hey everybody come on in it's time yeah it's time for a coffee with Scott Adams best part of the day every single time haven't been wrong yet and what do you need to enjoy your first moments of coffee with Scott Adams yes it's the coffee part or a beverage and all you need is a cup or mug or a glass a tankard chelators time to canteen jerker flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine the end of the day the thing that makes everything better including the pandemic including the riots including racial strife yeah it does it's the simultaneous if it happens now go mmm yep temperatures going down well the news is just full of little nuggets for

[1:16]

news is just full of little nuggets for us to discuss but first I must tell you this little bit of good news don't you like to start with the good news well maybe it wasn't good news for you but it is for me so yesterday was my birthday and went out to dinner I went to I know this is hard to believe a restaurant have you heard of those it's place you go to they prepare the food for you they'll bring it to a table they'll serve it to you and all you have to do is pay money it's it's a really good business model I think it's gonna catch on and while the restaurants in my town are not open the county you one County over the restaurants were open for outdoor seating so I got to have my first outdoor seating restaurant experience sense I don't know I don't remember the last time I went to a restaurant January maybe and I can't tell you how

[2:20]

January maybe and I can't tell you how happy I was oh my god it was just this little feeling of normality this little feeling of freedom just take a drive stop at a restaurant have food it was incredible so let me tell you this if you had not yet experienced the freedom of you know a little bit of freedom of movement from the coronavirus of when you do what do you do it's as good as you think it's gonna be just as good as you think really really good so look forward to that now there's a lot of the news that I can't talk about today as you know as a white man in America I don't have free speech the way lots of other people do now should I ever have free speech what I'd love to do is try to help with the the police situation and the racial

[3:24]

the police situation and the racial strife I can sort of talk around the edges but since I'm not allowed to mention any data and I'm not allowed to actually give it you know a real honest opinion on anything I can only sort of talk about around the edges and we'll do that today now because I don't have freedom of speech that was one of several motivations for making an announcement now are you ready announcement time I've made a small investment in the locals platform now I've told you before that I'm moving a lot of my content especially the stuff that I don't show other places over to locals locals calm and that's a subscription service so I can't be cancelled so because I have no freedom of speech not in any practical sense I mean the government obviously lets me say anything I want but in terms of society the way it's organized in a practical sense I don't have freedom of

[4:24]

practical sense I don't have freedom of speech but I could do a lot more within locals because the odds of me being canceled there or low and because it's only people who want to hear what I have to say so it's self selecting but beyond that I can't be kicked off that platform just for having an opinion so my my source of of income would not be threatened should I decide to express my free speech so that's at least one place that I can go and have an opinion and by the way I'm not talking about any kind of offensive opinions whatsoever I don't have any opinions that in my opinion would be the least bit offensive if I could say them but we don't have the kind of freedom of speech where you can say you know offensive things if somebody just has a different opinion so so that's going on all right did you watch did any of you try to

[5:25]

did you watch did any of you try to watch CNN last night I I tell you this all the time and there's no joke to this at all I watched CNN for the laughs and sometimes it's really funny last night was amazing so as you know the protesters have sort of cumulatively come up with this idea of defunding the police and in fact Minneapolis has the votes to do that looks like the City Council wants to relieve some of them want to defund the police now as you might imagine given that it's a an election year in an election year do you think that the professionals let's say the professional news people of CNN the professional democratic advisors the professional Democrats who have held office before at a high level do you think any of them think it's a good idea

[6:27]

think any of them think it's a good idea to be anti police in an election year I doubt it I doubt any of the professionals think that's a good idea and you can see that in play hilariously as as CNN tried to coach it's there literally were trying to coach their guests to say the right thing because they were saying the wrong things so far and they were trying to coach them into explaining what defunding the police means and I could go through the various examples so there was the let's say you had the let's see you had the well a lot of people wait in you had the mayor of something who had one opinion oh yes so you had the council president Lisa bender she had one opinion there's a DC Mayor Muriel Bowser there's yummy CH Elson door who had some

[7:28]

there's yummy CH Elson door who had some things to say about it and double AC P John Oliver he was talking about it last night here's what's interesting about all the people who were explaining to us what do you fund the police means they all have different explanations and I thought the easiest way to kind of cover this territory is by interviewing Dale the anti anti Trumper so if you haven't met Dale Dale is well Dale just doesn't like President Trump and whatever position President Trump takes you can find Dale on the other side but sometimes it's harder than other times because sometimes the other side is a little bit murky so I thought I would just interviewed Dale and find out so Dale I know you're very anti Trump which doesn't matter of course because we're not talking about that we're just talking about this defund the police thing how does that work if you defund

[8:30]

thing how does that work if you defund the police who would you call if you had let's say a home break-in for example who would you call well well you I hear what you say and I acknowledge it and I I value your opinion mm-hmm in that case you would call your white privilege and good luck with that your white privilege just just call your white privilege Dale I don't have a number for my white privilige and my white privilege is not armed and I think you're giving me advice that would cause me to be slain by armed intruders sounds like what you're saying well look who's so concerned about his white privilege life see how it feels how does it feel now okay Dale I hear what you're saying

[9:31]

now okay Dale I hear what you're saying but this isn't helping me like how do you how do you help the community and and what does it really mean to defund the police you mean no police at all oh
you're so confused when I say defund the police I mean it the way Joe Biden explains it for example Joe Biden says we don't want to defund the police we want to take money away from them if they're not doing what we want them to do which would be if I may use his exact words if they don't meet certain basic standards of decency and honorable this clear very clear well Dale so so the idea is not to take money away from the police but rather to not give money to the police that you would normally give

[10:31]

the police that you would normally give that exactly well Dale that sounds a lot like defunding the police I mean at least from a federal level as Joe Biden is talking about it you can the house that that's the taking money from the please that's nothing like defunding the police what kind of stupid bubble are you in over in there Fox News was stupid okay Dale to understand this so what about all the functions of the police you know the part where they have to you know face down an armed robber for example who would do that Scott Scott Scott we're not talking about giving rid of us please who told you that some right-wing conspirator conspiracy theory person no no defund the police doesn't mean get rid of all the police I don't even what

[11:31]

rid of all the police I don't even what you're thinking what it means is that for those police functions such as let's say a call if you have somebody has mental health problems you would send a non police person instead of the police and then the non police person who would not have a gun could not kill anybody with their with a gun so better much better all right all right I kind of almost understand that but here's the part I don't understand would the situations that you're sending an unarmed person who's not a police officer are you sending him to into situations that were peaceful and calm and didn't really have a much opportunity for trouble in the first place that's right that's exactly right okay but Dale were those the situations in which people were getting killed because it sounds to me like the part

[12:33]

because it sounds to me like the part you're defunding is all the stuff that wasn't a problem in the first place
that's racist I don't know how that's racist I'm literally just talking about budget categories that's it that's it well it looks like you've been listening to a little bit too much Tucker Carlson if you know what I mean I don't know what you mean I do not know what you mean racist and seem alright so that pretty much covers the entire territory the the people who actually know what they're doing are panicked because this whole defund the police thing there's just no way to spin this into a positive so but it turns out that you you think is crazy right don't you think it's kind of crazy to defund the police but there's actually a town was it in New Jersey that actually disbanded their Police

[13:35]

that actually disbanded their Police Department can you believe that yeah there was an actual town that disbanded its police department and I might have to bring Dale back to explain what it means to get rid of your police and it hasn't worked it hasn't worked out that poorly if you check back they got rid of the police department and it's not it's not that bad and let Dale explain to you how they did it Dale can you explain that town that did get rid of I guess was a few years ago they got rid of their entire Police Department and it seems to be working okay how did they do that well let me explain it to you racist the way it works is you take the police department you get rid of them all get rid of all of them step1 step2 you create a police department to replace them get it no I thought you were

[14:36]

them get it no I thought you were getting rid of the police department are you saying they got rid of the police department and then replace them with a police department is that the same as getting rid of the police well okay I guess I have to explain everything let's let's get into the details you know I was just gonna the I assumed you were smart enough to understand us talk about but we'll dig into the details they get rid of the entire police force you get that right do you understand that yet yes I do okay all right hold that flop they get rather tall police then they replace it with a police department are you following are you following this at all no I'm not all right one other fact that you need to know they'll explain this okay get rid of the police department you replace them with the police department but you

[15:39]

them with the police department but you don't call them the police department you armed them you give them uniforms but they're not pleased they're just not we just call them something else pretty good all right all right we'll talk later so you can't say it hasn't been tried and worked it totally worked when they got rid of the police department and replaced it with the police department now the the the story just below that level yeah the story below that level is that the existing Police Department they got rid of was so corrupt that they couldn't fix it it was actually so corrupt they're like we can't even fix this so basically it was a trick to fire all the police so it wasn't really defunding the police they were just corrupt so they wanted to get rid of them all so they just changed the name

[16:39]

them all so they just changed the name coincidentally that is exactly the topic of my comic and Dilbert yesterday it was either yesterday or the day before it was exactly that oh no yeah we're gonna get rid of the place with men replace them with police all right the president of the mca ee n-double-a-cp won't even back the defund the police thing because the president doesn't know what it means the president of the n-double a-c-p apparently the president Derek Johnson he backs the energy behind it but he didn't know what it was exactly because everybody's got a different idea so you got that the funniest was when Chris Cuomo was was interviewing you should actually see this so I tweeted this yesterday you could find it in my Twitter feed so he was interviewing Lisa bender the Minneapolis City president's council president and so she was talking about

[17:39]

president and so she was talking about what it means to get rid of the police and she said that was more aspirational but she wouldn't say that until Chris Cuomo just badgered me to say it was aspirational he kept he kept trying to give her an out well you don't mean get rid of the police you know you don't mean you could right away you know he kept like he kept trying to nudge her and then finally he was just shoving her just shoving her say aspirational please I can't let you go until you say the word just say the word just say aspirational please please just say aspirational and then I think she used the word and he was okay with it but then they could live they could go on John Oliver desperately tried to explain it away by saying that only the stuff that wasn't dangerous in the first place would move to other agencies and I'm thinking of myself does he think nobody's gonna notice that the stuff they want to take away from police was the stuff that didn't nobody got hurt with anyway unless it was some weird

[18:42]

with anyway unless it was some weird tragic situation all right now I'm the productive side of things it turns out that there's some legislation from the Democrats I think primarily Democrats on it's called the justice and policing Act I think calmly Harrison bunch of others are involved in this and here are the things on the list now see if see if you would have any disagreement with anything on this list because it's being is being presented as just sort of common sense stuff that doesn't have any political element to it see if you agree don't do these things that are they just common sense and or not
not all right so number one no more chokeholds and carotid I guess that's the carotid artery holds so I think that's what would have kept George Florida Floyd live no more

[19:46]

George Florida Floyd live no more no-knock warrants in drug cases deadly force may only be used as a last resort and officers must employ de-escalation techniques first are you telling me that's not already part of the police force is there is there any part of the police force that allows the police to use deadly force before they've tried other things
no so the no knock thing certainly makes sense all right establishing a use of force standard and enabling the prosecution of police for reckless in addition to willful misconduct so reckless it's sort of a hard to enforce standard but I'm sure that the law has dealt with things like that before so are you telling me that there's not already a use of force standard in the police department does that not exist already I don't know

[20:48]

that not exist already I don't know enabling victims to recover civil damages by eliminating qualified immunity when police violate our constitutional rights I think it has to be a lawyer and know a lot more about that to know the ins and outs of that I mean it sounds okay I mean on the surface but I think somebody who knows more about this would have a deeper opinion improving the use of pattern and practice investigations so pattern and practice meaning looking for statistical signs of I don't discrimination and racism I guess all right how about establishing a first-ever national database on police misconduct where have you ever heard that idea before where was the first time you ever heard why don't we have a national database so that we can all be on the same page and we know exactly what's going on with all this police abuse and racism stuff the

[21:48]

this police abuse and racism stuff the first place you ever heard that was for me now I'm not saying that they got the idea for me but I'm pretty sure I'm the first person who sent it to you I'd never heard of the idea before I was talking about it a few years ago but I'm gonna talk about that one in a minute let me go through the list we'll get back to that database I requiring local police to take equipment made for war off the streets so not using any any of their really expensive stuff I don't know haven't we used it before I I gotta tell you I've never been the one who was too worried about the military equipment on the streets if they thought they needed it does I didn't think it was gonna become a trend or something you know or become the beginning of some kind of a war or anything like that but from a psychological perspective I could see the benefit of not looking like you're a military dictatorship it's worth talking about all right

[22:48]

worth talking about all right requiring federal police to wear body cams and four marked police vehicles to have dash board Kim's marked federal police vehicles so this is only Federal Police so that's the only thing that can influence not the State Police so I don't know if that makes any difference if it's only the federal police body cams but let's get back to the database one what's going to happen when there's a database of police behavior what how much racism are they going to find when there's a national standard database so they can find the was it called the pattern and practice that identifies all the racism in the police department how much are they going to find once they're actually tracking it in a standardized way what do you think well if I had freedom of speech I could

[23:51]

well if I had freedom of speech I could that I could dig into that but I don't so I won't here's what here's what's missing what's missing is some kind of a standard for when a suspects who are under police control asks for medical help because that feels like a big category that this ignores right what happens when the suspect is saying I can't breathe even if you're not using the chokeholds and carotid holds so even if you're not choking them I don't think it's unusual for suspects to say I can't breathe I need medical help so what do you do if that feels like that's not handled by these ideas but here's so here's the most important thing you need to know about this legislation it wouldn't have any impact on the protests would it was there anything on this list that would make the protesters happy I don't think so right I don't think

[24:52]

don't think so right I don't think there's anything on this list that would make the protesters happy so you've got the government and the Democrats working desperately to do something that looks useful and they've created a list of things that sound pretty good I gotta say that I don't have a real I don't have any knock whatsoever on their list I think people were smarter than I am should look at it you know especially the legal stuff something that's got some police experience until you know tell us the pluses and minuses maybe the entire list will make it through so it looks like a good practical attempt to do something that would be useful but it has it has no implications for the protest none of this stuff is gonna make the protesters happy do you think you will I can't imagine it would so you have this weird world where solutions are being worked out that by their design couldn't make any difference so

[25:55]

design couldn't make any difference so all right I've been wondering about how history will see president Trump's instincts yeah he always famously talks about following his instincts and and we've seen that with the coronavirus situation better than anything else because the one thing that distinguishes the coronavirus is that all of our data was in question I don't know if we we the sort of a rare situation when everything that we heard about the corona virus everything we heard about the medical situation what we should and should not do it was just all wrong just everything was wrong so he had to have all Scott you had a knockdown argument males versus females stops seem sexist oh yeah yes that was a I'll just change

[26:56]

oh yeah yes that was a I'll just change topic for a moment so it was Van Jones who said that the the female leaders did such a better job than the male leaders on dealing with coronavirus and I thought to myself how is that bad sexist really how was that bad sexist anyway if that's another category of things that I'm not allowed to talk about because I don't have I don't have functional freedom of speech so that's another topic but let's talk about Trump's instincts so one of the things he did by instinct as much as anything else was close the airports when the experts said no I think his instinct on closing the airports was correct now he got criticized for not closing down the economy in time when we look at this from a historical perspective will we think that's still true that he should have closed closed things sooner I don't know because we opened up things when

[27:57]

know because we opened up things when people thought it was too soon and it seems to be working out isn't it so if if we continue to open up and the people who said oh no it's gonna be a second wave in the end of the world if that doesn't materialize then it's also going to be harder to argue that he should have closed sooner because I think we're gonna find that when you closed may not have the quite the impact that you hoped it would have so that's still an open question now the other thing that Trump was pushing for is the reopening of the economy sooner than some of his critics wanted to open it there were a lot of people on his side but a lot of pushback it looks like it's still early but it looks like his instincts were right that opening up just about now and pushing to make sure that there was some constructive force on the side of opening up I think history is going to say he was right right so I think he was right on the

[29:00]

right so I think he was right on the airport's pure instinct there was there was no data to back him up on the airport closing experts said don't do it did it anyway pure leadership and instinct and right I think he's right on reopening and then recently we saw that the two studies that said hydroxychloroquine were dangerous were both with John as being quacks they were based on database databases that have no credibility it looked like they're just made-up data so Trump was right about hydroxychloroquine in terms of risk management yeah I'm not saying he's right that the drug works because I haven't seen the evidence of that yet that convinces me but he was certainly right that the day that the dangers had already been discounted by the fact that the drug had been available for decades turns out those dangers were not true according to any studies we've seen in other words we haven't seen the study that says that he's wrong looks like his instinct was

[30:01]

he's wrong looks like his instinct was right on that too but then there's another thing that he gets right better than anybody in the world let's go to the white board you know I make this this point a lot that the economy floats on this this cloud of psychology the only thing that keeps the economy working is the way we think about it so if you didn't think things were going to be good tomorrow you wouldn't invest today and if nobody invests today tomorrow won't be good it's just this circular kind of psychological support that you have to have optimism you have to think things are going right and so long as you don't have any shortages you know you're not running out of anything that you need to keep the economy running and we're not we don't have any shortages of anything in our economies in the world so you've got this very let's say vulnerable element here the psychology to psychology can

[31:01]

here the psychology to psychology can change in an instant you know you can get a depression just instantly if people's psychology changed now so that's the only thing that keeps the economy from falling into the flames is what we think about it and what we think about it is driven entirely by persuasion and we watched the most remarkable thing happened we watched the stock market reach levels that I don't think too many people thought were possible at this stage of where we're at it doesn't seem possible that the stock market should be as high as it is and but what it's telling you it's telling you that this level the psychology is rock-solid that's what is telling you the the strength you saw in the stock market I haven't seen that was done today I would expect it to have at least some down days this week it's got to pull back a little alright let's see yeah okay so today it's pulling back a

[32:02]

yeah okay so today it's pulling back a little just like you'd expect it to I'd be I would have been amazed if if it was up again today that would have been incredible so you expect it to be choppy but man this psychology level to to support the stock market where it is given all the you know the the upheaval from the economy that's incredible who did this who did that what is it what is it that's making this cloud what turned it into a solid only one thing in my opinion only one thing now some people are saying the Fed and I hear you because the feds actions and interest rates make a big difference but interest rates shouldn't make any difference if you think the economy is going to crumble right somebody says the Fed did it I will give the Fed some credit but the feds actions

[33:03]

the Fed some credit but the feds actions would be useless if we didn't also believe that the base economy would be fine you get that right so it is true that the stock market is very influenced by the Federal Reserve and money and interest rates and that is all favorable at the moment but by itself it would be worthless the feds actions are not enough to give you this so you need you need the basic stuff you need the yeah you needed the stimulus you need enough cash any of the interest rates but those are only sufficient I'm sorry those are necessary but they're not sufficient sufficient came entirely from Trump in my opinion in my opinion this entire structure is being held up by one person Trump and the reason that he can do that even though he has such little credibility in terms of fact-checking

[34:03]

terms of fact-checking he doesn't have much credibility in fact-checking but even his critics would it would agree that the fact-checking he fails is either stuff that doesn't matter you know it's not important or it's at least directionally correct right he's in the right direction anyway but there's one thing that even his critics would have a hard time disagreeing with and it's this he is really good at predicting and therefore moving the economy I believe that the stock market yeah you need the feds the interest rates low and you need the distinguish you needed all that but that where the stock market is now is almost entirely a function of Trump I believe that Trump understanding how this works as well as anyone in the world but you know he understands the psychology part of it from the very first moment what has he said about the economy from moment one it's coming back

[35:04]

economy from moment one it's coming back it's coming back stronger than you think and then never know talk about his his instincts imagine if you will that Trump had been saying this economy is going to come back and it's going to be better than ever and our first job report had been worse than we expected that could have happened right it totally could have happened that the first jobs report this one that looked good to this this most recent one it could have been bad it could have been worse than it looked and then you would have had Trump saying things are gonna come back great but the data would disagree with him a pretty big risk wasn't it that was a pretty big risk and the president again used his instinct to say this is the time to tell the public unambiguously unambiguously it's coming back hard now you've been watching me talking about the economy since things turned down

[36:06]

the economy since things turned down right what have I been telling you consistently and with no sense of hesitation since moment one it's part of the reason people watch me is that I was giving you good news I was telling you that the economy totally is coming back there's no way it's damaged beyond repair we weren't even close to that kind of a damage and that when we came back it was going to be screaming and that we would have shook the box in enough categories and industries that there would be a lot of innovation that would come out of all that you know dislocation now somebody says it's still too early let me explain how this works all right whoever said it's too early look at this cloud all right look at this cloud and understand that that only exists and it's only keeping the economy out of the fire because of the way we think about it just it's that's it it's just the way

[37:08]

it just it's that's it it's just the way we think about it that keeps us alive it's really that basic if you think about it right you're freakin rich if you think about it wrong you're all dead now whoever said too early and I'm getting ahead of myself being a little too optimistic
help me keep this alive help me keep the cloud live instead of saying it's too early say we're definitely coming back we're definitely coming back we might come back faster than people think in might there might be a little delay and then it might ramp up but man are we coming back economy it's coming back see how this works don't think of it as a prediction it is a prediction but don't think of it that way think of it as I just solidified the cloud so 4,000

[38:09]

just solidified the cloud so 4,000 people watch this by the time by the time it gets posted in different places at least audre 2,000 people will see this message so there will be a hundred thousand people who saw somebody who has been if I may be modest more correct about more things in the last four years than anybody in the public eye I think I can back that up at this point I've been more correct than more people who are public than anybody about anything political or economic for the last four years and I'm telling you with complete certainty the economy is going to come back strong stronger than you you could imagine like it'll actually surprise you it'll be so strong now that doesn't mean that every single economic report we get from between now and the end of time it will be all positive it doesn't work that way things always pop up and down but the trend is gonna be up and it's going to be strongly up now Ondra thousand people just heard me say that

[39:09]

thousand people just heard me say that how do you feel about it well I know the answer to that I'm very persuasive I'm literally a trained hypnotist and I write about persuasion often the fact that I told you that and I do have a degree in economics I've got an MBA and I haven't been wrong very much for years about the big political stuff and it should make you feel more confident that would be the natural outcome that now when you feel more confident what happens you just strengthen the cloud that's holding up the economy so I just gifted you with a little extra framework a little extra structure to support the cloud cuz you're part of the process right your beliefs matter as much as mine everybody's got to get on the same page things are gonna work really really well and that's what makes them work it's cause and effect you know I always talk

[40:10]

cause and effect you know I always talk about the power of positive thinking you don't realize how powerful it is until you you learn to filter your experience through that the power of positive thinking it does get you jobs it does get you a better love life it does it and it creates the economy it literally creates the economy now do you think it's an accident that this president was influenced by the author of the most inspirational influential book on how to basically think your way into a better world it's not a coincidence you what you're seeing the entire 15 trillion dollar economy let me put it in stark terms the power of positive thinking this little book from decades and decades ago I was at 50 60 years old whatever it is norman vincent peale that one person norman vincent

[41:10]

peale that one person norman vincent peale is almost certainly the reason we have a 15 trillion dollar economy because you know he he's he gifted future generations with that positivity all the way to President Trump including me you know directly because I was influenced by him as well and it's it's that it's that teaching and that lesson about thinking your way to a better world that made Trump president and it is now supporting the entire 15 trillion dollar economy of the United States upon which much of the rest of the world one guy with one powerful idea is supporting a 15 trillion dollar economy the world's biggest military 370 million people's livelihoods and lives one guy who told you to keep a positive opinion Oh somebody's telling me the economy is

[42:12]

Oh somebody's telling me the economy is 21 trillion I miss it I missed it by a future Lee all right so that's how powerful it is I guess Trump is saying that the the election polls they say Biden is way way ahead and pulling even further ahead Trump says that the earth these are suppression polls and they're all rigged now there are a number of different polls that are in agreement but that was also true was that not also true in 2016 which is what Trump points out and then points out that they were probably I think he thinks they were rigged in 2016 as well now were those polls rigged I don't know maybe III think they're probably rigged a little bit but that wouldn't explain necessarily why they're moving you know in the wrong direction I think the answer is almost entirely that people are lying to pollsters let me ask you

[43:14]

are lying to pollsters let me ask you this if you're watching the news would you tell a stranger you were a trump supporter even the stranger would you say it to a stranger I wouldn't I wouldn't tell a strange of that and in fact I go out of my way to not tell the stranger that I don't even want the topic to come up if the topic comes up I'm gonna change the subject if it's a stranger you know like if I'm if I were I don't talking to a server at a restaurant or just making conversation with with with somebody in the in the public realm I wouldn't say what I do when I'm not there so I think we may find out that lying is behind all of that oh you know this you saw the tweet from trump saying that the old protester you know the 75 real guy

[44:14]

old protester you know the 75 real guy that got pushed by police and buffalo he fell down and he hurt his head well Trump is promoting the idea and this was used something you saw on the internet that the old man was a provocateur and also anti foul and you say to yourself oh not so sure but it's out there that there's that accusation and then there's there's something weird he did with his cell phone that look like he was trying to scan the police radio and for the purpose of jamming it or something now I don't think that's been proven that's just sort of out there as a as a theory but I saw this adjust before I came on I saw a video of some younger protesters who are getting in the face of the old man in Buffalo the 75 year old man because they were accusing him of coming there with the intention of giving hurt

[45:14]

there with the intention of giving hurt so the younger protesters before any of this happened they were trying to get rid of the 75 year old guy because they thought he was trouble and they thought he came there to get hurt that he was trying to hurt to be a provocateur that's what the young black lives matter friendly protesters were saying to him and it's on a video now you haven't seen it yet so you probably still have you know your old impression of what that was all about but I think I think the president's instincts on this I think he did it again it looks like the president's instincts about this old man were exactly right that he was just there to get hurt and to me it looked like he took a dive now everybody who says he's 75 you know he doesn't take much too to 75 year old on his ass when I watched it it looked like he took a dive you

[46:16]

it it looked like he took a dive you know I watch a lot of soccer you know what war people pretend oh you know they pretend they got hurt so maybe I'm just primed to think that people are pretending to be hurt but to me I don't know if he was bleeding I didn't see any blood personally you know when people talk about it they say well he was you know his head was bleeding maybe I didn't see any blood I can't say it didn't happen but I didn't say any blood more video of Floyd arrest has been shown it doesn't tell you anything different somebody says the old man was wrong but he didn't deserve to fall but the point is he may not have fallen it looked like he allowed himself to fall meaning that that's the outcome he wanted yeah Trump is 73 if you pushed Trump do you think he would fall over I

[47:17]

Trump do you think he would fall over I don't think so
somebody says they want less instinct and more intelligence well I can see that but here's the thing we intelligence works well when you have data and it feel I feel like we never do we have data but it's always wrong it's misleading it's antic context that's gonna be revised tomorrow so in a world where you have lots of data but it's just all wrong what else are you gonna do you need somebody who can just sort of peer into the mess and say well we don't know anything but this seems like good risk management let's go this way and I think he's good at that somebody said they saw blood oh let me let me tell you a story yeah no forget that I haven't experienced recently but it's not an interesting enough story in which I had a very vivid false memory of an event in other words I remembered explicitly

[48:18]

other words I remembered explicitly something which I later confirmed and never and it's really freaky to have such a clear memory of a thing that never happened and you should always take note of that when it happens because that for most of you will have that experience you'll be sure you saw or heard something and then you find out proof that even satisfies you it didn't happen and remember all those because those are all the times that they help you to a higher level of awareness if you understand that false memories are so common it has nothing to do with how smart you are nothing to do with how emotional you are nothing just false memories are so common we're suffering from them all the time what's your opinion on the second wave well remember when Trump said what if it just sort of goes away what if it just goes away I think he's going to be close to correct you know he was widely mocked before

[49:19]

you know he was widely mocked before saying well maybe summer will come it'll just go away but summer came and it feels like it's just going away like how did he get that right no obviously there's some history that warm weather should make a difference but even the experts were telling Trump well no don't don't assume this is going away and of course it didn't go away but if you were to look at it you know on a continuum from you know being way way worse to completely going away when Trump said maybe it'll just go away on its own he's closer to right than wrong because nobody really understood why his suddenly fell off a table you know the the sudden change in the curve which everybody agrees happened in New York New York City is impossible to explain you can't even explain New York City it can't be explained so he was right something mysterious happened and it

[50:20]

something mysterious happened and it just it just sort of went away now it happened to correspond with the protests which is probably not a coincidence
all right so somebody says the old man flopped but he couldn't catch himself so he hit his head yeah I think there's some possibility that that that hypothesis is true that he fell intentionally because he wanted to fall but that he was 75 and he didn't do a good job of protecting himself if he even tried oh by the way he brought a helmet so the new video that shows the young people talking to the 75 year old the 75 year old brought a helmet so he was expecting brain injuries he didn't have his helmet on when he got pushed though coincidence I don't know all right those are the fun things that are happening today the things to look for

[51:23]

happening today the things to look for are what happens with that national database of of police brutality because in a few years once that database is up we're gonna find out who was right because as you know conservatives almost universally believe that there's no there's no racism when it comes to it gets killed by police specifically killed I don't know if conservatives have any opinions I don't really hear it but I think most people would assume that black Americans get stopped and hassled by the cops more often I think that's true right we're sort of on the same page on the I knew who gets hassled the most but in terms of who gets killed they're almost no conservatives believe there's any difference because the data says that now what happens when when the people on the left to see data for the first time will it change their opinions I mean really what happens when they see

[52:23]

I mean really what happens when they see data for the first time because the people on the Left don't get any data they get misleading data about number of people killed as a percentage of the population which is just the wrong way to measure stuff if they start measuring things the way things should be measured and have a real database of what's happening the discrimination is going to dis
dis beer think that conservatives and given that all the data seems to indicate that the data we have that's not a bad prediction all right um somebody said the probe the 75 year old had his own skateboard I didn't see a skateboard but who knows why does it feel like everything in life is a PSYOP someone else I think because it is certainly everything in the public eye is not what you think you know there's something I've said as sort of an offhand comment before but I'm gonna say it again

[53:24]

before but I'm gonna say it again because the more you hear it the more it's gonna be it's gonna be in your head so one of the weird elements of being me is that if you're famous for anything you end up meeting other famous people it's just sort of a natural outgrowth of being famous you just meet a lot of famous people and then you mean famous people and many powerful people and then you meet people who are behind the curtain meaning that people often will show me a truth that you've never seen for example let me give you a I'll have to give you an analogy so I don't tell you the real one all right so years ago there was a situation in which I got to see one of the biggest secrets of the government I actually got to like really get into it and see the the real details of one of the biggest secrets of our government now it's not an important one it's like it doesn't affect your life in any way but and the

[54:24]

affect your life in any way but and the only reason I can't tell you tell it to you is because it was given in confidence and even though it's 20 years later it was given in confidence so I'm not gonna repeat it but I'll give you an analogy what it was like it would be as if the government took me into area was at area 54 and showed me the UFOs it was it was that it was sort of like that but in a different realm like I actually got to see actual secrets and and that process has repeated itself you know many times and especially recently and I got to tell you that when when I hear the real story behind any actual story that's in the headlines it's just always different it's always different the real story is never the one you see on TV and never and that just never now I suppose if it's just so

[55:25]

just never now I suppose if it's just so simple you might get the real story but when you when you start digging into like you know who's funding whom and you know who's friends with who and who's married to who you know all the backstory stuff you know you always go oh okay so the story on the news wasn't even close to telling me what was happening it was just as fake version for the public so that's area 51 not 54 yes thank you for the correction now nothing military so it's well now I think that back here was military yeah so I saw a military secret I guess you could say that although it was it wasn't a it wasn't a killing device but it was something on the fringe of a military interest let's say but it wasn't a killing weapon all right well I guess you could be guessing for a while now it wasn't anything about nothing about

[56:26]

it wasn't anything about nothing about surveillance no I guess it was actually I take that back it was a little bit about surveillance I wish I could tell you oh I I was just gonna tell you I'm just gonna tell you okay I actually got to see behind the scenes the government's investigation into ESP
so I got to know what our government the most knowledgeable person in the government knows about ESP
but I can't tell you what they know that's it I wish I could tell you but I can't so so that's what it was I got to see a peek into the government's best knowledge about whether people have mental abilities beyond other people so

[57:32]

mental abilities beyond other people so just imagine that times a thousand the the stuff I've seen you can't even believe you would not believe that well I don't know if there's anything that that I wasn't told because the the stuff I saw was not you know nothing that would change national security in any way no risk to national security let's say that all right that's all I got for now and I'll talk to you tomorrow
