00:00:00.000 Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
00:00:09.700 bum bum bum bum bum.
00:00:13.040 Hey everybody, come on in.
00:00:16.320 It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams.
00:00:18.980 Is it going to be a good one?
00:00:21.080 No, it's going to be a great one.
00:00:23.800 So great that you'll be wondering why I held back until now.
00:00:30.000 Yes, that's how good it will be, just like every morning.
00:00:33.300 The simultaneous sip is the highlight of the day,
00:00:36.840 and all you need to enjoy it, I think you know,
00:00:41.700 but just in case someone is new,
00:00:43.920 you need a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stein,
00:00:47.560 a canteen jug or flask or a vessel of any kind.
00:00:51.340 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:55.100 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,
00:00:57.660 the dopamine hit of the day,
00:00:59.220 the thing that makes everything better.
00:01:02.660 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.
00:01:05.320 Go.
00:01:09.940 I feel the herd immunity level dropping.
00:01:17.820 Yes, we'll have herd immunity probably at 1% now,
00:01:22.100 if you all did the simultaneous sip.
00:01:25.000 If some of you decided not to do the simultaneous sip,
00:01:28.420 well, I make no promises.
00:01:30.740 See, that's my out.
00:01:32.600 All right, let's talk about the news.
00:01:35.880 Chicago is falling apart.
00:01:37.800 It's being looted.
00:01:40.560 And I still don't care.
00:01:42.280 I'd love to.
00:01:44.960 I want to care.
00:01:46.800 But I don't feel like I should care about people more than they care about themselves.
00:01:52.380 So I'd say that Black Lives Matter is completely discredited,
00:01:56.920 which is sad because it was only a month or so ago that they were riding high and looking very credible in their claims.
00:02:06.980 But time goes by and now Black Lives Matter has morphed from a sincere concern by most people who are marching
00:02:15.460 into some kind of a Marxist looting opportunity based on bullshit.
00:02:25.560 So I feel sorry for the people who are trying to make a difference,
00:02:31.100 because if you've associated with Black Lives Matter, the organization, not the idea, but just the organization,
00:02:39.060 you have chosen a bad horse to ride.
00:02:42.120 So the highlight films from the looting in Chicago, the big game, big game in Chicago,
00:02:49.900 were fun to watch.
00:02:52.280 And that was all I cared about it.
00:02:55.100 I just can't care about Chicago more than Chicago cares about itself.
00:02:59.940 I don't think it works that way.
00:03:01.700 If they really, really cared about themselves,
00:03:04.940 well, they might act differently.
00:03:06.480 And then I would see what I could do to help.
00:03:08.200 The fake news story of the day is that President Trump was trying to figure out
00:03:16.800 how to get his face on Mount Rushmore.
00:03:20.180 Now, when I say fake news,
00:03:23.940 you know, we live in a world where nothing's quite as clean as it could be.
00:03:28.920 Is it possible that the president had once mentioned to the governor of North Dakota,
00:03:36.360 South Dakota, whichever Dakota,
00:03:39.280 that all the Dakotas are alike?
00:03:43.360 I mean, do you really need a north and the south?
00:03:46.180 It's a little bit overkill.
00:03:48.480 How about just one Dakota?
00:03:51.560 We don't need two.
00:03:55.400 But anyway, is it possible that the president ever asked about what it would take to get on there?
00:04:01.440 Yeah, it's possible.
00:04:03.780 Totally possible.
00:04:05.480 But how serious would he have been?
00:04:09.180 Well, maybe you look into it.
00:04:11.720 Now, the thing that I like most about President Trump,
00:04:16.360 other than he's just damn entertaining all the time,
00:04:19.220 is that he doesn't seem to have any limits on what he thinks is possible.
00:04:24.940 To a large degree, that's what makes him successful.
00:04:29.760 He has that anything can happen.
00:04:32.040 I can be president.
00:04:33.120 I can build a building.
00:04:35.240 I can become a billionaire, even if I've lost all my money.
00:04:38.820 So he has this sort of indomitable, why not, attitude.
00:04:43.640 So if you take the person who won the presidency against all odds,
00:04:48.600 did some amazing accomplishments, in my opinion, even already,
00:04:54.960 would that personality at least ask the question?
00:05:00.820 I'm just asking.
00:05:02.960 Hypothetically, what would it take for a president who did a really good job,
00:05:10.340 you know, just for example, to get an extra hat up on there?
00:05:14.940 What would it take?
00:05:16.020 Is it possible that President Trump ever asked that question?
00:05:20.760 I hope so.
00:05:23.640 I really do.
00:05:25.300 I hope he did.
00:05:26.940 Because that's the guy I like as my president.
00:05:30.180 I like the guy who might say,
00:05:32.460 I'm not saying it's likely, but let's just feel it out a little bit.
00:05:38.660 If you can tell me that you genuinely don't appreciate that,
00:05:43.320 that that's who he is, I don't know.
00:05:48.060 I think you're missing the best part of him,
00:05:50.020 is that he literally thinks there's nothing out of bounds,
00:05:54.120 in terms of, you know, the possibility is in terms of good things,
00:05:58.080 specifically.
00:05:59.800 Is it possible that a staffer once contacted somebody to ask what the process is?
00:06:06.600 Could be.
00:06:07.100 I mean, it's as likely fake news as not, right?
00:06:10.880 Whenever you hear the anonymous person did something.
00:06:14.120 So when the president says it's fake news, that's probably true.
00:06:17.880 That's probably true.
00:06:18.760 It's probably fake news.
00:06:20.280 But things are not always yes or no.
00:06:23.920 Is it possible that a rogue staffer could have asked about the process?
00:06:29.600 Here's why that makes sense.
00:06:33.280 If I were, let's say, on the campaign staff,
00:06:36.480 or just the staff in the White House,
00:06:38.600 wouldn't you kind of know if,
00:06:40.520 wouldn't you want to know if there's a process?
00:06:43.240 Because if there is a process,
00:06:45.520 how hilarious would it be to start it going?
00:06:49.880 You see where I'm going?
00:06:51.520 So CNN reports it like it's a case of trying to get on there.
00:06:56.820 Maybe.
00:06:57.620 Who knows?
00:06:58.180 More likely, you just ask the question.
00:07:00.760 Because, hey, you never know.
00:07:02.720 But if a staffer contacted to ask what the process is,
00:07:07.560 the calculation you should do in your head is,
00:07:10.920 how would it look if he was already in the process?
00:07:15.280 And obviously, you could get enough Republicans to vote for it,
00:07:19.340 to sign a poll, do a petition, fill out some paperwork.
00:07:23.000 So if there is a process,
00:07:25.960 wouldn't it be funny if he were in the process,
00:07:30.740 even if he didn't think it would necessarily culminate with him being on there?
00:07:34.960 It would just be sort of delightful.
00:07:37.800 It would be sort of like being nominated for the Nobel Prize.
00:07:42.160 Because, you know, it's better than nothing, right?
00:07:46.280 It doesn't mean you're going to get it.
00:07:48.440 But it would be kind of hilarious to have that process going.
00:07:52.460 So could a staffer have done that as sort of a strategic thing
00:07:56.360 because it would look good and it would be funny?
00:07:58.860 Maybe.
00:07:59.920 Maybe.
00:08:00.360 But I think fake news has got to be your first go-to on likelihood.
00:08:07.600 Now, there's a...
00:08:10.800 I can give you a sneak peek of some information
00:08:15.620 that's going to come out in a few hours.
00:08:18.820 So Rasmussen will be reporting this morning,
00:08:23.020 but have not yet.
00:08:24.180 I got permission to tell you this in advance.
00:08:27.260 But they're going to show the Rasmussen poll
00:08:31.420 that 59% think Biden is unlikely to finish a four-year term in the White House.
00:08:38.300 59% think he won't finish a four-year term.
00:08:45.220 Now, as you know, CNN has quite hilariously decided that...
00:08:51.100 And I think the Washington Post and some other anti-Trump outlets
00:08:55.000 have hilariously decided that their defense of Joe Biden
00:08:59.740 will be the Monty Python defense.
00:09:03.860 If you don't know the Monty Python defense,
00:09:06.740 I'm not going to do a Monty Python scheme or sketch
00:09:10.820 because it's been done to death.
00:09:13.080 I will, however, bring in Dale
00:09:16.380 to give his full-throated defense
00:09:19.900 of why it is that Joe Biden
00:09:22.100 is clearly, clearly mentally competent.
00:09:27.080 Dale, could you come over here?
00:09:28.780 We've got some questions about President Biden.
00:09:31.920 What's the question?
00:09:32.760 Well, the question is,
00:09:33.980 why do you think he's mentally competent?
00:09:37.160 Because we're all watching him talk
00:09:39.540 and it's not looking good.
00:09:42.400 But you're pretty sure he's mentally competent.
00:09:44.480 Dale, can you come over here and explain this?
00:09:48.940 Sure.
00:09:50.460 It's obvious.
00:09:52.900 Have you seen the man ride a bike?
00:09:56.300 Proof.
00:09:57.540 I don't want to get all science on you
00:09:59.480 because I know you're a denier.
00:10:00.660 But when you see the science of the bicycle riding,
00:10:04.960 I think that's pretty, pretty much
00:10:08.040 puts the lid on those rumors
00:10:10.680 about Joe Biden's competence.
00:10:14.660 And, moreover,
00:10:16.240 I think you would agree,
00:10:18.660 he didn't just ride it in a straight line.
00:10:22.920 He took corners
00:10:24.420 and he took a well.
00:10:26.900 He took corners on that bicycle
00:10:28.520 like, I don't know,
00:10:31.580 like, you know,
00:10:32.900 a 25-year-old man
00:10:34.040 could barely make a corner like that.
00:10:36.020 It was almost 45 degrees.
00:10:38.420 He took it with no trouble at all.
00:10:41.500 And you know
00:10:42.340 that you can't have a mental incompetence
00:10:45.600 and ride a bicycle.
00:10:48.260 What?
00:10:50.200 Okay, I'm being told
00:10:51.500 that you could totally ride a bicycle
00:10:53.660 if you were mentally incompetent.
00:10:56.860 But that's not what's happening.
00:10:58.520 You could tell by the way
00:11:00.120 he is riding it.
00:11:02.080 The style of his riding,
00:11:04.160 the capability,
00:11:05.740 the competence,
00:11:06.780 the corners,
00:11:08.420 the way he turns,
00:11:09.800 that just speaks
00:11:12.360 mental competence,
00:11:13.460 I think,
00:11:14.200 pretty clearly.
00:11:16.920 And scene.
00:11:17.920 So,
00:11:20.100 the hilarity of,
00:11:22.940 if you didn't see
00:11:24.080 Brian Stelter's defense,
00:11:27.020 and now there's a
00:11:28.120 hilarious
00:11:29.080 blog post
00:11:31.100 on CNN
00:11:32.100 saying that
00:11:33.560 Biden has just
00:11:35.620 driven a stake
00:11:36.580 through the argument
00:11:37.420 that he is mentally incompetent.
00:11:40.480 You know,
00:11:41.040 before that bicycle riding thing,
00:11:43.780 yeah,
00:11:44.360 you could see why people
00:11:45.520 might be saying it,
00:11:46.440 but now that he rode
00:11:47.620 a bicycle
00:11:48.220 for,
00:11:49.420 I don't know,
00:11:50.220 50 yards,
00:11:51.920 now that we've seen that,
00:11:54.440 well,
00:11:54.980 case closed.
00:11:56.260 Case closed.
00:11:59.320 No, no,
00:12:00.280 he's not dead,
00:12:01.240 he's just resting.
00:12:02.960 In fact,
00:12:03.540 CNN went so far
00:12:04.700 as to say that
00:12:05.660 President Trump's attack
00:12:07.620 on Biden
00:12:08.720 for being sleepy
00:12:09.440 sleepy
00:12:09.960 has now been
00:12:11.160 completely discredited
00:12:12.500 because he rode
00:12:13.720 a bike for 50 yards.
00:12:16.280 And they said that
00:12:17.520 with,
00:12:18.800 like,
00:12:19.160 a straight face,
00:12:20.620 if you can have
00:12:21.240 a straight face
00:12:21.920 while you're writing
00:12:22.540 something.
00:12:23.140 You know what I mean?
00:12:24.340 They sold that
00:12:25.080 as a serious
00:12:25.900 commentary.
00:12:29.360 So,
00:12:29.940 that was pretty amusing.
00:12:32.000 The simulation
00:12:33.020 continues to amuse,
00:12:34.720 just as we're wondering
00:12:35.780 if Kamala Harris
00:12:37.460 is going to be
00:12:39.600 the vice president
00:12:40.780 of choice
00:12:41.180 or if that choice
00:12:42.000 is dead.
00:12:44.460 There was somebody
00:12:45.720 with the same name,
00:12:46.760 Kamala Harris,
00:12:47.560 who apparently
00:12:48.360 is a professional wrestler
00:12:49.680 who tragically
00:12:51.480 died yesterday.
00:12:53.120 That's right.
00:12:53.840 Somebody named
00:12:54.620 Kamala Harris
00:12:55.420 died yesterday
00:12:56.740 at the same time
00:12:59.200 we're wondering
00:12:59.660 if her political career
00:13:00.860 is alive or dead.
00:13:02.820 You know,
00:13:03.140 in the sense
00:13:03.640 of the vice president pick.
00:13:04.680 Now,
00:13:07.080 there's some speculation
00:13:08.820 that if she is not
00:13:10.160 chosen as the
00:13:11.160 vice president pick,
00:13:13.340 that,
00:13:13.780 that maybe
00:13:16.080 she's,
00:13:17.500 they're holding
00:13:17.900 around for the
00:13:18.620 presidential spot.
00:13:20.080 Now,
00:13:20.260 people ask me,
00:13:21.020 Scott,
00:13:21.320 Scott,
00:13:21.580 Scott.
00:13:22.180 It doesn't make sense
00:13:23.600 that they would pick
00:13:24.300 somebody else
00:13:25.240 for a vice president
00:13:26.300 because that person
00:13:29.140 would be the obvious
00:13:29.940 person to become
00:13:30.880 the top candidate
00:13:31.860 if Joe Biden
00:13:33.180 dropped down.
00:13:33.720 So it doesn't make sense
00:13:34.800 that they would,
00:13:35.940 you know,
00:13:36.200 put in somebody
00:13:36.860 else at the top
00:13:37.820 when the whole point
00:13:39.400 of a vice presidential
00:13:40.300 pick is that
00:13:41.220 they're ready now
00:13:42.140 to take the top spot.
00:13:44.140 So you'd have to ask,
00:13:45.120 you know,
00:13:45.340 why,
00:13:46.280 you know,
00:13:46.460 if somebody else
00:13:47.120 is the top spot,
00:13:48.600 why did you pick
00:13:50.040 this vice president
00:13:50.840 in the first place?
00:13:51.640 And the answer is,
00:13:54.240 what if they already
00:13:56.120 know they're going
00:13:57.140 to get rid
00:13:57.720 of the top spot
00:13:58.900 before election day?
00:14:00.980 What if they know
00:14:02.280 they want to replace
00:14:03.440 the top
00:14:04.040 and put in
00:14:05.420 the vice presidential
00:14:06.740 pick
00:14:07.220 at maybe the same time?
00:14:09.840 What would that look like?
00:14:11.600 Well,
00:14:11.840 what that would look like
00:14:12.700 is you would absolutely
00:14:13.740 have to pick somebody
00:14:14.880 for the top spot
00:14:16.020 who had been recently
00:14:17.920 running for president.
00:14:18.920 I think you would be
00:14:20.480 limited to that
00:14:21.320 because the public
00:14:22.760 would just sort of insist
00:14:24.700 that somebody
00:14:25.300 who would put in
00:14:25.820 the work,
00:14:26.720 you know,
00:14:27.360 is considered.
00:14:28.460 So that would be,
00:14:28.940 you know,
00:14:29.160 your Elizabeth Warren,
00:14:30.540 your Kamala Harris's,
00:14:33.200 your Cory Booker's,
00:14:34.220 et cetera.
00:14:35.360 But Kamala is probably
00:14:37.800 the strongest
00:14:38.580 of that group,
00:14:40.500 if you ask me.
00:14:42.300 And if she doesn't
00:14:45.020 get picked,
00:14:45.880 or let's say
00:14:46.740 the longer you go,
00:14:48.120 every day that we go
00:14:50.000 without a VP pick
00:14:51.940 suggests that they're
00:14:54.140 looking to change out
00:14:55.180 both candidates.
00:14:57.800 So that doesn't mean
00:14:58.980 it's true,
00:14:59.920 but it's very suggestive
00:15:01.620 of the fact that
00:15:02.500 there's a bigger decision
00:15:03.640 than just the VP.
00:15:05.500 Now,
00:15:06.140 if today they announce
00:15:07.540 the VP
00:15:08.000 and it's,
00:15:08.800 you know,
00:15:10.360 Bass,
00:15:10.940 then I think
00:15:11.460 they have other problems
00:15:12.780 in terms of the
00:15:14.460 Kamala Harris theory.
00:15:16.120 would it be possible
00:15:18.840 that you could
00:15:20.080 make the change
00:15:20.820 after Biden
00:15:21.940 had picked
00:15:22.460 some other
00:15:23.200 vice president?
00:15:24.580 And the answer is,
00:15:25.800 yeah,
00:15:26.120 you could.
00:15:27.480 Work with me on this.
00:15:28.900 Let's just think
00:15:30.000 this through.
00:15:30.960 Let's say Biden
00:15:31.920 picked Karen Bass
00:15:33.580 for a vice president.
00:15:35.680 You might say to yourself,
00:15:37.140 well,
00:15:37.600 you know,
00:15:38.480 not really tested
00:15:39.640 at the highest level.
00:15:42.900 You kind of want
00:15:43.660 a governor
00:15:44.200 or a senator
00:15:45.520 or something.
00:15:46.600 Wait,
00:15:46.800 what is Karen Bass?
00:15:47.800 A representative?
00:15:50.000 So you might say to yourself,
00:15:51.480 okay,
00:15:52.120 that's as good as
00:15:53.260 a vice presidential pick
00:15:56.440 needs to be.
00:15:57.980 Now,
00:15:58.500 the whole point
00:15:59.040 of a vice president pick
00:16:00.120 is that they need
00:16:00.860 to look less good
00:16:02.140 than the top
00:16:02.920 of the ticket.
00:16:04.120 If you don't get
00:16:05.060 that right,
00:16:06.100 it's a bad look.
00:16:07.420 You don't want
00:16:07.780 your vice president pick
00:16:09.000 to be clearly
00:16:10.180 a better candidate
00:16:11.220 than the top
00:16:12.080 of the ticket.
00:16:13.720 So,
00:16:15.200 what happens
00:16:15.880 if Biden drops out
00:16:17.560 before election day
00:16:18.840 and Bass
00:16:20.100 is the vice presidential pick?
00:16:22.240 Do you feel her
00:16:23.340 as the top
00:16:24.060 of the ticket?
00:16:25.340 I don't.
00:16:26.620 Because it would feel
00:16:27.200 like she hasn't been
00:16:27.880 quite tested enough.
00:16:29.780 But,
00:16:30.180 you could easily
00:16:30.760 see Kamala Harris
00:16:31.600 at the top
00:16:32.120 of the ticket.
00:16:33.420 So,
00:16:33.800 I do think
00:16:34.320 that in this weird
00:16:35.420 case of
00:16:36.580 replacing
00:16:37.620 a candidate
00:16:38.380 before the election,
00:16:39.520 if it happens,
00:16:40.820 it does open
00:16:41.520 the possibility
00:16:42.180 that Kamala
00:16:43.500 could be slotted
00:16:44.320 into the top slot
00:16:45.340 without ever
00:16:46.500 having been
00:16:47.240 picked as
00:16:48.380 the vice president.
00:16:49.580 Completely possible
00:16:50.620 in my opinion.
00:16:52.600 But,
00:16:53.060 every day
00:16:53.840 that goes by,
00:16:54.940 people are saying,
00:16:55.720 I don't think
00:16:56.560 it's Kamala.
00:16:58.180 Maybe,
00:16:58.800 like
00:16:59.100 Willie Brown
00:17:00.920 said recently,
00:17:01.720 she'd be a better
00:17:02.400 attorney general.
00:17:03.960 To which I say,
00:17:05.840 strong argument.
00:17:07.620 strong argument.
00:17:09.200 She could be,
00:17:10.420 she would probably
00:17:12.400 be,
00:17:12.820 you know,
00:17:13.840 a strong pick
00:17:14.460 for attorney general.
00:17:15.960 So,
00:17:16.240 maybe,
00:17:16.620 we'll see.
00:17:20.840 Let's see
00:17:21.440 what else
00:17:21.800 is going on.
00:17:25.020 I think
00:17:25.660 we've got to
00:17:26.040 talk about
00:17:26.460 coronavirus.
00:17:28.180 But,
00:17:28.660 before we do
00:17:29.160 that,
00:17:29.880 let's talk
00:17:30.280 about sports.
00:17:31.060 I did a tweet
00:17:32.000 in which I asked
00:17:32.740 people
00:17:33.100 if they've
00:17:34.440 lost interest
00:17:35.620 in any
00:17:36.180 professional sports
00:17:37.440 that they used
00:17:38.200 to be interested
00:17:38.780 in.
00:17:39.740 And,
00:17:40.020 man,
00:17:40.280 did people
00:17:40.680 lose interest.
00:17:42.160 People lost
00:17:43.100 a lot of interest.
00:17:45.500 And,
00:17:45.980 I don't know
00:17:46.560 if it's
00:17:47.040 just because
00:17:48.300 the way
00:17:48.720 they're doing it
00:17:49.340 without the crowds,
00:17:50.700 because it's
00:17:51.220 a late season,
00:17:52.320 so it doesn't
00:17:52.780 look like it
00:17:53.280 really counts
00:17:54.000 in the usual way,
00:17:55.320 or if people
00:17:56.420 just got out
00:17:57.040 of the habit.
00:17:58.660 And,
00:17:58.900 here's the thing
00:17:59.460 I like to inject
00:18:00.320 into the
00:18:01.020 conversation.
00:18:02.680 If you're
00:18:03.340 looking at
00:18:03.740 what is
00:18:04.100 the future
00:18:04.740 of sports,
00:18:05.880 I would suggest
00:18:06.900 that breaking
00:18:07.560 people from
00:18:08.320 their habit
00:18:09.080 of every Sunday
00:18:11.100 I sit down
00:18:11.740 and I watch
00:18:12.140 my sports,
00:18:12.920 or every evening
00:18:14.240 I watch a
00:18:14.760 basketball game
00:18:15.440 in the fall,
00:18:17.120 whatever your
00:18:17.740 habit was,
00:18:19.200 your habit
00:18:19.660 probably got
00:18:20.220 broken.
00:18:21.500 And,
00:18:21.820 when a habit
00:18:22.200 gets broken,
00:18:23.760 it's hard
00:18:24.780 to get it
00:18:25.640 back,
00:18:26.380 because you
00:18:27.000 just can't
00:18:27.660 beat a habit
00:18:28.360 for locking
00:18:29.060 in a product.
00:18:29.820 It's one
00:18:30.500 of the
00:18:30.660 reasons that
00:18:31.300 comic strips
00:18:32.140 can last
00:18:33.220 for 30
00:18:33.800 years in
00:18:34.840 the newspaper,
00:18:35.700 whereas a
00:18:36.420 TV show
00:18:37.080 typically can't,
00:18:38.160 etc.
00:18:38.680 And,
00:18:39.180 it's because
00:18:39.520 people are
00:18:39.900 very habit
00:18:40.600 driven for
00:18:41.420 their newspaper
00:18:42.160 habits,
00:18:43.580 which is why
00:18:44.780 newspapers can
00:18:45.600 even still be
00:18:46.220 a thing years
00:18:47.840 after you think
00:18:48.540 people should
00:18:49.080 be watching
00:18:49.540 it on their
00:18:50.500 devices.
00:18:51.880 So,
00:18:52.380 habit is
00:18:52.920 incredibly
00:18:53.700 strong,
00:18:54.680 and the
00:18:55.260 coronavirus
00:18:55.600 broke it.
00:18:56.780 It broke
00:18:57.200 the habit.
00:18:58.420 So,
00:18:58.800 once that
00:18:59.160 habit is
00:18:59.600 broken,
00:19:00.120 I don't
00:19:00.580 know that
00:19:01.060 sports can
00:19:01.880 ever recover
00:19:02.480 back to
00:19:03.380 where they
00:19:03.660 were.
00:19:04.500 I'm sure
00:19:05.100 it'll be a
00:19:05.580 viable business,
00:19:07.040 but I don't
00:19:07.780 think it's
00:19:08.080 getting back
00:19:08.480 to where it
00:19:08.820 was.
00:19:12.600 All right,
00:19:13.400 let me talk
00:19:13.900 about the
00:19:14.760 coronavirus.
00:19:17.400 Oh,
00:19:17.820 yeah,
00:19:18.040 one more
00:19:18.360 thing.
00:19:20.980 So,
00:19:21.580 the president
00:19:22.020 did his
00:19:22.500 executive
00:19:23.020 orders,
00:19:24.100 which,
00:19:24.400 he can't
00:19:26.680 create money
00:19:27.940 that doesn't
00:19:28.440 exist.
00:19:29.180 You need
00:19:29.600 Congress to
00:19:30.700 do that
00:19:31.140 in terms of
00:19:32.260 creating a
00:19:32.800 budget,
00:19:33.420 but he can
00:19:34.060 move things
00:19:34.560 around and
00:19:35.080 he can delay
00:19:35.620 things,
00:19:36.080 and he's
00:19:36.340 using that
00:19:37.560 power for
00:19:38.820 the coronavirus
00:19:39.740 relief stuff.
00:19:41.780 Now,
00:19:42.100 here's my
00:19:42.620 question,
00:19:43.920 or maybe
00:19:44.980 it's a
00:19:45.320 statement.
00:19:46.620 Doesn't
00:19:47.140 Congress seem
00:19:47.960 like the
00:19:48.360 wrong place
00:19:49.260 for budget
00:19:50.100 authority in
00:19:51.620 an emergency.
00:19:53.120 Now,
00:19:53.360 Congress is
00:19:53.980 exactly the
00:19:54.700 right place
00:19:55.140 for budget
00:19:55.620 authority in
00:19:57.180 normal times.
00:19:58.140 Even as
00:19:58.580 dysfunctional as
00:19:59.740 they are,
00:20:00.680 it's still the
00:20:01.260 right place.
00:20:01.980 You still need
00:20:02.500 it to be
00:20:02.800 there.
00:20:03.460 But in the
00:20:03.920 very specific
00:20:04.860 case of a
00:20:05.740 national emergency
00:20:06.760 that affects
00:20:09.200 the economy as
00:20:10.320 well as the
00:20:11.180 well-being of
00:20:11.640 the people,
00:20:12.440 I'm feeling
00:20:13.060 like that's a
00:20:13.820 commander-in-chief
00:20:14.720 job.
00:20:16.600 My perfect
00:20:17.560 situation would
00:20:18.540 be the
00:20:18.880 commander-in-chief
00:20:19.800 in an
00:20:20.960 emergency,
00:20:21.620 could just
00:20:22.880 simply allocate
00:20:23.700 funds as if
00:20:25.260 it were
00:20:26.040 Congress.
00:20:27.640 And you'd
00:20:28.580 have to
00:20:28.960 constrain that
00:20:30.060 so it doesn't
00:20:30.540 get out of
00:20:30.940 control.
00:20:31.460 It has to
00:20:31.880 be an
00:20:32.180 emergency.
00:20:34.060 Maybe
00:20:34.400 Congress
00:20:35.300 needs to
00:20:36.640 say it's
00:20:37.260 an emergency.
00:20:38.100 I don't
00:20:38.200 know.
00:20:38.940 And then
00:20:39.360 I would also
00:20:40.880 suggest that
00:20:41.840 if you have
00:20:42.220 that system
00:20:42.840 and you
00:20:44.000 just say,
00:20:44.720 you know,
00:20:45.020 our homeland
00:20:46.260 defense is
00:20:47.120 inseparable from
00:20:48.140 our economic
00:20:48.960 health.
00:20:50.460 They're
00:20:50.720 inseparable.
00:20:51.620 So the
00:20:52.300 only way to
00:20:52.720 protect the
00:20:53.240 country is to
00:20:53.980 protect the
00:20:54.840 economy.
00:20:55.520 The only way
00:20:55.900 to do that
00:20:56.400 right is also
00:20:57.300 by protecting
00:20:57.960 the people,
00:20:59.080 the health,
00:20:59.680 etc.
00:21:00.820 And
00:21:01.340 therefore,
00:21:02.680 since the
00:21:03.320 economy and
00:21:04.660 the public
00:21:05.460 health and
00:21:06.820 homeland security
00:21:07.700 are really all
00:21:08.520 just one big
00:21:09.220 ball in the
00:21:10.760 specific case of
00:21:11.840 an emergency,
00:21:12.960 I'd rather have
00:21:13.600 the commander-in-chief
00:21:14.460 have complete
00:21:15.540 control of the
00:21:16.240 budget.
00:21:16.520 with this
00:21:18.140 control that
00:21:19.900 the Supreme
00:21:20.600 Court could
00:21:22.420 line veto
00:21:23.780 anything that
00:21:25.460 doesn't meet
00:21:26.020 the test of
00:21:26.800 being applicable
00:21:27.620 to the
00:21:28.120 emergency.
00:21:29.200 So in other
00:21:29.960 words, if your
00:21:30.640 president tried to
00:21:31.420 push through,
00:21:32.300 I don't know,
00:21:33.500 border wall
00:21:34.180 funding just
00:21:36.000 because,
00:21:36.540 ah,
00:21:36.820 the commander-in-chief
00:21:37.920 has all the
00:21:38.440 power now,
00:21:39.460 it's an emergency,
00:21:40.340 I'll use the
00:21:40.840 emergency to get
00:21:41.640 this other
00:21:42.580 stuff.
00:21:43.660 And he makes
00:21:44.340 a case and
00:21:44.960 goes,
00:21:45.200 well, you need
00:21:45.820 border security
00:21:46.740 because then,
00:21:48.020 you know,
00:21:48.520 people don't get
00:21:49.280 in with the
00:21:49.740 virus.
00:21:50.540 And then the
00:21:51.060 Supreme Court
00:21:51.540 looks at it
00:21:52.020 and says,
00:21:52.340 yeah, I hear
00:21:53.040 what you're
00:21:53.320 saying,
00:21:54.400 but you only
00:21:55.500 have authority
00:21:56.020 for immediate
00:21:56.600 stuff.
00:21:57.940 So the
00:21:58.580 border wall
00:21:59.000 is out,
00:22:00.060 but the bill
00:22:00.620 can continue.
00:22:01.820 So nothing
00:22:02.280 gets delayed.
00:22:04.000 The Supreme
00:22:04.720 Court would
00:22:05.220 look at it
00:22:05.780 24 hours and
00:22:07.140 say,
00:22:07.500 no, not
00:22:08.820 this one.
00:22:09.860 You know,
00:22:10.040 the payments
00:22:10.900 to the people,
00:22:11.720 that's good,
00:22:12.420 the delay
00:22:13.000 of this,
00:22:13.560 you can do
00:22:14.020 that,
00:22:14.660 but you
00:22:15.040 can't build
00:22:15.400 a wall.
00:22:16.820 That's not
00:22:17.440 what this
00:22:17.840 emergency stuff
00:22:18.760 is about.
00:22:21.040 Would that
00:22:21.640 be a better
00:22:22.040 system?
00:22:22.860 I'll just
00:22:23.220 put that out
00:22:23.760 there.
00:22:24.420 Because I
00:22:25.100 don't know
00:22:25.560 that when
00:22:25.980 the Constitution
00:22:26.660 was created,
00:22:28.160 this sort
00:22:29.120 of situation
00:22:29.840 was really
00:22:30.400 contemplated.
00:22:31.480 Because in
00:22:31.960 those days,
00:22:32.480 you just had
00:22:32.920 more time
00:22:33.420 for everything.
00:22:36.280 So that's
00:22:37.120 a tweak I
00:22:37.600 would make.
00:22:38.160 Make it the
00:22:38.840 commander-in-chief's
00:22:39.720 job under
00:22:40.580 the emergency
00:22:41.560 situation with
00:22:43.520 the Supreme
00:22:44.220 Court as
00:22:44.700 kind of a
00:22:45.080 check.
00:22:46.380 All right.
00:22:47.560 Because,
00:22:48.180 you know,
00:22:48.620 depending on
00:22:49.260 Congress for
00:22:50.040 money in an
00:22:50.680 emergency,
00:22:51.540 it's just not
00:22:52.580 a thing.
00:22:53.720 It's just not
00:22:54.300 a thing.
00:22:55.620 All right.
00:22:57.660 I've come
00:22:59.140 to some new
00:22:59.960 revised opinions
00:23:01.980 on the
00:23:02.660 coronavirus.
00:23:04.420 And let's
00:23:05.200 go through
00:23:06.140 that.
00:23:07.140 Hydroxychloroquine
00:23:07.860 estimate.
00:23:08.380 I have
00:23:09.020 been at
00:23:09.580 50% chance
00:23:10.980 that it's
00:23:12.700 real and
00:23:13.620 it works
00:23:14.260 if you
00:23:14.920 combine it
00:23:16.920 with the
00:23:17.160 zinc and
00:23:17.500 azithromycin
00:23:18.160 and you
00:23:18.600 give it to
00:23:18.940 people early
00:23:19.660 when they
00:23:20.420 first have
00:23:20.940 symptoms.
00:23:22.060 So I've
00:23:22.360 said,
00:23:22.820 based on
00:23:23.220 what I've
00:23:23.560 seen,
00:23:24.540 sort of a
00:23:25.100 coin flip,
00:23:25.920 sort of a
00:23:26.380 50-50.
00:23:27.200 You just
00:23:27.500 can't tell.
00:23:28.940 And I've
00:23:30.100 revised that
00:23:30.640 down to
00:23:30.980 30%.
00:23:31.960 And I'll
00:23:33.080 tell you
00:23:33.400 why.
00:23:34.100 So it
00:23:34.380 still might
00:23:34.780 work.
00:23:35.160 If it's
00:23:36.100 a 30%
00:23:36.780 chance of
00:23:37.420 working,
00:23:38.700 I'd still
00:23:39.300 want to
00:23:39.780 get the
00:23:40.120 prescription,
00:23:41.060 just in
00:23:41.500 case,
00:23:42.100 because the
00:23:42.540 downside is
00:23:43.260 so low,
00:23:44.320 and the
00:23:44.640 upside is
00:23:45.320 really high.
00:23:47.300 So it
00:23:47.900 doesn't change
00:23:48.480 whether you
00:23:48.920 should get a
00:23:49.420 prescription.
00:23:50.000 But let me
00:23:50.280 tell you why
00:23:50.720 I've lowered
00:23:51.440 my estimate.
00:23:53.540 I've been
00:23:54.120 saying since
00:23:54.660 the beginning
00:23:55.100 that we
00:23:56.160 don't have
00:23:56.780 the good,
00:23:58.160 you know,
00:23:58.560 the RPT,
00:23:59.740 you know,
00:24:00.480 what do you
00:24:02.440 call it,
00:24:02.640 the placebo
00:24:03.200 controlled,
00:24:04.100 randomized
00:24:04.420 study,
00:24:05.320 the gold
00:24:05.940 standard
00:24:06.300 study.
00:24:06.980 So we
00:24:07.320 don't have
00:24:07.740 that kind
00:24:08.160 of study
00:24:08.580 for the
00:24:09.160 appropriate
00:24:09.660 use of
00:24:10.280 the drug,
00:24:10.780 which is
00:24:11.080 early and
00:24:11.840 with the
00:24:12.220 zinc.
00:24:12.840 We have
00:24:13.380 studies that
00:24:13.960 show it
00:24:14.240 without the
00:24:14.700 zinc,
00:24:15.340 they're
00:24:15.540 worthless.
00:24:16.280 We have
00:24:16.700 studies that
00:24:17.340 show it
00:24:17.740 when you
00:24:17.960 use it at
00:24:18.360 the wrong
00:24:18.660 time,
00:24:19.220 when it's
00:24:19.480 too late,
00:24:20.520 they're
00:24:20.780 worthless.
00:24:21.540 So there
00:24:22.020 are lots
00:24:22.460 of high
00:24:22.880 quality studies
00:24:23.620 of the
00:24:24.180 wrong stuff.
00:24:26.040 So we've
00:24:26.400 got good
00:24:27.000 studies of
00:24:27.600 the wrong
00:24:28.000 stuff,
00:24:29.140 worthless.
00:24:30.500 We have,
00:24:31.580 I think
00:24:32.180 the number
00:24:32.900 was 56 or
00:24:34.200 more studies,
00:24:36.140 if you will,
00:24:36.760 but not the
00:24:37.380 RPT gold
00:24:38.480 standard studies
00:24:39.360 that suggest
00:24:40.420 it works.
00:24:42.260 And it's
00:24:43.100 been asked,
00:24:43.680 what are the
00:24:44.040 chances that
00:24:45.360 you'd have all
00:24:46.360 these studies
00:24:47.340 that, sure,
00:24:48.640 they're not gold
00:24:49.200 standard, but
00:24:49.760 they're different
00:24:50.240 ways of looking
00:24:50.920 at it, and
00:24:51.840 they all point
00:24:53.000 in the same
00:24:53.400 direction?
00:24:54.420 It's a pretty
00:24:54.820 good point.
00:24:56.240 But, it's
00:24:57.860 not evidence.
00:24:59.380 It just
00:24:59.800 doesn't rule
00:25:00.360 it out.
00:25:02.560 So I
00:25:03.120 wouldn't put
00:25:03.520 too much
00:25:04.340 weight on
00:25:04.740 that, because
00:25:05.660 first of all,
00:25:06.460 if somebody
00:25:06.880 had a study
00:25:07.700 that was
00:25:08.120 different,
00:25:08.800 would we
00:25:09.240 have ever
00:25:09.560 seen it?
00:25:10.580 I don't
00:25:10.920 know.
00:25:11.700 So there's
00:25:12.140 lots to be
00:25:13.540 asked about
00:25:14.360 that.
00:25:15.120 And then,
00:25:15.680 what I
00:25:16.440 thought was
00:25:16.880 going to be
00:25:17.400 the most
00:25:18.060 persuasive
00:25:19.060 was comparing
00:25:20.560 countries that
00:25:21.440 used hydroxychloroquine
00:25:22.920 to countries
00:25:24.100 that didn't.
00:25:25.080 How many
00:25:25.580 of you have
00:25:26.080 seen the
00:25:27.100 chart that
00:25:28.260 shows that
00:25:28.800 the country
00:25:29.260 is not
00:25:29.740 using hydroxychloroquine
00:25:31.180 or like their
00:25:31.920 curve is way
00:25:32.660 high, lots of
00:25:34.000 death, lots of
00:25:34.660 infection, compared
00:25:36.260 to the ones who
00:25:36.980 used it early,
00:25:37.880 and it's like
00:25:38.320 nothing.
00:25:40.060 It's like it
00:25:40.820 just wiped out
00:25:41.480 the virus,
00:25:42.140 practically.
00:25:43.020 How many of
00:25:43.660 you have seen
00:25:44.180 that chart?
00:25:45.520 I think Laura
00:25:46.260 Ingram had it
00:25:47.220 on the show.
00:25:49.200 I've tweeted
00:25:49.960 it a bunch of
00:25:50.620 times.
00:25:50.920 You've all seen
00:25:51.420 it, right?
00:25:51.720 So, and
00:25:55.660 Dr. Zelenko
00:25:56.760 had tweeted
00:25:57.720 it himself.
00:25:59.260 So I tweeted
00:26:00.160 his tweet that
00:26:00.960 included that
00:26:01.660 chart in the
00:26:02.340 study, and I
00:26:03.020 asked the smart
00:26:03.940 people on the
00:26:04.500 internet to
00:26:05.060 say, does
00:26:05.880 this look
00:26:06.280 right?
00:26:07.360 What do you
00:26:07.800 think they
00:26:08.140 said?
00:26:09.180 Not even
00:26:09.880 close.
00:26:11.800 Yeah, I
00:26:12.320 think Gummy
00:26:12.840 Bear has run
00:26:13.800 that chart as
00:26:14.440 well.
00:26:15.120 And when you
00:26:16.120 open it up to
00:26:16.760 people who are
00:26:17.360 sort of good at
00:26:18.260 finding problems
00:26:19.180 with things,
00:26:20.260 which is most
00:26:21.060 of my followers,
00:26:22.560 it just doesn't
00:26:23.480 hold up at
00:26:23.940 all.
00:26:25.060 So, here's
00:26:26.520 what's obviously
00:26:27.520 wrong about
00:26:28.200 it.
00:26:29.480 It leaves
00:26:30.040 countries out.
00:26:31.880 Now, if you
00:26:32.360 say to yourself,
00:26:33.220 yeah, but so
00:26:34.440 what if you
00:26:34.880 left some
00:26:35.300 countries out?
00:26:36.200 The ones that
00:26:36.960 are in tell
00:26:38.300 the whole story.
00:26:39.520 If it's true
00:26:40.560 that these
00:26:42.080 countries used
00:26:42.920 it early and
00:26:43.700 they got this
00:26:44.260 result, and
00:26:45.480 it's true that
00:26:46.100 these countries
00:26:46.900 didn't use it
00:26:48.060 and they got a
00:26:48.740 wildly different
00:26:49.560 result, does
00:26:50.840 it really
00:26:51.140 matter that
00:26:52.480 you left
00:26:52.880 out other
00:26:53.440 countries?
00:26:54.220 Because that's
00:26:54.900 enough, right?
00:26:56.720 No.
00:26:57.780 That's how you
00:26:58.580 fake it.
00:26:59.700 The way you
00:27:00.380 create a fake
00:27:01.380 chart is by
00:27:02.660 leaving out the
00:27:03.420 other countries
00:27:04.100 that don't show
00:27:04.880 the pattern.
00:27:06.100 Now, let me
00:27:06.900 ask you this.
00:27:07.940 Does every
00:27:08.580 country have a
00:27:10.260 chart that goes
00:27:11.280 up and then
00:27:12.340 there's some
00:27:12.720 point where it
00:27:13.300 goes down?
00:27:14.340 You all agree
00:27:15.020 that every
00:27:15.440 country has one
00:27:16.180 of those charts,
00:27:16.860 right?
00:27:17.040 They don't
00:27:18.320 all use
00:27:18.680 hydroxychloroquine.
00:27:20.400 Some of them
00:27:21.060 just go, and
00:27:22.020 the United States
00:27:22.860 has sort of
00:27:23.300 that double dip
00:27:23.960 thing, but
00:27:24.840 they all have a
00:27:25.580 point where
00:27:26.220 there's an
00:27:26.640 inflection.
00:27:28.160 Now, the
00:27:28.780 inflections are
00:27:31.000 all compressed
00:27:31.780 in, let's say,
00:27:32.960 just a month
00:27:34.100 or so, right?
00:27:35.420 There's like
00:27:36.100 maybe two
00:27:36.960 months, but
00:27:37.560 something like
00:27:38.320 one month where
00:27:39.560 every country
00:27:40.280 that had an
00:27:40.860 inflection point,
00:27:41.860 it was around
00:27:42.840 about that same
00:27:44.020 time.
00:27:44.400 How many
00:27:46.800 of them also
00:27:47.620 made some
00:27:48.220 kind of a
00:27:48.640 change with
00:27:49.280 their hydroxychloroquine
00:27:50.500 that just
00:27:51.660 coincidentally lines
00:27:53.060 up with when
00:27:54.240 that was going
00:27:54.780 to happen
00:27:55.140 anyway?
00:27:56.460 Doesn't take
00:27:57.100 many.
00:27:57.940 If there were
00:27:58.500 only, let's
00:27:59.440 say, 25%
00:28:00.520 of them
00:28:00.960 coincidentally
00:28:02.380 were doing
00:28:03.040 better with
00:28:04.280 the, let's
00:28:05.080 say, social
00:28:05.600 distancing, at
00:28:07.000 about the same
00:28:07.760 time they were
00:28:08.500 also saying,
00:28:09.160 hey, why don't
00:28:09.600 we use this
00:28:10.160 hydroxychloroquine,
00:28:11.540 you could draw
00:28:12.260 the chart, and
00:28:13.440 it would look
00:28:13.820 like 25%
00:28:16.060 of the
00:28:16.360 countries
00:28:16.800 coincidentally
00:28:18.180 lined up.
00:28:19.960 You've got
00:28:20.560 something that
00:28:21.080 looks like a
00:28:21.600 correlation.
00:28:22.180 It's like, hey,
00:28:23.240 at about the
00:28:23.880 same time they
00:28:24.560 did this
00:28:24.940 hydroxychloroquine,
00:28:26.080 things got
00:28:26.540 really good on
00:28:27.240 their curve.
00:28:28.800 And then you
00:28:29.260 look at it and
00:28:29.800 you say, well,
00:28:31.520 but there were
00:28:32.320 lots of countries
00:28:33.000 that were having
00:28:33.520 that same curve
00:28:34.320 thing.
00:28:35.600 A quarter of
00:28:36.500 them lined up
00:28:37.200 with your
00:28:37.580 hypothesis, and
00:28:38.740 those are the
00:28:39.140 ones that ended
00:28:39.680 up on the
00:28:40.180 chart.
00:28:41.260 75% of them
00:28:42.540 you either
00:28:42.920 didn't know
00:28:43.600 or didn't
00:28:44.220 line up, and
00:28:45.420 so they're
00:28:45.720 not on the
00:28:46.200 chart.
00:28:47.300 Now, I don't
00:28:48.080 know if I'm
00:28:48.480 explaining what
00:28:49.200 happened in
00:28:49.800 this specific
00:28:50.420 case.
00:28:50.940 What I'm
00:28:51.180 trying to do
00:28:51.680 is open your
00:28:52.420 mind to the
00:28:54.380 understanding that
00:28:56.100 that chart has
00:28:57.160 no credibility
00:28:58.380 whatsoever.
00:28:59.700 And when you
00:29:00.020 look into who
00:29:00.720 produced it, who
00:29:01.580 is the original
00:29:02.140 source, how they
00:29:03.540 put it together,
00:29:04.320 you find mumbo
00:29:05.500 jumbo and
00:29:06.140 bullshit that is
00:29:07.540 clearly somebody
00:29:08.560 trying to hide
00:29:09.220 their identity, so
00:29:10.780 you don't even
00:29:11.220 know where it
00:29:11.620 came from.
00:29:12.620 They use
00:29:13.060 words like
00:29:13.720 it's randomized
00:29:14.440 when it's
00:29:15.440 not, which
00:29:16.740 is a big
00:29:17.160 red flag, and
00:29:19.020 the whole
00:29:20.340 thing looks
00:29:20.960 super sketchy
00:29:22.180 to the point
00:29:23.040 where the
00:29:23.640 chart producers
00:29:24.800 look more
00:29:25.840 like foreign
00:29:26.560 interference than
00:29:28.280 they do like
00:29:29.080 good helpers who
00:29:30.260 just want to
00:29:30.740 be anonymous.
00:29:33.500 Now, does
00:29:35.240 that mean that
00:29:36.220 hydroxychloroquine
00:29:37.220 doesn't work?
00:29:38.040 It does not.
00:29:38.980 I'm still at a
00:29:39.600 30% chance it
00:29:40.640 works.
00:29:41.400 I'm just saying
00:29:42.040 that what it
00:29:42.660 would take to
00:29:43.480 convince me has
00:29:44.400 never happened.
00:29:45.860 So that chart,
00:29:47.100 complete bullshit.
00:29:49.020 The, all the
00:29:50.180 56 studies that
00:29:51.460 are not the
00:29:52.440 right kind, not
00:29:55.040 confirming anything.
00:29:57.380 The studies
00:29:57.980 confirming it
00:29:58.720 doesn't work,
00:29:59.740 complete bullshit.
00:30:00.620 They studied the
00:30:01.220 wrong stuff.
00:30:02.280 So, there's a
00:30:04.320 weird situation
00:30:05.040 here in which,
00:30:05.880 why is it
00:30:07.300 that studying
00:30:08.000 the right thing
00:30:08.780 is so darn
00:30:09.440 hard?
00:30:10.900 I mean, we've
00:30:11.720 had several
00:30:12.720 full month
00:30:14.300 periods that
00:30:15.040 have passed.
00:30:15.640 It's been five
00:30:16.220 months since the
00:30:16.860 beginning, and
00:30:17.820 from the very
00:30:18.340 beginning we were
00:30:19.020 talking about this
00:30:19.720 drug.
00:30:20.300 Are you telling
00:30:20.760 me you can't do
00:30:21.540 a one-month
00:30:22.280 trial in five
00:30:23.940 months when it's
00:30:25.480 an emergency?
00:30:26.220 Nobody pulled
00:30:27.220 that off?
00:30:29.580 I'm just not
00:30:30.480 buying it.
00:30:31.300 But, here's the
00:30:32.480 other challenge I
00:30:33.260 had.
00:30:33.960 I have not yet
00:30:34.800 heard of one
00:30:35.820 case anywhere
00:30:37.380 in the world
00:30:38.140 in which somebody
00:30:39.960 got the drug
00:30:40.800 early and then
00:30:42.300 later died.
00:30:43.720 Now, that
00:30:44.240 doesn't mean it
00:30:44.780 didn't happen.
00:30:46.420 But, why have I
00:30:47.260 never heard of
00:30:47.780 one?
00:30:49.020 Couldn't I get
00:30:50.340 one anecdote?
00:30:52.220 One anecdote
00:30:53.160 of somebody who
00:30:54.480 took it at the
00:30:55.220 right time,
00:30:55.880 didn't have some
00:30:56.620 horrible, obvious
00:30:58.160 comorbidity,
00:30:59.820 and then went
00:31:00.300 on to die?
00:31:00.800 If your fake
00:31:02.500 news really
00:31:03.240 wants to
00:31:03.720 embarrass the
00:31:04.660 president, give
00:31:05.980 me some of
00:31:06.400 those anecdotes.
00:31:07.620 Sure.
00:31:08.420 I'll know it's
00:31:09.000 just anecdotes
00:31:09.760 and it won't
00:31:10.160 really mean
00:31:10.580 anything, because
00:31:11.340 even the
00:31:12.500 proponents don't
00:31:13.300 say it saves
00:31:13.900 every person in
00:31:14.720 every case.
00:31:15.600 They're just
00:31:16.160 saying that's
00:31:16.740 an amazing
00:31:17.160 difference.
00:31:18.600 But just
00:31:19.020 show me one
00:31:20.300 anecdote of
00:31:21.380 somebody who
00:31:21.840 took it and
00:31:22.300 died anyway.
00:31:23.740 You can't
00:31:24.060 find one?
00:31:25.300 You can't
00:31:25.620 find any?
00:31:26.880 Must be one
00:31:27.720 out there
00:31:28.000 somewhere.
00:31:29.240 All right.
00:31:31.020 Let's talk
00:31:31.720 about Sweden.
00:31:35.100 Let me check
00:31:35.960 the news on
00:31:36.540 Sweden.
00:31:37.300 Let's see.
00:31:37.800 Here's a story
00:31:38.460 in which the
00:31:40.300 person writing
00:31:41.140 about it says
00:31:41.820 it's absolutely
00:31:42.900 true that
00:31:43.560 Sweden did the
00:31:44.260 right thing.
00:31:45.220 Okay, scroll
00:31:45.780 down.
00:31:46.240 Here's another
00:31:46.680 news story that
00:31:47.980 says they've
00:31:48.760 looked at
00:31:49.100 Sweden and they
00:31:50.120 did all the
00:31:50.620 wrong things.
00:31:51.280 They sure
00:31:51.600 lost.
00:31:54.320 Really nobody
00:31:55.160 knows what's
00:31:55.700 going on.
00:31:56.420 But let me
00:31:56.780 give you some
00:31:57.600 insight as to
00:31:58.580 how bad the
00:31:59.340 analysis of
00:32:00.200 Sweden is.
00:32:01.380 Check me on
00:32:02.040 my math, but
00:32:03.840 see if I'm in
00:32:04.460 the neighborhood
00:32:04.900 here.
00:32:05.440 All right.
00:32:06.520 So Sweden
00:32:07.800 has a population
00:32:09.040 of 10 million.
00:32:11.040 To reach herd
00:32:12.160 immunity, and
00:32:12.980 we'll talk about
00:32:13.780 whether this
00:32:14.400 number is too
00:32:15.740 high or not,
00:32:17.020 let's say 60%
00:32:18.580 infection would
00:32:20.640 get you to
00:32:21.400 herd immunity.
00:32:23.100 So if 6
00:32:24.720 million, which
00:32:26.120 would be 60%
00:32:27.140 of their total
00:32:27.660 population, if
00:32:28.980 6 million people
00:32:29.960 had it already,
00:32:32.320 and that's
00:32:32.820 what's happening
00:32:33.360 because Sweden
00:32:34.400 seems to be
00:32:34.980 doing well, and
00:32:36.320 the thought is
00:32:36.920 they've reached
00:32:37.480 some kind of
00:32:38.180 herd immunity.
00:32:39.560 And last I
00:32:42.400 checked, the
00:32:43.080 fatality rate
00:32:43.920 was 3.75%.
00:32:46.300 So 3.75% of
00:32:49.000 people who get
00:32:49.540 it would die.
00:32:51.240 That includes
00:32:51.780 elderly, etc.
00:32:53.420 So that would
00:32:54.280 imply that for
00:32:55.740 Sweden to be at
00:32:56.900 60% herd
00:32:59.180 immunity, which
00:33:00.540 would be enough,
00:33:01.600 that they would
00:33:02.300 have 225,000
00:33:04.320 deaths.
00:33:06.640 We'll get to
00:33:07.460 those who are
00:33:07.960 screaming at me in
00:33:08.780 the comments that
00:33:09.560 it would be much
00:33:10.440 less.
00:33:10.740 So if Sweden
00:33:13.680 got to herd
00:33:14.420 immunity at
00:33:15.400 the 60%
00:33:16.240 level, which
00:33:17.220 is what most
00:33:18.100 experts say you
00:33:19.200 need to get
00:33:19.660 to, we
00:33:20.580 would have
00:33:20.900 seen 225,000
00:33:22.940 deaths.
00:33:23.900 What's the
00:33:24.480 actual number?
00:33:26.240 Six.
00:33:28.160 Right.
00:33:28.720 So if you
00:33:29.200 think that
00:33:30.200 Sweden reached
00:33:31.160 that 60%
00:33:33.280 of herd
00:33:33.600 immunity,
00:33:34.700 you're off
00:33:35.740 by a lot
00:33:36.440 because they
00:33:37.260 would have
00:33:37.560 225,000
00:33:38.900 deaths, not
00:33:40.320 6,000.
00:33:42.320 So they're
00:33:43.120 nowhere near
00:33:43.740 anything like
00:33:44.500 traditional herd
00:33:45.920 immunity.
00:33:46.440 But let's get
00:33:47.100 to the second
00:33:47.520 part.
00:33:48.480 So there are
00:33:49.040 smart people
00:33:49.760 arguing that
00:33:50.780 we don't need
00:33:51.820 to get anywhere
00:33:52.620 near 60%.
00:33:53.760 In fact, the
00:33:54.640 number could be
00:33:55.240 as low as
00:33:56.040 35%.
00:33:57.820 It could be
00:33:58.780 20%.
00:34:00.880 And the
00:34:01.820 reason being
00:34:02.560 that's offered
00:34:03.780 is that there
00:34:05.200 are so many
00:34:05.680 people who have
00:34:06.200 had some
00:34:06.660 related kind
00:34:07.740 of coronavirus
00:34:08.520 that has
00:34:09.860 some markers
00:34:10.720 that are
00:34:11.240 similar enough
00:34:12.480 that your
00:34:13.580 body is
00:34:14.340 sort of
00:34:15.000 prepped for
00:34:15.960 it.
00:34:16.400 But it
00:34:17.040 wouldn't show
00:34:17.620 up in
00:34:18.240 specific
00:34:19.120 immunity.
00:34:20.160 So if you
00:34:20.560 tested somebody
00:34:21.820 who was
00:34:22.920 resistant to
00:34:24.040 it because
00:34:24.620 of other
00:34:25.220 exposures,
00:34:26.460 you wouldn't
00:34:27.260 be able to
00:34:27.660 test for it.
00:34:29.000 They would
00:34:29.620 just have
00:34:29.960 some markers
00:34:30.580 but not
00:34:31.200 immunity per
00:34:32.020 se, but
00:34:33.340 that in
00:34:33.720 reality they
00:34:35.360 just wouldn't
00:34:35.780 get it.
00:34:36.740 So that you
00:34:37.540 would have
00:34:37.820 to include
00:34:39.280 them and
00:34:40.280 then if you
00:34:40.820 did, the
00:34:41.740 real herd
00:34:42.680 immunity could
00:34:43.360 be closer to
00:34:44.140 20% or
00:34:45.120 something.
00:34:46.420 But
00:34:46.680 Sweden's still
00:34:49.360 more at
00:34:49.920 like 3%.
00:34:52.320 So even if
00:34:54.120 you went all
00:34:54.640 the way down
00:34:55.040 to say 20%
00:34:56.200 gives you
00:34:56.680 herd immunity,
00:34:58.260 Sweden's not
00:34:58.860 even close to
00:34:59.500 that.
00:35:00.420 They're nowhere
00:35:00.880 close.
00:35:02.020 They're not
00:35:02.360 even in
00:35:02.960 dynamiting
00:35:06.140 distance from
00:35:07.340 even the
00:35:07.880 lowest 20%
00:35:09.760 herd immunity.
00:35:11.160 But yet they
00:35:11.960 seem to be
00:35:12.440 doing okay.
00:35:14.100 What's going
00:35:14.700 on?
00:35:15.140 And the
00:35:15.360 answer is we
00:35:15.780 don't know.
00:35:16.820 We don't
00:35:17.140 know.
00:35:17.800 We don't
00:35:18.620 know.
00:35:19.340 We don't
00:35:19.980 know if
00:35:20.260 they're doing
00:35:20.600 well.
00:35:21.420 We don't
00:35:21.700 know why
00:35:23.700 they're doing
00:35:24.100 what they're
00:35:24.420 doing.
00:35:25.220 But there's
00:35:25.820 some other
00:35:26.140 big differences
00:35:26.720 in Sweden
00:35:27.400 which are
00:35:27.900 worth noting.
00:35:28.820 One is
00:35:29.380 that we
00:35:29.720 talk about
00:35:30.240 them not
00:35:31.400 closing their
00:35:32.080 economy but
00:35:32.880 that's not
00:35:33.360 exactly what
00:35:34.040 happened.
00:35:35.000 The voluntary
00:35:36.400 social distancing
00:35:37.620 etc.
00:35:38.880 were pretty
00:35:40.020 well maintained
00:35:41.660 so they
00:35:43.280 weren't that
00:35:43.900 different from
00:35:44.580 somebody who
00:35:45.040 closed their
00:35:45.560 economy.
00:35:46.480 They did
00:35:46.840 have a better
00:35:47.320 economic outcome
00:35:48.340 that they
00:35:49.840 took a hit
00:35:50.920 too but not
00:35:51.580 as bad as
00:35:52.200 other countries.
00:35:54.220 Then you'd
00:35:54.680 also have to
00:35:55.260 ask yourself
00:35:55.880 why is it
00:35:57.240 that Sweden
00:35:57.880 is doing
00:35:59.040 so much
00:35:59.700 better than
00:36:00.740 the UK?
00:36:03.380 Why is
00:36:04.240 Sweden doing
00:36:04.840 so much
00:36:05.540 better than
00:36:06.420 the UK?
00:36:07.680 Because if
00:36:08.800 this herd
00:36:09.700 immunity thing
00:36:10.540 is really
00:36:11.240 really really
00:36:12.380 low and
00:36:13.320 Sweden somehow
00:36:14.200 hit it,
00:36:15.360 how did the
00:36:16.240 UK zoom right
00:36:17.320 past it by
00:36:18.060 a lot?
00:36:19.500 So why would
00:36:20.160 herd immunity
00:36:20.780 in Sweden
00:36:21.400 be down here
00:36:22.320 but herd
00:36:23.200 immunity in
00:36:23.840 the UK
00:36:24.160 would be up
00:36:24.720 here?
00:36:24.940 doesn't
00:36:27.280 work does
00:36:27.860 it right?
00:36:28.480 Because unless
00:36:29.440 there's something
00:36:29.920 genetic or
00:36:30.780 something about
00:36:31.280 where they
00:36:31.640 live and
00:36:32.280 what they've
00:36:33.060 been exposed
00:36:33.600 to in the
00:36:34.040 past I
00:36:35.020 suppose but
00:36:36.220 it seems
00:36:36.560 inconsistent to
00:36:37.480 me that
00:36:39.080 anybody would
00:36:39.840 have a higher
00:36:40.840 death rate than
00:36:41.620 anybody else
00:36:42.440 if Sweden is
00:36:44.020 hitting herd
00:36:44.460 immunity.
00:36:45.100 If you can get
00:36:46.080 herd immunity at
00:36:47.020 that lower
00:36:47.800 level of
00:36:48.400 death wouldn't
00:36:50.480 everybody be
00:36:51.140 there?
00:36:51.460 or just
00:36:53.060 about there?
00:36:54.440 I don't
00:36:54.800 know.
00:36:58.800 And then
00:36:59.640 it has been
00:37:00.680 mentioned that
00:37:01.280 the Swedes
00:37:01.960 have a different
00:37:02.420 lifestyle, they
00:37:03.300 might spend
00:37:03.760 more time
00:37:04.180 alone naturally
00:37:05.160 and that they
00:37:06.720 might be
00:37:07.100 healthier.
00:37:08.140 They do
00:37:08.720 better on
00:37:09.140 vitamin D
00:37:09.760 because they
00:37:11.040 supplement because
00:37:12.040 they don't get
00:37:12.540 enough sun so
00:37:13.380 they supplement
00:37:13.980 which might
00:37:14.560 make a
00:37:14.880 difference and
00:37:16.380 apparently they
00:37:17.400 have much
00:37:18.220 lower rates
00:37:19.140 of diabetes.
00:37:22.820 I don't know
00:37:23.200 if that's true.
00:37:24.360 But if you
00:37:25.040 assume that the
00:37:26.000 Swedes have a
00:37:26.720 low African
00:37:28.040 American community
00:37:29.060 that alone would
00:37:30.860 put their death
00:37:31.460 rate lower.
00:37:32.400 Would it not?
00:37:33.820 Because the
00:37:34.680 African American
00:37:35.440 community in
00:37:37.180 well no if it
00:37:38.900 were in Sweden
00:37:39.900 it would be
00:37:40.600 just the black
00:37:42.720 or the African
00:37:44.020 Sweden community
00:37:44.900 I guess.
00:37:46.020 So the fact
00:37:47.140 that we have a
00:37:47.760 larger minority
00:37:48.680 population who
00:37:49.760 are tragically
00:37:50.620 more susceptible
00:37:51.480 to it.
00:37:52.840 That's part of
00:37:53.300 the story too.
00:37:54.460 So maybe Sweden
00:37:55.260 is just being
00:37:55.940 Sweden and
00:37:56.700 there's nothing
00:37:58.620 magic happening
00:37:59.460 there.
00:38:00.340 Alright so
00:38:01.260 here's what's
00:38:01.840 not credible so
00:38:02.840 far.
00:38:03.640 The studies
00:38:04.280 which proclaim
00:38:05.200 they have
00:38:05.720 debunked
00:38:06.620 hydroxychloroquine
00:38:07.800 are not credible.
00:38:09.480 Even the RPT
00:38:10.400 ones because they
00:38:11.120 studied the wrong
00:38:11.860 thing.
00:38:12.700 Studied it not
00:38:13.560 with zinc.
00:38:14.220 They studied it
00:38:14.920 on deathly ill
00:38:15.860 people when it's
00:38:16.600 too late.
00:38:17.060 So there's no
00:38:18.820 good study that
00:38:19.720 shows it doesn't
00:38:20.420 work.
00:38:21.340 Likewise there's
00:38:22.320 no high quality
00:38:23.880 gold standard that
00:38:25.140 shows it does
00:38:25.700 work.
00:38:27.000 And the country
00:38:28.800 comparisons seem
00:38:29.900 completely garbage
00:38:30.920 and I forgot to
00:38:32.400 mention this but
00:38:33.080 nobody really knows
00:38:34.400 what different
00:38:35.400 countries are doing
00:38:36.200 with hydroxychloroquine.
00:38:38.420 Nobody really
00:38:39.000 knows because it's
00:38:40.120 up to the doctors.
00:38:41.540 We don't know if
00:38:42.200 the doctors are
00:38:42.900 really using it.
00:38:43.880 Do they really
00:38:44.280 have supply?
00:38:45.460 How are they
00:38:46.300 using it?
00:38:47.240 Kind of don't
00:38:47.760 know.
00:38:48.380 So if you think
00:38:48.960 you can compare
00:38:49.680 countries good
00:38:51.300 luck with that
00:38:51.900 because you'd
00:38:52.520 have to talk to
00:38:53.220 a lot of
00:38:53.680 doctors in
00:38:54.220 every country
00:38:54.700 to get some
00:38:55.240 kind of a
00:38:56.020 representative
00:38:56.780 sample.
00:38:58.300 All right.
00:39:00.040 So here's what
00:39:01.020 I think is our
00:39:01.720 best hope at
00:39:02.520 this point.
00:39:04.260 That the
00:39:05.140 blood serum
00:39:06.040 antibody
00:39:07.060 treatment will
00:39:09.300 become a
00:39:09.900 commercial
00:39:10.320 market.
00:39:10.800 that is our
00:39:14.120 best hope I
00:39:14.940 think.
00:39:15.460 Now my
00:39:16.040 understanding is
00:39:16.780 that if you
00:39:17.160 take the blood
00:39:17.720 from somebody
00:39:18.300 who's had it
00:39:19.060 and you find
00:39:20.880 out that you've
00:39:21.480 got the better
00:39:22.800 blood.
00:39:23.500 Some blood is
00:39:24.520 better than
00:39:24.880 others for the
00:39:25.480 antibodies.
00:39:26.760 And you put
00:39:27.760 those antibodies
00:39:28.480 in somebody it
00:39:29.420 will confer some
00:39:30.420 immunity in them
00:39:31.640 but it might not
00:39:32.640 last forever.
00:39:34.060 But it also
00:39:34.760 doesn't need to.
00:39:36.060 I don't think it
00:39:36.660 needs to last
00:39:37.200 forever.
00:39:37.480 And just to
00:39:39.200 give you an
00:39:39.600 idea of what
00:39:41.040 a commercial
00:39:41.880 market for this
00:39:42.720 would be as
00:39:43.320 opposed to just
00:39:43.980 working through
00:39:44.680 the normal
00:39:45.120 healthcare system.
00:39:46.300 If there were a
00:39:47.260 commercial market
00:39:48.140 where somebody
00:39:48.880 could offer me
00:39:49.700 right now
00:39:50.360 literally today
00:39:51.980 they could say
00:39:53.120 if you come
00:39:53.620 into my clinic
00:39:54.380 I've already
00:39:55.340 got some
00:39:55.940 antibodies that
00:39:57.220 I've harvested.
00:39:59.520 Put them in
00:40:00.100 your body.
00:40:01.360 It's safe
00:40:01.880 enough.
00:40:02.760 I would need
00:40:03.620 some evidence
00:40:04.520 that it's safe.
00:40:05.540 But it's safe
00:40:06.020 enough.
00:40:06.320 what would
00:40:07.140 you pay
00:40:07.620 for it?
00:40:09.220 And here's
00:40:09.680 my answer.
00:40:10.900 $5,000.
00:40:12.540 I would
00:40:13.260 personally
00:40:13.880 because I'm
00:40:15.300 rich
00:40:15.620 so you
00:40:17.940 don't need
00:40:18.440 to throw
00:40:18.900 that in
00:40:19.220 my face.
00:40:20.620 I'm rich
00:40:21.560 so I
00:40:22.520 would pay
00:40:22.840 $5,000
00:40:23.780 to get that
00:40:25.120 antibody
00:40:25.560 treatment.
00:40:26.660 Now why
00:40:26.980 would I
00:40:27.320 pay $5,000?
00:40:28.920 Two reasons.
00:40:30.480 One
00:40:30.860 it'd be
00:40:31.640 worth it.
00:40:32.580 If you
00:40:32.920 have the
00:40:33.280 money
00:40:33.480 it'd be
00:40:33.900 worth it.
00:40:34.900 But two
00:40:35.680 and this
00:40:36.440 is just
00:40:36.880 important
00:40:37.380 in my
00:40:37.900 particular
00:40:39.060 case
00:40:39.520 that's
00:40:40.520 what makes
00:40:40.940 it a
00:40:41.200 market.
00:40:42.760 When the
00:40:43.480 dumb rich
00:40:44.280 overpay
00:40:45.200 and that's
00:40:46.220 actually a
00:40:46.700 market segment
00:40:47.380 if you've
00:40:48.620 ever worked
00:40:49.100 in corporate
00:40:49.580 America
00:40:50.000 you know
00:40:50.900 that the
00:40:51.300 dumb rich
00:40:51.920 are actually
00:40:52.580 a market
00:40:53.000 segment.
00:40:53.960 The people
00:40:54.300 who will
00:40:54.620 buy the
00:40:55.040 new
00:40:55.240 expensive
00:40:55.720 thing
00:40:56.080 regardless
00:40:56.520 of price
00:40:57.260 because they
00:40:58.340 want the
00:40:58.680 new
00:40:58.840 expensive
00:40:59.240 thing.
00:41:00.200 So you
00:41:00.540 sell it
00:41:00.920 to the
00:41:01.220 dumb rich
00:41:01.780 first
00:41:02.200 because they'll
00:41:02.640 buy it
00:41:03.000 no matter
00:41:03.420 what
00:41:03.840 if it's
00:41:05.520 expensive
00:41:05.940 and good
00:41:06.980 in some
00:41:07.340 way.
00:41:08.460 And then
00:41:08.680 that drives
00:41:09.180 the price
00:41:09.540 down
00:41:09.840 eventually
00:41:10.360 so that
00:41:11.840 people who
00:41:12.340 can afford
00:41:12.940 it would
00:41:13.960 be able
00:41:14.240 to afford
00:41:14.680 it.
00:41:15.420 So if it
00:41:16.060 came out
00:41:16.420 today and
00:41:17.180 they said
00:41:17.600 it's going
00:41:18.040 to be
00:41:18.200 $5,000
00:41:18.860 for one
00:41:19.560 treatment
00:41:19.880 and we
00:41:20.240 don't even
00:41:20.560 know how
00:41:21.020 long it'll
00:41:21.460 last
00:41:21.780 I would
00:41:22.540 say
00:41:22.740 first
00:41:23.520 partly for
00:41:26.280 the immunity
00:41:26.760 and partly
00:41:29.140 to help drive
00:41:29.820 down the price
00:41:30.540 because the
00:41:31.200 more money
00:41:31.660 we shovel
00:41:32.140 at it
00:41:32.580 the more
00:41:33.300 they can
00:41:33.700 lower the
00:41:34.220 price so
00:41:34.820 that those
00:41:35.240 of you
00:41:35.560 who can't
00:41:36.600 afford it
00:41:37.060 would be
00:41:37.500 able to.
00:41:38.060 And I
00:41:38.240 mean that
00:41:38.540 seriously.
00:41:39.480 I would be
00:41:40.280 in line
00:41:40.980 in one
00:41:41.800 minute
00:41:42.140 because it
00:41:43.180 would be
00:41:43.420 part of a
00:41:44.000 larger good
00:41:44.800 I think.
00:41:45.440 Plus it
00:41:45.920 might work
00:41:46.720 for me
00:41:47.020 too.
00:41:50.100 So in
00:41:50.780 my opinion
00:41:51.300 that plus
00:41:52.580 maybe rapid
00:41:53.980 testing are
00:41:54.780 the two
00:41:55.080 things that
00:41:56.360 could help
00:41:56.780 us the
00:41:57.400 most.
00:41:58.380 You probably
00:41:58.780 need both.
00:41:59.400 the rapid
00:42:00.680 testing meaning
00:42:01.600 if we could
00:42:02.240 get FDA
00:42:02.860 approval for
00:42:03.680 the little
00:42:04.520 paper tests
00:42:05.440 which is
00:42:06.360 basically a
00:42:06.940 spit test
00:42:07.560 you can do
00:42:08.020 it at home
00:42:08.520 it won't
00:42:09.460 pick up
00:42:10.000 if you just
00:42:11.340 got the
00:42:11.760 virus it
00:42:12.420 won't pick
00:42:12.820 it up
00:42:13.160 but if
00:42:14.040 you're already
00:42:14.500 infectious it
00:42:15.380 will pick
00:42:15.760 it up
00:42:16.100 quite reliably
00:42:17.220 and so
00:42:18.420 that's enough
00:42:19.140 given that it
00:42:20.120 might only cost
00:42:20.720 a dollar to
00:42:21.340 do the test
00:42:21.880 that's enough
00:42:22.760 to really
00:42:23.500 really push
00:42:24.320 on a bunch
00:42:24.860 of tests.
00:42:25.980 People could
00:42:26.620 test themselves
00:42:27.260 twice a day
00:42:27.960 and it wouldn't
00:42:28.340 be too
00:42:28.660 expensive.
00:42:29.400 And so
00:42:32.540 I'm putting
00:42:33.360 the odds
00:42:33.940 of the
00:42:34.340 vaccine
00:42:34.980 making the
00:42:35.920 difference
00:42:36.420 at odds
00:42:40.040 of the
00:42:40.300 vaccine
00:42:40.780 making all
00:42:41.480 the difference
00:42:42.160 30%.
00:42:44.040 30%
00:42:45.880 that the
00:42:46.320 vaccine is
00:42:46.980 the answer.
00:42:48.100 The likely
00:42:49.300 answer is
00:42:50.120 a war
00:42:51.840 on every
00:42:52.340 front
00:42:52.700 where we're
00:42:53.560 just doing
00:42:53.960 everything that
00:42:54.760 works
00:42:55.100 and I
00:42:56.400 think the
00:42:56.940 blood
00:42:58.540 serum
00:42:58.900 thing
00:42:59.280 is
00:42:59.740 clearly
00:43:00.200 going to
00:43:00.480 be in
00:43:00.740 that
00:43:00.920 category.
00:43:01.740 That's
00:43:02.080 the one
00:43:02.360 thing
00:43:02.580 nobody
00:43:02.940 doubts
00:43:03.360 will
00:43:03.620 work.
00:43:05.120 I don't
00:43:05.640 think there's
00:43:06.080 anybody
00:43:06.400 smart
00:43:07.020 who says
00:43:08.280 that the
00:43:08.840 blood serum
00:43:11.160 thing
00:43:11.520 wouldn't
00:43:12.040 work.
00:43:12.660 It just
00:43:13.020 might be
00:43:13.360 hard to
00:43:13.740 scale it
00:43:14.260 up.
00:43:14.480 But I
00:43:14.800 think we
00:43:15.100 can figure
00:43:15.480 that out
00:43:15.960 if people
00:43:16.480 like me
00:43:16.940 are willing
00:43:17.820 to overpay
00:43:18.460 for the
00:43:18.760 service.
00:43:20.860 I'm seeing
00:43:21.620 percentages go
00:43:22.540 by but I
00:43:22.980 don't know
00:43:23.160 what you're
00:43:23.520 speaking about.
00:43:28.620 A game
00:43:29.480 changer is
00:43:30.120 not 30%.
00:43:31.660 I think
00:43:32.620 there's just
00:43:33.040 a 30%
00:43:33.780 chance that
00:43:34.400 the virus
00:43:35.920 vaccinations
00:43:37.340 will make
00:43:37.980 all the
00:43:38.280 difference.
00:43:44.860 Somebody
00:43:45.380 says the
00:43:45.840 vaccine will
00:43:46.400 be a
00:43:46.620 home run.
00:43:47.100 I like
00:43:47.560 your
00:43:47.780 optimism.
00:43:48.460 But keep
00:43:50.640 in mind
00:43:51.160 that we
00:43:52.240 haven't been
00:43:52.880 successful
00:43:53.420 with these
00:43:54.000 vaccines in
00:43:54.880 the past.
00:43:56.020 It would
00:43:56.400 be kind
00:43:56.740 of remarkable
00:43:57.280 if it
00:43:57.880 worked.
00:43:58.720 Even if
00:43:59.140 it works,
00:43:59.680 it might
00:43:59.920 only work
00:44:00.340 for 50%
00:44:02.540 of the
00:44:02.780 public.
00:44:03.500 That's
00:44:03.740 according
00:44:04.020 to Fauci.
00:44:05.320 Fauci is
00:44:06.000 warning us
00:44:06.600 that getting
00:44:07.720 the shot
00:44:08.440 doesn't mean
00:44:08.960 you're
00:44:09.160 immune.
00:44:10.000 It might
00:44:10.380 mean you're
00:44:10.860 more immune.
00:44:12.340 50%
00:44:13.440 of the
00:44:14.600 people,
00:44:15.040 maybe.
00:44:15.340 Something like
00:44:15.700 that.
00:44:15.920 monoclonal
00:44:19.200 antibodies.
00:44:20.040 I have a
00:44:20.360 big question
00:44:20.900 about why
00:44:21.660 we don't
00:44:22.940 know what's
00:44:23.420 going on
00:44:23.880 with that.
00:44:24.280 The idea
00:44:24.860 is you
00:44:25.160 take
00:44:25.400 somebody's
00:44:26.100 antibodies
00:44:26.680 from their
00:44:27.260 blood and
00:44:28.420 instead of
00:44:28.940 just making
00:44:29.660 them give
00:44:30.160 more and
00:44:30.540 more antibodies,
00:44:31.660 you clone
00:44:32.380 it in a
00:44:33.020 machine.
00:44:34.000 I don't know
00:44:34.660 whatever kind
00:44:35.880 of chemistry
00:44:36.360 you have to
00:44:36.800 do to do
00:44:37.220 that.
00:44:38.020 But I don't
00:44:38.560 know why
00:44:38.960 we're not
00:44:39.360 doing that
00:44:39.900 already.
00:44:40.320 So that
00:44:41.680 feels like
00:44:42.260 a big
00:44:42.540 black hole
00:44:43.300 of knowledge
00:44:45.020 where we
00:44:45.660 should really
00:44:46.140 know what's
00:44:46.840 going on
00:44:47.340 because that
00:44:47.800 could be
00:44:48.160 easily the
00:44:48.720 most promising
00:44:49.440 thing.
00:44:55.280 Ivermectin.
00:44:56.040 Yeah, I'm
00:44:56.360 reading about
00:44:56.860 ivermectin,
00:44:57.600 but I need
00:44:58.120 to figure out
00:44:59.200 what's going
00:44:59.640 on there.
00:45:03.600 All right.
00:45:05.620 A meth
00:45:06.140 house blew
00:45:06.720 up in
00:45:07.080 Baltimore,
00:45:07.640 somebody says.
00:45:08.700 How did I
00:45:09.220 miss that
00:45:09.640 story?
00:45:10.840 You have
00:45:11.080 flu shots.
00:45:11.780 Regular flu
00:45:12.280 shots don't
00:45:12.820 always work.
00:45:18.580 Feed your
00:45:19.280 mitochondria.
00:45:22.300 I like that
00:45:23.180 comment.
00:45:24.020 Feed your
00:45:24.440 mitochondria.
00:45:25.360 Look it up.
00:45:26.700 All right.
00:45:30.840 Are you
00:45:31.500 saying it
00:45:31.860 will be an
00:45:32.280 annual shot?
00:45:33.460 Oh, I
00:45:33.840 don't know.
00:45:35.280 I doubt it.
00:45:38.480 Your death
00:45:39.300 rate percent
00:45:39.900 seems high.
00:45:40.680 Yeah, you
00:45:41.580 should check
00:45:42.140 that.
00:45:43.000 Check my
00:45:43.700 death rate
00:45:44.660 estimates.
00:45:48.160 Because it
00:45:48.800 feels like
00:45:49.180 99% of the
00:45:50.200 people survive,
00:45:50.960 right?
00:45:51.360 I think the
00:45:52.100 three-point
00:45:53.880 whatever death
00:45:55.240 rate includes
00:45:56.560 people over
00:45:57.180 80, and
00:45:58.600 there are a
00:45:58.860 lot of
00:45:59.120 them.
00:45:59.240 somebody says
00:46:04.580 wrong, Scott.
00:46:05.620 Regeneron is
00:46:06.260 doing a trial
00:46:06.940 on antibodies.
00:46:08.320 They're doing a
00:46:08.920 trial on it, but
00:46:09.840 what part is
00:46:10.380 wrong?
00:46:12.080 Was there
00:46:12.580 something I
00:46:13.020 said that
00:46:13.440 violates the
00:46:14.440 fact that
00:46:14.860 there's a
00:46:15.180 company doing
00:46:15.680 a trial on
00:46:16.260 antibodies?
00:46:18.560 Dow is up.
00:46:20.400 All right,
00:46:21.000 that's all I
00:46:21.360 got for now.
00:46:21.920 I will talk
00:46:22.400 to you
00:46:22.940 later.
00:46:24.340 here.
