Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1598 Scott Adams： Mass Formation Psychosis, The Great Reset, Manchin and More

00:00:00.000 Oh, goodness. What a day. Can you believe it? You showed up on time, for those of you who are live.

00:00:08.680 And amazingly, those of you watching this on a recorded basis, you're on time too.

00:00:15.940 It's weird. Something about space-time. I don't understand it either.

00:00:20.320 But all I know is this is the best thing that's ever happened to you.

00:00:24.280 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams because of the Scott Adams part, plus the coffee.

00:00:29.060 And we're going to enjoy that right now.

00:00:33.400 Would you like to take it up a level? Anybody? Anybody?

00:00:37.000 Take it up a level? Yes? No?

00:00:39.600 I feel the yeses. I feel the yeses.

00:00:42.800 And so all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a gel,

00:00:46.300 a canteen jug, a glass, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:49.200 I like coffee.

00:00:50.220 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine to the day.

00:00:52.580 I think it makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:54.660 And this happens now. Go.

00:00:59.060 Ah, yeah, some of you weren't ready, were you?

00:01:03.800 See? You've got to be ready.

00:01:06.520 Let this be a cautionary tale.

00:01:09.160 Those of you who are thinking,

00:01:10.800 I've got plenty of time to pour my warm cup of coffee.

00:01:15.700 No, you don't always have time.

00:01:16.900 You've got to be ready.

00:01:17.540 Well, we've got a great show today.

00:01:23.860 Let's start it off with Joe Manchin killing the Build Back Better bill.

00:01:29.660 So Biden's Build Back Better bill got blown to parts to bits.

00:01:36.680 That's right.

00:01:38.500 Biden's Build Back Better got blown to bits.

00:01:41.680 And actually, it's just shelved because Joe Manchin was a big no.

00:01:45.040 Now, here's the thing.

00:01:49.900 How do you view this?

00:01:51.920 Like, what is the way you interpret the situation?

00:01:55.020 Well, Michael Schellenberger had an interesting take on it,

00:01:59.860 which I agree with totally,

00:02:01.820 that it was progressive dogmatism that killed it.

00:02:06.580 Progressive dogmatism.

00:02:08.800 Progressive dogmatism would be the opposite of...

00:02:12.040 What would that be the opposite of?

00:02:16.840 Science?

00:02:19.480 Economics?

00:02:22.200 Rational pragmatism?

00:02:25.140 Right.

00:02:25.740 And I think that is accurate.

00:02:27.960 And specifically, it's accurate because

00:02:31.060 a lot of it was clean energy related,

00:02:34.860 and it was just the wrong analysis.

00:02:37.060 If the Build Back Better bill had included, let's say,

00:02:43.500 expansions of nuclear and natural gas,

00:02:47.700 do you think that maybe they could have gotten a Republican vote?

00:02:51.420 Maybe not, because it would still be inflationary.

00:02:54.220 But they'd be a lot closer,

00:02:56.860 because at least they'd be compatible with science.

00:02:59.460 You know, if you're not even compatible with science,

00:03:03.460 and you're the party of science...

00:03:06.780 Now, remember, when I say,

00:03:08.260 hey, be compatible with science,

00:03:10.080 the first thought you're thinking to yourself is,

00:03:12.060 Scott, Scott, Scott.

00:03:13.800 They think they are.

00:03:15.760 They think they're compatible with science.

00:03:17.800 No, they don't.

00:03:19.000 No, they don't.

00:03:19.860 Because even the Democrats now understand

00:03:21.860 that the only reason we are where we are

00:03:24.320 is because we still have some nuclear,

00:03:25.940 we'd better get some more soon,

00:03:27.240 and that natural gas made a big difference on our CO2.

00:03:33.800 So anybody who actually looked at the data

00:03:36.080 and looked at the science

00:03:37.580 would not have put together a bill that looked this way.

00:03:41.980 There would have been much more focus

00:03:43.380 on the things that are scientifically

00:03:45.760 and economically demonstrated,

00:03:48.220 nuclear being chief among them.

00:03:50.600 And so here's the story I see.

00:03:53.420 I see that Joe Manchin took his party seriously.

00:03:58.660 That was the problem.

00:04:00.940 Joe Manchin took his party seriously.

00:04:04.100 It's the party of science, right?

00:04:06.660 And so he said, well, let's look at the science.

00:04:09.500 The party of not being, you know,

00:04:11.580 all crazy like the Republicans,

00:04:13.980 you know, with all their conspiracy theories

00:04:16.700 and whatever the Republicans are blamed of today.

00:04:19.800 They're the party of being rational and empathetic.

00:04:24.960 You want empathy and science.

00:04:26.500 That would be the things that the Democrats

00:04:29.540 would tell you that they're all about.

00:04:31.960 And so Joe Manchin, apparently calling their bluff,

00:04:36.300 said, all right, let's say those are our highest priorities,

00:04:39.440 science and empathy,

00:04:41.040 using science to be the best we can for citizens.

00:04:45.220 What would that look like?

00:04:46.120 And it doesn't look like the Build Back Better bill.

00:04:50.080 And by the way, how do we avoid noticing

00:04:58.780 that his last name is Manchin?

00:05:01.220 I mean, somehow that's important.

00:05:02.780 I don't know.

00:05:03.900 In our simulated world,

00:05:06.120 somehow that should be a signal

00:05:08.340 that he's a character in a play.

00:05:11.020 Anyway.

00:05:12.060 Goldman Sachs lowered its growth GDP estimates

00:05:21.500 and the stock markets taking a hit, I think, last I knew,

00:05:25.300 because the market is interpreting this as bad.

00:05:30.400 So in Goldman Sachs' take, they said,

00:05:33.180 well, you know, there won't be all this money

00:05:34.600 going into the economy.

00:05:36.080 And then when they talked about inflation,

00:05:38.100 this is the only context they talked about inflation.

00:05:42.700 That because of inflation,

00:05:44.920 it would be harder for this Build Back Better bill

00:05:47.000 to ever get signed in the future.

00:05:49.940 What's left out?

00:05:52.780 There's something sort of big left out, right?

00:05:55.680 The effect of inflation on the economy?

00:05:59.260 This is Goldman Sachs.

00:06:01.700 Did they forget inflation?

00:06:04.120 No, they didn't forget it.

00:06:05.320 They talked about it.

00:06:06.740 In the wrong context.

00:06:08.040 The only context they talked about it

00:06:10.580 was in a political context,

00:06:12.060 whether it would be harder to pass a bill.

00:06:14.500 I think you're supposed to include

00:06:17.040 what that would do to the actual economy

00:06:19.020 if your goal is to talk about the economy.

00:06:24.080 So here's Goldman Sachs

00:06:25.780 so obviously signaling

00:06:27.800 that they're making a political decision

00:06:29.720 and not any kind of economic decision.

00:06:33.560 Because an economic decision would look like this.

00:06:37.440 There would be a lot of stimulus added to the system.

00:06:39.920 That's on the positive side.

00:06:41.920 But on the negative side,

00:06:43.280 there would be extra inflation added to the system.

00:06:45.840 And we've looked at these two factors

00:06:47.880 and we've decided that one of them

00:06:49.800 is bigger than the other

00:06:50.640 and therefore we're in favor of it or against it.

00:06:54.100 That's what an honest analysis would look like.

00:06:57.700 Did they do that?

00:06:58.740 No, they said there won't be as much growth.

00:07:02.220 True.

00:07:03.440 And that the inflation will affect the politics.

00:07:07.280 True.

00:07:08.300 But you just left out the biggest factor,

00:07:11.020 the inflationary effect on the actual economy.

00:07:14.500 Like it didn't matter.

00:07:16.520 So if you ever thought that Goldman Sachs

00:07:18.240 was an honest player,

00:07:19.840 that should talk you out of it.

00:07:23.060 So congratulations for Joe Manchin

00:07:25.320 for calling the Democrats bluff

00:07:27.940 and actually being consistent with science.

00:07:31.400 And by the way,

00:07:32.560 did it matter that Joe Manchin

00:07:34.460 got an education from Michael Schellenberger

00:07:37.660 in person

00:07:38.900 about, you know,

00:07:41.100 the economics of climate change?

00:07:43.700 Yeah, it mattered.

00:07:45.160 I don't know if it changed the decision,

00:07:47.700 but yeah, that matters.

00:07:49.520 When you have,

00:07:50.600 I'm arguing,

00:07:51.740 the strongest persuader in the country right now,

00:07:54.280 that would be Schellenberger,

00:07:56.220 the strongest persuader in the country,

00:07:58.600 talked to this person,

00:08:00.160 and he stopped the whole deal by himself.

00:08:03.460 Stopped the whole deal.

00:08:04.420 I mean, not by himself.

00:08:05.280 He needed all the Republicans to be against it, too.

00:08:09.200 All right.

00:08:11.840 The first case of Omicron variant in the United States.

00:08:16.040 That can't be true.

00:08:17.040 Somebody's saying that in the comments.

00:08:19.020 We must have known it was here.

00:08:20.260 All right.

00:08:23.440 I'm going to give a little kudos to Joe Biden.

00:08:27.380 Now, those of you who are not long-time listeners,

00:08:31.380 I remind you of my technique.

00:08:34.360 If you want to criticize someone,

00:08:36.800 you should also protect yourself

00:08:38.940 from confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance

00:08:41.780 by saying as many good things as you can

00:08:44.280 about the subject of your criticism.

00:08:46.820 Because if you can't say anything good about him,

00:08:49.820 well, I'm not going to take you seriously.

00:08:53.180 So here I'm going to say something good genuinely

00:08:55.360 about Joe Biden.

00:08:57.940 He did something that was really clever,

00:09:01.080 and I called it out when he did it.

00:09:03.480 In other words, I said,

00:09:04.360 oh, this is going to work out.

00:09:05.460 This is clever.

00:09:06.440 And it worked.

00:09:07.940 Here's what it was.

00:09:09.220 There was a big call for packing the Supreme Court.

00:09:11.880 Joe Biden, to his credit,

00:09:15.940 did not favor that,

00:09:17.120 but a lot of his party did.

00:09:19.560 So what are you going to do?

00:09:21.420 You don't favor it,

00:09:23.000 and you have a pretty strong opinion about it,

00:09:24.920 but your party does,

00:09:26.120 and you've got to make them happy.

00:09:28.480 What do you do?

00:09:30.240 You put together a big old commission,

00:09:33.020 and you have them study it,

00:09:35.380 because that's how you kill something.

00:09:38.220 Because he knew, of course he knew,

00:09:39.840 that the commission would come back

00:09:41.680 and not recommend back in the court.

00:09:44.180 Don't you think he'd do that?

00:09:45.400 Of course he'd do that.

00:09:46.720 Because nobody's going to recommend it

00:09:50.780 if they're a serious academic.

00:09:53.540 And so that's exactly what happened.

00:09:56.600 Now, they didn't recommend for or against.

00:09:58.840 They simply laid out the argument.

00:10:01.180 But he got the same result.

00:10:03.300 He basically sent it to a committee to kill it.

00:10:05.420 I told you that on day one.

00:10:08.640 That's how you kill something.

00:10:09.840 You send it to the committee

00:10:10.840 to take all the energy out of it.

00:10:13.400 Because a lot of these things are about the people, right?

00:10:15.920 It's about Trump.

00:10:16.860 It's about Biden.

00:10:18.440 It's about the personalities and Kavanaugh and stuff.

00:10:21.720 But as soon as you take the personalities out of it

00:10:23.920 and give it to a committee,

00:10:25.460 all the energy just drains out of it.

00:10:27.800 And then once all the energy is gone,

00:10:29.260 it's just a bunch of academics saying,

00:10:30.880 you know, this would be a bad precedent.

00:10:32.280 Because every single person who gets elected,

00:10:35.380 it would just repack the court.

00:10:37.200 And therefore, we wouldn't have a system anymore.

00:10:40.880 It would literally eliminate the system

00:10:42.640 because you wouldn't have the checks and balances.

00:10:44.580 So, good move.

00:10:48.780 This is A-plus management.

00:10:51.300 I don't know if I've seen a cleaner kill

00:10:53.800 than what Biden did with this court-packing idea.

00:10:57.480 That was a clean kill.

00:10:59.040 And you could see him set it up from day one.

00:11:01.800 It was obviously a plan, obviously.

00:11:04.100 I mean, I'm not a mind reader,

00:11:05.360 but you don't have to go too far into people's thinking

00:11:08.020 to know this was an intentional play.

00:11:10.980 It's such a standard play.

00:11:12.740 Corporations do it all the time.

00:11:14.820 So, A-plus.

00:11:17.100 Good job.

00:11:19.000 How many of you have listened to the No Agenda episode?

00:11:22.720 A very popular podcast with Adam Curry and John Dvorak.

00:11:29.400 And on episode 1409, I guess it's a new one,

00:11:33.040 They Take Me On.

00:11:34.420 How many of you have heard that?

00:11:35.780 They're criticisms of my opinions.

00:11:41.360 Now, the take on this is that they destroyed me,

00:11:45.700 if you look at the comments.

00:11:48.960 So, let me give you context,

00:11:50.960 and then I'll tell you why this is fascinating.

00:11:53.420 Now, it's not just fascinating because it's about me.

00:11:56.180 It makes it a little more interesting for me, I guess.

00:11:58.540 But here's what you need to know.

00:12:00.100 Number one, I like these guys, Curry and Dvorak.

00:12:05.180 I've known Dvorak for, I don't know, a thousand years or something.

00:12:08.500 And I like them a lot.

00:12:10.840 Generally, we're very close to the same opinion on all kinds of stuff.

00:12:16.940 Not everything, but generally.

00:12:18.720 So, I would say that they would be closer to my, I don't know, view of life

00:12:23.740 than a lot of people.

00:12:25.840 And that's a compliment.

00:12:26.900 Of course, anybody who agrees with you, you think is smart, right?

00:12:32.200 So, this is important for the context.

00:12:35.660 Remember, these are not automatic, binary people

00:12:39.340 who are just against whatever I say, right?

00:12:42.120 These are people who are inclined to agree with me

00:12:45.600 because they've agreed with me enough in the past

00:12:48.580 that they would not be biased against me.

00:12:50.800 Now, they took on my opinions on ivermectin vaccinations

00:12:57.940 and about the mass formation psychosis.

00:13:04.240 But I want you to listen to it.

00:13:05.620 I'll play just one little part of it.

00:13:07.900 And I want you to listen to it

00:13:09.280 so you can learn to spot cognitive dissonance.

00:13:12.520 Now, the first question is, is it me?

00:13:15.420 Because that's part of their claim,

00:13:17.260 is that the cognitive dissonance or the hypnosis is affecting me.

00:13:21.600 And that's why my opinions don't make sense to them.

00:13:25.140 So, how would you know who is in cognitive dissonance and not?

00:13:30.380 I'm going to teach you this over and over again

00:13:32.000 because you have to see examples of it before you're good at it.

00:13:35.880 The first thing you do is look for the tells.

00:13:39.840 All right, here's one tell.

00:13:41.640 The over-laugh mocking.

00:13:43.740 All right?

00:13:45.860 And honest mocking would be somebody just laughing.

00:13:48.860 And you say, oh, this person is really amused.

00:13:51.520 It's pretty funny.

00:13:52.600 But the over-laugh is this kind.

00:13:56.100 He says, X, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:14:00.000 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:14:03.020 Sort of like a Larry David almost comic laugh.

00:14:07.180 So you'll see that tell in some of it.

00:14:10.060 And again, I'm sure they have genuine laughs.

00:14:13.740 but it doesn't even sound genuine when you hear it.

00:14:17.300 It sounds like trying too hard.

00:14:20.180 Does that make sense?

00:14:21.540 So listen for the trying too hard to laugh thing.

00:14:24.940 Here's another tell.

00:14:26.880 Mocking my credentials,

00:14:30.100 specifically the credentials as a hypnotist,

00:14:32.800 without actually having a specific complaint about it.

00:14:38.640 Oh, he's a hypnotist.

00:14:40.020 Oh, well, I guess he keeps mentioning that.

00:14:45.500 But what does that have to do with the argument?

00:14:47.180 It's actually useful context,

00:14:49.080 because a lot of people are new to any live stream, right?

00:14:51.980 You have to give the context.

00:14:54.160 So what's wrong with that?

00:14:55.540 So look for oversized criticisms of things

00:15:00.020 which are completely ordinary,

00:15:01.980 which is somebody telling you their credentials

00:15:03.720 before they tell you what they tell you.

00:15:06.900 All right.

00:15:08.080 Then here's the biggest one.

00:15:09.500 Look for them to, you could say, straw man,

00:15:13.380 but I don't think that's what's going on.

00:15:15.240 I think they're actually hallucinating my opinions.

00:15:19.400 So, and I want to play one for you

00:15:22.740 so that you can hear it yourself.

00:15:24.540 If you don't hear it live,

00:15:25.460 you might think I'm misinterpreting this.

00:15:27.860 So I don't know how far I am into this.

00:15:30.060 It's 30 minutes into No Agenda podcast number 1409.

00:15:35.680 So if you're looking for it yourself,

00:15:37.100 and it's definitely worth listening to.

00:15:38.320 It's interesting stuff.

00:15:40.500 So it's the No Agenda podcast.

00:15:42.140 You can find it everywhere.

00:15:43.180 Just Google it.

00:15:44.320 And it's show 1409,

00:15:46.180 and it's at about the 30-minute mark.

00:15:48.540 And I'm going to play a little bit of it here.

00:15:50.300 I don't think it's interesting.

00:15:51.560 He's the kind of guy you want to spar against.

00:15:53.780 So they're talking about me.

00:15:54.740 He's smart.

00:15:55.200 And I'm disappointed.

00:15:56.920 Now, you hear what they're doing?

00:16:00.020 So they're starting by saying that they're generally in favor of me,

00:16:03.060 which is exactly what I did with them,

00:16:04.860 which is also why I like them,

00:16:07.120 because that's exactly what they should be doing

00:16:08.960 to set up the conversation.

00:16:10.580 Because they need you to know

00:16:11.660 they're not biased against me in some general way.

00:16:14.700 It's just this technique.

00:16:15.860 So that's actually a good technique.

00:16:17.200 Really, with what he did.

00:16:18.660 But not surprised,

00:16:19.540 because I think I can prove that he, in fact, himself,

00:16:22.040 is trapped in the mass formation.

00:16:24.920 He's going to prove that I'm trapped in the mass formation.

00:16:27.960 In other words, that I'm hypnotized.

00:16:30.880 Have you ever heard of a projection?

00:16:34.080 I used to think it wasn't a thing.

00:16:36.200 Now I've seen so many cases of it

00:16:37.760 that it's undeniable at this point.

00:16:40.800 So that doesn't mean they're wrong, right?

00:16:43.260 So so far you just know that they're accusing me

00:16:46.020 of being hypnotized, essentially.

00:16:48.460 And I would accuse them of the same,

00:16:50.680 which I'm doing right now.

00:16:52.600 So so far it's a tie.

00:16:54.340 You wouldn't be able to tell anything

00:16:55.760 one way or the other from this.

00:16:57.640 And also, sorry, it could be.

00:17:01.020 I think I can show it.

00:17:02.680 You'll show it.

00:17:03.720 Okay.

00:17:04.820 And I also believe that you and I have heard

00:17:07.660 the professor's explanation of mass formation

00:17:10.000 as it pertains to COVID

00:17:11.260 well enough so that we comprehend it

00:17:14.280 and can reiterate it and explain it

00:17:16.020 and measure Scott Adams debunking

00:17:19.740 versus how we believe it works.

00:17:22.800 Now, this all came out of the

00:17:26.400 I guess he watched Dr. Peter McCullough

00:17:29.060 on The Rogan Show.

00:17:31.660 And that's where McCullough brought up

00:17:33.880 the mass formation.

00:17:35.280 Now, Scott Adams, as you pointed out,

00:17:36.660 he is a he's a trained hypnotist.

00:17:38.880 In fact, we should probably say

00:17:40.940 right off the bat,

00:17:41.840 we have proof that he is a very

00:17:43.760 well-trained hypnotist.

00:17:45.700 I mean, if you've seen his wife,

00:17:46.920 you know this guy definitely is a hypnotist.

00:17:51.360 Thank you.

00:17:53.540 I'm not saying they don't make good points.

00:17:57.340 They do make good points.

00:17:58.800 I'm not saying they don't make good points.

00:18:00.520 I'm not saying they don't make good points.

00:18:01.520 I'm not saying they don't make good points.

00:18:02.120 Thank you.

00:18:03.780 Come to me.

00:18:05.060 Come to me.

00:18:05.460 Come to me.

00:18:09.020 And the reason, well, so,

00:18:12.300 that's what, unfortunately,

00:18:13.680 he didn't really do the research

00:18:15.260 about the theory

00:18:16.560 or refresh his memory,

00:18:18.040 which is a big...

00:18:20.260 Incorrect.

00:18:22.420 I read about the theory

00:18:23.880 before I commented.

00:18:25.580 Go.

00:18:25.720 Mistake.

00:18:27.340 And he starts off

00:18:28.360 with one of my favorite things

00:18:31.840 that we talk about here,

00:18:33.660 just in general

00:18:34.580 about Dr. Peter McCullough.

00:18:36.120 I think he's not good

00:18:37.480 at evaluating data.

00:18:39.120 So when he says

00:18:40.000 that some countries

00:18:40.940 have good experience

00:18:42.420 with ivermectin,

00:18:43.280 that's just false.

00:18:44.660 Okay.

00:18:45.640 John, you want to weigh in on that?

00:18:47.160 You want to weigh in on that?

00:18:48.780 Or should we listen?

00:18:50.100 All right.

00:18:50.580 So you heard my claim, right?

00:18:52.520 So the claim they played

00:18:53.880 was me saying

00:18:54.980 that there's no country

00:18:56.240 we've identified

00:18:57.120 that ivermectin

00:18:59.040 has solved the problem, right?

00:19:00.940 Now, some of you disagree,

00:19:02.440 but later I'll say

00:19:03.420 if you research it,

00:19:04.380 you'll find that there are

00:19:05.300 no countries that fit that.

00:19:07.040 Now, remember the claim.

00:19:09.440 The claim is

00:19:10.140 there are no countries, right?

00:19:12.320 Now, watch the response

00:19:13.440 to my claim

00:19:14.200 that there are no countries

00:19:15.920 that seem to have a good result.

00:19:18.280 No countries.

00:19:18.940 Well, that's a pretty

00:19:22.560 much of a whopper.

00:19:24.160 I mean, there are,

00:19:25.440 again, I've had this website

00:19:27.500 that I keep referring to,

00:19:28.640 which has changed

00:19:29.400 this basic URL.

00:19:31.360 It used to be

00:19:31.880 ivmmeta.com,

00:19:34.040 but now it's iv9,

00:19:36.280 something or other.

00:19:37.100 I don't have it handy.

00:19:39.100 But there's about 70 studies

00:19:41.540 showing its effectiveness

00:19:42.800 that have been peer-reviewed,

00:19:45.040 and then the FDA itself

00:19:46.440 on their one webpage

00:19:47.620 where they say,

00:19:48.700 oh, you shouldn't use ivermectin

00:19:50.380 because it's unproven.

00:19:51.880 They have a link

00:19:52.920 on that exact page

00:19:54.100 to 75 more studies.

00:19:57.360 Did he hear it?

00:19:59.240 So what did I say?

00:20:01.300 And then what did he say?

00:20:03.060 He called it a whopper,

00:20:04.360 meaning that what I was saying

00:20:05.720 was clearly wrong or a lie.

00:20:08.600 And then what was his response?

00:20:11.640 It was a different topic.

00:20:12.880 I said there are no countries

00:20:16.340 that have demonstrated

00:20:17.620 that it's working.

00:20:19.440 He changed it

00:20:20.420 to that there are studies

00:20:23.080 that are peer-reviewed.

00:20:25.280 Did you hear me say

00:20:26.540 in the clip he played

00:20:28.420 that there are no peer-reviewed

00:20:30.540 ivermectin studies?

00:20:32.300 I've never said that.

00:20:34.080 I've said the opposite.

00:20:35.640 I've said there are lots

00:20:36.540 of ivermectin studies

00:20:38.360 that show it works,

00:20:39.220 but they all have

00:20:41.020 certain limitations of size

00:20:43.040 or no control

00:20:44.880 or it was an observational

00:20:46.460 and stuff like that.

00:20:48.120 Now, you can see this clearly, right?

00:20:50.940 Because you're my judges.

00:20:52.980 You're the ones who are judging

00:20:54.060 who's in cognitive dissonance.

00:20:56.000 Did you clearly see

00:20:57.100 that he changed the subject

00:20:59.280 to debunk me

00:21:00.820 while actually just being

00:21:02.140 on the wrong topic?

00:21:03.000 Did he ever debunk

00:21:05.160 the claim that there are countries

00:21:07.560 that there are no countries

00:21:10.020 or towns or anything

00:21:10.940 that have solved their problem

00:21:12.020 with ivermectin?

00:21:13.160 Now, if anybody's new to me,

00:21:14.780 I'm not telling you

00:21:15.620 ivermectin doesn't work.

00:21:18.120 I'm not telling you that

00:21:19.400 because I've actually said that,

00:21:21.620 you know,

00:21:21.960 if I got in this situation,

00:21:23.460 I'd probably take it,

00:21:24.880 risk management.

00:21:26.140 I think we're going to find

00:21:27.300 that it probably doesn't work,

00:21:29.080 but that's just statistical,

00:21:30.620 you know, prediction.

00:21:32.740 If I had to bet my life on it,

00:21:35.540 I'd say there's a solid

00:21:36.880 10% chance

00:21:37.860 it could make a difference.

00:21:38.960 I'd take it

00:21:39.820 if my doctor agreed, et cetera.

00:21:42.940 So they've hallucinated

00:21:45.080 an entire opinion

00:21:46.120 that I don't hold,

00:21:49.120 that there's somehow

00:21:50.260 no studies that show it works.

00:21:52.240 Of course.

00:21:52.920 I've talked about it at length.

00:21:55.280 All right.

00:21:55.700 So that's the first tell.

00:21:57.620 Let me give you a vote so far.

00:21:59.840 Who's in cognitive dissonance

00:22:01.520 so far?

00:22:03.920 Is it me or is it them?

00:22:06.880 Yeah, it looks like them, right?

00:22:09.300 I mean, I'm not the one

00:22:10.280 who can tell.

00:22:10.860 That's why I need

00:22:11.440 a third party.

00:22:13.380 But of course,

00:22:13.880 you're biased for me,

00:22:14.820 so that's also a problem.

00:22:16.680 Let's see what else they say.

00:22:17.960 I mean, where there's smoke,

00:22:20.060 there's fire when it comes

00:22:21.100 to the study of Ivermectin.

00:22:23.480 So John says,

00:22:25.200 where there's smoke,

00:22:25.960 there's fire,

00:22:26.860 meaning that there's

00:22:27.600 so many indications

00:22:28.880 that it works.

00:22:30.500 How could it all be wrong?

00:22:33.500 That's not really

00:22:34.500 a sophisticated analysis

00:22:36.080 of anything, is there?

00:22:37.440 Because do you know

00:22:38.100 what else has lots of smoke?

00:22:41.060 Everything that's not true.

00:22:43.300 Everything that you thought

00:22:44.320 was true for a while,

00:22:45.600 maybe from Russia collusion

00:22:48.200 to you name it.

00:22:49.580 They all have plenty of smoke,

00:22:51.200 but they're not true.

00:22:54.780 How much smoke is there

00:22:56.240 that Hillary Clinton

00:22:57.220 has massively been

00:22:58.960 executing people?

00:23:01.160 Lots.

00:23:02.560 I don't think it's true,

00:23:04.020 personally.

00:23:05.480 I mean, I could be surprised,

00:23:07.040 but I don't think it's true.

00:23:08.920 There are plenty of things

00:23:10.160 that have tons of smoke

00:23:12.600 that aren't true.

00:23:14.060 Do you know why we do

00:23:14.880 randomized controlled trials?

00:23:16.340 I don't think John Dvorak does.

00:23:20.100 Now, that's not fair.

00:23:21.200 I don't know what he thinks

00:23:21.960 in his head.

00:23:22.860 But the argument

00:23:24.340 for a randomized controlled trial

00:23:26.120 is that you never want

00:23:27.480 to say this.

00:23:28.700 You never want to say

00:23:29.500 there's so much smoke

00:23:30.420 that there must be fire.

00:23:31.720 That's what you're trying

00:23:32.460 to avoid with science.

00:23:35.700 Science is trying to cure

00:23:36.860 this problem of people saying

00:23:38.640 they can see it

00:23:39.260 with their own eyes.

00:23:40.420 I'm looking right at it.

00:23:41.420 Look at all this evidence.

00:23:43.620 That's the problem

00:23:44.660 that science cures.

00:23:47.940 Right?

00:23:48.640 So he's in the problem

00:23:50.160 instead of what science cures

00:23:51.600 while claiming

00:23:52.420 a scientific,

00:23:54.000 I don't know,

00:23:55.120 insight.

00:23:56.440 Let's go ahead.

00:23:56.760 And then, of course,

00:23:57.840 there's the use

00:24:01.200 and discontinued use

00:24:03.300 and then reuse

00:24:04.060 and watching the numbers

00:24:05.900 go up and down.

00:24:06.720 So that is a bad thing

00:24:09.320 to say.

00:24:09.760 Well, let's listen

00:24:11.220 how he arrives at it.

00:24:12.300 It's just...

00:24:13.320 And by the way,

00:24:14.500 Peter McCullough

00:24:15.260 who used to...

00:24:16.520 was the editor

00:24:17.520 of a couple of journals

00:24:19.080 where all you did

00:24:20.340 was look at data

00:24:21.480 and just kind of

00:24:22.560 belies...

00:24:23.420 ...kind of overlooks

00:24:24.420 that fact.

00:24:25.060 He was a peer reviewer

00:24:27.960 himself, as it were.

00:24:29.400 I think he's...

00:24:30.320 All right.

00:24:31.900 So Dvorak is saying

00:24:33.580 that I'm overlooking

00:24:34.500 the fact that

00:24:35.340 Dr. McCullough

00:24:36.540 is very experienced

00:24:38.200 in peer review

00:24:39.140 of looking at studies.

00:24:42.360 Did I overlook that?

00:24:45.380 Do you think

00:24:46.120 I overlooked that?

00:24:47.400 No.

00:24:48.100 I'm saying that

00:24:48.860 if you took somebody

00:24:49.640 who was a data analysis expert

00:24:51.460 and you sat them next

00:24:53.140 to Dr. McCullough

00:24:54.120 with all of his...

00:24:55.240 all of his experience

00:24:56.860 at looking at peer-reviewed

00:24:58.780 or being a peer-reviewed person,

00:25:00.700 I would say

00:25:01.500 it wouldn't be close.

00:25:02.600 Those are different expertise.

00:25:04.760 That would be like me saying,

00:25:06.640 well, I've been paying

00:25:07.860 attention to medicine

00:25:09.040 for a long time.

00:25:10.320 Read a lot of articles.

00:25:11.800 So I'm as good

00:25:12.460 as a doctor.

00:25:14.300 I mean, I've been

00:25:14.820 reading up on it.

00:25:15.940 I have experience

00:25:16.740 with my own medical problems

00:25:18.160 and stuff.

00:25:19.360 So I'm basically

00:25:20.320 a doctor, aren't I?

00:25:21.900 No.

00:25:22.820 No.

00:25:23.340 If you don't study

00:25:24.540 data analysis,

00:25:26.060 you don't get there

00:25:27.060 just by looking

00:25:27.720 at studies.

00:25:30.280 You're going to have

00:25:30.940 to go a lot deeper

00:25:31.660 than that.

00:25:33.180 I'm not good

00:25:34.200 at evaluating data.

00:25:38.280 All right.

00:25:39.140 So that's the exaggerated laugh.

00:25:42.260 Did you hear it?

00:25:43.360 So I said that

00:25:44.520 the doctor I was talking about

00:25:46.700 was highly skilled

00:25:48.380 in his areas of expertise,

00:25:50.280 but they do not include

00:25:52.320 looking at data.

00:25:53.700 And I'll give

00:25:54.500 the exact example

00:25:55.500 that he's not aware

00:25:56.880 that there's no country

00:25:57.940 that's had good success

00:25:59.680 and probably not aware

00:26:01.420 of maybe some other stuff.

00:26:03.100 All right.

00:26:03.900 But let me play

00:26:04.740 the laugh again

00:26:05.460 because you have

00:26:06.140 to hear the laugh.

00:26:08.140 That was almost

00:26:09.020 as if we scripted it, John.

00:26:10.480 I love that.

00:26:11.860 So when he says

00:26:12.740 that some countries...

00:26:14.680 Let's see if I can play that.

00:26:15.360 Why would you do that?

00:26:17.260 We got everything

00:26:17.940 on a roll.

00:26:19.040 We know what to do.

00:26:20.260 We know exactly

00:26:21.000 what to do.

00:26:22.140 Actually, we should

00:26:22.760 talk about that.

00:26:23.660 Booster, booster.

00:26:24.300 What do they need

00:26:25.000 to change?

00:26:26.000 All right.

00:26:26.260 Well, I think I could

00:26:28.220 go on too long

00:26:28.840 with that.

00:26:29.380 So the point is

00:26:29.920 they make some claims

00:26:30.800 that I think

00:26:32.300 that ivermectin

00:26:33.260 is nonsense.

00:26:35.020 Nope.

00:26:35.920 Nope.

00:26:37.040 That does not

00:26:37.900 capture my claim.

00:26:39.460 And they said

00:26:40.080 that I'm, quote,

00:26:41.080 all in on vaccinations.

00:26:44.520 Those of you

00:26:45.280 who have been watching me

00:26:46.140 since the beginning,

00:26:47.660 would you say

00:26:48.260 that that is a good

00:26:49.080 characterization

00:26:49.680 of my opinion,

00:26:51.240 that I have been, quote,

00:26:52.280 all in on vaccinations?

00:26:55.080 No.

00:26:56.260 It's not even

00:26:57.360 fucking close.

00:26:59.180 It's not even

00:26:59.780 in the ballpark.

00:27:02.040 I'm literally

00:27:02.800 the only person

00:27:03.500 I know

00:27:04.040 who predicted

00:27:05.300 the vaccinations

00:27:06.040 wouldn't work.

00:27:08.260 Do you know

00:27:08.760 anybody else?

00:27:09.580 I mean,

00:27:09.780 some experts said it

00:27:10.940 before I said it,

00:27:12.520 and that's actually

00:27:13.480 what informed me.

00:27:15.100 The reasoning

00:27:16.080 that I used

00:27:16.780 was the expert said,

00:27:18.140 we've been working

00:27:19.580 on a coronavirus

00:27:20.300 vaccination

00:27:21.120 for, I don't know,

00:27:21.940 decades.

00:27:23.000 We're not even close.

00:27:24.440 There's nothing

00:27:25.580 that has changed

00:27:26.300 except the pandemic.

00:27:27.980 Why in the world

00:27:28.620 would we suddenly

00:27:29.300 know how to make

00:27:29.980 this thing

00:27:30.460 that we haven't

00:27:31.020 known how to make

00:27:31.540 for 20 years

00:27:32.220 and we've been

00:27:32.960 trying hard?

00:27:34.400 And I listened to that

00:27:35.180 and I said,

00:27:35.640 yeah, that's a pretty

00:27:37.060 good point.

00:27:38.160 What are the odds

00:27:38.820 that by coincidence

00:27:39.780 the pandemic

00:27:41.160 would hit at exactly

00:27:42.180 the time we knew

00:27:42.940 how to make a vaccination

00:27:43.940 we never knew

00:27:44.540 how to make?

00:27:46.020 I mean, it's possible.

00:27:47.520 I was,

00:27:48.320 I wanted to feel

00:27:49.200 optimistic about it,

00:27:50.540 but I also predicted

00:27:51.820 it wouldn't work.

00:27:52.680 And then it didn't

00:27:54.740 as a vaccination.

00:27:56.220 Now, I do say

00:27:57.060 that the vaccinations

00:27:57.820 work in the sense

00:28:00.360 that reducing the chance

00:28:01.480 of major illness.

00:28:03.800 That's the official word.

00:28:05.360 I mean, I didn't do

00:28:06.300 any studies myself,

00:28:07.680 but the official word

00:28:08.680 is it reduces your risk.

00:28:11.980 So, if you see

00:28:14.560 the maniacal laugh

00:28:15.600 and all that,

00:28:16.740 I don't know what happened

00:28:17.420 to Curry and Dvorak,

00:28:19.840 but it looks like

00:28:20.440 cognitive dissonance

00:28:21.460 because I think

00:28:22.720 they're watching

00:28:23.220 their ivermectin opinion

00:28:24.620 go to hell. 0.98

00:28:27.180 They probably thought

00:28:28.240 binary about me

00:28:29.940 that I was either

00:28:31.120 for vaccinations

00:28:32.360 or against them.

00:28:33.820 Both of those

00:28:34.480 are bad opinions

00:28:35.240 in my opinion.

00:28:40.780 Scott has gradually

00:28:42.260 lost my respect

00:28:43.160 on these issues.

00:28:44.680 I think his investments

00:28:45.640 may be part

00:28:46.600 of his blind spot.

00:28:48.380 Investments?

00:28:48.980 What investments

00:28:51.340 do I have?

00:28:52.280 I had an investment

00:28:53.180 a little while

00:28:53.780 in Regeneron,

00:28:54.620 but I sold it.

00:28:56.160 So, I don't have it

00:28:56.740 and I just held it

00:28:57.820 for like a few months.

00:29:01.040 I don't think,

00:29:02.080 I don't know

00:29:02.700 of any investments

00:29:03.700 I have that would

00:29:04.340 have any bearing

00:29:05.360 on this.

00:29:07.140 But when you say

00:29:08.040 that I've,

00:29:09.620 actually,

00:29:11.760 let me respond

00:29:12.980 to this directly.

00:29:13.720 I'm always open

00:29:15.700 to you saying

00:29:16.260 what you disagree

00:29:16.960 with me.

00:29:18.080 But I've lost

00:29:18.760 my respect.

00:29:20.240 Fuck you.

00:29:21.860 Fuck you.

00:29:23.440 Just fuck you 1.00

00:29:24.220 and everybody

00:29:24.660 who talks like that.

00:29:26.060 Really.

00:29:27.460 I don't want to hear

00:29:28.340 about you losing

00:29:29.100 your respect for me

00:29:29.900 because I didn't ask

00:29:30.680 for your fucking respect. 0.89

00:29:32.240 I asked for you

00:29:33.060 to maybe engage

00:29:33.900 in the argument.

00:29:35.320 So, fuck you.

00:29:36.560 I don't have any respect

00:29:37.360 for you either.

00:29:38.200 Zero.

00:29:39.400 Zero.

00:29:39.800 All right.

00:29:43.720 I mentioned

00:29:46.240 that the publication

00:29:48.160 Revolver

00:29:48.920 had a investigative story

00:29:51.060 about the possibility

00:29:52.880 that January 6th

00:29:53.920 had some FBI operatives

00:29:55.480 pushing what happened.

00:29:58.060 Now, I claimed

00:30:00.060 that it looked

00:30:02.180 like a credible reporting.

00:30:06.160 But somebody sent me

00:30:07.740 a chart that showed

00:30:09.020 the various media entities

00:30:11.400 on a graph

00:30:12.620 so that you could see

00:30:13.580 if they were credible

00:30:15.440 or not.

00:30:16.060 It had Revolver

00:30:17.600 like way down

00:30:18.420 in the not credible area

00:30:20.460 with InfoWars

00:30:21.540 according to

00:30:22.520 whoever put that chart together.

00:30:24.400 And I think to myself,

00:30:25.940 who in the world

00:30:26.720 could put together

00:30:27.520 a chart of media bias?

00:30:30.280 Who could do that?

00:30:31.860 How in the world

00:30:32.600 would you not have

00:30:33.500 CNN

00:30:34.120 and New York Times

00:30:36.420 as the least

00:30:37.240 credible entities?

00:30:39.980 Who gets to say

00:30:41.020 what's credible?

00:30:41.620 It's like

00:30:43.460 if any of us

00:30:44.460 knew what was true,

00:30:45.640 we wouldn't need

00:30:46.500 the news.

00:30:47.680 We're all confused.

00:30:49.760 All right.

00:30:50.860 So, but here's my question.

00:30:52.560 I haven't seen

00:30:53.240 anybody debunk it.

00:30:54.480 Now, keep in mind

00:30:55.100 that Revolver

00:30:55.740 did not state

00:30:57.320 the FBI

00:30:58.540 was behind it.

00:30:59.500 They don't have

00:31:00.220 that position.

00:31:01.700 They just said,

00:31:02.620 here's the guy

00:31:03.860 who looks like the FBI.

00:31:05.360 Here's a guy

00:31:05.980 who's not indicted

00:31:06.840 that looks suspicious.

00:31:07.920 Here's another one

00:31:08.520 who's not indicted

00:31:09.300 who looks suspicious.

00:31:10.880 If you put them

00:31:11.460 all together,

00:31:12.680 it does tell

00:31:13.480 a pretty powerful story

00:31:14.680 if the story

00:31:16.620 is complete enough,

00:31:18.120 you know, right,

00:31:18.640 if they didn't

00:31:19.040 leave out any context

00:31:20.020 and if what they reported

00:31:22.260 was true

00:31:22.820 and they show

00:31:24.300 their sources

00:31:24.800 so you don't have

00:31:26.100 to wonder

00:31:26.580 where they got it from.

00:31:27.600 They show you.

00:31:29.080 So, has anybody

00:31:30.520 seen a debunk

00:31:32.100 of the Revolver

00:31:33.140 reporting?

00:31:33.640 Because I haven't yet.

00:31:36.480 It could be.

00:31:37.020 I'm open to it.

00:31:45.340 Somebody says

00:31:46.260 the January 6th

00:31:47.360 looks like

00:31:47.920 the Charlottesville

00:31:48.760 thing.

00:31:50.400 Well, you know,

00:31:52.680 the Charlottesville

00:31:53.760 March,

00:31:55.880 I've got a lot

00:31:56.940 of questions.

00:31:58.500 I don't think

00:31:59.500 it was organic.

00:32:02.320 Clearly,

00:32:03.180 there were

00:32:03.560 racists

00:32:04.360 who organized it.

00:32:05.360 I mean,

00:32:05.700 that's all

00:32:06.140 clearly in the record.

00:32:08.580 But who runs

00:32:09.700 the racists?

00:32:11.620 Do you think

00:32:12.080 that the racists

00:32:12.940 who organized

00:32:13.980 that

00:32:15.400 are completely

00:32:17.000 devoid

00:32:17.560 of any outside

00:32:18.260 influence?

00:32:20.740 They're not.

00:32:22.920 They're not.

00:32:25.160 So,

00:32:25.960 to the extent

00:32:27.460 that we don't know

00:32:28.180 who was backing

00:32:28.860 the racists,

00:32:30.260 we don't know

00:32:31.020 even what happened.

00:32:32.360 Nothing.

00:32:32.660 And there's

00:32:35.080 no curiosity

00:32:35.780 about it.

00:32:37.840 I mean,

00:32:38.380 I could tell you

00:32:38.880 what I know,

00:32:39.960 but I'm not

00:32:40.620 going to.

00:32:41.980 Let me just

00:32:42.660 tell you that

00:32:43.120 there's a little

00:32:44.120 bit of a deeper

00:32:44.780 mystery on

00:32:45.780 what powers

00:32:47.700 were behind

00:32:48.220 that that

00:32:48.720 has come to

00:32:49.540 light.

00:32:50.600 But maybe

00:32:51.060 someday we'll

00:32:52.020 know.

00:32:53.160 Elon Musk

00:32:54.040 says he'll be

00:32:54.660 paying more

00:32:55.080 than $11

00:32:56.340 billion in taxes

00:32:57.780 this year

00:32:58.300 in response

00:32:59.360 to all the

00:32:59.940 people like

00:33:00.860 Elizabeth Warren

00:33:01.600 saying he's

00:33:02.200 not doing

00:33:02.600 enough.

00:33:03.780 And I'm

00:33:04.140 wondering,

00:33:04.980 is that the

00:33:06.340 most that

00:33:06.780 anybody has

00:33:07.300 ever paid

00:33:07.760 in taxes?

00:33:09.260 Certainly

00:33:09.740 in one year,

00:33:10.520 right?

00:33:11.460 Did he just

00:33:12.640 break the

00:33:13.120 world record

00:33:13.900 in tax

00:33:14.480 paying?

00:33:16.900 How would

00:33:17.540 you like to

00:33:17.960 be so rich

00:33:18.780 that you

00:33:19.660 can solve

00:33:20.180 every problem?

00:33:21.040 If you

00:33:24.040 think about

00:33:24.480 it, how

00:33:25.800 many of

00:33:26.160 you could

00:33:26.480 have solved

00:33:26.860 this problem

00:33:27.460 of, you

00:33:27.840 know,

00:33:28.020 somebody says

00:33:29.480 you don't

00:33:29.700 pay enough

00:33:30.080 taxes?

00:33:31.640 Elon Musk

00:33:32.360 can say,

00:33:32.780 well, how

00:33:33.400 about I

00:33:33.660 throw $11

00:33:34.400 billion at

00:33:35.300 it?

00:33:35.900 Will that

00:33:36.280 make you

00:33:36.600 stop talking?

00:33:38.600 And you

00:33:38.900 think to

00:33:39.180 yourself,

00:33:40.180 well, it

00:33:41.960 would make

00:33:42.280 me stop

00:33:43.060 talking the

00:33:43.560 same way.

00:33:45.240 So it's

00:33:45.780 like, all

00:33:46.100 right, if

00:33:47.340 you're

00:33:47.520 complaining about

00:33:48.120 my taxes,

00:33:48.720 how about

00:33:48.960 $11

00:33:49.300 billion?

00:33:49.640 Will that

00:33:51.020 shut you 0.76

00:33:51.460 up?

00:33:52.580 Apparently

00:33:53.060 not.

00:33:53.740 It didn't

00:33:54.260 work.

00:33:54.600 That's the

00:33:54.900 funny part.

00:33:55.840 People will

00:33:56.420 still say he

00:33:56.960 doesn't pay

00:33:57.320 enough taxes.

00:34:00.140 To me, the

00:34:00.960 funniest part

00:34:01.520 would be that

00:34:01.980 this won't

00:34:02.440 work.

00:34:03.240 But it's a

00:34:03.880 hell of a

00:34:04.280 try.

00:34:06.680 And I just

00:34:07.620 love the

00:34:08.020 fact that we

00:34:09.440 always forget

00:34:10.460 that Tesla

00:34:11.320 doesn't do

00:34:11.880 marketing.

00:34:13.360 I don't

00:34:13.960 think SpaceX

00:34:14.540 does.

00:34:15.420 And that

00:34:16.240 Musk is 0.98

00:34:17.280 their marketing.

00:34:18.660 So when he

00:34:19.060 does something

00:34:19.540 like this,

00:34:20.840 do you know

00:34:21.220 what really

00:34:21.620 happened?

00:34:22.080 Do you know

00:34:22.300 what the

00:34:22.500 real story

00:34:22.920 is?

00:34:24.100 What's the

00:34:24.580 real story

00:34:25.120 of why he

00:34:25.640 sold stock?

00:34:27.860 Anybody?

00:34:29.560 What's the

00:34:30.240 real reason

00:34:30.800 he sold

00:34:31.260 his stock?

00:34:33.160 Public

00:34:33.680 relations?

00:34:37.180 Publicity,

00:34:37.820 somebody says.

00:34:39.420 Stock

00:34:39.940 options?

00:34:41.680 To make

00:34:42.360 a profit?

00:34:43.080 No.

00:34:43.480 No.

00:34:43.520 he had to

00:34:46.820 exercise

00:34:47.140 options?

00:34:47.840 Was that

00:34:49.920 it?

00:34:50.920 I thought

00:34:51.760 there was

00:34:52.020 some

00:34:52.180 voluntary

00:34:52.680 part of

00:34:53.120 that.

00:34:54.320 Thank you.

00:34:55.460 Diversification.

00:34:56.980 Yeah.

00:34:57.660 If you make,

00:34:58.960 if you're the

00:34:59.360 richest person

00:35:00.000 in the world,

00:35:00.580 but your

00:35:01.000 wealth is

00:35:01.440 entirely in

00:35:02.360 a few

00:35:02.800 different

00:35:03.100 entities,

00:35:04.200 you need

00:35:04.900 to get

00:35:05.140 some of

00:35:05.460 that out

00:35:05.800 of there.

00:35:06.860 You need

00:35:07.520 to get

00:35:07.760 some of

00:35:08.100 your money

00:35:08.440 out of

00:35:09.580 the things

00:35:10.060 that have

00:35:10.560 a specific

00:35:11.340 risk.

00:35:12.580 Because it

00:35:13.180 could be

00:35:13.460 that tomorrow

00:35:14.180 somebody builds

00:35:15.640 a fusion

00:35:16.480 engine and

00:35:17.100 puts it in

00:35:17.540 a Prius,

00:35:18.360 and the

00:35:18.540 next thing

00:35:18.880 you know

00:35:19.080 nobody's

00:35:19.500 buying the

00:35:19.860 Tesla.

00:35:20.640 So any

00:35:21.160 company has

00:35:21.900 the odds

00:35:22.360 of going

00:35:22.700 to zero.

00:35:24.000 No matter

00:35:24.660 how big

00:35:26.160 or successful

00:35:26.740 the company

00:35:27.220 is, it

00:35:27.520 still has a

00:35:28.040 chance of

00:35:28.380 going to

00:35:28.700 zero.

00:35:29.760 So the

00:35:31.100 smart thing

00:35:31.620 to do is

00:35:32.360 to find

00:35:32.820 an excuse

00:35:33.500 to take

00:35:35.100 money off

00:35:35.540 the table

00:35:35.980 and put

00:35:36.440 it somewhere

00:35:36.800 else where

00:35:37.340 nothing can

00:35:37.920 happen to

00:35:38.360 you.

00:35:38.560 You're

00:35:38.740 invulnerable.

00:35:40.060 So Elon

00:35:40.660 Musk does 0.99

00:35:41.360 a totally

00:35:41.940 normal

00:35:42.460 economic

00:35:44.060 move,

00:35:45.080 which is

00:35:45.540 to take

00:35:45.940 some money

00:35:46.300 off the

00:35:46.600 table and

00:35:47.180 diversify,

00:35:48.940 but he

00:35:49.280 turns it

00:35:49.720 into this

00:35:50.160 public

00:35:50.480 spectacle

00:35:51.060 of paying

00:35:52.020 more taxes

00:35:52.660 than any

00:35:53.120 human and

00:35:54.360 dunking on

00:35:57.000 Elizabeth Warren

00:35:57.720 and Bernie

00:35:58.140 Sanders.

00:35:59.960 Any time

00:36:00.720 you think

00:36:01.040 that anything

00:36:01.440 is done

00:36:01.880 for one

00:36:02.440 reason,

00:36:04.260 sometimes,

00:36:05.100 but it's

00:36:05.460 very simple

00:36:06.040 people who

00:36:06.520 do that.

00:36:07.560 When Elon

00:36:08.120 Musk does 0.99

00:36:08.600 something,

00:36:09.400 there are

00:36:09.600 probably five

00:36:10.200 reasons,

00:36:11.560 right?

00:36:12.100 And we

00:36:12.700 can think

00:36:13.320 of three

00:36:13.640 of them

00:36:13.900 and two

00:36:14.280 of them

00:36:14.500 he thinks

00:36:14.880 of and

00:36:15.200 you haven't

00:36:15.820 even thought

00:36:16.220 of.

00:36:16.880 So yeah,

00:36:17.280 there are

00:36:17.440 like five

00:36:17.940 reasons to

00:36:18.520 do this.

00:36:18.960 One of

00:36:19.440 them was

00:36:20.700 that he's

00:36:21.900 responding to

00:36:22.580 the criticism.

00:36:23.640 The others

00:36:24.240 are even

00:36:24.580 better,

00:36:25.300 but it was a

00:36:26.080 perfect exit

00:36:26.740 point because

00:36:27.740 he can make

00:36:28.220 it look like

00:36:28.680 he's not

00:36:29.060 cashing out.

00:36:30.260 He made

00:36:30.940 cashing out

00:36:31.840 look like he

00:36:32.820 was paying

00:36:33.200 taxes.

00:36:34.600 Could you

00:36:34.960 do that?

00:36:35.360 Would you

00:36:37.140 be smart

00:36:37.660 enough to

00:36:38.680 figure out

00:36:39.220 how to

00:36:39.520 make taking

00:36:40.880 your money

00:36:41.400 off the

00:36:41.800 table and

00:36:42.400 keeping it

00:36:42.960 forever,

00:36:44.320 cashing out?

00:36:45.800 Could you

00:36:46.180 make cashing

00:36:46.760 out look like

00:36:47.400 you're paying

00:36:48.280 taxes?

00:36:49.360 No,

00:36:49.800 you're not

00:36:50.100 that good.

00:36:51.100 He totally

00:36:51.900 pulled this

00:36:52.360 off.

00:36:53.120 This is one

00:36:53.520 of the

00:36:53.700 greatest

00:36:54.080 persuasion

00:36:55.280 plays you'll

00:36:56.880 ever see.

00:36:57.720 I mean,

00:36:57.960 it's A+.

00:36:58.920 As Greg

00:37:01.340 Guffield said

00:37:01.940 the other

00:37:02.200 day,

00:37:02.420 and I love

00:37:02.780 this phrase,

00:37:03.720 the public

00:37:04.100 needs a

00:37:04.520 hostage

00:37:04.880 negotiator to

00:37:06.560 help us get

00:37:07.120 out of the

00:37:07.640 mandates and

00:37:08.380 lockdowns and

00:37:09.300 whatever else

00:37:09.900 is coming at

00:37:10.420 us.

00:37:11.460 And the

00:37:11.960 reason is

00:37:12.380 because the

00:37:12.800 government's

00:37:13.220 the wrong

00:37:13.580 tool.

00:37:17.920 But the

00:37:18.560 public needs

00:37:19.120 to weigh

00:37:19.580 risk versus

00:37:20.800 life, and

00:37:22.240 we weigh

00:37:22.660 things differently.

00:37:23.940 So in

00:37:24.900 almost every

00:37:25.660 other situation,

00:37:26.840 it's better to

00:37:27.560 let the

00:37:27.860 government do

00:37:28.900 the republic

00:37:29.580 thing and

00:37:30.200 represent us.

00:37:31.460 This is just

00:37:32.260 the one unique

00:37:33.200 situation where

00:37:34.040 they're the

00:37:34.360 wrong tool.

00:37:35.960 If a war

00:37:36.800 breaks out,

00:37:38.080 you don't want

00:37:38.560 the public

00:37:38.980 voting on it.

00:37:40.020 You want the

00:37:40.660 government to

00:37:41.140 say, whoa,

00:37:41.520 we got this,

00:37:42.680 let us handle

00:37:43.600 this until we

00:37:45.000 can sort out

00:37:45.700 what's real,

00:37:46.780 and then the

00:37:47.060 public can get

00:37:47.640 involved.

00:37:48.800 But with the

00:37:49.460 pandemic, they 0.99

00:37:50.380 were never the

00:37:50.940 right tool,

00:37:51.680 except in the

00:37:52.300 fog of war

00:37:52.840 stage, in which

00:37:53.600 they were.

00:37:54.220 But at this

00:37:54.720 point, they're

00:37:55.060 not the right

00:37:55.500 tool anymore.

00:37:56.960 They were at

00:37:57.860 the beginning.

00:37:58.900 And the

00:38:00.160 trouble is that

00:38:00.760 the public

00:38:01.300 doesn't have

00:38:01.780 any way to

00:38:02.240 organize, short

00:38:04.080 of the

00:38:04.400 government itself.

00:38:06.660 And the

00:38:07.380 groups that

00:38:08.020 might be

00:38:08.480 resisting the

00:38:09.200 mandates are

00:38:09.800 too diverse.

00:38:12.160 So you've got

00:38:12.560 the black

00:38:13.140 Americans might

00:38:14.100 be resisting at

00:38:15.060 some level,

00:38:16.060 you've got

00:38:16.440 conservatives at

00:38:17.460 some level,

00:38:18.160 and they tend

00:38:18.920 not to join

00:38:19.720 together.

00:38:20.180 There are some

00:38:20.600 cases where they

00:38:21.840 are joining

00:38:22.240 together.

00:38:22.580 But I would

00:38:23.760 say that we

00:38:24.760 need a hostage

00:38:25.540 negotiator.

00:38:27.900 Adam Dopamine

00:38:28.860 suggested,

00:38:31.500 indirectly

00:38:31.960 suggested,

00:38:33.140 maybe somebody

00:38:33.720 like a

00:38:34.340 Trump.

00:38:36.900 Somebody like

00:38:37.620 a Trump.

00:38:38.680 But I would

00:38:39.900 say he's too

00:38:40.560 divisive.

00:38:42.180 So it would

00:38:42.700 be amazing if

00:38:43.720 he did that.

00:38:44.340 It would be

00:38:44.660 one of the

00:38:45.080 greatest spectacles

00:38:46.000 of all time.

00:38:46.780 If he just

00:38:48.080 played it straight

00:38:48.780 and literally

00:38:49.720 said, look,

00:38:50.160 let me just

00:38:50.720 negotiate this

00:38:51.540 and see if

00:38:52.760 we can come

00:38:53.120 up with a

00:38:53.600 date or a

00:38:54.680 metric that

00:38:56.040 sets us

00:38:56.700 free.

00:38:57.780 But here's

00:38:58.740 what I think

00:38:59.120 we need.

00:38:59.500 I think we

00:38:59.940 need a

00:39:01.100 hostage

00:39:01.480 negotiator

00:39:02.140 who's not

00:39:02.560 too identified

00:39:04.140 with one

00:39:04.820 side or the

00:39:05.360 other to

00:39:06.460 simply pick

00:39:07.180 a date and

00:39:08.480 say, we're

00:39:09.020 all taking

00:39:09.420 our masks

00:39:09.980 off, if

00:39:11.620 you're in a

00:39:12.020 state that

00:39:12.520 has masks,

00:39:13.840 we're all

00:39:14.260 going to take

00:39:14.620 our masks

00:39:14.980 off on

00:39:15.580 whatever day.

00:39:17.640 And, you

00:39:18.000 know, that's

00:39:19.360 just the day.

00:39:20.600 We're just

00:39:21.180 going to take

00:39:21.560 our masks

00:39:21.960 off on

00:39:22.340 that day.

00:39:23.600 And maybe

00:39:24.360 March 1st.

00:39:26.520 If I had

00:39:27.160 to pick a

00:39:27.540 time, I'd

00:39:28.500 say March

00:39:28.900 1st.

00:39:29.920 Now, you'd

00:39:30.840 all like it

00:39:31.260 to be sooner,

00:39:31.900 right?

00:39:32.540 But we do

00:39:33.080 have the

00:39:33.540 Omicron.

00:39:34.420 We don't

00:39:34.740 know everything

00:39:35.840 that we need

00:39:36.340 to know about

00:39:36.800 it.

00:39:37.360 And, of

00:39:37.680 course, we

00:39:38.020 could change

00:39:38.440 that date

00:39:38.900 if something

00:39:39.600 came up.

00:39:40.760 March 1st,

00:39:41.540 change it.

00:39:42.780 But I think

00:39:44.220 we need to

00:39:44.560 have a date.

00:39:46.600 And I think

00:39:48.360 it would be

00:39:48.760 responsible to

00:39:49.620 have that

00:39:49.960 date, you

00:39:50.640 know, not

00:39:51.020 right away.

00:39:52.540 Give us a

00:39:53.100 little time to

00:39:53.780 sort out what's

00:39:54.720 true and

00:39:55.140 what's not.

00:39:57.580 Yeah, and

00:39:58.300 anybody who

00:39:59.260 says it

00:39:59.580 should have

00:39:59.800 been a year

00:40:00.200 ago, I

00:40:01.060 get what

00:40:01.400 you're saying.

00:40:01.740 I get it.

00:40:07.480 Anyway, if

00:40:08.520 you can think

00:40:09.020 of who'd be

00:40:09.460 a good hostage

00:40:10.520 negotiator,

00:40:12.360 but please

00:40:14.680 don't pick

00:40:15.120 me.

00:40:16.220 I feel like

00:40:16.880 I'd be

00:40:17.280 semi-good

00:40:18.280 at it, but

00:40:19.600 I don't

00:40:20.640 want it to

00:40:21.080 be me.

00:40:22.320 Sounds like a

00:40:23.040 terrible job.

00:40:23.620 All right.

00:40:28.320 Let's talk

00:40:28.880 about the

00:40:29.160 Great Reset.

00:40:31.000 You know,

00:40:31.240 before that,

00:40:32.260 let me clarify

00:40:32.920 my thoughts

00:40:33.480 about the

00:40:34.160 mass

00:40:35.900 formation

00:40:36.400 psychosis.

00:40:38.200 I don't

00:40:38.600 think I've

00:40:38.960 done a

00:40:39.220 good job

00:40:39.780 of telling

00:40:40.260 you my

00:40:41.600 objections to

00:40:43.120 it.

00:40:43.640 So the

00:40:43.980 idea behind

00:40:44.640 the mass

00:40:45.540 formation

00:40:46.280 psychosis is

00:40:48.000 that a set

00:40:49.000 of conditions

00:40:49.600 have happened

00:40:50.200 that could 0.68

00:40:50.720 lead to

00:40:51.220 totalitarianism.

00:40:53.400 Now, one

00:40:54.020 of the

00:40:54.140 things that

00:40:54.560 the No

00:40:55.540 Agenda

00:40:55.980 podcast said

00:40:57.420 is that

00:40:58.600 since I

00:40:59.500 was discounting

00:41:00.360 that as

00:41:00.940 being, you

00:41:01.580 know, afraid

00:41:03.080 of Hitler, 0.83

00:41:04.400 they said,

00:41:04.920 oh, no,

00:41:05.400 it's not about

00:41:06.140 Hitler, it's 1.00

00:41:06.580 about totalitarianism,

00:41:08.240 to which I

00:41:08.740 say, okay,

00:41:10.280 okay, it's

00:41:11.720 not about

00:41:12.200 Hitler, it's 1.00

00:41:13.360 about totalitarianism,

00:41:14.920 which is about

00:41:15.540 Hitler. 0.57

00:41:16.420 All right.

00:41:16.920 I mean, I get

00:41:17.540 that there's a

00:41:18.020 difference, but

00:41:19.360 we're not really

00:41:20.560 talking about a

00:41:21.200 real distinction

00:41:22.400 here.

00:41:23.180 The fear is

00:41:23.960 that powerful

00:41:25.620 people who

00:41:26.340 don't have

00:41:26.720 your interests

00:41:27.180 will take

00:41:28.220 control.

00:41:29.320 So here's

00:41:29.760 what my

00:41:30.480 take is on

00:41:31.220 mass formation

00:41:32.980 psychosis.

00:41:34.560 It doesn't

00:41:35.440 add anything

00:41:36.180 to the

00:41:37.820 understanding,

00:41:39.000 because we're

00:41:40.100 always in it.

00:41:41.620 We're always

00:41:42.480 in a mass

00:41:43.000 formation

00:41:43.460 psychosis.

00:41:44.340 In other

00:41:44.620 words, we're

00:41:45.440 always confused,

00:41:47.380 we're always

00:41:48.380 not sure what's

00:41:49.100 happening, we're

00:41:49.660 always frightened

00:41:50.260 about the

00:41:50.700 future,

00:41:51.200 why?

00:41:53.840 Why is that

00:41:54.540 always the

00:41:55.020 case?

00:41:57.000 It's because

00:41:57.600 of the fake

00:41:58.040 news.

00:41:59.840 Did you catch

00:42:00.680 this play?

00:42:02.560 All right, you

00:42:03.020 heard about the

00:42:04.080 SUV that killed

00:42:05.240 people.

00:42:06.100 It wasn't the

00:42:06.720 person driving,

00:42:07.460 it was the

00:42:07.780 SUV.

00:42:08.540 You heard about

00:42:09.080 the stone that

00:42:10.080 threw itself.

00:42:12.680 We keep hearing

00:42:13.540 about all these

00:42:14.080 things that are

00:42:14.500 happening on its

00:42:15.080 own, there's no

00:42:15.600 person happening

00:42:16.260 doing.

00:42:16.620 And now we

00:42:17.980 have the

00:42:18.340 mass formation

00:42:19.340 psychosis.

00:42:20.600 Huh.

00:42:21.460 That's sort

00:42:22.080 of like nobody's

00:42:22.780 problem, is it?

00:42:24.040 I mean, nobody

00:42:24.520 caused it.

00:42:26.560 There's no name

00:42:27.480 you could put on

00:42:28.080 that.

00:42:28.940 Oh, it just

00:42:29.380 happened on its

00:42:30.780 own.

00:42:32.080 Here's my

00:42:32.520 problem with it.

00:42:34.240 It's the fake

00:42:34.960 news that is the

00:42:37.920 problem.

00:42:38.720 There is a name

00:42:39.480 to put on this.

00:42:40.180 If the fake

00:42:41.440 news were telling

00:42:42.840 us the truth, or

00:42:44.500 alternately, just

00:42:46.000 one truth, even

00:42:47.360 if it were fake,

00:42:48.320 we'd all be on the

00:42:49.180 same side, and we

00:42:50.140 wouldn't be so

00:42:50.680 worried.

00:42:51.740 But the business

00:42:52.560 model of the fake

00:42:53.260 news is to keep

00:42:54.260 you uneasy.

00:42:57.160 It's to isolate

00:42:58.420 you and divide

00:42:59.380 you.

00:43:00.460 That's how the

00:43:00.960 business model

00:43:01.520 works.

00:43:01.940 It wants

00:43:02.180 everybody worked

00:43:02.920 up and clicking

00:43:04.220 on stuff.

00:43:05.480 So when you

00:43:06.100 say, oh, the

00:43:06.780 problem is a

00:43:07.680 mass formation

00:43:09.320 psychosis, you

00:43:11.180 have shifted

00:43:11.880 blame from the 0.92

00:43:13.580 obvious guilty

00:43:14.460 parties.

00:43:15.840 The guilty

00:43:16.580 parties are the

00:43:17.580 people running

00:43:18.180 the fake news,

00:43:19.620 who have removed

00:43:21.240 all confidence

00:43:22.080 from the public

00:43:22.980 and scared us

00:43:24.560 to death. 0.75

00:43:25.520 If you scare

00:43:26.480 us at the same

00:43:27.700 time you're

00:43:28.260 teaching us that

00:43:29.180 all the news is

00:43:30.340 fake, how is the

00:43:32.380 public going to

00:43:32.880 feel?

00:43:34.240 Well, it's going

00:43:35.080 to be exactly the

00:43:36.120 situation to create

00:43:37.840 a mass formation

00:43:38.880 psychosis.

00:43:40.580 So I'm not

00:43:41.720 saying that the

00:43:42.600 conditions don't

00:43:43.500 exist because they

00:43:44.240 clearly do.

00:43:45.540 I'm not saying

00:43:46.420 that that doesn't

00:43:47.180 contribute to the

00:43:49.060 psychosis because it

00:43:50.300 clearly does.

00:43:51.720 All I'm saying is

00:43:52.960 it's a diversion.

00:43:55.740 It doesn't add

00:43:56.460 anything.

00:43:57.860 We're basically

00:43:58.620 adding water to

00:43:59.780 the ocean and

00:44:00.540 telling you it got

00:44:01.240 wetter.

00:44:03.080 Yeah, you might be

00:44:03.860 a little bit more

00:44:04.540 confused now.

00:44:05.420 You might be a

00:44:05.940 little bit more

00:44:06.880 aware that the

00:44:08.520 facts are fake.

00:44:10.220 But we've always

00:44:11.280 been here.

00:44:12.340 We always were

00:44:13.200 confused and

00:44:13.940 hypnotized.

00:44:15.100 We always were

00:44:16.160 one inch away

00:44:17.320 from totalitarianism.

00:44:19.840 Do you know what

00:44:20.620 prevents it?

00:44:22.660 Do you know what

00:44:23.500 has prevented us

00:44:24.980 so far from

00:44:26.920 descending into

00:44:27.700 totalitarianism in

00:44:29.320 the United States?

00:44:30.800 Do you know what?

00:44:31.720 partial credit for

00:44:35.840 whoever is saying

00:44:36.420 the Second

00:44:36.820 Amendment, which

00:44:37.480 is a lot of

00:44:37.940 people on the

00:44:38.460 Locals platform.

00:44:39.880 I was going to

00:44:40.460 say the

00:44:40.760 Constitution.

00:44:42.200 Second Amendment

00:44:42.860 being, you know,

00:44:43.760 you could say

00:44:44.280 that's the foundation

00:44:46.460 of the Constitution

00:44:47.760 in a way.

00:44:49.000 You could make

00:44:49.660 that argument.

00:44:50.320 So I'll take

00:44:51.460 Second Amendment

00:44:52.040 as a correct

00:44:53.480 answer.

00:44:53.880 But I was

00:44:54.140 looking for

00:44:54.500 a Constitution.

00:44:56.120 We do have a

00:44:57.000 set of checks and

00:44:57.880 balances, however

00:44:59.120 imperfect, that keep

00:45:01.220 totalitarian at bay,

00:45:03.040 totalitarianism at bay.

00:45:05.380 Now, if we pack

00:45:06.820 the Supreme Court,

00:45:09.140 totalitarianism is

00:45:10.200 coming.

00:45:12.040 And do you know

00:45:13.100 who knew that?

00:45:14.200 Joe Biden.

00:45:15.480 Even Joe Biden

00:45:16.260 knew you don't

00:45:16.720 pack the Supreme

00:45:17.420 Court because you

00:45:18.340 get rid of your

00:45:18.880 checks and balances

00:45:19.620 and then, yeah,

00:45:20.820 then the mass

00:45:21.460 formation psychosis

00:45:22.540 is going to eat

00:45:23.260 you alive.

00:45:24.560 It'll eat you

00:45:25.260 alive as soon as

00:45:26.560 you take that

00:45:26.980 protection away.

00:45:28.240 But the

00:45:29.140 Constitution has,

00:45:30.300 for a few

00:45:31.320 hundred years,

00:45:32.120 provided us a

00:45:33.060 weird protection

00:45:33.780 against it.

00:45:35.080 It's like a

00:45:35.840 self-correcting

00:45:36.680 system, which is

00:45:37.920 what makes it so

00:45:38.680 magic.

00:45:40.100 And so I do

00:45:42.640 not deny that

00:45:44.600 there is a mass

00:45:45.320 formation psychosis.

00:45:46.960 I simply add to

00:45:48.320 it that it's

00:45:49.380 always here.

00:45:51.140 Maybe a little

00:45:51.780 worse, like adding

00:45:52.920 water to the

00:45:53.480 ocean, but not in

00:45:54.860 a way that makes,

00:45:55.960 doesn't help you

00:45:56.720 understand anything,

00:45:57.880 doesn't tell you

00:45:58.520 what to do about

00:45:59.120 it, doesn't

00:45:59.540 predict better,

00:46:00.280 doesn't do

00:46:00.620 anything.

00:46:02.180 So the

00:46:03.120 cleaner story is

00:46:05.100 the fake news

00:46:06.040 has so messed

00:46:06.860 with us that

00:46:08.180 we're looking for

00:46:09.120 any kind of

00:46:09.860 explanation and

00:46:10.880 that causes 0.52

00:46:11.380 psychosis.

00:46:12.540 So look at the

00:46:13.400 fake news,

00:46:14.120 don't be diverted

00:46:15.020 by a clever but

00:46:17.060 accurate, clever but

00:46:19.280 accurate idea about

00:46:21.260 the mass formation

00:46:21.960 psychosis.

00:46:23.500 It's a diversion,

00:46:25.160 but true-ish,

00:46:26.400 true-ish.

00:46:26.880 There's nothing

00:46:27.600 about it that's

00:46:28.140 untrue.

00:46:30.960 Let's talk about

00:46:31.840 the Great Reset.

00:46:33.500 How many of you

00:46:34.300 believe that the

00:46:35.180 Great Reset is a

00:46:36.940 clever plot by the

00:46:38.120 elites to gain

00:46:40.140 power and control?

00:46:43.460 How many of you

00:46:44.340 believe that?

00:46:45.700 Yes, yes, yes.

00:46:46.900 Yep, yep, yep.

00:46:48.240 Yes, yes, yes.

00:46:49.320 Yes, yes, yes.

00:46:50.520 Well, the Great Reset,

00:46:52.120 in my opinion, is

00:46:53.620 nothing like that.

00:46:54.880 Let me tell you

00:46:55.900 what I think it is.

00:46:57.380 So it's based on

00:46:58.580 apparently in June

00:46:59.200 2020, there was

00:47:01.380 the Great Reset,

00:47:02.720 was the theme of

00:47:03.620 this annual meeting

00:47:05.220 of the World

00:47:05.740 Economic Forum.

00:47:08.060 So the first part

00:47:08.940 that's true is

00:47:10.060 there was the

00:47:11.600 elites did get

00:47:12.440 together and talk

00:47:13.820 about the Great

00:47:14.660 Reset.

00:47:15.360 So that part's,

00:47:16.780 everybody agrees is

00:47:17.820 true, that's just a

00:47:18.920 fact.

00:47:19.160 The topics, it was

00:47:22.860 convened by Prince

00:47:23.660 Charles and blah,

00:47:24.560 blah, blah, and

00:47:25.040 other people, and

00:47:26.320 some of the topics

00:47:28.860 were climate change

00:47:31.860 stuff.

00:47:33.200 All right.

00:47:33.540 And so the idea was

00:47:34.680 to use the current

00:47:36.220 pandemic and all the

00:47:39.020 chaos that it creates,

00:47:40.340 along with any chaos

00:47:41.940 that comes from

00:47:42.600 climate change itself,

00:47:43.600 to say, let's rethink

00:47:45.660 everything and see if

00:47:47.420 this is a situation to

00:47:48.700 fix things.

00:47:51.700 Now, is that

00:47:54.220 a conspiracy?

00:47:56.620 If a bunch of

00:47:57.540 people say, hey,

00:47:58.340 we've got a situation

00:47:59.580 to fix a bunch of

00:48:00.740 things, like climate

00:48:02.300 and, you know,

00:48:03.640 fairness and other

00:48:04.740 things, because it's

00:48:06.480 completely overt,

00:48:07.560 they're showing you

00:48:08.480 their work, they're

00:48:09.260 doing it in public.

00:48:10.500 Is that a conspiracy?

00:48:15.120 And is what they

00:48:16.440 want power and

00:48:17.220 control?

00:48:18.220 I always reject

00:48:19.420 that argument,

00:48:21.320 because, again,

00:48:22.100 that's like adding

00:48:22.880 water to the ocean.

00:48:24.200 Everybody wants power

00:48:25.160 and control.

00:48:26.640 Everybody.

00:48:27.600 You want it over

00:48:28.240 yourself.

00:48:29.420 Some people want it

00:48:30.220 over other people so

00:48:31.220 that they can have a

00:48:32.640 better life themselves.

00:48:34.340 But we all want power

00:48:35.540 and control.

00:48:36.520 There's no exceptions to

00:48:37.540 that.

00:48:38.020 So when you say that

00:48:38.820 these Great Reset

00:48:40.440 people are looking for

00:48:41.320 power and control,

00:48:43.060 that's true, but it

00:48:44.040 doesn't say anything.

00:48:45.700 It doesn't add anything.

00:48:48.020 Because the Great Reset

00:48:49.360 isn't like one thing,

00:48:50.760 it's just a whole bunch

00:48:51.580 of people doing things

00:48:53.000 in a condition which

00:48:55.040 is rare, which is we

00:48:56.840 can stop and rethink

00:48:57.840 everything.

00:48:59.440 I would say that the

00:49:00.720 pandemic is a great

00:49:01.760 reset.

00:49:02.860 We've rethought

00:49:03.660 commuting.

00:49:05.140 We've rethought

00:49:05.920 health care.

00:49:06.740 We've rethought

00:49:07.360 pandemic stuff.

00:49:09.700 We've rethought

00:49:10.300 everything.

00:49:11.720 So it is a great

00:49:13.920 reset in the sense

00:49:14.980 that you can clear

00:49:16.000 the slate and say,

00:49:17.460 all right, all right,

00:49:18.140 if we were going to

00:49:19.140 start today, how would

00:49:21.400 you build back better,

00:49:22.720 so to speak?

00:49:23.840 So I don't find

00:49:25.600 anything even slightly

00:49:27.040 alarming about the

00:49:28.720 Great Reset because

00:49:30.300 it's basically just a

00:49:32.480 push for green

00:49:33.640 technology and maybe

00:49:34.880 some more socialism.

00:49:36.140 But that's already

00:49:37.020 here.

00:49:37.860 It's just the same

00:49:38.700 stuff we've been

00:49:39.260 looking at.

00:49:39.640 And I don't think

00:49:40.460 the Great Reset gave

00:49:41.460 them any extra

00:49:42.300 capability or power.

00:49:45.200 You know, you just

00:49:45.700 saw a mansion kill

00:49:46.560 build back better.

00:49:48.200 So, you know, it was

00:49:49.200 close.

00:49:50.080 It was close, but it

00:49:50.980 doesn't look like the

00:49:52.080 Great Reset is going

00:49:52.900 to reset too much.

00:49:55.160 Here's some good

00:49:55.960 news that was sort

00:49:56.820 of underplayed on

00:49:58.760 CNN's website, but I

00:50:00.020 hadn't seen it

00:50:00.500 anywhere else.

00:50:01.700 They said, thanks to

00:50:02.880 multiple atmospheric

00:50:03.880 river events, which

00:50:05.620 sounds very important,

00:50:07.340 atmospheric river

00:50:08.280 events.

00:50:09.640 The average snowpack

00:50:10.960 in California has

00:50:11.880 gone from 18% to 98%

00:50:14.400 in two weeks.

00:50:16.360 We just went from no

00:50:18.320 snowpack, we're going

00:50:19.340 to have another drought

00:50:20.340 because that's a big

00:50:21.880 source of our water

00:50:22.680 comes from that

00:50:23.300 snowpack.

00:50:24.600 And we're having, you

00:50:26.320 know, yet again, a

00:50:27.580 drought this summer.

00:50:29.300 And it looks like we

00:50:32.040 just took a big step

00:50:33.040 toward making that big

00:50:34.200 problem go away. 0.61

00:50:35.500 Now, if you don't live

00:50:36.400 in California, this

00:50:37.180 meant nothing to you.

00:50:38.040 But this is a big

00:50:39.680 problem, not having

00:50:41.360 water, because we're

00:50:42.680 not doing enough to,

00:50:43.860 you know, desalinate or

00:50:44.940 anything else.

00:50:45.860 So we have to rely on

00:50:47.420 nature to save us from

00:50:48.640 bad government.

00:50:49.960 But it looks like nature

00:50:51.020 stepped in, at least for

00:50:52.720 now.

00:50:53.200 I mean, it would still

00:50:53.760 take a lot more water to

00:50:54.940 be secure in California,

00:50:56.880 but this is a big deal.

00:50:58.840 A big deal.

00:50:59.840 Like, on the list of all

00:51:01.820 the good news that I could

00:51:03.000 receive in my life, this

00:51:06.200 would be right at the

00:51:07.160 top.

00:51:08.020 Because, you know, you

00:51:08.640 have to leave California

00:51:09.620 if you don't have water.

00:51:11.120 It's pretty much game

00:51:12.220 over.

00:51:13.720 It's bad enough we

00:51:14.600 barely have electricity.

00:51:16.900 All right.

00:51:18.420 In the Twitter highlights,

00:51:20.240 you know, where they'll

00:51:21.260 highlight a story that

00:51:22.460 everybody's talking about,

00:51:23.980 yesterday they said, they

00:51:26.120 had this heading to the

00:51:27.260 story on Twitter.

00:51:28.740 It said, science and

00:51:29.580 public health experts say

00:51:31.200 that vaccines are safe

00:51:32.400 for most people.

00:51:35.560 What?

00:51:36.800 Most.

00:51:37.200 Did they downgrade

00:51:39.860 vaccines from, hey,

00:51:41.920 everybody, you know,

00:51:42.860 almost everybody needs to

00:51:44.100 get one.

00:51:45.260 Did they downgrade it all

00:51:46.420 the way to most?

00:51:48.040 51%.

00:51:48.520 51%.

00:51:50.560 I mean, they're not

00:51:53.040 saying it's 51%, but the

00:51:54.580 word most is a pretty

00:51:56.800 wide space, isn't it?

00:51:58.780 I don't think we can

00:52:01.040 ignore this change in

00:52:03.200 messaging.

00:52:04.520 I don't think you can

00:52:05.500 ignore that.

00:52:06.480 I think this is a pretty

00:52:07.620 clear statement that

00:52:09.760 whoever wrote the

00:52:10.760 headline, anyway, at

00:52:11.640 Twitter, is hedging.

00:52:15.220 And that is a big deal

00:52:17.120 in our understanding of

00:52:18.700 what's going on.

00:52:23.160 Apparently, Fauci was

00:52:24.680 talking about we're going

00:52:25.860 to make lots and lots of

00:52:27.380 tests for the COVID

00:52:28.640 available.

00:52:29.740 He said there are going

00:52:30.340 to be 10,000 centers for

00:52:33.260 free testing.

00:52:35.360 10,000 centers.

00:52:36.600 And it's going to happen

00:52:37.420 in just a few weeks.

00:52:39.140 So this is heading in the

00:52:40.300 right direction.

00:52:41.040 Of course, we must ask

00:52:42.260 the question, why don't we

00:52:44.300 have that already?

00:52:45.880 Like, what took so long?

00:52:46.960 And I think the answer is

00:52:47.780 corruption.

00:52:49.060 All right.

00:52:49.260 I'm going to stick with

00:52:50.200 that statement of what I

00:52:52.660 consider obvious.

00:52:54.420 I don't think it's

00:52:55.300 incompetence.

00:52:56.040 I don't think it's money.

00:52:57.000 It just looks like

00:52:58.700 somebody in this mix

00:52:59.900 was corrupt and

00:53:02.240 stopped something from

00:53:03.460 happening for somebody's

00:53:04.600 benefit.

00:53:05.040 But we don't know

00:53:05.540 details.

00:53:07.140 All right.

00:53:08.660 China, amazingly, 0.66

00:53:10.940 somehow got their

00:53:11.940 Chinese tennis star,

00:53:13.380 Peng Shui, who

00:53:14.860 disappeared because she

00:53:15.940 claimed a

00:53:16.900 Communist Party leader

00:53:19.420 raped her.

00:53:20.360 and now she's saying

00:53:22.580 in an interview that

00:53:23.460 she, that never 0.87

00:53:24.660 happened.

00:53:24.980 She never accused

00:53:25.600 anyone of sexually

00:53:26.420 assaulting her.

00:53:27.820 Nope.

00:53:28.640 Nope.

00:53:28.960 It had been

00:53:29.280 misunderstood.

00:53:30.880 Sorry.

00:53:31.500 Nope.

00:53:31.800 That never happened.

00:53:33.520 Now, would you see

00:53:34.740 China disappear a story

00:53:36.400 to take something you

00:53:38.040 know is true and just

00:53:38.840 make it disappear?

00:53:40.240 Can they do that?

00:53:41.900 Yeah.

00:53:42.420 Yeah, they could do

00:53:43.200 that.

00:53:44.120 It works.

00:53:45.540 Yeah.

00:53:46.060 Because they can do it

00:53:46.960 in the United States.

00:53:47.880 So certainly you can

00:53:49.960 do it in China.

00:53:51.560 So certainly the

00:53:52.380 people of China will 0.91

00:53:53.400 just now hear that

00:53:55.240 that never happened.

00:53:58.620 Just like stories

00:53:59.940 disappear in the

00:54:00.640 United States.

00:54:02.360 Our media disappears

00:54:03.520 stories all the time.

00:54:05.600 So yeah, they can

00:54:06.960 actually do this and

00:54:07.880 it will work.

00:54:08.680 It's so bold and so

00:54:10.680 obvious that you say

00:54:12.360 to yourself, well,

00:54:13.020 that's never going to

00:54:13.720 work.

00:54:14.500 It's so bold and

00:54:15.660 obvious that it's a

00:54:16.800 lie.

00:54:17.880 Who wants me at

00:54:20.220 this time of day?

00:54:24.080 Anyway, so anyway,

00:54:25.840 the testing might be

00:54:26.560 good.

00:54:30.500 I tweeted the other

00:54:31.580 day a reference.

00:54:33.880 I think it came from

00:54:34.740 Wikipedia or something.

00:54:36.380 It talked about how

00:54:37.440 Ghislaine Maxwell's dad,

00:54:39.460 who was a famous media

00:54:40.400 mogul, had at his 0.86

00:54:42.260 funeral a lot of

00:54:43.460 important people,

00:54:44.100 including six former

00:54:46.100 former or current

00:54:47.300 heads of Mossad,

00:54:49.260 Israeli intelligence.

00:54:51.580 For that, I was

00:54:52.920 accused of being

00:54:53.940 adjacent to or too

00:54:55.980 close to being

00:54:56.620 anti-Semitic by a

00:54:58.640 David Hosni.

00:55:00.440 And he called me out

00:55:01.920 for apparently an old

00:55:04.280 anti-Semitic trope that

00:55:07.100 the, that Israel or the

00:55:09.320 Jews are running some

00:55:10.460 kind of pedo ring,

00:55:12.420 which I'd never even

00:55:14.160 heard of.

00:55:15.920 So my, my weird, my

00:55:18.240 weird life is that I'm

00:55:19.960 getting pilloried by

00:55:21.080 people who are literally

00:55:22.040 hallucinating opinions

00:55:23.200 for me.

00:55:24.620 I've never even heard of

00:55:25.580 that.

00:55:26.420 Now, I had heard that

00:55:28.620 intelligence agencies

00:55:29.780 would be very interested

00:55:31.180 in what Epstein knew and,

00:55:33.340 you know, what kinds of

00:55:34.920 salacious stories about

00:55:36.520 important people he might

00:55:37.560 know.

00:55:37.800 I mean, that's just

00:55:38.320 obvious, right?

00:55:39.460 The CIA would want to

00:55:41.140 know, Russian intelligence

00:55:42.580 would want to know, you

00:55:44.260 know, MI6 would want to

00:55:45.400 know, and Israel would 0.92

00:55:46.540 want to know.

00:55:47.400 Why wouldn't they?

00:55:48.700 Who would not want to

00:55:49.500 know that?

00:55:51.260 If you knew that Epstein

00:55:52.400 had the, like, sexual

00:55:53.840 goods on a bunch of

00:55:56.280 famous people, every

00:55:58.120 intel agency should want

00:55:59.520 to know about that.

00:56:00.740 I'd never even heard

00:56:01.460 this.

00:56:01.980 I'd never even heard

00:56:02.740 that.

00:56:03.860 Is there some kind of,

00:56:04.620 has anybody heard this?

00:56:06.160 Have you heard some kind

00:56:07.080 of anti-Semitic thing

00:56:08.740 that Israel or Jews were

00:56:10.460 somehow behind some kind

00:56:12.860 of a pedo ring?

00:56:14.100 Is that even a thing?

00:56:16.540 Is anybody even, I've

00:56:17.960 never heard of that.

00:56:19.660 And now I'm anti-Semitic

00:56:21.460 for something I've never

00:56:23.460 even heard of.

00:56:24.460 Anyway, I blocked him

00:56:26.580 for being an asshole. 0.96

00:56:29.560 Clay Travis had a good

00:56:31.360 thread today.

00:56:33.000 I'm going to read you

00:56:33.780 most of it.

00:56:34.300 He said, Joe Biden

00:56:36.660 passed his entire

00:56:37.520 2020, or actually,

00:56:39.500 I'm sorry, let me read

00:56:40.320 it again.

00:56:40.960 Joe Biden based his

00:56:42.900 election basically on

00:56:44.700 trusting the science

00:56:46.200 and beating COVID.

00:56:48.420 And of course, that

00:56:49.220 didn't happen.

00:56:50.880 And Clay asked us to do

00:56:52.660 this one fun mental

00:56:53.840 exercise.

00:56:56.140 Imagine that it was

00:56:57.200 Trump in charge and

00:56:59.140 that the pandemic went

00:57:00.940 just the way it went.

00:57:01.900 It was the same 0.52

00:57:03.260 outcome.

00:57:04.740 Let's say Trump did

00:57:05.600 everything that Biden

00:57:06.380 did, but Trump was in

00:57:08.160 charge.

00:57:10.120 Clay says, I believe the

00:57:11.360 media would have

00:57:11.960 vigorously covered the

00:57:13.000 COVID vaccine failure.

00:57:15.460 True.

00:57:16.420 It would have been the

00:57:17.480 Trump vaccine that

00:57:18.440 failed.

00:57:19.240 That's all it would

00:57:20.120 have been about.

00:57:21.880 But instead, it's take

00:57:23.320 the vaccine.

00:57:23.960 It's not as good as we

00:57:24.760 thought, but it's still

00:57:25.400 good.

00:57:25.620 And Trump would

00:57:29.000 likely have already

00:57:29.760 been impeached over his

00:57:30.940 failures to take COVID

00:57:32.000 seriously.

00:57:33.520 Could be.

00:57:34.700 Blue states would shut 0.96

00:57:36.700 down, blah, blah, blah,

00:57:37.580 all kinds of stuff, bad

00:57:38.820 stuff would happen.

00:57:41.400 And then Clay says, the

00:57:42.840 reality is almost nothing

00:57:43.940 we have done has had any

00:57:45.280 impact on COVID at all.

00:57:46.960 Do you believe that?

00:57:48.500 Do you believe that

00:57:49.500 nothing we've done has

00:57:50.460 had any impact on COVID

00:57:51.960 at all?

00:57:52.400 Well, that's not even

00:57:55.420 close to true.

00:57:58.600 That's not even the same

00:57:59.680 universe as true.

00:58:01.960 It's true that we can't

00:58:03.260 stop it.

00:58:04.960 But do you believe that

00:58:06.520 the vaccines don't

00:58:07.560 reduce the risk of

00:58:09.820 serious outcomes?

00:58:11.560 Is there anybody here

00:58:12.560 who believes that the

00:58:13.360 vaccines don't even do

00:58:14.520 that?

00:58:15.500 That they don't reduce

00:58:16.440 the risk of serious

00:58:17.920 outcomes?

00:58:18.800 I'm saying yes.

00:58:19.620 Not conclusive?

00:58:23.740 Yes.

00:58:24.440 Let's see, lots of yeses

00:58:25.340 on the locals platform.

00:58:26.420 How about on YouTube?

00:58:28.280 How many of you believe

00:58:29.140 that the vaccines don't

00:58:30.820 at least reduce your

00:58:33.460 risk?

00:58:35.020 Now, we're not talking

00:58:35.960 about that they may have

00:58:37.020 bring their own risk as

00:58:38.220 well, because that's real.

00:58:41.540 Interesting.

00:58:42.700 Anyway, I don't think that

00:58:43.940 is a statement that should

00:58:45.960 be accepted on face value.

00:58:47.200 I think that face masks,

00:58:49.480 we don't know, because

00:58:51.760 there's no way to do a

00:58:52.560 controlled trial.

00:58:53.660 So we don't know if they

00:58:54.640 work or not.

00:58:57.000 I think that vaccines,

00:58:58.880 the science, or the

00:59:00.940 experts say it, and all

00:59:02.560 the data, I think 100% of

00:59:04.420 the data says it reduces

00:59:05.460 risk, right?

00:59:06.800 There's no data that says

00:59:07.920 otherwise.

00:59:10.080 That I'm aware of.

00:59:12.120 So I think Clay goes too

00:59:14.020 far.

00:59:14.400 Um, but he makes a good

00:59:16.760 point that if it had been

00:59:17.680 Trump, it would have been

00:59:18.540 treated completely

00:59:19.600 differently.

00:59:20.820 Do you agree?

00:59:23.560 All right, here's my

00:59:24.420 updated list to know when

00:59:26.060 I'm dealing with an NPC,

00:59:27.580 somebody who can't do

00:59:28.500 independent thinking.

00:59:29.900 If I see any of these

00:59:31.240 phrases on the internet,

00:59:33.220 now some of these are

00:59:33.940 specific to me, but these

00:59:36.680 phrases are my key not to

00:59:38.580 have a debate with this

00:59:39.600 person on Twitter.

00:59:40.720 If they mention jumping the

00:59:42.320 shark, I'm really the

00:59:43.980 pointy-haired boss, ha ha

00:59:45.540 ha, the Matrix, Soylent

00:59:47.440 Green, anybody being an 1.00

00:59:49.140 apologist about anything,

00:59:50.820 I saw it with my own

00:59:51.760 eyes, or I heard it with

00:59:52.760 my own ears, sheep

00:59:54.260 references, 1984 movie or

00:59:56.900 book, uh, Hitler

00:59:58.380 references, fascism, soy

01:00:00.140 boy, or Scotty.

01:00:02.460 Scotty.

01:00:04.660 So if you have any of those,

01:00:07.200 um, probably you're dealing

01:00:08.860 with an NPC.

01:00:09.680 That's my list.

01:00:10.680 Now, I think you'd agree

01:00:11.440 this is the best show you've

01:00:12.440 ever seen.

01:00:13.500 Possibly the best thing

01:00:14.340 that's ever happened in the

01:00:15.340 history of the universe.

01:00:17.140 Um, but we've come to the

01:00:19.740 end of our, of our time

01:00:22.100 here.

01:00:23.860 And right on time.

01:00:26.060 Yeah.

01:00:26.680 That's how I play.

01:00:28.000 Right on time.

01:00:29.400 All right.

01:00:30.380 Um, and I will talk to you.

01:00:32.900 Did I hear Kamala, what's

01:00:36.160 this?

01:00:36.740 Did you hear Kamala Harris

01:00:37.820 said in the LA Times interview,

01:00:38.780 we didn't see Delta coming?

01:00:41.260 Uh, apparently these

01:00:42.800 micro viruses mutate.

01:00:44.700 Well, okay.

01:00:45.620 That's poorly stated.

01:00:48.400 Um, here's a comment I don't

01:00:54.340 understand.

01:00:55.000 The No Agenda podcast was not

01:00:56.540 a private conversation.

01:00:57.900 Duh.

01:00:58.500 It was meant for public

01:00:59.600 consumption.

01:01:00.440 Duh.

01:01:01.160 When you subtract their

01:01:02.280 persuasion efforts, how much of

01:01:03.680 what's left is cognitive

01:01:04.840 dissonance?

01:01:05.560 Uh, I don't know how to

01:01:07.900 answer that.

01:01:09.320 Uh, what about the Great

01:01:10.480 Barrington Declaration?

01:01:14.160 Uh, you know, I just haven't

01:01:17.060 been interested in it.

01:01:19.540 Um, all right.

01:01:24.920 Um, aspirations issue with

01:01:27.520 vaccines.

01:01:28.720 Aspiration issue.

01:01:30.760 All right.

01:01:31.440 That's all for now.

01:01:32.180 I will talk to you later.
