Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1596 Scott Adams： I Will Fix Your Mass Formation Psychosis Problem Today

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the best thing that ever happened to you.

00:00:06.440 And anybody you know, people you haven't even met, people who haven't even been born,

00:00:11.400 this is the best thing that's ever happened to them.

00:00:14.340 And if you'd like to take it up a notch, and I'm pretty sure that's the kind of people you are.

00:00:19.280 I can tell from here, smarter than average, sexier than average, obviously,

00:00:24.340 and a little bit more go-getter than the average person.

00:00:27.720 So let's take it up a little bit higher.

00:00:30.800 All you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice, a canteen jug or a flask,

00:00:34.800 a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:38.180 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day.

00:00:44.240 It's the thing that makes everything better, except the Omicron variant.

00:00:49.640 It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now. Go.

00:00:51.320 Oh, I was wrong.

00:00:56.760 I was wrong.

00:00:58.340 It actually helped with the Omicron variant, too.

00:01:02.240 I don't know, it surprises me every time.

00:01:06.720 Well, let's talk about Nicholas Sandman.

00:01:09.420 You remember him.

00:01:10.260 He was one of the Covington kids.

00:01:12.460 And he was the one that the news, the fake news business acted as though he was some kind of a horrible racist,

00:01:22.140 but in fact it was just a fake video that fooled me for about a day, too,

00:01:28.040 that made it look like he was the aggressor, but in fact he was not.

00:01:32.980 It was the opposite.

00:01:33.800 Well, he just won a settlement from NBC for the, I guess, the misleading way in which he was characterized on their network.

00:01:46.180 Now, he tweeted today, Nicholas Sandman did,

00:01:49.120 that at this time I would like to release that NBC and I have reached a settlement.

00:01:54.100 The terms are confidential.

00:01:56.200 Damn it.

00:01:57.660 Confidential.

00:01:58.820 Is there any way we could find out what range this confidential agreement is in?

00:02:05.380 Well, I tried to solve this for you.

00:02:08.100 I tweeted at Nick this morning,

00:02:10.180 and I asked if he would be willing to purchase an automobile.

00:02:15.480 I'm sure he's in the market.

00:02:18.580 If he'd be willing to purchase an automobile that told us how much he got without telling us how much he got.

00:02:26.180 Do you feel me?

00:02:27.480 For example, if he were to show up in a new Prius,

00:02:30.680 I'd say to myself,

00:02:31.720 huh, looks like he got under $100,000.

00:02:35.040 If he were to show up in a high-end Ferrari,

00:02:40.800 I'd say to myself,

00:02:41.780 oh, we're talking millions.

00:02:44.360 Talking millions.

00:02:45.720 Oh, I'm asking, Nick,

00:02:46.920 don't violate the terms of your settlement,

00:02:49.560 but please, just buy us an automobile that tells us without telling us,

00:02:53.700 if you know what I mean.

00:02:55.020 You know what I mean?

00:02:55.820 Wink, wink.

00:02:56.940 All right.

00:02:58.360 Well, Ghislaine Maxwell did not testify in her defense

00:03:02.380 because she says the defense rests,

00:03:04.940 there are no revelations,

00:03:06.760 and there's nothing else to say,

00:03:08.520 and the case was not made,

00:03:09.780 so she doesn't even need to testify.

00:03:12.660 Well, I think Mike Cernovich was noting that

00:03:15.380 if there's a cover-up involved,

00:03:18.760 it has worked very well.

00:03:21.020 Were you expecting some kind of revelations to come out of the trial?

00:03:27.560 Nope.

00:03:29.120 Nope.

00:03:29.640 Apparently no revelations about any famous people

00:03:32.460 that we didn't already know about.

00:03:34.400 Okay?

00:03:35.460 And so people are wondering,

00:03:37.520 what kind of deal did Ghislaine Maxwell work with whoever 0.95

00:03:42.580 to not testify and not give up any names of famous people?

00:03:48.580 So apparently she is not, I would guess,

00:03:52.840 it looks like she's not given up any famous people

00:03:55.260 for, you know, leniency or anything like that.

00:03:58.440 As far as we know.

00:04:00.800 My guess is that she did negotiate,

00:04:03.060 but the best deal she could get was for a painless suicide

00:04:06.860 after she's in jail for a few weeks. 0.56

00:04:10.020 So she may have a suicide,

00:04:12.820 but she may have negotiated to make sure it's painless,

00:04:15.200 not so much the choking kind.

00:04:17.600 So we'll see.

00:04:19.120 Time will tell.

00:04:20.340 I'm going to guess drug overdose.

00:04:22.720 I'm going to go with drug overdose,

00:04:26.760 and nobody's going to know how those drugs got into there.

00:04:29.980 How did those drugs get into that jail? 0.99

00:04:32.100 Nobody knows.

00:04:33.260 She just went to sleep. 0.59

00:04:34.700 Didn't wake up.

00:04:36.260 I think that might be what's happening.

00:04:38.440 Well, over in California,

00:04:40.420 where everything woke turns to shit,

00:04:42.760 Gavin Newsom is joining,

00:04:45.440 I would say,

00:04:46.840 in effect,

00:04:48.440 joining London Breed,

00:04:49.880 the San Francisco mayor,

00:04:51.000 who's decided that maybe they should do something

00:04:52.940 with a little more law enforcement

00:04:54.920 to stop the wave of crime.

00:04:57.720 But Newsom is going to,

00:04:59.120 is proposed spending $300 million

00:05:01.720 to help law enforcement.

00:05:02.980 What?

00:05:04.080 Funding the police?

00:05:05.660 What?

00:05:06.140 California stepping up to fund those police

00:05:10.720 because it turns out that defunding the police

00:05:13.860 wasn't the brilliant idea that it seemed like at first.

00:05:18.100 Oh, sure.

00:05:18.840 On paper,

00:05:20.180 taking away all the incentives for criminals to not do crime,

00:05:24.640 that seemed like,

00:05:26.240 how could that go wrong?

00:05:28.020 But then in the real world,

00:05:29.340 you get this surprise,

00:05:30.460 and it didn't work out.

00:05:32.140 So California politicians

00:05:35.220 are trying to claw that back

00:05:36.680 before they all lose their jobs,

00:05:38.600 which they should.

00:05:40.120 And so Gavin is going to put this money

00:05:43.200 toward crackdowns on the smash-and-grabs,

00:05:46.500 which are believed to be organized crime rings.

00:05:50.800 So it looks like they'll be able to

00:05:52.860 RICO them or something. 1.00

00:05:55.200 But good for Governor Newsom.

00:05:57.240 Is he preparing for a run for president?

00:06:00.320 I'd be surprised if he doesn't.

00:06:03.120 I would put him as the most capable on that side.

00:06:10.360 We have lots to criticize him about,

00:06:14.180 but the gnat is,

00:06:15.660 I think he's their most capable person.

00:06:18.400 I don't know if a white male can win 1.00

00:06:20.260 for a Democrat side.

00:06:22.780 I mean, Biden won,

00:06:23.900 but wasn't he a special case?

00:06:25.940 Feels like he was a special case.

00:06:28.300 I don't know.

00:06:28.580 So CDC has come out with some new data,

00:06:33.660 and if you look at it carefully,

00:06:35.340 you will learn

00:06:35.960 that fentanyl is now

00:06:38.280 the number one cause of death

00:06:39.980 among Americans from 18 to 45.

00:06:43.080 Yes.

00:06:44.740 That is roughly one-third of the public.

00:06:50.220 Is that true?

00:06:51.360 Is that one-third of the public?

00:06:53.140 I'm just guessing.

00:06:54.240 From 18 to 45,

00:06:55.680 is that maybe a third?

00:06:56.720 Something like that.

00:07:00.740 So for one-third of the public

00:07:02.340 in that age group,

00:07:05.020 young adults,

00:07:06.520 number one cause of death.

00:07:08.000 It beat out car accidents and COVID.

00:07:10.920 No surprise there.

00:07:12.880 So naturally,

00:07:13.940 since it's the number one cause of death

00:07:15.740 for people who have the,

00:07:17.880 you know,

00:07:18.360 relatively long lifespan ahead of them,

00:07:20.560 except for that,

00:07:22.020 of course that means that

00:07:23.760 the administration,

00:07:25.000 the Biden administration,

00:07:25.920 is doing everything it can

00:07:27.360 to stop the flow of anything

00:07:31.040 across our southern border,

00:07:32.880 because if things were flowing

00:07:34.940 easily across the southern border,

00:07:37.620 that would certainly be

00:07:39.540 contributing to the biggest cause of death.

00:07:43.620 So let me check the news

00:07:45.300 and see that the Biden administration

00:07:46.980 has shut down the,

00:07:48.140 what?

00:07:50.000 All right,

00:07:50.580 Google again,

00:07:51.380 probably,

00:07:51.800 what?

00:07:52.740 Okay,

00:07:54.480 it certainly turns out

00:07:55.260 that the Biden administration

00:07:56.700 has pretty much opened up the border

00:07:58.360 to let the fentanyl in,

00:08:00.860 and then I think we're making that

00:08:04.460 a little bit worse in California

00:08:05.960 by letting people out

00:08:07.160 for any arrests.

00:08:10.840 So we're basically doing

00:08:12.760 every possible thing wrong

00:08:14.660 about fentanyl.

00:08:16.440 not only the way we treat

00:08:18.360 the people who are addicted,

00:08:20.160 but the way we don't

00:08:21.360 try to stop it from coming in.

00:08:23.820 As you know,

00:08:24.640 it's the precursors

00:08:25.940 that are created in China.

00:08:27.320 They do this clearly

00:08:28.500 as part of their,

00:08:29.420 you know,

00:08:30.140 total terror war

00:08:31.160 against the United States.

00:08:32.920 And then the Mexican cartels

00:08:35.820 buy that from Mexico

00:08:36.860 and then ship it into the country,

00:08:38.360 the United States,

00:08:39.180 and it's the biggest cause of death.

00:08:40.780 And we're doing

00:08:42.440 absolutely nothing

00:08:43.540 that works.

00:08:46.100 So we're doing

00:08:46.960 absolutely nothing

00:08:47.880 about our biggest problem.

00:08:52.320 What?

00:08:54.560 You know,

00:08:55.400 if Trump had not been

00:08:57.680 similarly completely useless

00:08:59.380 on fentanyl,

00:09:00.780 I mean,

00:09:01.040 I think he tried,

00:09:02.480 but in terms of success,

00:09:03.940 nope,

00:09:04.820 nothing,

00:09:05.560 not even a little bit.

00:09:06.640 And I think we should withdraw

00:09:09.940 all of our ambassadors

00:09:11.520 from China

00:09:12.200 until they stop

00:09:13.700 sending fentanyl

00:09:15.100 and we can confirm it.

00:09:17.560 Is that unreasonable?

00:09:19.340 To me,

00:09:20.000 that's just the most reasonable thing

00:09:21.520 in the world.

00:09:23.660 It would be a huge embarrassment

00:09:25.180 for China,

00:09:26.320 for the United States

00:09:27.040 to withdraw its ambassadors.

00:09:30.120 But I think you've got to

00:09:31.960 take this up a notch, right?

00:09:34.000 If you're losing a war,

00:09:35.420 you don't just keep doing

00:09:36.260 the same damn stuff

00:09:37.120 you were doing.

00:09:37.940 You've got to take it up a notch.

00:09:39.900 If we're going to

00:09:41.300 if we're going to

00:09:42.500 boycott,

00:09:44.040 at least diplomatically,

00:09:45.800 boycott the Olympics,

00:09:48.640 why do we even have

00:09:49.940 any diplomats there at all?

00:09:52.200 Like,

00:09:52.760 you know,

00:09:53.040 I get that we need to

00:09:53.940 have a continuous conversation,

00:09:55.780 but we could probably do that

00:09:56.820 without formal diplomats.

00:09:59.240 Right?

00:10:00.980 Because

00:10:01.380 I don't even know

00:10:02.080 why we're talking to them.

00:10:03.620 That should be the,

00:10:05.160 I would think,

00:10:05.940 the opening bid

00:10:07.220 for even having

00:10:08.280 a conversation

00:10:09.080 is stop killing us.

00:10:11.100 Stop killing us,

00:10:12.460 and then we'll

00:10:13.080 send some ambassadors over.

00:10:15.120 No, no,

00:10:15.540 we would like to kill

00:10:16.720 79,000 Americans a year

00:10:19.340 and act like it's not happening.

00:10:21.980 Just business as usual.

00:10:23.220 Just send your ambassadors over.

00:10:25.020 Just business as usual.

00:10:26.860 Fuck no.

00:10:28.400 We should withdraw

00:10:29.280 our ambassadors from China

00:10:30.880 right away.

00:10:31.860 And not even consider

00:10:34.740 going back

00:10:36.000 until the fentanyl deaths

00:10:37.260 in this country

00:10:37.840 go to,

00:10:38.640 you know,

00:10:39.020 almost nothing.

00:10:42.080 Now,

00:10:42.760 here's the funniest part

00:10:43.900 about the Olympics.

00:10:45.480 My understanding

00:10:46.520 is that

00:10:47.000 the reason

00:10:47.480 any country

00:10:48.200 would want to host

00:10:49.120 the Olympics

00:10:49.660 is,

00:10:51.220 in the comments,

00:10:52.440 what would be the reason

00:10:53.380 any country

00:10:54.120 would want to host

00:10:55.580 the Olympics?

00:10:56.960 The benefit

00:10:57.500 they would get from that

00:10:58.480 would be,

00:10:59.200 somebody says economic,

00:11:01.480 but I don't think it is,

00:11:02.260 actually.

00:11:03.000 I don't think it's economic.

00:11:03.960 I don't think it's tourism.

00:11:05.460 I'm not even sure

00:11:06.360 that the Olympics

00:11:07.580 pay for themselves.

00:11:09.260 I don't think it's economic.

00:11:11.360 I think it's prestige.

00:11:13.080 Yeah,

00:11:13.280 it's country branding,

00:11:15.040 it's nationalism,

00:11:17.140 it's patriotism

00:11:19.500 within the country,

00:11:21.060 et cetera,

00:11:21.560 propaganda,

00:11:22.460 et cetera.

00:11:23.220 So China is

00:11:24.460 thinking that

00:11:26.640 it's going to get

00:11:27.140 this big propaganda

00:11:28.440 brand benefit.

00:11:32.080 Boy,

00:11:32.540 did they get wrong.

00:11:34.160 I think

00:11:35.140 the Olympics

00:11:36.020 are going to turn

00:11:36.760 into a gigantic

00:11:38.100 PR nightmare

00:11:39.760 for China.

00:11:40.600 Am I wrong?

00:11:42.480 I don't know

00:11:43.380 that this could go

00:11:44.120 another way.

00:11:45.300 What will be

00:11:45.820 the American viewing

00:11:47.000 of the Olympics

00:11:48.440 on American TV,

00:11:50.320 which I understand

00:11:51.080 is the primary

00:11:52.580 financial source

00:11:53.680 for the Olympics

00:11:54.680 is American TV.

00:11:57.140 Who's going to watch

00:11:58.160 the Olympics

00:11:59.520 in China

00:12:00.100 on American TV?

00:12:02.280 I'm not.

00:12:03.960 I mean,

00:12:04.400 I'm going to

00:12:05.340 unplug my TV

00:12:06.280 so I don't accidentally

00:12:07.340 go past that jail.

00:12:10.300 Yeah.

00:12:10.840 So you have to assume

00:12:12.200 that the main

00:12:13.340 financial incentive

00:12:14.960 is going to

00:12:15.920 probably tank 30%

00:12:17.440 because conservatives

00:12:18.860 are just going to

00:12:19.520 bail out on this.

00:12:21.120 Or they should.

00:12:22.240 And everybody should,

00:12:23.300 really.

00:12:23.600 But I think

00:12:28.660 China has made 1.00

00:12:29.380 the biggest

00:12:29.980 branding mistake

00:12:31.060 anybody's ever made.

00:12:32.980 I mean,

00:12:33.200 at the time

00:12:33.660 they were negotiating

00:12:34.400 to get the Olympics,

00:12:35.380 it probably seemed

00:12:35.900 like a really good deal.

00:12:37.860 Really smart.

00:12:39.480 But now it's going

00:12:40.240 to be just

00:12:41.240 the biggest black eye.

00:12:42.780 Because all we'll

00:12:43.580 talk about is

00:12:44.460 China has the Olympics

00:12:45.380 and look at all

00:12:45.980 China's bad things 1.00

00:12:47.440 they're doing.

00:12:48.520 Those stories

00:12:49.300 are just going to

00:12:49.840 be paired now

00:12:50.540 all the time.

00:12:52.020 So the biggest,

00:12:53.340 I would say

00:12:53.900 China's making 1.00

00:12:54.480 the biggest

00:12:55.000 political mistake

00:12:57.440 that, I don't know,

00:12:58.840 maybe any country

00:12:59.600 has ever made.

00:13:00.340 It's pretty big.

00:13:04.620 Why are we

00:13:05.860 tolerating fentanyl,

00:13:07.360 the number one

00:13:07.980 cause of death

00:13:08.660 for Americans

00:13:09.400 between 18 and 45?

00:13:10.640 Let me tell you why.

00:13:13.180 Because it was gradual.

00:13:15.980 I mean,

00:13:16.300 it's picking up

00:13:17.140 speed at the moment.

00:13:18.960 But fentanyl started

00:13:20.180 as a thing

00:13:21.080 you hadn't heard of

00:13:22.200 and a thing

00:13:23.380 you heard of

00:13:23.840 once in a while

00:13:24.500 and then there

00:13:25.040 were some

00:13:25.320 high-profile people.

00:13:27.040 My stepson,

00:13:27.880 for example,

00:13:28.940 dying of overdoses.

00:13:30.540 And you think,

00:13:31.120 oh, anecdotes.

00:13:32.800 People die of overdoses

00:13:34.540 all the time.

00:13:35.620 And it just got

00:13:36.780 bigger and bigger.

00:13:38.200 It was just like

00:13:39.100 boiling the frog, right?

00:13:40.100 We just got used to it.

00:13:42.380 You can get used

00:13:43.000 to anything.

00:13:44.760 If the pandemic,

00:13:46.700 the coronavirus,

00:13:48.600 had come on

00:13:49.380 as slowly as fentanyl,

00:13:51.760 would we have

00:13:52.420 any restrictions

00:13:53.160 on our day-to-day life?

00:13:56.460 Exact same virus,

00:13:58.140 but let's say

00:13:58.760 it was just

00:13:59.920 a very slow growth

00:14:01.140 over, you know,

00:14:02.040 10 years.

00:14:04.120 We wouldn't even

00:14:04.960 do anything differently.

00:14:06.060 We just know

00:14:06.800 that a lot of people

00:14:07.460 were dying extra.

00:14:08.780 We'd just get used to it,

00:14:10.300 amazingly.

00:14:12.640 So that's what

00:14:13.400 happened with fentanyl.

00:14:14.120 All right.

00:14:16.920 Here's some fake news

00:14:18.320 from CNN.

00:14:19.440 Oh, yeah,

00:14:19.840 we'll talk about CNN.

00:14:21.540 There might be some

00:14:22.640 CNN-related stories

00:14:24.660 coming up,

00:14:25.180 if you know what I mean.

00:14:26.400 I think you do.

00:14:29.000 Oh, well,

00:14:29.600 we'll get to that

00:14:30.100 in a minute.

00:14:31.180 So here's the latest

00:14:32.320 on Omicron.

00:14:33.400 How many of you

00:14:34.020 believe Omicron

00:14:35.020 is milder?

00:14:37.440 How many think

00:14:38.140 Omicron is milder

00:14:39.820 than regular?

00:14:40.540 Well, it turns out

00:14:43.720 that's maybe wrong

00:14:45.440 according to

00:14:46.460 a study by

00:14:48.140 Imperial College

00:14:49.080 of London.

00:14:50.820 According to them,

00:14:51.840 the Omicron

00:14:52.460 is just as bad

00:14:54.020 in terms of

00:14:56.280 how sick

00:14:56.740 it'll make you.

00:14:58.440 Just as bad,

00:14:59.540 but it has a 5.4

00:15:00.860 fold higher risk

00:15:01.920 of reinfection.

00:15:04.140 In other words,

00:15:04.820 it's going to tear

00:15:05.880 through the vaccinations.

00:15:07.520 And the vaccinations

00:15:08.180 are apparently

00:15:08.860 way less effective

00:15:10.140 against Omicron,

00:15:12.420 and Omicron

00:15:13.200 is just as dangerous.

00:15:17.960 But,

00:15:18.720 does that make sense?

00:15:20.500 Because here's

00:15:21.200 what we've all

00:15:21.740 been seeing.

00:15:22.400 We've been seeing

00:15:22.980 evidence that

00:15:23.800 it's not dangerous,

00:15:24.820 right?

00:15:25.560 And of South Africa.

00:15:27.640 And I think

00:15:28.640 UK was reporting

00:15:29.780 that they weren't

00:15:30.460 seeing it.

00:15:31.740 They weren't noticing

00:15:32.820 the uptick in deaths

00:15:34.280 that you would expect.

00:15:35.160 here's what I think

00:15:38.780 might be happening.

00:15:40.780 It might be

00:15:41.720 just as dangerous,

00:15:43.060 but all the weak

00:15:43.820 people have already

00:15:44.540 died.

00:15:47.020 And the vaccinations

00:15:48.600 are working somewhat.

00:15:51.980 And I think

00:15:53.340 it might be nothing

00:15:54.160 but the weak people

00:15:55.600 who are already

00:15:56.040 infected or dead.

00:15:58.020 I think we've just

00:15:59.320 reduced the amount

00:16:01.340 of damage

00:16:01.920 the virus can do

00:16:03.080 by reducing

00:16:04.200 the number

00:16:04.660 of targets.

00:16:06.120 Am I wrong?

00:16:07.040 So I think

00:16:07.760 we may,

00:16:09.260 tentatively,

00:16:10.540 so this is not

00:16:11.240 a firm opinion,

00:16:12.420 but it looks like

00:16:13.140 we may have been

00:16:13.980 lulled,

00:16:14.720 as we often are,

00:16:16.080 by anecdotal

00:16:17.200 and poor

00:16:18.640 data quality reports.

00:16:21.020 If South Africa, 0.85

00:16:22.060 for example,

00:16:22.620 was not having

00:16:24.400 a big problem

00:16:25.020 with it,

00:16:27.060 how did they

00:16:27.660 really even know

00:16:28.340 who was dying

00:16:28.920 of Omicron

00:16:29.540 and who was dying

00:16:30.200 from something else?

00:16:31.840 Turns out

00:16:32.420 they don't really

00:16:33.240 test.

00:16:34.080 You know that,

00:16:34.540 right?

00:16:35.440 Somebody goes

00:16:36.080 into the hospital,

00:16:37.020 they've got a virus,

00:16:38.220 they just treat it

00:16:38.960 like a virus.

00:16:39.940 You know,

00:16:40.340 it's just one

00:16:41.380 of the coronaviruses.

00:16:42.960 So the hospital

00:16:44.120 doesn't know

00:16:44.600 who's dying

00:16:45.080 of Omicron.

00:16:46.700 Nobody's collecting

00:16:47.520 that data.

00:16:48.280 I'm not sure

00:16:48.760 we know anything

00:16:49.320 about Omicron.

00:16:50.340 But if you think

00:16:51.080 you know that

00:16:51.680 it's safer,

00:16:53.880 I changed my mind

00:16:55.460 today.

00:16:58.420 Until today,

00:16:59.420 I thought the

00:17:01.060 weight of information

00:17:02.180 was biased

00:17:03.400 toward this virus

00:17:05.260 is going to be

00:17:06.040 like a vaccine.

00:17:08.000 It might be.

00:17:09.320 I'm not ruling

00:17:10.080 that out yet.

00:17:11.180 But either

00:17:12.160 the news industry

00:17:13.480 has decided

00:17:14.200 to scare us

00:17:15.480 with some fake

00:17:16.980 data,

00:17:18.960 which is very

00:17:20.220 possible.

00:17:21.180 Very possible.

00:17:22.120 Completely within

00:17:22.820 the realm of

00:17:23.560 normal things

00:17:24.680 we've seen

00:17:25.140 in the last two years.

00:17:26.360 Just completely

00:17:27.140 making up

00:17:27.800 a bunch of data

00:17:28.520 to sell to the public

00:17:29.920 to get them

00:17:30.480 to conform.

00:17:31.700 Would that be unusual

00:17:32.620 in the last two years?

00:17:34.720 Nope.

00:17:35.720 They did it

00:17:36.360 with masks.

00:17:37.680 They lied to us

00:17:38.400 about masks

00:17:38.940 to get us

00:17:39.380 to act a certain way.

00:17:41.040 So we know

00:17:41.740 it can be done.

00:17:42.860 We know it's

00:17:43.400 within the ethical

00:17:44.280 toolbox

00:17:46.540 of who's in charge.

00:17:50.480 And by ethical,

00:17:51.860 that means

00:17:52.260 subjectively.

00:17:55.660 So at this point,

00:17:56.700 I'm going to go

00:17:57.600 50-50

00:17:58.560 that Omicron's

00:17:59.460 good news

00:17:59.960 versus bad news.

00:18:01.660 What do you think?

00:18:03.520 What do you think

00:18:04.300 are the odds

00:18:04.860 that Omicron

00:18:05.620 is really weak?

00:18:09.680 Because we are

00:18:10.400 getting both, right?

00:18:11.500 I think we're

00:18:12.280 simultaneously

00:18:12.900 getting two

00:18:13.880 completely different

00:18:15.360 messages.

00:18:15.980 One is that it's

00:18:16.700 weak and one is

00:18:17.400 that it's completely

00:18:18.120 the same as the

00:18:18.840 others.

00:18:19.060 Yeah, Imperial

00:18:27.980 College has some

00:18:28.880 issues, you're

00:18:29.600 saying.

00:18:30.320 I hear what you're

00:18:31.140 saying.

00:18:32.900 All right.

00:18:34.300 So I was

00:18:35.120 reading Chris

00:18:36.960 Eliza, an opinion

00:18:38.480 piece on CNN,

00:18:40.520 and he was saying

00:18:40.980 that he's getting

00:18:41.620 back that COVID

00:18:42.780 panic.

00:18:43.920 Are any of you?

00:18:44.760 How many of you

00:18:46.460 are feeling

00:18:47.220 sort of

00:18:47.860 flashbacks

00:18:50.100 or PTSD

00:18:50.980 from the

00:18:52.800 original months

00:18:53.960 of the pandemic?

00:18:55.900 I'm saying

00:18:56.840 nothing but

00:18:57.540 no's

00:18:58.080 on both

00:19:00.120 platforms.

00:19:01.660 Do you think

00:19:02.420 this is only

00:19:02.960 happening to

00:19:03.540 people who

00:19:04.160 are politically

00:19:05.140 leaning left?

00:19:07.420 Why is it that

00:19:08.700 nobody's panicked?

00:19:10.200 So the news

00:19:10.840 just told you

00:19:11.540 that you should

00:19:12.140 panic,

00:19:12.860 and none of you

00:19:13.460 are panicking?

00:19:13.940 Oh, damn,

00:19:16.820 you're good.

00:19:18.820 Well, I have

00:19:19.660 never been more

00:19:20.360 proud to be a

00:19:22.360 part of this,

00:19:23.200 whatever this is.

00:19:24.820 I have never

00:19:25.620 been more proud

00:19:26.420 to be associated

00:19:27.540 with all of you.

00:19:30.320 Because

00:19:30.800 you're good.

00:19:33.480 You're good.

00:19:35.080 That is

00:19:35.740 exactly the

00:19:37.560 correct answer.

00:19:38.220 And let me

00:19:38.520 tell you, I

00:19:39.060 had my security

00:19:40.940 blankie here in

00:19:41.720 case you gave

00:19:42.180 me the wrong

00:19:42.560 answer.

00:19:42.860 If you

00:19:44.460 needed some

00:19:45.080 swaddling,

00:19:46.080 I was going

00:19:46.900 to do it.

00:19:48.220 But apparently,

00:19:49.960 this crowd is

00:19:50.760 well beyond

00:19:51.760 the simultaneous

00:19:52.680 swaddle,

00:19:53.760 which was

00:19:54.340 essential in

00:19:55.780 the beginning

00:19:56.120 of the pandemic.

00:19:56.860 But now,

00:19:57.520 I think we're

00:19:58.260 a little bit

00:19:59.020 wiser and

00:20:00.560 tougher.

00:20:01.540 Are we wiser

00:20:02.440 or just tougher?

00:20:03.300 I feel like

00:20:05.180 we're tougher.

00:20:06.560 I don't know

00:20:07.380 if we're any

00:20:07.780 wiser, really,

00:20:09.000 honestly.

00:20:09.640 But I feel

00:20:11.620 like we're

00:20:11.960 tougher.

00:20:13.720 I think we

00:20:14.620 went from

00:20:15.360 hide, hide, 0.94

00:20:17.240 run away,

00:20:18.360 to, oh,

00:20:18.940 fuck it, 0.57

00:20:19.600 bring it on.

00:20:21.080 I mean, I

00:20:21.560 think intellectually,

00:20:23.420 we've all decided

00:20:24.820 that we're going to

00:20:25.480 go through it

00:20:26.240 and not around it.

00:20:27.240 Are you right?

00:20:29.080 I mean, my mind

00:20:30.280 is made up.

00:20:32.340 I'm going through

00:20:33.280 it.

00:20:34.420 And I'm not

00:20:35.160 going to run

00:20:35.480 away from it.

00:20:36.120 We're going

00:20:36.480 through it.

00:20:36.900 Now, I'll do

00:20:37.680 the usual

00:20:38.600 mitigation stuff

00:20:39.980 to postpone

00:20:40.920 it.

00:20:41.740 But, no,

00:20:43.480 it's game

00:20:43.900 on.

00:20:44.800 It's me

00:20:45.480 versus virus

00:20:46.480 now.

00:20:47.380 I'll get it

00:20:48.080 on my terms

00:20:48.920 as prepared

00:20:50.340 as I can

00:20:50.860 be.

00:20:51.240 I'd like that

00:20:51.860 new COVID

00:20:52.480 pill to be

00:20:53.040 available before

00:20:53.700 I get it.

00:20:55.580 But, no,

00:20:56.380 I'm going

00:20:56.940 after it now.

00:20:58.080 At this point,

00:20:58.860 avoiding it is

00:20:59.540 not even in

00:21:00.300 my mind.

00:21:02.480 All right.

00:21:02.800 So, CNN

00:21:06.260 has an

00:21:07.040 interesting

00:21:07.420 business model.

00:21:10.000 Apparently,

00:21:10.540 their business

00:21:10.960 model has

00:21:11.380 sort of evolved

00:21:12.160 into one

00:21:13.020 in which they

00:21:13.540 accidentally hire

00:21:14.460 sex criminals 0.84

00:21:15.180 to produce

00:21:15.840 fake news.

00:21:17.240 Now, on the

00:21:18.000 surface, you'd

00:21:18.620 say to yourself,

00:21:19.680 well, that

00:21:20.200 doesn't sound

00:21:20.680 like a startup

00:21:21.300 I would invest

00:21:22.340 in.

00:21:23.360 Here's my

00:21:23.820 elevator pitch.

00:21:24.840 We're going

00:21:25.100 to hire

00:21:25.440 mostly alleged

00:21:27.820 sex criminals. 0.55

00:21:29.800 By the way,

00:21:30.360 if you're not

00:21:30.940 aware, there was

00:21:31.540 yet another

00:21:32.140 breaking news

00:21:32.900 about, this

00:21:34.080 time, Jake

00:21:34.600 Tapper's

00:21:35.200 producer being

00:21:36.080 a pedo.

00:21:38.180 Alleged.

00:21:38.760 Alleged pedo.

00:21:40.000 So, that would

00:21:40.540 be two alleged

00:21:41.340 producer pedos

00:21:42.320 who were

00:21:42.600 working there

00:21:43.080 recently.

00:21:44.000 Then you got

00:21:44.500 Don Lemon's

00:21:45.420 allegations alleged.

00:21:47.620 You got

00:21:47.900 Chris Cuomo's

00:21:48.860 allegations alleged.

00:21:51.900 So, they got

00:21:53.920 issues.

00:21:54.920 And, by the

00:21:55.360 way, that's

00:21:56.920 the stuff you

00:21:57.440 know about.

00:21:58.820 Let me just

00:21:59.420 say that CNN

00:22:00.200 feels like the

00:22:01.780 VAERS database

00:22:03.380 of criminal

00:22:05.180 sexual activity.

00:22:07.160 You know what

00:22:07.520 I mean?

00:22:08.580 Yeah.

00:22:09.340 It is

00:22:10.080 anecdotal.

00:22:11.500 And it's based

00:22:12.060 on voluntary

00:22:12.820 reporting.

00:22:13.860 But one assumes

00:22:14.840 that the actual

00:22:15.640 number is five

00:22:16.840 times bigger than

00:22:17.940 the VAERS

00:22:18.380 database, if you

00:22:19.340 know what I

00:22:19.640 mean.

00:22:20.080 You know what

00:22:20.400 I mean?

00:22:20.940 You know what

00:22:21.260 I mean?

00:22:22.200 So, they got

00:22:24.480 issues.

00:22:26.340 But how will

00:22:27.180 they deal with

00:22:27.800 their PR nightmare?

00:22:28.640 Well, we saw

00:22:29.460 a little bit of

00:22:30.060 a preview of

00:22:30.660 that today.

00:22:32.920 They're trying

00:22:33.620 to shift the

00:22:34.240 focus, which

00:22:34.840 is good

00:22:35.200 strategy.

00:22:36.240 You know, if

00:22:36.600 there's a lot

00:22:37.020 of attention

00:22:37.500 that's negative,

00:22:38.620 you want to

00:22:39.080 shift the

00:22:39.560 focus.

00:22:41.160 And they're

00:22:41.760 trying to

00:22:42.080 shift their

00:22:42.440 focus to

00:22:42.940 Fox News,

00:22:43.700 good strategy,

00:22:44.840 good strategy,

00:22:45.560 a competitor.

00:22:46.020 And they're

00:22:47.340 attacking Fox

00:22:48.660 News for being

00:22:49.460 too protective

00:22:51.020 of Christmas.

00:22:52.360 So, on the

00:22:56.380 CNN side, it

00:22:57.500 appears to be

00:22:58.400 a cesspool

00:23:00.580 that was

00:23:01.100 designed to

00:23:01.800 breed sexual

00:23:02.780 criminals.

00:23:04.100 But they're

00:23:04.940 diverting you

00:23:05.560 from that by

00:23:06.240 saying that

00:23:06.620 Fox News is

00:23:07.440 a little too

00:23:08.400 protective of

00:23:09.100 Christmas.

00:23:10.440 A little too

00:23:10.960 protective of

00:23:11.580 Christmas.

00:23:14.660 Two things

00:23:15.700 roughly equal.

00:23:19.080 You know,

00:23:19.600 roughly.

00:23:20.660 Cesspool of

00:23:21.920 breeding fake

00:23:22.900 news and

00:23:23.700 sexual

00:23:24.280 criminals.

00:23:25.300 Some of

00:23:25.800 them sexual 0.83

00:23:26.380 criminals against

00:23:27.120 children.

00:23:28.480 That's bad.

00:23:29.680 But then also

00:23:30.600 being overly

00:23:31.480 protective about

00:23:32.580 Christmas.

00:23:34.280 Well, that's a

00:23:34.860 crime in itself.

00:23:36.380 So, I mean,

00:23:36.760 you can judge

00:23:37.280 them, but to

00:23:38.280 me, those seem

00:23:38.900 very, very

00:23:39.720 similar.

00:23:41.540 Protecting a

00:23:42.260 valuable American

00:23:43.260 tradition.

00:23:45.120 Sex crimes.

00:23:47.500 All right.

00:23:48.160 Speaking of

00:23:48.880 CNN and

00:23:49.520 this fake

00:23:50.060 news, here's

00:23:50.820 their fake

00:23:51.240 news of the

00:23:51.700 day.

00:23:53.260 Fake news

00:23:54.300 of the

00:23:54.580 day.

00:23:55.940 Let me

00:23:56.360 tell you how

00:23:56.960 CNN characterized

00:23:58.660 President Trump's

00:23:59.760 quotes, and

00:24:00.960 then I'll tell

00:24:01.520 you how they

00:24:02.160 Rupard them. 0.97

00:24:03.840 Yes, Rupard.

00:24:05.220 Taking them

00:24:05.800 out of context

00:24:06.540 or removing

00:24:07.240 some part of

00:24:08.180 what somebody

00:24:08.720 said to

00:24:09.840 reverse its

00:24:10.780 meaning.

00:24:12.160 Reverse its

00:24:12.900 meaning.

00:24:19.160 Matt Shaw

00:24:19.920 says, I bet

00:24:20.580 Jeff Zucker

00:24:21.240 thinks Brian

00:24:22.480 Stelter is a

00:24:23.260 loser because

00:24:23.880 he's failed to

00:24:24.880 sexually assault

00:24:25.720 anyone.

00:24:28.260 Including his

00:24:29.000 wife, if you 1.00

00:24:29.600 know what I

00:24:29.960 mean.

00:24:30.300 No, just

00:24:30.780 joking.

00:24:31.120 I don't like to

00:24:32.380 pile on the

00:24:33.820 Brian Stelter

00:24:35.420 stuff.

00:24:38.660 Although, you

00:24:39.660 know, I'm amused

00:24:40.400 at the back and

00:24:41.080 forth between the

00:24:41.880 Fox News and the

00:24:42.820 CNN stuff.

00:24:43.820 When they do it,

00:24:44.620 it's funny.

00:24:45.620 When Fox News

00:24:46.560 makes fun of CNN

00:24:47.360 and vice

00:24:47.940 versa, I

00:24:49.220 always think

00:24:49.600 that's

00:24:49.880 entertaining.

00:24:51.200 But when the

00:24:51.980 public jumps on

00:24:52.960 and we just

00:24:53.400 start calling

00:24:54.020 Brian Stelter

00:24:55.100 fat, I'm not

00:24:57.860 really on that

00:24:59.140 train.

00:25:02.020 I don't do

00:25:04.020 fat shaming.

00:25:06.080 So, you

00:25:07.220 know, because

00:25:07.900 it's a health

00:25:08.680 issue and nobody

00:25:09.620 chooses to be

00:25:10.360 fat.

00:25:10.880 Or I guess

00:25:11.340 some people do.

00:25:12.240 But, you

00:25:13.300 know, I'm

00:25:13.960 sure that he's

00:25:15.500 not any happier

00:25:16.160 about it than

00:25:16.740 you are.

00:25:17.400 So, anyway,

00:25:20.560 what was I

00:25:22.280 saying?

00:25:22.560 Oh, here's the

00:25:22.960 fake news on

00:25:23.640 President Trump.

00:25:25.360 So, here's what

00:25:26.180 CNN characterized

00:25:27.340 what he said.

00:25:28.880 So, here's their

00:25:29.380 characterization of

00:25:30.480 it.

00:25:30.760 See how bad this

00:25:31.480 sounds.

00:25:32.360 Former President

00:25:33.080 Donald Trump in a

00:25:33.800 newly released

00:25:34.400 interview claimed

00:25:35.640 that Jewish

00:25:36.800 Americans, quote,

00:25:38.760 either don't like

00:25:39.840 Israel or don't 0.99

00:25:41.240 care about Israel,

00:25:42.940 unquote, while

00:25:44.160 also suggesting

00:25:45.020 that evangelical

00:25:46.440 Christians, quote,

00:25:48.120 love Israel more

00:25:49.760 than the Jews in 0.98

00:25:50.700 this country.

00:25:51.840 Whoa, whoa.

00:25:53.160 Wow.

00:25:54.200 That's some

00:25:54.620 anti-Semitic

00:25:55.800 troping there.

00:25:57.240 Whew.

00:25:58.160 Wow.

00:25:58.480 The president

00:25:59.640 seeming to suggest

00:26:00.860 that all Jews

00:26:02.820 are alike,

00:26:04.140 which is bad

00:26:04.860 enough, and

00:26:05.940 then claiming

00:26:06.360 that they don't

00:26:07.560 care or like

00:26:08.380 Israel.

00:26:08.940 Ugh.

00:26:09.280 God, what an

00:26:10.620 ugly, ugly 0.50

00:26:11.580 anti-Semitic

00:26:13.020 statement from

00:26:14.640 the father of

00:26:15.700 a Jewish woman

00:26:16.560 and grandfather

00:26:17.860 of Jewish

00:26:18.400 children and

00:26:19.180 beloved Jewish

00:26:20.640 grandson.

00:26:22.100 So, a horrible

00:26:23.080 thing that the

00:26:23.680 president said.

00:26:24.640 Or did he?

00:26:26.100 Or did he say

00:26:27.000 that?

00:26:28.320 Well, these are

00:26:29.180 exact correct

00:26:30.240 quotes.

00:26:31.120 But they are a

00:26:32.180 little bit

00:26:32.560 rupard, meaning

00:26:33.880 they left

00:26:34.580 something out.

00:26:35.960 What did they

00:26:36.680 leave out?

00:26:37.280 Well, they

00:26:39.000 did include it,

00:26:39.960 to be fair, in

00:26:41.320 the same article

00:26:42.000 where they leave

00:26:42.720 it out in the

00:26:43.300 front of the

00:26:43.800 story.

00:26:44.700 You know, the

00:26:45.200 only part anybody

00:26:45.920 reads, the

00:26:46.800 front of the

00:26:47.280 story.

00:26:48.000 You've got to

00:26:48.580 go way down,

00:26:49.720 way down into

00:26:50.580 the guts of it.

00:26:51.900 But if you can

00:26:52.540 stick with it,

00:26:53.940 you'll find that

00:26:54.900 this additional

00:26:56.020 priming quote

00:26:57.640 comes before what

00:26:59.180 President Trump

00:26:59.820 said.

00:27:00.920 Quote,

00:27:01.440 it's a very

00:27:02.180 dangerous thing

00:27:03.140 that's happening.

00:27:04.360 In other words,

00:27:05.700 he disapproves

00:27:06.880 of anybody

00:27:07.860 being anti-Israel,

00:27:09.600 no matter who

00:27:10.220 they are.

00:27:11.280 Right?

00:27:12.380 No matter who

00:27:13.240 they are.

00:27:14.060 It's a dangerous

00:27:14.700 thing.

00:27:15.820 And he says,

00:27:17.520 as he claimed

00:27:20.300 that Jewish

00:27:20.920 Americans have 0.78

00:27:21.760 turned their

00:27:22.220 back on Israel.

00:27:23.660 Now, he goes

00:27:24.660 on, quote,

00:27:26.040 there's people

00:27:26.620 in this country

00:27:27.220 that are Jewish

00:27:28.340 and no longer

00:27:29.160 love Israel.

00:27:30.500 Trump said,

00:27:31.520 I'll tell you,

00:27:32.260 the evangelical

00:27:33.580 Christians love

00:27:34.620 Israel more than 0.99

00:27:35.420 the Jews in this

00:27:36.180 country.

00:27:36.980 First of all,

00:27:37.700 let's fact check

00:27:38.340 that.

00:27:39.880 Fact check it.

00:27:41.100 Do the

00:27:41.640 evangelical

00:27:42.400 Christians love

00:27:43.760 Israel more than 0.99

00:27:44.640 the Jews in this

00:27:45.540 country?

00:27:46.400 True or false?

00:27:50.240 Well,

00:27:51.140 my understanding

00:27:52.540 is that for the

00:27:53.820 evangelical

00:27:54.460 Christians,

00:27:55.960 their support of

00:27:57.640 Israel is baked 1.00

00:27:58.820 into the religion,

00:27:59.720 right?

00:28:00.700 It's just part of

00:28:01.560 the religion.

00:28:01.960 So I would say

00:28:03.120 that the

00:28:03.440 evangelicals are 1.00

00:28:04.580 probably pretty

00:28:05.480 unified in their

00:28:07.380 support of Israel.

00:28:10.060 Now, could you

00:28:11.240 expect someone

00:28:13.020 who does not

00:28:13.740 have it as their

00:28:14.700 religious prime

00:28:16.680 thing that they

00:28:18.100 would have a

00:28:19.400 unified opinion

00:28:20.180 about anything?

00:28:22.080 Since when

00:28:22.980 does anybody

00:28:24.000 expect American

00:28:25.000 Jews to all be

00:28:25.840 on the same

00:28:26.260 side about

00:28:26.700 anything except

00:28:27.280 maybe the

00:28:27.940 Holocaust? 0.83

00:28:28.200 I mean,

00:28:30.000 isn't every

00:28:30.940 group of people

00:28:31.680 full of different

00:28:32.520 people?

00:28:33.220 Have we learned

00:28:33.920 nothing?

00:28:35.020 It's like nobody

00:28:35.880 has the same

00:28:36.380 opinion except

00:28:37.260 the Holocaust. 0.58

00:28:40.480 So I would

00:28:42.360 say that this

00:28:42.940 is just a

00:28:43.500 perfectly true

00:28:44.340 statement,

00:28:45.320 but it's a

00:28:46.220 weird comparison

00:28:47.000 because the

00:28:47.920 evangelicals are 1.00

00:28:48.920 probably close to

00:28:49.600 100% support.

00:28:50.620 It's just a weird

00:28:51.320 odd situation

00:28:52.760 that that exists,

00:28:53.720 but I think it

00:28:54.120 does exist.

00:28:55.520 I think it's

00:28:55.900 true.

00:28:56.700 You would expect

00:28:57.600 that just like

00:28:58.580 Americans,

00:28:59.700 some criticize

00:29:00.980 the country,

00:29:01.780 some love it.

00:29:03.160 I mean,

00:29:03.460 people are all

00:29:04.060 over.

00:29:04.340 So why wouldn't

00:29:04.900 American Jews

00:29:05.520 have different

00:29:05.960 opinions about

00:29:06.660 what Israel is

00:29:08.040 doing at any

00:29:08.620 given moment?

00:29:10.040 So when Trump

00:29:11.400 says it's a

00:29:11.940 very dangerous

00:29:12.520 thing, he's

00:29:13.160 basically saying

00:29:13.900 he wishes that

00:29:14.840 American Jews

00:29:17.080 and presumably

00:29:18.260 everybody else

00:29:19.020 loved Israel

00:29:20.280 as much as

00:29:20.940 he does.

00:29:22.480 So that's

00:29:24.520 his anti-Semitic

00:29:25.580 thing, that he

00:29:26.840 wishes that

00:29:27.580 even the

00:29:28.800 American Jews

00:29:30.460 were as

00:29:31.280 supportive of

00:29:31.880 Israel as

00:29:32.380 he is.

00:29:33.840 That's

00:29:34.360 anti-Semitic?

00:29:35.900 Are you

00:29:36.540 kidding?

00:29:37.700 That's not

00:29:38.340 even close.

00:29:39.640 That's like

00:29:40.000 literally the

00:29:40.580 opposite.

00:29:41.060 He's trying to

00:29:41.500 figure out,

00:29:42.140 you know,

00:29:42.880 how can we

00:29:43.600 get them all

00:29:44.140 on the same

00:29:44.500 team?

00:29:46.820 CNN.

00:29:48.100 So funny.

00:29:48.920 I wonder

00:29:50.180 what happens

00:29:50.880 during the

00:29:51.340 holidays when

00:29:52.760 one of the

00:29:53.600 CNN producers

00:29:55.300 officers who

00:29:56.440 has not been

00:29:57.300 accused of

00:29:57.820 any heinous

00:29:58.340 crimes.

00:29:59.420 What happens

00:30:00.100 when they

00:30:00.420 meet like

00:30:00.860 the in-laws

00:30:01.380 for the

00:30:01.720 first time?

00:30:02.580 Or, you

00:30:02.920 know, the

00:30:03.220 other side

00:30:03.640 of the

00:30:03.800 family?

00:30:05.000 Do they

00:30:05.340 lie about

00:30:05.800 what they

00:30:06.060 do for a

00:30:06.480 living?

00:30:07.640 Hey, nice

00:30:08.840 to meet you.

00:30:09.360 What do you

00:30:09.820 do for a

00:30:10.220 living?

00:30:10.800 Where do you

00:30:11.140 work?

00:30:12.400 I work in

00:30:13.280 the information

00:30:14.120 field.

00:30:15.800 Really?

00:30:16.360 Really?

00:30:16.680 Who do you

00:30:17.200 work for?

00:30:18.140 Oh, I work

00:30:18.640 for a big

00:30:20.240 media company.

00:30:22.000 Really?

00:30:22.700 Really?

00:30:23.500 Big media

00:30:24.100 company.

00:30:25.200 Which one?

00:30:26.360 Oh, it's a

00:30:27.120 what do you

00:30:28.460 do for a

00:30:28.820 living?

00:30:29.720 Looks like

00:30:30.120 it's snowing

00:30:30.540 outside.

00:30:31.820 Merry Christmas.

00:30:33.340 I've got to

00:30:33.880 fill my

00:30:34.160 drink.

00:30:35.360 I feel like

00:30:35.960 it's going to

00:30:36.280 go that

00:30:36.580 way.

00:30:38.900 All right.

00:30:40.140 Sam Harris,

00:30:41.260 as you know,

00:30:42.940 no fan of

00:30:44.360 President Trump,

00:30:45.260 but if you

00:30:45.780 take that away

00:30:46.460 from him,

00:30:47.900 one of the

00:30:48.440 most rational

00:30:49.060 people in the

00:30:50.700 country.

00:30:50.980 I know,

00:30:52.360 I know,

00:30:52.700 you don't

00:30:52.920 like his

00:30:53.240 politics.

00:30:53.760 He did

00:30:54.100 suffer from

00:30:54.760 TDS.

00:30:55.980 Many of us

00:30:56.560 believe.

00:30:57.780 I think he's

00:30:58.340 even said the

00:30:58.880 same.

00:31:00.040 But if you

00:31:00.800 take politics

00:31:01.820 out of it

00:31:02.320 and just say,

00:31:03.820 hey, Sam,

00:31:04.840 can you tell

00:31:06.260 us what's

00:31:06.660 rational and

00:31:07.280 what isn't?

00:31:07.840 Well, he

00:31:08.160 would be the

00:31:08.500 best.

00:31:09.760 One of the

00:31:10.380 best in the

00:31:10.840 country for

00:31:11.840 telling you

00:31:12.220 what's rational

00:31:12.800 and what's

00:31:13.220 not.

00:31:15.620 He's

00:31:16.060 recommending

00:31:17.720 that we

00:31:18.100 look at a

00:31:18.800 video by

00:31:20.460 ZDogg,

00:31:21.520 MD,

00:31:22.100 who you

00:31:22.480 should all

00:31:22.760 be following,

00:31:23.320 by the way.

00:31:24.020 Follow him

00:31:24.340 on Twitter,

00:31:24.920 but especially

00:31:25.460 on Locals.

00:31:26.720 He's on

00:31:27.080 Locals as

00:31:27.640 well.

00:31:28.580 And ZDogg

00:31:29.320 is an MD,

00:31:30.920 but he

00:31:31.660 sort of

00:31:32.120 specializes in

00:31:33.040 helping people

00:31:33.840 think about

00:31:35.680 these topics.

00:31:37.400 In much the

00:31:38.280 way I do,

00:31:38.920 but with

00:31:39.560 more

00:31:39.980 qualifications.

00:31:41.780 I try to

00:31:42.540 help you

00:31:42.980 rationally

00:31:43.820 look at

00:31:45.060 the news.

00:31:45.780 He does

00:31:46.300 something like

00:31:47.740 that, but

00:31:48.160 better because

00:31:48.820 he's an

00:31:49.880 actual

00:31:50.140 doctor.

00:31:54.700 Peter

00:31:55.220 McCullough,

00:31:56.440 which some

00:31:57.100 people have

00:31:57.600 criticized the

00:31:58.340 takedown of

00:31:59.180 maybe claiming,

00:32:01.920 maybe misrepresenting

00:32:03.520 what McCullough

00:32:04.280 said or

00:32:05.540 overrepresenting

00:32:06.540 it before

00:32:07.980 commenting about

00:32:10.000 it.

00:32:10.660 And I think

00:32:11.120 there's a little

00:32:11.560 bit of that

00:32:11.900 going on.

00:32:12.480 But I

00:32:13.180 refer you to

00:32:14.200 it so you

00:32:14.720 can look at

00:32:15.940 it.

00:32:16.100 Now,

00:32:16.740 as far as

00:32:17.600 I know,

00:32:18.120 the only

00:32:18.400 places that

00:32:19.220 I disagree

00:32:21.160 with Dr.

00:32:22.700 McCullough,

00:32:23.620 because there's

00:32:24.240 a whole bunch

00:32:24.620 of stuff he

00:32:25.340 says that

00:32:26.460 looks perfectly

00:32:27.280 reasonable to

00:32:28.480 me.

00:32:30.340 So I would

00:32:31.080 say everything

00:32:32.900 I heard,

00:32:34.220 except for the

00:32:34.880 few exceptions

00:32:35.420 I'll talk about,

00:32:36.580 sounded pretty

00:32:37.080 reasonable.

00:32:38.020 My exception

00:32:38.940 is that

00:32:39.620 I think he's

00:32:44.640 not good at

00:32:45.540 evaluating data.

00:32:47.640 So when he

00:32:48.100 says that some

00:32:48.880 countries have

00:32:50.120 good experience

00:32:50.840 with ivermectin,

00:32:51.700 that's just

00:32:52.060 false.

00:32:53.480 My understanding

00:32:54.240 is that there's

00:32:54.940 no evidence of

00:32:55.680 any country who

00:32:56.680 had any success

00:32:57.840 with ivermectin.

00:32:59.680 So one of his

00:33:00.840 biggest claims

00:33:01.560 based on data,

00:33:02.560 I think,

00:33:03.180 is credibly

00:33:05.480 falsified.

00:33:06.260 And so then

00:33:07.160 you have to

00:33:07.540 say to yourself,

00:33:08.040 all right,

00:33:08.460 but what does

00:33:08.820 that say about

00:33:09.300 the rest of

00:33:09.740 the things he

00:33:10.200 says?

00:33:15.680 So what

00:33:17.140 about the

00:33:17.440 rest of it?

00:33:18.100 Now, of course,

00:33:18.660 if you get

00:33:18.980 some big thing

00:33:19.800 wrong, that

00:33:21.280 should make the

00:33:22.000 observer say,

00:33:22.700 okay, if

00:33:23.940 something big

00:33:24.640 got wrong,

00:33:26.120 yeah.

00:33:26.560 Those of you

00:33:27.240 who are naming

00:33:28.100 countries, those

00:33:28.900 have all been

00:33:29.440 debunked.

00:33:30.440 You can just

00:33:30.960 Google it.

00:33:31.960 Just Google,

00:33:32.920 you know, did

00:33:33.460 this country,

00:33:34.420 whichever country

00:33:35.060 you think had a

00:33:35.620 good experience.

00:33:36.620 Say, did they

00:33:37.320 have a good

00:33:37.760 experience with

00:33:38.540 ivermectin or

00:33:39.560 some Google

00:33:40.240 term like that?

00:33:41.500 You'll see all

00:33:42.080 the debunks.

00:33:42.920 They'll pop right

00:33:43.400 up.

00:33:44.280 There's no data

00:33:44.880 to support any

00:33:45.520 of that.

00:33:46.600 So, but people

00:33:47.780 think there is.

00:33:48.520 You just look

00:33:49.000 for it and you

00:33:49.420 find it doesn't

00:33:50.120 exist.

00:33:51.380 So, or it's

00:33:53.060 explained in some

00:33:54.280 other obvious

00:33:54.960 ways.

00:33:57.040 So we got that.

00:33:58.300 But in terms

00:33:59.180 of, and I'd

00:34:00.160 like to say

00:34:00.540 again that I

00:34:01.080 think the good

00:34:01.740 doctor is on

00:34:02.560 the, Dr.

00:34:03.800 McCullough is on

00:34:05.020 the side of the

00:34:06.020 angels in terms

00:34:07.700 of, as far as

00:34:09.020 I can tell,

00:34:09.900 we can't read

00:34:10.580 minds, but

00:34:11.620 everything about

00:34:12.300 him screams

00:34:13.080 wanting to

00:34:13.760 help.

00:34:15.000 You would

00:34:15.660 agree with

00:34:16.000 that, right?

00:34:17.740 That highly

00:34:18.760 qualified and

00:34:20.880 looking like he's

00:34:22.380 working tirelessly

00:34:23.860 trying to help.

00:34:25.480 Would you all

00:34:25.920 agree with that?

00:34:26.380 I'm seeing

00:34:28.600 suggestions that if

00:34:29.480 you use duck

00:34:30.060 duck go, you 0.99

00:34:30.700 might find more

00:34:31.420 debunks of

00:34:32.120 stuff.

00:34:33.540 So try it

00:34:34.340 both.

00:34:38.620 What's that

00:34:39.200 say?

00:34:42.620 Okay, I don't

00:34:43.340 understand that

00:34:43.880 comment.

00:34:45.120 So here's the

00:34:46.800 other thing that

00:34:47.480 I have a problem

00:34:49.160 with.

00:34:49.440 So Dr.

00:34:50.340 McCullough talked

00:34:51.360 about some

00:34:52.180 other experts'

00:34:53.800 concept of mass

00:34:55.400 formation psychosis.

00:34:57.220 How many of you

00:34:57.900 heard that argument?

00:34:59.440 That we're

00:34:59.900 experiencing a

00:35:01.020 mass formation

00:35:02.660 psychosis.

00:35:04.380 And the idea is

00:35:05.580 that much like

00:35:07.000 what would explain

00:35:08.480 the rise of Nazi 0.64

00:35:09.720 Germany, that if a 0.89

00:35:11.880 certain set of

00:35:12.860 situations are in

00:35:13.960 place, you end up

00:35:16.380 where we are.

00:35:18.760 And a lot of

00:35:19.560 people have been

00:35:20.400 promoting that as

00:35:22.400 a very smart

00:35:23.300 representation of

00:35:26.240 what's happened and

00:35:27.240 a good filter to

00:35:28.340 understand everything.

00:35:30.040 My opinion is it's

00:35:31.400 complete bullshit.

00:35:33.960 Okay?

00:35:34.640 And this is sort of

00:35:35.960 my area.

00:35:37.500 You know, as I say

00:35:38.640 too often, I'm a

00:35:39.500 trained hypnotist.

00:35:40.960 I've been studying

00:35:41.660 persuasion all my

00:35:42.540 life.

00:35:42.900 I write about

00:35:43.320 persuasion all the

00:35:44.080 time.

00:35:44.840 So in terms of

00:35:45.760 people who are

00:35:47.020 hypnotists and

00:35:48.700 trained in

00:35:49.460 persuasion, I'm

00:35:50.980 not so sure they

00:35:51.980 see it this way.

00:35:53.180 But I can't speak

00:35:54.120 for anybody else.

00:35:54.760 I'll just talk

00:35:55.200 about myself.

00:35:56.860 Here's the

00:35:57.620 assumption that

00:35:58.780 is wrong with

00:35:59.920 mass formation

00:36:00.780 psychosis.

00:36:02.900 The assumption

00:36:03.780 is, it's sort of

00:36:04.560 built into it,

00:36:05.960 that people are

00:36:06.700 sort of mostly

00:36:07.480 rational under

00:36:09.260 the right side of

00:36:09.960 circumstances.

00:36:11.280 But if those

00:36:12.300 circumstances change,

00:36:13.980 and we'll talk

00:36:14.460 about what that

00:36:15.000 change is,

00:36:15.760 those rational

00:36:16.860 people can be

00:36:17.980 nudged into a

00:36:19.480 mass formation

00:36:21.020 psychosis.

00:36:21.940 In other words,

00:36:22.380 they'll start

00:36:22.900 having delusions

00:36:24.620 that they believe

00:36:25.900 are true.

00:36:27.980 Here's where that

00:36:28.980 assumption is

00:36:29.640 completely wrong.

00:36:31.440 It imagines we

00:36:32.380 were ever rational

00:36:33.380 and then something

00:36:34.300 changed.

00:36:36.840 Let me tell you

00:36:38.000 what every hypnotist

00:36:39.040 learns during the

00:36:41.220 process.

00:36:42.040 Nobody's rational.

00:36:43.080 We rationalize

00:36:43.800 things after we

00:36:44.860 make decisions.

00:36:45.760 Now, the minor

00:36:47.180 exceptions are

00:36:48.080 physics and math

00:36:50.000 and balancing

00:36:50.780 your checkbook.

00:36:52.220 If you're doing

00:36:52.900 really narrow,

00:36:54.200 limited things

00:36:55.820 that are just

00:36:56.660 math, then yeah,

00:36:57.980 we're rational

00:36:58.760 about that.

00:36:59.940 But as soon as we

00:37:00.880 try to understand

00:37:01.660 the world,

00:37:03.420 no.

00:37:04.560 No.

00:37:05.480 We're not

00:37:05.880 rational about that.

00:37:06.720 We can't even

00:37:07.280 understand our

00:37:07.880 relationships.

00:37:09.220 We don't even know

00:37:10.040 what our spouse is

00:37:10.900 thinking half the

00:37:11.680 time.

00:37:11.920 We are so far away

00:37:13.780 from being a

00:37:14.360 rational species

00:37:15.260 that to imagine

00:37:16.520 something happened

00:37:17.780 to us, oh, we

00:37:19.860 were going along

00:37:20.500 pretty great for a

00:37:21.420 while.

00:37:22.180 We had a good run

00:37:23.080 of 100,000 years

00:37:24.180 of being rational,

00:37:25.100 but suddenly,

00:37:26.820 suddenly the pandemic

00:37:28.500 made us all

00:37:29.360 irrational.

00:37:30.680 Is that what

00:37:31.440 happened?

00:37:32.640 Here's the problem.

00:37:33.700 It's very true

00:37:37.020 like, and as a

00:37:39.280 filter, it might 0.98

00:37:40.940 even be successful

00:37:41.920 in predicting some

00:37:43.060 stuff, but I'm

00:37:44.040 going to give you

00:37:44.440 a better one in a

00:37:46.080 minute.

00:37:47.000 So I'll walk

00:37:47.940 through some of

00:37:48.460 the assumptions

00:37:49.320 that go into

00:37:50.000 mass formation

00:37:50.880 psychosis, and

00:37:52.100 let's see how

00:37:52.600 many of these

00:37:53.300 apply.

00:37:54.240 Oh, before I do

00:37:54.960 that, here's the

00:37:56.280 other tell that

00:37:57.000 it's bullshit.

00:37:58.940 If you didn't

00:37:59.760 catch this one,

00:38:01.500 you should feel

00:38:02.140 ashamed of yourself.

00:38:03.700 If you read

00:38:05.160 about the

00:38:05.560 mass formation

00:38:07.040 hysteria idea,

00:38:08.660 and you didn't

00:38:09.240 catch this obvious

00:38:10.820 tell that the

00:38:12.320 whole thing is

00:38:12.860 bullshit, you

00:38:14.560 should feel bad

00:38:15.240 for yourself when

00:38:15.860 I tell you what

00:38:16.360 it is.

00:38:18.440 The biggest

00:38:19.720 part of this is

00:38:20.460 it's being

00:38:20.800 compared to Nazi

00:38:22.020 Germany and

00:38:22.700 Hitler. 0.57

00:38:24.040 Are we done?

00:38:25.860 Are we done

00:38:26.680 here?

00:38:27.560 That's all you

00:38:28.260 have to know.

00:38:29.400 If I just told

00:38:30.080 you one thing,

00:38:31.100 hey, there's

00:38:31.480 somebody who's

00:38:32.000 got a theory

00:38:32.800 of why we're

00:38:34.480 drifting into a

00:38:35.380 Hitler-like 0.97

00:38:35.920 situation.

00:38:38.100 That's all you

00:38:38.800 know.

00:38:39.080 You don't even

00:38:39.460 know what the

00:38:39.760 theory is.

00:38:41.100 Do you believe

00:38:41.620 it?

00:38:42.500 No, the answer

00:38:43.060 is you shouldn't

00:38:43.840 because that's a

00:38:44.960 gigantic flag that

00:38:46.040 is bullshit.

00:38:47.220 In other words,

00:38:47.860 it's a gigantic

00:38:48.540 flag that somebody

00:38:49.440 is reasoning

00:38:49.960 backwards.

00:38:51.640 They're saying,

00:38:52.360 hey, we're

00:38:52.760 drifting into a

00:38:53.800 dictatorship.

00:38:54.320 Let me come up

00:38:55.820 with a theory

00:38:56.420 that explains it.

00:38:57.920 It looks like

00:38:58.720 backward reasoning.

00:39:00.140 Do you know

00:39:00.640 why I say

00:39:01.120 it's backward 0.88

00:39:01.600 reasoning?

00:39:02.520 Because it

00:39:02.880 all is.

00:39:04.020 All of our

00:39:04.780 reasoning is

00:39:05.240 backwards.

00:39:05.680 We just don't

00:39:06.120 know it.

00:39:07.100 We feel like

00:39:07.860 we made

00:39:08.220 decisions and

00:39:08.980 then acted

00:39:09.580 on them.

00:39:10.360 We can prove

00:39:11.320 that that

00:39:11.720 doesn't happen.

00:39:12.940 We can actually

00:39:13.440 find that the

00:39:14.200 decision-making

00:39:15.040 part of the

00:39:15.420 brain doesn't 0.65

00:39:15.860 get involved

00:39:16.540 until decisions

00:39:17.620 are made.

00:39:20.080 Here's what

00:39:20.980 the claim is

00:39:22.100 for mass

00:39:22.460 formation

00:39:22.820 psychosis.

00:39:23.660 You should

00:39:23.980 know about

00:39:24.440 it because

00:39:25.220 there's something

00:39:26.520 to learn here.

00:39:27.500 Number one,

00:39:28.180 of the four

00:39:29.220 things that

00:39:29.720 could cause

00:39:30.140 that situation,

00:39:31.360 a lack of

00:39:31.960 social bonding,

00:39:33.520 social isolation,

00:39:34.700 and we would

00:39:35.560 agree that

00:39:35.980 there's more

00:39:36.600 social isolation

00:39:37.780 now, right?

00:39:39.360 But how do

00:39:39.980 you measure

00:39:40.440 social isolation?

00:39:43.060 On my phone,

00:39:44.700 I communicate

00:39:45.360 with more people

00:39:46.280 than I've ever

00:39:46.940 communicated at

00:39:48.340 any time until

00:39:49.100 I got a

00:39:49.480 smartphone every

00:39:51.360 day.

00:39:52.020 I have more

00:39:53.080 meaningful

00:39:53.660 communications with

00:39:54.740 more people today

00:39:55.820 and during the

00:39:56.540 pandemic than at

00:39:57.800 any time in

00:39:58.340 my life,

00:39:59.040 but not in

00:39:59.640 person.

00:40:00.900 But I have

00:40:01.500 more communication

00:40:02.360 on more richer

00:40:04.100 topics than I

00:40:04.940 ever would just

00:40:05.780 in person.

00:40:07.220 So do we have

00:40:08.100 a lack of

00:40:08.640 social bonding?

00:40:10.060 Yes, in

00:40:10.820 person.

00:40:12.680 But social

00:40:13.560 isolation?

00:40:14.840 I don't know

00:40:15.580 that that applies

00:40:16.280 in the internet

00:40:16.860 age, does it?

00:40:18.620 I don't feel

00:40:19.580 isolated mentally.

00:40:21.580 I feel isolated

00:40:22.400 physically.

00:40:22.880 So I'm not

00:40:24.140 sure that this

00:40:25.020 is exactly

00:40:25.920 on point.

00:40:28.980 It looks a

00:40:29.540 little bit like

00:40:30.480 making the

00:40:32.220 data, jamming

00:40:34.080 it into the

00:40:34.580 theory.

00:40:35.580 But here's the

00:40:36.080 next one.

00:40:37.140 But you could

00:40:37.840 also easily

00:40:38.700 agree with this.

00:40:39.720 It would be

00:40:40.040 easy to agree

00:40:40.700 that we're more

00:40:41.300 socially isolated.

00:40:43.620 Easy to agree

00:40:44.340 with.

00:40:44.700 I just don't

00:40:45.220 know it's true,

00:40:46.700 but it's easy

00:40:47.520 to agree with it.

00:40:48.660 So that's

00:40:48.980 another red flag.

00:40:51.960 It's a red flag

00:40:52.760 if you could

00:40:54.520 look at it

00:40:54.900 and say, I

00:40:55.160 don't know if

00:40:55.500 that's necessarily

00:40:56.200 true, and yet

00:40:57.540 I agree with

00:40:58.120 it.

00:40:59.800 That should

00:41:00.360 worry you,

00:41:01.400 right?

00:41:01.860 Why do you

00:41:02.480 agree with it?

00:41:03.400 Because I

00:41:03.780 agreed with it.

00:41:05.040 I don't have

00:41:05.540 any data that

00:41:06.140 would support

00:41:06.580 that.

00:41:07.560 It just looks

00:41:08.140 like it's

00:41:08.460 true.

00:41:10.380 How about

00:41:10.920 the second

00:41:11.280 one?

00:41:11.540 Seeing life

00:41:12.040 as meaningless,

00:41:12.820 purposelessness,

00:41:13.540 and senseless.

00:41:16.500 Is there more

00:41:17.200 of that than

00:41:17.640 there ever was?

00:41:19.320 Do we see

00:41:20.080 life as

00:41:20.600 purposeless and

00:41:21.480 senseless more

00:41:22.160 than any

00:41:22.700 human did in

00:41:23.440 the past?

00:41:25.000 Maybe, because

00:41:26.140 there's less

00:41:26.700 religion, right?

00:41:28.500 Religion has 0.99

00:41:29.260 decreased, and

00:41:31.620 people are not

00:41:33.940 just assigned a

00:41:35.320 purpose of life

00:41:36.100 where you have

00:41:36.520 to work hard

00:41:37.060 or die.

00:41:38.060 A lot of us

00:41:38.760 don't have to

00:41:39.240 work hard or

00:41:39.840 die.

00:41:41.080 So that usually

00:41:41.780 is a way to

00:41:42.820 focus your

00:41:43.480 purpose.

00:41:43.980 I just got to

00:41:44.580 stay alive,

00:41:45.280 feed my family.

00:41:46.560 So yeah, I

00:41:47.160 would say we

00:41:48.080 maybe have

00:41:48.620 drifted into

00:41:49.260 more meaningless,

00:41:50.360 purposeless

00:41:50.840 existence.

00:41:51.480 But we

00:41:52.940 always had

00:41:53.500 a lot of

00:41:53.920 it, didn't

00:41:54.920 we?

00:41:56.180 How about

00:41:56.660 this?

00:41:56.980 Widespread

00:41:57.460 free-floating

00:41:58.180 anxiety and

00:41:59.200 free-floating

00:41:59.800 discontent.

00:42:00.980 Again, did

00:42:02.400 the pandemic

00:42:02.880 make it worse?

00:42:04.160 Maybe.

00:42:05.180 I don't have

00:42:05.640 any data to

00:42:06.320 support that.

00:42:07.340 But I

00:42:07.640 thought everybody

00:42:08.560 always had

00:42:09.020 free-floating

00:42:09.620 anxiety and

00:42:10.860 free-floating

00:42:11.500 discontent.

00:42:12.560 When did

00:42:13.020 that ever

00:42:13.400 turn off?

00:42:14.440 I don't

00:42:15.080 remember any

00:42:15.520 time we

00:42:15.820 didn't have

00:42:16.220 that.

00:42:17.160 How about

00:42:17.700 widespread

00:42:19.540 free-floating

00:42:20.280 frustration and

00:42:21.480 aggression?

00:42:22.340 Oh, that's

00:42:22.940 different.

00:42:24.120 No, it's

00:42:24.480 not.

00:42:25.200 That's not

00:42:25.960 different.

00:42:27.240 So here's my

00:42:28.140 take.

00:42:28.500 All four of

00:42:29.100 these things

00:42:29.680 are baseline.

00:42:31.960 They're just

00:42:32.420 baseline everyday

00:42:33.460 human existence.

00:42:35.240 here's what I

00:42:36.840 think caused

00:42:38.080 Nazi Germany.

00:42:41.200 People don't

00:42:42.040 like to blame

00:42:42.680 themselves for

00:42:43.380 their problems.

00:42:44.720 They like to

00:42:45.540 have something

00:42:45.980 else to blame

00:42:46.680 or somebody.

00:42:48.300 Hitler was 0.98

00:42:48.920 really good at

00:42:49.720 focusing their

00:42:51.340 thoughts into

00:42:52.080 that thing.

00:42:53.800 And then people

00:42:54.680 got in line

00:42:55.220 because people

00:42:55.900 will do

00:42:56.280 anything that

00:42:57.040 they're told.

00:42:58.300 You don't

00:42:58.780 really need a

00:42:59.480 big old mass

00:43:00.340 formation psychosis

00:43:01.660 if you have an

00:43:02.900 actual Hitler.

00:43:03.580 So the

00:43:05.580 situation was

00:43:06.740 people wanted

00:43:08.420 something to

00:43:09.000 focus on that

00:43:09.700 sort of made

00:43:10.800 them feel good,

00:43:11.520 I guess.

00:43:14.360 Oh, McCullough

00:43:14.980 lost me when he

00:43:15.780 said that Trump

00:43:16.320 told people to

00:43:17.040 drink bleach.

00:43:17.860 Oh, my God.

00:43:20.080 Was that in the

00:43:21.100 interview?

00:43:22.780 Or was that in

00:43:23.640 the Joe Rogan

00:43:24.240 interview?

00:43:25.520 Did that really

00:43:26.340 happen?

00:43:26.860 Give me a fact

00:43:27.480 check on that.

00:43:28.780 Really?

00:43:30.820 McCullough actually

00:43:31.700 believed that

00:43:32.520 Trump said to

00:43:33.500 drink bleach.

00:43:35.820 Oh, man.

00:43:40.780 And did I

00:43:41.800 hear also that

00:43:42.840 I see wrong.

00:43:45.740 Well, I see

00:43:46.240 no's.

00:43:47.500 Not true.

00:43:50.200 All right.

00:43:50.520 Well, I'm

00:43:50.740 saying no's and

00:43:51.360 yes's.

00:43:51.800 I would think

00:43:52.220 that you

00:43:53.380 mentioned diluted

00:43:54.340 bleach.

00:43:55.040 Oh, okay.

00:44:02.660 He was talking

00:44:03.460 about gargling

00:44:04.500 something that

00:44:05.060 was an

00:44:05.320 antiseptic, which

00:44:06.680 is different.

00:44:07.520 All right.

00:44:08.060 But in the

00:44:10.420 essence of that,

00:44:11.480 did he seem to

00:44:12.300 believe that

00:44:13.160 Trump...

00:44:13.840 Yeah, he...

00:44:14.580 No, I think I

00:44:15.380 saw that.

00:44:16.680 Didn't he say

00:44:17.380 that Trump was

00:44:19.680 right?

00:44:20.700 But I don't

00:44:21.240 think he meant

00:44:21.860 that Trump was

00:44:22.560 saying that at the

00:44:23.380 time, just that

00:44:24.400 if he had said

00:44:25.500 that it was

00:44:25.780 right.

00:44:26.240 I'm not sure

00:44:26.600 that...

00:44:28.640 Yeah, so I

00:44:34.500 don't think we

00:44:35.280 need any new

00:44:36.800 words called

00:44:37.660 mass formation

00:44:38.520 psychosis.

00:44:39.680 I think that

00:44:40.160 we're always...

00:44:42.200 There are always

00:44:42.900 going to be

00:44:43.280 people who lack

00:44:44.140 social bonding.

00:44:45.120 There's always

00:44:45.500 going to be

00:44:46.080 people seeing

00:44:46.780 it as meaningless

00:44:47.500 and purposelessness.

00:44:49.460 Yeah, there's

00:44:49.900 always free-floating

00:44:50.780 anxiety.

00:44:51.920 There's always

00:44:52.580 free-floating

00:44:53.200 frustration and

00:44:54.080 aggression.

00:44:55.760 I mean, when

00:44:56.240 has that ever

00:44:56.740 been different?

00:44:57.200 So I think if

00:44:58.500 you just take

00:44:59.060 the fake news

00:45:00.440 and say, hey,

00:45:03.020 we entered a

00:45:03.680 world in which

00:45:04.260 we found out,

00:45:05.700 thanks to Trump

00:45:06.460 really, that

00:45:07.700 nothing we are

00:45:08.380 being told is

00:45:08.980 true.

00:45:09.720 And then the

00:45:10.160 pandemic happened

00:45:10.980 and it was

00:45:11.820 really reinforced

00:45:12.620 that the experts

00:45:13.720 are wrong a lot.

00:45:16.700 So I think

00:45:17.640 that what happened

00:45:19.000 is we figured

00:45:19.900 out that we

00:45:20.420 can't trust any

00:45:21.140 of our sources

00:45:21.740 of information.

00:45:23.040 I feel like

00:45:23.640 that's the main

00:45:24.260 thing that happened.

00:45:24.880 And then once

00:45:26.180 you have the

00:45:26.780 fake news,

00:45:28.220 then the

00:45:29.020 fake news is

00:45:29.680 just feeding

00:45:30.780 the delusions

00:45:31.540 into their

00:45:32.120 side, and

00:45:33.240 that's the

00:45:33.580 whole story.

00:45:34.840 The whole

00:45:35.560 story is that

00:45:36.260 the fake news

00:45:37.120 is feeding

00:45:38.340 misinformation

00:45:38.980 to their

00:45:40.020 two sides,

00:45:41.440 and the

00:45:42.080 people don't

00:45:43.740 know it's

00:45:44.100 fake.

00:45:46.000 You could

00:45:46.700 take away

00:45:47.180 all of these

00:45:47.920 conditions,

00:45:49.040 and you get

00:45:49.520 the same

00:45:49.900 outcome.

00:45:50.280 if you took

00:45:53.060 away the

00:45:53.420 pandemic,

00:45:54.820 and you

00:45:55.740 took away

00:45:56.480 whatever

00:45:57.180 anxiety and

00:45:58.760 discontent

00:45:59.500 that caused 0.77

00:46:00.180 and aggression

00:46:00.760 that caused,

00:46:01.360 and there's

00:46:01.660 plenty,

00:46:02.620 we would

00:46:03.080 still have

00:46:03.820 plenty of

00:46:05.180 that stuff.

00:46:06.780 The pandemic

00:46:07.560 did make it

00:46:08.380 worse, but

00:46:09.920 I mean, it

00:46:10.460 was all here.

00:46:11.660 It was like

00:46:12.060 adding air

00:46:12.900 to air,

00:46:14.740 right?

00:46:15.300 Or like

00:46:16.000 putting water

00:46:16.700 in the ocean.

00:46:17.740 Yeah, yeah,

00:46:18.200 the pandemic

00:46:18.700 put some extra

00:46:19.380 water in the

00:46:20.000 ocean, but

00:46:21.000 you're not

00:46:21.300 going to

00:46:21.560 notice it

00:46:22.080 on the

00:46:22.380 beach,

00:46:23.820 because the

00:46:24.320 ocean was

00:46:24.740 already so

00:46:25.260 complete and

00:46:25.920 big.

00:46:27.000 So my

00:46:27.500 take is that

00:46:28.220 this is a,

00:46:29.820 I'd see it

00:46:31.080 as a way to

00:46:32.280 frame the

00:46:32.880 situation,

00:46:33.560 or maybe a

00:46:34.200 filter for

00:46:34.880 understanding it,

00:46:36.060 that I don't

00:46:36.780 think predicts.

00:46:39.200 Here's what I

00:46:39.960 do think

00:46:40.340 predicts,

00:46:41.300 that after the

00:46:42.300 pandemic is

00:46:42.980 over, we

00:46:44.180 will still

00:46:44.680 act exactly

00:46:45.540 this irrational

00:46:46.280 just about

00:46:46.880 other stuff.

00:46:48.660 Right?

00:46:49.040 So who

00:46:49.360 do you think

00:46:49.720 we'll predict

00:46:50.280 better?

00:46:51.680 Because this

00:46:52.160 would predict

00:46:52.700 that if the

00:46:53.300 pandemic passes,

00:46:55.120 that these

00:46:55.660 conditions which

00:46:56.540 are causing

00:46:57.000 the mass

00:46:57.440 formation

00:46:57.860 psychosis would

00:46:59.340 therefore be

00:46:59.940 resolved,

00:47:01.760 and therefore

00:47:02.240 the mass

00:47:02.760 formation

00:47:03.240 psychosis and

00:47:04.580 all the

00:47:04.840 craziness we're

00:47:05.540 experiencing would

00:47:06.340 decrease.

00:47:08.820 That's not

00:47:09.480 going to happen.

00:47:10.980 No, as long

00:47:11.900 as there's fake

00:47:12.560 news, it

00:47:14.380 will increase,

00:47:15.980 because there

00:47:16.920 will be more

00:47:17.600 delusions being

00:47:18.460 fed to us

00:47:19.020 every day.

00:47:19.820 And we'll

00:47:20.160 buy into

00:47:20.580 them, because

00:47:20.960 it came from

00:47:21.420 our side.

00:47:24.040 All right.

00:47:28.240 I think I've

00:47:29.560 got a

00:47:29.960 persuasion

00:47:32.060 success, but

00:47:33.800 it's a

00:47:34.580 limited success.

00:47:36.400 Most of you

00:47:37.160 know that I

00:47:37.800 have made it

00:47:38.340 my Don

00:47:39.240 Quixote

00:47:39.680 mission in

00:47:40.520 life to

00:47:41.460 debunk the

00:47:42.500 fine people

00:47:43.280 hoax, and

00:47:44.460 the drinking

00:47:45.260 bleach

00:47:45.580 hoax as

00:47:46.440 well.

00:47:47.460 And the

00:47:48.600 reason that I

00:47:49.120 focus on it

00:47:49.800 obsessively is

00:47:50.920 that I've

00:47:51.420 called it the

00:47:52.080 Rosetta Stone

00:47:53.580 for opening

00:47:54.540 the left's

00:47:55.500 minds.

00:47:56.520 If we can

00:47:57.600 get them to

00:47:58.240 understand how

00:47:59.000 they were

00:47:59.340 duped by the

00:48:00.120 fine people

00:48:00.660 hoax, that

00:48:02.100 pattern of how

00:48:03.060 they did it

00:48:03.720 can then be

00:48:04.520 applied to the

00:48:05.440 drinking bleach

00:48:06.460 hoax, because

00:48:07.040 it was the

00:48:07.380 same way it

00:48:08.300 was done.

00:48:09.700 It's the same 0.53

00:48:10.080 way they did

00:48:10.540 the Trump

00:48:11.440 said something

00:48:12.040 anti-Semitic.

00:48:12.940 They just

00:48:14.400 lop off some

00:48:17.000 context.

00:48:18.260 Once the

00:48:18.960 left learns

00:48:20.300 that that's

00:48:20.820 what's happened

00:48:21.440 to them, and

00:48:22.600 that it's not

00:48:23.160 just this, that

00:48:24.040 all the news

00:48:24.640 is fake, the

00:48:25.700 political news,

00:48:26.740 pretty much all

00:48:27.360 of the political

00:48:27.860 news is fake,

00:48:28.720 and then the

00:48:29.080 pandemic stuff

00:48:29.740 is just wrong,

00:48:31.020 it's not

00:48:31.480 intentionally fake,

00:48:32.420 but the

00:48:32.780 political stuff

00:48:33.520 is intentional,

00:48:35.180 obviously, and

00:48:37.400 that's why I

00:48:39.240 spend so much

00:48:39.700 time on it,

00:48:40.280 because it's

00:48:40.620 so important.

00:48:41.180 But, so

00:48:42.400 Biden once

00:48:43.340 again spouted

00:48:44.420 the find

00:48:45.320 people hoax,

00:48:46.660 and that

00:48:47.540 clip went

00:48:48.040 around the

00:48:48.400 internet, and

00:48:48.880 here's the

00:48:49.220 good news.

00:48:50.920 Once I tweet

00:48:52.480 that he's at

00:48:53.220 it again with

00:48:54.580 that hoax, the

00:48:56.040 comments just

00:48:56.880 are filled with

00:48:58.100 people pasting

00:48:59.120 the actual

00:48:59.820 transcript, and

00:49:01.720 the transcript is

00:49:02.540 marked so you

00:49:03.320 can see which

00:49:03.740 parts the news

00:49:04.560 cuts out, and

00:49:05.900 then other

00:49:06.200 people are

00:49:06.600 showing the

00:49:06.980 full video,

00:49:07.780 et cetera.

00:49:08.060 And it

00:49:08.940 used to be, do

00:49:10.320 you remember

00:49:10.660 how alone I

00:49:11.420 was?

00:49:12.880 Does anybody

00:49:13.420 remember when I

00:49:14.260 started debunking

00:49:16.180 the find people

00:49:16.860 hoax?

00:49:17.720 I was completely

00:49:18.800 alone.

00:49:19.980 You remember

00:49:20.480 that, right?

00:49:21.560 How many of you

00:49:22.540 would see me say

00:49:23.140 that, and even

00:49:23.760 the right would

00:49:24.300 say, well, we're

00:49:25.100 not even going to

00:49:25.740 get into this

00:49:26.420 one?

00:49:27.040 I think he did

00:49:27.920 say it, even

00:49:28.580 the people on

00:49:29.000 the right.

00:49:31.360 Yeah, I'm

00:49:31.900 seeing lots of

00:49:32.420 confirmation.

00:49:33.800 I think that

00:49:35.080 Steve Cortez, and

00:49:39.400 yeah, Joel

00:49:40.000 Pollack, and

00:49:41.960 I, primarily, the

00:49:44.360 three of us, I

00:49:45.360 think we

00:49:45.700 completely moved

00:49:46.580 this battleship.

00:49:47.800 It just took

00:49:48.740 about five years

00:49:49.500 to do it.

00:49:50.380 Well, how many?

00:49:51.140 2018, right?

00:49:52.260 Three years.

00:49:53.300 So it took three

00:49:54.040 years to move the

00:49:54.780 battleship, but

00:49:55.860 damn, we never

00:49:56.520 quit.

00:49:57.880 Yeah, Jack

00:49:58.360 Posabek, he was

00:49:59.080 on it, too.

00:50:00.080 I think Cernovich

00:50:00.720 was on it.

00:50:01.500 A lot of people

00:50:02.120 boosting the

00:50:03.860 message, but

00:50:04.420 the three of

00:50:05.560 us were just

00:50:06.020 maniacs.

00:50:07.420 We won't let

00:50:08.500 this alone for

00:50:09.100 a second.

00:50:09.940 We're like

00:50:10.460 pitbulls.

00:50:12.480 There it is

00:50:13.160 again.

00:50:14.600 But while I

00:50:15.900 don't know how

00:50:16.480 much of a dent

00:50:17.140 we've made in

00:50:17.880 the understanding

00:50:18.860 on the left,

00:50:20.320 here's what I

00:50:21.280 tweeted, and I

00:50:22.500 want to teach

00:50:23.720 you some

00:50:24.240 persuasion.

00:50:25.980 So here's some

00:50:27.000 persuasion built

00:50:28.340 into my tweet on

00:50:29.340 this topic, and

00:50:30.640 I'll read it

00:50:31.020 first and tell

00:50:31.520 you what the

00:50:31.980 technique is.

00:50:33.220 I tweeted,

00:50:34.000 by now even

00:50:34.720 well-informed

00:50:35.400 Democrats know

00:50:36.300 the fine people

00:50:37.000 hoax was

00:50:37.540 concocted with

00:50:38.460 a video edit.

00:50:39.920 So notice the

00:50:40.720 first thing I

00:50:41.280 did is go

00:50:42.360 right to how

00:50:43.860 it was caused

00:50:44.540 by a video

00:50:45.380 edit.

00:50:45.720 So I've given

00:50:46.760 them something

00:50:47.260 that they can

00:50:48.020 check or not

00:50:49.240 check, but it's

00:50:50.040 like a clean

00:50:50.880 claim.

00:50:51.820 It's a simple

00:50:52.240 claim.

00:50:52.680 It's a video

00:50:53.140 edit.

00:50:54.940 But did you

00:50:55.740 see the trick?

00:50:58.520 Did you see

00:50:59.300 the trick?

00:50:59.720 I said, by

00:51:00.860 now, even

00:51:01.680 well-informed

00:51:02.500 Democrats know

00:51:03.780 this.

00:51:04.680 Who wants to

00:51:05.500 be a poorly

00:51:06.080 informed Democrat?

00:51:08.240 There are lots

00:51:09.240 of poorly

00:51:09.600 informed Democrats,

00:51:10.500 and Republicans

00:51:11.280 do, but nobody

00:51:12.680 wants to be one.

00:51:14.280 So instead of

00:51:15.100 just telling them

00:51:15.980 what's true and

00:51:16.800 what's not, I

00:51:18.380 tell them that the

00:51:19.220 smart people among

00:51:20.200 them have already

00:51:20.900 made the move.

00:51:23.380 Think of how

00:51:24.300 persuasive that

00:51:25.080 feels.

00:51:25.960 So imagine

00:51:27.200 it of your

00:51:27.920 own group.

00:51:28.700 Let's say it

00:51:29.160 was some other

00:51:29.580 topic, and I

00:51:30.200 said, you know,

00:51:31.060 all the smart

00:51:32.280 conservatives have

00:51:33.960 already moved to

00:51:35.220 X.

00:51:37.220 That would pull

00:51:38.800 you, wouldn't

00:51:39.300 it?

00:51:40.140 Because if you

00:51:40.800 said to yourself,

00:51:41.440 well, I'm a

00:51:41.860 conservative.

00:51:42.840 Wait, what?

00:51:43.420 What?

00:51:44.360 All the smart

00:51:45.320 ones are on the

00:51:45.960 same page, and

00:51:46.700 it's different

00:51:47.120 from me?

00:51:47.700 Wait, what?

00:51:48.960 There's no way

00:51:49.700 that wouldn't

00:51:50.700 influence you.

00:51:51.720 You would

00:51:52.020 absolutely be,

00:51:53.460 not completely

00:51:54.580 turned,

00:51:55.320 but you

00:51:56.000 would feel

00:51:56.340 the tug, the

00:51:57.840 persuasive tug

00:51:58.680 of that.

00:51:59.580 So it used

00:52:00.380 to be that I

00:52:01.060 was sort of

00:52:01.820 pleading with

00:52:02.540 people to, you

00:52:03.960 know, look at

00:52:04.500 the facts and

00:52:05.860 come around to

00:52:06.660 the right

00:52:07.200 conclusion.

00:52:08.080 We've now

00:52:08.540 reached the

00:52:08.960 point, and

00:52:09.740 this is because

00:52:10.640 the help from

00:52:11.380 all of you,

00:52:12.340 we've reached

00:52:12.820 the point that

00:52:13.500 the detail of

00:52:16.020 how things

00:52:16.520 were, how

00:52:18.960 the hoax

00:52:19.840 worked, are

00:52:20.740 in the

00:52:21.120 comments.

00:52:22.420 So every

00:52:22.780 time the

00:52:23.100 topic comes

00:52:23.600 up, the

00:52:23.920 comments are

00:52:24.360 just filled

00:52:25.160 with the

00:52:25.840 debunks.

00:52:26.880 So now I

00:52:28.340 don't have

00:52:28.660 to debunk

00:52:29.180 it.

00:52:30.060 You freed

00:52:30.660 me.

00:52:31.480 You freed

00:52:32.340 me from

00:52:32.720 the details

00:52:33.300 of the

00:52:33.640 debunking.

00:52:34.620 So now I

00:52:35.500 can just

00:52:35.820 use pure

00:52:36.400 persuasion,

00:52:37.520 because you've

00:52:38.420 done the

00:52:38.840 base work,

00:52:39.520 right?

00:52:40.120 So now I

00:52:40.760 can just

00:52:41.100 say, by

00:52:41.940 now even

00:52:42.400 well-informed

00:52:43.020 Democrats know

00:52:43.760 this is a

00:52:44.260 hoax.

00:52:45.960 That's the

00:52:46.580 final turn.

00:52:48.220 We got the

00:52:49.060 final turn.

00:52:50.800 Now there's

00:52:51.240 not much else

00:52:52.020 you can

00:52:52.380 say.

00:52:54.000 This is

00:52:54.620 sort of

00:52:55.320 the end

00:52:56.040 of the

00:52:56.280 persuasion,

00:52:57.160 but it's

00:52:57.460 probably good

00:52:57.880 enough, at

00:52:58.940 least to get

00:52:59.380 some people

00:53:00.080 to turn.

00:53:01.240 And if you

00:53:01.900 get some,

00:53:02.620 maybe they'll

00:53:03.160 bring it up

00:53:03.620 at holidays,

00:53:05.180 or maybe

00:53:05.960 not.

00:53:06.740 But I

00:53:07.840 feel like this

00:53:08.360 was a

00:53:08.660 persuasion

00:53:09.160 success, a

00:53:10.320 partial success.

00:53:11.700 Yes, and

00:53:12.260 Erica over

00:53:13.400 at Locals is

00:53:14.040 pasting the,

00:53:15.800 everybody seems

00:53:16.700 to have the

00:53:17.080 same copy

00:53:17.740 of the

00:53:18.240 transcript that's

00:53:19.540 got the red

00:53:20.060 boxes showing

00:53:20.980 the parts that

00:53:21.600 were cut out.

00:53:22.860 And I had

00:53:24.160 been prompting

00:53:26.060 people to

00:53:26.580 save that.

00:53:28.060 So that was

00:53:28.460 part of the

00:53:28.840 persuasion.

00:53:29.680 I would say,

00:53:30.260 save this, save

00:53:30.820 this, so you

00:53:31.720 can paste it

00:53:32.280 every time

00:53:32.620 somebody does

00:53:33.160 this.

00:53:33.440 And people

00:53:33.980 are doing

00:53:34.300 it.

00:53:34.920 So a whole

00:53:35.340 bunch of

00:53:35.680 people made

00:53:36.180 a special

00:53:36.780 effort to

00:53:37.960 save the

00:53:38.480 debunks and

00:53:39.540 just pop them

00:53:40.140 out on

00:53:40.940 demand.

00:53:41.820 And it

00:53:42.120 makes a

00:53:42.420 difference.

00:53:43.180 It really is

00:53:43.820 just destroying

00:53:44.680 these narratives

00:53:45.440 where you see

00:53:45.940 them.

00:53:46.340 Now the

00:53:46.660 Democrats don't

00:53:47.340 necessarily see

00:53:48.340 the narrative

00:53:49.400 being destroyed

00:53:50.160 because of

00:53:50.600 the bubbles.

00:53:52.000 But I

00:53:52.620 think you

00:53:52.960 can get a

00:53:53.400 few.

00:53:54.600 And maybe

00:53:55.120 a few will

00:53:55.760 be enough

00:53:56.560 to see

00:53:57.040 the change.

00:53:58.660 All right.

00:54:02.980 I saw a

00:54:03.980 tweet by

00:54:04.840 Kyle

00:54:05.480 Kashuv

00:54:06.340 who tweeted

00:54:07.680 that, I

00:54:08.900 guess there's

00:54:09.280 an article,

00:54:10.420 I don't know

00:54:10.960 where it's

00:54:11.180 from because

00:54:11.680 it was just

00:54:12.060 a pasted

00:54:12.780 headline,

00:54:13.780 that more

00:54:14.740 men won't 0.97

00:54:15.520 date woke

00:54:16.380 women. 0.81

00:54:17.340 In your

00:54:19.760 observation,

00:54:20.920 is it

00:54:21.220 true that

00:54:22.740 single people

00:54:24.660 are making

00:54:25.360 a decision

00:54:26.200 not to

00:54:27.360 date woke

00:54:28.600 women? 1.00

00:54:30.760 Now I

00:54:31.100 think it

00:54:31.360 would go

00:54:31.620 both ways,

00:54:32.340 right?

00:54:32.540 Woke people.

00:54:34.240 But since

00:54:35.520 the article

00:54:35.900 was about

00:54:36.420 men.

00:54:36.840 yeah, I

00:54:44.000 feel like

00:54:44.860 that's a

00:54:46.840 thing.

00:54:49.700 I feel

00:54:50.420 like that's

00:54:50.860 a thing.

00:54:53.080 I've heard

00:54:53.800 it, by the

00:54:54.920 way.

00:54:55.260 I have

00:54:55.960 heard single

00:54:57.100 people talk

00:54:59.400 about avoiding

00:55:00.220 woke people.

00:55:01.020 Have you?

00:55:01.280 Now I

00:55:04.120 imagine that

00:55:04.880 there's

00:55:05.340 something like

00:55:05.840 that that

00:55:06.240 was going

00:55:06.640 on with

00:55:08.440 Trump

00:55:10.300 supporters.

00:55:10.920 There's

00:55:11.020 probably a

00:55:11.360 lot of

00:55:11.700 people who

00:55:12.600 say,

00:55:12.920 never date

00:55:13.520 a Trump

00:55:13.920 supporter.

00:55:15.280 So it

00:55:15.960 happens both

00:55:16.440 ways.

00:55:17.320 But yeah,

00:55:17.900 there definitely

00:55:18.280 seems to be

00:55:19.020 an interest to

00:55:20.300 move away from

00:55:20.940 woke women.

00:55:21.980 Let me ask

00:55:22.460 you this.

00:55:23.280 Do you know

00:55:23.680 any single

00:55:24.540 men who

00:55:26.560 don't want

00:55:27.380 to date

00:55:28.800 women who 0.99

00:55:29.460 were born in

00:55:29.980 this country?

00:55:33.020 Have you

00:55:33.560 seen that?

00:55:34.880 Single men 0.75

00:55:35.680 who don't

00:55:36.180 want to date

00:55:36.740 any women 0.99

00:55:37.360 who were born

00:55:37.820 in this

00:55:38.180 country?

00:55:39.660 Look at all

00:55:40.260 the yeses.

00:55:42.040 There's some

00:55:42.660 noes, but

00:55:43.980 the yeses are

00:55:45.260 the more

00:55:45.960 instructive ones

00:55:48.000 in this case.

00:55:48.900 Because if you

00:55:49.460 haven't heard it,

00:55:50.020 you just haven't

00:55:50.500 heard it.

00:55:50.860 It doesn't mean

00:55:51.240 it's not

00:55:51.540 happening.

00:55:52.120 But the ones

00:55:52.600 who said yes

00:55:53.340 means they've

00:55:53.880 heard it.

00:55:54.900 Yeah.

00:55:55.620 Oh, I've

00:55:56.020 heard it.

00:55:57.160 Now do you

00:55:57.500 know why?

00:55:57.920 Do they

00:56:00.340 ever give

00:56:00.640 reasons why

00:56:01.300 they don't

00:56:01.560 want to date

00:56:01.980 somebody born

00:56:02.540 in this

00:56:02.840 country?

00:56:04.880 Somebody says

00:56:05.480 spoiled.

00:56:12.440 I can't

00:56:13.280 even read

00:56:14.180 out loud

00:56:14.640 some of

00:56:14.940 these.

00:56:17.160 Yeah, the

00:56:18.200 basic part

00:56:19.440 is that they're

00:56:19.940 not indoctrinated

00:56:20.940 to hate men,

00:56:22.800 basically.

00:56:24.000 That women 0.97

00:56:25.020 who are born

00:56:25.800 in other

00:56:26.140 countries,

00:56:26.520 my experience,

00:56:28.380 is that they

00:56:28.840 have a more

00:56:29.260 positive view

00:56:30.600 of men in

00:56:31.140 general.

00:56:32.720 Let me ask

00:56:33.420 this question

00:56:33.880 just here.

00:56:35.460 Stop your

00:56:36.000 other answers.

00:56:37.520 One question.

00:56:38.920 Is it your

00:56:39.460 observation that

00:56:41.500 women born in

00:56:42.340 other countries

00:56:42.880 have a more

00:56:43.440 positive view

00:56:44.280 of American

00:56:45.300 men than

00:56:46.120 women who 0.99

00:56:46.680 are born in

00:56:47.080 this country?

00:56:48.380 All right.

00:56:48.740 Let me read

00:56:49.220 the answers as

00:56:50.040 they're going

00:56:50.400 by.

00:56:50.780 Yes, yes,

00:56:51.120 yes, yes,

00:56:51.480 yes, yes,

00:56:51.880 yes, yes,

00:56:52.240 yes, yes.

00:56:52.860 Yes, yes,

00:56:53.440 yes, yes,

00:56:53.780 yes, yes.

00:56:54.240 Yes, yes,

00:56:54.740 yes.

00:56:55.000 Yep, yep,

00:56:56.940 yep, 100%.

00:56:57.720 Yes, yes, yes,

00:56:58.720 yes, yes, yes,

00:56:59.660 yes, yes, yes.

00:57:01.620 I think we

00:57:02.460 have an answer.

00:57:05.840 So here's

00:57:06.660 some advice

00:57:07.480 to pass

00:57:08.040 along to

00:57:09.420 the young

00:57:11.600 women in 0.62

00:57:12.220 your circle

00:57:12.940 who are

00:57:13.920 wondering why

00:57:14.480 they can't

00:57:14.880 get a date.

00:57:16.460 It's because

00:57:17.140 they don't

00:57:17.600 respect men,

00:57:19.100 and the men

00:57:20.760 know that.

00:57:23.360 It's pretty

00:57:24.020 obvious.

00:57:25.680 There's no

00:57:26.280 respect at

00:57:26.820 all.

00:57:27.860 And men

00:57:29.880 know that.

00:57:30.480 We can

00:57:30.760 feel it.

00:57:31.980 It's pretty

00:57:32.380 obvious.

00:57:33.440 But when you

00:57:34.120 meet somebody

00:57:34.580 who was born

00:57:34.980 in another

00:57:35.340 country,

00:57:35.760 you feel

00:57:36.080 it right

00:57:36.360 away.

00:57:37.540 You feel

00:57:38.280 immediately

00:57:38.840 that there's

00:57:40.520 some kind

00:57:41.320 of different

00:57:41.820 feeling toward

00:57:42.500 you.

00:57:43.260 Immediately.

00:57:46.900 Andrew

00:57:47.340 says it's

00:57:48.220 a case of

00:57:48.740 weak men.

00:57:50.240 Do you

00:57:50.740 think that's

00:57:51.140 the case?

00:57:52.140 Do you

00:57:52.400 think it's

00:57:52.780 the weak

00:57:53.220 men who

00:57:53.620 can't stand

00:57:54.200 up to

00:57:54.500 these

00:57:54.680 strong

00:57:55.020 women? 1.00

00:57:59.460 No.

00:58:00.720 I think

00:58:01.360 that's

00:58:01.600 some of

00:58:01.920 it.

00:58:02.480 There's

00:58:02.880 some of

00:58:03.140 that baked

00:58:03.480 into it,

00:58:04.060 just like

00:58:04.580 there's

00:58:04.780 some of

00:58:05.080 everything

00:58:05.420 baked into

00:58:05.860 everything.

00:58:06.880 But no,

00:58:08.200 I think it's

00:58:08.540 just a

00:58:08.800 preference.

00:58:10.220 It's just

00:58:10.600 a preference.

00:58:12.260 Why do

00:58:13.020 you want

00:58:13.300 to fight

00:58:14.160 with your

00:58:14.580 spouse all

00:58:15.120 the time?

00:58:15.800 It would

00:58:16.020 just be a

00:58:16.380 preference.

00:58:16.660 All right.

00:58:18.520 I will

00:58:23.020 say that

00:58:23.420 Christina was

00:58:24.200 not ruined

00:58:24.840 by any

00:58:25.620 of that

00:58:25.920 indoctrination.

00:58:28.000 So she's

00:58:29.640 wonderfully

00:58:30.440 not like

00:58:32.020 most people.

00:58:34.680 All right.

00:58:35.480 That is all

00:58:36.280 I had today.

00:58:37.200 I'm certainly

00:58:37.900 not trying

00:58:39.300 to dump

00:58:39.980 on women

00:58:41.140 because I

00:58:41.640 don't think

00:58:41.920 it has

00:58:43.140 nothing to do

00:58:43.620 with women.

00:58:44.620 It has to

00:58:45.020 do with

00:58:45.520 the system,

00:58:46.620 right?

00:58:46.780 So if the

00:58:48.020 system trains

00:58:48.800 you to be

00:58:49.200 a certain

00:58:49.940 kind of

00:58:50.300 person or

00:58:50.760 want a

00:58:51.180 certain

00:58:51.360 thing,

00:58:52.400 well,

00:58:52.860 that's what

00:58:53.980 you're going

00:58:54.280 to want.

00:58:55.080 It has

00:58:55.320 nothing to

00:58:55.740 do with

00:58:56.040 being male

00:58:56.720 or female.

00:59:04.800 And how

00:59:08.220 many people

00:59:08.780 accept my

00:59:10.060 argument that

00:59:10.860 the mass

00:59:11.520 formation

00:59:13.200 psychosis is

00:59:14.900 real-ish,

00:59:15.780 is real-ish.

00:59:17.160 It just

00:59:17.480 isn't really

00:59:18.260 anything you

00:59:18.860 need to

00:59:19.200 think about.

00:59:20.140 It doesn't

00:59:20.520 help you.

00:59:21.380 It doesn't

00:59:21.640 add anything.

00:59:26.560 Now,

00:59:27.080 I can't

00:59:27.560 tell if

00:59:29.180 this is

00:59:29.580 sarcasm.

00:59:31.420 Bill is

00:59:32.040 saying Scott

00:59:32.660 is waking

00:59:33.120 up.

00:59:34.440 Now,

00:59:35.040 since I

00:59:35.740 can't tell,

00:59:36.240 I'm not

00:59:36.440 going to

00:59:36.580 block you

00:59:36.940 because that

00:59:37.220 might be a

00:59:37.600 joke,

00:59:38.240 but you

00:59:38.620 do know

00:59:38.940 that I

00:59:39.240 block

00:59:39.520 everybody

00:59:40.020 who says

00:59:41.280 I'm finally

00:59:42.100 getting it

00:59:42.720 or waking

00:59:43.320 up.

00:59:43.700 just so

00:59:44.580 you know

00:59:44.940 that that's

00:59:46.020 an instant

00:59:46.520 block.

00:59:49.060 Jennifer

00:59:49.540 says you

00:59:50.060 missed the

00:59:50.500 point of

00:59:50.880 it.

00:59:51.740 I'll bet

00:59:52.000 I don't.

00:59:52.740 What's the

00:59:53.080 point of

00:59:53.340 it,

00:59:54.420 Jennifer?

00:59:56.160 What is

00:59:56.900 the point

00:59:57.380 of it?

00:59:57.900 Because I

00:59:58.540 told you

00:59:58.960 an alternate

00:59:59.860 hypothesis

01:00:01.020 that explains

01:00:02.000 everything you

01:00:02.680 see.

01:00:02.840 word thinking

01:00:16.120 on mass

01:00:16.680 formation.

01:00:19.480 Somebody

01:00:20.040 said the

01:00:20.920 comment from

01:00:21.640 Marusha is

01:00:22.280 that I'm

01:00:23.080 word thinking

01:00:23.800 on mass

01:00:24.320 formation.

01:00:24.840 In other

01:00:25.060 words,

01:00:25.320 using definitions

01:00:26.220 to make an

01:00:26.900 argument instead

01:00:27.560 of an

01:00:27.820 argument.

01:00:28.600 But I

01:00:29.220 think that's

01:00:29.660 my argument.

01:00:30.200 I think

01:00:32.580 your argument

01:00:33.020 is my

01:00:33.400 argument.

01:00:34.420 That mass

01:00:35.180 formation isn't

01:00:36.180 anything but

01:00:36.700 word thinking.

01:00:38.080 In other

01:00:38.360 words,

01:00:38.740 it's things

01:00:39.300 that have

01:00:39.940 always been

01:00:40.360 here,

01:00:40.760 always will

01:00:41.180 be here,

01:00:42.220 and you

01:00:43.380 just need a

01:00:44.160 trigger for

01:00:44.840 things to go

01:00:45.600 the way they

01:00:46.020 go.

01:00:46.960 Hitler was a 0.99

01:00:47.740 trigger in

01:00:48.200 Germany.

01:00:49.340 Here's the

01:00:49.940 fake news.

01:00:51.820 I just don't

01:00:52.620 think you need

01:00:53.040 any extra

01:00:53.620 words and

01:00:54.580 call it

01:00:54.960 mass

01:00:55.300 formation

01:00:55.760 anything.

01:00:56.360 Scott,

01:01:00.200 you just

01:01:00.500 told me to

01:01:01.000 wear a

01:01:01.300 mask last

01:01:01.980 month.

01:01:02.920 I'm sure I

01:01:03.460 didn't do

01:01:03.780 that.

01:01:05.060 Is that a

01:01:05.720 delusion?

01:01:11.340 McCullough

01:01:11.780 said Trump

01:01:12.320 did a poor

01:01:12.800 job of

01:01:13.340 articulating

01:01:14.140 that gargling

01:01:14.900 a few drops

01:01:15.480 of bleach

01:01:15.840 solution is

01:01:16.420 beneficial.

01:01:17.380 Yeah,

01:01:17.560 okay,

01:01:17.880 so that's

01:01:18.180 the confirmation

01:01:18.680 I was looking

01:01:19.180 for.

01:01:19.820 I couldn't

01:01:20.140 remember which

01:01:20.660 doctor said

01:01:21.280 that,

01:01:21.520 but it was

01:01:21.800 McCullough.

01:01:23.140 So McCullough

01:01:23.740 was telling

01:01:24.200 his own

01:01:24.740 story about

01:01:26.180 maybe there's

01:01:26.760 some kind

01:01:28.180 of thing

01:01:28.440 to gargle

01:01:28.960 that would

01:01:29.340 be good

01:01:29.680 for killing

01:01:30.400 the virus

01:01:30.900 in your

01:01:31.260 mouth,

01:01:31.920 which we

01:01:32.520 already know.

01:01:33.520 And he

01:01:34.160 tried to

01:01:34.900 relate that

01:01:35.900 to Trump,

01:01:36.440 but his

01:01:36.820 mistake was

01:01:37.720 sort of

01:01:38.600 misinterpreting

01:01:39.280 what Trump

01:01:39.900 was doing.

01:01:40.680 But I don't

01:01:41.460 think that's

01:01:42.240 the worst

01:01:42.640 crime.

01:01:43.300 I'm not

01:01:43.580 going to

01:01:43.720 hold that

01:01:44.000 against him.

01:01:46.560 Like I

01:01:47.140 said,

01:01:47.480 it's weird,

01:01:48.260 but I

01:01:49.400 have a

01:01:49.700 very,

01:01:50.140 very positive

01:01:51.360 opinion of

01:01:52.080 Dr.

01:01:52.400 McCullough.

01:01:53.640 Do you?

01:01:54.980 You know,

01:01:55.400 like I have

01:01:56.160 my disagreements

01:01:58.240 with his

01:01:58.700 data

01:01:59.000 interpretation,

01:02:00.160 but not

01:02:00.980 his risk

01:02:02.200 management.

01:02:03.180 I think he

01:02:03.620 does risk

01:02:04.100 management just

01:02:04.800 right.

01:02:05.940 Not his

01:02:06.840 criticisms of

01:02:07.880 the bureaucracy.

01:02:08.920 I agree with

01:02:09.360 those.

01:02:13.200 I don't know.

01:02:13.620 I think just

01:02:14.280 his data

01:02:14.740 analysis and

01:02:15.620 maybe this

01:02:16.160 mass formation

01:02:17.040 thing he puts

01:02:17.640 a little bit

01:02:18.060 too much

01:02:18.400 weight on,

01:02:19.600 but those

01:02:20.060 are small.

01:02:23.020 Those are

01:02:23.640 pretty small

01:02:24.060 complaints.

01:02:26.160 Yeah,

01:02:31.460 he's very

01:02:31.940 credible,

01:02:32.780 but the

01:02:33.040 thing that

01:02:33.560 we should

01:02:33.900 all be

01:02:34.480 careful about

01:02:35.400 is whether

01:02:36.540 his qualifications

01:02:38.580 are the

01:02:39.240 ones that

01:02:39.760 are good

01:02:40.600 for data

01:02:41.120 analysis.

01:02:42.700 And I

01:02:42.940 think that

01:02:43.420 what happened

01:02:43.960 is that when

01:02:44.560 he was

01:02:44.800 talking about

01:02:45.320 everything

01:02:45.700 within his

01:02:46.300 domain,

01:02:47.240 he was

01:02:47.840 nailing the

01:02:48.460 hell out of

01:02:48.960 it.

01:02:49.540 Let me see

01:02:50.260 if you buy

01:02:50.660 this

01:02:51.020 characterization.

01:02:52.080 that when

01:02:53.360 Dr.

01:02:55.700 McCullough

01:02:55.980 was talking

01:02:56.440 about things

01:02:57.000 which he

01:02:57.760 states would

01:02:58.440 be within

01:02:59.000 his range

01:02:59.740 of expertise,

01:03:00.920 that it

01:03:01.720 was really

01:03:02.100 good.

01:03:03.580 And the

01:03:03.920 moment he

01:03:04.400 left his

01:03:05.040 realm of

01:03:05.900 expertise,

01:03:06.700 let's say

01:03:07.020 to do

01:03:07.400 data analysis,

01:03:09.360 then that's

01:03:10.280 where problems

01:03:10.840 happened.

01:03:11.820 And I don't

01:03:12.960 think he

01:03:13.280 claims to be

01:03:13.920 an expert

01:03:14.300 in psychology,

01:03:16.280 so when he

01:03:16.780 talked about

01:03:17.300 mass formation

01:03:18.180 psychosis,

01:03:19.440 he was really

01:03:20.060 referring to

01:03:20.620 somebody else's

01:03:21.440 theory,

01:03:23.020 saying you

01:03:23.500 should take

01:03:23.860 a look at

01:03:24.360 it,

01:03:25.060 and that's

01:03:25.460 fair.

01:03:26.680 That's fair.

01:03:27.740 Saying you

01:03:28.120 should take

01:03:28.460 a look at

01:03:29.900 it too.

01:03:30.500 So I

01:03:30.780 agree with

01:03:31.080 him.

01:03:31.760 Whether

01:03:32.240 that's the

01:03:32.720 explanation

01:03:33.280 that's the

01:03:34.280 good one

01:03:34.720 is a

01:03:35.200 separate

01:03:35.480 question.

01:03:38.420 Yeah.

01:03:39.900 So I

01:03:40.560 guess I

01:03:41.720 would say

01:03:42.080 be critical

01:03:43.180 about what

01:03:43.880 he says

01:03:44.220 about data,

01:03:44.960 especially

01:03:45.240 about hydroxy

01:03:46.200 and especially

01:03:46.820 about ivermectin.

01:03:48.240 I think if

01:03:49.220 I had to

01:03:49.600 predict,

01:03:49.940 he will

01:03:50.840 turn out

01:03:51.300 to be

01:03:51.640 wrong about

01:03:52.260 the efficacy

01:03:52.860 of those.

01:03:54.080 But I

01:03:54.540 don't know.

01:03:56.260 I don't

01:03:56.540 know.

01:03:56.860 If you

01:03:57.120 said to

01:03:57.400 yourself,

01:03:57.800 I think

01:03:58.040 I'll go

01:03:59.480 with the

01:03:59.840 doctor on

01:04:00.400 this one,

01:04:00.840 you wouldn't

01:04:01.260 be crazy.

01:04:02.980 But just

01:04:03.900 so I can

01:04:04.560 be on

01:04:04.820 record,

01:04:05.720 I believe

01:04:06.260 that when

01:04:06.600 it's all

01:04:06.900 said and

01:04:07.320 done,

01:04:07.640 and I

01:04:07.840 don't know,

01:04:08.160 maybe it'll

01:04:08.500 be five or

01:04:09.080 ten years

01:04:09.480 from now,

01:04:10.380 when we

01:04:11.020 revisit and

01:04:11.740 we really

01:04:12.260 know if

01:04:13.320 these drugs

01:04:13.880 worked or

01:04:14.560 not,

01:04:14.980 the ivermectin

01:04:15.660 and the

01:04:15.860 hydroxy,

01:04:16.840 I think

01:04:17.640 that we'll

01:04:17.960 find that

01:04:18.360 they had

01:04:18.640 small effect.

01:04:19.940 Or zero.

01:04:22.500 I think

01:04:23.080 small would

01:04:23.600 be fair.

01:04:25.220 So I

01:04:26.600 think that

01:04:27.000 he will be

01:04:27.520 wrong about

01:04:28.080 that.

01:04:29.160 But his

01:04:30.380 thinking that

01:04:31.240 we should

01:04:31.580 have tried

01:04:31.920 it anyway

01:04:32.360 is right

01:04:32.900 on.

01:04:33.240 I agree

01:04:33.540 with that.

01:04:38.580 I'm

01:04:39.100 hunched

01:04:39.420 over.

01:04:40.560 Somebody's

01:04:41.060 making fun

01:04:41.520 of my

01:04:41.780 posture

01:04:42.160 accurately.

01:04:45.780 Same as

01:04:46.500 masks.

01:04:48.040 I think

01:04:48.740 we'll find

01:04:49.180 out that

01:04:49.620 masks

01:04:50.180 helped a

01:04:50.860 little bit.

01:04:52.680 Which is

01:04:53.560 what we

01:04:54.920 assumed.

01:04:56.020 If you

01:04:56.740 think that

01:04:57.280 masks don't

01:04:58.140 work,

01:04:58.600 I call you

01:04:59.180 a plume

01:05:00.220 denier.

01:05:01.780 A plume

01:05:02.260 denier.

01:05:05.080 How's that?

01:05:05.660 Does that

01:05:06.000 work?

01:05:07.680 Now,

01:05:08.220 because to

01:05:08.860 think that

01:05:09.340 masks don't

01:05:10.000 work,

01:05:10.860 you pretty

01:05:11.740 much have to

01:05:12.400 say that

01:05:12.820 plumes don't 0.74

01:05:13.540 make a

01:05:13.860 difference.

01:05:14.760 Don't you?

01:05:15.340 it?

01:05:17.720 If you

01:05:18.240 believe that

01:05:18.680 the way

01:05:18.940 people get

01:05:19.420 it is

01:05:19.760 because it's

01:05:20.300 just ambient

01:05:21.400 in the air

01:05:22.140 and it's

01:05:22.560 all sort

01:05:23.440 of spread

01:05:24.400 in the air

01:05:24.980 and if you

01:05:25.400 walk into

01:05:25.820 a room

01:05:26.200 there's going

01:05:26.760 to be some

01:05:27.120 of it in

01:05:27.500 the air

01:05:27.800 and you

01:05:28.060 might get

01:05:28.480 some.

01:05:29.580 That's

01:05:29.980 true as

01:05:31.100 far as I

01:05:31.500 know that

01:05:32.280 you can get

01:05:32.860 it just

01:05:33.140 from being

01:05:33.500 in a room

01:05:34.020 that's got

01:05:34.400 a lot of

01:05:34.740 it.

01:05:35.400 But we

01:05:35.860 do think

01:05:36.360 that the

01:05:36.740 plume is

01:05:37.260 the primary

01:05:37.840 transmitter,

01:05:38.600 don't we?

01:05:39.240 Talking

01:05:39.580 directly to

01:05:40.300 you.

01:05:41.780 I'm

01:05:42.180 pluming it

01:05:42.720 right into

01:05:43.080 your mouth 0.72

01:05:43.520 from my

01:05:43.940 mouth.

01:05:45.340 So if

01:05:46.160 you think

01:05:46.540 that masks

01:05:47.020 don't work

01:05:47.760 because all

01:05:49.220 of the air

01:05:49.640 gets out

01:05:50.180 or most

01:05:51.320 of it gets

01:05:51.800 out,

01:05:52.080 which I

01:05:52.340 think is

01:05:52.680 true,

01:05:53.520 I'm not

01:05:53.920 disagreeing

01:05:54.520 that most

01:05:54.960 of it doesn't

01:05:55.500 get out

01:05:55.960 some way

01:05:56.680 or other.

01:05:57.460 I'm saying

01:05:57.980 that if

01:05:58.340 you remove

01:05:58.820 the plume,

01:06:00.120 you remove

01:06:00.640 the biggest

01:06:01.160 risk.

01:06:02.720 So if you

01:06:03.260 remove the

01:06:03.720 biggest risk,

01:06:04.880 does that

01:06:05.280 mean that

01:06:05.700 masks eliminate

01:06:06.540 the chance

01:06:07.060 that you

01:06:07.360 can get

01:06:07.720 it now?

01:06:08.880 It just

01:06:09.260 means it

01:06:10.140 might knock

01:06:10.560 a few

01:06:10.820 points off

01:06:11.380 the odds.

01:06:12.340 That's all.

01:06:13.740 So since

01:06:15.080 I believe

01:06:15.560 the plume

01:06:16.260 theory passes

01:06:17.860 all common

01:06:18.580 sense and

01:06:19.460 is widely

01:06:20.480 accepted by

01:06:21.500 the medical

01:06:21.920 community,

01:06:23.960 I look for

01:06:25.100 these two

01:06:25.500 confirmations.

01:06:26.600 One is do

01:06:27.160 the experts

01:06:27.640 say it,

01:06:29.020 and two,

01:06:29.840 does it

01:06:30.100 make sense

01:06:31.500 logically?

01:06:32.180 Yeah,

01:06:32.900 both.

01:06:33.840 So would

01:06:35.340 I be

01:06:36.360 shocked to

01:06:37.840 someday find

01:06:38.520 out that

01:06:38.900 masks made

01:06:39.440 no difference?

01:06:40.500 Nope.

01:06:41.680 Nope.

01:06:42.180 I wouldn't

01:06:42.440 be shocked

01:06:43.160 because we've

01:06:44.340 been surprised

01:06:45.160 about so many

01:06:45.780 things.

01:06:46.600 But I

01:06:48.580 would tell

01:06:48.960 you that

01:06:50.740 you have to

01:06:51.580 deny plumes

01:06:52.520 in order to

01:06:53.220 be saying

01:06:54.220 masks don't

01:06:54.940 work,

01:06:55.220 which is

01:06:56.020 completely

01:06:56.480 separate from

01:06:57.420 whether or

01:06:57.820 not they

01:06:58.160 should be

01:06:58.480 mandated.

01:06:59.380 So I'm

01:07:00.020 not a

01:07:00.280 mandate guy

01:07:00.900 at this

01:07:01.320 point in

01:07:02.560 the pandemic.

01:07:04.140 I don't

01:07:04.720 support the

01:07:05.760 mandates.

01:07:06.980 But I

01:07:09.720 think we'll

01:07:10.040 find out that

01:07:10.600 they made

01:07:10.940 some plume

01:07:12.660 related

01:07:13.200 difference.

01:07:14.380 That would

01:07:14.660 be my

01:07:15.080 prediction.

01:07:17.680 Data from

01:07:18.460 spread in

01:07:18.980 states doesn't

01:07:19.600 show a

01:07:19.940 difference.

01:07:20.280 there's one

01:07:23.340 thing that

01:07:24.580 you should

01:07:25.000 all know

01:07:25.940 by now.

01:07:27.560 That you

01:07:27.900 can't compare

01:07:28.660 the one

01:07:29.100 variable and

01:07:30.100 then see what

01:07:30.820 one state did

01:07:31.580 compared to

01:07:32.040 another.

01:07:32.960 So you know

01:07:33.280 that's not a

01:07:33.860 thing, right?

01:07:34.440 There's just

01:07:34.760 too many

01:07:35.060 variables.

01:07:36.180 So there's

01:07:36.880 nothing that

01:07:37.500 can be learned

01:07:38.200 if there's a

01:07:39.020 state with

01:07:39.460 masks and a

01:07:40.160 state without

01:07:40.580 masks.

01:07:41.560 You can't

01:07:41.860 compare them.

01:07:42.760 Because there

01:07:43.160 are too many

01:07:43.960 other things

01:07:44.600 that are

01:07:44.860 different about

01:07:45.360 them.

01:07:45.880 You would

01:07:46.220 never know

01:07:46.600 what the

01:07:46.900 variable was

01:07:47.500 that made

01:07:47.740 the difference.

01:07:50.280 Here's the

01:07:57.820 worst advice

01:07:58.480 I'll get

01:07:58.840 today.

01:07:59.440 I have to

01:07:59.980 call you

01:08:00.360 out on this

01:08:00.820 because I

01:08:01.260 tell you so

01:08:01.940 many times,

01:08:02.940 in so many

01:08:03.580 ways, not

01:08:04.320 to do what

01:08:04.840 you're doing

01:08:05.200 right now.

01:08:06.160 Here's the

01:08:06.680 comment.

01:08:07.380 Listen to

01:08:07.820 Megyn Kelly's

01:08:08.520 interview with

01:08:09.120 Atlantic Magazine

01:08:10.160 writer who

01:08:11.180 tore about

01:08:11.820 the masked

01:08:12.460 BS.

01:08:14.160 Do I

01:08:14.580 think that

01:08:15.640 somebody who's

01:08:16.200 a writer for

01:08:16.800 the Atlantic,

01:08:18.100 literally the

01:08:18.840 least credible

01:08:19.700 entity on

01:08:20.740 Earth, and

01:08:22.260 not a

01:08:22.720 scientist, that

01:08:24.200 the writer for

01:08:25.720 the least

01:08:26.280 credible entity

01:08:27.180 on Earth,

01:08:28.180 talking to

01:08:28.860 Megyn Kelly,

01:08:30.120 who's neither,

01:08:31.700 she's not an 1.00

01:08:32.380 expert in any

01:08:33.000 of this stuff,

01:08:34.280 that that

01:08:34.740 conversation,

01:08:36.020 you think

01:08:36.440 that's going

01:08:36.920 to tell me

01:08:37.320 something.

01:08:38.920 Have you

01:08:39.640 learned nothing?

01:08:40.240 one expert

01:08:46.260 talking to

01:08:47.260 somebody who

01:08:47.840 doesn't know

01:08:48.380 anything is

01:08:49.400 misleading.

01:08:50.540 It's not

01:08:51.000 useful.

01:08:52.400 It's just a

01:08:53.180 way to generate

01:08:53.800 fake news.

01:08:55.540 One expert

01:08:56.340 with somebody

01:08:57.640 on the other

01:08:58.100 side, fact

01:08:58.720 checking,

01:08:59.460 talking to a

01:09:00.100 host, could

01:09:00.940 be very good,

01:09:01.760 as long as

01:09:02.240 it's not

01:09:02.760 time-limited,

01:09:03.840 more like the

01:09:04.440 Joe Rogan

01:09:04.940 thing where

01:09:05.320 they can go

01:09:05.720 as long as

01:09:06.120 they need.

01:09:07.040 That could be

01:09:07.760 useful.

01:09:08.020 But 100%

01:09:09.400 of the time

01:09:09.860 you tell me,

01:09:10.940 listen to this

01:09:11.720 one person

01:09:12.440 talking to the

01:09:13.120 one person

01:09:13.580 who didn't

01:09:13.920 know anything,

01:09:15.060 100% of the

01:09:16.080 time I'm going

01:09:16.640 to tell you

01:09:16.940 I'm not going

01:09:17.360 to do that.

01:09:18.620 Because that's

01:09:19.220 how you get

01:09:19.680 stupid. 0.90

01:09:21.220 Listening to

01:09:22.020 that model

01:09:22.760 of information

01:09:23.700 makes you

01:09:24.280 stupid. 0.90

01:09:24.800 It doesn't

01:09:25.060 make you

01:09:25.340 smart.

01:09:26.360 It makes

01:09:26.820 you dumber

01:09:27.280 as you

01:09:27.720 watch.

01:09:29.180 Now,

01:09:29.480 sometimes that

01:09:30.180 one person

01:09:30.740 will be right

01:09:31.480 and then you

01:09:32.100 got lucky.

01:09:34.520 You sound

01:09:35.180 like my mom

01:09:35.800 questioning why

01:09:36.500 I bother

01:09:36.820 listening to

01:09:37.360 a cartoonist.

01:09:38.200 Well,

01:09:38.760 tell your

01:09:39.100 mother that

01:09:40.700 she's ignorant. 0.99

01:09:42.860 Tell her I

01:09:43.320 said that.

01:09:44.280 And that if

01:09:44.680 she were to

01:09:45.080 look at my

01:09:45.600 resume,

01:09:47.000 she might 0.99

01:09:48.160 find that the

01:09:48.720 cartooning is

01:09:49.420 the worst

01:09:49.940 thing I do.

01:09:52.040 Of all of

01:09:52.800 my skills,

01:09:53.480 cartooning might

01:09:54.060 be the worst

01:09:54.560 thing I do.

01:09:57.660 Even I

01:09:58.280 believe that.

01:09:58.820 on local,

01:10:03.560 somebody's

01:10:04.080 posting a

01:10:05.300 picture of

01:10:05.940 Ghislaine

01:10:07.000 Maxwell with

01:10:07.900 one of the

01:10:08.320 Atlantic

01:10:08.780 publishers or

01:10:10.540 editors or

01:10:11.120 something.

01:10:12.120 Yes, the

01:10:12.620 Atlantic is the

01:10:13.420 least credible

01:10:14.240 entity and

01:10:15.880 certainly a

01:10:16.600 writer who

01:10:17.620 did a bunch

01:10:18.100 of research

01:10:18.680 about masks.

01:10:20.780 No, I'm

01:10:21.400 not going to

01:10:21.700 believe any of

01:10:22.160 that.

01:10:23.340 None of

01:10:24.000 that.

01:10:27.240 Why don't

01:10:27.860 they have a

01:10:28.300 saliva test?

01:10:28.920 That's a good

01:10:29.280 question.

01:10:29.780 I don't know.

01:10:30.820 It must be that

01:10:31.560 the amount of

01:10:32.460 virus in your

01:10:33.040 nose is just

01:10:33.700 much greater

01:10:34.260 than in your

01:10:34.920 mouth.

01:10:36.240 I would

01:10:36.520 guess.

01:10:36.800 Oh, Steve

01:10:40.040 Jobs' wife 0.98

01:10:40.900 owns the

01:10:41.380 Atlantic.

01:10:42.240 That's right.

01:10:43.660 God, that's

01:10:44.200 boys, Steve

01:10:45.760 Jobs really

01:10:46.320 has to be

01:10:46.900 criticized for

01:10:48.040 one thing,

01:10:49.040 which is

01:10:49.400 giving his

01:10:50.840 widow that

01:10:51.360 much money

01:10:51.840 and she's

01:10:53.480 apparently not

01:10:53.980 using it

01:10:54.380 well.

01:10:57.400 They do

01:10:58.040 have a

01:10:58.300 saliva test

01:10:58.860 in Germany.

01:11:00.460 Interesting.

01:11:05.920 Oh,

01:11:06.800 good comment

01:11:08.360 here.

01:11:09.240 As I've

01:11:09.880 said many

01:11:10.440 times in

01:11:10.900 public, if

01:11:12.240 you're not

01:11:12.660 measuring

01:11:13.180 results, then

01:11:15.720 you're not

01:11:16.060 managing.

01:11:18.100 Right?

01:11:18.860 If you

01:11:19.400 can't tell,

01:11:20.020 well, we

01:11:20.240 did this and

01:11:20.800 we got this

01:11:21.300 impact, you're

01:11:21.860 not managing.

01:11:22.820 But likewise,

01:11:23.860 if you don't

01:11:24.880 have an

01:11:25.300 end point,

01:11:26.640 you're also

01:11:27.280 not managing.

01:11:29.360 What are

01:11:29.820 you trying to

01:11:30.180 accomplish?

01:11:31.880 Are we

01:11:32.660 trying to

01:11:33.080 accomplish

01:11:33.580 zero deaths

01:11:35.240 or are we

01:11:35.780 trying to

01:11:36.100 get back

01:11:36.420 to work?

01:11:36.980 You

01:11:37.100 can't do

01:11:37.460 both.

01:11:38.780 So as

01:11:39.920 long as

01:11:40.380 there's no,

01:11:41.040 let's say,

01:11:41.920 deadline for

01:11:42.980 getting back

01:11:43.420 to work or

01:11:44.600 there's no

01:11:45.240 hard objective,

01:11:46.940 like when we

01:11:47.540 reach this

01:11:48.260 quantitative

01:11:50.300 measure, the

01:11:51.780 masks come

01:11:52.500 off.

01:11:53.260 As long as

01:11:53.980 your leaders

01:11:54.460 are not

01:11:54.840 giving you

01:11:55.280 targets,

01:11:56.260 we know

01:11:57.140 that not

01:11:57.500 everybody

01:11:57.760 hits a

01:11:58.120 target, but

01:11:58.960 if they

01:11:59.180 don't have

01:11:59.460 targets, it's

01:12:01.220 not a

01:12:01.580 managed

01:12:01.880 situation.

01:12:02.940 You can

01:12:03.360 say it's a

01:12:03.820 completely

01:12:04.220 unmanaged

01:12:04.960 situation.

01:12:06.020 I want

01:12:06.340 a target.

01:12:07.320 Now, I

01:12:07.760 don't mind

01:12:08.180 if we

01:12:08.520 miss, and

01:12:09.160 I don't

01:12:09.460 mind if

01:12:09.900 things change

01:12:10.540 because they

01:12:10.880 always do,

01:12:11.800 but I

01:12:12.140 want my

01:12:12.820 government to

01:12:13.360 say, look,

01:12:14.160 we're going

01:12:14.800 to put

01:12:15.060 balls to

01:12:15.700 the wall

01:12:16.140 to open

01:12:16.960 up, I

01:12:18.120 don't know,

01:12:18.460 January

01:12:18.760 15th, pick

01:12:19.680 a date, and

01:12:21.320 we're going

01:12:21.780 to open up

01:12:22.280 on January

01:12:22.700 15th even

01:12:23.720 if it

01:12:24.120 hurts.

01:12:25.240 We're going

01:12:25.740 to do an

01:12:26.260 Afghan withdrawal.

01:12:27.740 You know

01:12:28.000 the Afghan

01:12:28.520 withdrawal method?

01:12:29.300 And if

01:12:30.920 you can't

01:12:31.300 figure out

01:12:31.680 how to

01:12:31.900 do it

01:12:32.140 right, do

01:12:33.480 it wrong,

01:12:34.420 because you

01:12:35.020 need to get

01:12:35.400 the fuck

01:12:35.740 out of

01:12:36.020 there, right?

01:12:37.280 So, same

01:12:38.060 with the

01:12:38.380 pandemic.

01:12:39.000 If we

01:12:39.380 don't know

01:12:39.960 how to

01:12:40.320 open up

01:12:40.980 right, do

01:12:42.740 it anyway.

01:12:44.220 Do it

01:12:44.580 wrong, right?

01:12:46.380 Because that's

01:12:46.900 where we are.

01:12:48.280 We're at the

01:12:48.900 point where if

01:12:49.440 you don't know

01:12:49.900 the exact right

01:12:50.540 way to do

01:12:50.960 it, don't

01:12:51.360 even be in

01:12:52.500 the conversation.

01:12:54.160 We're going

01:12:54.640 to do it

01:12:55.000 wrong if

01:12:56.060 you can't

01:12:56.460 tell us how

01:12:56.840 to do it

01:12:57.140 right, and

01:12:57.460 we don't

01:12:57.640 have a better

01:12:58.040 option.

01:12:59.180 And like

01:12:59.520 I said, and

01:13:01.380 I continue to

01:13:02.080 say, the

01:13:03.740 public will

01:13:04.220 decide.

01:13:05.280 Well, Charlemagne

01:13:05.880 the God had

01:13:06.460 a great

01:13:07.000 interview with

01:13:07.600 Kamala Harris.

01:13:08.380 You have to

01:13:08.940 see this.

01:13:09.860 Now, I'll

01:13:10.260 tell you, I

01:13:11.560 had never

01:13:11.980 been a big

01:13:12.400 fan of

01:13:13.040 Simone

01:13:13.760 Sanders, her

01:13:15.400 political

01:13:16.220 skills, but

01:13:18.080 I saw, I

01:13:19.960 think it was

01:13:20.300 Dana Perino

01:13:21.360 was complimenting

01:13:23.040 her and how

01:13:23.440 much potential

01:13:24.080 she had and

01:13:24.800 how good she

01:13:25.560 was.

01:13:26.360 And so that,

01:13:27.120 you know, because

01:13:27.460 Dana's very

01:13:28.020 smart, and

01:13:28.860 so I

01:13:29.140 thought to

01:13:29.420 myself, oh,

01:13:30.580 I'm going to

01:13:31.100 reconsider this.

01:13:32.660 And my

01:13:32.900 first impression

01:13:33.880 was she

01:13:34.260 just didn't

01:13:34.980 have the

01:13:35.320 goods, but

01:13:36.460 she did

01:13:37.160 Biden's

01:13:38.180 president, and

01:13:39.040 something must

01:13:39.880 be working.

01:13:40.900 But then

01:13:41.280 this happened.

01:13:43.220 Charlemagne

01:13:43.640 the God, on

01:13:44.360 a Zoom-type 0.90

01:13:45.320 call, is

01:13:46.320 talking to

01:13:47.000 Kamala Harris

01:13:47.760 and says

01:13:48.800 this, quote,

01:13:49.940 I want to

01:13:50.620 know who the

01:13:51.040 real president

01:13:51.640 of this

01:13:52.000 country is,

01:13:52.600 Joe Biden

01:13:53.120 or Joe

01:13:53.580 Manchin?

01:13:53.960 At this

01:13:55.740 point, Simone

01:13:57.740 Sanders jumps

01:13:59.280 in, you

01:14:00.040 know, over,

01:14:00.880 she has an

01:14:01.740 audio capability,

01:14:04.140 and she jumps 1.00

01:14:04.660 in to stop the

01:14:05.380 interview, saying

01:14:06.460 that the audio

01:14:07.160 stopped working

01:14:07.880 and Kamala

01:14:08.660 can't hear

01:14:09.260 him.

01:14:10.800 Now, here's

01:14:11.420 the funny

01:14:11.780 part.

01:14:13.080 It was obvious

01:14:13.960 she could hear

01:14:14.580 him.

01:14:15.620 And even

01:14:16.280 Charlemagne

01:14:16.840 the God, he

01:14:18.320 just turns to

01:14:19.080 his staff and

01:14:19.580 he just laughs,

01:14:20.220 he goes, she's

01:14:21.300 pretending she

01:14:22.080 can't hear me.

01:14:23.640 Oh, my God.

01:14:25.420 Oh, my God.

01:14:30.360 That was one

01:14:31.340 of the great

01:14:32.040 interview moments

01:14:33.400 of all time.

01:14:34.700 And, you

01:14:35.340 know, I got to

01:14:35.940 give it up for

01:14:37.140 Charlemagne,

01:14:38.420 because that

01:14:41.380 was some good

01:14:42.320 interviewing right

01:14:43.080 there.

01:14:44.360 The fact that

01:14:45.440 he didn't even

01:14:46.400 ask the question

01:14:47.220 because it was

01:14:48.020 so obvious that

01:14:49.020 she was lying,

01:14:49.940 he just smiles

01:14:50.800 and he turns

01:14:51.440 it aside while

01:14:52.180 the video's

01:14:52.900 still going.

01:14:53.700 He talks to

01:14:54.260 somebody off

01:14:54.740 camera saying,

01:14:55.780 they're pretending

01:14:56.260 they can't hear

01:14:56.880 me.

01:14:57.820 And then,

01:14:59.280 Kamala Harris,

01:15:02.420 realizing that

01:15:03.480 she's busted,

01:15:05.620 she realizes that

01:15:06.620 she's going to

01:15:07.020 have to answer

01:15:07.500 this question.

01:15:08.720 And here's the

01:15:09.400 part where my

01:15:10.580 respect for

01:15:11.400 Simone Sanders

01:15:12.300 just went to

01:15:13.460 a higher level.

01:15:15.420 She botched

01:15:16.880 the question.

01:15:18.380 Oh, my God.

01:15:19.560 It was such a

01:15:21.000 softball question.

01:15:22.300 And she botched 0.55

01:15:23.320 it.

01:15:23.720 She got all

01:15:24.280 angry.

01:15:24.860 It was

01:15:25.060 gesticulating.

01:15:26.180 Oh, let me

01:15:26.720 tell you.

01:15:27.400 And just went

01:15:28.320 completely mental.

01:15:30.620 I mean, it was

01:15:31.440 really a bad

01:15:32.460 look.

01:15:34.060 And here's the

01:15:35.020 question that is

01:15:36.400 fascinating me.

01:15:38.360 How did

01:15:39.200 Simone Sanders

01:15:40.580 know that she

01:15:42.460 couldn't answer

01:15:43.100 that question?

01:15:44.860 But she did.

01:15:47.300 Simone was

01:15:47.920 trying to stop

01:15:48.760 her from

01:15:49.140 answering that

01:15:49.700 question because

01:15:50.880 somehow she knew

01:15:51.940 that she couldn't

01:15:53.160 answer it.

01:15:54.300 And she was

01:15:55.120 totally right.

01:15:56.740 Totally right.

01:15:58.140 Now, I couldn't

01:15:59.020 have seen that

01:15:59.540 coming because

01:16:00.660 the question was

01:16:01.320 such a softball. 1.00

01:16:03.300 Here's me

01:16:04.040 answering the

01:16:04.600 question.

01:16:05.660 Who's running

01:16:06.200 the country?

01:16:07.220 Joe Biden or

01:16:08.020 Joe Manchin?

01:16:09.200 Well, obviously,

01:16:10.200 Charlemagne, Joe

01:16:11.260 Biden is the

01:16:11.840 president.

01:16:13.620 I'm sure you

01:16:14.540 haven't missed

01:16:15.020 that.

01:16:15.360 But we do

01:16:16.600 unfortunately have

01:16:17.260 a situation where

01:16:17.980 Congress is so

01:16:18.860 close that Joe

01:16:20.700 Manchin has more

01:16:21.540 power than he

01:16:22.220 ought to have.

01:16:23.280 And that's why

01:16:23.980 all the Democrats

01:16:24.940 should go out in

01:16:25.880 2022 and vote.

01:16:28.180 Because you don't

01:16:28.840 want Joe Manchin

01:16:29.860 to have this kind

01:16:31.760 of power.
