Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s voice is improving, and he's doing much better, which is a good thing. Eggs are down, and it could be because of something in their feed. Would you bet your life on it?

00:00:01.000 Good morning everybody and welcome to the 2000th, 2000th Coffee with Scott Adams.
00:00:09.500 The best thing that's ever happened to you, obviously, and could it be even better?
00:00:15.300 I don't know. I don't know. But let's see if we can take a run at it.
00:00:21.160 If you'd like to make the 2000th episode extra special,
00:00:26.220 all you need to do is find a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stye on a canteen jug or a flask,
00:00:32.660 a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:38.380 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day,
00:00:41.980 the thing that makes everything better, including all the crow I've been eating.
00:00:46.960 It's called the simultaneous hip. It happens now. Go.
00:00:56.220 Ah, coffee and crow. It's the best.
00:01:03.180 Well, so here's a little update. This is a story that just personally makes me happy.
00:01:10.220 Robert F. Kennedy Jr., you know, he had some problems with his voice.
00:01:14.340 And he told me on Twitter the other day that apparently something I said or did inspired him to look for surgical solutions.
00:01:23.280 And he didn't have the surgery that I had to fix my voice.
00:01:28.400 It was a different procedure, one that gets him up and running much faster.
00:01:33.740 And I just, moments before I got on here, I found a recent video to see if his voice was better.
00:01:42.640 And it is. It is.
00:01:44.120 It's not, you know, fully up to probably where he wants it, but it's absolutely better.
00:01:49.180 And apparently he told me it's improving every month.
00:01:54.100 So isn't that great?
00:01:56.340 Now, I could tell he's having the problem that I had when I first got the surgery.
00:02:00.860 His was a different procedure, so there might be a difference here.
00:02:04.280 But the first months after the surgery, I had to stop to take a breath
00:02:09.800 because I'd be exhausted just doing a few sentences.
00:02:13.240 But eventually you get that back, too.
00:02:17.360 So I'm quite, quite happy for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., if he's happy.
00:02:22.780 And I think he is.
00:02:23.480 It looks like a big improvement.
00:02:26.400 I'd say about a 40% improvement.
00:02:28.800 30 or 40% and improving.
00:02:32.020 All right, here's a story I just saw before I went live here.
00:02:35.020 On Twitter, a user named Jason Stormchaser Nelson.
00:02:41.580 He's a veteran, and apparently he's run for Congress at least once.
00:02:48.080 And he did his own research, and here's what he found about eggs.
00:02:54.120 So you probably heard that egg prices are high because of the avian flu
00:02:59.440 and a bunch of chickens had to be killed. 0.94
00:03:01.340 So supply and demand, fewer chickens, et cetera.
00:03:06.040 But Jason Nelson talked to 25 families in six states who have egg production.
00:03:14.540 25 families in six states.
00:03:17.580 And each of them is finding that their chickens stopped laying eggs at the same time.
00:03:23.260 25 different families in six states, and all of their chickens stopped laying eggs at the same time.
00:03:34.720 And he asked, and apparently they all changed their feed at about the same time.
00:03:41.040 And he's concluding it's definitely the feed.
00:03:44.600 The problem is that there's something in the feed.
00:03:47.400 This is his claim.
00:03:48.540 I can't verify it.
00:03:50.100 But his claim is that the one thing they had in common is they changed their feed,
00:03:54.440 and then all the chickens stopped producing eggs.
00:03:57.620 Do you believe that?
00:04:01.160 I'm wondering what kind of vaccination those chickens had.
00:04:05.280 mRNA, do you think?
00:04:08.840 I think they got into the Pfizer mix.
00:04:11.400 No, I don't really think that.
00:04:13.260 I know it's hard to tell when I'm kidding.
00:04:14.640 But let's keep an eye on that.
00:04:20.120 Generally speaking, is this the category of things that is likely to check out?
00:04:25.780 Let me do a BS test.
00:04:28.720 If you didn't know anything ever about this story again,
00:04:32.780 and then two weeks from now somebody said,
00:04:35.220 all right, you're going to have to bet your life whether that was true.
00:04:39.200 Would you bet your life this was true?
00:04:42.180 I don't think I would.
00:04:43.480 I think I would put a pretty big bet that it's not true.
00:04:48.660 But I'm keeping an eye on it.
00:04:51.060 I'm keeping an eye on it.
00:04:52.980 Because, you know, I don't think he's lying.
00:04:56.180 I think he actually talked to 25 families,
00:04:58.460 and probably their egg production is down.
00:05:01.420 I don't know that it's the feed.
00:05:03.820 I mean, it would be amazing if he figured it down on the first pass, right?
00:05:09.000 If he just sort of looked into it and totally figured it out,
00:05:13.220 that would be amazing, and I'd be very impressed.
00:05:15.860 And it could be.
00:05:17.320 It could be.
00:05:18.000 It could be true.
00:05:19.680 But I'd bet against it.
00:05:21.200 So that's where I'm at.
00:05:22.000 I'd bet against it.
00:05:24.780 By far the most interesting thing happening in politics.
00:05:28.000 By far.
00:05:30.800 There's nothing even close to this.
00:05:32.920 But the mainstream media hasn't figured it out yet.
00:05:36.740 There's something coming.
00:05:38.880 That's really important.
00:05:41.280 And you don't quite see it yet.
00:05:42.800 So let me connect some dots.
00:05:43.960 So you might know that Josh Hawley introduced a bill
00:05:48.220 that will ban TikTok if it gets passed.
00:05:53.600 It will ban TikTok in the United States.
00:05:56.440 Now, I don't know if it'll pass.
00:05:59.760 But here's what I do know.
00:06:02.000 If there's a vote on banning TikTok,
00:06:05.160 given that nobody's in favor of keeping it,
00:06:07.980 nobody in government, nobody.
00:06:10.180 There's nobody on the side of keeping it.
00:06:12.040 Nobody thinks it's a good idea.
00:06:13.300 Nobody.
00:06:14.800 But there will be people voting to keep it.
00:06:17.960 Right?
00:06:18.840 There will be people who vote to keep it.
00:06:21.580 Once we have that vote,
00:06:23.260 no matter what happens with TikTok,
00:06:25.580 once we have the vote,
00:06:27.320 we will know for sure who the Chinese assets are
00:06:30.240 in our government.
00:06:33.160 Think about it.
00:06:34.960 Josh Hawley invented
00:06:36.360 a Chinese asset detector
00:06:41.000 because if the issue had two sides,
00:06:43.960 where you could legitimately argue maybe we should keep it
00:06:47.140 and that it would be good for the country somehow keeping it,
00:06:50.000 if that were the case, it wouldn't tell you anything
00:06:52.520 because you'd think, well, they're just voting on the issue
00:06:55.660 because there's an argument on both sides.
00:06:58.860 TikTok is not like any other issue ever.
00:07:01.380 It's not like any other issue ever
00:07:04.560 because there's only one side.
00:07:07.440 There's literally no other argument.
00:07:09.940 There's no argument that says,
00:07:11.460 yes, we should let China have a user interface
00:07:14.880 for changing the opinions in America.
00:07:17.000 Nobody says that.
00:07:19.320 Nobody.
00:07:19.680 So we have this weird, unique situation
00:07:23.040 where everyone who votes against it
00:07:25.440 can be presumed quite reasonably
00:07:28.440 to be working for China.
00:07:32.800 Just think about that.
00:07:35.620 There will be no pushback in these comments.
00:07:38.320 Just watch.
00:07:39.200 Nobody's going to disagree with what I just said.
00:07:41.320 There will be no disagreement.
00:07:43.720 Josh Hawley actually invented a Chinese asset detector
00:07:49.540 and he's about to spring it on Congress, Senate anyway.
00:07:54.880 Is that cool?
00:07:56.900 I mean, seriously,
00:07:58.120 this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
00:08:02.600 Certainly one of the most important things
00:08:05.880 I've ever seen in politics.
00:08:07.460 But this will get no coverage.
00:08:11.740 This will get no coverage.
00:08:14.060 It might, like,
00:08:15.320 who knows if they even bring it to a bill.
00:08:18.480 If I had to bet,
00:08:20.500 I think it's not going to go to a vote.
00:08:22.640 What do you think?
00:08:24.640 I think it won't go to a vote
00:08:26.380 because nobody wants to vote on it
00:08:30.200 or there are too many people
00:08:31.540 who don't want to vote on it.
00:08:33.560 Yeah.
00:08:34.540 So if he can get it to a vote,
00:08:36.480 you know, yes, no vote,
00:08:38.240 we'll actually know who China controls
00:08:41.260 in our government for the first time.
00:08:45.000 This will be really, really interesting.
00:08:47.460 It doesn't even matter if it gets banned.
00:08:49.460 We're going to find out either way.
00:08:51.500 But only if there's a vote.
00:08:53.420 So I'm going to bet there won't be a vote.
00:08:56.940 Does anybody want to take the other side of that bet?
00:08:58.860 But let's make it a prediction, not a bet.
00:09:02.400 It's not a prediction.
00:09:03.740 My prediction will be no vote
00:09:05.460 because Congress can't out all their Chinese assets.
00:09:09.800 They'd know it would be too destructive.
00:09:13.260 That's what I say.
00:09:14.800 We'll see.
00:09:16.800 Let us see.
00:09:17.740 All right.
00:09:23.760 So at the same time that Hawley is trying to ban TikTok
00:09:27.960 for all the right reasons,
00:09:30.260 good work, Josh Hawley,
00:09:32.780 Adam Schiff, who got kicked off of the Intel Committee
00:09:37.080 for not being a reliable patriot,
00:09:40.480 the first thing he did,
00:09:43.880 what's the first thing he did
00:09:45.440 when he got kicked off of the Intel Committee
00:09:48.080 for not being a reliable patriot.
00:09:50.600 He made a TikTok video to ask for funds.
00:09:55.160 He made a fundraising TikTok video.
00:09:58.720 Now, combine that statement
00:10:00.760 with what we know about TikTok's heat button.
00:10:04.580 They literally have a button that they call the heat button.
00:10:08.180 And if they see a meme that they want to promote,
00:10:12.560 TikTok, meaning the government of China,
00:10:14.500 if they choose to do it,
00:10:16.460 they can just push one button
00:10:18.060 and make anybody's post go viral.
00:10:22.280 Now, just connect these dots.
00:10:24.880 It was a fundraising post on TikTok.
00:10:31.020 Schiff is raising funds
00:10:32.320 to presumably run for something,
00:10:35.700 probably Senate, people are saying, in California.
00:10:38.640 Now, what happens if China pushes the button? 1.00
00:10:41.340 If China pushes the heat button that we know exists,
00:10:46.220 reporting has verified that,
00:10:48.860 then Schiff's post will get, let's say,
00:10:52.400 a thousand times more attention.
00:10:55.680 What does that do for his fundraising?
00:10:58.300 If a thousand more people see it
00:11:00.960 than would normally just in the way social media works,
00:11:04.900 don't you think he'd get a thousand times more fundraising?
00:11:07.440 I mean, that might not be the biggest dollar amount in the world,
00:11:12.580 but you tell me.
00:11:15.360 If you send a fundraising video,
00:11:18.220 it's not going to raise zero, right?
00:11:21.660 Do you think he sends out a fundraising video
00:11:23.960 and raises zero?
00:11:25.760 Probably not.
00:11:27.540 So do you think that if, you know,
00:11:29.540 10,000 people see it,
00:11:30.920 he makes as much money as if a million see it?
00:11:33.580 I think if a million sees it, he makes more money,
00:11:37.260 which means that China has influenced the election.
00:11:42.320 All they have to do is push that heat button
00:11:44.320 and they've influenced the election.
00:11:46.940 They'll get more Adam Schiff and less whoever else.
00:11:50.520 Am I wrong?
00:11:52.460 You tell me.
00:11:53.520 Was any part of that not demonstrated to be a fact?
00:11:57.340 They do have a heat button.
00:11:59.300 He did do a video raising money.
00:12:00.980 The more people see it, the more money he makes.
00:12:05.040 So if TikTok pushes that heat button,
00:12:08.240 Adam Schiff has more chance of winning his election.
00:12:11.020 True or false?
00:12:12.740 That's just a statement of fact
00:12:14.340 that is demonstrably, obviously, and publicly true.
00:12:19.360 This relied on no speculation.
00:12:21.960 No speculation.
00:12:23.200 The only speculative part is we don't know
00:12:25.220 if they're going to push the button.
00:12:26.220 But the fact that they could
00:12:29.240 and that they built a user interface
00:12:32.200 to control American politics,
00:12:34.180 as well as our minds,
00:12:35.880 that's now demonstrated.
00:12:37.920 That's now in evidence,
00:12:40.800 thanks to Adam Schiff.
00:12:43.560 Now, a lot of people say bad things about Adam Schiff,
00:12:47.080 but let me support him for a moment.
00:12:49.600 You know, I like to take the other side of arguments sometimes.
00:12:52.580 A lot of people are giving Adam Schiff a lot of trouble,
00:12:54.820 and I think we should take a moment
00:12:56.800 to recognize the great value he provides to the country.
00:13:03.180 Adam Schiff is the most transparent liar we've ever seen.
00:13:10.000 When he says something's not true,
00:13:12.360 it is confirmed to be true.
00:13:14.780 If he says something's not true,
00:13:16.980 or if he says something's true,
00:13:18.160 it's confirmed to be not true.
00:13:19.400 Now, there is nobody who has a better track record
00:13:23.100 of being completely wrong, well, lying,
00:13:25.520 about everything important.
00:13:28.680 Other people, maybe they lie, maybe they don't,
00:13:31.120 but you can't tell on the next one.
00:13:33.200 The beauty of Schiff is that he's so consistent,
00:13:36.460 you can actually predict
00:13:37.600 that the next thing he says will be the opposite.
00:13:41.920 Right?
00:13:42.620 And does it matter what the next thing is?
00:13:44.960 It doesn't.
00:13:45.780 It doesn't even matter what the next thing is.
00:13:47.460 As soon as he says X is true,
00:13:50.260 you can say with complete confidence,
00:13:52.360 oh, at least we know X isn't true.
00:13:54.720 And that is more transparency
00:13:56.620 than we've ever had in our government.
00:13:59.180 Because before it's people lying, or maybe not.
00:14:02.440 How did you know?
00:14:03.760 But he's so consistent,
00:14:05.880 he's like this clear beacon
00:14:07.440 of what's true and what isn't.
00:14:09.080 You just reverse what he says.
00:14:10.480 Now, if this sounds to you
00:14:13.940 like a clever, humorous thing
00:14:16.840 based on things that sort of feel like things
00:14:19.740 but are not true,
00:14:20.580 that's not what's happening.
00:14:22.080 I'm quite literally no joke
00:14:24.480 saying that he is now a reliable indicator
00:14:27.980 of what's true and false.
00:14:29.700 And we've never had one
00:14:30.660 that I can think of.
00:14:33.100 Right?
00:14:34.300 We've never had anything that was that reliable.
00:14:36.420 You know, you just have to reverse it.
00:14:40.640 For example, January 6th,
00:14:44.480 well, let's take Russia collusion.
00:14:46.560 Schiff said that Republicans and Trump
00:14:50.000 were colluding with Russia.
00:14:52.080 Turns out it was the FBI
00:14:53.580 who were looking into it,
00:14:55.760 were colluding with Russia,
00:14:56.840 at least one member of it.
00:14:58.320 And others were talking to Russia
00:14:59.780 in ways that I would call collusion,
00:15:02.020 but you might not.
00:15:03.160 So, Russia collusion,
00:15:06.220 perfect example where Schiff
00:15:07.500 was an accurate determinant
00:15:11.000 of the opposite of what was true.
00:15:14.500 How about the January 6th insurrection,
00:15:16.460 which he keeps talking about?
00:15:19.260 Was the January 6th event an insurrection?
00:15:23.620 Because he says it was.
00:15:26.020 Now you know it wasn't.
00:15:28.500 And in fact, it's obvious it wasn't.
00:15:31.020 Because Republicans don't go unarmed
00:15:35.920 to an insurrection.
00:15:38.240 I'll talk about that in a moment.
00:15:41.280 And did the January 6th insurrection
00:15:44.500 tell you something only about Republicans,
00:15:47.880 that it wasn't a real insurrection?
00:15:50.060 No, it told you more.
00:15:51.860 Because he lies by projection.
00:15:54.220 Every liar has a tell.
00:16:00.900 And by the way,
00:16:01.620 once you hear this for the first time,
00:16:03.940 once you start watching,
00:16:05.440 you'll see it everywhere.
00:16:07.600 All right.
00:16:08.400 Some people lie only by omission.
00:16:11.960 You probably know some of those people.
00:16:13.620 You might be one of those people.
00:16:15.080 Some people lie,
00:16:16.480 but only by omission.
00:16:18.900 Oh, who'd you go to lunch with?
00:16:20.320 Bob, true.
00:16:23.740 But also,
00:16:25.420 Raquel was at lunch.
00:16:27.180 You just didn't mention it.
00:16:29.300 Right.
00:16:29.580 People who lie by omission
00:16:30.860 will lie by omission again
00:16:33.540 and again and again.
00:16:36.220 That will be their pattern for lying.
00:16:38.960 There are other people
00:16:39.860 who lie by adding detail to stories,
00:16:44.040 actually introducing characters
00:16:45.680 who don't exist.
00:16:46.560 Oh, yeah.
00:16:48.280 I went to lunch with Raquel
00:16:50.400 and Bob and Eric
00:16:51.680 and all the guys.
00:16:54.300 And then you find out
00:16:55.060 it was only Raquel.
00:16:57.020 Right.
00:16:57.460 So a whole bunch of people were added
00:16:59.260 and a liar of that type
00:17:01.200 would actually tell you a story
00:17:02.740 about what one of them said at dinner.
00:17:06.400 Like adding real detail.
00:17:08.480 Once you learn that,
00:17:10.160 that some people lie
00:17:11.040 by adding characters,
00:17:13.320 then watch for it
00:17:14.200 because they'll do it again.
00:17:14.980 People lie a certain way
00:17:17.440 and then they'll always
00:17:18.480 take that pattern forward.
00:17:20.800 Schiff lies by projection.
00:17:23.420 So if he's blaming the Republicans
00:17:24.780 of, you know,
00:17:27.580 killing a cow,
00:17:28.960 you can be fairly sure
00:17:30.700 that his team killed a cow.
00:17:33.240 And, you know,
00:17:34.240 once you see the pattern,
00:17:35.240 it's unmistakable.
00:17:36.540 He lies by pattern.
00:17:37.880 So by claiming that the Republicans
00:17:44.680 were trying to take over the country
00:17:46.580 with that January 6th insurrection,
00:17:48.580 I conclude that's an accurate sign 0.96
00:17:51.780 that he believes.
00:17:53.160 I'm not saying it's true.
00:17:54.900 I'm saying that Schiff believes,
00:17:56.980 based on this signal,
00:17:59.300 Schiff believes that the Democrats
00:18:00.900 rigged the election.
00:18:01.940 Because that would be consistent
00:18:05.140 with his projection method.
00:18:06.980 If he believed his side
00:18:08.300 committed the crime,
00:18:09.440 if they did or not,
00:18:10.340 I don't know.
00:18:11.160 I have no evidence
00:18:11.880 one way or the other.
00:18:13.180 But it shows that he believes
00:18:14.820 that the Democrats
00:18:15.820 rigged the election
00:18:17.360 because he's blaming the other side
00:18:19.600 of trying to do an insurrection.
00:18:22.080 Now, it's not proof,
00:18:23.840 but his pattern is consistent.
00:18:24.940 How about,
00:18:27.160 do you think he's ever accused
00:18:28.380 the Republicans of being racist
00:18:30.140 at the same time
00:18:31.600 that Democrats are pushing CRT
00:18:34.040 and equity and other things
00:18:37.120 which are unambiguously racist?
00:18:39.680 Of course he is.
00:18:40.920 Right.
00:18:41.580 Yeah, he's blaming them of racism
00:18:43.040 while he's doing racism.
00:18:44.660 Of course he is.
00:18:46.440 If he said that Hunter's laptop
00:18:48.380 is not real,
00:18:49.940 that would suggest
00:18:51.160 that there's some covering up
00:18:53.660 on the side of the...
00:18:55.980 Or it would suggest
00:18:57.240 that the Republicans
00:18:58.180 are just making stuff up
00:18:59.580 back when he said
00:19:00.840 the laptop wasn't real.
00:19:02.060 I didn't hear him say it,
00:19:02.980 but I'm sure he did.
00:19:03.980 I'm sure he said it.
00:19:05.240 Right.
00:19:05.780 Do I even need to do a fact check?
00:19:08.120 I have no memory
00:19:09.160 of what Schiff said
00:19:09.980 about the laptop.
00:19:11.340 Let me guess.
00:19:12.300 He said it was fake.
00:19:14.200 Russian disinformation, right?
00:19:16.040 Can he give me a fact check?
00:19:17.800 Do I even need a fact check on that?
00:19:19.660 Right.
00:19:20.240 Obviously he did.
00:19:21.400 So because he said it was fake,
00:19:23.660 you know it was real.
00:19:26.180 But you have to go faster
00:19:28.180 or further than that.
00:19:30.980 If he said it was fake,
00:19:32.620 it means that they fake stuff.
00:19:38.300 Right.
00:19:38.580 In other words,
00:19:39.080 accusing the Republicans
00:19:40.080 of faking a laptop
00:19:42.300 suggests that he knows
00:19:45.100 his team fakes evidence.
00:19:48.720 Don't know which evidence,
00:19:50.320 but it would be projection.
00:19:52.200 So it predicts.
00:19:54.280 All right.
00:19:56.100 So look for the next thing he claims
00:19:58.380 and then you'll know
00:19:59.800 it's the opposite.
00:20:04.960 Project Veritas.
00:20:06.440 How many of you saw
00:20:07.400 the latest Project Veritas
00:20:08.900 of a Pfizer,
00:20:10.860 I guess you'd call him
00:20:11.580 executive or team leader
00:20:12.940 or something,
00:20:13.940 but he seemed to have
00:20:14.880 some authority.
00:20:15.480 And here's what we saw.
00:20:19.000 We saw the Pfizer person
00:20:21.140 look like he was on a date.
00:20:24.380 So this part is speculation.
00:20:27.520 I'm going to guess
00:20:28.740 that the Project Veritas
00:20:31.120 undercover reporter,
00:20:32.920 this is just a guess,
00:20:35.040 is a super good looking guy
00:20:36.680 who can pretend to be gay 1.00
00:20:38.260 if he needs to.
00:20:40.000 Do you think that's true?
00:20:41.560 Just speculating.
00:20:42.460 Because the only thing
00:20:44.340 we see in the video
00:20:45.140 is the Pfizer executive
00:20:47.040 who, again,
00:20:49.580 I don't know,
00:20:50.500 like I don't want to assume
00:20:51.560 his identity.
00:20:52.560 That would be wrong.
00:20:54.300 But we just say
00:20:55.660 what it looked like.
00:20:57.840 All right.
00:20:58.020 So I don't know what's true.
00:20:59.600 I'll just say
00:21:00.060 what it looked like.
00:21:01.200 What it looked like
00:21:01.920 is a gay man
00:21:02.620 who was very much interested
00:21:04.080 in the man he was talking to.
00:21:06.320 So interested,
00:21:07.600 he was willing to say
00:21:08.800 whatever that man
00:21:11.080 wanted to hear.
00:21:12.640 That man wanted to hear
00:21:13.700 about Pfizer's vaccination program,
00:21:17.200 as one does on a date.
00:21:20.960 So the poor gentleman
00:21:22.700 who was suckered in
00:21:23.980 was trying very hard
00:21:25.820 to impress a man
00:21:28.000 who I assume
00:21:28.860 is probably ridiculously good looking.
00:21:32.140 Like if you just looked
00:21:33.000 at the face of the guy,
00:21:35.040 this guy was in love.
00:21:36.720 It looked like they'd just met.
00:21:37.820 So he was definitely
00:21:38.820 interested in the other man.
00:21:42.820 That's what it looked like.
00:21:44.280 All right.
00:21:44.480 Now if it turns out later
00:21:45.380 he says he doesn't identify
00:21:46.660 as gay or bisexual,
00:21:49.160 then I'll take his word for it.
00:21:50.900 But that's what it looked like.
00:21:56.160 Now,
00:21:57.520 the thing that
00:21:58.320 the thing that was
00:22:01.460 most provocative
00:22:02.560 is he said that
00:22:04.300 in a meeting at least,
00:22:05.460 the subject had come up
00:22:07.300 about whether
00:22:08.520 maybe Pfizer
00:22:09.300 should create
00:22:11.120 its own viruses
00:22:12.060 through evolution.
00:22:14.340 You know,
00:22:14.500 just take the existing viruses
00:22:15.920 and evolve them
00:22:17.540 through animals
00:22:18.360 and so they're extended
00:22:19.660 to different types
00:22:20.580 of viruses
00:22:21.080 because that would
00:22:22.360 allow them
00:22:22.900 to make better
00:22:23.760 vaccinations
00:22:24.560 as they might call them.
00:22:26.640 And the purpose
00:22:27.520 was to sort of
00:22:28.600 anticipate the virus
00:22:30.060 or get ahead of it
00:22:31.020 by seeing
00:22:32.660 what kinds of things
00:22:33.540 it could
00:22:33.960 evolve into
00:22:35.540 to mutate them
00:22:36.960 and then,
00:22:38.280 you know,
00:22:39.040 use that knowledge
00:22:39.860 to create defenses.
00:22:43.140 Now,
00:22:43.800 let me see
00:22:45.660 if I heard it
00:22:47.160 the way you did
00:22:47.900 because this is
00:22:49.280 one of those cases
00:22:50.000 where we're all
00:22:50.600 going to hear
00:22:50.960 our own version
00:22:51.620 of this,
00:22:52.020 aren't we?
00:22:52.800 Like I'm going to have
00:22:53.600 a version
00:22:54.060 and you're going to say
00:22:54.660 that's not what I heard.
00:22:56.060 That's not what I heard him say.
00:22:58.060 So,
00:22:58.500 my take was
00:22:59.640 they're not doing that.
00:23:02.540 That they're not
00:23:03.600 currently doing that.
00:23:05.160 It was only something
00:23:05.980 that somebody brought up
00:23:07.440 but there was nothing
00:23:09.120 like a vote
00:23:09.820 or an executive decision.
00:23:12.060 Now,
00:23:12.600 I don't know
00:23:13.600 how many times
00:23:14.400 I need to tell you
00:23:15.340 that if you ever hear,
00:23:17.680 let's say,
00:23:18.140 I'll use my example,
00:23:20.040 if you ever hear
00:23:20.720 that Trump
00:23:21.340 raised a crazy sounding
00:23:23.000 idea in a private meeting,
00:23:25.200 it probably did happen.
00:23:27.360 It probably did
00:23:28.500 because private meetings
00:23:30.340 are where you should
00:23:31.200 be raising crazy ideas
00:23:32.760 to make sure
00:23:34.000 everything's considered.
00:23:35.660 You would raise
00:23:36.240 all the good ideas,
00:23:37.760 the normal ones,
00:23:38.780 but if you're doing
00:23:39.740 your job at all,
00:23:41.420 at all,
00:23:42.480 you're also going to say,
00:23:43.460 well,
00:23:44.360 you know,
00:23:44.580 should we be considering
00:23:45.580 these crazier ideas
00:23:46.920 and are they crazy
00:23:48.120 or should we expand
00:23:50.260 our thinking
00:23:50.760 to be a little more,
00:23:52.100 you know,
00:23:52.780 inclusive?
00:23:54.700 So,
00:23:55.280 yes,
00:23:55.620 if you're hearing
00:23:56.500 what's happening
00:23:57.120 behind closed doors,
00:23:59.140 it should sound crazy
00:24:00.360 and dangerous,
00:24:02.600 but the only thing
00:24:04.180 that matters
00:24:04.500 is if they're going
00:24:05.160 to do it.
00:24:06.420 It doesn't matter
00:24:07.320 how many crazy ideas
00:24:08.820 are rejected.
00:24:10.760 It only matters
00:24:11.720 which ones they do.
00:24:15.700 That said,
00:24:17.700 could you pick up
00:24:18.540 from the attitude,
00:24:19.440 if you saw the video,
00:24:20.580 could you pick up
00:24:21.240 from the attitude
00:24:21.840 that it didn't sound
00:24:22.920 like the worst idea
00:24:23.960 to him?
00:24:26.280 He didn't talk
00:24:27.340 about it in horror.
00:24:29.340 He talked about it
00:24:30.340 with a smile,
00:24:31.440 but he did very clearly
00:24:33.120 say it would be
00:24:33.960 dangerous,
00:24:34.540 dangerous shit,
00:24:36.040 right,
00:24:36.400 in his own words.
00:24:37.480 He was very clear
00:24:38.360 about the level
00:24:39.820 of risk that would be,
00:24:41.980 and he didn't seem
00:24:42.740 like he was on board
00:24:43.560 with it.
00:24:44.940 I didn't get the sense
00:24:46.120 that he would be
00:24:46.740 comfortable with that
00:24:47.580 level of risk.
00:24:48.940 It looked like he was
00:24:50.020 almost a warning
00:24:51.780 against it.
00:24:55.840 However,
00:24:57.280 here's the thing
00:24:58.200 that is genuinely
00:24:59.220 worthy of fear.
00:25:00.960 It actually came up
00:25:02.360 like it was actually
00:25:04.580 discussed.
00:25:06.460 Now,
00:25:06.960 I don't think
00:25:07.380 they're going to do it,
00:25:08.420 but we're sort of
00:25:09.960 at a place where
00:25:10.560 we don't trust anybody
00:25:11.440 about anything,
00:25:13.280 so you never know.
00:25:14.880 Could they do it
00:25:15.580 with a third-party
00:25:16.900 company that's not
00:25:17.960 under their control?
00:25:20.020 Could they do it
00:25:20.720 with some lab
00:25:21.780 in Ukraine
00:25:23.200 or some other
00:25:24.060 country and then
00:25:24.920 say,
00:25:25.340 well,
00:25:25.560 it wasn't us.
00:25:26.580 We just paid them
00:25:27.580 to do it.
00:25:28.460 Or it wasn't us.
00:25:30.520 So,
00:25:31.560 I think it's a good
00:25:34.980 insight into maybe
00:25:36.540 the internal thinking.
00:25:39.200 It might be less
00:25:39.940 of an insight into
00:25:40.800 what's actually
00:25:41.320 going to happen.
00:25:43.480 But,
00:25:44.420 it's certainly
00:25:45.120 worthy of your
00:25:46.180 attention.
00:25:46.780 I think Project
00:25:47.600 Veritas did good
00:25:49.200 work in this case,
00:25:50.460 so I'll give them
00:25:52.260 an attaboy.
00:25:54.240 By the way,
00:25:54.840 remind me to tell
00:25:55.600 you my new idea
00:25:57.140 for ending addiction.
00:25:59.700 All right,
00:26:00.680 because I forgot
00:26:01.160 to make a note
00:26:01.760 to myself,
00:26:02.520 so don't let me
00:26:03.220 sign off before
00:26:03.880 I tell you my
00:26:04.560 anti-addiction
00:26:06.060 reframe.
00:26:09.640 As you know,
00:26:10.520 I'm noted for
00:26:13.400 saying that
00:26:14.100 our existence,
00:26:16.000 our reality,
00:26:17.200 is like two
00:26:18.280 movies that run
00:26:19.020 on one screen.
00:26:21.120 In the past
00:26:21.960 week or so,
00:26:23.240 I wanted to
00:26:23.840 experience the
00:26:24.600 other movie.
00:26:26.160 So,
00:26:26.560 I've lived in a
00:26:27.960 movie for the
00:26:28.580 last few years,
00:26:29.320 which is sort of
00:26:29.900 my own movie,
00:26:31.040 as we all do,
00:26:32.340 right?
00:26:32.580 We're all living
00:26:33.140 in our own movie.
00:26:34.140 But in my movie,
00:26:35.440 there were a set
00:26:36.020 of things that were
00:26:36.720 true and obvious.
00:26:37.680 But in the other
00:26:39.720 movie,
00:26:40.200 all those things
00:26:40.920 were not true
00:26:41.660 and certainly
00:26:42.980 weren't obvious.
00:26:44.880 Now,
00:26:45.380 it was the same
00:26:45.860 set of facts,
00:26:47.280 but people looked
00:26:48.020 at me and said,
00:26:49.780 oh,
00:26:50.220 you're one type
00:26:52.280 of person and
00:26:52.900 it's your opinion
00:26:53.480 that this and
00:26:54.440 that is true.
00:26:55.600 So,
00:26:56.020 there's one version
00:26:56.620 of me in which
00:26:57.200 I was anti-mandate,
00:26:58.720 anti-mask,
00:26:59.940 and very,
00:27:00.820 very skeptical
00:27:01.480 of vaccinations
00:27:03.660 and always said
00:27:05.360 so clearly in
00:27:06.200 public.
00:27:07.200 But that's
00:27:07.580 just one movie.
00:27:08.740 In the other movie,
00:27:09.620 I was one of the
00:27:10.280 primary advocates
00:27:11.540 of vaccinations,
00:27:12.680 sort of the
00:27:13.060 opposite of the
00:27:13.940 other movie,
00:27:14.820 and that I was
00:27:15.460 pro-mask instead
00:27:17.080 of being an
00:27:17.720 anti-mask advocate.
00:27:19.780 So,
00:27:20.380 they're completely
00:27:21.000 different,
00:27:21.520 opposite movies.
00:27:22.720 Now,
00:27:22.960 what I tried
00:27:23.540 unsuccessfully to
00:27:25.820 do for weeks,
00:27:27.260 and most of you
00:27:28.060 saw me struggling,
00:27:29.220 is I tried to
00:27:30.260 merge those two
00:27:31.180 movies.
00:27:32.220 And I tried to
00:27:32.820 tell the people
00:27:33.360 who were not
00:27:33.960 in my movie,
00:27:35.120 hey,
00:27:35.860 you have some
00:27:36.720 facts wrong,
00:27:37.320 or that's not
00:27:38.120 what I was
00:27:38.480 ever thinking
00:27:38.980 or saying.
00:27:39.840 Didn't work
00:27:40.320 at all.
00:27:41.460 Just made
00:27:41.840 everything worse.
00:27:43.200 So,
00:27:44.280 you may have
00:27:45.020 noticed
00:27:46.880 that I wanted
00:27:48.600 to see what
00:27:49.040 would happen
00:27:49.540 if I simply
00:27:50.340 entered the
00:27:50.920 other movie.
00:27:52.260 Now,
00:27:52.780 in order to
00:27:53.220 enter the
00:27:53.600 other movie,
00:27:54.360 you can't
00:27:55.660 deny the
00:27:56.400 reality,
00:27:57.580 because it's
00:27:58.040 the reality.
00:27:59.460 People just
00:28:00.040 don't change
00:28:01.260 their reality,
00:28:03.220 basically.
00:28:03.480 So I
00:28:04.420 entered the
00:28:04.760 other movie
00:28:05.180 in which I
00:28:05.680 was wrong
00:28:06.140 about everything,
00:28:07.440 and what I
00:28:07.980 really needed
00:28:08.600 to do was
00:28:09.520 apologize.
00:28:10.940 Now,
00:28:11.220 everything in
00:28:11.760 that movie
00:28:12.140 is consistent,
00:28:13.460 and I'm not
00:28:14.360 telling you that
00:28:14.960 they're wrong,
00:28:16.360 I'm just
00:28:17.260 telling you I've
00:28:17.860 never lived in
00:28:18.460 that movie
00:28:18.860 before.
00:28:20.060 Like,
00:28:20.220 none of that
00:28:21.000 is familiar
00:28:21.860 to my
00:28:22.940 experience.
00:28:24.160 But I
00:28:24.700 thought if I
00:28:25.200 could enter
00:28:25.620 it and just
00:28:26.100 act like it's
00:28:26.720 all true,
00:28:28.360 I could learn
00:28:29.000 something,
00:28:30.580 and maybe
00:28:31.140 somebody else
00:28:32.120 would learn
00:28:32.420 something,
00:28:32.700 too.
00:28:33.340 So I've
00:28:33.660 been living
00:28:34.060 in the
00:28:34.380 other movie
00:28:34.880 for a while
00:28:35.400 and just
00:28:35.800 agreeing with
00:28:36.420 everything they
00:28:36.980 say and
00:28:38.560 apologizing based
00:28:40.140 on their
00:28:40.460 demands.
00:28:41.520 It turns out
00:28:42.340 it made them
00:28:42.920 very happy.
00:28:45.500 I wasn't
00:28:46.260 sure how it
00:28:46.800 would turn
00:28:47.120 out, but
00:28:48.080 the people
00:28:48.540 who saw me
00:28:49.540 enter their
00:28:50.080 movie said,
00:28:51.560 yay,
00:28:52.280 somebody watching
00:28:53.120 our movie and
00:28:54.200 agreeing with
00:28:54.740 us, not only
00:28:55.860 agreeing, but
00:28:56.540 eating crow and
00:28:58.100 acknowledging he
00:28:59.360 was wrong about
00:28:59.980 everything, which
00:29:01.420 I eagerly,
00:29:02.420 confess, in the
00:29:05.440 other movie.
00:29:07.080 Now, I got so
00:29:08.800 deeply in the
00:29:09.420 other movie
00:29:09.920 that I saw
00:29:16.240 that Elon Musk
00:29:17.100 actually kind of
00:29:19.640 crossed over into
00:29:20.400 my second movie a
00:29:21.800 little bit, and I
00:29:23.660 tweeted, because
00:29:24.740 this is something
00:29:25.440 that only makes
00:29:26.960 sense in one of
00:29:27.800 the movies, and
00:29:29.340 the movie I
00:29:29.900 came from, I
00:29:31.540 would, now, this
00:29:32.620 is not a true
00:29:33.400 statement, right,
00:29:34.940 because I'm not
00:29:35.360 claiming one of the
00:29:36.200 movies is true.
00:29:37.600 I'm only claiming
00:29:38.360 that there are two
00:29:38.940 movies, and you
00:29:40.200 can live in them
00:29:40.920 just like they're
00:29:41.520 real.
00:29:42.120 I don't know which
00:29:42.700 one's real.
00:29:43.280 Maybe neither of
00:29:44.540 them, maybe neither
00:29:45.780 of them.
00:29:46.280 But in the movie I
00:29:47.300 came from, the old 0.97
00:29:48.420 movie, I was one
00:29:49.980 of the most well
00:29:50.800 informed people on
00:29:52.800 all things pandemic.
00:29:55.000 Seems weird,
00:29:55.820 doesn't it?
00:29:56.340 Like, that's such
00:29:57.240 an unfamiliar movie
00:29:58.140 to you.
00:29:58.840 But in the other
00:29:59.440 movie, the one I've
00:30:00.240 entered for the last
00:30:01.020 week, I was the
00:30:02.580 least informed person
00:30:03.960 on the entire
00:30:04.620 pandemic, right?
00:30:07.060 And you can see
00:30:07.920 both movies playing,
00:30:08.940 right?
00:30:10.060 One, I was one of
00:30:11.100 the most well
00:30:12.380 informed people on
00:30:13.400 all things pandemic.
00:30:15.200 That's what I was
00:30:15.920 living in, because I
00:30:17.100 literally talked about
00:30:17.900 it and researched it
00:30:18.680 every day for years.
00:30:20.800 But in the other
00:30:21.620 movie, I hadn't been
00:30:23.180 paying attention to
00:30:24.040 anything.
00:30:24.380 And so, as a
00:30:26.220 real test of the
00:30:27.000 other movie, I
00:30:28.300 tweeted that I was
00:30:29.920 just finding out
00:30:30.800 yesterday that the
00:30:32.980 shots did not
00:30:34.920 provide a vaccination
00:30:37.740 effect.
00:30:39.320 So I actually
00:30:40.260 tweeted that I was
00:30:41.000 just finding out
00:30:41.820 yesterday for the
00:30:42.540 first time that
00:30:44.400 these shots do not
00:30:45.940 prevent transmission,
00:30:47.220 or that they don't
00:30:48.020 prevent transmission.
00:30:49.520 Now, in the movie I
00:30:50.960 came from, that was
00:30:52.340 just funny.
00:30:54.380 And everybody who
00:30:55.260 lived in my old
00:30:56.280 movie would have
00:30:57.380 laughed at it, because
00:30:58.560 certainly, the one
00:30:59.600 thing everybody knew,
00:31:01.560 everybody, is that the
00:31:03.600 vaccinations did not 0.65
00:31:05.240 prevent transmission.
00:31:07.680 That's the one thing
00:31:08.740 that 100% of the world
00:31:10.560 knows.
00:31:11.620 Is there anybody who
00:31:12.400 doesn't know that now?
00:31:14.200 So when I said it, I
00:31:15.600 thought, well, this would
00:31:16.300 be the most obvious
00:31:17.200 thing you could say that
00:31:19.240 will really out me, and
00:31:20.900 the people in the other
00:31:21.620 movie will immediately
00:31:22.620 know that I'm not, I'm
00:31:25.200 not from their movie.
00:31:26.840 I'm in their movie, and
00:31:28.360 I'm being compatible with
00:31:29.420 their movie in every way.
00:31:30.760 But they should identify
00:31:32.200 me as a visitor from
00:31:34.280 another movie.
00:31:36.040 But instead, and I can't
00:31:38.800 read Elon Musk's mind, but
00:31:40.580 he did, he did respond,
00:31:43.940 and pointed out that the
00:31:47.200 government didn't tell us
00:31:49.220 as soon as they knew,
00:31:51.240 didn't tell the public as
00:31:52.400 soon as they knew that it
00:31:53.620 wasn't preventing
00:31:54.860 transmission.
00:31:56.360 Now, I feel like he
00:31:58.160 might have believed that I
00:31:59.140 really didn't know that.
00:32:01.960 Did anybody see the tweet?
00:32:03.840 It got close to 4 million
00:32:05.520 views.
00:32:07.440 4 million people saw it,
00:32:10.280 because Elon Musk
00:32:11.980 responded.
00:32:13.320 4 million people.
00:32:14.600 Let me say this again.
00:32:17.280 4 million people were
00:32:19.600 exposed to believing that I
00:32:22.900 was the only person in the
00:32:24.140 United States who was not
00:32:26.320 aware that the vaccinations
00:32:28.320 don't block transmission.
00:32:31.460 And apparently 4 million
00:32:33.220 people probably believed that
00:32:34.500 I really, that that was
00:32:36.940 true.
00:32:37.180 So, anyway, apparently
00:32:44.200 there's nothing you can say
00:32:45.720 in the other movie that
00:32:47.920 will, that will out you as
00:32:50.280 a visitor.
00:32:52.720 Just think about it.
00:32:54.040 Now, I've told you this
00:32:55.740 before, but this is the
00:32:57.880 closest you've ever seen to
00:32:59.200 seeing a demonstration of
00:33:00.400 it.
00:33:01.440 And here's what I've told you
00:33:02.280 before.
00:33:03.620 A trained hypnotist can
00:33:06.460 become invisible.
00:33:10.580 I could actually become
00:33:12.080 invisible to other
00:33:14.160 people's opinions and
00:33:15.840 awareness.
00:33:17.960 And it's the damnedest
00:33:18.960 thing.
00:33:19.600 Until you've done it, you
00:33:21.040 can't believe it's a thing.
00:33:22.700 But the way you become
00:33:23.820 invisible is you just are
00:33:26.560 not compatible with what
00:33:27.940 they think is true.
00:33:30.000 And once people's frame is
00:33:31.520 set, they can only see
00:33:33.200 things that belong in the
00:33:34.340 frame.
00:33:34.640 So if you don't belong in
00:33:36.600 the frame, you can walk
00:33:39.560 right into it and you
00:33:40.480 won't even, they won't
00:33:41.360 even see you.
00:33:42.240 You'll just be invisible.
00:33:44.020 I've done it a lot of
00:33:45.040 times in a lot of different
00:33:45.980 contexts.
00:33:46.780 Every time it happens, I
00:33:48.140 just can't believe it.
00:33:49.980 It's sort of like a magic
00:33:51.180 trick where you can do a
00:33:52.940 magic trick where somebody's
00:33:54.260 looking right at the trick.
00:33:56.420 And even as you're doing
00:33:57.520 the trick, because I do some
00:33:59.020 amateur magic tricks, even
00:34:01.800 when they're looking at
00:34:02.880 exactly how the trick is
00:34:04.860 done, it's invisible because
00:34:07.720 you've trained them not to
00:34:09.020 see it.
00:34:09.920 It's just an amazing
00:34:10.940 phenomenon.
00:34:12.200 So I managed to actually
00:34:13.400 enter an entire movie that I
00:34:15.720 didn't belong, simply became
00:34:17.780 an actor in the movie, and
00:34:19.440 millions of people took it as
00:34:22.060 truth.
00:34:23.020 Yeah, Jimmy Dore did an entire
00:34:24.960 show in which he thought I was
00:34:27.100 in that movie.
00:34:30.580 Was that interesting or no?
00:34:33.200 Right, I'm coping and
00:34:34.340 clotting.
00:34:35.300 Coping and clotting as hard as
00:34:36.580 I can.
00:34:38.460 Well, I did a little, then I
00:34:40.140 saw some argument about when
00:34:41.720 we knew that the vaccinations
00:34:43.980 did not block transmission.
00:34:46.420 Now, this blew my mind.
00:34:48.160 Are you ready for this?
00:34:49.020 This is going to blow your
00:34:49.900 mind, because this is from the
00:34:51.520 other movie.
00:34:53.160 This is something I took from
00:34:55.500 the other movie I visited, and
00:34:57.820 now with this audience, I'm
00:34:59.160 back to my original movie.
00:35:01.240 Here's something I'll bet is
00:35:02.780 going to blow your mind.
00:35:06.300 On December 20th, I'm sorry,
00:35:09.700 on December 2020, this would
00:35:13.780 be, correct my timeline, so
00:35:18.000 that's a few months after the
00:35:19.380 vaccinations came out, right?
00:35:21.000 Or just about when they came
00:35:22.520 out?
00:35:22.720 December 2020, when did
00:35:26.040 vaccinations came out, in the
00:35:28.620 fall or the spring?
00:35:31.100 Early 2021.
00:35:34.180 So December 2020 is just before
00:35:36.900 the vaccinations, right?
00:35:39.180 Okay.
00:35:40.380 So December 2020, the government
00:35:43.080 told us vaccinations won't
00:35:44.720 necessarily stop transmission.
00:35:47.240 Did you know that?
00:35:49.400 That there was a, I forget which
00:35:51.080 government entity.
00:35:52.020 The government, in December
00:35:54.740 2020, said, don't expect this to
00:35:57.940 stop transmission.
00:35:59.880 You know, it might save your
00:36:01.160 life, but it won't stop
00:36:02.520 transmission.
00:36:03.800 I never, I didn't believe it.
00:36:06.300 But I saw the document.
00:36:08.280 Yeah, I saw the document.
00:36:09.700 This gets weirder.
00:36:11.020 Are you ready for this?
00:36:12.140 Do you all remember that the
00:36:13.400 head of the CDC said on March
00:36:16.820 29th, 2021, right?
00:36:20.120 That would be a few months into the
00:36:21.620 vaccinations.
00:36:22.840 So a few months into the
00:36:24.320 vaccinations, Walensky said in
00:36:27.760 public that the vaccinated don't
00:36:30.620 carry the virus, which would
00:36:33.680 suggest you can't spread it.
00:36:36.040 Did you all hear that?
00:36:37.620 In your movie, did that happen?
00:36:40.220 Are you all aware that that
00:36:41.640 happened in your movie?
00:36:43.340 It did.
00:36:44.300 Right.
00:36:44.500 You can find the video.
00:36:46.000 She says it very clearly.
00:36:47.520 Now, here's the part that I'll bet
00:36:49.960 you didn't know.
00:36:51.900 All right.
00:36:52.240 I'm going to see how many heads I
00:36:53.240 can explode.
00:36:54.960 Did you know that the next day the
00:36:56.560 CDC corrected her and said, no,
00:36:59.220 that's not true.
00:37:00.100 It doesn't stop.
00:37:00.820 It doesn't stop the spread.
00:37:03.380 Did you know that?
00:37:05.640 Yeah.
00:37:06.300 So all the time that we were
00:37:07.940 saying, hey, the government keeps
00:37:10.340 saying that the vaccination will
00:37:11.680 stop the spread, the actual
00:37:14.320 authority was saying it doesn't.
00:37:16.280 The government.
00:37:17.860 So when I think you saw Biden say
00:37:21.220 it would stop the spread when the
00:37:23.340 CDC said it wouldn't, you saw Bill
00:37:25.900 Gates say it would stop the spread.
00:37:27.460 I don't know if he said it before or
00:37:28.800 after the CDC said it wouldn't, you
00:37:31.660 saw Maddow, you know, yeah, Rachel
00:37:33.540 Maddow say it would stop the spread
00:37:34.940 when the CDC said it wouldn't.
00:37:37.560 Now, did you know that?
00:37:39.780 How many of you knew that the
00:37:41.680 government was sending two clear
00:37:43.880 messages that were opposites at the
00:37:46.280 same time?
00:37:47.560 The head of the CDC and the CDC
00:37:49.480 itself were sending opposite
00:37:51.380 messages at the same time.
00:37:53.640 Did you know that?
00:37:56.400 I somehow missed that.
00:37:58.020 I thought that they believed it all
00:38:00.820 until they stopped believing it.
00:38:02.700 I didn't know they were sending both
00:38:04.220 messages at the same time.
00:38:06.420 Is that wild?
00:38:08.240 Is anybody's head blowing up?
00:38:10.340 Because my head blew up when I saw
00:38:12.160 this.
00:38:12.820 Are you kidding me?
00:38:14.100 That both messages were there all
00:38:15.880 the time?
00:38:17.380 I don't remember that at all.
00:38:21.560 Yeah.
00:38:22.040 So the news was certainly the wrongest.
00:38:25.080 And the leaders were very wrong.
00:38:28.660 But the experts,
00:38:30.460 the scientists were saying from the
00:38:32.360 start,
00:38:33.180 might cut it down a little bit.
00:38:35.880 It's not going to stop it.
00:38:38.220 Now, and of course,
00:38:39.840 there would be a debate over whether
00:38:41.440 it cut it down.
00:38:43.160 Right.
00:38:43.260 So some say it was effective against
00:38:46.460 alpha and a little bit against
00:38:47.760 delta and not at all against
00:38:50.040 Omicron.
00:38:51.260 So maybe there might have been,
00:38:52.380 you know,
00:38:52.680 a month or so where it flattened the
00:38:54.680 curve or something.
00:38:55.980 It is possible that it kept the
00:38:59.640 health care system working.
00:39:01.980 Oh,
00:39:02.200 let me ask you that.
00:39:04.380 Given that it did seem to be more
00:39:07.800 effective with alpha and delta and
00:39:10.380 sort of useless against Omicron,
00:39:13.160 that's an opinion,
00:39:14.240 not a scientific statement.
00:39:18.240 Do you think it,
00:39:19.260 do you think it helped flatten the
00:39:21.560 curve or at least flatten the curve in
00:39:23.860 terms of hospitalization?
00:39:25.820 Do you think it took some burden off
00:39:27.260 the hospitals?
00:39:31.380 All right.
00:39:31.700 I'm seeing a mix.
00:39:33.160 Just during,
00:39:33.960 only during alpha and Omicron,
00:39:35.560 when it did seem to have the biggest
00:39:38.120 effect,
00:39:39.220 they told us,
00:39:40.380 so there are people who think that it
00:39:42.680 didn't keep anybody out of the
00:39:43.860 hospital,
00:39:44.240 right?
00:39:46.680 I'm seeing more no's than yes's.
00:39:49.420 So most of my audience is in the
00:39:51.940 movie where the vaccinations didn't
00:39:53.800 ever work,
00:39:54.900 right?
00:39:56.000 Is that what you're saying?
00:39:57.680 Like it didn't have any impact at
00:39:59.020 all.
00:39:59.380 It didn't protect people and it didn't
00:40:00.840 stop the spread. 1.00
00:40:03.580 They lied about that too,
00:40:04.820 somebody says.
00:40:06.240 All right.
00:40:06.400 So my audience is this movie.
00:40:08.500 So the movie I'm experiencing right now,
00:40:12.640 you,
00:40:13.020 you all experienced a pandemic where the
00:40:15.260 vaccination was just a fake and it 1.00
00:40:17.740 didn't do anything.
00:40:18.780 And apparently a number of people
00:40:20.000 believe that our leaders took a saline
00:40:22.940 solution.
00:40:23.980 They didn't take the actual vaccination.
00:40:25.660 I'm seeing people confirming they believe that
00:40:29.740 the,
00:40:29.960 a lot of people in this movie believe that
00:40:32.980 the vaccination was always fake and that
00:40:37.600 and that the leaders took a saline solution.
00:40:41.660 Now you're aware that there are some people,
00:40:47.780 Mike Cernovich would be one,
00:40:49.800 who would think that's batshit crazy,
00:40:51.420 right?
00:40:55.720 I'm going to say both movies can live and,
00:40:58.100 and probably will live forever.
00:40:59.740 So I'm not even going to tell you what's true or
00:41:01.840 false because I haven't done too well on that,
00:41:04.880 but kind of interesting,
00:41:07.900 kind of interesting.
00:41:08.580 you you've gone so far that you believe the
00:41:11.720 whole thing was made up.
00:41:14.820 Now,
00:41:15.460 could there be anything that is easier to
00:41:18.460 prove or disprove than that statement?
00:41:21.660 What,
00:41:22.100 what could be easier to prove with science and
00:41:25.920 rational thought than whether people were,
00:41:28.560 uh,
00:41:29.080 protected by the vaccination,
00:41:30.960 so-called vaccination,
00:41:32.460 or whether they were harmed by them?
00:41:35.420 Don't you think that would be the easiest thing in
00:41:37.300 the world to know?
00:41:38.580 But it doesn't work.
00:41:42.980 In our world,
00:41:44.000 it wouldn't matter how credible somebody was,
00:41:47.600 or how much research they did,
00:41:49.940 or if it were a randomized control trial,
00:41:52.320 there's nothing that's going to change your mind.
00:41:54.780 Am I right?
00:41:55.720 It wouldn't matter what kind of evidence you saw at this point.
00:41:59.500 You just figured the evidence was faked.
00:42:02.300 You might be right.
00:42:03.940 Might be right.
00:42:04.500 What was it?
00:42:06.500 Oh,
00:42:07.460 this just made me think of the Epstein situation.
00:42:11.200 Did you see,
00:42:11.880 uh,
00:42:12.220 Tucker Carlson's,
00:42:13.420 uh,
00:42:14.960 episode about the Epstein death?
00:42:18.000 It was really kind of brilliant.
00:42:20.260 You know,
00:42:20.540 I say this again.
00:42:21.400 I don't,
00:42:21.880 I don't agree with Tucker all the time.
00:42:26.340 I'm maybe,
00:42:27.060 I don't know,
00:42:28.360 70 or 80% I agree with him.
00:42:31.740 Uh,
00:42:32.620 but his Epstein take,
00:42:35.640 but,
00:42:35.900 and let me say this,
00:42:36.580 even when I don't agree with him,
00:42:37.880 he's always brilliant.
00:42:39.520 Like his presentation,
00:42:41.180 the topics he picks,
00:42:42.700 just the skill he puts into it.
00:42:44.380 It's just incredible.
00:42:46.300 He's just the best,
00:42:48.020 in my opinion,
00:42:48.960 he's the best person working at that,
00:42:52.420 you know,
00:42:52.760 doing the,
00:42:53.480 the one person opinion thing.
00:42:56.220 Um,
00:42:57.660 but when he talks about Epstein,
00:42:59.020 and he talks about the things we don't know,
00:43:01.900 and how much,
00:43:02.680 uh,
00:43:03.780 Bill Barr knew,
00:43:05.540 here's something that I always wondered about,
00:43:07.580 but he's the first person who mentioned it.
00:43:10.460 Now here's the mind blower.
00:43:13.060 Nobody's ever told you this before.
00:43:15.260 Are you ready?
00:43:16.160 I remember Bill Barr saying,
00:43:18.240 he knew it must be suicide,
00:43:19.800 because he watched the entire video,
00:43:22.600 uh,
00:43:23.200 of the entrance to the area,
00:43:26.080 the general area,
00:43:27.040 not the entrance to the cell,
00:43:28.860 but the entrance to the general area,
00:43:31.540 where,
00:43:32.140 uh,
00:43:33.160 Epstein was kept.
00:43:34.840 And therefore,
00:43:35.620 since nobody entered,
00:43:36.700 the general area,
00:43:39.080 he had to have done it himself.
00:43:42.540 And I always said to myself,
00:43:45.020 well,
00:43:46.160 weren't there other people in the general area?
00:43:49.000 Why are you calling it the general area,
00:43:51.360 unless other people were there?
00:43:54.120 Otherwise,
00:43:54.680 that would be his cell.
00:43:56.420 And when I heard it,
00:43:57.260 I kept waiting for somebody to describe,
00:43:59.860 you know,
00:44:00.260 the cell block,
00:44:01.180 or the area in which he was in,
00:44:02.620 so that I would know everybody was definitely locked,
00:44:06.060 locked in their cells,
00:44:07.680 and there were no guards wandering there either.
00:44:10.760 And then,
00:44:11.500 then I'd know that it made sense that you saw that video.
00:44:14.960 But instead,
00:44:16.720 the most likely people who killed Epstein,
00:44:19.720 if he were,
00:44:20.360 if he were murdered,
00:44:21.460 the most likely people are the prisoners who were right next to him,
00:44:25.060 who were told may have had full access to each other,
00:44:30.320 it's entirely possible that within their cell block,
00:44:33.340 for at least some periods of time,
00:44:35.280 all of their cells are open.
00:44:37.920 And they can hang out with each other in the center areas.
00:44:42.160 Now,
00:44:43.300 Bill Barr
00:44:45.980 never spoke to the possibility,
00:44:49.720 the possibility,
00:44:52.200 that somebody who was already there killed him,
00:44:54.780 even though those were the most likely people to do it,
00:44:57.960 because that's where you put people who kill people.
00:45:00.700 You put them in that area,
00:45:02.800 right?
00:45:03.040 You put them with the other worst people.
00:45:06.320 The worst people are all going to be at the same place.
00:45:10.540 Now,
00:45:11.300 what can you conclude by the fact that Bill Barr
00:45:13.960 didn't even mention
00:45:15.100 the most important thing you'd want to know?
00:45:18.260 It's the most important thing.
00:45:19.960 Who was there?
00:45:21.340 And we know he lied about it.
00:45:23.680 Now,
00:45:24.140 he didn't lie in the sense that
00:45:25.460 I'm sure he did look at the video
00:45:27.520 and nobody was coming or going.
00:45:29.500 But it is a lie by
00:45:30.920 what kind?
00:45:33.040 What kind of lie is it?
00:45:35.040 Is it a lie where he added characters?
00:45:38.420 Did he?
00:45:38.880 Yes.
00:45:39.500 It's a lie by omission,
00:45:40.640 isn't it?
00:45:41.860 Now,
00:45:42.460 here's your homework.
00:45:44.620 Go find any other situation
00:45:46.340 in which Barr is known to have lied by omission.
00:45:50.260 I'll bet you'll find it.
00:45:52.620 I'll bet you'll find it.
00:45:53.740 Because people lie the same way.
00:45:58.240 Right?
00:45:58.460 The people who think
00:45:59.220 they're not such a big liar
00:46:00.560 will lie by omission.
00:46:02.300 It's like,
00:46:02.560 well,
00:46:02.880 I didn't add anything.
00:46:04.480 I just didn't mention the things
00:46:05.920 you might be interested in.
00:46:08.480 Yeah.
00:46:10.800 So,
00:46:11.620 I'm going to go with
00:46:13.760 Tucker's implication,
00:46:15.220 which is
00:46:17.320 the way it was handled
00:46:18.480 signals clearly
00:46:19.660 that the government
00:46:20.440 knows who killed him
00:46:21.380 and was in on it.
00:46:24.040 That the deep state
00:46:25.020 was in on it.
00:46:26.560 I would say
00:46:27.120 that's confirmed.
00:46:29.320 It's confirmed by omission.
00:46:31.740 So,
00:46:32.040 when they leave out
00:46:32.640 the most obvious question
00:46:34.200 in the story,
00:46:35.100 the most obvious question,
00:46:36.680 who else was in the cells nearby
00:46:38.340 and were the doors open?
00:46:41.060 Most obvious question.
00:46:42.920 If they leave that out,
00:46:43.780 and by the way,
00:46:44.260 there were a whole bunch
00:46:44.880 of other things
00:46:46.460 like about the,
00:46:47.860 there were some
00:46:48.580 real irregularities
00:46:50.060 with the autopsy
00:46:52.100 that looked obviously
00:46:53.620 like they were hiding something.
00:46:55.460 If the reporting is correct.
00:46:58.380 So,
00:46:58.880 I'm going to go
00:47:00.140 fully on the side
00:47:01.960 that Epstein was killed
00:47:03.500 by the government
00:47:04.220 of the United States.
00:47:07.220 Or,
00:47:07.700 with,
00:47:08.560 not by the government,
00:47:10.020 but at least with the,
00:47:13.060 let's say,
00:47:14.060 with the collusion
00:47:15.040 of the United States.
00:47:17.280 Now,
00:47:18.120 I hate to,
00:47:19.740 you know,
00:47:20.240 accuse somebody
00:47:21.000 of a crime in public.
00:47:22.400 So,
00:47:22.700 let me just put it this way.
00:47:24.160 The only smart interpretation
00:47:25.880 is that Bill Barr
00:47:27.000 is part of the deep state
00:47:28.700 and that he's part
00:47:30.360 of the cover-up
00:47:31.020 and that the United States
00:47:32.140 is either involved
00:47:33.140 in helping it
00:47:34.920 or covering it up.
00:47:36.120 I would consider that
00:47:39.380 as close to a fact
00:47:41.380 as you could,
00:47:42.280 as you could make it.
00:47:44.480 Right?
00:47:44.820 Nothing's 100%.
00:47:45.900 If you could all agree
00:47:47.760 that nothing is 100%,
00:47:49.200 this is as close
00:47:50.580 as you can get to 100%.
00:47:51.860 I would say
00:47:52.820 I have certain knowledge now
00:47:54.380 that Bill Barr
00:47:55.800 was part of a cover-up
00:47:56.920 of the Epstein thing
00:47:58.320 based on what he didn't tell us.
00:48:00.340 Now,
00:48:00.700 he could change that tomorrow,
00:48:01.960 right?
00:48:03.140 Tomorrow,
00:48:03.640 he could say,
00:48:04.060 whoa, whoa, whoa,
00:48:04.500 I didn't mention that
00:48:05.320 but now that you mention it,
00:48:08.160 we do have information
00:48:09.460 about who was in the cells
00:48:10.520 and we know for sure
00:48:11.780 that they didn't get out.
00:48:13.880 I'd listen to that.
00:48:15.480 I would listen to that
00:48:16.320 for sure.
00:48:18.260 But as long as
00:48:19.720 he's not telling us that,
00:48:20.960 you have every right,
00:48:22.820 in fact,
00:48:23.220 responsibility,
00:48:24.100 I would say.
00:48:24.960 As a citizen,
00:48:25.920 you have a responsibility
00:48:26.900 to assume that they did it.
00:48:29.340 Do you know why?
00:48:30.840 Because your government
00:48:31.680 is guilty
00:48:34.040 until proven innocent.
00:48:36.520 And how hard is it
00:48:37.540 for a government
00:48:38.020 to prove it's innocent?
00:48:39.600 Not really hard.
00:48:41.080 All they'd have to do
00:48:41.860 is give you
00:48:42.460 some little more information
00:48:44.440 that would not be private
00:48:46.280 about what was going on
00:48:48.180 in the jail.
00:48:49.420 That's all.
00:48:50.420 Very easy.
00:48:51.600 Just tell us more
00:48:52.440 about what you know
00:48:53.160 about the people
00:48:53.740 in the little block.
00:48:54.700 That's all.
00:48:59.920 So, you know,
00:49:01.980 at the time,
00:49:03.500 so here's the only thing
00:49:04.520 that's new.
00:49:05.380 At the time,
00:49:07.100 it was obvious to me
00:49:08.240 that something was left out.
00:49:10.100 You know,
00:49:10.340 what was happening locally there.
00:49:12.260 It was obvious.
00:49:13.580 But I didn't know
00:49:14.620 that we did know,
00:49:16.100 and I guess
00:49:16.540 Tucker Carlson's show
00:49:18.420 did some research,
00:49:19.560 to find out
00:49:20.240 what it looked like,
00:49:21.280 that there were,
00:49:21.920 in fact,
00:49:22.180 other cells,
00:49:23.260 and that they might
00:49:24.180 sometimes have the doors open.
00:49:26.940 That's the new information.
00:49:29.920 What I didn't know before,
00:49:31.240 somebody said that
00:49:31.900 I'm two years behind Joe Rogan.
00:49:34.320 Here's the knowledge
00:49:35.220 that I didn't know before.
00:49:37.820 I didn't know
00:49:38.820 if seeing the larger entrance
00:49:41.040 would, in fact,
00:49:42.500 tell you something
00:49:43.400 about what happened
00:49:45.260 in one cell.
00:49:47.220 Because Bill Barr
00:49:48.120 was letting us believe
00:49:49.400 that looking at this one entrance
00:49:51.700 would, in fact,
00:49:52.700 tell you all you needed to know.
00:49:54.720 But as soon as Tucker
00:49:55.640 did the extra work
00:49:56.620 to show what it looked like
00:49:57.700 in there,
00:49:58.500 it's clear that
00:49:59.220 that was a misdirection.
00:50:01.940 So, based on that alone,
00:50:04.800 boop.
00:50:05.780 I'm going from,
00:50:07.380 well,
00:50:08.520 and by the way,
00:50:09.700 I've always heard
00:50:10.680 the theory that he was killed
00:50:11.880 and it always sounded,
00:50:13.320 the theory that he was murdered
00:50:14.700 always sounded
00:50:16.360 more reasonable
00:50:17.140 after some initial,
00:50:19.340 initial nonsense.
00:50:22.220 I don't know
00:50:22.820 if I've ever said it before.
00:50:23.920 Have I?
00:50:24.240 Have I ever said it
00:50:25.900 before directly?
00:50:26.500 Because I usually argue
00:50:28.780 the weak,
00:50:29.440 I usually argue
00:50:30.460 the weak side
00:50:31.340 of every argument.
00:50:33.720 And the weak side
00:50:34.720 was that it really was
00:50:35.900 suicide.
00:50:38.500 Right?
00:50:39.060 That was the weak side.
00:50:39.960 So I did argue
00:50:40.720 the weak side,
00:50:41.720 but I don't think
00:50:42.780 I ever said
00:50:43.380 directly that,
00:50:45.720 and I would have said,
00:50:47.460 until yesterday,
00:50:48.500 I would have said
00:50:49.340 80% chance of murder
00:50:52.400 or 20% chance of suicide.
00:50:53.860 until yesterday.
00:50:56.460 So Tucker pushed me
00:50:57.580 to 99% murder.
00:51:01.280 99%.
00:51:01.800 Who?
00:51:03.780 I think the answer
00:51:05.220 of who is obvious.
00:51:07.820 Let's see if you know.
00:51:09.280 The answer to who
00:51:10.300 is obvious.
00:51:11.380 Go.
00:51:11.480 Go.
00:51:18.020 All right.
00:51:19.920 I'm seeing lots of answers.
00:51:20.940 You know,
00:51:21.040 the deep state,
00:51:22.440 a prisoner,
00:51:23.160 CIA,
00:51:25.240 Bill Gates,
00:51:26.460 blah, blah, blah.
00:51:27.300 All right.
00:51:27.840 Here's the obvious answer.
00:51:30.220 You all have
00:51:30.940 different answers,
00:51:32.080 and now watch me
00:51:33.240 make you all agree
00:51:34.340 with my answer.
00:51:35.320 Do you think
00:51:35.680 I can do it?
00:51:37.340 Watch.
00:51:37.800 Every one of you
00:51:38.400 is going to agree
00:51:38.960 with my answer.
00:51:40.820 This is who did it.
00:51:43.000 Everyone.
00:51:44.860 Everyone in power.
00:51:46.800 Everyone.
00:51:48.140 Right?
00:51:48.700 So you're saying,
00:51:49.540 well,
00:51:49.720 was it,
00:51:50.360 you know,
00:51:50.820 this foreign country?
00:51:51.760 Was it Great Britain?
00:51:52.900 Was it Israel?
00:51:53.720 Was it the United States?
00:51:54.620 The answer is yes.
00:51:56.560 Yes, it was.
00:51:57.980 It was all of them.
00:52:00.060 Because they all had risk.
00:52:02.200 They all had risk.
00:52:04.060 So, you know,
00:52:05.020 maybe one of them
00:52:05.940 did more,
00:52:07.120 but they're all in on it.
00:52:08.880 You know,
00:52:09.200 I think that's clear.
00:52:11.380 Pretty clear.
00:52:13.500 All right.
00:52:15.280 So that was fun.
00:52:16.200 Trump's back on social media,
00:52:21.380 or at least he's allowed.
00:52:22.740 He's not back on.
00:52:23.800 So as you know,
00:52:24.540 he's already allowed
00:52:25.320 back on Twitter,
00:52:26.140 and now Facebook
00:52:26.960 and Instagram
00:52:28.240 are going to allow him
00:52:29.580 as well.
00:52:31.160 Now,
00:52:31.720 there's no indication
00:52:32.640 he's back,
00:52:33.380 but one assumes
00:52:34.180 that he would be
00:52:34.740 if he ran.
00:52:35.780 Now,
00:52:36.160 this is part
00:52:36.760 of a larger trend
00:52:38.560 which goes like this.
00:52:43.160 Trump's path
00:52:44.300 to the White House
00:52:45.180 is really clean
00:52:47.140 right now.
00:52:49.040 There's nothing
00:52:49.720 in his way,
00:52:50.320 is there?
00:52:51.380 Because you're going
00:52:52.040 to say,
00:52:52.520 but Scott,
00:52:53.620 January 6th.
00:52:55.260 No,
00:52:55.740 he's going to turn
00:52:56.400 that to his advantage.
00:52:58.400 You don't think
00:52:59.160 he can turn January 6th
00:53:00.400 into a political advantage?
00:53:02.700 I think he can.
00:53:04.560 I think he can totally.
00:53:06.640 Yeah.
00:53:07.180 All he has to do
00:53:07.920 is convince you
00:53:08.540 that your government
00:53:09.160 is locking people up
00:53:10.200 for political speech,
00:53:11.700 which is exactly
00:53:13.220 what happened.
00:53:14.300 in my opinion.
00:53:16.660 Yeah,
00:53:17.060 he could totally sell that.
00:53:18.860 How about,
00:53:20.920 you know,
00:53:21.240 I told you on immigration,
00:53:22.640 if he frames it better,
00:53:24.560 he can own that.
00:53:26.020 Now he's saying
00:53:26.760 that he could end
00:53:28.080 the war in Ukraine.
00:53:29.900 Yeah,
00:53:30.100 he goes,
00:53:30.740 end this crazy war now.
00:53:32.340 It's so easy to do.
00:53:34.120 Do you think
00:53:34.560 that Trump
00:53:34.980 could end the war
00:53:35.720 in Ukraine?
00:53:38.660 I think he could.
00:53:40.520 I think he could.
00:53:41.740 Because Putin
00:53:42.440 would actually deal
00:53:43.180 with him.
00:53:44.300 Am I right?
00:53:46.140 Yeah.
00:53:47.020 He's basically
00:53:47.920 only Nixon
00:53:48.900 can go to China.
00:53:51.540 He's kind of,
00:53:52.540 that's a terrible analogy
00:53:53.800 because it's almost
00:53:54.620 backwards from this.
00:53:56.080 But,
00:53:57.640 he's the only one
00:53:59.040 that I could even
00:54:00.720 imagine
00:54:01.380 Putin would do
00:54:03.260 a deal with.
00:54:05.160 I can't imagine
00:54:06.100 him doing it
00:54:06.660 with anybody else.
00:54:07.320 Do you think
00:54:07.880 Putin's going to
00:54:08.520 do a deal
00:54:09.400 with Biden?
00:54:09.900 I don't think so.
00:54:13.960 Yeah.
00:54:14.740 So,
00:54:15.760 you know,
00:54:16.120 it's a gutsy claim.
00:54:18.220 And what would
00:54:18.880 it look like?
00:54:20.600 See,
00:54:21.020 I think if
00:54:21.520 Trump did a deal,
00:54:23.400 he would do
00:54:23.860 exactly what
00:54:24.560 I suggested.
00:54:25.940 He would bring
00:54:26.720 extra elements
00:54:27.780 into it
00:54:28.280 that are not
00:54:28.740 strictly about the war.
00:54:30.280 He'd make a more,
00:54:31.240 you know,
00:54:31.780 omnibus deal
00:54:32.740 that just covers
00:54:33.980 all of our complaints
00:54:35.060 so that Russia 0.80
00:54:36.600 can make money
00:54:37.380 but nobody
00:54:40.000 will be beholden
00:54:41.020 to their energy.
00:54:42.020 They'll have options.
00:54:43.560 And that
00:54:44.460 Putin can go off
00:54:45.520 and, you know,
00:54:46.700 be happy
00:54:47.620 and have some kind
00:54:48.440 of a win.
00:54:50.260 I think Trump
00:54:51.360 could make that happen.
00:54:52.740 But everybody
00:54:53.420 would be unhappy
00:54:54.180 about it,
00:54:54.620 I think.
00:54:56.100 You know,
00:54:56.780 everybody would be unhappy.
00:54:58.040 But that's how
00:54:58.460 peace works.
00:55:01.220 Well,
00:55:01.940 Biden now,
00:55:03.420 of course,
00:55:03.780 is up the end
00:55:05.040 by approving
00:55:06.280 these Abrams tanks
00:55:07.800 which are
00:55:08.820 offensive vehicles
00:55:09.880 which makes
00:55:11.000 Russia say,
00:55:12.400 OK,
00:55:12.600 now it's just a war
00:55:13.540 with the United States
00:55:14.680 and us
00:55:15.140 because the Abrams tanks
00:55:16.740 are like tipping
00:55:17.660 the scales.
00:55:18.960 Now,
00:55:19.280 Biden
00:55:19.620 is trying to soften
00:55:22.000 that by saying,
00:55:22.600 oh,
00:55:23.020 we're never going to,
00:55:24.440 these tanks
00:55:25.020 will not be used
00:55:25.920 to invade
00:55:26.920 the territory
00:55:27.500 of Russia.
00:55:28.820 No,
00:55:29.120 no,
00:55:29.460 defensive.
00:55:30.440 We're not going
00:55:31.060 to use offensive weapons
00:55:32.380 against the territory
00:55:33.700 of Russia.
00:55:34.240 And then what
00:55:35.360 does Russia
00:55:35.800 say to that?
00:55:37.560 The whole dispute
00:55:38.760 here is what
00:55:39.560 is part of Russia.
00:55:41.620 That's the whole
00:55:42.320 point of the dispute
00:55:43.360 is which part
00:55:44.640 is Russia
00:55:45.060 and which is not.
00:55:46.320 And then Biden
00:55:46.880 says,
00:55:47.280 oh,
00:55:47.380 I'm not going to use
00:55:47.960 the tanks
00:55:48.440 in Russia.
00:55:50.560 No,
00:55:51.280 I won't use them
00:55:52.040 in Russia.
00:55:55.200 Guess what
00:55:55.840 we call Crimea?
00:55:57.880 Not Russia. 0.69
00:56:00.040 Don't worry.
00:56:00.780 Just because you
00:56:02.300 think it's part
00:56:02.860 of Russia,
00:56:03.480 we don't.
00:56:04.780 So when we
00:56:05.480 invade those 0.94
00:56:06.120 parts of Russia
00:56:06.820 that we say
00:56:08.300 are not part
00:56:08.800 of Russia,
00:56:09.600 but you say
00:56:10.520 are,
00:56:11.320 don't blame us
00:56:12.480 for invading
00:56:13.000 Russia because 0.98
00:56:13.880 we say that's
00:56:14.440 not Russia.
00:56:15.960 That's what
00:56:16.640 Biden is actually
00:56:17.440 selling.
00:56:19.220 Does that feel
00:56:20.000 safe to you?
00:56:21.740 It doesn't feel
00:56:22.760 safe.
00:56:24.020 It feels exactly
00:56:25.120 like we're using
00:56:25.900 our tanks to
00:56:26.500 invade Russia, 1.00
00:56:27.760 according to Putin.
00:56:29.180 However,
00:56:29.960 does it mean
00:56:30.440 we shouldn't do it?
00:56:32.560 I don't think so.
00:56:34.280 I think we're
00:56:34.980 at a point in the war,
00:56:36.820 you know,
00:56:37.020 maybe we shouldn't
00:56:37.700 have gotten here,
00:56:38.660 but I don't think
00:56:39.540 escalating is worse
00:56:40.780 because it doesn't
00:56:43.880 look like there's
00:56:44.420 any level of
00:56:45.120 escalating that's
00:56:45.960 going to make
00:56:46.280 any difference.
00:56:48.440 It looks like
00:56:49.320 escalating might
00:56:50.020 make a difference,
00:56:50.840 you know,
00:56:51.080 on the ground,
00:56:52.440 but I don't think
00:56:53.060 it's going to make
00:56:53.600 Russia nuke us. 0.50
00:56:55.700 It looks like
00:56:56.420 that risk is
00:56:56.960 almost nothing.
00:56:58.640 And it looks
00:56:59.600 like the strategy
00:57:01.320 of the Biden
00:57:01.840 administration is
00:57:02.820 to just forever
00:57:03.820 grind on Russia 0.71
00:57:04.880 and use this
00:57:06.780 as an excuse
00:57:07.480 as long as we
00:57:08.120 can.
00:57:08.960 If the Biden
00:57:10.220 administration
00:57:10.820 didn't have
00:57:12.100 Ukraine as
00:57:13.920 their reason
00:57:14.400 for grinding
00:57:15.400 on Russia,
00:57:16.200 sanctions and
00:57:16.940 everything else,
00:57:17.800 they would invent
00:57:18.680 a different reason
00:57:19.400 because it looks
00:57:20.760 like they just
00:57:21.260 want to degrade
00:57:21.840 Russia no matter 1.00
00:57:22.920 what.
00:57:23.300 The Democrats
00:57:23.820 have been trying
00:57:24.260 to do that
00:57:24.680 forever.
00:57:26.020 Am I right?
00:57:26.520 Ever since
00:57:27.160 Hillary Clinton,
00:57:29.180 the Democrats
00:57:30.340 have been just
00:57:31.180 crazy about
00:57:32.100 trying to
00:57:33.100 suppress Putin.
00:57:35.300 So I don't
00:57:36.180 believe they
00:57:36.620 want to end
00:57:37.220 the war.
00:57:38.280 I think the
00:57:39.100 Democrats want 0.51
00:57:39.820 a perpetual
00:57:40.480 reason to
00:57:42.100 send money
00:57:43.120 into a money
00:57:44.060 laundering zone.
00:57:46.860 Surprise.
00:57:47.380 At the same
00:57:49.080 time, they
00:57:49.820 just want to
00:57:50.600 grind on him
00:57:51.260 and keep
00:57:52.280 him suppressed.
00:57:54.500 And it
00:57:54.800 might not
00:57:55.120 even be the
00:57:55.620 worst strategy
00:57:56.880 in the world.
00:57:57.620 I'm not even
00:57:58.300 opposed to it.
00:58:00.180 I don't know
00:58:00.800 if it'll work.
00:58:01.700 I'm not sure
00:58:02.320 I would have
00:58:02.660 done it.
00:58:03.860 But I don't
00:58:04.400 think you could
00:58:04.860 say at this
00:58:05.300 point it's not
00:58:06.080 going to work.
00:58:07.160 It might be
00:58:07.780 the cheapest
00:58:08.440 geopolitical
00:58:11.360 rearrangement we've
00:58:12.540 ever funded.
00:58:14.040 It might be.
00:58:14.820 Or it could be
00:58:15.520 World War III.
00:58:16.560 Two possibilities.
00:58:20.660 All right.
00:58:24.040 I would like
00:58:24.740 to offer a
00:58:25.300 reframe for
00:58:26.060 ending drug
00:58:28.080 overdoses.
00:58:30.320 And I tried
00:58:31.820 this out with
00:58:32.340 just my local
00:58:33.080 subscribers and
00:58:34.640 they liked it.
00:58:35.360 So they said,
00:58:36.120 yeah, try that
00:58:36.740 in public.
00:58:37.820 And it goes
00:58:38.220 like this.
00:58:39.800 Let's take
00:58:40.400 fentanyl overdose
00:58:41.500 deaths.
00:58:42.240 So we're trying
00:58:42.720 to fix that
00:58:43.300 with a reframe.
00:58:44.760 In other words,
00:58:45.400 looking at it
00:58:46.200 a different
00:58:46.680 way to try
00:58:48.140 to open up
00:58:48.600 some options.
00:58:49.620 If you look
00:58:50.280 at it as a
00:58:50.820 medical problem,
00:58:52.100 we've tried
00:58:53.300 everything we
00:58:53.860 can try.
00:58:54.680 If you look
00:58:55.240 at it as a
00:58:56.240 legal problem,
00:58:58.200 well, you
00:58:59.480 know, the
00:59:00.060 war on drugs
00:59:00.660 has never
00:59:01.040 worked from
00:59:01.500 a legal
00:59:01.860 perspective.
00:59:03.040 So the two
00:59:03.840 ways that we
00:59:04.340 look at it,
00:59:04.940 it's medical
00:59:05.520 legal or
00:59:06.800 it's legal
00:59:08.420 don't really
00:59:09.700 give us
00:59:10.000 options for
00:59:10.520 doing anything
00:59:11.100 or we
00:59:11.600 would have
00:59:11.880 done it
00:59:12.160 by now.
00:59:18.800 Let's get
00:59:19.400 off the
00:59:20.180 Epstein thing.
00:59:21.260 I'm seeing
00:59:21.480 some Epstein
00:59:22.020 comments.
00:59:23.260 Yeah,
00:59:23.920 never mind.
00:59:25.540 It's not worth
00:59:26.240 talking about.
00:59:27.200 So the idea
00:59:28.260 is this.
00:59:28.940 If we found
00:59:29.700 another way to
00:59:30.700 frame it,
00:59:32.140 could we have
00:59:33.000 more options?
00:59:36.340 Somebody says
00:59:36.880 it's a supply
00:59:37.440 problem, but
00:59:38.120 we'll never
00:59:38.500 be able to
00:59:38.880 end the
00:59:39.200 supply.
00:59:41.360 And then
00:59:44.080 also willpower.
00:59:45.660 Some people
00:59:46.160 say it's a
00:59:46.600 freedom and
00:59:47.140 willpower thing.
00:59:48.360 You've got to
00:59:48.720 get those
00:59:49.060 people to
00:59:49.520 just use
00:59:50.640 their willpower
00:59:52.680 to stop doing
00:59:53.260 it.
00:59:54.120 Some say it's
00:59:54.800 a poison
00:59:55.200 problem or
00:59:56.540 a war
00:59:56.880 problem.
00:59:57.840 But so far
00:59:58.480 all of those
00:59:59.080 frames have
00:59:59.660 given us
01:00:00.060 nothing.
01:00:00.440 So here's
01:00:00.780 the new
01:00:01.100 frame I'm
01:00:01.800 going to
01:00:02.000 suggest.
01:00:03.000 What if
01:00:03.340 we treat
01:00:03.680 it as
01:00:03.920 an
01:00:04.080 information
01:00:04.560 problem?
01:00:06.920 And here's
01:00:07.520 what I mean
01:00:07.880 by that.
01:00:08.960 The reason
01:00:09.600 people die
01:00:10.120 from fentanyl
01:00:10.760 is they
01:00:11.080 don't know
01:00:11.540 what it
01:00:11.860 is they
01:00:12.140 put in
01:00:12.440 their body.
01:00:13.060 They think
01:00:13.420 it's
01:00:13.580 something
01:00:13.820 else or
01:00:14.940 they don't
01:00:15.260 know how
01:00:15.520 much they
01:00:15.860 took.
01:00:17.620 If you
01:00:18.220 could solve
01:00:18.760 for that,
01:00:20.580 just
01:00:20.880 information,
01:00:22.820 the very
01:00:23.700 few fentanyl
01:00:24.620 users would
01:00:26.600 intentionally
01:00:27.320 overdose.
01:00:29.060 And so
01:00:29.320 if they knew
01:00:29.780 exactly what
01:00:30.400 they were
01:00:30.560 getting,
01:00:31.340 and it was
01:00:31.720 definitely
01:00:32.140 fentanyl,
01:00:33.000 it was
01:00:33.500 definitely
01:00:34.020 a certain
01:00:34.460 amount,
01:00:35.480 and they
01:00:35.880 had learned
01:00:36.440 what they
01:00:37.280 could handle,
01:00:38.720 would it
01:00:39.160 reduce the
01:00:39.700 overdoses
01:00:40.200 without changing
01:00:41.340 addiction?
01:00:42.320 The same
01:00:42.760 level of
01:00:43.200 addiction.
01:00:44.340 But could
01:00:44.760 you change
01:00:46.020 the information
01:00:46.980 so that when
01:00:48.320 somebody had a
01:00:48.920 pill in their
01:00:49.380 hand, they
01:00:50.480 would know for
01:00:51.080 sure what it
01:00:51.600 was?
01:00:51.920 drugs.
01:00:53.660 Now,
01:00:54.500 here's the
01:00:56.380 thing.
01:00:57.800 If you
01:00:58.440 knew that,
01:01:00.680 and there
01:01:01.020 might be a
01:01:01.440 variety of
01:01:01.840 ways to do
01:01:02.260 it,
01:01:02.660 wouldn't that
01:01:03.140 open up other
01:01:03.800 options?
01:01:05.180 It doesn't
01:01:05.780 solve it because
01:01:06.460 it doesn't get
01:01:07.120 to the
01:01:07.440 addiction
01:01:07.720 itself.
01:01:08.860 But it
01:01:09.220 would solve
01:01:09.840 maybe immediately
01:01:10.640 the problem
01:01:12.200 of,
01:01:14.720 well, here's
01:01:15.280 another
01:01:15.500 information.
01:01:15.960 You want
01:01:16.820 to know
01:01:17.060 exactly what's
01:01:17.840 in each
01:01:18.420 pill or
01:01:19.880 line.
01:01:21.020 You want
01:01:21.440 to know
01:01:21.600 what's in
01:01:21.860 it.
01:01:22.600 And,
01:01:24.640 yeah, you
01:01:27.220 want to know
01:01:27.460 what's in
01:01:27.760 each pill,
01:01:28.780 but you also
01:01:29.200 want to know
01:01:29.700 where the
01:01:30.080 closest Narcan
01:01:30.960 is, the
01:01:32.200 thing that
01:01:33.060 saves somebody
01:01:33.980 if they're
01:01:34.340 OD.
01:01:35.240 So you can
01:01:35.880 buy this
01:01:36.280 product, but
01:01:37.560 take my
01:01:38.100 neighborhood, for
01:01:38.640 example.
01:01:39.560 If one of my
01:01:40.340 neighbors, you
01:01:41.400 know, let's
01:01:41.800 say their kids
01:01:42.400 were having a
01:01:42.920 party and
01:01:43.380 somebody started
01:01:44.620 OD,
01:01:45.960 would my
01:01:47.020 neighbors know
01:01:47.860 which neighbor
01:01:48.640 has Narcan
01:01:49.380 that they
01:01:50.500 could borrow?
01:01:51.560 They wouldn't.
01:01:52.740 They wouldn't.
01:01:53.820 But suppose
01:01:54.300 they did.
01:01:55.300 Suppose you
01:01:55.860 solved for
01:01:56.560 where's the
01:01:57.040 closest Narcan
01:01:58.020 that I can
01:01:59.420 get to.
01:02:01.020 Suppose you
01:02:01.600 knew, and
01:02:02.160 I'll just put
01:02:02.680 this out,
01:02:03.140 suppose you
01:02:03.720 knew that
01:02:04.040 every Starbucks
01:02:04.880 had one.
01:02:05.660 Well, they're
01:02:06.000 not open at
01:02:06.540 night, so that
01:02:07.120 doesn't work.
01:02:08.020 Suppose you
01:02:08.460 knew that
01:02:08.900 every Uber
01:02:10.740 driver had
01:02:11.400 one.
01:02:13.060 They don't.
01:02:14.180 Some do.
01:02:14.940 By the way,
01:02:15.280 some Uber
01:02:15.760 drivers do
01:02:16.380 carry Narcan.
01:02:17.560 I talked
01:02:18.640 to one the
01:02:19.000 other day.
01:02:20.380 But what
01:02:20.960 if you knew
01:02:21.580 where the
01:02:22.260 closest Narcan
01:02:23.080 was?
01:02:24.180 You just
01:02:24.520 open up an
01:02:25.000 app, go,
01:02:25.960 shit, shit,
01:02:26.360 shit, somebody's 0.80
01:02:27.460 ODing.
01:02:28.280 Like, oh, okay,
01:02:29.220 the neighbor has
01:02:29.820 one, and also
01:02:30.680 there's an Uber.
01:02:31.900 So you call the
01:02:32.560 Uber right away,
01:02:33.520 emergency, and
01:02:35.080 the Uber drops
01:02:35.780 everything and
01:02:36.480 starts driving
01:02:37.160 over with the
01:02:37.620 Narcan.
01:02:38.380 But also, you
01:02:39.600 run over to the
01:02:40.260 neighbor, knock, 0.61
01:02:40.840 knock, knock,
01:02:41.180 knock, and you
01:02:41.940 wake them up,
01:02:42.500 Narcan, can we
01:02:43.780 borrow your Narcan?
01:02:44.480 Of course.
01:02:46.080 All right.
01:02:46.460 How many people
01:02:47.200 would you save if
01:02:48.280 you knew exactly
01:02:48.960 where the closest
01:02:49.680 Narcan was, and
01:02:51.920 the people who
01:02:52.400 took the drugs
01:02:53.040 knew exactly what
01:02:53.820 they're taking?
01:02:55.180 Now, I don't
01:02:55.940 know the way to
01:02:58.180 solve for that
01:02:59.300 information, but
01:03:00.700 doesn't it seem
01:03:01.440 solvable?
01:03:03.100 Does that not
01:03:03.980 seem solvable?
01:03:04.680 At the very least,
01:03:09.000 it opens up
01:03:09.740 options.
01:03:10.900 All right.
01:03:11.200 Let me give you
01:03:11.920 a bad version
01:03:13.040 of solving it.
01:03:14.620 Now, the bad
01:03:15.420 version is for
01:03:16.380 brainstorming purposes,
01:03:18.000 and it's not
01:03:18.720 very too far from
01:03:19.800 what Pfizer was
01:03:20.480 doing.
01:03:21.480 So I give you
01:03:22.260 the bad version,
01:03:23.120 and you find all
01:03:23.860 the holes in it,
01:03:25.040 but it might make
01:03:25.760 you think, oh,
01:03:26.440 wait, wait, your
01:03:26.920 version is bad, but
01:03:27.960 if you just tweaked
01:03:28.760 it this way, it
01:03:29.980 might work.
01:03:30.460 Here's the bad
01:03:31.340 version.
01:03:32.600 The government
01:03:33.160 provides free
01:03:34.640 fentanyl, free, but
01:03:38.160 it's so regulated
01:03:39.120 you know exactly
01:03:40.120 what this pill is
01:03:41.120 going to do.
01:03:42.120 Exactly.
01:03:43.780 And you have to
01:03:44.480 get an app, you
01:03:45.160 have to have a
01:03:45.600 doctor approve you
01:03:46.780 for this system,
01:03:48.480 and so it's
01:03:49.280 voluntary.
01:03:49.960 It wouldn't be
01:03:50.440 mandatory.
01:03:51.840 And if you got
01:03:52.580 the app, you
01:03:53.700 could use the
01:03:54.260 app to, let's
01:03:55.580 say, unlock one
01:03:57.580 pill per day or
01:03:59.140 however often
01:04:00.380 you and the
01:04:00.840 doctor decide.
01:04:02.480 And you can
01:04:04.020 guarantee that
01:04:04.780 you get something
01:04:05.900 safe, and you
01:04:08.420 can guarantee
01:04:09.360 that, let's say,
01:04:10.780 you've got an
01:04:11.340 RKN nearby.
01:04:13.000 So let's say the
01:04:13.640 doctor says, we're
01:04:14.880 going to put you
01:04:15.220 on this app.
01:04:16.260 The app will
01:04:17.140 help you track
01:04:17.960 what you took and
01:04:19.120 how you feel.
01:04:20.200 Maybe we'll be
01:04:20.880 checking your
01:04:21.340 vitals.
01:04:21.900 Maybe you have
01:04:22.280 to wear an
01:04:23.440 Apple watch so
01:04:25.300 that the app can
01:04:26.480 tell you if you're
01:04:27.200 going to OD.
01:04:28.260 By the way, would
01:04:28.960 this be possible?
01:04:29.700 Is there
01:04:30.340 anybody who
01:04:30.760 knows, could an
01:04:32.400 Apple watch, if
01:04:33.540 it had the
01:04:33.840 right app, could
01:04:35.240 it tell if you
01:04:35.800 were OD?
01:04:39.140 Could it
01:04:39.840 determine if,
01:04:42.120 couldn't tell if
01:04:42.680 you're OD?
01:04:44.060 I'm seeing a 0.98
01:04:44.860 yes and a no.
01:04:48.060 I see another
01:04:48.840 yes.
01:04:49.840 Do we know?
01:04:52.460 Low pulse.
01:04:53.400 oxygen.
01:04:54.400 So you'd see it
01:04:54.980 by the, you
01:04:55.940 should see a
01:04:56.840 major change and
01:04:58.360 a degradation in
01:04:59.460 the vitals, right?
01:05:01.060 Low oxygen.
01:05:03.480 Yeah.
01:05:03.880 So you could
01:05:04.560 imagine a system
01:05:06.200 that, again, this
01:05:08.500 is an information
01:05:09.180 problem, right?
01:05:10.020 If the information
01:05:11.140 of what your body
01:05:11.960 is doing was
01:05:14.280 transmitted to
01:05:16.120 somebody who
01:05:16.680 could call for
01:05:17.440 a Narcan, just
01:05:20.200 imagine it's
01:05:20.760 automated.
01:05:21.120 Imagine you've
01:05:22.180 got your watch
01:05:22.740 on and you've
01:05:23.980 registered, this
01:05:25.140 is the important
01:05:25.600 part, you've
01:05:26.440 registered as an
01:05:27.480 addict.
01:05:29.500 So when your
01:05:30.500 app says, uh-oh,
01:05:31.460 your pulse is
01:05:32.220 going way down, if
01:05:33.740 that's how you
01:05:34.280 identify it, then
01:05:36.620 just automatically
01:05:37.580 the Narcan starts
01:05:39.320 coming toward you.
01:05:40.660 So people just
01:05:41.320 get a boop, they 0.86
01:05:42.360 get a notification,
01:05:43.820 this address,
01:05:45.700 possible overdose.
01:05:47.540 And you just run
01:05:48.220 out the door with
01:05:48.800 your Narcan and
01:05:49.800 you go to the
01:05:50.220 neighbor's house
01:05:50.740 and you knock,
01:05:51.680 you say, all
01:05:52.360 right, I've got a
01:05:52.820 notice, there's
01:05:53.480 somebody here
01:05:54.000 nodding out.
01:05:55.140 And the people
01:05:55.780 at the party go,
01:05:56.740 I don't know, let
01:05:57.260 me check.
01:05:57.680 And they find
01:05:58.080 somebody in the
01:05:58.620 bedroom who's
01:05:59.620 nodding out.
01:06:01.880 Now, remember,
01:06:03.280 if you're
01:06:03.820 criticizing the
01:06:04.620 details of the
01:06:05.380 idea, that's
01:06:06.040 fine, because
01:06:07.060 this is
01:06:07.380 brainstorming.
01:06:08.260 The only thing
01:06:09.020 I'm trying to
01:06:09.500 sell you today is
01:06:11.200 that if you
01:06:11.580 framed it as an
01:06:12.400 information problem,
01:06:14.140 it might open
01:06:14.800 up options.
01:06:17.000 That's all.
01:06:17.560 And that,
01:06:20.300 ladies and 0.98
01:06:20.580 gentlemen, is
01:06:22.800 what I needed to
01:06:23.420 accomplish for
01:06:23.980 today.
01:06:26.500 They would sell
01:06:27.240 the watch to
01:06:27.800 buy drugs.
01:06:28.900 Yeah, they
01:06:29.180 would have to
01:06:29.560 buy the watch
01:06:30.160 on their own.
01:06:30.660 I don't think
01:06:31.060 you would provide
01:06:31.780 them with the
01:06:32.640 watch.
01:06:34.260 They'd have to be
01:06:35.020 motivated.
01:06:35.800 Now, the second
01:06:36.320 thing I thought,
01:06:37.720 and let me tell
01:06:39.800 you how dumb I
01:06:40.440 am, I thought,
01:06:42.260 well, if the
01:06:43.040 government just
01:06:43.660 provides you one
01:06:44.400 pill a day,
01:06:45.040 couldn't we do
01:06:45.560 this?
01:06:46.700 Have the
01:06:47.080 government label
01:06:47.820 each of the
01:06:48.260 pills with the
01:06:49.220 percentage of
01:06:50.160 effectiveness.
01:06:51.400 So on day one,
01:06:52.240 it says 100 on
01:06:53.280 it.
01:06:53.600 It's like 100%
01:06:54.640 exactly what you
01:06:55.480 think is fentanyl.
01:06:56.880 And it's an
01:06:57.580 amount you think
01:06:58.140 you're getting.
01:06:59.060 But after a few
01:06:59.920 weeks, you still
01:07:01.280 get free fentanyl,
01:07:02.640 but the next pill
01:07:03.680 says 99 on it.
01:07:05.960 It's 99% as good
01:07:07.500 as the one you
01:07:08.280 were taking.
01:07:09.100 You wouldn't
01:07:09.500 even notice the
01:07:10.080 difference.
01:07:11.820 A few weeks
01:07:12.300 later, 98.
01:07:13.900 So basically,
01:07:14.900 you would try to
01:07:15.440 wean them down
01:07:16.260 to a fraction
01:07:17.820 of what they
01:07:18.320 were using.
01:07:19.560 And then,
01:07:20.560 once you got
01:07:21.100 the quantity
01:07:21.720 down, maybe
01:07:23.140 talk about
01:07:23.680 detox and
01:07:24.700 rehab.
01:07:26.760 But you
01:07:27.160 probably need
01:07:27.580 to get them
01:07:28.760 down to some
01:07:29.480 reasonable number.
01:07:33.160 So do you
01:07:34.340 see what's
01:07:34.620 wrong with
01:07:34.940 that idea?
01:07:38.780 Does anybody
01:07:39.720 see what's
01:07:40.160 wrong with
01:07:40.520 the idea?
01:07:41.160 And I
01:07:41.500 missed it
01:07:42.020 until somebody
01:07:42.680 told me.
01:07:45.440 Have you
01:07:45.780 ever met
01:07:46.140 an addict?
01:07:48.320 Do you
01:07:48.860 know what
01:07:49.060 the addicts
01:07:49.560 would do?
01:07:51.440 They would
01:07:52.100 take the
01:07:52.660 free government
01:07:53.560 fentanyl
01:07:54.480 and they
01:07:56.300 would sell
01:07:56.900 it, or
01:07:58.280 they would
01:07:58.680 buy, they
01:07:59.820 would just
01:08:00.640 add it to
01:08:01.120 the illegal
01:08:02.160 fentanyl
01:08:02.640 they're taking.
01:08:03.620 They would
01:08:04.100 just say,
01:08:04.600 wait, free
01:08:05.180 fentanyl?
01:08:06.140 Of course I'll
01:08:06.720 take it.
01:08:07.780 I'll add that
01:08:08.440 to the illegal
01:08:09.100 fentanyl I'm
01:08:09.820 also taking.
01:08:10.500 Now it's
01:08:11.040 cheaper.
01:08:11.300 So you
01:08:13.020 would never
01:08:13.760 get an
01:08:14.300 addict to
01:08:15.140 voluntarily
01:08:15.700 cut down
01:08:16.340 their
01:08:16.540 fentanyl.
01:08:18.520 You would
01:08:19.100 get lots
01:08:19.540 of addicts
01:08:20.080 who would
01:08:20.340 pretend to
01:08:20.880 cut down
01:08:21.520 so they
01:08:21.800 could get
01:08:22.100 more
01:08:22.280 fentanyl.
01:08:23.820 They would
01:08:24.340 just get
01:08:24.640 your free
01:08:25.080 stuff and
01:08:25.900 add it to
01:08:26.300 the stuff
01:08:26.620 they already
01:08:27.000 had.
01:08:27.280 It's twice
01:08:27.720 as much
01:08:28.060 fentanyl,
01:08:28.860 half the
01:08:29.180 price.
01:08:30.780 And by
01:08:31.900 the way,
01:08:32.480 that was
01:08:32.840 completely
01:08:33.380 invisible
01:08:33.920 until an
01:08:35.260 addict
01:08:35.600 described it
01:08:36.420 to me.
01:08:38.520 It had to
01:08:39.200 come from
01:08:39.520 an addict.
01:08:39.880 The first
01:08:41.000 thing we
01:08:41.280 do is
01:08:41.540 keep your
01:08:41.920 free pills
01:08:42.460 and then
01:08:42.900 go get
01:08:43.220 some more.
01:08:44.020 And I
01:08:44.220 was like,
01:08:44.780 I am so
01:08:46.120 freaking
01:08:46.440 dumb.
01:08:49.560 If you're
01:08:51.080 thinking like
01:08:51.660 a non-addict,
01:08:53.040 you cannot
01:08:53.940 know what
01:08:54.500 to do.
01:08:56.140 You have
01:08:57.060 to be an
01:08:57.800 addict to
01:08:58.940 know what
01:08:59.320 would work.
01:09:00.460 Period.
01:09:01.460 So I'm
01:09:02.840 really aware
01:09:03.460 that I have
01:09:03.820 this gigantic
01:09:04.840 blind spot,
01:09:06.260 gigantic
01:09:07.000 blind spot
01:09:07.740 of how an
01:09:08.300 addict would
01:09:09.620 act.
01:09:10.180 And remember,
01:09:10.660 we all
01:09:10.920 have this
01:09:11.280 blind spot
01:09:11.800 with the
01:09:12.100 homeless.
01:09:13.500 So many
01:09:14.040 people said,
01:09:14.760 oh, the
01:09:15.080 homeless, if
01:09:15.640 we just get
01:09:16.140 them in
01:09:16.440 homes, that
01:09:18.240 will be at
01:09:18.900 least a start
01:09:19.540 to get them
01:09:20.020 back to where
01:09:20.680 they want.
01:09:21.420 And then you
01:09:21.800 find out that
01:09:22.320 the drug dealers
01:09:22.980 want to live
01:09:23.640 on the street.
01:09:24.340 It's a choice.
01:09:25.740 And you go,
01:09:26.400 okay, I
01:09:26.760 didn't know
01:09:27.100 anything about
01:09:27.720 addicts.
01:09:28.820 I really
01:09:29.300 didn't know
01:09:29.740 anything about
01:09:30.560 this situation.
01:09:34.660 All right.
01:09:35.180 that's why
01:09:40.720 an ex-addict
01:09:41.340 is a good
01:09:41.840 drug counselor.
01:09:42.740 Agreed.
01:09:43.740 I'm not sure
01:09:44.520 I would want
01:09:45.020 a drug
01:09:45.380 counselor who
01:09:46.020 had not
01:09:46.400 ever been
01:09:46.880 an addict.
01:09:47.880 That feels
01:09:48.540 like they'd
01:09:48.940 be flying
01:09:49.320 blind.
01:09:52.320 Now, here's
01:09:53.060 another
01:09:53.400 possibility.
01:09:55.160 All right,
01:09:55.320 this is just
01:09:55.800 brainstorming.
01:09:57.240 And I'm
01:09:57.560 going to
01:09:57.800 suggest something
01:09:58.620 that's really
01:09:59.560 unpleasant.
01:10:01.240 something you
01:10:03.420 never would
01:10:03.940 want to see
01:10:04.380 happen to
01:10:04.840 any person.
01:10:06.000 But remember,
01:10:06.560 all the
01:10:06.960 choices are
01:10:07.500 bad.
01:10:09.940 They're all
01:10:10.660 bad.
01:10:13.080 So,
01:10:15.140 never mind.
01:10:17.260 I think I
01:10:17.660 can back
01:10:18.000 off from
01:10:18.360 that.
01:10:19.440 All right.
01:10:23.560 That is
01:10:24.100 all I have
01:10:24.480 for today.
01:10:24.860 I'm going
01:10:25.060 to go talk
01:10:25.440 to the
01:10:25.660 local people
01:10:26.180 and I
01:10:27.100 will talk
01:10:27.460 to you.
01:10:28.340 I'll say
01:10:28.920 it because
01:10:29.300 it's not
01:10:30.240 fair to
01:10:30.540 bring it
01:10:30.780 up in
01:10:31.000 another
01:10:31.220 one of
01:10:32.220 the
01:10:32.300 possibilities
01:10:32.740 is that
01:10:33.380 instead
01:10:33.680 of
01:10:34.000 jailing
01:10:35.560 addicts,
01:10:36.700 you take
01:10:37.200 away
01:10:37.420 their
01:10:37.640 privacy.
01:10:39.900 That's
01:10:40.380 the idea.
01:10:41.820 They don't
01:10:42.420 go to
01:10:42.680 jail.
01:10:43.500 They don't
01:10:43.840 even have
01:10:44.160 to stop
01:10:44.480 taking
01:10:44.780 drugs.
01:10:46.280 But you
01:10:47.300 take away
01:10:47.720 all their
01:10:48.040 privacy.
01:10:49.460 You track
01:10:49.960 them.
01:10:50.720 You,
01:10:51.020 you know,
01:10:51.660 you check
01:10:52.200 their blood
01:10:52.720 any time
01:10:53.200 you want.
01:10:54.860 And,
01:10:56.100 yeah.
01:10:59.240 So,
01:10:59.800 it would
01:11:00.000 be one
01:11:00.480 way to
01:11:01.000 sort
01:11:01.260 of have
01:11:02.900 some
01:11:03.140 kind of
01:11:03.480 system
01:11:03.960 control
01:11:04.540 over
01:11:04.820 people
01:11:05.220 without
01:11:06.420 taking
01:11:07.380 away
01:11:07.620 their
01:11:07.800 addiction.
01:11:10.360 Now,
01:11:10.860 remember,
01:11:11.220 this is
01:11:11.540 brainstorming.
01:11:12.760 It's just
01:11:13.160 brainstorming.
01:11:13.880 Because we
01:11:14.260 know jail
01:11:14.720 doesn't work,
01:11:15.960 right?
01:11:16.260 We know
01:11:16.620 rehab barely
01:11:17.380 works.
01:11:18.520 But we
01:11:19.180 don't know
01:11:19.680 if people
01:11:20.240 would like
01:11:20.740 their freedom
01:11:21.320 so much,
01:11:22.220 or their
01:11:22.680 privacy so much,
01:11:24.680 that they
01:11:25.580 would want to
01:11:26.020 get off drugs
01:11:26.620 just to get
01:11:27.160 their privacy
01:11:27.660 back.
01:11:29.540 So,
01:11:30.160 I'm just
01:11:30.520 thinking of
01:11:30.940 all the
01:11:31.260 things that
01:11:31.740 you could
01:11:31.980 do that
01:11:32.360 would be
01:11:32.880 pressure or
01:11:35.920 friction.
01:11:38.860 Now,
01:11:39.580 the,
01:11:40.000 Michael
01:11:40.620 Schellenberger
01:11:41.220 have,
01:11:41.780 and I
01:11:42.100 have a,
01:11:43.460 I'm not,
01:11:43.940 I'm not even
01:11:44.300 sure if it's
01:11:44.600 a disagreement,
01:11:46.040 but a
01:11:46.560 different,
01:11:47.260 let's say,
01:11:48.860 filter on
01:11:50.080 legalization
01:11:50.860 of drugs.
01:11:52.280 I believe
01:11:53.940 that legalizing
01:11:55.080 drugs in
01:11:55.880 some way
01:11:56.480 is just,
01:11:57.560 it's going
01:11:57.940 to be part
01:11:58.360 of the
01:11:58.580 solution.
01:11:59.600 It's not
01:12:00.020 the solution.
01:12:01.580 But I
01:12:02.720 don't like,
01:12:03.420 as Schellenberger
01:12:04.720 also agrees,
01:12:05.840 I don't like
01:12:06.340 the open-air,
01:12:07.320 free needle
01:12:08.220 exchange kind
01:12:09.620 of stuff in
01:12:10.080 the city.
01:12:10.700 That just
01:12:11.200 attracts all
01:12:11.800 the zombies,
01:12:13.000 just ruins
01:12:13.460 the city.
01:12:14.220 You don't
01:12:14.480 want to do
01:12:14.780 it that way.
01:12:16.120 But there
01:12:16.460 may be some
01:12:17.420 way to
01:12:18.380 manage people
01:12:20.240 who are not
01:12:21.060 going to
01:12:21.300 quit,
01:12:22.280 without
01:12:23.780 putting them
01:12:24.320 in one
01:12:24.640 place with
01:12:25.180 free needles,
01:12:25.880 which is
01:12:26.220 the bad
01:12:26.620 way to
01:12:26.940 do it.
01:12:28.200 So I'm
01:12:30.760 less of an
01:12:31.680 advocate for
01:12:33.420 discontinuing
01:12:34.520 those tests
01:12:36.360 because I'm
01:12:38.200 generally afraid
01:12:38.900 in favor of
01:12:39.980 testing things.
01:12:40.840 But you also
01:12:41.520 have to be
01:12:41.960 willing to
01:12:42.440 unwind it.
01:12:43.880 You don't
01:12:44.240 want to
01:12:44.480 implement that
01:12:45.160 unless you're
01:12:45.600 willing to
01:12:45.960 quickly unwind
01:12:46.740 it if it
01:12:47.180 doesn't work.
01:12:48.960 And it
01:12:49.280 didn't work
01:12:49.660 in San
01:12:49.980 Francisco,
01:12:50.540 so if they
01:12:50.880 did the
01:12:51.220 same thing,
01:12:51.860 that would
01:12:52.240 be dumb.
01:12:53.180 But if
01:12:53.480 they thought,
01:12:54.020 oh, the
01:12:54.320 reason it
01:12:54.740 didn't work
01:12:55.100 in San
01:12:55.440 Francisco is
01:12:56.680 because they
01:12:57.020 made XY 0.62
01:12:57.640 mistakes and
01:12:58.680 we won't
01:12:59.060 do that,
01:12:59.860 that's worth
01:13:00.420 testing.
01:13:04.680 Did you see
01:13:05.400 Bill Gates
01:13:05.900 say he's
01:13:06.480 dead and
01:13:07.100 laugh?
01:13:08.060 Who's
01:13:08.360 dead?
01:13:08.720 Oh, about
01:13:09.400 Epstein,
01:13:10.120 yeah.
01:13:12.880 Yeah,
01:13:13.600 Bill Gates,
01:13:15.440 his answers
01:13:16.260 about Epstein
01:13:16.920 were really
01:13:17.820 uncomfortable.
01:13:18.820 really
01:13:20.900 uncomfortable.
01:13:23.420 All right,
01:13:24.120 bye for now
01:13:24.980 on YouTube
01:13:25.840 and I'll
01:13:27.240 talk to you
01:13:27.760 tomorrow.
