All right, I think I might be live now, I'm both Youtube and periscope. Thanks for coming thanks for getting in here, I appreciate it. Every time you show up well tomorrow is the big day got a lot to talk about. Don't we.
I see some people helpfully suggesting restrained, see this third
thousand dollar equipment behind me, trust me
I say I have tested every live streaming option.
and I have settled on the only one that works and only works. Eighty percent of the time, all of the other options, are more like a thirty percent of the time they work and this one's eighty percent will keep that are right, but first
was the most important thing we have to do well, we need the simultaneous epinal you need is a couple. Mugger glass intake, Rochelle, sustained the canteen jirga, flask of vessel of any kind,
fill it with your favorite liquid, like coffee and joy,
the young paralleled pleasure, the dope,
the days and makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous happen happens, don't go! Oh yeah. I feel the poles begin to converge with one sip. That's all it took.
So let me tell you why I think this periscope works. I think this periscope, meaning coffee was gardens and simultaneous. Is that there's something that I do differently from other people who live stream? Do any of you know what that is? I'm just curious if it's obvious
What I do differently- and I will tell you- I give you a moment to see if you can think of it on your own, but usually do differently. I don't treat you like an audience I treated like I'm talking to one person now. If you watch the new
turn on the television your news prisoners rose. They act like they're talking to a crowd, you're talking to an audience and the way you presented an audience is really different than the way you talk to one person. Now it's not exactly like talking to one person
it's a little modified, but I think that's what I brought to this. The the live streaming world is talking to you one on one, even though
I know there are more than more than one of you. I hope so.
how many of you referred. The podcast just came out with SAM Harris talking to Andrew Sullivan. You really have to watch us, you gotta, watch it or listen to it and here's whites,
fascinating, so both SAM Harris and Andrew Sullivan are very flexible thinkers, meaning
they're not necessarily just can agree
with a side,
US reasons.
The very too
very rational people who are not stuck in some kind of dogma. So much
Oh, that neither of them are fans of President Trump, to say the least, big critics of President Trump
but because there are also smart, rational people, they say in the bar guest.
The neither them believed the fine people hoax then believe it so.
That gives you an idea that they are capable of looking young data faction and knowing that that matters, but despite that
despite that mental was a flexibility, mental acuity that they both have clearly both brilliant people, he can't take that away from, but listening to them too.
And I want I want to make sure that I'm saying this
not as an entertaining insult because
what sort of in their mode where
Ulta each other over. Our politics is to sort of entertaining a really good string of insults against year, political nemesis, just sort of
fun and entertaining, but that's not what I'm doing here. So this next thing
next thing I say, do not put your
entertainment filter on it. This is actually
Literally, I'm not putting it.
hyperbole on this. When I listen to them talk, it sounds like a festival of mental illness. Do you have that
And I have to wonder when, when the left hears Trump supporters talk, do they have the same feeling
Now I m not talking about
The news both sides like to do the trick, where they'll find the the least informed voter from the others.
and they'll interview the person who doesn't know anything
but try to try to sell that as representing all Democrats or or our Republicans, but of course they dont represented there just individuals,
When I watch when I, when I listen to that, it just sounds like they have some actual mental issues that are working through not only in permanent ones,.
Andrew Sullivan admitted on the pod gas that, after
twenty sixteen election he had clinical depression.
and he actually had to seek treatment for a mental condition that he attributes to the election to Trump getting elected. That's pretty serious
the others, this whole mental illness thing over Trump is completely real when trunk,
The arrangements in Rome was first bandied about and I didn't inventor, but I was wondering
one of the earlier adopters that phrase empty
I would say. Well you know that's just something you say
something you say it to sort of euro diminish you're you're opponents, but it isn't it's not that at all, and I dont think that I've heard.
I've seen this kind of insanity, since Obama was president now
No Bobo's president. There were a lot of Republicans. You know this is true.
who had a little bit of Obama derangement syndrome? There was a
but I ve never seen this level this. This is a whole new level, but the reasons
and the things that stand out to me as.
The signalling mental distress, as opposed to good, rational thinking, which both are very capable of doing as I've said
is that Listen SAM's case I think, Andrews to
focus primarily on the internal thoughts of chump.
so instead of talking about. I don't like this policy that policy than the other summit,
as well, but it seems too
primarily focused on him as a person and
M says directly. The trumps character is not just a Corky character that you, like you
like, but rather at sea and eggs.
Central threat kind of a bad character.
but he was such a bad person that they could end the world without even meaning to do it there so bad now
That was a sort of conversation that made a little bit of sense in twenty. Sixteen.
because we have not yet seen what President Trump would do, but after you ve wash
for four years.
Don't you say you either.
a more that or you don't you can't. You know what you're getting at this point, though you
You know. In my case, I got pretty much exactly what I expected with one exception. This might be true for you to
the Trump did and didn't do was breathing.
That's what I thought he would do and what he wouldn't do. The the while
guard was covered and current of ours,
because nobody really saw them coming. I mean some of the experts predicted it, but you would, I didn't see it coming.
and so if you had asked me in twenty sixteen, nay, you think trumps given me the best choice readily this corona virus.
I probably would have said no peace me.
I've never been the corona virus pandemic. I don't know, is the best choice for that have no idea
but I would say that maybe wasn't, maybe maybe somebody else would have handled it better. I don't think that that's demonstrated. Yet there were things that I would have done differently things you would have done differently, but that's different from saying that we would have gotten a better outcome. Don't quite know that
we know we might have done things differently but anyway, so both it.
And SAM think that trumps, narcissism and is lack of empathy and and the only
for himself
all those things which are interestingly, unproven.
Meaning that everything you can measure looks a little bit better for Jobs
and all the things that you suspiciously. You can't measure.
how much a narcissism is in Trump and how much is too much for a leader they need a little bit, but how much is too much can't measure anything like that. So anyway, you have to watch. You have to listen to that. Podcast is genuinely entertaining
in legitimately. Are you say the size of the Trump rally crowds, I'm kind of blown away by and are you
I'm not going to list the crowds, because I think he had five on yesterday's five more today. Somebody says in the comments I had meant to say this as well, that make Amerika great again was a great slogan in twenty sixteen, but of course the president was playing
was turning it into keep Amerika great again, which didn't really didn't really fit right, keep Amerika great out just now very inspiring.
But now the krona virus head make America
grave again now clearly means before corona virus is harder to put that historical. We know. Is it a secret?
system Whistler's, unlike because we all want America to go,
where I was twenty nineteen,
much. Everybody was at least that much change, if not more so, I think make him
Great again turned into the greatest sly
of all time for this,
I can time in a row but for different reasons. The early the environment served up the.
Perfect situation away, when you watch the trumpet crowds is hard to imagine him losing, isn't it.
can brain rapid sat around the fact that you look at the Biden, crowds, the look of the calmly Harris crowds and then you look at the trump crowds
It's really hard to believe that he is gonna lose with that much energy. Now I know what the policy etc.
Barbara was on, I guess, Tucker Joe last night and Fox NEWS. You saying that talk
Biden below out has come down limit a week ago. Two weeks ago, people were talking about abiding landslide and it's just all. By now. The way you don't hear-
much of that today do you. It seems as if
right on schedule,
and exactly as I predicted publicly a number of times. Others did as well that the poles are fake,
in order to maintain their credibility after the election, because I can't keep that big margin.
And see some of the poles start to shrink and closed because they don't want to look so wrong when, when the final vote comes out, sure enough, you say your number
poles shrink then we are also seeing I went over to MSNBC because I wanted to see how they were dealing with things lately.
over there msnbc they ve got interesting
all that. I just tweeted that talks
the nightmare scenario where oh wait a minute,
there is actually a path for trying to win.
I dont know if they would have had the same nature of stories three weeks ago when they were trying to get donations and they were trying to get everybody fired.
but now they can say it so now they they need to do a little better than that. The cats on the roof situation, somebody in the common sustained fifty eight thousand people in
Pennsylvania. Whoever wins Pennsylvania will probably when the election Trump got. Fifty eight thousand people to show up in Pennsylvania if you
by you know, you need Pennsylvania to win. How does that make you feel you feel, like those poor results that used to show you in charge? Do you feel like them
they'll get what about the margin of error
Robert was asked about.
You know why it could be that the the poles are shrinking now. Breadth, of course, is not an opinion guys, a news guy, which we appreciate volume-
Just it's exactly why he's awesome,
is a really good job of keeping his opinion and of his his public statements just stay,
The nearest every was opining, and this is this is fair that as people get closer to election day, these
stop thinking of her being just about Anti Trump, and they see a stark choice. Now its binding or tromp. It's not just no trump wardrop by dinner trump, and that doesn't look so good, maybe
So that's a brat had that the hypothesis there might be some of that. You know I am in the same prediction a year ago that
when you're talking about a generic Democrat running against Tromp, that Generic Democrat always looks great.
Wait till you get an actual Democrat and wait old Trump Sixes football teeth into that democratic starts, re, framing them and and and turning them into his his to toy, which is what he did with boy.
With binding. So at this point as a real choice against a real person and that real person is binding and it's not quite the boy.
a wound scenario perhaps, but I think most of the correct me if I'm wrong but are not all of the swing states within the margin of error can certainly do me effect
back on that, I just made a claim. I think it's close to true, but not might not be true that all of the swing states are within the margin of polling error. Somebody do a fact check on that, where it might be true that at least there are enough of them within the margin of error, that the Trump has a path. If he got all those now, let's talk about that,
I would like to suggest that the idea that shy, trumps supporters don't exist or that they ve been accounted for.
It is wrong for a really good reason.
I'll it is clear that I've said it in the past because I want to get on record before the election just in case of right, and it goes like this
These shy trumps supporter is the one who doesn't want their name associated with Trump, because it might be a reputational problem.
And I've seen some Democrats argue against. Like this hey look at those rallies. It looks to me
like Trump supporters, are proud to put on their mega hat and shout their support for the president. So why
You think there are shy ones there
Somebody who's never met a Republican, were a conservative,
So in their bubble, the that comment made sense. Let me explain it to you. If you put fifty eight thousand trump supporters in the same place, it safe to put your hand up.
There are fifty eight thousand trump supporters where you are you're surrounded by them. You can put your bag ahead on nobody's, going to punch you totally safe. Nobody is going to Doc's. You nobody's going to take your picture with the intention of ruining your
Of course, of course, the rallies are gonna, be lit and they're gonna be extra, let because it's all the people who couldn't show their support.
Outside of the safe space of fifty eight thousand or some number of trump supporters.
Now. The other argument I heard, which was pure stupid. There are very few things that you can say. I know this is actually just stupid.
Most of the time you say: well, I have a different opinion. Re have different data or I've considered more kind,
tax than you have raised,
they can you look as somebody's public opinion site that one's just stupid and it goes,
Like this, I don't know, I don't know the name of the person who said it was unnecessary BC. I think
no? I see it and I think it was some experts who said the following expert, meaning pundit, not really expert but said the fall,
that they're probably is no shy, trumps supporter, because the automated poles get about the same response as the human being pole and is thinking.
I said: if he human calls you you might lie cuz. You don't want that human to think poorly of you. If you know, if they're, not a trump supporter- and you are,
So you say well, but you know you
I could lie if a computer calls you, because there's no person is that the dumbest analysis you ve ever knew
Has anybody ever heard of databases does anybody? Is this,
zeal the only parliament in the world who doesn't understand that, if a computer code,
you're home it.
So you are right.
And it knows who you are, and it's gonna attach your opinion to your identity and somewhere that can be stored in a database. Now,
Tromp supporters know that, because we
Oh, what a computer is initially
Computer calls you and ask you a question: do you think that you're saying something to the computer and then the computer is just flashing it and it is stopped existing the moment you tell the computer, your opinion. No, nobody thinks
they think it gets stored. So if you really were worried about your reputation or getting on record as being in transport
and you should because Democrats are directly directly-
no hinting going on there directly saying. Maybe we should round up Trump supporters after the election, they think Biden win.
And they should be re, educated or punished.
So if you're in the class of people who half of the country, the least
but within their half or talking Bout
finding your name on lists seeking you out and punishing
you and or re educating you like a chinese winger.
Here you might lie to the computer. I think you might live
a computer a little bit, but here's what the shies shy transport people are missing.
Biggest part of the polling. Error is not shy. Trump supporters, ok, and if you
I have been saying that let me modify that now: it's not the people, they exist, I'm sure they exist. People don't want to say the truth, but there is a much bigger group of polling liars as what I'm going to call the world's greatest dad joke. You ve heard me say this before think about it. Do you think that the and, of course, Republicans or lying to pollsters like crazy this year, like like they ve, never lied before? It's obvious, anecdotally, literally thousands of people, thousands, really thousands.
Of people have tweeted at me saying that they lied to pollsters. Now, that's just people who tweeted me, you know it's not like. I did a pole and I I scoured the country looking for any.
Lie to bolster thousands of people
told me on twitter lie to lie to M yesterday here: here's a text where I lied to the computer, and so I think the much bigger category is the
add joke people, the ones who are necessarily afraid of being on trumped supporting list, but they
it would be a hilarious
However, areas to see more pictures of that Hillary Clinton supporters screaming at the sky after the result is
Now we want to see that we do
see that that's a thing
and anybody and the Democrats are completely blind to this. The Democrats still think they shy Trump supporter means. You don't want to admit.
That you're a supporter, and they believe that the Poles have adjusted to find those people so that now the poles have made their corrections. Well, we're not gonna make that mistake again, and maybe maybe they won't make that mistake again. This is a new mistake this. If I'm right- and I feel very
and about this. By the way, I feel very confident that the people intentionally lying because they think it's funny because they think is funny, is the biggest category and if this dad joke lands- and I think it's going to it's going to be epic- it will be the best practical joke of all time
It will be talked about for hundreds of years for hundreds of years, people will look back in history and they'll say you know it was the greatest practical joke in history that all the Trump supporters lied to pollsters. I think that's worth going
And the thing that makes it a great dad joke just
in case you are not upon your dad joke. Humor is because the the left
has made it so dangerous to tell your honest opinion. If you're a republican, they made it dangerous to have free speech.
And so what would be funnier than screwing them.
With their own rule. You know thou and refund.
because the rule, as you can say, your job supporter, did you make that rule you didn't make that rule
that is not your rule, you're simply
following the rules.
You're. Just following the rules and the rules say you don't want
They are a Trump supporter of anybody else. I mean we ve been trained to do that right.
So that's what makes it extra super delicious is that we would just be,
people what they ask for demanded, I would say they demand. Will you not show any support for Trump? They demanded well, be careful watch ass for cash. You might get exactly what you're asking for, and I think that's coming down the line
Now, let me say this: somebody will be right and somebody will be wrong. Somebody's we'll be right and wrong after his election. You can be surprised. I can be surprised. The Democrats could be surprised, surprises a thing right. Will you can all be surprised
Personally, my head: isn't: gonna explode, no matter what happens,
I hope that you are all at least mentally prepared that anything could happen happen. I'm interested
Let me tell you the coup to plan could do. Is they second a coup attempt which I think is well under way and, of course,
sub speaking somewhat figuratively or am I or am I
is it a literal coup or
just sort of a lot of people who know what to do was-
Russia collusion plot. Was that an actual
literally a coup attempt, or was it
just a whole bunch of people who candid knew what to do. You know what I mean, because the the
line between the conspiracy and actual coup and just a bunch of people doing what they think they ought to do.
It's kind of a fine line. You know how many phone calls and meetings do you have to have
for your bunch of people, knowing just what to do turns into
the actual conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States by yours. What's shaping up number one,
Let me see the big picture is. I think Democrats have two ways to win. The presidency. One way would be to get more votes in the electoral college, so they can win it fair and square. That's one way, but there's a second way. The Democrats could win the presidency. That is the opposite of fair and square and they
for all of those pieces into play, so the chess Board is set up right now for the Democrats for a SEC,
way to win the presidency after
boosting the electoral college vote and it goes like this number one
Make sure that your poles running up to the election are so fake that, if the
actual results are different from the poles you can,
well. Obviously, this election was rigged by the Republicans, or
I was voter suppression or there was
Something illegitimate
It's obvious! Look at what the pole said.
then look how the vote went there, sir,
four different. It must be an illegitimate election for Trump.
So that's the first thing make the poles look fake. So you'll have an excuse later to say that the election was fake.
Let's see you do want to do, is accused tramp of voter suppression and accuse Republicans. Voters suppression so
wanna get that story out there. You don't want the first time the public hears about it to be after election day. You want the public to expect Republicans to cheat,
so that if they ve got anything that looks like it happened that there already primed it's like. I was expecting that to happen and there's my Evan
So the burden of evidence can go way way way down if you ve primed people to expect it to happen. Because then confirmation bias is as good as evidence as long as people are primed and they have primed people.
for that. So I say that
wins according to the vote as its counted them
Clayton was rigged and then what
there goes to the Supreme Court. You expect that happened right so goes to the Supreme Court and lets say that the Supreme Court wanting to protect its own, its own credit,
Billowy doesn't work by them to get elected because Biden was packed the court and make it basically non credible institution that was in the pocket of the presidency and the Senate because they can just
people to get any result. They want so well. The Supreme Court vote to make them
Elves irrelevant possess. What backing a binding presidency would do. It would make the Supreme Court irrelevant war it
risk it. We don't know exactly what Biden will do he says he's gonna do a commission, but what? If cobblers, is the president that can happen pretty quickly after a binding? When so, you would expect the Supreme Court, not only because their cons
it majority, but also because they don't want to make themselves obsolete that they would back President Trump. So whatever the question is, does this vote counter? Can these votes be counted as the election dawn, or do we have to wait whatever the questions? Are they go to the Supreme Court? Let's say they go
four Trump, which seems reasonable. So now the Democrats would have set the table by the fake poles. They would
people that trumps going to cheat, they would tell people that the Supreme Court is not legitimate, cuz, it's packed with conservatives and now what would they do? Well, that's not enough right. You need a little a
that wouldn't be enough to pull off a coup. Cuz people would still say: well, you know the Supreme Court's that it's so I don't like it, but I'm going to live with it. Alright, here's the other part, if Pres,
tromp travels outside the White House or he gets
let's say, there's too much of a threat and he asked leave. Let's say ten thousand anti far supporters surround the White House.
Could happen right? Could you imagine ten thousand twenty thousand angry
Testers surrounding the White House, two scenarios
one scenario is at the president or the first family are in the White House.
The other scenario is that he's on the road and he's travelling
If the angry crowd breaches the defences and starts-
taking a move on the White House to actually occupy it. If the present
or the first family are in the White House. You would expect that these security, which would be quite extreme, I would imagine, could shoot to kill.
Am I right now test? All of these all of these assumptions.
Cuz I may be wrong in my assumptions needs somebody like you like. It
bungee know somebody, you actually knows what you're talking about to tell me of my next assumption is correct, and it goes like this. If the
proud of protesters out numbers the security forces. It doesn't matter
how much the security forces fight them with batons,
number their number. So if you get enough protestors,
without deadly weapons? They
just soda overwhelm the defence of the White House. Now
If the president is in the White House, the security can start shooting. Am I wrong about that.
Because that would be an actual risk against the president, and I think that would be a real risk.
They wouldn't have to shoot everybody, but they probably shoot a few people. That would probably be enough to stop the stop. The the attack
So am I right so far that if the president's there they would use deadly force to keep the crowd away from the president now, supposedly suppose the security says,
We have to get you out of here, Mr President, and putting you in the underground bunker, isn't good enough, because you'd.
want to be in the bunker,
Oh the White House, if the way houses occupied did the worst place today,
We're gonna have to get you out of here.
Get on this helicopter helicopter goes
or let us say the president was just on the road for business.
If the why houses unoccupied by the first family.
Let's say the people work there know enough to get out of their source is paid.
Clear empty. Why else would the sick.
Already forces protecting it be allowed to use deadly force to protect an empty building. You
here I feel as though, if the building
is ever empty during whatever problems we have after the election. If
Ever becomes empty of the first family that the crowd, if it's big enough, might take ten thousand twenty thousand people or whatever. If it's big enough
They occupy the whales because I dont see american security services slaying a bunch of people for property. Am I right
We don't see them killing people to protect property.
As valuable as the White House is. If there's nobody in its property.
So does antiphon know what I just said: yeah they do. Of course they do. They ve been planning for awhile. Do you think that
to try to surround the White House if Trump wins hundred percent hundred percent they're going to do that
if the president, not there was say they occupy the White House right now.
You can imagine that can't you all overtake is a big enough crowd.
And the first family not being there that's all overtake, because I don't think we
If ever put enough security there to stop ten or twenty thousand people coming over the wall without shooting without deadly force, so why happens and here's here's the punchline? What happens if the crowd gets control of the White House? The Democrats get the Senate, they hold the and the house and they and the trust of the supreme.
court is diminished, what can they do them all they have to do from that point on is get the mainstream media to say, Biden has the President, that's it that's it and it could be enough
because the mainstream media week, we ve seen that taken brainwash the public into any damned thing. They would believe everything
so, if Andy, Foger control of the White House, the media declared that binding was the present and he goes back in because Anti far controls the waves.
It could get really ugly could so
I would look for, whereas the present going to spend election night- and I believe he said he might move into the white house- and I would think it might be because let somebody saying scott- nobody smart, listen to you all in capital. Nobody, smart! Listening to you, somebody's commenting in our capital, letters nobody's mark yeah end
if, if anybody shoots of protester, that's bad luck has, as you say, somebody saying, tear gas. I don't think so. I think that the tear gas wooden Sloan, then somebody says dogs again, not enough of them and dogs would be violence. Somebody says we ve been tell you about the mainstream media, for you
Well, I think we all knew what was going on there militia, not don't think they'll be any militias around the White House,
we also welcome other things so and then the last part of that is the twenty fifth amendment. So
You could imagine that the Senate and the House, if they were all Democrats, if their democratic control, they push the twenty four.
Amendment control. The White House do something to get rid of pants, like I suppose, and just pretend the binding one it could happen at all. They is going to happen. I think,
tromp will win. I think there will be a legal battle and then Trump will just be president and nobody lotta complaining trumps Eddie. He plans to claim victory
actually you didn't say this publicly, but their reports
He's telling confidence there he'll declared
we on Tuesday night. If it looks like he's a head, do you think that's a good idea. Do you think tromp should declare victory on Tuesday, knowing that there are lots of votes to come in by male? Do you think he should declare victory if he said now, of course, the the criticism is that that would be a destabilizing thing would be like a dictator or trying to take control when he knows that are more votes coming in and they could change well, I'm gonna have to back tromp on this one strategically he should clean.
Thirty one. If it changes he can make a second decision so there's all you can always make the second decision I claimed I one more votes came in, I they look like their credible Donna. I guess I didn't when so I you know.
I can say so. He could always change his mind. There's nothing to stop slap, but
First, really matters. So if he claims victory and the votes
Temporarily indicate that whoever goes first and claiming victory has like a little bit of an advantage because
it's hard to say. No, you didn't than it is to say I won serve if trouble
first says- I want if the numbers support that temporarily- it wouldn't be. The final number. I think it's just a good strategy, psychologically to sort of make it to to be first and make the claim, and
People argue against. The FBI is investigating the the Texas is incident, will whereby didn't little boss,
his Biden bus was surrounded by a trumpet pickup truck with flags, and at least one case, one of the trucks made contact with the car that might have been abandoned,
our something. So we don't know whose fault that was. I saw the video of it, looked like the trucks fault, but you don't know the whole story. The video can be misleading.
further investing that? But if you're a try?
supporter much do laugh or enjoy the fact that taxes pick up trucks ran bindings, bus and Texas? He had to cancel the rest of the stops.
How much do you like the fact that it happened? Even though, maybe you don't condone it? So
I would say, I dont condone Eddie, any kind of dangerous vehicular activity. If there was an
dangerous. While I enjoy it, I kind of them
Somebody did it. I just think it's funny that they chased, demanded taxes.
I tweeted a new analysis of mask effectiveness. What do you think you said so
a new member analysis, which means they looked at a number of existing studies,
And what they did was they said we have this criteria, for which studies we will look at so there
looking at anything from twenty twenty here mask research and studies from before twenty twenty.
They picked only ones that they had decided there. There was a criteria that they decide. It would be a good enough study
now? The reason you do better analysis is that you dont trust any individual study, so you're not gonna trust. Any one study you can look at a bunch of them and see if they, if the bunch of them lean in the same direction or not
that's what the Meta study debts and they remember, study so, which means it did not include controlled, randomized studies. It was the number of different things
that different types of studies, and they came to the conclusion that
they use them. Ass, mass by
healthcare workers and non healthcare workers can reduce
the risk of respiratory virus infection by eighty percent, eighty percent? So when they looked at the studies they say masks,
work and that not only do they work, they work a lot eighty percent and doesn't matter if your health care worker or a non healthcare worker. Your works a lot. So that's what the study say
now. Do you believe that somebody else could do another matter, analysis of masks and that their merit analysis would show exactly the opposite. The masks do not work, of course,
I haven't seen one.
What can we say with complete confidence? There? Probably there exists, doesn't mean, is right, but probably the exists
Somebody who did a meta analysis and found out that if they look at all.
a good studies and shows they don't work.
you know that exists now. I'm.
The pro mask side of things in terms of saying that they work,
Whether you should wear them is a freedom question which is different, but in terms of whether they would work if you wore them. My
my common sense. My judgment says almost certainly ass nothing's under percent biofuels. I certainly us.
So we have one other experiment that
gives you a little more information so
Carolina without trying to do in aid be test detonate, be test
and I've been calling for this before I kept saying, whereas
the city? That's just like
another city
where one, whereas mass in one doesn't and there were in the same
place with the virus at the same time and everything looks demographically similar and then you can see the mask. People get a good result in the non last. Don't, but she got it equally.
be careful about picking apple and an apple. So that's always the problem getting an apple
well, but South Carolina sort of.
actual version of this. Certainly
far short of scientific standard, because he can really control your comparisons. That well, but.
Is it so South Carolina? There were some places where they had mask mandates in some places they did that
and here was their results so far that.
The places without mask mandate so when they didn't wear, masks and South Carolina in some parts,
there was a over a thirty percent increase in the corona virus infections. So thirty percent, more infections when, where they didn't wear man,
but where they did. Where mass they or an overall cases dropped, fifteen percent is a convincing, that's a pretty big effect,
difference between thirty percent increase verses of fifteen percent- decrease, that's pretty big! So but again, is that a scientific embarrassed
Now you would need a lot more of these two to be confident that you were saying something. So
I would say that, while we cannot get to mask certain day, I would say that the the weight of evidence seems to seems to be in favor of them working somewhat all right.
The second lesson. Hoaxes there's
picture Richard Grenelle tweeted, this looks like a hoax.
bite and wearing a mask in public. But then these an airplane talking to somebody not wearing a mask. The hoax de bunkers tell us that the mask lists pictures from twenty nineteen.
So that's probably a hoax. If you see the mask lists and then the mass the button.
There's another hoax: where Biden there's a video of binding, forgetting what state is in which he has really done a number of times, but this one was edited. So there's a new one where it looks like you forgot the state, but he didn't so. Those are too.
two things are and through.
Lastly, our talk about so somebody channel
me in comments, because I
where's wears a James call me to talk about the bite and allegations of Hunter Biden and China in Ukraine, and all that- and I had stated
if there are then, if the FBI or the news had been more forthcoming instead of disappearing, no story that it might have changed the result? But somebody pointed out- and this was a perfectly
The question that I am also on the record as saying that when call did his press conference and twenty sixteen about Hilary is email that I've said that didn't change any votes. So how can I beacons
stunned and say they call me talking about Hilary Z, didn't change any votes, but I do think that if there had been a call me talking about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden connection that that might have changed the vote and here's a difference. Nobody cares about a technical, infraction of email servers,
that sort of just something that people talk about in the right wing? I've never met any Democrat
who care about hilarious email server, because even if it were true, I guess it's true that she had an email server that violated some
Regulations are rules or laws or something it just
never rose to the point of being terribly important.
Maybe in my mind.
Was very similar to the software packaging, taking off the thing and agreeing that agreement all the software restrictions
You didn't really yeah. It is sort of a tactical thing. I don't think it would have moved anybody that none of that turned into anything and other words that were
on the emails that later turned into something of substance.
so, even at the time.
Even when the when the story first came out, I said: that's not going to change anything people, don't care.
But a story about somebody being influenced by China. I feel like that. Would change votes, whereas an email, technical problem.
even though there is a real thing to worry about whenever we never discover the thing to worry about rights, and please tell me Mass get children
Fungus and bacteria, and all that yeah you know, I'm not discounting the fact that there are some downsized masks and downsides to shut down some downsized. All that I'm just saying that
By and large, if you wanna get rid of the pandemic mass or probably they parted lips,
tell you what I think is the the school of the future and what it looks like now that we're doing these, these terrible zoom classrooms
you can get a much better idea of what school should look like, because once everything breaks you can start thinking about from school,
here is what school of the future would look like number one.
Instead of having your teacher the same one that you would have walked to school and had in a classroom, teach you
Over
you would have the best teacher in the world teaching everybody, so there would be one best teacher for geometry.
and everybody would have their teacher now or could be one or it could be, and the best selling teachers who have created content that might be recorded, so it doesn't have to be alive. Teacher could be the best recorded lesson of
geometry lesson of all time. Then maybe you still need some teachers assistance to answer, questions and stuff, but imagine is the best of the best teacher. How different is that from your ever?
teacher and, more importantly, how different is that from the bad teacher that they get in the inner city, because they don't have a good tax base camp pay people as much it's a big difference.
there's that we are on the cusp of an enormous improvement in education, but right now we're captive to the teachers unions. So, as things stand right now after the pandemic will go back to the same bad system, there s been failing for years,
of kids being bored and going to class. So instead that here's. What I see is the future you will have theaters instead of classrooms, so it'll be like a little theater with a big screen that everybody watches the same screen instead of having their own little laptops, they might have their laptops to, but they be watching the big screens the same time and you would go there with kids. Your age were taking the same class, so the number one big problem with zoom school is that the kid doesn't get to leave the house
doesn't get to see their friends doesn't get any social life. Now we can't do that with krona virus, but assumes that's over. It would make me,
sense to get rid of regular schools have a place that the other, the fifth graters can go to, where there's an adult supervision, not necessarily teachers, and they can watch the best education.
In the world, talk among themselves, form groups, do their homework etc, and I think that something like Amazon will be the source.
for that I thank Amazon, will be selling the world's best your best selling lessons for three dollars.
so for three dollars. The entire class can get the best lessened ever created on this topic
We have big deal and then the the last part of this is. I think we have to get rid of the antiquated degree. So
donation where you can get a degree,
russian literature a degree in this is that I think that needs to be replaced with something like a talent stack model.
Where are you might not have something that would technically be a degree, but you, you have accumulated a bunch of learning things the fit really well together, and so you ve created like a superpower,
with your talent stack, so there's got to be some way to to get credit for. Having developed a talent stack whether or not there's a degree that's associated with that. Alright, so they said that
Erasmus, not really cause you're resume is a little wordy and, if you say
I have the skill, but on top of it I have this skill. You stopped at work a little bit to understand that they work together. But if you said here's my talent stack, I hear hear the things that I think work well together. That would be
a pretty strong package, so that's where I think we're going with this and Leslie teachers, unions screws again and I'm going
Try to join you tonight. I don't know for sure I'll try to join you tonight.
I understand that some of you can sleep. Unless you hear my calming words on these these dangerous times,
I do have by the way one threat against my house for election day. So there's
online indication that there might be some trouble at my house. I would like to suggest that if everybody was planning to create any trouble at my house, though, you should really rethink that, because it would be a really bad bad idea. That's all for now, and I will talk to you later.
