hey everybody come on in it's time for coffee with Scott Adams it's one of the best times of the day no correction correction it's the best time of the day that's how it is and all you need to enjoy the best time of the day is a cup or a mug your glass attacker chelators dying in a canteen jugger flask a vessel of any kind hey Bill join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine here the day the thing makes everything better including the pandemic including the protests including police brutality wherever it occurs join me now go yep yep temperatures going down golden ages here so in case you missed it the Golden Age started yesterday what do I mean the Golden Age started yesterday the economy's in the toilet and the

[1:19]

economy's in the toilet and the protesters are protesting record numbers against the injustice of the police well here's how I see it the economy is on the way up it is economy's the economy is gonna be turning around no doubt about it we don't know how fast etc but it's definitely gonna go up from this point on it probably will go to new highs and we probably uncovered a whole bunch of problems with civilization that now can be fixed because they had to get broken and we had to see all their flaws under stress which we did and now we can go fix it everything from the police to how we handled pandemics our medical system our education system commuting you name it if we had not taking the box of civilization and shaking it so hard there would not be as

[2:20]

shaking it so hard there would not be as many economic opportunities as there will be because we just made everything in play suddenly we went from well there were a lot of industries that were sort of sleepy and not doing much but now everything's in play you could be an entrepreneur and pretty much any realm and you saw the problems you saw the flaws you know exactly what to work on that means the effects so the economy is not just it's not just going to improve it's going to improve and be a whole new machine it's a brand new car it's not fixing the spark plugs on your old car that's where we've been for I know 20 years for 20 years I would say we've done nothing but change the oil and rotate the tires well we're gonna have a brand new car and so the economy I'd completely buy into the president's framing of this that what's happening is

[3:25]

framing of this that what's happening is something amazing or we're at the cusp of economic growth the like of likes of which we've never seen I think that's true so that's good the protests I believe have now almost completely changed from unruly and full of crime and anarchists to something last night assuming the coverage is giving me the real story and that's the big f but it looks like the protests have turned into a love fest a love fest in the sense that nobody disagrees nobody disagrees that that George Floyd situation looked bad bad bad nobody disagrees nobody disagrees that some change would be good nobody's a squeeze it looks like the protesters and the police were completely on the same side on the question of do you walk looters and anarchists ruining your

[4:26]

looters and anarchists ruining your message nope don't want any airman anarchists and looters ruining the message same page so weirdly literally everyone except a tiny tiny number of you know looters I suppose anarchists were on the same side last night did you see anybody report that the whole country came together last night nope nope that's what happened last night last night everybody in the country agreed that's the biggest story in the world it's never happened before last night everybody in the country agreed let's do something about police procedures let's make something better we're all agreeing now some of the details right disagree on the details

[5:27]

details right disagree on the details but I don't know if that's not the Golden Age what is if the only people who disagree with you are looters because they want extra Footwear you're in a pretty good place pretty good place you saw the the military agree with the protesters you saw the police agree with the protesters and March with them you saw protesters helping the police you know take the the brick throwers out of the game you saw the entire country come together and it was reported as the opposite what is the big problem in the world it's the news it is it's the news I was going to do a whiteboard presentation on that but I'm gonna give it to you without the whiteboard and it goes like this here's the system you live in your news organizations present a frame frame of how to see things when

[6:30]

a frame frame of how to see things when the frame is presented people just inhabit the frame as if that's the way to look at it the frame that the news has put on things is that it's a race problem once you have that frame people just inhabit it some say no it's not some say yes it is no it's not yes it is no it's not you did things no I didn't you did things no I didn't so the frame that's given to you by the news is meant to be divisive if it's not divisive it doesn't generate more news so the news business has learned the framing things divisive lis generates more division which generates more news which generates more profits now here's the that part you knew all that part here's the part I'm going to add that you probably did not know and it's gonna blow your frickin head right

[7:31]

it's gonna blow your frickin head right off
off are you ready this one are you gonna be thinking about probably four weeks and it goes like this if I can frame something first and you accept the framing remember the framing is not not your opinion the framing is simply how you enter the conversation like who's on what side your opinion is separate from that but it's an overlay of the frame that somebody has given you if somebody frames it first you will think your opinion is real did you get that if somebody else's frames the topic you will form an opinion and you'll think that you came up with the opinion and you didn't that's the big illusion of life the way the news industry hypnotizes brainwashes manipulates whatever word you want to put on it the

[8:32]

whatever word you want to put on it the masses is by the framing so by framing this issue as a race issue it guarantees division division guarantees more news more news guarantees more clicks more profits so they've suckered you into a frame that makes you think you have an but you didn't it's actually an illusion of an opinion because your opinion just went to whichever part of the frame you thought you fit the best they made your opinion for you and gave you the impression you made it yourself now that fact is very difficult to accept as your worldview but you will because it's also so sticky then once you hear it you just have to hear it the first time that the frame gives you the delusion of forming an opinion but that didn't happen it

[9:33]

an opinion but that didn't happen it didn't happen all you did is pick the part of the frame you were closest to if somebody had picked a different frame the thing you thought your opinion would look different once you realize that you realize what the game is and you can see behind the curtain you want to get red pills a little bit harder here it comes let that last one set a little a little bit because this next one's gonna just knock you off your chair the only way that the elites can stay in power is by making you think we're racially and gender divided mostly racially the only way the elites can stay in power is making you think we're racially divided do you know why because if people realized that poor people let's just say it low-income people so there's more of them in the group so low-income people if if low-income people realized that

[10:34]

if if low-income people realized that they had more in common with each other regardless of anything else regardless of religion regardless of ethnicity regardless of gender gender sort of special so let's leave that out at the moment so let's just say regardless of ethnicity all people of low income have a lot in common in terms of their situation now one of the things that black people don't know because they've been poorly informed by white people is that being a poor white person is really shitty deal if you don't believe me ask any poor white person how it's going it's a really shitty deal it's a really shitty deal and if the people who have really shitty deals could simply understand they're on the same team they would have all the power in this country because there are a lot of them and we have a system that allows the majority to rule if they're smart enough to know they're on the same team but they're not

[11:36]

they're on the same team but they're not yeah I shouldn't say smart enough because that's the wrong word they are smart enough but they've bought into a frame the frame of racism forces you to it's a it's a hip let's say it's a magician's trick it's misdirection as long as you're looking over here Oh racial race race race it's a race thing race is holding us down yet spread US citizen it's racism as long as you're looking over there you can't see the obvious which is the rich people can only stay in power they can only keep their money if you're fighting about race because otherwise you would get together and there's too many of you
roll that around if you had for a little while so if that doesn't wake you up I don't know what will you want more no I think you can handle it you can handle it
it your savour we're going deep today I'm

[12:41]

your savour we're going deep today I'm going to show you one of the ways in which you have been let's say fooled it goes like this people get primed by patterns that they see and if they see a pattern often enough they assume that the next thing they say is likely that same thing even if it's not so patterns are a necessary part of your brain in fact I say it's the primary part of your brain we're mostly pattern recognition machines but we're not very good at it we're bad at pattern recognition but it's also the only way we think we say well it looked like this before I don't see reasons I don't see the logic for it but this always happens when this always happens so I'll just say that usually they usually come together so that's how fuzzy and irrational our thinking is for most things most of the time most things we have this fuzzy pattern-recognition thing going on but it's a trap

[13:42]

thing going on but it's a trap because while you have to use pattern recognition to get through life it can fool you into thinking the wrong things here's an example you are primed by movies one of our most powerful cultural elements I guess is watching TV in movies etc so you're used to watching the screen in which a story is presented and in the story that's presented in the in the fictional movie TV world everything you see on the screen is important and nothing that you don't see is important meaning that the director and the writer have guaranteed that what you're looking at is complete so you spend your whole life looking at movies and TV shows in which in every case the pattern is this the stuff you see on the screen is all that you need to know there's nothing else if there was anything else you needed to know the director would have put it there so

[14:44]

director would have put it there so you'd understand the story real life is completely different in real life there may be somebody behind the car that is not seen on the video in a movie that would never happen no director would put something behind an object so that the people in the audience can see it what would be the point there would be no point of that so you are primed that what you see on the screen is the whole story there's nothing else you're looking at it and then you're exposed to real life let's say somebody's phone video and it doesn't need to be about anybody in particular you you could make it about the the recent case about George Floyd but it's a general statement that a video phone doesn't show you what's behind the car because you're not a director and a writer there just might be something behind the car and the case when you saw the first video of George Floyd you couldn't tell that behind the

[15:46]

Floyd you couldn't tell that behind the car were the two other officers who were also involved holding down the suspect now that changed your story a little bit when you learned that it's like oh okay well that adds a question because it looked like he was the one officer when he only saw one it was obvious he was killing him kind of obvious it'll look like murder to you but then you learned there were two other policemen on the other part of George Floyd's body but that's not on the video at least the first video we saw it later and then you say okay I got to incorporate this new information but once you've already decided any new information that comes after you've already decided just becomes confirmation bias and you simply interpret it according to your original thought so by seeing the original video without any explainers people solidified an opinion based on almost no information and I think that this pattern recognition thing is part of the

[16:48]

pattern recognition thing is part of the problem it's not the whole problem right it's just part of the problem that's interesting that you assume that what you saw is complete enough to have a complete opinion and it's not even close it's not even in the ballpark of being enough it's far closer to being completely misleading than it is to being complete and I think that we take this pattern of oil must be all there I can see it with my own eyes I hear with my own ears you know it's got to be that's got to be all I know so I think that that makes us susceptible to being fooled as well so we've got that going on all right I'll talk a little bit more about this but we've got some other things happening I like to call out when the anti-trump people are doing something that's funny all right so just so I don't always say that the funny thing is on the pro-trump

[17:50]

that the funny thing is on the pro-trump side but I have to say that the pro-trump people do seem funnier as a professional humorist it is my impression that the approach on people just have a better sense of humor about this stuff but I think that could be biased I don't know but I saw some signs that people were somebody anti-trump pers will holding up I think somewhere near the White House and the side of those two sides that went together one said racist president go back to your bunker okay that wasn't the funny part and then the big side was bunker so they're calling it calling the president a bunker and then the president hit White House is well you have to admit that she was funny bunker this is funny as basement Biden you know I think that's funny if baseman Biden is funny you have to sort of accept that bunker is sort of a funny funny side but here's the

[18:51]

of a funny funny side but here's the other one so the White House is putting up I guess an extra or maybe a new security fence around the White House to protect the president so what's trending today is did is Mexico paying for the wall around the White House now you could be pro Trump but that's just funny that's pretty funny you have to have been somebody's asking me about jimmy dore so let me answer that just since I saw the question so Jimmy Dore was he tweeted and some nonsense happening I guess he was questioning so I I had a tweet which I I said that if you're an Tifa you might might not want to bring your phone to meetings and Jimmy Dore says oh you know he had asked me several questions but the first one of the several was you know where are these anti fob meetings in other words he was he was questioning the

[19:54]

words he was he was questioning the anti-shah has meetings rather than you know I guess rather than a dispersed organization so the first thing I did was look for his profile and check his biography do you know why because the nature of the question suggested that he had not been exposed to a number of fields and that his talent stack was a little light and so I looked at his biography and his talent stack is really light it's really light in other words his experience seems to be in the entertainment realm and I didn't see anything else you know in other words he didn't used to work as a engineer or he didn't used to work as a I don't con amidst or something so he doesn't have experience and as far as I can tell from his biography he doesn't have experience in either technology or system development economics engineering or anything like that so unfortunately in

[20:58]

anything like that so unfortunately in order to answer his question honestly well where are these antiphon meetings I had to look at his profile and call it out that I understand why he is confused he doesn't have any background in in tech development now I have a ton of background in development projects from probably 30 years of experience being directly part of some development team of a website or an app or some technology thing both in my prior corporate life and in my current life and so there are some assumptions I make about what other people know that or sometimes unfair because they don't have the same same experience so what I talked about meetings in the context of the let's say the government tracking your phone your location I meant any meeting if you walk over to one other person say hey Bob I was anti-fog going that would be a meeting of two phones and the point is

[21:59]

meeting of two phones and the point is any time those two phones were in any kind of a cluster and you knew that at least one person in the cluster was definitely empty fob and he was traveling in another little cluster well you know sooner or later you could piece together enough clues that you could definitely tell who empty file was simply by where phones have been so I have to explain that to Jimmy Dore because it's not obvious if you have a very light telling stack you can't really fill in the rest of the details just with your own experience somebody has explained it to you so I explained it to him that probably all the empty five been tagged and tracked by now and it probably is a factor and why there were fewer of the bad actors in last night's protests because I think the government is so far up anti files ass at this point that anybody who showed up would either have to leave their phone home and who can do that what 20 year old can leave their phone

[23:00]

what 20 year old can leave their phone off or leave it home when they're going to be out all night almost none I don't care if you're an tyfa or not anti file if you're in your 20s you just can't really leave your phone home all right or leave it off so I don't think it happened much and it doesn't of course happen and then Jack passive ik weighed in with a comment saying that one of the ways that anta file used to try to fool fool people who might be tracking their phones is that they would I think they would I may have this backwards but I think they would turn them off as they were traveling to someplace and then turned them on or something but anyway there was something about the pattern of when they turned them off and when they turned them back on that also gave them away so in other words their their method of hiding turned into a method of identifying them so the point is yes if

[24:02]

identifying them so the point is yes if the government had the will to do it we don't know that we don't know what they choose to do but they certainly have all the technology that by now they know every member of an tyfa because between the social media traffic and the location traffic if you see a bunch of anti files standing there and you can check their phone locations you're gonna see like ten of them together you're gonna know all right so that's the Jimmy Dore story see and then this is what it looks it looks like there's another news blackout on any bad stuff that's happening or that the protests are mostly peaceful last night so it's being reported as mostly peaceful by the mainstream news at the same time the non mainstream news let's call them the individuals with phones are reporting that there were pipe bombs bite bombs now I don't know if I've seen

[25:03]

bite bombs now I don't know if I've seen that report in the mainstream news do you but I know Jack pasaba k-- mentioned it and then I think Jack Murphy mentioned he heard explosions which sounded like they could have been those bombs now think about that reporting and then compare it to the mainstream news the mainstream news is not even talking about the question of whether or not there were pipe bombs or even if there was a rumor that there were that was disproven not even as a debunk thing oh somebody says they saw yesterday did you see it in the mainstream news looking at your because I could be under informed here that's entirely possible
hmm okay so I could be wrong about that but it seems like the mainstream news is not covering it seems like they've decided to lower the temperature which they can by the way they report it so C

[26:04]

they can by the way they report it so C and C then has become apologist for Anti Fog to the point of being hilarious and yeah there was an ATM that exploded I don't know what kind of bomb that was somebody is reminding me so here are some of the things that CNN is saying to excuse an tyfa and if you look for it you can have a good laugh all right and they say these things with these are these are written things that read but figuratively speaking they say it with a straight face and you read it you go this could easily be the onion this this could so easily be in the onion and they wouldn't even have to change anything all right here it is
first of all the CNN says an tyfa was not any part of organising anything but one wonders where did all the bricks come from and how did all those anti-shah know to show up at the same place wearing the same outfits it's obviously there's some coordination

[27:06]

it's obviously there's some coordination I don't know how much coordination but it's pretty obvious there's some coordination at least among the anti-shah and there's no question there there we see them on the video they dress distinctively so you know who they are they dress so you know who they are and there they are shirt off and the CNN is acting almost like they're just they don't exist you're so that what not not quite there downplaying it but listen to this next part here's the fun part so they say that Trump keeps talking about antifa but then CNM goes this is an actual quote federal law enforcement officials pointed to groups including anarchists white supremacists and far-left extremists and I'm thinking to myself what does it mean to point to groups they pointed to groups okay so if federal and law enforcement officials pointed to groups does that mean that

[28:08]

pointed to groups does that mean that they've identified that these groups are definitely part of the action no it doesn't mean that it means they pointed to them does it mean that it was mostly in Turkish but only a few people in antiphon well no it's silent on the numbers is just pointing to them was there maybe three anarchists in the entire operation don't know but we do know that the federal law enforcement and officials pointed at them so they've all been pointed at notice how ambiguous pointed that is pointed at pointed that does mean guessing yes somebody in the comments is saying pointed at equals guessing that's exactly what that was they pointed out and when when you wanted to see and was something in the list is white supremacist so I thought to myself well by now they've obviously found a white supremacist so I click through the article to read about the

[29:10]

through the article to read about the white supremacist that they've caught red-handed organizing something do you think that there's actually a story about a white supremacist that they caught organizing something nope no no there's no photograph there's no text that somebody sent there's no social media call for the white supremacist nothing there's nothing there the closest they get is the accusation that there are some far-right people involved who also coincidentally and unrelated to what these far-right people who have not been identified and have no pictures and have no no verifying information but allegedly exist were associated with white supremacy in other words not even necessarily white supremacists in other words simply people on the right because do you know who else is associated with

[30:10]

do you know who else is associated with white supremacist according to CNN you you if so most of the people watching this are Trump supporters just historically speaking probably 90% are Trump supporters would it not be an accurate statement by CNN standards by CNN standards would it not be accurate to say that every one of you is quote associated with white supremacy yeah yeah me too associated with meaning that I've talked I've said good things about the President of the United States the President of the United States they say praises white supremacists so would that make me by CNN standards associated with white supremacists yes yes it would how'd that happen there's nobody you know I dislike white supremacists you know a 10 and a 10 but

[31:13]

supremacists you know a 10 and a 10 but I also don't think they exist in the sense that never met one never seen one on TV in the last 20 years or so right I think they used to exist but I don't think anybody has this supremacist part there are plenty of racists of course racists are common but the supremacist part that went away a long time ago yeah it's mostly the opposite of that in terms of how they think about themselves so so then I click through and I'm reading about this and they made a distinction between anti-shah and anarchists so they said well you got your anti far but then separately you got your anarchist uh-huh uh-huh is that what's happening are the anarchists do they have their own little group and they're not part of an T file which yanti far are you looking at

[32:14]

yanti far are you looking at because the empty file I'm looking at our anarchist but they've decided that they're separate groups so that they can make an T for smaller smaller impact but here's here's even funnier part they they called the far-left extremists would you say that the far-left extremists are Anti Fog or are they a separate group and anti faso fur here I don't know what anti fie you're looking at but I think they're far left extremists and anarchists so see you then has broken them into like three separate groups so that they all seem small what's that sound like what is that sound like yeah it's the same trick that they're doing with the framing a framing race as the main major frame if they can give you the frame then they've given you your opinion if they allow you to

[33:16]

you your opinion if they allow you to frame it this way that there are all these separate individual groups and they're all really tiny then there's no anti foul if you accept the frame you think they've given you an opinion and you think you made up your own opinion and it didn't happen it just didn't happen they gave you an opinion and you thought it was your own that's how framing works so this is really clever I gotta say it's clever I can't take that away from general mattis turns out he's an idiot I
used to have such a respect for general mattis and that he got fired and I thought oh this is gonna be bad as soon as you get fired everything turned good on the battleground it did you know am I right about that I may have you know false memories of this because I'm just going by memory but it seemed to me that the turning point when the United States made gains and finally could get an of

[34:18]

made gains and finally could get an of the middle east and start withdrawing forces wasn't the positive turning point when when Trump fired mattis I'm not imagining that right so I think mattis doesn't like the president that we know that and he is very much against the president bringing in the military for these protesters now here's the thing that makes Madison an idiot do you think that the president wanted anybody in the military to actually shoot anybody I don't think so I think the president really really didn't want anybody to get shot like really really didn't want anybody to get shot or hurt do you know a massive military presence with full camo helmets and whatever firepower they had I don't know what kind of weapons the the soldiers had but you know they had the

[35:18]

soldiers had but you know they had the big ones we're not talking about the the sidearm that's holstered and the mace the military was the military they came in with full you know full armor you know strapped with weapons of every kind now if you're a looter and you see any one of those guys in anywhere in the area right yet let's say there are 20 of you 20 looters normally 20 would be enough right you would overwhelm police if 20 looters came to a store and they looked over and and looking at them was one trained military person full camo with a long rifle that may be the wrong term but you know some kind of a military rifle you strapped with mo military vest trained to kill somebody's saying m4 and somebody saying I'm 16 so we don't know now you're a looter and

[36:20]

we don't know now you're a looter and you've got 20 of them you have the numbers but you look over and you see that guy and he's got his gun and he goes or whatever you do with it but who knows whatever you do with you know take the safety off whatever he does just clicks it off and then turns to that your group of 20 what do they do what do they do do they rob the store no I think they leave I think they leave really quickly and nobody gets hurt if they had gone in somebody probably would get hurt because looting sort of a you know dangerous thing there's broken glass there's people you know fighting with each other over the goods they're stealing theirs who knows what happens with vigilantes when you leave it's a really dangerous situation to let them loot but what is a lot less dangerous is a fully trained and military person aiming a serious killing machine at your group of 20 and saying whatever

[37:22]

group of 20 and saying whatever you know whatever do what you need to do but something's gonna happen and then they just leave so the thing that mattes I don't think understood I don't think anybody in the news quite understands is that the whole point of the military was a massive show of force that you didn't have to use Trump says this directly I mean the whole point of building up the military is that he doesn't have to use it
it that's expressly what he says it's the same play we're gonna send in massive military force for the express purpose of not using it that's the reason you do it and and even if the military had killed somebody I think it was very unlikely that was going to happen frankly but if the unlikely thing happened in military killed a person it would still be way less death than if it hadn't happened because if they don't have that presence which in this hypothetical would cause let's say one person to get killed that wouldn't have

[38:24]

person to get killed that wouldn't have otherwise they probably saved 15 lives just by being there because things were developing you know that you know that the the vigilantes were about two days away right if you're being honest vigilantism was about two days away there was going to be somebody with a powerful weapon who was going to start taking people out could have been a shopkeeper it could have been anybody I don't know but it was going to happen so I think the president's use of military was a hundred percent right with a risk right it came with a risk and people like maddest just talked about the risk part they don't talk about the benefits if you're only talking about the risk and you're not talking about what benefits they gave which it it looks like the military calmed it down right away I think the military presence just thing I think so was the primary

[39:24]

thing I think so was the primary variable that got us from massive looting to well looks more like a protest now I think it worked I think the president will never get credit for that I think it was a percent successful all right now there's so much news today it's very new Z time things are getting really busy over the summer alright let's see oh the the other the other category that CNN creates as if this is its own category is an anti-government group so you got your anti file you got your hand requests and you've got your anti-government group they're all the same they're all the same people not CNN three different groups all right would you like to know how to unhypnotize the

[40:25]

you like to know how to unhypnotize the hypnotized masses now the hypnotized masses have been hypnotized by the framing of the media so the media said we get a big racism problem but you look at the statistics and what you see when you look for the big racism problem of specifically the the problem of police killing black men at a higher rate than other people so when you looked at the statistics to see this problem where was it wasn't there so it doesn't show up in the statistics in fact it's the opposite that if you look if you only count the number of people get stopped by police in the first place just that population which is the relevant population more white people get killed by police per capita you know of the number of people stopped than black now of course everybody on the right already knows this right you knew this Tucker Carlson

[41:26]

this right you knew this Tucker Carlson did a show on it I saw McCarthy just talked about it on TV I think the five is too probably talked about it probably probably every news outlet I'm sure bright Bart's talked about it probably every news outlet on the right has reported that the very thing they're marching about the massive protests over overwhelming the is actually based on nothing that's what the writers report but on the left this is a real as it could be because it's a lived experience I like I like that phrase because it it's sort of afraid is that needed to happen they lived experience because lived experience speaks to the subjectivity of reality now suppose you wanted to talk people out of their frame the frame is that the racism and the police police are killing black people at a higher rate if you wanted to talk the man at that how would you do it I'm going to

[42:27]

that how would you do it I'm going to teach you how won't work every time doesn't necessarily work instantly but it does work and I don't know anything else that would work and this is a really deep trick in hypnosis you ready this is this is now you've you've got a background on how to persuade most of you do if you've been watching me for a while you've got a lot of the basics you know how to sell past you you know you know not to sell past the clothes but you should make people think past the sale you know that you know you should contrast you know that you should use visual etc see know you've seen a lot of the tools but now I'm going to take you into a deeper level I'm taking you to some serious alright it may not look like it what do you first see it and you're gonna say to yourself I don't know that that would work it works won't work every time with every person that's persuasion doesn't work that way but it's really powerful have I built it up

[43:28]

it's really powerful have I built it up enough let's take a look at it
goes like this this is one of the things we learned in hypnosis class by the way as a as an actual technique and it goes like this if you want to pop somebody's delusion and let's say that you know for sure that they're operating in a delusion that can be easily proven to be a delusion now in this case there are statistics and those statistics easily prove that it's a delusion but people don't just don't talk about these statistics and just act like the statistics don't exist because if they did talk about them they're illusion would pop now if you say to them hey your issue is fake what are they going to say to you you fricking racist you racist my issue is real and then you say but look at the statistics what do they say in the real

[44:30]

statistics what do they say in the real world people don't agree with you because you have facts we've learned this right you have no chance of persuading with information even if the people agree your information is correct and even if the information is simple and very clear which it is in this case it's the clearest example that you can see where if you just show them the statistics and look number of people dead black - white - death by cop you can see that the thing you're marching about actually doesn't exist the problem you're talking about specifically the death part not not racism in general racism in general we assume to exist what we're talking about that death by cop problem here is the method you agree with with the thing that you're trying to debunk and you amplify it you agree and you amplify it it's the amplifying so the agreeing is just pacing if you agree with somebody

[45:32]

just pacing if you agree with somebody they'll listen to you if you disagree they'll just tell you you're wrong and they don't even care what the reasons are so you have to agree or you're not in the conversation you got that right agreeing is your invitation to the conversation if you haven't done that if you start with a disagreement there's nothing that's happening after that it's your you're done before you start so you agree and then you amplify it you take their own point like Stephen Colbert did when he would mock conservative beliefs he would adopt them and amplify them so that you could see the ridiculousness because he just amplified them a little bit now if you amplify too much you get the Stephen Colbert show and it's just humorous right so the trick is you don't want to imply that much is that it just looks like a joke you want to amplify enough that people can't tell if you're joking so here is a sentence that demonstrates that so if somebody says

[46:32]

demonstrates that so if somebody says you know what's your view on this you could say police brutality against black black Americans is a huge problem that's the agreeing part it's a huge problem in every way except statistically and you just say this like this makes sense does this make sense that it's a huge problem in every way except statistically because this statistically tells you it doesn't exist and yet we see that people are protesting we see a video of a guy dying we see people upset we see looting so it is true that police brutality against black Americans is a huge problem that's true right it's totally true because we're seeing protests of the economy being destroyed and we're at each other's necks there's no question it's a huge problem in every way well except statistically so that's this is the persuasion technique to pop a

[47:35]

is the persuasion technique to pop a delusion you got to get inside it it's called getting inside it so getting inside it means that you adopt it as your your own frame so instead of saying that frame is wrong it's not about racism it's about it's about power it's about Democrats anything else like that is completely useless it's just a waste of talk you can't persuade that way you got to agree and then amplify it just enough that somebody else will say what's that mean and you say I'm agreeing with you it's this is a gigantic problem and they say but what do you mean by except statistically well you know if you look at the statistics there's no support for it but that doesn't matter you agree to them you say it doesn't matter it's a huge problem in every other way except for the part the statistical part now let's say you say that's somebody and they in there and you get their attention the hard part is

[48:37]

you get their attention the hard part is getting people to you know to think about it later and they go home and they say what does it mean to say it's a huge problem in every way except statistically that can't be true that can't be true right and then you get them to Google it so the whim is not that they changed their mind while they're standing there that's not going to happen they'll never change their mind while you're standing there but you can certainly cause them to go home and in the privacy of their own room say I just need to check this click click click click google it and then you see it and you say to yourself oh my god I've been marching for five days over an issue that isn't even identifiable statistically now probably what you're gonna get because I've already tested this a little bit if something like this but it is true that

[49:38]

something like this but it is true that the police will hassle black people more than white people that just sounds true doesn't it right I mean anecdotally that seems so obviously true they even I wouldn't agree even I wouldn't believe statistics if the statistics showed they put this way if I ever saw a statistic that said that black citizens and white citizens are stopped and hassled just hassled by the police at the same rate would you believe that statistic no no you wouldn't and you're not you know even people who are not lack wouldn't believe that statistic that's not even the slightly credible statistic there is a hundred percent chance the black citizens peace-loving black citizens are stopped by police and hassled more than white citizens there's no there's no way that's not true so but I think the argument would shift to that as if anybody disagreed with that I don't think anybody disagrees with that

[50:39]

don't think anybody disagrees with that I think the police agree to that I don't know but I would guess all right here's some here's some more of those so here's another example of agreeing and amplifying are you ready now this one goes a little bit too far because you can tell it's a joke all right but it's a good example but just be aware it goes a little too far where this one didn't you know the the every way except statistically doesn't go too far but this one does so you can tell the difference and it goes like this that I tweeted this today I said I demand change which is what the protesters are demanding a demand change I also demand that you not know its specifically what change I'm talking about so you can't help because that's what the protesters are saying except I've amplified it a little what they're saying is we demand change and what they're also not saying is specifically what change and if they did would you be willing to talk about

[51:42]

did would you be willing to talk about it and maybe help probably why wouldn't you yeah you're a helpful person if somebody had a problem and they had a specific suggestion you'd at least talk about it you'd at least discuss it so here's the there's a sentence again just so you can appreciate it I demand change I also demand that you not know its specifically what change I want so you can't help that's exactly what they're asking for but not in those words I just amplified it a little bit all right here's another one all right let's keep rich people in power by using identity politics
and so every the left agrees that identity politics is a useful tool and say that by the way that's not my impression of what they think they say that directly there are a number of quotes from people on the Left saying in plain language identity politics is a useful tool for getting stuff done so

[52:46]

useful tool for getting stuff done so what if you agree with them because there's nobody who's arguing your point that if you use identity politics it has the effect of dividing us and that allows the rich people to stay in power because as long as the public is divided they don't have enough combined the power to go take the money from the rich people the moment they got together and realized it's not about race they would have all the power they would raise the taxes on the rich and they would just take their money so as a rich person on behalf of all rich people I can't say identity politics is bad for me because it's kind of good for me if you know what I mean I mean in a bad way it's good for me so I'm not laughing in the haha you know it's good for me I'm laughing at the absurdity of it I'm laughing that I can be a rich person and I can tell you in public the moment you stop fighting about identity politics

[53:47]

stop fighting about identity politics I'm gonna lose all of my because because low-income people would just vote higher taxes and then I would have to pay my taxes or go to jail and then they would have all my so do I want pala do I want to do I want identity politics to completely stop well I'd like it to calm down a little bit so nobody's dying and the economy can get running but is it good for me to get rid of identity politics now financially not financially it's not so be honest about that how do you know that identity politics is good for rich people well I haven't checked the stock market today but as of yesterday the stock market was telling us that yep it

[54:49]

stock market was telling us that yep it looks like the S&P 500 is up again today which tells you that rich people wait for it rich people wait for it think that the protests and the identity politics are good for them that's right rich people have bid up the stock market because who has money to put in stocks not poor people poor people did not move the stock market only rich people rich people are looking at racial riots and bidding the stock market up are there any other questions rich people are looking at racial division and bidding stocks up it's not a coincidence yeah if if everybody got together the

[55:50]

yeah if if everybody got together the stock market would plunge alright but luckily it won't happen because the media is so good at dividing us ben shapiro others have made this point but ben shapiro said it well when the the police officer who was charged in the george floyd desk the the main guy with the knee he was charged with third-degree murder originally and then that got raised by keith ellison to second-degree now as a crowd pleaser that was probably a good play it's kind of a crowd-pleasing thing to increase the the charge and then he also charged the other cops were involved again another crowd pleaser but it creates a new risk as ben shapiro points out which is that he says elevation of floyd killing to second-degree is quite risky it requires proving intent to kill rather than depraved

[56:51]

intent to kill rather than depraved indifference to human life and that's a heavy legal burden do you think there's even the slightest chance that the prosecution can prove intent to kill do you think there's even the slightest chance and the answer is nope doesn't there really isn't there isn't the slightest chance so why would keith Ellison change the charge to something that guarantees there won't be a conviction why do you think it guarantees a second a second or riot so by charging overcharging and making intent to kill a part of the charge which can't be proven I mean there's the unless there's some whole new story we don't know about because it said that they worked at the same place but we think they didn't meet because they worked at different times and one was

[57:51]

worked at different times and one was indoors and one was out so they may have never met we don't know if they did but they did work at the same place so it's possible that the prosecution has a theory that shows intent but if the only way they're gonna try to show intent is by the actions that happened on film if that's all they have not a chance there's no chance because the conversation that they had and has been reported is true there were witnesses but the conversation was about keeping him alive specifically about keeping him alive now you don't believe he's going to get off let me give you my defense
and again I'll frame this by saying I watched the same video all of you watched it looked like a crime to me all right so so can we start all in the same page it looked like a crime to me so we're

[58:53]

it looked like a crime to me so we're not gonna argue about that right I'm not a lawyer so I'm not going to say first-degree is that going to be third-degree I think need a little more training to talk about that stuff in public ben shapiro has the training so i quote him rather than you know giving you my opinion on the and the law so here's the here's the defense of George George Floyd's killer that is guaranteed to work whether you like it or not I'm not saying I wanted to work again it looked like a crime probably there needs to be some you know justice for that but legally God does he have a good case and it goes like this and you and by the way the thing I'm gonna say next you've never heard before you've never heard what I'm gonna say next and when you hear it you're gonna say there's definitely going to be a second riot here it is did you hear

[59:56]

a second riot here it is did you hear that George Floyd tested positive for coronavirus so that happened last night we heard it or yesterday so that's a fact so we so in evidence the coroner's report it shows that he was he tested positive for coronavirus now just store that fact just keep that in your head now you're a police officer in the age of coronavirus you're in the middle of a pandemic you're not wearing a face mask or protective gear you've got you stopped somebody who is clearly under the influence this person under the influence do they face you or do they turn their back away from you when they talk to you you know the answer everybody faces the police officer in fact you face anybody you're talking to now in the police officer world given that they apparently felt they needed to subdue him for whatever he was doing we don't know all the details but it's clear there was some kind of a scuffle

[1:00:56]

clear there was some kind of a scuffle and some kind of a subduing we don't know that that necessarily means resisting arrest but it's implied we just don't have any confirmation of that in the in the in the the act of trying to subdue this person who is large and can't be reasoned with because of the drugs I mean anybody on the right kind of drugs can't be reasoned with but he's facing you he's talking he's he's spitting because he's a drunk he's inebriated and he behaved people horny uh you know there's there's some stuff coming out right there's some spray now this police officer has to subdue this person and they have to subdue every part of him because it's actually the only thing you can do if somebody is in a zombie like a drug state you can't reason with them you can't even hurt them in other words they're not even afraid of pain so pain doesn't work threats don't work negotiating doesn't work you know

[1:01:57]

negotiating doesn't work you know offering them rewards wouldn't work there is no other solution for somebody who's in zombie you know zombies state except restraining every part of their body that's why three policemen we're trying to do it now if you tried to restrain somebody in the age of coronavirus and you don't want their face in your face because then you could die from coronavirus what do you do about it how do you keep somebody's face not facing you well the first thing you do is you might try to control them facing the other direction so in other words if you hadn't faced up your face would be somewhere around his face that's not what you're looking for and plus maybe you could fight back easily because his knees would be up instead of down right you don't want your suspect to be able to get his knees up because I'm he can you know me anything even if he's handcuffed so it's good to have him on their face just for control but in

[1:02:57]

on their face just for control but in addition what was the police officers supposed to do was he supposed to hold George's head with his hands to keep it faced away from him because he couldn't reason with him right but he didn't want his face facing his hands not so good because that's you know hands might be where you pick it up you know you don't want to touch a suspects face if he's got coronavirus now you might say to yourself they didn't know he had a virus no they didn't but they did know they did know that there was a chance of it and they did know that all the experts say you should treat everybody like they might have it and what we watched was somebody who is treating a suspect like he had corona virus in other words putting his knee in the place that would prevent him from turning his head or giving up because if he turned his head or got up and he would be dangerous to the police because of corona virus now do you believe that

[1:04:00]

of corona virus now do you believe that the police were thinking of coronavirus at the time I don't not really does it give you all the reasonable doubt you need yes yes it does we have no information about what they were thinking we only know what they did you can't really know what people are thinking but if the you can assume that the defense will say in the age of coronavirus it was very important if you can't control a suspect that at the very least you guarantee is not facing you you got to guarantee that because of the health situation it's over yeah no but you didn't think about that did you I also didn't think about it until we heard the news that he tested positive now you tell that story and then you add at the end of it and by the way they didn't know if he was if he had corona virus but he did test positive which doesn't mean he was trans he was

[1:05:02]

which doesn't mean he was trans he was able to spread it because we don't know the timing of things but he did test positive there's no there's not the slightest chance you can get convicted not even a little bit remember you have to convince 12 people of this now could you convince nine people that he was guilty anyway sure you could probably convince nine out of 12 no conviction so yeah and then there was the other issue of we we may find out more about allegedly there was something in his Hey and that might have been drugs and did he did he take a bunch of drugs so they wouldn't be discovered is that why the cops were wrestling with him in the backseat because he tried to put the drugs in his mouth is that what was happening we don't know so there's a whole bunch of stuff we're gonna learn that will almost certainly change how you look at it all right by the way when I was talking about the the real frame

[1:06:02]

I was talking about the the real frame is his people with low income are really on the same team they just don't know it because this identity politics frame that's the same thing Chappelle said so Dave Chappelle one of his funniest routines as when he talks about the fact that he doesn't get discriminated against because he's rich Dave Chappelle is about as woke as you could possibly be because he understands that being rich was the main variable and as soon as he was rich well he can join any Country Club he wants turns out David Chappelle can do anything he wants doesn't matter if he's black or anything long as he's rich Oh Jay Simpson once said something like that allegedly who knows but and I watched no Jay Simpson I wish my gardener were not leaf blowing right below my window right now I don't know how much you can hear that but so

[1:07:03]

know how much you can hear that but so Jay said at one point allegedly in a biography I saw about him that he said he wasn't black he was OJ and he was right yeah Oh Jay is not black he's okay meaning that his reputation his talent his money his fame in this case also for bad reasons of Fame but his his who he was was so much bigger than his racial identity that it just didn't even matter anymore Chappelle was saying the same thing so anyway I'm not the only person signals what do you think about the people getting on their knees to the protestors that are you having the same reaction to that that ayah which is it's not a good look but hey if they want to do that there's another hydroxychloroquine study that says it doesn't work at all it's a controlled clinical style controlled

[1:08:05]

controlled clinical style controlled clinical trial that said to Heydrich hydroxychloroquine didn't work at all for reducing the symptoms if he even if he took it as a prophylactics prophylactics it took about a minute and a half for the smartest people on the Twitter to say all right this will be debunked in I said 48 hours so my guess was that that study would be debunked in 48 hours it took less than a day and somebody smart went in and said your headline says that it doesn't work but your data says it does that's right the summary was that it doesn't work but the data very clearly says it does now it says it does at a rate of like 17 percent better than the alternative 17 percent is a pretty big deal if if you have a 70% reduction in you know coronavirus risk but you added to that

[1:09:07]

coronavirus risk but you added to that risk the risk from the meds themselves because I'd rocks of chloroquine has a little bit of a risk as well would you take a 17 percent advantage for the risk of a drug that's been approved for 50 years and if you don't have a heart problem it doesn't seem to be any problem if you're only taking it for two weeks it doesn't seem to be any problem at all would you take that risk of course you would you would take that in a heartbeat and guess how they got from 17% benefit down to not statistically valid do you know how they got from that they did the math wrong that's right they did the math wrong and not even hard math simple math and what and one of the smart critics came in and said ah here are your own numbers here's how you do math it was devastating I think it's true I met the critic sounded more right than the study you should check out Candice

[1:10:08]

the study you should check out Candice Owens a video that's got 1.2 million views I won't repeat her argument because it's just better if you hear from her it is the best thing I've seen her do so far and she's done a lot of good things so Candice Owens argument about George Floyd is I would say is just one of the best presented live streamed videos that's now recorded you could watch it just one of the best performances plus argument that you'll ever say because she has the whole package she has the whole talent stack she doesn't just have good points but man is she good on camera that's that's a really separate skill if you've watched anybody else on periscope can I can I have some agreement that almost everybody sucks on livestream almost everybody is terrible did you watch Obama Obama on livestream oh my god he's terrible he's terrible that's right Obama who you believe you know you

[1:11:10]

Obama who you believe you know you believe is like a media kind of genius I mean it's just great on camera or great in interviews great in debates you think that you think that Obama was like one of the champions of that realm and then you watch him on a live stream just a little bit different technology a little you know not as much production values and he disappeared that's right his charisma disappeared on live stream this is a different media and he was just boring and you could barely this listen to him then Candice comes on and you're like okay I can't even I can't even turn this off I mean she is so engaging she has the whole package the presentation the she's got the look you know and I'd not mean in a sexist way she just has a look that could apply to male or female or any gender you want she just has the presence that's the better way of saying I'll say the presence not the look so check that out it's got like 1.2

[1:12:14]

look so check that out it's got like 1.2 million views worth every view I will talk to you later
