ng we've been over and over and over and over again.

Now when you say we do you mean do you consider yourself part of the left?

I am part of the left. But when I say we I mean everybody because I don't think anybody got it right.

Well nobody, except for you.

Maybe we'll see if I get the Kamala Harris prediction right will you admit that it wasn't a black swan? In other words you're, I know I don't mean it was a black swan. I said you're a black swan. Oh I have a black swan. Okay you're like sort of consistently kind of. That's why people find you so fascinating because you look at things from a different way and it actually works.

I was thinking about this when I was learning to play drums and I've been, this will make sense in a minute. I was watching some Dave Grohl, of course famous musician, plays lots of instruments. And he was talking about learning drums and the drummer that he hired was talking about it. And I'm amazed at how many professional musicians learn to play their instrument without taking a lesson. Now some of it is they just have some natural talent but I think that some of the magic, when people say how come nobody drums the way Dave Grohl does, considered by many the best rock drummer of all time, and you see him do it, he just doesn't do it the same way as other people. And likewise other great drummers, they simply don't do it the same way. They've got their own thing. And I think a lot of that has to do with not taking lessons and not going through the grips on the guitar, playing it like left-handed and upside down. The people who are self-taught, they end up looking like more of a better product if it works out.

Now in my case I'm a terrible artist who tried to become a cartoonist. Now because I didn't go through art school and I was just sort of working it out on my own and trying to figure out what kind of marker pens worked on the paper and I mean just all of it I just had to work out on my own. And I think that there's something to that that makes it look special when you're done because you can see it came out of one person's mind. And when you're looking at art you can tell the difference between the committee art and a one-person creation and it's really striking. You would know if a committee painted a painting. You just say all the parts look good but I don't know it doesn't hold together for some reason. It doesn't touch me. But then you see something made by one crazy Van Gogh or something you go whoa, whoever made that that's an art. I don't even know how you would make that if you tried to copy it.

So I wondered that about how I got here, not going through any normal paths to be a person talking about politics. There's some benefits to working it out yourself and it makes you an original when you get there because you didn't learn it right. So there's something about not learning it right that I find very appealing and it works for me but maybe not for everybody.

In fact if you can persist in your folly you'll be a genius kind of a thing.

I'll give you the simple version of this. I wrote about once the best way to be a creative person is to try to copy somebody else you like in that field but do a bad job of it. Because other people won't recognize who you copied because you're not very good at it. And that's exactly what I did. So I tried to copy Gary Larson's art and I tried to copy some art from Mad Magazine and some other people and I would try to do it the way they did it as best I could. But if I would draw a character trying to make it the way Gary Larson would draw it it wouldn't come out right and it would look like my own character. But it was still okay because it looked original. So doing a bad job at copying other artists makes you look creative. So that's the easy way to get there. All right, thanks for the question. Thank you.

Let's try Kim. See if Kim has a question for me. Kim, do you have a question for me? All right.

Is your current thought about whether the virus was released from the Wuhan lab versus not? Well would you say released? It was, I mean I've seen possibilities. There was an accidental release. I don't think there's any chance anybody did it intentionally. Is that the question?

No I was actually wondering if you've delved into whether it was naturally occurring. It came from the wet market process.

Well you know that's in the category of things we'll never know for sure. But if I had to bet on it I'd say 80% chance it came from the lab, 20% chance it came from all other means put together. So 80% chance. That's what it feels like to me. But we're all just flying in the dark here. I'm just saying that if there's such an obvious way it could have come from a lab and we know it was there and we don't know that there was ever anything like that in the wet market because they didn't have bats, it's leaning that way. So 80% chance. That sounds fair. I'm with you on that.

All right, well you have time for one more quickie.

Okay. I'm the unusual animal of being a conservative who loves Elon Musk and I've noticed that he has now become red pilled let's say about governmental fascism. And I wonder if he would disrupt the next industry to disrupt would be the news using satellites, his satellites that he's launching.

I've never seen any indication that Elon was sort of interested in the news business. It doesn't. That's true. He has called for something called Pravda which is a website that would check the truth. Yes he has ventured towards that but that's more of a fact checking on the news as opposed to recapping the news. I don't know if he has an interest in that. But it does seem to me that you can't be a proper billionaire without controlling some part of the news. I think Jeff Bezos and also Carlos Slim with the New York Times, they've sort of set the standard that if you're going to be this rich it'd be nice to have your own news organization.

Exactly. And Fox has lost its way so I think there's an opening there.

Well has Fox lost its way or are they trying to show a little bit more diversity of opinion? I don't know. Because you can see both, right? It's not like anybody's telling Hannity what to say. Nobody's telling Tucker what to say. So you can't say Fox lost its way if their biggest talent is doing whatever the hell they want just like always. I do think guys like Tucker and Hannity, Laura Ingraham, the big opinion voices, I don't think anybody's telling them what to say. I don't think their bosses are telling them. Maybe but I'd be surprised on the big stuff anyway.

So the fact that
