00:00:21.780 tanker chalice of style canteen jug glass a vessel of any kind fill it with your

00:00:25.860 favorite liquid I like coffee wait hold breaking news I'm getting breaking news

00:00:33.600 there's a new study that shows that drinking coffee in moderation keyword

00:00:40.080 moderation substantially reduces cancer and all cardiovascular problems true

00:00:48.900 story by the way I just tweeted it thank you Ian for pointing that out so just

00:00:55.260 think about this for a moment just think about this moderate coffee drinking

00:01:00.640 reduces your cancer and your cardiovascular risk if that's what you can do with

00:01:08.620 moderate coffee drinking think what you can do when you just start swilling it by

00:01:13.320 the gallon yeah superpowers that's how science works join me now for the

00:01:20.140 simultaneous sip go hold on hold on hold on that's not enough we're trying to

00:01:29.020 protect our health now one more go ah I feel a little bit I think I had a little

00:01:38.320 cancer in my shoulder but it feels better now yeah cardiovascular 20% better oh I'll

00:01:50.200 tell you you don't expect it to work that quickly but here it is all right well I

00:01:57.340 like to think that everybody who watches my content gets healthier and smarter and I

00:02:08.720 actually think that's really happening you know based on my feedback from people you

00:02:14.820 don't get to see it so you don't you don't see the the view that I see but the

00:02:19.520 number of people who contact me literally every day you know multiple people every day they've

00:02:24.340 lost weight they you know they're healthier they're happier they're getting younger and

00:02:30.080 apparently they're drinking coffee and and reducing the risk of serious illness so it's

00:02:36.340 all working it's working my plan is working I love the fact that every Saturday Bill Maher is

00:02:46.460 trending for something he said and I say to myself okay I get that it's a political show and stuff

00:02:53.180 so you know those things make news but every week every week he's trending and I'm trying to figure

00:03:01.260 out what is it he does that makes him trend every week and I think the answer is he sometimes tells

00:03:08.660 the truth now I think actually most of the time he tells the truth uh like most people but they don't

00:03:16.460 do it on tv he actually tells the truth on tv and everybody goes whoa what the hell the next thing 0.54

00:03:25.380 you know it's like trending on twitter and and that literally is what's happening he literally is just

00:03:31.120 telling you the truth and it becomes like a national story it's so rare but uh he uh apparently he's

00:03:40.240 joining me uh somewhat in this opinion that movies uh are no longer worth your time and

00:03:49.060 this is what he said in a tweet today about about the current batch of movies I love this tweet so

00:04:00.180 Bill Maher says I don't have to leave the theater whistling but would it kill Hollywood to once in a

00:04:06.440 while make a movie that doesn't make me want to take a bath with a toaster he says we all had a rough

00:04:14.100 year a little escapism would have been appreciated now let me let me climb on that a little bit you

00:04:23.080 know I've been telling you for a long time that if you willingly consume uh sad fiction there's just a

00:04:30.280 bunch of people with problems because that's what a movie is you know the movie arc is I got a really

00:04:35.520 big problem and I'm going to make you look at my big problems for three hours and maybe at the end

00:04:40.540 we'll be happy or maybe at the end a lot of people will be dead one of those and yeah I hear Godzilla

00:04:48.100 versus Kong is actually pretty good I'm surprised I can't believe honestly I can't even imagine how that

00:04:55.180 movie could be good here's a spoiler for the uh King Kong and Godzilla movie so if if you're going to

00:05:05.140 watch the movie I haven't watched the movie I haven't watched it so I'm going to give you a spoiler

00:05:09.340 for the movie having never watched it and never heard anything about it all right this hand is Godzilla

00:05:15.960 this hand is King Kong I will now show you the entire movie Godzilla versus King Kong

00:05:25.140 the end that is the entire movie and I believe I've saved you a little bit money there and also a

00:05:49.560 little bit of risk of getting COVID so yeah there's no reason to watch uh bad entertainment that's why

00:05:56.140 um I'm not trying to do a commercial for YouTube but YouTube gets it totally right because YouTube

00:06:03.880 gets you you know short little bits that are often educational useful expand your awareness and don't hurt

00:06:11.640 you can watch YouTube for days and never see anything I mean if you want to yeah you'd have to look for it

00:06:20.400 you can find stuff that'll make you sad if you look for it but mostly YouTube's YouTube is about things that

00:06:26.540 make you smarter or make you happy why would anybody ever watch a movie again unless it's a comedy which

00:06:35.000 they don't make anymore yeah sure super a superhero one is really a comedy when I watch these superhero

00:06:42.400 movies which I do watch those I watch them for the dialogue in between the fight scenes because

00:06:49.000 sometimes it's really funny like when the Hulk was you know banging loci against the the ground that

00:06:55.600 was just funny so that's the closest Hollywood gets to humor now there's a story that 40 percent of

00:07:02.840 the Marines say they won't get vaccinated what do you think of that do you know it would have been a

00:07:09.000 good statistic to include with that story I'll bet it wasn't there I haven't read all of the reports of

00:07:15.680 it but I would like to know what exactly is the death rate for unusually healthy young people with perfect

00:07:23.460 diets and no zero obesity I'm thinking it's kind of low so isn't this exactly the group of people that

00:07:34.260 you wouldn't be surprised you know forget about what your opinion is whether they should or should not

00:07:39.540 do it but I wouldn't be surprised because here's what we did wrong with the Marines we meaning America

00:07:47.620 right collectively I've never gone through any basic training or Marine training or firearms training

00:07:57.380 in the military or anything like that but I have to make an assumption does it is it fair to assume

00:08:02.900 that teaching somebody to be a Marine includes a good dose of risk management training in other words

00:08:11.200 learning that this situation is more dangerous than this one if even if it's not obvious on the surface

00:08:17.180 right in order to win a war it's all risk management decisions plus violence that's sort of all it is

00:08:25.360 risk management resources I guess and violence so should we be surprised that the very people who have

00:08:34.900 the lowest risk and I think this is speculative but it seems reasonable trained in risk management 0.96

00:08:42.120 and they've also been trained to not be afraid of bullshit right now I don't think COVID is bullshit I'm 0.97

00:08:52.520 saying that if you looked at their specific risks the big one is bullets and you know fragmentation 0.98

00:09:01.300 from bombs right that's like the big risk of going to the war that's like a real risk we've actually

00:09:08.840 trained this specific group of people plus you know whatever whatever they brought to the show to not be

00:09:15.040 afraid even in the scariest situation should you be surprised that they're also not afraid in

00:09:22.520 the least the least scary situation for them now of course COVID is a very scary situation for the world

00:09:31.700 for for them specifically it's kind of the last thing they need to worry about

00:09:37.460 let's say you're a marine and you get you get infected what what is the downside

00:09:43.900 one week off with pay right right I mean maybe you're not where you want to be but

00:09:53.340 it's sort of not the worst thing in the world a week off with pay all right so I'm not saying that

00:10:00.340 the Marines should or should not get vaccinated I'll leave that to them and and the medical 1.00

00:10:06.040 professionals and the military professionals there's certainly some precedent that you could

00:10:10.660 don't be surprised if it becomes mandatory I wouldn't be surprised but we'll wait on that

00:10:16.440 if I told you we're going to develop a system a new system for the world in addition to existing

00:10:24.360 systems and then the new system would have this feature that you could be punished because a

00:10:31.900 stranger holds a different opinion opinion right we're not talking about anybody breaking a law or

00:10:38.220 anything like that would you agree to a system that allowed you to be punished because a stranger

00:10:46.420 somebody you don't even know holds a different opinion than you do would you ever agree to that

00:10:51.620 that's that's our current system that's that's the system we we sort of evolved into without

00:10:59.060 thinking about it too much because here here's the setup

00:11:03.220 um if you have the opinion which no court has uh has upheld uh actually I can't even say this

00:11:14.060 because uh I think I get banned from YouTube even mentioning the topic but there's a topic

00:11:19.340 that had something to do with let's say electing and somebody you can you can guess what that might

00:11:27.800 be and there are some people who have different opinions about let's say the the perfection of the

00:11:36.920 system there's some people who think it was closer to perfect and other people who might have a

00:11:43.540 different opinion now since we haven't done a fully transparent look at everything there is to look

00:11:50.800 at both of those are opinions meaning that nobody could know they're right you couldn't know which one

00:12:00.380 is right so it's just an opinion but our current system is that if the people who manage the various

00:12:07.060 platforms have a different opinion than you do they can punish you by taking you off the platform

00:12:15.340 because in the modern world that is punishment it could punish you economically it could punish you

00:12:20.780 socially it's punishment our current system allows a stranger to punish you for having a different

00:12:30.640 opinion now it would be one thing if their opinion was confirmed by science you know it was like two

00:12:38.220 plus two is four it's not really an opinion in that case you could imagine there's some situation where

00:12:44.480 you know the misinformation is bad for society and they have to they have to do something about it

00:12:49.780 but if it's a valid just difference of opinion they can punish you for your opinion current that's the

00:12:57.140 current system well if i get punished for my opinions uh you can find me on the locals platform

00:13:03.340 subscription platform uh that's growing like crazy by the way i've got thousands of subscribers now

00:13:10.360 and i'm giving them micro lessons on improving their life with the promise that they will get

00:13:15.720 thousands of dollars of life value per month so far people are saying that they're getting that

00:13:22.760 so we'll see if we can keep it up all right um biden is uh is putting together a commission of uh so-called

00:13:30.960 independent scholars and whatnot to talk about court packing and other court reforms now what do you

00:13:38.960 think of that does this mean that joe biden is in favor of court packing and he's just putting a

00:13:45.060 commission together to cover himself so that when he does it you can say hey all these independent

00:13:51.200 people democrats and republicans they said it'd be okay do you think that's what's going to happen

00:13:57.040 i'm going to make a prediction and it goes like this i of course and you may have noticed have

00:14:05.700 sometimes been critical of president biden i've been critical of his let's say mental capabilities etc

00:14:13.700 but if you wanted to kill something with bureaucracy and make it look like the the shot was fired by

00:14:23.300 someone else you couldn't do much better than joe biden because it looks to me like joe biden is

00:14:32.160 creating the commission specifically to not do court packing so that this is my prediction

00:14:38.160 i believe most people on the right are saying oh no this is the first step to court packing

00:14:43.300 so he plans to do it and he's just giving some cover for himself totally possible all right so let

00:14:50.680 me say as clearly as possible i'm not ruling that out if you're just looking at the surface

00:14:55.560 kind of looks that way it doesn't it it looks sort of like he does plan to do it so i will

00:15:01.560 acknowledge that it looks exactly like he plans to do it i'll acknowledge that that could be

00:15:07.860 actually literally the reality but i'm going to predict the opposite i predict that this is just

00:15:17.140 cover so that when the scholars most of them or all of them say this is a bad idea and why

00:15:24.500 that uh that biden will have cover for not doing it now i think he might do some other court reforms

00:15:31.120 i don't even know what they are but there might you know it's always good to look at reforms

00:15:35.180 here's why i think the commission will not recommend court packing

00:15:39.760 it's kind of obvious isn't it because the next president would just court pack again and then when

00:15:48.580 it changes parties again they court pack again why wouldn't they and then where does it stop

00:15:55.560 how big is the court but more importantly it doesn't even matter how big the court is what matters is

00:16:00.840 that would uh eliminate independence or even the semblance of independence of the judiciary it would 0.85

00:16:08.360 effectively destroy the republic as it was originally conceived now now you could argue i'd like to destroy

00:16:16.180 the republic but if you're not arguing that you would like to destroy the public the republic

00:16:22.840 uh that's a bad idea because it would the the independence of the three branches of government

00:16:30.120 is the most essential part of the government and this would eliminate it it would make them basically

00:16:34.840 it would make the court a captive of the executive of office so there's no point in having a court

00:16:42.040 if the executive office pretty much not a hundred percent but pretty much determines what they're going to

00:16:48.440 decide before they even get a case right so i can't believe that you would even get democrats who are

00:16:56.040 actual scholars right real scholars i'm not sure you could get a democrat scholar to buy into this

00:17:03.560 now i was thinking the other day and uh i'm going to modify a suggestion i had a long time ago i was

00:17:09.080 thinking once wouldn't we be better off if you always made the court balanced so they actually have the

00:17:17.240 same amount of conservative leaning and right leading people and that that was my first thought

00:17:23.080 it's like well that would be perfect because then they wouldn't make any decisions unless you could get

00:17:28.280 at least one person to to kind of go over to the other side otherwise it would just be tie tie tie tie

00:17:35.480 but if it was something important and the court you know really thought they need to move on it

00:17:41.560 somebody could go over to the other side that's what i was thinking i feel now that was a terrible

00:17:47.560 idea here's why if it's even your incentive to start trading gets really high as in well we can't get

00:17:58.520 anything done on anything but you'd like to get this thing done you conservatives and we liberals would

00:18:05.160 like to get this other thing passed why don't we make a deal we just need one of you to come over on

00:18:11.800 this issue and then we'll have one of us go over on that other issue now i don't believe that the

00:18:17.480 justices have ever had a conversation like that i mean i would like to believe that these are serious

00:18:23.560 people who would never come close to any kind of horse trading but right now they don't have to

00:18:28.520 what happens if they had to it would be just like congress it would just be horse trading and then

00:18:35.480 what happens if you get that situation are they more susceptible to bribery if you take nine justices

00:18:42.200 and expand it to any larger number have you increased or decreased or kept the same the risk of bribery or

00:18:50.440 blackmail it's more right it's more because there are more people to bribe so there are all kinds of

00:18:57.800 things wrong with court packing and i think and i predict that joe biden is using the bureaucracy

00:19:04.840 of the system uh basically to kill it but he might do some court reforms that you might like who knows

00:19:13.000 um south korea reportedly and i don't believe any news that comes out of i'm sorry north korea i don't

00:19:19.240 believe any news that comes out of north korea but the news is that there was some uh guy who was a

00:19:26.920 official in education who had been tasked with fixing education in some way in north korea but given no

00:19:35.640 resources to do it and i guess he made the mistake of complaining that he wasn't getting enough resources

00:19:41.400 to do his job and the way uh kim jong-un decided to fix this was by executing him which is not funny

00:19:54.680 just the fact that i laughed uh that's just because i'm a terrible person it's not because it's funny

00:20:00.680 let's just get that clear it's not funny i'm a terrible person

00:20:06.760 um

00:20:09.000 so

00:20:11.000 this is what the guy said uh before they killed him

00:20:15.160 allegedly the chairman reportedly said i don't understand why the authorities would choose to

00:20:20.440 implement the act create this commission and call busy professors away from their university jobs

00:20:26.200 if they were not going to give the commission any resources park said even if we make suggestions

00:20:32.600 they just tell us to keep our mouths shut so let's go through the motions of gathering and then go home

00:20:37.560 he reportedly told his commission members

00:20:41.480 now doesn't that sound like every employee of a big company

00:20:46.440 you gave me this assignment but you didn't give me enough resources

00:20:50.760 and then the pointy-haired boss just executes him so this is a case of the simulation and code reuse

00:20:58.680 kim jong-un has just become the pointy head boss pointy-haired boss

00:21:04.440 have you seen a picture of kim jong-un he is getting closer and closer to a little pointy hair thing

00:21:11.880 sort of like flatter in the middle a little bit a little bit pointy-haired

00:21:15.800 code reuse simulation all right let's uh talk about the big news of the day the uh floyd trial

00:21:24.920 and before i give you my uh my legal analysis here's the thing you need to know and hear this clearly

00:21:35.240 number one you should never get medical advice from a cartoonist number two don't take your

00:21:41.640 financial advice from cartoonists number three don't take legal advice from cartoonists all

00:21:50.200 right we're going to do this just for fun most of us are not lawyers although weirdly i have a very

00:21:55.480 large percentage of lawyers who watch this based on based on the messages i get um so you people who

00:22:02.760 are really lawyers can you um please keep me honest i'll be watching the comments as i make my

00:22:10.440 ignorant and ill-informed analysis all right are we all on the same page that what will follow

00:22:16.200 will be ignorant and uninformed but fun but fun right so i think one of the things i would like to 0.95

00:22:23.320 do is do my analysis um from a uh citizen perspective not a lawyer's perspective because 0.54

00:22:32.680 there really are two two things happening there's the the lawyers doing lawyer things and they understand

00:22:38.600 that world and they know what they're doing and that will create some kind of result but then

00:22:43.000 there's this other thing which is unfortunately bigger and more important which is how the public

00:22:47.800 is viewing it the public are for the most part not lawyers just like us most of us right so i'm

00:22:54.840 going to be talking in a way that i don't think is too far off from what this big batch of non-lawyers

00:23:01.240 will be thinking and feeling in other words very approximate and inaccurate and not really

00:23:08.040 understanding the law so i'm in that group so let's talk about that um in my opinion after watching both

00:23:18.840 the prosecution and the defense do their job yesterday uh i would say that they that the cause of

00:23:25.800 death is established that the cause of death is established now in my opinion so this is my

00:23:32.920 opinion as just a person watching it like a non-lawyer and in my opinion homicide has been established

00:23:41.000 by both the prosecution and the defense so right now the defense witness i believe has you know they

00:23:51.560 and i get the names confused of you know who's the which doctor is is saying what but um i believe

00:23:59.400 that even the defense has said that it was the police action that was the the cause and that means

00:24:08.200 homicide right so here's here's the first part i want to assert that homicide that question is now

00:24:18.680 answered and i believe that even the the jury will say to themselves okay homicide has now been proven

00:24:26.360 and what i mean by that is that the evidence for a drug overdose i think has been eliminated

00:24:33.800 because the there's nobody who testified he had pills in the stomach or that he had immediately

00:24:39.800 ingested it right before you know we had all heard that right uh hadn't we all heard that it looked

00:24:45.640 like he had taken some pills during the arrest or something but there weren't there there was no

00:24:51.320 indication that it was in his stomach so we don't have evidence that he did anything that is likely in any

00:24:59.320 realistic way to have coincidentally caused him to die from drugs at coincidentally the time the police

00:25:07.240 were holding him down right now i'm going to talk about drugs being part of the cause

00:25:12.120 you know they're part of the story for sure in my opinion um but here's what you need to know about

00:25:19.880 homicide it's not a crime did you know that how many in the comments tell me how many of you knew

00:25:31.400 that homicide is not a crime

00:25:34.440 but homicide has been demonstrated to be true it's just not a crime and he hasn't been charged with

00:25:44.760 homicide do you know why he hasn't been charged with homicide because it's not a crime right yeah

00:25:53.480 watch the comments some people are saying what the yeah that's what you should be saying i'm trying to

00:25:59.160 trigger you into saying what are you talking about how could homicide not be a crime it's not look it up

00:26:07.880 homicide simply means that a human killed somebody and killed is somewhat strictly defined you know or

00:26:17.240 let's say by precedent to mean that a human did the last thing that was like push them over the edge

00:26:25.560 so it could be that the human shot them or it could be that the human did some other kind of action that

00:26:31.240 was the the the final variable now this is really important if a human was the final variable

00:26:42.440 in the death that's homicide and i think that both the i think all of the medical people have said

00:26:49.480 that if you took away the police action um it's unlikely he would have died because what are the

00:26:56.520 odds that he somehow had an overdose without taking drugs recently like you don't really

00:27:04.360 my understanding is overdoses happen pretty quickly after you take the wrong amount of drugs

00:27:08.920 so it would be weird if he had taken the drugs hours before and then just by coincidence he happened

00:27:15.080 to have an overdose death right when the police were sitting on him i mean what are the odds so yes the

00:27:21.240 police the police action resulted in his death that's homicide all right so are we all on the same page

00:27:29.320 the homicide at least i think from the jury's perspective has been completely proven because there's

00:27:35.880 there is no medical person who says anything different there's no medical person who is saying

00:27:42.440 the cause was an overdose or the cause was his health nobody's saying that so it is homicide right again

00:27:51.480 i'm speaking as a non-lawyer just like a person just a person it's homicide but that is not illegal per

00:27:58.920 se because there were different reasons that you could be not guilty of any crime one would be self-defense

00:28:06.360 if you kill somebody in self-defense it's homicide it just doesn't happen to be illegal and i think that

00:28:14.760 shaven has one other opportunity to do homicide without being illegal and it goes like this

00:28:22.280 a reasonable person would not know that what he was doing was a a mortal danger

00:28:29.800 so if shaven chauvin whatever and his lawyers can demonstrate that a reasonable person wouldn't have

00:28:37.880 known this could kill somebody no crime is committed there has to be something in the officer's head

00:28:46.280 that gets to either intention and by the way he's not even being charged with intentionally killing

00:28:53.240 him did you know that the charge does not include any thought that he did it intentionally it's just

00:29:00.280 not even in the charges that would i think that'd be first degree right um the charge is that a reasonable

00:29:07.560 person should have known that his actions would put at least at least a risk of death so that's what

00:29:15.400 the prosecution has to show let me give you a little more detail on this here in psychology today i know

00:29:25.160 it's not a legal document but there was a writer uh barrett brogard who did a real good job of just sort

00:29:32.600 of laying out you know what the charges are so here are the charges uh he's charged with second degree

00:29:39.880 unintentional murder third degree murder and second degree manslaughter now here's a little bit more

00:29:49.960 on that now first of all is this confusing this is really confusing stuff how many people in the jury

00:29:59.000 are going to be capable of really sorting through this amount of nuance it's kind of hard you know we're

00:30:05.000 asking ordinary people to do a pretty tough task here but i think they'll take it very seriously and

00:30:11.240 and and i have at least some optimism that they'll they'll get it right um so here's what we need to

00:30:18.440 know there's nothing about intentional in the charges uh but proving second degree unintentional murder

00:30:27.240 this is what it would require showing that the defendant officer chauvin chauvin chauvin

00:30:34.040 caused the victim's death that part we know from the medical examiners or at least that's the testimony

00:30:40.040 and had specific intent to hold on inflict bodily harm short of death so was the officer trying to harm

00:30:50.280 floyd um but maybe he didn't think that would kill him but he was trying to cause him a lot of harm

00:30:56.920 and if that went too far he would be guilty of murder is that what happened well how do you treat

00:31:04.840 um a police officer who does intentional harm in the in the uh in the act of subduing somebody

00:31:14.440 don't you if you tase somebody and they die with a taser are you guilty of murder

00:31:20.200 because we know that a taser can kill people do you know what kind of people can be killed by a taser

00:31:30.040 people with weak hearts

00:31:31.720 such as i'll just pick one example of a person with a weak heart george floyd if george floyd had

00:31:40.600 been tased there was a pretty high likelihood he would have died from being tased is tasing an ordinary 0.94

00:31:50.360 thing that police do well i i hate to use the word ordinary but we see it a lot if you're a citizen

00:31:57.880 you've seen lots of footage of police tasing people and there is evidence that if you had a weak heart

00:32:04.760 and you got tased you could die there's there's some evidence a number of people have died that way

00:32:10.520 now i don't believe that this situation was taser worthy meaning that um i don't think he would

00:32:18.040 have appropriately used the taser in that case because that might have been a little bit more

00:32:22.280 i don't know that for sure but it seemed like it wasn't really called for the the police had enough

00:32:27.320 human power and floyd was sort of only half resisting it didn't look like a taser situation to me

00:32:34.440 but suppose you knew that within police procedure there's this thing called the taser

00:32:41.080 and it would have killed him or could have you know there's more risk with him

00:32:45.320 that sort of gives you a context in your head as just a citizen that police do things that can kill

00:32:53.560 people without intending to kill them that it's actually a normal fairly routine the police are

00:33:01.160 putting um let's say force on people in a variety of ways and each of those variety of ways could

00:33:08.360 actually kill somebody so i don't believe that in the context of police work holding somebody down with

00:33:15.000 the intent that it would hurt if they tried to get up it didn't look like trying to hurt him so much

00:33:21.240 as obviously trying to contain him or since we're talking about reasonable doubt a reasonable person

00:33:29.160 could say i don't know i can't read his mind i don't know if his intention to hurt him it looked like

00:33:35.400 it was in his intention just to keep him subdued so i think this part about specific intent to inflict

00:33:43.320 bodily harm short of death is not demonstrated by any evidence is it does anybody have any evidence

00:33:51.560 from anybody that would suggest we know the officer's internal mental thoughts i don't think so so it

00:33:57.640 looks like the prosecution hasn't made that case so that one is a second degree unintentional murder

00:34:04.360 so here's another one third degree murder it requires showing that the accused officer shaven

00:34:10.600 caused the victim's death and their acts were eminently dangerous and were performed with a depraved mind

00:34:20.760 now a depraved mind means that you have you're just sort of an evil person you're an evil person and you did

00:34:28.520 things that you knew put somebody in mortal danger but you did it anyway because you're just sort of a 0.99

00:34:34.920 bastard right what evidence has been presented that would show that uh chauvin has a depraved mind 0.97

00:34:46.200 none right i don't believe there's any evidence presented to that is there has anybody seen any evidence even

00:34:53.320 proposed that goes in that direction i haven't seen any um and that their acts were eminently

00:35:00.760 dangerous now this so it's even two parts because there's the word and here so i'd have to be a lawyer

00:35:07.160 to know that if you could really separate these ands but let's take it the way this writer wrote it and

00:35:13.240 say that it has to be both eminently dangerous and done with this depraved mind thing there's no evidence

00:35:20.520 of a depraved mind no motivation in in evidence etc um so eminently dangerous let's just look at that

00:35:31.000 and see what evidence we have for that now remember the standard is reasonable doubt

00:35:37.080 the standard is not we know what happened the standard is is there a reasonable doubt about the

00:35:43.560 prosecution story so let's see if there is what would uh oh this is interesting before i do that so

00:35:55.480 without anybody really making note of it the prosecution and the defense have agreed

00:36:03.800 that the video has been debunked

00:36:05.720 do you believe that is my statement true that as of yesterday both the prosecution

00:36:15.960 and the defense are on the same page on this following fact that the video has been debunked

00:36:24.760 here's what i mean up until really about yesterday a hundred percent of the world believed that his knee

00:36:32.040 was on uh george floyd's neck for nine minutes pretty much that's all anybody's talking about

00:36:40.200 his knee was on his neck for nine minutes and now both the prosecution and the defense based on witnesses

00:36:48.360 agree that wasn't the case it looked like it but it wasn't because the video shows that his his

00:36:56.440 knee was in different places and i'm saying that the prosecution agrees because they changed the way

00:37:00.840 they talked about it now they're talking about the knee and the neck area on the on the back and the neck

00:37:06.920 area they started moving it off the you know off of the artery stuff and now it's just sort of in that

00:37:12.520 area and we don't know how much pressure was on it etc so this is um although the um the fact that his knee was

00:37:24.600 not on a neck did not change the potential liability for the officer because we have medical testimony now

00:37:33.320 that wherever that knee was whether it was sort of backish or neckish both of them could have killed

00:37:40.360 him or would have been the cause of death so it's no defense apparently to say no it wasn't exactly on

00:37:47.400 the neck the whole time because the position of him with the handcuffs on on the ground with a guy on his

00:37:53.880 back uh and a bad heart and had some drugs in him he put all that together and he could have and one of

00:38:01.640 the medical people said he was killed cause of death by the knee on the neckish backish area but here's the

00:38:10.040 point it debunks the video it doesn't it doesn't defend shaven because the the new theory of death

00:38:18.680 death about the specifics of it still would make him guilty of something if he did it with this

00:38:24.200 depraved whatever and some kind of uh knowledge that it would be bad but it's important that the

00:38:32.680 defense change their entire theory in the middle of the the thing the entire world believed that the one 0.98

00:38:41.320 thing that we all believed to be true was that this damn knee was on george floyd's neck for nine 0.95

00:38:47.800 minutes and we just found out that wasn't true and even the defense is acknowledging it that's a big deal 0.96

00:38:56.760 here's why it showed that you can't tell what's happening on videos right that's the takeaway the

00:39:05.560 takeaway is we were all defense prosecution public a hundred percent of the people who saw the video

00:39:13.640 initially were all wrong about a really important point where exactly was that knee because if the

00:39:20.840 knee was on the neck the whole time suddenly that feels like you know a little bit about his intentions

00:39:26.840 right maybe you don't but it feels like you do doesn't it that feels like an intention

00:39:31.800 but if you see that he moved it around now you've got reasonable doubt but that reasonable doubt would

00:39:40.680 be removed perhaps if you thought that shaven knew that no matter where his knee was this positional

00:39:48.440 asphyxiation thing was potentially going to be fatal did he know that so um i think it's amazing that

00:39:58.680 the video has been debunked but it's still the evidence uh so here's how i would approach it if

00:40:04.760 i were the defense and again i'm not a lawyer so just assume that i don't even know what's going to

00:40:09.880 be allowable in court right it doesn't mean any of this could actually happen i'm just giving you my

00:40:15.560 human being defense not a lawyer defense i would start by saying that we live in a world in which

00:40:21.960 it is typical to see two movies on one screen and i would explain that that's a how many of you in the

00:40:31.320 jury are familiar with the laurel and yanny situation and you would see the people nervously giggle in the

00:40:39.080 jury because most of them are familiar with how easily they're fooled with the laurel and yanny and

00:40:45.080 then you say then i'd say and ladies and gentlemen of the jury you know that before you came in here

00:40:51.320 every one of us and i have to admit even the defense before we looked at the the video in detail we too

00:40:58.920 thought that knee was on his neck for nine minutes that was the movie we thought we were watching

00:41:05.560 but now that we've watched it from a number of angles and had experts testify we know that there was

00:41:10.920 another movie playing at the same time there was one that we all thought we saw and there's one that's

00:41:17.080 different so different in fact that the prosecution has changed the cause of death still they say it's my

00:41:23.320 client but a completely different mechanism of death that we're just learning now it was the video that

00:41:30.200 got us here and we've all just agreed that we didn't see it right video is bad evidence laurel and

00:41:38.360 yanny taught you that um you've probably seen a number of videos uh you know in your own experience

00:41:44.280 i don't have to mention which ones but in your own experience have you had let's say in the last year or

00:41:49.720 two have you seen anything that looked real on video and later you found out it wasn't besides this case

00:41:56.680 and most people would be yeah i can think of an example and by the way it's good hypnosis to let

00:42:02.840 them come up with their own example if you give them an example they'll fight with it and say

00:42:08.120 i'm not sure that's an example if you say have you ever seen an example where people were fooled

00:42:13.640 by video and maybe you were people will come up with their own example that they don't fight with

00:42:19.880 so that's why you you let them fill in the blank you don't you don't fill it in for them

00:42:27.000 so once i have established that the prosecution had changed their entire argument from the neck thing

00:42:33.880 to the positional thing i would say look how easily we can be fooled just to put some doubt in their

00:42:39.400 heads right and then i would say if we're trying to figure out whether derek shaven knew that he was

00:42:47.080 putting his client at risk here are the questions we must ask number one why did all the other police

00:42:54.440 officers who were in the scene not intervene well there's a number of possibilities and we don't

00:43:02.680 have it in evidence right one possibility is they were just um maybe they were timid they didn't want

00:43:10.040 to you know uh interfere with a veteran officer um one is there they were all racists every one of them

00:43:18.200 was a racist and they were just happy to see uh floyd killed i don't think that's the case but i'm just

00:43:25.320 saying all the things that are possible here's another thing that's possible did you notice that all the

00:43:31.080 police did nothing but yet all of the non-police the citizens were quite sure that he was being killed

00:43:40.120 but none of the police at least acted as if they thought that was a serious risk why would that be 0.98

00:43:49.880 well i'll give you a few possibilities one you're a bum bro um 0.99

00:43:59.720 i'll just get rid of you 1.00

00:44:00.680 if the best you could do is yell at me in all caps 0.99

00:44:08.520 um

00:44:10.760 and by the way you haven't heard my conclusion yet so i'm just i'm just saying what the defense could be

00:44:15.640 uh don't assume this is my opinion all right i'm just telling you what the defense could be all right

00:44:23.560 um so why did all the cops stand down and the non-cops thought it looked like murder here's one

00:44:29.880 possibility remember we're only going for reasonable doubt so you don't have to agree that this is the

00:44:36.120 reason you just have to agree it's one of the possible reasons and we don't know that's all i'm

00:44:42.120 going for one of the possible reasons is police are experienced and they're trained citizens are not

00:44:51.080 experienced in police stops and they're not trained the police probably are aware of the guy who

00:44:59.320 is the police trainer who testified and said that in his opinion chauvin used the least amount of

00:45:06.040 force that was the you know to get the job done and that it was not a deadly situation now is he right

00:45:16.040 or is he wrong the police trainer it doesn't matter here's why the police trainer is

00:45:25.080 a reasonable person nobody said he's crazy he's a reasonable person if you would put the police

00:45:33.720 trainer in chauvin's situation he was saying he would have acted about the same and he trains it

00:45:42.120 he not only trained chauvin but he probably directly or indirectly was involved with the training

00:45:47.320 for all of the other officers could it be that the reason people who are trained didn't get into it is

00:45:54.440 because the training told them this was safe but if you were a citizen you had not been trained by that

00:46:01.000 you've never heard this training remember they usually say they can't breathe they say they're in pain

00:46:08.120 the handcuffs are hurting their wrists they all say it it doesn't mean it's true but the public's

00:46:16.600 never had that training never had that experience so i would say that the the activity of the other

00:46:22.600 police officers the fact that not one of them would get involved suggests that police are watching a

00:46:30.280 different movie the movie they were seeing is just somebody taken down according to policy

00:46:37.880 the mood and it would be safe according to their movie the way they were trained the citizens were

00:46:43.320 seeing somebody with uh with a neck with a knee on their neck for nine minutes as the lights were going

00:46:49.320 out and in his life they were watching a different movie so to imagine that these people viewed the same

00:46:57.400 incident is just not true they weren't viewing the same incident it was the same facts but the way they

00:47:04.600 they filtered it had to be different one was filtered through training and experience one was filtered

00:47:09.960 through no training and experience

00:47:14.280 so there's some reasonable doubt right there now what about the way shaven himself acted do you think

00:47:22.360 that if he believed that he was putting floyd in mortal danger that he would have continued to do it in

00:47:28.680 front of lots of witnesses in front of other police cameras going could shaven have reasonably believed

00:47:38.360 that putting himself just the officer himself in a situation where witnesses would watch him end the life

00:47:46.200 of a black man who's on the ground do you think that shaven thought that there would be no consequences 0.95

00:47:54.440 if something bad happened to floyd in that situation not reasonably no reasonable person would think that he

00:48:02.040 would be you know just go about his day if floyd died is there any evidence that shaven is a sociopath

00:48:10.920 i don't believe so i don't believe there's any evidence that he's some kind of weird sociopath

00:48:17.640 how would you feel if you if you held somebody down and they died how would you feel it would ruin your

00:48:27.480 frickin life if you killed somebody accidentally you would never get over that even if you're a cop 0.61

00:48:35.080 right cops are a little tougher right they've seen more things they've got training but even a cop it's 0.96

00:48:40.760 going to ruin his frickin life if he accidentally kills a guy because he had his knee on him for nine

00:48:46.280 minutes right so is it reasonable to imagine that even shaven shaven knew that he was putting this guy in 0.90

00:48:54.680 that much danger when his trainer would have done the same thing the police around him apparently either

00:49:02.760 didn't intervene or would have done the same thing now you could ask yourself should he have known

00:49:11.640 and that would be an interesting question but i don't think it would be legally

00:49:17.560 useful because all you have to demonstrate is that a reasonable person in that same situation

00:49:23.960 would have acted the same way a reasonable person and we have that proof because the trainer acted the

00:49:31.000 same way and all of the other police officers acted the same way everybody who had similar training

00:49:38.200 everybody acted the same way and everybody who didn't have that training acted a different way

00:49:45.240 two movies on one screen with a perfect explanation of why people are seeing the movie differently

00:49:51.160 all right um there's also the issue that the crowd was threatening and apparently police procedure is that

00:50:01.080 you take care of the threat to the officers first and then you treat anybody who might be having medical

00:50:07.240 problems you could argue that it shouldn't be that way but it is that way and that's exculpatory too

00:50:14.840 but here's the interesting thing oh so here are two kinds of demonstrations that the um the the defense

00:50:23.160 could do now i don't know if these would be allowed right so there's a question of what the judge allows

00:50:28.680 but imagine the defense attorney takes in a bathroom scale puts it on the floor during closing arguments

00:50:35.640 gets down on two knees one knee on the bathroom scale and one knee on the floor what do you think the scale

00:50:42.280 would register as weight assuming that you're you're trying to not put your full weight on the the the

00:50:49.720 down knee what what would be the weight it would well have you tried it i tried it this morning

00:50:57.080 i i put down it looks like somebody tried it because they've already because they have a number there so

00:51:02.600 with me it was around 50 pounds all right so i my weight is uh probably 158 something like that

00:51:12.200 shaven was 140 so not too far out of the the range and my mine was about 50 pounds okay so one demonstration

00:51:22.280 is just having somebody get down and about the same size as shaven or have shaven himself i guess you

00:51:28.680 could have him do it himself just get down on the on the thing and show that it looks like about 50

00:51:33.640 pounds at minimum now does that mean that shaven was giving him only 50 pounds of pressure or could he

00:51:42.280 have been leaning right into it it'd be hard to tell in the video but it gives a reasonable doubt

00:51:49.080 because now you're not sure was he putting you know 140 pounds on it or is he putting 50 pounds on it

00:51:55.640 because george floyd was a big guy right let me ask you this well actually let's take the next example

00:52:03.880 first the other thing and i don't think this would necessarily be allowed by the judge but you can

00:52:09.000 imagine the defense attorney giving his closing arguments on handcuffed and on his uh stomach while

00:52:17.640 three people were sitting on him and he just you know talks through it you know so so he could

00:52:23.240 demonstrate it that way but let me tell you the most persuasive way to do a demonstration one of the

00:52:30.440 things that the that the video lies about is the sizes of the people involved remember you know a

00:52:38.600 picture doesn't lie yes it does pictures lie better than than anything there's nothing that lies better

00:52:44.760 than a picture pictures are the best way to lie um but one of the things that the video doesn't give you

00:52:51.720 when you're seeing george floyd's head basically and then you're seeing shaven you can't tell how big

00:52:58.120 either of them are floyd was like six uh six four and you know probably 200 something and he was big

00:53:06.760 strapping youngish guy shaven was 140 pounds and five eight i think five eight so if you did your

00:53:16.600 demonstration in the courtroom and you were trying to show the jury what they didn't necessarily see

00:53:22.520 on video somebody says six six and 240 pounds um i could say that it's somewhere in that range um

00:53:34.680 so here's how you do the demonstration in the court you would get a very large wait for it white man

00:53:43.000 to play george floyd got to be white but about the same size about the same age big healthy looking

00:53:53.000 muscular youngish big white guy then you get three black guys who are about 140 pounds

00:54:02.440 to play the role of the police officers and then you could see that there was a big difference between

00:54:08.680 the people on top and the person that they were subduing because imagine um imagine the

00:54:17.160 the jury is seeing the actual dimensions of the people which you can't tell on the video it doesn't

00:54:22.680 show you right somebody thinks i'm a right-wing shill

00:54:30.280 um if anybody's new to this i'm left of bernie and i don't identify with too many things that you 1.00

00:54:39.240 would call right wing uh so do your homework don't be a fucking bitch learn something about me before you 1.00

00:54:49.000 before you criticize okay just just don't be a bitch about it just try to up your game a little bit 1.00

00:54:55.320 criticism is fine you're welcome to criticize but just get a little bit of information before you do it 0.99

00:55:01.800 because if you're criticizing without even knowing who i am you're just being a bitch so don't be that okay 0.98

00:55:09.720 all right uh and it is fair and interesting to talk about the trial and how it will go this is not a political thing 0.89

00:55:17.320 it's legal thing and it's interesting it's also a prediction thing let you know where things are going all right

00:55:23.560 so if you did that demonstration i think people would see it and if you reversed the ethnicities

00:55:29.640 of the people involved it would really mess up the brains of the jury because then they would see with

00:55:35.960 their own eyes that race had influenced them you want the jury to know that the races of the people

00:55:44.120 involved biased them and the way to do it is give a demonstration where you reverse the races 0.99

00:55:49.720 and nobody would give a fuck if a if a four if a 140 pound black police officer put his knee for nine 0.99

00:56:00.520 minutes on a 240 pound strapping six foot six white guy on the ground nobody would give a fuck right 0.99

00:56:12.120 and and i'm not saying that has anything to do with racism it has to do with um there's a natural 0.96

00:56:20.120 there's a natural what would you call it revulsion toward the powerful beating up the less powerful

00:56:27.320 it's a natural revulsion and you you can even be a racist and you'd have the revulsion right because

00:56:34.920 when you see somebody in power doing something bad to somebody who you know you think is a group that has

00:56:41.240 no power that's way worse than if you reversed it and the person getting hurt is the powerful one in in

00:56:48.360 other situations right and reversing the ethnicities to do your demonstration you wouldn't have to say

00:56:54.840 any of that the people in the jury would get it they would say why did this seem so bad when the

00:57:01.640 races were the other way and the answer is it is worse when the races are the other way that's not

00:57:08.280 not it's not um it's not an illusion it is worse when when the powerful are squishing the less powerful

00:57:17.960 that's worse but that doesn't change the legal liability the fact that it feels worse and is

00:57:25.960 worse it is worse right i won't even say it feels worse it's just worse you know squashing the less

00:57:31.480 powerful is just the worst but it's not worse from a legal perspective it's no worse from the legal

00:57:40.840 perspective and this is the context so um

00:57:48.520 let's see

00:57:52.680 here's a question i have if you if it takes three things to kill somebody which one is the cause of

00:57:59.320 death so the defense's witness said that the death was caused by a a collection of three things

00:58:10.600 that he had a bad heart he was on drugs which can change your breathing and breathing was the issue

00:58:18.680 and the police officers put him in a position that restricted his breathing now legally that's homicide

00:58:27.720 as i said and legally it puts the last action as the cause the last action was the police

00:58:35.320 so technically legally the way definitions work the way the law works the cop killed him doesn't mean

00:58:42.680 it's illegal because he maybe didn't know it but the uh the important thing here is that your common

00:58:52.040 sense about this is a little different than how the law treats it and necessarily right that doesn't

00:58:57.400 mean anything's broken my common sense goes like this if it took all three of those things to kill him

00:59:06.200 they were all the cause i get that the last thing that happens always looks like the cause but that's an

00:59:14.040 illusion it required all three things or at least wait for it there's a reasonable doubt that he would have

00:59:23.320 died without the first two things is there anybody who testified that if he did anybody testify that it's

00:59:33.640 we could know he would have died short of having a heart problem and the drug problem you kind of don't know

00:59:41.400 if you took those other two things away the drugs that affects your breathing the heart that affects your

00:59:48.040 breathing and then he died because he couldn't breathe i don't know i feel like i get that one

00:59:56.360 has to be the cause it's just the last thing that happened but our common sense says three things killed

01:00:04.360 him because if you took away any of those one any one of the three he'd probably be alive right if the

01:00:10.760 police hadn't stopped him i think he'd be alive if he didn't have a heart problem don't know but there's a

01:00:16.920 good chance he'd be alive if he hadn't done drugs don't know if it made a difference for sure but

01:00:23.240 there's a good chance so we're only talking about reasonable doubt right that's pretty reasonable in

01:00:29.400 the doubt category i would say especially when we know that tasing can actually kill you if you have a

01:00:35.000 heart like george floyd's actually i shouldn't say that that would be a little bit too much medical

01:00:41.640 certainty but say somebody has a weak heart would be in trouble um

01:00:49.240 so let's see what else we got here all right that's enough for that so my my take on it is

01:00:55.400 that uh the news will be so far the news is reporting this the news is reporting that uh

01:01:03.560 homicide has largely been demonstrated what they don't tell you is what i just told you

01:01:08.920 that that doesn't mean it's a crime watch how illegitimate the press is when they uh

01:01:16.520 when they describe the homicide without telling you that's not illegal by itself they won't tell

01:01:23.080 you that you will be led to believe that proving it was homicide which i believe has been proven and

01:01:29.800 to my satisfaction anyway they're going to tell you that that's the same as murder by sort of just

01:01:36.600 talking about it the same way they won't say it directly they'll just conflate murder with homicide

01:01:43.320 until you can't tell the difference and you want to riot over it that's what that's where it's going

01:01:48.360 speaking of uh propaganda let me give you two sentences and you tell me which one of these is

01:01:54.680 propaganda and which one of these is just an accurate statement we'll take a hypothetical

01:02:01.880 hypothetically let's say there was a congress person who had been charged with something

01:02:08.360 and there were two ways to describe this thing they had been well not not charged with let's say

01:02:12.680 accused let's say there's a congressman who's merely been accused of something no trial he's been

01:02:18.520 accused of something and uh there are two ways to say it one way goes like this the congressman

01:02:27.160 congressman is accused of having sex with a minor here's the second way to say it and both of these

01:02:34.360 will be true the congressman has been accused of having sex with a 17 year old which one of those is 0.96

01:02:42.440 propaganda and which one of those is just the news which one did cnn say cnn always says sex with a minor 0.63

01:02:54.200 right and they're trying to trap you into saying wait a minute 17 is not so bad oh what did you say

01:03:07.080 pedophile it's a trap so uh somebody says the first one yeah so when you see propaganda like that

01:03:18.360 where the the first thing that you say is the thing people remember now i think i saw jake tapper 0.96

01:03:24.840 say he was accused of having sex with a minor and then clarified a 17 year old 0.76

01:03:32.760 wouldn't it be better to say he was accused of having sex with a 17 year old who's technically a minor

01:03:40.840 do those sound the same to you because one of them is trying to get a result and the other one is

01:03:48.040 describing what happened i would say and by the way if you have two ways to describe something and

01:03:55.160 it's only an allegation you do have a social responsibility to use the description that doesn't

01:04:02.200 make him look guilty because there's not even a there's not even a charge much less a court case we

01:04:09.640 don't even have a victim and they're already talking about him like he's guilty without a

01:04:14.760 victim meaning we don't we don't know there's a real person yet if there ever is all right

01:04:23.960 nate silver was hilarious and a tweet you should be following nate silver uh he does a better job of

01:04:31.000 sticking with the uh the data and out of the politics than most people yeah and here's what he

01:04:37.560 he tweeted and this i laughed for like a long time over this he goes uh 54 of people who have

01:04:44.200 already been vaccinated are still very or somewhat worried about catching covet and but only 29 of

01:04:52.920 people who refuse to get vaccinated are very or somewhat worried about catching covet and then here's

01:04:58.760 his punchline great job everyone that's like a perfect punchline great job everyone it's so droll

01:05:11.000 basically it doesn't matter what you do you're going to be unhappy i guess

01:05:17.400 uh one way or another you'll be unhappy all right uh there's a video that i think youtube

01:05:24.520 took down but i i saw it i don't know i'm not sure how it took down it is since i saw it but uh

01:05:32.440 there's this dr cole who's made a couple of claims and i want to run them by you because i don't know

01:05:37.560 that they're true and he said the following so fact checking you on this he said all super spreader

01:05:43.400 events have been indoors can somebody fact check that first of all i'm not sure we know where all the

01:05:50.360 uh super spreader events have been because i'm not sure you'd know there was a super spreader event

01:05:56.760 you just know a lot of people are infected um but is that true that uh all super spreader events have

01:06:04.920 been indoors because that would be a pretty big deal yeah all known so the problem is whether that's

01:06:11.960 just the ones that are known here's the other uh thing he said which i have much lower opinion of

01:06:19.160 its credibility he he said there's no such thing as flu and cold season there's only low vitamin d

01:06:25.320 season in other words he's saying that in some seasons your vitamin d is low and that's why you

01:06:31.880 catch things that you wouldn't normally catch otherwise do you buy that here's here's the problem

01:06:38.840 with the vitamin d thing and you might remember that you know a year ago i was making all kinds of

01:06:44.360 noise about the fact that it looked like vitamin d was the the big correlation here it just seemed to

01:06:50.120 be that where there was lots of vitamin d people had better results and i didn't know that that was

01:06:57.080 uh anything but a coincidence but it was worth looking at and i still think that you have to be careful

01:07:03.720 about that correlation because people who are old and sick have low vitamin d it could be just another

01:07:11.160 way to know you're old and sick it doesn't have to necessarily um yeah yeah it doesn't necessarily

01:07:20.680 have to be the the vitamin d works it could just be a correlation that sick people don't have much

01:07:25.960 vitamin d but that said i'm still going to keep my vitamin d up because it's good for you in general

01:07:32.920 here's my next speculative question we've all been told that herd immunity

01:07:38.120 is when you get to you know 70 80 percent or whatever i think this virus they're thinking

01:07:44.120 it's higher because it's so spready but does the herd immunity number in that 70 range does

01:07:54.120 that make sense when your virus attacks certain parts of the population and leaves others largely

01:08:00.920 unhurt and when only the only people who are super spreaders are the people who are pretty sick and

01:08:08.840 obese and they're the ones who are getting vaccinated first it seems to me that the idea of herd immunity

01:08:17.400 that made sense for all other things doesn't make sense in this case and what i'm saying is that and

01:08:24.280 this is just speculation right so don't take this as anything you should believe more of a question

01:08:30.520 i guess even question if you were to uh let's say hypothetically you vaccinated everybody over 70

01:08:39.800 and everybody over 50 who's obese and i think we could do that right that or at least you get almost

01:08:48.280 all of them everybody else could still get the virus and it could rage through the rest of the community

01:08:56.040 but there wouldn't be any super spreaders right how fast does this virus spread if you could snap

01:09:05.400 your fingers and the only kind of spread was the one-to-one type and that's it and the the person's

01:09:12.040 getting it never got sick because let's say they're they're young or whatever they are um

01:09:21.080 i don't know that 70 is necessary i think it's more like getting all the super spreaders and then

01:09:27.880 maybe it takes care of itself i don't know just a question i have a second question

01:09:32.680 is there anything like micro immunity so we've heard that the the amount of the viral load you get

01:09:43.240 has a lot to do with how sick you get you know that plus your natural health so what would happen to a

01:09:50.360 perfectly healthy person who is exposed to just a little bit of virus could they beat the virus without

01:09:59.880 getting symptoms and become sort of micro immune

01:10:07.160 and you get to herd immunity just because they were exposed but maybe they don't even test could

01:10:13.080 could you have uh could you test negative for covid but have antibodies is that a thing

01:10:21.400 i don't know and if you can't get covid outdoors and we don't think you get it on airplanes enough to

01:10:32.360 stop flights where the hell are you getting it you know i've i have this uh this theory that i've never

01:10:40.040 said before let's say hypothesis that it's a sexually transmitted problem i'm just going to put that out

01:10:47.560 there i just have a theory that it might be sexually transmitted

01:10:54.840 i'm only kidding about that but uh but when you see the kids are not having bad problems and

01:11:02.200 the seniors are uh there's actually a there is rampant sex in old folks homes and nursing homes a lot 0.99

01:11:09.160 a lot of people don't know that but there is pretty rampant unprotected sex among seniors

01:11:17.720 all right that's all i got to say for today and i'll talk to you tomorrow
