Summary

The best way to predict the future is that the best story is the one that wins. The Australian Open winner is Novak Djokovic, and he did it by not getting vaccinated against a new virus that was about to take over the world.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the Highlight of Civilization.
00:00:05.940 Once again, the best thing you've ever done for yourself, showing up here.
00:00:09.720 Now, I can't guarantee that this will be the best thing that happened to you today,
00:00:15.420 but there's about an 80% chance, 80% chance.
00:00:18.640 And if you'd like to take it up to 85% chance,
00:00:21.880 all you need is a cup or mug or a glass or a tank or a chalice or a stand,
00:00:25.700 a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind,
00:00:28.500 and fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:31.200 I like coffee.
00:00:32.700 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,
00:00:35.080 the dopamine of the day thing that makes everything better.
00:00:38.040 It's called the Simultaneous Sip.
00:00:40.060 Go.
00:00:44.300 Ah, yeah.
00:00:47.900 That's good stuff.
00:00:49.300 Well, over on Locals, we're going to go private,
00:00:52.040 but you can watch us on YouTube all you want,
00:00:55.540 except for the good stuff after the show.
00:00:57.100 That's only for the subscribers.
00:01:00.460 Well, have I ever told you this way to predict the future?
00:01:06.520 Best way to predict the future is the best story usually wins.
00:01:12.460 Have you ever heard me say that?
00:01:13.840 The best story?
00:01:16.000 So, for example, if there's an aging athlete
00:01:19.120 who comes back for one last chance to win the Super Bowl that he's never won before,
00:01:25.860 if that's like the best story, it'll probably happen.
00:01:30.740 Right?
00:01:30.800 So, the Australian Open tennis tournament just concluded.
00:01:38.440 What was the best story?
00:01:41.660 Well, the best story, if you recall, if you don't watch tennis, I'll tell you,
00:01:45.840 one of the top players in the world,
00:01:47.920 I don't know if he's number one, but he has been number one off and on,
00:01:50.940 Novak Djokovic.
00:01:54.060 He was not allowed to play in the Australian Open last year
00:01:59.780 because he was unvaccinated.
00:02:02.420 This year he was allowed to play.
00:02:04.100 What was the best story?
00:02:06.860 Oh, didn't he regain number one by winning the tournament?
00:02:13.800 That's the best story.
00:02:15.820 The best story would be Novak Djokovic winning the Australian Open.
00:02:23.480 Yesterday, Novak Djokovic won the Australian Open.
00:02:28.320 Now, that's not the weird part.
00:02:31.720 You know what the weird part is?
00:02:33.440 His first name, Novaks.
00:02:41.160 Novaks.
00:02:43.580 I mean, it's, you know, Novak, but really?
00:02:49.180 His name is Novaks.
00:02:52.320 And he didn't get vaccinated, and he won the Australian Open.
00:02:56.080 You tell me that's not the best story, right?
00:03:00.140 Could you not have predicted that?
00:03:02.060 I did actually predict that in advance, but privately.
00:03:05.700 So I should have said it out loud.
00:03:07.580 But every time you see one of these where the best story is really obvious,
00:03:11.500 you're like, well, that would be the best story.
00:03:14.160 Then it happens.
00:03:15.180 And I think that there's actually a mechanism for it.
00:03:18.480 You know, it could be the simulation is causing our intentions to make it happen.
00:03:22.340 But I feel as if everybody collectively knows the best story, including the competitors.
00:03:29.440 And I think it actually suppresses the competitors.
00:03:33.780 You know, there's like a psychological mechanism where they, too, want the best story to happen.
00:03:38.880 Because the best story is just, has a hold on your mind, because you're used to seeing the best story, you know, in fiction.
00:03:46.480 So that's just a theory.
00:03:47.580 Wall Street Journal is reporting that restaurants are retooling to be more take-out oriented.
00:03:55.580 Some of them will be purely take-out.
00:03:59.040 So you're going to have a purely take-out restaurant.
00:04:03.680 More of them coming.
00:04:04.680 I mean, it's not like that was just invented.
00:04:07.940 But there will be more of them coming.
00:04:09.040 Now, here's what I always thought was the best part about the pandemic, if you can even say that.
00:04:15.460 The best part about the pandemic is, do you remember Naval Ravikant said early in the pandemic,
00:04:23.100 he predicted that what the pandemic would change was mostly the rate of change.
00:04:28.960 That the things that were going to happen in the long run were still going to happen.
00:04:33.240 Just they would happen more quickly because we would be scrambling to re-engineer everything.
00:04:37.940 And one of the things I think was badly in need of re-engineering is food.
00:04:44.020 Have you ever thought about the inefficiency of the food process?
00:04:47.760 From the moment, let's say, a seed is planted in a farmer's field,
00:04:52.360 do you know how many people touch your food before it gets to your mouth?
00:04:56.440 It's like all kinds of steps to get it to, you know, some distribution place,
00:05:01.980 and then it gets to the food distribution place, then it gets to the grocery store,
00:05:05.920 then it gets on the shelf, you put it in your cart, you take it out of the cart,
00:05:10.580 you put it on the cashier thing, you pay for it, you put it back in the cart,
00:05:17.360 you take it out of the cart, you put it in your car, you take it out of your car,
00:05:20.440 you put it on your counter, you take it out of your bag and put it in the refrigerator,
00:05:24.440 you take it out of the refrigerator, you take it out of the package,
00:05:27.140 take it out of the package, put it in the oven, take it out of the oven, put it on a plate,
00:05:31.220 take it from the plate and put it in your mouth.
00:05:33.920 The whole thing is a complete mess.
00:05:37.820 Nobody would design this system from scratch.
00:05:40.980 You know, it just sort of evolved that way with a free market.
00:05:44.580 So for a long time I've been telling you
00:05:47.880 that the best food distribution system
00:05:52.180 would look like the following.
00:05:54.900 Something very close to your home,
00:05:57.720 like you could walk there in five minutes,
00:05:59.600 would be like a central cafeteria, like a college campus.
00:06:05.100 And a central cafeteria would have a wide variety of food
00:06:08.040 that they just made fresh.
00:06:09.740 So everything's fresh, just got made, lots of variety.
00:06:14.440 And because it's a captive audience, a little bit,
00:06:18.120 you know, they had the monopoly, if you will,
00:06:20.720 it was pretty cheap.
00:06:22.520 So it was cheap, best food you could get,
00:06:25.160 and the easiest food you could get.
00:06:26.540 They solved every problem.
00:06:27.640 Solved every problem.
00:06:29.960 The only thing it didn't solve
00:06:31.380 was we didn't have apps, you know, when I was in college.
00:06:35.560 If I had an app where all I had to do was, you know,
00:06:39.340 say what I want to pick up,
00:06:40.520 and I just walk over and pick it up,
00:06:42.240 I wouldn't have to pay for delivery.
00:06:44.520 So the whole DoorDash...
00:06:45.580 I think DoorDash might have a limited future.
00:06:49.700 Because I think people are going to still be doing a take-out,
00:06:54.080 but I think they're going to get it within five minutes of their house.
00:06:57.980 So I think you'll have all these local sort of general cafeterias.
00:07:03.140 Here would be the mistake.
00:07:05.340 I think the mistake would be
00:07:06.840 to have a local take-out only that's one ethnicity.
00:07:11.860 Like, it's just Chinese take-out.
00:07:15.140 Now, people will use that,
00:07:17.120 but wouldn't you rather everybody in your family
00:07:19.640 can order from the cafeteria and you just go pick it up?
00:07:22.580 You don't want the,
00:07:23.640 well, I don't like Chinese food, or I had it yesterday.
00:07:27.160 If you're going to order once for a family,
00:07:30.420 you kind of want the cafeteria.
00:07:31.740 So, I think this is where it's going.
00:07:38.280 It's going to be all use your app,
00:07:40.140 walk five minutes, and pick it up.
00:07:42.380 That's what it's going to be.
00:07:43.680 With some delivery option.
00:07:46.420 But it's already happening, it looks like.
00:07:47.920 All right, here's some fake news from the Democrats.
00:07:51.380 Fake news.
00:07:52.860 Do you remember when the Democrats were saying
00:07:54.440 that the Georgia voting laws,
00:07:58.140 and there have been some recent changes,
00:07:59.660 were going to disenfranchinize the black American voters.
00:08:04.200 Do you remember that?
00:08:05.680 Oh, it was practically a second Holocaust,
00:08:09.620 slavery all over again.
00:08:12.040 How could they?
00:08:13.400 They were going to make it impossible
00:08:14.860 for black people to figure out how to vote.
00:08:18.220 So, there was a recent survey.
00:08:21.020 A new poll asked black voters
00:08:23.260 if they had a poor experience cast in their ballot.
00:08:26.080 And the number of black voters
00:08:29.820 who said they had a poor experience voting in Georgia
00:08:32.000 was zero.
00:08:35.300 Zero.
00:08:37.140 Have you ever seen a poll
00:08:38.700 where one of the main answers was zero?
00:08:43.060 Zero.
00:08:44.500 Now, it rounded to zero.
00:08:46.460 So, it was a little bit more than zero.
00:08:48.300 But it rounded to zero.
00:08:49.400 Yeah, I often tell you that on any poll,
00:08:54.860 at least 25% of the respondents
00:08:57.320 are going to get the wrong answer.
00:08:59.200 But this one was so clean,
00:09:01.860 so obvious,
00:09:03.360 so clear,
00:09:05.400 so unambiguous,
00:09:07.240 that 100% of black Americans,
00:09:10.680 who you might imagine,
00:09:12.720 you know, being human,
00:09:13.740 like everybody else,
00:09:15.140 you might imagine that they would feel a little biased,
00:09:17.380 because we all do in our own situations, right?
00:09:20.460 We all have bias.
00:09:22.120 Don't you think that
00:09:23.020 you could get more than zero of them
00:09:25.520 to at least imagine they had a hard time?
00:09:29.320 How do you even not imagine
00:09:31.620 that maybe it was harder than usual?
00:09:33.980 I mean, the level of certainty
00:09:35.600 that these patriots exhibited,
00:09:40.620 and I'm going to call them patriots,
00:09:41.900 why?
00:09:43.200 Why do I call them patriots?
00:09:44.760 Because there wasn't anybody
00:09:45.840 who was willing to lie
00:09:46.880 for political purposes.
00:09:49.060 They found,
00:09:50.000 apparently,
00:09:50.940 a large body of black voters,
00:09:53.060 of which basically none of them
00:09:55.580 were willing to lie
00:09:57.500 for political gain.
00:10:01.400 Have you ever seen better news than that?
00:10:06.140 Yeah.
00:10:06.580 Now, somebody says that,
00:10:08.020 you know,
00:10:08.280 makes you suspicious of the poll,
00:10:09.800 doesn't it?
00:10:10.680 Yeah, that does make you
00:10:11.640 a little suspicious of the poll.
00:10:12.980 All right,
00:10:14.100 I'm going to completely change
00:10:15.640 my take on this.
00:10:17.540 You've completely changed my mind.
00:10:19.220 There's no way that's true.
00:10:20.900 There's no way that's credible.
00:10:23.220 All right, you win.
00:10:24.340 You win.
00:10:24.960 You got me.
00:10:26.560 My first reaction was,
00:10:28.140 it was amazing.
00:10:29.480 Second reaction,
00:10:30.940 you have changed my mind.
00:10:32.280 I'm looking at your comments.
00:10:33.660 You've totally changed my mind.
00:10:35.320 There isn't any way that's true.
00:10:37.520 There isn't any way that's true.
00:10:38.880 All right?
00:10:41.780 And here I was all inspired
00:10:43.220 that we'd found a pocket
00:10:45.020 of the best patriotic Americans
00:10:47.340 who just weren't willing to lie
00:10:48.880 for political gain.
00:10:50.480 But there's no group of Americans like that.
00:10:55.160 All right, well,
00:10:56.340 I guess it's double fake news.
00:10:58.380 It's probably double fake news
00:10:59.720 that it really wasn't that hard to vote,
00:11:01.640 but there's no way this survey is real.
00:11:03.880 I can't believe it.
00:11:05.640 All right, enough of that.
00:11:06.920 So Wall Street Journal
00:11:09.860 has some good reporting here
00:11:11.660 on what's stopping
00:11:12.540 the TikTok ban from happening.
00:11:15.580 As you know,
00:11:16.680 TikTok is evil
00:11:17.480 and can control America
00:11:20.420 because it's the user interface
00:11:21.760 that China can use
00:11:23.060 to change our opinions in America.
00:11:25.460 Literally.
00:11:26.800 That's not any kind of exaggeration.
00:11:30.060 And so as you know,
00:11:32.240 Hawley has some legislation
00:11:35.600 and it's pending.
00:11:36.980 But here's the problem
00:11:38.220 that I'd never heard of until today.
00:11:41.880 And how?
00:11:43.540 How in the world
00:11:44.240 did I never hear this until today?
00:11:46.780 Can you tell me
00:11:47.640 if you heard this news before today?
00:11:50.100 That the reason that
00:11:51.440 Trump tried and failed
00:11:53.800 to get TikTok banned
00:11:55.400 was there's something called
00:11:57.480 the Berman Amendment
00:11:58.860 that goes back to the Cold War.
00:12:01.720 And the Berman Amendment
00:12:03.960 says that you don't want
00:12:05.400 to censor
00:12:06.080 international information.
00:12:09.880 And the reason was
00:12:11.340 I think we didn't want
00:12:12.580 our information
00:12:13.320 to be censored
00:12:14.380 by other people,
00:12:15.540 but also we didn't want
00:12:17.000 to be the censors
00:12:17.780 of other countries.
00:12:19.260 So it was the Berman Amendment.
00:12:22.680 Now, apparently
00:12:23.880 the Trump administration
00:12:25.060 was not able
00:12:26.100 to figure out
00:12:26.780 a way around it.
00:12:28.260 And so TikTok argued it
00:12:29.840 and won,
00:12:30.920 and won in court.
00:12:31.760 They said it's not legal
00:12:32.680 because the Berman Amendment
00:12:33.700 says you can't do this.
00:12:35.360 So the Trump administration
00:12:36.860 backed off.
00:12:40.580 Do you know how hard
00:12:41.640 this was to solve?
00:12:44.660 Here's what the Hawley Amendment
00:12:46.140 did to get past
00:12:47.700 that oh-so-terrible problem.
00:12:50.460 Totally unsolvable problem, right?
00:12:52.540 What are you going to do?
00:12:53.900 What are you going to do
00:12:54.800 with this unsolvable problem
00:12:56.740 of the Berman Amendment?
00:12:57.740 Well, let me tell you
00:12:59.420 how clever Hawley is.
00:13:02.180 Josh Hawley?
00:13:03.100 Now, you never would have
00:13:04.340 figured this out
00:13:05.120 because we're, you know,
00:13:06.980 just normal people.
00:13:08.840 But Josh Hawley,
00:13:10.100 apparently a genius,
00:13:12.260 figured out how to get
00:13:13.300 around the Berman Act.
00:13:15.720 His legislation says
00:13:17.180 this will be a narrow exception
00:13:19.300 to the Berman Act.
00:13:22.440 Well, who would have
00:13:23.340 ever thought of that?
00:13:24.980 Who would have ever thought,
00:13:26.120 well, why don't we just include
00:13:27.760 in the legislation
00:13:28.620 that this is an exception?
00:13:31.360 How about that?
00:13:33.720 Now, apparently nobody...
00:13:35.800 I want to ask you
00:13:38.260 for an exception
00:13:38.940 to do some swearing
00:13:40.260 because this really calls for it.
00:13:43.180 But I'm not going to do it.
00:13:44.080 Not going to do it.
00:13:45.220 I'm not going to swear.
00:13:46.180 I will simply state
00:13:48.060 in the calmest possible way
00:13:50.020 that the Trump administration
00:13:52.980 must have been deeply incompetent
00:13:56.260 on this issue
00:13:57.280 because it looks like
00:14:00.000 the solution
00:14:00.640 is as simple as saying,
00:14:03.300 well, how about we make
00:14:04.100 an exception to the Berman Act
00:14:05.520 and here's why.
00:14:08.960 That was not really hard
00:14:10.800 to figure out.
00:14:11.540 So, I can't give Trump
00:14:15.920 a pass on that.
00:14:17.780 Can I?
00:14:19.160 How in the world
00:14:19.960 can I give him a pass on that?
00:14:22.060 Now, maybe,
00:14:23.040 maybe the Josh Hawley
00:14:25.520 legislation won't pass.
00:14:27.960 And then, you know,
00:14:28.700 then maybe the argument is,
00:14:29.760 well, you know,
00:14:30.360 it's not going to pass
00:14:31.140 if you put that in there.
00:14:32.380 But why wouldn't it?
00:14:33.980 The argument
00:14:34.780 for not making that exception
00:14:36.320 is that other countries
00:14:38.320 might try to censor
00:14:39.420 our information.
00:14:40.340 stop laughing.
00:14:44.020 Come on, let me say it again
00:14:44.960 so you can have a good laugh.
00:14:47.360 The argument
00:14:48.200 for not censoring information
00:14:49.820 coming into our country
00:14:51.140 from China,
00:14:54.100 from China,
00:14:56.380 is that other countries
00:14:57.500 might try to,
00:14:58.800 you know,
00:14:59.380 use that as an excuse
00:15:00.300 to ban some of our information.
00:15:03.400 Yeah.
00:15:04.500 That's actually
00:15:05.520 what they're arguing about
00:15:06.920 in the real world.
00:15:08.920 actual adults
00:15:10.760 are having that conversation.
00:15:13.240 Let me tell you
00:15:14.040 the conversation
00:15:14.740 that's not happening
00:15:15.700 in China.
00:15:18.040 Oh, we better not
00:15:19.180 do anything with TikTok
00:15:20.340 because we don't want
00:15:22.040 to violate that
00:15:22.780 Berman Act.
00:15:23.740 I mean, it's not our,
00:15:24.680 it's not our act
00:15:25.760 or amendment.
00:15:26.720 It's not our amendment,
00:15:27.880 but, you know,
00:15:28.360 we don't want to start something.
00:15:30.160 The last thing
00:15:30.760 we'd want to do in China
00:15:31.720 is ban some
00:15:32.420 American information
00:15:33.480 because, you know,
00:15:34.880 then they might ban
00:15:35.620 our information.
00:15:36.280 I mean, really,
00:15:39.560 are we seeing,
00:15:41.360 are we missing something
00:15:42.780 about the story?
00:15:44.080 Or are our politicians
00:15:46.040 actually this incapable?
00:15:49.140 The level of incompetence
00:15:51.500 that this exhibits
00:15:52.440 is almost hard to believe.
00:15:56.560 Like, you could have
00:15:57.240 a really low opinion
00:15:58.300 of Congress
00:15:58.860 and still look at this
00:15:59.840 and say,
00:16:00.560 okay, that's a new,
00:16:01.500 that's a new level
00:16:02.700 of incompetence.
00:16:03.280 Incompetence.
00:16:04.080 I haven't seen that before.
00:16:05.800 You know, you've done it again.
00:16:07.520 You've undone yourself.
00:16:09.580 Yeah, we don't want
00:16:10.520 China and Russia
00:16:12.360 and North Korea.
00:16:14.360 Yeah, we wouldn't want them
00:16:15.620 filtering the information
00:16:17.760 we send to their residents.
00:16:20.440 God forbid
00:16:21.400 that that should start tomorrow.
00:16:24.660 All right.
00:16:28.220 So, that's happening
00:16:30.360 or not happening.
00:16:31.020 But the good news is
00:16:32.580 we'll all get to see
00:16:34.280 who is voting for China
00:16:35.900 and who's voting
00:16:36.580 for the United States.
00:16:38.460 And Josh Hawley,
00:16:39.300 here's another bit
00:16:40.280 of fodder for you.
00:16:44.060 The Berman Act,
00:16:45.160 unless I'm mistaken,
00:16:46.620 is about information
00:16:47.960 from other countries.
00:16:50.080 Information.
00:16:52.680 TikTok is information.
00:16:54.440 All you have to do
00:16:57.380 is call it entertainment.
00:17:00.000 You're done.
00:17:01.660 Just say the Berman Act
00:17:02.880 talks about information,
00:17:04.480 but this is specifically
00:17:05.700 about entertainment.
00:17:07.300 So, we would never
00:17:08.300 block information,
00:17:09.820 but we might block
00:17:10.800 entertainment
00:17:11.960 that also has
00:17:13.540 some information in it.
00:17:16.600 So,
00:17:17.520 it's just words,
00:17:18.840 nothing you can't change.
00:17:20.680 There's a company,
00:17:21.360 I saw an ad for a company
00:17:22.260 called Pay Analytics.
00:17:24.420 So, they've got
00:17:25.060 a new product,
00:17:25.840 and I want you to see
00:17:26.580 if you can find,
00:17:28.300 oh, I don't know,
00:17:30.140 any potential problems
00:17:32.760 with this product.
00:17:35.200 See if,
00:17:36.120 see if your suspicious mind
00:17:38.060 comes up with anything
00:17:39.600 that would be maybe
00:17:40.380 bad about this product
00:17:43.440 taking off
00:17:44.300 in corporate America.
00:17:45.320 Here's what they do.
00:17:46.260 They measure and monitor
00:17:47.420 pay gaps
00:17:48.260 by any demographic variable.
00:17:52.040 Pay equity decisions
00:17:53.120 made easy
00:17:53.720 for HR and compensation,
00:17:55.500 as well as consultants,
00:17:57.100 as well as consultants.
00:17:58.620 So, you can sustain
00:17:59.900 fair pay
00:18:00.640 and gain ongoing
00:18:02.160 data-driven support.
00:18:04.640 You could book
00:18:05.340 a demo today.
00:18:08.180 That's right.
00:18:09.680 You could take a company
00:18:11.020 away from its mission
00:18:12.240 of making money
00:18:13.440 and serving its stockholders,
00:18:14.660 and you could make them
00:18:16.200 spend all of their time
00:18:17.760 trying to be fair
00:18:19.920 across all demographic variables.
00:18:22.920 All of them.
00:18:24.580 All of the demographics.
00:18:26.780 Because if you find out
00:18:28.580 that short people
00:18:29.540 are paid less,
00:18:30.920 you're going to have
00:18:31.600 to fix it.
00:18:35.160 So, in theory,
00:18:37.500 I'd like to know
00:18:38.540 if they put in height
00:18:39.480 and weight
00:18:40.000 and attractiveness.
00:18:42.000 Because you know
00:18:43.080 those are correlated, right?
00:18:45.280 You know that
00:18:46.100 better-looking people
00:18:46.900 are higher paid.
00:18:48.900 Is that fair?
00:18:50.980 How about short people?
00:18:52.560 They're paid less
00:18:53.240 than tall people.
00:18:54.560 I think that pay analytics
00:18:55.880 needs to do more analytics.
00:18:59.680 I don't know
00:19:00.200 if they've done enough.
00:19:01.480 Because if they only stopped
00:19:02.540 with, let's say,
00:19:03.640 gender preference
00:19:05.220 and ethnicity
00:19:07.460 and religion,
00:19:08.760 if they stopped with that,
00:19:10.580 I'd say,
00:19:11.540 you've only gone
00:19:12.460 half the way.
00:19:13.140 there are so many
00:19:14.760 other demographics
00:19:15.660 that must be accounted for.
00:19:17.760 So, let's get that going.
00:19:21.320 All right.
00:19:22.720 One of the biggest questions
00:19:24.060 I've been asked lately is,
00:19:25.580 am I serious
00:19:26.460 about my apologizing
00:19:27.960 for being wrong
00:19:28.960 about everything
00:19:29.700 in the pandemic?
00:19:30.860 sarcastic?
00:19:32.260 Or,
00:19:33.540 as some people
00:19:34.180 have suggested,
00:19:34.980 am I just being sarcastic
00:19:36.340 and just being a jerk?
00:19:39.320 Mwah, mwah, mwah.
00:19:41.480 All right.
00:19:41.920 What do you think?
00:19:43.800 Sarcastic
00:19:44.240 or serious?
00:19:46.020 Go.
00:19:46.640 In the comments,
00:19:48.240 what do you say?
00:19:49.020 Oh, damn you.
00:19:52.440 Damn you
00:19:53.000 for getting the right answers
00:19:54.280 over there on Locals.
00:19:55.440 The Locals people
00:19:56.240 are all over me.
00:19:58.520 They're always there.
00:20:01.180 Both.
00:20:02.200 How could I be serious
00:20:03.360 and not serious
00:20:04.140 at the same time?
00:20:06.080 Is that possible?
00:20:07.920 But how could I believe
00:20:09.580 that I was wrong
00:20:10.260 about everything
00:20:10.900 if I really believe
00:20:13.160 that I'm right
00:20:13.620 about everything?
00:20:14.440 They can't both be true,
00:20:15.640 right?
00:20:15.800 It can't be true
00:20:17.800 that I'm right
00:20:18.540 about everything
00:20:19.040 and wrong
00:20:19.500 about everything.
00:20:20.420 Would you agree?
00:20:21.940 Well, let me change
00:20:23.160 the question.
00:20:24.660 How many would agree
00:20:25.560 with the statement?
00:20:26.920 It can't be
00:20:27.680 simultaneously true.
00:20:29.240 Agree or not.
00:20:30.000 It can't be true
00:20:30.860 that I was wrong
00:20:31.620 about almost everything
00:20:32.760 but also right
00:20:33.520 about everything.
00:20:34.780 It can't both be true,
00:20:36.000 right?
00:20:36.420 We all agree on that.
00:20:38.780 All right.
00:20:39.340 That's where we differ.
00:20:41.380 In my world,
00:20:42.940 they both can be true
00:20:44.060 forever.
00:20:44.460 And there's no
00:20:46.380 preferred truth.
00:20:48.020 They're both true,
00:20:49.960 completely true,
00:20:51.980 unambiguously true,
00:20:53.540 and forever.
00:20:54.980 And it's not just
00:20:56.080 a mental thing.
00:20:59.500 In my best understanding
00:21:02.100 of my reality,
00:21:04.060 we are actually
00:21:04.900 a simulation.
00:21:06.380 And it's only because
00:21:07.220 of the math of it.
00:21:08.100 I won't go through
00:21:08.980 the argument again,
00:21:09.660 but it's like a trillion
00:21:10.340 to one that were simulated
00:21:12.060 and not original.
00:21:12.880 If we're simulated,
00:21:16.140 it seems clear that
00:21:17.380 in order to save
00:21:18.540 processing power,
00:21:20.820 our simulation allows us
00:21:22.220 to live in our own movie.
00:21:24.100 I call it a movie
00:21:24.940 because we're looking
00:21:26.120 at the same objective facts
00:21:27.800 often,
00:21:28.560 not always,
00:21:29.260 but often,
00:21:30.080 and yet we form
00:21:31.140 our own movie
00:21:31.700 and then we live in it.
00:21:33.480 The only thing
00:21:34.520 the simulation requires
00:21:35.700 is that we can
00:21:36.560 still reproduce.
00:21:37.980 That's it.
00:21:39.200 If you reproduce,
00:21:40.220 you make more of yourself,
00:21:41.120 so there's more of you
00:21:42.000 to do the same stuff
00:21:42.920 next year.
00:21:43.820 But if you don't reproduce,
00:21:45.240 you know,
00:21:45.420 it's game over.
00:21:46.440 So the only thing
00:21:47.560 that matters
00:21:47.980 is if we can reproduce.
00:21:50.040 And as far as I know,
00:21:51.980 the people who believe
00:21:53.020 that vaccinations
00:21:53.840 were the worst experience
00:21:56.200 we've ever had
00:21:57.120 and those who think
00:21:57.940 it was no big deal
00:21:58.860 can still have babies.
00:22:00.960 You know,
00:22:01.440 unless they've been
00:22:02.100 sterilized by
00:22:03.500 accidental science.
00:22:05.900 But as far as we know,
00:22:07.060 they can both have,
00:22:07.800 we can still have babies
00:22:08.820 with each other.
00:22:10.000 So,
00:22:10.900 what I'm doing,
00:22:12.840 my own,
00:22:13.780 let's say,
00:22:14.440 cognition of what I'm doing,
00:22:16.080 is that I'm not,
00:22:17.220 I'm not dishonest.
00:22:20.400 When I say to the locals people,
00:22:23.040 well,
00:22:23.360 obviously I got everything right,
00:22:25.200 you watched every bit of it.
00:22:27.700 And they say,
00:22:28.320 yeah,
00:22:28.520 that meets my view
00:22:30.060 of the world.
00:22:30.560 Some don't.
00:22:31.160 Some would say the opposite.
00:22:32.640 And then for those
00:22:33.340 who say the opposite,
00:22:34.300 I say,
00:22:35.120 well,
00:22:35.260 that's true too.
00:22:36.780 In a minute,
00:22:38.520 in a little bit,
00:22:41.080 I'm going to do
00:22:41.460 some other stories.
00:22:42.420 At the end,
00:22:43.080 I'm going to tell you
00:22:43.660 something about
00:22:44.580 viruses
00:22:46.460 that you didn't know
00:22:48.900 and it's important.
00:22:52.040 Do you think
00:22:52.480 I can do that?
00:22:53.460 Even at this stage,
00:22:55.220 do you think
00:22:55.620 there's something
00:22:56.020 I could tell you
00:22:56.700 about viruses
00:22:57.440 that you didn't know
00:22:59.200 that's really important?
00:23:01.680 All right,
00:23:02.040 well,
00:23:02.580 let's see if I can
00:23:03.420 pull that off.
00:23:04.000 But, you know,
00:23:05.120 I'll do that at the end
00:23:06.080 so those of you
00:23:06.780 who want to
00:23:07.460 avoid that conversation.
00:23:10.220 All right,
00:23:10.600 let's talk about Ukraine.
00:23:12.240 Did you hear the story
00:23:13.160 that apparently,
00:23:15.120 reportedly,
00:23:16.720 Israel did some
00:23:17.900 bombing runs
00:23:18.660 or maybe some drones
00:23:19.920 or missiles,
00:23:20.540 I don't know,
00:23:21.260 but they attacked
00:23:22.280 a bunch of
00:23:23.220 drone-making factories
00:23:26.520 in Iran.
00:23:28.780 Now,
00:23:30.000 what do you make of that?
00:23:31.300 that Israel
00:23:33.700 just did a massive
00:23:34.580 attack on Iran
00:23:35.540 and took out
00:23:36.640 some number
00:23:37.840 of drone-making
00:23:38.760 factories?
00:23:41.380 I am so impressed
00:23:43.140 with Israel's
00:23:45.320 decision-making,
00:23:47.080 their strategic
00:23:48.120 excellence.
00:23:50.500 It's just crazy
00:23:51.600 how good they are.
00:23:53.600 Do you know
00:23:54.160 how long
00:23:54.620 they've wanted
00:23:55.080 to take out
00:23:55.760 Iranian drone
00:23:57.120 factories?
00:23:58.680 I mean,
00:23:59.040 I'm just guessing.
00:23:59.760 But don't you think
00:24:01.180 they've wanted
00:24:01.580 to take out
00:24:02.180 the Iranian drone
00:24:03.260 factories
00:24:03.660 since the moment
00:24:05.300 they knew
00:24:05.680 they existed?
00:24:06.840 Right.
00:24:07.280 Because these drones
00:24:08.100 are going to end up
00:24:08.820 with Hamas
00:24:10.140 and the drones
00:24:11.200 are going to end up
00:24:11.880 in Israel.
00:24:12.660 Already have,
00:24:13.340 right?
00:24:14.220 So,
00:24:15.900 and do you think
00:24:16.440 they could have done it
00:24:17.220 on day one?
00:24:18.540 Well,
00:24:18.880 on day one
00:24:19.380 it would have looked
00:24:19.940 like they were
00:24:20.880 starting,
00:24:21.560 you know,
00:24:21.900 a traditional war.
00:24:23.180 It would have been
00:24:23.700 pretty aggressive.
00:24:25.520 But,
00:24:26.400 and what would have
00:24:27.260 happened to
00:24:29.240 Europe's reaction?
00:24:31.120 I think Europe
00:24:31.860 would have said,
00:24:32.400 Israel,
00:24:32.880 what the hell
00:24:33.280 are you doing?
00:24:34.640 These Iranians
00:24:35.440 are negotiating
00:24:36.080 with us
00:24:36.620 in good faith
00:24:37.560 to get some
00:24:38.920 kind of a nuclear
00:24:39.580 deal
00:24:40.100 and then you're
00:24:41.280 just attacking
00:24:41.960 them?
00:24:42.600 Well,
00:24:42.880 that's no fair.
00:24:44.340 Stop that.
00:24:45.920 Am I right?
00:24:47.280 Two years ago,
00:24:48.840 correct me if I'm
00:24:49.500 wrong,
00:24:49.880 two years ago
00:24:50.460 Europe would have
00:24:51.060 said,
00:24:51.600 Israel,
00:24:52.640 you know,
00:24:52.980 we're going to
00:24:53.480 have to give
00:24:54.860 you some tough
00:24:55.440 time about that.
00:24:56.860 Right?
00:24:57.260 Do you think
00:24:58.380 Europe is going
00:24:59.080 to give Israel
00:25:00.540 a tough time
00:25:01.380 about taking out
00:25:02.920 the source
00:25:03.540 of Putin's
00:25:04.620 drones?
00:25:06.020 Nope.
00:25:07.180 Nope.
00:25:08.880 This was
00:25:09.820 free money.
00:25:12.480 This was so
00:25:13.220 free money.
00:25:14.620 Israel just
00:25:15.420 had a total
00:25:16.300 free punch
00:25:17.180 and they
00:25:18.200 took it.
00:25:19.220 My God.
00:25:21.400 Are you
00:25:22.300 impressed?
00:25:24.980 You know,
00:25:25.820 when you watch
00:25:26.300 the Ukrainians
00:25:27.920 and the
00:25:28.380 NATO
00:25:28.800 and the
00:25:29.320 U.S.,
00:25:30.000 you have
00:25:30.380 lots of,
00:25:32.280 you know,
00:25:32.680 maybe this
00:25:33.200 was good,
00:25:33.640 maybe bad.
00:25:34.360 It's easy
00:25:34.720 to criticize
00:25:35.260 both sides.
00:25:37.040 But what
00:25:37.660 is there to
00:25:38.180 criticize about
00:25:38.900 this?
00:25:40.320 Exactly
00:25:40.800 Lexington
00:25:41.420 land.
00:25:42.120 Never let
00:25:42.600 a crisis
00:25:43.060 go to
00:25:43.540 waste.
00:25:43.960 I
00:25:44.060 actually,
00:25:44.460 I almost
00:25:45.100 tweeted
00:25:45.420 that and
00:25:45.900 deleted it.
00:25:46.500 I had it
00:25:46.820 half written
00:25:47.480 and I
00:25:48.460 decided not
00:25:49.180 to say it.
00:25:50.360 But yes,
00:25:51.800 Israel said,
00:25:52.940 they're in the
00:25:53.960 middle of a big
00:25:54.480 crisis.
00:25:54.820 We can
00:25:55.180 just take
00:25:55.540 out these
00:25:55.880 factories and
00:25:56.440 everybody's
00:25:56.840 just going to
00:25:57.200 say,
00:25:57.680 okay.
00:25:58.860 And I
00:25:59.340 think that's
00:25:59.820 what's
00:26:00.000 happening.
00:26:00.920 I think it
00:26:01.580 was just a
00:26:01.980 free punch and
00:26:02.560 they took
00:26:02.880 it.
00:26:05.460 Iran said
00:26:06.120 no damage.
00:26:07.340 Yeah,
00:26:07.660 I saw the
00:26:08.420 videos of
00:26:09.980 the no
00:26:10.540 damage.
00:26:11.900 It was a
00:26:12.320 pretty big
00:26:12.680 fireball for
00:26:13.400 no damage.
00:26:15.220 But on
00:26:16.320 the other
00:26:16.580 hand,
00:26:17.020 they could
00:26:17.400 come back
00:26:17.780 and get
00:26:18.040 them.
00:26:19.600 On
00:26:20.040 YouTube,
00:26:20.840 somebody's
00:26:21.160 comparing me
00:26:21.740 to Bill
00:26:22.080 Crystal.
00:26:23.500 Yeah.
00:26:24.740 Yeah,
00:26:25.180 that's a
00:26:25.600 good comparison.
00:26:28.300 Bill
00:26:28.600 Crystal and
00:26:29.200 me,
00:26:30.340 we're like
00:26:30.780 that.
00:26:32.100 Same
00:26:32.600 opinions on
00:26:33.180 everything.
00:26:34.980 See,
00:26:35.320 simulation,
00:26:36.040 they could
00:26:36.260 have their
00:26:36.560 own,
00:26:37.160 you can
00:26:37.640 have your
00:26:37.920 own reality
00:26:39.660 about that.
00:26:41.620 All right.
00:26:42.220 I don't
00:26:47.560 know if
00:26:47.780 you heard
00:26:48.040 this story
00:26:48.520 or how
00:26:48.840 old it
00:26:49.380 is.
00:26:49.700 Somebody
00:26:50.020 can tell
00:26:50.400 me how
00:26:50.740 old this
00:26:51.160 story is.
00:26:51.960 How old
00:26:52.440 is the
00:26:52.760 story about
00:26:53.300 Conor
00:26:53.740 McGregor
00:26:54.280 being hit
00:26:55.360 by a
00:26:55.720 car while
00:26:56.240 he was
00:26:56.480 riding his
00:26:56.940 bicycle?
00:26:57.520 He's
00:26:57.720 okay.
00:26:58.740 He wasn't
00:26:59.440 injured.
00:27:01.420 How old
00:27:02.020 is that
00:27:02.280 story?
00:27:04.020 Was that
00:27:04.580 just this
00:27:05.000 week?
00:27:05.500 I only saw
00:27:06.260 the video
00:27:06.600 this week,
00:27:07.140 but I
00:27:07.880 had a
00:27:08.100 feeling
00:27:08.380 two weeks
00:27:10.240 ago.
00:27:10.920 Oh,
00:27:11.220 it's fairly
00:27:11.660 new.
00:27:12.220 So here's
00:27:12.700 what happened.
00:27:13.280 Conor
00:27:13.560 McGregor,
00:27:14.080 if you
00:27:14.280 don't
00:27:14.440 know,
00:27:15.360 one of
00:27:16.800 the top
00:27:18.060 or at
00:27:18.420 least the
00:27:18.720 most famous
00:27:19.240 MMA
00:27:19.660 fighters.
00:27:21.020 So the
00:27:21.620 last guy
00:27:22.160 you would
00:27:22.400 ever want
00:27:22.780 to get
00:27:23.020 in a
00:27:23.300 fight
00:27:23.540 with
00:27:23.900 would be
00:27:25.320 Conor
00:27:25.640 McGregor.
00:27:27.180 Am I
00:27:27.700 right?
00:27:28.440 Like,
00:27:28.740 you would
00:27:28.940 never want
00:27:29.360 to make
00:27:29.600 this guy
00:27:30.060 angry.
00:27:31.600 Well,
00:27:31.820 here's what
00:27:32.120 happened.
00:27:32.500 He was out
00:27:32.840 riding his
00:27:33.340 bike,
00:27:34.280 presumably
00:27:34.620 working out,
00:27:35.720 and there
00:27:36.520 was some
00:27:36.760 kind of
00:27:36.980 blind spot
00:27:37.540 because of
00:27:37.860 the sun,
00:27:38.340 and the
00:27:38.540 car came
00:27:38.920 around the
00:27:39.220 corner and
00:27:39.580 just took
00:27:40.260 him out.
00:27:40.580 He just
00:27:41.600 took out
00:27:42.580 the bike
00:27:42.940 and destroyed
00:27:43.540 it.
00:27:44.660 Now,
00:27:44.900 here's the
00:27:45.260 best part
00:27:45.700 of the
00:27:45.920 story.
00:27:47.500 How many
00:27:48.180 of you
00:27:48.460 could have
00:27:48.800 survived
00:27:49.440 being hit
00:27:50.380 by a car
00:27:51.060 at full
00:27:52.200 speed
00:27:52.700 on a
00:27:53.820 bicycle?
00:27:55.340 How many
00:27:55.960 of you
00:27:56.180 could survive
00:27:56.740 that?
00:27:58.300 So
00:27:58.460 McCotter
00:27:59.600 apparently
00:28:00.400 saw the
00:28:01.320 impending
00:28:03.020 thing before
00:28:05.020 he had
00:28:07.060 time to
00:28:07.460 act,
00:28:07.780 and I
00:28:08.640 think he
00:28:09.000 jumped
00:28:09.280 off the
00:28:09.700 bike,
00:28:11.140 probably
00:28:11.500 did some
00:28:12.320 acrobatic
00:28:12.960 rolls across
00:28:13.720 the car,
00:28:14.880 and landed
00:28:16.060 properly.
00:28:17.460 Now,
00:28:17.640 not at his
00:28:18.160 feet,
00:28:18.820 but he
00:28:19.100 said he
00:28:19.380 knew how
00:28:19.700 to land.
00:28:21.020 That man
00:28:21.740 could take
00:28:22.180 a hit.
00:28:23.240 Oh,
00:28:23.760 my God,
00:28:24.300 was that the
00:28:24.820 most interesting
00:28:25.780 story?
00:28:26.200 But it gets
00:28:26.540 better.
00:28:28.480 It gets
00:28:28.900 better.
00:28:29.680 The guy
00:28:30.080 who hit him,
00:28:30.680 of course,
00:28:31.060 didn't know
00:28:31.460 who he
00:28:31.800 hit.
00:28:33.740 How would
00:28:34.360 you like to
00:28:34.800 be the guy
00:28:35.320 who just
00:28:35.740 realized he
00:28:36.800 just took
00:28:37.520 out somebody,
00:28:39.060 you don't
00:28:39.460 know who
00:28:39.780 it is,
00:28:40.080 and you're
00:28:40.220 like,
00:28:40.380 oh,
00:28:40.480 my God,
00:28:40.840 my God.
00:28:41.660 The first
00:28:42.120 thing you
00:28:42.420 find out
00:28:42.920 is that
00:28:43.940 he's
00:28:47.500 perfectly
00:28:47.940 okay.
00:28:49.540 So your
00:28:49.940 first impression
00:28:50.640 is,
00:28:50.920 oh,
00:28:51.900 thank goodness,
00:28:53.540 he's
00:28:53.980 perfectly
00:28:54.540 healthy.
00:28:56.300 The second
00:28:57.120 thing you
00:28:57.540 find out
00:28:58.020 is it's
00:28:58.460 Conor
00:28:58.800 McGregor.
00:29:01.960 Do you
00:29:02.500 think he
00:29:02.760 was worried?
00:29:03.260 So it
00:29:06.760 gets better
00:29:07.260 because Conor
00:29:08.740 takes out
00:29:09.180 his phone,
00:29:10.200 so you're
00:29:10.780 seeing some
00:29:11.320 of the
00:29:11.520 aftermath,
00:29:12.220 including his
00:29:12.760 conversation
00:29:13.320 with the
00:29:13.640 guy who
00:29:13.880 hit him.
00:29:14.680 Just
00:29:15.140 perfect.
00:29:16.120 Just
00:29:16.340 perfect.
00:29:17.620 The guy
00:29:18.320 who hit
00:29:18.640 him looked
00:29:19.680 so frightened,
00:29:21.800 I've never
00:29:22.340 seen anybody
00:29:22.940 look more
00:29:23.400 frightened.
00:29:24.140 He was
00:29:24.320 just like
00:29:25.600 this.
00:29:26.700 And then
00:29:27.080 he offers
00:29:27.760 him a
00:29:28.120 ride,
00:29:28.820 offers Conor
00:29:29.440 McGregor
00:29:30.140 a ride.
00:29:30.560 He says,
00:29:31.300 I could
00:29:32.180 put your
00:29:32.540 bike in
00:29:33.040 the back
00:29:33.640 and give
00:29:34.740 you a
00:29:35.040 ride.
00:29:35.960 And Conor's
00:29:36.600 like,
00:29:36.880 yeah,
00:29:37.140 I need a
00:29:37.660 ride.
00:29:38.100 Yeah,
00:29:38.240 that'd be
00:29:38.480 great.
00:29:40.200 So then
00:29:40.760 Conor
00:29:41.020 McGregor is
00:29:41.560 doing a
00:29:41.900 selfie,
00:29:42.500 you know,
00:29:42.680 a video
00:29:43.040 selfie in
00:29:44.140 the car,
00:29:44.600 and he's
00:29:44.800 describing
00:29:45.240 what happens.
00:29:46.300 And then
00:29:46.680 he turns
00:29:47.380 the camera
00:29:47.800 to show
00:29:48.180 the guy
00:29:48.520 who's
00:29:48.700 driving
00:29:49.060 him.
00:29:50.080 He goes,
00:29:50.400 oh,
00:29:50.580 luckily he
00:29:52.720 landed well,
00:29:53.540 and he's
00:29:53.900 giving me
00:29:54.260 a ride.
00:29:54.900 And he
00:29:55.120 shows the
00:29:55.460 guy,
00:29:55.660 and the
00:29:55.780 guy's
00:29:56.000 like,
00:29:56.160 because I
00:29:58.680 have to
00:29:59.040 think he
00:30:00.260 probably all
00:30:01.000 the time
00:30:01.420 thought he
00:30:01.820 was like
00:30:02.160 five seconds
00:30:02.880 from being
00:30:03.320 killed.
00:30:05.240 But what
00:30:05.960 he doesn't
00:30:06.420 understand is
00:30:07.980 if you're
00:30:08.340 Conor
00:30:08.640 McGregor,
00:30:10.120 and somebody
00:30:11.000 takes out
00:30:11.540 your bicycle
00:30:12.140 on a
00:30:12.420 highway,
00:30:13.180 and you
00:30:14.240 acrobatically
00:30:15.220 survive,
00:30:16.440 that was a
00:30:17.340 good day.
00:30:18.600 That wasn't
00:30:19.340 a bad day.
00:30:20.560 That was a
00:30:20.940 good day.
00:30:22.220 He got a
00:30:22.800 great story
00:30:23.380 out of it.
00:30:25.320 I think
00:30:25.740 he scratched
00:30:26.220 his ass
00:30:26.640 or something.
00:30:27.160 That was
00:30:27.360 the worst
00:30:27.680 of it.
00:30:29.380 Got a
00:30:29.920 great story
00:30:30.400 out of it.
00:30:31.460 Did exactly
00:30:32.720 what you
00:30:33.740 would want
00:30:34.260 to hope
00:30:34.780 two people
00:30:35.740 would do
00:30:36.080 in that
00:30:36.340 situation,
00:30:36.980 right?
00:30:37.560 The guy
00:30:38.120 who hit
00:30:39.320 him didn't
00:30:40.420 seem like
00:30:40.800 it was
00:30:41.020 his fault,
00:30:41.840 because there
00:30:42.240 was a
00:30:42.520 blind spot
00:30:42.940 there.
00:30:43.640 And even
00:30:43.980 Conor said
00:30:44.520 that.
00:30:45.160 So the
00:30:45.440 two of
00:30:45.700 them
00:30:45.900 completely
00:30:47.020 reached a
00:30:47.980 non-angry
00:30:49.440 resolution in
00:30:51.660 which they
00:30:52.220 were helping
00:30:52.880 each other.
00:30:54.200 It was just
00:30:54.760 the coolest
00:30:55.160 story.
00:30:56.240 Just the
00:30:56.640 coolest
00:30:56.840 story.
00:30:58.260 Yeah.
00:31:00.060 Anyway,
00:31:00.700 I liked
00:31:01.240 it.
00:31:03.140 I saw
00:31:03.740 Jesse
00:31:04.240 Waters
00:31:04.620 talking about
00:31:05.460 Hunter,
00:31:07.240 and I
00:31:07.800 don't know,
00:31:08.100 is there
00:31:08.340 something new
00:31:08.860 on this
00:31:09.160 story,
00:31:09.520 or is he
00:31:09.900 just recapping
00:31:10.560 it?
00:31:10.780 Because this
00:31:11.120 is in the
00:31:11.420 news today.
00:31:12.060 I'm not
00:31:12.300 sure why it
00:31:12.680 was new.
00:31:13.840 But the
00:31:14.200 FBI has
00:31:15.000 recordings of
00:31:15.980 Hunter talking
00:31:17.440 to what
00:31:18.700 Hunter called
00:31:19.720 the effing
00:31:20.260 spy chief of
00:31:21.140 China.
00:31:21.460 and there
00:31:22.940 was this
00:31:23.220 one guy
00:31:24.540 who they
00:31:25.260 thought was
00:31:25.700 a spy
00:31:26.140 called
00:31:26.540 Patrick
00:31:27.000 Ho.
00:31:28.700 And this
00:31:29.260 Patrick Ho
00:31:29.860 was part
00:31:31.300 of the
00:31:31.600 money-making
00:31:32.280 scheme in
00:31:33.940 which Hunter
00:31:34.600 and presumably
00:31:35.320 Joe Biden
00:31:35.860 made money
00:31:36.380 from China
00:31:36.900 going through
00:31:39.360 this Patrick
00:31:39.900 Ho.
00:31:40.700 And I read
00:31:41.720 the whole
00:31:42.020 story and
00:31:42.560 the only
00:31:42.960 commentary I
00:31:43.700 have on
00:31:44.060 it is,
00:31:44.460 Joe Biden
00:31:47.760 said that
00:31:48.460 Hunter Biden
00:31:49.480 was the
00:31:49.940 smartest person
00:31:50.720 he knew.
00:31:52.080 And you
00:31:52.420 doubted that,
00:31:53.040 right?
00:31:53.800 You doubted
00:31:54.460 it.
00:31:56.060 But he's
00:31:57.640 the only
00:31:57.920 person I've
00:31:58.600 ever heard
00:31:59.000 of who
00:31:59.380 ever made
00:32:00.240 money from
00:32:00.780 a hoe.
00:32:04.740 That's all
00:32:05.280 I have to
00:32:05.640 say.
00:32:06.580 He might be
00:32:07.400 the smartest
00:32:07.820 person I
00:32:08.360 know, too.
00:32:09.240 I don't know
00:32:09.720 anybody who
00:32:10.160 ever made
00:32:10.520 money on a
00:32:10.980 hoe, unless
00:32:11.820 they were a
00:32:12.160 pimp.
00:32:13.000 But he
00:32:13.480 wasn't a
00:32:13.820 pimp.
00:32:15.020 So,
00:32:16.140 smartest
00:32:16.980 person I
00:32:18.380 know.
00:32:20.960 But it
00:32:21.520 makes you
00:32:21.880 wonder, if
00:32:22.580 we have
00:32:22.980 these
00:32:23.260 recordings,
00:32:24.560 and we
00:32:25.000 know every
00:32:25.480 part of
00:32:25.820 the story,
00:32:27.740 how is it
00:32:28.460 Joe Biden
00:32:29.420 still the
00:32:29.880 president?
00:32:32.820 It's so
00:32:34.060 weird that
00:32:35.440 he's still
00:32:35.840 the president.
00:32:36.460 And I
00:32:36.660 wonder if
00:32:37.840 we're, or
00:32:38.480 most of
00:32:38.880 us, are
00:32:40.840 living in
00:32:41.340 the same
00:32:41.660 kind of
00:32:42.000 cognitive
00:32:42.460 dissonance
00:32:43.160 things that
00:32:44.300 the TDS
00:32:45.560 people were,
00:32:46.840 the Trump
00:32:47.320 derangement
00:32:47.860 syndrome.
00:32:48.500 Because the
00:32:48.900 thing that
00:32:49.240 surprises the
00:32:50.480 Trump haters
00:32:51.140 the most is
00:32:52.660 that Trump is
00:32:53.200 not in
00:32:53.600 jail.
00:32:54.780 Right?
00:32:56.120 Now, the
00:32:56.840 reason Trump
00:32:57.420 is not in
00:32:57.940 jail is the
00:32:59.360 total lack of
00:33:00.240 committing crimes
00:33:01.120 that are
00:33:01.580 jailable.
00:33:04.800 Maybe it has
00:33:05.600 something to do
00:33:06.160 with not
00:33:06.460 committing any
00:33:07.040 jailable
00:33:07.440 offenses.
00:33:07.820 But they
00:33:09.160 can't see
00:33:09.600 that.
00:33:10.520 To them, he
00:33:11.160 was a
00:33:11.940 traitor, ran
00:33:12.720 an insurrection,
00:33:14.260 did all
00:33:14.680 kinds of
00:33:15.040 things.
00:33:15.620 Are we
00:33:15.940 doing the
00:33:16.340 same thing
00:33:16.740 with Biden?
00:33:17.960 Or is
00:33:18.560 that how
00:33:18.940 they get
00:33:19.220 away with
00:33:19.640 it?
00:33:20.400 They make
00:33:20.840 you think,
00:33:21.960 well, maybe
00:33:22.320 you're not
00:33:22.620 right.
00:33:23.540 Because we're
00:33:23.980 acting like
00:33:24.520 it's not
00:33:24.860 right.
00:33:25.560 We're treating
00:33:26.260 it like it
00:33:26.800 doesn't exist.
00:33:28.060 So maybe
00:33:28.460 you're not
00:33:28.860 right.
00:33:29.680 Maybe you've
00:33:30.100 got a little
00:33:30.420 derangement
00:33:30.980 syndrome there,
00:33:31.700 Scott.
00:33:33.380 I don't
00:33:34.040 even know.
00:33:34.520 If I'm
00:33:36.860 being dead
00:33:37.400 honest, I
00:33:38.860 don't know.
00:33:40.120 Because that's
00:33:40.860 the nature of
00:33:41.420 confirmation bias,
00:33:42.400 right?
00:33:42.960 The nature of
00:33:43.580 cognitive dissonance
00:33:44.440 is the person
00:33:45.440 who has it
00:33:46.200 doesn't know.
00:33:48.760 So what if
00:33:49.640 I have it?
00:33:51.220 What if the
00:33:52.100 Bidens didn't
00:33:52.740 do anything
00:33:53.260 shady?
00:33:54.480 And it just
00:33:54.920 looks exactly
00:33:55.680 like that in
00:33:56.520 every way to
00:33:58.320 me and people
00:34:00.000 who saw the
00:34:00.520 same stuff I
00:34:01.120 saw?
00:34:01.780 Is that
00:34:02.180 possible?
00:34:03.640 Because you
00:34:04.500 don't trust
00:34:05.460 me, there's
00:34:05.880 nobody who
00:34:06.440 has Trump
00:34:06.940 derangement
00:34:07.500 syndrome who
00:34:08.760 thinks they
00:34:09.260 have Trump
00:34:09.640 derangement
00:34:10.140 syndrome.
00:34:11.180 They all
00:34:11.820 think they're
00:34:12.160 just looking
00:34:12.860 at the facts
00:34:13.820 and reaching
00:34:14.420 a decision.
00:34:15.620 Well, that's
00:34:15.980 what I think
00:34:16.360 I'm doing.
00:34:17.680 Why am I
00:34:18.440 right and
00:34:18.780 they're wrong?
00:34:21.540 Remember my
00:34:22.360 rule about
00:34:23.020 knowing who's
00:34:23.680 got cognitive
00:34:24.420 dissonance.
00:34:26.140 You look for
00:34:26.960 someone who
00:34:27.300 has the
00:34:27.580 trigger and
00:34:29.860 they exhibit
00:34:30.840 the tells.
00:34:32.120 I'm not sure
00:34:32.680 I see any,
00:34:33.280 but then
00:34:34.340 maybe I
00:34:34.720 wouldn't.
00:34:36.000 Yeah, the
00:34:36.360 word salad.
00:34:37.540 Have I
00:34:38.080 exhibited any
00:34:38.900 word salad
00:34:39.600 about Biden?
00:34:42.180 Well, you
00:34:42.780 wouldn't know
00:34:43.220 because if
00:34:43.780 you're on the
00:34:44.160 same page,
00:34:45.540 it would look
00:34:45.840 like it made
00:34:46.240 sense to you.
00:34:50.120 Anyway,
00:34:51.040 we'll keep
00:34:53.240 an eye on
00:34:53.700 that because
00:34:54.120 it looks like
00:34:54.620 nobody cares.
00:34:55.280 So Trump
00:34:56.200 went after
00:34:56.640 DeSantis a
00:34:57.460 little bit for
00:34:58.020 closing Florida
00:34:59.060 when apparently
00:35:00.340 other governors
00:35:01.400 did not.
00:35:02.040 that was a
00:35:03.080 pretty good
00:35:03.620 offense.
00:35:06.880 So obviously
00:35:08.400 Trump is trying
00:35:09.060 to degrade
00:35:10.120 DeSantis'
00:35:11.420 presidential
00:35:12.260 possibilities,
00:35:14.340 but that's
00:35:15.660 an interesting
00:35:16.240 attack, isn't
00:35:16.980 it?
00:35:17.760 Because Trump
00:35:18.380 never supported
00:35:19.460 lockdowns,
00:35:20.840 apparently.
00:35:21.980 So he can
00:35:22.580 look at the
00:35:23.000 governors that
00:35:23.680 didn't lock
00:35:24.200 down and
00:35:25.260 he can compare
00:35:25.920 them to
00:35:26.320 DeSantis and
00:35:27.820 suddenly DeSantis
00:35:28.680 doesn't look so
00:35:29.460 good because
00:35:30.520 he's reframed
00:35:31.560 him.
00:35:32.040 He's
00:35:32.560 reframed it
00:35:33.260 from comparing
00:35:33.920 DeSantis to
00:35:34.760 DeSantis to
00:35:36.260 comparing him
00:35:36.880 to governors
00:35:37.520 who didn't
00:35:38.720 close down.
00:35:40.220 That's a
00:35:40.940 pretty good
00:35:41.500 political
00:35:42.060 approach,
00:35:44.060 just from a
00:35:44.840 persuasion
00:35:45.300 perspective.
00:35:45.960 Pretty good.
00:35:46.900 Pretty good.
00:35:47.760 Because he
00:35:48.340 understands his
00:35:49.080 base doesn't
00:35:49.740 like the
00:35:50.180 lockdowns.
00:35:52.000 He never
00:35:52.700 supported them
00:35:53.420 or mandates
00:35:54.880 and DeSantis
00:35:56.460 did for a
00:35:57.260 little while.
00:35:57.880 Not for long.
00:35:58.480 So we
00:35:59.380 still give
00:35:59.840 DeSantis
00:36:00.240 credit for
00:36:00.940 being one
00:36:03.060 of the
00:36:03.300 more right
00:36:03.720 people.
00:36:05.480 But then
00:36:06.000 Trump also
00:36:06.760 apparently
00:36:08.000 there's a
00:36:08.340 story that
00:36:08.840 Nikki Haley
00:36:10.060 called Trump
00:36:10.900 and said
00:36:12.060 she's
00:36:12.400 considering
00:36:12.880 running
00:36:13.400 and in
00:36:14.500 the primaries
00:36:15.060 against him.
00:36:16.320 What do you
00:36:16.940 think Trump
00:36:17.400 said when
00:36:18.260 Nikki Haley
00:36:18.820 said she's
00:36:19.420 considering
00:36:19.860 running
00:36:20.220 against him?
00:36:20.920 what would
00:36:22.900 be his
00:36:23.360 smartest
00:36:23.740 response?
00:36:25.640 Go for
00:36:26.380 it.
00:36:27.140 Because the
00:36:27.780 more people
00:36:28.220 in the
00:36:28.520 primaries
00:36:29.020 the more
00:36:29.380 likely he
00:36:29.880 wins.
00:36:31.500 Because he's
00:36:32.280 going to
00:36:32.500 keep his
00:36:32.840 25%.
00:36:33.840 So if the
00:36:35.460 other people
00:36:35.920 can split
00:36:36.540 what's left
00:36:37.060 over,
00:36:37.960 he's the
00:36:39.200 nominee again.
00:36:40.320 Worked the
00:36:40.780 first time,
00:36:41.280 why wouldn't
00:36:41.640 it work
00:36:41.960 again?
00:36:43.540 Yeah.
00:36:44.280 So that was
00:36:44.940 exactly the
00:36:45.520 right answer.
00:36:46.820 So he's
00:36:47.380 definitely right
00:36:48.100 on his
00:36:48.800 attack for
00:36:49.380 DeSantis
00:36:49.780 in terms of
00:36:50.580 persuasion-wise
00:36:51.460 it's a good
00:36:51.920 approach.
00:36:52.880 And he's
00:36:53.460 definitely
00:36:53.740 right strategically
00:36:54.640 telling Nikki
00:36:55.860 Haley,
00:36:56.640 yeah,
00:36:56.880 go for
00:36:57.220 it.
00:36:59.160 Good
00:36:59.760 strategy.
00:37:01.600 But then I
00:37:02.480 saw a video
00:37:03.000 in which he
00:37:03.560 was talking
00:37:04.060 about the
00:37:05.300 energy policy,
00:37:06.880 the Biden
00:37:07.280 energy policy,
00:37:08.800 and it
00:37:10.100 sounded like
00:37:10.980 he was
00:37:12.800 saying that
00:37:13.520 there's like
00:37:14.040 these stupid
00:37:15.220 energy things
00:37:16.200 and good
00:37:16.700 energy things.
00:37:17.840 And the
00:37:18.240 good energy
00:37:18.720 things were
00:37:19.440 the fossil
00:37:20.260 fuel types
00:37:20.980 and the
00:37:21.700 bad energy
00:37:22.280 things that
00:37:22.760 were silly.
00:37:23.340 I don't
00:37:23.520 think he
00:37:23.820 named them
00:37:24.260 by name,
00:37:24.740 but it
00:37:25.080 sounded like
00:37:25.560 he was
00:37:25.760 going after
00:37:26.260 solar and
00:37:27.220 wind power.
00:37:29.480 Right?
00:37:30.100 That was
00:37:30.720 the implication.
00:37:32.280 Now,
00:37:32.580 what do you
00:37:32.820 think of
00:37:33.120 his messaging?
00:37:34.420 His messaging
00:37:35.060 is fossil
00:37:36.220 fuel is
00:37:36.680 good,
00:37:38.240 alternative
00:37:39.420 things can
00:37:40.860 never be
00:37:41.320 good.
00:37:42.340 They're not
00:37:43.020 good and
00:37:43.460 will never
00:37:43.820 be good.
00:37:45.180 Is that
00:37:45.640 good messaging
00:37:47.020 or bad?
00:37:47.480 It's an
00:37:48.740 F.
00:37:49.580 It's a
00:37:50.120 fail.
00:37:52.120 If I'm
00:37:52.780 going to
00:37:52.960 grade this,
00:37:53.640 it's not
00:37:54.000 even a
00:37:54.800 D plus.
00:37:56.380 This is
00:37:56.740 just a
00:37:57.080 total failure.
00:37:58.700 Here's what
00:37:59.780 a good
00:38:00.180 message for
00:38:01.160 a Republican
00:38:01.700 candidate would
00:38:02.420 look like.
00:38:04.220 You know,
00:38:05.060 there's something
00:38:05.580 we can all
00:38:06.140 come together
00:38:06.740 on,
00:38:07.160 on energy.
00:38:09.600 It used
00:38:10.060 to be there
00:38:10.400 was a lot
00:38:10.740 of disagreement
00:38:11.300 on nuclear
00:38:11.960 energy,
00:38:12.360 but with
00:38:14.320 the
00:38:14.580 generation
00:38:15.140 three,
00:38:15.800 which has
00:38:16.100 never had
00:38:16.560 any deaths
00:38:18.040 or problems,
00:38:19.760 or big
00:38:20.500 problems,
00:38:21.280 and with
00:38:22.160 the fact
00:38:22.480 that we
00:38:22.740 now can
00:38:23.660 store the
00:38:24.800 spend fuel
00:38:26.060 on site,
00:38:27.740 so we don't
00:38:28.160 have to
00:38:28.440 transport it.
00:38:29.320 That's,
00:38:29.740 you know,
00:38:30.200 sort of where
00:38:30.720 the industry
00:38:31.200 went.
00:38:32.040 And now
00:38:32.660 that the
00:38:33.120 newer generations
00:38:33.860 of nuclear
00:38:34.580 could use
00:38:35.780 some of that
00:38:36.260 waste as
00:38:36.800 their fuel,
00:38:37.760 could use
00:38:38.180 some of the
00:38:38.460 waste as
00:38:38.900 their fuel,
00:38:40.220 we should
00:38:40.800 definitely come
00:38:41.840 together on
00:38:42.400 nuclear and
00:38:43.220 do it as
00:38:43.580 quickly as
00:38:44.080 possible.
00:38:45.220 Now,
00:38:45.800 I think we
00:38:46.340 should also
00:38:46.820 go heavy on
00:38:47.800 fossil fuel,
00:38:50.920 unless and
00:38:51.680 until we have
00:38:52.300 alternatives,
00:38:52.980 but I don't
00:38:53.400 see them
00:38:53.780 happening quickly.
00:38:56.020 However,
00:38:56.900 I also agree
00:38:57.740 that the free
00:38:58.380 market should
00:38:59.480 continue every
00:39:00.700 other technological
00:39:02.400 innovation,
00:39:03.580 because there
00:39:04.220 might be
00:39:04.540 something,
00:39:05.200 some change,
00:39:06.340 you know,
00:39:06.660 you might have
00:39:07.140 better batteries
00:39:07.800 or better
00:39:08.280 solar panels
00:39:08.960 or better
00:39:10.480 windmills,
00:39:11.140 so that'd
00:39:11.820 be great.
00:39:13.380 At the
00:39:13.840 moment,
00:39:14.220 we think we
00:39:14.740 need as
00:39:15.080 much fossil
00:39:15.640 fuel as
00:39:16.060 possible to
00:39:16.760 give America
00:39:17.400 its independence,
00:39:18.940 economic growth,
00:39:21.620 as well as
00:39:22.280 being secure
00:39:23.780 from our
00:39:24.320 enemies.
00:39:25.120 In the long
00:39:25.780 run,
00:39:26.080 we like
00:39:26.420 technological
00:39:27.560 innovation,
00:39:28.860 but we don't
00:39:29.460 want to
00:39:29.820 over-subsidize
00:39:30.920 it.
00:39:31.520 That's a
00:39:31.880 problem.
00:39:32.460 We don't
00:39:32.720 want to
00:39:32.980 over-subsidize
00:39:33.980 things.
00:39:34.640 Let the
00:39:34.920 free market
00:39:35.440 do what it
00:39:36.020 does as
00:39:36.880 much as
00:39:37.260 possible.
00:39:37.580 Now,
00:39:39.700 is there
00:39:41.200 any reason
00:39:41.800 that he
00:39:42.260 has to
00:39:42.680 not mention
00:39:43.460 nuclear,
00:39:44.480 the one
00:39:44.900 thing we
00:39:45.300 all agree
00:39:45.740 on,
00:39:46.380 or we're
00:39:47.460 coming close
00:39:48.040 to it?
00:39:48.380 That's the
00:39:48.800 one I'd
00:39:49.100 play on.
00:39:50.420 And why
00:39:51.140 can't he
00:39:51.560 say that
00:39:52.040 the other
00:39:52.380 stuff is
00:39:52.800 fine as
00:39:53.460 long as
00:39:53.780 we don't
00:39:54.240 over-subsidize
00:39:55.120 it?
00:39:56.820 It's like
00:39:57.460 he's trying
00:39:57.920 not to win
00:39:58.560 with that
00:39:59.060 message.
00:40:00.220 I mean,
00:40:00.380 it looks
00:40:00.760 like virtue
00:40:02.580 signaling.
00:40:02.980 I just
00:40:03.860 think he
00:40:05.700 doesn't need
00:40:06.260 that much
00:40:06.820 nuance to
00:40:08.140 make it
00:40:08.500 perfect.
00:40:10.160 Because here
00:40:11.400 are the
00:40:11.600 things that
00:40:12.140 we should
00:40:12.500 all be
00:40:12.880 agreeing on.
00:40:13.940 We should
00:40:14.320 be agreeing
00:40:14.840 on immigration,
00:40:16.360 have a
00:40:16.720 strong border
00:40:17.300 security,
00:40:18.020 but have
00:40:18.260 some bipartisan
00:40:19.120 group of
00:40:20.660 economists decide
00:40:22.180 who to let
00:40:22.880 in and when.
00:40:24.000 So you've
00:40:24.300 got some
00:40:24.580 independence
00:40:25.100 about that
00:40:25.720 decision,
00:40:26.240 but be
00:40:27.360 secure on
00:40:27.940 the border.
00:40:29.400 Everybody
00:40:29.820 would agree
00:40:30.300 with that.
00:40:32.120 So he
00:40:32.960 has all
00:40:33.320 these
00:40:33.520 topics
00:40:33.980 from
00:40:34.340 education,
00:40:36.420 including
00:40:37.180 public
00:40:38.920 school
00:40:39.300 alternatives,
00:40:40.400 et cetera,
00:40:40.780 all kinds
00:40:41.540 of stuff
00:40:41.960 that he
00:40:42.640 could pick
00:40:43.080 off Democrats.
00:40:45.400 Let me
00:40:46.160 just give
00:40:46.760 you a
00:40:47.260 sort of
00:40:49.160 a mental
00:40:49.980 exercise.
00:40:53.660 Let's
00:40:54.120 say you
00:40:54.380 wanted to
00:40:54.880 pick off
00:40:55.260 some Democrats,
00:40:56.780 but you
00:40:57.120 didn't want
00:40:57.520 to lose
00:40:57.820 your base.
00:40:59.500 He could
00:40:59.860 definitely
00:41:00.200 pick some
00:41:00.660 off on
00:41:01.040 immigration,
00:41:01.520 just by
00:41:02.800 being
00:41:03.020 reasonable.
00:41:03.860 He could
00:41:04.160 definitely
00:41:04.440 pick him
00:41:04.840 off by
00:41:05.200 being
00:41:05.420 pro-nuclear
00:41:06.180 and pro-green
00:41:08.360 enough that
00:41:09.240 he's not
00:41:09.640 against it,
00:41:10.880 but also
00:41:11.500 wants to
00:41:12.120 make our
00:41:12.420 economy work
00:41:13.880 well.
00:41:14.360 I think he
00:41:15.120 could make
00:41:15.460 energy work.
00:41:16.220 I think he
00:41:16.560 could make
00:41:16.960 Ukraine something
00:41:18.580 we come
00:41:19.000 together on.
00:41:20.600 I think he
00:41:21.280 could pull
00:41:21.620 some Democrats
00:41:22.220 off of that
00:41:22.760 pile.
00:41:23.800 He has all
00:41:24.460 these issues,
00:41:25.060 even the
00:41:27.740 CRT and
00:41:28.480 transgender
00:41:28.900 stuff in
00:41:29.580 schools.
00:41:30.640 I think he
00:41:31.120 could pick
00:41:31.480 off Democrats
00:41:32.120 on that at
00:41:32.860 this point.
00:41:33.760 Not before,
00:41:34.520 but at this
00:41:34.920 point,
00:41:35.220 sure.
00:41:36.260 So he
00:41:36.740 has this
00:41:37.180 total ability
00:41:38.360 to take
00:41:38.820 10% of
00:41:39.500 the Democrats.
00:41:41.020 Totally.
00:41:42.920 And he
00:41:44.940 can mock
00:41:45.500 the January
00:41:46.060 6th thing
00:41:46.840 out of the
00:41:47.320 news if he
00:41:48.760 chooses to.
00:41:50.000 If every
00:41:50.660 time he's
00:41:51.040 asked about it
00:41:51.520 he goes,
00:41:52.200 all right,
00:41:52.560 let's be
00:41:52.940 serious.
00:41:53.380 Are you
00:41:54.880 really trying
00:41:55.440 to tell the
00:41:55.900 story that
00:41:56.340 Republicans
00:41:56.840 staged an
00:41:57.500 insurrection
00:41:57.940 without guns?
00:42:00.160 And then
00:42:00.520 don't even
00:42:00.920 answer any
00:42:01.440 other question.
00:42:02.300 I go,
00:42:02.560 but you
00:42:03.020 answer me
00:42:03.760 the question.
00:42:04.740 I know you
00:42:05.160 have lots of
00:42:05.660 questions for
00:42:06.200 me, but
00:42:06.600 honestly,
00:42:07.560 I'm actually
00:42:08.620 curious.
00:42:09.880 Do you
00:42:10.220 actually think
00:42:10.860 that's what
00:42:11.240 an insurrection
00:42:12.260 would look
00:42:12.680 like?
00:42:13.420 Do you
00:42:13.940 think I'm
00:42:14.340 so bad
00:42:14.880 at insurrections
00:42:15.740 that I
00:42:16.780 would think
00:42:17.140 that trespassing
00:42:18.000 for a day
00:42:18.520 without weapons
00:42:19.340 would conquer
00:42:20.620 the United
00:42:21.640 States?
00:42:22.060 How does
00:42:23.420 that even
00:42:23.820 make sense?
00:42:25.980 Right?
00:42:26.620 So every
00:42:28.920 attack on
00:42:30.160 Trump at
00:42:31.780 the moment
00:42:32.320 is completely
00:42:33.900 empty.
00:42:35.300 All he has
00:42:36.220 to do is
00:42:36.680 reframe them,
00:42:37.740 but so far
00:42:38.420 he's not.
00:42:39.860 So far he's
00:42:40.740 not.
00:42:41.360 He's not
00:42:41.940 taking any
00:42:42.600 of the free
00:42:43.000 money that
00:42:44.500 is available
00:42:45.880 now that
00:42:46.420 really wasn't
00:42:46.980 available in
00:42:47.440 2016 or
00:42:48.380 2020.
00:42:49.660 Because things
00:42:50.280 have changed,
00:42:51.300 right?
00:42:52.060 At this
00:42:52.660 point getting
00:42:53.260 both sides
00:42:54.680 to agree
00:42:55.800 on ending
00:42:56.360 the Ukraine
00:42:56.980 stuff,
00:42:57.740 you don't
00:42:58.280 think he
00:42:58.660 can pick
00:42:59.020 off people
00:42:59.440 on both
00:42:59.820 sides on
00:43:00.860 that issue?
00:43:01.980 We didn't
00:43:02.500 have that
00:43:02.880 issue before.
00:43:04.100 He could
00:43:04.400 definitely
00:43:04.680 get some.
00:43:05.560 Yeah.
00:43:07.820 So
00:43:08.300 Trump has
00:43:09.980 a super
00:43:10.400 highway to
00:43:10.980 win.
00:43:11.940 He just
00:43:12.300 has to
00:43:12.620 stay in
00:43:13.020 the middle
00:43:13.260 of the
00:43:13.480 highway
00:43:13.720 and not
00:43:14.260 say bad
00:43:15.640 framing for
00:43:16.680 topics that
00:43:17.960 he doesn't
00:43:18.300 need to frame
00:43:18.840 badly.
00:43:19.420 There's just
00:43:19.760 no reason.
00:43:20.160 But we'll
00:43:21.820 see what
00:43:22.100 he does.
00:43:22.720 So I'm
00:43:22.960 totally
00:43:23.260 unimpressed
00:43:23.940 by his
00:43:24.860 energy
00:43:25.220 take.
00:43:25.700 To me
00:43:25.920 that's
00:43:26.180 just a
00:43:26.660 failure.
00:43:28.040 Like I
00:43:28.380 can't give
00:43:28.760 it even
00:43:29.180 like nice
00:43:30.300 try.
00:43:31.440 I can't
00:43:32.120 even say
00:43:32.420 it's good
00:43:32.680 for the
00:43:32.940 base.
00:43:34.900 Really.
00:43:35.680 It's not
00:43:36.100 even good
00:43:36.400 for the
00:43:36.660 base.
00:43:37.460 It's like
00:43:37.760 just bad.
00:43:39.880 All right.
00:43:40.880 Here now
00:43:41.440 is something
00:43:41.840 you did
00:43:42.380 not know
00:43:43.000 about
00:43:43.620 viruses.
00:43:44.160 You've
00:43:46.660 heard of
00:43:46.980 measles
00:43:47.360 and I'm
00:43:48.780 old enough
00:43:49.260 to have
00:43:50.060 had
00:43:50.260 measles
00:43:50.680 before
00:43:51.100 there
00:43:51.360 were
00:43:51.640 vaccinations.
00:43:54.160 And here's
00:43:55.020 something I
00:43:55.420 learned today.
00:43:57.040 In 2019
00:43:58.040 so this is
00:43:59.540 an article
00:43:59.960 in WebMD
00:44:00.800 from 2019
00:44:01.540 one of the
00:44:02.780 things we
00:44:03.240 learned about
00:44:03.900 measles
00:44:04.520 that we
00:44:06.140 didn't know
00:44:06.740 for a
00:44:08.080 hundred years
00:44:08.700 how long
00:44:10.180 have we
00:44:10.460 known that
00:44:10.880 measles
00:44:11.220 existed?
00:44:12.620 Hundreds of
00:44:13.180 years.
00:44:14.160 Something like
00:44:14.980 that.
00:44:15.820 Here's
00:44:16.320 something you
00:44:16.720 didn't know.
00:44:18.820 A number
00:44:19.320 of studies
00:44:19.800 are showing
00:44:20.180 that the
00:44:20.540 measles
00:44:20.980 may have
00:44:21.940 wiped out
00:44:22.540 your body's
00:44:24.640 memory
00:44:25.280 for immunity
00:44:27.020 of other
00:44:27.880 things.
00:44:29.900 The measles
00:44:30.620 may have
00:44:31.300 wiped out
00:44:31.940 your immunity
00:44:33.180 for other
00:44:34.500 things.
00:44:35.960 And that's
00:44:36.640 something that
00:44:37.120 they're learning
00:44:37.640 just lately
00:44:38.860 after 50
00:44:41.580 years of
00:44:42.240 science.
00:44:42.680 so in
00:44:44.640 other words
00:44:45.120 there is
00:44:46.160 long
00:44:46.660 measles.
00:44:49.520 Long
00:44:50.000 measles
00:44:50.520 apparently
00:44:52.120 exist
00:44:52.880 because it
00:44:54.120 can take
00:44:54.440 out your
00:44:54.760 immunity to
00:44:55.300 other things
00:44:55.740 and then
00:44:56.080 those other
00:44:56.560 things get
00:44:57.020 you.
00:44:57.740 Now that's
00:44:58.500 something we
00:44:58.900 didn't know
00:44:59.220 for 50
00:44:59.700 years.
00:45:01.960 So what
00:45:02.600 do we know
00:45:02.980 about the
00:45:03.340 coronavirus?
00:45:03.680 Do you
00:45:05.060 think the
00:45:07.440 coronavirus could
00:45:08.360 take you out
00:45:08.940 like 50 years
00:45:10.160 from now we
00:45:10.540 could find out
00:45:11.040 oh it did
00:45:11.560 some bad
00:45:11.900 things that
00:45:12.260 we didn't
00:45:12.500 know?
00:45:13.420 What about
00:45:14.140 the vaccination
00:45:14.900 itself?
00:45:16.500 What about
00:45:16.900 that?
00:45:17.660 Do you
00:45:17.860 think in
00:45:18.180 50 years
00:45:18.760 we can
00:45:19.060 find out
00:45:19.500 it did
00:45:19.900 something to
00:45:20.400 us 50
00:45:20.820 years ago?
00:45:22.840 It all
00:45:23.560 seems possible
00:45:24.280 doesn't it?
00:45:25.380 Now does it
00:45:26.240 change your
00:45:26.720 mind that
00:45:27.540 we only
00:45:28.000 found out
00:45:28.520 how dangerous
00:45:29.180 measles is
00:45:29.980 in 2019?
00:45:33.740 2019.
00:45:35.220 And by the
00:45:35.820 way the
00:45:36.240 article the
00:45:37.220 people talking
00:45:37.860 about it
00:45:38.220 were Fauci.
00:45:39.280 Fauci was
00:45:40.920 in the
00:45:41.140 article and
00:45:42.560 Michael
00:45:43.020 Mina who
00:45:44.520 you knew
00:45:44.960 from the
00:45:46.100 pandemic
00:45:46.540 talking about
00:45:47.340 the absence
00:45:48.720 of fast
00:45:49.380 testing,
00:45:49.840 rapid testing.
00:45:51.020 So two of
00:45:51.460 the characters
00:45:51.940 who were
00:45:52.420 well known
00:45:52.880 from the
00:45:53.280 pandemic were
00:45:54.040 part of
00:45:54.560 this story
00:45:54.920 as well.
00:45:55.420 They were
00:45:55.580 the main
00:45:55.880 people in
00:45:56.280 the story.
00:45:58.080 So
00:45:58.340 interesting.
00:46:03.820 What is
00:46:04.640 your belief
00:46:05.440 about the
00:46:06.680 mainstream
00:46:07.400 opinion of
00:46:08.380 long COVID?
00:46:09.180 Not your
00:46:09.580 own opinion.
00:46:10.560 Not your
00:46:11.120 own opinion.
00:46:12.560 What do you
00:46:13.120 believe if you
00:46:14.020 were to
00:46:14.320 Google, what
00:46:15.360 would be the
00:46:15.840 front page of
00:46:16.660 Google results?
00:46:18.060 Not saying
00:46:18.640 it's true, I'm
00:46:20.000 just asking you
00:46:20.580 what would
00:46:20.880 appear.
00:46:22.060 Would it
00:46:22.420 say that
00:46:23.020 long COVID
00:46:23.900 is pretty
00:46:24.740 much a
00:46:25.800 thing?
00:46:26.260 Definitely.
00:46:27.180 Would it
00:46:27.580 say maybe
00:46:28.240 we're still
00:46:29.120 looking into
00:46:29.620 it?
00:46:30.300 Or would
00:46:30.680 it say,
00:46:31.180 you know,
00:46:32.180 I've got a
00:46:32.820 feeling this
00:46:33.260 isn't real.
00:46:33.760 All right,
00:46:36.720 the Google
00:46:37.140 search, and
00:46:39.180 again, I'm
00:46:39.780 not endorsing
00:46:41.100 this as being
00:46:41.840 correct.
00:46:43.160 If you just
00:46:44.060 Googled, you
00:46:44.660 would see that
00:46:45.240 long COVID is
00:46:46.100 very real.
00:46:47.260 That's their
00:46:47.680 claim, not
00:46:48.220 mine.
00:46:49.460 Very real.
00:46:51.260 And it's
00:46:51.940 kind of a
00:46:52.640 big deal.
00:46:53.720 Now, usually
00:46:54.360 it's something
00:46:55.060 that would
00:46:55.340 last months.
00:46:56.600 Now, what
00:46:56.940 percentage of
00:46:57.700 people, according
00:46:58.920 to the Google
00:46:59.640 front page,
00:47:01.540 not me, what
00:47:02.580 percentage of
00:47:03.340 people do
00:47:03.760 you think
00:47:04.040 experienced
00:47:04.620 long COVID,
00:47:06.160 which they
00:47:06.700 would define
00:47:07.180 as, let's
00:47:07.840 say, weeks
00:47:08.360 or months
00:47:08.940 of brain
00:47:09.720 fog and
00:47:10.580 fatigue?
00:47:12.560 Like 45%.
00:47:14.040 45%.
00:47:16.180 Now, if
00:47:20.460 you had, if
00:47:21.560 you lost
00:47:21.960 three months
00:47:22.520 of your
00:47:22.780 life to
00:47:23.440 fatigue,
00:47:25.080 how big
00:47:27.940 of a risk
00:47:28.400 would you
00:47:28.720 take to
00:47:29.200 avoid that?
00:47:31.560 Of course,
00:47:32.300 the vaccination
00:47:32.720 risk,
00:47:33.340 is everything
00:47:34.260 including
00:47:34.700 death, because
00:47:35.800 it's an
00:47:36.100 unknown.
00:47:36.780 You don't
00:47:37.080 know what
00:47:37.380 happens to
00:47:37.780 you or
00:47:38.140 anybody else.
00:47:41.360 There's no
00:47:41.900 way to measure
00:47:43.180 the two risks.
00:47:45.020 But what if
00:47:45.940 COVID, which
00:47:46.860 was, well,
00:47:47.680 let me ask
00:47:47.980 this question.
00:47:48.540 So here's
00:47:48.920 something I
00:47:49.600 had genuine
00:47:50.040 curiosity for.
00:47:51.020 how did
00:47:57.160 you know that
00:47:58.580 long COVID
00:47:59.760 wouldn't be
00:48:00.720 as bad as
00:48:03.040 maybe long
00:48:03.680 measles is?
00:48:05.060 How did you
00:48:05.760 know that?
00:48:06.960 So I asked
00:48:07.700 people how
00:48:08.100 they knew
00:48:08.420 it.
00:48:08.980 And a lot
00:48:10.720 of people
00:48:10.980 said they
00:48:11.500 knew it
00:48:11.900 because the
00:48:12.880 data said
00:48:14.840 that people
00:48:15.240 were getting
00:48:15.700 it and
00:48:16.020 recovering,
00:48:16.420 and they
00:48:16.940 knew people
00:48:17.400 who it
00:48:17.840 was just
00:48:18.120 a cold
00:48:18.540 and they
00:48:18.840 got over
00:48:19.220 it.
00:48:20.840 Now, that's
00:48:22.400 people telling
00:48:23.000 me that they
00:48:23.860 know the
00:48:24.300 future because
00:48:25.300 they know the
00:48:25.860 present.
00:48:27.240 To me, that's
00:48:28.100 not even a
00:48:28.640 thing.
00:48:29.920 Because in the
00:48:30.700 present, I
00:48:31.340 thought measles
00:48:31.960 was just
00:48:32.580 something that
00:48:33.060 happened to me
00:48:33.560 then.
00:48:34.460 But 50 years
00:48:35.540 later, I
00:48:36.040 found out,
00:48:36.580 ooh, turns
00:48:37.240 out I thought
00:48:38.640 I was safe,
00:48:39.380 but maybe I
00:48:39.840 wasn't.
00:48:41.120 But people,
00:48:42.220 unlike the
00:48:43.340 measles case,
00:48:44.380 there were a
00:48:44.680 lot of people
00:48:45.040 who looked at
00:48:45.480 the COVID
00:48:45.880 current
00:48:46.420 information,
00:48:47.700 and from
00:48:48.040 that they
00:48:48.500 formed
00:48:48.880 certainty
00:48:49.440 about the
00:48:50.620 future.
00:48:51.920 Now, I
00:48:52.500 don't know
00:48:52.740 how to do
00:48:53.080 that.
00:48:54.080 I only can
00:48:54.880 look at
00:48:55.220 current
00:48:55.520 information and
00:48:56.180 say, well,
00:48:56.580 I don't know
00:48:56.980 about the
00:48:57.340 future.
00:49:01.020 So I
00:49:01.540 asked Ivor
00:49:02.220 Cummins,
00:49:03.300 who is a
00:49:03.940 famous
00:49:04.380 opponent to
00:49:07.520 vaccinations,
00:49:08.560 and he
00:49:09.860 said, oh,
00:49:11.500 I also
00:49:11.800 asked, how
00:49:14.320 do you
00:49:14.560 explain that
00:49:15.260 the scientists
00:49:16.380 and drug
00:49:17.100 executives,
00:49:18.780 presumably,
00:49:19.580 but we
00:49:19.940 don't know,
00:49:21.280 took the
00:49:21.780 shots
00:49:22.040 themselves?
00:49:23.840 Like, if
00:49:24.400 you think
00:49:24.760 they're
00:49:24.940 dangerous,
00:49:25.480 how would
00:49:25.740 you explain
00:49:26.380 that the
00:49:26.800 people who
00:49:27.180 invented
00:49:27.620 them took
00:49:28.980 them?
00:49:30.680 And what
00:49:31.460 I found
00:49:31.800 was that
00:49:32.900 the majority
00:49:33.820 of people
00:49:34.620 that I
00:49:35.880 polled
00:49:36.220 believed
00:49:36.800 they didn't.
00:49:38.460 They believed
00:49:39.300 they didn't
00:49:39.720 take them,
00:49:40.620 which is
00:49:42.320 totally
00:49:42.580 possible.
00:49:44.440 That is
00:49:45.080 totally
00:49:45.400 possible.
00:49:47.140 You know,
00:49:47.760 there was a
00:49:48.480 day when I
00:49:48.960 would have
00:49:49.180 said, come
00:49:49.640 on, right?
00:49:51.660 There was a
00:49:52.380 time in my
00:49:53.020 life I
00:49:53.380 would have
00:49:53.540 said, come
00:49:53.920 on.
00:49:54.880 If the
00:49:55.320 executives and
00:49:56.560 the scientists
00:49:57.180 who invented
00:49:57.800 them didn't
00:49:59.040 take them,
00:50:00.340 we would
00:50:00.900 know that.
00:50:02.160 There would
00:50:02.500 be whistle
00:50:03.060 blowers, and
00:50:04.060 you know, it
00:50:05.020 would just be
00:50:05.500 so obvious.
00:50:06.820 You would
00:50:07.160 know it.
00:50:07.540 Yes, Katie
00:50:12.900 is also
00:50:14.100 confusing the
00:50:15.520 future and
00:50:17.300 the past.
00:50:18.080 So there's
00:50:18.420 somebody out
00:50:18.780 here who
00:50:19.140 can't tell
00:50:19.500 the difference
00:50:20.000 between today
00:50:22.580 and the
00:50:23.100 future.
00:50:23.940 Do you know
00:50:24.540 there's a
00:50:24.860 difference?
00:50:26.560 You should
00:50:27.240 look into
00:50:28.260 that.
00:50:28.780 So there
00:50:29.040 are things
00:50:29.320 that happen
00:50:29.700 like today
00:50:30.620 that can be
00:50:31.920 different than
00:50:32.420 things that
00:50:32.780 happen in the
00:50:33.400 future.
00:50:33.700 future, and
00:50:34.700 sometimes the
00:50:35.220 future is
00:50:35.700 unknown.
00:50:37.540 Sometimes you
00:50:38.040 don't know.
00:50:38.900 I know, that's
00:50:39.340 the first time
00:50:39.800 you're finding
00:50:40.140 that out, Katie.
00:50:41.740 I know.
00:50:42.380 So Katie is
00:50:43.080 screaming in
00:50:44.040 all caps,
00:50:44.980 Scott, in
00:50:45.480 2020, we
00:50:46.700 must immediately
00:50:47.360 close the
00:50:47.900 entire country
00:50:48.520 down from
00:50:48.980 all international
00:50:49.660 flights and
00:50:50.160 lockdown.
00:50:53.160 First of all,
00:50:53.900 Katie, that
00:50:55.200 was about
00:50:55.620 China only,
00:50:57.360 China only,
00:50:58.460 and that was
00:50:59.360 when we
00:50:59.960 didn't know
00:51:00.420 what it
00:51:00.720 was.
00:51:01.160 And I
00:51:03.520 said, well,
00:51:04.120 at least shut
00:51:05.020 down until we
00:51:05.560 find out.
00:51:06.900 So with the
00:51:07.980 information we
00:51:08.660 have at the
00:51:09.100 time, that's
00:51:09.960 called the
00:51:10.280 present.
00:51:11.980 Now I know
00:51:12.340 these concepts
00:51:13.160 are unfamiliar,
00:51:14.220 but the
00:51:14.580 present is
00:51:15.180 different than
00:51:15.640 the past,
00:51:16.960 and also
00:51:17.580 different than
00:51:18.040 the future.
00:51:19.380 Now if I
00:51:20.160 had known
00:51:20.520 what you
00:51:20.880 know, Katie,
00:51:21.600 apparently you're
00:51:22.120 a time
00:51:22.380 traveler, and
00:51:23.120 you knew
00:51:23.620 from the
00:51:24.640 first moment
00:51:25.480 that it
00:51:26.380 was no
00:51:26.780 risk.
00:51:28.280 You are
00:51:29.020 my role
00:51:29.640 model.
00:51:29.960 I want
00:51:31.280 to be like
00:51:31.720 you and
00:51:32.160 go on
00:51:32.480 podcasts and
00:51:33.260 shout in
00:51:33.840 all capital
00:51:34.380 letters that
00:51:35.660 the future
00:51:36.240 and the
00:51:36.680 current are
00:51:37.380 the same.
00:51:38.700 That I
00:51:39.340 can look at
00:51:39.800 my future
00:51:41.040 data today,
00:51:42.840 and then
00:51:43.880 with the
00:51:44.420 benefit of
00:51:44.840 the future
00:51:45.280 data, I
00:51:46.600 can make
00:51:46.900 decisions
00:51:47.320 today.
00:51:49.080 Now that's
00:51:49.880 something I
00:51:50.380 didn't know,
00:51:51.000 Katie, so
00:51:51.620 thank you for
00:51:52.240 correcting me.
00:51:53.560 Oh, Katie,
00:51:54.100 you got very
00:51:54.580 quiet.
00:51:55.900 How embarrassing
00:51:56.520 to be you
00:51:57.060 right now.
00:51:58.780 All right.
00:51:59.960 So, but
00:52:01.080 there is, and
00:52:03.040 as people
00:52:03.600 said to
00:52:04.080 me, and
00:52:04.440 I expected
00:52:04.960 that they
00:52:05.180 would say
00:52:05.420 this, that
00:52:07.000 there is
00:52:07.800 actually an
00:52:09.100 entirely
00:52:09.560 reasonable
00:52:10.240 argument, a
00:52:12.480 totally
00:52:12.780 reasonable
00:52:13.240 argument, why
00:52:13.960 all of the
00:52:14.580 scientists and
00:52:15.960 all of the
00:52:16.420 executives, or
00:52:17.700 some portion
00:52:18.260 of them, might
00:52:19.420 have skipped
00:52:19.940 the shots and
00:52:21.820 lied to you.
00:52:23.680 That is
00:52:24.620 possible in
00:52:25.620 2022 and
00:52:27.540 2021, I
00:52:29.060 would say
00:52:29.400 we've
00:52:29.680 actually
00:52:30.060 reached the
00:52:31.320 point of
00:52:31.840 ridiculousness
00:52:32.820 where that
00:52:33.740 was actually
00:52:34.180 possible.
00:52:35.120 Now, if I
00:52:35.740 had to put
00:52:36.040 odds on it, I
00:52:36.900 would say not
00:52:37.340 very high, but
00:52:39.280 it's actually
00:52:39.660 possible.
00:52:40.580 Now, here's
00:52:41.000 another
00:52:41.220 possibility.
00:52:43.180 The scientists
00:52:44.600 and executives
00:52:45.500 were so, let's
00:52:48.620 say, enamored by
00:52:49.620 how much money
00:52:50.220 they were going
00:52:50.620 to make, because
00:52:51.680 even the
00:52:52.080 scientists were
00:52:52.680 going to get
00:52:53.060 rich just on
00:52:53.800 stock options.
00:52:54.540 Anybody who
00:52:55.100 owned company
00:52:55.660 stocks got
00:52:56.440 rich.
00:52:57.520 So, everybody
00:52:58.740 was going to
00:52:59.180 make a killing, and
00:53:00.800 the only thing
00:53:01.540 they had to do
00:53:02.360 was tell you
00:53:03.760 that it was
00:53:04.120 safe.
00:53:05.860 That's all they
00:53:06.520 had to do, and
00:53:07.520 they would all
00:53:07.900 get rich.
00:53:09.500 And then they
00:53:09.920 had immunity,
00:53:11.060 right?
00:53:11.420 They had
00:53:11.700 negotiated
00:53:12.240 immunity.
00:53:13.340 So, once they
00:53:13.960 negotiated immunity,
00:53:15.580 they'd lost all
00:53:17.080 incentives to tell
00:53:18.040 you the truth.
00:53:19.300 They had no
00:53:20.040 incentive to tell
00:53:20.740 you the truth,
00:53:21.700 because they
00:53:22.220 had immunity, and
00:53:23.600 if they lied,
00:53:24.540 this is
00:53:25.140 hypothetical, but
00:53:26.160 if they lied,
00:53:26.940 they would get
00:53:27.300 rich, and they
00:53:28.800 would have no
00:53:29.280 risk.
00:53:30.960 So, do you
00:53:31.600 think that people
00:53:32.280 who have a
00:53:33.680 choice of getting
00:53:34.300 rich if they
00:53:35.540 say one thing,
00:53:36.660 are they objective
00:53:37.820 anymore?
00:53:38.740 Of course not.
00:53:39.920 Of course not.
00:53:40.960 So, it's entirely
00:53:41.920 possible, and it
00:53:43.160 fits within my
00:53:44.040 understanding of
00:53:44.920 psychology, that
00:53:46.360 everyone at the
00:53:47.540 big pharma was
00:53:49.200 in cognitive
00:53:49.840 dissonance, and
00:53:51.380 convinced themselves
00:53:52.380 they were working
00:53:53.020 for the good,
00:53:54.540 but we're doing
00:53:55.600 the opposite.
00:53:56.800 I'm not saying
00:53:57.360 that's the case.
00:53:58.280 I'm saying that
00:53:58.940 would be fully
00:54:00.520 within the normal
00:54:01.600 scope of human
00:54:03.120 behavior.
00:54:04.400 Totally accepted.
00:54:05.600 Now, if you
00:54:07.260 told me that that
00:54:08.100 situation would
00:54:08.960 remain that way
00:54:10.000 forever, well,
00:54:11.880 then I'd get
00:54:12.340 skeptical.
00:54:13.440 The longer you
00:54:14.300 wait, the more
00:54:15.080 somebody's going to
00:54:15.960 leave the ranks.
00:54:18.200 You're going to get
00:54:18.680 a whistleblower.
00:54:19.300 So, here's the
00:54:21.380 question I ask.
00:54:24.560 Where's the
00:54:25.140 whistleblowers?
00:54:27.240 The ones who say,
00:54:28.420 we knew it was bad
00:54:29.260 for you, but we
00:54:29.940 did it anyway.
00:54:31.920 Where are they?
00:54:34.260 How much would you
00:54:35.440 have to make to be a
00:54:37.200 whistleblower in this
00:54:38.060 situation?
00:54:39.140 Because I think if
00:54:39.980 you're a scientist or
00:54:41.020 you work there, you
00:54:42.440 probably made five
00:54:43.460 million dollars.
00:54:45.140 Don't you think?
00:54:46.760 Don't you think that
00:54:47.520 like a top scientist
00:54:48.520 probably made five,
00:54:50.160 ten, twenty million
00:54:50.980 dollars just on
00:54:52.360 stock options?
00:54:53.820 Just for going to
00:54:54.780 work?
00:54:56.100 I think, you know,
00:54:57.340 because they probably
00:54:57.800 had, a top scientist
00:54:59.140 probably had a million
00:55:00.160 or two in stock
00:55:01.000 options, which, you
00:55:02.260 know, ballooned
00:55:02.820 immediately up to
00:55:03.640 ten million or
00:55:04.460 something.
00:55:05.920 So, but, suppose
00:55:08.540 you offered twenty
00:55:09.420 million dollars for
00:55:11.260 any whistleblower who
00:55:12.500 could tell you that
00:55:13.360 they knew it was
00:55:14.560 dangerous and did it
00:55:15.440 anyway.
00:55:15.920 without telling you
00:55:16.680 the danger.
00:55:18.120 Do you think anybody
00:55:18.820 would answer for
00:55:19.440 twenty million dollars?
00:55:23.320 Remember, follow the
00:55:24.360 money.
00:55:25.900 Well, if you say no,
00:55:27.740 then you're releasing
00:55:28.900 a little bit on
00:55:29.540 follow the money.
00:55:30.840 Because the top
00:55:31.780 executives would lose
00:55:33.100 money if they became
00:55:34.220 whistleblowers, right?
00:55:36.480 The top executive has
00:55:37.600 probably made a billion
00:55:38.940 apiece or a hundred
00:55:40.760 million or something.
00:55:41.640 So they would lose
00:55:42.460 money.
00:55:42.820 Twenty million would
00:55:43.480 be a bad deal for
00:55:44.280 them.
00:55:44.480 But if you're, let's
00:55:48.140 say, just an employee,
00:55:49.500 a staff person, let's
00:55:51.060 say you made a million
00:55:52.040 dollars in stock
00:55:52.960 options, pretty darn
00:55:54.780 good for a year of
00:55:56.420 work, but you'd take
00:55:58.160 twenty.
00:55:59.220 I think you'd take
00:56:00.060 twenty million.
00:56:01.580 I don't know if it's
00:56:02.360 taxable.
00:56:02.960 Are whistleblower
00:56:03.760 compensation, is that
00:56:06.360 taxable?
00:56:06.800 Is there any special
00:56:09.100 carve-out for
00:56:09.820 whistleblowers for
00:56:11.140 taxes?
00:56:11.500 Because I don't know
00:56:12.440 if you get the twenty
00:56:13.140 or you get the ten.
00:56:15.400 So maybe you only get
00:56:16.400 half of it, right?
00:56:17.020 That's why I made it
00:56:17.640 twenty million.
00:56:19.120 So, if you believe
00:56:21.800 that they were bad
00:56:22.960 people doing bad
00:56:23.780 things, the questions
00:56:24.680 you'd have to ask is
00:56:25.740 why did they all take
00:56:27.800 it, or how did they
00:56:29.360 all hide the fact they
00:56:30.140 didn't, or how could
00:56:33.020 there not be at least
00:56:33.880 one whistleblower?
00:56:35.840 Just one whistleblower
00:56:37.120 who likes twenty
00:56:37.920 million dollars and
00:56:38.700 likes attention.
00:56:39.300 Just one.
00:56:41.380 And maybe there
00:56:41.880 will be one.
00:56:42.640 Maybe we just have to
00:56:43.340 wait a little while and
00:56:44.200 they'll feel safer to
00:56:45.300 come out.
00:56:46.080 It's possible.
00:56:47.980 So, here's where I
00:56:49.660 went wrong.
00:56:52.500 All right?
00:56:53.840 I believe I was
00:56:55.200 biased by people who
00:56:58.320 take drugs, the
00:56:59.660 illegal kind.
00:57:01.100 If you have any
00:57:02.000 experience in the
00:57:02.840 illegal drug world,
00:57:04.880 what's the number one
00:57:05.920 rule of whether or not
00:57:07.700 you put a drug in your
00:57:08.580 mouth?
00:57:09.300 Number one rule, what
00:57:10.720 is it?
00:57:12.060 It's an illegal drug,
00:57:14.140 what's the number one
00:57:15.060 rule before you put it
00:57:16.220 in your mouth or you
00:57:17.020 smoke it?
00:57:20.880 Did you watch somebody
00:57:22.120 else do it?
00:57:23.880 That's the number one
00:57:24.800 rule.
00:57:25.760 Did you watch somebody
00:57:26.700 reach into the same
00:57:27.680 bag and take out the
00:57:29.560 same, you know, pill or
00:57:31.100 powder or whatever it's
00:57:32.160 going to be and watch
00:57:33.860 them put it in their
00:57:34.520 mouth and then the next
00:57:36.400 day they're still alive?
00:57:37.420 Right?
00:57:39.340 If you took like, if you
00:57:41.000 took mushrooms from a
00:57:42.120 bag that you don't know
00:57:43.120 anybody's ever tried, well,
00:57:45.440 you're really taking a
00:57:46.260 chance there.
00:57:48.380 Right?
00:57:49.180 So, the number one rule,
00:57:50.940 in fact, it was the rule I
00:57:52.560 mentioned to my stepson
00:57:54.480 before he violated the
00:57:55.720 rule and died.
00:57:56.420 Because I'm pretty sure
00:57:58.740 that he took some things
00:57:59.960 that somebody handed him.
00:58:01.520 Right?
00:58:02.280 And there was at least one
00:58:03.420 other person who died from
00:58:04.440 the same batch the same
00:58:05.480 day.
00:58:06.260 So, the batch was bad.
00:58:09.780 Nobody tested from that
00:58:12.300 batch.
00:58:12.940 Right?
00:58:13.580 So, it's the number one
00:58:14.440 thing.
00:58:15.180 So, when I look at the
00:58:16.720 vaccinations slash shots,
00:58:19.940 the number one question I
00:58:21.360 said is, well, are they
00:58:22.380 taking him?
00:58:23.920 Right?
00:58:24.040 Are the executives
00:58:25.520 taking him?
00:58:26.880 What about the scientists
00:58:27.840 who invented it?
00:58:28.840 Are they taking him?
00:58:29.760 What about Dr. Malone?
00:58:31.920 Dr. Malone, the, you know,
00:58:33.360 co-inventor of the mRNA.
00:58:35.140 Did he take it?
00:58:36.000 He did.
00:58:36.700 He did.
00:58:38.860 He says he did.
00:58:39.900 We can't prove anything.
00:58:40.900 Right?
00:58:41.500 But, I imagine you
00:58:42.700 wouldn't lie about that.
00:58:44.840 Now, here's my second
00:58:45.940 question.
00:58:47.000 If you took the
00:58:48.080 executives and the top
00:58:49.380 scientists of the big
00:58:50.380 pharma and you brought
00:58:52.040 them before Congress,
00:58:53.060 would it be legal to ask
00:58:56.840 them the question, did
00:58:58.460 you get the vaccination?
00:59:00.960 It might be illegal to
00:59:02.220 ask because it's their
00:59:03.740 personal medical stuff,
00:59:04.860 right?
00:59:05.380 They could just say, I
00:59:06.540 don't talk about my
00:59:07.300 personal medical situation.
00:59:09.920 So, even Congress can't
00:59:11.620 find out if they took the
00:59:12.560 shot, right?
00:59:14.300 Am I right?
00:59:16.420 Or does, let me think.
00:59:20.100 Now, the government has a
00:59:21.480 record of our vaccination
00:59:22.640 status, though, right?
00:59:25.660 Don't they?
00:59:27.400 Do a fact check.
00:59:29.200 I mean, the whole point of
00:59:30.020 having the vaccination cards
00:59:31.420 is that everybody who got a
00:59:33.220 vaccination was entered.
00:59:35.880 So, if the executives and the
00:59:38.400 scientists who invented it, if
00:59:40.660 they have a card and they're on
00:59:42.900 a record, you still don't know
00:59:44.500 if they got saline because half
00:59:46.180 of you believe they got saline,
00:59:47.560 right?
00:59:49.720 But don't you think, do you
00:59:51.700 think that there would be no
00:59:53.500 whistleblower if the executives
00:59:55.560 and the scientists were taking
00:59:56.980 saline?
00:59:59.380 You don't think you'd get a
01:00:00.600 whistleblower for that?
01:00:02.540 See, I could imagine no
01:00:03.740 whistleblower on the basic
01:00:05.780 question of whether they knew
01:00:07.040 it was dangerous.
01:00:08.340 I could imagine no
01:00:09.480 whistleblower on that, even if
01:00:11.180 there was something there.
01:00:12.500 But I can't imagine, I can't
01:00:14.840 imagine, my head cannot hold in
01:00:17.160 hold into it, that you wouldn't
01:00:19.560 have a whistleblower by now if
01:00:21.440 a number of them, like a large
01:00:23.620 number, got a saline shot.
01:00:26.620 Do you believe they could keep
01:00:27.880 that secret up to now?
01:00:33.180 I don't know.
01:00:35.880 It certainly, I think it's
01:00:39.600 possible.
01:00:40.000 I think the things we've seen from
01:00:46.120 the Russia collusion to, you know,
01:00:48.940 the laptop to, I mean, think about
01:00:51.900 the fact there are 51 people who
01:00:53.420 signed that Hunter laptop thing.
01:00:56.600 51 people.
01:00:58.480 Not a single one of them has come
01:01:00.020 forward and said, you know, that
01:01:01.980 wasn't real.
01:01:02.880 We were just trying to influence
01:01:03.980 things.
01:01:05.280 No whistleblowers there.
01:01:06.380 That's 51 people, no
01:01:08.880 whistleblowers.
01:01:10.520 Tuskegee, there were no
01:01:11.540 whistleblowers for a long time,
01:01:12.840 right?
01:01:13.880 So there are lots of situations
01:01:15.280 where there are no
01:01:15.920 whistleblowers.
01:01:17.400 Yeah, it could happen.
01:01:19.340 But here's where I'm telling you
01:01:20.720 my bias.
01:01:21.440 My bias is that I presumed it's
01:01:27.100 most likely that they took it.
01:01:29.840 And then I said, well, if the
01:01:31.100 people who know the most about it
01:01:32.440 took it, that's an argument.
01:01:34.700 But then I have to admit, it
01:01:37.180 never occurred to me that they
01:01:40.300 could have taken saline shots and
01:01:42.280 gotten away with it.
01:01:44.200 But we do live in a world where
01:01:45.800 they could have.
01:01:46.360 I don't think it happened.
01:01:47.900 Like, my assessment of the odds,
01:01:50.060 the odds that the executives and
01:01:51.740 scientists took saline, I'd put at
01:01:53.620 10%.
01:01:55.260 I'd put that at 10%.
01:01:57.460 And 10 is high.
01:02:00.540 You know, I'm stretching to get to
01:02:02.980 10%.
01:02:03.560 Because that would be one hell of a...
01:02:05.680 I mean, that would be the crime of
01:02:07.340 the whole...
01:02:08.900 Wouldn't that be the crime of the
01:02:10.080 century?
01:02:11.080 Or the biggest crime since, you
01:02:13.040 know, Genghis Khan?
01:02:14.100 Or biggest crime since Stalin or
01:02:16.360 Mao or something?
01:02:18.820 But maybe.
01:02:20.460 Yeah.
01:02:20.940 Yeah.
01:02:21.160 Like, as somebody who's saying
01:02:23.580 over here, I'm gullible.
01:02:24.820 Now, remember, I believe we're a
01:02:30.000 simulation, and I believe that
01:02:32.200 your movie in which I got
01:02:33.800 everything wrong, and I trusted
01:02:36.020 big entities, is completely true.
01:02:40.820 But at the same time, the other
01:02:42.220 movie is completely true, that I
01:02:43.980 didn't trust any entities, and I
01:02:45.920 didn't trust the virus.
01:02:47.620 So they're just both true at the
01:02:49.000 same time.
01:02:49.780 And there's nothing wrong with it.
01:02:50.920 They can just both be true.
01:02:57.340 They took it at a time we thought
01:02:58.980 COVID was a bioweapon.
01:03:02.420 But did they get boosters?
01:03:04.500 Because we would also have a record
01:03:06.380 of their boosters.
01:03:08.280 I think what you'd find is that the
01:03:10.400 people attached to it got boosted if
01:03:14.040 they were old and had comorbidities.
01:03:17.320 And maybe not if they're young.
01:03:19.360 That's what I think you would find.
01:03:20.920 All right, so the number of people
01:03:25.620 who believe, only 19% of the people
01:03:28.560 I surveyed believe that the
01:03:30.040 executives and the scientists
01:03:31.360 actually took it themselves.
01:03:33.840 61% believe that it was a sailing
01:03:37.160 shot or they didn't take it.
01:03:39.940 61% of you believe the executives and
01:03:43.280 the scientists who made it didn't
01:03:44.980 take it.
01:03:46.540 Isn't there some way to find out?
01:03:48.160 Well, I don't know.
01:03:51.360 Like, I get that if it was a super clever
01:03:54.180 saline solution thing, maybe you couldn't.
01:03:57.460 But I feel like there's some way to find out.
01:04:00.340 I just don't know what it is.
01:04:01.980 Yeah, Google it.
01:04:04.300 Yeah, Google it will work.
01:04:05.560 But anyway, all it would take to make me happy would be a GoFundMe of $20 million
01:04:16.880 for a whistleblower who could say something we don't already know.
01:04:21.080 You'd have to specify what they, specifically what their claim would have to be to pay them.
01:04:27.520 But if they could prove it, with documents especially, that would be amazing.
01:04:33.680 DJ Bear wants you to know this is fake.
01:04:40.780 And he's going to say it 20 times so far.
01:04:44.900 Just keep saying it.
01:04:46.940 Yeah, he just wants to type it over and over again.
01:04:51.120 We're, DJ Bear, we're going to make you invisible here.
01:04:55.420 You are now hidden.
01:04:57.820 But I encourage you to keep typing.
01:05:06.540 All right.
01:05:11.640 Could sign something that we would know.
01:05:14.000 Yeah.
01:05:18.180 All right.
01:05:18.880 I also wonder how many doctors have died from the shot.
01:05:23.880 Don't you?
01:05:25.760 I'd love to know how many medical doctors, because there must be enough of them.
01:05:30.840 How many medical doctors are in the United States?
01:05:33.360 It's well over 100,000, right?
01:05:36.200 A million?
01:05:36.840 I don't know.
01:05:37.640 100,000?
01:05:39.740 Does anybody have any idea?
01:05:42.060 But don't you figure that the medical professionals are probably 98% vaccinated?
01:05:47.200 Wouldn't you say?
01:05:48.880 Maybe 90%.
01:05:51.560 But do you think there are any vaccinated people?
01:05:56.380 No.
01:05:57.840 Now, here's something I said that nobody called me on, and you should have.
01:06:03.260 I said something really sketchy earlier, and you should have called me on it.
01:06:08.380 When I said that Google says that at the moment, 45% of people are saying they have long COVID symptoms,
01:06:14.780 you were supposed to say, aren't they all vaccinated?
01:06:22.280 And then I'd say, oh, yeah, that's true.
01:06:25.300 You can't tell if it's long COVID or long jab.
01:06:28.740 Now, I think because of the timing and such, people can tell it's from the COVID, not the shock.
01:06:36.420 But I was expecting you to say that.
01:06:39.180 I was expecting.
01:06:40.020 All right.
01:06:48.980 Yeah, very suspect.
01:06:50.980 All right, that's all for now on YouTube.
01:06:52.420 I'll talk to you tomorrow.
01:06:53.360 Thanks for joining.
01:06:54.580 Have a good...
01:06:55.020 Have a good day.
