Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1444 Scott Adams： Biden Babble, Karma Attacks China, and Lots More Provocation

00:00:00.440 Good morning, everybody.

00:00:02.620 It's time.

00:00:04.000 It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:06.480 Yeah, yeah, you made it to the right place.

00:00:08.440 You made it on time.

00:00:09.560 Or if you're watching this on replay,

00:00:12.620 it's still the right time.

00:00:14.700 There's never a wrong time for Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:17.300 It's the best part of your day, by far.

00:00:20.080 And all you need to make it even a little bit better

00:00:23.120 is you need a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:00:25.920 a tank or a chelsea, a canteen jug or a flask,

00:00:28.080 a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:32.380 I like coffee.

00:00:34.920 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:00:38.660 The dopamine here of the day, the thing that makes everything better,

00:00:40.860 it's called the simultaneous sip,

00:00:42.380 and it's famous all around the world.

00:00:45.040 Watch it happen right now.

00:00:46.240 And yes, this is live.

00:00:49.580 Unless you're watching it later.

00:00:52.140 Go.

00:00:56.320 Ah, yes.

00:00:57.780 So good.

00:01:00.520 So good.

00:01:01.300 Don't feel bad about a little bit of slurping.

00:01:04.200 Now, I don't know if you've noticed this,

00:01:06.860 but the way I try to run my live streams

00:01:09.300 is not so much like a show,

00:01:13.880 you know, where I'm presenting

00:01:15.200 and you're just listening.

00:01:17.460 I try to do this more like

00:01:19.480 I'm your virtual friend

00:01:21.760 and we're just having a conversation over coffee.

00:01:25.280 But for some reason, you can't get a word in edgewise.

00:01:29.440 So you under-talking me is sort of in the comments.

00:01:33.600 But here's the answer to why,

00:01:35.500 and I feel like I need to answer this

00:01:37.300 because a lot of people have suggested

00:01:38.900 that I should use a software like OBS,

00:01:43.220 and I think there are several others,

00:01:45.640 that will take any live stream

00:01:47.280 and send it simultaneously to different platforms.

00:01:50.220 Okay.

00:01:57.440 A little thumbs up to that message

00:01:59.120 that just came in there.

00:02:00.100 So, if you've noticed,

00:02:05.160 the way I run this is

00:02:06.840 that I try to make it as personal as possible.

00:02:10.660 You get me literally before I've shaved.

00:02:13.660 You know, I haven't even changed my clothes.

00:02:17.460 I haven't showered.

00:02:18.520 I'm wearing my pajamas.

00:02:20.020 You see me in the morning,

00:02:22.120 you almost always see me wearing what I woke up in.

00:02:25.380 Now, I'm borrowing this technique

00:02:28.840 from the makeup videos on YouTube.

00:02:33.200 Have you ever watched any of the makeup stars

00:02:35.520 where they literally just sit in front of a camera,

00:02:39.260 and as they put their makeup on,

00:02:41.180 sometimes they'll be giving you a lesson about the makeup,

00:02:43.980 but they'll be just talking about their life?

00:02:47.060 And you say to yourself,

00:02:49.100 well, I don't think I want to watch a makeup show.

00:02:51.300 But you would be surprised

00:02:53.140 how well they execute their business model.

00:02:57.660 And it just feels like

00:02:59.040 you're having a conversation with a person.

00:03:00.960 So, if you feel lonely or something,

00:03:03.160 you just put it on,

00:03:04.200 and it's like having a friend

00:03:05.120 who's just chatting with you live.

00:03:07.440 So,

00:03:08.960 so,

00:03:14.100 I'm your virtual friend,

00:03:17.480 and you should think of me that way.

00:03:20.060 So,

00:03:20.220 the reason I don't use those softwares

00:03:22.220 that broadcast to multiple platforms

00:03:24.520 is that they introduce a delay.

00:03:28.340 So,

00:03:28.940 I see a delay in my own picture

00:03:31.140 as I'm looking at myself

00:03:32.420 because I see myself the same way you see me.

00:03:35.000 But also,

00:03:35.940 there's a little delay in the comments,

00:03:38.680 which I find off-putting.

00:03:40.620 It doesn't connect me with the audience as much.

00:03:42.540 So,

00:03:43.220 when I'm doing this,

00:03:44.000 I have the weirdest

00:03:44.820 kind of relationship with this.

00:03:48.400 If I were doing this recorded,

00:03:50.840 I would be talking to a machine,

00:03:54.000 and I'd be talking,

00:03:55.540 and here's my presentation,

00:03:57.300 blah, blah, blah.

00:03:58.080 And the people who are locals

00:03:59.660 who watch me do the micro lessons

00:04:01.480 where I do record those,

00:04:03.540 I have a presentation style,

00:04:06.060 which I don't think is nearly as interesting

00:04:08.200 as more of a,

00:04:10.080 you know,

00:04:11.080 more of a,

00:04:13.180 let's say,

00:04:13.740 unfocused personal style.

00:04:16.360 And I think they both have a place,

00:04:18.000 but that's why I don't use

00:04:19.380 those kinds of software.

00:04:20.780 People have been asking me that.

00:04:23.200 All right,

00:04:23.760 let's start with some fake news.

00:04:27.600 Have you heard of Mediaite?

00:04:30.940 So,

00:04:31.480 some people actually

00:04:32.640 sat around

00:04:33.680 someday

00:04:34.960 in the past,

00:04:36.340 and they came up

00:04:37.500 with this idea

00:04:38.200 for a publication,

00:04:40.300 and when they came up

00:04:41.180 with a name for it,

00:04:42.760 somebody must have suggested

00:04:44.240 the name

00:04:44.840 Mediaite.

00:04:48.300 And everybody else said,

00:04:49.660 how do you spell that?

00:04:50.600 And they're like,

00:04:51.100 M-E-D-I-A-I-T-E. 0.96

00:04:55.300 And people looked at it and said,

00:04:57.020 but are people going to have

00:04:58.280 trouble pronouncing that?

00:04:59.580 Well, they say,

00:05:00.720 Mediaite.

00:05:03.500 Mediaite.

00:05:03.940 Well, anyway,

00:05:08.620 the people who named it

00:05:09.840 are as dumb

00:05:10.880 as the people

00:05:11.400 who write for it,

00:05:12.660 and they've got

00:05:13.240 a little fake news here

00:05:14.180 about Charlie Kirk.

00:05:16.160 And here's the headline.

00:05:17.720 The headline on Mediaite

00:05:19.260 is,

00:05:21.840 Charlie Kirk engages

00:05:22.800 in insane speculation

00:05:24.380 that more than a million people

00:05:26.960 have died from vaccines.

00:05:28.280 Now,

00:05:30.800 before I even tell you

00:05:33.000 the details,

00:05:34.760 do you think that happened?

00:05:36.520 Here's your first test

00:05:37.620 for fake news.

00:05:39.760 If the moment you read

00:05:41.020 the headline,

00:05:41.900 you say to yourself,

00:05:43.240 but did it?

00:05:45.560 Can you ever ask yourself

00:05:47.500 that question?

00:05:48.620 It says,

00:05:49.260 Charlie Kirk engages

00:05:50.740 in insane speculation

00:05:52.140 that more than a million people

00:05:53.940 have died from vaccines.

00:05:56.140 If the first thing

00:05:56.940 you think to yourself

00:05:57.840 is,

00:05:58.880 but did he?

00:06:00.860 Did he?

00:06:02.820 Did he?

00:06:04.440 I mean, really?

00:06:05.840 Really, did he?

00:06:08.660 Do I have to even

00:06:09.640 tell you the details

00:06:10.480 to tell you

00:06:11.220 this didn't happen?

00:06:12.620 Let me tell you

00:06:13.260 what did happen,

00:06:14.760 which is close enough

00:06:16.200 to this

00:06:17.200 that you can see

00:06:18.280 how they came up

00:06:19.060 with the headline,

00:06:19.820 but it's still fake news.

00:06:20.940 What he did say

00:06:22.500 is that the so-called

00:06:24.240 VAERS,

00:06:25.600 or however you say it,

00:06:26.940 it's the one

00:06:28.840 where all the

00:06:29.580 vaccination

00:06:30.760 bad reports

00:06:32.120 come in.

00:06:32.880 So anybody

00:06:33.780 who thinks

00:06:34.600 that they might

00:06:35.800 have been

00:06:36.300 hurt

00:06:37.260 with some side effect

00:06:38.820 from a vaccination

00:06:39.680 can report it

00:06:41.220 to this database,

00:06:42.140 but the database

00:06:42.640 is not meant

00:06:43.400 to be

00:06:43.920 an accurate database.

00:06:46.500 The database

00:06:47.360 is meant

00:06:47.900 to capture

00:06:48.500 every speculation

00:06:50.100 of,

00:06:50.640 well,

00:06:51.340 I don't know,

00:06:51.940 I had the vaccination

00:06:52.840 on Tuesday,

00:06:53.500 I had

00:06:54.460 this problem

00:06:56.080 on Thursday,

00:06:57.500 can't say

00:06:58.020 one caused

00:06:58.600 the other,

00:06:59.240 but I'm reporting

00:07:00.040 it so that

00:07:01.700 the medical

00:07:02.440 community,

00:07:03.700 if it sees

00:07:04.260 a pattern,

00:07:05.440 maybe everybody

00:07:06.520 two days later

00:07:07.420 had some similar

00:07:08.320 problem,

00:07:08.840 that would mean

00:07:09.260 something,

00:07:10.200 or if a lot

00:07:10.720 of people did.

00:07:12.640 So what Charlie

00:07:13.540 Kirk was saying

00:07:14.260 is that the

00:07:15.120 VAERS database

00:07:15.940 is so inaccurate

00:07:17.500 that you wouldn't

00:07:19.820 know the difference

00:07:20.500 if a million people

00:07:21.620 had had problems

00:07:22.880 with the vaccinations,

00:07:24.780 or if,

00:07:25.520 you know,

00:07:25.820 100,000,

00:07:27.140 or if 5,000.

00:07:29.660 So his point

00:07:30.740 was that the

00:07:31.700 VAERS database

00:07:32.620 is potentially

00:07:35.100 wildly inaccurate.

00:07:38.360 Now,

00:07:38.720 is that exactly

00:07:39.540 the same

00:07:40.120 as,

00:07:41.300 quote,

00:07:42.100 insane speculation

00:07:43.660 that more than

00:07:45.080 a million people

00:07:45.800 have died

00:07:46.260 from vaccines?

00:07:48.420 Those are not

00:07:49.320 the same.

00:07:50.500 Those are not

00:07:51.640 the same.

00:07:52.680 Talking about

00:07:53.360 how inaccurate

00:07:54.340 the accounting

00:07:56.120 is,

00:07:57.260 is not a

00:07:57.840 speculation

00:07:58.240 that a million

00:07:59.080 people died.

00:07:59.760 They're just

00:08:00.040 not the same.

00:08:01.220 So,

00:08:01.640 fake news

00:08:02.240 from media

00:08:03.480 ite.

00:08:07.620 Rasmussen

00:08:08.140 has a poll,

00:08:09.500 I think it's

00:08:09.960 coming out this

00:08:10.480 morning,

00:08:10.900 saying that,

00:08:12.000 it was asking

00:08:12.820 if people

00:08:14.100 thought that

00:08:14.880 most black

00:08:16.700 people are

00:08:17.300 racist, 0.77

00:08:18.140 do people

00:08:18.560 think that

00:08:18.960 most white

00:08:19.480 people are

00:08:19.900 racist, 0.77

00:08:20.500 and do

00:08:21.140 people think

00:08:21.720 that most

00:08:23.100 Hispanic

00:08:23.840 people are

00:08:24.560 racist.

00:08:26.120 And the

00:08:27.460 good news

00:08:27.900 is that

00:08:29.440 most people

00:08:30.160 think most

00:08:32.060 other people

00:08:32.800 are not

00:08:33.960 racist.

00:08:35.460 Sort of good

00:08:36.320 news,

00:08:36.680 right?

00:08:37.500 That if you

00:08:39.100 actually ask

00:08:39.820 them,

00:08:40.540 hey,

00:08:41.400 do you think

00:08:41.840 most white

00:08:43.440 people are

00:08:43.960 racist?

00:08:44.280 That even

00:08:45.660 the black

00:08:46.200 population

00:08:46.880 says no,

00:08:49.400 no,

00:08:49.820 not most

00:08:50.300 of them,

00:08:51.360 right?

00:08:52.020 So,

00:08:52.560 the good

00:08:52.840 news is

00:08:53.480 that when

00:08:54.300 we look

00:08:55.060 at our,

00:08:56.220 I was

00:08:57.880 going to

00:08:58.040 say fellow

00:08:58.620 citizens,

00:08:59.380 but is that

00:08:59.760 sexist?

00:09:01.880 When we

00:09:02.480 look at our

00:09:03.000 other citizens,

00:09:04.440 we mostly

00:09:05.180 think they're

00:09:05.660 not racist.

00:09:08.280 So,

00:09:08.840 that's good

00:09:09.200 news,

00:09:09.560 right?

00:09:09.760 Is it?

00:09:12.360 But is it?

00:09:13.140 But is it?

00:09:16.460 Here's the

00:09:17.200 counter to

00:09:17.840 that.

00:09:19.240 Do you

00:09:19.520 want to

00:09:19.760 make racism

00:09:21.160 go away?

00:09:22.940 Stop saying

00:09:23.880 that some

00:09:24.320 people are

00:09:24.820 racist and

00:09:25.500 some people

00:09:25.980 are not.

00:09:27.440 That's what

00:09:28.140 causes racism.

00:09:29.540 It's the

00:09:29.920 frame.

00:09:30.860 As soon as

00:09:31.420 you accept

00:09:31.980 the false

00:09:33.020 frame that

00:09:34.620 some people

00:09:35.120 are racist

00:09:35.780 and some

00:09:36.320 people are

00:09:36.720 not,

00:09:38.000 you've got

00:09:38.960 to fight

00:09:39.300 on your

00:09:39.620 hands,

00:09:40.380 right?

00:09:41.360 Because

00:09:41.620 everybody's

00:09:42.060 going to

00:09:42.220 say,

00:09:42.780 well,

00:09:42.920 if there

00:09:43.340 are racists

00:09:44.220 and I

00:09:45.320 know for

00:09:45.940 sure I'm

00:09:46.300 not one

00:09:46.680 of them,

00:09:47.800 then I've

00:09:48.780 got a pretty

00:09:49.300 good idea

00:09:49.920 you might be

00:09:50.720 one of them

00:09:51.140 because I

00:09:51.480 know they

00:09:51.780 exist because

00:09:53.340 that's the

00:09:53.740 frame I've

00:09:54.240 accepted.

00:09:54.880 Some are

00:09:55.240 racist, 0.77

00:09:56.580 some are

00:09:56.980 not,

00:09:57.820 so they're

00:09:58.220 out there

00:09:58.680 and I

00:09:59.680 know I'm

00:10:00.060 not one,

00:10:01.280 so maybe

00:10:02.200 you're one

00:10:02.760 because of

00:10:03.100 those things

00:10:03.620 you said

00:10:04.060 or those

00:10:04.400 things you

00:10:04.720 did.

00:10:05.660 Here's the

00:10:06.280 most productive

00:10:07.660 frame you

00:10:08.380 could ever

00:10:08.740 have.

00:10:10.460 Everybody's

00:10:10.940 racist.

00:10:11.380 Now,

00:10:13.520 I don't

00:10:13.820 mean in

00:10:14.160 the sense

00:10:14.500 that they're

00:10:14.880 practicing

00:10:15.540 actively or

00:10:16.820 conscious of

00:10:17.640 it,

00:10:18.400 but brains

00:10:19.720 are pattern

00:10:20.720 recognition

00:10:21.300 machines.

00:10:22.580 That's what

00:10:23.140 they do,

00:10:23.480 they recognize

00:10:24.000 patterns.

00:10:25.040 But the

00:10:25.380 problem is

00:10:26.040 we're really

00:10:27.140 shitty at

00:10:27.800 it.

00:10:28.680 So we

00:10:29.240 see patterns

00:10:29.860 that are

00:10:30.220 fake patterns.

00:10:31.540 We imagine

00:10:32.260 that if we

00:10:32.780 see something

00:10:33.320 twice,

00:10:34.340 well,

00:10:34.880 that draws

00:10:35.460 a line,

00:10:36.180 two points

00:10:36.600 make a line,

00:10:37.800 now I know

00:10:38.300 everything in the

00:10:38.880 world about

00:10:39.340 everything.

00:10:40.480 But it

00:10:40.980 doesn't work

00:10:41.380 that way.

00:10:42.020 We see

00:10:42.540 patterns where

00:10:43.140 there are

00:10:43.420 no patterns.

00:10:44.560 But also

00:10:45.040 we see

00:10:45.520 patterns that

00:10:46.640 are true

00:10:47.200 that just

00:10:48.640 don't tell

00:10:49.020 you anything

00:10:49.360 useful.

00:10:50.340 And you

00:10:50.540 imagine it

00:10:51.160 does,

00:10:51.700 right?

00:10:52.500 So what

00:10:53.300 does it

00:10:53.560 tell me,

00:10:53.940 for example,

00:10:55.900 if the

00:10:56.320 pattern is

00:10:57.060 most,

00:10:59.320 let's say

00:10:59.700 most Nobel

00:11:00.420 winning

00:11:00.880 scientists

00:11:01.620 were white

00:11:02.380 guys?

00:11:03.700 Let's say

00:11:04.260 that's true.

00:11:04.960 Is that

00:11:05.300 true?

00:11:05.620 I don't know

00:11:05.940 if that's

00:11:06.260 true,

00:11:06.540 but let's

00:11:07.020 say it is

00:11:07.440 because it

00:11:07.740 feels like

00:11:08.300 something that

00:11:09.240 might be

00:11:09.560 true.

00:11:10.460 Does that

00:11:11.100 help me?

00:11:12.560 Can I

00:11:12.900 take credit

00:11:13.380 for that?

00:11:14.580 Can I

00:11:14.980 say,

00:11:15.440 hey,

00:11:15.620 I'm a

00:11:15.920 white guy

00:11:16.400 and there

00:11:17.960 are a lot

00:11:18.220 of these

00:11:18.520 Nobel Prize

00:11:19.280 winning

00:11:19.580 white guys,

00:11:21.040 so yay,

00:11:22.200 white guys.

00:11:23.340 How does

00:11:23.680 that make

00:11:24.020 sense?

00:11:25.240 Because what

00:11:25.720 exactly did

00:11:26.580 I do in

00:11:27.880 this scenario?

00:11:29.200 Did I win

00:11:30.140 some kind

00:11:31.640 of Nobel

00:11:32.060 Prize that I

00:11:33.480 don't know

00:11:33.800 about?

00:11:34.080 The fact

00:11:35.520 that I'm

00:11:35.860 a white

00:11:36.160 guy and

00:11:37.360 that there

00:11:37.740 are other

00:11:38.060 white guys

00:11:38.640 who are

00:11:38.900 maybe bending

00:11:39.580 the curve?

00:11:40.840 They're skewing

00:11:41.900 the average

00:11:42.580 for white

00:11:43.020 guys?

00:11:44.020 But that

00:11:44.580 doesn't accrue

00:11:45.100 to me.

00:11:46.480 I don't get

00:11:47.180 any credit

00:11:47.560 for that.

00:11:48.580 I did

00:11:48.940 nothing.

00:11:50.680 Right?

00:11:51.460 So as soon

00:11:52.100 as you imagine

00:11:52.800 that there's

00:11:53.880 something about

00:11:54.460 the average

00:11:55.060 of your group

00:11:56.000 that's important,

00:11:58.400 it's not.

00:12:00.600 It doesn't

00:12:01.280 have anything

00:12:02.080 to do with

00:12:02.660 you.

00:12:03.200 You didn't

00:12:03.680 do those

00:12:04.140 things.

00:12:04.500 You know,

00:12:05.260 what if

00:12:05.480 you say

00:12:05.900 the average

00:12:07.420 basketball

00:12:08.000 team is

00:12:08.640 black?

00:12:10.220 Does that

00:12:10.860 help the

00:12:11.300 people who

00:12:11.720 are not

00:12:12.020 on the

00:12:12.400 team who

00:12:12.900 happen to

00:12:13.360 be black?

00:12:15.420 How's that

00:12:16.020 help them?

00:12:17.260 They're not

00:12:17.880 on the NBA

00:12:18.400 team.

00:12:18.940 I'm not

00:12:19.320 on it.

00:12:20.700 So the

00:12:21.340 people who

00:12:21.920 are changing

00:12:22.340 the average

00:12:23.160 for your

00:12:23.760 group,

00:12:24.800 they're not

00:12:25.620 you for

00:12:26.680 the most

00:12:27.000 part.

00:12:27.940 Right?

00:12:28.340 They're just

00:12:28.980 not me and

00:12:29.600 they're not

00:12:29.880 you.

00:12:30.140 So that

00:12:31.420 doesn't have

00:12:31.800 much effect

00:12:32.380 on us,

00:12:33.380 except maybe

00:12:33.960 in how you

00:12:34.500 understand the

00:12:35.920 situation,

00:12:36.500 I guess.

00:12:37.280 So here's

00:12:37.880 the most

00:12:38.180 productive

00:12:38.620 thing you

00:12:39.080 could do.

00:12:40.200 You'd say

00:12:40.700 everybody's a

00:12:42.020 racist because

00:12:42.980 we're born

00:12:43.480 that way,

00:12:44.400 because we

00:12:44.920 have pattern

00:12:45.400 recognition

00:12:45.980 brains,

00:12:47.360 can't turn

00:12:47.860 it off.

00:12:49.200 If you

00:12:49.560 turned off

00:12:49.940 your pattern

00:12:50.340 recognition,

00:12:51.520 you would

00:12:51.820 just be a

00:12:52.220 vegetable.

00:12:53.980 It's the

00:12:54.540 only thing

00:12:54.880 that causes 0.52

00:12:55.280 you to

00:12:55.660 act,

00:12:56.640 is recognizing

00:12:57.380 patterns and

00:12:58.100 say,

00:12:58.300 oh,

00:12:59.120 if I don't

00:12:59.760 go to

00:13:00.020 work,

00:13:00.260 I get

00:13:00.460 fired.

00:13:00.880 That's

00:13:01.040 a pattern.

00:13:02.140 I better

00:13:02.500 go to

00:13:02.760 work.

00:13:05.360 Well,

00:13:05.880 thank you,

00:13:06.780 Stephan,

00:13:07.240 or Stephen,

00:13:09.420 who says

00:13:11.060 I'm pretty

00:13:11.500 fly for a

00:13:12.220 white guy.

00:13:15.220 That's the

00:13:15.800 whitest thing

00:13:16.280 anybody ever

00:13:16.800 said,

00:13:17.140 I think.

00:13:19.140 All right.

00:13:20.980 So I

00:13:22.640 think we

00:13:23.040 should get

00:13:23.380 to the

00:13:23.640 point where

00:13:24.880 we can

00:13:25.240 see the

00:13:25.680 ridiculousness

00:13:26.760 of racism.

00:13:28.280 rather

00:13:30.040 than

00:13:30.480 condemn

00:13:31.080 it,

00:13:31.920 it should

00:13:32.240 be

00:13:32.460 mocked.

00:13:33.900 Because

00:13:34.380 the whole

00:13:35.680 race

00:13:36.200 racism

00:13:36.700 imagines

00:13:37.480 that

00:13:37.840 you're

00:13:39.240 an idiot, 0.96

00:13:39.940 first of

00:13:40.300 all.

00:13:41.020 If you

00:13:41.640 think that

00:13:42.060 you can

00:13:42.360 predict

00:13:42.780 how

00:13:43.080 somebody's

00:13:43.560 going to

00:13:43.780 do in

00:13:44.140 some

00:13:44.420 instance

00:13:45.060 because

00:13:45.400 of

00:13:45.580 their

00:13:45.720 ethnicity,

00:13:46.940 you're

00:13:47.300 an idiot. 0.91

00:13:48.460 It's not

00:13:48.740 really racism

00:13:49.860 isn't quite

00:13:50.500 the problem

00:13:51.120 there,

00:13:51.400 is it?

00:13:52.240 If you

00:13:52.600 say to

00:13:52.860 yourself,

00:13:53.820 I'm not

00:13:54.200 going to

00:13:54.380 hire this

00:13:54.760 person for

00:13:55.700 a job,

00:13:56.560 even

00:13:57.360 though

00:13:57.560 their

00:13:57.720 credentials

00:13:58.160 look good

00:13:58.800 because of

00:14:00.200 what?

00:14:00.540 The race?

00:14:02.140 How does

00:14:02.660 that help

00:14:02.960 you?

00:14:04.000 Because

00:14:04.220 wouldn't

00:14:04.420 you rather

00:14:04.740 have a

00:14:05.020 good

00:14:05.160 employee,

00:14:05.800 all things

00:14:06.200 being equal?

00:14:07.320 So I

00:14:10.040 think we

00:14:11.380 should treat

00:14:11.900 it way

00:14:12.440 less

00:14:12.920 seriously

00:14:13.560 while also

00:14:15.420 being deadly

00:14:16.040 serious about

00:14:16.700 it.

00:14:17.200 Because the

00:14:17.800 subject is

00:14:18.300 serious,

00:14:18.980 right?

00:14:19.560 But that

00:14:20.080 doesn't mean

00:14:20.540 that the

00:14:20.800 way you

00:14:21.080 treat it

00:14:21.580 all the

00:14:21.920 time in

00:14:22.640 every

00:14:22.900 interaction,

00:14:23.820 every

00:14:24.020 communication,

00:14:24.880 every social

00:14:25.400 media thing

00:14:26.000 should be

00:14:26.800 serious.

00:14:27.880 I think

00:14:28.260 you should

00:14:29.120 be able

00:14:29.420 to talk

00:14:31.000 to somebody

00:14:31.780 of any

00:14:32.180 ethnicity and

00:14:33.740 joke about

00:14:34.320 the fact that

00:14:34.960 they have a

00:14:35.440 stereotype that

00:14:37.320 in all

00:14:37.680 likelihood does

00:14:38.620 not apply to

00:14:39.260 them individually.

00:14:40.860 Just like,

00:14:41.640 you know,

00:14:41.960 I think it's

00:14:42.740 funny.

00:14:43.720 Now,

00:14:43.860 it's easy,

00:14:44.320 right?

00:14:44.560 It's easy if

00:14:45.080 you're a

00:14:45.320 white guy to

00:14:45.860 laugh at this

00:14:46.680 stuff.

00:14:47.420 But I

00:14:48.240 feel like it's

00:14:49.320 the most

00:14:49.620 productive way.

00:14:51.120 Because if

00:14:51.440 somebody says

00:14:52.200 to me that I

00:14:53.140 can't dance and

00:14:53.920 I like cheese,

00:14:54.640 cheese, is

00:14:56.100 that racist?

00:14:57.600 Yeah, I

00:14:57.980 guess so,

00:14:58.720 right?

00:14:59.200 Because white 0.98

00:14:59.760 people can't 0.97

00:15:00.360 dance and we

00:15:00.900 like cheese.

00:15:02.180 Yeah, it's

00:15:02.740 racist.

00:15:04.580 But does it

00:15:05.360 apply to me?

00:15:07.060 Okay, by

00:15:07.580 coincidence, I

00:15:08.680 like cheese and

00:15:09.380 I can't dance.

00:15:10.660 But that's just a

00:15:11.800 coincidence.

00:15:12.760 It has nothing to

00:15:13.520 do with me being

00:15:14.140 white.

00:15:15.040 Or does it?

00:15:16.360 I don't know.

00:15:17.260 But it's funny

00:15:17.780 either way, right?

00:15:19.880 How seriously can

00:15:21.040 I take that?

00:15:21.580 Anyway, we

00:15:26.740 should learn to

00:15:27.580 laugh this stuff

00:15:28.360 off while also

00:15:29.380 treating it like

00:15:30.540 it's deadly

00:15:30.940 serious, right?

00:15:32.020 You can't ignore

00:15:32.680 it.

00:15:33.760 You've got to

00:15:34.300 take care of the

00:15:34.820 important stuff.

00:15:38.720 Here's a

00:15:39.340 question.

00:15:40.220 Would it be

00:15:40.600 legal or I

00:15:42.740 think it would

00:15:43.160 be economical,

00:15:44.440 but would it

00:15:44.920 be legal to

00:15:46.580 have an

00:15:47.000 invitation-only

00:15:48.200 health insurance

00:15:49.640 business where

00:15:51.540 the only people

00:15:52.280 who can join

00:15:53.000 it are people

00:15:54.200 who are

00:15:54.520 recommended by

00:15:55.380 people who

00:15:55.880 are already

00:15:56.320 in it and

00:15:57.460 maybe more

00:15:58.020 than one or

00:15:58.760 something like

00:15:59.220 that?

00:15:59.880 Some kind of

00:16:00.520 way that people

00:16:02.440 who know the

00:16:03.140 other people

00:16:03.680 they know,

00:16:05.380 let me be less

00:16:06.240 redundant,

00:16:07.320 some kind of

00:16:07.980 way where a

00:16:08.520 member of the

00:16:09.020 health insurance

00:16:09.740 group can

00:16:10.960 recommend somebody

00:16:11.780 who has a

00:16:12.160 healthy lifestyle.

00:16:13.960 That's all you

00:16:14.580 know about.

00:16:15.320 For example,

00:16:16.100 I have a

00:16:16.480 friend who is

00:16:19.020 the most

00:16:19.640 lifestyle,

00:16:20.700 committed person

00:16:22.700 I've ever

00:16:23.160 seen, right?

00:16:24.260 Eats right,

00:16:25.540 exercises,

00:16:26.880 just does

00:16:27.660 everything that

00:16:28.580 a wise person

00:16:29.660 should do to

00:16:30.240 take care of

00:16:30.720 their own

00:16:31.000 health.

00:16:32.660 Don't you

00:16:33.260 want to be in

00:16:33.740 the same group

00:16:34.860 as them?

00:16:36.280 Somebody who's

00:16:36.960 taking care of

00:16:37.560 themselves and

00:16:38.120 you get the

00:16:38.600 cheapest rate?

00:16:39.940 Because if you

00:16:40.680 could only put in

00:16:41.780 people who you

00:16:42.460 knew were pretty

00:16:43.000 healthy, now of

00:16:45.000 course it would be

00:16:45.600 hard to bring in

00:16:46.120 the whole family

00:16:46.800 and then what

00:16:47.420 happens if somebody

00:16:48.160 gets unhealthy

00:16:48.840 after they're in

00:16:49.640 the group, I

00:16:50.200 think you'd

00:16:50.500 have to keep

00:16:50.940 them.

00:16:51.620 That would be

00:16:52.020 part of your

00:16:52.440 risk.

00:16:53.360 But I just

00:16:53.780 wonder if you

00:16:54.300 could do that

00:16:55.460 legally.

00:16:56.740 Would there be

00:16:57.320 any legal

00:16:58.140 prohibition against

00:16:59.180 that?

00:17:00.300 The answer is

00:17:01.220 no, currently

00:17:02.400 not legal.

00:17:04.240 Okay.

00:17:05.120 So I'm hearing

00:17:06.360 people say it's

00:17:06.960 not legal.

00:17:10.460 Because it

00:17:11.040 would be

00:17:11.260 discrimination,

00:17:12.260 would it?

00:17:13.320 What would

00:17:13.740 it?

00:17:14.680 Would it be

00:17:15.260 discrimination?

00:17:15.720 I don't know.

00:17:17.440 Could be.

00:17:19.700 It would be

00:17:20.200 discrimination if

00:17:21.120 the company

00:17:21.740 decided who

00:17:22.760 could be in,

00:17:23.440 but would it

00:17:23.820 be discrimination

00:17:24.480 if the members

00:17:25.400 decided?

00:17:26.260 That's the

00:17:26.700 question.

00:17:28.300 All right, so

00:17:28.940 have you seen

00:17:29.840 the flooding in,

00:17:30.760 I don't know if

00:17:31.440 I'm pronouncing

00:17:31.980 it right,

00:17:32.780 Zhengzhou,

00:17:33.760 China? 0.73

00:17:35.940 Apparently, I

00:17:36.900 saw the Ian

00:17:37.400 Bremer tweet

00:17:39.200 today that they

00:17:40.320 got eight months

00:17:41.060 of rainfall in

00:17:41.800 one day.

00:17:43.560 Is that

00:17:44.200 true?

00:17:45.500 They got eight

00:17:46.260 months of

00:17:46.780 rainfall in

00:17:47.360 one day,

00:17:47.820 and the

00:17:48.020 pictures are

00:17:48.480 horrific,

00:17:49.120 you know,

00:17:49.320 cars underwater

00:17:50.060 and stuff.

00:17:51.180 And, you

00:17:51.880 know, I like

00:17:52.420 to remind

00:17:54.160 my listeners

00:17:56.280 every now and

00:17:57.140 then that I

00:17:58.580 have nothing

00:17:58.960 against the

00:17:59.540 Chinese public.

00:18:01.840 The Chinese 0.89

00:18:02.360 people are

00:18:02.900 awesome.

00:18:04.240 The Chinese 0.89

00:18:04.800 government,

00:18:05.700 I got a

00:18:07.240 problem with

00:18:07.700 them.

00:18:08.860 And I

00:18:11.060 have some,

00:18:12.480 I guess,

00:18:13.960 predictions slash

00:18:15.500 speculation.

00:18:16.200 I think that

00:18:18.220 the Chinese

00:18:18.760 government is

00:18:19.580 a lot closer

00:18:20.260 to falling

00:18:21.020 than we

00:18:22.400 realize.

00:18:23.880 Because, you

00:18:24.360 know, how

00:18:25.120 often is it

00:18:25.740 that you'll

00:18:27.240 think something

00:18:27.780 is a stable

00:18:28.480 situation, say

00:18:29.660 the Soviet

00:18:31.180 Union, you 0.78

00:18:32.440 know, the

00:18:32.660 USSR, but

00:18:34.120 then it

00:18:34.400 changes.

00:18:35.280 You really

00:18:35.980 don't see it

00:18:36.500 coming.

00:18:36.880 Sometimes

00:18:37.140 things can

00:18:37.740 change pretty

00:18:38.280 quickly.

00:18:38.580 And there's

00:18:40.160 some bad

00:18:41.360 news happening

00:18:42.000 in China

00:18:42.920 now.

00:18:43.520 If you

00:18:43.860 look at

00:18:44.140 the level

00:18:44.540 of pollution,

00:18:46.340 they have

00:18:46.680 deadly

00:18:47.020 pollution, and

00:18:48.840 they have

00:18:49.320 now this

00:18:49.700 rainfall stuff

00:18:50.580 that's really

00:18:51.540 messing them

00:18:52.260 up.

00:18:52.960 And they're

00:18:53.600 still locked

00:18:54.600 down because

00:18:55.460 of the

00:18:55.700 COVID.

00:18:57.460 And they

00:19:01.240 also have a

00:19:01.920 population

00:19:02.920 problem,

00:19:03.640 right?

00:19:03.960 I think they

00:19:04.360 have an old

00:19:05.960 people problem,

00:19:06.740 but they've

00:19:08.500 got some

00:19:08.780 massive

00:19:09.020 problems.

00:19:10.100 But there's

00:19:10.540 a bigger

00:19:11.500 problem, I

00:19:12.140 think, coming.

00:19:14.240 And I

00:19:14.860 don't know how

00:19:15.360 they could

00:19:15.680 ever avoid

00:19:16.220 it.

00:19:16.820 I could be

00:19:17.340 surprised.

00:19:18.580 But how do

00:19:19.040 they avoid

00:19:19.580 the fact that

00:19:20.580 sooner or

00:19:21.080 later, they're

00:19:22.340 either going to

00:19:22.780 have a massive

00:19:23.520 COVID problem,

00:19:25.860 or they're

00:19:28.660 going to have

00:19:28.960 to explain why

00:19:29.740 they don't

00:19:30.140 have a massive

00:19:30.820 COVID problem.

00:19:32.540 Am I right?

00:19:34.160 Now, sure,

00:19:35.260 they can have

00:19:35.980 therapeutic

00:19:36.640 and vaccinations

00:19:37.640 and stuff.

00:19:38.520 But so far, it

00:19:39.300 looks like they're

00:19:39.760 not even

00:19:40.160 infected.

00:19:41.860 What's up with

00:19:42.620 that?

00:19:43.380 We have a

00:19:44.000 virus that

00:19:44.600 doesn't burn

00:19:45.160 out in the

00:19:45.560 summer with

00:19:46.920 variants like

00:19:47.940 crazy.

00:19:49.160 Are you

00:19:49.540 telling me

00:19:49.980 that China 0.93

00:19:50.560 can avoid

00:19:51.900 infection from

00:19:53.020 this virus

00:19:53.880 indefinitely?

00:19:55.340 I feel like

00:19:56.700 all they're

00:19:57.020 doing is

00:19:57.420 pushing it

00:19:57.860 down the

00:19:58.180 road.

00:19:59.140 And maybe

00:19:59.500 they're

00:19:59.920 vaccinated

00:20:00.320 quickly, but

00:20:01.240 they're not

00:20:01.720 going to get

00:20:02.160 there because

00:20:03.440 they've got a

00:20:03.840 lot of people.

00:20:04.360 So I

00:20:06.580 feel as

00:20:07.160 though there's

00:20:08.660 got to be at

00:20:09.160 least a 50%

00:20:10.320 chance, maybe

00:20:11.280 more, that

00:20:12.540 China's COVID 1.00

00:20:14.160 emergency is

00:20:15.380 ahead of them.

00:20:17.780 Is that

00:20:18.460 reasonable?

00:20:18.820 Would it be

00:20:20.320 reasonable to

00:20:20.940 say that it's

00:20:21.560 ahead?

00:20:22.400 I feel like

00:20:25.200 the Chinese

00:20:26.380 government could

00:20:27.120 fall because

00:20:28.500 there are some

00:20:29.440 serious bad

00:20:31.100 problems happening

00:20:32.880 there.

00:20:37.200 Let me say

00:20:38.740 in...

00:20:43.800 My gardener

00:20:44.760 just asked if

00:20:45.460 he could start

00:20:46.060 the leaf blower

00:20:47.300 right below my

00:20:47.940 window.

00:20:49.420 I'm going to

00:20:49.760 tell him to

00:20:50.140 hold off on

00:20:50.620 that for a few

00:20:51.140 minutes.

00:20:52.400 Why is

00:20:53.060 everybody

00:20:53.340 contacting me

00:20:54.060 now?

00:21:00.100 So I

00:21:00.940 just got a

00:21:01.500 text from...

00:21:03.700 I won't

00:21:04.560 tell you who

00:21:05.480 because that

00:21:06.100 would be part

00:21:06.780 of the story

00:21:07.260 if I told

00:21:07.800 you who.

00:21:10.860 So I'm

00:21:11.460 being told

00:21:12.160 that yesterday's

00:21:14.120 volume on

00:21:15.220 YouTube was

00:21:16.620 bad.

00:21:17.580 Yeah, I do

00:21:18.040 know that.

00:21:18.580 So I do

00:21:19.060 know that

00:21:19.400 yesterday's

00:21:19.920 volume on

00:21:20.560 YouTube was

00:21:21.160 actually bad.

00:21:22.400 So...

00:21:24.400 Which is

00:21:25.660 why I

00:21:25.980 turned it

00:21:26.300 off.

00:21:28.640 All right.

00:21:30.060 Let's go

00:21:30.460 back to our

00:21:31.100 show.

00:21:33.380 Anyway, I

00:21:34.380 think China's 0.94

00:21:35.460 got a big

00:21:35.780 problem and

00:21:36.480 it's going to

00:21:36.800 get worse.

00:21:38.480 God damn it,

00:21:39.400 stop texting

00:21:39.980 me.

00:21:40.280 All right.

00:21:44.980 Have you

00:21:45.540 heard Biden's

00:21:46.520 babble?

00:21:47.060 I want to

00:21:47.420 read for you

00:21:48.060 what Biden

00:21:49.380 said today.

00:21:49.980 I think

00:21:51.280 yesterday, I

00:21:52.020 guess.

00:21:52.840 So this is

00:21:53.660 Biden's actual

00:21:54.700 quote and

00:21:55.900 an answer to

00:21:56.520 it doesn't

00:21:56.900 even matter

00:21:57.320 what the

00:21:57.600 question is.

00:21:59.200 So he

00:21:59.820 said this and

00:22:00.460 I'll read it

00:22:00.940 exactly as he

00:22:01.800 said it.

00:22:02.800 The question

00:22:03.260 is whether or

00:22:04.320 not we

00:22:05.120 should be in

00:22:05.640 the position

00:22:06.200 we're in.

00:22:10.360 Wait, what

00:22:11.100 did he say?

00:22:12.920 Why can't the

00:22:13.760 experts say we

00:22:14.620 know this virus

00:22:15.360 is in fact going

00:22:16.180 to be the

00:22:16.680 excuse we

00:22:17.300 need?

00:22:17.580 Wait, that's

00:22:19.060 the wrong

00:22:19.360 part.

00:22:20.280 God damn

00:22:20.700 it.

00:22:22.320 Sorry, didn't

00:22:23.480 mean to use

00:22:23.980 the Lord's

00:22:24.500 name in

00:22:24.840 vain there.

00:22:25.880 Sometimes it

00:22:26.400 just slips

00:22:26.860 out.

00:22:28.840 I actually

00:22:29.480 try not to

00:22:30.080 do that but

00:22:30.520 it does slip

00:22:30.980 out.

00:22:32.680 Well, you're

00:22:33.480 going to have

00:22:33.640 to go find

00:22:34.060 that because

00:22:34.440 I cut and

00:22:34.940 paste the

00:22:35.300 wrong thing

00:22:35.800 into my

00:22:36.360 notes.

00:22:36.800 But Biden

00:22:37.780 has another

00:22:38.620 babble

00:22:39.580 session.

00:22:40.900 It's one

00:22:42.080 for the

00:22:42.400 ages.

00:22:43.720 And I

00:22:44.100 noted today

00:22:44.740 that Biden

00:22:45.760 is the only

00:22:46.260 president who

00:22:46.940 sounds the

00:22:47.440 same if

00:22:47.880 you read

00:22:48.300 his statements

00:22:50.140 backwards or

00:22:50.900 forwards.

00:22:52.300 Because they're

00:22:52.720 just sort of

00:22:53.260 words.

00:22:55.220 They don't

00:22:55.680 have that

00:22:56.020 whole grammar

00:22:56.620 structure thing

00:22:57.560 that you

00:22:57.860 expect.

00:23:03.780 Here's a

00:23:04.660 fascinating

00:23:05.240 thing.

00:23:06.360 So I

00:23:06.620 guess yesterday

00:23:07.300 Roger

00:23:07.820 Peelke,

00:23:08.920 Jr., who's

00:23:09.720 an expert

00:23:10.160 on climate

00:23:10.860 change

00:23:11.260 disaster

00:23:11.800 stuff,

00:23:12.960 he testified

00:23:13.480 in Congress

00:23:14.320 and as

00:23:15.060 Michael

00:23:15.340 Schellenberger

00:23:15.880 is tweeting

00:23:16.560 today,

00:23:17.880 that Senator

00:23:18.840 Tester,

00:23:19.740 who apparently

00:23:20.480 is a

00:23:23.040 Democrat,

00:23:24.380 was shocked

00:23:25.880 to learn

00:23:26.700 from Roger

00:23:28.040 Peelke,

00:23:28.680 Jr.

00:23:29.800 that the

00:23:30.680 expense for

00:23:32.180 natural

00:23:32.600 disasters as

00:23:34.240 a percentage

00:23:34.820 of GDP

00:23:35.680 has gone

00:23:38.380 down basically

00:23:39.580 consistently for

00:23:40.900 years and years

00:23:41.520 and years.

00:23:41.880 So we're

00:23:42.740 sort of at

00:23:43.260 a low

00:23:43.580 point for

00:23:45.060 the cost

00:23:45.700 of natural

00:23:46.620 disasters.

00:23:48.080 And this

00:23:48.660 Democrat,

00:23:49.420 who actually

00:23:49.940 has an

00:23:50.400 important job

00:23:51.080 that's relevant

00:23:51.660 to climate

00:23:52.380 change,

00:23:53.300 just think

00:23:53.700 about this.

00:23:54.840 This is a

00:23:55.460 senator whose

00:23:56.240 job for

00:23:58.080 the country

00:23:58.800 is in

00:24:00.980 part climate

00:24:02.320 change related.

00:24:03.620 So he's got a

00:24:04.460 responsibility in

00:24:05.440 this field

00:24:05.880 specifically and

00:24:07.500 did not know

00:24:08.460 that we're at

00:24:09.700 the lowest

00:24:10.420 cost of

00:24:11.880 natural

00:24:12.240 disasters in

00:24:13.260 history.

00:24:15.120 Now how many

00:24:15.600 of you knew

00:24:16.080 that?

00:24:17.140 Because I knew

00:24:17.820 that.

00:24:19.180 Did most of

00:24:20.120 you know

00:24:20.380 that?

00:24:22.740 If you do

00:24:24.140 any reading

00:24:24.680 of Michael

00:24:26.400 Schellenberger's

00:24:27.280 work, you

00:24:28.280 probably knew

00:24:28.800 that.

00:24:29.180 If you listen

00:24:29.680 to me, you

00:24:30.160 probably know

00:24:30.640 that because I

00:24:31.240 quote him all

00:24:31.780 the time.

00:24:32.160 Bjorn

00:24:35.580 Lomborg, if

00:24:36.660 you read

00:24:37.440 any of his

00:24:37.900 stuff, you

00:24:38.360 probably knew

00:24:38.820 that.

00:24:39.300 So I'm

00:24:39.500 looking in

00:24:39.820 the comments

00:24:40.240 to see how

00:24:40.740 many people

00:24:41.140 knew it.

00:24:42.240 I'm saying

00:24:42.560 yes, yes,

00:24:43.360 no, you

00:24:44.720 told me, knew

00:24:45.600 it for years,

00:24:47.340 yes, yes,

00:24:48.300 via Lomborg,

00:24:49.980 nope, Ashley

00:24:51.200 says, yes,

00:24:52.760 yes, yes,

00:24:53.440 nope.

00:24:54.580 So even

00:24:55.320 in this

00:24:56.640 audience,

00:24:57.600 which I would

00:24:58.200 consider far

00:24:59.380 more informed

00:25:01.020 than the

00:25:01.480 average,

00:25:02.160 probably 30%

00:25:04.060 saying no.

00:25:05.460 It's a lot

00:25:06.000 of people.

00:25:07.400 A lot of

00:25:07.760 people.

00:25:08.520 I believe

00:25:09.180 that the

00:25:10.120 deaths are

00:25:10.700 at an

00:25:10.960 all-time

00:25:11.300 low as

00:25:11.800 well as

00:25:12.180 the expense.

00:25:12.840 I'm not

00:25:13.080 sure if

00:25:13.380 they're

00:25:13.600 all-time,

00:25:14.700 but everything

00:25:15.240 is trending

00:25:15.720 in the right

00:25:16.120 direction.

00:25:17.000 Now, of

00:25:17.260 course, the

00:25:17.560 reason is

00:25:18.100 not that

00:25:18.620 the disasters

00:25:19.620 are getting

00:25:20.160 less.

00:25:21.240 The reason

00:25:21.680 is that we're

00:25:22.200 better at

00:25:22.660 preparing and

00:25:23.960 compensating for

00:25:25.280 them.

00:25:28.440 Oh, here

00:25:29.120 we go.

00:25:29.520 Here's somebody

00:25:30.500 pasted in on

00:25:31.580 locals.

00:25:32.920 Somebody

00:25:33.200 pasted in

00:25:34.020 the actual

00:25:35.480 Biden quote.

00:25:37.400 Let's see if I

00:25:38.000 can make this

00:25:38.520 stop scrolling

00:25:39.220 for a minute.

00:25:40.320 So Biden

00:25:40.700 said, and

00:25:41.720 the question

00:25:42.140 is whether

00:25:42.660 or not we

00:25:43.120 should be in

00:25:43.440 a position

00:25:43.840 where you

00:25:44.540 are, why

00:25:46.700 can't the

00:25:47.340 experts say

00:25:48.440 we know

00:25:48.860 that this

00:25:49.260 virus is

00:25:49.960 in fact

00:25:50.420 or it's

00:25:52.960 going to

00:25:53.740 be or

00:25:54.300 excuse me,

00:25:55.480 we know

00:25:57.180 why all the

00:25:58.200 drugs approved

00:25:58.780 are not

00:25:59.100 temporary,

00:25:59.720 temporarily

00:26:00.120 approved,

00:26:00.720 but permanently

00:26:01.240 approved?

00:26:03.860 Reads the

00:26:04.520 same,

00:26:04.900 forwards or

00:26:05.400 backwards.

00:26:06.360 Thank you

00:26:06.840 for putting

00:26:08.880 that in

00:26:09.240 there.

00:26:12.280 One of the

00:26:13.040 reasons that

00:26:13.640 climate science

00:26:14.400 is always

00:26:14.880 going to be

00:26:15.200 a big story

00:26:15.900 is, have I

00:26:18.060 told you to

00:26:18.700 follow the

00:26:19.140 money?

00:26:20.380 Now, there

00:26:21.760 are lots of

00:26:22.220 reasons that

00:26:22.760 climate change

00:26:23.580 should be a

00:26:24.780 big story.

00:26:25.300 The obvious

00:26:26.720 reasons, right?

00:26:27.520 Because the

00:26:28.780 scientific community

00:26:30.300 says the world

00:26:31.140 is in big

00:26:31.700 trouble.

00:26:32.760 So that's a

00:26:33.620 good reason for

00:26:34.240 a big story,

00:26:34.940 right?

00:26:35.720 But how many

00:26:36.620 other things

00:26:37.760 fall in this

00:26:38.440 category?

00:26:39.940 Wouldn't you

00:26:40.440 say that

00:26:41.800 there are many

00:26:42.400 stories that

00:26:43.080 you could put

00:26:43.580 into the

00:26:44.040 category of

00:26:44.900 the experts

00:26:45.920 say we're

00:26:46.460 in big

00:26:46.800 trouble?

00:26:48.320 Right?

00:26:48.980 There's all

00:26:49.340 kinds of

00:26:49.720 stuff that

00:26:50.700 the experts

00:26:51.200 say we're

00:26:51.660 in big

00:26:51.960 trouble.

00:26:52.660 We're going

00:26:52.940 to run out

00:26:53.340 of fertilizer

00:26:54.040 or something.

00:26:55.520 Phosphates

00:26:56.000 or some

00:26:56.420 damn thing.

00:26:58.100 Whatever it

00:26:58.780 is that they

00:26:59.160 put in

00:26:59.580 fertilizer.

00:27:01.400 So we

00:27:01.660 get all

00:27:01.940 these big

00:27:02.580 disasters,

00:27:03.400 but climate

00:27:03.900 change will

00:27:04.420 always get

00:27:04.900 the headlines,

00:27:06.080 and here's

00:27:06.520 why.

00:27:07.860 And the

00:27:08.200 answer is

00:27:08.860 obvious,

00:27:10.500 because it's

00:27:11.200 the easiest

00:27:11.640 thing to

00:27:12.060 write about.

00:27:13.320 So if you're

00:27:13.840 a journalist

00:27:14.300 and you

00:27:15.080 could do

00:27:15.460 hard work

00:27:16.300 and get

00:27:17.320 paid,

00:27:18.100 or you

00:27:18.760 could do

00:27:19.140 easy work

00:27:19.940 and get

00:27:21.220 paid,

00:27:22.100 which one

00:27:22.780 are you

00:27:22.940 going to

00:27:23.120 do?

00:27:24.140 Follow

00:27:24.580 the money.

00:27:25.000 People

00:27:25.360 are always

00:27:25.800 going to

00:27:26.040 do easy

00:27:26.560 work to

00:27:26.960 get paid

00:27:27.340 if they

00:27:27.760 have the

00:27:28.020 option.

00:27:29.280 And what

00:27:29.580 could be

00:27:29.880 easier than

00:27:30.440 looking out

00:27:30.920 of the

00:27:31.100 window and

00:27:31.580 saying,

00:27:32.740 it is

00:27:33.160 raining

00:27:33.520 really,

00:27:34.360 really hard.

00:27:36.420 Maybe it's

00:27:37.060 because of

00:27:37.440 climate change.

00:27:39.060 Experts

00:27:39.480 agree that

00:27:40.000 the weather

00:27:40.280 is getting

00:27:40.600 worse.

00:27:43.300 It's

00:27:43.740 literally the

00:27:44.320 easiest story

00:27:45.160 you could

00:27:45.480 write.

00:27:47.000 So you'll

00:27:47.980 always get

00:27:48.260 more of

00:27:48.600 those.

00:27:48.880 I saw

00:27:51.000 a poll

00:27:51.400 from

00:27:51.800 California

00:27:52.440 Insider,

00:27:53.020 I guess,

00:27:53.400 showing that

00:27:53.860 Larry Elder

00:27:54.340 is leading

00:27:55.060 in the

00:27:56.620 recall race

00:27:57.940 against

00:27:58.460 Gavin Newsom,

00:27:59.320 meaning that

00:28:00.280 as an

00:28:00.960 alternative to

00:28:01.800 Newsom,

00:28:02.880 he's getting

00:28:03.440 more votes

00:28:03.980 than the

00:28:04.320 other

00:28:04.560 alternatives.

00:28:05.360 So it's

00:28:05.620 just

00:28:05.820 combining.

00:28:06.800 I think

00:28:07.060 we're only

00:28:07.400 comparing the

00:28:07.880 alternatives,

00:28:08.620 not to

00:28:09.560 Newsom.

00:28:10.960 But

00:28:11.480 everybody's

00:28:12.620 only getting

00:28:12.980 small percentages

00:28:13.920 because it's

00:28:14.560 mostly unknowns

00:28:15.420 running against

00:28:17.000 Newsom.

00:28:18.180 But Larry

00:28:18.700 Elder's top 0.52

00:28:19.880 of the field

00:28:20.300 was 16%.

00:28:21.380 So this

00:28:23.820 could get

00:28:24.160 interesting.

00:28:26.020 I said

00:28:26.600 before,

00:28:27.700 I don't

00:28:28.820 know a ton

00:28:29.440 about Larry

00:28:30.040 Elder,

00:28:31.000 but from

00:28:31.540 what I can

00:28:32.080 deduce,

00:28:33.160 he has all

00:28:33.680 the tools.

00:28:35.000 I think he

00:28:35.420 has the

00:28:35.720 full tool

00:28:36.300 set.

00:28:37.560 So maybe,

00:28:39.140 maybe he

00:28:40.040 could pull

00:28:40.320 off a

00:28:40.600 surprise.

00:28:42.300 So in

00:28:43.120 the Olympics,

00:28:44.100 the Sweden

00:28:44.560 defeated

00:28:45.360 the U.S.

00:28:46.120 women's

00:28:46.620 soccer team,

00:28:48.020 and that

00:28:48.400 was a

00:28:48.720 surprise

00:28:49.040 because the

00:28:49.460 U.S.

00:28:49.760 women's

00:28:50.060 soccer team

00:28:50.580 hasn't lost

00:28:51.360 in two

00:28:51.740 years or

00:28:52.260 something.

00:28:53.580 They're like

00:28:54.320 crazy

00:28:55.280 dominant.

00:28:57.120 But Sweden

00:28:58.440 kicked their

00:28:59.000 asses 3-0.

00:29:01.260 And this

00:29:02.060 was, as

00:29:02.820 many noted,

00:29:03.660 after the

00:29:04.180 entire team

00:29:04.940 knelt to

00:29:07.380 Black Lives

00:29:08.220 Matter before

00:29:09.780 the game.

00:29:11.060 Now,

00:29:12.320 you've heard

00:29:13.120 from me

00:29:13.700 that kneeling

00:29:15.760 before a

00:29:16.400 competition,

00:29:17.260 if your

00:29:17.760 competition

00:29:18.360 is not

00:29:19.020 kneeling,

00:29:20.500 puts you

00:29:20.940 at a

00:29:21.180 disadvantage

00:29:21.660 because I

00:29:22.820 think your

00:29:23.400 physical

00:29:24.340 body

00:29:25.040 influences

00:29:26.980 your brain

00:29:27.740 in the same

00:29:28.280 way that

00:29:28.600 your brain

00:29:29.120 influences your

00:29:29.920 body.

00:29:30.400 It's a

00:29:30.720 two-way

00:29:31.160 situation.

00:29:32.520 So for

00:29:32.800 example,

00:29:33.280 if you

00:29:33.620 slump your

00:29:34.120 shoulders,

00:29:35.880 we already

00:29:36.800 know,

00:29:37.280 because when

00:29:37.640 people slump

00:29:38.380 their shoulders

00:29:38.840 looking at

00:29:39.280 their phone,

00:29:39.680 it changes

00:29:40.900 their body

00:29:41.420 chemistry,

00:29:42.160 it can

00:29:42.320 make them

00:29:42.860 in a less

00:29:43.960 good mood.

00:29:50.120 My

00:29:50.640 microphone

00:29:51.080 fell off.

00:29:52.000 Excuse me.

00:29:54.420 So, and

00:29:55.460 we've heard,

00:29:56.440 but there's

00:29:56.740 some controversy

00:29:57.460 about whether

00:29:58.000 this is true,

00:29:58.900 that if you

00:29:59.280 do the

00:29:59.580 victory pose,

00:30:01.060 you know,

00:30:01.320 you stand up

00:30:02.360 and you put

00:30:02.880 your arms up

00:30:03.540 like this,

00:30:04.120 like victory,

00:30:05.660 that it makes

00:30:06.120 your body

00:30:06.600 chemistry change

00:30:08.220 in a positive

00:30:08.740 way can put

00:30:09.360 you in a

00:30:09.660 good mood.

00:30:10.880 Now,

00:30:11.120 I've heard

00:30:11.380 some controversy

00:30:12.500 as to whether

00:30:13.040 that's true,

00:30:14.340 but I do

00:30:15.900 this all the

00:30:16.540 time,

00:30:17.380 like as an

00:30:17.960 experiment,

00:30:19.020 you have the

00:30:19.340 victory pose,

00:30:20.560 and I can tell

00:30:21.200 you I feel

00:30:21.680 better every

00:30:22.300 time,

00:30:22.700 and it's

00:30:22.920 immediate,

00:30:23.620 and I can

00:30:24.020 feel it.

00:30:24.600 Now,

00:30:24.800 is it a

00:30:25.260 placebo?

00:30:26.400 I don't

00:30:26.900 know,

00:30:27.980 but I'm

00:30:28.440 pretty sure

00:30:28.840 it works,

00:30:29.620 even as a

00:30:30.400 placebo.

00:30:31.760 So I don't

00:30:32.180 know why it

00:30:32.660 works,

00:30:33.040 but I definitely

00:30:33.580 get in a

00:30:33.980 better mood

00:30:34.400 if I change

00:30:35.000 my posture,

00:30:37.360 straighten my

00:30:37.900 shoulders,

00:30:38.740 these things

00:30:39.500 definitely change

00:30:40.840 how you feel.

00:30:42.060 So I have

00:30:42.560 speculated that

00:30:43.380 putting yourself

00:30:44.000 in the universal

00:30:45.040 position of

00:30:46.600 defeat and

00:30:47.420 submission,

00:30:48.500 which is

00:30:48.920 kneeling,

00:30:50.340 would have

00:30:51.280 some kind of

00:30:52.100 influence on

00:30:52.760 you as an

00:30:53.220 athlete that

00:30:53.880 would be

00:30:54.140 negative and

00:30:54.820 it would come

00:30:55.180 out in your

00:30:55.520 performance.

00:30:56.540 Now,

00:30:56.760 I don't know

00:30:57.140 if that's been

00:30:57.760 demonstrated yet

00:30:58.740 in any

00:30:59.080 scientifically

00:30:59.660 legitimate way,

00:31:01.640 but I still

00:31:02.300 think it's

00:31:03.520 obviously true

00:31:05.180 that it affects

00:31:05.920 performance.

00:31:06.440 as a

00:31:07.320 hypnotist,

00:31:08.480 I will

00:31:09.680 make this

00:31:10.120 statement.

00:31:11.080 I don't

00:31:11.340 have any

00:31:11.740 scientific

00:31:12.280 proof.

00:31:16.540 Say hi to

00:31:17.600 your nine-year-old

00:31:18.700 who's watching.

00:31:21.680 Hi.

00:31:23.080 Anyway,

00:31:24.880 so, but I

00:31:27.200 think that

00:31:27.780 could be

00:31:28.060 studied.

00:31:28.780 Anyway,

00:31:29.980 so the

00:31:32.020 January 6th

00:31:33.200 commission,

00:31:34.160 the idea that

00:31:34.860 Congress or the

00:31:35.820 House specifically

00:31:36.580 is going to

00:31:36.940 put together

00:31:37.380 a bipartisan

00:31:38.460 commission to

00:31:40.260 look into

00:31:40.800 the January

00:31:42.140 6th riot,

00:31:44.780 if you want

00:31:45.280 to call it

00:31:45.620 that,

00:31:45.860 at the

00:31:46.040 White House

00:31:46.380 or at

00:31:47.000 the Capitol.

00:31:50.580 And this

00:31:52.040 has been a

00:31:52.480 really interesting

00:31:53.160 chess game.

00:31:54.340 So the first

00:31:54.840 part of the

00:31:55.300 chess game is

00:31:56.020 that the

00:31:56.320 Democrats want 0.51

00:31:57.120 to have this

00:31:57.740 commission because

00:31:59.080 it keeps the

00:31:59.820 news on what

00:32:02.140 Trump did and

00:32:03.000 it can keep

00:32:03.520 him out of the

00:32:03.960 presidency.

00:32:04.400 It makes the

00:32:05.560 Republicans look

00:32:06.380 bad, they

00:32:07.660 figure.

00:32:08.780 So the first

00:32:09.620 move of the

00:32:10.100 chess game is

00:32:10.940 they say we've

00:32:11.560 got to have

00:32:11.920 this commission

00:32:12.540 and Pelosi

00:32:13.700 can make it

00:32:14.560 happen because

00:32:15.060 they've got the

00:32:15.460 majority.

00:32:16.620 Now here's the

00:32:17.100 second play.

00:32:18.500 The second play

00:32:19.300 is that Kevin

00:32:20.320 McCarthy,

00:32:21.640 a Republican,

00:32:23.560 decides who's

00:32:24.460 going to be put

00:32:25.020 on the committee

00:32:25.640 for his side.

00:32:27.160 And he picks

00:32:27.900 two people who

00:32:29.280 have to be

00:32:29.820 rejected,

00:32:31.420 Jim Jordan

00:32:32.040 and Jim

00:32:32.660 Banks because

00:32:33.420 both of them

00:32:34.100 had said

00:32:35.260 things somewhat

00:32:36.240 dismissive of

00:32:38.840 the problem I

00:32:39.660 think in the

00:32:40.480 Capitol riots

00:32:41.680 or supportive

00:32:43.040 of, actually I

00:32:45.120 think they both

00:32:45.960 said something

00:32:46.420 supportive of

00:32:47.360 Trump's baseless

00:32:48.300 claims of

00:32:49.040 election fraud

00:32:49.900 as CNN

00:32:51.000 says it,

00:32:52.380 likes to

00:32:53.260 phrase it.

00:32:54.420 So by

00:32:55.880 Kevin McCarthy

00:32:56.780 intentionally poison

00:32:58.780 pilling the

00:32:59.520 committee, it

00:33:01.260 caused Nancy

00:33:01.960 Pelosi to

00:33:02.620 say, no, I

00:33:03.960 reject them.

00:33:05.840 But it's

00:33:07.440 bipartisan.

00:33:08.900 And these are

00:33:09.820 the people that

00:33:10.640 the other side

00:33:11.400 wants as their

00:33:12.220 representatives.

00:33:13.840 So are you

00:33:14.820 being bipartisan

00:33:15.580 if you reject

00:33:16.640 the other side's

00:33:17.960 team?

00:33:19.280 You could reject

00:33:20.340 your own team,

00:33:21.600 but if you're

00:33:22.460 being bipartisan,

00:33:23.380 you can't reject

00:33:24.120 the other side's

00:33:24.880 team.

00:33:25.560 That's their

00:33:26.000 team.

00:33:27.340 And so McCarthy

00:33:28.140 quite cleverly

00:33:29.680 poison pills this

00:33:30.720 whole thing by

00:33:31.360 sending two

00:33:32.020 people that

00:33:32.500 have to be

00:33:33.000 rejected.

00:33:33.960 You figure,

00:33:34.780 right?

00:33:35.300 It was a

00:33:35.640 good play.

00:33:37.080 So sure

00:33:39.800 enough, Pelosi

00:33:40.900 rejects them.

00:33:42.380 And then Kevin

00:33:42.980 McCarthy, what's

00:33:43.940 his next play?

00:33:45.700 His next play

00:33:46.840 is to say the

00:33:48.180 whole thing is

00:33:48.740 illegitimate, so 0.87

00:33:50.060 all five of our

00:33:51.180 members are going

00:33:51.860 to be pulled

00:33:52.720 back.

00:33:54.120 So it gives

00:33:55.280 McCarthy this

00:33:56.340 really good

00:33:57.720 poison pill

00:33:58.880 delegitimacy play

00:34:00.400 where he can

00:34:01.560 say the whole

00:34:02.080 thing is not

00:34:02.680 bipartisan because

00:34:04.000 you rejected our

00:34:04.860 team.

00:34:05.920 But he made

00:34:06.600 sure that there

00:34:07.500 were people who

00:34:08.100 could be rejected.

00:34:09.520 It's pretty good.

00:34:11.160 So if you're sort

00:34:12.580 of seeing who's

00:34:13.920 playing the best

00:34:14.620 chess game, I

00:34:16.260 would say Pelosi

00:34:17.080 started strong

00:34:18.140 because it keeps

00:34:19.180 it in the news.

00:34:20.140 So she gets the 0.85

00:34:20.880 win for keeping

00:34:21.600 it in the news.

00:34:22.460 But McCarthy's

00:34:24.840 chess match

00:34:25.920 here, pretty

00:34:27.220 good.

00:34:28.400 Pretty good.

00:34:29.880 So who knows

00:34:31.300 what happens

00:34:31.740 next?

00:34:32.860 You know, we

00:34:33.160 don't, this is not

00:34:33.940 the end of the

00:34:34.440 game, so this

00:34:35.520 continues.

00:34:36.540 But as a chess

00:34:37.360 game, well

00:34:39.020 played.

00:34:39.500 Both sides,

00:34:40.520 well played.

00:34:41.580 This is fun to

00:34:42.360 watch because it

00:34:43.440 doesn't really have

00:34:43.980 any real meaning,

00:34:45.180 I don't think.

00:34:46.400 But the politics

00:34:47.860 of it are really

00:34:48.460 fun.

00:34:48.700 I guess Biden

00:34:51.020 actually got fact

00:34:51.900 checked by CNN

00:34:52.720 and badly because

00:34:54.520 Biden said in his

00:34:55.840 town hall, you're

00:34:57.040 not going to get

00:34:57.740 COVID if you get

00:34:58.600 these vaccinations.

00:35:00.540 And as we know,

00:35:02.460 you will get

00:35:03.340 sometimes COVID

00:35:05.320 if you have the

00:35:06.260 vaccinations.

00:35:07.980 But I think this

00:35:09.220 was the case, and

00:35:10.120 I'm going to use

00:35:10.900 the Trump on the

00:35:12.860 other foot standard,

00:35:14.460 which is if Trump

00:35:16.080 had said this,

00:35:16.940 would I have

00:35:18.760 defended Trump?

00:35:19.760 And the answer

00:35:20.080 is yes.

00:35:21.380 Because to me,

00:35:22.640 this looks more

00:35:23.280 like just getting

00:35:25.180 a word mixed up,

00:35:26.360 which is a

00:35:26.880 different problem.

00:35:28.240 I don't think

00:35:28.820 there's any chance

00:35:30.740 that Biden is

00:35:31.540 unaware that you

00:35:33.520 can still get

00:35:34.280 the COVID if you

00:35:35.880 have a vaccination.

00:35:37.260 So I don't think

00:35:38.040 that was that kind

00:35:39.160 of a problem.

00:35:40.120 But I'm speculating,

00:35:41.140 right?

00:35:41.680 I would say the

00:35:42.460 most likely

00:35:43.120 explanation is that

00:35:44.800 what he meant to

00:35:45.520 say is that you're

00:35:46.360 not going to

00:35:46.840 die if you

00:35:47.820 get the

00:35:48.080 vaccinations.

00:35:49.260 Now, that would

00:35:49.880 also be a little

00:35:50.700 bit of an

00:35:51.220 over a claim

00:35:51.980 because some

00:35:52.580 people will

00:35:53.540 in fact die

00:35:54.280 who are

00:35:55.120 vaccinated and

00:35:55.980 still got the

00:35:56.780 COVID.

00:35:58.480 But hardly any.

00:36:00.340 There's so few

00:36:01.360 people that if

00:36:03.660 he had said you're

00:36:04.380 not going to die

00:36:05.140 if you get these

00:36:05.760 vaccinations, I

00:36:07.040 would have said

00:36:07.440 that's fair enough

00:36:08.260 for a speaking

00:36:10.340 off the cuff

00:36:11.000 non-scientist to

00:36:12.560 say.

00:36:12.740 So I'm going to

00:36:14.040 defend Biden

00:36:14.880 from CNN's

00:36:16.920 fact check.

00:36:17.560 I'll bet you

00:36:17.780 never thought you'd

00:36:19.380 see that, right?

00:36:20.620 But I think CNN

00:36:22.200 is correct to

00:36:24.900 fact check him,

00:36:25.720 of course.

00:36:26.620 But I think they

00:36:27.900 should have given

00:36:28.320 a little bit

00:36:28.980 more thought to

00:36:32.200 why he was

00:36:33.140 wrong.

00:36:33.520 And it looks like

00:36:33.940 he just misplaced

00:36:34.980 a word.

00:36:35.880 That would be my

00:36:36.460 guess.

00:36:36.760 I doubt he

00:36:37.240 misunderstands

00:36:38.120 that.

00:36:41.100 Here's how to

00:36:41.800 spot a

00:36:42.560 COVID-iet.

00:36:44.080 That would be

00:36:44.860 somebody talking

00:36:45.920 about COVID who

00:36:46.760 is also an

00:36:47.440 idiot. 0.79

00:36:48.620 A COVID-iet.

00:36:52.560 Well, I'm

00:36:53.400 looking at

00:36:53.760 Sparky's comment

00:36:54.680 about January

00:36:55.520 6th being an

00:36:56.580 FBI false

00:36:57.440 flag.

00:36:58.220 I don't think

00:36:59.160 we're going to

00:36:59.540 find that.

00:37:01.220 I don't think

00:37:02.060 it's ruled out

00:37:02.880 in the sense

00:37:04.120 that I suppose

00:37:05.340 anything's possible.

00:37:06.800 But I'd be

00:37:07.380 really surprised

00:37:08.400 if the

00:37:09.700 January 6th

00:37:10.500 event was

00:37:11.660 anything but

00:37:13.160 what we think

00:37:13.740 it was.

00:37:14.760 It looks like

00:37:15.520 we know exactly

00:37:16.560 what it was.

00:37:17.700 I don't think

00:37:18.180 there are going

00:37:18.460 to be any

00:37:18.820 surprises.

00:37:19.860 Now, will

00:37:20.180 there be

00:37:20.520 informants and

00:37:21.380 FBI people

00:37:22.200 who were part

00:37:23.400 of it?

00:37:23.960 Did they act

00:37:24.800 like they were

00:37:25.400 promoting it

00:37:26.180 to be part of

00:37:26.940 the undercover?

00:37:27.700 Yeah, probably.

00:37:28.880 But I don't

00:37:29.220 think that made

00:37:29.840 the difference.

00:37:31.000 I think we'll

00:37:31.920 be surprised

00:37:32.880 if we find

00:37:34.660 any surprises.

00:37:35.340 All right,

00:37:37.520 here's how to

00:37:37.960 spot somebody

00:37:39.160 talking about

00:37:39.740 COVID who

00:37:40.380 is also an

00:37:41.420 idiot. 0.79

00:37:42.540 If somebody

00:37:43.440 talks in

00:37:44.020 certainty about

00:37:46.080 this is

00:37:46.860 definitely

00:37:47.240 riskier than

00:37:48.020 that, they

00:37:49.820 don't know

00:37:50.040 what they're

00:37:50.260 talking about

00:37:50.800 because we

00:37:51.640 can't really

00:37:52.180 estimate the

00:37:52.920 risks of

00:37:53.480 any of this

00:37:53.920 stuff, not

00:37:54.840 at this point.

00:37:56.560 And if

00:37:57.240 somebody leaves

00:37:57.880 out any of

00:37:58.720 the big

00:37:59.380 risks, then

00:38:00.920 you should not

00:38:01.800 take them

00:38:02.220 seriously.

00:38:02.680 For

00:38:04.580 example, if

00:38:05.240 somebody talks

00:38:05.720 about the

00:38:06.080 risk of

00:38:06.460 vaccination

00:38:07.040 versus not

00:38:07.820 vaccination, and

00:38:09.260 they don't

00:38:09.760 mention the

00:38:10.700 long-haul risk,

00:38:13.700 then I think

00:38:14.640 they're not

00:38:15.080 really, they

00:38:17.240 shouldn't be

00:38:17.560 taken seriously,

00:38:18.560 right?

00:38:19.200 Because if

00:38:20.080 you're ignoring

00:38:20.620 the long-haul as

00:38:21.720 part of your

00:38:22.120 decision-making,

00:38:23.640 you're probably

00:38:24.420 ignoring the

00:38:24.940 most important

00:38:25.520 part because

00:38:26.680 the risk of

00:38:27.240 the vaccination

00:38:27.880 and the risk

00:38:28.700 of dying from

00:38:29.380 COVID are both

00:38:30.240 about the same.

00:38:31.360 Zero.

00:38:31.720 So you

00:38:34.040 could just

00:38:34.360 round those

00:38:34.920 to zero and

00:38:36.840 then just

00:38:37.320 look at the

00:38:38.800 things that

00:38:39.220 are a real

00:38:40.260 risk, which

00:38:41.300 is long-haul

00:38:41.880 COVID.

00:38:43.300 So if

00:38:44.120 people don't

00:38:45.060 speak in

00:38:45.720 terms of

00:38:46.080 risk and

00:38:46.600 they leave

00:38:47.140 out the

00:38:47.880 biggest risk,

00:38:49.060 the long-haul,

00:38:50.500 they're just

00:38:50.960 not serious

00:38:51.480 people and

00:38:52.800 you shouldn't

00:38:53.220 take them

00:38:53.580 serious.

00:38:58.060 Somebody

00:38:58.620 says my

00:38:59.360 opinion.

00:38:59.820 what part

00:39:00.960 was my

00:39:01.580 opinion that

00:39:02.280 you disagree

00:39:02.840 with?

00:39:03.980 I don't

00:39:04.480 think there's

00:39:04.900 anything you

00:39:05.340 said there.

00:39:06.460 Now, how

00:39:07.500 many of you

00:39:08.060 are bothered

00:39:09.220 by the

00:39:10.980 Sean Hannity's

00:39:12.060 and anybody

00:39:12.760 else who's

00:39:14.080 telling you to

00:39:14.580 get vaccinated?

00:39:16.380 Does that

00:39:17.040 bother you?

00:39:18.660 That any,

00:39:19.720 let's say,

00:39:20.340 non-doctor

00:39:21.200 tells you to

00:39:22.720 get vaccinated?

00:39:25.500 I'm just

00:39:26.080 looking at your

00:39:26.640 comments.

00:39:27.100 I'm seeing

00:39:28.140 almost all

00:39:28.700 no's.

00:39:30.120 I see one

00:39:30.680 yes.

00:39:31.340 It's unethical.

00:39:32.260 Yes.

00:39:33.520 I see some

00:39:34.220 people, yeah,

00:39:34.960 I hate it.

00:39:36.260 Some of you

00:39:36.860 are bothered

00:39:37.240 by it.

00:39:38.400 Now, I

00:39:40.000 hope you

00:39:40.340 all remember

00:39:40.900 my take

00:39:41.440 on this.

00:39:42.500 My take

00:39:42.980 on vaccinations

00:39:43.740 for the

00:39:44.380 millionth time

00:39:45.020 is that I'm

00:39:46.200 not a

00:39:46.500 doctor, so

00:39:47.840 don't listen

00:39:48.300 to me.

00:39:49.500 The last

00:39:50.080 thing I'm

00:39:50.420 going to do

00:39:50.720 is tell you

00:39:51.140 to get a

00:39:51.520 vaccination.

00:39:53.080 That's up

00:39:53.700 to you.

00:39:54.820 You and

00:39:55.420 your doctor,

00:39:56.040 you work

00:39:56.380 that out.

00:39:57.780 Don't

00:39:58.300 come to

00:39:59.160 me for

00:39:59.500 your

00:39:59.680 vaccination

00:40:00.100 advice.

00:40:01.320 But,

00:40:02.000 that said,

00:40:03.400 I think

00:40:03.820 it's useful

00:40:04.320 for us

00:40:04.760 all to

00:40:05.120 talk about

00:40:05.520 the logic

00:40:06.040 of it

00:40:06.420 and the

00:40:06.680 risks and

00:40:07.300 to fully

00:40:08.400 understand

00:40:10.400 the whole

00:40:11.560 architecture

00:40:12.160 of the

00:40:12.540 decision,

00:40:13.680 but then

00:40:14.040 it's your

00:40:14.340 decision,

00:40:15.340 and yours

00:40:15.780 won't look

00:40:16.200 like mine,

00:40:16.780 and it

00:40:16.940 doesn't need

00:40:17.340 to.

00:40:18.560 So,

00:40:19.280 it is

00:40:21.100 now a

00:40:21.940 pandemic

00:40:23.300 of the

00:40:23.900 unvaccinated,

00:40:25.460 and if the

00:40:25.940 unvaccinated

00:40:26.680 want to

00:40:27.540 have a

00:40:29.400 pandemic

00:40:29.800 that doesn't

00:40:30.920 have much

00:40:31.320 effect on

00:40:31.820 me at

00:40:32.120 this point,

00:40:33.060 I'm okay

00:40:34.020 with that.

00:40:36.000 That's a

00:40:36.600 choice,

00:40:37.420 and it's

00:40:38.360 not irrational.

00:40:40.940 It's maybe

00:40:41.700 different than

00:40:42.220 I would

00:40:42.540 make,

00:40:43.300 but I'm

00:40:43.680 not going

00:40:43.960 to say

00:40:44.240 anybody's

00:40:44.740 an idiot

00:40:45.120 for making

00:40:45.540 that choice.

00:40:47.740 I think

00:40:48.460 reasonable

00:40:48.920 people can

00:40:49.520 come out

00:40:49.860 on this

00:40:50.160 in different

00:40:50.520 places.

00:40:50.900 So,

00:40:53.800 oh,

00:40:59.140 there's a

00:40:59.440 good

00:40:59.560 question.

00:41:00.020 Has

00:41:00.160 anybody

00:41:00.460 heard from

00:41:00.980 Ali

00:41:01.360 Alexander?

00:41:03.260 Is he

00:41:04.020 in hiding?

00:41:05.060 I don't

00:41:05.400 know.

00:41:06.260 I don't

00:41:06.860 know what

00:41:07.100 his situation

00:41:07.680 is.

00:41:08.760 He sort

00:41:09.400 of disappeared

00:41:10.000 and probably

00:41:10.580 had to.

00:41:11.980 All right,

00:41:12.640 that is all

00:41:13.460 for today.

00:41:14.460 I'm going

00:41:14.740 to say

00:41:14.980 goodbye to

00:41:15.620 YouTube,

00:41:16.520 and I'll

00:41:16.860 talk to

00:41:17.220 you tomorrow.

00:41:18.380 Well,

00:41:24.400 I love you.

00:41:26.280 go.

00:41:29.300 I love you.

00:41:30.560 I love you.

00:41:38.240 I love you.

00:41:39.460 I love you.

00:41:39.640 I love you.

00:41:42.660 I love you.

00:41:42.840 I love you.

00:41:43.100 I love you.

00:41:43.420 I love you.

00:41:43.720 I love you.

00:41:44.640 I love you.

00:41:44.680 I love you.
