Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 829 Scott Adams： Why Bernie Can't Beat Trump, California Homeless Solutions, Biden Hallucinations

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, come on in. It's time for coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:14.840 Today will be one of the best coffees with Scott Adams of all time.

00:00:20.320 Because we've learned that coffee is even healthier than we thought.

00:00:26.160 How about that, huh?

00:00:27.120 Yes, the recent science, New York Times reports, says that coffee is really, really good for you.

00:00:35.740 So, not only do we have the delight of the simultaneous sip, but we're all going to be healthier in a moment, those of us having coffee.

00:00:43.620 And all you need to participate is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or gels or stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:51.440 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:53.300 I like coffee because it's so healthy.

00:00:55.620 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine to the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better, the simultaneous sip.

00:01:02.920 Go.

00:01:11.500 Yes, science confirmed.

00:01:15.560 I feel healthier, don't you?

00:01:17.740 I think you do.

00:01:18.580 All right.

00:01:23.480 How bad is it for the Democrats when one of the biggest conversations is which candidate Trump would destroy the most?

00:01:35.280 Have we stopped even talking about Democrats winning the presidency?

00:01:39.960 Honestly, I feel as if the conversation is shifting to how badly Trump will destroy whoever gets nominated, probably Bernie.

00:01:50.420 Speaking of Bernie, what does it mean that Bernie has so much support from young people?

00:01:57.900 What's that tell you?

00:01:59.620 Well, it could tell you he's bribing them with the money of old people. 0.99

00:02:03.420 I mean, that's basically what he's doing.

00:02:05.880 He's transferring money from the old to the young.

00:02:08.940 So that'll get some young people.

00:02:10.960 But the problem is, aren't young people the dumbest among us?

00:02:15.980 And I say this with love because everybody was young.

00:02:19.960 And if they're lucky, they get older.

00:02:21.740 And I tried this following experiment with a teenager in my social world.

00:02:29.640 So recently, a teenager was noting that, you know, she seemed to be as smart as an adult.

00:02:37.540 It doesn't matter the topic.

00:02:40.140 And I said this.

00:02:41.380 Have you ever noticed that you know more than you did when you were six years old?

00:02:46.520 Try this with a person in their 20s.

00:02:48.920 A person in their 20s says, Bernie, it's Bernie, it's Bernie all the way.

00:02:53.720 And say this.

00:02:54.500 You know, do you think you know as much as you did when you were six years old?

00:03:00.740 Or do you know more?

00:03:02.140 Are you smarter than when you were six years old?

00:03:04.760 Now, anybody in their 20s is going to say, yeah, obviously.

00:03:10.000 Then you say, are you smarter than when you were, let's say, 14?

00:03:14.100 You know, now you're 25.

00:03:15.620 Are you smarter than when you were 14 years old?

00:03:18.060 Most people in their 20s will say, yeah, yeah, I'm a lot smarter.

00:03:24.300 And here's the punchline.

00:03:26.860 Do you think that stops?

00:03:30.220 Do you think that you're not going to be smarter at 40 than you are at 25?

00:03:36.220 Do you think there's any chance of that?

00:03:38.280 Now, you could argue that when you're 85, you might slow down.

00:03:42.040 And maybe a 25-year-old is smarter than an 85-year-old on average, could be.

00:03:48.480 But you ask a 25-year-old, do you think you're going to stop growing and you're not going to get any smarter?

00:03:55.340 Or do you think it will be like every other year of your life where you get more experienced and smarter?

00:04:01.400 Because if the people who are twice as experienced are generally thinking that the person you're voting for is a really bad idea, but you don't see it, what is the problem here?

00:04:16.460 Now, you can't really change people's minds with this argument, but it's a lot of fun.

00:04:23.020 Get people to first agree that youth is associated with lack of experience and that we know that because all of us are smarter than we used to be.

00:04:32.440 There's no exception.

00:04:33.760 You can't find anybody who believes they were smarter at 14 than they were at 25.

00:04:39.480 Nobody's going to say that.

00:04:40.580 So we have to look at the fact that there's a candidate who's getting a lot of the young vote, and it's not a compliment, if you know what I mean.

00:04:54.620 All right, I wonder if there's anybody who will take this position in voting.

00:04:59.100 Let's say Sanders gets nominated.

00:05:01.040 Will there be anybody who says, I really, really don't want Trump, but on the other hand, I don't want Bernie to destroy the world with his socialism?

00:05:11.440 So what would you do?

00:05:14.020 Because you don't want Bernie to destroy the world, but you desperately don't want President Trump anymore.

00:05:19.660 How would you vote?

00:05:21.460 I'm wondering if some people will do this.

00:05:24.100 Vote for Bernie, and then vote for all Republicans in Congress.

00:05:31.840 Just try to flip the House Republican.

00:05:34.780 Why?

00:05:35.760 Because Bernie, if he's elected president, means you don't have President Trump.

00:05:40.900 So that mission might be accomplished for somebody for whom that's the biggest mission.

00:05:45.960 But if you get Republicans in Congress, Bernie can't do anything.

00:05:51.640 He doesn't have any power.

00:05:52.760 So you can get rid of Trump without worrying about Bernie if you also flip the House.

00:06:00.300 By the way, I'm not suggesting anybody take this path.

00:06:05.240 I'm wondering.

00:06:06.080 It's just a question.

00:06:07.460 Is there anybody out there who says, you know, I just can't take Trump one more year, but I can't take a risk on Bernie, so I'm going to vote in Republicans to keep him at bay.

00:06:17.700 I mean, it could happen.

00:06:19.320 You can imagine somebody voting that way.

00:06:21.040 All right.

00:06:26.000 Does Bernie have persuasion skills the way Trump does?

00:06:35.540 And here's a filter I'm going to put on this to let you see the whole race a little more clearly.

00:06:43.380 Generally speaking, money will predict outcomes.

00:06:48.480 If you follow the money, you're generally going to be closer to a good prediction than if you don't.

00:06:54.400 You know, ignoring the effect of money is just always the worst predicting mistake you can make.

00:07:01.160 And right now you have a situation.

00:07:02.580 Let's see if you agree with the way I'm going to frame this.

00:07:06.500 Politicians generally try to bribe voters somehow.

00:07:13.280 I mean, it's all bribes one way or the other.

00:07:16.500 The way Trump tried to do it is he tried to bribe the American voters with money from other countries.

00:07:25.300 Right.

00:07:25.940 Because Trump was saying, let's close down immigration, which would be bad for the other countries.

00:07:32.240 But his argument was that it would be good for especially low income voters.

00:07:37.540 So he was explicitly trying to take money out of the hands of other countries and put it into the pockets of Americans.

00:07:46.640 In other words, bribing Americans to vote for him.

00:07:49.740 Look, I'll give you money.

00:07:51.440 It's going to come from these other countries.

00:07:53.420 And I'll even make Mexico pay for the wall.

00:07:56.080 You could argue whether that happened or whether Mexico paying for their forces on their southern border to keep the caravans out is sort of like paying for the wall.

00:08:05.260 But the point is, Trump said, I'm going to make other people pay our bills.

00:08:10.200 What did he say about NATO?

00:08:12.320 I'm going to make other countries for more of the bill.

00:08:16.580 Looks like free money.

00:08:18.140 What did Trump say about spending?

00:08:23.420 Instead of being a deficit hawk, he ran up the deficit.

00:08:28.840 Basically, Trump said, I'm going to give you money today.

00:08:33.140 And it's going to come out of people in the future.

00:08:36.240 I'm going to take money from the future and give it to you today.

00:08:39.480 Right?

00:08:40.000 That's what a debt is.

00:08:41.260 Somebody in the future has to pay for it.

00:08:42.900 But today we give free money.

00:08:45.500 The other way Trump gave us free money or tried to bribe us is by cutting regulations and cutting taxes to goose the economy.

00:08:53.460 If the economy is better, it creates money where it didn't exist before.

00:08:59.080 And then Trump says, hey, we can all share on this money.

00:09:01.480 So Trump was bribing the public, but bribing us with money that didn't yet exist and money from other countries and money that maybe was even imaginary.

00:09:16.240 That's a pretty good package because nobody who is a voter had to say, oh, I'm going to give my money to somebody else.

00:09:25.420 It was all somebody else's money coming to us.

00:09:27.320 That's good persuasion.

00:09:28.220 Now let's look at Bernie.

00:09:34.480 I don't know if you'll be able to see this too clearly, but maybe you will.

00:09:38.160 So here's my little chart.

00:09:40.980 Let's say Bernie gets the nomination.

00:09:43.720 Well, you can expect that Republicans are still going to vote for Trump because Republicans are pretty unified right now.

00:09:51.820 So whether you are an older and richer or younger and poorer citizen, if you're a Republican or even an independent who usually votes Republican,

00:10:03.820 you're still going to be happy with your choice.

00:10:05.640 So you can expect that Trump will get pretty much all of the Republican vote.

00:10:12.400 Then what about Bernie?

00:10:15.940 Remember, follow the money.

00:10:18.340 Bernie's plan is to take money from the older and or richer part of the public.

00:10:24.780 It usually tends to be the same, right?

00:10:26.860 It's not completely overlapping, but it's the older people who have more money.

00:10:31.020 And he plans to take a lot of that away and give it to younger people.

00:10:36.880 So you should expect the younger people would say, hey, free money.

00:10:40.760 Yeah, sign me up.

00:10:41.960 So if you're a Democrat and you're younger and or poorer, tends to be the same, but doesn't have to be.

00:10:48.500 You're probably going to say, you know, that looks pretty good to me.

00:10:51.280 So I think Bernie could be expected to get all of the younger, poorer Democrats.

00:10:57.440 But what about the people who've got some money or they're a little richer?

00:11:00.740 Let's say you are Chris Matthews.

00:11:04.920 Let's say Chris Matthews is up in this top left quadrant and he's getting ready for retirement.

00:11:11.840 One assumes, you know, he's at age where you start thinking about how much do I have I earned and what's my retirement look like and all that.

00:11:20.840 And he's looking at working all of his life, working really hard, amassing a certain amount of money, getting ready to retire.

00:11:28.620 And then Bernie is saying, I'm going to take that money that you earned fair and square.

00:11:32.660 And I'm going to give it to people who ran up big debts who really shouldn't have, let's say student loans and did not work as hard as you do for their money.

00:11:43.540 Is Chris Matthews, even though he's a Democrat, going to vote to give his money that he worked all of his life and now is looking for his retirement?

00:11:53.600 And suddenly, Bernie says, I want to take the comfort of your retirement away and give it to people who did not do the hard work you did and did not do the right things.

00:12:04.960 What is Chris Matthews going to do?

00:12:08.740 Is Chris Matthews going to say, yes, it's good for other people that I have a less secure retirement and that I worked hard and then just sort of gave it to people who didn't?

00:12:19.980 Is that going to be okay with Chris Matthews?

00:12:21.880 I'm going to say no.

00:12:24.240 So I don't see any scenario in which Bernie can get the older, richer debts on his side.

00:12:35.020 If you take the filter, the money is determinant.

00:12:38.840 So here's the basic problem.

00:12:40.920 Trump will be bribing the public with money that is imaginary, is future money, is potential money, is money from other countries.

00:12:49.280 So no voters are out of pocket for that stuff.

00:12:53.980 And then Bernie is doing the opposite.

00:12:56.940 He's saying I'm going to take money from the people who are above average in terms of their living conditions and I'm going to transfer it to people who are below average.

00:13:05.760 All the people above average should not vote for Bernie if they're going to vote for their own self-interest.

00:13:12.840 Now you assume some people are going to do it anyway because they want a better world or they're not doing the math good.

00:13:19.080 So people will still take the suboptimal path.

00:13:24.700 But I think money is really predictive.

00:13:27.880 And Bernie has a proposition which is half of the people who should be voting for him should be able to look at it and say,

00:13:35.040 you know, I'm in the half that's doing okay.

00:13:37.520 It's just all bad for me.

00:13:40.520 It's just good for the people at the bottom.

00:13:42.800 Why would I vote for that, say the people who were in the top half?

00:13:47.040 All right.

00:13:47.380 Does it seem to you that nobody is taking Pete Buttigieg seriously at the moment?

00:13:55.780 I feel as if, you know, if you look at the last three contests, Buttigieg either came in first or second, right?

00:14:05.620 Or he was near the top in all three contests.

00:14:10.000 Shouldn't we be talking really, really seriously about Pete Buttigieg?

00:14:14.280 But we're not, right?

00:14:16.060 Even the Democrats are not really taking him seriously.

00:14:19.320 And I think that the whole PowerPoint attack on him just being sort of an empty, jargon-filled suit, I think it took a toll.

00:14:32.360 I think Pete went from exciting and new and, you know, he's the shiny new thing and he's smart and he's fun and he's good-looking and, you know, he has a lot of cool things about him.

00:14:43.760 But then you listen to him and it just sounds like empty jargon talk.

00:14:50.080 And I think as soon as the word PowerPoint was mentioned, I think that was the end of his political run this time.

00:14:58.820 So I may be overstating how much difference that made, but, you know, you just don't see any enthusiasm for him anymore.

00:15:05.660 So, let's see, who would you say is dividing the country if Sanders and Trump run?

00:15:19.060 If you listen to Trump talk, Trump will be saying and doing things like this.

00:15:26.680 Here's me in a room full of young black voters cheering me on because they're Republicans.

00:15:33.840 Here's me, this is Trump talking, here's me praising black leaders, here's me bragging about lowering black unemployment, here's me bringing us, basically bringing everybody together.

00:15:50.100 Not insulting Americans, insulting other people, but, and his critics, but not insulting voters who are minding their own business.

00:15:58.300 And then there's Sanders.

00:16:00.440 Do you know what Sanders is saying?

00:16:02.080 Have you heard him recently?

00:16:03.840 He's decided that he's going to go full racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic.

00:16:11.920 And first of all, none of that even really lands.

00:16:15.180 Calling Trump a homophobic?

00:16:17.940 That is so not even close to what I'm observing.

00:16:22.960 Are you?

00:16:24.420 I mean, what would you even look at to claim that Trump is homophobic?

00:16:28.800 It's ridiculous.

00:16:29.400 And the other claims are just warmed up, you know, the Charlottesville fine people hoax and ridiculousness.

00:16:37.780 So you've got Bernie who's ripping apart the Democratic Party.

00:16:42.660 Wouldn't you agree?

00:16:43.940 I mean, there's a lot of division with the Democrats.

00:16:46.820 That didn't exist before.

00:16:48.220 And it's not something that Trump made.

00:16:50.280 Trump is out there every day saying, let's get together, we Americans.

00:16:56.300 And that does not include people who came here illegally.

00:16:59.600 That's his message.

00:17:00.460 Like it or not, that's his message.

00:17:03.120 It's all about coming together.

00:17:04.660 But Bernie is all about separating the rich and the poor, making the rich and the poor enemies,

00:17:13.280 making the Republicans look like a bunch of racists and sexists.

00:17:17.880 And it looks to me like Bernie is just ripping the fabric of the country apart to get elected.

00:17:23.280 Am I wrong?

00:17:25.360 Would that look like a biased statement today?

00:17:30.380 Now, if you were looking at candidate Trump in 2015 and comparing him to candidate Sanders in 2020,

00:17:38.920 you'd probably say, oh, you know, there's two candidates who look like they're trying to divide the country.

00:17:46.480 That was candidate Trump.

00:17:48.440 But President Trump is funding the historically black colleges.

00:17:53.440 He's doing prison reform.

00:17:55.420 He's bragging about black unemployment being low.

00:17:58.000 So he doesn't look like he's dividing the country to me.

00:18:02.440 He looks like everything he's doing is to bring it together.

00:18:05.880 And Bernie is working as hard as he can to divide it because that's his path to victory, I imagine he thinks.

00:18:13.700 So certainly we cannot accept that Trump is the one dividing the country.

00:18:20.120 It's just not happening now.

00:18:21.320 Now, if you said he used to be that way and his rhetoric used to be more more dividing, I would say, yeah, that's probably true.

00:18:29.340 I would say that's probably true.

00:18:31.320 It's just not true now.

00:18:34.080 So.

00:18:35.980 Is anybody taking Joe Biden seriously?

00:18:38.180 Did you hear the two things he said this week?

00:18:44.560 I guess he told audiences three times in the last two weeks that he was arrested 40 years ago in South Africa while trying to meet Nelson Mandela.

00:18:55.400 Except there is no evidence independent of him saying it recently that that ever happened.

00:19:03.520 Joe Biden seems to have hallucinated some some history of his own in which he tried to meet Nelson Mandela in South Africa and got arrested.

00:19:16.480 But it's better than that.

00:19:17.760 He also told audiences that his deceased son had been the attorney general of the United States, which he hadn't been.

00:19:27.780 Had he been an attorney general of a state or something?

00:19:34.620 That's probably what he was thinking.

00:19:36.180 I don't know the resume of his deceased son, but those are some pretty big departures from reality.

00:19:44.520 And at this point, I don't think anybody takes Biden seriously, much less his own team.

00:19:49.100 All right.

00:19:49.400 I'm fascinated by how the media moguls are going to handle Bernie Sanders.

00:19:58.360 Let's say you're Jeff Zucker.

00:20:01.520 Jeff Zucker makes a lot of money.

00:20:04.940 Does Jeff Zucker want to live in a world where Bernie Sanders takes Jeff Zucker's money away and gives it to other people?

00:20:13.420 I'm going to say no.

00:20:15.460 I mean, I'm not going to read his mind.

00:20:17.260 I can't read Jeff Zucker's mind.

00:20:18.660 He might be the greatest guy in the world, and he just thinks, you know, other people should take my money.

00:20:24.640 But I suspect that anybody who wanted to have less money so that poor people could have more, they certainly have ways to do that. 0.99

00:20:32.400 It's called charity.

00:20:34.080 You can give away as much of your money as you want.

00:20:37.040 So if Jeff Zucker wanted to give away all his money, he could do that without Bernie Sanders.

00:20:43.360 And I'm guessing that he doesn't want to do that.

00:20:45.280 So what does CNN do when they've got Trump, who is their nemesis?

00:20:51.380 They, of course, have to say bad things about him.

00:20:53.740 That's their business model.

00:20:54.780 But they can't really promote Sanders because he's going to be really expensive for the talent and the owners of CNN, you know, the managers.

00:21:04.600 It would be a disaster for them the same as it would be a disaster for me.

00:21:09.760 You know, I would suffer greatly financially under a Bernie Sanders regime.

00:21:16.100 So I think we're starting to get the answer to that because on CNN, they recently hired Joe Lockhart.

00:21:25.660 And Joe Lockhart writes this article on CNN, their website, saying that Bloomberg needs to take out Bernie and quickly.

00:21:34.340 Can you imagine, that's sort of shocking, isn't it, that they would hire a very anti-Trumper guy, Joe Lockhart, and he's super, you know, super partisan anti-Trumper.

00:21:50.120 And they let him write an opinion piece on CNN, basically anti-Bernie.

00:21:55.460 It's pretty much anti-Bernie.

00:21:59.560 So I think CNN doesn't want to take sides with Bernie.

00:22:04.680 What would that look like?

00:22:06.120 Like, what is their business model even going to look like?

00:22:09.000 Because they had a really clean model, which was Democrats of the world united against this evil Trump guy.

00:22:16.020 And that worked really well.

00:22:17.840 But what if they don't like either one?

00:22:20.100 What do they do?

00:22:21.420 What do they do with that?

00:22:22.620 So I think CNN is going to have to try pretty hard to take Bernie out.

00:22:27.780 And we have this weird enemy of my enemy situation in which CNN and Republicans are going to be on the same side.

00:22:37.780 So look for that.

00:22:41.380 How wonderful is it that the two top candidates to run against Trump, you know, the Democrats had, you know, years to prepare.

00:22:51.120 They knew exactly what they were up against.

00:22:53.920 You know, President Trump is a really well-known quantity.

00:22:57.200 So they knew exactly what kind of candidate would match up well.

00:23:02.420 And what they picked were one billionaire who's got accusations of sexism, racism, and foreign entanglements.

00:23:11.780 Okay, that's one of the choices that they came up with after years of thinking about what would be a good matchup with Trump.

00:23:19.380 And the other one is literally a con man.

00:23:24.520 I mean, there's no other way to say what Bernie is doing.

00:23:28.660 Because I don't think Bernie believes his math works, right?

00:23:34.100 I mean, I hate to be a mind reader because I can't tell what's in his head.

00:23:38.160 But do you get any indication that Bernie Sanders believes that despite what every economist and anybody who can do math tells him,

00:23:48.140 that he alone knows how to make the math work and it'll all work out?

00:23:52.080 So, I don't know.

00:23:56.380 If I had to guess, and again, I'm not a mind reader,

00:24:00.440 but I don't think there's any chance that Bernie thinks that the proposals he's pushing are actually practical.

00:24:07.600 Do you?

00:24:08.940 I mean, he does seem like he acts like a true believer.

00:24:11.120 But my guess is that he wants to push things in that direction, at least as far as they'll go.

00:24:18.880 So, I don't think, and again, this is just speculation because I'm not a mind reader,

00:24:24.520 but I would guess that Bernie wants to push it in that direction as far as it'll go,

00:24:30.500 and he doesn't know how far that is,

00:24:31.920 but probably doesn't think it would go all the way to the extremes that he's promoting.

00:24:37.480 So, I don't know.

00:24:41.520 It looks to me like Bernie is essentially a con artist who's saying,

00:24:46.000 I'm going to take money from other citizens and give it to you if you vote for me.

00:24:50.660 And it just doesn't look like leadership.

00:24:53.900 It just looks like a con.

00:24:55.500 He's just taking money from one pocket and putting it in another,

00:24:58.500 and he's the one who benefits.

00:24:59.720 How in the world will President Trump compete against Bernie saying he would forgive student debt?

00:25:12.760 Because if you're a student, or you have some debt,

00:25:15.480 or even if you have a family member who has a lot of student debt,

00:25:19.320 that's a really attractive thing, right?

00:25:22.500 So, let me suggest one way that President Trump could take the issue of student debt completely off the table.

00:25:31.080 Are you ready for it?

00:25:32.840 Here it is.

00:25:34.520 President Trump could say, and by the way, I don't think he will do this,

00:25:39.140 so I just like thinking through the persuasive techniques.

00:25:43.320 So, this is just a thought experiment.

00:25:44.760 But President Trump could say, you know, Bernie wants to forgive all student debt.

00:25:52.940 I'll tell you what.

00:25:54.800 If the Congress passes such a law, I'll sign it.

00:26:00.960 Now, your first reaction to that is, what the hell?

00:26:04.920 That would put President Trump in the same place as Bernie,

00:26:08.560 just, you know, just wiping off debt of the people who made what looked like the wrong choices,

00:26:16.300 and the people who were hard workers and paid off their debt, they get nothing?

00:26:21.000 They get nothing?

00:26:23.300 You know, and you're suggesting, Scott, that the President should say he would sign such a bill?

00:26:28.380 Here's the thing.

00:26:30.320 If Congress passed it, it would mean that both Democrats and Republicans

00:26:35.320 and the representatives of the people wanted it to happen by majority.

00:26:41.060 If you're the President of the United States,

00:26:44.080 and if you're the President of the United States,

00:26:47.700 and both houses of Congress, or at least the majority,

00:26:51.620 and the people closest to the people say by majority,

00:26:55.600 yeah, we want this law,

00:26:57.260 I kind of think the President ought to sign it, just in general.

00:27:01.280 Now, if it had a, let's say, you know, a national defense element to it,

00:27:07.300 or if it were discriminatory against some disadvantaged group,

00:27:11.720 well, then the President should step in and say,

00:27:14.300 yeah, I get that the will of the people want to do this,

00:27:17.200 but this is mob law, and that's why you have me.

00:27:20.480 You have me to stop mob law.

00:27:22.920 But there's nothing like mob law in this.

00:27:25.080 This would be rational people who look at the choices,

00:27:28.040 and hypothetically, Republicans and Democrats

00:27:31.840 got together in sufficient number to say,

00:27:34.320 yeah, we're going to vote away all of the student debt.

00:27:38.300 Now, I think there's no chance that it would ever happen.

00:27:40.560 So that's the first part.

00:27:41.720 There's no chance it would happen.

00:27:43.240 But what if it did?

00:27:44.940 What if it did?

00:27:47.180 I would say the President should sign it,

00:27:49.860 even if you don't like it,

00:27:52.060 because it would be actually a pretty fair representation

00:27:55.060 of the will of the people.

00:27:56.940 Their representatives would say,

00:27:58.340 you know, my people kind of want this,

00:28:00.560 so I'm going to be for it.

00:28:02.240 I think the President could completely take the issue off the table

00:28:05.580 by saying, you know, Bernie's just saying

00:28:08.300 that if Congress gives him that bill, he'll sign it.

00:28:11.600 Well, guess what?

00:28:12.960 If the public wants it that much

00:28:14.820 that it can get through Congress,

00:28:16.840 I'll sign it too.

00:28:19.180 Takes it completely off the table, right?

00:28:21.320 Because I don't think it would ever get through Congress,

00:28:24.880 but it has to get through Congress,

00:28:26.760 whether it's Bernie or Trump,

00:28:28.720 in order for a president even to be part of the decision.

00:28:33.220 All right.

00:28:36.620 There's a, in no particular order,

00:28:41.500 oh, Tom Cotton was tweeting

00:28:43.820 because apparently China has determined,

00:28:46.580 or at least their current opinion,

00:28:48.520 is that the Wuhan market

00:28:52.740 was not the cause of the coronavirus outbreak.

00:28:56.480 So the current thinking,

00:28:58.220 which I'm sure is subject to revision,

00:29:01.280 but the current thinking

00:29:02.220 is that China doesn't know where it came from,

00:29:04.840 or at least they're not saying

00:29:06.280 they know where it came from.

00:29:08.740 So Tom Cotton got,

00:29:09.900 Senator Tom Cotton got in a little trouble

00:29:11.640 because he had suggested

00:29:13.860 that we can't rule out

00:29:15.660 the Wuhan weapons plant

00:29:18.700 because wouldn't that be a big coincidence

00:29:21.360 that a bioweapon plant

00:29:22.780 was right near where a serious coronavirus broke out.

00:29:29.720 But he wasn't saying,

00:29:31.560 I think that's what it was.

00:29:33.980 He was simply saying,

00:29:35.180 you got to keep that option open.

00:29:36.860 And then the only other option

00:29:38.340 just got eliminated, right?

00:29:40.980 There were only two options on the table

00:29:42.960 that I know of.

00:29:44.460 One was that it came from animals

00:29:46.360 that were not prepared

00:29:48.980 in the safest way, I guess.

00:29:50.860 And the other is it came from a biolab.

00:29:54.560 And we just eliminated animals. 0.78

00:29:57.260 Now that doesn't mean it's the biolab, right?

00:29:59.780 It probably means that we don't know

00:30:01.800 where it came from.

00:30:03.120 And there are probably a thousand ways

00:30:05.660 it could have gotten there

00:30:06.440 that I can't think of.

00:30:08.540 But Tom Cotton,

00:30:10.000 you might be closer to the truth

00:30:11.780 than you thought.

00:30:12.960 All right, so there's some leaked pages

00:30:17.580 from Twitter,

00:30:19.440 meaning because it's a leak,

00:30:21.160 we don't know if Twitter

00:30:21.960 is really planning to do this

00:30:23.660 or if these are just tests and demos.

00:30:27.600 But there are some leaked pages

00:30:29.020 showing at least indicating

00:30:30.700 that Twitter is considering

00:30:32.340 marking untrue things as lies.

00:30:36.560 In other words, highlighting them

00:30:38.960 with, let's say, an orange color

00:30:40.540 and a little tag

00:30:42.280 that says this tweet is not true.

00:30:47.340 Now, my first reaction to that was,

00:30:50.740 huh, that could be kind of helpful.

00:30:53.820 Yeah, I would like to have something flagged.

00:30:56.860 I mean, I'll use my own judgment on it

00:30:58.860 after the fact,

00:30:59.900 but it would help me

00:31:01.140 if they flagged things

00:31:02.500 that at least some other people say

00:31:04.340 are not true.

00:31:05.280 I think that would be useful.

00:31:06.660 I could make up my own mind.

00:31:07.960 I could still see it.

00:31:09.480 You know, I can check links, etc.

00:31:11.280 And then I thought,

00:31:12.780 wait a minute,

00:31:13.720 who gets flagged by whom?

00:31:16.600 So somebody's saying in the comments,

00:31:18.360 then my second thought was,

00:31:20.000 wait a minute.

00:31:21.240 Yeah, who gets to decide?

00:31:23.180 We watch every day

00:31:25.640 as people who are well-meaning

00:31:28.540 can't decide what's true

00:31:29.860 looking at the same information.

00:31:32.220 So I just don't know

00:31:34.020 there's any way to get there.

00:31:35.740 Now, what I wouldn't mind

00:31:36.920 is if there was a point

00:31:39.740 and a counterpoint.

00:31:41.440 You know, if they flagged it in orange

00:31:43.400 and said this is a disputed fact,

00:31:46.340 I would be completely happy

00:31:47.920 with disputed.

00:31:49.800 If at the same time

00:31:51.140 there was a link

00:31:53.240 to the dispute on either side.

00:31:56.260 So if something was flagged

00:31:58.300 as potentially not true

00:32:00.040 and that I could see

00:32:01.400 the people who say it's not true

00:32:02.720 and I could see the argument

00:32:03.820 that says it is true

00:32:04.720 right next to each other,

00:32:06.500 I'd like that.

00:32:07.920 And then I don't have to worry

00:32:09.040 about whether it's true or false.

00:32:10.860 I can simply note

00:32:12.040 that people disagree with it.

00:32:13.400 And I can look.

00:32:15.320 All right.

00:32:16.360 So there might be

00:32:17.060 something good coming.

00:32:17.820 We'll see.

00:32:24.320 Lawrence O'Donnell

00:32:25.360 over at MSNBC,

00:32:27.420 I can't tell if he's lying

00:32:30.480 or crazy

00:32:31.360 or acting.

00:32:33.660 And I'm fascinated by it.

00:32:35.940 I couldn't look away.

00:32:37.680 But he did this big thing

00:32:39.380 saying the president

00:32:40.300 is a Russian operative.

00:32:42.260 This is yesterday.

00:32:44.320 Right?

00:32:44.760 This is not even during

00:32:46.180 the Russia collusion hoax,

00:32:47.740 but as recently as yesterday,

00:32:49.400 I think it was,

00:32:50.040 or the day before.

00:32:51.220 The president is a Russian operative.

00:32:53.340 That sounds like the description

00:32:55.140 of a bad Hollywood screenplay,

00:32:57.340 but it is real

00:32:58.580 and it is Vladimir Putin's

00:33:00.960 greatest achievement.

00:33:03.680 Lawrence O'Donnell

00:33:04.480 actually said that sentence

00:33:05.780 on TV.

00:33:07.740 And then he goes on

00:33:09.860 about how,

00:33:11.000 you know,

00:33:12.420 Putin owns Trump.

00:33:14.580 And I think to myself,

00:33:16.420 does he even believe

00:33:17.720 any of that?

00:33:19.440 I don't,

00:33:19.980 I can't tell.

00:33:21.420 Can you?

00:33:23.060 Does he,

00:33:23.880 because he looks crazy.

00:33:24.780 Like to my eyes,

00:33:28.700 he looks,

00:33:29.360 he looks crazy.

00:33:31.660 Like he,

00:33:32.200 like he's in a cognitive

00:33:33.500 dissonance bubble

00:33:34.620 or,

00:33:35.120 or TDS or something.

00:33:38.000 But it looks

00:33:39.280 actually crazy.

00:33:41.840 So,

00:33:42.280 but who knows?

00:33:43.980 Maybe he's just faking it.

00:33:47.900 James Carville

00:33:49.120 said something

00:33:50.140 that made me pause.

00:33:55.440 No matter what you want

00:33:56.480 to say about James Carville,

00:33:58.160 he is a smart guy

00:34:00.200 and a straight talker.

00:34:01.580 And every now and then

00:34:02.320 he'll just say something

00:34:03.340 that will just knock you

00:34:04.760 off your chair

00:34:05.360 and make you rethink.

00:34:07.220 He's good at that.

00:34:08.720 And here's one of the things

00:34:09.920 he said,

00:34:10.860 that why I didn't think of this,

00:34:12.280 I don't,

00:34:12.680 I don't know.

00:34:13.960 But he said that,

00:34:14.920 that if Russians 0.99

00:34:17.200 are trying to help Bernie,

00:34:19.360 it's not because

00:34:20.460 they want him

00:34:21.020 to be president.

00:34:22.020 It's because they know

00:34:22.820 he's so weak,

00:34:23.620 he'll lose to Trump.

00:34:25.440 So in other words,

00:34:26.320 Carville is saying

00:34:27.160 that Russia 0.72

00:34:28.680 only wants to help Trump

00:34:30.440 and they either

00:34:31.560 do it directly

00:34:32.300 through their,

00:34:34.140 you know,

00:34:34.520 hacking and social media

00:34:35.860 or they do it indirectly

00:34:37.580 by promoting Sanders

00:34:39.340 as the competitor

00:34:40.280 because he doesn't have

00:34:41.140 a chance of winning.

00:34:41.800 And I thought to myself,

00:34:45.540 I had never really thought

00:34:47.880 of that interpretation.

00:34:49.900 And yet it's kind of obvious.

00:34:51.820 It's sitting right there.

00:34:53.420 Why in the world

00:34:54.160 did that not occur to me?

00:34:56.640 And I'm not sure it's true,

00:35:00.580 but I'm shocked

00:35:02.940 that it wasn't obvious to me

00:35:04.780 that Russia,

00:35:06.180 you know,

00:35:06.700 could play

00:35:07.460 the pro-Trump

00:35:08.560 card

00:35:09.580 two different ways

00:35:11.000 by supporting him

00:35:12.020 directly

00:35:12.420 or by

00:35:13.780 supporting

00:35:14.720 Sanders.

00:35:16.640 But here's the thing.

00:35:18.580 National Security Advisor

00:35:20.160 Robert O'Brien,

00:35:22.080 who has access

00:35:24.080 to all the intelligence,

00:35:26.520 says that

00:35:27.280 he's not,

00:35:28.760 he's seen no intelligence

00:35:29.840 to support the claim

00:35:31.180 that

00:35:31.580 that Trump

00:35:34.220 is being helped

00:35:34.960 by Russia.

00:35:36.820 There's no,

00:35:38.080 so one of the guys

00:35:39.040 who has access

00:35:39.800 to all the information

00:35:40.940 says there's nothing there

00:35:43.020 that would suggest

00:35:43.760 Russia

00:35:44.200 is helping Trump.

00:35:46.040 Now,

00:35:46.700 here's what

00:35:47.680 I'm going to add

00:35:48.660 to it

00:35:49.640 that

00:35:50.380 James Carville

00:35:51.420 needs to listen to me.

00:35:53.940 All right,

00:35:54.200 James Carville,

00:35:55.340 I don't think

00:35:56.320 you'll ever see this,

00:35:57.320 but

00:35:57.480 let me give you

00:35:58.900 a twist on this

00:36:00.340 because you

00:36:00.880 sort of blew me away

00:36:01.980 with that

00:36:02.380 fairly obvious insight

00:36:03.860 that for whatever reason

00:36:05.400 escaped

00:36:06.060 my

00:36:06.660 filter.

00:36:09.940 But here's one for you,

00:36:11.080 James Carville.

00:36:13.080 If

00:36:13.480 Russia

00:36:15.200 wanted

00:36:15.820 Trump

00:36:16.580 to get elected,

00:36:18.280 isn't the best

00:36:19.340 thing they could do

00:36:20.200 stay completely

00:36:21.040 out of it?

00:36:22.680 I mean,

00:36:23.060 seriously?

00:36:23.880 Because they're watching

00:36:24.700 the same stuff

00:36:25.360 we're watching

00:36:25.900 and they know

00:36:26.800 who's likely

00:36:27.400 to run against them.

00:36:28.840 I don't think

00:36:29.500 at this point

00:36:30.240 they see anybody

00:36:30.940 who could beat them.

00:36:32.680 So,

00:36:33.100 wouldn't the

00:36:33.800 dumbest,

00:36:34.560 worst,

00:36:35.120 stupidest thing

00:36:36.120 that Russia 0.72

00:36:36.580 could do

00:36:37.120 is clumsily

00:36:38.700 do the same

00:36:39.400 things they did

00:36:40.060 before and

00:36:40.860 easily got caught?

00:36:42.620 In other words,

00:36:43.260 make some memes

00:36:44.080 and try to hack stuff.

00:36:45.780 Apparently,

00:36:46.300 we can catch them

00:36:47.120 when they do that.

00:36:48.740 Why would they

00:36:49.320 do that again?

00:36:50.280 Of all the things

00:36:52.400 that would not

00:36:54.260 help Trump,

00:36:55.080 the worst thing

00:36:56.800 that Russia 0.72

00:36:57.220 could do

00:36:57.780 by far,

00:36:59.300 by 100 to 1,

00:37:00.740 the worst thing

00:37:01.260 they could do

00:37:01.800 is try to help

00:37:03.540 Trump.

00:37:04.580 There's nothing

00:37:05.140 they could do

00:37:05.620 that would be

00:37:05.980 worse than that

00:37:06.640 if they wanted

00:37:07.680 him to get elected.

00:37:09.520 Right?

00:37:10.520 Now,

00:37:11.020 James Carville,

00:37:11.740 what do you say

00:37:12.160 to that?

00:37:12.820 Do you think

00:37:13.260 Russia is 0.79

00:37:14.280 simultaneously

00:37:14.820 so brilliant

00:37:15.900 that they could

00:37:17.040 do all these

00:37:17.520 clever schemes

00:37:18.340 because they're

00:37:19.200 so smart,

00:37:19.980 but at the same

00:37:21.140 time,

00:37:21.520 they're so stupid

00:37:22.440 that the schemes

00:37:24.060 they tried last

00:37:24.840 time were weak

00:37:25.580 and pathetic

00:37:26.080 and had no

00:37:26.660 effect whatsoever

00:37:27.480 and they got

00:37:28.260 caught.

00:37:29.040 Oh,

00:37:29.500 so they're going

00:37:30.020 to do some

00:37:30.460 more of that

00:37:30.900 stuff.

00:37:32.160 The stuff that's

00:37:32.840 weak and pathetic

00:37:33.540 and they're

00:37:34.020 definitely going

00:37:34.520 to get caught

00:37:35.100 because they're

00:37:36.480 such geniuses,

00:37:37.320 that's their

00:37:37.680 plan.

00:37:38.920 None of it

00:37:39.340 makes sense.

00:37:40.420 All right?

00:37:40.620 So you know

00:37:40.980 you're being lied

00:37:41.560 to,

00:37:41.900 we just don't

00:37:42.480 know what the

00:37:42.820 truth is.

00:37:47.420 Let's see

00:37:47.960 what else we

00:37:48.460 got going on.

00:37:52.440 So California

00:37:56.000 might be heading

00:37:58.360 in the right

00:37:58.860 direction on

00:37:59.500 this homelessness

00:38:00.120 stuff.

00:38:00.800 So Gavin Newsom

00:38:01.680 seems to be

00:38:05.620 learning because

00:38:08.300 he's made the

00:38:10.140 homelessness thing

00:38:11.000 a high priority,

00:38:12.060 so that's good.

00:38:13.660 And he's also

00:38:14.640 made some

00:38:15.360 mobile,

00:38:16.520 I guess some

00:38:17.480 mobile trailer

00:38:18.740 homes available

00:38:19.700 for homeless

00:38:20.800 in the short

00:38:21.980 term.

00:38:22.440 And that's

00:38:23.080 good-ish.

00:38:24.760 But remember,

00:38:25.560 it's not really

00:38:26.200 a problem of

00:38:26.900 people finding

00:38:27.540 homes.

00:38:28.700 It's a problem

00:38:29.500 of addiction

00:38:30.080 and mental

00:38:30.860 illness.

00:38:31.760 But it seems

00:38:32.220 that,

00:38:33.160 according to

00:38:34.000 an article by

00:38:34.920 Joel Pollack

00:38:35.760 in Breitbart,

00:38:37.380 it seems that

00:38:38.120 Newsom is

00:38:40.260 looking hard

00:38:42.980 at legislation

00:38:43.920 that would

00:38:44.420 allow a doctor

00:38:45.300 to basically

00:38:46.480 take somebody

00:38:47.220 off the street.

00:38:48.740 Now, I don't

00:38:49.320 know what that

00:38:49.820 would look like,

00:38:50.840 but you know

00:38:51.540 that I think

00:38:53.800 he's getting

00:38:54.220 close to what

00:38:54.920 I would call

00:38:55.320 the Dr.

00:38:56.200 Drew insight

00:38:57.760 about homelessness.

00:38:59.720 And I'm

00:38:59.980 guessing that

00:39:00.760 probably Dr.

00:39:01.540 Drew broke

00:39:02.180 through.

00:39:03.160 I think probably

00:39:04.080 he was the

00:39:04.640 one whose

00:39:06.020 influence on

00:39:07.140 this topic is

00:39:08.320 probably the

00:39:09.100 one that broke

00:39:09.600 through.

00:39:10.520 And that was

00:39:11.620 the idea that

00:39:12.420 you have to

00:39:13.100 deal with the

00:39:13.900 homelessness

00:39:14.280 problem as

00:39:15.140 an addiction

00:39:16.400 and mental

00:39:16.920 health problem.

00:39:17.520 And now

00:39:18.320 Newsom is

00:39:18.840 starting to

00:39:19.340 talk in

00:39:19.760 those terms

00:39:20.460 and talking

00:39:21.560 about needing

00:39:22.100 legislation to

00:39:23.200 effectively force

00:39:24.680 people into

00:39:25.620 treatment.

00:39:26.860 Because if you

00:39:27.620 take away the

00:39:28.560 involuntary part,

00:39:30.320 there's nothing

00:39:30.800 there.

00:39:31.880 There's nothing

00:39:32.400 you can do.

00:39:32.960 You can build

00:39:33.400 houses all day

00:39:34.140 long and people

00:39:35.420 will still have

00:39:36.000 mental health and

00:39:37.000 addiction problems

00:39:37.780 and they won't

00:39:38.260 want to be in

00:39:38.660 those houses or

00:39:39.940 they will ruin

00:39:40.460 them.

00:39:41.640 So, and then

00:39:42.800 the other thing

00:39:43.260 that California is

00:39:43.980 doing is looking

00:39:44.620 to make some

00:39:46.160 state land

00:39:47.060 available for

00:39:48.140 resettling the

00:39:49.960 homeless, but

00:39:51.380 also for some

00:39:52.180 experimenting and

00:39:53.920 also to reduce

00:39:55.740 some of the

00:39:56.240 permitting, make

00:39:57.700 it easier to

00:39:58.420 build a low-cost

00:39:59.720 place just for

00:40:00.740 the homeless.

00:40:02.380 That's all good.

00:40:04.160 That's all pretty

00:40:04.900 good stuff.

00:40:06.240 So, I would

00:40:07.920 say congratulations

00:40:09.460 to Dr. Drew

00:40:10.980 because I think

00:40:11.860 probably Dr. Drew

00:40:13.040 you're the one

00:40:13.620 who broke

00:40:15.100 through and

00:40:15.880 got everybody

00:40:16.660 at least thinking

00:40:17.340 in the right

00:40:17.880 productive line.

00:40:19.620 Still a lot of

00:40:20.240 work to do, but

00:40:20.860 at least the

00:40:21.540 thinking seems to

00:40:22.560 be right.

00:40:23.320 So, that's

00:40:23.700 pretty positive.

00:40:26.840 All right.

00:40:29.540 So, you got

00:40:30.220 that and I

00:40:31.100 think that's

00:40:31.540 about all I

00:40:32.220 was going to

00:40:32.540 talk about

00:40:32.980 today.

00:40:34.840 Anything else

00:40:35.540 happening for

00:40:36.060 you?

00:40:38.640 I'm just

00:40:39.220 looking at

00:40:39.680 your comments

00:40:41.340 now.

00:40:43.620 yeah, providing

00:40:45.440 100 trailers

00:40:46.260 for the

00:40:46.940 10,000 homeless

00:40:49.380 or whatever

00:40:49.960 it is.

00:40:50.600 It's just a

00:40:51.580 small thing, but

00:40:53.260 at least maybe

00:40:53.980 they'll learn

00:40:54.420 something from

00:40:54.960 it.

00:41:01.340 What did

00:41:04.500 Houston do?

00:41:06.240 Somebody says

00:41:06.960 that Houston

00:41:07.420 reduced their

00:41:08.120 homeless, but I

00:41:09.040 don't know

00:41:09.480 about that.

00:41:10.040 talk about

00:41:12.460 AOC.

00:41:14.260 I saw AOC

00:41:15.360 was getting

00:41:15.920 some heat

00:41:17.940 because she

00:41:18.680 wore an

00:41:19.180 expensive-ish

00:41:20.500 dress on the

00:41:21.880 view, but

00:41:23.580 you know,

00:41:24.480 really, you

00:41:25.680 know, if

00:41:25.920 we're mocking

00:41:27.000 women for the 0.99

00:41:28.040 dress they

00:41:28.740 wear, we're

00:41:29.760 just not, I

00:41:31.260 mean, you're

00:41:31.560 just not being

00:41:32.080 productive.

00:41:33.960 So, and by

00:41:34.800 the way, it

00:41:35.240 was a really

00:41:35.680 good dress.

00:41:36.980 So, in

00:41:38.500 terms of

00:41:38.860 fashion, I

00:41:39.660 would say A

00:41:40.220 plus, but

00:41:41.680 otherwise, I

00:41:42.340 don't think we

00:41:42.800 should care about

00:41:43.400 how women 1.00

00:41:44.040 dress.

00:41:46.840 Naval disagrees

00:41:47.840 with me on

00:41:48.500 the slippery

00:41:49.000 slope.

00:41:50.120 Well, I

00:41:50.920 think if we

00:41:51.360 were in the

00:41:51.680 same room, we

00:41:52.440 probably would

00:41:53.040 not disagree.

00:41:53.940 Some of it is

00:41:54.580 just your

00:41:55.160 choice of

00:41:55.800 words.

00:41:56.600 It is true

00:41:57.140 that things

00:41:57.660 sometimes go in

00:41:58.740 one direction,

00:41:59.980 but it's not

00:42:00.960 because there's

00:42:01.900 something called

00:42:02.460 a slippery

00:42:02.940 slope.

00:42:03.380 It's just

00:42:04.020 true that

00:42:04.520 some things

00:42:04.960 will go in

00:42:05.400 one direction

00:42:05.940 until something

00:42:07.160 stops them.

00:42:08.400 It's just a

00:42:08.880 better way to

00:42:09.240 think of it.

00:42:10.540 Yeah, the

00:42:11.000 Phil Haney

00:42:11.700 apparent suicide.

00:42:13.060 I'm kind of

00:42:13.440 watching that

00:42:14.240 story, but

00:42:15.600 you know,

00:42:16.920 people do

00:42:18.560 kill themselves, 0.69

00:42:20.520 so I'm not

00:42:22.240 going to

00:42:22.520 immediately jump

00:42:23.660 into the

00:42:24.260 there's something

00:42:24.940 fishy here.

00:42:25.860 He was a

00:42:26.300 whistleblower,

00:42:27.560 so you

00:42:28.360 definitely have

00:42:29.780 to question

00:42:31.120 that one.

00:42:33.380 Scott, have

00:42:39.220 you ever

00:42:39.480 thought of

00:42:39.900 moving out

00:42:40.480 of California?

00:42:41.420 Yes, I

00:42:42.160 think about it

00:42:42.760 almost every

00:42:43.460 day.

00:42:44.660 You know, if

00:42:45.080 you live in

00:42:45.680 either California

00:42:46.600 or New York

00:42:47.440 and you have a

00:42:48.200 high income, it

00:42:48.900 doesn't make sense

00:42:49.600 anymore because

00:42:51.100 tax-wise, it's a

00:42:52.860 disaster to be in

00:42:54.380 the state.

00:42:55.400 So some of my

00:42:56.180 smartest friends

00:42:57.080 have recently

00:42:58.340 moved out of

00:42:59.100 California to

00:42:59.860 Florida and

00:43:01.520 to Texas.

00:43:03.380 for the

00:43:03.660 better tax

00:43:04.200 treatment.

00:43:07.500 And if I

00:43:08.580 did not have

00:43:09.400 ties locally,

00:43:11.420 I would

00:43:11.780 definitely move.

00:43:13.660 But I have

00:43:14.280 a lot of

00:43:14.980 ties locally.

00:43:20.500 Health care

00:43:21.340 is still a

00:43:21.840 GOP blind

00:43:22.760 spot.

00:43:23.160 Absolutely.

00:43:24.100 You know,

00:43:24.480 if the GOP

00:43:25.700 doesn't offer

00:43:27.260 a good argument

00:43:28.540 for health care,

00:43:29.460 better, a

00:43:31.200 good plan for

00:43:32.220 making it

00:43:32.880 better, Bernie

00:43:34.940 deserves to

00:43:35.540 win, you

00:43:36.640 know, if

00:43:36.960 it's Bernie.

00:43:38.080 So, you

00:43:40.920 know, if the

00:43:41.420 president loses

00:43:42.200 and he doesn't

00:43:44.880 have a good

00:43:45.320 health care

00:43:45.880 argument or

00:43:47.280 plan or

00:43:47.960 persuasion, he's

00:43:48.900 just sort of,

00:43:49.580 you know,

00:43:50.560 abandoning that

00:43:51.480 argument, if that

00:43:52.440 happens, then he

00:43:53.620 deserves to lose

00:43:54.440 because that's a

00:43:56.480 high priority and

00:43:57.340 it's not being

00:43:57.860 addressed.

00:43:58.280 And if the

00:43:58.820 president doesn't

00:43:59.480 address it, well,

00:44:01.320 maybe, maybe

00:44:02.200 Bernie can take a

00:44:02.960 shot at it.

00:44:07.940 Yeah, Clint

00:44:08.860 Eastwood is

00:44:10.140 saying good

00:44:10.940 things about

00:44:11.460 Bloomberg.

00:44:12.040 I don't think

00:44:12.500 Clint Eastwood's

00:44:13.360 opinion matters

00:44:14.100 or any one

00:44:16.200 person's opinion.

00:44:21.520 Yeah, you know,

00:44:22.400 the only thing I

00:44:22.920 don't like about

00:44:23.420 Florida is the 0.79

00:44:24.060 bugs and the

00:44:24.740 humidity.

00:44:25.520 So, if you

00:44:26.100 could get rid of

00:44:26.660 those, maybe

00:44:27.860 you'd have

00:44:28.160 something.

00:44:28.660 And, of

00:44:29.080 course, you've

00:44:31.400 got the

00:44:31.820 hurricanes.

00:44:33.540 All right,

00:44:34.080 that's all for

00:44:36.080 now.

00:44:36.400 I will talk to

00:44:36.900 you all later.

00:44:37.940 here.
