hello everybody come on in here what a great day Sun is out at least where I am and that means it's an excellent morning for coffee with Scott Adams and a little thing I call the simultaneous sip so while you're filing in and finding your seats getting ready fill your cups your mugs your glasses could be a tankard stein chalice might be a thermos could be a flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit that's gonna make your whole day good it goes like this
good stuff all right thank you for joining me on that we've got interesting and fun stories I always like waking up and reading interesting and fun stories I remember a time when the news was

[1:11]

I remember a time when the news was usually bad news but no more now the news is mostly entertaining news even the stuff that seems like it's really bad is I know we have to we have to stretch a little bit to make it seven bad here's what is in the news first of all let me talk a little bit more about the president's new slogan for 2020 which unless it changes it could change but the idea is Keep America great versus make America great again now the problem with make America great again is that it made people say hey what do you mean again do you want to take it back to segregationist times is that what you're talking about when it was great hey you must be racist so make America great again while it was the single best political slogan of all time it had a really serious weakness that people could say hey the past wasn't so good why do you want to do that

[2:16]

Keep America great fixes that problem because you know what people can't say they can't say I don't want to go back to today yeah you don't have to go back at all if you like low unemployment for the african-american community you if you like women succeeding even better than men in college for example if you like all the stuff that we have right now you might want to keep it now I want to mention a important concept in persuasion and this has been tested many times science is pretty clear on this point your human brain will put more importance on keeping things you already have compared to maybe getting something new that you don't have so as much as we like to get new stuff we like to get new money we'd like to acquire things we love all that stuff but we don't love it as much and it's not even close to how much we don't want to lose the things we already have

[3:17]

want to lose the things we already have now this can be a little tricky because people said to me well Reagan beat Jimmy Carter and you know the point the country wasn't falling apart then why weren't people afraid of losing what we had under Carter and the answer is that people didn't see what we had under Carter as a good thing to keep the economy was weak the you know patriotism was flagging a little bit and no pun intended and so generally speaking when things are going poorly you take on the risk that's always the smart thing to do when things are going poorly you can inject some risk because the risk of doing nothing means you just keep going in the wrong direction so it's actually a riskier to do nothing if things are going in the wrong way so when Trump ran against Hillary Clinton he made the case that he made the case that things weren't going well so you didn't have

[4:18]

weren't going well so you didn't have anything to lose in fact when he talked to the african-american community he said basically what the hell do you got to lose things are going that well so that was a very very strong argument for a change but once you've got your president in there and he's got some track record and the country is doing well even if you think the reason is because Obama gave us a strong economy whatever the reason is things are going well and now the stronger argument is if it ain't broke don't fix it in fact that statement if it ain't broke don't fix it it would be a real strong campaign slogan if it were not sort of it a little tired saying because the sense of it is things are going well you don't make a change when things are going well you don't change your horse when your horse is halfway across the stream and doing great alright so I would say that the president has once again correctly found exactly the right sweet spot for

[5:20]

exactly the right sweet spot for persuasion in his slogan and I don't know how many times he has to do this before people get that it's not luck this isn't luck this is skill this is the highest level of branding skill you've ever seen bar none I mean there's nobody close there's nobody in his category and I think a lot of it is just sort of a natural talent that he can tell that Keep America grade is a better deal now I'm not gonna say he's gonna keep this slogan he might revise it you know it's everything's an a/b test if it doesn't go well maybe not it doesn't have a great acronym but in terms of persuasion perfection it's exactly where it needs to be make people afraid of losing what they've already gotten that's the strongest persuasion lever all right let's talk about something else talk about reparations here's the topic that will make your head spin

[6:20]

that will make your head spin first of all pretty much everything you're seeing on the topic of reparations so far if you're watching Fox News is just all wrong it's just all fake news reporting on the talk why do I say that the reason I say that is because this is what's happening the people talking about reparations say let's have a conversation about reparations we don't know what that's going to look like but what is not going to look like we agree what is not going to look like is that the people who are not african-american are writing checks to simply give money to the people who are african-american and have some legacy of slavery so the people talking about reparations say that's not the plan that's not what we're trying to do we're trying to have a conversation and to see if there's some some way to make any kind of a change that people would agree on so then you turn on fox news and fox news

[7:22]

then you turn on fox news and fox news will say how can you say you want to make the people who were not slave owners and weren't even here our families were not even here during reparations why should we pay for it and the reparations person will say we're not even talking about that and five minutes later you're next Fox News host will say how could it be fair to give a check from people who weren't to blame to people who were descendants from people who are already dead how could that be fair and the reparations people will say again nobody's even talking about that so be aware that almost everything you see on this topic is fake news but let me tell you the real news as best I understand it first of all I watched some of the hearing I watched a good deal of it actually the the opening speeches and I gotta tell you there's a strong case to be made for reparations now when I said that what did most of

[8:24]

now when I said that what did most of you just think I just said there's a strong case for reparations I'll bet 70% of you just said what do you mean you can't tell people who were not involved with slavery to write a check to people who are not we're not even live then no nobody's talking about writing a check I'm not talking about writing a check you're not talking about writing a check and you can see in the comment right people have gone a little boy oh boy this is this is moving some stuff from me to you I don't want any of this there's nothing you can say to me that's gonna make anything preparations are a good idea watch me change your mind you're ready dude how many of you think I could change your mind in the next few minutes on the topic of whether reparations are a good idea or a bad idea none of you right wouldn't you say that none of you think there's anything I could say in the next few minutes that would change your mind on

[9:26]

minutes that would change your mind on it you think that right let's see you give me five minutes probably less let's just say number one listening to the the people who know the most about the history etc including let's say Sheila jackson-lee and including listening to Cory Booker I listen to both of their little speeches ahead of it you know ahead of the hearings and they were really good really really good and I'll tell you what I liked about them they educated me about you know when you think about slavery it's the easy to have this sanitized version that you learned when you were in school because when you're in school you don't learn the bad stuff when you're in school you learn that slavery existed and that was bad and they they died and maybe the they were punished for things you say you learned a lot of the bad stuff but you don't really learn the bad stuff you don't you don't learn that rape was literally a

[10:26]

don't learn that rape was literally a tool of controlling the slaves you don't learn that you don't learn the really bad stuff so when you get a taste of this it's good to remember it now the first thing I'd say is that if you look at say the way Israel has weaponized the Holocaust now I think we'd all agree that the Holocaust is were saying you know one of the worst things if not the worst thing that ever happened in the entire world but there are plenty of other you know horrible human events that are on the same scale but we don't really talk about them so they're not weaponized they don't help the people or alive today because they're stories they're sort of disappearing Israel's very smart there's a there's power in the story of the Holocaust and so they keep it alive and use it as an asset which has a real advantage for Israel I think it's smart that they do that and has it has power what I see is that the

[11:26]

has it has power what I see is that the the folks who were talking about reparations are trying to do some version of that in other words they're trying to raise our awareness how much we care about it how much we think about it
it is that good it might be it's definitely good for the people who might want to weaponize that for some kind of negotiating etc so the first thing I'll say is that we're a democracy or a democratic like system or Republic and I always respect it when people are doing a good job persuading on something that's a real thing you know they're nothing they're not making it up there really was the horror of slavery they're educating us I'm ok with that so so far I'm okay with the conversation here's the party you don't know and here's the clever part when the folks who are who are pushing this are talking about they're talking about forming a committee to talk about it here's how I think this is gonna go it seems to me

[12:30]

think this is gonna go it seems to me that reparations as a topic won't go away but there are two problems with it you can't do it because anything that we talk about in terms of doing it is so unfair to other people you just can't get there it's a non-starter at the same time you can't not you can't stop talking about it so you have something that's hanging over us that you can't fix it's the worst possible situation a terrible problem unfixable so but it looks to me like there are some very smart people involved with this or not say exactly what it is that they're trying to do if you read between the lines this looks like what they're trying to do it looks like they're trying to finesse the problem that you have this problem hanging out there that won't go away that the way we feel about slavery and the legacy etc at the same time it can't possibly be fixed with reparations or cheques or anything anything obvious

[13:31]

or cheques or anything anything obvious they want an off-ramp so the smart people are looking for an off-ramp and if we're smart too we'll let them look for it I don't know if they can find it but the process of talking about it is valuable the fact if you can get you and I and the people who are you know not descended from slaves if you and I will take this conversation seriously we've made progress we can take you seriously and then agree with the black community with every other community once we've talked it out once we've sort of educated the public your re-educated them about the history then and only then do we have an off-ramp and let me give you an example if did you ever see the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid there's the famous opening scene in that where there's a card game and the Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy are there

[14:31]

Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy are there and the Sundance Kid is a famous gunfighter he's so fast he'll never lose a gunfight and somebody accuses him achieving and the card game and it looks like they're gonna draw down and there's going to be death right there at the card table because Sundance is starting to talk about you know you should stop stop accusing me of cheating and you know and Butch Cassidy is trying to talk him doubts like don't do it don't do it you know I do because he noticed that this other guy's gonna get killed in a minute so he doesn't want anybody to get killed and then in the famous line Sundance says I won't leave unless he asked me to stay and nobody quite understands what that means so he has to sort of repeat it a few times he's looking at the guy like he's gonna kill him in a second you know his guns gonna come out and he's just gonna blow this guy away he just says again I won't leave unless they asked me to stay and then the guy finally gets it he understands who this is he realizes it's

[15:33]

understands who this is he realizes it's a sudden dance kid and they use he's one second from being dead and the guy says would you stay and play and the son Sundance suddenly changes from I'm gonna kill you at any second - no I gotta go he takes up his chips and he walks away it seems to me that the smartest people in this conversation about rep rep reparations it looks to me like they're smarter than then maybe you thought on the surface and I'm talking about everybody you know I'm not talking just about the civil rights leaders types I'm talking about the Democrats you know the generic white Democrats were part of this I think they're creating an off-ramp very much like the Sundance Kid they need to have the conversation before they can say no thank you do you see it yet you have to have the

[16:34]

do you see it yet you have to have the conversation before you can say no thank you
doesn't sound the same now right because you're thinking about it and you thought wait a minute that's not exactly the way this is being reported no it's not because nobody can say what I just said nobody can say that this is theater but really really useful theater this is theater in the best sense of government in the best sense of healing I want to have this conversation I would like I would like to be a constructive part of it you know I've already written the patent I blogged about it I've suggested that we should do it let me tell you how you could thread this needle and have reparations without any reparations are you ready for this are you ready for me to tell you how you can have reparations for slavery at the same time there are no reparations for slavery can be done

[17:35]

no reparations for slavery can be done and I think that they're starting to navigate toward it here it is this is the hawk Newsome strategy hog Newsome a leader of black lives matter in New York once told me one of the smartest things you'll ever hear he said that if you help the black community you can't do it without so I will tell you without simultaneously helping everybody's who's in the same situation doesn't matter your your ethnicity the only way you can help the black community you know realistically is in a way that helps everybody so hypothetically if the government said let's do a basket of things that are really good for people at the lowest level of the heck of an economic spectrum well it will do some things to help them get jobs we'll do some things to help low income people get to college better we'll get them better mentors will help

[18:37]

we'll get them better mentors will help them be safe will get them fed better food maybe because nutrition matters maybe we'll work on wait for it prison reform which of the things I said are black specific none none there's not a single thing I said that is specific to the african-american community but if the way we get there yes the way we get there to a place where we figured out collectively an agreeable number of things we can do for the people who need the most help if we can agree on that it's good for everybody the African American community will be primarily responsible for getting that done they will be one of the biggest beneficiaries just because of the numbers of people who are in different categories but they will not be the sole beneficiaries and it will be good for all now my minimum

[19:39]

it will be good for all now my minimum requirement for this is that the only people will pay forward to the rich but it should be the rich black the rich white the rich brown rich whatever else as long as it's the rich not the middle class but only the rich who are everybody lose me if only the rich are paying for it and it helps everybody it's not limited to ethnicity but it does help the black community more because there might be more of them in a certain economic strata would you be against that because it would solve two problems number one it would help people who were who need help and number two it would take the conversation about reparations off the table and it would make the black community in this country the heroes think about that think about think about the legacy of slavery evolving all the way through Jim Crow to you know a better situation to something that's a lot closer to equality in 2019

[20:41]

that's a lot closer to equality in 2019 don't stop there take it to the next level take take the the legacy of slavery all the way through to hero status if the black community is the primary mover of this conversation and what it ends up with is helping white black brown everybody in the lower strata best win of all time if that happens you're going to say Sheila jackson-lee is one of the best politicians on the planet and she would be right so the the the small number of people who are pushing this are doing it with nuance that you don't quite appreciate they have a better plan that it sounds this is a really really positive thing that's being presented as a stupid thing really I mean if it was just white people write checks the black people it would be a stupid thing but that's not going to happen all right let's stop talking about that this topic makes people

[21:41]

about that this topic makes people really uncomfortable you can see it in the comments people are people are begging me to change the topic all right but we will so speaking of this stuff Joe Biden is now I think he's gone to zero chance of winning is does anybody think Joe Biden has any chance of winning I thought his odds were low but I think it's going to zero and the main the main thing that's changed this is CNN has turned on and man did they turn on so Biden the human gaffe machine he said he says this is the first sentence on a CNN article about it right so the first sentence of a CNN article about anybody tells you their editorial opinion the rest of the article might have some facts that sort of soften it but look for the first sentence first sentence was this is the am talking about Biden his campaign

[22:43]

am talking about Biden his campaign started the day by defending his nostalgia for a more civil Washington when getting things done meant working with segregationists on occasion so Biden apparently praised his own ability to get things done in the past saying that he could work with these two senators who he named who were famous for being big ol racists now did Biden do something wrong well in terms of a gaffe it was a gaffe so yes it was wrong in terms of he created a trap and then he fell into it but did he say anything wrong that makes him a racist no because the whole point of it was he could work with anybody and so he picked two people who were the best example of the worst people in the world he said I could even work with those guys and be civil with him now maybe that's a bad idea maybe that doesn't play in 2019 so it was it was a gaffe probably had to probably you

[23:45]

was a gaffe probably had to probably you know put the final nail in his his attempt so now you see CNN headlines on their page is all anti Biden it's anti Biden and then interspersed with G Elizabeth Warren's looking good Bernie's falling how about that Elizabeth Warren huh Elizabeth Warren looks good huh what about Elizabeth Warren people are saying good things about her huh Elizabeth Warren's poll numbers seem to be improving huh it seems that Elizabeth Warren has lots of plans for things people are starting to get excited about Elizabeth Warren oh oh by the way Joe Biden keeps making racist gaffes and we're gonna we're gonna put a panel together to discuss whether Joe Biden is out of touch
they're absolutely killing Joe Biden CNN has turned inviting Mike you've never seen like if you should look at their front page today it's hilarious

[24:46]

front page today it's hilarious so or as one of the pundits on CNN said in a little clip that it feeds the narrative now whose narrative was this but it feeds the narrative that there by bears of another time or an except with the modern party and as soon as they start talking about it it becomes the news right so the more CNN asks a question the more the question turns into a fact so I'm just I'm just asking the question is Biden an end of step with 2019 just a question what do you think do you think Biden's Adam step how about you should we talk about how Biden might be on the step I'm not saying he is but let's talk about it's a question and until they said talk about it until it just becomes what everybody believes is true you must be out of touch so it's clear that they're taking him out talking about Warren here's another

[25:47]

talking about Warren here's another statement from asan CNN that she has a plan for everything and people are craving substance are they are people craving substance have they ever met people yeah if there's one thing I know about people they're not craving substance that's one thing they're not craving they're craving a good show the craving revenge they're craving money either they're craving sex and food people crave a lot of stuff but you know what people never ever crave political substance the fact that they would even say that let's see it was hilarious because nothing could be less true than that
this gets better oh and let me make a an overall statement about Biden that is everything you need to know whoever is the the candidate for the Democrats becomes the de-facto will say figurehead

[26:48]

becomes the de-facto will say figurehead or logo or brand for CNN and MSNBC so see that in embassy embassy and the other the other anti-trump news they start by just talking about these candidates so at first it's just that let's talk about Biden we'll talk about you know these other candidates Buddha judge had a good week Allah so the beginning is easy you're just talking about him but there's some point and and I wish I had said this ahead of time because it was easy to predict but now it's sort of too late so it's not a prediction it's just something for you to look at once it becomes clear that one of them might win or that somebody pulls out in the polls as Biden did then instead of just talking about them they're imagining their future in which they talk non-stop about how great Biden is let's say you're the executives and the on-air hosts of CNN do you want a year from now to be spending all your time talking

[27:50]

to be spending all your time talking about how awesome Joe Biden is that's not a good accessory in other words it doesn't go good with you doesn't go well with your clothing doesn't fit your brand it's boring TV has somebody saying in the comments it's a really bad future and I think that CNN and probably the rest of the anti trend media has now had to like live with the imagined future of a Biden candidacy or worse she had a Biden presence of presidency and they're saying he becomes our brand you know who's good for the brand who was really good for CNN's brand who was really good for MSNBC's brand Obama whether you love Obama or you dislike Obama that's not the question right now the fact is he was pretty cool still is pretty cool right you could hate him and all the political reasons you hate him and you think he's he's the devil

[28:51]

and you think he's he's the devil incarnate whatever but he's still cool he was a cool interesting overachieving you know surprise came from nowhere black guy he was cool he's still cool I'm not a big fan by the way I'm not a big Obama fan but you can't separate from the fact pretty cool guy cool president and so you're CNN and you say to yourself do I want to associate with a cool black guy you know he's young you know you just got a lot going on in the cool in this area and the answer is heck yeah heck yeah you want to associate it with that because that's cool now imagine they have to live with old man Biden as their essentially their mascot for four years oh my god it's horrible so it was predictable that they would have to make a change here's the best part I've saving the best part so one of

[29:52]

I've saving the best part so one of Sanders top advisers is Simone Sanders you know her as one of the I don't know how much she's on CNN lately because she's taken this role but she was one of the more prominent pundits on CNN and she was one who was always calling President Trump a racist so there are two just precious tweets from her this morning she is responding to the fact that people are getting on Biden for saying that he could work with these segregationists so Simone says in her tweets today at two tweets first one Joe Biden did not praise a segregationist that is a disingenuous take he basically said sometimes in Congress one has to work with terrible or downright racist folks to get things done and then on when when I'd say that you can't work with them work around them now Simone's take on this is a hundred percent correct a hundred percent correct Joe Biden is being misinterpreted they are

[30:55]

Biden is being misinterpreted they are making something and nothing and then she correctly says no it's more of a statement about Joe Biden being able to work with anybody the whole point is that there are terrible people he's not agreeing with him he's calling them terrible that's the point he could work with anybody even if they're terrible so so first part of her tweet I agree completely but you know what's funny about it is she's one of the biggest pushers of the fine people hoax she got fine people hoaxed herself this whole thing about Biden praising a segregationist never happened it's fake news she is the biggest pusher of the fake news about Charlottesville and it happened to her so karma just gave her her own fine people hoax and she'll probably never get out of it but it gets better there were two parts to her tweet here's the second part then

[31:57]

to her tweet here's the second part then said no and Sanders says tweet number two let's be honest here and that she goes on to be dishonest she goes let's be honest here a person currently sits in the wife's at White House who has in all capital actually praised white supremacists that's the fine people hoax he never did that in fact he condemned them the very thing she says happened is the opposite of what happened easy it's a check just read the read the transcript she's been pushing this fine people hoax harder than just about anybody on CNN and she just got totally trapped by it so I may have tweeted back a couple of responses to her you might want to read those just for your entertainment let's talk about something else god that was a delicious story that's my favorite story of like the whole month is that she got fighting people hoax targeted herself that could not have been more perfect it just couldn't all right Iran has shot

[33:00]

it just couldn't all right Iran has shot down a US drone we say it was of international waters they say it went over Iran at some point but here's what's interesting when when in our history our military history of Earth how often do you get to attack something that doesn't have a human in it attacking somebody's drones is starting to get really close to a Star Trek you know with the or the first Star Trek series on TV plot you know which one I'm talking about so there's a futuristic scene in Star Trek in which they found some planet that was at war but instead of having a real war where people were getting killed fighting each other they would have some kind of a simulated war in the computer and then whoever won the simulated war the other side the losers would have to have their citizens you know go to voluntary you know a death machine so we go into some

[34:00]

know a death machine so we go into some machine that which is killing so instead of having a proper war there would be the same number of people dead but they wouldn't do a physical war they just killed the people who lost this this shooting down of a drone kind of tells you what the future looks like right here's what the future looks like whoever owns the sky will win every war if they care enough to find it so because of the the power of drones whoever owns the airspace over a country effectively owns that country in the future wouldn't you say and most of that doesn't need to be real people so the Air Force in the future will be unarmed drones because why would you put a person there you don't need to and there will be lots of them and the unarmed Jones will fight it out now do the unarmed Jones need to kill people they don't because whoever owns the airspace can simply tell those people you'd

[35:01]

can simply tell those people you'd better do what we want because now we own the airspace because we can we can kill you it will we can do anything we want with your country because we own this space above it so in the future undoubtedly entire wars will be felt will be fought by unmanned vehicles in the sky and they'll be you know they'll be falling like flies as they shoot each other eventually one force one country or one entity will win and only their drones will be in the sky at that point the war is over because the humans underneath have no chance against the drones they have no chance drones could just hang up there all day long if you go outdoors they kill you unless you do what the country with the drones tells you to do so I think we're going to see entire Wars of thought without a single human being being involved right why wouldn't that be the case now you could say hey we we control the sky over countries that we can't conquer but that's with

[36:02]

that we can't conquer but that's with human human aircraft if you've got drones and you could have almost like a almost a ceiling of drones at all time you could just see everything you can shoot everything you would not be able to run any kind of a country that's blanketed with drones from an enemy you just couldn't do it so I think that's where we're going we're going to Wars that there are no humans involved just no humans the humans just find out who won at the end except you know the humans are running the drones all right Lindsey Graham has said that we should make a target list and if Iran continues making trouble military trouble that we should quote take out their Navy and maybe their refineries now that would be some serious stuff wouldn't it and I thought to myself probably do need to do that I think the odds of us taking out

[37:02]

that I think the odds of us taking out the entire Iranian Navy as well as their refineries it's pretty good I put the odds at 5050 I think we're up to 50-50 chance that we will militarily take out their entire Navy and some or all of the refineries I think that will happen 50/50 chance one other thing about Elizabeth Warren if Elizabeth Warren makes it to the big show and she's the candidate against Trump and I'm not predicting this I'm just saying that if it happened if it happened wouldn't she look like the grandmother running against the dad because even though I think she's younger than Trump right but she she comes off as older because she's got the grandma glasses and the grandma haircut and stuff and Trump doesn't quite look like a grandfather right I mean he is

[38:04]

like a grandfather right I mean he is but he feels more like the older dad and so so here's the interesting thing I think when everything's going great grandma looks like a pretty good deal because she'll make you some cocoa and give you a hug yeah that's all you need things are going great give me a hug give me a cocoa when things are dangerous the more the way they were when Trump came into power then you want the badass you know dad you want the one who goes downstairs with the baseball bat
bat now again I'm talking in human stereotypes I'm not saying that there are no badass grandmas you know we're good with a gun I'm not saying every dad will pick up a baseball bat and take care of work people are all different but in our stereotypical bias heads it's gonna look like grandma versus dad right how's that turn out well the other thing that grandma has grandma Warren yeah I don't know if she's actually a grandma

[39:04]

don't know if she's actually a grandma but she she just projects sort of grandmotherly qualities which by the way does not eliminate anybody from being president I'm not saying I'm not saying that's bad at all it could be the perfect vibe for the country in the right circumstances but she has two bigger problems here are Warren's two biggest problems she's a lawyer and an academic and for every person who says yes I crave substance and I want to hear all of her policy ideas and my god she certainly understands the details of the policy for every person who says that there to be three people who say she's boring and I don't like her energy and she just doesn't seem like she's strong so her strengths unfortunately don't translate well to the political realm Trump's strengths translate perfectly

[40:05]

Trump's strengths translate perfectly because he understands that facts don't matter and that how people feel matters Warren believes that how people think matters and not how they feel so much that should be a blowout if she is the candidate I still think that that when Biden and Sanders tank which I predict will happen if Warren became the top the top in the polls or close to the top in the polls I think that you would see also Kamala Harris starting to creep up into that second or third position and I've always said she's the sleeper I think Komal Harris is a sleeper here somebody's prompted me to talk about the Central Park five well the Central Park five is another story that's similar to the fine people hoax in the sense that Trump used the attention that that story got to make a larger case about having the death penalty then people

[41:07]

the death penalty then people illegitimately said oh he wants to kill innocent black people therefore he's a racist nothing like that happened yeah and even though he is concerned that the five were guilty of other crimes remember the prosecutor well not everybody knows us but the woman who prosecuted the case agreed that they were not guilty of the the primary crime but they were guilty in her opinion and there was plenty of evidence for it in her opinion that there that they could have got a conviction on other similar bad behavior that night but not that specific crime so Trump made a statement about crime in general and never mentioned ethnicity did not mention specifically these people but it's obvious that's what inspired it being against crime is pretty different being racist yeah I'm pretty sure you can be black and not like crime I think that's the thing pretty sure so the the

[42:09]

that's the thing pretty sure so the the Central Park five thing is just one of the backup hoaxes in case they find people hoax falls apart which it is apparently a number of companies are moving out of China I wasn't sure this was gonna happen and I'm still not sure it is happening but Fox News has a list of several less of fewer than ten but there are big companies who are either considering a move or are planning to move and if China now you should be careful about making too much of this because I don't know this is true but I'm going to speculate that if you were to throw a dart at a time line any time you looked at companies moving in around China there would probably always be a few companies who are considering moving out is that true I somebody fact check me on this but it seems to me that where you do your production is an ongoing revised

[43:10]

do your production is an ongoing revised process all the time so even if you would move to China and ten years ago you're probably still looking at Vietnam you know you probably have somebody in your big multinational corporation whose job it is to look at China and say okay that was a good idea ten years ago but Vietnam is making us an excellent offer or Guatemala or something so I don't know if we're seeing a real uptick in companies leaving well here's what we are seeing we're seeing the risk of companies staying go up considerably I think we're seeing companies say to themselves hey it doesn't look like there's any chance of a real trade deal with China by a real trade deal I mean one in which they're not stealing our technology and and using it to build a military to oppose us if you are Apple computer and you're saying okay at the moment we can sort of get away with having a Chinese production facility but

[44:12]

having a Chinese production facility but it started to shape up the way public opinion is moving because the president's moving public opinion on this amazingly and it's one of his greatest successes is how he's moved public opinion on both sides about China's unfair trade practices there will be a point coming very soon where if you're a great American company that you can't even on your own conscience you can't be in China so if you're a public company and you care about what your customers and your stockholders saying you're going to be looking at this situation and you say you know it's sort of okay now but it would be actually dumb to plan a move into China could we agree that if you were contemplating moving to China before let's say a few years ago you were you're ramping up and saying yeah we've targeted China we want to build some facilities would it be fair to say that you would not proceed with that

[45:14]

that you would not proceed with that project if you had to decide today so if you were sitting around a meeting table today in a big fortune 500 company and somebody says to the boss we need a final decision are we going to move our production into China what's the CEO going to say hold give me some options no smart CEO would commit a large amount of resources to moving into China under these conditions and it doesn't look like those conditions are going to change I don't see China moving against fentanyl they talked about it but there's no action I don't see them doing anything really about theft of intellectual property I don't see them you know ramping down their military and their military seems primarily aimed at us right China's entire military who else are they fighting with they don't have anyone else to fight they're cool with Russia you know what do they need a

[46:16]

with Russia you know what do they need a navy for they don't need a navy to fight Russia right the Navy is about us so I don't think an American company can move into China there's the big story the big story is not how many are moving out the big story is that nobody's going to move in that's that's done in my opinion any big company that makes a new decision one one that's you know they can actually decide either way no big company can do that now I met when was the last time you heard some big company announced they're moving to China it would be suicide it would be crazy it wouldn't matter what the tax situation or the employment situation is you just wouldn't do it so I think that you might see you might see at first a slow trickle of people moving and China but every day that the trade negotiations go on and it seems more and more obvious that no deal can be reached because

[47:18]

that no deal can be reached because apparently China doesn't do business that way apparently China does not do honest business where they make a deal and then they keep it it just doesn't seem to be part of the set of possible things and as long as that's the case I would expect China's economy to crash in the next 20 years so that's my prediction China's economy will take quite a beating in the next 20 years all right that is what I wanted to talk about today I have these little pieces of paper so I look more like a real newsman check that off check that off check that off all right can we laugh a little more somebody says I don't know what's funny now let's talk about concentration camps so one of the things that is very amusing about aoc is that she can even

[48:19]

amusing about aoc is that she can even tell you what she's doing and you'll still act like it's not happening so she did it again she's right she didn't write in in her sweet spot so she called the let's call them detention centers for immigrants on the border she fell them in concentration camps what happened when she called them concentration camps well suddenly we started seeing photos of these detention centers which I've never seen had you ever seen a photo of the detention centers I hadn't but as soon as she calls them concentration camps photos all over right so suddenly we know a lot more about these detention centers suddenly the priority of them has has gone up we're talking about AOC we're talking about the detention centers we're talking about a topic in which she is relatively strong because she's got sort of a moral argument if not a practical it's not very practical and

[49:20]

practical it's not very practical and and and everybody's saying AOC how dare you compare this to Hitler how dare you compare this to the Holocaust and they're completely correct as I often say there are at least two things you should never compare don't prepare the Holocaust to anything ever there's no right time to compare anything to the Holocaust and American slavery there's nothing like it stop saying there's anything like slavery in America there are other slavery situations but these are unique things and you should never compare anything to them you just look dumb but she did it and she did it she did it that's funny so the people who come in here and anyway I'll just block that troll and so anyway AOC is doing what she's really really

[50:20]

AOC is doing what she's really really really good at even if you don't like a lot of things about her she she focused all attention on the thing that helps her helps the Democrats and hurts the president in maybe could someday help the the immigrants themselves although I'm not sure that that's the top priority for a or C I'm not reading your mind I just don't know one way or the other so there's still people on here saying a or C is inherited it has and she looks pretty dumb you are so missing the show
if for those of you don't know AOC was is selected based on American Idol like contest she literally auditioned for the job of politician with Democratic people who knew how to pick people it's not an accident that she's this good it's not an accident she was selected out of thousands of people because she can do this this is special you don't have to

[51:21]

this this is special you don't have to like it but it's special and she can reproduce it over and over again and every time she does people say that's a stupid thing she's saying how could she be so dumb and then we go on and talk about all the things she wants us to focus on and she gets more powerful and and and it's all because of our reaction to her all right so that's all I have to say about her and by the way you know what the smartest thing yeah now never mind I'm not going to say that I changed my mind in mid-sentence she did - all right she liked you now I'm luckier comments I just make sure I haven't missed any topics that you want to talk about here all right there's just more bad a OC stuff you know it's it's kind

[52:25]

bad a OC stuff you know it's it's kind of I don't know it makes me sad that you can't appreciate the talent at the same time maybe you you're hating her politics I feel like you could hate her politics and still respect how effective she is and feel like I feel like you can do that because I hate her politics yeah there are things which she said calling you know Republicans racist every five minutes etc there are things I absolutely deplore about her her stated opinions who knows what she's thinking but man you can't say it's not effective we're oh the Libra so Facebook is producing its own crypto that's the scariest thing in the world isn't it is there anything you would want less than Facebook to control your money that just feels like the worst idea in the world I'm just sort of a conceptual level you don't even need to know the details yeah

[53:25]

don't even need to know the details yeah just start with this hey facebook wants to control money what what what it's crazy so let me give you an update on my own shadow banning I expect that this video will get D monetize almost certainly so this this video so remember what I talked about here so during this during this periscope was there any material on here that you think is controversial or should be d monetized anything no no I I in fact I came out in favor of the the fight of people different fighting people but the good people who are talking about reparations I'm on the side of the Angels right there's nothing I said on here this should be d monetized but I am calling out the fine people hoax again it wasn't I didn't

[54:28]

people hoax again it wasn't I didn't want to but it was in the news again so this will be d monetized or it will be like my my video yesterday where I did a test where instead of saying find people hoax I just used the letters F P H and I wanted to see if there their speech-to-text would pick that up and flag it by its initials in theory it would not and what happened instead of getting demonetised that video was suppressed for the first several hours so it was completely throttled back it was it was sort of taken out of the recommended video cues so if it doesn't get recommended to people it just yeah is limited to the audience itself and that that's much smaller so I complained about it in public and said it had to be human interference or human intervention there had to be a human being who is watching my videos and probably other political voices and looked at it and said we don't want this

[55:29]

looked at it and said we don't want this opinion to be to be seen they didn't de monetize it they just throttled it which is way in a way D monetizing at least is honest but since you can't defend the D monetization it's better to hide it because when you do monetize people complain hey I'm demonetised but when they just hide your traffic you can't tell unless you look at the curve and then it's really obvious so you let me explain to you so there's a within within YouTube there are these analytics and one of the things they'll do is if you've had lots of videos they'll show you sort of a zone that your video traffic is almost certainly going to be in if it's like the others because it's a pretty big zone it's the the your worst video and your best video so there's a lot of space in there for for where the new one is the first one if this is normal the first one did this it was a straight line for like hours it's not even

[56:32]

line for like hours it's not even possible alright that you can't get that curve of just like a straight line when all of your videos go like this I've just walked for several hours just goes into straight line at zero it was pretty obvious that that was human intervention and whoever that human is knows I'm talking about them right now so here's the weird part there's somebody watching this probably I don't know if they watch it to the end but there's probably somebody watching it right now whose job it is to suppress my voice or at least they think it is they think it's their job but I want you to look at this video because I'm talking to you now whoever whoever is watching me for YouTube tell me if there was anything in here that cannot be validated by looking at to find people transcript you can look at it yourself just google it fine people Charles will train transcript see it for yourself there's nothing I said that's untrue and there's nothing I said that would be even slightly slightly socially unacceptable do your job please just do your job and

[57:37]

do your job please just do your job and that message is for whoever's watching and the rest of you I will talk to you tomorrow
