Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 859 Scott Adams： Humans Rule, Coronavirus is About to Drool. We Are Going Weapons Hot Soon

00:00:00.000 Alexa, turn on studio. 1.00

00:00:19.820 Hey, everybody.

00:00:22.460 How's it going?

00:00:24.800 Well, welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:27.400 Best part of your day.

00:00:30.000 You know, do you ever feel guilty being in the middle of a pandemic

00:00:36.340 and still finding a way to have a tremendous time every now and then?

00:00:43.280 Oh, yeah, we've got to take this quite seriously.

00:00:46.680 But we can still have our fun, and this is one of those times.

00:00:51.320 Well, welcome to The Simultaneous Hip and Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:55.300 And all you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or jellis or stye

00:00:58.520 in a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:01:02.180 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:04.380 I like coffee.

00:01:05.940 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,

00:01:09.300 the thing that makes everything better, including a pandemic.

00:01:14.100 It's called The Simultaneous Sip.

00:01:16.280 And it happens now.

00:01:18.240 We have a hospital worker here joining in The Sip.

00:01:25.700 Thank you for your service.

00:01:27.740 Normally, I would reserve that for people in our military.

00:01:31.020 But can you make a distinction today between a health care worker on the front line

00:01:36.900 and somebody in the military?

00:01:38.980 Well, you can, but it's a minor distinction.

00:01:44.060 So if you see a doctor or a nurse, thank them.

00:01:47.360 Maybe don't say service.

00:01:48.740 We'll save that for the people in the service.

00:01:51.140 But thank you.

00:01:53.220 So what is special about today?

00:01:59.380 What is special about today?

00:02:01.220 I'm going to call the elbow.

00:02:06.580 Now, the elbow is what I've been telling you for a while is coming.

00:02:11.580 It's the elbow of the curve.

00:02:13.700 I'm not talking about the virus curve.

00:02:15.900 You know what I'm talking about.

00:02:17.480 You're talking about the slow acquisition of information

00:02:21.620 that the humans are doing on a global scale.

00:02:26.500 And I told you that this is largely an information problem.

00:02:29.420 You know, what drugs work against it, we need to know.

00:02:33.080 What types of people are most affected, we need to know.

00:02:35.860 What worked, what didn't work, we need to know.

00:02:39.280 And, of course, who has it, we need to know.

00:02:42.320 If you get the information, the virus is toast.

00:02:46.700 So it has always been an information problem

00:02:49.660 presenting itself as a health care problem

00:02:52.340 because that's the ramifications.

00:02:55.600 But I told you from the start,

00:02:58.620 if there's one thing we're good at,

00:03:01.660 humans, hashtag human,

00:03:04.960 we're good at finding information

00:03:07.440 and we're good at doing things when we're all on the same page.

00:03:10.960 The only thing that ever slows us down

00:03:12.780 is when we're not on the same team.

00:03:15.380 That kind of stopped this week.

00:03:17.920 We're kind of all on the same team at the moment.

00:03:21.120 We'll deal with China later, 1.00

00:03:23.180 but at the moment,

00:03:24.800 same team.

00:03:26.020 Enemy of my enemy.

00:03:27.020 And the elbow looks like it's happening.

00:03:33.100 Now, some would say

00:03:35.220 that you still need some kind of an omen.

00:03:39.080 Wouldn't you like that?

00:03:40.420 Wouldn't you like that there were some kind of a sign?

00:03:45.060 If you're a believer, you'd say,

00:03:46.940 well, there's God

00:03:47.800 telling me everything's going to be okay.

00:03:50.920 If you're not a believer,

00:03:53.080 maybe you like the simulation.

00:03:54.740 Maybe you start seeing coincidences.

00:03:57.120 And you say,

00:03:57.780 ah, the simulation is winking at me.

00:04:01.200 Now, I don't think any of these things

00:04:02.580 pass any kind of scientific rigor.

00:04:05.840 But sometimes doesn't it feel good

00:04:07.620 when you just see something

00:04:10.200 that just says,

00:04:12.120 I think everything's going to be okay.

00:04:13.920 Now,

00:04:15.760 I'm not going to lie to you.

00:04:18.340 Next two weeks

00:04:19.460 might be a little bit rugged

00:04:21.360 for you

00:04:22.640 and for the people who catch the virus.

00:04:25.120 It's going to be horrific.

00:04:28.000 That's going to happen.

00:04:30.200 You don't have to

00:04:31.300 stress about

00:04:32.520 should it happen,

00:04:33.580 how do we stop it.

00:04:35.260 Next two weeks are going to be rough.

00:04:37.140 That's just the way it's going to be.

00:04:39.800 But

00:04:40.200 there might be some good things coming

00:04:43.600 and I'm going to talk about them.

00:04:45.700 But first,

00:04:46.200 I want to give you

00:04:46.880 just a simple tip

00:04:49.200 you can try at home.

00:04:50.860 Now,

00:04:51.420 this may sound silly,

00:04:53.820 but try it.

00:04:55.580 If you're feeling

00:04:56.580 a little bit anxious

00:04:57.980 about all this stuff,

00:04:59.700 and of course you do.

00:05:00.840 Of course you do.

00:05:02.140 The strongest person in the world

00:05:03.960 is going to feel

00:05:04.540 a little bit anxious today.

00:05:05.820 Here's a little tip.

00:05:09.060 And don't laugh at this

00:05:10.100 because it actually works.

00:05:12.000 Find a nice,

00:05:13.080 soft blanket

00:05:14.380 and wrap it around yourself.

00:05:18.460 And just see how it feels.

00:05:19.680 Now the softness

00:05:20.440 is a big part of it

00:05:21.300 because it's on your arms

00:05:22.400 and a nice fleece

00:05:24.060 kind of blanket.

00:05:25.340 And you're just going to feel

00:05:26.520 comforted.

00:05:28.620 It's just a physical thing.

00:05:29.960 It's not even psychological,

00:05:31.340 I don't think.

00:05:31.860 I think

00:05:32.120 we're designed

00:05:33.720 so there's a nice,

00:05:34.500 warm embrace

00:05:35.280 of something soft,

00:05:36.640 even if it's just a blanket.

00:05:38.660 It's going to make you

00:05:39.560 feel better.

00:05:41.040 And I,

00:05:41.740 so I got,

00:05:43.700 I actually ordered

00:05:44.640 a blanket

00:05:45.080 for only this purpose.

00:05:48.660 So,

00:05:50.100 I put on my blanket

00:05:51.280 yesterday,

00:05:56.620 yesterday,

00:05:56.720 yesterday,

00:05:56.780 and it totally

00:06:02.520 feels better.

00:06:05.200 This is a real thing.

00:06:07.040 Just find a nice,

00:06:08.240 soft blanket

00:06:08.640 during the day.

00:06:10.860 Just wrap yourself up in it.

00:06:12.520 I swear to God,

00:06:13.140 I feel great right now.

00:06:15.400 It's not a joke.

00:06:16.800 I'm going to keep this up.

00:06:19.720 But let's talk about

00:06:20.640 what's happened.

00:06:22.200 Most of you saw the clip

00:06:23.460 from Tucker Carlson's show

00:06:25.500 last night

00:06:26.080 in which it was

00:06:27.700 being announced

00:06:28.400 that there's

00:06:30.240 a cure.

00:06:33.920 Now,

00:06:34.740 do we believe it yet?

00:06:39.240 You know,

00:06:40.140 it's in the,

00:06:40.880 it's in the category

00:06:41.700 of things

00:06:42.260 one should not

00:06:44.320 automatically believe.

00:06:46.540 All right.

00:06:46.900 So,

00:06:47.740 anytime somebody says,

00:06:49.000 hey,

00:06:49.140 we studied 40 people,

00:06:51.300 which is not

00:06:52.260 a gigantic sample,

00:06:54.700 and 100% of them

00:06:56.400 were cured

00:06:57.000 with chloroquine,

00:06:58.760 the drug that

00:06:59.360 I've been talking about

00:07:00.160 for a while,

00:07:01.140 you know,

00:07:01.380 the rumors have been

00:07:02.360 that it was effective.

00:07:04.220 So,

00:07:04.460 apparently,

00:07:04.780 there's a French study now

00:07:06.180 that allegedly,

00:07:09.020 and I'm not a scientist,

00:07:10.380 and I haven't looked

00:07:11.060 at the study,

00:07:11.820 and I haven't reproduced it,

00:07:13.260 so don't take my word for it,

00:07:14.560 but this is the report.

00:07:17.560 It's 100% effective

00:07:19.500 at curing

00:07:20.600 the coronavirus

00:07:21.580 after you have it.

00:07:24.680 Now,

00:07:25.400 if you missed that,

00:07:27.140 let me say it again.

00:07:29.480 We just completed,

00:07:31.000 just completed

00:07:31.660 a French study

00:07:32.880 from one of the most,

00:07:34.420 I guess,

00:07:35.800 one of the most famous

00:07:36.540 and talented

00:07:37.480 scientists

00:07:38.840 in this exact field.

00:07:40.880 It's been accepted

00:07:41.960 for publication,

00:07:42.820 so it's,

00:07:43.820 so now it's passed

00:07:44.980 at least that step.

00:07:45.800 And they tested

00:07:47.560 40 people

00:07:48.260 and they had

00:07:48.600 a 100% success rate.

00:07:51.400 Now,

00:07:51.560 I guess the math

00:07:52.320 on this,

00:07:54.000 assuming that

00:07:55.000 others look at it

00:07:55.960 and they agree

00:07:56.420 that the test

00:07:57.380 was,

00:07:57.840 you know,

00:07:58.640 organized correctly,

00:07:59.700 and I think people

00:08:00.280 are saying it was,

00:08:01.820 apparently the math

00:08:02.660 on this,

00:08:03.060 even though it was

00:08:03.480 only 40 people,

00:08:04.980 the odds of it

00:08:06.560 not being

00:08:07.500 real

00:08:09.040 are very close

00:08:11.760 to zero.

00:08:12.280 and apparently

00:08:13.960 that almost

00:08:14.600 never happens.

00:08:16.200 And as Tucker

00:08:17.100 asked his guest,

00:08:18.560 you know,

00:08:19.340 like,

00:08:20.220 you know,

00:08:20.440 Tucker was

00:08:20.920 appropriately

00:08:22.660 skeptical

00:08:23.700 and amazed

00:08:24.620 at the same time.

00:08:26.740 Watching Tucker's face

00:08:28.400 when this scientist,

00:08:30.380 who's completely

00:08:31.120 credible,

00:08:31.740 by the way,

00:08:32.300 you know,

00:08:32.560 a known,

00:08:33.220 credible scientist,

00:08:34.240 saying that

00:08:35.240 the coronavirus

00:08:36.080 has a 100% cure

00:08:37.780 and it's a pill

00:08:39.180 we already make

00:08:40.180 and it's well-known

00:08:41.080 and it's safe

00:08:41.800 and it's already

00:08:42.700 been used

00:08:43.200 in other countries.

00:08:44.960 And Tucker

00:08:45.360 is hearing this

00:08:46.320 and the look

00:08:48.140 on his face,

00:08:50.780 it was worth

00:08:51.600 just watching

00:08:52.960 the whole show

00:08:53.420 just for that moment

00:08:54.260 because he was

00:08:55.560 having the same

00:08:56.160 experience that

00:08:56.840 all of us

00:08:57.280 were having at home

00:08:58.160 listening to it

00:08:59.020 for the first time,

00:09:00.140 which is,

00:09:01.760 what?

00:09:03.560 I don't know

00:09:04.380 if I'm hearing

00:09:04.840 this right.

00:09:06.420 Is that possible?

00:09:08.260 That there's

00:09:09.100 a safe,

00:09:09.840 effective,

00:09:10.460 widely available

00:09:11.180 pill

00:09:11.580 that's already

00:09:12.600 on pharmacies

00:09:13.320 that's 100% cure?

00:09:15.500 Apparently,

00:09:16.100 there's only

00:09:16.620 one other time

00:09:17.340 that we've

00:09:17.720 cured a virus.

00:09:23.380 Yeah,

00:09:24.040 so there's

00:09:24.960 only one other time

00:09:25.780 that humans

00:09:26.260 have learned

00:09:26.960 how to actually

00:09:28.320 cure a virus

00:09:29.220 and so this

00:09:30.800 would be the second

00:09:31.660 time if it's real.

00:09:32.980 So we have

00:09:33.720 some precedent

00:09:34.400 that you can

00:09:35.580 actually cure a virus

00:09:36.700 with the right

00:09:37.480 meds.

00:09:38.020 I think

00:09:38.220 they do it

00:09:39.080 for

00:09:39.380 you'll remind

00:09:42.000 me,

00:09:42.280 whatever the

00:09:42.760 problem is.

00:09:44.440 So here's

00:09:44.920 some other

00:09:45.220 things coming

00:09:46.260 down the line.

00:09:50.640 First of all,

00:09:53.600 there's some

00:09:54.460 troubling

00:09:56.540 suggestion

00:09:57.500 that China 0.93

00:09:59.100 knew this

00:10:00.020 and was

00:10:00.900 maybe not

00:10:02.760 as forthcoming

00:10:04.300 as they could

00:10:05.220 have been

00:10:05.580 with sharing

00:10:06.920 the information.

00:10:09.540 Now,

00:10:10.540 this is not

00:10:12.200 yet the time

00:10:13.100 to look

00:10:13.480 backwards.

00:10:14.780 So just put

00:10:15.380 a tack

00:10:16.240 in this one.

00:10:17.660 A question

00:10:18.520 we're going

00:10:18.960 to ask

00:10:19.520 is did

00:10:20.820 China know 0.81

00:10:21.700 this worked,

00:10:22.440 I mean actually

00:10:23.060 know it works,

00:10:24.980 long before

00:10:25.940 they made it

00:10:27.140 widely available

00:10:27.900 to other countries

00:10:28.820 at risk?

00:10:29.460 risk.

00:10:30.560 It's a pretty

00:10:31.360 big question.

00:10:33.260 That's a real

00:10:33.780 big question.

00:10:34.860 Because,

00:10:35.180 you know,

00:10:35.480 I'm going to

00:10:38.380 stick with this

00:10:38.960 and I'm going to

00:10:39.460 say it a million

00:10:40.140 times in the

00:10:40.900 next year.

00:10:41.340 I have no

00:10:43.300 patience for

00:10:45.440 people who

00:10:45.960 look at other

00:10:46.740 people operating

00:10:47.980 in an emergency

00:10:49.240 trying to do

00:10:49.900 the best they

00:10:50.400 can and then

00:10:51.620 sitting on the

00:10:52.240 sidelines and

00:10:52.880 saying you

00:10:53.200 should have

00:10:53.480 done it sooner.

00:10:54.860 You're going

00:10:55.320 to get sick

00:10:55.920 of me saying

00:10:56.540 the idiots

00:10:58.080 in the room

00:10:58.680 are the ones

00:10:59.120 who said it

00:10:59.620 should have

00:10:59.960 been done

00:11:00.360 sooner.

00:11:01.740 But I'm

00:11:02.240 going to

00:11:02.360 make an

00:11:02.640 exception.

00:11:04.360 And the

00:11:04.960 argument there

00:11:06.340 is that

00:11:06.720 everything

00:11:07.060 that's good

00:11:07.900 should have

00:11:08.440 been done

00:11:08.780 sooner.

00:11:09.820 So if

00:11:10.200 you're making

00:11:10.540 a comment

00:11:10.980 that something

00:11:11.640 should have

00:11:12.080 been done

00:11:12.580 sooner,

00:11:13.240 it has no

00:11:14.060 meaning.

00:11:15.300 Because that

00:11:16.000 applies to

00:11:16.680 all things

00:11:17.260 good.

00:11:18.120 Should have

00:11:18.480 been done

00:11:18.800 sooner.

00:11:19.700 Hey,

00:11:20.320 why weren't

00:11:20.860 you smarter?

00:11:21.440 Why didn't

00:11:21.720 you see it

00:11:22.120 coming?

00:11:22.380 Why didn't

00:11:22.640 you work

00:11:22.940 harder?

00:11:23.360 There's no

00:11:23.880 exception to

00:11:24.460 that.

00:11:24.640 It always

00:11:24.920 should have

00:11:25.200 been done

00:11:25.540 sooner.

00:11:26.780 But I'm

00:11:27.320 going to

00:11:27.460 make an

00:11:27.780 exception in

00:11:28.420 the case

00:11:28.880 where it

00:11:29.960 was intentionally

00:11:30.920 withheld.

00:11:32.620 Now,

00:11:32.900 I'm not

00:11:33.140 going to

00:11:33.340 say that

00:11:33.700 that's the

00:11:34.160 case.

00:11:35.340 But if

00:11:35.900 it turns

00:11:36.260 out that

00:11:36.900 China maybe

00:11:38.040 knew more

00:11:38.660 than they

00:11:39.060 shared,

00:11:39.480 and it

00:11:40.520 was

00:11:40.680 intentional,

00:11:42.140 just

00:11:42.900 speculating,

00:11:44.120 wouldn't

00:11:45.480 you like to

00:11:45.940 know that?

00:11:47.300 So if

00:11:48.300 that's the

00:11:48.720 case,

00:11:49.560 I wouldn't

00:11:50.080 feel the

00:11:50.500 same about

00:11:51.600 a delay if

00:11:52.360 it's

00:11:52.520 intentional,

00:11:53.200 of course.

00:11:53.780 some other

00:11:55.880 good news.

00:11:58.640 You know,

00:11:59.580 this is

00:12:00.240 sort of a

00:12:00.680 wild card

00:12:01.360 thing,

00:12:03.200 but it

00:12:03.640 actually might

00:12:04.260 be important.

00:12:05.120 One of the

00:12:05.500 things we're

00:12:05.920 going to

00:12:06.120 learn,

00:12:06.880 even though

00:12:07.480 we didn't

00:12:07.840 want to

00:12:08.180 learn it,

00:12:09.000 is what

00:12:09.840 happens to

00:12:10.520 CO2 and

00:12:11.580 maybe,

00:12:12.780 potentially,

00:12:13.320 a little bit

00:12:13.700 more about

00:12:14.260 climate change

00:12:15.220 risk,

00:12:15.740 et cetera,

00:12:16.600 et cetera,

00:12:17.940 based on

00:12:19.480 the fact

00:12:21.800 that we

00:12:22.160 reduced air

00:12:23.060 pollution

00:12:23.400 substantially,

00:12:25.120 and probably

00:12:25.500 will last a

00:12:26.200 month.

00:12:27.060 So will

00:12:27.440 the scientists

00:12:28.500 be able to

00:12:29.520 take advantage

00:12:30.320 of the

00:12:32.060 rarest thing

00:12:33.240 that could 0.68

00:12:33.600 happen,

00:12:34.040 which is the

00:12:34.740 economy of

00:12:35.680 the world

00:12:36.040 just stopping

00:12:36.620 at the same

00:12:37.140 time,

00:12:38.200 and then

00:12:38.520 watching the

00:12:39.040 air pollution

00:12:39.460 drop,

00:12:40.660 and what

00:12:41.120 do we

00:12:41.320 learn?

00:12:42.360 Now,

00:12:42.700 I'm not a

00:12:43.260 scientist,

00:12:43.980 so your

00:12:44.800 first instinct

00:12:45.880 would be,

00:12:47.060 well,

00:12:47.280 maybe nothing,

00:12:48.440 because it's

00:12:48.980 a short

00:12:49.360 period,

00:12:50.060 and it's

00:12:50.540 hard to

00:12:50.840 untangle

00:12:51.340 all the

00:12:51.740 variables,

00:12:52.900 so maybe

00:12:53.400 nothing,

00:12:54.340 because CO2

00:12:55.120 is a

00:12:55.460 long-term

00:12:56.140 problem,

00:12:56.740 it's not

00:12:57.200 something that

00:12:58.000 happened this

00:12:58.400 month,

00:12:59.220 but I'm

00:13:00.100 not so

00:13:00.480 sure.

00:13:01.900 I feel as

00:13:02.780 if that

00:13:03.360 might be

00:13:03.960 enough data

00:13:04.620 for,

00:13:05.520 remember,

00:13:06.280 scientists

00:13:07.160 are smarter

00:13:07.840 than you,

00:13:08.720 they're smarter

00:13:09.220 than me,

00:13:10.360 so just

00:13:10.880 because I

00:13:11.260 can't figure

00:13:11.680 out how to

00:13:12.100 take advantage

00:13:12.620 of that

00:13:12.900 information

00:13:13.300 doesn't mean

00:13:13.760 somebody can't,

00:13:15.040 and I

00:13:15.860 would love to

00:13:16.340 know if we

00:13:16.960 actually

00:13:17.340 experience

00:13:17.920 anything like

00:13:18.800 some seasonal

00:13:20.540 coolness.

00:13:22.200 Now,

00:13:22.340 in theory,

00:13:24.060 so here's

00:13:24.620 my question,

00:13:25.420 if pollution

00:13:26.020 goes out of

00:13:26.660 the air

00:13:26.960 kind of

00:13:27.840 quickly,

00:13:28.340 and we

00:13:28.580 watch that

00:13:29.020 already happen,

00:13:30.320 so Wuhan

00:13:30.940 was,

00:13:31.940 you know,

00:13:32.220 super polluted

00:13:33.160 and now it's

00:13:34.460 not,

00:13:35.560 you know,

00:13:35.940 they might be

00:13:36.380 back to work,

00:13:37.060 but at least

00:13:37.520 there was a

00:13:37.860 period when it

00:13:38.420 wasn't,

00:13:39.200 so we know

00:13:39.940 that the air

00:13:40.460 clears pretty

00:13:42.060 darn quickly,

00:13:43.480 but what I

00:13:44.320 don't know,

00:13:45.000 and I'd have to

00:13:45.500 ask some

00:13:46.080 scientists,

00:13:46.860 does that

00:13:47.300 mean the

00:13:47.620 CO2

00:13:48.300 clears?

00:13:50.460 And here's

00:13:51.080 the dumbest

00:13:51.900 question you're

00:13:52.460 ever going to

00:13:52.860 hear,

00:13:53.500 but I have

00:13:53.960 no shame,

00:13:54.560 so I'm

00:13:54.760 just going to

00:13:55.080 ask it

00:13:55.420 anyway.

00:13:56.600 Is there

00:13:56.980 such a

00:13:57.460 thing as,

00:13:59.340 you know,

00:14:00.040 I'll just

00:14:00.520 ask,

00:14:01.820 if every

00:14:02.740 10 years

00:14:04.800 we just

00:14:05.340 decided to

00:14:06.700 shut down

00:14:07.240 all industry

00:14:08.000 and travel

00:14:08.740 for two

00:14:09.940 weeks,

00:14:10.340 I'm just

00:14:11.080 brainstorming

00:14:12.220 here,

00:14:12.620 don't take

00:14:13.140 this too

00:14:13.520 seriously,

00:14:14.320 and brought

00:14:15.080 our pollution

00:14:15.600 down to

00:14:16.120 zero,

00:14:17.620 would those

00:14:18.240 gains be

00:14:19.700 any way

00:14:20.720 permanent?

00:14:22.120 In other

00:14:22.500 words,

00:14:22.840 could you

00:14:23.100 just stop

00:14:23.700 doing everything

00:14:24.360 for a while

00:14:24.980 and let the

00:14:25.980 CO2,

00:14:26.760 you know,

00:14:27.360 settle,

00:14:27.960 and how

00:14:28.340 long would

00:14:28.720 that take?

00:14:30.080 Because

00:14:30.360 pollution went

00:14:31.060 out of the

00:14:31.360 air pretty

00:14:31.740 quickly,

00:14:32.640 but does

00:14:33.060 the CO2,

00:14:34.060 because of

00:14:34.440 its nature,

00:14:35.120 hang around

00:14:35.580 longer,

00:14:36.540 even after

00:14:37.100 you stop

00:14:37.880 polluting?

00:14:38.460 I don't

00:14:38.660 know the

00:14:38.860 answer to

00:14:39.120 that question.

00:14:40.340 But even

00:14:40.840 if there's

00:14:41.240 a small

00:14:41.680 change,

00:14:42.920 don't the

00:14:43.440 scientists

00:14:43.820 get an

00:14:44.860 incredible

00:14:45.520 amount of

00:14:46.240 new insight

00:14:47.880 just based

00:14:48.760 on this

00:14:49.120 unique

00:14:49.460 situation?

00:14:50.360 I'll just

00:14:50.800 put it out

00:14:51.160 there as

00:14:51.400 a question.

00:14:52.380 I think

00:14:52.880 it's a

00:14:53.200 potentially

00:14:53.800 tremendous

00:14:55.280 benefit,

00:14:56.300 but it's

00:14:56.820 a maybe.

00:14:57.900 Here's some

00:14:58.340 other good

00:14:58.660 news.

00:15:01.080 Julia

00:15:01.640 Cheek,

00:15:02.140 I guess

00:15:02.400 she's

00:15:02.840 founder of

00:15:03.820 a company

00:15:04.120 called

00:15:04.440 Everly

00:15:04.820 Well,

00:15:05.880 that today

00:15:07.500 they announced

00:15:08.220 she's calling

00:15:09.760 it her

00:15:10.020 proudest

00:15:10.500 day ever,

00:15:11.240 and I

00:15:11.640 would say

00:15:12.600 that might

00:15:13.000 be the

00:15:13.280 case.

00:15:14.280 She says

00:15:14.820 we're

00:15:15.060 launching

00:15:15.380 the first

00:15:15.880 solution

00:15:16.360 in the

00:15:16.720 U.S.

00:15:17.080 to get

00:15:17.400 tested and

00:15:18.220 diagnosed

00:15:18.760 for COVID-19

00:15:19.940 from your

00:15:20.980 home on

00:15:23.120 Monday.

00:15:24.740 So this

00:15:25.120 Monday,

00:15:26.660 can you

00:15:27.400 believe this?

00:15:28.700 By Monday,

00:15:30.980 you know,

00:15:31.640 there won't

00:15:31.880 be many of

00:15:32.400 them,

00:15:32.580 I assume,

00:15:32.920 but I guess

00:15:33.300 they're

00:15:33.460 cranking up

00:15:33.900 production.

00:15:34.900 By Monday,

00:15:35.580 we'll have

00:15:35.920 a home test

00:15:36.660 kit for the

00:15:37.340 coronavirus.

00:15:38.220 And it's

00:15:40.680 kind of

00:15:41.020 come down

00:15:41.480 to this.

00:15:46.140 It's a

00:15:46.660 contest

00:15:47.140 between

00:15:47.760 viral spread

00:15:51.020 and reproduction

00:15:52.040 versus

00:15:53.940 American

00:15:54.800 manufacturing.

00:15:56.960 You could

00:15:57.820 say world

00:15:58.300 manufacturing,

00:15:59.140 but I think

00:15:59.540 people are

00:16:00.880 going to be

00:16:01.160 keeping whatever

00:16:01.880 they can produce

00:16:02.600 to themselves

00:16:03.240 for the

00:16:03.760 short run.

00:16:04.480 so if

00:16:05.500 suddenly

00:16:05.860 some

00:16:06.740 country

00:16:07.080 could

00:16:07.340 produce

00:16:07.720 a lot

00:16:08.020 of

00:16:08.140 N95

00:16:08.620 masks,

00:16:09.340 they

00:16:09.440 probably

00:16:09.660 need

00:16:09.880 to

00:16:10.000 keep

00:16:10.240 them.

00:16:11.200 I don't

00:16:11.740 know if

00:16:11.980 they

00:16:12.080 could produce

00:16:12.540 enough to

00:16:12.940 also export

00:16:13.780 right away.

00:16:14.680 So most

00:16:15.120 countries are

00:16:15.720 sort of on

00:16:16.500 their own

00:16:17.060 in the

00:16:17.940 short run.

00:16:18.500 In the long

00:16:18.940 run, of course,

00:16:19.480 they'll be

00:16:19.760 sharing, but

00:16:20.220 in the short

00:16:20.580 run, I

00:16:20.960 think the

00:16:21.260 U.S.

00:16:22.280 probably needs

00:16:22.860 to make

00:16:23.160 its own

00:16:23.440 masks pretty

00:16:24.420 quickly,

00:16:24.960 probably needs

00:16:25.500 to make

00:16:25.760 its own

00:16:26.040 test kits

00:16:26.560 pretty

00:16:26.880 quickly.

00:16:28.420 And so

00:16:28.680 it's come

00:16:29.060 down to a

00:16:29.440 contest, a

00:16:31.200 fair fight.

00:16:32.800 It wasn't a

00:16:33.600 fair fight at

00:16:34.280 first.

00:16:34.640 We had no

00:16:35.040 weapons, we

00:16:35.580 had no

00:16:35.880 tools, we

00:16:36.400 had no

00:16:36.660 information.

00:16:37.600 It was a

00:16:38.060 sneak attack.

00:16:39.000 Boom, virus

00:16:40.340 is on us.

00:16:42.160 But now

00:16:42.720 we've had a

00:16:43.200 little time to

00:16:43.860 regroup.

00:16:44.800 We did a

00:16:45.360 strategic

00:16:45.920 retreat, we

00:16:47.620 divided to

00:16:48.440 conquer, and

00:16:49.660 then the

00:16:49.980 smartest people

00:16:50.700 in the

00:16:50.920 world have

00:16:51.520 been working

00:16:51.940 on essentially

00:16:52.760 a global

00:16:53.720 Manhattan

00:16:54.320 project to

00:16:55.740 find every

00:16:56.360 possible

00:16:56.960 weapon you

00:16:57.520 could against

00:16:58.060 this virus.

00:17:00.120 And it

00:17:00.740 looks like

00:17:01.100 they found

00:17:01.560 it.

00:17:03.080 It looks

00:17:03.720 like they

00:17:04.040 found it.

00:17:05.000 Now, having

00:17:05.600 that, the

00:17:07.840 cure, if we

00:17:09.380 can call it

00:17:09.900 that, there's

00:17:10.920 still an

00:17:11.340 asterisk on

00:17:12.000 this, so

00:17:12.400 don't, if

00:17:13.640 things change,

00:17:14.980 don't say I

00:17:15.500 didn't tell

00:17:15.900 you it

00:17:16.260 couldn't,

00:17:17.620 because it

00:17:18.160 could, but

00:17:18.940 it's looking

00:17:19.460 really good,

00:17:20.320 I've got to

00:17:20.680 say.

00:17:21.680 And the

00:17:22.240 other thing

00:17:22.620 you need is

00:17:23.020 the test

00:17:23.400 kits.

00:17:24.560 So if you

00:17:25.020 can massively

00:17:25.540 test and

00:17:26.280 you've got

00:17:26.560 a pill

00:17:26.860 that you

00:17:27.140 know that

00:17:27.440 works, and

00:17:28.840 you've got a

00:17:29.240 strategy of

00:17:30.080 delay and

00:17:31.160 separation,

00:17:33.700 we are on

00:17:35.720 the cusp

00:17:37.480 of one of

00:17:40.080 the greatest

00:17:40.720 American

00:17:42.080 achievements of

00:17:42.960 all time.

00:17:44.600 I might be

00:17:45.500 wrong, I

00:17:46.740 could be

00:17:47.020 wrong, but

00:17:48.900 if I were

00:17:50.700 to sort of

00:17:51.460 straight line

00:17:52.060 finding this

00:17:52.320 where it's

00:17:52.740 going, I

00:17:54.540 think by

00:17:55.700 the end

00:17:56.040 of the

00:17:56.340 summer, the

00:17:58.160 United States

00:17:59.160 full strategy,

00:18:01.400 if you look

00:18:01.760 at it from

00:18:02.200 closing the

00:18:03.260 airports, which

00:18:03.920 was the first

00:18:04.760 action, I

00:18:05.320 guess, to

00:18:06.620 delaying, to

00:18:08.520 building tools,

00:18:10.960 learning from

00:18:11.420 the other

00:18:11.720 countries, and

00:18:12.920 then once we

00:18:14.040 have the

00:18:14.340 weapons, and

00:18:15.660 right now we've

00:18:16.540 identified the

00:18:17.380 weapons, we

00:18:18.180 know this

00:18:19.480 drug, it 0.94

00:18:20.880 would be

00:18:21.200 insane if

00:18:22.020 our government

00:18:22.980 is not

00:18:24.360 working hard

00:18:25.340 to produce

00:18:25.920 this drug

00:18:26.500 already.

00:18:27.980 You know, if

00:18:28.860 you've got

00:18:29.220 that one

00:18:29.800 gold standard

00:18:31.620 kind of good

00:18:32.460 test that

00:18:33.700 says it

00:18:34.060 worked 100%

00:18:34.920 of the time,

00:18:35.940 you should be

00:18:36.900 cranking that

00:18:37.580 out.

00:18:38.920 You know, if

00:18:40.140 by the end

00:18:40.980 of today you've

00:18:42.640 not heard your

00:18:43.420 government say,

00:18:44.800 well, just in

00:18:45.540 case, you know,

00:18:46.260 we're still making

00:18:47.260 sure this works,

00:18:48.240 but just in

00:18:49.580 case, we just

00:18:50.400 put a billion

00:18:51.220 dollars on it.

00:18:52.440 We just dropped

00:18:53.720 a wad of cash

00:18:55.060 and the U.S.

00:18:56.760 Army and the

00:18:58.200 full weight of

00:18:59.160 American

00:19:00.120 manufacturing on

00:19:01.260 it, and we're

00:19:02.120 going to make

00:19:02.540 the hell out of

00:19:04.000 this pill.

00:19:04.760 It's the

00:19:05.320 chloroquine, I

00:19:06.280 guess, and

00:19:06.660 there's a

00:19:07.680 stronger version

00:19:08.280 as well.

00:19:09.400 We're going to

00:19:09.900 make the hell

00:19:10.360 out of this

00:19:10.760 pill, and I

00:19:12.600 guess there's

00:19:12.920 another one that

00:19:13.480 goes well with

00:19:14.020 it, just in

00:19:16.760 case.

00:19:18.240 If you don't

00:19:19.120 hear that by

00:19:19.680 the end of

00:19:20.200 today, you

00:19:21.780 should lose

00:19:22.280 some confidence

00:19:22.900 in your

00:19:23.320 government.

00:19:23.760 I'm going to

00:19:23.960 be honest, but

00:19:25.800 I think you

00:19:26.240 might, and I'm

00:19:28.220 actively trying to

00:19:29.640 get that answer,

00:19:30.520 so I'm using

00:19:31.340 what contacts I

00:19:32.600 have to see if

00:19:33.780 somebody can tell

00:19:34.480 me, is there

00:19:35.520 a specific

00:19:37.000 manufacturing plant

00:19:39.440 that we're

00:19:41.620 putting the

00:19:42.120 full weight of

00:19:43.120 the United

00:19:43.640 States power,

00:19:45.580 money, arms

00:19:48.440 and legs and 0.99

00:19:49.260 brains into

00:19:50.400 it, and that

00:19:51.000 it's happening

00:19:51.400 right now.

00:19:52.440 If you don't

00:19:53.020 hear that by

00:19:53.420 the end of

00:19:53.780 the day, you

00:19:54.120 should lose

00:19:54.480 some confidence.

00:19:55.720 And I don't

00:19:56.040 mean that what

00:19:57.280 they tell you is

00:19:58.160 that it's

00:19:58.640 working great,

00:20:00.240 because it's

00:20:00.800 like everything,

00:20:01.460 right?

00:20:01.960 Day one of

00:20:02.800 doing anything

00:20:03.260 is going to

00:20:03.640 be just nothing

00:20:04.560 but mistakes.

00:20:05.900 But if we're

00:20:06.560 not putting the

00:20:07.180 energy into

00:20:07.860 it, you could

00:20:09.940 reasonably lose

00:20:11.040 some confidence

00:20:11.640 in your

00:20:12.000 government, and

00:20:12.780 nobody would

00:20:13.240 say that you

00:20:13.760 were being

00:20:14.080 unreasonable.

00:20:14.600 end of

00:20:15.760 today.

00:20:16.440 Today is

00:20:16.840 the day.

00:20:17.580 The country

00:20:18.340 needs to

00:20:18.740 hear it.

00:20:19.960 Now, how

00:20:22.200 good is the

00:20:22.700 news today?

00:20:23.800 Let's check

00:20:24.380 my stock

00:20:24.840 market.

00:20:27.300 Green,

00:20:28.140 green,

00:20:28.720 green,

00:20:29.240 green,

00:20:29.720 green,

00:20:30.460 green,

00:20:31.220 green,

00:20:31.780 green,

00:20:32.660 green,

00:20:33.440 green,

00:20:33.840 green,

00:20:34.520 green,

00:20:35.780 green,

00:20:36.500 green.

00:20:37.920 It's all

00:20:38.660 green, baby.

00:20:40.080 It's all

00:20:40.440 green.

00:20:41.480 We're going

00:20:42.080 weapons hot.

00:20:43.720 Not yet.

00:20:45.160 Not yet.

00:20:46.780 Don't have

00:20:47.280 enough of them.

00:20:48.340 But we know

00:20:48.760 the weapons

00:20:49.200 now.

00:20:50.420 And when

00:20:52.060 humans start

00:20:55.580 working, it

00:20:57.040 can be an

00:20:57.440 amazing thing.

00:20:58.180 Here are some

00:20:58.520 more things we

00:20:59.260 know.

00:20:59.640 Over in

00:21:00.080 Belgium, they've 1.00

00:21:01.620 adjusted their

00:21:02.380 protocols.

00:21:03.440 Now, what I'm

00:21:04.380 going to tell you

00:21:04.820 now is from

00:21:05.560 a guy I don't

00:21:07.080 know on the

00:21:07.580 internet.

00:21:08.620 So if this is

00:21:09.440 wrong, well,

00:21:10.400 you know,

00:21:10.720 I'm sorry.

00:21:12.380 But it

00:21:13.360 sounds like

00:21:13.900 something that's

00:21:14.500 right.

00:21:16.260 So, you

00:21:17.860 know, that's

00:21:18.340 the best I

00:21:18.800 can tell you.

00:21:19.280 It sounds

00:21:19.700 like it's

00:21:20.100 true that

00:21:21.300 Belgium has

00:21:21.920 adjusted their

00:21:22.600 protocols to

00:21:23.460 give that,

00:21:24.060 to give the

00:21:26.080 even stronger

00:21:26.780 version of the

00:21:27.460 chloroquine,

00:21:28.240 the hydroxychloroquine,

00:21:32.060 to all

00:21:32.720 patients with

00:21:33.900 medium to

00:21:34.520 severe symptoms.

00:21:35.380 So they're

00:21:35.960 giving it to

00:21:36.420 all patients.

00:21:38.240 So they're

00:21:38.920 not waiting for

00:21:39.580 severe, they're

00:21:40.160 giving it to

00:21:40.580 all, medium

00:21:41.840 to severe.

00:21:42.920 So more data

00:21:43.720 on success rates

00:21:44.520 should come up

00:21:45.120 then.

00:21:45.820 We're going to

00:21:46.240 know a lot

00:21:47.040 in a week,

00:21:49.520 two weeks

00:21:50.140 tops, because 0.94

00:21:51.440 Belgium will be 1.00

00:21:52.380 reproducing it

00:21:53.320 presumably with

00:21:54.660 enough information

00:21:57.720 that we'll really

00:21:59.020 feel more

00:21:59.460 confident about

00:22:00.140 what we know.

00:22:00.680 So, Patriot

00:22:05.700 Ian Hilgart

00:22:07.140 Martizas has

00:22:10.040 put together,

00:22:10.660 and I tweeted

00:22:11.260 it, you can

00:22:11.660 see it in my

00:22:12.200 Twitter feed,

00:22:14.460 one of the

00:22:15.940 best, just

00:22:18.080 one of the

00:22:18.420 best things I've

00:22:19.040 ever seen.

00:22:20.480 I'm a sort

00:22:22.180 of a data

00:22:22.620 geek.

00:22:23.580 If I see a

00:22:24.420 good presentation

00:22:25.220 about data,

00:22:26.460 like it just

00:22:26.980 makes me tingle,

00:22:28.060 I don't apologize

00:22:28.960 for that.

00:22:29.500 And you have

00:22:30.680 to see what

00:22:31.160 he did.

00:22:31.660 So, the

00:22:32.780 question he was

00:22:33.900 looking at was

00:22:34.480 convalescent

00:22:35.540 serum.

00:22:36.900 What that

00:22:37.440 means is people

00:22:38.240 who have already

00:22:38.940 recovered from

00:22:39.720 the virus have

00:22:41.180 the antibodies

00:22:41.980 already in

00:22:42.980 their blood.

00:22:44.360 And so there

00:22:44.880 is a mechanism,

00:22:45.800 it's known,

00:22:46.880 it's something

00:22:47.280 that China used 0.94

00:22:48.160 and has reported

00:22:49.040 on with some

00:22:49.820 success, that if

00:22:51.320 you could identify

00:22:51.980 the cured people,

00:22:53.340 take their

00:22:54.200 blood, you play

00:22:55.440 with the blood

00:22:55.860 a little bit,

00:22:56.700 whatever you do

00:22:57.880 with it, and

00:22:58.720 then it turns

00:22:59.140 into something

00:23:00.660 that you can

00:23:01.160 inject into

00:23:02.020 somebody else

00:23:02.820 and give them

00:23:03.380 a little resistance.

00:23:04.820 I don't know

00:23:05.360 if it's full

00:23:05.860 resistance, I

00:23:06.760 don't know

00:23:06.960 if it's just

00:23:07.420 good, those

00:23:08.900 are things to

00:23:09.420 know.

00:23:10.060 But wouldn't

00:23:10.560 you like to

00:23:11.120 know, like what

00:23:12.720 would that look

00:23:13.260 like, is that

00:23:13.960 practical?

00:23:14.920 In other words,

00:23:15.380 how many recovered

00:23:18.020 people would you

00:23:20.040 need to have

00:23:20.960 enough supply

00:23:22.280 for the people

00:23:23.580 you need to

00:23:24.060 cover?

00:23:24.300 isn't that a

00:23:24.980 good question?

00:23:26.400 Right?

00:23:27.140 Like at what

00:23:27.740 point do we

00:23:28.340 have enough

00:23:29.480 recovered people

00:23:30.460 who would also

00:23:31.740 volunteer to

00:23:33.160 give their blood

00:23:34.000 that there's

00:23:35.080 enough of it

00:23:35.840 that you can

00:23:37.160 start really

00:23:37.880 protecting big

00:23:38.900 groups?

00:23:39.760 And so Ian

00:23:40.520 figured that out.

00:23:41.980 This is a field

00:23:43.020 he has some

00:23:43.440 experience in.

00:23:44.600 And he's a

00:23:45.700 great communicator,

00:23:46.860 one of the best

00:23:47.300 you'll ever see

00:23:48.580 in the technical

00:23:49.200 sense.

00:23:49.600 And he comes

00:23:50.500 up with this

00:23:51.120 map of the

00:23:51.720 United States

00:23:52.400 and puts that

00:23:53.620 number on each

00:23:54.300 state.

00:23:55.400 It's kind of

00:23:55.840 genius.

00:23:56.820 So you can see,

00:23:57.480 you know, I

00:23:58.280 don't know,

00:23:58.800 California was

00:23:59.700 like 49 people

00:24:00.760 or whatever.

00:24:01.560 Now everything's

00:24:02.100 a snapshot, so

00:24:03.080 snapshot in time.

00:24:06.160 So of course

00:24:06.620 all this changes.

00:24:08.160 But it's a real

00:24:09.700 good first take.

00:24:10.920 You know, of

00:24:11.420 course, others

00:24:12.560 who know how

00:24:13.640 to look at

00:24:14.920 this stuff

00:24:15.380 probably should

00:24:15.900 look at it

00:24:16.500 and tweak it

00:24:17.800 or adjust it.

00:24:18.960 But man, is

00:24:19.520 that productive

00:24:20.180 information?

00:24:22.260 That is really

00:24:22.880 productive.

00:24:24.480 Because you

00:24:25.080 figured out how

00:24:25.680 much blood people

00:24:26.480 can give and

00:24:27.360 how many people

00:24:27.980 have it and

00:24:28.460 stuff.

00:24:29.340 So, you know,

00:24:30.080 we can keep

00:24:30.640 refining that.

00:24:31.420 But man, that's

00:24:31.900 just great work.

00:24:33.420 So, coronavirus,

00:24:35.020 your days are

00:24:35.840 numbered.

00:24:37.900 So we've got a

00:24:39.140 convalescent serum

00:24:40.160 method for some

00:24:42.400 degree of

00:24:43.820 protection.

00:24:44.420 We don't know

00:24:44.840 if that's 100%

00:24:45.720 or what percent.

00:24:47.320 We've got testing

00:24:48.360 kits.

00:24:48.700 online coming.

00:24:51.460 We've got, I

00:24:52.760 saw that Elon

00:24:53.460 Musk may be 0.98

00:24:55.980 getting in the

00:24:56.560 fight.

00:24:58.860 Elon Musk, he

00:25:00.220 was replying to,

00:25:01.480 I don't know who

00:25:01.880 it was, but the

00:25:03.800 question was, could

00:25:05.240 he be part of the

00:25:06.060 effort to mass

00:25:07.060 produce these N95 0.85

00:25:08.300 masks?

00:25:09.340 And apparently

00:25:09.900 part of the

00:25:10.660 problem is they're

00:25:11.300 hard to make.

00:25:12.640 So it's not good

00:25:13.620 enough just to have

00:25:14.540 a factory.

00:25:15.040 you've got to

00:25:15.880 have the right

00:25:16.240 kind of factory

00:25:16.840 and know-how

00:25:17.400 and it's not

00:25:18.680 fast.

00:25:20.340 And so Elon

00:25:22.520 has sort of

00:25:23.880 entered the

00:25:25.200 fight, at least

00:25:25.860 in the question

00:25:26.500 sense, and

00:25:27.640 said that between

00:25:28.660 Tesla and

00:25:29.920 SpaceX, they have

00:25:31.560 engineers who

00:25:32.240 would know how

00:25:32.880 to make a

00:25:33.260 ventilator.

00:25:33.980 In other words,

00:25:35.320 making a

00:25:36.320 ventilator would

00:25:36.940 be easy for the

00:25:39.280 kind of talent he

00:25:40.140 has.

00:25:40.560 That's basically

00:25:41.200 what he said.

00:25:41.840 But he hasn't

00:25:42.820 stepped up and

00:25:43.400 said, we're

00:25:43.820 going to go at

00:25:44.860 that.

00:25:45.180 He said, tell me

00:25:46.620 which hospitals

00:25:47.260 need ventilators.

00:25:48.580 So I think he's

00:25:49.500 still testing to

00:25:51.180 see if this is

00:25:51.880 real.

00:25:53.280 Meaning, how

00:25:55.080 important is it

00:25:55.900 that he start

00:25:57.180 converting the

00:25:57.960 resources of

00:25:59.020 Tesla toward

00:26:00.220 ventilators, or

00:26:01.300 at least helping

00:26:01.880 somebody else do

00:26:02.580 it.

00:26:03.440 So I don't say

00:26:05.020 he's fully in the

00:26:05.960 fight yet, but if

00:26:07.800 I were a virus

00:26:08.660 and I heard he

00:26:09.540 was getting that

00:26:10.300 close to being in

00:26:11.180 the fight,

00:26:11.840 I'd be a little

00:26:12.700 worried.

00:26:16.720 Somebody says,

00:26:17.780 Mark Cuban

00:26:18.660 on Fox.

00:26:19.540 I was going to

00:26:20.260 talk about Mark

00:26:20.880 Cuban.

00:26:21.180 He's on my

00:26:21.680 list.

00:26:23.140 And he had

00:26:24.080 publicly called

00:26:26.980 for engineers to

00:26:28.040 figure out how to

00:26:28.740 engineer a simpler

00:26:29.800 version of the

00:26:30.520 N95 so that we

00:26:32.300 could make them

00:26:32.800 faster.

00:26:33.780 I've got to say,

00:26:35.560 I've mentioned

00:26:36.400 this before, but

00:26:37.180 there will be a

00:26:37.620 lot of leaders

00:26:39.200 who are identified

00:26:41.460 during this

00:26:42.320 crisis.

00:26:42.660 People have

00:26:43.360 just stepped

00:26:43.780 up, and he's

00:26:45.140 one of them.

00:26:46.220 So Mark Cuban, I

00:26:47.320 would say, is one

00:26:48.440 of the most

00:26:49.100 important and

00:26:50.320 effective just

00:26:51.640 citizen leaders in

00:26:54.240 this crisis.

00:26:55.200 I give him just

00:26:57.080 all kinds of

00:26:57.920 credit for the

00:26:58.640 way he's

00:26:58.980 handling, not

00:26:59.540 only the way he

00:27:00.020 handled his

00:27:00.440 business and his

00:27:01.760 employees, which

00:27:02.760 was early and

00:27:03.620 fast and public,

00:27:04.980 great role model,

00:27:05.880 people, but he's

00:27:08.960 continuing to

00:27:09.680 find areas in

00:27:10.820 which his unique

00:27:11.640 contribution make

00:27:13.420 a difference.

00:27:14.180 Probably we only

00:27:15.080 know about a

00:27:15.560 fraction of it.

00:27:16.860 So when you see

00:27:18.320 that, when you

00:27:19.260 see your most

00:27:19.980 capable people

00:27:21.020 stepping up, it

00:27:22.940 just has to make

00:27:23.580 you feel better.

00:27:24.200 It should.

00:27:27.640 Let's see what

00:27:28.340 else we got.

00:27:29.700 This is just a

00:27:30.680 funny anecdote.

00:27:31.480 I forgot about it.

00:27:33.140 So I guess I

00:27:34.060 might have been the

00:27:34.660 day before

00:27:35.040 yesterday, Bernie

00:27:35.780 Sanders was

00:27:36.620 asked by CNN's

00:27:37.840 Manu Raju and

00:27:41.160 asked his

00:27:41.640 time frame for a

00:27:42.500 decision about

00:27:44.240 whether he'd

00:27:45.020 stay in the race

00:27:45.640 or not.

00:27:46.940 And this quote

00:27:48.440 doesn't work nearly

00:27:49.260 as well without

00:27:49.980 the full swearing

00:27:51.620 because Bernie used

00:27:53.000 a curse word.

00:27:54.320 But I'm not going

00:27:55.820 to tell you kids to

00:27:57.840 leave the room

00:27:58.400 because I'm not

00:27:58.980 going to use the

00:27:59.520 word.

00:28:00.160 But I want you in

00:28:00.980 your mind to

00:28:02.300 substitute that

00:28:03.340 word because it

00:28:05.880 makes it all

00:28:06.340 funnier because

00:28:07.720 it's coming from

00:28:08.360 Bernie Sanders and

00:28:09.440 he's talking to

00:28:10.160 Manu Raju of

00:28:11.140 CNN.

00:28:12.120 So Manu Raju

00:28:12.900 asked him for his

00:28:14.500 time frame for a

00:28:15.260 decision and

00:28:15.920 reportedly Bernie

00:28:16.980 looked at him and

00:28:17.720 said, quote,

00:28:19.320 I'm dealing with

00:28:20.200 an effing global

00:28:21.240 crisis.

00:28:22.240 Right now I'm

00:28:23.020 trying to do my

00:28:23.680 best to make sure

00:28:24.400 that we don't

00:28:24.840 have an economic

00:28:26.520 meltdown and that

00:28:27.840 people don't die.

00:28:29.180 Is that enough for

00:28:29.940 you to keep me

00:28:30.600 busy for today?

00:28:35.840 Bernie.

00:28:38.860 The only thing I'm

00:28:40.140 going to like better

00:28:40.780 than Bernie running

00:28:41.720 for president is

00:28:43.320 Bernie knowing he's

00:28:44.200 not going to be

00:28:44.740 president.

00:28:46.420 You know, Bernie

00:28:47.560 unleashed.

00:28:49.800 Once he knows he

00:28:50.700 doesn't have to do

00:28:51.420 things or say things

00:28:52.460 that are going to

00:28:52.880 make him president

00:28:53.500 because that's not

00:28:54.140 going to happen.

00:28:55.400 It looks like, you

00:28:56.260 know, at least

00:28:56.840 internally one could

00:28:58.480 imagine that he's

00:29:00.220 made that decision.

00:29:01.240 Who knows?

00:29:01.760 You know, I can't

00:29:02.240 read his mind.

00:29:03.060 But if you say to

00:29:05.060 the CNN, if you

00:29:07.260 turn to the CNN

00:29:08.040 person and say, I'm

00:29:09.260 dealing with an

00:29:09.820 effing global

00:29:10.440 crisis.

00:29:11.200 Right now I'm

00:29:11.780 trying to do my

00:29:12.380 best to make sure

00:29:13.060 that we don't have

00:29:13.700 an economic meltdown

00:29:16.540 and that people

00:29:16.920 don't die.

00:29:17.480 Is that enough for

00:29:18.020 you to keep me

00:29:18.480 busy today?

00:29:21.140 Trump has never

00:29:22.520 dealt with CNN

00:29:23.180 that well.

00:29:25.560 All right.

00:29:26.340 Here's some more

00:29:27.320 potential good news.

00:29:30.220 It's good news that

00:29:33.080 emanates from a

00:29:35.400 horrible news.

00:29:36.700 So let me not

00:29:37.380 underplay the

00:29:38.980 horribleness of what

00:29:40.140 I'm going to say.

00:29:40.700 I don't want to be

00:29:41.200 Vanessa Hudgens and

00:29:42.360 be viral tomorrow

00:29:44.160 because I said

00:29:45.740 anything positive.

00:29:47.200 But there was a

00:29:48.860 apparently a family

00:29:50.060 of seven members

00:29:51.000 who all got it and

00:29:52.040 three of them died.

00:29:53.680 Now that's the

00:29:55.240 tragedy, obviously.

00:29:56.560 So, you know,

00:29:58.480 things can't get

00:29:59.120 worse for this

00:29:59.620 family and, you

00:30:00.420 know, and so we

00:30:02.320 feel for them.

00:30:04.060 But if three

00:30:05.160 members of the

00:30:05.700 same family die,

00:30:06.880 there's a little

00:30:07.600 flag that goes off

00:30:08.980 in your head that

00:30:09.620 says, genetic?

00:30:12.280 Is it genetic?

00:30:13.680 Now, it's too

00:30:14.720 early to say yes,

00:30:16.540 although there's

00:30:17.240 strong reason to

00:30:18.140 believe that there

00:30:18.740 might be.

00:30:19.180 But this family,

00:30:21.500 and I don't mean

00:30:22.120 to be unkind,

00:30:22.960 but they did show

00:30:23.940 a family picture

00:30:24.800 and I'll just say

00:30:26.580 that they don't

00:30:28.600 look like they go

00:30:29.200 to the gym a lot.

00:30:30.060 I'll just say that.

00:30:31.080 Okay?

00:30:31.480 So you can't rule

00:30:32.600 out that it was

00:30:34.380 an unusually

00:30:35.440 non-health-related

00:30:39.300 family.

00:30:39.920 I just don't want

00:30:40.540 to be unkind.

00:30:42.040 So you can't rule

00:30:42.840 out that there was

00:30:43.400 just something about

00:30:43.940 the family, they

00:30:44.700 weren't taking care

00:30:45.540 of themselves, and

00:30:46.340 that had something

00:30:47.100 to do with it.

00:30:47.720 But I'm not

00:30:48.960 suggesting that.

00:30:49.760 I'm just saying

00:30:50.260 that we don't

00:30:50.800 know the situation.

00:30:52.320 I'm definitely

00:30:53.000 not suggesting that.

00:30:54.100 Just saying it's

00:30:54.600 in the list of

00:30:56.160 things you would

00:30:56.580 look at.

00:30:57.820 The other

00:30:58.420 possibility is,

00:31:00.180 and again, this

00:31:00.880 is very non-scientific

00:31:02.920 what I'm going to

00:31:03.460 say, just something

00:31:04.760 that would be in

00:31:05.540 the hypothesis

00:31:06.340 category, maybe a

00:31:08.340 little bit more

00:31:08.920 than a hypothesis,

00:31:10.360 which is that the

00:31:11.680 viral load makes

00:31:13.780 a difference.

00:31:15.120 So if somebody

00:31:15.980 in your family gets

00:31:16.880 it and you're in

00:31:17.500 close quarters, you

00:31:19.400 may be getting a

00:31:20.480 big dose of the

00:31:21.940 virus, and then

00:31:23.060 maybe three people

00:31:24.580 in the family have

00:31:25.400 it, and you're

00:31:25.960 getting a real big

00:31:26.900 dose.

00:31:27.900 So the entire

00:31:29.000 story could be

00:31:30.040 that once the

00:31:31.440 family got it, they

00:31:32.240 were just too

00:31:33.540 close and didn't

00:31:34.340 have enough

00:31:34.720 ventilation, and so

00:31:36.200 they just stewed

00:31:37.000 in it until they

00:31:37.640 got the worst

00:31:38.200 possible degree of

00:31:39.540 the infection, in

00:31:41.640 the same way that

00:31:42.260 a nursing home

00:31:43.280 got it worse, in

00:31:45.200 the same way that

00:31:45.880 the cruise ship

00:31:46.640 got it worse, because

00:31:48.180 the marinating and

00:31:49.420 the extra virus

00:31:50.420 might make a

00:31:51.460 difference.

00:31:52.640 And you could

00:31:53.220 kind of

00:31:53.940 commonsensically

00:31:54.860 see why that

00:31:55.640 would make sense,

00:31:56.620 even if your

00:31:57.520 common sense doesn't

00:31:58.460 match actual

00:31:59.040 science.

00:32:00.080 So this is just a

00:32:01.480 question.

00:32:02.540 But I said this

00:32:03.920 before, if you

00:32:04.480 had a, if your

00:32:05.580 virus got into you

00:32:06.600 just one way, let's

00:32:08.340 say you touched

00:32:08.900 your mouth after you

00:32:09.840 touched something,

00:32:11.420 is that a slow

00:32:12.960 building virus that

00:32:14.840 gives your body

00:32:15.820 time to build up

00:32:16.680 some defenses,

00:32:18.040 versus, you

00:32:18.960 know, if I

00:32:19.260 walked up to

00:32:19.740 you with a

00:32:20.160 fire hose full

00:32:20.980 of virus and

00:32:21.620 just sprayed it

00:32:22.220 all over your

00:32:22.700 body, and it

00:32:23.640 was getting in

00:32:24.280 every crack and

00:32:25.660 hole in your 0.53

00:32:26.140 body at the

00:32:26.680 same time, would

00:32:28.400 you recover just

00:32:29.140 as quickly?

00:32:30.780 Now, my common

00:32:31.540 sense, informed

00:32:32.840 by exactly zero

00:32:34.100 science and zero

00:32:35.080 medical knowledge,

00:32:37.120 is that I think

00:32:38.820 it would be worse

00:32:39.540 if you got the

00:32:40.320 fire hose of

00:32:41.100 virus versus the 0.76

00:32:42.780 little pinprick of

00:32:43.640 virus as your

00:32:44.580 initial infection,

00:32:47.020 right?

00:32:47.700 I mean, maybe

00:32:49.320 somebody can tell

00:32:50.040 me if that's just

00:32:50.920 crazy, but I think

00:32:52.460 there's at least

00:32:53.620 some medical

00:32:54.260 intuition that

00:32:55.740 people have had

00:32:56.240 about that.

00:32:57.040 So, anyway,

00:32:58.680 where I'm going

00:32:59.120 on this is that

00:33:00.060 there are people

00:33:01.380 looking to do

00:33:02.520 genetic testing.

00:33:03.760 If they can get

00:33:04.740 samples of this

00:33:05.620 family, samples of

00:33:06.800 other people who

00:33:07.560 have had good

00:33:08.980 experiences and bad

00:33:10.500 experiences, there's

00:33:11.900 a very strong

00:33:12.760 feeling that there's

00:33:14.020 something about

00:33:14.540 the genetic

00:33:15.820 lung composition

00:33:18.040 of some people

00:33:18.860 that makes them

00:33:19.360 more susceptible.

00:33:25.040 And we have

00:33:27.180 the companies

00:33:28.260 that can do

00:33:28.820 that.

00:33:29.580 We certainly

00:33:30.720 must have enough

00:33:31.520 samples that exist.

00:33:33.940 You know, getting

00:33:34.420 permission to get

00:33:35.360 those samples,

00:33:36.140 getting permission

00:33:36.680 to test, and then

00:33:37.940 getting enough of

00:33:38.620 them that you

00:33:39.020 have a useful

00:33:40.380 thing, could

00:33:43.080 tell us a lot.

00:33:44.280 So, remember,

00:33:45.180 this is an

00:33:45.720 information problem

00:33:47.000 disguised as a

00:33:49.200 health problem.

00:33:51.180 And if we could

00:33:52.760 take everybody's

00:33:53.700 DNA, imagine we

00:33:55.300 could test you,

00:33:56.120 test you at home,

00:33:57.080 you spit in the 0.94

00:33:57.900 test tube, just

00:33:58.580 like 23andMe,

00:34:00.400 but you put a lot

00:34:01.540 more resources

00:34:02.220 against testing.

00:34:04.640 Wouldn't you

00:34:05.160 like to know?

00:34:07.720 And in my case,

00:34:08.960 I've already done

00:34:09.520 a 23andMe, so I

00:34:11.440 don't know if that

00:34:12.340 means they could

00:34:13.040 just use what

00:34:13.720 they already

00:34:14.060 have.

00:34:15.260 That would be

00:34:15.960 big.

00:34:16.800 So somebody has

00:34:17.500 to answer me

00:34:18.040 this question,

00:34:18.740 please.

00:34:20.100 Those little

00:34:20.980 tests that already

00:34:21.980 exist, 23andMe

00:34:23.300 and such, if you've

00:34:24.680 already taken that,

00:34:26.980 did 23andMe and

00:34:28.440 the other companies

00:34:29.440 that do that sort

00:34:30.140 of thing, do they

00:34:31.180 keep a full profile

00:34:32.520 of your DNA?

00:34:34.380 Or do they just

00:34:35.160 pick out the parts

00:34:36.140 that they know

00:34:36.700 how to deal with

00:34:37.540 and literally

00:34:39.000 delete the rest?

00:34:41.360 Or not test the

00:34:42.240 rest?

00:34:42.480 I don't know how

00:34:42.960 that works.

00:34:44.100 But do we

00:34:45.800 already have a

00:34:47.500 pretty big database

00:34:48.360 that's a full,

00:34:50.160 it'd have to be a

00:34:50.800 full spectrum,

00:34:51.520 right?

00:34:51.560 You'd have to look

00:34:52.080 at the whole DNA.

00:34:53.280 Do we have that

00:34:54.060 already?

00:34:55.060 Because if we do,

00:34:56.760 imagine you find

00:34:57.680 out that your

00:34:58.220 lung receptors are

00:35:00.740 the type that

00:35:01.420 are the bad

00:35:01.880 kind, or the

00:35:03.240 kind that you're

00:35:04.040 most likely to,

00:35:05.200 people in the

00:35:06.380 comments are

00:35:06.840 saying that they

00:35:07.340 have the full

00:35:07.820 DNA.

00:35:09.460 I can't guarantee

00:35:10.640 that's true,

00:35:11.660 but a lot of

00:35:12.760 smart people here

00:35:13.600 are suggesting

00:35:14.240 that that's

00:35:15.760 hard.

00:35:16.340 Somebody is

00:35:16.960 saying in the

00:35:17.380 comments that

00:35:18.000 saliva is the

00:35:19.020 hardest thing to

00:35:19.980 test for viruses,

00:35:21.360 but that's not

00:35:21.820 what we're talking

00:35:22.400 about.

00:35:23.080 We're not talking

00:35:23.980 about saliva to

00:35:24.880 test if you have

00:35:25.600 the virus.

00:35:26.600 I'm talking about

00:35:27.320 using saliva to

00:35:28.380 test if you have

00:35:29.520 the genetic

00:35:30.060 makeup that

00:35:31.400 would make you

00:35:31.980 especially

00:35:32.660 susceptible to

00:35:34.160 the virus, or

00:35:35.180 in the best

00:35:35.620 case, especially

00:35:36.880 non-susceptible.

00:35:39.860 So, that's

00:35:41.280 another weapon.

00:35:42.580 So, let me

00:35:43.220 list these.

00:35:43.760 So, we've got

00:35:44.160 the medicines

00:35:46.780 that appear to

00:35:47.500 be 100%

00:35:48.420 effective in

00:35:49.640 trials.

00:35:50.800 We've got

00:35:51.720 test kits that

00:35:54.020 you'll be able

00:35:54.380 to test at

00:35:54.940 home.

00:35:55.260 We just have

00:35:55.760 to ramp it

00:35:56.300 up.

00:35:57.240 We've got

00:35:57.780 this genetic

00:35:58.820 potential that I

00:36:00.040 think is

00:36:00.320 actually a

00:36:00.740 really high

00:36:01.160 potential to

00:36:02.580 be something

00:36:03.960 positive here and

00:36:05.020 really give us

00:36:06.280 more information

00:36:06.940 about who to

00:36:07.460 protect the

00:36:08.000 most.

00:36:09.100 We've got

00:36:09.660 the indication

00:36:12.180 that the

00:36:13.020 blood serum

00:36:14.500 thing should be

00:36:16.780 effective, and

00:36:17.680 we'll have more

00:36:19.200 information soon

00:36:20.120 with the test

00:36:20.660 kits of who's

00:36:21.400 recovered, etc.

00:36:22.480 You can see it

00:36:23.340 coming all

00:36:23.680 together, can't

00:36:24.260 you?

00:36:24.380 And I

00:36:27.260 think we'll

00:36:27.600 be making

00:36:27.980 more masks

00:36:28.540 and ventilators

00:36:29.400 too.

00:36:31.700 Apparently, I

00:36:33.460 predicted that

00:36:34.240 the drive-in

00:36:34.960 theaters would

00:36:35.680 start popping

00:36:37.440 up.

00:36:38.140 Now, I

00:36:38.420 don't know if

00:36:38.800 anybody's

00:36:39.300 actually popped

00:36:41.040 up an actual

00:36:41.860 drive-in theater

00:36:43.480 just for the

00:36:44.320 crisis, but

00:36:45.220 apparently the

00:36:45.700 ones that

00:36:46.040 exist, there

00:36:46.740 still are some,

00:36:47.620 are doing good

00:36:48.220 business.

00:36:50.540 Oh, somebody

00:36:50.940 said that I was

00:36:51.620 in the red now.

00:36:52.420 Is that true?

00:36:52.780 If that's

00:36:56.060 true, it's not

00:36:56.940 yet showing up

00:36:57.760 on my stock

00:36:58.360 ticker, but

00:36:58.920 there is a

00:36:59.360 delay there, so

00:37:00.860 I wouldn't

00:37:01.700 take that as

00:37:02.740 true yet, but

00:37:04.960 keep an eye on

00:37:05.480 it.

00:37:09.880 So, think

00:37:11.400 about all

00:37:12.040 those things

00:37:12.940 that are

00:37:15.600 positive today.

00:37:17.860 Now,

00:37:18.780 I actually

00:37:21.900 scouted a

00:37:22.700 location in

00:37:23.680 my neighborhood.

00:37:24.620 There's a,

00:37:25.140 what would

00:37:27.780 you call it,

00:37:28.260 a strip

00:37:28.720 mall that's

00:37:29.260 closed.

00:37:30.640 So, well,

00:37:32.100 the anchor

00:37:32.820 store is

00:37:33.240 closed, some

00:37:33.760 of the small

00:37:34.120 ones are still

00:37:34.540 there, but

00:37:35.220 the parking

00:37:35.680 lot is empty

00:37:36.300 because the

00:37:36.920 remaining stores

00:37:37.980 are sort of

00:37:39.500 onesie, twosie

00:37:40.320 customer situations,

00:37:41.740 so there's this

00:37:42.420 vast parking

00:37:43.100 lot in the

00:37:44.140 middle of my

00:37:44.620 neighborhood with

00:37:45.300 nothing to do.

00:37:46.520 and how

00:37:48.460 hard could

00:37:48.900 it be,

00:37:50.380 how hard

00:37:53.380 could it

00:37:53.700 be to put

00:37:55.140 up a

00:37:55.440 temporary

00:37:55.820 screen and

00:37:56.880 then, I

00:37:57.400 don't know

00:37:57.720 what technology

00:37:58.480 it is, but

00:37:59.140 you should be

00:37:59.900 able to

00:38:00.220 stream to

00:38:00.760 the car

00:38:01.120 radios,

00:38:01.680 right?

00:38:01.940 If you have

00:38:02.320 the right

00:38:02.580 technology,

00:38:03.460 you can do

00:38:04.300 a short

00:38:04.820 range FM

00:38:05.720 situation,

00:38:06.960 correct me if

00:38:07.500 I'm wrong,

00:38:08.140 but if

00:38:08.600 somebody can

00:38:09.040 tell me what

00:38:09.580 product that

00:38:11.360 is,

00:38:11.760 why is

00:38:15.240 everybody

00:38:15.460 saying the

00:38:15.920 market is

00:38:16.420 down when

00:38:17.880 my ticker is

00:38:18.740 not showing

00:38:19.360 that?

00:38:20.820 Is that the

00:38:21.300 delay?

00:38:21.620 Oh, yeah, it

00:38:22.060 did turn down.

00:38:23.300 So, yeah, there's

00:38:23.820 a ticker delay,

00:38:24.760 so it just

00:38:25.240 turned down.

00:38:26.260 So, here's what

00:38:26.920 you're going to

00:38:27.620 see today.

00:38:30.640 You're going to

00:38:31.160 see news of

00:38:32.280 the potential

00:38:33.500 cure, you're

00:38:34.440 going to see

00:38:34.580 lots of good

00:38:35.060 news about

00:38:35.480 lots of

00:38:35.780 things, but

00:38:36.740 the market is

00:38:37.660 also going to

00:38:38.240 be seeing

00:38:38.640 massive bad

00:38:39.560 news.

00:38:40.460 So, you're

00:38:41.140 going to see

00:38:41.400 more news

00:38:41.740 news today

00:38:42.260 than you've

00:38:42.560 ever seen

00:38:42.860 in your

00:38:43.040 life, but

00:38:43.620 like, you

00:38:44.720 know, 80%

00:38:45.580 of it is

00:38:45.980 going to

00:38:46.120 be bad,

00:38:46.840 because it's

00:38:47.320 people having

00:38:48.020 a bad time

00:38:48.620 right now,

00:38:49.760 and that 20%

00:38:50.880 is going to

00:38:51.460 be, I

00:38:51.940 think we

00:38:52.280 can get a

00:38:53.160 handle on

00:38:53.580 it.

00:38:54.940 I think we

00:38:55.620 can get a

00:38:56.000 handle on

00:38:56.400 it.

00:38:57.500 All right, so

00:38:58.160 people are

00:38:58.520 saying the

00:38:58.940 Dow is down.

00:39:00.800 You should

00:39:01.280 expect a lot

00:39:03.560 of choppiness

00:39:04.200 in the next

00:39:05.000 two weeks.

00:39:09.040 How are

00:39:09.620 you doing

00:39:10.660 on your

00:39:11.380 micro steps?

00:39:14.200 Let me

00:39:14.480 give you a

00:39:16.160 way to get

00:39:16.940 going, because

00:39:18.240 no matter what,

00:39:18.960 we're probably

00:39:19.340 going to be

00:39:19.740 holed up for a

00:39:20.660 few more

00:39:21.000 weeks, right?

00:39:21.980 Best case

00:39:22.660 scenario, we're

00:39:23.260 still going to be

00:39:23.660 staying home a lot.

00:39:24.300 best case

00:39:30.120 scenario, we'll be

00:39:33.100 staying home a

00:39:33.660 lot, no matter

00:39:34.580 what, and

00:39:35.700 here's my

00:39:37.460 recommendation, and

00:39:38.640 I'm using this

00:39:39.500 process myself.

00:39:41.300 Micro steps.

00:39:42.500 I talked about

00:39:43.040 this before, but

00:39:43.800 it's a real good

00:39:44.860 time to talk about

00:39:45.580 it again.

00:39:46.640 So my new

00:39:49.180 skill that I

00:39:49.860 plan to pick up

00:39:50.700 in the next few

00:39:51.340 weeks, it has to

00:39:52.400 do with my

00:39:52.840 studio equipment,

00:39:53.880 and there's

00:39:54.180 some new

00:39:54.600 software that I

00:39:55.920 have to load and

00:39:56.660 learn and use it

00:39:57.860 all together, etc.

00:39:58.840 So I have my

00:40:00.160 body of learning

00:40:01.420 that I need to

00:40:02.260 complete.

00:40:03.300 Now if I think

00:40:03.920 about all of it,

00:40:05.680 it's easy to

00:40:06.620 ignore it, because

00:40:07.980 it's like, well,

00:40:08.480 it's going to be a

00:40:09.420 lot of work.

00:40:10.340 I don't really feel

00:40:11.100 like doing a lot

00:40:11.620 of work.

00:40:12.140 Who knows?

00:40:12.640 So it's easy to

00:40:14.980 ignore it if I

00:40:15.660 see it as this

00:40:16.260 big, hard thing.

00:40:17.820 So instead, I

00:40:18.760 say, well, I'm

00:40:19.500 just going to do

00:40:19.960 one micro step.

00:40:23.480 So I did that

00:40:24.400 yesterday or the

00:40:25.420 day before.

00:40:26.680 I talked to the

00:40:28.160 person who makes

00:40:29.000 the software, and

00:40:29.760 he explained how

00:40:30.380 to use it, and

00:40:31.220 arranging to

00:40:32.340 purchase it, etc.

00:40:35.200 So it's a very

00:40:36.540 small thing.

00:40:38.040 I just made a

00:40:39.220 phone call,

00:40:41.080 checked some

00:40:41.560 stuff.

00:40:42.620 So if you're

00:40:43.440 thinking about

00:40:43.980 learning something,

00:40:45.400 do that.

00:40:46.580 Do the smallest

00:40:47.400 step.

00:40:48.260 If you're thinking

00:40:48.860 about, oh, I'd

00:40:49.600 like to pick up

00:40:50.340 some skills in,

00:40:51.180 let's say, marketing.

00:40:54.380 The smallest step

00:40:55.740 is to find the

00:40:57.440 online course that

00:40:59.420 is offering it,

00:41:00.260 and there are a

00:41:01.020 few.

00:41:01.540 So just do the

00:41:02.240 smallest thing.

00:41:03.020 If you think

00:41:03.600 taking a class

00:41:04.780 sounds like a

00:41:05.540 lot of work,

00:41:07.160 just find out

00:41:07.860 where it is.

00:41:08.880 That's all.

00:41:09.760 Don't commit to

00:41:10.420 anything else.

00:41:10.980 Just find out

00:41:11.880 where it is.

00:41:13.460 And then the

00:41:14.060 next day, maybe

00:41:15.460 sign up.

00:41:16.340 You don't even

00:41:16.780 have to look at

00:41:17.960 any of the

00:41:18.280 course materials.

00:41:19.160 Just sign up.

00:41:21.000 Ten minutes.

00:41:22.440 And the next

00:41:24.740 day, just say,

00:41:26.440 you know, I'll

00:41:27.500 sample it.

00:41:28.740 I'll look at

00:41:29.600 this for five

00:41:30.200 minutes.

00:41:31.140 So that's the

00:41:32.420 key.

00:41:33.240 You won't have

00:41:35.420 many times in

00:41:36.200 your life where

00:41:37.780 you're going to

00:41:38.060 have this much

00:41:38.640 spare time that

00:41:40.580 you can't

00:41:41.160 productively do

00:41:42.120 something outside

00:41:42.700 the house.

00:41:43.840 So use it.

00:41:45.800 You know, learn

00:41:46.380 a skill.

00:41:46.900 Fix up your

00:41:47.400 house.

00:41:48.260 Fix your space.

00:41:49.940 Find a way to

00:41:51.080 take advantage of

00:41:52.320 this little

00:41:52.800 coronavirus holiday

00:41:54.660 we're having.

00:41:55.220 here.

00:41:59.500 Let's see.

00:42:00.160 I want to make

00:42:00.560 sure that...

00:42:02.220 Oh, I forgot

00:42:04.040 all about this

00:42:04.640 too.

00:42:05.500 So I mentioned

00:42:06.160 this yesterday,

00:42:06.880 but some of you

00:42:08.380 have only watched

00:42:08.920 in the morning.

00:42:10.000 Health and

00:42:10.500 Human Services

00:42:11.200 announced that

00:42:13.760 telehealth doctors

00:42:15.120 will be able,

00:42:16.180 and I don't know,

00:42:16.900 maybe it's in

00:42:18.060 general, but

00:42:18.960 doctors will be

00:42:19.740 able to practice

00:42:20.880 across state

00:42:21.820 borders.

00:42:22.180 So the federal

00:42:23.740 government has

00:42:24.540 just overruled

00:42:25.740 all the state

00:42:26.360 boards that

00:42:27.320 control the

00:42:27.840 stuff, and

00:42:28.800 just said, at

00:42:29.920 least for the

00:42:30.400 duration of the

00:42:31.840 emergency, the

00:42:33.360 doctors can

00:42:34.120 practice across

00:42:35.440 state borders,

00:42:36.380 effectively tripling

00:42:37.580 the capacity in

00:42:39.260 one day.

00:42:40.600 Pretty amazing.

00:42:42.260 Can somebody tell

00:42:43.060 me the name of

00:42:43.880 the M. 0.71

00:42:44.480 Night Shyamala

00:42:45.580 movie in

00:42:47.040 which, I think,

00:42:48.120 Mel Gibson was

00:42:48.900 in it, and

00:42:49.580 aliens came 0.85

00:42:53.700 down, and

00:42:54.680 they couldn't be

00:42:55.840 stopped, but it

00:42:57.340 turns out that the

00:42:58.340 solution was

00:42:59.180 water.

00:43:00.900 So when they

00:43:01.700 thought everything

00:43:02.280 was doomed,

00:43:03.840 there was no way

00:43:04.340 to solve it.

00:43:05.580 Oh, it's called

00:43:06.060 Signs.

00:43:06.820 Thank you.

00:43:07.460 Very quick.

00:43:08.660 Yeah, so the

00:43:09.100 movie is called

00:43:09.680 Signs.

00:43:11.140 And I've got to

00:43:12.360 tell you that from

00:43:13.060 the very first

00:43:13.960 start of this

00:43:16.100 coronavirus crisis,

00:43:17.380 I couldn't get

00:43:18.580 that movie out

00:43:19.280 of my head.

00:43:21.060 And the part of

00:43:21.980 it I couldn't get

00:43:22.600 out of my head

00:43:22.980 was just the

00:43:23.540 specific part where

00:43:25.480 there was a

00:43:26.920 weapon that

00:43:27.560 existed, and it

00:43:28.600 was widely

00:43:29.120 available, literally

00:43:30.060 it was water, and

00:43:31.680 the aliens were

00:43:32.560 killed by water.

00:43:34.360 And I thought to

00:43:36.800 myself, I don't

00:43:37.720 know why I can't

00:43:38.280 shake this.

00:43:38.900 I feel like there's

00:43:39.680 an existing

00:43:40.380 substance or

00:43:43.220 something on

00:43:44.000 Earth that we

00:43:45.280 just have to

00:43:45.800 figure out what

00:43:46.400 it is.

00:43:47.380 And I think we

00:43:48.780 did that.

00:43:49.940 We, the

00:43:50.700 public.

00:43:51.800 We, the

00:43:52.220 scientists, anyway.

00:43:55.840 I guess that's

00:43:56.420 not we.

00:43:57.440 So, I

00:44:00.660 couldn't get that

00:44:01.240 out of my head.

00:44:02.000 And this feels

00:44:03.280 like the third

00:44:04.000 act of a movie,

00:44:06.140 where you're in

00:44:07.120 that impossible

00:44:07.800 situation, and

00:44:08.800 then you realize

00:44:09.360 that water kills 0.59

00:44:10.340 the aliens.

00:44:11.540 And I feel like

00:44:12.160 that was the

00:44:12.800 movie that we

00:44:13.380 just found

00:44:13.800 ourselves in,

00:44:14.340 with this

00:44:14.840 chloroquine,

00:44:16.540 whatever it is,

00:44:18.180 stuff.

00:44:18.980 All right.

00:44:20.660 That's all I

00:44:21.300 got for today.

00:44:22.720 I think it's

00:44:23.480 plenty.

00:44:25.340 And,

00:44:25.860 and, uh,

00:44:29.420 hope you're all

00:44:30.180 feeling better.

00:44:31.480 Get your

00:44:31.900 blanket, and I

00:44:33.080 will talk to you

00:44:33.780 later.

00:44:34.940 This is

00:44:48.020 the

00:44:48.440 two

00:44:48.740 you

00:44:49.480 have

00:44:49.900 in

00:44:50.380 the

00:44:52.100 little

00:44:52.500 of

00:44:53.040 what

00:44:53.620 AfD

00:44:54.220 you

00:44:54.280 have

00:44:54.900 you

00:44:55.340 have

00:44:55.400 to
