bum-bum-bum bum-bum-bum bum-bum-bum it's holiday here in the United States holiday Day Labor Day it is and it's a wonderful day it's a great day to have coffee with Scott Adams as luck would have it that's me you know who you are you know other takes listen to enjoy coffee with Scott Adams and the simultaneous app which is coming up yes all you need all you need is a cup of our glasses Stein the chalice detector thermos apply some key into the vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the simultaneous sip the thing that makes everything better all day long and the rest of you we do go oh oh
alright here's my favorite story of the day there was a flying student a student who was learning to fly a plane and he's
[1:12]
who was learning to fly a plane and he's up in the air and this just happened by the way real story in Australia and the flight instructor passes out and the the flight trainee is trying to wake him up like literally just trying to keep falling over so the trainee calls the tower and says I'm a flight trainee and my instructor just passed down I can't wake him up so what do they do well the first thing they said is have you ever landed a plane before any other kind of plane and the trainee says it's my first lesson a first lesson and his flight instructor passes out while he's in the air so the the the short version of the story as they talked him down they basically trained him in the air how to land the plane I guess he took a few practice approaches just to see if
[2:15]
few practice approaches just to see if he got you know get the approach right and then he landed it and he landed it apparently successfully and my favorite part was that the the trainee after he lands the plane he said that his instructor said he's the best he's the best student he's ever had talk about the best student you've ever had if you have a heart attack in the plane oh I don't know what happened to him but he passed out and his student lands the plane on the first try pretty good pretty pretty good I love that story so you all know about the straight Pride Parade did you see a overseas comment about it alright so there was a parade for organized by straight men and I don't know how I guess it was sort of tongue-in-cheek but maybe they had a point I don't know didn't really pay attention to it too much but a or C had an interesting comment about the straight Pride Parade she said and I
[3:18]
straight Pride Parade she said and I quote for men who are allegedly so proud of being straight they seem to show real incompetence at attracting women to their events seems like more more like a quote I struggle with masculinity parade to me hope they grow enough over the next year to support enjoy LGBTQ family next now here's the thing isn't the whole point of supporting the LGBTQ community isn't the whole point of that is not making fun of people for their their sexual situation their sexual preferences their sexual identity isn't that the whole point sorry I forgot kids are home from school today so make sure your kids in here that but was it that the whole point is that you don't say stuff like this if you're trying to be an inclusive person because
[4:21]
trying to be an inclusive person because correct me if I'm wrong and and I'm pretty sure I'm right about this this straight Pride Parade is not anti LGBTQ even slightly as far as I can tell they're taking you they're taking them as their model and trying to emulate it in fact the head of ceremonies was the most famous gay conservative of all you know Milo you know Plus so certainly these people were not anti LGBTQ I mean who knows what individuals were thinking but in terms of the event it was not and so Tamia seems wildly inconsistent for her to mock people for their sexual identity I mean I don't understand that either we can do that or we can write either acceptable behavior allows us to do it or acceptable behavior says don't do it but you have to pick one I don't
[5:22]
do it but you have to pick one I don't think you can say yes it's unacceptable to mock this group but this group's find no problem with that with a group my digital assistant was talking to me all right let's talk about Debra Messing so she had a tweet which she said I am proud to be a donor when I contribute to a campaign I am happy to be listed when I attend a fundraiser I'm assuming anyone who donates to Trump's fundraiser would feel the same why wouldn't they so she's talking about Eric McCormack and in her tweets in which they're saying that there's some fundraiser in Hollywood for Republicans and they would like to see a list of those people Eric McCormack said this so they could know who to avoid working with in the future and then so Debra Messing's messages sort of playing off of that and she's saying she's proud to be a donor when she contributes to campaign why wouldn't somebody be
[6:23]
to campaign why wouldn't somebody be proud to say they donated to Trump's fundraiser why wouldn't they she asks so I tweeted back because of you how does she not realize that the reason people don't want to give up their privacy on who they don't donated to if it's if it's a Republican is because of Debra Messing she's the problem because she's she and eric mccormack are organizing boycotts against them is she really confused about what the problem is here I don't think anybody would have a problem saying who they voted for except for the existence of Eric McCormack and Debra Messing and anybody who is like-minded they're the problem of course people are afraid of them because they're aggressive and they're dangerous to people's careers and social reputations and stuff they're dangerous so these two dangerous people are
[7:24]
so these two dangerous people are threatening people and wondering why the people they're threatening indirectly they're wondering why the people that are threatening are not willing to give their identities well maybe it's because you're threatening them idiot all right let's talk about gun control I got a lot of people chattering yesterday with my opinions because I said that I I have the only opinion on guns and gun control in the world and I stand by that now I saw a few people almost get close to having an opinion but not really so I'm going to say it again I have the only opinion on gun control nobody else has an opinion a lot of people think they have opinions but they don't they have half pinions they have half an opinion meaning that they talk about the right to own guns without talking about what
[8:25]
to own guns without talking about what that costs meaning the cost in terms of deaths and then there are other people who only talk about the deaths and they don't talk about what that might call in terms of protecting the Republic and protecting ourselves etc I'm the only person who has given an honest opinion now you could agree with it or disagree that but you can't it'd be hard to argue that other anybody else has an opinion so here's my opinion I like the Second Amendment and I would be willing to keep it up to a cost of about 20,000 accidental and I guess intentional murders per year that's my number if you can't give me a number you don't have an opinion you don't have anything you just you're just talking about stuff but if you want a full opinion you should say I would like the benefits of the Second Amendment personal protection freedom protecting from tyranny all those things I want all
[9:27]
from tyranny all those things I want all of those things up to a cost of 20,000 deaths per year now some people said but wait a minute we're already there because you can't count suicides to which I say sure I can't it's my opinion I can count anything I want I'm just showing my work do I think that we should have half as many suicides of course I do I'd also like half as many murders I like all of it to go down now if you're saying to me but Scott you can't make suicide going to go down by controlling guns I didn't say you could did you hear me say that I didn't say that now there may be other solutions for making suicide go down it could be mental health treatments could be something more creative I don't care how we get there I'm just saying that if you know if we can that's my number 20,000 would be an acceptable number in a country our size for the freedom that
[10:29]
a country our size for the freedom that it gives us all right here are some of the arguments or I'm not sure their arguments but the the points that people gave me to give some context number of people said buzz got there are 45 thousand people dying a year in automobiles and there are people dying from alcohol and are people dying from cigarettes there are people dying in swimming pools and there and all that and what about all that what's your number for those things to which I say keep in mind all of those things have limits all of those things have restrictions you can't drive a car any way you want whenever you want under every condition you don't have that freedom automobiles are deeply restricted including you have to wear your seat belt because that number of deaths was too high and society collectively decided to see if they could make it lower likewise with
[11:30]
could make it lower likewise with cigarettes likewise with almost everything else there there are great restrictions on all those things guns would be another category but the main thing is it really doesn't matter how many people die from other things that's not a point if you're talking about gun control and you say yes but X people die doing other things that has nothing to do with guns that context is interesting and it might tell you that there's something else unrelated to firearms that you also want to talk about but probably there are already restrictions in that other thing you know as there are with alcohol and guns and cigarettes and stuff so so it does not matter if there are other things that kill you too it's interesting but it has nothing to do with it how you make a decision on gun control let me give you an analogy because they're so persuasive now and remember analogies are good for making a
[12:31]
remember analogies are good for making a novel point but analogies are not good for persuading so I'm just going to make a point if the Boy Scouts of America just you know the Boy Scouts I think they're just called Scouts now if the scouts let's say killed accidentally 10,000 Scouts per year would you say to yourself that's not much it's only 10,000 children per year killed in the scouting profession in the scouting organization so that's fine it's only 10,000 because there are so many other people who died of cancer you wouldn't say that you would treat and by the way there's nothing like that dying from scouting this is just a crazy example but if there were you would say well let's look at scouting there's something wrong with scouting here we've got a we got to fix this so it doesn't matter how many people died from unrelated things you're still gonna look at every decision individually somebody said controlling guns in any additional
[13:35]
said controlling guns in any additional way would not reduce a suicide because quote Japan has the second highest rate of suicides in the world and some of the strictest gun control confiscating guns would not curb the rate of suicides really first of all here's the first problem you can't compare Japan to the United States on suicide if I moved to Japan I'd probably kill myself in a year are you kidding me have have you seen how tragic and horrible it is to live in Japan if you're a young person you don't have privacy you're probably not having sex you're working all hours you're living at home I would fricking blow my brains out if I were in Japan and if he didn't give me a gun I'd go find another way living in Japan sounds exactly like a place that would have a high rate of suicide so I'm not surprised by that I don't think you can compare those two but here's the thing every time you
[14:36]
but here's the thing every time you anytime you introduce friction to anything you reduce the amount of that thing you can't really find exceptions to that that are meaningful I mean maybe you could find some weird exception but but it wouldn't be meaningful in terms of a general generalization all friction reduces reduces the number of people who do that thing so let me give you let me walk through the thinking if you're suicidal and it's sort of a temporary situation and you also alone you got in your house I would think your danger of suicide is much higher than if you had to plan it and think about it and go to the doctor and you get some kind of pills that would kill you and you know do some research and all that I'd have to think they're simply making you think about it and plan it and and do it in a maybe way
[15:37]
plan it and and do it in a maybe way that is less certain will probably reduce some suicides take for example all the young people who do these mass shootings don't they seem like suicides to you I mean the we talk about all the people they kill but they seem like fancy suicides so a few restricted guns from some of those people who might do fancy mass shooting suicides you might redo some now people said to me Scott Scott Scott why are you so in favor of gun restrictions to which I say I've never said that I have never said I am in favor of gun restrictions never here's what I do say I am in favor of testing a variety of changes which could include some restrictions but it might include and I think it's worth testing more guns so there are two sides there tend to be two sides some people say give more people guns and you'll be
[16:40]
give more people guns and you'll be safer and some people say take away the guns or restrict them in some ways that you'll be safer and I say I think it depends it seems to be perfectly reasonable to imagine and I don't know the answer to this question but wouldn't it be reasonable to imagine there are some situations in which additional guns make you safer while at the same time there are some situations that you could easily identify in which guns make you a little less safe don't you think that there's a difference between situations so if somebody says I'd like to test in this Texas County having more guns and we'll just see what happens I say if it could be tested go ahead go ahead and test it if somebody else wants to test having fewer guns let's say Chicago I'd say let's test it let's say see if it makes a difference now in order for your test to be successful you
[17:40]
order for your test to be successful you would need to have some sense of comparables meaning other places that are similar enough in in crime profile that if you make a major change in one of those places and there's a difference in the crime level you might say to yourself hey those two places that were just like this up until today they didn't get any improvement now it might take more than a year might take three five years or something but if we're not continually testing to see what works and what doesn't and wait if we're not if we're not open to the fact that you know what works in Chicago maybe completely opposite of what works in some place in Texas if we don't acknowledge that there could be a gigantic difference in what works in different situations we're not really serious about this all right so that's all I had to say on that there's not
[18:42]
all I had to say on that there's not much else going on except the hurricane well there's another story going on that I'm very confused about there's this horrible tragedy did you hear about this and I'm trying to make this not sound like a joke all right so I'm gonna say something involving a tragedy that you might take as meaning to be a joke but I don't mean it that way it's an actual question I have so apparently there was some 70 some very large diving ship a ship that takes people to go on diving excursions they caught it on fire and I guess dozens of people perished and I'm asking myself it was a ship full of people who are trained divers on the water how in the world do people who were trained divers
[19:44]
on a boat fire I'm not joking either there's something we need to know there's there's something more about yeah even if they were sleeping but do you think 75 people were below deck and they couldn't get out I don't know if the ship was designed so that there was only one way to get down and I would imagine that would be kind of typical for a ship wouldn't it or was it the smoke yeah somebody says how long can you dive I'm just saying that if they had jumped off into the water I believe the water is warm enough that they could you know where it was probably warm enough that they could have survived cover quite a while and there were all people who knew that swim they were all divers so I think there might be more to this story than we know so we'll wait a minute now the other big story is the hurricane of course so this morning I used the interface by when hub
[20:45]
morning I used the interface by when hub app my company is app and I made a call to you Jennifer Becker who had signed up to give me some updates or to give anybody who called her some updates on the hurricane now Jennifer and Jennifer might be on this periscope watching so hi Jennifer so Jennifer took the interface call and but she's in the panhandle and so far in the Panhandle it's still kind of a nice day it looks like it's getting a little cloudy a little windy but in the panhandle on the other side of the state from hurricane not so bad yet so if there are other people who want to be storm reporters you can set your price as zero as Jennifer did you don't need to charge it's optional / wants to call in and just see for themselves what people are doing or what it looks like before the before the phone's go dead you have a way to do it
[21:47]
phone's go dead you have a way to do it all right
and just look again the Bahamas got smashed so the other story I saw was that Disney has their own Island I don't know if you know this but the the company Disney they own an island called Castaway Cay in the Bahamas and apparently there's they're keeping their staff there so some members of their staff are writing at the hurricane on this little island that Disney owns now I've been to that Island so I've been on Castaway Cay Disney's own Island so it's it's this tiny little island where you could walk from one side to the other there I'm pretty sure there are no hills or mountains or anything it's just sort of a barely above sea level Island alright so here's the key part it's barely above sea level
[22:49]
somebody says is pronounced Casa wakey CA Y is pronounced kee good to know so thank you for that alright so castaway key and I'm asking myself having been on that island not too long ago well I guess it was long ago twelve years ago I can't imagine surviving a hurricane on that island so there must be there must be something on that island that's like a hurricane shelter because that would be one scary place to be there's there's not much in the way of shelter on the island that I saw so it must be some underground stuff and if it's underground how do they avoid flooding because it feels like the entire feels like the entire island would be under underwater under some situations because it's such a low to the ground anyway I have some real worries about the employees who stayed in that Island I hope they're safe but I'm sure it is you know Disney's Disney
[23:50]
I'm sure it is you know Disney's Disney is a pretty serious company so if Disney says that they're safe I tend to think they are I'm just curious how they could possibly be so that's all after the or why are they making them stay I have no idea no idea I mean there could be a good reason I just don't know what it is
of course they have a shelter it's a multi-billion dollar company well I'm just telling you I've been on the island and they're just these little like bathrooms and miners mightor I think there's like a snack bar that's about it there's no other building on the island that I saw might have been some maintenance buildings or something
[24:50]
why our cheat days Senate Diet questions actually we'll talk about that at some point I will talk about cheat days well I'll talk about it now if you're on a diet that allows you to cheat days you're not on a diet
there are probably some people here who are gonna resist that but I'll just say it again if you're on a diet that allows you cheat days they are days when you could eat whatever you want you're not on a diet you you have no chance of making that a permanent part of your life because all you do is all week long you just crave that bad food and then it reappear addiction to it and then you have to fight fight fight all week until you get your addiction fixed and then you fight fight fight all week you have no chance so when anybody tells me that their diet has a cheat day the first thing I hear in my head is oh you're not on a diet you're just doing something terrible to yourself you're torturing yourself and you have no chance of
[25:52]
yourself and you have no chance of making this a lasting change here's the difference people who are on real diets have learned this which is your your cravings for the food that's bad for you in my case french fries I have a craving for french fries more than any other food but the potatoes in french fries plus the fact they're fried it's terrible for you they're just terrible carbs everything about french fries is unhealthy for you and I can't resist them unless I have resisted them for a long time in other words if I go a month without french fries I lose the craving and then if I keep it up I can just forget that I ever liked it in the first place so every food that gives you a craving if you're if you're allowing a cheat day you're just it's sort of like well I'm gonna get off a heroin but I have a cheat day so yeah I'm gonna do heroin on Saturday
[26:54]
so yeah I'm gonna do heroin on Saturday but all the rest of the week I'm not gonna do any heroin would you say to yourself well there's a person who's getting off a heroin no no you wouldn't you would say there's a person who's going to be on heroin forever so food is like heroin in the sense that it's addictive the bad carbs the sugar literally trigger the addiction centers in your brain it's designed that way there's a book called sugar salt fat I may have those words mixed up but it teaches you about how the food science business manipulates sugar salt in fact the three three main variables of flavor or at least an addiction flavor and they manipulate them until your brain can't do without them it's really hard to quit them if you get those in the right combination and so a diet should be seen as breaking an addiction if you break the addiction to the the bad things that
[27:55]
the addiction to the the bad things that you'd normally like and you keep it broken and you don't go back to them well that's a diet and it wouldn't matter what else you're doing if the only thing you did was get rid of your addiction to things that are bad for you you know so does candy cake potatoes white rice that stuff if that's all you did you'd be great all right
what do I think about vaping well I'm no expert on vaping I hear all the stories about the dangers of vaping in people's lungs collapsing and and all that honestly when I see anybody vaping I have two thoughts one is I like them less sorry yeah I'm just biased when I see somebody vaping I see somebody who looks like they're not trying and they might be trying because so is so it's a bias on
[28:57]
trying because so is so it's a bias on my part if I see somebody vaping I say there's somebody who doesn't care about other people and they're not really trying to get off nicotine and there III don't know it's a bad look so let me say this seeing somebody smoke a regular cigarette for those who don't smoke we get pretty judgmental right we say well there's a person that I would not date in many cases there is a person I wouldn't necessarily want to hire because the smoking is gonna have an effect on productivity etc that's why I say I have the same feeling when I see somebody vaping they say well there's somebody vaping is a signal okay here's the best way to put it vaping is a very visible signal that you don't know how to manage your life that's what it looks like to me if you see somebody who is a really fit you
[29:58]
see somebody who is a really fit you know you see you see that their body is fit and they're they have lean muscles and stuff what do you say to yourself you say to yourself oh wow there's somebody who figured out how to do that stuff right probably they'd be good employees too because they're they're Fitness is signaling to me that they know how to have a structure they know how to do things that are hard they not a you know work a system etc but if I see somebody vaping I say there's somebody who doesn't know how how life works now I get that maybe some people are trying to get off cigarettes and that might help so you know you can't tell the difference between somebody who's using it as a trans transition strategy if that's real I don't know if it really works as a transition strategy but I would feel differently about somebody who's actually on some kind of a process to try to get off of tobacco all right
[31:01]
to try to get off of tobacco all right I'm seeing more and more people saying that my book had a failed almost everything and still win big has changed their lives I just tweeted around somebody else who who noted that if you have not read that book it's the one you should read first of my books so I got a lot of books I got bill burr books I got books on all kinds of stuff but if you're gonna read one book of mine you should read it had it failed almost everything and still win big because that one will change your life the most and you can see in the comments people saying it worked it worked for them oh actually you may be talking about something else you might be talking about vaping when you say it work for you so I'm not sure what your context is what's my thoughts on Bret Easton Ellis's book have not read it a lot of people in the comments are saying that my book changed their life okay
[32:06]
people cope in different ways I'd be pissed if someone told me to forego coffee well I don't tell you to forgo coffee I do think there might be some medical situations in which you should but I think coffee has passed all the tests of being good for you in most cases all right I'm just looking at your comments here why don't borders carry your books they do everybody carries my books all right what's a good diet for energy protein so 70 said what's a good diet for improving your energy and the answer is protein what's a good diet for losing weight eat more protein because the more protein you eat the less you know less hungry you are for more food and that more food might be something less good for you basically if you if you only
[33:08]
for you basically if you if you only wanted to do one thing keep it simple you'd say every time you're hungry say what's the best protein I can get right now if you say that every time you're hungry it will guide you to learn more protein and that would be very helpful mostly because it guides you away from bad carbs somebody says when I see someone drink coffee I assume they don't know how to get enough sleep yeah would you do an audio of Bigley there is an audio book of wimping lee I I recorded that in a few weeks I go in to record my new book loser thang so that has done records me at that that ends up getting done closer to publication date so the few weeks I'll be in the studio for several days recording that book what proteins do you eat mostly fish and nuts and and protein supplements our eggs
[34:14]
and and protein supplements our eggs good yeah I mean here you hear different things have I read atomic habits I haven't read it but I do know that James clear has very very similar concepts and he says he was influenced by my had a failed book I'm not a vegan I eat fish I've never been vegan I was once a vegetarian the slaughter meter yeah the slaughter meter is that 100% right now so the slaughter meter is the percentage chance that the President Trump will win re-election at this point looks like there's nobody to give him a tough run yeah avocados are good I eat it not good I probably eat one avocado a day minimum if you exercise aerobic ly a
[35:17]
day minimum if you exercise aerobic ly a lot you should eat a lot of carbs you should eat good carbs not bad ones so by the way I'm Christina and I are building a studio within the house here so that we can do some more professional sort of YouTube videos with two people she'll be she'll be joining me and we're going to do some content separate from this I'll still do this every morning but separate from that we're gonna we're gonna do some content with the two of us in more of a standard podcast form and probably have some guests at some point all right I'm just looking at your comments
do you read wait but why by Tim urban I have not read that yeah if there's a recession that's gonna change things but my guess is that we won't have one
[36:20]
my guess is that we won't have one anybody waiting for Michelle Obama is going to be disappointed there's no chance no chance that Michelle Obama will get into the race no chance at all not even the slightest tiniest chance there there are very few things I would say have zero chance because that's almost stupid to say that you know I always tease people who say well there's no chance of that because there's always some chance of things happening right you can always be surprised but the odds of the odds of Michelle Obama getting into the race at this point I think that's a zero you know put a gun to my head yeah I'll take the bat and I'm not worried about the gun we don't have a name for our podcast Kristina and I do not yeah it'll be like the Joe Rogan studio sort of the the poor man's version Joe Rogan has a an engineer who does the technology and insists air during the podcast Christina
[37:21]
insists air during the podcast Christina is going to be the engineer in my case because she she likes that stuff so Christine is actually putting the whole studio together she's she's done everything from the from the you know the lights lighting to the sound to the video to the editing she's she's pulling that all together what are good carbs complex carbs like yams there are lots of examples of good carbs yeah broccoli good carb are you going to do anything with Bill pulled a yes well see bill pulled a is more of an ongoing what would I say more of an an ongoing effort so there's there's never a beginning or an end to what bill Polti is doing is philanthropy on the internet so yes I'm sure that I'll have some conversations for them why no red meat I just don't
[38:22]
for them why no red meat I just don't care for it it's a it's purely personal and I don't I know to digest it well what topics would have we're still talking about that I think we're going to talk about we won't do politics with possibly one exception we might do some trivia about politics but not politics per se I think we're going to talk more about interesting things and relationship things and some topics that are just interesting will you meet Christina yeah she'll be she'll be the co-host of the podcast so she'll be on every every podcast the entire time so yes you will we're going to do it recording so won't be live and we'll just take it to YouTube well I have virtual reality in the studio
[39:24]
do I eat dairy I don't avoid it but I don't you know I'm not gonna drink milk or eat a Roy I don't know why I'm just babbling now I'm just looking at your questions because I am avoiding work weed what about we can you talk about the effect of virtual reality on the mainstream well in my office right here where I am I have a virtual reality set up it's the htc and I've I've used a number of the contents so here here's my bottom line on virtual reality number one it does make you sick at the moment I imagine that will fix that but at the moment if you play any of the virtual reality games and there's motion involved there's a good chance that you will be essentially you have sort of a motion sickness when you take it off and keep in mind that I don't have motion
[40:24]
keep in mind that I don't have motion sickness in the real world so you I can do anything I can do rides car you know car trips anything and I don't get any motion sickness but the VR will make me sick 100% of the time and the sickness lasts I'd say an hour you know doesn't last all night but for a good hour you're sick you know throw up you know there's there's no vomiting but you're you you're nauseous for about an hour after you use it now if they don't get that fixed there's no future to it but I'm imagining they probably well it feels like the sort of thing that could get fixed the other thing that you realize is that you do treat the virtual reality world like it's real in other words the things you feel with the the goggles on your sensations are as if real so motion feels real you know space feels like you're really in that space you have actual fear about doing things in the virtual reality that look like they'd be
[41:24]
virtual reality that look like they'd be dangerous even though you know that they're not real
you all right danger of deep fake videos well those dangers are obvious yeah yeah when you put the virtual reality headset on and you spend a little time in that world it's really easy to imagine that we are that we are a simulated species is real easy can you integrate hypnosis with VR I suppose you could I don't know why you'd need a reason what's going to happen if Trump doesn't win well then you got a Democrat for a president no
[42:29]
you got a Democrat for a president no Dumba's bet oh he does seem a little bit dumb doesn't he it's hard to judge people's intelligence just by their you know public personas but I have to admit if feels like if Beto did an IQ test next to other politicians you would not do so well I mean let me ask you this who's smarter Andrew yang or better or org Andrew yang simple right who's smarter Kamla Harris or Beto O'Rourke calm lares who is smarter Elizabeth Warren or better or Elizabeth Warren you know not even close who's smarter Bernie or bet Oh Bernie I mean is there anybody dumber yeah who's smarter mayor Pete or better or mayor Pete it it would be really hard to come up with somebody who is dumber than Beto Beto who was actually on the

[44:30]
she's got some things she's gonna need to explain do you all know the stories so there's that somebody said swallow swallow isn't dumb swab well isn't even close to dumb he just does things you don't like that's very different
