all in matching uniforms and disguises with masks and matching hats,

00:06:12.480 marching in Washington, D.C. with a bunch of American flags and stuff?

00:06:16.220 How many saw that?

00:06:20.800 Right.

00:06:22.140 Now, when you saw it,

00:06:25.100 did you say to yourself,

00:06:26.480 first thought,

00:06:27.680 first thought when you saw it,

00:06:29.660 hey, there's a bunch of right-wing people

00:06:32.440 dressed alike.

00:06:33.960 It's another Charlottesville.

00:06:37.180 How many of you thought that?

00:06:39.700 Nobody.

00:06:41.480 Nobody.

00:06:42.040 And if you went to CNN and then Fox News

00:06:47.040 to find out about this group,

00:06:50.080 what'd you find?

00:06:51.600 Because it's all over social media.

00:06:53.580 If you consume any of the content on the right,

00:06:57.620 it's all over the place.

00:06:59.440 So go to CNN and see that story

00:07:01.400 about the Patriot Front,

00:07:04.400 who all came out of a bunch of matching U-Haul vans

00:07:09.200 and then got back in them and left.

00:07:12.720 Do you see the story on CNN's website?

00:07:16.200 No.

00:07:17.320 No.

00:07:18.660 Fact check me on this,

00:07:20.280 but I don't think CNN even covered the story.

00:07:24.040 Why not?

00:07:24.540 Why wouldn't they cover a story like that?

00:07:29.880 So I went to Fox News.

00:07:31.420 I thought, oh, okay.

00:07:32.760 So CNN's going to try to ignore it

00:07:34.460 because it's so obviously fake.

00:07:36.840 So I went to CNN to at least see the debunk

00:07:39.380 because I figure, I'm sorry,

00:07:41.100 I went to Fox News

00:07:42.240 because I thought Fox News would, you know,

00:07:44.340 have some skepticism about it.

00:07:47.500 It's not there.

00:07:49.760 Now, fact check me on this.

00:07:51.120 Check it right now.

00:07:52.140 Now, I don't believe either CNN or Fox News

00:07:55.400 are even covering it.

00:07:57.700 So did it happen?

00:08:01.440 Did it happen?

00:08:03.380 No, it doesn't matter that there's no violence.

00:08:05.540 It just means, you know,

00:08:07.840 what matters is that it's a scary bunch of people.

00:08:11.900 Yeah, there's nothing on Fox

00:08:13.340 and there's nothing on CNN.

00:08:14.600 Explain that.

00:08:16.140 Why?

00:08:17.020 Because, you know,

00:08:18.800 Fox News would at least have a story

00:08:21.340 that says it's obviously fake, right?

00:08:26.480 Where is it?

00:08:28.060 Where is the story?

00:08:29.660 Did it even happen?

00:08:31.580 Because if it's not being covered

00:08:33.260 in the two, you know,

00:08:34.960 most, you know, well-known news sites,

00:08:38.180 did it even happen?

00:08:40.300 Was there an event?

00:08:43.720 And even if there wasn't an event,

00:08:45.680 wouldn't it still be a story

00:08:47.260 that so many people thought

00:08:49.220 there was an event that didn't happen?

00:08:50.520 How in the world

00:08:52.300 is this not being covered?

00:08:55.480 Somebody says,

00:08:56.260 Microsoft covered it?

00:08:58.060 You mean MSNBC?

00:09:00.380 Somebody saw live streaming?

00:09:04.680 Who has the talking stick?

00:09:07.040 Don't know what that means.

00:09:09.420 Business Insider,

00:09:10.540 Daily Beast and Business Insider

00:09:12.160 covered it.

00:09:13.540 So, do you remember my rule

00:09:15.100 that if CNN and Fox News

00:09:18.320 treat it the same,

00:09:20.380 that means something?

00:09:22.840 Fox News and CNN

00:09:24.000 treated this the same

00:09:25.360 by ignoring it.

00:09:27.460 What's that mean?

00:09:29.520 Because they didn't even report it

00:09:31.020 as a mystery.

00:09:32.740 You know,

00:09:32.980 I would get, like,

00:09:34.000 if they didn't know

00:09:34.680 who was behind it

00:09:35.920 and they're looking into it,

00:09:36.740 that would make sense.

00:09:37.440 But how do you not report

00:09:39.480 that you're looking into it?

00:09:42.720 Or that it's a mystery?

00:09:44.220 Or that it's a question?

00:09:48.120 Just saw that Scott

00:09:49.240 is on Gateway Pundit

00:09:50.500 this morning.

00:09:51.540 Am I?

00:09:52.900 What's it say about me

00:09:53.940 on Gateway Pundit

00:09:54.720 this morning?

00:09:56.280 So,

00:09:57.100 but here's my main point

00:09:59.040 about this alleged

00:10:00.040 Patriot Front group.

00:10:02.180 You want to hear

00:10:02.880 the good news?

00:10:03.520 Nobody believed it.

00:10:09.000 Now,

00:10:09.820 take yourself mentally back

00:10:11.480 four years ago.

00:10:14.240 Just,

00:10:14.560 just in your mind,

00:10:15.460 just go back four years ago.

00:10:17.200 Imagine the same event

00:10:18.580 looking exactly the same.

00:10:22.160 Does everybody believe it?

00:10:25.240 Uh-huh.

00:10:26.400 Four years ago,

00:10:27.620 everybody would have believed

00:10:28.600 that that was a real group

00:10:30.120 marching.

00:10:32.440 What do you believe today?

00:10:35.800 Today?

00:10:37.220 Nobody believed it.

00:10:39.000 It was so unbelievable,

00:10:40.440 it didn't make the news.

00:10:44.540 It was so unbelievable,

00:10:47.260 it didn't make CNN

00:10:48.460 or Fox News.

00:10:49.880 That's how unbelievable it was.

00:10:53.840 Oh,

00:10:54.120 another truth bomb.

00:10:55.440 Okay,

00:10:55.720 that's what Gateway Pundit

00:10:56.760 is talking about.

00:10:57.420 One of my tweets

00:10:58.100 or something.

00:10:59.920 Okay,

00:11:00.440 I'll take a look at that.

00:11:01.100 Thank you for that.

00:11:03.520 So,

00:11:04.100 I would say

00:11:04.900 that this is another indicator

00:11:06.720 similar to the AOC

00:11:08.220 pretending she doesn't know

00:11:10.040 there's any smash and grabs

00:11:11.240 going on

00:11:11.800 of any size anyway.

00:11:13.600 The Patriot Front thing 0.80

00:11:14.980 plus the AOC thing

00:11:16.200 is suggesting to me

00:11:18.040 that the credibility

00:11:19.040 of the hoaxes

00:11:21.560 is starting to decrease.

00:11:23.600 it looks like

00:11:25.320 the left

00:11:25.880 is not as

00:11:26.720 uncritically

00:11:27.560 believing

00:11:28.020 everything that happens

00:11:29.220 or everything

00:11:30.480 they're told.

00:11:31.620 I believe

00:11:32.660 that the left

00:11:33.620 has gained

00:11:34.540 skepticism

00:11:36.720 possibly for the first time.

00:11:39.620 All right.

00:11:50.680 Yeah,

00:11:51.140 most people

00:11:51.680 were blaming

00:11:52.260 the Lincoln Project.

00:11:53.620 I don't know

00:11:54.080 that the Lincoln Project

00:11:55.040 was behind it necessarily,

00:11:56.660 but the fact

00:11:57.440 that that's your

00:11:58.000 first instinct

00:11:59.000 shows that

00:12:00.540 we've all grown up,

00:12:02.500 haven't we?

00:12:04.100 Think about

00:12:04.860 how your awareness

00:12:05.820 of how the world

00:12:06.980 really works

00:12:08.040 has changed

00:12:09.400 since the era

00:12:11.100 of Trump.

00:12:13.000 Right?

00:12:13.420 The way you think

00:12:14.180 of reality itself,

00:12:16.000 what you think

00:12:16.680 of the news

00:12:17.240 and how true it is,

00:12:18.620 what you think

00:12:19.080 of the narratives,

00:12:20.220 completely different.

00:12:21.880 And I would argue

00:12:22.880 that we've

00:12:25.360 inoculated ourselves

00:12:28.080 maybe better

00:12:29.260 than other countries.

00:12:30.900 Now,

00:12:31.540 I'm not your big

00:12:32.600 international expert,

00:12:34.500 but I'm going to

00:12:35.040 put this out here.

00:12:38.040 You know,

00:12:38.460 we sometimes

00:12:38.980 like to talk

00:12:39.640 about,

00:12:39.980 you know,

00:12:40.360 American exceptionalism,

00:12:42.220 which I,

00:12:43.240 you know,

00:12:43.500 generally reject

00:12:44.540 as being,

00:12:46.120 you know,

00:12:46.300 just a little bit

00:12:47.100 too,

00:12:47.600 we're awesome.

00:12:48.680 But,

00:12:49.280 there are some things

00:12:50.740 that are unique

00:12:51.360 to America,

00:12:52.040 the Second Amendment

00:12:52.800 chief among them,

00:12:54.440 that I think

00:12:54.880 does make us different.

00:12:56.640 But here's another one.

00:12:58.500 I feel like America

00:12:59.640 is now way ahead

00:13:00.740 of the curve

00:13:01.440 for understanding

00:13:03.200 propaganda

00:13:03.820 and its effect

00:13:04.980 on people.

00:13:07.260 Now,

00:13:07.460 I don't know that.

00:13:08.640 You know,

00:13:08.840 it could turn out

00:13:09.500 that,

00:13:09.760 you know,

00:13:10.040 Denmark is way

00:13:10.940 ahead of us

00:13:11.540 or something.

00:13:12.700 I wouldn't know.

00:13:13.340 But I feel

00:13:14.700 as though

00:13:15.120 the age

00:13:15.820 of complete

00:13:17.060 information warfare

00:13:18.320 where misinformation

00:13:19.980 being fed

00:13:21.120 into other,

00:13:21.740 you know,

00:13:22.640 adversarial countries

00:13:23.980 is going to be

00:13:25.220 World War III,

00:13:26.880 brainwashing.

00:13:28.060 And I feel like

00:13:28.940 America

00:13:29.460 inoculated itself

00:13:31.260 with the Trump experiment.

00:13:34.140 Because the Trump,

00:13:35.520 let's say,

00:13:36.280 experience,

00:13:37.520 the Trump experience

00:13:38.680 caused so much

00:13:39.760 fake news

00:13:40.540 in the United States

00:13:42.180 coming from

00:13:42.860 official sources

00:13:43.720 that the citizens

00:13:46.000 of this country

00:13:46.760 learned

00:13:47.340 that news is fake

00:13:49.340 or can be

00:13:51.180 or is narrative

00:13:51.980 and all those things.

00:13:53.180 And I don't think

00:13:53.880 we knew that

00:13:54.500 five years ago.

00:13:55.460 Like,

00:13:55.780 as a country,

00:13:56.500 we didn't know it.

00:13:57.400 We suspected it,

00:13:58.600 you know,

00:13:58.840 people talked about it.

00:14:00.160 But we didn't.

00:14:01.260 Know it.

00:14:03.180 Now we know it.

00:14:04.580 Now we know

00:14:05.080 we shouldn't trust

00:14:05.840 our own sources,

00:14:07.080 even American

00:14:07.960 seemingly patriotic,

00:14:10.280 you know,

00:14:10.680 entities,

00:14:11.600 such as our

00:14:12.480 intelligence agencies.

00:14:14.000 We know we can't

00:14:14.920 trust them.

00:14:16.320 I think

00:14:17.080 this is,

00:14:18.220 you know,

00:14:18.400 the best possible

00:14:19.140 spin on the situation,

00:14:20.400 which I like to give you

00:14:21.300 anyway.

00:14:22.020 I think

00:14:22.820 the United States

00:14:24.440 will be the most

00:14:25.400 inoculated country

00:14:27.160 when the future waves

00:14:29.720 of enormous fake news

00:14:31.280 start washing

00:14:32.060 over the rest

00:14:32.660 of the world,

00:14:33.640 as they will

00:14:34.560 or probably have.

00:14:36.400 But I think

00:14:37.980 this is healthy

00:14:38.740 in a weird way.

00:14:40.340 Nobody would have

00:14:40.920 asked for it,

00:14:41.820 but if you survive it,

00:14:43.100 you get stronger,

00:14:43.780 right?

00:14:44.000 I think we survived

00:14:45.660 the worst fake news

00:14:48.040 attack

00:14:49.440 that any country

00:14:51.000 in the modern world

00:14:52.640 recently has seen,

00:14:53.500 I think.

00:14:54.940 Yeah,

00:14:55.460 the next question,

00:14:56.320 as Guy is saying

00:14:57.600 on Locals,

00:14:58.220 the next question is,

00:14:59.040 has it always been

00:14:59.680 this way?

00:15:01.060 Has it always been

00:15:01.780 this way?

00:15:02.980 And my guess is,

00:15:04.180 it has,

00:15:05.840 but the targets

00:15:06.720 were different.

00:15:08.560 Meaning that

00:15:09.400 the public

00:15:10.520 has always been

00:15:11.200 brainwashed

00:15:11.880 to be patriotic,

00:15:13.160 for example,

00:15:14.040 but we haven't been

00:15:15.020 brainwashed

00:15:16.680 to be divisive

00:15:17.620 against each other.

00:15:19.000 We've been brainwashed

00:15:19.920 to be on the same team,

00:15:21.940 brainwashed

00:15:22.360 to be consumers, 0.87

00:15:23.600 brainwashed

00:15:24.020 to like capitalism, 0.83

00:15:25.780 brainwashed

00:15:26.260 to like freedom,

00:15:27.140 brainwashed

00:15:27.840 to like,

00:15:28.340 you know,

00:15:28.840 everything that's American.

00:15:30.540 So we certainly

00:15:31.480 have always been

00:15:32.180 brainwashed,

00:15:32.860 and certainly the news

00:15:33.940 has bias

00:15:35.440 toward that brainwashing,

00:15:36.680 but I'm not sure

00:15:37.400 any of that was negative.

00:15:39.740 Was it?

00:15:41.040 Steve is saying,

00:15:41.920 read Mark Twain

00:15:43.680 on the news.

00:15:44.680 Yeah,

00:15:44.900 the news has always

00:15:45.680 been full of BS,

00:15:47.260 but I think the BS

00:15:48.260 before

00:15:48.940 might have been

00:15:50.540 just more

00:15:51.040 entertainment BS

00:15:52.060 as opposed to

00:15:53.000 dividing the country BS,

00:15:55.060 but I would imagine

00:15:55.880 that the journalism

00:15:56.820 of yore

00:15:57.740 was pretty darn bad.

00:16:05.900 John Adams says,

00:16:07.120 democracy never lasts long.

00:16:09.080 Well,

00:16:09.260 it's because we're

00:16:09.780 not a democracy.

00:16:10.800 That's probably why

00:16:11.480 we are a republic.

00:16:12.780 Yeah,

00:16:14.400 let's get those

00:16:14.920 bike paths.

00:16:15.700 Good comment.

00:16:17.220 All right,

00:16:17.640 as you all know,

00:16:19.140 CNN finally fired

00:16:20.860 Chris Cuomo,

00:16:22.880 their biggest star,

00:16:25.480 whose show

00:16:27.280 appeared

00:16:27.800 between

00:16:28.760 Aaron Burnett

00:16:29.960 and

00:16:30.880 Don Lemon.

00:16:35.280 Wink, wink.

00:16:38.220 Those of you

00:16:39.100 on YouTube

00:16:39.460 have no idea

00:16:40.260 why that's funny,

00:16:41.160 but the people

00:16:41.580 and locals

00:16:42.020 are already laughing.

00:16:44.240 And

00:16:44.520 I guess

00:16:46.060 there was

00:16:46.440 some more information

00:16:47.460 that came out

00:16:48.240 and blah, blah, blah.

00:16:49.320 But

00:16:49.620 Chris Cuomo

00:16:50.320 was the top-rated star,

00:16:52.300 as Fox News

00:16:54.340 liked to

00:16:56.080 proddingly say.

00:16:58.980 He was their only star.

00:17:01.500 I still laugh at that.

00:17:03.360 Fox News'

00:17:04.280 characterization

00:17:04.880 of their

00:17:05.560 competitors.

00:17:08.840 They only had one star

00:17:09.800 and he had to get fired.

00:17:12.100 Their best guy.

00:17:14.140 Well,

00:17:14.420 they just lost

00:17:15.180 their best guy.

00:17:16.660 He got fired

00:17:17.380 for being awful.

00:17:19.880 I'm sure

00:17:20.440 he will emerge

00:17:21.260 and be fine.

00:17:22.820 But, you know,

00:17:23.380 I think CNN

00:17:23.920 had to do

00:17:24.440 what they had to do.

00:17:26.500 So there's not

00:17:27.180 much of a story

00:17:27.800 there except

00:17:28.460 that

00:17:28.920 look at the

00:17:31.940 difference

00:17:32.420 of the cast

00:17:33.380 of characters

00:17:33.980 when 2014

00:17:36.120 rolls around.

00:17:40.140 Think about

00:17:40.900 how many people

00:17:42.080 were the main

00:17:43.680 people you were

00:17:44.540 listening to

00:17:45.220 back in the

00:17:47.540 beginning of the

00:17:48.340 Trump

00:17:48.880 presidential era.

00:17:51.660 So many of them

00:17:52.560 are gone.

00:17:53.820 Cancelled.

00:17:55.200 Right?

00:17:56.100 That's a lot of

00:17:56.920 cancelling.

00:17:57.740 Now here's another one.

00:17:59.440 How many

00:17:59.860 dynasties

00:18:00.780 did Trump

00:18:02.220 destroy?

00:18:04.720 How many

00:18:05.480 dynasties

00:18:06.180 did he destroy?

00:18:06.880 Well,

00:18:08.680 he destroyed

00:18:09.240 the Bush dynasty

00:18:10.260 by taking out

00:18:11.140 Jeb.

00:18:12.720 He ended

00:18:13.140 that line.

00:18:14.360 He took out

00:18:14.860 the Clinton

00:18:15.360 dynasty by

00:18:16.180 beating

00:18:16.540 Clinton.

00:18:19.080 And

00:18:19.480 depending on

00:18:21.040 your point of

00:18:22.000 view,

00:18:22.380 he may have

00:18:22.820 taken out

00:18:23.240 the Cuomo

00:18:23.680 dynasty

00:18:24.300 just simply

00:18:26.900 by existing

00:18:27.600 and causing

00:18:29.800 them to

00:18:30.380 sort of be

00:18:31.620 on the other

00:18:32.040 team,

00:18:32.620 which puts

00:18:33.020 heat on

00:18:33.480 them,

00:18:33.940 which creates

00:18:34.800 an indirect

00:18:36.120 series of

00:18:36.800 events that

00:18:37.420 probably took

00:18:37.960 out another

00:18:38.420 dynasty.

00:18:39.560 I think

00:18:40.040 Trump has

00:18:40.540 taken out

00:18:41.060 three American

00:18:41.900 dynasties.

00:18:43.600 The McCain

00:18:44.220 family,

00:18:45.120 maybe.

00:18:46.920 Am I

00:18:47.280 right?

00:18:49.700 Cheney,

00:18:50.340 I don't

00:18:50.540 know.

00:18:51.620 And Romney,

00:18:52.520 nah,

00:18:52.880 not so much.

00:18:53.620 They weren't

00:18:53.940 dynasties.

00:18:56.160 But who

00:18:56.920 has destroyed

00:18:57.820 three dynasties

00:18:58.760 before?

00:18:59.360 And who

00:18:59.700 taught us

00:19:00.500 about fake

00:19:01.020 news?

00:19:01.900 I'll tell

00:19:02.320 you,

00:19:02.540 the legacy

00:19:03.380 of Trump

00:19:04.320 is unparalleled

00:19:06.640 at this point.

00:19:08.140 You know,

00:19:08.380 I don't think

00:19:09.060 historians will

00:19:09.720 ever give him

00:19:10.280 credit for

00:19:11.080 teaching us

00:19:11.820 about fake

00:19:12.380 news.

00:19:13.860 But he

00:19:14.500 did.

00:19:15.960 It's probably

00:19:16.800 one of the

00:19:17.200 greatest

00:19:17.480 accomplishments

00:19:18.080 of any

00:19:18.580 president,

00:19:19.620 teaching us

00:19:21.040 about reality.

00:19:23.200 It's the

00:19:23.500 first time

00:19:24.660 anybody told

00:19:25.240 us what

00:19:25.560 reality

00:19:26.040 actually looked

00:19:26.720 like.

00:19:28.680 All right.

00:19:31.600 You may

00:19:32.220 have seen

00:19:32.560 a clip,

00:19:33.220 and if you

00:19:33.980 haven't,

00:19:34.340 I recommend

00:19:34.920 it,

00:19:35.320 of Trump.

00:19:36.340 I guess he

00:19:36.800 crashed a

00:19:37.300 wedding at

00:19:37.720 Mar-Lago

00:19:38.180 and he was

00:19:38.600 giving a

00:19:38.960 speech and

00:19:39.400 he was

00:19:39.500 talking about

00:19:39.920 General Milley

00:19:40.620 and about

00:19:41.660 the Afghanistan

00:19:43.660 pullout and

00:19:44.640 how he had

00:19:45.620 conversations with

00:19:46.740 Milley and

00:19:47.400 Milley was

00:19:47.780 telling him it

00:19:48.240 would be

00:19:48.540 cheaper to

00:19:49.780 leave all the

00:19:50.420 assets there

00:19:51.120 than to take

00:19:51.900 him out.

00:19:53.220 And Trump

00:19:53.580 talked about

00:19:54.120 the wisdom

00:19:54.540 of that a

00:19:55.100 little bit and

00:19:55.800 at the end

00:19:56.680 of that story

00:19:57.380 Trump said,

00:19:58.380 and I'm going

00:19:58.720 to swear a

00:19:59.320 little bit,

00:20:00.220 send the

00:20:00.680 children away,

00:20:01.560 send the

00:20:01.900 children away.

00:20:03.340 I'm just

00:20:03.740 quoting Trump.

00:20:05.660 Then Trump

00:20:06.220 said on video

00:20:07.360 to a full room

00:20:08.260 of people about

00:20:09.060 General Milley,

00:20:10.040 who was his

00:20:10.880 top general at

00:20:11.700 the time,

00:20:12.200 he said,

00:20:12.740 quote,

00:20:13.360 that's when I

00:20:14.400 realized he was 1.00

00:20:15.100 a fucking 1.00

00:20:15.580 idiot. 1.00

00:20:22.280 I'm in love. 1.00

00:20:25.740 Trump,

00:20:26.800 you're so much 0.84

00:20:28.220 trouble. 0.98

00:20:29.620 You're so much 0.67

00:20:30.480 trouble.

00:20:31.580 Why do you

00:20:32.160 make me love

00:20:32.780 you?

00:20:32.960 Why?

00:20:33.360 Why?

00:20:35.240 I mean,

00:20:36.040 he's got

00:20:36.620 flaws.

00:20:38.520 I've seen

00:20:39.160 them.

00:20:39.900 I'm not blind

00:20:40.840 to his flaws.

00:20:43.060 You know,

00:20:43.400 he's an

00:20:43.780 expensive

00:20:44.200 president.

00:20:46.200 You know,

00:20:46.400 you get some

00:20:46.820 good stuff,

00:20:47.560 but it's

00:20:47.840 going to be

00:20:48.160 expensive.

00:20:49.780 But stop

00:20:51.420 making me

00:20:51.920 love you.

00:20:53.860 I want to

00:20:54.740 simply make

00:20:56.600 a decision

00:20:57.580 about politics.

00:20:59.960 I want to

00:21:00.460 look at your

00:21:00.860 policy stuff.

00:21:03.360 I'd like to

00:21:04.720 compare your

00:21:06.060 policy preferences

00:21:07.020 to your

00:21:07.960 competition and

00:21:08.940 come to some

00:21:09.620 kind of an

00:21:11.120 objective risk

00:21:12.100 management decision

00:21:13.080 about which

00:21:14.100 political side

00:21:14.880 has a better

00:21:15.480 plan for each

00:21:16.580 individual topic.

00:21:17.980 That's what I

00:21:18.620 want to do.

00:21:20.060 That's what I

00:21:20.700 would like to

00:21:21.220 do.

00:21:22.360 But he makes

00:21:23.120 it impossible

00:21:23.840 by saying of

00:21:26.100 his top

00:21:26.620 general,

00:21:27.680 that's when I

00:21:28.440 realized he was 1.00

00:21:29.200 a fucking 1.00

00:21:29.600 idiot. 1.00

00:21:30.640 Because I 1.00

00:21:32.560 was thinking

00:21:33.000 those exact

00:21:33.720 words.

00:21:37.560 That General

00:21:38.360 Milley looks

00:21:39.280 like a 1.00

00:21:39.580 fucking idiot. 1.00

00:21:41.200 He looks 1.00

00:21:41.620 like one,

00:21:42.240 and he seems

00:21:42.740 to act like

00:21:43.300 one, and

00:21:43.840 Trump is at

00:21:44.600 it now, so

00:21:45.280 if it agrees

00:21:46.520 with me, it

00:21:47.040 must be

00:21:47.360 brilliant.

00:21:47.880 That's my

00:21:48.340 philosophy.

00:21:49.720 And I

00:21:52.940 just want to

00:21:53.560 talk about

00:21:54.140 Trump.

00:21:54.520 I don't want

00:21:54.960 to love him.

00:21:56.660 Stop making

00:21:57.500 me love you.

00:21:58.300 And I

00:22:00.300 guess there's

00:22:01.620 something about

00:22:02.120 the boldness

00:22:03.000 of that

00:22:03.500 statement,

00:22:04.580 combined with

00:22:05.660 the complete

00:22:06.580 inappropriateness

00:22:07.660 of it,

00:22:08.900 combined with

00:22:10.380 the complete

00:22:11.660 truth of it.

00:22:13.440 Who can put

00:22:14.460 that stuff

00:22:14.960 together?

00:22:16.500 Right?

00:22:17.300 Completely true,

00:22:18.640 completely provocative,

00:22:20.040 completely

00:22:20.520 inappropriate,

00:22:22.580 completely perfectly

00:22:24.200 said.

00:22:25.540 Nobody else

00:22:26.220 can do that.

00:22:27.500 He's the only

00:22:28.100 one.

00:22:29.040 He's the only

00:22:29.820 person in

00:22:30.440 politics who

00:22:31.680 can put that

00:22:32.580 many layers

00:22:33.480 together in

00:22:34.560 one sentence.

00:22:36.060 It's really

00:22:36.640 unparalleled.

00:22:37.740 I think history

00:22:38.660 is going to be

00:22:39.260 way kinder to

00:22:40.340 Trump than we

00:22:41.820 will be in

00:22:42.340 our lifetimes.

00:22:44.860 The thing that

00:22:46.000 he doesn't get

00:22:46.680 credit for is

00:22:47.360 that he's the

00:22:48.200 best communicator.

00:22:50.080 There are things

00:22:51.160 that I criticize

00:22:52.040 he should have

00:22:52.600 said better,

00:22:53.100 et cetera, 1.00

00:22:53.460 but damn, 0.99

00:22:54.620 I don't think 0.99

00:22:54.980 anybody's better

00:22:55.640 overall if you're

00:22:56.860 looking at the

00:22:57.380 total average.

00:22:59.380 That guy can

00:23:00.280 communicate.

00:23:01.360 All right.

00:23:03.940 Even on CNN,

00:23:05.720 Smirconish's show,

00:23:07.820 they seem to be

00:23:09.300 taking a, I'll

00:23:11.040 say an opinion

00:23:11.740 or a point of

00:23:12.840 view, I'm not

00:23:13.380 sure they would

00:23:13.820 say it of

00:23:14.360 themselves, but

00:23:15.980 that natural

00:23:16.840 immunity, there's

00:23:18.200 not a good reason

00:23:18.900 to treat natural

00:23:19.840 immunity if you've

00:23:20.760 been infected by

00:23:21.520 COVID different

00:23:22.720 from being

00:23:23.260 vaccinated because

00:23:24.280 in fact it

00:23:24.860 might be better

00:23:25.380 than being

00:23:25.760 vaccinated.

00:23:27.080 And I guess

00:23:27.620 the Europeans

00:23:29.500 are not doing

00:23:30.220 that.

00:23:31.120 So even in

00:23:31.700 Germany where

00:23:32.260 things are going

00:23:32.820 to get pretty

00:23:33.600 rough with your

00:23:34.420 passports, et

00:23:35.640 cetera, even in

00:23:36.980 Germany, apparently

00:23:37.980 you can just say

00:23:38.900 you already were

00:23:39.540 infected and you're

00:23:40.320 still good.

00:23:42.420 Why are we not

00:23:43.540 doing that in the

00:23:44.100 United States?

00:23:46.440 I don't even know

00:23:47.240 the reason, do you?

00:23:48.480 So you got your

00:23:49.140 science that would

00:23:51.400 say it would be

00:23:51.940 fine.

00:23:53.920 You've got your,

00:23:55.420 is it just

00:23:56.100 money?

00:23:57.220 Because I can't

00:23:57.960 think of anything

00:23:58.420 else it would be,

00:23:59.500 right?

00:24:00.720 Or is it a

00:24:02.780 practical question

00:24:03.880 because it's

00:24:04.400 harder to

00:24:04.960 demonstrate who

00:24:07.600 already had it,

00:24:08.420 right?

00:24:09.660 Because I don't

00:24:10.100 know, can you

00:24:10.720 get a passport for

00:24:12.320 having been

00:24:12.880 infected in the

00:24:13.620 past or is it

00:24:14.420 just the honor

00:24:15.540 system?

00:24:16.340 So I suspect in

00:24:17.240 the United States

00:24:17.900 it might have more

00:24:18.580 to do with the

00:24:19.100 fact that people

00:24:19.640 would lie and

00:24:21.060 just say they

00:24:21.560 were infected.

00:24:22.660 Because they

00:24:23.220 would, right?

00:24:24.700 Hello, America.

00:24:26.940 So I suspect that

00:24:28.060 our difference has

00:24:28.740 nothing to do with

00:24:29.480 science and

00:24:30.640 everything to do

00:24:31.340 with how do you

00:24:31.940 create a practical

00:24:33.040 standard that can

00:24:35.380 actually work.

00:24:36.320 But the net

00:24:37.540 effect of that

00:24:38.160 would be that we 1.00

00:24:39.660 have the dumbest 1.00

00:24:40.500 policy in the 1.00

00:24:41.940 world. 1.00

00:24:42.940 The dumbest 1.00

00:24:43.560 policy. 1.00

00:24:44.160 We'd be

00:24:44.420 discriminating

00:24:45.240 against the

00:24:45.800 people who had

00:24:46.320 the least reason

00:24:47.120 to be discriminated

00:24:48.060 against.

00:24:49.100 You know, if

00:24:50.060 you were to be

00:24:50.580 logical, you'd

00:24:51.400 say, okay, the

00:24:52.900 people with

00:24:53.360 natural immunity

00:24:54.020 are at the top

00:24:54.740 of the heap and

00:24:55.840 they have the

00:24:56.320 most access of

00:24:57.340 anybody.

00:24:58.680 Next down would

00:24:59.720 be somebody with

00:25:00.440 two vaccinations

00:25:01.240 or three, I

00:25:02.500 guess.

00:25:03.300 Next down would

00:25:03.980 be two.

00:25:04.940 But wouldn't

00:25:05.420 you rank them

00:25:05.920 that way if you

00:25:06.580 were just doing

00:25:07.080 it logically,

00:25:08.580 right?

00:25:11.240 So it must be

00:25:12.220 some kind of

00:25:12.660 practical thing.

00:25:13.660 But the Biden

00:25:14.680 administration is

00:25:15.900 not explaining it

00:25:17.020 in any way that

00:25:17.860 the public can be

00:25:18.800 happy with it.

00:25:19.900 So if they

00:25:20.520 can't explain why

00:25:21.520 they're doing it,

00:25:22.140 you have to

00:25:22.540 assume corruption.

00:25:24.260 That's my rule.

00:25:26.120 If your government

00:25:27.080 does something that

00:25:27.880 doesn't make sense

00:25:28.620 to you and

00:25:29.680 everybody can see

00:25:30.680 that they haven't

00:25:31.800 explained why

00:25:32.420 they're doing it

00:25:32.940 and the public is

00:25:33.780 clearly confused,

00:25:35.340 your default has

00:25:36.720 to assume corruption.

00:25:38.600 So the news

00:25:39.260 should be reporting

00:25:40.080 that if they're not

00:25:41.960 explaining their

00:25:42.840 thinking,

00:25:43.300 if they're not

00:25:45.160 explaining their

00:25:45.920 thinking,

00:25:46.860 it has to be a

00:25:47.560 default assumption

00:25:48.340 of corruption.

00:25:49.260 Just like with

00:25:50.200 the rapid tests,

00:25:53.360 do I have any

00:25:54.280 proof that

00:25:55.000 corruption is the

00:25:55.840 reason that

00:25:56.360 America was so

00:25:57.220 slow to get

00:25:57.780 volume, low-priced

00:26:00.300 rapid tests?

00:26:01.700 I don't have any

00:26:02.580 proof, but it's

00:26:04.180 the default assumption

00:26:05.160 because there's no

00:26:05.880 other explanation

00:26:06.680 that I've seen.

00:26:09.000 So, default

00:26:11.920 assumption that

00:26:12.960 there's something

00:26:13.620 crooked going on.

00:26:15.980 Here's the thing

00:26:17.080 that is the least

00:26:18.420 surprising thing

00:26:19.420 in the world, 1.00

00:26:20.140 but it's so stupid. 1.00

00:26:22.080 Apparently, there 1.00

00:26:24.220 exists and has

00:26:25.520 been found an

00:26:27.380 alternative Mueller

00:26:29.000 report that may be

00:26:31.160 worse for Trump.

00:26:34.660 Really?

00:26:35.980 So, apparently, 1.00

00:26:37.000 the fucking 1.00

00:26:37.560 assholes who put 1.00

00:26:38.560 together the 1.00

00:26:39.120 Mueller report

00:26:39.800 created a second

00:26:42.180 one that was

00:26:42.940 worse for Trump

00:26:44.040 and hid it away

00:26:45.580 and now I guess

00:26:47.300 it's going to be

00:26:47.900 useful because

00:26:49.380 for a lot of

00:26:50.960 good reasons,

00:26:51.780 they didn't want

00:26:52.180 to put the

00:26:52.640 provocative stuff

00:26:53.560 in the final

00:26:54.120 report.

00:26:55.100 So, now we get

00:26:55.900 a whole new

00:26:57.380 series of the

00:27:00.300 Steele dossier,

00:27:02.200 Russia collusion,

00:27:03.840 and the Mueller

00:27:05.540 report.

00:27:06.720 It's coming back.

00:27:08.560 Oh, my God,

00:27:10.820 it's coming back.

00:27:12.940 I don't even know

00:27:15.740 what to say about

00:27:16.200 that, except maybe

00:27:17.780 we should have

00:27:18.280 predicted it, that

00:27:20.420 there would be an

00:27:21.320 alternative Mueller

00:27:22.520 report.

00:27:23.380 Are you freaking

00:27:24.400 kidding me?

00:27:25.540 The alternative

00:27:26.420 Mueller report.

00:27:28.440 All right.

00:27:28.820 here's something, I

00:27:34.960 want to test to see

00:27:35.760 how many of you are

00:27:36.680 aware of this.

00:27:38.340 According to

00:27:39.260 official sources, so

00:27:41.140 this is not your

00:27:41.880 personal opinion,

00:27:42.740 right?

00:27:43.440 So, don't give me

00:27:44.400 your personal opinion.

00:27:46.000 Tell me what you

00:27:46.720 think the official

00:27:47.700 people say.

00:27:49.260 Is CO2 emissions

00:27:51.000 from humans, is it

00:27:53.580 rising?

00:27:54.240 Is CO2

00:27:56.360 rising in the

00:27:57.360 world?

00:27:57.860 Yes or no?

00:27:59.180 Don't give me your

00:28:00.060 own opinions.

00:28:00.840 Give me the official

00:28:01.540 one from science.

00:28:03.760 The scientific

00:28:04.540 official opinion.

00:28:05.880 Go.

00:28:07.460 All right.

00:28:08.120 Locals seems to have

00:28:09.380 all the same opinion,

00:28:10.400 but I'm not going to

00:28:10.960 tell you on YouTube.

00:28:12.620 On YouTube, I'm

00:28:13.680 saying yes, no,

00:28:14.760 yes, yes.

00:28:16.520 Let's wait for

00:28:17.440 some more.

00:28:19.060 On locals, I will

00:28:20.620 tell you, they all

00:28:21.580 say it's not going

00:28:22.440 up, most of them.

00:28:24.160 I'm saying no's.

00:28:25.360 Yeah, what's the

00:28:26.000 official one, not

00:28:26.760 your own opinion?

00:28:27.860 Forget your own

00:28:28.520 opinion.

00:28:28.880 What's the official

00:28:29.620 word on CO2?

00:28:32.040 I'm saying yeses

00:28:32.880 and no's, yeses

00:28:33.920 and no's.

00:28:34.700 All right.

00:28:35.200 You should all be

00:28:35.900 following Michael

00:28:36.820 Schellenberger on

00:28:38.760 Twitter because he's

00:28:42.340 the only person

00:28:43.000 putting any of this

00:28:43.740 in context.

00:28:44.640 Bjorn Lomborg is

00:28:45.480 doing a good job.

00:28:46.840 He focuses a little

00:28:48.000 more on the

00:28:48.400 economic part of it.

00:28:50.020 But Schellenberger

00:28:50.920 does the best job of

00:28:51.940 putting all the

00:28:52.420 stuff in context.

00:28:53.440 So really, for the

00:28:54.140 first time, you can

00:28:56.120 sort of understand

00:28:56.880 what's going on.

00:28:58.020 So if you read

00:28:58.660 Schellenberger, you're

00:29:01.100 going to finally,

00:29:02.440 finally feel like you

00:29:04.240 understand the

00:29:04.940 situation with

00:29:06.020 climate change.

00:29:07.180 Here's what he

00:29:07.880 says.

00:29:09.340 Today, fresh tweet.

00:29:11.160 He says, most people

00:29:12.020 think global carbon

00:29:13.440 emissions have been

00:29:14.320 rising.

00:29:15.900 I thought that.

00:29:18.080 I mean, I thought it

00:29:18.800 until, you know, I

00:29:20.020 think a week ago or

00:29:20.900 so.

00:29:21.040 I thought they were

00:29:22.500 rising.

00:29:23.460 He says, but new

00:29:24.180 data shows they

00:29:24.940 actually declined over

00:29:26.320 the last decade.

00:29:27.240 I think natural gas is

00:29:28.360 the reason replacing

00:29:29.740 coal in a lot of

00:29:31.360 places.

00:29:32.740 And then he says,

00:29:33.900 Schellenberger says,

00:29:34.760 emissions must still

00:29:35.720 decline further.

00:29:37.200 In other words, if we

00:29:38.020 just kept them the

00:29:38.820 same, because the

00:29:41.020 emissions are already

00:29:41.780 kind of high, according

00:29:43.660 to climate scientists,

00:29:44.720 they're high.

00:29:44.980 And if you just kept

00:29:46.640 them the same, or even

00:29:48.360 if it just went down a

00:29:49.420 little bit, it would

00:29:50.100 still be enough to

00:29:51.340 raise the temperature.

00:29:53.100 But, but, the

00:29:55.940 temperature rise would

00:29:57.320 be more likely, based

00:29:58.740 on this new data, to

00:30:00.300 be in the two and a

00:30:01.440 half to three

00:30:02.200 centigrade range, far

00:30:05.160 less than the much

00:30:06.740 feared six degree

00:30:08.500 centigrade prediction.

00:30:10.500 So, already the

00:30:12.820 official, already the

00:30:15.560 official word on

00:30:16.580 climate change, not

00:30:17.480 me making stuff up,

00:30:20.920 you know, not me

00:30:21.600 being a conspiracy

00:30:23.180 theorist, right, just

00:30:24.300 data, says that the

00:30:28.120 warming will happen,

00:30:29.360 and it will cause

00:30:30.540 disruption, according to

00:30:31.740 them.

00:30:32.160 This is not me

00:30:32.920 talking.

00:30:33.900 But it will be in

00:30:34.940 that two and a half to

00:30:36.160 three degree centigrade

00:30:37.600 range.

00:30:38.240 Did you know, let's

00:30:41.220 put that in perspective,

00:30:43.260 as Michael

00:30:44.260 Schellenberger goes

00:30:45.100 on, he says, did

00:30:47.040 you know that warming

00:30:48.900 is better, I'm

00:30:50.060 paraphrasing here, did

00:30:50.860 you know that warming

00:30:51.560 is better than cooling

00:30:52.480 for the planet, right?

00:30:54.840 Warming would cause a

00:30:55.880 bunch of problems, but

00:30:57.740 cooling would cause a

00:30:58.700 bunch of problems, too.

00:30:59.780 And we don't really

00:31:00.520 live in a world where

00:31:01.240 the temperature stays

00:31:02.060 the same, like

00:31:03.460 forever.

00:31:04.320 It's either going to go

00:31:05.300 up or down.

00:31:06.460 So, it looks like it's

00:31:07.580 going to go up.

00:31:08.240 Is that more good or

00:31:10.140 more bad?

00:31:10.820 Well, let's talk to a

00:31:13.180 Yale economist, William

00:31:14.740 Nordhaus, who won the

00:31:16.940 Nobel Prize in 2018, so

00:31:18.940 that's a recent win.

00:31:21.460 He calculated the

00:31:22.540 optimum temperature

00:31:23.620 rise when accounting

00:31:25.300 for both the costs and

00:31:26.600 the benefits.

00:31:28.220 Because rising

00:31:28.920 temperatures also give

00:31:30.760 you more plants, better

00:31:32.100 farming.

00:31:32.920 There's more land to

00:31:34.060 farm.

00:31:34.740 It becomes farmable when

00:31:36.180 it wasn't.

00:31:36.600 So, those are the

00:31:38.260 benefits, and then

00:31:38.980 the negatives would be

00:31:40.020 rising sea levels and

00:31:42.460 maybe more storms and

00:31:43.720 stuff.

00:31:44.300 So, when he calculates

00:31:45.220 all of the possible

00:31:46.180 bad stuff, with all

00:31:47.960 the possible good

00:31:49.500 stuff, he finds that

00:31:51.720 the ideal temperature

00:31:55.500 rise to get the most

00:31:57.320 benefits would be a

00:31:59.760 little bit more than

00:32:01.520 what's predicted to

00:32:02.580 happen.

00:32:02.860 This is the first time

00:32:07.200 I've heard that.

00:32:08.640 Based on the most

00:32:09.820 current information we

00:32:11.040 have, and then a Yale

00:32:12.760 economist Nobel Prize

00:32:14.700 winner calculating the

00:32:16.480 costs and the benefits,

00:32:17.880 it would be better if it

00:32:19.580 got a little warmer.

00:32:23.100 Better economically,

00:32:24.760 better in terms of life

00:32:26.240 quality, better in terms

00:32:28.140 of number of people

00:32:28.960 dying.

00:32:29.360 We've actually

00:32:32.560 overshot the mark

00:32:33.600 already.

00:32:36.640 Climate change

00:32:37.760 is over.

00:32:41.500 It was the biggest

00:32:42.340 problem in the world

00:32:43.200 like six months ago.

00:32:45.400 Ah!

00:32:47.360 Ah!

00:32:49.940 Turns out it's just

00:32:51.080 done.

00:32:51.380 Now, how confident

00:32:55.780 am I of this?

00:32:57.760 Well, not, right?

00:32:59.360 If anybody's confident

00:33:00.760 about a long-range

00:33:02.140 economic prediction,

00:33:04.320 they shouldn't be.

00:33:05.860 But I'll tell you,

00:33:06.700 from the beginning,

00:33:07.580 I've always thought

00:33:08.180 that this would fall

00:33:09.120 into the Adam's Law

00:33:11.100 of slow-moving

00:33:11.900 disasters.

00:33:13.500 If you've got a

00:33:14.560 disaster that's coming

00:33:15.680 but it's moving

00:33:16.300 slowly, and you've

00:33:17.920 got lots of time to

00:33:18.800 adjust and, you know,

00:33:19.880 come up with

00:33:20.400 remediation, we're

00:33:22.080 really good at that

00:33:23.000 as a species,

00:33:24.320 human beings.

00:33:25.380 As long as we have

00:33:26.040 warning, we're really

00:33:28.020 good at, really good

00:33:29.900 at, oh, you 1.00

00:33:30.960 fucking asshole. 1.00

00:33:32.520 Goodbye. 1.00

00:33:33.600 Scott's finally

00:33:34.240 waking up.

00:33:35.620 Scott's finally

00:33:36.220 waking up. 1.00

00:33:37.440 You fucking idiot. 1.00

00:33:38.780 I am not waking 1.00

00:33:39.580 up.

00:33:40.780 Jesus Christ.

00:33:43.520 I'd use her.

00:33:45.200 Scott's finally

00:33:45.920 waking up to the

00:33:47.220 opinion he's always

00:33:47.980 had.

00:33:51.760 I don't know.

00:33:52.700 I think the problem

00:33:53.940 is the binaries.

00:33:54.820 I call them the

00:33:57.100 binaries.

00:33:58.120 The binaries are the

00:33:59.180 people who believe

00:34:00.000 that there are only

00:34:00.540 two opinions, and

00:34:03.100 that that's it.

00:34:04.400 So if I don't agree

00:34:05.800 with you completely

00:34:06.640 with your opinion, I've

00:34:07.600 got to be in that

00:34:08.200 other one opinion.

00:34:09.980 So my opinion is,

00:34:11.400 yeah, the people are

00:34:12.940 probably making the

00:34:13.680 planet warmer, but

00:34:15.360 it's hard to know if

00:34:16.280 that'll be good or

00:34:16.940 bad.

00:34:17.720 That's always been my

00:34:18.960 opinion.

00:34:20.440 Always.

00:34:21.480 It's never changed

00:34:22.340 once.

00:34:22.760 And yet, the

00:34:24.840 binaries are like,

00:34:25.840 well, I don't

00:34:26.320 recognize his opinion

00:34:27.680 to be exactly mine,

00:34:29.400 so therefore,

00:34:31.140 therefore it must be

00:34:32.960 somebody else's

00:34:33.700 opinion.

00:34:35.380 Jeez, it's so

00:34:36.380 boring to deal with

00:34:37.680 the NPCs every day.

00:34:39.980 All right, so if

00:34:41.660 you were worried

00:34:42.240 about the golden age

00:34:43.260 coming, we've got

00:34:44.320 fusion is being

00:34:45.800 funded at the

00:34:46.600 highest levels of

00:34:47.560 our fusion energy

00:34:48.540 because it has been

00:34:50.000 reduced to an

00:34:50.820 engineering problem,

00:34:52.560 meaning that the

00:34:53.360 odds of us, maybe

00:34:55.000 in 20 years, by

00:34:56.460 having unlimited

00:34:58.160 cheap energy, really

00:35:01.020 good.

00:35:02.020 The odds of us being

00:35:03.400 destroyed by climate

00:35:04.480 change, really small.

00:35:08.100 Really small.

00:35:09.960 Climate change, I

00:35:11.140 think, looks fixed.

00:35:13.260 I would even argue

00:35:14.440 that our great

00:35:15.380 division in this

00:35:16.300 country may be well

00:35:19.460 on the way to

00:35:20.240 fixing itself.

00:35:22.040 Now, as soon as

00:35:22.900 Trump gets back in,

00:35:23.960 things might change.

00:35:25.820 So, you know, all

00:35:26.700 bets are off.

00:35:27.840 But at the moment,

00:35:28.760 I think the left

00:35:29.740 has, you know, you

00:35:30.780 can tell by the

00:35:31.360 polls, they realized

00:35:33.240 that Trump wasn't

00:35:34.840 the problem.

00:35:35.940 It was their own 0.89

00:35:36.640 news sources.

00:35:37.780 Now, not all of

00:35:38.580 them, and it's

00:35:39.760 happened.

00:35:42.100 Scott is pretty

00:35:43.000 woke up.

00:35:46.560 All right, you're

00:35:47.520 good-bye.

00:35:49.940 Where is that?

00:35:55.020 Oh, you got away

00:35:55.820 from me before I

00:35:56.460 could block you. 1.00

00:35:57.300 Damn you. 1.00

00:35:59.060 All right, so we 1.00

00:36:00.180 got that.

00:36:01.220 It could be that the

00:36:02.300 mRNA technology, and

00:36:04.800 along with a number

00:36:05.740 of other breakthroughs,

00:36:06.740 are making cancer

00:36:08.280 look like it's

00:36:09.080 completely defeatable.

00:36:11.800 I mean, these are

00:36:12.460 things happening

00:36:13.200 right now.

00:36:13.660 Now, my only

00:36:16.200 concern is that

00:36:17.760 World War III has

00:36:18.580 already started,

00:36:19.640 depending on who

00:36:21.140 you talk to.

00:36:23.220 World War III,

00:36:24.660 China versus the 0.99

00:36:25.940 United States, and

00:36:26.720 maybe others,

00:36:27.940 meaning that it's

00:36:30.000 already a cyber war,

00:36:31.280 and it's already

00:36:31.760 happening in space,

00:36:32.900 mostly in the cyber

00:36:33.700 sense, on

00:36:34.680 satellites.

00:36:35.720 And once we get

00:36:36.640 to space, it'll be

00:36:37.960 a full-on war,

00:36:39.540 because it has to

00:36:40.280 be.

00:36:40.480 Because humans

00:36:41.760 always fight over

00:36:42.600 territory, and

00:36:43.500 space has a lot of

00:36:44.520 territory.

00:36:49.740 So, going to fix

00:36:50.880 AIDS, too?

00:36:51.860 I just saw there's a

00:36:53.760 pill that you can

00:36:55.520 buy a pill for AIDS

00:36:56.720 now that will reduce

00:36:58.560 your virus to

00:36:59.460 undetectable.

00:37:00.880 Did you know that?

00:37:02.700 Now, I don't know

00:37:03.500 if it works for

00:37:04.540 everybody, but you

00:37:05.960 can buy a pill that

00:37:07.960 reduces your AIDS to

00:37:09.660 non-detectable.

00:37:11.480 It's just a pill.

00:37:13.880 I just saw an

00:37:14.840 advertisement for it. 0.96

00:37:16.660 What the hell?

00:37:18.780 So, I'm also 0.96

00:37:20.980 wondering about

00:37:21.700 Fauci's technique.

00:37:24.340 So, I used to 0.93

00:37:25.960 praise the gay 0.58

00:37:28.540 activists, because

00:37:30.460 they made everybody

00:37:31.420 worried about AIDS,

00:37:33.120 when, really,

00:37:35.620 maybe just gay people 0.92

00:37:37.120 should have been 0.99

00:37:37.760 worried about it.

00:37:38.560 because I still

00:37:40.280 don't know, I still

00:37:41.400 have never met a

00:37:42.200 heterosexual person

00:37:43.240 with AIDS. 0.64

00:37:44.920 And when you

00:37:45.780 meet, when you

00:37:46.300 hear about famous

00:37:47.020 people, I won't

00:37:48.420 name names, but if

00:37:50.400 you hear about a

00:37:51.040 famous heterosexual

00:37:52.420 who got AIDS, I'm 0.89

00:37:55.560 just going to

00:37:56.600 hypothesize that

00:37:57.980 maybe they weren't

00:37:58.680 always with women

00:37:59.580 every time.

00:38:01.040 Just put that out

00:38:01.900 there.

00:38:02.060 So, I think that

00:38:04.860 strategy-wise, and

00:38:06.720 was Fauci part of

00:38:07.620 this?

00:38:07.900 Do a fact check on

00:38:08.720 me.

00:38:09.280 But strategy-wise,

00:38:10.320 they were very

00:38:10.840 smart.

00:38:11.900 Because if they'd 0.95

00:38:12.600 said there's a gay 1.00

00:38:13.640 problem in those 0.93

00:38:15.060 days, could they

00:38:16.280 have got funding?

00:38:18.420 If it was only a 0.93

00:38:19.540 gay problem? 1.00

00:38:21.160 You know, remember 0.98

00:38:21.640 these were darker

00:38:23.140 days in the United

00:38:24.100 States.

00:38:24.500 I don't think they

00:38:25.060 could have gotten

00:38:25.520 funding.

00:38:26.660 I think they had to

00:38:27.620 make it everybody's

00:38:28.460 problem.

00:38:28.780 Now you come to

00:38:31.480 the coronavirus.

00:38:35.020 Do kids have a

00:38:37.120 risk?

00:38:37.480 Not much.

00:38:38.940 Do healthy, younger

00:38:40.180 people with no

00:38:41.420 comorbidities have a

00:38:42.660 problem?

00:38:43.020 Not much.

00:38:44.660 But you have to

00:38:46.280 make it everybody's

00:38:47.300 problem to fix it

00:38:49.160 for the people whose

00:38:49.960 problem it is.

00:38:50.800 Older people,

00:38:51.600 comorbidities, etc.

00:38:53.500 It looks like the

00:38:54.540 same play, doesn't

00:38:55.300 it?

00:38:56.220 To make it look

00:38:56.960 like everybody's

00:38:57.760 problem.

00:38:58.780 So that everybody

00:38:59.760 will get, you

00:39:00.700 know, get on

00:39:01.620 board with funding

00:39:02.500 the solution, or

00:39:03.480 whatever you need

00:39:04.060 to do for the

00:39:04.560 solution, for

00:39:06.620 something less than

00:39:08.340 the majority.

00:39:10.220 It looks like the

00:39:11.060 same play.

00:39:11.860 I'm not even going

00:39:12.580 to put a moral

00:39:14.080 judgment on it.

00:39:16.300 I'm just going to

00:39:16.960 say it looks the

00:39:17.580 same to me.

00:39:18.720 And it looks like

00:39:19.540 it worked in both

00:39:20.260 cases.

00:39:21.360 And when I say

00:39:21.960 worked, I mean

00:39:23.480 got the attention

00:39:24.420 that would maybe

00:39:27.300 solve the problem.

00:39:28.040 So there's a

00:39:29.220 real ethical

00:39:29.920 question involved

00:39:31.120 in all of this

00:39:31.720 stuff, because

00:39:33.500 they may have

00:39:34.260 done what

00:39:34.720 worked, but

00:39:36.920 maybe not

00:39:37.500 ethically.

00:39:38.820 And then you've

00:39:39.580 got a dilemma.

00:39:40.420 It's like, well,

00:39:41.600 I like that it

00:39:42.440 worked.

00:39:43.660 I like that the

00:39:45.220 gay community of

00:39:47.020 the world is not

00:39:47.840 being wiped out

00:39:48.620 while we stand on

00:39:49.620 the sidelines and

00:39:50.400 ignore it.

00:39:51.400 Because that could

00:39:51.940 have happened,

00:39:52.940 right?

00:39:53.260 I mean, that could

00:39:53.760 have happened

00:39:54.060 pretty easily.

00:39:55.140 But instead,

00:39:56.800 maybe we were

00:39:57.940 the victims of

00:39:59.980 hyperbole and

00:40:01.520 maybe scared

00:40:02.980 more than some

00:40:03.980 of us needed

00:40:04.540 to be.

00:40:05.580 And that

00:40:06.260 created the

00:40:07.840 action that got

00:40:08.760 the solution for

00:40:09.560 the gay community.

00:40:10.240 And I'm happy

00:40:11.620 about that.

00:40:12.380 I'm happy about

00:40:13.040 the outcome.

00:40:14.580 But it feels a

00:40:16.700 little unethical,

00:40:17.960 the way we got

00:40:18.620 there, right?

00:40:19.140 So, there's

00:40:23.540 that.

00:40:24.500 Jesse Kelly asked

00:40:25.320 this question, and

00:40:26.140 I know this is

00:40:26.960 going to get me

00:40:27.420 in trouble.

00:40:27.900 He said, why do

00:40:28.720 the vaccinated need

00:40:29.740 to be protected

00:40:30.460 from the

00:40:30.960 unvaccinated?

00:40:32.020 Now, the

00:40:32.400 cleverness of

00:40:33.020 that is that

00:40:33.560 that was never

00:40:34.540 the question

00:40:35.180 exactly.

00:40:36.880 It's more about

00:40:37.880 why do the

00:40:38.900 unvaccinated get

00:40:41.420 their rights

00:40:42.040 suppressed under

00:40:43.540 our current

00:40:43.940 situation?

00:40:45.700 And is

00:40:46.600 anybody who

00:40:47.140 doesn't know

00:40:47.940 what the

00:40:49.320 logic of

00:40:49.920 keeping the

00:40:50.400 vaccinated from

00:40:51.140 the unvaccinated

00:40:51.980 is?

00:40:52.620 Is there

00:40:52.800 anybody who

00:40:53.140 doesn't know

00:40:53.940 the official

00:40:55.460 reason?

00:40:56.360 You know, this

00:40:56.700 is not my

00:40:57.260 opinion per se.

00:40:59.060 But do you

00:40:59.780 actually not

00:41:00.540 know why

00:41:01.640 that is?

00:41:06.860 A number of

00:41:07.720 you say that

00:41:08.140 you don't

00:41:08.460 know.

00:41:10.120 The answer

00:41:10.760 is that if

00:41:11.280 you put a

00:41:11.660 bunch of

00:41:12.060 unvaccinated

00:41:12.840 people anywhere,

00:41:15.180 it increases

00:41:16.420 hospitalizations.

00:41:17.940 That's the

00:41:18.620 whole story.

00:41:19.520 It wouldn't

00:41:20.140 matter if you

00:41:20.640 put the

00:41:20.940 unvaccinated

00:41:21.640 people with

00:41:22.260 vaccinated people

00:41:23.280 or anybody

00:41:23.940 else.

00:41:24.580 You put

00:41:25.200 unvaccinated

00:41:26.000 people together,

00:41:27.360 you get more

00:41:28.280 virus.

00:41:29.840 Now, I'm not

00:41:30.480 saying that

00:41:30.940 that's a reason

00:41:31.520 for restricting

00:41:32.820 them, because

00:41:33.760 I'm anti-mandate.

00:41:35.360 Let me say

00:41:35.820 that clearly.

00:41:37.040 At this point

00:41:38.040 in time with

00:41:38.860 the current

00:41:39.240 situation, risks

00:41:40.380 and benefits,

00:41:41.700 I don't see

00:41:42.660 the mandate

00:41:44.400 being right

00:41:46.080 for America.

00:41:47.660 But, I

00:41:49.340 don't doubt

00:41:50.060 math.

00:41:51.080 If you put

00:41:51.800 people without 0.96

00:41:53.980 vaccinations

00:41:54.620 together, you're

00:41:56.120 going to get

00:41:56.440 more virus than

00:41:58.260 if you only put

00:41:59.140 vaccinated people

00:41:59.880 together.

00:42:00.660 Does anybody

00:42:01.200 disagree?

00:42:04.100 Does anybody

00:42:04.900 disagree with

00:42:05.560 the math of

00:42:06.300 it?

00:42:06.480 Forget about

00:42:06.920 what's right,

00:42:07.980 because I think

00:42:08.800 we're all on

00:42:09.140 the same page

00:42:10.320 about no

00:42:10.740 mandates,

00:42:11.280 probably, if

00:42:11.800 you're watching

00:42:12.140 this.

00:42:14.680 I just want

00:42:15.080 to see your

00:42:15.800 so has it

00:42:17.060 been proven?

00:42:18.460 It doesn't

00:42:19.160 need to be

00:42:19.560 proven.

00:42:20.160 There's nothing

00:42:20.620 to prove.

00:42:21.860 If you put

00:42:22.460 unvaccinated

00:42:23.240 people in a

00:42:24.720 room, they

00:42:25.340 have greater

00:42:25.860 risk than

00:42:27.400 vaccinated people.

00:42:28.700 That's no

00:42:29.180 question, is it?

00:42:30.340 Is there anybody

00:42:30.780 who doubts

00:42:31.140 that?

00:42:31.800 If you had

00:42:32.280 two rooms

00:42:32.780 full of

00:42:33.100 people, one

00:42:34.420 who are all

00:42:34.880 vaccinated, and

00:42:36.720 one of all

00:42:37.520 unvaccinated, and

00:42:39.860 you hadn't

00:42:40.320 checked them for

00:42:41.060 virus yet,

00:42:42.140 so in both

00:42:43.100 cases, there

00:42:43.680 could be a

00:42:44.060 virus, right?

00:42:45.400 So you've

00:42:45.800 got a room

00:42:46.160 of fully

00:42:46.620 vaccinated

00:42:47.080 people, you

00:42:47.660 can still

00:42:48.080 have a

00:42:48.420 virus and

00:42:49.500 still transmit

00:42:50.140 it, and

00:42:51.100 you've got

00:42:51.380 one of no

00:42:52.400 vaccinated

00:42:52.840 people in

00:42:53.380 it, you

00:42:54.360 can still

00:42:54.740 transmit the

00:42:55.300 virus.

00:42:55.660 Which one

00:42:56.040 would, which

00:42:57.300 one, if you

00:42:58.160 came back in

00:42:58.640 a week, which

00:42:59.680 one would have

00:43:00.240 infected more

00:43:00.980 people?

00:43:04.640 Some of you

00:43:05.340 are going to

00:43:05.700 say, well, we

00:43:06.800 don't know, the

00:43:07.400 data is unclear

00:43:08.220 on that.

00:43:09.780 And, you

00:43:10.320 know, anybody

00:43:10.740 who says data

00:43:11.380 is unclear,

00:43:11.920 I'm already

00:43:13.120 biased in your

00:43:13.840 favor.

00:43:14.080 But the data

00:43:15.680 we have, correct

00:43:18.180 or not, is

00:43:19.640 that the

00:43:19.980 vaccinated group

00:43:20.860 would have no

00:43:21.720 hospitalizations when

00:43:22.880 you're done.

00:43:24.200 How many would

00:43:24.740 disagree with that

00:43:25.360 statement?

00:43:26.300 That if you had

00:43:26.800 that study, you

00:43:27.840 know, two rooms,

00:43:28.640 one with only

00:43:29.220 vaccinated and one

00:43:30.120 with only

00:43:30.640 unvaccinated,

00:43:31.960 wouldn't it be

00:43:32.540 true that if you

00:43:34.040 infected both

00:43:34.840 rooms and come

00:43:36.320 back in a week,

00:43:37.140 the vaccinated

00:43:38.880 people would

00:43:39.480 have essentially

00:43:40.480 zero hospitalizations,

00:43:43.820 I don't know how

00:43:44.500 much spread, but

00:43:46.200 zero hospitalizations,

00:43:47.620 whereas the other

00:43:48.540 group would have

00:43:49.120 some.

00:43:51.560 Anybody disagree

00:43:52.460 with that statement?

00:43:55.160 So I see people

00:43:56.540 disagree, and I

00:43:57.460 respect the

00:43:58.100 disagreement because

00:43:59.040 all the information

00:43:59.860 we get seems to

00:44:01.380 be sketchy,

00:44:03.120 right?

00:44:03.320 As soon as you

00:44:04.980 say, I saw some

00:44:06.380 information and

00:44:07.260 therefore my

00:44:08.960 opinion is final,

00:44:12.040 that's not very

00:44:12.780 smart.

00:44:14.000 We don't live in a

00:44:14.880 world where I saw

00:44:15.860 some reliable

00:44:16.580 information and

00:44:17.580 therefore I formed

00:44:18.400 my opinion makes

00:44:19.220 any sense anymore.

00:44:20.840 It used to.

00:44:22.300 But now our data

00:44:23.400 is so unreliable on

00:44:25.340 everything that as

00:44:27.540 soon as you say,

00:44:28.200 yeah, I saw some

00:44:28.800 data and therefore I

00:44:29.660 made a decision,

00:44:30.500 I think you've

00:44:32.020 departed reason.

00:44:33.320 Unless you put a

00:44:35.380 statistical, you

00:44:36.860 know, figure on it

00:44:37.600 like, well, 50-50,

00:44:38.920 but I went this

00:44:39.500 way.

00:44:41.200 So I would say

00:44:43.020 that the answer is

00:44:44.020 clear.

00:44:44.720 You shouldn't act

00:44:45.420 surprised.

00:44:46.780 The answer is

00:44:47.440 clear that unvaccinated

00:44:49.480 people in the

00:44:50.540 community are more

00:44:51.360 likely to be

00:44:52.080 hospitalized.

00:44:53.800 And that's it.

00:44:55.300 So it's not really

00:44:56.080 a mystery, but if

00:44:57.820 you wanted to doubt

00:44:58.800 that the data is

00:44:59.980 accurate, well, I

00:45:01.940 have some

00:45:03.140 sympathy for that.

00:45:04.620 I have some

00:45:06.320 appreciation for

00:45:08.260 anybody who says

00:45:09.060 every data is

00:45:10.160 wrong.

00:45:11.780 Oh, let me tell

00:45:12.660 you what really

00:45:13.200 pisses me off. 0.72

00:45:14.580 Because I know

00:45:15.500 this is in my

00:45:16.140 future.

00:45:17.700 Let's say any

00:45:18.680 situation arises and

00:45:20.760 there's going to be

00:45:21.320 part of the country

00:45:22.780 that says, no, the

00:45:24.580 government is lying.

00:45:26.280 Right?

00:45:26.820 It doesn't matter

00:45:27.300 what the topic is.

00:45:28.760 There's going to be

00:45:29.200 some segment that

00:45:30.020 says, nope, the

00:45:31.040 government's lying.

00:45:31.680 So don't believe

00:45:33.520 them.

00:45:34.380 Now, does the

00:45:35.040 government lie about

00:45:36.020 every single thing?

00:45:38.260 Well, no.

00:45:39.600 Not everything.

00:45:41.400 It lies a lot, but

00:45:43.500 not at every single

00:45:44.620 thing.

00:45:46.120 So if you and I

00:45:48.460 disagree about, you

00:45:49.940 know, what a good

00:45:52.000 prediction would look

00:45:52.840 like in a given

00:45:53.480 situation, and let's

00:45:55.160 say I say, well, I

00:45:57.160 think the government is

00:45:57.940 right this time because,

00:45:59.100 you know, independent

00:45:59.740 experts agree, whatever

00:46:01.140 I say.

00:46:02.200 Let's say I side with

00:46:03.560 the government's point

00:46:04.740 of view on a

00:46:06.900 particular question.

00:46:08.500 There will always be

00:46:09.380 some people on the

00:46:10.060 other side who took

00:46:10.940 the other position.

00:46:12.460 I hate it when that

00:46:13.640 side is right.

00:46:15.800 I hate it when the

00:46:17.520 people who don't look 0.99

00:46:18.280 at any of the data,

00:46:19.840 don't look at any of

00:46:20.660 the argument, they

00:46:21.320 just say, you know,

00:46:22.500 it's coming from the

00:46:23.460 government, so it's

00:46:24.160 probably a lie.

00:46:25.380 And then it turns out

00:46:26.140 they're right. 0.93

00:46:26.600 I freaking hate

00:46:28.900 that. 0.94

00:46:29.820 I hate that so much

00:46:31.500 because it's me being

00:46:33.640 wrong for the wrong

00:46:36.540 reason, right?

00:46:38.620 Yeah, track record,

00:46:39.980 right?

00:46:40.400 But I don't think the

00:46:41.140 track record is like

00:46:42.020 100% lies.

00:46:44.480 I don't think so.

00:46:45.820 I hope not.

00:46:47.320 But a lot, sure.

00:46:50.360 Malcolm Gladwell's

00:46:51.440 blink.

00:46:51.980 I think that got a

00:46:52.800 little debunked, that

00:46:53.840 blink concept.

00:46:54.600 The vaccinated

00:46:58.720 transmit as much as

00:47:00.400 the unvaccinated.

00:47:01.560 Now, Lucy, so Lucy's

00:47:03.000 got a statement here

00:47:03.900 that says the

00:47:05.300 vaccinated transmit as 0.67

00:47:06.720 much as the

00:47:07.300 vaccinated.

00:47:08.080 Now, the official

00:47:09.020 word is that that's

00:47:09.900 debunked and untrue,

00:47:11.500 which is different from

00:47:13.060 whether it is actually

00:47:14.100 untrue.

00:47:15.160 All right, you get

00:47:15.620 that, right?

00:47:16.620 But be aware what the

00:47:18.420 official word is.

00:47:19.560 The official word is

00:47:20.640 the vaccinated people

00:47:22.320 don't even have the

00:47:23.940 virus as long.

00:47:26.220 So if you're

00:47:27.580 vaccinated, maybe you

00:47:29.260 could spread it just

00:47:30.420 as much for a day.

00:47:33.060 But if you're

00:47:33.780 unvaccinated, you can

00:47:34.940 spread it that same

00:47:35.780 amount for, let's say,

00:47:36.740 three days.

00:47:37.580 I'm making up the

00:47:38.540 numbers.

00:47:39.740 But do you get that,

00:47:40.460 Lucy?

00:47:41.660 That according to the

00:47:43.140 official word, there

00:47:45.020 would be a really big

00:47:45.900 difference, but not at

00:47:47.360 any moment.

00:47:48.100 So there could be a

00:47:49.620 moment in time when

00:47:51.400 the vaccinated and

00:47:52.460 unvaccinated person

00:47:53.520 who's infected could

00:47:54.700 be exactly the same

00:47:55.720 for a moment.

00:47:57.540 But that moment only

00:47:58.760 lasts a little while

00:47:59.820 for the vaccinated

00:48:00.540 because they resolve

00:48:01.500 it faster, and it

00:48:02.780 lasts longer for the

00:48:03.900 unvaccinated.

00:48:04.760 Does everybody get

00:48:05.400 that?

00:48:06.440 Now, I'm not saying

00:48:07.180 it's true.

00:48:08.380 That's different,

00:48:09.580 because that would be

00:48:10.200 believing the data.

00:48:11.360 I'm just saying what

00:48:12.020 the data says, that

00:48:13.980 that's the official

00:48:14.740 word, right?

00:48:15.920 Everybody?

00:48:16.280 So look in the

00:48:17.580 comments, Lucy, and

00:48:18.640 you'll see.

00:48:19.360 Now, I believe that

00:48:20.060 where that belief came

00:48:21.360 from is the studies

00:48:23.300 that said that the

00:48:24.420 vaccinated people who

00:48:25.860 got infected had as

00:48:27.420 much viral stuff, you

00:48:30.140 know, that they were

00:48:30.740 expelling as

00:48:32.320 unvaccinated.

00:48:33.920 And I think that's

00:48:34.700 true.

00:48:35.760 It just doesn't last

00:48:36.960 as long, and that's

00:48:37.740 a big, big difference,

00:48:38.880 how long it lasts.

00:48:41.000 All right.

00:48:44.680 Adams, so now,

00:48:46.280 I'm gaslighting and

00:48:47.280 goalposts moving.

00:48:49.140 Now, why would you

00:48:51.300 pay a subscription

00:48:53.080 fee to listen to me

00:48:54.860 if you think any of

00:48:55.820 that's true?

00:48:58.180 In fact, I just did a

00:48:59.900 comic exactly about

00:49:01.720 you.

00:49:03.120 The comic I just

00:49:04.300 wrote is about people

00:49:05.780 accusing me of moving

00:49:07.260 the goalposts when

00:49:08.780 nothing like that has

00:49:09.900 ever happened.

00:49:11.620 It's the most common

00:49:12.500 thing I get is, you're

00:49:14.020 moving the goalposts.

00:49:14.960 I don't think I ever

00:49:15.660 have a once.

00:49:21.340 Vax breakthrough

00:49:22.380 cases have been

00:49:23.220 rising?

00:49:23.760 Well, they should.

00:49:25.020 They should.

00:49:26.280 Don't you think that

00:49:27.380 the Vax breakthrough

00:49:28.960 cases should be

00:49:30.760 rising, even if the

00:49:32.540 government is

00:49:33.040 completely right about

00:49:34.400 what vaccinations are

00:49:36.140 at the moment?

00:49:36.680 Addison's comment, I

00:49:43.820 agree with.

00:49:44.560 So at the moment, it

00:49:46.880 looks increasingly

00:49:48.400 clear that Omicron is

00:49:49.840 a super mild version,

00:49:51.840 right?

00:49:53.840 How many of you who

00:49:55.040 are vaccinated or even

00:49:56.320 unvaccinated have

00:49:57.580 thought to yourself, if

00:49:58.620 you could get some of

00:49:59.560 that Omicron, you would

00:50:00.880 go get it today?

00:50:01.700 Like, if you could

00:50:02.920 infect yourself and you 0.69

00:50:04.640 knew it was the

00:50:05.320 Omicron, wouldn't you

00:50:07.640 do it today?

00:50:08.920 Now, don't take any

00:50:10.080 medical advice from me,

00:50:11.440 please, please, please.

00:50:12.780 Do not, do not, do not,

00:50:15.220 do not take medical

00:50:17.300 advice from a cartoonist.

00:50:19.960 Some of you would die if

00:50:22.320 you tried that technique.

00:50:23.840 Let me be clear.

00:50:24.680 However, if you try to

00:50:26.140 intentionally infect

00:50:26.980 yourself, some of you 0.97

00:50:29.320 are going to die. 0.97

00:50:30.840 That's just going to 0.92

00:50:31.720 happen.

00:50:32.400 So don't take my

00:50:33.120 advice.

00:50:34.000 But personally, just

00:50:36.000 what, you know, given

00:50:36.960 the, let's say,

00:50:39.260 incomplete nature of

00:50:40.580 data, so you can never

00:50:41.880 know what's the right

00:50:42.820 choice, but if you said

00:50:44.680 to me, Scott, I can

00:50:46.280 guarantee I can give

00:50:47.500 you some of this

00:50:48.020 Omicron stuff and it

00:50:49.860 will make you naturally

00:50:50.980 immune to all the rest

00:50:52.000 of it, and you're

00:50:53.680 already vaccinated,

00:50:54.680 so there's not much

00:50:55.340 risk.

00:50:55.860 If that was the

00:50:56.700 proposition, and it

00:50:58.300 looks like it might

00:50:58.960 be, yeah, I would

00:51:00.860 sign up for that.

00:51:01.960 I would do it today.

00:51:03.880 I wouldn't even wait.

00:51:05.120 I'd say, can I have

00:51:05.860 that by lunchtime?

00:51:07.320 Give me that

00:51:07.880 Omicron.

00:51:08.860 Give it to me hard.

00:51:12.140 All of us are going

00:51:13.020 to die, Maggie says.

00:51:16.540 Good philosophy? 0.54

00:51:19.780 Sure.

00:51:22.820 Let me give you a

00:51:23.660 trip, a trick to get

00:51:25.580 you out of your

00:51:26.780 temporary depression.

00:51:29.500 Maybe I've told you

00:51:30.240 this before, but this

00:51:31.180 will be gigantic for

00:51:33.040 some of you.

00:51:33.780 You ready?

00:51:35.260 Do you ever have a

00:51:35.920 day when you're just so

00:51:37.160 unhappy and sad you

00:51:38.340 think you could just 1.00

00:51:39.160 kill yourself? 1.00

00:51:41.960 You have. 0.98

00:51:43.120 Now, fortunately, most

00:51:44.140 of us just have that

00:51:45.840 fleeting thought, and

00:51:46.900 it's not actualized.

00:51:48.940 But let's say you have

00:51:52.400 one of those days when 0.99

00:51:53.240 you say, damn it, it's 0.99

00:51:54.520 just not worth it. 0.99

00:51:56.560 Here's what you do.

00:51:59.140 Redefine it this way.

00:52:01.240 Say to yourself, you

00:52:02.180 know, suppose I did plan

00:52:05.280 to end it all, and this

00:52:07.320 was my last day.

00:52:09.460 How would I act

00:52:10.240 differently if it were

00:52:11.180 my last day?

00:52:13.040 Well, you wouldn't have

00:52:13.920 to worry about getting

00:52:14.520 embarrassed, would you?

00:52:15.780 Suppose you could live

00:52:19.280 one day of your life

00:52:20.460 with no risk of

00:52:21.380 embarrassment, and you

00:52:23.680 don't even worry about,

00:52:24.660 let's say, exceeding

00:52:25.520 the speed limit.

00:52:27.360 You just stop worrying

00:52:28.460 about what people think

00:52:29.360 of you.

00:52:30.740 You just imagine what

00:52:31.760 it would be like if

00:52:32.820 you were going to be

00:52:33.500 gone tomorrow, just

00:52:34.580 gone, gone, like dead

00:52:36.100 gone.

00:52:37.800 And watch how that

00:52:38.780 changes your everything.

00:52:42.460 That sadness that you

00:52:43.740 had will start to

00:52:45.680 turn into a superpower.

00:52:48.540 You can reframe it as

00:52:50.100 a power.

00:52:51.640 Because when you're

00:52:52.460 in a bad mood, you can

00:52:54.400 do all the things that

00:52:55.920 you wouldn't have done

00:52:56.660 before.

00:52:57.120 Don't do anything that

00:52:57.800 would kill you.

00:52:58.800 Don't do anything that

00:52:59.620 will lose all your money

00:53:00.920 or be irreversible.

00:53:03.440 Don't do irreversible

00:53:04.740 things.

00:53:05.940 But do things that just

00:53:07.060 were a stretch.

00:53:09.380 Scare yourself. 0.98

00:53:11.460 Scare the shit out of 0.99

00:53:12.580 yourself. 0.99

00:53:13.780 Walk up to that person

00:53:14.760 you know is going to

00:53:15.620 turn you down.

00:53:16.960 And ask them on a

00:53:17.720 date.

00:53:18.840 And then when they

00:53:19.420 turn you down, because

00:53:20.300 maybe they will.

00:53:22.680 How do you feel?

00:53:24.180 Well, you don't feel bad

00:53:25.080 if you're going to die 0.83

00:53:25.680 tomorrow. 0.99

00:53:27.000 Like, hopefully you're

00:53:28.240 not going to die tomorrow

00:53:29.100 and that's not your plan.

00:53:30.780 But frame it that way.

00:53:33.060 Just allow yourself to

00:53:34.920 feel it's the last day

00:53:36.240 on earth.

00:53:37.320 It changes everything.

00:53:38.600 It's a really good trick.

00:53:39.480 I use it all the time.

00:53:40.260 And it's amazing.

00:53:43.240 You will thank me.

00:53:46.960 Yes, it's like the movie

00:53:48.440 A Wonderful Life in a

00:53:49.400 sense, yes.

00:53:52.340 Scott, in all capitals,

00:53:53.720 explained why the death

00:53:54.760 counts are up since

00:53:55.980 vaccines and other

00:53:57.080 treatments.

00:53:58.660 Is that a mystery to

00:53:59.840 anybody?

00:54:00.680 Why would the death

00:54:01.940 counts be up at the

00:54:04.040 same time that vaccines

00:54:06.080 are more fully

00:54:07.200 implemented?

00:54:08.300 Can anybody answer

00:54:08.880 that?

00:54:11.300 Because there's

00:54:12.100 more infection.

00:54:15.300 Was that hard?

00:54:17.640 If there's more

00:54:18.460 infection, there's

00:54:20.340 more death, no matter

00:54:22.080 what you're doing

00:54:22.620 about it.

00:54:25.340 Why did World War II

00:54:26.920 kill more people than

00:54:28.420 your neighbors arguing 0.99

00:54:30.860 about their trash cans?

00:54:32.700 Because it was World War

00:54:33.820 II.

00:54:35.640 And that's not you

00:54:36.680 neighboring.

00:54:37.000 You know, it's not

00:54:38.080 like arguing with

00:54:40.280 your neighbor.

00:54:42.000 If infections go

00:54:43.160 through the roof, the

00:54:44.200 death count's going up

00:54:45.140 no matter what.

00:54:45.940 It doesn't matter how

00:54:46.540 many people are

00:54:47.040 infected.

00:54:52.620 Right, and

00:54:53.200 everybody's vaccinated.

00:54:54.420 Once you get

00:54:54.860 everybody vaccinated,

00:54:56.720 then if you die,

00:54:58.380 you're dying

00:54:59.060 vaccinated.

00:55:00.440 So, yeah, that

00:55:01.000 might be a counting

00:55:02.300 problem as well.

00:55:09.280 Then why more

00:55:10.220 infections?

00:55:10.940 The reason there's

00:55:11.680 more infection is

00:55:12.480 we're in a pandemic

00:55:13.540 and we don't have

00:55:14.400 anything that stops

00:55:15.280 it.

00:55:15.960 We know that we

00:55:17.320 wanted vaccines to

00:55:18.780 stop it, but they

00:55:19.500 don't do that.

00:55:20.940 Which doesn't mean

00:55:21.900 that the vaccines are

00:55:22.800 necessarily useless.

00:55:23.900 They just don't stop 0.70

00:55:24.840 it cold.

00:55:25.240 pretty wrong, Scott.

00:55:32.060 Natural immunity does.

00:55:33.480 Natural immunity does

00:55:34.320 what?

00:55:35.220 Because apparently

00:55:35.860 there are people with

00:55:36.540 natural immunity who've

00:55:37.460 gotten it twice.

00:55:38.700 Are you aware of that?

00:55:40.580 That's the thing.

00:55:42.400 So, they probably were

00:55:44.000 immunocompromised or

00:55:45.760 something.

00:55:49.060 Yes, and we're all not

00:55:50.640 sitting at home.

00:55:51.580 That's true.

00:55:52.300 There's more

00:55:52.680 interaction.

00:55:53.180 I'm deeply depressed

00:56:03.540 from a loss

00:56:04.180 suffering 10 years

00:56:05.420 ago.

00:56:06.440 What do you do

00:56:07.180 about somebody who

00:56:07.900 had a loss 10 years

00:56:09.120 ago and can't get

00:56:10.040 over it?

00:56:11.240 I don't have a quick

00:56:13.060 answer for that.

00:56:17.500 Yes, I did predict

00:56:18.720 that they would, if

00:56:20.060 anybody doesn't know

00:56:20.960 this, I did predict

00:56:21.860 at the beginning

00:56:22.580 when Project Warp

00:56:24.820 Speed was first

00:56:26.060 announced.

00:56:26.520 I did predict it

00:56:27.220 would fail to

00:56:28.640 create a vaccine

00:56:29.980 that actually stopped

00:56:31.060 the coronavirus.

00:56:32.660 And the reason I

00:56:33.280 predicted it was not

00:56:34.460 because I'm so smart.

00:56:36.080 It's because all of

00:56:37.020 the experts who had

00:56:37.800 worked in that field

00:56:38.700 said we've been

00:56:39.360 working on this for

00:56:40.060 decades and we're

00:56:41.840 not even close.

00:56:43.560 So we're definitely

00:56:44.320 not going to do it

00:56:44.960 in a year.

00:56:45.400 And I thought, well,

00:56:47.600 if everybody working

00:56:48.460 in the field says

00:56:50.440 they can't do it and

00:56:51.280 they don't know how

00:56:51.820 to do it, probably

00:56:54.120 they're right.

00:56:56.220 Sometimes the right

00:56:57.240 brothers, the rogues

00:56:59.260 are right.

00:57:00.180 But if you wanted to

00:57:01.160 place a bet, you

00:57:03.820 should usually bet

00:57:04.860 against the rogue

00:57:05.980 exception people.

00:57:08.720 Sometimes they're right

00:57:09.900 and then it makes big

00:57:10.940 news and you remember

00:57:11.760 them forever.

00:57:12.820 But not usually.

00:57:13.620 Usually they're dead

00:57:14.940 wrong, the people

00:57:15.980 who are the skeptics

00:57:18.280 and the resistors

00:57:19.480 and such.

00:57:25.720 Why do we have

00:57:26.780 more deaths with us

00:57:28.460 having vaccines first?

00:57:30.320 We just answer that

00:57:31.540 because there's just

00:57:33.120 more virus.

00:57:35.200 And unfortunately

00:57:36.360 the vaccines don't

00:57:37.420 prevent you from

00:57:38.480 dying entirely.

00:57:39.960 They just reduce it.

00:57:43.620 Let's see.

00:57:48.560 Wow, a lot of

00:57:49.080 comments today.

00:57:50.120 Have you noticed

00:57:50.680 that there's a

00:57:51.660 tremendous amount

00:57:52.860 of energy that

00:57:53.640 just ramped up?

00:57:55.280 The trolls came out, 0.99

00:57:56.620 the paid trolls 0.99

00:57:57.520 that always attack 0.89

00:57:58.800 anybody who says

00:58:00.280 anything about

00:58:00.900 Trump. 0.90

00:58:02.580 So the trolls 0.83

00:58:03.560 are out, but

00:58:04.520 my YouTube traffic

00:58:06.500 doubled just in

00:58:09.040 the last, you know,

00:58:10.440 I don't know,

00:58:11.180 few weeks.

00:58:11.740 So something

00:58:13.640 happened where

00:58:14.580 the world was

00:58:15.360 sort of sleepy

00:58:16.040 over the summer

00:58:16.780 and then

00:58:17.640 just everything

00:58:19.900 took off,

00:58:20.480 just the energy.

00:58:22.040 Is it because

00:58:22.480 of the weather?

00:58:23.700 Could be.

00:58:25.000 All right, that's

00:58:25.560 about all I have

00:58:26.100 to say today.

00:58:26.780 I'm going to turn

00:58:27.240 off YouTube.

00:58:28.520 I'm going to say

00:58:28.940 a few more words

00:58:29.760 to the locals

00:58:30.420 crowd.

00:58:31.920 And yeah,

00:58:34.220 maybe, maybe

00:58:34.840 it's because it's

00:58:35.320 winter.

00:58:36.120 And I will talk

00:58:36.720 to you tomorrow.

00:58:38.420 mountains,

00:58:40.640 open up.

00:58:45.300 It's going to be

00:58:46.260 good.

00:58:47.180 You're welcome.

00:58:48.680 You're welcome.

00:58:49.180 You're welcome.
