Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2003 Scott Adams： Trump's Energy Messaging Is A Disaster, TikTok Ban Update, Iran Attacks

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, 0.98

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 0.76

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 0.99

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 0.57

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 0.82

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? 0.60

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 0.99

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 0.66

00:19:53.000 for getting the right answers

00:19:54.280 over there on Locals.

00:19:55.440 The Locals people 1.00

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. 0.98

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 0.85

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 0.93

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 0.76

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 0.65

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 0.99

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 0.94

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 0.88

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 0.99

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 0.57

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. 0.56

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. 0.56

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. 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.57

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 0.60

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 0.72

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? 0.96

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? 0.97

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 0.63

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 0.51

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, 0.99

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.
