Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 911 Scott Adams： Swaddle and Learn Surprising Things

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, come on in. It's time for the evening swaddle. You can have a blanket or a towel, doesn't matter.

00:00:20.580 Well, I'm swaddling with a towel today because, well, you'll find out why.

00:00:26.000 So, we've got news coming at us so fast, it's like a fire hose into a Dixie cup.

00:00:35.520 And I'm just the Dixie cup to grab that fire hose full of water and tell you what it all means.

00:00:42.420 I'm glad you could make it.

00:00:44.340 And here's what it means, in no particular order.

00:00:49.240 Let's start with the bad news.

00:00:50.620 So, have you noticed that people are really bad at evaluating things?

00:00:56.760 Sorry, I've got a candy.

00:01:00.380 People are really bad at evaluating things.

00:01:03.740 And this situation has really brought that into stark relief, as they like to say, as you watch people do a bad job evaluating things.

00:01:11.960 Let me give you an example.

00:01:12.740 People said, those models were not accurate.

00:01:20.260 Because first they said it might be a billion or two, and then they settled on it could be a billion at the high side, but it might be 100,000 at the low side.

00:01:27.680 And then it got revised to 60,000, and people said, the models, the models are wrong.

00:01:32.960 Because you said, you said it was going to be at least 100,000.

00:01:39.800 Now you're down to 60,000, and you made us do all this stuff.

00:01:44.640 To which I say, there's something missing in the analysis.

00:01:49.860 And it goes like this.

00:01:52.460 Which part of our plan to get back to work makes the virus go away?

00:01:58.900 Anybody? Anybody?

00:02:00.260 Which part of all the plans to go back to work feature the virus just not being there anymore?

00:02:08.720 Is the answer none?

00:02:10.800 I think the answer is none.

00:02:13.320 So, if the answer is none, that means that whenever we go back to work, and here's the key part.

00:02:20.700 However, we go back to work, that 50,000 number will no longer be valid because we won't be mitigating.

00:02:31.980 I don't believe the models have any kind of an end state contemplated.

00:02:41.040 Am I right?

00:02:42.000 I believe the models don't assume that the virus ever goes away.

00:02:48.720 The models assume that they sort of just trails off to some low number forever.

00:02:56.300 But we don't have a cure.

00:02:57.660 And nor do we think that the vaccine will be like a magic thing that makes it go away.

00:03:03.720 So, here's the thing.

00:03:05.500 Did the models get it wrong? 0.88

00:03:10.020 Unfortunately, that number's not going to be 60,000.

00:03:13.240 Because it's pretty clear that we're going to go back to work.

00:03:16.060 One way or another, whether it's May or June or any time after that, we're going back to work.

00:03:21.940 And the counter starts again.

00:03:26.000 Because we can test like crazy, and we can take hydroxychloroquine clean, if that works, or whatever.

00:03:33.960 But the fact is, it'll still be with us, and still be viral, and still be killing people.

00:03:38.060 So, it's going to take its number.

00:03:41.000 The only plan that anybody has contemplated involves, what, 1% of the United States times 60% getting it?

00:03:52.400 What's that number?

00:03:53.920 So, the actual number, if you're asking yourself, what's the actual number?

00:03:59.120 We're contemplating going back to work now.

00:04:02.140 The going back to work number is back in the hundreds of thousands.

00:04:06.740 And that 60,000 immediately just gets thrown out the window.

00:04:10.500 It's like, oh, now you're back to hundreds of thousands.

00:04:13.380 So, I think people are not quite seeing this right.

00:04:16.800 They're imagining that 60,000 is the worst case or something, so that we can get back to work.

00:04:23.680 Ah, it's just 50,000.

00:04:25.280 But there is no path like that.

00:04:27.460 That doesn't exist.

00:04:28.940 It's either never go back to work, or it's hundreds of thousands of deaths.

00:04:33.800 I would predict at this point that we will accept the hundreds of thousands of deaths,

00:04:41.140 but not until we've taken it as far as we can take it to flatten the curve.

00:04:46.000 So, in the end, you don't have to ask what path we'll pick, because there's only one.

00:04:55.320 There's only one path.

00:04:57.260 And the path is, we're going to go back to work sometime in the next few weeks,

00:05:02.480 and we're going to have hundreds of thousands of deaths.

00:05:06.000 There's just no way around it.

00:05:07.920 That's it.

00:05:08.700 Now, we might be able to avoid crashing the hospitals, but I doubt it.

00:05:14.140 I think that all this preparation we have now that we didn't need,

00:05:18.860 we'll probably dismantle it and then, you know, wish we had it later.

00:05:23.900 So, that's the bad news.

00:05:25.400 So, if anybody tells you that they're working on a plan,

00:05:28.900 you should have a little recording in your head.

00:05:31.220 And it's like, oh, okay, we are going to accept a few hundred thousand deaths.

00:05:37.100 Because otherwise, there is no plan.

00:05:38.880 There's no plan without that.

00:05:40.400 It can't happen.

00:05:42.360 Trump was funny because he played a compilation clip

00:05:44.980 at the press conference mocking the media.

00:05:50.420 Did you see that?

00:05:52.340 It was a pretty ballsy play.

00:05:54.840 It's a compilation clip of just all of them being wrong about the coronavirus,

00:05:58.680 same as he was.

00:05:59.360 Now, here's the thing that nobody has quite figured out yet.

00:06:03.680 And when I say it, when I say this, you're going to be mad at yourself

00:06:07.440 that you didn't think of it.

00:06:09.480 So, that's my challenge to you.

00:06:11.640 I'm going to say something that as soon as you hear it,

00:06:13.440 you're going to say, oh, that's really obvious.

00:06:15.780 But it wasn't until you said it.

00:06:17.480 Here it goes.

00:06:18.100 You saw the talk about Trump might want to fire Fauci.

00:06:25.780 There's no way.

00:06:27.680 And here's why.

00:06:28.680 And this is the part that's going to make you mad.

00:06:30.480 As long as Fauci exists and he's on the team,

00:06:34.900 Fauci is apparently willing to say what he said today and he said before,

00:06:39.360 but he said it really clearly today.

00:06:41.300 He said every time that I and Dr. Birx recommended something to the president,

00:06:47.740 he said yes.

00:06:49.080 Every single time.

00:06:50.640 Now, if you're the president and the top recognized expert in the world

00:06:57.080 is giving you that much cover,

00:06:59.260 and the expert is saying, look, he did everything we asked him to do.

00:07:03.900 We're the experts.

00:07:05.880 That is 100% cover.

00:07:09.040 Do you think that Trump is going to fire the guy that gives him 100% cover?

00:07:15.640 Because remember, he's the top viral guy.

00:07:18.320 He says often and clearly,

00:07:22.160 Trump did everything I recommended and fairly quickly to.

00:07:26.700 Now, Fauci says, but it's also not my fault, effectively,

00:07:30.660 because he was operating on faulty information from China.

00:07:35.860 So you have this perfect setup.

00:07:38.240 So Trump can blame Fauci, and he's right.

00:07:42.340 I don't think that's an excuse.

00:07:44.880 If your top expert tells you what to do, and then you do it,

00:07:50.220 well, that's about as good as you can do,

00:07:53.180 if you're not an expert yourself.

00:07:55.200 So, Trump has a perfect alibi in Fauci.

00:07:59.340 Fauci has a perfect alibi in China,

00:08:02.080 because everybody agrees that China was lying,

00:08:04.660 so Fauci didn't have the right information.

00:08:06.340 But who does China blame?

00:08:11.500 The United States.

00:08:14.180 Trump.

00:08:16.340 So it's a perfect circle of life of blame.

00:08:21.600 Trump can blame Fauci.

00:08:23.760 Fauci can blame China.

00:08:25.260 Then China just goes back and blames Trump.

00:08:28.180 Everybody's got somebody to blame.

00:08:30.600 So Fauci's not getting fired.

00:08:32.220 He's the perfect person to have in that position

00:08:36.220 if you want to get re-elected, and your name is Trump.

00:08:39.020 And by the way, I don't think, in my opinion,

00:08:42.320 Fauci hasn't made any mistakes.

00:08:44.800 He simply had bad information like everybody else.

00:08:47.460 Fog of war.

00:08:49.580 You know, you could say somebody should have guessed better,

00:08:51.880 but that's not fair.

00:08:53.880 You know, at the time, nobody knew what was going on.

00:08:59.420 I had a phone call today.

00:09:01.580 I called a local restaurant,

00:09:03.120 because I was curious what the most capable operator

00:09:07.580 in my town was doing.

00:09:10.460 So it's a restaurant that doesn't appear on DoorDash,

00:09:13.620 and so I looked for it.

00:09:14.920 I was going to order food one time,

00:09:16.620 and it wasn't on there.

00:09:18.020 So I thought, uh-oh, if they're not doing takeout.

00:09:20.660 So anyway, I know the owner, so I called him

00:09:23.560 and said, you know, how are you doing?

00:09:26.400 Now, I'll have to say again,

00:09:28.640 the reason that I focused on this one restaurant,

00:09:31.200 this one owner, is that, you know,

00:09:33.280 I owned a restaurant locally,

00:09:34.660 and I can tell you he's the best restaurant owner,

00:09:38.340 you know, the best entrepreneurial,

00:09:40.800 just the smartest, savviest restaurant owner in the area.

00:09:44.240 So I thought, whatever he's doing, I've got to find out.

00:09:47.220 So here's what he said.

00:09:48.540 And so they fairly quickly, you know,

00:09:51.540 retooled their operation to be takeout only.

00:09:54.500 He kept half of his staff.

00:09:56.580 That's what he could do,

00:09:57.480 but he's also applying for the SBA thing,

00:10:00.180 so he'll be able to bring them back

00:10:01.540 with a guarantee pretty soon.

00:10:03.520 So that's pretty good.

00:10:04.600 Kept half of them, you know, went to takeout.

00:10:07.880 But apparently he's being quite creative,

00:10:09.980 so they've already changed their website

00:10:11.300 to say that they have all these offerings.

00:10:13.220 And they'll take you down to the curb for you.

00:10:17.240 So you can just call them up, put in your order,

00:10:20.480 drive up and text them, I guess,

00:10:22.380 and they pop out and give it to you.

00:10:24.420 But here's the great part.

00:10:25.660 He made an offer for Easter

00:10:27.280 that he would, you know, make your meal for you,

00:10:29.900 sort of a catering situation,

00:10:31.560 and you just had to come pick it up.

00:10:32.940 And he had lines around the block.

00:10:38.440 And here's the fun part.

00:10:39.980 He almost made as much

00:10:41.540 as he made last year the same weekend,

00:10:44.620 you know, Easter weekend.

00:10:45.980 So it was such a smashing success.

00:10:48.460 Now, a lot of it had to do with the fact

00:10:49.760 that the local population is really,

00:10:53.520 it looks like they're stepping up

00:10:54.680 to support their locals.

00:10:56.820 So I called them and said,

00:10:58.300 what can I do?

00:10:59.200 You know, how can I help?

00:11:00.440 And I told them that we talked a little bit,

00:11:02.560 and I said, I'll put a mention on Nextdoor.

00:11:07.360 That's the local app

00:11:08.640 that just goes out to your neighbors.

00:11:11.280 And I'll remind them that you're,

00:11:13.040 you know, that you're open for business

00:11:14.700 and you'll take it out to the curb

00:11:16.800 and he's not on DoorDash and stuff.

00:11:19.080 So I did a little advertisement for him

00:11:21.140 on the local media

00:11:23.700 that a lot of people look at.

00:11:25.260 Now, I don't know if that'll make any difference,

00:11:26.680 but here was the idea that I suggested.

00:11:30.280 Because one of the things he'll do

00:11:31.680 is he'll actually sell people uncooked cuts of meat.

00:11:37.520 So he'll get them from his distributor,

00:11:39.420 and then if somebody wants to cook it at home,

00:11:41.900 they don't want to go to the grocery store

00:11:43.340 and they want a nice cut,

00:11:45.100 he'll prepare the little meal,

00:11:46.600 including the uncooked meat.

00:11:49.180 And I asked them,

00:11:51.100 hey, you know, given that restaurants

00:11:52.280 have a different supply chain,

00:11:54.840 couldn't, you know,

00:11:55.920 given that everybody's being flexible,

00:11:57.740 could a customer call you and say,

00:11:59.540 you know, I'd like to get a, you know,

00:12:02.300 giant sack of, I don't know, vegetables,

00:12:05.460 or I want to get some industrial toilet paper,

00:12:08.640 the kind that they have in offices,

00:12:10.740 but, you know, you don't get in the grocery store.

00:12:13.540 Because that's a different supply chain.

00:12:16.340 So if you really needed to get food

00:12:18.700 and your grocery store was too busy

00:12:20.760 or you didn't want to deal with the crowds

00:12:22.680 or you're trying to get something like toilet paper,

00:12:25.640 try calling an independent restaurant

00:12:29.220 and just say,

00:12:31.080 hey, if you can order these items for me

00:12:33.840 from your regular suppliers,

00:12:36.280 just give me a call

00:12:37.240 and I'll come pick them up

00:12:38.380 and I'll give you whatever markup.

00:12:41.860 So that's one other option that's out there.

00:12:45.760 I guess Andrew Yang's,

00:12:48.280 was it his campaign manager?

00:12:50.480 Who tweeted today,

00:12:51.480 I can't believe Andrew Yang endorsed Joe Biden.

00:12:53.800 What a sellout.

00:12:57.160 What?

00:12:58.660 So I guess Andrew Yang's,

00:13:00.760 I think he's a campaign manager.

00:13:02.140 We're not too happy.

00:13:05.420 Did you see the Joe Biden video

00:13:07.740 with Bernie?

00:13:10.420 Oh my God.

00:13:12.440 It looks so bad.

00:13:14.580 So Bernie was poorly lit

00:13:16.120 and he looks like,

00:13:17.020 you know,

00:13:17.380 looks like some troll under the bridge or something.

00:13:20.600 Biden looked like somebody put makeup on him.

00:13:23.820 Did you wonder about that?

00:13:25.860 Who got close enough to Biden

00:13:27.280 to put all that makeup on him?

00:13:29.460 Could have been his wife, actually.

00:13:30.860 So he looked,

00:13:32.400 Biden looked confused and lost, of course.

00:13:34.880 He was reading off a teleprompter,

00:13:36.960 even though he was talking to his good friend, Bernie.

00:13:40.520 I'll tell you,

00:13:41.220 Biden is completely,

00:13:43.720 yeah,

00:13:43.880 awkward is exactly where I was going for.

00:13:46.580 They were both awkward.

00:13:48.500 And I don't think Biden has mastered the medium.

00:13:52.860 You know,

00:13:54.780 Biden is good in a crowd.

00:13:56.080 He's good.

00:13:56.360 He's a good retail politician,

00:13:57.800 you know,

00:13:58.020 shaking hands and stuff.

00:13:59.220 But man,

00:13:59.700 when you put him just in front of a camera

00:14:01.300 and he's got to talk to somebody on video,

00:14:04.520 he loses all of his spark.

00:14:08.440 It was really hard to watch.

00:14:11.600 Here's some bad news,

00:14:13.240 I hate to say.

00:14:13.940 There was a thread that I tweeted

00:14:18.480 from an ER doctor

00:14:21.000 who says that they've given

00:14:22.980 hydroxychloroquine to pretty much everybody

00:14:25.440 in the ICU.

00:14:26.480 So if they get to that point,

00:14:28.060 he said they all get it.

00:14:29.300 And as far as he can tell,

00:14:31.000 it doesn't make any difference.

00:14:33.280 Now,

00:14:33.620 he was specific to say,

00:14:35.240 I'm only talking about the ones

00:14:36.440 who are already in the ICU.

00:14:38.180 So they're in bad shape.

00:14:39.740 But in his view,

00:14:40.700 the hydroxychloroquine,

00:14:43.000 at least just anecdotally,

00:14:44.340 he said,

00:14:44.700 I've seen no difference.

00:14:46.280 It doesn't work at all.

00:14:47.840 So the fact that that is.

00:14:49.300 We would like to think

00:14:50.380 that it still works

00:14:51.280 if you get it early.

00:14:53.140 But we might be surprised.

00:14:56.200 And that's part of the reason

00:14:57.160 that I was saying at the top there

00:14:58.920 that we don't have a plan

00:15:00.940 that doesn't still cost

00:15:02.900 hundreds of thousands of lives,

00:15:04.600 maybe a million.

00:15:05.940 I think we're probably back

00:15:08.100 to a million, aren't we?

00:15:09.920 Because if we just go to work

00:15:11.440 and work for three years

00:15:12.520 and the virus keeps pecking at us,

00:15:14.720 it should kill a million of us 0.63

00:15:16.040 in three years.

00:15:20.320 There was something

00:15:21.240 that Trump said today

00:15:22.640 at the task force press conference

00:15:25.220 that I'll bet

00:15:27.040 I'm the only person who noticed.

00:15:29.800 We'll see if any of you noticed.

00:15:31.980 He used a phrase

00:15:33.260 that he's gotten in trouble for before.

00:15:36.540 And he was just doing

00:15:37.340 a monologue

00:15:38.500 about how bad the press is

00:15:40.100 and he used this phrase,

00:15:42.100 you people.

00:15:43.780 Now when he said you people,

00:15:45.980 he was not addressing anybody

00:15:47.620 and he wasn't,

00:15:48.380 I don't think he was even answering

00:15:49.480 a specific question from anybody.

00:15:51.080 He was just doing a monologue

00:15:52.440 about how bad the press is

00:15:54.720 and when he was referring to them

00:15:56.440 collectively in the room,

00:15:57.540 he goes,

00:15:58.280 and you people,

00:16:00.600 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:16:01.980 I bet you didn't catch it at all, right?

00:16:03.440 Because it was just part of an unimportant sentence.

00:16:07.800 Blah, blah, blah.

00:16:08.440 Then you people do this.

00:16:09.980 Remember how much trouble he got in

00:16:11.840 when he said the same phrase,

00:16:14.560 you people,

00:16:15.740 when he was answering,

00:16:16.980 what is the name of the reporter for NPR

00:16:20.580 who is African American?

00:16:24.260 And everybody said,

00:16:25.380 oh, you people,

00:16:26.680 you people,

00:16:27.380 we've seen this before.

00:16:30.280 The only time anybody says,

00:16:32.500 you people,

00:16:33.860 we know what he means.

00:16:35.720 Racist dog whistle.

00:16:37.900 Racist dog whistle.

00:16:39.080 Nobody uses that phrase,

00:16:40.960 you people,

00:16:42.180 unless they're racist.

00:16:44.900 Except,

00:16:46.180 he just used it in a sentence

00:16:47.720 that was just talking about a group of people

00:16:49.800 exactly the way he was talking about it before.

00:16:52.140 So,

00:16:52.560 oh, somebody did notice it.

00:16:54.020 Yeah, somebody did notice it.

00:16:55.080 Yeah, so you people is the press, obviously.

00:17:00.120 So,

00:17:00.720 I like that he slipped that in there.

00:17:02.120 I don't know if that was,

00:17:02.900 I don't think it was intentional,

00:17:04.060 but that worked out to his favor.

00:17:09.340 Here's something that's really clever

00:17:11.320 about what Trump is doing right now.

00:17:15.100 Yeah,

00:17:15.720 Yamiche,

00:17:16.960 is Yamiche,

00:17:17.800 Yamiche Alcindor is her name,

00:17:20.400 the reporter.

00:17:22.420 Thank you.

00:17:23.020 So,

00:17:24.340 here's what Trump is doing this clever.

00:17:25.980 Now,

00:17:26.120 I don't think he's doing it as a strategy,

00:17:28.120 but man,

00:17:28.660 does it work well as a strategy.

00:17:30.440 So,

00:17:30.700 what would the,

00:17:31.340 what would the Democrats

00:17:33.300 most like to attack Trump for

00:17:36.100 in the fall?

00:17:37.920 Well,

00:17:38.420 they've tried every kind of attack,

00:17:39.840 but I think the one attack

00:17:41.360 that they'd really like to make

00:17:44.260 is that he doesn't listen to science,

00:17:47.160 right?

00:17:48.080 Isn't the one thing

00:17:49.280 they really want to nail him on

00:17:51.040 is not listening to the experts.

00:17:53.720 And he's going to go into the election

00:17:55.400 after several months

00:17:57.200 of doing nothing but

00:17:58.340 conspicuously and publicly

00:18:00.280 following the advice of the experts,

00:18:02.680 even while half the country

00:18:04.640 is thinking the experts are wrong.

00:18:07.280 So,

00:18:07.840 you've got,

00:18:08.700 Trump is in a perfect situation.

00:18:11.200 One of his greatest weaknesses,

00:18:13.640 he's doing the opposite of it

00:18:15.400 in public every single day,

00:18:17.640 listening to experts.

00:18:18.980 What do the experts say?

00:18:19.900 Listen to the experts,

00:18:20.820 experts,

00:18:21.240 experts,

00:18:21.620 experts.

00:18:22.320 So,

00:18:23.000 the Democrats are not going to have much

00:18:24.740 to lean on.

00:18:26.140 Oh yeah,

00:18:26.720 they'll have this.

00:18:27.740 The Democrats are going to say,

00:18:30.880 sure,

00:18:31.900 he did listen to the experts

00:18:33.340 that one time,

00:18:34.660 but he's not listening

00:18:35.640 to the climate model experts.

00:18:37.820 What about that?

00:18:39.220 To which I say,

00:18:40.960 with their long-range prediction models,

00:18:44.880 are you saying

00:18:46.300 he should listen to them more

00:18:47.460 because their long-range prediction models

00:18:50.120 are so reliable?

00:18:52.580 So,

00:18:52.980 even climate change

00:18:54.160 has largely been taken off the table.

00:18:56.800 number one,

00:18:58.160 because the price of carbon fuel

00:18:59.600 just dropped to

00:19:00.600 a point where

00:19:02.100 I don't know

00:19:02.880 what would be compatible with it.

00:19:04.960 Is there anything compatible

00:19:06.300 price-wise

00:19:07.780 with $20 a gallon

00:19:10.100 gas or whatever,

00:19:12.420 oil or whatever it is?

00:19:14.040 So,

00:19:14.360 I guess they came to a new deal,

00:19:15.640 so prices might go up a little bit,

00:19:17.060 but still,

00:19:17.960 still,

00:19:19.520 prices are going to be better.

00:19:21.100 All right.

00:19:22.260 So,

00:19:22.980 if they can't,

00:19:23.920 if they can't go after Trump

00:19:25.480 for listening,

00:19:26.800 to experts,

00:19:28.500 and they can't really blame him

00:19:30.040 for not putting too much credibility

00:19:31.820 in a long-term prediction model,

00:19:34.020 because we just watched one

00:19:35.320 that people weren't too happy with,

00:19:37.220 even though I think it was good.

00:19:38.440 Other people don't.

00:19:40.820 But here's the other thing

00:19:41.880 he's doing this clever,

00:19:42.960 politically,

00:19:43.640 is that you don't know

00:19:45.040 which way he's going to go

00:19:46.140 in terms of his ultimate recommendation.

00:19:49.680 Have you noticed

00:19:50.520 that Democrats

00:19:51.080 Democrats are really,

00:19:52.400 really quiet

00:19:53.700 about what they would do?

00:19:57.760 Listen to this dog

00:19:59.360 that's not barking.

00:20:01.100 Hello.

00:20:02.080 Hello, dog

00:20:02.960 that's not barking.

00:20:04.200 There are a lot

00:20:05.460 of Democrat pundits.

00:20:07.280 There are a lot

00:20:08.280 of Democrat politicians.

00:20:10.360 I've never seen them

00:20:11.520 be shy before

00:20:12.940 about what they would recommend

00:20:14.880 if they were president.

00:20:16.160 I can think of

00:20:17.960 almost every other topic.

00:20:19.940 You could ask any pundit,

00:20:21.400 you could ask any politician

00:20:22.760 that's a Democrat,

00:20:24.080 and say,

00:20:24.500 what would you do

00:20:25.220 in this situation

00:20:25.980 that's different

00:20:26.700 from what President Trump would do?

00:20:28.160 And they'll say,

00:20:28.580 well, let me tell you,

00:20:30.660 if I were president,

00:20:32.120 I would do X and Y and Z,

00:20:34.400 and the president's doing

00:20:35.540 A and B and Z,

00:20:36.620 and that's all wrong,

00:20:37.620 obviously.

00:20:39.020 But what the president

00:20:40.120 is doing

00:20:40.800 by waiting

00:20:42.140 and holding his decision,

00:20:44.060 and you don't know,

00:20:44.860 you really don't know

00:20:45.880 what it's going to be.

00:20:47.460 Is it some people

00:20:48.900 going to work on May 1st?

00:20:50.540 Is it wait

00:20:51.040 until the middle of June?

00:20:52.080 You really don't know.

00:20:53.540 So all of the Democrats

00:20:55.040 can't describe

00:20:56.900 what they would do.

00:20:58.840 You know why?

00:21:00.520 Because if they accidentally say,

00:21:02.460 here's what I would do,

00:21:04.180 and the president

00:21:04.860 comes down

00:21:05.460 in the same place

00:21:07.060 and says,

00:21:07.740 here's what I would do,

00:21:08.780 and it turns out

00:21:09.300 to be exactly

00:21:09.840 what the Democrats

00:21:10.540 said one should do,

00:21:13.220 they got nothing.

00:21:14.860 So they have to

00:21:16.420 stay silent

00:21:17.220 on what they would do

00:21:18.900 until he goes first

00:21:20.640 so they can be

00:21:21.740 on the other side.

00:21:22.960 You see that, right?

00:21:24.580 Just watch

00:21:25.520 for how no Democrat

00:21:26.980 will give you an opinion.

00:21:28.800 You will not see

00:21:30.000 one peep

00:21:31.320 from Nancy Pelosi

00:21:32.840 or Chuck Schumer

00:21:34.220 about specifically

00:21:35.200 what they do.

00:21:35.880 They'll complain

00:21:36.980 about process

00:21:37.920 and, you know,

00:21:39.160 who talked to who

00:21:40.180 and what was the timing

00:21:41.260 of things

00:21:41.940 and should have

00:21:42.980 done it sooner.

00:21:45.440 But what you're

00:21:46.280 not going to see

00:21:47.040 is their recommendations.

00:21:49.840 You're not going

00:21:50.380 to see that.

00:21:51.520 Somebody says,

00:21:52.280 wow, my mind

00:21:52.840 just got blown

00:21:53.500 because you just realized

00:21:55.560 that it's not there,

00:21:57.680 right?

00:21:58.000 You didn't notice

00:21:58.920 that it was missing

00:21:59.900 until I pointed it out

00:22:01.120 and then you're like,

00:22:02.120 oh yeah,

00:22:03.100 why is this the only

00:22:04.160 topic in the world

00:22:05.220 that not a single

00:22:06.700 Democrat

00:22:07.140 has voiced

00:22:08.500 a specific opinion on?

00:22:09.780 Here's what I would do.

00:22:11.520 I'd do it May 1st.

00:22:12.740 I'd do it this way.

00:22:14.720 Not going to see it.

00:22:18.840 So,

00:22:19.480 I've never seen

00:22:20.600 any president

00:22:22.440 running for re-election

00:22:23.860 who had such

00:22:25.160 a commanding

00:22:26.080 position.

00:22:27.900 I mean,

00:22:28.120 you could say Reagan.

00:22:29.900 You could say Reagan.

00:22:32.100 But,

00:22:32.720 I mean,

00:22:33.060 this looks like

00:22:33.660 even more commanding

00:22:34.780 because at least

00:22:35.620 Reagan was,

00:22:36.860 Reagan ran against

00:22:37.640 an opponent

00:22:38.120 who feasibly

00:22:39.080 could have done

00:22:39.620 the job.

00:22:40.840 You know,

00:22:41.040 maybe he didn't

00:22:41.500 like his policies,

00:22:42.460 but he could have

00:22:42.880 done the job.

00:22:44.280 You know,

00:22:44.560 Mondale.

00:22:46.060 But Biden doesn't

00:22:46.980 even look like

00:22:47.660 he could do the job.

00:22:49.220 So,

00:22:49.500 here's the funniest thing.

00:22:50.580 Oh,

00:22:50.860 you have to do this.

00:22:52.300 Wait,

00:22:52.800 maybe I'll do it.

00:22:55.280 If you didn't

00:22:56.300 watch the live stream,

00:22:58.320 or even if you did,

00:22:59.260 you may not have

00:22:59.920 watched it this way.

00:23:02.440 So,

00:23:02.900 if you watched

00:23:03.380 the live stream

00:23:04.180 of Biden

00:23:05.300 talking to Bernie,

00:23:06.260 there were lots

00:23:07.320 of comments

00:23:07.920 that were happening.

00:23:09.760 And if I could

00:23:10.400 find it,

00:23:11.140 I'm going to

00:23:11.520 turn off the sound,

00:23:13.620 and I just want

00:23:14.240 to read,

00:23:14.780 I'm just going to

00:23:16.540 read the comments.

00:23:18.420 All right,

00:23:18.620 now keep in mind

00:23:19.360 that this is a,

00:23:21.560 it's a Biden event,

00:23:24.080 and so you expect

00:23:24.980 that most people,

00:23:26.100 you know,

00:23:26.320 there'll be trolls,

00:23:27.400 of course.

00:23:28.220 Of course,

00:23:28.700 there are going

00:23:28.900 to be trolls.

00:23:30.900 But here are what

00:23:31.660 the Democrats are saying.

00:23:33.280 We're effed.

00:23:34.080 Only way Biden

00:23:36.460 will ever win.

00:23:37.560 Wake up.

00:23:39.240 Fool,

00:23:39.460 fool,

00:23:39.620 fool,

00:23:39.760 fool,

00:23:39.980 fool.

00:23:40.440 Only way to beat

00:23:41.320 Trump is Bernie

00:23:42.120 for VP.

00:23:43.460 Answer the question.

00:23:45.380 Biden is just

00:23:46.340 as secretly corrupt

00:23:47.340 as Obama.

00:23:48.820 All right,

00:23:49.100 now keep in mind,

00:23:50.660 I'm not skipping

00:23:51.720 any compliments.

00:23:53.560 So I'm not

00:23:54.480 selectively picking

00:23:55.480 the most insulting

00:23:56.460 ones.

00:23:57.360 There are no

00:23:58.460 supporters of Biden

00:23:59.740 on the Biden

00:24:01.480 live stream.

00:24:02.300 Look for yourself.

00:24:04.820 I know you don't

00:24:05.420 believe it.

00:24:06.240 I know you don't

00:24:06.780 believe it.

00:24:07.620 Look for yourself.

00:24:09.140 You have to do this.

00:24:10.880 Go find the video.

00:24:12.660 And so this is what,

00:24:13.760 if you hold it

00:24:14.480 in this orientation,

00:24:16.120 if you hold it this way,

00:24:16.960 I think the comments

00:24:17.740 go away. 0.82

00:24:18.680 But if you turn it

00:24:19.300 this way,

00:24:20.340 the comments

00:24:21.220 will stream by.

00:24:22.380 I'll just read

00:24:22.860 some more.

00:24:24.020 How do I govern?

00:24:25.680 Biden or Trump?

00:24:26.760 Pick one.

00:24:28.740 Screw this.

00:24:29.580 I'm out.

00:24:29.960 Biden is reading

00:24:32.260 well today.

00:24:34.100 Didn't Biden say

00:24:35.180 he wouldn't change

00:24:35.860 anything?

00:24:37.180 This is bogus.

00:24:41.920 Joe Biden

00:24:42.780 can't form a sentence.

00:24:45.700 Oh my God.

00:24:49.180 Bernie VP

00:24:50.080 or Nina Turner 0.74

00:24:51.120 out of that.

00:24:52.580 Surprised

00:24:53.100 Biden is

00:24:53.840 communicating

00:24:54.780 clearly.

00:24:56.020 This is a trade

00:24:56.820 wreck.

00:24:57.540 Trump is guaranteed

00:24:58.320 to win.

00:24:59.040 Never voting

00:24:59.740 for Biden.

00:25:00.540 Never again.

00:25:01.380 I swear.

00:25:02.380 I swear, folks.

00:25:03.820 I'm not

00:25:04.540 skipping any

00:25:05.740 good ones.

00:25:07.040 I'm not.

00:25:07.880 I know you don't

00:25:08.540 believe me.

00:25:09.580 I know you don't

00:25:10.260 believe me.

00:25:10.840 But you have to

00:25:11.340 go look yourself. 0.62

00:25:13.300 At a Biden event,

00:25:14.740 one of the most

00:25:15.340 important events

00:25:16.240 of the campaign

00:25:16.980 season,

00:25:17.940 he couldn't find

00:25:19.000 anybody who would

00:25:20.180 come to his live

00:25:20.920 stream and say

00:25:21.540 good things about him.

00:25:22.360 None.

00:25:23.520 None.

00:25:25.160 Did anybody say

00:25:25.900 anything good

00:25:26.380 about Bernie?

00:25:27.960 Yeah.

00:25:29.280 Now they're

00:25:29.620 mad at him

00:25:30.180 for doing this.

00:25:34.960 The closest

00:25:35.960 one that's good

00:25:36.620 is divided

00:25:37.740 we fall,

00:25:38.600 together we

00:25:39.080 are stronger.

00:25:39.840 That's obviously

00:25:40.500 a Democrat.

00:25:41.680 But notice

00:25:42.340 that that's

00:25:42.840 really about

00:25:43.600 Bernie helping

00:25:45.240 Biden.

00:25:46.600 So all she's,

00:25:47.560 the only thing

00:25:48.100 she's complimenting

00:25:49.120 is that Bernie

00:25:50.460 is going to

00:25:50.820 help Biden.

00:25:52.000 Not that Biden's

00:25:52.640 good, but that

00:25:53.520 they're working

00:25:53.920 together.

00:25:54.720 So even the

00:25:55.400 best thing

00:25:56.640 they could

00:25:56.980 come up with

00:25:57.780 is not so

00:25:59.580 good.

00:26:00.240 It's not so

00:26:00.820 good.

00:26:01.300 Anyway, that's

00:26:01.880 just

00:26:02.340 screamingly

00:26:04.420 hilarious.

00:26:07.540 So Steve

00:26:08.480 Bannon's

00:26:09.060 podcast,

00:26:11.160 Bannon's

00:26:12.020 War Room,

00:26:12.620 Pandemic,

00:26:13.760 or is it

00:26:14.300 Pandemic,

00:26:15.540 Bannon's

00:26:15.940 War Room?

00:26:16.440 It's one of

00:26:16.820 those.

00:26:17.300 But Pandemic

00:26:17.860 I think is the

00:26:18.700 title.

00:26:19.780 So I had

00:26:20.440 never listened

00:26:21.800 to it.

00:26:22.960 But today,

00:26:24.360 I guess they

00:26:25.280 got booted

00:26:25.780 off of

00:26:26.120 Twitter.

00:26:27.860 And if

00:26:29.240 somebody gets

00:26:29.920 booted off

00:26:30.460 of Twitter,

00:26:31.680 well, I'm

00:26:32.120 going to go

00:26:32.420 listen to

00:26:32.840 that.

00:26:34.660 You know,

00:26:35.080 I don't

00:26:35.620 listen to a

00:26:36.140 lot of

00:26:36.340 podcasts.

00:26:37.220 I'd heard

00:26:37.660 good things

00:26:38.120 about it.

00:26:39.080 But I

00:26:39.420 never, you

00:26:40.180 know, hadn't

00:26:40.440 been really

00:26:40.900 incentivized to

00:26:42.640 go get it

00:26:43.340 and spend

00:26:44.100 time listening

00:26:44.600 to it.

00:26:45.120 But as

00:26:45.420 soon as I

00:26:45.780 heard he

00:26:46.000 got booted

00:26:46.480 off of

00:26:46.980 Twitter, I

00:26:48.120 thought, well,

00:26:49.140 he's got

00:26:49.460 something to

00:26:49.960 say.

00:26:50.980 Let's go

00:26:51.340 see what

00:26:51.720 that's all

00:26:52.140 about.

00:26:53.040 So I

00:26:53.880 don't think

00:26:54.300 they even

00:26:54.740 know exactly

00:26:55.580 why they

00:26:56.040 got booted

00:26:56.580 off.

00:26:56.940 But the

00:26:57.340 proximate

00:26:58.700 cause, the

00:26:59.600 one that

00:27:00.100 seems obvious,

00:27:01.080 is that they

00:27:01.820 had some

00:27:02.140 episodes about

00:27:03.380 China.

00:27:04.520 And they

00:27:04.820 talked about

00:27:05.640 organ harvesting

00:27:08.980 and Uyghurs 1.00

00:27:10.120 and whatever

00:27:10.560 else.

00:27:11.300 And so I

00:27:12.620 guess that was

00:27:13.580 good enough to

00:27:14.100 get kicked

00:27:14.480 off of

00:27:14.880 Twitter.

00:27:15.340 I don't

00:27:15.660 think that

00:27:16.280 it didn't

00:27:18.080 sound like

00:27:18.560 it's temporary.

00:27:19.220 I think

00:27:20.480 they're just

00:27:20.880 kicked off.

00:27:22.380 So I

00:27:22.800 tweeted the

00:27:23.860 link to

00:27:24.760 it and

00:27:25.380 listened to

00:27:26.460 today's

00:27:27.520 episode.

00:27:28.440 It was

00:27:28.680 really good.

00:27:30.460 It's

00:27:30.680 actually like

00:27:32.520 a well-made

00:27:33.100 show.

00:27:33.600 I didn't

00:27:34.140 know what

00:27:35.900 to expect,

00:27:36.600 but it

00:27:37.320 held my

00:27:37.740 interest all

00:27:38.360 the way

00:27:38.620 through.

00:27:39.120 It was

00:27:39.320 a high

00:27:40.260 entertainment

00:27:41.820 to time

00:27:42.600 ratio.

00:27:43.320 So it was

00:27:43.520 quite good.

00:27:44.220 So I

00:27:44.500 recommend it.

00:27:45.220 You just

00:27:45.500 can't find

00:27:46.200 the links

00:27:46.560 on Twitter,

00:27:47.400 but you

00:27:47.720 can see a

00:27:48.140 link to

00:27:48.520 it on

00:27:49.420 my Twitter

00:27:49.860 feed if

00:27:50.260 you're

00:27:50.400 looking for

00:27:50.760 it,

00:27:50.880 or just

00:27:51.180 Google it,

00:27:51.980 go to the

00:27:52.280 webpage.

00:27:54.420 So here's

00:27:55.060 something that

00:27:55.460 will really

00:27:55.820 mess with

00:27:56.600 your mind.

00:27:57.860 I don't

00:27:58.480 know if

00:27:58.840 this is

00:27:59.220 true.

00:28:00.420 So it's

00:28:00.800 been reported,

00:28:02.800 but keep

00:28:03.840 a little

00:28:04.660 skepticism,

00:28:05.580 hold back a

00:28:06.320 little skepticism

00:28:07.080 on this one,

00:28:08.500 but it's so

00:28:09.440 delicious if

00:28:10.340 it's true that

00:28:12.020 I have to

00:28:12.380 tell you about

00:28:12.900 it, even

00:28:13.320 though I

00:28:13.600 don't fully

00:28:14.200 trust it.

00:28:14.740 And there's

00:28:16.000 an official

00:28:16.400 French report,

00:28:18.380 they did some

00:28:19.020 study, and

00:28:20.380 they found out

00:28:20.980 that in

00:28:21.320 several countries

00:28:22.120 there's a

00:28:22.760 very strong

00:28:23.360 correlation between

00:28:25.140 cigarette smoking

00:28:26.200 and your

00:28:27.560 outcomes with

00:28:28.400 coronavirus.

00:28:29.840 It turns out

00:28:30.840 that being a

00:28:31.420 lifetime cigarette

00:28:33.240 smoker protects

00:28:34.980 you from

00:28:35.740 coronavirus.

00:28:39.060 Protects you

00:28:40.100 from coronavirus.

00:28:42.780 And here's the

00:28:43.720 fun part.

00:28:44.740 not just a

00:28:45.880 little bit.

00:28:48.100 Not just a

00:28:49.080 little.

00:28:49.760 Apparently it's a

00:28:50.620 gigantic difference.

00:28:53.120 Now remember,

00:28:54.120 have you noticed

00:28:54.840 that when the

00:28:55.860 doctors are talking

00:28:56.660 about comorbidity,

00:28:58.680 correct me if I'm

00:29:00.660 wrong, but when

00:29:01.980 they were originally

00:29:02.800 talking about

00:29:03.540 comorbidity, and

00:29:05.940 here's another dog

00:29:07.000 that's not barking,

00:29:07.860 so you have to

00:29:08.440 fact check me on

00:29:09.320 this, right?

00:29:10.040 So just use your

00:29:10.880 memory and see if

00:29:12.400 this is true.

00:29:13.060 A month ago,

00:29:16.020 when doctors

00:29:16.820 talked about

00:29:17.440 comorbidity, the

00:29:18.540 other health

00:29:19.260 factors that might

00:29:20.040 kill you if you 0.79

00:29:20.640 got coronavirus,

00:29:22.420 correct me if I'm

00:29:23.180 wrong, tobacco

00:29:24.620 was prominently on

00:29:26.300 the list.

00:29:27.420 Smoking, tobacco.

00:29:28.920 It was in the top

00:29:29.980 four or top five,

00:29:32.480 I think.

00:29:33.940 Now, listen to a

00:29:35.680 doctor today or

00:29:37.880 yesterday when

00:29:39.220 they list their

00:29:41.340 list of

00:29:42.580 comorbidities.

00:29:44.880 Smoking isn't on

00:29:45.860 the list anymore.

00:29:47.460 It just sort of

00:29:48.560 dropped off the

00:29:49.720 list.

00:29:50.600 Now, I don't know

00:29:51.280 if the people who

00:29:52.080 forgot to include

00:29:54.100 it on the list

00:29:54.840 just forgot about

00:29:56.340 it, and it's a

00:29:56.880 coincidence.

00:29:58.060 Maybe they think

00:30:00.660 it's covered with

00:30:01.380 hypertension or

00:30:02.440 something else.

00:30:03.700 But, am I

00:30:09.460 wrong?

00:30:10.540 Listen to the

00:30:11.240 doctors when they

00:30:11.940 talk about the

00:30:12.720 other health

00:30:13.900 conditions, and I

00:30:14.860 think they just

00:30:15.660 stopped saying

00:30:16.460 tobacco.

00:30:18.280 It could be just a

00:30:19.080 wait and see.

00:30:20.260 Now, the other

00:30:20.940 thing that was

00:30:21.360 interesting about it

00:30:22.120 is that people who

00:30:23.640 used to smoke and

00:30:25.500 quit still got quite

00:30:27.780 a bit of protection

00:30:28.560 compared to someone

00:30:29.680 who'd never smoked.

00:30:30.440 So, the worst

00:30:32.520 thing that you

00:30:33.280 could do is

00:30:33.840 never smoke

00:30:34.420 cigarettes.

00:30:37.800 Now, I heard

00:30:38.660 somebody in the

00:30:39.820 comments speculating

00:30:40.820 that there was, I

00:30:41.960 guess, if you know

00:30:42.660 things about ACE2

00:30:44.580 receptors, which I

00:30:46.860 don't, but if you're

00:30:48.380 smart enough to talk

00:30:49.320 in those terms, you

00:30:50.460 say stuff like, well,

00:30:51.860 it makes perfect

00:30:52.440 sense because the

00:30:53.440 tobacco sort of, you

00:30:55.780 know, impinges on

00:30:56.780 those receptors, you

00:30:58.160 know, it degrades

00:30:58.780 them, and those 0.85

00:31:00.000 receptors are needed

00:31:01.120 to pick up the

00:31:02.000 virus, so it

00:31:03.560 actually makes

00:31:04.080 sense.

00:31:04.940 Smoking will

00:31:05.600 degrade the very

00:31:06.520 receptors that are

00:31:07.420 necessary for the

00:31:08.260 virus.

00:31:09.220 So, somebody says

00:31:11.780 the new medication

00:31:13.880 might be hydroxychloroquine

00:31:16.120 and tobacco plus

00:31:17.240 azithromycin and zinc,

00:31:20.320 I guess.

00:31:21.260 So, no word on

00:31:22.460 marijuana smoke, but

00:31:23.600 I'm not going to

00:31:24.400 take any chance.

00:31:26.380 I'm going to smoke

00:31:27.300 as much marijuana

00:31:28.580 as I can, just in

00:31:32.140 case.

00:31:33.620 You know, don't

00:31:35.360 take any medical

00:31:36.120 advice from me.

00:31:37.760 No more true

00:31:39.860 words have ever

00:31:40.960 been spoken.

00:31:42.060 I'm just saying

00:31:43.140 that marijuana is

00:31:44.640 approved medical,

00:31:47.560 it's approved

00:31:48.360 medication for a

00:31:50.480 variety of

00:31:51.180 conditions, and if

00:31:52.980 you wanted to use

00:31:53.720 it off-label and

00:31:55.140 smoke like crazy to

00:31:56.220 protect yourself from

00:31:57.160 the coronavirus, I

00:31:58.760 would say that

00:31:59.280 you're on very

00:32:00.160 shaky ground.

00:32:02.580 Because, first of

00:32:03.440 all, I don't think

00:32:04.000 marijuana smoke

00:32:04.680 affects your lungs

00:32:05.500 the way tobacco

00:32:06.440 smoke does.

00:32:07.320 So, let me be

00:32:08.120 serious for a

00:32:08.840 moment.

00:32:09.880 I would not

00:32:10.880 expect, I would

00:32:12.580 not expect that

00:32:14.340 even if it's true

00:32:15.480 that regular tobacco

00:32:17.400 smoke protects your

00:32:18.540 lungs from

00:32:19.060 coronavirus, and I'm

00:32:21.140 skeptical of that.

00:32:21.940 But even if that's

00:32:22.800 true, it does not

00:32:24.320 follow that marijuana

00:32:25.080 smoke would do it,

00:32:26.240 because they do

00:32:27.060 really act very

00:32:27.960 differently.

00:32:28.780 For example, you

00:32:30.060 don't get lung

00:32:32.080 cancer from

00:32:32.640 marijuana smoke, so

00:32:33.580 some of you are

00:32:35.500 going to argue

00:32:36.040 with that, but you

00:32:36.880 can go argue with

00:32:37.660 the data.

00:32:38.680 All right, here's

00:32:41.120 something interesting.

00:32:42.700 You know, I talked

00:32:43.160 the other day about

00:32:43.800 that movie that was

00:32:45.760 claiming that the

00:32:46.900 CIA was, you know,

00:32:49.340 controlling the

00:32:50.620 Hollywood movie

00:32:52.440 stuff and causing

00:32:54.840 them to message

00:32:55.840 things to the

00:32:56.500 public to

00:32:56.960 brainwash us.

00:32:58.080 I'm going to make

00:32:58.680 a general statement.

00:33:00.400 Here's a general

00:33:01.300 statement.

00:33:01.960 In the long run,

00:33:03.400 in the long run,

00:33:06.140 all social media

00:33:07.860 platforms and all

00:33:10.300 news platforms will

00:33:13.380 come to be owned by

00:33:14.580 intelligence services

00:33:15.900 in the long run.

00:33:18.460 Now, that doesn't

00:33:19.140 mean it's already

00:33:19.660 happened, but it's

00:33:21.840 obvious that there's

00:33:22.900 some influence now,

00:33:24.000 but if you wait

00:33:25.080 long enough, it's

00:33:26.280 the nature of the

00:33:27.140 intelligence services

00:33:28.140 that they know how

00:33:29.560 to sort of burrow in.

00:33:31.520 You know, they get a

00:33:31.980 little foothold, and

00:33:33.680 then they get another,

00:33:35.980 and then they get

00:33:36.600 another.

00:33:37.560 So, based on

00:33:39.780 everything I know

00:33:40.440 about the world, if

00:33:42.820 you wait long enough,

00:33:44.460 every social media

00:33:45.960 platform, every app

00:33:47.800 that has any impact

00:33:50.220 on anything, and

00:33:51.700 every news source

00:33:53.300 should eventually

00:33:54.480 come to be owned

00:33:55.700 by intelligence

00:33:57.480 sources.

00:33:58.520 Now, it could be

00:33:58.960 ours, and it could

00:34:00.200 be another country, 0.94

00:34:01.120 but I don't know

00:34:01.940 that there's an

00:34:02.500 exception, because

00:34:03.300 it's too tempting,

00:34:05.360 and the stakes are

00:34:07.440 too high.

00:34:07.940 So, of course they

00:34:09.000 would.

00:34:09.560 Of course they

00:34:10.260 would try.

00:34:11.460 So, that's just a

00:34:12.680 general statement.

00:34:15.080 I don't know if

00:34:15.820 this is true,

00:34:16.360 either.

00:34:16.700 I can't believe

00:34:17.100 anything anymore,

00:34:17.740 but apparently Adam

00:34:18.660 Schiff allegedly

00:34:19.980 announced that he

00:34:21.800 wanted to hold the

00:34:22.460 Intelligence Committee

00:34:23.320 meetings by Zoom.

00:34:26.860 Zoom is the

00:34:28.080 video conferencing

00:34:29.660 software that has

00:34:30.860 its servers in

00:34:31.700 China.

00:34:32.820 Now, I think they're

00:34:33.500 trying to fix that,

00:34:34.920 but at the moment,

00:34:36.380 Zoom is literally

00:34:37.200 famous for being the

00:34:39.080 least secure

00:34:40.840 platform in the

00:34:42.300 world, if you're

00:34:42.980 trying to be secure

00:34:43.740 from China

00:34:44.300 specifically.

00:34:45.480 It would be the

00:34:46.420 least secure thing

00:34:47.380 you could possibly

00:34:48.180 do, and Adam

00:34:49.460 Schiff is going to

00:34:50.040 use this for the

00:34:50.740 Intelligence Committee.

00:34:52.500 Now, if tomorrow I

00:34:54.960 find out that was

00:34:55.700 fake news, don't say

00:34:57.740 I didn't suspect it,

00:34:59.060 okay?

00:34:59.420 Because it's, you

00:35:00.560 know, this story is a

00:35:01.340 little on the nose.

00:35:02.640 I've used that

00:35:03.400 example before.

00:35:04.700 When a story seems a

00:35:06.760 little too perfect,

00:35:09.340 you wait a day and

00:35:10.280 it turns out it didn't

00:35:11.020 happen, it's fake news,

00:35:12.440 I'm going to say this

00:35:13.320 was a little too on

00:35:14.280 the nose.

00:35:14.720 It could be that

00:35:17.420 Schiff says we'll

00:35:18.500 use teleconferencing,

00:35:20.220 and then maybe

00:35:21.320 somebody added the

00:35:22.400 Zoom part because

00:35:23.060 they thought it was

00:35:23.520 funny.

00:35:24.080 So you can find out

00:35:25.140 that that's not true

00:35:25.960 by tomorrow, I would

00:35:26.880 guess.

00:35:28.820 So India has an app

00:35:31.260 for tracking their

00:35:32.640 population and

00:35:33.700 contact tracing.

00:35:35.360 I don't know the

00:35:35.940 details, but we

00:35:37.600 shall know if India

00:35:39.860 has any success with

00:35:40.880 that because they

00:35:42.100 have one, and they're

00:35:43.240 going to use it, and

00:35:45.160 I think that was

00:35:49.040 the main stuff I

00:35:50.140 wanted to talk

00:35:50.760 about, but there's

00:35:54.760 one other thing I

00:35:55.500 need to do, and

00:35:57.740 maybe if you have

00:35:58.580 any questions, you

00:35:59.840 can ask them in the

00:36:00.640 comments, but I've

00:36:05.800 got to give myself

00:36:06.360 a haircut.

00:36:06.720 Now, this is

00:36:10.240 normally Christina's

00:36:11.460 job, but we're in

00:36:12.880 social isolation, so I

00:36:16.200 can't go to the

00:36:17.100 barbershop, and

00:36:18.400 Christina can't do

00:36:19.260 it, so I have to cut

00:36:21.180 my own hair.

00:36:22.520 So, if you don't

00:36:23.380 mind.

00:36:25.080 Do you have any

00:36:25.800 questions?

00:36:31.680 Ah, that feels

00:36:34.660 good.

00:36:35.800 Slide over to

00:36:36.640 Dr. Shiva's scope.

00:36:42.820 That's the

00:36:43.500 business.

00:36:44.380 That's some good

00:36:45.240 stuff right there.

00:36:48.000 What do you think

00:36:48.780 of the governor of

00:36:49.680 Michigan?

00:36:50.300 Oh, I don't

00:36:50.880 know.

00:36:51.100 I don't really

00:36:54.260 know too much

00:36:55.360 about the

00:36:55.680 governors.

00:36:56.360 It does seem

00:36:56.940 interesting that

00:36:57.840 President Trump is

00:36:58.800 having this love

00:36:59.780 fest with all the

00:37:00.720 governors.

00:37:02.580 Whoever thought that

00:37:03.520 would happen, but I

00:37:04.800 think he's playing it

00:37:05.560 perfectly.

00:37:07.600 Do you think there

00:37:08.140 will be a vaccine?

00:37:09.180 I do not.

00:37:10.200 I don't think there

00:37:10.860 will be a vaccine

00:37:11.700 now or ever.

00:37:15.340 There might be a

00:37:15.920 vaccine that they 0.51

00:37:16.660 call it a vaccine,

00:37:17.840 and it might work

00:37:20.040 for some people,

00:37:20.720 some of the

00:37:21.140 time, but at

00:37:22.460 this point, I

00:37:23.080 would not bet

00:37:23.900 on it.

00:37:27.420 By the way, I'm

00:37:28.240 using you as a

00:37:28.940 mirror because I'm

00:37:29.740 watching myself

00:37:30.540 here.

00:37:37.960 I've been

00:37:38.500 blocking people

00:37:40.120 like crazy

00:37:41.360 because a lot

00:37:47.300 of people are

00:37:47.740 coming after me

00:37:48.480 the last couple

00:37:49.000 of days.

00:37:49.340 so it's been

00:37:50.660 quite a

00:37:51.020 block-a-thon.

00:37:53.900 What did I

00:37:54.440 think of Trump's

00:37:55.080 press conference?

00:37:56.780 I thought it

00:37:57.480 was one of his

00:37:57.980 best.

00:38:00.000 I like how he

00:38:01.200 co-opted it to

00:38:02.060 turn it into

00:38:02.580 basically a

00:38:03.260 campaign ad

00:38:03.920 showing his

00:38:04.860 campaign commercial.

00:38:06.720 That was

00:38:06.980 pretty funny.

00:38:08.040 I think Fauci did

00:38:13.100 him a solid by

00:38:13.980 volunteering to

00:38:15.360 get up there

00:38:15.860 and to

00:38:16.280 clarify that

00:38:17.320 Trump always

00:38:18.540 did what

00:38:19.000 Fauci asked

00:38:19.780 him to do.

00:38:20.200 could end when he

00:38:28.320 says, okay.

00:38:31.220 So starting

00:38:32.280 around the end

00:38:34.180 of April or

00:38:35.080 May 2nd or

00:38:36.840 so, you're

00:38:38.940 going to see

00:38:39.320 all the characters

00:38:40.240 in the Dilber

00:38:40.980 comic wearing

00:38:41.780 face masks or

00:38:43.900 working from

00:38:44.540 home.

00:38:44.920 so the

00:38:46.040 Dilber

00:38:46.320 comic is

00:38:47.300 going to go

00:38:47.900 the way of

00:38:48.740 the rest of

00:38:53.280 the world and

00:38:54.080 the characters

00:38:54.680 will be wearing

00:38:55.280 masks for a

00:38:56.100 while.

00:38:56.940 Except I have

00:38:57.780 to predict

00:38:58.280 when they'll

00:38:59.620 stop wearing

00:39:00.220 masks and I

00:39:01.360 don't know

00:39:01.600 when that's

00:39:01.960 going to be.

00:39:02.320 Do I have

00:39:06.100 to do the

00:39:06.400 other side?

00:39:14.580 It does look

00:39:15.420 the hat.

00:39:16.960 The hatch

00:39:18.140 act.

00:39:20.140 You should

00:39:20.740 block yourself.

00:39:25.540 All right.

00:39:27.060 Well, you

00:39:27.640 don't have to

00:39:28.060 watch the rest

00:39:29.140 of this.

00:39:32.320 Somebody says

00:39:33.340 they're stoned

00:39:33.900 and eating a

00:39:34.500 Big Mac.

00:39:35.780 Well, good

00:39:36.200 for you.

00:39:41.360 Oil your

00:39:42.040 clippers after

00:39:42.680 use.

00:39:44.860 Good idea.

00:39:48.740 All right.

00:39:49.320 That's all I

00:39:49.680 got for now.

00:39:50.320 And I will

00:39:50.780 see you all

00:39:51.340 in the morning.

00:39:52.940 And tonight

00:39:55.740 you're going

00:39:56.560 to have the

00:39:56.920 best night

00:39:58.240 of sleep.

00:40:00.060 So just

00:40:01.460 think about

00:40:02.240 here's your

00:40:03.320 assignment.

00:40:04.680 If you're

00:40:05.240 trying to get

00:40:05.720 to sleep

00:40:06.140 and you

00:40:06.400 have thoughts,

00:40:08.540 I want you

00:40:09.180 to imagine

00:40:09.620 getting your

00:40:10.140 hair cut.

00:40:11.340 Or if you're

00:40:12.220 a woman,

00:40:12.680 imagine having

00:40:13.900 your hair

00:40:14.280 done.

00:40:15.260 So as a

00:40:16.540 thought to

00:40:17.840 relax you,

00:40:19.460 just picture

00:40:20.540 yourself getting

00:40:21.420 your hair cut,

00:40:22.120 how it feels,

00:40:23.060 the sound of

00:40:23.560 the clippers,

00:40:24.780 the smells,

00:40:26.120 the whole

00:40:26.640 experience.

00:40:27.280 And just put

00:40:27.700 yourself in

00:40:28.140 that scene

00:40:28.640 because it's

00:40:29.880 sort of a

00:40:30.340 relaxing situation.

00:40:31.360 it's sort of

00:40:35.080 a relaxing

00:40:35.500 situation because

00:40:36.300 someone else is

00:40:36.860 doing the work.

00:40:37.920 So try that.

00:40:39.200 It would be

00:40:39.660 good diversion.

00:40:42.680 All right.

00:40:43.420 That's all for now.

00:40:44.260 I will talk to you

00:40:44.860 in the morning.

00:40:45.200 I will talk to you

00:40:58.860 in the morning.
