Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1642 Scott Adams： Our Data on Everything is Wrong But We Can Fix That By Lying. Welcome to 2022, Where Truth Died

00:00:00.100 I hope I didn't violate any copyrights with that perfect rendition of...

00:00:06.820 I think you all recognize it. Sing along!

00:00:10.280 Okay, I'll wait for the chorus. There we go.

00:00:13.960 Well, I think this is going to be the best thing you've ever seen in your life.

00:00:20.060 Lots of evidence for it. Lots of it.

00:00:23.040 And if you don't believe me yet, you'll believe me pretty soon.

00:00:26.540 Right after a little thing we call the Simultaneous Sip.

00:00:30.420 If you'd like to participate, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice of iron, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:37.760 Fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.

00:00:42.020 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:00:45.740 It's the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:50.200 It's called the Simultaneous Sip.

00:00:52.580 And you, my lucky, lucky listeners, you're here for it.

00:01:01.000 My goodness, what a good day this is. Go!

00:01:08.460 I feel my DNA being rewired, but in a constructive way.

00:01:13.420 Well, for those of you who are on YouTube, you may not be aware that I have a locals community on the locals site.

00:01:30.180 And people who pay a subscription get to see me make these micro lessons, I call them.

00:01:35.200 They're usually two to four minute videos that are designed to give you an actual useful life skill in a few minutes.

00:01:44.980 So there are over 200 of them now.

00:01:47.300 But the one I did yesterday, the locals people considered too valuable to be behind a subscription wall.

00:01:55.860 And I'm so glad they did, and by the way, thank you, because after I had created it, it was a micro lesson on reframing stress and anxiety.

00:02:08.420 So it would be a bunch of little simple mental tricks and techniques and systems that you could very easily incorporate to reduce your stress and anxiety.

00:02:19.100 And the people on locals thought it was, I'm going to over-interpret what they said, but thought it should be on YouTube because it would have a value outside the subscription base.

00:02:31.460 So, as a philanthropic, and I guess it would be, sort of weirdly, indirectly philanthropic, the people on locals who actually pay money for my content have decided that you should see it too.

00:02:45.560 So in this case, it's on YouTube. You can see the link to it in my Twitter today.

00:02:51.720 So if there's anybody in your life who could benefit by reducing their stress and anxiety, there would be a bunch of tips there that they can consume really easily.

00:03:01.920 And remember, the whole point of the short videos is to just get right to it and give you something useful.

00:03:10.300 Here's the most depressing thought of the day.

00:03:15.560 Will you tell me if I'm just an old man talking like an old man or if this is true?

00:03:22.720 And I know everybody my age is going to think it's true.

00:03:26.440 So this is the worst crowd I could ever ask this question for a sanity check.

00:03:30.980 All right, here's the sanity check, please.

00:03:34.260 What the hell is wrong with kids?

00:03:37.160 What the hell is wrong with them?

00:03:38.680 Can you imagine your generation, let's say you're my age-ish, can you imagine your generation not having a mask rebellion yet?

00:03:50.960 Seriously.

00:03:52.640 Do you think my generation would have put up with months and months of wearing masks in school?

00:03:58.580 I don't think so.

00:03:59.760 How long would it have taken us to simply all of us throw them away?

00:04:05.540 What would happen if the entire class threw their masks away at the same time?

00:04:10.860 What, they're going to close the school?

00:04:14.020 What the hell are they going to do?

00:04:16.460 What happens if all the school, if everybody says, all right, well, if you're going to put your mask away, then you have to do Zoom school?

00:04:22.800 What happens if everybody says, what, I'm not going to turn it on?

00:04:25.500 I'll just, I won't turn it on my computer.

00:04:29.880 I'm going to school, and I'm going without a mask.

00:04:34.020 I'm, am I crazy?

00:04:36.980 Am I crazy that my classmates in my school would have worked this out in two weeks?

00:04:46.260 I feel like I might be romanticizing, you know, my childhood a little bit.

00:04:51.240 So that's where you have to stop me.

00:04:52.860 But if I can be blunt, the fucking kids are a bunch of pussies.

00:05:00.800 You're telling me that there's a bunch of 14 to 17-year-old kids who can't get their shit together enough to tell their teachers to go fuck themselves and get rid of the masks and just throw them away?

00:05:13.580 Do you think their parents are going to put up the fight that will change their minds?

00:05:17.320 All they have to do is do it at the same time.

00:05:20.900 It's not rocket fucking science.

00:05:24.480 Just do it at the same time.

00:05:26.840 Nobody can get in trouble.

00:05:28.920 Nobody.

00:05:29.820 Zero risk.

00:05:31.560 Zero fucking risk.

00:05:33.540 If they just do it at the same time.

00:05:35.560 And they can't organize that?

00:05:37.380 Have you heard of social media?

00:05:38.700 There's this thing called Snapchat, TikTok.

00:05:42.700 I believe it's a way for young people to talk with each other.

00:05:46.700 And you can't work out a single day to throw your fucking masks away at the same time and just be done with it.

00:05:53.360 It's time, kids.

00:05:55.560 It's time.

00:05:57.160 Did you lose all of your fight?

00:05:58.920 I mean, seriously.

00:06:02.280 What is going on here?

00:06:06.220 And I'm not even saying, you know, what is good or bad or when it should have happened.

00:06:11.720 I'm just astonished that there's no fight left in kids.

00:06:18.020 What happened?

00:06:18.860 Is that the brainwashing or the change in diets or what?

00:06:24.280 I don't know.

00:06:25.000 So, here's some tragic news for a company called Spotify, who made a huge mistake of working with the most popular podcaster in the history of civilization.

00:06:42.620 And now they've lost, first they lost Neil Young.

00:06:47.240 If anybody is a certain age, you might have to Google him.

00:06:49.520 And Joni Mitchell, again, Google her.

00:06:52.160 And now Nils Lofgren, apparently.

00:06:55.000 But that's not the end of it.

00:06:58.800 Mary Trump, she's removing her podcast from Spotify.

00:07:03.640 Now, I know what you're thinking.

00:07:06.040 Mary Trump had a podcast?

00:07:08.580 But I don't know how Spotify is going to weather the storm.

00:07:14.500 You know, and I have to say that, unlike the children, they do have a little fight in them.

00:07:20.160 And Spotify seems to be, I think they're going to, I don't think they're going to cave.

00:07:27.600 I think they're actually going to take this pressure.

00:07:29.700 I don't know how you can take that hit, but I'm glad you are.

00:07:43.160 Weird news of the day, in a tweet by Bhatia Ungar Sargon, I saw, that, of all things, tell me if you saw this coming.

00:07:54.940 This is what I did not see coming.

00:07:56.660 Would not have guessed this.

00:07:57.740 That Tucker Carlson is pulling in more young Democrat viewers than CNN or MSNBC individually.

00:08:06.940 So here are the numbers.

00:08:08.780 According to this tweet, anyway.

00:08:10.600 Fox News got 42% of Democrats aged 25 to 54.

00:08:15.700 The ones you want, right?

00:08:17.320 That's exactly the age you want.

00:08:18.700 So in the age that mattered, most advertisers, you got 42% of Democrats.

00:08:26.020 CNN only got 33% of Democrats.

00:08:29.700 Now remember, Fox News also has, you know, huge numbers in general.

00:08:36.060 So they have, you know, more of every category.

00:08:38.560 But I didn't think they would have more Democrats.

00:08:41.600 How many of you knew that?

00:08:43.380 I mean, specifically for Tucker Carlson.

00:08:45.580 Let me be, yeah, Carl, well, Carlson was top among Democrats in the demo across all cable news.

00:08:57.980 Tucker Carlson is the top thing watched by Democrats.

00:09:06.480 What?

00:09:07.720 Am I reading this wrong?

00:09:09.420 Carlson was top among Democrats in the demographic across all cable news

00:09:13.820 and ranked third among Democrats in total viewership.

00:09:19.360 So I guess you throw in the old people and the younger people and it changes it.

00:09:24.100 Oh, wow.

00:09:26.040 So how do you explain that?

00:09:29.520 Somebody says hate watching.

00:09:30.980 I don't think it's hate watching.

00:09:32.820 You know what I think it is?

00:09:33.900 I think it is distrusting the government is just popular everywhere.

00:09:40.360 Don't you think?

00:09:44.520 I mean, if you had to say, what is Tucker Carlson's political view?

00:09:51.980 If you were on the left, you'd probably say he's a Republican.

00:09:55.700 If you're a Republican, you might say, I don't know.

00:09:59.480 I mean, he seems sometimes surprising.

00:10:03.100 But, you know, more on the conservative side, for sure.

00:10:05.740 Libertarian, I think.

00:10:06.740 A little closer to libertarian, right?

00:10:08.320 But if your message is the government is screwing you

00:10:12.260 and you can't trust anybody, there's an audience for that.

00:10:17.140 Apparently, there's a big audience for that.

00:10:19.900 But you also have to be...

00:10:22.300 I don't think you can ignore the fact, I've said this a million times,

00:10:25.840 Fox just has better production values.

00:10:29.620 It's just a better produced show.

00:10:31.780 And I would say that Tucker stands out among the crowd of people who do what he does.

00:10:39.900 I think at the moment, he does it better than anybody else.

00:10:43.660 Would you agree with that?

00:10:45.400 Let's say on cable news, just cable news alone.

00:10:48.920 I feel like even if you disagree with him, just the performance, the thinking, the provocation,

00:10:59.360 the, I don't know, just the talent that goes into it, the writing,

00:11:02.860 it feels like almost every part of it is just a little bit above who he's competing with.

00:11:12.960 So it doesn't surprise me that people were drawn to not only quality of the program,

00:11:18.120 in a technical sense, but also the message of not trusting the government.

00:11:23.180 So that's my view, right?

00:11:24.500 I thought, that's my best hypothesis for what's going on.

00:11:31.520 Payroll is down.

00:11:33.120 Surprisingly, we're expecting the number of people who are on a payroll to go up,

00:11:37.980 but it went down quite a bit.

00:11:40.280 And why is that?

00:11:42.340 Well, here's some speculation, with no numbers beyond it, just speculation.

00:11:47.380 So this is my own speculation, and Mark Schneider had an idea here I'm going to throw in.

00:11:52.080 Somebody on Twitter mentioned vaccine mandates.

00:11:57.060 Do you think the vaccine mandates would be a reason the payroll is down?

00:12:01.600 How about, as this is what Mark Schneider added,

00:12:04.760 how about the return to single-family incomes?

00:12:09.280 I was sort of expecting this.

00:12:12.380 I feel that a number of people said, you know,

00:12:16.280 maybe only one of us needs to go back to work.

00:12:18.520 But, you know, it's 2022, so, you know, whichever one, doesn't matter.

00:12:23.660 So I think it'll be more single-family, less traditional, you know,

00:12:28.300 the dad's working, mom at home, but probably still a lot of that, right?

00:12:32.200 Still a majority, probably.

00:12:34.020 So that's it.

00:12:41.040 But I'll bet it's also hard to hire.

00:12:44.060 So here's another old man yelling at the clouds thing.

00:12:47.340 And you really have to fact-check me on this stuff.

00:12:50.040 Because I'm somewhat hyper-aware that there's some point in my future

00:12:55.340 where I can only see things through an old man lens.

00:12:58.900 And I'm just going to lose the ability to see life in a normal way.

00:13:04.140 Because it feels like it happens to everybody.

00:13:06.260 So why would I be the exception?

00:13:09.000 But here's what I'm thinking.

00:13:11.020 I've never seen so many people in the young, working-age category

00:13:15.620 who are incapable of holding a job.

00:13:19.620 Is that new?

00:13:22.360 Do you see this just in your personal life?

00:13:25.440 Do you see the number of people who, for different reasons,

00:13:29.440 and anxiety is often one of them,

00:13:31.600 for whatever reason,

00:13:35.360 didn't get whatever that base capability is?

00:13:41.120 And I'm not sure that they're, you know, different genetically

00:13:44.400 than anybody ever was.

00:13:47.060 So I wonder if it's partly that the environment got more complicated

00:13:51.900 or are people different?

00:13:54.600 So here's the question.

00:13:56.600 Did the environment get too complicated?

00:14:00.620 And there's some people who just, you know,

00:14:02.820 they're not built for that level of, let's say, stimulation.

00:14:06.520 And they're just overstimulated.

00:14:08.320 And it's like paralyzing.

00:14:10.980 Or is there something in the water?

00:14:12.720 Is there something in the diet?

00:14:15.120 But if...

00:14:17.600 Is it just the schools are bad at teaching?

00:14:20.600 You know, I would say...

00:14:22.600 Somebody's saying the soy,

00:14:23.520 but it's not like it's only boys are being affected, right?

00:14:27.220 No competition, somebody says.

00:14:29.820 I don't know.

00:14:30.820 I don't really have a speculation,

00:14:34.160 and I'm also not sure it's true.

00:14:36.800 Oh, drugs.

00:14:38.240 Drugs, maybe.

00:14:40.200 Although I haven't seen drugs being directly implicated.

00:14:43.920 Although, yeah, I guess so.

00:14:46.320 Yeah, I guess it would be a combination of a whole bunch of stuff.

00:14:49.020 All right.

00:14:51.140 Here's some CNN fake news.

00:14:55.760 So they're reporting that the Tennessee school board

00:14:59.400 banned a comic about the Holocaust.

00:15:03.420 So rats are portrayed as people,

00:15:05.780 and it's sort of a Holocaust-y theme.

00:15:09.060 And so they banned these books in, I guess, the libraries,

00:15:13.740 in the school libraries,

00:15:15.000 because of the book's, quote,

00:15:16.780 Unnecessary Use of Profanity and Nudity

00:15:19.340 and its Depiction of Violence and Suicide.

00:15:23.620 And then the CNN commentary here, opinion is,

00:15:27.260 as though it would be possible to depict

00:15:29.140 one of the most violent events of the last century

00:15:33.100 without violence.

00:15:34.520 Now, what is wrong with banning a book

00:15:39.600 for having too much violence and sex in it

00:15:44.240 if it's a school?

00:15:46.700 Is that new?

00:15:48.440 Like, could you put, you know, copies of Penthouse?

00:15:53.780 Back when there were copies of Penthouse.

00:15:56.340 Could you just put porn in the school library?

00:16:00.120 I'm pretty sure we've always had restrictions

00:16:03.600 about levels of violence and nudity

00:16:09.560 and sexual stuff, right?

00:16:12.840 Am I wrong?

00:16:14.940 Now, even though it's a classic,

00:16:16.460 yeah, I know, in this genre it's a classic,

00:16:20.680 but why is this even news?

00:16:22.800 Is it news?

00:16:24.600 I mean, that's a serious question.

00:16:26.340 Isn't this just the most ordinary thing?

00:16:28.500 And I think that the political part of this

00:16:33.020 is that because it's about the Holocaust,

00:16:35.160 maybe it would be denying kids, you know,

00:16:37.420 some history about the Holocaust.

00:16:39.640 But I don't feel like that's really going to be skipped.

00:16:44.440 Are they skipping the Holocaust and history now?

00:16:47.400 You need a comic to do it?

00:16:48.900 I don't know, it just feels like a non-story

00:16:50.520 that turned into a story.

00:16:53.020 So, can you believe that the Biden administration

00:16:57.320 is going to appoint a Havana Syndrome coordinator?

00:17:02.800 So, Havana Syndrome, the thing that,

00:17:04.980 as far as we can tell, never happened and doesn't exist,

00:17:07.940 is probably a psychological disorder,

00:17:10.840 although there could be actual physical disorders

00:17:13.000 caused by something,

00:17:14.800 but unlikely to have been caused by a directed energy attack.

00:17:18.280 But we have a sitting senator,

00:17:20.940 a Democrat, not that it matters, in this case,

00:17:24.840 Senator Gene Shaheen, who tweeted,

00:17:28.340 for too long, Americans affected by directed energy attacks...

00:17:32.280 What?

00:17:35.680 What?

00:17:36.920 I guess this is a big problem in your world.

00:17:39.940 Americans affected by directed energy attacks

00:17:42.780 have struggled and fought to access the care they need

00:17:45.720 and deserve to get well.

00:17:47.660 Their experiences drove my effort

00:17:49.240 to establish this coordinator

00:17:50.880 and reform our government response

00:17:53.180 to provide equitable... blah, blah, blah.

00:17:56.140 So, there's a senator who believes that

00:17:58.620 it's proven enough

00:18:01.080 that she can just tweet it out like fact

00:18:03.380 that there was a directed energy attack.

00:18:06.760 At the very least,

00:18:09.380 it's not proven.

00:18:11.900 Can we all agree on that?

00:18:13.380 At the very least,

00:18:16.240 it's not proven there was a...

00:18:17.740 you know, it's not in evidence.

00:18:19.800 There is some suspicion.

00:18:22.020 Now, the latest I've seen

00:18:25.000 is that it's been debunked.

00:18:26.980 But, you know,

00:18:27.640 debunked doesn't mean

00:18:28.820 the debunk is right either.

00:18:35.220 So, I don't doubt

00:18:36.860 that people have actual medical problems.

00:18:39.420 I just don't know that this is a source.

00:18:41.240 And I think it's weird

00:18:43.040 that we're going to have

00:18:44.040 a coordinator for a mass hysteria

00:18:47.740 as if it had been real.

00:18:50.740 And, you know, it would be hilarious.

00:18:55.480 Hypothetically.

00:18:56.880 What if Trump gets re-elected?

00:19:00.680 Work with me on this.

00:19:02.000 Hold.

00:19:03.020 What if Trump gets elected

00:19:04.380 and then appoints

00:19:06.700 a Trump derangement syndrome coordinator?

00:19:09.900 to try to figure out

00:19:13.760 how to collectively deal

00:19:16.640 with the damage

00:19:17.480 that's been done

00:19:18.220 to people who are suffering

00:19:19.300 from Trump derangement syndrome?

00:19:21.620 The source,

00:19:23.040 I think the source

00:19:24.240 of the Trump derangement syndrome

00:19:25.860 is a directed energy weapon.

00:19:30.620 Now, that directed energy weapon

00:19:32.280 is the press

00:19:33.300 and the fake news.

00:19:34.340 But, you'd have to admit

00:19:37.160 that the press

00:19:38.320 is directing its energy,

00:19:40.520 directed energy,

00:19:42.560 at the people's skulls

00:19:45.340 who are consuming

00:19:46.160 the fake news,

00:19:47.880 the directed energy,

00:19:49.580 and that it's causing them

00:19:51.040 in many cases,

00:19:52.980 correct me if I'm wrong,

00:19:54.800 give me a fact check on this,

00:19:57.460 actual verifiable

00:19:59.020 mental illness,

00:20:01.360 bam.

00:20:01.680 Right?

00:20:07.240 Trump could literally do this.

00:20:10.340 Now,

00:20:11.060 we wouldn't want to see

00:20:12.400 a budget for that person,

00:20:13.640 right?

00:20:13.980 I wouldn't want to spend

00:20:14.900 money on it.

00:20:16.360 But,

00:20:17.060 it would be hilarious

00:20:18.360 and it would be

00:20:20.500 completely defensible

00:20:22.060 because if the news

00:20:23.700 reported on it

00:20:24.660 and they tried to say

00:20:25.520 how ridiculous it was,

00:20:27.640 they would still have to

00:20:28.560 talk to the experts,

00:20:29.660 wouldn't they?

00:20:30.060 What would the experts say?

00:20:34.780 What would the experts say?

00:20:36.740 Would they say

00:20:37.340 there's no such thing

00:20:38.560 as people having

00:20:39.900 mental illness

00:20:40.780 from the time of Trump?

00:20:43.640 No,

00:20:44.240 they wouldn't say that.

00:20:45.700 I'm pretty sure

00:20:46.480 the experts would confirm

00:20:47.800 that something like

00:20:49.400 Trump derangement syndrome

00:20:50.800 absolutely exists.

00:20:53.800 And then we'd have to talk

00:20:55.300 about where it came from.

00:20:57.300 Wouldn't we?

00:20:58.080 And, of course,

00:21:02.100 we'll never agree

00:21:02.720 where it came from.

00:21:03.900 But wouldn't it be hilarious

00:21:05.080 if Trump made

00:21:06.460 the conversation

00:21:07.320 about where you got

00:21:08.960 the Trump derangement syndrome

00:21:10.420 instead of whether

00:21:11.780 or not it exists?

00:21:15.080 I mean,

00:21:15.720 it would just be

00:21:16.980 too perfect.

00:21:18.640 And even better

00:21:19.740 than doing it

00:21:20.420 for real,

00:21:22.160 better than doing it

00:21:23.140 for real,

00:21:23.920 would be to do it

00:21:25.060 on the campaign trail

00:21:26.060 and say he's going

00:21:26.960 to do it,

00:21:27.740 but you don't know

00:21:28.460 if he's kidding or not.

00:21:30.680 Because you think,

00:21:31.460 he might actually do that.

00:21:32.900 And then the press

00:21:33.580 wouldn't know

00:21:33.980 if he's kidding,

00:21:35.160 so they'd report it

00:21:36.220 like he wasn't kidding,

00:21:37.740 but they wouldn't be sure.

00:21:40.160 And then that would be

00:21:40.900 the story itself,

00:21:41.800 whether he's kidding

00:21:42.560 or not kidding.

00:21:43.240 It would be just

00:21:44.620 the ultimate campaign

00:21:45.780 thing to say,

00:21:47.400 a Trump derangement

00:21:48.480 syndrome coordinator

00:21:49.560 to bring help

00:21:51.020 to those who were

00:21:51.720 damaged by the fake news.

00:21:54.340 And then back it up

00:21:55.300 with examples.

00:21:56.580 When somebody says,

00:21:57.380 that's crazy,

00:21:58.320 they say,

00:21:59.120 well,

00:21:59.720 did you or did you

00:22:00.860 not report X, Y, and Z?

00:22:03.360 And if somebody thought

00:22:04.480 those things were true,

00:22:05.940 shouldn't they feel

00:22:06.760 distressed about them?

00:22:08.660 I'd feel distressed

00:22:09.780 if I thought

00:22:10.260 those things were true.

00:22:11.140 So it's a wonderful,

00:22:13.760 just persuasive message,

00:22:15.760 just for fun.

00:22:18.060 Here's a thought.

00:22:19.800 If climate change

00:22:20.860 causes a whole bunch

00:22:22.000 of problems

00:22:22.820 that have to be remediated,

00:22:26.000 it's going to cost

00:22:26.960 a lot of money, right?

00:22:28.680 So, you know,

00:22:29.620 there have been

00:22:29.880 economic projections.

00:22:31.700 Now, if you can release

00:22:33.400 on the question

00:22:34.040 of whether climate change

00:22:35.360 is real,

00:22:36.080 I know you're all going

00:22:36.800 to be,

00:22:37.540 hey, it's not real.

00:22:38.740 Forget about that

00:22:39.560 for a moment.

00:22:41.140 Because that's not

00:22:41.800 important to the point.

00:22:44.140 If it were true,

00:22:45.660 if it were true

00:22:46.580 that there will be

00:22:47.580 massive economic displacement

00:22:49.680 because of climate change,

00:22:52.360 how do you fix that?

00:22:55.400 Let's say it's going to happen

00:22:56.400 and it's too late

00:22:57.080 to stop it,

00:22:58.500 which the experts

00:23:00.140 are telling us, right?

00:23:01.160 They're already saying

00:23:02.440 it's too late

00:23:03.040 to stop pretty big

00:23:04.880 economic problems.

00:23:06.700 It's not too late

00:23:07.620 maybe to stop

00:23:08.360 even bigger ones,

00:23:09.660 but pretty much

00:23:11.040 the consensus

00:23:11.720 and I know

00:23:12.560 you don't agree,

00:23:14.660 but hold that thought

00:23:15.580 because that's

00:23:16.620 not the conversation.

00:23:17.940 It's not about

00:23:18.700 whether you agree

00:23:19.420 with that.

00:23:20.680 I'm just saying

00:23:21.260 hypothetically,

00:23:22.140 if there were

00:23:22.540 big economic displacement,

00:23:24.720 what would you have

00:23:25.680 to do necessarily

00:23:26.640 to fix it?

00:23:28.460 Well, you'd have

00:23:29.080 to spend a lot

00:23:29.680 of money,

00:23:30.680 am I right?

00:23:31.240 But more ironically,

00:23:33.620 it would take

00:23:34.100 a great deal

00:23:34.660 of energy,

00:23:36.860 literally oil

00:23:38.820 and coal

00:23:39.580 and green energy

00:23:41.760 and nuclear

00:23:42.460 and every other

00:23:43.060 kind of energy.

00:23:44.340 And since we don't have

00:23:45.460 as much green energy

00:23:46.880 or nuclear

00:23:47.440 as we need,

00:23:48.740 nuclear being green too,

00:23:50.800 where would you get it?

00:23:54.620 So I feel as though

00:23:55.700 you've got,

00:23:56.380 it's just a question

00:23:57.320 I haven't seen addressed,

00:23:58.260 that if you have to fix

00:23:59.700 all the economic displacement,

00:24:02.000 it would necessarily

00:24:03.240 mean a whole bunch

00:24:04.160 of energy increase,

00:24:06.160 which would also

00:24:07.680 make the climate worse,

00:24:10.400 right?

00:24:10.940 I guess the only question

00:24:12.140 is if you have

00:24:12.720 a long range

00:24:13.460 80, you know,

00:24:14.940 80 year economic model,

00:24:17.540 is anybody doing it right?

00:24:19.620 Or could it even

00:24:20.440 be done right?

00:24:22.160 You know,

00:24:22.660 is it just safe to say,

00:24:24.900 this is sort of

00:24:25.620 a Jordan Peterson

00:24:26.560 take as well,

00:24:27.320 that if you're looking

00:24:29.060 at a, you know,

00:24:29.700 100 year model,

00:24:31.540 it doesn't matter

00:24:32.440 how good you are

00:24:35.620 at modeling,

00:24:36.240 you're not going

00:24:36.720 to get it right.

00:24:37.680 It's just not a thing.

00:24:38.960 But I wonder

00:24:39.420 about the feedback thing

00:24:40.460 that,

00:24:42.520 and let me now

00:24:43.180 simplify that whole point

00:24:44.440 that I should have

00:24:45.140 started with.

00:24:47.080 There are some

00:24:47.820 who say

00:24:48.340 that your well-being

00:24:50.180 is directly related

00:24:51.500 to how much energy

00:24:52.240 you could use

00:24:52.920 or that's available

00:24:54.180 to you cheaply.

00:24:55.900 Maybe that's all

00:24:56.620 you need to know.

00:24:58.360 What if,

00:25:00.100 what if

00:25:00.740 the only thing

00:25:01.520 we did

00:25:02.080 is we just

00:25:03.080 ignored the climate

00:25:04.180 and everything else?

00:25:05.000 I'm not saying it,

00:25:05.720 I'm just,

00:25:06.080 this is just

00:25:06.540 a mental exercise.

00:25:07.840 What if you just

00:25:08.500 ignored everything

00:25:09.520 and focused on

00:25:11.180 one rule

00:25:11.900 and the one rule

00:25:13.820 was this?

00:25:15.860 The more energy

00:25:18.040 you can provide

00:25:19.000 for everybody

00:25:19.580 at the cheapest cost,

00:25:21.240 the better everybody

00:25:22.760 will be in the long run.

00:25:26.580 I have a feeling

00:25:27.680 it is that simple

00:25:28.580 that you could ignore

00:25:30.280 all the models

00:25:31.080 and all the everything

00:25:31.860 and just try as hard

00:25:33.420 as you could

00:25:34.000 to drive down

00:25:35.100 the cost of energy

00:25:36.020 and also to produce

00:25:37.140 more of it

00:25:37.720 in every way

00:25:38.980 that you could.

00:25:39.540 like get as much

00:25:41.600 oil as you can

00:25:42.500 because if you

00:25:44.680 boost the economy

00:25:45.720 of any place,

00:25:48.280 it's going to do

00:25:49.480 better

00:25:49.840 against any

00:25:51.980 climate change risks.

00:25:53.000 so I feel as if

00:25:55.640 we have all this

00:25:56.700 complication

00:25:57.400 because there are

00:25:58.540 people whose jobs

00:25:59.440 it is to do

00:26:00.880 complicated stuff.

00:26:03.480 Right?

00:26:05.060 The scientists

00:26:05.920 have to do

00:26:06.540 complicated stuff

00:26:07.600 or else

00:26:09.100 what's the point

00:26:10.140 of being a scientist?

00:26:11.780 That's what they do.

00:26:12.840 They do the complicated stuff.

00:26:14.460 So you probably,

00:26:15.280 we probably get drawn

00:26:16.500 into thinking

00:26:18.060 things are way more

00:26:19.080 complicated

00:26:19.620 than they should be

00:26:20.760 because there are

00:26:21.960 people whose job

00:26:22.760 it is to say,

00:26:24.040 hey, you better pay me

00:26:25.000 because I can do

00:26:25.600 this complicated stuff

00:26:26.660 and you can't.

00:26:28.640 But it might be

00:26:29.900 a simple economic truth

00:26:32.080 that more energy

00:26:33.440 equals more better

00:26:34.520 all the time,

00:26:35.300 every time.

00:26:37.880 And I would love

00:26:38.960 to see some economist,

00:26:41.120 especially an economist

00:26:42.600 who's involved

00:26:43.920 in any kind

00:26:44.460 of climate change.

00:26:45.200 I guess I should have

00:26:47.540 asked that question

00:26:48.140 to Bjorn Lomborg,

00:26:50.300 right?

00:26:50.760 He would be

00:26:51.160 the right kind

00:26:51.680 of person

00:26:51.960 to ask that question.

00:26:53.240 Is it true,

00:26:54.600 just generally speaking,

00:26:56.100 that more energy

00:26:56.900 more cheaply

00:26:58.520 just always

00:26:59.440 is the right answer?

00:27:00.480 No exception.

00:27:02.040 It might be.

00:27:04.160 I'll just put it out there.

00:27:06.400 If I were running

00:27:07.320 for president,

00:27:08.180 I think I'd be saying that.

00:27:10.160 I did my

00:27:11.240 maskless experiment

00:27:12.320 on February 1st.

00:27:15.540 Here was my result.

00:27:17.000 In mask-required California,

00:27:18.920 I was the only

00:27:20.900 maskless shopper

00:27:22.700 in my supermarket

00:27:23.700 and it was pretty crowded.

00:27:25.120 There were a lot

00:27:25.400 of people there.

00:27:28.460 Not a single problem.

00:27:30.700 I just didn't wear a wand

00:27:32.020 and nobody said anything.

00:27:33.940 Now, I did use

00:27:34.740 the self-checkout

00:27:35.620 because I was going

00:27:37.880 for a soft target here.

00:27:39.940 It was more important

00:27:40.940 for me to get in

00:27:41.880 and get out

00:27:42.380 without being challenged

00:27:43.600 than it was to

00:27:45.280 make any specific

00:27:46.800 thing happen.

00:27:47.800 So I wanted to use

00:27:48.500 the self-checkout

00:27:49.380 but of course

00:27:51.380 the self-checkout

00:27:52.140 never works

00:27:52.780 or there's always

00:27:54.680 some problem.

00:27:55.480 So I ended up

00:27:56.180 interacting with

00:27:57.020 a masked employee

00:27:58.340 of the supermarket

00:27:59.180 who stood next to me

00:28:01.140 with her mask on

00:28:01.960 and said nothing

00:28:03.400 about the fact

00:28:04.000 I didn't have one.

00:28:05.900 Now,

00:28:07.140 do you think

00:28:09.720 half of the people

00:28:11.040 looked at me

00:28:11.640 and said you magnificent bastard

00:28:13.400 I wish I could do that

00:28:15.260 and half of them said

00:28:16.640 you're going to kill

00:28:17.220 my grandmother?

00:28:18.760 Maybe.

00:28:19.400 I don't know.

00:28:20.020 I couldn't tell.

00:28:21.160 I will just tell you

00:28:22.060 that I couldn't detect

00:28:23.220 anything except me

00:28:25.140 walking around

00:28:25.860 and if I have to be honest

00:28:29.300 I'm not exactly

00:28:30.980 the kind of person

00:28:32.000 that gets challenged

00:28:33.020 in my town.

00:28:36.100 So it's not really

00:28:37.440 a fair test.

00:28:39.420 If I may throw

00:28:40.440 some systemic racism

00:28:42.720 at you

00:28:43.220 it is a true thing

00:28:45.160 that people

00:28:46.340 who look like me

00:28:47.560 don't get challenged

00:28:49.960 in a town like mine.

00:28:51.720 Let me give you

00:28:52.240 an example.

00:28:53.500 If I saw

00:28:54.320 a construction site

00:28:55.440 I could walk

00:28:57.640 into the middle

00:28:58.220 of the construction site

00:28:59.360 and the people

00:29:00.480 wouldn't stop me

00:29:01.880 they would assume

00:29:03.060 I was in charge.

00:29:05.460 It's true.

00:29:06.040 I could talk myself

00:29:08.000 past any security.

00:29:10.780 It's true.

00:29:12.160 Do you think

00:29:12.520 I've ever been

00:29:13.520 stopped by security

00:29:14.480 and couldn't get through?

00:29:16.940 Like ultimately

00:29:17.660 couldn't get through?

00:29:18.820 No.

00:29:20.000 No.

00:29:21.320 It is literally true

00:29:23.120 that I'm in that

00:29:23.900 exact demographic

00:29:25.180 that looks like

00:29:27.040 it should be

00:29:27.600 ruling the world

00:29:28.460 because systemic racism.

00:29:30.380 Right?

00:29:31.100 And so people

00:29:32.160 just sort of assume

00:29:33.280 that I'm trouble.

00:29:36.520 Not trouble

00:29:37.360 like physically

00:29:38.100 but I just look like

00:29:39.900 I'm not going

00:29:41.040 to challenge that guy

00:29:41.880 he's probably got

00:29:42.780 he's probably got

00:29:44.080 an ace up his sleeve.

00:29:46.180 Right?

00:29:46.680 So I have a feeling

00:29:47.880 that when I walk

00:29:48.640 through Safeway

00:29:49.400 I don't get

00:29:50.840 the same challenge

00:29:52.040 I might be

00:29:52.640 if I were

00:29:53.160 20 years old.

00:29:55.120 Am I right?

00:29:56.320 If I were

00:29:56.780 20 years old

00:29:57.660 do you think

00:29:58.060 somebody would have

00:29:58.620 told me

00:29:58.880 to put a mask on?

00:30:00.980 I bet they would have.

00:30:02.700 Maybe.

00:30:03.280 More likely.

00:30:04.840 Anyway

00:30:05.240 so I tried it

00:30:06.000 in a few different

00:30:06.880 corporate chains

00:30:07.820 and the private

00:30:09.240 private companies

00:30:10.360 are all maskless

00:30:11.540 at this point

00:30:12.100 for all practical purposes.

00:30:14.460 Nobody wears a mask

00:30:15.560 at their home.

00:30:16.240 Nobody wears a mask

00:30:17.060 to socialize.

00:30:18.440 Nobody's telling

00:30:19.060 their kids to stay home

00:30:20.260 because of COVID.

00:30:22.100 I mean basically

00:30:22.860 masking's over

00:30:24.380 if you want it to be.

00:30:25.960 So here's my point.

00:30:28.700 Masking's optional

00:30:29.540 in California.

00:30:30.760 It's over.

00:30:32.000 Now if you'd like

00:30:32.840 to push it harder

00:30:33.780 if you're in a state

00:30:34.600 that wants to push it

00:30:35.560 I think it is now

00:30:36.780 fair to give a bad

00:30:37.720 Yelp review

00:30:38.540 to any business

00:30:40.140 that challenges you

00:30:41.740 on being maskless.

00:30:43.620 Not a bad

00:30:44.680 Yelp review

00:30:45.340 for requiring it

00:30:46.540 because that's usually

00:30:47.420 just putting a sign up.

00:30:49.520 I don't care

00:30:50.660 what sign

00:30:51.260 somebody puts up.

00:30:53.160 But at this point

00:30:54.460 and I wouldn't

00:30:55.960 have said this earlier

00:30:56.760 in fact

00:30:57.600 I didn't want

00:30:58.140 to recommend this earlier

00:30:59.180 because I think

00:31:00.120 Yelp is like

00:31:00.920 it's a nuclear weapon.

00:31:03.000 You don't want

00:31:03.620 to use that one.

00:31:05.220 Yelp will take

00:31:06.200 a business out.

00:31:07.580 It's really bad

00:31:08.820 if you get Yelped.

00:31:10.500 This is one of the reasons

00:31:11.560 that I couldn't

00:31:12.200 own a restaurant.

00:31:13.820 If somebody

00:31:14.600 was mad at me

00:31:15.460 for something I did

00:31:16.560 in my public life

00:31:18.060 they would go to Yelp

00:31:19.620 and give my restaurant

00:31:21.380 that had nothing

00:31:22.080 to do with anything

00:31:22.960 a bad review.

00:31:25.680 And if you have

00:31:26.300 a bad review

00:31:27.020 on Yelp

00:31:27.800 you're dead

00:31:28.700 if you're a local

00:31:29.560 restaurant.

00:31:30.360 You're just dead.

00:31:31.880 So people had

00:31:33.500 the ability

00:31:33.960 to put me

00:31:34.500 out of business

00:31:35.100 and that's kind

00:31:36.640 of what happened.

00:31:38.000 I mean there

00:31:38.400 are other stories

00:31:39.640 for why being

00:31:40.760 in a restaurant

00:31:41.220 is a bad business

00:31:42.020 but I couldn't

00:31:43.760 get past

00:31:44.200 the bad Yelp reviews

00:31:45.440 from the people

00:31:46.700 who were mad at me

00:31:47.460 for other reasons

00:31:48.240 basically.

00:31:49.640 So Yelp

00:31:50.280 is that powerful.

00:31:51.360 It was powerful

00:31:51.940 enough to completely

00:31:53.240 change my business

00:31:54.200 life.

00:31:56.240 That's how powerful

00:31:56.840 it was.

00:31:57.700 And I figure

00:31:58.180 I have my own power

00:31:59.620 so it's not like

00:32:00.720 I'm a powerless

00:32:01.400 individual in society

00:32:03.560 as I just said.

00:32:05.380 And Yelp

00:32:05.840 took me out

00:32:06.620 no problem.

00:32:08.460 So if there's

00:32:09.720 a business now

00:32:10.900 don't give them

00:32:12.280 a bad review

00:32:13.100 about some

00:32:13.980 of their service

00:32:14.800 or something.

00:32:15.540 Just be specific

00:32:16.640 and it'll show up

00:32:18.000 and it will get

00:32:18.440 their attention.

00:32:19.820 Anyway

00:32:20.100 schools across America

00:32:22.540 are implementing

00:32:23.240 some kind of BLM

00:32:24.780 week of action

00:32:26.220 and one of the

00:32:28.080 I guess

00:32:29.100 controversial parts

00:32:30.400 is that the BLM

00:32:31.300 is calling for a

00:32:32.260 quote

00:32:33.040 disruption of

00:32:34.260 western nuclear

00:32:35.120 family.

00:32:36.520 That doesn't sound

00:32:37.460 good.

00:32:38.160 Let's dig into

00:32:38.720 this a little bit

00:32:39.460 and return to the

00:32:42.200 quote

00:32:42.580 collective village

00:32:43.560 that takes care

00:32:45.000 of each other.

00:32:46.040 So this is part

00:32:46.700 of a starter kit

00:32:47.740 for schools

00:32:48.960 that want to be

00:32:49.480 teaching the BLM

00:32:50.760 week of action

00:32:51.460 stuff.

00:32:52.620 Now here is

00:32:53.700 my persuasion

00:32:54.880 advice.

00:32:58.040 I know you're

00:32:58.980 going to hate

00:32:59.320 this

00:32:59.700 but I

00:33:01.540 almost sort

00:33:02.840 of kind

00:33:03.280 of agree

00:33:03.820 with BLM

00:33:04.820 but the way

00:33:06.160 they're saying

00:33:06.760 it makes it

00:33:08.120 sound like

00:33:08.540 nothing you

00:33:09.020 could possibly

00:33:09.620 agree with.

00:33:11.220 Here's what

00:33:11.860 they should have

00:33:12.420 said

00:33:12.740 and maybe I'm

00:33:13.960 interpreting it

00:33:14.620 wrong

00:33:14.900 but I think

00:33:16.260 this is what

00:33:16.940 they would want.

00:33:17.640 if a nuclear

00:33:20.400 family works

00:33:21.280 well for you

00:33:21.980 go ahead

00:33:22.840 and do it

00:33:23.360 but there

00:33:25.120 are lots of

00:33:25.560 people for

00:33:26.000 whom it

00:33:26.380 doesn't work

00:33:27.000 and won't

00:33:27.380 work

00:33:27.700 and a lot

00:33:28.620 of them

00:33:28.860 are called

00:33:29.220 children.

00:33:30.740 For children

00:33:31.660 you might

00:33:32.660 have one

00:33:33.420 parent

00:33:33.840 who's an

00:33:34.860 addict

00:33:35.180 so there

00:33:36.380 are probably

00:33:36.840 lots of

00:33:37.380 people who

00:33:37.940 just

00:33:38.180 through no

00:33:39.760 fault of

00:33:40.140 their own

00:33:40.560 just the

00:33:42.040 nuclear family

00:33:42.800 isn't working

00:33:43.320 so they need

00:33:43.980 some kind

00:33:44.440 of extra

00:33:44.860 village help

00:33:45.640 so don't

00:33:48.660 get mad at

00:33:49.140 me for

00:33:50.000 thinking that

00:33:52.040 the nuclear

00:33:53.320 family is the

00:33:54.360 best institution

00:33:55.880 you all agree

00:33:58.680 with that right

00:33:59.260 that the

00:34:00.440 nuclear family

00:34:01.220 when it works

00:34:01.820 right I think

00:34:03.940 everybody would

00:34:04.500 agree it's the

00:34:05.000 best.

00:34:06.160 Does anybody

00:34:06.500 disagree with

00:34:07.040 that?

00:34:07.660 In the ideal

00:34:08.800 situation you

00:34:09.720 know your

00:34:10.460 parents are

00:34:11.000 functional and

00:34:11.940 you've got

00:34:12.760 enough money

00:34:13.340 you live in a

00:34:14.140 nice place

00:34:14.700 I don't

00:34:15.340 think you

00:34:15.660 could beat

00:34:15.960 that but

00:34:17.440 would you

00:34:17.840 also agree

00:34:18.480 that not

00:34:18.880 everybody

00:34:19.220 could achieve

00:34:19.740 it realistically

00:34:21.340 you know the

00:34:22.500 number of

00:34:22.880 people could

00:34:23.260 hit that

00:34:23.700 would be

00:34:24.220 25%

00:34:26.120 I'm thinking

00:34:27.140 you know I

00:34:28.220 say 25%

00:34:29.260 because there's

00:34:29.720 another 25%

00:34:30.860 that pretends

00:34:31.480 they're happy

00:34:31.960 but they're

00:34:32.880 not.

00:34:34.560 So if you

00:34:35.860 actually could

00:34:36.980 know secretly

00:34:37.880 in people's

00:34:38.680 heads whether

00:34:39.160 things are

00:34:39.620 working or

00:34:40.120 not I

00:34:41.160 think that

00:34:41.640 nuclear family

00:34:42.380 thing I

00:34:43.420 mean what

00:34:43.880 are the odds

00:34:44.580 of getting

00:34:44.860 one good

00:34:45.400 parent what

00:34:46.700 are the

00:34:46.900 odds of

00:34:47.240 that?

00:34:49.120 Not that

00:34:49.840 high right

00:34:50.520 50-50?

00:34:52.400 The odds

00:34:52.760 of getting

00:34:52.980 one good

00:34:53.400 parent about

00:34:53.820 50-50?

00:34:55.040 Now what

00:34:55.500 are the odds

00:34:55.880 that you get

00:34:56.180 two good

00:34:56.900 parents when

00:34:58.240 the odds

00:34:58.580 of getting

00:34:58.860 one is

00:34:59.300 50-50?

00:35:01.660 25%

00:35:02.100 right?

00:35:03.860 So there's

00:35:04.340 a 25%

00:35:05.140 just based

00:35:06.440 on the

00:35:07.120 awfulness of

00:35:07.900 people that

00:35:09.120 you're going

00:35:09.400 to get at

00:35:10.000 least a

00:35:10.340 below average

00:35:10.960 experience.

00:35:11.540 And then

00:35:13.260 one of

00:35:13.640 them is

00:35:13.900 an addict

00:35:14.320 and blah

00:35:14.760 blah blah.

00:35:15.860 So I'm

00:35:17.880 only making

00:35:18.360 a persuasion

00:35:19.500 suggestion

00:35:20.980 here.

00:35:21.940 So don't

00:35:23.520 get mad at

00:35:23.980 me for

00:35:24.380 doing something

00:35:24.940 that sounds

00:35:25.340 like I

00:35:25.760 support BLM.

00:35:26.820 If you

00:35:27.140 haven't heard

00:35:27.720 the full

00:35:29.440 breadth of

00:35:30.540 my opinions,

00:35:31.700 I think

00:35:32.100 Black Lives

00:35:32.640 Matter has

00:35:33.060 been a

00:35:33.520 scam

00:35:33.900 organization

00:35:34.620 even though

00:35:35.620 they had

00:35:35.960 good intentions

00:35:37.080 by the

00:35:37.500 people.

00:35:38.620 But I

00:35:38.960 think the

00:35:39.240 leaders at

00:35:40.500 this point

00:35:40.920 are obviously

00:35:41.520 just scammers.

00:35:43.940 So don't

00:35:46.680 use the

00:35:46.960 word disruption.

00:35:47.840 Just say

00:35:48.200 you're

00:35:48.480 augmenting,

00:35:49.240 you're

00:35:49.440 improving.

00:35:50.440 That would

00:35:50.740 be better.

00:35:52.040 Here's another

00:35:52.780 persuasion

00:35:53.420 thing about

00:35:54.020 school choice.

00:35:57.680 I guess

00:35:58.140 to a

00:35:59.240 representative

00:35:59.720 who was

00:36:00.060 talking to

00:36:00.640 a senator.

00:36:02.000 I didn't

00:36:02.160 see what

00:36:02.960 the setting

00:36:03.380 was.

00:36:04.240 It doesn't

00:36:04.600 matter to

00:36:04.940 the point.

00:36:05.300 But it

00:36:05.460 looked like

00:36:05.780 some

00:36:06.020 congressional

00:36:06.560 kind of

00:36:07.140 debate

00:36:08.040 thing.

00:36:08.400 And

00:36:09.280 representative

00:36:10.680 Noyan,

00:36:13.160 I hope

00:36:13.560 I'm

00:36:13.760 pronouncing

00:36:14.120 that right,

00:36:15.720 asked another

00:36:16.860 representative,

00:36:18.840 I'll get

00:36:19.160 to that,

00:36:19.940 says,

00:36:20.560 why don't

00:36:20.980 private

00:36:21.720 schools have

00:36:22.380 the same

00:36:22.740 level of

00:36:23.280 accountability

00:36:23.820 and scrutiny

00:36:24.680 as our

00:36:25.660 public

00:36:25.960 schools?

00:36:27.800 And the

00:36:29.360 answer from

00:36:29.960 representative

00:36:30.740 Cantrell was,

00:36:32.500 quote,

00:36:32.880 and here's the

00:36:33.560 kill shot,

00:36:34.680 this is done

00:36:35.180 so well.

00:36:35.600 He goes,

00:36:36.480 you're right,

00:36:37.400 they don't

00:36:37.800 have the

00:36:38.140 same level

00:36:38.640 of accountability.

00:36:39.840 They have a

00:36:40.340 much higher

00:36:40.840 level of

00:36:41.360 accountability.

00:36:42.680 Families have

00:36:43.200 the freedom

00:36:43.640 to leave.

00:36:48.180 And I

00:36:49.040 thought,

00:36:50.160 well,

00:36:50.640 yeah,

00:36:50.920 we're done

00:36:51.240 here.

00:36:52.240 We're done

00:36:52.620 here.

00:36:52.880 That's the

00:36:53.480 high ground.

00:36:54.480 The high

00:36:55.080 ground maneuver

00:36:55.700 is accountability

00:36:57.500 is the only

00:36:58.260 way you get

00:36:58.720 anything done.

00:37:00.540 Am I right?

00:37:01.980 Who's going to

00:37:02.700 argue with that

00:37:03.440 statement?

00:37:04.580 Having

00:37:04.960 accountability

00:37:05.580 is the only

00:37:06.920 way anything's

00:37:07.660 ever worked.

00:37:08.980 There's no

00:37:09.340 exception.

00:37:11.000 So what is

00:37:12.640 more accountable

00:37:13.280 than people

00:37:13.900 can say,

00:37:14.460 well,

00:37:14.640 screw this,

00:37:15.160 I'll take my

00:37:15.620 money somewhere

00:37:16.160 else?

00:37:17.240 You couldn't

00:37:18.000 get more

00:37:18.460 accountable.

00:37:20.180 So if

00:37:20.720 somebody's

00:37:21.140 arguing for

00:37:21.700 a school

00:37:22.020 choice,

00:37:23.400 Representative

00:37:24.100 Cantrell is

00:37:26.280 either a

00:37:26.740 natural,

00:37:27.940 like he just

00:37:28.760 might be just

00:37:29.320 a great

00:37:29.660 communicator.

00:37:30.420 I don't know

00:37:30.960 anything else

00:37:31.400 about him.

00:37:32.240 But the way

00:37:32.660 he so succinctly

00:37:35.120 put this,

00:37:36.360 it's the

00:37:36.920 succinct part

00:37:38.080 that's the

00:37:38.760 impressive part.

00:37:40.320 Having the

00:37:40.980 idea is

00:37:41.720 something you've

00:37:42.240 all thought

00:37:42.660 of,

00:37:43.060 am I right?

00:37:44.600 Just knowing

00:37:45.480 that that's

00:37:45.980 true is

00:37:46.560 something you've

00:37:47.140 all thought

00:37:47.540 of,

00:37:47.720 so it's

00:37:48.140 not that

00:37:48.580 novel.

00:37:50.340 But how

00:37:50.860 he boiled

00:37:51.380 it down

00:37:51.980 was,

00:37:53.960 it's the

00:37:54.640 highest level

00:37:55.180 of accountability,

00:37:56.520 families have

00:37:57.180 the freedom

00:37:57.640 to leave.

00:37:58.940 You're done.

00:37:59.440 That's

00:38:00.880 perfect

00:38:01.200 writing and

00:38:02.100 perfect

00:38:02.380 speaking.

00:38:05.460 So I

00:38:06.040 just point

00:38:06.420 that out

00:38:06.780 as good

00:38:07.240 persuasion.

00:38:09.580 And I

00:38:10.220 would also

00:38:10.580 say that

00:38:11.080 you can

00:38:11.360 always tell

00:38:11.760 the Republican

00:38:12.380 in a

00:38:12.800 conversation,

00:38:13.580 even without

00:38:14.180 them being

00:38:14.580 labeled,

00:38:16.100 do you know

00:38:16.520 how?

00:38:17.920 The

00:38:18.140 Republican is

00:38:18.800 the one

00:38:19.040 who is

00:38:19.280 making an

00:38:19.820 appeal to

00:38:20.280 how human

00:38:21.020 incentives

00:38:21.940 and motivation

00:38:22.800 works.

00:38:24.340 And the

00:38:24.700 Democrat is

00:38:25.460 the one

00:38:25.680 who is

00:38:25.880 acting like

00:38:26.520 they forgot

00:38:27.300 that variable.

00:38:28.060 I saw

00:38:30.440 the video

00:38:30.860 before I

00:38:31.340 knew the

00:38:31.860 political

00:38:32.420 parties,

00:38:33.280 but it's

00:38:34.300 just instant.

00:38:35.660 As soon

00:38:36.380 as you see

00:38:36.780 one talk

00:38:37.260 about

00:38:37.520 motivation

00:38:38.120 and incentive

00:38:39.980 and market

00:38:41.400 forces and

00:38:42.240 the other

00:38:42.500 one acting

00:38:43.060 like they

00:38:43.840 don't even

00:38:44.180 understand

00:38:44.580 that,

00:38:45.820 you know

00:38:46.140 the parties.

00:38:47.480 So Biden

00:38:48.000 is doing

00:38:48.360 this cancer

00:38:49.160 moonshot.

00:38:49.880 He's

00:38:50.060 resurrecting

00:38:50.660 it.

00:38:50.920 They had

00:38:51.180 this during

00:38:51.600 Obama,

00:38:52.240 Biden

00:38:52.600 administration.

00:38:54.080 And I

00:38:54.540 guess it's

00:38:54.880 mostly funding

00:38:55.680 to get,

00:38:57.340 and he's

00:38:57.660 got an

00:38:58.100 aggressive

00:38:58.760 goal of

00:38:59.520 reducing

00:39:00.380 cancer death

00:39:01.180 rates by

00:39:01.600 50%.

00:39:02.400 Pretty good.

00:39:06.000 I mean,

00:39:06.400 I like the

00:39:06.860 fact that

00:39:08.600 he's taking

00:39:10.100 a shot at

00:39:10.640 it.

00:39:11.340 But,

00:39:12.080 so let me

00:39:13.080 say this,

00:39:13.500 from a,

00:39:14.240 I don't know,

00:39:14.760 I'm assuming

00:39:15.380 that funding

00:39:16.320 it is going

00:39:17.000 to help.

00:39:17.920 Apparently

00:39:18.360 cancer rates,

00:39:19.860 death rates

00:39:20.320 have fallen

00:39:20.740 quite a bit,

00:39:21.320 25% in

00:39:22.340 the last,

00:39:24.060 what,

00:39:24.540 what?

00:39:25.040 Yeah.

00:39:25.180 We've

00:39:26.380 already brought

00:39:27.120 cancer death

00:39:27.680 rates down

00:39:28.200 quite a bit.

00:39:29.340 So I'm

00:39:30.040 saying this

00:39:30.440 is probably

00:39:30.840 a reasonably

00:39:31.560 good thing.

00:39:32.240 It's a

00:39:32.480 high priority.

00:39:34.060 All right?

00:39:35.040 It's a

00:39:35.340 high priority.

00:39:37.080 So giving

00:39:37.640 it more

00:39:38.300 money sounds

00:39:39.320 good on

00:39:39.780 paper.

00:39:41.460 But here's

00:39:42.480 the political

00:39:43.160 persuasion

00:39:43.860 problem.

00:39:45.280 And you

00:39:46.240 have to

00:39:46.540 respect him

00:39:47.060 for doing

00:39:47.460 it anyway.

00:39:48.400 You don't

00:39:48.880 want your,

00:39:49.860 you don't

00:39:50.180 want to be

00:39:50.500 associated

00:39:50.960 with cancer.

00:39:51.640 I don't

00:39:53.820 even like

00:39:54.220 to talk

00:39:54.580 about it

00:39:55.000 on the

00:39:55.600 live stream.

00:39:56.780 In fact,

00:39:57.800 that's the

00:39:58.100 last time

00:39:58.480 I'll say

00:39:58.780 it.

00:39:59.340 So I'm

00:39:59.980 not going

00:40:00.220 to use

00:40:00.440 the word

00:40:00.740 again.

00:40:01.520 And that

00:40:01.800 will beg

00:40:02.500 my point.

00:40:04.060 Our brains,

00:40:05.360 we can

00:40:05.820 process

00:40:06.260 some things

00:40:07.240 semi-logically,

00:40:09.040 but it's not

00:40:09.600 how the brain

00:40:10.140 is wired.

00:40:10.700 The brain

00:40:11.160 is wired

00:40:11.620 by association.

00:40:13.620 So the

00:40:14.000 brain just

00:40:14.460 associates

00:40:15.020 things.

00:40:15.520 Oh,

00:40:15.680 this is

00:40:15.980 like this.

00:40:17.020 It's like

00:40:17.500 that.

00:40:17.820 It's different

00:40:18.260 from this.

00:40:18.780 It's like

00:40:19.120 that.

00:40:19.420 And he,

00:40:23.200 for Biden

00:40:23.940 having this

00:40:24.680 moonshot of

00:40:26.420 this word,

00:40:26.960 I'm not going

00:40:27.340 to say out

00:40:27.740 loud because

00:40:28.200 I don't want

00:40:28.640 to associate

00:40:29.000 with it.

00:40:30.840 Even though

00:40:31.440 it's important,

00:40:32.120 even though

00:40:32.380 it's a top

00:40:32.780 priority,

00:40:33.340 even though

00:40:33.680 I would

00:40:34.140 compliment him

00:40:35.660 for having

00:40:36.320 good sense

00:40:37.820 of priorities,

00:40:38.520 I guess.

00:40:40.640 It's

00:40:41.080 politically

00:40:41.520 really bad.

00:40:44.000 Politically,

00:40:44.520 it's just

00:40:44.920 a loser.

00:40:45.940 I don't

00:40:46.380 think Trump

00:40:46.760 would ever

00:40:47.080 do this.

00:40:47.560 Even if

00:40:49.220 you think

00:40:49.520 it's a

00:40:49.780 good idea,

00:40:50.800 I think

00:40:51.140 his political

00:40:51.720 instinct would

00:40:52.580 steer away

00:40:53.860 from it.

00:40:56.220 Rasmussen

00:40:56.700 had a poll

00:40:57.220 asking,

00:40:58.540 is Biden

00:40:58.860 the best

00:40:59.420 or worst

00:40:59.940 president?

00:41:01.660 Or is

00:41:02.700 he one

00:41:03.040 of the

00:41:03.280 best

00:41:03.640 or one

00:41:04.420 of the

00:41:04.640 worst

00:41:04.880 presidents?

00:41:06.260 And 54%

00:41:07.860 in the

00:41:08.580 Rasmussen

00:41:09.000 poll said

00:41:10.200 that Biden

00:41:10.660 is one

00:41:11.160 of the

00:41:11.400 worst.

00:41:13.620 Trump

00:41:14.180 was only

00:41:15.800 43%.

00:41:17.080 So way

00:41:19.800 more people

00:41:20.320 think that

00:41:21.020 Biden is

00:41:21.700 the worst,

00:41:22.180 which means

00:41:22.560 that he's

00:41:22.880 picking up

00:41:23.320 a lot of

00:41:23.640 Democrats,

00:41:24.200 right?

00:41:25.060 So at

00:41:25.580 this point,

00:41:26.580 there are

00:41:27.380 a lot of

00:41:27.840 Democrats

00:41:28.360 who are not

00:41:29.040 liking Joe

00:41:29.660 Biden.

00:41:30.900 And Obama

00:41:32.140 did better

00:41:32.580 than both

00:41:32.960 of them.

00:41:33.260 Only 33%

00:41:34.420 thought he

00:41:34.840 was one

00:41:35.180 of the

00:41:35.320 worst.

00:41:36.300 So here's

00:41:37.080 a progression

00:41:37.700 of people

00:41:40.120 who thought

00:41:40.520 they were

00:41:40.860 one of

00:41:41.260 the worst.

00:41:43.200 33%,

00:41:43.720 43%,

00:41:45.380 54%.

00:41:47.220 Do you

00:41:48.360 think it's

00:41:48.760 actually the

00:41:49.300 president or

00:41:50.660 is there

00:41:50.940 something else

00:41:51.560 going on?

00:41:52.800 What else

00:41:53.620 was happening

00:41:54.260 during this

00:41:54.840 period?

00:41:56.020 What was

00:41:56.520 the other

00:41:56.940 large force?

00:41:58.680 The other

00:41:59.160 large force

00:41:59.800 was the

00:42:00.440 social media

00:42:01.480 and fake

00:42:03.020 news.

00:42:04.120 As social

00:42:05.020 media and

00:42:05.500 fake news

00:42:06.140 got more

00:42:06.600 polarizing,

00:42:08.120 we started

00:42:09.020 to hate

00:42:09.440 our presidents

00:42:09.960 more.

00:42:10.320 Now,

00:42:12.900 it could

00:42:13.440 be a

00:42:13.760 coincidence

00:42:14.200 that the

00:42:15.700 last three

00:42:16.340 of our

00:42:16.660 presidents

00:42:17.160 started out

00:42:18.440 relatively

00:42:19.040 awesome and

00:42:19.880 just got

00:42:20.300 progressively

00:42:20.920 worse.

00:42:22.040 It could

00:42:22.540 be.

00:42:23.400 And then

00:42:23.920 the people

00:42:24.280 noticed and

00:42:24.900 they answered

00:42:25.220 the poll.

00:42:26.360 It could

00:42:26.880 be.

00:42:28.340 We'll rule

00:42:29.160 it out.

00:42:30.100 I mean,

00:42:30.300 it doesn't

00:42:30.580 look that way

00:42:31.120 to me,

00:42:31.480 but we'll

00:42:32.080 rule it

00:42:32.460 out.

00:42:34.560 But I

00:42:35.200 think a

00:42:35.560 better

00:42:35.780 interpretation

00:42:36.280 of this

00:42:36.880 is that

00:42:37.980 everything

00:42:38.560 looks worse.

00:42:40.320 because of

00:42:40.880 the nature

00:42:41.480 of social

00:42:41.920 media and

00:42:42.440 the nature

00:42:42.780 of the

00:42:43.300 fake news

00:42:44.040 business.

00:42:44.580 Just

00:42:44.800 everything

00:42:45.120 looks worse.

00:42:46.420 So my

00:42:47.000 guess would

00:42:47.440 be that our

00:42:47.920 next president,

00:42:48.760 no matter

00:42:49.060 who it is,

00:42:50.600 will set a

00:42:51.780 new record as

00:42:52.640 the worst

00:42:53.100 of the worst.

00:42:54.540 Democrat or

00:42:55.320 Republican,

00:42:55.840 it won't make

00:42:56.260 any difference.

00:42:57.820 I think our

00:42:59.540 next president

00:43:00.100 is going to

00:43:00.680 be both a

00:43:02.860 racist and

00:43:04.060 mentally

00:43:05.940 incompetent.

00:43:07.620 So it's the

00:43:08.480 only way you

00:43:08.960 can get even

00:43:09.440 worse.

00:43:10.320 Could you

00:43:12.720 tell me,

00:43:13.160 did I say

00:43:14.100 yesterday that

00:43:15.400 there was yet

00:43:16.420 another big

00:43:16.980 study that

00:43:17.540 says moderate

00:43:18.760 drinking is

00:43:19.360 not good for

00:43:19.960 you?

00:43:20.720 Did I mention

00:43:21.420 that yesterday?

00:43:24.240 I didn't

00:43:24.860 mention it

00:43:25.220 yesterday.

00:43:25.880 Well,

00:43:26.360 there's another

00:43:26.800 big study that

00:43:27.500 says moderate

00:43:28.060 drinking is

00:43:29.600 not good for

00:43:30.160 you.

00:43:30.760 And if you

00:43:31.260 ever thought

00:43:31.600 it was,

00:43:32.000 it's because

00:43:32.320 the numbers

00:43:32.980 were done

00:43:33.340 wrong.

00:43:35.040 Now,

00:43:35.820 so I did a

00:43:36.800 Google search.

00:43:38.260 Somebody says

00:43:38.780 yes,

00:43:39.020 though.

00:43:40.420 Oh,

00:43:40.620 two days

00:43:41.040 ago he

00:43:41.380 did.

00:43:41.700 Two days

00:43:42.040 ago.

00:43:42.240 One of my

00:43:44.780 best predictions.

00:43:46.020 But one of

00:43:46.420 my other

00:43:46.720 best predictions

00:43:47.340 is that

00:43:48.760 when the

00:43:49.400 pandemic was

00:43:50.940 over that

00:43:53.140 leadership

00:43:53.580 wouldn't

00:43:54.020 matter.

00:43:55.760 In other

00:43:56.140 words,

00:43:56.500 we wouldn't

00:43:57.420 see a

00:43:57.760 difference in

00:43:58.300 leadership as

00:43:59.680 changing your

00:44:01.160 numbers.

00:44:01.500 and I'm

00:44:03.820 going to

00:44:04.080 lay a claim

00:44:05.400 down that

00:44:06.400 the one

00:44:06.880 and only

00:44:07.200 place you

00:44:07.740 can see a

00:44:08.260 clear signal

00:44:09.000 for leadership

00:44:09.680 was Trump's

00:44:12.900 warp speed

00:44:13.740 and arguably

00:44:16.940 closing traffic

00:44:19.780 to China,

00:44:20.440 but I don't

00:44:20.760 know if we

00:44:21.100 can measure

00:44:21.680 that exactly.

00:44:23.180 Now,

00:44:23.460 here's the

00:44:23.860 thing.

00:44:24.600 You also

00:44:25.300 have the

00:44:25.620 benefit of

00:44:26.180 being able

00:44:26.620 to measure

00:44:27.240 some things

00:44:27.840 better than

00:44:28.300 others.

00:44:28.680 whatever you

00:44:31.780 can measure

00:44:32.420 is always

00:44:33.080 going to

00:44:33.540 seem like

00:44:34.380 a more

00:44:34.700 important thing

00:44:35.440 because you

00:44:36.240 have more

00:44:36.500 certainty about

00:44:37.160 it.

00:44:38.020 Because we

00:44:38.920 know who

00:44:39.720 gets us

00:44:40.100 vaccinated,

00:44:40.820 we know if

00:44:41.240 they die,

00:44:42.400 even though

00:44:42.940 the data is

00:44:43.460 bad, it

00:44:44.600 does look

00:44:45.300 according to

00:44:46.120 the official

00:44:46.600 data, and

00:44:48.080 I know, I

00:44:48.800 know, this

00:44:49.620 is before all

00:44:50.340 your alleged

00:44:51.600 vaccine blood

00:44:53.080 clots wipe

00:44:55.000 out America

00:44:55.600 or whatever

00:44:56.060 is going to

00:44:56.400 happen.

00:44:57.020 So we

00:44:57.440 don't know

00:44:57.780 the long

00:44:58.160 run yet,

00:44:59.480 but in

00:44:59.860 the short

00:45:00.240 run, the

00:45:02.280 latest I

00:45:02.820 saw today

00:45:03.380 was there

00:45:04.640 are 16

00:45:05.280 times more

00:45:06.100 vaccinated

00:45:06.580 people in

00:45:07.840 hospitals in

00:45:09.000 America in

00:45:10.200 December than

00:45:12.060 vaccinated.

00:45:14.020 16 times

00:45:15.260 more unvaccinated

00:45:16.460 than vaccinated

00:45:17.320 in the

00:45:17.660 hospital in

00:45:18.480 December.

00:45:19.660 Now, if

00:45:20.080 that's true,

00:45:21.180 or even

00:45:22.080 true-ish,

00:45:23.320 let's say it's

00:45:23.940 just 8 to

00:45:24.400 1, right?

00:45:25.400 Let's say the

00:45:26.080 numbers are

00:45:26.540 terrible, but

00:45:27.160 it's still 8 to

00:45:27.680 1.

00:45:28.420 That is a

00:45:29.200 big effect

00:45:30.380 that can be

00:45:30.940 measured, at

00:45:32.340 least in the

00:45:32.780 short run.

00:45:33.780 Now, remember,

00:45:34.360 I said the

00:45:35.700 leadership that

00:45:36.380 would matter

00:45:36.860 the most.

00:45:37.920 If you think

00:45:38.580 it was a huge

00:45:39.160 mistake and

00:45:40.420 it's going to

00:45:40.840 kill us all,

00:45:41.520 it still

00:45:41.800 mattered the

00:45:42.280 most, right?

00:45:43.600 So my point

00:45:44.180 is matter to

00:45:44.720 the most.

00:45:45.160 I don't want

00:45:45.520 to argue with

00:45:46.080 you about what

00:45:46.700 was a good or

00:45:47.280 bad idea.

00:45:48.340 Can we get

00:45:48.780 away from

00:45:49.100 that?

00:45:50.600 I'm not

00:45:51.160 saying the

00:45:51.620 vaccinations are

00:45:52.400 a good or

00:45:52.740 bad idea.

00:45:53.320 Let's forget

00:45:53.740 about that.

00:45:54.160 just what

00:45:55.340 had an

00:45:55.680 impact.

00:45:56.900 And I'm

00:45:57.600 saying that

00:45:58.080 nobody else

00:45:58.660 really impacted

00:45:59.580 anything.

00:46:01.040 That all the

00:46:02.060 lockdowns,

00:46:03.020 apparently the

00:46:03.860 numbers are all

00:46:04.520 over the place

00:46:05.200 on that.

00:46:06.720 Oh, by the

00:46:07.060 way, there

00:46:07.320 was a new

00:46:09.020 study, you

00:46:10.040 know, a

00:46:10.480 meta-study

00:46:11.980 about the

00:46:12.440 lockdowns that

00:46:13.920 showed that

00:46:14.360 they didn't

00:46:14.840 work, but

00:46:16.020 really they

00:46:16.660 did work,

00:46:17.300 except they

00:46:17.680 didn't work,

00:46:18.420 except it was

00:46:18.900 a meta-study,

00:46:19.980 except the data's

00:46:20.740 bad, but it

00:46:21.300 worked, except

00:46:21.920 in the

00:46:22.300 cases where

00:46:22.780 it didn't

00:46:23.100 work, and

00:46:24.280 then the

00:46:24.580 bad study

00:46:25.120 that was

00:46:25.480 ridiculous.

00:46:27.440 So we

00:46:29.100 don't know

00:46:29.420 anything about

00:46:30.000 lockdowns, but

00:46:31.200 we do know

00:46:31.700 that the

00:46:32.040 signal was not

00:46:32.800 clear, right?

00:46:35.060 You could

00:46:35.660 still argue,

00:46:36.380 ah, you

00:46:36.940 know, maybe

00:46:37.240 in some

00:46:37.620 cases the

00:46:38.260 lockdowns made

00:46:38.940 some, and

00:46:40.060 there's some

00:46:40.780 indication that

00:46:41.400 maybe closing

00:46:42.000 the bars might

00:46:42.660 have made a

00:46:43.180 difference.

00:46:45.180 But the

00:46:47.540 one thing we'd

00:46:48.100 all agree on

00:46:48.760 is there's no

00:46:49.740 clear data,

00:46:50.740 right, there's

00:46:53.040 no clear data

00:46:54.040 that says the

00:46:55.860 lockdowns work.

00:46:57.340 Am I right?

00:46:58.900 Can we get a

00:46:59.720 fact check on

00:47:00.320 that?

00:47:00.900 Because I'm not

00:47:01.420 positive I'm

00:47:02.020 right, but I

00:47:02.560 think I'm

00:47:03.140 right.

00:47:05.720 Well, and

00:47:06.620 if there's a

00:47:07.300 small effect,

00:47:08.220 you know, that

00:47:08.580 wouldn't

00:47:09.080 necessarily be

00:47:09.740 worth the

00:47:10.100 cost.

00:47:11.240 So of the

00:47:12.500 things we can

00:47:13.160 measure, just

00:47:14.100 fact check me

00:47:14.720 on this, of

00:47:15.220 the things we

00:47:15.800 can measure,

00:47:17.880 the vaccinations

00:47:18.660 have the

00:47:19.160 biggest impact,

00:47:20.340 again,

00:47:20.740 I'm not

00:47:21.180 saying good

00:47:21.720 or bad,

00:47:22.540 but the

00:47:23.120 biggest thing

00:47:23.560 you can

00:47:23.840 measure, and

00:47:25.260 that was

00:47:25.500 Trump.

00:47:27.060 Now, some

00:47:27.700 of you can

00:47:28.120 say, oh,

00:47:28.700 wait, you

00:47:29.120 know, DeSantis

00:47:29.840 is a clear

00:47:31.340 example of

00:47:32.140 good leadership,

00:47:33.200 but here's

00:47:34.460 the catch.

00:47:36.960 DeSantis's

00:47:37.440 leadership, at

00:47:39.880 least in terms of

00:47:40.560 staying open,

00:47:41.240 was more about

00:47:41.900 not doing

00:47:42.420 something.

00:47:42.780 and I'm not

00:47:44.420 sure his

00:47:44.700 numbers were

00:47:45.180 really that

00:47:45.540 different from

00:47:46.020 anybody else's.

00:47:47.100 We do like

00:47:47.740 the fact he

00:47:48.220 protected the

00:47:48.900 elderly.

00:47:50.220 We liked his

00:47:50.960 Regeneron thing

00:47:51.880 while that was

00:47:52.860 working with

00:47:54.100 Delta.

00:47:54.980 So he did a

00:47:56.140 lot of stuff

00:47:56.740 right, but

00:47:58.040 you don't see

00:47:59.040 it in the

00:47:59.420 numbers.

00:48:00.740 That's my

00:48:01.160 point.

00:48:02.180 Even if I

00:48:03.420 grant you, and

00:48:04.340 I think it is

00:48:04.820 true, that

00:48:05.720 DeSantis may

00:48:07.360 have hit every

00:48:08.020 note right.

00:48:08.960 He may have

00:48:09.480 hit every note.

00:48:10.340 I don't think

00:48:11.320 it made much

00:48:11.780 difference, but

00:48:13.380 the vaccinations

00:48:13.960 did.

00:48:15.260 Even if they

00:48:16.000 end up killing

00:48:16.520 you, they

00:48:16.860 made a

00:48:17.160 difference.

00:48:18.240 So I think

00:48:18.880 that was my

00:48:19.500 two of my

00:48:21.440 least likely

00:48:22.840 predictions.

00:48:25.540 That moderate

00:48:26.300 drinking, I

00:48:27.420 think I made

00:48:27.800 this 15 years

00:48:28.620 ago, the first

00:48:29.140 time I said

00:48:29.580 it, or 25

00:48:30.820 years ago

00:48:31.340 probably, that

00:48:32.200 there was no

00:48:32.620 way that

00:48:32.940 moderate drinking

00:48:33.540 was going to

00:48:33.960 be good for

00:48:34.460 you, and

00:48:35.700 that leadership

00:48:36.280 wouldn't matter

00:48:36.980 in the

00:48:37.340 pandemic, except

00:48:39.160 the one

00:48:39.520 example of

00:48:40.100 and there's

00:48:41.180 also indication

00:48:41.860 that maybe

00:48:42.340 even warp

00:48:42.980 speed would

00:48:43.440 have happened

00:48:43.800 anyway.

00:48:45.360 Maybe.

00:48:46.260 Like anybody

00:48:46.980 would have

00:48:47.300 done it if

00:48:47.700 they had

00:48:47.940 been president.

00:48:48.820 We don't

00:48:49.300 know that to

00:48:49.720 be true, but

00:48:50.320 we do give

00:48:50.860 credit to the

00:48:51.680 person who

00:48:52.100 did it.

00:48:53.200 That's the

00:48:53.720 way it works.

00:48:54.500 So that

00:48:54.740 was Trump.

00:48:57.340 All right,

00:48:58.180 I have to

00:48:58.760 talk about

00:48:59.180 Whoopi

00:48:59.460 Goldberg.

00:49:02.040 So if

00:49:02.760 you're not

00:49:03.100 up to date

00:49:03.620 on this,

00:49:05.160 Whoopi was

00:49:05.620 talking about

00:49:06.000 the Holocaust

00:49:06.380 and said

00:49:07.940 something like

00:49:08.940 it wasn't

00:49:09.440 about race,

00:49:10.620 it was,

00:49:11.180 she said,

00:49:11.940 quote,

00:49:12.220 it's about

00:49:12.640 man's

00:49:13.100 inhumanity

00:49:13.860 to man.

00:49:14.580 That's what

00:49:14.980 it's about.

00:49:16.180 And she

00:49:17.100 argued, I

00:49:17.620 think, that

00:49:18.740 when Anna

00:49:22.560 Navarro said,

00:49:23.780 but it's

00:49:24.120 about white

00:49:24.720 supremacists

00:49:25.380 going after

00:49:25.960 Jews and

00:49:26.740 gypsies,

00:49:28.100 then Goldberg

00:49:29.100 attempted to

00:49:31.760 speak over

00:49:32.220 and said,

00:49:32.580 but these

00:49:32.900 are two

00:49:33.300 white groups

00:49:34.020 of people,

00:49:34.640 according to

00:49:35.480 Whoopi

00:49:35.840 Goldberg.

00:49:36.160 Well, she

00:49:38.420 apologized for

00:49:39.120 that because

00:49:39.680 people explained

00:49:41.280 to her that

00:49:41.980 during the

00:49:43.060 Holocaust,

00:49:43.680 certainly the

00:49:44.980 Nazis believed

00:49:46.080 that the Jews

00:49:47.140 were a

00:49:48.200 different race.

00:49:49.460 So we could

00:49:50.160 argue about

00:49:51.160 what race

00:49:52.140 means, but

00:49:53.520 I don't think

00:49:53.960 we could argue

00:49:54.560 that that's

00:49:55.540 the way

00:49:55.860 Germany was

00:49:57.920 interpreting it

00:49:58.700 at the time,

00:49:59.340 or at least

00:49:59.620 the Nazis.

00:50:00.120 And so

00:50:02.900 once Whoopi

00:50:04.020 was, you

00:50:05.560 know, got

00:50:06.600 this

00:50:06.840 clarification,

00:50:08.480 she issued

00:50:09.500 an apology,

00:50:10.940 which showed

00:50:11.760 that she

00:50:12.140 understood,

00:50:12.980 you know,

00:50:13.320 the impact

00:50:13.820 it had.

00:50:15.600 It, she

00:50:17.220 explained, you

00:50:18.080 know, that

00:50:18.320 she had become

00:50:19.080 better informed.

00:50:20.700 Sounds good.

00:50:21.800 And she

00:50:22.300 apologized in

00:50:23.100 a way that I

00:50:23.680 took as

00:50:24.740 sincere.

00:50:26.700 Would you

00:50:27.340 say that her

00:50:27.900 apology,

00:50:28.360 hit the

00:50:30.560 form, and

00:50:31.420 was timely?

00:50:33.140 You know, I

00:50:33.460 have the 48

00:50:34.120 hour rule that

00:50:35.520 says if you

00:50:36.000 apologize in

00:50:36.740 48 hours, you

00:50:38.360 should be

00:50:38.720 forgiven, no

00:50:39.540 exceptions.

00:50:40.700 If it's just

00:50:41.260 words, right?

00:50:42.540 You know, not

00:50:43.280 if you kill

00:50:43.700 somebody, but

00:50:44.740 if it's just

00:50:45.220 words, and

00:50:46.540 you correct and

00:50:47.300 clarify in 48

00:50:48.480 hours, forgiven.

00:50:51.140 So, according

00:50:52.420 to the 48

00:50:53.120 hour rule,

00:50:54.360 Whoopi is

00:50:55.100 forgiven.

00:50:56.020 But, according

00:50:56.800 to her

00:50:57.260 employer,

00:50:58.360 the biggest

00:50:58.920 bunch of

00:50:59.600 cowardly

00:51:00.060 assholes I've

00:51:01.680 heard of

00:51:01.980 lately, she

00:51:03.080 got suspended.

00:51:05.180 Now, you

00:51:07.800 can't be a

00:51:08.360 little bit

00:51:08.660 wrong in

00:51:09.480 America.

00:51:11.580 You can't

00:51:12.260 be wrong and

00:51:13.660 then correct

00:51:14.260 it and

00:51:15.000 apologize on

00:51:16.940 a fucking

00:51:17.920 opinion show.

00:51:19.560 Are you

00:51:20.440 kidding me?

00:51:22.440 She's an

00:51:23.640 opinion person

00:51:24.520 who gives

00:51:25.520 opinion on

00:51:26.300 an opinion

00:51:26.720 show.

00:51:27.180 She gives

00:51:28.200 an opinion

00:51:28.720 on an

00:51:29.120 opinion

00:51:29.380 show that

00:51:29.880 disagrees with

00:51:30.560 some other

00:51:30.940 opinions,

00:51:32.500 changes her

00:51:34.300 opinion on

00:51:35.060 the opinion

00:51:35.520 show,

00:51:37.800 clarifies and

00:51:38.860 apologizes

00:51:39.660 sincerely and

00:51:40.580 correctly.

00:51:41.480 I mean, hit

00:51:42.020 forum, nice

00:51:42.840 forum, and

00:51:44.800 she gets

00:51:45.220 fucking suspended.

00:51:47.000 You cowardly

00:51:48.040 pieces of

00:51:48.700 shit.

00:51:49.820 Talk about

00:51:50.580 blowing a

00:51:51.640 public relations

00:51:52.540 opportunity.

00:51:53.140 Do you know

00:51:54.020 how this

00:51:54.420 could have

00:51:54.700 worked?

00:51:55.800 This is how

00:51:56.540 this should

00:51:57.020 have worked.

00:51:58.360 We all

00:51:59.120 learned something

00:51:59.800 about the

00:52:00.300 Holocaust.

00:52:02.660 This was the

00:52:03.660 opposite of a

00:52:04.480 negative anything.

00:52:06.800 Everything about

00:52:07.620 this was positive

00:52:08.560 until they

00:52:10.720 suspended the

00:52:12.160 person who

00:52:12.680 caused the

00:52:13.220 positive thing

00:52:13.880 to happen.

00:52:15.340 Do you know

00:52:15.920 why people have

00:52:16.620 different opinions

00:52:17.300 and then talk

00:52:17.880 about it on

00:52:18.360 TV?

00:52:19.640 It's so you

00:52:20.440 can get

00:52:20.820 smarter.

00:52:22.480 That's the

00:52:23.060 whole fucking

00:52:23.920 point.

00:52:25.200 And what

00:52:25.480 happened?

00:52:26.180 She had an

00:52:26.580 opinion, other

00:52:27.280 people had an

00:52:27.740 opinion, she

00:52:28.580 revised her

00:52:29.160 opinion, and

00:52:29.980 you got

00:52:30.400 smarter.

00:52:31.960 I mean, I'm

00:52:32.600 not sure that

00:52:33.120 I'd ever

00:52:33.480 thought about

00:52:34.020 that specific

00:52:35.480 question, but

00:52:36.700 that filled in

00:52:37.420 a little context

00:52:38.960 for me.

00:52:39.540 Oh, yeah.

00:52:40.280 Of course, they

00:52:40.940 would have called

00:52:41.780 it race back

00:52:42.480 then, but, you

00:52:43.720 know, maybe our

00:52:44.620 definitions of race

00:52:45.600 have changed or

00:52:46.260 whatever.

00:52:46.500 This is the

00:52:49.680 most horrifyingly

00:52:50.900 incompetent response

00:52:53.820 I've ever seen

00:52:54.620 from a corporation.

00:52:56.080 I mean, just

00:52:56.480 who?

00:52:57.520 Compare this to

00:52:58.440 Joe Rogan's

00:52:59.320 response to his

00:53:00.960 controversy.

00:53:02.040 You know, I

00:53:02.260 gave Joe Rogan

00:53:03.040 an A+, literally

00:53:04.840 Steve Jobs-level

00:53:06.440 comparison.

00:53:07.740 You don't get

00:53:08.340 any better than

00:53:09.000 that.

00:53:09.760 You know, that's

00:53:10.280 the standard of

00:53:11.080 how to do it.

00:53:12.420 And then ABC

00:53:13.300 News' PR department

00:53:14.600 tweets out this

00:53:15.380 horse shit.

00:53:16.500 about somebody

00:53:17.700 who clearly

00:53:18.500 is not a

00:53:19.300 racist.

00:53:21.040 I mean, I

00:53:21.980 mean, come

00:53:22.360 on.

00:53:25.300 You know,

00:53:25.980 Whoopi Goldberg?

00:53:28.500 She's suspended

00:53:29.600 for being a

00:53:31.160 racist?

00:53:31.880 Or saying

00:53:32.580 something that

00:53:33.140 I guess was

00:53:33.640 insensitively,

00:53:35.180 accidentally racist

00:53:36.460 or something?

00:53:38.720 ABC News,

00:53:39.980 you are so

00:53:41.280 incompetent.

00:53:43.280 Really, the

00:53:43.880 entire, whoever

00:53:44.740 came up with

00:53:45.320 this idea of how

00:53:46.100 to deal with,

00:53:46.520 they should all

00:53:47.040 be fired.

00:53:48.760 I can't believe

00:53:49.600 that there's a

00:53:50.180 CEO who

00:53:50.820 looked at

00:53:51.220 this.

00:53:53.100 I wonder if

00:53:53.780 the CEO was

00:53:54.480 even involved.

00:53:57.280 Let me give

00:53:57.940 you a hypothesis.

00:54:00.040 I'm going to

00:54:00.600 give you a

00:54:01.080 very weird

00:54:02.420 hypothesis.

00:54:04.020 I don't think

00:54:04.760 the CEO was

00:54:05.540 involved.

00:54:07.020 And I think

00:54:07.680 he might

00:54:07.960 reverse it.

00:54:09.180 Who's the

00:54:09.580 CEO now?

00:54:10.920 Who's the

00:54:11.400 CEO of

00:54:12.140 Disney?

00:54:14.920 Didn't that

00:54:15.500 just change

00:54:16.100 recently, right?

00:54:17.520 Who's the

00:54:17.940 CEO of

00:54:18.440 Disney?

00:54:21.860 Come on,

00:54:22.560 somebody's

00:54:22.840 going to tell

00:54:23.140 me.

00:54:25.420 Chappick?

00:54:29.760 Bob, is it

00:54:30.700 Shappick or

00:54:31.760 Chappick?

00:54:32.200 Well, here's

00:54:33.540 the thing.

00:54:34.980 This is what,

00:54:36.980 in my opinion,

00:54:39.080 on my opinion

00:54:39.920 live stream,

00:54:41.440 the CEO probably

00:54:42.600 didn't see this.

00:54:44.580 I think he

00:54:45.240 didn't see it.

00:54:46.420 And here's why I

00:54:47.220 think he didn't

00:54:47.880 see it.

00:54:49.080 You don't become

00:54:50.160 the CEO of

00:54:50.860 Disney by being

00:54:51.520 a fucking

00:54:51.900 idiot.

00:54:52.220 And this decision

00:54:54.500 is fucking

00:54:55.140 idiot territory.

00:54:57.260 This is what

00:54:57.940 somebody who

00:54:59.020 learned public

00:55:00.080 relations does.

00:55:02.040 This isn't

00:55:02.660 CEO.

00:55:03.240 This is not

00:55:04.200 CEO level

00:55:06.100 thinking.

00:55:07.860 How many

00:55:08.500 people would

00:55:08.920 agree with

00:55:09.300 me?

00:55:10.160 This looks

00:55:10.580 like, yeah,

00:55:11.020 this looks

00:55:11.360 like human

00:55:11.780 resources,

00:55:12.440 doesn't it?

00:55:14.760 Am I right?

00:55:15.900 I mean,

00:55:16.360 maybe the

00:55:17.000 CEO got

00:55:17.720 pushed into

00:55:18.580 it somehow,

00:55:20.220 but no.

00:55:22.000 There's no

00:55:22.560 way that,

00:55:23.820 this is my

00:55:24.880 prediction,

00:55:25.420 my new

00:55:25.760 prediction.

00:55:26.300 The CEO

00:55:27.320 did not

00:55:28.080 have a,

00:55:30.500 let's say,

00:55:31.160 a strong

00:55:32.140 input on

00:55:32.660 the decision.

00:55:34.060 Something else

00:55:34.660 is going on.

00:55:35.640 All right.

00:55:37.360 Let's talk

00:55:38.040 about long

00:55:39.640 COVID risk.

00:55:40.800 So there's

00:55:41.140 a story in

00:55:41.520 the Wall Street

00:55:41.840 Journal,

00:55:42.880 and it

00:55:43.420 starts out

00:55:43.960 by saying

00:55:44.460 that asthma,

00:55:47.820 unhealthy gut

00:55:48.520 bacteria,

00:55:49.400 the presence

00:55:49.780 of auto

00:55:50.340 antibodies,

00:55:51.360 blah, blah,

00:55:51.700 and some

00:55:52.420 other things

00:55:52.880 can predict

00:55:53.460 whether you'll

00:55:53.940 have this

00:55:54.300 thing called

00:55:54.740 long COVID.

00:55:55.280 And then

00:55:56.680 in the

00:55:57.040 body of

00:55:57.400 the story,

00:55:58.380 there's a

00:55:59.320 completely

00:55:59.640 different story.

00:56:00.920 So if

00:56:01.940 anybody works

00:56:02.580 for the

00:56:02.920 Wall Street

00:56:03.300 Journal,

00:56:04.640 I don't

00:56:06.040 know if I

00:56:06.400 missed it,

00:56:07.580 but the

00:56:07.940 headline said

00:56:08.580 the asthma

00:56:09.120 was one of

00:56:09.740 the four

00:56:10.080 things,

00:56:10.560 and then

00:56:10.780 the story

00:56:11.200 doesn't.

00:56:11.740 so I

00:56:14.700 think you've

00:56:15.020 got a

00:56:15.360 headline

00:56:15.760 story

00:56:16.440 mismatch,

00:56:17.860 or I'm

00:56:19.360 a bad

00:56:19.720 reader.

00:56:20.380 I wasn't

00:56:20.740 in a

00:56:20.880 hurry.

00:56:22.780 Yeah.

00:56:23.640 But given

00:56:25.520 that I have

00:56:26.080 asthma,

00:56:26.580 I would

00:56:26.920 like to

00:56:27.260 know if

00:56:28.700 I have a

00:56:29.800 risk of

00:56:30.240 a long

00:56:30.660 COVID.

00:56:31.400 But according

00:56:32.100 to the body

00:56:32.640 of it,

00:56:32.920 it's all

00:56:33.180 these other

00:56:33.560 things.

00:56:34.220 One of

00:56:34.580 them is

00:56:34.920 that you

00:56:35.280 might reactivate

00:56:36.240 your Epstein

00:56:36.800 bar so

00:56:37.840 that your

00:56:38.260 long COVID

00:56:39.280 is actually

00:56:39.760 the Epstein

00:56:40.280 bar kicking

00:56:41.160 the shit

00:56:41.460 out of

00:56:41.740 you.

00:56:43.400 Maybe some

00:56:44.160 people have

00:56:44.540 Addison's

00:56:45.100 disease.

00:56:47.080 Some people

00:56:47.820 have some

00:56:48.160 kind of

00:56:48.460 autoimmune

00:56:49.060 condition that

00:56:49.880 isn't so

00:56:50.460 bad normally,

00:56:51.720 but it gets

00:56:52.200 pushed over

00:56:52.920 the edge.

00:56:55.480 Somebody

00:56:55.960 said yes.

00:56:58.380 Anyway.

00:57:04.240 That,

00:57:05.340 ladies and

00:57:06.060 gentlemen,

00:57:06.800 is all I

00:57:07.320 have to say

00:57:07.720 today.

00:57:09.760 question is,

00:57:15.680 Scott,

00:57:15.960 can we

00:57:16.300 reframe

00:57:16.880 critical race

00:57:17.640 theory as

00:57:18.160 a religion?

00:57:19.500 No.

00:57:20.700 That never

00:57:21.420 works.

00:57:22.580 People have

00:57:23.180 been trying

00:57:23.480 to do that

00:57:23.920 reframe

00:57:24.440 forever.

00:57:25.640 Science,

00:57:26.260 it's just

00:57:26.680 a religion.

00:57:28.820 It makes

00:57:29.440 a good bumper

00:57:29.940 sticker and

00:57:30.460 stuff,

00:57:30.720 but nobody's

00:57:31.140 ever been

00:57:31.580 persuaded by

00:57:32.340 it.

00:57:32.660 Because I

00:57:32.940 think people

00:57:33.280 just know

00:57:33.720 what a

00:57:33.960 religion is

00:57:34.600 and what

00:57:34.900 it's not,

00:57:36.060 and they're

00:57:38.360 not going to

00:57:38.760 change their

00:57:39.200 minds on

00:57:39.520 that.

00:57:42.180 And plus

00:57:43.500 people have

00:57:44.000 a positive

00:57:44.680 view of

00:57:45.160 religion.

00:57:47.020 So when

00:57:47.980 I say

00:57:48.340 alcohol is

00:57:49.180 poison,

00:57:50.380 that's a

00:57:51.160 good reframe

00:57:51.880 because nobody

00:57:53.980 likes poison.

00:57:55.360 But people

00:57:56.180 do like

00:57:56.620 religion.

00:57:58.080 So if you

00:57:58.520 say, oh,

00:57:59.080 critical race

00:57:59.660 theory, that's

00:58:00.360 like a

00:58:00.660 religion,

00:58:01.900 people are

00:58:02.360 like, oh,

00:58:03.000 I didn't

00:58:03.260 realize it

00:58:03.660 was that

00:58:03.920 good.

00:58:04.160 I don't

00:58:04.260 get a

00:58:13.460 micro lesson

00:58:14.040 on getting

00:58:14.460 past security.

00:58:17.240 Well, look

00:58:18.120 like me, I

00:58:18.720 guess.

00:58:20.140 Be an old

00:58:20.920 bald guy with

00:58:21.860 glasses, that

00:58:22.540 helps.

00:58:27.440 Is it a

00:58:28.160 good strategy

00:58:28.760 to back what

00:58:29.480 the left

00:58:29.940 hates the

00:58:30.520 most, like

00:58:31.680 Trump?

00:58:32.740 Probably not.

00:58:38.080 Based on

00:58:38.640 our comments,

00:58:39.420 oh, here's

00:58:39.980 an interesting

00:58:40.420 comment.

00:58:41.580 So Michael

00:58:42.060 says, based

00:58:42.740 on our

00:58:43.080 comments, I

00:58:43.680 think Whoopi

00:58:44.180 Goldberg isn't

00:58:44.980 particularly fond

00:58:45.860 of Jews.

00:58:49.460 I feel as

00:58:50.320 though that's

00:58:50.760 a little

00:58:51.000 mind reader-ish.

00:58:52.040 I mean, if

00:58:54.580 you accuse a

00:58:56.420 public figure of

00:58:57.420 not being fond

00:58:58.200 of Jews, you

00:58:59.580 better bring a

00:59:00.340 link.

00:59:01.660 You better

00:59:02.420 bring a

00:59:02.880 link.

00:59:03.460 I take that

00:59:04.280 a little bit

00:59:04.680 personally,

00:59:05.860 honestly, because

00:59:07.380 that's some shit

00:59:08.240 that happens to

00:59:08.820 me.

00:59:09.500 Just people

00:59:09.960 throw out some

00:59:10.840 wild accusation

00:59:12.360 and then somebody

00:59:13.480 sees it in the

00:59:14.160 comments and

00:59:14.800 that's all they've

00:59:15.340 ever seen on the

00:59:16.060 topic.

00:59:17.960 You better bring

00:59:19.020 a link if you

00:59:19.740 have an accusation

00:59:20.540 like that, because

00:59:21.760 we don't live in

00:59:22.380 a world where

00:59:22.860 that's safe to

00:59:23.540 do.

00:59:24.340 You're actually

00:59:24.940 creating an

00:59:26.380 unsafe environment

00:59:27.340 for a public

00:59:28.840 figure when you

00:59:29.720 do that kind of

00:59:30.280 stuff.

00:59:31.920 I'm in favor of

00:59:32.840 free speech, so

00:59:34.260 I'm not saying you

00:59:34.980 need to get banned

00:59:35.740 for saying what

00:59:36.400 you're saying.

00:59:36.920 That's a different

00:59:37.480 kind of conversation.

00:59:38.840 I'm saying as a

00:59:40.020 point of personal

00:59:41.920 responsibility, don't

00:59:43.960 put that shit out

00:59:44.760 there, unless you

00:59:46.100 can back it up.

00:59:46.960 If you can back

00:59:47.520 it up, then

00:59:48.480 please do.

00:59:49.580 Because, you

00:59:50.180 know,

00:59:50.540 that would be

00:59:50.980 worth seeing.

00:59:56.360 Would mushrooms

00:59:57.280 help someone with

00:59:58.480 addiction?

00:59:59.900 I'm going to tell

01:00:00.680 you to Google

01:00:01.320 that, because I

01:00:03.400 don't like to

01:00:03.980 delve into anything

01:00:05.500 that would look

01:00:06.060 like a medical

01:00:07.080 recommendation.

01:00:08.120 So I never

01:00:08.840 recommend, you

01:00:10.000 know, marijuana

01:00:10.460 or mushrooms.

01:00:11.820 I might tell you

01:00:12.740 if I've had an

01:00:13.480 experience with

01:00:14.120 them, but I

01:00:14.940 wouldn't recommend

01:00:15.680 them.

01:00:17.060 You know, that's

01:00:18.480 a medical thing,

01:00:19.300 and why would I

01:00:20.140 do that?

01:00:23.820 All right.

01:00:30.960 Looking at some

01:00:31.640 of your comments

01:00:32.180 now.

01:00:35.620 Steven Spielberg

01:00:36.740 launched Whoopi's

01:00:37.920 career.

01:00:38.200 Oh, why is

01:00:40.940 Whoopi clearly

01:00:41.660 not a racist?

01:00:42.580 Well, I'm just

01:00:43.100 saying that she

01:00:44.000 wouldn't be on the

01:00:44.680 view if she were.

01:00:46.720 Would you agree

01:00:47.280 with that?

01:00:48.080 When I say it's

01:00:48.940 clear that Whoopi

01:00:49.820 is not a racist,

01:00:51.560 I mean in the

01:00:52.620 classic sense.

01:00:55.020 Not in the,

01:00:56.400 let's say,

01:00:57.380 expanded sense

01:00:58.520 that you could

01:01:01.060 be racist

01:01:01.740 against white

01:01:02.560 people.

01:01:03.460 Not in that

01:01:04.220 sense.

01:01:04.960 I don't have an

01:01:05.560 opinion on that,

01:01:06.280 because I don't

01:01:06.620 know what she

01:01:06.980 said about that.

01:01:07.600 But in the

01:01:09.140 sense that the

01:01:10.480 mainstream would

01:01:11.380 consider her

01:01:12.120 classically, you

01:01:14.340 know, non-racist, I

01:01:17.260 think she fits that

01:01:17.960 category perfectly.

01:01:22.440 Yeah, and what are

01:01:23.280 the chances her last

01:01:24.740 name would be

01:01:25.220 Goldberg?

01:01:26.380 It's like the

01:01:26.900 simulation is just

01:01:27.880 serving up this

01:01:30.060 perfect thing.

01:01:30.680 You know, and

01:01:33.420 this is another

01:01:34.260 case of people

01:01:34.960 being offended on

01:01:35.900 behalf of other

01:01:36.600 people.

01:01:38.740 So we've gone

01:01:39.880 through this

01:01:40.280 entire Whoopi

01:01:41.160 Goldberg story,

01:01:43.140 but was there

01:01:43.960 anybody who was

01:01:44.700 actually offended,

01:01:45.560 or were we all

01:01:46.340 worried that somebody

01:01:47.120 else would be

01:01:47.660 offended?

01:01:49.000 Was that the

01:01:49.560 worry?

01:01:51.620 That somebody

01:01:52.120 else would be

01:01:52.620 offended?

01:01:53.240 Because usually

01:01:54.040 most offense is

01:01:55.880 third-party offense,

01:01:57.060 right?

01:01:57.560 I am pretty sure

01:01:58.820 that somebody I

01:01:59.680 don't know,

01:02:00.220 who doesn't have

01:02:01.220 quite the sense

01:02:01.900 of humor that I

01:02:02.620 do, somebody with

01:02:03.940 a thin skin, not

01:02:05.340 like me, I've got

01:02:06.640 a thick skin,

01:02:08.220 criticism rolls off

01:02:09.460 my back, but let

01:02:10.520 me protect those

01:02:12.260 weak people back

01:02:13.380 there, right?

01:02:15.140 There's nobody

01:02:15.900 behind me?

01:02:16.640 Well, I'm sure

01:02:17.720 there was somebody

01:02:18.460 back there the

01:02:19.580 moment before, and

01:02:20.840 that person was

01:02:21.620 deeply offended by

01:02:22.620 that horrible thing

01:02:23.380 you did, not

01:02:24.440 somebody like me

01:02:25.280 who has a sense

01:02:25.940 of humor and a

01:02:26.600 thick skin.

01:02:30.220 All right, I'm

01:02:32.980 going to see a

01:02:33.360 counter to that.

01:02:36.320 So Cole says,

01:02:37.160 no, plenty of

01:02:37.820 Jewish people were

01:02:39.240 offended.

01:02:40.700 Deborah Messing was

01:02:41.560 pretty explicit.

01:02:44.020 I'll bet if you

01:02:46.540 read, so there was

01:02:47.920 a specific

01:02:48.460 counter example,

01:02:50.320 Deborah Messing.

01:02:51.400 I'll bet if I read

01:02:52.520 her comment, it

01:02:55.140 wouldn't strike me

01:02:56.280 that way.

01:02:56.680 But, send it to

01:02:59.660 me.

01:03:05.420 Yeah, and I, this

01:03:07.760 is also a special

01:03:08.680 case, right?

01:03:10.840 Because where the

01:03:12.100 Holocaust is

01:03:12.940 involved, there's

01:03:14.760 not only were you

01:03:15.780 personally offended,

01:03:17.520 but does it make

01:03:19.620 you feel, let's say,

01:03:20.640 more vulnerable if

01:03:22.920 the Holocaust

01:03:23.540 narrative is

01:03:24.880 attacked?

01:03:25.460 So I feel like

01:03:27.100 there's a

01:03:27.780 complication there

01:03:28.700 that would be

01:03:30.120 different from

01:03:31.000 saying somebody

01:03:31.680 was actually

01:03:32.180 offended.

01:03:33.300 Somebody might

01:03:34.000 have, let's say,

01:03:35.200 their safety

01:03:36.280 offended.

01:03:37.620 I guess that

01:03:38.040 would be another

01:03:38.460 way to say it.

01:03:39.500 She might feel

01:03:40.300 that her sense

01:03:41.980 of security as

01:03:44.400 a Jewish person

01:03:45.520 in the world

01:03:46.000 might be offended

01:03:46.700 by it, you

01:03:47.840 know, any

01:03:48.960 little attack on

01:03:51.380 it.

01:03:51.520 Yeah.

01:03:55.460 Ben Shapiro

01:03:56.420 appear pretty

01:03:57.360 offended.

01:03:58.480 But again,

01:04:00.080 but again,

01:04:01.800 I will bet if

01:04:02.800 you asked him

01:04:04.140 privately, I can't

01:04:04.980 read his mind,

01:04:05.620 right?

01:04:05.860 So let me have

01:04:07.080 some humility

01:04:07.760 about being able

01:04:09.100 to read the mind

01:04:09.780 of somebody who's

01:04:10.360 smarter than I am.

01:04:12.520 That's always the

01:04:13.320 worst thing.

01:04:14.600 At least with Ben

01:04:15.440 Shapiro, I can

01:04:16.160 somewhat confidently

01:04:17.200 say he's smarter

01:04:18.000 than I am.

01:04:19.000 So trying to read

01:04:19.700 the mind of

01:04:20.280 somebody, or

01:04:20.800 like understand

01:04:21.620 exactly what

01:04:23.180 they're thinking

01:04:23.700 in their private

01:04:24.280 thoughts, if I

01:04:25.880 could think what

01:04:26.440 he was thinking

01:04:27.060 in my private,

01:04:28.400 if I knew what

01:04:29.260 Ben Shapiro was

01:04:30.500 thinking, I would

01:04:32.020 be as smart as

01:04:32.680 Ben Shapiro.

01:04:35.360 But I'm pretty

01:04:36.120 sure I'm not.

01:04:38.840 So, but I'll

01:04:40.640 bet, here's my

01:04:42.800 bet, that it's

01:04:44.760 not so much that

01:04:45.460 he was personally

01:04:46.380 offended in some

01:04:48.380 way that, you

01:04:49.080 know, his body

01:04:49.980 was having some

01:04:51.160 stress.

01:04:52.100 I feel like it

01:04:52.920 was more like

01:04:53.620 the, you

01:04:54.980 know, more of

01:04:55.420 a philosophical

01:04:56.160 point that

01:04:56.960 maybe he had

01:04:57.640 some energy

01:04:58.080 about, but

01:04:58.960 that's just a

01:04:59.460 guess.

01:05:00.460 You know, I

01:05:01.180 probably shouldn't

01:05:01.700 even try to, you

01:05:03.760 should erase that.

01:05:04.780 I shouldn't try to

01:05:05.620 characterize anybody's

01:05:06.740 probable opinion.

01:05:08.140 That's, that's

01:05:10.060 somewhat unfair

01:05:11.120 territory.

01:05:13.260 But I guess that

01:05:14.680 what I think of

01:05:15.700 Ben Shapiro is

01:05:17.240 that his, his

01:05:19.800 personal ability to

01:05:21.420 be offended must be

01:05:22.400 pretty high.

01:05:23.620 because you can't,

01:05:24.180 you can't do this

01:05:24.960 kind of work if

01:05:26.440 you're easily

01:05:26.880 offended.

01:05:27.620 So it's hard to

01:05:28.680 imagine anybody

01:05:29.440 doing this who's

01:05:31.580 really ever

01:05:32.420 offended.

01:05:32.980 I don't know if

01:05:33.480 I've ever been

01:05:34.020 offended.

01:05:35.660 I can't think of

01:05:36.520 an example.

01:05:38.040 Have I ever said

01:05:38.680 I've ever been

01:05:39.340 offended by anything?

01:05:41.060 Is that, have I

01:05:41.720 ever used that word

01:05:42.580 in talking about

01:05:43.620 myself?

01:05:45.280 I may have just

01:05:46.360 like, and of

01:05:47.200 hyperbole, but not

01:05:48.360 really.

01:05:48.820 I'm sure I did.

01:05:52.340 Oh, on this

01:05:53.100 podcast?

01:05:54.640 Did I say it on

01:05:55.560 this podcast?

01:05:56.800 That would be

01:05:57.460 funny if I did.

01:06:01.220 That would be

01:06:02.060 funny.

01:06:03.100 All right.

01:06:05.880 Yeah, maybe

01:06:06.640 somebody is using

01:06:07.880 hyperbole sometimes.

01:06:10.880 All right, that's

01:06:11.360 all I have for

01:06:11.780 today.

01:06:12.080 And I'm going

01:06:13.980 to talk to you

01:06:15.880 tomorrow.

01:06:16.640 Thank you.
