Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 878 Scott Adams： The Simultaneous Swaddle is Not Clinically Proven to Cure Coronavirus, But I Feel Good About it

00:00:00.000 Hey, come on in here, Jeff. Do you have your blanket?

00:00:11.800 It's time to swaddle. Self-swaddling is in the house.

00:00:17.200 Yes, we're doing a little social distancing.

00:00:20.560 It's not easy for anybody.

00:00:25.060 Well, come on in here and we'll answer your questions and talk about it.

00:00:28.920 So, yes, Greg Guffield's on, but so is your DVR.

00:00:35.940 Or you could watch this later, after you watch Greg Guffield.

00:00:40.100 That's a good idea, too.

00:00:42.700 Yes, we're in our soft blankets. We're feeling better about the coronavirus situation.

00:00:48.620 I was just watching a video from a doctor who was in the front lines in New York City,

00:00:54.880 and it was very interesting.

00:00:56.160 So, he had some tips and information that I had not heard before, and I forget his name,

00:01:02.840 but he's an actual doctor working on the front lines, and he's intubating people and putting them on ventilators and all that stuff.

00:01:11.200 So, he seemed to know what he was talking about.

00:01:13.000 And here are the things he said that you sort of suspected were true, but you wondered in no particular order.

00:01:20.020 One was that he's not seen anybody under 14 who's having a problem, but he's definitely seeing people like in their 20s.

00:01:31.820 So, he says it's affecting all age groups, but, you know, the older you are, the worse.

00:01:37.460 But under 14, basically, he's saying we're just not seeing it.

00:01:41.220 So, that's good news.

00:01:43.380 The other good news is that he recommends wearing masks more than the recommendations you've been seeing up to now,

00:01:51.640 primarily so you don't touch your face, which is a good point.

00:01:55.460 I think the other point is if you happen to be asymptomatic shedding,

00:01:59.700 it would be good to have a mask on, too, if you're going outside.

00:02:04.360 But he had a very sort of an upbeat opinion of how we could manage this if we modified our behavior.

00:02:12.760 And his take was that the primary, primary, primary mode of transmission

00:02:19.540 was people touching something that people, somebody else had breathed on, you know, little droplets,

00:02:25.900 or sneezed on or coughed on or breathed on, and then touching their face soon after.

00:02:31.520 And he said if you could just take that part out,

00:02:35.460 you would remove so much of the transmission that it would basically be done.

00:02:40.760 But how easy is it to not touch your face?

00:02:44.380 I tell you, you watch a video about not touching your face,

00:02:47.300 and you're going to have the same problem I'm having right now,

00:02:49.020 which is really makes you want to touch your face.

00:02:51.160 So, but anyway, he suggested that if you wore masks, and that's just common sense,

00:02:59.820 it might help train you to do that.

00:03:02.020 So that's encouraging.

00:03:05.100 The other thing he said, which directly counters one of the bad pieces of information

00:03:11.620 I'd seen on somewhere on the Internet,

00:03:14.540 I'd read somebody said that when people go on ventilators,

00:03:18.720 that it's basically just the beginning of the end,

00:03:22.300 and that once you're on a ventilator, well, you're not going to make it, you know, except dead.

00:03:27.620 It's just sort of stalling the inevitable.

00:03:30.380 But this doctor said directly the opposite, directly the opposite.

00:03:34.700 He said we put you on the ventilator with the intention of getting you off the ventilator,

00:03:39.300 and most of the time it actually happens.

00:03:41.380 So directly opposite what I had heard from non-credible sources

00:03:47.620 is that if you get put on a ventilator, even as bad as that is,

00:03:53.840 apparently, you know, the strong majority of people get on the ventilator

00:03:58.200 also get off and get better.

00:04:02.360 Now, he didn't seem to, I don't remember him mentioning the hydroxychloroquine,

00:04:09.000 which seemed conspicuously missing.

00:04:12.480 He also seemed to think that any kind of mask was better than none,

00:04:16.420 you know, which we're hearing.

00:04:18.080 So are you following the weird disinformation coming out of the World Health Organization?

00:04:25.500 Apparently, you know, the people say that China is,

00:04:29.980 they're a puppet of China or something.

00:04:33.280 I don't know if any of that's true.

00:04:34.440 But they certainly don't seem like a health organization.

00:04:39.500 There was, even up until today, they're telling people that masks don't help.

00:04:45.000 And every person who's not even an expert is just saying,

00:04:48.580 it's not even slightly believable that they wouldn't have some impact.

00:04:57.180 You know, it's not, nothing's 100%.

00:04:59.220 So at this point, we're being lied to by health organizations.

00:05:04.660 We're being lied to by our own government.

00:05:08.160 Although I don't mind it so much if the intention of the lying is to prevent hoarding.

00:05:13.560 I think that would be allowable in my ethical judgment of things.

00:05:20.440 Because sometimes you do need to lie to your public for their own benefit.

00:05:26.000 If that was the intention, I'd be okay with that.

00:05:29.220 But nonetheless, we're getting disinformation from other countries.

00:05:34.380 We know China is lying to us.

00:05:36.560 We don't really trust anybody's numbers.

00:05:38.700 We're not even sure our own numbers are good or our own recommendations.

00:05:43.240 So don't trust anybody for a while.

00:05:45.980 There is a group of people who are the heroes of the moment that I don't think are getting enough attention as a group.

00:05:57.980 And that's the engineers.

00:05:59.040 If you think about it, the body human, you know, all of humanity together is banded together and everybody's sort of spontaneously filled their little areas of expertise and doing what we can.

00:06:15.480 But I would say the two biggest forces in the military, if you will, are the scientists and doctors on one side, but then the engineers.

00:06:29.500 And here's what the engineers have done already, if you're keeping score, right?

00:06:34.320 So the engineers have figured out how to modify ventilators to double or quadruple their effectiveness.

00:06:42.280 They figured out how to shrink tests, you know, down to a little kit that you can spit in, swab yourself, your own nose.

00:06:50.380 Engineers have figured out how to make a tabletop thing that will give you a result in 15 minutes.

00:06:58.100 What else have engineers done?

00:07:02.140 Engineers have figured out, you know, how to 3D print parts for ventilators.

00:07:07.180 Engineers have figured out how to make masks.

00:07:09.200 They're building engineers are retrofitting buildings to produce all the PPE and the other stuff.

00:07:16.380 Dyson completely reinvented a ventilator.

00:07:21.520 So engineers are really killing it right now.

00:07:26.960 And if you're waiting for the scientists to do their thing, that probably just takes a little longer.

00:07:35.180 But the reason that, my guess is that the reason you don't have plenty of the malaria drug, the so-called Trump pills,

00:07:42.040 is that the engineers need to probably re-engineer and expand the production.

00:07:48.780 I don't know if we can get all the meds we need just by running the, you know, the pill printing press more hours.

00:07:57.440 Maybe we can.

00:07:59.080 But my guess is the engineers are actually just building brand new production facilities out of nothing,

00:08:04.780 just all over the world for various things.

00:08:07.040 You know, you saw engineers build all kinds of websites for people to connect.

00:08:13.180 If you think about it, engineers are killing it.

00:08:16.820 Oh, and apps?

00:08:17.760 What about apps?

00:08:18.900 You know, all the various apps people have suggested, et cetera.

00:08:22.520 So if you look at what engineers have already contributed to the war,

00:08:29.740 it's really shockingly, amazingly, excitingly impressive.

00:08:38.420 Somebody says, my video stream keeps stopping.

00:08:42.600 Well, I can't do much about that.

00:08:47.600 Yeah, there's lots of news about Zoom.

00:08:50.380 I have such conflicting feelings about Zoom because as a product, it's amazing.

00:08:56.420 Zoom is one of just one of the great products.

00:08:58.700 It just is really well made.

00:09:00.320 It's bulletproof.

00:09:01.400 It does everything you want it to do.

00:09:04.000 But they have that problem that they have a lot of Chinese engineers in China,

00:09:08.260 and some of the traffic goes through China to their servers, I guess.

00:09:13.920 And that's a pretty, pretty big security risk for businesses who are using it.

00:09:25.760 Normal Periscope just sucks.

00:09:27.760 It sucks.

00:09:28.460 I don't know what that means.

00:09:31.760 All right.

00:09:32.260 I'm going to take some.

00:09:33.420 Oh, you know what?

00:09:34.080 I forgot to turn on the question mode, which means I can't actually take some questions.

00:09:39.780 So I did a tweet just before I got on here.

00:09:42.580 So I'm going to read the questions that you're putting in my Twitter feed, because I'm sure you did that.

00:09:54.660 But let's see.

00:10:00.360 Hold on.

00:10:02.400 All right.

00:10:03.040 So some questions.

00:10:05.280 David Angel says, I think you left out a word, but I think what you're trying to say is,

00:10:13.840 at what age did you realize you were smarter than average?

00:10:16.700 Well, you know what's funny about that is if you ask people, if you did a poll, and you ask people if they're smarter than average,

00:10:24.360 I think something like 80% of people say they're smarter than average.

00:10:27.740 So I just thought I'd give us some context there.

00:10:32.900 The answer to that question is five-ish.

00:10:39.340 By five, I was learning to, you know, read and became, slowly I became aware that other kids my age were not reading as well.

00:10:51.440 So I think that's when I noticed it, is around five, you know, I was just learning things a little faster.

00:11:02.420 Somebody says they're having a more fulfilling life, going on walks and relearning the piano.

00:11:07.900 I don't want to go back.

00:11:10.400 You know, there are going to be some people who believe that, or, I mean, I feel the same way.

00:11:15.480 There are going to be some people who, if they didn't get, you know, crushed or sick, or, you know,

00:11:21.040 the people who somehow avoided economic or health problems, are going to look back at this and say,

00:11:28.340 it was kind of some good time off to myself.

00:11:31.760 But other people are going to be suffering mightily.

00:11:35.460 All right.

00:11:36.760 Is the death rate flattening in New York?

00:11:40.580 And that is a good question.

00:11:42.620 Did anybody see the New York mortality rates for today?

00:11:50.120 I think it was flat for two days, but then somebody said it spiked again today.

00:11:56.660 I don't know if that's true.

00:11:59.240 You know, there's going to be a little bit of noise in it.

00:12:01.360 So no matter what direction things are moving, you should expect there'll be an up day and a down day.

00:12:06.140 But if I look down, 222 deaths, that was today.

00:12:15.600 And I think yesterday was much less than that, right?

00:12:20.120 Well, I'm getting different numbers today.

00:12:23.120 So I'll have to look at that.

00:12:23.980 Somebody says there's a big surge today.

00:12:25.540 So I don't know if every day tells you something, because you could just have, you know, coincidental good day, coincidental bad day.

00:12:36.520 So maybe a few more days will have a trend.

00:12:43.040 Has COVID mutated to several strains, some more deadly?

00:12:46.840 Well, I'm not exactly the right person to ask that question, but I read.

00:12:53.400 So I'll tell you what I read, which is that there's at least two strains, and one is more dangerous than the other.

00:13:02.220 But beyond that, I don't know.

00:13:03.780 They're supposed to mutate and become weaker over time, allegedly.

00:13:12.200 Let's see.

00:13:13.260 Just looking at your questions.

00:13:14.620 Most of your questions, or a lot of them, are about hydroxychloroquine.

00:13:24.720 All right.

00:13:25.640 What is the recovery rate for those sick enough to be put on a ventilator?

00:13:29.640 Oh, well, that's what I just said.

00:13:31.640 So based on the doctor whose name I don't remember, so, you know, judge the credibility accordingly.

00:13:39.680 Will you adopt me, Brandon says.

00:13:42.440 Yes, yes, I will.

00:13:44.620 Consider yourself adopted.

00:13:46.120 I don't have to fill out paperwork, do I?

00:13:49.580 Can a person get the seasonal flu and COVID-19 simultaneously?

00:13:54.620 I have no idea.

00:13:56.420 But don't you think it's happened to somebody?

00:14:00.300 Yeah.

00:14:01.560 If it's possible at all, you know it's happened to somebody.

00:14:05.240 And that's got to be a bad day.

00:14:11.000 But on the other hand, I don't know if it's possible.

00:14:14.240 Because if you get the seasonal flu, does your immunity, you know, rise to the challenge?

00:14:22.120 And then it gives you some immunity against something else?

00:14:25.660 I don't know.

00:14:27.020 I'm no doctor.

00:14:27.900 Do you think anything bad will happen to the World Health Organization?

00:14:32.760 Well, I think all their credibility is gone.

00:14:35.820 I don't know what they did before they decided to shamelessly lie in public in the most obvious way.

00:14:42.920 So I don't know enough about what they were doing before, but I hope it didn't depend on being credible, because that boat sailed.

00:14:51.360 Should we have early results from New York City about the hydroxychloroquine?

00:15:00.120 And the answer is yes, we should.

00:15:02.560 But if they still have a shortage problem, and we don't know about that, but if they still have a shortage of the meds,

00:15:10.280 they might not want to tell you any preliminary stuff that looks a little too positive,

00:15:14.900 not only because they want to make sure and wait longer, but probably wouldn't want you to get, you know, too worked up in trying to hoard it.

00:15:24.980 So in theory, we should know some stuff by now.

00:15:28.020 In reality, I don't know.

00:15:29.560 Now, the other thing I don't know is what kind of test it is.

00:15:33.400 Because apparently there's a big difference between giving it to somebody at first symptoms.

00:15:39.540 It's like, ah, I don't know if it's a flu or a cold or a COVID, we'll just take the malaria drug, the Trump pills.

00:15:47.480 Now, apparently, at least anecdotally, if you get it early, it makes a big difference.

00:15:52.960 But then there's also the thought that people on ventilators are getting benefits from it.

00:15:58.520 So I don't know which one they're testing, and it seems like they would get very different results from them.

00:16:02.900 So, can social distancing and handwashing reduce the R factor to below one in a hot zone?

00:16:14.000 I would think yes.

00:16:16.360 You know, but of course, everything's friction.

00:16:19.800 That doesn't mean it's easy.

00:16:24.180 But in a theoretical sense, could you just do enough handwashing and enough social distancing?

00:16:29.460 And also, if the weather is warmer, would those three things be enough to get the spread rate below one person giving it to one person?

00:16:41.360 Theoretically.

00:16:42.340 I just don't know how practical it is to get people to be that well-behaved.

00:16:47.440 But theoretically, yes.

00:16:51.500 Yeah, so there's news that you literally will have to escape from New York.

00:16:56.280 You know, Paging Snake Plissken was that the character in Escape from New York.

00:17:05.340 So, did you think you'd live to a day when you couldn't leave New York?

00:17:12.320 I'm hoping this is temporary.

00:17:14.960 But, and I'm sure that these things are well thought out.

00:17:18.340 Now, something that I tweeted that I probably just am going to remind you every single time I see you.

00:17:24.180 Nobody is really smart enough to know exactly what to do and when is the time to do it.

00:17:31.480 The moment you think that you know what's the right thing to do and the right time to do it,

00:17:37.520 that's when you should discount all of your own opinions forever.

00:17:42.580 Because that's just a crazy opinion.

00:17:45.760 You don't know.

00:17:47.020 I don't know.

00:17:47.860 Do you think there's anybody in the administration who knows, who knows what to do and also when to do it?

00:17:55.900 No.

00:17:56.660 But I guarantee you there are a variety of different opinions.

00:17:59.960 And whatever happens, somebody is going to look back and say,

00:18:04.320 well, you should have done what I said.

00:18:07.160 Or they're going to say, well, you did what I said and it worked out right.

00:18:11.320 So, I guess I'm a genius.

00:18:13.660 But the fact is, as long as there are lots of people with different ideas,

00:18:16.960 and I think the spectrum is from go back to work soon to keep the lockdown in place longer,

00:18:25.940 somebody is going to be right.

00:18:28.000 But that doesn't mean it's because they're smart.

00:18:31.380 And I would argue that there isn't anybody smart enough to know what is even right.

00:18:35.240 So, it's already bothering me in advance that people are going to claim genius for being on the right side of,

00:18:44.160 you know, the right amount of alarm or not.

00:18:48.260 Somebody was going to get it right.

00:18:50.220 It doesn't mean it was because you were smart.

00:18:53.080 It just means because everybody was all over the map.

00:18:56.140 It just has to be that some people get it right.

00:18:58.760 So, it's already bothering me in advance.

00:19:00.920 So, is Trump running unopposed at this point?

00:19:06.500 Basically.

00:19:07.920 Yeah.

00:19:08.640 Basically, Trump is running unopposed.

00:19:10.720 You know, in the virtual sense that Biden has disappeared and there's not much left of him.

00:19:15.540 And, you know, if you were to plot the curve, I was actually going to make a graph of this,

00:19:22.180 but it seemed too mean.

00:19:23.340 You know, to show the time to the convention and, you know, plot Biden's likely, you know, decline

00:19:32.020 and whether he can even make it to the convention.

00:19:35.400 It's actually going to be kind of close.

00:19:38.120 Because at this point, there's not much left of him.

00:19:41.240 He's sort of a, you know, stack of old magazines, as my friend once said.

00:19:45.460 But, so, you know, then people are talking about drafting Cuomo.

00:19:58.420 You know, I would have to say that Cuomo is charismatic and he does a really good job of empathy

00:20:07.280 and fighting for his people and, you know, taking responsibility and very leaderly things.

00:20:14.720 So, I would give Cuomo quite high marks, if I'm being objective,

00:20:19.440 quite high marks for how he's handling, you know, the public communication

00:20:23.700 and probably even the decisions because nobody's perfect.

00:20:26.480 You know, he's not going to get every call just right.

00:20:29.440 That's not a thing.

00:20:32.600 And then people are talking about drafting him.

00:20:34.840 But I thought, what would happen?

00:20:38.160 You know, what would have to be the publicly and generally recognized reason

00:20:44.220 that you would do that?

00:20:46.580 Could the Democrats at this late stage, and it would be even later than this

00:20:51.420 because Cuomo's not going to do anything while he's in the middle of this.

00:20:54.960 I mean, even if Cuomo got drafted, he's kind of busy, right?

00:21:00.100 If he started running for president next week, he's not the guy you want for president

00:21:05.120 because that's not what he ought to be doing in the middle of an emergency.

00:21:08.660 So, it doesn't seem to me there's any practical way that it could be done,

00:21:14.360 you know, given the timing, the emergency, the fact that it would be, you know,

00:21:18.820 how do you explain that Biden got this far?

00:21:22.460 How would the Democrats possibly explain that they let it get this far?

00:21:27.440 And you know what I'm talking about.

00:21:28.680 They can see it the same as you can, that Biden, you know, just doesn't have the juice.

00:21:37.060 And at some point, if they have to admit that they knew all along,

00:21:42.480 I mean, it's just so damning.

00:21:44.820 It's like, well, yeah, we knew there wasn't much left there,

00:21:49.120 but we didn't want to, you know, change horses.

00:21:52.780 There's just no way to, just can't be explained.

00:21:55.140 All right.

00:21:59.260 Who has impressed you the most during the pandemic?

00:22:03.120 Yeah, this is Adam Cornelius, and he says,

00:22:05.340 I'd like to VP all around.

00:22:07.060 Any others?

00:22:08.760 Well, you know, I say this all the time because I'm always impressed by it,

00:22:13.380 but Mike Pence is like the most solid utility, you know, six man.

00:22:23.040 He's really solid.

00:22:25.140 You know, not my choice for president.

00:22:28.300 You know, I don't, you know, certainly don't agree with him on, you know,

00:22:31.960 some of his social opinions.

00:22:33.900 I'm not religious.

00:22:34.920 So, you know, I don't, I don't map to his point of view.

00:22:40.040 But if you're just being fair and saying, okay, you know,

00:22:43.300 but he's not expressing his points of view,

00:22:45.580 he's adopting the president's point of view and doing a job.

00:22:49.700 Well, how's he doing?

00:22:51.680 If he asked me that question, the answer is pretty solid, pretty solid.

00:22:57.160 I would say that Pence looks strong, actually.

00:23:01.240 I think Trump, Trump is just being Trump for all the good ways and all the bad ways.

00:23:11.680 You know, everybody's tolerance for the personality parts of Trump that really make him special, frankly,

00:23:18.800 and make him interesting and all that, make him funny.

00:23:22.840 I think just everybody has a little less tolerance for that in this situation.

00:23:28.440 But he's, but, but we also like the fact that he's always him, right?

00:23:33.600 So it's sort of a mixed bag.

00:23:35.000 It's like, you know what you're getting.

00:23:36.600 So, you know, you get some of that.

00:23:38.140 But if you think past that, if you can think past the fact, oh, my goodness,

00:23:45.460 is this the first time CNN ever fact-checked him and decided he said something that wasn't true?

00:23:51.720 So if you get past the little stuff, has he made the right decisions?

00:23:56.700 I think history is going to be pretty kind to him.

00:23:59.580 And I, you know, I think nobody knew when is soon enough or what to do,

00:24:04.980 but the polls are clearly moving in his favor.

00:24:09.020 So his support is clearly growing in general and also in regards to handling of the crisis.

00:24:16.400 So whatever he's doing is clearly working politically, you could say that.

00:24:21.260 And I, you know, I said from the start,

00:24:25.420 I'm going to be super forgiving of mistakes that get made and have been made

00:24:31.040 in how to deal with this thing.

00:24:33.300 Because anybody who says they know how to do it is the least credible person in the room.

00:24:38.900 Nobody knows.

00:24:40.240 So if they're acting, you know, boldly, you know, trying to reassure the public,

00:24:46.240 they can rapidly correct.

00:24:48.020 They're not doing anything that's a dead end and would kill you if it's the wrong decision.

00:24:52.400 If they're getting the basics right in terms of let's talk to everybody,

00:24:57.520 make a decision, try it, do it fast.

00:25:00.860 If it doesn't work, you know, measure what happened, correct it, fix it, adjust.

00:25:06.080 If they're doing stuff like that, I'm completely forgiving for any mistakes.

00:25:09.780 Because this isn't a, you know, take a good aim and shoot a bullseye kind of a situation.

00:25:16.760 This is very much of a, this is a cage fight.

00:25:21.600 And it doesn't matter if you have a strategy.

00:25:24.160 If the opponent doesn't know what your strategy is,

00:25:29.380 you know, you're going to have to improvise when things get interesting.

00:25:34.420 All right, so focus advice, how to build a new skill.

00:25:41.460 Well, I would say with micro steps.

00:25:43.700 So if there's a skill that you think fits well with your talent stack,

00:25:47.080 do whatever is the smallest thing you're willing to do today.

00:25:51.140 It might be Google something, talk to somebody, write a note to yourself.

00:25:56.840 What's the smallest thing you're willing to do toward that skill that would fit well

00:26:02.020 with your talent stack, then do it.

00:26:03.540 And then the next day do the, do whatever's the next small thing.

00:26:06.940 If at some point it doesn't start pulling you along,

00:26:11.320 then maybe, maybe it's not for you.

00:26:14.720 But you can prime the pump pretty easily.

00:26:19.880 All right.

00:26:21.060 Dermot.

00:26:22.900 Dang it.

00:26:24.480 Let me look for some more comments here.

00:26:27.760 All right.

00:26:30.260 Question.

00:26:33.540 What are credible examples of lockdowns working?

00:26:41.840 Why are so many countries using this blunt tool instead of more precise strategic ways?

00:26:47.500 Blah, blah, blah.

00:26:49.120 Well, it's a good question.

00:26:50.320 And I'm very suspicious of anybody who can look at the other countries' experiences

00:26:57.380 and be sure they know why something worked.

00:27:01.040 Because if you take South Korea, you know, is it because of the testing or is it because of the masks?

00:27:08.220 Is it because they're, as a society, they were more, you know, willing to do what their leaders wanted?

00:27:14.080 Did they just comply better?

00:27:16.340 Did they use a different meds than we did?

00:27:19.540 Did they use them quicker?

00:27:21.020 Was there something about the nature of the way they live that, you know, none of their nursing homes got, you know,

00:27:28.180 so you can imagine a hundred variables.

00:27:32.580 But the one that feels like the one that would be most impactful,

00:27:37.460 so this is the dumb non-scientist, non-doctor.

00:27:43.740 But if you were to say to me, you know, make a list of all the things, you know,

00:27:48.020 which are the things that mattered the most,

00:27:50.400 was it the amount of testing that South Korea did

00:27:53.920 or the fact that they seemed to massively wear masks?

00:27:56.860 I feel like, you know, just my gut feel, I feel like it was the masks, not the testing.

00:28:07.060 But the official story is it's the testing.

00:28:09.320 So if you want to take the word of the people who actually know what they're talking about

00:28:12.580 and looked into it and, you know, all the experts and the people who are smart,

00:28:17.320 they say the testing was the big thing.

00:28:20.720 But how many people did they test?

00:28:23.180 You know, I can't make the numbers work in my head where I don't even remember what the numbers were,

00:28:28.940 but if you look at the whole population of South Korea

00:28:31.340 and then how many tests they did,

00:28:35.220 like I can't square it that it was the tests that fixed everything.

00:28:39.640 But if it was also true that pretty much everybody had access to a mask

00:28:44.600 and immediately complied and wore them,

00:28:48.560 you know, just culturally, it was just, you know, easier and faster.

00:28:51.420 And wouldn't that get you to a pretty good place pretty quickly?

00:28:56.580 I feel like that would be 80% of it, not 20%.

00:29:00.700 But that's just a gut feeling.

00:29:02.980 Maybe we'll get some visibility on that later.

00:29:07.500 Let's see.

00:29:11.320 Good question.

00:29:14.580 Well, one of the good things to come out of this world-changing event

00:29:18.760 be the young people learning how to make their own coffee.

00:29:21.700 I assume that that's a reference to Starbucks being closed.

00:29:26.500 In 1918 and 19, that pandemic, the Spanish flu,

00:29:36.960 675,000 Americans died.

00:29:40.520 But soon after, we entered the Roaring Twenties.

00:29:43.980 So just a few years after we were in boom times,

00:29:46.980 can something like that happen again?

00:29:48.360 And the answer is, yeah, yeah.

00:29:53.320 I mean, I don't think the likelihood is that it's just going to, you know,

00:29:57.340 zoom up to the moon.

00:29:58.840 I don't think that's the top likelihood.

00:30:01.560 I think that if I had to handicap it,

00:30:04.260 the most likely thing is that it will be on the better side of predictions.

00:30:11.900 Meaning I think it's going to be better than the average prediction.

00:30:14.640 It'll be stronger, faster than the average person would predict.

00:30:19.840 But, you know, I don't think it's necessarily going to go right to boom towns

00:30:24.720 and boom times in 12 months.

00:30:27.880 We got a lot of territory to catch up.

00:30:30.860 But, yeah, I don't see any reason that we wouldn't come back very strong.

00:30:34.820 It's just the rate of strength.

00:30:39.460 When things return to normal,

00:30:41.040 will Americans be more appreciative of everyday life?

00:30:44.660 Yes.

00:30:46.120 For a little while.

00:30:49.660 So the nature of people is that when you can finally go outside

00:30:54.020 and do whatever you want,

00:30:55.780 assuming it happens in some sudden way instead of a very gradual way,

00:31:02.540 yeah, we'd all feel appreciative.

00:31:04.620 And, man, will we appreciate it.

00:31:06.360 It might even last a year or two.

00:31:08.800 But eventually it's going to wear off.

00:31:10.780 So, yes, we would be more appreciative,

00:31:14.080 but it's absolutely not a lasting effect, is my experience.

00:31:21.460 Let's see what other questions we got here.

00:31:23.540 Are all the governors banning the Trump pills Democrats?

00:31:41.320 Not that I know of, but I haven't looked at that.

00:31:47.000 Mary Jane says, what makes sense?

00:31:49.860 This is her question.

00:31:51.640 What makes sense?

00:31:53.280 What doesn't make sense?

00:31:54.580 This is a profound question, Mary Jane.

00:31:59.600 And so I'll answer it for you.

00:32:02.960 What is the only thing that you could know for sure?

00:32:07.400 I'll give you a moment.

00:32:09.560 What is the only thing in this whole reality,

00:32:13.060 in this world, in your life,

00:32:14.300 what's the only thing you can know for sure?

00:32:17.180 Well, if you've taken Philosophy 101,

00:32:21.500 you know the answer to it.

00:32:22.900 The only thing you can know for sure

00:32:24.880 is that you exist

00:32:27.060 because you're asking the question.

00:32:29.600 You couldn't be asking the question

00:32:31.140 if you didn't exist.

00:32:32.640 But beyond that,

00:32:34.440 you actually don't know.

00:32:36.600 So,

00:32:37.900 the answer to your question,

00:32:38.780 what makes sense,

00:32:40.260 is that you exist.

00:32:42.660 And nothing else does.

00:32:44.020 Nothing else does.

00:32:47.540 Everything else is a rationalization.

00:32:50.500 All right.

00:32:54.480 Let me look at your comments

00:32:57.040 and I will see if you've got

00:32:58.700 any good questions in here.

00:33:00.720 You know,

00:33:01.160 a big part of why I do this

00:33:03.500 is just to,

00:33:04.300 you know,

00:33:05.220 bond with all of you

00:33:07.100 and make us all feel better

00:33:08.760 about the news

00:33:10.380 and make us feel a little less lonely.

00:33:12.520 And

00:33:14.220 I hope

00:33:16.020 that listening to me

00:33:17.120 Oh,

00:33:20.680 so somebody says

00:33:21.600 a nurse at Kaiser

00:33:22.680 says it's the people

00:33:23.760 on ibuprofen

00:33:24.880 who are getting pneumonia.

00:33:26.380 I don't think that's

00:33:27.580 I don't think that's certain enough

00:33:30.520 that we should put that out there.

00:33:32.500 But

00:33:33.020 the part that is certain

00:33:34.700 is

00:33:35.260 I do think there's a recommendation

00:33:37.140 not to take ibuprofen.

00:33:39.260 But I don't know

00:33:40.220 the specifics of it.

00:33:41.360 But that's really interesting.

00:33:44.280 Think of all the people

00:33:45.280 who take ibuprofen

00:33:46.460 on a pretty regular basis.

00:33:48.900 If

00:33:49.160 if

00:33:49.860 you know,

00:33:50.760 just hypothetically

00:33:51.580 I don't think we're going to find out

00:33:52.940 this is the case

00:33:53.660 but I'll just

00:33:54.180 put it out there

00:33:55.440 as a hypothetical.

00:33:56.560 If the only thing

00:33:57.720 that made

00:33:58.160 the coronavirus

00:33:59.280 you know,

00:34:00.800 COVID-19

00:34:01.440 if the only thing

00:34:02.260 that made it extra dangerous

00:34:03.460 is that it was bad

00:34:05.420 for people

00:34:05.940 who are also taking ibuprofen

00:34:07.840 it would be

00:34:09.460 the most dangerous

00:34:10.400 you know,

00:34:11.480 virus we ever saw

00:34:12.480 wouldn't it?

00:34:13.360 Because there's so many people

00:34:14.580 who take ibuprofen

00:34:15.660 that a virus

00:34:17.640 has a very good chance

00:34:18.940 of hitting one of them.

00:34:20.260 So

00:34:20.600 we know it's a bad idea

00:34:21.800 to be on the ibuprofen.

00:34:23.760 I guess Tylenol

00:34:24.720 is the safer one

00:34:25.640 according to the doctor

00:34:26.920 I just watched.

00:34:28.100 Please don't get

00:34:28.840 your medical

00:34:29.400 advice from

00:34:30.700 from me.

00:34:31.380 I'm simply

00:34:32.960 reporting things

00:34:34.100 I heard

00:34:34.640 with no credibility

00:34:35.840 whatsoever.

00:34:37.000 So take no

00:34:37.620 medical advice

00:34:38.520 from me

00:34:40.020 but it's a

00:34:40.540 it's a weird situation

00:34:41.640 because in the emergency

00:34:42.700 we're all

00:34:44.500 kind of deputized

00:34:45.600 to share information.

00:34:47.420 So I

00:34:47.740 I feel

00:34:48.260 I feel

00:34:49.460 a little bit

00:34:50.660 exposed

00:34:51.080 sharing information

00:34:53.040 on a topic

00:34:54.040 that I shouldn't

00:34:54.840 be talking about

00:34:55.520 at all

00:34:55.760 which is

00:34:56.500 health care.

00:34:59.940 All right.

00:35:01.380 where are the

00:35:04.740 big trucks

00:35:05.260 spraying disinfectant

00:35:06.500 like China?

00:35:07.820 Yeah.

00:35:08.400 I still think

00:35:09.540 that that was

00:35:10.060 just for show.

00:35:11.520 I think China

00:35:12.320 was

00:35:12.740 just showing

00:35:15.080 that they had

00:35:15.620 control and assets

00:35:16.920 and they were

00:35:17.500 really all over

00:35:18.120 this thing.

00:35:20.260 Will Dilbert

00:35:20.760 worry over

00:35:21.560 COVID-19?

00:35:22.680 Well

00:35:22.960 the

00:35:23.500 Dilbert comics

00:35:24.640 that I'm drawing

00:35:25.260 this week

00:35:26.780 do feature

00:35:29.660 Dilbert

00:35:30.400 with face masks

00:35:32.200 and social

00:35:33.400 distancing

00:35:33.900 and he's

00:35:34.560 working from

00:35:35.100 home at least

00:35:35.800 part of it.

00:35:37.260 Now I had to

00:35:37.780 anticipate

00:35:38.400 when is he ever

00:35:39.440 going to go back

00:35:39.960 to work

00:35:40.420 and I don't know

00:35:42.140 if I'm assuming

00:35:43.040 there'll be some

00:35:43.560 phased approach

00:35:44.280 so at least

00:35:44.760 some people

00:35:45.240 will be back

00:35:45.820 to work

00:35:46.220 so I'm

00:35:47.640 going to have

00:35:47.860 to decide

00:35:48.960 probably in

00:35:56.540 the landscaping

00:35:57.640 what

00:35:58.000 I was told

00:36:01.060 my doc

00:36:01.660 that for

00:36:02.240 respiratory

00:36:02.820 problems

00:36:03.420 this is

00:36:04.140 always true

00:36:05.020 it's not

00:36:06.180 a COVID

00:36:06.600 thing

00:36:06.940 I think

00:36:07.900 you're referring

00:36:08.380 to the

00:36:08.920 ibuprofen

00:36:09.680 so somebody

00:36:10.640 who is also

00:36:11.240 not a doctor

00:36:11.980 suggests

00:36:13.680 that

00:36:14.160 it's bad

00:36:16.560 no matter

00:36:16.880 what kind

00:36:17.300 of flu

00:36:17.940 virus

00:36:18.320 you got

00:36:18.740 oh

00:36:24.960 you're very

00:36:26.240 appreciative

00:36:26.720 of me

00:36:27.060 I appreciate

00:36:27.940 that

00:36:28.380 so did

00:36:29.840 you see

00:36:31.160 that there's

00:36:32.140 a lot

00:36:33.660 of attacks

00:36:34.280 against

00:36:34.840 Dr.

00:36:35.820 Fauci

00:36:36.360 now

00:36:36.880 predictably

00:36:40.380 right

00:36:40.720 so

00:36:41.420 apparently

00:36:44.060 Dr.

00:36:44.540 Fauci

00:36:44.960 allegedly

00:36:45.940 has some

00:36:47.460 financial

00:36:47.920 ties to

00:36:48.580 Gilead

00:36:49.200 which is

00:36:50.100 one of the

00:36:50.500 big companies

00:36:51.020 that would

00:36:51.300 benefit

00:36:51.640 if the

00:36:53.120 drug

00:36:53.580 Remdesivir

00:36:55.160 whatever

00:36:55.520 it is

00:36:55.900 but if

00:36:57.380 their drug

00:36:57.800 becomes

00:36:58.220 the

00:36:58.500 favored

00:36:58.960 one

00:36:59.360 that would

00:37:00.380 be

00:37:00.760 a gigantic

00:37:01.940 financial

00:37:02.600 windfall

00:37:03.140 for a

00:37:04.420 company

00:37:04.780 that he's

00:37:05.600 worked

00:37:05.880 with

00:37:06.260 he has

00:37:07.400 some

00:37:07.540 kind of

00:37:07.820 financial

00:37:08.180 ties

00:37:08.520 with

00:37:08.680 I guess

00:37:08.980 so we'll

00:37:10.340 see how

00:37:10.660 that plays

00:37:11.080 out

00:37:11.300 see if

00:37:11.740 anybody

00:37:12.040 cares

00:37:12.460 how

00:37:17.200 important

00:37:17.540 is it

00:37:17.840 to have

00:37:18.140 cash

00:37:18.500 on hand

00:37:19.020 I think

00:37:19.760 not

00:37:20.020 important

00:37:20.500 actually

00:37:21.020 the

00:37:22.360 things

00:37:22.680 that I

00:37:23.000 thought

00:37:23.320 would

00:37:24.600 not be

00:37:25.480 in

00:37:25.680 shortage

00:37:26.020 was

00:37:27.020 food

00:37:27.860 in

00:37:28.060 general

00:37:28.480 albeit

00:37:29.100 maybe

00:37:29.480 not

00:37:29.780 your

00:37:29.980 specific

00:37:30.520 thing

00:37:31.200 but it

00:37:32.120 was

00:37:32.240 obvious

00:37:32.560 that you

00:37:32.900 couldn't

00:37:33.260 hoard

00:37:33.700 vegetables

00:37:34.500 and

00:37:35.140 fruit

00:37:35.500 so

00:37:37.160 there's

00:37:37.480 sort of

00:37:37.840 a limit

00:37:38.240 to how

00:37:38.480 much

00:37:38.640 you can

00:37:38.920 hoard

00:37:39.300 of

00:37:40.100 things

00:37:40.420 that

00:37:40.600 go

00:37:40.780 bad

00:37:41.200 quickly

00:37:41.740 so I

00:37:42.840 always

00:37:43.060 assumed

00:37:43.400 food

00:37:43.720 would

00:37:44.200 never

00:37:44.380 be

00:37:44.580 a

00:37:44.740 problem

00:37:44.980 I

00:37:45.200 always

00:37:45.420 assumed

00:37:45.820 electricity

00:37:46.460 water

00:37:47.080 you know

00:37:48.040 that the

00:37:48.540 basics

00:37:48.860 would all

00:37:49.360 be fine

00:37:49.940 so

00:37:51.260 and I

00:37:51.740 I remain

00:37:53.180 100%

00:37:54.420 confident

00:37:54.880 that the

00:37:56.260 basics

00:37:56.760 are all

00:37:57.920 going to

00:37:58.060 be fine

00:37:58.540 you know

00:38:09.480 we saw

00:38:09.960 that

00:38:10.320 report

00:38:11.340 that

00:38:11.880 people

00:38:13.200 who

00:38:13.520 weighed

00:38:13.780 more

00:38:14.140 were

00:38:14.440 having

00:38:14.940 more

00:38:15.200 deaths

00:38:15.580 and I

00:38:16.460 was

00:38:16.560 waiting

00:38:16.840 to hear

00:38:17.140 the

00:38:17.400 doctor

00:38:17.800 I was

00:38:18.060 listening

00:38:18.360 to

00:38:18.600 confirm

00:38:19.040 that

00:38:19.420 and he

00:38:20.340 did

00:38:20.520 not

00:38:20.900 was

00:38:29.620 Elon Musk

00:38:30.560 downplaying

00:38:31.400 the

00:38:31.700 virus

00:38:32.160 wrong

00:38:32.700 here's

00:38:33.900 I'm

00:38:35.300 going to

00:38:35.500 say

00:38:35.660 this

00:38:35.840 so

00:38:36.060 many

00:38:36.260 times

00:38:36.840 nobody

00:38:38.100 was

00:38:38.500 wrong

00:38:38.880 people

00:38:40.140 had

00:38:40.380 different

00:38:40.720 opinions

00:38:41.180 but

00:38:42.160 nobody

00:38:42.620 could

00:38:43.100 know

00:38:43.540 in other

00:38:44.020 words

00:38:44.260 the

00:38:44.760 body

00:38:46.200 of

00:38:46.440 information

00:38:46.980 that it

00:38:47.480 would

00:38:47.620 take

00:38:48.060 for you

00:38:49.180 to

00:38:49.300 actually

00:38:49.580 have

00:38:49.800 an

00:38:49.940 informed

00:38:50.400 opinion

00:38:50.860 just

00:38:51.160 didn't

00:38:51.400 exist

00:38:51.860 so

00:38:52.660 in

00:38:52.840 that

00:38:53.020 case

00:38:53.740 you're

00:38:54.020 going to

00:38:54.100 have

00:38:54.240 people

00:38:54.540 who

00:38:54.880 lean

00:38:55.220 one

00:38:55.440 way

00:38:55.720 lean

00:38:56.000 the

00:38:56.140 others

00:38:56.420 and

00:38:56.700 when

00:38:57.120 you're

00:38:57.280 done

00:38:57.480 you're

00:38:57.760 going to

00:38:57.840 say

00:38:57.960 well

00:38:58.140 one

00:38:58.360 of

00:38:58.460 them

00:38:58.640 was

00:38:58.920 leaning

00:39:00.020 the

00:39:00.240 right

00:39:00.420 way

00:39:00.720 after

00:39:02.700 one

00:39:03.500 was

00:39:03.720 not

00:39:04.080 but

00:39:05.120 you

00:39:05.860 know

00:39:05.980 nobody

00:39:06.300 could

00:39:06.500 be

00:39:06.640 right

00:39:07.080 it's

00:39:08.580 all

00:39:08.720 just

00:39:08.940 guesses

00:39:09.300 at

00:39:09.580 first

00:39:09.940 so

00:39:10.400 I

00:39:10.640 just

00:39:10.820 reject

00:39:11.340 the

00:39:11.620 notion

00:39:13.040 that

00:39:14.560 in the

00:39:14.920 developing

00:39:15.560 month

00:39:16.020 or two

00:39:16.480 there

00:39:17.440 was

00:39:17.620 such

00:39:17.840 a

00:39:18.000 thing

00:39:18.200 as

00:39:18.380 being

00:39:18.600 wrong

00:39:19.020 I

00:39:19.740 think

00:39:19.940 there

00:39:20.100 were

00:39:20.220 just

00:39:20.380 people

00:39:20.660 who

00:39:20.780 had

00:39:20.880 different

00:39:21.160 guesses

00:39:21.520 but

00:39:21.960 it

00:39:22.900 wasn't

00:39:23.220 enough

00:39:23.500 to

00:39:23.660 use

00:39:23.860 your

00:39:24.000 brain

00:39:24.380 and

00:39:24.760 reason

00:39:25.600 it

00:39:25.800 out

00:39:26.140 and

00:39:26.360 look

00:39:26.560 at

00:39:26.660 the

00:39:26.760 facts

00:39:27.200 just

00:39:27.980 wasn't

00:39:28.280 an

00:39:28.440 option

00:39:28.720 how

00:39:31.540 does

00:39:31.760 the

00:39:31.920 simulation

00:39:32.360 fit in

00:39:33.020 well

00:39:34.480 obviously

00:39:35.420 this is

00:39:35.900 a

00:39:36.060 software

00:39:36.440 upgrade

00:39:37.000 so

00:39:37.780 this

00:39:37.980 software

00:39:38.360 upgrade

00:39:38.780 is

00:39:39.100 changing

00:39:39.920 something

00:39:40.360 about

00:39:40.700 this

00:39:41.260 game

00:39:41.880 we call

00:39:42.400 the

00:39:42.720 simulation

00:39:43.160 and

00:39:44.860 it's

00:39:45.820 removing

00:39:46.300 a lot

00:39:47.900 of

00:39:48.000 people

00:39:48.240 from

00:39:48.460 the

00:39:48.600 game

00:39:48.820 apparently

00:39:49.280 that's

00:39:50.720 the

00:39:50.840 bad

00:39:51.040 part

00:39:51.380 and

00:39:53.780 it's

00:39:53.980 giving

00:39:54.200 us

00:39:54.440 new

00:39:54.640 challenges

00:39:55.100 but

00:39:55.960 it's

00:39:56.120 probably

00:39:56.380 hardening

00:39:56.880 us

00:39:57.140 against

00:39:57.460 future

00:39:57.980 pandemics

00:39:58.620 things

00:39:58.680 think

00:39:59.520 think

00:39:59.540 about

00:39:59.720 the

00:39:59.880 next

00:40:00.080 pandemic

00:40:00.580 because

00:40:02.140 I was

00:40:02.920 trying

00:40:03.120 to

00:40:03.280 count

00:40:03.520 up

00:40:03.680 the

00:40:03.860 number

00:40:04.120 of

00:40:04.300 ways

00:40:04.580 we're

00:40:04.820 going

00:40:04.960 to

00:40:05.080 solve

00:40:05.380 this

00:40:05.640 one

00:40:05.900 think

00:40:07.300 about

00:40:07.520 all

00:40:07.720 the

00:40:07.860 ways

00:40:08.240 that

00:40:08.680 we

00:40:08.920 will

00:40:09.400 solve

00:40:09.800 it

00:40:10.060 and

00:40:10.380 it's

00:40:10.500 just

00:40:10.760 a

00:40:10.900 matter

00:40:11.100 of

00:40:11.240 which

00:40:11.400 one

00:40:11.720 gets

00:40:12.820 there

00:40:13.040 first

00:40:13.460 so

00:40:14.300 for

00:40:14.460 example

00:40:14.760 we have

00:40:15.140 a

00:40:15.280 number

00:40:15.480 of

00:40:15.620 different

00:40:15.820 ways

00:40:16.060 to

00:40:16.260 test

00:40:16.740 and

00:40:17.300 some

00:40:17.500 of

00:40:17.620 them

00:40:17.740 are

00:40:17.880 these

00:40:18.120 cheap

00:40:18.560 tabletop

00:40:19.420 things

00:40:19.680 and

00:40:19.840 stuff

00:40:20.020 so

00:40:21.160 that's

00:40:22.500 a

00:40:22.680 guaranteed

00:40:23.080 way

00:40:23.580 to

00:40:28.620 a

00:40:28.780 while

00:40:29.000 but

00:40:29.900 if

00:40:30.260 we

00:40:30.440 made

00:40:30.660 enough

00:40:31.020 of

00:40:31.140 them

00:40:31.380 that's

00:40:31.940 a

00:40:32.060 guaranteed

00:40:32.400 way

00:40:32.700 to

00:40:32.800 win

00:40:33.000 and

00:40:33.200 we

00:40:33.340 know

00:40:33.520 how

00:40:33.640 to

00:40:33.740 make

00:40:34.000 lots

00:40:34.340 of

00:40:34.440 things

00:40:34.800 so

00:40:35.700 if

00:40:35.900 the

00:40:36.080 test

00:40:36.360 was

00:40:36.540 all

00:40:36.740 right

00:40:36.860 you're

00:40:37.060 going to have to make

00:40:37.460 100 million of these tests

00:40:38.820 because you want them everywhere

00:40:41.120 could we make 100 million of a small electronic unit

00:40:46.260 yeah we could do that

00:40:47.920 I don't know how long that takes but yeah

00:40:50.220 we can get there

00:40:51.220 so that's one way

00:40:52.780 and I'm sure at least one of the drugs they're testing will work

00:40:56.600 I think the serum immunology thing will work

00:41:00.420 I think if we did more DNA testing we'd know who has more risk than other people

00:41:06.120 that would work

00:41:07.320 so we probably have

00:41:08.880 something like

00:41:11.040 five or maybe six different ways

00:41:14.860 that would totally work

00:41:16.780 like a very high likelihood would work

00:41:18.940 but they all take some time to implement for different reasons

00:41:22.600 so it's sort of solved five different ways

00:41:26.240 we just have

00:41:26.800 we just don't know which one will get there first

00:41:29.240 let's see

00:41:34.740 I'm just looking at your

00:41:39.440 will we stock up on masks after this

00:41:43.120 it seems like it

00:41:44.520 you know

00:41:45.160 wouldn't you imagine that

00:41:46.500 you know

00:41:47.720 I've always had an emergency preparation kit

00:41:50.240 so I've always had

00:41:51.900 you know

00:41:52.220 at least

00:41:52.660 at the very least

00:41:53.880 I would have a commercial kit

00:41:55.640 of you know

00:41:56.280 some basic stuff

00:41:58.080 and you know

00:41:59.560 I always have more

00:42:00.620 food and cans

00:42:02.480 and rice and stuff

00:42:04.000 just in case

00:42:04.740 so I'm always sort of

00:42:06.400 you know

00:42:07.440 semi-prepared

00:42:08.760 but look how prepared

00:42:11.660 we're going to be in the future

00:42:12.720 we're going to be really prepared

00:42:14.740 am I still feeling the healthiest

00:42:18.320 I've ever been

00:42:19.060 yeah

00:42:19.360 yeah

00:42:20.560 because I've been

00:42:22.400 just a maniac

00:42:24.020 about my fitness

00:42:26.180 just to stay as strong as possible

00:42:28.520 from my immune system

00:42:30.000 I'm actually

00:42:31.460 you know

00:42:33.140 the healthiest I've ever felt

00:42:34.780 in my whole life

00:42:35.760 literally true

00:42:37.280 you know

00:42:38.100 I'm just bouncing up

00:42:39.180 down the stairs

00:42:39.900 I can run all day

00:42:41.520 you know

00:42:43.260 my muscle definition is good

00:42:44.680 I think I lost nine pounds

00:42:46.120 since the

00:42:46.900 since the

00:42:48.300 the lockdown started

00:42:49.940 for me it's been great

00:42:51.560 now

00:42:53.440 I would like to clear up something

00:42:55.840 this is maybe

00:42:57.940 too personal

00:42:58.700 but I thought I'd tell you anyway

00:43:00.220 I'm in lockdown

00:43:03.220 I'm in quarantine

00:43:04.600 not quarantine

00:43:05.400 because I don't have any symptoms

00:43:06.700 I'm in social isolation

00:43:08.820 actually by myself

00:43:10.000 so there's

00:43:11.600 there's nobody

00:43:12.420 nobody in this house

00:43:14.500 except me

00:43:15.500 so Christina

00:43:17.080 you know

00:43:17.800 has

00:43:18.100 has a house of her own

00:43:19.480 nearby

00:43:19.900 and so

00:43:20.560 she's there with some family members

00:43:22.680 and

00:43:23.860 for

00:43:25.160 for maximum

00:43:26.840 risk

00:43:28.720 management

00:43:29.880 I'm

00:43:31.380 I'm the one who's the

00:43:32.760 got the biggest risk

00:43:34.080 because of age

00:43:35.940 and asthma

00:43:36.500 and stuff

00:43:36.840 and so

00:43:37.580 I'm actually

00:43:38.080 just in

00:43:38.680 isolation

00:43:39.540 basically

00:43:40.100 so if I

00:43:40.800 if I see anybody

00:43:41.620 it's from a

00:43:42.280 good distance away

00:43:43.320 so

00:43:45.800 needless to say

00:43:49.660 being away from

00:43:50.820 your fiance

00:43:51.740 is very difficult

00:43:53.620 but it's not

00:43:56.140 impossible

00:43:56.760 and in the

00:43:58.100 you know

00:43:59.240 on the

00:43:59.600 on the scale

00:44:00.360 of things

00:44:00.940 that people

00:44:01.660 are sacrificing

00:44:02.500 to you know

00:44:04.400 for the greater good

00:44:05.400 it's pretty small

00:44:06.520 you know

00:44:07.720 I mean

00:44:08.520 it's bad for me

00:44:09.960 it's very bad

00:44:11.760 for me

00:44:12.280 but

00:44:14.880 on the

00:44:15.340 larger

00:44:15.960 scheme

00:44:16.400 of things

00:44:16.840 it doesn't

00:44:18.160 compare to what

00:44:18.960 you know

00:44:19.320 every doctor

00:44:19.940 is doing

00:44:20.320 every day

00:44:20.800 what do I think

00:44:24.340 about the Kennedy

00:44:24.960 Center layoffs

00:44:25.920 it's just all

00:44:26.960 fake news

00:44:27.820 stuff

00:44:28.420 that political

00:44:29.340 stuff

00:44:29.700 care about

00:44:30.220 you know

00:44:30.980 so the

00:44:31.420 Kennedy Center

00:44:32.420 gets 25 million

00:44:33.560 dollars

00:44:33.920 and then it

00:44:34.540 lays off

00:44:35.000 some people

00:44:35.560 and wasn't

00:44:36.800 the whole idea

00:44:37.540 not to lay

00:44:38.220 off people

00:44:38.720 here's the thing

00:44:40.000 if you don't

00:44:40.460 know the whole

00:44:41.040 story

00:44:41.460 you just don't

00:44:43.220 really know

00:44:43.600 anything

00:44:43.960 and the whole

00:44:44.940 story is

00:44:45.680 how many people

00:44:47.480 did they keep

00:44:48.180 what is the

00:44:49.740 you know

00:44:50.080 are they going

00:44:50.480 to give them

00:44:50.900 some severance

00:44:51.660 it could be

00:44:52.920 that they laid

00:44:54.080 them off

00:44:54.380 with severance

00:44:54.980 and they plan

00:44:55.440 to bring them

00:44:55.860 back

00:44:56.160 you know

00:44:56.500 so you'd

00:44:57.520 have to know

00:44:57.960 a lot more

00:44:58.560 about what

00:44:59.720 their budget

00:45:00.200 is

00:45:00.560 and what

00:45:00.880 they got

00:45:01.360 and when

00:45:01.740 they got

00:45:02.180 it

00:45:02.340 and what

00:45:02.580 their plans

00:45:03.040 are

00:45:03.280 I just

00:45:03.640 don't want

00:45:03.960 to even

00:45:04.400 have an

00:45:04.840 opinion

00:45:05.680 on that

00:45:06.280 when is the

00:45:09.340 date

00:45:09.660 for the

00:45:10.300 wedding

00:45:10.560 well I'll

00:45:11.860 tell you

00:45:12.160 when it

00:45:12.420 was

00:45:12.940 I won't

00:45:15.700 be specific

00:45:16.400 but it

00:45:17.720 was going

00:45:18.320 to be

00:45:18.740 in the

00:45:19.120 period

00:45:19.600 that is

00:45:20.440 now

00:45:20.880 social

00:45:23.160 isolation

00:45:23.720 period

00:45:24.180 so without

00:45:25.180 being more

00:45:25.680 specific

00:45:26.140 that plan

00:45:27.240 is on

00:45:28.980 hold

00:45:29.600 until we

00:45:30.080 know

00:45:30.260 when people

00:45:30.760 can be

00:45:31.320 in the

00:45:31.520 same

00:45:31.700 room

00:45:31.960 which

00:45:35.580 country

00:45:36.060 openly

00:45:36.600 turns

00:45:37.060 on

00:45:37.300 China

00:45:37.640 first

00:45:38.080 I don't

00:45:39.100 know

00:45:39.260 if

00:45:39.400 anybody

00:45:39.680 will

00:45:40.120 I

00:45:40.880 think

00:45:41.260 the deal

00:45:41.660 with

00:45:41.840 China

00:45:42.120 is

00:45:42.320 you

00:45:42.420 have

00:45:42.580 to

00:45:42.700 act

00:45:42.880 like

00:45:43.080 their

00:45:43.260 friend

00:45:43.600 while

00:45:43.860 you're

00:45:44.560 slowly

00:45:45.520 backing

00:45:46.820 out

00:45:47.080 the

00:45:47.240 door

00:45:47.520 I don't

00:45:48.640 think

00:45:48.840 you want

00:45:49.060 to make

00:45:49.300 them

00:45:49.420 mad

00:45:49.840 that

00:45:50.140 seems

00:45:50.340 like

00:45:50.500 a

00:45:50.620 bad

00:45:50.820 idea

00:45:51.160 somebody

00:45:53.420 says

00:45:53.700 do you

00:45:53.960 have

00:45:54.160 a

00:45:54.300 weapon

00:45:54.660 and

00:45:55.860 which

00:45:56.080 one

00:45:56.420 I

00:45:57.400 always

00:45:57.940 answer

00:45:58.700 the

00:45:58.900 same

00:45:59.100 way

00:45:59.340 I'm

00:45:59.780 I'm

00:46:00.480 pro

00:46:00.740 second

00:46:01.140 amendment

00:46:01.600 but

00:46:03.640 anybody

00:46:03.980 who

00:46:04.260 has

00:46:04.600 anybody

00:46:06.520 who

00:46:06.720 has

00:46:06.860 a

00:46:06.980 weapon

00:46:07.260 in

00:46:07.480 their

00:46:07.620 house

00:46:07.960 why

00:46:08.800 would

00:46:09.040 you

00:46:09.160 tell

00:46:09.400 somebody

00:46:09.820 else

00:46:10.200 how

00:46:10.940 many

00:46:11.240 you

00:46:11.440 have

00:46:11.720 and

00:46:11.840 what

00:46:11.980 kind

00:46:12.240 they

00:46:12.420 are

00:46:12.720 would

00:46:13.360 that

00:46:13.540 be

00:46:13.720 would

00:46:13.980 that

00:46:14.160 defeat

00:46:14.500 the

00:46:14.720 purpose

00:46:15.140 what

00:46:16.060 would

00:46:16.240 be

00:46:16.400 the

00:46:16.580 point

00:46:16.840 of

00:46:17.000 having

00:46:17.320 weapon

00:46:18.540 or

00:46:18.840 weapons

00:46:19.560 be

00:46:20.760 they

00:46:21.160 handguns

00:46:22.080 or

00:46:22.220 be

00:46:22.420 they

00:46:22.700 larger

00:46:23.220 what

00:46:23.940 would

00:46:24.140 be

00:46:24.320 the

00:46:24.480 point

00:46:24.700 of

00:46:24.840 having

00:46:25.200 said

00:46:25.980 hypothetical

00:46:26.540 weapons

00:46:27.080 if

00:46:27.420 you were

00:46:27.600 just

00:46:27.740 going to

00:46:27.980 tell people

00:46:28.400 what

00:46:28.580 you

00:46:28.700 had

00:46:29.020 that

00:46:29.980 would

00:46:30.100 be

00:46:30.200 the

00:46:30.380 worst

00:46:31.120 idea

00:46:31.500 ever

00:46:31.840 who

00:46:33.420 taught

00:46:33.720 you

00:46:33.900 home

00:46:34.120 defense

00:46:34.620 so

00:46:36.660 let's

00:46:36.960 just

00:46:37.120 say

00:46:37.280 that's

00:46:37.520 the

00:46:37.660 question

00:46:38.080 that

00:46:38.760 shall

00:46:39.000 not

00:46:39.200 be

00:46:39.380 answered

00:46:39.760 get

00:46:44.260 married

00:46:44.580 on

00:46:44.820 Easter

00:46:45.180 yeah

00:46:47.120 I

00:46:47.460 don't

00:46:47.600 think

00:46:47.780 so

00:46:48.080 so

00:46:50.300 far

00:46:50.640 somebody

00:46:51.020 says

00:46:51.360 none

00:46:51.600 of

00:46:51.740 their

00:46:51.880 friends

00:46:52.260 have

00:46:52.460 died

00:46:52.880 I

00:46:53.900 would

00:46:54.120 say

00:46:54.980 I

00:46:55.700 well

00:46:56.420 I've

00:46:56.800 certainly

00:46:57.160 heard

00:46:57.480 direct

00:46:57.940 reports

00:46:58.440 from

00:46:58.680 people

00:46:59.020 on

00:46:59.340 Twitter

00:46:59.640 saying

00:47:00.280 somebody

00:47:01.620 said

00:47:01.880 they

00:47:02.040 lost

00:47:03.000 both

00:47:03.320 parents

00:47:03.880 my

00:47:04.600 god

00:47:04.980 why

00:47:13.380 does

00:47:13.580 California

00:47:14.100 have

00:47:14.380 a

00:47:14.480 large

00:47:14.800 testing

00:47:15.380 backlog

00:47:15.880 well

00:47:16.240 I

00:47:16.380 don't

00:47:16.580 know

00:47:16.980 but

00:47:18.120 obviously

00:47:18.740 that

00:47:19.240 that

00:47:20.500 suggests

00:47:20.960 there's

00:47:21.240 some

00:47:21.440 kind

00:47:21.680 of

00:47:21.840 centralized

00:47:22.360 bottleneck

00:47:23.400 so

00:47:24.460 I

00:47:24.760 would

00:47:24.900 say

00:47:25.060 it's

00:47:25.200 the

00:47:25.380 wrong

00:47:25.600 technology

00:47:26.360 or

00:47:27.300 the

00:47:27.460 wrong

00:47:27.720 system

00:47:28.200 or

00:47:28.460 both

00:47:28.860 when

00:47:31.440 will

00:47:31.640 we

00:47:31.780 see

00:47:31.940 the

00:47:32.120 study

00:47:32.440 results

00:47:32.940 of

00:47:33.220 the

00:47:33.380 Trump

00:47:33.680 pills

00:47:34.020 well

00:47:34.360 we're

00:47:34.700 speculating

00:47:35.240 that

00:47:35.620 we

00:47:36.180 would

00:47:36.360 already

00:47:36.760 have

00:47:37.040 some

00:47:37.240 early

00:47:37.560 indications

00:47:38.120 but

00:47:38.480 maybe

00:47:38.820 the

00:47:40.320 smart

00:47:40.620 people

00:47:40.920 don't

00:47:41.200 want

00:47:41.380 us

00:47:41.540 to

00:47:41.700 know

00:47:41.960 so

00:47:43.040 it's

00:47:43.400 entirely

00:47:43.760 possible

00:47:44.320 that

00:47:45.840 the

00:47:46.440 scientists

00:47:46.920 and the

00:47:47.300 doctors

00:47:47.620 already

00:47:48.160 have

00:47:48.420 a

00:47:48.540 pretty

00:47:48.740 good

00:47:48.940 idea

00:47:49.360 short

00:47:50.380 of

00:47:50.640 you

00:47:51.440 know

00:47:51.620 short

00:47:51.960 of

00:47:52.180 rigor

00:47:53.080 but

00:47:54.480 I

00:47:54.580 don't

00:47:54.700 think

00:47:54.880 they're

00:47:55.060 going

00:47:55.140 to

00:47:55.240 tell

00:47:55.420 us

00:47:55.600 it

00:47:55.720 looks

00:47:55.880 like

00:47:56.140 how

00:48:00.420 many

00:48:03.560 weeks

00:48:03.940 until

00:48:04.260 crime

00:48:04.780 picks

00:48:05.160 up

00:48:05.480 you

00:48:06.520 know

00:48:06.680 I

00:48:06.800 don't

00:48:06.900 know

00:48:07.200 it's

00:48:07.840 a

00:48:07.920 good

00:48:08.040 question

00:48:08.440 we

00:48:09.680 haven't

00:48:09.940 seen

00:48:10.120 any

00:48:10.320 crime

00:48:10.640 statistics

00:48:11.240 but

00:48:11.860 don't

00:48:12.140 you

00:48:12.340 assume

00:48:12.880 that

00:48:13.780 the

00:48:13.940 number

00:48:14.240 of

00:48:14.540 let's

00:48:14.780 say

00:48:14.920 drunk

00:48:15.320 driving

00:48:15.760 deaths

00:48:16.180 and

00:48:16.560 traffic

00:48:17.220 deaths

00:48:17.660 and

00:48:18.000 murders

00:48:20.060 don't

00:48:21.040 you

00:48:21.180 think

00:48:21.360 almost

00:48:21.660 every

00:48:22.080 crime

00:48:23.000 statistic

00:48:23.620 went

00:48:24.740 way

00:48:24.960 down

00:48:25.320 now

00:48:26.000 there

00:48:26.140 must

00:48:26.300 be

00:48:26.480 some

00:48:26.920 you

00:48:27.340 know

00:48:27.460 anything

00:48:27.760 that

00:48:27.960 happens

00:48:28.220 indoors

00:48:28.800 in your

00:48:29.180 own

00:48:29.340 house

00:48:29.700 domestic

00:48:30.360 violence

00:48:31.400 I would

00:48:31.720 think

00:48:31.980 probably

00:48:32.320 did

00:48:32.520 go up

00:48:33.000 just

00:48:33.540 because

00:48:33.740 of the

00:48:33.940 pressure

00:48:34.240 but

00:48:35.500 I'll

00:48:35.640 bet

00:48:35.780 there's

00:48:35.980 a whole

00:48:36.260 bunch

00:48:36.640 of

00:48:36.760 categories

00:48:37.240 that

00:48:37.420 went

00:48:37.580 down

00:48:38.020 will

00:48:41.480 will

00:48:41.500 Bernie

00:48:41.800 come

00:48:42.040 back

00:48:42.240 to

00:48:42.420 beat

00:48:42.620 Joe

00:48:42.920 you

00:48:43.600 know

00:48:43.820 I

00:48:44.260 think

00:48:44.460 if

00:48:44.620 the

00:48:44.780 Democrats

00:48:45.280 were

00:48:45.760 even

00:48:46.140 a

00:48:46.380 little

00:48:46.600 bit

00:48:46.860 willing

00:48:47.260 to

00:48:48.460 accept

00:48:48.820 Bernie

00:48:49.160 as

00:48:49.420 their

00:48:49.680 candidate

00:48:50.760 I

00:48:51.480 think

00:48:51.760 it

00:48:51.880 would

00:48:52.020 have

00:48:52.160 happened

00:48:52.560 you

00:48:56.860 mentioned

00:48:57.200 the

00:48:57.400 government

00:48:57.680 is

00:48:57.900 lying

00:48:58.340 any

00:48:58.720 ideas

00:48:59.220 about

00:48:59.540 the

00:48:59.740 specifics

00:49:00.280 yeah

00:49:00.880 anything

00:49:01.360 that

00:49:01.840 came

00:49:02.880 from

00:49:03.160 our

00:49:03.460 government

00:49:03.920 that

00:49:04.420 agreed

00:49:04.860 with

00:49:05.260 the

00:49:05.440 World

00:49:05.660 Health

00:49:05.960 Organization

00:49:06.600 that

00:49:07.620 masks

00:49:08.280 wouldn't

00:49:09.160 have

00:49:09.720 any

00:49:09.940 benefit

00:49:10.380 that

00:49:11.560 was

00:49:11.760 really

00:49:12.060 clearly

00:49:12.560 a

00:49:12.800 lie

00:49:13.100 and

00:49:14.240 I

00:49:14.420 think

00:49:14.600 it

00:49:14.700 just

00:49:14.860 had

00:49:15.020 to

00:49:15.140 do

00:49:15.280 with

00:49:15.460 the

00:49:15.680 shortage

00:49:16.240 of

00:49:16.480 masks

00:49:16.940 I

00:49:20.300 also

00:49:20.720 believe

00:49:21.280 that

00:49:21.660 there's

00:49:22.280 maybe

00:49:22.640 lie

00:49:23.040 by

00:49:23.280 omission

00:49:23.740 about

00:49:24.280 what

00:49:25.180 we

00:49:25.340 do

00:49:25.560 or

00:49:25.720 do

00:49:25.840 not

00:49:26.060 know

00:49:26.300 about

00:49:26.580 the

00:49:26.860 hydroxychloroquine

00:49:28.500 so

00:49:29.800 there's

00:49:30.060 there's

00:49:30.320 something

00:49:30.560 going on

00:49:31.120 there

00:49:31.400 and

00:49:31.940 again

00:49:32.220 that

00:49:32.460 might

00:49:32.640 be

00:49:32.800 just

00:49:33.020 managing

00:49:33.580 managing

00:49:34.840 the

00:49:35.060 hoarding

00:49:35.500 you

00:49:39.460 know

00:49:39.600 I

00:49:39.820 have

00:49:40.020 not

00:49:40.220 driven

00:49:40.540 my

00:49:40.820 car

00:49:41.200 and

00:49:42.540 there's

00:49:42.720 no

00:49:42.920 there's

00:49:43.360 no

00:49:43.520 reason

00:49:43.780 I

00:49:44.040 couldn't

00:49:44.440 I

00:49:44.680 can

00:49:44.880 go

00:49:45.420 for

00:49:45.620 a

00:49:45.720 ride

00:49:46.000 but

00:49:46.860 the

00:49:47.100 streets

00:49:48.100 are

00:49:48.240 all

00:49:48.380 empty

00:49:48.660 let's

00:49:54.220 see

00:49:54.560 my

00:49:54.920 wife

00:49:55.240 works

00:49:58.600 on

00:49:58.760 the

00:49:58.880 health

00:49:59.060 data

00:49:59.420 team

00:49:59.840 working

00:50:00.260 to

00:50:00.500 verify

00:50:00.960 well

00:50:02.040 if

00:50:02.280 your

00:50:02.460 wife

00:50:02.720 works

00:50:03.000 on

00:50:03.200 that

00:50:03.380 team

00:50:03.840 are

00:50:05.060 you

00:50:05.220 telling

00:50:05.480 me

00:50:05.720 she

00:50:05.900 doesn't

00:50:06.280 already

00:50:06.680 know

00:50:07.100 so

00:50:08.340 in

00:50:08.520 the

00:50:08.640 comments

00:50:09.000 somebody

00:50:09.320 said

00:50:09.600 that

00:50:09.980 I

00:50:11.380 guess

00:50:11.600 his

00:50:11.900 wife

00:50:12.780 is

00:50:13.280 part

00:50:13.940 of

00:50:14.060 some

00:50:14.260 medical

00:50:14.560 team

00:50:14.860 looking

00:50:15.160 at

00:50:15.440 the

00:50:15.760 effectiveness

00:50:16.340 of

00:50:16.660 the

00:50:16.780 test

00:50:17.100 I

00:50:18.220 think

00:50:18.440 you

00:50:18.620 kind

00:50:18.900 of

00:50:19.020 already

00:50:19.340 know

00:50:19.700 don't

00:50:20.020 you

00:50:20.240 because

00:50:20.540 if

00:50:20.700 the

00:50:20.840 test

00:50:21.100 has

00:50:21.280 run

00:50:21.480 more

00:50:21.680 than

00:50:21.940 two

00:50:22.880 days

00:50:23.360 you

00:50:24.300 kind

00:50:24.680 of

00:50:24.860 already

00:50:25.380 know

00:50:25.860 because

00:50:26.580 if

00:50:26.740 it

00:50:26.860 didn't

00:50:27.060 work

00:50:27.260 in

00:50:27.400 two

00:50:27.560 days

00:50:27.820 it

00:50:27.960 doesn't

00:50:28.200 work

00:50:28.600 because

00:50:29.720 everything

00:50:30.260 that we've

00:50:30.720 heard

00:50:30.860 about

00:50:31.120 it

00:50:31.280 is

00:50:31.600 fairly

00:50:33.640 rapid

00:50:35.200 results

00:50:36.240 how

00:50:41.080 good

00:50:41.380 am

00:50:41.560 I

00:50:41.780 at

00:50:42.060 tennis

00:50:42.520 well

00:50:42.860 I

00:50:43.040 stopped

00:50:43.640 playing

00:50:43.940 tennis

00:50:44.340 but

00:50:45.200 at

00:50:45.420 my

00:50:45.580 best

00:50:45.940 I

00:50:46.140 was

00:50:46.280 probably

00:50:46.660 4

00:50:47.560 to

00:50:47.740 a

00:50:48.660 4.5

00:50:49.660 for

00:50:50.740 those

00:50:51.000 who

00:50:51.140 know

00:50:51.260 what

00:50:51.440 tennis

00:50:51.680 ratings

00:50:52.240 are

00:50:52.540 which

00:50:55.640 is

00:50:55.860 not

00:50:56.600 that

00:50:56.820 impressive

00:50:57.300 Cuomo

00:51:00.960 says

00:51:01.340 that

00:51:01.540 the

00:51:01.700 testing

00:51:02.040 is

00:51:02.280 going

00:51:02.520 strong

00:51:03.100 in

00:51:03.420 New

00:51:03.560 York

00:51:03.880 well

00:51:04.280 good

00:51:04.500 what

00:51:10.560 do

00:51:10.720 you

00:51:10.820 make

00:51:11.080 of

00:51:11.240 the

00:51:11.380 21

00:51:11.800 million

00:51:12.220 deactivated

00:51:13.180 Chinese

00:51:13.660 mobile

00:51:14.060 phones

00:51:14.580 well

00:51:16.700 I

00:51:17.800 have

00:51:18.220 a

00:51:18.520 number

00:51:18.840 of

00:51:19.280 hypotheses

00:51:20.220 number

00:51:21.700 one

00:51:22.180 it

00:51:23.000 didn't

00:51:23.300 happen

00:51:23.740 so

00:51:24.800 the

00:51:25.220 first

00:51:25.580 most

00:51:26.260 obvious

00:51:26.640 hypothesis

00:51:27.280 is that

00:51:28.420 wherever

00:51:28.800 this

00:51:29.220 report

00:51:29.660 comes

00:51:29.980 out

00:51:30.340 that

00:51:31.300 somehow

00:51:31.660 there

00:51:31.940 were

00:51:32.080 suddenly

00:51:32.460 21

00:51:33.060 million

00:51:33.580 fewer

00:51:34.260 phones

00:51:35.320 and of

00:51:35.820 course

00:51:36.040 people

00:51:36.380 suggesting

00:51:36.920 that

00:51:37.120 means

00:51:37.300 they

00:51:37.440 died

00:51:37.760 my

00:51:39.080 first

00:51:39.480 most

00:51:40.040 obvious

00:51:40.420 thing

00:51:40.700 would

00:51:40.840 be

00:51:41.040 okay

00:51:41.320 it's

00:51:41.480 probably

00:51:41.660 just

00:51:41.860 not

00:51:42.100 true

00:51:42.540 that

00:51:43.700 that

00:51:44.640 data

00:51:45.700 point

00:51:46.080 just

00:51:46.380 didn't

00:51:46.700 happen

00:51:47.040 so

00:51:48.040 I'd

00:51:48.420 say

00:51:48.580 that's

00:51:48.860 probably

00:51:49.180 at least

00:51:49.540 an

00:51:49.780 85%

00:51:50.660 chance

00:51:51.260 that

00:51:52.040 that's

00:51:52.300 all

00:51:52.460 it

00:51:52.620 is

00:51:52.860 it

00:51:53.000 just

00:51:53.200 didn't

00:51:53.720 happen

00:51:54.020 but

00:51:55.580 let's

00:51:55.760 say

00:51:55.860 it

00:51:55.980 did

00:51:56.200 just

00:51:56.820 for

00:51:57.020 fun

00:51:57.320 how

00:51:58.020 else

00:51:58.380 could

00:51:58.620 you

00:51:58.980 explain

00:51:59.660 it

00:51:59.960 well

00:52:01.000 you

00:52:01.540 could

00:52:01.680 explain

00:52:02.000 it

00:52:02.120 this

00:52:02.280 way

00:52:02.480 you

00:52:02.820 might

00:52:03.040 have

00:52:03.460 some

00:52:04.780 kind

00:52:05.020 of

00:52:05.140 a

00:52:05.380 system

00:52:05.980 change

00:52:06.600 that

00:52:07.460 simply

00:52:07.780 made

00:52:08.060 it

00:52:08.180 look

00:52:08.480 like

00:52:08.720 they

00:52:08.880 disappeared

00:52:09.420 and

00:52:10.240 I

00:52:10.400 don't

00:52:10.500 know

00:52:10.600 what

00:52:10.720 that

00:52:10.840 would

00:52:10.980 look

00:52:11.140 like

00:52:11.360 but

00:52:11.520 just

00:52:11.740 for

00:52:12.220 brainstorming

00:52:13.020 purposes

00:52:13.440 let's

00:52:13.840 say

00:52:14.120 they

00:52:15.320 got rid

00:52:15.880 of

00:52:16.000 an

00:52:16.120 area

00:52:16.360 code

00:52:16.780 or

00:52:17.080 added

00:52:17.400 an

00:52:17.680 area

00:52:17.900 code

00:52:18.340 and

00:52:18.760 it

00:52:19.000 was

00:52:19.140 some

00:52:19.600 massive

00:52:20.160 switch

00:52:21.320 of

00:52:21.520 phone

00:52:21.720 numbers

00:52:22.160 and

00:52:24.080 it

00:52:24.200 made

00:52:24.380 it

00:52:24.500 look

00:52:24.660 like

00:52:25.000 a

00:52:25.520 bunch

00:52:25.680 of

00:52:25.800 phones

00:52:26.020 disappeared

00:52:26.640 but

00:52:27.800 maybe

00:52:28.160 on

00:52:28.560 the

00:52:28.680 next

00:52:28.900 report

00:52:29.380 they

00:52:29.920 would

00:52:30.120 reappear

00:52:30.660 because

00:52:30.980 they

00:52:31.120 just

00:52:31.340 transferred

00:52:31.940 to

00:52:32.160 another

00:52:32.500 you

00:52:32.800 so

00:52:33.380 you

00:52:33.540 could

00:52:33.700 imagine

00:52:34.120 ways

00:52:34.680 that

00:52:35.460 there

00:52:35.600 would

00:52:35.720 just

00:52:35.860 be

00:52:36.040 some

00:52:36.360 system

00:52:37.120 change

00:52:37.760 that

00:52:38.480 made

00:52:38.700 it

00:52:38.820 look

00:52:38.960 like

00:52:39.180 a

00:52:39.280 whole

00:52:39.400 bunch

00:52:39.600 of

00:52:39.720 phones

00:52:39.960 disappeared

00:52:40.520 for a

00:52:40.880 month

00:52:41.080 and

00:52:41.240 then

00:52:41.380 they

00:52:41.520 come

00:52:41.700 back

00:52:42.020 I'm

00:52:43.080 not

00:52:43.200 saying

00:52:43.420 that's

00:52:43.640 likely

00:52:43.960 I'm

00:52:44.240 just

00:52:44.360 saying

00:52:44.540 you

00:52:44.700 could

00:52:44.860 imagine

00:52:45.240 other

00:52:45.540 reasons

00:52:45.900 another

00:52:48.140 reason

00:52:48.480 would

00:52:48.680 be

00:52:48.980 and

00:52:49.460 again

00:52:49.800 just

00:52:50.120 brainstorm

00:52:51.300 me

00:52:51.620 suppose

00:52:52.580 that

00:52:53.360 the

00:52:53.680 Chinese

00:52:54.060 were

00:52:54.300 using

00:52:54.660 the

00:52:54.920 phones

00:52:55.360 to

00:52:56.660 track

00:52:57.300 people

00:52:59.300 who

00:52:59.680 were

00:52:59.980 suspected

00:53:00.660 of

00:53:00.900 coming

00:53:01.200 in

00:53:01.380 contact

00:53:01.780 so

00:53:02.280 let's

00:53:02.480 say

00:53:02.640 that

00:53:02.840 the

00:53:03.140 Chinese

00:53:03.720 authorities

00:53:04.180 said

00:53:04.620 hand

00:53:05.580 me

00:53:05.740 your

00:53:05.940 phone

00:53:06.280 and

00:53:07.160 by

00:53:07.380 the

00:53:07.520 way

00:53:07.660 you're

00:53:07.840 never

00:53:08.020 going

00:53:08.200 to

00:53:08.300 see

00:53:08.460 it

00:53:08.560 again

00:53:08.820 because

00:53:09.180 I'm

00:53:09.340 going

00:53:09.440 to

00:53:09.520 use

00:53:09.760 your

00:53:09.940 phone

00:53:10.300 back

00:53:11.300 at

00:53:11.460 the

00:53:11.580 office

00:53:12.040 and

00:53:12.940 I'm

00:53:13.420 going

00:53:13.540 to

00:53:13.620 track

00:53:13.960 it

00:53:14.300 and

00:53:14.480 I'm

00:53:14.660 going

00:53:14.840 to

00:53:14.960 take

00:53:15.400 your

00:53:15.580 data

00:53:15.940 but

00:53:16.740 it's

00:53:17.160 an

00:53:17.300 emergency

00:53:17.740 and

00:53:18.100 you're

00:53:18.300 just

00:53:18.440 never

00:53:18.700 going

00:53:18.900 to

00:53:19.000 see

00:53:19.140 your

00:53:19.300 phone

00:53:19.520 again

00:53:19.820 sorry

00:53:20.420 you can

00:53:21.220 buy

00:53:21.380 a

00:53:21.500 new

00:53:21.660 phone

00:53:21.960 but

00:53:23.380 I'm

00:53:23.920 going

00:53:24.020 to

00:53:31.780 so

00:53:32.380 one

00:53:32.660 possibility

00:53:33.200 is

00:53:33.940 that

00:53:34.080 they

00:53:34.260 confiscated

00:53:35.020 21

00:53:35.480 million

00:53:35.820 phones

00:53:36.400 didn't

00:53:37.500 really

00:53:37.760 have

00:53:38.040 an

00:53:38.340 intention

00:53:38.900 of

00:53:39.140 giving

00:53:39.380 them

00:53:39.540 back

00:53:39.900 or

00:53:40.080 didn't

00:53:40.300 want

00:53:40.560 to

00:53:40.840 or

00:53:41.220 they're

00:53:42.060 corrupt

00:53:42.420 and

00:53:42.600 they

00:53:42.760 just

00:53:42.980 sold

00:53:43.280 them

00:53:43.460 on

00:53:43.580 the

00:53:43.700 black

00:53:43.960 market

00:53:44.400 I

00:53:44.720 don't

00:53:44.820 know

00:53:44.980 but

00:53:45.520 you

00:53:45.640 could

00:53:45.780 easily

00:53:46.040 imagine

00:53:46.380 that

00:53:46.640 they

00:53:46.880 confiscated

00:53:48.380 21

00:53:48.760 million

00:53:49.080 phones

00:53:49.540 just

00:53:50.140 to

00:53:50.460 check

00:53:51.520 who

00:53:51.840 they

00:53:52.020 had

00:53:52.180 been

00:53:52.400 contacting

00:53:53.000 with

00:53:53.300 right

00:53:53.520 so

00:53:54.580 I

00:53:55.440 don't

00:53:55.580 know

00:53:55.700 the

00:53:55.820 answer

00:53:56.000 to

00:53:56.120 the

00:53:56.200 question

00:53:56.540 but

00:53:56.860 my

00:53:57.120 best

00:53:57.440 guess

00:53:57.720 is

00:53:57.880 it

00:53:58.040 doesn't

00:53:58.360 mean

00:53:58.540 that

00:53:58.720 21

00:53:59.060 million

00:53:59.380 people

00:53:59.700 died

00:54:00.140 I

00:54:01.000 think

00:54:01.540 it's

00:54:01.780 safe

00:54:02.020 to

00:54:02.220 say

00:54:02.460 far

00:54:02.800 more

00:54:03.040 people

00:54:03.320 died

00:54:03.600 than

00:54:03.760 the

00:54:03.920 reporting

00:54:04.400 but

00:54:05.340 I

00:54:05.500 think

00:54:05.800 we

00:54:06.020 would

00:54:06.200 know

00:54:06.460 if

00:54:06.700 it

00:54:06.800 were

00:54:06.920 21

00:54:07.460 million

00:54:07.920 so

00:54:09.700 I

00:54:10.040 feel

00:54:10.300 confident

00:54:10.820 in

00:54:11.120 this

00:54:11.320 statement

00:54:11.740 the

00:54:13.700 real

00:54:13.960 death

00:54:14.240 toll

00:54:14.540 is

00:54:14.760 probably

00:54:15.000 a lot

00:54:15.360 more

00:54:15.560 than

00:54:15.720 China

00:54:16.000 is

00:54:16.160 saying

00:54:16.480 but

00:54:17.720 not

00:54:18.080 so

00:54:18.760 much

00:54:19.020 more

00:54:19.360 than

00:54:20.340 it's

00:54:20.540 in

00:54:20.640 the

00:54:20.760 range

00:54:21.020 of

00:54:21.180 21

00:54:21.740 million

00:54:22.140 because

00:54:22.560 I

00:54:22.960 don't

00:54:23.200 see

00:54:23.440 there's

00:54:23.700 any

00:54:27.440 couldn't

00:54:28.860 figure

00:54:29.120 that

00:54:29.420 out

00:54:29.680 if

00:54:30.440 21

00:54:30.880 million

00:54:31.200 people

00:54:31.520 died

00:54:31.820 and

00:54:31.960 we

00:54:32.080 didn't

00:54:32.300 notice

00:54:32.700 we'd

00:54:33.520 have

00:54:33.640 to

00:54:33.760 fire

00:54:34.060 all

00:54:34.260 of

00:54:34.400 our

00:54:34.520 intelligence

00:54:34.940 people

00:54:35.300 I

00:54:35.460 think

00:54:35.660 all

00:54:37.560 right

00:54:37.760 I

00:54:38.640 think

00:54:38.760 that's

00:54:39.000 about

00:54:39.220 all

00:54:39.380 I

00:54:39.500 got

00:54:39.660 for

00:54:39.820 today

00:54:40.180 will

00:54:41.480 I

00:54:41.620 be

00:54:41.740 appearing

00:54:42.020 on the

00:54:42.760 show

00:54:42.940 before

00:54:43.260 the

00:54:43.440 election

00:54:43.780 I

00:54:44.120 doubt

00:54:44.420 it

00:54:44.720 I

00:54:47.000 don't

00:54:47.220 get

00:54:47.380 the

00:54:47.580 sense

00:54:47.900 that

00:54:48.160 I

00:54:48.320 would

00:54:48.460 be

00:54:48.600 invited

00:54:48.980 yeah

00:54:50.040 obviously

00:54:50.960 it's

00:54:51.160 not

00:54:51.320 up

00:54:51.440 to

00:54:51.560 me

00:54:51.860 could

00:54:54.360 beat

00:54:54.580 Billie

00:54:54.900 Jean

00:54:55.160 King

00:54:55.540 no

00:54:55.960 I

00:54:56.220 couldn't

00:54:57.280 even

00:54:57.900 well

00:54:58.760 actually

00:54:59.060 let me

00:54:59.480 take

00:54:59.640 that

00:54:59.800 back

00:55:00.100 only

00:55:03.520 the

00:55:03.720 people

00:55:04.000 who

00:55:04.180 are

00:55:04.320 a

00:55:04.480 certain

00:55:04.640 age

00:55:04.900 know

00:55:05.080 that

00:55:05.240 Billie

00:55:05.460 Jean

00:55:09.820 older

00:55:10.180 and

00:55:11.680 the

00:55:11.800 time

00:55:12.040 on

00:55:12.160 the

00:55:12.240 women's

00:55:12.580 side

00:55:12.860 and

00:55:13.700 so

00:55:13.940 just

00:55:14.340 as

00:55:14.560 a

00:55:14.720 spectacle

00:55:15.120 they

00:55:15.460 decided

00:55:15.800 to

00:55:16.000 play

00:55:16.320 and

00:55:16.820 make

00:55:17.040 it

00:55:17.180 the

00:55:17.440 male

00:55:19.760 sexist

00:55:20.340 pig

00:55:20.660 against

00:55:21.020 the

00:55:21.260 feminist

00:55:21.700 and

00:55:21.920 sort

00:55:22.180 of

00:55:22.380 bill

00:55:22.820 as

00:55:23.380 a

00:55:24.140 kind

00:55:24.700 of

00:55:25.160 natural

00:55:25.340 thing

00:55:25.720 and

00:55:27.000 Billie

00:55:27.820 Jean

00:55:28.040 actually

00:55:28.540 beat

00:55:29.400 Bobby

00:55:29.660 Riggs

00:55:29.960 but

00:55:30.240 anyway

00:55:30.600 if you

00:55:30.900 watch

00:55:31.140 any

00:55:31.300 of

00:55:31.440 the

00:55:31.660 old

00:55:32.480 stuff

00:55:33.260 here

00:55:35.280 I

00:55:36.280 don't

00:55:36.480 know

00:55:36.740 if

00:55:36.900 this

00:55:37.120 is

00:55:37.280 true

00:55:37.560 but

00:55:38.480 it

00:55:38.640 feels

00:55:38.880 like

00:55:39.120 it's

00:55:39.320 true

00:55:39.560 the

00:55:40.220 equipment

00:55:40.720 and

00:55:41.200 the

00:55:41.320 training

00:55:41.700 and

00:55:41.940 the

00:55:42.040 way

00:55:42.220 people

00:55:42.500 play

00:55:42.760 tennis

00:55:43.100 today

00:55:43.440 is

00:55:43.700 so

00:55:43.860 different

00:55:44.400 than

00:55:45.300 they

00:55:45.520 did

00:55:45.740 in

00:55:45.940 let's

00:55:46.140 say

00:55:46.260 the

00:55:46.460 60s

00:55:46.980 or

00:55:47.080 the

00:55:47.220 70s

00:55:47.740 that

00:55:48.820 I

00:55:49.360 think

00:55:49.640 just

00:55:50.000 a

00:55:50.220 really

00:55:50.520 good

00:55:51.000 player

00:55:51.680 might

00:55:52.840 be

00:55:53.000 able

00:55:53.160 to

00:55:53.320 beat

00:55:53.620 like a

00:55:54.700 top

00:55:54.920 10

00:55:55.200 player

00:55:55.560 from

00:55:55.800 the

00:55:55.960 60s

00:55:56.400 and

00:55:56.500 the

00:55:56.660 70s

00:55:57.180 because

00:55:57.840 the

00:55:58.100 ball

00:55:58.360 was

00:55:58.580 moving

00:55:58.860 so much

00:55:59.220 slower

00:55:59.540 back

00:55:59.780 then

00:56:00.100 and

00:56:00.240 they

00:56:00.360 had

00:56:00.460 wooden

00:56:00.880 rackets

00:56:01.500 and

00:56:01.700 you know

00:56:02.480 they just

00:56:02.920 played a

00:56:03.280 different

00:56:03.480 game

00:56:03.800 so

00:56:04.780 to

00:56:05.520 your

00:56:05.680 question

00:56:06.060 could

00:56:07.340 I

00:56:07.500 beat

00:56:07.880 Billy

00:56:10.880 Jean

00:56:11.200 King

00:56:11.560 if

00:56:12.280 she

00:56:12.500 played

00:56:12.840 the

00:56:13.020 way

00:56:13.200 she

00:56:13.400 did

00:56:13.640 then

00:56:14.020 with

00:56:14.380 the

00:56:14.500 equipment

00:56:14.920 you know

00:56:15.360 the

00:56:15.480 old

00:56:15.660 wooden

00:56:15.980 racket

00:56:16.320 and

00:56:17.400 I

00:56:17.560 played

00:56:17.880 her

00:56:18.040 when

00:56:18.240 I

00:56:18.400 was

00:56:18.600 at

00:56:19.060 the

00:56:19.260 peak

00:56:19.560 of

00:56:19.740 my

00:56:20.140 skills

00:56:21.200 which

00:56:21.460 might

00:56:21.640 have

00:56:21.720 been

00:56:21.840 around

00:56:22.140 age

00:56:22.520 55

00:56:23.680 probably

00:56:24.400 it was

00:56:24.680 when I

00:56:24.920 was

00:56:25.040 actually

00:56:25.280 playing

00:56:25.540 the

00:56:25.680 best

00:56:25.940 and

00:56:27.100 I

00:56:28.320 used

00:56:28.580 my

00:56:28.800 modern

00:56:29.140 equipment

00:56:29.660 I

00:56:31.440 think

00:56:31.620 I

00:56:31.760 could

00:56:31.900 have

00:56:32.000 beat

00:56:32.160 her

00:56:32.280 actually

00:56:32.600 but

00:56:34.080 only

00:56:34.260 because

00:56:34.540 the

00:56:34.680 equipment

00:56:35.020 difference

00:56:35.460 which

00:56:35.720 is

00:56:35.940 gigantic

00:56:36.660 somebody

00:56:40.000 says

00:56:40.300 you

00:56:40.440 were

00:56:40.560 dead

00:56:40.760 wrong

00:56:41.080 about

00:56:41.340 the

00:56:41.540 tennis

00:56:41.840 thing

00:56:42.240 I

00:56:42.780 don't

00:56:42.940 know

00:56:43.080 which

00:56:43.240 part

00:56:43.540 you're

00:56:43.840 saying

00:56:44.060 that

00:56:44.360 about

00:56:45.560 I

00:56:46.560 don't

00:56:46.760 doubt

00:56:47.020 that

00:56:47.220 you're

00:56:47.380 right

00:56:47.620 I

00:56:47.840 just

00:56:48.020 don't

00:56:48.240 know

00:56:48.340 what

00:56:48.520 you

00:56:48.660 were

00:56:48.800 complaining

00:56:49.180 about

00:56:49.520 that

00:56:52.800 I

00:56:53.000 could

00:56:53.180 beat

00:56:53.360 her

00:56:53.520 well

00:56:54.040 so

00:56:54.280 here's

00:56:54.540 the

00:56:54.660 thing

00:56:54.920 if

00:56:56.680 you

00:56:56.820 watch

00:56:57.020 Billy

00:56:57.280 Jean

00:56:57.540 King

00:56:57.880 you

00:56:58.560 know

00:56:58.700 hitting

00:56:59.080 the

00:56:59.300 ball

00:56:59.600 in

00:57:00.440 a

00:57:00.560 hard

00:57:00.860 way

00:57:01.240 back

00:57:02.540 in

00:57:02.700 those

00:57:02.960 days

00:57:03.280 it's

00:57:04.260 not

00:57:04.500 as

00:57:04.680 hard

00:57:04.900 as

00:57:05.140 just

00:57:05.640 regular

00:57:06.160 people

00:57:06.520 I

00:57:06.720 would

00:57:06.880 play

00:57:07.140 on

00:57:07.280 the

00:57:07.380 weekends

00:57:07.780 and

00:57:08.420 I

00:57:08.560 could

00:57:08.740 hit

00:57:08.880 it

00:57:09.000 back

00:57:09.260 far

00:57:09.820 harder

00:57:10.200 so

00:57:11.460 if

00:57:11.680 I

00:57:11.820 could

00:57:11.980 return

00:57:12.300 the

00:57:12.480 ball

00:57:12.680 far

00:57:13.060 harder

00:57:13.480 it

00:57:14.360 wouldn't

00:57:14.520 even

00:57:14.720 be

00:57:14.880 that

00:57:15.060 hard

00:57:15.420 because

00:57:16.620 she

00:57:16.760 didn't

00:57:16.960 hit

00:57:17.100 it

00:57:17.200 that

00:57:17.360 hard

00:57:17.600 yeah

00:57:18.040 I

00:57:18.360 probably

00:57:19.100 could

00:57:19.420 press

00:57:19.760 her

00:57:19.940 and

00:57:20.200 I

00:57:20.320 think

00:57:20.500 I

00:57:20.640 could

00:57:20.760 actually

00:57:21.100 at

00:57:22.260 least

00:57:22.440 it's

00:57:22.680 possible

00:57:23.100 I

00:57:23.320 could

00:57:23.420 have

00:57:23.520 beaten

00:57:23.700 her

00:57:24.220 yeah

00:57:30.580 all

00:57:31.200 right

00:57:31.400 I

00:57:32.080 have
