[Applause] well come on it button there's plenty of room if it seems crowded could you try to stay six feet away from each other please you're you're crowding now you're getting a little close to each other I need to control you I need to control you stay in your homes don't buy guns well how is it been since last we spoke here in California it's a really nice day and I understand most of the beaches were we're opened oh my cats being bad if you see some weird activity up here just assume it's cat related so would you like to hear about all the things all the things that are happening I know you would that's why you're here let's talk about all the things so I have a tip for life all

[1:15]

things so I have a tip for life all right so this is one of the most valuable tips you might ever hear now I'm not sure if it'll work for everyone it could be that you have to have a certain kind of personality all right my cat is getting ready to chase this thing and she's not gonna leave me alone unless I throw it well that totally worked all right so here's the tip I think I wrote about this as my how to feel a novel star anything can still win the big book one of the tricks to stay motivated and happy and and feeling that I have meaning in my life or let's stop right there if I can give you a tip that would totally work didn't cost you anything almost no effort really in fact it's better than no effort the thing you do would actually just feel good so so you just have to do so is easy it feels good you want to do it

[2:17]

is easy it feels good you want to do it and it would give meaning to your life it would make you happier are you in anybody anybody alright here's the tip in addition to whatever else you have in your life whatever ambitions and objectives whatever systems or maybe even goals for some of you no matter what else is happening in your life I use this little trick and I've been using it my whole life and it's great I like to have one thing going on in my life that could change the world very unlikely it will but it might and for my entire life I've always had at least one thing brewing then if it worked it would really work a lot and I didn't care what it was it could be an idea it could be a you know book it could be something like that I think - you know in small ways some things work my way in the sense

[3:20]

some things work my way in the sense that Dilbert is a household word you know Dilbert is actually in dictionaries and people know what that means so I had a little bit of you know a little bit of influence on the the office cartoon world but you know not not the most important thing in the world you could change and you know maybe I've had some some influence here and my book had a failed almost everything and still win big I hear every day from someone who says it changed their life but the you know those are individual things but here's here's that here's my new one and I have to tell you this because I realized I've been doing something in public that I didn't realize was not it couldn't possibly be obvious to anybody else what I was doing because sometimes there's an internal process and that is what I'm talking about the vitamin D stuff you've all heard be said there there seems to be as far as we can tell a high

[4:20]

be as far as we can tell a high correlation between how people do when they get the coronavirus and whether there the deficient and this is I think it's useful and fun to talk about it but also what if it's true what if it's true that this is a really big deal now so this you know at least for this week this was my one thing so my one thing was because I have this this weird platform I can attract all these people who actually know what they're talking about so if you see if you follow me on most of you follow me on Twitter you see that there are quite a few doctors and biologists and immunologists and radiologists and stuff who are weighing in on questions that I asked and while I'm since I'm not an

[5:23]

asked and while I'm since I'm not an expert on anything I'm really bad at answering questions but I'm gonna asking them and sometimes if you ask a question and you find out nobody has an answer well you've kind of learned something and maybe it moves something forward maybe in the process you connect a few people who wouldn't have been connected so when I'm doing this vitamin D stuff yeah and what I mean by that is I'm over tweeting and interacting with the whole topic apparently there's just scads of examples of where vitamin D is so strongly correlated that could be confirmation bias but it looks it feels real so until we get disappointed much in the way that I think hydroxychloroquine might be not the kill shot that we wanted maybe it helps a little I suspect that vitamin D will just be one of those things that turns out to be useful but you know not the thing that

[6:24]

useful but you know not the thing that changes the world but it might be and here's why it might be and here's the little thing that I'm going to add to the conversation okay now the little thing about I don't know if it makes sense I don't know if it's but remember the context until I find out it's a bad idea and that what I'm doing is useless I have I can live in this fantasy world and this is I'm deadly serious about this I can live in this fantasy world where I'm this close to making something good happen that would change the world meaning you know let's say we discovered for sure it was vitamin D and that caused you know a fairly easy solution to happen so until I find out it's wrong I get all the the chemistry benefit of working on something that would have great meaning and purpose now do you get that I can enjoy the fantasy just like it's real

[7:28]

enjoy the fantasy just like it's real but at the same time it is real in the sense that it's not impossible I mean I've done a lot of things that seemed impossible before I did them you've seen a few of them if it turns out that cavil Harris is the the vice presidential nominee and then becomes the real nominee you will see the greatest prediction of all time so I kind of live in a world where I have this continuous stream of experiences that couldn't possibly be real because there's someone like Lee so this you know why couldn't this be another one now here's my little thing that I'm adding because lots of other people have done the work of you know studying the the chemistry and looking at the correlations and finding out where there's more or less vitamin D Elizabeth Bradford I've been tweeting her all day she's really looked into it and I kind

[8:28]

she's really looked into it and I kind of hope that people will fact-checker and I think a little that's going on so what I especially on this topic if I tweet something it's not because I believe it sometimes I just want to believe it but I'm looking for smarter people to say ah this is crap this study is bad in fact that just happened like an hour ago and let me get to the part I'm going to add when I talk about vitamin D you reflexively think that what I'm talking about is they that you would give it to people to make them feel better or recover faster I'm not talking about that I have no idea if that's a good idea you know I know it's been suggested I don't know anything about that so I have nothing to add to that science you know the medical community obviously is aware of vitamin D and you know so there's nothing I could add to that right
likewise there's this this thought that maybe if you just supplement and bring

[9:28]

maybe if you just supplement and bring yourself up to some certain level you might have some immunity so if you were low even but that might be risky so maybe you'd be safer and bring it up because that seems to be the the correlation / causation but if we've learned nothing since you've watched my periscopes if you've learned nothing it's that correlation does not mean causation and if there is causation here's the fun part you don't really know which way it goes all you know is one things causing one thing but you you sort of leap to a conclusion that the the causation is you didn't have enough vitamin D so something went wrong but what if everybody who's unhealthy in any way has less vitamin D and all it is is a coat of like a co marker for somebody who has bad health maybe it's the bad health that causes

[10:30]

maybe it's the bad health that causes them not to have much vitamin D maybe it's the vitamin D shortage that causes them to have bad health most likely it's both you know a little bi-directional meaning that if you're really unhealthy it's probably hard to get the vitamin D you want and if you don't get the vitamin D you want it probably makes you unhealthy so without being a doctor or anything close to it it kind of makes sense to me that if there is any causation it's more likely a little in both directions than it is just hey here's some vitamin D you're safe from the coronavirus but here's the fun part it doesn't matter this is the part that I'm gonna add because I think there's an illusion here that people are having trouble seeing past and I did a terrible job of explaining it so now I'm going to nail it it doesn't matter if there's any causation as long as the correlation is

[11:34]

causation as long as the correlation is really strong here's why it would be one more important indicator to simply tell you if it was safe to go outside wouldn't you like one easy to test thing they wouldn't tell you everything but if you had good you know a vitamin D level that was right in this zone you would just mathematically be a little safer now and suppose you were a little bit low well there's no harm and in boosting up your vitamin D into the acceptable level apparently there is a way you can overdose not with the Sun you know if you get it from the Sun I don't your body just adjusts but you could if you were supplementing apparently you could overdose so so don't overdose but since there's nothing to lose for optimizing your vitamin D and there's there's plenty of science to suggest that it's important and lots of ways there's

[12:35]

important and lots of ways there's nothing to lose and it might it might tell you you know who's had a special risk so if the only thing it did is tell you who's at risk could be it could be a big deal but causation I'm not so sure about that if you wanted to you know find out for sure about the causation I think we already have the right data don't we because you would do things such as for some reason the not for some reason I think I have a hypothesis but so prisons several prisons have tested at that like 95 to 100 and infection 95 to 100% affection infection but almost nobody dies and they're prisoners so what's up with that here's my assumption first of all and this Elizabeth Brown was saying this as well that you know first of all if

[13:38]

well that you know first of all if you're in prison you probably get some time outside there are a lot of people in just the regular world who don't get any time outside so if you're in prison you might get a little more Sun then people are not in prison it's not entirely impossible I mean I don't know how often they go outside but if they get 15 minutes outside they're probably getting more Sun than most people secondly it makes sense that because you can't have a prison that is intentionally cruel that the food is probably engineered and in fact I've read this but I don't know if it's true everywhere is engineered to have the right nutrients including they supplement with vitamin D so the weird ironic thing about being in prison is it might be the healthiest lifestyle you could possibly have because you don't have stress you know if assuming that you're not being on being beat up by the

[14:39]

you're not being on being beat up by the other prisoners or the guards I guess but I always think most of the time you're just bored and you probably get plenty of sleep you have a perfectly balanced meals because you couldn't eat anything else anyway so yeah you're reading books you know you might not want to be in jail I assume I haven't been in jail I don't think they're happy about it but you know the the unhappiness seems to be primarily mental so they might be super healthy they got nothing to do but exercise Annie perfect food supplemented with vitamin D so you could just compare that group to a group that's not that's not somehow comparable let's say you picked the same ethnicities same age same gender and just say all right you're not being supplemented with perfect food and you're not walking outside the in the in the prison yard for 15 minutes a day how are you doing you know we probably have all the data we need we just have

[15:39]

have all the data we need we just have to you know find it all right if you are now subscribing on well I've been following on Twitter just the real just the real news which is that at head snipe 0 1 1 you're missing some great stories because you know when there are big stories there can be other big stories that you just don't even notice so there's one that's potentially pretty big story that doesn't have the zip so you wouldn't know about it except for just the real news which picks up a lot of the government personally stuff so apparently this guy Randy Weber the House Science Space Technology Committee energy subcommittee blah blah blah he's introducing legislation that's gonna really boost the nuclear energy business so it's building a what is it the this little buzzword that you should know

[16:40]

little buzzword that you should know they're building the the versatile test reactor that's what it is so the versatile versatile means that it's a test reactor that they can they can test a whole variety of fuels until they find the one that's the great one because I guess there are lots of things that can be tested and need to be but the ability to iterate is the main thing that holds back the nuclear energy business this is something that navall sent when he was on my periscope a while ago that unlike something like an iPhone where you can just sort of crank one out every year it takes so long to get approval and build a nuclear plant that you can't just say well oh that was almost right let's build us another one you can't iterate but this versatile a tester reactor will let them iterate the

[17:40]

tester reactor will let them iterate the far faster than if they were actually building nuclear plants to see if it works so it's such a it feels like the small geeky thing but if this bill gets passed and I think there might be enough support for it if this bill gets passed it just sort of unlocks the future I mean it might be enormous you know it's the fixed climate change if if you're worried about it if you're not worried about it it's what's driving you know powering your electric car in taking care of your pollution I mean the the potential is just so enormous that this little technical change in the system so this is system versus goal that I always talk about a goal is to build a better nuclear power plant but it's hard right that's why we don't do it so much it's hard you know in every way politically

[18:43]

hard you know in every way politically funding it you know the technology so the solution is to build a system instead so instead of saying let's build a nuclear power plant which was too hard not many got built relative to what we need they build the system instead so this is what I'm so geeking out about it because it looks like the thinking about how to do it is exactly right and we've never had that before yeah just in time for oil to become cheap right somebody says so Ted Cruz continues to impress me with that I feel like his political skills are getting better all the time and they correct me if I'm wrong he is totally stealing technique from Trump to put on the show right because he wasn't always this good and when I say this good I mean this entertaining meaning this much of a showman and it seems to be Ted Cruz is

[19:47]

showman and it seems to be Ted Cruz is one of these guys you could you could easily underestimate I mean came pretty close to getting you know nominated for the presidency so maybe you wouldn't underestimate him but he just impresses me sometimes in the way that not too many politicians do and I always talk about being smart enough to pick up free money and have a Trump that's his like his trademark he'll simply do the thing that nobody even knew was available he'll just say I'll take it like for example starting the space force somebody was going to do it might as well be him then he'll be famous for Everest the guy who started space forces free money so Ted Cruz goes and gets a haircut from the woman who was just released by the governor from jail for opening up illegally at her little hair rehearsal hunt so Ted Cruz puts on his mask the cameras are rolling and he goes out it gets a haircut and then it comes out and you know with his mask on gives a gives a speech about

[20:48]

mask on gives a gives a speech about freedom and stuff and I'm not even invested one bit in the story itself you know I like you I don't worry but here to go to jail for something like that it's ridiculous I'm glad that Texas corrected took way too long I mean I'm not sure I can give Texas that much credit because you know releasing her and you know fixing it was nice but it shouldn't have happened in the first place right so that you can't take that away so Ted Cruz sees free money now not everybody had the opportunity because you sorta have to you know be close enough that you didn't have to take a plane or something so Ted Cruz picks up to free money he gets this great press you know you have a laugh about it because it's funny the here's the the Trump technique Trump has layered out his skill stack you know there's

[21:49]

his skill stack you know there's knowledge of politics and business and then he puts on top of it his showmanship you know the reality TV thing and his you know showmanship over his entire career because he's always been in the public eye and so he makes it work and it's completely shameless when Trump does it you know he's putting on a show because he tells he's putting on a show why is that something your finger now like he is there to entertain you when he puts on a rally its stand-up comedy everybody knows it he it's not it's not accidentally funny he's there to entertain because he's he's figured out as Ronald Reagan figured out that a really good combination of skills is entertainment plus politics it's a really good combo you know president of the Ukraine would would tell you the same quite a few people with theatrical backgrounds have sort of made that work so Ted Cruz picking up the theatrical chops

[22:50]

picking up the theatrical chops impressive nice move all right so again let me give you a movie review of the two movies that are playing then flipping back and forth between CNN and and Fox News am I wrong that it's more trippy right now than it ever has been have you ever seen it this trippy this matte Gates's birthday well happy birthday to magnets so here are the two movies over on Fox News is the continuing story of how Flynn was entrapped by crooked cops who probably committed treason not cops but you know say FBI and justice people and that's the story it was a dirty operation by crooked people against this poor

[23:51]

crooked people against this poor innocent guy but justice prevailed president didn't even need to pardon pardon him because there was so nothing there and just like there was nothing in the Russia occlusion and now it's all revealed as a hoax maybe some of these are people are going to jail they're gonna pay a big price that's movie one I'd say movie one would be sort of a drama crime drama wouldn't you say crime drama yeah and it looks like the third act is over because Flynn has you know he's escaped certain problems I gotta tell you I didn't think Flynn was gonna get this exonerated honestly you know I didn't think what he did was so bad but I didn't think he'd get completely exonerated he was a little more exonerated than I expected I do however think it was completely legitimate because the thing he did

[24:52]

legitimate because the thing he did wrong he was entrapped in so if you're entrapped should you do any any penalty for being entrapped I'd say no in most cases I don't know maybe there's an exception not this one so in movie 2 it's it's more like a well some kind of fantasy science fiction thing or at least this is how it reads to me so remember that the whole point of the two movies is that they're playing on the same screen at the same time we're looking at the same facts but getting a different movie and and the other the other thing is that you can't tell which one's a real one the only thing that matters is which one predicts so see if there's a difference in predictive power here so movie two this is one you can see if you go to see you then Flynn lied and broke the law and it's some kind of and this would be MSNBC would say this - so Flynn was a criminal yeah clearly broke a law lied to the FBI

[25:53]

yeah clearly broke a law lied to the FBI that's not a serious crime people gonna go to jail for that it's a miscarriage of justice that he's freed after these crimes he committed crimes after all a criminal and and he's freed why you just let a criminal go well why would you let a criminal go obviously because the Trump administration is corrupt from Trump to bar and bar is just a toady doesn't think for himself he's just doing what the president wants it's a miscarriage of justice I tell you not present in movie - is they blackmailed him by saying they were going to put his son in jail but movie 2 is silent on the blackmailing the guy and the threatening to put his kid in jail in movie 2 he's obviously a criminal he admitted it he admitted he was a criminal so did the

[26:57]

he admitted he was a criminal so did the Central Park five people admit they're criminals sometimes they are sometimes they're not sometimes I can't tell the difference but we all know that people admit to crimes that they didn't commit why would Flynn admit to a crime he didn't commit could it be the threatening to put his son in jail the dwindling fortune as he his entire life is drained out through through his lawyers could be one of those things maybe so and then just before I got out I was like the this is what CNN is interpreting Trump to have meant when Trump was talking about the members of the who was at the pence assistant and also his valet so they thought they've tested positive for

[27:58]

thought they've tested positive for coronavirus and so the president was saying how often they're tested they're tested every day and he made the point that you know that one of them was tested negative one day and then the very next day they tested positive and the president was you know saying you know like that's why doesn't help to test basically you're saying something like it doesn't help to test because you know the very next day could be the day you're positive now CNN's interpretation of that is that he actually means that testing is worthless and he's crazy it's like tell him it's the follow-up to he advised drinking bleach so they're interpreting the fact that he donated there's a flaw that you could get it the day after you had test that's just a statement of fact it's an actual flaw there to extend that to say that he thinks that testing is a bad idea and care work is a pretty big

[29:00]

bad idea and care work is a pretty big it's a pretty big stretch somebody says Bill Gates agrees yes let me let me connect those dots bill great Bill Gates does agree that if you're not doing massive testing like really available to everybody and they can get a lot of them you can't test your way out and we're nowhere near the number that we would be able to do that so the president hasn't said that but it's a big stretch to go from yeah you could get it the day after the test which everybody knew was a was it new news was anybody surprised that you could get it the day after you got a test I mean you have to get a Sunday why couldn't that be true it's like nothing really happened we always knew you could get it the day after you get a test so anyway that's the CNN interpretation did you see the video of the creepy little four-legged robot that's patrolling a

[30:01]

four-legged robot that's patrolling a park in is it Hong Kong it's a little robot a four-legged robot that walks like that crazy dog I don't know there's a General Dynamics robot and it's really creepy because it it's got these little stick paws sex stick stick stick and it looks like it you know the worst scary sigh is a sci-fi movie and it's gonna chase you down and kill you with the other robot dogs and it's just walking through the park saying keep your distance social distance if somebody says it's Singapore it's not right is that what the are my notes incorrect that seems so impossible yes Singapore it is fact-check correct it is Singapore so Nate Silver who is really really interesting in on the coronavirus stuff now you know I know that

[31:01]

now you know I know that if it were purely political yeah you would think oh you probably think he's leaning left whatever well I don't know I'm not so sure that's true meaning that he's certainly not he's certainly not nailed up on the left meaning that if the numbers go a different direction these follows the numbers so he does have it quite independent I would say largely unbiased of you and we he's talking about the coronavirus there's not much bias to be had everybody just wants it to be better so he says he's bothered because a lot of stories in the media that they say the the number of infections is going up and they say they don't mention but the number of testing is going up which of course means the number that you queue numbers that you detect is going up because you're testing or now and and he's just sort of calling out the various the various

[32:04]

calling out the various the various publications and I guess the New York Times and Monday published the the story titled s as Trump pushes to reopen government sees virus toll nearly doubling any like that headline they don't mention that the reason is nearly doubling or at least some part of the reason is that the amount of testing probably doubled don't you think that was court sort of important context well may silver does so he's been calling them out for that all right let me give you a review of the new press secretary Kelly mcenany you have all of you seen some of her some of her recent performances how many has she done now two or three I've seen bits of some and I saw a lot of this last one and here is my review of her performance as press secretary maybe the best ever maybe the

[33:10]

secretary maybe the best ever maybe the best ever and here's why I say that because the best ever really depends on the the fit right it's not like there's no such thing as the best the best press secretary what what there is is the best fit for their boss you know the one who represents their boss to us and while there there have been plenty of capable press secretaries I can't imagine a better fit for Trump than that what we're witnessing and here's why same point I made with Ted Cruz Ted Cruz has upped his game tremendously by learning from the president to put on some Shou apparently caitli mcenany now sort of freed from the confines or four mirror pondichery that she's famous for in political seasons she seems to be free to put on the show and I would love

[34:11]

free to put on the show and I would love to know to what extent she actually talked with the president about it like I wonder if they had an explicit conversation where either he suggested like go big you know just go big maybe he might have you know put on a show or did she say do you mind you know would you mind if I make this fun or is it just understood cuz you know she knows who he is he hired her for a reason you know maybe they just understand it so I'd love to know what the conversation was like but if he didn't catch the some of her performance apparently what she's her act is going to date and I think I could watch this forever by the way so I think she's done it three times and what it is is she has some kind of a little press book with Oliver zingers lined up in anticipation of exactly what questions are going to be asked and then she just and that she waits for the question and she then she

[35:13]

waits for the question and she then she goes to the zinger and they're really good best singers yet so here are some of them so one was you know the president was blamed for underplaying the virus at one point early on so you know and should he apologize for just look like that and without missing a beat she flips open a page and she starts reading off the headlines should the Washington Post apologize for this headline and then she reads all these different anti-trump publication headlines that totally were said the same thing he said then it wasn't a big deal was just the flu blah blah and it's like then she just smiles and walks off thank you very much it was like the best ending for a press conference because it was so prepared now I think so people tried to criticize her because it was a prepared response to which I say a prepared response that works really well and becomes the you know one of the main

[36:14]

becomes the you know one of the main clips shown on television completely transmits her point that it was generally people were generally on the same page about that same time be they Trump or be they Trump's critics they were sort of all on the same page because we had all had the bad information from China so it did everything you'd want to do it it put on a show it became the clip that was circulated it it she executed it perfectly because she has all this experience from you know her punditry etc but you thought you thought she was done it looks like she had another prepared one that she landed that I think was even better so one of the anti choppers asked the basically wife he had said bad things about Trump in 2015 when she was actually I think she was working on somebody else's campaign and she said

[37:15]

on somebody else's campaign and she said bad things about Trump because he was just one of the people running and and they asked her you know why she said that and now now she's working for him and if she said that back in 2015 for a few months you made the mistake of watching CNN and naively believing it
she says she so she accepted this what she said that the past was stupid and wrong but it's because she watched CNN and believed there is so funny it's because it's completely compatible with what CNN was reporting what they what they what they blamed her for saying was exactly what CNN was and still does report so she goes well I just naively believe CNN and it's so disarming because this feels like a like a trump

[38:18]

because this feels like a like a trump move I swear she studied him or something because even referring to herself as being naive for a book yeah that's that's the disarming part because you can't say you were Knight oh you said you were naive okay you can't even blame her for being naive because you just yeah what do you got left like well you shouldn't have believed CNN no I can't go with you shouldn't have believed CNN I'll go with they weren't saying no they were saying exactly that but I'll go with well you shouldn't have believed well we kind of think you should believe whoa so just took everything off the table it looked like it was prepared as well and then she was prepared with this thing about the no talking I think she just went after CNN for running with the Russia collusion narrative and this was the best I think this is the best little closer on this so she's going after the

[39:21]

closer on this so she's going after the CNN because all of these people said these horrible lies that we now know her lies and she was you're talking about clapper and Loretta Lynch and she rattles off all these sort of bad people who were CNN staple guests and and she says CNN view CNN viewers might be confused about all this because I don't get this eat the dues I mean that's paraphrasing but she said let's see if that of yours might be confused i hearing these names cuz it because they have no idea what's going on and she's so right CNN view viewers literally but literally they don't know what's going on they don't know the trees happened they actually don't know it it's not like they've looked at you know both sides of the argument and decided they like this one they actually don't know it what kind of a world do we live in where an attempted overthrow of

[40:23]

live in where an attempted overthrow of the government that was the biggest story for three years when we finally get to the truth the network that's been promoting it just shuts down the truth and they hide the facts they still have to report the basic facts but the way they're doing it is they're burying it in other context so you can barely you can barely pick out the narrative that they're trying to hide if they do it really well no almost I'll give them that all right that is just about all I wanted to say Joe Biden so could you be more amused I don't know how many times I've laughed at this that the the Democrats are are so mad about Trump they hate him so much that they're willing to back Biden who clearly is you

[41:26]

willing to back Biden who clearly is you know I've referred to him as a burlap bag full of twigs and and hair there's just nothing in there and the fact that they would prefer him and they would even take him and they explain more and more people are explicitly saying he might have been a little rapey but we still prefer him over orange man bad and to watch them have to throw away all of their alleged principles to throw away everything they've ever said about following the facts using reason picking somebody whose personality is stable and you could you know depend on them and an emergency getting somebody who's finally smart somebody who's got control of his faculties they didn't get any of that yeah I feel as if you could have packed

[42:28]

yeah I feel as if you could have packed a room with you know Democrats just say randomly selected Democrats and you know throw out I don't want to say throw a dart because I don't want to make this violence so throw a ping-pong ball you know into a roomful of Democrats and whichever one it hit first Bing just say you you I don't know who you are but the ping-pong ball he and they had come up here here the next candidate for the president United States tell me the truth could you pick a better candidate than Joe Biden that would represent the Democratic Party better in every way with a ping-pong ball thrown into a darkened room packed full of Democrats who didn't get the memo of God bow to social distancing right literally every single person in the Democratic Party

[43:29]

except Hillary baby would be a better choice I challenge you who Adam Schiff would be a worse choice maybe well least he can think he might be corrupt but you can think all right so I I get endless entertainment for that there is still some kind of belief that he can win and a stranger things have happened right so much could happen over the summer who knows but did you see the stock market today the stock market so by you know I have a retirement account for being a small business so my SAP is actually back to the highest point it's ever met did you see that comment now my regular you know other other assets are nowhere near that but they're not that far off they're probably ten or fifteen percent away so they're kind of where

[44:30]

percent away so they're kind of where they were out of year or so ago so basically the stock market is already backed Trump don't tell me I'm wrong the stock market has already backed to Trump because that it wouldn't be high without this the his his optimism about 2021 and I keep telling you that the economy is a psychology machine as long as you don't have shortages and we're coming into a situation where we have it extra of everything extra employees extra space to rent unfortunately the only thing we don't have is a lot of credit it will probably fix that as well so Trump in a in a world that doesn't have a shortage because you can't always fix the shortage easily that's the hardest thing but if you have all the parts it's a psychology engine Trump has already convinced you that 2021

[45:32]

already convinced you that 2021 this can be frickin great ask yourself this is there any chance the stock market would be as high as it is right now and it's been pretty solid last few days is there any chance that would be happening if the entire financial community and everybody buy stock had not decided that when President Trump said Twenty twenty one is gonna be frickin amazing they believe it they believe it right I think they believe it and and the story is actually quite believable I actually believe it myself but here's the cool part you can actually believe this into reality the economy is the one thing you can actually manifest with your thoughts maybe not you personally but collectively as long as you're sort of following the leader in this case the

[46:33]

following the leader in this case the the president's estimation of what 2020 will look like as long as we're collectively buying into that it has to happen because it's the believing it will happen that allows you to get a loan you can't get a loan if somebody believes things are going in the wrong direction so you can manifest the recovery with your minds literally with your minds that's what makes the the physical stuff happen and the president has already pulled off a miracle completely unreported tell me if I'm exaggerating the president has just taking the worst economic disaster of my lifetime and I've been around a while it's the worst one in my lifetime and he has convinced you that in a mirror let's say nine months we're going to be hitting really good times and people

[47:34]

hitting really good times and people have believed it it's really really amazing and I don't think you know I think people will imagine that they came to it on their own right people are gonna say well we you know we've kind of figured that out on our own that's not what happened no the president convinced everybody who has a dollar that they can invest he convinced them this would be a good time to do it because if you wait to next year you've already been missed the run-up it worked so I've said this before I was you know a fairly brutal on the president for some of his early task force performance you know too much politics too much about him you know that law duty list it just it just wasn't a strong performance some of that stuff but I've said from the start if you could pick one person in the universe to be your president when you're coming back online and the thing you need more than and thing is somebody to tell you 20:21 Wow

[48:36]

thing is somebody to tell you 20:21 Wow it's gonna be amazing and he provided that he was the right guy in the right place uh-huh you would not why anyone else in the universe to be in that job right now jus alright somebody says I don't think it's retail investors behind the recovery I don't know I think it's everybody I haven't seen a statistics but I would imagine is fairly broad just the gas don't know please do sleep meditation yes I will it's time for all of you to start winding down I thought I would end with that a little bit of feel good news I think that there's some really good news ahead of us you can kind of feel it and tomorrow maybe even tonight you give a

[49:36]

tomorrow maybe even tonight you give a start thinking to yourself is there any way I could change the world even if it's unlikely what would you have to do in a very small way tomorrow could be just the smallest little step maybe you look something up maybe you talked to somebody maybe you just think about it but what could you do to feel like you've started something that might maybe it won't but it might change the world for the better and then see how it feels it'll make you feel like you have meaning even though it's somewhat fantasy or is it because you've heard this said before by somebody smart somebody somebody will say well one person can't change the world and then I forget who said it but somebody smart said it's always one person it's always

[50:39]

said it's always one person it's always one person who changes the world because everything starts with one person and if you think you can't change the world look at the people who have do they have something you don't have well they're different but maybe not maybe you can be part of changing the world at the very least we'll need a lot of help pulling out of this little economic downturn so I know I can count on all of you and right now I want you to take a deep breath from your diaphragm and then exhale one more breathe through your nose deep breath

[51:43]

now exhale feel your body relaxing the stress leaving you remember your exercise squeeze your fist as far as you can until your muscles are exhausted and then just release it feel how good it feels then pick another muscle could be your other hand it could be your arm whatever order you want to do it squeeze that muscle then relax it think about your breathing breathe deeply and slowly and feel yourself drifting off thinking about how you just maybe could change the world and watch how good it feels you're gonna have a great night's sleep tonight and when you wake up tomorrow most of you not everyone of you but most of you are gonna wake up thinking well I feel really good today and I will see you in the morning
