This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
From everybody come on in its time, it's time for coffee was caught out best time of the day and it'll be one of the best ones. Ever there, hey Omar Doktor, funk juice. You too good morning, everybody and if you'd like to enjoy today to its maximum potential- and I know you would all you need- is a couple of agriculture as a dagger jails, climbed kantian drug or vice versa. That kind fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
going benevolent, parallel pleasure government today. That makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous and
people all over the world will be joining in right now, go yet the oppressive stuff. That's all you can feel just going down, make yourself healthier as you.
as you digest really good stuff, while you want won't talk about all the interesting things in the news, I know you do know you do, but first a question for you.
What value do I do I produce that, would make you watch them.
In the era of big after tromp now,.
Tromp was in office loud people are watching me for my trump persuasion. Another comment
about him. But why would you watch now.
I'll tell you what I to try to do and look for some feedback?
I'm gonna, try to make sure that any time you watch me you're increasing your talent stack.
In other words, I'm going to try to talk about what's happening in the news, but that won't be the main thing. The main thing will be to try to get you to understand it better by improving your talent stack. So I'm going to make you more effective in your life, not just informed
That will be my my goal, so if you're wondering what to watch this, it will be because people do were getting smarter and better every single day and by the way, I think a lot of you will confirm that that's true.
in the comments? While I'm talk to you about other things, for those of you who are newer, tell me if you think, you've gotten anything valuable from watching me for, however long you're watching and that'll tell the other people what's up.
all right by didn't decided to bomb some factions in Syria that are being funded and supported by around in response to the arabian proxies hurting? The least one contractor in an attack to exhale now I would like to say that this is a good move by button. Now, if you, if you're tooting into me to watch me, say bad things about Democrats and good,
news about Republicans, I'm not going to do that. Nothing like that will ever happen here. I'm just going to talk about what works and what doesn't and you can you can play the politics yourself when, when Trump and pence one in twenty? Sixteen,
what about the? What I call the new ceo move, which is how you establish, who you are.
when a new sea always is hired, they'll often do something big and splashing right off the bat. There were baby fires and executives who needed it dil
Organize some things, but the idea is to establish who you are as the new leader right off the bat, because your first impression just has all this,
Power forever, whoever you are a day one. It's going to be hard to change that, so you want to get a right in the beginning, so pence and Trump did that when they started going talking to Ford and Carrie Irwin when they first got to let
before they leave advance warning, it was really really good. Can first move CEO can play and then Trump did it again when he fired all of his crews missiles into that airports.
To give Russia a little bit of a tap on the shoulder now Peter,
watching you said, while mighty the bees or of an over reaction or why our trump pure wouldn't military quickly, but it was a good positioning attack because it said I had news, also the mother of all bombs in Afghanistan, and I believe that Trump play that
Actually, right by establishing right up front, you don't know what I'm gonna do, which he would say that directly. You can predict what I'm gonna do, but you do.
see me drop the mother of all bombs,
You didn't see me attack that airport.
So just be warned, you don't know what I'm gonna do, but it could definitely include lots of violence. That is exactly the
Secondly, you want now by didn't, comes in and, of course, our adversary adversaries are gonna, be poker they're going to find out.
Do we have a little more little more freely
under this new president. We gotta be I'll, get a load get away with a little bit more,
and Biden has now said the following message now now you get now, I know you thinking was bided even involved in the decision. Is he so mentally degraded that its is staff whose may whom the decisions? I dont think it matters that much in this context, because whether its bite in calling all the shots or some Biden Cartel collectively making decisions, it looks to say that
messages, the same, which is. If you mess with the United States, there will be violence. There will be violence, there will be the response.
I heard someone on Twitter say Whitey ways along two weeks.
That's also perfect waiting two weeks to do your attack
Because it also sounds of the following message: you don't know what it's going to come, we're not going to forget it. It's coming might be today, maybe in two weeks, but the one thing you can be sure
its common now, of course, you want to do right, might take a few weeks to pick. The right are again get the right assets in place and all that.
so I'm gonna give Biden in a plus for friendly this situation. So far anybody disagree within it. Would anybody disagree with that?
read now either there is a secondary question and maybe it's not a secondary. Maybe you should be the primary somewhat our,
The Rand Paul position that there is no authorization for this attack and the president can just start a war, basically can't just attack in other countries.
And I think that that position needs our full respect. In fact, ran. Paul's position is not unlike Jan psyches position just a few years ago, when tromp was doing it where, where she criticized from trauma for attacking Syria, basically
not authorized all the rest now. Here's an interesting thing.
I don't really understand the whole situation with executive orders. Do you
Do any of you understand what's going on with, let's say the whole body of executive orders of the last few years, because I don't quite understand how the president can just sort of do stuff that you thought Congress was supposed to do have as the president just decide to just. Do it himself and then pay
obey it. Why do they obey it? What is it, what does anybody obey and executive order now? I know that there is different kinds, there's somebody
converters that are just a clarification on existing law and that's perfectly fine? Everybody's, ok with somebody Esta clarified, law, fair, fair game, maybe the court's afternoon. If people don't like other president,
the basic and process, but what happens when the president does something with executive order that the constitution didn't quite foresee? Do we let them?
I feel as If- and this is just speculation and need somebody smart to tell me how wrong this is. Goodenough.
I'll be pretty wrong, but it feels like the country has a great, let's say, a great flexibility with how they treat the executive. The president, when Congress isn't effective, because the Congress.
Such a low rating that we're happy. When anything gets done. You you see your government and make a decision and then implemented, and it goes well.
It's hard to disagree with it, because the alternative would have them to take it to Congress and nothing happens. A big fight, nothing good!
so feels as if it feels as if.
People are just sort of okay with executive orders, because the alternative looks worse, which is dependent on Congress for making decisions.
So are we sort of drifting towards dictatorship because people prefer it because the alternative is being incompetent having Congress muddle around yet another problem, of course, is that if you take it too far, let's say, for example, this latest bob-
the attack? Let's say that wouldn't trumpeted it and also invited did it that less say was extra constitutional meaning the constitution. Does employees support this act, but what, if the country does the country by supporting it.
By a majority, so I don't know what it feels like it could be dangerous, but on the other hand, I like it when it happens. Generally, I like it when something happens, so I think I do. I do like our presidency, including by.
to have some executive order power
the Congress and ran Paul and I think, ran Paul is- is a great asset to the country by pushing back on cause, you don't want the executive orders without the push back right any time this happens. Even if you
like the executive order, don't you have to also like the red Paul is pushing against it. You can like both of those things because they work together. Pretty
Well, it keeps the executive orders, maybe a little bit constrain Khazars and pushed back, but you still get to do it when their important. It's kind of perfect.
So thank you to Turann Paul for pushing back, but at the same time like like this, I like this action in terms of national security.
I've told you before that is handy to have a story of you here is the helpful part of my broadcast.
You should always have a heroic story of you, which is the
that sort of the imaginary story you have in your mind.
Who you are character, wise or who you are a capability. Why
as or for all, you are basically just who you are, and I've told you before, that my story and I'm going to add to this a bit. But the the personal story that I keep running as a little loop in my mind and always have is what I call prisoner island in prison.
Violent imagines that there are some island where all the prisoners go and there's no there's no law there. They just are dropped on the island and there's no guards or atheist prisoners society. So it's pretty rugged there. So I give convicted or something you then dropped by helicopter onto the prisoner island, well, Australia's a little bigger so that that doesn't work for my story. Revenges, the smallest smallish island and all the prisoners know each other.
now on day, one if you drop me in prison island. How am I gonna do.
also well right, because I'm not physically large, etc. So the prisoners would be me up, and rape me day one day two prisoners would beat me up
again day three day for look alike, up, raped up, raped.
three or four months go by being raped by hears.
Here is the the prisoner islands story.
The story I run in my had come back at a year come back in a year
In the year I'm gonna run the island and everybody touched me will be dead.
But you have to wait here.
Day, one won't go so well, they do not so good
come back an ear, they'll all be dead and I'll be running the island every fucking time now is that true now I just made it up. Right is just a story.
My head. Is it also true that I would fight through we owed adversity? Well, I'm trying to make it true right.
Do you think it's true, but having a story of you is like
programme, the rugs and you had permanently and they can make EU economic and
or you into that. By being the story that guide you
Take that story into this next news item:
there was a man, I guess is less name was Roger Go Paul. I think it was. India was India in Pakistan forget, but
these from the cardinal tacos Hassan districts, so somebody can tell me where that is, but
in writing as motorcycle Andy, Cheetah or a leopard, has not clear, attacked his family. Just like came
the bushes and attacked us embedded southern the leg and it starts attacking a southern wife, this guy,
Who is not some, you know he's not some like
fighter or
here, our Asia is just a guy, gets off
motorcycle kill
also the leopard with his bare hands to save his family? He actually grabbed the leopard and strangled it. Did it.
I heard in the process. Oh yeah, you dead, yeah, you got hurt,
but he also saved his family and strangled a leopard or maybe a cheetah, cheetah or leopard. I know it's pretty bad either way.
Now, that's the prisoner island story. This is
prisoner islands story. Now I don't
the thing about the guy who did this, but it makes me wonder, does
You have the prisoner island story in his head, some version of it
As he carried a model of himself through
live there when he
until this situation the model kick them.
And there was no doubt
who is gonna win the fight and that he was going to fight now, probably was just reflex of somebody,
because family. So probably there was a lot of thinking going. I was just reflex, but.
Whether or not he had the prisoner island story, this head here.
so now he hasn't now the next,
I'm guessing the situation that you and I would be frightened to death of he knows he can get through it. Bore- has gone through something similarly dangerous. So
Make yourself prisoners, island story, it doesn't have to be real. It just becomes the programme, the runs new
could come in handy if you were attacked by a lover. Have you
videos of the the Tom cruise deep fakes.
Look on my time line, if you haven't seen there, I don't even want to think about them.
So there are some discussion about whether the real deep fakes there actually
so good that you can't tell a thirty, fax, and some people are saying you got fooled- is really just a look alike. It's a look alike, pretending to be a deep think, maybe maybe I can tell
I can't tell if it's a real person. I also cannot tell if it's actually Tom Cruise was playing a break. It doesn't quite look like Tom Cruise to me.
Oh my personal opinion is it's not Tom cruise? I care rule out a look alike, but it didn't look. Allow I go now. Somebody says too tall enough. You can tell from the video his height but here's the thing.
that's how good a deep fake is right now that we can't even tell if it was really a defect. How good do you think the best ones are
this is just something that ran on twitter right is the subway and social media. How is the best one
don't you serve the third government, we will say government versions of this
We are aware, word were working on it for both offensive in defence of reasons, because I have to thank these deep fakes have a military application, let's through the roof.
what would happen, and you know we're working on this right, like I don't feel like I'm giving away a state secret cuz, it's kind of obvious. Don't you think
that our government and probably other ones, are pulling together deep fakes of other leaders and deep fakes of terrorists.
Don't you think if we had a good, deep, faker Osama Bin Laden, we could have gotten? We could have made some videos and put them into the system and cause people to act differently, because they thought up in London was giving them guns.
But we could end up now sure we didn't. I would we not right. We wouldn't know if we done that, nobody would tell you so
The the opportunity for weapons rising these deep fakes is really scared.
Cause imagine you get into a shooting war and we take the the deep fake of the leader of the other side
put him on a video, and he says: hey everybody lay down their weapons were surrendering his own military would really think it was true.
because everybody would even in the military they have some phones right or do they if you're on operation, maybe not because you could track the phone, but when they got back debase people would have
stuff right. So, even even if you're a terrorist
What's in the video, it wouldn't have to be empty of aid, it would just be circulated.
And they would be your leader, your terrorists, later saying
laid out your weapons? We got everything we wanted or whatever so that's come
Twitter is talking about having some kind of pay model where you good optionally charge people for extra content, maybe even newsletter
So the world is moving towards this subscription base, but twitter has arrived
hey big obstacle to overcome a psychological obstacle and the psychological obstacle is you used to twitter being free.
Once you get used to a big free people are going to complain. If there's any anything that looks like it's extra and it's on twitter, but you have to pay for it. It's really going to make people laugh,
Let me tell you: how are you gonna feel? Well, this
now I feel now are a real story. Was a twitter CNN whatever and click to see. The original story is beyond the pale.
or you have to go and figure out how to turn off your ads in your ad blocker, which is too much of a bother. I
say eyes skip almost everything. That's asking me for money or a password or or my email address, or to turn off
ad blockers and every time I go to one of those legs I get angry.
twitter users have that experience that could be like hey, that looks interesting click. I'd have to pay for that
Three years ago, do not have to pay for that. What would
happen. If everything is useful on twitter turns into a pay all.
Because that's the only thing that will be beyond the pale: alright good stuff, you're, not gonna your worthless stuff, beyond the pale all so
Twitter as a really big challenge handle the the customers psychology
As you know, I have a full subscription. The cat was separately on the locals platform, but the locals platform was built for just that. It is only purpose.
is to be a subscription platform, so there's no psychological barrier there. Nobody would sign up for it unless they knew exactly what they are getting so they're all happy, but if you used to being free,
people don't like you adding any kind of friction too that even if it's the extra stuff, because I gotta think we used to get the extra for freedom we, but I do think subscription is the way things have to go to twitter is making the right move. Issues can be hard hard to implement. In your case, I think they'll be success. Is successful.
at some level are right, but if you dont want to be banned, etc, something like locals would be better. Now I keep hearing about a new platform called clubhouse which, as I understand it, is some kind of open audio.
Conversations with some sort of rules- and I have received a number of invitations to it- I guess it's still invitation and I've. I've declined them also far. Now the reason that seven some says clubhouses chinese- that's not true. I don't think that's true. So don't believe that unless you see some confirmation, I don't think that's true, but you got my interest if it is true, I definitely want to know it.
Somebody says it's not a: U S! Company, I was sure, was a: U S company now the api they uses Chinese. Somebody says sorry so that maybe some connection, let's put that, is it open,
Fashion, but that's not what I was going for today, what I was going for, as I don't understand it. So this is an interesting thing.
House ever is talking about in signing up and everything so that there must be something to it, but I keep waiting to hear something about it. That makes me want to do it and I haven't
And I dont know what other people are hearing that makes some want to do it, because lots of smart connected forward
People are already offer them telling me I should be on it.
But I don't know, why does anyone know why cause? I don't think you could monetize era.
And if there is no video is less good some, he says
think life podcast. Well, I suppose, if they did a good job on the interface would be interesting. I'll, probably check it out eventually, but my only point is not that it is
or is not valuable, but why
heard so much about it, and yet nobody has told me what is value proposition is nowhere what you think they're almost any business
So a product that you hear about people will tell you. Why do you use it like what is extra advantages, but I haven't heard that about clubhouse and I dont know. Why does that mean there isn't any extra advantage? I guess all keep as an open question,
There's a big news about the minimum wage. Fifteen dollar thing that the Democrats would want to make national law
And I guess the there's a rules person who decides.
The parliamentary rules person in the Senate.
Has decided that they cannot include that minimum wage thing with this big omnibus bill.
there's some kind of rule says you can include things that are trivially related to the main purpose, and this is true
trivially related to the main purpose. I guess so
everyone. I don't agree with this pilot parliamentary decision. It might be correct in terms of interpreting the rules, but why does Congress
Put a rule on itself, but what's the point of that? Why would why would Congress limit its own its own
slowly. Somebody says as a rule as a rule, but why
Why is it a rule
Why in the World Camp the Congress say you know, we all think we all think this should be in this bill. Why can't we just put it in
Without bother you, as a citizen,
pure as citizen would bother,
that there were some weird rule that they collectively decided just ignore, because it wasn't a purpose for the rule. I can see that.
thus for it. Now I get that you don't want to have big messed up group things and you want to.
Maintain the ability to do Philip,
Esther like complicated, etc. But none of this stuff serves the Pollack. I don't think.
Somebody says in all capitals: you don't understand the Senate and House rules, I'm going to block you for telling me what I don't understand. Goodbye in all caps probably could have got away with that. If you had used all caps.
Don't criticise me at all caps if you want to come back
at the very least use upper and lower case, then you ve got a chance of surviving.
but you're not going to live with all caps and no reasons to some so kinda, weird Insel.
Because I'm telling you I don't know the rules, so you don't need a yell at me.
That I don't know the rules when its literally what I'm fucking saying to you. I don't know the rules. Ok swearing at a guy, you can hear me
So here is my take on the minimum wage suffering it about the rules the rule park. This has been you wish there could be some get something like an executive order.
Mitch Mcconnell, who can just say yeah it is a rule, but we're just going to ignore it because it doesn't serve us so.
What is your opinion on the fifteen dollar minimum wage? In the comments? Can I get a feel of the crowd? Yes, no, on the minimum wage going to fifteen dollars, it doesn't look like it's gonna, be an option right away, but what do you think I'm interested in my specific audience so take a second for the year for the answers to commend my opinion. It goes like this and I base us and the fact I ever degree in economics have an mba from up. I am
college, you know universally Berkeley and here's my opinion about these. Fifteen dollar minimum wage
every one of you who says yes or no. What are you basing Loretta.
Because I'm tell you I've got a degree in this. I don't know I don't offers good. How do you know
Where the hell did you get your opinion from seriously where the hell did you get these opinions because I dont think economists agree do they?
Wouldn't you like to see two economists, one on each side, just
get on the show and give you fifteen minutes. You don't need more, but you don't need less, just fifteen minutes of to economist on either side saying here's why it's a good idea and then the other one says this is why it's a bad idea and then maybe then I can make a decision, but have you ever seen that,
I haven't seen that I've seen complaints about people say issued, be different in different areas because
every areas. The same. Might I heard some places at my help. Some places now feels like a good argued.
I don't know how accurate is but feels are always lay. It makes sense. So here's my advice to you
If you ever really strong feeling about this fifteen dollar minimum
edge and you're, not a small business owner yourself, in other words, is not going to directly affect you immediately. Maybe you shouldn't, maybe you should have that opinion, because
take economists, I don't! I don't think all economists are on the same side. Do you do you? Do you think if you surveyed economists, they dolby like ninety five percent of them, would say either yes or no? Now I get the Milton Friedman argument, of course, that the free market
is that it is the best mechanism, but we don't really have a free market
we already have a free market. We
I have a very low say: will we do have a free market? We don't have an efficient market. That's what I should have said it is free,
but it's not efficient in order for this minimum wage to find the right level based on competition and the economy and everything else thing else, you need less friction in either the ability for things to adjust YO in real time fairly clear.
And all that believe that happens, because people don't have that much mobility there just too much
I think so. I have no idea whether this is a good idea. I have no idea.
what do you do when you have no idea. If something is a good idea, anybody anybody. What do you do if you're, not sure, that's a good idea, you test,
Which one of the which one of the sides, the Democrats or the Republicans arson
you know we can tell us. This is good or bad
why don't we run it for a year and Leslie one state, or maybe some selected counties.
we'll just testing for one year and then one now are the Republican saying that, where the Republican saying you know, we think it's a bad idea, but we don't hate testing things where's, that guy or or woman right where's. That person.
Or any gender you like the only thing we need, we don't
I can have am I wrong? Is there some story? I'm missing here. Tell me: I'm wrong
nobody knows the right answer, it would be,
trivially easy to test relative to big national taxes, easy.
You just say this county
over a year. Zero goes,
I don't understand.
Why we as a population are putting up with us. This is pure incompetence, because the the people making the decision- they don't know a fifteen dollars in hours ago
idea, do you think there's anybody in Congress?
was more than I do.
And I don't know much about Slowboy. I don't know much about whether
team dollar minimum wage is a good idea. I think so. Why is a good idea? I mean good
we all in the long run right all things considered, it's obviously good for the people get the rays most them if they keep their jobs.
So I don't think we can be happy with any opinion on this, and I would tell you that if you have a firm opinion, either
yes or no and the minimum wage you shouldn't. If you have a firm opinion on this, you should because smart,
people don't know like really well informed. Smart people, don't really know they might lean one direction, but without a test nobody knows
I've come to a potential,
decision about what's the biggest factor or factors in covered infections, and it goes like this.
I feel as if there are two things:
some of this is just speculation and a little bit of what I'm raining.
But you're some things we ve learned about the covert infections. We think number one in the. U K super,
basically, they say there is no real difference in minority outcomes for krona virus, except that they get infected more often.
But haven't we Alban under the impression that you
Genetic makeup would probably make a difference in your outcomes, but it might be that that's true, but that genetic difference is not necessarily ethnically related. In other words, if you read between the lines here.
Uk outcome. If we say the data holds any preliminary study like this, she can't you can assume is right, but less it is.
It would be saying that genetically there wouldn't be much difference across ethnicities, but there might be a big difference in terms of lifestyle and economic situation that baby was driving mourn
For example, at the lower economic and of things there might be more people living poorhouse could it could be that it could be there,
US healthcare resources could be that so
this this this maybe really important information. If it's true I'd, still wait to get a confirmation of this, so
That's the first new piece of information. There might not be that much difference ethnically, even though the outcomes are very different, might be lifestyle, not genetics, although they could still be and probably is a gigantic genetic difference across individuals, but not necessarily across
Unless these, which seems unlikely to me frankly but doesn't seem unlikely to you- that there is no difference in earnestly, feels unlikely, but that's
What we have here, then we also have an each as a university risk.
A study that says that that I'm sorry that was there was the genetic different study, but there's a additional study. The says that sixty three percent of U S, Hospitalizations Rico Govern- could have been prevented if we were.
Out so darn fat, so obesity, important as one study is responsible for thirty percent of the excess hospitalizations and the same sentences as sixty
three percent was, is written very poorly, so I don't know exactly which those numbers look at, because it looks like it's two different number saying the same thing, but there's a gigantic difference in obesity. Now we all knew that right.
We all knew that, but there is some kind of word I didn't write down. The says that it is sometimes is the combination of two things you need, the you need the co morbidity plus the virus. One by itself does doesn't kill you now
How do I do we call this a.
Thirdly, a virus pandemic when is clearly and obesity pandemic at the same time it stupid dynamics, if you call obesity opinion
But we sort of ignore one of them.
and pay all of our attention to the other one when there clearly both gigantic variables. Now I agree that virus itself is a bigger variable than obesity, but the obesity thing is so big. It's like you should talk about them
same sentence every time we've got a big problem with the virus. Killing are fat people right now. I don't do fat shaming, so I'm just using fat in a casual way not to be an insult. You know I myself have done a few pounds overweight at various times in my life, and so I don't
simply a fact that the Americans are overweight. So I feel as if the fact that we don't talk about that more is for what social reasons wildness there's some reason we can talk about people's health because they feel bad it'll be racist. Somehow, pure,
Here is the most predictable thing: what was the most predictable thing that would come out of the Tiger Woods thing and by and by the way I don't mean to make fun of everything that happens. To tell your words, we we all day you recovers, and it is a tragedy. I'm not gonna, take anything away from a bad. This is the most predictable thing
and I wish I'd send it in public because it was so predictable. Today we learn the woods. The tiger woods does not remember the crash was that predictable,
as soon as I heard that he was away,
when they found Emily, was coherent and all that, but that the
to a cause of the crash? Was unknown.
Soon, as I heard that I said to myself he's going to say he doesn't remember the crash he's going to say he doesn't remember what happened. What would you do in that situation? What would you do in that situation? If that were me, I would say I did
the crash because he might have been texting. I'm not saying you was, he might have had something in this system.
apparently he was not tested for any drugs. Now
I don't know if the rules are different in the UK, but because they were
there were no overt signs of drug use, already variation abbreviation other words, or there is nothing in his car. This suggestion he had taken something
and nobody knew no eye witnesses who said I always on put something in his mouth or anything like it. So if you know
have any cause is just an accident. I guess they can't check.
So Tiger woods can just say I don't remember.
They won't ever check is blood to find out. If you is inebriated, it looks like you can just go with our story that he doesn't remember and he'll be fine from any kind of.
precautions, so I dont think anything was more predictable than he would say. Doesn't remember, do you believe it do you believe he doesn't remember. I'm gonna go on record as saying no, I dont believe it is not impossible. Traumatic very dramatic could be that the cause of the accident was
they blackmail. So then, of course you will remember, it certainly looks like a black down. Doesn't it wouldn't
say that the odds are based on how far the car went etc. You have to think he wasn't conscious. Wouldn't you

A tear is coming to my eye because, but why didn't he knows how to bomb Syria in a responsible way, not the way Trump did it with his irresponsible taunts, no trump bombed. Syria, the wrong way, whereas Biden he's bombing Syria in a responsible way, so big difference, hair.
Jamie, so China apparently did some covert.
A sense of the? U S, diplomats, and

Sided to shove, something up our diplomats asses, they complained. The diplomats complained about China shoving things up their asses, and
China set out an error. There was a mistake, sorry didn't mean it sorry

Would he do whereby than those likely to do complain.

put in travel or I don't know, there's probably some repercussion, so I don't feel this can go on a dressed. Do you should not be underdressed? I think Trump would have addressed it. I don't know if Biden will.
There's a new story of a classroom
My assistant, who didn't know his zoom we're still.
there. He may
he may have done a turban, he may then you may have been doing little tubing when the camera was thought, so
And here's the funniest part is that the
Young man, the twenty one year old, employ.
here. He rightly also aside company. When he's not be an assistant schools, you also runs pirate magic businesses.
Pirate parties for youngsters
while he portrays character named captains,
bones lemme give you. This advice is on good advice for you and you can take this back if there is any chance.
but all the you're gonna get caught masturbating on zeal? Don't have aside business
Besides this, he called by re parties and don't call yourself captain syllables, don't do that at the same time. That's like a co morbidity, one of those things just by.
twelve Leslie, the pirate parties, one of those things myself. That's fine.
pleasure yourself in private. Far, as I know, still totally legal, totally legal.
it's only a problem. When you combine the two things are resumed. Call you don't be silly bones, I don't think he's gonna get book for another party.
Let me give you some advice that you will find very useful.
Let me tell you what I do the moment. Undone, I'm done with these periscopes moment, I'm done with them. I've got I've got to screens here too Ipad that are facing me where I would sit.
I offered us the first thing I do after I turn these off. They turn them this way so you're looking at each other now.
The first thing I do when I'm done with any kind of resume call on my laptop first thing, I do close leapt.
So let me suggest to you that,
You never assume, never
They you're not on live stream cause, that's how you lose your pirate parties. If you know what I mean Everest,
So as a habit, you should physically move your camera out of viewing district when you, when you're done every time and just do it every time.
as it has a habit of genuine wake up, call was when somebody discover that I guess more executive org puts too
over the camera on his own laptop now. Do you think Mark Zuckerberg understands the world of security in and what is or is not a risk? Oh he does and if he is covering up there
IRAN has laptop. Maybe you should to now. He is more of a target than you
our about you're all targets yet and said with a heart MIKE just assume you're always being listened to?
I've got a number of digital products here. Everything from my phone to my Amazon, Digital assist,
So I just assume that, on the record and all the time, I just assume
I just assume, there's nothing. I say even in the privacy of my own home, even in the bathroom I just assumed the somebody's listening or cooked doesn't mean they are listening. They just technologically. They cook all right.
Obeying boring, is how I protect myself CNBC bad this story, and I think it's important those CNBC, because as a major major network right,
Bill gates was asked about nuclear
our at least absolutely will be politically acceptable again, which is an interesting way to make the production. I think he was asked a specific question, but a-
The bill gates, who most of you would associate with the left when you now, I don't think he associates himself. That way, I doubt I mean, maybe
Democrat. I don't know, but he seems more like a problem solver than political animal and
He's saying as clearly as possible, nuclear power will absolutely be politically acceptable again.
and you say he points out that a safer than oil call and natural gas. The reason it will be acceptable is safer and then he goes on to talk about one of the companies he's invested in terror power. It's the generation for nuclear power that camp can't meltdown and smaller, more economical, it's more off the shelf peace.
You can transported easily etc so that we may be years away from making that commercial, but it really does matter the bill. Gates said this is his yes credibility with the left nicety. He thinks climate changes are big problems. We get credibility.
Here's the other, the other observations gonna make about covered. I feel like
besides obesity. The other biggest factor is how many strangers you lead in your house,
And by strangers I mean anybody who doesn't live there normally so.
I feel as if, if we controlled one variable, we would get through the pandemic quickly. Now, maybe the vaccinations will will get us here on time anyway, but if, at the beginning we had only done one one restriction, I think we'd already be done now.
The restriction would be don't let anybody inside your residents who is not resident.
unless Europe could be the plumber with a mass grave, but nobody to visit now.
Even your attitude and family members. I feel as though that one restriction of nobody in your residence except the residence for a month we be we'd, be pretty well done. I feel like now you wouldn't you re the affection, but you might get down to a low level now. Does anybody disagree that can suddenly, like over fifty percent of infections,.
It's worse than the winter, when you're indoors, somebody says I thought we did that now we didn't really do that when we we sat down
Yeah, you don't wanna socially mingle, but I don't think anybody took his seriously inside their own house. I think everybody less their other fear
numbers? I think everybody lets the boy friend the girlfriend come over. I feel like inside the house. There are no rules and that, probably that was the main problem, probably the main problem, and I would also think that you could solve that was statistics and publicity. If you, if you stop somebody in the street
them. What what's the main place, you got infected? What would the average person so think about it
you're probably way more informed than the average consumer. Just the fact you watching it alive stream about the world politics, the average person isn't really paying attention to too much news on average. So stop the average person the street and say to them. Where do you think most infections happen? What would they say about? They wouldn't say home about most people say: well, they closed the restaurants and gems. It's probably restaurants and gems, or they may say, must be the workplace because, whilst would they do the lock them, but I'll bet, it's not
I'll bet, if you simply produced enough statistics to say look most of it is because your loving somebody in your little on air circulated space who doesn't leave that less than most of it. I think if we just just hammered out the hammer,
people with dont. What the real numbers was like fifty six percent is in the home and just keep telling people that site
It's because you
Use Europe, your app on tender right or whatever it is so.
That's all I have to say about that now.
Who has an interesting poll in which they were asking about people's opinion of some national leaders, know how I've been tell you. Why is there not like a new national leader, and then I said
Mayfield, a spot here? Are some names, I'm going to tell you the names that they pulled and let me see if you can guess who has the highest favorability at the moment with the public. So this is it. This is the entire pie,
the names they tested were. This is Rasmussen, Kevin, Mccarthy, Mitch, Mcconnell, Nancy, Pelosi, checks, humor and Elsie now add together there too favourable categories, the highly favourable.
Than the normal favourable and who, among those do, you believe, had the highest favorability. Taking guess we'll see in the comments how plugged in you are to the national consciousness. Most people are getting a yo see, but I think you're. I think, you're guessing that, because you think that's go the answer, because why would I bring it up? I always talk about EU sees persuasion, sleep I feel like I've, biased the serve. I think I've biases survey to watch. You tried to guess what it's gonna be.
Here's the answer, Cavern Mccarthy covered Mccarthy has the highest favourable. We in this group, what what
Our lab did you see that come now.
I dont think that national means as much as you might think it would mean it could mean,
The he's just less controversial.
The others have some specific reasons, your Mahathir, but I can't think of a specific reason to be mad at Kevin Mccarthy. Can you are getting
I guess scandal or was the other.
Alongside of something or it could be
they just hasn't causing trouble and their people respond to a specific story. They remember more than they respond to the average
So here you're the numbers so Kevin.
Dorothy, if you add, is too favourable categories together. Forty three percent compare that to Morocco
twenty nine, so big difference compared
a policy of thirty. Seven, surprisingly good.
humor authority to air sea at thirty four
If you look at this, would you say to yourself my goodness: Kevin Mccarthy should run for president because he has substantially like thirty percent higher favorability than ever.
It doesn't work that way, because our primary system does like the exciting people.
Right so I would say the AMC already has enough support to win a primary. I think she already has enough support to win the primary for president someday. If it doesn't change.
but certainly raises a question about Kevin Mccarthy if he has a bigger ambitions to run for president. That would be interesting. So
us, but that name out there were all looking for our next leader.
And it's very interesting that he doesn't have obvious negatives.
yet it could be that just as the lowest profile mean somebody says that the comments that just people dont know as much about him little. They don't have a negative feelings, though they say eyes. Ok, it could be just that, so you have to be careful about averages if I've,
Are you anything at all remind you this? This is what I call the the Hollywood way of looking at favorability
and I learned this what I was doing. A Dilbert tv show which never made it to the are we did. We tried to do a live action, one with real actors. They animated wanted to eventually get on
But when I was testing that we made a pilot, we brought people into a room and they have their little buttons that they push when there's something they like this happening on the screen, and I asked the executive. What are we looking for? Your average approval of the tv show would would suggest it would be a hint and the executive said we don't look at the average cuz, that's useless.
really interesting to know we look at how excited some people are. What you want is that a few people- maybe ten percent of the audience just thinks- is the best thing that ever seen you don't care about the other
Andy percent, because most shows are not watched by ninety percent of the public. A huge hit, whether it's a saw movies tv show, is because ten percent of the public who loves it. That's what makes it so we're Dilber. If you asked the average person hey about this Dilber Comic, the average person was now for me, but something like ten or twenty percent of the public who has a job and relates to the situations etc, will cut it out by the book, get the calendar
And that's enough to make Dilbert wildly successful, so be careful when you're looking at average favorability cuz, it doesn't predict. What does predict is if you're wildly hating or loving an individual, such as a Trump or David
so Kevin Mccarthy doesn't have the wild hate or the wild love in that usually does not predict national success at least running for president success,
but how hard would it be for him to learn that order is will say,
to adopt a persona that could get an elected. Probably could probably could do it. I would guess he has the capability to raises game, but we'll see that's all I got
yeah. I know about the brains behind day who see there's you know she was sort of selected and groomed and there was a mentor who probably made a big difference, but here's the thing: everybody who thinks she's, not smart, you're, all wrong, say what you will about politics. She's really is
art. I hate to tell you, but it's obvious, if you're still judging areas like the bartender you're, so missing, what's going on she's, smart,
most of our members of Congress are most that's, not even unusual. That's how they get elected somebody Sosius misinformed. My point was
That her mentor may have taught her a lot, but if you factor in how quickly she would pick up what she learned, the mentor may have, you know already give it all he could give. There may not be more more to give their all right,
When, as Elsie ever faced a tough interview, you say
I wouldn't worry about that at all. I'm pretty sure she could handle a tough interview and she does what what Trump does, which is and she'll do the big ask that you think is ridiculous, but then it ends
well, cash negotiates towards the middle I'd. That's all we got for now and I'll talk to you later. Are you tubers someday, says even floods, the sun
I'd have to say with some examples: lamp her her public speaking is so good that I can imagine that she would be bad in a tough interview, who's going to jail for the fraud which fraud. Let's see just four years of your questions,.
She is one generation removed from my while there's a lot of Margaret Hooper, not good how'd. You bruce your arm. My arm bruised swear no ETA Bruce. You knows where I guess you will hear my arm and I can't see it, but I can see that this lightnings different, if I have no idea- must have better than something.
This is not a bird Bruce. I just don't know how I got off now and I'll talk to you later.
