00:00:06.120 Hey everybody!
00:00:08.620 I'm a little late this morning.
00:00:10.880 Wasn't watching my clock.
00:00:13.820 Normally I am, but today I wasn't.
00:00:17.160 Well, we got stuff to talk about today, don't we?
00:00:19.980 Yes we do.
00:00:21.980 Before we do that, excuse me,
00:00:24.440 I would like to invite you to enjoy the simultaneous sip.
00:00:28.260 The thing that binds everybody together,
00:00:30.140 and I think that's important in this age of coronavirus.
00:00:34.680 We're all going to have to stick together to get through this thing.
00:00:38.660 And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stye
00:00:42.800 and a canteen jug or flask or a vessel of any kind.
00:00:45.700 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:48.480 Did you know I like coffee?
00:00:51.320 And get ready for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine to the day,
00:00:57.080 the thing that makes everything better, including the coronavirus.
00:01:02.800 Go.
00:01:07.500 Ah.
00:01:10.780 Well, I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
00:01:13.640 It always feels good to have a sense of control over your life,
00:01:19.280 even if you don't.
00:01:21.920 Because psychologically, you want to feel like you have control,
00:01:25.280 even if that's not exactly true.
00:01:28.800 And that's important today,
00:01:30.560 because we're watching this coronavirus come toward us,
00:01:33.280 and we're saying,
00:01:34.500 well, what do we do?
00:01:35.880 I'd like to do something,
00:01:37.740 if I could.
00:01:39.140 Let me give you a concrete example.
00:01:40.880 If I could find a way,
00:01:43.100 just personally,
00:01:44.280 just me, a voter, an individual, a citizen,
00:01:47.480 if I could find a way to directly protect a senior citizen
00:01:52.940 or a group of them,
00:01:55.440 I'd do it.
00:01:56.480 I don't know exactly how to do that.
00:01:59.000 But if I knew how,
00:02:00.360 I'd do it.
00:02:01.540 We're certainly at a place
00:02:02.780 where standing on the sidelines
00:02:05.080 doesn't make sense anymore.
00:02:06.540 If you're still on the sidelines about the coronavirus,
00:02:10.820 meaning that you're just not paying attention to it
00:02:13.880 or you're not doing anything about it,
00:02:16.200 it's probably time to get off the sidelines.
00:02:18.540 Probably time.
00:02:19.840 Now, I do not caution panic,
00:02:22.360 because I don't think we're there at all.
00:02:25.440 But part of the reason we shouldn't panic
00:02:27.040 is that we're pretty good at dealing with this sort of stuff.
00:02:31.200 This sort of stuff,
00:02:31.980 meaning any kind of emergency.
00:02:33.260 Humans are pretty good at it,
00:02:35.180 and Americans are especially good at it.
00:02:37.960 And I would say you should do at least the following things,
00:02:41.760 at the very least.
00:02:44.060 Take care of yourself.
00:02:46.420 You should.
00:02:47.340 I'll tell you what I'm doing.
00:02:48.680 So every day I'm taking a 45-minute walk in the sun.
00:02:53.360 I'm not over-exercising,
00:02:55.240 because I don't want to lower my resistance.
00:02:57.780 But I'm getting some sun.
00:02:59.160 Maybe the vitamin D helps.
00:03:00.580 Maybe it doesn't,
00:03:01.400 but it makes me feel good.
00:03:02.420 It's good for my health.
00:03:04.900 So I would say take a walk.
00:03:06.640 Don't go to the gym.
00:03:08.700 The gym is,
00:03:10.120 well, well, there are people at the gym.
00:03:12.300 Keep your gym membership.
00:03:13.400 You might need it later.
00:03:14.940 But take a walk.
00:03:16.880 Go for a run.
00:03:17.820 Enjoy the outdoors.
00:03:18.640 Get some sun.
00:03:20.340 It's not just a distraction.
00:03:22.920 It might actually help protect you.
00:03:24.800 Eat right,
00:03:25.500 and make sure you get enough sleep.
00:03:28.600 I know, I know.
00:03:29.540 Somebody telling you to get enough sleep.
00:03:31.560 It's just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:33.660 But getting enough sleep this year,
00:03:37.620 2020, in the age of coronavirus,
00:03:40.000 it actually makes a difference.
00:03:41.960 Because the amount of sleep you get
00:03:43.320 is a big deal to your overall immune situation.
00:03:48.880 Now, I'm not a doctor,
00:03:51.340 and I don't know if any of the things that I'm suggesting
00:03:54.080 makes a big difference.
00:03:56.700 I think it probably makes a difference,
00:03:59.080 but I'm not a doctor,
00:04:00.260 so don't take any medical advice from me.
00:04:02.220 Here's the advice you should take from me.
00:04:03.860 It will make you feel like you're doing something.
00:04:07.700 I think it is, doing something.
00:04:10.420 But the important thing is,
00:04:12.460 you know, if you're feeling a little stressful
00:04:14.300 about what's happening,
00:04:16.020 go do something.
00:04:17.460 Take control.
00:04:18.640 Take control of yourself.
00:04:20.080 Change your situation.
00:04:21.640 Maybe you'll think about bringing in some food,
00:04:24.420 a little extra food, just in case.
00:04:26.420 I personally think we're not going to run out of food.
00:04:31.020 I personally think we're not going to have
00:04:33.060 some kind of a supply line disruption
00:04:35.720 that actually makes life difficult.
00:04:39.140 I think it will be annoying at worst.
00:04:42.680 That's my prediction.
00:04:44.020 But of course, there's a wide range of possibilities,
00:04:46.200 and you should be ready for all of them.
00:04:51.080 Yesterday, I did an extended interview
00:04:53.900 with Naval Ravikant.
00:04:56.280 I don't know that that's posted yet,
00:04:58.340 and I will tweet it when it is.
00:04:59.980 So I did that offline.
00:05:01.780 I still cannot find any technology
00:05:04.460 that will allow me to create
00:05:07.320 a good side-by-side interview
00:05:09.200 in a reliable way.
00:05:11.720 There are a number of ways to do it,
00:05:13.900 but none of them are reliable.
00:05:15.620 They all require, you know,
00:05:17.740 kludgy combinations of third-party software
00:05:20.380 and things that don't always work.
00:05:22.700 So I recorded that just using Zoom
00:05:26.360 and put that...
00:05:29.020 That'll be up sometime today.
00:05:30.260 I'll tweet about it when it's up.
00:05:31.980 If you don't know Naval,
00:05:33.940 well, you should.
00:05:36.280 So Naval is one of the...
00:05:38.160 I was trying to think yesterday,
00:05:39.420 how many people would be known
00:05:41.040 in the tech world?
00:05:43.580 Let's just, you know, keep it there.
00:05:46.460 In the tech world,
00:05:47.460 how many people would you identify
00:05:49.340 by their first name?
00:05:51.940 Well, there's Jack, right?
00:05:54.160 Jack Dorsey.
00:05:54.840 Everybody identifies him by first name.
00:05:58.160 There's Elon.
00:06:00.080 It has more to do with the fact
00:06:01.360 that it's a unique name.
00:06:03.320 And then there's Naval.
00:06:04.720 And I was trying to think of another one,
00:06:06.260 and I couldn't,
00:06:07.080 because they're either common names
00:06:08.520 like Bill or Steve or Mark or something.
00:06:11.200 So Naval is the clearest thinker
00:06:15.280 I've ever known.
00:06:17.700 So if you're trying to figure out
00:06:19.240 how to think about a situation,
00:06:22.260 listen to whatever he says,
00:06:24.300 and then at least consider it,
00:06:25.840 because it's going to be a clearer,
00:06:28.700 wider, and deeper view
00:06:30.320 than probably whatever you started with.
00:06:33.120 He's remarkable that way.
00:06:35.080 So I wanted to get his thoughts
00:06:36.420 on the coronavirus,
00:06:37.740 not because he's a scientist,
00:06:39.360 not because I'm a scientist,
00:06:41.120 but because sometimes you just need people
00:06:43.200 to package things
00:06:44.300 in the way that helps you the most.
00:06:48.440 So think of it that way,
00:06:49.620 framing the situation,
00:06:50.820 packaging it,
00:06:51.600 helping you see it through
00:06:52.560 a couple of different windows,
00:06:55.340 that sort of thing.
00:06:56.620 All right.
00:06:57.040 I don't know if we have fully understood
00:07:07.280 how powerful President Trump's pardons are
00:07:11.380 for the entire political system.
00:07:15.500 Here's my point.
00:07:17.000 If a politician does something
00:07:19.560 that's good for,
00:07:20.380 let's say it's a good policy,
00:07:22.380 then people say,
00:07:23.560 hey, that politician made a good policy.
00:07:25.740 And if it's a good policy,
00:07:26.600 let's say for the black citizens
00:07:28.860 of this country,
00:07:30.300 people might say,
00:07:31.060 that's a good policy for black people.
00:07:33.700 That helps us more than other people.
00:07:38.940 But a policy is sort of impersonal.
00:07:42.680 It doesn't really tell you
00:07:44.160 about the person who was behind it.
00:07:46.160 Maybe they did it
00:07:46.860 just for political purposes or whatever,
00:07:48.560 but it feels like just doing their job.
00:07:51.820 But these pardons
00:07:53.280 things that Kim Kardashian
00:07:55.020 is working out with President Trump,
00:07:57.540 I guess there were three more,
00:07:59.460 three more in addition
00:08:00.580 to the one with Alice Johnson
00:08:02.420 that Kim Kardashian got.
00:08:04.860 And I want to say
00:08:05.600 a couple of things about that.
00:08:06.520 First of all,
00:08:07.840 my God,
00:08:09.020 Kim Kardashian,
00:08:10.060 what a great citizen.
00:08:13.540 I'm always impressed
00:08:14.500 by somebody
00:08:15.000 who doesn't have to do the work.
00:08:17.620 Somebody who doesn't have
00:08:18.780 to do the hard work.
00:08:20.600 Kim Kardashian doesn't have
00:08:22.040 to do anything
00:08:22.900 for anybody else.
00:08:25.140 She has what she needs.
00:08:26.980 She's good at it,
00:08:28.060 very good at it.
00:08:29.280 She doesn't have to help the public,
00:08:31.160 and she certainly doesn't have
00:08:32.200 to help specific individuals,
00:08:35.120 but she is.
00:08:37.140 So Kim Kardashian continues
00:08:39.600 to rise in my opinion
00:08:42.860 of one of the best people around.
00:08:44.980 And we should recognize that.
00:08:48.220 But here's my point.
00:08:49.960 President Trump
00:08:50.680 is giving pardons
00:08:52.480 to individuals.
00:08:54.440 That's different
00:08:55.560 from having a program.
00:08:58.680 Program's good.
00:08:59.920 You should do that if you can.
00:09:02.100 But there's something
00:09:03.640 far more powerful
00:09:05.040 about individual pardons.
00:09:07.640 And here's why.
00:09:09.080 If you're trying to decide,
00:09:11.120 hey, what's in President Trump's mind?
00:09:13.380 What's he thinking?
00:09:16.040 Is he privately disliking
00:09:18.220 people who look like me?
00:09:19.940 Because that's what
00:09:20.960 his critics say, right?
00:09:22.520 The critics say,
00:09:23.500 well, in his mind,
00:09:25.120 his secret thoughts,
00:09:27.340 he's really kind of racist.
00:09:29.720 That's what his critics say.
00:09:31.560 Now, if all he did
00:09:32.680 was support a policy
00:09:33.760 that was good for minorities,
00:09:35.500 would you say,
00:09:36.080 well, that proves
00:09:36.760 he's not a racist?
00:09:38.400 Maybe not.
00:09:40.140 You'd say, well,
00:09:41.220 I don't know,
00:09:41.600 that's just sort of
00:09:42.200 doing his job.
00:09:43.040 There were a lot of votes
00:09:44.060 for that policy.
00:09:45.440 He was just agreeing
00:09:46.600 with his party.
00:09:47.600 It doesn't say anything
00:09:48.420 about the politician.
00:09:50.940 But when he,
00:09:51.720 but when the president
00:09:52.460 looks at an individual person
00:09:54.240 and pardons that individual person,
00:09:57.920 that's personal.
00:09:59.520 It's completely personal.
00:10:02.940 And you,
00:10:03.500 and I think you register it differently.
00:10:05.240 And I think the president knows that,
00:10:06.700 which is probably why he's doing it
00:10:08.320 and probably why he's doing it now.
00:10:10.520 So it's never not political,
00:10:13.040 but you register it very differently.
00:10:16.080 A personal act for a range,
00:10:19.680 now there have been four of them,
00:10:21.540 four of them just through Kim Kardashian.
00:10:24.900 I'm not sure how many others.
00:10:27.180 But when you see the president
00:10:28.320 pardoning people
00:10:29.760 on an individual basis like that,
00:10:31.900 and these are people
00:10:32.880 who were in jail for real crimes.
00:10:35.360 These were not people
00:10:36.560 who were unfairly accused.
00:10:39.980 They may have been over,
00:10:41.420 over sentenced,
00:10:43.320 but they certainly did the crimes.
00:10:45.820 And it just looks like
00:10:48.320 it's hard to reconcile in your head
00:10:51.020 how could this man be a racist
00:10:55.020 while he's doing,
00:10:57.140 you know,
00:10:57.460 one black woman,
00:10:59.380 I think they're all black women,
00:11:01.320 after another pardoning them
00:11:03.320 for actual crimes.
00:11:05.700 You know,
00:11:05.940 again,
00:11:06.460 these are reasonable pardons.
00:11:07.940 They fall,
00:11:08.340 they fall easily within the,
00:11:09.940 the realm that a reasonable person
00:11:12.120 will say,
00:11:12.580 yeah,
00:11:12.820 I can see that.
00:11:14.040 I can see that.
00:11:17.220 So,
00:11:17.820 I just wanted to point that out
00:11:18.880 for its persuasion power.
00:11:20.280 It's way more powerful
00:11:21.280 than you think.
00:11:22.400 And at this point,
00:11:23.320 I think we're going to,
00:11:24.160 we're going to be surprised
00:11:25.320 at how many black votes
00:11:27.700 President Trump gets.
00:11:29.320 Because it's little stuff like this.
00:11:31.220 It just,
00:11:31.600 it's just really powerful.
00:11:33.660 And then he's got,
00:11:34.880 you know,
00:11:35.140 other things that he can,
00:11:36.580 he can look to.
00:11:37.280 So he's got a good record going.
00:11:39.540 I'm happy about that.
00:11:41.100 So here's some more stuff.
00:11:44.240 The Federalist
00:11:45.420 has been
00:11:47.500 in a couple different ways.
00:11:50.380 Molly Hemingway,
00:11:51.100 who works there,
00:11:51.700 and also Sean Davis.
00:11:52.780 I think he's the founder,
00:11:54.320 a founder,
00:11:55.240 publisher,
00:11:55.700 editor.
00:11:56.640 One of those things,
00:11:57.880 or two of those things,
00:11:58.780 or three of them.
00:11:59.320 And here's Sean Davis's tweet.
00:12:04.400 He said,
00:12:04.800 if only Bloomberg had hired Russians
00:12:06.560 to buy $100,000
00:12:08.360 in barely literate Facebook ads,
00:12:11.320 instead of spending $700 million,
00:12:13.380 he'd be president now.
00:12:15.720 That's what the media have told us
00:12:17.440 for three plus years.
00:12:19.240 So here's the question.
00:12:20.920 Did Bloomberg prove that money
00:12:23.200 can't buy an election?
00:12:25.620 Or,
00:12:26.820 did he prove that it can?
00:12:28.720 It just didn't work in this case.
00:12:30.880 I would argue
00:12:31.940 very strongly
00:12:33.600 that he proved it can.
00:12:36.720 He just didn't win.
00:12:38.500 Now these,
00:12:39.060 Trump,
00:12:40.640 you know,
00:12:41.160 Trump only won by a narrow margin
00:12:42.760 in a few battleground states,
00:12:45.000 if you take it down to that level.
00:12:47.300 could a Bloomberg level
00:12:51.480 spending
00:12:53.860 have changed that result?
00:12:57.140 Probably.
00:12:58.200 I mean,
00:12:58.600 Bloomberg went from nothing
00:12:59.720 to the teens
00:13:01.080 in support.
00:13:03.000 That's a pretty big move
00:13:04.720 from zero to the teens
00:13:06.460 without any prior experience
00:13:08.600 in this sort of thing.
00:13:11.160 So,
00:13:11.600 I think that Bloomberg
00:13:12.920 proved money makes a difference,
00:13:15.160 but you still need a candidate.
00:13:17.300 You can't get away,
00:13:18.500 you can't get away with that.
00:13:20.300 So I think everybody
00:13:21.080 who says money didn't work,
00:13:22.940 you're really ignoring
00:13:24.080 the candidate here.
00:13:26.240 Let me put it this way.
00:13:28.920 If you put me
00:13:30.200 in the presidential race
00:13:31.440 with 700 million,
00:13:34.220 I think I'd have gotten
00:13:35.980 in the top two.
00:13:37.940 Maybe not,
00:13:38.780 maybe not top one,
00:13:40.460 but I'm pretty sure
00:13:41.580 I could have gotten
00:13:42.180 into the top two
00:13:43.220 with 700 million dollars
00:13:45.440 because I would be
00:13:46.240 a better candidate
00:13:47.040 than Bloomberg.
00:13:48.440 And by the way,
00:13:49.700 I don't think
00:13:50.280 I would be a good candidate.
00:13:52.460 You know,
00:13:52.840 on a scale of one to ten,
00:13:53.980 I'd be a six
00:13:57.640 on my best day.
00:13:59.940 If someone,
00:14:00.560 you know,
00:14:01.080 was generous,
00:14:02.320 they may say
00:14:03.140 I'm a seven and a ten.
00:14:05.000 But Bloomberg was a three.
00:14:06.980 He was a three.
00:14:08.080 He was really terrible
00:14:08.880 at that.
00:14:09.620 I mean,
00:14:09.900 really terrible
00:14:10.540 as a politician,
00:14:12.840 leader type,
00:14:13.460 public speaker
00:14:14.900 and debater.
00:14:16.600 So,
00:14:17.480 it's very funny
00:14:18.560 to mock the Russians
00:14:19.820 and their $100,000
00:14:20.860 of barely literate
00:14:22.060 Facebook ads,
00:14:22.940 which I do believe
00:14:24.520 had no impact
00:14:25.380 whatsoever.
00:14:26.440 Because,
00:14:26.880 you know,
00:14:27.480 how many of those people
00:14:28.740 in the battleground states
00:14:30.100 saw a Russia
00:14:31.980 Facebook ad,
00:14:33.780 barely literate,
00:14:35.060 and said,
00:14:35.720 you know,
00:14:36.880 I changed my mind.
00:14:37.800 I'm going to go
00:14:39.240 for Trump.
00:14:40.460 Nobody.
00:14:43.040 All right.
00:14:44.480 Trump is getting in trouble
00:14:45.700 for saying he has a hunch,
00:14:47.940 hunch being the key word here,
00:14:50.080 that the coronavirus
00:14:51.220 virality
00:14:53.060 is not as high
00:14:54.200 as the scientists
00:14:55.100 are saying at the moment.
00:14:57.220 And,
00:14:57.700 of course,
00:14:58.060 what do the Democrats say
00:14:59.460 when the president says,
00:15:01.080 I have a hunch
00:15:01.700 it's not as bad
00:15:02.800 as the scientists
00:15:04.020 are saying?
00:15:05.380 Well,
00:15:05.880 of course,
00:15:06.200 this plays into
00:15:06.940 their narrative.
00:15:07.920 He's the anti-science guy.
00:15:10.040 Why is he
00:15:10.960 saying the scientists
00:15:12.440 are wrong
00:15:13.100 with his no knowledge
00:15:14.280 whatsoever?
00:15:15.560 Well,
00:15:16.060 I don't think
00:15:16.500 it's no knowledge.
00:15:17.880 Because you know
00:15:18.440 what I think?
00:15:19.860 Same thing
00:15:20.520 the president thinks.
00:15:22.020 Do you know
00:15:22.360 what lots of
00:15:23.480 reasonable observers
00:15:24.460 think?
00:15:25.680 Same thing
00:15:26.240 the president thinks.
00:15:27.600 Do you think
00:15:28.200 the president
00:15:28.660 came up with
00:15:29.280 this opinion
00:15:29.840 completely on his own
00:15:31.860 and that there was
00:15:33.140 nobody who was
00:15:33.880 an expert in the room
00:15:35.000 who had ever said,
00:15:36.480 well,
00:15:36.640 you know,
00:15:36.780 there's a good
00:15:38.320 chance it could be
00:15:38.980 lower?
00:15:40.820 We don't know.
00:15:42.660 But I would be
00:15:43.520 very surprised
00:15:44.460 if the president
00:15:45.340 is just ignoring
00:15:46.400 100% of experts
00:15:48.080 and just making up
00:15:49.520 a hunch
00:15:49.960 for whatever reason.
00:15:52.320 Now,
00:15:53.040 here's what we know
00:15:54.480 that's new.
00:15:56.280 That's sort of
00:15:57.040 a good news,
00:15:57.600 bad news,
00:15:58.100 and plays into
00:15:58.700 this part.
00:16:00.040 Apparently,
00:16:00.560 the coronavirus
00:16:01.460 has split into
00:16:02.420 two major
00:16:03.820 evolutionary trees
00:16:05.620 with lots of
00:16:06.940 variety,
00:16:08.200 but they're
00:16:08.500 two main
00:16:09.320 strains now.
00:16:11.580 And the
00:16:12.160 70%,
00:16:13.580 let's see,
00:16:15.640 is it,
00:16:17.280 I don't want to
00:16:18.720 get the numbers
00:16:19.300 wrong,
00:16:19.620 so let me just
00:16:20.120 say this.
00:16:21.600 One of the strains
00:16:22.740 is really bad,
00:16:24.220 and one of them
00:16:24.800 is mild.
00:16:26.740 But here's the
00:16:27.700 fun part.
00:16:29.820 This isn't fun.
00:16:30.960 Let me take that
00:16:31.740 word back,
00:16:33.040 erase that word.
00:16:33.780 There's nothing
00:16:34.300 fun about the
00:16:35.080 coronavirus.
00:16:36.660 Here's the
00:16:37.260 interesting part.
00:16:39.920 The bad one
00:16:41.000 seems mostly
00:16:41.940 limited to China,
00:16:43.460 and the weaker
00:16:44.720 one seems to be
00:16:45.640 the one that's
00:16:46.160 spreading.
00:16:47.040 Now,
00:16:47.240 is that a
00:16:47.620 coincidence?
00:16:49.100 It could be.
00:16:50.060 It could be just
00:16:50.760 a coincidence.
00:16:51.860 But,
00:16:52.540 here's me not
00:16:54.960 being a scientist
00:16:55.700 and trying to
00:16:56.400 understand things
00:16:57.160 I've heard.
00:16:58.320 We're all
00:16:59.000 struggling to
00:16:59.700 try to wrestle
00:17:01.060 with the
00:17:02.220 science of it,
00:17:03.080 and we're
00:17:03.300 not scientists,
00:17:04.180 so forgive me
00:17:05.480 in advance
00:17:06.040 for whatever
00:17:07.540 I get wrong
00:17:08.160 in this next
00:17:08.940 part.
00:17:10.260 But my
00:17:10.720 understanding is
00:17:11.480 that there are
00:17:11.940 certain strains
00:17:12.920 of viruses
00:17:13.500 that would be
00:17:14.840 more compatible
00:17:16.460 with or more
00:17:17.760 viral with
00:17:18.780 certain genetic
00:17:19.800 conditions.
00:17:21.520 In other words,
00:17:22.060 if you were
00:17:22.500 Chinese,
00:17:23.700 it could be
00:17:24.420 you're more
00:17:24.800 likely to get
00:17:25.400 one strain
00:17:26.060 than the other.
00:17:26.680 because I've
00:17:28.700 heard,
00:17:29.120 but I'm not
00:17:29.580 a scientist,
00:17:30.180 so I need a
00:17:30.640 fact check on
00:17:31.260 this,
00:17:31.860 I've heard that
00:17:32.540 some strains
00:17:33.280 can have a
00:17:34.360 preference for
00:17:35.420 some genetic
00:17:36.280 types.
00:17:37.980 So it's
00:17:38.600 entirely possible
00:17:39.540 that China is
00:17:40.380 going to get
00:17:40.820 the bulk of
00:17:42.340 the worst
00:17:42.880 kind.
00:17:43.620 It's not
00:17:43.940 completely
00:17:44.380 restricted,
00:17:45.200 so both of
00:17:45.860 them are
00:17:46.160 everywhere,
00:17:47.160 but it's
00:17:47.900 very dominant
00:17:48.620 in China,
00:17:50.000 and it's
00:17:50.320 the opposite
00:17:51.340 outside of
00:17:51.960 China.
00:17:52.900 So one of
00:17:53.520 the possibilities,
00:17:55.040 and it's way
00:17:55.520 too early to
00:17:56.140 say that this
00:17:56.640 is likely,
00:17:57.940 but certainly
00:17:58.520 one of the
00:17:58.920 possibilities is
00:18:00.200 that the
00:18:00.540 United States
00:18:01.260 and maybe
00:18:01.640 other countries
00:18:02.240 will be hit
00:18:03.260 primarily with
00:18:04.300 a weaker
00:18:04.620 version.
00:18:05.900 Now the
00:18:06.140 other thing
00:18:06.500 that I don't
00:18:06.940 know about,
00:18:09.060 and I would
00:18:09.880 love a fact
00:18:10.520 check on this
00:18:11.100 if there's
00:18:11.440 somebody in the
00:18:13.060 medical community
00:18:13.960 or scientific
00:18:14.540 who can answer
00:18:15.240 this,
00:18:16.060 if you get
00:18:16.960 the weak
00:18:17.520 strain of
00:18:19.760 the coronavirus,
00:18:21.140 would it
00:18:21.540 give you
00:18:21.880 any protection
00:18:22.840 against catching
00:18:24.780 the stronger
00:18:25.640 version later?
00:18:27.440 That's a
00:18:27.960 pretty important
00:18:28.420 question.
00:18:29.860 And if
00:18:30.480 anybody could
00:18:30.940 get back to
00:18:31.580 me on
00:18:31.880 Twitter,
00:18:33.200 I would like
00:18:34.280 to know that.
00:18:35.360 Now it could
00:18:35.720 be it's so
00:18:36.100 different it
00:18:36.460 doesn't help
00:18:36.860 you at all,
00:18:37.380 so we'll
00:18:37.760 find out.
00:18:40.600 Now the
00:18:41.220 president,
00:18:42.780 here's why this
00:18:44.260 ties into the
00:18:45.040 other thing I
00:18:45.620 was saying about
00:18:46.060 the president's
00:18:46.760 hunch.
00:18:47.640 If it's true
00:18:48.480 that there's a
00:18:49.060 mild version,
00:18:50.800 that it's also
00:18:51.500 true there could
00:18:52.620 be lots of
00:18:53.640 people infected
00:18:54.340 who are just
00:18:56.360 unaware of it.
00:18:57.740 And if that's
00:18:58.480 the case,
00:18:59.280 then the
00:18:59.600 virality,
00:19:01.180 you know,
00:19:02.180 it may have a
00:19:03.020 different denominator
00:19:03.980 than we think,
00:19:04.960 at least in terms
00:19:05.500 of the deadly
00:19:05.940 part.
00:19:07.040 So we're
00:19:08.800 going to have
00:19:09.080 this blended
00:19:09.740 death rate that
00:19:12.420 we probably
00:19:12.840 shouldn't.
00:19:13.660 Maybe it'll
00:19:14.160 change.
00:19:14.900 But we should
00:19:15.420 have one
00:19:15.860 death rate
00:19:16.480 that's the
00:19:17.260 bad version
00:19:18.160 of the
00:19:18.520 coronavirus,
00:19:19.780 the worst
00:19:20.280 one,
00:19:20.520 and another
00:19:21.420 death rate
00:19:21.900 for the
00:19:22.220 milder
00:19:22.600 version.
00:19:23.560 And then if
00:19:23.920 you get one
00:19:24.520 versus the
00:19:25.120 other,
00:19:25.600 or if you're
00:19:26.080 someplace where
00:19:26.780 one is more
00:19:27.360 prevalent than
00:19:27.900 the other,
00:19:29.400 that's better
00:19:29.980 information.
00:19:30.780 But if you
00:19:31.180 combine those
00:19:31.880 two,
00:19:32.340 I think you
00:19:32.860 get a
00:19:33.200 nonsense
00:19:33.540 average.
00:19:35.020 So what we
00:19:35.460 have at the
00:19:35.980 moment,
00:19:36.920 I think,
00:19:38.840 is a
00:19:39.280 nonsense
00:19:39.780 average of
00:19:41.600 two different
00:19:42.260 strains that
00:19:43.080 operate quite
00:19:43.780 differently.
00:19:45.160 Am I wrong?
00:19:46.100 Am I wrong
00:19:46.640 that we have
00:19:47.120 a nonsense
00:19:47.620 average at the
00:19:48.840 moment?
00:19:49.620 So when the
00:19:50.060 president says
00:19:50.680 his hunch
00:19:51.140 is it's
00:19:52.780 going to
00:19:53.000 look different,
00:19:53.860 that could
00:19:54.700 be because
00:19:55.200 there's a
00:19:55.580 lot of
00:19:55.820 this less
00:19:56.960 viral or
00:19:58.820 less deadly
00:19:59.400 version.
00:20:00.840 I may be
00:20:01.360 mixing up
00:20:01.900 what's deadly
00:20:03.220 versus what's
00:20:04.000 viral.
00:20:05.440 The mild
00:20:06.600 version is
00:20:07.280 less deadly.
00:20:08.940 I'm not
00:20:09.720 entirely sure
00:20:10.400 if it's less
00:20:10.940 viral.
00:20:11.660 That's a
00:20:12.080 separate question.
00:20:14.220 All right.
00:20:15.260 I have
00:20:15.740 heard twice
00:20:16.600 the...
00:20:18.400 Now I'm
00:20:19.940 not going
00:20:20.180 to say
00:20:20.340 this.
00:20:20.940 I'm
00:20:21.060 sorry.
00:20:21.600 I started
00:20:21.940 something,
00:20:22.400 but I'm
00:20:22.560 not going
00:20:22.820 to tell
00:20:23.000 you.
00:20:23.560 I've
00:20:23.760 told you
00:20:24.000 before that
00:20:24.460 one of the
00:20:25.460 ways I
00:20:25.780 trace my
00:20:26.400 influence is
00:20:27.700 by looking
00:20:28.100 for unique
00:20:29.200 word choices.
00:20:30.900 And I'm
00:20:31.440 seeing some
00:20:32.060 of my unique
00:20:32.740 word choices
00:20:33.420 out in the
00:20:33.920 wild, but I'm
00:20:35.100 not going to
00:20:35.420 tell you what
00:20:35.780 it is until
00:20:36.900 later.
00:20:38.500 But it looks
00:20:39.120 like it's
00:20:39.440 getting out
00:20:39.800 there.
00:20:40.500 All right.
00:20:41.320 You know,
00:20:41.880 the big news
00:20:42.480 of the day.
00:20:43.780 You know,
00:20:44.320 I could not
00:20:44.880 be more
00:20:45.320 bored by this.
00:20:46.400 It's the
00:20:47.020 headline.
00:20:47.880 Everybody's
00:20:48.220 talking about it.
00:20:48.880 So Schumer
00:20:50.440 stood in front
00:20:52.260 of the Supreme
00:20:52.840 Court and
00:20:54.120 threatened by
00:20:55.160 name, by
00:20:56.700 name, Gorsuch
00:20:57.980 and Kavanaugh
00:20:58.780 for they're
00:21:00.120 working on
00:21:00.680 some kind of
00:21:01.240 case with
00:21:01.920 reproductive
00:21:02.300 rights,
00:21:03.120 abortion.
00:21:04.520 And Schumer
00:21:05.460 actually threatened
00:21:07.000 them by name
00:21:07.880 and said,
00:21:08.460 you know,
00:21:09.700 that the
00:21:10.420 whirlwind would
00:21:12.120 be released and
00:21:13.100 they'd pay for
00:21:14.440 it somehow.
00:21:14.820 Now, here's
00:21:16.660 the thing.
00:21:18.020 We live in
00:21:19.000 a gotcha
00:21:20.480 world and
00:21:21.140 gotcha times and
00:21:22.240 a gotcha
00:21:23.140 election year.
00:21:24.440 So, of course,
00:21:25.340 everybody on the
00:21:26.820 conservative side
00:21:27.880 jumped all over
00:21:29.520 him and said,
00:21:30.200 my God, if
00:21:31.140 Trump had said
00:21:32.060 this, it'd be
00:21:33.080 impeachment time.
00:21:34.140 It probably
00:21:34.480 would.
00:21:35.100 If any
00:21:35.540 Republican had
00:21:36.300 said this, it
00:21:37.440 would be the
00:21:37.820 end of the
00:21:38.180 world.
00:21:39.380 Kind of would
00:21:40.180 be.
00:21:42.200 But I
00:21:43.060 watched it
00:21:43.700 live.
00:21:45.120 If you watch
00:21:45.760 it live, first
00:21:46.540 of all, it's
00:21:47.060 hard to figure
00:21:47.460 out what's
00:21:47.820 going on because
00:21:48.600 his staff just
00:21:49.460 lied about it
00:21:50.140 and said, oh,
00:21:50.620 he was talking
00:21:51.100 about politicians.
00:21:53.560 He wasn't
00:21:53.900 talking about
00:21:54.380 the Supreme
00:21:54.820 Court.
00:21:55.540 But that was
00:21:56.080 just a bold
00:21:56.600 faced lie because
00:21:57.740 if you look at
00:21:58.420 it, he named
00:21:59.020 the Supreme
00:21:59.580 Court members
00:22:00.180 by name.
00:22:02.160 There's no
00:22:03.020 ambiguity about
00:22:03.940 who he was
00:22:04.320 talking about.
00:22:04.780 He named
00:22:05.160 them.
00:22:06.360 So he
00:22:07.900 names them
00:22:08.440 and then he
00:22:09.560 goes into
00:22:09.960 this threatening
00:22:10.700 kind of thing
00:22:11.380 if they make
00:22:11.880 the wrong
00:22:12.220 decision.
00:22:13.420 But if you
00:22:14.160 watched his
00:22:14.960 performance, you
00:22:16.740 could see that
00:22:17.280 he had a
00:22:17.660 smile.
00:22:19.180 So he was
00:22:20.000 doing a
00:22:20.700 performance and
00:22:21.760 it was that.
00:22:22.900 He was
00:22:23.600 performing for
00:22:24.500 a crowd.
00:22:25.020 It was
00:22:25.280 theater and
00:22:26.820 he had a
00:22:27.180 smile on his
00:22:27.840 face even
00:22:28.380 though he
00:22:28.680 was talking
00:22:29.200 angrily about
00:22:30.220 all the bad
00:22:31.780 things that are
00:22:32.260 happening and
00:22:32.740 what they'll
00:22:33.060 do.
00:22:33.820 But he
00:22:34.200 literally had a
00:22:34.760 smile the
00:22:35.260 whole time.
00:22:36.440 He wasn't
00:22:37.320 even a little
00:22:38.420 bit serious.
00:22:40.440 He was
00:22:40.760 just playing
00:22:41.140 to the
00:22:41.400 crowd.
00:22:42.300 Now here's
00:22:42.660 my hypothesis
00:22:45.560 because what
00:22:47.240 you really
00:22:47.580 wonder is what
00:22:48.120 the hell was
00:22:48.580 he thinking?
00:22:49.760 Right?
00:22:50.240 What was he
00:22:50.960 thinking?
00:22:52.160 Was he
00:22:52.820 actually thinking
00:22:53.900 that he would
00:22:54.880 get revenge on
00:22:55.940 a life-appointed
00:22:57.160 Supreme Court
00:22:58.120 judge and that
00:22:59.260 he was going to
00:22:59.800 say it in public
00:23:00.600 before he did
00:23:01.300 it?
00:23:02.960 That doesn't
00:23:03.800 seem realistic.
00:23:04.600 think.
00:23:05.220 So it
00:23:05.560 doesn't seem
00:23:06.080 realistic that
00:23:07.900 he intended
00:23:08.520 it the way
00:23:09.320 it has been
00:23:10.120 taken in
00:23:10.660 its worst
00:23:11.120 way.
00:23:12.520 But what
00:23:12.880 the hell
00:23:13.120 was he
00:23:13.500 thinking?
00:23:14.720 What possible
00:23:16.240 interpretation
00:23:16.960 could you put
00:23:17.580 on that
00:23:18.020 that doesn't
00:23:19.540 make it
00:23:19.860 evil?
00:23:21.160 I will give
00:23:22.000 you one.
00:23:23.620 He was
00:23:24.060 talking without
00:23:24.800 thinking.
00:23:26.380 That's it.
00:23:27.300 I think that's
00:23:27.860 the whole
00:23:28.080 explanation.
00:23:28.580 I believe
00:23:30.600 that he was
00:23:31.080 getting caught
00:23:31.560 up in his
00:23:32.020 own rhetoric
00:23:32.580 and when he
00:23:33.920 thought of
00:23:34.360 this you'll
00:23:35.340 reap the
00:23:35.760 whirlwind or
00:23:36.480 something like
00:23:37.020 if you sow
00:23:38.160 the whirlwind
00:23:38.880 you'll reap
00:23:39.620 it or whatever
00:23:40.120 that saying
00:23:40.620 is.
00:23:41.060 I feel like
00:23:41.340 Joe Biden
00:23:41.780 now.
00:23:42.060 I can't
00:23:42.240 remember
00:23:42.500 common
00:23:42.860 sayings.
00:23:43.980 But I
00:23:45.240 think that
00:23:46.020 he sort
00:23:46.860 of fell in
00:23:47.520 love with
00:23:47.900 his own
00:23:48.260 rhetoric and
00:23:49.880 then he
00:23:50.400 knew he
00:23:50.820 was talking
00:23:51.200 about the
00:23:51.620 Supreme
00:23:52.000 Court and
00:23:52.880 he just
00:23:53.180 sort of put
00:23:54.380 his rhetoric
00:23:55.180 and the
00:23:55.620 Supreme
00:23:55.900 Court
00:23:56.180 together.
00:23:57.520 And I
00:23:57.880 don't think
00:23:58.360 he knew
00:23:58.660 what he
00:23:58.940 did when
00:23:59.340 he did
00:23:59.620 it.
00:24:01.300 I think
00:24:02.200 it was a
00:24:03.820 complete
00:24:04.240 Joe Biden
00:24:05.080 conflating
00:24:06.740 cool rhetoric
00:24:07.600 with the
00:24:08.040 names of
00:24:08.440 the Supreme
00:24:08.880 Court and
00:24:09.960 I feel like
00:24:10.720 he didn't
00:24:11.060 know he
00:24:11.400 was doing
00:24:11.840 it because
00:24:13.860 of the
00:24:14.140 smile.
00:24:15.160 Because you
00:24:15.820 don't smile
00:24:16.320 like that if
00:24:17.640 you're saying
00:24:19.060 that seriously.
00:24:20.600 Nobody in
00:24:21.160 the world
00:24:21.540 says,
00:24:22.720 yeah,
00:24:22.980 you know,
00:24:23.640 they're really
00:24:24.640 going to pay
00:24:24.980 for it.
00:24:26.760 That doesn't
00:24:28.020 match.
00:24:30.100 So the
00:24:30.560 smile is
00:24:32.160 the tell.
00:24:33.880 And again,
00:24:34.520 I see in the
00:24:35.220 comments,
00:24:35.700 and you're
00:24:35.960 absolutely right,
00:24:36.820 in the comments
00:24:37.380 if you're
00:24:37.740 saying,
00:24:38.060 I can't
00:24:38.440 read his
00:24:38.780 mind,
00:24:40.060 that's
00:24:40.440 exactly what
00:24:41.000 you should
00:24:41.280 be saying.
00:24:42.000 So you
00:24:42.320 should be
00:24:42.600 treating what
00:24:43.120 I'm saying
00:24:43.540 with 100%
00:24:45.100 skepticism.
00:24:46.320 That's
00:24:46.740 exactly the
00:24:47.440 right way
00:24:47.780 to listen
00:24:48.460 to this.
00:24:50.000 I'm just
00:24:50.580 giving you
00:24:50.940 an option.
00:24:52.060 So I'm
00:24:52.420 not saying
00:24:52.900 that that's
00:24:53.580 what he was
00:24:53.960 thinking.
00:24:54.780 I'm saying
00:24:55.360 that of the
00:24:55.940 alternatives of
00:24:56.820 what he was
00:24:57.280 thinking.
00:24:58.000 It was
00:24:58.580 intentional
00:24:59.140 and he
00:24:59.480 meant it.
00:25:01.560 Or it
00:25:02.220 was just,
00:25:02.880 he sort of
00:25:03.600 misspoke
00:25:04.100 because he
00:25:04.520 got carried
00:25:05.580 away with
00:25:05.960 himself.
00:25:06.740 There's just
00:25:07.120 two possibilities.
00:25:08.440 I would just
00:25:08.980 say that the
00:25:09.480 possibility that
00:25:10.300 he meant it,
00:25:12.120 exactly the way
00:25:13.080 it was taken,
00:25:13.900 is very low.
00:25:15.460 It's very low,
00:25:16.840 in my opinion.
00:25:19.120 And I have
00:25:19.820 no objection
00:25:20.620 if you disagree
00:25:22.660 with that,
00:25:23.160 because it's
00:25:23.840 speculation and
00:25:24.620 mind-reading.
00:25:25.500 And if you
00:25:26.940 disagree,
00:25:27.460 that would
00:25:27.680 be completely
00:25:28.580 fair.
00:25:30.600 All right.
00:25:34.260 I don't
00:25:34.780 think a
00:25:35.140 vaccine's
00:25:35.800 coming.
00:25:38.080 We keep
00:25:38.680 hearing the
00:25:39.060 news that
00:25:39.700 they're working
00:25:40.620 on that
00:25:41.020 vaccine.
00:25:41.680 It might
00:25:41.880 take a year,
00:25:42.500 it might
00:25:42.660 take a year
00:25:43.080 and a half.
00:25:43.420 And I've
00:25:43.620 been thinking
00:25:44.040 to myself,
00:25:45.100 yeah, but
00:25:45.620 I'll bet
00:25:45.860 they could
00:25:46.140 do it
00:25:46.380 faster,
00:25:47.080 because it's
00:25:47.480 an emergency.
00:25:48.880 You might
00:25:49.540 cut some
00:25:50.000 corners in
00:25:50.600 an emergency
00:25:51.080 that you
00:25:51.480 would never
00:25:51.820 do in
00:25:52.160 any other
00:25:52.520 situation.
00:25:53.000 So I
00:25:53.960 was thinking
00:25:54.280 to myself,
00:25:54.920 yeah, they're
00:25:55.360 saying it's
00:25:55.980 18 months
00:25:56.600 to a year,
00:25:57.360 but maybe
00:25:58.880 we could get
00:25:59.400 it in nine
00:25:59.780 months.
00:26:00.540 Just internally,
00:26:01.540 I was thinking
00:26:01.960 that.
00:26:03.160 And then,
00:26:03.940 I find out a
00:26:05.360 little bit
00:26:05.660 more.
00:26:07.080 We've never
00:26:07.660 made a vaccine
00:26:09.280 that worked
00:26:09.880 for this sort
00:26:10.600 of thing.
00:26:11.740 So this sort
00:26:12.760 of thing being
00:26:13.460 these super
00:26:14.720 dangerous
00:26:15.260 types of
00:26:16.940 viruses,
00:26:17.720 apparently it's
00:26:18.360 never been
00:26:18.800 done.
00:26:20.540 So if we
00:26:21.480 were to do
00:26:21.900 it in nine
00:26:22.340 months,
00:26:23.000 it would
00:26:23.460 not only
00:26:23.840 be the
00:26:24.240 fastest
00:26:24.640 you could
00:26:25.960 imagine,
00:26:27.220 but it
00:26:27.980 would be
00:26:28.400 a miracle.
00:26:29.880 In other
00:26:30.320 words, we've
00:26:30.740 never done
00:26:31.220 it, we
00:26:32.200 don't know
00:26:32.520 how to
00:26:32.800 do it.
00:26:34.620 We've
00:26:35.020 never done
00:26:35.440 it, and we
00:26:35.800 don't know
00:26:36.120 how to do
00:26:36.500 it.
00:26:36.980 It's not
00:26:37.560 going to
00:26:37.760 happen.
00:26:38.880 So I
00:26:39.400 think you
00:26:39.720 should make
00:26:40.400 your plans
00:26:41.160 based on
00:26:41.920 a vaccine
00:26:43.280 that either
00:26:43.720 doesn't exist
00:26:44.380 or doesn't
00:26:44.840 work, or
00:26:45.780 doesn't work
00:26:46.280 very well.
00:26:47.440 So make
00:26:47.820 your plans
00:26:48.340 for the future
00:26:48.900 based on no
00:26:49.860 vaccine is
00:26:50.840 my recommendation.
00:26:54.240 Just assume
00:26:54.820 it's not
00:26:55.140 coming, but
00:26:55.720 you'll still
00:26:56.060 be okay,
00:26:56.980 most of
00:26:57.400 us.
00:27:01.980 So let's
00:27:02.580 talk about
00:27:02.940 masks.
00:27:04.940 I learned
00:27:05.580 a little bit
00:27:06.380 more about
00:27:06.940 medical masks.
00:27:08.680 One of the
00:27:09.080 funny things
00:27:09.540 about following
00:27:10.080 the news is
00:27:10.600 you learn
00:27:11.000 about all
00:27:11.420 these things
00:27:12.040 that you
00:27:12.920 never knew
00:27:13.320 you had to
00:27:13.720 learn about,
00:27:14.500 and now I'm
00:27:15.140 a semi-expert
00:27:16.240 on medical
00:27:16.960 masks, and
00:27:18.320 when I say
00:27:18.740 semi, that's
00:27:19.640 probably
00:27:19.960 overstating it.
00:27:21.220 But here's
00:27:21.660 something that
00:27:23.480 I didn't
00:27:23.860 know.
00:27:24.620 So you're
00:27:25.000 all seeing
00:27:25.360 in the
00:27:25.600 news these
00:27:26.140 so-called
00:27:26.760 N95 masks.
00:27:28.840 I don't
00:27:29.040 know if
00:27:29.320 that's a
00:27:29.680 rating or
00:27:30.360 a brand
00:27:30.860 or what,
00:27:31.760 but apparently
00:27:32.220 the N95s
00:27:33.580 are the
00:27:34.300 ones that
00:27:34.900 the health
00:27:35.480 professionals
00:27:36.060 use, and
00:27:37.260 they're
00:27:37.460 engineered, and
00:27:38.400 they fit
00:27:38.900 your face,
00:27:39.720 you know, you
00:27:40.000 have to fit
00:27:40.500 them, and
00:27:40.880 so these
00:27:42.360 are the
00:27:42.620 good ones.
00:27:43.600 And you
00:27:43.800 want the
00:27:44.580 medical
00:27:44.900 professionals to
00:27:45.660 have the
00:27:45.880 good ones,
00:27:46.780 because if
00:27:47.280 they have the
00:27:47.660 ones you
00:27:47.960 can just
00:27:48.300 buy at
00:27:48.760 your drug
00:27:49.280 store, they
00:27:50.360 will not
00:27:50.660 be fully
00:27:51.060 protected,
00:27:52.260 right?
00:27:53.320 Obvious.
00:27:54.020 It's obvious,
00:27:54.620 right?
00:27:55.160 It's obvious
00:27:55.820 that you
00:27:56.120 want your
00:27:56.380 health care
00:27:56.800 people to
00:27:57.640 have the
00:27:57.880 good masks,
00:27:58.800 not the
00:27:59.620 crappy
00:28:00.240 drugstore
00:28:00.720 one, except
00:28:01.600 apparently
00:28:04.700 there's no
00:28:05.220 research to
00:28:06.120 show that
00:28:06.460 there's any
00:28:06.820 difference.
00:28:08.780 The only
00:28:09.660 studies that
00:28:10.520 have tried
00:28:10.940 to study it
00:28:11.640 found no
00:28:12.600 statistical
00:28:13.220 difference
00:28:13.820 between
00:28:14.580 wearing the
00:28:15.280 N95 and
00:28:17.320 weaker
00:28:18.440 versions that
00:28:19.320 are less
00:28:21.200 designed.
00:28:22.680 So that's
00:28:23.120 not to
00:28:23.440 say it
00:28:23.680 doesn't
00:28:23.940 make a
00:28:24.240 difference,
00:28:26.060 and that's
00:28:27.320 an important
00:28:27.680 distinction.
00:28:28.540 I'm not
00:28:28.960 saying they
00:28:29.340 don't work
00:28:30.040 or that
00:28:30.560 they're not
00:28:30.920 better.
00:28:31.980 I'm saying
00:28:32.440 there's no
00:28:32.840 science behind
00:28:33.560 it.
00:28:34.480 It could be
00:28:35.300 that common
00:28:36.080 sense is
00:28:36.660 enough to
00:28:37.080 tell you one
00:28:37.560 is better
00:28:37.880 than the
00:28:38.200 other if
00:28:38.560 you were to
00:28:38.880 look at
00:28:39.120 the details.
00:28:40.200 Maybe that's
00:28:40.760 what they're
00:28:41.040 operating off,
00:28:41.780 but it's
00:28:42.200 not scientifically
00:28:42.980 demonstrated
00:28:43.620 apparently.
00:28:45.640 But not
00:28:46.520 in the
00:28:46.760 bad way,
00:28:47.240 but in
00:28:47.480 the good
00:28:47.720 way.
00:28:48.840 And what
00:28:49.060 I mean by
00:28:49.520 that is
00:28:50.080 that the
00:28:51.220 good masks
00:28:51.980 were no
00:28:52.640 better than
00:28:53.980 the less
00:28:55.040 designed masks
00:28:56.040 at protecting
00:28:56.940 the health
00:28:57.300 professionals.
00:28:58.380 So the
00:28:58.860 bottom line
00:28:59.280 is that the
00:28:59.740 masks work
00:29:01.260 as far as
00:29:02.380 we know,
00:29:02.960 and as far
00:29:03.320 as the
00:29:03.580 medical
00:29:03.820 community
00:29:04.280 knows,
00:29:05.080 but they
00:29:05.880 don't know
00:29:06.320 that the
00:29:06.680 N95s work
00:29:07.800 better.
00:29:10.300 Somebody's
00:29:10.740 answering my
00:29:11.260 question here.
00:29:11.760 the N95
00:29:12.980 is a
00:29:13.600 rating.
00:29:14.160 Oh, that
00:29:14.380 makes sense
00:29:14.820 because there's
00:29:15.260 also an
00:29:15.680 N99.
00:29:17.240 Yeah, it's
00:29:17.640 a filter
00:29:18.060 rating.
00:29:19.100 So it
00:29:19.520 must be
00:29:19.820 95% of
00:29:20.900 something
00:29:21.240 versus
00:29:21.600 N99
00:29:22.620 is 99%.
00:29:24.000 There's
00:29:24.560 some even
00:29:25.120 higher level
00:29:25.780 of mask
00:29:26.200 apparently.
00:29:29.140 So I
00:29:30.340 would say
00:29:30.680 that we
00:29:31.020 can completely
00:29:31.740 dismiss
00:29:33.460 the idea
00:29:34.800 that masks
00:29:35.540 don't work.
00:29:36.940 And I
00:29:37.140 think we
00:29:37.800 can also
00:29:38.280 dismiss,
00:29:39.900 at least
00:29:40.540 on a
00:29:41.080 practical
00:29:42.140 level,
00:29:42.580 we can
00:29:42.840 dismiss
00:29:43.180 it.
00:29:43.540 Still
00:29:43.800 need some
00:29:44.200 confirmation.
00:29:45.440 But I
00:29:45.700 would dismiss
00:29:46.240 the idea
00:29:46.820 that the
00:29:47.380 poorly
00:29:48.340 designed
00:29:48.820 masks have
00:29:49.580 no value.
00:29:51.220 It seems
00:29:52.000 that they
00:29:52.380 do,
00:29:53.720 but that's
00:29:54.240 still not
00:29:55.780 completely
00:29:56.180 proven.
00:29:57.420 All right.
00:30:00.260 I was
00:30:00.780 going to say
00:30:01.040 something else
00:30:01.540 about masks,
00:30:02.240 but I just
00:30:02.740 forgot it.
00:30:03.680 So maybe
00:30:04.120 I'll get
00:30:04.360 back to that.
00:30:05.440 I saw
00:30:05.760 Tucker Carlson's
00:30:06.760 show.
00:30:07.180 I was just
00:30:07.420 watching it
00:30:07.900 on replay.
00:30:08.840 He was
00:30:09.040 talking about
00:30:09.480 how AT&T
00:30:10.280 employees are
00:30:11.380 being forced
00:30:12.720 to train
00:30:13.240 their foreign
00:30:14.560 replacements,
00:30:15.560 I think
00:30:16.300 their HB1
00:30:17.300 visa types
00:30:18.920 from other
00:30:19.420 countries,
00:30:19.940 mostly from
00:30:20.420 India.
00:30:20.880 And some
00:30:21.260 of the
00:30:21.480 American
00:30:21.780 employees
00:30:22.180 were angry
00:30:22.980 that they
00:30:24.020 had to
00:30:24.420 train people
00:30:25.160 to be
00:30:25.500 their
00:30:25.820 replacements.
00:30:26.960 citizens.
00:30:27.440 Now,
00:30:27.620 one of the
00:30:27.820 things Tucker
00:30:28.260 said is
00:30:29.280 that Silicon
00:30:30.560 Valley likes
00:30:31.420 these HB1
00:30:32.800 visas because
00:30:34.240 Silicon Valley
00:30:35.120 says they
00:30:35.900 can't find
00:30:36.560 American
00:30:37.960 workers to
00:30:39.540 fill these
00:30:40.000 technology
00:30:40.600 jobs.
00:30:41.800 And Tucker
00:30:42.280 says that's
00:30:43.620 false.
00:30:45.040 And I
00:30:45.540 wanted to
00:30:45.960 add something
00:30:46.500 to that.
00:30:47.720 And it's
00:30:48.320 this.
00:30:48.980 You have to
00:30:49.840 make a
00:30:50.180 distinction
00:30:50.620 between a
00:30:52.120 technology
00:30:52.780 worker and
00:30:54.780 somebody who
00:30:55.300 actually is
00:30:56.080 a technology
00:30:57.660 expert
00:30:58.760 programmer
00:30:59.760 technologist.
00:31:01.620 They're not
00:31:02.100 the same
00:31:02.460 thing.
00:31:03.480 A technology
00:31:04.240 worker might
00:31:05.840 be tech
00:31:06.540 support,
00:31:07.580 which is
00:31:08.820 just sort
00:31:09.380 of a user
00:31:10.320 level.
00:31:11.480 They don't
00:31:11.880 have to be
00:31:12.240 a technical
00:31:12.680 expert.
00:31:13.900 So my
00:31:14.520 guess,
00:31:15.800 because I
00:31:16.440 live near
00:31:17.060 Silicon Valley,
00:31:18.260 I've got a
00:31:18.880 startup,
00:31:20.020 I've been
00:31:20.600 involved in
00:31:21.060 this world
00:31:21.460 a long
00:31:21.840 time,
00:31:22.760 I can tell
00:31:23.660 you for
00:31:24.020 sure the
00:31:24.760 high-tech
00:31:25.820 companies do
00:31:27.120 not have
00:31:27.840 access to
00:31:29.100 enough
00:31:29.440 technical
00:31:30.420 talents.
00:31:31.640 So the
00:31:31.900 H-1B
00:31:32.360 visas for
00:31:33.020 people who
00:31:33.420 actually know
00:31:33.880 how to
00:31:34.120 program,
00:31:34.860 people with
00:31:35.280 full stacks,
00:31:36.700 that sort
00:31:37.100 of thing,
00:31:37.760 there is a
00:31:38.700 shortage of
00:31:39.180 them.
00:31:39.900 And these
00:31:40.220 companies are
00:31:41.180 limited in
00:31:42.600 their growth
00:31:43.160 by access to
00:31:44.340 that kind of
00:31:44.860 person.
00:31:45.920 But it
00:31:46.460 wouldn't
00:31:46.700 surprise me
00:31:47.280 if technology
00:31:48.120 workers,
00:31:49.260 people who
00:31:49.660 do lesser
00:31:50.860 skilled jobs,
00:31:52.260 it wouldn't
00:31:52.620 surprise me if
00:31:53.180 they're being
00:31:53.560 replaced by
00:31:54.500 foreign workers
00:31:55.240 and maybe
00:31:55.700 that's an
00:31:56.100 issue that
00:31:56.440 needs to
00:31:56.720 be addressed.
00:31:57.480 So I think
00:31:57.780 Tucker's on to
00:31:58.440 something,
00:31:59.300 but I like to
00:32:00.140 make that
00:32:00.420 distinction.
00:32:01.020 We really do
00:32:01.700 have a
00:32:02.020 shortage,
00:32:02.780 and always
00:32:03.280 would,
00:32:03.880 by the way.
00:32:04.900 I don't
00:32:05.480 think there
00:32:05.820 would be
00:32:06.060 any such
00:32:06.540 thing as
00:32:07.960 enough
00:32:08.440 highly trained
00:32:10.140 technical
00:32:10.660 workers,
00:32:11.480 because the
00:32:12.120 more you
00:32:12.480 have,
00:32:13.440 the more
00:32:13.920 startups get
00:32:14.580 started.
00:32:15.860 So you
00:32:16.780 don't hire
00:32:17.260 them all and
00:32:17.760 then you don't
00:32:18.140 need any more,
00:32:19.100 you just create
00:32:19.760 more startups the
00:32:20.620 more you have.
00:32:21.200 So there's
00:32:21.960 no such
00:32:22.380 thing as
00:32:23.040 having enough
00:32:23.780 of the best
00:32:25.540 technical people
00:32:27.540 from India.
00:32:29.480 We want
00:32:30.260 more,
00:32:31.740 not less.
00:32:33.840 You know,
00:32:34.260 if you want
00:32:34.980 your country to
00:32:35.600 be prosperous and
00:32:36.540 you want Americans
00:32:37.280 to have jobs,
00:32:39.020 bring in,
00:32:39.980 you know,
00:32:40.640 bring in a
00:32:41.300 high-end Indian
00:32:42.540 programmer and
00:32:44.180 have them start a
00:32:44.820 company.
00:32:45.440 You're going to
00:32:45.900 make some jobs.
00:32:46.600 because we
00:32:48.640 weren't doing it
00:32:49.160 without them.
00:32:50.280 In other words,
00:32:51.200 you know,
00:32:51.540 the more of them
00:32:52.060 we have,
00:32:52.460 the better.
00:32:53.760 One prediction I
00:32:54.660 made,
00:32:55.020 which is,
00:32:56.120 wasn't a hard
00:32:57.120 prediction,
00:32:57.980 is that Amazon
00:32:58.720 would go crazy
00:33:01.980 because we'd
00:33:02.460 have a lot of
00:33:02.840 business.
00:33:03.260 Now,
00:33:03.440 of course,
00:33:03.780 they have
00:33:03.980 challenges with
00:33:04.740 their own supply
00:33:05.380 chain,
00:33:05.840 but I think
00:33:06.180 they have that
00:33:06.600 mostly under
00:33:07.120 control.
00:33:07.980 The real
00:33:08.300 problem is
00:33:08.740 the demand
00:33:09.240 is so high.
00:33:10.680 People are
00:33:11.260 ordering from
00:33:11.940 Amazon to
00:33:12.560 stock up,
00:33:13.840 but I think
00:33:14.740 that that's going
00:33:15.320 to create a
00:33:15.840 habit,
00:33:16.600 that some
00:33:17.940 of us already
00:33:18.480 had and
00:33:19.040 others were
00:33:19.720 getting hooked
00:33:20.820 on it.
00:33:21.760 So I think
00:33:22.120 the days of
00:33:22.820 going to
00:33:23.360 stores,
00:33:24.660 which had
00:33:25.300 been,
00:33:25.660 of course,
00:33:26.040 in a long
00:33:26.480 decline,
00:33:27.340 you know,
00:33:27.560 we were doing
00:33:27.960 more online
00:33:28.580 shopping,
00:33:29.460 but I think
00:33:29.980 this last
00:33:30.640 little shock,
00:33:32.380 the coronavirus,
00:33:34.120 it's going to
00:33:35.120 take Amazon
00:33:35.960 and everybody
00:33:36.800 else who sells
00:33:37.380 online into
00:33:38.060 another realm,
00:33:40.340 I think.
00:33:41.040 I mean,
00:33:41.380 think about it,
00:33:41.940 this could go
00:33:42.360 through Christmas.
00:33:44.000 You know,
00:33:44.180 if we're still
00:33:44.620 dealing with this
00:33:45.300 or even talking
00:33:46.020 about it at
00:33:46.520 Christmas,
00:33:47.500 you're going
00:33:47.840 to buy
00:33:48.100 everything
00:33:48.740 online.
00:33:51.160 All right,
00:33:52.060 what else
00:33:53.020 we got going
00:33:53.500 here?
00:33:56.760 I'll just
00:33:57.280 make you wait
00:33:57.800 while I'm
00:33:58.120 looking at my
00:33:58.540 notes.
00:33:59.460 That's fun.
00:34:01.280 All right,
00:34:01.640 well,
00:34:01.780 that's about
00:34:02.060 all I got
00:34:02.420 today.
00:34:02.840 There's not
00:34:03.400 much going
00:34:03.860 on.
00:34:04.120 I think
00:34:04.340 this Schumer
00:34:05.680 thing is just
00:34:06.620 a whole lot
00:34:07.140 of political
00:34:08.900 nothing.
00:34:09.360 I think
00:34:10.860 the coronavirus
00:34:11.360 is the
00:34:11.960 only story
00:34:12.420 that's
00:34:13.220 worth having.
00:34:14.820 I think
00:34:15.120 that watching
00:34:16.320 the Joe
00:34:17.620 Biden story
00:34:19.060 is fascinating.
00:34:20.740 Also watching
00:34:21.920 Tucker,
00:34:22.820 you know,
00:34:23.080 Tucker was,
00:34:24.140 and I always
00:34:24.600 appreciate this
00:34:25.300 because Tucker
00:34:25.800 was confessing
00:34:28.080 more than once
00:34:28.880 on just
00:34:29.520 yesterday's show
00:34:30.320 that he had
00:34:32.060 been saying
00:34:32.600 with complete
00:34:33.520 certainty,
00:34:34.160 Biden will
00:34:34.660 never get
00:34:35.060 the nomination.
00:34:36.380 And now he's
00:34:36.880 saying that,
00:34:37.640 at least apparently,
00:34:38.280 it looks like
00:34:38.940 that's wrong.
00:34:40.420 So the first
00:34:41.220 thing I appreciate
00:34:41.840 is anybody
00:34:42.540 who says,
00:34:43.280 I predicted
00:34:44.120 this,
00:34:44.660 I was 100%
00:34:45.420 wrong.
00:34:47.280 I just always
00:34:48.220 appreciate that.
00:34:50.880 But I'm not
00:34:52.440 so sure it's
00:34:53.140 over.
00:34:54.540 I think we're
00:34:55.360 a little bit
00:34:55.980 quick on this.
00:34:56.980 I think it
00:34:57.400 will be.
00:34:57.920 I mean,
00:34:58.160 my prediction
00:34:58.680 at this point
00:34:59.960 is that it's
00:35:01.560 going to be
00:35:01.940 Kamala Harris.
00:35:03.380 Oh,
00:35:03.640 did I say
00:35:04.040 Kamala Harris?
00:35:05.380 What I meant
00:35:06.060 was Joe Biden
00:35:06.920 would pick
00:35:07.860 Kamala Harris
00:35:08.560 as the
00:35:09.120 vice president
00:35:09.720 and through
00:35:10.960 her,
00:35:11.680 the real
00:35:12.220 power of
00:35:12.920 the presidency
00:35:14.060 would flow,
00:35:15.680 meaning that
00:35:16.480 Joe wouldn't
00:35:17.640 really be in
00:35:18.420 charge if he
00:35:19.020 were the
00:35:19.280 president.
00:35:19.900 And I think
00:35:20.300 people are
00:35:20.800 starting to
00:35:21.300 say that.
00:35:22.580 And you're
00:35:23.140 seeing it
00:35:24.140 expressed as
00:35:24.800 a question,
00:35:26.020 which is
00:35:26.440 actually more
00:35:26.940 powerful persuasion.
00:35:28.980 If you get
00:35:29.400 a chance,
00:35:30.680 if you want
00:35:31.140 to use this
00:35:31.600 persuasion,
00:35:32.200 let me tell
00:35:32.520 you the
00:35:32.740 strong form.
00:35:33.380 the weak
00:35:35.320 form is
00:35:36.620 if Joe
00:35:37.120 Biden is
00:35:37.500 president,
00:35:38.820 Hillary Clinton
00:35:39.660 will be using
00:35:40.440 him as a
00:35:40.920 puppet,
00:35:41.560 or Obama,
00:35:42.240 or somebody
00:35:42.520 else.
00:35:43.200 That's a
00:35:43.640 direct
00:35:43.980 statement.
00:35:44.920 When you
00:35:45.220 make a
00:35:45.520 direct
00:35:45.740 statement of
00:35:46.220 fact,
00:35:46.520 it's easy
00:35:46.940 for people
00:35:47.400 to say,
00:35:47.980 no,
00:35:48.160 that's not
00:35:48.460 true.
00:35:49.420 That's not
00:35:49.860 true.
00:35:50.460 So it's
00:35:50.900 not very
00:35:51.280 persuasive,
00:35:52.380 because people
00:35:52.860 just reflexively
00:35:53.920 say,
00:35:54.400 no,
00:35:54.640 that's not
00:35:54.920 true,
00:35:55.100 it's going
00:35:55.360 to be
00:35:55.540 Joe Biden.
00:35:56.960 So put it
00:35:57.700 in the form
00:35:58.080 of a question.
00:35:59.080 I saw
00:35:59.360 somebody do
00:35:59.840 this on
00:36:00.220 Twitter.
00:36:00.640 I wish I
00:36:01.000 could credit
00:36:01.440 them,
00:36:01.680 but I
00:36:01.900 don't
00:36:02.000 remember.
00:36:02.920 It's
00:36:03.240 more
00:36:03.440 powerful,
00:36:04.120 and it
00:36:04.380 goes like
00:36:04.740 this.
00:36:05.800 If Joe
00:36:06.340 Biden
00:36:06.620 becomes
00:36:07.080 president,
00:36:08.420 who's
00:36:08.880 really
00:36:09.220 running
00:36:09.520 the
00:36:09.720 country?
00:36:11.340 See the
00:36:12.040 difference?
00:36:12.820 If you
00:36:13.440 say who's
00:36:13.940 running
00:36:14.140 the
00:36:14.360 country,
00:36:14.840 then it
00:36:15.160 allows
00:36:15.580 everybody
00:36:16.120 to inhabit
00:36:17.020 the question
00:36:17.760 with their
00:36:18.820 own answer.
00:36:20.340 The thing
00:36:20.780 you don't
00:36:21.300 disagree with
00:36:22.120 is your
00:36:22.540 own opinion.
00:36:23.800 You always
00:36:24.600 disagree with
00:36:25.300 other people's
00:36:25.940 opinion if
00:36:26.460 they're on
00:36:26.700 the other
00:36:26.980 side.
00:36:27.360 It's just
00:36:27.620 a reflex.
00:36:28.720 But you
00:36:28.980 can take
00:36:29.300 that reflex
00:36:29.820 away by
00:36:30.480 putting it
00:36:31.300 in question
00:36:31.840 form.
00:36:32.780 You say,
00:36:33.360 if Joe
00:36:34.160 Biden's
00:36:34.520 president,
00:36:35.860 in all
00:36:36.680 seriousness,
00:36:38.040 who's
00:36:38.380 running the
00:36:38.860 country?
00:36:40.520 Because you
00:36:41.280 know,
00:36:41.540 even the
00:36:42.000 Democrats,
00:36:43.260 this is just
00:36:45.200 an opinion,
00:36:46.040 again,
00:36:46.580 this would be
00:36:47.320 mind-reading,
00:36:48.420 but it's my
00:36:49.300 impression,
00:36:50.860 my speculation
00:36:51.800 at best,
00:36:53.120 the Democrats
00:36:53.900 can see it
00:36:54.720 too.
00:36:55.720 And when I
00:36:56.380 say they
00:36:56.700 can see it
00:36:57.380 too,
00:36:57.880 I mean
00:36:59.140 that they're
00:36:59.660 watching Joe
00:37:00.280 Biden just
00:37:00.840 like we
00:37:01.300 are,
00:37:02.240 and they're
00:37:02.900 not seeing
00:37:03.400 a different
00:37:03.800 Joe Biden,
00:37:05.180 I think.
00:37:06.460 Now,
00:37:06.880 it's possible
00:37:07.760 that Democrats
00:37:08.860 are caught
00:37:10.360 in a two-movie
00:37:11.440 situation and
00:37:12.260 they actually
00:37:12.660 don't see it.
00:37:14.600 But can
00:37:15.780 anybody confirm
00:37:16.500 for me?
00:37:17.580 Let me ask
00:37:18.260 the question.
00:37:18.820 I'll bet
00:37:19.300 there's enough
00:37:20.340 data points
00:37:21.540 right here in
00:37:22.000 the comments.
00:37:22.480 So in the
00:37:23.280 comments,
00:37:24.860 tell me,
00:37:25.580 have you
00:37:25.900 talked to
00:37:26.420 any people
00:37:28.360 who are
00:37:29.140 Biden supporters,
00:37:30.420 even if
00:37:30.880 they're reluctant,
00:37:31.900 they may have
00:37:32.280 come over from
00:37:33.000 some other
00:37:33.400 candidate they
00:37:34.080 were supporting,
00:37:35.080 but anybody
00:37:35.520 who's a
00:37:35.880 current Biden
00:37:37.220 supporter,
00:37:38.420 has anybody
00:37:38.960 said to you
00:37:39.780 that they
00:37:41.560 can see his
00:37:42.260 mental acuity
00:37:43.860 starting to
00:37:44.720 decline?
00:37:46.200 Has anybody
00:37:46.880 said that?
00:37:48.440 Because I'm
00:37:48.960 actually curious,
00:37:49.640 it's a good
00:37:50.000 question,
00:37:50.840 whether it's
00:37:51.640 only obvious
00:37:52.420 to one side.
00:37:53.400 And the
00:37:53.580 reason I ask
00:37:54.040 that is,
00:37:54.480 remember,
00:37:55.320 it wasn't
00:37:55.800 long ago that
00:37:57.300 every Democrat
00:37:58.040 in the world
00:37:58.620 was looking at
00:37:59.620 President Trump
00:38:00.280 and said,
00:38:00.820 there's something
00:38:01.200 wrong with his
00:38:01.780 brain.
00:38:03.440 But,
00:38:04.320 while they were
00:38:05.580 doing that,
00:38:06.740 the Republicans
00:38:07.440 were looking at
00:38:08.180 the same thing
00:38:09.000 and saying,
00:38:10.160 I don't see it.
00:38:11.920 I don't see it.
00:38:13.300 And in fact,
00:38:14.340 I've argued
00:38:14.920 that since
00:38:16.900 2015,
00:38:17.940 and I think
00:38:18.480 I'm going to
00:38:18.940 take credit
00:38:19.520 for being,
00:38:21.220 well,
00:38:21.900 okay,
00:38:22.140 I'm going to
00:38:22.880 be immodest
00:38:23.720 for a moment.
00:38:25.380 I can't
00:38:26.060 prove this,
00:38:27.620 but it's my
00:38:28.580 opinion that
00:38:29.840 I am the
00:38:30.360 primary reason
00:38:31.420 that people
00:38:32.080 see President
00:38:32.720 Trump as a
00:38:33.340 good communicator
00:38:34.220 with tools
00:38:35.840 that are
00:38:36.240 designed to
00:38:36.900 do this
00:38:37.280 thing,
00:38:38.220 as opposed
00:38:39.220 to a random
00:38:39.780 crazy guy
00:38:40.420 who's just
00:38:40.880 spouting things.
00:38:42.420 I think I'm
00:38:43.460 the biggest
00:38:43.920 influence on
00:38:44.900 that.
00:38:45.560 But the
00:38:45.980 surprising part
00:38:46.760 is that the
00:38:47.820 Democrats have
00:38:48.920 bought into it.
00:38:49.600 at this
00:38:50.980 point,
00:38:51.760 even the
00:38:52.560 most
00:38:53.340 virulent
00:38:55.500 I shouldn't
00:38:57.520 say that
00:38:57.860 word in
00:38:58.200 public,
00:38:59.020 virulent,
00:39:00.500 even the
00:39:01.520 most rabid
00:39:02.480 Trump
00:39:03.960 hater,
00:39:05.180 at this
00:39:05.720 point in
00:39:06.260 2020,
00:39:06.980 would also
00:39:07.660 say,
00:39:08.680 grudgingly,
00:39:10.060 but he is
00:39:10.700 really good at
00:39:11.360 this stuff.
00:39:12.320 He's really
00:39:12.860 good at this
00:39:13.440 campaigning.
00:39:14.000 He does
00:39:15.200 give a rally
00:39:15.980 that's quite
00:39:16.680 a show.
00:39:18.080 He does
00:39:18.740 persuade.
00:39:21.120 So even
00:39:21.500 people who
00:39:23.280 are inclined
00:39:23.700 to hate him
00:39:24.160 are saying
00:39:24.500 that.
00:39:25.580 So we
00:39:26.120 have the
00:39:26.360 two movies
00:39:26.860 with Trump.
00:39:28.840 But do we
00:39:29.560 have two
00:39:29.900 movies with
00:39:30.460 Biden?
00:39:31.880 Because it
00:39:32.540 feels like
00:39:33.580 people are
00:39:35.100 seeing the
00:39:35.580 same movie
00:39:36.140 on him.
00:39:36.600 I just
00:39:36.900 don't know.
00:39:38.300 Somebody
00:39:38.720 says that
00:39:40.600 Biden has
00:39:41.280 a stutter
00:39:41.940 or has a
00:39:42.960 stutter he's
00:39:43.400 overcome.
00:39:44.120 I guess he
00:39:44.440 had one.
00:39:45.800 And that
00:39:46.680 that might
00:39:47.160 be causing
00:39:47.820 him to
00:39:48.480 pause in
00:39:50.080 sentences and
00:39:51.080 try to figure
00:39:52.360 out how to
00:39:52.700 say stuff.
00:39:53.760 Maybe.
00:39:54.900 That could
00:39:55.380 be part of
00:39:56.180 it, but it
00:39:56.760 doesn't seem
00:39:57.380 to explain
00:39:57.920 what we're
00:39:58.340 seeing.
00:39:59.500 Your stutter
00:40:00.480 doesn't make
00:40:03.520 you forget
00:40:04.360 a common
00:40:05.180 saying or
00:40:05.900 forget where
00:40:06.500 your wife
00:40:06.960 is or
00:40:07.380 anything.
00:40:07.980 And by
00:40:08.220 the way,
00:40:08.500 the wife
00:40:09.080 and sister
00:40:09.560 thing,
00:40:10.580 totally
00:40:11.140 overblown.
00:40:12.400 He was
00:40:12.780 literally
00:40:13.140 facing
00:40:13.760 forward and
00:40:14.580 they switched
00:40:15.000 sides behind
00:40:15.660 him.
00:40:17.760 It looked
00:40:18.480 like a
00:40:18.900 gaffe and
00:40:19.800 we all had
00:40:20.240 fun with it.
00:40:20.960 We treated
00:40:21.340 it that way.
00:40:22.540 But that's
00:40:23.440 not a gaffe
00:40:24.040 that you
00:40:24.500 wouldn't have
00:40:25.160 made.
00:40:26.660 I mean,
00:40:27.020 put yourself
00:40:27.500 in that
00:40:27.820 situation.
00:40:28.740 You're
00:40:29.000 standing at
00:40:29.520 the podium.
00:40:29.900 your entire
00:40:30.740 focus is on
00:40:31.560 the crowd.
00:40:32.700 Your wife
00:40:33.160 and your
00:40:33.440 sister switch
00:40:34.040 places behind
00:40:34.800 you.
00:40:35.920 Are you
00:40:36.260 going to
00:40:36.480 catch that
00:40:36.880 in time?
00:40:38.080 No.
00:40:39.320 Probably
00:40:39.760 not.
00:40:40.680 Because he
00:40:42.000 motioned to
00:40:43.440 who he
00:40:43.840 thought was
00:40:44.200 his sister
00:40:44.640 without
00:40:44.880 actually
00:40:45.280 looking
00:40:45.680 first.
00:40:46.740 So it
00:40:47.360 was a
00:40:47.660 gaffe.
00:40:48.120 It was
00:40:48.400 embarrassing.
00:40:49.020 We all
00:40:49.240 had fun
00:40:49.620 with it.
00:40:50.040 I don't
00:40:50.260 think that
00:40:50.780 one means
00:40:51.260 anything.
00:40:51.660 I think
00:40:51.880 the other
00:40:52.180 ones do.
00:40:53.380 Oh, I
00:40:53.800 do think
00:40:54.180 the other
00:40:54.480 ones do.
00:40:54.900 This one's
00:40:57.540 just political,
00:40:58.280 but I
00:40:58.480 think the
00:40:58.760 other
00:40:58.960 stuff
00:40:59.300 suggests
00:41:00.340 there's
00:41:01.860 a problem
00:41:02.400 there.
00:41:05.440 But
00:41:05.680 watching
00:41:06.080 Trump
00:41:09.240 start to
00:41:10.720 settle on
00:41:11.700 Biden's
00:41:13.160 brain as
00:41:13.960 his main
00:41:15.300 angle of
00:41:16.880 attack is
00:41:18.300 going to
00:41:18.620 be really
00:41:19.080 fun.
00:41:20.640 It's not
00:41:21.040 going to
00:41:21.300 be
00:41:23.720 kind,
00:41:26.920 but it's
00:41:27.480 going to
00:41:27.720 be fun.
00:41:28.960 So he's
00:41:29.500 already saying
00:41:30.040 that Biden
00:41:30.780 doesn't know
00:41:31.280 what he's
00:41:31.520 saying and
00:41:31.960 doesn't know
00:41:32.260 what he's
00:41:32.500 talking about,
00:41:33.200 and that
00:41:33.420 will be
00:41:33.660 great.
00:41:34.300 All right.
00:41:38.080 Looking at
00:41:38.800 your comments,
00:41:42.620 he says
00:41:43.180 somebody's
00:41:43.820 saying once
00:41:44.300 in office
00:41:44.800 they'll give
00:41:45.260 him mind
00:41:45.740 altering
00:41:46.280 drugs like
00:41:47.340 they give
00:41:47.720 new
00:41:47.940 presidents.
00:41:50.980 Well, I
00:41:51.580 don't think
00:41:51.920 so.
00:41:52.480 I got to
00:41:52.820 show you a
00:41:53.280 picture.
00:41:53.500 I took
00:41:53.840 yesterday
00:41:54.260 outside.
00:41:55.820 I don't
00:41:56.480 want to
00:41:56.700 start a
00:41:57.260 rumor, but
00:41:59.740 this one's
00:42:00.120 kind of
00:42:00.420 fun.
00:42:01.500 So you
00:42:02.280 probably can't
00:42:02.820 see it, but
00:42:03.300 I went
00:42:03.800 outside and
00:42:04.320 I was just
00:42:04.660 filming the
00:42:05.240 sky in my
00:42:06.260 neighborhood.
00:42:07.280 Look at all
00:42:07.660 the contrails.
00:42:10.000 There was
00:42:10.640 some kind of
00:42:11.380 world record
00:42:12.480 number of
00:42:14.100 contrails.
00:42:15.340 Now it's
00:42:15.640 only funny
00:42:16.080 because the
00:42:16.820 coronavirus is
00:42:17.760 out there,
00:42:18.640 which again
00:42:19.120 is not funny.
00:42:20.440 There's nothing
00:42:20.980 funny about the
00:42:21.700 coronavirus.
00:42:22.980 But it
00:42:23.360 was, our
00:42:24.660 simulation likes
00:42:25.540 to serve up
00:42:26.300 coincidences, and
00:42:27.880 just when you
00:42:28.360 think the
00:42:28.700 government might
00:42:29.380 be spraying the
00:42:31.660 planet to, I
00:42:32.760 don't know, get
00:42:33.180 rid of the
00:42:33.500 coronavirus, you
00:42:34.580 see all these
00:42:35.040 contrails up
00:42:35.780 there.
00:42:36.500 Now just to
00:42:36.960 be clear, it's
00:42:39.360 just a coincidence,
00:42:40.680 and I'm not a
00:42:41.480 believer in
00:42:42.380 contrails, none
00:42:44.080 of that.
00:42:45.180 But when I
00:42:45.740 walked outside and
00:42:46.500 I looked up, I
00:42:47.200 was like, I've
00:42:48.440 never seen this
00:42:49.540 many before, all
00:42:50.740 at the same
00:42:51.220 time, so I
00:42:52.920 thought it was
00:42:53.240 worth taking a
00:42:53.840 picture.
00:42:54.460 But don't make
00:42:55.000 anything of it, it's
00:42:55.720 not real.
00:42:58.500 All right, that's
00:42:59.080 all I got.
00:42:59.540 I'll talk to you
00:42:59.980 later.
00:43:00.160 here.
