Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 821 Scott Adams： Democrats Realizing ＂Maybe the Problem is us,＂ Coronavirus Mysteries

00:00:00.000 Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, hey everybody, come on in here, let's have a little thing I call coffee with Scott Adams in the simultaneous sip, and all it takes is a thousand people to rush in here, and the next thing you know, well, this sipping is going to be happening.

00:00:24.580 And all you need, all you need, it's all you need, is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid, I like coffee, and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better, the simultaneous sip, go.

00:00:54.580 Mmm, spicy. Good stuff.

00:00:59.960 Well, it seems to me that the news has sort of shrunk down to the boring category recently, but it still left us some good stuff.

00:01:09.700 That's right, fun stuff. I don't really care about news that isn't fun. People dying, that sort of thing.

00:01:16.660 But we do have some fun stories. For example, three Democratic candidates were asked in recent interviews if they could name the president of Mexico.

00:01:31.840 Two out of three said, nope.

00:01:35.020 Nope. So, Klobuchar and Steyer both said, nope, who is it?

00:01:44.500 And then Pete Buttigieg had the answer, but as soon as he said the answer, he asked if he was right.

00:01:52.580 Now, if you say the answer, and then you immediately ask if you're correct, I think that's zero for three.

00:02:02.320 You know, a good guess. I'm not sure how much credit we should give that.

00:02:07.640 But here's what's funny about it.

00:02:09.960 Did any of you know the president of Mexico? Anybody?

00:02:15.060 How many of you could have mentioned, you know, named the president of Mexico?

00:02:19.900 Mexico. I couldn't have gotten close.

00:02:23.560 No idea. In fact, it was, I felt like it was the first time I'd ever heard it when they gave the answer to the, you know, to the Democrats.

00:02:32.820 But of course, I have heard it. It's just forgettable.

00:02:35.720 And I'm thinking to myself, all right, is this telling us anything about the candidates?

00:02:42.740 Probably not, really.

00:02:44.460 You know, we love to do these little gotcha questions.

00:02:46.840 Do you remember, was it Bush Senior, who was asked about the cost of a loaf of bread or something like that, and he didn't know.

00:02:56.860 And people said, oh, you don't know what the price of some bread is.

00:03:01.020 I forget who it was who was asked.

00:03:02.980 And I thought to myself, do I really care if my president knows the cost of a price of bread or the price of bread?

00:03:15.560 I don't care. I don't care at all.

00:03:18.000 But I'll take it one level further.

00:03:21.580 And remember, if I were saying this about Trump, you would all jump on me and you'd say, you'd all say, you're saying this because you'll support Trump no matter what he does.

00:03:34.020 But I'm only talking about the Democrats.

00:03:36.680 Do I care that they can't name the president of Mexico?

00:03:40.560 Nope. I don't even care a little bit.

00:03:46.020 I don't care that one got it and two missed it.

00:03:48.320 Absolutely means nothing.

00:03:50.900 Do you know what I think about that?

00:03:54.120 If we don't know the president of Mexico, I think that's his fault.

00:04:00.580 Are you with me?

00:04:02.180 Do you know why we know the name of President Trump?

00:04:05.860 Because President Trump made us know his name.

00:04:08.880 Do you know why I know Pete Buttigieg's name?

00:04:12.740 Because Pete Buttigieg made me know his name.

00:04:16.840 Do you know why I don't know the president of Mexico?

00:04:21.640 Well, he's not doing much if I don't even know his name.

00:04:26.860 I can name the prime minister of Canada.

00:04:31.060 I think it's still Blackface Trudeau, right?

00:04:33.160 But if the president of Mexico is not known to three of the top candidates for president of the United States,

00:04:42.020 I'm not sure that's entirely their fault.

00:04:45.640 Sounds a little like the president of Mexico needs to, you know, maybe step it up a little bit.

00:04:51.340 Make yourself visible, will you?

00:04:53.380 Trudeau can do it.

00:04:54.320 Why can't you?

00:04:54.880 All right, so that's one of those campaign stories that we like to think means something.

00:05:02.020 It doesn't mean anything.

00:05:03.320 Absolutely nothing.

00:05:05.660 Here's my question for you.

00:05:09.140 Almost every day, I see some skeptical type person talking about the coronavirus,

00:05:14.980 and they like to do this.

00:05:17.980 Scott, Scott, Scott.

00:05:20.780 A regular flu, an ordinary flu, has already killed more people this year.

00:05:28.720 Scott, Scott, Scott.

00:05:29.980 Let's put this in context.

00:05:32.220 An ordinary flu also spreads and also kills a lot of people.

00:05:36.800 So don't get yourself all worked up about this coronavirus,

00:05:42.780 because let's compare it to ordinary viruses, which are even worse,

00:05:47.340 and we don't get too worked up about those, right?

00:05:51.920 Okay.

00:05:53.380 Let me ask you this.

00:05:55.560 If the coronavirus is just like those other viruses,

00:06:00.520 why is nobody treating it that way?

00:06:03.580 Why is China not treating it like an ordinary virus?

00:06:11.440 Why is the United States not treating it like an ordinary virus?

00:06:18.180 Now, I've said before that if we had an ordinary virus

00:06:22.620 that we could isolate it to one country of origin,

00:06:25.860 well, maybe we would treat it the same way,

00:06:27.980 because we'd say, well, if that ordinary virus gets out,

00:06:30.540 it's going to kill thousands of Americans.

00:06:32.920 It always does.

00:06:34.500 So if we could isolate any other virus, we probably would have.

00:06:39.400 But for whatever reason, we don't.

00:06:42.060 So this one had a known source,

00:06:44.640 so maybe it made more sense just to try and get control of this one.

00:06:49.100 But I don't see ordinary things happening.

00:06:53.160 Am I right?

00:06:54.820 For all the people who keep comparing it to the ordinary flu,

00:06:58.820 you're still going to have to explain why the people who know the most about it

00:07:03.000 are not treating it like an ordinary flu?

00:07:05.880 Is it just a mistake on their part?

00:07:09.420 Are they simply responding to public pressure?

00:07:13.080 It doesn't feel that way.

00:07:15.600 It feels like the people who really know what they're doing think this is worse.

00:07:20.900 And I'm judging based not on reading their minds,

00:07:24.060 but rather on the fact that they're acting in a way that's not typical of something

00:07:28.360 that's a normal virus, normal flu.

00:07:31.280 So I'd say we need to worry about that.

00:07:35.100 And everything about this virus is an unknown at this point.

00:07:38.460 I feel like everything we think we know about it doesn't count.

00:07:42.420 All right.

00:07:44.060 Somebody's saying it's because of a lack of shot.

00:07:50.760 So there's no vaccination for this coronavirus.

00:07:54.560 I don't think that's the reason we're treating it differently,

00:07:57.300 because those shots are not terribly,

00:08:00.140 they're not as effective as we want them to be,

00:08:03.340 and not everybody gets them.

00:08:05.900 So it's not that big a difference.

00:08:07.360 All right.

00:08:07.540 Let's talk about, here's the biggest story, in my opinion,

00:08:11.800 which I've not seen anybody say the way I'm going to say it.

00:08:16.560 So I think it's one of the biggest stories that's happening,

00:08:19.420 but until somebody batches it up so you can see it as a trend,

00:08:23.840 you don't notice it.

00:08:25.000 So that's what I'm going to do for you.

00:08:27.800 I would say that there are four Democrats who I would describe as anti-Trump

00:08:34.800 who are sort of like the canary in the coal mine.

00:08:39.260 Now, the canary in the coal mine, if you're not familiar with that,

00:08:42.640 in the old days, coal miners would take a canary in a cage in the coal mine,

00:08:47.680 and if the canary died,

00:08:49.640 then the coal miners would get out of the tunnel as quickly as possible,

00:08:55.060 because it meant that the air was going bad,

00:08:57.860 because the canary would die first

00:08:59.780 before a human would even notice the difference.

00:09:02.340 So it was an early warning sign.

00:09:04.800 And the canaries in the coal mine, here are my picks.

00:09:08.480 These are the left-leaning, anti-Trump sort of people

00:09:14.120 who would be the first ones to say,

00:09:17.400 uh-oh, I think we're doing this wrong.

00:09:20.740 One is Smirkanish on CNN.

00:09:24.720 The other is Bill Maher.

00:09:27.240 And then I would say Fareed Zakario and Van Jones.

00:09:31.020 So those are my four Democrat canaries in the coal mine.

00:09:36.320 And here's what's special about their thinking

00:09:41.620 and the statements that they're making recently.

00:09:44.420 Do you remember when Trump was first running?

00:09:46.880 Of course you do.

00:09:48.260 Do you remember what people were saying about why he won

00:09:51.180 or even why he got nominated?

00:09:53.760 Do you remember the main reason that people gave?

00:09:56.380 The primary reason that people gave for why he did so well

00:10:01.580 is that Republicans are racist.

00:10:06.000 You remember that, right?

00:10:07.180 That was the whole explanation.

00:10:09.740 Well, everything he's doing is random and crazy and stupid.

00:10:14.640 He might be insane, but at the very least,

00:10:17.520 he's just a reality TV star.

00:10:19.240 So none of the stuff that Trump is doing

00:10:21.740 could possibly explain why his results are so good

00:10:26.800 because the stuff he's doing is random and stupid.

00:10:29.820 So let's look for a reason.

00:10:31.500 Ah, we found it.

00:10:33.220 He's a racist.

00:10:34.740 He's sending magic secret racist dog whistles

00:10:38.280 that only other racists can hear.

00:10:41.720 Coincidentally, they're all Democrats,

00:10:43.740 but they don't seem to notice that.

00:10:45.140 But they're sure that the Republicans,

00:10:47.820 who are also totally racist, are hearing it.

00:10:50.600 And that must be the secret explanation

00:10:54.460 for why he's doing better

00:10:56.560 than all the smart people who are Democrats

00:10:59.160 could have possibly imagined.

00:11:01.640 Yes, they took some, they took some,

00:11:04.060 I guess they took some responsibility,

00:11:06.960 the Democrats did,

00:11:08.460 for not seeing how racist the Republicans really were.

00:11:12.960 It was much worse than they imagined.

00:11:15.140 So they took some responsibility

00:11:16.340 for not knowing completely how bad

00:11:18.920 the Republicans were

00:11:19.820 that they would vote in this guy.

00:11:21.400 That was 2015 and 2016.

00:11:25.200 It was a little bit 2017.

00:11:27.340 Well, actually a lot 2017.

00:11:29.000 It was very much 2018.

00:11:31.860 It wasn't as much 2019.

00:11:38.140 And it's starting to disappear in 2020.

00:11:42.120 And do you know what replaced it?

00:11:46.200 According to, and here,

00:11:48.820 I don't want to put too much words

00:11:51.240 into other people's mouths,

00:11:53.040 but I'll make a claim

00:11:54.100 that there's a pattern emerging.

00:11:56.420 There seems to be a departure from

00:11:58.820 the only reason he won

00:12:00.320 is because Republicans are giant racists.

00:12:03.080 And the new position seems to be,

00:12:05.580 wait for it.

00:12:07.020 Are you ready?

00:12:09.280 The new position seems to be

00:12:12.420 that he's very skilled.

00:12:19.200 Did you see that coming?

00:12:20.940 I'm not sure I could have predicted that.

00:12:23.220 But I was just watching last week's,

00:12:25.480 not the one that just taped,

00:12:27.140 but the week before,

00:12:28.660 Bill Maher.

00:12:29.300 And he was trying to convince

00:12:31.500 the Democrats who were on the show,

00:12:34.500 Gillum and Ezra Klein,

00:12:37.700 that they'd missed the story, basically.

00:12:42.280 And the story is,

00:12:44.100 oh my God,

00:12:45.740 the stuff Trump does

00:12:47.140 has a reason and it works.

00:12:50.480 It's good technique.

00:12:51.820 And I don't think they were forced

00:12:53.720 into seeing that what Trump does

00:12:56.420 works and it's good technique.

00:12:58.440 I don't think they were forced

00:13:00.200 into that position

00:13:01.080 until they could really imagine

00:13:04.200 which of these Democratic candidates

00:13:06.280 would be on the stage next to Trump.

00:13:09.620 You're sort of forced at this point

00:13:11.600 to put a specific person there

00:13:14.380 and then you imagine Trump

00:13:16.200 standing next to that specific person.

00:13:18.860 And a lot of the conversation,

00:13:20.040 of course, is about Bloomberg.

00:13:21.520 So he's the one you put in there

00:13:23.000 in your imagination,

00:13:24.060 sometimes Bernie.

00:13:25.280 And you say to yourself,

00:13:26.260 of Houston,

00:13:30.240 we've got a problem

00:13:31.400 because Bloomberg is just going to disappear

00:13:37.160 next to Trump.

00:13:40.120 And you can see people,

00:13:41.560 you can see the gears starting to work.

00:13:43.820 And again,

00:13:44.560 it's with the smarter,

00:13:47.460 more flexible-minded Democrats

00:13:49.720 who are starting to realize,

00:13:52.820 and I'll put this in my own words,

00:13:54.920 they're starting to realize,

00:13:56.720 what if the problem is us?

00:14:01.440 You did not see that in 2016.

00:14:04.320 You didn't see it in 2017.

00:14:06.440 You didn't see much of it in 2018.

00:14:08.780 I don't even think you saw it in 2019.

00:14:10.720 But in 2020,

00:14:13.420 some of the,

00:14:14.400 just,

00:14:15.060 I would say,

00:14:15.740 just most mentally gifted members

00:14:19.300 of the Democrat Party

00:14:20.620 are starting to say out loud

00:14:22.760 some version of,

00:14:24.680 you know,

00:14:25.640 let's not rule out the possibility

00:14:28.140 that the problem is us.

00:14:31.480 Maybe that's why we're now going to win.

00:14:34.040 Maybe that's why we didn't win last time

00:14:35.800 because we weren't listening to the people

00:14:37.460 and we weren't giving a kind of campaign

00:14:40.040 that can work.

00:14:41.720 Now it seems that the Democrats

00:14:43.280 have,

00:14:43.820 they've come to understand

00:14:46.120 that voters are not rational.

00:14:49.420 And they're starting to say that out loud.

00:14:51.680 Ezra Klein was saying that,

00:14:53.720 et cetera.

00:14:55.040 And then Fareed Zakaria,

00:14:57.060 very much a anti-Trumper,

00:14:59.940 was saying,

00:15:01.300 also on Mars show,

00:15:03.180 was saying

00:15:03.680 that Bernie and the socialist

00:15:06.420 parts of the candidates

00:15:08.500 were looking to give,

00:15:10.960 to open the borders

00:15:12.080 and also offer free health care.

00:15:16.240 Now normally that's something

00:15:17.780 that you only hear from Republicans, right?

00:15:20.280 I can't think of even one

00:15:22.320 anti-Trumper

00:15:23.760 I've ever heard say,

00:15:25.980 you know,

00:15:26.880 if they offer these two things,

00:15:30.560 open borders

00:15:31.440 and free health care

00:15:33.360 to immigrants,

00:15:34.340 who's going to vote for that?

00:15:36.620 That's actually what Fareed said.

00:15:38.840 He said,

00:15:39.300 who's going to vote

00:15:40.000 for open borders

00:15:40.980 and free health care

00:15:42.280 for the people coming in

00:15:43.280 who are not in this country?

00:15:45.280 And he's right.

00:15:46.960 Who in the world

00:15:47.940 is going to vote for that?

00:15:49.620 Now, of course,

00:15:50.280 some people will vote for it

00:15:51.480 because it's their team,

00:15:52.620 but it's not a winning formula,

00:15:54.000 which I think is his point.

00:15:56.060 So if you look at the things

00:15:57.400 that you've seen

00:15:58.700 coming from,

00:15:59.720 you know,

00:16:00.120 Van Jones,

00:16:01.480 Fareed Zakaria,

00:16:02.160 Bill Maher,

00:16:03.380 Smirkanish,

00:16:04.560 they all seemed,

00:16:05.720 and I was just watching

00:16:06.820 Smirkanish's show

00:16:08.280 this morning.

00:16:10.000 And by the way,

00:16:10.720 Smirkanish on CNN

00:16:12.700 is consistently

00:16:14.540 the guy

00:16:15.480 who's willing

00:16:16.020 to look at both sides.

00:16:17.940 So he's been doing

00:16:18.640 that all along,

00:16:19.560 but you can see now

00:16:20.420 that there's

00:16:22.360 a dawning realization.

00:16:23.580 So on Smirkanish

00:16:24.280 this morning,

00:16:24.800 he had a debate expert on,

00:16:28.000 and he asked

00:16:28.780 the debate expert,

00:16:29.760 who was a real expert,

00:16:30.540 I think he was like

00:16:31.200 one of the best debate

00:16:32.380 coaches in the country

00:16:34.400 or something,

00:16:34.820 he won an award.

00:16:35.740 So he really knew

00:16:36.420 what he was talking about.

00:16:37.380 So they asked him to watch

00:16:38.380 for the first time,

00:16:39.900 as it turns out.

00:16:40.580 He'd never seen a debate

00:16:41.620 by Bloomberg,

00:16:42.660 neither have I.

00:16:44.400 And he commented on it.

00:16:46.620 And how do you think

00:16:47.620 the debate expert

00:16:48.840 thought the matchup

00:16:51.220 would be

00:16:51.740 between Bloomberg

00:16:53.060 and Trump?

00:16:55.040 And the answer is,

00:16:56.880 Bloomberg disappears.

00:16:58.460 He just disappears.

00:16:59.660 And he's a little

00:17:02.560 too factual,

00:17:03.300 a little too dry,

00:17:04.100 doesn't vary his voice.

00:17:05.520 You know,

00:17:05.700 the debate coach

00:17:06.340 had specific reasons.

00:17:08.320 But basically,

00:17:09.920 the old thinking

00:17:11.620 that the way

00:17:12.260 Trump got there

00:17:12.960 was either because

00:17:13.700 of racism,

00:17:14.280 or the other big theory,

00:17:16.020 I'll call it

00:17:16.400 the Sam Harris theory,

00:17:18.380 is the Chauncey Gardner theory,

00:17:20.760 that it was literally

00:17:21.620 just luck,

00:17:23.380 that Trump brought

00:17:24.580 no skill to bear.

00:17:26.500 He just was in the

00:17:27.620 right place

00:17:28.060 at the right time,

00:17:28.840 and he was a crazy

00:17:29.660 old clown,

00:17:30.440 and all the variables

00:17:32.800 in the world lined up.

00:17:34.020 How can it never

00:17:34.680 happen again?

00:17:35.920 You know,

00:17:36.100 it's pure luck

00:17:36.940 that, you know,

00:17:37.960 Clinton didn't,

00:17:39.380 you know,

00:17:39.640 she didn't campaign

00:17:41.280 where she should have,

00:17:42.340 blah, blah, blah.

00:17:43.400 Does the luck hypothesis

00:17:45.440 stand up anymore?

00:17:48.260 Well,

00:17:48.740 it never stood up

00:17:49.560 for me,

00:17:50.260 of course,

00:17:50.960 than most of you,

00:17:51.680 I would imagine.

00:17:52.180 But now you can see,

00:17:53.840 again,

00:17:54.280 the smartest people

00:17:55.160 who are anti-Trumpers

00:17:56.840 seem to be firmly

00:17:59.860 on the side

00:18:00.680 that whatever Trump

00:18:02.320 has been doing

00:18:03.220 and continues to do

00:18:04.540 is good technique.

00:18:07.640 They have finally

00:18:08.840 understood

00:18:09.560 what I wrote

00:18:11.300 in Winn-Bigley,

00:18:12.680 you know,

00:18:13.280 a year and a half ago,

00:18:14.580 that this is technique.

00:18:16.780 It's not luck.

00:18:18.100 It's technique,

00:18:18.720 and they're also

00:18:19.640 looking to borrow it

00:18:20.820 because they recognize

00:18:22.520 it's good technique.

00:18:24.440 All right.

00:18:26.580 And watching Bill Maher

00:18:28.160 be frustrated

00:18:29.820 at his own team

00:18:31.120 for not being able

00:18:32.180 to understand

00:18:32.840 what's going on here

00:18:33.860 is really good entertainment.

00:18:36.420 I got to tell you,

00:18:37.420 if you're not watching

00:18:38.580 real time

00:18:39.980 with Bill Maher,

00:18:42.020 you should really watch it

00:18:43.580 between now

00:18:44.060 and the election,

00:18:44.720 at least,

00:18:45.500 because he has

00:18:47.260 finally figured out

00:18:48.440 just what kind

00:18:49.860 of trouble

00:18:50.300 they're in

00:18:50.820 and why.

00:18:52.780 And he's,

00:18:53.700 I think Maher

00:18:54.780 is actually

00:18:55.380 pretty much

00:18:56.600 on the right,

00:18:57.240 on the right trail.

00:18:59.320 And watching him

00:19:00.380 try to convince

00:19:01.500 his teammates

00:19:03.340 who are still

00:19:04.060 in their little

00:19:04.720 TDS bubble

00:19:05.460 is really good entertainment.

00:19:06.800 It's fun to watch.

00:19:08.000 All right.

00:19:10.160 I watched

00:19:11.140 Gillum,

00:19:13.180 who lost

00:19:14.280 in his campaign

00:19:15.020 to be governor

00:19:15.860 of Florida.

00:19:17.380 That's why

00:19:17.780 you've heard

00:19:18.100 the name

00:19:18.420 before.

00:19:21.040 He was responding

00:19:22.180 to Bill Maher

00:19:22.860 who was saying

00:19:23.800 that Trump

00:19:24.400 was,

00:19:25.040 essentially,

00:19:25.800 he was saying

00:19:26.080 that Trump

00:19:26.440 was smart

00:19:27.160 because at the

00:19:28.620 State of the Union,

00:19:30.580 Maher said

00:19:31.640 it was obvious

00:19:32.680 that Trump

00:19:33.920 was crafting

00:19:34.740 the entire

00:19:35.260 State of the Union

00:19:36.100 to improve

00:19:37.960 the votes

00:19:38.480 he was getting

00:19:38.980 from the

00:19:39.400 African-American

00:19:40.080 community.

00:19:41.180 And here's

00:19:41.500 the funny thing.

00:19:43.720 Bill Maher

00:19:44.220 did not mock

00:19:45.220 that.

00:19:46.420 He did not

00:19:47.380 mock the fact

00:19:48.280 that Trump's

00:19:49.400 approach

00:19:51.100 was just

00:19:51.920 completely

00:19:52.900 over the top

00:19:53.820 and obviously

00:19:54.680 a bid to get

00:19:55.500 the African-American

00:19:56.320 vote.

00:19:57.620 Why did he not

00:19:58.640 mock it?

00:20:00.920 Because it was

00:20:01.680 a good try.

00:20:03.620 It was a good

00:20:04.180 technique.

00:20:05.660 Now,

00:20:06.100 in his mind

00:20:07.160 it was a little

00:20:07.680 too obvious,

00:20:08.940 I guess.

00:20:09.220 But that's

00:20:10.300 such a minor

00:20:10.940 criticism.

00:20:12.140 If you were

00:20:12.880 African-American

00:20:13.600 and you were

00:20:14.120 watching the

00:20:15.500 speech,

00:20:16.080 you saw a

00:20:16.820 whole bunch

00:20:17.220 of people

00:20:17.580 who looked

00:20:17.920 like you

00:20:18.520 who were

00:20:19.260 the stars

00:20:19.840 of the show.

00:20:21.500 And I

00:20:22.260 would think

00:20:22.640 that would

00:20:22.940 have an

00:20:23.240 effect on

00:20:24.020 how you

00:20:24.360 thought about

00:20:24.800 the whole

00:20:25.140 situation.

00:20:26.680 So,

00:20:27.160 they're really

00:20:28.140 watching Trump

00:20:28.940 knock it out

00:20:29.520 of the park.

00:20:30.240 They're watching

00:20:30.700 him make

00:20:32.060 probably the

00:20:33.180 most credible

00:20:34.000 play for the

00:20:35.660 black vote

00:20:36.300 that any

00:20:36.780 Republican's

00:20:37.460 ever made.

00:20:37.960 because he's

00:20:39.060 got some

00:20:39.420 real

00:20:39.640 accomplishments

00:20:40.200 and he's

00:20:42.540 asking for

00:20:43.280 their vote.

00:20:44.220 I mean,

00:20:44.720 essentially,

00:20:45.760 by putting

00:20:46.940 so much

00:20:47.320 focus on

00:20:47.920 that one

00:20:48.720 area.

00:20:49.620 But here's

00:20:49.960 the thing

00:20:50.260 that Gillum

00:20:50.760 said about

00:20:52.180 that.

00:20:53.160 So,

00:20:53.420 he dismissed

00:20:54.280 Trump's

00:20:55.640 attempt to

00:20:56.680 put more

00:20:57.240 of a focus

00:20:57.780 on the

00:20:58.320 black voters

00:20:59.820 and he said

00:21:01.320 it was like

00:21:02.400 saying that

00:21:02.840 you have a

00:21:03.240 black friend.

00:21:06.340 And,

00:21:06.600 somebody's

00:21:09.400 asking me,

00:21:09.860 do I need

00:21:10.180 to blow

00:21:10.500 my nose?

00:21:11.100 If you're

00:21:11.460 new here,

00:21:12.160 I've got a

00:21:12.520 little medical

00:21:13.040 problem with

00:21:13.720 my sinuses

00:21:14.440 that won't

00:21:15.900 be helped

00:21:16.280 by blowing

00:21:16.780 my nose

00:21:17.220 exactly.

00:21:18.500 But I'm

00:21:19.080 going to

00:21:19.180 have some

00:21:19.460 surgery and

00:21:20.080 clear that

00:21:20.540 up in the

00:21:21.400 coming weeks.

00:21:22.260 Anyway,

00:21:23.220 what Gillum

00:21:23.680 said is it's

00:21:24.300 like having

00:21:24.740 a black

00:21:25.860 friend and

00:21:26.380 he was being

00:21:26.780 dismissive of

00:21:27.720 the president

00:21:28.300 making an

00:21:29.380 obvious attempt

00:21:30.140 to appeal

00:21:31.680 to black

00:21:32.300 voters.

00:21:32.620 And I

00:21:33.740 thought to

00:21:34.020 myself,

00:21:34.820 that is

00:21:35.800 just

00:21:36.100 strategically

00:21:37.040 the dumbest

00:21:37.780 thing that

00:21:38.280 the black

00:21:38.660 community has

00:21:39.340 ever done.

00:21:40.020 Let me say

00:21:40.700 it as clearly

00:21:41.180 as possible.

00:21:42.680 The black

00:21:43.180 community,

00:21:44.140 here's the

00:21:44.620 dumbest thing

00:21:45.480 that you have

00:21:46.800 collectively ever

00:21:47.880 done.

00:21:48.460 It goes like

00:21:49.060 this.

00:21:50.020 It's this

00:21:50.680 one black

00:21:52.060 friend thing.

00:21:52.880 I've said

00:21:53.220 this before,

00:21:53.880 but it just

00:21:54.400 makes me so

00:21:54.960 angry to

00:21:56.120 see bad

00:21:57.360 strategy.

00:21:58.360 When I see

00:21:58.800 people shooting

00:21:59.500 themselves in

00:22:00.220 the foot,

00:22:01.020 I just want

00:22:01.600 to grab

00:22:02.600 the gun

00:22:02.980 away.

00:22:03.340 It's like,

00:22:03.580 stop shooting

00:22:04.140 yourself in

00:22:04.640 the foot.

00:22:05.660 Please.

00:22:07.560 You've got

00:22:08.100 enough problems.

00:22:09.560 It goes

00:22:09.980 like this.

00:22:11.800 You should

00:22:12.380 never penalize

00:22:13.460 people for

00:22:14.060 moving in

00:22:14.540 the right

00:22:14.800 direction.

00:22:16.680 I'll give

00:22:17.120 you a story

00:22:18.360 to make

00:22:18.860 the point.

00:22:19.660 Now,

00:22:19.920 analogies,

00:22:20.660 of course,

00:22:21.120 are not

00:22:21.480 persuasive,

00:22:22.420 but they

00:22:22.940 are good

00:22:23.240 for explaining

00:22:23.920 a point.

00:22:25.240 I'm going

00:22:25.520 to use this

00:22:25.980 analogy to

00:22:26.600 explain a

00:22:27.140 point.

00:22:28.280 Years ago,

00:22:29.040 many years

00:22:29.460 ago,

00:22:29.840 in a past

00:22:30.400 relationship,

00:22:31.600 when I

00:22:32.140 was much

00:22:32.460 younger,

00:22:33.560 my romantic

00:22:36.220 other would

00:22:38.160 say to me,

00:22:38.760 you know,

00:22:38.960 it would be

00:22:39.260 great.

00:22:39.920 She liked

00:22:40.560 receiving

00:22:41.220 flowers.

00:22:42.340 She mentioned

00:22:43.120 that it would

00:22:43.620 be even

00:22:44.100 more meaningful

00:22:45.320 if it were

00:22:46.780 not a

00:22:47.160 holiday.

00:22:48.440 I thought,

00:22:48.780 well,

00:22:48.860 that sounds

00:22:49.200 pretty reasonable.

00:22:50.440 You like

00:22:50.920 getting flowers

00:22:51.620 and you like

00:22:53.320 it when it's

00:22:53.820 not some

00:22:54.700 required

00:22:55.260 Valentine's

00:22:56.100 Day or

00:22:56.520 holiday

00:22:57.020 because then

00:22:57.460 it just

00:22:57.800 looks like

00:22:58.240 you don't

00:22:59.340 really care.

00:22:59.860 you're just

00:23:00.280 doing what

00:23:00.660 you're supposed

00:23:00.960 to do

00:23:01.220 because it's

00:23:01.560 a holiday.

00:23:02.540 So I thought,

00:23:03.320 well,

00:23:03.420 that's pretty

00:23:03.880 clear.

00:23:04.400 I know

00:23:04.640 exactly what

00:23:05.240 to do.

00:23:05.620 So I

00:23:05.880 would randomly

00:23:07.940 buy flowers

00:23:08.880 and just

00:23:10.180 give her

00:23:10.520 some roses.

00:23:11.740 And what

00:23:12.180 do you think

00:23:12.500 she would

00:23:12.820 say?

00:23:14.500 Instead of

00:23:15.040 saying,

00:23:15.400 oh,

00:23:15.660 my God,

00:23:16.100 I love

00:23:16.440 these.

00:23:17.020 You're the

00:23:17.520 greatest.

00:23:18.540 Thank you

00:23:19.040 for doing

00:23:19.480 this exactly

00:23:20.460 the way I

00:23:21.080 wanted you

00:23:21.520 to do it.

00:23:22.500 It wasn't

00:23:22.960 a holiday.

00:23:24.460 You just

00:23:25.000 showed that

00:23:25.420 you cared.

00:23:25.900 You got some

00:23:26.300 flowers.

00:23:26.740 Did I

00:23:26.980 get that?

00:23:28.160 No,

00:23:28.460 I did

00:23:28.660 not.

00:23:29.960 She said,

00:23:31.860 what are

00:23:32.640 you guilty

00:23:33.060 for?

00:23:33.980 What have

00:23:34.540 you done?

00:23:36.660 That's

00:23:37.100 right.

00:23:37.760 She asked

00:23:38.340 me what

00:23:39.060 I was

00:23:39.700 guilty

00:23:40.100 for

00:23:40.600 because it

00:23:43.380 was sort

00:23:43.680 of a joke.

00:23:44.880 Now,

00:23:45.220 she said

00:23:45.660 it as

00:23:46.140 sort of

00:23:47.200 a joke,

00:23:47.720 but it

00:23:48.080 was also

00:23:48.400 the first

00:23:48.960 thing she

00:23:49.400 said.

00:23:50.740 Now,

00:23:51.080 what do

00:23:51.300 you think

00:23:51.500 the effect

00:23:51.960 on me

00:23:52.320 was?

00:23:53.400 Now,

00:23:53.840 I got

00:23:54.180 that it

00:23:54.420 was a

00:23:54.720 joke,

00:23:55.120 so I'm

00:23:56.440 like,

00:23:56.680 I wish

00:23:57.400 she hadn't

00:23:57.700 told that

00:23:58.100 joke,

00:23:58.520 but yeah,

00:23:58.900 it's just

00:23:59.220 a joke.

00:24:01.000 So,

00:24:02.240 time goes

00:24:02.840 by and

00:24:03.760 I give

00:24:04.140 her flowers

00:24:05.460 again,

00:24:05.900 a different

00:24:06.260 time.

00:24:07.280 What's the

00:24:07.840 first thing

00:24:08.320 she said?

00:24:09.940 Oh,

00:24:10.700 what are

00:24:11.200 you guilty

00:24:11.560 of?

00:24:11.920 What did

00:24:12.240 you do?

00:24:13.560 And I

00:24:13.800 said,

00:24:14.660 I'm

00:24:16.520 really,

00:24:17.360 and by

00:24:17.780 the way,

00:24:18.160 I wasn't

00:24:18.540 guilty of

00:24:18.920 anything.

00:24:19.280 I was

00:24:19.420 just giving

00:24:19.760 her flowers.

00:24:20.840 And I

00:24:21.060 said,

00:24:22.280 you know,

00:24:22.880 it's just

00:24:23.520 the worst.

00:24:24.860 I swear

00:24:26.000 to God,

00:24:26.440 I'm just

00:24:26.780 giving you

00:24:27.220 flowers.

00:24:27.840 You like

00:24:28.240 flowers.

00:24:29.440 You told

00:24:29.820 me you

00:24:30.080 like

00:24:30.280 flowers.

00:24:30.840 You told

00:24:31.160 me you

00:24:31.400 like it

00:24:31.680 when it's

00:24:31.960 not a

00:24:32.280 holiday.

00:24:33.100 I just

00:24:33.540 did it

00:24:33.900 twice,

00:24:34.440 and you

00:24:34.640 just said,

00:24:36.740 what are

00:24:37.380 you guilty

00:24:37.800 for?

00:24:38.480 Like,

00:24:38.820 almost

00:24:39.060 starting a

00:24:39.580 fight.

00:24:39.960 What's

00:24:40.180 going on?

00:24:41.100 And of

00:24:41.500 course,

00:24:41.700 she would

00:24:41.920 say,

00:24:42.140 it's a

00:24:42.340 joke.

00:24:44.600 The third

00:24:45.380 time I

00:24:45.920 gave her

00:24:46.280 flowers,

00:24:47.760 she looked

00:24:48.300 at me

00:24:48.540 and said,

00:24:49.360 oh,

00:24:50.020 what are

00:24:50.340 you guilty

00:24:50.680 for?

00:24:51.000 that was

00:24:52.840 the last

00:24:53.160 time I

00:24:53.460 ever gave

00:24:53.820 her flowers.

00:24:55.400 Now,

00:24:55.720 if you

00:24:55.980 asked her,

00:24:56.440 she would

00:24:56.680 say,

00:24:57.300 I was

00:24:58.140 joking.

00:24:58.640 He knew

00:24:58.900 I was

00:24:59.200 joking.

00:25:00.480 We always

00:25:00.880 joke.

00:25:01.420 What's

00:25:01.820 different about

00:25:02.340 this?

00:25:03.140 We joke

00:25:03.600 about

00:25:03.820 everything.

00:25:04.700 Why would

00:25:05.220 this be

00:25:05.540 different?

00:25:06.260 And the

00:25:06.580 reason is,

00:25:07.060 I didn't

00:25:07.300 get a

00:25:07.840 benefit.

00:25:08.960 I was

00:25:09.560 doing

00:25:09.880 something that

00:25:10.520 took some

00:25:10.940 effort,

00:25:11.760 and I was

00:25:12.560 being punished

00:25:13.060 for it.

00:25:14.520 Now,

00:25:14.820 let's say,

00:25:15.300 suppose you

00:25:15.960 were one of

00:25:16.340 those people

00:25:16.760 who did

00:25:17.280 say,

00:25:18.220 oh,

00:25:18.480 I'm not

00:25:18.800 a racist

00:25:19.120 because I

00:25:20.300 have a

00:25:20.680 best friend

00:25:21.100 who's

00:25:21.360 black.

00:25:23.020 How should

00:25:23.760 you treat

00:25:24.160 that if

00:25:25.060 you are a

00:25:25.540 black person

00:25:26.160 who hears

00:25:26.620 that?

00:25:27.980 Should you

00:25:28.560 say,

00:25:29.820 oh,

00:25:30.260 I get it,

00:25:31.000 you have

00:25:31.280 one black

00:25:31.880 friend,

00:25:32.840 you have

00:25:33.660 one black

00:25:34.160 friend?

00:25:35.640 Should you

00:25:36.180 mock somebody

00:25:36.980 for making

00:25:38.560 a small

00:25:39.100 step in

00:25:40.720 the right

00:25:41.060 direction?

00:25:42.540 The answer

00:25:42.960 is no.

00:25:44.200 It's the

00:25:44.800 dumbest thing

00:25:45.920 anybody ever

00:25:46.660 did.

00:25:47.480 So if

00:25:47.920 you're

00:25:48.080 black and

00:25:48.520 you're

00:25:48.680 watching

00:25:48.900 this,

00:25:49.620 don't ever

00:25:50.020 do that.

00:25:51.300 Here's the

00:25:51.680 correct response.

00:25:54.320 If one of

00:25:55.200 your white

00:25:56.300 associates says,

00:25:57.820 yeah,

00:25:58.100 I'm not a

00:25:58.500 racist,

00:25:59.040 my best

00:25:59.880 friend is

00:26:00.280 black,

00:26:01.080 here's the

00:26:01.640 correct response.

00:26:03.460 That's great

00:26:04.000 to hear.

00:26:05.960 If you

00:26:06.620 want the

00:26:07.020 world to

00:26:07.360 be a

00:26:07.640 better place,

00:26:08.420 the correct

00:26:08.840 response is,

00:26:10.100 you've got a

00:26:10.580 black friend?

00:26:11.300 That's great.

00:26:12.660 I hope you

00:26:13.220 have two

00:26:13.580 black friends

00:26:14.440 sometime soon.

00:26:15.920 In fact,

00:26:16.500 I'll be

00:26:16.760 your friend.

00:26:17.860 How about

00:26:18.140 we be

00:26:18.460 friends?

00:26:18.820 Then you

00:26:19.000 have two.

00:26:19.440 I'll double

00:26:19.820 the number

00:26:20.240 of your

00:26:20.440 black

00:26:20.660 friends.

00:26:22.360 Think about

00:26:23.000 that answer

00:26:23.660 compared to

00:26:25.000 getting

00:26:25.220 mocked for

00:26:27.040 doing the

00:26:27.520 right thing,

00:26:28.120 albeit in a

00:26:28.720 small way.

00:26:29.780 Having one

00:26:30.340 black friend

00:26:30.980 certainly doesn't

00:26:32.580 absolve you of

00:26:33.460 racism.

00:26:34.180 It doesn't

00:26:34.580 mean much.

00:26:36.520 But if you

00:26:37.040 don't reward

00:26:38.740 people for

00:26:39.340 moving one

00:26:40.560 step in the

00:26:41.140 right direction,

00:26:42.480 don't expect a

00:26:43.440 second step,

00:26:45.140 don't expect a

00:26:46.480 second step.

00:26:47.760 You're not

00:26:48.040 going to get

00:26:48.420 it.

00:26:49.300 So stop

00:26:49.660 penalizing people

00:26:50.560 for doing the

00:26:51.120 right thing.

00:26:51.960 That doesn't

00:26:52.340 work.

00:26:52.820 All right,

00:26:53.100 that's enough

00:26:53.480 on that.

00:26:55.940 So this is

00:26:56.780 what President

00:26:57.560 Trump said

00:26:58.100 recently in a

00:26:59.180 tweet.

00:26:59.760 This was over

00:27:01.240 a day ago,

00:27:01.820 I guess.

00:27:02.700 He said,

00:27:03.100 Mini Mike

00:27:03.560 Bloomberg is a

00:27:04.360 loser who has

00:27:05.020 money but can't

00:27:05.840 debate.

00:27:06.860 There's zero

00:27:07.440 presence.

00:27:08.980 You will see.

00:27:10.460 The debate

00:27:11.160 expert on

00:27:11.740 Smirkanish

00:27:12.660 actually agreed

00:27:13.340 with that.

00:27:13.960 And he said

00:27:14.320 that Bloomberg

00:27:16.260 doesn't have

00:27:16.860 much presence.

00:27:19.040 Then he said

00:27:19.500 he reminds me

00:27:20.220 of a tiny

00:27:20.720 version of

00:27:21.340 Jeb low

00:27:21.860 energy push.

00:27:24.520 I don't

00:27:25.180 know what

00:27:25.540 could be

00:27:25.860 funnier than

00:27:27.100 calling him a

00:27:27.780 tiny version

00:27:28.500 of Jeb

00:27:28.980 push.

00:27:32.160 That is

00:27:32.840 frankly

00:27:33.240 hilarious.

00:27:34.900 And by

00:27:35.220 the way,

00:27:36.240 on Smirkanish

00:27:38.420 also, they

00:27:39.240 talked about

00:27:39.760 how making

00:27:40.760 fun of

00:27:41.180 Bloomberg's

00:27:41.780 height might

00:27:42.900 not be a

00:27:43.380 bad idea

00:27:43.980 because

00:27:44.520 biologically

00:27:45.220 we're sort

00:27:46.220 of primed

00:27:46.980 for size

00:27:48.240 being important.

00:27:49.800 It shouldn't

00:27:50.300 be important.

00:27:51.680 There's no

00:27:52.160 reason the

00:27:52.760 president needs

00:27:53.340 to be a

00:27:53.640 certain size.

00:27:54.240 We shouldn't

00:27:54.740 care about

00:27:55.180 that at

00:27:55.520 all.

00:27:56.740 But on

00:27:57.160 some subconscious

00:27:58.400 level we do.

00:27:59.620 So even

00:27:59.960 that technique

00:28:00.920 has been

00:28:01.500 now recognized

00:28:02.100 as just

00:28:02.640 solid technique.

00:28:05.540 Blah,

00:28:06.100 blah,

00:28:06.200 blah.

00:28:06.780 Okay.

00:28:07.100 What else

00:28:09.780 we got

00:28:10.060 here?

00:28:12.880 Have you

00:28:13.500 noticed

00:28:13.780 that one

00:28:16.160 of the

00:28:16.440 unintended

00:28:16.820 effects of

00:28:17.640 Bloomberg

00:28:17.920 entering the

00:28:18.580 race is

00:28:19.720 that he

00:28:19.900 makes Steyer

00:28:20.980 look poor?

00:28:23.720 You know,

00:28:24.360 you've got

00:28:24.700 Steyer whose

00:28:25.920 primary claim

00:28:26.800 to fame is

00:28:27.840 that he can

00:28:28.200 go toe-to-toe

00:28:29.280 with President

00:28:30.220 Trump on the

00:28:30.920 economy.

00:28:31.360 because Steyer

00:28:33.580 would say,

00:28:34.080 well,

00:28:34.200 he understands

00:28:34.760 the economy,

00:28:35.700 he became

00:28:36.380 rich,

00:28:37.040 he can really

00:28:37.740 speak to that

00:28:38.480 against Trump.

00:28:40.540 Then Bloomberg

00:28:41.100 answers the

00:28:41.720 race and

00:28:42.120 makes Steyer

00:28:42.620 look like a

00:28:43.140 loser.

00:28:44.540 I mean,

00:28:44.840 what's Steyer

00:28:46.140 got?

00:28:46.820 $3 billion

00:28:47.740 or something?

00:28:48.720 I don't know

00:28:49.040 what the

00:28:49.260 number is.

00:28:50.220 $1 billion,

00:28:50.960 $3 billion?

00:28:53.160 Bloomberg's

00:28:53.680 got like

00:28:54.060 $70 billion.

00:28:57.140 So Steyer's

00:28:58.160 only advantage

00:28:59.080 that he was

00:29:00.680 a successful

00:29:01.480 business person.

00:29:03.360 He doesn't

00:29:04.100 look so

00:29:04.500 successful when

00:29:06.020 you put him

00:29:06.380 next to

00:29:06.840 Bloomberg.

00:29:08.100 He just

00:29:08.760 looks like

00:29:09.140 some hedge

00:29:09.600 fund guy

00:29:10.080 who was

00:29:11.120 in the

00:29:11.280 right place

00:29:11.660 at the

00:29:11.880 right time.

00:29:15.100 Let's see.

00:29:16.640 Oh,

00:29:16.900 and then

00:29:17.220 also,

00:29:18.520 there was

00:29:18.780 a legal

00:29:19.140 expert on,

00:29:20.760 this was

00:29:21.400 also

00:29:21.680 Smirkanish,

00:29:22.980 but the

00:29:23.600 legal expert

00:29:24.120 was agreeing

00:29:24.700 that Roger

00:29:25.860 Stone's

00:29:26.300 sentence was

00:29:26.840 too long.

00:29:27.360 I'm

00:29:29.200 watching the

00:29:29.700 news today

00:29:30.200 and all

00:29:30.560 I'm seeing

00:29:30.940 is people

00:29:31.380 agreeing with

00:29:32.340 everything that

00:29:33.000 Trump has

00:29:33.500 said or

00:29:33.920 Republicans

00:29:34.400 have said

00:29:35.020 or Trump

00:29:36.100 supporters

00:29:36.600 have been

00:29:36.940 saying and

00:29:38.400 it's really

00:29:39.560 weird to

00:29:41.820 watch people

00:29:42.320 agreeing on

00:29:42.860 this.

00:29:43.800 It probably

00:29:44.500 didn't hurt

00:29:45.220 that Avenatti

00:29:46.420 got convicted

00:29:47.680 and it looks

00:29:48.160 like he's

00:29:48.520 going to go

00:29:48.860 to jail for

00:29:49.480 a very long

00:29:50.060 time.

00:29:51.460 I think

00:29:52.460 that all

00:29:53.860 the people

00:29:54.260 who were

00:29:54.520 praising Avenatti

00:29:55.580 and using

00:29:56.260 him on

00:29:56.820 their shows,

00:29:58.160 well,

00:29:58.500 maybe they've,

00:29:59.680 I think they've

00:30:00.360 got a little

00:30:00.740 bit of

00:30:01.040 humility.

00:30:01.900 They may

00:30:02.200 never admit

00:30:02.780 it,

00:30:03.560 but I'm

00:30:04.440 noticing a

00:30:05.140 very distinct

00:30:06.360 turn because

00:30:08.160 it would be

00:30:08.620 hard to

00:30:09.100 notice all

00:30:09.780 of these

00:30:10.240 pieces of

00:30:11.180 information,

00:30:11.920 you know,

00:30:12.060 to see that

00:30:12.600 Russia collusion

00:30:13.380 was fake,

00:30:14.520 to watch the

00:30:15.580 president go

00:30:16.260 full on

00:30:17.040 trying to

00:30:17.720 get the

00:30:18.020 black vote

00:30:18.760 in the

00:30:19.780 context that

00:30:20.580 most people

00:30:21.140 think he's

00:30:21.640 still a racist,

00:30:23.080 and they're

00:30:23.380 trying to

00:30:23.700 figure out,

00:30:24.160 wait a minute,

00:30:24.620 wait a minute,

00:30:25.060 it doesn't

00:30:25.280 make sense.

00:30:26.400 If he's a

00:30:26.920 racist,

00:30:28.100 he should not

00:30:28.740 be trying to

00:30:29.260 get the

00:30:29.560 black vote,

00:30:30.500 and he should

00:30:31.340 be trying to

00:30:31.940 tighten up

00:30:32.360 the border,

00:30:33.320 but he's

00:30:34.140 only tightening

00:30:34.700 up the

00:30:35.140 border while

00:30:36.600 he's trying

00:30:37.040 hard to get

00:30:37.580 the black

00:30:37.940 vote and

00:30:38.480 has actually

00:30:39.160 accomplished

00:30:39.620 real things

00:30:40.300 that matter

00:30:41.000 to that

00:30:41.420 community.

00:30:42.740 How does

00:30:43.060 that make

00:30:43.360 sense?

00:30:44.920 And they're

00:30:45.220 just starting

00:30:45.960 to figure out

00:30:46.680 that maybe

00:30:47.340 the border

00:30:47.880 stuff is

00:30:48.420 actually about

00:30:49.340 America first,

00:30:50.780 and guess

00:30:51.100 who's in

00:30:51.400 America?

00:30:52.560 African

00:30:52.940 Americans.

00:30:54.620 Republicans

00:30:55.620 prioritize black

00:30:58.660 voters higher

00:31:00.260 than Democrats

00:31:01.420 do.

00:31:01.980 There's no way

00:31:02.840 around that

00:31:03.400 anymore.

00:31:04.780 No reasonable

00:31:05.580 person could

00:31:07.060 say anymore,

00:31:08.480 based on this

00:31:09.460 year, no

00:31:10.520 reasonable person

00:31:11.380 could make the

00:31:12.860 claim, I don't

00:31:13.500 think, that

00:31:15.320 Democrats

00:31:15.880 prioritize black

00:31:17.960 voters in this

00:31:19.100 country, black

00:31:19.700 citizens, higher

00:31:21.140 than Republicans.

00:31:21.920 I don't

00:31:23.160 even think

00:31:23.500 it's close

00:31:24.060 anymore, right?

00:31:25.740 Because in

00:31:26.380 the Democratic

00:31:28.300 Party, they

00:31:29.000 probably put,

00:31:29.840 you know, well,

00:31:30.840 I don't know,

00:31:31.820 they've got a

00:31:32.420 lot of identities

00:31:34.020 over there, so

00:31:34.680 I'm not sure

00:31:35.060 who's first, but

00:31:35.840 it's definitely

00:31:36.200 not the black

00:31:36.760 community.

00:31:37.580 I would say it

00:31:38.540 would be more

00:31:39.060 likely the

00:31:39.620 immigrant community.

00:31:41.460 So I would

00:31:41.880 say the Democrats

00:31:42.600 are clearly

00:31:43.880 putting a higher

00:31:44.760 priority on

00:31:45.920 non-citizens.

00:31:47.820 and if you're

00:31:50.880 an African

00:31:51.480 American, you're

00:31:52.960 a citizen.

00:31:54.560 What do

00:31:55.660 Republicans, who

00:31:56.720 are America

00:31:57.500 first, where

00:31:58.280 do they rank

00:31:59.040 citizens?

00:32:01.080 Top.

00:32:02.120 Number one,

00:32:02.980 right?

00:32:03.560 So if you're

00:32:04.200 black and you're

00:32:05.940 American, you're

00:32:07.440 a citizen,

00:32:09.140 Republicans rank

00:32:10.260 you at the

00:32:11.380 top with

00:32:13.160 themselves, right?

00:32:14.640 They put you in

00:32:15.420 the same category

00:32:16.080 as themselves and

00:32:16.840 say, wait, you're

00:32:17.800 American, I'm

00:32:18.580 American, we

00:32:19.180 follow the

00:32:19.580 Constitution, we're

00:32:20.800 the top.

00:32:21.600 Top priority.

00:32:23.060 Come on over

00:32:23.500 here.

00:32:24.200 You and I, top

00:32:24.940 priority.

00:32:25.860 How in the

00:32:26.380 world do you

00:32:28.020 vote for the

00:32:28.520 other side when

00:32:30.040 one side is

00:32:30.920 giving you a

00:32:31.860 record of

00:32:32.320 accomplishment and

00:32:33.780 says explicitly,

00:32:35.220 I mean, it's

00:32:36.240 built into the

00:32:37.860 whole belief

00:32:38.340 system, the

00:32:39.600 Constitution, it's

00:32:41.080 built into the

00:32:41.840 Bible, that we're

00:32:43.400 all equal under

00:32:44.700 the law and

00:32:45.480 under God,

00:32:46.220 according to

00:32:46.800 people who

00:32:47.700 believe that

00:32:48.060 stuff.

00:32:49.040 Now, I'm

00:32:50.200 pro-religion, I'm

00:32:51.040 just not a

00:32:51.480 believer in

00:32:51.840 myself.

00:32:55.320 I just, I

00:32:56.360 just, I

00:32:57.860 can't fathom

00:32:58.900 how you can

00:33:01.020 be a black

00:33:01.580 voter and

00:33:02.160 still support

00:33:02.800 Democrats in

00:33:03.500 2020.

00:33:04.400 I think it

00:33:04.800 made sense in

00:33:05.340 the past, but

00:33:06.760 if you look at

00:33:07.420 the current

00:33:07.800 situation, it's

00:33:08.560 not even close.

00:33:10.180 Who

00:33:10.540 prioritizes you

00:33:11.540 higher?

00:33:12.160 Not even

00:33:12.540 close.

00:33:12.920 I'm going to

00:33:16.680 take some

00:33:17.380 calls.

00:33:20.080 I'd like to

00:33:20.720 hear from

00:33:21.040 anybody, I've

00:33:22.820 done this

00:33:23.160 before and

00:33:23.680 it's fun because

00:33:25.080 it's educational.

00:33:26.860 I want to

00:33:27.460 talk to people

00:33:28.160 who I've

00:33:29.780 changed their

00:33:30.580 mind about

00:33:32.120 anything.

00:33:32.760 It doesn't

00:33:33.060 have to be

00:33:33.500 politics, it

00:33:34.200 doesn't have

00:33:34.500 to be about

00:33:34.940 Trump, it

00:33:36.540 doesn't have to

00:33:36.980 be about

00:33:37.480 anything really.

00:33:38.540 but I

00:33:40.720 want to

00:33:41.100 hear from

00:33:41.380 people whose

00:33:42.240 minds were

00:33:43.060 changed by

00:33:44.860 one of my

00:33:45.380 books or

00:33:45.880 periscopes or

00:33:46.700 a tweet or

00:33:47.240 something.

00:33:48.140 So that's

00:33:48.620 primarily what

00:33:49.680 I'm looking

00:33:50.020 for.

00:33:50.900 So you

00:33:51.460 should be

00:33:51.920 able to

00:33:52.560 join by

00:33:54.800 clicking on

00:33:55.420 that little

00:33:55.880 icon at the

00:33:56.940 bottom that

00:33:57.380 looks like

00:33:57.740 happy faces.

00:33:59.700 And since I

00:34:00.600 didn't tell

00:34:01.040 people why I

00:34:02.240 wanted to

00:34:02.700 talk, some

00:34:03.340 of you who

00:34:03.900 already signed

00:34:04.560 up, I see

00:34:05.040 already

00:34:05.360 disappearing.

00:34:06.580 But I'm

00:34:09.020 going to

00:34:09.140 look for

00:34:09.420 somebody who's

00:34:10.340 let's see

00:34:12.840 if Mike

00:34:13.580 is following

00:34:14.560 directions.

00:34:17.220 Mike, can

00:34:18.020 you hear me?

00:34:20.760 Mike, did

00:34:21.720 I influence

00:34:22.320 you in any

00:34:22.880 way?

00:34:23.880 Definitely

00:34:24.400 in 2016.

00:34:27.660 Originally, I

00:34:29.660 was a big

00:34:30.000 fan of your

00:34:30.560 comic strip and

00:34:31.520 the whole story

00:34:32.160 about you

00:34:32.880 changing

00:34:34.640 careers.

00:34:35.540 So I was

00:34:35.800 always a fan

00:34:36.320 of yours.

00:34:37.520 I used to

00:34:38.240 be, I

00:34:38.900 had a

00:34:39.180 Bernie sign

00:34:39.760 on my

00:34:40.040 front lawn.

00:34:42.140 I don't

00:34:42.320 know, I

00:34:44.280 was really

00:34:44.860 into the

00:34:45.500 whole being

00:34:46.560 a Democrat.

00:34:47.620 And then

00:34:48.820 in 2016, you

00:34:50.000 influenced me

00:34:50.820 to kind of

00:34:51.600 become an

00:34:52.000 independent

00:34:52.480 confirmation

00:34:54.480 bias, you

00:34:55.500 know?

00:34:56.760 Well, good.

00:34:57.740 So you

00:34:59.160 made the

00:34:59.460 change.

00:35:00.060 Can you

00:35:00.340 remember, was

00:35:01.380 there any

00:35:01.860 moment when

00:35:03.360 you said to

00:35:03.840 yourself, oh,

00:35:05.640 I think I'm

00:35:06.280 going to

00:35:06.460 change my

00:35:06.940 mind?

00:35:07.300 Was there

00:35:07.540 any topic?

00:35:08.840 Do you

00:35:09.060 remember anything

00:35:09.660 specific or

00:35:10.480 was it sort

00:35:10.980 of the weight

00:35:11.860 of things?

00:35:13.840 Well, it

00:35:14.220 was, you

00:35:15.840 know, getting

00:35:16.420 on Twitter and

00:35:17.240 at first I was

00:35:18.240 the typical

00:35:19.040 troll, you

00:35:20.180 know, an

00:35:20.540 anonymous

00:35:20.900 account, you

00:35:21.620 know, and

00:35:22.460 you convinced

00:35:22.900 me to maybe

00:35:24.000 not be

00:35:24.480 anonymous.

00:35:25.820 And then it

00:35:26.940 was kind of

00:35:27.520 seeing some of

00:35:28.080 the news

00:35:28.380 reports about

00:35:29.040 Bernie.

00:35:29.820 It started

00:35:30.120 with Bernie.

00:35:30.800 Like, they

00:35:31.540 say, oh,

00:35:31.940 they're throwing

00:35:32.380 chairs at the

00:35:33.560 convention and

00:35:34.400 then I see the

00:35:35.640 video and there

00:35:36.440 wasn't no chair

00:35:37.200 and then you

00:35:37.600 start talking

00:35:38.220 about cognitive

00:35:39.700 dissonance and

00:35:40.500 it kind of

00:35:40.920 kicked in with

00:35:41.520 me when, like,

00:35:43.000 my dad, who

00:35:43.580 was a lifelong

00:35:44.100 Democrat, would

00:35:44.820 call me and

00:35:45.160 go, you

00:35:45.700 got to listen

00:35:46.180 to this guy.

00:35:46.800 His name is

00:35:47.200 Keith Olbermann.

00:35:48.060 He's speaking

00:35:48.360 on me.

00:35:48.700 Like, really?

00:35:50.720 And so all

00:35:51.380 the people around

00:35:51.960 me that I kind

00:35:52.900 of listened to

00:35:53.360 before were very

00:35:55.000 much staunch

00:35:55.620 Democrats.

00:35:56.680 And then for

00:35:57.220 me, it was

00:35:58.060 like, wait a

00:35:59.280 minute, I'm

00:35:59.480 seeing these

00:36:00.220 news reports

00:36:01.100 that aren't

00:36:01.360 quite right.

00:36:02.140 This guy's

00:36:02.540 talking about

00:36:03.100 confirmation

00:36:03.720 bias.

00:36:04.460 He's talking

00:36:04.760 about cognitive

00:36:06.060 dissonance and

00:36:06.700 then I realized

00:36:07.100 I had all

00:36:07.660 that and then

00:36:08.340 I kind of,

00:36:09.900 you know,

00:36:10.660 that's what

00:36:11.140 did it for

00:36:11.820 me is I

00:36:12.260 kind of realized

00:36:12.900 that maybe

00:36:13.920 this guy's

00:36:14.720 not as, you

00:36:15.820 know, crazy

00:36:16.900 as I thought

00:36:17.400 he was.

00:36:18.500 Well, that's

00:36:19.360 great.

00:36:20.120 So thank you

00:36:20.780 for that.

00:36:21.080 I'm going to

00:36:21.320 see if I can

00:36:21.820 get some more

00:36:22.380 stories here,

00:36:23.640 but thank you

00:36:24.100 so much for

00:36:24.680 weighing in.

00:36:25.900 All right.

00:36:26.440 All right.

00:36:28.100 Let's see

00:36:28.700 who else

00:36:29.400 we got

00:36:30.440 here.

00:36:31.020 Oh, we

00:36:31.400 got lots

00:36:31.760 of, lots

00:36:33.080 of people

00:36:33.420 weighing in.

00:36:34.440 Let's go

00:36:34.960 with Patricia.

00:36:40.240 Patricia, can

00:36:41.060 you hear me?

00:36:43.100 Patricia?

00:36:44.740 Patricia?

00:36:47.640 Can you

00:36:48.300 hear me,

00:36:48.680 Patricia?

00:36:49.680 Yeah.

00:36:49.960 Oh, hi.

00:36:52.380 Did I

00:36:52.980 influence you

00:36:53.640 in any way,

00:36:54.220 Patricia?

00:36:55.540 Yes.

00:36:57.880 Speak up a

00:36:58.560 little bit.

00:36:58.880 You're a

00:36:59.100 little bit low.

00:36:59.860 Can you

00:37:00.280 tell me how?

00:37:02.620 Yes.

00:37:03.140 Yes.

00:37:03.460 You influenced

00:37:04.260 me, although

00:37:04.800 I was...

00:37:08.960 Oh, we've

00:37:09.660 got a little

00:37:09.960 audio problem.

00:37:11.780 All right.

00:37:12.300 Unfortunately,

00:37:12.700 I'm going to

00:37:13.140 have to try

00:37:13.920 somebody else

00:37:14.780 because we

00:37:15.200 don't have a

00:37:15.700 good connection

00:37:16.300 there, but

00:37:16.820 I wanted to

00:37:17.400 hear the

00:37:17.780 rest of

00:37:18.280 that.

00:37:19.160 Let's go

00:37:19.680 to Lorenza.

00:37:24.680 Lorenza?

00:37:26.320 Let's see

00:37:26.940 if our

00:37:27.220 technology works

00:37:28.100 here.

00:37:29.260 Nope, Lorenza's

00:37:30.180 gone.

00:37:32.200 I'm not sure

00:37:32.660 if people get

00:37:33.460 shy just when

00:37:34.840 I select them

00:37:35.640 or what's

00:37:36.340 going on

00:37:36.820 here, but

00:37:37.380 I think

00:37:38.700 Michael's

00:37:40.420 suite is

00:37:41.000 coming at

00:37:41.440 you.

00:37:43.300 Michael, can

00:37:44.300 you hear me?

00:37:44.800 unfortunately, I

00:37:48.380 can't hear you.

00:37:49.220 You're just a

00:37:49.720 little buzz in

00:37:50.400 the background,

00:37:51.000 so I'm going

00:37:51.260 to have to

00:37:51.580 try somebody

00:37:52.160 who's got a

00:37:52.680 better connection.

00:37:54.960 I can hear

00:37:55.660 you, but I

00:37:56.100 wouldn't be able

00:37:56.840 to tell the

00:37:57.260 actual words.

00:37:59.000 Let's try

00:37:59.620 Jeremy.

00:38:04.120 Jeremy, can

00:38:04.820 you hear me?

00:38:08.460 Hey, Jeremy,

00:38:09.300 have I influenced

00:38:10.040 you in any way

00:38:10.680 to change your

00:38:11.240 mind about

00:38:11.560 anything?

00:38:12.520 Oh, everything.

00:38:13.940 Thanks so

00:38:14.500 much.

00:38:14.920 I've been

00:38:15.220 following you

00:38:15.860 for like

00:38:16.240 three years,

00:38:17.160 I think,

00:38:17.560 or so,

00:38:18.060 when the

00:38:18.880 election was

00:38:19.380 going on.

00:38:20.900 And, yeah,

00:38:23.500 like, it was

00:38:24.660 a video on

00:38:25.240 YouTube, how

00:38:26.620 Trump is a

00:38:27.220 master persuader,

00:38:28.780 and I watched

00:38:29.720 that, and it

00:38:31.520 totally changed

00:38:33.400 everything.

00:38:34.940 Because at the

00:38:36.340 time, it was

00:38:36.920 like Trump was

00:38:37.500 crazy to me.

00:38:38.460 I was like a

00:38:38.880 Democrat.

00:38:39.940 I was like a

00:38:41.640 Bernie guy.

00:38:42.140 I was a big

00:38:42.440 Bernie guy.

00:38:42.940 and then

00:38:45.840 during the

00:38:46.940 election, it

00:38:48.160 was all

00:38:48.580 changing.

00:38:49.060 I was seeing

00:38:49.460 like all the

00:38:49.920 fake news, and

00:38:50.760 now my

00:38:53.460 girlfriend is a

00:38:54.480 Bernie person,

00:38:55.060 and it's going

00:38:58.420 to be a wild

00:38:59.060 year.

00:38:59.540 I swear, it's

00:39:00.500 going to be very

00:39:01.360 interesting.

00:39:02.120 But, you know,

00:39:03.140 she's on her

00:39:04.000 team, and I

00:39:04.900 don't know how

00:39:05.300 to persuade her

00:39:06.140 like you did

00:39:06.680 me.

00:39:06.900 Well, you're

00:39:09.540 going to have

00:39:09.800 to have some

00:39:10.180 dates where all

00:39:10.900 you do is listen

00:39:11.760 to my videos.

00:39:13.160 All right, well,

00:39:14.420 thanks for the

00:39:15.980 call.

00:39:16.480 I'm going to

00:39:17.060 talk to some

00:39:18.540 more people.

00:39:19.620 I don't know if

00:39:20.300 the audio is good

00:39:21.120 on your side.

00:39:21.760 I can barely hear

00:39:22.700 in my headset, but

00:39:24.420 I don't know if

00:39:24.920 that's just

00:39:26.160 something that's

00:39:26.740 happening to me.

00:39:28.340 Let's look at

00:39:29.500 Chase.

00:39:32.320 Chase.

00:39:33.680 Chase, can

00:39:34.360 you hear me?

00:39:34.780 Hey, did I

00:39:38.220 influence you in

00:39:38.940 any way, Chase?

00:39:40.240 You sure did,

00:39:41.600 late 2015 to

00:39:43.140 early 2016.

00:39:44.600 And did it

00:39:45.420 change your

00:39:45.820 vote?

00:39:47.480 It did not.

00:39:49.360 I usually

00:39:50.500 vote Republican,

00:39:52.080 although I

00:39:52.900 haven't voted

00:39:54.040 in the past

00:39:54.980 couple of

00:39:55.460 elections, but

00:39:56.160 it has changed

00:39:57.440 my mind about

00:39:58.100 how to think

00:39:58.860 about things.

00:40:01.840 All right.

00:40:02.280 so I just

00:40:05.360 lost sound on

00:40:06.480 you, but I

00:40:07.800 think some

00:40:08.500 people can

00:40:09.480 hear, but

00:40:11.680 thank you for

00:40:12.160 that, and I

00:40:13.560 don't mean to

00:40:14.040 be rude if I

00:40:14.800 cut anybody off

00:40:15.540 just because I'm

00:40:16.320 having audio

00:40:17.040 problems in some

00:40:17.860 cases.

00:40:19.160 Let's see what

00:40:19.800 Lynn has to

00:40:20.620 say.

00:40:24.060 Lynn?

00:40:24.820 Lynn, can

00:40:25.500 you hear me?

00:40:28.140 Lynn, did I

00:40:28.960 hear you?

00:40:29.680 Did I

00:40:30.680 persuade you or

00:40:32.140 change your

00:40:32.540 mind about

00:40:32.900 anything?

00:40:33.800 Actually, in

00:40:34.460 multiple ways.

00:40:36.400 Number one,

00:40:37.300 coffee is a

00:40:38.040 must in the

00:40:38.520 morning now.

00:40:39.700 Absolutely.

00:40:40.480 First tip of

00:40:41.020 the day.

00:40:42.200 Secondly, I

00:40:43.480 didn't vote in

00:40:44.060 the last election.

00:40:45.220 I will be

00:40:45.620 voting this time,

00:40:46.560 and I will be

00:40:47.120 voting for Trump.

00:40:48.320 Last time I

00:40:48.820 couldn't decide

00:40:49.420 between the

00:40:49.940 worst of two

00:40:50.500 evils.

00:40:51.540 But you've

00:40:51.980 opened my

00:40:52.440 eyes to the

00:40:53.280 cognitive

00:40:53.700 dissidents and

00:40:54.920 many other

00:40:55.940 things.

00:40:56.840 I can't wait

00:40:58.060 for your

00:40:58.820 morning coffee.

00:41:01.500 I grew up

00:41:02.300 in Washington,

00:41:03.080 and I just

00:41:03.480 recently moved

00:41:04.100 to Arizona,

00:41:05.260 and I have

00:41:05.780 to tell you

00:41:06.180 what a

00:41:06.660 change that

00:41:07.320 was.

00:41:07.800 Wow.

00:41:08.720 Wow.

00:41:09.380 All right,

00:41:09.940 thank you.

00:41:10.460 Thank you for

00:41:10.960 the input.

00:41:11.680 I'm having

00:41:12.420 much audio

00:41:13.220 problems.

00:41:13.780 I'm going to

00:41:14.160 move on to

00:41:14.880 another caller.

00:41:17.040 I'm seeing in

00:41:17.640 the comments

00:41:18.140 that I think

00:41:18.920 you guys can

00:41:19.500 hear the audio

00:41:20.100 better than I

00:41:20.980 can.

00:41:22.060 Let's see,

00:41:23.980 Mr. Mendoza.

00:41:25.800 Mr. Mendoza,

00:41:27.260 hi.

00:41:28.060 Yes.

00:41:31.300 About voting?

00:41:32.760 To me,

00:41:33.600 everyday driving,

00:41:35.780 you've influenced

00:41:36.500 me in a way

00:41:37.320 that's different.

00:41:38.960 That's where

00:41:39.760 people get

00:41:40.480 anxious when

00:41:40.980 they drive.

00:41:42.200 You've taught

00:41:42.980 that people

00:41:43.600 act selfishly,

00:41:45.280 and that's

00:41:45.920 one way that

00:41:46.380 I've learned

00:41:46.880 to not get

00:41:48.720 affected by the

00:41:49.280 way other

00:41:49.540 people drive.

00:41:51.180 I've noticed

00:41:51.880 when people

00:41:52.160 get into an

00:41:52.680 accident,

00:41:53.420 about 85%

00:41:54.340 of the people

00:41:54.700 think they're

00:41:55.080 good drivers,

00:41:56.120 and that's

00:41:56.420 when cognitive

00:41:56.880 dissonance

00:41:57.420 kicks in.

00:41:58.860 You hear

00:41:59.200 people say,

00:41:59.760 that's not

00:42:00.300 my fault,

00:42:00.880 even though

00:42:01.140 they caused

00:42:01.500 the accident.

00:42:04.500 It's pretty

00:42:05.160 rare to hear

00:42:06.300 anybody say

00:42:06.960 that they're

00:42:07.360 a below

00:42:07.820 average driver.

00:42:09.920 You never

00:42:10.320 hear that,

00:42:10.800 do you?

00:42:11.460 No,

00:42:11.840 you don't.

00:42:12.660 And then

00:42:12.980 with confirmation

00:42:13.960 bias,

00:42:14.340 I drive a

00:42:15.000 Prius.

00:42:15.380 Prius.

00:42:15.860 So a lot

00:42:16.300 of people

00:42:16.560 pickup trucks

00:42:17.320 try to

00:42:17.860 always zoom

00:42:18.700 by me.

00:42:19.660 So I

00:42:19.820 know that's

00:42:20.180 when confirmation

00:42:20.740 bias kicks

00:42:21.260 in.

00:42:22.040 There's no

00:42:22.460 way a Prius

00:42:23.200 can drive

00:42:25.480 faster than a

00:42:26.120 pickup truck.

00:42:27.020 So I'm always

00:42:27.540 getting cut off

00:42:28.180 left and

00:42:28.540 right.

00:42:28.780 that does

00:42:31.080 sound like a

00:42:31.560 problem.

00:42:32.420 All right.

00:42:32.700 Thank you.

00:42:33.280 Thanks for the

00:42:33.680 input.

00:42:34.340 Sure.

00:42:36.100 Let's take

00:42:36.760 another here.

00:42:38.380 This is more

00:42:39.140 fun than I

00:42:39.600 thought it

00:42:39.840 would be.

00:42:40.700 All right.

00:42:41.320 Let's see if

00:42:42.200 Maximilian can

00:42:43.900 hear me.

00:42:45.000 Maximilian,

00:42:46.100 Max.

00:42:48.040 Max is

00:42:48.760 gone.

00:42:49.580 That didn't

00:42:49.980 work.

00:42:51.580 I'll stay

00:42:52.440 with me.

00:42:53.060 We're going

00:42:53.600 to Jake.

00:42:56.840 Jake,

00:42:57.600 Jake,

00:42:58.500 Jake,

00:42:58.900 can you

00:42:59.040 hear me?

00:43:01.320 I can

00:43:02.000 hear you.

00:43:02.620 Did I

00:43:02.900 influence you

00:43:03.600 or change

00:43:04.000 your mind

00:43:04.420 at all?

00:43:05.320 Yeah.

00:43:05.640 So yesterday

00:43:06.560 I,

00:43:08.120 so I

00:43:09.300 was having,

00:43:09.700 I've been in

00:43:10.520 a little bit

00:43:10.860 of a predicament

00:43:11.640 where I'm

00:43:12.700 generally a

00:43:13.660 pretty optimistic

00:43:14.280 person,

00:43:14.820 but my roommate

00:43:15.540 has been

00:43:16.800 spiraling down

00:43:18.040 this sort

00:43:19.200 of self

00:43:19.920 deprecating

00:43:20.680 and negative

00:43:21.740 rabbit hole.

00:43:23.740 And I've been

00:43:24.660 trying to think

00:43:25.460 like, you know

00:43:25.860 what?

00:43:26.020 I don't want

00:43:26.280 this to

00:43:26.560 influence me,

00:43:27.740 you know,

00:43:28.240 so I'm going

00:43:29.040 to distance

00:43:29.600 myself.

00:43:30.600 But I heard

00:43:31.320 your periscope

00:43:32.400 where you said

00:43:33.340 you're either

00:43:33.980 programmed or

00:43:36.080 you program.

00:43:37.700 So I thought,

00:43:38.300 you know,

00:43:38.540 if I don't

00:43:39.900 want this to

00:43:40.460 influence me,

00:43:41.120 I have to

00:43:41.520 make it my

00:43:41.960 responsibility

00:43:42.540 to influence

00:43:44.500 my roommate.

00:43:45.380 So that kind

00:43:46.060 of like changed

00:43:46.600 my whole perspective

00:43:47.400 where I used

00:43:47.820 to kind of

00:43:48.120 like guard

00:43:48.660 my psychology

00:43:50.000 to make sure

00:43:51.080 that negative

00:43:51.520 people didn't

00:43:52.080 influence me

00:43:52.780 or affect

00:43:53.600 my outlook.

00:43:54.480 that's a huge

00:43:59.020 change.

00:43:59.740 Watch how much

00:44:02.160 more effective

00:44:02.820 that gets

00:44:03.360 over time.

00:44:04.360 Totally.

00:44:04.780 So you're

00:44:05.200 going to see

00:44:06.280 that that just

00:44:06.800 gets stronger

00:44:07.380 and stronger

00:44:07.900 as a concept.

00:44:09.000 I'm glad that

00:44:09.720 you responded

00:44:11.340 to that.

00:44:11.880 Thanks for the

00:44:12.300 call.

00:44:12.820 No problem.

00:44:15.860 All right.

00:44:16.740 Let's see

00:44:17.580 who else we

00:44:18.680 got.

00:44:19.540 We got lots

00:44:20.060 of people

00:44:20.340 coming out

00:44:20.800 here.

00:44:21.000 All right.

00:44:23.240 Let's try

00:44:23.600 Lorenza.

00:44:27.140 Lorenza.

00:44:28.420 Lorenza.

00:44:30.380 Lorenza's

00:44:31.160 technology

00:44:31.800 seems inadequate.

00:44:34.820 So Lorenza,

00:44:36.380 two failures

00:44:37.120 on that one.

00:44:38.060 All right.

00:44:38.720 Let's try

00:44:39.920 Alex.

00:44:41.200 Alex.

00:44:45.520 Alex,

00:44:45.960 can you hear

00:44:46.280 me?

00:44:48.300 Alex?

00:44:50.320 Alex?

00:44:51.440 All right.

00:44:51.980 Well,

00:44:52.300 I guess the

00:44:52.740 technology is

00:44:53.500 not going to

00:44:54.440 give us what

00:44:56.480 we want.

00:44:56.680 Alex,

00:44:57.120 can I hear

00:44:57.420 you?

00:44:59.100 Alex?

00:45:00.340 All right.

00:45:00.660 Well,

00:45:00.800 it's no fun

00:45:01.300 for you to

00:45:01.660 sit here and

00:45:02.240 wonder why

00:45:02.860 you can't

00:45:03.200 hear anything.

00:45:04.320 So I think

00:45:04.720 I'll end it

00:45:05.200 here.

00:45:06.480 And,

00:45:06.880 oh,

00:45:08.880 you're here.

00:45:09.380 Still here?

00:45:12.180 Apparently not.

00:45:13.880 All right.

00:45:14.340 Sorry about that.

00:45:15.760 And I will

00:45:16.260 talk to you

00:45:17.000 all tomorrow.
