Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1606 Scott Adams： How Trump Can Win in 2024 With High Ground Persuasion Persuasion

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the best thing that ever happened to you in your whole damn life.

00:00:05.420 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and it features the Simultaneous Sip, which I know some of you try to skip.

00:00:12.380 Some of you mute it, and some of you fast-forward.

00:00:15.700 Whoa, what you're missing.

00:00:17.680 But that's okay, because it's a free world, and you can get your vaccination, and you can not,

00:00:22.960 or you can listen to the Simultaneous Sip, or not.

00:00:26.380 Whatever works for you.

00:00:27.380 But, if you'd like to participate, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice,

00:00:31.600 or a scythe, a canteen, a jug or a flask or a vessel of any kind.

00:00:33.780 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:36.260 I like coffee.

00:00:38.440 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:46.480 It's called the Simultaneous Sip.

00:00:49.120 Some of you are going to miss it.

00:00:50.600 Oh, I pity you. I pity you.

00:00:52.280 Go.

00:00:52.780 Ah, move computer.

00:01:01.700 That feels like good advice.

00:01:04.820 Computer moved.

00:01:06.540 That's called responsive to the audience.

00:01:09.800 A lot of podcasters, they don't do that.

00:01:12.320 They don't do that at all.

00:01:13.780 All right, well, today actually will be the most exciting and awesome live stream that you have ever seen in your whole damn life.

00:01:22.300 I'm going to teach you a technique, which I mention often, but the more examples you see, the better you'll be able to do it in your own life.

00:01:30.320 It's called the High Ground Maneuver.

00:01:33.520 It's the most powerful persuasion technique.

00:01:36.840 So powerful, I've never seen it not work, and when I've used it in person, I can't tell if other people use it successfully, but it kind of works every time.

00:01:49.600 And there's nothing like that in persuasion except, you know, maybe fear.

00:01:53.820 If you ramp up the fear enough, you can make anything happen.

00:01:56.280 But for a non-fear persuasion, the High Ground technique just beats everything, every time.

00:02:05.440 And almost instantly, you don't even have to wait.

00:02:08.480 It's not like the simultaneous sip, where it's a small thing that accumulates over time.

00:02:13.320 That's one way to persuade.

00:02:14.840 The High Ground Maneuver instantly flips people to your point of view.

00:02:20.680 And I'm going to give you some examples as we go.

00:02:23.220 But first, some fun stories.

00:02:25.040 Rasmussen has a new poll, says Biden's handling of crime and law enforcement issues.

00:02:31.620 51% say he's doing a poor job on crime and law enforcement.

00:02:36.560 How would you like to run against any Republican when you're underwater on crime and law enforcement?

00:02:45.040 Kind of tough, isn't it?

00:02:47.140 Yeah.

00:02:47.800 And I was actually surprised that it's only 51%.

00:02:51.460 Somebody just said in the comments.

00:02:52.980 Rasmussen also polled people on Biden's handling of immigration.

00:02:58.340 54% say he's doing a poor job on immigration.

00:03:03.260 Again, tough to run against a Republican, any Republican, with these kinds of numbers.

00:03:09.440 I don't know if you saw this next story, but there's something going to happen.

00:03:17.680 Something's coming, according to Rose McGowan.

00:03:21.420 Now, correct me if I'm wrong.

00:03:22.600 She started the Me Too movement, right? 0.73

00:03:25.360 Am I right about that?

00:03:26.660 I think I am, right?

00:03:27.400 And she just tweeted this.

00:03:31.540 I'm going to read you the tweet.

00:03:34.260 I'm going to read you the tweet.

00:03:36.480 And unfortunately, there's nothing you can say about it.

00:03:39.960 The tweet just will sit there as its own story.

00:03:43.680 There's nothing I can add to it.

00:03:45.260 Are you ready?

00:03:45.600 This is from Rose McGowan.

00:03:48.560 I think it was this morning or last night.

00:03:50.660 Hillary Clinton, you are a shadow leader in service of evil.

00:03:54.580 You are the enemy of what is good, right, and moral.

00:03:57.740 You represent no flag, no country, no soul.

00:04:01.240 You eat hope.

00:04:03.080 You twist minds.

00:04:05.040 I've been in a hotel room with your husband, and here comes the bomb.

00:04:08.440 End of tweet.

00:04:14.760 Oh, my God.

00:04:17.960 Oh, my God.

00:04:19.860 Is Rose McGowan good at writing and capturing her imagination?

00:04:25.500 I'm just going to read this again, but only for the writing, okay?

00:04:31.020 So, you know, the issue itself is just red meat.

00:04:35.300 Let's bring it on.

00:04:36.280 Let's find out what you know.

00:04:37.160 But just listen to the writing.

00:04:40.500 Hillary Clinton, you are a shadow leader in service of evil.

00:04:43.740 You are the enemy of what is good, right, and moral.

00:04:46.660 You represent no flag, no country, no soul.

00:04:50.060 You eat hope.

00:04:51.600 You twist minds.

00:04:53.200 I've been in a hotel room with your husband, and here comes the bomb.

00:04:59.140 I don't know if anybody's ever written a better tweet than that.

00:05:03.000 Do you?

00:05:04.540 That is such good writing.

00:05:08.040 Ouch.

00:05:08.440 I mean, it's good writing in the context of a tweet, right?

00:05:11.340 It doesn't mean you're going to write a...

00:05:13.320 You want to read a novel that goes like this.

00:05:15.540 Man.

00:05:16.660 Holy, holy, holy hell.

00:05:19.080 Is Rose McGowan as smart as she looks? 1.00

00:05:24.360 Somebody do a little background check on her. 1.00

00:05:28.100 Is Rose McGowan actually very high IQ? 1.00

00:05:31.560 Does she have some qualifications? 0.98

00:05:34.460 Does this writing just screams high IQ?

00:05:37.620 That's an old tweet?

00:05:40.780 How old is the tweet?

00:05:46.740 Because it's being reported today.

00:05:48.960 Oh, from September.

00:05:50.020 Isn't that far away?

00:05:50.800 So, sort of old September, somebody says.

00:05:53.880 Okay.

00:05:54.760 Interesting.

00:05:55.720 I wonder why people were talking about it today.

00:05:58.460 Anyway, well, that ruins it all.

00:06:01.380 That makes everything less fun.

00:06:03.120 Why was it in the news today?

00:06:06.140 You know, one of the things that we...

00:06:07.840 One of the mistakes I make a lot is not checking the date on stuff.

00:06:13.400 Have you ever had that problem?

00:06:14.600 It's got a mega-boomer today.

00:06:20.820 All right.

00:06:25.140 So, Democrats, as you know, consider climate change their biggest priority, biggest issue

00:06:29.780 in the world is climate change.

00:06:32.120 And if you were a Democrat and you thought it was your biggest issue in the world, who

00:06:37.140 would you choose as your leaders to deal with the biggest issue in the world?

00:06:41.160 Well, apparently two of the leaders in this movement are Joe Biden, of course, and then

00:06:47.820 Greta Thunberg.

00:06:50.240 And Greta just dumped on Joe Biden. 1.00

00:06:54.120 And she said she insulted his leadership on climate.

00:07:01.380 And I thought to myself, all right, so you've got two people who are identified as the main

00:07:08.160 leaders on climate.

00:07:09.120 The president, who happens to be a Democrat, and Greta.

00:07:13.200 What do these two have in common?

00:07:15.920 Well, at Joe Biden's age, I think it's fair to say that his brain is past its sell-by date.

00:07:22.920 Fair to say?

00:07:23.820 Would you say that Biden's brain is degraded?

00:07:26.480 By age, mostly.

00:07:28.860 Fair to say.

00:07:31.160 Greta, will somebody give me an update?

00:07:33.220 What's her age?

00:07:34.280 What is Greta's age?

00:07:35.520 21 or something?

00:07:36.980 Is she only 18?

00:07:41.640 Oh, she's only 18, 19. 0.99

00:07:43.740 Well, so she's 18, 19, right?

00:07:46.600 And your brain develops fully by the time you are fill-in-the-blank.

00:07:51.640 Your brain is considered fully developed when you are 25, right?

00:07:57.180 25 years old.

00:07:58.080 So the two leaders on the biggest issue for the Democrats are a man with a brain that is well past its expiration date

00:08:06.340 and a young woman with a brain that has not reached maturity, according to science.

00:08:13.000 So the party of science is using us as their leaders to fight the biggest scientific challenge, according to them,

00:08:22.460 by picking the people that science says don't have the capability to do this kind of work.

00:08:29.240 Did I make up anything?

00:08:35.300 Is there anything in this story that I just made up?

00:08:38.820 No.

00:08:39.560 There's no question that Greta's brain is not developed,

00:08:42.640 and I don't think there's really any question that Biden's at an age where things slow down.

00:08:47.260 I mean, Dr. Drew was saying last night that even at his age,

00:08:52.140 and his age is, you know, he's a little younger than I am, but we're pretty close,

00:08:56.120 but I can feel it.

00:08:58.040 Like, if I were to run for president, I ask myself,

00:09:02.440 oh, you know, is age going to have an effect on that?

00:09:05.440 And I think it might, right?

00:09:07.120 My capability is much greater than it's ever been,

00:09:09.700 but definitely age is starting to have an effect.

00:09:12.840 When I was younger, I would have checked the date on that Rose McGowan story.

00:09:19.140 All right.

00:09:21.540 Here's the big payoff for today's show.

00:09:28.660 I'm going to give you a reframe that you're going to love.

00:09:36.280 All right?

00:09:36.900 By the way, should I write a book on reframing?

00:09:40.280 Just how to reframe everything?

00:09:43.820 I'm seeing a lot of yeses for that.

00:09:46.560 You know, I worry that it would be too repetitive of things I've done

00:09:50.120 or written before in various books,

00:09:52.560 but there's something about the idea of reframing how you see things

00:09:57.040 that by itself is very powerful.

00:10:00.880 You know, filters and frames.

00:10:03.320 Well, I'm seeing nothing but yeses here.

00:10:04.980 Okay, I'm going to talk to my publishing people in January

00:10:12.100 and see if that makes sense.

00:10:13.720 I really hate writing books.

00:10:15.860 If I write another book again, it's going to be for you.

00:10:18.820 It's not going to be for me,

00:10:20.240 because I really don't like that kind of work.

00:10:22.620 It's like three years of your life that you can't get back.

00:10:26.060 I mean, writing books is exactly as hard as it looks, right?

00:10:31.240 It feels like sometimes it's easy,

00:10:33.480 because an author will come out with one every year,

00:10:35.840 and you don't see them working.

00:10:37.440 You know, they work privately.

00:10:38.420 So it looks like it's probably easier than it is.

00:10:41.200 But let me tell you, writing a book is as hard as it looks.

00:10:45.620 It's really, really hard.

00:10:48.100 But I might write one for you,

00:10:50.100 because I do think that the topic is just so, so useful.

00:10:54.240 It's just so useful, I'm not sure that I can not write it.

00:10:57.400 You know what I mean?

00:10:58.280 You almost have a moral obligation at some point.

00:11:01.840 So I'm starting to feel that pull, and I wish I didn't.

00:11:06.260 All right, here's the big reframe.

00:11:08.420 When it comes to a citizen of the United States,

00:11:12.840 and let's say that citizen is accused of a crime,

00:11:16.180 do we accept the standard that that citizen is innocent until proven guilty?

00:11:21.280 How many would say that's a good standard?

00:11:24.300 Anybody?

00:11:26.320 Yes.

00:11:27.400 Not only do we universally accept that innocent until proven guilty

00:11:32.340 is the best way to have a system,

00:11:34.660 but we also accept as part of that,

00:11:38.080 and I want you to confirm this,

00:11:40.000 we accept as part of that that sometimes we'll get it wrong,

00:11:43.720 meaning that a guilty person will go free,

00:11:47.180 and that we take that explicitly as an acceptable trade-off,

00:11:51.680 and that we've all thought about it extensively,

00:11:54.660 and we've come to the conclusion that

00:11:56.860 because the government is big and powerful,

00:12:00.200 and a citizen is not,

00:12:02.600 it would be deeply, deeply unfair

00:12:04.760 to have it any other way.

00:12:07.680 The citizen needs some advantage

00:12:09.860 against the entity with all the resources,

00:12:12.820 and that is,

00:12:13.800 you better damn well prove it,

00:12:15.520 or else we're just going to treat you like you're innocent.

00:12:18.920 Everybody agrees with that standard, right?

00:12:22.100 It's one of the most basic pieces of code that runs in your head.

00:12:26.620 It's like a narrative that's like a piece of programming,

00:12:29.660 and we all have it in the United States anyway.

00:12:32.820 All right, so here's the problem.

00:12:36.140 What happens when the citizens are judging the government?

00:12:39.540 So when the government is judging a citizen,

00:12:44.400 innocent until proven guilty just has to be the standard.

00:12:47.360 We all agree.

00:12:48.920 But what if it's the opposite?

00:12:50.680 What if the citizens, collectively or individually,

00:12:54.380 are accusing the government of something?

00:12:58.780 Same standard?

00:13:00.540 Is the government innocent until proven guilty?

00:13:05.440 That's a terrible standard.

00:13:06.820 Let me give you some examples.

00:13:10.200 If you have an election system

00:13:12.320 that can't be audited by design,

00:13:15.620 meaning the electronic parts,

00:13:17.220 you really can't get at them.

00:13:18.980 If your election system,

00:13:21.160 run by your government,

00:13:23.380 by your government,

00:13:25.680 if the citizens,

00:13:27.880 by some large number,

00:13:29.400 and we're in this situation now,

00:13:31.280 have questions about the fairness of the election,

00:13:33.840 where is the burden of proof?

00:13:37.480 Is the burden of proof on the citizens

00:13:40.600 to prove that the election was fraudulent?

00:13:45.020 I'm going to need a dispensation here.

00:13:49.140 I need to curse.

00:13:51.980 Permission to curse?

00:13:53.600 Give you time to get your kids out of the room?

00:13:56.520 Permission to curse?

00:13:57.640 I need permission.

00:13:59.260 Local says yes.

00:14:00.960 YouTube?

00:14:02.460 Permission?

00:14:02.940 Okay, Josh says yes.

00:14:09.500 If your election system is not auditable,

00:14:13.600 that burden of proof doesn't work.

00:14:16.800 If your election system can't be audited by design,

00:14:21.980 the reasonable assumption is it's fraudulent.

00:14:25.960 That's a reasonable assumption.

00:14:28.180 The burden of proof is on the government

00:14:30.860 to prove it's not.

00:14:33.020 See where I'm going on this?

00:14:38.080 Your government needs to prove the election was fair,

00:14:41.840 not the other way around.

00:14:43.360 Every time your fucking asshole critics

00:14:45.800 tell you that you didn't prove the election was fraudulent in court,

00:14:50.380 fuck them.

00:14:51.420 They've got the wrong standard.

00:14:53.260 The election needs to prove it's fair to us.

00:14:56.340 We don't need to prove a fucking thing to the government.

00:14:59.160 The government needs to prove to us

00:15:02.940 the election was fucking fair.

00:15:05.800 Have they done that, and can they do that?

00:15:08.340 No.

00:15:09.160 They can't prove it.

00:15:10.240 They won't prove it.

00:15:11.340 The assumption has to be that it was fraudulent.

00:15:15.400 Now, I don't know that that was true,

00:15:17.280 because I lack any evidence that would prove it.

00:15:20.600 But the standard is backwards.

00:15:23.620 It's a backwards fucking standard.

00:15:25.560 The government needs to prove it's a fair fucking election,

00:15:32.280 and you haven't, you don't get the assumption of innocence.

00:15:36.800 You get the assumption of fucking guilt.

00:15:40.380 That's the assumption.

00:15:42.380 And that's the only system that can work.

00:15:45.620 Just as the only system that can work

00:15:48.140 when the government is judging an individual

00:15:50.140 is the assumption of innocence until proven guilty.

00:15:53.280 If you're going the other direction,

00:15:56.720 it's got to be opposite.

00:15:58.740 It's got to be opposite.

00:16:00.260 You've got to fucking prove you're not screwing us.

00:16:04.400 You've got to prove it, and you haven't.

00:16:08.680 You want another one?

00:16:11.260 A lot of you have been getting on me

00:16:13.140 for being relatively quiet on the January 6th committee,

00:16:18.440 and especially the people who are being held

00:16:20.080 longer than we think makes sense.

00:16:22.440 I've looked at a number of the videos now

00:16:25.940 of the event,

00:16:27.760 and having looked at the video,

00:16:29.420 I have come to the following opinion.

00:16:32.340 I don't know if the FBI was complicit,

00:16:36.120 or any other organization,

00:16:37.720 some outside force,

00:16:39.160 in promoting the violence.

00:16:42.360 I don't know that to be true.

00:16:44.840 But if you watch the video,

00:16:47.300 it looks obviously true.

00:16:48.600 Has anybody watched all the videos

00:16:51.340 of the unindicted co-conspirators,

00:16:54.580 the Ray Epps,

00:16:55.960 and the people with the bullhorns and stuff?

00:16:58.620 Now, be careful.

00:17:00.260 Be very careful.

00:17:01.420 Have you ever seen video mislead you?

00:17:04.100 Yeah.

00:17:05.520 Yeah.

00:17:06.540 A lot.

00:17:07.920 In fact, video misleading you

00:17:09.560 is the number one thing that makes our news.

00:17:12.180 Yeah, and the bad guys had matching megaphones,

00:17:16.400 coincidentally, and all that.

00:17:18.620 So, here's my take.

00:17:20.540 I don't know,

00:17:22.300 because I can't prove,

00:17:24.100 that the FBI or any other organization

00:17:26.140 was behind organizing this thing,

00:17:28.220 but,

00:17:30.000 the video makes it obvious that it is.

00:17:34.000 Like, if the videos are telling the true story,

00:17:37.040 and that's a big if.

00:17:38.680 Right?

00:17:39.000 You shouldn't trust video in 2021.

00:17:41.020 That's a big if.

00:17:42.820 But, remember,

00:17:45.280 is it my burden

00:17:46.260 to prove that this was a,

00:17:49.160 a legit,

00:17:50.460 well, I won't call it legitimate,

00:17:51.880 is it my burden to prove

00:17:53.160 that it was just a bunch of MAGA supporters?

00:17:56.300 Or is it the government's burden

00:17:57.980 to prove that the obvious evidence

00:18:00.420 of FBI complicity

00:18:01.820 is not what it looks like?

00:18:05.180 Again,

00:18:06.380 same standard.

00:18:07.900 Don't tell me

00:18:09.060 to fucking prove

00:18:10.520 that they were not FBI agents.

00:18:12.320 Not my fucking job.

00:18:14.900 If you're the government,

00:18:16.640 and it looks like

00:18:17.520 you're doing something to me,

00:18:19.360 you better prove you didn't.

00:18:21.540 You better fucking prove

00:18:22.840 there wasn't any,

00:18:23.900 any stuff there.

00:18:25.160 Now, of course,

00:18:25.820 you have the problem

00:18:26.300 that you can't prove a negative.

00:18:27.600 I saw that.

00:18:28.740 Now, in many situations,

00:18:30.260 you can't prove a negative.

00:18:31.300 But,

00:18:32.560 you can give us an interview

00:18:34.180 with fucking Ray Epps.

00:18:36.680 Right?

00:18:37.420 You can find those people

00:18:38.940 on that video

00:18:39.820 and tell us

00:18:40.880 why they're not being

00:18:42.040 investigated or charged.

00:18:45.080 You can do that.

00:18:47.000 Right?

00:18:47.600 That's,

00:18:47.920 that's miles away

00:18:48.940 from trying to prove a negative.

00:18:50.840 Just,

00:18:51.500 just give us the information

00:18:53.060 from the people

00:18:54.380 on the fucking video. 0.97

00:18:55.580 How about that?

00:18:59.080 We should not be trying

00:19:00.540 to prove that January 6th

00:19:02.580 was an FBI operation.

00:19:05.420 With all of that video evidence,

00:19:07.560 the government needs

00:19:08.340 to prove it wasn't.

00:19:10.620 The,

00:19:10.880 the burden of proof

00:19:11.580 is just backwards.

00:19:13.100 Just backwards.

00:19:14.800 And we've,

00:19:15.700 we've been hypnotized

00:19:16.960 into believing

00:19:17.580 that the burden of proof

00:19:19.400 is on us.

00:19:20.400 It's not.

00:19:21.980 It's not.

00:19:23.320 The burden of proof

00:19:24.340 is on the fucking government

00:19:25.960 if they're doing something

00:19:27.620 that looks sketchy as hell,

00:19:30.580 they don't get to do that. 0.56

00:19:32.800 Right?

00:19:33.520 Government doesn't get to be

00:19:35.280 sketchy as hell.

00:19:37.120 It doesn't get to do things

00:19:38.400 that half of the country says,

00:19:39.880 that looks illegal to me.

00:19:42.040 It doesn't get to do that.

00:19:44.780 The people are in charge.

00:19:47.000 Flip your standard.

00:19:48.940 The government's going to need

00:19:50.000 to prove

00:19:50.600 that the crimes

00:19:52.060 that are shown on video

00:19:53.100 are not real crimes.

00:19:54.340 You're going to need

00:19:56.720 to fucking prove

00:19:57.760 why you've got these guys

00:19:59.060 in jail

00:19:59.640 for so long.

00:20:01.940 Has the government

00:20:02.700 proven

00:20:03.220 that they have a good reason

00:20:04.600 to keep the people in jail

00:20:05.800 for January 6th?

00:20:07.340 No,

00:20:07.720 you haven't fucking proven that. 0.88

00:20:09.840 You better fucking prove it

00:20:11.200 quickly.

00:20:12.580 Because our,

00:20:13.180 our,

00:20:13.500 our patience

00:20:14.400 is about to run out.

00:20:17.780 And

00:20:18.260 we don't want to have

00:20:19.800 to call dad,

00:20:21.640 but you know we can.

00:20:23.760 Right?

00:20:25.080 I don't have to tell you

00:20:26.200 who dad is.

00:20:28.000 You know who dad is.

00:20:30.080 Don't make us call dad.

00:20:32.960 You want a nice,

00:20:35.040 you know,

00:20:35.380 maybe DeSantis

00:20:36.380 presidency?

00:20:38.740 Maybe that's the best

00:20:39.660 you can do

00:20:40.100 if you're a Democrat.

00:20:41.760 You don't want dad,

00:20:42.920 do you?

00:20:43.840 But just keep fucking

00:20:44.960 with us

00:20:45.420 with this bullshit

00:20:46.260 about we have to prove

00:20:47.580 that your obvious crimes,

00:20:49.920 or at least the inability

00:20:51.280 to know if it's fair or not,

00:20:53.080 don't put the burden

00:20:53.900 of proof on us.

00:20:55.140 Government,

00:20:56.000 you need to pretty much

00:20:57.120 prove you're not

00:20:57.860 screwing us

00:20:58.480 because it sure looks

00:20:59.500 like you are.

00:21:00.220 It sure looks like you are.

00:21:05.180 Anyway,

00:21:06.320 how could Trump

00:21:07.860 guarantee that he wins?

00:21:10.020 Let me tell you.

00:21:10.660 Here's how Trump could,

00:21:14.120 you know,

00:21:14.300 there are no guarantees

00:21:14.980 in this world,

00:21:15.780 so a little bit

00:21:16.560 of hyperbole here,

00:21:17.480 I think you understand.

00:21:18.840 But close to proving

00:21:21.200 that,

00:21:23.120 or at least making the case

00:21:24.300 that Trump could win

00:21:24.980 for sure,

00:21:25.800 let me tell you

00:21:26.380 what messaging

00:21:27.000 he could use

00:21:28.240 to win for sure.

00:21:30.660 And this is where

00:21:31.420 I'll teach you

00:21:31.840 about the high ground.

00:21:34.140 What has Trump

00:21:35.040 been saying so far

00:21:35.860 about the 2020 election?

00:21:37.200 He's saying that

00:21:38.800 it was rigged

00:21:39.740 and that he really won

00:21:41.500 and that he got cheated.

00:21:43.460 Is that the high ground?

00:21:45.520 Does that sound like

00:21:46.300 a high ground position?

00:21:49.120 The election was unfair,

00:21:51.040 I can't prove it,

00:21:52.380 but I'm sure I got robbed.

00:21:54.860 No,

00:21:55.220 it's a child's frame.

00:21:57.400 It's literally

00:21:57.960 a child's frame.

00:22:00.260 That doesn't convince anybody

00:22:01.760 because children

00:22:02.860 are not persuasive

00:22:04.460 unless they're talking

00:22:05.160 to their parents,

00:22:05.760 I guess.

00:22:06.820 All right.

00:22:07.720 Here's what he could say

00:22:09.160 instead of that.

00:22:11.980 The system picked

00:22:13.200 Joe Biden,

00:22:15.060 and you have to respect

00:22:15.900 the system,

00:22:17.080 but it is absolutely fair

00:22:18.760 for citizens

00:22:20.120 to demand

00:22:22.460 that the election

00:22:23.720 become transparent.

00:22:25.280 And if you elect me,

00:22:26.320 I'm not going to complain

00:22:27.160 about 2020 losing

00:22:28.320 the election

00:22:28.800 because frankly,

00:22:29.640 it's hard to tell.

00:22:30.840 I do strongly think

00:22:32.080 it's a possibility,

00:22:33.340 even a probability.

00:22:34.860 But we don't have

00:22:36.100 the evidence

00:22:36.580 because the system

00:22:37.380 won't allow us

00:22:38.160 to audit it.

00:22:39.360 So instead of

00:22:40.060 complaining about the past,

00:22:41.820 can we unify

00:22:42.660 on this one question?

00:22:44.640 The system needs

00:22:45.620 to be more transparent.

00:22:48.540 You need to be able

00:22:49.480 to audit this thing

00:22:50.380 right away

00:22:50.900 because you don't want

00:22:51.920 to repeat a 2020

00:22:52.920 and you don't want

00:22:54.060 to repeat a January 6.

00:22:55.360 see what I did there?

00:22:58.020 That's the high ground.

00:23:00.260 Who is going to complain

00:23:01.620 about election transparency?

00:23:04.320 You can't.

00:23:05.660 You can't complain

00:23:06.840 about election transparency.

00:23:08.500 Who is going to complain

00:23:09.540 about letting the past

00:23:11.340 behind us?

00:23:11.980 Not the criminal activity.

00:23:13.240 You still have to

00:23:13.940 prosecute criminals.

00:23:15.220 But who would complain

00:23:16.820 with putting the past

00:23:18.220 behind us

00:23:18.840 and being productively focused

00:23:20.420 on fixing the election

00:23:21.420 transparency?

00:23:22.660 Nobody.

00:23:23.000 Nobody would complain

00:23:24.480 about that.

00:23:25.440 So that's the high ground.

00:23:27.080 If you say that

00:23:28.000 in a meeting,

00:23:29.060 let's leave the past

00:23:29.980 behind,

00:23:31.940 except for the criminal

00:23:33.160 behavior,

00:23:34.900 and focus on transparency

00:23:37.060 of the elections

00:23:37.760 for next time,

00:23:39.420 nobody can complain.

00:23:41.400 You're done.

00:23:45.720 How about,

00:23:47.520 let's see,

00:23:48.660 I'll give you another one.

00:23:53.000 How about vaccines?

00:23:57.280 So Trump has an issue

00:23:59.140 with vaccines

00:24:00.100 because he's pro-vaccines,

00:24:01.600 but a lot of his base

00:24:02.400 is not.

00:24:03.340 So they would feel

00:24:04.040 that that's some kind

00:24:05.200 of a,

00:24:06.420 I don't know,

00:24:07.600 incompatibility

00:24:08.560 with them.

00:24:10.000 So at the moment,

00:24:11.320 Trump is saying,

00:24:12.140 you know,

00:24:12.440 you should get a vaccine,

00:24:13.720 and that's a problem.

00:24:15.160 But we're probably

00:24:16.000 pretty close to being

00:24:17.240 done with the pandemic.

00:24:20.080 I'll talk about that

00:24:20.840 in a minute.

00:24:21.140 And certainly by 2024,

00:24:24.000 I don't think we're

00:24:24.680 going to be talking

00:24:25.140 about the pandemic.

00:24:27.260 So I think Trump

00:24:28.800 should handle it this way,

00:24:30.320 just by saying,

00:24:31.680 I liked shots,

00:24:33.020 you didn't like shots,

00:24:34.300 let's admit that we were

00:24:35.360 all doing the best

00:24:36.160 we could and guessing.

00:24:38.580 Let's just admit

00:24:39.800 that nobody had

00:24:41.400 all the information

00:24:42.380 that they wanted

00:24:43.100 about the long-term

00:24:44.240 risks of the shot

00:24:45.420 or the COVID,

00:24:47.600 and that we were

00:24:48.480 all guessing

00:24:49.060 and doing the best

00:24:50.200 that we could.

00:24:51.480 Can we accept

00:24:52.380 that we all did

00:24:54.400 the best we could

00:24:55.220 and move on?

00:24:57.160 Let's not divide

00:24:58.800 ourselves over

00:24:59.500 vaccinations

00:25:00.140 and not vaccinations,

00:25:01.760 especially

00:25:02.280 when it no longer

00:25:04.000 matters,

00:25:05.320 because I think

00:25:05.820 we're pretty close

00:25:06.660 to it no longer

00:25:07.300 mattering.

00:25:08.460 So I think Trump

00:25:09.400 can make that go away,

00:25:10.440 the vaccine thing,

00:25:11.280 by saying,

00:25:12.000 you know,

00:25:12.300 I don't know

00:25:12.780 if I was right.

00:25:14.540 I don't know

00:25:15.380 if I was right

00:25:16.040 to promote vaccines.

00:25:17.640 But I'll tell you what,

00:25:18.560 none of us

00:25:19.880 had all the information

00:25:20.820 we wanted,

00:25:21.680 and you needed leadership.

00:25:23.620 Why you didn't need

00:25:24.760 in a pandemic

00:25:25.400 is somebody saying,

00:25:26.880 I don't know what to do.

00:25:28.100 Is that what you wanted?

00:25:29.900 That doesn't work.

00:25:31.460 You needed leadership,

00:25:32.860 and we were all guessing.

00:25:34.080 I hope I guessed right.

00:25:35.620 I did my best.

00:25:37.400 How would you feel

00:25:38.180 about that?

00:25:40.300 I mean,

00:25:40.600 it's too wordy.

00:25:41.240 Yeah,

00:25:41.400 you need the shorter

00:25:42.240 version of that.

00:25:42.900 That's right.

00:25:43.280 But the point is

00:25:44.980 that I think Trump

00:25:46.200 can just say,

00:25:47.200 you know,

00:25:47.600 nobody knew.

00:25:48.760 We all guessed.

00:25:49.780 We did our best.

00:25:51.340 Let's accept

00:25:52.140 that we all tried

00:25:53.100 the hardest we could.

00:25:54.480 Because I think

00:25:54.960 that's true.

00:25:56.060 So the high ground

00:25:57.060 is we all did our best.

00:25:59.780 I don't think anybody

00:26:00.880 put in less than

00:26:01.920 a good effort.

00:26:03.760 Wouldn't you agree?

00:26:05.320 If you're on the other

00:26:06.420 side of this for me,

00:26:08.200 whatever that looks like,

00:26:09.400 I don't know.

00:26:10.220 If you're on the other

00:26:11.000 side of this for me,

00:26:11.800 I will accept

00:26:13.220 that you did your best.

00:26:14.820 If you can do that

00:26:15.740 with me.

00:26:17.100 And just move on.

00:26:18.380 We've got other things

00:26:19.260 to fight about.

00:26:21.180 All right.

00:26:23.720 That's right,

00:26:24.340 John.

00:26:24.620 This is the best so far

00:26:25.660 and I haven't even

00:26:26.600 gotten to the best part.

00:26:28.700 I'm getting to the best part

00:26:29.740 really soon.

00:26:32.200 I saw an XKCD comic.

00:26:34.800 If you've never seen

00:26:35.760 XKCD,

00:26:37.040 highly recommended.

00:26:38.360 They're stick figure comics

00:26:39.480 but they're very smart.

00:26:40.480 And this one

00:26:41.900 was on Twitter.

00:26:42.600 Somebody tweeted it at me.

00:26:44.300 And it was a statistics

00:26:45.500 teacher teaching the class

00:26:47.140 and the teacher said

00:26:47.980 in panel one,

00:26:49.660 if you don't control

00:26:50.500 for confounding variables,

00:26:52.180 they'll mask the real effect

00:26:53.940 and mislead you.

00:26:55.160 Now, in other words,

00:26:55.860 if you don't consider

00:26:56.860 all the variables

00:26:57.740 in something,

00:26:59.000 you're not going to get

00:26:59.660 the right answer.

00:27:00.480 Makes sense, right?

00:27:01.920 And then the teacher

00:27:03.040 goes on and said,

00:27:03.840 but if you control

00:27:05.420 for too many variables,

00:27:07.260 your choices

00:27:07.820 will shape the data.

00:27:08.900 In other words,

00:27:09.480 you'll be picking

00:27:10.180 which variables

00:27:11.220 to put in,

00:27:12.420 which really makes it

00:27:13.360 about you picking.

00:27:14.900 It's no longer

00:27:15.600 about statistics.

00:27:17.500 But if you control

00:27:18.600 for too many variables,

00:27:20.000 your choices

00:27:20.580 will shape the data

00:27:21.480 and you'll

00:27:22.260 mislead yourself.

00:27:23.680 So you can't have

00:27:24.460 too few variables,

00:27:26.120 but you also

00:27:27.120 can't have too many.

00:27:29.780 But here's the sweet spot

00:27:31.700 as the teacher goes on.

00:27:33.520 Somewhere in the middle

00:27:34.280 is the sweet spot

00:27:35.280 where you do both,

00:27:37.120 making you doubly wrong.

00:27:38.260 In other words,

00:27:39.800 you have too many variables

00:27:41.220 and not enough.

00:27:43.520 And then the punchline is,

00:27:46.120 stats are a farce

00:27:47.260 and truth is unknowable.

00:27:48.480 See you next week.

00:27:51.060 Stats are a farce.

00:27:53.860 The truth is unknowable.

00:27:55.780 See you next week.

00:27:58.420 That's the only statistics

00:28:00.620 lesson you'll ever need.

00:28:01.760 Yes, the truth is unknowable.

00:28:08.140 So, let me get to the good news.

00:28:11.660 And I'm going to paint

00:28:13.500 the picture slowly

00:28:14.600 so that we can enjoy it.

00:28:17.300 All right?

00:28:18.300 Savor this.

00:28:20.100 There won't be many times

00:28:21.360 in history

00:28:21.880 when you're in a moment

00:28:23.780 just like this.

00:28:26.160 Now, I could be wrong

00:28:27.100 because, you know,

00:28:28.060 I tend toward optimism.

00:28:31.060 I tend toward optimism.

00:28:33.400 But, man,

00:28:34.260 am I optimistic right now.

00:28:36.380 My optimism needle

00:28:37.440 is just

00:28:37.880 going crazy.

00:28:40.960 Here's what we know.

00:28:42.580 There's a study

00:28:43.200 in South Africa

00:28:44.020 saying that the Omicron,

00:28:45.980 if you're infected with it,

00:28:47.240 it does give you

00:28:48.080 protection against

00:28:49.320 Delta.

00:28:50.700 So, in other words,

00:28:54.700 the Omicron

00:28:55.460 is a vaccination.

00:29:00.800 Now,

00:29:01.760 hold on.

00:29:03.020 You're saying game over?

00:29:04.140 Not yet.

00:29:05.140 Hold on.

00:29:05.960 It gets better.

00:29:08.180 Biden talked

00:29:08.980 to the governors yesterday.

00:29:10.220 Did anybody hear a readout

00:29:11.260 of what happened with that?

00:29:12.680 For some reason,

00:29:13.560 I didn't see that.

00:29:14.600 I guess I didn't look for it.

00:29:16.860 But,

00:29:17.320 so, you know,

00:29:17.920 Biden's talking

00:29:18.520 to the governors,

00:29:19.160 which makes me think

00:29:20.280 that they're probably

00:29:21.580 at least noodling

00:29:22.460 with the question

00:29:23.260 of when to end things.

00:29:25.500 Right?

00:29:28.960 And

00:29:29.480 the Centers for Disease,

00:29:32.460 the CDC,

00:29:33.780 shortened the recommended

00:29:35.020 isolation time,

00:29:36.460 you know,

00:29:36.700 the quarantine time,

00:29:38.380 if you have COVID symptoms

00:29:40.180 from 10 days to 5,

00:29:42.080 if you're asymptomatic.

00:29:44.280 Why would the CDC do that?

00:29:46.620 Why would they lower it

00:29:47.560 from 10 days to 5?

00:29:49.220 Now,

00:29:49.500 the reason was

00:29:50.480 that you're only

00:29:51.720 highly infectious

00:29:52.560 for, you know,

00:29:53.260 two or three days.

00:29:54.940 You think they didn't

00:29:55.660 know that before?

00:29:57.360 Do you think they

00:29:58.140 just figured that out?

00:30:01.520 I'll tell you

00:30:02.180 what it feels like.

00:30:05.000 Have you noticed

00:30:05.860 that there are

00:30:06.960 not enough tests,

00:30:08.820 that it's almost impossible,

00:30:10.040 it's really impossible

00:30:11.000 to get a COVID test

00:30:12.440 right now?

00:30:14.180 All right,

00:30:14.580 put,

00:30:15.020 start,

00:30:15.560 I'm giving you

00:30:16.400 the variables,

00:30:17.040 now start to assemble

00:30:18.020 them in your head,

00:30:18.760 all right?

00:30:20.320 No access to tests

00:30:21.900 because the demand

00:30:23.500 is so high.

00:30:24.480 So basically,

00:30:25.260 zero access to testing.

00:30:27.600 The Omicron

00:30:28.680 is a vaccination

00:30:29.620 against the other things,

00:30:31.300 it's sweeping

00:30:31.760 through the country

00:30:32.520 faster than anything

00:30:34.200 we've ever seen.

00:30:36.640 Quarantine just got reduced

00:30:38.120 from 10 days to 5.

00:30:40.400 What's the real reason?

00:30:41.520 The real reason is

00:30:43.720 if you can't get

00:30:44.560 a COVID test

00:30:45.520 and you've got

00:30:46.760 a sniffle

00:30:47.400 during cold season

00:30:49.600 and you can't get

00:30:51.360 a test

00:30:51.860 and you can either

00:30:53.140 upset your life

00:30:54.180 for 10 days

00:30:55.380 without even knowing

00:30:57.160 if you had COVID

00:30:57.880 or you could just

00:30:59.780 go on with your life

00:31:00.820 and say it's a cold.

00:31:02.260 Which one

00:31:02.880 are you going to do?

00:31:04.640 You're going to go

00:31:05.360 on with your life

00:31:06.260 and say it's probably

00:31:07.640 a cold

00:31:08.140 because you can't check.

00:31:09.320 And if it isn't a cold,

00:31:11.060 it's probably Omicron.

00:31:12.580 And if it is Omicron,

00:31:14.120 you're lucky.

00:31:15.120 And if you give it

00:31:15.820 to somebody,

00:31:16.380 they should thank you

00:31:17.240 because you just

00:31:18.500 vaccinated them.

00:31:21.440 Now,

00:31:22.000 put all the elements

00:31:22.960 together.

00:31:23.760 Why did the CDC

00:31:24.740 go from 10 days

00:31:25.680 to 5?

00:31:26.200 Well,

00:31:26.420 it could be

00:31:27.080 the new data.

00:31:28.520 That's what they say.

00:31:30.280 Far more likely,

00:31:31.860 they know that

00:31:33.080 a rebellion is coming

00:31:34.160 and they know

00:31:35.300 they can't make you

00:31:36.780 stay 10 days

00:31:37.700 if you can't get a test.

00:31:39.320 They might

00:31:40.320 be optimistic

00:31:41.340 but wrong

00:31:42.220 that they can

00:31:43.300 make you isolate

00:31:44.020 for 5 days

00:31:45.040 without a COVID test.

00:31:47.960 Raise your hands

00:31:48.700 if you would

00:31:49.360 raise your hands

00:31:51.340 if you would

00:31:52.060 isolate voluntarily

00:31:53.340 for 5 days

00:31:54.480 if you couldn't

00:31:55.720 get a COVID test.

00:31:57.380 How many of you

00:31:58.160 would isolate

00:31:58.680 if you had a sniffle

00:31:59.900 that could be a cold,

00:32:01.640 could be Omicron?

00:32:02.800 How many of you

00:32:03.680 would isolate

00:32:04.200 if you can't get a test?

00:32:07.420 Look at the answers.

00:32:09.320 Do you see it yet?

00:32:11.980 In two weeks,

00:32:13.640 we're going to have

00:32:14.360 30 million Americans

00:32:15.900 with sniffles.

00:32:18.240 Some Omicron,

00:32:19.640 some regular colds,

00:32:21.020 I don't know.

00:32:21.940 Doesn't matter

00:32:22.420 what the mix is.

00:32:23.680 30 million people

00:32:24.760 with sniffles

00:32:25.440 and no access

00:32:26.800 to tests.

00:32:28.100 What happens then?

00:32:28.860 The quarantine time

00:32:32.360 didn't go from

00:32:33.060 10 to 5.

00:32:33.820 It just went to 0.

00:32:36.980 Because the public

00:32:38.180 won't manage

00:32:39.880 that situation.

00:32:41.500 There's no fucking way

00:32:42.940 the public

00:32:43.500 is going to quarantine

00:32:44.540 without access

00:32:45.440 to tests.

00:32:46.680 Now,

00:32:47.080 who was it

00:32:47.640 that fucked up 0.64

00:32:48.980 and gave us

00:32:49.580 no access to tests?

00:32:51.280 Trump,

00:32:52.660 Trump,

00:32:53.700 and Biden.

00:32:55.120 Yeah,

00:32:55.360 total fuck-ups.

00:32:56.980 But,

00:32:57.740 those total fuck-ups,

00:32:59.860 really,

00:33:00.280 the most criminal

00:33:01.220 behavior,

00:33:02.400 I think,

00:33:03.340 in the whole

00:33:03.880 pandemic situation

00:33:04.900 was the lack

00:33:05.440 of rapid tests.

00:33:07.520 To me,

00:33:07.900 that's obvious corruption.

00:33:09.060 And by the way,

00:33:09.560 that's another situation.

00:33:11.260 The assumption

00:33:12.020 is that the FDA

00:33:13.200 is corrupt

00:33:14.020 because of the way

00:33:15.380 that the tests

00:33:17.200 were handled.

00:33:18.960 The burden of proof

00:33:20.740 has to be

00:33:21.340 on the government

00:33:21.880 to prove that

00:33:23.120 it wasn't

00:33:23.560 a corrupt decision.

00:33:25.120 Again,

00:33:25.540 same thing, right?

00:33:26.540 I can't prove

00:33:27.340 it was corrupt,

00:33:28.700 but it looks like it

00:33:29.800 in every possible way.

00:33:31.560 So the government

00:33:32.140 needs to prove it to me.

00:33:33.540 Let me ask you this

00:33:34.380 to blow your fucking head off. 0.99

00:33:36.000 Are you ready?

00:33:37.620 You better hold on

00:33:38.440 to the top of your head.

00:33:40.260 Just hold on.

00:33:40.960 This is going to fuck you up.

00:33:44.140 Have you ever seen

00:33:44.960 an interview

00:33:45.380 with whoever

00:33:46.280 was in charge

00:33:47.240 with the FDA

00:33:48.540 and the decisions

00:33:50.080 about rapid testing?

00:33:51.080 Have you ever

00:33:52.740 seen an interview

00:33:54.140 with the motherfuckers 0.99

00:33:56.140 who were responsible

00:33:57.600 for the rapid tests?

00:33:59.400 No, you haven't.

00:34:00.980 You haven't even seen

00:34:02.300 a fucking interview. 0.95

00:34:04.660 Accident?

00:34:06.220 Coincidence?

00:34:08.140 Nope.

00:34:09.940 Nope.

00:34:11.140 That is the dog

00:34:12.080 not barking

00:34:12.800 so fucking loud

00:34:13.980 you can't even

00:34:15.020 hear yourself think.

00:34:17.320 Those motherfuckers 1.00

00:34:19.060 haven't even been

00:34:20.120 on an interview.

00:34:21.660 And how about

00:34:22.200 your news?

00:34:23.420 Has your news

00:34:24.220 been begging

00:34:24.780 to talk to those people

00:34:26.000 to find out

00:34:26.600 what's going on?

00:34:27.460 Nope.

00:34:30.920 Nope.

00:34:31.820 You don't have

00:34:32.440 a news industry

00:34:33.180 to protect you.

00:34:34.680 If you had any kind

00:34:35.640 of a news industry

00:34:36.600 that was functional

00:34:37.480 they would be

00:34:39.260 surrounding the houses

00:34:40.400 of whoever

00:34:40.920 made those decisions

00:34:41.920 to limit the rapid tests

00:34:44.340 effectively limiting them.

00:34:46.660 It's the biggest question

00:34:47.700 in the country.

00:34:49.360 Absolute no curiosity.

00:34:52.200 Absolutely no curiosity.

00:34:53.440 Yeah, not even Fox, right?

00:34:56.700 Even the press

00:34:58.160 on the right.

00:34:58.720 It's just not even

00:34:59.240 touching it.

00:35:00.280 Can you think of

00:35:01.000 a more important question

00:35:02.040 than, hey, we better

00:35:03.140 get these FDA people

00:35:04.340 in here to tell us

00:35:05.220 why they didn't

00:35:06.060 do a better job

00:35:06.840 on this?

00:35:10.760 All right.

00:35:11.580 So, as I've told you

00:35:13.720 Feb 1,

00:35:14.480 the public is done.

00:35:16.380 I would be,

00:35:17.600 I don't know

00:35:18.360 if the Democrats

00:35:19.220 have heard that yet.

00:35:20.580 I don't know

00:35:21.040 if that's reached

00:35:21.660 the White House.

00:35:23.040 You know, there's

00:35:23.780 a lot of use of it

00:35:25.320 and it's starting

00:35:26.340 to make the rounds

00:35:27.440 on right-oriented media.

00:35:30.460 But I don't know

00:35:30.880 if the left has heard it.

00:35:31.760 I kind of doubt it.

00:35:33.400 However,

00:35:34.160 February 1

00:35:34.740 is looking pretty good.

00:35:37.200 How many people

00:35:38.040 think February 1

00:35:38.940 looks pretty good

00:35:39.680 for being out

00:35:42.700 of the pandemic

00:35:43.180 in a serious way?

00:35:45.860 Yeah, it's looking

00:35:46.560 better and better.

00:35:47.500 And I don't think,

00:35:48.260 as I've often said,

00:35:49.260 it's not the government's,

00:35:50.540 they're just the wrong tool

00:35:52.180 to decide when it's over.

00:35:53.500 They need to take

00:35:54.300 the lead from us.

00:35:56.060 They need to take

00:35:56.800 the lead from us.

00:35:57.820 And February 1

00:35:58.560 would be a perfectly

00:35:59.620 functional target.

00:36:01.980 You know,

00:36:02.180 it's not a left

00:36:02.940 or right thing.

00:36:03.540 It just seems like

00:36:04.440 that would be

00:36:04.840 about the right time.

00:36:08.000 All right.

00:36:12.600 Is it my imagination

00:36:13.700 or is the January 6th

00:36:15.700 committee investigating

00:36:16.980 the,

00:36:17.920 what happened

00:36:18.760 on January 6th,

00:36:19.940 is it the most

00:36:21.220 incompetent investigation

00:36:22.580 of all time?

00:36:24.580 So,

00:36:25.440 apparently,

00:36:26.120 Peter Navarro's book

00:36:27.560 explains exactly

00:36:32.340 who was behind

00:36:33.160 everything

00:36:33.600 and what they did.

00:36:36.720 And as Jack Posobiec

00:36:38.340 pointed out

00:36:39.000 on Twitter today,

00:36:41.340 Steve Bannon,

00:36:43.820 every day on

00:36:44.880 The War Room,

00:36:45.540 his show,

00:36:46.080 was explaining exactly

00:36:47.180 who was doing what

00:36:48.060 and why they were doing it.

00:36:49.940 So,

00:36:50.420 all this stuff

00:36:50.900 that the January 6th

00:36:51.880 committee is trying

00:36:52.520 to investigate

00:36:53.180 is literally in a book

00:36:54.740 and it was

00:36:55.920 the people involved

00:36:57.040 want you to know.

00:36:59.000 They want you to know

00:36:59.800 all of it.

00:37:01.720 Nothing's being hidden.

00:37:03.000 So,

00:37:03.220 here's Peter Navarro's

00:37:04.380 explanation

00:37:04.920 to see if I can

00:37:05.620 summarize it.

00:37:06.680 Basically,

00:37:07.260 they had a hundred

00:37:08.160 members of Congress

00:37:09.360 lined up

00:37:10.120 to support them

00:37:12.020 when,

00:37:12.960 I guess,

00:37:13.560 there was going

00:37:16.300 to be a push

00:37:17.120 to have Pence

00:37:18.100 delay the certification

00:37:19.940 of the election

00:37:20.560 and just have

00:37:21.600 some extra time

00:37:22.480 to look for fraud.

00:37:23.940 Now,

00:37:24.400 the plan,

00:37:25.700 which apparently

00:37:26.300 is well documented,

00:37:27.680 it was public,

00:37:28.840 was to delay

00:37:29.860 the certification

00:37:30.720 until we could be sure

00:37:32.480 there was no fraud.

00:37:34.560 And it was explicit.

00:37:37.200 It was always

00:37:38.140 right out there.

00:37:39.360 And then they did it

00:37:40.240 in public.

00:37:41.460 So,

00:37:41.820 they told you

00:37:42.260 what they were going

00:37:42.780 to do,

00:37:43.680 they told you

00:37:44.240 who was doing it,

00:37:45.560 and then they did it

00:37:46.340 in public.

00:37:47.800 And there's an investigation.

00:37:51.300 Why do you need

00:37:52.000 an investigation?

00:37:53.440 It was done in public

00:37:54.320 by people who told you

00:37:55.280 what they were going

00:37:55.840 to do,

00:37:56.360 and then they wrote it

00:37:57.320 down really clearly

00:37:58.160 so that even after the fact,

00:37:59.780 you could read the book

00:38:00.720 or listen to the videos

00:38:02.240 and find out exactly

00:38:03.800 what they did and why.

00:38:06.620 So,

00:38:07.080 what exactly

00:38:07.560 is the January 6th

00:38:08.600 committee looking for?

00:38:09.740 I've never seen

00:38:10.500 so many confessions.

00:38:12.260 Like,

00:38:13.020 all the people

00:38:13.520 who were involved

00:38:14.160 have already confessed.

00:38:16.240 Not only have they confessed,

00:38:17.920 they're trying to sell you

00:38:18.900 a book so you can

00:38:19.620 see the details.

00:38:21.120 That's how legitimate

00:38:22.020 it was.

00:38:23.000 It was so legitimate

00:38:23.900 that the people

00:38:24.880 who were accused

00:38:25.380 are like,

00:38:25.840 well,

00:38:26.080 I'd like to tell you

00:38:26.780 as much as you'd like

00:38:27.560 to know.

00:38:28.500 I'll put it in a book

00:38:29.400 if you want.

00:38:30.040 I'll do a long-form video.

00:38:32.000 How about lots

00:38:32.740 of long-form videos

00:38:33.920 on the war room?

00:38:35.720 It's like,

00:38:36.500 they can't tell them

00:38:37.780 enough information

00:38:38.840 about what they did

00:38:39.860 and it's still

00:38:40.640 an investigation.

00:38:42.020 It's like,

00:38:42.400 no, seriously.

00:38:43.260 I swear to you,

00:38:44.160 I'm guilty.

00:38:45.420 I did that.

00:38:47.120 All right,

00:38:47.600 we better investigate.

00:38:48.740 No,

00:38:49.060 I'm guilty.

00:38:51.480 I've got documents.

00:38:52.540 I'll show you my emails.

00:38:53.900 We did all of this.

00:38:55.480 It's us.

00:38:56.940 And here's why.

00:38:58.700 I don't know.

00:38:59.960 I think we're going to

00:39:00.640 have to investigate this.

00:39:02.440 Better investigate this.

00:39:04.220 Well,

00:39:04.620 I think you can see

00:39:05.200 at this point

00:39:05.640 the investigation

00:39:06.220 is purely political

00:39:07.440 and by no means

00:39:10.020 legitimate.

00:39:14.020 There is a conspiracy theory.

00:39:16.000 I want to see

00:39:16.360 how many of you

00:39:17.160 buy into this one.

00:39:19.280 Okay?

00:39:20.420 How many of you

00:39:21.080 buy into this one?

00:39:23.200 That the whole point

00:39:24.660 of the pandemic,

00:39:25.660 the motive,

00:39:26.780 was, quote,

00:39:27.500 undeniable from the beginning.

00:39:29.080 I'm reading a tweet

00:39:29.980 I saw in this today.

00:39:31.580 That total digital control

00:39:33.280 like Chinese-style

00:39:34.740 social credit

00:39:35.560 was the goal.

00:39:36.780 That the pandemic

00:39:37.360 was really just a vehicle

00:39:38.720 for the powers that be

00:39:40.940 to get us some

00:39:41.720 Chinese-style

00:39:42.740 social credit.

00:39:44.720 How many people

00:39:45.240 think that's

00:39:45.760 an accurate description

00:39:46.980 of what was going on?

00:39:51.620 And would you be surprised

00:39:53.340 if none of that happens?

00:39:56.520 Would you be surprised

00:39:57.760 if the pandemic

00:39:58.860 winds down

00:39:59.800 and there's no

00:40:00.480 vaccination cards

00:40:01.540 after that point

00:40:02.520 and nothing

00:40:04.420 seems permanent?

00:40:06.720 Would that

00:40:07.280 surprise you?

00:40:08.040 In other words,

00:40:08.680 if you believe

00:40:09.480 that it was all

00:40:10.400 sort of

00:40:11.540 orchestrated

00:40:13.080 from some

00:40:13.660 shadowy place

00:40:14.560 and that the

00:40:15.920 point of it

00:40:16.640 was this

00:40:17.040 Chinese-style

00:40:17.900 social credit,

00:40:18.720 if that doesn't

00:40:20.320 happen,

00:40:22.140 would that

00:40:22.560 invalidate

00:40:24.220 your

00:40:24.740 theory?

00:40:27.300 Because,

00:40:27.900 remember,

00:40:28.140 I told you that

00:40:28.700 the best way

00:40:29.320 you can tell reality

00:40:30.180 is whether it

00:40:30.820 predicts.

00:40:32.820 We don't really

00:40:33.820 know what's real

00:40:34.500 and what's not,

00:40:35.160 but sometimes we know

00:40:36.140 that some theories

00:40:37.160 or frames will

00:40:38.140 predict better

00:40:38.780 than others.

00:40:40.140 My prediction is

00:40:41.380 that we will not

00:40:43.960 see anything

00:40:44.520 substantial

00:40:45.280 that looks like

00:40:46.820 a move toward

00:40:47.500 Chinese social

00:40:48.640 credit

00:40:49.060 or some

00:40:50.220 greater digital

00:40:50.980 control

00:40:51.460 that wasn't

00:40:52.260 going to happen

00:40:52.700 anyway.

00:40:54.060 Now,

00:40:54.340 keep in mind

00:40:54.840 that my general

00:40:55.620 assumption is that

00:40:56.640 complete lack

00:40:58.120 of privacy

00:40:58.720 is guaranteed.

00:41:01.600 My working

00:41:02.880 assumption

00:41:03.280 for 20 years

00:41:04.580 is that

00:41:05.720 a complete

00:41:06.820 lack of

00:41:07.700 privacy

00:41:08.100 is guaranteed.

00:41:10.280 We'll get there

00:41:11.180 in a variety

00:41:11.720 of ways

00:41:12.360 and a variety

00:41:13.000 of trends

00:41:14.140 and technology

00:41:15.100 and stuff,

00:41:15.720 but there isn't

00:41:16.240 a way to stop it.

00:41:17.900 That's the most

00:41:18.620 unstoppable force

00:41:19.800 in the universe.

00:41:20.560 We're going to

00:41:20.820 lose all of that.

00:41:22.940 But,

00:41:23.760 I probably

00:41:25.360 am completely

00:41:26.200 alone in believing

00:41:27.240 that you won't

00:41:28.300 necessarily be

00:41:29.020 worse off.

00:41:31.560 Necessarily.

00:41:32.360 You know,

00:41:32.560 it's easy to make

00:41:33.320 a story where you

00:41:34.060 are,

00:41:34.440 and so if you

00:41:34.820 don't like that

00:41:35.320 risk,

00:41:35.740 that makes sense.

00:41:36.860 But I think

00:41:37.580 that every time

00:41:38.400 we've given up

00:41:39.260 a little bit

00:41:40.980 of privacy,

00:41:42.200 we got something

00:41:43.320 in return,

00:41:44.400 such as

00:41:45.920 a really good

00:41:46.900 online shopping

00:41:47.700 experience.

00:41:49.440 So,

00:41:50.060 you do get

00:41:50.700 things in return.

00:41:51.520 Oh,

00:41:51.700 here's another

00:41:52.100 thing you get

00:41:52.520 in return,

00:41:53.200 which is a good

00:41:54.040 credit score.

00:41:55.720 If you had

00:41:56.340 complete privacy,

00:41:57.240 you couldn't

00:41:57.580 get a loan.

00:41:58.980 Because,

00:41:59.320 well,

00:41:59.460 I suppose you

00:41:59.920 could out

00:42:00.660 yourself.

00:42:01.520 But,

00:42:02.060 you know,

00:42:02.300 the fact that

00:42:02.960 so much of

00:42:03.820 our activities

00:42:05.000 are discoverable

00:42:06.860 makes a lot

00:42:08.460 of our system

00:42:09.060 work,

00:42:10.240 unfortunately.

00:42:11.580 Now,

00:42:12.260 and I think

00:42:12.980 that all of

00:42:14.440 the,

00:42:14.760 let's say,

00:42:15.340 the normalizing

00:42:16.160 of non-standard

00:42:18.320 sexual preferences

00:42:19.300 is making

00:42:20.760 an entire

00:42:21.280 category of

00:42:22.160 things you

00:42:22.520 had to keep

00:42:23.040 private

00:42:23.520 irrelevant.

00:42:24.780 You know,

00:42:26.600 a few

00:42:27.160 decades ago,

00:42:27.960 if you

00:42:28.440 were gay,

00:42:29.480 you wouldn't

00:42:30.060 want anybody

00:42:30.460 to know.

00:42:31.880 Today,

00:42:33.000 what if

00:42:33.600 everybody knows

00:42:34.240 you're gay?

00:42:35.680 You get

00:42:36.300 more job

00:42:36.760 offers,

00:42:37.600 right?

00:42:37.940 I mean,

00:42:38.240 there isn't

00:42:38.540 a downside

00:42:38.960 to it.

00:42:39.760 You get

00:42:40.200 more job

00:42:40.620 offers.

00:42:41.340 That's

00:42:41.540 exactly

00:42:41.920 what happens.

00:42:43.280 So,

00:42:44.520 don't

00:42:46.160 automatically

00:42:46.760 think that

00:42:47.580 loss of

00:42:48.060 privacy leads

00:42:48.840 to a worse

00:42:49.520 outcome.

00:42:50.740 It could.

00:42:51.240 I mean,

00:42:51.900 that's an

00:42:52.420 easy story

00:42:52.980 to make

00:42:53.360 that it

00:42:53.680 could.

00:42:54.780 But every

00:42:55.260 time it's

00:42:55.680 happened,

00:42:57.800 not every

00:42:58.660 time,

00:42:59.100 I don't want

00:42:59.580 to speak

00:42:59.860 in an

00:43:00.120 absolute

00:43:00.460 about this,

00:43:01.220 but the

00:43:01.740 examples I

00:43:02.380 can think

00:43:02.820 of,

00:43:03.340 you've got

00:43:03.740 something

00:43:04.060 pretty good

00:43:04.580 for it

00:43:04.900 in return.

00:43:05.940 Now,

00:43:06.320 in order

00:43:06.680 for this

00:43:07.140 to work,

00:43:08.860 everybody

00:43:09.260 has to

00:43:09.720 lose their

00:43:10.080 privacy

00:43:10.480 about at

00:43:10.960 the same

00:43:11.260 time.

00:43:12.620 The worst

00:43:13.420 situation is

00:43:14.160 some people

00:43:14.560 have privacy

00:43:15.100 and others

00:43:15.520 don't.

00:43:16.500 That's

00:43:17.020 untenable.

00:43:18.700 You cannot

00:43:19.200 have that.

00:43:20.080 You can't

00:43:20.580 have your

00:43:20.940 leaders

00:43:21.320 private and

00:43:21.980 then you

00:43:22.360 not.

00:43:23.820 That doesn't

00:43:24.680 work.

00:43:25.380 Now,

00:43:25.580 we might

00:43:25.940 drift into

00:43:26.460 that situation,

00:43:27.220 which would

00:43:27.440 be terrible.

00:43:28.680 But,

00:43:30.020 if you're

00:43:31.500 only talking

00:43:31.900 about conceptual

00:43:32.800 level,

00:43:34.100 you know,

00:43:34.300 without all

00:43:34.740 the humans

00:43:35.260 ruining

00:43:35.800 everything,

00:43:36.620 at a

00:43:36.960 conceptual

00:43:37.400 level,

00:43:38.500 if our

00:43:39.120 leaders were

00:43:39.780 as transparent

00:43:40.580 as they

00:43:41.100 want to

00:43:41.460 make us,

00:43:42.820 we'd

00:43:43.140 probably

00:43:43.340 come out

00:43:43.640 ahead.

00:43:45.880 Think

00:43:46.360 about it.

00:43:47.040 Imagine if

00:43:47.620 your leaders

00:43:48.100 were as

00:43:48.740 transparent,

00:43:49.600 like you

00:43:49.980 could just

00:43:50.300 know

00:43:50.480 everything

00:43:50.800 about where

00:43:51.320 their money

00:43:51.700 is and

00:43:52.260 what they're

00:43:53.660 doing and

00:43:54.160 stuff,

00:43:55.220 you're not

00:43:55.940 going to

00:43:56.120 have too

00:43:56.440 much of

00:43:57.380 an issue

00:43:57.740 with your

00:43:58.100 government

00:43:58.420 abusing you

00:43:59.080 because you

00:43:59.440 just watch

00:43:59.940 everything they

00:44:00.420 do.

00:44:01.320 You know

00:44:01.880 everything they

00:44:02.360 do.

00:44:02.800 The worst

00:44:03.500 case is the

00:44:04.260 government

00:44:04.560 keeps their 0.78

00:44:05.300 own personal

00:44:06.620 privacy and

00:44:07.640 you lose

00:44:08.140 yours.

00:44:09.000 And we

00:44:09.440 are heading

00:44:09.840 in that

00:44:10.100 direction.

00:44:11.460 We're sort

00:44:11.980 of drifting in

00:44:12.560 that direction.

00:44:13.400 So I'm not

00:44:13.920 saying that this

00:44:14.600 is all roses.

00:44:16.100 I'm just

00:44:16.460 saying that if

00:44:17.160 the only thing

00:44:17.880 you can imagine

00:44:18.480 is it'll turn

00:44:19.200 out bad,

00:44:19.860 I think

00:44:20.860 that's the

00:44:21.240 least likely

00:44:21.880 outcome.

00:44:23.140 But definitely

00:44:23.780 a big risk.

00:44:25.240 Nothing you

00:44:25.780 should ignore.

00:44:30.280 Let's see,

00:44:31.080 anything else

00:44:31.540 happening here?

00:44:32.860 The latest

00:44:33.620 data is that

00:44:35.840 catching COVID

00:44:36.540 could give you

00:44:37.940 erectile dysfunction

00:44:39.000 because apparently

00:44:40.340 that COVID

00:44:41.040 likes to cluster

00:44:42.140 in your junk

00:44:43.000 if you're a guy.

00:44:44.040 guy.

00:44:45.080 Now,

00:44:46.280 isn't it a

00:44:47.820 coincidence that

00:44:49.480 just at the

00:44:50.400 time the

00:44:51.680 persuasion about

00:44:53.460 getting vaccinated

00:44:54.200 started to

00:44:55.100 peter out?

00:44:56.100 In other words,

00:44:56.800 we'd vaccinated

00:44:57.540 everybody that

00:44:58.500 was probably

00:44:59.100 going to agree

00:44:59.620 to it by this

00:45:00.240 point or

00:45:00.920 something close

00:45:01.480 to it.

00:45:02.320 And the only

00:45:03.180 people left

00:45:03.780 were the hard

00:45:04.420 cases, the

00:45:05.840 really hard

00:45:06.300 cases.

00:45:06.600 You're never

00:45:07.000 going to convince

00:45:07.720 me to get that

00:45:08.540 vaccination.

00:45:09.000 And then

00:45:10.100 suddenly,

00:45:11.040 right on time,

00:45:13.000 just when you

00:45:13.720 need it the

00:45:14.320 most, a study

00:45:15.840 comes out that

00:45:17.300 suggests that

00:45:18.000 getting COVID

00:45:18.520 could make your

00:45:19.400 penis not work.

00:45:21.820 That's a little

00:45:22.860 bit too on the

00:45:23.680 nose, isn't it?

00:45:25.460 Yeah, it

00:45:25.900 petered out.

00:45:27.540 That was

00:45:28.300 accidental pun,

00:45:29.780 petered out.

00:45:31.440 My only problem

00:45:32.620 with this is that

00:45:33.700 it's too

00:45:34.200 convenient.

00:45:36.040 It's like,

00:45:36.540 really?

00:45:37.780 You know,

00:45:38.060 we watch one

00:45:39.040 study after

00:45:39.660 another that

00:45:40.320 turns out to

00:45:41.000 be BS because

00:45:41.860 they've done

00:45:42.220 something wrong.

00:45:43.120 Is this the

00:45:43.780 one that they

00:45:44.560 did right?

00:45:46.220 Do you think

00:45:46.620 that this one

00:45:47.220 perfectly timed,

00:45:49.080 on-the-nose,

00:45:50.180 most persuasive

00:45:51.040 thing you could

00:45:51.660 ever say just

00:45:54.520 happened on its

00:45:55.260 own?

00:45:56.460 Pure coincidence.

00:45:58.960 Could be.

00:46:00.300 Well, you can't

00:46:00.880 rule out

00:46:01.280 coincidence,

00:46:02.020 unfortunately.

00:46:02.580 You can never

00:46:03.000 rule it out.

00:46:04.260 That's sort of

00:46:05.500 in the nature

00:46:05.960 of a coincidence.

00:46:06.520 But, I

00:46:08.660 don't know.

00:46:09.500 Call me

00:46:09.920 skeptical on

00:46:10.640 this one.

00:46:11.900 But, hey.

00:46:13.300 And also, we

00:46:13.920 don't know if

00:46:14.340 the vaccination

00:46:14.880 would hurt

00:46:16.240 your dick 0.89

00:46:16.780 more than

00:46:17.320 the COVID,

00:46:18.120 so it's

00:46:18.720 all unknowns.

00:46:22.460 That,

00:46:23.360 ladies and 0.98

00:46:23.940 gentlemen,

00:46:24.780 is the best

00:46:27.600 show that

00:46:28.560 anybody has

00:46:29.060 ever put on.

00:46:29.640 I think I've

00:46:33.560 delivered.

00:46:36.220 I think that

00:46:37.200 I've met my

00:46:38.160 standard of the

00:46:38.960 best show that's

00:46:39.800 ever been put

00:46:40.340 on.

00:46:44.040 How can there

00:46:44.800 be any privacy

00:46:45.740 in the metaverse?

00:46:46.740 Oh, that's

00:46:47.660 interesting.

00:46:49.180 If your life,

00:46:51.160 let's say your

00:46:51.600 social life,

00:46:52.200 moves to the

00:46:52.820 metaverse,

00:46:53.380 or even your

00:46:53.940 financial life,

00:46:54.780 even your

00:46:55.340 professional life,

00:46:56.460 I guess,

00:46:56.760 could all be

00:46:57.920 in the

00:46:58.140 metaverse.

00:46:59.380 The metaverse,

00:47:00.240 by its nature,

00:47:02.440 is going to

00:47:02.900 know everything

00:47:03.320 about you,

00:47:03.880 which means,

00:47:04.760 you know,

00:47:05.860 Meta, the

00:47:06.400 company, will

00:47:06.900 know everything

00:47:07.360 about you if

00:47:07.880 they choose

00:47:08.260 to.

00:47:14.000 Erica says

00:47:14.780 she needs a 0.99

00:47:15.280 cigarette after

00:47:15.960 today's show.

00:47:17.200 It was that

00:47:17.880 good.

00:47:18.740 And I agree.

00:47:19.580 Erica, I think

00:47:20.140 you're right.

00:47:21.180 It was that

00:47:22.120 good.

00:47:23.520 And

00:47:23.880 people need

00:47:26.740 to learn

00:47:27.180 more about

00:47:27.700 DAOs and

00:47:28.740 DEXs and 1.00

00:47:29.980 DeFi.

00:47:31.180 Yeah, let me

00:47:31.620 give you some

00:47:32.040 homework.

00:47:33.580 If you would

00:47:34.160 like to be,

00:47:35.140 let's say,

00:47:35.920 capable of

00:47:37.120 predicting the

00:47:37.840 future,

00:47:39.180 one of the

00:47:39.760 things you

00:47:40.140 should do a

00:47:40.920 quick Google

00:47:41.520 search on,

00:47:42.220 and just get

00:47:42.980 the high-level

00:47:43.720 understanding of

00:47:44.560 it, is called

00:47:45.620 a DAO.

00:47:46.460 D-A-O. 0.99

00:47:48.100 It's in the

00:47:48.700 crypto world

00:47:49.560 with blockchain,

00:47:50.660 et cetera.

00:47:51.280 It's a way to

00:47:52.180 organize an

00:47:53.100 organization using

00:47:54.280 tokens to decide

00:47:56.140 who has what

00:47:56.680 power to do

00:47:57.280 what.

00:47:58.280 But there's

00:47:58.880 tons of

00:47:59.600 flexibility,

00:48:00.440 things you can

00:48:01.100 do with it,

00:48:01.540 and they're

00:48:01.740 just figuring

00:48:02.220 it out.

00:48:03.240 So it's

00:48:03.720 entirely possible

00:48:04.540 that the

00:48:05.880 republic,

00:48:06.600 democracy,

00:48:07.600 everything we

00:48:08.080 know about

00:48:08.520 corporate

00:48:09.100 governance are

00:48:10.440 all just about

00:48:11.080 to go out the

00:48:11.600 window.

00:48:12.940 One of the

00:48:13.560 biggest changes

00:48:14.240 this civilization

00:48:15.100 could ever

00:48:15.640 experience is

00:48:17.340 the DAO,

00:48:18.360 D-A-O. 0.99

00:48:20.160 Now, it

00:48:21.060 might not,

00:48:22.320 I mean, it

00:48:22.680 could be the

00:48:23.200 flying car of

00:48:24.440 blockchain.

00:48:25.700 It could be

00:48:26.060 something we

00:48:26.560 always think is

00:48:27.100 coming and

00:48:27.640 never does,

00:48:28.980 never makes an

00:48:29.680 impact possible.

00:48:30.980 But there are a

00:48:31.740 lot of people

00:48:32.140 really, really

00:48:32.760 smart who are

00:48:33.420 saying,

00:48:33.860 uh, watch

00:48:34.440 this.

00:48:35.360 This could just

00:48:36.060 change everything.

00:48:37.200 You would only

00:48:37.900 need a few

00:48:38.920 successful projects

00:48:40.620 for it to

00:48:42.660 become the

00:48:43.400 thing.

00:48:45.660 All right.

00:48:48.740 Harmony One

00:48:49.460 blockchain.

00:48:50.680 You know, I

00:48:52.120 can only get

00:48:52.640 about this

00:48:53.120 deep into the

00:48:53.860 blockchain stuff,

00:48:54.700 and if I

00:48:55.040 talked about

00:48:55.540 it, it

00:48:55.860 wouldn't mean

00:48:56.920 too much to

00:48:57.600 most of you.

00:48:58.260 But I would

00:48:58.660 say that for

00:48:59.360 your own

00:48:59.820 education, you

00:49:01.320 need to at

00:49:02.040 least get up to

00:49:02.980 speed on what

00:49:03.720 a DAO is,

00:49:04.500 D-A-O, 1.00

00:49:05.700 distributed

00:49:06.540 autonomous

00:49:07.500 organization.

00:49:09.220 So it's a

00:49:09.980 leaderless

00:49:10.800 organization that

00:49:11.640 could still

00:49:12.020 work.

00:49:15.240 Scott, did

00:49:15.880 you see Adam

00:49:16.400 Townsend claim

00:49:17.320 China wants to 0.98

00:49:18.080 cut one-third of

00:49:18.920 its population?

00:49:19.860 I don't know

00:49:20.220 anything about

00:49:20.900 that.

00:49:22.160 You saw me on

00:49:22.640 Dr. Drew, and

00:49:23.220 it was great.

00:49:23.720 Thank you.

00:49:28.080 Yeah, I don't

00:49:28.720 know anything

00:49:29.020 about Adam

00:49:30.060 Townsend's

00:49:30.700 prediction about

00:49:31.520 that.

00:49:32.500 I don't know

00:49:33.060 what that would

00:49:33.420 be about.

00:49:35.420 How do you

00:49:35.980 increase your

00:49:36.580 blood oxygen?

00:49:39.300 See your

00:49:39.820 doctor.

00:49:40.800 You might

00:49:41.080 have asthma.

00:49:45.020 I feel like I

00:49:45.800 just cured

00:49:46.260 somebody.

00:49:46.680 There are

00:49:48.960 probably people

00:49:49.580 here who have

00:49:50.140 measured their

00:49:51.520 oxygen levels

00:49:53.220 and it's a

00:49:53.620 little low.

00:49:54.560 They don't

00:49:54.920 know why.

00:49:56.680 You might

00:49:57.300 have asthma.

00:49:58.660 You might

00:49:59.120 need to get

00:50:00.020 on an

00:50:00.300 asthma med.

00:50:03.340 All right.

00:50:04.540 I'm going

00:50:05.100 to do

00:50:06.940 briefing

00:50:07.360 exercises.

00:50:08.700 What's that?

00:50:09.520 Oh,

00:50:09.700 breathing

00:50:09.960 exercises you

00:50:10.620 need.

00:50:10.740 Yeah,

00:50:11.780 look into

00:50:12.200 the Wim 0.83

00:50:12.840 Hoff

00:50:13.460 breathing

00:50:14.300 exercises.

00:50:16.980 Hoff is

00:50:17.620 spelled H-O-F

00:50:18.600 and his

00:50:19.280 first name

00:50:19.740 is just

00:50:20.100 Wim,

00:50:20.740 W-I-M. 1.00

00:50:25.500 Blake

00:50:26.000 Jameson,

00:50:27.140 do I want

00:50:27.700 to chat

00:50:28.120 about what?

00:50:32.060 All right.

00:50:32.800 All right.

00:50:32.840 talking about

00:50:37.320 boom,

00:50:37.600 boom,

00:50:37.840 boom.

00:50:41.980 Oh,

00:50:42.480 here's a

00:50:42.820 funny idea

00:50:44.080 from the

00:50:45.600 laser guy.

00:50:46.320 I always

00:50:46.660 talk about

00:50:47.040 aggressive

00:50:47.520 compliance,

00:50:48.780 breaking a

00:50:49.400 system by

00:50:49.920 complying to

00:50:50.600 it too

00:50:51.140 specifically.

00:50:52.720 And the

00:50:53.540 suggestion is

00:50:54.340 time for

00:50:55.400 aggressive

00:50:55.780 compliance.

00:50:56.340 If everyone

00:50:57.280 quarantines for

00:50:58.180 five days,

00:50:58.980 the government

00:50:59.380 has to end

00:51:00.060 the pandemic.

00:51:01.580 He's right.

00:51:02.260 If we all

00:51:03.120 just said,

00:51:03.540 hey,

00:51:04.280 I feel like,

00:51:04.980 I don't know,

00:51:05.380 I got a little

00:51:05.740 body ache.

00:51:06.900 I don't have

00:51:07.580 a test.

00:51:08.760 I guess I

00:51:09.140 better stay

00:51:09.500 home for

00:51:09.800 five days.

00:51:10.940 If everybody

00:51:11.500 just decided

00:51:12.120 to stay

00:51:12.440 home for

00:51:12.720 five days,

00:51:13.200 the whole

00:51:13.340 country would

00:51:13.840 shut down.

00:51:15.180 It would

00:51:15.460 take about

00:51:15.840 24 hours

00:51:16.680 for the

00:51:17.280 pandemic to

00:51:18.040 be over.

00:51:19.000 Now,

00:51:19.240 I don't

00:51:19.420 think we

00:51:19.740 could ever

00:51:20.040 organize

00:51:20.420 such a

00:51:20.800 thing.

00:51:21.340 And I

00:51:21.580 think it's

00:51:21.860 going to

00:51:22.020 happen on

00:51:22.540 its own.

00:51:23.480 I think

00:51:23.860 we're

00:51:24.020 where we

00:51:24.400 want to

00:51:24.640 be.

00:51:25.880 Scott,

00:51:26.340 who

00:51:26.440 trained you

00:51:26.940 in

00:51:27.120 hypnotism?

00:51:28.480 I

00:51:28.800 went to

00:51:32.260 Francisco

00:51:32.580 that no

00:51:33.880 longer

00:51:34.160 exists.

00:51:36.720 School

00:51:37.280 means one

00:51:38.060 hypnotist was

00:51:39.080 teaching a

00:51:39.600 course,

00:51:39.940 basically.

00:51:42.860 The

00:51:43.420 flatten the

00:51:43.880 curve.

00:51:47.760 I don't

00:51:48.560 talk about

00:51:49.060 the flatten

00:51:49.620 the curve

00:51:50.080 not working

00:51:50.760 because to

00:51:51.680 me the

00:51:51.940 whole story

00:51:52.440 there is

00:51:52.940 it was

00:51:53.500 worth a

00:51:53.840 try and

00:51:55.040 it didn't

00:51:55.320 work.

00:51:56.880 If that

00:51:57.680 has any

00:51:58.160 lingering

00:51:59.000 impact on

00:52:00.840 your

00:52:01.160 understanding

00:52:02.080 of what

00:52:02.580 we're

00:52:02.720 doing

00:52:02.980 now,

00:52:03.420 it

00:52:03.640 shouldn't

00:52:04.100 because we

00:52:05.660 did exactly

00:52:06.300 the right

00:52:06.720 thing,

00:52:07.720 which was

00:52:08.180 we tried

00:52:08.740 something in

00:52:09.880 the context

00:52:10.660 of not

00:52:11.040 knowing what

00:52:11.480 would work

00:52:11.880 and what

00:52:12.180 wouldn't.

00:52:13.280 We tried

00:52:13.940 something we

00:52:14.560 could reverse

00:52:15.200 if it

00:52:15.560 didn't work.

00:52:16.660 It didn't

00:52:17.340 work,

00:52:18.400 so we

00:52:19.820 stopped doing

00:52:20.260 it.

00:52:21.260 I don't

00:52:22.060 consider that

00:52:22.640 a mistake.

00:52:23.980 I consider

00:52:24.540 that a

00:52:25.060 good decision

00:52:26.000 that didn't

00:52:26.800 work out.

00:52:27.800 That's very

00:52:28.300 different.

00:52:31.300 All

00:52:31.500 right.

00:52:32.080 Vax

00:52:35.020 cards on

00:52:35.640 February 1?

00:52:36.800 I don't

00:52:37.080 know.

00:52:38.880 I doubt

00:52:39.560 it.

00:52:42.100 Many

00:52:42.580 knew that

00:52:43.040 flattening the

00:52:43.580 curve was a

00:52:44.160 bad idea.

00:52:44.720 No,

00:52:44.900 they didn't.

00:52:45.600 No,

00:52:46.040 they didn't.

00:52:47.560 There's

00:52:48.000 nobody who's

00:52:48.540 more annoying

00:52:49.160 than the

00:52:49.540 person who

00:52:49.920 guesses right

00:52:50.700 and then

00:52:51.420 says they

00:52:51.800 knew it

00:52:52.080 all along.

00:52:53.400 Nobody

00:52:53.840 knew that

00:52:54.580 flattening the

00:52:55.220 curve wouldn't

00:52:55.700 work.

00:52:57.260 You probably,

00:52:57.900 you know,

00:52:58.180 a lot of

00:52:58.500 people thought

00:52:59.080 it wouldn't

00:52:59.580 or had an

00:52:59.980 opinion,

00:53:00.260 but nobody

00:53:00.780 knew.

00:53:01.700 That's why

00:53:02.100 you test

00:53:02.520 it.

00:53:03.540 That's

00:53:03.960 exactly why

00:53:04.560 you test

00:53:04.960 it.

00:53:05.120 It

00:53:05.220 couldn't

00:53:05.440 be

00:53:05.580 knowable.

00:53:08.200 All right.

00:53:08.860 Yeah,

00:53:09.060 you guessed

00:53:09.400 right.

00:53:10.040 So good

00:53:10.420 for you.

00:53:10.740 You guessed

00:53:11.040 right.

00:53:11.260 If I

00:53:14.800 were a

00:53:15.000 dictator,

00:53:15.500 what

00:53:15.600 government

00:53:15.920 agencies

00:53:16.480 would

00:53:16.820 you

00:53:16.940 ask?

00:53:17.520 All

00:53:17.880 of

00:53:18.020 them,

00:53:19.040 because I'm

00:53:19.380 a dictator.

00:53:20.400 They just

00:53:20.780 have to do

00:53:21.160 what I tell

00:53:21.500 them to do.

00:53:24.540 Scott,

00:53:25.020 wait,

00:53:25.280 wait.

00:53:25.820 There's a

00:53:26.280 picture of

00:53:26.700 you online

00:53:27.320 with your

00:53:27.700 shirt off.

00:53:28.280 Is it

00:53:28.600 real?

00:53:29.860 Well,

00:53:30.260 there's more

00:53:30.600 than one

00:53:31.020 picture of

00:53:31.540 me with

00:53:31.840 my shirt

00:53:32.220 off on

00:53:32.560 the

00:53:32.660 internet,

00:53:33.620 and the

00:53:34.800 only ones

00:53:35.120 I know

00:53:35.420 of are

00:53:35.700 real.

00:53:36.660 I don't

00:53:36.940 know if

00:53:37.160 there's

00:53:37.320 any fake

00:53:37.840 ones.

00:53:38.940 Now,

00:53:39.820 to defend

00:53:40.760 myself,

00:53:41.260 if I

00:53:41.540 may,

00:53:43.000 if you're

00:53:43.760 over 60,

00:53:44.400 you really

00:53:44.720 shouldn't

00:53:45.060 take your

00:53:45.460 shirt off

00:53:46.060 on the

00:53:46.540 internet.

00:53:47.760 It's not

00:53:48.300 really anything

00:53:49.560 anybody wants

00:53:50.040 to look at,

00:53:50.700 even if you're

00:53:52.480 in good

00:53:52.740 shape.

00:53:53.380 Nobody

00:53:53.660 really wants

00:53:54.180 to look at

00:53:54.520 that shit.

00:53:55.540 Once you're

00:53:56.160 a certain

00:53:56.440 age,

00:53:56.860 if we're

00:53:57.220 being honest,

00:53:58.040 you could

00:53:58.560 be the

00:53:58.900 best-looking

00:53:59.600 65-year-old

00:54:01.540 ever.

00:54:02.660 Nobody

00:54:03.100 wants to

00:54:03.460 really look

00:54:03.780 at that

00:54:04.020 shit,

00:54:04.940 if I'm

00:54:05.260 being honest,

00:54:05.880 right?

00:54:07.020 But,

00:54:07.620 if you

00:54:08.360 write a

00:54:09.340 book about

00:54:10.100 how to

00:54:10.640 develop

00:54:11.080 systems for

00:54:12.260 fitness and

00:54:13.060 diet,

00:54:14.200 I feel like

00:54:14.820 you're obligated

00:54:15.440 to take

00:54:15.800 your shirt

00:54:16.120 off on

00:54:17.040 the internet.

00:54:18.160 Because if

00:54:18.840 you're saying,

00:54:19.620 I use these

00:54:20.140 systems and

00:54:20.780 you should

00:54:21.120 use them

00:54:21.540 too,

00:54:22.340 you've got

00:54:22.720 to show

00:54:23.000 your work.

00:54:24.600 Now,

00:54:25.200 Geraldo was

00:54:25.940 not promoting

00:54:26.620 a system

00:54:27.240 for being

00:54:27.720 fit.

00:54:29.140 So,

00:54:29.380 that was

00:54:29.660 just Geraldo

00:54:31.140 being Geraldo.

00:54:32.060 Which,

00:54:32.440 by the way,

00:54:33.460 I love

00:54:34.060 Geraldo.

00:54:35.640 I love

00:54:36.420 that guy.

00:54:37.160 I don't agree

00:54:37.800 with him on

00:54:38.320 all of his

00:54:38.740 opinions.

00:54:39.340 Nobody does.

00:54:40.520 But,

00:54:40.880 I just love

00:54:41.520 that guy.

00:54:42.320 The fact

00:54:42.860 that he took

00:54:43.320 his shirt

00:54:43.700 off at

00:54:44.240 70,

00:54:44.900 whatever,

00:54:45.700 and said,

00:54:46.180 hey,

00:54:46.340 he's still

00:54:46.620 looking pretty

00:54:47.060 good.

00:54:47.760 He was

00:54:48.340 right,

00:54:49.420 right?

00:54:50.420 For his

00:54:51.120 age,

00:54:51.520 he looked

00:54:52.020 amazing.

00:54:53.620 And,

00:54:53.960 I give him

00:54:55.220 full credit

00:54:55.680 for that.

00:54:56.420 Now,

00:54:56.880 not everybody

00:54:57.520 would take

00:54:57.900 their shirt

00:54:58.300 off in that

00:54:58.800 situation,

00:54:59.620 but that's

00:54:59.900 why I like

00:55:00.360 him.

00:55:01.160 I like him

00:55:01.760 because he

00:55:02.180 did that.

00:55:03.200 He has no

00:55:03.840 sense of

00:55:04.260 embarrassment.

00:55:05.100 It's like a

00:55:05.500 superpower.

00:55:05.860 Would you

00:55:07.620 rather be

00:55:08.140 you,

00:55:09.320 whatever you

00:55:10.200 is,

00:55:11.060 or would

00:55:11.560 you rather

00:55:11.960 have the

00:55:12.480 balls to

00:55:13.740 take your

00:55:14.160 shirt off

00:55:14.680 in your

00:55:14.980 70s and

00:55:15.740 tell people,

00:55:16.340 hey,

00:55:16.500 this looks

00:55:16.780 pretty good,

00:55:17.200 doesn't it?

00:55:18.260 That takes

00:55:18.960 a lot of

00:55:19.520 balls.

00:55:20.740 If there's

00:55:21.360 one thing

00:55:21.840 that you

00:55:22.440 can't

00:55:23.440 complain about

00:55:24.760 Geraldo,

00:55:26.120 you can't

00:55:26.920 complain about

00:55:27.500 and be

00:55:27.760 afraid of

00:55:28.260 shit.

00:55:29.140 He doesn't

00:55:29.640 seem to be

00:55:30.120 afraid of

00:55:30.540 anything.

00:55:31.620 And that's

00:55:32.240 one of his

00:55:32.620 best features.

00:55:33.520 So you don't

00:55:33.840 want to lose

00:55:34.260 that.

00:55:34.520 The fact

00:55:35.540 that he

00:55:35.740 took his

00:55:36.100 shirt off

00:55:36.600 in his

00:55:37.460 70s,

00:55:39.240 I'll

00:55:39.700 always like

00:55:40.300 him more

00:55:40.660 for that.

00:55:41.840 To me,

00:55:42.400 that was

00:55:42.620 all positive.

00:55:45.160 But at

00:55:45.660 the same

00:55:45.980 time,

00:55:46.240 I can say

00:55:46.620 nobody wants

00:55:47.160 to see an

00:55:47.560 old man

00:55:47.940 with their

00:55:48.280 shirt off

00:55:48.660 even if

00:55:49.040 they look

00:55:49.360 good for

00:55:50.440 their age.

00:55:54.200 So the

00:55:55.020 two shirtless

00:55:56.720 selfies of

00:55:57.360 me are

00:55:57.980 two different

00:55:59.160 looks.

00:56:00.240 I did

00:56:00.820 one in my

00:56:01.560 late 50s

00:56:02.420 in which I

00:56:02.900 was trying

00:56:03.140 to see how

00:56:03.580 lean I

00:56:04.040 could get.

00:56:04.520 See if

00:56:04.940 I could

00:56:05.140 get a

00:56:05.640 six-pack.

00:56:06.540 So that

00:56:06.920 was sort

00:56:07.220 of the

00:56:07.520 six-pack

00:56:08.240 picture.

00:56:09.360 But I

00:56:09.980 got a lot

00:56:10.300 of comments

00:56:10.740 from people

00:56:11.160 who said

00:56:11.480 it was

00:56:11.720 too thin.

00:56:13.020 And that

00:56:13.440 as a

00:56:14.240 man,

00:56:15.140 it was

00:56:15.440 not a

00:56:16.440 look that

00:56:16.860 people wanted

00:56:17.320 to look at.

00:56:17.980 It was a

00:56:18.280 little too

00:56:18.600 thin.

00:56:19.620 And so I

00:56:20.520 took that

00:56:20.960 advice and

00:56:21.640 tried to

00:56:22.340 add a

00:56:23.700 little bulk

00:56:24.680 to things.

00:56:26.920 So the

00:56:27.420 second more

00:56:28.180 recent picture

00:56:28.780 is the

00:56:29.500 little bulkier

00:56:30.580 picture in

00:56:31.180 which the

00:56:31.580 abs are 1.00

00:56:32.200 de-emphasized

00:56:33.720 and the

00:56:34.120 shoulders and

00:56:34.780 arms are

00:56:35.140 emphasized.

00:56:36.700 Anyway,

00:56:37.420 that's all for

00:56:37.880 today and I'm

00:56:38.800 going to go do

00:56:39.680 something else.

00:56:41.240 Thank you for

00:56:42.020 being here for

00:56:42.680 the best

00:56:44.300 damn live

00:56:46.740 stream of

00:56:47.440 all times.

00:56:48.620 Of all

00:56:49.100 time!

00:56:49.460 Thanks for

00:56:50.900 being here.
