I'm from pom pom pom pom pom hey everybody come on in here you know what time it is you go it's time for coffee with Scott Adams I'm Scott Adams and you already know you so no introductions needed but I know why you here you're here because you need to get that dopamine hit that little charge that little piece of energy the thing that makes the rest of the day amazing and it starts with a little thing I call the simultaneous if it's easy to join in if you'd like to be part of the simultaneous step there's not much to it at all all the requires is copper a marker glass Steiner a chalice or a tankard a thermos flask a canteen maybe a vessel fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the simultaneous mmm oh that

[1:10]

pleasure of the simultaneous mmm oh that is the best one today whoa oh if you haven't tried stretching after the simultaneous sip you really ought to add that in it makes the whole thing complete so tomorrow you don't want to miss my periscope I'm going to talk to dr. drew if all things technological work out you know we're going to be talking about the the horrible scene that will probably bring this bubonic plague in Los Angeles why are we going to have bubonic plague in Los Angeles well it has a little something to do with our governments being incompetent that's the big picture but we'll talk about that more tomorrow all right so the big news the big news the big news in the news is the old news there's no news that's nothing whatsoever about a

[2:11]

news that's nothing whatsoever about a presidential tweet that turned to a week of news and everybody is talking is it racist is a racist tweet now the latest thing is for people who don't want to commit to say the president's a racist such as Nancy Pelosi such as Anthony Sierra Moochie I think there are a few others they're starting to say well I'm not gonna say the president's a racist but I will say that the tweet itself is a racist tweet so now you can have people who are racists but you can have actually collections of words that are racist if there is a tweet so and now that tweets can be racist separate from the intention of the sender which is weird you would think that racism is something that somebody has to do intentionally but apparently there are some critics of

[3:12]

but apparently there are some critics of the president in some friends of the president who are a little critical in this case and they say that the tweet itself could be racist while the president the person who thought it and wrote it might not be okay I guess this is just more of everything can be racist and I think I'm gonna drink to that because when you're drinking you're racist cup of black coffee and you're drinking that of a white cup and we're a racist civilization filmed with racists might as well go with it and so as I said I believe the racism charge sort of lost its energy am I wrong so I think I'm the first person to well probably

[4:12]

I'm the first person to well probably not I was gonna say I'm the first person to say this but probably not I'm gonna call it I think racism lost his credibility now most of you thought it lost his credibility a long time but it only lost its credibility with half of the public or 40% whatever the Trump supporters they had already given up on that as being a meaningful word the actual meant something in the real world the other should and could mean something but the way it's overused it just becomes ridiculous and I think that it's now a little bit more obvious even to you know people on the other side I tweeted a tweet by Jake Tapper that I thought was fascinating so Jake in his thread on Twitter that I retweeted talked about talking to Democrats without their identities being mentioned

[5:14]

without their identities being mentioned and one of the Democrats said in in no ambiguous terms he said the president won this round so even the Democrats are are clear on the fact that Trump took a pretty risky play in their view I don't think it was risky and I'll tell you why but if their view was risky but it worked and so even the Democrats are saying oh damn it he won this one you didn't see that coming did you unless you watched my periscope in which I told you it was coming in direct language so [Laughter] so even the Democrats know they lost this round but why is this different now I would say that what looked like a gigantic risk on the part of the President to say something that's clearly provocative it's clearly he knew

[6:15]

clearly provocative it's clearly he knew it was going to be offensive because he wrote it that way he wrote it to be provocative and offensive now of course in this world provocative and offensive is always conflated with racist well he was just automatic so he had to know he had to know this was going to draw this kind of fire but the president's critics have put him in the situation where it's a free pass it's free money how many times have I told you that one of the things that that marks this president style and his melissa is effectiveness is that what he sees for free money laying on a table he picks it up it's just laying there it's just a big pile of free money and everybody else says hey we can't pick up that free money and the president sees it and he says I'm pretty sure this is free money does does

[7:17]

pretty sure this is free money does does anybody anybody claim this money this big pile of money on the table and everybody says well I wouldn't touch it I don't know I wouldn't touch it and the president says well I guess I'll take the free money grabs it and walks it away and what does everybody say after the president takes the big pile of free money they say I saw that coming but they didn't for the most part they didn't see that coming in this case here's my analogy and remember analogies are terrible for persuasion but they're very good for explaining a new concept that's how I'll do I'll be using it I'm going to explain the concept if you imagine that all of the criticisms about President Trump in the in the realm of being a racist if all those together were a big pile of manure you don't even have to make a decision right now whether it's all true stuff or all fake stuff you don't even have to decide that

[8:18]

stuff you don't even have to decide that for what I'm talking about next but it's a lot of it you'd agree that there that the laundry list of things is pretty long adding one more thing that is yet again one of those things that you're not quite sure is it a whistle was it obvious is it not obvious is he is it technically not racist because he said come on back he puts it right in that ambiguous area like all of the other stuff it's in this weird gray well it might be racist depending on how you look depending what you imagine he was thinking when he said it but not really not on the surface so he adds so imagine that all of the accusations so far are a giant mound of let's say cow feces just a giant pile of it whether it's true stuff or even false stuff doesn't matter just to be there's a lot of and then this latest tweet about go back home

[9:20]

this latest tweet about go back home comes by and it's like a fly flew over the giant pile of cow feces and the fly pooped on it - flies poop I know probably right I'm no fly expert but I'm guessing they do and here's the thing does the fly pooping on a giant pile of poop change anything well from a physics perspective yes there is a tiny tiny little change to the giant pile of poop but in a political sense no difference it was a giant pile of poop and now a fly pooped on top of the giant pile of poop it's just a little more poke no difference whatsoever so the President had a free shot he could do this thing and it wouldn't change anybody's opinion but by focusing all of his energy on the squad he elevated them to become the

[10:23]

squad he elevated them to become the face of the Democrats which essentially destroys their entire organization now will they recover we don't know but it looks like it was a kill shot it looks like he took a kill shot early just to see because think about it think about the risk management here if this had had no good impact for the president let's say it hadn't worked it just would have been one more flyyy popping than the big pile of poop it wasn't much to risk and by the time you know Election Day comes along there are going to be a hundred and ten more provocations and this woman will be totally forgotten was a free shot if it worked it would dismantle the entire Democratic Party with two tweets or three whatever it was compound tweet and it worked according

[11:23]

compound tweet and it worked according to the Democrats it worked it destroyed their party because for now until the end they're just gonna be arguing with each other about who is the worst person you know is Pelosi a racist who was in charge of the party his socialism really their theme blah blah blah all right now so from a risk management perspective is something that nobody else in the world would have done Trump did it because he recognized it was free money it was either gonna work which it did or if it didn't work a little bit of fly poop on top of a giant mountain of poop no difference whatsoever so that's where we are now what is being lost in this whole conversation remember what I like to do quite often is I like to I like to point out the thing that everybody is ignoring while the magician is is making you focus in the wrong place

[12:25]

focus in the wrong place all right let me say something that I don't believe I have not heard anybody say it as directly as I'm going to say it and I said something similar before but think about how this is not being said so won't be it won't be a radical thought it would just be a thought that keeps that keeps being ignored and here it is the squad the president Trump criticized our four young people of color all female who are killing it these four women are super successful more successful I would argue than any other politicians in the whole country in the biggest most important not biggest but most important country at least in economics and military in the

[13:26]

least in economics and military in the world who's talking about that do you know how you get a President of the United States to talk about you how do you do that how does somebody get the President of the United States to continually insult them well you do that by being crazy successful crazy successful look at Omar right you don't like Omar right yeah I know the people watching this or mostly Trump supporters mostly do not like Omar you don't have to like her I'm not going to ask you to but she's killing it she's very very successful and coming from a very tough situation you know literally a Somalian immigrant who is now who's now in the mind of the President on all of our lips and is moving the needle that means she's certainly moving people's opinions etc somebody says 9 percent approval

[14:28]

etc somebody says 9 percent approval where if we heard that before do you know anybody else who had nine percent approval once President Trump President Trump once had nine percent approval when he first started now I would now I'd like to add another thought that I don't think you said enough so the first thing you're gonna say is if you can divorce yourself from the opinions the political opinions of the four people and just say we live in a country where those four people literally you know that the people who would most be considered what would be the the right term I I guess if you're a female and young the all three things if you're female you're young you're a person of color and especially if you were born in another country you have a lot working against you know yeah in

[15:30]

lot working against you know yeah in theory everything's working against you that's the country you're in right that's the maximum amount of discrimination is you know age gender ethnicity country of origin and even religion right it's everything that's discriminated against and what did these four women do they're killing it they just took over the entire Democratic Party they're killing it why don't we talk about that why don't we talk about the fact that we live in a country where for people who should buy every law or rule or or a common-sense thing that we know about how bigoted and terrible the country is everything we know or have been told should have kept those four women from being in the situation they are and yet they are the talk of the town you don't have to like them remember people didn't like president Trump either but you became the talk of the town so let's not lose an amazing thing

[16:34]

town so let's not lose an amazing thing all right what if we're talking about this it means nothing much else is going on this bad first of all let's remember that if this is our topic we're talking about a tweet if that's a topic things are going well but beyond that that these four women could so could have so much influence on the Democratic Party why don't we celebrate that why don't we celebrate that they're in the president's how shall I say that they're there in his mind and their top priority so let's not lose that that's that's pretty cool I would say that correct me if I'm wrong if if you took the the squad and you replaced you took one of them out and replace them with somebody else who let's say was also young than female and persons of color how much difference would it make well it would depend which one you

[17:36]

well it would depend which one you replaced if you replaced aoc you would never have heard of any of these four people that's what I think I mean maybe Omar would have made noise and then going away but the reason that Omar is even a conversation because that she is sort of joined with a or C there's only one star in the group hey I'm saying the other three are we're sort of dingleberries they're hanging around AOC if you took a OCS star power and I'm gonna say talent we can say that now right is everybody finally on board with me with what I said I don't know eighteen months ago or whenever I was first saying it when I first said uh oh AOC is the real deal you don't have to like anything she says politically but watch how her power will grow I told you that early on right and some people had similar training and backgrounds were saying the same thing you saw Mike sort

[18:36]

saying the same thing you saw Mike sort of edge say it from day one same as I did because we have similar similar talents tax and so there she is I did not say that about any of the other people in the squad because it's not true the other people in the squad don't have the star power they're very capable and I give them great credit for getting what you know achieving what they've achieved it's all very credit worthy but they are not a OSA AOC is sort of her own thing and if and if you if you took her out of the group there would be no such thing as a squad they would be irrelevant it's it's a OCS star power that even makes them a thing and their purpose right now is simply to amplify AOC but here's the interesting thing what will happen if one of the members of the squad starts working against a overseas interests which is sort of

[19:40]

overseas interests which is sort of what's happening right now isn't it it seems that in addition to dividing the Democrats the president is starting to divide the squad I'm not sure you've seen that now we talked about each member of the squad individually and had something to say about them but Presley I've never even heard of Presley is I don't know do I even have the right name Presley that's the name of one of the squad I've never even heard of her until this week is she liked an important part of the squad no and Talib why is she important cuz she swore a few times in public that's it that's it that's her all game she swore a few times in public irrelevant but Omar Omar is making some noise Omar is ruining a overseas brand do you see that do you

[20:43]

overseas brand do you see that do you see that that for a short time AOC can hang with this group because they're they're sort of emphasizing and and they're elevating a oversee because it makes it look like she's a leader of a group and that makes it look like she has more more power but if Omar keeps going in the wrong direction of looking or at least being branded anti-semitic I don't have an opinion about her in her thoughts but she could certainly be branded that way based on things she's said or done will the a OSI stick with her once she becomes more problem than benefit because if you were I believe that AOC s rating would be higher if she were separated from Omar and I'm sure that the Republicans will make sure that she knows that but will she do it I don't know if she can but in order to get to

[21:45]

know if she can but in order to get to the next level she needs to because Omar is like a ball and chained is that racist don't ya you have to stop every time you say something that's any kind of an analogy don't you have to stop these days and say wait a minute that was racist okay I'm gonna say I'm gonna rule on this ball and chain says prisoner could be racist so so I'm gonna back that out and say and say I'm just sort of joking about that that's not racist I gotta use a different analogy though AOC can't rise because omar is an anchor omar puts the ceiling on AO sees potential as long as they're joined at the hip AFC can never rise higher than she can drag omar with her and she can't drag omar too far because at omar's an anchor so i would

[22:46]

because at omar's an anchor so i would predict i don't think it necessarily happens before 2020 but i could I predict that AOC is going to make a break from at least omar but certainly the squad and she will do that when she doesn't need them and what is clear that there an anchor on her progress because I'm pretty sure that a OC is sealing in politics she's nowhere near it I you don't want to hear that right she's nowhere endearment the others may have hit their their peak but AOC has not and if she allows them to be part of her brand well they're an anchor so I think you could predict this you will be smart enough to make some to put some distance between her and the others alright here's something fun there's a story that there's a lot of helium-3 on the moon which sounds very boring until you realize that it could be a nuclear fuel

[23:48]

realize that it could be a nuclear fuel and the story said it was some kind of a waste-free nuclear fuel I don't quite understand that maybe March nighter can explain that to us but the idea is that countries and I guess Europe is gearing up to actually mine the moon in just a few years you know something like seven years or something they plan to be on the moon mining it and part of it might be a tremendous difference in our energy situation in other words if this helium-3 is easy mine or easy enough it's so valuable that would make mining the moon tremendously profitable I guess there are a lot of others other things they can mine as well up there that are equally valuable but it could totally change the energy situation on earth and I ask you do any of the climate models include mining the moon which of the

[24:51]

include mining the moon which of the many climate predictions models say well in 2025 we'll start mining the moon which will totally change the energy economics on planet earth no that's not in there here's another little tidbit also I think I saw this through March nighters Twitter feed which you should be following apparently Indonesia just took the world lead in nuclear energy by claiming they're gonna fire up a thorium reactor in just a few years if that happens and Indonesia fires up a thorium reactor even and and I believe even if it goes over their budget if even if it doubles even if they're they blow through their budget it still looks like it's gonna be super practical if they get it done thorium and let's say a generation for nuclear in general is the sort of thing

[25:51]

nuclear in general is the sort of thing that as soon as somebody gets one working it's gonna grow pretty fast it's sort of like the iPhone until Apple made an iPhone there wasn't going to be any kind of a smartphone market but once Apple did it then everybody could say well I guess we need a smart phone so if Indonesia succeeds with their thorium reactor and it proves the economic and the safety of everything else maybe you could see just a ton of it happening right after that all right let's talk about professor Epstein PhD and Google
so there's a researcher / scientist / very qualified guy who has made the claim in public and in writing that google influenced the 2016 election by rigging it for Hillary by somewhere

[26:54]

rigging it for Hillary by somewhere between his estimate is two point six to ten point four million votes were manipulated in other words influenced by Google manipulating their search engine results now we're still blocking all the people who up side mr. yeah let me get the blocker so I remember I'm blocking people complain about the audio even though we know now that the audio was that an actual problem with periscope that apparently they fixed so there was a problem with people on some devices but it's not that it's true or false that I have audio problems ideally you because it interrupts the show like it is right now don't you wish I weren't talking about this of course you do and I wish I weren't talking about it too so it's nothing personal but I don't

[27:59]

too so it's nothing personal but I don't want people complaining about the sound on here because I can't do anything about it all right sue so this dr. Epstein says that millions of votes and he's pretty confident about his estimates I don't know how confident you could be about those estimates can you really be confident about that I don't know if he can but I guess Hillary won by three million votes on the popular vote it wasn't enough to get her elected because of the electoral college but haven't you know damn it having a different problem now with my technology but I think it's all
all so here's the thing do we believe dr. Epstein that Google manipulated between two point six and ten point four million votes and change them toward Hillary now

[29:03]

votes and change them toward Hillary now one thing we can believe is that it seems reasonable reasonably true is that he was a big Clinton supporter and still is so the person saying that Google rigged the election for Hillary is a Hillary supporter so that works toward is credibility what we don't have is other researchers saying we checked his work we did it independent research we found out the same thing so we don't have that so I don't think you can necessarily leap to to believing that he's he's nailed the the range or anything else I'd need to hear from more people but it is very compatible with everything I know about people in life it does seem to me that Google could move that many votes to me that seems common sensical doesn't mean it's true but common sense and everything I know about how people work and how they're

[30:04]

about how people work and how they're influenced by what they see it would suggest that maybe that many votes can move now you say you might say yourself well it's just a few million votes but it might represent something like the vast majority of all the people who were undecided so Google may have persuaded all of the people who were undecided or eighty percent of them do those types of estimates think about that that's the whole game that's not that's not just you know tweaking things on the margin that's the election that's the whole thing if you can move the undecided and according to this researcher they did they can and they did and they did it intentionally and they did it successfully that's the whole election the the only thing that stopped it from being a deciding factor is that Trump was more strategic you got more support than people thought probably but he was

[31:05]

than people thought probably but he was more strategic about the station isn't it etc so what's gonna happen in 2020 same thing right do you see anything in place that would stop Google from doing exactly the same thing and do you think they'd be better at it four years later yeah yeah because now they have they have four years of experience done more than I have something like you know five or six years of experience by the next election imagine Google with four to six years of experience manipulating votes and now they can actually find out who changed their votes so I don't know if they've collected this information but they would be I said they would be wrong not to because it's collectible they could have the data to tell them how

[32:06]

have the data to tell them how successful they were think about that they might actually know how successful they were and they might be I actually know specifically what people's minds they changed last time imagine them with that knowledge if they know what it was about those people they could say aha people who have these characteristics are more likely to change their mind we can find more of those people because now they know the exact demographic and let's say personality traits lifestyle etc of people who did it changed their minds before they were probably just spraying it out there and they changed a bunch of minds but now they know who changes minds and who doesn't the odds of them being more effective on the second go-round are a hundred percent a hundred percent they'll be better at it and a lot better this time a lot better what's

[33:08]

lot better this time a lot better what's the government going to do about it as far as I can tell nothing do you see anything happening I don't say anything happening and yeah I guess Peter Thiel made the same point but common sense should tell you the same thing it's pretty obvious when you when you do a google search that somebody is deciding what you see yeah or the algorithm which somebody created is deciding what you see and that of course makes a big difference the things that come to the top or of course can have more impact on your thinking so I'm just gonna call it I'm just gonna call it right now the Republic is dead that's it the Republic that form of government created by the founders and that has

[34:11]

created by the founders and that has successfully guided our civilization for lo these few hundred years plus is gone it's not something that might go away it already went away the only reason it's not obvious well no let me take that back we don't feel the pain of it so much because Trump got elected in anyway but there's only one of him you probably will get elected reelected again because he's just got such a strong game but the next presidents or the next candidates whoever they are it won't be up to them because if there are regular candidates and they don't have the you know super you know power of the Sun like Trump does who can just you know Trump can just obliterate a new cycle any way he wants you just saw him do it this week nobody else could do that you know maybe I don't think anybody else could do that

[35:13]

I don't think anybody else could do that but at this point Google decides who the president is maybe not this next time they're gonna try they'll probably get close maybe not this time before ever after that it's just up to them and you know that right you know that's true even if Epstein's numbers don't check out you know that they can they can control the election yes they want to now what could change that the only thing that could change that is an American Revolution it worked once remember that old American Revolution where where the Patriots fought and took power away from the the monarchy in England well we just lost our republic accidentally nobody saw coming well some did but there weren't enough of us and it will require an actual

[36:14]

of us and it will require an actual revolution this time not not violence this time we don't need to shoot anybody this time the revolution just needs to be a data revolution there needs to be an uprising of the people against the authority which is Google and some of maybe some of the other social media companies to a lesser extent but the Trump administration can put in place because they are the last the last vestige of the Republic Trump's administration is the last vestige of the Republic once he's gone Google can't be touched if Google can get to the other side of the Trump administration if they can last it out they'll run the country forever whether

[37:16]

they'll run the country forever whether or not there's a you know a nominal bunch of politicians or not if the Trump administration puts in some kind of oversight and I've suggested some kind of a special court that you know some kind of courts that can control so I've got a court that can look at the algorithms fair things for happily if we don't do that that's it that's it after the Trump administration Google is Google is your king all right I loved reading this I think this was from Trey Gaudi he was talking about Congress and he said quote Congress has worked itself into obscurity and irrelevance when you can go on the floor of the house as the president says I'm going as the

[38:18]

president says I'm going as the president say I'm going to do it with or without you and Congress stands up in cheers you have rendered that branch of government feckless and irrelevant Gowdy says congratulations the house doesn't matter anymore White House and Senate matter house doesn't matter so that's trey Gowdy who would be a good authority saying that the House of Representatives have rendered themselves irrelevant at the same time Google has rendered itself the kingmakers so the government is self-destructing at the same time that Google is rising what is the only way to check them well the Senate by itself is useless without the house so the Senate has no purpose whatsoever is the house is useless all that leaves is the executive branch which is stronger than ever the executive branch if they don't have

[39:19]

the executive branch if they don't have the power on their own to regulate the social media platforms probably won't get done here's something interesting do you remember when I told you that I could sense that North Korea was getting closer to having some kind of productive conversation with us and I called it before it happened and everybody was surprised and now here we are and there are ongoing negotiations with North Korea doesn't seem like we're in worse shape it looks like we're heading toward your very incremental e slowly but at least the right direction which is all we really care about the right direction Iran is sending me signals meaning that I'm seeing signals and their actions that they're pretty close to talking pretty close now some of the signals are of course that they say they'd be willing to talk but then they give us requirements for talking that we're

[40:21]

requirements for talking that we're never going to comply with so they say they want to talk but they also make it impossible that that conversation by requiring us to give up things before we even talk such as the sanctions but that I'm looking at the small things that they're doing such as the the fairly minor damage of a tanker the complaining about you know the British and now there's a new one a new micro complaint and it's the smallness of this that is the story all right so Iran state television said Thursday that the regime have captured a foreign tanker with a crew of 12 accused of smuggling oil I don't even understand why Iran is angry about anybody smuggling oil since their entire country is based on trying to get around sanctions but apparently the news doesn't even know who owns the tanker so

[41:23]

doesn't even know who owns the tanker so now Iran is moving against a tanker and we don't even know who owns it is that the weakest story you've ever heard it's like well there may or may not be a tanker that we may or may not have captured it may or may not be actually that other tanker from before that we were actually just helping that's it if you look at what Iran is doing in reaction to the the sanctions it looks pretty small and it looks like a country that doesn't want to get in the shooting war and I'm feeling that the entire Middle East again is down to one person's opinion the Ayatollah he's in his 80s not gonna live forever and probably knows at this point there's no winning path other than peace peace is a very winning path the

[42:25]

peace is a very winning path the president has made that clear you've got a great path Iran can be one of the one of the great countries in the world as it was once before I would argue so somebody says it seems like they're just buying time could be but for what you know - do they really want to go to the next level on nuclear stuff because they will get wiped out they have to know that I think Iran has to know that if I go to a certain level with this stuff we will pull the trigger it's pretty clear that President Trump would pull the trigger if he needed to I think they know that we're at least they're worried about it enough so I'm gonna call it that we've never been this close to peace in the Middle East because Iran is sort of the the key to the larger peace in the region everybody else is kind of on board at this point and if the

[43:25]

on board at this point and if the Palestinians are not they would be isolated to the point of irrelevance so Iran is the key and they're there right on the edge might be another year could be two years before things get serious in terms of talking but they're right on the edge I think you're gonna see something positive there all right that is all I have for today does anybody have any questions somebody says why is it ran the key there Iran is the key because there's the last major country in the region there still wants to be trouble everybody else has either said okay I guess we can live with Israel or they're not really much trouble to begin with all right oh just a correction people informed beyond Twitter so I'd ask the question why would turkey who is a NATO ally buy

would turkey who is a NATO ally buy Russian stuff and why do we care if they have some missile defense because they're their NATO after all but the argument is if they have Russian anti-aircraft missiles in technology and they also have American f-35s that they can use the technology on the Russian equipment to learn more about the honor the signal that comes off of the f-35 or how it operates so it would make the f-35 s in general around the world more vulnerable if one country had both an f-35 and Russian technology so having them in the same country allows them to look at each other and gather data about each other in a way that you couldn't as easily otherwise that's the argument I'm not sure if I buy that entirely but let's let's go with that all right now

[45:28]

let's let's go with that all right now Turkey is begging to be back in the f-35 program oh do I still think come come Allah Harris is going to be the nominee yes so I'm sticking with Michael Harris prediction is it not obvious that the Democrats who know things know that Biden can't win right I'm right about that or like the Biden just can't win and it also seems that Bernie is getting no respect so I think Bernie's poll numbers have topped I don't think that they're going any higher in what happens when Bernie drops out where will Bernie's votes go to if bernie is not the nominee think about that I would argue that Bernie has all the votes that will go to Warren and Harris so Warren and Harris should take

[46:29]

Harris so Warren and Harris should take a big pop should Bernie decide to get out and and maybe you will I mean you can imagine Bernie getting out on principle saying to himself well it doesn't look like I can win but I could throw my support to one of these other characters who have a better chance and that would be that would be a tough package if if Bernie said I'm going to throw my hundred percent support behind Warren or Harris that could put him over the top now I would think that Warren is closer to Bernie in terms of policy I don't know if I'm right or wrong about that but even if all he did was just release release his supporters by not being viable or just quitting you're gonna see Biden drop into second place maybe third place fairly quickly actually that if if

[47:30]

place fairly quickly actually that if if Bernie dropped out I think Biden would drop the third place overnight right probably all right yes so area 51 is going to be stormed by a bunch of people and I gotta say I wish I were there that sounds like the craziest thing of course they might all be killed by security forces trying to get into a top-secret government facility but sounds like a great party until that happens all right
to give qumola cred yeah all right so I'm gonna stick with Harris as the likely nominee she's gonna have to up her game she did so in the debates if she has one more good debate where she she lands a few blows I think she'll be the presumed nominee all right I will

[48:34]

the presumed nominee all right I will talk to you all later
