Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1972 Scott Adams： Today I Will Trigger Viewers Into Cognitive Dissonance By Debunking Hoaxes

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams, the highlight of your life

00:00:09.020 and civilization itself.

00:00:10.540 I don't think there's been a finer day, but wait till tomorrow, even better.

00:00:16.000 How would you like to experience some beverage with a little cognitive dissonance?

00:00:22.100 Some of you will be triggered by today's, well, a lot of you actually, maybe two-thirds

00:00:27.800 of you, will be experiencing some serious cognitive dissonance.

00:00:33.380 And I'm doing it intentionally, so before we start, you should know that that's going

00:00:39.320 to happen to two-thirds of you, but you don't know which ones.

00:00:42.240 Might be you, might be somebody else.

00:00:44.360 Now, if it happens to you, you're just going to get angry, and you're going to swear that

00:00:48.560 nothing like that happened.

00:00:50.360 Your reaction will be, I'm not in cognitive dissonance, darn it.

00:00:53.700 The words I say are making complete sense, but they won't.

00:00:59.060 They won't.

00:01:00.120 They'll be on the wrong topic, and everything else.

00:01:03.040 All right.

00:01:03.740 But before we get into that, how would you like to take your energy up to a level that

00:01:08.980 almost nobody has ever experienced before?

00:01:11.560 Of course you do.

00:01:13.000 And all you need is a cover mug or a glass, a tanker, jealous, or stye, and a canteen jug

00:01:16.840 or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:01:18.620 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that

00:01:25.940 makes everything better.

00:01:27.920 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:01:30.700 Go.

00:01:34.920 Craig says, give it to me.

00:01:37.140 Trigger me.

00:01:38.480 Well, I will.

00:01:40.400 I will.

00:01:41.220 So yesterday, a bot told me that Elon Musk started following me on Twitter, which gets

00:01:51.200 you a lot of attention, it turns out.

00:01:53.440 Because when the bots say that he follows somebody, people definitely notice that.

00:02:00.680 Now, he has been following the Dilbert Twitter account for several months, but now he's following

00:02:09.400 following me.

00:02:11.720 So, I guess I don't have any extra comment on that.

00:02:17.960 But how many times have I told you that what we've created here with this live stream is

00:02:25.000 something fairly substantial.

00:02:28.100 It's almost like an augmentation to the Constitution or the Republic.

00:02:32.180 And what I mean by that is it's an efficient way for opinions to bubble up and get to the

00:02:40.920 right people.

00:02:42.240 So, to the extent that your opinions, you know, are, let's say, unified on some topic, and

00:02:51.000 to the extent to which I tweet about it, you've got more visibility now.

00:02:55.100 So, your visibility all went up.

00:02:58.340 So, when I say that, you know, Elon Musk is following my Twitter account, that really

00:03:03.920 is about you as well, because, you know, it's all part of one process.

00:03:08.360 All right.

00:03:11.060 Remember I told you that I wanted Representative Santos, who's now, seems to be the biggest

00:03:17.240 liar Congress has ever known.

00:03:18.820 Um, I wanted him to keep his job specifically because, why?

00:03:24.580 Why did I say he should keep his job?

00:03:27.420 Do you remember?

00:03:28.640 Because it would be funny when the other members of Congress say he should quit because he's

00:03:34.900 a liar. 0.91

00:03:36.420 Now, you can't tell me that won't be funny.

00:03:39.880 And sure enough, Eric Swalwell has weighed in.

00:03:43.120 Eric Swalwell, to suggest that he should be investigated for being such a liar.

00:03:51.180 Now, is that not funny?

00:03:54.720 You do not disagree.

00:03:57.280 That is funny.

00:03:59.180 I don't have to add anything to that, do I?

00:04:01.720 There's like, there's no work for the professional humorist.

00:04:05.460 The professional humorist may take the day off, because the straight line or the set-up

00:04:12.420 does all the work.

00:04:14.060 All right, here's my joke of the day.

00:04:16.480 Eric Swalwell says that you can't have liars in Congress, and I'm done.

00:04:24.760 Set-up and punchline, set-up and punchline, all in one little neat package.

00:04:29.740 You can't beat that.

00:04:30.420 As a professional humorist, I appreciate the efficiency of this situation.

00:04:36.840 So keep that Santos guy in office.

00:04:39.140 We want to see, I want to see Adam Schiff rail against this liar.

00:04:44.940 I'd also like to see CNN bring on John Brennan to say we could never have a liar like this

00:04:50.480 in government.

00:04:56.640 Oh, Eric, just because he's a dick.

00:04:59.200 That's all.

00:05:00.420 So being a dick to me is reason for being blocked.

00:05:05.160 All right.

00:05:07.940 Peter Sweden, who I believe at one point was banned on Twitter, but he's back.

00:05:14.840 And he's one of the people who's notable for saying things about the pandemic,

00:05:20.700 which are not mainstream medical beliefs.

00:05:24.920 Now, I'm not saying that he is right or wrong, and we're going to enter the cognitive dissonance

00:05:33.300 territory, okay?

00:05:34.540 Now, here's the first way you can identify which one of you are getting triggered, because

00:05:40.100 a lot of you are going to get triggered.

00:05:41.840 The first way is you won't be able to stay on topic.

00:05:45.380 All right?

00:05:47.100 So look for the people who make very excited comments that might be true, might be true

00:05:53.280 facts, might not be, but they won't quite be on topic.

00:05:57.340 It'll be sort of in the same zip code, but it'll be like they're intentionally missing the point.

00:06:02.780 All right?

00:06:03.620 You ready?

00:06:04.620 Let's do this.

00:06:06.180 So Peter Sweden, notable pandemic.

00:06:11.480 Let's see.

00:06:11.920 What would I say?

00:06:13.300 Pandemic.

00:06:13.900 What's the name for somebody who says something that's not popular, but not a negative way?

00:06:24.460 Polemic.

00:06:25.000 Now, rogue.

00:06:26.600 Rogue.

00:06:27.140 Dissenter.

00:06:27.860 Dissenter.

00:06:29.660 Contrarian.

00:06:30.460 Contrarian.

00:06:30.960 That's it.

00:06:31.460 I got it.

00:06:31.940 Okay.

00:06:32.400 Thank you.

00:06:32.900 You got me.

00:06:33.720 Contrarian is the word I'm looking for, because I wanted a word that doesn't say anything about

00:06:38.320 whether he's right or wrong.

00:06:39.920 Can we agree on that?

00:06:41.480 Right.

00:06:41.700 So rule number one, we're not saying whether he or his points are good or bad.

00:06:48.060 So if any of you were to make a point in the next few minutes and say, but his point is

00:06:53.980 good, you're off topic.

00:06:56.380 All right?

00:06:56.740 You ready?

00:06:57.960 Let's see how many people will go off topic to show that they're in cognitive distance.

00:07:02.280 He tweeted a picture of the VAERS report and showed that there's a gigantic number of

00:07:09.840 reports in the VAERS database for pandemic-related stuff.

00:07:15.100 Okay?

00:07:15.500 It doesn't even matter what.

00:07:17.180 For our purposes, it doesn't matter what.

00:07:19.660 Just a huge number of extra VAERS. 0.66

00:07:24.180 VAERS meaning that there were negative reports of maybe a side effect from, I think, the vaccination.

00:07:30.580 Now, you all know that the VAERS reports are not substitutes for randomized controlled trials.

00:07:40.340 You agree, right?

00:07:41.520 It's simply people saying, hey, you might want to look into this.

00:07:45.260 And if lots of people are reporting the same thing, well, then you definitely want to look into it.

00:07:50.480 So can we all agree that if the VAERS report shows any anomaly, that the way you treat that

00:07:58.100 is not as a fact, but as something you definitely want to look into?

00:08:02.660 Everybody agree so far?

00:08:05.580 Okay.

00:08:05.780 So I tweeted that I was glad that Twitter had added a context note.

00:08:12.980 The context note basically debunked the interpretation of the VAERS thing and also mentioned that anybody

00:08:20.720 can put things on VAERS, et cetera.

00:08:24.160 Now, what do you think of that?

00:08:27.380 So my comment is that the context notes from Twitter are good.

00:08:32.980 Now, your comment, which will be off-topic, is you can't do randomized controlled top, right?

00:08:40.880 That's off-topic, cognitive dissonance.

00:08:43.280 Who else?

00:08:45.040 Who else can't deal with the fact that it's simply a context question?

00:08:50.140 Go ahead.

00:08:54.160 I blocked somebody's wife, and he says I'm jealous.

00:08:58.560 Anybody else?

00:09:01.400 Come on.

00:09:02.140 Come on.

00:09:02.980 Man, make an argument for why the VAERS report is right or wrong, which is totally not the

00:09:08.380 topic.

00:09:10.600 Oh, I got everybody quiet today.

00:09:13.460 Nobody wants to change the topic?

00:09:17.020 I warned you too much.

00:09:18.780 All right.

00:09:19.040 So is everybody here on the same wavelength that a gigantic anomaly is worth looking into, but

00:09:32.820 it's not a confirmation of anything, right?

00:09:35.440 Okay, good.

00:09:36.080 Yeah.

00:09:37.080 All right.

00:09:37.560 All right.

00:09:38.560 So that's good.

00:09:39.560 You did really well on that.

00:09:40.560 Do you think you'll do as well on the next one?

00:09:41.700 Do you think you'll do as well on the next one?

00:09:50.840 Let's see.

00:09:52.400 By the way, I guess my objective, you know, I've got a number of things I always like to accomplish, but among them, I would like my audience to be the most sophisticated analyzers of the news.

00:10:13.960 The people who know immediately what's wrong, like you see it immediately, and I'm going to give you another one in a minute that's going to be really tough for you.

00:10:22.940 This was the starter.

00:10:24.080 This was just the appetizer.

00:10:25.700 It's going to get tougher.

00:10:26.660 All right.

00:10:30.300 Here it is.

00:10:32.420 I ran a poll.

00:10:33.480 I said, how many of you believe some group of elites or leftists, and this could include Bill Gates, right?

00:10:39.560 So he could be on your list.

00:10:40.720 But how many believe some group of elites or leftists or someone important wants to reduce the population of Earth?

00:10:47.920 How many say that that is a true statement, that there are some elites, some people in power who want to reduce the population of Earth?

00:11:00.100 A lot of you say yes.

00:11:01.940 Some say no, but some say yes.

00:11:05.900 Now, how many of you, let me ask more specifically, how many of you have seen Bill Gates, either a video or seen his quote where he directly says,

00:11:17.440 yes, he says it directly in a video and also in a quote that he's looking to, wants to reduce the population of Earth?

00:11:24.820 How many of you have seen those?

00:11:29.660 Seen a lot of yeses, yeses.

00:11:31.880 Now, those of you who have seen those things, do you know they're hoaxes?

00:11:36.920 Here comes the cognitive dissonance.

00:11:38.620 The video of Bill Gates saying directly that he wants population reduction, it's actually a voiceover, it's just a hoax.

00:11:49.480 It's not even his voice.

00:11:51.400 But there's also a quote that says it directly, right?

00:11:55.060 I mean, there's a quote of real words that came out of his mouth that say it directly, right?

00:12:00.800 No, there isn't.

00:12:02.040 No, that doesn't exist.

00:12:03.100 It's widely quoted, but it doesn't exist.

00:12:07.880 There's a larger quote which they Rupard, whoever did it, somebody Rupard it.

00:12:13.660 They took a real quote and combined it, they changed its context.

00:12:18.520 So if you see it out of context, it looks exactly like he wants to reduce the population.

00:12:24.100 The actual context is he's talking about reducing something else.

00:12:28.420 It's actually not even about population.

00:12:30.600 So you can't actually find any evidence of Bill Gates wanting to reduce the population.

00:12:37.240 Now, how many of you believe me?

00:12:40.700 How many of you believe me that it's a hoax and a well-documented one?

00:12:45.900 We know exactly what the real video says, and we know what the hoax says.

00:12:51.340 We know exactly what the real quote says, and we know what the hoax says.

00:12:55.680 How many believe me that it's a hoax?

00:12:58.640 Just the Bill Gates part.

00:13:00.560 Just the Bill Gates part.

00:13:02.500 All right.

00:13:04.100 Now, if there's anybody left who still believes that Bill Gates is interested in population decline,

00:13:12.440 I don't mean to insult you, but what I'm going to do next might be a little tough for some of you.

00:13:19.700 Right?

00:13:20.040 This is not personal.

00:13:21.200 I'm not trying to insult you, genuinely.

00:13:25.320 I'm trying to make sure I have the most educated live stream.

00:13:30.500 All right.

00:13:30.640 This will be a little tough, but I think you can handle it.

00:13:33.520 On the Bill Gates population decline, you should not have had to do a fact check.

00:13:43.920 You should not have had to research that.

00:13:46.600 Here's why.

00:13:47.200 It doesn't pass the really test, you know, where you go, really?

00:13:54.520 Because up to around, this is just my guess, an IQ of about 120,

00:14:01.420 you could imagine that people maybe don't understand how population and economics work together.

00:14:08.660 In other words, if you believe that reducing the population of Earth could ever be good for Earth,

00:14:16.520 then you don't understand economics and population.

00:14:19.980 You might understand economics alone without the population.

00:14:23.300 You might understand population, but you don't understand that a growing population is absolutely required for economic stability.

00:14:33.500 It's required.

00:14:35.180 There's no way around it.

00:14:36.340 Everybody at Bill Gates' IQ level knows that.

00:14:42.000 Everybody.

00:14:44.580 All right.

00:14:44.900 Now, that's your challenge.

00:14:46.480 Find somebody that you believe is well above average and ask them,

00:14:51.460 what's better for the economy, a growing population or a shrinking population?

00:14:58.840 They'll all give you the same answer.

00:15:01.680 It will be 100% of the people will say, oh, it has to grow,

00:15:05.160 but you want to grow wisely, right?

00:15:09.720 It has to grow, but it should be a controlled, smart growth.

00:15:14.500 You don't want to wildly just overpopulate.

00:15:16.640 Now, some people say that there's a Rockefeller, you know, shady Rockefeller group that recommended back in 1975

00:15:30.580 that the policy of the United States should be to reduce, you know, out of control population growth.

00:15:37.380 True or false, true or false, that in 1975, it was believed that population growth was the problem.

00:15:45.120 True, true.

00:15:46.520 When I was that age, you know, I'm old enough to remember it, everybody was worried, all the smart people.

00:15:53.280 The people up here, they were all worried that the population was getting out of control.

00:15:59.860 But smart people watched what happened when countries got richer.

00:16:05.900 And they learned that, wait a minute, every single time a country gets richer, their birth rate goes down.

00:16:11.760 So it turned out it was like a self-correcting problem.

00:16:16.420 Now, I ran a little poll, and I asked how many of you believe some group of elites or whatever want to reduce the population of Earth?

00:16:26.460 72% of you said yes.

00:16:30.680 You're all wrong.

00:16:31.760 This one is clean cut.

00:16:36.200 There are a lot of things that we talk about where a difference in opinion or priorities, different of, like, projection and stuff.

00:16:44.460 You could have lots of reasons to disagree, but this isn't one of them.

00:16:49.100 This is one that there is no room for actual disagreement.

00:16:52.900 It's almost like physics.

00:16:54.520 It would be like disagreeing with gravity, right?

00:16:57.080 You need a growing population to have a good economy, and every person who pays attention and is at least a little bit smart, they all know it.

00:17:08.260 There are no elite people who want to reduce the population of Earth.

00:17:11.820 None.

00:17:12.740 But you might hear people say, you know, there might be, say, some African country that's getting ahead of itself, right? 0.87

00:17:19.520 So you could easily imagine some individual place has more population growth than locally they can grow food.

00:17:26.400 But that's not the big picture.

00:17:30.020 Now, how many of you are saying to yourself, huh, I used to think that there were smart people who wanted to reduce the population of Earth,

00:17:39.480 but now that you've explained it this way, I can see your point.

00:17:42.880 How many people have I convinced to change their mind?

00:17:48.720 If you haven't changed your mind about this, you're in cognitive dissonance.

00:17:53.220 This one is not the kind where there's any room for disagreement.

00:17:58.340 There really isn't.

00:18:00.060 You won't find any disagreement for people who understand the topic and are reasonably smart.

00:18:06.700 None.

00:18:07.740 Now, if you'd like to test this, I'd like you to find that person in your own life.

00:18:13.960 See if you can find a person who actually has the opinion you believe is widespread.

00:18:19.060 Nobody.

00:18:20.460 Nobody.

00:18:21.580 Now, you might say to yourself, but Scott, we're only talking about the elites.

00:18:25.620 The elites definitely want less population.

00:18:29.300 Maybe not smart people in general, but the elites.

00:18:33.220 No, they don't.

00:18:34.820 It would be terrible for the elites.

00:18:37.020 The elites don't want a shrinking population because those are their customers.

00:18:40.740 They want more people paying taxes, more people buying their stuff.

00:18:45.020 They only want more people.

00:18:48.080 But again, in a controlled way, not out of control growth.

00:18:55.600 All right.

00:18:58.440 How many people said, when I asked, you know, is there a group of elites, blah, blah, blah.

00:19:04.340 So, apparently, the people who said, you never know, I think are the same as the, you know, it's close to a quarter of the people said, you never know.

00:19:16.620 But you do know.

00:19:19.840 I don't want to make fun of a quarter of the people who answered this poll, but it's right on.

00:19:26.040 That 25% thing just keeps on working. 0.63

00:19:28.460 The wrong answer is you don't know.

00:19:33.280 Now, if I ran this poll again, you should all be able to answer that.

00:19:37.440 You definitely know.

00:19:38.900 No, there's nobody.

00:19:40.320 Nobody has that opinion in the elites.

00:19:42.700 It is a non-existent opinion.

00:19:47.240 How many of you are having, like, the biggest mindfuck of your life right now?

00:19:51.200 Because you were positive that was true.

00:19:53.060 How many of you were positive it was true until, like, just now?

00:20:02.280 Well, 72% of my poll said they were positive it was true just an hour ago.

00:20:11.100 Now, is anybody having a negative feeling about me?

00:20:14.740 Because that would be cognitive dissonance, too.

00:20:17.260 Is anybody thinking, oh, no, he's not trying to help us.

00:20:20.280 He's part of the elite.

00:20:22.840 Do you think I'm part of the elite who's trying to pull the wool over your eyes?

00:20:26.700 For what reason would that be?

00:20:29.580 What reason would I have to try to dupe you on this question?

00:20:34.900 None.

00:20:37.440 All right, well, I don't know if it's because I primed you so well,

00:20:43.080 but I think you're doing well.

00:20:48.580 You're handling this very well.

00:20:51.740 Those of you who are not changing your mind, you know,

00:20:54.960 you already knew that population growth was good.

00:20:57.420 Are you watching what's happening?

00:20:58.960 This is kind of remarkable.

00:21:00.560 It's kind of remarkable.

00:21:01.440 Because I would have expected far more word salad.

00:21:07.860 So I feel like maybe we are accomplishing something.

00:21:12.200 You know, if the only thing I could accomplish

00:21:14.000 is that my audience would learn how to change their mind

00:21:18.100 without cognitive dissonance,

00:21:20.080 that would be amazing.

00:21:23.220 Do you realize what an upgrade to your thinking process that would be?

00:21:26.920 If you could actually learn to just change your mind.

00:21:31.520 It's the rarest of talents.

00:21:35.560 But I feel like maybe this is a group that's better at it,

00:21:39.260 you know, through filtering.

00:21:42.500 Yeah.

00:21:48.720 This is pure denial, says Vince.

00:21:51.720 Well, Vince, it's pure denial.

00:21:55.160 So you believe that there are some,

00:21:58.920 even though there's no evidence of it whatsoever

00:22:01.580 and nobody smart would ever believe it,

00:22:03.800 you still believe this really big trick.

00:22:08.040 All right.

00:22:08.800 Well, let's move on.

00:22:11.840 There was a new study

00:22:13.440 that said that women can detect who's married versus unmarried 1.00

00:22:18.840 by sniffing their T-shirts and looking at their photos.

00:22:23.300 Do you see any problem with this?

00:22:26.580 Let's see how trained you are to identify bullshit studies.

00:22:31.360 So women can identify single men 0.96

00:22:33.480 by sniffing their T-shirts while looking at pictures.

00:22:38.920 Now,

00:22:39.920 don't you think that looking at the picture part

00:22:43.180 is the important part?

00:22:46.640 Do you think the sniffing was how they figured it out?

00:22:50.340 Or do you think it was just looking at the picture?

00:22:53.660 Because I'm not a woman,

00:22:56.000 but I can pick out married men by the picture.

00:22:58.800 Is there anybody who wouldn't be able to identify married men 1.00

00:23:01.580 by the picture?

00:23:03.740 Yeah, you can.

00:23:07.200 You totally can.

00:23:09.100 You absolutely can.

00:23:10.540 And one of the things that we know

00:23:13.040 is that single people have higher testosterone.

00:23:16.880 How many of you knew that?

00:23:18.500 That your testosterone goes down as soon as you get married,

00:23:21.680 and especially if kids are around.

00:23:23.320 If kids are around,

00:23:24.480 your testosterone just disappears practically.

00:23:27.820 Now,

00:23:28.480 and testosterone absolutely changes how you look.

00:23:32.360 In the long run,

00:23:34.200 a lot,

00:23:34.960 you know,

00:23:35.220 it can make you rounder and softer

00:23:36.780 versus more angular and cut.

00:23:39.960 But even in the short run,

00:23:43.040 I think.

00:23:43.640 Even in the short run.

00:23:45.120 Because testosterone is entirely the chemical

00:23:47.760 that makes men happy.

00:23:50.160 How many women knew this, 0.99

00:23:51.540 by the way?

00:23:52.920 That,

00:23:53.460 you know,

00:23:54.420 we all need our dopamine

00:23:56.040 and our,

00:23:57.020 I don't know,

00:23:58.160 serotonin,

00:23:59.000 whatever.

00:23:59.940 But,

00:24:01.080 but the difference between happy and unhappy

00:24:03.180 for a man

00:24:03.820 is their testosterone.

00:24:05.780 You can actually feel

00:24:07.160 a high testosterone day

00:24:08.600 if you're a male.

00:24:10.380 Would you,

00:24:10.940 can you guys confirm this?

00:24:13.000 Men,

00:24:13.760 you can feel a high testosterone day

00:24:15.780 and you can feel a low testosterone day.

00:24:18.800 And the high testosterone days,

00:24:20.380 you can do anything.

00:24:21.780 Like,

00:24:22.060 you have no fear.

00:24:23.760 The,

00:24:24.000 the biggest fear I have

00:24:25.540 when my testosterone is,

00:24:27.220 like,

00:24:27.460 clearly high,

00:24:28.440 the biggest fear I have

00:24:29.940 is that I don't have any fear.

00:24:31.120 And that's a problem.

00:24:34.040 Right?

00:24:35.080 And you know it when it's happening.

00:24:37.340 Like,

00:24:37.680 there are days I'm walking down the street

00:24:39.040 and I think,

00:24:40.080 God,

00:24:40.420 I hope nobody starts a fight with me today

00:24:42.240 because I think I would just end them.

00:24:44.960 And it has nothing to do with

00:24:46.500 being angry.

00:24:48.460 It wouldn't even be about temper.

00:24:50.740 It would just be

00:24:51.680 you get your business done.

00:24:53.680 It's just a feeling of,

00:24:55.240 well,

00:24:55.460 if I,

00:24:55.800 if I have to kill that attacker,

00:24:57.180 I guess I'll get on it.

00:24:58.900 Right?

00:24:59.260 It's just this feeling

00:25:00.360 of overwhelming capability.

00:25:03.380 Now,

00:25:03.880 you don't think you can pick that up

00:25:05.120 in somebody's eyes?

00:25:07.180 You don't think you can pick somebody

00:25:08.880 who,

00:25:09.240 who knows their testosterone

00:25:10.940 has been drained from them?

00:25:14.240 Versus somebody who is like,

00:25:16.600 you're ready to go?

00:25:17.820 You can totally tell

00:25:18.840 by looking at the face.

00:25:20.600 Now,

00:25:21.620 can they also

00:25:22.960 detect the scent?

00:25:25.440 I think so.

00:25:26.800 Probably.

00:25:27.780 Probably.

00:25:28.080 For example,

00:25:30.220 if you're smelling

00:25:32.200 a married person's T-shirt,

00:25:33.780 you might smell

00:25:34.380 the desperation.

00:25:40.380 Yeah,

00:25:40.940 dogs can smell fear.

00:25:42.980 If a dog can smell fear,

00:25:44.480 I'm pretty sure a woman 0.99

00:25:45.340 can smell a married man. 0.55

00:25:47.480 It can't be that different.

00:25:50.380 Basically the same problem.

00:25:51.660 All right.

00:25:56.460 Now,

00:25:57.640 I've got a prediction.

00:25:59.720 Been making this prediction

00:26:00.800 for a while,

00:26:01.600 but because of the pandemic,

00:26:03.180 I think society is ready for it.

00:26:05.780 There is,

00:26:06.320 there is in front of us

00:26:07.900 at some point

00:26:08.720 in our near future,

00:26:10.360 a real big reckoning,

00:26:12.620 public reckoning

00:26:13.560 with birth control pills.

00:26:15.840 Because as you know,

00:26:18.420 a birth control pill

00:26:19.440 changes the hormonal,

00:26:21.960 you know,

00:26:22.900 situation of a woman. 0.99

00:26:24.860 And,

00:26:25.620 as many,

00:26:27.520 but not all people

00:26:28.280 will tell you anecdotally,

00:26:30.660 it seems to change

00:26:31.740 their personalities.

00:26:33.620 And scientifically,

00:26:35.760 women are less attracted 1.00

00:26:37.340 to their mates

00:26:38.140 when they're on birth control.

00:26:39.660 which actually makes

00:26:41.320 perfect sense.

00:26:42.620 Because you would,

00:26:43.860 you would imagine

00:26:44.500 that evolution

00:26:45.320 would make you hornier 0.59

00:26:47.820 when you're able

00:26:48.720 to have babies

00:26:49.440 and less horny

00:26:50.880 when you're not.

00:26:52.220 And,

00:26:52.740 and I think,

00:26:53.780 you know,

00:26:54.080 the monthly cycle

00:26:55.580 demonstrates that.

00:26:57.020 Now,

00:26:57.360 that's not guaranteed,

00:26:58.460 I suppose,

00:26:59.620 but it makes sense.

00:27:01.240 You know,

00:27:01.520 you,

00:27:01.840 you would totally expect

00:27:03.120 women to be less attracted 1.00

00:27:05.040 in any situation

00:27:06.860 in which they're not fertile

00:27:08.020 and know it.

00:27:08.660 Now,

00:27:09.500 it doesn't,

00:27:09.840 I don't even necessarily

00:27:10.940 think it has to be

00:27:11.860 a bodily change.

00:27:14.520 I think if your brain

00:27:15.620 knows you can't have a baby,

00:27:17.740 it might actually,

00:27:19.300 you know,

00:27:19.780 also have a change

00:27:20.780 on your chemistry.

00:27:21.900 Just speculating.

00:27:23.980 But,

00:27:24.800 here's what I think.

00:27:26.740 I think because

00:27:28.060 the pandemic

00:27:30.080 has ruined our trust

00:27:31.640 in big pharma,

00:27:33.580 that people are going

00:27:34.280 to ask questions

00:27:34.940 that they just

00:27:35.480 wouldn't have asked before.

00:27:38.660 Mike,

00:27:40.720 don't make the birth control

00:27:42.060 is a depopulation.

00:27:45.020 You know,

00:27:45.260 that,

00:27:46.140 nice try.

00:27:48.460 But you still have to believe

00:27:49.700 somebody wants to do it.

00:27:51.320 It's not enough

00:27:52.060 to say that it exists.

00:27:54.020 It's not enough

00:27:54.640 to say that people

00:27:55.260 have options

00:27:55.900 for having babies.

00:27:57.400 That's not a question

00:27:58.460 of intent

00:27:59.040 of the elites.

00:28:00.520 It's just something

00:28:01.300 that's an option.

00:28:01.940 There might be intent,

00:28:04.480 but there's no evidence

00:28:05.260 of that.

00:28:09.360 You can want

00:28:10.120 to have sex 0.89

00:28:10.620 without wanting

00:28:11.060 to have babies,

00:28:11.620 yes.

00:28:12.220 But I believe

00:28:13.100 that women, 0.99

00:28:16.080 let's get rid

00:28:16.680 of the trolls.

00:28:17.940 Goodbye.

00:28:19.960 Any more?

00:28:23.400 All right.

00:28:23.960 So I think

00:28:27.520 that the trust

00:28:28.200 in big pharma

00:28:28.980 is low enough

00:28:29.860 that we can have

00:28:30.520 an honest conversation

00:28:31.640 about birth control,

00:28:32.820 which I believe

00:28:33.820 cripples women. 1.00

00:28:35.980 I believe

00:28:36.420 they become

00:28:37.120 personally

00:28:39.200 disadvantaged

00:28:40.560 and they're

00:28:42.000 less easy

00:28:42.920 to be around.

00:28:45.500 I don't know that.

00:28:47.400 I would say

00:28:48.060 that I will

00:28:49.900 make an analogy

00:28:50.860 because you love

00:28:51.580 analogies

00:28:52.240 to the VAERS report.

00:28:54.640 I'm not saying

00:28:55.380 I know for sure

00:28:56.320 that birth control

00:28:57.760 is ruining marriages

00:28:59.000 and relationships

00:29:00.000 and lives everywhere.

00:29:01.560 I'm saying

00:29:02.340 that it seems

00:29:04.260 so obvious,

00:29:05.860 anecdotally,

00:29:06.800 that if we're

00:29:07.680 not making this

00:29:08.340 a really high priority,

00:29:10.660 something's wrong.

00:29:12.260 And it's probably

00:29:12.840 because people

00:29:13.500 trusted big pharma

00:29:14.780 until recently.

00:29:16.180 So that's

00:29:16.860 my prediction.

00:29:17.620 The pandemic

00:29:18.460 lack of trust

00:29:19.640 in big pharma

00:29:20.300 will start

00:29:21.320 to bleed over

00:29:21.960 into birth control

00:29:22.920 and I expect

00:29:24.080 you'll see

00:29:24.520 a big movement

00:29:25.360 of people

00:29:26.600 who don't want

00:29:27.280 to be on birth control.

00:29:28.920 And it's not

00:29:29.600 because they don't

00:29:30.120 want to,

00:29:31.080 it's not because

00:29:31.640 of babies.

00:29:32.820 It'll be entirely

00:29:33.620 because how

00:29:34.960 it makes them feel.

00:29:38.120 Just,

00:29:38.780 that's my prediction.

00:29:40.520 All right,

00:29:41.340 here's some news

00:29:42.540 from Russia.

00:29:44.000 Apparently,

00:29:44.600 Russia is allowing 0.97

00:29:46.000 Russian soldiers

00:29:46.840 to freeze their sperm,

00:29:48.960 sperm, you know,

00:29:50.280 so in case

00:29:50.780 they die,

00:29:51.440 their wife

00:29:52.440 can have

00:29:53.420 their little sperm

00:29:54.100 baby.

00:29:55.420 But,

00:29:56.100 I don't know,

00:29:57.400 it feels like

00:29:58.180 I'm no military

00:30:00.980 expert,

00:30:01.640 but correct me

00:30:02.680 if I'm wrong,

00:30:03.520 were the Russian

00:30:04.140 soldiers

00:30:04.700 not already

00:30:06.260 freezing their

00:30:06.880 balls off?

00:30:09.740 Because,

00:30:10.420 is that a big

00:30:10.920 change?

00:30:12.000 Because I think

00:30:12.780 you could just

00:30:13.200 take a dead

00:30:14.020 Russian soldier,

00:30:15.560 say,

00:30:15.720 well,

00:30:15.940 he's dead

00:30:16.280 already,

00:30:16.860 just cut his

00:30:17.540 balls off

00:30:18.100 and take them

00:30:18.820 home to the

00:30:19.260 wife,

00:30:19.800 because the

00:30:20.440 balls are

00:30:20.760 frozen,

00:30:21.900 right?

00:30:22.120 I mean,

00:30:22.400 they'll be

00:30:22.660 frozen solid.

00:30:23.560 So you could

00:30:24.060 just cut off

00:30:25.120 their balls,

00:30:26.220 throw it in a 0.75

00:30:26.700 bag,

00:30:27.740 keep it frozen,

00:30:28.520 send it home,

00:30:29.760 boom,

00:30:30.500 cheaper than a

00:30:31.140 sperm bank.

00:30:32.620 So as long as

00:30:33.520 the Russian soldiers

00:30:34.480 are already

00:30:34.900 freezing their

00:30:35.500 balls off,

00:30:36.600 it feels a little

00:30:37.140 unnecessary.

00:30:39.620 I'm joking,

00:30:41.280 I'm joking

00:30:41.940 about their

00:30:43.520 balls.

00:30:45.720 But if I

00:30:46.560 were a

00:30:47.160 Ukrainian,

00:30:48.140 let me tell

00:30:48.820 you what I

00:30:49.220 would do

00:30:49.460 with this

00:30:49.780 information.

00:30:51.480 If I were

00:30:52.140 a Ukrainian,

00:30:52.880 I would make

00:30:53.300 sure every

00:30:54.220 single Russian

00:30:56.080 citizen knew

00:30:57.000 that Russia 0.72

00:30:59.020 didn't care

00:30:59.820 about the

00:31:00.240 soldiers,

00:31:01.160 they only

00:31:02.460 wanted to

00:31:02.860 keep their

00:31:03.200 balls.

00:31:04.820 We don't

00:31:05.400 care about

00:31:05.760 the entire

00:31:06.300 soldier,

00:31:06.980 obviously,

00:31:07.580 we're sending

00:31:07.980 him into

00:31:08.300 this meat

00:31:08.700 grinder,

00:31:09.280 but we do

00:31:09.780 care about

00:31:10.140 their balls. 0.69

00:31:12.400 Do you

00:31:12.620 know why

00:31:12.820 they care

00:31:13.140 about their

00:31:13.520 balls? 0.91

00:31:15.720 Do you

00:31:16.580 know why

00:31:16.740 the government

00:31:17.160 doesn't care

00:31:17.760 if they

00:31:18.020 die in

00:31:18.340 the meat

00:31:18.620 grinder,

00:31:19.280 but they

00:31:19.760 do care

00:31:20.120 about their

00:31:20.480 balls? 0.91

00:31:21.640 Because Russia 0.80

00:31:22.520 does not want

00:31:23.420 to have a

00:31:23.800 decreasing

00:31:24.280 population.

00:31:26.480 Do you

00:31:26.700 get that?

00:31:28.380 Russia knows 0.92

00:31:30.000 that a

00:31:31.220 decreasing

00:31:31.660 population is

00:31:32.600 the end of

00:31:33.040 Russia.

00:31:33.780 They have

00:31:34.480 to have

00:31:34.840 babies,

00:31:35.960 right?

00:31:36.540 So yes,

00:31:37.640 they're willing

00:31:38.480 to even

00:31:39.080 freeze your

00:31:40.040 sperm and

00:31:41.120 send you off

00:31:41.620 to die, 0.52

00:31:42.020 but at least

00:31:42.420 you can have

00:31:43.140 some babies

00:31:43.580 later if you

00:31:44.440 want.

00:31:45.720 I know

00:31:48.360 the balls

00:31:49.340 don't make

00:31:49.820 babies by

00:31:50.380 themselves.

00:31:52.120 You may

00:31:52.820 have detected

00:31:53.360 that that was

00:31:54.700 a humor

00:31:55.140 bit.

00:31:57.360 Yours knew.

00:31:58.940 All right.

00:31:59.900 So if I

00:32:00.700 were the

00:32:00.900 Ukrainians,

00:32:01.540 I would

00:32:01.800 use this

00:32:02.240 as PR

00:32:03.720 because what

00:32:05.020 is it that

00:32:05.720 Russian men

00:32:06.860 care about

00:32:07.440 more than

00:32:07.880 anything in

00:32:08.400 the world?

00:32:09.580 Is it

00:32:10.000 their elbows?

00:32:11.860 Is it

00:32:12.560 their ears? 0.66

00:32:13.880 No,

00:32:14.220 it's their

00:32:14.580 balls.

00:32:15.000 It's

00:32:15.800 their balls 0.98

00:32:16.320 and vodka.

00:32:17.760 The two

00:32:18.260 things that

00:32:18.720 Russian men

00:32:19.180 care the

00:32:19.660 most about

00:32:20.300 is vodka

00:32:21.580 and their

00:32:22.140 balls.

00:32:23.120 So if

00:32:24.260 the Russian

00:32:24.680 government is

00:32:25.460 telling them

00:32:25.920 that their

00:32:26.300 balls are in

00:32:26.900 jeopardy,

00:32:28.260 hey, I

00:32:28.940 started a

00:32:29.500 war, you're 0.56

00:32:30.620 probably going

00:32:31.100 to lose your

00:32:31.540 balls.

00:32:33.640 But it would

00:32:34.760 be good for

00:32:35.360 some historical

00:32:36.520 reason for

00:32:37.140 Russia or 0.72

00:32:37.640 something, but

00:32:38.980 you're going

00:32:39.300 to lose your

00:32:39.640 balls.

00:32:39.980 balls.

00:32:41.260 So remember,

00:32:44.040 persuasion is

00:32:44.820 about accessing

00:32:45.840 the irrational

00:32:46.560 part of the

00:32:47.060 brain.

00:32:47.780 It's not

00:32:48.200 about the

00:32:48.580 logic of

00:32:49.120 it.

00:32:51.380 Men are

00:32:52.000 actually more

00:32:52.680 afraid of

00:32:53.100 losing their

00:32:53.580 balls than 0.92

00:32:54.280 they are

00:32:54.520 afraid of

00:32:55.020 most things.

00:32:57.100 So you

00:32:57.500 just say,

00:32:58.000 you know,

00:32:58.460 you better

00:32:58.820 freeze your

00:32:59.340 sperm because

00:33:00.000 you go to

00:33:00.880 Ukraine and

00:33:01.480 you're not

00:33:01.780 going to

00:33:01.940 have balls

00:33:02.340 when you

00:33:02.840 come back.

00:33:03.300 get a

00:33:09.640 Russian ball

00:33:10.260 and make

00:33:10.540 a Rob

00:33:10.900 Reiner.

00:33:11.800 You're

00:33:12.360 stretching.

00:33:15.480 All right.

00:33:16.960 How in the

00:33:17.740 world did I

00:33:19.220 learn only

00:33:19.940 today that

00:33:21.620 Bill Cosby is

00:33:22.720 a free man?

00:33:24.740 How did I

00:33:25.220 miss that

00:33:25.580 story?

00:33:26.660 Did anybody

00:33:27.600 miss that

00:33:28.080 too?

00:33:29.140 Do you know

00:33:29.780 that he's

00:33:30.140 totally free?

00:33:32.760 Like,

00:33:33.300 not even

00:33:33.740 on parole.

00:33:35.300 He's like,

00:33:36.500 free.

00:33:38.780 I didn't

00:33:39.440 even know

00:33:39.820 it until

00:33:40.120 today.

00:33:41.020 Apparently

00:33:41.340 it happened

00:33:41.640 a little

00:33:41.920 while ago.

00:33:42.820 Yeah,

00:33:43.020 so I guess

00:33:43.520 his case

00:33:44.020 got overturned

00:33:45.820 by a higher

00:33:46.620 court and

00:33:47.760 the reason

00:33:48.240 for the

00:33:48.640 overturning,

00:33:49.240 it wasn't

00:33:49.640 terrible.

00:33:51.140 Like,

00:33:51.460 it's not

00:33:51.820 justice for

00:33:52.560 sure.

00:33:53.380 There's no

00:33:53.800 justice

00:33:54.180 happening here.

00:33:55.260 But the

00:33:55.880 legal reason

00:33:57.600 for overturning,

00:33:58.340 I actually

00:33:58.800 agreed with.

00:34:00.280 I mean,

00:34:00.540 it's a

00:34:00.800 horrible

00:34:01.180 outcome.

00:34:01.920 But the

00:34:03.200 legal reason

00:34:03.780 was a

00:34:04.160 technical

00:34:04.520 one,

00:34:05.160 that a

00:34:06.260 prosecutor

00:34:06.800 had promised

00:34:07.640 him he

00:34:08.000 wouldn't be

00:34:08.740 brought up

00:34:10.280 on charges

00:34:11.780 on this

00:34:12.260 specific case

00:34:13.000 he got

00:34:14.100 convicted of,

00:34:16.560 that he

00:34:17.120 wouldn't be

00:34:17.480 brought up

00:34:17.820 on charges

00:34:18.540 if he

00:34:19.160 testified in

00:34:20.140 a civil

00:34:20.640 case.

00:34:21.440 Because the

00:34:22.160 thinking was

00:34:22.780 it would be

00:34:23.180 too hard to

00:34:23.780 convict him

00:34:24.300 on a

00:34:25.200 criminal case,

00:34:26.260 but at least

00:34:26.940 the victim

00:34:27.560 could get

00:34:28.700 some money

00:34:29.240 if he'd

00:34:30.260 at least

00:34:30.560 be willing

00:34:31.000 to deal

00:34:31.440 with it

00:34:31.720 on a

00:34:32.000 civil

00:34:32.240 basis

00:34:32.640 so he

00:34:33.360 doesn't

00:34:33.600 go to

00:34:33.880 jail.

00:34:34.900 So that

00:34:35.440 was the

00:34:35.780 deal,

00:34:36.820 and Cosby

00:34:37.440 accepted the

00:34:38.140 deal.

00:34:39.300 Now,

00:34:39.860 it wasn't

00:34:40.300 written,

00:34:40.780 but I guess

00:34:41.140 it was

00:34:41.400 spoken at

00:34:41.980 one point

00:34:42.400 so they

00:34:42.720 could confirm

00:34:43.300 the deal

00:34:43.660 actually

00:34:44.000 existed.

00:34:44.900 There's a

00:34:45.320 tape of

00:34:45.980 it,

00:34:46.160 I guess.

00:34:47.180 And I

00:34:48.520 hate to

00:34:49.220 say it,

00:34:49.560 but I

00:34:49.800 agree with

00:34:50.320 the upper

00:34:50.820 court.

00:34:51.840 A deal's

00:34:52.280 a deal.

00:34:54.180 And it's

00:34:54.800 terrible.

00:34:56.160 It's

00:34:56.420 terrible.

00:34:56.880 I think it

00:34:57.420 was written,

00:34:57.940 you're right.

00:34:58.300 Yeah,

00:34:58.900 it probably

00:34:59.260 was written.

00:35:01.300 But the

00:35:01.860 argument was

00:35:02.440 that the

00:35:02.760 next

00:35:03.020 prosecutor

00:35:03.540 said,

00:35:04.060 I didn't

00:35:04.300 make the

00:35:05.420 offer,

00:35:05.780 right?

00:35:06.360 So the

00:35:06.760 next

00:35:07.020 prosecutor

00:35:07.600 said,

00:35:08.080 oh,

00:35:08.320 that doesn't

00:35:08.940 bind me.

00:35:10.140 But the

00:35:10.560 upper

00:35:10.740 court said,

00:35:11.320 it sure as hell

00:35:11.800 binds you,

00:35:12.320 it's the same

00:35:12.700 job.

00:35:13.660 Yeah,

00:35:13.900 it does

00:35:14.120 bind you.

00:35:14.740 And I

00:35:15.040 agree with

00:35:15.420 that.

00:35:15.820 I agree

00:35:16.200 with the

00:35:16.500 decision.

00:35:16.980 I hate

00:35:17.260 the fact

00:35:17.600 that he's

00:35:18.100 released,

00:35:18.820 of course,

00:35:19.460 but tough

00:35:21.300 choices.

00:35:22.240 Tough

00:35:22.520 choices.

00:35:23.660 And he's

00:35:24.100 actually

00:35:24.340 considering,

00:35:25.120 he's

00:35:25.880 considering going

00:35:27.360 back on the,

00:35:28.220 stand-up comedy

00:35:29.760 tour.

00:35:31.400 How in the

00:35:32.080 world is that

00:35:32.680 going to work

00:35:33.060 out for him?

00:35:34.680 How in the

00:35:35.400 world is that

00:35:36.120 going to work

00:35:36.500 out?

00:35:37.700 I don't know.

00:35:38.180 So Rasmussen had

00:35:45.120 a poll about

00:35:45.980 Trump's taxes

00:35:47.500 and asked,

00:35:49.860 how many

00:35:50.080 people would

00:35:50.460 like to see

00:35:51.020 Congress when

00:35:53.200 Republicans have

00:35:54.160 some control in

00:35:55.300 the House?

00:35:56.200 How would

00:35:56.640 they like to

00:35:57.100 see some

00:35:57.540 revenge?

00:36:00.040 And see the

00:36:01.040 other Congress

00:36:01.860 people's,

00:36:03.180 whoever voted to

00:36:04.280 see his tax

00:36:05.220 returns,

00:36:05.760 maybe we should

00:36:06.320 see their tax

00:36:07.320 returns.

00:36:08.140 54% say,

00:36:09.520 yeah,

00:36:09.720 let's see,

00:36:10.200 let's see his

00:36:11.060 accuser's tax

00:36:12.000 returns.

00:36:17.060 What do you

00:36:17.760 think?

00:36:19.740 Well,

00:36:20.400 I have two

00:36:21.160 feelings about

00:36:21.820 that.

00:36:23.280 First feeling

00:36:24.120 is,

00:36:25.460 why do we

00:36:28.100 think that

00:36:28.620 modifying the

00:36:29.520 republic to

00:36:31.220 make revenge,

00:36:33.080 like revenge a

00:36:34.120 main element of

00:36:35.000 the republic,

00:36:35.480 republic?

00:36:35.880 Why do we

00:36:36.340 think that's a

00:36:36.860 good idea?

00:36:38.420 That's like the

00:36:38.940 worst idea ever.

00:36:40.740 On the other

00:36:41.540 hand,

00:36:43.160 can you allow

00:36:45.140 your side to

00:36:46.740 get pushed

00:36:47.360 without pushing

00:36:48.520 back?

00:36:49.680 Well, I don't

00:36:50.420 like the word

00:36:50.920 revenge.

00:36:52.300 I do like

00:36:53.720 mutually assured

00:36:54.640 destruction.

00:36:56.240 Mutually assured

00:36:56.940 destruction totally

00:36:57.840 works for me.

00:36:58.720 I don't like

00:36:59.280 revenge.

00:36:59.820 You know,

00:37:01.120 as soon as you

00:37:01.680 allow yourself

00:37:02.400 that you can

00:37:02.860 have a revenge

00:37:03.600 based system,

00:37:04.480 then you're

00:37:05.120 off the rails.

00:37:06.660 Right?

00:37:07.080 As soon as

00:37:07.700 revenge is even

00:37:08.720 a word that you

00:37:09.620 allow into the

00:37:10.720 conversation,

00:37:11.760 I don't want

00:37:12.780 any part of

00:37:13.280 that system.

00:37:14.260 I don't want

00:37:14.740 to get revenge

00:37:15.400 on anybody.

00:37:16.240 I don't want

00:37:16.580 it to get

00:37:16.940 revenge on me.

00:37:18.240 No revenge.

00:37:19.560 But mutually

00:37:20.200 assured destruction

00:37:21.120 can be very

00:37:22.300 productive.

00:37:23.280 You know,

00:37:23.500 if you do this

00:37:24.160 to us,

00:37:24.700 we guarantee

00:37:25.300 it's going

00:37:25.680 to happen

00:37:25.980 back.

00:37:26.380 So on

00:37:27.660 that basis,

00:37:29.360 I approve

00:37:30.220 of looking

00:37:31.480 at the tax

00:37:32.180 returns of

00:37:32.680 anybody who

00:37:33.140 asked to

00:37:33.520 look at

00:37:33.760 this.

00:37:34.700 I do think

00:37:35.320 that that's

00:37:36.280 a guardrail

00:37:38.480 or, you

00:37:39.700 know,

00:37:40.100 or let's

00:37:40.860 say a risk

00:37:41.500 that should

00:37:42.440 be introduced

00:37:42.960 into the

00:37:43.580 system.

00:37:44.580 Because I

00:37:45.200 don't think

00:37:45.560 it's unreasonable

00:37:46.340 to ask to

00:37:47.160 see somebody's

00:37:47.740 tax returns

00:37:48.500 under certain

00:37:49.740 situations.

00:37:51.260 You know,

00:37:51.440 it has to

00:37:51.800 be the right

00:37:52.180 situation.

00:37:53.640 But there

00:37:54.920 should be a

00:37:55.380 cost to it.

00:37:56.000 It can't

00:37:56.600 be free.

00:37:57.860 So let's

00:37:58.540 put a price

00:37:59.000 on it and

00:37:59.540 then see if

00:37:59.940 they want

00:38:00.200 to pay it.

00:38:00.880 So I'm

00:38:01.480 all in

00:38:02.040 favor of

00:38:02.640 opening up

00:38:03.780 the tax

00:38:04.160 returns of

00:38:04.660 anybody who

00:38:05.040 wanted to

00:38:05.400 see his.

00:38:07.720 Especially

00:38:08.120 since there's

00:38:08.680 no specific

00:38:09.340 accusation,

00:38:10.140 right?

00:38:10.900 If there

00:38:11.440 were some

00:38:11.820 specific

00:38:12.400 accusation,

00:38:13.780 I would

00:38:14.300 say,

00:38:14.540 okay,

00:38:14.840 the other

00:38:15.140 people don't

00:38:15.600 have any

00:38:16.040 specific

00:38:16.520 accusations,

00:38:17.540 so we're

00:38:18.060 not going

00:38:18.380 to go

00:38:18.560 just fishing

00:38:19.180 around in

00:38:19.720 their taxes

00:38:20.200 just to see

00:38:21.220 if there's

00:38:21.560 a problem.

00:38:22.420 But that's

00:38:22.960 exactly what

00:38:23.560 they're doing

00:38:23.860 to Trump.

00:38:25.060 They're just

00:38:25.620 going to

00:38:25.860 fish around.

00:38:27.680 So that

00:38:28.140 has to be

00:38:28.540 equal.

00:38:29.900 That has to

00:38:30.500 work both

00:38:30.940 ways.

00:38:31.660 Because then

00:38:32.100 you have a

00:38:32.620 healthier risk

00:38:34.120 reward profile

00:38:35.060 in your

00:38:35.480 government.

00:38:36.720 And then

00:38:37.000 maybe the

00:38:37.380 republic can

00:38:37.920 actually work.

00:38:39.220 But revenge?

00:38:40.000 No.

00:38:40.260 You've got to

00:38:40.500 get rid of

00:38:40.860 revenge.

00:38:41.300 All right.

00:38:47.380 Did you

00:38:48.340 see a

00:38:49.040 fake news

00:38:49.860 that the

00:38:51.160 White House

00:38:51.960 COVID

00:38:52.920 advisor,

00:38:53.700 Dr.

00:38:54.540 Jha,

00:38:55.480 J-H-A, 0.99

00:38:57.000 according to

00:38:58.100 the fake

00:38:59.340 video that

00:39:00.020 you'll see

00:39:00.300 on video,

00:39:01.460 he admitted

00:39:02.300 on a recent

00:39:02.900 Zoom call

00:39:03.440 that,

00:39:04.140 quote,

00:39:04.820 no study

00:39:05.540 in the

00:39:05.820 world that

00:39:06.300 shows that

00:39:06.840 masks work.

00:39:08.820 Number one,

00:39:09.500 did he say

00:39:09.860 that?

00:39:10.140 Yes,

00:39:11.820 he did.

00:39:12.680 That's an

00:39:13.140 exact quote.

00:39:15.300 Does that

00:39:15.960 blow your 0.91

00:39:16.320 mind?

00:39:18.040 It's a

00:39:18.680 fake quote,

00:39:19.500 but it's

00:39:20.280 also real.

00:39:21.380 Do you

00:39:21.660 know how

00:39:21.920 they get

00:39:22.240 a real

00:39:22.800 quote that's

00:39:23.320 also fake?

00:39:24.320 They

00:39:24.560 Rupar it.

00:39:25.700 Yeah,

00:39:25.860 the Rupar

00:39:26.420 is you

00:39:26.980 take,

00:39:27.320 it's a

00:39:27.560 real quote,

00:39:28.800 but it's

00:39:29.240 incomplete

00:39:29.780 because they

00:39:30.420 take the

00:39:30.820 context down.

00:39:32.060 Do you

00:39:32.300 know what

00:39:32.480 the end

00:39:32.880 of the

00:39:33.140 sentence

00:39:33.400 was?

00:39:34.760 The end

00:39:35.640 of his

00:39:35.960 sentence

00:39:36.320 was very

00:39:37.740 well.

00:39:38.380 In other

00:39:38.680 words,

00:39:39.520 there's a

00:39:40.120 study in

00:39:40.880 the world

00:39:41.180 that shows

00:39:41.680 that masks

00:39:42.380 work very

00:39:43.500 well.

00:39:45.480 The whole

00:39:46.180 context is

00:39:46.900 missing.

00:39:48.520 I'm guessing

00:39:49.420 the context

00:39:50.440 was,

00:39:51.280 do you

00:39:52.740 need

00:39:52.960 vaccinations?

00:39:55.340 If you're

00:39:56.000 wearing masks,

00:39:56.800 why do you

00:39:57.240 need vaccinations?

00:39:59.060 I don't know

00:39:59.760 if that's the

00:40:00.200 context,

00:40:00.660 but it would

00:40:00.920 make sense.

00:40:01.920 Well,

00:40:02.220 if you were

00:40:02.580 answering that

00:40:03.000 question,

00:40:03.900 he would say,

00:40:04.660 there's no

00:40:05.260 study that

00:40:05.780 say masks

00:40:06.620 work that

00:40:07.420 well,

00:40:07.720 so well

00:40:08.880 that you

00:40:09.200 don't need

00:40:09.580 vaccinations.

00:40:10.940 I'm not

00:40:11.340 promoting

00:40:11.640 vaccinations.

00:40:12.780 This is

00:40:13.440 an imaginary

00:40:14.380 conversation

00:40:15.040 by somebody

00:40:15.620 else,

00:40:15.920 right?

00:40:17.100 So that's

00:40:17.780 probably the

00:40:18.300 context.

00:40:19.360 But somebody

00:40:19.980 took the

00:40:20.900 very well

00:40:21.700 part,

00:40:22.180 which would

00:40:22.600 say that

00:40:23.000 masks do

00:40:23.680 work,

00:40:24.800 just not

00:40:25.300 very well,

00:40:26.560 and reversed

00:40:28.460 it to say

00:40:29.120 that there's

00:40:29.560 no study

00:40:30.020 that says

00:40:30.400 they work

00:40:30.780 at all.

00:40:31.860 Now,

00:40:32.160 I'm not

00:40:32.600 supporting

00:40:33.680 masks.

00:40:34.740 I don't

00:40:35.000 want any

00:40:35.360 mandates.

00:40:35.860 I don't

00:40:36.900 know what

00:40:37.160 the studies

00:40:37.640 say,

00:40:38.200 because I

00:40:38.440 don't believe

00:40:38.820 any study

00:40:39.340 about masks.

00:40:41.020 But this

00:40:41.940 is fake

00:40:42.320 news.

00:40:43.160 Would you

00:40:43.460 all agree?

00:40:47.380 It's

00:40:47.860 fake news.

00:40:49.380 Yeah.

00:40:49.860 So just

00:40:50.200 know that.

00:40:50.800 Oh,

00:40:51.020 speaking of

00:40:51.520 Dr.

00:40:51.880 Drew,

00:40:53.160 I caught

00:40:54.780 a Spaces,

00:40:56.280 the Spaces

00:40:57.560 portion of

00:40:58.180 his show,

00:40:59.880 and you

00:41:00.740 have to hear,

00:41:02.120 it's one

00:41:02.340 of the

00:41:02.540 best podcasts

00:41:05.320 about anything

00:41:06.320 that I've

00:41:07.280 seen in a

00:41:07.600 long time.

00:41:08.220 And he's

00:41:08.560 having a

00:41:08.900 conversation

00:41:09.300 with another

00:41:09.940 doctor,

00:41:11.640 and the

00:41:11.900 two of

00:41:12.140 them are

00:41:12.400 talking about

00:41:12.980 the

00:41:14.140 difficulties

00:41:14.720 of knowing

00:41:16.820 what's true

00:41:17.740 and what

00:41:18.040 isn't in

00:41:18.960 the medical

00:41:19.360 field,

00:41:20.200 and how

00:41:20.520 doctors don't 0.99

00:41:21.300 really have

00:41:22.000 all the

00:41:22.280 training they

00:41:22.820 need to

00:41:23.860 analyze the

00:41:24.460 studies and

00:41:25.020 the data.

00:41:25.640 It's really

00:41:26.360 good.

00:41:27.360 So I

00:41:27.880 retweeted it.

00:41:29.080 You can

00:41:29.380 find that in

00:41:30.200 Dr. Drew's

00:41:30.980 feed, or

00:41:31.880 you'll see the

00:41:32.760 retweet in

00:41:33.240 mine on

00:41:33.960 Twitter.

00:41:34.180 Highly

00:41:35.720 recommend it.

00:41:36.380 It's a

00:41:36.640 good, it's

00:41:37.960 like 15

00:41:38.520 minutes that

00:41:39.060 will really

00:41:39.500 put some

00:41:40.380 context on

00:41:41.260 it for

00:41:41.520 you.

00:41:44.240 How many

00:41:45.080 of you

00:41:45.600 saw that

00:41:46.540 Andrew

00:41:49.480 Taint and

00:41:50.400 Greta

00:41:51.720 Thunberg are 0.93

00:41:52.520 trending

00:41:53.080 together today?

00:41:55.220 Is 0.88

00:41:55.700 everybody up

00:41:56.360 to date on

00:41:56.780 that news?

00:41:58.440 Now,

00:42:00.420 I'm

00:42:01.820 hesitant to

00:42:03.480 even report

00:42:04.120 the story

00:42:04.680 because Greta

00:42:07.500 did something

00:42:08.120 that to

00:42:09.660 me is

00:42:10.180 unconscionable.

00:42:12.080 So I

00:42:13.780 have my

00:42:14.180 complaints about

00:42:15.180 Greta and

00:42:15.660 climate change,

00:42:16.660 but what

00:42:17.440 Greta tweeted

00:42:18.120 is completely

00:42:19.720 unacceptable.

00:42:21.540 She did

00:42:22.120 body shaming.

00:42:24.320 Now,

00:42:25.120 body shaming,

00:42:26.160 I think you

00:42:26.960 know,

00:42:27.740 I don't do.

00:42:28.980 I'm totally

00:42:31.320 against it.

00:42:32.460 There's just

00:42:32.900 nothing good

00:42:33.720 about that,

00:42:34.260 right?

00:42:35.140 Now,

00:42:35.660 so I don't

00:42:36.040 do it for

00:42:36.520 people who

00:42:36.980 are overweight

00:42:37.520 because I

00:42:38.020 understand

00:42:38.420 everybody's

00:42:39.860 different.

00:42:41.960 I don't do

00:42:42.740 it for if

00:42:43.320 you're missing

00:42:43.700 a leg.

00:42:45.040 I'm not

00:42:45.380 going to

00:42:45.560 body shame

00:42:46.040 you for

00:42:46.360 missing a

00:42:46.860 leg.

00:42:48.360 But let me

00:42:49.160 tell you the

00:42:49.560 story.

00:42:50.640 So the

00:42:51.000 story is,

00:42:51.620 you know,

00:42:51.920 Andrew Tate

00:42:55.060 was trying

00:42:56.080 to mock

00:42:56.620 her and

00:42:57.180 trying to

00:42:57.620 win some

00:42:58.080 points by

00:42:59.020 saying he's

00:42:59.460 had lots of

00:42:59.980 cars and

00:43:00.660 he pollutes

00:43:01.320 or creates

00:43:02.060 a lot of

00:43:02.340 CO2 and

00:43:03.120 so on.

00:43:04.120 And then

00:43:04.500 she responded

00:43:05.220 with a

00:43:05.520 hashtag,

00:43:06.720 which the

00:43:07.640 hashtag

00:43:08.180 humorously

00:43:09.100 accuses him

00:43:13.180 of having

00:43:13.940 a male body

00:43:14.840 part that's

00:43:15.620 undersized.

00:43:17.260 Now,

00:43:18.340 why is

00:43:18.980 that okay?

00:43:20.880 Well,

00:43:21.100 why is

00:43:22.760 the left

00:43:23.120 okay with

00:43:23.560 body shaming

00:43:24.160 suddenly?

00:43:25.180 And everybody

00:43:25.640 is,

00:43:25.920 go,

00:43:26.280 Greta.

00:43:27.260 That was

00:43:27.840 some great

00:43:28.240 body shaming.

00:43:30.340 Is it

00:43:30.740 because it's

00:43:31.200 a man you

00:43:31.680 don't like?

00:43:32.920 So therefore

00:43:33.560 it's okay?

00:43:34.700 So if

00:43:35.060 there was,

00:43:36.820 let's say,

00:43:37.240 an overweight

00:43:37.720 woman you 0.99

00:43:38.420 didn't like,

00:43:39.600 then you

00:43:39.960 could do

00:43:40.280 some body

00:43:40.720 shaming?

00:43:41.420 Is that

00:43:41.680 what you're

00:43:41.920 saying?

00:43:43.120 What kind

00:43:43.760 of standard

00:43:44.120 is that?

00:43:45.460 No,

00:43:46.020 I hate to

00:43:46.720 do it,

00:43:47.360 but I

00:43:49.000 think Greta

00:43:49.500 is,

00:43:49.940 in

00:43:52.160 disgusting

00:43:53.080 territory.

00:43:54.380 Disgusting.

00:43:56.900 Disgusting.

00:43:58.180 On the

00:43:58.740 other hand,

00:43:59.120 he does

00:43:59.440 have a lot

00:43:59.900 of sports

00:44:00.300 cars.

00:44:03.280 Trying to

00:44:03.860 be even

00:44:04.240 handed here.

00:44:05.460 On one

00:44:05.860 hand,

00:44:06.220 no body

00:44:06.700 shaming.

00:44:07.300 On the

00:44:07.600 other hand,

00:44:08.000 he has a

00:44:08.500 lot of

00:44:08.840 sports cars.

00:44:10.920 I don't

00:44:11.500 know why

00:44:11.820 anybody needs

00:44:12.420 so many.

00:44:14.160 I don't

00:44:14.640 know why.

00:44:15.780 It's just

00:44:16.220 a fact that

00:44:17.200 you can

00:44:17.480 process.

00:44:17.860 Here,

00:44:20.380 Trump has

00:44:20.860 been proven

00:44:21.300 right again

00:44:21.920 because

00:44:23.740 Britain is 0.61

00:44:24.900 restricting

00:44:25.480 travel from

00:44:26.700 China.

00:44:28.020 Do you

00:44:28.520 remember when

00:44:29.080 Trump

00:44:29.900 restricted

00:44:30.680 travel from

00:44:31.500 China when

00:44:32.120 the pandemic

00:44:32.780 was new?

00:44:34.260 And what

00:44:36.460 did Biden

00:44:36.860 say?

00:44:37.780 He said

00:44:38.180 that Trump

00:44:38.560 was being

00:44:38.940 racist against

00:44:39.900 Asians by

00:44:41.900 temporarily

00:44:42.440 saying we

00:44:43.720 better halt

00:44:44.260 our immigration

00:44:45.040 to make

00:44:45.760 sure we

00:44:46.860 can protect

00:44:47.340 ourselves.

00:44:48.400 And now

00:44:48.840 Biden is

00:44:50.780 requiring a

00:44:52.100 negative

00:44:52.460 COVID test

00:44:53.380 if you're

00:44:53.760 coming from

00:44:54.280 China.

00:44:56.420 Same damn

00:44:57.240 thing.

00:44:58.760 So just

00:45:00.620 add this to

00:45:01.180 your list of

00:45:01.720 things Trump

00:45:02.520 was right

00:45:02.960 about that

00:45:04.040 Biden would

00:45:04.560 have to

00:45:04.920 copy

00:45:05.300 reluctantly.

00:45:07.240 So Biden

00:45:07.700 is now

00:45:08.140 copying

00:45:08.640 Trump

00:45:09.080 reluctantly

00:45:10.020 after having

00:45:11.360 criticized him

00:45:12.100 for the

00:45:12.460 very same

00:45:12.860 thing.

00:45:13.120 speaking of

00:45:16.380 Trump.

00:45:17.380 So Trump

00:45:17.820 was subpoenaed

00:45:18.580 by that

00:45:18.960 January 6th

00:45:19.820 hoax

00:45:20.080 committee and

00:45:21.540 they withdrew

00:45:22.740 because I

00:45:23.820 guess

00:45:24.060 Harmeet

00:45:24.960 Dhillon

00:45:26.100 went after

00:45:28.480 them

00:45:28.760 effectively.

00:45:29.500 I think

00:45:29.760 this is

00:45:30.120 the reason.

00:45:31.060 So I

00:45:31.320 think Harmeet

00:45:31.880 went after

00:45:32.400 them on

00:45:32.840 separation of

00:45:33.560 powers.

00:45:34.660 You know

00:45:34.840 that the

00:45:35.120 president

00:45:35.460 should be

00:45:35.880 separate and

00:45:36.680 not beholden

00:45:37.520 to the

00:45:37.800 Congress.

00:45:38.220 So if

00:45:39.440 Congress can

00:45:40.180 subpoena the

00:45:40.760 president it's

00:45:41.940 a pretty good

00:45:42.300 argument and

00:45:43.180 apparently it

00:45:43.800 succeeded.

00:45:45.020 If Congress

00:45:45.880 can basically

00:45:46.640 bitch slap 1.00

00:45:47.260 the president

00:45:47.920 outside of

00:45:49.540 the realm

00:45:49.960 of impeachment

00:45:51.440 which is

00:45:52.900 specified

00:45:53.540 then it's

00:45:54.940 not a true

00:45:55.360 separation of

00:45:55.960 powers.

00:45:56.840 I have to

00:45:57.260 admit I

00:45:58.680 would not

00:45:59.000 have thought

00:45:59.340 of that one.

00:46:00.180 I guess

00:46:00.440 that's why

00:46:00.780 I'm not a

00:46:01.140 lawyer.

00:46:02.040 But that

00:46:02.820 was a good

00:46:03.120 play.

00:46:04.560 So well

00:46:05.100 played.

00:46:05.760 Harmeet.

00:46:06.740 Nicely done.

00:46:08.220 Trump has

00:46:09.700 said some

00:46:11.640 things about

00:46:12.100 abortion and

00:46:12.700 Social Security

00:46:13.380 in a

00:46:13.980 Breitbart

00:46:14.420 interview.

00:46:16.660 So the

00:46:18.280 first thing

00:46:18.700 that Trump

00:46:19.040 says is

00:46:19.540 that there

00:46:19.860 are two

00:46:20.180 traps that

00:46:20.860 Republicans

00:46:21.320 fall into.

00:46:22.840 One is

00:46:23.440 being open

00:46:24.140 to adjusting

00:46:26.040 Social Security

00:46:27.300 which Trump

00:46:28.620 quite accurately

00:46:29.640 quite correctly

00:46:31.280 says no

00:46:32.260 that's a

00:46:32.680 contract.

00:46:34.080 That's a

00:46:34.520 contract with

00:46:35.220 the people

00:46:35.540 who paid

00:46:35.920 Social Security.

00:46:36.680 You can't

00:46:37.680 violate the

00:46:38.180 contract.

00:46:39.040 Now how

00:46:39.400 much do

00:46:39.820 you love

00:46:40.380 the fact

00:46:41.660 that Trump

00:46:42.100 says that?

00:46:43.760 Right now

00:46:44.120 he's being

00:46:44.480 political when

00:46:45.180 he says it

00:46:45.700 but his

00:46:46.420 reason is

00:46:47.040 you don't

00:46:47.520 go back

00:46:48.200 on a

00:46:48.480 deal.

00:46:49.260 I fucking

00:46:49.900 love that.

00:46:51.160 I just

00:46:51.460 love that.

00:46:52.460 Like I

00:46:52.760 want my

00:46:53.180 president

00:46:53.560 to say

00:46:54.900 you know

00:46:55.260 what?

00:46:56.020 You don't

00:46:56.380 go back

00:46:56.740 on a

00:46:56.980 deal with

00:46:57.300 the

00:46:57.420 American

00:46:57.680 people.

00:46:59.180 Even

00:46:59.620 if you

00:46:59.860 have a

00:47:00.080 reason.

00:47:01.180 Even

00:47:01.380 if you

00:47:01.580 have a

00:47:01.780 good

00:47:01.940 reason.

00:47:03.020 Our

00:47:03.280 budget's

00:47:03.760 in

00:47:04.320 trouble.

00:47:04.820 That's a

00:47:05.100 good

00:47:05.220 reason.

00:47:05.500 But just

00:47:06.900 saying we're

00:47:07.340 not going

00:47:07.620 to go

00:47:07.980 back on

00:47:08.340 a deal

00:47:08.660 with the

00:47:08.980 American

00:47:09.240 people,

00:47:09.760 that's

00:47:10.180 strong.

00:47:11.600 That's

00:47:11.940 exactly the

00:47:12.980 kind of

00:47:13.260 strength I'd

00:47:14.260 like to

00:47:14.500 hear.

00:47:15.040 So that's

00:47:15.520 a good

00:47:15.720 move.

00:47:17.040 His other

00:47:17.560 advice to the

00:47:20.060 Republicans is

00:47:21.440 about how to

00:47:21.920 talk about

00:47:22.320 abortion.

00:47:22.720 Trump says

00:47:23.940 you have to

00:47:25.680 have the

00:47:25.940 three

00:47:26.180 exceptions

00:47:26.740 in order

00:47:28.680 to get

00:47:29.000 elected.

00:47:29.940 Now it's

00:47:30.440 not necessarily

00:47:31.120 his personal

00:47:31.940 opinion,

00:47:32.760 but he's

00:47:33.060 saying

00:47:33.220 politically

00:47:33.720 you're

00:47:34.700 going to

00:47:34.880 have to

00:47:35.260 say that

00:47:36.460 abortion

00:47:36.860 would be

00:47:37.300 okay under

00:47:38.000 three

00:47:38.340 exceptions,

00:47:40.360 as long

00:47:41.240 as it's

00:47:41.520 within the

00:47:42.080 time period

00:47:42.780 I guess,

00:47:44.940 of what

00:47:45.500 is it,

00:47:45.780 rape,

00:47:46.180 incest,

00:47:47.560 what's the

00:47:48.740 third one?

00:47:49.160 rape,

00:47:51.900 incest,

00:47:52.600 and oh

00:47:53.160 yeah,

00:47:53.460 the health

00:47:54.180 of the

00:47:54.460 mother,

00:47:54.760 the life

00:47:55.080 of the

00:47:55.300 mother,

00:47:55.880 if it's

00:47:56.620 to save

00:47:56.980 the mother's

00:47:57.400 life.

00:47:58.240 Now I'm

00:47:59.440 not giving

00:47:59.860 you an 0.64

00:48:00.200 opinion

00:48:00.500 one way

00:48:01.360 or the

00:48:01.700 other,

00:48:02.380 because my

00:48:03.560 opinion on

00:48:04.360 abortion is 0.64

00:48:05.760 that the

00:48:07.380 consensus of

00:48:08.380 women should 1.00

00:48:09.140 be leading

00:48:10.240 that,

00:48:11.300 not the

00:48:11.760 opinion of

00:48:12.240 a man.

00:48:13.520 So don't

00:48:14.260 imagine you're

00:48:15.080 hearing my

00:48:15.500 opinion about

00:48:16.040 abortion.

00:48:16.680 I'm completely

00:48:17.500 recusing

00:48:18.040 myself,

00:48:18.680 and I'm

00:48:19.020 going with

00:48:20.380 the female 1.00

00:48:21.200 preference.

00:48:22.660 I think that's

00:48:23.140 just a better

00:48:23.600 way to

00:48:23.980 organize society.

00:48:26.300 And now

00:48:26.720 the question

00:48:27.780 you ask is,

00:48:28.500 is there

00:48:28.680 anything like

00:48:29.140 that the

00:48:29.660 other way?

00:48:30.680 Is there

00:48:31.000 anything where

00:48:31.500 you say,

00:48:31.880 hey,

00:48:32.040 women should 1.00

00:48:32.540 just stay

00:48:32.940 out of this

00:48:33.300 question?

00:48:34.200 Yes.

00:48:35.960 Circumcision.

00:48:37.140 Stay out of

00:48:37.800 it.

00:48:38.980 Let the men 0.99

00:48:39.760 figure it out.

00:48:41.040 And we'll

00:48:41.700 let you do

00:48:42.200 your thing.

00:48:43.620 Let us do

00:48:44.360 our thing.

00:48:45.180 Now it's

00:48:45.620 not that you

00:48:46.040 can't have an

00:48:46.500 opinion, but I

00:48:47.080 don't want to

00:48:47.420 listen to it.

00:48:47.940 I just

00:48:48.780 wouldn't want

00:48:49.160 to listen to

00:48:49.580 it.

00:48:52.080 All right.

00:48:52.760 What do you

00:48:53.260 think?

00:48:53.620 Do you think

00:48:54.120 that Trump's

00:48:54.780 political instincts,

00:48:56.480 let's see if we

00:48:57.100 can keep it to

00:48:57.660 the political,

00:48:58.800 forget about

00:48:59.580 whether you

00:49:00.000 like the

00:49:00.400 three exceptions.

00:49:01.340 Is he right

00:49:03.460 politically?

00:49:04.680 Because I think

00:49:05.480 he is.

00:49:06.720 Right?

00:49:06.980 Yeah.

00:49:07.880 Now, when I

00:49:10.040 listen, one of the

00:49:11.640 things you forget

00:49:12.380 about Trump,

00:49:13.760 because he

00:49:14.400 creates so much

00:49:15.300 activity and

00:49:16.980 makes your

00:49:17.320 brain catch

00:49:17.840 on fire and

00:49:18.400 stuff, one

00:49:19.320 of the things

00:49:19.660 you forget

00:49:20.120 about him is

00:49:20.840 how savvy

00:49:21.420 he is.

00:49:22.800 He's just

00:49:23.300 smarter about

00:49:25.080 politics.

00:49:26.960 Now, he has

00:49:28.020 his excesses and

00:49:29.000 he says some

00:49:29.540 things that get

00:49:30.060 him in trouble

00:49:30.520 and everybody

00:49:31.820 can have their

00:49:32.400 own opinions

00:49:33.900 about that.

00:49:35.220 But in just a

00:49:36.820 pure political

00:49:37.760 calculation,

00:49:39.080 should you say

00:49:39.700 this or should

00:49:40.340 you say that,

00:49:41.000 he is really

00:49:41.500 good at this.

00:49:42.200 And you

00:49:43.040 forget how

00:49:43.520 good he is

00:49:44.100 until you're

00:49:45.080 reminded by

00:49:45.720 this.

00:49:46.200 This is

00:49:46.600 exactly right,

00:49:47.820 politically.

00:49:48.820 Again, not in

00:49:49.920 terms of policy,

00:49:51.220 necessarily.

00:49:59.600 As a woman,

00:50:00.500 you think men

00:50:01.060 should be part

00:50:01.520 of the abortion

00:50:01.960 conversation?

00:50:03.500 Fine.

00:50:04.720 And if those

00:50:05.680 men that you

00:50:06.820 talk about

00:50:07.440 influence you,

00:50:08.280 that's fine,

00:50:08.800 too.

00:50:10.140 I only make

00:50:11.060 the decision

00:50:12.200 for myself.

00:50:14.000 Was that

00:50:14.380 clear?

00:50:15.140 I'm not

00:50:15.700 recommending that

00:50:16.380 other men

00:50:16.840 stay out of

00:50:17.340 it.

00:50:18.520 I guess I

00:50:19.120 should have

00:50:19.360 clarified that.

00:50:20.300 I'm saying I

00:50:20.980 should stay out

00:50:21.560 because I'm a

00:50:22.120 man, a very

00:50:22.740 personal feeling.

00:50:24.540 I don't imply

00:50:26.460 that you should

00:50:27.080 feel the same

00:50:27.600 way.

00:50:28.400 That's just my

00:50:28.940 personal feeling.

00:50:32.600 All right.

00:50:34.400 Half of all

00:50:35.120 fetuses are 0.97

00:50:35.720 male?

00:50:37.000 Yeah.

00:50:37.960 You know, I

00:50:38.700 mean, I

00:50:39.060 understand the

00:50:39.600 argument.

00:50:39.900 I'm just

00:50:41.240 saying the

00:50:41.620 society is

00:50:42.480 better if

00:50:43.100 you let

00:50:44.160 the people

00:50:44.520 with the

00:50:44.860 most skin

00:50:45.340 in the

00:50:45.620 game have

00:50:47.220 the larger

00:50:47.900 part of the

00:50:49.160 decision,

00:50:50.120 just in

00:50:50.580 general.

00:50:54.440 All right.

00:50:57.260 Scott, you

00:50:58.060 did recommend

00:50:58.640 men stay

00:50:59.160 in for

00:50:59.380 political

00:51:00.240 reasons.

00:51:01.280 Yes.

00:51:02.660 Yes.

00:51:03.860 I still

00:51:04.480 recommend that.

00:51:06.220 Was that,

00:51:06.860 is that

00:51:07.480 conflicting with

00:51:08.380 anything I

00:51:08.800 said?

00:51:09.900 Men can do

00:51:11.780 anything they

00:51:12.220 want.

00:51:12.540 I put no

00:51:13.540 restrictions on

00:51:14.260 men.

00:51:15.120 But if the

00:51:16.660 men talk about

00:51:17.340 it, they're

00:51:17.720 hurting themselves

00:51:18.480 politically.

00:51:20.120 But they can

00:51:20.840 do it.

00:51:21.940 And I think if

00:51:23.020 they think the

00:51:23.620 issue is important

00:51:24.740 and they're

00:51:25.740 willing to take

00:51:26.320 a hit to their

00:51:26.940 political futures,

00:51:29.040 absolutely.

00:51:30.240 That would be a

00:51:31.080 completely rational

00:51:31.960 decision.

00:51:33.020 Oh, yeah, it'll

00:51:33.740 hurt me politically,

00:51:34.660 but I have to say

00:51:35.500 what I have to say.

00:51:36.240 Perfectly

00:51:37.920 respectable.

00:51:39.060 I have full

00:51:40.060 respect for that

00:51:40.960 point of view.

00:51:42.800 It's just not

00:51:43.360 mine.

00:51:49.560 Where would

00:51:50.240 someone take an

00:51:50.880 IQ test?

00:51:52.180 Well, the

00:51:53.380 Mensa organization

00:51:54.420 offers them,

00:51:55.640 because you have

00:51:56.220 to pass some

00:51:57.560 kind of IQ test

00:51:58.400 to be in the

00:51:58.900 organization.

00:52:00.000 So that's where

00:52:00.780 I took one.

00:52:01.280 And you need

00:52:02.580 to be, I

00:52:03.460 wouldn't take an

00:52:03.980 online IQ test.

00:52:08.020 Yeah.

00:52:09.380 Oh, that's true.

00:52:10.220 Somebody on

00:52:10.760 Locals says,

00:52:11.820 if you're already

00:52:12.460 a local subscriber,

00:52:13.720 you've already

00:52:14.140 passed the IQ test.

00:52:15.520 I endorse that.

00:52:16.860 Yeah.

00:52:17.260 If you're already

00:52:17.900 a local subscriber,

00:52:19.620 even if you

00:52:21.060 weren't a genius

00:52:21.700 before, you

00:52:22.400 probably are

00:52:23.000 pretty close now.

00:52:23.800 Your IQ is

00:52:30.580 over 140.

00:52:31.420 Is that good?

00:52:32.520 Yeah, that's

00:52:33.040 pretty close to

00:52:33.960 the Mensa

00:52:34.500 thing.

00:52:37.600 So the thing

00:52:38.240 you should know

00:52:38.620 about IQ tests

00:52:39.480 is that they're

00:52:40.080 not, one is

00:52:41.560 not equivalent

00:52:42.180 to the other.

00:52:43.500 So if you

00:52:44.020 scored a 135

00:52:45.140 on one IQ test,

00:52:47.040 it could actually

00:52:47.660 be a better

00:52:48.200 score than a

00:52:48.880 140 on a

00:52:50.460 different test,

00:52:51.560 because they're

00:52:52.120 not exactly

00:52:52.800 comparable like

00:52:53.600 that.

00:52:54.400 So being in

00:52:56.420 the top, let's

00:52:57.160 say, 1% would

00:52:58.540 be a different

00:52:59.020 number on two

00:53:00.000 different tests.

00:53:04.860 Yeah, if you

00:53:05.680 were tested in

00:53:07.140 grade school,

00:53:09.100 your IQ can

00:53:09.820 actually change

00:53:10.820 quite a bit.

00:53:11.560 Did you know

00:53:11.960 that?

00:53:13.120 That your

00:53:13.800 measurable IQ

00:53:15.580 can go up if

00:53:17.640 you're doing

00:53:17.980 all the right

00:53:18.440 stuff.

00:53:19.400 So if you've

00:53:20.020 developed your

00:53:20.640 brain and all

00:53:21.800 the good ways

00:53:22.440 that people

00:53:22.760 develop their

00:53:23.280 brains,

00:53:23.600 your IQ

00:53:24.300 would be

00:53:24.640 higher than

00:53:25.780 it was when

00:53:26.200 you were a

00:53:26.500 kid.

00:53:27.540 And functionally,

00:53:28.640 it would be a

00:53:29.020 lot higher.

00:53:29.840 Because if you

00:53:30.420 have a talent

00:53:31.000 stack and

00:53:32.300 you've exposed

00:53:32.840 yourself to

00:53:33.540 the right kinds

00:53:34.280 of skills that

00:53:34.900 work well

00:53:35.300 together so you

00:53:35.960 can see the

00:53:36.380 whole field,

00:53:37.880 yeah, you

00:53:38.480 would have, so

00:53:39.660 that's what I

00:53:40.340 say about the

00:53:41.000 talent stack.

00:53:42.140 The talent

00:53:42.540 stack is when

00:53:43.140 you organize

00:53:43.980 your skills that

00:53:45.800 really fit

00:53:46.340 together.

00:53:47.280 So you're not

00:53:48.140 just somebody who

00:53:49.060 knows about

00:53:50.160 climate change,

00:53:51.400 you're somebody

00:53:51.860 who's also a

00:53:52.420 good public

00:53:52.820 speaker, and

00:53:54.140 suddenly you're

00:53:54.640 twice as useful.

00:53:56.080 You know about

00:53:56.660 the topic, but

00:53:57.420 you can also

00:53:57.860 teach it twice

00:53:58.780 as good.

00:53:59.540 So if you're

00:53:59.980 putting together

00:54:00.640 different skills

00:54:01.660 that fit together

00:54:02.400 well, especially

00:54:03.820 the ones that

00:54:04.440 give you, let's 0.97

00:54:05.320 say, insight

00:54:06.020 into the other

00:54:07.200 fields, then

00:54:08.620 you're functionally

00:54:09.480 smarter.

00:54:11.080 Your useful IQ

00:54:13.240 for all practical

00:54:14.620 purposes could be

00:54:15.580 up 20 or 50%.

00:54:17.240 So anybody

00:54:18.240 says you can't

00:54:18.980 get smarter is

00:54:19.780 totally wrong.

00:54:20.980 You can totally

00:54:21.720 get smarter.

00:54:23.000 You just have to

00:54:23.840 do the obvious

00:54:24.500 things that would

00:54:25.020 make you that

00:54:25.480 way.

00:54:28.980 Somebody says

00:54:29.700 their IQ is

00:54:30.260 420.

00:54:32.040 Well, I'll

00:54:32.700 tell you, my

00:54:33.220 IQ is 420 at

00:54:35.460 least part of

00:54:35.960 every day.

00:54:36.980 Part of every

00:54:37.780 day my IQ is

00:54:38.680 420, which is

00:54:40.580 interesting because

00:54:41.360 I do feel

00:54:42.440 smarter for the

00:54:43.160 first 10 minutes.

00:54:43.900 Yeah, you

00:54:49.980 should feel

00:54:50.460 smarter now than

00:54:51.240 you were in high

00:54:52.520 school.

00:54:53.180 I would think

00:54:53.860 so.

00:54:56.340 All right, that

00:54:57.060 ladies and 0.98

00:54:57.520 gentlemen is the

00:54:58.420 conclusion of my

00:55:00.160 prepared notes.

00:55:01.120 I'm going to go

00:55:01.640 talk to the

00:55:02.300 locals people

00:55:03.240 privately, and

00:55:05.000 thanks for joining

00:55:05.860 YouTube.

00:55:10.360 I'll talk to you

00:55:11.180 tomorrow.

00:55:13.900 You think my

00:55:14.740 IQ dropped 10

00:55:15.740 points with the

00:55:16.380 jabs? 0.79

00:55:17.520 Maybe.

00:55:18.000 Maybe.
