boom ba-ba-ba-ba-ba oh hey everybody Joanne Duncan you're in here quickly that means you're the most nimble of all the Watchers of coffee with Scott Adams now I know why you're here and it probably has to do with the simultaneous if followed by insightful comments about today's news so join me now grab your cup your mug your Stein your class your container of delicious liquids I like coffee and join me for the simultaneous M now I know to some of you I am appearing at the sideways I don't know exactly what that's all about I've seen myself appear sideways on some devices but I'm broadcasting the usual way in in normal way but a number of

[1:05]

way in in normal way but a number of people have been commenting on that I don't know why I guess that's a new thing and I'm not sure it applies to every device but some of you are seeing me sideways don't had to fix that so we got some amusing stories today one is that GQ magazine is running Serena Williams on the cover and they made a little bit of a graphic mistake so instead of saying let's say men of the year they cross down men and then in a big handwriting they put woman so it's a picture of Serena Williams and they crossed out men and put woman you know making making a point that it's not man of the year even though it's GQ so they're they're honoring women on this this particular issue so far so good right how cool is it that Serena Williams is so successful

[2:07]

it that Serena Williams is so successful so important that GQ departed from Man of the Year just said a woman of the year so far excellent here's where they went wrong
the artist who apparently does the graphics or did the I don't know if it's a photographer has sort of a style where they put things in quotes a lot so just pursuing the artists style when they crossed out man and put a woman the artist did what the artist does in other things as well and put quotes around woman so now says GQ woman of the year with a picture of Serena with woman in quotes how many editors did they have to go through with nobody realizing that this might be a problem now and and if you don't read the backstory you would never

[3:09]

don't read the backstory you would never sit you would never suspect that the reason there are quotes on it is because that's what the artist always does in every other context as well you just wouldn't know that so this is another example of what I call the failure of imagination you'll hear a lot more about this because it it is so important to understanding the world and in the news you see it all the time if you had seen that cover without knowing the background story that the artist always puts quotes and stuff how would you ever ever have imagined what the real story behind that is in your wildest imaginations would you have imagined the real story that the artist always puts quotes on it and still not a single editor who looked at that thing and you got to think that a cover a lot of people see a cover before it goes out and it would be easy to fix you know so

[4:11]

and it would be easy to fix you know so would you have ever imagined the real story it's almost unimaginable and I'm going to use that example and I may even use that in my book because it's a perfect example where people make assumptions based on what they know and and it's simply a problem of imagination they simply can't imagine there would be some other explanation and in this case there obviously was let's take the case of the president who was accused of pulling out of the cemetery trip in France now the News reported that it was because it was raining and and so people with limited information said oh he doesn't want to get his hair wet because that's the only thing they could imagine if other leaders are going to this rainy cemetery event in France and the president was scheduled to go but he doesn't go

[5:13]

scheduled to go but he doesn't go because it's rainy people just complete the dots to go oh he doesn't like to get rained on his hair so he tweeted this morning the president did he said by the way and I like I like that he starts it with by the way it was just I'm just going to tosses him by the way when the helicopter couldn't fly to the first Cemetery in France because of almost zero visibility I suggested driving Secret Service said no too far from the airport and big Paris is shut down speech next day at American Cemetery and pouring rain little reported fake news so once you hear the real context you realize that and I you know you always have to be careful about what you believe in what you don't I do believe that the president asked why don't we drive because that would be the reasonable question right we can't fly it's not that far but why don't we drive

[6:13]

it's not that far but why don't we drive so I think it's probably true that he asked the question or suggested but it's also true that the Secret Service makes those decisions for him so if the president chooses to do something dangerous The Secret Service overrules them they have very broad authority when it comes to his physical safety so they they can actually pick him up and carry him places he doesn't want to go all right so it really is not the president's decision how his security works and that's why it should because the president would make you know in let's say imperfect decisions because the president is another security expert so I think the real issue is that you don't want to drive an obvious presidential motorcade too far because if they're exposed in the countryside for too far there's just too many things you would have to defend against too many directions too many miles it's hard

[7:13]

many directions too many miles it's hard to defend now I know what other people are gonna say well those other leaders those other leaders made it why why couldn't he can you really not imagine why Trump can't do it but others can to me it seems easy to imagine he has first of all a different risk level second of all a different Secret Service Group meaning that our Secret Service just might have different standards that's not up to trump if our Secret Service is more careful or perhaps they have more evidence of specific threats maybe they don't want to drone tracking them when they're on the road for too long there's also some thought that the only way they could do it as safely as our Secret Service what's it done right we're not looking at anybody else's Secret Service we don't care if France does it differently we don't care if Germany handles the security for their leader

[8:15]

handles the security for their leader differently totally irrelevant to us all that matters is what our Secret Service wanted period it's not compared to anything if you're comparing it to other people's Secret Service you would have to be a Secret Service expert and you would have to also assume that we have the same level of risk and risk avoidance and I think the President of the United States frankly has a far higher risk of attack
so anyway there's another example where you it was hard to imagine what the real story was but once we hear it you go oh yeah that does sound pretty pretty reasonable um next I just tweeted this and I'm gonna see how many retweets I got because that tells me how popular my story yes so 23 retweets apparently it's not going to be very popular but oh no

[9:18]

not going to be very popular but oh no that's that's something else let me just look hold on bear with me sip your coffee while you're waiting I just go look you something I tweeted yeah seems to be missing that's weird
okay well let me tell you what I intended to tweet so see you then has a headline and the headline is I gotta give you the exact headline or it's no fun
fun the headline is white supremacists celebrate the midterms as a victory and then if you click on it you see it says Trump says he's not a racist that's not how a white nationalist see it stop it

[10:19]

how a white nationalist see it stop it so the article says that well this I'm sorry piece of thing Trump says he's not a racist that's not how white nationalists see it that's a CNN politics headline now correct me if I'm wrong but isn't CNN
giving the same viewpoint as white supremacists is it not true that this article is as clearly as possible saying the CNN and the white supremacists have the same worldview really on this topic and they're their shared worldview is that Trump is a racist there are two groups that believe Trump is a racist white supremacist and CNN literally CNN

[11:20]

white supremacist and CNN literally CNN is boosting the signal for the white supremacists because they agree with them the CNN is actually getting its news from white nationalists white supremacists and they're pretending that the problem is with Trump if you came from another planet and you said all right here's the situation there are these people called you know white supremacists or white nationalists kind of a little bit similar they're not the same but they're kind of in the same ballpark and and there's this group called see and then that agrees with them and then there's a group called conservatives who don't agree with them and disagree with both of those which which groups are on the same team well the one that's boosting the message and agrees with their point of view it's sort a lot of the same team all right at least on this minor point and and then you ask

[12:22]

minor point and and then you ask yourself is it reasonable to call CNN the enemy of the people I've extended this from fake news being the enemy of the people to CNN because it's not in the case of CNN it's not about some specific fake news stories these are editorial decisions so at at the management level cNN has decided to sell an image of the President as a white supremacist probably the most irresponsible disgusting reprehensible thing you've ever seen because of what it could do to the well what it is doing to the country no CNN's not alone there the anti-trump furs are all selling and i trace it back to that what I call the Charlottesville hoax when the president said they were find people and bowls at

[13:22]

said they were find people and bowls at both sides of the question about Confederate statues should they stay or should they go find people on both sides the news decided to report that as he just called white supremacists marching with tiki torches and saying bad things about his own family that he decided to throw in with that group on public TV as president of the United States and called them fine people nothing like that happened and and anybody who is not it doesn't have their head firmly up their ass notice it's kind of obvious that didn't happen but they still report it to this day CNN allows their pundits and that's probably how they get away with it they let the pundit say it and they just don't don't edit it they allow their pundits to keep that out there like it's true when it's obviously not true you don't you don't have to research it just look at the story itself it's obviously not true so when

[14:25]

itself it's obviously not true so when you say is CNN the enemy of the people and I'm extending it further than the President does because he's saying fake news is the enemy of people I think you have to say CNN is absolutely taking the position against civilization today really I mean it's sort of a position against civilization at this point so CNN and the white supremacists have joined teams to help signal boost their common view of the world about this president now let's talk about the Democrats being anti-science so I'm getting you give you some examples I've given you this example before which is Democrats like to call Republicans anti-science because of climate change but what

[15:26]

because of climate change but what Democrats always get wrong is that the climate science topic is not just science there's a science part chemistry physics majoring things writing papers very science II that's the science part but the models the prediction models are not science nor is there estimates of you know the economic impact that's economics so you have three things you've got the science you've got the models which are not science and you've got the economics which is economics and now science three distinct parts to understand what's going on how big a problem is what it's going to cost the
Democrats consider all three of those things to be science and if you don't believe all three of those things the science the models that are not science and the economic predictions which are

[16:27]

and the economic predictions which are not science if you don't believe all three of those you're anti science that's literally the opposite of rational thinking rational thinking would say if you both believe the science part that if that humans add co2 co2 could cause things go up in temperature given a certain set of conditions that's the science part pretty much the conservatives believe the science part what they don't believe is that everything has been looked at and they don't believe that the models are necessarily reliable all right that is more scientific not less scientific yeah you know if if if you're saying people disagree with the real science part of it I think that's anti science so the people who say it's the sunspots for example that would be you know a little bit going off the science course because scientists do not think the sunspots are responsible the majority of

[17:29]

sunspots are responsible the majority of them some obviously some do now let's take another topic the forest fires what is the most common thing you're seeing in the news from Democrats about the California fire fires they're saying it's climate related does the science prove that the California forest fires are science are up sorry or climate science caused the answer is no the answer is it's one of the hypotheses it's just a hypothesis what are the competing hypotheses for why the forest fires are so much worse well we know for a fact that the way the forests have been managed has changed and has changed in a way that would definitely predict there would be more fires next there are also more problems with power lines and the forest

[18:30]

problems with power lines and the forest being close to things that can cause fires so there are simply more things in the forest more power lines more people more campers just more things that cause fires and at the same time there's more under cover less clearing bad bad forest management so if you're a Republican you probably say to yourself it's impossible to tell exactly what's going on but you'd certainly have to look at forest management you'd certainly have to look at there's a word for it but it's the encroaching civilization and how how all the how all the technology and people and everything that we bring with us they can cause fires there's just more of it so that would be a factor and then there is there there is a climate change element to it which may or may not be human cost you know in other words it could be X percent human and X percent natural and we don't know exactly but I

[19:33]

natural and we don't know exactly but I would say that Republicans by and large look at all of those things which is more science who is the anti science group in this example is it an theis is that are you being pro science if you settle on a conclusion it's all climate science without looking at all the information which is clearly relevant that's not very Pro science ignoring relevant data is pro science to me it looks like the Republicans of the pro science ones there's a there's also the issue of mind-reading and both sides are guilty of this but for some reason you see a lot more of it on the left and what I call mind-reading is they'll look at it at a certain set of actions and then they'll imagine they can read the mind of the people involved to know why they did what they do the Presidents canceled trip to the

[20:35]

the Presidents canceled trip to the cemetery because of the rain is a perfect example a typical way that the Democrats you know resolved this situation in their heads were they imagined they could read the president's mind I'm not even making this up they looked at the situation say huh he canceled the cemetery trip the other leaders didn't therefore I will read his mind when I need a little help for this I am putting all the data together I'm reading his mind from a distance I'm seeing something about a hair and moisture got it got it the President of the United States according to my mind reading does not like to get this hair wet end of story no further research needed I've got it I think I've got it everybody else get that you got that too right you got it hair water all right you got it all

[21:37]

hair water all right you got it all right we're on the same page 97% of scientists agree and seen what did Republicans and Trump's supporters say when they heard this story about Trump canceling his trip to the cemetery well some of them probably did some runt mind-reading same as Dale but I think that most conservatives most Trump supporters said something like this there's probably a good reason we just don't know what it is there's probably good reason and so I would say in this case the people who had a wait-and-see attitude as well there's probably good reason there might there might be 10 different reasons and we just don't know what it is so I would say that if you were open to just listening to whatever the situation was you probably were the

[22:39]

the situation was you probably were the the solid thinker in this case in this case all right there is a article on the news that says that experts have determined that one of the biggest health problems in the country the United States that is is people sitting in chairs so it turns out that one of the biggest health risks one of the big the biggest killers in the country is chairs chairs are actually killing people with all their comforting feel good qualities chairs are so awesome that people think I'd like to sit in that chair I'm so comfortable all sit in this chair for hours and then the chair kills them because it saps some of their vitality and their fitness and their ability to move around and all those things are good for your health so chairs kill and the price tag they put

[23:40]

chairs kill and the price tag they put it on it was and you have to take this kind of estimate with a gigantic grain of salt because I'm sure they can't really measure this sort of thing but they're saying that moving around more would save 117 billion dollars a year on health care just just move it around more and this leads me to my next point I'm this is something I'm working on sort of in on the side but it seems to me we're approaching a point where you could build a website with links to all the ways you could get close to free or cheap healthcare and here's what I'm talking about and I'll give you just a few examples and you that should be enough to paint the picture let's say I create a website and all that all I do is as there's a new breakthrough a new piece of information we know something

[24:41]

piece of information we know something that would make your health costs go down it gets added to the website so that people who can't afford regular health care have sort of the the poor person's version of health care the thinking and say all right how can I piece together a health care plan without paying for health care let me give you one example there's a there's now a device you can put on your phone that you just put your thumbs on and it will measure your your heart and you can actually get a useful measure of your heart with just this a little hundred something dollar thing you click into your phone alright you would only need to know that one of your neighbors had one or somebody around you had one that you could borrow and you could you could check it once in a while there are a number of other little clickin things that will turn your phone into basically a Star Trek you know tricorder for testing your health but there are also things such as this movement thing imagine if you had a Fitbit and all it

[25:43]

imagine if you had a Fitbit and all it did is remind you to move enough that you would be in a healthy zone well that's sort of Health Care the Fitbit telling you to get up and walk around every once in a while would be really good for your health if you've got all the little stuff right if if you add a set of technology whether it's apps whether it's websites information whatever it is that could change your diet from a bad diet to a better diet could change your level of activity from none to enough if you could do that with technology that's a lot like taking money right off the cost of health care and then if you piece together things like WebMD you know Google and other sources where you can look at things and then you add telemedicine the and I'll be talking a lot more about this in the next next few days and weeks but if you

[26:45]

next next few days and weeks but if you can get a doctor on the phone for a fixed fee any time you want you've got doctors advice live for a low cost much lower than the cost of having the healthcare you've got infinite resources of things you know like things to test there now I believe there's startup I forget its name that's making laboratories where you can just walk in with no health care and pay a small fee and have your blood tested so now you can give full blood work without health care just pay a small fee you can get a doctor live without health care small fee on the phone you can get all these testing devices apps you know places you go much lower cost so we're and and then let's say the president does something with prescription medical costs well I don't know what they can do other than just forcing the prices down but there's some thought that the price

[27:46]

but there's some thought that the price of meds would come down if you put all this stuff together you get really close maybe maybe you were already 80% there to piece together an expensive health care system that you just use as you need you know you just take the pieces you need we're getting close and also the the direct pay dr. model is part of that mix right there are people having a small fee per month and then you can use the doctor as much as you want but it's this one doctor so there's more of that model coming all right what about cancer and car accidents yeah so the other big piece of the healthcare pie and oh by the way I was I don't have it done here I was starting to break down which parts of

[28:48]

starting to break down which parts of healthcare are the big expense and I'll talk more about that but it's kind of hard to get that information because people are measuring things differently some say the cost of hospitalization is about thirty thirty two percent of all healthcare costs so when somebody said what about cancer what about a car accident that fits into the 32 percent of hospitalization stuff so there are parts that are harder to work on and the idea is that you could have catastrophic insurance for the hospitalization stuff so for the hospitalization stuff you probably just need insurance
turning on a cat-scan machine cost $10,000 yeah I'm pretty sure that all of their was scanning technologies the the total price of that should be dropping hard like I mean that should really the cost

[29:48]

like I mean that should really the cost of that should be coming down like crazy
yeah I don't have auto insurance for tire rotations only wrecks exactly any ideas for long-term chronic illnesses well it depends the nature of it I mean if your chronic illness just requires pills then the lowering of pharmaceutical costs could help but I would think that your catastrophic insurance should cover long-term expensive stuff as well you mean and maybe there's you know it would make sense basically anything that's going to be super expensive you know it should be the dollar amount that matters not the not the type of problem if it's if it's an expensive medical problem you need insurance for it
3d printers to make everything in the hospital yeah imagine imagine you had a hospital where they don't buy they don't

[30:52]

hospital where they don't buy they don't purchase many of their supplies they they 3d print supplies as needed you know if somebody comes in and they've made an appointment for let's say they've been an appointment for a specific condition the 3d printer just starts printing the things you're likely to need you know you prints those bandages whatever sometimes they could just guess in advance you know I've got a feeling that cancer may be getting close to cured so it might be that the long-term cost of cancer is going to drop like a rock because we I think we're close to the point with the new advances in cancer close to the point where most of the cancers can just be beaten so you don't have to keep somebody in the hospital till I die you just cure it yeah and I would also think

[31:55]

just cure it yeah and I would also think that there should be a special kind of health care I've suggested this before and let me just put this out there suppose you had I like this idea before I even say it suppose you had a special healthcare plan that offered people free health care no matter what it was they get free health care and the government pays it but only with this condition you have to give up all of your privacy just for the medical stuff you know not all of your privacy about your whole life although a lot of it and the idea would be that they would you know have whatever monitors or or tests need to be done that they would use the people who are getting the free health care to measure what works and what doesn't for everyone else so in other words the people with the free health care would know that their guinea pigs

[32:55]

care would know that their guinea pigs and they would know that they're giving up way more privacy than the people who are paying more money but even though the government would be paying for this health care and it would be free and it would be really expensive the amount we could learn from being able to measure exactly what works and what doesn't the amount we would learn might pay for all the other people in other words it might be the best investment ever to simply have a group of people who in return for free health care give up privacy about their data so imagine if you will that you could you could know that 30 minutes of exercise saves 30 percent on medical costs over your life I suppose you could know that suppose you could know that the people who ate more potatoes had more health care problems I don't know that that's the truth I'm just using the example suppose you could know that if you ride a bicycle to work the

[34:00]

that if you ride a bicycle to work the odds of you having expensive accidents because of the bicycle are very high so suppose you can know all of those things so you could piece together a set of recommendations that would lower the health care cost of the people who are not in the program the people who decided to keep their privacy and pay extra for it those people would let me put it this way let's say that privacy is a feature I just I just solved health care for you here you go I just solved health care I'll write it down here you'll love this here it is I just solved the healthcare privacy is a feature with a cost to it suppose suppose you passed the law I'm just I'm

[35:00]

suppose you passed the law I'm just I'm just brainstorming now all right so don't take this too seriously this idea is exactly ten seconds old suppose you passed the law that said every every company that charges for health care has to itemize how much you're paying extra for privacy and then you could pay it or not so if you decide you don't want privacy you don't have to pay for it but your data would go into the system to make everybody healthier and to drive down health care costs now when I say privacy they would try to keep your name away from your data so the intention would be that your name is not associated with your actual health problems right so that if somebody got into those records they would just see summed up data and they wouldn't see your name associated with it the reality of course is there's always a risk that somebody will figure your name and Lincoln to your health care so you would have to know that if

[36:00]

care so you would have to know that if you decided not to pay extra for privacy there was some risk some risk that somebody would get your name probably not the biggest risk in the world but some risk so I'll betcha if you made privacy a discrete thing to pay for there would be enough people who said screw that I don't care I don't care if somebody knows I have a bunion why would I care about that there would be enough people who wouldn't pay it that you would be able to measure did I pronounce that right for you measure the outcomes so specifically that you would probably be able to take I'm just guessing but I'll bet you could take 30% off the cost of health care just by taking privacy from a assumption to a feature that's it just move it from an assumption that you have privacy to something you pay extra for but you don't have to if you don't want the

[37:01]

don't have to if you don't want the privacy all right yes so the reasons somebody just mentioned that the reasons for privacy might have something to do with you know AIDS and alcoholism and drug use and stuff there there are a lot of things that people do want privacy for but those people could keep it they would just pay a little extra so everybody gets to keep what they have nothing would change but you'd have an extra option did you smoke any meat out back the past few days let me give you an update on the fire here's a view from my window if you've been watching this over time you know that where I'm pointing beyond the trees that you can see without the forest fire there would be a

[38:03]

without the forest fire there would be a huge valley an airport a lake and a ridge and they would be all clearly visible there would be as so the park is missing behind the smoke or is normally as visible as the trees that you can see you know those are actually my neighbor's trees but and the entire view is is white out and has been like that for a week and I'm I think I'm still 150 miles away from the closest fire so just just put this in perspective I'm a hundred and fifty miles away and I can't go outside I can't take my dog outside more than a few minutes because it would be unhealthy the air quality is so low so that's so bad let's talk about oh I forgot to talk about the presidents funny tweet about France so I got to

[39:05]

funny tweet about France so I got to read you all three tweets from the president about France because they're all they're all gems they're all top 20% tweets all right here's the first one untrained France makes excellent wine I love there's something about the the pacing or the simplicity of his sentences that make me laugh before I even get to the point all right he starts with such a clear simple statement he goes on trade France makes excellent wine but so does the US the problem is that France makes it very hard for the US to sell its wines into France and charges big tariffs whereas the u.s. makes it easy for French wines and charges very small tariffs not fair must change now this is the sort of stuff that people used to mock the president for talking like a sixth grade level and he does it in his tweets but it is so clear I mean that is such a clear

[40:07]

so clear I mean that is such a clear tweet you know it's you don't really realize that other people are unclear until you see something complicated explained with such simple sentences then he goes on he goes this is the next week the problem is that Emanuel we're talking about McCrone yeah yeah the problem is that Emanuel he uses his first name which is funny suffers from a very low approval rating in France 26% that's half of the president's rating and at an unemployment rate of almost 10% that's that's about you know triple the unemployment rate of the United States so he's first of all called president McCrone Emanuel so he sort of you know humanized him you know my buddy Emanuel because I think they probably do like each other and then he goes that he says talking about Emanuel that week goes on he was just trying to get on to

[41:08]

goes on he was just trying to get on to another subject which you tell yourself mmm that sounds like somebody we know and then the president says by the way I love it when it goes by the way within the same tweet there is no country more nationalists than France very proud people and rightfully so and that his next tweet is follow-up he goes in all caps make France great again now that is good good stuff because remember he's the President of the United States so his tweets are news although it looks like CNN is ignoring it so far maybe it'll cover it today but he he's he's main CNN cover the fact they're French wine is being is coming into the country but we're being tariffed and everybody likes wine right you know in the United States wine is one of the most popular things and

[42:10]

is one of the most popular things and all these wine drinkers who are mostly Democrats I think all the Democrats who drink wine I'm not saying they're the only ones who drink wine but as a stereotype are looking at and say hey why is my French wine costing extra which is hilarious that it's even like an issue wine wine has got to be the least important thing in the world and but then he makes him cover the fact that France has high unemployment and and that their president has lower approval so in terms of framing is brilliant framing because he's it forces them to say there's a president of another country who was doing way worse I love that part but then when he gets into the nationalism because I like to call the president a racist because he likes nationalism he goes by the way there is no country more nationalists with a capital n than France very proud people

[43:12]

capital n than France very proud people so he makes nationalist and proud being proud and nationalist it's like it's the same thing and there's nothing wrong with being proud and then and then you have to ask yourself is that true is France one of the most nationalist countries and I think to myself that feels true I don't know if that's true but how does it feel it feels like that's true right now I think it feels true because of the the stereotypes so it doesn't mean it is true but it definitely feels true and so that's good enough right for the for political purposes if it feels true it's true enough and then he says make France great again after he's totally throwing them under the bus with her baton moment and lower low approval rate he's

[44:15]

moment and lower low approval rate he's suggesting that maybe maybe France used to be better and maybe like maybe maybe they could take it up a notch the make America I make France great again oh I was pretty funny anyway the people who don't have a sense of humor and as I've told you before it's one third of the population and probably a greater percentage among people who don't like this president but if you don't understand that almost bet almost everything that he says in his tweets is at least a little bit funny and he means it that way because that's that what's that's what boosts is signal it's wrong but just a little bit wrong it's wrong in the way that makes it funny the example I like to use here's a good example of why wrong is funny when the president said of of McCain that the

[45:18]

president said of of McCain that the president said he preferred people who didn't get caught now the reason that's funny and to me it's hilarious and it's the reason that Chris Rock used it as a joke before Trump did use it in his stand-up act same joke there is this funny is because it's so wrong it's so wrong to call somebody who's so you know clearly a military hero to say I prefer people who didn't get caught it's the wrongness that is the humor that's the point right if you don't get that and that the it's not about the thinking that McCain is not a hero because I don't think anybody thinks that really you know that nobody thinks that it's just hilarious that he would say something that you're not supposed to say that is so wrong but if you know he's got a sense of humor it comes off completely different

[46:26]

alright I'm just looking at your comments so how many days have been since the recount started or whatever the hell they're doing they're in Florida trying to count the votes and we still don't have a clear sign of massive of voter fraud do we the thing you have to the hit thing you have to watch when you're trying to judge what's happening in Florida is that if if a place that is mostly Democrat finds a box of uncounted votes they're probably going to be mostly Democrat because it's a mostly Democrat place so if all we have is that 22 votes got mixed in where they weren't supposed to and there was one box of uncounted votes if that's all we have that we don't have massive voter fraud we don't we just have some some minor problems that wouldn't change the the

[47:26]

problems that wouldn't change the the result in this case but I will agree with all of you that there's enough suspicious looking stuff here that you I mean you have to just put a lid on it and make sure that nothing suspicious is happening now I'm not going to say that we won't find massive voter fraud if I had to bet if I had to bet on it well that's a good question which way would I bet would you bet a for or against finding massive voter fraud and when I say massive it's got to be more than we found a box of votes or 22 votes got mixed in someplace they shouldn't have something like that I mean like literal everybody agrees so massive they even the Democrats would say oh crap I didn't know about that that's pretty massive do you think we'll find that how many of you will predict that we will find massive voter fraud and of Broward give me your give me your

[48:29]

and of Broward give me your give me your votes how many think we will find massive voter fraud now that's slightly different from whether it exists or doesn't exist I'm talking about whether it's detectable and I would say that if it's massive it's going to be detectable so most of you looks like almost oh I agree with you there fraud is fraud so if there's a punishment involved for putting 22 votes in the wrong place and you can you can determine intent then that has to be pursued but in terms of change in the election so I think I only saw one person who thought there was not massive fraud but there might be a lot of micro fraud won't find one Floyd I'm gonna I'm gonna go out on a limb here's my prediction are you ready my prediction is that we will not find massive voter

[49:35]

is that we will not find massive voter fraud in Broward so so that's my prediction and I want you to track this one because remember I've I've told you since 2015 they should judge my credibility by prediction only don't don't judge anybody especially me by whether or not the things I'm saying today make sense of the past because everybody can do that that's easy its prediction that gives you any credibility so I'm going to predict that they will find small small matters of you know irregularities but they will not find massive or a fraud here's why we would already know that's why if it was massive the odds are we'd already know we might be arguing about whether you know it is exactly what we think it is we might be arguing about how big is

[50:37]

is we might be arguing about how big is massive we might be arguing about those things but so far it's been a little bit of time feels like too much time is going by now I'm limiting my prediction I want to be careful here I'm limiting my prediction to Broward so let's just limit it to Broward because there's a separate question of whether a lot of non-residents voted and I think we need to look into that as well I'm gonna I'm going to say that's that's not the problem we're looking at it and Broward alright so I'll say this clearly again my prediction is only about Broward and I predict we will not find gigantic fraud there's definitely reason to think it might be there and there it's definitely good that we're digging into it but I think we would have found it by now or at least we'd be talking about things that look like it even if it wasn't confirmed the the larger question of

[51:39]

confirmed the the larger question of whether Florida in general signed up some people who should not have voted that's a good question and I don't have I don't have a prediction on that and obviously that would also affect Broward but it's not the kind of fraud they're looking for and Broward they're looking for something you know even even more granular than that all right that's enough for now I'm going to talk trucks being videoed yeah I wouldn't put too much credibility in trucks being videotaped and stuff like that I think if if its massive will know about it soon and I will talk to you later
