00:00:00.000 Well, it's time, yes it is, for the evening edition of Coffee with L. Scott Adams, because, well, you could have your coffee, but I won't be having it.
00:00:15.440 And it's another sunny, beautiful day here. Exactly the kind of day that your coronavirus doesn't like at all.
00:00:22.880 Well, we don't need the outdoors. We got each other.
00:00:32.240 Let me recommend to you, if you'd like a good laugh, you know the meme maker, Sol, S-O-L, Sol Memes One.
00:00:42.840 Well, she's got a meme of, I'll try to play it for you, well, let me see if I can do it. I'll just play it.
00:00:49.640 It looks like you might be able to see it.
00:00:51.280 Together, we're just getting started.
00:00:54.620 I'm going to watch the Joe Stone.
00:00:55.740 This moment reminds us that the presidency is about true leadership, having the forethought to prepare for the worst, and a backbone to lead through chaos.
00:01:07.080 I could watch this forever.
00:01:08.120 To move beyond politics and serve every American, no matter where they live or what they believe.
00:01:15.840 Only one candidate in this election has all three.
00:01:22.980 My husband, our next...
00:01:25.400 I could watch that all day.
00:01:33.400 It's funny.
00:01:34.300 It's literally just one joke.
00:01:37.060 And you could watch that one joke for like five minutes at a time and then just loop it and watch it again.
00:01:46.220 Oh, that's the funniest thing I've seen today.
00:01:50.160 So the Biden Protection Program continues.
00:01:53.420 I can't think of anything more perfect for Joe Biden than they don't let him campaign.
00:02:01.440 Was the coronavirus designed to get Joe Biden elected?
00:02:06.080 Because, I mean, think about it.
00:02:08.980 The only...
00:02:10.020 The worst thing that could have happened to Joe Biden is that there was no coronavirus, and he would be out there trying to talk in public.
00:02:18.600 But there is a coronavirus.
00:02:20.840 So he gets to...
00:02:22.060 He's actually going up in the polls because nobody sees him doing anything.
00:02:26.920 Apparently, he's got a strategy.
00:02:28.340 His strategy is to hide in the basement and not let anybody see him talk until he's president.
00:02:33.460 Could work.
00:02:34.560 I'm not saying it's not going to work.
00:02:36.240 So, I'm just sort of catching up on this General Flynn stuff.
00:02:43.660 And all of these legal stories, they tend to have too much detail.
00:02:49.520 So I try to figure out what's going on.
00:02:51.740 It sounds like somebody was bad to somebody.
00:02:54.240 And you can't really...
00:02:55.280 I don't know.
00:02:55.800 I just lose interest on all the legal stuff.
00:02:59.180 But it doesn't take you much detail to find out that in the General Flynn story,
00:03:05.500 it looks like the FBI literally just framed him for political reasons.
00:03:12.280 I've been holding out the benefit of a doubt as long as possible, which I like to do in any legal situation.
00:03:20.220 It doesn't matter who's accused.
00:03:22.020 I like to at least try to hold out the benefit of a doubt until the process has worked its magic.
00:03:28.440 There are some exceptions.
00:03:31.480 I mean, you know, Kavanaugh was obviously not guilty.
00:03:35.280 But generally, I try to hold my fire.
00:03:39.840 But I guess it's time to talk about it.
00:03:42.400 Because it seems we have enough information now that's been released that apparently the FBI is thoroughly corrupt.
00:03:49.500 You know, I know I'm going to regret saying this, but I'll say it anyway.
00:03:57.560 You know, we've been saying for like three years, I think, we've been saying the same mantra.
00:04:03.580 You know, well, there are a few rotten apples at the top of the FBI, but the rank and file,
00:04:09.620 you know, the people doing the work, you know, they're good patriots and everything.
00:04:14.620 And now I think we just have to question that.
00:04:17.720 Sorry.
00:04:18.720 Which doesn't mean that, you know, obviously, it doesn't mean all people at FBI are bad.
00:04:23.520 Most of them, I assume, are good.
00:04:25.180 But the people at the top, at least, you know, far enough down that we're involved in this Papadopoulos stuff
00:04:32.800 and the General Flynn stuff, all of this stuff, were just completely crooked.
00:04:37.020 Completely crooked, apparently.
00:04:40.040 I mean, that's what the news is telling us. 0.73
00:04:42.240 They're completely crooked.
00:04:44.200 And it's not my fault that that reflects badly on the entire organization.
00:04:52.320 So I'm going to have to stop saying, well, there are only some bad eggs at the top,
00:04:57.860 because I don't know.
00:04:59.960 Do you know?
00:05:01.020 I don't know that the bad eggs are only at the top.
00:05:03.760 Why would that be?
00:05:04.460 Why would bad eggs, coincidentally, be all at the top?
00:05:08.940 I'd like to believe.
00:05:10.740 I'd like to believe that that's the only place it's rotten.
00:05:14.340 But I guess I have to suspend my disbelief at this point and say, I don't know. 0.93
00:05:20.880 Maybe if you have that much power, maybe you're all corrupt.
00:05:25.180 I don't know.
00:05:26.320 What would it take?
00:05:27.640 Of course, I'm highly biased because I'm watching the Waco documentary.
00:05:35.520 And that is really damning to the FBI.
00:05:38.400 I've only watched the first part of it.
00:05:40.880 And it doesn't look like the problems are new.
00:05:45.080 Whatever the problems are with the FBI, it doesn't look new.
00:05:47.500 So, this is a gigantic story that's just sort of hidden by the coronavirus, but it's amazing.
00:05:56.880 If you take that plus the Russiagate, I'm still not buying into deep state as a term.
00:06:04.640 You know, I've said from the beginning, I could easily believe lots of individuals did individual things.
00:06:12.140 I could easily believe that some of them talked to each other.
00:06:15.620 But, you know, not some great organized conspiracy.
00:06:19.540 But still, deep state.
00:06:22.000 I would have to say at this point, it is demonstrated to be true and corrupting the country.
00:06:27.980 And Trump came in and just ruined all their stuff.
00:06:31.340 He just broke all their toys.
00:06:32.540 So, I would be super, super disappointed if there are not lengthy jail terms for most of the top of the FBI at this point.
00:06:42.880 And what the heck is Christopher Wray doing?
00:06:47.420 Do you have any confidence in Christopher Wray that we're finding this stuff out now?
00:06:54.900 You know, I hate to be the guy who says it should have been done sooner, because that applies to just everything.
00:06:59.900 But we've got some questions for Christopher Wray.
00:07:06.240 I was asked on Twitter to give some recommendations on how one would do civil disobedience in the current situation.
00:07:15.760 Let's say you decided to ignore the guidelines, or wanted to ignore them.
00:07:24.240 How would you do civil disobedience?
00:07:26.820 And I would suggest the following.
00:07:28.500 There's only one thing you can do, which is if somebody opens a store, go to it.
00:07:34.300 That's it.
00:07:34.820 But I don't think people are going to be opening many stores.
00:07:38.880 And when they do, it'll be a national story.
00:07:41.420 The authorities will probably close them down pretty quickly.
00:07:45.160 But if people open, just go there.
00:07:50.640 You don't even have to buy much.
00:07:52.460 You know, buy an eraser.
00:07:54.860 You know, buy a greeting card.
00:07:56.860 Just go.
00:07:57.460 Now, I'm not recommending that you do that.
00:08:01.600 The question was, how would you do civil disobedience?
00:08:05.440 I'm telling you how to do it if you want to do it.
00:08:08.080 I'm not telling you to do it.
00:08:09.840 Now, in California, we just heard that, in my county and others,
00:08:15.860 that we're going to be locked down until the end of May.
00:08:19.600 Okay, so I'm going to be in this house for five more weeks.
00:08:27.920 All right.
00:08:29.980 Do you think I'm going to adhere to the guidelines for five more weeks?
00:08:35.320 No.
00:08:36.280 No, I'm not.
00:08:37.600 I'm not.
00:08:38.960 I'm just not.
00:08:40.260 I will make my own decisions.
00:08:42.940 I will trust other people will make their own decisions as well.
00:08:45.880 But I will make my decisions based on what I determine is good for society and for me and my loved ones.
00:08:57.400 But I would say we can't really trust the authorities at this point.
00:09:02.800 Pretty much everybody in power has disappointed us.
00:09:06.200 So I'd say you don't want to ignore what they say,
00:09:10.340 but you don't want to necessarily believe it either.
00:09:13.120 And I think we've just got to make our own decisions at this point.
00:09:21.640 Speaking of baloney,
00:09:24.620 so this morning on my Periscope,
00:09:26.420 I spent a great deal of time debunking this video,
00:09:29.180 this kind of a viral video,
00:09:31.520 of two doctors, but mostly one doctor talking.
00:09:34.460 And the essence of it was,
00:09:35.800 if you saw this morning's Periscope,
00:09:37.480 that the one doctor especially is saying that according to the data that he can see,
00:09:43.920 that it doesn't make sense that we're closed down and it was overblown and we should basically go back to work.
00:09:50.280 And our civil liberties are being curtailed for not a good reason.
00:09:54.060 Now, I spent a good amount of time completely debunking that.
00:09:57.360 It was the least credible thing.
00:09:59.120 It looked like the guy, the doctor, didn't know how to compare things,
00:10:02.640 using the wrong numbers, extrapolating the wrong way,
00:10:06.160 ignoring gigantic facts that really matter like they don't matter.
00:10:11.020 So it was the least credible thing I've ever seen.
00:10:15.360 And that was just featured on Tucker's show.
00:10:18.100 So, the way the world works,
00:10:25.180 you live in the world too,
00:10:26.900 so you know what happens next, right?
00:10:29.520 You know, you can sort of connect the dots.
00:10:32.200 First of all, you'll all be calling for me to debate with Tucker,
00:10:36.260 which probably won't happen.
00:10:38.720 Secondly,
00:10:40.440 Tucker's show has far more wattage,
00:10:43.720 so probably at least half of all conservatives
00:10:47.460 now believe that debunked doctor thing.
00:10:50.620 Debunked, in my opinion.
00:10:52.020 So I'm the one who's saying it's debunked
00:10:53.760 by my own work and some other people who joined in
00:10:57.560 in the comments section.
00:10:59.180 But it's very disappointing to me
00:11:02.420 because it looks like Hannity all over again.
00:11:07.940 Now, who knows how this is going to turn out.
00:11:11.020 And I would say if you're trying to figure out
00:11:12.780 who to believe.
00:11:16.080 If you're trying to figure out
00:11:17.200 who to believe in all this,
00:11:19.280 specifically the big question
00:11:20.880 of how bad was it,
00:11:22.860 should we have shut down,
00:11:24.800 should we go back to work,
00:11:25.800 you know, the big questions.
00:11:27.100 I would say the people you should not believe
00:11:29.220 is anybody who expresses certainty.
00:11:33.020 So anybody who tells you confidently
00:11:35.900 it's time to go back to work.
00:11:38.680 Because that's what,
00:11:39.540 the numbers show that it's time to go back to work.
00:11:41.980 If somebody says that confidently,
00:11:44.440 you should never listen to them again
00:11:46.540 because they've lost all credibility.
00:11:49.260 Likewise, if they say the opposite,
00:11:51.220 we need to be locked down for whatever.
00:11:54.320 It doesn't even matter how long they say.
00:11:56.700 End of June, next week,
00:11:58.740 three months.
00:11:59.760 As long as they're sure about it,
00:12:02.160 you should ignore them forever.
00:12:03.480 The only people,
00:12:05.940 oh, somebody says that Dr. Drew
00:12:09.800 went over their math errors.
00:12:11.220 Oh, good.
00:12:11.760 So I wasn't the only one who saw it.
00:12:13.860 And I noticed that other people saw it as well.
00:12:17.840 And they're really big errors.
00:12:19.480 I mean, they're embarrassingly big
00:12:21.140 if it's the same ones I'm thinking of.
00:12:23.560 So, I'm sure I had a point there.
00:12:28.960 All right.
00:12:29.220 So the situation is that
00:12:32.500 because of this non-credible doctor video,
00:12:37.600 the conservatives of the world,
00:12:39.320 the Fox News watchers,
00:12:40.940 have all been deeply misled,
00:12:42.740 in my opinion.
00:12:44.200 All right.
00:12:44.900 Now, the in my opinion part
00:12:46.920 should be the most important part
00:12:48.740 of what you just heard.
00:12:49.580 And I will emphasize that by saying,
00:12:52.360 do you remember the early data that we got
00:12:54.840 and how it was all wrong?
00:12:57.860 And you remember that, right?
00:12:59.240 So stick with me.
00:13:00.480 We all agree that all the early data we got
00:13:03.140 about the coronavirus,
00:13:04.640 pretty much all of it,
00:13:06.300 was wrong.
00:13:07.740 But as time went by,
00:13:09.160 we would get new information.
00:13:11.080 How was the new information?
00:13:13.780 All wrong, right?
00:13:16.040 But there was more information after that.
00:13:17.980 Each week there would be new information.
00:13:19.580 How was the information after that?
00:13:23.120 All wrong.
00:13:25.120 Now, coincidentally,
00:13:26.740 we finally get this video of this doctor
00:13:28.820 who says the things you want to hear.
00:13:32.480 Because you want to hear a doctor say,
00:13:36.060 I've got the secret scoop.
00:13:38.120 It's all a big phony hoax.
00:13:40.680 You can go back to work.
00:13:42.500 That's what you want to hear.
00:13:44.540 I mean, you want that
00:13:45.680 as much as you've wanted anything in your life.
00:13:48.240 You really want that to be true.
00:13:51.180 So how did you hear it?
00:13:53.160 You heard it as true. 0.98
00:13:54.700 That's how your brain is organized.
00:13:56.460 You wanted that to be true so badly
00:13:58.480 that it became true
00:14:00.240 even though on the surface 0.87
00:14:02.180 it looked just ridiculous. 0.95
00:14:04.220 I mean, just crazy, non-credible. 0.95
00:14:06.420 Now,
00:14:08.120 so these new doctors have some new information.
00:14:12.380 Is this the time that the information is accurate?
00:14:16.000 Just ask yourself this.
00:14:17.920 It's never been accurate yet.
00:14:19.900 No matter where it came from
00:14:21.540 or who said it,
00:14:22.340 it wasn't accurate.
00:14:23.580 But this is the time?
00:14:25.420 Guy on video that we've never heard of,
00:14:28.260 he got it all right?
00:14:30.460 Totally possible.
00:14:32.240 You could not rule out
00:14:33.600 that eventually somebody gets the right answer
00:14:36.460 and for the right reason,
00:14:37.900 not just guessing.
00:14:39.040 Could be him.
00:14:40.280 But what are the odds?
00:14:41.540 Just ask yourself,
00:14:43.300 what are the odds
00:14:44.320 that this guy got it right
00:14:46.360 and the people who still have it wrong
00:14:48.380 are the experts who are seeing the whole field?
00:14:52.600 So the guy who's just,
00:14:54.000 from his one little perspective,
00:14:55.840 in an emergency room
00:14:57.700 that apparently didn't have much action.
00:15:00.380 I mean,
00:15:00.680 part of the reason he was talking about it
00:15:02.140 is that he wasn't very busy.
00:15:04.280 From his little perspective,
00:15:06.380 he got the right answer,
00:15:07.880 but all the experts didn't?
00:15:10.160 Totally possible
00:15:11.060 because we watched that happen.
00:15:13.180 We watched all the experts say
00:15:14.640 that masks don't work
00:15:15.960 and people who are not experts like me said,
00:15:19.060 I'm sorry,
00:15:20.980 but all the experts are lying to you.
00:15:23.240 I don't know why exactly.
00:15:24.880 Maybe to conserve supply.
00:15:27.220 I mean,
00:15:27.400 that's what I was saying at the time.
00:15:28.840 And then,
00:15:29.300 of course,
00:15:29.540 it turns out they're all just lying to you.
00:15:32.440 Did you believe the stories
00:15:34.040 that said hydroxychloroquine
00:15:35.640 was a magic pill?
00:15:37.720 A lot of you did.
00:15:38.900 I wanted to believe it.
00:15:40.800 Then news came out
00:15:42.160 that it's killing people.
00:15:43.800 Did you believe that?
00:15:45.420 Well,
00:15:45.700 I wanted not to.
00:15:47.320 But I thought,
00:15:48.000 well,
00:15:48.120 maybe I'd better hold on.
00:15:50.440 You can't believe the fact.
00:15:52.160 You can't believe the debunk of the fact.
00:15:53.980 You can't believe the debunk of the debunk.
00:15:56.640 We're living in a world
00:15:57.660 where all of our information is flawed,
00:15:59.860 deeply flawed,
00:16:01.040 flawed to the point
00:16:01.860 it doesn't even point you
00:16:02.800 in the right direction.
00:16:03.780 That's the most flawed you can get.
00:16:06.260 When I talk about Trump
00:16:07.640 departing from the fact-checking,
00:16:10.580 I always say
00:16:11.440 that at least he's sort of directionally,
00:16:14.040 he's pushing you in the right direction.
00:16:15.600 But with the coronavirus stuff,
00:16:18.180 none of the information is credible
00:16:19.840 and it points in opposite directions.
00:16:22.600 What do you do with that?
00:16:24.420 Well, the only thing you can do is tiptoe.
00:16:26.800 The only thing you can do
00:16:28.120 is try something.
00:16:30.540 One of the things that Tucker said to us
00:16:33.020 that there's a Wall Street Journal article
00:16:34.600 I did not hear,
00:16:35.700 I did not read,
00:16:37.560 that claims,
00:16:38.560 and again,
00:16:39.040 I didn't see it,
00:16:39.740 but it claims,
00:16:41.040 according to Tucker,
00:16:42.780 that a study was done
00:16:44.800 of states that
00:16:46.000 closed down quickly and tightly
00:16:48.540 versus ones that didn't.
00:16:51.100 I think it was just states,
00:16:52.240 not countries,
00:16:53.400 but the claim was
00:16:54.900 there was no correlation
00:16:55.940 in outcome.
00:16:59.040 Now,
00:16:59.680 I don't know what to say
00:17:04.700 about that
00:17:05.360 because that's so obviously wrong.
00:17:09.400 Isn't it?
00:17:10.800 Again,
00:17:11.780 let me do,
00:17:12.940 let me be 1.00
00:17:13.540 as big a jerk 1.00
00:17:15.040 as I was 1.00
00:17:15.920 a few weeks ago
00:17:16.960 when I said in public
00:17:18.660 they're all lying to you
00:17:20.220 about
00:17:20.600 the masks.
00:17:22.340 Of course they help
00:17:23.260 a little bit,
00:17:24.420 obviously.
00:17:24.920 And so,
00:17:26.560 so I went on a limb,
00:17:29.080 disagreed with all
00:17:29.920 the medical professionals,
00:17:31.800 and I was right.
00:17:34.060 Now,
00:17:34.500 Tucker is saying
00:17:35.180 that there's some,
00:17:36.240 somebody must be
00:17:36.980 a professional
00:17:37.600 at statistics,
00:17:39.600 somebody who knows
00:17:40.680 how to do this sort of thing,
00:17:41.880 looked at it,
00:17:42.760 and the expert,
00:17:44.280 who's far more expert
00:17:45.580 than I am,
00:17:46.280 I wouldn't even be able
00:17:47.080 to check their math.
00:17:48.620 That expert has said
00:17:49.820 that when you keep away
00:17:51.840 from each other
00:17:52.580 in a pandemic
00:17:53.360 where the very nature
00:17:54.680 of it is that
00:17:55.500 being close to each other
00:17:57.000 is what makes it spread,
00:17:58.520 but if you don't spend
00:17:59.700 as much time
00:18:00.240 close to each other
00:18:01.060 it doesn't make
00:18:01.620 any difference.
00:18:03.980 What?
00:18:07.580 What?
00:18:08.720 Are you kidding me?
00:18:11.320 And Tucker repeated that
00:18:12.840 because the experts,
00:18:14.180 and there was some
00:18:14.620 Wall Street Journal article,
00:18:15.800 maybe somebody
00:18:16.240 can tweet it at me,
00:18:17.540 but it doesn't matter.
00:18:18.900 Do you need to read
00:18:19.780 that article
00:18:20.320 to know it's not true?
00:18:22.180 Do you need to be
00:18:22.920 an expert on statistics?
00:18:24.680 Or virology?
00:18:26.500 To know that
00:18:27.280 two people standing together,
00:18:29.520 one of them has the virus
00:18:31.000 and one does not,
00:18:32.600 is that better or worse
00:18:34.220 than two of them
00:18:35.340 on the opposite ends
00:18:37.200 of the planet?
00:18:38.300 Which one of those
00:18:39.280 is more likely
00:18:40.620 to make the virus spread?
00:18:43.940 I don't know.
00:18:44.920 I'm stumped.
00:18:46.020 Come on.
00:18:47.520 Now, I don't know
00:18:48.300 what the Wall Street Journal
00:18:49.660 claimed to see.
00:18:50.720 Maybe it was a more
00:18:51.680 narrow claim
00:18:52.660 that got misinterpreted
00:18:54.660 either by Tucker
00:18:55.380 or by me.
00:18:56.640 But let's not pretend
00:18:57.680 that the shutting down
00:18:59.460 and the social isolation
00:19:01.140 doesn't work. 0.99
00:19:02.700 That's the dumbest thing 0.99
00:19:03.880 I've ever heard 1.00
00:19:04.400 in my life. 1.00
00:19:05.180 It's as dumb 1.00
00:19:06.160 as saying that masks 1.00
00:19:07.760 don't make a difference
00:19:08.680 because obviously they do.
00:19:10.600 Obviously.
00:19:11.700 All right?
00:19:12.420 Obviously,
00:19:13.460 shutting down
00:19:14.320 and having tighter controls
00:19:16.340 made some difference.
00:19:17.540 to imagine
00:19:19.840 that there's
00:19:20.380 a statistical
00:19:21.220 evaluation of that
00:19:23.620 is the most 0.99
00:19:24.500 ridiculous claim 0.99
00:19:25.760 I've heard this week. 0.97
00:19:27.200 And it's been a week 0.96
00:19:27.960 of ridiculousness. 0.93
00:19:30.100 I mean, 0.89
00:19:30.400 there's been a lot 0.84
00:19:31.060 of ridiculous stuff.
00:19:32.700 But really, 0.85
00:19:34.120 really,
00:19:34.720 staying away
00:19:35.360 from each other
00:19:35.960 doesn't make a difference
00:19:37.000 in transmission 0.64
00:19:37.720 of frickin' viruses. 0.63
00:19:40.120 That's what we've 0.92
00:19:40.980 come down to?
00:19:42.180 That that's on television
00:19:44.060 and we're all like,
00:19:45.260 uh-huh, uh-huh.
00:19:46.040 I'll bet that statistical
00:19:47.780 analysis is pretty darn good.
00:19:49.980 No!
00:19:51.080 All of our statistics
00:19:52.340 are lies.
00:19:53.420 All of the data
00:19:54.100 is lies. 0.63
00:19:55.020 I mean,
00:19:55.280 until we get something
00:19:56.100 that's reliable,
00:19:57.540 they all look like lies.
00:19:59.000 And when they're 1.00
00:19:59.680 this obviously stupid, 1.00
00:20:01.580 I mean, 1.00
00:20:01.840 this is just 1.00
00:20:02.280 obviously stupid. 1.00
00:20:04.160 Of course, 1.00
00:20:04.980 staying away from people
00:20:05.980 makes a difference
00:20:07.440 in transmission rates.
00:20:08.600 Of course!
00:20:10.340 It's making me crazy.
00:20:11.720 All right.
00:20:13.520 Here's another one
00:20:16.140 that's making me crazy.
00:20:18.260 Everybody has taken
00:20:19.460 an assumption
00:20:20.080 that what we're trying
00:20:22.120 to do is
00:20:23.000 flatten the curve,
00:20:24.700 but other people
00:20:26.560 say this,
00:20:27.140 not me,
00:20:27.980 and they say that
00:20:28.600 the point of flattening it
00:20:29.860 is that eventually
00:20:31.220 you'll get on top of it
00:20:32.460 and then the curve
00:20:33.660 will,
00:20:34.180 you know,
00:20:34.380 maybe slowly,
00:20:35.640 but it will approach
00:20:36.600 zero and then
00:20:38.100 we're out of trouble.
00:20:38.840 would somebody
00:20:41.700 ask somebody
00:20:43.300 who's an expert
00:20:44.020 how we get
00:20:45.880 from the flat part
00:20:47.000 to the down part?
00:20:49.160 Because you know
00:20:49.860 there's no plan
00:20:50.560 for that,
00:20:51.000 right?
00:20:52.440 Because,
00:20:53.980 you know,
00:20:54.760 by the time
00:20:55.840 we have a vaccine,
00:20:56.800 it's at least a year.
00:20:58.780 Now,
00:20:59.220 I'm not saying
00:20:59.660 there won't be
00:21:00.120 some new development
00:21:01.060 or we'll find
00:21:01.840 some way
00:21:02.300 to do something better
00:21:03.200 because,
00:21:03.920 in fact,
00:21:04.460 I do predict
00:21:05.280 that our
00:21:06.580 creativity
00:21:08.000 and our
00:21:08.680 innovation
00:21:09.160 and our
00:21:09.900 just ability
00:21:10.760 to invent
00:21:11.520 is off the chart
00:21:12.960 and we'll see
00:21:14.280 probably in the next
00:21:14.940 few weeks
00:21:15.440 just amazing things.
00:21:17.640 So I think that,
00:21:18.500 you know,
00:21:18.780 something could come up,
00:21:20.300 maybe one of the
00:21:21.160 therapeutics works
00:21:22.020 or something,
00:21:23.100 and then that would
00:21:23.820 give us the ability
00:21:24.620 to plan.
00:21:28.560 That would give us
00:21:29.500 the ability to plan.
00:21:31.160 But would you agree
00:21:32.100 with this statement
00:21:32.880 that nobody who
00:21:34.540 knows what they're
00:21:35.180 talking about
00:21:35.800 in terms of
00:21:36.340 the curves
00:21:36.900 and epidemiology
00:21:38.260 that nobody
00:21:39.260 has told you
00:21:40.100 what could
00:21:41.020 possibly make
00:21:42.060 that curve
00:21:43.080 go down?
00:21:45.160 Now,
00:21:45.420 you're going to
00:21:45.700 say to me,
00:21:46.500 well,
00:21:47.240 yeah,
00:21:47.480 the curve will
00:21:48.020 go down
00:21:48.560 because they
00:21:49.420 always do.
00:21:51.020 All of the
00:21:51.880 other curves
00:21:52.480 have gone down.
00:21:54.640 No,
00:21:55.500 the other curves
00:21:56.780 went down
00:21:57.240 because we had
00:21:57.900 vaccinations
00:21:58.540 and herd immunity.
00:22:00.500 Have you heard
00:22:01.380 anybody say
00:22:02.020 that herd immunity
00:22:03.000 is definitely
00:22:03.760 something that
00:22:04.360 can happen
00:22:04.760 with the
00:22:05.080 coronavirus?
00:22:06.340 No.
00:22:07.140 No,
00:22:07.420 you've heard
00:22:07.800 maybe.
00:22:09.220 And if we're
00:22:10.520 flattening the
00:22:11.160 curve,
00:22:12.640 how long does
00:22:13.620 it take us
00:22:14.140 to get to,
00:22:14.900 say,
00:22:15.080 70%
00:22:16.160 herd immunity
00:22:18.080 if there is
00:22:18.860 herd immunity?
00:22:20.120 When's that
00:22:20.820 going to happen?
00:22:21.320 If it takes
00:22:23.280 a year,
00:22:24.400 we're going to
00:22:25.240 lose hundreds
00:22:26.120 of thousands
00:22:26.720 of people.
00:22:28.720 So,
00:22:29.640 here,
00:22:30.260 let me see
00:22:30.800 if I can
00:22:31.120 summarize my
00:22:31.820 point.
00:22:32.660 We've got a
00:22:33.240 curve that's
00:22:33.800 got a flat
00:22:34.480 part and
00:22:35.240 then a
00:22:35.920 presumed
00:22:36.500 drop-off.
00:22:37.880 Tell me
00:22:38.320 what's
00:22:38.620 different
00:22:39.160 that makes
00:22:40.380 the drop-off
00:22:41.100 happen.
00:22:42.020 What's going
00:22:42.580 to happen
00:22:42.960 in the future
00:22:43.620 that makes
00:22:44.580 that?
00:22:44.900 It's not
00:22:45.340 just herd
00:22:45.880 immunity
00:22:46.260 because we're
00:22:46.720 not going
00:22:47.000 to have
00:22:47.280 much
00:22:47.620 because we
00:22:48.520 had a
00:22:48.740 flat curve.
00:22:49.680 It's going
00:22:50.060 to take
00:22:50.280 you a 0.57
00:22:50.520 long time
00:22:51.100 to get
00:22:51.400 there.
00:22:52.560 I don't
00:22:52.860 think there's
00:22:53.240 a plan.
00:22:54.640 The plan
00:22:55.480 is that
00:22:55.800 you invent
00:22:56.280 something,
00:22:56.920 right?
00:22:57.680 The plan
00:22:58.160 is that
00:22:58.500 you get
00:22:58.780 a vaccine
00:22:59.400 sooner than
00:23:00.500 you thought.
00:23:02.980 Well,
00:23:03.500 even if
00:23:03.940 the warm
00:23:04.720 weather
00:23:05.080 makes it
00:23:06.320 pause,
00:23:07.480 even the
00:23:07.960 experts are
00:23:08.480 saying there's
00:23:08.880 going to be
00:23:09.140 another hump
00:23:09.680 after that
00:23:10.220 because it's
00:23:10.740 not going
00:23:11.040 to go away. 0.66
00:23:12.200 There will
00:23:12.400 always be
00:23:12.720 a summer
00:23:13.000 end.
00:23:14.160 There's a
00:23:14.520 big story
00:23:14.880 about UFOs,
00:23:16.100 but it's
00:23:16.600 not a real
00:23:17.040 story.
00:23:17.500 It's a
00:23:17.840 fake story.
00:23:18.740 Fake
00:23:19.060 News.
00:23:19.920 So there's
00:23:20.460 fake news
00:23:20.960 about UFOs.
00:23:21.860 It's fake
00:23:22.180 news in the
00:23:22.740 sense that
00:23:23.260 it's the
00:23:23.660 same video
00:23:25.140 and the
00:23:25.540 same films
00:23:26.240 that had
00:23:27.000 been leaked
00:23:27.420 a long
00:23:27.780 time ago.
00:23:28.880 And the
00:23:29.180 U.S.
00:23:29.500 government
00:23:29.780 simply released
00:23:31.280 what they
00:23:31.600 had so you
00:23:32.840 could see it
00:23:33.300 in its
00:23:33.600 totality,
00:23:34.500 so you
00:23:34.940 could see
00:23:35.560 that nothing
00:23:35.920 was edited
00:23:36.420 out.
00:23:37.000 But it's
00:23:37.320 the same
00:23:37.600 story.
00:23:38.420 It's not
00:23:39.000 new.
00:23:40.120 And I
00:23:41.500 would like
00:23:41.860 to say
00:23:42.940 once again
00:23:43.520 in public
00:23:43.980 that it
00:23:44.700 is one
00:23:45.280 of the
00:23:45.540 least
00:23:46.060 believable
00:23:47.100 stories
00:23:47.760 you'll
00:23:48.380 ever see
00:23:48.860 in your
00:23:49.080 life.
00:23:51.140 Probably one
00:23:52.040 of the
00:23:52.280 least
00:23:52.820 believable
00:23:53.520 stories.
00:23:54.720 Now most
00:23:55.140 of you
00:23:55.360 believe there
00:23:55.780 was some
00:23:56.060 kind of
00:23:56.920 weird
00:23:57.520 spacecraft,
00:23:59.260 right?
00:23:59.440 And multiple
00:24:00.860 pilots saw it.
00:24:02.100 because multiple
00:24:03.520 pilots saw it.
00:24:05.840 That's pretty
00:24:06.480 credible.
00:24:07.160 And they
00:24:07.520 also captured
00:24:08.180 it on some
00:24:09.040 instruments,
00:24:10.440 right?
00:24:11.160 But the
00:24:11.620 only instruments
00:24:12.180 we see are
00:24:13.020 that one
00:24:13.680 video view.
00:24:16.920 And the
00:24:17.280 video view
00:24:17.800 looks exactly
00:24:18.520 like there
00:24:18.960 was something
00:24:19.380 in the
00:24:20.100 camera,
00:24:20.960 like there
00:24:21.260 was literally
00:24:21.720 a bug in
00:24:22.240 the camera
00:24:22.680 or a piece
00:24:23.240 of dust
00:24:23.620 or something.
00:24:24.660 I mean,
00:24:25.060 it looks so
00:24:25.700 not like a
00:24:26.440 spaceship to
00:24:27.360 me.
00:24:27.880 It looks
00:24:28.320 literally just
00:24:28.980 like a bug
00:24:29.640 or just a
00:24:30.760 piece of dirt
00:24:31.320 on the
00:24:32.000 camera.
00:24:33.020 Now,
00:24:33.700 you say to
00:24:34.200 me,
00:24:34.560 Scott,
00:24:34.880 Scott,
00:24:35.140 Scott,
00:24:36.040 that might
00:24:37.760 explain why
00:24:38.860 one of the
00:24:39.540 pilots thought
00:24:40.960 he was seeing
00:24:41.460 something.
00:24:42.440 Because,
00:24:43.020 you know,
00:24:43.240 only one of
00:24:43.820 them would
00:24:44.180 see the
00:24:44.680 bug on
00:24:46.000 their own
00:24:46.380 camera.
00:24:47.120 But what
00:24:47.600 about the
00:24:47.960 other pilot?
00:24:49.100 How do
00:24:49.600 you explain
00:24:49.960 that?
00:24:51.120 Well,
00:24:51.680 do you think
00:24:52.120 there's no
00:24:52.620 other way to
00:24:53.120 explain it?
00:24:54.080 Would you
00:24:54.500 say it
00:24:55.100 must be
00:24:55.560 true because
00:24:56.900 two pilots
00:24:57.800 or more,
00:24:58.440 I forget
00:24:58.760 how many,
00:24:59.580 said it's
00:25:00.040 true?
00:25:00.980 Is that
00:25:01.340 how it
00:25:01.580 works?
00:25:02.340 If three
00:25:02.820 pilots said
00:25:03.400 it's true,
00:25:03.800 it's probably
00:25:04.120 true.
00:25:05.440 Not in my
00:25:06.040 universe.
00:25:06.880 In my
00:25:07.240 universe,
00:25:07.720 it just
00:25:08.000 means three
00:25:09.080 people got
00:25:09.580 together and
00:25:11.100 started a
00:25:11.660 hoax.
00:25:12.640 Do you
00:25:12.860 know all
00:25:13.160 of the
00:25:13.520 crop circles?
00:25:15.360 When I
00:25:15.780 was a
00:25:16.060 kid,
00:25:16.360 that was a
00:25:16.680 big thing.
00:25:17.660 They thought
00:25:18.020 the aliens
00:25:19.300 were coming
00:25:19.700 down and
00:25:20.140 making flattening
00:25:21.560 corn or
00:25:22.260 wheat to
00:25:22.860 make it look
00:25:23.340 like there
00:25:23.640 was a
00:25:23.920 circle and
00:25:24.640 then designs.
00:25:25.780 Of course,
00:25:26.220 it came out
00:25:26.660 and it was
00:25:26.900 just farmers
00:25:27.560 having a good
00:25:28.240 time.
00:25:29.180 The thing
00:25:29.460 was all a
00:25:29.880 prank.
00:25:30.960 Well,
00:25:32.520 there were
00:25:33.460 lots of
00:25:34.400 witnesses to
00:25:36.340 crop circles.
00:25:37.720 There are
00:25:38.360 lots of
00:25:38.860 witnesses to
00:25:40.300 alien abductions.
00:25:42.280 Do you
00:25:42.480 think that the
00:25:42.960 number of
00:25:43.460 witnesses,
00:25:44.820 even if they
00:25:45.460 saw exactly
00:25:46.080 the same
00:25:46.520 event,
00:25:47.600 do you think
00:25:48.040 that lends
00:25:48.540 credibility?
00:25:50.200 Because even
00:25:51.520 the fact that
00:25:52.060 there were
00:25:52.300 pilots, do you
00:25:52.880 think it
00:25:53.140 lends
00:25:53.620 credibility?
00:25:54.100 we've had
00:25:55.320 eyewitness
00:25:55.960 accounts for
00:25:57.320 everything from
00:25:58.160 the Loch Ness
00:25:58.820 monster to
00:25:59.940 Bigfoot to
00:26:01.040 aliens to
00:26:01.820 ghosts, and
00:26:03.200 many of them
00:26:03.660 have multiple
00:26:04.480 eyewitness
00:26:05.760 accounts.
00:26:06.700 So it's the
00:26:07.480 most ordinary
00:26:08.060 thing in the
00:26:08.640 world for
00:26:09.880 multiple people
00:26:10.860 to think they
00:26:11.820 saw something
00:26:12.460 that wasn't
00:26:13.060 there.
00:26:13.740 It's very
00:26:14.120 ordinary.
00:26:14.400 So, what
00:26:16.440 is more
00:26:17.600 likely?
00:26:19.000 There's an
00:26:19.880 advanced race
00:26:21.760 of aliens
00:26:22.300 who have
00:26:23.800 been here,
00:26:25.200 and they've
00:26:25.540 got this
00:26:26.080 physics-defying
00:26:27.720 ship that
00:26:28.740 can do
00:26:29.060 things that
00:26:29.880 aren't even
00:26:30.320 possible under
00:26:31.100 physical laws,
00:26:32.380 and yet we
00:26:33.780 did capture
00:26:34.400 them on
00:26:34.800 camera, but
00:26:36.340 even though
00:26:37.320 they're here,
00:26:38.120 we can't find
00:26:38.760 better evidence,
00:26:39.820 and we can't
00:26:40.380 really get a
00:26:40.840 clean photo.
00:26:41.720 It's always a
00:26:42.220 smudge, and
00:26:43.740 it seemed to
00:26:45.140 flip upside
00:26:46.040 down, more
00:26:47.240 like a piece
00:26:47.820 of dirt on
00:26:48.560 a camera than
00:26:49.360 a spaceship.
00:26:52.480 So it could
00:26:53.600 be there's an
00:26:54.820 advanced alien
00:26:55.980 civilization
00:26:57.200 visiting us,
00:26:58.380 and for all
00:26:59.340 these special
00:27:00.620 coincidences, we
00:27:02.200 can only see
00:27:02.800 them on grainy
00:27:03.560 video, and
00:27:04.980 that's it.
00:27:05.460 We can't get
00:27:05.920 better evidence
00:27:06.500 of that.
00:27:07.000 That's possible.
00:27:08.480 Possible.
00:27:09.700 You cannot
00:27:10.360 rule that out.
00:27:12.080 That is
00:27:12.480 completely
00:27:12.940 possible.
00:27:14.740 Let's
00:27:15.260 compare it
00:27:15.800 to, I
00:27:16.660 don't know,
00:27:17.940 another
00:27:18.440 hypothesis.
00:27:20.120 Let's pick
00:27:20.840 one other
00:27:21.940 explanation, no
00:27:23.620 matter how
00:27:24.060 wild it is,
00:27:24.820 just so we
00:27:25.220 have a
00:27:25.480 comparison,
00:27:26.500 because you
00:27:26.860 want to have
00:27:27.160 a comparison
00:27:27.960 to know you've
00:27:28.660 really thought
00:27:29.620 about it right.
00:27:30.480 So I'm just
00:27:31.360 going to throw
00:27:31.760 this out here.
00:27:35.120 People are 1.00
00:27:35.840 stupid, and 1.00
00:27:36.500 they lie, and 1.00
00:27:38.080 we're deluded
00:27:38.700 about things all
00:27:39.620 the time.
00:27:41.020 I mean, I'm
00:27:41.400 just going to
00:27:41.680 throw that out
00:27:42.200 there.
00:27:43.740 People lie
00:27:44.740 about stuff.
00:27:45.760 People believe
00:27:46.680 they saw
00:27:47.060 things they
00:27:47.540 didn't.
00:27:48.540 People believe
00:27:49.280 they saw
00:27:49.720 things because
00:27:50.940 their friends
00:27:51.560 said he
00:27:52.060 saw it.
00:27:53.120 How easy
00:27:53.820 would it be
00:27:54.300 to imagine
00:27:54.920 that one
00:27:57.040 pilot was just
00:27:57.840 looking at
00:27:58.300 something and
00:27:59.260 saw something
00:28:01.040 natural and
00:28:02.860 didn't know
00:28:03.380 what it was,
00:28:03.940 and the other
00:28:04.320 pilot was
00:28:04.840 saying, did
00:28:05.560 you see that?
00:28:06.260 Did you see
00:28:06.660 that?
00:28:07.140 It defied
00:28:07.820 physics.
00:28:08.320 And the
00:28:08.680 guy in the
00:28:09.020 other plane
00:28:09.420 is like, I
00:28:11.040 think I
00:28:11.380 did see
00:28:11.700 that.
00:28:12.440 As a matter
00:28:12.940 of fact, I
00:28:13.420 think I
00:28:14.320 did.
00:28:15.200 You can
00:28:15.880 convince
00:28:16.480 somebody they
00:28:17.160 saw something
00:28:17.940 that quickly,
00:28:20.380 and a false
00:28:21.240 memory can be
00:28:22.380 spontaneously created
00:28:23.760 just that
00:28:24.140 quickly.
00:28:25.440 It's very
00:28:26.140 easy to do.
00:28:27.120 We've been
00:28:27.400 watching false
00:28:28.420 memories be
00:28:29.060 created all
00:28:29.620 week.
00:28:30.700 Do you know
00:28:31.240 that, I'll bet,
00:28:33.100 if you did a
00:28:33.780 survey, and you
00:28:35.020 said, did you
00:28:36.720 hear the
00:28:37.200 President of
00:28:37.760 the United
00:28:38.100 States say
00:28:40.040 in his own
00:28:40.560 words that
00:28:41.780 maybe we
00:28:42.260 should consider
00:28:42.900 injecting
00:28:43.720 household bleach
00:28:45.260 and Lysol
00:28:45.900 into your
00:28:46.540 veins?
00:28:47.300 Did he say
00:28:48.060 that on TV?
00:28:50.240 Do you know
00:28:50.840 how many
00:28:51.160 Democrats would 0.89
00:28:51.860 say, see it,
00:28:52.960 I saw it with
00:28:53.400 my own eyes,
00:28:54.100 I heard it.
00:28:54.940 Yeah, of
00:28:55.460 course he did.
00:28:56.340 Now, it
00:28:56.660 didn't happen.
00:28:58.360 All right?
00:28:58.720 Most of you
00:28:59.160 know that,
00:28:59.620 right?
00:28:59.860 It didn't
00:29:00.240 happen.
00:29:01.160 But how many
00:29:01.700 people could
00:29:02.220 you get to
00:29:02.820 be an
00:29:03.140 eyewitness who
00:29:04.380 say, not
00:29:05.040 only did it
00:29:05.500 happen,
00:29:05.780 I was
00:29:07.060 there.
00:29:07.700 Dude, I
00:29:08.100 saw it.
00:29:09.060 I mean, I
00:29:09.400 heard it, I
00:29:09.860 saw it, there's
00:29:11.020 no question
00:29:11.440 about it.
00:29:11.800 I saw it
00:29:12.140 live.
00:29:13.140 I was in
00:29:13.580 the audience.
00:29:15.320 And yet it
00:29:15.780 didn't happen.
00:29:17.460 So, you're
00:29:19.120 watching every
00:29:19.960 day in the
00:29:20.540 news, people
00:29:21.820 have spontaneous
00:29:22.940 false memories
00:29:24.000 for which there
00:29:25.340 are literally
00:29:25.940 millions of
00:29:28.000 other witnesses.
00:29:30.160 Millions.
00:29:31.620 Millions of
00:29:32.340 people believe
00:29:33.660 the President
00:29:34.240 suggested shooting
00:29:35.320 up with
00:29:35.800 Clorox and
00:29:36.480 Lysol.
00:29:37.500 Millions.
00:29:39.000 Never
00:29:39.360 happened.
00:29:40.820 There's no
00:29:41.440 part of the
00:29:41.880 real world in
00:29:42.560 which that
00:29:42.900 happened.
00:29:44.800 So, how
00:29:45.660 unusual would
00:29:46.320 it be for
00:29:47.100 some pilots
00:29:47.700 to be
00:29:49.120 spewing some
00:29:50.180 BS and
00:29:51.060 have, you
00:29:51.660 know, some
00:29:52.180 dirt on their
00:29:52.760 camera or some
00:29:53.500 other malfunction?
00:29:55.800 One of them is
00:29:56.580 a lot more
00:29:57.040 likely than the
00:29:57.740 other.
00:29:58.360 That's all I'm
00:29:58.940 saying.
00:29:59.780 If you had to
00:30:00.480 put a bet on
00:30:01.220 it, one of
00:30:02.420 them is a lot
00:30:03.120 more likely than
00:30:04.020 the other.
00:30:05.320 It looks like
00:30:06.520 Diamond and
00:30:07.080 Silk got
00:30:07.760 booted from
00:30:08.580 Fox, rumor
00:30:10.220 has it, for
00:30:11.760 spreading some
00:30:12.560 coronavirus
00:30:13.020 conspiracy theories,
00:30:15.140 to which I
00:30:16.680 say, boy, that's
00:30:18.480 a fine line,
00:30:19.360 isn't it?
00:30:20.780 Isn't that kind
00:30:21.540 of a fine line?
00:30:23.800 You know, what's
00:30:24.400 the line between
00:30:25.140 a coronavirus
00:30:25.900 conspiracy theory
00:30:27.600 and what's
00:30:28.700 actually happening
00:30:29.540 and how people
00:30:31.040 are actually
00:30:31.660 talking about it?
00:30:32.420 don't we have
00:30:33.660 legitimate people
00:30:35.400 saying it's no
00:30:36.160 problem at the
00:30:36.920 same time other
00:30:37.540 legitimate people
00:30:38.520 are saying it's a
00:30:39.660 big problem?
00:30:40.360 I mean, we're
00:30:40.860 reporting the facts
00:30:41.700 completely opposite.
00:30:43.360 Are you telling
00:30:43.820 me that Diamond
00:30:44.440 and Silk,
00:30:45.480 they're the only
00:30:46.260 ones who got
00:30:46.800 something wrong
00:30:47.480 about the
00:30:47.880 coronavirus?
00:30:49.480 I don't think
00:30:50.280 so.
00:30:51.100 Now, I don't
00:30:52.240 think it's a good
00:30:53.480 idea to speculate
00:30:55.040 on too many
00:30:57.120 conspiracy theories,
00:30:58.120 but I'm just
00:31:00.200 going to say
00:31:00.660 that there's
00:31:01.460 no distance
00:31:02.240 between a
00:31:02.800 conspiracy theory
00:31:03.740 and all the
00:31:04.220 bad information
00:31:04.960 we've been
00:31:05.380 getting from
00:31:05.860 every legitimate
00:31:06.640 source, and I
00:31:08.000 don't think
00:31:08.280 there's anybody
00:31:08.900 who hasn't
00:31:09.460 speculated.
00:31:10.880 You know, we've
00:31:11.380 all speculated
00:31:12.160 about the medical
00:31:12.940 possibilities, we
00:31:14.020 speculated about
00:31:14.860 who's lying, we
00:31:16.260 speculated whether
00:31:17.160 it's a bio
00:31:18.240 weapon or
00:31:18.880 accidental.
00:31:20.460 What's the
00:31:21.060 difference between
00:31:21.700 what Diamond and
00:31:22.500 Silk we're doing?
00:31:24.420 Can't they
00:31:24.900 speculate?
00:31:25.900 Well, is there a
00:31:26.500 rule that says
00:31:27.020 they can't speculate,
00:31:27.820 but everybody
00:31:28.300 else can?
00:31:29.540 All right, so, I
00:31:31.820 don't know that
00:31:32.540 Fox needs to hire
00:31:33.520 them back.
00:31:34.180 They may have, you
00:31:35.540 know, their act
00:31:36.460 kind of, it could
00:31:37.860 be it was
00:31:38.580 convenient, you
00:31:40.140 know, I'm
00:31:40.620 guessing that Fox
00:31:41.600 management probably
00:31:42.780 said, you know,
00:31:43.960 they're great, but
00:31:46.080 their act is sort
00:31:47.960 of repetitious, you
00:31:49.120 know, if you see
00:31:50.020 them a lot, you
00:31:51.420 might say to
00:31:51.920 yourself, yeah, I've
00:31:52.860 seen that before.
00:31:53.480 So, President
00:31:59.560 Trump, who is 0.90
00:32:00.320 terrible at
00:32:00.860 keeping a
00:32:01.300 secret, apparently
00:32:03.200 let slip that
00:32:04.140 Kim is alive, that
00:32:06.120 Kim Jong-un.
00:32:07.180 Now, he did
00:32:08.060 that indirectly.
00:32:11.520 So, he said
00:32:12.200 several things that
00:32:13.220 indicate that he
00:32:14.080 knows that Kim
00:32:15.520 is still alive, but
00:32:17.000 obviously not in
00:32:17.860 good shape.
00:32:18.360 So, without
00:32:19.920 confirming it, the
00:32:20.880 President has
00:32:21.480 confirmed that, at
00:32:22.500 least based on the
00:32:23.180 information he has,
00:32:24.560 which one assumes is
00:32:25.620 better than what we
00:32:26.380 have, he said he
00:32:27.580 wouldn't talk about
00:32:28.240 it, but that he
00:32:29.320 wishes Kim well, and
00:32:31.360 he's really sure that
00:32:32.500 Kim did not send a
00:32:33.500 message on his own
00:32:34.320 over the weekend,
00:32:35.040 which means the
00:32:36.420 President knows that
00:32:37.920 Kim isn't conscious.
00:32:39.820 He's not making any
00:32:40.560 decisions.
00:32:41.760 But the President
00:32:42.760 did wish him well,
00:32:44.720 which is not really
00:32:45.800 what you'd say right
00:32:47.760 after you said you
00:32:48.680 know what the
00:32:49.280 situation is.
00:32:51.000 If it turns out
00:32:51.860 later that he's
00:32:53.080 already left this
00:32:53.880 planet, why would
00:32:55.720 Trump say, yeah, I
00:32:57.000 know the situation
00:32:57.840 and I wish him well
00:32:58.820 if he had already
00:33:00.800 passed on?
00:33:01.980 All right, that
00:33:02.420 didn't happen.
00:33:03.600 So, the President,
00:33:04.980 who's terrible at
00:33:05.640 keeping a secret,
00:33:06.460 basically just told
00:33:07.300 us that Kim's in
00:33:08.720 bad shape.
00:33:10.720 Did you watch the
00:33:11.980 press conference
00:33:12.620 today?
00:33:12.980 It was really
00:33:18.020 interesting because I
00:33:19.500 thought Trump's
00:33:20.680 blowing off of the
00:33:22.660 illegitimate reporters
00:33:23.900 was right on today.
00:33:26.940 I thought he was
00:33:27.800 right on today because
00:33:29.780 he stopped treating
00:33:31.280 them seriously, and
00:33:33.680 he also stopped
00:33:34.580 treating them, he
00:33:37.000 stopped going just
00:33:37.800 hard at them.
00:33:39.040 Because when he goes
00:33:40.060 hard at them, he
00:33:40.820 makes stars out of
00:33:41.740 them, and it
00:33:42.500 elevates the whole
00:33:43.300 thing.
00:33:43.980 But today he got a
00:33:44.880 couple of, you know, 0.98
00:33:45.520 those ridiculous 0.99
00:33:46.180 questions. 0.95
00:33:46.860 I don't even remember
00:33:47.480 what they were.
00:33:48.020 They were the, you
00:33:49.120 know, trying to get
00:33:50.140 you, got you
00:33:50.560 questions.
00:33:51.480 And he just blew
00:33:52.600 them off and went
00:33:53.620 to the next question.
00:33:55.220 And I thought, oh,
00:33:56.880 that is so boss.
00:33:58.340 Because I didn't like
00:33:59.240 it when he gets too
00:34:00.000 defensive, even though
00:34:01.020 I like the show.
00:34:02.000 I have to admit, I do
00:34:02.900 like it when he goes
00:34:03.600 after the reporters
00:34:04.320 because I like the
00:34:05.040 show.
00:34:05.580 But I didn't think it
00:34:06.280 was helping him.
00:34:07.720 It's one thing for me
00:34:08.640 to enjoy the show, but
00:34:10.420 I would also like him
00:34:11.300 to do well, right?
00:34:12.440 And I don't think it
00:34:12.960 was helping him.
00:34:14.180 So today I thought he
00:34:15.320 had just, did anybody
00:34:17.640 see this today?
00:34:19.720 Tell me if, tell me if
00:34:21.240 that's an accurate
00:34:22.240 description.
00:34:24.020 I thought he, I thought
00:34:25.800 he threaded the needle
00:34:26.780 this time.
00:34:28.120 You know, you never
00:34:28.820 know what you're going
00:34:29.360 to get with Trump, so
00:34:30.580 that's part of the fun.
00:34:31.920 But I thought he
00:34:32.820 threaded the needle.
00:34:33.740 It was just the right
00:34:35.080 amount of dismissing
00:34:36.380 them without being a 0.99
00:34:38.220 jerk. 0.99
00:34:39.340 And if you, if you 0.97
00:34:40.320 lower your own, you
00:34:41.360 know, jerkiness, if you 0.67
00:34:42.700 will, your own response,
00:34:45.120 it, it helps to put some
00:34:47.740 contrast on the, on the
00:34:49.540 reporter.
00:34:50.080 It's like, well, I'm
00:34:50.980 being normal right now.
00:34:52.560 I'm thinking about the
00:34:53.660 country right now.
00:34:55.060 What are you doing?
00:34:56.020 Like, what is that
00:34:56.660 question?
00:34:57.020 Somebody doesn't know
00:35:02.680 I do a periscope at
00:35:03.660 night.
00:35:06.060 So I enjoyed that.
00:35:07.420 So good work there.
00:35:09.780 Here's an interesting
00:35:10.680 story.
00:35:11.880 So I, I asked this
00:35:13.020 question in a tweet, but
00:35:14.160 I already knew the
00:35:14.780 answer.
00:35:15.420 So sometimes it's more
00:35:16.760 fun to put things in a
00:35:17.740 question form.
00:35:18.900 And this is what I
00:35:19.880 tweeted.
00:35:20.260 I said, historians,
00:35:21.660 please verify.
00:35:25.380 But didn't China once
00:35:26.820 have a huge foreign 0.57
00:35:27.840 debt problem.
00:35:29.420 A lot of that was owed
00:35:30.660 to the United States
00:35:31.920 that is solved by
00:35:33.700 changing its name and
00:35:34.760 saying the debt belonged
00:35:35.620 to the last government.
00:35:38.540 Did, did you know
00:35:39.720 that's a real thing?
00:35:41.140 It's a real thing.
00:35:42.600 So, uh, in a pre, uh,
00:35:45.240 communist party, you
00:35:46.300 know, pre-government
00:35:47.300 before the government
00:35:48.260 that exists now, uh,
00:35:50.600 earlier China had
00:35:52.160 borrowed, and I think
00:35:53.020 something like a
00:35:54.040 trillion dollars from,
00:35:56.160 uh, from the United
00:35:58.060 States and other
00:35:58.680 places, and, and we,
00:36:03.040 we're still owed it.
00:36:04.600 So there are people in
00:36:05.600 the United States who
00:36:06.400 have these ancient, uh,
00:36:08.300 I think they're bearer
00:36:09.240 bonds, you know, like a
00:36:10.240 piece of paper that says
00:36:11.300 I will pay you X, you
00:36:12.800 know, money, you know,
00:36:14.420 my name is China.
00:36:15.960 So we have like a
00:36:16.920 trillion dollars of debt
00:36:17.980 that China says they 0.61
00:36:19.560 don't owe us anymore
00:36:20.480 because they changed
00:36:21.320 their name.
00:36:21.780 That's a real thing.
00:36:25.160 They changed their name.
00:36:26.540 So it said, oh, oh,
00:36:27.780 you're thinking of old
00:36:28.500 China.
00:36:29.520 No, no, we're not old
00:36:31.540 China.
00:36:32.280 We didn't make that
00:36:33.240 deal.
00:36:33.980 Look at our government.
00:36:34.900 Do you see anybody in
00:36:35.640 this government who made
00:36:36.520 that deal?
00:36:37.340 No, that wasn't us.
00:36:40.660 And so they didn't pay.
00:36:42.220 So there's a trillion
00:36:43.260 dollars of Chinese debt.
00:36:44.780 I think maybe just the
00:36:45.960 United States part is
00:36:47.000 that big and they just
00:36:48.380 didn't pay and they
00:36:49.760 don't have to because
00:36:51.080 they're, they say, no,
00:36:52.120 that wasn't us.
00:36:53.100 That was those other
00:36:53.680 guys.
00:36:55.100 So I'm not suggesting
00:36:56.600 that we do that, but I'm
00:37:02.460 not suggesting we don't.
00:37:05.040 I'm just saying we should
00:37:05.820 look at it.
00:37:07.120 You know, just, just
00:37:07.900 give it a look.
00:37:10.420 I don't know what the
00:37:11.560 pros and the cons of that
00:37:12.560 are.
00:37:14.780 Rachel Maddow's lawyer
00:37:16.060 said in open court, he
00:37:19.380 was trying to defend her
00:37:20.480 from charges of defaming
00:37:24.220 somebody.
00:37:25.620 And he said that her
00:37:28.360 statement is quintessential
00:37:29.820 statements of rhetorical
00:37:31.040 hyperbole, incapable of
00:37:33.040 being proven true or false.
00:37:35.040 In other words, her lawyer
00:37:35.980 said that she can't have 0.59
00:37:38.380 defamed somebody because
00:37:39.460 you have to understand that
00:37:40.600 nothing she says is
00:37:42.140 reliable.
00:37:44.780 So how would you like to
00:37:46.820 be a Stanford graduate,
00:37:49.680 a Oxford graduate,
00:37:52.920 and what, was she like a
00:37:55.040 Fulbright scholar or
00:37:56.100 something like that?
00:37:57.160 So Rachel Maddow is 0.60
00:37:58.800 seriously smart.
00:38:00.580 Like, you know, say what
00:38:02.020 you will.
00:38:02.660 You know, I know you don't
00:38:03.660 like the politics, blah,
00:38:04.760 blah, blah.
00:38:05.840 But seriously smart.
00:38:07.360 I mean, you don't want to
00:38:08.640 compete with her on the 0.88
00:38:11.080 SATs is what I'm saying.
00:38:13.600 So the super smart person
00:38:15.660 has to have her lawyer, 0.99
00:38:17.600 also smart, one assumes,
00:38:19.920 arguing on her behalf that
00:38:22.040 she doesn't know what the
00:38:22.960 word literal means.
00:38:25.080 That's actually a big part of
00:38:26.380 their case because the
00:38:28.100 insult in question, the
00:38:30.860 defaming part, used the word
00:38:33.220 literally, which is key to the
00:38:34.920 claim because what she said
00:38:36.540 is X person is literally 0.82
00:38:39.060 being paid by Russia, which
00:38:41.620 was not true.
00:38:43.160 X, whoever it was, was not
00:38:44.820 being paid by Russia, not
00:38:46.640 literally and not
00:38:47.640 figuratively.
00:38:48.940 Now, the lawyers pointed
00:38:51.980 out that she has used the
00:38:53.620 word literally correctly to
00:38:56.060 mean something actually
00:38:57.040 happening, you know, not
00:38:58.360 figuratively.
00:38:59.120 She's used it correctly a 0.74
00:39:00.460 whole bunch of times in ways
00:39:02.240 that it's obvious that she
00:39:03.300 knows the difference, you
00:39:04.760 know, as in this literally
00:39:06.720 happened two minutes ago
00:39:07.960 and, you know, it actually
00:39:09.320 did happen two minutes ago,
00:39:10.480 so literally it did.
00:39:12.300 So she knows the word.
00:39:14.300 She has two prestigious
00:39:15.740 degrees.
00:39:16.560 She has an IQ that's 1.00
00:39:17.700 probably through the roof
00:39:18.820 and she has to win her case
00:39:20.720 by arguing that she's not
00:39:21.880 actually smart.
00:39:24.720 That's her best play.
00:39:26.260 Her best play is that she's 1.00
00:39:28.500 kind of dumb and she lies a 1.00
00:39:30.300 lot or she just makes stuff 1.00
00:39:31.860 up, I guess, some version
00:39:33.600 of that.
00:39:35.660 Well, good luck with that, I
00:39:37.320 say.
00:39:42.240 Making 10 million a year, yeah.
00:39:47.160 Whatever she's doing, she's
00:39:48.680 doing it well, apparently, if
00:39:51.580 she's getting paid that much. 1.00
00:39:53.440 All right.
00:39:55.560 It's a show, not the truth.
00:39:57.540 That is correct.
00:39:58.200 You know, I say this a lot,
00:40:01.220 but Fox News deserves a lot
00:40:03.980 of credit for how well they
00:40:06.360 label their opinion shows
00:40:07.980 versus their new shows.
00:40:09.860 And I know there are some
00:40:10.740 people who can't tell the
00:40:11.620 difference, but I think the
00:40:13.100 obligation of the program is
00:40:16.360 just to label it, you know,
00:40:18.080 to make sure people know the
00:40:19.200 difference.
00:40:19.660 If they choose not to know
00:40:21.440 the difference, if they choose
00:40:22.860 to treat the opinion people as
00:40:25.120 fact people, that's sort of on
00:40:26.460 them.
00:40:27.340 But you have to admit that on
00:40:28.740 CNN, it's a little less
00:40:30.120 obvious.
00:40:31.540 You know, who is the news?
00:40:32.800 Who's the opinion?
00:40:36.440 And the fact that they all
00:40:37.720 hate Trump is pretty obvious.
00:40:40.600 All right.
00:40:44.140 Smart does not equal
00:40:45.320 intelligence, somebody says.
00:40:47.260 Yeah, I suppose you could
00:40:48.420 argue that.
00:40:51.460 China holds U.S. bonds
00:40:52.860 converted from trade imbalances.
00:40:54.600 These are bought and sold on the
00:40:56.060 open market.
00:41:00.020 Yeah, so I don't know if we have
00:41:01.520 any options for doing anything
00:41:03.320 to China to get reparations or
00:41:06.680 anything from this coronavirus
00:41:08.080 stuff.
00:41:08.660 They're just going to say that,
00:41:10.240 you know, I assume they'll just
00:41:11.200 say, eh, it wasn't us.
00:41:13.460 And that's the end of it.
00:41:18.240 Yeah, we're hearing some stories
00:41:19.600 about meat packing problems and
00:41:22.500 shortages, but I don't think that
00:41:24.280 translates into a food shortage.
00:41:27.220 Because if you had to be a
00:41:29.560 vegetarian for a few months, you
00:41:31.620 wouldn't die.
00:41:33.240 All right.
00:41:33.860 If you have to be a vegetarian for
00:41:35.840 two months, you'll be okay.
00:41:37.940 But I have a feeling that they'll get
00:41:39.360 those meat packing places up and
00:41:40.960 running in 30 days or something
00:41:43.260 just because we have to.
00:41:44.260 Could I do a 15-minute show for
00:41:50.020 YouTube?
00:41:50.980 Why would I do that?
00:41:53.880 Nicotine products in France are
00:41:56.100 banned.
00:41:57.120 Yeah, wasn't there a, there was some
00:41:59.320 thought that nicotine might protect
00:42:03.440 you?
00:42:03.840 And as soon as I saw that, I was
00:42:05.220 like, oh, no, no.
00:42:06.620 People are going to start smoking and
00:42:08.100 get nicotine patches.
00:42:09.640 But it's even worse than that.
00:42:10.760 So, you know, when, when there was a
00:42:15.080 run on the hydroxychloroquine, I said
00:42:17.000 to myself, I'm glad I don't need any
00:42:20.220 hydroxychloroquine.
00:42:21.580 I'm glad I don't have one of those, you
00:42:23.200 know, lupus or arthritis conditions or
00:42:26.200 malaria or something where I need that
00:42:27.960 pill because it'd be hard to get now.
00:42:30.720 And then today there's a new story that
00:42:33.440 one pill that I do take might work.
00:42:36.660 Famotidine, famotidine, I think it's a
00:42:40.700 heartburn drug.
00:42:41.960 So it's a acid reflex drug, which I
00:42:44.360 actually take.
00:42:45.380 Apparently people who have been taking
00:42:46.880 that are not having as much problems, but
00:42:50.280 don't go run and buy a bunch of stuff.
00:42:53.600 Pepsidaceae, yeah.
00:42:55.160 Pepsidaceae is made of that material that
00:42:57.480 I just said.
00:42:58.360 There are a number of products that have
00:43:01.020 that.
00:43:01.800 Interestingly, on day one of the, when
00:43:05.020 people were hoarding, all of the
00:43:08.040 famotidine got bought out in the first
00:43:10.960 few days.
00:43:11.740 So it was one of the things that people
00:43:13.420 hoarded on day one.
00:43:15.280 But so far I've managed to, and I
00:43:18.100 couldn't even get it from my health
00:43:19.560 care provider.
00:43:21.280 But I know the supply is a little
00:43:23.700 better.
00:43:24.460 So somebody says it's famotidine.
00:43:28.760 Famotidine.
00:43:29.960 Looks like you know what you're talking
00:43:31.220 about, so I'll say that that's true.
00:43:32.540 Oh yeah, then Singulair, another asthma
00:43:36.180 medication, has some indications it
00:43:40.200 works.
00:43:41.640 Let me ask you this.
00:43:44.820 So we heard from the president and
00:43:47.520 others that there are a whole bunch of
00:43:49.800 trials going on for therapeutics.
00:43:53.180 I think several dozen.
00:43:55.560 I don't know the exact number, but
00:43:57.280 somewhere in the range of 30 different
00:44:00.060 trials for different therapeutics, and
00:44:03.120 then a whole bunch of trials for
00:44:04.700 vaccines.
00:44:05.500 I don't know how many, but it feels like
00:44:07.140 dozens.
00:44:08.600 Now let me ask you this.
00:44:10.760 Do you think that out of that, let's say
00:44:12.680 it's 30, of the 30 therapeutics that are
00:44:15.820 being studied, how many of those do you
00:44:19.440 think are like really good chances?
00:44:21.880 Here's why I ask.
00:44:23.100 At the beginning of the crisis, everybody,
00:44:27.260 including scientists, realized that suddenly
00:44:29.740 their incomes were in jeopardy, right?
00:44:32.440 It didn't matter what you were doing or who
00:44:34.440 you were, you suddenly said, oh, my income is
00:44:37.720 in jeopardy.
00:44:38.480 I mean, even my income basically will
00:44:40.200 disappear.
00:44:41.260 So after the end of this, I have to go get a
00:44:43.080 job or something because I won't be a
00:44:45.000 cartoonist anymore.
00:44:46.860 There won't be any newspapers after this.
00:44:48.280 So you have all these scientists who know
00:44:52.920 that even they need to figure out how to
00:44:57.080 make ends meet, and they might not be able
00:44:59.320 to do it with their regular job.
00:45:01.720 So then they hear that the government is
00:45:05.920 desperate to get some trials going of
00:45:08.380 therapeutics.
00:45:09.400 So you're a scientist.
00:45:11.040 You're not sure you have any other kind of
00:45:12.700 work.
00:45:13.280 It's the only work you can get.
00:45:15.040 The government just said we have all this
00:45:16.800 emergency, billions of dollars.
00:45:18.280 You just have to apply for it, and we'll
00:45:21.140 fund you because we're desperate.
00:45:24.580 What do the scientists do when the only
00:45:27.000 place they can get money is from the
00:45:28.520 government, and only if they're testing
00:45:30.680 coronavirus solutions?
00:45:33.740 Well, let me tell you how that goes.
00:45:35.980 A person who maybe saw something about
00:45:38.580 hydroxychloroquine says, you know, I think
00:45:41.020 there's a good reason this might work.
00:45:42.460 I'll test this.
00:45:43.660 Somebody looks at remdesivir and says, we
00:45:45.880 have good indications that this is
00:45:47.800 this has got a chance.
00:45:49.660 So we'll test this.
00:45:51.300 What do the others do?
00:45:53.260 Well, I'll tell you what they do.
00:45:54.960 They go into their closet, and they take
00:45:56.860 out a tube of toothpaste, and they say,
00:45:59.660 let's use some of this in a petri dish,
00:46:02.300 because if it kills the coronavirus even a
00:46:04.320 little bit, I'm going to say we're going to
00:46:06.300 study toothpaste, and we can get some study
00:46:09.060 money, and we'll just study toothpaste.
00:46:11.240 So I think out of the 30 or so therapeutics
00:46:16.280 that are being studied, the way you should
00:46:18.480 look at it is there might be two or three
00:46:20.980 that have some real promise, and probably 20 or
00:46:24.620 seven or 28 that are the equivalent of
00:46:27.600 toothpaste, which is a scientist said, you
00:46:30.080 know, I only got one way to get paid.
00:46:32.580 I guess I'm testing something for the
00:46:35.520 coronavirus.
00:46:36.520 Is there anything laying around?
00:46:38.160 I'll use whatever's in my medicine cabinet.
00:46:40.760 Oh, how about some, how about some
00:46:43.360 Femotidine?
00:46:45.160 Yeah.
00:46:45.680 What else we got in there?
00:46:47.340 Singulair.
00:46:48.520 Uh-huh.
00:46:49.300 Yeah, let's test that.
00:46:50.400 So, I just have, I just have a suspicion that
00:46:58.640 the vast majority of the trials, both for
00:47:01.260 therapeutics and for vaccines, are not even
00:47:05.640 close to being real.
00:47:07.500 Not even close.
00:47:09.040 Everybody who's worked in a big organization
00:47:11.340 is nodding their head right now, right?
00:47:14.320 For those of you who don't have experience in
00:47:16.880 large organizations in which people are putting
00:47:19.660 together funding requests.
00:47:21.080 It's what I used to do for a living.
00:47:22.820 I would put together funding requests for,
00:47:25.140 you know, big hardware upgrades and stuff.
00:47:28.400 And so I've seen the budget process.
00:47:32.380 All you need, all you need is a big pot of
00:47:36.920 money and somebody who's not checking too
00:47:38.760 carefully, and people are going to ask for
00:47:40.860 that money.
00:47:41.500 That's the way it works.
00:47:43.920 Somebody says, I'm cynical.
00:47:45.760 The difference between cynical and
00:47:48.480 correct tends to be how much experience you
00:47:52.600 have.
00:47:53.600 So, if you don't have much experience, I look
00:47:56.900 cynical.
00:47:57.960 If you have experience, I just look correct.
00:48:03.160 Oh, somebody in the comments says, yes,
00:48:06.380 they're nodding in agreement because they
00:48:08.660 write grants.
00:48:09.680 So, somebody who writes grants is saying, oh,
00:48:12.480 yeah, yeah, we'll throw the toothpaste at it to 1.00
00:48:15.360 get some money.
00:48:15.940 It's a person who writes grants.
00:48:19.080 Don't take my guess.
00:48:20.820 Take it from the person who does it for a
00:48:22.400 living or did it for a living.
00:48:26.460 My chewing tobacco addiction has fully come
00:48:29.240 full circle to help me.
00:48:30.980 I tell you, we can't believe anything anymore.
00:48:36.320 Oh, somebody says their company gets that
00:48:38.480 money and they're fully employed.
00:48:39.980 Well, there you go.
00:48:40.580 Yeah, all these companies that are close to a
00:48:46.740 vaccine.
00:48:47.420 Let me ask you this.
00:48:48.860 Why were there not 30 therapeutics and 30
00:48:52.320 vaccines being tested for every regular flu?
00:48:55.700 Well, I guess they, I'll retract the question
00:48:58.940 about the vaccines because that's a special
00:49:00.700 process.
00:49:01.180 But why don't we have 30 trials every year for
00:49:06.540 the seasonal flu that kills hundreds of thousands
00:49:08.940 around the world?
00:49:10.320 Like, why is it just this year that suddenly there
00:49:13.420 are 30 things to test?
00:49:15.280 We didn't have 30 things that were worth testing
00:49:17.560 last year.
00:49:19.380 So, that's what makes me suspect that most of them
00:49:21.780 are not real.
00:49:22.300 All right.
00:49:26.380 Oxford is supposedly close to one.
00:49:29.420 Yeah.
00:49:29.980 I don't know what that means in the vaccine world.
00:49:32.280 I think being close to having a vaccine,
00:49:35.800 I'm not sure if it means anything in that world.
00:49:40.780 It just means they're close to testing.
00:49:42.700 It doesn't mean they're close to having one.
00:49:47.180 Thoughts on hospitals getting paid $39,000 for
00:49:50.120 every person who dies on a ventilator?
00:49:52.880 Well, that would seem suboptimal.
00:49:56.620 Money corrupts, but I doubt doctors in the
00:49:59.740 emergency room are making that calculation.
00:50:02.740 Now, I can't rule it out because we live in a
00:50:04.520 terrible world, so maybe those doctors have been
00:50:06.620 talked to by the hospital administration or
00:50:09.700 something, but I don't know about that.
00:50:14.980 I think the most exciting thing happening is
00:50:17.300 the nose capula or whatever it's called.
00:50:20.660 So they found a way that instead of using a
00:50:23.400 ventilator, they do a nose thing where it just
00:50:27.600 pushes warm, moist air up your nose.
00:50:31.200 And apparently, people rarely die and rarely need
00:50:36.140 ventilators if they do that.
00:50:37.560 But the ventilator is sort of a one-way trip.
00:50:40.780 I think 97% don't make it out in some places.
00:50:44.240 But in other places, in other places, half of the people are
00:50:48.180 getting off a ventilator.
00:50:49.180 And in other places, none of them are, or almost none.
00:50:53.200 Why is it that in some places, people are getting off the ventilator,
00:50:56.420 at least half of them, and in other places, hardly ever?
00:51:00.720 What?
00:51:01.060 Oh, it's a cannula, not a capula.
00:51:04.800 Capula is something else.
00:51:06.000 Cannula is the word for the thing that goes up your nose.
00:51:09.200 Thank you for that.
00:51:10.320 Cannula.
00:51:11.060 C-A-N-N-U-L-A. 1.00
00:51:16.520 Thanks to all the people who were telling me that.
00:51:19.820 All right, that's enough for to now.
00:51:21.640 To now.
00:51:22.620 It's enough for tonight, and it's enough for now.
00:51:24.820 It's enough for to now.
00:51:26.820 That could be a word to now, just because it isn't.
00:51:33.100 All right, that's all for now, and I will talk to you later.
