Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1452 Scott Adams： Vaccine Bullies, Democrat Insurrectionists, Mask Leadership and Fear Mongers

00:00:00.000 Hello and good morning, everybody. How are you? Are you as happy as I am today?

00:00:14.580 No reason. No reason. I just got enough sleep and I'm looking at a very disturbing photo

00:00:21.460 picture on the locals right now. I've got two streams going. I'm trying to ignore

00:00:27.540 a pig in a thong on the other screen. Why'd you have to do that to me right in the beginning of the

00:00:37.720 show? All right. If you'd like to make this day special, all you need is a cup or mug or glass,

00:00:43.160 a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your

00:00:48.620 liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure. The dopamine of the day

00:00:55.300 thing makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. Happens now. Go.

00:01:07.140 I was asked this morning privately, how do you get your voice modulation so that you're not

00:01:15.040 monotone when you're doing stuff like this? And there was a huge problem for me

00:01:20.760 trying to get a little bit of variety in what I'm doing. And the problem is that there's an

00:01:29.040 illusion. When you're in front of people, you feel that you're modulating a lot. But when you play it

00:01:41.180 back, it's like, I am not actually modulating a lot. I certainly thought I did in my head, but in fact,

00:01:47.400 nothing happened. And the only solution I know is to, first of all, get more relaxed.

00:01:55.000 Because the more relaxed you are, the more natural variety just slips in. So practice helps. That makes

00:02:01.080 you relaxed. But on top of that, you have to play it back. And you have to learn that there's an

00:02:08.460 illusion that you think you're doing it, but you're not. And so you have to go way big.

00:02:13.200 And it's the same with public speaking. With public speaking, a lot of people feel like they

00:02:19.640 need to jump right into it, blah, blah, blah, blah, because they don't want the audience sitting

00:02:23.940 there bored. And the illusion in that case is that the audience's sense of time is similar to yours

00:02:30.720 on stage. But actually, your sense of time is all distorted once you get on stage. So you can

00:02:35.840 actually just take a breath. Just look at the audience. I used to do that when I did a lot of

00:02:41.780 public speaking. And once you realize the illusions of public presentation, then you have the mechanism

00:02:49.160 to work past them. So just play back your presentations, and you will see for yourself

00:02:55.040 that when you thought you were doing this, I think I'm doing this. I'm really modulating.

00:03:01.120 Sometimes I go down to a whisper, like Joe Biden. And sometimes I make a big deal. You think you're

00:03:07.440 doing that, but you're probably not. You've got to play it back and see for yourself. All right,

00:03:12.600 let's talk about all the things. The Rasmussen poll people did a poll in which they accidentally

00:03:20.140 found the exact number of idiots in the country. Now, it wasn't what they were trying to do.

00:03:27.180 The poll was about opioids and whether people thought the problem was getting better or worse

00:03:34.180 than how Biden was doing. 44% of likely voters said Biden was not doing enough about the opioid

00:03:41.200 problem. But here's where it got interesting. 40% of the respondents say the problem got worse.

00:03:49.540 Now, if you've looked at the data, it's unambiguous. The problem isn't just worse,

00:03:55.960 it's way worse. All right. So there's no question about it. They got worse. But only 40%

00:04:02.000 of respondents knew that. What? How is the opioid deaths not one of the top, I don't know,

00:04:11.100 10 stories in the country at least? And 40% is, that's it. Only 40% of voters know it's getting worse.

00:04:20.640 It's getting way worse. It's getting way worse. But here's the fun part. 11% say the problem got

00:04:31.240 better. What? What? And 18% said they're not sure. What? How could you not be sure that opioids have

00:04:45.160 gotten worse? Really? Let's add these together. The people who say the problem got better for opioid

00:04:53.000 deaths. And the 18% who aren't sure. Let's see. You add those together, 11 to 18, you get 29.

00:05:02.940 29% is the exact number of idiots in the country. Now, on most polling questions, it's an opinion,

00:05:13.200 right? But this isn't an opinion. This is just a hard, cold, well-known fact. Opioids are getting

00:05:23.000 worse. And still, what have I told you about the 25%, right? The magic 25% in any poll, something

00:05:32.820 around 25%, you know, in that 20 to 30% range, around 25% of the people are just absolute fucking 0.60

00:05:41.020 idiots on any question. But usually, it's a little disguised because it's opinion-y or maybe the data

00:05:49.460 is unclear. There's a controversy about how to measure stuff. None of that, none of that exists

00:05:58.720 for opioids. We know the data, and we know it's getting way worse. So if you're in the 29% who think

00:06:06.420 the problem got better or you're not sure, well, you're an idiot. You're an idiot. All right. 0.64

00:06:14.540 Do you know how hard it is to analyze anything with data and facts and reason? Let me give you

00:06:21.560 just an example of something you think would be pretty easy to analyze, right? Like the opioid thing.

00:06:28.000 But the opioid thing really stands alone as being easy to analyze. Almost nothing else is. Almost

00:06:35.780 everything else is more complicated than it looks. Here's an example. Did you know that, well, let me

00:06:41.680 ask you the question. Have home, is the cost of owning a home and home prices, have they gone up

00:06:50.440 in recent decades? What would you say? Has the cost of owning a home gone up in recent decades? Yes, yes,

00:07:00.820 of course. Obviously, yes, right? So that's easy to analyze, right? I don't think there could be

00:07:06.720 anything more obvious, 100% known to all people, that the cost of housing has gone up, except that it

00:07:15.800 hasn't. According to humanprogress.org, who tweets, the time, all right, so the price of U.S. homes per

00:07:28.200 square foot, which would be a good way to measure it, right? Because you don't want to compare a big

00:07:33.940 house to a small house, because obviously a big house costs more. So you want to compare it square

00:07:39.200 foot to square foot to square foot. If you do that, the cost of U.S. homes stayed about the same

00:07:46.880 from 1980 to 2020. Would you have known that? This seems to me like the most obvious fact that

00:07:57.820 house prices went up, like a lot. But no, because the other factor is that the average size of a

00:08:07.300 household decreased quite a bit. So although you've got two things happening, the size of the

00:08:13.820 house probably got bigger, but also there are fewer people in it. So if you were to measure this

00:08:20.280 correctly, the way an economist would, not the incorrect way you do by reading the newspaper,

00:08:28.120 but like an economist, you actually are measuring apples to apples. You would say, what's it cost

00:08:33.820 cost for one person for one square foot of home now and in the past? About the same. About the same.

00:08:46.780 Did you see that coming? The average person now has 55% more living space. So as soon as you get

00:08:57.500 it apples to apples, it just disappears. Now this is like just about every other economic analysis.

00:09:07.120 It's also just about every political analysis. That there's not just one way to do it. And that the

00:09:14.380 people who know how to do it correctly are so rare that I'd never even heard this until this tweet.

00:09:21.620 Now of course, what happens to the next person who tries to study this? Would they come up with the

00:09:26.320 same answer? Probably not. Because two different people are still going to analyze it differently.

00:09:33.080 So anytime you're believing that you really have a grasp on things, any big topic in the world,

00:09:39.180 because you understand the economics of it, you don't. You don't. What about the national debt?

00:09:47.880 You know the national debt is bad and all the money that's being pumped in that's going to cause

00:09:53.320 inflation. Because it's just obvious, right? Everybody knows it. There's no way it can't

00:09:58.020 happen. Except that maybe it won't. Oh, YouTube just disconnected. It's trying to reconnect.

00:10:09.580 Interesting. Let's see if it works. So my live stream, I know it's not my Wi-Fi because it's

00:10:16.280 working perfectly on locals. But YouTube just shit the bed. So it looks like YouTube's completely down.

00:10:27.080 Huh. Or at least it is for me. Well, one moment. Got you on YouTube. Can you see it right now?

00:10:35.940 Is there anybody who can go to YouTube and see me right now?

00:10:43.920 It's buffering. It's down. Some of you say you can see me. Nope. Okay. I was waiting for the no.

00:10:50.760 Let's kill YouTube and see if we can fire it back up.

00:10:57.320 So, oh, it looks like I can't even kill the stream. So there's some technical difficulty over

00:11:04.700 at YouTube. Well, oh, well. All right. Give me a moment. Let me see if I can reconnect here.

00:11:15.300 It looks, yeah, it looks like YouTube's just basically just, it's got COVID. I think YouTube

00:11:22.200 has COVID. Well, everything's working over here. So let's just do it over here.

00:11:30.980 So anyway, my point was, every time you think you understand the economics of something or even the

00:11:36.680 risk of something, you probably don't. And when I say probably 95% chance. So imagine going through

00:11:44.400 life thinking that the things you're sure about, you're also 95% chance that you're really wrong.

00:11:52.200 Like, way wrong.

00:11:57.980 All right. So moving on here. I've noticed that I never get accused of things that I've actually

00:12:08.520 done. I'm going to tie this back to something in a moment.

00:12:12.420 So here's a tweet from some rando Mr. Ballistic on Twitter today, was talking about me, you know,

00:12:21.980 replying to me. And he says, says the man who doesn't need or seemingly desire to leave his home.

00:12:28.960 So here's somebody who's blaming me or accusing me of not having a desire to leave my home,

00:12:38.100 because I'm so afraid of the coronavirus. What is the truth? Does that track? Would many of you agree

00:12:46.120 that I haven't left my home much? Well, here's the fact. I've traveled more miles on earth this year

00:12:54.160 than any other year of my life. This is the year I've traveled the most in terms of miles

00:13:01.160 of any time in my life. I went to Bora Bora, I went to Greece through Germany. I've never had two

00:13:10.120 international trips in the same year. This is by far the most I've ever traveled. But what do I get

00:13:17.340 accused of? Being a hermit and being afraid to go outside. I swear to God, all of the things people

00:13:25.500 accuse me of are things that don't happen in my personal life, my professional life. It's just

00:13:32.100 consistent. So I don't know how much this happens to other people, but it's my personal bane of

00:13:37.820 existence. Adam Dopamine alerted me to this story. Apparently there's a startup, well-funded with people

00:13:46.920 like Bezos and Gates are behind some of the funding, called Form Energy. And they've figured out

00:13:54.680 how to make batteries out of iron. Now why is this important? Well, two reasons. Number one,

00:14:01.740 iron is plentiful, so you don't have to get your rare earth materials. That's a big deal.

00:14:07.680 But although iron is too heavy to use as a battery in a device or a car, it might be exactly what you

00:14:14.420 need for your power grid. So in other words, you could put a bunch of iron-based batteries in your grid

00:14:24.300 and then suddenly your windmills and your solar power makes sense because you would have an

00:14:29.340 inexpensive, easily reproducible way to store the energy until it's dark and the wind isn't blowing.

00:14:35.620 So this is the sort of story that could change everything. It could change everything.

00:14:44.700 Let me just delete the YouTube thing and see if I can restart it. Yeah, it looks like YouTube is just

00:14:52.560 down. The app isn't even starting. Oh well. Somebody says iron rusts. Well, yeah, but maybe they have

00:15:00.940 some way to work that. I mean, I'm not sure that that makes a difference in this application.

00:15:10.020 All right. So this is a small piece of news because it's just one startup, but could easily

00:15:16.420 change the planet. This could have implications for really just everything. You know, our entire

00:15:23.060 power grid, energy, the cost of energy, you know, the competitiveness of countries, pollution, climate

00:15:30.460 change, politics. I mean, this is the kind, this is the kind of technology that could just change

00:15:38.120 politics. Like it changed everything. It's just one little startup trying to do this thing, but the

00:15:43.280 implications are vast. Let me ask you this. What is the pandemic plan? What, what is Joe Biden's plan

00:15:50.880 plan for getting us past the pandemic? Because I don't know it. Do you? Because what it looks like

00:15:58.240 we're doing doesn't have any chance of doing that. Because we can't really get everybody vaccinated.

00:16:04.800 Can't really get 90% vaccinated. You can try, you can try to force them, but it's the most heavily

00:16:10.240 armed country in the world. And a lot of people don't want to get vaccinated. From a practical

00:16:15.440 perspective, I don't think we can get there. I don't think persuasion will be fast enough and

00:16:22.640 strong enough to get to whatever Joe Biden thinks is the vaccination number. So if that's the strategy,

00:16:30.160 if that's the only plan is to get to 90% of vaccination or something near it, we don't have a

00:16:37.680 plan, do we? Because that's feels impossible. Now, I don't know how much, you know, pressure he can

00:16:45.120 put on people to get vaccinated. But I don't think it's gonna be that much. So it seems to me that the

00:16:52.160 default plan, you know, the plan that's the thing that's going to happen, whether you like it or not,

00:16:57.040 is that everybody has to get infected, including the vaccinated. So since we know that being vaccinated

00:17:04.320 doesn't stop you from getting infected entirely. And we know that you're not going to get that sick

00:17:10.240 if you get if you're vaccinated, in all likelihood. Isn't that the best thing? It isn't the real plan

00:17:17.840 to get as many people as possible, both vaccinated and infected. You got to have both. If you have them

00:17:25.760 vaccinated and not infected, they'll just get infected later. Right? So it seems to me that the only plan

00:17:33.760 here is to get everybody infected, and as many as possible vaccinated to reduce the load on the

00:17:40.720 healthcare system. So if the only reason that anybody's getting vaccinated, in terms of the

00:17:46.720 system, not in terms of the individual, but in terms of the larger plan, if the only reason to get

00:17:52.560 vaccinated is to reduce the load on the healthcare system, maybe that's good enough. I don't know.

00:18:00.640 Now, for me, the pandemic is over, except for the bad political implications of having to wear a mask

00:18:06.480 and stuff. But I'm not worried about anything in the pandemic. I'm not worried at all about getting

00:18:12.480 the virus, because my chance of having a problem with it is just so small, you know, having been

00:18:18.240 vaccinated. All right, here's a question. You know, I got mocked, was it a little over a year ago,

00:18:25.360 when I said that Republicans would be hunted if Biden won? What is happening to Tucker Carlson?

00:18:32.000 Is it my imagination, or is he literally, maybe this is figuratively, being hunted? There are

00:18:39.840 hashtags today about, you know, trying to get Tucker. There have been at least two viral videos of

00:18:45.840 individuals with phones accosting him in public, once at a fishing hole and once at the tackle store

00:18:53.040 or something. Might have even been the same day. I don't know. But if you look at how the media is

00:18:58.480 going after him, how individuals are going after him in public, and the hashtags, etc.,

00:19:05.040 I feel like he's being hunted. Now, there's a Rupar video, and I use this literally in this case.

00:19:13.040 You all know what a Rupar video is, right? This individual named Rupar, who has been accused of

00:19:21.600 showing video clips that are out of context. Now, he's showing another video of Tucker accusing

00:19:27.840 Fauci of creating the COVID. Now, if you show that without context, it sounds a little crazy.

00:19:37.120 But if you show it with the context, that the accusation is that Fauci was behind some funding

00:19:43.520 that went to gain a function that may have not been directly related to this COVID, but maybe

00:19:48.640 somehow in the big soup of things, some kind of connection. Locals is working fine, as far as I can

00:19:58.400 tell. Yeah. Rupar believed that, as a lot of people did, that Trump suggested drinking bleach,

00:20:10.480 which never happened, of course. All right. So here's my question on this. Is Tucker Carlson being

00:20:19.360 hunted? Do you think that that works? All right. Let's talk about Donna Brazile,

00:20:27.760 who famously fell for the fine people hoax, or at least pushed it. And now she's become some kind of a

00:20:35.840 horrible force for evil. Let me tell you what she said recently. If I can.

00:20:47.600 Damn it. Oh, here it is. Donna Brazile said in a tweet, we are facing a radically new threat in the

00:20:53.680 kinds of forces that combine to attack our government on January 6. The future of our democracy is on the

00:21:00.320 line. This assault was an attempt to overthrow the US government. Now, here's the thing.

00:21:08.720 We know it wasn't an attempt to overthrow the US government. Because if you want to overthrow a

00:21:13.680 government, you need to bring, you know, tanks and atomic bombs, and you have to have some plan,

00:21:20.240 or at least have heavy weapons or something. So it could not be more obvious

00:21:25.520 that there was no plan to take and hold the country with a bunch of people with, you know,

00:21:31.120 flags and selfies and, you know, some bear spray and clubs, right? That wasn't the plan. Certainly not

00:21:38.160 for most of the people there. Now, I'm not saying that some people there weren't crazy and thought it

00:21:43.120 would, they would overthrow the country, but not in any, any meaningful way. Was that ever a risk?

00:21:48.560 So when people like Donna Brazile, who, by the way, I've been a big fan of, you know, I like her on TV,

00:21:57.120 I think she's great, in terms of personality and stuff. But, you know, maybe I wake woke up cranky,

00:22:05.600 but when I see her spreading the big lie, you know, the insurrection, big lie. And all of us deplore

00:22:13.920 the violence. I've never heard anybody say otherwise. Right? We're all good people,

00:22:18.400 we deplore all the violence that happened on January 6. But calling it an insurrection

00:22:25.600 is an attempt to demonize Trump supporters. And I don't think you can, I don't think we can be soft

00:22:35.760 about how we feel about that. So let me just say it, Donna Brazile is a huge fucking piece of shit. 1.00

00:22:41.360 And I liked her before. But when you, when you tell this big a lie, you know, the big lie that

00:22:49.040 January 6 was an insurrection, you are going directly against the well being, the health and

00:22:56.640 the safety of the public. You are putting the health and safety of the public at risk,

00:23:02.080 far more than somebody not getting vaccinated, for example. I mean, this is directly calling for

00:23:08.240 a civil war, basically. Indirectly, I guess, but it has that effect. And so Donna Brazile has just 0.97

00:23:14.560 become a force for evil. Push at the, you know, the fine people hoax, pushes this hoax. And I don't

00:23:23.360 think you can, this is not a difference of opinion. Right? She's not giving you her, well,

00:23:29.680 the Democrats like some socialism. It's not about that. This is a person who is a huge

00:23:35.360 fucking piece of shit. Just a horrible person, just pure evil, and gets to be on TV saying something

00:23:44.560 that you would expect Hitler to say. Now, I'm very reserved, or at least I try to be,

00:23:53.040 when making a Hitler analogy. But if you're literally demonizing a group of people with words

00:23:59.040 that would put them in jail, if you believe them, you know, if you believe this was an erection,

00:24:04.880 an erection, if you believe it's an erection, if you believe it's an insurrection, let's try that,

00:24:12.720 then you would also believe those people should be jailed or, I don't know, executed, right? So this is

00:24:19.280 just the most completely corrupt, evil fucking take I've ever seen. I mean, really, Donna Brazile, 1.00

00:24:28.480 you should be ashamed of yourself. Just ashamed to be part of this. Just ashamed. I mean, I don't know

00:24:34.720 how you sleep with yourself. Anyway. So I'm putting a little, a little pushback there.

00:24:42.000 The worst take on the pandemic that I see is, I call this the most low value take on the pandemic,

00:24:50.320 is people are pretending to act confused about why the tactics have changed when the data changed.

00:24:59.200 Stop being confused about that. When the data changes, pretty typical for the strategy to change too.

00:25:06.800 So what do we know now that we didn't know in the beginning of the pandemic? Well,

00:25:12.720 all kinds of stuff, right? The data has changed. So if you see the tactics change,

00:25:19.600 there's a reason for it. Might be a bad reason. Like the new mask mandates are based on data

00:25:26.800 that's changing. I don't agree with the mandates, but at least you have to recognize that there's some

00:25:31.840 data that's different. I mean, you know, that has to be noted. All right. So the CDC says you should

00:25:39.600 still get a COVID vaccine, even if you've already had COVID. Now, I'm no medical expert, but I can tell

00:25:49.600 a gigantic pile of bullshit pretty easily. Let me give you another example. I'm not a doctor.

00:25:57.760 So no medical expertise here whatsoever. But if I came across a body that the head was severed from

00:26:08.000 the torso, could I, without any medical training at all, determine that the person was deceased? Or

00:26:17.200 would that be going too far? Would I be going into the medical field like, whoa, Scott, I don't think

00:26:25.040 you're a doctor. Just because the head is not connected to the torso, don't be jumping to your

00:26:31.520 layman conclusions that this person's dead. You need 16 years of medical training to make a

00:26:40.400 determination like that. That's what people are telling me. People keep telling me that I'm not an

00:26:47.280 expert. So therefore, I can't identify a two mile high pile of shit. Well, you're no expert. But I'm

00:26:56.000 looking at a two mile high pile of shit. Am I wrong about that? I mean, I don't know everything about the

00:27:03.760 field. But this little one thing I know, as I'm looking at it, gigantic pile of bullshit.

00:27:09.920 And what do people say? Scott, you're no expert. You're no expert. So here's what I know. And the CDC

00:27:21.760 went on and said, experts don't know how long you're protected from COVID after you recover.

00:27:27.680 Now, that's true. But our experience is that immunity is long lasting from everything else.

00:27:34.560 And we have no data to suggest that natural immunity won't be the best kind.

00:27:41.840 Probably it probably is. I mean, based on what we know, probably it's the best kind.

00:27:47.440 But the CDC, without new data, is saying that you should get vaccinated. Let me tell you what they

00:27:55.200 should say if they wanted to have any credibility. All right. CDC has lost their credibility. It's just

00:28:01.280 gone. It's not my fault. I'm just observing it. You can see it yourself. I hate it, because we need

00:28:07.920 them to be credible. But this ain't it. All right. This ain't it. Now, even if they're right,

00:28:14.640 and it would be unusual, if they were right about this specific thing, even if they're right that

00:28:19.680 natural immunity, this is the one time it doesn't work. You know, we found the one novel virus where

00:28:25.280 natural immunity is different than all the other things. Maybe. But it's unlikely. And there's no

00:28:31.040 data to suggest it. So how about this? If they wanted to be completely credible,

00:28:38.640 maybe they should say, you don't need a vaccination if you have immunity. But we're going to keep

00:28:45.120 tracking that. And if we see that people in general are losing their immunity, we're going to circle back

00:28:50.400 to that and tell you to get a vaccination, too. Now, I get it that it would be faster just to

00:28:56.880 vaccinate everybody, even if they're infected, just in case. But you're asking them to put a drug in

00:29:02.640 their body for a thing for which there is no indication that they need the drug. There might

00:29:08.320 be. I mean, later, there might be an indication, right? As their immunity wanes, maybe. But then you

00:29:14.400 do it. You don't do it because it might happen. You know, you don't get your you don't get a triple

00:29:21.120 bypass because you might have a problem. I mean, you'd have to actually identify the problem before

00:29:26.560 you did the operation. So the CDC is just totally fucked on this. I mean, they're just totally fucked

00:29:32.400 up. Right. If you're trying to preserve your credibility, and you really need to if you're the

00:29:36.880 CDC because you can't do anything without credibility. Right. You're useless. They got it.

00:29:42.640 You got to try a little bit to be credible. Try just a little bit to be frickin credible. And this isn't

00:29:48.640 it. This is just a pathetic failure. It's just pathetic, really. All right, here's an idea I was

00:29:55.840 just acquainted with today. Thank you, Raul. The 14th Amendment. Did you know what the 14th Amendment

00:30:05.280 says? It says that it can be used to borrow people from office if Congress basically says that they were

00:30:13.040 involved in an insurrection? What? Did you know that? Like, I just learned this today,

00:30:21.520 that apparently the 14th Amendment allows Congress and Congress alone, not the courts,

00:30:28.080 but Congress alone, to say that an insurrection has happened. You know, they can brand it an insurrection,

00:30:34.400 and then they can identify people that they say are part of it with no legal recourse. And if they have

00:30:42.560 enough votes, they can just say, oh, you were in an insurrection that you can never run for office.

00:30:48.640 Targeted at Trump, but of course, any Trump allies who are, you know, complicit. So it looks to me,

00:30:56.560 ironically, like Pelosi might be using the 14th Amendment to stage what? An insurrection. If this

00:31:09.680 actually happened, if Pelosi tried to use the 14th Amendment to, let's say, ban Trump or any of his

00:31:16.160 allies from running for office, or even remove somebody from office, if she tried to do that, 0.98

00:31:23.120 I would call that an insurrection. Because it would be an attempt to overthrow the will of the people,

00:31:29.200 the voted, you know, the people that they want to vote in. And it would be using an

00:31:35.520 an illegitimate means. Because you can call anything an insurrection. And this definitely wasn't one,

00:31:41.280 January 6. So if she were to push this argument to its conclusion, and actually, you know, ban Trump,

00:31:48.560 I would call that an insurrection. How would you not? It would be somebody trying to change the

00:31:56.320 government without the voting process. Now, of course, they would be using an existing constitutional

00:32:03.920 process, but illegitimately. If you illegitimately use the Constitution to change the nature of the

00:32:10.960 government, isn't that? That's an insurrection, right? So what would happen if the Democrats pushed

00:32:19.520 this line as far as they could, and then the Republicans ended up winning a sweeping majority

00:32:24.400 in both houses and later the presidency? Couldn't the Republicans use the same thing to get rid of 0.98

00:32:32.320 anybody who was in favor of using this to get rid of somebody else? I mean, how far does this go?

00:32:36.960 Can you just grab the gun and turn it around? I don't know. Well, now Congress is going to be

00:32:43.920 requiring, or already is, requiring masks for members of Congress. And I guess

00:32:52.560 Lauren Boebert, yeah, Lauren Boebert already tossed the mask back in the face of some 1.00

00:33:00.640 staffer. Now, I don't know if that literally happened, but we're speaking figuratively through

00:33:07.280 the mask back at her. And so here's the question. Will there be any real leaders?

00:33:16.320 Is there anybody in Congress who's just going to say, no, I'll take the penalty. I'm not going to wear

00:33:20.880 a mask. I'll come to work politely every day and have authorities take me out and find me or whatever.

00:33:28.480 Is anybody going to do that? Because, you know, it's not going to be very safe if only one or two

00:33:33.120 people do it. You know, you need sort of all the Republicans to do it. Could the Republicans just get

00:33:39.760 on a bus and drive to Texas so there's no quorum, so the infrastructure bill can't be voted on?

00:33:45.920 Is that a thing? Can they do that? I mean, just like the Texas Democrats left the state so there

00:33:52.400 would be no quorum and they couldn't have a vote on election stuff. Could the Republicans just

00:33:58.640 hypothetically say, we're just going to jump on a bus and get out of town until the mask requirement

00:34:04.880 goes away? I don't know. So I tend to like Lauren Boebert just because she's got Burt in the last 0.98

00:34:15.040 part of her name. So it's sort of a Dilbert, Dogbert, Boebert situation. So I like her for that. I don't

00:34:22.160 know about any of our other policies, but I like her last name. So I guess the Capitol Police have

00:34:29.040 been directed to arrest staff and visitors at Congress to comply with the mask mandates.

00:34:36.800 And, but for members, the people who are actually members of Congress, they advise not arresting,

00:34:44.400 but quote, reporting members to SAA for their failure to comply. Fuck that. Fuck that.

00:34:53.920 They're saying directly they're going to apply the law differently? Is that what this is telling me?

00:35:00.000 Yeah. Where's, where's your equal treatment? Right. Fuck that. You either arrest every 0.94

00:35:05.440 fucking person or you don't arrest anybody. You asshole, Nancy Pelosi. This is not cool.

00:35:14.800 You've got to arrest them all or don't arrest any of them. Just period. We can't stand for that.

00:35:21.120 You know, this is the fucking United States. You treat them all the same or fuck you.

00:35:26.240 All right. You got to pay for that. And you're doing it right in front of us.

00:35:32.480 Don't do it right in front of us. All right. Fucking piece of shit.

00:35:41.440 All right. How many of you have seen Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of at least, or co-inventor,

00:35:48.640 I don't know. So he's listed as an inventor of the mRNA vaccine technologies. And he's a

00:35:55.440 vaccinologist, I think. So about the highest level of expert you could get.

00:36:01.040 Now I saw him on Bannon's podcast. And then I saw a title that this is fake news, by the way.

00:36:09.280 So the, this section is fake news. So the fake news is that there was a tweet going around and

00:36:15.600 there was a video on rumble and it was titled as if Dr. Robert Malone had said this, it was titled

00:36:22.720 the vaccine causes the virus to be more dangerous. How many of you believe that Dr. Robert Malone

00:36:31.440 is telling the world that the vaccine causes the virus to be more dangerous? Real news or fake news?

00:36:39.440 He did not. Right. It's fake news. And he said so himself. So he tweeted that this was fake news.

00:36:45.440 Here's what he did say. And I'm going to remove all the smart parts. So I'm going to remove all the

00:36:53.360 scientific talk. I'm going to give it to you in a dumb person talk. There is exactly one study

00:37:05.520 that shows an indication that you should check the blood of a number of people to make sure it's not

00:37:12.880 making things worse. Right? So there's one study that he hasn't looked at, you know, personally,

00:37:18.800 he's just heard about, read about it, that has a suggestion that there's an indication

00:37:25.040 in a very unreliable way, something about, you know, virus in the nose or something. And if you

00:37:30.960 don't test it in the blood, you can't know for sure if what you're finding in the nose in one study,

00:37:37.920 that he hasn't looked that, if the one study is sort of a sort of a flag that you should check

00:37:44.160 further. That's all he said. There's a flag here that you need to check further, because if it's

00:37:52.000 the worst case scenario, you would find it in the blood. And you could do that. It's a very,

00:37:56.720 it's a very practical thing to do. And it's expensive and hard, but it's practical, you can do it. So

00:38:04.480 yes, thank you, the blood titers, T-I-T-E-R. So there's nose titers and blood titers, and I don't know what

00:38:12.320 the titers are. But if they're not tight enough, you got to tighten your titers. See, practically an

00:38:19.120 expert. All right. Yeah. So just beware that there is at least one very qualified person who says,

00:38:30.880 maybe we got a gigantic problem on our hands. But that's not confirmed. It's not even close to

00:38:37.520 confirmed. It's just a really smart person who's smelling it early and telling us, let's check this.

00:38:44.240 You got to check this. So just think of this in terms of something that might be a problem that you

00:38:48.640 need to check. If you said to me, Scott, what is the track record of experts saying something might be

00:38:55.840 a problem? Even very qualified people, something might be a problem, but we better check it. How often

00:39:02.880 do you check it? And you find, indeed, it is the worst case scenario? Well, I don't know. How would

00:39:09.600 you know? But yeah, I'm seeing in the comments, somebody says one in 10. That feels right, right?

00:39:17.200 I don't know that that's right. But if you ask me after a lifetime of just existing in the world,

00:39:23.520 and sort of, you know, breathing these situations, one chance in 10, he's right. But remember,

00:39:30.640 if there's a one in 10 chance he's right, you got to fucking check the blood. Because if he's right,

00:39:37.360 it's the worst case scenario. It's like really, really bad. So, I mean, Dr. Malone, I think,

00:39:43.920 is doing a valuable public service. And I honor him for doing that. But even he says he can't be sure.

00:39:52.720 So, don't go further than he's saying. All right. That is some of the most interesting

00:40:00.240 thing that's happening today. Let's see if I missed anything in my poorly delivered notes.

00:40:06.720 I think I got it all. That means it's time to do something else. So, thank you for watching.

00:40:14.080 I don't know what happened to YouTube, but at least we've got this here. I did open the subscription

00:40:21.120 gate so that everybody can see this particular video, but not necessarily other things that are

00:40:26.800 on Locals behind the paywall. All right. And that is what I have for today. Now, let me ask you this.

00:40:34.880 I know you hate the mask content, but it's somewhat unavoidable, wouldn't you say?

00:40:43.120 Isn't it pretty unavoidable? Because really, we're talking about the legal part. We're talking

00:40:47.760 about the logic of it, the science, etc. Yeah. Now, like I said, you know, I'm an anti-masker

00:40:56.320 for the vaccinated, even though I know the Delta variant and even though I know I could get it.

00:41:02.400 But at this point, I want it. Is that irrational? Is it irrational for me to say that

00:41:08.640 being fully vaccinated with the Moderna vaccination, is it irrational for me to

00:41:13.520 say that I want to catch the virus? Because the sooner the better. Nobody has a plan for me not to

00:41:19.440 get it. Is that fair to say? Is it fair to say nobody has a plan, there's nothing being implemented

00:41:26.240 now that could stop me from getting it. So let's just get it over with. I'm vaccinated. My vaccination

00:41:33.280 rate is at the strongest point right now, because it's fairly fresh. So if I'm going to get the virus,

00:41:40.640 I don't want it now. Am I wrong? Because I'm going to get it. I don't want to get it when my

00:41:46.640 vaccination has worn off. Do I? You know, the worst time to get it would be right before you got a booster

00:41:52.160 shot. And I don't even know if the Moderna people are going to need that. But. 0.97

00:41:58.320 You know, I've heard I don't know if this is confirmed, but they used to have chicken pox parties 0.97

00:42:03.760 where the kids with chicken pox would all hang out together so they could just freaking get the

00:42:08.240 chicken pox and get it over with. And I feel like at least for the vaccinated, the recently vaccinated,

00:42:14.560 the people whose vaccinations are fresh. I feel like I should be swimming in COVID right now 0.82

00:42:20.240 for my health, for my long term benefit. I should be swimming in COVID. So I should take my mask off.

00:42:28.960 Shouldn't I? Well, now that I'd be more spready. So I guess that there's two ways to look at that.

00:42:34.800 All right. I think all this stuff is kind of interesting, especially in the psychological part of

00:42:40.480 it. But if if the mask content, it just becomes impossible to handle anymore. I'll back off it.

00:42:48.800 All right. That's all for now. Talk to you tomorrow.
