Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1808 Scott Adams： Apparently, Government Officials Lied To Us About Everything. Surprised？

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization.

00:00:08.860 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:10.780 You could probably guess why it's called that, and you'd be right.

00:00:15.100 And that would be yet another victory for your intelligence.

00:00:19.060 And if you'd like to, take it up a notch.

00:00:21.860 Who wants to take it up a notch?

00:00:23.260 Yes, you do.

00:00:24.180 All you do is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice,

00:00:26.360 and a canteen jug or a glass, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:30.480 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:33.160 I like coffee.

00:00:34.960 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:00:37.680 It's the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:40.640 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:42.880 Happens now. Go.

00:00:47.580 Well, I think what we're going to do,

00:00:49.780 I'm starting to settle on a Coffee with Scott Adams mug theme.

00:00:54.980 But here's the first thing I've decided.

00:00:57.980 There's going to be two sides.

00:01:00.140 There's going to be Coffee with Scott Adams on one side,

00:01:02.800 and Man Cave with Scott Adams on the other.

00:01:07.900 Now, it might be the simultaneous sip versus the simultaneous rip,

00:01:12.620 but that might be too insider.

00:01:14.160 I don't know.

00:01:14.960 It's going to be one of those things.

00:01:16.880 But we're doing a group designing concept here.

00:01:21.080 People are sending me ideas.

00:01:22.280 And so far, I'm kind of liking that one.

00:01:28.460 Well, let's check in on Scott's big predictions

00:01:32.060 that people said, that's crazy.

00:01:34.760 And one of them is that people would start reducing

00:01:37.000 the business that they do in China.

00:01:40.480 Do you know why?

00:01:41.900 What is the phrase that I was saying, oh, three years ago?

00:01:47.280 Do you remember a persuasion phrase that I was using about China?

00:01:53.100 Let's see if anybody uses it.

00:01:55.580 Too risky.

00:01:57.180 Too risky.

00:01:57.880 A decouple is something everybody used.

00:02:00.080 But I said China is too risky for business.

00:02:04.720 And everybody laughed.

00:02:06.820 And people said, Scott, people are doing business with China like crazy.

00:02:12.220 And there's just going to be more of it.

00:02:14.460 Scott, there's just going to be more of it.

00:02:17.560 If there's one thing I can tell you, Scott, your prediction is pretty dumb

00:02:21.080 because people are going to be trusting China.

00:02:24.120 They're just going to...

00:02:25.520 Well, Bloomberg reports today.

00:02:27.880 And remember, Bloomberg does business in China.

00:02:30.980 So Bloomberg does have an incentive to say nice things about China.

00:02:34.960 Am I right?

00:02:36.840 Do you all agree with that?

00:02:38.740 That Bloomberg does business in China.

00:02:40.560 And so they're reporting, you would think maybe there's a little influence there

00:02:45.700 to say good things about China.

00:02:49.300 But apparently they did not hold back on this article.

00:02:53.700 So congratulations for Bloomberg for doing reporting

00:02:57.720 that counters what looks like their own corporate interests are.

00:03:01.860 Should we call that out?

00:03:04.000 Right?

00:03:04.540 I'm always criticizing people for being in the tank for one side or not.

00:03:08.880 But let's call that out.

00:03:10.520 That's worthy of our respect.

00:03:13.780 What Bloomberg says is that investors are shying away from China

00:03:18.400 because of President Xi's own internal policies,

00:03:22.760 which is a pretty direct criticism, isn't it?

00:03:26.360 They're actually criticizing Xi by name.

00:03:30.020 And that's Bloomberg.

00:03:30.780 So how many of you thought, when I was saying that China is too risky for business,

00:03:37.580 how many of you thought that that was going to play out?

00:03:41.240 Did you think that a couple years later it would be common knowledge

00:03:44.440 that China is too risky for business?

00:03:47.560 How many of you thought that that was going to happen?

00:03:49.900 Seriously.

00:03:51.200 Did you really think that the battleship was going to change in two years?

00:03:55.200 Like somehow it was going to reverse course?

00:03:56.940 Well, you have much faith.

00:04:00.720 You have a lot of faith.

00:04:03.060 Now here's a question you must ask.

00:04:05.920 Do I coincidentally keep guessing right,

00:04:08.860 or am I causing things to happen?

00:04:12.320 What do you think?

00:04:15.320 Because that was a pretty weird guess, wasn't it?

00:04:18.640 Do you think anybody could have guessed that in two years,

00:04:21.460 I don't know, 50 years of direct line progress would reverse?

00:04:28.360 That was a pretty gutsy call, wouldn't you say?

00:04:32.340 Some people think I caused it.

00:04:35.040 Some people say it just happened.

00:04:36.960 I mean, probably the pandemic would have happened either way, right?

00:04:39.980 So maybe it was just the pandemic.

00:04:42.140 It had nothing to do with me.

00:04:43.800 But isn't that the weirdest guess, though?

00:04:46.200 Does it seem weird to you that even if I had nothing to do with it,

00:04:51.620 which is a reasonable assumption,

00:04:53.240 it's reasonable to assume I had nothing to do with it, right?

00:04:56.560 So for those of you who are looking to check my ego,

00:05:01.000 let me say as clearly as possible,

00:05:02.760 I don't see any evidence that I had anything to do with it.

00:05:08.580 But what a weird prediction it would be, right?

00:05:11.560 That's a weird one.

00:05:13.100 And it's true. 0.56

00:05:14.060 It came true. 0.65

00:05:14.560 All right.

00:05:17.060 How many of you remember that when Trump first announced

00:05:23.060 that they were going to do the big push for vaccinations,

00:05:26.480 how many remember that I predicted that the vaccinations would not work?

00:05:32.000 How many remember that?

00:05:34.660 Do you remember that?

00:05:38.660 And do you remember the reason I predicted it?

00:05:41.220 It was because all the people who were knowledgeable about the field said,

00:05:45.940 we've been trying to do this for decades.

00:05:47.760 Why do you think you're going to do it in a year?

00:05:49.880 And they were all right.

00:05:52.100 They were all right.

00:05:53.700 Because that sounded like a pretty good reason to me.

00:05:56.560 Well, you've been trying for decades.

00:05:58.260 Wouldn't that be a weird coincidence if this is exactly the time you got it right?

00:06:03.040 Right?

00:06:03.660 Didn't that seem like a weird coincidence?

00:06:05.260 We've been trying for decades, but exactly when we need it, that's when we figured it out.

00:06:12.440 Because that's not really the, you know, the Adam's Law of slow-moving disasters.

00:06:15.840 This was a fast disaster.

00:06:17.680 This disaster snuck up on us, sort of.

00:06:20.120 I mean, Bill Gates warned us.

00:06:22.280 But, I don't know.

00:06:25.080 Now, I have to admit that when the data came out,

00:06:31.060 and it all seemed to indicate that it was preventing people from getting the infection,

00:06:35.720 I actually believed that.

00:06:38.500 I actually believed it.

00:06:40.380 Do you know who didn't believe it?

00:06:42.040 Who did not believe the official stand of the administration and all of our scientists?

00:06:51.360 Not just our scientists in the United States.

00:06:54.280 And this is very instructive.

00:06:56.440 Not just our scientists in the United States.

00:06:59.460 But pretty much, I think, all the scientists in all the industrial countries

00:07:03.620 told us that vaccinations would prevent you from getting reinfected.

00:07:08.800 It turns out that Dr. Birx knew that wasn't true.

00:07:13.960 All along.

00:07:15.600 Because she said they knew that people were getting reinfected

00:07:18.680 even when they had natural immunity.

00:07:21.440 And she said, since the vaccination mimics natural immunity,

00:07:25.580 why would we think that the vaccination would do better than the natural immunity?

00:07:29.940 To which I say, you fucking cunt. 1.00

00:07:33.640 You didn't tell us that?

00:07:35.440 You fucking cunt. 0.87

00:07:37.000 I'm sorry.

00:07:38.760 You can demonetize the piss out of me here on YouTube.

00:07:43.360 We don't have to take that.

00:07:46.020 You goddamn fucking cunt. 0.99

00:07:49.420 You knew that?

00:07:51.220 And you didn't say that?

00:07:52.640 What kind of a public health professional are you?

00:07:56.820 You piece of shit.

00:07:59.080 You fuck the country like we've never been fucked.

00:08:03.260 You ridiculous piece of shit.

00:08:05.020 Do you know what else Dr. Birx believed was true?

00:08:09.620 The drinking bleach hoax.

00:08:13.140 She actually said she believed that.

00:08:15.440 She was on the stage when it didn't happen.

00:08:19.580 She was present when the hoax literally didn't happen

00:08:24.200 and still believed it happened.

00:08:27.500 What a fucking idiot was in charge of our operation.

00:08:32.280 Now, her own book admits that she fudged the data

00:08:35.200 because they didn't have good data

00:08:36.280 and that they literally lied to the government

00:08:39.420 and the administration

00:08:42.000 and lied to the public

00:08:43.820 and said that they did it for her own good.

00:08:47.900 Maybe.

00:08:49.300 Maybe.

00:08:50.020 I don't have any reason to believe

00:08:51.420 that she didn't think it was for her own good.

00:08:55.040 But I don't know that that forgives it.

00:08:57.380 Do you?

00:08:58.020 I don't know that that forgives it.

00:09:00.560 This is a serious crime against the republic,

00:09:03.320 not necessarily legally.

00:09:04.840 I don't know about that.

00:09:05.680 But in terms of an offense against the republic,

00:09:09.540 I don't know if we've seen a bigger one.

00:09:11.820 I don't think there's any crime involved.

00:09:14.640 I think it's incompetence and bad judgment,

00:09:17.640 along with bad will, I think.

00:09:21.020 I mean, but that part would be speculation.

00:09:25.340 Now, to be fair,

00:09:29.920 Trump let this piece of shit work for him,

00:09:34.120 and that's on him.

00:09:35.680 Will you accept that?

00:09:39.560 Trump let her work there. 0.86

00:09:41.960 That's on him.

00:09:43.480 There's no way to shade that.

00:09:46.340 That's fucking on him.

00:09:48.220 All right?

00:09:49.860 So now we know that.

00:09:51.600 And we're coming close to finding out

00:09:54.320 that every bad, let's say,

00:09:58.820 worry that you had about what was really happening,

00:10:02.160 they were pretty close to what actually was happening.

00:10:04.460 Your worst suspicions were pretty close.

00:10:10.320 Amazing.

00:10:11.720 Amazing.

00:10:12.760 And you have to be a real piece of shit

00:10:14.900 to be in the middle of this

00:10:17.180 and then write a fucking book about it 0.87

00:10:18.860 and brag about it.

00:10:19.740 Am I banned from YouTube yet?

00:10:27.280 I'm trying to normalize that C word. 1.00

00:10:30.600 I think I can do it.

00:10:32.260 Well, let me ask you this.

00:10:33.780 Will I be accused of racism because I...

00:10:35.700 or not racism, sexism, because I used that word?

00:10:39.300 I would like to protect myself

00:10:41.120 from charges of sexism

00:10:44.200 for using that word about Dr. Birx.

00:10:48.140 And I'd like to tell you that Dr. Fauci,

00:10:53.360 he's a dick. 0.99

00:10:55.100 He's a dick.

00:10:57.160 So we have parity.

00:11:00.560 Right?

00:11:00.880 Fauci's a dick.

00:11:03.060 Birx is that other word.

00:11:06.860 We're equal, right?

00:11:08.200 Does anybody have a problem with that?

00:11:10.120 In the comments, do you have a problem with that?

00:11:11.780 Do you have a problem if I treat the genders equally?

00:11:16.780 Right?

00:11:17.640 No problem.

00:11:19.060 Okay.

00:11:19.780 We're both on the same page.

00:11:23.380 Good.

00:11:24.860 I don't know.

00:11:25.300 This is pretty offensive, this story.

00:11:27.280 And if I happen to be offensive in return,

00:11:31.400 it has as much to do with the way

00:11:33.260 she's dealing with it after the fact

00:11:34.920 as it does that what she did was unconscionable,

00:11:38.840 completely immoral and unethical

00:11:41.920 to the deepest level, in my opinion.

00:11:45.100 Now, it's also true,

00:11:46.480 this is where it gets complicated,

00:11:48.320 it's also true it might have been

00:11:49.980 the best thing for the country.

00:11:53.080 And I'm going to say that directly.

00:11:55.640 I feel like lying to the country,

00:11:58.920 maybe you should have left it to us.

00:12:01.620 Hold on.

00:12:02.700 Hold on.

00:12:03.260 Now, what she's accused of doing,

00:12:04.640 among other things,

00:12:06.560 is skewing the data,

00:12:08.040 but also lying about their intentions

00:12:10.600 for a two-week shutdown.

00:12:12.780 So she actually admits

00:12:14.080 that she never thought two weeks would be enough

00:12:16.140 and that it was a starting bid

00:12:18.220 to get the public a little bit pregnant 0.89

00:12:20.980 because if we bought off in the two weeks,

00:12:23.680 then maybe it was easier to extend it

00:12:25.440 than to start off with,

00:12:27.200 we're going to close things for six months.

00:12:29.360 Now, if she believed

00:12:31.800 that closing things for some longer period

00:12:34.540 than two weeks was essential

00:12:36.440 for our survival,

00:12:38.500 or was important anyway,

00:12:40.580 and she believed that was the only way

00:12:42.460 to get it done,

00:12:45.500 that has to be considered.

00:12:47.720 That has to be considered.

00:12:49.580 Because sometimes our public leaders

00:12:51.820 are asked to do things

00:12:53.000 that we're glad we don't have to do.

00:12:55.300 Sometimes they have to do some ugly things

00:12:58.640 and maybe they're going to take the hit for that

00:13:00.280 if they do it right.

00:13:01.660 So I'm not going to rule out,

00:13:03.600 I will not rule out,

00:13:05.120 that her intentions were correct.

00:13:08.100 Will you go that far with me?

00:13:10.020 There's no evidence

00:13:10.840 that she was working for China.

00:13:13.300 There's no evidence

00:13:14.040 that she was working for Russia.

00:13:15.860 There's no evidence

00:13:16.540 that she hates America.

00:13:18.400 If she made a mistake,

00:13:19.540 it was probably well-intentioned.

00:13:21.760 Can you give me that?

00:13:22.560 Will we be generous enough

00:13:27.060 to give her that?

00:13:28.360 I think so.

00:13:29.520 There's no evidence

00:13:30.240 that she didn't have

00:13:30.880 what's the best interest in the country.

00:13:33.200 But here's the thing.

00:13:34.880 If you have my best interest in mind

00:13:36.920 and you lie to me,

00:13:38.680 and you take my right

00:13:40.180 to make a decision away by that lie,

00:13:42.960 I'm not going to forgive you

00:13:44.520 because it was in my best interest.

00:13:47.080 Can we agree on that?

00:13:49.060 Even if it wasn't my best interest,

00:13:50.960 even if you had good intentions,

00:13:52.040 I'm not going to forgive it.

00:13:53.880 You took from me

00:13:54.980 my right to decide.

00:13:57.280 You took from me

00:13:58.400 my right to decide.

00:14:00.780 Not cool.

00:14:02.340 Not cool,

00:14:03.080 even if you did it

00:14:03.760 for my own good.

00:14:04.960 That's not how it works.

00:14:08.600 All right.

00:14:09.180 All right.

00:14:11.800 How about my prediction

00:14:13.260 that I got widely mocked for

00:14:14.880 that Republicans would be hunted

00:14:16.480 if Biden got elected?

00:14:20.000 How's that prediction?

00:14:21.000 Weirdest prediction, right?

00:14:22.860 The Republicans would be hunted?

00:14:25.940 And, you know,

00:14:26.900 it's anecdotal,

00:14:28.020 but it's starting to add up.

00:14:29.540 There's yet another story

00:14:30.620 in the New York Post

00:14:31.400 about some,

00:14:33.640 I guess,

00:14:34.100 some women 1.00

00:14:34.540 who were on

00:14:35.020 public transit

00:14:36.800 and found out

00:14:37.940 and found out

00:14:37.960 that somebody

00:14:38.420 was a Trump supporter

00:14:39.380 and just attacked her.

00:14:41.060 Now, maybe they would have

00:14:42.000 attacked her anyway,

00:14:42.860 but the story reports

00:14:43.940 that the Trump supporter

00:14:45.620 part of it

00:14:46.080 was an important part

00:14:46.940 of the story.

00:14:48.420 Now,

00:14:49.500 have you ever heard

00:14:50.340 of anybody being punched

00:14:51.580 or attacked

00:14:52.400 for being a Biden supporter?

00:14:55.020 Ever?

00:14:55.540 No.

00:14:57.700 It's not even a thing.

00:14:59.500 Zero times

00:15:00.400 that's happened.

00:15:00.980 Have you ever seen

00:15:02.620 any examples

00:15:03.260 of Republicans

00:15:04.080 who were treated

00:15:04.980 poorly by the public

00:15:06.180 for simply being

00:15:07.700 a Trump supporter?

00:15:09.680 Yes, you have.

00:15:10.600 A lot of them.

00:15:12.120 And even,

00:15:12.620 I would argue

00:15:13.160 that even the January 6th thing

00:15:14.700 is just an ordinary,

00:15:17.520 it's basically,

00:15:18.940 it's basically

00:15:21.580 an organized hunt,

00:15:23.580 isn't it?

00:15:24.960 So,

00:15:25.760 of my weirdest predictions

00:15:27.440 that Republicans

00:15:28.160 would be hunted,

00:15:29.420 there's evidence

00:15:30.080 that that's true.

00:15:31.480 China would be 1.00

00:15:32.320 too risky for business,

00:15:33.920 evidence that that's true.

00:15:35.620 The vaccinations

00:15:36.340 wouldn't work,

00:15:37.260 at least as a vaccination.

00:15:38.760 They did seem to work

00:15:39.600 as reducing illness.

00:15:43.240 I got that right, too.

00:15:45.960 You have to admit

00:15:46.860 that I made some weird,

00:15:48.480 weird predictions

00:15:49.240 that came in,

00:15:50.220 including that

00:15:50.940 Trump would be elected.

00:15:52.880 The weirdest one

00:15:53.540 I got wrong

00:15:54.400 was that Kamala Harris

00:15:55.640 would be the biggest

00:15:56.840 competitor to Trump.

00:15:58.840 She did make it

00:15:59.620 to president,

00:16:00.600 which is the weirdest

00:16:01.400 wrong prediction ever.

00:16:04.500 All right.

00:16:08.800 I can't believe

00:16:09.840 that Dr. Brooks

00:16:10.640 believed the fine people,

00:16:12.400 or the drinking bleach hoax.

00:16:14.580 Wouldn't you like

00:16:15.200 to see Republicans

00:16:16.240 have to take the hoax test

00:16:18.120 to be in government?

00:16:21.100 I mean,

00:16:21.500 actually, literally,

00:16:23.540 if somebody is running

00:16:24.740 for office,

00:16:26.080 they need to take

00:16:27.300 the hoax test.

00:16:28.680 Because do you want

00:16:29.580 somebody else

00:16:30.360 on a Republican administration

00:16:31.780 who believes

00:16:32.760 one of the hoaxes?

00:16:34.440 Do you want

00:16:35.120 that person in office?

00:16:36.440 Anybody who believed

00:16:37.480 one of those hoaxes,

00:16:38.920 especially if they're

00:16:39.800 a Republican,

00:16:42.060 you've got to worry.

00:16:43.940 You'd have to worry

00:16:44.740 about their judgment.

00:16:45.420 So here's another,

00:16:50.160 oh,

00:16:51.220 here's a suggestion

00:16:53.640 by Twitter user

00:16:55.020 Angela.

00:16:56.880 Angela,

00:16:57.500 if you're watching.

00:16:59.720 Angela suggested

00:17:00.680 by Twitter

00:17:01.240 that we have a name

00:17:02.760 for the people

00:17:03.320 who believe

00:17:03.780 in all the hoaxes.

00:17:05.880 Koi boys. 0.98

00:17:08.280 Now,

00:17:08.560 one of the hoaxes

00:17:09.460 was that Trump

00:17:10.140 overfed the koi

00:17:11.460 in Japan.

00:17:12.800 And correct me

00:17:13.880 if I'm wrong,

00:17:14.620 koi fish is redundant?

00:17:16.820 Is that right?

00:17:18.700 Because you wouldn't

00:17:19.520 say trout fish.

00:17:21.560 You'd just say trout.

00:17:23.340 So koi fish

00:17:24.460 is redundant, yeah.

00:17:25.440 So just the koi.

00:17:26.780 Now,

00:17:27.260 that was the fake news.

00:17:28.900 Trump did not

00:17:29.800 overfeed the koi.

00:17:31.500 But what do you think?

00:17:33.000 Koi boys? 1.00

00:17:34.800 Yeah,

00:17:35.100 the koi boys.

00:17:36.300 The trouble is

00:17:37.060 the Democrats

00:17:37.540 wouldn't understand

00:17:38.320 the joke.

00:17:38.980 You know why?

00:17:40.600 Because they don't know

00:17:41.840 it's fake news

00:17:42.480 that they overfed

00:17:43.220 the koi.

00:17:45.520 I tested that

00:17:46.560 with my Democrat friend.

00:17:48.920 I said,

00:17:49.520 have you heard

00:17:49.940 of the koi story?

00:17:51.600 He had not.

00:17:52.520 He had never heard

00:17:53.180 of the koi story.

00:17:55.860 Okay.

00:17:59.640 Harry Enten

00:18:00.520 on CNN

00:18:01.280 who's becoming

00:18:02.100 an interesting

00:18:02.700 opinion person

00:18:04.360 because he's

00:18:06.420 interesting

00:18:06.820 because he's

00:18:07.440 on CNN

00:18:08.140 but is saying

00:18:09.780 things that are

00:18:10.520 objectively true

00:18:11.640 that are not

00:18:13.500 necessarily good

00:18:14.500 for Democrats.

00:18:16.660 And so I'm kind

00:18:17.240 of keeping my eye

00:18:18.100 on him.

00:18:19.200 It seems like

00:18:19.920 he's been freed

00:18:20.920 to speak

00:18:22.200 his actual opinion.

00:18:24.640 You know,

00:18:25.080 it looks like

00:18:25.460 management is

00:18:26.100 allowing him

00:18:26.700 to say

00:18:27.140 what he thinks

00:18:28.580 is true 0.89

00:18:29.060 as opposed to

00:18:30.500 it's got to be

00:18:31.260 anti-Trump.

00:18:32.800 And so today

00:18:33.600 he did an opinion

00:18:34.220 piece in which

00:18:34.780 he was talking

00:18:35.240 about some facts.

00:18:36.740 The polls

00:18:37.420 showing that

00:18:38.440 the GOP,

00:18:40.280 the Republicans

00:18:41.040 are picking up

00:18:41.780 support from

00:18:42.380 blacks,

00:18:42.920 Hispanics,

00:18:43.980 Asian,

00:18:44.520 and women. 0.98

00:18:48.020 They've already

00:18:48.740 got everybody else.

00:18:51.740 That's right.

00:18:52.660 The Republicans

00:18:53.220 are picking up

00:18:54.000 support from

00:18:54.740 the black community,

00:18:56.580 Hispanics,

00:18:57.260 Asian,

00:18:57.720 and women. 0.98

00:18:58.640 And I'm thinking,

00:19:00.240 well,

00:19:00.440 who are we

00:19:00.760 leaving out?

00:19:01.380 Probably everybody

00:19:03.700 else is going

00:19:04.300 that way too.

00:19:05.200 It's basically

00:19:05.640 everybody.

00:19:06.980 Now,

00:19:07.580 how many of you

00:19:09.780 scoffed

00:19:11.060 when I told you

00:19:12.220 that Republicans

00:19:12.900 were going to be,

00:19:14.300 you know,

00:19:14.680 people would

00:19:15.660 eventually figure out

00:19:16.740 that they were

00:19:18.180 Republicans,

00:19:18.900 they just didn't

00:19:19.380 know it?

00:19:19.920 Sort of the

00:19:20.380 Ronald Reagan

00:19:20.920 thing.

00:19:22.060 I mean,

00:19:22.280 I probably told you

00:19:23.280 four or five

00:19:24.120 years ago

00:19:24.680 that the black

00:19:26.500 voters in this

00:19:27.280 country would

00:19:27.820 start to move

00:19:28.400 Republican,

00:19:29.060 and everybody

00:19:29.420 laughed at me.

00:19:30.080 And it's

00:19:31.440 happening.

00:19:32.780 Black voters

00:19:33.540 are moving

00:19:34.020 Republicans,

00:19:35.060 for obvious

00:19:35.620 reasons,

00:19:36.120 you know,

00:19:36.500 economics,

00:19:37.360 blah,

00:19:37.500 blah,

00:19:37.620 blah.

00:19:39.480 Oh,

00:19:39.780 there's a

00:19:41.400 good thank

00:19:42.580 you for that

00:19:42.980 correction.

00:19:43.540 Somebody made

00:19:44.040 a correction.

00:19:45.540 I should have

00:19:46.160 said they're

00:19:46.660 starting to

00:19:47.520 move conservative,

00:19:48.920 which might

00:19:49.640 include supporting

00:19:50.720 some Republican

00:19:51.420 stuff,

00:19:52.940 and people.

00:19:55.120 So I wouldn't

00:19:55.920 say they're

00:19:56.260 moving Republicans

00:19:57.200 so much as

00:19:58.120 they're moving

00:19:58.580 in that direction.

00:20:00.080 here's

00:20:02.060 something else

00:20:02.520 that Harry

00:20:02.920 Enten said,

00:20:04.160 that when

00:20:04.480 people were

00:20:04.940 asked about,

00:20:08.000 oh,

00:20:08.320 not only are

00:20:10.060 those populations

00:20:10.820 moving toward

00:20:12.400 Republicans,

00:20:13.280 but at the

00:20:14.140 best rate

00:20:14.940 either ever

00:20:17.000 or for decades.

00:20:18.780 So we're

00:20:19.140 talking about

00:20:19.660 like an

00:20:20.000 all-time best

00:20:20.960 for Republicans

00:20:21.820 picking up

00:20:22.840 black support.

00:20:23.520 Is that weird?

00:20:25.940 Imagine what it

00:20:26.660 would be if the

00:20:27.400 entire press

00:20:28.240 were not

00:20:29.180 making hoaxes

00:20:30.880 about racism.

00:20:33.720 Wouldn't the

00:20:34.520 Republicans just

00:20:35.360 completely be

00:20:36.860 competitive?

00:20:37.780 It would be

00:20:38.100 closer to 50-50,

00:20:39.340 wouldn't it?

00:20:40.300 Because if you

00:20:41.220 would actually

00:20:41.580 look at the

00:20:42.460 views of

00:20:43.880 black Americans,

00:20:45.560 wouldn't it be

00:20:46.140 closer to 50-50

00:20:47.720 conservative

00:20:49.100 versus liberal?

00:20:50.940 On some issues,

00:20:52.160 it's probably

00:20:52.540 completely liberal,

00:20:53.480 but overall,

00:20:55.140 don't you think

00:20:55.640 you'd be closer

00:20:56.080 to 50-50?

00:20:57.000 That's just sort

00:20:57.800 of a general

00:20:59.200 impression.

00:20:59.920 I don't know

00:21:00.220 that that's

00:21:00.600 backed by any

00:21:01.160 data.

00:21:03.500 So I think

00:21:04.200 we'll move

00:21:04.560 toward that

00:21:05.000 despite the

00:21:06.600 brainwashing.

00:21:08.160 So according

00:21:08.700 to also Harry

00:21:09.820 Enten was

00:21:10.300 saying on

00:21:10.820 the CNN

00:21:11.500 piece,

00:21:12.700 that when

00:21:13.580 asked what

00:21:14.120 the top

00:21:14.500 issue in

00:21:14.840 the country

00:21:15.160 is,

00:21:15.540 fewer than

00:21:16.080 1% of

00:21:17.020 respondents

00:21:17.480 said coronavirus.

00:21:18.440 So the

00:21:20.980 government

00:21:21.360 may be

00:21:22.020 looking to

00:21:22.580 remask us

00:21:23.940 and put

00:21:25.020 restrictions

00:21:25.580 back on,

00:21:26.700 and the

00:21:27.360 public is

00:21:27.920 so done.

00:21:30.220 So done.

00:21:31.760 When my

00:21:32.760 county was

00:21:34.060 sort of the

00:21:34.480 last one,

00:21:35.140 I think,

00:21:35.440 in the country

00:21:35.940 or near the

00:21:36.500 last to

00:21:37.400 reinstitute

00:21:38.140 masks toward

00:21:39.400 the end of

00:21:40.240 that last

00:21:40.680 cycle in

00:21:41.120 the spring,

00:21:42.320 the mask

00:21:43.080 compliance in

00:21:44.980 stores was

00:21:46.660 just practically

00:21:47.660 ridiculous.

00:21:49.800 There were

00:21:50.380 no store

00:21:51.100 owners who

00:21:52.480 were enforcing

00:21:53.100 a period.

00:21:54.420 The store

00:21:55.100 owners were

00:21:55.800 just done.

00:21:56.900 And when

00:21:57.140 the store

00:21:57.480 owners are

00:21:57.960 done,

00:21:58.800 the public's

00:21:59.360 done.

00:22:00.540 Now, of

00:22:01.260 course, in

00:22:01.560 medical facilities

00:22:02.420 and stuff,

00:22:02.940 people still

00:22:03.380 masked up,

00:22:04.100 but I think

00:22:04.440 they're still

00:22:04.740 doing that

00:22:05.100 now.

00:22:06.560 Personally,

00:22:08.340 has anybody

00:22:08.780 else had this

00:22:09.340 experience?

00:22:10.040 Even if,

00:22:10.400 no matter how

00:22:11.020 anti-mask you

00:22:12.120 are, if you

00:22:13.400 go into a

00:22:13.920 medical facility,

00:22:15.680 you just go,

00:22:16.460 oh, hell,

00:22:17.040 you put on

00:22:17.460 your mask.

00:22:19.080 Anybody have

00:22:19.680 that same

00:22:20.060 experience?

00:22:21.080 If I go to

00:22:21.680 the grocery

00:22:22.100 store, I

00:22:22.660 might be a

00:22:23.100 rebel.

00:22:24.320 But if I go

00:22:25.220 to my doctor,

00:22:27.060 I'm going to

00:22:27.880 put on the

00:22:28.260 mask.

00:22:28.780 Now, why is

00:22:29.260 that?

00:22:30.580 I guess it's

00:22:31.220 because I want

00:22:31.800 my health care.

00:22:32.460 I don't want

00:22:32.760 to get in a

00:22:33.180 fight, right?

00:22:33.900 I just don't

00:22:34.640 want to pick

00:22:35.040 a fight.

00:22:36.220 But I, you

00:22:37.280 know, I

00:22:37.760 convince myself

00:22:38.740 it's because

00:22:39.300 they're, you

00:22:40.300 know,

00:22:40.560 immunocompromised

00:22:42.060 people are in

00:22:42.860 greater concentration

00:22:44.520 or something,

00:22:45.480 but dentists

00:22:46.900 too, yeah.

00:22:47.780 Well, I guess

00:22:48.740 you've got to

00:22:49.040 take it off

00:22:49.460 the dentist

00:22:49.960 eventually.

00:22:51.720 But,

00:22:52.080 interesting.

00:22:54.700 Yeah, I

00:22:55.120 mean, psychologically

00:22:55.960 I bend to

00:22:56.980 that one when I

00:22:57.680 don't bend to

00:22:58.280 other things as

00:22:58.900 easily.

00:22:59.360 I'm not sure

00:22:59.760 why.

00:23:00.580 Somebody says

00:23:01.100 it's respect.

00:23:02.460 Okay, I think

00:23:03.200 that's what it

00:23:03.620 is.

00:23:03.900 That's exactly

00:23:04.440 what it is.

00:23:05.160 I think that

00:23:05.720 is just respect

00:23:06.500 for the medical

00:23:07.160 profession.

00:23:08.760 I think you'd

00:23:09.480 nailed it.

00:23:10.340 Because I

00:23:10.720 knew there

00:23:11.200 was something

00:23:11.880 that was

00:23:13.840 biasing me

00:23:14.620 toward forgetting

00:23:15.900 the science and

00:23:16.660 just doing what

00:23:17.220 they said in

00:23:17.900 that case.

00:23:18.940 And I think

00:23:19.300 that's what it

00:23:19.740 is.

00:23:19.900 I think it's

00:23:20.160 just respect

00:23:20.680 for the

00:23:21.020 medical community.

00:23:23.080 I'm going to

00:23:23.580 go with that.

00:23:25.140 Anybody else

00:23:25.760 feel that?

00:23:26.360 That that's the

00:23:26.840 only reason you

00:23:27.340 do it?

00:23:27.640 It's like,

00:23:27.940 okay, I

00:23:28.280 respect these

00:23:28.880 people.

00:23:29.680 They're working

00:23:30.160 hard.

00:23:30.600 They sacrificed

00:23:31.280 all the way

00:23:31.680 through the

00:23:31.960 pandemic.

00:23:32.860 If they want

00:23:33.480 me to put a

00:23:33.900 mask on,

00:23:35.160 put a fucking 0.97

00:23:35.740 mask on.

00:23:36.760 Just because

00:23:37.300 they want it.

00:23:38.140 Right?

00:23:38.700 So that would

00:23:39.320 be an example

00:23:39.860 of just

00:23:40.540 because they

00:23:41.120 want it,

00:23:42.380 I'm in.

00:23:43.640 Because they've

00:23:44.160 earned it,

00:23:44.540 right?

00:23:45.180 There's nobody

00:23:45.880 who worked

00:23:46.320 harder than

00:23:47.740 the medical

00:23:48.360 community.

00:23:49.880 So if they

00:23:50.400 ask me to

00:23:50.820 put one on,

00:23:51.400 okay.

00:23:52.580 Because they've

00:23:52.980 earned it.

00:23:58.220 CNN is

00:23:58.960 slandering Ted

00:23:59.740 Cruz today,

00:24:00.720 in my opinion.

00:24:02.300 So is

00:24:03.060 slander,

00:24:03.720 in my opinion,

00:24:04.380 when your

00:24:04.720 headline suggests

00:24:05.740 something that's

00:24:06.560 not in the

00:24:07.040 body of the

00:24:07.620 article?

00:24:08.100 Would you

00:24:08.480 go that far?

00:24:09.060 If the

00:24:10.180 headline is

00:24:10.720 obviously not

00:24:11.660 matching the

00:24:12.180 article,

00:24:12.620 and the

00:24:12.820 headline is

00:24:13.280 making you

00:24:13.700 think something

00:24:14.380 bad happened,

00:24:15.520 and then you

00:24:15.900 read the

00:24:16.200 article,

00:24:16.560 oh,

00:24:16.800 that's not

00:24:17.140 bad.

00:24:18.140 That's slander,

00:24:18.920 isn't it?

00:24:19.940 So here's the

00:24:22.080 headline on

00:24:22.840 CNN.

00:24:23.940 And it's an

00:24:24.640 opinion piece,

00:24:25.320 so it says

00:24:25.720 opinion,

00:24:26.800 colon.

00:24:27.900 So I wonder

00:24:29.560 if this is a

00:24:30.160 change.

00:24:31.240 It's interesting

00:24:31.840 that the CNN

00:24:32.900 labeled it an

00:24:34.060 opinion.

00:24:35.240 They labeled it

00:24:36.060 an opinion.

00:24:36.620 Interesting.

00:24:37.740 You know,

00:24:37.960 like really

00:24:39.120 boldly

00:24:39.840 opinion.

00:24:41.300 Maybe they

00:24:42.240 know that

00:24:42.700 this is not

00:24:44.060 quite, you

00:24:45.620 know, not

00:24:45.960 quite on the

00:24:46.580 level here.

00:24:48.020 So this is

00:24:48.800 Dean Obadiah.

00:24:50.620 He often

00:24:51.020 does some of

00:24:51.620 the anti-Trump

00:24:52.620 stuff.

00:24:53.840 And he says

00:24:54.460 that Ted

00:24:55.240 Cruz's stance,

00:24:56.120 this is just

00:24:56.800 the headline,

00:24:58.180 Ted Cruz's

00:24:58.900 stance on

00:24:59.520 same-sex

00:25:00.180 marriage raises

00:25:01.500 a huge red

00:25:02.480 flag.

00:25:04.260 Now, what

00:25:04.620 would you

00:25:04.960 think Ted

00:25:05.600 Cruz's opinion

00:25:06.480 on same-sex

00:25:07.580 marriages is if

00:25:09.360 it, quote,

00:25:10.220 raises a huge

00:25:11.520 red flag?

00:25:13.000 What would be

00:25:13.700 the way a

00:25:14.280 Democrat would

00:25:15.100 interpret that?

00:25:16.800 How would a

00:25:17.520 Democrat interpret

00:25:18.840 that Ted Cruz's

00:25:20.860 stance, it's

00:25:22.140 unmentioned what

00:25:22.860 his stance is,

00:25:24.060 but his stance

00:25:25.020 on same-sex

00:25:25.840 marriage raises a

00:25:27.360 huge red flag?

00:25:29.240 You would

00:25:29.780 assume he

00:25:31.480 against it,

00:25:32.740 same-sex

00:25:33.400 marriage.

00:25:36.040 What does

00:25:36.660 the article

00:25:37.080 say?

00:25:38.880 The article

00:25:39.580 doesn't say

00:25:40.060 anything whether

00:25:40.740 he's against

00:25:41.220 it or for

00:25:41.620 it.

00:25:42.720 It says that

00:25:43.460 he thinks the

00:25:43.980 proper place to

00:25:44.760 have that decided

00:25:45.420 is in the

00:25:45.980 States, maybe.

00:25:47.140 I think he

00:25:47.840 firmly says it

00:25:48.620 should be in

00:25:48.960 the States.

00:25:50.380 Now, saying

00:25:51.460 that something

00:25:51.860 should be decided

00:25:52.680 by the States,

00:25:54.120 does that match

00:25:54.820 this headline?

00:25:55.980 Ted Cruz's

00:25:56.680 stance on

00:25:57.260 same-sex

00:25:57.800 marriage raises

00:25:58.600 a huge red

00:25:59.420 flag?

00:26:00.360 Well,

00:26:00.720 technically,

00:26:02.180 yes.

00:26:03.680 Technically,

00:26:04.280 all they're

00:26:04.580 saying is it

00:26:05.160 raises a huge

00:26:05.900 red flag,

00:26:07.000 and I think

00:26:07.740 you could say

00:26:08.200 that's true,

00:26:09.440 because it

00:26:09.800 tells you,

00:26:10.360 oh, watch

00:26:10.960 out, the

00:26:11.580 States could

00:26:12.100 change something

00:26:12.720 that you like.

00:26:13.640 Yeah, okay.

00:26:14.940 But don't you

00:26:15.960 think that it

00:26:16.580 also indicates

00:26:17.460 he's against

00:26:18.000 it?

00:26:18.960 And I don't

00:26:19.540 see that

00:26:20.020 evidence in

00:26:21.040 the story.

00:26:23.700 So to me,

00:26:24.480 this looks like

00:26:24.980 slander.

00:26:26.020 It looks to me

00:26:27.040 like they're

00:26:27.420 clearly trying to

00:26:28.300 indicate something

00:26:29.360 that's not

00:26:29.780 true.

00:26:31.540 All right.

00:26:34.500 I saw

00:26:35.260 Assange,

00:26:36.320 this is an

00:26:36.880 old quote

00:26:37.580 of his,

00:26:38.720 talking about

00:26:39.400 why we need

00:26:40.040 permanent wars,

00:26:41.360 and he was

00:26:41.840 talking about

00:26:42.280 Afghanistan.

00:26:43.580 As a war,

00:26:44.300 we didn't want

00:26:44.920 to win and

00:26:45.360 we didn't want

00:26:45.880 to lose,

00:26:46.320 we just wanted

00:26:46.840 to permanently

00:26:47.480 have a war.

00:26:48.580 He said the

00:26:49.120 reason is to

00:26:50.920 drain money out

00:26:52.000 of the tech

00:26:52.640 elite and put

00:26:55.480 it into more

00:26:56.100 of the military

00:26:57.240 industrial complex.

00:26:58.760 Have you ever

00:27:00.080 heard that

00:27:00.400 interpretation?

00:27:01.860 That the

00:27:02.560 technical elite,

00:27:04.340 you know,

00:27:04.500 the tech

00:27:05.020 company,

00:27:05.680 billionaires and

00:27:06.300 stuff,

00:27:06.960 that they were

00:27:07.400 getting too

00:27:07.800 much money and

00:27:08.460 therefore too

00:27:09.100 much power,

00:27:10.200 and that part

00:27:10.800 of the reasons

00:27:11.260 for a permanent

00:27:11.860 war is that 0.60

00:27:12.640 it allows you

00:27:13.040 to raise

00:27:13.660 taxes,

00:27:14.820 tax those

00:27:15.520 people,

00:27:16.500 run it through

00:27:16.980 the military

00:27:17.540 and make

00:27:18.420 profits for

00:27:19.180 the people

00:27:20.680 who are not

00:27:21.140 getting as

00:27:21.520 rich as the

00:27:22.060 tech people.

00:27:23.240 I don't know.

00:27:24.680 I feel like

00:27:25.300 that's an

00:27:25.720 over-interpretation

00:27:26.900 of what's

00:27:27.240 happening.

00:27:27.540 I think

00:27:28.640 the easier

00:27:29.940 interpretation is

00:27:30.820 everybody's doing

00:27:31.800 what looks like

00:27:32.420 their best

00:27:32.860 financial interest,

00:27:34.800 and this is the

00:27:35.420 way it comes out.

00:27:36.640 And the people

00:27:37.180 who sell weapons,

00:27:38.180 their best

00:27:38.520 financial interest

00:27:39.360 is to sell

00:27:40.080 more weapons,

00:27:40.880 so of course

00:27:41.440 they're pushing

00:27:43.120 for more wars

00:27:44.100 or permanent

00:27:44.560 wars.

00:27:45.180 I don't think

00:27:45.800 you have to

00:27:46.220 add that extra

00:27:47.000 incentive that

00:27:48.440 they want to

00:27:48.920 drain the money

00:27:50.060 from some

00:27:50.540 other group.

00:27:52.040 I mean,

00:27:52.360 that might be

00:27:52.840 what's happening,

00:27:54.280 but I feel

00:27:54.860 that's over-interpreting

00:27:56.140 it.

00:27:57.060 It's just

00:27:57.700 people trying

00:27:58.180 to make money

00:27:58.700 any way they

00:27:59.460 can,

00:28:00.000 I think.

00:28:03.920 So,

00:28:05.140 all right,

00:28:06.580 let's talk about

00:28:07.060 the January 6th

00:28:08.200 hopes.

00:28:10.040 This is how

00:28:10.980 CNN is

00:28:12.160 covering it.

00:28:12.760 Let me give

00:28:17.360 you just how

00:28:18.340 they do

00:28:18.620 the propaganda.

00:28:21.280 So,

00:28:21.760 the current

00:28:22.100 propaganda is

00:28:23.080 that there's

00:28:23.440 a whole bunch

00:28:23.880 of new

00:28:24.140 evidence.

00:28:25.720 So,

00:28:26.340 if you were

00:28:26.860 reading an

00:28:27.300 article on

00:28:27.740 CNN and

00:28:28.320 you didn't

00:28:28.640 have time,

00:28:29.740 you're just

00:28:30.020 skimming it,

00:28:31.120 and you saw

00:28:31.580 there was a

00:28:31.940 whole bunch

00:28:32.280 of new

00:28:32.620 evidence about

00:28:33.860 Trump planning

00:28:34.720 an insurrection,

00:28:37.500 what would you

00:28:38.400 assume?

00:28:39.700 Wouldn't you

00:28:40.260 assume that

00:28:40.760 there was

00:28:41.280 new evidence?

00:28:42.760 And then

00:28:44.860 you look for,

00:28:45.380 you read the

00:28:45.800 article looking

00:28:46.360 for the new

00:28:46.880 evidence.

00:28:49.160 And

00:28:49.520 some of

00:28:52.500 the new

00:28:52.780 evidence is

00:28:53.660 that when

00:28:54.080 Trump said

00:28:54.840 that he

00:28:56.700 didn't want

00:28:57.540 the metal

00:28:58.560 detectors to

00:28:59.460 be working

00:29:00.520 because he

00:29:02.720 didn't want

00:29:03.140 the crowd

00:29:03.720 to be limited,

00:29:04.720 he wanted

00:29:04.940 the crowd

00:29:05.360 to be able

00:29:05.740 to go

00:29:05.940 where the

00:29:06.200 crowd could

00:29:06.680 go to

00:29:07.020 protest,

00:29:08.140 and he

00:29:08.520 said that

00:29:09.960 they,

00:29:11.020 you know,

00:29:11.220 even if they

00:29:11.680 had weapons,

00:29:12.260 they're not

00:29:12.940 going to

00:29:13.180 hurt him.

00:29:14.700 Now,

00:29:15.220 how did

00:29:15.700 CNN interpret

00:29:17.320 Trump saying

00:29:18.620 he wants to

00:29:19.180 take down

00:29:19.620 the metal

00:29:19.940 detectors

00:29:20.420 because they're

00:29:21.620 not going

00:29:22.020 to hurt

00:29:22.380 him?

00:29:23.560 They

00:29:24.120 interpreted

00:29:24.620 that as

00:29:25.260 his secret

00:29:25.900 meaning,

00:29:27.100 his secret

00:29:27.680 mafia talk,

00:29:29.180 is let

00:29:29.860 him in,

00:29:30.720 they're going

00:29:31.060 to use

00:29:31.400 those guns

00:29:32.020 to conquer

00:29:33.540 the Capitol.

00:29:34.080 people.

00:29:36.640 Now,

00:29:37.280 let me tell

00:29:37.720 you,

00:29:38.100 everything

00:29:38.460 that CNN

00:29:39.140 has been

00:29:39.620 reporting

00:29:40.020 about Trump

00:29:41.080 from the

00:29:41.660 first day

00:29:42.200 he announced

00:29:42.860 was that

00:29:43.780 Trump only

00:29:44.440 cares about

00:29:45.180 what happens

00:29:45.780 to Trump.

00:29:46.720 Am I

00:29:47.060 right?

00:29:47.940 The single

00:29:48.720 most consistent

00:29:49.900 narrative of

00:29:51.640 Trump is that

00:29:52.300 he only cares

00:29:53.160 about what

00:29:53.620 happens to

00:29:54.160 him.

00:29:55.820 Do we all

00:29:56.540 accept that?

00:29:57.740 That he

00:29:58.040 doesn't care

00:29:58.500 about the

00:29:58.940 country,

00:29:59.920 doesn't care

00:30:00.400 about anything.

00:30:01.780 He only cares

00:30:02.400 about what

00:30:02.760 happens to

00:30:03.200 him.

00:30:04.080 We are

00:30:04.580 to believe

00:30:04.980 that that's

00:30:05.400 true,

00:30:05.760 right?

00:30:06.800 And then

00:30:07.320 when CNN

00:30:07.780 reports it

00:30:09.360 and says

00:30:09.980 that when

00:30:10.780 he was

00:30:11.060 talking about

00:30:11.620 the metal

00:30:11.960 detectors,

00:30:12.800 the only

00:30:13.420 thing he

00:30:13.840 cared about

00:30:14.280 the metal

00:30:14.640 detectors was

00:30:15.580 were they

00:30:16.580 there to

00:30:17.060 hurt him?

00:30:18.760 In other

00:30:19.180 words,

00:30:19.460 he personalized

00:30:20.100 the metal

00:30:20.680 detectors as

00:30:21.460 being about

00:30:22.060 him.

00:30:23.080 And then

00:30:23.580 he spoke

00:30:24.080 to it

00:30:24.560 about him.

00:30:26.260 The most

00:30:26.740 consistent

00:30:27.380 thing that

00:30:28.260 they have

00:30:28.620 told us

00:30:29.040 is the

00:30:29.360 way he

00:30:29.700 thinks.

00:30:30.600 And then

00:30:31.140 they decided

00:30:31.720 to conclude

00:30:32.460 that even

00:30:33.400 though they

00:30:33.740 have sold

00:30:34.060 us that

00:30:34.440 all he

00:30:35.040 cares about

00:30:35.520 is him,

00:30:36.540 that the

00:30:36.900 one time

00:30:37.400 he clearly

00:30:38.040 said,

00:30:38.920 this is

00:30:39.160 about me,

00:30:39.960 they're not

00:30:40.480 here to

00:30:40.780 hurt me,

00:30:41.700 the one

00:30:42.220 time he

00:30:42.580 explicitly

00:30:43.160 said,

00:30:43.720 this is

00:30:43.940 just about

00:30:44.480 me,

00:30:45.180 how did

00:30:45.660 they interpret

00:30:46.160 it?

00:30:47.200 It wasn't

00:30:48.000 about him.

00:30:49.400 It was

00:30:50.040 about attacking

00:30:50.720 the Capitol.

00:30:51.820 The one

00:30:52.480 time it

00:30:53.480 was absolutely

00:30:54.560 definitely

00:30:55.100 about him.

00:30:56.220 He said

00:30:57.000 it exactly

00:30:57.620 in those

00:30:58.080 words.

00:30:58.740 And they

00:30:59.160 interpreted it

00:30:59.960 as being

00:31:00.800 some other

00:31:01.320 thing.

00:31:02.300 Now,

00:31:02.540 do you

00:31:02.780 see the

00:31:03.400 pattern yet?

00:31:05.140 Scott

00:31:05.460 says,

00:31:10.560 MV here

00:31:12.120 says,

00:31:12.480 Scott is

00:31:12.880 being red

00:31:13.360 pilled after

00:31:13.980 a lifetime

00:31:14.440 on the

00:31:14.920 left.

00:31:16.840 Does that

00:31:17.500 sound right?

00:31:18.800 Does it

00:31:19.100 sound like

00:31:19.480 I'm just

00:31:19.860 now getting

00:31:20.340 red pilled

00:31:20.860 because of

00:31:22.300 my lifetime

00:31:22.820 on the

00:31:23.180 left?

00:31:23.960 You are

00:31:24.500 really not

00:31:25.160 paying attention,

00:31:25.980 MV.

00:31:26.220 you should

00:31:28.860 probably

00:31:29.160 never talk

00:31:29.980 in public

00:31:30.540 because you're

00:31:32.140 just embarrassing

00:31:32.760 yourself in front

00:31:33.500 of everybody

00:31:34.020 here.

00:31:35.100 That is

00:31:35.840 the most

00:31:36.340 ignorant

00:31:36.660 comment you

00:31:37.320 could possibly

00:31:37.900 say about

00:31:38.360 me.

00:31:39.040 It's like

00:31:39.340 you don't

00:31:39.540 know who

00:31:40.260 I am.

00:31:41.400 Did you

00:31:41.600 just come

00:31:43.500 here from

00:31:43.840 TikTok?

00:31:47.340 If you're

00:31:47.980 going to be

00:31:48.740 here, you

00:31:49.180 need to

00:31:49.500 elevate your

00:31:50.180 game a

00:31:50.560 little bit.

00:31:52.600 Don't just

00:31:53.260 imagine shit

00:31:54.120 and then

00:31:54.400 criticize it.

00:31:55.120 if you

00:31:57.540 want to

00:31:57.840 find a

00:31:58.220 way to

00:31:58.480 say you're

00:31:58.800 a Democrat

00:31:59.240 without being

00:31:59.780 a Democrat,

00:32:00.520 just say

00:32:01.080 it that

00:32:01.340 way.

00:32:02.100 I imagined

00:32:02.860 something and

00:32:03.800 in my

00:32:04.160 imagination it

00:32:05.060 was very

00:32:05.980 disturbing so

00:32:06.820 therefore you

00:32:07.440 should go to

00:32:07.920 jail because

00:32:09.040 of my

00:32:09.520 imagination.

00:32:10.920 I imagined

00:32:11.660 bad things so

00:32:12.480 maybe you

00:32:12.920 should all

00:32:13.180 go to

00:32:13.440 jail.

00:32:16.100 The way

00:32:17.320 that the

00:32:17.820 media

00:32:18.300 propagandists

00:32:19.100 play this

00:32:19.940 is Trump

00:32:20.860 will say

00:32:21.220 something.

00:32:21.820 I tweeted

00:32:22.540 this earlier.

00:32:23.600 Trump will

00:32:24.040 say the

00:32:24.420 sky is

00:32:24.940 blue.

00:32:26.400 And if

00:32:27.000 you're a

00:32:27.280 Trump supporter

00:32:27.880 you say

00:32:28.320 Trump says

00:32:30.280 the sky is

00:32:30.780 blue.

00:32:31.980 It looks

00:32:32.420 blue.

00:32:33.420 That tracks.

00:32:35.520 Most people

00:32:36.240 think it's

00:32:36.640 blue.

00:32:37.520 Trump probably

00:32:38.100 thinks it's

00:32:38.540 blue.

00:32:39.560 I don't know.

00:32:40.100 Obviously

00:32:40.540 that's exactly

00:32:41.600 what he

00:32:41.860 means.

00:32:42.440 Sky is

00:32:42.880 blue.

00:32:44.520 And then

00:32:45.180 CNN will

00:32:45.880 say when

00:32:46.380 Trump says

00:32:46.880 the sky is

00:32:47.360 blue what

00:32:47.780 he really

00:32:48.200 means is

00:32:48.760 that he

00:32:49.120 wants to

00:32:49.520 round up

00:32:49.940 all brown

00:32:50.360 people and

00:32:50.980 kill them. 0.54

00:32:52.300 and then

00:32:54.500 you say

00:32:54.960 that feels

00:32:56.620 like not

00:32:57.800 even close

00:32:58.300 to what

00:32:58.580 he said.

00:32:59.640 In fact

00:33:00.100 that is so

00:33:01.400 far from

00:33:01.900 what he

00:33:02.240 said that

00:33:03.340 I don't

00:33:03.620 even know

00:33:03.900 what's

00:33:04.080 happening

00:33:04.380 now.

00:33:06.440 But the

00:33:07.020 only people

00:33:07.480 who are

00:33:07.700 going to

00:33:07.940 notice that

00:33:09.100 he didn't

00:33:09.460 say that

00:33:10.000 are the

00:33:10.780 people who

00:33:11.220 follow the

00:33:11.740 news closely

00:33:12.480 especially when

00:33:13.720 they see

00:33:14.020 both sides.

00:33:14.600 what percentage

00:33:15.980 of the

00:33:16.340 country

00:33:16.640 follow the

00:33:17.280 news

00:33:17.520 closely?

00:33:19.500 5%?

00:33:20.620 What would

00:33:21.160 you say?

00:33:22.100 What percentage

00:33:22.820 of the

00:33:23.140 country

00:33:23.420 follow the

00:33:24.040 news

00:33:24.200 closely?

00:33:25.220 Meaning

00:33:25.520 they've at

00:33:25.960 least heard

00:33:26.480 both

00:33:26.760 arguments.

00:33:27.980 It's less

00:33:28.540 than 5.

00:33:29.920 It's like

00:33:30.480 3 tops.

00:33:32.720 So if

00:33:33.900 CNN gives

00:33:34.540 a headline

00:33:35.100 that says

00:33:35.680 Trump says

00:33:36.620 the sky is

00:33:37.840 blue but

00:33:38.300 what he

00:33:38.580 really means

00:33:39.200 is round

00:33:40.040 up and

00:33:40.400 kill all

00:33:40.780 the people

00:33:41.180 who are

00:33:41.660 brown.

00:33:42.620 what are

00:33:44.780 people who

00:33:45.280 are low

00:33:45.860 consumers of

00:33:47.040 news going

00:33:48.020 to say?

00:33:48.560 They're going

00:33:48.940 to believe

00:33:49.220 it.

00:33:49.400 It's on

00:33:49.660 CNN.

00:33:50.640 Oh it's

00:33:51.000 also on

00:33:51.440 MSNBC.

00:33:52.660 Oh it's

00:33:53.000 also on

00:33:53.400 NPR.

00:33:53.940 Oh it's

00:33:54.240 also on

00:33:54.580 ABC.

00:33:55.460 And they're

00:33:55.780 all saying

00:33:56.100 the same

00:33:56.440 thing.

00:33:57.120 That Trump

00:33:57.500 said something

00:33:58.060 horrible and

00:33:59.000 even if you

00:33:59.480 looked at his

00:33:59.900 actual words

00:34:00.540 all he said

00:34:00.920 was the sky

00:34:01.500 is blue.

00:34:02.300 But everybody's

00:34:03.240 reporting that he

00:34:03.900 literally said

00:34:04.480 different things.

00:34:05.700 Or that what

00:34:06.560 he meant in

00:34:07.080 his mind was

00:34:07.740 the worst

00:34:08.520 interpretation of

00:34:09.520 it.

00:34:09.680 Correct me

00:34:13.580 if I'm

00:34:13.840 wrong.

00:34:14.560 Is not the

00:34:15.140 most obvious

00:34:15.840 interpretation of

00:34:17.060 they won't

00:34:18.200 hurt me

00:34:18.980 isn't the

00:34:20.900 most obvious

00:34:21.500 interpretation

00:34:22.260 I'm worried

00:34:23.860 about myself

00:34:24.740 and even I

00:34:26.000 don't see a

00:34:26.580 problem because

00:34:27.220 Republicans are

00:34:28.020 not here to

00:34:28.580 shoot me.

00:34:30.340 Did any of

00:34:31.140 that indicate

00:34:31.720 he thought

00:34:32.180 they were

00:34:32.400 going to use

00:34:32.780 their weapons

00:34:33.280 on the

00:34:33.920 Capitol?

00:34:35.420 To me it

00:34:35.920 indicates that

00:34:36.500 he doesn't

00:34:36.940 think Republicans

00:34:37.760 bring out

00:34:38.320 weapons unless

00:34:39.060 they have

00:34:39.880 self-defense

00:34:40.420 purposes.

00:34:42.040 To me it

00:34:42.760 just sounds

00:34:43.100 like a

00:34:43.400 Republican

00:34:43.780 opinion.

00:34:45.100 Republicans

00:34:45.560 don't take

00:34:46.480 out their

00:34:46.840 gun unless

00:34:48.360 it's self-defense

00:34:49.080 and it

00:34:49.580 didn't look

00:34:49.940 like there

00:34:50.240 was any

00:34:50.540 self-defense

00:34:51.220 going on.

00:34:52.460 From Trump's

00:34:53.160 point of view

00:34:53.660 where was the

00:34:54.380 self-defense

00:34:54.920 requirement?

00:34:56.020 There was no

00:34:56.740 threat.

00:34:58.080 Why would

00:34:58.480 they take

00:34:58.840 out guns

00:34:59.300 when there

00:34:59.600 was no

00:34:59.840 purpose?

00:35:01.300 Isn't the

00:35:01.800 most obvious

00:35:02.560 Republican

00:35:03.200 opinion that

00:35:04.680 Republicans use 0.66

00:35:05.520 guns when

00:35:06.060 they have a

00:35:06.400 good reason,

00:35:07.000 a legal reason

00:35:07.680 and they

00:35:08.540 don't use

00:35:09.100 them when

00:35:09.380 they don't.

00:35:12.040 But Democrats

00:35:13.500 don't know

00:35:14.060 that so you

00:35:14.620 can just do

00:35:15.000 a headline

00:35:15.420 that suggests

00:35:16.080 the opposite

00:35:16.560 and that's

00:35:17.100 all they

00:35:17.320 see and

00:35:17.900 they're good.

00:35:19.740 Here's what

00:35:20.420 Democrats have

00:35:22.140 to believe at

00:35:22.860 this point to

00:35:23.720 keep their

00:35:24.100 illusion alive.

00:35:25.820 They have to

00:35:26.600 believe that

00:35:27.180 Trump, the

00:35:28.780 worst manager

00:35:29.800 who ever

00:35:30.360 lived in

00:35:31.340 their opinion,

00:35:32.580 so this is

00:35:33.620 for Democrats

00:35:34.140 to keep their

00:35:34.700 opinion consistent.

00:35:35.640 the worst

00:35:37.160 manager who

00:35:38.380 ever lived

00:35:38.960 who can't

00:35:40.260 keep his

00:35:40.700 mouth shut,

00:35:41.560 again, this

00:35:42.380 is Democrat

00:35:42.920 opinion of

00:35:43.560 Trump, worst

00:35:44.860 manager ever,

00:35:46.240 can't keep his

00:35:46.980 mouth shut,

00:35:48.060 spouts off

00:35:48.720 everything,

00:35:50.200 and yet

00:35:50.680 managed to

00:35:52.520 plan and

00:35:53.900 execute a

00:35:54.860 failed insurrection

00:35:55.820 without leaving

00:35:57.220 any evidence.

00:35:59.740 That's what you

00:36:00.720 have to believe

00:36:01.260 if you're a

00:36:01.700 Democrat,

00:36:01.980 that he did

00:36:03.800 this entire

00:36:04.360 insurrection and

00:36:05.300 they're looking

00:36:05.740 for evidence

00:36:06.440 and they

00:36:07.180 haven't found

00:36:07.740 any.

00:36:09.580 Can you

00:36:10.340 imagine any

00:36:10.920 scenario in

00:36:11.760 which Trump,

00:36:13.000 in the office

00:36:13.660 of the

00:36:14.020 president, the

00:36:15.140 most watched

00:36:16.120 office there

00:36:17.260 could ever be,

00:36:18.640 that he

00:36:19.100 planned and

00:36:19.960 executed an

00:36:20.740 insurrection

00:36:21.260 and left no

00:36:23.600 evidence?

00:36:25.120 Now, the

00:36:25.500 evidence they

00:36:26.040 have all

00:36:27.020 suggests another

00:36:27.880 motive.

00:36:29.340 All of it.

00:36:30.360 It's all

00:36:30.820 consistent with

00:36:31.620 exactly what he

00:36:32.500 said he wanted,

00:36:33.180 fraudulent,

00:36:33.820 which is to

00:36:34.540 delay the

00:36:36.380 certification for

00:36:37.460 an audit because

00:36:38.860 it looked fraudulent.

00:36:40.340 A lot of the

00:36:40.740 country thought it

00:36:41.380 looked fraudulent.

00:36:42.580 Wouldn't it be

00:36:43.180 better if the

00:36:43.840 Republican knew the

00:36:44.860 election was good?

00:36:45.680 So, if you

00:36:47.840 believe that had

00:36:49.200 they delayed and

00:36:50.340 audited, that

00:36:51.860 Trump would have

00:36:52.460 then said,

00:36:53.060 well, that

00:36:54.320 doesn't count,

00:36:55.020 I'm overthrowing

00:36:55.640 the country

00:36:56.020 anyway, that

00:36:57.700 is a big

00:36:58.360 leap.

00:36:59.420 That is a big

00:37:00.180 leap because

00:37:01.820 there's no

00:37:02.520 evidence that he

00:37:03.160 could have or

00:37:03.740 would have stayed

00:37:04.240 in office.

00:37:04.720 He had no

00:37:05.180 support within

00:37:07.140 his own

00:37:07.720 administration,

00:37:08.460 except for the

00:37:08.960 lawyers who get

00:37:09.600 paid to say

00:37:10.620 whatever you

00:37:10.980 want.

00:37:11.160 He had no

00:37:12.460 support for

00:37:13.600 staying in

00:37:14.080 office if the

00:37:14.720 election said

00:37:15.320 otherwise.

00:37:16.240 No support.

00:37:17.480 We know that.

00:37:18.200 That's an

00:37:19.060 evidence now.

00:37:21.940 So, how do

00:37:22.460 you believe

00:37:23.100 somebody says

00:37:26.500 the 2,000

00:37:27.220 mules thing

00:37:27.800 made the

00:37:28.520 but the

00:37:30.200 trouble is the

00:37:30.680 2,000 mules

00:37:31.420 thing has not

00:37:32.300 passed the

00:37:32.940 credibility check

00:37:33.960 yet.

00:37:34.940 It might.

00:37:36.160 It might.

00:37:36.980 but without

00:37:38.720 video evidence

00:37:39.580 of the same

00:37:40.040 people going

00:37:40.620 over and over

00:37:41.140 to some boxes

00:37:42.680 in some volume

00:37:43.680 that would

00:37:44.060 suggest the

00:37:45.160 larger claim

00:37:45.920 is true.

00:37:46.740 Without that,

00:37:48.400 you're right up

00:37:49.460 to a point of

00:37:51.540 having evidence

00:37:52.220 but you don't

00:37:53.020 quite.

00:37:54.100 You don't

00:37:54.340 quite.

00:37:54.840 You're almost

00:37:55.240 there.

00:37:56.520 It's very

00:37:57.040 provocative.

00:37:57.980 It raises

00:37:58.700 red flags as

00:37:59.720 everybody says

00:38:00.300 but it's not

00:38:02.720 there for me.

00:38:04.000 For me, the

00:38:04.600 2,000 mules

00:38:05.440 goes right up to

00:38:06.940 the line but

00:38:08.260 does not

00:38:08.720 present evidence.

00:38:10.400 Now, you could

00:38:10.820 argue what

00:38:11.280 evidence means

00:38:12.040 because it does

00:38:12.820 present evidence.

00:38:14.160 Let me modify

00:38:14.880 that.

00:38:15.560 It presents

00:38:16.080 what it would

00:38:16.960 the movie

00:38:18.940 presents what

00:38:19.960 it interprets

00:38:20.960 as solid

00:38:22.680 evidence.

00:38:24.280 I look at

00:38:25.020 it and I

00:38:25.520 say, that's

00:38:26.860 evidence but

00:38:28.600 it's definitely

00:38:29.120 not proof because

00:38:30.300 you can have

00:38:30.740 evidence of

00:38:31.320 things that

00:38:32.220 turns out not

00:38:32.960 to be true.

00:38:34.200 So, evidence

00:38:35.120 doesn't mean

00:38:35.720 true.

00:38:36.000 evidence means

00:38:37.180 you'd better

00:38:38.640 find out if

00:38:39.200 it's true.

00:38:42.960 Yes.

00:38:44.600 All right.

00:38:46.480 So, that would

00:38:47.260 be pretty amazing

00:38:47.960 if you did that

00:38:48.660 without leaving

00:38:49.440 any evidence.

00:38:50.880 So, apparently

00:38:51.440 there's a

00:38:51.980 competitor to

00:38:52.780 Neuralink,

00:38:54.460 Elon Musk's

00:38:55.440 company that

00:38:56.040 wants to put a

00:38:56.760 chip in your

00:38:57.300 skull and have

00:38:59.080 it communicate

00:38:59.580 with your brain.

00:39:00.820 But already,

00:39:01.940 as in this is

00:39:02.860 not the

00:39:03.220 theoretical,

00:39:04.260 this is already

00:39:05.040 happening or

00:39:05.920 already happened,

00:39:06.760 a company,

00:39:08.440 let's see,

00:39:09.100 so doctors at

00:39:09.740 Mount Sinai,

00:39:10.540 this is the new

00:39:11.120 company whose

00:39:11.620 name I'll think

00:39:12.260 of in a minute,

00:39:13.020 it's written down

00:39:13.520 here somewhere.

00:39:14.900 Anyway, this

00:39:15.500 new company

00:39:16.080 put some

00:39:18.000 electrodes into

00:39:19.160 blood vessels

00:39:20.820 in the brain

00:39:21.480 of a patient

00:39:22.040 with ALS.

00:39:23.040 So, these people

00:39:23.840 were paralyzed,

00:39:25.060 so they couldn't

00:39:26.040 communicate.

00:39:26.560 And they

00:39:28.080 learned through

00:39:29.520 this device

00:39:31.400 inserted into

00:39:32.460 their brain,

00:39:35.380 I guess,

00:39:36.140 yeah, into

00:39:36.520 their brain,

00:39:37.280 they learned to

00:39:38.120 send WhatsApp

00:39:38.660 messages with

00:39:40.320 their mind,

00:39:42.580 hello,

00:39:44.200 successfully.

00:39:46.020 People who

00:39:47.160 are paralyzed

00:39:48.920 are ordering

00:39:51.420 products on the

00:39:52.400 internet and

00:39:53.140 sending WhatsApp

00:39:54.000 messages with

00:39:55.700 their fucking 0.62

00:39:56.340 minds.

00:39:58.640 Hello.

00:40:01.740 What?

00:40:03.100 They're sending

00:40:03.940 messages with

00:40:04.980 their minds.

00:40:07.700 Oh, no.

00:40:09.660 That's amazing.

00:40:12.920 Now, I don't

00:40:13.860 know what that

00:40:14.420 means.

00:40:14.860 I don't think it

00:40:15.660 means they think

00:40:16.280 the words and

00:40:17.620 then the words

00:40:18.180 appear, do you?

00:40:19.340 I think it

00:40:19.920 probably means

00:40:20.580 they're moving a

00:40:21.260 cursor to select

00:40:22.920 letters, probably.

00:40:24.980 What do you

00:40:25.620 think?

00:40:27.880 I think it's

00:40:28.560 something like

00:40:28.880 that, but

00:40:29.760 that's just a

00:40:30.620 guess.

00:40:31.400 I think at some

00:40:32.180 point they'll be

00:40:32.740 able to think

00:40:33.920 words and have

00:40:34.680 them appear.

00:40:35.880 But I think if

00:40:36.560 you try to think

00:40:37.920 words and have

00:40:38.540 them appear, you

00:40:39.440 have the risk of

00:40:40.300 your naughty

00:40:42.400 thoughts appearing

00:40:43.620 on the screen, I

00:40:44.300 suppose.

00:40:45.900 You wouldn't

00:40:46.740 want my thoughts

00:40:48.520 turned into text.

00:40:50.340 Can you imagine

00:40:50.820 that?

00:40:52.860 I'd be like,

00:40:55.040 yeah, would

00:40:56.420 you mind

00:40:57.100 picking up

00:40:58.040 some milk

00:41:00.000 threesome

00:41:02.400 involved?

00:41:02.880 No, no.

00:41:03.760 Pick up the

00:41:04.340 milk.

00:41:06.580 Rapid, no,

00:41:08.180 no, no.

00:41:10.400 You know where

00:41:11.240 that was going.

00:41:12.060 You don't need

00:41:12.520 any examples.

00:41:14.140 All right.

00:41:14.420 They'll never

00:41:18.880 tell you what

00:41:19.420 to say, will

00:41:19.940 they?

00:41:20.680 Huh?

00:41:21.880 I wonder if

00:41:22.780 they could also

00:41:23.360 pick up

00:41:23.880 propaganda.

00:41:25.620 All right,

00:41:26.000 here's

00:41:26.520 something.

00:41:27.520 How about

00:41:28.040 an app?

00:41:29.660 Start writing

00:41:30.380 an app today

00:41:31.200 for a technology

00:41:32.300 that doesn't

00:41:32.820 exist yet,

00:41:33.500 which is, it

00:41:34.580 exists, but

00:41:35.060 it's too early.

00:41:36.100 So I assume

00:41:37.520 that these

00:41:38.200 implants in the

00:41:41.180 brains, whether

00:41:41.680 it's Neuralink

00:41:42.680 or other, would

00:41:43.220 work on apps,

00:41:44.200 right?

00:41:45.340 Is that a good

00:41:46.080 assumption or

00:41:46.580 no?

00:41:47.360 That once you

00:41:48.000 have a Neuralink

00:41:49.300 connected to your

00:41:50.180 brain, there's

00:41:52.180 more than one

00:41:52.880 app that will

00:41:53.620 connect to it.

00:41:54.280 Am I right?

00:41:56.000 So you could

00:41:56.540 write an app.

00:41:57.160 Could you not

00:41:57.800 write an app to

00:41:59.060 protect you from

00:42:00.420 propaganda?

00:42:02.320 Huh?

00:42:03.820 I'll bet you

00:42:04.400 could.

00:42:05.360 I'll bet you

00:42:06.060 could write a

00:42:06.760 Neuralink or

00:42:08.200 whatever company

00:42:08.900 this is.

00:42:09.420 I should say

00:42:10.040 the name.

00:42:10.540 Synchron, S-Y-M-C-H-R-O-N. 1.00

00:42:17.640 So that's a

00:42:18.140 startup, Synchron.

00:42:20.520 So already

00:42:23.320 implanted in four

00:42:24.900 patients in

00:42:25.460 Australia.

00:42:26.220 They've already

00:42:26.520 had it in.

00:42:27.280 The side effects

00:42:28.240 are minimal, I

00:42:28.900 guess.

00:42:31.040 So could you

00:42:33.480 write an app that

00:42:34.360 would protect the

00:42:35.220 wearer from

00:42:35.780 propaganda?

00:42:36.240 I say yes.

00:42:38.740 Do you know

00:42:40.560 how?

00:42:41.540 You could just

00:42:42.300 have all

00:42:42.980 information on

00:42:43.640 social media

00:42:44.200 tagged by some

00:42:47.340 trusted entity.

00:42:48.960 Fact checkers are

00:42:49.980 sketchy.

00:42:51.420 But you could have

00:42:52.220 some entity saying,

00:42:53.240 no, the headline

00:42:53.900 does not match the

00:42:54.720 story.

00:42:56.160 Suppose you just

00:42:56.820 knew that.

00:42:57.980 Suppose you're

00:42:59.340 reading a story and

00:43:00.640 you come across a

00:43:01.960 CNN headline and

00:43:03.660 as you're reading

00:43:04.520 it, your Neuralink

00:43:06.020 thing is connected

00:43:07.480 to the internet,

00:43:08.700 it picks up some

00:43:09.560 information that

00:43:10.560 the title of the

00:43:13.040 story doesn't match

00:43:13.740 the content and

00:43:15.040 it just shows up

00:43:16.320 that way to you.

00:43:18.020 So you're reading

00:43:18.660 it and suddenly a

00:43:19.640 tag shows up that

00:43:20.560 says, headline does

00:43:21.860 not match the

00:43:22.600 story.

00:43:24.800 Wouldn't you love

00:43:25.440 that?

00:43:27.840 Wouldn't you love

00:43:28.600 that?

00:43:29.620 Now that would

00:43:30.400 still make you read

00:43:31.340 the story if you

00:43:32.140 wanted to find out

00:43:32.760 what that means.

00:43:33.560 So you'd still be

00:43:34.380 left to your own

00:43:35.220 devices to

00:43:36.900 determine if it's

00:43:37.700 really propaganda.

00:43:39.460 But wouldn't you

00:43:40.140 like it flagged?

00:43:41.640 You know,

00:43:41.860 people say the

00:43:43.760 headline doesn't

00:43:44.800 match the story.

00:43:45.880 That would be

00:43:46.220 useful.

00:43:47.300 How about you

00:43:48.620 read a story and

00:43:49.760 then the chip

00:43:50.380 suddenly just gives

00:43:51.920 you this idea.

00:43:53.700 Wait a minute.

00:43:54.760 I haven't seen the

00:43:55.560 other side.

00:43:56.960 And that's all it

00:43:57.600 does.

00:43:58.900 You know, you're

00:43:59.500 looking at a story

00:44:00.280 and it just says,

00:44:01.880 wait a minute, you 0.59

00:44:02.580 haven't heard the

00:44:03.040 other argument.

00:44:03.520 And it just plays

00:44:04.660 that whenever you're

00:44:05.340 looking at a story.

00:44:07.480 I mean, that would

00:44:08.220 be annoying after a

00:44:09.080 while, but that's

00:44:10.320 what plays in my

00:44:11.020 head.

00:44:11.880 That's already

00:44:12.500 playing in my head,

00:44:13.240 so I wouldn't even

00:44:14.040 notice.

00:44:15.360 It's a very slippery

00:44:16.500 slope until the

00:44:18.040 machines control us.

00:44:19.160 That is correct.

00:44:20.300 Yeah, this, I

00:44:21.840 think you can say

00:44:23.900 with some certainty

00:44:24.740 now that the

00:44:25.380 machines will be

00:44:26.200 making our

00:44:26.680 decisions.

00:44:29.180 I wasn't sure

00:44:30.060 that I could say

00:44:30.740 that with complete

00:44:31.440 certainty, but now

00:44:33.060 I think I can.

00:44:34.540 So human

00:44:35.660 evolution will

00:44:37.920 get rid of our

00:44:39.360 faulty senses

00:44:41.660 and decision

00:44:42.300 making.

00:44:43.180 We will hand

00:44:44.240 off our decision

00:44:44.980 making to the

00:44:45.620 machines.

00:44:46.840 That's going to

00:44:47.540 happen.

00:44:48.800 Now, that doesn't

00:44:49.660 mean that you will

00:44:50.400 be unable to

00:44:51.880 make your own

00:44:52.340 decision.

00:44:52.840 So I'm not saying

00:44:53.460 you'll be unable.

00:44:54.980 I'm saying you'll

00:44:55.760 be so persuaded

00:44:56.820 that you won't

00:44:58.060 even really consider

00:44:58.880 it.

00:44:59.120 In the same

00:45:00.500 way, are CNN

00:45:01.420 users able to

00:45:02.900 see real news?

00:45:04.580 Well, are they?

00:45:06.620 Is a CNN

00:45:07.300 viewer able to

00:45:10.040 see that they're

00:45:10.820 being propagandized

00:45:12.240 as opposed to

00:45:12.940 informed?

00:45:13.440 Are they able?

00:45:14.660 You could argue

00:45:15.620 that they have

00:45:16.160 brains and they're

00:45:17.520 educated and that

00:45:18.680 they're able, but

00:45:20.060 are they?

00:45:21.320 Are they?

00:45:22.520 Are they really

00:45:23.500 able?

00:45:23.820 Because the

00:45:24.520 evidence would

00:45:25.080 suggest no, that

00:45:26.960 the ability to do

00:45:28.020 something is

00:45:28.500 unrelated to

00:45:29.400 whether they

00:45:29.840 actually do it.

00:45:31.340 Right?

00:45:31.560 Because free will

00:45:32.620 is an illusion.

00:45:34.000 So it doesn't

00:45:34.560 matter if you're

00:45:35.280 capable of it if

00:45:37.140 you're not going

00:45:37.740 to do it.

00:45:39.560 Right?

00:45:40.220 So would you be

00:45:41.600 capable of

00:45:42.600 overruling your

00:45:43.840 Apple Watch that

00:45:45.240 tells you to take

00:45:46.500 more steps?

00:45:47.840 Yes.

00:45:48.560 You're capable.

00:45:50.000 Are you going

00:45:50.500 to do it?

00:45:51.620 Are you going

00:45:52.380 to do it?

00:45:53.820 How many of

00:45:54.280 you have had

00:45:54.920 your, let's

00:45:56.120 say, sport

00:45:56.660 watch or

00:45:57.120 whatever, tell

00:45:58.160 you to take

00:45:58.740 more steps and

00:46:00.240 then you

00:46:00.620 didn't?

00:46:02.220 That you

00:46:02.520 didn't?

00:46:03.760 I'll bet after

00:46:04.420 a while every

00:46:05.120 one of you take

00:46:05.760 more steps when

00:46:06.540 your watch tells

00:46:07.240 you to do it.

00:46:07.720 You might not

00:46:08.140 get enough.

00:46:09.240 You still might

00:46:09.720 be short.

00:46:10.420 But I'll bet

00:46:10.900 every one of you

00:46:11.800 takes the stairs

00:46:12.680 or does some

00:46:13.880 little thing when

00:46:14.580 your watch tells

00:46:15.240 you you're short.

00:46:17.080 Could you ignore

00:46:17.900 it?

00:46:19.420 Now the people

00:46:19.980 who have ignored

00:46:20.520 it every time have

00:46:21.500 not been hypnotized

00:46:22.960 by it.

00:46:23.360 But once you

00:46:24.460 become, let's

00:46:25.460 say, acclimated

00:46:26.620 or a habit is

00:46:28.580 formed, you're

00:46:29.940 going to lose

00:46:30.420 the distinction

00:46:31.200 between is it

00:46:33.340 your choice or

00:46:34.040 the machine's

00:46:34.660 choice.

00:46:35.940 And I'm here to

00:46:37.180 tell you,

00:46:37.840 absolutely, it's

00:46:39.700 the machine's

00:46:40.360 choice in the

00:46:41.980 long run.

00:46:42.560 In the short

00:46:43.180 run, you won't

00:46:44.080 trust the machine

00:46:44.780 enough.

00:46:45.240 In the long run,

00:46:45.900 you will.

00:46:46.740 Once you trust

00:46:47.660 the machine to

00:46:48.420 make a better

00:46:48.940 decision than you

00:46:49.820 did, and it

00:46:50.860 usually will,

00:46:51.480 that's it.

00:46:53.960 That's it.

00:46:54.960 The machine will

00:46:55.540 make the decision

00:46:56.220 and you will

00:46:56.720 accept it.

00:46:58.500 So yeah, the

00:46:59.460 odds of humans

00:47:00.600 having this free

00:47:02.080 will or this

00:47:02.760 sense of free

00:47:03.360 will, it's

00:47:04.420 really going to

00:47:04.860 come under

00:47:05.260 challenge.

00:47:06.420 But we're not

00:47:07.180 necessarily going

00:47:07.740 to be worse

00:47:08.160 off.

00:47:09.860 So what I'm

00:47:10.880 not saying is

00:47:12.280 that this is a

00:47:13.080 dystopian nightmare

00:47:14.620 and we're

00:47:15.360 all going to

00:47:15.660 become soulless

00:47:17.740 machines, we

00:47:19.240 might just be

00:47:19.800 happier.

00:47:21.260 We might feel

00:47:22.620 that we have

00:47:22.940 more meaning of

00:47:23.700 life.

00:47:24.520 We might feel

00:47:25.120 smarter, happier,

00:47:26.380 healthier, who

00:47:27.020 knows?

00:47:27.580 I'm not saying

00:47:28.200 any of it's bad.

00:47:29.300 I'm just saying

00:47:29.980 that there isn't

00:47:30.500 any chance, really

00:47:32.400 there's no chance,

00:47:33.940 that humans will

00:47:34.700 continue to have

00:47:35.720 the agency of

00:47:36.680 making decisions

00:47:37.500 when the machines

00:47:38.800 will be so much

00:47:39.480 better at it.

00:47:40.400 For us, for our

00:47:42.060 own self-interest,

00:47:43.100 the machines will

00:47:43.600 do a better job.

00:47:44.820 So you will use

00:47:45.840 the machine because

00:47:48.220 it will just be so

00:47:49.020 useful.

00:47:50.140 Let me make an

00:47:51.060 analogy.

00:47:52.600 Do you remember

00:47:53.080 when smartphones

00:47:53.740 first came out?

00:47:55.780 How many people

00:47:56.560 said, I'm not

00:47:59.140 going to get a

00:47:59.560 smartphone.

00:48:00.680 My flip phone

00:48:01.680 does everything I

00:48:02.700 need.

00:48:03.660 Let me tell you,

00:48:04.420 bud, you get your

00:48:05.800 fancy smartphones,

00:48:07.600 I don't need no

00:48:08.340 fancy smartphones.

00:48:09.640 Do you know why?

00:48:10.600 Because I've got a

00:48:11.340 thing called free

00:48:12.240 will.

00:48:12.500 And my free

00:48:13.960 will says, I'm

00:48:15.500 just going to keep

00:48:16.060 buying a phone that

00:48:16.940 does everything I

00:48:17.820 need it to do.

00:48:18.560 I don't need your

00:48:19.260 apps, I don't need

00:48:20.220 your trouble.

00:48:21.120 Don't bother me

00:48:21.960 with your 4G or

00:48:22.960 5G, I don't need

00:48:23.960 that.

00:48:24.240 I just need a

00:48:25.240 flip phone.

00:48:26.580 Remember, a lot of

00:48:27.760 people said that.

00:48:29.340 How many people

00:48:30.240 still have a flip

00:48:31.080 phone?

00:48:32.500 I think you can

00:48:33.380 still buy them,

00:48:34.100 right?

00:48:35.400 Almost none.

00:48:36.300 It's like 2%,

00:48:37.160 right?

00:48:37.800 So, did the

00:48:40.920 people who

00:48:41.860 thought they

00:48:42.640 were going to

00:48:42.940 use flip phones

00:48:43.760 forever, and

00:48:44.840 then, you know,

00:48:45.780 went to the

00:48:46.480 other, is it

00:48:47.400 because they

00:48:49.220 used their

00:48:49.900 willpower, and

00:48:51.780 they said, well,

00:48:53.440 actually, there

00:48:54.260 are lots of

00:48:54.700 apps that would

00:48:55.300 be very helpful.

00:48:56.700 I think I want

00:48:57.420 to use those

00:48:58.020 helpful apps.

00:48:59.980 Probably not.

00:49:01.020 They just got

00:49:01.580 brainwashed into

00:49:02.520 doing what

00:49:03.120 everybody else

00:49:03.720 was doing.

00:49:04.140 So, the

00:49:07.100 technology makes

00:49:07.960 the decisions.

00:49:08.720 We don't make

00:49:09.360 the decisions.

00:49:10.920 We're assigned

00:49:11.420 our decisions

00:49:12.780 for most

00:49:13.400 stuff.

00:49:17.040 All right.

00:49:20.120 Use a flip

00:49:21.000 phone for

00:49:21.480 Ashley Madison

00:49:22.180 and Tinder.

00:49:22.880 Good for you.

00:49:26.620 Is there

00:49:27.360 anything that I

00:49:29.820 failed to

00:49:30.260 mention in

00:49:31.300 this amazing

00:49:31.960 live stream,

00:49:32.960 the highlight

00:49:33.460 of civilization?

00:49:35.440 All right.

00:49:36.220 Here's something

00:49:36.980 I wanted to

00:49:37.800 do, and I'm

00:49:38.840 going to do

00:49:39.040 this live

00:49:39.740 without having

00:49:40.240 thought it

00:49:40.600 out.

00:49:41.300 I'm going to

00:49:41.900 name things

00:49:42.520 that are

00:49:42.840 trending

00:49:43.260 positively,

00:49:44.840 even if only

00:49:45.920 a little bit,

00:49:47.360 meaning the

00:49:47.960 worst may have

00:49:48.660 happened already.

00:49:50.600 Energy prices.

00:49:53.240 Trending

00:49:53.800 positively, albeit

00:49:54.960 just a little

00:49:55.600 bit.

00:49:58.560 Nuclear

00:49:59.160 energy.

00:50:00.680 Trending

00:50:01.120 positive, quite

00:50:02.040 a bit.

00:50:02.460 decoupling

00:50:05.880 from China,

00:50:07.660 moving

00:50:08.580 positively.

00:50:10.680 Bringing

00:50:11.200 manufacturing

00:50:11.880 back to the

00:50:12.420 U.S., I

00:50:13.060 think there's

00:50:13.380 a lot

00:50:13.560 happening,

00:50:14.000 actually.

00:50:16.740 Immigration,

00:50:17.920 this is a

00:50:18.440 tough one,

00:50:19.900 because illegal

00:50:20.900 immigration is

00:50:21.820 the highest

00:50:22.340 it's been,

00:50:23.540 so you'd

00:50:24.000 say, well,

00:50:24.420 that's trending

00:50:24.960 bad.

00:50:26.200 But remember

00:50:27.300 the context.

00:50:29.060 We need

00:50:29.580 labor.

00:50:29.860 We have

00:50:30.340 a labor

00:50:30.700 shortage.

00:50:33.820 It is

00:50:34.500 unchecked

00:50:35.680 immigration

00:50:36.240 as bad

00:50:37.980 as normal

00:50:38.560 when we

00:50:40.140 need it.

00:50:41.380 Now, of

00:50:42.020 course, crime

00:50:42.620 and drugs are

00:50:43.220 coming across.

00:50:43.960 I'm not

00:50:44.220 ignoring it.

00:50:45.320 But it's not

00:50:46.280 what it looks

00:50:46.740 like when

00:50:47.520 you've got

00:50:47.940 an employment

00:50:49.440 problem.

00:50:50.240 It looks

00:50:50.620 different.

00:50:51.660 Because it's

00:50:52.780 illegal, I'm

00:50:53.940 not in favor

00:50:54.460 of it, but

00:50:56.140 we are using

00:50:56.920 it productively.

00:50:57.680 Otherwise,

00:50:58.660 they couldn't

00:50:59.000 come.

00:50:59.720 Well, meaning

00:51:00.400 that they

00:51:00.720 would stop

00:51:01.180 coming if

00:51:02.180 they heard

00:51:02.560 that the

00:51:02.880 people coming

00:51:03.360 weren't getting

00:51:03.860 jobs.

00:51:05.060 Right?

00:51:08.080 This is a

00:51:08.920 cope.

00:51:11.560 What the

00:51:12.260 fuck would I

00:51:12.720 be coping

00:51:13.200 with?

00:51:13.940 Somebody says

00:51:14.560 that this

00:51:14.940 is a

00:51:15.260 cope.

00:51:16.460 That's like

00:51:16.840 the lowest

00:51:17.600 level of

00:51:18.180 political

00:51:18.580 analysis.

00:51:20.320 That's a

00:51:20.940 cope.

00:51:22.220 That's a

00:51:22.620 cope.

00:51:23.440 What the

00:51:23.980 hell am I

00:51:24.340 coping with?

00:51:24.980 I have

00:51:27.000 nothing to

00:51:27.460 cope with.

00:51:28.240 School

00:51:28.520 choice.

00:51:29.560 School

00:51:29.940 choice is

00:51:30.580 trending

00:51:30.860 positive.

00:51:32.640 Right?

00:51:35.840 There are a

00:51:36.660 lot of

00:51:36.960 things trending

00:51:37.520 positive,

00:51:38.120 aren't there?

00:51:38.920 And the

00:51:39.380 things that

00:51:39.740 are not,

00:51:40.900 maybe they

00:51:41.360 don't matter.

00:51:42.520 How about

00:51:42.880 coronavirus?

00:51:43.960 Is it

00:51:44.320 trending

00:51:44.560 positive?

00:51:45.200 No, it's

00:51:45.540 not.

00:51:46.540 At the

00:51:47.040 moment, it

00:51:47.580 looks like

00:51:47.920 infections are

00:51:48.600 up.

00:51:49.700 But the

00:51:50.680 public doesn't

00:51:51.640 care.

00:51:52.000 So, maybe

00:51:53.820 the public

00:51:54.280 is trending

00:51:54.720 positive while

00:51:55.600 the virus is

00:51:56.440 trending up.

00:51:59.140 Deaths are

00:51:59.800 down, right?

00:52:00.560 That's

00:52:00.760 trending

00:52:01.000 positive from

00:52:01.660 coronavirus.

00:52:03.100 Monkeypox,

00:52:04.120 that's more

00:52:04.860 of a wait

00:52:06.100 and see.

00:52:11.720 How about

00:52:12.520 the economy?

00:52:13.640 The economy

00:52:14.180 in general?

00:52:14.680 I think the

00:52:16.220 economy in

00:52:16.900 general is

00:52:18.940 going through

00:52:19.860 a planned

00:52:20.580 slowdown,

00:52:21.400 right?

00:52:22.200 If you're

00:52:22.880 doing a

00:52:23.300 planned

00:52:23.840 slowdown

00:52:24.640 with a

00:52:25.200 strategic

00:52:25.600 purpose,

00:52:26.500 right?

00:52:26.760 We're going

00:52:27.040 to lower

00:52:27.280 inflation.

00:52:28.620 If you're

00:52:29.300 doing a

00:52:29.640 planned

00:52:30.020 slowdown

00:52:30.680 and then

00:52:31.620 you're

00:52:31.840 observing

00:52:32.220 that it's

00:52:32.620 happening,

00:52:34.540 is that

00:52:35.460 trending

00:52:35.740 positively or

00:52:36.540 negatively?

00:52:37.480 Now,

00:52:37.760 normally you'd

00:52:38.320 say,

00:52:38.560 wait,

00:52:38.780 a slowdown

00:52:39.360 is negative,

00:52:40.540 but you

00:52:41.040 have to

00:52:41.400 have them.

00:52:43.380 You can't

00:52:44.060 have a

00:52:44.340 bubble

00:52:44.580 forever.

00:52:45.440 A bubble

00:52:45.860 forever is,

00:52:46.680 you know,

00:52:46.920 that's just

00:52:47.260 asking for

00:52:47.700 trouble.

00:52:48.420 So,

00:52:48.740 if you're

00:52:48.900 doing a

00:52:49.260 planned

00:52:49.680 slowdown

00:52:50.440 and it

00:52:52.300 looks like

00:52:52.740 it's

00:52:52.940 happening,

00:52:54.280 that's

00:52:54.640 kind of

00:52:55.120 positive,

00:52:56.120 trending

00:52:56.560 positive.

00:52:59.220 How about

00:52:59.960 the supply

00:53:00.480 chains?

00:53:01.700 Shouldn't we

00:53:02.360 have been out

00:53:02.960 of everything

00:53:03.440 by now?

00:53:05.100 Feels like

00:53:05.740 it, right?

00:53:06.740 But we're

00:53:07.320 not.

00:53:08.640 I feel like

00:53:09.180 we're not

00:53:09.520 out of

00:53:09.800 everything.

00:53:11.060 So,

00:53:11.660 is that

00:53:12.000 trending

00:53:12.320 positive?

00:53:13.580 It feels

00:53:14.380 like the

00:53:14.780 number of

00:53:15.260 ships

00:53:15.480 waiting

00:53:15.820 actually

00:53:16.160 has

00:53:16.320 gone

00:53:16.520 down,

00:53:16.940 right?

00:53:17.960 Give me

00:53:18.380 a fact

00:53:18.720 check.

00:53:19.100 The number

00:53:19.440 of ships

00:53:19.840 waiting to

00:53:20.340 be unloaded

00:53:21.100 is lower

00:53:22.260 than the

00:53:22.700 peak,

00:53:24.080 right?

00:53:24.640 Trending

00:53:25.080 positive.

00:53:27.580 Technology,

00:53:28.260 trending

00:53:28.460 positive.

00:53:29.720 Our trust

00:53:30.420 of social

00:53:30.880 media is

00:53:32.140 going down.

00:53:33.040 That's a

00:53:33.360 positive

00:53:33.640 trend.

00:53:35.000 How about

00:53:35.540 Republican

00:53:36.360 popularity?

00:53:40.100 Or, let's

00:53:40.500 say,

00:53:40.840 popularity

00:53:41.400 of

00:53:41.960 non-crazy

00:53:43.540 views.

00:53:44.860 A year

00:53:45.240 ago,

00:53:45.920 I would

00:53:46.220 say that

00:53:46.600 the

00:53:46.820 crazies

00:53:47.500 were

00:53:47.940 winning.

00:53:50.640 That the

00:53:51.360 worst ideas

00:53:53.300 were growing

00:53:54.660 in importance.

00:53:56.040 Today, I

00:53:56.600 would say

00:53:56.880 that the

00:53:57.260 worst ideas

00:53:58.120 are reducing

00:53:59.400 in importance.

00:54:01.500 Wouldn't

00:54:02.100 you say?

00:54:04.980 Okay, the

00:54:05.900 trend situation

00:54:06.820 is purely

00:54:07.840 subjective.

00:54:09.340 In my

00:54:09.820 opinion, it's

00:54:10.420 trending

00:54:10.720 positive.

00:54:12.460 You would

00:54:12.940 say it's

00:54:13.280 trending

00:54:13.580 negative,

00:54:14.100 right?

00:54:15.420 That's real

00:54:15.980 subjective.

00:54:19.200 Here's why

00:54:19.800 I think it's

00:54:20.480 trending

00:54:20.720 positive.

00:54:21.940 Every time

00:54:22.500 we have

00:54:22.840 another one

00:54:23.520 of these

00:54:23.760 situations

00:54:24.260 where we

00:54:24.720 say,

00:54:25.480 hey, that

00:54:26.080 group of

00:54:26.560 people,

00:54:27.940 whoever it

00:54:28.460 is,

00:54:28.940 blacks,

00:54:30.160 women, 1.00

00:54:31.120 hey, that

00:54:31.580 group of

00:54:32.000 people, why

00:54:32.580 can't we

00:54:32.960 still discriminate

00:54:34.320 against them?

00:54:35.200 How about

00:54:35.440 gays?

00:54:35.940 Can't we

00:54:36.240 still discriminate

00:54:36.900 against them?

00:54:38.220 Every time

00:54:38.740 we find

00:54:39.140 a new

00:54:39.480 group to

00:54:39.980 say, how

00:54:40.460 about we

00:54:40.800 don't

00:54:41.100 discriminate

00:54:41.520 against them?

00:54:42.540 Now, the

00:54:42.900 trans is

00:54:43.320 tricky, because

00:54:44.700 when you

00:54:45.180 help them,

00:54:46.180 maybe it

00:54:46.680 hurts women,

00:54:47.360 I get it,

00:54:47.900 I get it,

00:54:48.320 there's a

00:54:48.620 trade-off.

00:54:49.580 But I

00:54:49.980 feel like

00:54:50.600 civilization

00:54:52.380 arguing over

00:54:53.300 the trans

00:54:54.020 issue, given

00:54:54.960 the small

00:54:55.900 percentage of

00:54:56.480 people involved,

00:54:58.120 that feels

00:54:58.860 like we're

00:55:00.400 at a healthy

00:55:00.900 place.

00:55:02.080 Because

00:55:02.540 disagreement is

00:55:03.360 not a bad

00:55:03.800 thing.

00:55:05.220 Am I right?

00:55:06.220 Would you

00:55:06.580 agree with me

00:55:07.140 that disagreement

00:55:07.840 is not a

00:55:08.320 bad thing?

00:55:09.380 Because that's

00:55:09.800 how everything

00:55:10.220 moves forward.

00:55:11.620 But this is

00:55:12.740 exactly where

00:55:13.700 we want to

00:55:14.140 be disagreeing.

00:55:15.880 We want to

00:55:16.820 be so

00:55:17.320 agreed that

00:55:18.820 women should 1.00

00:55:20.680 vote.

00:55:22.600 Remember,

00:55:23.240 these are

00:55:23.520 things that

00:55:23.940 we're not

00:55:24.340 agreed at.

00:55:25.360 At one

00:55:25.960 point, women 0.99

00:55:27.520 couldn't vote.

00:55:30.800 Blacks were 1.00

00:55:31.520 slaves and

00:55:32.240 couldn't vote

00:55:32.800 for a long

00:55:33.180 time.

00:55:33.460 look where

00:55:34.280 we've

00:55:34.500 gone.

00:55:35.300 And then

00:55:35.620 LGBTQ rights,

00:55:37.600 mostly gay

00:55:38.140 rights, much

00:55:38.980 improved.

00:55:40.120 If we've

00:55:40.820 gone all

00:55:41.680 the way,

00:55:42.560 all the way

00:55:43.560 through that

00:55:44.040 stuff, and

00:55:45.020 the last

00:55:45.520 thing we're

00:55:45.900 talking about

00:55:46.440 is trans,

00:55:47.820 because it's

00:55:48.320 the hardest

00:55:48.740 one.

00:55:50.620 It's the

00:55:51.240 hardest one,

00:55:51.860 because you

00:55:52.540 can't really

00:55:52.960 balance everybody's

00:55:53.900 interests just

00:55:54.960 the way you'd

00:55:55.420 want to.

00:55:56.420 So when I

00:55:58.060 see us arguing

00:55:58.720 about trans,

00:56:00.540 I say,

00:56:01.520 let's give

00:56:02.460 ourselves a

00:56:02.980 pat on the

00:56:03.520 back.

00:56:04.200 People.

00:56:05.380 People.

00:56:06.560 If we've

00:56:07.460 gone all

00:56:08.040 the way to,

00:56:09.100 well, of

00:56:09.440 course, everybody's

00:56:10.900 equal gender

00:56:11.980 wise, and

00:56:12.800 of course

00:56:13.240 everybody's

00:56:13.740 equal color

00:56:15.060 wise and

00:56:15.700 ethnicity, we've

00:56:17.080 completely dropped

00:56:17.960 those as, of

00:56:19.340 course, gay 0.96

00:56:20.160 marriage.

00:56:21.160 Maybe the

00:56:21.740 states should

00:56:22.240 decide, but

00:56:22.920 who's arguing

00:56:23.880 against it,

00:56:24.760 really?

00:56:26.320 Who's arguing

00:56:27.180 against interracial 1.00

00:56:28.960 marriage?

00:56:30.180 Basically nobody

00:56:31.200 that matters.

00:56:32.460 Right?

00:56:34.860 So you

00:56:35.540 could look at

00:56:36.000 the debate

00:56:36.800 over trans 0.96

00:56:37.400 as a negative

00:56:38.020 trend, because

00:56:39.860 you say, oh,

00:56:40.900 it's bad for

00:56:41.840 women. 0.81

00:56:42.280 I get your

00:56:42.880 argument.

00:56:43.680 I'm not pushing

00:56:44.520 back about the

00:56:45.320 things you

00:56:46.160 observe, but

00:56:47.700 just think about

00:56:48.480 the fact that

00:56:50.280 humanity has

00:56:52.120 evolved for,

00:56:53.080 you know, I'm

00:56:54.480 going to say

00:56:54.920 over 13

00:56:56.340 billion years,

00:56:57.060 because I

00:56:57.340 include pre-life,

00:56:58.580 trans, but

00:56:59.340 all of that

00:56:59.940 evolution, and

00:57:01.460 you're alive, you

00:57:03.360 get to be alive

00:57:04.340 when we go all

00:57:06.060 the way to, let's

00:57:06.920 talk about

00:57:07.360 trans, because 0.98

00:57:08.700 we've settled

00:57:09.180 everything else.

00:57:10.520 Everything else

00:57:11.100 is settled.

00:57:12.380 That's all we

00:57:13.080 have left.

00:57:15.040 You know, you

00:57:16.660 know what we

00:57:17.080 should be doing?

00:57:18.520 We should be

00:57:19.360 giving a big

00:57:20.220 fucking party for

00:57:22.380 the trans

00:57:22.940 community.

00:57:23.460 Do you know

00:57:24.840 why?

00:57:26.220 Because it's

00:57:26.700 our last fight.

00:57:28.900 It's our last

00:57:29.540 fight.

00:57:30.480 We should be

00:57:31.140 smiling over

00:57:32.620 this one.

00:57:33.820 This is the one

00:57:34.700 where we should

00:57:35.200 be accepting

00:57:35.700 victory, everybody.

00:57:38.180 Trans should

00:57:38.720 accept victory,

00:57:39.540 because we're

00:57:39.860 talking about

00:57:40.380 them, right?

00:57:42.140 If you're

00:57:42.780 talking about

00:57:43.440 their problem,

00:57:45.420 let's say not

00:57:46.180 problem, if

00:57:46.980 you're talking

00:57:47.280 about the

00:57:47.640 trans situation,

00:57:50.060 you're doing

00:57:50.800 what they want

00:57:51.440 you to do, so

00:57:53.100 they're feeling

00:57:53.740 some progress.

00:57:54.460 If you're

00:57:54.720 talking about

00:57:55.180 us, we feel

00:57:55.740 progress.

00:57:56.740 You know what

00:57:57.180 I feel?

00:57:58.140 I feel amazing

00:57:59.260 progress, because

00:58:00.800 it's our last

00:58:01.740 fight.

00:58:02.900 And this one's

00:58:04.380 fair.

00:58:05.800 You know what?

00:58:06.260 This is a fair

00:58:06.900 fight.

00:58:07.640 Because the

00:58:08.160 discussion about

00:58:08.980 do you do

00:58:10.420 something that

00:58:11.040 women would 1.00

00:58:11.600 consider degrading

00:58:13.440 to women,

00:58:14.320 degrading to,

00:58:15.340 not degrading in

00:58:16.560 terms of

00:58:17.020 humiliation, but

00:58:18.280 degrading in the

00:58:19.500 sense that they're

00:58:20.180 losing something,

00:58:21.560 that's the

00:58:22.340 discussion to

00:58:22.980 have.

00:58:24.100 And no matter

00:58:24.640 which way you

00:58:25.200 come down on

00:58:25.840 it, let's

00:58:27.200 agree, that is

00:58:28.820 a good human

00:58:29.740 discussion.

00:58:30.820 Human beings

00:58:31.660 should be saying,

00:58:32.480 yeah, we've got

00:58:33.540 these interests,

00:58:34.580 these are people

00:58:35.160 who matter, and

00:58:36.420 then you have

00:58:36.780 these other

00:58:37.180 side of interests,

00:58:37.900 and these people

00:58:38.440 matter too, so

00:58:39.580 let's talk about

00:58:40.200 it.

00:58:40.700 Oh my God, we've

00:58:42.140 never been in

00:58:42.680 better shape.

00:58:43.740 We have never

00:58:44.500 been in better

00:58:45.220 shape than when

00:58:46.700 we're arguing

00:58:47.320 about the trans

00:58:48.180 issue.

00:58:48.940 That is our

00:58:49.760 pinnacle of

00:58:50.580 best.

00:58:52.340 I'm not

00:58:53.340 wrong.

00:58:54.880 I'm not

00:58:55.500 wrong.

00:58:56.200 If you're

00:58:56.760 arguing about

00:58:57.420 trans, pat

00:58:58.760 yourself on the

00:58:59.480 fucking back, you

00:59:00.380 won.

00:59:02.080 It's the last

00:59:02.920 fight, it's

00:59:04.000 worth having,

00:59:05.120 completely worth

00:59:05.860 having, and

00:59:07.320 it's special.

00:59:08.960 It's like the

00:59:10.000 exception that

00:59:10.820 finally told us

00:59:12.680 something.

00:59:12.980 All right, if

00:59:13.380 that's all you

00:59:13.820 got left, if

00:59:15.080 that's all you

00:59:15.620 got left, you're

00:59:17.200 in good shape.

00:59:17.720 somebody else

00:59:21.880 says, no, it's

00:59:22.480 the end of

00:59:22.880 the road for

00:59:23.560 our moral

00:59:24.140 collapse.

00:59:26.260 Is it?

00:59:27.820 Really?

00:59:30.100 Let me point

00:59:31.100 to argue

00:59:32.400 against the

00:59:33.120 argument that

00:59:33.920 the trans

00:59:34.580 issue is an

00:59:36.140 indication of

00:59:36.920 our impending

00:59:37.800 moral collapse.

00:59:38.740 I offer you

00:59:40.340 100% of

00:59:42.500 everything that's

00:59:43.100 happened up

00:59:43.860 till now.

00:59:45.640 Every generation

00:59:46.560 believed that

00:59:47.400 they were

00:59:47.660 witnessing the

00:59:48.380 moral collapse

00:59:49.140 of the next

00:59:49.720 generation.

00:59:50.260 You know

00:59:51.540 that's true.

00:59:53.380 You know

00:59:53.860 that's true.

00:59:55.980 Every generation

00:59:57.140 believed they

00:59:57.860 were witnessing

00:59:58.520 the moral

00:59:59.340 collapse.

01:00:00.220 Yeah, Elvis.

01:00:01.940 Oh, it's all

01:00:02.660 going to collapse

01:00:03.180 now.

01:00:04.520 You know, my

01:00:04.920 generation was

01:00:05.660 good, but

01:00:06.700 these kids,

01:00:08.060 they got their

01:00:08.620 moral collapse

01:00:09.500 coming.

01:00:10.760 Now, maybe it's

01:00:11.680 going to be right

01:00:12.200 one of these

01:00:12.720 days.

01:00:15.040 Somebody said

01:00:15.740 the collapse of

01:00:16.380 Rome.

01:00:16.740 I don't think

01:00:17.200 Rome had a

01:00:17.960 moral problem.

01:00:19.340 I don't think

01:00:19.700 that's why it

01:00:20.160 collapsed.

01:00:21.900 I'm no

01:00:22.320 historian, but

01:00:23.020 I don't think

01:00:23.600 this analogy

01:00:24.440 is telling

01:00:25.340 you anything.

01:00:26.440 Now, I

01:00:26.900 think that

01:00:27.580 we're morally

01:00:28.320 stronger than

01:00:28.980 we've ever

01:00:29.400 been.

01:00:30.760 It doesn't

01:00:31.160 feel like it,

01:00:31.740 does it?

01:00:32.320 It's because

01:00:32.940 we're arguing

01:00:33.540 more that the

01:00:34.340 news has us

01:00:34.940 all whipped

01:00:35.460 up, but

01:00:36.580 morally and

01:00:37.240 ethically, we

01:00:37.920 are at the

01:00:38.460 strongest point

01:00:39.280 in a human

01:00:40.200 civilization, by

01:00:41.260 far.

01:00:42.080 By far, it's

01:00:42.720 not even close.

01:00:45.280 Now, we're

01:00:46.020 not close to

01:00:47.280 where we want

01:00:47.820 to be, perhaps,

01:00:48.840 but look where

01:00:49.540 we came

01:00:49.960 from.

01:00:50.640 My God.

01:00:53.900 Scott still

01:00:54.780 thinks trans 1.00

01:00:55.600 kids is fake

01:00:56.340 news.

01:00:57.040 We'll block

01:00:57.620 you for

01:01:00.080 assigning

01:01:00.680 ridiculous

01:01:01.300 opinions to

01:01:02.020 me.

01:01:03.280 All right.

01:01:03.800 So, when

01:01:04.780 you assign

01:01:05.460 a ridiculous

01:01:05.980 opinion to

01:01:06.660 me, you

01:01:07.880 are hidden

01:01:08.280 from the

01:01:08.720 channel.

01:01:10.560 Assign an

01:01:11.520 opinion to

01:01:11.980 me that

01:01:12.340 isn't fucking

01:01:12.900 stupid, 0.98

01:01:13.420 please.

01:01:15.260 That would

01:01:15.860 be great.

01:01:18.680 Scott can't

01:01:19.400 identify the

01:01:20.060 thing from

01:01:20.540 its opposite.

01:01:21.380 That's a good

01:01:21.840 comment.

01:01:22.660 So, my

01:01:23.220 overall comment

01:01:24.340 is that we

01:01:24.840 can't tell a

01:01:25.660 thing from the

01:01:26.260 opposite of the

01:01:26.820 thing.

01:01:27.700 So, somebody

01:01:28.500 here is

01:01:28.900 saying that

01:01:29.380 the trans is

01:01:30.380 a sign of

01:01:32.660 the end of

01:01:33.600 our moral

01:01:34.280 foundation.

01:01:36.360 And I'm

01:01:37.040 saying it's a

01:01:37.780 sign that we've

01:01:38.320 done everything

01:01:39.020 right up to

01:01:40.300 that point.

01:01:41.240 We really, really

01:01:42.180 did get it right

01:01:43.060 up to that point.

01:01:44.400 And we still got

01:01:45.240 one little thing.

01:01:46.280 Those are

01:01:46.700 opposites.

01:01:48.700 That's actually a

01:01:49.700 perfect...

01:01:50.260 I love that

01:01:50.760 comment.

01:01:51.060 Because think

01:01:52.300 of how many

01:01:52.740 things we're

01:01:53.600 looking at now

01:01:54.260 in the world

01:01:54.800 where we're

01:01:56.360 seeing a thing

01:01:56.940 and its

01:01:57.380 opposite.

01:01:58.760 Did Trump

01:01:59.500 try to save

01:02:00.120 the republic

01:02:00.720 by, you

01:02:02.780 know, pausing

01:02:03.540 to give an

01:02:04.240 audit of what

01:02:04.920 looked like it

01:02:05.540 could have been

01:02:06.100 a rigged

01:02:06.840 election?

01:02:07.480 We don't have

01:02:07.980 proof of that.

01:02:09.460 But...

01:02:10.020 Or was he

01:02:11.300 running an

01:02:11.860 insurrection to

01:02:12.620 take over and

01:02:13.460 he was ignoring

01:02:14.220 democracy?

01:02:15.560 Those are

01:02:15.960 opposites.

01:02:17.220 And we can't

01:02:17.720 tell the difference.

01:02:18.860 You know, maybe

01:02:19.220 you can.

01:02:20.060 But the public

01:02:20.900 is having

01:02:21.300 trouble

01:02:21.700 distinguishing

01:02:22.860 opposites.

01:02:24.260 I mean, you

01:02:24.660 couldn't get

01:02:25.000 more opposite

01:02:25.640 than saving

01:02:27.080 the republic

01:02:27.660 versus destroying

01:02:28.900 it.

01:02:29.600 Those are

01:02:29.980 opposites.

01:02:30.840 And I don't

01:02:31.460 know that we

01:02:31.960 ever were all

01:02:34.040 the way to

01:02:34.840 opposites.

01:02:36.840 Usually we

01:02:37.720 disagreed on

01:02:38.520 some facts and

01:02:39.320 stuff, but

01:02:39.800 opposites?

01:02:40.460 This is new.

01:02:44.460 All right.

01:02:45.100 after the

01:02:50.940 viral Bill

01:02:51.560 said, it's

01:02:53.240 okay to ask

01:02:53.880 questions when

01:02:54.600 children are

01:02:55.280 involved.

01:02:55.900 I don't

01:02:56.080 know the

01:02:56.340 context of

01:02:56.900 that.

01:02:59.380 All right,

01:02:59.900 here's another

01:03:00.420 prediction.

01:03:03.720 Remember at

01:03:04.300 the beginning of

01:03:04.740 the pandemic, I

01:03:05.480 told you that

01:03:06.100 leadership would

01:03:07.240 not show up in

01:03:08.160 the results.

01:03:10.560 What do you

01:03:11.140 think?

01:03:12.000 I said leadership

01:03:13.020 would not show up

01:03:13.960 in the final

01:03:14.440 results.

01:03:15.540 Now New

01:03:15.940 Zealand's got a

01:03:16.560 problem, China's 0.99

01:03:17.580 got a problem.

01:03:19.840 What do you

01:03:20.400 think?

01:03:21.380 Now I think you

01:03:22.200 could make an

01:03:22.680 argument that

01:03:23.560 DeSantis'

01:03:24.440 leadership worked.

01:03:25.920 I'm going to

01:03:26.600 push back

01:03:27.740 against that.

01:03:30.620 Do you all

01:03:31.440 accept?

01:03:32.620 This will be

01:03:33.160 fun.

01:03:34.040 There's something

01:03:34.580 that I believe

01:03:35.140 that all

01:03:35.480 Republicans seem

01:03:36.440 to accept that

01:03:37.380 I'm going to

01:03:37.800 call fake.

01:03:39.220 You believe

01:03:40.120 that DeSantis

01:03:41.080 did a better

01:03:42.080 job protecting

01:03:43.420 the elderly.

01:03:44.900 Correct?

01:03:46.800 You believe

01:03:47.660 that DeSantis

01:03:48.640 did a better

01:03:49.260 job of

01:03:49.800 protecting the

01:03:50.420 elderly, which

01:03:51.280 was the right

01:03:51.720 thing to do,

01:03:52.460 and that

01:03:53.180 Governor Cuomo

01:03:54.320 did a bad

01:03:55.080 job.

01:03:57.380 Here's what I

01:03:58.140 think.

01:03:59.300 I think that

01:04:00.040 there were

01:04:00.480 some government

01:04:02.980 officials below

01:04:04.920 the governor

01:04:05.560 level that did

01:04:07.280 a good job in

01:04:08.000 Florida, and

01:04:09.400 there were some

01:04:09.780 people below

01:04:10.380 the governor

01:04:10.940 level in New

01:04:11.840 York that

01:04:12.260 fucked up badly. 0.96

01:04:13.420 And in both

01:04:14.340 cases, the

01:04:15.040 governor gets

01:04:15.600 the blame or

01:04:16.420 the credit.

01:04:17.680 I don't

01:04:18.480 believe that

01:04:19.500 Governor Cuomo

01:04:20.300 himself ever

01:04:21.180 said, you

01:04:21.560 know what, let's

01:04:23.040 put these sick

01:04:23.620 people back in

01:04:24.380 the nursing

01:04:24.880 homes.

01:04:25.960 Nor do I

01:04:26.880 believe that

01:04:27.800 Governor DeSantis

01:04:28.780 ever had an

01:04:29.740 occasion to

01:04:31.140 look over what

01:04:31.960 was happening

01:04:32.380 and say, wait

01:04:32.900 a minute, are

01:04:33.880 you putting

01:04:34.300 these sick

01:04:34.760 people back

01:04:35.340 in these

01:04:37.900 homes?

01:04:39.080 Probably they

01:04:40.000 told him.

01:04:40.680 probably DeSantis

01:04:43.180 staff said, we're

01:04:44.380 not going to put

01:04:44.860 these people back

01:04:45.580 in those homes.

01:04:46.820 Here's why.

01:04:48.160 And then DeSantis

01:04:48.940 probably said, I'm

01:04:50.680 getting a fact

01:04:51.200 check on this, so I

01:04:51.840 might be wrong.

01:04:53.740 DeSantis probably

01:04:54.540 said, I agree with

01:04:55.460 my experts, go do

01:04:56.480 the right thing.

01:04:59.520 So here's the

01:05:00.300 question.

01:05:01.260 Did both of the

01:05:02.040 governors rely on

01:05:03.340 their experts?

01:05:05.460 Let me boil it

01:05:06.380 down to that

01:05:06.800 question.

01:05:07.140 And I did a

01:05:08.900 fact check on

01:05:09.420 this because I'm

01:05:10.200 a little murky on

01:05:11.020 some of the

01:05:12.880 details.

01:05:13.740 Did both

01:05:14.260 governors rely on

01:05:15.900 their experts,

01:05:17.240 their local

01:05:17.740 experts?

01:05:20.060 If they did, they

01:05:21.100 performed the

01:05:21.660 same.

01:05:23.960 Right?

01:05:26.700 And do you

01:05:27.400 know that?

01:05:28.300 Do you know

01:05:29.040 the answer?

01:05:30.140 If they both

01:05:30.860 believed they were

01:05:31.420 experts and then

01:05:32.180 acted on it, they

01:05:32.860 performed the

01:05:33.500 same, but they

01:05:34.040 got very different

01:05:34.600 outcomes.

01:05:35.700 Now, I don't

01:05:36.340 know the answer

01:05:36.880 to that, and

01:05:37.440 here's the thing,

01:05:38.020 you probably don't

01:05:38.840 either, do you?

01:05:40.260 Do you know if

01:05:41.200 one of them ignored

01:05:42.120 the experts and

01:05:42.960 one of them

01:05:43.340 followed the

01:05:43.940 experts?

01:05:44.900 I'll bet that

01:05:45.420 didn't happen.

01:05:46.980 Do you think the

01:05:47.720 experts came to

01:05:48.560 Cuomo and said,

01:05:49.160 look, if you put

01:05:50.020 them back in the

01:05:50.600 nursing homes, it's 0.77

01:05:51.320 a disaster?

01:05:52.820 And then Cuomo

01:05:53.460 said, you know,

01:05:54.560 but I think we

01:05:55.120 should do it

01:05:55.540 anyway.

01:05:56.340 Why?

01:05:56.700 Why?

01:05:58.580 Why would Cuomo

01:05:59.680 overrule his own

01:06:01.520 experts and say, no,

01:06:03.060 put them in the

01:06:03.660 nursing home?

01:06:04.720 Why would he do

01:06:05.340 that?

01:06:06.340 I don't know.

01:06:09.400 But you don't

01:06:10.260 know it either,

01:06:10.800 do you?

01:06:13.240 Maybe he's a

01:06:13.960 criminal, somebody

01:06:14.600 said.

01:06:16.640 Somebody says

01:06:17.320 there's a payoff.

01:06:18.460 I don't know.

01:06:19.160 I don't know.

01:06:20.400 I don't know.

01:06:21.200 My guess is that

01:06:22.200 they both had

01:06:22.800 experts and New

01:06:24.680 York had competent

01:06:25.480 people in that

01:06:26.200 area.

01:06:26.880 They did their

01:06:27.680 thing and it

01:06:28.220 worked out.

01:06:29.480 New York had

01:06:30.080 somebody incompetent 0.67

01:06:31.160 below the

01:06:31.620 governor's level and

01:06:32.420 it didn't work out.

01:06:33.400 Now, I do agree

01:06:34.300 that the governor

01:06:35.160 gets the credit

01:06:35.980 and the governor

01:06:36.560 gets the blame.

01:06:37.840 We do have a

01:06:38.620 system where you

01:06:40.180 give credit and

01:06:40.860 blame even if

01:06:41.680 it's not exactly

01:06:42.500 leadership.

01:06:46.060 So I think the

01:06:46.940 one example that

01:06:47.720 we have where we

01:06:49.760 could say, okay,

01:06:50.540 leadership definitely

01:06:51.280 made a difference in

01:06:52.440 that case.

01:06:53.140 As soon as you

01:06:54.100 drill down, it

01:06:54.960 disappears.

01:06:56.760 Because both the

01:06:57.640 leaders acted the

01:06:58.500 same.

01:06:59.400 They did what their

01:07:00.140 staff told them

01:07:00.860 would work.

01:07:01.360 So if they

01:07:05.240 did, there's no

01:07:06.760 signal for

01:07:07.360 leadership whatsoever.

01:07:09.800 So I'm going to

01:07:10.520 maintain that that

01:07:12.000 exception actually

01:07:13.360 proves my point.

01:07:15.820 That you couldn't

01:07:16.780 see any leadership

01:07:17.500 signal whatsoever.

01:07:20.020 Now, somebody

01:07:21.640 says you're wrong.

01:07:23.560 Wrong about what

01:07:24.440 specifically?

01:07:28.100 Somebody says

01:07:28.940 blindly following

01:07:29.900 experts is a lack

01:07:30.940 of leadership.

01:07:32.240 I will give you

01:07:33.180 that.

01:07:33.980 Blindly following

01:07:34.740 them is a lack

01:07:35.420 of leadership.

01:07:36.400 But if it's true

01:07:37.760 that both governors

01:07:38.680 followed them, I

01:07:42.260 mean, that's more

01:07:43.320 of a staff

01:07:44.260 coincidence problem.

01:07:45.600 One had a good

01:07:46.180 staff, one didn't.

01:07:47.980 I'm not sure

01:07:48.580 anybody would have

01:07:49.220 known that they

01:07:50.040 were going to get

01:07:50.420 the wrong

01:07:50.780 recommendation, if

01:07:52.540 that's what

01:07:52.900 happened.

01:07:56.080 Cuomo was

01:07:56.940 clearing hospital

01:07:57.900 beds.

01:07:58.360 Yeah, I mean, he

01:07:58.980 had a reason for

01:07:59.720 doing what he did.

01:08:00.940 He had a reason.

01:08:02.820 But what did his

01:08:04.740 experts tell him was

01:08:05.760 the best thing to

01:08:06.400 do?

01:08:07.680 If he did what his

01:08:08.760 experts told him to

01:08:09.700 do, I don't know.

01:08:12.000 Now, as Mimi says,

01:08:14.240 you're guessing.

01:08:15.680 That is correct.

01:08:17.720 But Mimi, do you

01:08:18.820 follow my point?

01:08:20.320 I'm guessing because

01:08:21.520 there's no evidence

01:08:22.700 either way.

01:08:24.680 I have to guess because

01:08:27.280 I don't know.

01:08:28.900 If I don't know, then

01:08:31.020 if it serves my

01:08:32.060 point that there's

01:08:32.800 no signal for

01:08:33.560 leadership, you

01:08:34.960 could say there

01:08:35.780 might be, if you

01:08:37.460 dug into it, you 0.72

01:08:38.180 might find that it

01:08:39.180 was actually the

01:08:39.820 leaders that made

01:08:40.660 the decisions, not

01:08:41.640 the experts.

01:08:42.480 In which case, I'd

01:08:43.460 say, whoa, okay,

01:08:44.420 surprising.

01:08:45.480 I would have

01:08:45.900 expected both

01:08:46.640 governors to do

01:08:47.420 whatever their

01:08:47.840 experts told them.

01:08:48.660 If one of those

01:08:49.900 experts overrode

01:08:51.820 the, if one of

01:08:52.940 those governors,

01:08:53.760 let's say DeSantis,

01:08:54.860 if he overrode the

01:08:56.340 experts and got it

01:08:58.220 right, well, that's

01:09:00.240 superstar stuff.

01:09:01.800 But I don't think

01:09:02.440 that happened.

01:09:03.320 If Cuomo overrode his

01:09:05.080 own experts and got

01:09:08.020 it wrong, well, that's

01:09:09.820 pretty bad.

01:09:12.000 That's pretty bad.

01:09:13.240 But we don't have

01:09:13.900 that, that's not an

01:09:15.060 evidence, right?

01:09:16.280 If it were an

01:09:17.120 evidence, that's

01:09:18.340 different.

01:09:18.660 So I think that

01:09:22.060 was one of my most

01:09:23.080 unusual predictions,

01:09:24.840 and I've had some

01:09:25.480 unusual ones.

01:09:27.240 My most unusual

01:09:28.100 one is that evolution

01:09:29.200 would be debunked in

01:09:30.540 scientific terms, and

01:09:33.120 now we have the

01:09:33.720 simulation theory.

01:09:35.640 So who saw that

01:09:37.920 coming?

01:09:39.360 I did.

01:09:41.060 Do you remember

01:09:41.840 that I told you at

01:09:42.720 the beginning of the

01:09:43.520 Trump saga in 2015

01:09:45.600 that he would change

01:09:46.580 more than politics?

01:09:48.660 I said that Trump

01:09:50.300 would change reality

01:09:52.180 itself.

01:09:53.900 And then he showed

01:09:54.880 us fake news, and

01:09:57.080 then he changed

01:09:57.620 reality itself.

01:09:59.160 That's where we are.

01:10:01.380 So I'm not going to

01:10:04.300 claim all my

01:10:04.900 predictions have been

01:10:05.800 correct.

01:10:06.580 There's some notable

01:10:07.340 ones that were wrong.

01:10:08.120 but would you give me

01:10:11.260 this, that my

01:10:12.700 weirdest predictions,

01:10:13.980 like the ones that

01:10:14.640 just are batshit crazy

01:10:15.780 on the surface,

01:10:17.180 have come true.

01:10:18.740 The most batshit

01:10:20.200 predictions I've made

01:10:21.100 have actually just

01:10:22.140 come in.

01:10:23.280 You've got to give me

01:10:23.860 that, because I think

01:10:24.980 that's objectively true.

01:10:26.140 But a number of, I

01:10:30.200 would say, ordinary

01:10:31.420 predictions.

01:10:32.680 I predicted who

01:10:33.520 would be the vice

01:10:34.220 president pick for

01:10:35.280 Trump.

01:10:35.680 I got that wrong.

01:10:37.060 So there are a bunch

01:10:37.700 of things that I got

01:10:38.340 wrong.

01:10:39.160 But the ones I got

01:10:39.840 wrong were sort of

01:10:40.560 ordinary ones, you

01:10:42.340 know, the ones

01:10:42.740 anybody gets wrong.

01:10:44.020 The weird, the weird

01:10:45.760 long-term ones, those

01:10:48.640 are the ones that, you

01:10:50.260 know, should tell you

01:10:50.900 something.

01:10:52.600 Did you predict

01:10:53.460 Michael Schellenberger

01:10:54.400 would win?

01:10:55.220 No.

01:10:56.200 I predicted that he

01:10:57.240 could do it if

01:10:58.340 anybody could do it.

01:11:00.420 Predicting a win by

01:11:02.240 anybody but a

01:11:02.960 Democrat in California

01:11:03.960 would be, that would

01:11:05.480 be a tough prediction.

01:11:09.360 Yeah, I was optimistic.

01:11:11.520 I thought things could

01:11:13.040 catch on, but they,

01:11:14.700 you know, and I

01:11:15.640 thought it was sort

01:11:16.240 of a spark that had

01:11:17.860 a good chance of

01:11:18.560 catching on, but it

01:11:19.320 didn't catch on.

01:11:21.980 Yeah, and there's

01:11:22.600 just too much

01:11:23.900 inertia for the

01:11:24.820 Democrats.

01:11:28.360 Yeah, I saw Mike

01:11:29.360 Sernovich's tweet

01:11:31.360 about targeting of,

01:11:33.760 or the hunting of

01:11:34.500 Republicans.

01:11:35.540 I always appreciate

01:11:36.680 Mike.

01:11:41.460 All right.

01:11:44.680 And that, ladies 0.97

01:11:45.560 and gentlemen, no,

01:11:46.860 Michelle Obama is not

01:11:47.860 running for president.

01:11:50.280 And that, ladies and

01:11:51.300 gentlemen, is all I have

01:11:52.280 for today.

01:11:53.140 I think you would

01:11:53.980 agree.

01:11:54.780 One of the best

01:11:55.520 podcasts of all

01:11:56.640 time.

01:11:57.800 If you're listening on

01:11:59.040 Spotify, I've been

01:12:00.380 asked to give a shout

01:12:01.360 out to you.

01:12:02.520 So, all you other

01:12:03.520 podcast listeners who

01:12:04.680 are not on YouTube, I

01:12:05.900 forget to mention you.

01:12:07.700 I always forget the

01:12:08.840 podcast because that

01:12:10.200 happens after I do this,

01:12:12.880 like it gets turned

01:12:13.760 into a podcast.

01:12:15.080 I have no idea how

01:12:16.260 many people consume

01:12:17.820 this.

01:12:18.780 Does anybody know how

01:12:19.540 to figure that out?

01:12:21.580 Because I don't

01:12:22.260 think podcasts have

01:12:23.340 any real data behind

01:12:24.480 it, right?

01:12:24.960 There's no way to

01:12:25.600 know how many people

01:12:26.240 watch it.

01:12:27.360 So, I have no idea

01:12:28.580 how many people

01:12:29.400 consume my content.

01:12:33.640 100,000 per episode.

01:12:36.380 Closer to 50.

01:12:37.560 You know, 100 would

01:12:38.320 be a special day.

01:12:40.600 That's what I think,

01:12:41.840 but I don't know.

01:12:42.480 Look at the downloads

01:12:46.080 from your hosting

01:12:47.160 service.

01:12:49.740 How do you do that?

01:12:53.360 All right.

01:12:53.960 That's all for now.

01:12:54.620 I'll talk to you all
