Transcript

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.
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,
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,
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,
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
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,
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.
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
00:14:59.760 people can't
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?
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
00:18:02.360 people are
00:18:02.900 awesome.
00:18:04.240 The Chinese
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
00:41:19.040 we're
00:41:20.200 ì› .
00:41:21.220 I love you.

00:41:23.500 I love you.
00:41:24.400 I love you.
00:41:24.580 I hope you
00:41:25.140 let's let's
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.

00:41:43.420 I love you.
00:41:43.720 I love you.
00:41:44.640 I love you.
00:41:44.680 I love you.
00:41:45.200 I love you.
00:41:45.240 I love you.
00:41:46.780 I love you.
00:41:47.340 I love you.
00:41:47.540 I love нет.
00:41:47.620 I love you.
