00:00:07.640 Hey, everybody.
00:00:08.340 Come on in.
00:00:08.840 It's time forILY with Scott Adams.
00:00:12.180 And you know what that means.
00:00:14.180 Yes, you do.
00:00:15.000 It's the best part of the day.
00:00:16.820 It's the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:19.180 And to participate...
00:00:22.380 Got dope?
00:00:23.560 Somebody says, good.
00:00:25.200 Well, your simultaneous sip may be different than most of the rest of you.
00:00:30.000 If you would like to participate in the simultaneous sip, it doesn't take much.
00:00:34.180 All it takes is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:44.280 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:47.660 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:52.820 The simultaneous sip. Go.
00:00:54.940 So, better every time.
00:01:01.420 Just when you think, I know you're probably thinking to yourself, it can't possibly be better every time.
00:01:09.560 And then you do the sip and you think, it is. Every time. It gets better.
00:01:16.600 Let's talk about all the fun stuff in the news.
00:01:18.880 Anyways, I'm coming up with a term, which let's see if I can get this to catch on.
00:01:27.360 I call it the Bernie bomb. Bomb, B-O-M-B, as in things that explode.
00:01:33.800 And the Bernie bomb works like this.
00:01:35.660 And I'm sure you've noticed, and it turns out that CNN has now noticed, because they did a piece on it,
00:01:43.080 that Republicans, and President Trump in particular, and Trump supporters in particular,
00:01:49.560 seem to be very pro-Bernie Sanders.
00:01:54.160 Suspiciously pro-Bernie.
00:01:55.480 They seem to say nice things about Bernie's supporters and about his fight and his consistency.
00:02:05.580 And gosh, it's so unfair when Bernie gets robbed of the nomination.
00:02:10.420 It would sure be a shame if it happened again.
00:02:13.200 Sure would be.
00:02:13.980 Now, of course, CNN, John Avalon, did a little piece, I was just watching,
00:02:19.840 in which it seems that they have figured out that Bernie would be the worst matchup.
00:02:26.580 Because socialism is just a terrible matchup for Trump during a strong economy.
00:02:33.620 If the economy were weak, or even just somewhere in the middle,
00:02:38.340 well, maybe people would listen to a new message.
00:02:40.740 But when things are unambiguously working well,
00:02:45.020 people are not going to take on a big risk.
00:02:48.720 So the Bernie bomb works this way, and here's the beauty of it.
00:02:53.020 The Bernie bomb goes off no matter what.
00:02:57.240 So you can try to diffuse it, but then it'll just go off.
00:03:01.480 Or you could leave it, and then it'll just go off.
00:03:05.340 You only have two options with the Bernie bomb, and they're both explodey.
00:03:09.520 Option number one, he doesn't get the nomination,
00:03:15.180 despite having the greatest number of votes.
00:03:19.600 What happens?
00:03:21.060 The Democratic Party is blown apart.
00:03:23.600 Bernie bros defect in at least large enough numbers
00:03:26.400 that the Democrats have no chance of winning the presidency,
00:03:30.420 and it might rip apart the party with some permanent damage.
00:03:34.820 So if Bernie loses because he has the most votes,
00:03:43.200 but he doesn't get elected when it actually comes to the convention,
00:03:46.080 doesn't get appointed,
00:03:47.280 appointed, picked, what's the right word for a convention?
00:03:51.260 So that's one way.
00:03:52.360 The other way is if, let's say,
00:03:54.520 Bloomberg just beats him fair and square.
00:03:56.540 If Bloomberg beats him fair and square,
00:04:00.360 meaning that he debates well, he buys a lot of ads,
00:04:03.600 and he just gets more votes,
00:04:05.340 and then Bloomberg gets the nomination,
00:04:07.660 what happens?
00:04:09.480 The Bernie bomb blows up.
00:04:12.360 Because it will be clear even to Democrats
00:04:14.920 that Bloomberg literally bought the election.
00:04:17.920 What is more opposite of Bernie than buying an election?
00:04:22.320 Nothing.
00:04:22.880 So if Bloomberg wins fair and square,
00:04:28.380 or if he gets the nod in some kind of a brokered convention situation,
00:04:33.960 the Bernie bomb blows up.
00:04:36.260 But what if Bernie gets the nomination?
00:04:39.280 Then he runs in the general election,
00:04:41.440 gets destroyed by Trump,
00:04:44.440 and half of the Democrats,
00:04:47.780 at least the parts that are pro-democratic socialist,
00:04:51.220 their entire thing gets discredited
00:04:54.460 as something they can't win.
00:04:56.420 And suddenly,
00:04:58.140 the Democrats blow up.
00:04:59.940 So there are three ways that
00:05:01.360 the Bernie bomb can blow up,
00:05:03.600 and there's no way to defuse it.
00:05:05.660 It's already too late.
00:05:07.520 It's an undiffusable bomb.
00:05:10.840 So,
00:05:11.500 I've never seen President Trump
00:05:13.700 in a stronger position to win re-election
00:05:16.100 than right this moment.
00:05:18.440 Now, you assume that things are going to change, right?
00:05:20.460 There's just so many months
00:05:22.100 between now and Election Day.
00:05:23.700 We'll have surprises and things,
00:05:25.880 you know,
00:05:26.100 all kinds of stuff is going to happen.
00:05:27.820 So you can't say anything about the moment.
00:05:30.940 But at this very moment,
00:05:32.660 if nothing changed,
00:05:34.520 the President's in the strongest position
00:05:37.220 we've ever seen.
00:05:39.700 Now, interestingly,
00:05:41.260 according to a Zogby national poll,
00:05:43.460 and I don't really know
00:05:44.840 which polls are credible
00:05:46.240 and which ones are not,
00:05:47.340 so help me out on that.
00:05:49.140 But a Zogby poll put Bloomberg
00:05:50.620 at number two nationally.
00:05:54.660 So among the Democrats,
00:05:57.000 Bloomberg has already bought his way
00:05:59.960 to the second spot behind Bernie.
00:06:03.660 Now, think about that.
00:06:04.940 What does that tell you
00:06:06.000 about the nature of reality?
00:06:08.140 So the people who went from
00:06:11.240 not supporting Bloomberg
00:06:13.320 to supporting him,
00:06:14.800 and apparently millions of people
00:06:16.680 have made that journey,
00:06:18.220 and fairly quickly.
00:06:19.960 What has Bloomberg done
00:06:21.920 to earn their votes?
00:06:24.360 Was it because they learned
00:06:25.580 about his policies?
00:06:27.520 No, that didn't happen.
00:06:29.220 I'll bet there's almost nobody
00:06:30.320 who knows what Bloomberg's policies are.
00:06:32.460 I pay attention to the news.
00:06:34.980 I couldn't tell you
00:06:35.700 what his policies are.
00:06:36.780 I mean, in a general,
00:06:38.280 I know he's a sort of
00:06:39.860 a centrist Democrat,
00:06:41.680 so I can take some guesses.
00:06:43.240 But I don't really know.
00:06:44.620 I don't really know
00:06:45.240 what Bloomberg wants to do.
00:06:47.560 And I pay attention.
00:06:50.000 Is it because people saw him debating
00:06:53.300 and he did such a good job?
00:06:54.840 No, no, he hasn't debated yet.
00:06:57.420 So what it tells us
00:06:58.680 is that brainwashing works.
00:07:00.540 Somebody in the comments
00:07:01.460 says advertising works.
00:07:02.840 I'm not sure it's advertising
00:07:05.180 when you do it at this scale.
00:07:07.680 I would say that advertising
00:07:09.300 is telling people
00:07:11.200 that your product exists
00:07:12.620 and here are some good things
00:07:14.220 about it compared to the competition.
00:07:16.540 That would be advertising.
00:07:18.160 Simply making somebody
00:07:19.300 aware of your product
00:07:20.540 and maybe put it top of mind
00:07:22.980 and maybe give it a good feel to it.
00:07:25.320 I would say that's properly,
00:07:26.780 you could call that just advertising.
00:07:28.960 But when somebody with $70 billion
00:07:31.440 or whatever it is,
00:07:32.900 decides to spend as much as it takes
00:07:34.980 to change people's minds,
00:07:37.400 it's not really advertising anymore.
00:07:40.680 Because first of all,
00:07:42.440 it's not about giving you information
00:07:43.960 that's useful and accurate
00:07:45.780 and compares you to the alternatives.
00:07:48.340 It's mostly lies.
00:07:50.080 Mostly lies.
00:07:51.440 I mean, that's what campaigns are.
00:07:53.500 Campaigns are mostly lies.
00:07:55.460 Lies of omission,
00:07:56.620 lies of context,
00:07:57.680 that sort of thing.
00:07:58.180 But mostly lies.
00:07:59.780 It doesn't matter who it is.
00:08:00.840 That's what it is.
00:08:01.800 So he actually bought
00:08:03.300 enough brainwashing
00:08:05.520 to make him number two
00:08:06.760 in the Democratic Party.
00:08:09.180 Now, if you're a Democrat,
00:08:11.460 how does that feel?
00:08:13.700 How does the party
00:08:14.920 that doesn't like income inequality
00:08:17.900 feel about the guy
00:08:19.700 who's one of the richest people
00:08:21.100 buying the election,
00:08:23.240 or at least buying the nomination,
00:08:25.420 in their party?
00:08:26.220 Now, if he'd bought the nomination
00:08:28.660 as a Republican,
00:08:30.640 I think Democrats would say,
00:08:31.940 well, see,
00:08:33.020 this is exactly
00:08:34.140 what we've been talking about.
00:08:35.720 We have a target now.
00:08:37.360 You know, our target 1.00
00:08:38.140 is that damn Republican 1.00
00:08:39.940 who bought the election, 1.00
00:08:41.960 or at least bought the nomination.
00:08:44.800 Then they'd have a real clear,
00:08:47.240 you know,
00:08:48.160 a very unambiguous,
00:08:50.000 on-message, on-brand,
00:08:52.160 hey, these Republicans,
00:08:53.660 they use their money
00:08:54.580 to buy the election.
00:08:56.500 We must stop them
00:08:57.440 with our grassroots movement.
00:09:00.420 But what if it's their party
00:09:01.540 who buys the election,
00:09:03.100 right in front of the world?
00:09:05.540 The one thing
00:09:06.280 I actually appreciate
00:09:07.380 about Bloomberg
00:09:08.140 is that he's not hiding it.
00:09:11.000 He's actually just
00:09:11.920 buying the election
00:09:13.020 right in front of us.
00:09:15.260 And there's no,
00:09:16.860 there's nothing hidden about it,
00:09:18.200 which actually, weirdly,
00:09:19.260 is the only thing
00:09:20.980 that's making it okay.
00:09:22.800 If Bloomberg was hiding
00:09:24.460 any of this,
00:09:26.180 we'd all be,
00:09:26.960 oh, wait a minute,
00:09:28.200 this looks like a coup,
00:09:30.040 because he's stealthily
00:09:31.540 trying to buy the election.
00:09:33.620 But because he's doing it
00:09:35.000 right in front of us,
00:09:36.840 hiding absolutely nothing,
00:09:38.860 we have a slightly
00:09:40.240 different opinion about it
00:09:41.280 because it's so honest.
00:09:43.280 And we're looking at it
00:09:43.960 and saying,
00:09:44.140 that doesn't feel right,
00:09:47.660 but he's not violating
00:09:48.820 any laws,
00:09:50.100 and he's sort of
00:09:51.080 on our side
00:09:52.060 if you're,
00:09:53.200 you know,
00:09:54.180 if you're some types
00:09:55.320 of Democrats.
00:09:56.380 So it's the worst thing
00:09:57.880 you've ever seen
00:09:58.500 in your life,
00:10:00.120 a billionaire
00:10:00.680 buying an election,
00:10:02.140 maybe the worst thing
00:10:03.040 you've ever seen
00:10:03.740 in the United States.
00:10:05.360 And still,
00:10:06.360 we're all watching
00:10:07.380 the worst thing
00:10:08.120 we've ever seen,
00:10:09.080 but because Bloomberg's
00:10:10.120 doing it somewhat honestly.
00:10:12.580 I mean,
00:10:13.220 you have to appreciate
00:10:14.280 that, right?
00:10:14.980 It's completely honest.
00:10:16.140 I'm going to buy this thing.
00:10:17.520 It's for sale.
00:10:18.300 I'm going to buy it.
00:10:20.500 That's the only reason
00:10:21.480 it's allowed,
00:10:22.060 is that he's doing it
00:10:22.800 transparently.
00:10:23.600 I have to appreciate
00:10:24.240 that, actually.
00:10:26.980 There's a story about,
00:10:28.040 I guess Bloomberg
00:10:29.300 had funded,
00:10:30.280 this is separate
00:10:31.060 from the election,
00:10:32.380 has nothing to do
00:10:33.080 with the election,
00:10:33.980 but it ties in
00:10:34.820 conceptually.
00:10:36.660 Apparently he was
00:10:37.440 funding attorneys
00:10:39.200 to handle
00:10:40.900 climate change
00:10:42.040 change cases
00:10:43.340 in different
00:10:44.000 attorney general's offices.
00:10:45.460 In other words,
00:10:46.720 Bloomberg was paying
00:10:47.800 the salary
00:10:48.440 of people
00:10:49.760 who could
00:10:50.160 optionally be
00:10:51.260 brought in
00:10:52.420 by these
00:10:52.860 attorney generals.
00:10:53.660 They all had the option,
00:10:54.900 but they had to
00:10:55.640 choose the option.
00:10:57.120 And then he would
00:10:57.680 pay their salary
00:10:58.360 and they would have
00:10:59.040 a new employee
00:10:59.740 who would just work
00:11:00.540 on climate-related
00:11:02.120 stuff.
00:11:03.880 And I thought to myself,
00:11:05.020 that is literally
00:11:06.840 an example
00:11:07.800 of a billionaire
00:11:09.140 buying government.
00:11:12.380 Because the
00:11:12.920 attorney general
00:11:13.480 is not technically
00:11:14.800 government,
00:11:15.520 but it's sort of.
00:11:17.420 Yeah, let's just
00:11:18.260 call it government.
00:11:19.140 It's close enough.
00:11:20.320 Even if the
00:11:21.020 attorney general
00:11:21.540 is not elected,
00:11:22.700 it's close enough.
00:11:24.840 Or are they?
00:11:25.660 Attorney generals
00:11:26.320 in the states
00:11:26.800 are all elected, right?
00:11:29.800 But the point is
00:11:30.940 that Bloomberg
00:11:32.760 is literally
00:11:33.460 buying democracy,
00:11:34.880 but he's doing it
00:11:35.380 in front of us.
00:11:36.760 Now, here's
00:11:37.340 a question for you.
00:11:38.340 Who do you think
00:11:40.120 would be the perfect
00:11:40.960 Bloomberg
00:11:41.600 vice president pick?
00:11:44.740 I know.
00:11:45.900 I know what you're thinking.
00:11:47.560 You're already
00:11:48.020 thinking ahead.
00:11:50.000 Well,
00:11:50.820 so here's the trick.
00:11:52.060 If you're
00:11:52.420 picking a vice president,
00:11:53.920 you want to pick
00:11:54.420 somebody
00:11:54.860 who
00:11:56.200 compliments
00:11:57.520 you
00:11:58.560 and
00:11:59.080 fixes
00:12:00.380 some gaps
00:12:01.260 that you
00:12:01.600 have
00:12:01.880 in your
00:12:02.160 brand.
00:12:03.200 So if you
00:12:03.500 have some
00:12:03.780 holes that
00:12:04.400 need to be
00:12:04.840 plugged,
00:12:06.200 sometimes your
00:12:06.840 vice president
00:12:07.360 could do that.
00:12:08.000 For example,
00:12:08.920 let's say you
00:12:09.640 needed more
00:12:10.560 support from
00:12:11.280 a certain
00:12:11.600 part of the
00:12:12.060 country.
00:12:12.980 You might
00:12:13.340 pick a
00:12:13.640 vice president
00:12:14.180 who represents
00:12:15.060 or is popular
00:12:15.820 in that part
00:12:16.320 of the country
00:12:16.760 to try to
00:12:17.440 get those
00:12:17.780 votes.
00:12:18.560 In the case
00:12:19.180 of Bloomberg,
00:12:20.280 he's way
00:12:21.880 too old,
00:12:22.920 so that's
00:12:23.640 one of his
00:12:24.020 problems,
00:12:24.720 so he would
00:12:25.240 need somebody
00:12:25.640 younger,
00:12:26.720 right?
00:12:27.980 He's,
00:12:28.680 the biggest
00:12:29.180 complaints about
00:12:30.000 him,
00:12:30.380 and the
00:12:30.860 things that
00:12:31.300 are starting
00:12:31.740 to define
00:12:32.380 him are
00:12:33.560 coming from
00:12:34.100 the critics.
00:12:35.220 So there's
00:12:35.720 only so much
00:12:36.320 Bloomberg can
00:12:37.040 do to
00:12:37.400 define
00:12:37.800 himself.
00:12:38.780 The other
00:12:39.260 part of the
00:12:39.700 job of
00:12:40.140 defining him
00:12:40.720 is what
00:12:41.060 his enemies
00:12:41.600 are going
00:12:41.940 to say.
00:12:42.880 And his
00:12:43.120 enemies have
00:12:43.660 decided that
00:12:44.320 their attack
00:12:45.240 is going to
00:12:45.640 be on race
00:12:46.960 and misogyny
00:12:47.940 and his
00:12:48.520 past comments.
00:12:50.280 Somebody
00:12:50.540 asked me
00:12:51.040 on,
00:12:52.900 well,
00:12:53.180 somebody sent
00:12:53.560 me a message
00:12:54.000 yesterday
00:12:54.400 saying,
00:12:55.200 why don't
00:12:55.820 I apply
00:12:56.440 the 20
00:12:57.100 year rule
00:12:57.780 to Bloomberg
00:12:59.920 and say,
00:13:00.540 well,
00:13:00.860 if he did
00:13:01.440 these things
00:13:01.880 20 years
00:13:02.460 ago,
00:13:02.800 we should
00:13:03.080 just not
00:13:03.500 count them.
00:13:04.760 And
00:13:05.020 internally,
00:13:06.680 I do.
00:13:08.000 But let me
00:13:08.700 say it
00:13:09.040 externally,
00:13:10.360 I don't
00:13:11.240 really care
00:13:11.700 what he did
00:13:12.100 more than
00:13:12.660 20 years
00:13:13.100 ago.
00:13:14.120 If he did
00:13:14.780 something last
00:13:15.460 year,
00:13:16.480 let's put
00:13:17.140 that in the
00:13:17.580 mix.
00:13:18.500 But if he
00:13:18.800 did something
00:13:19.300 20 years
00:13:19.900 ago,
00:13:20.720 and it
00:13:20.900 was not
00:13:21.280 only,
00:13:21.940 well,
00:13:22.460 I don't
00:13:23.000 care,
00:13:23.400 I'm not
00:13:23.660 even going
00:13:23.960 to make
00:13:24.120 the argument
00:13:24.600 that times
00:13:25.780 were different.
00:13:26.680 I think
00:13:27.000 that's a
00:13:27.340 weak argument.
00:13:28.500 I'm going
00:13:28.800 to make
00:13:29.020 the stronger
00:13:29.500 argument that
00:13:30.380 we're not
00:13:30.720 the same
00:13:31.100 people we
00:13:31.600 were 20
00:13:32.060 years ago.
00:13:33.000 So I
00:13:33.520 give Bloomberg
00:13:34.460 the same
00:13:35.020 pass I
00:13:36.280 would give
00:13:36.600 anybody.
00:13:37.080 which is
00:13:37.580 he's not
00:13:37.960 the guy
00:13:38.260 he was
00:13:38.600 20 years
00:13:39.080 ago.
00:13:39.420 But still,
00:13:40.960 his critics
00:13:41.520 are going
00:13:41.920 to define
00:13:42.460 him as
00:13:42.920 being that
00:13:43.280 guy,
00:13:43.740 and especially
00:13:44.140 the stop
00:13:44.640 and frisk
00:13:45.040 stuff.
00:13:46.060 So if
00:13:46.900 he's got a
00:13:47.260 woman problem, 1.00
00:13:48.300 he's got a
00:13:48.720 race problem,
00:13:49.840 who fixes
00:13:50.640 that?
00:13:51.520 Who is
00:13:51.920 young?
00:13:53.200 Bam.
00:13:54.820 Kamala Harris.
00:13:56.140 Now, yeah,
00:13:56.960 everybody knew
00:13:57.480 where I was
00:13:57.800 going with
00:13:58.160 that.
00:13:58.860 Now, here's
00:13:59.820 an interesting
00:14:00.300 factoid that
00:14:01.100 I just learned.
00:14:02.520 I don't know
00:14:03.080 if this has
00:14:03.560 changed, but
00:14:04.240 when Harris
00:14:05.080 was still in
00:14:05.660 the race,
00:14:06.100 she was
00:14:07.740 the third
00:14:08.900 best in
00:14:10.040 getting
00:14:10.260 support from
00:14:10.980 African
00:14:11.340 Americans,
00:14:12.220 which I
00:14:13.500 didn't know.
00:14:13.980 So number
00:14:14.440 one and
00:14:14.840 two were
00:14:15.500 Bernie and
00:14:16.840 Biden, and
00:14:18.240 then the
00:14:19.280 third best
00:14:19.980 was Kamala
00:14:22.240 Harris.
00:14:22.540 now, assuming
00:14:24.980 Biden isn't
00:14:26.380 going to
00:14:26.580 make it, that
00:14:28.280 would make
00:14:28.860 the number
00:14:30.160 one and
00:14:30.620 two, maybe
00:14:32.540 Kamala and
00:14:35.420 maybe Bernie.
00:14:37.260 But if
00:14:37.860 Bernie doesn't
00:14:38.500 make it, what
00:14:40.020 can Bloomberg
00:14:41.020 do that would
00:14:41.940 get him the
00:14:42.420 most automatic 0.77
00:14:43.400 black support?
00:14:44.980 And this is
00:14:45.540 important, too.
00:14:46.200 He's got that
00:14:46.720 stop and frisk
00:14:47.600 thing.
00:14:47.940 having somebody
00:14:49.580 who has
00:14:51.240 Kamala Harris'
00:14:52.060 background in
00:14:52.800 law enforcement,
00:14:54.340 maybe that
00:14:55.680 helps a little
00:14:56.200 bit.
00:14:57.020 I don't know.
00:14:57.660 Maybe it
00:14:58.000 hurts.
00:14:58.580 I'm not sure
00:14:59.040 about that.
00:15:00.420 But anyway,
00:15:01.420 now, here's
00:15:03.720 another thing.
00:15:05.760 If somebody
00:15:07.120 was 78
00:15:07.860 years old,
00:15:09.440 I think that's
00:15:10.060 Bloomberg's age,
00:15:10.760 right?
00:15:11.260 So you should
00:15:12.260 assume if he
00:15:13.180 won and he
00:15:14.100 served, he
00:15:14.760 would be,
00:15:15.020 what, 82?
00:15:17.740 82 in the
00:15:18.580 final year?
00:15:19.780 And not
00:15:20.420 really, you
00:15:21.540 wouldn't really
00:15:22.000 run for
00:15:22.420 re-election, so
00:15:23.380 he'd have to
00:15:23.900 be running for
00:15:24.480 one term.
00:15:25.940 But would he
00:15:26.480 even make it
00:15:27.000 one term?
00:15:28.580 Do you think
00:15:29.360 that Mike
00:15:30.100 Bloomberg might
00:15:30.800 plan to
00:15:32.500 run two
00:15:33.680 years and
00:15:34.340 then turn it
00:15:34.900 over to his
00:15:35.420 vice president?
00:15:36.900 Because do you
00:15:37.680 think that Mike
00:15:38.340 Bloomberg thinks
00:15:39.320 we should have
00:15:40.120 an 80-year-old
00:15:40.960 president?
00:15:43.740 I'm not going
00:15:44.460 to read his
00:15:44.900 mind, but
00:15:46.560 I'm just
00:15:46.880 going to say
00:15:47.280 that Bloomberg
00:15:47.940 does seem to
00:15:50.060 be a rational
00:15:50.900 guy, right?
00:15:52.640 Say what you
00:15:53.360 like about what
00:15:54.120 he's done right
00:15:54.860 or done wrong.
00:15:55.760 You know, I'm
00:15:56.080 not going to
00:15:56.380 get into the
00:15:56.820 policies, but
00:15:58.400 I would say,
00:15:59.860 and you see
00:16:00.440 this in his
00:16:01.000 switching from
00:16:02.280 Republican to
00:16:03.360 Democrat, he's
00:16:04.900 sort of a
00:16:05.660 technocrat,
00:16:06.880 meaning he
00:16:07.780 cares about
00:16:08.480 what works
00:16:09.260 more than he
00:16:10.580 cares about
00:16:11.180 party affiliation
00:16:12.880 or anything
00:16:13.480 like that.
00:16:14.720 So I had
00:16:15.600 some point I
00:16:16.180 was going to
00:16:16.480 make there,
00:16:16.900 but I lost
00:16:17.340 it, so talk
00:16:18.300 about something
00:16:18.700 else.
00:16:20.360 I found a
00:16:21.120 really rough
00:16:22.600 week.
00:16:23.180 I wake up at
00:16:24.080 night in
00:16:24.920 screaming pain
00:16:25.840 every night.
00:16:26.680 I mean, just
00:16:27.160 horrible abdominal 0.92
00:16:29.320 pain, and I
00:16:30.940 don't know what
00:16:31.300 that's about yet.
00:16:32.160 So pardon me,
00:16:33.560 I'm not doing a
00:16:34.460 lot of sleeping
00:16:35.020 and I'm heavily
00:16:36.780 medicated right
00:16:37.520 now.
00:16:37.780 Jeff Bezos
00:16:41.400 put up $10
00:16:42.020 billion to
00:16:42.720 fight climate
00:16:43.220 change.
00:16:44.480 So I put
00:16:45.600 this math
00:16:46.120 quiz on
00:16:47.060 Twitter.
00:16:49.100 See if you
00:16:49.840 can answer
00:16:50.160 the question.
00:16:51.340 Jeff Bezos
00:16:51.880 pledged $10
00:16:52.500 billion of his
00:16:53.080 own money to
00:16:53.640 address climate
00:16:54.300 change.
00:16:55.180 How much
00:16:55.740 money would
00:16:56.320 Bezos have
00:16:57.240 pledged if
00:16:58.040 Bernie had
00:16:58.660 eliminated income
00:16:59.940 inequality?
00:17:01.920 Now, of
00:17:02.380 course, there's
00:17:03.080 no specific
00:17:04.200 answer to that.
00:17:04.920 It's just fun
00:17:05.740 to think
00:17:06.060 about.
00:17:07.100 But what
00:17:08.280 would the
00:17:08.680 world look
00:17:09.120 like under
00:17:09.980 a Bernie
00:17:10.560 perfect world
00:17:12.020 where you
00:17:12.360 don't have
00:17:12.760 income
00:17:13.300 inequality?
00:17:14.400 Well, you
00:17:14.700 wouldn't have
00:17:15.060 a Jeff Bezos,
00:17:16.220 so you
00:17:16.560 wouldn't have
00:17:16.920 somebody giving
00:17:17.660 $10 billion
00:17:18.400 to fight
00:17:19.460 climate change.
00:17:20.640 So I asked
00:17:21.500 this question,
00:17:22.480 and I thought
00:17:22.960 to myself when
00:17:23.640 I posted it,
00:17:24.840 I sure hope
00:17:25.380 no economists
00:17:26.000 answer this,
00:17:27.020 because then
00:17:28.420 it's going to
00:17:28.780 get complicated.
00:17:30.220 It took
00:17:30.760 about 10
00:17:31.280 seconds for
00:17:32.240 an economist
00:17:33.560 to answer it.
00:17:34.320 Joshua Gans,
00:17:36.940 an economist,
00:17:38.400 I'm familiar
00:17:39.120 with him,
00:17:40.100 we've
00:17:40.400 communicated
00:17:40.900 over the
00:17:41.380 years,
00:17:41.720 over Twitter
00:17:42.600 and email,
00:17:43.880 and he
00:17:44.760 weighs in,
00:17:45.720 he says,
00:17:46.740 it would
00:17:47.000 be effectively
00:17:47.580 the same
00:17:48.360 as the
00:17:48.960 government
00:17:49.280 would have
00:17:50.780 that $10
00:17:51.240 billion.
00:17:51.600 In other
00:17:51.880 words,
00:17:52.920 if Bernie
00:17:53.500 were president,
00:17:54.320 he would tax
00:17:54.900 away all that
00:17:55.460 money,
00:17:55.820 the government
00:17:56.260 would have
00:17:56.640 it,
00:17:57.120 and then the
00:17:57.520 government
00:17:57.780 could spend
00:17:58.340 it for
00:17:58.780 climate change.
00:18:00.500 So I'm
00:18:01.020 thinking, 0.99
00:18:01.440 damn it, 0.99
00:18:02.380 my clever 1.00
00:18:02.920 little tweet,
00:18:03.740 which wasn't
00:18:04.240 meant to
00:18:04.620 be too
00:18:05.740 rigorously
00:18:06.420 mathematical,
00:18:07.840 has already
00:18:08.600 been debunked
00:18:09.300 by an
00:18:09.920 actual working
00:18:10.640 economist.
00:18:12.000 But I'm
00:18:12.660 not done
00:18:12.980 yet.
00:18:13.920 No,
00:18:14.420 no,
00:18:14.700 no.
00:18:15.300 Just because
00:18:16.200 Joshua is
00:18:17.480 smart and
00:18:18.120 never engages
00:18:18.740 in loser 0.91
00:18:19.380 think does
00:18:20.380 not mean I
00:18:21.020 agree with
00:18:21.540 him in all
00:18:22.000 cases.
00:18:24.700 So here's
00:18:25.780 my response.
00:18:27.220 I said
00:18:27.500 partial credit
00:18:28.140 for a
00:18:28.540 correct short-term
00:18:29.180 answer.
00:18:29.500 the correct
00:18:30.260 long-term
00:18:30.800 answer is
00:18:31.960 that no
00:18:32.260 one would
00:18:32.580 have any
00:18:32.980 money.
00:18:34.180 Because
00:18:34.620 income
00:18:35.120 equality
00:18:35.680 would,
00:18:36.800 by definition,
00:18:38.900 eliminate all 0.96
00:18:40.440 personal
00:18:40.900 incentives to
00:18:41.820 work hard,
00:18:42.500 start
00:18:42.700 businesses,
00:18:44.000 get promoted,
00:18:44.740 any of that.
00:18:45.480 There just
00:18:45.760 wouldn't be
00:18:46.040 any point to
00:18:46.560 any of it.
00:18:47.560 So eventually
00:18:48.260 nobody would
00:18:48.820 have any
00:18:49.200 money.
00:18:49.560 So the
00:18:49.800 government
00:18:50.120 wouldn't have
00:18:50.660 it.
00:18:51.200 Jeff Bezos
00:18:51.720 wouldn't have
00:18:52.240 it.
00:18:52.960 So the answer
00:18:53.880 is zero,
00:18:54.500 because we
00:18:54.820 would all be
00:18:55.340 a poor
00:18:56.360 agrarian
00:18:57.000 society.
00:18:57.660 But here's
00:18:58.100 the good
00:18:58.360 news.
00:18:59.080 Once the
00:18:59.560 economy of
00:19:00.060 the world
00:19:00.320 is destroyed,
00:19:01.960 not much
00:19:02.800 CO2.
00:19:04.120 So it
00:19:04.760 works out,
00:19:05.220 I guess.
00:19:06.800 And then
00:19:07.600 Joshua came
00:19:08.620 back with
00:19:09.160 a criticism
00:19:11.560 of mine,
00:19:12.740 thinking that
00:19:13.380 I change
00:19:13.840 the game,
00:19:15.100 move the
00:19:15.480 goalposts.
00:19:16.460 Well, I
00:19:17.660 didn't do
00:19:18.100 that intentionally,
00:19:18.920 but my
00:19:19.580 point is
00:19:20.100 that economists
00:19:22.200 tend to
00:19:23.880 debate each
00:19:24.420 other and
00:19:25.400 understand what
00:19:26.220 the other
00:19:26.520 said.
00:19:27.920 So when
00:19:29.480 I made
00:19:30.020 my case,
00:19:31.720 Joshua
00:19:32.200 Gans
00:19:33.420 made a
00:19:34.120 perfectly
00:19:34.480 rational
00:19:35.100 response to
00:19:36.960 it.
00:19:37.800 I made a
00:19:38.320 response to
00:19:38.900 it that I
00:19:39.280 think he
00:19:39.580 also understands.
00:19:40.660 He made a
00:19:41.060 response that I
00:19:41.700 understand.
00:19:42.460 If he and
00:19:43.000 I debated a
00:19:44.400 few more
00:19:44.760 rounds, I
00:19:46.560 think we
00:19:46.920 would get to
00:19:47.300 some point
00:19:47.720 where we
00:19:48.160 realize we
00:19:48.680 all agree.
00:19:50.800 And that
00:19:51.240 would probably
00:19:51.580 be the
00:19:51.940 end of it.
00:19:53.000 So that
00:19:54.880 is the
00:19:55.120 opposite of 1.00
00:19:55.560 loser 0.97
00:19:55.800 think. 1.00
00:19:56.160 Bernie has
00:20:00.960 a commercial
00:20:01.500 that he's
00:20:03.920 playing now
00:20:04.500 in which he's
00:20:05.200 claiming in
00:20:05.860 his commercial,
00:20:06.520 this is like
00:20:06.980 the feature
00:20:08.300 point of the
00:20:09.080 commercial,
00:20:10.140 is that he's
00:20:10.940 potentially the
00:20:11.820 quote,
00:20:12.220 first Jewish
00:20:12.880 American
00:20:13.320 president.
00:20:15.440 And in this
00:20:16.280 commercial,
00:20:16.940 he evokes,
00:20:18.000 and I assume
00:20:18.640 this is,
00:20:19.240 I think this is
00:20:19.920 an approved
00:20:20.520 Bernie ad,
00:20:21.380 he evokes
00:20:22.720 the fine
00:20:23.340 people hoax.
00:20:25.040 Again,
00:20:25.900 the fine
00:20:26.360 people hoax,
00:20:26.980 the most
00:20:27.320 debunked
00:20:28.660 hoax in
00:20:29.420 American
00:20:29.780 politics.
00:20:31.080 The belief
00:20:32.440 that President
00:20:33.120 Trump called
00:20:33.720 the neo-Nazis
00:20:34.500 fine people,
00:20:35.700 easily debunked,
00:20:36.780 you just have
00:20:37.200 to look at the
00:20:37.780 transcript,
00:20:38.720 look at the
00:20:39.220 full video,
00:20:40.500 and realize that
00:20:41.280 the part people
00:20:41.900 see is an
00:20:42.880 edited out of
00:20:43.620 context thing.
00:20:44.400 Is that
00:20:46.660 possible?
00:20:47.200 Can you edit
00:20:47.780 things and take
00:20:48.540 them out of
00:20:48.920 context and
00:20:49.580 turn something
00:20:50.140 into nothing?
00:20:51.340 Well,
00:20:51.640 let's ask,
00:20:52.660 let's ask
00:20:54.040 Bloomberg,
00:20:55.120 because Bloomberg
00:20:57.100 recently had a
00:20:59.000 piece of video
00:21:00.060 taken out of
00:21:00.700 context in
00:21:01.400 which he
00:21:01.800 said,
00:21:03.280 in which he
00:21:04.300 said,
00:21:05.960 which he
00:21:07.700 said,
00:21:08.320 I wish I,
00:21:09.380 oh, he once
00:21:09.860 claimed during a
00:21:10.620 television appearance,
00:21:11.520 this is Bloomberg,
00:21:12.700 so here's his
00:21:13.980 quote,
00:21:14.400 take it out of
00:21:14.980 context.
00:21:15.820 So you see how
00:21:16.420 easily this can
00:21:17.060 be done by
00:21:17.580 getting rid of
00:21:18.240 the stuff
00:21:19.040 surrounding it.
00:21:20.180 He said that
00:21:20.780 there's,
00:21:21.300 quote,
00:21:21.440 an enormous
00:21:22.100 cohort of
00:21:23.120 young black 0.74
00:21:23.680 and Latino
00:21:24.260 males who,
00:21:26.080 quote, 0.98
00:21:26.140 don't know how
00:21:26.880 to behave in
00:21:27.540 the workplace.
00:21:29.000 Oh my God.
00:21:30.760 Is that the
00:21:31.560 most racist
00:21:32.080 thing you've
00:21:32.560 ever heard in
00:21:33.100 your life?
00:21:34.160 Oh my God.
00:21:35.980 Except that
00:21:36.640 the context
00:21:37.460 was apparently
00:21:38.960 he was funding
00:21:40.000 some program
00:21:40.920 directly to
00:21:43.460 help people,
00:21:44.060 solve this
00:21:45.220 problem.
00:21:46.640 Doesn't that
00:21:47.240 change it
00:21:47.620 completely?
00:21:48.600 If all he's
00:21:49.420 saying is,
00:21:49.980 hey, it
00:21:50.200 looks like
00:21:50.600 there's some
00:21:51.560 identifiable
00:21:52.220 group of
00:21:52.720 people who,
00:21:53.380 quote,
00:21:53.480 don't know how
00:21:53.980 to behave in
00:21:54.480 the workplace,
00:21:55.480 that's horrible.
00:21:56.500 But if you
00:21:57.920 know the context
00:21:58.620 is he's just
00:21:59.380 funded some
00:22:00.020 massive program
00:22:00.920 to help
00:22:01.960 people understand
00:22:02.880 how to
00:22:03.240 integrate into
00:22:03.820 the workplace,
00:22:04.280 then you
00:22:05.280 say, oh,
00:22:06.520 actually, that's
00:22:07.080 kind of good.
00:22:08.320 Right?
00:22:08.540 It just
00:22:08.840 completely
00:22:09.220 reverses it.
00:22:10.860 So you can
00:22:11.920 see this all
00:22:12.400 the time.
00:22:12.940 It's happened,
00:22:13.500 I don't know,
00:22:13.960 maybe it's
00:22:14.580 happened four or
00:22:15.360 five times with
00:22:16.060 Bloomberg alone,
00:22:16.920 where his stuff
00:22:18.180 taken in a
00:22:18.720 context reverses
00:22:19.680 it, and it
00:22:20.560 happened with the
00:22:21.120 fine people
00:22:21.600 hoax.
00:22:21.940 because what
00:22:23.400 the president
00:22:23.820 actually said
00:22:24.380 was the
00:22:25.400 neo-Nazis
00:22:26.180 should be 1.00
00:22:26.560 condemned
00:22:26.960 totally.
00:22:27.900 He said that
00:22:28.320 directly, and
00:22:29.380 it was still
00:22:29.780 taken in a
00:22:30.320 context, they
00:22:30.960 leave that
00:22:31.340 part out,
00:22:32.420 blah, blah.
00:22:33.420 So here's
00:22:34.680 the point.
00:22:35.260 Bernie's got
00:22:35.700 this commercial
00:22:36.240 in which he's
00:22:37.040 making it a
00:22:39.080 point of his
00:22:40.960 ethnicity.
00:22:43.780 Now, how
00:22:45.200 many times
00:22:45.700 have I told
00:22:46.180 you the
00:22:46.580 thing that
00:22:47.040 Barack Obama
00:22:47.780 did right
00:22:48.560 was not
00:22:50.180 running to be
00:22:50.860 our first
00:22:51.340 black
00:22:51.660 president, 0.99
00:22:51.940 and that
00:22:53.300 made it
00:22:53.660 perfectly
00:22:54.100 acceptable for
00:22:54.980 everybody who 0.83
00:22:55.600 wasn't black 0.95
00:22:56.380 to say, oh 0.95
00:22:57.400 thank God
00:22:58.120 there's somebody
00:22:59.100 who's not
00:22:59.600 making it about
00:23:00.280 race.
00:23:01.120 Let's just
00:23:01.620 judge him on
00:23:02.420 his qualities.
00:23:03.160 Hey, he's
00:23:03.400 pretty good.
00:23:04.460 And wouldn't
00:23:04.780 we like to
00:23:05.380 get past this
00:23:06.160 and have a 0.95
00:23:06.560 black president? 0.58
00:23:07.200 Yes, we 0.98
00:23:07.600 would.
00:23:08.540 We would.
00:23:09.460 That's our
00:23:09.900 own personal
00:23:10.600 preference.
00:23:11.540 But don't
00:23:12.000 tell us what
00:23:12.660 we need.
00:23:13.960 Don't tell us
00:23:15.080 we need a 0.99
00:23:15.620 black president. 0.96
00:23:16.680 That's too 0.99
00:23:17.240 far.
00:23:18.100 Let us
00:23:18.560 decide that.
00:23:19.820 So that's
00:23:20.500 what Obama
00:23:20.940 did.
00:23:21.220 It was
00:23:21.400 brilliant.
00:23:21.720 And it
00:23:22.040 worked.
00:23:22.800 What Hillary 0.96
00:23:23.320 Clinton did,
00:23:24.080 as I said
00:23:24.480 many times,
00:23:25.080 she said a
00:23:25.740 woman would 1.00
00:23:26.240 be better for
00:23:26.820 president, at
00:23:27.760 which point a
00:23:28.460 lot of men
00:23:28.860 said, I'm
00:23:29.400 out.
00:23:30.220 I'm out.
00:23:31.720 As soon as
00:23:32.360 you say that
00:23:32.820 your gender is
00:23:33.760 superior, you're
00:23:34.880 disqualified.
00:23:37.660 Bernie is
00:23:38.260 trying to make
00:23:39.100 it an advantage
00:23:41.180 that he would be
00:23:41.960 the first Jewish
00:23:42.680 American president.
00:23:43.440 president.
00:23:44.760 So let me say the
00:23:46.040 same thing I
00:23:46.580 said with Hillary
00:23:47.300 Clinton.
00:23:48.580 I'm out.
00:23:50.020 I'm out.
00:23:50.940 As soon as he
00:23:51.660 makes it about
00:23:52.240 race or
00:23:52.760 ethnicity, it's
00:23:54.960 not part of the
00:23:55.620 American experience
00:23:56.780 for me.
00:23:58.200 As soon as
00:23:59.320 that's, he didn't
00:24:01.540 say much about it
00:24:02.400 other than he
00:24:03.000 would be.
00:24:04.260 But still, I
00:24:06.620 don't need that
00:24:07.160 from the
00:24:07.500 candidate.
00:24:08.460 I would love
00:24:09.120 to say that
00:24:09.620 about him
00:24:10.040 myself.
00:24:11.380 If you let me
00:24:12.340 decide, I'd say,
00:24:13.080 oh, that's cool.
00:24:14.400 We've got a
00:24:14.820 Jewish American
00:24:15.340 president.
00:24:15.920 I'd like to
00:24:16.360 check that
00:24:16.820 box too.
00:24:17.720 If it's up to
00:24:18.660 me, I'm happy
00:24:19.680 about it.
00:24:21.160 But I don't
00:24:21.860 want to be told
00:24:22.540 to be happy
00:24:23.160 about it.
00:24:23.780 Do you get the
00:24:24.280 difference?
00:24:25.440 That's completely
00:24:26.120 wrong.
00:24:26.960 If somebody
00:24:27.640 running for
00:24:28.100 president tells
00:24:28.700 me I should
00:24:29.360 care about his
00:24:31.180 ethnicity, I'm
00:24:32.480 out.
00:24:33.880 So that bothered
00:24:35.020 me.
00:24:35.340 But the worst
00:24:35.760 part is that the
00:24:36.500 only thing good
00:24:37.080 about Bernie,
00:24:37.800 was that he
00:24:38.320 seemed somewhat
00:24:39.800 ethical and
00:24:40.820 somewhat genuine.
00:24:42.520 But his use
00:24:43.200 of the fine
00:24:44.120 people hoax as
00:24:46.040 his primary
00:24:46.880 attack vehicle
00:24:47.920 in this ad, I
00:24:49.140 think, puts the
00:24:50.360 lie to all of
00:24:51.060 that.
00:24:51.420 So Bernie is
00:24:52.000 now, he's
00:24:53.980 gone full
00:24:55.040 racist and 1.00
00:24:55.900 full liar. 1.00
00:24:57.560 So everything 0.98
00:24:58.460 that you liked
00:24:59.180 about Bernie
00:24:59.820 is that, well,
00:25:00.540 at least he's
00:25:01.140 consistent.
00:25:02.660 He doesn't
00:25:03.060 get into that
00:25:04.340 identity politics
00:25:05.900 stuff too much
00:25:06.780 compared to the
00:25:07.440 other ones.
00:25:08.560 And he at
00:25:09.060 least is
00:25:09.500 playing it
00:25:09.960 straight.
00:25:10.420 He doesn't
00:25:10.700 seem to be
00:25:11.120 lying.
00:25:12.660 And now that's
00:25:13.540 all changed.
00:25:14.960 Yeah.
00:25:15.280 Somebody says he's
00:25:16.000 always lied, but in
00:25:16.960 terms of
00:25:17.320 reputation, he
00:25:18.760 had a cleaner
00:25:19.440 reputation, I
00:25:20.300 think, than
00:25:20.680 other people,
00:25:21.380 other politicians.
00:25:22.020 So I think
00:25:24.240 now that I'm
00:25:25.820 going to agree
00:25:26.540 with Alan
00:25:28.820 Dershowitz, who
00:25:29.720 said, I think
00:25:30.600 it was Sunday
00:25:31.600 night on Joel
00:25:32.980 Pollack's radio
00:25:33.960 program on the
00:25:35.780 Bright Bar
00:25:36.160 radio.
00:25:37.640 I think it was
00:25:39.760 Dershowitz who
00:25:40.360 said that if
00:25:40.860 Bernie Sanders
00:25:41.560 wins the
00:25:42.480 nomination,
00:25:44.280 Dershowitz, who
00:25:45.060 is a registered
00:25:45.820 Democrat, voted
00:25:47.040 for Hillary Clinton,
00:25:48.580 said it might
00:25:49.060 force him to
00:25:49.740 leave the
00:25:50.120 Democratic Party
00:25:51.040 and campaign
00:25:51.760 against him
00:25:52.420 nationwide.
00:25:54.260 And I
00:25:55.400 joined with
00:25:56.240 Dershowitz in
00:25:58.220 saying that if
00:25:59.260 Bernie gets the
00:26:00.740 nomination, I
00:26:02.400 will register
00:26:03.660 Republican, and
00:26:05.640 I'll vote for the 0.99
00:26:06.460 first time in a
00:26:07.700 while.
00:26:08.200 I voted a long
00:26:09.020 time ago, but I
00:26:09.640 haven't voted in a
00:26:10.220 long time.
00:26:10.900 And I'm not going
00:26:11.500 to be voting for
00:26:12.340 Trump.
00:26:13.800 I mean, I will
00:26:14.340 vote for Trump.
00:26:15.880 But the point of
00:26:16.920 it would be to
00:26:17.540 vote against
00:26:18.420 Bernie.
00:26:20.120 Because I
00:26:21.160 think Bernie
00:26:21.600 could legitimately
00:26:22.440 destroy the
00:26:23.180 country in a
00:26:24.600 way that a
00:26:26.220 normal politician,
00:26:27.280 even a normal
00:26:27.860 Democrat, even a
00:26:29.420 normal Democrat
00:26:30.080 wouldn't destroy
00:26:30.840 the country.
00:26:31.840 I don't think
00:26:32.400 there's a chance
00:26:33.100 that Bloomberg
00:26:34.200 would destroy the
00:26:35.480 country.
00:26:36.940 And that's the
00:26:37.440 whole reason he's
00:26:38.040 running, right?
00:26:38.600 He doesn't want to
00:26:39.280 destroy the country.
00:26:40.720 So if Bloomberg
00:26:42.760 gets the nomination,
00:26:43.940 I'm not going to
00:26:44.480 vote.
00:26:45.320 I'm not going to
00:26:46.120 vote.
00:26:46.360 because I'd
00:26:47.780 rather, I
00:26:49.200 like to keep
00:26:49.880 that at least
00:26:50.500 little crumb of
00:26:51.920 independence.
00:26:52.820 Maybe that's
00:26:53.420 already gone.
00:26:54.820 But Bernie, I
00:26:57.140 would consider a
00:26:57.980 national threat.
00:27:00.320 He would be a
00:27:01.040 national threat to
00:27:02.100 actually everything.
00:27:03.000 You could lose
00:27:03.440 everything with
00:27:04.160 Bernie.
00:27:04.940 But you're not
00:27:05.680 going to lose
00:27:06.040 everything if it's
00:27:07.300 some other
00:27:07.720 Democrat, if it's
00:27:08.660 Biden or something.
00:27:09.880 We won't do as
00:27:10.780 well.
00:27:11.080 But you're not
00:27:11.660 going to lose
00:27:12.060 everything.
00:27:15.820 So I'm anti-Bernie
00:27:17.860 to the death.
00:27:21.020 Because he crossed
00:27:22.340 the line for me.
00:27:23.180 The fine people
00:27:25.120 hoax just trips
00:27:27.540 my wire.
00:27:29.680 I mean, if you're
00:27:30.140 going to be that
00:27:30.840 bad, then you
00:27:34.580 just can't be
00:27:35.160 president.
00:27:36.200 All right.
00:27:39.060 The interesting
00:27:40.020 thing about Bernie
00:27:40.920 as a candidate
00:27:41.880 is he would be
00:27:43.080 the first
00:27:43.520 candidate who
00:27:46.160 was hated
00:27:48.240 for being
00:27:49.060 I'll try to
00:27:50.920 say this right
00:27:51.540 because it's
00:27:51.960 confusing.
00:27:52.800 He would be the
00:27:53.540 first candidate
00:27:54.280 who was ever
00:27:55.800 hated by, let's
00:27:57.080 say, racists
00:27:58.140 who just hated
00:27:59.960 him because he
00:28:00.620 was Jewish
00:28:01.060 and American.
00:28:02.240 So he'd be
00:28:03.040 hated for being 0.80
00:28:03.760 Jewish by some
00:28:04.940 portion of the
00:28:06.500 population who
00:28:07.360 are racists. 0.63
00:28:08.880 But he would
00:28:09.680 also be hated
00:28:10.520 by people who
00:28:12.860 think he's an
00:28:13.420 anti-Semite
00:28:14.260 because his
00:28:16.060 policies and
00:28:17.900 opinions about
00:28:18.700 Israel are not 1.00
00:28:20.140 where the most
00:28:21.240 pro-Israel people
00:28:22.720 would like it to
00:28:23.380 be.
00:28:23.840 So he's the only
00:28:24.740 candidate who
00:28:25.540 could be elected
00:28:26.240 who would be
00:28:28.440 hated for being 0.94
00:28:29.440 Jewish and for 0.96
00:28:31.080 being anti-Jewish.
00:28:32.000 What are the
00:28:35.020 odds of that?
00:28:36.460 Can you ever
00:28:36.940 think of a
00:28:37.340 worse candidate?
00:28:38.380 Somebody who's
00:28:38.920 hated by some
00:28:40.420 people, the
00:28:41.260 racists, for 0.89
00:28:42.320 being Jewish, but 0.94
00:28:43.500 hated by other
00:28:44.160 people for not
00:28:44.740 being Jewish
00:28:45.220 enough.
00:28:46.440 I don't see
00:28:47.420 there's any way
00:28:47.880 you can win.
00:28:49.080 Now what's
00:28:49.440 interesting about
00:28:50.060 this is if
00:28:51.160 well, I'm not
00:28:55.360 even going to
00:28:55.700 go there.
00:28:56.020 So I think
00:28:57.940 Bernie is the
00:28:59.200 weakest candidate
00:29:00.400 but not the
00:29:01.300 most fun
00:29:01.940 candidate.
00:29:02.600 The most fun
00:29:03.120 candidate by far
00:29:04.000 would be
00:29:04.340 Bloomberg because
00:29:05.920 a Bloomberg
00:29:06.480 Trump fight
00:29:08.800 would be
00:29:09.240 billionaire on
00:29:09.960 billionaire.
00:29:10.840 It would be a
00:29:11.540 fair fight.
00:29:12.700 It would be
00:29:13.540 dirty, fair and
00:29:15.200 dirty. 0.97
00:29:15.620 In other words,
00:29:16.200 within politics
00:29:16.940 you expect a
00:29:17.700 little bit of
00:29:18.100 dirt, so
00:29:18.620 somehow that
00:29:19.940 seems fair.
00:29:20.520 But I think
00:29:22.820 Trump would
00:29:23.880 destroy them 0.99
00:29:24.680 both. 0.99
00:29:26.220 All right.
00:29:28.440 Let's see what
00:29:29.220 else we get.
00:29:33.320 Biden.
00:29:34.100 So Biden
00:29:34.520 does a TV
00:29:35.780 interview, which
00:29:37.280 is always a
00:29:37.780 mistake for
00:29:38.280 Biden because
00:29:38.860 he's Mr.
00:29:39.680 Gaff.
00:29:40.440 So they usually
00:29:41.100 try to keep
00:29:41.620 him away from
00:29:42.080 cameras.
00:29:43.120 But he said
00:29:45.160 that white 0.97
00:29:45.920 supremacists are
00:29:46.740 very enthusiastic
00:29:47.460 about Trump.
00:29:49.040 That's what
00:29:49.400 Biden slips in
00:29:50.260 there.
00:29:51.120 And I'm
00:29:51.420 thinking, I
00:29:53.740 don't even
00:29:54.200 know a white
00:29:54.840 supremacist.
00:29:56.400 Like, actually.
00:29:57.940 Have you ever
00:29:58.420 met a white 0.94
00:29:58.980 supremacist?
00:30:00.220 There are
00:30:00.660 definitely racists.
00:30:02.140 There are 0.78
00:30:02.520 definitely white
00:30:04.140 nationalists.
00:30:05.380 There are
00:30:05.820 definitely neo-Nazis.
00:30:07.740 But I don't
00:30:08.520 think any of
00:30:09.120 those groups I
00:30:09.820 named think
00:30:11.100 that white 0.95
00:30:11.500 people are 0.98
00:30:11.980 superior.
00:30:13.880 Do you?
00:30:15.280 Is there a
00:30:16.020 white supremacist
00:30:17.060 somewhere in 0.99
00:30:18.200 the country,
00:30:18.740 in the United
00:30:19.200 States in
00:30:19.760 2020,
00:30:20.240 who has a
00:30:21.620 television set
00:30:22.480 and they
00:30:23.560 can see a
00:30:24.360 little bit
00:30:24.680 outside of
00:30:25.260 their hovel
00:30:26.340 or wherever
00:30:26.820 they're living?
00:30:28.540 Is there
00:30:28.840 anybody who
00:30:29.240 can turn on
00:30:29.680 the TV and
00:30:30.240 say to
00:30:30.520 themselves,
00:30:30.980 you know,
00:30:31.640 I don't
00:30:32.660 think black 0.97
00:30:33.580 people will
00:30:34.200 ever make it
00:30:34.780 in sports.
00:30:35.500 sports, and
00:30:37.400 then they turn
00:30:37.840 on the TV
00:30:38.360 and they're
00:30:38.620 like, oh,
00:30:39.660 okay, well 0.87
00:30:41.280 apparently black 0.94
00:30:42.080 people are 0.81
00:30:42.620 good at
00:30:42.980 sports, but
00:30:44.440 they're never
00:30:45.040 going to make
00:30:45.480 it in the
00:30:45.960 arts.
00:30:47.420 And then they
00:30:47.900 turn on the
00:30:48.340 TV and
00:30:48.960 they're like,
00:30:49.700 oh, okay,
00:30:51.680 well it looks
00:30:52.140 like they're
00:30:52.600 really, really
00:30:53.200 successful in
00:30:53.940 the arts and
00:30:54.540 music and
00:30:55.400 every form of
00:30:56.600 entertainment,
00:30:57.040 so, but,
00:30:58.460 but, you
00:30:59.580 know, you'll
00:31:00.060 never have a 0.97
00:31:01.220 black person 0.96
00:31:01.780 that will be 0.96
00:31:02.120 president.
00:31:02.900 Okay, Obama
00:31:03.580 was president.
00:31:05.020 You know, and
00:31:05.560 you can just
00:31:05.980 go down the
00:31:06.480 line.
00:31:07.300 Like, I've
00:31:08.120 never met a
00:31:08.820 white supremacist
00:31:09.800 who thought 0.99
00:31:10.960 that white 0.95
00:31:13.040 people are 0.99
00:31:13.940 better than
00:31:14.420 other people.
00:31:16.020 Have you?
00:31:17.100 I mean,
00:31:17.800 seriously, have
00:31:19.060 you ever met
00:31:19.540 anybody?
00:31:20.380 I've never
00:31:20.700 even seen an
00:31:22.540 interview recently.
00:31:24.460 Now, you have
00:31:24.900 to throw in
00:31:25.400 recently, because
00:31:26.680 if you go
00:31:27.160 back into our
00:31:27.900 dark American
00:31:28.740 past, yeah,
00:31:29.560 you'll find
00:31:29.960 every bit of
00:31:30.780 that.
00:31:33.000 But in
00:31:33.640 2020, could
00:31:35.860 you find me
00:31:36.720 one person
00:31:38.100 who said,
00:31:38.840 oh, yeah,
00:31:40.260 you know,
00:31:40.620 this race is
00:31:41.540 way better than
00:31:42.300 this race on
00:31:42.980 every dimension.
00:31:44.580 I don't think
00:31:45.380 so.
00:31:46.440 I don't think
00:31:47.040 so.
00:31:47.720 No, Ann
00:31:48.300 Coulter doesn't
00:31:48.940 think that.
00:31:50.820 And you're
00:31:51.580 going back to
00:31:52.040 Margaret Singer,
00:31:52.900 you have to go
00:31:53.520 back to the
00:31:54.000 past.
00:31:54.620 I'm talking
00:31:55.140 2020.
00:31:55.720 2020, I'm
00:31:58.120 going to
00:31:58.280 make the
00:31:58.840 claim that
00:32:00.000 there's no
00:32:00.400 such thing as 0.74
00:32:01.260 an actual
00:32:01.800 white supremacist,
00:32:03.480 meaning thinking 0.89
00:32:04.800 that one race
00:32:05.560 is superior to
00:32:06.500 others, you
00:32:07.520 know, in all
00:32:07.840 the important
00:32:08.240 ways.
00:32:08.780 I don't think
00:32:09.340 that exists.
00:32:10.980 There are just
00:32:11.360 people who have
00:32:11.920 preferences, which
00:32:12.880 maybe you wish
00:32:13.540 they didn't
00:32:13.900 have, but it's
00:32:16.020 not that.
00:32:17.260 Anyway, so
00:32:18.540 Biden, I think
00:32:19.740 he's just lost
00:32:20.700 in the past,
00:32:21.780 in some past
00:32:22.500 where there were
00:32:23.140 such things as
00:32:23.920 white supremacists
00:32:24.840 in the old
00:32:25.740 fashioned way
00:32:26.300 that he thinks
00:32:26.780 of it.
00:32:27.940 All right, and
00:32:28.880 I think he's
00:32:29.400 cleverly trying to
00:32:30.300 conflate that
00:32:31.160 term with other
00:32:32.740 terms to add to
00:32:34.380 the badness.
00:32:36.320 I love the
00:32:37.180 effort going on
00:32:38.140 now to force
00:32:38.960 Bernie to
00:32:39.600 disavow his own
00:32:40.580 supporters.
00:32:43.500 I don't think
00:32:44.340 it's going to
00:32:44.700 happen, but I
00:32:47.880 think it was
00:32:48.140 Biden and maybe
00:32:49.220 others who
00:32:49.760 are calling
00:32:50.120 for him to
00:32:51.100 disavow his
00:32:53.520 Bernie bro
00:32:54.140 supporters who 0.97
00:32:55.260 are misogynistic
00:32:56.380 and whatever
00:32:57.420 else they are.
00:33:00.080 I just love
00:33:01.000 watching the
00:33:01.840 Democrats tear
00:33:02.960 each other
00:33:03.340 apart.
00:33:04.540 All right,
00:33:04.700 here's a
00:33:05.160 thought for
00:33:09.260 you.
00:33:10.440 You know,
00:33:10.840 for a while
00:33:11.260 there were
00:33:12.020 lots of talk
00:33:12.680 about reparations,
00:33:14.220 but you haven't
00:33:14.720 heard about it
00:33:15.260 lately, right?
00:33:16.680 During the
00:33:17.300 early parts of
00:33:18.060 the Democratic
00:33:19.160 primary process,
00:33:22.040 you saw some
00:33:22.540 of the Democrats
00:33:23.140 talking about,
00:33:24.020 hey, yeah, I
00:33:24.620 would do
00:33:24.900 reparations for
00:33:25.940 slavery, but I
00:33:28.420 haven't heard it
00:33:28.920 lately.
00:33:29.780 It feels like it
00:33:30.560 dropped off the
00:33:31.600 top ten of
00:33:32.440 things that people
00:33:33.140 are talking about,
00:33:34.360 but let me just
00:33:35.460 throw out this
00:33:36.120 idea.
00:33:38.040 Recently, the
00:33:38.880 Trump administration
00:33:39.740 joined with
00:33:41.140 Congress in a
00:33:41.880 bipartisan thing,
00:33:43.240 so it's not
00:33:43.660 just a Trump
00:33:44.620 thing, but
00:33:45.280 Trump signed
00:33:46.740 off on it,
00:33:47.260 so the
00:33:47.960 administration
00:33:48.400 usually
00:33:48.860 traditionally
00:33:49.700 gets credit
00:33:50.380 even if
00:33:51.440 Congress did
00:33:52.040 most of the
00:33:52.480 work.
00:33:52.880 As long as
00:33:53.320 the president
00:33:53.700 says yes at
00:33:54.440 the end,
00:33:55.460 the administration
00:33:56.080 tends to get
00:33:56.760 some credit
00:33:57.160 for that,
00:33:57.960 even if you
00:33:59.040 think they
00:33:59.340 shouldn't.
00:34:00.740 So one of
00:34:01.180 the things that
00:34:01.660 fits in that
00:34:02.540 category is
00:34:03.360 that the
00:34:04.620 president signed
00:34:05.240 a bipartisan
00:34:05.880 bill back in
00:34:07.000 December that
00:34:08.480 will permanently
00:34:09.280 provide more
00:34:10.180 than $250 million
00:34:11.500 a year to the
00:34:13.000 nation's historically
00:34:13.980 black universities,
00:34:15.080 countries, along
00:34:16.220 with dozens of
00:34:17.000 other institutions
00:34:17.780 that serve large
00:34:19.080 shares of
00:34:19.760 minority students.
00:34:21.780 Now, if the
00:34:23.620 government and
00:34:25.060 our Congress
00:34:25.700 decides to put
00:34:28.180 $250 million a
00:34:29.420 year toward
00:34:30.500 primarily black
00:34:34.240 interests and
00:34:35.760 black education
00:34:36.860 in particular,
00:34:37.580 higher education,
00:34:38.280 I think the
00:34:39.120 emphasis here is
00:34:40.020 on STEM-type
00:34:41.640 programs, so
00:34:43.400 there's a real
00:34:44.780 interest to get
00:34:45.520 the higher-paying
00:34:46.780 jobs cranked up
00:34:48.700 here.
00:34:49.800 So is that not
00:34:51.700 reparations?
00:34:53.740 Is that not
00:34:54.640 reparations?
00:34:56.300 Now, apparently
00:34:57.460 it's bipartisan,
00:34:58.640 so Republicans and
00:34:59.700 Democrats both
00:35:00.520 looked at it and
00:35:01.080 said, you know,
00:35:02.280 not bad.
00:35:03.480 Now, the trouble
00:35:04.380 with doing something
00:35:05.120 that's more
00:35:05.560 traditionally
00:35:06.300 reparations,
00:35:07.260 meaning you cut
00:35:08.740 a check, like
00:35:09.540 was done with
00:35:10.420 the Japanese
00:35:11.660 Americans who
00:35:12.380 were held in
00:35:13.340 internment camps
00:35:14.500 in World War
00:35:15.520 II, they just
00:35:16.220 got a check,
00:35:17.220 which covered
00:35:18.560 almost nothing
00:35:19.560 compared to what
00:35:20.140 they lost in
00:35:20.800 many cases.
00:35:21.780 But that's not
00:35:22.380 really practical
00:35:23.180 with slavery
00:35:24.600 reparations,
00:35:25.400 because you've
00:35:25.920 got all the
00:35:27.140 people who
00:35:27.580 weren't here
00:35:28.240 when it
00:35:28.660 happened,
00:35:29.480 you've got,
00:35:30.380 you know,
00:35:30.580 what about
00:35:30.980 people who 0.78
00:35:32.060 are black, 0.74
00:35:32.620 but they came
00:35:33.120 in after
00:35:33.740 slavery,
00:35:34.620 they came
00:35:34.920 from other
00:35:35.300 countries,
00:35:35.920 you know.
00:35:36.160 It would be
00:35:37.520 impossible to
00:35:39.400 just write
00:35:39.880 checks,
00:35:40.760 so that's
00:35:41.240 never going
00:35:41.580 to happen.
00:35:42.860 But if you
00:35:44.240 may recall
00:35:44.900 that I once,
00:35:47.120 not too long
00:35:47.720 ago, a few
00:35:48.080 years ago,
00:35:48.480 I was writing
00:35:48.840 blogging about
00:35:50.080 where we could
00:35:50.860 do reparations
00:35:51.920 in a way that
00:35:52.580 would make
00:35:52.980 everybody happy,
00:35:54.700 which would be
00:35:55.680 funding college 0.68
00:35:57.420 for black
00:35:58.500 students with
00:35:59.320 some kind of
00:35:59.820 favoritism,
00:36:00.700 and that's
00:36:01.300 what this is.
00:36:01.900 so it's
00:36:03.660 a favoritism
00:36:04.540 for black
00:36:05.480 students and
00:36:06.360 other minorities
00:36:07.020 in which they
00:36:08.240 get some
00:36:08.920 favorable funding
00:36:09.740 from the
00:36:10.140 government so
00:36:11.000 that they have
00:36:11.600 high-level
00:36:12.500 institutions.
00:36:13.900 Now, does
00:36:14.220 this matter?
00:36:15.640 Is it
00:36:15.920 enough?
00:36:17.080 Well, I
00:36:17.860 would note
00:36:18.280 that Kamala
00:36:18.980 Harris came
00:36:19.540 out of one
00:36:19.920 of those
00:36:20.240 colleges,
00:36:20.580 so it's
00:36:23.280 clear that
00:36:23.760 those colleges
00:36:24.340 are producing
00:36:25.240 leaders,
00:36:26.840 and I
00:36:28.400 would say
00:36:28.820 this is a
00:36:29.700 really,
00:36:30.340 really strong
00:36:31.300 approach to
00:36:32.840 something like
00:36:33.740 reparations.
00:36:34.460 So here's the
00:36:34.900 fun part.
00:36:37.480 Think of the
00:36:38.180 things that
00:36:38.620 Trump has
00:36:39.180 done for
00:36:39.700 the black
00:36:42.080 community,
00:36:42.600 including the
00:36:43.060 opportunity zones.
00:36:43.960 I think Tim
00:36:44.440 Scott was
00:36:46.140 kind of in
00:36:48.040 charge of
00:36:48.380 that,
00:36:49.080 so there
00:36:50.100 are,
00:36:50.680 I may be
00:36:51.060 using the
00:36:51.440 wrong thing,
00:36:51.980 special
00:36:52.300 opportunity
00:36:52.780 zones or
00:36:53.380 something,
00:36:54.060 but it's
00:36:54.380 basically,
00:36:55.080 again,
00:36:55.380 it's government
00:36:55.860 funding for
00:36:56.820 disadvantaged
00:36:57.620 areas,
00:36:58.640 which are
00:36:59.240 primarily
00:36:59.780 black and
00:37:00.340 minority
00:37:00.720 areas.
00:37:01.560 So we
00:37:02.100 have two
00:37:02.400 areas in
00:37:02.900 which the
00:37:03.220 government
00:37:03.520 is very
00:37:04.120 directly
00:37:04.680 funding very
00:37:06.440 large amounts
00:37:07.020 of money
00:37:07.380 to black 0.60
00:37:09.160 interests that
00:37:10.580 you could say
00:37:11.620 that's not
00:37:12.180 reparations,
00:37:13.660 but I think
00:37:14.200 that's just
00:37:14.640 word thinking,
00:37:15.680 because it
00:37:16.040 looks exactly
00:37:16.660 like reparations
00:37:17.540 to me,
00:37:18.740 the best you
00:37:19.540 could do,
00:37:20.780 since you
00:37:21.240 couldn't write
00:37:21.640 checks to
00:37:22.040 everybody,
00:37:22.380 there's no
00:37:22.660 way to do
00:37:23.020 that.
00:37:23.380 All right,
00:37:24.040 let's talk
00:37:24.380 about something
00:37:24.780 else.
00:37:26.820 Does it
00:37:28.280 seem to
00:37:28.560 you that
00:37:28.940 Trump is
00:37:29.440 the only
00:37:29.740 one who
00:37:30.200 is working
00:37:31.680 on unity
00:37:32.440 while the
00:37:33.480 Democrats are
00:37:34.120 working desperately
00:37:34.860 to divide us?
00:37:36.340 Just keep that
00:37:37.460 in mind as
00:37:38.040 you're watching,
00:37:38.660 because I just
00:37:39.380 gave you some
00:37:39.860 examples where
00:37:41.280 Trump, you
00:37:42.420 know, and you
00:37:43.140 could throw in
00:37:43.780 prison reform
00:37:44.860 and other
00:37:45.300 things, low
00:37:46.680 unemployment
00:37:47.000 rates, so
00:37:48.080 President Trump
00:37:48.640 is continuously
00:37:49.400 doing things
00:37:50.340 which are
00:37:50.720 obviously designed
00:37:51.680 to bring people
00:37:52.620 together in the
00:37:53.660 United States.
00:37:54.980 And the
00:37:55.200 Democrats are
00:37:57.500 obviously doing
00:37:58.260 the opposite.
00:37:59.560 They're very
00:37:59.940 obviously doing
00:38:00.580 the opposite.
00:38:02.160 All right.
00:38:06.320 The Boy Scouts
00:38:07.340 of America
00:38:07.900 filed for
00:38:08.660 bankruptcy amid
00:38:10.200 a surge in
00:38:10.960 legal costs
00:38:11.800 over his
00:38:12.320 handling of
00:38:12.920 sexual abuse
00:38:13.800 allegations.
00:38:15.540 Now, this
00:38:17.000 story, the
00:38:19.200 actual details
00:38:20.200 of the story,
00:38:21.380 I'm not
00:38:22.360 interested in.
00:38:23.700 I mean,
00:38:24.340 they're
00:38:25.200 important, and
00:38:26.700 they can't be
00:38:27.800 swept under
00:38:28.320 the rug, of
00:38:29.020 course, but
00:38:30.560 just for our
00:38:31.120 purposes today,
00:38:31.980 the actual
00:38:32.360 details of
00:38:33.020 those cases,
00:38:33.700 I'm not too
00:38:34.180 interested in.
00:38:35.000 Here's what
00:38:35.400 I'm interested
00:38:35.880 in.
00:38:37.840 Incentives
00:38:38.320 work.
00:38:40.840 Every time
00:38:41.580 you see a
00:38:42.020 situation in
00:38:42.980 which there's
00:38:43.380 a clear
00:38:43.800 incentive to
00:38:44.540 do one
00:38:44.980 thing versus
00:38:45.560 the other,
00:38:46.580 you should
00:38:47.000 expect that
00:38:47.600 that's going
00:38:48.000 to make a
00:38:48.340 difference.
00:38:49.580 And if you
00:38:50.480 create a
00:38:51.060 national
00:38:51.440 organization,
00:38:52.360 which by
00:38:53.460 its nature
00:38:54.080 pairs adult
00:38:55.540 men with
00:38:57.600 otherwise
00:38:58.300 unsupervised
00:39:00.760 young people,
00:39:03.220 eventually that
00:39:04.300 organization is
00:39:05.380 going to
00:39:05.820 attract not
00:39:07.340 just good
00:39:08.300 dads and
00:39:08.960 good moms 0.75
00:39:09.600 who just
00:39:10.500 want to
00:39:10.800 help out,
00:39:12.000 but it's
00:39:12.420 going to
00:39:12.680 attract more
00:39:13.500 than its
00:39:13.920 share of
00:39:14.400 people who
00:39:14.860 say,
00:39:15.340 are you
00:39:16.020 kidding?
00:39:17.140 That's
00:39:17.520 exactly what
00:39:18.100 I want.
00:39:18.960 The people
00:39:19.380 who have
00:39:19.620 bad intentions
00:39:20.300 and just
00:39:20.860 want to
00:39:21.340 have access
00:39:22.680 to children,
00:39:23.480 really.
00:39:24.820 So every
00:39:26.940 time I see
00:39:27.460 somebody who's
00:39:28.080 a coach for
00:39:30.160 some youth
00:39:30.800 league or
00:39:31.760 something like
00:39:33.200 that, there's
00:39:34.180 always a little
00:39:34.620 bell that goes
00:39:35.240 off in my
00:39:35.680 head which
00:39:36.520 says, I
00:39:38.540 hope they
00:39:38.920 just want to
00:39:39.380 help.
00:39:40.820 I hope they
00:39:41.320 just want to
00:39:41.740 help.
00:39:42.880 But what I
00:39:44.140 use is the
00:39:44.780 shoe salesman
00:39:45.880 analogy.
00:39:46.680 And it
00:39:47.720 goes like
00:39:48.120 this.
00:39:48.460 And by
00:39:48.700 the way, I
00:39:49.060 have no
00:39:49.400 evidence that
00:39:50.220 this is
00:39:50.560 true.
00:39:51.280 Just think
00:39:52.260 it through.
00:39:53.380 My belief
00:39:54.120 is that the
00:39:55.180 industry of
00:39:55.900 shoe salesperson
00:39:57.120 has existed
00:39:57.940 for a long
00:39:58.500 time.
00:39:59.440 And over
00:39:59.960 time, you
00:40:00.940 would expect
00:40:01.520 that it
00:40:02.540 would attract
00:40:03.060 more than
00:40:03.620 its share
00:40:04.060 of people
00:40:04.500 who kind
00:40:05.660 of like
00:40:06.000 feet and
00:40:06.580 shoes more
00:40:07.200 than the
00:40:07.540 average, if
00:40:08.060 you know
00:40:08.260 what I
00:40:08.480 mean.
00:40:09.320 So in
00:40:09.960 theory,
00:40:11.380 sooner or
00:40:12.300 later, most
00:40:13.700 or all
00:40:14.220 male shoe
00:40:15.260 salespeople
00:40:16.060 should have
00:40:17.960 a little
00:40:18.480 love of
00:40:18.940 shoes.
00:40:19.860 I'm trying
00:40:20.380 to keep
00:40:20.700 this G-rated,
00:40:21.860 but you
00:40:22.180 know what I
00:40:22.520 mean, right?
00:40:23.400 So over
00:40:24.200 time, incentives
00:40:24.960 always work.
00:40:26.400 Just keep
00:40:26.800 that in
00:40:27.080 mind.
00:40:28.000 All right.
00:40:30.160 I saw
00:40:30.880 trending on
00:40:31.560 Twitter the
00:40:33.040 name Kenan
00:40:33.920 Thompson.
00:40:35.700 And Kenan
00:40:36.500 Thompson is
00:40:37.220 a comedian
00:40:38.560 from Saturday
00:40:39.400 Night Live,
00:40:40.060 member of the
00:40:40.460 cast for a
00:40:40.940 long time.
00:40:41.800 And as soon
00:40:42.280 as I saw it
00:40:42.740 was trending,
00:40:43.360 I thought,
00:40:43.840 oh, no.
00:40:45.840 Another
00:40:46.240 tragic death
00:40:47.240 of a comedian
00:40:48.060 who's left
00:40:49.340 us too
00:40:49.760 young.
00:40:50.880 And I
00:40:51.400 click on
00:40:51.820 it, and
00:40:52.480 it turns
00:40:52.700 out it
00:40:52.920 wasn't any
00:40:53.320 bad news.
00:40:53.960 He got
00:40:54.220 the job
00:40:54.720 of hosting
00:40:55.760 the White
00:40:56.120 House
00:40:56.320 Correspondence
00:40:57.080 Dinner.
00:40:57.980 So congratulations
00:40:58.760 to Kenan
00:40:59.340 Thompson.
00:41:00.060 But what's
00:41:00.340 funny is I
00:41:00.860 read the
00:41:01.260 comments on
00:41:01.920 the hashtag,
00:41:03.020 and it
00:41:03.380 was funny how
00:41:03.900 many people
00:41:04.380 had the
00:41:04.700 same first
00:41:06.560 thought.
00:41:07.780 People were
00:41:08.660 clicking on
00:41:09.280 that like
00:41:09.640 crazy to
00:41:10.200 find out,
00:41:10.640 oh, my
00:41:10.900 God, I
00:41:11.260 hope he's
00:41:12.420 okay.
00:41:13.580 And he's
00:41:13.900 okay.
00:41:15.260 So how
00:41:16.720 often do
00:41:17.180 you get
00:41:17.440 good news?
00:41:18.440 It's like,
00:41:18.840 hey,
00:41:19.300 Kenan
00:41:19.560 Thompson,
00:41:20.820 congratulations,
00:41:21.780 you got a
00:41:22.040 good job,
00:41:22.700 and you're
00:41:23.080 healthy as
00:41:23.580 far as
00:41:23.820 we know.
00:41:25.160 Did you
00:41:25.760 see the
00:41:26.080 video of
00:41:26.880 Sanders was
00:41:27.700 giving his
00:41:28.500 speech, I
00:41:28.900 guess, in
00:41:29.200 Nevada?
00:41:30.520 And a young
00:41:30.960 woman came 1.00
00:41:31.480 up and grabbed
00:41:32.080 the microphone
00:41:32.640 away from
00:41:33.180 them, and
00:41:33.520 then another
00:41:33.940 young woman
00:41:34.560 or two of
00:41:35.380 them came
00:41:36.520 up and took
00:41:37.240 their tops
00:41:37.720 off and
00:41:38.300 dumped pink 0.84
00:41:39.900 colored milk
00:41:40.900 on them
00:41:41.380 because they
00:41:41.900 were protesting
00:41:42.520 dairy, I
00:41:45.520 guess the
00:41:45.920 horrible dairy
00:41:47.220 industry they
00:41:47.940 were protesting.
00:41:49.620 And so
00:41:51.460 Sanders, when
00:41:52.580 the first young
00:41:53.160 woman tried to 1.00
00:41:53.880 grab the
00:41:54.260 microphone away,
00:41:55.020 he just let
00:41:55.480 her have it,
00:41:56.360 and he stood
00:41:57.080 back.
00:41:58.180 He let his
00:41:58.940 security do
00:41:59.740 what his
00:42:00.100 security does,
00:42:01.100 and they took
00:42:02.360 care of it in
00:42:03.000 a reasonable
00:42:04.640 manner,
00:42:05.080 professional
00:42:05.440 manner.
00:42:05.720 So, on
00:42:07.400 one hand,
00:42:08.520 you could
00:42:08.860 say, oh,
00:42:09.660 you know,
00:42:10.140 actually,
00:42:10.640 Sanders handled
00:42:11.480 that perfectly
00:42:12.140 because he
00:42:13.840 avoided any
00:42:14.600 conflict, he
00:42:16.160 got out of
00:42:16.680 the way, and
00:42:17.560 he let the
00:42:17.980 professionals who
00:42:18.780 were there for
00:42:19.380 that purpose,
00:42:20.080 the security,
00:42:20.640 do their job,
00:42:21.340 and then they
00:42:21.740 did it.
00:42:22.980 But that's
00:42:23.660 not how it
00:42:24.180 looked.
00:42:26.380 Unfortunately,
00:42:27.720 it looked like
00:42:29.060 a weak leader
00:42:30.820 because he
00:42:32.580 just got,
00:42:33.260 basically, a
00:42:33.980 young woman
00:42:34.440 just pushed
00:42:34.980 him off the
00:42:35.440 stage and
00:42:36.560 took control,
00:42:37.780 and he let
00:42:38.200 it happen.
00:42:39.300 So, logically,
00:42:40.480 he did the
00:42:40.900 right thing,
00:42:42.420 and I really
00:42:43.900 think he did,
00:42:44.760 just getting
00:42:45.300 it out of
00:42:45.580 the way.
00:42:47.100 But the
00:42:48.040 look didn't
00:42:49.480 serve his
00:42:49.920 purposes.
00:42:50.460 It made him
00:42:50.760 look weak.
00:42:53.260 But then he
00:42:53.960 made some
00:42:54.620 good jokes
00:42:55.060 about the
00:42:55.420 free
00:42:55.640 entertainment,
00:42:56.840 so I think
00:42:57.400 he recovered
00:42:57.980 a little bit
00:42:58.460 from that.
00:42:59.440 And I
00:42:59.680 thought to
00:42:59.960 myself,
00:43:00.900 if I were
00:43:02.420 a political
00:43:03.060 operative,
00:43:04.620 and let's
00:43:04.920 say I
00:43:05.740 were a
00:43:06.100 political
00:43:06.420 operative
00:43:07.000 who was
00:43:08.180 working for
00:43:08.980 Bernie,
00:43:10.220 but I
00:43:10.560 was the
00:43:11.280 dirty tricks
00:43:11.880 person,
00:43:13.020 what would
00:43:13.960 be the
00:43:14.300 best dirty
00:43:15.440 trick that
00:43:16.960 you could
00:43:17.320 pull that
00:43:18.740 looks like
00:43:19.340 it's against
00:43:20.040 Sanders but
00:43:21.000 would work
00:43:21.480 in his
00:43:21.800 favor?
00:43:23.540 Would it
00:43:24.140 be the
00:43:24.500 suggestion
00:43:24.960 that there
00:43:25.980 might be
00:43:26.420 female nudity
00:43:27.340 at his
00:43:27.880 next rally?
00:43:28.640 because I
00:43:30.580 think that
00:43:30.940 would increase
00:43:31.400 his crowd
00:43:31.840 size.
00:43:33.540 Am I
00:43:33.700 wrong?
00:43:34.440 Just the
00:43:35.000 fact that it
00:43:35.480 made it more
00:43:35.900 interesting is
00:43:37.440 going to make
00:43:37.840 some people
00:43:38.280 say, well,
00:43:39.260 that might
00:43:39.560 happen again.
00:43:41.740 Right?
00:43:42.920 So if they
00:43:44.140 could make
00:43:44.460 that happen
00:43:44.960 twice,
00:43:46.060 and I'm
00:43:48.400 not saying it
00:43:48.840 was a dirty
00:43:49.260 trick, it
00:43:49.700 was probably
00:43:50.020 just a real
00:43:50.860 grassroots
00:43:51.300 movement,
00:43:52.200 but if it
00:43:52.640 was a dirty
00:43:53.140 trick and
00:43:54.040 they could
00:43:54.320 make it
00:43:54.600 happen twice
00:43:55.360 in a row,
00:43:55.760 by the
00:43:56.980 third time,
00:43:57.720 Sanders is
00:43:58.200 going to
00:43:58.400 have a
00:43:58.720 record
00:43:58.940 crowd,
00:43:59.700 so I
00:43:59.900 think that
00:44:00.180 would be
00:44:00.540 hilarious.
00:44:02.140 All right.
00:44:07.120 I had a
00:44:07.840 couple other
00:44:08.260 things to
00:44:09.400 talk about
00:44:09.880 that I
00:44:10.160 think I'm
00:44:10.520 not going
00:44:10.920 to.
00:44:12.240 I'm already
00:44:12.780 in enough
00:44:13.160 trouble.
00:44:14.880 So here's
00:44:15.900 an update.
00:44:16.900 I think I
00:44:17.380 told you that
00:44:18.040 I've been
00:44:18.660 working with
00:44:19.100 Google,
00:44:19.800 their team
00:44:20.380 that handles
00:44:21.220 the YouTube
00:44:22.020 demonetization
00:44:23.120 stuff.
00:44:23.960 When these
00:44:24.480 videos go
00:44:25.460 over to
00:44:25.740 YouTube for
00:44:26.900 replay, you
00:44:29.140 can also
00:44:29.440 watch them
00:44:29.820 on Periscope
00:44:30.600 for replay,
00:44:31.560 but I put
00:44:32.560 them on
00:44:32.780 YouTube as
00:44:33.420 well, and
00:44:34.260 they usually
00:44:34.600 get demonetized
00:44:35.440 based on
00:44:35.940 keywords, so
00:44:36.960 the algorithm
00:44:37.500 just picks
00:44:38.200 out keywords.
00:44:39.880 Today's
00:44:40.360 presentation
00:44:40.920 doesn't have
00:44:42.040 a chance of
00:44:43.480 being monetized
00:44:44.300 because it
00:44:45.240 has so many
00:44:45.680 bad keywords
00:44:46.400 in it that
00:44:48.240 in the way I
00:44:48.860 presented them,
00:44:49.540 there was
00:44:49.720 nothing bad
00:44:50.200 about them,
00:44:50.640 I hope.
00:44:51.420 I don't think
00:44:52.000 there was
00:44:52.200 anything I
00:44:52.600 said that
00:44:52.880 was even
00:44:53.200 controversial
00:44:53.600 today, but
00:44:54.960 it will be
00:44:55.320 demonetized.
00:44:57.840 And I'm
00:44:58.540 still working
00:44:58.980 through that
00:44:59.520 just so you
00:45:00.620 know.
00:45:06.180 Somebody says
00:45:07.080 you probably
00:45:07.600 have been
00:45:08.100 quote,
00:45:08.520 working with
00:45:09.540 Google.
00:45:10.540 Okay, I don't
00:45:10.960 know what that
00:45:11.340 means.
00:45:12.580 Yeah, so the
00:45:13.580 other story that
00:45:15.080 Joel Pollack
00:45:16.260 broke on his
00:45:17.900 radio show,
00:45:18.980 Breitbart Radio,
00:45:19.800 with Dershowitz,
00:45:20.920 is that Dershowitz is
00:45:21.780 apparently going
00:45:22.560 to reveal
00:45:24.040 sometime in the
00:45:25.020 near future,
00:45:26.320 based on some
00:45:27.040 legal case that's 0.97
00:45:29.100 going to be
00:45:29.400 filed or whatever,
00:45:31.200 that Soros once
00:45:33.320 asked Obama to
00:45:35.460 investigate somebody.
00:45:36.740 I think that's
00:45:37.360 the story.
00:45:38.180 But I would say
00:45:38.740 that's a wait and
00:45:39.360 see.
00:45:40.260 I wouldn't put any
00:45:42.100 weight on that
00:45:43.140 until you see the
00:45:44.040 details, because
00:45:44.800 that's either a big
00:45:45.520 deal or a no deal.
00:45:47.360 And even Dershowitz
00:45:48.120 said it's not that
00:45:49.300 unusual for people
00:45:50.140 to whisper to
00:45:50.800 presidents and
00:45:52.180 say, hey, you
00:45:53.460 ought to look into
00:45:53.980 this.
00:45:55.220 All right.
00:45:59.300 Somebody says,
00:46:00.240 will Comey,
00:46:00.880 Brennan, and or
00:46:01.660 Clapper be
00:46:02.280 indicted?
00:46:03.040 I would guess no
00:46:04.340 at this point.
00:46:05.980 And the weird
00:46:06.700 thing is, I don't
00:46:08.560 know that there
00:46:09.020 will ever be a
00:46:09.660 reason.
00:46:11.180 Do you?
00:46:12.140 I just don't know
00:46:13.000 that we'll ever see
00:46:13.680 a reason that they're
00:46:14.600 not indicted.
00:46:15.980 I think it just
00:46:16.780 won't happen.
00:46:19.300 So, I almost
00:46:24.280 had Tulsi
00:46:26.540 Gabbard on this
00:46:28.300 Periscope yesterday.
00:46:30.980 No, I almost had
00:46:31.760 her on Friday, but
00:46:33.140 I couldn't schedule
00:46:34.320 it, because she
00:46:35.220 couldn't do it at
00:46:35.820 this time, and I
00:46:36.620 couldn't do it at
00:46:37.080 her time.
00:46:38.280 So, they did
00:46:39.240 circle back and
00:46:40.220 tried to do that,
00:46:40.880 but I couldn't
00:46:41.280 schedule.
00:46:44.760 Bloomberg de
00:46:45.360 Blasio ticket, no.
00:46:47.880 Got anything on
00:46:48.780 McCabe.
00:46:50.260 So, McCabe will
00:46:51.560 not be charged, and
00:46:53.560 honestly, I don't
00:46:54.480 really understand the
00:46:55.760 differences between
00:46:57.420 one person lying to
00:47:00.460 Congress or lying to
00:47:01.820 the FBI.
00:47:02.860 I just don't know
00:47:03.860 what makes one
00:47:04.560 illegal and one
00:47:05.340 not.
00:47:08.300 But I will observe
00:47:10.260 that there doesn't
00:47:11.120 seem to be a
00:47:11.780 standard way that
00:47:13.260 that rule is
00:47:14.340 applied.
00:47:14.700 somebody says,
00:47:18.320 then, what is
00:47:18.740 Durham doing?
00:47:20.260 Well, I don't
00:47:22.160 know what Durham is
00:47:22.800 doing.
00:47:23.220 I just predict that
00:47:24.360 you're not going to
00:47:24.880 see those guys that
00:47:26.080 you mentioned
00:47:26.540 indicted.
00:47:30.440 Got lots of
00:47:31.220 questions here.
00:47:31.780 All right.
00:47:43.440 What?
00:47:44.160 Leveraging
00:47:44.520 Bernie.
00:47:45.360 I don't know about
00:47:46.100 that story.
00:47:47.840 All right.
00:47:48.380 I think that's all I
00:47:49.260 got for today, and I
00:47:50.060 will talk to you
00:47:50.780 tomorrow.
00:47:51.340 Leveraging
