Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum hey everybody
00:00:09.680
you hear the siren call it sounds like this bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum yes it's time
00:00:19.100
for coffee with Scott Adams and the simultaneous sip world famous really it's going to be the
00:00:24.600
best coffee with Scott Adams all day until possibly later and we got lots of stuff to talk about
00:00:31.640
today and in order to enjoy it to its maximum all you need is a cuppa mug or a glass of tank
00:00:41.960
or chalice or stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite
00:00:47.400
liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine here
00:00:52.920
of the day the thing that makes everything better including the pandemic it's called
00:00:57.920
the simultaneous sip and it happens now go well there's so much silly news today that I almost
00:01:10.680
can't stand it I like the silly news the stuff that really doesn't make any difference at all
00:01:15.240
to anything I'm much less interested in the bad news that really affects people that stuff's
00:01:22.120
just sad but let's start at the top here's a provocative thought for you if the coronavirus
00:01:30.280
only targeted young males would the economy have shut down I say no because I think if the only people
00:01:42.260
who are dying were young males that we would see this like every other war and we'd say well we don't
00:01:50.280
have shut down the economy just because we go to war so it's just a thought I think that biologically
00:01:59.000
society considers young males largely expendable and I actually think that if all of the if all of the
00:02:07.320
risk had just been young males I don't think we would have closed the economy I mean it's just a thought
00:02:15.080
experiment I don't know for sure but I don't think we would have president Trump is making things
00:02:22.920
interesting by tweeting that he was going to do an executive order suspending immigration because of
00:02:29.240
the coronavirus what did people say about that did people say well from the health perspective that's
00:02:37.800
that's a pretty good idea did they say that no no they didn't um did they say you know given
00:02:45.320
unemployment is so high that certainly makes sense did they say that no no no they did not
00:02:51.640
nope they called him a racist um jennifer rubin always always wants to be first to that what did she say
00:03:02.120
she said uh so this is jennifer rubin now i honestly don't know the real story with jennifer rubin
00:03:11.400
you know she calls herself a conservative but she she only uh talks smack about president trump
00:03:18.600
so i don't know what kind of a conservative she is and i don't even know if she believes her own
00:03:25.400
stated opinions and i actually don't know that i mean i actually i don't even have i'm not even
00:03:32.920
leaning one way or the other i can't tell can you do you think that jennifer rubin believes her own
00:03:40.120
opinions the ones that she expresses in public because i really can't tell and i mean that seriously
00:03:46.680
i honestly seriously can't tell if she's being serious or if it's just part of the act part of
00:03:52.200
the show you know she's on a team so she's playing team sport can't tell but let me tell you what she
00:03:59.880
tweeted she talked about president trump saying he was going to stop all immigration during the
00:04:05.240
coronavirus and she said replying to his tweet no doubt trump's base is primarily motivated by racism
00:04:13.560
this is why trump does this every damn time and so i ask you this have you ever met
00:04:25.000
a conservative who thought that race should determine public policy i've never met one
00:04:32.600
now obviously i've met people who are racist and they come in all types you know they're not just white
00:04:38.520
um i don't know if i've met anybody that i wouldn't call a racist on some level you know
00:04:44.040
if you know what i mean you know when you talk to people privately no matter what ethnicity they are
00:04:50.040
they they tend to express preferences you know if you ask anybody of any race are you a racist most
00:04:59.720
people will say no no no i'm not a racist and ask the same person would you do you have any preferences
00:05:06.840
for dating and they'll say oh yeah now often their preferences for dating are not even their own
00:05:15.400
ethnicity ethnicity is quite common for people to say um in fact i know several women who say they would
00:05:22.760
only date black men it's just their preference now is that racist well yeah isn't it if you have if you act in a way that shows
00:05:33.000
preference based on race that's sort of racist so i don't know anybody personally who doesn't make
00:05:40.680
their own personal decisions at least about who they who they uh have um let's say mating preferences for
00:05:49.880
but in terms of anybody who thinks that the world should be organized that way i've literally never met
00:05:56.680
anybody have you i mean this is a serious question i've been you know deeply embedded talking to trump
00:06:03.720
supporters of all types and i gotta tell you people will tell me just about anything privately
00:06:11.080
because i i think people understand i'm not telling people secrets around so people will reveal things
00:06:17.480
to me because i i'm sort of famously non-judgmental i i've had people reveal to me horrible crimes they've
00:06:26.040
committed horrible things they've thought horrible things they've done it all you know just goes in
00:06:31.960
the vault so it's safe to tell me and i don't judge it i just think everybody you know my opinion is if
00:06:38.680
i really knew everybody's internal thoughts they should all be executed you know everybody should
00:06:43.720
have the death sentence for their thoughts but we don't do that there's a good good reason for that
00:06:50.040
so i've just never met anybody a trump supporter
00:06:56.360
well let's just say trump supporter or a conservative i've never met a conservative
00:07:00.680
who thought there should be any kind of laws or public rules or guidelines or anything that was based on ethnicity
00:07:08.840
i've never seen that and but jennifer rubin believes
00:07:15.080
there's no doubt she uses the phrase no doubt trump's base is primarily voted but motivated
00:07:21.960
by racism do you think that's something that somebody could tell from a distance
00:07:27.640
do you think have you met anybody who was primarily motivated by racism i don't even know if anybody is
00:07:35.400
you know certainly not conservatives they're not primarily motivated by racism i've never met that person
00:07:41.640
um so what i tweeted about that is that if you think you can read the minds of 60 million people
00:07:51.960
and you can see in them that they're primarily motivated by anything you know whether it's racism
00:07:58.040
or anything else if you can think that you have no doubt about 60 million people's primary motivation
00:08:06.600
and you're so certain of that that you will tweet it in public you are not operating at a high level
00:08:13.240
of awareness i'm not i won't say intelligence because i don't think it's an iq issue you know
00:08:19.240
there's smart people on every every topic all over the place but clearly there's an awareness problem
00:08:25.800
you know like a an awareness of reality how could you go through life unless she's you know again unless
00:08:32.120
she's just acting you can't rule out the possibility that because i can't read her mind right so i'm
00:08:39.080
trying to be consistent with the fact that we don't know what the strangers are thinking i don't know why
00:08:43.800
she does this it's actually kind of an interesting mystery to me but um anyway that's enough about jennifer
00:08:53.160
so much going on today let's talk about kim jong-un uh i tweeted a little twitter poll today who do you
00:09:03.560
think is more likely to be seen in public this week kim jong-un joe biden or jeffrey epstein
00:09:14.440
it's pretty close call isn't it in the twitter poll i think jeffrey epstein was the winner
00:09:19.640
um but here's my here's my take is it still true that joe biden hasn't been seen since thursday
00:09:32.120
can somebody confirm that because i keep looking i'm checking the headlines and i'm not seeing any
00:09:37.480
links to videos of him we'll talk about kim some more but i think joe biden is done
00:09:45.000
can i can i be the first one to make this prediction in public i don't know that anybody
00:09:51.480
else is making this prediction but my prediction is that at this at this time in the election cycle
00:09:57.960
getting as close as we are to election day i think that not seeing the presumed candidate for the democrats
00:10:08.120
is really telling you pretty directly that he's being replaced so i'm going to make this my prediction
00:10:17.160
that you will not see joe biden again as a candidate the next time you see him if you do will be to
00:10:24.840
announce that he's dropping out pretty bold prediction right but can you think of any other
00:10:31.800
reason that joe biden would simply not be in public because even if he were feeling ill i think they
00:10:38.040
would tell us or somebody said video last night can we can we get a uh a fact check on that
00:10:48.360
somebody says he was interviewed on wdiv detroit yesterday okay so i will keep my i'll keep my
00:10:55.400
prediction alive for the future then so the prediction is a generic one that if he goes if he goes two
00:11:03.720
days without being seen in public between now and the and the election day it means something it means
00:11:10.600
that they're um it means that they're getting ready to uh switch him out somebody says they saw videos on
00:11:19.000
his twitter one to two days ago um so so i given that the fact checkers here are correcting me that
00:11:29.320
they have seen him on video more recently then that doesn't mean what it would mean if he had not been
00:11:35.640
seen so i'm not i'm not predicting he's withdrawing from the race if it's true he's been on video the
00:11:41.080
last two days it's a conditional prediction all right um three cnn anchors now have the coronavirus
00:11:52.920
that we know of brooke baldwin chris cuomo and richard quest was just just announced he has it are there
00:12:00.360
any fox news anchors who have the coronavirus and if not what's up with that
00:12:07.320
i see somebody in the comments saying that the uh there's a saliva test coming for coronavirus
00:12:15.720
that would be good i hope so um but why do three cnn anchors have it and no fox news anchors that's just
00:12:25.400
a curiosity um brooke baldwin who uh for an interest of full disclosure um i've spent time with her
00:12:35.160
husband because he did he was doing a documentary and he spent an afternoon with me interviewing me
00:12:41.400
so i know brooke baldwin's husband and um i've messaged with brooke a few times have appeared on
00:12:49.160
her show and the messages were mostly about setting up the interview with her husband um so just in terms
00:12:56.920
of full disclosure i've had some contacts with her and she's very nice and her husband is very nice
00:13:03.240
so that's that's my bias is that they're both nice people um politics aside if you can do that she
00:13:11.080
wrote a great write-up about her experience with the coronavirus that i tweeted maybe yesterday or the
00:13:18.120
day before but uh you can also see it on cnn's website it's really well written so you should you
00:13:25.880
should check it out because it's completely absent of politics there's no politics in it it is just a
00:13:33.160
personal account that is really compelling and well written and absolutely worth your time all right um
00:13:41.480
let's talk about uh kim jong-un well what we know about that is that we don't know anything about it
00:13:47.480
we don't know anything about kim jong-un so if you think he's dead or you think he's brain dead or you
00:13:56.600
think he's alive it's just a guess i mean the best the best evidence we have is that he didn't attend
00:14:03.720
one event but i mean it's possible he's not attending events just to stay away from coronavirus so
00:14:11.000
um oh somebody says uh jenadiah um bela has it on fox okay i didn't know that um and i and i don't know
00:14:29.880
uh did she get it while she was staying home well i guess we wouldn't know all right so thank you for
00:14:36.360
that fact check so there are more famous people getting it you know i've said that uh personally
00:14:43.000
i'm not going to get real panicked about the coronavirus and from the health impact part for
00:14:49.080
me personally until there's one celebrity that i know who dies from it it has to be under 70 because
00:14:58.760
you know somebody over 70 dying is no surprise but the first time i hear that somebody famous
00:15:05.160
could be in sports or any any domain and they're under 70 and they die from the coronavirus that's
00:15:13.320
when i will get worried because this is my irrational uh you know the irrational mind there's no logic
00:15:20.680
to this whatsoever so what i'm going to say i'm completely aware is irrational but it still works and
00:15:27.400
that is what are the odds i would be the first famous person to die from the coronavirus well you'd have
00:15:33.640
to it would be one out of all famous people how many famous people are there in the world
00:15:40.200
that you and i would all know their names and say oh yeah yeah i don't even follow that sport but
00:15:45.640
i know tiger woods you know i don't really watch the kardashians but i know kim kardashian is so
00:15:53.400
there are a lot of celebrities in the world or a lot of famous people if you want to use a more generic
00:15:58.680
word not a single one of them under 70 has died yet and of all those celebrities
00:16:10.520
what are the odds i'm going to be the first one so that's what i'm thinking i know it's irrational
00:16:15.640
i'm just telling you that's how i'm thinking um
00:16:20.040
so i don't i don't know if we there's not much to say about kim joe-gun because i think you just
00:16:24.440
have to wait and see if there's anything there at one point there was this report based on a rumor
00:16:30.760
that a chinese doctor who had coronavirus came in to operate on kim and that's where he got the
00:16:37.240
coronavirus but none of that is checking out apparently there's no evidence for any of that
00:16:42.840
so um but you would think that north korea would at least show us some signs of life if kim were in
00:16:53.400
good shape so i'm gonna i'm gonna assume that he's got some health issues but that's all we know
00:16:59.080
now let us speculate who would take over who would take over if kim uh leaves and um
00:17:22.200
and i was reading uh uh michael malice's tweet thread so he michael malice has a book about
00:17:28.760
north korea he's visited there and he's got better insight than uh 99.99 point of us
00:17:35.480
so he was saying that there's no clear succession and that you just don't know
00:17:44.200
and somebody says joe diffie was 61 doesn't count because i didn't know who he was until he died
00:17:49.560
um but i'll acknowledge that you know him but it doesn't count because i didn't know who he was
00:17:54.600
um would it be a sister now i think there's i think michael malice said this that the there's a very low
00:18:05.240
chance that a female would be in the leadership ranks in north korea because they're they're sexism
00:18:14.040
so it's very unlikely it'd be the sister so if it's not the sister and i guess he's only got one
00:18:19.560
one one brother left who isn't interested so things could get really interesting over there
00:18:29.480
things could get really interesting it makes you wonder if whoever is next in line
00:18:35.320
would maybe be somebody who didn't have blood on their hands if that's possible i don't know if that's
00:18:40.520
possible over there but imagine if they got a new leader who did not have a reputation
00:18:46.600
for having been involved in some kind of badness that we couldn't really get behind them what if
00:18:52.920
what if they come up with a new leader who has sort of a clean slate and has no reputation for having
00:18:59.800
killed anybody because that that's the only leader who could come to the united states and say hey how
00:19:05.880
about we work together because it would really be hard for any country to fully embrace working with
00:19:12.680
kim jong-un even though we might hold our noses and try because he has he has blood on his hands
00:19:19.160
but what if they come up with a new leader and either we don't know about any blood on their hands or
00:19:24.520
there doesn't seem to be any that's a leader who could say i think i could work with other countries
00:19:30.120
because then we wouldn't be you know we wouldn't be so uh concerned about that yes i know john prine
00:19:39.720
died but i'd never heard of him either so it doesn't count unless i've heard of them um
00:19:46.680
i hear apple is planning to build their 2020 iphones in brazil which i think would be i think means
00:19:54.280
moving their at least some of their production out of china you know apple is the one i've been
00:19:59.880
watching because people have been saying that there's not going to be decoupling unless apple
00:20:05.480
does it because as long as apple is happy to make their iphones in china i think every other company
00:20:12.520
has cover because apple you know that they do a really good job of positioning themselves as kind
00:20:19.640
of a moral company you could argue whether that's true or false but they do a really good job of
00:20:25.240
positioning that way and if apple is looking to move their supply chain out of china it doesn't have
00:20:35.160
to be for political reasons it could be just to reduce their risk then that kind of makes it safe
00:20:39.960
for everybody else to do it so the decoupling is on nothing will happen nothing could stop it now
00:20:46.600
um let's talk about trump's uh stopping of immigration from the political standpoint
00:20:56.440
um i think the democrats are going to say oh he's going to win this round because his base will love
00:21:02.680
it because it looks like they'll be thinking well maybe it'll be permanent it won't be permanent but
00:21:08.520
maybe his base will think so or some of them um so it might help his popularity his popularity with
00:21:15.720
his base might go up and it makes it very hard to argue against it because uh at this point
00:21:23.800
you know who exactly benefits from stopping immigration during the coronavirus i think it's
00:21:30.920
mostly minorities right wouldn't the people who would be helped the most be the people who are
00:21:38.600
competing for those jobs i mean it seems to me they're the ones who would be helped the most
00:21:43.320
racist so the president's being called a racist for a policy that clearly is strongly weighted toward
00:21:52.280
helping you know the black population in this country even the other immigrants who are already
00:21:57.880
here even the illegal immigrants who are already here stopping immigration is good even for the people
00:22:04.840
who don't have you know documented citizenship because the last thing they want is more people like them
00:22:11.000
in the country because they've been competing for the same limited jobs so it's sort of ridiculous
00:22:20.360
that that in this case a policy that's clearly primarily beneficial for the minority population
00:22:29.560
in this country is being called racist but there you have it it's a political political year
00:22:34.280
um iran's revolutionary guard the new head the guy that replaced solomon a who was killed in the drone
00:22:44.040
strike so their new chief he unveiled a coronavirus detection device that could uh was a huge breakthrough
00:22:52.920
in coronavirus detection and you might be wondering why was it being introduced by iran's revolutionary guard
00:23:00.280
instead of some kind of medical group well it turns out that even iran's own medical people quickly dismissed
00:23:08.680
this device as being a fraud that's right the guy who replaced the the strategic genius that we killed with
00:23:21.080
the drone so everybody seemed to think that solomon a was you know hate him or love him he was a sort of a
00:23:27.880
genius and a master manipulator i've often said that it does make sense to kill the top terrorist
00:23:36.600
because the number two terrorist often is not as amazing as the number one person and sometimes you need
00:23:43.560
that number one person to really get things going and keep it keep it going it seems to me that the iran's
00:23:49.960
revolutionary guard chief the replacement of the genius solomon a is so dumb that he fell for a fake
00:24:00.280
a fake device that was probably a shoebox full of twine that he thought could detect coronavirus from a distance
00:24:09.960
that's the guy who's the head of their revolutionary guard that he fell for a hoax that there was a device
00:24:17.960
that apparently the same device had been used in other hoaxes it was even it was even a retread of a hoax
00:24:26.920
so yeah somebody says it's a hydrocarbon detector or something i don't know what it is but uh
00:24:34.360
or maybe that was what the other the other hoax was so i don't think we have to worry about
00:24:40.680
iran's revolutionary guard employing genius strategies against us because it doesn't look
00:24:48.680
like they have a genius running it so what i'm saying
00:24:55.080
um there's a weird little story about chris cuomo uh breaking quarantine because of course he has the
00:25:04.040
coronavirus and there's a story that he went and visited some other property homes that was under
00:25:10.200
construction and he got in an altercation with a a bicycler who recognized him and thought he should
00:25:17.240
be in quarantine and if that's true then people are wondering what is this video of chris cuomo emerging
00:25:26.600
from his basement for the first time if he's been driving around if he's been driving around to places and
00:25:33.800
visiting is he really emerging from his basement for the first time in weeks and here's my spin on it
00:25:43.480
reality tv is not exactly reality tv if you know what i mean
00:25:49.480
reality tv is always a little bit scripted right if you watch any reality tv show all of the people
00:26:02.840
involved have a little idea where the producers want him to go they might go in their own way but
00:26:07.720
the you know the producers uh know where they want it to go so when chris cuomo a video emerged from
00:26:17.240
the basement of his house i guess his older daughter was videoing it his reunion with his
00:26:22.040
other daughters and his wife upstairs and of course they couldn't hug or kiss or anything because he's
00:26:26.600
he's still showing a little distance but it was filmed as though it was the first moment
00:26:33.640
that he had emerged from his basement but is that a lie is it a lie because there's this other video
00:26:42.280
of him being on the bicycle or not a video of him but there's a report that he was out of his basement
00:26:48.200
and going somewhere i'm going to rank this as um gray area all right i rank it as gray area
00:27:00.040
because the way the chris cuomo emerges from his basement video was presented it could be interpreted
00:27:11.080
as simply the first time he's gone upstairs you know where his family is now i don't know if he had
00:27:18.120
to go upstairs to get out of the house but it could be interpreted as it really was the first time he was
00:27:24.840
sort of in the same room with his family in two weeks that could be which would be true enough
00:27:30.840
honestly you know for for my personal standards that would be true enough remember i'm i'm the guy who says
00:27:38.440
that when president trump uses hyperbole you know calling it a lie sort of making too much of a big
00:27:46.840
deal about it because you know it's you know it's exaggeration if you just understand that you don't
00:27:52.520
really need to fact check it if you understand what it is likewise if it's true that chris cuomo got in a
00:28:01.160
you know drove his car somewhere to get out of the house maybe his parent maybe his family was
00:28:07.000
arrow in the separate car you don't know you don't know what the story was um and just visited a
00:28:12.440
property kept his distance you know we don't there was no report that he was getting close to anybody
00:28:19.080
right so if in fact he left his house visited the property kept his distance went back to his house
00:28:26.600
but the only time he'd ever gone upstairs in his own house was the video we saw
00:28:34.200
it's close to reality i'll give him a pass on that so in in the uh in the realm of
00:28:44.280
news and reality it's close enough to true it's close enough right you know he wasn't upstairs all week
00:28:51.640
it's close enough i give him a pass um i have a theory that all it will take for online education
00:29:00.840
which got a big boost of course from everybody staying home from school etc i think that the
00:29:06.680
only thing that's left for it to really just replace education in person in a classroom is a search
00:29:15.320
engine i think all you would need is a search engine that could find any class on a topic
00:29:22.840
across all platforms so right now there are a bunch of um siloed teaching platforms and there's
00:29:30.360
a lot of stuff on youtube you could you could find that with a search engine but it would just be the
00:29:35.000
youtube stuff i don't think you could easily search and compare so what what i'd be looking for is
00:29:43.080
something like yelp for online education you know i want to go out to a site and say i would like to
00:29:49.880
learn you know i don't know data security or something and or your geometry or take an english
00:29:58.280
grammar class or whatever and i want to type into the search engine and i want to like a yelp review
00:30:03.560
i wanted to tell me all the all the videos on that all the classes you could find online and then where to
00:30:10.040
find them so in some cases i might have to sign up for udemy or you know any one of dozens of different
00:30:17.960
online you know colleges but i'd know which one i needed and they don't cost much to sign up so you
00:30:26.600
could create you could uh you know if you said ah darn it i've got to take one class from this online
00:30:32.760
platform and pay money for it and have to take this other class from another online platform and
00:30:38.440
i'd have to be a subscriber to that too but you're not talking about much money you're talking about
00:30:45.320
you could google it but you wouldn't get reviews um so it's the reviews it's it's it's knowing which
00:30:50.600
ones are the good ones that makes the makes it good yeah so the con academy etc so so there are lots of
00:30:59.160
places you could find things but there's no one place where you can search for i want to class on this
00:31:04.040
topic and get a list across platforms with reviews uh because i don't think people would mind signing
00:31:12.920
up for let's say udemy for whatever it is per month because you could pay for the whole month
00:31:20.200
and it's you know dozens of dollars i don't know what it costs it's pretty low amount
00:31:25.000
um and it would be cheaper than going to college by so much that it would still be worth it
00:31:30.120
anyway that's what i think um apparently according to ken moore who tweets out that
00:31:39.000
peter teal's company palantir has created dashboards that are a single source for health officials to
00:31:46.760
track supply chain stuff for ppe and ventilators and so on so you know i was i was shouting from
00:31:54.360
the early days of the coronavirus where's my dashboard so that i don't have to listen to the
00:32:00.040
task force give numbers out of context i can just look at it and say oh these hospitals are low on ppe
00:32:07.880
but here's the pipeline and i'd know what's going on so i guess pal peter teal's company did that in
00:32:14.120
the article that also was interesting i guess teal pulled back his employees from overseas earlier than
00:32:21.160
basically anybody so why is it that peter teal can see the future and we can't well how does he keep
00:32:30.440
doing this you know i mean the reason that peter teal is a billionaire and you're not is that he could
00:32:36.520
see things early right invested in facebook early etc and and he did it again so he i guess his company
00:32:45.480
was like the first one to pull their employees back to the united states you know in february and i thought
00:32:51.480
to myself is it a coincidence is it a coincidence he keeps seeing the future and you don't probably not
00:33:04.360
all right let's see what else we got going on here
00:33:07.400
what's up with the lack of antifa are you surprised that antifa uh
00:33:18.360
are you surprised that antifa is not protesting the shutdown of the economy because what could be
00:33:24.760
more fascist according to them than the government overruling pretty much everything in civil liberties
00:33:33.080
and you know talking about you know chipping us and putting ankle bracelets on us and
00:33:39.400
armbands and you know carry ids and stuff which by the way i don't think these are all bad ideas
00:33:46.280
i'm just wondering why antifa doesn't is there some reason antifa is so quiet
00:33:56.200
yeah um somebody says it's because schools are closed maybe maybe if a lot of them were college kids
00:34:01.960
that could be part of it um but you would think this is when they should be most active
00:34:08.200
and it just kind of shows that it was always a fake organization in the first place
00:34:14.120
partly fake in the sense that probably funded by outside sources and also fake in the sense it was
00:34:20.600
more of a lifestyle movement it was about the fun of the event as much as it was about politics i think
00:34:27.160
that's my personal opinion based on hearing interviews with at least one person who was a
00:34:31.720
member who confirmed that in his opinion and the people he talked to in antifa a lot of it was
00:34:38.600
lifestyle it wasn't even about the end end result um
00:34:45.960
late last month this was from i think on a fox news report the trump administration officials ignited a
00:34:54.280
quest to root out with suspected spies from prominent u.s media outlets and
00:35:03.000
don't you wonder how big a deal that is how big a deal are chinese spies or just foreign spies in general
00:35:12.760
and our big media outlets including the the other social media platforms plus the news how big a deal do
00:35:19.800
you think that is now i don't know i don't know how big a deal it is but i've i've said before and i'll
00:35:27.560
reiterate that you should expect that in the long run i don't know how long the long run is i don't know
00:35:34.360
if we're in the long run or approaching the long run but in the long run you should expect all of the
00:35:40.520
social media platforms and news platforms to be essentially captured by intelligence services
00:35:48.360
because it's too valuable not to it would be crazy if the it would be crazy if our cia is not trying
00:35:56.120
to capture foreign news entities at least the ones that are not owned by their own government it would
00:36:02.680
be crazy if other foreign entities are not trying to put spies into our platforms and given that they have
00:36:10.120
so much to gain and and they can lose a spy now and then you know nobody's going to stop spying because
00:36:17.480
a spy got caught so from the perspective of a foreign country there's this gigantic thing to be gained
00:36:25.880
if you can get some control of any of any parts of the media in another country gigantic gains to be had
00:36:33.960
with no risk at all because we catch spies all the time and you just sort of ship them home or
00:36:40.680
you send some diplomats home but basically we don't do anything we don't do anything so it's it's a free
00:36:48.920
slap so what are the odds that china and russia and who knows who else what are the odds that they're not
00:36:57.320
already deeply embedded into our social media and news platforms it would be crazy to assume it's
00:37:06.040
not already happening and if it hasn't already happened completely my prediction is it has to happen
00:37:11.880
in the long run there's no there's no force to counterbalance it it's like a you know if the if
00:37:19.720
the agencies try to get in and control any given platform and it doesn't work on the first try
00:37:28.440
what are they going to do if the first attempt doesn't work they're not going to stop
00:37:35.160
there's nothing that would stop them they would just try again different person different way so
00:37:41.960
given that the intelligence agencies have so much to gain nothing to lose that would stop them i mean
00:37:47.960
they can lose spies but that doesn't stop a spy agency that's part of the deal you should just assume
00:37:55.160
that they will all be co-opted by intelligence agencies i don't i don't see how it could go any
00:37:59.960
other way because there's no counterbalance you can't catch them all and there's too much to gain all
00:38:06.360
right um i think i've talked about everything i wanted to talk about today i believe i have
00:38:18.680
somebody says why forget israel um israel is in the category of uh everybody else in the world who
00:38:26.440
has a good intelligence agency you should assume that all of our allies are also trying to influence
00:38:33.160
our social media so why would uh why would israel be any different it'd be crazy if they didn't try
00:38:39.720
uh likewise it would be crazy if france and great britain weren't trying a little bit to influence
00:38:47.160
us uh somebody says where's adam schiff he's been kind of quiet hasn't he isn't it weird that all of
00:38:55.000
the russia collusion stuff and whatever's going to happen with durham and you know who may or may not go to
00:39:03.880
jail oh i have a question about that i'm wondering about so we're all expecting that you know the
00:39:10.840
coronavirus is sort of um keeping the regular news from coming at us as quickly as it would
00:39:18.200
and so we're not really watching as much as we normally would events with the whole um steel dossier
00:39:26.360
and the russia collusion and stuff and i was wondering what the penalty would be if anybody at a high level
00:39:35.320
got convicted for trying to overthrow the president of the united states um
00:39:44.440
is there a penalty for that yeah i'm just going to google it right now um
00:39:52.040
so so treason would be if you levied war against your own country in this case the united states or
00:40:00.520
adheres to their enemy giving the aid and comfort within the united states or elsewhere is guilty of
00:40:06.280
treason and she'll suffer death or shall be imprisoned that not less than five years okay
00:40:11.480
so that was the question i wanted to have an answer to because i was wondering if it's always the death
00:40:17.400
penalty uh apparently it's not it's not the death penalty necessarily uh so it could be uh over five years
00:40:27.320
so it says not less than five years or you could be fined uh but and fine so you could be fine and
00:40:36.520
five years not necessarily death but i don't know if it would be considered treason unless our
00:40:42.520
intelligence agencies were working for the benefit of an enemy um
00:40:50.120
whoever owing allegiance levies war against them or adheres to their enemies
00:40:53.960
so i guess enemy would be the key word here and there's there's probably lots of constitutional
00:40:59.400
law and stuff that i don't know about that so oh somebody's saying sedition all right sedition
00:41:16.200
i'm not even sure i know what the sedition is it's a serious
00:41:20.200
uh it's a serious felony punishable by fines and up to 20 years in prison is the act of inciting
00:41:27.160
revolt or violence against a lawful authority with the goal oh okay yeah it's punishable by fines and
00:41:34.760
up to 20 years in prison yeah so that would certainly fit the definition of what we believe to be true
00:41:40.440
about the steel dossier that did look like it was um wait no is it didn't look like it was inciting a revolt
00:41:51.960
depends if the revolt has to be violent can a can a bloodless coup
00:41:59.400
be the result of sedition i don't know so i guess we got lots of questions on that i was just wondering
00:42:10.440
any of the people involved in the steel dossier in the russia collusion hoax
00:42:15.720
i was wondering if any of them had at least a risk of the death penalty and i would say not
00:42:24.040
yeah apparently an internal coup against the president doesn't get you the death penalty
00:42:30.680
um did you hear the hot mic moment yeah so there was a open mic when john roberts of fox news was
00:42:42.680
waiting for the task force or somebody to come on and he was chatting with uh i guess the tech who was
00:42:48.440
working the av and they were chatting and somehow i i listened to the whole thing and somehow people
00:42:56.600
believe there's something in there that's like a new conspiracy theory because the the tech guy said
00:43:03.000
that they'd all been vaccinated because they were joking about coronavirus uh exposure and uh the guy
00:43:10.440
said he they'd all been vaccinated to which i said what vaccination so it should be seen in the context of
00:43:19.240
two people who knew each other who didn't think anybody was listening except whoever was in the room
00:43:24.600
and they were just talking crap all right so i don't know what the tech guy meant when he said we've
00:43:31.560
all been vaccinated but it was probably a joke and uh then john roberts said something about the
00:43:38.840
the the news is that it the thing might be less deadly than we thought but of course uh
00:43:47.160
here's the problem with it was i i feel like i'm going to say something that's as obvious as when i
00:43:54.200
said face masks obviously work even when every medical expert on tv was telling you they didn't
00:44:01.000
and i was still saying no i'm pretty sure they work this feels like another one of those situations
00:44:09.240
the news that we're hearing is that if it's true that the coronavirus is far more widespread than we
00:44:15.560
think then that would also mean it's a relatively weak virus meaning it doesn't kill many people as a
00:44:21.320
percentage and it might not kill any more people than the regular flu uh at least during during the
00:44:29.800
lockdown it doesn't but if you have one that's the same deadliness as the regular flu but it's far more
00:44:39.080
viral correct me if i'm wrong super viral but only kills the same percentage of people as a regular flu
00:44:49.000
is still super bad compared to the regular flu can anybody fact check me on that is that not
00:44:55.880
screamingly obvious that there's no good news from the fact that lots of people have it without symptoms
00:45:03.560
there's no good news in that right am i wrong because everybody's acting like that's good news and i don't see
00:45:09.960
any good news i see something that's exactly as deadly as it is because it's filling up er rooms and icus
00:45:20.280
and we're also looking at a situation with full you know um full mitigation so i think everybody on
00:45:29.960
television who says hey lots of people have it without symptoms therefore it's not that dangerous
00:45:37.880
i think they're just wrong right that it's exactly as dangerous as we thought uh look at the comments
00:45:45.320
you'll see some people saying you're wrong and you'll see people saying uh you're not wrong and somebody
00:45:51.400
somebody says it's just math right i think it is i think it's just math that is just as bad no matter
00:46:00.200
what we find about how many people have it without symptoms i think all right i've got to go get ready
00:46:05.960
for a podcast with uh uh representative dan crenshaw don't you want to watch that uh it'll be recorded
00:46:15.480
i believe so i'll tell you what it is but don't you want to see me uh uh dan crenshaw interview me on
00:46:21.400
his podcast come on you know you want to see that you know you want to see that i got to go get ready
00:46:27.240
for that and i'll talk to you tonight you know when
