00:00:00.000 Highlight of civilization.
00:00:02.100 And happy Martin Luther King Day.
00:00:06.580 I'm sure all of you are celebrating in an appropriate way.
00:00:10.140 In a moment, we'll be drinking some black coffee.
00:00:14.140 I think that's how you celebrate.
00:00:15.740 I don't know. I'm not up on my traditions.
00:00:17.840 But that's the way we're going to do it.
00:00:19.660 Or the way I'm going to do it.
00:00:20.700 You could add cream and sugar if you want.
00:00:23.520 But if you'd like to take it up
00:00:25.560 to a full Martin Luther King
00:00:28.700 extraordinary situation
00:00:31.520 all you need is
00:00:32.980 a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or chalice of stein
00:00:35.980 a canteen jug or flask
00:00:37.160 a vessel of any kind
00:00:38.080 filled with your favorite liquid.
00:00:40.260 I like coffee.
00:00:42.580 And join me now
00:00:43.380 for the unparalleled pleasure
00:00:45.640 it's the dopamine of the day
00:00:46.860 thing that makes everything better.
00:00:47.940 It's called
00:00:48.500 the Simultaneous Sip
00:00:51.220 MLK Special Version.
00:00:54.200 Go.
00:00:58.700 Yep, that was good.
00:01:00.720 That was some good stuff.
00:01:02.360 Good stuff there.
00:01:03.800 Now, I don't know what's going to happen today
00:01:05.920 because something really weird
00:01:07.820 happened to me last night.
00:01:10.420 I fell asleep
00:01:11.840 and I forgot to set my alarm
00:01:14.580 and I had a full night of sleep.
00:01:18.240 Full night meaning
00:01:19.060 six hours or so.
00:01:20.400 I don't know when the last time
00:01:22.660 I slept that much was.
00:01:24.280 I might be
00:01:25.040 at my all-time
00:01:26.580 peak performance.
00:01:29.440 So,
00:01:30.420 I mean, I don't like to get you excited
00:01:31.740 but
00:01:32.020 this might be
00:01:33.540 the best live stream
00:01:35.020 you're ever, ever going to see.
00:01:37.040 Well, let's start with
00:01:38.040 a Rasmussen poll.
00:01:39.520 40% of American adults
00:01:41.460 think the nation has reached the day
00:01:44.880 as Martin Luther King hoped
00:01:47.240 when men and women of all races
00:01:50.200 have equal opportunity.
00:01:52.380 Wait, 40%?
00:01:55.100 Only 40% of the country
00:01:56.660 thinks we've achieved
00:01:57.800 equal opportunity?
00:02:00.280 Now, I get that we don't have
00:02:01.620 equal outcomes
00:02:02.480 but only 40% of the country
00:02:05.500 thinks we have
00:02:06.200 equal opportunities?
00:02:09.760 That's not a good number, is it?
00:02:11.860 Feels a little low.
00:02:13.260 Feels a little low.
00:02:14.520 But here's the problem.
00:02:15.680 It's, we're measuring
00:02:17.960 the wrong thing.
00:02:19.320 How many times
00:02:20.340 have I told you
00:02:21.080 if you're not measuring
00:02:22.720 you're not managing anything.
00:02:24.700 You're just letting it run.
00:02:26.480 You know, anything
00:02:27.000 that you don't measure
00:02:28.020 you're not managing
00:02:29.640 because
00:02:30.140 you can't tell
00:02:31.460 if the things you're doing
00:02:32.460 are changing
00:02:33.760 the outcome you want
00:02:34.840 if you're not measuring anything.
00:02:36.220 You're just wildly
00:02:37.160 flailing around
00:02:38.080 and hoping to get lucky.
00:02:41.120 Here's what we should do.
00:02:42.260 I think we should change
00:02:44.680 our metric
00:02:46.200 from equal opportunity
00:02:48.960 because you can never
00:02:50.980 make anything equal.
00:02:52.160 It's sort of an impossible standard.
00:02:54.160 But you could have
00:02:56.080 equivalent strategic options.
00:03:01.500 Strategic meaning
00:03:02.440 if you're black
00:03:04.000 and you're poor
00:03:05.540 and you're in America
00:03:07.360 all you have to do
00:03:09.080 is work hard
00:03:09.740 get good grades
00:03:10.920 stay in a jail
00:03:12.040 and you're going
00:03:13.920 to get a scholarship
00:03:14.620 and you're going
00:03:15.400 to be preferred
00:03:16.280 at most of the biggest
00:03:18.020 best employers
00:03:19.300 in the country.
00:03:20.360 So that's a perfectly
00:03:21.560 good strategy.
00:03:23.660 It's completely available.
00:03:25.120 100% of kids
00:03:26.600 have that available.
00:03:27.920 They don't even have
00:03:28.600 to be in a good school.
00:03:29.820 They just have to
00:03:30.420 stay in a jail
00:03:31.060 and do their homework
00:03:32.740 and they're going
00:03:34.100 to be in good shape.
00:03:34.760 So I think we should
00:03:35.980 change the thing
00:03:38.420 we measure
00:03:38.940 from equal opportunity
00:03:40.300 which made sense
00:03:41.680 when MLK said it
00:03:42.860 to making sure
00:03:45.020 we have equal strategies.
00:03:46.740 Equal strategies.
00:03:47.880 Equivalent strategies.
00:03:48.980 Not equal.
00:03:50.020 Not equal
00:03:50.660 because they wouldn't
00:03:51.340 be the same
00:03:51.880 but equivalent.
00:03:54.080 You could find
00:03:54.800 your path
00:03:55.400 and it would be
00:03:56.160 just as good
00:03:56.780 as anybody else's
00:03:57.680 if you exploited it.
00:03:59.280 Well, I love
00:04:02.660 when things
00:04:03.500 that are serious
00:04:04.200 turn comical
00:04:05.180 on their own.
00:04:08.960 Here's what used
00:04:10.000 to be serious.
00:04:12.120 People complaining
00:04:13.340 that Donald Trump
00:04:14.500 was a criminal
00:04:15.240 and we should not
00:04:17.300 have a criminal
00:04:17.980 in office
00:04:18.920 as a presidency.
00:04:20.440 There was a time
00:04:21.640 when there were
00:04:22.460 all these
00:04:22.920 serious allegations
00:04:24.580 and a citizen
00:04:26.240 quite reasonably
00:04:27.840 would say to themselves,
00:04:28.860 my goodness,
00:04:30.280 with all of that smoke
00:04:31.500 the walls must be
00:04:33.180 closing in.
00:04:34.220 There must be fire.
00:04:36.380 Reasonable.
00:04:37.460 Turns out
00:04:37.980 basically nothing
00:04:39.720 important was true.
00:04:41.360 So, you know,
00:04:42.020 the worst thing
00:04:42.660 what's the worst thing
00:04:43.840 that Trump has done?
00:04:45.800 He claimed
00:04:47.500 the Stormy Daniels payments
00:04:49.260 in some way
00:04:51.440 that people didn't like.
00:04:53.360 That's it, right?
00:04:54.540 Well, Trump University
00:04:55.520 was settled.
00:04:57.620 So, I mean,
00:04:58.640 that was done
00:04:59.480 before the election.
00:05:02.880 So, here's the funny part.
00:05:04.660 Rob Reiner,
00:05:05.800 famous Rob Reiner,
00:05:07.580 actually tweeted this,
00:05:09.240 I think it was yesterday.
00:05:11.480 And here's what's hilarious.
00:05:13.920 I don't think he's joking.
00:05:16.800 But I also don't think
00:05:18.040 he knows it.
00:05:19.500 Like, I don't think
00:05:20.340 he knows how this sounds.
00:05:21.740 I'm just going to read
00:05:22.500 the tweet
00:05:22.980 and I don't have to add
00:05:25.120 any kind of joke to it.
00:05:26.860 It's just the context.
00:05:29.200 All right?
00:05:29.480 Here's just what he said.
00:05:32.080 Rob Reiner's tweet.
00:05:33.760 The difference between
00:05:34.800 Joe Biden
00:05:35.540 and Donald Trump
00:05:36.540 is
00:05:36.920 Joe Biden is a decent,
00:05:39.040 law-abiding person
00:05:39.940 and Donald Trump
00:05:41.280 is a pathological,
00:05:42.680 lying criminal.
00:05:43.300 What?
00:05:48.180 Does he not have
00:05:49.840 access to news?
00:05:53.080 Even CNN
00:05:54.060 has turned on
00:05:54.960 Biden.
00:05:57.260 If there's one thing
00:05:58.960 that the news
00:06:00.340 is very clear at
00:06:01.420 at the moment,
00:06:02.900 is that there's
00:06:03.500 nothing illegal
00:06:04.300 that Trump is accused
00:06:05.360 of at the moment,
00:06:06.160 is there?
00:06:07.180 Is Trump even accused
00:06:08.500 of anything illegal?
00:06:09.220 I thought every single
00:06:11.580 thing has been cleared
00:06:12.420 at this point.
00:06:13.240 Am I wrong?
00:06:14.540 Is there anything left
00:06:15.740 that Trump is even
00:06:17.160 accused of?
00:06:19.660 I don't think so.
00:06:21.160 Oh, there's one
00:06:22.600 sexual claim
00:06:24.240 from long ago,
00:06:25.660 right?
00:06:27.080 Yeah.
00:06:27.980 Oh, he had some
00:06:28.740 documents, right?
00:06:29.700 Yeah, like Biden did.
00:06:32.600 But
00:06:33.080 what could you say
00:06:35.080 about that opinion?
00:06:36.380 Do you think
00:06:37.020 that's his actual opinion?
00:06:39.220 And how do you
00:06:41.160 explain it?
00:06:42.460 Like, who would
00:06:43.420 publicly say,
00:06:45.020 after all the news
00:06:46.060 about the Bidens,
00:06:47.280 who would publicly say,
00:06:48.540 well, at least he's
00:06:49.180 not a criminal?
00:06:51.980 I don't know.
00:06:52.800 It just stands as
00:06:53.600 a joke just by itself.
00:06:55.880 It was such a joke
00:06:57.080 that it became like,
00:06:58.580 you know,
00:06:58.860 it's actually trending
00:06:59.960 right now.
00:07:01.060 So the phrase
00:07:02.200 meathead,
00:07:03.000 you know,
00:07:03.260 from his TV show,
00:07:04.580 is still trending
00:07:05.600 because it was
00:07:06.240 so ridiculous.
00:07:07.680 And I don't know
00:07:08.360 that he even knew it.
00:07:10.180 Like, I don't think
00:07:10.960 he knows why
00:07:11.640 that's ridiculous.
00:07:13.800 But how many times
00:07:14.900 have you seen
00:07:15.380 this happen?
00:07:17.160 It's backwards 0.90
00:07:17.840 reasoning.
00:07:19.000 Well, assume
00:07:20.060 that everything
00:07:20.620 Trump does
00:07:21.520 is for his own good
00:07:22.600 and, you know,
00:07:23.620 it's some kind
00:07:24.160 of a scheme.
00:07:25.320 And then you
00:07:25.900 reason backwards
00:07:26.680 to why he must
00:07:27.580 be thinking.
00:07:29.340 That's what he's
00:07:29.940 doing with Biden.
00:07:31.120 Assume he's a good
00:07:32.100 and virtuous person.
00:07:33.800 And let's reason
00:07:34.600 backwards to the fact
00:07:35.600 he couldn't have
00:07:36.160 committed any crimes.
00:07:38.520 Logically,
00:07:39.100 how can a good
00:07:39.700 and decent person
00:07:41.260 commit any crimes?
00:07:42.880 Therefore,
00:07:43.340 he's innocent.
00:07:44.700 Backwards reasoning.
00:07:45.860 Artists.
00:07:46.660 Yeah,
00:07:46.980 artists.
00:07:50.080 Here's my favorite
00:07:51.040 headline of the day.
00:07:52.420 So this is a headline
00:07:53.460 from CNN.
00:07:55.340 Now,
00:07:56.200 if there's anything
00:07:57.500 I've taught you,
00:07:58.220 it's this.
00:07:59.500 You know the headlines
00:08:00.520 don't match the stories
00:08:01.680 often, right?
00:08:04.540 It's not an occasional
00:08:06.060 thing.
00:08:07.040 It's very,
00:08:07.920 very common.
00:08:08.580 Maybe,
00:08:09.480 I don't know,
00:08:09.880 maybe a third of the time.
00:08:11.580 Probably a third.
00:08:13.060 The headline and the story
00:08:14.120 don't even match.
00:08:15.560 You know,
00:08:15.760 because the headline
00:08:16.160 is more sensational
00:08:17.080 than the story.
00:08:18.620 So here's one where
00:08:19.860 I don't want to read
00:08:21.460 the story
00:08:22.040 because I don't want
00:08:23.580 to find out
00:08:24.100 that the headline
00:08:24.680 is wrong.
00:08:26.180 Can we all agree
00:08:26.980 on that?
00:08:28.660 I'm going to give you
00:08:29.440 the headline
00:08:29.980 just as it appears
00:08:30.880 on CNN today
00:08:31.800 on their website.
00:08:32.480 Don't read the story.
00:08:35.160 Don't.
00:08:35.960 And if you do,
00:08:37.320 please don't tell me
00:08:38.660 it's not true.
00:08:40.600 I need to know
00:08:41.720 this is true.
00:08:43.000 Here's the headline.
00:08:44.600 Study shows
00:08:45.420 how Monty Python's
00:08:46.920 silly walking
00:08:48.020 could be healthy.
00:08:49.580 Stop.
00:08:50.360 Stop, everybody.
00:08:51.360 Don't look into it.
00:08:52.840 Don't look into it.
00:08:54.540 We need this
00:08:55.360 to be true.
00:08:57.740 Agreed?
00:08:58.840 Everybody on board?
00:09:00.020 within our own
00:09:02.260 little viewing community?
00:09:03.900 Don't let anybody
00:09:05.060 tell you
00:09:05.560 what the actual story
00:09:06.620 says.
00:09:07.020 I don't want to know.
00:09:08.420 I don't want to know.
00:09:09.820 No, I need
00:09:10.680 to live in a world
00:09:11.940 in which
00:09:12.700 Monty Python's
00:09:13.820 silly walking
00:09:14.440 is the healthiest
00:09:15.540 thing I can do.
00:09:17.120 Please be true.
00:09:18.120 Please.
00:09:19.500 Just let it go.
00:09:20.980 Let it go.
00:09:23.760 Well,
00:09:24.300 speaking of headlines
00:09:25.200 that might be true,
00:09:27.600 but they might
00:09:29.060 be propaganda.
00:09:31.620 Would you believe
00:09:32.800 this headline
00:09:33.500 coming from
00:09:34.200 an entity
00:09:34.740 largely funded
00:09:35.860 by a pharmaceutical
00:09:36.820 company?
00:09:38.440 Here's the headline
00:09:39.520 from today.
00:09:41.140 Long COVID
00:09:41.780 can be debilitating
00:09:43.340 even for healthy
00:09:44.460 kids.
00:09:51.300 Maybe.
00:09:53.140 Maybe.
00:09:53.700 Yeah,
00:09:55.820 I'm not saying
00:09:57.520 it's not true.
00:09:58.980 So let me be clear.
00:10:00.300 I'm not giving you
00:10:01.180 any kind of
00:10:01.580 medical advice.
00:10:02.500 I don't know
00:10:02.940 what's true.
00:10:04.080 But isn't it
00:10:04.900 a little bit
00:10:05.500 on the nose
00:10:06.260 that the
00:10:08.560 entity
00:10:09.360 funded by
00:10:10.320 Big Pharma
00:10:10.900 really thinks
00:10:13.140 that the risk
00:10:13.680 is more than
00:10:14.340 you do,
00:10:15.380 a little bit
00:10:15.760 more of the risk
00:10:16.280 than you think
00:10:16.800 there is.
00:10:18.140 But it might
00:10:18.760 be true.
00:10:19.860 So what do
00:10:20.280 you do?
00:10:21.280 What do you do?
00:10:22.080 It might be true.
00:10:22.720 I don't know.
00:10:25.400 It's just a little
00:10:26.220 too convenient,
00:10:27.300 isn't it?
00:10:28.460 A little too
00:10:29.120 convenient.
00:10:30.940 All right.
00:10:33.040 Here's another
00:10:33.960 headline that
00:10:34.680 doesn't match
00:10:35.360 the story
00:10:37.200 from today.
00:10:38.720 This is on
00:10:39.180 Fox News website.
00:10:40.760 So here's the
00:10:41.240 headline.
00:10:42.280 White House
00:10:42.700 Counsel's Office
00:10:43.540 drops bombshell
00:10:44.760 following demands
00:10:46.180 of visitor logs
00:10:47.280 for Biden's
00:10:48.020 Delaware home.
00:10:49.220 Are you kidding
00:10:49.980 me?
00:10:50.280 Are you telling
00:10:51.600 me
00:10:51.960 that the
00:10:53.180 Biden's
00:10:53.820 personal
00:10:54.320 residents,
00:10:55.660 they don't
00:10:56.460 have their
00:10:56.860 visitor logs
00:10:57.960 so that we
00:10:58.900 know who
00:10:59.420 might have
00:10:59.860 been around
00:11:00.240 that classified
00:11:00.980 information in
00:11:01.780 the garage?
00:11:02.420 Are you
00:11:02.960 kidding me?
00:11:03.960 My God,
00:11:04.520 this headline
00:11:05.420 has me all
00:11:06.140 outraged.
00:11:06.960 I'm outraged,
00:11:07.860 people,
00:11:08.220 outraged,
00:11:09.220 because of
00:11:09.780 the bombshell.
00:11:11.480 And then I
00:11:11.940 read the article.
00:11:13.840 Yeah,
00:11:14.360 we don't keep
00:11:15.060 visitor logs for
00:11:16.120 personal residences.
00:11:17.520 We've never
00:11:18.120 done that.
00:11:18.580 It's not
00:11:21.640 exactly the
00:11:22.500 bombshell I
00:11:23.560 was hoping
00:11:23.980 for.
00:11:25.360 A bombshell
00:11:26.340 would be,
00:11:27.280 oh yeah,
00:11:27.800 it's a federal
00:11:28.460 law,
00:11:28.900 you better
00:11:29.200 keep those
00:11:29.780 visitor logs
00:11:30.480 if you're the
00:11:30.960 president,
00:11:31.440 even if it's
00:11:32.100 your private
00:11:32.520 home.
00:11:33.800 But there's
00:11:34.640 no law like
00:11:35.360 that.
00:11:36.220 Never has
00:11:36.940 been.
00:11:37.720 And nobody
00:11:38.220 would think
00:11:38.640 it's a good
00:11:39.060 law.
00:11:40.480 It's a
00:11:41.080 bombshell.
00:11:42.160 It's a
00:11:42.660 bombshell that
00:11:43.460 the Biden's
00:11:45.060 acted like
00:11:45.660 everybody else
00:11:46.260 does all the
00:11:46.760 time for
00:11:47.140 good reasons.
00:11:48.500 Bombshell.
00:11:50.560 Literally,
00:11:51.380 there was no
00:11:52.140 reason to
00:11:52.640 expect it
00:11:53.240 existed.
00:11:54.720 None.
00:11:55.840 And if it
00:11:56.760 had been a
00:11:57.200 bombshell,
00:11:58.920 do you
00:11:59.560 remember when
00:12:00.200 the White
00:12:01.320 House
00:12:01.620 visitor logs
00:12:02.940 disappeared under
00:12:04.460 the Trump
00:12:04.840 administration?
00:12:06.500 You know
00:12:06.860 that happened,
00:12:07.420 right?
00:12:08.920 The White 0.84
00:12:09.680 House got
00:12:10.200 rid of their
00:12:10.620 own visitor
00:12:11.220 logs.
00:12:12.040 So would
00:12:12.560 it be a
00:12:13.080 bombshell that
00:12:14.320 a private
00:12:14.780 residence doesn't
00:12:15.700 have a visitor
00:12:16.320 log?
00:12:17.440 The White 0.84
00:12:18.060 House didn't
00:12:18.560 have one.
00:12:19.480 Didn't have
00:12:19.980 one under
00:12:20.660 Trump.
00:12:21.660 It was there
00:12:22.100 for a while
00:12:22.480 and they
00:12:22.760 got rid of
00:12:23.320 it.
00:12:24.940 There's your
00:12:25.560 bombshell.
00:12:27.060 All right,
00:12:27.380 here's another
00:12:27.780 weird little
00:12:28.300 story.
00:12:29.940 On UC
00:12:30.780 Berkeley
00:12:31.200 campus,
00:12:32.360 they found
00:12:33.720 a skeletal
00:12:34.640 remains.
00:12:37.100 Aren't you
00:12:37.740 curious where
00:12:38.380 it was?
00:12:40.300 How could
00:12:41.000 you have a
00:12:41.380 dead person
00:12:41.940 on the
00:12:42.640 UC Berkeley
00:12:43.540 campus
00:12:44.160 that's
00:12:45.340 there so
00:12:47.420 long that
00:12:48.720 nobody
00:12:49.100 notices until
00:12:50.100 it's
00:12:50.300 completely
00:12:50.840 turned into
00:12:52.340 just a
00:12:52.800 skeleton?
00:12:54.900 Well,
00:12:55.160 apparently there
00:12:55.640 was some
00:12:55.960 room that
00:12:56.580 they don't
00:12:56.940 go in a
00:12:57.380 lot and
00:12:59.140 the room
00:12:59.520 has had a
00:12:59.940 dead guy
00:13:00.340 in it for
00:13:00.720 I don't
00:13:01.460 know how
00:13:01.740 long.
00:13:02.680 There's been
00:13:03.000 some dead
00:13:03.880 person, I
00:13:04.960 don't know,
00:13:05.220 I don't know if
00:13:05.580 it's a guy.
00:13:06.500 Some dead
00:13:06.980 person's been
00:13:07.600 in there for
00:13:08.260 apparently a
00:13:08.940 long, long
00:13:09.540 time.
00:13:11.640 So, here's
00:13:13.920 a little
00:13:14.280 advice if
00:13:16.560 you plan to
00:13:17.020 be a serial
00:13:17.580 killer.
00:13:19.520 A good
00:13:20.200 place to
00:13:20.700 leave your
00:13:21.240 corpses is
00:13:23.760 in a room
00:13:24.800 on the
00:13:25.120 UC Berkeley
00:13:25.880 campus.
00:13:26.560 Apparently
00:13:26.820 that's just
00:13:27.900 a good place
00:13:28.420 to put them.
00:13:29.620 A lot of
00:13:30.080 people would
00:13:30.440 try to bury
00:13:30.920 them or
00:13:31.580 make them
00:13:32.840 dissolve and
00:13:33.640 lie and
00:13:34.960 acid and
00:13:35.420 stuff, but
00:13:35.820 no.
00:13:36.280 You just
00:13:36.580 want to
00:13:36.800 put them
00:13:37.040 in a
00:13:37.260 campus, put
00:13:40.060 a hat on
00:13:40.580 it, nobody
00:13:41.180 will ask
00:13:41.480 any questions.
00:13:43.560 Here's a
00:13:44.260 fascinating news
00:13:45.420 that I would
00:13:46.240 like to
00:13:47.260 pretend is
00:13:47.820 true.
00:13:49.260 Now, whenever
00:13:50.080 I tell you
00:13:50.600 that in the
00:13:51.300 news there's
00:13:51.860 a medical
00:13:52.340 breakthrough,
00:13:54.280 what should
00:13:55.120 your brain
00:13:55.620 do as soon
00:13:56.440 as there's
00:13:57.040 a medical
00:13:57.520 breakthrough, a
00:13:58.600 new trial?
00:14:00.400 Probably not.
00:14:02.040 Probably not.
00:14:02.960 You'll probably
00:14:03.240 never see it,
00:14:04.300 but maybe.
00:14:05.740 You know,
00:14:06.080 sometimes it
00:14:06.660 makes you feel
00:14:07.140 good to think
00:14:07.700 there's good
00:14:08.500 stuff coming.
00:14:09.800 I think the
00:14:10.440 real situation
00:14:11.080 is good
00:14:12.400 stuff does
00:14:13.040 come, and
00:14:14.680 there are also
00:14:15.140 stories about
00:14:15.880 good stuff
00:14:16.420 coming, but
00:14:17.640 I feel like
00:14:18.060 the good
00:14:18.420 stuff that
00:14:18.840 actually arrives
00:14:19.640 was never in
00:14:20.520 the stories of
00:14:21.220 the things
00:14:21.540 coming.
00:14:23.080 Is that my
00:14:23.780 imagination?
00:14:25.000 Like, whenever
00:14:25.520 they do the
00:14:26.040 story of this
00:14:26.460 amazing thing,
00:14:27.660 you never really
00:14:28.500 see it.
00:14:29.780 Like, you wait
00:14:30.480 ten years and
00:14:31.200 you think, you
00:14:31.520 know, I think
00:14:32.640 I'd see that by
00:14:33.320 now.
00:14:34.120 But then there's
00:14:34.760 the thing that
00:14:35.180 nobody ever talked
00:14:35.880 about that suddenly
00:14:36.640 an approved
00:14:37.780 drug, and it's
00:14:38.380 a miracle thing.
00:14:40.380 So here's
00:14:41.200 CNN reported
00:14:42.540 they've figured
00:14:43.880 out how to
00:14:44.520 focus sound
00:14:46.420 for brain
00:14:48.120 surgery.
00:14:49.440 And apparently
00:14:49.860 it's been used
00:14:50.480 successfully, at
00:14:51.380 least in a trial,
00:14:52.120 in a human.
00:14:53.100 And what they do
00:14:53.700 is they figure out
00:14:54.960 how to get the
00:14:55.720 sound waves to
00:14:57.560 kind of reach
00:14:58.160 exactly the point
00:14:59.100 of the brain,
00:14:59.840 you know, the
00:15:00.180 depth that it can
00:15:01.840 disturb a very
00:15:03.020 specific part of
00:15:03.880 the brain.
00:15:05.020 And they used
00:15:05.880 it to disturb
00:15:06.920 a part of the
00:15:07.420 brain that was
00:15:08.500 giving people
00:15:09.060 tremors.
00:15:09.820 You know, they
00:15:10.040 were shaking.
00:15:11.800 And they
00:15:12.120 actually took
00:15:12.580 somebody's
00:15:12.940 tremors away.
00:15:16.180 Amazing.
00:15:17.620 Imagine being
00:15:18.260 able to take
00:15:18.740 somebody's
00:15:19.160 tremors away.
00:15:20.440 Like, that's
00:15:20.880 a big problem.
00:15:24.040 I don't know,
00:15:24.840 I'm not sure if
00:15:25.600 Parkinson's is
00:15:27.140 necessarily one
00:15:28.620 of the things
00:15:29.020 they could target.
00:15:30.160 So this was a
00:15:31.600 different kind of
00:15:32.540 tremors, I
00:15:33.280 think, not
00:15:33.800 non-Parkinson's.
00:15:36.180 But somebody's
00:15:37.440 calling me a
00:15:37.940 sophist.
00:15:42.000 The weakest,
00:15:43.220 the weakest
00:15:44.280 criticism of
00:15:45.740 all time.
00:15:46.880 Can we have a
00:15:47.660 moment to
00:15:48.260 celebrate the
00:15:49.440 worst trolling
00:15:50.420 you've ever seen
00:15:51.100 in your life?
00:15:52.060 I'm literally
00:15:52.520 talking about a
00:15:53.980 reported medical
00:15:54.920 breakthrough.
00:15:56.100 There's a
00:15:56.520 troll.
00:15:57.960 There's a troll
00:15:58.840 calling me a
00:15:59.460 sophist.
00:16:00.160 All right.
00:16:08.480 You may have
00:16:09.340 noticed on
00:16:10.060 Twitter that
00:16:11.260 Elon Musk
00:16:12.420 tweeted that
00:16:13.840 the S in
00:16:14.680 the ESG
00:16:15.300 stands for
00:16:15.940 satanic.
00:16:19.720 One of the
00:16:20.580 odds that the
00:16:21.180 best Twitter
00:16:21.740 troll is also
00:16:23.200 the owner of
00:16:23.880 Twitter.
00:16:25.400 That could 0.68
00:16:26.020 not be more
00:16:26.620 perfect.
00:16:28.660 And even the
00:16:29.360 fact that he
00:16:29.760 calls it a
00:16:30.140 satanic because
00:16:31.300 he knows
00:16:31.680 people are
00:16:32.160 going to
00:16:32.320 take that
00:16:32.720 literally.
00:16:33.640 Like he
00:16:34.080 knows some
00:16:34.660 people.
00:16:35.500 I guess
00:16:35.860 yeah, probably
00:16:36.700 literally.
00:16:37.740 Satan's all
00:16:38.380 over this
00:16:38.780 thing.
00:16:40.560 Well, so we
00:16:41.940 know what
00:16:42.200 Elon Musk
00:16:42.700 thinks of
00:16:43.180 ESG and the
00:16:44.280 biggest promoter
00:16:45.080 of it is the
00:16:45.940 WEF.
00:16:47.740 Now, I do
00:16:49.220 believe that I
00:16:50.340 accomplished one
00:16:51.140 task, or at
00:16:51.880 least I was
00:16:52.300 one small
00:16:52.900 small part of
00:16:53.740 it, that
00:16:54.880 ESG is
00:16:57.120 widely
00:16:57.860 reviled by
00:17:00.140 everybody who's
00:17:00.940 not directly
00:17:01.520 benefiting from
00:17:02.340 it, right?
00:17:03.880 Wouldn't you
00:17:04.280 say?
00:17:05.040 I mean, it's
00:17:05.420 very unpopular.
00:17:06.760 Everybody knows
00:17:07.400 it's garbage.
00:17:08.680 And it's, you
00:17:09.400 know, somebody's
00:17:10.660 pushing an agenda
00:17:11.480 and it's not
00:17:12.200 necessarily for
00:17:12.780 your benefit.
00:17:13.220 So the first
00:17:16.960 thing I'd say
00:17:17.460 about ESG is
00:17:19.860 if it's true
00:17:20.580 that the S 0.96
00:17:21.100 stands for
00:17:21.600 satanic, it's
00:17:22.820 not true, but
00:17:23.520 let's say it
00:17:23.960 is, then
00:17:25.360 wouldn't the
00:17:26.280 S be handled
00:17:27.420 by the G?
00:17:30.860 Anybody?
00:17:31.780 Anybody?
00:17:33.320 If the S
00:17:34.120 stands for
00:17:34.560 satanic,
00:17:35.320 wouldn't the
00:17:35.920 G in the 0.87
00:17:37.380 ESG take
00:17:37.960 care of it?
00:17:38.860 Huh?
00:17:39.240 Huh?
00:17:40.300 All right.
00:17:41.100 You have to
00:17:41.800 complete the joke
00:17:42.440 in your mind.
00:17:43.740 Well, I saw
00:17:45.300 a long Twitter
00:17:46.620 thread about
00:17:47.920 the WEF from
00:17:49.280 Michael Schellenberger
00:17:50.280 who, as you
00:17:51.780 know, has
00:17:52.480 high credibility
00:17:53.380 with me as
00:17:55.900 well as the
00:17:56.240 public.
00:17:57.000 But he's one
00:17:57.420 of the, probably
00:17:58.260 the most, I
00:18:00.160 don't know, it'd
00:18:00.540 be hard to say
00:18:01.060 who's the most
00:18:01.720 productive
00:18:02.340 journalist in
00:18:05.220 the country right
00:18:05.920 now, but I
00:18:06.380 think it's him.
00:18:07.940 I think
00:18:08.460 Schellenberger is
00:18:09.200 the most
00:18:09.640 productive writer,
00:18:11.180 journalist,
00:18:12.340 researcher,
00:18:12.780 I'm not sure
00:18:13.480 what he would
00:18:13.880 label himself.
00:18:15.240 I would say
00:18:15.620 the most
00:18:15.940 productive in
00:18:16.560 the country
00:18:17.260 for the
00:18:18.280 entire year.
00:18:19.420 Most consistently
00:18:20.700 high-level,
00:18:22.980 useful,
00:18:24.620 on-target,
00:18:26.980 unbiased,
00:18:28.440 unbiased,
00:18:29.540 non-political
00:18:30.400 reporting I've
00:18:31.880 seen.
00:18:32.920 Maybe ever.
00:18:34.340 If you look at
00:18:35.060 the total body
00:18:36.260 of work for the
00:18:37.140 past year,
00:18:38.340 I don't know if
00:18:38.940 anybody's ever
00:18:39.460 matched that.
00:18:40.720 It might be
00:18:41.240 unmatchable,
00:18:42.100 like historically
00:18:42.880 it might be
00:18:43.420 unmatchable.
00:18:44.400 Now,
00:18:44.700 Taibbi is doing
00:18:45.360 a great job,
00:18:46.420 and a bunch
00:18:47.240 of other people,
00:18:47.880 Glenn Grinwald,
00:18:48.660 I can name
00:18:49.520 ten other people,
00:18:50.820 Miranda,
00:18:51.460 Devine,
00:18:51.980 Devine,
00:18:53.120 doing great work,
00:18:54.120 but I think
00:18:54.600 Schellenberger's
00:18:56.120 kind of in his
00:18:57.980 own league at
00:18:58.620 this point.
00:19:00.700 But,
00:19:01.240 you know
00:19:04.000 that I have
00:19:05.000 not been on
00:19:05.680 board with
00:19:06.520 those who
00:19:06.980 said,
00:19:07.540 the WEF,
00:19:08.960 the World
00:19:09.380 Economic Forum,
00:19:10.280 which I believe
00:19:10.760 is meeting
00:19:11.240 this week,
00:19:12.320 I think they're
00:19:12.720 meeting,
00:19:13.980 I have not
00:19:15.200 been on board
00:19:15.820 with the notion
00:19:16.480 that there's
00:19:17.020 some evil
00:19:17.780 organization
00:19:19.060 that has
00:19:20.320 intentions to
00:19:21.200 do bad things
00:19:21.840 to you.
00:19:23.100 And you've
00:19:24.280 all been shouting
00:19:24.940 at me and
00:19:25.580 shouting at me,
00:19:26.620 they say they're
00:19:27.240 going to take
00:19:27.620 all your private
00:19:28.300 stuff and
00:19:29.120 they're going to,
00:19:30.080 it's an evil
00:19:30.720 organization and
00:19:31.820 blah, blah, blah,
00:19:32.360 and I wasn't
00:19:32.940 buying any of it.
00:19:34.620 Because the
00:19:35.220 specific allegations
00:19:36.400 just seemed
00:19:37.060 ridiculous to
00:19:38.020 me.
00:19:39.040 Seemed
00:19:39.300 ridiculous.
00:19:41.580 Schellenberger
00:19:41.980 reports in his
00:19:43.460 long thread and
00:19:44.280 also on his
00:19:44.840 sub-stack,
00:19:45.660 which I
00:19:45.960 recommend,
00:19:46.580 I subscribe
00:19:47.180 to it.
00:19:48.060 It's probably
00:19:48.380 the only one
00:19:48.980 I subscribe
00:19:49.400 to.
00:19:50.260 So if you
00:19:50.600 want to,
00:19:51.200 you know,
00:19:51.500 that's a good
00:19:52.100 indication of
00:19:52.780 its value.
00:19:53.340 It's the only
00:19:53.660 one I subscribe
00:19:54.240 to.
00:19:55.420 So here's
00:19:59.480 what he
00:19:59.720 reports.
00:20:01.320 So you've
00:20:02.000 heard the
00:20:02.280 thing about
00:20:02.880 the World
00:20:04.780 Economic Forum
00:20:05.620 quotes that
00:20:06.540 you'll own
00:20:07.020 nothing and
00:20:07.500 be happy and
00:20:08.740 you'll have
00:20:09.080 no privacy.
00:20:10.240 I didn't know
00:20:10.760 that was part
00:20:11.200 of the quote,
00:20:11.740 but it is.
00:20:12.640 Apparently that
00:20:13.240 was one person
00:20:14.500 wrote something
00:20:15.280 once and it
00:20:18.000 got published
00:20:18.500 by the WF.
00:20:19.660 They got a lot
00:20:20.200 of pushback for
00:20:20.980 it, so they
00:20:21.460 just took it
00:20:21.940 out.
00:20:23.200 So I do
00:20:25.400 believe that
00:20:25.960 that part of
00:20:26.700 the story was
00:20:28.480 overblown.
00:20:30.340 Overblown.
00:20:30.820 I think it was
00:20:31.140 one person
00:20:31.680 describing, you
00:20:33.280 know, that if
00:20:33.720 you had Uber in
00:20:34.560 the future, for
00:20:35.540 example, you
00:20:36.760 wouldn't need to
00:20:37.300 own your own
00:20:37.720 car and you'd
00:20:38.280 be happy about
00:20:38.840 it.
00:20:41.020 I think that
00:20:41.760 was just
00:20:42.020 somebody's
00:20:42.400 opinion.
00:20:42.820 It wasn't
00:20:43.100 the WF
00:20:43.900 master plan.
00:20:45.680 All right, so
00:20:46.160 that part should
00:20:47.640 give you some
00:20:48.680 comfort.
00:20:51.500 The Schellenberger 0.87
00:20:52.220 is giving you,
00:20:53.180 you know, accurate
00:20:54.380 sides of the
00:20:55.020 story because he
00:20:56.200 reported that they
00:20:56.920 did say that and
00:20:58.240 they did take it
00:20:58.880 down.
00:20:59.900 So that is on
00:21:00.880 them.
00:21:01.080 So you're
00:21:02.360 definitely correct
00:21:03.260 that they
00:21:04.440 promoted a view
00:21:05.440 that's a little
00:21:06.600 sketchy from your
00:21:07.660 point of view.
00:21:08.460 And then they
00:21:08.820 took it down.
00:21:10.100 But here's the
00:21:10.940 part I was
00:21:11.520 completely unaware
00:21:12.420 of.
00:21:13.860 And this is
00:21:14.680 where I'm now
00:21:15.660 completely on
00:21:16.640 team WF must
00:21:18.220 be destroyed.
00:21:20.380 All right, as
00:21:21.380 of this morning.
00:21:22.120 So I'm totally
00:21:22.960 on board.
00:21:23.540 And here's why.
00:21:25.260 This is also
00:21:26.060 from Schellenberger's
00:21:28.440 reporting.
00:21:31.080 Apparently, the
00:21:34.240 WF's 2022
00:21:36.940 annual report
00:21:38.220 touts a
00:21:39.620 relationship with
00:21:40.700 an unnamed
00:21:41.440 hedge fund
00:21:42.200 and a
00:21:46.080 portfolio of
00:21:46.920 assets that
00:21:47.840 includes Swiss
00:21:48.660 equities, Swiss
00:21:49.640 bonds, global
00:21:51.240 equities, and
00:21:54.860 precious metals
00:21:55.760 that is in part
00:21:56.980 managed by Al
00:21:57.800 Gore's Generation 0.96
00:21:58.680 Investment
00:21:59.280 Management.
00:22:01.080 So what I
00:22:03.620 found out today
00:22:04.500 is that there's
00:22:06.380 a large hedge
00:22:07.100 fund that has
00:22:09.260 some influence
00:22:10.140 over the
00:22:11.520 World Economic
00:22:12.100 Forum and you
00:22:12.720 don't know their
00:22:13.220 name.
00:22:15.400 Non-transparency.
00:22:16.760 I know you're
00:22:17.260 saying BlackRock,
00:22:18.200 but whatever it is,
00:22:19.900 it's non-transparent.
00:22:20.860 And how much
00:22:23.860 assets does the
00:22:26.300 World Economic
00:22:26.960 Forum have?
00:22:29.120 Like, why would
00:22:30.240 they even have a
00:22:30.840 lot of assets
00:22:31.580 other than to
00:22:32.820 put on their
00:22:33.320 events?
00:22:34.340 Where are they
00:22:34.920 getting assets?
00:22:36.400 How do they even
00:22:36.900 make money?
00:22:40.100 Now, here's the
00:22:41.960 even better
00:22:42.380 question.
00:22:43.600 What do we know
00:22:44.300 about Klaus
00:22:45.380 Schwab's personal
00:22:46.660 finances?
00:22:47.200 I assume he
00:22:51.040 has no obligation
00:22:51.900 to give anybody
00:22:52.960 his personal
00:22:53.560 finances.
00:22:55.360 Would you
00:22:56.080 agree?
00:22:57.420 Probably there's
00:22:58.280 no law, and
00:22:59.460 apparently Swiss
00:23:00.240 law protects the
00:23:02.260 organization from
00:23:03.160 having to report
00:23:03.940 anything.
00:23:04.740 So they don't
00:23:05.340 have to report
00:23:05.920 anything.
00:23:08.220 Now, so
00:23:09.500 there's an
00:23:09.940 individual who
00:23:11.860 is organizing all
00:23:12.820 the rich people and
00:23:13.620 trying to influence
00:23:14.500 them in a certain
00:23:15.880 set of directions,
00:23:17.360 and we don't know
00:23:18.420 anything about how
00:23:19.760 the person who's in
00:23:20.740 charge makes money,
00:23:23.000 because it's not
00:23:25.520 necessary to
00:23:26.300 disclose it.
00:23:30.540 That's all you
00:23:31.240 need to know.
00:23:33.660 That's all it took
00:23:34.500 to get me in.
00:23:35.500 You know, the
00:23:36.160 claims against them,
00:23:37.160 I think, are a
00:23:37.680 little sketchy,
00:23:39.560 but if you tell me
00:23:40.880 they're trying to
00:23:41.440 influence our
00:23:43.320 governments and
00:23:44.360 we don't know who's
00:23:45.080 paying them, that
00:23:46.760 is the end of the
00:23:47.680 story.
00:23:49.500 I am so down to
00:23:51.840 completely destroy
00:23:52.860 this organization
00:23:53.780 any way we can,
00:23:55.640 unless they want to
00:23:56.360 be transparent.
00:23:57.580 If they decided to
00:23:58.660 be transparent, well,
00:24:00.500 then we can take a
00:24:01.180 look and decide if
00:24:02.700 we like it or not.
00:24:04.280 But have I told you,
00:24:05.680 if there's anything
00:24:06.280 I've told you
00:24:07.060 consistently, if it's
00:24:09.820 a large organization
00:24:10.920 and they're not
00:24:13.020 transparent, guilt 0.91
00:24:15.780 is the assumption.
00:24:18.780 Assumption of guilt,
00:24:19.840 because they're an
00:24:20.360 organization.
00:24:21.660 If it's an 0.57
00:24:22.400 individual, the
00:24:24.840 assumption is
00:24:25.380 innocence.
00:24:26.340 So Klaus Schwab
00:24:27.360 himself, I would
00:24:29.820 assume no crimes have
00:24:31.020 been committed,
00:24:32.260 because he's an
00:24:33.100 individual, right?
00:24:34.120 He's a human
00:24:35.460 being, assumption
00:24:37.120 of innocence, no
00:24:38.220 matter how suspicious
00:24:40.400 you are, assumption
00:24:42.140 of innocence.
00:24:43.060 But what about his
00:24:43.740 organization?
00:24:45.540 Assumption of guilt.
00:24:47.260 You can separate
00:24:48.140 those.
00:24:49.360 The organization is
00:24:50.480 presumed guilty in
00:24:51.720 every way, because
00:24:52.660 they're not
00:24:52.940 transparent about
00:24:53.780 where their
00:24:54.760 financial ties are.
00:24:55.840 And I would say
00:24:57.180 that Klaus Schwab's
00:24:58.940 financial situation,
00:25:02.040 being not
00:25:02.780 transparent, I
00:25:03.740 assume, by the
00:25:04.440 way, fact check me
00:25:05.500 on that.
00:25:06.220 I'd be very surprised
00:25:07.100 if he's transparent
00:25:07.980 about his finances.
00:25:09.520 But as long as
00:25:11.740 he's not transparent,
00:25:13.300 and as long as he's
00:25:14.120 the leader of the
00:25:15.020 entity, he may not
00:25:16.940 have broken any
00:25:17.600 laws at all.
00:25:18.460 I have no reason
00:25:19.080 to think he has.
00:25:20.700 But he's part of an
00:25:21.720 entity that you have
00:25:23.080 to assume guilt for
00:25:24.040 lack of transparency.
00:25:25.840 Right?
00:25:29.020 Yeah.
00:25:29.940 So, yeah, I'm
00:25:31.180 talking about the
00:25:31.880 assumption of guilt,
00:25:32.780 not actual guilt.
00:25:34.440 Actual guilt is a
00:25:35.560 separate question from
00:25:36.400 the assumption of
00:25:37.060 guilt.
00:25:38.560 So, I think that's
00:25:41.640 how you go after
00:25:42.440 them.
00:25:43.320 And I think that you
00:25:44.280 force them to live
00:25:46.320 by their own
00:25:46.880 standards.
00:25:48.180 Question number
00:25:48.780 one, how many
00:25:50.240 LGBTQ members of
00:25:52.160 the WEF are there?
00:25:55.100 Huh?
00:25:56.360 None?
00:25:57.740 None?
00:25:59.060 Do they have a good
00:25:59.780 balance of women and 1.00
00:26:00.780 men?
00:26:02.400 Hmm.
00:26:03.240 Hmm.
00:26:04.340 I feel like maybe
00:26:05.440 not.
00:26:06.660 Just guessing.
00:26:08.100 Do they have a lot
00:26:09.480 of good diversity
00:26:10.540 there?
00:26:11.220 A lot of good
00:26:11.680 diversity?
00:26:13.020 Hmm.
00:26:14.220 Hmm.
00:26:15.020 Doesn't look like it.
00:26:16.660 No.
00:26:17.040 Do you think that
00:26:19.160 corporations are
00:26:23.140 being asked to be
00:26:24.180 transparent about
00:26:25.240 their ESG?
00:26:28.020 That's right.
00:26:29.780 Yeah.
00:26:30.220 The WEF is
00:26:32.540 asking corporations
00:26:33.600 to be transparent
00:26:34.640 about what they're
00:26:36.500 doing.
00:26:37.380 It's a non-transparent
00:26:39.060 organization asking
00:26:40.400 others to be
00:26:41.380 transparent.
00:26:42.880 No.
00:26:44.440 No.
00:26:46.120 And no.
00:26:48.120 That's a hard
00:26:49.660 no.
00:26:51.120 If they were a 0.52
00:26:52.180 transparent organization
00:26:53.640 saying, look at us.
00:26:55.800 Look how transparent
00:26:56.740 we are.
00:26:57.860 And now, also, you
00:26:59.360 know, we'd like you to
00:27:00.060 be transparent, too.
00:27:01.620 Well, that would be an
00:27:02.840 argument I'd listen to.
00:27:04.880 But no.
00:27:06.000 A non-transparent 0.99
00:27:07.200 organization cannot
00:27:08.920 ask anybody to be
00:27:11.240 transparent.
00:27:12.420 You know why?
00:27:14.540 Transparency gives 0.98
00:27:15.340 away your power.
00:27:17.960 You don't want the
00:27:19.140 non-transparent
00:27:20.100 entity to keep their
00:27:21.600 power by lack of
00:27:22.960 transparency while
00:27:24.440 making you give up
00:27:25.480 your power by being
00:27:26.900 transparent.
00:27:29.020 No.
00:27:31.040 No.
00:27:31.560 Let me give you a
00:27:34.560 related story, and
00:27:36.800 then I'm going to
00:27:37.360 tie it back in.
00:27:39.420 This will seem
00:27:40.180 totally unrelated, and
00:27:41.520 then I'm going to
00:27:42.480 find a way to tie
00:27:43.420 these back together,
00:27:44.200 right?
00:27:45.100 Do you all know
00:27:45.880 Seth Abramson?
00:27:48.480 Prominent Democrat
00:27:49.640 and attorney type.
00:27:52.020 And so often he
00:27:52.860 weighs in on the
00:27:54.160 political stuff that
00:27:55.440 has any kind of
00:27:56.160 legal, you know,
00:27:57.700 ramifications.
00:27:58.280 and he's a
00:28:01.520 little bit upset
00:28:03.020 at Matt Taibbi
00:28:04.000 for reporting that
00:28:06.220 the stories about
00:28:07.320 Russian bots were
00:28:09.040 oversold to the
00:28:10.560 public.
00:28:12.100 And Seth Abramson
00:28:12.940 is arguing,
00:28:14.180 no, no.
00:28:15.080 We always knew,
00:28:16.140 even back in 2018,
00:28:17.800 Politico reported
00:28:18.700 that it probably
00:28:20.620 wasn't Russian
00:28:22.440 bots that were
00:28:24.360 influencing the,
00:28:25.860 specifically the
00:28:26.780 question was the
00:28:27.760 hashtag,
00:28:30.120 release the memo.
00:28:31.880 So there was a
00:28:32.700 question of a
00:28:33.340 Devin Nunes memo
00:28:34.500 that was classified,
00:28:36.380 and people were
00:28:36.880 asking Trump to
00:28:37.860 release it.
00:28:39.480 And then it did
00:28:40.080 get released.
00:28:41.380 But apparently
00:28:41.920 there was a lot of
00:28:42.560 social media action
00:28:43.680 behind the release.
00:28:45.120 And there was a
00:28:45.800 claim that the
00:28:46.420 Russian bots were
00:28:48.220 behind causing it
00:28:49.260 to be released.
00:28:50.520 The counterclaim is
00:28:51.900 that apparently
00:28:52.380 Twitter looked at it
00:28:53.300 and it looked like
00:28:53.900 it was more organic.
00:28:55.560 It was actually a
00:28:56.260 domestic.
00:28:57.160 It was just sort
00:28:57.960 of a natural
00:28:58.420 right-leaning
00:28:59.100 amplification.
00:29:02.180 But probably there
00:29:03.080 were some Russian
00:29:03.560 bots in there,
00:29:05.220 but it wasn't
00:29:06.260 necessarily the
00:29:06.800 whole story.
00:29:08.980 So Abramson makes
00:29:10.600 a correct and
00:29:12.760 accurate statement
00:29:13.600 that there were
00:29:15.920 probably domestic
00:29:16.920 bots.
00:29:18.300 And even at the
00:29:19.320 time, it wasn't
00:29:20.300 as big a story as
00:29:21.420 maybe we remember
00:29:22.280 it.
00:29:22.540 the bots were
00:29:23.680 sort of, you
00:29:25.100 know, considered
00:29:25.700 some mix of
00:29:26.860 domestic and
00:29:27.700 other.
00:29:28.780 But here's what
00:29:29.820 the claim made
00:29:31.060 in Politico back
00:29:32.080 in 2018 by
00:29:33.360 Molly McHugh,
00:29:35.080 an expert on
00:29:35.980 information warfare.
00:29:38.400 And so she
00:29:41.420 writes this article
00:29:42.180 and she talks
00:29:43.420 about the Russian
00:29:43.960 trolls promoting
00:29:44.840 this release the
00:29:45.720 memo hashtag.
00:29:46.360 And then she
00:29:48.260 concludes that it
00:29:49.440 worked.
00:29:51.360 She concludes
00:29:52.420 that it worked.
00:29:54.680 And she said,
00:29:55.720 by the time the
00:29:56.360 memo got to the
00:29:57.220 president, in other
00:29:58.040 words, Devin
00:29:58.680 Nunes' classified
00:29:59.800 memo, its release
00:30:01.460 was a foregone
00:30:02.280 conclusion even
00:30:03.780 before Trump had
00:30:04.680 read it.
00:30:06.500 And she says,
00:30:07.540 that's a true
00:30:08.560 fact based on the
00:30:10.640 fact that the
00:30:11.400 viral activity was
00:30:13.740 so strong that
00:30:15.180 Trump would
00:30:15.660 basically be
00:30:16.780 influenced into
00:30:17.520 releasing it and
00:30:18.880 that he would not
00:30:19.580 have been had
00:30:20.740 there not been a
00:30:21.480 social media push
00:30:22.940 and had it not
00:30:24.280 been bot related.
00:30:26.700 Do you believe
00:30:27.500 any of that?
00:30:29.220 That's the most
00:30:30.060 bullshit claim I've
00:30:32.200 ever heard in my
00:30:32.660 life.
00:30:33.260 There's no even
00:30:34.200 explanation of how
00:30:35.940 you would know it
00:30:36.640 influenced anything.
00:30:38.800 What's the
00:30:39.460 mechanism?
00:30:40.700 What assumption
00:30:41.440 would you make?
00:30:42.100 Why would you
00:30:43.300 assume that Trump
00:30:44.040 would not have
00:30:44.660 released it?
00:30:45.740 Since it was in
00:30:46.480 his best interest to
00:30:47.520 release it, why
00:30:48.940 would you assume
00:30:49.420 anybody had any
00:30:50.400 influence on him?
00:30:51.820 This is the worst
00:30:52.780 reporting I've ever
00:30:53.680 seen.
00:30:54.480 To just say it's
00:30:55.440 true, with no
00:30:57.180 explanation of how
00:30:58.060 you connect the
00:30:58.740 dots, oh, it's
00:30:59.680 true.
00:31:01.520 And how do you
00:31:03.580 know that?
00:31:04.940 That's just true.
00:31:08.240 Bizarre.
00:31:08.760 But imagine if it
00:31:12.020 is true.
00:31:14.540 If it is true, that
00:31:15.680 means that TikTok
00:31:16.400 already runs our
00:31:17.420 country.
00:31:20.480 Now, I've been
00:31:21.160 telling you that
00:31:21.660 forever, that the
00:31:23.320 social media can
00:31:24.220 change the
00:31:24.720 algorithms.
00:31:25.820 Now, did it
00:31:26.340 happen in this
00:31:26.980 case?
00:31:27.600 I think this is
00:31:28.500 the worst example
00:31:29.860 of something that
00:31:32.800 might have been
00:31:33.300 from outside
00:31:34.100 influence, because
00:31:35.220 it looks exactly
00:31:36.080 like something that
00:31:37.580 was going to
00:31:37.900 happen on its own.
00:31:39.420 Like, a good
00:31:40.720 experiment would be
00:31:41.740 something that
00:31:42.180 wouldn't happen on
00:31:43.060 its own.
00:31:44.440 But for somebody
00:31:45.400 releasing a memo
00:31:46.280 that's in his best
00:31:47.220 interest to release
00:31:48.060 it, how could
00:31:50.200 that not be good
00:31:50.960 or predictable?
00:31:54.400 Anyway, the
00:31:56.240 other thing Seth
00:31:56.800 Abramson said is
00:32:00.000 that what Taibbi
00:32:02.800 doesn't mention, and
00:32:04.100 he says this is a
00:32:05.020 big fault, he
00:32:06.980 doesn't mention
00:32:07.700 that Twitter was
00:32:11.180 actually preferring
00:32:12.840 right-leaning
00:32:14.340 tweets.
00:32:16.160 Have you ever
00:32:16.880 heard that?
00:32:18.260 Apparently, there's
00:32:19.080 evidence of this.
00:32:20.080 And wait for the
00:32:21.080 punchline.
00:32:21.600 There's a punchline
00:32:22.260 at the end.
00:32:22.840 So don't, I'm like
00:32:24.220 leading you into
00:32:25.740 something illegitimate
00:32:27.340 here.
00:32:28.220 All right.
00:32:28.880 Apparently, there is
00:32:29.860 evidence that Twitter
00:32:32.560 actually promotes
00:32:33.720 right-leaning tweets
00:32:34.960 more than left.
00:32:35.940 Do you believe
00:32:37.200 that?
00:32:38.320 How many of you
00:32:39.040 believe that's a
00:32:39.640 true statement?
00:32:41.400 That Twitter, even
00:32:42.740 historically, last
00:32:43.960 several years, has
00:32:45.600 promoted right-leaning
00:32:48.040 tweets, political
00:32:49.060 tweets, over left, in
00:32:51.040 the headlines and in
00:32:52.000 the trending.
00:32:52.520 Was there anything
00:32:56.380 maybe I left out?
00:32:59.200 Let me say it
00:33:00.060 again.
00:33:00.420 Look for the dog
00:33:01.540 that's not barking.
00:33:03.740 Twitter, Twitter has
00:33:06.780 preferred and
00:33:08.080 highlighted right-leaning
00:33:10.080 political tweets more
00:33:13.160 than left-leaning for
00:33:14.640 the last several years.
00:33:16.700 What am I leaving out?
00:33:18.960 You don't see it?
00:33:19.940 What am I leaving out?
00:33:26.340 Oh, man, none of you
00:33:27.460 see it.
00:33:28.080 This is why it works.
00:33:29.900 This is why
00:33:30.680 Abramson's trick, I'm
00:33:33.180 going to call it a
00:33:33.760 trick, this is why it
00:33:35.160 works.
00:33:35.480 Not one of you, I
00:33:36.240 don't think any of you
00:33:36.960 see it.
00:33:38.620 Thank you, one of you.
00:33:41.520 The country.
00:33:43.660 He wasn't talking about
00:33:44.980 America.
00:33:45.960 He was talking about the
00:33:46.880 world.
00:33:47.200 There are a lot of
00:33:49.120 right-leaning countries.
00:33:51.900 And if you look at all
00:33:52.860 of the countries, and
00:33:53.700 America is just one of
00:33:54.720 them, apparently there
00:33:56.540 is some trend that
00:33:57.600 right-leaning tweets in
00:33:59.640 other countries were
00:34:02.000 getting promoted.
00:34:03.620 And Twitter wasn't
00:34:04.540 aware of it and looked
00:34:05.720 into it and, you know,
00:34:07.040 may have changed
00:34:07.600 something, I don't
00:34:08.220 know.
00:34:09.040 But Abramson is trying
00:34:11.220 to conflate, you know,
00:34:14.040 how Twitter handled
00:34:15.580 American politics, which
00:34:17.380 clearly is not going to
00:34:19.540 be the same pattern as
00:34:20.660 the rest of the world.
00:34:21.640 I mean, I think we know
00:34:22.960 that now.
00:34:24.520 So that was a very good
00:34:26.420 lawyerly attempt to use
00:34:28.540 the fact that people are
00:34:30.260 not going to read the
00:34:31.000 article.
00:34:31.780 Because you had to read
00:34:32.720 pretty far, like you had
00:34:34.560 to get past the first
00:34:35.380 paragraph or so, I think.
00:34:37.940 Fact check me.
00:34:39.100 Maybe it wasn't.
00:34:39.800 But if you just read the
00:34:43.220 headline or his tweet, you
00:34:46.120 would assume it was about
00:34:47.080 America, wouldn't you?
00:34:48.540 Like all of you did.
00:34:50.420 See, that's the trick.
00:34:51.840 It's like the magician's
00:34:53.020 trick.
00:34:53.300 He made you assume it was
00:34:54.280 America, but he never
00:34:55.540 said that.
00:34:56.820 He never claimed it was
00:34:57.720 America.
00:34:58.440 He just allowed you to
00:34:59.640 assume it because he left
00:35:01.160 out the context.
00:35:02.720 Very, very weaselly.
00:35:04.820 I'll tell you, if I were
00:35:05.760 going to hire a lawyer, I
00:35:06.720 might hire him.
00:35:07.440 Because he pulled that
00:35:09.600 rabbit right out of
00:35:11.160 nothing.
00:35:12.260 So that's some good
00:35:13.000 lawyering.
00:35:15.480 All right, well, here's
00:35:17.120 the thing.
00:35:17.920 If we believe that, or at
00:35:19.760 least there's one expert on
00:35:22.000 information warfare who
00:35:23.720 believes that even if the
00:35:25.560 Russian bots did not
00:35:26.880 influence that one
00:35:27.980 political decision about
00:35:29.280 releasing the Nunes memo,
00:35:31.600 even if they didn't, that
00:35:33.460 it's a thing.
00:35:35.040 That it could happen.
00:35:35.840 And yet, TikTok is totally
00:35:39.840 allowed in America.
00:35:42.300 What's happening?
00:35:44.220 What's happening?
00:35:47.100 Can you come up with any
00:35:48.540 explanation for why TikTok
00:35:50.700 is completely, you know, as
00:35:54.040 far as I know, every
00:35:55.220 politician thinks they
00:35:56.260 should be banned.
00:35:57.620 As far as I know.
00:35:58.860 I've never heard of one
00:35:59.620 person on the other side.
00:36:01.500 And fentanyl, everybody
00:36:02.700 thinks we need to do more,
00:36:03.780 but we're not.
00:36:05.680 Both of them come from
00:36:06.920 China.
00:36:08.480 Right?
00:36:08.700 Both of them have a China
00:36:10.320 connection.
00:36:11.400 Is it a coincidence that
00:36:12.660 two things we think are
00:36:13.780 like huge policies, there's
00:36:16.820 just nothing happening.
00:36:19.020 It's not that they're even
00:36:20.140 doing the wrong thing.
00:36:22.000 They're acting like they
00:36:23.900 can't work on it.
00:36:25.420 It's like something you can
00:36:26.660 mention, but you can't
00:36:28.460 actually work on it.
00:36:29.440 You can't make any
00:36:30.120 legislation.
00:36:30.820 You can't recommend
00:36:32.340 anything.
00:36:34.000 What's going on?
00:36:36.700 Now, in the context of
00:36:39.100 watching China get away 0.99
00:36:40.220 with literally murder and
00:36:42.180 literally building a user
00:36:43.560 interface to control
00:36:45.300 Congress, let me say that
00:36:47.060 again.
00:36:48.780 TikTok is a user interface
00:36:51.200 for China to control 0.89
00:36:53.040 Congress.
00:36:55.240 Too strong?
00:36:56.340 Is that unfair?
00:37:00.020 Now, it's other things, too.
00:37:01.480 It's, you know, a form of
00:37:02.500 entertainment for some
00:37:03.420 people, but that's not too
00:37:05.120 far.
00:37:06.100 It is a user interface
00:37:07.560 developed by China to
00:37:10.800 control the American 0.77
00:37:12.080 Congress and other stuff,
00:37:13.880 too, I suppose.
00:37:15.460 That's what it is.
00:37:16.660 It's a user interface to
00:37:18.140 control Congress, and
00:37:19.800 Congress allows it.
00:37:21.120 Why?
00:37:24.680 Why?
00:37:25.760 And it's not even, it's not
00:37:27.240 even like it's, it's all
00:37:28.740 the, it's all the
00:37:29.940 Democrats.
00:37:30.660 You haven't heard me
00:37:31.400 criticize any Democrats,
00:37:32.660 have you?
00:37:33.520 Have I criticized any
00:37:34.680 Democrats?
00:37:35.680 No.
00:37:36.800 When it comes to
00:37:37.560 fentanyl and it comes to
00:37:39.940 TikTok, there's something
00:37:41.900 going on.
00:37:43.300 There's absolutely
00:37:44.380 something going on.
00:37:46.080 And I don't believe it's
00:37:47.520 free from the fact that
00:37:49.880 the Bidens have some China
00:37:51.040 connection.
00:37:52.700 It might be.
00:37:53.740 It might have nothing to
00:37:54.560 do with that.
00:37:55.520 But could you assume that?
00:37:57.520 No.
00:37:58.220 If right in front of you,
00:37:59.660 you see Congress not
00:38:00.780 working to do your work,
00:38:02.460 sort of obviously ignoring
00:38:04.120 these two things, just
00:38:05.440 really obviously ignoring
00:38:07.080 them, at the same time
00:38:09.580 that we have a lack of
00:38:11.120 transparency about the
00:38:12.380 Biden connection to China,
00:38:14.640 that's all you need to
00:38:15.660 know.
00:38:16.900 That's all you need to
00:38:17.900 know.
00:38:19.040 If you tell me that Trump
00:38:20.520 can't win on that,
00:38:21.920 like all he has to do
00:38:25.440 is say, look, I'll do
00:38:28.300 basically what I did
00:38:29.300 before.
00:38:29.900 You know what I do.
00:38:30.980 You know I'm going to be
00:38:31.920 tough on borders and stuff.
00:38:33.300 But on top of that, I'll
00:38:34.660 take care of TikTok and I'll
00:38:36.380 take care of fentanyl.
00:38:37.980 Like actually take care of
00:38:39.320 them.
00:38:39.580 Like actually try to do
00:38:41.060 things.
00:38:42.420 How do you lose?
00:38:44.440 How do you lose?
00:38:45.300 Do you know how easy it
00:38:47.760 would be for Trump to win
00:38:48.880 if he just modified his
00:38:50.540 approach just a little bit?
00:38:52.540 Like I doubt he'll do it.
00:38:53.800 He's, you know, part of
00:38:54.920 why you like him is that he
00:38:56.400 does it his way.
00:38:57.580 You know, he doesn't really
00:38:58.360 take that kind of advice.
00:39:00.060 I kind of like that.
00:39:01.220 I like that he does it his
00:39:02.260 way.
00:39:04.260 But it would be so easy.
00:39:06.400 All he'd have to do is be
00:39:07.720 the reformed Trump.
00:39:09.080 still funny, still
00:39:12.000 provocative, but just play
00:39:15.020 it a little bit safer.
00:39:17.840 The left would be, you
00:39:20.000 know, out of ammo because
00:39:21.240 he'd be playing it safe.
00:39:22.620 And the right would be,
00:39:23.860 ah, well that's exactly what
00:39:25.580 we wanted.
00:39:27.300 The right would say, well
00:39:28.760 finally, you know, just
00:39:30.160 just act a little bit, you
00:39:32.200 know, less provocative and
00:39:33.380 we like that.
00:39:34.740 Let me ask you a thing.
00:39:39.340 What are the odds that the
00:39:40.480 election is really going to
00:39:41.800 come down to DeSantis
00:39:44.000 versus Newsom?
00:39:45.700 If you had to guess right
00:39:47.500 now, what are the odds that
00:39:49.500 it's both of those two in
00:39:51.920 the final vote?
00:39:56.140 25%.
00:39:56.620 Some say higher, 75%, 20%.
00:40:00.000 20%.
00:40:01.740 Yeah, this one's a tough
00:40:03.800 one.
00:40:05.440 It's a tough one.
00:40:06.340 And here's why it's tough.
00:40:08.760 Because if one of them
00:40:10.360 flips, I think the other
00:40:12.360 one will.
00:40:14.220 So let me game it down
00:40:15.960 here.
00:40:16.660 Let's say Trump is assuming
00:40:18.080 he's going to run and
00:40:19.900 the Republicans are assuming
00:40:21.020 he'll probably get the
00:40:21.760 nomination.
00:40:23.180 And then Newsom emerges
00:40:25.840 as the probable candidate.
00:40:28.020 Let's say Biden decides not
00:40:29.600 to run.
00:40:31.020 Don't you think the
00:40:31.840 Republicans would say, oh,
00:40:33.340 darn, we don't want Trump
00:40:36.500 running against Newsom?
00:40:38.700 Because Trump might win
00:40:39.860 that.
00:40:41.060 I'm sorry.
00:40:41.740 That Trump might lose
00:40:43.320 against Newsom, whereas he
00:40:45.160 could have won against
00:40:45.940 Biden.
00:40:47.280 So then the Republicans
00:40:48.400 would say, oh, shoot, we
00:40:49.480 only have one person we
00:40:50.560 think can beat Newsom.
00:40:51.660 And it's not necessarily
00:40:53.880 Trump.
00:40:55.520 So and then imagine it the
00:40:57.000 other way.
00:40:58.020 Right now, the Democrats
00:40:59.060 think they could beat
00:40:59.920 Trump because they did it
00:41:01.460 once.
00:41:02.300 But what if DeSantis
00:41:03.480 emerges as the probable
00:41:05.000 primary winner?
00:41:08.200 They would have to change
00:41:09.560 their choice, too, right?
00:41:10.980 Because DeSantis against
00:41:12.380 Biden looks like a layup.
00:41:15.600 Doesn't it?
00:41:16.280 It looks like a layup.
00:41:20.220 It's hard to imagine he
00:41:21.400 could lose.
00:41:23.040 So I think whichever one
00:41:24.760 goes first, you know,
00:41:25.980 whoever calls the bluff and
00:41:28.860 changes out their candidate
00:41:30.400 first, the other will have
00:41:31.860 to make the matching move
00:41:33.620 like a coach, you know, put
00:41:35.700 in the right put in the right
00:41:36.960 lineup.
00:41:37.260 So that's something to
00:41:39.440 watch.
00:41:41.740 All right.
00:41:43.720 And then taking this all
00:41:46.420 back to the WEF, if the
00:41:49.820 if China, well, let's put 0.99
00:41:53.040 it this way.
00:41:54.760 If we think Congress can be
00:41:56.540 influenced by an app, which
00:41:59.260 it probably can, and we
00:42:00.880 think that Congress can be
00:42:02.100 influenced by some Russian
00:42:03.320 bots, maybe in addition to
00:42:06.580 domestic bots, why are we
00:42:10.920 OK with the WEF trying to
00:42:13.580 acquire power over our
00:42:15.120 leaders with no
00:42:16.320 transparency?
00:42:19.280 Well, what would be easier
00:42:20.420 than bribing Klaus Schwab?
00:42:24.020 Now, here, let me be clear.
00:42:25.840 I'm not asserting he would
00:42:28.140 take a bribe, but maybe
00:42:30.960 anybody would at some level.
00:42:34.000 Klaus Schwab will give you a
00:42:35.540 million dollars to destroy
00:42:38.060 America indirectly.
00:42:39.800 Oh, no.
00:42:40.540 There's no way I'm going to
00:42:41.460 take a million dollars.
00:42:42.420 I'm no criminal.
00:42:45.660 They say, Klaus, we'll give
00:42:46.880 you ten million dollars to
00:42:49.300 secretly destroy America.
00:42:51.180 Sorry.
00:42:51.980 Sorry.
00:42:52.500 I'm doing OK.
00:42:53.300 I got a good job.
00:42:54.640 Ten million dollars is not
00:42:56.020 going to move me.
00:42:56.840 Get out of here.
00:42:57.840 Get out of my office.
00:42:58.700 How about a hundred million?
00:43:02.640 A hundred million.
00:43:03.880 Chances of getting caught
00:43:07.000 pretty high.
00:43:09.100 No, no.
00:43:10.160 A hundred million.
00:43:10.880 I will not take a hundred
00:43:11.800 million.
00:43:12.540 I will not do it.
00:43:13.580 Get out of my office.
00:43:16.320 How about a billion?
00:43:19.460 Let's talk.
00:43:21.560 Now, again, I'm not making
00:43:22.840 any accusations against
00:43:24.140 Klaus Schwab specifically.
00:43:26.000 I'm making a general
00:43:27.160 statement that anybody can be
00:43:28.620 bought.
00:43:28.940 or threatened.
00:43:32.780 Because it's not always
00:43:34.120 just a bribe.
00:43:35.540 It could be a threat
00:43:36.560 and a bribe.
00:43:37.840 Well, I'll give you a choice,
00:43:39.380 Klaus.
00:43:40.300 We can either uncover
00:43:42.420 your whatever you're doing
00:43:44.400 that would look bad
00:43:45.640 to somebody else,
00:43:46.300 or you could take this bribe
00:43:47.860 and your life goes on
00:43:49.060 and you're the happiest
00:43:49.780 person in the world.
00:43:52.100 Yeah, everybody has a price.
00:43:53.460 That's why you need
00:43:58.320 transparency.
00:44:00.520 If you, given that we know
00:44:02.400 adversaries would like to
00:44:03.800 influence things that are
00:44:05.380 not in our best interest,
00:44:07.280 we can't put up with the
00:44:09.620 World Economic Forum.
00:44:11.220 So here's the first thing.
00:44:13.360 Imagine, can you do a fact
00:44:16.320 check?
00:44:16.740 Did Trump attend the World
00:44:18.420 Economic Forum?
00:44:21.820 Why do I not remember that?
00:44:24.460 I see yeses.
00:44:28.560 Once in 2018.
00:44:31.520 And then never again.
00:44:35.560 What if Trump said he wanted
00:44:37.160 to destroy the World
00:44:38.620 Economic Forum?
00:44:42.220 Would he vote for him?
00:44:45.140 If he said, I'll destroy
00:44:46.860 the World Economic Forum.
00:44:48.560 And you know, Trump could do
00:44:49.660 that.
00:44:50.000 Don't you believe Trump
00:44:52.780 could destroy the World
00:44:53.700 Economic Forum?
00:44:54.700 Trump could actually talk
00:44:56.260 them out of business.
00:44:58.640 Because if they lose the
00:45:00.140 United States, if they lose,
00:45:03.360 you know, Trump could say,
00:45:04.860 I'll make it illegal for the
00:45:07.020 WEF to influence American
00:45:08.600 politics.
00:45:10.040 So the ESG is now illegal
00:45:11.780 because it came from the WEF.
00:45:13.520 How about that?
00:45:16.660 Just say anything that is
00:45:18.100 driven by the WEF is illegal
00:45:20.000 in the United States.
00:45:21.920 Because we don't have a,
00:45:23.100 our system is not, our 0.85
00:45:24.880 constitution doesn't allow
00:45:26.080 them to run our country.
00:45:27.680 So the moment we see
00:45:28.800 influence coming in, even
00:45:31.020 branded influence, like ESG
00:45:33.020 is almost like a branded
00:45:34.260 product kind of, kind of,
00:45:35.820 you know, conceptually.
00:45:37.640 Just say, no.
00:45:39.300 No.
00:45:39.780 No, we can't ever have
00:45:40.760 anything like that because
00:45:42.420 it came from those guys.
00:45:44.360 That would be fair to me.
00:45:46.120 Totally fair.
00:45:46.780 And that has nothing to do
00:45:47.740 with the value of any of
00:45:48.840 those things.
00:45:49.520 It's just they can't come
00:45:50.440 from there.
00:45:51.260 Just can't come from
00:45:52.260 outside the country.
00:45:55.000 I don't know.
00:45:56.120 It feels like everything's
00:45:57.560 shaping up to just hand
00:45:58.600 things to Trump.
00:46:01.300 Doesn't it?
00:46:01.880 Like, why are all the
00:46:04.880 stories Trump perfect?
00:46:08.680 If you said there's
00:46:09.700 somebody who's powerful
00:46:10.800 and they need to be taken
00:46:12.340 out by persuasion, you
00:46:15.480 think DeSantis could do
00:46:16.500 that?
00:46:18.220 You think DeSantis could
00:46:19.360 take out the World
00:46:20.040 Economic Forum just by
00:46:21.940 talking about him?
00:46:23.380 Nope.
00:46:25.160 Nope.
00:46:26.000 Not at all.
00:46:27.180 No.
00:46:27.440 There's only one person on
00:46:28.540 the planet who could do
00:46:29.280 that.
00:46:30.260 And he's not in office at
00:46:31.480 the moment.
00:46:32.220 Only one person.
00:46:33.600 If you need an assassin,
00:46:35.900 you got one waiting.
00:46:38.660 Now, let me be clear.
00:46:41.080 I've said this before.
00:46:43.360 I don't want a president
00:46:45.660 who's that old.
00:46:47.080 Doesn't matter if it's 0.88
00:46:47.880 Trump or anybody else.
00:46:48.740 I don't want that.
00:46:49.960 But if that turns out to
00:46:51.100 be our only choices,
00:46:53.820 well, I'm going to make
00:46:54.560 whatever choice makes
00:46:55.860 sense.
00:46:58.180 All right.
00:46:58.780 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:47:04.560 today being the special
00:47:06.220 Martin Luther King
00:47:07.760 episode,
00:47:09.800 I'm going to make it a
00:47:10.320 little bit shorter today.
00:47:14.560 Okay.
00:47:17.000 Sedility as a weapon.
00:47:18.400 Okay, I don't know what
00:47:18.920 that means.
00:47:21.280 Give Trump the age reboot
00:47:22.980 thing you talked about.
00:47:24.140 Yes.
00:47:24.520 Oh, yeah.
00:47:25.660 So now they have,
00:47:26.660 now science is coming up
00:47:28.000 with a thing to reverse
00:47:28.920 your aging.
00:47:30.000 Would that be funny if
00:47:30.960 Biden and Trump,
00:47:33.440 this can't happen,
00:47:34.440 but imagine if they were
00:47:35.700 the first recipients of
00:47:37.760 the newly approved,
00:47:39.260 it doesn't exist,
00:47:40.520 but it's in trials,
00:47:42.320 an aging reversal drug.
00:47:44.720 What if it worked?
00:47:47.660 Imagine that.
00:47:49.220 Imagine seeing your leaders
00:47:51.080 younger in office.
00:47:54.320 That's not impossible.
00:47:56.420 It's not even,
00:47:57.040 it's not impossible.
00:48:01.420 Russell Brand has his
00:48:02.900 WEF Royal Rumble
00:48:04.260 on Rumble now.
00:48:06.380 So they're debating
00:48:07.140 about whether the
00:48:08.040 WEF.
00:48:09.240 So here's my,
00:48:10.160 here's my summary
00:48:14.300 of my WEF thing.
00:48:16.680 If you're criticizing
00:48:18.000 individual things
00:48:19.300 that come out of them,
00:48:21.160 you're going to have
00:48:21.820 people pushing back.
00:48:24.040 We don't like ESG,
00:48:25.660 but we like it.
00:48:27.600 You know,
00:48:28.080 there's a tie.
00:48:29.500 Or you say,
00:48:30.760 don't do so much
00:48:32.460 about climate change.
00:48:33.760 And then the other
00:48:34.380 people say,
00:48:35.380 but we like doing
00:48:36.140 things about climate
00:48:36.900 change.
00:48:37.960 That's a tie.
00:48:38.580 So you need to
00:48:40.260 high ground it.
00:48:41.720 High ground persuasion
00:48:42.920 is lack of transparency
00:48:45.300 is the end of the story.
00:48:48.660 Right?
00:48:49.240 Everything you talk about
00:48:50.520 beyond transparency,
00:48:53.080 no impact.
00:48:55.820 Yeah.
00:48:56.180 You have to,
00:48:57.180 you have to make them
00:48:58.160 submit to their own
00:48:59.460 standards.
00:49:00.980 I assume that
00:49:02.780 they're pushing ESG,
00:49:04.480 but also pushing
00:49:05.680 that you have to
00:49:06.220 measure it
00:49:06.900 and report it
00:49:08.560 and be transparent.
00:49:10.480 If the WF
00:49:11.700 is pushing you
00:49:12.940 or anything about you
00:49:14.140 to be transparent
00:49:15.040 while they are not
00:49:16.520 transparent,
00:49:18.060 end of story.
00:49:20.840 Let me,
00:49:21.480 let me,
00:49:22.120 let me tell you
00:49:23.260 how smart people talk.
00:49:25.520 Like the smartest people.
00:49:27.700 If you're in the room
00:49:28.700 with the smartest people
00:49:29.800 and you're saying,
00:49:31.840 is the WF good or bad?
00:49:33.380 You just say this.
00:49:34.880 They're asking for transparency
00:49:36.500 from American
00:49:37.300 and other companies
00:49:38.420 while they are not
00:49:40.040 transparent about
00:49:41.020 their own financial
00:49:42.100 connections.
00:49:44.060 What does the smartest
00:49:45.240 person in the room say?
00:49:47.040 Oh,
00:49:47.380 we're done with them.
00:49:49.240 That's,
00:49:49.760 that's game over.
00:49:51.540 That is completely
00:49:52.620 game over.
00:49:54.100 No smart person,
00:49:55.920 no smart person
00:49:57.300 says yes to that.
00:49:58.960 Am I wrong?
00:50:01.100 Show me one smart person
00:50:02.560 who will disagree with me
00:50:03.620 on that point.
00:50:05.320 You won't get one.
00:50:06.640 I could tweet that
00:50:07.660 all day long
00:50:08.520 and nobody will argue
00:50:10.480 with it.
00:50:10.900 You know why?
00:50:12.160 Because it's a high ground.
00:50:13.820 A high ground
00:50:14.480 can't be argued with.
00:50:16.220 That's why you,
00:50:16.820 that's why you get
00:50:17.460 out of the weeds.
00:50:18.160 You've all been in the weeds.
00:50:19.740 Like you couldn't even
00:50:20.580 convince me
00:50:21.700 that that,
00:50:23.520 you'll own nothing
00:50:24.560 and be happy about it.
00:50:25.420 You couldn't even
00:50:26.060 convince me
00:50:26.680 that was a problem.
00:50:28.180 And I'm,
00:50:28.700 I'm like so primed
00:50:29.880 to be on your side.
00:50:31.540 Right?
00:50:31.800 I'm completely primed
00:50:33.720 to agree with my audience
00:50:36.240 because it's good for me.
00:50:38.480 Right?
00:50:38.960 It's totally in my benefit.
00:50:40.840 Follow the money.
00:50:41.860 Like bigger audience,
00:50:43.380 you know,
00:50:43.620 I get more advertising dollars,
00:50:45.200 blah, blah, blah.
00:50:45.720 So I,
00:50:46.340 I'm so ready
00:50:47.440 to believe that
00:50:48.220 but it's just not,
00:50:49.280 it's not persuasive.
00:50:50.940 It's just not persuasive.
00:50:53.060 So you have to move up
00:50:54.140 to the high ground
00:50:55.220 where there's no argument
00:50:56.920 by anybody.
00:50:57.700 And then you don't need
00:50:59.540 the,
00:50:59.760 you don't need
00:51:00.220 the subsidiary arguments.
00:51:03.060 You,
00:51:03.540 and if somebody says you,
00:51:04.580 hey,
00:51:04.900 but the WF is doing
00:51:06.060 a good thing,
00:51:06.760 I like this thing
00:51:07.440 they're doing,
00:51:08.500 you say,
00:51:10.140 yeah,
00:51:10.520 I'm sure people thought
00:51:11.720 that of every
00:51:12.420 terrible thing.
00:51:14.300 At some point,
00:51:16.140 you know that serial killer?
00:51:18.180 You don't think
00:51:19.000 he did some good things too?
00:51:21.320 Probably.
00:51:22.360 Until you found out
00:51:23.420 about the serial killing,
00:51:25.540 he was a pretty good guy.
00:51:26.660 except for all
00:51:27.960 the serial killing,
00:51:29.980 right?
00:51:33.380 So,
00:51:34.060 I think that's how
00:51:35.900 you have to treat
00:51:36.480 the WF.
00:51:38.040 The stuff that they
00:51:38.860 say publicly,
00:51:39.780 eh,
00:51:40.660 maybe it bothers you,
00:51:41.600 maybe it doesn't.
00:51:43.200 Forget about that.
00:51:44.880 Just go after
00:51:45.500 the lack of transparency.
00:51:47.200 And especially
00:51:47.660 if you don't know,
00:51:48.940 if you don't know
00:51:49.940 where Klaus Schwab
00:51:50.820 gets his money,
00:51:52.560 we're done.
00:51:54.700 Right?
00:51:55.600 Now,
00:51:55.880 if you notice
00:51:56.340 also in the comments,
00:51:58.500 zero pushback.
00:52:00.360 Zero.
00:52:01.860 What's the last time
00:52:02.920 I said anything,
00:52:03.980 you know,
00:52:04.560 provocative
00:52:05.060 in front of
00:52:07.260 how many hundreds
00:52:08.200 of people?
00:52:08.800 Thousands?
00:52:10.100 Yeah.
00:52:10.640 In front of
00:52:11.040 like 3,000 people
00:52:12.620 right now.
00:52:13.860 When was the last time
00:52:14.700 I said something
00:52:15.460 political and provocative
00:52:16.920 in front of
00:52:18.040 3,000 people
00:52:19.040 and I got
00:52:19.840 zero pushback?
00:52:21.640 That,
00:52:22.320 ladies and gentlemen,
00:52:23.720 is the high ground.
00:52:24.600 The high ground
00:52:26.300 is when nobody
00:52:26.960 can do anything.
00:52:28.060 They're just like,
00:52:28.620 well,
00:52:28.940 okay,
00:52:29.220 you got me.
00:52:30.220 That's it.
00:52:31.060 End of the story.
00:52:35.240 I had a great idea
00:52:36.400 for a Netflix show.
00:52:39.260 Yeah,
00:52:39.760 even the
00:52:40.180 clopperts
00:52:40.760 are silent.
00:52:41.920 So yesterday
00:52:42.540 I did an experiment
00:52:43.800 that was a
00:52:44.720 complete failure.
00:52:45.440 I went on
00:52:47.520 the Spaces,
00:52:48.840 what would you call it,
00:52:50.800 app within the app,
00:52:51.940 on Twitter
00:52:52.680 where you can do
00:52:53.500 an audio only
00:52:54.600 group of people
00:52:56.140 and you can determine
00:52:57.180 who talks
00:52:57.740 and so I hosted it.
00:52:59.400 And I asked people
00:53:00.460 to bring their
00:53:02.000 criticisms to me
00:53:03.180 and I wanted
00:53:06.700 to respond to them
00:53:07.420 because I thought
00:53:07.920 all the people
00:53:08.960 who had incorrect
00:53:09.900 opinions about
00:53:10.600 my pandemic stuff
00:53:12.360 would be coming
00:53:13.080 at me.
00:53:13.460 and I thought,
00:53:14.380 oh,
00:53:14.480 this is great.
00:53:15.180 I'll be totally exposed.
00:53:17.220 Totally exposed.
00:53:18.200 Whatever they say,
00:53:19.860 everybody's going
00:53:20.480 to hear it.
00:53:21.280 No editing,
00:53:22.180 real time.
00:53:23.240 And I said,
00:53:23.660 I'm going to just
00:53:24.040 throw myself
00:53:24.760 in the snake pit
00:53:25.500 because here's
00:53:26.920 my thinking.
00:53:29.300 My claim
00:53:30.280 is that their claims
00:53:31.360 are completely
00:53:32.240 groundless
00:53:32.960 and stupid. 0.89
00:53:35.220 If I can't
00:53:36.540 throw myself
00:53:37.160 into that snake pit
00:53:38.360 and still walk
00:53:40.060 out of it
00:53:40.460 with no bites,
00:53:41.880 they probably
00:53:42.340 had a point.
00:53:44.020 That's one way
00:53:44.760 to find out.
00:53:45.720 So one way
00:53:46.520 to find out
00:53:47.040 if you're
00:53:47.380 in cognitive
00:53:47.880 dissonance
00:53:48.540 is just throw
00:53:49.440 yourself in
00:53:49.900 the snake pit
00:53:50.540 and see what
00:53:51.300 happens.
00:53:52.220 So that's what
00:53:52.660 I did.
00:53:53.600 I'm like,
00:53:53.940 all right,
00:53:54.700 go complain, 0.64
00:53:55.660 anything you want,
00:53:56.620 no limits.
00:53:58.000 I couldn't get
00:53:58.780 anybody to complain.
00:54:01.280 Everybody just
00:54:02.020 wanted to tell me
00:54:02.600 they like my work
00:54:03.480 or have a comment
00:54:04.960 about something.
00:54:05.620 No complaints.
00:54:07.440 And here's what
00:54:08.040 I take from that.
00:54:09.900 Here's my takeaway.
00:54:10.940 The trolls
00:54:12.760 are not real.
00:54:14.680 You don't think
00:54:15.500 I can get one troll
00:54:16.560 to actually speak
00:54:18.960 with a real voice?
00:54:20.760 Yeah.
00:54:21.260 Now,
00:54:21.660 they might be real
00:54:22.240 people.
00:54:23.760 I'm not saying
00:54:24.580 that they're
00:54:25.040 programs.
00:54:26.620 They might be
00:54:27.100 real people,
00:54:28.460 but they don't
00:54:28.980 have real opinions.
00:54:30.380 In other words,
00:54:30.880 their opinion is more
00:54:31.680 about bothering me.
00:54:33.000 It's not that they
00:54:33.860 actually hold those
00:54:34.580 opinions.
00:54:35.300 Because there was
00:54:36.520 literally nobody
00:54:37.200 willing to say it
00:54:38.080 like with their
00:54:38.780 actual voice.
00:54:39.960 Nobody.
00:54:41.560 So I now dismiss
00:54:43.520 them as not relevant.
00:54:48.660 All right.
00:54:50.840 What's that?
00:54:53.240 Your take on
00:54:54.280 Trump's re-election
00:54:55.120 cannot be sincere.
00:54:57.400 Are you talking
00:54:57.860 about me?
00:55:00.220 I'm not sure
00:55:00.980 what part.
00:55:02.740 What's my take?
00:55:03.760 My take that I
00:55:06.640 have a single
00:55:07.540 issue?
00:55:08.460 Because you know
00:55:09.020 I'm a single
00:55:09.500 issue voter.
00:55:11.740 I will abandon
00:55:13.560 Trump support
00:55:15.400 the moment somebody
00:55:17.820 has a better plan
00:55:18.580 for fentanyl.
00:55:20.480 Don't be surprised.
00:55:22.720 Don't be surprised.
00:55:24.580 That's on the table.
00:55:25.580 That's what a
00:55:26.000 single issue voter is.
00:55:27.620 Single issue voter
00:55:28.460 means I'm going
00:55:29.400 with the best
00:55:30.000 fentanyl plan,
00:55:31.600 and you can do
00:55:32.320 whatever you want,
00:55:32.960 and I won't even
00:55:33.920 try to influence
00:55:34.520 you.
00:55:35.420 Do whatever you
00:55:35.960 want.
00:55:36.520 I'm just going to
00:55:37.080 go with one thing.
00:55:38.540 Now, the reason
00:55:39.360 I'm doing this
00:55:40.200 is partly because
00:55:41.840 Congress isn't
00:55:42.560 doing anything,
00:55:43.340 and anything I
00:55:44.840 can do to shine
00:55:45.460 attention on that
00:55:46.400 would be useful.
00:55:48.940 The other thing
00:55:49.780 is that you know
00:55:51.020 that when it gets
00:55:51.960 closer to an
00:55:52.800 election, if Trump's
00:55:53.900 in it, I get
00:55:55.540 more attention,
00:55:56.300 right?
00:55:58.220 So the people
00:55:59.040 who are identified
00:56:00.200 as any kind of
00:56:01.200 voice on one
00:56:02.120 side or the
00:56:02.480 other, they get
00:56:02.920 a lot of
00:56:03.180 attention when
00:56:03.720 the election
00:56:04.100 gets close.
00:56:05.660 Imagine the
00:56:06.680 mainstream press
00:56:08.040 having to
00:56:09.260 describe me
00:56:10.180 this time.
00:56:12.440 How would
00:56:12.740 they describe
00:56:13.240 me?
00:56:14.440 Well, they
00:56:15.300 probably will
00:56:15.840 cheat and say
00:56:16.600 something like,
00:56:17.560 you know,
00:56:17.920 Trump supporter,
00:56:19.260 which I guess
00:56:19.840 is technically
00:56:20.380 true.
00:56:21.640 But what they
00:56:22.660 will have
00:56:23.280 trouble with
00:56:23.940 is why.
00:56:25.860 If they
00:56:26.540 report why,
00:56:28.180 then my story
00:56:29.140 gets promoted
00:56:29.900 on top of
00:56:31.160 their story.
00:56:31.680 I would
00:56:32.760 love them
00:56:33.140 to report
00:56:33.680 that I'm
00:56:34.060 a single
00:56:34.460 issue
00:56:34.880 voter.
00:56:36.860 And if
00:56:37.440 they ask
00:56:38.540 me for
00:56:38.880 any comment,
00:56:40.540 my first
00:56:41.140 comment will
00:56:41.680 be, I'm
00:56:42.040 a single
00:56:42.440 issue voter,
00:56:43.460 it's not
00:56:43.900 about Trump,
00:56:45.020 it's just
00:56:45.600 about he
00:56:46.020 has a
00:56:46.300 tougher plan
00:56:46.860 for
00:56:47.060 fentanyl,
00:56:47.900 don't ask
00:56:48.520 me to
00:56:48.900 defend
00:56:49.240 anything
00:56:49.600 else he's
00:56:50.060 done.
00:56:50.940 I won't
00:56:51.520 defend him
00:56:52.000 at all,
00:56:52.940 because I
00:56:53.360 only care
00:56:53.880 about one
00:56:54.240 thing.
00:56:54.780 Now, I'll
00:56:55.020 probably talk
00:56:55.500 about whether
00:56:56.060 he's persuasive
00:56:57.440 or not,
00:56:57.940 but that's
00:56:58.220 not defending.
00:57:00.500 Because I
00:57:01.140 say the same
00:57:01.820 thing about
00:57:02.200 Biden when
00:57:02.760 he does
00:57:03.040 something
00:57:03.360 persuasive.
00:57:06.620 All right,
00:57:07.540 more hit,
00:57:08.060 yeah, there
00:57:08.500 will be more
00:57:09.220 hit pieces.
00:57:12.520 More hit
00:57:13.140 pieces on me
00:57:13.820 for sure.
00:57:14.220 But the
00:57:21.260 Wednesday, do
00:57:23.100 you know
00:57:23.340 that most
00:57:23.780 of the
00:57:23.980 people were
00:57:24.340 trying to
00:57:24.740 fact-check
00:57:25.220 me on my
00:57:26.020 pandemic
00:57:26.440 stuff?
00:57:27.280 It's about
00:57:27.680 my one
00:57:28.160 tweet where
00:57:28.920 I said
00:57:29.220 that after I
00:57:29.780 got my
00:57:30.180 second
00:57:30.520 booster,
00:57:31.620 no, the
00:57:32.660 first, I
00:57:34.200 only got two
00:57:34.680 shots, so 1.00
00:57:35.320 whatever you
00:57:35.680 call them,
00:57:36.060 the first
00:57:36.360 two, that
00:57:37.820 I tweeted
00:57:38.260 that if you
00:57:39.740 have your
00:57:40.160 shots, it 0.98
00:57:40.780 feels, if
00:57:42.220 you don't
00:57:42.400 have your
00:57:42.680 shots, it's
00:57:43.120 like you're
00:57:43.520 in the
00:57:43.820 pandemic
00:57:44.180 still, if
00:57:45.220 you do
00:57:45.420 have your
00:57:45.720 shots, it 0.98
00:57:46.540 feels like
00:57:47.240 just a
00:57:47.900 Wednesday.
00:57:49.200 Now, people
00:57:49.980 fact-check
00:57:50.720 that.
00:57:52.280 How do
00:57:52.880 you fact-check
00:57:53.400 my feeling?
00:57:57.380 And why?
00:57:58.520 Why would
00:57:59.160 you fact-check
00:57:59.800 somebody's
00:58:00.380 feeling?
00:58:04.000 What would
00:58:04.740 be the
00:58:04.980 point of
00:58:05.260 that?
00:58:06.260 I said I
00:58:07.100 had a
00:58:07.440 feeling, and
00:58:08.800 I believed
00:58:09.220 that it
00:58:09.560 would be
00:58:09.820 common to
00:58:10.280 other people.
00:58:11.120 My feeling
00:58:11.940 was that my
00:58:12.940 work was
00:58:13.440 done, because
00:58:14.820 I'd done
00:58:15.220 everything that
00:58:15.800 I could
00:58:16.060 do.
00:58:17.880 There was
00:58:18.400 nothing else
00:58:18.840 I could do,
00:58:19.360 and now I
00:58:19.700 had my
00:58:20.020 rights back.
00:58:20.940 Because remember,
00:58:21.480 that's when
00:58:22.580 masks were no
00:58:26.720 longer required
00:58:27.420 in California.
00:58:28.260 They came
00:58:28.580 back.
00:58:29.700 But during
00:58:30.140 that period
00:58:30.680 where I
00:58:31.020 tweeted it,
00:58:31.520 I didn't
00:58:31.820 need to
00:58:32.680 wear a
00:58:32.960 mask, for
00:58:33.680 most things,
00:58:34.860 and I
00:58:35.360 had now
00:58:35.840 ability to
00:58:36.600 travel
00:58:36.980 internationally,
00:58:37.680 in which I
00:58:39.200 went to
00:58:39.620 Santorini
00:58:40.360 and Bora
00:58:41.800 Bora, two
00:58:42.640 of the
00:58:42.840 best destinations
00:58:43.740 on the
00:58:44.140 planet, and
00:58:45.500 there were
00:58:45.720 no other
00:58:46.140 guests there.
00:58:47.680 Basically, two
00:58:49.000 world-class
00:58:50.020 resort
00:58:50.740 experiences,
00:58:52.940 you know,
00:58:53.180 like a
00:58:53.900 world kind
00:58:55.060 of lifetime
00:58:55.780 experience,
00:58:56.960 without crowds.
00:58:59.660 It was
00:59:00.420 insane.
00:59:02.060 So to me,
00:59:03.420 the pandemic
00:59:04.180 was over.
00:59:04.780 in that
00:59:06.740 moment in
00:59:07.180 time, that's
00:59:07.620 how I felt.
00:59:09.380 But why
00:59:10.080 would anybody
00:59:11.200 feel they
00:59:11.860 had to
00:59:12.360 fact-check
00:59:13.080 my feelings?
00:59:15.140 Because that's
00:59:15.820 what's happening.
00:59:17.460 I mean,
00:59:17.720 clearly it was
00:59:18.360 a description
00:59:19.420 of a feeling.
00:59:20.920 It wasn't a
00:59:21.840 description of
00:59:22.440 a law.
00:59:23.560 It wasn't
00:59:24.100 a description
00:59:24.520 of a fact.
00:59:26.260 It was a
00:59:27.040 description of
00:59:27.600 a feeling.
00:59:29.380 And people
00:59:30.080 were really
00:59:30.480 mad that I
00:59:31.080 felt that way.
00:59:32.260 And I still
00:59:33.120 feel like that
00:59:33.680 was a valid
00:59:34.200 way to
00:59:34.660 feel with
00:59:36.200 what I
00:59:36.560 knew at
00:59:36.840 the time.
00:59:37.820 Now, if I'd
00:59:38.580 known that
00:59:38.980 the masks
00:59:39.660 were going
00:59:40.100 to come
00:59:40.360 back, then
00:59:42.300 I wouldn't
00:59:42.620 have said
00:59:42.860 that.
00:59:44.140 Right?
00:59:44.660 Because I
00:59:45.020 wouldn't feel
00:59:45.420 like it was
00:59:45.780 over.
00:59:46.180 I'd feel
00:59:46.480 like, oh,
00:59:47.080 damn it,
00:59:47.900 there's just
00:59:48.280 one more
00:59:48.700 step and
00:59:49.320 there are
00:59:50.080 more things
00:59:50.540 I have to
00:59:50.880 do, etc.
00:59:52.340 So, sure
00:59:53.220 enough, from
00:59:54.660 that day
00:59:55.340 forward, I
00:59:57.980 became an
00:59:58.740 anti-mask
00:59:59.760 activist.
01:00:01.080 You know,
01:00:01.360 a few months
01:00:02.040 later, tried
01:00:03.180 to organize a
01:00:03.960 ban on
01:00:04.340 masks.
01:00:05.180 I largely
01:00:05.760 stopped wearing
01:00:06.520 them even
01:00:07.040 where they
01:00:07.520 were required.
01:00:08.840 I won't
01:00:09.180 mention where
01:00:09.700 because I
01:00:09.980 don't want
01:00:10.260 the businesses
01:00:10.800 to get in
01:00:11.320 trouble.
01:00:11.900 But there
01:00:12.240 were local
01:00:12.800 businesses that
01:00:14.300 did allow me
01:00:15.040 to be maskless
01:00:16.080 during that
01:00:17.100 second phase,
01:00:18.000 and I didn't
01:00:19.500 get in trouble
01:00:19.940 for it.
01:00:20.300 So, for me,
01:00:24.040 the pandemic
01:00:25.020 was mostly
01:00:25.980 over, and
01:00:27.540 it felt
01:00:27.800 really good,
01:00:29.020 and I
01:00:29.440 felt sorry
01:00:29.960 for people
01:00:30.520 who still
01:00:31.060 needed to
01:00:31.600 do things
01:00:32.260 to get to
01:00:33.600 their personal
01:00:34.820 end of it.
01:00:35.760 I was at
01:00:36.220 my personal
01:00:36.720 end of it.
01:00:37.700 I was a
01:00:38.100 little bit
01:00:38.320 wrong because
01:00:38.880 it came
01:00:39.120 back, but
01:00:41.500 that's all.
01:00:41.900 All right.
01:00:49.780 You had a
01:00:50.480 feeling it
01:00:50.900 was just a
01:00:51.340 feeling.
01:00:52.680 Yeah, Twitter
01:00:53.180 is the only
01:00:53.580 place that
01:00:54.040 people fact
01:00:54.600 check your
01:00:55.020 feelings, and
01:00:57.060 they'll say,
01:00:57.620 they'll say,
01:00:59.260 no, your
01:01:00.880 feeling is
01:01:01.500 wrong.
01:01:02.580 Well, if I
01:01:05.580 told you how
01:01:06.320 to think,
01:01:07.320 that would be
01:01:07.960 very inappropriate.
01:01:09.520 I just told you
01:01:10.200 how I felt.
01:01:10.660 I assumed
01:01:12.420 other people
01:01:12.900 felt the
01:01:13.300 same, and
01:01:14.700 I think they
01:01:15.100 did.
01:01:15.640 I do think
01:01:16.120 that.
01:01:21.680 Would you
01:01:22.200 feel the
01:01:22.520 same way
01:01:22.940 with the
01:01:23.260 VAC's
01:01:23.540 paperwork and
01:01:24.600 no-shot?
01:01:24.980 I don't
01:01:25.240 know what
01:01:25.460 that means.
01:01:33.120 Somebody is
01:01:33.740 making a
01:01:34.280 distinction that
01:01:35.240 I took two
01:01:36.180 shots instead
01:01:36.900 of one.
01:01:38.580 The two
01:01:39.240 shots were
01:01:39.720 one shot.
01:01:40.660 I mean, it
01:01:41.600 was presented
01:01:42.140 as, you
01:01:43.500 did these
01:01:43.920 two.
01:01:45.040 So I
01:01:45.580 made one
01:01:46.040 decision, but
01:01:48.220 it was a
01:01:48.740 two-shot
01:01:49.120 decision, just
01:01:49.720 like everybody
01:01:50.140 else.
01:01:51.260 Yeah.
01:01:51.860 Yeah, I
01:01:52.380 hate people
01:01:52.860 too.
01:01:53.480 And that's
01:01:54.080 just like a
01:01:54.620 dick, sort
01:01:55.380 of a dick
01:01:55.800 comment.
01:01:56.160 one.
01:02:03.220 Now I'm
01:02:03.880 being criticized
01:02:04.600 for my
01:02:05.240 weight.
01:02:06.880 That's a
01:02:07.480 first.
01:02:08.920 I've got a
01:02:09.640 troll criticizing
01:02:10.540 me for being
01:02:11.140 fat.
01:02:14.520 Okay.
01:02:15.900 All right.
01:02:17.100 All right,
01:02:17.720 sure.
01:02:18.020 here's a
01:02:22.400 little provocation.
01:02:24.980 So look
01:02:25.580 for a
01:02:25.860 tweet.
01:02:26.200 I retweeted
01:02:26.820 it by
01:02:27.080 Ian
01:02:27.680 Martuzis.
01:02:29.680 And you're
01:02:30.400 going to see
01:02:31.080 that there's
01:02:31.580 some, I
01:02:32.920 don't believe
01:02:33.320 any data.
01:02:33.900 So the
01:02:35.000 big story
01:02:38.960 here is that
01:02:39.420 all data is
01:02:40.420 not to be
01:02:41.620 believed.
01:02:42.880 But there
01:02:43.240 is some
01:02:43.680 real estate,
01:02:47.680 not real
01:02:48.200 estate, some
01:02:49.160 insurance
01:02:49.660 industry
01:02:50.680 actuarial data,
01:02:52.460 I guess, that
01:02:53.480 shows that it
01:02:54.360 seems to
01:02:54.720 indicate that
01:02:56.260 people who
01:02:56.680 got vaccinated
01:02:57.380 below a
01:02:58.500 certain age had
01:02:59.400 more myocarditis.
01:03:01.560 We all
01:03:02.340 expect that,
01:03:03.280 right?
01:03:03.440 Everybody's
01:03:03.980 on board.
01:03:05.260 Below some
01:03:06.060 age, the
01:03:07.640 data is
01:03:08.180 starting to
01:03:08.920 be pretty
01:03:10.220 strong.
01:03:11.480 It's turning
01:03:12.000 in the
01:03:12.300 direction that
01:03:12.960 that's creating
01:03:15.140 myocarditis.
01:03:16.740 But the
01:03:18.760 weird thing
01:03:19.800 is that if
01:03:21.140 you believe
01:03:21.600 the data,
01:03:22.300 which you
01:03:22.780 shouldn't,
01:03:23.780 which you
01:03:24.240 should not,
01:03:25.380 if you
01:03:25.720 believed it,
01:03:26.280 it would
01:03:26.520 look like
01:03:27.560 the shot
01:03:28.660 actually protects
01:03:29.760 people my
01:03:30.420 age,
01:03:32.320 actually get
01:03:32.820 less myocarditis
01:03:34.920 than you
01:03:36.260 would if you
01:03:36.700 just lived
01:03:37.280 your life
01:03:37.620 without any
01:03:38.180 vaccination at
01:03:38.900 all.
01:03:39.620 Do you
01:03:39.920 believe that?
01:03:41.480 Do you
01:03:42.000 believe it's
01:03:42.440 possible?
01:03:43.300 And by the
01:03:43.720 way, you
01:03:44.020 should not
01:03:44.500 believe this
01:03:45.100 one data set
01:03:46.100 because it was
01:03:46.780 small, but it
01:03:48.020 does show that.
01:03:49.220 You know, it's
01:03:49.560 one little data
01:03:50.200 set.
01:03:50.840 What if that
01:03:51.460 turned out to
01:03:51.900 be true?
01:03:52.260 I think it's
01:03:54.780 possible.
01:03:56.100 Seems unlikely,
01:03:57.080 doesn't it?
01:03:57.940 Seems more
01:03:58.760 likely a data
01:03:59.820 thing.
01:04:00.820 But here's
01:04:02.260 why.
01:04:05.200 You could
01:04:06.020 imagine a
01:04:06.700 situation in
01:04:07.420 which young
01:04:08.160 bodies have a
01:04:09.500 key difference,
01:04:10.900 several key
01:04:11.500 differences.
01:04:12.360 One of the
01:04:12.860 key differences
01:04:13.400 would be, at
01:04:14.480 least for the
01:04:14.860 men, and we
01:04:15.800 know that boys
01:04:16.560 are having
01:04:17.020 seemingly more
01:04:18.240 problems with
01:04:18.820 it, could be
01:04:19.660 testosterone
01:04:20.200 levels.
01:04:20.740 What if it
01:04:22.300 turns out
01:04:22.800 that, and
01:04:24.360 by the way,
01:04:24.780 this would be
01:04:25.200 true for
01:04:25.560 cancer, right?
01:04:27.100 If you had
01:04:27.960 cancer, you
01:04:29.620 want, can
01:04:31.280 you give me a
01:04:31.820 fact check on
01:04:32.360 this?
01:04:32.840 If you had
01:04:33.340 cancer, you
01:04:34.760 would want
01:04:35.380 your testosterone
01:04:37.000 to not be
01:04:37.900 high, right?
01:04:39.320 Is that true?
01:04:41.260 Give me a
01:04:41.880 fact check on
01:04:42.400 that.
01:04:43.260 The more
01:04:43.680 testosterone, the
01:04:44.700 more aggressive
01:04:45.300 your cancer
01:04:45.840 will be?
01:04:47.360 Or is that
01:04:47.980 not true?
01:04:50.740 For prostate
01:04:52.360 cancer, somebody
01:04:53.120 says yes.
01:04:56.980 So yes for
01:04:57.940 prostate.
01:04:59.560 Depends on the
01:05:00.380 cancer.
01:05:00.820 Okay.
01:05:02.420 So there
01:05:03.420 might be a
01:05:03.940 precedent.
01:05:04.960 I think there's
01:05:05.780 a precedent in
01:05:07.240 which you can
01:05:07.840 imagine older
01:05:08.660 people would
01:05:09.300 have an
01:05:09.600 advantage that
01:05:10.280 a younger
01:05:10.600 person wouldn't.
01:05:12.300 Now that's,
01:05:12.880 I'm just using
01:05:13.600 the testosterone.
01:05:14.640 testosterone, I'm
01:05:17.940 just using the
01:05:18.580 testosterone as
01:05:19.660 one example.
01:05:21.440 I'm not saying
01:05:21.840 that's what's
01:05:22.300 happening here.
01:05:24.200 Yeah.
01:05:24.800 Oh, it
01:05:25.080 increases breast 0.99
01:05:26.480 cancer risk,
01:05:27.360 testosterone does.
01:05:29.300 True of estrogen
01:05:30.340 also, somebody
01:05:31.060 says.
01:05:31.840 Right.
01:05:32.260 So you can
01:05:32.820 imagine situations
01:05:33.980 in which a
01:05:35.140 young body is
01:05:35.960 simply more
01:05:36.460 active.
01:05:37.720 Right?
01:05:38.860 Like everything
01:05:39.460 is faster and
01:05:40.600 more in a
01:05:41.800 young body.
01:05:42.320 And if
01:05:43.660 everything is
01:05:44.160 faster and
01:05:44.760 more, maybe
01:05:46.340 you can imagine
01:05:47.080 that there's a
01:05:50.880 different operation
01:05:51.540 working there.
01:05:53.620 I wouldn't
01:05:54.320 bank on it.
01:05:55.200 I wouldn't make
01:05:55.980 any bets that
01:05:56.840 that will play
01:05:57.620 out.
01:05:58.460 But it is
01:05:58.980 interesting that
01:06:00.240 we're not
01:06:00.580 getting, does
01:06:01.780 it seem odd
01:06:02.400 to you that
01:06:04.240 we're not
01:06:05.040 seeing reports
01:06:05.900 of older people
01:06:06.880 getting more
01:06:07.600 myocarditis?
01:06:09.220 Does that seem
01:06:10.020 odd?
01:06:10.280 Because it
01:06:12.800 seems like the
01:06:14.380 thing you would
01:06:14.880 expect is, oh,
01:06:15.880 it's really bad
01:06:16.540 in the young, but
01:06:17.920 it's also a
01:06:18.580 little bit bad
01:06:19.220 for older
01:06:19.640 people.
01:06:21.120 Isn't that
01:06:21.520 sort of how
01:06:21.960 your mind
01:06:22.480 would sort
01:06:23.180 of expect?
01:06:24.580 Oh, yeah, it's
01:06:25.100 worse for the
01:06:25.960 young people, but
01:06:27.220 it's also bad
01:06:28.100 for old people,
01:06:28.880 just not as
01:06:29.480 bad.
01:06:30.640 That's what I'd
01:06:31.240 expect at the
01:06:32.980 most.
01:06:33.700 But the fact
01:06:35.640 that I've seen
01:06:36.240 no reporting of
01:06:37.540 extra myocarditis
01:06:38.740 over 65, has
01:06:41.160 anybody seen
01:06:41.580 that?
01:06:42.580 Has anybody
01:06:43.040 seen any data
01:06:44.020 that suggests
01:06:44.680 over 65, there's
01:06:47.440 an increased
01:06:47.880 risk?
01:06:51.180 Yeah.
01:06:53.280 All right, so I
01:06:54.280 guess we still
01:06:54.720 have lots of
01:06:55.140 questions about
01:06:55.720 this.
01:06:58.860 You'd be less
01:06:59.720 likely to be
01:07:00.500 suspicious about
01:07:01.400 cardiac problems
01:07:02.260 in older people.
01:07:03.540 True.
01:07:05.300 But you're more
01:07:06.120 likely to check
01:07:06.920 them, aren't
01:07:07.380 you?
01:07:09.220 Aren't you
01:07:09.760 more likely to
01:07:10.520 do a heart
01:07:11.320 check on an
01:07:11.980 older person
01:07:12.540 just routinely?
01:07:14.580 I don't know,
01:07:14.920 it feels like we
01:07:15.980 would have spotted
01:07:16.580 it by now, to
01:07:17.460 me.
01:07:18.000 Because you'd
01:07:18.580 be comparing to
01:07:19.240 the baseline,
01:07:19.860 you wouldn't be
01:07:20.280 comparing, you
01:07:21.460 know, this
01:07:21.800 person.
01:07:22.400 You wouldn't
01:07:22.780 say this person
01:07:23.600 is weird, it
01:07:25.120 would only be the
01:07:26.000 cumulative compared
01:07:27.140 to the baseline.
01:07:32.280 More strokes
01:07:33.340 with 65?
01:07:34.160 65?
01:07:34.480 65?
01:07:34.500 65?
01:07:37.380 Really?
01:07:41.440 I'm seeing lots
01:07:42.480 of requests for
01:07:43.440 Viva and Barnes
01:07:44.560 to be unblocked.
01:07:47.240 What's your
01:07:47.900 argument for that?
01:07:49.800 Why should I do
01:07:50.460 that?
01:07:52.160 Because I don't
01:07:53.000 unblock other
01:07:53.640 people.
01:07:54.260 By the way,
01:07:54.800 sometimes I
01:07:55.500 unblock the
01:07:56.040 local subscribers
01:07:56.980 because that's a
01:07:57.960 different situation.
01:08:00.340 Why should I
01:08:01.240 talk to Viva
01:08:02.640 and Barnes?
01:08:03.040 I like Viva.
01:08:07.960 It does a good
01:08:08.640 show.
01:08:09.680 Great show,
01:08:10.260 actually.
01:08:10.980 I think Viva
01:08:11.820 is one of my
01:08:15.860 role models for,
01:08:19.380 well, I'm just
01:08:19.940 going to say
01:08:20.260 this.
01:08:20.680 This is meant
01:08:21.460 to be a
01:08:21.880 compliment.
01:08:23.600 So if it
01:08:24.040 sounds like it's
01:08:25.300 not a compliment,
01:08:26.120 I don't mean
01:08:26.560 that.
01:08:27.180 This is a
01:08:27.820 serious compliment
01:08:28.640 to Viva.
01:08:29.320 I watched
01:08:30.240 him from
01:08:30.600 the beginning
01:08:31.140 to develop
01:08:32.560 what he's
01:08:32.940 developed and
01:08:34.140 I thought his
01:08:35.480 early takes
01:08:36.460 were not
01:08:38.620 good.
01:08:40.140 No, I don't
01:08:40.480 mean his
01:08:40.740 takes, his
01:08:41.600 early presentation
01:08:42.960 because he
01:08:44.540 seemed nervous
01:08:45.760 on live stream
01:08:47.140 and his nerves
01:08:48.940 came through.
01:08:50.660 Now, here's
01:08:51.340 where I'm going
01:08:51.660 to give him
01:08:52.120 a huge compliment.
01:08:54.940 He did it
01:08:55.540 anyway.
01:08:57.040 He did it
01:08:57.520 anyway.
01:08:57.800 In other
01:08:58.740 words, you
01:08:59.240 could tell
01:08:59.740 that he was
01:09:00.780 uncomfortable
01:09:01.280 and trying to
01:09:02.160 make it work
01:09:02.820 and he worked
01:09:04.080 through that
01:09:04.720 until now he
01:09:06.100 has one, in my
01:09:07.200 opinion, one of
01:09:07.780 the better shows
01:09:09.360 of its type.
01:09:10.580 So I think he
01:09:11.320 went from a
01:09:13.040 really kind of
01:09:15.500 an easy to
01:09:16.200 criticize situation
01:09:17.400 which is very
01:09:18.440 uncomfortable for
01:09:20.280 most people and
01:09:21.880 he worked
01:09:22.340 through it.
01:09:23.400 So that's the
01:09:24.220 difference between
01:09:24.880 a winner and a
01:09:25.520 loser.
01:09:26.480 So like Viva's
01:09:27.220 a winner.
01:09:27.800 he's a winner
01:09:28.760 because he took
01:09:31.480 on something
01:09:31.960 hard and in
01:09:34.400 public, you
01:09:36.280 know, with
01:09:37.000 no, apparently
01:09:37.840 no problem
01:09:39.880 with being
01:09:40.460 embarrassed, you
01:09:41.200 know, you have
01:09:41.540 to have thick
01:09:42.860 skin, probably
01:09:43.880 got lots of
01:09:44.440 criticism, everybody
01:09:45.720 does, and now
01:09:47.960 he's developed a
01:09:49.120 powerful product
01:09:50.000 which I
01:09:50.480 recommend.
01:09:50.840 and I
01:09:51.880 recommend you
01:09:52.580 test them.
01:09:54.440 So yeah, I'm
01:09:56.000 always impressed
01:09:56.720 when somebody
01:09:57.660 works through
01:09:59.160 their fear and
01:10:00.940 does something
01:10:01.460 they're not
01:10:01.820 naturally, I
01:10:02.680 don't know if
01:10:02.960 he's naturally
01:10:03.420 good at it, but
01:10:04.600 it took him a
01:10:05.760 while to get up
01:10:06.940 to the place he
01:10:07.580 is now.
01:10:07.900 only Democrats
01:10:12.960 block people, the 0.98
01:10:14.100 rest of us just
01:10:14.820 steal.
01:10:15.600 No, you
01:10:16.000 should, there's a
01:10:16.880 different standard if
01:10:17.760 you're a public
01:10:18.300 figure.
01:10:20.880 You can't compare
01:10:21.920 what my Twitter
01:10:23.260 feed looks like
01:10:23.960 compared to
01:10:24.420 yours.
01:10:25.500 If you have a
01:10:26.380 hater, you can
01:10:26.960 just ignore them,
01:10:28.500 you know, because
01:10:29.080 they're going to get
01:10:29.480 bored and go away.
01:10:30.500 When I have a
01:10:31.180 hater, it becomes
01:10:32.000 their job.
01:10:32.660 Like, they'll
01:10:34.140 set up camp and
01:10:35.440 like every day
01:10:36.040 they'll sit at the
01:10:36.620 computer, let's
01:10:37.820 see what I can
01:10:38.300 say about Scott
01:10:39.020 today.
01:10:40.060 That's a whole
01:10:40.700 different situation.
01:10:41.980 I have to block
01:10:42.940 people because it
01:10:43.820 would be nothing
01:10:44.300 but that.
01:10:47.060 And generally, I
01:10:48.600 block people if
01:10:50.200 they've done
01:10:50.620 something disreputable
01:10:53.240 in my opinion.
01:10:56.640 And I think the
01:10:57.160 way Barnes handled
01:10:58.860 his treatment and
01:10:59.640 me, when I'm easy
01:11:01.300 to access, could
01:11:02.380 have asked for a
01:11:02.960 comment.
01:11:04.460 Didn't ask for a
01:11:05.200 comment.
01:11:07.280 Basically, put some
01:11:08.680 opinions down that
01:11:09.700 didn't map to my
01:11:11.640 actual views.
01:11:13.820 And that's never
01:11:15.120 cool.
01:11:16.420 There's no
01:11:17.020 forgivments for
01:11:17.820 that.
01:11:18.140 That is an
01:11:18.720 unforgivable error
01:11:20.960 because I'm
01:11:22.160 accessible.
01:11:23.540 It would have
01:11:23.900 been easy just to
01:11:24.560 ask me, hey, does
01:11:25.780 this look like I'm
01:11:26.980 presenting your
01:11:27.520 view?
01:11:32.380 Yeah, too much.
01:11:33.700 Actually, not
01:11:34.180 enough coffee.
01:11:38.740 I can't get over
01:11:39.760 how wrong you were
01:11:40.480 about Ehrlich and
01:11:41.360 the depopulation
01:11:42.140 agenda.
01:11:42.920 No, I wasn't
01:11:43.620 wrong.
01:11:45.020 That's not an
01:11:45.760 example of being
01:11:46.260 wrong.
01:11:47.860 Because I said
01:11:49.600 that nobody
01:11:50.140 important is
01:11:52.320 trying to
01:11:52.740 depopulate the
01:11:53.820 world.
01:11:54.020 He's not
01:11:54.340 important.
01:11:55.660 He was
01:11:56.200 influential, but he
01:11:58.100 didn't influence
01:11:58.720 anybody important.
01:11:59.460 Because there's
01:12:00.960 literally nobody
01:12:01.700 in government who
01:12:02.420 wants fewer people
01:12:03.220 in their country.
01:12:04.900 Nobody.
01:12:07.400 If you can find
01:12:09.000 me one elected or
01:12:10.760 even unelected leader
01:12:12.640 of a country who
01:12:14.100 agrees with Ehrlich,
01:12:16.800 then you'll have
01:12:18.780 my correction.
01:12:20.700 You'll have my
01:12:21.280 correction.
01:12:22.220 Just find me one
01:12:23.160 person who says,
01:12:24.120 yes, the population
01:12:25.540 should decrease from
01:12:27.340 today's level in my
01:12:28.720 own country.
01:12:30.280 Just one example.
01:12:32.080 And they'll say,
01:12:32.580 oh, shoot, you're
01:12:33.240 right.
01:12:33.660 That Ehrlich guy had 0.64
01:12:34.520 influence.
01:12:35.400 I say he has no
01:12:36.360 influence on that.
01:12:41.340 He does have
01:12:42.160 influence, apparently,
01:12:43.080 on how we handle
01:12:44.620 some environmental
01:12:45.620 stuff.
01:12:48.380 That didn't move
01:12:49.180 the goalpost.
01:12:50.260 From the very first
01:12:51.380 time, I said nobody
01:12:52.240 important.
01:12:54.220 Nobody with actual
01:12:55.460 ability to change
01:12:56.680 something.
01:12:59.460 There's a lot of
01:13:03.040 minds being read.
01:13:05.120 Well, let me just
01:13:06.940 say this.
01:13:07.400 I don't have to read
01:13:08.520 anybody's mind in
01:13:09.600 power.
01:13:10.280 I'm just looking at
01:13:11.280 what they say and
01:13:12.000 do.
01:13:12.620 And I'm also saying
01:13:13.640 nobody would have
01:13:14.720 that opinion.
01:13:16.460 Nobody.
01:13:18.520 You, you, nobody.
01:13:21.140 All right.
01:13:21.740 Ehrlich is clearly
01:13:22.640 crazy.
01:13:23.140 Like, he's just a
01:13:25.400 nut job.
01:13:26.480 So I believe that,
01:13:27.380 you know, some
01:13:28.120 citizens might have
01:13:29.120 bought into it.
01:13:30.080 But there's nobody
01:13:30.780 in power who
01:13:32.320 actually votes and
01:13:33.420 makes laws and
01:13:34.240 stuff who believes
01:13:35.260 there should be
01:13:35.780 fewer people in
01:13:36.620 their own country.
01:13:37.900 Nobody.
01:13:39.460 No, not Putin.
01:13:40.440 Nobody.
01:13:41.640 Well, Putin thinks
01:13:42.480 there should be
01:13:42.880 fewer people in
01:13:43.560 Ukraine, I guess.
01:13:44.680 Special case.
01:13:46.160 Nope.
01:13:46.580 China and India
01:13:47.300 did not decrease
01:13:48.220 their populations.
01:13:48.940 No, they did
01:13:50.840 not.
01:13:52.480 Every population,
01:13:53.620 those populations
01:13:54.560 are growing.
01:13:58.380 They're never going
01:13:59.280 to publicly admit
01:14:00.160 it?
01:14:03.400 Well, if they don't
01:14:04.640 publicly do anything
01:14:05.780 about it, that's
01:14:06.840 good enough for me.
01:14:08.420 Yeah, the one-child
01:14:09.220 policy was about
01:14:10.120 slowing growth.
01:14:11.160 It wasn't about
01:14:11.620 reducing it.
01:14:13.280 They didn't want
01:14:14.320 fewer people.
01:14:15.380 They wanted to
01:14:15.940 reduce the growth.
01:14:17.960 It kept growing.
01:14:18.940 Yeah, you can...
01:14:23.780 I would like all
01:14:24.800 of you to keep
01:14:25.480 yelling one-child
01:14:26.700 law that did
01:14:29.160 not decrease...
01:14:31.940 So, at the
01:14:32.640 moment, you know
01:14:33.400 that the one-child
01:14:34.120 law is not in
01:14:35.000 effect.
01:14:35.460 Do you know
01:14:35.800 why?
01:14:37.580 Do you know
01:14:38.260 why the one-child
01:14:39.200 effect is...
01:14:40.180 the one-child
01:14:40.780 law is not in
01:14:41.540 effect?
01:14:43.240 Because nobody
01:14:44.120 thinks it's a
01:14:44.780 good idea today.
01:14:47.700 And China knows 0.76
01:14:48.740 it was a big
01:14:49.280 mistake.
01:14:50.200 So, the one-child
01:14:51.100 law is arguing
01:14:52.200 my side, not
01:14:52.940 your side.
01:14:54.300 Do you
01:14:54.600 understand that?
01:14:55.900 Everybody who
01:14:56.520 said, Scott, you're
01:14:57.220 forgetting the one-child
01:14:58.100 law.
01:14:58.640 No, that's my
01:14:59.240 argument.
01:15:00.440 My argument is
01:15:01.360 they tried it and
01:15:02.220 then it caused a
01:15:03.840 demographic time
01:15:05.720 bomb that is a
01:15:08.200 problem.
01:15:08.480 So, the one-child
01:15:11.240 law is why people
01:15:12.400 know you don't
01:15:13.080 want to do it.
01:15:14.340 That's proof of my
01:15:15.340 argument, not
01:15:15.880 yours.
01:15:20.980 Yeah, too many
01:15:21.860 males.
01:15:26.500 Great lead
01:15:27.140 forward did.
01:15:28.180 Right.
01:15:28.600 But I'm not
01:15:29.200 talking about the
01:15:29.780 past.
01:15:30.180 Did Barnes
01:15:37.260 apologize?
01:15:39.880 I don't know.
01:15:41.400 I didn't ask him
01:15:42.280 for an apology.
01:15:48.720 He's waiting for
01:15:49.560 me.
01:15:51.040 Why are some
01:15:51.760 people saying
01:15:52.220 yes?
01:15:54.380 Some people are
01:15:55.180 saying no and some
01:15:56.080 people are saying
01:15:56.700 yes, that he
01:15:57.480 apologized.
01:15:58.640 Well, I didn't ask
01:15:59.340 for an apology.
01:16:05.980 Well, he does
01:16:07.380 have access to,
01:16:09.040 by the way,
01:16:10.340 do you have any
01:16:11.620 problem opening the
01:16:12.540 link in my Twitter
01:16:13.500 profile where I did
01:16:15.160 a write-up of my
01:16:16.060 pandemic opinions?
01:16:17.860 Does that open for
01:16:18.860 everybody?
01:16:19.380 I had some
01:16:19.880 issues.
01:16:23.900 It's supposed to be
01:16:24.680 public, but some
01:16:25.900 people acted like
01:16:26.980 they needed
01:16:27.800 permission.
01:16:29.340 All right.
01:16:30.700 So if Barnes
01:16:32.440 wants to know my
01:16:33.180 actual opinions
01:16:34.420 and compare them
01:16:35.280 to how he
01:16:35.940 described me,
01:16:37.700 it's right there
01:16:38.320 for him.
01:16:39.480 You can just
01:16:40.220 click on it and
01:16:40.820 see.
01:16:41.460 And if he wants
01:16:42.100 to clarify
01:16:43.280 anything,
01:16:45.560 that's up to
01:16:46.260 him.
01:16:46.420 he wrote an
01:16:53.620 explanation.
01:16:56.220 Oh, it
01:16:56.860 opened?
01:16:57.200 Thank you.
01:16:57.580 Thank you.
01:17:06.960 For himself.
01:17:08.060 Oh, he explained
01:17:08.700 himself.
01:17:09.180 So he just
01:17:14.560 explained his
01:17:15.240 side, he
01:17:15.640 didn't change
01:17:16.520 his opinion.
01:17:17.020 That's okay.
01:17:20.340 Let me read
01:17:21.280 John's comment.
01:17:22.980 I have to shout
01:17:23.720 it because it's
01:17:24.240 all in caps.
01:17:24.960 This is from
01:17:25.400 John.
01:17:26.800 Scott
01:17:27.140 Badak
01:17:27.620 communicating his
01:17:28.740 position and
01:17:29.900 spent most of
01:17:30.680 his show trying
01:17:31.840 to re-etate it.
01:17:33.060 Oot.
01:17:34.540 Good comment.
01:17:36.200 Yeah, I am
01:17:36.640 trying to re-etate it.
01:17:37.880 Oot, in all
01:17:39.760 caps.
01:17:41.620 Well, I think
01:17:42.860 I've done enough
01:17:43.600 re-etating Oot. 0.86
01:17:45.860 So I guess I'm
01:17:46.980 done re-etating
01:17:47.740 Oot.
01:17:50.100 But you got
01:17:51.080 me.
01:17:51.860 You got
01:17:52.200 me.
01:17:53.980 He caught
01:17:54.500 me re-etating
01:17:55.280 Oot.
01:17:56.400 I will never
01:17:57.120 do that again. 0.95
01:17:58.220 It would be
01:17:58.580 funnier, and
01:17:59.100 sorry, on the
01:17:59.720 locals platform
01:18:00.620 you didn't see
01:18:01.200 it, but if
01:18:02.160 you saw how
01:18:02.820 humorously
01:18:04.340 misspelled it
01:18:06.120 was.
01:18:07.880 Am I a
01:18:10.320 pilot?
01:18:11.620 Yes.
01:18:12.460 I pilot here
01:18:13.440 and I pilot
01:18:14.000 there.
01:18:15.720 The BS, that
01:18:16.480 is.
01:18:17.240 No, I'm not
01:18:17.920 an airline
01:18:18.720 pilot.
01:18:19.320 That would
01:18:19.680 not be the
01:18:20.300 right job
01:18:21.220 for me.
01:18:22.360 Do you
01:18:22.680 ever look
01:18:23.040 at a job
01:18:24.360 and you
01:18:24.620 say, you
01:18:25.000 know, that
01:18:26.420 would be the
01:18:26.840 wrong job
01:18:27.400 for me.
01:18:28.340 Let me tell
01:18:28.820 you what
01:18:29.080 would be the
01:18:29.440 wrong job
01:18:30.080 for me.
01:18:31.900 Anything in
01:18:32.640 which you
01:18:32.940 have to be
01:18:33.320 really careful
01:18:34.020 about the
01:18:34.520 details.
01:18:35.020 like a
01:18:37.540 brain surgeon?
01:18:38.660 Not for
01:18:39.400 me.
01:18:40.140 No, no.
01:18:41.500 Or a
01:18:42.400 or an
01:18:45.700 engineer or
01:18:46.480 a scientist?
01:18:47.660 Eh, probably
01:18:48.820 not.
01:18:50.020 Airline
01:18:50.620 pilot?
01:18:51.260 No.
01:18:52.180 Nope, nope,
01:18:52.980 nope, nope,
01:18:53.240 nope.
01:18:54.380 Nope, that's
01:18:55.220 not me.
01:18:56.900 How about
01:18:57.520 somebody
01:18:58.100 making
01:19:01.040 something out
01:19:01.700 of clay?
01:19:02.700 Oh, that's
01:19:03.160 me.
01:19:04.180 Because I'll
01:19:04.700 be like,
01:19:05.260 how's that?
01:19:07.240 No, not
01:19:07.940 quite.
01:19:09.020 How's that?
01:19:10.160 Now, I'm
01:19:10.600 good at that.
01:19:11.980 If I can
01:19:12.700 iterate through
01:19:13.440 my problems,
01:19:14.220 I'm good at it.
01:19:15.300 But no,
01:19:15.780 getting it right
01:19:16.280 on the first
01:19:16.740 try, that's
01:19:17.980 not me.
01:19:18.540 You don't
01:19:18.860 want me for
01:19:19.280 that job.
01:19:23.600 Just like
01:19:24.240 ghost,
01:19:24.700 exactly.
01:19:26.680 Why you
01:19:27.260 struggle with
01:19:27.960 tech?
01:19:29.220 Do I
01:19:29.720 struggle with
01:19:30.260 tech?
01:19:30.520 I don't
01:19:31.960 think I
01:19:32.260 struggle with
01:19:32.840 tech getting
01:19:33.220 more than
01:19:33.520 anybody else
01:19:33.940 does.
01:19:34.400 I probably
01:19:34.880 try more
01:19:35.600 things.
01:19:37.460 There is,
01:19:38.180 you know,
01:19:38.440 I do have a
01:19:38.840 long history
01:19:39.260 of the
01:19:39.560 Adam's luck
01:19:40.240 with mechanical
01:19:41.140 objects.
01:19:42.080 That's another
01:19:42.480 story.
01:19:47.060 You can
01:19:47.660 sell art.
01:19:48.420 You know,
01:19:48.640 I've tried.
01:19:49.220 Nobody wants
01:19:49.680 to buy my
01:19:50.140 art.
01:19:51.860 Turns out
01:19:52.460 the value of
01:19:53.080 my art is
01:19:53.780 very low.
01:19:55.120 Surprise.
01:19:55.520 all right.
01:20:01.440 Do you
01:20:01.760 have any
01:20:02.060 idea how
01:20:02.640 complicated
01:20:03.220 my technology
01:20:05.380 setup is just
01:20:06.520 to live my
01:20:07.060 life?
01:20:07.860 I have a
01:20:08.320 pretty complicated
01:20:09.380 setup.
01:20:10.580 Oh, by the
01:20:10.940 way, there's
01:20:11.260 one story I
01:20:11.760 forgot to
01:20:12.100 mention.
01:20:12.900 There's a
01:20:13.560 product now
01:20:14.840 that can
01:20:15.240 change your
01:20:15.780 voice to
01:20:16.280 anybody else's
01:20:16.980 voice.
01:20:19.000 You know,
01:20:19.600 when you're
01:20:20.300 talking through
01:20:21.500 the phone,
01:20:21.900 I guess.
01:20:22.160 that's a
01:20:24.500 little, that's
01:20:25.340 a little
01:20:25.500 dangerous.
01:20:26.440 All right, I'm
01:20:26.820 going to say
01:20:27.020 goodbye to
01:20:27.380 YouTube and
01:20:27.880 spend a little
01:20:28.320 time with
01:20:28.780 the subscribers

01:20:30.160 Locals, which
01:20:31.480 you wish you
01:20:32.160 were.
01:20:33.520 Do me a
01:20:33.980 favor over
01:20:35.120 on YouTube.
01:20:36.400 If you don't
01:20:37.180 already subscribe,

01:20:44.980 love.
