boom ba-ba-boom ba-ba-boom so there's a little question that people have challenged me with and it goes like this Scott they say you said recently that tutorial videos should not have an introduction you should just get right into the lesson and then you do these periscopes and you have this blah blah blah simultaneous if introduction stuff like I'm doing right now feels like some kind of a hypocrite or something but let me tell you why I do it on these live streams I do it on the live streams so you have time to get in here that's why but as a secondary effect which is this is a persuasion tip those of you who got in here early you're gonna get the persuasion tip this is a really really really strong persuasion tip if you were to rank all of the tips for persuasion this would be in the top five right up there with scaring people and using

[1:11]

there with scaring people and using visual persuasion simplicity etc so it's one of your top persuasion tips and it goes like this if you can get somebody to do anything anything you can get them to do more more likely it's a statistical thing so if you can get somebody to do you a small favor it Prime's them to do larger favors this is proven by studies by the way if you read the book influenced by Jill Dini he talks about this so a salesperson for example would try to get you to do something small because if they can get you to do something they can build on that to get you to do a little bit more you become comfortable with the idea that somebody's giving you ideas and you're acting upon them so when I do the simultaneous up people enjoy it in fact I didn't I didn't invent it and then spring it on people I just sort of

[2:12]

then spring it on people I just sort of did it one day and be said they liked it so I did more of it so basically I was just responding to the public but the reason I responded is that I recognized that it would be the strongest form of bonding relationship just like singing just like exercising together just like going through an experience together if I can get any percentage of you to do the simultaneous sip in the morning we bond is there anything wrong with that no because you know exactly what I'm doing it's very transparent I'm telling you I do it because people like it and it helps you bond nothing wrong with that right the world is persuasion it's not all bad persuasion it's not all the manipulation sometimes it's just the engineering wouldn't you like your content to be more interesting of course you would so what I I would like your content to be more interesting too so I use techniques

[3:13]

more interesting too so I use techniques which are fully transparent to make yourself so that's what that's all about
in the news today Joe Biden went to a cemetery no no no no no you're so live he visited a cemetery he visited we think he visited he was wearing a mask and dark aviator glasses so I'm not gonna say it was a hundred percent Joe Biden but the parts that we could see which was really just this little narrow forehead part it looked a lot like his forehead I gotta say I mean you could sort of fake the hair and the glasses and the mask but that little strip on his forehead I think that was him I would recognize that anywhere so he got out of the basement I think for Christmas instead of Elf on a shelf have you heard of that I don't know

[4:14]

have you heard of that I don't know exactly what that's all about I think there was a children's book called Elf on a shelf so every Christmas people put a little a little elf on the shelf I don't know why you do it but I think this Christmas we should have basement Biden's Biden in the basement I think I might repurpose one of my Dilbert dolls to make it a little Joe Biden doll I'll just put a little face on it and I'm gonna make that my basement Biden and just gonna put that in my basement as a sort of a holiday tradition interestingly Joe Biden visited the cemetery today but I did not see footage of him leaving so I mean I'm not trying to start any rumors I'm just stating a fact I saw a video of him arriving didn't see anything of him leaving not that that means anything I'm

[5:14]

leaving not that that means anything I'm just telling you the facts
so CNN found a way to be more ridiculous today you didn't think it was possible did you come on be honest did you think it was possible for seeing them to be more ridiculous you didn't you didn't think that but here it is and I swear I'm not making this up this is an actual tweet from CNN oh that was just a warm-up there will be more cursing later stick around for that here's the actual tweet from CNN and I swear it looks like it's just a joke or something so it says that the novel would the novel coronavirus seems to be more deadly for men and I'm thinking to myself well that that's unusual is CNN highlighting dangers to men now because that's unusual but read

[6:17]

men now because that's unusual but read on that's just the first sentence the novel coronavirus seems to be more deadly for men but in many other ways women are bearing the brunt of this pandemic what what for instance it goes on for instance the majority of health workers are women yet to get paid it I didn't read the whole tweet I didn't read the whole tweet before I decided to do this because the part I read was so stupid I thought oh I got to read this in public only right now I swear is the first time I've read the rest of the tweet I didn't know it was this funny yet they get paid 20% less than average than men according to the wait for it wait for it I want to read the beginning of the sentence again so that we can have the timing right when I do the reveal for the end of the sentence the end of the sentence is

[7:19]

sentence the end of the sentence is going to be an expert entity or organization possibly somebody who studied this carefully so this is going to be an authority at the end of the sentence let me start from the beginning of the sentence so that we have the full context here from CNN's tweet for instance the majority of health workers are women yet they get paid 28% less on average than men according to the World Health Organization I pause for your laughter first of all I don't want to get into the whole men getting paid more than women stuff but can we accept that only the poorly educated believe that's the thing am i right the the people who are actually more educated have looked into that question and they know that the the wage gap is explained by

[8:20]

the the wage gap is explained by experience and you know all the normal things it basically disappears when you start looking at it now if you're poorly educated you don't know that do you and there might be a few of you poorly educated people who have found your way onto this periscope by accident because because maybe you didn't know it was coming you just thought that it would be swearing you thought well I'd like to get in on all this but first of all is there any is there any quote fact in the world that has been more thoroughly debunked than the 28 percent wage gap difference between men and women it's probably the most debunked fact maybe in the whole world I don't know how that's I don't know if anything's been more debunk than that but how many people are coming over here to the to this periscope who are hearing

[9:20]

to the to this periscope who are hearing that for the very first time I'll bet a lot of you well about a lot of you are saying what that's not true everybody knows women are underpaid 28% or something like that compared to men that's just the fact because of discrimination isn't it ah not so much its effect to the poorly educated segment of the population and why I say poorly educated I don't mean that they didn't go to good schools I don't mean that they didn't necessarily go to college or even good colleges what I mean is that they're stuck in a news silo and if you were in the news silo on the Left does that look like left to you okay if you're in the new cylon the left you would be unaware that that is the most debunked a statistic in the history of statistics can you think of anything that's more debunked than that is literally the most debunked fake news of

[10:23]

literally the most debunked fake news of all time I think I don't know anything that's been more debunked than that but there are a few of you who just wandered down here and just thought for themselves I'm not sure I believe this cartoonist idiot because what science is you looking at because all the science all the science a hundred percent of it agrees was what CNN says yeah well if you only watch CNN and left-leaning news you would think that was true so
I didn't even expect that that was at the end of this tweet but I got there so I would the part I was going to make fun of is this CNN has found a way to make the coronavirus a sexist except in the wrong direction the coronavirus let me pause for a moment I feel some swearing coming
because there are some things that just can't be expressed within it am i right

[11:25]

can't be expressed within it am i right there are some things you just need some swearing here would be an example CNN saying that the corona virus is worse for women in many ways but did you know see them that it's killing men it's killing them they're dying dying dead dead that's a little bit worse than having a job during the corona virus pandemic that you love and has meaning and is helping people yeah it's risky it's very risky and believe me the entire civilization is in your debt if you're a health care worker be you male or female or whatever you want to be I'm cool with everything whatever you want to be society owes you a debt and we feel it we get it alright so not minimizing any of that and if women are the majority of that yeah they're definitely taking on a big

[12:27]

yeah they're definitely taking on a big role not minimizing that and we appreciate it immensely but the corona virus is killing men it's killing men by much larger numbers than women it's not really a woman problem it's kind of a man problem because it's killing men as opposed to giving them a good paying job with great meaning that is good for society and we have great appreciation for the people doing it
CNN could you become more ridiculous I don't think so so I put a question out this morning about hydroxychloroquine and the question I asked was are there any countries that are using it in a widespread manner giving it to people early at the first symptoms this is a key part first symptoms and not getting a good result and so I put that on the

[13:28]

a good result and so I put that on the internet and people had some suggestions but the the only one I heard that's a maybe but I think this one doesn't fit either so give do me a fact check on this will you India so my understanding the is that India is not doing well in terms of deaths you know their death rates high but that they also are a major producer of hydroxychloroquine and it is part of their regimen to give it to people early now I think these facts are true they make a lot of it they have a lot of it and that at the moment they're recommending that you give it to people early and I think it's also true that their death rate is relatively high all those things true here's what I think might not be true I think they only just started the hydroxychloroquine as a recommendation and I would I would I would imagine that I don't know what the healthcare situation is in India but probably there's a big disparity so

[14:31]

probably there's a big disparity so here's my question to you you can tell me on Twitter because I probably won't see it in the comments is the India example a clean example because I think maybe the timing isn't right you know maybe we wouldn't see it until later or are they not giving the zinc or what percentage of people are getting it at all because just because it's recommended and just because they have a lot of it doesn't mean that most people are getting it right so that part I need a fact check on so if you have a different country in which you can point to where this is the example we're looking for and let me be clear about this we're looking for our country has been widespread giving you know for a long time been giving hydroxychloroquine early at first symptoms that's the important part and also have a bad result in other words their death rate is high their their outcomes are bad so find that for me

[15:40]

find that for me now something interesting is happening with the education field now you all know everybody's y'all y'all know why did I become did i just become southern like accidentally well y'all y'all know you all know that that everybody's talking about education how will change and it's too expensive and will be more remote learning etc but here's the interesting thing I've been talking about a new model for you know creating like a special major and having it more of a barky a situation where anybody can add components to the class i've been talking about that idea for four years yes I think in public a number of times I actually at one point I had investors who were gonna put a lot of money into it and I was gonna be part of that and try to build it down several years ago but I couldn't really get traction

[16:43]

but I couldn't really get traction everybody who heard the idea would say yeah that's pretty good idea but it wasn't really connecting you know it wasn't like turning into something that anybody want to act upon but now when I put that idea out there as I did in my recent periscope there's a completely different acceptance of it and I don't know if you notice that so it's an idea that in its fullest forum is existed for three or four years and I've been talking about it in public just doesn't get any purchase and then in the last few days boom lots of interest now I've told you that the way you can identify a good idea from a bad idea is that good ideas and good content make people act with their body not just say in their mind or in their voice you know say oh that's a good idea that doesn't mean anything there are thoughts are meaningless their words are usually meaningless too because that's easy

[17:43]

because that's easy talking is easy but if somebody sits down to write a long email or message to me that's quite a commitment and a number of people did that people who were course designers people working in education and people who had some some other you know visibility on something a whole bunch of people started writing me putting their body into it you know their fingers and their minds and sitting in a chair for 45 minutes because these are these were pretty detailed messages I was getting long ones so something has changed now we've talked about Bo coronavirus will change everything bla bla bla but certainly it's changing how we think radically I would say that the way we're thinking now just about everything you know the whole ways civilization is organized we're thinking about it completely differently now and that difference is what unlocks the golden age because until we shook the box and I

[18:45]

age because until we shook the box and I guess it was the coronavirus they shook the box for us until the Box got shaken all the things that we're sort of ossified and they've been going like this forever it just it was too hard to change them all you seem like just maybe too big a deal it's there's too much tradition and inertia and heading the right the same direction colleges as colleges or colleges but man when you shake the box and suddenly you can say alright let's start from scratch if I were going to design education from scratch what would it look like and only now can that thought get some traction the thought of just starting over and just say well let's let's throw out all the assumptions just start from scratch what would it look like if you built it today with the tools that we have today instead of evolving they're from when we didn't have in the internet for example so I feel like these like guys the the

[19:48]

so I feel like these like guys the the mood is ready for some big big changes and I'm looking forward to that here's a here's one of the coolest suggestions that I've gotten this is from Benjamin cost Kos T who makes the suggestion to me on the locals platform so if you don't know over at locals comm I have a little space for subscribers in which they can send me messages more easily and I promise to read them because they're paying money to 70 messages and there's extra content that you won't see anyplace else so one of the ideas that Benjamin has I just love I love the thinking about this I don't know that it's practical you can decide for me right make up your own mind but just think of the creativity of this and that that's the thing I'm seeing people thinking everything from the ground up just look at the creativity of this so instead of paying

[20:51]

creativity of this so instead of paying people for plasma which I think you're going to see a lot of as as people have recovered are donating their blood plasma for the antibodies for other people so we already know there are gonna be all these plasma collection centers that I think that's guaranteed they'll be everywhere and here's a suggestion instead of paying people for plasma why not exchange actual health screening and healthcare for the plasma and Benjamin was noting that he's he's donated plasma a number of times I think for money and each time he donates that they screen his blood and he listed I won't list them because it's his medical situation but he listed a number of things that they found in his blood there were markers for something that he could take care of you know oh you need a little more iron I guess I could mention that one that's not too dangerous need a little more iron well he didn't know that so then he could go modify his diet or whatever get a little more iron and well

[21:54]

more iron and well while testing your blood doesn't get you to something like health care they do it anyway so apparently they're testing your blood routinely would it would it be that hard to say all right you don't have health care that you can afford but if you donate plasma on a regular basis we can use it for a variety of things maybe we're testing your DNA maybe we're doing some studies we'll do whatever we want maybe there's some empty body is you know something so you can use it for whatever you want in return you get free health care I thought to myself that idea I don't think it's fully workable but don't you love the the creativity this event because it's an existing thing so you know it already works they already do the blood screening and it's already given at least one person useful health advice could you expand on that all right

[22:54]

all right I just put that out there as the example of the kind of amazingness that is ahead of us in the Golden Age I've told you before that whenever I have a new idea not this one I'm changing topics now whenever I have a new idea I always get two responses and it always makes me laugh if you're not a creative person by nature or by trade then you haven't seen this as much as I have so you've watched me enough you know how many ideas I produce most of them are bad but there's always two responses one of them is that will never work and here's all the reasons why I can never work and almost every time the other response is somebody's already successfully doing it if you haven't seen that cycle as many times as I have it completely changes your idea of what's possible because literally everything that people say is impossible it's almost always being done

[23:55]

impossible it's almost always being done somebody's actually doing it so my ideas are not that original but I don't know it when I come up with them I just say well it seems like this would be a good idea and then you find that it's not original somebody's already doing here's the
the proofing example approximately I'm not good with time and dates but I think about 20 years ago I tried to start a company with a friend who was an engineer and I had the idea huh and he was the engineer and we're gonna build this thing the idea was a special kind of a universal remote control that if you as a homeowner have given permission to the delivery company they could program you in and they would they would be able to open your garage door just to deliver stuff to your home and then they could close your garage door now in my in my assumption there would be video cameras so that you the homeowner would be able to see exactly what happened you know they're not coming in your garage and stealing your lawnmower

[24:55]

garage and stealing your lawnmower leaving because your video camera is on all the time this is grudge door opens so it was a system that would allow that now 20 years goes by and of course everybody I told that idea said it won't work literally everybody I told that idea to said no Scott privacy security privacy no way people are going to let you open their garage door when they're not hauled I see people saying that ring does that which is probably true but I just noticed that Amazon doesn't it's a program called key so I have a certain kind of garage door opener that allows me to control it by Wi-Fi or through the internet specifically and my garage door opener I just noticed on the app says it works with Amazon so I can actually tie it to Amazon and have Amazon not with a special remote but presumably with an

[25:56]

special remote but presumably with an app open my garage door so somebody says the Amazon bought ringed oh did they did Amazon buy ring well anyway my point is it's another example of something that everybody told me couldn't possibly work except it's already a product and the biggest company in the world is producing it here's another good thing coming Robert Scoble is writing about this the internet wrote a blog and he says the Apple is working on lidar glasses lidar is like a different technology than radar lidar uses light so it shoots light and stuff I don't know if it produces a visible light probably not I think it's probably non visible light I don't know too much about it but it shoots light to things and then it it measures the reflection or something and it can determine distance so the idea is

[26:57]

it can determine distance so the idea is that instead of having your glasses understand everything about your environment the lidar would allow it to look for QR codes and if your store had enough QR codes on your products on your shelf you could walk into a store with your glasses on and have very low power requirements because it's not doing much it's just doing lidar the lidar can reach out it could ping the QR codes and basically draw a map of the of the room while you're walking through it and it could it could produce potentially it could produce enhanced reality stuff so things would appear in your glasses to give you more information about the product as you looked at it now in theory says Robert Scoble you could get to the point where everything is touchless you could just walk into a store you could simply look at look at a

[27:57]

store you could simply look at look at a product it's information would pop up and you can say some version of buy it for me and you wouldn't have to take it off the shelf maybe you can see a video and your new glasses of it working you know instead of picking up the box maybe you never have to touch it the video plays in your glasses you say buy it and you walk out that's it maybe it even gets shipped to your house perhaps you've never touched it even once also I'm sure that point-of-sale buying you know will probably have something to do these glasses as well so con shopping seems like it's coming it's coming here's something that I just realized today you know my book had a failed almost everything and still win big and I introduced the ideas of systems better than goals and talent stacks and managing your energy and stuff like that I just realized that those ideas have now been in three

[28:58]

those ideas have now been in three different best-selling books one of them was mine but now two other books that are also bestsellers are talking about them prominently giving me credit which it which is great of course but they give me credit but it's now with three best-selling books and and it's fairly important parts of three best-selling books and you know I've always said I always said that years ago when Dilbert started working out I always had this feeling that Dilber would not be how I was remembered I didn't know what I'd be remembered for if anything but I didn't think it would be Dilbert I feel like Dilbert will end about the same time I stopped drawing it but the idea of the talents tact and systems over goals and managing your energy not your time appear to be really really sticky like really really sticky more than I had even hoped for so the people that are

[30:04]

even hoped for so the people that are mentioning mentioned me specifically so atomic habits for example I learned that I haven't read the book but I understand that he mentions systems better than goals and mentions me as as creator of that and also tools for Titans Tim Ferriss book which is a compilation of a lot of other people's suggestions and ideas but I wonder how many other best-selling books that's going to be in as as just a reference alright
I promised you some swearing this would be the place that that happens but first has that you want to identified the mass graves for all the people who died from their lupus and malaria of medications because they must exist right because we've been told the hydroxychloroquine

[31:05]

we've been told the hydroxychloroquine especially if he's used recklessly and not under doctor's orders can have a deadly deadly consequences and side effects and given the millions of millions of millions and millions of people who have been using it for lupus and malaria and still do I would assume there are mass graves are they hiding them where are they hiding those mass graves oh that's right it's all there are no mass graves no that's always something that the poorly educated believe in speaking of the poorly educated I got a tweet today a few tweets from a gentleman named David knee worked any iw ERT David knee work he lists himself as the following he's an author of a book called alt America the rise of the radical right in the age of Trump he's

[32:05]

radical right in the age of Trump he's also a staff writer had bender is for the Daily Kos and a contributor to the SPLC Center yes the Southern Poverty Law Center so that's that's who he is he's written books about the alt-right being bad and he works for Daily Kos and the SPLC and so he tweeted at me so apparently he singled me out for this tweet and he tweets that be the story of the president I'm golfing and there was something about him taking hydroxychloroquine and this fine gentleman David knew Bert tweets this at me he says hoping that all the Trump gorging themselves on this stuff beating hydroxychloroquine feel better now that they know they've been conned by the con artist meaning Trump but they'll keep on rationalizing it hysterically like at

[33:07]

rationalizing it hysterically like at Scott Evans says now I ask you this have you most of you have been watching me for a while and I've talked a lot about hydroxychloroquine would you say that this is an accurate statement of what I've been doing rationalizing it hysterically does that sound like an accurate description of what I've been doing because what I've been doing is telling you that there's no book no more than a thirty 40 percent chance that it works at all I've been telling you that there are zero reliable studies is that does that sound like hysterically rationalizing it's when I say often and clearly there are no credible studies to support that it works and indeed if I had to bet I would bet against it does that sound irrational now because I understand the concept of risk

[34:07]

understand the concept of risk management no no I'm not a doctor is that what you heard did you hear me say that I was a medical professional let me say it again I understand risk management if that came into your head as he thinks he's a scientist maybe there's something wrong with your head if that came into your head as oh he's a doctor now cartoonist thinks he's a doctor well maybe the problem happens somewhere in the skull area of your brain because it's not anything I ever said I've said if you're working with your doctor and you think maybe hydroxychloroquine works we don't know there's some anecdotal evidence you think there might be a 10% chance that makes the difference but the odds of it killing you are very very very very low maybe you plus your doctor and your specific situation might say that the risk man mint decision could go the way that the

[35:08]

mint decision could go the way that the doctor and his the way the president his physician went they could be right they could be wrong yeah and of course there's the question of whether the zinc is it is part of the question or not so so there's somebody who thinks that I specifically have been rationalizing and hysterically here's how I interpret that apparently I'm saying things that don't agree with him that he doesn't like it he doesn't know what to do about it and so I I sort of accused him of being in the in the portal II educated segment of the population didn't like that he didn't like being called poorly educated because I tried to try to help him a little bit and he suggested that maybe I should look to the World Health Organization because it has quote more credibility than your sources meaning

[36:11]

credibility than your sources meaning you're being me so this is somebody who is was smart enough to write a book I mean you have to be pretty smart to write a book that gets published right but he's clearly in the poorly educated segment because his news has failed him and he actually thought that that sending this tweet in public would not embarrass him to think about this what kind of news is he watching that he thinks this tweet would not embarrass him
him he says the the World Health Organization has more credibility than my sources know the World Health Organization does not have more credibility than my sources and my sources are nothing nothing and the World Health Organization has less credibility than my sources which are

[37:12]

credibility than my sources which are nothing nothing
I not the first public figure who probably that you heard saying that we should get a closed travel with China way before the World Health Organization did who was right who was right who was right me me when the World Health Organization and the Surgeon General and every expert on earth told you that masks were bad for you who was probably the first public figure who said I would like to say that every health official in the world is full of because that's the dumbest thing I ever heard obviously masks work you don't have to be a expert to know that it stops the droplets it obviously works who was right was it the cartoonist or was it the World Health Organization it was the cartoonist

[38:12]

Organization it was the cartoonist it was the cartoonist does that make me a medical expert no it makes me knowing absolutely nothing about medical stuff and still far superior to the World Health Organization on this topic there's no questioning that these are public facts they are public facts was I the person who said that maybe the corona virus does not spread from person to person as Luhan was being closed down that's right as Wuhan was being closed down the World Health Organization was saying maybe it doesn't spread from person to person I didn't say that so I think I'm ahead of them on that so I don't know how you could come up to the how could you say in in public that the World Health Organization has more

[39:14]

the World Health Organization has more credibility than my sources which are zero because all the evidence suggests the opposite unless you're in the poorly educated group that doesn't watch all the news
so I responded with this tweet no you dumb I don't get my medical advice from politicians I also don't trust the World Health Organization which as I have pointed out has no credibility I do look at doctors and my view is consistent with them it is your views are not on a risk management level so here is a guy who doesn't even know that his opinions on this stuff are not compatible with doctors he doesn't know that this is like the most the most talked about topic in the news for three months and he's so uninformed he thinks that he should say these things to me in public and that they would make sense I

[40:14]

public and that they would make sense I just tweeted just before I got on here an article that you really have to read now I don't like to recommend so strongly that you read long-form articles unless they're really good okay so trust me on this there was a whole bunch of very credentialed doctors and scientists in Brazil who wrote a long sort of an open letter if you will in which they asked this question who gets to speak for science it's a really good question right because all of these experts are saying well we're all experts were all medical doctors we're all scientists and we collectively the people who signed this letter think that the hydroxychloroquine if it's given the right way not the wrong way which is the way it's been studied where they overdosed the patients with deadly amounts when they're near death anyway

[41:14]

amounts when they're near death anyway not that way how about Scott is not a doctor but even I would have not given incredibly high doses of a drug that hadn't even been tested to people near death and and expect that it's not going to have some bad outcomes even I wouldn't do that I'm not a doctor so this large list of doctors in Brazil are saying to stop saying that science says hydroxychloroquine is a bad idea stop saying it because we are science and we're not saying it we're not saying it works so let me say this clearly because David Nuart who was obviously a racist because he's a he contributes to the SPLC Center I don't know if you could be a contributor without being a racist is that even possible because most of the SPLC stuff is just just racist nonsense so I'm

[42:16]

is just just racist nonsense so I'm assuming he's a racist just because of this association but I assume he assumes that about me so and by the way I assume it just for fun because who knows what's in other people's heads but the Association I mean come on if you're associating with the racist illegitimate group don't expect me not to think you're that you're one of them so this is a really good question when you when anybody such as David the dumb says that the I or anyone else is not compatible with science what does that exactly mean and as the letter points out even saying that there's a misunderstanding of what the science is because the moment you say science says something it's like you've also signaled that you don't understand what science is it's a lot of people disagreeing and testing and crawling toward the truth

[43:17]

testing and crawling toward the truth it's not one opinion science is not an opinion it's a lot of different people doing a lot of different stuff alright and so so this was my first test you might you might ask yourself why did I not simply block David knew worked and the reason I didn't block him is that I wanted to well had several purposes one is that I wanted to test the poorly educated kill because it's I think it's got a lot of power because calling people poorly educated when they think they're the educated ones I mean that's how they come into the conversation are the educated one let me school the ignorant savages on the other side when they come into it and you call them poorly educated and then you back it up you're poorly educated here's the fact you don't know you're poorly educated here's

[44:19]

don't know you're poorly educated here's another fact you don't know you're poorly educated - have you noticed I know all the facts that you know but you don't know all the facts that I know what does that make you poorly educated poorly educated now your college might have been fine but you're obviously watching bad news sources so or incomplete let's say incomplete so I wanted to test that kill shot but also I think it's instructive as a warning to others it's a warning to others so doing it publicly instead of just blocking them so I don't have to deal with them yeah it sort of puts it's like putting a head on a post you know it's like maybe you don't want to come into this you know maybe you don't want to trespass on this property because this property has a severed head on a post if you see the severed head of the post you might think I don't want to go into that property so part of it is a you know a warning to others but did you

[45:21]

you know a warning to others but did you notice if you look at the exchange and something you might go back and look at it if you haven't seen it I made a claim a while ago that if somebody misinterprets you on social media or anywhere else if they misinterpret you and then they criticize their own misinterpretation what I used to think would work is correcting their impression of my opinion but over 63 years of life I finally have to give up and say that has never worked once not once not one single time has somebody ever misinterpreted my opinion criticized the misinterpretation and then when I came and said oh that's not my opinion this is actually my opinion not once in my whole life is anyone then said oh okay I guess I read that wrong doesn't happen what do they do they change to another misperception of your idea or it

[46:23]

another misperception of your idea or it gets even worse they accuse you of not knowing your own opinion and say that they know your opinion better than you know your opinion because they they misread something once he just goes crazy so you can see it in this one where I I corrected him so first of all he didn't know that I'm not alright I'm left to Bernie so his first starting assumption is wrong he didn't know that my public assumption on hydroxyl Clark Clark queen is that it probably doesn't work I've said that many times in public he doesn't know that I've said there are zero studies that are credible wouldn't it be great if we had some there's some anecdotal stuff and maybe the risk management says that give it a try but I don't think I could be more perfectly perfectly compatible with the doctors my opinion is somebody says Flynn was not

[47:25]

opinion is somebody says Flynn was not unmasked your writers are crazy I don't know if that let me just change the topic there because that diverted me are the people on the right crazy because they found out that oh I actually maybe that was sarcasm nevermind I was gonna criticize it but I just realized it was sarcasm
yeah Flynn was spied on the details don't really matter that much do they all right sorry it took me to a minute to catch up to the fact that that was sarcasm somebody says we're trying to ignore the left of Bernie part let let me let me give you all a compliment if I may and this is a sincere compliment it's also a sincere appreciation of you I am completely aware that at least 90% of my main audience doesn't agree with me on some of the most basic things but I totally respect

[48:29]

most basic things but I totally respect and appreciate the fact that you let me do this the fact that you let me give my reasons you know you let me live my you know my version of what I think is right I don't have to hide it from you and I say this about the right all the time the right is way more open-minded than the left it's not even close and you know the common view is the opposite and the thing that people get wrong is that for the right you just have to hit the basic basis do you love your Constitution yes yes hundred percent give me some constitution we're all wait we got to play by the same rules do you like the rule of law yes yes I mean lots of mistakes and flaws but it's a pretty good system yes of course of course I like it do I respect all of your opinions yes totally even the ones

[49:33]

your opinions yes totally even the ones I disagree with completely respect them now if I like your constitution and I respect your opinions and the rule of law and and I'm big on being an American what do conservatives say about me I I can tell you that I don't believe in God which I tell you all the time but as long as I have full respect for your belief system which I do I think religion is far more positive than negative it's like any tool you can misuse it but used properly it's an amazing thing and helps people in their life I'm all for it but do you judge me do you judge me for not being a believer not really I mean if you're doing it privately it's just in your own mind I've had zero people just think about this think about think about if I were to go over to the left and say anything out of the ordinary anything that wasn't their belief I would be canceled about like a hot second for just having

[50:35]

about like a hot second for just having a different opinion on the left but I could go over the right and say the most basic disagreeing that you could ever think of which as you know I don't believe in God does anybody care no because Constitution because freedom because freedom of speech freedom of thought as long as I'm respectful boom you're fine right as long as I respect you it just comes back it's that simple so that that's something that the left completely misses about the right is how phenomenally open-minded they are as long as you hit the basis if you don't hit the basis you got a big trouble right like you I could be I could be anti-gun I'm not but I could be and you'd still watch this as long as I showed my work as long as I respected your opinion and as long as we both

[51:36]

your opinion and as long as we both agreed that the Constitution says that you can have a gun right I think everybody would be ok with that as long as I as long as I was you know not trying to fool you or a con you were and it was just my opinion you'd be fine with that so and this is so not true on the Left I mean it's not even a little bit true so it's weird that I could find more of a home over a year because you're more open-minded so that's a compliment to you I think you deserve it and I'm going to end here on that positive thought I saw that there are 10 vaccines being tested 10 vaccines being tested yeah somebody's talking about my abortion stance which is basically that I should stay out of it yeah I think you even respect that somebody says the Pope ad is disrespectful now you know I think

[52:38]

ad is disrespectful now you know I think you have to look at the intention there's no such thing as a disrespectful hat
hat all right I hacked can't be disrespectful it's all about what I mean when I put it on when I put it on it's just for fun it's not disrespecting anybody yeah I would not want you to take it that way all right that's that's it for now and I will talk to you in the morning you know where
