Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1990 Scott Adams： It's Time To Destroy The World Economic Forum For Being Non-Transparent

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

01:20:30.160 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

01:20:36.400 If you don't
