Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2594 CWSA 09⧸11⧸24

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:12.760 I mean, not counting the debate last night.

00:00:15.120 If you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with

00:00:20.060 their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that would be a cup or mug or a glass,

00:00:24.840 a tank or chalice or stein, a kentine jug or flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with

00:00:29.420 your favorite liquid I like, coffee.

00:00:31.460 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day, the

00:00:34.660 thing that makes everything better.

00:00:36.080 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:00:39.820 Go.

00:00:48.460 Well, there's yet another coffee study.

00:00:50.460 It says it's full of vitamins and antioxidants, and they studied 400,000 people, and they found

00:00:55.420 that if you drink coffee for 13 to 14 years, you have a substantially lower risk of death.

00:01:04.540 And so, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going for immortality.

00:01:08.620 If a little bit of coffee can make you live longer, a lot of coffee can make you immortal.

00:01:14.280 That's just common sense.

00:01:15.420 So, please join me in immortality if you like coffee.

00:01:22.460 Well, today is September 11th, and we will remember the tragedy and the victims and the

00:01:28.940 heroes, et cetera.

00:01:31.920 But it makes me think that there's some kind of a limit to how many days that can be special.

00:01:38.880 There are 365 days, typically, and now we have September 11th is special, and January 6th is

00:01:48.500 special, and of course, December 7th is the day of infamy.

00:01:52.000 And December 25th, we got your Christmas.

00:01:54.000 July 4th, you got your Independence Day.

00:01:56.800 We got the Juneteenth, and of course, June 8th, my birthday.

00:01:59.900 So, quite a few days are already spoken for.

00:02:02.780 So, if you were planning to do any kind of big thing that would be remembered in history,

00:02:09.340 you want to stay away from the reserved days.

00:02:14.080 Something in March would be good.

00:02:17.540 There's nothing in March.

00:02:19.880 Yeah.

00:02:20.280 So, if you're going to do something that's going to be world-changing, and it's going to

00:02:24.520 mark a day, look for March.

00:02:27.300 It's sort of unspoiled territory there.

00:02:29.520 Well, we will talk about the debate, of course.

00:02:34.300 I'm just waiting for people to pile in here.

00:02:37.780 The update on inflation has fallen to 2.5%, which is in line with expectations.

00:02:46.240 So, we got the core inflation is unchanged, but they expected that.

00:02:50.700 So, that's good, right?

00:02:51.940 All the inflation's over.

00:02:53.360 Whew.

00:02:53.940 Thank goodness.

00:02:55.440 Here, I thought my prices were higher than they used to be, but no.

00:02:59.520 No, now I know that inflation is right back down to almost where you want it to be.

00:03:04.680 Two would be better than 2.5%, but, you know, pretty close.

00:03:08.980 Let's see.

00:03:10.480 What does that imply?

00:03:12.780 Well, I would think that with this good inflation news, the Fed will be lowering interest rates,

00:03:20.180 the stock market will be up, and enthusiasm about the economy will be rising right around Election Day,

00:03:26.440 which should raise a little flag in your mind that says, huh, huh, the administration that's in charge

00:03:34.480 says the economy is extra good right before the election.

00:03:38.520 Hmm.

00:03:39.320 Hmm.

00:03:39.680 I wonder if there's any data they left out.

00:03:42.700 Well, according to Republican researcher Jackie Kokiewicz, I think that's at least somewhere close

00:03:50.660 to the way she pronounces her name.

00:03:52.140 Since Harris took office, gas is up 46%, electricity 30%, fuel, oil, 43%, airfare, 21%, hotels, 49%, groceries, 21%,

00:04:02.800 baby food, 29%, K-12, food, 66%, rent, 22%, transportation, 32%, car insurance, 55%, overall inflation, 20%,

00:04:14.740 real average weekly earnings down 3.4%.

00:04:17.320 Now, even if you adjust for the fact that some of these comparisons are wonky because of the pandemic,

00:04:26.320 you know, for example, I imagine the pandemic lowered airfare for a while because demand was down.

00:04:33.180 So I'm not sure where we're counting from.

00:04:36.300 But generally speaking, generally speaking, prices are way up.

00:04:44.100 And I think everybody knows it.

00:04:45.300 Well, importantly, after the debate, Taylor Swift endorsed Harris and signed off on her

00:04:52.260 letter saying why she called herself a single cat lady, which was kind of funny, but also

00:04:59.340 suggests, you know, maybe that cat lady thing hurt a little bit.

00:05:06.860 Maybe it hurt a little bit.

00:05:08.200 Well, as others have pointed out, and Trump pointed this out himself, it's really expensive

00:05:13.920 to be a public figure and endorse a political candidate.

00:05:18.520 What do you suppose it will cost Taylor Swift to support Harris?

00:05:25.340 Well, if it's anything like we've seen before, she should probably instantly lose about 20% of

00:05:33.040 her annual pay, meaning that fewer people will support her.

00:05:37.640 We don't know that, but that would be a typical response.

00:05:41.600 So let's see.

00:05:42.440 Recently, she made $92 million in a year with her tour.

00:05:46.040 So let's say she takes 20% off of that.

00:05:49.320 So that's going to hurt a little bit.

00:05:51.380 Let's say that her music catalog, which is estimated to be worth $500 to $600 million, let's say that

00:06:00.940 goes up in value, and she's got this, what do you call it, unrealized capital gains.

00:06:08.540 So let's say it doubles in value, then she'd pay 25% on her extra half a billion.

00:06:16.460 So that might cost her $125 million or so.

00:06:22.980 And of course, her income taxes would be higher because she's a high-income person under Harris.

00:06:28.720 So if her endorsement makes a difference and it puts Harris over the top, it should cost

00:06:34.300 Taylor Swift for that several hundred million dollars.

00:06:40.760 Several hundred million dollars.

00:06:42.920 Now, you could argue that Elon Musk cost him way more than that for endorsing somebody.

00:06:51.020 You might say that me endorsing Trump cost me some number of millions of dollars, which

00:06:57.920 it did, and it's expensive.

00:07:00.640 So I have to admit, I kind of appreciate that she's willing to basically lose hundreds of

00:07:09.500 millions of dollars to use her free speech and have her free opinion of how things should

00:07:17.320 be.

00:07:18.480 But it's going to be expensive, Taylor.

00:07:21.420 All right.

00:07:22.240 Elon Musk saw that and responded humorously on X.

00:07:26.260 He said, remember, she signs it off as a single cat lady.

00:07:32.700 And so Elon Musk posts this.

00:07:35.100 He goes, fine, Taylor, you win.

00:07:37.500 I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.

00:07:41.680 Okay.

00:07:42.160 That's really funny.

00:07:43.560 I will give you a child.

00:07:47.160 Coming from Elon Musk, who's got 11 children from various baby mamas.

00:07:52.380 I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.

00:07:59.840 See, this is why I doubt that Elon Musk is on the spectrum.

00:08:06.060 Now, he says he is.

00:08:07.880 I mean, he's referred to himself as having Asperger's.

00:08:10.320 But you can't write that joke if you're on the spectrum.

00:08:14.720 That is not the kind of joke you'd normally...

00:08:18.500 This is a sophisticated joke.

00:08:21.240 I mean, it's actually really well written.

00:08:24.540 So, I don't know what is up with Elon Musk's brain,

00:08:29.420 but it's not operating like your brain and my brain,

00:08:32.520 and that's good for him, I guess.

00:08:35.700 You know, I do wonder if J.D. Vance's single cat lady's,

00:08:41.060 you know, one-time reference he made that, of course,

00:08:44.140 they're making a big deal about,

00:08:45.720 does that feel like his deplorables moment?

00:08:47.940 Meaning that single cat ladies represent a pretty large percentage of the total voters

00:08:55.860 and people who love single cat ladies, I suppose.

00:09:00.820 So, it kind of feels like he, you know,

00:09:04.640 he insulted a group of Americans who are not going to forget it.

00:09:09.120 Very much like the deplorables comment.

00:09:13.260 And I don't think that he meant it as anything but a colorful way to talk,

00:09:18.000 but so did Hillary.

00:09:20.240 It's just that sometimes these stains don't wash out,

00:09:23.080 and I think he's got one that doesn't wash out.

00:09:25.080 But it only affects that one demographic,

00:09:29.360 and they were probably all going to be for Kamala Harris anyway.

00:09:33.640 So, I saw yesterday this compilation of, yet again,

00:09:40.040 the media that backs the Democrats using the same language in every newscast.

00:09:45.820 It was after Joe Biden did the State of the Union, the most recent one,

00:09:50.960 and all the newscasters were saying it was fiery.

00:09:54.180 That's fiery, fiery, fiery.

00:09:56.360 And you could look at it and you'd go,

00:09:57.960 oh, well, they obviously had some kind of memo

00:10:01.140 that they're all supposed to say fiery.

00:10:04.700 Because when you see them, like, back to back,

00:10:07.100 they're just all using the same word.

00:10:09.160 It's fiery.

00:10:09.980 He was fiery today, fiery.

00:10:12.200 It's pretty obvious that, you know,

00:10:14.660 it was sort of a talking points memo when they all got it.

00:10:17.240 Or that's what I used to think.

00:10:20.460 And when I say used to think, I mean yesterday.

00:10:23.520 I have modified my belief on this topic.

00:10:26.900 Because the moment, or even before the debate was over,

00:10:33.380 I saw the first person on the right say,

00:10:36.760 hey, that was really three against one.

00:10:39.320 And I thought that, oh, yeah, that's sort of a clever way to frame it.

00:10:46.280 Because, you know, you're saying that the moderators were,

00:10:49.040 for one side, three to one.

00:10:51.260 And I saw somebody else say it.

00:10:53.980 And then somebody else, and somebody else, and somebody else.

00:10:56.720 And it was exactly like that fiery thing.

00:11:00.660 It looked like, but I'm pretty sure this is not the case,

00:11:04.040 it looked like every Republican got a memo instantly saying,

00:11:08.740 you should say it's a three to one.

00:11:10.480 Just say it's three to one.

00:11:11.740 Now, that didn't happen.

00:11:13.960 I feel confident that there was no memo,

00:11:16.700 and nobody told anybody to say that.

00:11:19.080 But everybody said it.

00:11:21.620 Everybody said it.

00:11:22.560 It'll be in the comments.

00:11:23.940 You watch the comments,

00:11:25.660 and the people who didn't hear me say this,

00:11:28.640 as they're coming in,

00:11:29.740 the first thing they'll say is it was three to one.

00:11:31.940 So sometimes it looks like it is a memo.

00:11:37.500 I'm sure that was true with the dark thing

00:11:39.880 during the 2016 thing.

00:11:41.680 Everybody say dark.

00:11:42.880 His speech was dark.

00:11:44.020 That was definitely a memo.

00:11:46.340 But apparently this can happen spontaneously as well.

00:11:50.580 And I'd love to know who was the first one to say it.

00:11:54.020 Did it come from one of the, you know,

00:11:56.880 Fox News hosts who said it first?

00:11:58.980 Because it must have been something

00:12:01.240 that a lot of people saw.

00:12:03.880 Was it one of the Trump campaign people who said it?

00:12:07.720 So if anybody knows who was the first person to say that,

00:12:11.300 it would be interesting,

00:12:12.220 because that just swept through everything.

00:12:15.300 And I'm so bored with it.

00:12:16.920 I don't want to ever hear it again,

00:12:18.240 because it just,

00:12:19.100 it already feels like swimming is the best exercise,

00:12:21.820 and it just feels like the most basic thing

00:12:25.540 you could say about the debate.

00:12:26.800 So I'm like, I'm so bored with that.

00:12:29.080 But we will talk about it.

00:12:32.380 All right.

00:12:33.040 So the debate happened.

00:12:37.120 I'll be a little bit all over the place on this,

00:12:39.720 because I took so many notes.

00:12:41.540 But I saw a screen that I thought was a joke.

00:12:45.120 So it showed Daniel Dale,

00:12:47.720 the fact checker for CNN.

00:12:48.940 And next to him,

00:12:50.400 it showed a graphic that I knew was fake when I saw it,

00:12:54.440 because it said that Trump had 33 lies,

00:12:59.100 and Harris had one.

00:13:02.900 And I thought, okay, that's a pretty good meme,

00:13:05.500 but I'm surprised that they didn't go to zero.

00:13:07.400 Why would you do one,

00:13:08.520 you know, if you're going to make a meme joke?

00:13:10.300 And then I saw it again.

00:13:12.920 And I thought, oh, wait a minute.

00:13:14.980 The second person who's sending it around

00:13:16.880 isn't indicating it's a joke.

00:13:20.620 And then I had to go look at the source

00:13:22.420 and play the video for myself.

00:13:25.900 It was real.

00:13:28.440 Did any of it?

00:13:29.080 How many of you watched the debate?

00:13:31.640 Can you even believe

00:13:33.100 that somebody called the CNN fact checker

00:13:36.200 scored it 33 to one?

00:13:38.560 Oh, what?

00:13:42.880 We're going to talk about all the lies.

00:13:45.460 I mean, I won't have time to talk about all of them

00:13:47.300 because the thing was,

00:13:48.320 it was just full of lies and hoaxes.

00:13:50.840 But how in the world

00:13:53.040 do they have the balls

00:13:55.280 to say it was 33 to one?

00:13:58.120 I'm going to mention all the things

00:13:59.660 that were obvious lies

00:14:00.860 and that Daniel Dale didn't catch any of them,

00:14:04.500 except whatever the one was

00:14:05.940 that obviously had no,

00:14:07.240 obviously whatever the one was

00:14:09.460 was one that doesn't matter.

00:14:12.820 In other words,

00:14:13.320 he must have randomly picked

00:14:14.940 out of the many, many lies

00:14:16.320 that Harris said.

00:14:17.840 He must have picked the one

00:14:19.000 that wouldn't hurt her

00:14:19.840 so that he could say he found one.

00:14:23.660 I mean, he needs to quit

00:14:25.060 like immediately.

00:14:26.360 If it was his own idea

00:14:30.580 that there was only one problem

00:14:32.280 on Harris' side,

00:14:33.700 just one,

00:14:35.180 he needs to quit

00:14:36.340 or be fired.

00:14:37.740 He's an embarrassment

00:14:38.540 to CNN at this point.

00:14:40.320 I was kind of,

00:14:41.160 I've been curious about him

00:14:42.580 because I wondered if,

00:14:44.480 does CNN tell him what to say?

00:14:47.000 Or are these actually his opinions?

00:14:49.140 Yeah, so at this point,

00:14:55.720 it's obvious.

00:14:56.700 I think it's obvious.

00:14:58.100 I don't want to be a mind reader,

00:14:59.840 but how many of you would agree

00:15:01.260 with the following statement?

00:15:03.260 Daniel Dale knew he was lying

00:15:05.820 a lot with his analysis.

00:15:09.680 Would you agree with that?

00:15:11.240 I don't know any other way

00:15:12.740 to explain it

00:15:13.480 because the lies were so obvious

00:15:15.200 and so numerous

00:15:16.120 and the people watching it all knew

00:15:18.460 and he couldn't catch more than one.

00:15:21.160 That's just,

00:15:21.640 there's no way that's

00:15:22.500 an honest attempt

00:15:23.900 at doing your job.

00:15:25.260 That is completely dishonest

00:15:27.560 and I wonder,

00:15:29.240 was he forced to do it

00:15:30.540 at the risk of losing his job?

00:15:34.100 Was there somebody who said,

00:15:35.240 look, here's the deal.

00:15:36.500 I only want you to say

00:15:37.680 there was one.

00:15:39.480 Well, but there were 15.

00:15:41.800 Yeah, I know.

00:15:43.300 But I want you to say

00:15:44.060 there was one

00:15:44.840 or we'll fire you.

00:15:47.300 Do you think that happened?

00:15:48.980 Because if it didn't happen,

00:15:50.740 he's a piece of fucking shit.

00:15:53.360 I mean, that is one fucking

00:15:54.980 worthless piece of shit person

00:15:56.640 unless he was forced.

00:15:58.180 And I'm going to give them

00:15:59.440 the benefit of a doubt

00:16:00.560 that he was coerced

00:16:02.180 to be that bad.

00:16:05.140 Because if he did that naturally,

00:16:06.920 if that was organic,

00:16:08.580 no, it couldn't have been

00:16:09.840 because I've seen him work.

00:16:11.700 I mean, you can tell he's biased,

00:16:13.320 but he's not a fucking idiot.

00:16:16.360 Right?

00:16:17.200 So he was presenting himself

00:16:18.720 as really just a fucking idiot.

00:16:21.180 And there's no way

00:16:22.360 that's real or organic

00:16:23.720 because he isn't.

00:16:25.180 He's clearly unethical

00:16:26.760 and corrupt.

00:16:27.980 That seems obvious.

00:16:29.780 But he's not dumb.

00:16:31.640 Anyway.

00:16:35.100 Ontario, the wait is over.

00:16:37.620 The gold standard

00:16:38.380 of online casinos

00:16:39.400 has arrived.

00:16:40.460 Golden Nugget Online Casino

00:16:42.020 is live,

00:16:42.740 bringing Vegas-style excitement

00:17:36.060 So that wasn't a joke.

00:17:38.500 Bill Mitchell had a list

00:17:39.980 of the things

00:17:40.880 that Harris said wrong.

00:17:43.140 I had maybe a quibble

00:17:44.580 with a few of them,

00:17:45.520 so I removed them,

00:17:46.620 but I'll tell you

00:17:47.140 the ones that are obvious.

00:17:49.640 So Harris used

00:17:50.640 the fine people hoax

00:17:51.880 and was not fact-checked

00:17:54.140 by the hosts.

00:17:55.680 Keep in mind

00:17:56.700 that the hosts

00:17:57.800 fact-checked Trump

00:17:59.440 in real-time.

00:18:01.100 I saw two different numbers.

00:18:02.760 One said four times

00:18:03.780 and one said seven.

00:18:05.820 Four for sure.

00:18:08.260 But none,

00:18:09.760 Harris was never

00:18:10.660 fact-checked in real-time.

00:18:13.240 And we'll talk about

00:18:13.980 what they fact-checked

00:18:14.800 on Trump.

00:18:15.720 But she put down

00:18:17.280 the fine people hoax,

00:18:18.580 didn't get caught.

00:18:20.340 She said Project 2020

00:18:21.820 was Trump's.

00:18:23.440 That's not.

00:18:25.000 She said he wanted

00:18:26.100 to be a dictator.

00:18:27.700 That's fake.

00:18:28.840 Wanted to terminate

00:18:29.760 the Constitution.

00:18:30.920 Nope.

00:18:31.320 Nothing like that.

00:18:32.720 She said that Trump

00:18:33.480 told Putin

00:18:34.540 that he could,

00:18:35.920 quote,

00:18:36.180 do whatever the hell

00:18:36.900 he wants

00:18:37.360 and go into Ukraine.

00:18:38.440 Nothing like that

00:18:39.140 ever happened.

00:18:40.240 She blamed the Afghanistan

00:18:41.420 withdrawal on Trump.

00:18:42.900 That's ridiculous.

00:18:44.160 She used the bloodbath hoax

00:18:45.760 that was Trump

00:18:46.640 talking about economics,

00:18:48.280 and they made it sound

00:18:49.040 like it was going

00:18:49.640 to be a violent insurrection.

00:18:53.480 She said that

00:18:55.080 Trump would have

00:18:56.060 an abortion monitor.

00:18:57.760 That doesn't make sense,

00:18:59.600 and he's never suggested

00:19:00.660 anything like that.

00:19:02.660 She said that,

00:19:04.060 back in the 70s,

00:19:06.840 was it,

00:19:07.740 that Trump refused

00:19:09.720 to rent to black families.

00:19:11.580 my understanding

00:19:13.400 of that is

00:19:14.040 that the Trump

00:19:14.840 company

00:19:16.220 pled guilty

00:19:17.420 to discriminating

00:19:18.540 in renting,

00:19:20.820 but that that was

00:19:22.020 never tied to Trump.

00:19:24.300 So,

00:19:24.980 so there was

00:19:26.060 an acknowledgement

00:19:27.040 by the staff

00:19:28.480 that they did,

00:19:29.280 but there was

00:19:30.100 no,

00:19:30.500 no smoking gun

00:19:31.760 that said Trump

00:19:32.360 told them to do it.

00:19:34.660 Use your own judgment

00:19:35.760 on that one.

00:19:37.160 Central PAC 5,

00:19:38.920 she,

00:19:39.300 Harris said that

00:19:39.920 Trump called for

00:19:40.620 executing the Central

00:19:41.740 Park 5.

00:19:42.660 That was not true.

00:19:44.380 He called for execution

00:19:45.460 in general

00:19:46.180 and did not mention

00:19:47.160 the Central Park 5.

00:19:49.160 And,

00:19:49.500 also,

00:19:50.580 when Trump

00:19:52.680 defended himself,

00:19:53.980 he said that

00:19:54.860 that was when

00:19:55.700 they had been

00:19:56.140 found guilty.

00:19:57.460 Later,

00:19:58.300 I think that changed.

00:20:00.120 But,

00:20:00.500 oh,

00:20:00.720 no,

00:20:00.900 the police,

00:20:02.100 I think it was based

00:20:02.760 on the police

00:20:03.440 saying they were guilty.

00:20:04.980 So that was

00:20:05.360 Trump's defense.

00:20:06.180 There was

00:20:08.460 the suckers

00:20:09.000 and losers

00:20:09.480 hoax

00:20:09.940 Trump never

00:20:10.940 called

00:20:11.380 military veterans

00:20:12.940 suckers and losers.

00:20:14.260 There was a,

00:20:15.040 then Harris

00:20:15.540 had a new one.

00:20:16.660 She referred

00:20:17.640 to Trump's

00:20:19.140 tariffs

00:20:20.240 as a national

00:20:21.640 sales tax

00:20:22.500 and never

00:20:23.500 explained

00:20:24.020 that what she

00:20:24.540 meant was,

00:20:25.420 in effect,

00:20:27.080 that a tariff

00:20:28.040 would look like

00:20:28.720 a sales tax

00:20:29.560 to Americans.

00:20:31.840 So that was

00:20:32.600 just a lie

00:20:33.180 because she

00:20:33.920 didn't explain

00:20:34.480 what the context

00:20:35.160 was.

00:20:38.260 She distorted

00:20:39.860 unemployment figures.

00:20:41.840 She,

00:20:42.260 what else

00:20:44.520 did she do?

00:20:47.580 It's quite a long

00:20:48.540 list there.

00:20:51.940 She said

00:20:52.760 that there

00:20:53.240 are no troops

00:20:53.900 in combat zones

00:20:55.180 under the

00:20:56.060 Biden administration.

00:20:58.020 She said

00:20:58.440 that five police

00:20:59.200 officers died

00:21:00.460 on January 6th.

00:21:02.180 She alleged,

00:21:03.400 the way she said

00:21:04.220 it was like

00:21:04.820 they died

00:21:05.220 during the event.

00:21:06.400 That was not

00:21:07.140 the case.

00:21:11.200 And let's see,

00:21:12.140 there was another,

00:21:12.900 I think there was

00:21:13.460 one point

00:21:13.900 where she had

00:21:14.460 three hoaxes

00:21:16.820 and one answer.

00:21:20.880 In one answer,

00:21:22.260 she used

00:21:22.600 the find people

00:21:23.320 hoax,

00:21:23.800 the stand back

00:21:24.480 and stand by

00:21:25.360 thing as if

00:21:26.840 it was a militia

00:21:27.820 she was talking

00:21:28.500 about,

00:21:29.040 he was talking

00:21:29.620 about,

00:21:29.920 but he wasn't.

00:21:31.080 And then the

00:21:31.560 bloodbath one.

00:21:32.280 So,

00:21:34.480 here's the thing.

00:21:38.160 It seems

00:21:38.920 clear to me

00:21:39.760 two things.

00:21:41.320 Number one,

00:21:42.940 Kamala Harris

00:21:43.600 knew in advance

00:21:44.720 that she would

00:21:45.460 not be fact

00:21:46.180 checked.

00:21:47.320 Don't you think

00:21:48.120 that's true?

00:21:49.580 Do you think

00:21:50.200 she would have

00:21:50.640 brought out

00:21:51.020 the find people

00:21:51.820 hoax if she

00:21:53.920 thought ABC

00:21:54.580 was going to

00:21:55.120 fact check her?

00:21:55.760 I don't think

00:21:57.320 so.

00:21:58.280 Somehow she

00:21:59.000 knew she

00:21:59.420 wouldn't be

00:21:59.860 fact checked

00:22:00.400 and he

00:22:00.760 would.

00:22:02.160 Right?

00:22:04.320 Now,

00:22:04.920 I saw

00:22:05.340 Mike Cernovich

00:22:06.640 and some

00:22:07.160 other people

00:22:07.620 suggest that

00:22:09.100 she had

00:22:09.540 gotten the

00:22:10.000 questions in

00:22:10.740 advance

00:22:11.300 because when

00:22:12.980 the initial

00:22:13.820 question came

00:22:14.560 out,

00:22:14.960 she had

00:22:15.340 great answers,

00:22:16.640 but when

00:22:17.480 there was

00:22:18.340 any kind

00:22:18.680 of follow-up,

00:22:20.400 she struggled

00:22:21.120 a little bit.

00:22:22.500 Now,

00:22:22.840 I'm not

00:22:23.620 sure you

00:22:24.420 could tell

00:22:24.940 from that

00:22:25.600 alone,

00:22:27.080 you know,

00:22:27.280 because

00:22:27.460 confirmation

00:22:28.100 bias would

00:22:28.820 slip in

00:22:29.280 there a

00:22:29.560 little bit

00:22:29.840 and you'd

00:22:30.400 imagine you're

00:22:31.040 seeing it

00:22:31.460 even if it's

00:22:31.940 not there,

00:22:32.660 but here's

00:22:33.720 why I think

00:22:34.360 she saw

00:22:34.840 the questions,

00:22:37.160 and many

00:22:38.260 of you knew

00:22:38.600 this,

00:22:39.300 that the

00:22:39.820 head of

00:22:40.560 the network,

00:22:42.400 the CEO,

00:22:43.560 who owns

00:22:44.460 Disney,

00:22:45.040 that owns

00:22:45.400 ABC,

00:22:46.580 is her best

00:22:47.380 friend for

00:22:47.820 30 years.

00:22:51.320 Do you

00:22:52.360 think that

00:22:52.820 somebody's

00:22:53.260 best friend

00:22:53.960 of 30

00:22:54.460 years,

00:22:55.000 I don't

00:22:55.280 know if

00:22:55.460 they're best

00:22:55.840 friends,

00:22:56.240 but they're

00:22:56.580 good friends

00:22:57.260 for 30

00:22:57.720 years,

00:22:58.820 do you

00:22:59.480 think they're

00:22:59.900 a good

00:23:00.200 friend of

00:23:00.560 30 years

00:23:00.980 and wouldn't

00:23:01.540 tell her

00:23:01.880 the questions?

00:23:03.920 See,

00:23:04.300 in the world

00:23:04.800 I live in,

00:23:05.440 it's just

00:23:05.840 guaranteed.

00:23:07.020 If your

00:23:07.580 best friend

00:23:08.100 has access

00:23:08.720 to the

00:23:09.080 questions,

00:23:10.220 and she

00:23:10.620 would,

00:23:11.680 because she

00:23:12.080 could just

00:23:12.480 say,

00:23:12.820 hey,

00:23:13.700 before you

00:23:14.240 ask the

00:23:14.560 questions,

00:23:15.000 you need

00:23:15.320 to run

00:23:15.640 them by

00:23:15.960 management,

00:23:17.540 and then

00:23:17.900 she just

00:23:18.240 sees them,

00:23:18.980 and then

00:23:19.560 she goes to

00:23:20.100 Kamala Harris,

00:23:20.740 and she goes,

00:23:21.080 hey,

00:23:22.020 here's what

00:23:22.440 the questions

00:23:22.900 are.

00:23:24.340 Now,

00:23:24.940 if you're

00:23:25.820 telling me

00:23:26.260 that her

00:23:26.600 friend didn't

00:23:27.340 do that for

00:23:27.940 her,

00:23:28.640 knowing that

00:23:29.220 there was a

00:23:29.740 zero chance

00:23:30.540 of getting

00:23:30.840 caught,

00:23:32.240 because all

00:23:32.640 she had to

00:23:33.060 do is say,

00:23:33.940 look,

00:23:34.880 I wrote this

00:23:35.680 on a piece

00:23:36.120 of paper,

00:23:36.860 take this to

00:23:37.500 Kamala,

00:23:37.980 make sure

00:23:38.300 nobody else

00:23:38.800 sees it,

00:23:39.540 it would be

00:23:39.900 the easiest

00:23:40.320 thing in the

00:23:40.820 world not

00:23:41.200 to get caught.

00:23:42.740 So,

00:23:43.300 if it has

00:23:43.800 a high

00:23:44.320 benefit,

00:23:45.900 and you have

00:23:47.000 easy access

00:23:47.720 to it,

00:23:48.700 you're literally

00:23:49.200 the boss,

00:23:49.840 high benefit,

00:23:53.880 no chance

00:23:54.460 of getting

00:23:54.700 caught,

00:23:55.200 easy access.

00:23:57.100 Under those

00:23:57.720 conditions,

00:23:58.420 cheating happens

00:23:59.080 almost every

00:23:59.740 time.

00:24:01.400 So,

00:24:01.660 you don't

00:24:01.820 have to,

00:24:02.620 I don't

00:24:04.180 think you

00:24:04.480 have to

00:24:04.760 dissect the

00:24:05.920 difference

00:24:06.300 between the

00:24:06.940 prepared answers

00:24:08.120 and the

00:24:08.640 less prepared

00:24:09.280 answers.

00:24:10.260 There's

00:24:10.500 something to

00:24:10.980 that.

00:24:11.720 There was

00:24:12.140 one example

00:24:12.940 I think

00:24:13.320 was she

00:24:14.580 somehow

00:24:15.000 knew that

00:24:15.700 there were

00:24:16.760 9,000

00:24:17.780 or however

00:24:19.520 many she

00:24:20.060 knew.

00:24:20.480 She knew

00:24:20.840 the number

00:24:21.220 of Polish

00:24:21.740 people living

00:24:22.340 in Pennsylvania

00:24:22.920 for some

00:24:23.500 reason,

00:24:24.500 which sounds

00:24:25.000 like something

00:24:25.440 you wouldn't

00:24:25.980 even know,

00:24:26.920 there was no

00:24:27.320 reason to

00:24:27.800 know it,

00:24:28.820 unless you

00:24:29.420 had to

00:24:29.740 prepare for

00:24:30.520 the question.

00:24:32.020 So,

00:24:32.700 there were

00:24:33.360 some signals

00:24:34.380 as she

00:24:34.820 prepared for

00:24:35.380 the question,

00:24:35.940 but I'm

00:24:36.180 telling you

00:24:36.600 that the

00:24:37.020 setup largely

00:24:39.000 guarantees she

00:24:39.800 saw the

00:24:40.160 questions,

00:24:41.180 largely

00:24:41.580 guarantees.

00:24:42.120 I mean,

00:24:43.200 in the

00:24:43.400 world I

00:24:43.820 live in,

00:24:44.600 if your

00:24:45.480 friend has

00:24:46.000 a big

00:24:46.300 benefit for

00:24:46.960 you,

00:24:48.120 easy access

00:24:48.860 to it,

00:24:50.100 and almost

00:24:50.580 no way to

00:24:51.120 get caught,

00:24:52.060 and even if

00:24:52.580 you got

00:24:52.880 caught,

00:24:53.340 it would be

00:24:53.740 blown off.

00:24:54.540 I mean,

00:24:54.800 people would

00:24:55.200 say,

00:24:55.380 yeah,

00:24:55.600 well,

00:24:56.820 yeah,

00:24:57.140 it happens

00:24:57.520 every time

00:24:58.120 in that

00:24:58.420 condition.

00:25:01.560 All right,

00:25:02.360 let's see.

00:25:07.320 So,

00:25:08.280 here's some

00:25:09.940 of the fact

00:25:10.480 checks.

00:25:12.120 Well,

00:25:13.040 we'll talk

00:25:13.320 about that

00:25:13.620 separately.

00:25:14.340 Let me

00:25:14.780 give you

00:25:15.040 the overall.

00:25:18.020 Harris won

00:25:18.800 the handshake.

00:25:20.100 How many

00:25:20.420 of you

00:25:20.600 noticed that?

00:25:22.360 So,

00:25:22.960 Trump does

00:25:23.460 this thing

00:25:23.860 where he

00:25:24.160 establishes

00:25:24.860 dominance

00:25:25.280 with his

00:25:25.880 handshake,

00:25:26.700 like he'll

00:25:27.680 grab your

00:25:28.080 hand and

00:25:28.540 pull you

00:25:28.920 in and,

00:25:29.560 you know,

00:25:29.860 like control

00:25:30.440 you with

00:25:30.960 two hands,

00:25:31.900 and it's

00:25:33.600 a strategy.

00:25:34.620 It kind

00:25:35.260 of establishes

00:25:36.160 your alpha

00:25:36.780 dominance because

00:25:37.620 you controlled

00:25:38.300 the handshake.

00:25:38.960 It wasn't

00:25:39.780 an equal

00:25:40.260 thing.

00:25:40.560 And if

00:25:41.860 you noticed

00:25:42.380 when they

00:25:42.880 both walked

00:25:43.480 on stage,

00:25:45.120 that Harris

00:25:45.740 closed the

00:25:46.640 distance and

00:25:47.720 shook hands

00:25:48.240 with him

00:25:48.600 behind his

00:25:49.160 own podium.

00:25:50.760 So,

00:25:51.220 Trump,

00:25:52.200 instead of

00:25:52.640 meeting her

00:25:53.060 halfway,

00:25:54.120 she walked

00:25:54.600 to him and

00:25:55.340 then she

00:25:55.980 introduced

00:25:56.460 herself.

00:25:57.600 Hi,

00:25:57.880 I'm Kamala

00:25:58.320 Harris.

00:25:59.580 Now,

00:26:00.160 that was

00:26:00.440 funny because

00:26:02.060 I think he

00:26:03.480 probably knew

00:26:04.260 who she

00:26:04.580 was without

00:26:05.520 the introduction,

00:26:06.340 but they

00:26:07.080 had never

00:26:07.380 met.

00:26:08.780 So,

00:26:09.280 if you've

00:26:09.520 never met,

00:26:10.700 it's sort

00:26:11.580 of normal

00:26:11.940 to say

00:26:12.320 your name.

00:26:13.600 It's kind

00:26:13.960 of weird

00:26:14.260 when famous

00:26:14.840 people say

00:26:16.560 their name.

00:26:17.000 I've had the

00:26:17.640 same experience.

00:26:19.240 You know,

00:26:19.420 I'll be in an

00:26:19.960 event where

00:26:20.540 people went

00:26:21.060 there to

00:26:21.400 see me,

00:26:22.760 and I'll

00:26:25.060 still introduce

00:26:25.720 myself.

00:26:27.180 You know,

00:26:27.500 like,

00:26:27.880 we came here

00:26:28.460 to see you.

00:26:29.380 We kind

00:26:30.080 of know

00:26:30.360 your name,

00:26:31.320 but it's

00:26:31.620 just an

00:26:32.000 automatic

00:26:32.300 habit.

00:26:33.220 Anyway,

00:26:33.940 so I think

00:26:34.620 that she

00:26:35.480 immediately

00:26:37.340 and strategically,

00:26:39.040 I don't

00:26:39.400 think any

00:26:39.820 of that

00:26:40.020 was an

00:26:40.340 accident,

00:26:41.420 she took

00:26:42.140 the handshake

00:26:43.000 initiative.

00:26:45.700 Number two,

00:26:46.600 I thought

00:26:47.360 they both

00:26:47.760 looked great.

00:26:49.320 Did anybody

00:26:49.760 have that

00:26:50.280 impression?

00:26:51.960 So,

00:26:52.580 compliments

00:26:53.000 to hair

00:26:54.080 and makeup,

00:26:55.500 compliments

00:26:55.880 to whoever

00:26:56.780 dressed them,

00:26:58.300 compliments

00:26:58.660 to whoever

00:26:59.300 did the

00:27:00.040 lighting,

00:27:01.500 but I

00:27:02.100 thought both

00:27:02.620 of them

00:27:02.880 looked great,

00:27:03.920 like as

00:27:04.320 good as

00:27:04.720 they've

00:27:04.920 ever

00:27:05.100 looked.

00:27:05.640 Trump

00:27:05.880 looked

00:27:06.120 great.

00:27:07.280 I mean,

00:27:07.500 he looked

00:27:07.820 young and

00:27:08.620 energetic,

00:27:09.240 his hair

00:27:09.520 was on

00:27:09.900 point,

00:27:10.320 his makeup

00:27:10.760 was good.

00:27:12.280 Harris

00:27:12.520 looked better

00:27:12.980 than I've

00:27:13.300 ever seen

00:27:13.780 her recently.

00:27:16.760 So,

00:27:17.380 real good

00:27:17.760 job on

00:27:18.860 the support

00:27:19.600 staff making

00:27:20.440 both of

00:27:20.880 them look

00:27:21.200 good.

00:27:23.960 The bottom

00:27:24.900 line is that

00:27:25.520 Harris beat

00:27:26.120 expectations

00:27:26.940 because she

00:27:27.840 was well

00:27:28.240 prepared,

00:27:28.860 probably knew

00:27:29.280 the questions,

00:27:30.560 and she

00:27:31.940 simply did

00:27:32.540 her standard

00:27:34.480 answers.

00:27:35.920 Now,

00:27:36.820 Trump said

00:27:38.480 he had his

00:27:38.920 best ever

00:27:39.480 debate,

00:27:40.380 and he's

00:27:41.120 not wrong

00:27:41.620 about that.

00:27:43.460 I actually

00:27:44.400 felt that

00:27:45.420 if it had

00:27:45.880 been a

00:27:46.280 normal debate

00:27:46.960 against a

00:27:47.480 normal person,

00:27:49.100 you know,

00:27:49.400 under fair

00:27:49.960 circumstances,

00:27:52.100 I could

00:27:52.540 imagine that

00:27:53.120 you would

00:27:53.420 rank him

00:27:53.780 the winner.

00:27:54.760 But it

00:27:55.260 wasn't that.

00:27:56.140 You know,

00:27:56.320 the moderators

00:27:57.400 were clearly

00:27:58.000 on one side.

00:27:59.200 We'll talk

00:27:59.660 about that.

00:28:00.840 And he

00:28:02.380 missed a

00:28:03.400 lot of

00:28:03.740 layups,

00:28:05.040 meaning that

00:28:05.660 she gave

00:28:06.220 him so

00:28:06.840 many openings

00:28:07.640 to end

00:28:08.480 the race,

00:28:09.420 he didn't

00:28:09.760 take any

00:28:10.120 of them.

00:28:11.100 Why?

00:28:12.460 I don't

00:28:13.080 know.

00:28:14.200 I don't

00:28:14.480 know.

00:28:15.380 Was he

00:28:15.920 not skilled

00:28:17.400 enough?

00:28:17.900 Was he

00:28:18.160 not prepared?

00:28:19.680 I mean,

00:28:19.960 when the

00:28:20.300 fine people

00:28:20.840 hoax came

00:28:21.660 up,

00:28:22.960 you know,

00:28:23.140 he dismissed

00:28:24.020 it as a

00:28:24.700 debunked

00:28:25.180 hoax.

00:28:27.000 Do you

00:28:27.460 know what

00:28:27.720 else he

00:28:28.080 could have

00:28:28.300 done?

00:28:28.520 He could

00:28:30.340 have turned

00:28:30.680 to the

00:28:30.980 moderators

00:28:31.500 and say,

00:28:32.920 are you

00:28:34.360 guys debunking

00:28:35.320 hoaxes

00:28:35.740 today,

00:28:36.160 or are you

00:28:36.400 just going

00:28:36.720 to leave

00:28:36.880 this one

00:28:37.200 for me?

00:28:39.060 Just

00:28:39.460 imagine

00:28:39.940 that.

00:28:40.860 If he

00:28:41.360 had just

00:28:41.640 turned to

00:28:42.040 the hosts

00:28:42.560 and said,

00:28:43.900 are you

00:28:44.400 jumping in

00:28:44.900 with any

00:28:45.400 fact-checking

00:28:46.760 here,

00:28:47.180 or do you

00:28:47.500 want me to

00:28:47.860 do this

00:28:48.180 one?

00:28:49.200 Then he

00:28:49.680 should have

00:28:49.980 said,

00:28:50.440 if it

00:28:50.860 was up

00:28:51.160 to him,

00:28:52.240 so first

00:28:52.760 of all,

00:28:53.060 he should

00:28:53.280 have called

00:28:53.600 out the

00:28:53.940 hosts for

00:28:54.560 not being

00:28:55.640 equal fact-checking.

00:28:56.860 If not

00:28:57.400 then,

00:28:57.780 then at

00:28:59.340 least when

00:28:59.700 it became

00:29:00.080 an obvious

00:29:00.520 pattern,

00:29:01.200 he should

00:29:01.520 have hit

00:29:02.720 it.

00:29:03.620 So that

00:29:04.040 was a

00:29:04.840 missed

00:29:05.020 opportunity.

00:29:06.140 He should

00:29:06.540 have said,

00:29:07.180 if you're

00:29:08.220 watching at

00:29:08.680 home,

00:29:09.180 for some

00:29:09.720 of you,

00:29:10.000 this will

00:29:10.240 be the

00:29:10.540 first time

00:29:11.060 you ever

00:29:11.420 heard that

00:29:11.920 the

00:29:12.100 fine people

00:29:12.640 hoax was

00:29:13.220 a hoax.

00:29:14.240 You're not

00:29:14.860 going to

00:29:15.080 believe me

00:29:15.600 when I tell

00:29:16.080 you it's a

00:29:16.440 hoax,

00:29:16.780 but do

00:29:17.020 this.

00:29:18.060 Go to

00:29:18.420 Snopes and

00:29:19.700 just look up

00:29:20.240 the fine

00:29:20.600 people hoax,

00:29:21.720 and you'll

00:29:22.020 find out that

00:29:22.700 Biden ran

00:29:23.480 his entire

00:29:24.120 campaign on

00:29:25.640 something that

00:29:26.460 you could

00:29:27.060 have told

00:29:27.440 was fake

00:29:28.080 simply by

00:29:29.140 listening to

00:29:29.640 the whole

00:29:29.940 video instead

00:29:30.660 of the

00:29:30.900 edited one.

00:29:32.300 Just think

00:29:33.020 about who

00:29:33.440 I'm running

00:29:33.820 against.

00:29:34.840 They ran

00:29:35.520 that entire

00:29:36.800 hoax and

00:29:37.540 the media,

00:29:38.420 and you see

00:29:39.160 that your

00:29:39.580 ABC hosts

00:29:40.540 are sitting

00:29:40.940 here silently.

00:29:42.380 They let

00:29:43.080 that go.

00:29:44.160 It's the

00:29:44.560 most dangerous

00:29:45.180 hoax in

00:29:45.660 American history,

00:29:46.800 and they just

00:29:47.740 sat there and

00:29:48.300 let you say

00:29:49.200 that right in

00:29:49.660 front of the

00:29:50.020 public.

00:29:50.300 I'm going

00:29:51.420 to end

00:29:51.680 that tonight.

00:29:53.000 Every one

00:29:53.540 of you,

00:29:53.920 you've got a

00:29:54.360 computer at

00:29:54.920 home.

00:29:55.520 Go to

00:29:55.840 Snopes.

00:29:56.680 It's a

00:29:57.140 left-leaning

00:29:57.860 fact-checker,

00:29:58.800 so you can

00:29:59.220 know that if

00:30:00.180 they fact-check

00:30:00.840 this one,

00:30:01.880 it wasn't

00:30:02.560 because they

00:30:03.940 were being

00:30:04.360 biased.

00:30:05.700 He could

00:30:06.220 have ended

00:30:06.700 the entire

00:30:07.300 election would

00:30:09.120 be over.

00:30:10.460 She just

00:30:10.880 handed him

00:30:11.520 the kill

00:30:12.220 shot,

00:30:12.640 and he

00:30:12.800 didn't

00:30:12.960 take it.

00:30:14.600 I felt

00:30:15.060 like that

00:30:15.700 happened

00:30:16.080 several times.

00:30:17.820 He is

00:30:18.440 terrible at

00:30:19.900 explaining his

00:30:20.760 way and

00:30:21.320 of hoaxes.

00:30:22.780 I don't

00:30:23.400 know why,

00:30:24.160 because he's

00:30:24.540 so good at

00:30:25.020 everything else.

00:30:25.860 It's kind

00:30:26.540 of a mystery

00:30:26.960 to me.

00:30:28.760 But it's

00:30:29.400 obvious now

00:30:30.000 that the

00:30:30.540 campaign knows

00:30:33.000 that she's

00:30:34.440 not going to

00:30:34.820 get fact-checked

00:30:35.700 by the media,

00:30:36.800 and they know

00:30:37.600 that they can

00:30:38.080 overload him

00:30:38.880 with hoaxes,

00:30:39.880 and it will

00:30:40.460 just make him

00:30:41.040 frustrated and

00:30:42.100 keep him off

00:30:42.760 point.

00:30:43.860 So she

00:30:44.280 offloaded,

00:30:45.100 she just

00:30:45.580 went heavy

00:30:46.780 with the

00:30:47.160 hoaxes,

00:30:48.080 and it

00:30:49.780 worked.

00:30:51.160 They

00:30:51.360 worked.

00:30:53.400 So once

00:30:54.500 again, yet

00:30:56.060 another signal

00:30:57.140 that her

00:30:58.340 advisors are

00:31:00.040 really, really

00:31:00.820 good.

00:31:01.980 I hate to

00:31:02.920 say it, but

00:31:03.500 they're really

00:31:03.980 good.

00:31:04.600 I keep

00:31:04.920 telling you,

00:31:05.900 it's not an

00:31:06.680 accident that

00:31:08.240 things look

00:31:09.380 different for

00:31:10.000 her kind of

00:31:10.640 suddenly.

00:31:11.040 It's her

00:31:11.380 advisors.

00:31:12.360 They're really

00:31:13.180 good.

00:31:14.160 And if they

00:31:14.580 told her,

00:31:15.440 look, just

00:31:16.500 keep dumping

00:31:17.100 those hoaxes

00:31:17.780 on them,

00:31:18.600 because you

00:31:19.100 just bury

00:31:19.560 them in

00:31:19.820 hoaxes,

00:31:20.280 nobody's

00:31:20.600 going to

00:31:20.780 fact check

00:31:21.180 it anyway.

00:31:22.360 That was

00:31:22.920 the right

00:31:23.220 advice.

00:31:24.740 I mean, if

00:31:25.400 you're unethical

00:31:26.140 and a weasel.

00:31:28.420 But it's

00:31:28.960 politics, so

00:31:29.680 it's normal.

00:31:32.400 Some people

00:31:33.120 said, Scott,

00:31:34.680 you idiot.

00:31:36.220 It wasn't a

00:31:36.920 tie.

00:31:37.320 I kind of

00:31:37.700 called it a

00:31:38.180 tie, meaning

00:31:39.000 that it

00:31:39.840 didn't change

00:31:40.300 many votes.

00:31:41.620 But people

00:31:44.620 said to me,

00:31:45.220 but Scott,

00:31:46.420 she said the

00:31:47.160 thing that

00:31:47.740 was wrong,

00:31:48.500 and then

00:31:48.920 Trump

00:31:49.680 correctly

00:31:50.600 corrected it,

00:31:52.420 so he gets

00:31:53.260 the point,

00:31:53.980 and then there

00:31:54.680 were lots of

00:31:55.140 points he

00:31:55.540 made, so if

00:31:56.300 he had it

00:31:56.660 all up,

00:31:57.040 he won.

00:31:57.700 That's not

00:31:58.300 how anything

00:31:58.800 works.

00:32:00.020 It wasn't a

00:32:00.700 debate in

00:32:02.200 the sense that

00:32:03.000 there was any

00:32:03.420 back and

00:32:03.840 forth of

00:32:04.980 any consequence.

00:32:07.280 And it

00:32:09.960 doesn't matter

00:32:10.640 who won on

00:32:11.240 points.

00:32:12.480 It matters

00:32:13.240 how you

00:32:13.600 felt.

00:32:14.960 That's it.

00:32:15.800 So I

00:32:16.380 didn't even

00:32:16.740 score it on

00:32:17.440 points.

00:32:18.180 It's not

00:32:18.540 like a

00:32:18.840 boxing match

00:32:19.500 where you

00:32:19.820 could win

00:32:20.200 within a

00:32:20.660 knockout.

00:32:21.460 No, none

00:32:21.920 of those

00:32:22.260 points made

00:32:22.960 any difference

00:32:23.460 to anybody

00:32:23.960 at all.

00:32:25.960 So if she

00:32:26.780 avoided a

00:32:27.360 question, some

00:32:28.180 people said,

00:32:29.160 ah, but the

00:32:30.040 public's going

00:32:30.600 to notice that

00:32:32.040 she avoided

00:32:32.600 the very first

00:32:33.340 question, are

00:32:33.940 people better

00:32:34.480 off or worse

00:32:35.100 off?

00:32:35.480 She didn't

00:32:35.860 even answer.

00:32:36.820 To which I

00:32:37.680 say, nobody's

00:32:39.200 going to care

00:32:39.600 that she

00:32:39.940 avoided a

00:32:41.960 question.

00:32:42.540 It's the

00:32:42.880 most ordinary

00:32:43.840 thing that

00:32:44.340 politicians do.

00:32:45.980 And I'll go

00:32:46.720 further and

00:32:47.240 say that when

00:32:48.520 I first got

00:32:49.660 into the

00:32:50.180 public sphere

00:32:52.240 when Dilbert

00:32:53.300 took off, my

00:32:54.880 publisher decided

00:32:55.940 that I needed

00:32:56.480 some media

00:32:57.040 training.

00:32:58.620 Here's the

00:32:59.420 entire media

00:33:00.220 training.

00:33:01.640 If you don't

00:33:02.260 like the

00:33:02.680 question that

00:33:03.300 they ask,

00:33:04.780 answer the

00:33:05.320 question you

00:33:05.860 feel like

00:33:06.320 answering, the

00:33:07.060 one that you

00:33:07.460 want to answer

00:33:07.960 that's good

00:33:08.360 for you, that's

00:33:10.020 it.

00:33:10.620 And then run

00:33:11.180 out the

00:33:11.460 clock.

00:33:13.440 Because if

00:33:14.020 somebody's asking

00:33:14.660 you questions,

00:33:15.300 it's usually on

00:33:16.040 video, they

00:33:17.120 usually have a

00:33:17.620 time limit.

00:33:18.620 So if you

00:33:19.160 don't like their

00:33:19.740 question, just

00:33:20.680 ignore it and

00:33:22.100 answer some

00:33:23.180 adjacent question

00:33:24.240 that's the one

00:33:24.880 you wish they

00:33:25.540 had asked.

00:33:26.760 And she did.

00:33:28.160 So if you're

00:33:28.900 saying to me,

00:33:29.700 but Scott, she's

00:33:30.460 showing her

00:33:30.880 weakness by

00:33:31.600 avoiding the

00:33:32.160 question.

00:33:33.020 Nope, that's

00:33:34.180 not what she

00:33:34.700 showed.

00:33:35.380 She showed

00:33:35.840 she's well

00:33:36.300 trained.

00:33:37.880 Avoiding that

00:33:38.540 first question

00:33:39.180 was exactly the

00:33:40.260 way she was

00:33:40.740 trained.

00:33:41.660 That is media

00:33:42.700 training.

00:33:43.640 It's exactly

00:33:44.360 what it looks

00:33:44.920 like.

00:33:45.880 So was she

00:33:47.260 prepared?

00:33:48.240 Yeah, yeah,

00:33:49.460 she was

00:33:49.780 prepared.

00:33:52.740 Some say

00:33:53.620 her, you

00:33:54.200 know, her

00:33:54.520 smugness will

00:33:55.360 be a turn

00:33:55.820 off.

00:33:56.660 Others say,

00:33:57.460 I saw

00:33:57.700 Fisher King

00:33:58.320 note this

00:33:58.920 on X that

00:34:00.320 her facial

00:34:02.560 expressions where

00:34:03.560 she was sort

00:34:04.000 of sort of

00:34:05.300 mocking Trump

00:34:06.260 for his

00:34:07.020 various points

00:34:07.760 is, you

00:34:08.820 know, looking

00:34:09.440 like, what's

00:34:09.980 wrong with

00:34:10.440 you?

00:34:11.240 Oh, oh,

00:34:12.740 are you being

00:34:13.440 crazy now?

00:34:15.100 You know, so

00:34:16.440 she really

00:34:17.120 worked the

00:34:17.780 facial stuff.

00:34:19.360 And to me,

00:34:20.600 it was very

00:34:21.080 off-putting.

00:34:22.660 But was I

00:34:24.260 going to vote

00:34:24.660 for her?

00:34:25.220 No, didn't

00:34:25.900 matter what I

00:34:26.480 thought.

00:34:27.420 What do the

00:34:28.380 single women

00:34:29.200 and the

00:34:29.620 people in

00:34:30.040 her base

00:34:30.580 think about

00:34:31.900 all the

00:34:32.200 faces she

00:34:32.840 was making

00:34:33.280 at Trump?

00:34:34.480 Probably loved

00:34:35.260 it because

00:34:36.620 they were

00:34:36.900 feeling the

00:34:37.420 same feeling

00:34:37.940 that her

00:34:38.320 face was

00:34:39.080 exhibiting and

00:34:40.400 it probably

00:34:41.680 worked.

00:34:42.800 So you

00:34:43.840 can't judge

00:34:44.420 it by what

00:34:45.120 you think

00:34:45.600 of it.

00:34:45.900 You have

00:34:46.120 to judge

00:34:46.540 the debate

00:34:47.020 by what

00:34:47.520 the people

00:34:48.500 she's talking

00:34:49.160 to likely

00:34:50.200 responded to.

00:34:52.280 And I

00:34:52.680 think they

00:34:52.940 probably

00:34:53.220 responded to

00:34:53.900 her face

00:34:54.440 if they

00:34:55.320 liked her.

00:34:56.960 There were

00:34:57.620 no great

00:34:58.380 memorable

00:35:00.080 lines that

00:35:01.340 change

00:35:01.680 anything,

00:35:02.040 but there

00:35:02.460 were a

00:35:02.620 couple of

00:35:02.920 funny

00:35:03.160 ones.

00:35:04.740 When

00:35:05.300 Harris

00:35:05.840 interrupted

00:35:06.500 Trump,

00:35:07.700 he did

00:35:08.320 the

00:35:08.600 I'm talking

00:35:09.380 now,

00:35:10.340 basically a

00:35:11.240 call back

00:35:11.720 to her

00:35:12.400 doing that

00:35:12.920 in the

00:35:13.180 debate.

00:35:15.440 And it

00:35:16.360 worked.

00:35:17.340 So he

00:35:18.360 took away

00:35:18.920 from her

00:35:19.320 the ability

00:35:19.800 to do

00:35:20.200 that to

00:35:20.580 him.

00:35:20.860 So he

00:35:21.440 was prepared

00:35:22.080 for that.

00:35:23.540 And he

00:35:23.840 handled it

00:35:24.660 by doing

00:35:25.060 it first.

00:35:26.240 Now,

00:35:26.780 if he

00:35:27.060 had prepared

00:35:27.900 to do

00:35:28.340 it first,

00:35:29.280 you know,

00:35:29.460 if she

00:35:29.800 ever

00:35:30.000 interrupted

00:35:30.480 me,

00:35:30.840 he would

00:35:30.960 do it

00:35:31.200 first,

00:35:32.440 you know,

00:35:32.600 give her

00:35:32.820 that line

00:35:33.340 and then

00:35:33.720 joke about

00:35:34.400 it.

00:35:35.200 That would

00:35:35.820 be good

00:35:36.460 preparing.

00:35:37.300 That would

00:35:37.640 have been

00:35:37.860 smart.

00:35:38.520 If he

00:35:39.140 wasn't

00:35:39.580 prepared

00:35:39.960 for it

00:35:40.540 and he

00:35:41.620 did it

00:35:42.080 spontaneously,

00:35:43.200 it was

00:35:44.380 even smarter.

00:35:45.980 So that

00:35:46.660 was just

00:35:46.980 a good

00:35:47.220 play,

00:35:48.040 whether he

00:35:48.800 was expecting

00:35:50.340 it or

00:35:50.700 not.

00:35:50.960 And then

00:35:54.020 she had a

00:35:54.440 good line

00:35:55.020 saying that

00:35:55.820 Trump was

00:35:56.500 fired by

00:35:57.120 81 million

00:35:57.740 people.

00:35:58.880 I mean,

00:35:59.080 that's a

00:35:59.400 good one

00:35:59.700 for her

00:36:00.040 base.

00:36:00.680 Oh,

00:36:01.660 you know,

00:36:01.920 you're the

00:36:02.260 guy who

00:36:02.620 fires people.

00:36:03.660 Well,

00:36:04.080 you got

00:36:04.460 fired by

00:36:04.960 81 million

00:36:05.600 people.

00:36:06.440 It's a

00:36:07.000 pretty good

00:36:07.320 line.

00:36:08.300 Politically,

00:36:09.320 it kind of

00:36:09.900 sticks in your

00:36:10.380 mind a little

00:36:10.820 bit.

00:36:11.200 Probably

00:36:11.500 will get

00:36:11.840 used again.

00:36:13.120 She did

00:36:13.860 bait Trump

00:36:14.700 and oh

00:36:15.780 my God,

00:36:16.280 when I saw

00:36:16.760 it happening,

00:36:17.400 I said,

00:36:17.800 don't go

00:36:18.140 in the

00:36:18.340 Trump.

00:36:19.040 When she

00:36:19.620 said that

00:36:20.260 Trump's

00:36:22.300 rally

00:36:23.060 crowds were

00:36:23.980 bored and

00:36:24.940 would leave

00:36:25.460 early,

00:36:26.720 as soon as

00:36:27.400 she said

00:36:27.820 that,

00:36:28.140 I said,

00:36:28.700 don't take

00:36:29.200 the bait.

00:36:30.740 Don't,

00:36:31.560 don't,

00:36:32.080 and he

00:36:32.480 took the

00:36:32.980 bait.

00:36:34.680 And I

00:36:35.480 could feel

00:36:35.880 my heart

00:36:36.540 just sink

00:36:37.160 because it

00:36:39.900 put her in

00:36:40.360 charge.

00:36:41.640 She was

00:36:42.360 basically

00:36:43.000 directing the

00:36:45.020 terms of

00:36:45.460 the conversation

00:36:46.200 and he

00:36:47.020 was letting

00:36:47.440 her because

00:36:48.960 he can't

00:36:49.780 handle the

00:36:50.500 apparently

00:36:51.020 he just

00:36:51.460 can't

00:36:51.780 handle

00:36:52.120 that kind

00:36:53.360 of specific

00:36:54.300 attack on

00:36:55.280 his ego,

00:36:55.940 I guess.

00:36:57.180 So that

00:36:58.460 was really

00:36:59.380 the baiting

00:37:01.840 of the

00:37:02.400 lesser important

00:37:03.260 things to

00:37:03.860 get him to

00:37:04.340 defend them.

00:37:05.360 That was

00:37:06.160 just brilliant.

00:37:07.740 That was

00:37:08.500 brilliant and

00:37:09.620 it worked.

00:37:11.880 She didn't

00:37:12.600 cackle very

00:37:13.240 much, so

00:37:14.220 her anti-cackle

00:37:15.680 efforts have

00:37:16.500 been successful.

00:37:17.160 I would

00:37:19.320 say of

00:37:19.640 Trump,

00:37:20.720 remember,

00:37:21.400 you know,

00:37:21.640 he said it

00:37:22.100 was his

00:37:22.700 best debate

00:37:23.520 ever and

00:37:24.140 I'm actually

00:37:24.760 agreeing even

00:37:26.300 while I'm

00:37:26.820 criticizing him

00:37:27.760 because I

00:37:28.580 think her

00:37:29.000 debate,

00:37:30.400 I hate to

00:37:31.660 say it,

00:37:32.020 but it's

00:37:32.260 one of the

00:37:32.860 best you're

00:37:33.220 ever going

00:37:33.520 to see

00:37:33.860 because she

00:37:34.860 was so

00:37:35.160 well prepared.

00:37:36.920 And I

00:37:37.120 think this

00:37:37.460 has more

00:37:38.520 to do with

00:37:39.100 her advisors

00:37:39.840 than it

00:37:40.460 does with

00:37:41.160 her,

00:37:42.100 honestly.

00:37:42.940 I don't

00:37:43.240 think you

00:37:43.520 give her

00:37:43.980 all the

00:37:44.400 credit.

00:37:44.700 You have

00:37:45.480 to say

00:37:45.780 her advisors

00:37:46.620 were just

00:37:47.200 right on

00:37:47.620 point.

00:37:48.300 I don't

00:37:48.740 think on

00:37:49.140 her own

00:37:49.740 she would

00:37:50.700 have come

00:37:51.000 up with

00:37:51.320 that rally

00:37:51.900 crowd thing.

00:37:53.640 But somebody

00:37:54.400 who really

00:37:54.840 knows the

00:37:55.960 psychology of

00:37:56.740 things said,

00:37:57.260 you know,

00:37:57.480 if you stick

00:37:57.940 that in

00:37:58.300 there,

00:37:58.940 you're going

00:37:59.240 to take

00:37:59.540 him right

00:37:59.840 off his

00:38:00.180 game.

00:38:01.220 She did

00:38:01.920 and it

00:38:02.300 did,

00:38:03.640 in my

00:38:04.320 opinion.

00:38:05.940 So here's

00:38:06.640 how I put it.

00:38:07.120 If I put it

00:38:07.620 in basketball

00:38:08.420 terms,

00:38:09.040 I would say

00:38:09.400 that Trump

00:38:09.940 made every

00:38:11.680 two-point

00:38:12.520 jump shot.

00:38:13.180 So if

00:38:15.780 he had

00:38:16.020 an open

00:38:16.380 jump shot,

00:38:17.580 he made

00:38:17.940 it cleanly.

00:38:18.920 So he

00:38:19.660 did everything

00:38:20.340 that's sort

00:38:20.960 of the

00:38:21.200 basics,

00:38:21.840 you know,

00:38:22.140 you want

00:38:22.400 to hit,

00:38:22.760 hit all

00:38:23.060 your points,

00:38:23.720 et cetera.

00:38:24.600 He missed

00:38:25.860 all of his

00:38:26.460 layups.

00:38:28.040 So like,

00:38:28.940 you know,

00:38:29.340 debunking the

00:38:30.420 find people

00:38:31.000 hoax and

00:38:31.640 ending the

00:38:32.320 entire

00:38:33.140 campaign,

00:38:33.940 that was

00:38:34.540 a layup.

00:38:36.060 It wasn't

00:38:36.800 hard to end

00:38:37.520 the entire

00:38:38.000 campaign.

00:38:38.640 You just

00:38:39.160 had to do

00:38:39.900 it.

00:38:40.460 He didn't

00:38:40.740 do it.

00:38:41.760 So he

00:38:42.300 missed several

00:38:42.800 layups.

00:38:43.180 And I

00:38:43.500 don't think

00:38:44.040 he even

00:38:45.240 attempted a

00:38:45.920 three-point

00:38:46.380 shot.

00:38:47.820 So he

00:38:48.420 didn't get

00:38:48.760 any kill

00:38:49.320 shots like

00:38:50.200 only Rosie

00:38:51.640 O'Donnell.

00:38:52.820 I mean,

00:38:53.340 the only

00:38:53.900 Rosie O'Donnell

00:38:54.780 remark was

00:38:55.860 for the

00:38:56.600 ages.

00:38:57.680 He didn't

00:38:57.980 have any

00:38:58.360 one of

00:38:58.620 those.

00:39:00.360 So nothing

00:39:01.020 special,

00:39:01.960 but also

00:39:02.640 nothing that's

00:39:03.400 a big mistake.

00:39:05.020 You know,

00:39:05.300 falling for

00:39:05.900 these little

00:39:06.380 baiting things.

00:39:08.540 He didn't

00:39:09.200 spend a lot

00:39:09.760 of time on

00:39:10.280 it, so it

00:39:10.620 wasn't the

00:39:10.980 biggest mistake

00:39:11.600 in the world.

00:39:12.840 But, yeah,

00:39:14.440 nothing special.

00:39:18.440 Let's see

00:39:19.020 what else.

00:39:20.320 I would say

00:39:21.160 that the

00:39:21.740 viewing public

00:39:22.580 is not

00:39:23.200 influenced by

00:39:24.320 how many

00:39:24.820 lies either

00:39:25.680 of them

00:39:25.960 told or

00:39:27.040 how many

00:39:27.380 hoaxes.

00:39:27.980 That's why

00:39:28.440 Kamala can

00:39:29.400 just throw

00:39:29.920 in the

00:39:30.160 hoaxes one

00:39:30.720 after another.

00:39:31.780 I don't

00:39:32.120 think anybody

00:39:32.560 cares that

00:39:33.140 anybody avoided

00:39:33.980 a question.

00:39:34.520 and here's

00:39:40.240 a take

00:39:40.660 that I

00:39:41.500 thought was

00:39:42.000 kind of

00:39:42.340 brilliant.

00:39:43.120 I saw a

00:39:43.480 few people

00:39:43.920 have this

00:39:44.340 opinion,

00:39:45.180 that it

00:39:46.360 might only

00:39:46.920 matter what

00:39:47.520 the

00:39:47.720 Pennsylvanians

00:39:48.460 thought about

00:39:48.980 it, and

00:39:50.880 Pennsylvania

00:39:51.280 cares about

00:39:52.040 fracking.

00:39:53.540 So if

00:39:54.420 Trump made

00:39:56.240 a dent in

00:39:57.880 the Pennsylvania

00:39:58.660 vote just

00:39:59.940 by the

00:40:00.360 fracking

00:40:00.740 conversation and

00:40:02.280 nothing else,

00:40:02.860 he won

00:40:05.020 the election.

00:40:07.140 She may

00:40:07.960 have won

00:40:08.380 the debate,

00:40:09.440 but if he

00:40:11.120 did only

00:40:11.680 that one

00:40:12.220 thing,

00:40:13.600 made

00:40:13.900 Pennsylvania

00:40:14.540 a little

00:40:15.620 bit,

00:40:16.320 just a

00:40:16.780 little bit

00:40:17.900 more pro-Trump,

00:40:19.920 that's the

00:40:21.560 whole game.

00:40:23.480 So we do

00:40:24.500 have this

00:40:24.920 weird situation

00:40:25.720 where I

00:40:28.380 think she

00:40:28.800 won the

00:40:29.180 debate.

00:40:30.580 He may

00:40:31.340 have won

00:40:31.620 the election.

00:40:32.860 which would

00:40:34.460 be fascinating.

00:40:35.980 And that

00:40:36.580 would be

00:40:37.100 compounded

00:40:38.080 on top of

00:40:38.820 her not

00:40:39.280 picking Shapiro

00:40:40.140 as her

00:40:40.620 vice president.

00:40:41.600 So you

00:40:41.940 can almost

00:40:42.380 see the

00:40:42.900 after story

00:40:43.780 forming.

00:40:45.100 If Trump

00:40:45.480 wins,

00:40:46.500 it's going

00:40:47.860 to be the

00:40:48.320 fracking,

00:40:49.140 and it's

00:40:49.380 going to be

00:40:50.260 not picking

00:40:51.600 Shapiro as

00:40:52.400 her VP.

00:40:53.940 So we'll

00:40:54.640 see.

00:40:54.920 the most

00:40:58.660 annoying

00:40:59.500 thing that

00:41:00.220 she did

00:41:00.800 is

00:41:02.260 possibly

00:41:03.300 my fault.

00:41:06.140 I have

00:41:06.940 to take

00:41:07.220 some

00:41:07.420 responsibility

00:41:08.060 for this.

00:41:09.300 I don't

00:41:09.640 know for

00:41:10.040 sure,

00:41:10.300 so I

00:41:11.160 might be

00:41:11.700 aggressively

00:41:12.400 connecting

00:41:12.980 dots that

00:41:13.560 shouldn't be

00:41:14.020 connected.

00:41:15.440 Have I

00:41:16.260 told you

00:41:16.640 the story

00:41:17.220 about helping

00:41:18.900 Al Gore

00:41:20.260 and Bill

00:41:20.800 Clinton

00:41:21.220 during their

00:41:22.080 campaign

00:41:22.560 against

00:41:22.940 Bob Dole,

00:41:24.420 in which

00:41:25.200 I did

00:41:25.600 give some

00:41:26.240 advice to

00:41:26.820 the campaign.

00:41:28.620 And my

00:41:28.880 advice was

00:41:29.440 that Bob

00:41:29.880 Dole kept

00:41:30.400 saying he

00:41:30.840 was going

00:41:31.120 to take

00:41:31.460 the country

00:41:32.200 back to

00:41:33.580 the greatest

00:41:34.420 generation,

00:41:35.500 you know,

00:41:36.040 better ethical,

00:41:37.500 moral,

00:41:38.920 patriotic,

00:41:39.660 spiritual

00:41:40.020 ways.

00:41:42.380 And I

00:41:43.080 said,

00:41:43.560 just say he's

00:41:44.320 taking you to

00:41:44.800 the past and

00:41:45.500 you're taking

00:41:45.960 them to the

00:41:46.420 future,

00:41:47.020 and that's

00:41:47.400 the end of

00:41:47.720 the race.

00:41:48.060 And so

00:41:50.140 they did.

00:41:51.420 And that was

00:41:51.800 the end of

00:41:52.120 the race.

00:41:53.020 If you

00:41:53.600 remember,

00:41:54.600 Clinton's

00:41:55.200 slogan turned

00:41:56.140 into,

00:41:57.180 we're a

00:41:57.720 bridge to

00:41:58.100 the future,

00:41:59.040 and he's a

00:41:59.640 bridge to

00:42:00.020 the past.

00:42:01.120 As soon as

00:42:01.960 you can

00:42:02.300 successfully

00:42:02.900 frame your

00:42:03.780 opponent as

00:42:05.120 taking you

00:42:05.620 to the

00:42:05.960 past,

00:42:06.960 nobody cares

00:42:07.860 how good

00:42:08.320 the past

00:42:08.820 was.

00:42:09.940 It's the

00:42:10.540 past.

00:42:11.500 There's just

00:42:12.140 nobody interested

00:42:12.920 in the past.

00:42:13.960 They're interested

00:42:14.740 in what are you

00:42:15.200 going to do

00:42:15.540 tomorrow,

00:42:16.400 but if you

00:42:17.540 can get

00:42:18.000 away with

00:42:18.460 that framing,

00:42:19.300 that is

00:42:19.840 really,

00:42:20.440 really powerful.

00:42:21.880 And so it

00:42:22.360 makes me wonder

00:42:23.080 if any of the

00:42:23.820 people advising

00:42:24.660 Harris remember

00:42:26.900 that from the

00:42:27.820 Clinton days.

00:42:31.200 Because if they

00:42:31.960 did, that was

00:42:32.420 my fault.

00:42:35.220 So I might

00:42:36.780 have had some

00:42:37.480 indirect role

00:42:39.640 in that.

00:42:40.200 They wouldn't

00:42:40.860 know it, by

00:42:41.440 the way.

00:42:42.260 They wouldn't

00:42:42.800 be aware that

00:42:43.700 I had any

00:42:44.480 role in it.

00:42:45.080 They might

00:42:45.400 have just

00:42:45.680 seen the

00:42:46.200 VP and the

00:42:47.180 President

00:42:47.580 Clinton say

00:42:48.720 it and

00:42:49.260 say,

00:42:49.520 hey, that

00:42:49.800 sounds good.

00:42:51.300 They would

00:42:51.880 not necessarily

00:42:52.600 know that

00:42:53.080 came from

00:42:53.460 me.

00:42:54.240 All right.

00:42:55.980 The Harris

00:42:56.660 campaign, very

00:42:57.580 cleverly, again,

00:42:59.280 freaking brilliant,

00:43:00.640 said right after

00:43:01.460 the campaign

00:43:02.080 that they won

00:43:04.160 it and they're

00:43:05.300 looking forward

00:43:06.100 to having

00:43:06.440 another debate.

00:43:08.400 Now, Trump

00:43:09.180 tried to frame

00:43:09.880 that as, well,

00:43:10.580 why would they

00:43:11.120 need another

00:43:11.640 debate if they

00:43:12.240 won this one?

00:43:12.880 But they're

00:43:15.340 framing it as,

00:43:16.340 we beat you

00:43:16.720 so badly,

00:43:17.400 we'd love to

00:43:17.860 do it again.

00:43:19.960 So I don't

00:43:21.620 know if they'll

00:43:22.200 do it again.

00:43:22.820 I don't think

00:43:23.260 it's a good

00:43:23.740 idea.

00:43:25.120 I think if

00:43:25.960 Trump took

00:43:26.860 a second

00:43:27.320 bite, the

00:43:28.400 odds of him

00:43:29.040 correcting his,

00:43:30.820 you know,

00:43:31.640 the holes that

00:43:32.480 he had in the

00:43:32.920 first one are

00:43:33.360 pretty high

00:43:33.880 because his

00:43:35.800 holes are really

00:43:36.580 obvious.

00:43:37.280 You know, he

00:43:37.500 just didn't go

00:43:38.460 well against the

00:43:39.120 hoaxes.

00:43:39.560 He could practice

00:43:40.160 that and nail it

00:43:40.800 next time.

00:43:41.220 I think that

00:43:42.500 the Harris

00:43:43.140 campaign will

00:43:44.520 just find a

00:43:45.140 reason to say

00:43:45.880 no.

00:43:47.180 So Trump

00:43:48.000 will say,

00:43:48.640 hey, let's

00:43:49.060 do it on

00:43:49.460 Fox News.

00:43:50.620 They'll say,

00:43:51.460 no, we

00:43:51.940 don't like

00:43:52.360 Fox News,

00:43:53.260 and then

00:43:53.460 that'll be

00:43:53.860 it.

00:43:54.420 But they'll

00:43:55.000 be able to

00:43:55.460 say they

00:43:55.800 wanted a

00:43:56.300 debate and

00:43:58.240 then still

00:43:58.620 not have

00:43:59.100 one.

00:43:59.620 So they

00:44:00.200 win twice.

00:44:01.180 Once by

00:44:01.800 saying they

00:44:02.220 want it,

00:44:03.020 and another

00:44:03.640 time by

00:44:04.040 not having

00:44:04.500 it.

00:44:07.440 Every time

00:44:08.220 I see

00:44:08.740 Harris'

00:44:10.080 campaign

00:44:11.080 work,

00:44:12.680 it's

00:44:13.080 always

00:44:13.640 good.

00:44:16.800 I hate

00:44:17.600 to say

00:44:18.040 it.

00:44:18.360 I really,

00:44:19.040 really hate

00:44:19.480 it.

00:44:20.460 But they're

00:44:21.100 very smart.

00:44:22.720 And they,

00:44:23.240 you know,

00:44:23.880 consistently.

00:44:24.880 If it were

00:44:25.500 one thing,

00:44:26.160 I'd be like,

00:44:26.620 well,

00:44:26.800 it got

00:44:27.040 lucky.

00:44:28.040 You know,

00:44:28.440 blind squirrel

00:44:29.080 finds a nut.

00:44:29.860 But it's

00:44:30.520 kind of

00:44:31.060 every day

00:44:31.540 now.

00:44:32.420 And when

00:44:33.400 you look

00:44:33.720 at the fact

00:44:34.180 that they

00:44:34.560 hid her

00:44:35.140 from the

00:44:35.580 public for

00:44:36.140 so long,

00:44:36.980 and then

00:44:37.740 when she

00:44:38.060 finally comes

00:44:38.740 out,

00:44:39.240 and everybody

00:44:39.700 is expecting

00:44:40.320 the worst,

00:44:41.720 she does

00:44:42.380 her best

00:44:42.740 performance,

00:44:44.580 that borders

00:44:45.900 on genius

00:44:46.920 campaign work.

00:44:49.600 Maybe it's

00:44:50.140 just genius.

00:44:51.160 It's brilliant.

00:44:53.320 It's evil.

00:44:54.580 It's unethical.

00:44:55.660 It's immoral.

00:44:57.100 But it's

00:44:57.980 brilliant.

00:44:59.720 All right.

00:45:00.000 I think

00:45:06.560 this happens

00:45:07.120 every debate.

00:45:08.240 Every debate,

00:45:09.220 there's a rumor

00:45:09.840 that the

00:45:10.760 Democrat was

00:45:11.500 wearing an

00:45:11.920 earpiece.

00:45:14.440 So there's

00:45:14.900 some allegations

00:45:16.700 that Harris's

00:45:18.320 earrings were

00:45:20.740 a special

00:45:21.420 kind of

00:45:21.800 earring that

00:45:22.440 does exist,

00:45:23.220 apparently,

00:45:23.860 that doubles

00:45:24.660 as a,

00:45:25.520 like an

00:45:26.560 earplug,

00:45:27.280 not an

00:45:27.760 earplug,

00:45:29.440 what do

00:45:30.280 you call it,

00:45:30.540 a headphone,

00:45:31.700 except it

00:45:33.160 sits outside

00:45:33.720 your ear,

00:45:34.840 but my

00:45:35.540 understanding

00:45:36.020 is,

00:45:36.500 although it's

00:45:36.900 outside the

00:45:37.560 ear,

00:45:38.060 like an

00:45:38.840 earring,

00:45:39.860 that it's

00:45:40.080 got a

00:45:40.320 little speaker

00:45:40.900 thing that's

00:45:41.500 pointing toward

00:45:42.100 your ear,

00:45:43.060 so only you

00:45:44.140 can hear it.

00:45:45.360 Now,

00:45:45.980 there's a

00:45:46.540 picture of

00:45:47.620 that device

00:45:48.380 that has

00:45:49.820 that quality

00:45:50.440 that it's

00:45:51.000 like a

00:45:51.860 headphone thing.

00:45:53.180 Yeah,

00:45:53.380 and I'm

00:45:53.640 seeing,

00:45:54.100 oh,

00:45:54.380 here it goes.

00:46:09.360 Scotiabank,

00:46:10.120 you're richer

00:46:10.580 than you think.

00:46:13.060 And here's

00:46:13.940 a picture,

00:46:14.820 here's a

00:46:16.160 picture of

00:46:16.700 it.

00:46:18.120 You see

00:46:18.840 that?

00:46:19.700 So that,

00:46:20.620 that's a

00:46:21.000 picture that

00:46:21.660 is exactly

00:46:22.500 the,

00:46:23.840 that earbud

00:46:26.240 headphone thing.

00:46:28.120 So if

00:46:28.760 this is a

00:46:29.260 real picture,

00:46:30.220 she was

00:46:31.480 definitely

00:46:31.820 wearing an

00:46:32.440 earbud.

00:46:33.640 Is it a

00:46:34.300 real picture?

00:46:35.400 No,

00:46:35.900 of course

00:46:36.160 not.

00:46:37.040 No,

00:46:37.380 that's not

00:46:37.720 a real

00:46:37.960 picture.

00:46:38.980 If you

00:46:39.580 see the

00:46:39.920 real picture,

00:46:40.660 she's not

00:46:41.560 wearing those.

00:46:42.480 That's a

00:46:42.880 photoshopped

00:46:43.460 picture.

00:46:45.160 Very

00:46:45.640 photoshopped.

00:46:47.180 Now,

00:46:47.720 I was lucky

00:46:48.300 enough that

00:46:49.060 I saw the

00:46:49.620 real one

00:46:50.160 like half

00:46:51.560 a minute

00:46:51.880 before I

00:46:52.400 saw the

00:46:52.720 photoshopped

00:46:53.320 one.

00:46:54.360 So,

00:46:54.980 you know,

00:46:55.160 you can see

00:46:55.580 what happened.

00:46:56.540 Yeah,

00:46:56.740 it was a

00:46:57.100 photoshopped.

00:46:58.080 I guarantee

00:46:58.580 it,

00:46:59.080 it was a

00:46:59.500 photoshopped.

00:47:01.320 All right.

00:47:03.620 But there's

00:47:04.680 always that

00:47:05.140 hoax.

00:47:05.720 Every time

00:47:06.120 there's one

00:47:06.500 of these

00:47:06.800 debates,

00:47:07.420 there's always

00:47:07.800 the,

00:47:08.600 somebody was

00:47:09.280 giving her

00:47:09.640 the answer

00:47:10.040 is hoax.

00:47:11.980 Let's talk

00:47:12.640 about the

00:47:13.300 fake fact

00:47:14.140 checking by

00:47:14.840 the host,

00:47:15.660 David Muir.

00:47:18.240 So,

00:47:19.180 he challenged

00:47:19.840 Trump,

00:47:21.680 he said,

00:47:22.840 you said

00:47:23.300 you lost

00:47:23.800 by a

00:47:24.180 whisker,

00:47:24.820 but all

00:47:25.780 the other

00:47:26.060 times you

00:47:26.500 said you

00:47:26.900 had been

00:47:27.220 cheated.

00:47:28.020 So,

00:47:28.340 did you

00:47:28.680 change your

00:47:29.580 opinion and

00:47:30.440 believe that

00:47:30.920 you did

00:47:31.500 really lose?

00:47:33.720 And Trump

00:47:34.100 said that,

00:47:34.800 you know,

00:47:35.980 he was being

00:47:36.400 sarcastic when

00:47:37.540 he said he

00:47:37.940 lost by a

00:47:38.540 whisker.

00:47:39.780 Now,

00:47:40.280 that's what

00:47:40.620 I thought.

00:47:42.400 I said it

00:47:43.540 actually in

00:47:44.060 advance.

00:47:44.740 I said that

00:47:45.480 when he said

00:47:45.920 I lost by

00:47:46.520 a whisker,

00:47:47.880 that he was

00:47:48.640 sort of,

00:47:49.160 you know,

00:47:49.520 joking,

00:47:50.020 and the

00:47:50.980 implication was

00:47:51.840 that they

00:47:52.160 cheated.

00:47:53.320 So,

00:47:53.880 he said I

00:47:54.260 lost by a

00:47:54.840 whisker,

00:47:55.180 just sort of

00:47:55.600 being jokingly

00:47:57.440 sarcastic about

00:47:58.380 it.

00:47:59.120 Now,

00:47:59.460 that's exactly

00:48:00.060 how I

00:48:00.520 interpreted it.

00:48:01.720 But,

00:48:02.100 I'm also

00:48:02.560 aware that

00:48:03.140 if you're

00:48:04.580 coming from

00:48:05.100 a different

00:48:05.460 perspective,

00:48:05.980 you wouldn't

00:48:06.520 necessarily

00:48:07.040 interpret it

00:48:07.720 that way.

00:48:08.860 So,

00:48:09.080 David Muir

00:48:09.560 decides to

00:48:10.200 fact check

00:48:10.660 him by

00:48:10.980 saying,

00:48:12.000 you know,

00:48:12.160 we checked

00:48:12.480 all the

00:48:12.780 video and

00:48:13.500 it didn't

00:48:14.180 sound sarcastic

00:48:15.080 to me.

00:48:17.080 To which I

00:48:17.900 said,

00:48:18.400 wait a

00:48:18.780 minute,

00:48:18.980 one person's

00:48:20.520 opinion of

00:48:21.180 what somebody

00:48:21.640 is thinking

00:48:22.140 is not a

00:48:22.660 fact check.

00:48:24.800 What kind

00:48:25.420 of fact check

00:48:26.000 is that?

00:48:27.060 My opinion

00:48:27.920 of what you

00:48:28.460 were thinking

00:48:29.020 when the

00:48:30.160 person just

00:48:30.660 told you

00:48:31.040 what they

00:48:31.300 were thinking?

00:48:32.760 No,

00:48:32.980 you don't

00:48:33.240 fact check

00:48:33.760 somebody's

00:48:34.320 internal

00:48:35.020 thoughts

00:48:35.820 in a

00:48:36.840 debate for

00:48:37.440 president.

00:48:39.680 You're

00:48:40.160 going to

00:48:40.280 let the

00:48:40.620 fine people

00:48:41.320 hoax just

00:48:42.400 go by,

00:48:43.300 but you're

00:48:44.200 going to

00:48:44.340 fact check

00:48:44.880 him on

00:48:45.320 what you

00:48:45.780 believe he

00:48:46.360 was secretly

00:48:46.920 thinking.

00:48:47.440 Oh my

00:48:49.780 God.

00:48:52.020 That's just

00:48:52.700 so on

00:48:54.380 the nose

00:48:55.020 corrupt.

00:48:56.960 It's

00:48:57.360 incredible.

00:49:01.980 Let me

00:49:02.540 give you a

00:49:02.900 little,

00:49:03.540 I don't

00:49:04.520 know why I

00:49:04.880 need to

00:49:05.200 tell you

00:49:05.480 this,

00:49:05.840 but somehow

00:49:06.680 it seems

00:49:07.040 relevant.

00:49:07.700 I once

00:49:08.220 spent the

00:49:09.540 whole day

00:49:09.920 with David

00:49:10.420 Muir.

00:49:12.160 So a number

00:49:12.580 of years

00:49:12.880 ago,

00:49:13.340 he was

00:49:13.780 still with

00:49:14.540 ABC,

00:49:14.820 and he

00:49:16.100 came out

00:49:16.800 to where

00:49:17.700 I lived

00:49:18.120 and hung

00:49:19.560 out with

00:49:19.860 me all

00:49:20.160 day to

00:49:21.220 do a

00:49:21.520 story on

00:49:21.940 my voice

00:49:22.600 because I

00:49:23.480 had that

00:49:23.760 voice problem

00:49:24.540 for a

00:49:25.280 while.

00:49:26.340 And ABC

00:49:27.200 did a nice

00:49:27.780 special on

00:49:29.480 this condition

00:49:30.480 and helped

00:49:31.100 me promote

00:49:32.400 that there's a

00:49:33.200 cure for it

00:49:33.800 now.

00:49:34.660 So ABC

00:49:37.600 News and

00:49:38.460 David Muir

00:49:39.060 specifically

00:49:39.920 did a

00:49:41.680 very useful

00:49:43.520 valuable thing

00:49:45.420 for a

00:49:46.020 number of

00:49:46.400 people because

00:49:47.680 to the

00:49:48.100 extent that

00:49:48.940 people found

00:49:49.460 out there

00:49:49.800 was a

00:49:50.080 cure for

00:49:50.560 it,

00:49:51.600 they probably

00:49:52.160 went out

00:49:52.500 and got

00:49:52.780 it,

00:49:53.300 some of

00:49:53.660 them anyway.

00:49:54.560 So he's,

00:49:55.300 you know,

00:49:56.220 if I can

00:49:57.060 judge him

00:49:57.480 from that

00:49:57.860 one experience,

00:49:59.680 very nice

00:50:00.340 guy,

00:50:01.500 enjoyed talking

00:50:02.520 to him

00:50:02.880 totally,

00:50:04.100 and he

00:50:05.440 did a

00:50:05.720 valuable thing

00:50:06.340 for people

00:50:07.880 and it

00:50:08.380 really mattered.

00:50:08.920 I mean,

00:50:09.420 it really,

00:50:09.860 really mattered

00:50:10.320 if they got

00:50:11.020 fixed.

00:50:12.100 So there's

00:50:12.840 that.

00:50:13.760 Now there's

00:50:14.120 one other

00:50:14.520 interesting thing

00:50:15.300 that happened

00:50:15.780 that day.

00:50:16.760 So I was

00:50:17.500 married to

00:50:17.820 my first

00:50:18.480 wife then

00:50:19.660 and we

00:50:21.920 went to

00:50:22.300 dinner to

00:50:23.660 continue the

00:50:24.440 conversation and

00:50:26.160 as we're

00:50:26.580 driving to

00:50:27.060 dinner,

00:50:27.440 my ex-wife,

00:50:29.160 first ex-wife,

00:50:30.320 was telling a

00:50:30.960 story about

00:50:31.620 somebody she

00:50:32.420 knows and

00:50:33.680 it was a

00:50:34.180 longish story

00:50:35.160 about somebody

00:50:37.200 he doesn't

00:50:37.660 know and

00:50:38.180 just somebody

00:50:38.860 that the

00:50:39.280 two of

00:50:39.540 us know.

00:50:40.580 We get to

00:50:41.340 this restaurant

00:50:41.900 and we get

00:50:43.040 seated and

00:50:45.060 we're sitting

00:50:45.460 right next to

00:50:46.040 the guy we've

00:50:46.480 been talking

00:50:46.960 about in

00:50:47.500 the car for

00:50:48.300 the last

00:50:48.680 hour in

00:50:50.460 the restaurant

00:50:50.980 and we go,

00:50:53.340 you know,

00:50:53.620 David,

00:50:53.980 do you know

00:50:54.180 that guy we

00:50:54.700 were just

00:50:54.960 talking about

00:50:55.500 for an

00:50:55.800 hour?

00:50:56.980 That's him

00:50:57.480 right there.

00:50:58.500 And he was

00:50:59.060 like,

00:50:59.400 what?

00:51:00.220 Yeah,

00:51:00.480 you know the

00:51:00.840 guy we just

00:51:01.400 talked about

00:51:01.820 for an hour?

00:51:03.140 We just sat

00:51:03.880 down next to

00:51:04.360 him.

00:51:04.480 He's right

00:51:04.720 there.

00:51:05.940 We go,

00:51:06.240 hey,

00:51:06.420 how you doing?

00:51:06.840 That really

00:51:08.880 happened.

00:51:10.200 To this day,

00:51:11.200 I can't.

00:51:12.080 It's one of the

00:51:12.840 freakiest things

00:51:13.480 that's ever

00:51:14.120 happened to

00:51:14.520 me.

00:51:14.680 So when I

00:51:15.000 see David

00:51:15.440 Muir,

00:51:15.780 I think about

00:51:17.060 that weird

00:51:17.500 simulation

00:51:18.040 experience.

00:51:20.400 Anyway,

00:51:20.840 that's enough

00:51:21.340 about me.

00:51:22.380 Let's talk

00:51:22.960 about,

00:51:23.680 I know I'm

00:51:24.840 going to get

00:51:25.180 hammered for

00:51:25.780 this,

00:51:26.140 but I'm

00:51:26.400 going to do

00:51:26.700 it anyway

00:51:27.100 because I

00:51:27.760 just have

00:51:28.420 this need.

00:51:29.920 so there's

00:51:31.700 a question

00:51:32.120 about babies

00:51:33.160 being born

00:51:34.080 alive and

00:51:35.360 then Trump's

00:51:36.560 claim that

00:51:38.000 the doctor

00:51:39.640 can basically

00:51:40.460 kill them

00:51:41.120 or let

00:51:41.540 them die

00:51:42.100 after they're

00:51:43.340 born alive.

00:51:45.140 Now,

00:51:45.760 the Democrats

00:51:47.540 and also

00:51:49.500 David Muir,

00:51:50.180 I believe,

00:51:51.160 fact-checked

00:51:51.700 that and

00:51:52.100 said,

00:51:52.600 no,

00:51:53.900 that doesn't

00:51:54.340 happen.

00:51:54.780 There's no

00:51:55.640 example.

00:51:56.820 It just

00:51:57.140 doesn't happen.

00:51:58.200 That's just

00:51:58.660 not true.

00:52:00.680 So,

00:52:01.400 I have a

00:52:03.300 take on

00:52:03.740 what's true

00:52:04.320 and it's

00:52:06.820 real interesting

00:52:07.420 because it's

00:52:08.640 almost like

00:52:09.100 both sides

00:52:09.660 are using

00:52:10.020 the same

00:52:10.460 language,

00:52:11.540 but they're

00:52:12.940 somehow

00:52:13.240 ignoring part

00:52:14.360 of it or

00:52:14.820 something.

00:52:16.020 Here's what

00:52:16.660 I believe

00:52:17.060 to be true.

00:52:19.220 That if

00:52:20.340 there's an

00:52:20.780 abortion and

00:52:21.680 it would

00:52:21.940 normally,

00:52:22.720 if the baby

00:52:23.480 is old enough

00:52:24.180 to have some

00:52:24.880 viability,

00:52:26.180 there's probably

00:52:26.800 some medical

00:52:27.320 reason for

00:52:28.360 the mother.

00:52:28.800 Not necessarily,

00:52:29.340 but there

00:52:29.840 might be.

00:52:31.660 But that

00:52:32.280 when the

00:52:32.760 baby is

00:52:33.280 born,

00:52:33.900 the examples

00:52:34.660 given of

00:52:35.840 where they

00:52:36.160 were in

00:52:36.560 fact alive

00:52:37.200 after they

00:52:37.700 were aborted,

00:52:38.540 they were

00:52:39.240 not viable,

00:52:40.640 meaning that

00:52:41.760 they might

00:52:42.160 only have a

00:52:42.680 few hours

00:52:43.160 to have a

00:52:43.860 heartbeat

00:52:44.180 and there's

00:52:45.280 nothing you

00:52:45.720 can do.

00:52:47.120 Now,

00:52:47.820 is that how

00:52:49.020 you understand

00:52:49.660 it?

00:52:50.360 Or do you

00:52:50.820 understand that

00:52:51.620 some of

00:52:52.240 those babies

00:52:52.860 could have a

00:52:54.540 long,

00:52:55.000 healthy life

00:52:55.640 if they just

00:52:56.340 put their

00:52:57.840 effort into it?

00:52:59.340 my understanding

00:53:01.760 is that

00:53:02.920 although in

00:53:03.920 the medical

00:53:04.440 community

00:53:05.060 people can

00:53:06.780 be wrong,

00:53:08.260 you know,

00:53:08.500 you probably

00:53:09.120 are aware

00:53:09.540 that one

00:53:09.920 of the

00:53:10.240 biggest causes

00:53:11.900 of death

00:53:12.500 are medical

00:53:13.740 mistakes.

00:53:14.800 You all

00:53:15.420 know that?

00:53:16.620 Did you

00:53:16.940 know that

00:53:17.280 just in

00:53:17.800 general,

00:53:18.520 forget about

00:53:19.080 abortion,

00:53:20.080 in general,

00:53:21.140 one of the

00:53:21.660 biggest ways

00:53:22.240 that people

00:53:22.720 die is that

00:53:23.800 the hospital

00:53:24.700 the doctor

00:53:25.260 made a

00:53:25.600 mistake?

00:53:26.680 Very,

00:53:27.280 very common.

00:53:28.440 Now,

00:53:28.820 if you

00:53:29.500 assume that

00:53:30.100 medical help

00:53:31.220 is still

00:53:31.660 better than

00:53:32.140 no medical

00:53:32.660 help,

00:53:34.180 then,

00:53:34.920 although you

00:53:35.380 can hate

00:53:35.740 the fact

00:53:36.160 that medicine

00:53:36.800 kills a lot

00:53:37.440 of people,

00:53:38.660 you can still

00:53:39.680 say,

00:53:40.440 okay,

00:53:41.200 we're still

00:53:41.580 in favor

00:53:41.960 of health

00:53:42.940 care.

00:53:43.160 if it's

00:53:45.560 the same

00:53:46.020 in this

00:53:46.640 abortion

00:53:47.040 situation,

00:53:48.280 that there

00:53:48.980 might actually

00:53:49.660 be a case

00:53:50.340 where a baby

00:53:51.220 was born

00:53:51.740 alive and

00:53:52.360 they let

00:53:52.760 it die

00:53:53.240 that could

00:53:54.640 have been

00:53:54.900 saved and

00:53:55.420 could have

00:53:55.680 had a full

00:53:56.500 life of

00:53:56.960 some kind,

00:53:58.360 then that

00:53:58.760 might actually

00:53:59.380 be true.

00:54:00.480 But it

00:54:01.000 wouldn't be

00:54:01.440 unusual if

00:54:02.800 you look at

00:54:03.240 the larger

00:54:03.700 field of

00:54:04.520 medicine.

00:54:05.620 They make

00:54:06.220 mistakes because

00:54:07.120 they're humans.

00:54:09.040 But it's

00:54:11.140 hard for me

00:54:11.680 to imagine

00:54:12.260 a situation

00:54:13.040 and by the

00:54:14.000 way,

00:54:14.320 if you're

00:54:14.720 thinking I'm

00:54:15.380 going to be

00:54:15.800 pro or

00:54:16.540 anti-abortion,

00:54:17.460 I'm not.

00:54:18.020 I still think

00:54:18.640 women need to

00:54:19.240 figure it out.

00:54:19.840 Just tell me

00:54:20.700 what you

00:54:21.000 decided.

00:54:21.940 I'm just

00:54:22.500 describing it

00:54:23.380 so you can

00:54:24.060 understand it

00:54:24.680 better,

00:54:25.080 I hope.

00:54:26.780 What I think

00:54:27.620 happens is

00:54:28.680 that you

00:54:29.040 probably have

00:54:29.520 at least

00:54:29.940 one medical

00:54:30.560 professional,

00:54:31.440 at least

00:54:31.760 the doctor,

00:54:33.100 probably

00:54:33.860 nurses and

00:54:35.260 some other

00:54:35.680 people involved

00:54:36.540 if it's a

00:54:37.940 normal procedure,

00:54:39.300 and you may

00:54:40.500 have at least

00:54:41.160 the mother

00:54:41.960 being involved

00:54:43.500 in the

00:54:43.880 decision.

00:54:45.000 Now,

00:54:45.520 you've got

00:54:45.860 the hardest

00:54:46.400 decision in

00:54:47.620 the freaking

00:54:48.400 world that

00:54:50.980 you aborted,

00:54:51.820 but there's

00:54:52.240 something there

00:54:52.740 with a

00:54:53.000 heartbeat.

00:54:54.600 Whose job

00:54:55.560 is it to

00:54:56.520 figure out

00:54:56.940 what to do

00:54:57.480 now?

00:54:58.780 It's yours.

00:55:00.900 You,

00:55:01.460 the mother,

00:55:02.300 you,

00:55:02.640 the doctor,

00:55:03.240 and maybe a

00:55:04.040 few other

00:55:04.400 people involved.

00:55:05.740 It's the

00:55:06.440 hardest decision

00:55:07.420 in the

00:55:07.820 world.

00:55:09.340 Do you

00:55:10.040 try your

00:55:12.700 best and

00:55:13.280 maybe all

00:55:13.700 you've done

00:55:14.160 is taking

00:55:14.700 something that

00:55:15.320 didn't need

00:55:15.700 to suffer

00:55:16.160 and giving

00:55:17.340 it a week

00:55:17.980 more of

00:55:18.380 suffering?

00:55:19.620 Just pure

00:55:20.520 suffering.

00:55:21.960 Or do you

00:55:23.360 say, let me

00:55:24.060 give it some

00:55:24.780 whatever this

00:55:26.540 is, whatever

00:55:27.160 you want to

00:55:27.580 call it, you

00:55:28.840 could call it

00:55:29.320 a baby or

00:55:29.840 not, but I'm

00:55:31.140 going to give

00:55:31.480 it some

00:55:31.900 painkillers,

00:55:33.060 but since I

00:55:34.400 don't think it

00:55:35.060 can survive under

00:55:36.060 any condition,

00:55:37.440 I'm going to

00:55:37.760 make sure the

00:55:38.240 painkillers are

00:55:39.080 lethal.

00:55:40.860 Nobody would

00:55:41.600 check.

00:55:42.620 And by the

00:55:43.060 way, is that

00:55:44.260 unethical?

00:55:45.380 It's the way

00:55:46.160 we handle

00:55:46.680 seniors.

00:55:48.240 When a person

00:55:49.380 is 100 years

00:55:50.200 old and near

00:55:50.840 death and

00:55:51.400 can't make

00:55:51.780 their own

00:55:52.080 decisions anyway,

00:55:53.920 the doctor

00:55:55.180 and the family

00:55:56.400 member who's

00:55:56.960 closest, they

00:55:58.580 decide, do we

00:56:00.440 give you a

00:56:01.200 basically lethal

00:56:02.200 dose of

00:56:03.020 painkiller and

00:56:05.080 hurry things

00:56:05.760 up, because

00:56:06.320 there's nothing

00:56:06.900 that can be

00:56:08.000 gained.

00:56:08.780 There's no

00:56:09.420 upside.

00:56:10.840 Now, could

00:56:12.080 they ever be

00:56:12.660 wrong?

00:56:14.300 Yes.

00:56:15.700 They could be

00:56:16.520 wrong, and

00:56:17.400 they could end

00:56:17.860 up basically

00:56:18.460 killing somebody

00:56:19.260 who could have

00:56:19.700 had a whole

00:56:20.060 life, just

00:56:21.440 like every

00:56:22.060 other part of

00:56:22.580 medicine.

00:56:23.540 They can be

00:56:24.340 wrong.

00:56:25.400 But here's my

00:56:26.400 take.

00:56:27.800 If the mother

00:56:29.880 and the doctor,

00:56:31.300 in their best

00:56:32.080 judgment, make

00:56:34.200 a decision at

00:56:35.060 that moment, I

00:56:36.440 don't want

00:56:36.880 anybody else in

00:56:37.640 the world

00:56:38.000 involved, because

00:56:40.780 it's the hardest

00:56:41.500 decision in the

00:56:42.400 world, and

00:56:42.960 they're the

00:56:43.280 closest to it.

00:56:44.760 Even if they

00:56:45.580 get it wrong, I

00:56:47.620 still back them.

00:56:49.300 It's the hardest

00:56:50.340 decision in the

00:56:51.200 world.

00:56:51.540 We should just

00:56:52.160 stay the fuck

00:56:52.800 out of that,

00:56:53.800 because they're

00:56:55.240 not going to be

00:56:55.740 happy about it.

00:56:57.280 Just imagine

00:56:58.320 your mental

00:56:58.920 state if you

00:57:00.800 had to be in

00:57:01.580 that unusual

00:57:02.160 situation where

00:57:03.120 there's a

00:57:03.420 heartbeat after

00:57:04.020 the abortion.

00:57:05.540 If you're the

00:57:06.300 doctor, how do

00:57:08.440 you deal with

00:57:08.860 that?

00:57:10.660 I mean, that's

00:57:11.320 got to be the

00:57:11.700 most disturbing

00:57:12.400 thing you can

00:57:13.060 even imagine.

00:57:14.980 So I say

00:57:16.140 under those

00:57:16.640 situations, it's

00:57:17.560 life and death,

00:57:18.420 literally.

00:57:20.000 And if the

00:57:21.500 mother and the

00:57:22.780 doctor, in their

00:57:23.660 best judgment,

00:57:25.460 have decided that

00:57:26.460 really easing the

00:57:28.480 pain of whatever

00:57:29.240 this creature is,

00:57:30.340 is their best

00:57:31.640 play, I think

00:57:33.120 second-guessing

00:57:34.100 them is

00:57:36.640 immoral.

00:57:39.960 It just feels

00:57:40.900 immoral, because

00:57:42.880 of how difficult

00:57:43.580 that decision is.

00:57:44.960 And we don't, I'm

00:57:45.940 going to assume

00:57:46.440 that people make

00:57:47.120 mistakes.

00:57:48.320 It's still immoral

00:57:49.080 to second-guess

00:57:49.920 them, I think.

00:57:51.920 Now, this is not

00:57:53.600 an opinion on

00:57:54.500 abortion, because

00:57:56.820 it's just such a

00:57:59.520 special case, it's

00:58:00.380 not really about

00:58:00.980 abortion in general.

00:58:02.680 So I think the

00:58:04.300 truth is that

00:58:05.240 neither side is

00:58:07.200 describing it

00:58:08.040 exactly accurately.

00:58:09.660 And if they did,

00:58:10.420 they wouldn't have

00:58:10.900 a difference.

00:58:12.620 If they explained

00:58:14.000 it accurately, I

00:58:14.960 think they'd be on

00:58:15.540 the same side,

00:58:16.260 basically.

00:58:18.160 That's my take.

00:58:20.260 And so here's

00:58:21.260 the easier way to

00:58:22.100 understand that.

00:58:23.060 I believe that

00:58:23.660 when these

00:58:24.520 babies are

00:58:26.820 aborted, yet

00:58:27.800 they have a

00:58:28.300 little bit of a

00:58:28.820 heartbeat or

00:58:29.360 life left in

00:58:30.100 them, that the

00:58:31.420 doctor probably

00:58:32.140 sees it as

00:58:32.680 hospice.

00:58:34.000 And the way

00:58:34.460 you would treat

00:58:34.860 hospice is not

00:58:36.580 the way you

00:58:36.960 treat somebody

00:58:37.480 else.

00:58:42.660 Look at the

00:58:43.460 video.

00:58:44.820 Somebody is

00:58:45.420 saying that the

00:58:46.080 photograph of

00:58:47.160 her wearing

00:58:47.680 normal earrings is

00:58:49.640 not equal to

00:58:50.560 the video.

00:58:52.420 Okay, I'm not

00:58:53.360 buying this.

00:58:54.420 There's nothing

00:58:55.040 you can do to

00:58:55.800 convince me she

00:58:56.480 was wearing an

00:58:57.040 earpiece.

00:58:57.460 There's nothing.

00:59:00.760 So you just

00:59:01.460 give up on that

00:59:02.120 one.

00:59:03.880 All right.

00:59:06.300 Then there was

00:59:07.000 a question about

00:59:07.880 how Trump went

00:59:08.960 about eating the

00:59:09.860 animals, the

00:59:10.660 Haitians or the

00:59:11.760 immigrants eating

00:59:12.320 the animals.

00:59:13.700 And of course,

00:59:14.300 they got fact

00:59:14.840 checked in the

00:59:16.920 way that the

00:59:17.380 fake news fact

00:59:18.180 checks things.

00:59:19.040 How does the

00:59:19.500 fake news fact

00:59:20.480 check something

00:59:21.680 that's true but

00:59:22.440 they want to say

00:59:22.960 it's not true?

00:59:24.200 They use the

00:59:24.900 same technique.

00:59:26.380 They say we

00:59:27.220 asked somebody and

00:59:27.980 they said they

00:59:28.520 didn't have any

00:59:29.080 information about

00:59:29.820 it.

00:59:32.100 So David

00:59:32.880 Muir fact

00:59:34.080 checks him by

00:59:34.700 saying, you

00:59:35.100 know, we

00:59:35.280 talked to the

00:59:35.740 town and the

00:59:36.380 town says they

00:59:37.060 don't have any

00:59:37.480 information about

00:59:38.120 people eating

00:59:38.620 animals.

00:59:40.920 Well, did you

00:59:42.560 talk to any of

00:59:43.280 the townspeople?

00:59:46.320 Because apparently

00:59:47.100 there are quite a

00:59:47.740 few reports.

00:59:48.580 It doesn't mean

00:59:49.000 it's true.

00:59:49.860 I don't know if

00:59:50.400 it's true.

00:59:50.780 But there are

00:59:52.180 reports.

00:59:55.120 So, and then

00:59:56.860 Harris did the

00:59:57.580 whole, oh, oh,

00:59:59.060 you think, oh,

01:00:00.360 you're being so

01:00:01.080 ridiculous now.

01:00:02.040 You're saying

01:00:02.460 they're eating

01:00:02.940 animals?

01:00:03.860 Oh.

01:00:04.880 And she pulled

01:00:05.960 it off.

01:00:07.300 Unfortunately, she

01:00:08.120 won that round.

01:00:12.100 So anyway, I

01:00:15.120 think everybody's

01:00:15.720 going to blame

01:00:16.160 ABC for being

01:00:17.080 biased.

01:00:17.540 They clearly

01:00:18.400 were.

01:00:18.840 I don't

01:00:20.540 think that's

01:00:21.040 why Trump

01:00:21.700 did not

01:00:23.340 win, because

01:00:27.640 I don't think

01:00:28.080 he won.

01:00:30.340 I think Trump

01:00:31.440 needed to do a

01:00:32.360 better job of

01:00:33.040 dealing with the

01:00:33.540 hoaxes.

01:00:35.100 And that's the

01:00:35.520 whole, to me,

01:00:36.700 that's the whole

01:00:37.120 story.

01:00:38.340 He wasn't

01:00:39.300 prepared for the

01:00:40.460 specific, most

01:00:41.340 obvious attack.

01:00:42.760 And if you don't

01:00:43.660 prepare for the

01:00:44.360 specific, most

01:00:45.440 obvious attack,

01:00:46.900 what are you

01:00:48.180 doing?

01:00:49.540 So I hate to

01:00:52.160 say it, but one

01:00:53.480 of them did

01:00:53.880 their homework

01:00:54.360 better, was

01:00:54.940 prepared better,

01:00:55.740 and it was

01:00:56.140 Harris.

01:00:57.440 Now, it's

01:00:59.420 not going to

01:00:59.700 make me vote

01:01:00.240 for her, because

01:01:01.960 she's shown one

01:01:03.800 look.

01:01:04.640 It does,

01:01:05.620 however, make

01:01:07.280 me feel better

01:01:07.920 about one

01:01:08.420 thing.

01:01:10.220 Then in

01:01:10.860 2018, when I

01:01:14.000 was predicting

01:01:14.640 that Harris would

01:01:15.420 be the biggest

01:01:15.940 problem for

01:01:16.660 Trump, it

01:01:17.980 was because I'd

01:01:18.700 seen her act

01:01:19.340 this way, you

01:01:20.760 know, when she

01:01:21.120 was doing some

01:01:21.940 Senate hearings

01:01:23.120 thing, she was

01:01:24.340 like this, which

01:01:25.980 also suggests,

01:01:27.480 perhaps, yeah, I'm

01:01:29.080 seeing a video of

01:01:29.800 her not wearing

01:01:30.640 earrings that are

01:01:31.360 that kind.

01:01:35.980 Anyway, so a

01:01:39.980 couple of closing

01:01:41.120 things.

01:01:41.760 the Venezuelan

01:01:43.840 gang, that

01:01:44.840 Trenda

01:01:45.560 Aragua

01:01:46.120 gang, they

01:01:47.820 took over a

01:01:48.440 hotel in El

01:01:49.020 Paso, turned

01:01:50.060 it into a

01:01:51.000 violent drug

01:01:51.640 den, according

01:01:52.180 to the gateway

01:01:52.740 pundit.

01:01:55.100 So, took

01:01:56.320 over a hotel.

01:01:57.300 I don't know

01:01:57.760 how many of the

01:01:58.320 other stories

01:01:59.000 about Venezuelan

01:02:00.540 gangs taking over

01:02:01.500 buildings are

01:02:02.140 true, but it

01:02:04.680 certainly has my

01:02:05.320 attention.

01:02:06.600 Some of them

01:02:07.080 might be

01:02:07.380 exaggerations, I

01:02:08.260 don't know.

01:02:08.500 Anyway, if you

01:02:11.040 didn't catch it

01:02:11.740 on the All

01:02:12.680 In Pod event,

01:02:14.740 apparently Elon

01:02:15.960 Musk said that

01:02:16.780 America would do

01:02:19.200 great if they

01:02:20.260 can just get rid

01:02:21.380 of all the

01:02:21.780 regulations so we

01:02:22.840 can operate.

01:02:24.440 And he says,

01:02:25.600 quote, I think

01:02:26.680 the reality is

01:02:27.660 that if we get

01:02:28.160 rid of nonsense

01:02:28.840 regulations and

01:02:29.960 shift people from

01:02:30.880 the government to

01:02:31.700 the private sector,

01:02:32.740 we will have

01:02:33.520 immense prosperity.

01:02:34.920 And then he

01:02:35.320 said, I think

01:02:36.880 we will have a

01:02:37.460 golden age in

01:02:38.260 this country,

01:02:39.240 and it will

01:02:39.580 be fantastic.

01:02:41.560 So, maybe

01:02:43.060 the golden age

01:02:43.820 is still on,

01:02:45.160 but it's going

01:02:46.080 to require a

01:02:48.020 Trump.

01:02:49.160 Now, I saw

01:02:50.080 the Kennedy and

01:02:52.060 Shanahan weighing

01:02:52.820 in on the

01:02:53.340 debate.

01:02:54.440 I don't think

01:02:55.400 either of them

01:02:56.000 should be happy

01:02:56.660 about that debate

01:02:57.600 because I don't

01:02:58.300 think he brought

01:02:58.820 up the chronic

01:02:59.440 illness thing,

01:03:00.300 for example.

01:03:02.760 So, I think

01:03:03.460 they were a

01:03:03.880 little underserved

01:03:04.740 by that debate.

01:03:05.620 And Just

01:03:10.680 the News is

01:03:11.380 reporting that

01:03:12.160 a bipartisan

01:03:12.980 group of

01:03:13.560 attorney generals

01:03:14.340 is urging that

01:03:16.600 social media have

01:03:17.860 a warning label

01:03:18.700 on it, a health

01:03:19.880 warning label on

01:03:20.780 social media.

01:03:21.960 Now, it's a

01:03:22.440 bipartisan group.

01:03:24.040 What do you

01:03:24.600 think of that?

01:03:27.400 I think it's

01:03:28.240 pretty good.

01:03:29.280 I think there

01:03:29.760 should be warning

01:03:30.340 labels on social

01:03:31.360 media.

01:03:31.640 media, but I

01:03:34.180 think we should

01:03:34.660 take it further.

01:03:36.460 I think there

01:03:36.920 should be warning

01:03:37.520 labels on the

01:03:38.540 nightly news on

01:03:39.620 the networks.

01:03:41.420 And it should

01:03:41.800 say, this news

01:03:44.020 is not intended

01:03:44.940 to be reality.

01:03:46.480 Sometimes it's

01:03:47.140 fiction.

01:03:47.880 If you were to

01:03:48.660 believe it as

01:03:49.440 reality, it could

01:03:50.460 cause a mental

01:03:51.540 illness, such as

01:03:53.320 you might think

01:03:53.840 the world is going

01:03:54.460 to burn up from

01:03:55.120 global warming.

01:03:55.800 So, it's

01:03:57.900 unhealthy to

01:03:58.640 watch these

01:03:59.140 programs unless

01:04:00.280 you understand

01:04:01.040 that it's

01:04:01.400 fiction.

01:04:03.020 Now, is that

01:04:03.900 going too far?

01:04:05.120 No, it's not.

01:04:06.720 I mean, it's

01:04:07.280 not going to

01:04:07.640 happen, but

01:04:09.100 that would be

01:04:10.760 completely honest

01:04:11.840 and appropriate

01:04:12.400 to say that

01:04:14.400 it's not

01:04:14.860 necessarily true

01:04:15.580 what you see

01:04:16.080 on the news.

01:04:16.800 Because if

01:04:17.380 you're a kid,

01:04:18.800 how old were

01:04:19.740 you when you

01:04:20.240 realized the

01:04:20.760 news wasn't

01:04:21.300 true?

01:04:23.200 Probably not

01:04:24.080 very young.

01:04:25.760 Right?

01:04:26.460 I'll bet in

01:04:27.140 your 20s, you

01:04:29.140 thought the news

01:04:29.800 was real.

01:04:31.560 Maybe for most

01:04:33.160 of your 30s.

01:04:35.040 Somewhere around

01:04:36.340 the 40s, you

01:04:38.640 start noticing

01:04:39.360 patterns and

01:04:40.840 you think, wait

01:04:41.760 a minute, I'm

01:04:43.280 not so sure this

01:04:44.160 news is even

01:04:44.880 real.

01:04:46.720 And then if

01:04:47.560 you're me, you

01:04:49.120 know, when you

01:04:49.580 get older, you're

01:04:50.200 more likely to

01:04:50.900 have been a

01:04:51.600 subject of a

01:04:52.620 news report.

01:04:53.560 If you've ever

01:04:54.320 seen yourself in

01:04:55.180 a news report

01:04:55.840 or you're an

01:04:56.320 expert on that

01:04:57.020 category, then

01:04:58.140 you know it's

01:04:58.580 really fake.

01:04:59.920 And that's when

01:05:00.700 you're like, oh,

01:05:01.860 what if the rest

01:05:02.720 of it is fake

01:05:03.440 too?

01:05:04.260 And then you

01:05:04.640 find out it is,

01:05:05.600 at least the

01:05:06.060 political stuff.

01:05:07.280 Pretty much all

01:05:07.860 fake.

01:05:10.360 So let's put

01:05:11.080 those warning

01:05:11.580 labels on there,

01:05:12.480 people.

01:05:13.540 Warning labels.

01:05:15.100 All right, that's

01:05:15.700 all I've got for

01:05:16.840 today.

01:05:18.500 My announcement

01:05:19.480 for tomorrow is

01:05:20.760 I don't expect to

01:05:21.660 have a show

01:05:22.080 tomorrow.

01:05:23.020 I just have

01:05:23.660 some personal

01:05:24.220 business to

01:05:24.820 take care of

01:05:25.320 that I couldn't

01:05:25.840 schedule any

01:05:27.060 other way.

01:05:28.240 So you will

01:05:30.600 miss me tomorrow

01:05:31.600 live anyway,

01:05:32.960 probably.

01:05:33.660 If I come on,

01:05:34.420 it'll be for

01:05:34.860 five minutes or

01:05:35.560 something, just

01:05:36.300 to say hi.

01:05:37.500 But don't

01:05:38.880 worry, it's

01:05:39.280 nothing important,

01:05:40.700 nothing of

01:05:41.300 consequence.

01:05:42.020 I just have

01:05:42.480 something scheduled.

01:05:43.940 I'll tell you

01:05:44.500 about it later.

01:05:47.120 And that's all

01:05:48.200 for today.

01:05:48.680 I'm going to

01:05:49.500 talk to the

01:05:50.000 locals people

01:05:50.700 privately, but

01:05:51.940 thanks for

01:05:52.340 joining on XN

01:05:53.320 Rumble and

01:05:54.120 YouTube.

01:05:54.960 I'll see you

01:05:55.560 all tomorrow.

01:05:57.660 No, not

01:05:57.980 tomorrow.

01:05:58.720 Soon.

01:05:59.280 I'll see you

01:05:59.680 soon.
