Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 939 Scott Adams： Fake News and Loserthink in the Headlines That is Humorously Dumb

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, come on in.

00:00:12.660 Yes, it's another wonderful morning in the age of coronavirus,

00:00:17.080 but I think we're going to get on top of this thing.

00:00:20.820 Yeah, yeah. Humans, we're pretty good.

00:00:24.500 In fact, our winning record, about 100,000 years of winning.

00:00:32.540 Name a species that has beaten us yet. You can't.

00:00:36.100 Name a virus that has taken us down and finished us off. None.

00:00:41.400 Spanish flu? Nothing. You got nothing. You're shooting blanks, flu.

00:00:48.060 Well, there's no virus that can stop us,

00:00:50.280 especially when we have powerful, powerful medical technology.

00:00:55.400 Not the least among them is the simultaneous SIP.

00:00:58.640 Yeah, the simultaneous SIP has been shown in studies that are not peer-reviewed,

00:01:05.220 and allegedly we hear from people who are anonymous sources

00:01:08.960 in tests run in other countries by people with very long hair

00:01:13.340 who should not be doctors.

00:01:15.200 Those people tell us with great certainty

00:01:18.860 that the simultaneous SIP will raise your immune system.

00:01:24.420 Yeah, it's true.

00:01:25.560 And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:01:27.360 a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask,

00:01:29.320 a vessel of any kind.

00:01:31.660 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:33.520 I like coffee.

00:01:34.820 And join me there for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine

00:01:37.540 at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything,

00:01:39.480 including this stupid pandemic, better.

00:01:41.880 Yeah, it's called the simultaneous SIP, but it happens now.

00:01:45.020 Go.

00:01:49.200 Ah.

00:01:51.340 Yeah, my immune system just went up about 3.6%, I think.

00:01:57.920 Feels about like that.

00:02:00.340 All right.

00:02:02.280 Here's my idea of the day that does not come from me.

00:02:05.900 A Twitter follower sends me the following idea,

00:02:11.640 and I would like to share it with you.

00:02:13.920 So the president is considering scaling back on his press conferences.

00:02:19.620 I think most of you would say,

00:02:21.780 that might be a good idea at this point.

00:02:24.580 We're a little bit over-informed,

00:02:27.340 and every time he's on stage taking questions,

00:02:31.460 the press is doing nothing but trying to bait him into a mistake.

00:02:35.900 So I don't really need to watch the press asking illegitimate questions,

00:02:41.640 which are only designed to force unforced errors, basically.

00:02:48.000 That doesn't make sense, but you know what I'm talking about.

00:02:50.760 So here's a suggestion.

00:02:53.060 How about the president take questions from the public?

00:02:59.260 Right?

00:02:59.740 Now, when I say the public, there are several ways to do it.

00:03:02.960 One is, you could literally just say,

00:03:05.600 you know, tweet at me a question,

00:03:07.200 and I'll pick the ones that look good.

00:03:10.420 Right?

00:03:10.920 That would be a perfectly fair way to do it.

00:03:12.660 Just look at his Twitter feed.

00:03:14.420 Go on television and say,

00:03:15.720 all right, I got a whole bunch of questions.

00:03:17.940 I've marked some good ones.

00:03:19.040 So, user blah, blah, blah, asks this question.

00:03:23.600 Here's my answer.

00:03:24.920 Now, of course, that doesn't give you time for some follow-up.

00:03:27.960 So let me suggest another idea.

00:03:31.240 Why is it that only CNN and the big networks

00:03:34.400 get to ask questions of the president?

00:03:37.400 Do they have special powers of question-asking?

00:03:41.740 They don't, right?

00:03:42.980 But what they do have is a big channel.

00:03:45.500 So, in other words, the president is sort of forced

00:03:48.620 to answer questions from people he doesn't want to deal with,

00:03:52.400 such as, you know, CNN,

00:03:54.700 because they have such a big reach.

00:03:57.980 But, it's 2020, people.

00:04:01.920 Can you imagine, I'll just throw out this hypothetically,

00:04:04.960 if I personally interviewed President Trump on video,

00:04:11.460 how many people would watch it?

00:04:12.980 And the answer is, just about everybody in the world.

00:04:17.880 So, do you need CNN?

00:04:21.000 Tell me this isn't true.

00:04:22.540 If I personally interviewed President Trump,

00:04:26.100 it would be huge.

00:04:28.060 And it's not just me.

00:04:29.720 You could pick, you could come up with 20 names

00:04:32.860 off the top of your head

00:04:33.860 who are just people with blue checks on Twitter.

00:04:37.640 They don't need blue checks.

00:04:39.100 I'm not saying that makes you, you know,

00:04:40.860 more effective because you have a blue check.

00:04:43.060 Obviously, that's not the case.

00:04:44.720 But you could think of 20 people

00:04:46.320 that you would put on camera and say,

00:04:49.060 hey, you know,

00:04:51.240 well, I was going to say, you know,

00:04:52.800 Jack Posobiec, but he has, you know,

00:04:54.620 he has a network.

00:04:55.440 So, he doesn't count

00:04:57.060 because he's got his own network at OAN.

00:04:58.780 But take somebody who doesn't have a network,

00:05:02.440 just somebody who's got a lot of Twitter followers.

00:05:04.940 Do you think, I'll just, you know,

00:05:06.700 throw out a name.

00:05:07.840 Do you think if Mike Cernovich

00:05:09.120 interviewed President Trump on video

00:05:12.320 that that wouldn't get 20 million hits?

00:05:15.260 Of course it would.

00:05:16.480 Of course it would.

00:05:18.180 Yeah.

00:05:18.480 Do you think I can't ask better questions

00:05:20.720 than the entire press corps?

00:05:23.300 I can.

00:05:24.920 I can.

00:05:26.020 And I think you know it too, right?

00:05:27.880 I can ask better questions

00:05:29.160 than the entire press corps.

00:05:30.680 I say that with complete confidence.

00:05:34.380 And I say that because lots of people could.

00:05:37.340 I'm not saying that I could do better

00:05:38.900 than the press corps

00:05:39.840 because I have magic powers.

00:05:42.680 I'm saying there are lots of people who could.

00:05:45.440 You just have to take it

00:05:46.460 out of that weird little artificial environment

00:05:48.640 where they're showcasing

00:05:50.360 and, you know, trying to force an error.

00:05:53.220 And just give somebody,

00:05:54.140 there's a good suggestion.

00:05:56.500 Dave Rubin.

00:05:58.100 Could Dave Rubin ask better questions

00:06:00.440 of President Trump about the coronavirus

00:06:02.280 than the professional reporters in the room?

00:06:06.840 Yeah.

00:06:08.060 Wouldn't even be close.

00:06:09.700 Tim Pool, Joe Rogan,

00:06:11.660 I'm seeing other names.

00:06:12.840 Yeah, Dan Bongino.

00:06:16.240 You could find a lot of people

00:06:18.020 who could dig in a little bit better

00:06:20.580 than the pros.

00:06:21.520 So why not do that?

00:06:23.980 So here's my invitation.

00:06:26.100 I invite President Trump

00:06:28.180 to do a long-form interview with me.

00:06:32.540 I guarantee it will be better TV

00:06:34.880 than anything that's been produced

00:06:36.600 by any other interview,

00:06:39.320 by any other network, period.

00:06:42.520 And you know it's true.

00:06:44.540 You know you would watch an interview

00:06:46.220 with me and President Trump.

00:06:47.960 You know you would.

00:06:50.100 So, anyway, I'll throw that out there.

00:06:52.780 It doesn't have to be me,

00:06:53.740 but I'd like to see real people

00:06:54.980 asking him questions.

00:06:59.420 So the Democrats are so worried

00:07:01.400 about Trump's decision-making,

00:07:03.300 and it kind of comes down to that,

00:07:05.000 doesn't it?

00:07:05.380 They use lots of words for it.

00:07:07.840 You know, they'll say,

00:07:08.580 we think he's a monster,

00:07:10.560 we think he's crazy,

00:07:11.760 we think he's not paying attention

00:07:13.080 to the facts,

00:07:14.620 we think he's speculating

00:07:16.040 about medical things,

00:07:17.420 he's a loose cannon.

00:07:18.320 They have a million different words for it,

00:07:20.760 but doesn't it all come down to

00:07:22.860 they don't trust his decision-making,

00:07:25.860 right?

00:07:26.360 They give different reasons for it,

00:07:28.260 but it all comes down to

00:07:29.620 we don't know if he'll make

00:07:31.100 the right decisions.

00:07:33.320 So Democrats are so worried

00:07:35.080 about Trump's decision-making

00:07:36.440 that they want to replace him

00:07:38.560 with an elderly dementia patient

00:07:40.760 with credible Me Too allegations.

00:07:43.620 I'm not even making that up,

00:07:48.980 right?

00:07:49.860 Is this not a true statement?

00:07:51.980 I don't think it's even shaded

00:07:53.340 in an especially provocative way.

00:07:57.100 The Democrats are so worried

00:07:58.440 about Trump's decision-making,

00:07:59.920 that's true,

00:08:00.900 they're very worried

00:08:01.640 about his decision-making.

00:08:02.840 Everybody would agree

00:08:03.600 with that first part of the statement.

00:08:05.640 That they want to replace him

00:08:07.180 with an elderly dementia patient

00:08:08.840 with credible Me Too allegations.

00:08:11.920 Would you disagree

00:08:12.960 with that statement?

00:08:14.140 Now you could disagree

00:08:15.040 whether he's technically

00:08:16.320 a dementia patient,

00:08:17.740 but that would be a distinction

00:08:19.680 without much a difference, right?

00:08:21.380 Or is there a difference

00:08:22.140 without a distinction?

00:08:23.160 It's one of those.

00:08:25.520 Maybe he's not technically,

00:08:28.180 you know, technically

00:08:29.140 maybe he doesn't have dementia,

00:08:32.040 but he looks and acts that way.

00:08:36.580 So, and I wondered,

00:08:39.660 how could Trump ever learn

00:08:40.960 to make good decisions like that?

00:08:43.420 Because the Democrats

00:08:44.640 who are judging

00:08:45.780 Trump's decision-making abilities

00:08:48.740 must feel that they can

00:08:50.960 make better decisions

00:08:52.040 because they're comparing

00:08:54.280 Trump's decision-making

00:08:55.800 to what they would have done,

00:08:57.120 I suppose,

00:08:57.760 because how else could you do it?

00:08:59.780 It's not like there's another president

00:09:01.480 who's doing the same job.

00:09:03.420 So if you're saying

00:09:04.380 President Trump

00:09:05.040 is not making good decisions,

00:09:06.700 the only thing you have

00:09:08.820 to compare it to

00:09:09.700 is the decisions

00:09:11.160 that you yourself

00:09:11.960 would have made

00:09:12.440 in that situation.

00:09:13.920 So one has to assume

00:09:15.220 that you're good

00:09:15.780 at making decisions

00:09:16.720 in order to judge

00:09:18.440 that the person

00:09:19.080 who's doing something different

00:09:20.200 from what you would do

00:09:21.240 is doing it wrong.

00:09:22.560 So the people

00:09:23.940 who judge themselves

00:09:24.880 to be good

00:09:25.420 at making decisions

00:09:26.420 have decided

00:09:27.920 that they should put

00:09:28.900 all of their hopes

00:09:29.780 with an elderly

00:09:31.280 dementia patient

00:09:32.260 with credible

00:09:33.360 Me Too allegations.

00:09:34.320 What part of that

00:09:37.360 did I make up?

00:09:39.420 Is any of that

00:09:40.500 exaggeration?

00:09:43.880 I mean,

00:09:44.220 maybe the dementia patient part,

00:09:45.780 but barely, right?

00:09:50.320 Here's a story

00:09:51.300 that is so shocking

00:09:53.980 that I can't even process it.

00:09:57.620 Do you ever have that happen

00:09:58.900 where there's a story

00:09:59.800 that you think is true?

00:10:02.420 I'm sure it's true.

00:10:03.440 I mean,

00:10:04.540 this one's true for sure.

00:10:06.840 Well, nothing's true for sure,

00:10:08.160 but I think this one's true.

00:10:10.220 And it's so bad

00:10:12.560 that if it were true,

00:10:14.860 and it is true,

00:10:15.800 I should immediately

00:10:17.100 get in my car

00:10:18.400 and go start a revolution

00:10:20.760 or something.

00:10:21.680 It's so bad

00:10:22.780 that my brain

00:10:24.400 can't even tell me

00:10:25.220 what to do about it

00:10:26.200 because it doesn't even feel real.

00:10:28.480 And here it is.

00:10:30.260 There's an employee

00:10:32.180 of the New York Times

00:10:33.380 Davey Alba

00:10:34.960 who said,

00:10:37.300 I contacted YouTube

00:10:38.840 about this video

00:10:40.140 which is being shared

00:10:41.800 on tons of replies

00:10:43.560 on Twitter and Facebook

00:10:44.600 by people asserting

00:10:46.120 that it backs up

00:10:47.180 Trump's idea

00:10:48.220 throwing it out there

00:10:50.000 that UV rays

00:10:51.440 kill coronavirus.

00:10:53.300 YouTube just said

00:10:54.160 it removed it

00:10:54.820 for violating

00:10:55.520 its community guidelines.

00:10:57.020 Now, the video in question,

00:10:59.660 many of you know the story,

00:11:01.380 is the company

00:11:02.940 who doesn't,

00:11:04.020 I don't forget their name,

00:11:05.520 but they're in trials

00:11:06.580 right now

00:11:07.140 in Cedars-Sinai

00:11:08.180 for a far-UV

00:11:10.020 light technology

00:11:11.020 which is known

00:11:12.140 to kill coronavirus.

00:11:14.000 It's not speculated

00:11:15.980 that it kills coronavirus.

00:11:17.340 it's already

00:11:18.880 a commercial product.

00:11:20.760 It kills coronavirus

00:11:21.920 outside of the body.

00:11:24.080 Now there's

00:11:25.240 a trial going on

00:11:26.860 to see if inserting it

00:11:27.960 in the body

00:11:28.460 can also kill

00:11:29.860 the coronavirus

00:11:30.560 similarly

00:11:31.880 without damage

00:11:33.140 to skin

00:11:34.040 the way that we use it

00:11:35.920 externally

00:11:36.480 because it's already

00:11:37.580 used in hospitals.

00:11:39.180 Israel's already

00:11:40.000 using a little robot

00:11:41.920 with a UV light on it

00:11:43.180 to clean out buses

00:11:44.760 or airlines

00:11:46.340 or something.

00:11:47.440 So, it's a known technology

00:11:49.300 that's being further tested

00:11:51.580 to see if it also

00:11:52.620 has an extra use.

00:11:54.460 The most normal thing

00:11:56.160 that happens in the world.

00:11:57.880 Hey, we have some evidence

00:11:59.060 this might be good.

00:12:00.600 This is what we're doing

00:12:01.500 to test it.

00:12:02.620 The president mentioned it.

00:12:04.740 And this guy

00:12:05.280 from the New York Times

00:12:06.340 decides to take it

00:12:07.860 upon himself,

00:12:09.600 takes it upon himself

00:12:11.420 to have that removed

00:12:13.260 from the internet.

00:12:15.560 Why?

00:12:16.960 What was the reason he gave?

00:12:19.200 He said because

00:12:20.140 which is being shared

00:12:21.360 on tons of replies

00:12:22.860 on Twitter and Facebook

00:12:23.800 by people asserting

00:12:25.560 that it backs up

00:12:26.480 Trump's idea

00:12:27.380 throwing it out there

00:12:28.940 that UV rays

00:12:30.340 kill coronavirus.

00:12:32.300 It doesn't just

00:12:33.660 assert

00:12:34.600 that it backs up

00:12:35.940 Trump's idea.

00:12:37.720 It proves it.

00:12:39.660 It's not an assertion.

00:12:42.180 It's a proof

00:12:43.000 that 100% of scientists

00:12:45.160 agree with.

00:12:46.420 Is there anybody

00:12:47.120 in the world

00:12:47.660 that you could produce

00:12:48.660 in the New York Times

00:12:49.500 that would say,

00:12:51.080 you know,

00:12:51.380 we've looked at it

00:12:52.200 and far UV light

00:12:53.780 does not kill virus?

00:12:55.680 Because that would be

00:12:56.680 quite shocking

00:12:57.360 since 100% of the science

00:12:58.960 says it does.

00:13:00.100 And multiple

00:13:01.400 commercial products

00:13:02.560 are selling it

00:13:03.240 to hospitals

00:13:04.500 filled with doctors

00:13:05.880 who don't know

00:13:07.500 that it doesn't work.

00:13:08.380 So this New York Times

00:13:11.060 permission to swear?

00:13:16.720 I need permission

00:13:17.760 to swear.

00:13:19.880 I know there's

00:13:20.620 a little delay

00:13:21.120 in the comments,

00:13:22.240 but I don't want

00:13:23.080 to do this

00:13:23.500 until you get

00:13:24.000 a little warning.

00:13:24.960 You know,

00:13:25.140 I know you have kids

00:13:26.040 at home and stuff,

00:13:27.620 but it's early

00:13:28.340 in the morning.

00:13:28.920 Kids are asleep,

00:13:29.680 right?

00:13:30.860 Or at least

00:13:31.360 they're not watching this.

00:13:32.280 I'm watching

00:13:34.180 and so there

00:13:37.080 will be some swearing.

00:13:38.180 I'll just give you

00:13:38.900 a little warning

00:13:39.660 on that.

00:13:40.940 This David Elba guy

00:13:42.140 tried successfully,

00:13:45.060 he successfully

00:13:46.260 had content

00:13:47.680 removed from

00:13:49.080 the internet

00:13:49.660 only because

00:13:51.360 it backed up

00:13:52.240 the president

00:13:53.360 being correct

00:13:54.400 and agreeing

00:13:55.900 with every scientist

00:13:56.880 in the world

00:13:57.680 that UV light

00:13:59.320 kills coronavirus

00:14:00.380 and it is also

00:14:02.140 a fact,

00:14:02.880 nobody questions it,

00:14:04.680 the Cedars-Sinai

00:14:05.480 is testing it

00:14:06.440 right now internally

00:14:07.340 by injecting it,

00:14:09.600 injecting into the body

00:14:11.620 through the trachea,

00:14:14.220 et cetera.

00:14:14.740 It could be

00:14:15.060 in the bloodstream

00:14:16.080 through the vein.

00:14:16.840 There's another way

00:14:17.460 to do it.

00:14:18.700 And this fucking cunt,

00:14:22.520 this fucking idiot,

00:14:24.080 Day of Elba

00:14:24.660 from the New York Times

00:14:25.600 takes it upon himself

00:14:26.760 to try to change

00:14:28.220 the history

00:14:28.960 of the world

00:14:30.360 by making it look

00:14:31.320 like the president's

00:14:32.280 a nut

00:14:32.760 for just speculating

00:14:37.080 aloud about a technology

00:14:38.620 that looks pretty

00:14:39.760 fucking solid,

00:14:40.820 David Elba.

00:14:41.620 You goddamn

00:14:42.460 fucking cunt.

00:14:44.080 This is the kind

00:14:45.220 of thing

00:14:45.680 that makes you

00:14:46.920 unqualified

00:14:47.680 to be a fucking

00:14:48.660 human being.

00:14:49.660 We're in a goddamn

00:14:51.140 fucking emergency.

00:14:54.000 Hundreds of thousands

00:14:54.900 of people are dying

00:14:55.960 and you,

00:14:56.780 you fucking cunt,

00:14:58.220 are trying to remove

00:14:59.240 useful information

00:15:00.200 from the internet

00:15:00.860 because it doesn't

00:15:01.820 agree with your

00:15:02.480 fucking cunt,

00:15:04.140 stupid,

00:15:05.000 goddamn,

00:15:06.060 cunt,

00:15:06.460 fucking politics?

00:15:10.840 Really?

00:15:12.020 Really?

00:15:12.460 You would rather

00:15:12.960 destroy the whole

00:15:13.840 fucking earth

00:15:14.720 than let Donald Trump

00:15:17.180 be right about

00:15:17.800 something that he's

00:15:18.520 clearly right about?

00:15:21.280 You're going to

00:15:21.940 change the whole

00:15:22.380 fucking internet?

00:15:23.340 And then the

00:15:23.860 assholes on the internet

00:15:24.800 take it off.

00:15:26.060 Twitter,

00:15:26.420 YouTube?

00:15:27.380 Yeah,

00:15:27.800 let's just fucking

00:15:28.460 take this information

00:15:29.360 off because it

00:15:30.360 doesn't look good

00:15:30.900 for President Trump.

00:15:32.120 This is the worst

00:15:32.900 fucking thing I've

00:15:33.880 ever seen.

00:15:34.880 I mean,

00:15:35.140 this is the kind

00:15:36.380 of person

00:15:36.860 that I can't say

00:15:39.580 enough bad about

00:15:40.300 this person.

00:15:41.220 This is a horrible

00:15:42.280 person.

00:15:43.200 Like,

00:15:43.600 as a human being,

00:15:45.040 you really have

00:15:45.840 to check yourself.

00:15:47.360 Check yourself,

00:15:48.380 David Elba.

00:15:49.400 You're a horrible

00:15:50.320 person.

00:15:51.220 What the fuck

00:15:51.860 is wrong with you?

00:15:53.440 Seriously,

00:15:54.200 what the fuck

00:15:54.840 is wrong with you?

00:15:55.600 Jesus.

00:16:00.500 Let's talk about

00:16:01.380 the Huffington Post.

00:16:06.180 I warned you

00:16:07.100 that it's hard

00:16:07.500 to process that.

00:16:10.280 But I guess I

00:16:11.620 managed to do it

00:16:12.340 anyway.

00:16:14.120 So the Huffington

00:16:15.020 Post ran this

00:16:15.800 story not too

00:16:17.460 long ago that

00:16:18.140 said that

00:16:18.660 hydroxychloroquine

00:16:19.940 was killing more

00:16:21.800 people than it

00:16:22.320 was helping.

00:16:22.900 So they did a

00:16:23.880 study and they

00:16:25.000 found out that

00:16:25.580 the people who

00:16:26.060 took it

00:16:26.420 had worse

00:16:27.020 outcomes than

00:16:28.820 the people who

00:16:29.380 didn't.

00:16:31.660 Okay?

00:16:32.440 So a guy who's

00:16:34.560 a professional

00:16:35.300 with lots of

00:16:36.360 experience at

00:16:37.140 examining the

00:16:39.080 quality of studies,

00:16:40.880 so he's got

00:16:41.900 years of experience,

00:16:43.080 he's been hired

00:16:43.740 at high levels

00:16:44.740 to do exactly

00:16:46.000 this,

00:16:46.560 to look at

00:16:47.000 his studies and

00:16:47.680 say,

00:16:47.960 does this look

00:16:48.540 good or not?

00:16:49.820 it's Peter

00:16:51.520 Bregan,

00:16:52.140 MD,

00:16:53.020 with Ginger

00:16:53.780 Ross Bregan,

00:16:55.300 and here's what

00:16:56.800 he notes,

00:16:58.540 and see how

00:16:59.160 obvious this is

00:17:00.260 to find out

00:17:00.900 what's wrong

00:17:01.360 with this study.

00:17:02.560 So it was a

00:17:03.320 study in which

00:17:03.880 they gave the

00:17:04.440 hydroxychloroquine

00:17:05.540 only to the

00:17:06.940 sickest patients,

00:17:07.880 and they

00:17:09.440 found out that

00:17:10.760 the sickest

00:17:11.360 patients had

00:17:12.360 bad outcomes

00:17:13.200 compared to

00:17:13.940 patients who

00:17:14.600 were not as

00:17:15.160 sick.

00:17:16.700 It sounds like

00:17:17.600 I'm making that

00:17:18.200 up, doesn't it?

00:17:19.420 That there was a

00:17:20.300 scientific,

00:17:21.680 I don't know,

00:17:22.980 experience,

00:17:23.880 it wasn't even a

00:17:24.460 study, but an

00:17:25.120 experience,

00:17:26.480 that the Huffington

00:17:27.320 Post reported

00:17:29.200 on,

00:17:29.860 it's not peer

00:17:30.540 reviewed,

00:17:30.940 and they

00:17:33.920 compared sick

00:17:34.700 people to not

00:17:35.480 sick people,

00:17:36.100 and they said

00:17:36.500 that the people

00:17:37.020 who were really

00:17:37.460 sick and near

00:17:38.060 death,

00:17:38.820 more of them

00:17:39.480 died than the

00:17:40.740 people who were

00:17:41.360 not very sick.

00:17:42.940 And then they

00:17:43.620 reported that it's

00:17:44.500 because the drug

00:17:45.220 is killing them.

00:17:46.300 No, they only

00:17:47.760 gave the drug

00:17:48.680 because it was

00:17:49.740 only allowed to

00:17:50.540 be given to

00:17:51.280 the sickest

00:17:51.800 patients.

00:17:52.760 So are we

00:17:53.820 surprised that

00:17:55.060 the people near

00:17:55.720 death were more

00:17:56.900 likely to die

00:17:57.880 than the people

00:17:58.880 who were not

00:17:59.600 having any real

00:18:00.300 symptoms?

00:18:01.940 I mean,

00:18:02.640 come on.

00:18:04.720 I mean,

00:18:05.800 it's not,

00:18:07.040 it's Davey

00:18:08.100 Elba,

00:18:08.720 D-A-V-E-Y.

00:18:10.840 So on Twitter,

00:18:11.620 he's at

00:18:12.220 D-A-V-E-Y-A-L-B-A.

00:18:15.380 If you want to

00:18:16.200 send him a copy

00:18:16.940 of this rant,

00:18:19.180 be my guest.

00:18:20.520 What a horrible

00:18:21.400 person.

00:18:22.140 I mean,

00:18:22.440 really,

00:18:23.320 I generally

00:18:23.840 don't make,

00:18:24.700 I generally

00:18:25.220 try to refrain

00:18:26.100 from opinions

00:18:27.120 about people.

00:18:29.340 You know,

00:18:29.520 I'd rather just

00:18:30.120 say,

00:18:30.940 they're good

00:18:31.460 as something,

00:18:32.060 they're bad

00:18:32.440 as something.

00:18:33.360 You know,

00:18:33.760 I don't want

00:18:35.380 to be your

00:18:35.760 god and

00:18:36.880 judge somebody

00:18:37.580 being good

00:18:38.140 or bad

00:18:38.600 as a good

00:18:39.220 person.

00:18:39.780 That's not

00:18:40.160 my job.

00:18:41.380 But sometimes,

00:18:42.360 you know,

00:18:43.820 sometimes there's

00:18:44.660 an easy call.

00:18:46.280 You know,

00:18:46.480 Hitler didn't

00:18:48.020 have his good

00:18:48.580 points.

00:18:49.780 Hitler was just

00:18:50.400 a bad person.

00:18:51.780 Right?

00:18:52.140 You can't say,

00:18:52.720 well, you know,

00:18:53.340 he had some

00:18:53.740 pluses.

00:18:54.480 You don't say

00:18:55.080 that.

00:18:55.440 For most

00:18:57.800 people,

00:18:58.120 I would,

00:18:58.480 though.

00:18:59.000 For most

00:18:59.360 people,

00:18:59.700 I'd say,

00:19:00.000 you know,

00:19:00.860 Nancy Pelosi,

00:19:01.800 I don't like

00:19:02.220 what she did

00:19:03.400 today,

00:19:03.980 but, you know,

00:19:04.620 she has all

00:19:05.160 those other

00:19:05.540 things she did.

00:19:06.420 Those are

00:19:06.720 pretty good.

00:19:07.860 For most

00:19:08.500 people,

00:19:08.860 I'd say,

00:19:09.460 you know,

00:19:09.800 it's a mixed

00:19:10.300 bag.

00:19:10.820 It's not the

00:19:11.240 way I would

00:19:11.660 have gone,

00:19:12.220 but I can

00:19:12.680 see why

00:19:13.020 they might

00:19:13.340 have done

00:19:13.620 it.

00:19:14.220 But sometimes

00:19:14.820 you're just

00:19:15.200 evil.

00:19:16.560 And this

00:19:17.800 Davey Elba

00:19:18.440 guy needs

00:19:19.120 to really,

00:19:19.680 really look

00:19:20.720 himself in

00:19:21.340 the mirror

00:19:21.660 really hard.

00:19:23.720 Anyway,

00:19:24.200 so the

00:19:25.100 Huffington Post

00:19:25.900 is,

00:19:26.740 I would put

00:19:27.160 them in the

00:19:27.580 same category

00:19:28.560 of the worst

00:19:29.800 people in the

00:19:30.440 world,

00:19:31.240 because they

00:19:31.760 ran a story

00:19:32.380 that is so

00:19:33.040 filled with

00:19:33.800 errors about

00:19:34.840 the hydroxychloroquine

00:19:36.000 that it's

00:19:38.620 obvious that

00:19:39.300 its only

00:19:39.720 purpose was

00:19:40.500 to embarrass

00:19:41.100 the president.

00:19:42.760 So here we

00:19:43.640 are in a

00:19:44.580 fucking emergency,

00:19:45.960 in a fucking

00:19:46.660 crisis,

00:19:47.820 and Huffington

00:19:48.280 Post decides

00:19:49.200 to do an

00:19:50.160 article with

00:19:50.700 grotesque

00:19:51.920 misinformation

00:19:52.660 because it

00:19:53.900 will embarrass

00:19:54.540 the president

00:19:55.160 in a

00:19:55.940 fucking

00:19:56.240 crisis.

00:19:57.820 How about

00:19:58.580 the people

00:19:59.000 of the

00:19:59.280 United States

00:19:59.960 who would

00:20:00.380 like to

00:20:00.700 maybe survive

00:20:01.640 Huffington

00:20:02.860 fucking

00:20:03.500 Post?

00:20:04.300 Maybe people

00:20:04.900 want to

00:20:05.240 live and

00:20:06.320 not have

00:20:06.740 organ damage.

00:20:08.160 How about

00:20:08.420 those people?

00:20:09.720 You fucking

00:20:10.400 pieces of

00:20:11.520 shit.

00:20:13.520 Now, I'm

00:20:14.180 not saying

00:20:14.520 that hydroxychloroquine

00:20:15.540 works, but

00:20:17.140 I am telling

00:20:17.680 you that if

00:20:18.240 somebody told

00:20:18.940 you it

00:20:19.220 doesn't work

00:20:19.840 just to

00:20:20.400 embarrass the

00:20:21.040 president,

00:20:22.540 those people

00:20:24.080 are not

00:20:24.580 good human

00:20:25.120 beings.

00:20:25.860 They're just

00:20:26.240 not.

00:20:29.060 There's a

00:20:29.720 video going

00:20:30.260 around of

00:20:31.280 two doctors.

00:20:32.300 I don't

00:20:32.500 remember their

00:20:32.920 names.

00:20:33.300 You've probably

00:20:33.680 all seen it by

00:20:34.280 now.

00:20:35.000 It's everywhere.

00:20:35.840 There are two

00:20:36.180 doctors.

00:20:37.240 One of them is

00:20:37.960 doing most of

00:20:38.520 the talking,

00:20:39.280 and he's making,

00:20:40.520 in general,

00:20:40.940 the point that

00:20:42.200 we've overdone

00:20:43.040 this economic

00:20:43.820 lockdown, and he

00:20:45.600 goes through his

00:20:46.320 reasoning and

00:20:47.080 his numbers

00:20:47.580 and his

00:20:47.960 data for

00:20:49.300 why we've

00:20:52.060 gone too

00:20:52.460 far with

00:20:52.880 the lockdown

00:20:53.320 and we

00:20:54.140 should maybe

00:20:55.560 loosen that

00:20:57.740 up.

00:20:59.020 And I

00:21:00.140 can't tell

00:21:00.560 you how many

00:21:00.920 people sent

00:21:01.520 me the

00:21:01.820 video to

00:21:03.280 get my

00:21:03.660 opinion on

00:21:04.260 it.

00:21:05.580 And I

00:21:06.280 looked at it

00:21:06.820 quickly, you

00:21:07.640 know, the

00:21:07.840 first time I

00:21:08.700 saw it, and

00:21:09.780 I had a

00:21:11.440 preliminary

00:21:11.840 opinion, but

00:21:13.240 because I

00:21:14.280 knew it

00:21:14.560 would be so

00:21:15.040 unpopular, I

00:21:15.920 kind of held

00:21:16.580 back on it.

00:21:18.280 But more

00:21:18.920 people sent

00:21:19.520 me the

00:21:19.780 video, what

00:21:20.320 do you

00:21:20.480 think, what

00:21:20.820 do you

00:21:20.980 think, what

00:21:21.320 do you

00:21:21.460 think, and

00:21:21.880 I thought,

00:21:22.240 all right, I'll

00:21:23.320 spend a little

00:21:23.820 time looking at

00:21:24.560 this video.

00:21:26.060 I got through

00:21:27.100 five minutes

00:21:28.000 of it.

00:21:29.720 In five

00:21:30.500 minutes, just

00:21:32.740 in my opinion,

00:21:33.720 and I know

00:21:34.140 your opinion

00:21:34.560 will vary, in

00:21:35.260 five minutes, it

00:21:36.460 was so

00:21:36.860 obviously full

00:21:39.100 of shit that

00:21:40.640 I couldn't

00:21:41.060 watch the

00:21:41.520 rest.

00:21:41.860 There's no

00:21:42.460 way that the

00:21:43.120 rest of it

00:21:43.740 could redeem

00:21:44.960 what is so

00:21:45.880 amazingly bad

00:21:47.480 in the

00:21:47.740 analysis and

00:21:49.080 misinformed in

00:21:49.920 the first five

00:21:50.520 minutes, that I

00:21:51.740 would recommend

00:21:52.360 that you discount

00:21:53.320 everything in

00:21:54.060 it.

00:21:54.760 Unfortunately, I

00:21:55.580 think it's an

00:21:56.020 example of a

00:21:57.160 video that

00:21:58.260 agrees with what

00:21:59.180 you wanted it

00:21:59.860 to say.

00:22:00.940 So it just

00:22:01.880 happens to be

00:22:02.480 exactly what

00:22:03.420 you wanted it

00:22:03.880 to hear, but

00:22:05.440 it is the

00:22:06.020 most confused,

00:22:08.220 bad analysis,

00:22:10.320 and even I

00:22:11.240 can tell that

00:22:11.900 they're missing

00:22:13.540 big things, and

00:22:15.000 I shouldn't be

00:22:15.500 able to tell

00:22:15.920 that so

00:22:16.300 easily.

00:22:16.920 It is the

00:22:17.520 least credible

00:22:18.240 thing I've

00:22:18.740 ever seen.

00:22:20.040 Well, except

00:22:20.480 for the

00:22:20.780 Huffington

00:22:21.120 Post and

00:22:22.600 whatever Davey

00:22:24.560 Elba's doing

00:22:25.120 today.

00:22:26.760 But I

00:22:27.440 would give

00:22:28.000 it no

00:22:28.220 credibility, and

00:22:29.180 I'll just

00:22:29.600 point out a

00:22:30.280 few problems

00:22:31.040 with it.

00:22:32.780 One is he

00:22:33.500 does this

00:22:33.940 calculation based

00:22:34.960 on how many

00:22:36.220 people tested

00:22:37.280 positive in

00:22:40.280 various tests

00:22:41.340 that have

00:22:41.560 been given,

00:22:42.300 and he

00:22:42.560 makes the

00:22:42.960 mistake of

00:22:44.280 assuming that

00:22:44.940 that tells

00:22:45.400 you something.

00:22:46.860 And his

00:22:47.440 partner, who

00:22:48.100 was off

00:22:48.460 camera at

00:22:48.880 the time, is

00:22:49.280 trying to

00:22:49.660 correct him

00:22:50.220 in real time

00:22:50.860 because he's

00:22:51.640 just being

00:22:52.020 really, really

00:22:52.620 stupid.

00:22:53.860 And the

00:22:54.220 partner is

00:22:54.580 saying, well,

00:22:54.980 that's just the

00:22:56.340 people who had

00:22:57.480 symptoms.

00:22:58.960 They're the

00:22:59.440 ones who got

00:22:59.860 tested.

00:23:00.420 So if a lot

00:23:01.140 of them seem

00:23:02.360 to test

00:23:02.720 positive, that

00:23:03.580 doesn't actually

00:23:04.180 tell you what's

00:23:04.720 happening in the

00:23:05.280 rest of the

00:23:05.700 public because

00:23:06.760 these are just

00:23:07.300 the people

00:23:07.700 who self-selected

00:23:08.780 because they

00:23:10.120 thought they

00:23:10.500 had symptoms.

00:23:11.060 So of course,

00:23:12.220 you'd expect to

00:23:13.260 find a lot of

00:23:13.940 them in the

00:23:14.800 self-selected

00:23:15.640 group.

00:23:16.500 So his friend

00:23:17.260 who's being

00:23:17.700 embarrassed by

00:23:18.500 the guy who's

00:23:18.940 talking, because

00:23:20.000 the guy who's

00:23:20.380 talking doesn't

00:23:21.020 seem to be able

00:23:21.700 to even

00:23:22.200 understand that

00:23:23.020 distinction,

00:23:24.040 keeps on

00:23:24.600 talking like

00:23:25.160 that had never

00:23:25.700 been said.

00:23:27.240 Other things

00:23:28.080 he gets wrong

00:23:29.440 is that he

00:23:30.220 completely ignores

00:23:31.280 the observation.

00:23:34.660 Forget about

00:23:35.240 the math.

00:23:35.880 if Wuhan had

00:23:37.860 to be closed

00:23:38.480 down and the

00:23:40.460 New York

00:23:40.740 hospitals were

00:23:41.560 crashed and

00:23:42.360 Italy got

00:23:43.120 crashed, you

00:23:44.320 don't need to

00:23:44.940 run the numbers

00:23:45.740 to know that

00:23:46.300 there's something

00:23:46.740 going on that

00:23:47.880 you don't want

00:23:48.500 in your house.

00:23:49.940 And he just

00:23:50.740 ignores them like

00:23:52.020 that doesn't have

00:23:52.720 to be explained.

00:23:54.480 Then he does

00:23:55.140 the bad math

00:23:55.980 of saying that

00:23:59.400 maybe the total

00:24:00.240 number of dead

00:24:00.780 won't be that

00:24:01.400 much compared

00:24:02.500 to the regular

00:24:03.160 flu, which of

00:24:04.400 course is just

00:24:04.940 bad analysis

00:24:05.780 bad math

00:24:06.640 comparing the

00:24:07.280 wrong things.

00:24:08.380 Here's the

00:24:09.000 path we're on.

00:24:10.540 Correct me

00:24:11.000 if I'm wrong.

00:24:12.260 If the next

00:24:13.160 thing I say

00:24:13.600 is wrong,

00:24:14.800 please correct

00:24:15.540 me because

00:24:16.220 it's important

00:24:16.820 and if I have

00:24:17.480 this wrong,

00:24:18.020 I certainly

00:24:18.380 want to know.

00:24:20.540 And it

00:24:21.120 goes like

00:24:21.500 this.

00:24:22.620 Current

00:24:23.100 death rate

00:24:23.620 is about

00:24:23.960 54,000

00:24:25.160 ish,

00:24:26.500 probably higher

00:24:27.200 today.

00:24:27.880 We're losing

00:24:28.500 about 2,000

00:24:29.400 a day in the

00:24:30.120 United States.

00:24:31.780 Correct any

00:24:32.280 of this

00:24:32.560 that's wrong.

00:24:33.060 And I'm

00:24:34.400 just talking

00:24:34.780 general terms.

00:24:35.820 So 50

00:24:36.600 something thousand

00:24:37.400 dead,

00:24:38.600 2,000

00:24:39.380 something a

00:24:40.000 day.

00:24:40.660 Our goal

00:24:41.680 is to

00:24:44.020 flatten the

00:24:44.520 curve because

00:24:45.520 we know we

00:24:46.100 can't drive it

00:24:46.700 to zero.

00:24:47.940 Flatten the

00:24:48.400 curve means

00:24:49.020 keep it at

00:24:50.000 2,000 a

00:24:50.760 day dead

00:24:51.260 for as long

00:24:52.500 as we can

00:24:53.100 until something

00:24:54.560 changes.

00:24:55.700 Right?

00:24:56.260 So if it

00:24:57.240 goes above

00:24:57.780 2,000 we'll

00:24:58.680 consider maybe

00:25:00.200 doing a little

00:25:00.700 more social

00:25:01.240 isolating.

00:25:02.160 If it goes

00:25:02.800 below maybe

00:25:03.560 we'll open

00:25:04.080 up some

00:25:04.460 things until

00:25:05.000 it goes

00:25:05.280 back to

00:25:05.660 2,000 because

00:25:07.000 apparently

00:25:07.380 2,000 a

00:25:08.160 day is

00:25:08.580 somewhere in

00:25:09.740 the range

00:25:10.140 that we're

00:25:10.480 willing to

00:25:10.900 take.

00:25:11.540 If you

00:25:12.120 multiply out

00:25:12.840 2,000 people

00:25:13.780 dead a day

00:25:14.520 with no

00:25:15.660 therapeutics

00:25:16.400 working,

00:25:17.820 with no

00:25:18.420 vaccine,

00:25:19.660 just multiply

00:25:21.200 it to the

00:25:21.740 end of

00:25:22.060 August and

00:25:23.060 you end up

00:25:23.400 with 300,000

00:25:24.280 dead.

00:25:24.620 Now, why

00:25:25.700 can't this

00:25:26.120 doctor do

00:25:26.660 math?

00:25:28.380 Now, somebody

00:25:29.600 said 1,100

00:25:30.200 yesterday.

00:25:31.340 The individual

00:25:32.680 day-to-day

00:25:33.480 variances should

00:25:35.720 not be trusted

00:25:36.540 especially if

00:25:37.840 you're looking

00:25:38.220 at a weekend.

00:25:39.340 We've seen

00:25:39.900 lots of

00:25:40.340 evidence that

00:25:40.920 the weekend

00:25:41.360 number of

00:25:41.880 deaths are

00:25:42.420 way lower

00:25:43.420 because they

00:25:44.660 just haven't

00:25:45.100 been recorded

00:25:45.940 because fewer

00:25:46.600 people are

00:25:47.060 working on

00:25:47.480 the weekend.

00:25:48.580 So ignore

00:25:49.220 any Sunday

00:25:50.060 and Saturday

00:25:50.800 numbers.

00:25:51.420 Just look at

00:25:51.860 the weekday.

00:25:52.320 So the

00:25:55.060 doctors seem

00:25:55.600 to be

00:25:56.000 ignorant of

00:25:57.240 how to

00:25:57.520 just multiply

00:25:58.180 unless he

00:26:00.580 knows something

00:26:01.040 I don't.

00:26:02.240 If flatten

00:26:02.800 the curve,

00:26:04.000 what can it

00:26:04.620 mean other

00:26:05.040 than we're

00:26:05.460 going to

00:26:05.660 accept a

00:26:06.740 certain flat

00:26:08.240 number of

00:26:08.720 deaths per

00:26:09.160 day?

00:26:09.920 That's what

00:26:10.420 it means,

00:26:10.880 right?

00:26:11.280 Correct me

00:26:11.820 if I'm

00:26:12.120 wrong.

00:26:12.980 By the way,

00:26:13.480 if I'm

00:26:13.800 wrong about

00:26:14.220 that, I

00:26:14.540 really, really

00:26:15.080 want to

00:26:15.420 know.

00:26:16.640 Because

00:26:16.820 somebody says

00:26:18.860 2,000 a

00:26:19.640 day will

00:26:19.940 drop off

00:26:20.560 very fast.

00:26:21.360 That is

00:26:22.460 the opposite

00:26:23.040 of true.

00:26:24.700 The 2,000 a

00:26:25.620 day should

00:26:26.040 increase, not

00:26:26.840 decrease, because

00:26:27.880 the whole point

00:26:28.640 is we're going

00:26:29.160 to reopen the

00:26:29.800 economy.

00:26:30.860 Reopening the

00:26:31.620 economy is

00:26:32.320 designed to

00:26:33.200 keep to 2,000

00:26:34.200 at 2,000.

00:26:35.260 It's not

00:26:35.920 designed to

00:26:36.740 drop it.

00:26:39.200 Right?

00:26:40.600 I'm not wrong

00:26:41.360 about that.

00:26:42.300 It's designed

00:26:42.920 to keep it

00:26:43.400 constant.

00:26:44.100 That's what

00:26:44.520 flatten the

00:26:46.380 curve means.

00:26:46.980 flattened

00:26:50.200 doesn't not

00:26:51.060 mean no

00:26:52.780 peak.

00:26:53.260 It means a

00:26:53.840 lower peak.

00:26:55.800 No, flattened

00:26:56.740 means no

00:26:57.200 peak.

00:26:58.480 That's what

00:26:59.100 flattened

00:26:59.500 means.

00:27:01.920 I mean, it

00:27:03.300 peaks at the

00:27:03.940 flat part and

00:27:04.740 then just keeps

00:27:05.340 continuing.

00:27:06.880 All right.

00:27:08.900 So here are

00:27:09.680 some other

00:27:10.000 things that the

00:27:10.780 doctor in that

00:27:11.960 video didn't

00:27:13.440 know.

00:27:14.200 So he used

00:27:14.840 Sweden as his

00:27:15.740 comparison.

00:27:16.940 Here's the way

00:27:17.720 to know who

00:27:18.880 you should not

00:27:19.640 listen to again.

00:27:21.380 Anybody who

00:27:22.120 uses Sweden as

00:27:23.340 a comparison for

00:27:25.060 what we should do

00:27:25.780 in the United

00:27:26.200 States, that

00:27:27.500 should be your

00:27:28.280 red flag not to

00:27:29.240 listen to anything

00:27:29.900 else they say.

00:27:32.120 Now, if that's

00:27:32.660 not obvious to

00:27:33.420 you, I'll dig

00:27:34.380 down a little bit

00:27:35.060 more.

00:27:36.020 The reason is we

00:27:36.820 can't tell what's

00:27:37.540 different about

00:27:38.200 Sweden from here.

00:27:40.340 There are lots of

00:27:41.180 things different and

00:27:41.960 we don't know what

00:27:42.500 the active ingredient

00:27:43.480 is, nor do we

00:27:44.980 even know if they

00:27:45.620 have good data.

00:27:46.880 Given that every

00:27:47.820 data we've seen on

00:27:48.800 the coronavirus has

00:27:49.700 been wrong,

00:27:50.600 everything, everything

00:27:51.940 about the coronavirus

00:27:52.680 has been wrong.

00:27:54.080 Do you believe any

00:27:54.900 data coming out of

00:27:55.740 Sweden?

00:27:56.880 Why would you?

00:27:58.120 Why would you

00:27:58.680 believe any data out

00:27:59.600 of Sweden?

00:28:00.760 Don't.

00:28:02.340 Right?

00:28:02.920 Now, it might be

00:28:03.840 true, but we

00:28:04.940 shouldn't believe it.

00:28:06.120 So if you're basing

00:28:06.940 your decision on

00:28:07.740 some data that

00:28:09.060 came out of a

00:28:09.640 country, I don't

00:28:10.780 care what country

00:28:11.480 it is.

00:28:12.460 It's all

00:28:13.060 unreliable.

00:28:14.020 All of it.

00:28:14.640 So that's the

00:28:15.480 first problem.

00:28:16.380 And if you don't

00:28:16.840 state that right

00:28:18.280 up front, you're

00:28:20.240 not a credible

00:28:20.980 player.

00:28:21.980 So if you say,

00:28:22.840 I'm going to make

00:28:23.260 a Sweden reference

00:28:24.560 and I think it's

00:28:25.720 pretty good, I

00:28:26.860 think that's a

00:28:27.660 solid comparison,

00:28:29.420 you can stop

00:28:30.340 listening to that

00:28:31.180 person.

00:28:31.940 It is not a

00:28:32.640 solid comparison.

00:28:34.060 There are too

00:28:34.540 many differences.

00:28:35.700 Here are some of

00:28:36.460 the differences or

00:28:37.280 potential differences.

00:28:38.700 One is that Sweden

00:28:39.580 is a lot easier to

00:28:41.120 social distance.

00:28:42.020 say people who

00:28:43.500 know more about

00:28:44.080 Sweden than I

00:28:44.740 do.

00:28:45.360 Apparently, a high

00:28:46.540 percentage of the

00:28:47.140 population lives

00:28:47.960 alone anyway.

00:28:49.580 They probably

00:28:50.040 don't have the

00:28:50.640 same number of

00:28:51.260 elevators.

00:28:52.180 They have a

00:28:52.660 different society.

00:28:54.020 A lot of people

00:28:54.460 have summer homes.

00:28:55.860 They can just

00:28:56.300 divide into summer

00:28:57.400 homes.

00:28:59.140 The numbers

00:28:59.900 probably aren't

00:29:00.500 true.

00:29:01.200 Then here's the

00:29:01.740 biggest fact that

00:29:02.760 I haven't seen

00:29:03.740 reported, which is

00:29:04.820 something I saw on

00:29:05.440 social media, from

00:29:07.020 somebody who has

00:29:07.900 direct knowledge of

00:29:09.440 Sweden.

00:29:10.400 Even though they

00:29:11.420 haven't ordered a

00:29:12.300 lockdown, the

00:29:14.060 citizens are afraid,

00:29:15.400 just like everywhere

00:29:16.140 else.

00:29:17.100 So they have a

00:29:18.500 virtual lockdown in

00:29:20.080 Sweden, because even

00:29:21.560 if the haircutting

00:29:22.460 salon is open,

00:29:24.360 they're not getting

00:29:25.520 the same amount of

00:29:26.480 business.

00:29:27.260 So they're in a

00:29:28.180 virtual shutdown,

00:29:29.840 which should be more

00:29:31.260 comparable to our

00:29:32.640 actual shutdown than

00:29:34.280 it is to something

00:29:35.080 that's totally

00:29:35.660 different, and

00:29:36.300 therefore a good

00:29:36.940 comparison.

00:29:37.400 So, if Sweden is

00:29:40.280 your comparison, say

00:29:43.020 no more.

00:29:43.640 There's nothing else

00:29:44.300 I need to listen

00:29:44.940 to.

00:29:45.560 I do think it's

00:29:46.700 useful to look at

00:29:47.620 all the examples.

00:29:49.180 If you saw several

00:29:51.380 countries that seem

00:29:52.540 to have a lot in

00:29:53.280 common with Sweden

00:29:54.240 in the ways that

00:29:56.040 seem to be important

00:29:57.000 and they all had a

00:29:57.920 similar outcome,

00:29:59.540 then I'd say,

00:30:00.240 okay, that's

00:30:00.840 beginning to look

00:30:01.640 like that's telling

00:30:02.420 you something.

00:30:03.500 But if you pick

00:30:04.180 one country and

00:30:06.040 say, well,

00:30:06.680 they got a

00:30:07.780 different result

00:30:08.360 in this one

00:30:09.060 country, so

00:30:10.540 there shouldn't

00:30:11.880 be anything

00:30:12.240 after so.

00:30:13.740 All you know

00:30:14.440 is they got a

00:30:14.920 different result

00:30:15.540 and you don't

00:30:16.220 even know that

00:30:16.840 because you

00:30:17.180 can't trust the

00:30:17.840 data.

00:30:18.580 All right.

00:30:20.080 So don't

00:30:20.760 trust that video

00:30:21.820 is what I'm

00:30:22.280 saying, just

00:30:22.780 because it

00:30:23.200 agrees with what

00:30:23.900 you want it to

00:30:24.540 say.

00:30:28.360 Let's see.

00:30:29.340 There's a real

00:30:30.320 interesting situation.

00:30:31.780 I think CNN

00:30:32.600 was reporting on

00:30:33.460 this.

00:30:33.640 There's a

00:30:34.680 barbershop in

00:30:36.000 Colorado that

00:30:37.460 is going to

00:30:38.340 open up against

00:30:39.900 the governor's

00:30:41.300 wishes.

00:30:42.560 Now, I'm a

00:30:43.460 little unclear

00:30:44.100 about guidelines

00:30:45.820 versus laws.

00:30:48.280 Like, I don't

00:30:48.740 know exactly

00:30:49.360 where these

00:30:50.000 economic shutdown

00:30:51.700 guidelines sit in

00:30:54.940 terms of how

00:30:55.580 enforceable they

00:30:56.500 are or

00:30:57.020 unenforceable.

00:30:57.780 It's sort of a

00:30:58.740 gray area.

00:30:59.260 But this is

00:31:00.440 going to be a

00:31:00.820 good test case

00:31:01.700 because apparently

00:31:02.340 there are

00:31:03.000 conflicting

00:31:03.760 guidelines from

00:31:06.820 this barbershop's

00:31:08.620 county, which

00:31:10.080 the county would

00:31:10.900 suggest it would

00:31:11.540 be okay to open

00:31:12.260 up if they do

00:31:12.880 the right things,

00:31:13.680 which they have

00:31:14.160 done.

00:31:14.940 But the governor

00:31:15.940 directly says don't

00:31:17.480 open up because

00:31:19.320 the state's

00:31:19.940 guidelines are, you

00:31:21.060 know, a little

00:31:21.540 bit different than

00:31:22.200 the county.

00:31:23.260 So it looks like

00:31:24.180 this barbershop is

00:31:25.080 going to try to

00:31:25.740 open up anyway,

00:31:26.540 and we'll see what

00:31:27.200 happens.

00:31:27.560 Now, this is an

00:31:29.000 interesting test

00:31:29.680 case because I

00:31:30.800 was saying in my

00:31:31.560 periscope last

00:31:32.700 night that

00:31:34.000 individuals and

00:31:36.520 individuals can

00:31:37.640 easily do social

00:31:40.460 disobedience.

00:31:42.040 If you said to

00:31:43.100 individuals, hey,

00:31:44.240 let's all just go to

00:31:45.120 the beach and let's

00:31:46.180 go to a protest,

00:31:47.220 you can get that

00:31:48.120 going pretty easily.

00:31:49.220 And the number of

00:31:50.080 individuals can

00:31:51.180 easily overwhelm

00:31:53.320 any law

00:31:55.380 enforcement.

00:31:56.300 So that's a

00:31:56.880 thing.

00:31:57.160 that can happen.

00:31:58.840 But what I think

00:31:59.760 can't happen is

00:32:01.440 businesses using

00:32:03.040 social disobedience

00:32:04.500 because businesses

00:32:06.000 are sort of

00:32:06.660 trapped.

00:32:08.040 Everybody knows

00:32:08.680 who they are.

00:32:10.240 They can't run

00:32:11.260 away.

00:32:12.060 We know their

00:32:12.480 identity.

00:32:13.700 There are a hundred

00:32:14.160 ways for a government

00:32:15.180 to hurt a business.

00:32:16.620 It's just too much

00:32:17.700 of a risk for a

00:32:19.460 business to risk

00:32:21.500 its entire future

00:32:23.340 to open up if the

00:32:25.400 governor is telling

00:32:26.260 you they're going

00:32:26.780 to send the

00:32:27.220 police or I

00:32:28.280 don't know.

00:32:28.960 What the hell are

00:32:29.580 they going to do?

00:32:30.700 Something bad.

00:32:32.280 You know, you got

00:32:33.140 to think that the

00:32:33.820 government could

00:32:34.460 find enough

00:32:35.320 levers to shut

00:32:36.980 down an individual

00:32:37.900 business, small

00:32:39.240 business especially.

00:32:40.080 And the big

00:32:41.160 businesses won't

00:32:41.920 take the chance.

00:32:43.180 I don't think you'll

00:32:43.860 see a Fortune 500

00:32:44.860 company bucking the

00:32:47.100 government and

00:32:47.680 opening.

00:32:47.980 So I think the

00:32:50.060 government has a

00:32:52.160 total lock on

00:32:54.400 keeping the economy

00:32:55.240 closed as long as

00:32:56.780 it wants.

00:32:57.880 And here I'm

00:32:58.300 talking about the

00:32:58.940 governors in

00:32:59.620 particular.

00:33:00.420 If the governors

00:33:01.200 want you not to

00:33:02.160 open, I don't

00:33:03.000 think you're doing

00:33:03.560 it, even if you

00:33:04.380 think you can do

00:33:05.240 social obedience.

00:33:06.600 I just don't know

00:33:07.440 there's a practical

00:33:08.220 way to do it.

00:33:09.040 It's too risky for a

00:33:10.520 small business.

00:33:14.200 Here's a one-dimensional

00:33:17.460 thinker.

00:33:19.620 Brian Cranston, famous

00:33:22.000 actor, you know him

00:33:24.140 from Breaking Bad, he

00:33:25.360 tweeted the other

00:33:26.080 day, or yesterday,

00:33:27.640 I've stopped worrying

00:33:28.540 about the president's

00:33:29.660 sanity.

00:33:30.680 He's not sane.

00:33:31.820 So he's determined

00:33:33.040 with all of his

00:33:33.880 medical credentials that

00:33:35.740 the president is not

00:33:36.680 sane.

00:33:37.820 The 64-year-old actor

00:33:39.760 wrote, and then he

00:33:41.420 goes on, and the

00:33:42.260 realization of his

00:33:43.200 illness doesn't fill

00:33:44.380 me with anger, but

00:33:45.860 with profound sadness.

00:33:47.460 What I now worry

00:33:49.060 about is the sanity

00:33:50.400 of anyone who can

00:33:51.440 still support this

00:33:52.560 deeply troubled man

00:33:53.840 to lead our country.

00:33:56.480 So, Brian Cranston,

00:33:59.600 I ask you this

00:34:01.020 question.

00:34:02.540 Have you noticed

00:34:03.560 that the people who

00:34:04.420 voted for the

00:34:05.140 president are quite

00:34:07.180 happy that he

00:34:08.920 delivered, or is

00:34:10.260 trying hard to

00:34:11.000 deliver, exactly what

00:34:12.460 they wanted?

00:34:12.900 president?

00:34:14.100 So, Brian Cranston

00:34:16.500 isn't insane for a

00:34:18.580 conservative to say,

00:34:19.800 you know, I'd like

00:34:20.960 some conservative

00:34:21.740 judges.

00:34:22.780 Let's see if this

00:34:23.660 President Trump can

00:34:24.500 get me some.

00:34:25.320 Yes, he can.

00:34:26.540 He can get you a lot

00:34:27.720 of conservative

00:34:28.280 judges.

00:34:30.720 If a conservative

00:34:31.680 said, I'd like to

00:34:32.560 negotiate harder with

00:34:33.840 China, did they get

00:34:35.580 that?

00:34:35.920 Yes.

00:34:37.060 Did they get a lot

00:34:38.660 more, at least,

00:34:39.360 energy around trying to

00:34:40.960 shut the border?

00:34:41.640 I mean, it's hard, but

00:34:43.420 they got all the

00:34:44.060 energy in the world.

00:34:45.060 I mean, Trump is not

00:34:45.760 backing down one bit.

00:34:47.440 He's like the

00:34:48.360 energizer buddy.

00:34:49.420 He's not getting many

00:34:50.260 miles of wall built,

00:34:52.460 but certainly the

00:34:53.560 conservatives are

00:34:54.280 getting more wall

00:34:55.100 from him than they

00:34:55.820 would from the

00:34:56.260 alternative.

00:34:59.000 So, what exactly

00:35:00.560 would make the

00:35:01.900 conservatives crazy

00:35:03.120 if they started out

00:35:05.580 with saying, here's

00:35:06.180 my list of things I

00:35:07.360 want?

00:35:08.380 Do you see my

00:35:09.180 list?

00:35:10.040 These are all the

00:35:10.600 things I want from

00:35:11.520 a president, and

00:35:12.660 then they elected

00:35:13.280 a president, and

00:35:14.860 then the president

00:35:15.440 started going down

00:35:16.360 the list.

00:35:17.460 Check, here's your

00:35:18.380 judges.

00:35:19.580 Check, here's your

00:35:20.380 tax cut.

00:35:21.540 Check, here's your

00:35:22.240 less regulations.

00:35:23.680 Check, here's your

00:35:24.520 China negotiations.

00:35:26.160 Check, I started

00:35:26.900 the wall.

00:35:27.400 It's hard.

00:35:28.520 I mean, I'm going

00:35:29.540 to be, like, you

00:35:31.060 know, pushing and

00:35:31.780 pushing on every

00:35:32.580 mile of this wall,

00:35:33.740 but you watch me

00:35:34.840 working on it.

00:35:36.040 I promised, and I'm

00:35:37.240 doing it.

00:35:38.020 I'm working on that

00:35:38.860 wall.

00:35:39.260 You can see it

00:35:39.800 yourself.

00:35:40.920 It's not as good

00:35:41.600 as any of us want,

00:35:42.500 but I'm getting

00:35:43.660 there.

00:35:44.360 So, what does

00:35:45.260 Bryan Cranston

00:35:46.180 see that makes

00:35:48.380 him blind to the

00:35:49.380 fact that among

00:35:50.980 the people who

00:35:51.620 voted for Trump,

00:35:53.300 he has something

00:35:54.200 like plus 90%

00:35:55.700 approval?

00:35:56.720 How do you not

00:35:57.580 see that?

00:35:58.780 Is it crazy to

00:36:01.060 have a list of

00:36:01.800 things you want,

00:36:03.520 elect somebody who

00:36:04.500 gives you all the

00:36:05.300 things on the list,

00:36:06.860 and then to say,

00:36:07.800 well, maybe we

00:36:08.460 should do some

00:36:09.060 more of this,

00:36:09.900 because it

00:36:10.480 worked the first

00:36:11.100 time.

00:36:14.180 That's weird.

00:36:18.980 So, I would

00:36:19.660 call Bryan

00:36:20.120 Cranston a

00:36:20.820 one-dimensional

00:36:21.600 thinker.

00:36:22.240 I don't think he's

00:36:22.880 even gotten to the

00:36:23.740 second dimension,

00:36:25.060 where he can

00:36:25.820 imagine that other

00:36:26.700 people have

00:36:28.200 priorities and

00:36:29.280 preferences, and

00:36:30.700 they've figured out

00:36:31.360 a way to achieve

00:36:32.100 them.

00:36:32.320 The big news on

00:36:36.780 Fox News, which

00:36:38.860 they can't let go

00:36:40.040 of, and they

00:36:41.280 shouldn't, because

00:36:42.120 it's important, is

00:36:43.860 that Joe Biden is

00:36:44.740 getting a total

00:36:45.780 pass from the

00:36:47.820 left-leaning

00:36:48.800 media on the

00:36:50.120 allegations, the

00:36:51.040 Me Too

00:36:51.320 allegations, and it

00:36:52.700 really is conspicuous

00:36:54.200 now.

00:36:55.200 You know, for a

00:36:55.840 while, for a

00:36:57.300 little while, I

00:36:58.240 was telling myself,

00:36:59.900 okay, maybe they

00:37:01.220 think there's

00:37:01.720 something different

00:37:02.480 about these

00:37:03.120 allegations, you

00:37:04.720 know, maybe they

00:37:05.300 think there's

00:37:05.760 something especially

00:37:06.820 non-credible about

00:37:08.320 them, so that's

00:37:09.940 where they're

00:37:10.300 laying off.

00:37:11.420 Maybe they're

00:37:12.360 really looking at

00:37:13.000 the big picture.

00:37:14.220 Maybe they're

00:37:14.620 saying, well, you

00:37:15.420 know, President

00:37:15.920 Trump has

00:37:16.520 accusations, Biden

00:37:18.200 has accusations,

00:37:19.380 oh, it's a tie.

00:37:21.500 But I don't think

00:37:22.260 any of that's

00:37:22.800 happening.

00:37:23.920 It appears to

00:37:24.760 be that the

00:37:26.820 left-leaning

00:37:27.460 media is just

00:37:28.640 not even trying

00:37:29.440 to be news

00:37:30.460 anymore,

00:37:30.860 because if

00:37:32.100 this isn't

00:37:32.620 news, what

00:37:33.840 the hell is

00:37:34.300 news?

00:37:35.220 I don't know

00:37:35.960 what news is

00:37:36.740 if this isn't

00:37:37.920 news.

00:37:40.580 All right.

00:37:43.140 So, anyway, we

00:37:44.960 watch with

00:37:45.520 fascination as

00:37:46.580 the news

00:37:47.120 business becomes

00:37:48.180 the hiding the

00:37:49.820 news business

00:37:50.520 because here you're

00:37:52.180 seeing the, we've

00:37:53.400 seen, let's see,

00:37:54.260 the New York

00:37:54.600 Times is removing

00:37:55.620 actual news, at

00:37:57.620 least one employee

00:37:58.300 of it, of a

00:37:59.340 technology that's

00:38:00.380 vital to the

00:38:01.460 conversation.

00:38:03.500 We don't know

00:38:03.860 if it's vital to

00:38:04.640 the solution yet.

00:38:07.920 We see

00:38:08.620 Huffington Post

00:38:09.360 literally just

00:38:10.060 making up news

00:38:11.020 to try to

00:38:12.620 cancel out the

00:38:13.520 real news.

00:38:16.160 Is the news

00:38:17.080 even news

00:38:17.660 anymore?

00:38:18.560 It seems like

00:38:19.320 the news, at

00:38:20.820 least half of

00:38:21.640 their work, is

00:38:23.020 to remove

00:38:23.700 information that's

00:38:24.760 good that's

00:38:25.280 already gotten

00:38:25.740 out there.

00:38:26.760 It's like

00:38:27.240 they've stopped,

00:38:29.440 they've gone to

00:38:30.060 whatever is the

00:38:30.600 next level.

00:38:31.560 You know, the

00:38:32.180 first level is,

00:38:33.400 well, we used

00:38:34.560 to think the

00:38:35.100 news was

00:38:35.520 credible, but

00:38:36.840 then the first

00:38:37.380 level of badness

00:38:38.240 is that some

00:38:38.820 of the news is

00:38:39.460 fake.

00:38:40.400 So now you're

00:38:41.120 like, ah, it's

00:38:41.780 hard to tell.

00:38:43.040 Some of it's

00:38:43.660 fake, some of

00:38:44.420 it's real.

00:38:45.720 You know, what

00:38:46.080 am I going to

00:38:46.460 do as a

00:38:46.960 consumer?

00:38:47.380 I can't tell.

00:38:48.380 So that's the

00:38:49.060 first level of

00:38:49.820 badness.

00:38:50.760 But it feels

00:38:52.340 that they've

00:38:52.760 gone to the

00:38:53.260 next level,

00:38:54.360 which is they're

00:38:55.260 making up stuff

00:38:56.000 that didn't

00:38:56.380 happen, Russia

00:38:57.560 collusion, etc.

00:38:59.940 President

00:39:00.380 advising people

00:39:02.620 to inject

00:39:04.440 disinfectants,

00:39:06.140 things that

00:39:06.600 literally they

00:39:07.120 just made up.

00:39:08.400 All right, that's

00:39:08.740 bad enough.

00:39:09.500 But now they've

00:39:10.080 gone to the

00:39:10.540 next level where

00:39:11.740 they're trying to

00:39:12.300 actually remove

00:39:13.860 the true news,

00:39:15.840 the stuff that's

00:39:16.420 already out there

00:39:17.780 that is true.

00:39:19.740 They're trying to

00:39:20.520 claw it back so

00:39:22.080 that there's

00:39:22.520 nothing left.

00:39:23.240 So they're no

00:39:24.340 longer happy

00:39:24.940 with, well, we

00:39:25.540 got some true

00:39:26.080 news, we got

00:39:26.660 some fake

00:39:27.100 news.

00:39:27.560 They can't

00:39:28.280 live in a

00:39:28.740 world where

00:39:29.540 there's also

00:39:30.180 true news.

00:39:31.700 Apparently they

00:39:32.380 can't survive

00:39:33.040 together, and

00:39:34.020 the fake news

00:39:34.660 is eating the

00:39:35.280 real news and

00:39:36.500 winning.

00:39:37.300 I mean, I

00:39:37.780 just gave you

00:39:38.240 three examples.

00:39:39.700 Huffington Post

00:39:40.540 canceled out some

00:39:41.620 probably realer

00:39:43.020 news with some

00:39:44.260 fake news, you

00:39:45.400 know, by

00:39:46.180 misreporting on

00:39:47.780 a study.

00:39:49.320 New York Times

00:39:50.000 literally had

00:39:50.700 something scrubbed

00:39:51.540 off the internet

00:39:52.100 that was important

00:39:53.620 and true.

00:39:56.620 And then the

00:39:58.480 Biden stuff is

00:39:59.220 literally just

00:39:59.780 hiding the news.

00:40:01.100 Literally just

00:40:01.680 hiding it.

00:40:03.060 So, somebody

00:40:04.960 says being paid

00:40:05.740 by zero hedge.

00:40:07.160 Scotty, my boy,

00:40:08.960 you're the dumbest

00:40:09.800 fucking guy who's

00:40:11.020 been in here

00:40:11.460 lately.

00:40:12.720 Like, do you

00:40:13.100 think that a

00:40:13.540 zero hedge and

00:40:16.060 I have some kind

00:40:16.800 of association?

00:40:18.040 Good luck with

00:40:18.860 that.

00:40:19.960 Idiot.

00:40:20.440 I like the

00:40:24.440 people who are

00:40:25.040 stupid and

00:40:26.040 condescending at

00:40:27.780 the same time.

00:40:29.380 I don't know if

00:40:30.220 anything bothers me

00:40:31.140 more than watching

00:40:32.080 somebody who is

00:40:33.540 condescendingly

00:40:34.840 smug and so

00:40:36.360 ridiculously wrong

00:40:37.640 at the same time

00:40:38.480 in public.

00:40:39.660 Like that guy?

00:40:40.940 Oh, I guess you're

00:40:42.140 getting paid by

00:40:42.680 zero hedge now,

00:40:43.520 huh, Scotty?

00:40:44.600 Huh, Scotty?

00:40:45.760 Oh, I see you.

00:40:47.100 Ugh.

00:40:47.380 Those people.

00:40:50.220 You know, as

00:40:51.120 others have

00:40:51.680 observed, I

00:40:52.400 think we're all

00:40:53.360 getting a little

00:40:53.980 cranky.

00:40:56.040 I don't know if

00:40:56.880 you've noticed.

00:40:58.900 Have you noticed

00:40:59.840 me getting crankier

00:41:00.780 with the shutdown?

00:41:02.860 Maybe a little

00:41:03.640 bit.

00:41:04.720 Maybe a little

00:41:05.420 bit.

00:41:06.320 Oh, somebody

00:41:06.740 says Davey is

00:41:07.560 female.

00:41:09.340 Oh, D-A-V-E-Y.

00:41:12.300 So, the reporter

00:41:13.620 for the New York

00:41:15.240 Times, not that

00:41:15.960 it matters.

00:41:16.960 It doesn't change

00:41:17.920 the story in any

00:41:18.620 way, but just a

00:41:19.780 correction.

00:41:21.520 Somebody is

00:41:22.240 telling me that

00:41:22.800 Davey is a

00:41:23.980 woman's name.

00:41:25.080 So, I stand

00:41:25.960 corrected.

00:41:29.640 Somebody says

00:41:30.440 there's no way

00:41:31.060 zero hedge can

00:41:32.140 afford Scott.

00:41:34.120 True.

00:41:35.600 True.

00:41:36.940 They could not

00:41:37.560 afford me if

00:41:38.100 they tried.

00:41:41.260 Somebody says

00:41:42.080 Cedars-Sinai denied

00:41:43.400 being in a trial

00:41:44.440 with that light

00:41:45.320 company.

00:41:45.760 Well, I'd need

00:41:46.320 to see that

00:41:46.800 story.

00:41:48.060 Now, if it

00:41:49.060 turns out that

00:41:50.620 that's why the

00:41:51.240 story was removed,

00:41:53.080 then I would say,

00:41:54.160 well, at least

00:41:54.540 they have, you

00:41:55.540 know, at least

00:41:56.100 they have

00:41:56.440 something there.

00:41:57.820 But, given

00:41:59.080 that the

00:41:59.540 technology, you

00:42:02.160 know, is

00:42:02.720 worth looking

00:42:03.300 at whether

00:42:04.320 that trial

00:42:04.880 happened or

00:42:05.340 not.

00:42:05.780 Because I was

00:42:06.320 talking about

00:42:06.920 the technology

00:42:07.620 before the news

00:42:08.840 of that trial

00:42:10.040 that may or

00:42:10.620 may not be

00:42:11.080 fake news

00:42:11.660 happened.

00:42:12.480 So, my

00:42:13.480 decision to

00:42:14.080 talk about

00:42:14.520 it was

00:42:14.880 independent of

00:42:15.740 whether they

00:42:16.120 had a trial

00:42:16.600 going.

00:42:17.420 If they do

00:42:18.080 have a trial

00:42:18.500 going, it's

00:42:19.800 more strength

00:42:20.440 of the case.

00:42:21.100 If they

00:42:21.320 don't, it's

00:42:22.420 the same

00:42:22.700 thing I

00:42:23.020 reported on

00:42:23.620 before that.

00:42:25.920 All right.

00:42:29.180 Let's see.

00:42:29.980 I think I had

00:42:30.440 a few more

00:42:31.420 questions on

00:42:33.460 here.

00:42:36.920 No, I

00:42:37.560 don't.

00:42:38.320 That's all I

00:42:38.920 wanted to talk

00:42:39.440 about.

00:42:42.480 somebody says,

00:42:48.060 take back

00:42:48.500 the C word.

00:42:50.300 Does that

00:42:50.980 work?

00:42:51.980 Can you

00:42:52.320 take back

00:42:52.760 words of

00:42:53.220 the past?

00:42:57.000 Oh, somebody's

00:42:58.920 pointing out

00:42:59.860 that I used

00:43:00.300 the C word

00:43:01.080 before I knew

00:43:02.400 that Devi

00:43:03.460 was female.

00:43:05.680 Oh, that'll

00:43:06.240 be fun.

00:43:07.640 Will I be

00:43:08.500 canceled today

00:43:09.420 for that?

00:43:10.080 God, I hope

00:43:10.640 so.

00:43:12.860 What would

00:43:13.520 be more

00:43:13.920 fun than

00:43:15.640 the fake

00:43:16.060 news trying

00:43:16.680 to cancel

00:43:17.240 me for

00:43:17.720 using that

00:43:18.360 word about

00:43:20.220 this particular

00:43:21.040 situation?

00:43:22.960 Oh, my God,

00:43:23.900 that would be

00:43:24.320 fun.

00:43:25.460 Please throw

00:43:26.060 me in that

00:43:26.500 briar patch.

00:43:27.660 I want to

00:43:28.240 go on, I

00:43:29.160 want to be

00:43:29.560 interviewed and

00:43:30.900 ask why I

00:43:31.640 used that

00:43:32.100 word.

00:43:33.420 Please.

00:43:33.900 please let

00:43:35.700 me be

00:43:36.020 interviewed on

00:43:37.380 live television

00:43:38.120 to explain

00:43:40.600 why I

00:43:41.400 use such

00:43:41.880 profanity in

00:43:43.400 such an

00:43:43.800 inappropriate

00:43:44.240 way.

00:43:45.120 If there's a

00:43:45.960 God in

00:43:46.360 heaven, please

00:43:48.460 put me on

00:43:48.980 CNN to

00:43:50.040 explain myself.

00:43:51.580 Please.

00:43:52.860 That's all I

00:43:53.600 ask.

00:43:55.260 All right.

00:43:58.240 The

00:43:58.880 slaughter meter

00:43:59.580 updates.

00:44:00.300 Well, I

00:44:03.620 heard there's

00:44:04.200 some kind

00:44:05.020 of, I

00:44:06.140 don't know,

00:44:06.360 digital town

00:44:07.020 hall or

00:44:07.400 something with

00:44:07.900 Kamala Harris

00:44:08.520 coming up.

00:44:10.080 And don't

00:44:12.000 worry, I'm

00:44:12.360 not taking

00:44:12.720 you back.

00:44:14.640 Trust me,

00:44:15.600 the C word

00:44:16.180 is not going

00:44:16.900 back.

00:44:17.720 That one's

00:44:18.180 out there and

00:44:19.000 it's going to

00:44:19.660 stay out

00:44:20.040 there.

00:44:23.540 Somebody

00:44:24.060 says,

00:44:24.480 talk to

00:44:24.940 Bjorn

00:44:25.380 Lomborg on

00:44:26.380 Sweden.

00:44:27.000 That is a

00:44:27.500 great idea.

00:44:29.080 That is the

00:44:29.820 best idea

00:44:30.360 of the

00:44:30.560 day.

00:44:30.880 I think I

00:44:31.260 might do

00:44:31.540 that.

00:44:35.120 Okay.

00:44:36.340 Somebody says

00:44:37.060 the UK

00:44:37.760 doesn't care

00:44:38.400 about the

00:44:38.760 C word.

00:44:39.440 I think

00:44:39.980 that's closer

00:44:41.520 to being

00:44:42.000 true than

00:44:42.660 not true.

00:44:49.540 You might

00:44:50.240 have it.

00:44:51.380 You might

00:44:51.740 have the

00:44:52.020 coronavirus.

00:44:53.320 Maybe.

00:44:57.340 Maybe.

00:44:57.920 You never

00:44:58.200 know.

00:44:58.440 I'd like

00:44:59.340 to find

00:44:59.660 out.

00:45:00.120 That's

00:45:00.340 for sure.

00:45:04.980 Interview

00:45:05.340 Trump.

00:45:05.840 I'd love

00:45:06.100 to.

00:45:06.420 All right.

00:45:06.640 I'll just

00:45:06.880 look at your

00:45:07.280 comments.

00:45:07.740 I guess I

00:45:08.040 got not

00:45:08.420 much more.

00:45:10.700 Discuss

00:45:11.060 Gavin Newsom's

00:45:12.080 $75 million

00:45:13.240 grant to

00:45:14.320 California's

00:45:15.100 undocumented

00:45:15.780 workers.

00:45:17.180 Well,

00:45:17.940 here's the

00:45:18.620 thing.

00:45:20.080 An

00:45:20.280 emergency is

00:45:21.360 emergency

00:45:21.920 rules.

00:45:22.520 what you

00:45:24.680 do in

00:45:25.000 emergency

00:45:25.500 need not

00:45:26.680 have any

00:45:27.560 direct

00:45:28.620 correlation

00:45:30.040 with what

00:45:30.660 you would

00:45:30.940 do in a

00:45:31.460 non-emergency.

00:45:32.740 In a

00:45:33.320 non-emergency,

00:45:34.380 it would

00:45:34.720 make not a

00:45:35.340 lot of

00:45:35.560 sense to

00:45:36.580 willingly give

00:45:37.900 your money

00:45:38.300 and resources

00:45:38.940 to people

00:45:40.120 who are not

00:45:41.020 citizens,

00:45:42.360 because doing

00:45:43.120 so,

00:45:43.580 more people

00:45:45.060 will come

00:45:45.460 in.

00:45:46.200 But that's

00:45:46.940 not really

00:45:47.260 the situation.

00:45:48.300 In the

00:45:48.580 situation of

00:45:49.260 an emergency,

00:45:49.860 we're not

00:45:51.160 really worried

00:45:51.880 about people

00:45:53.100 being attracted

00:45:53.780 into the

00:45:54.240 country,

00:45:55.380 because the

00:45:56.500 borders kind

00:45:57.140 of locked

00:45:57.440 down,

00:45:57.960 etc.

00:45:58.660 And whatever

00:45:59.360 we do during

00:46:00.100 the emergency

00:46:00.760 would be known

00:46:01.660 to be temporary,

00:46:03.060 so it's not

00:46:03.780 going to have

00:46:04.080 some lasting

00:46:04.660 effect on

00:46:05.260 whether people

00:46:05.760 come into

00:46:06.200 the country.

00:46:07.240 So,

00:46:08.000 given that

00:46:08.800 because it's

00:46:09.700 an emergency,

00:46:10.540 it's not some

00:46:11.040 kind of a

00:46:11.620 standard that

00:46:12.500 we would have

00:46:12.980 to necessarily

00:46:13.620 worry about

00:46:14.200 forever,

00:46:15.560 does it make

00:46:16.400 sense to

00:46:16.920 save people's

00:46:17.780 lives who

00:46:19.020 happen to be

00:46:19.580 physically in

00:46:20.320 the country,

00:46:21.340 but not

00:46:21.800 legally?

00:46:22.960 And the

00:46:23.360 answer is,

00:46:23.940 of course.

00:46:25.160 Of course.

00:46:26.260 And can you

00:46:26.800 do it without

00:46:27.280 money?

00:46:28.460 You can't.

00:46:29.880 Am I happy

00:46:30.640 that people

00:46:32.040 who came

00:46:32.400 into the

00:46:32.780 country would

00:46:34.040 benefit from

00:46:34.860 some of my

00:46:35.460 money being

00:46:35.940 given to

00:46:36.400 them?

00:46:36.720 Well,

00:46:37.160 conceptually,

00:46:38.300 no.

00:46:39.780 Politically,

00:46:40.420 no.

00:46:41.620 In terms of

00:46:42.580 a long-term

00:46:43.300 trend,

00:46:43.920 absolutely not,

00:46:45.700 because it

00:46:46.460 would encourage

00:46:46.980 more people to

00:46:47.700 come in and

00:46:48.120 take my money

00:46:48.780 until I had

00:46:49.280 none left.

00:46:50.000 Same with

00:46:50.460 you.

00:46:51.240 But we're

00:46:51.980 not talking

00:46:52.380 about a

00:46:52.660 long-term

00:46:53.120 situation.

00:46:54.720 We're talking

00:46:55.180 about an

00:46:55.820 emergency,

00:46:56.660 and we're

00:46:57.120 talking about

00:46:57.640 money that

00:46:58.100 doesn't exist.

00:47:00.360 If you said,

00:47:02.160 Scott, I would

00:47:02.760 like to take

00:47:03.200 some of your

00:47:03.760 money, your

00:47:04.260 tax money,

00:47:04.860 and give it

00:47:05.280 to people who

00:47:07.200 are not legal

00:47:08.060 residents, I

00:47:09.400 would say,

00:47:09.760 well, let me

00:47:11.260 look at the

00:47:12.040 pros and the

00:47:12.500 cons of that.

00:47:13.040 But in our

00:47:15.240 current situation,

00:47:16.160 we're spending

00:47:16.620 money that

00:47:17.080 doesn't even

00:47:17.540 exist.

00:47:18.400 It's not my

00:47:19.120 money, it's

00:47:19.780 not your

00:47:20.120 money, it's

00:47:20.620 nobody's

00:47:21.340 money.

00:47:21.800 It's not

00:47:22.140 even real

00:47:22.540 money, it's

00:47:22.960 just printed

00:47:23.420 money.

00:47:24.420 So I don't

00:47:25.760 know if our

00:47:26.360 system will

00:47:26.980 collapse because

00:47:28.560 we printed too

00:47:29.440 much money.

00:47:31.360 I've got a

00:47:32.080 degree in

00:47:32.460 economics, and

00:47:33.100 I can't figure

00:47:33.560 out where

00:47:34.420 things are

00:47:34.820 going.

00:47:35.520 But I will

00:47:36.200 tell you,

00:47:37.140 we're printing

00:47:37.880 free money.

00:47:38.500 because either

00:47:41.020 the system is

00:47:42.760 going to

00:47:43.120 completely

00:47:43.560 collapse, in

00:47:44.420 which case, it

00:47:45.420 didn't matter

00:47:45.840 that we did

00:47:46.360 it anyway.

00:47:47.060 We got to

00:47:47.680 spend it while

00:47:48.260 we were still

00:47:48.720 alive, so it

00:47:49.880 was free

00:47:50.180 money.

00:47:51.120 And if the

00:47:52.240 system doesn't

00:47:53.240 someday collapse

00:47:54.440 because of it,

00:47:56.240 well, then it

00:47:56.700 was free money.

00:47:58.300 So either

00:47:59.000 everything goes

00:47:59.660 to hell, in

00:48:00.900 which case, at

00:48:01.520 least we enjoyed

00:48:02.200 it as best we

00:48:03.600 could for as

00:48:04.120 long as we

00:48:04.560 could by printing

00:48:05.360 our free money,

00:48:06.480 or we figure

00:48:07.460 out how to get

00:48:08.040 through this,

00:48:08.500 okay, in

00:48:10.080 which case, it

00:48:10.600 was free money.

00:48:11.660 Now, you can

00:48:12.200 make the argument

00:48:12.840 that, oh, you

00:48:13.660 know, if you

00:48:13.980 get through it,

00:48:15.080 somebody's going

00:48:15.940 to have to pay

00:48:16.380 for it in the

00:48:17.060 form of inflation,

00:48:18.560 somebody's going

00:48:19.260 to have to pay

00:48:19.700 for it in terms

00:48:20.400 of debt, if any

00:48:21.600 of it is debt.

00:48:23.040 And I guess

00:48:23.820 that's true, but

00:48:25.400 I would tell you

00:48:26.060 that everything we

00:48:26.960 think is obvious

00:48:27.820 and predictable and

00:48:29.060 the numbers indicate

00:48:30.060 will happen, never

00:48:31.760 seems to happen.

00:48:33.300 Have you noticed

00:48:33.820 that pattern?

00:48:34.980 Everything you

00:48:35.640 think has to

00:48:36.300 happen because

00:48:36.860 that's where the

00:48:37.440 numbers are, you

00:48:38.360 don't look at

00:48:38.720 the numbers.

00:48:39.640 This has to

00:48:40.380 happen.

00:48:41.340 There's no way

00:48:41.900 you can just

00:48:42.380 spend forever.

00:48:45.380 But time after

00:48:46.620 time, we do

00:48:47.460 things that the

00:48:48.160 numbers say

00:48:48.700 shouldn't work,

00:48:49.880 and then they

00:48:50.320 work.

00:48:50.640 Apparently, we're

00:48:51.160 not good at

00:48:51.620 knowing what

00:48:52.020 works and what

00:48:52.560 doesn't.

00:48:53.520 So, the larger

00:48:54.560 picture is this.

00:48:55.740 If there's somebody

00:48:56.600 standing in your

00:48:57.440 living room and

00:48:58.440 they're starving to

00:48:59.220 death, do you

00:49:00.620 say to yourself,

00:49:01.620 I'm not going to

00:49:02.440 give you my

00:49:02.960 extra sandwich.

00:49:04.660 Yeah, it's extra.

00:49:05.380 I don't need it.

00:49:07.260 I'm not going to

00:49:07.840 give you my

00:49:08.400 extra sandwich.

00:49:09.400 I'm going to let

00:49:09.800 you starve to

00:49:10.480 death on my

00:49:11.200 living room floor.

00:49:12.580 Who does that?

00:49:14.080 Nobody.

00:49:15.200 Nobody.

00:49:16.280 So, yes, I

00:49:18.520 favor, I realize

00:49:20.940 this is the least

00:49:21.840 popular thing I'll

00:49:22.820 probably ever say,

00:49:24.360 I favor Governor

00:49:26.000 Newsom making

00:49:28.920 some funds

00:49:29.540 available to

00:49:30.380 feed, at least

00:49:31.120 feed, the people

00:49:33.400 who didn't have

00:49:34.400 a way to feed

00:49:34.840 themselves and

00:49:35.620 are stuck in

00:49:36.280 this country.

00:49:37.080 It's not like

00:49:37.620 they can easily

00:49:38.200 go home, right?

00:49:39.620 That's the whole

00:49:40.140 emergency problem.

00:49:41.840 So, yes, we have

00:49:42.800 to feed people who

00:49:43.800 can't feed themselves

00:49:45.060 in an emergency.

00:49:46.540 And if you're

00:49:47.240 going to argue

00:49:47.620 with that, I

00:49:48.920 don't like you.

00:49:50.480 Let me just say

00:49:51.280 that.

00:49:51.860 If you're going to

00:49:52.620 debate whether you

00:49:54.400 can let somebody

00:49:55.120 starve to death

00:49:55.980 sitting in your

00:49:56.920 living room while

00:49:58.160 you have an extra

00:49:58.880 sandwich because

00:50:01.160 you're worried about

00:50:01.840 the long-term

00:50:02.500 consequences, of

00:50:04.680 which there would

00:50:05.260 be none because

00:50:06.040 it's a special case

00:50:07.100 that should not

00:50:07.720 last forever, I'm

00:50:09.640 not sure I like

00:50:11.320 you, right?

00:50:12.600 But I totally agree

00:50:13.680 with the general

00:50:14.320 concept that you

00:50:15.160 have to have

00:50:15.500 strong borders because

00:50:16.860 you have to get the

00:50:17.480 incentives right or

00:50:18.400 the whole system

00:50:18.960 breaks down.

00:50:20.000 And the incentives

00:50:20.700 should not be,

00:50:21.540 hey, let's move to

00:50:22.200 this country and get

00:50:22.920 some free money.

00:50:24.420 But I'm certainly

00:50:26.060 going to feed

00:50:26.580 somebody starving.

00:50:29.500 Somebody says

00:50:30.240 there's no extra

00:50:30.920 sandwich.

00:50:31.300 Well, there's an

00:50:32.400 extra sandwich in

00:50:33.140 the sense that

00:50:33.600 we're just printing

00:50:34.240 free money.

00:50:36.200 And we don't know

00:50:37.080 if that actually

00:50:37.720 will ever cost us

00:50:38.660 anything.

00:50:39.720 I'll talk more

00:50:41.080 about that in the

00:50:41.760 future.

00:50:42.380 I'd like to get a

00:50:42.940 real economist on

00:50:43.800 here when I do

00:50:44.440 that.

00:50:46.880 Where can we

00:50:47.600 find the

00:50:48.140 Helite UV

00:50:49.020 insertion video?

00:50:50.620 Which platform?

00:50:51.960 I hear it might

00:50:52.880 have been restored

00:50:53.660 to at least one

00:50:55.380 of the platforms.

00:50:56.320 And I hear it's

00:50:56.780 on Vimeo.

00:50:57.460 But I don't

00:50:59.040 know that.

00:51:05.420 Somebody says

00:51:06.120 they disagree

00:51:06.900 respectfully.

00:51:08.840 Well, let me

00:51:09.600 just say this.

00:51:10.920 If you would

00:51:11.620 let somebody

00:51:12.120 starve to death

00:51:12.940 on your floor

00:51:13.760 while there is

00:51:15.300 still extra food,

00:51:16.880 and it looks like

00:51:17.600 we probably won't

00:51:18.560 run out of food,

00:51:20.240 you have to look

00:51:21.500 at yourself in the

00:51:22.100 mirror.

00:51:23.320 You know, you

00:51:23.680 certainly have that

00:51:24.260 choice.

00:51:24.840 It's a free country

00:51:25.700 and you get to

00:51:26.320 make that choice.

00:51:27.600 But take a good

00:51:28.620 look at yourself.

00:51:30.180 If that's the

00:51:30.920 person you want

00:51:31.500 to be, I won't

00:51:33.260 stop you.

00:51:40.240 What kind of

00:51:41.040 sandwich?

00:51:43.920 Strawman.

00:51:44.580 Nobody is

00:51:45.100 starving.

00:51:47.340 Well, nobody is

00:51:48.440 starving yet.

00:51:50.040 See, people always

00:51:51.320 make that temporal

00:51:52.520 problem that, let me

00:51:55.480 put it this way.

00:51:57.880 Nuclear, we

00:51:59.440 don't have to

00:51:59.940 worry about

00:52:00.360 nuclear war

00:52:01.160 because there's

00:52:01.760 never been a

00:52:02.300 nuclear war yet.

00:52:04.120 Is that a good

00:52:04.920 analysis?

00:52:06.040 We don't have to

00:52:06.980 worry about the

00:52:08.300 temperature going

00:52:09.000 up 10 degrees a

00:52:10.000 year.

00:52:10.380 It's not, but

00:52:11.020 let's say it was.

00:52:11.860 We don't have to

00:52:12.500 worry about that

00:52:13.080 going up 10

00:52:13.800 degrees a year

00:52:14.420 because it's not

00:52:15.100 that hot this

00:52:15.940 year.

00:52:17.300 Right?

00:52:19.840 You know, try to

00:52:20.620 get at least your

00:52:21.260 time zones correct if

00:52:23.120 you're going to

00:52:23.400 compare two things.

00:52:24.160 You can download

00:52:29.300 from their

00:52:29.800 website, the

00:52:30.680 Healite website.

00:52:32.740 Vimeo, Bit

00:52:33.500 Shoot also,

00:52:34.320 somebody's saying.

00:52:35.260 So Bit

00:52:35.700 Shoot, it

00:52:36.660 would be there

00:52:37.200 if it got

00:52:37.600 banned on

00:52:38.180 YouTube,

00:52:38.900 probably.

00:52:41.360 All right.

00:52:43.800 All right, that's

00:52:44.620 all for me.

00:52:46.600 And I will talk

00:52:48.040 to you tonight.

00:52:48.760 Somebody says,

00:52:52.360 please do an

00:52:52.900 entire episode

00:52:53.700 addressing the

00:52:54.400 economics.

00:52:55.240 I think I might

00:52:55.740 do that with a

00:52:56.280 guest.

00:52:57.000 I have a guest

00:52:57.580 in mind, and I

00:52:59.220 will do that.

00:52:59.880 All right.

00:53:01.180 Suggestion accepted.

00:53:02.780 And I'll talk to you

00:53:03.560 tonight.

00:53:03.840 you

00:53:24.160 Bye-bye.

00:53:24.560 Bye-bye.

00:53:25.680 Bye-bye.

00:53:26.600 Bye-bye.

00:53:26.620 Bye-bye.

00:53:27.040 Bye-bye.

00:53:27.960 Bye-bye.

00:53:28.340 Bye-bye.

00:53:29.020 Bye-bye.

00:53:29.100 Bye-bye.
