Summary
We can no longer pretend that being overweight is healthy. It's time to stop pretending that being obese is healthy, because it's not! We're in a health crisis, folks, and we need to wake up to the fact that obesity is a deadly pandemic that needs to stop.

hey everybody come on in come on in do you have your coffee ready do you yeah well good run if
00:00:16.740
you don't run i say because it's time for the best part of the day it's called the simultaneous sip
00:00:23.500
and coffee with scott adams luckily i'm scott adams so that means you're in the right place
00:00:29.260
at the right time two things that went right for you today and i think you know what's coming
00:00:35.860
yeah yeah all you need is a copper mug or glass a tank or chalice or stein a canteen jug or flask
00:00:42.360
a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the
00:00:50.360
unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called
00:00:54.380
the simultaneous sip and it's going to happen now go
00:00:58.840
all right i will add now to your list of twitter accounts which you should be following
00:01:12.260
because there are people that i will quote often and have useful different things to say and this
00:01:19.760
one is rasmussen reports so the folks who do the rasmussen poll you need to follow their twitter
00:01:27.220
account because there's more interesting stuff coming out of their polls than there is in the
00:01:32.780
news right now actually so the polls are more interesting than the news here's uh something
00:01:37.900
that rasmussen reported it was on a tweet today two-thirds of all americans 65 years and older have
00:01:45.340
been vaccinated what did that kind of sneak up on you i didn't think it was this good two-thirds of
00:01:56.260
all americans over 65 have been vaccinated wow is that true and what should we be asking instead
00:02:08.080
what percentage of obese americans have been vaccinated sorry but we're in a health crisis and we can no
00:02:18.280
longer pretend that being overweight is healthy there was a uh tweet uh i saw this morning talk about
00:02:29.260
timing um let's see jose rosada just twitter user uh tweets a cover of cosmo from just
00:02:38.020
a month ago that showed a um i've told you before i don't do fat shaming so when i go into this
00:02:46.200
topic if i use a word like fat it's not an insult word i'm just speaking casually okay are we on the
00:02:54.440
same page we're not doing any fat shaming here today or any other day but we'll speak casually about
00:03:00.520
it because it's important um so it was a photo of a very overweight woman uh prancing around on the
00:03:10.900
cover and the cover said basically that this is healthy showed a very very large woman said this is
00:03:17.940
healthy now i'm not going to comment on whether that is a good or bad thing to put on a magazine
00:03:23.840
cover but i will tell you that uh the current information is that the odds of dying from covid are
00:03:30.920
10 times higher if you're above a certain weight 10 times the pandemic was really an overeating pandemic
00:03:41.660
it really was because if you needed two things to die
00:03:46.820
nine nine out of ten times you know it's not not a complete uh statement but if you needed two
00:03:55.120
things to die you needed the virus but you also most of the time like nine out of ten times
00:04:01.940
you had to be a certain weight was it the virus that killed you
00:04:06.340
or was it having two problems that killed you and either one of them would not have
00:04:13.960
individually how do you say it's the one thing that killed you and not the other thing when both of
00:04:19.660
them are known to be deadly health risks and you need both of them most times you know nine out of
00:04:26.720
ten times you need both of them in order to have the worst result so i feel as if this is another case
00:04:34.120
where being trying to be uh politically correct which is to say that people who are above a certain
00:04:42.800
weight are perfectly healthy because we know that's not true we know that's not true but again don't do
00:04:51.740
fat shaving it's a legitimate medical issue and um it's just it's crazy that we ignore it now here's a
00:05:01.920
counterfactual we saw that uh the countries that have the worst um weight problems also have bad
00:05:09.780
outcomes but wouldn't that hold for states within a country shouldn't you expect the same correlation
00:05:16.640
that wherever you have the uh largest citizens you should have the worst outcomes right here are three
00:05:25.240
states in the united states who are unusually good on controlling weight three states that have low bmi so
00:05:36.960
these are these are the least fat among the least fat states of the united states here they are the least fat
00:05:47.240
fat people are let's see new york new jersey and california how did they do with the coronavirus three worst ones
00:06:00.720
right so our three are three three of among the the skinniest of our states new york new jersey
00:06:08.520
and california pretty big difference between their weights and these those states and other states
00:06:14.740
and they did the worst they did the worst what's that mean well we every time we think we found the
00:06:23.580
golden nugget of data that explains everything ah sweden now we know what's oh no we don't oh it's the
00:06:31.400
bmi every time you see okay no that doesn't work there are just a few too many variables going on
00:06:38.580
i'll just toss out a few things that could be making this misleading number one florida does not have a
00:06:47.160
border with mexico why is it that every time we mentioned california every time why don't we say
00:06:56.780
well california is basically mexico now when you're looking at the virus because once the border
00:07:03.540
becomes porous it becomes porous and largely it was porous during trump as well that's not just
00:07:09.480
something new with biden maybe it's worse but why do we not mention that california and mexico should be
00:07:17.580
effectively seen as the same continuum of virus problem the border doesn't have doesn't have
00:07:26.160
meaning to a virus whereas florida's over there surrounded mostly by water and then united states
00:07:34.860
does that not matter are we going to treat look treat that like that's not a variable that
00:07:43.420
um yeah i feel as if that's another wokeness problem where we can't mention that it seems obvious that if you
00:07:53.440
have a porous border during a pandemic you have less control of quarantining and stuff i mean that's
00:07:59.240
not that's not a statement about anybody right that's just math so i guess we're not allowed to
00:08:05.300
say that so we're not allowed to say that it was a weight problem as much as a virus problem
00:08:11.740
as much as it was a virus problem it was equally a weight problem if we can't say that out loud
00:08:20.280
how do you fix things if you can't even talk about them right and we don't have to shame anybody to
00:08:27.260
just state that there's a health impact all right um even california is starting to open up
00:08:36.780
even my restrictive stupid incompetent state starting to open up so even some mass events will have
00:08:46.920
small crowds but there'll be at least big events i don't know about you but today is the day
00:08:55.140
i feel like we won now one of the problems with uh beating a pandemic is that there's no day when you
00:09:05.600
can say oh the war is over it's not like you fight a regular war against people and then you have an event
00:09:12.620
and you sign a sign a peace deal or whatever surrender deal and you have a day that that's
00:09:18.440
the end of it so the pandemic won't have a day i feel like we need one i feel like we need one
00:09:25.760
when it's over whatever day everybody who's smart says yeah it's definitely over we should have some
00:09:33.140
kind of a celebration maybe not every year i don't know if we need to add a holiday but we need
00:09:38.940
one good celebration in this country anyway to acknowledge what the hell we just did and are
00:09:47.660
doing here's my take on it as of today i feel we won i feel like the war is over now it's not over
00:09:58.840
there's way more work to do right but it feels like the kind of work that's more like the marshall plan
00:10:05.160
i feel like we're you know as much in the recovery phase as we are in the fighting the war phase at
00:10:12.760
this point so i feel like something amazing has happened when was the last time the entire world
00:10:23.200
was on the same page when was the last time the entire world had to fight the same battle
00:10:31.100
even if you took world war ii and you say well in world war ii you know the whole world got together
00:10:38.320
no it didn't no it didn't the whole world was fighting against other parts of the world
00:10:42.940
that was when people were fighting other people that's what a world war is people versus people
00:10:49.040
this is the first time as far as i know the first time the entire humankind
00:10:56.380
has ever joined in the same side of the same war can you think of it can you think of anything like
00:11:04.240
it i can't in in many ways this is the greatest thing humanity has ever done in the sense of uh it
00:11:13.360
has the communication tools you know the the ability to coordinate as one giant entity you know i wrote a
00:11:20.120
book called uh god's debris years ago and i won't give away the central conceit of the book as lawyers
00:11:27.720
like yes not lawyers as uh authors like to use big words and i feel as if this was the year
00:11:36.860
the humanity became in a small way just sort of glancing it one entity meaning that before this
00:11:48.720
year you could say we had seven billion people and they were just separate entities yeah some of them
00:11:54.240
operated as governments and some of them operated as organizations but for the most part it was just
00:11:59.880
seven plus billion individuals with some rules and then the pandemic hit and suddenly every single
00:12:09.320
human was on the same side yeah we you know we argue with china and stuff but there's no question that
00:12:15.980
both china and the united states wanted to beat the virus once it was out there so i feel as if
00:12:22.820
something so big has happened that you can't see it because that could happen right sometimes
00:12:32.040
something can be so big that it's invisible and the thing that is so big is that humanity just evolved
00:12:43.020
that's how big it is that humanity became a new collective sentient being first time first time for
00:12:57.160
all of us to be on the same page and you know of course there are exceptions or people who never even
00:13:02.860
heard of the virus living in uncontacted tribes and whatnot but but largely largely we just became a one entity
00:13:12.300
and will that have lasting benefits i think so think of all the medical community people who now know each
00:13:19.140
other especially in the virology world who now have met each other and shared techniques and tools now have
00:13:25.640
an open channel to each other than never had it before right humanity
00:13:31.320
is starting to compete with god you've got uh elon musk literally getting ready to put people
00:13:42.620
on mars what do you think we're going to do when we get there we're going to terraform it
00:13:48.360
eventually now i i don't know that you know elon musk has any specific plan for terraforming mars
00:13:57.120
but it's going to happen it's going to happen humans have reached the point
00:14:04.480
where we can turn a planet into a different planet think about it that's that's completely within our
00:14:13.140
scope of probability it's not even just a possibility it's a probability
00:14:17.980
probability at this point that humans will terraform another planet maybe in your lifetime the beginning
00:14:24.600
of it so we have evolved into almost a god-like not equal to god but you know in some of the lesser
00:14:34.080
abilities almost god-like and believe it or not i'm not stoned i see somebody asking in the in the
00:14:43.400
comments no no i'm not i know it's amazing too optimistic now i know some of you are on the the
00:14:52.500
opposite page you're saying to yourself my god that's not what happened 1984 came early uh the big powers
00:14:58.920
that be have all coordinated to give us this fake pandemic they say and the real reason is to consolidate
00:15:05.020
power no it isn't no it isn't none of that happened there was no meeting where where like uh shadowy
00:15:16.860
figures got together and said if we if we release this pandemic and handle it a certain way uh we'll get
00:15:24.560
we'll concentrate all the power in our hands that didn't happen that didn't happen and uh but a lot
00:15:34.800
of people will believe it happened along those lines i've decided that there's a great need that needs to
00:15:40.880
be filled and i think i'm going to start filling it it goes like this you've heard me say before
00:15:46.100
that um defense attorneys especially the ones who are defending people you're pretty sure are guilty
00:15:53.800
are not really serving just the client a defense attorney is serving the public because the
00:16:00.840
public has a tremendous need to know that trials are fair and that the the accused gets like the most
00:16:08.080
aggressive defense they could possibly have because you want that when you get accused of something
00:16:12.680
right so when we like to hate the lawyers that take the case of somebody who's heinous you know a
00:16:19.800
serial killer and you know who's going to defend oj and you see you want to hate those lawyers for being
00:16:25.580
like on the side of evil but they're not they're exactly the opposite of that they're on your side because
00:16:32.940
if you don't have those aggressive defense lawyers you don't have anything you don't have anything if
00:16:38.780
you get rid of them the whole system's gone right but look what's happened recently we used to have
00:16:46.820
uh the judicial system which would be the only place you could go to to be judged and then um a penalty
00:16:54.520
assessed if you were judged guilty but that's changed now the judicial system is only one of the places
00:17:03.680
that you can be judged for your alleged crime and punished it's only one of the places now the other
00:17:12.800
places in public opinion because our social media and our communications are so good now we we've
00:17:20.300
developed almost a shadow court where you can be uh you can be charged like dr seuss dr seuss is being
00:17:29.480
charged of basically a crime against humanity in you know even that what's the word when you're tried
00:17:36.800
after your dad what's the fancy word for that put it in the comments so i can remember it um and if he
00:17:44.020
were alive he would be penalized right now what is it that the judicial system has that this new system
00:17:54.900
that just evolved this shadow court of public opinion what does it not have as a system i'll tell you
00:18:02.260
what it doesn't have suppose you're accused of something horrible and let's say there's a big
00:18:09.180
article about it in some major publication and you don't personally have a lot of twitter followers you
00:18:15.840
don't personally write for a national magazine and maybe if they even had you on they'd only give you
00:18:21.860
one minute if you went on tv so you can't really defend yourself you are completely defenseless
00:18:28.160
if you were if you don't have your own platform now somebody like trump can just create his own
00:18:35.060
platform everything he says gets attention but the rest of you can't how do you create your own
00:18:41.640
platform and defend yourself against being accused tried convicted and penalized losing your job losing
00:18:50.280
your friends losing your reputation what the hell do you do well i'll tell you one thing that's missing
00:18:56.140
in the process a defense lawyer where's the defense lawyer right once you're accused it's sort of the
00:19:03.920
end of the story because you don't have recourse and so i've decided that in some cases i can't do
00:19:11.820
a lot of them i'm going to be that defense lawyer so i'm going to pick people who have been accused of
00:19:19.000
heinous things and i don't know how many of these i can do but i'm going to essentially act as the
00:19:27.420
defense i'll have them on as a guest and i'll give them a non-limited time to give me their side of the
00:19:35.380
story i'll push them as hard as i can right it's not my job to i'm not going to try to redeem people
00:19:41.020
right i'm not trying to fix them i'm just going to give them a voice because right now there's no
00:19:48.760
defense lawyer and part of the reason there can be no defense lawyer in the in the public realm
00:19:54.580
is that being the defense lawyer would ruin you as well right your life your career your your job
00:20:03.000
all of it would be at risk if you were to publicly defend somebody who was accused of something terrible
00:20:09.220
so i'm going to do it because you know what if i if i get uh accused of heinous things by defending
00:20:19.900
or somebody will think i'm defending rather i'm just giving them a voice uh if i'm accused of all
00:20:25.680
those things fuck fuck everybody fuck all of you i'm gonna do whatever i want and uh you're just gonna
00:20:32.060
have to deal with it so i'm in a unique situation in which i'm hard to cancel i am cancelable
00:20:38.680
i'm very cancelable but i'm a little bit hard to cancel and it it creates sort of a spider-man
00:20:46.040
problem do you know what the spider-man problem is the spider-man famously says in one of his movies
00:20:52.820
uh with great power comes great responsibility now it's not that i have great power but i do have a
00:21:00.640
uh let's say a sort of a special uh i don't want to call myself special but but the place i
00:21:08.520
occupy is special meaning that i can just get away with more stuff than you can get away with because
00:21:14.900
i don't have the same penalty problem so i feel as if i have to do it like i i feel like it's it's
00:21:22.640
like this uh this magnetic call that's saying okay you know you're you can do this so you have to
00:21:29.700
do you get that have you ever felt that that you're the only one who can
00:21:35.500
so you have to right it's like uh there's a fiery wreck on the highway and the car's on fire
00:21:43.300
and everybody stops and they want to help but everybody's afraid except one person always in
00:21:50.100
a pickup truck you you don't have to like this but the one person who saves you usually arrives
00:21:57.440
in a pickup truck i don't know why i'm not saying that this would hold in all cases i'm just saying
00:22:03.600
if somebody's going to save your damn life and you're and you're in a lot of trouble the person
00:22:10.740
who's going to save your life probably will arrive in a pickup truck i'm just saying you you can
00:22:18.380
interpret that any way you want it's just true they're going to probably arrive in a pickup truck
00:22:23.080
and one of those people is going to say i will reach in that truck and pull that person out
00:22:27.980
and i'll get you know third degree burns and stuff but i'll do that and the reason they will do it is
00:22:35.400
that they know they can that's the only reason a bunch of people show up everybody's afraid to reach
00:22:42.020
into the burning wreck and there's one person who says i'll do it and they have to they have to
00:22:47.440
because they can that's it we're we're sort of built that way you have to help if you can
00:22:52.960
so i didn't pick this place but i'm i'm going to be uh defending some people that maybe you wish i
00:23:00.980
hadn't okay so i'm going to be setting this up and as we go but we'll we'll bring a voice to the
00:23:08.440
people who uh are most let's say most controversial and we'll see where that goes
00:23:14.920
all right um no i tried it out a little bit with uh i talked to nicki klein most of you saw that
00:23:24.000
interview uh she was associated with the nexium what people call a cult but they didn't call a cult
00:23:32.100
um and i thought that that went well that was well received so i think i want to do more of
00:23:37.560
that kind of thing all right um here's the most fun hypothesis speculation i've seen all day
00:23:50.100
christopher hill tweeted this he's a good follow you should follow him on twitter christopher hill
00:23:55.520
anyway um he tweeted a meme that shows a path for trump to win the presidency but is way more fun
00:24:05.000
than just running in 2024 are you ready all right follow this path and tell me which part could not
00:24:11.520
happen all right is this something he could easily do tell me what wouldn't work on the following
00:24:18.920
number one trump runs for the senate in 2022 from florida could he win i don't even know who else would
00:24:29.220
be running right but could so here's the first part could trump win the senate if he ran in 2022
00:24:34.660
i feel i feel yes i feel yes especially in florida right so that part seems practical i'm not saying he
00:24:42.700
would do this this is just for fun next if he had lots of coattails because we saw that when trump
00:24:50.620
um was was uh supporting other candidates they won almost every time so could trump
00:24:58.660
based on let's say whatever bad job we think biden does between now and then and and the congress of
00:25:06.040
course looks like a bunch of animals at this point could he win enough uh bring enough people with him
00:25:13.720
with his coattails that the republicans could take back congress and the senate i mean congress do you
00:25:22.180
think he could do that he kind of could i think he kind of could now everything depends on how well
00:25:29.920
biden does between now and then but imagine a world in which biden continues to fail the things that
00:25:37.400
biden does end up having to be the same thing trump did or it doesn't work right so take immigration and
00:25:45.580
kids in cages biden either has to end up doing the same thing trump did or he has to fail
00:25:51.720
what are what are his other choices right so every time biden is in that situation where he either has
00:26:01.040
to do what trump did or fail he's just going to look worse and worse as as trump will look better
00:26:08.760
and better so yeah i think it is actually possible that trump could and again i don't think he'll do
00:26:16.820
this it's just fun to talk about uh he could run for senate he could win in florida and he could have
00:26:21.760
enough coattails he might actually flip the whole the whole house and the senate that's how that could do
00:26:28.800
it gets better you you want to hear the good part and then trump becomes speaker of the house
00:26:37.160
you feel it yet and then trump becomes speaker of the house and takes nancy pelosi's job
00:26:45.940
i'm not done wait i'm not done have i said anything yet that you can't imagine happening now again i don't
00:26:56.860
think it'll happen but is any part of this impossible it really isn't is it right it gets it gets better
00:27:05.540
now trump's the speaker of the house and then he leads the impeachment against harris and biden
00:27:18.180
and we know that uh votes for impeachment just follow party lines so it wouldn't matter if that
00:27:30.040
was a good case a bad case it wouldn't matter if you think anybody should be impeached for any of that
00:27:34.560
it would only matter how many republicans there are
00:27:38.060
and if they decide to impeach both harris and biden and by the way this is fully impeachable
00:27:47.280
the fine people hoax is a very impeachable offense in my opinion it drives the country apart
00:27:53.580
i mean it's just the worst thing that's ever happened in this country in my opinion
00:27:59.880
um so now let's say he he impeaches successfully biden and harris who's the president
00:28:07.580
that's right the speaker of the house becomes the president if both the president and the vice
00:28:20.420
president are impeached trump would take the last two years of biden's term i'm not done yet
00:28:29.860
i'm not done yet and then in 2024 he runs for president
00:28:36.440
now again i don't think this is going to happen and the main reason i don't think it's going to
00:28:47.600
happen is i can't see trump running for a lesser office as funny as it would be i can't see him
00:28:53.860
doing it and being a senator is sort of a it's sort of a it's less fun
00:28:59.320
than being president right so i can't see trump doing it but the fact that this path even exists
00:29:05.900
the fact that it even could happen is so delicious that i almost can't stand it
00:29:13.640
all right um i'm going to talk about uh some stuff that will probably get me canceled next you ready
00:29:22.280
this next topic people get canceled for even mentioning it so you may never see me again
00:29:30.360
and i'd like to begin by begging to the gods of social media please do not misinterpret what i say
00:29:42.000
next please let me remain a vital part of the social media platforms let me let me exist
00:29:51.640
please don't cancel me um i'm going to quote again rasmussen i told you you should follow them
00:30:00.580
they're making all kinds of news today and they're tweeting a story in one of the georgia
00:30:05.640
local publication that says the following and before i tell you this have i mentioned
00:30:12.200
that the courts have found no proof of widespread voter fraud hear that hear that as clearly as you can
00:30:25.400
the courts have found no proof no proof of widespread widespread voter fraud so let's all agree on that
00:30:37.800
that's just a fact that's just a fact don't cancel me don't cancel me
00:30:42.760
and so i give you the following fact as reported by rasmussen in a tweet um there's a publication that
00:30:53.960
reports it uh that georgia's chain of custody for the votes the mail-in votes is missing over 400 000
00:31:03.000
mail-in ballots for georgia and then georgia um the ballot transfer forms and they show you the uh
00:31:12.680
the chain of custody so there's some forms that need to be filled out as part of the normal process
00:31:19.480
of voting in georgia and what percentage of the mail-in ballots by the way i think georgia was won by only
00:31:27.640
12 000 votes so the the margin of difference in georgia is 12 000 votes but there are over 400 000 votes
00:31:37.800
where the chain of custody is missing according to this publication and the ballot transfer forms show
00:31:46.920
78 percent of 89 000 absentee ballots from drop boxes were not transported to the registrar quote
00:31:55.480
immediately as election code rules require now i don't know what immediately requires like what
00:32:03.240
would it immediately mean i would say immediately would be within 24 hours maybe if that feels immediate
00:32:11.000
to me um so we have two alleged i'm not saying this it's not me i'm just saying what other people
00:32:22.360
are alleging please don't cancel me um what do you think of that now who is working on fixing this
00:32:34.920
well who's the politician who says well you can argue about what happened but we've already moved on
00:32:41.240
biden is your president um but we'll fix it for next time we're not saying there was any fraud we're
00:32:48.920
just saying that there's a transparency problem who's working on that which which one of our uh
00:32:56.920
important uh national or even state politicians is working on fixing this nobody nobody not even trying
00:33:07.080
if you thought we had a real election we didn't there was not transparency without transparency you didn't
00:33:14.440
have an election does that get me canceled let me say it again if you don't have transparency in the
00:33:22.520
election process you only think you had an election you didn't have a fucking election you had one you think
00:33:30.360
you had and that's it if there's no transparency or insufficient transparency so um i do agree that biden's
00:33:39.880
the president the system has installed him that should not change through any anything other than a vote
00:33:47.800
or impeachment i suppose but uh how do you ignore this i don't know um tom peters who you may know as
00:33:58.200
one of the most famous business management gurus in the world had this to say about bernie sanders
00:34:05.880
i guess tom peters has lived in vermont for a long time uh or he used to he said speaking as a former
00:34:11.880
long-term vermonter ho-hum bernie has never proposed anything that is doable
00:34:20.040
as of my departure from vermont bernie had accomplished zero in his career other than to be in favor of quote
00:34:27.080
good things and i think to myself i don't think that's an unfair statement that he's never done anything
00:34:39.160
now what's the difference between bernie proposing things that can't be done versus trump proposing
00:34:47.640
things that can't be done do you know what the difference is trump doesn't both trump and bernie
00:34:56.680
have the same quality they both propose things that can't be done but the difference is that trump
00:35:03.320
doesn't vaccinations you can't do that in less than 18 months oh okay i guess you did it right
00:35:12.280
getting some kind of a peace with north korea are you kidding me you can't have a any kind of a
00:35:17.640
stability or friendship with north oh oh he did it
00:35:22.680
you can't possibly have a trade war with china and you know expect that anything good get
00:35:33.320
oh trump did it he did it so that's a pretty big difference isn't it they both promise the
00:35:42.200
impossible but one doesn't now i know you hate this topic but i always i have to throw aoc in here
00:35:49.640
because she's one of the few interesting people to watch these days aoc is she is she bernie
00:35:57.800
promising things that really can't be done that won't be done or or is she trump
00:36:07.240
now she hasn't been in a position where she can do the impossible she's recommending the impossible
00:36:12.120
but suppose she were in a position to do the impossible could she do it trump did bernie
00:36:21.160
didn't how do you know well i would not say it's it's any way obvious that she could pull off the
00:36:29.320
impossible i'm just saying it's hard to tell isn't it sometimes you don't know who can do the impossible
00:36:34.840
um but that's an open question all right uh the other favorite story of the day is that uh watching
00:36:42.440
this will be my segment democrats eat their own so i guess last night bill maher had charlemagne the god
00:36:49.720
on and you would see both of them as associated with the left right and i guess they were arguing
00:36:59.000
uh on the show about which of these democratic leaders is more rapey um was it joe biden who was
00:37:06.840
accused of worse sexual offenses or is it uh andrew colmo and to watch to uh i would i don't think you
00:37:16.920
could call uh bill maher a democrat exactly but at least in policy and philosophy philosophy he's more aligned
00:37:25.080
i think at least lately but watching these two sort of big names in that space arguing about which
00:37:33.080
democrat was more of a rapist or more sexually inappropriate not you know i'm exaggerating with
00:37:40.280
the the rape claim um it kind of tells you where things are going doesn't it and um
00:37:49.640
so this is happening in the context of you know dr seuss getting cancelled the trump vaccinations saving
00:37:58.440
the world and you know iran is heating up and if you see if you see uh bill maher and charlemagne the god
00:38:07.240
arguing about which democrat is more of a sexual abuser do you really think trump can't win in 2024
00:38:15.000
because as long as as long as trump stays sort of uh on the sideline but in our minds you know these
00:38:25.000
these little press releases he puts out the hit pieces on carl rove and you know hit piece of this
00:38:30.440
and that are kind of effective because it keeps him in the news but he's not making mistakes because
00:38:37.320
he's not in office right you don't have as much to criticize when somebody's not in office
00:38:41.400
so i feel as if trump just has to sort of rope a dope you know let let the other side punch itself
00:38:48.760
out so to speak and he just has to walk into the job now health of course would be the big thing
00:38:54.760
and let me say as as clearly as i can so that i have some credibility here i don't think we should
00:39:01.880
have presidents of that age i don't think trump should be president at that age and i don't think
00:39:08.760
biden should be president at this age it's just too old and there's no way around that right now
00:39:17.880
i'm going to reserve a decision about whether trump should be president in 2024 because i think every
00:39:25.800
month that goes by you have a better read on his health so if it's a month before election day 2024
00:39:33.240
i'm going to be looking really hard at whether trump it looks like he's still operating at peak
00:39:39.960
performance or at least whatever the peak was for the first administration and if it's not there i
00:39:47.240
don't know i i'm i don't think i can back somebody who's mentally degraded if that happens i don't think
00:39:54.360
it's happened but if it happens i think you got to take that into consideration so as i said with
00:40:02.120
the vaccination my own decision will wait as long as possible and let me ask you this do you remember
00:40:09.480
you were told that the vaccination would have side effects and that you might have some flu-like symptoms
00:40:16.520
you might feel achy and have a terrible day for maybe a day or so remember you heard that and now
00:40:25.000
millions of people have been vaccinated how many news reports have you heard
00:40:31.560
of people having a hard time with the side effects of the vaccination itself
00:40:35.480
it feels like there's a news blackout doesn't it doesn't it because even the people who made the
00:40:46.280
vaccination said there's going to be a whole bunch of side effects and it's going to be unpleasant
00:40:53.000
where's that in the news i know i know personally somebody who had a really hard time with it
00:41:00.040
now of course he's happy he got it right it's somebody who definitely should have the shot
00:41:05.400
he had a hard day and a half but he's certainly happy he got it right now he's protected
00:41:12.600
90 million people vaccinated and the news is just silent both the left and the right they're just
00:41:19.640
silent on whether people are having a hard time with it is that good well if you were to look at it as
00:41:27.880
is the media in charge of the country you'd say that maybe that's good leadership because you want
00:41:33.960
people to get the shot if they have a bad day they have a bad day right that's just the cost of
00:41:39.480
getting to the other side of this but you would imagine that if it were reported more aggressively
00:41:45.400
that fewer people would get the shots right so is the news intentionally managing what we think
00:41:54.040
about this shot for the public good and i'm not even sure what i think about that
00:42:01.000
would you be mad at your news organizations if they decided to help save the world
00:42:06.120
by under reporting this thing that doesn't make much difference you know the side effects it doesn't
00:42:12.840
make much difference but if they reported it honestly fewer people would get the shot that's
00:42:17.480
just a fact right it feels like we're being managed doesn't it it feels very much like both the left and
00:42:25.000
the right news have decided that they just don't want to talk about that because it wouldn't be good for
00:42:30.360
the world to do it maybe or maybe the side effects are not nearly as bad as we thought which one is it
00:42:40.840
somebody says take ibuprofen after the second shot i don't know if that's a medical advice so don't
00:42:47.400
don't take that as medical advice i'm just reading a comment all right um
00:42:52.760
um so here's a story why don't you see if you can judge whether this is real news or fake news
00:43:05.480
this comes from the daily mail british publication they say that back in 2012 a north carolina man
00:43:12.840
hit a 10-inch revolver in his rectum after being booked into jail he even passed a squat and cough test
00:43:20.680
do you believe that in nine that in 2012 a man who was booked into jail had hit a 10-inch revolver
00:43:33.560
handle and all in his rectum now i assume it was loaded because it would be hard to smuggle
00:43:42.040
bullets into jail so you'd want to load it but here's my advice to the next uh the next prison
00:43:50.280
doctor who does or guard or whatever who asked somebody to do a squat and cough test during the
00:43:57.320
cough stand to the side because i feel like the cough could fire the gun now imagine if it did
00:44:08.440
imagine if the guy you know i guess they make you strip and bend over and cough to show that there's
00:44:14.360
nothing back there but what if the gun fired could he escape from prison by running down the hall and
00:44:23.320
whatever the guard came after him he could quickly drop his pants turn around bend over cough shoot the
00:44:32.200
guard with the bullet that comes out of his rectum and then pull up his pants and then run to the next
00:44:38.200
wreck's doorway i don't want anybody to be shot i'm just saying that if he had escaped from prison
00:44:50.120
by coughing and shooting bullets out of his rectum it would be the greatest story ever told
00:44:56.600
that's all i'm saying don't want it to happen i don't want a criminal to escape i don't want anybody
00:45:02.120
to be shot but if it had happened greatest story ever told i think you'd agree i think you'd agree
00:45:12.600
it's a movie that needs to be made if this isn't a uh
00:45:25.800
if he doesn't make this movie it's a waste waste of talent
00:45:28.840
uh and there's a story about uh kirsten cinema that nobody cares about so we'll skip that
00:45:36.840
all right um i believe that i've said most of what i want to say and the only thing i want to say
00:45:47.080
many of you also follow me on the locals platform
00:45:53.240
uh somebody says it sounds like a dr seuss book what would be the title of the
00:45:58.360
dr seuss book about the guy who escaped from prison by shooting bullets out of his rectum
00:46:13.480
i don't know can you come up with a better one top that i'm a professional so it's gonna be hard to
00:46:20.360
top that i know brown bullets and ham no brown bullets and spam brown bullets and spam jim carrey thank
00:46:27.720
you yes jim carrey should do the movie about the guy who escapes from prison with a 10-inch
00:46:33.640
uh revolver oh here's the other part i didn't even catch this the first time i read it the other part
00:46:41.720
it's funnier that it's a revolver because that means if he does the cough and shoot
00:46:51.080
you can actually feel the revolver revolving in his stomach like
00:46:53.960
i didn't think that could get better but it did
00:47:00.760
all right um i have a question for you i've told you that what i'm going to try to do with these live
00:47:07.480
streams and more so with the subscription service on locals locals.com where people in my community
00:47:15.640
get to see stuff that they don't get to see here if you are if you are on locals
00:47:21.640
are you getting your money's worth so that's that's the question are you getting your money's
00:47:26.520
worth in turn and specifically not in terms of entertainment because i don't do it just for
00:47:31.320
entertainment do you get your are you getting your money's worth on the subscription service
00:47:36.280
locals people who follow me in terms of uh life uh let's say building your talent stack and improving
00:47:45.880
your life skills and it'll take me a moment to uh to see this okay i'm seeing lots of yes
00:47:54.600
um because every now and then i need to check in on that since my proposition is that it's supposed
00:48:00.360
to be helpful to you i don't want to guess if it's helpful oh good i'm seeing almost all yeses
00:48:08.120
uh i see i see one no but that might have been to another question i don't know all right so for
00:48:14.520
those of you who are following locals the benefit i hope you will get will be the micro lessons that
00:48:19.560
i put there each of those is designed that within you know two to five to minutes usually in two to
00:48:27.800
five minutes you would add something to your talent stack that wasn't there before or reinforce
00:48:32.280
something that needed it and the idea is that everybody watches me on locals will become more
00:48:38.280
happy and successful and i wish there were a way to measure that i'll bet if you measured the life
00:48:44.600
outcomes of the people who follow me on locals compared to the general public that the graph would
00:48:50.520
be completely different because just the feedback i get from people they're saying it's changing their
00:48:56.280
lives people losing 45 pounds people you know people getting twice as much income people falling
00:49:04.120
in love all kinds of stuff so uh check out the other comments if you're wondering if it's worth it
00:49:09.960
of course everybody has a different reaction but it looks like overwhelmingly the people who are
00:49:15.000
staying on that service are happy all right um that's all i got for today and i will talk to you tomorrow
00:49:26.280
right youtubers you've got me for uh so you're asking what the bleep happened to gutfeld what do you
00:49:36.120
mean i don't think anything happened to him um yes the local subscription is seven dollars a month
00:49:45.960
i think the platform will be looking to group subscriptions so you can subscribe to more than one person affordably
00:49:51.960
uh somebody's saying you said a few weeks ago that trump could never be re-elected it changed your mind
00:50:01.640
yes yes changed my mind it's amazing how easily you forget that whatever the size of the uh the drama
00:50:11.320
for that week is that you'll forget it in three weeks so the the capital assault i've already kind of
00:50:17.880
forgotten and forgotten and if you're talking about three four years from now it's just not going to
00:50:23.080
matter at all what will matter totally is how biden and harris did you know biden's mental capacity
00:50:30.760
that sort of thing so if if trump stays healthy and he and he doesn't have any competition
00:50:38.680
except the ones we know now yeah he could win but i would say uh the country would be far better off
00:50:49.560
if some more uh if some capable politician emerged who could get elected who was younger
00:50:57.880
but i don't see it happening who who do you see emerging who could uh beat trump in 2024 if you see
00:51:08.200
somebody emerging then i'll revise my opinion but as long as he's not really he's not competing against
00:51:14.280
anybody at the moment there's nobody in his class he is absolutely alone in his class wouldn't you say
00:51:24.040
everybody else you can think of who is strong as as a politician they're still they're still in the
00:51:30.760
the the they're they're not even in the same layer as trump is they're not even close
00:51:39.080
and i've never seen that before have you and you don't realize how big that gap is um until you see trump
00:51:47.640
talking in public again every side every time you see him talking in public even though he's violating the
00:51:53.240
fact-checking like crazy there's something extra going on that is undeniable there's just something
00:52:00.440
extra that he brings that nobody else has yeah desantis desantis is um doing a great job as a manager
00:52:14.680
and i hate to say that because i don't have anything negative to say about what whatsoever but when you
00:52:19.960
see somebody doing a good job as a manager it doesn't feel the same as a leader does it right because
00:52:29.000
the things that desantis did that worked were just really good sort of ceo decisions you know he did
00:52:37.080
extra good on protecting old people um he was right about how much the uh closing the businesses made a
00:52:45.720
difference so he was right on a bunch of stuff but he was right kind of like a manager uh he's sort of
00:52:54.040
in that gray area there i just don't know if he has that that x factor uh he seems he seems like the best
00:53:03.480
the best manager you've ever hired but i don't know if he can if he can define himself as as a little
00:53:11.080
higher level than that that would be the challenge but i have nothing negative to say about him could
00:53:15.720
he be a good president i'll bet he could you know bet he could in fact i would say that of at least a
00:53:21.800
dozen different people you could give me a dozen different names that i would say yeah that could be
00:53:26.680
a good president rand paul yeah yeah he could be a good president tom cotton yes he could be a good
00:53:34.360
president but would they win all right that's all i got for today and i'll talk to you
