Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1641 Scott Adams： The Public Takes Control of Mask Mandates Starting Today. And More Revolutionary Fun #Feb1

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Hashtag February 1st, sort of like July 4th in some

00:00:12.160 countries, and today will be the beginning of our clawing back our freedom that we have

00:00:18.000 somewhat voluntarily, and in many cases involuntarily, given to our government.

00:00:24.220 But we'll talk about that after the simultaneous sip powers us up to maximum levels of awesomeness,

00:00:32.920 and if I may, I know this is a little off-topic, but have you been working out?

00:00:39.920 You look great.

00:00:41.680 I mean, seriously, whatever you're doing, keep doing it.

00:00:45.960 You look fantastic.

00:00:47.880 I just had to say that today.

00:00:49.100 But here's what you need to make today special, even more special than it already is.

00:00:54.920 You need a cupper, a mug, or a glass, a tanker, a chelsea stein, a canteen, a jug, or a flask,

00:00:58.580 a vessel of any kind, even a truck.

00:01:01.860 Fill it with your favorite beverage.

00:01:03.760 I like coffee.

00:01:05.800 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day that makes everything better.

00:01:10.480 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:01:14.760 Go.

00:01:19.100 Ah, yeah.

00:01:22.340 Mmm, yeah.

00:01:24.520 Tastes like, let me, one moment.

00:01:28.700 We have to try this again.

00:01:30.560 I thought I detected a slight note of something that I haven't tasted for a while.

00:01:37.120 One more, one more try.

00:01:41.980 Yes, yes. 1.00

00:01:44.380 It's fucking freedom. 1.00

00:01:46.140 It's freedom. 1.00

00:01:47.600 That's what it tastes like.

00:01:49.100 And today, my fine audience, depending upon where you are, let us declare our, at least

00:01:59.820 our freedom from mandates.

00:02:03.100 Now, how do you get your freedom from mandates if you can't fly?

00:02:07.540 Don't book a flight.

00:02:08.360 I would ask you that for the following, let's say, week or two, just don't book a flight.

00:02:18.080 See if you can force the airlines to recognize a 20% decline in revenue, and see if they start

00:02:24.460 pressing the government.

00:02:25.680 How much revenue would the airlines need to lose before they would press their government

00:02:31.540 to drop mandates?

00:02:34.240 20%?

00:02:35.400 I think we could do 20%.

00:02:36.400 Just give me two weeks.

00:02:39.240 Don't book any flights.

00:02:40.400 You can book them later.

00:02:41.940 You know, don't change your summer plans.

00:02:44.940 Just give me two weeks.

00:02:47.060 Crash their bookings for two weeks.

00:02:50.380 Mandates go away.

00:02:52.040 Let's talk about masks.

00:02:55.500 So, the first one, context.

00:02:57.960 The death rate, unfortunately, did not plunge as quickly as we'd hoped.

00:03:01.760 So, it's still about 2,500 a day in the United States.

00:03:04.880 And that's sort of high.

00:03:06.580 Sort of high.

00:03:07.200 But we do expect this is an Omicron peak.

00:03:10.560 This should decrease soon.

00:03:12.520 And here's the context that matters.

00:03:16.120 Probably only 20% of those deaths are vaccinated at this point.

00:03:21.300 Which means you can take 20% of that number and say, that's the real number you're working

00:03:25.840 with.

00:03:26.620 Because everyone else chose their path.

00:03:30.440 Some people chose a different risk profile.

00:03:34.420 Now, I'm not talking about immunocompromised people.

00:03:37.100 They've got an issue.

00:03:38.820 And you have to have some empathy for that.

00:03:41.720 But, for all the rest of the people, if you're not vaccinated, that was the choice you made.

00:03:47.300 You're happy with your 99-whatever-percent chance of being fine.

00:03:51.720 And I'm happy with you, too.

00:03:54.160 I'm not unhappy with anybody un-vaxxed.

00:03:57.060 Are you?

00:03:58.140 I mean, I suppose some people are.

00:04:00.300 But, at this point, we all chose our adventure.

00:04:03.880 And that makes the real risk for the people who are unwilling to take it so low that it's

00:04:10.880 now baseline.

00:04:12.360 So, we're into baseline risk.

00:04:14.640 Someone asked me today, sure, if you take off your mask, that's fine for your risk management.

00:04:20.160 But what about mine?

00:04:21.860 You know, what about the other people that you might expose by taking your mask off?

00:04:26.560 To which I say, perfectly good question.

00:04:29.340 Perfectly good question.

00:04:30.280 And it's in the baseline.

00:04:33.400 Every time I get in an automobile and drive it, I'm putting at risk people on sidewalks 0.98

00:04:39.560 who don't even have cars, in many cases.

00:04:42.560 They don't even get the benefits of driving.

00:04:44.540 I get the benefits of driving.

00:04:47.760 They don't get any of those benefits. 1.00

00:04:49.500 But I might, you know, hop over a curb and kill them. 1.00

00:04:52.840 So, they do have some costs. 1.00

00:04:55.060 None of the benefits.

00:04:56.260 Or at least, not the direct benefits of driving.

00:04:59.080 So, realize that this world is full of all of us implying or imposing risks on other people.

00:05:07.080 You can't get away with that.

00:05:08.280 You know, there's no way to get around the fact that we're all imposing risks on each other.

00:05:13.400 You just have to get that risk down to the baseline level.

00:05:17.420 And I would say we're there.

00:05:19.800 And so, given that our governor in California has already gone maskless at a major event,

00:05:26.400 and because February 1st was a quite reasonable date for the government to either have acted,

00:05:31.720 in California in particular, either have acted, or at least tell us when the deadline is likely to pass,

00:05:38.100 which would have been a fine, I would have accepted that, actually,

00:05:41.120 if they just said, well, it's not today, but here's the day, and it's a few weeks,

00:05:45.280 I'd say, ah, that's close enough.

00:05:47.820 But they didn't do anything like that.

00:05:49.960 Instead, they just didn't wear their mask where there was a mandate, the governor.

00:05:54.960 Now, here's the dog that isn't barking,

00:05:59.180 although a few people made some terrible comments.

00:06:02.000 The picture, the photo of Governor Newsom was with Magic Johnson.

00:06:09.260 Most of you saw it.

00:06:10.700 They were both maskless at a football game.

00:06:13.900 And isn't it amazing that that one photo captured the entire career arc of Fauci?

00:06:24.380 Did you ever think about that?

00:06:25.620 Remember, if Fauci started with AIDS, I think you'd have to call it a success. 0.99

00:06:32.900 Why?

00:06:33.880 Well, because there's Magic Johnson.

00:06:36.140 HIV, and I don't think he ever got AIDS, right, if I have my facts right.

00:06:41.300 I think that the cocktails and drugs were, by then, sufficient that he squashed his HIV.

00:06:48.780 I mean, I guess you always have it, but...

00:06:51.620 So there's Magic Johnson, and here's the most amazing part of that picture.

00:06:57.140 The most amazing part is that AIDS wasn't the story.

00:07:05.360 I don't know.

00:07:06.220 Does Fauci get some credit for that?

00:07:08.900 I don't know all the details of what he did or didn't do.

00:07:11.640 But it's interesting that it shows his whole career arc.

00:07:14.940 And his career arc ends, because I think this is the end for Fauci,

00:07:19.440 you know, the end of this pandemic, we'll probably see his retirement, I would guess.

00:07:25.360 And you see the governor of California with no mask.

00:07:29.180 That's the end of the pandemic, right?

00:07:32.640 If the governor is in a public place with no mask, with cameras all around,

00:07:37.180 he obviously is ready for stuff to be over.

00:07:39.860 So in that one picture, I don't know if anybody else had that thought,

00:07:43.560 it just sort of coincidentally captured Fauci's entire career arc,

00:07:48.980 from curing AIDS to, not curing AIDS, but you know what I mean,

00:07:53.560 but making a big dent in the whole AIDS problem,

00:07:56.880 all the way to ending the pandemic.

00:08:01.420 That's what a maskless governor is.

00:08:04.440 That's a symbol of the end of the pandemic.

00:08:06.720 And there's Magic Johnson, the symbol of the, you know,

00:08:10.620 finally overcoming the worst parts of the AIDS epidemic.

00:08:15.440 I thought that was really, you know, I think we all had,

00:08:19.660 our first reactions were all about the mandates and stuff,

00:08:22.500 so our attention got pulled aside.

00:08:24.820 But think about the, just think about the weight of that thought,

00:08:29.120 that those two people connected an entire career that was quite meaningful.

00:08:33.560 You know, you've got, we all have our, our, you know,

00:08:38.000 we've got our criticisms of Dr. Fauci, right?

00:08:40.480 Everybody's got some criticisms.

00:08:42.420 But it's quite remarkable what he was involved in

00:08:46.180 and how much impact that had on the country and the world.

00:08:50.080 Anyway, back to my original topic.

00:08:53.020 Yesterday I went into two places that were mask mandatory, where I live,

00:08:59.680 and in neither place did I offer to put on a mask.

00:09:03.560 So two places with no mask and no apology.

00:09:08.660 In neither, in neither case was I approached.

00:09:12.540 No.

00:09:13.660 In one case, the manager and the employee were unmasked.

00:09:19.580 They'd already given up themselves.

00:09:22.000 So I would say of the local businesses,

00:09:24.760 the mandate's already done for masks, for local businesses.

00:09:29.240 I can't imagine any locally owned business asking you to put on a mask.

00:09:34.360 At least around here, it's just not going to happen.

00:09:37.160 Now, that gives you the chains.

00:09:39.900 For example, Starbucks. 1.00

00:09:41.940 In Starbucks, they would like you to do this stupid theater 1.00

00:09:44.880 where you put on your mask to order, 1.00

00:09:46.600 and then you sit down right next to where you were standing

00:09:49.620 and take your mask off because now you're eating.

00:09:53.160 Take your mask off in Starbucks.

00:09:56.300 Walk in the door without a mask.

00:09:58.980 It's February 1st.

00:10:00.840 Now, I'm not picking Starbucks as a specific place,

00:10:04.200 but if you want to be a rebel but you don't want to go all the way,

00:10:08.300 you just want to contribute,

00:10:09.320 find a soft target.

00:10:12.240 A soft target is anywhere that they have food service

00:10:15.160 because within that space,

00:10:17.080 there will be masked and unmasked people,

00:10:19.540 and that's absurd, right?

00:10:22.060 In a space with masked and unmasked people,

00:10:25.520 that's just absurd.

00:10:27.080 Don't wear a mask in those situations.

00:10:28.900 That's an easy target.

00:10:30.620 So restaurants, Starbucks,

00:10:34.060 any place anybody has a right to take off a mask,

00:10:36.820 don't ever put on a mask again.

00:10:39.320 Now, what happens if somebody comes over

00:10:41.220 and they're a Karen?

00:10:43.220 It could be an employee.

00:10:45.680 It could be another customer.

00:10:47.700 And they ask you why you're not wearing a mask

00:10:50.560 or could you please put one on.

00:10:52.160 How do you handle that?

00:10:53.680 Well, let me give you two suggestions.

00:10:56.300 Number one, travel in groups.

00:10:59.540 Don't go alone.

00:11:01.320 Bring, you know, four to six friends with you

00:11:03.960 and go out to eat or go to a store.

00:11:07.120 You know, bring five of your best friends

00:11:09.240 and go to Walmart.

00:11:10.940 And just don't, any of you wear masks

00:11:12.380 and just walk right in.

00:11:13.740 Because if they ask you to wear masks,

00:11:16.000 it's going to be sort of a six-to-one situation.

00:11:19.040 They might.

00:11:20.540 They might.

00:11:21.680 And then here's how to deal with it

00:11:23.300 if you are challenged.

00:11:26.520 Rule number one.

00:11:28.260 Rule number one.

00:11:30.040 The person challenging you is not your enemy.

00:11:32.440 They're on your side.

00:11:33.740 They don't like it any more than you do

00:11:35.280 in all likelihood, right?

00:11:37.280 They're just doing their job.

00:11:38.960 Don't make them your enemy.

00:11:40.580 That is the wrong play.

00:11:42.540 You need to get them on your side.

00:11:46.240 Here's the way to do it in a persuasive way, all right?

00:11:50.020 Here's the persuasion move

00:11:51.760 if somebody challenges you to put on a mask.

00:11:55.760 And I did it in a tweet so you can find it

00:11:58.220 if you want to reread it.

00:11:59.040 So let's say somebody says,

00:12:00.820 put on your mask, please.

00:12:01.940 Here's what you say.

00:12:04.180 Mask mandates are not enforced after February 1.

00:12:08.860 They're not enforced.

00:12:10.920 Notice I didn't say there's no mandate.

00:12:13.160 Because if you say there's no mandate, 0.96

00:12:14.860 you're a liar. 0.97

00:12:16.640 And they'll just go to the website 1.00

00:12:17.940 and they'll say,

00:12:18.540 well, here's the website.

00:12:19.980 Mandate.

00:12:20.900 Put on your mask.

00:12:22.200 So you say, no, no.

00:12:22.980 The mandate is still in place.

00:12:25.220 I agree with you.

00:12:26.160 The mandate's in place.

00:12:27.000 But there's no enforcement after February 1

00:12:29.760 by rule of the people.

00:12:33.180 Now, what is somebody going to do if you say,

00:12:35.520 no, I agree with you.

00:12:36.300 I see it.

00:12:36.880 It's right there on the website.

00:12:38.280 Totally, totally mandatory.

00:12:40.500 But after February 1, enforcement has stopped.

00:12:43.880 What is the evidence of that?

00:12:45.900 Well, as I told you before,

00:12:47.380 you should bring your photo of the governor

00:12:50.000 showing you that there's no enforcement.

00:12:53.200 Did the governor get a ticket?

00:12:56.400 What was his penalty?

00:12:58.460 It was nothing.

00:12:59.920 Now, you don't need the picture.

00:13:01.360 You could just say, what is the penalty?

00:13:04.200 You're not aware of any penalty, are you?

00:13:06.880 Am I going to get a ticket? 1.00

00:13:08.780 Now, remember, don't be an asshole. 1.00

00:13:11.560 Don't be an asshole. 1.00

00:13:12.900 Your enemy is not the person you're talking to. 1.00

00:13:15.980 Your enemy is the government.

00:13:17.800 So just leave some doubt in the person who asked,

00:13:22.360 but then move through the store.

00:13:24.340 They're not going to drag you out of Walmart.

00:13:27.540 You need to give any reason that sounds reasonable.

00:13:30.860 Any reason.

00:13:31.920 It's called the fake because.

00:13:34.080 The fake because, the reason that's not really a reason,

00:13:37.520 that works whenever the person you're trying to persuade

00:13:40.460 is already persuaded.

00:13:41.940 You're not trying to change the mind of somebody

00:13:45.340 who is on the other side.

00:13:47.340 When you're trying to change the mind,

00:13:49.800 if you can even call it that,

00:13:51.500 of somebody who's already on your team,

00:13:54.340 you give them any reason.

00:13:56.360 Any reason, and it works.

00:13:58.100 Here's the reason.

00:13:59.060 After February 1st,

00:14:00.840 the public has ruled that there's no penalty

00:14:03.160 for not wearing a mask.

00:14:06.900 There is a mandate.

00:14:07.660 So here's where you use word thinking in your favor.

00:14:13.680 I always complain about people using definitions as arguments

00:14:17.440 because it's just not rational.

00:14:20.740 You're trying to win by just defining a word a certain way.

00:14:24.180 But the fact is it works.

00:14:26.220 It works in a nonsense way.

00:14:28.420 It doesn't work logically,

00:14:31.020 but it works in a nonsense way

00:14:33.380 in terms of dealing with people

00:14:34.680 who need some nonsense once in a while.

00:14:36.620 Sometimes we need some nonsense. 0.73

00:14:39.500 That's what the fake because is. 0.96

00:14:41.740 So give them some nonsense.

00:14:43.580 Yeah, mandate?

00:14:44.640 Oh yeah, the mandate is fully in place.

00:14:47.000 But after February 1st, no penalties.

00:14:51.520 All right.

00:14:52.440 And if they go to try to research that, good luck.

00:14:58.280 And then if somebody asks about the risk to others,

00:15:01.340 I think you have to make a judgment call.

00:15:03.300 If you're standing next to an elderly person

00:15:06.400 in line at the grocery store

00:15:09.560 and, you know, you don't have a lot of space

00:15:12.620 and you can see that the elderly person is panicked,

00:15:16.560 maybe they've got some comorbidity or something, 1.00

00:15:19.140 don't be a jerk, right? 1.00

00:15:21.380 Use your judgment. 1.00

00:15:23.080 But remember, your fellow citizens are the ones you love.

00:15:26.940 The citizens are okay.

00:15:28.840 They're not your enemies.

00:15:29.820 Just do what makes sense, right?

00:15:32.600 As soon as you act irrationally,

00:15:35.300 your argument goes away.

00:15:37.260 As long as you're careful where it makes sense to be careful,

00:15:41.380 let's say a nursing home, 0.67

00:15:43.600 and as long as you're rational where it makes sense

00:15:46.660 to avoid the absurd,

00:15:48.800 being the only masked person at a Starbucks, for example,

00:15:51.940 that'd be pretty absurd,

00:15:53.440 you're fine.

00:15:56.660 All right.

00:15:58.060 So let's see how far we can push that.

00:16:02.040 And I would like you all to report back,

00:16:05.000 if that's not too much to ask.

00:16:08.320 I'm going to, you know, along with...

00:16:10.380 And by the way, I should want to give props to Greg Gutfeld

00:16:14.420 for being the primary platform

00:16:17.480 in which the February 1st has been promoted.

00:16:21.300 And Greg has been pushing this quite a bit,

00:16:24.180 and I think that's...

00:16:25.180 His will be the biggest influence on this.

00:16:27.420 He's got the platform and the influence.

00:16:30.100 And so big thank you to Greg Gutfeld

00:16:34.060 for his leadership on the February 1st thing.

00:16:38.860 But I would...

00:16:40.840 I think he would probably say the same.

00:16:42.340 I can't read his mind,

00:16:43.400 but I think we would all appreciate it

00:16:46.840 if he gave us some feedback about your situation.

00:16:50.720 So if there's a place that requires masks,

00:16:53.520 just tell me what happened.

00:16:54.720 Just tweet it at me.

00:16:56.360 And don't worry about how many tweets I get today, right?

00:17:00.460 Just put the hashtag February 1st

00:17:02.620 and describe your situation.

00:17:05.820 You know, just briefly.

00:17:07.220 Went into X store without a mask.

00:17:10.560 It was fine.

00:17:12.100 Or whatever happened.

00:17:13.980 Just tweet your experience.

00:17:16.280 We'll fill Twitter with February 1st,

00:17:19.660 you know, hashtag Feb1.

00:17:21.400 And we will build an example.

00:17:25.000 You know, people are imitators, right?

00:17:28.380 Right?

00:17:29.380 So some people want to go first,

00:17:32.200 you know, when the first 5% of people do whatever

00:17:34.420 because they're just built that way.

00:17:36.240 Some of you are in that group, so go first.

00:17:39.420 Others need to...

00:17:40.500 You need other people to go first.

00:17:43.080 All right?

00:17:43.500 So if you get some momentum going,

00:17:45.620 get some exposure with the hashtag,

00:17:48.340 if you can get any major publication to pick it up,

00:17:52.340 some of you have connections to the press.

00:17:55.520 You know you do, right?

00:17:56.800 You got a friend, cousin, brother.

00:17:59.180 You know somebody in the press.

00:18:01.120 You probably all do.

00:18:01.940 Tell them that an interesting story

00:18:04.560 is that the public has decided to revolt

00:18:08.060 on hashtag February 1,

00:18:10.900 and somebody should cover it.

00:18:12.780 Now, there won't be anything to cover

00:18:14.240 unless you tweet about it.

00:18:16.320 So if you could get a picture, even better.

00:18:19.440 Now, a lazy journalist is going to love a story

00:18:22.240 that they can get by looking at tweets.

00:18:25.600 Trust me on this.

00:18:27.640 Somebody who has dealt with the media for a long time,

00:18:30.580 the two things that all journalists want

00:18:33.420 is a packaged idea.

00:18:35.840 Here's my idea.

00:18:36.960 Because they're thinking of ideas all day long.

00:18:39.140 The hardest part of being a journalist

00:18:40.600 is thinking up a new idea.

00:18:42.400 It's not even the writing.

00:18:44.260 The writing is easier than coming up with a new idea.

00:18:47.160 So the way that people manipulate the media...

00:18:50.740 I don't know if you knew this.

00:18:52.940 Tell me if this is the first time you've heard this.

00:18:54.860 But the way people like me manipulate the media,

00:19:01.220 and I mean literally me,

00:19:03.040 is you come up with a creative story idea,

00:19:06.320 and then you present it to somebody

00:19:07.780 who is always hungry for creative story ideas.

00:19:11.840 They will gobble it up like they haven't eaten in a week.

00:19:16.300 Because there's no limit

00:19:18.640 to how much a journalist wants a new idea.

00:19:21.560 They really, really want a new idea.

00:19:24.700 Because they're all fishing in the same little pond, right?

00:19:28.440 If you're the only one who says,

00:19:30.480 you know, you all caught a trout today.

00:19:33.780 Everybody's reading about trout.

00:19:35.380 Trout, trout, trout, trout, trout, trout, trout.

00:19:37.260 Your writing doesn't stand out at all.

00:19:39.980 But I've got to tell you, there's a swordfish in there,

00:19:42.660 and I'm the only one who can see it.

00:19:44.780 If you take the swordfish story,

00:19:46.600 you're going to be the star.

00:19:48.860 Every journalist wants that deal, all right?

00:19:51.920 So if you can package up the idea,

00:19:54.060 hey, February 1st,

00:19:55.480 you can make it easy to research,

00:19:57.420 hey, just look at Twitter.

00:19:59.420 Find some of those stories.

00:20:01.120 Maybe tweet at one of the people,

00:20:02.460 get a little extra background.

00:20:04.520 That's how you manipulate the media.

00:20:07.100 Laziness. 0.92

00:20:08.420 If you appeal to their laziness and ego,

00:20:13.220 that's what publicists do, by the way.

00:20:15.840 The entire job of a publicist is to appeal to the laziness of journalists.

00:20:24.800 Ask a publicist.

00:20:26.740 Ask a publicist.

00:20:27.940 That's the whole job.

00:20:28.900 is taking advantage of the laziness of people in the media.

00:20:35.960 You just do their job for them, and they love it.

00:20:39.820 Why wouldn't they?

00:20:40.560 Here's a funny little thing that happened in my life

00:20:44.800 that might be useful for you.

00:20:47.880 Recently, someone asked me

00:20:50.040 how I handle all the drama lately,

00:20:54.360 the drama in my life.

00:20:56.420 How do you handle all the drama?

00:20:57.600 And I said,

00:21:00.060 what drama?

00:21:03.020 Drama?

00:21:04.160 Is there some drama I don't know about?

00:21:07.260 And I had to, like, dig down a little bit

00:21:09.360 to find out what the hell the drama was.

00:21:11.360 And apparently, it goes something like this.

00:21:14.340 That if you were to have a conversation about me,

00:21:17.540 like with your friends,

00:21:19.120 you'd find at least one of your friends is really mad at me.

00:21:22.980 And maybe mad at you for even listening to me.

00:21:25.120 And that there's some kind of, I don't know,

00:21:29.200 because I insulted somebody on a live stream once

00:21:33.840 or something, something about vaccinations

00:21:37.220 that they probably got wrong.

00:21:40.360 So, yeah, I'm looking at the comments.

00:21:43.240 Now, of course, this is not a universal experience.

00:21:47.880 But apparently, there's all this, you know, drama about me.

00:21:52.860 I literally was unaware.

00:21:55.120 So, what happened when I found out there's all this drama?

00:21:59.720 How did I feel about it?

00:22:02.180 Well, I said to myself,

00:22:04.260 there's none of it in my room.

00:22:08.340 Like,

00:22:09.180 it doesn't even touch me.

00:22:14.560 There's no,

00:22:16.160 I mean, I could deal with people I know,

00:22:19.720 new people.

00:22:20.300 I can deal with strangers.

00:22:23.020 I run into people all the time who watch my live stream.

00:22:27.920 You know, locally now,

00:22:29.040 I pretty much every time I leave the house,

00:22:31.360 somebody says something about coffee with Scott Adams.

00:22:34.740 And I don't encounter any drama.

00:22:37.680 So, you might be surprised that as provocative or hated as I am

00:22:44.560 in some, like, social media sense,

00:22:46.900 that absolutely none of it, none of it,

00:22:50.180 not even the smallest trace of it,

00:22:52.280 has ever once permeated my actual life.

00:22:55.880 So much so that when somebody was concerned about all the drama I'm handling,

00:23:01.600 I didn't even know what was happening.

00:23:03.740 And I'm, you know,

00:23:04.380 pretty plugged into feedback,

00:23:06.720 and even I didn't know what was happening.

00:23:08.820 So,

00:23:09.660 here's the way I think of it.

00:23:11.200 I think of all this drama as chemical reactions

00:23:14.160 happening in these skulls of strangers

00:23:17.200 who are not in the room with me.

00:23:20.240 That's it.

00:23:22.100 But,

00:23:22.820 the other reframe

00:23:24.900 is that it brings energy to what I do.

00:23:30.240 And if people hate me more,

00:23:32.740 it's probably because I'm hitting on something important,

00:23:37.940 either good or bad.

00:23:39.540 And generally speaking,

00:23:40.700 you can use energy to your advantage if you know how.

00:23:43.560 And I'm kind of an energy monster,

00:23:45.600 as I like to say.

00:23:46.480 So energy is generally a positive thing.

00:23:49.360 So when I heard that there was drama,

00:23:51.340 I said to myself,

00:23:53.460 oh, that's good.

00:23:54.620 I wonder how I can use that.

00:23:59.300 Here's everything that's wrong with modern families.

00:24:04.180 I'm going to be looking for an amen.

00:24:07.640 I'm going to say something so true

00:24:10.460 that you're going to feel God.

00:24:14.200 And you're going to say,

00:24:15.560 amen, brother.

00:24:17.140 Or something like that.

00:24:21.140 It seems to me that in the old days,

00:24:23.200 the family unit spent more time together,

00:24:26.380 wouldn't you say?

00:24:27.740 Especially if they had to work on the farm,

00:24:30.140 or they couldn't watch TV, etc.

00:24:33.540 So I think we went from a time,

00:24:35.180 even when I grew up,

00:24:36.540 it was, you know,

00:24:37.940 dinner time was,

00:24:39.240 all of us had to be there at 5 p.m.,

00:24:41.820 no exceptions.

00:24:44.240 And wouldn't you say

00:24:47.140 that there are two things

00:24:49.280 that have happened recently

00:24:50.160 that make a big difference?

00:24:51.300 Number one,

00:24:52.600 the electronics and the phones.

00:24:54.580 And how often does your kid ignore you

00:24:58.360 by having earbuds or headphones on?

00:25:01.140 All right.

00:25:02.620 So you know now that the percentage of time

00:25:04.800 that you have any interaction with a kid

00:25:06.620 over, I don't know,

00:25:07.560 age of 12

00:25:08.360 is decreasing.

00:25:13.320 Now,

00:25:14.280 they also have,

00:25:15.520 it's a bigger deal,

00:25:17.400 I think,

00:25:17.860 today to go play with their friends,

00:25:20.300 hang out with their friends.

00:25:22.260 And so they're either gone,

00:25:25.040 they're behind their bedroom door,

00:25:27.680 they're asleep,

00:25:29.960 they're at school,

00:25:32.080 or they have their headphones on.

00:25:35.680 Now,

00:25:36.780 here's the thing that's going to,

00:25:37.960 well,

00:25:38.300 I haven't even gotten to the A-man, 0.98

00:25:40.540 haven't even gotten to it.

00:25:42.580 So with that model,

00:25:44.100 which unfortunately

00:25:44.940 pretty much all parents allow,

00:25:47.360 now I know some of you are saying,

00:25:48.700 I don't allow my kid

00:25:49.700 to have the headphones on,

00:25:50.900 and blah, blah, blah.

00:25:51.640 So I know some of you,

00:25:53.020 maybe you're,

00:25:53.920 you know,

00:25:54.220 going ballistic on it,

00:25:55.820 and maybe even making some difference.

00:25:57.600 But for most people,

00:25:59.960 the percentage of time

00:26:01.700 that you spend

00:26:02.460 actually interacting

00:26:03.920 in any meaningful way

00:26:05.140 with a child

00:26:06.260 over the age of, say, 12,

00:26:08.400 is shrinking and shrinking and shrinking

00:26:10.020 for a variety of different reasons,

00:26:12.380 until

00:26:12.860 maybe it's five minutes a day.

00:26:16.660 I don't think that's unusual.

00:26:19.460 I'll bet there's a ton of people

00:26:20.880 parents

00:26:21.740 who have

00:26:22.860 five minutes or less

00:26:24.900 actual time

00:26:26.360 with a kid

00:26:26.880 in the day

00:26:27.400 over the age of 12.

00:26:29.360 Right?

00:26:30.480 Now,

00:26:31.840 even if you're driving them places,

00:26:33.740 which you spend

00:26:34.400 a lot of time doing,

00:26:37.120 you know,

00:26:37.380 they have their headphones on,

00:26:38.560 or they're doing something else,

00:26:39.620 or you're paying attention

00:26:40.480 to something else.

00:26:41.500 So here's the problem.

00:26:43.560 During the course of a day,

00:26:44.820 do you not build up

00:26:45.940 a number of things

00:26:46.820 which you must say

00:26:47.580 to a child

00:26:48.120 to correct them,

00:26:49.640 to tell them

00:26:50.480 to do something differently?

00:26:52.340 Am I right?

00:26:54.100 And those things

00:26:55.560 that they're doing wrong

00:26:56.440 are usually dangerous,

00:26:57.980 or very unproductive,

00:26:59.920 or they're a big problem,

00:27:00.980 or there's something

00:27:02.420 you want to stop

00:27:03.080 before it becomes

00:27:03.700 a big problem.

00:27:05.260 So,

00:27:06.220 oh, 1.00

00:27:06.620 fuck you. 1.00

00:27:08.680 Get out of here. 1.00

00:27:11.560 So,

00:27:12.360 now you've got

00:27:13.120 your interaction

00:27:13.900 with your kid

00:27:14.400 down to five minutes,

00:27:15.560 and the only thing

00:27:16.640 that you have time

00:27:17.360 to talk about 1.00

00:27:18.060 is what they fucked up. 0.99

00:27:20.300 Am I right? 0.99

00:27:20.800 I got five minutes

00:27:23.040 with you, kid.

00:27:24.120 I know I'm not even

00:27:24.980 going to see you.

00:27:25.700 It's going to be hard

00:27:26.140 to see you the rest of the day.

00:27:27.580 So,

00:27:27.900 in this five minutes,

00:27:28.840 the only thing

00:27:29.580 I'm going to talk about

00:27:30.480 is the thing 1.00

00:27:31.360 you fucked up. 1.00

00:27:33.800 And does a kid 1.00

00:27:34.660 ever fuck up? 0.87

00:27:35.480 Yeah, 0.98

00:27:35.700 they're kids.

00:27:36.640 They do stuff wrong

00:27:37.920 like continually

00:27:38.840 because they're kids.

00:27:41.140 Right?

00:27:41.480 Part of the process.

00:27:43.100 So,

00:27:43.480 what happens

00:27:44.060 when every time

00:27:44.980 you see your kid,

00:27:46.100 all they get

00:27:46.800 is a negative feedback?

00:27:49.260 That's all they get.

00:27:50.840 Weeks and weeks

00:27:51.600 and weeks,

00:27:52.120 every time you see them,

00:27:53.120 you have to tell them

00:27:54.160 the thing that they need

00:27:55.560 to stop doing

00:27:56.300 because it's top priority.

00:27:59.020 But then all your time

00:28:00.080 is gone

00:28:00.480 and there's no positive anything.

00:28:05.040 I believe

00:28:06.000 parents are teaching kids

00:28:07.800 to hate them.

00:28:11.320 So,

00:28:12.780 no matter how small

00:28:15.020 a reward is

00:28:16.540 or a penalty,

00:28:17.700 if you continually

00:28:18.780 reinforce it,

00:28:20.680 if you're always penalized

00:28:22.260 for a contact,

00:28:23.140 you will avoid

00:28:24.540 that contact

00:28:25.120 and you'll be trained

00:28:27.320 to hate it.

00:28:30.300 Let me give you

00:28:31.100 an example.

00:28:32.300 Who do I love

00:28:33.060 more than my dog?

00:28:34.680 I mean,

00:28:35.260 I love my dog.

00:28:37.220 Right?

00:28:38.020 It's probably true 0.93

00:28:38.960 of everybody.

00:28:39.460 Everybody loves their dog.

00:28:41.880 Okay,

00:28:42.440 wife.

00:28:43.260 But,

00:28:43.680 but everybody

00:28:45.240 loves their dog.

00:28:46.040 Right?

00:28:47.360 I've known my dog

00:28:48.300 much longer

00:28:48.820 than I've known

00:28:49.660 most people.

00:28:50.320 but

00:28:52.120 because I have

00:28:53.480 a busy schedule,

00:28:55.000 the main interaction

00:28:56.820 I have with my dog

00:28:57.900 on some days

00:28:58.800 is her getting in my way 1.00

00:29:00.620 to like beg

00:29:02.580 to go out

00:29:03.120 or beg for food.

00:29:04.640 Now,

00:29:04.920 she gets plenty of food 0.51

00:29:05.780 and she gets to go out

00:29:07.160 and I'm not the only one

00:29:07.880 who takes her out.

00:29:08.900 But,

00:29:09.880 there are sometimes

00:29:10.820 a week in a row

00:29:11.860 when the only interaction

00:29:13.300 I have with my dog

00:29:14.340 is her making me

00:29:16.140 anxious

00:29:16.660 because she's unhappy.

00:29:18.080 And so,

00:29:20.080 she's trained me

00:29:20.760 over time

00:29:21.160 to hate her.

00:29:22.880 Now,

00:29:23.200 let me be careful.

00:29:24.660 I love her.

00:29:25.920 That's not going to change.

00:29:27.540 But,

00:29:27.900 I hate seeing her.

00:29:30.240 She actually trained me.

00:29:31.720 The dog trained me

00:29:32.740 to hate

00:29:33.280 seeing the sign of her.

00:29:34.760 I walk around the corner

00:29:36.000 and I'm going to get,

00:29:37.800 let's say,

00:29:38.340 a beverage

00:29:38.820 because I'm thirsty.

00:29:40.000 And the dog

00:29:40.620 literally blocks me

00:29:41.900 all nervous

00:29:43.740 because she thinks

00:29:45.020 I'm going to walk

00:29:45.600 out the door

00:29:46.040 without her.

00:29:46.560 and now I have,

00:29:48.640 now because I'm

00:29:49.520 connected to my dog,

00:29:51.560 I get this, 1.00

00:29:52.560 oh shit, 0.99

00:29:53.560 I'm making my dog 1.00

00:29:54.520 unhappy

00:29:55.020 which makes me unhappy.

00:29:57.780 So,

00:29:58.420 I have continual

00:29:59.440 interaction with my dog

00:30:00.680 that makes me hate her.

00:30:02.380 But,

00:30:02.800 I love her.

00:30:03.920 Don't get me wrong,

00:30:04.680 I love her.

00:30:05.480 But,

00:30:05.860 she's trained me

00:30:06.460 to hate her.

00:30:07.340 Every interaction.

00:30:08.680 Now,

00:30:08.940 think about it

00:30:09.600 in your own life.

00:30:11.660 This is one of those

00:30:12.400 things you probably

00:30:12.920 never think about.

00:30:14.680 But,

00:30:15.120 are you giving

00:30:16.240 somebody a penalty

00:30:17.260 or a treat

00:30:18.400 in each interaction?

00:30:20.640 If you're giving

00:30:21.460 them a treat,

00:30:22.660 you're training

00:30:23.240 them to like you.

00:30:24.500 If you're giving

00:30:25.240 them a penalty,

00:30:26.080 no matter how tiny,

00:30:27.740 no matter how small,

00:30:29.340 you're training

00:30:30.040 them to hate you.

00:30:32.600 Just be aware

00:30:33.420 of it.

00:30:34.340 Just know that

00:30:35.100 you're accidentally

00:30:35.940 training the people

00:30:36.900 in your life

00:30:37.440 and they're training

00:30:38.040 you accidentally

00:30:38.740 and you need

00:30:41.800 to get out

00:30:42.240 of that cycle

00:30:42.840 unless you want

00:30:43.820 to be there

00:30:44.160 for some reason.

00:30:45.800 All right.

00:30:46.860 How many of you

00:30:47.800 dislike George Soros?

00:30:49.780 George Soros?

00:30:50.740 Anybody?

00:30:51.640 Anybody dislike him?

00:30:53.440 For funding

00:30:54.320 organizations

00:30:55.240 which fund

00:30:56.000 things that you

00:30:56.680 don't like,

00:30:57.340 usually.

00:30:58.580 However,

00:30:59.340 just to make

00:30:59.980 things interesting,

00:31:01.760 Soros is very 0.99

00:31:02.760 anti-China's

00:31:04.260 leadership

00:31:04.740 at the moment.

00:31:06.220 I just did a video

00:31:07.100 in which he's

00:31:07.680 accusing China's 0.97

00:31:09.280 Xi

00:31:09.780 as being

00:31:11.120 the greatest

00:31:11.800 threat

00:31:12.280 to the open

00:31:12.940 society

00:31:13.460 and he thinks

00:31:15.240 that they're

00:31:15.660 going to have

00:31:16.380 an economic

00:31:17.260 debacle

00:31:18.160 largely because

00:31:20.380 of the real

00:31:20.700 estate market

00:31:21.280 collapsing

00:31:21.880 and that

00:31:23.940 Omicron variant

00:31:25.280 might be his

00:31:25.920 undoing,

00:31:26.780 President Xi's,

00:31:27.920 during his

00:31:28.480 prestige

00:31:29.540 Olympics.

00:31:31.480 Now,

00:31:32.080 when Soros

00:31:33.920 starts going

00:31:34.840 hard at

00:31:35.340 something,

00:31:37.200 apparently he's

00:31:39.120 effective.

00:31:39.520 I mean,

00:31:40.280 that's why

00:31:40.660 so many

00:31:41.060 people

00:31:41.360 dislike him

00:31:42.160 in the

00:31:42.380 United States

00:31:42.980 because they

00:31:43.880 think he's

00:31:44.400 too effective

00:31:45.040 and you don't

00:31:45.900 like the

00:31:46.240 things he's

00:31:46.640 doing.

00:31:47.540 But when he's

00:31:48.180 going after

00:31:48.820 China,

00:31:51.380 China's 0.76

00:31:51.940 leadership,

00:31:52.500 not the

00:31:52.740 country,

00:31:53.880 I don't

00:31:55.840 hate him

00:31:56.240 as much.

00:31:57.820 I didn't

00:31:58.440 know what to

00:31:58.800 think of him,

00:31:59.320 honestly.

00:32:00.820 I'm a little

00:32:01.460 bit confused

00:32:02.180 about the whole

00:32:02.720 Soros thing, 0.94

00:32:03.600 so I guess

00:32:04.520 that's my

00:32:04.980 opinion of him,

00:32:05.680 is that I

00:32:07.300 like you,

00:32:08.120 I don't like

00:32:08.620 some of the

00:32:09.160 things that

00:32:09.620 he's funding,

00:32:11.380 but I don't

00:32:12.440 know exactly

00:32:13.040 what's going

00:32:13.520 on with him.

00:32:14.060 It's a little

00:32:14.380 bit confusing

00:32:15.000 to me.

00:32:16.000 Because I

00:32:16.560 don't get

00:32:18.100 from him

00:32:18.740 bad intentions.

00:32:21.880 Like,

00:32:22.340 I'm not getting

00:32:22.780 that vibe.

00:32:23.360 I know some

00:32:23.820 of you are,

00:32:24.300 and I worry

00:32:25.320 about that.

00:32:26.660 I worry that

00:32:27.600 you have that

00:32:28.140 feeling.

00:32:29.200 But everything

00:32:30.260 he says and

00:32:31.020 where his money

00:32:31.660 is going doesn't

00:32:33.140 look like a guy

00:32:33.880 with bad

00:32:34.400 intentions.

00:32:34.880 It does

00:32:35.820 look like

00:32:36.420 some of

00:32:36.840 that money

00:32:37.160 went to

00:32:37.620 places that

00:32:38.500 didn't make

00:32:39.400 things better.

00:32:40.720 The, you

00:32:41.580 know, the

00:32:41.820 prosecutors, for

00:32:42.620 example, is the

00:32:43.220 obvious example.

00:32:44.980 But I don't

00:32:45.420 know, the

00:32:46.060 whole Soros

00:32:46.560 thing is

00:32:46.860 confusing.

00:32:48.180 And, because

00:32:49.560 it doesn't

00:32:49.880 make any sense

00:32:50.520 that he'd be

00:32:50.920 doing it to

00:32:51.360 make money,

00:32:52.000 because he's

00:32:52.340 already given

00:32:52.820 away most of

00:32:53.500 his fortune.

00:32:54.840 A person who's

00:32:55.500 giving away,

00:32:56.240 and already has,

00:32:57.800 most of his

00:32:58.720 billions, the

00:32:59.460 majority of it

00:33:00.100 is already given

00:33:00.660 away.

00:33:01.560 The majority 0.87

00:33:02.060 of it.

00:33:03.100 Whatever he's

00:33:03.760 doing, he's

00:33:04.180 not in it for

00:33:04.680 the money.

00:33:06.140 You don't

00:33:06.520 give away

00:33:06.960 three quarters

00:33:07.560 of your, it's

00:33:09.380 not for the

00:33:10.300 power.

00:33:11.180 He's almost

00:33:11.920 dead.

00:33:13.340 He's like 90

00:33:14.120 whatever.

00:33:15.000 The last thing

00:33:15.760 he cares about

00:33:16.380 is acquiring

00:33:16.900 power.

00:33:17.540 I guarantee

00:33:17.980 it.

00:33:19.140 He would have

00:33:19.600 no interest

00:33:20.160 in that.

00:33:21.760 So, I

00:33:22.340 don't know.

00:33:22.640 I don't know

00:33:22.900 what he, he's

00:33:24.440 an enigma.

00:33:25.520 But as long

00:33:26.060 as he hates 0.70

00:33:26.620 China's 0.76

00:33:27.960 leadership, I

00:33:30.040 think that's a

00:33:30.600 good sign.

00:33:30.940 Now, an

00:33:32.820 interesting thing

00:33:33.480 happened in

00:33:34.000 Virginia recently.

00:33:35.760 The new

00:33:36.480 governor there,

00:33:37.440 the

00:33:37.540 youngkin, he's

00:33:39.140 meeting fire

00:33:41.100 with fire, and

00:33:42.280 he's established a

00:33:43.260 CRT tip line.

00:33:44.900 So if anybody

00:33:45.860 sees critical race

00:33:46.940 theory being

00:33:48.140 taught in the

00:33:48.800 Virginia school,

00:33:49.640 they can call it

00:33:50.140 the tip line.

00:33:52.900 Now, what's

00:33:53.240 funny about it is

00:33:54.660 that this is

00:33:55.220 clearly just a,

00:33:56.320 I don't know,

00:33:57.880 it's like a

00:33:58.280 popular response

00:33:59.480 to the fact that

00:34:01.160 there are other

00:34:01.700 tip lines for,

00:34:03.280 you know, that

00:34:03.620 go the other

00:34:04.360 way.

00:34:05.340 And so I think

00:34:06.140 the fact that

00:34:06.640 there's a tip

00:34:07.060 line is a

00:34:07.600 little bit of

00:34:08.100 a, you know,

00:34:08.760 a poke in the

00:34:09.380 eye to the

00:34:10.240 other team.

00:34:11.280 But it's also

00:34:12.020 kind of funny.

00:34:13.260 Now, I saw

00:34:13.780 Geraldo having a

00:34:15.480 strong opinion

00:34:16.060 about this,

00:34:17.300 basically anti-tip

00:34:18.800 line.

00:34:20.020 You know, that

00:34:20.500 the whole tip

00:34:21.460 line idea is

00:34:22.440 just too

00:34:23.640 creepy.

00:34:24.060 And I have

00:34:26.060 some empathy

00:34:26.620 for that opinion.

00:34:27.980 By the way, I

00:34:28.780 love Geraldo.

00:34:30.200 I'm probably the

00:34:30.920 biggest Geraldo

00:34:31.700 fan.

00:34:32.340 Let me take a

00:34:33.480 minute to say

00:34:33.900 something positive

00:34:34.580 about Geraldo.

00:34:36.400 You might notice

00:34:37.320 that I like to

00:34:37.920 call out people

00:34:38.640 who have talent

00:34:39.520 stacks.

00:34:40.780 You know, they've

00:34:41.380 assembled different

00:34:42.420 talents that really

00:34:43.260 work well together.

00:34:44.900 Geraldo has one of

00:34:45.840 the best talent

00:34:46.600 stacks you'll

00:34:48.300 ever see.

00:34:50.720 You know, he's

00:34:51.280 an attorney, so

00:34:52.480 he's got the

00:34:52.860 legal stuff.

00:34:53.520 He's done a

00:34:54.460 talk show.

00:34:55.620 He's done war

00:34:56.580 correspondence.

00:34:58.000 You know, he

00:34:58.260 does no political

00:34:59.140 commentary.

00:35:01.920 You know, he's

00:35:03.120 posed without his

00:35:05.340 shirt at the age

00:35:06.180 of 70, whatever,

00:35:07.420 and showed that

00:35:09.000 he's very fit.

00:35:09.800 So he obviously

00:35:10.380 knows fitness.

00:35:11.900 Right?

00:35:12.060 So he knows

00:35:12.440 fitness.

00:35:13.420 There's a whole

00:35:13.820 bunch of stuff he

00:35:14.520 knows.

00:35:15.320 And he's

00:35:15.760 assembled it all.

00:35:17.480 And one of his

00:35:18.480 superpowers, the

00:35:19.540 one I like the

00:35:20.160 most, is his

00:35:21.840 inability to be

00:35:23.960 embarrassed.

00:35:25.680 Have you ever

00:35:26.040 noticed that?

00:35:27.600 Geraldo has a

00:35:29.240 Herculean ability

00:35:31.560 to not be

00:35:32.360 embarrassed.

00:35:34.160 And the best

00:35:35.220 example, yeah, was

00:35:36.020 Al Capone's vault.

00:35:37.680 I love

00:35:38.920 Geraldo because there

00:35:40.480 was nothing in that 0.95

00:35:41.300 freaking vault. 0.94

00:35:42.720 I love that.

00:35:44.400 Like, I thought it

00:35:45.560 was a good idea to

00:35:46.600 make a whole thing

00:35:47.420 about what's in the

00:35:48.160 vault.

00:35:48.360 And then when it

00:35:49.460 turned out to be

00:35:50.100 basically nothing,

00:35:52.020 you know, it was

00:35:52.320 this big embarrassing

00:35:53.120 thing and everybody

00:35:53.940 would make fun of

00:35:54.800 Geraldo forever for

00:35:55.800 the vault.

00:35:56.700 But I'm pretty sure

00:35:57.740 he just laughed

00:35:58.380 about it.

00:35:59.880 Like, whenever I see

00:36:00.660 him reacting to

00:36:01.580 anything, he just

00:36:02.760 seems to think it's

00:36:03.620 funny.

00:36:04.340 Then likewise, when

00:36:05.260 he posed within his

00:36:06.200 shirt, you know, in

00:36:07.800 his 70s, people

00:36:09.900 mocked him mercilessly.

00:36:11.700 In fact, on

00:36:12.480 Locals, that shirtless 0.56

00:36:14.500 selfie just went

00:36:15.760 by because, you

00:36:16.760 know, whenever he

00:36:17.400 comes up, and I

00:36:18.540 don't think he's

00:36:19.020 embarrassed about

00:36:19.580 that at all, nor

00:36:20.340 should he be,

00:36:21.040 because he actually

00:36:24.680 is in great shape

00:36:25.740 for his age, which

00:36:26.720 was the point.

00:36:28.280 So, if you could

00:36:29.420 assemble the talent

00:36:30.300 that he has, and

00:36:32.240 then you could also

00:36:33.120 add to it the

00:36:34.920 complete freedom

00:36:36.580 from other people

00:36:38.000 shaming him into

00:36:39.180 acting a certain

00:36:39.880 way.

00:36:40.680 I mean, even in

00:36:41.320 politics, he's not

00:36:42.980 cleanly a Democrat

00:36:44.060 or a Republican,

00:36:45.400 right?

00:36:46.360 And that takes a 0.98

00:36:46.920 lot of balls for 0.96

00:36:47.620 what he's doing. 0.99

00:36:48.680 I just, Harald is

00:36:50.020 probably the 0.92

00:36:50.480 ballsiest, the

00:36:53.200 ballsiest guy in

00:36:54.020 the business.

00:36:55.700 Yeah, that makes

00:36:56.340 him very likable.

00:36:57.480 So, there's

00:36:57.840 something very

00:36:58.340 honest about the

00:37:00.360 whole way he does

00:37:01.080 everything.

00:37:01.820 I mean, it's show

00:37:02.540 business, so, you

00:37:03.480 know, there's always

00:37:03.920 a veneer of show

00:37:05.180 business on it.

00:37:05.960 But somehow, it

00:37:06.620 just comes across as

00:37:07.580 super likable.

00:37:09.300 I think he's also a

00:37:10.380 real good fit on

00:37:13.380 the five.

00:37:14.620 He's a big

00:37:15.180 personality, and I

00:37:16.060 like him.

00:37:18.780 Joe Rogan and

00:37:19.780 Jordan Peterson are

00:37:20.880 in the news, because,

00:37:22.580 you know, most things

00:37:23.260 have to go through a

00:37:24.200 filter of what did

00:37:25.700 Joe Rogan say about

00:37:26.600 it.

00:37:27.660 But this is kind of

00:37:29.080 embarrassing, because

00:37:30.140 remember yesterday I was

00:37:31.000 telling you there was

00:37:31.620 this fake news by

00:37:33.400 Reuters that there was

00:37:34.680 an ivermectin phase

00:37:36.420 three trial that made

00:37:38.320 it look like ivermectin

00:37:39.380 was working in a phase

00:37:40.740 three clinical trial,

00:37:41.860 trial, but that

00:37:43.660 wasn't real.

00:37:45.700 The only thing they

00:37:46.640 know is it works in a

00:37:47.740 test tube against

00:37:49.500 Omicron.

00:37:52.560 And ivermectin also

00:37:54.040 worked in a test tube

00:37:55.200 against, I think,

00:37:56.700 Delta and Alpha.

00:37:58.180 So were you surprised

00:37:59.440 that it also worked in a

00:38:01.220 test tube for

00:38:03.900 Omicron?

00:38:05.200 Now, that part should be

00:38:06.820 not surprising to

00:38:08.440 anybody who has a

00:38:09.200 little bit of, you

00:38:10.200 know, knowledge about

00:38:11.360 the whole thing that's

00:38:12.100 going on with ivermectin.

00:38:13.460 Now, it turns out that

00:38:14.200 there are a whole bunch

00:38:14.820 of things that will be

00:38:16.960 antiviral in a test tube,

00:38:18.660 but they don't work at

00:38:19.900 all in people.

00:38:21.200 That's the most common

00:38:22.320 situation.

00:38:23.700 The most common

00:38:24.440 situation is it works in

00:38:25.600 a test tube, but it

00:38:26.340 doesn't work in people.

00:38:27.920 So the news was that it,

00:38:30.220 the most common news,

00:38:31.540 it worked in a test tube.

00:38:33.560 They might, they're

00:38:34.300 trying it in people, but

00:38:35.360 they don't know yet.

00:38:36.580 So there was no news at

00:38:37.740 all.

00:38:38.460 It was basically fake news.

00:38:40.200 Uh, unfortunately, Joe

00:38:43.020 Rogan retweeted it, uh,

00:38:45.840 uncritically.

00:38:47.260 Now, um, I would say

00:38:49.220 that's fair within his

00:38:50.780 brand, meaning that he's

00:38:52.560 now established himself

00:38:53.700 as, uh, I'm not the guy

00:38:55.640 that's going to tell you

00:38:56.480 what's true and what's

00:38:57.460 not.

00:38:58.160 I'm going to tell you

00:38:59.040 what's interesting and I'm

00:39:00.340 going to, you know, as

00:39:01.220 best I can show you both

00:39:02.360 sides.

00:39:03.660 So I think he has given

00:39:04.960 himself the freedom that

00:39:05.940 he can retweet that.

00:39:06.880 Uh, and then Jordan

00:39:08.540 Peterson retweeted the Joe

00:39:10.420 Rogan tweet, uh, with a

00:39:12.420 big, hmm, which

00:39:14.040 unfortunately made it look

00:39:15.460 like he was believing

00:39:16.360 that the fake news was

00:39:18.040 real.

00:39:19.100 And, uh, Jordan

00:39:21.240 Peterson has a little less

00:39:22.600 defense, right?

00:39:24.520 Because Peterson's, you

00:39:26.580 know, a scientist,

00:39:27.980 basically.

00:39:28.360 Uh, is that fair?

00:39:30.800 Uh, or, or would you say

00:39:32.280 an academic who has been

00:39:33.600 involved in science enough

00:39:34.980 that he, he knows, he

00:39:36.860 knows it, uh, forwards and

00:39:38.260 backwards?

00:39:39.740 So, uh, it, it's not, the

00:39:43.140 only thing I can say is I

00:39:45.480 wish they hadn't retweeted

00:39:47.140 it.

00:39:48.300 I just wish they had, because

00:39:50.580 I want them both to have the

00:39:51.900 highest possible credibility.

00:39:53.800 And I think this worked

00:39:55.060 against their credibility.

00:39:56.260 Uh, and also misled the

00:39:59.140 public because a lot of

00:40:00.780 people will see their

00:40:01.600 tweets and say, well, there

00:40:02.720 it is.

00:40:03.120 There's that proof I was

00:40:04.120 waiting for on ivermectin.

00:40:06.140 And remember the entire

00:40:07.320 claim against them, the

00:40:09.480 entire claim is that they're

00:40:11.700 spreading misinformation.

00:40:13.620 And then as soon as you had

00:40:15.560 this really the best, uh,

00:40:17.580 response I've seen to, uh,

00:40:19.760 a public, you know, outrage

00:40:21.440 was the, uh, Joe Rogan

00:40:23.180 video, which a lot of people

00:40:24.740 had good things to say.

00:40:26.240 About it, including me.

00:40:28.680 So they, they kind of had

00:40:29.960 this, you know, bad public

00:40:31.520 relations situation, Joe

00:40:33.140 Rogan mostly.

00:40:34.080 And then he does this

00:40:35.380 amazing escape, you know,

00:40:37.600 almost like an MMA fighter

00:40:39.240 with like a good move.

00:40:40.620 You know, it's like, oh, it

00:40:41.520 looks like they've got him

00:40:42.840 down for the count now and

00:40:44.240 Spotify is under pressure.

00:40:46.140 And then suddenly he does

00:40:46.880 this judo move and then

00:40:48.700 he's on top again.

00:40:49.920 Like, well, okay, that was

00:40:51.900 pretty, that was well done,

00:40:53.600 well executed.

00:40:54.320 The moment he's back on top, 0.78

00:40:56.680 he retweets this

00:40:57.600 ivermectin fake story.

00:41:01.120 Now, I'm not, just to be

00:41:02.420 clear, I'm not saying that

00:41:03.520 ivermectin works or doesn't.

00:41:05.100 That's not, has nothing to

00:41:06.180 do with the story.

00:41:07.100 I'm saying that the news that

00:41:08.580 he reported was definitely

00:41:09.940 fake news, which is

00:41:11.540 unrelated to whether ivermectin

00:41:13.040 works or not.

00:41:14.900 So, oh, this couldn't have

00:41:16.800 been worse timing.

00:41:17.520 I guess the only reason

00:41:19.700 I'm even talking about it

00:41:20.780 is because it personally

00:41:22.380 made me, I don't know, I

00:41:25.280 guess we all have some

00:41:26.340 investment in both of these

00:41:27.740 people.

00:41:29.560 I'll speak for myself, I

00:41:30.800 guess.

00:41:31.240 I guess I have some

00:41:32.300 investment in both Joe

00:41:34.500 Rogan and Jordan Peterson

00:41:36.620 because I like what they do

00:41:39.140 and I like to see more of it.

00:41:41.900 Anyway, that was suboptimal.

00:41:45.020 So, Larry Elder has a video

00:41:51.920 which I tweeted out today.

00:41:54.020 It took me a while to find

00:41:55.560 the time to look at it, but

00:41:56.720 the, it is really interesting

00:42:00.240 and it's about Black Lives

00:42:02.360 Matter and sort of an analysis

00:42:04.540 of whether they helped or

00:42:05.880 hurt.

00:42:06.820 I guess that would be one way

00:42:07.860 to say it.

00:42:08.940 And there was a white 0.65

00:42:10.620 researcher, I'm kind of

00:42:14.640 shortening the story to the

00:42:17.100 point of being inaccurate.

00:42:18.920 But a guy named Zach

00:42:20.240 Kriegman did a bunch of

00:42:22.160 research and wrote a paper

00:42:23.560 in which he was looking at

00:42:25.140 Black Lives Matter and

00:42:26.800 sort of what the outcome was,

00:42:28.840 positive or negative.

00:42:30.260 And his outcome was, and I'll

00:42:32.280 just give you some of the

00:42:33.000 highlights.

00:42:33.580 This is in the Larry Elder

00:42:35.300 video in which he talks about

00:42:37.780 the Zach Kriegman analysis.

00:42:40.020 And it's really interesting.

00:42:42.940 Whatever your opinions are on

00:42:44.640 Black Lives Matter, I think, I

00:42:46.580 think this would give you some

00:42:48.840 context that you would

00:42:50.240 appreciate.

00:42:51.280 Really interesting.

00:42:52.980 So I recommend it.

00:42:53.880 It's in my Twitter feed today.

00:42:56.480 And so here's some of the things

00:42:59.040 he says.

00:42:59.960 First of all, police are more 0.99

00:43:01.220 likely to shoot black people is 0.99

00:43:03.580 false. 0.99

00:43:04.300 The idea, the most basic idea of

00:43:06.700 Black Lives Matter, if you look at

00:43:08.580 the data, according to Zach

00:43:10.120 Kriegman, it's opposite, that the

00:43:13.740 police are more likely, more

00:43:15.060 likely to use deadly force 0.97

00:43:16.420 against white people, according 0.97

00:43:18.140 to the data.

00:43:19.500 Now, I just got done talking

00:43:21.820 about, you know, a study that 1.00

00:43:23.440 was bullshit. 0.98

00:43:24.620 I don't know what data we can 1.00

00:43:26.460 believe anymore.

00:43:27.660 So I'll just, I'll do a Joe

00:43:29.560 Rogan and say, take a look at

00:43:31.700 it.

00:43:31.980 I don't think that his data

00:43:33.200 disagrees with other people, as

00:43:34.880 far as I know.

00:43:35.820 But if you have other data that

00:43:37.000 says the opposite, send it to me.

00:43:38.580 All right.

00:43:42.200 So his analysis was that because

00:43:44.620 of the Ferguson effect, or the

00:43:46.680 George Floyd effect, if you

00:43:48.020 prefer, that the pressure on

00:43:50.720 police has caused them to sort of

00:43:52.460 back off their most effective

00:43:54.780 policing techniques.

00:43:56.540 And the result of it would be

00:43:58.240 thousands of extra deaths of 1.00

00:44:00.220 black, mostly men, but black 0.99

00:44:03.560 citizens. 0.77

00:44:04.800 Thousands.

00:44:05.160 So that the, the net effect of 0.99

00:44:09.520 Black Lives Matter is to kill 1.00

00:44:10.740 thousands of black people. 1.00

00:44:12.860 And he goes on to give some

00:44:14.700 context to this, that I guess even

00:44:18.820 the Black Lives Matter, there's

00:44:19.960 some website that, that claims

00:44:21.600 that black people are targeted for 0.98

00:44:23.440 demise by police. 0.99

00:44:25.580 Like literally the statement that

00:44:27.540 police are, are hunting or 0.98

00:44:29.140 targeting black citizens. 0.97

00:44:31.260 None of the data supports that. 0.91

00:44:35.300 So here's some numbers.

00:44:38.140 I think this was a recent year.

00:44:41.020 I forget which one, 2020 maybe.

00:44:43.380 There were the people who were

00:44:45.520 killed by police.

00:44:47.460 There were 457 white people killed

00:44:49.920 by police and 243 black people.

00:44:53.360 But you say to yourself, wait a

00:44:55.140 minute, wait a minute. 0.91

00:44:56.500 Black people are only like 13% of 0.94

00:44:58.420 the population. 0.89

00:44:59.660 Are you saying that 50% of the

00:45:02.240 people killed by police were 0.84

00:45:03.400 black? 0.92

00:45:04.500 Well, that sounds racist, doesn't 0.98

00:45:05.700 it?

00:45:07.700 That's way more than their

00:45:09.100 representation in the population.

00:45:11.680 Whereas, even though there are

00:45:15.480 twice as many white people, there are

00:45:17.980 what, four times or something, four,

00:45:19.700 four X times as many white people.

00:45:22.000 So that wouldn't make sense.

00:45:24.360 But here's how many were unarmed.

00:45:26.620 Right?

00:45:26.800 So you probably have to forget about

00:45:29.060 the ones who had a weapon because 0.74

00:45:30.760 the police have to shoot them.

00:45:32.040 Right?

00:45:32.920 But the ones who were unarmed, there

00:45:34.700 were 20, only 24 white people were

00:45:37.220 killed that year, were unarmed by

00:45:39.220 police and 18 black, which is pretty

00:45:42.720 close.

00:45:43.560 So there were roughly about this, you

00:45:45.480 know, a few more, but roughly the

00:45:47.660 same number of white and black people

00:45:49.100 were killed by police.

00:45:50.060 But of course, there are far fewer 0.92

00:45:53.160 black people in the country. 0.98

00:45:55.600 I'll get, bear with me. 0.99

00:45:59.020 I know you're trying to get ahead of

00:46:00.340 me, but just trust me, I'll get

00:46:01.920 there.

00:46:02.380 I'll get there.

00:46:05.780 But, as this paper by Zach

00:46:10.860 Kriegman points out, police have to

00:46:13.540 go where the crime is.

00:46:15.100 And the crime is overwhelmingly in 0.99

00:46:16.880 black neighborhoods, unfortunately. 0.99

00:46:18.120 And so, because there's more police 0.95

00:46:20.720 where the crime is, and there are more 0.98

00:46:22.080 black people where the police are, 0.97

00:46:23.660 where the crime is, of course, there's

00:46:25.700 more interactions, and that explains

00:46:27.920 basically the whole thing.

00:46:29.700 So, according to this Zach guy,

00:46:32.260 53% of homicide offenses are created by 0.99

00:46:37.360 black citizens. 0.98

00:46:38.940 So, over half of all homicide crimes are 0.99

00:46:44.440 by black citizens who represent only 13% 0.99

00:46:46.920 of the public. 0.99

00:46:47.920 And also, 60% of robberies are by black 0.98

00:46:51.960 citizens who represent 13% of the public. 0.98

00:46:54.540 So, you would expect that the police and the

00:46:56.680 black public would have lots more 0.96

00:46:58.020 interaction, which would create lots more 0.99

00:47:00.940 opportunities for people to be dead.

00:47:03.420 And, apparently, if you follow the data,

00:47:07.100 according to Zach, it shows a clear

00:47:09.760 anti-white bias.

00:47:11.380 Not a huge one, but a clear one.

00:47:13.860 The police are more likely to use deadly force

00:47:16.120 on white people, if you adjust for all

00:47:20.200 these differences.

00:47:22.520 But, more likely to use non-deadly force 0.98

00:47:25.020 against black citizens. 0.98

00:47:26.120 Do you know what explains that? 0.78

00:47:29.720 What would explain why there would be 0.90

00:47:32.540 more non-deadly force against black people, 0.98

00:47:34.900 but more deadly force against white people? 0.99

00:47:38.580 Even on a per capita level.

00:47:41.660 Now, his explanation is, and Larry Elder

00:47:43.720 was backing this up, that there's differences

00:47:46.380 in how people resist arrest.

00:47:49.340 And that it's very clearly culturally

00:47:52.680 slash racially correlated.

00:47:56.120 So, if people treat the police differently,

00:47:59.880 they're going to get different outcomes,

00:48:01.120 aren't they?

00:48:02.140 So, I've never seen anybody question that.

00:48:07.480 That different cultures slash races, 1.00

00:48:11.180 which are highly correlated,

00:48:13.020 that there's just a difference in how

00:48:14.580 they respond to police.

00:48:16.120 Now, do you think that in a high crime

00:48:18.440 neighborhood, that people respond to police

00:48:20.720 the same as in a low crime neighborhood?

00:48:23.100 Well, I doubt it, right?

00:48:24.560 Just the fact that you're in a high crime area,

00:48:28.100 probably, no matter who's there,

00:48:31.060 white or black, or anybody else,

00:48:33.900 if it's a high crime neighborhood,

00:48:35.480 you're probably going to get more

00:48:36.520 resisting arrest, right?

00:48:38.540 Who would disagree with that?

00:48:40.020 Nobody.

00:48:41.360 So, the fact that, unfortunately,

00:48:43.120 the high crime areas are black 1.00

00:48:44.540 would necessarily, logically,

00:48:47.360 mean that you're going to get more

00:48:48.560 arresting, more resisting arrest,

00:48:50.740 therefore, more violence.

00:48:54.120 But apparently, the fact that

00:48:55.300 there's less deadly violence

00:48:56.860 suggests that police are actually

00:48:58.960 trying to resist

00:48:59.880 using deadly force.

00:49:03.320 They're trying to get things under control

00:49:04.820 without deadly force.

00:49:05.880 There are apparently

00:49:10.860 8,000 roughly

00:49:12.420 black people murdered by 0.98

00:49:14.020 other black people in this country 1.00

00:49:15.720 every year.

00:49:17.000 8,000?

00:49:19.740 That is a huge number.

00:49:22.480 That is shocking.

00:49:23.880 And the fact that

00:49:24.620 that's not the headline?

00:49:26.980 Like, I mean,

00:49:28.260 the fact that we can't

00:49:29.860 even treat that like that

00:49:31.340 should be important.

00:49:32.100 This is the very opposite

00:49:35.100 of Black Lives Matter,

00:49:36.220 isn't it?

00:49:37.000 This is literally saying 0.98

00:49:38.060 black lives don't matter 1.00

00:49:39.180 because what really matters 1.00

00:49:40.680 is punishing those white people. 0.99

00:49:46.420 Black Lives Matter morphed 0.99

00:49:47.900 into punishing white people matters.

00:49:51.040 That's all it is. 1.00

00:49:52.020 Punishing white people matters. 0.99

00:49:54.880 But if you want to help black people, 0.98

00:49:56.600 you'd do something, 0.59

00:49:57.480 I mean, all of your attention

00:49:58.560 would be where the problem is. 0.56

00:50:00.520 8,000 black murders a year?

00:50:02.540 It's not the police. 0.52

00:50:04.520 Police are getting 24.

00:50:06.720 All right.

00:50:08.100 And of course,

00:50:08.980 you know that people on the left

00:50:10.480 are terribly uninformed.

00:50:13.340 So in a survey,

00:50:15.680 when liberals,

00:50:17.700 who are very liberal,

00:50:18.720 were asked

00:50:19.200 how many black people 0.97

00:50:20.860 are killed by police every year, 0.95

00:50:22.320 a lot of them believed

00:50:23.300 it's more than 1,000

00:50:24.340 at a time when it was 11.

00:50:28.280 And a minority of those people,

00:50:31.240 liberals believe that over

00:50:32.560 10,000 black people a year

00:50:34.280 are being slain by police. 0.91

00:50:36.960 10,000.

00:50:38.780 The real number was 11.

00:50:41.360 And the number of white people

00:50:42.820 was more than that.

00:50:43.800 So,

00:50:46.700 and then I think the,

00:50:49.980 it might have been

00:50:50.940 either Larry's opinion,

00:50:52.300 or I'm not sure

00:50:52.740 if it was Zach's opinion

00:50:53.720 or Larry's.

00:50:54.320 I took bad notes.

00:50:55.920 But part of the explanation

00:50:57.600 of why we're getting

00:50:58.680 such bad information

00:50:59.840 and why the media

00:51:01.600 is essentially

00:51:03.280 aiding and abetting

00:51:04.980 BLM's 1.00

00:51:05.860 completely backwards messaging

00:51:07.860 that's killing people,

00:51:09.140 is that the people

00:51:11.540 who report it

00:51:12.340 don't have to deal

00:51:13.120 with the consequences.

00:51:15.100 Now,

00:51:15.380 I don't know

00:51:15.740 if that's the whole story,

00:51:17.480 but you can reasonably say

00:51:19.200 that people

00:51:19.720 who don't have to deal

00:51:20.440 with consequences

00:51:21.220 are not concerned

00:51:22.340 with things.

00:51:24.020 That's fair to say.

00:51:25.840 So,

00:51:26.260 how many of these

00:51:27.000 elite reporters

00:51:28.080 and, you know,

00:51:28.820 CNN reporters

00:51:29.680 and everything else,

00:51:30.780 how many of them

00:51:31.380 go back to the inner city

00:51:32.560 dangerous place

00:51:33.520 and have to deal

00:51:34.160 with any of these problems?

00:51:35.560 None.

00:51:36.580 They go back

00:51:37.280 to their, you know,

00:51:38.400 nice penthouse

00:51:39.160 or whatever.

00:51:40.240 And they can make up

00:51:41.400 any story they want

00:51:42.320 as long as it

00:51:43.120 gets them clicks.

00:51:45.260 And so,

00:51:45.620 between Black Lives Matter 0.90

00:51:46.920 being,

00:51:47.680 as we've learned recently,

00:51:49.120 apparently a fraudulent

00:51:50.600 financial scam

00:51:52.680 to some extent,

00:51:54.080 and the fact that

00:51:55.140 it didn't accomplish

00:51:55.980 anything it was

00:51:56.840 supposed to do,

00:51:57.780 it accomplished

00:51:58.420 exactly the opposite, 0.96

00:52:00.280 made black people 0.97

00:52:01.200 less safe. 1.00

00:52:04.860 This is the biggest

00:52:05.880 failure of anything

00:52:07.060 I've ever seen,

00:52:07.920 probably.

00:52:09.620 All right.

00:52:13.560 That,

00:52:14.120 ladies and gentlemen,

00:52:15.500 was all I saw

00:52:17.300 in the news.

00:52:18.360 You know,

00:52:18.660 there's one thing

00:52:19.160 I realized,

00:52:20.340 I heard Mark Cuban

00:52:21.300 say this years ago,

00:52:22.400 and at the time

00:52:23.260 he said it,

00:52:23.740 I thought,

00:52:24.080 well,

00:52:24.340 that can't,

00:52:25.620 that can't be right.

00:52:27.300 And what he said

00:52:28.140 was that he uses

00:52:29.600 Twitter instead

00:52:30.900 of using,

00:52:31.920 going to the news sites.

00:52:33.860 That if you want

00:52:34.560 to know what

00:52:34.860 the news is,

00:52:36.040 it's just faster

00:52:36.760 to get it on Twitter

00:52:37.600 because Twitter

00:52:38.600 is,

00:52:38.880 you know,

00:52:39.240 immediate,

00:52:39.940 you might have

00:52:40.360 to wait for a news story.

00:52:42.180 Twitter has,

00:52:43.220 you know,

00:52:43.540 every side of the story,

00:52:45.360 the news might not.

00:52:48.900 And he said this years ago.

00:52:51.180 It was several years ago

00:52:52.080 he said it.

00:52:52.680 And I remember thinking

00:52:53.500 that and that.

00:52:54.760 And then today

00:52:55.440 I did an entire live stream

00:52:57.000 in which I talked

00:52:58.720 about the news

00:52:59.360 the entire time,

00:53:00.220 and I realized

00:53:01.400 just at the end

00:53:02.120 I didn't look

00:53:02.640 at any news sites.

00:53:04.540 Like literally

00:53:05.020 everything I looked at

00:53:05.940 was just on Twitter

00:53:06.720 and something

00:53:07.940 linked to Twitter.

00:53:11.120 Yeah,

00:53:11.500 all reporters

00:53:12.500 use Twitter

00:53:13.060 at this point

00:53:13.620 it seems like.

00:53:17.120 All right.

00:53:21.220 What is it

00:53:21.960 that I missed?

00:53:22.920 Did I miss

00:53:23.240 any big stories?

00:53:25.160 Can somebody tell me

00:53:25.980 are the Olympics

00:53:27.100 on right now?

00:53:30.920 All right.

00:53:32.160 I'm seeing some

00:53:33.240 the Olympics

00:53:34.820 start on this week.

00:53:37.500 Is anybody

00:53:38.220 going to watch it?

00:53:40.620 I only want

00:53:41.560 to see no's here.

00:53:42.760 I mean,

00:53:43.040 you're free people.

00:53:44.080 You can do

00:53:44.400 whatever you want,

00:53:45.020 of course.

00:53:46.020 But I would

00:53:47.080 hope that you're

00:53:48.240 not going to watch

00:53:48.880 the Omicron Olympics.

00:53:52.800 China's 0.76

00:53:53.240 great embarrassment.

00:53:55.560 Let's call it

00:53:56.320 the great

00:53:56.900 embarrassment.

00:53:58.960 The year of shame.

00:54:03.740 Yeah.

00:54:04.800 China's 0.76

00:54:05.320 year of shame.

00:54:07.180 Xi shame.

00:54:08.560 President Xi shame.

00:54:12.380 All right.

00:54:13.720 It's the year

00:54:14.160 of the tiger.

00:54:16.420 Okay.

00:54:17.980 Yes.

00:54:18.580 And why

00:54:19.340 do we have

00:54:19.740 Olympics?

00:54:21.060 You know,

00:54:21.440 Olympics are

00:54:22.060 sort of a

00:54:22.820 pre-internet

00:54:23.740 idea,

00:54:24.460 aren't they?

00:54:25.680 Don't you think?

00:54:26.900 It seems like

00:54:28.240 the whole point

00:54:28.880 of the Olympics

00:54:29.380 is to cross-pollinate

00:54:31.020 your publics

00:54:32.600 so that you

00:54:33.440 don't want to

00:54:33.860 go to war.

00:54:35.420 I mean,

00:54:35.780 that's sort of

00:54:36.380 like the whole

00:54:36.820 idea, right?

00:54:38.120 You know,

00:54:38.440 get enough

00:54:38.940 cross-pollinization

00:54:40.200 in a positive

00:54:40.960 way that you

00:54:42.580 don't feel as

00:54:43.140 much like the

00:54:43.980 other is an

00:54:44.620 outsider and you 1.00

00:54:45.440 have to kill 1.00

00:54:45.820 them. 1.00

00:54:46.000 But now we

00:54:47.640 have the

00:54:47.900 internet.

00:54:48.140 That's a

00:54:51.420 total pre-internet

00:54:52.900 idea is the

00:54:53.600 Olympics.

00:54:54.040 We just don't

00:54:54.460 need it anymore.

00:54:55.260 Let's just get

00:54:55.760 rid of it.

00:54:57.680 All right.

00:55:02.100 The NBC

00:55:02.960 CCP.

00:55:05.180 All right.

00:55:05.700 I got nothing

00:55:06.140 else.

00:55:06.720 I'm pretty sure

00:55:07.580 this is the most

00:55:08.320 exciting live stream

00:55:09.240 you'll ever see in

00:55:10.040 your life.

00:55:10.840 And I'll be back

00:55:12.020 tomorrow.

00:55:13.200 And today I would

00:55:14.540 like to see your

00:55:15.360 tweets on being

00:55:17.140 maskless.

00:55:18.120 Can you do that

00:55:18.700 for me?

00:55:20.500 Maskless tweets,

00:55:21.480 anybody?

00:55:24.540 And I'll try to

00:55:26.800 finish up the

00:55:27.340 anxiety Michael

00:55:28.220 lesson today.

00:55:29.260 And we'll talk

00:55:29.800 to you tomorrow.
