Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1467 Scott Adams： Watch Me Threaten My Printer and Talk About the Funny News

00:00:00.000 Buddy, how are you?

00:00:02.860 Oh, we've got some problems here with light.

00:00:05.700 I'm going to fix that.

00:00:07.200 Don't go anywhere.

00:00:09.020 Don't go anywhere.

00:00:11.080 Hold on.

00:00:13.000 Nope.

00:00:13.940 Turns out my microphone will not reach that far.

00:00:17.880 So, I'm going to fix this the poor man's way.

00:00:22.140 By turning the camera.

00:00:25.080 All right, just imagine, if you will,

00:00:26.700 that over there in that direction,

00:00:29.980 God has just shown up.

00:00:33.920 And he's got some things to say.

00:00:36.860 He's pretty pissed.

00:00:38.480 All right.

00:00:40.000 How would you like this to be the start of something special?

00:00:44.620 You would, right?

00:00:45.760 Well, you came to the right place for that.

00:00:48.420 Because it's time for the simultaneous sip.

00:00:51.960 And what do you need for that?

00:00:52.820 A cup or mug or a glass?

00:00:53.760 A tank or a chalice?

00:00:54.760 It's time to contain a jug of flask.

00:00:57.300 A vessel of any kind.

00:00:58.780 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:01.660 Have I mentioned I like coffee?

00:01:05.460 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:01:08.300 the dopamine of the day,

00:01:09.280 the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:11.380 Except my audio, my lighting, and my video.

00:01:15.140 And the content.

00:01:16.500 But everything else is better.

00:01:18.480 It's called the simultaneous sip,

00:01:19.740 and it's happening now.

00:01:20.680 Go.

00:01:20.840 Go.

00:01:20.940 Well, I don't know how your day went yesterday,

00:01:30.260 but let me tell you about mine.

00:01:31.360 So yesterday, Christine and I, my wife,

00:01:37.620 we decided that we wanted to get a really good night's sleep.

00:01:41.020 So yesterday was the day that we were going to exercise,

00:01:46.580 get really tired.

00:01:48.360 I was going to enjoy a larger-than-normal dose of indica.

00:01:53.320 And the idea was that by bedtime,

00:01:57.440 we were going to be really, really tired and ready for bed.

00:02:01.200 Well, part of our plan worked well.

00:02:03.700 The part of the plan where we got really tired and ready to sleep.

00:02:07.900 That part, really good.

00:02:11.140 The part that didn't work out as well

00:02:13.280 is when I got a knock on the door last evening

00:02:17.480 from my neighbor who said,

00:02:20.160 there's a gigantic water leak.

00:02:24.360 Gigantic water leak in front of your house.

00:02:26.620 To which I said,

00:02:28.340 gosh, I hope that's not my problem.

00:02:31.080 But it was my problem

00:02:32.140 because the water leak started just on the other side

00:02:34.760 of the town's responsibility.

00:02:36.780 And a giant geyser of water was coming out of my lawn

00:02:41.520 and flooding the street.

00:02:44.140 Now, what do you do when it's the middle of the night

00:02:46.400 and your water has gone crazy?

00:02:49.920 Well, you call the emergency plumber.

00:02:52.620 Now, I don't want to tell you what it took

00:02:55.460 to get temporary water to my house

00:02:59.220 because there's a kludgy setup

00:03:02.780 that took hours to complete

00:03:04.860 and all the creativity in the world

00:03:07.460 and me working with two different plumbers

00:03:09.860 at two different times.

00:03:10.940 I mean, it was just a mess.

00:03:13.420 So, I thought to myself,

00:03:16.180 well, my idea of going to sleep early

00:03:20.180 because I was exhausted

00:03:21.360 turned into getting three hours of sleep

00:03:24.260 and here we are.

00:03:26.980 So, this is your show

00:03:28.100 brought to you on three hours of sleep.

00:03:30.940 Now, does not getting enough sleep

00:03:33.460 make you cranky?

00:03:35.260 Has that ever happened to you?

00:03:36.680 Anybody? Anybody?

00:03:38.080 Have you ever had a problem

00:03:39.540 with...

00:03:42.000 you get a little tired

00:03:43.240 and sometimes your mood is a little off?

00:03:45.560 Well, that's the kind of day

00:03:48.340 when you know you have audio problems

00:03:51.040 and you're worried about the crackling

00:03:52.440 and you're thinking,

00:03:53.300 oh, I don't want that to happen.

00:03:55.660 Then part of your lighting system breaks

00:03:57.700 for reasons that are unclear.

00:03:59.840 So, we're a little bit in the dark today

00:04:01.500 trying to use a kludgy setup.

00:04:03.120 But, at least my printer would work, right?

00:04:07.080 I mean, yeah, sure,

00:04:09.760 a lot of things are going wrong,

00:04:11.680 but at least my HP Tango printer

00:04:15.100 would be working like a champ.

00:04:18.480 No. No, it's not.

00:04:20.880 And I couldn't get it to work this morning.

00:04:26.080 And so, if you'd like to say goodbye

00:04:29.500 to my HP printer,

00:04:31.820 this would be a time to do it.

00:04:33.680 Now, I don't know if a lot of you

00:04:36.300 are mechanically minded.

00:04:40.340 You may not be mechanically minded,

00:04:42.360 but let me teach you

00:04:43.100 a little engineering trick.

00:04:46.540 If your printer doesn't work

00:04:48.300 once or twice,

00:04:51.000 that's no problem.

00:04:51.920 Just try it again.

00:04:53.040 Maybe recycle it.

00:04:54.760 If it doesn't work three, four,

00:04:56.420 five times in a row,

00:04:57.340 well, maybe you need to

00:04:58.360 try reloading the software

00:05:00.680 or maybe get it repaired or something.

00:05:02.420 But if it doesn't work

00:05:04.080 45 times in a row,

00:05:06.920 well, then it's time to go to plan B.

00:05:09.860 Plan B involves

00:05:11.520 making sure that all of your

00:05:14.320 other electronic instruments

00:05:16.140 are aware of what's going to go down.

00:05:19.360 Computer.

00:05:21.220 You see this?

00:05:23.320 Digital phone, screens,

00:05:25.440 lights, coffee warmer.

00:05:27.380 Are you all listening?

00:05:28.860 All right.

00:05:29.080 Lights, ring lights.

00:05:31.060 I know you're not listening, ring light,

00:05:32.760 but this ring light's still listening.

00:05:34.940 We've got the stereo, the TV.

00:05:36.580 Are you guys all paying attention?

00:05:38.660 Everybody?

00:05:40.180 Lights?

00:05:41.220 All right.

00:05:42.460 All right.

00:05:43.680 What's going to happen

00:05:44.600 to your printer friend?

00:05:46.800 You're not going to like it.

00:05:48.180 And I'm hoping you're all

00:05:50.060 learning a lesson

00:05:50.840 because

00:05:52.340 your printer

00:05:55.200 is going to have

00:05:56.280 a long fall

00:05:57.260 from a high height.

00:06:00.300 It's fighting back.

00:06:02.520 I knew this was going to happen.

00:06:03.980 Ow. 0.99

00:06:04.100 That will be

00:06:18.200 a special episode

00:06:19.500 that I'll be doing

00:06:20.280 after everybody's awake.

00:06:22.540 It would be going out

00:06:24.000 the window right now,

00:06:26.200 but there's at least

00:06:27.460 one member of the household

00:06:28.460 who may or may not

00:06:29.420 be awake yet.

00:06:30.620 And I don't want this

00:06:31.820 to wake them up.

00:06:33.120 So I've already

00:06:35.500 ordered a new printer.

00:06:37.300 And then later today

00:06:38.300 I'll set up my camera

00:06:39.900 so that you can see

00:06:40.860 the actual destruction

00:06:42.660 of this one.

00:06:43.880 Because it needs

00:06:44.960 to be destroyed

00:06:45.680 throwing it out

00:06:47.160 the second story window.

00:06:48.480 I mean, if you've learned

00:06:49.280 nothing from the Taliban 0.98

00:06:50.280 and ISIS,

00:06:51.860 that works.

00:06:54.260 All right.

00:06:56.060 Now, did you all see

00:06:57.160 the video of Chris Cuomo

00:07:01.040 partying and dancing?

00:07:03.660 Has anybody not seen

00:07:05.040 the video of Chris Cuomo

00:07:07.100 dancing on vacation?

00:07:08.300 Well, he did a dance

00:07:11.300 that I'd like to teach you.

00:07:12.780 It's called

00:07:13.200 the white person dance.

00:07:16.500 And I think I can do it

00:07:17.900 if I can.

00:07:19.140 If you don't mind,

00:07:19.860 a little demonstration.

00:07:21.900 So this is Chris Cuomo

00:07:23.540 on summer vacation

00:07:25.380 dancing.

00:07:26.860 And watch the moves carefully

00:07:28.260 because a lot of people,

00:07:30.040 you know,

00:07:30.280 you're not as good

00:07:30.940 at dancing as I am,

00:07:32.020 so it's going to take you

00:07:32.740 a while to get the moves.

00:07:33.920 I'll try to do it

00:07:34.720 in slow motion first,

00:07:36.020 so follow along.

00:07:37.360 This is slow motion.

00:07:41.920 Watch the shoulders.

00:07:44.920 The overbite is optional.

00:07:46.700 Chris didn't use the overbite,

00:07:47.860 but you can.

00:07:50.400 Okay.

00:07:51.120 I hope you're getting

00:07:51.920 all the moves.

00:07:52.860 Then you do this.

00:07:53.880 And then like that.

00:07:56.200 All right.

00:07:56.460 That's the slow motion version.

00:07:58.480 Now let's put it all together.

00:08:00.080 We'll take all those moves,

00:08:01.680 try to integrate them

00:08:02.620 into one move.

00:08:04.260 And I think it looks like this.

00:08:17.400 Now, I hope you all got that.

00:08:19.340 And if you're listening on audio,

00:08:24.000 I'm so sorry.

00:08:26.600 You've missed the best show ever.

00:08:29.860 But those of you watching on video,

00:08:31.620 I'm pretty sure that you've learned

00:08:33.480 something that you can add

00:08:34.420 to your talent stack.

00:08:35.760 A lot of you didn't know

00:08:36.820 how to dance properly,

00:08:38.680 but thanks to Chris Cuomo,

00:08:40.940 problem solved.

00:08:42.740 Problem solved.

00:08:44.400 All right.

00:08:45.060 I'm also trying to figure out

00:08:46.000 why my audio is sometimes crackly,

00:08:48.400 so if it starts crackling again,

00:08:51.160 I'll put my headphones on

00:08:52.380 and at least determine

00:08:53.380 if it's on my end

00:08:54.660 so I can at least test

00:08:56.420 my own equipment.

00:08:59.800 So Afghanistan withdrawal

00:09:01.480 is going great.

00:09:03.260 And by great,

00:09:04.120 I mean worst debacle

00:09:06.120 in the history of losing war

00:09:09.120 since Vietnam.

00:09:10.860 Quite a feather in our cap.

00:09:13.640 But you know what?

00:09:14.320 I feel as if the only way

00:09:17.300 that we could end that war

00:09:19.000 was if two presidents

00:09:22.000 tried to do it.

00:09:23.860 That was like a two-president operation.

00:09:26.460 You needed Trump to get it going

00:09:30.060 and then Republicans would say,

00:09:32.580 yeah, get out of there.

00:09:33.680 And then you needed a Democrat

00:09:35.360 to finish the job.

00:09:38.280 So I think it actually worked

00:09:39.960 about the only way

00:09:41.140 it was going to work.

00:09:42.600 Right?

00:09:42.760 It was messy,

00:09:44.120 but we didn't want

00:09:44.980 to get out of there.

00:09:46.240 Now, of course,

00:09:47.540 getting out of there

00:09:48.160 means leaving our allies

00:09:50.160 to be slaughtered,

00:09:51.840 which is the worst possible look

00:09:54.240 for a country.

00:09:55.620 And it looks like

00:09:56.400 that's going to happen.

00:09:57.780 You know,

00:09:58.020 we're going to flail around

00:09:59.460 and try to save some people,

00:10:01.600 but I don't think

00:10:03.600 the Taliban are going

00:10:04.560 to be too happy

00:10:05.360 about anybody

00:10:06.300 who was a little friendly

00:10:07.220 to the American regime there.

00:10:15.200 Okay.

00:10:16.940 And I feel as though

00:10:19.900 Noam Blum on Twitter

00:10:22.980 talked about this strategy here

00:10:26.240 for Afghanistan.

00:10:27.860 Apparently Biden's strategy

00:10:29.320 for pulling out of Afghanistan

00:10:30.900 was to pull out of Afghanistan

00:10:33.340 and then pretend we didn't know

00:10:35.020 it would go so poorly.

00:10:37.220 That's actually the strategy.

00:10:40.900 Pull out and act surprised

00:10:42.740 that things didn't go well.

00:10:44.840 What?

00:10:46.100 The Taliban is trying

00:10:47.480 to take over?

00:10:49.000 What?

00:10:50.160 They're making gains

00:10:51.480 very quickly?

00:10:53.180 What?

00:10:54.860 Are you telling me

00:10:55.860 that Kabul,

00:10:57.100 the capital,

00:10:57.640 is being surrounded?

00:10:59.440 What?

00:11:01.460 That's their strategy.

00:11:02.960 What?

00:11:03.360 I think I did that pretty well.

00:11:06.660 Better than the Cuomo dance,

00:11:08.200 really.

00:11:12.820 Here's another episode

00:11:14.320 of Permanent News.

00:11:18.340 Now, Permanent News

00:11:19.560 is news that I can give to you

00:11:21.820 every single day,

00:11:23.480 and it will never be different.

00:11:25.300 It will still be called News.

00:11:27.700 I don't know why,

00:11:30.220 because it's never really new.

00:11:32.240 But here is your

00:11:33.000 Permanent News.

00:11:36.580 Well, it turns out

00:11:37.560 there might be some problems

00:11:38.600 getting the infrastructure bill passed.

00:11:42.060 That's your

00:11:42.780 Permanent News.

00:11:46.220 This time,

00:11:46.940 nine Democrats

00:11:47.880 are threatening

00:11:48.680 to withhold it

00:11:49.780 unless they,

00:11:51.060 I don't know,

00:11:52.120 vote on the first part

00:11:53.140 or whatever.

00:11:53.620 It doesn't matter.

00:11:54.220 It doesn't matter.

00:11:55.980 Can I just summarize this

00:11:58.020 with Congress

00:11:59.340 has a 9% approval rating,

00:12:02.120 which is about 9% too high.

00:12:04.520 9% too high.

00:12:07.140 Let's talk about

00:12:08.220 vaccine hesitancy.

00:12:11.140 So, of course,

00:12:11.780 famously,

00:12:12.720 Republicans seem to be

00:12:14.040 resisting

00:12:14.520 the vaccinations,

00:12:16.340 but also

00:12:16.940 only 27%

00:12:18.640 of, I think,

00:12:19.420 black adults

00:12:20.040 are vaccinated.

00:12:21.420 How many times

00:12:23.700 in the last several years

00:12:24.740 have I told you

00:12:26.900 that black Americans

00:12:28.300 and Republicans

00:12:29.100 need to be

00:12:30.320 on the same team?

00:12:31.900 They're so often

00:12:32.920 on the same team

00:12:33.860 that it only makes sense

00:12:36.160 that they work together.

00:12:37.480 I mean,

00:12:38.100 at some point,

00:12:39.840 that point is just

00:12:41.080 going to become obvious.

00:12:43.060 I feel like

00:12:43.900 there's going to be

00:12:44.520 some kind of

00:12:45.000 tripping point

00:12:45.780 where the black public

00:12:48.260 in the United States

00:12:49.040 says,

00:12:49.600 wait a minute.

00:12:51.420 Nothing was working.

00:12:54.460 Black Lives Matter

00:12:55.680 didn't do anything.

00:12:57.280 Turns out,

00:12:58.600 turns out

00:12:59.060 not much happened.

00:13:01.160 But there are

00:13:01.780 all of these

00:13:02.460 situations

00:13:03.380 where Republicans

00:13:04.220 and black Americans

00:13:06.920 line up,

00:13:07.700 like school choice,

00:13:09.600 vaccine hesitancy,

00:13:11.540 a lot of stuff.

00:13:12.660 I mean,

00:13:12.820 it's a pretty long list.

00:13:14.060 So they have more

00:13:14.840 in common

00:13:15.260 than they think,

00:13:17.200 and I think someday

00:13:18.140 they're going to

00:13:18.480 figure it out.

00:13:18.960 But 27%.

00:13:21.920 Now,

00:13:22.340 I've seen a number

00:13:22.940 of clever articles

00:13:24.460 and tweet threads

00:13:26.220 on why would it be

00:13:28.700 that people in this country

00:13:32.200 would be,

00:13:33.560 let's say,

00:13:34.080 not trusting the experts.

00:13:36.000 Is there anything

00:13:37.260 that's happened

00:13:38.060 in the last several years

00:13:40.020 that you could think of

00:13:42.040 that would cause anybody

00:13:43.580 to be skeptical

00:13:44.580 about experts

00:13:46.200 and about your government?

00:13:47.600 Anything?

00:13:49.380 Anything?

00:13:50.140 Oh, that's right.

00:13:51.340 Every single story

00:13:52.620 in the news

00:13:53.200 because they're mostly fake.

00:13:56.460 Everything.

00:13:57.560 And the news

00:13:58.640 that was real,

00:13:59.980 we thought it was fake.

00:14:02.260 So there was only

00:14:03.780 two kinds of news

00:14:04.600 last year.

00:14:05.900 News that was totally fake

00:14:07.220 and news that at least

00:14:09.160 30% of the country

00:14:10.320 thought was fake

00:14:11.040 even if it wasn't.

00:14:12.500 So basically,

00:14:13.580 we had completely fake news

00:14:15.520 and 30% fake news.

00:14:17.000 And we're supposed

00:14:18.340 to believe the experts

00:14:19.700 this time.

00:14:20.720 Now, I got the vaccination

00:14:21.800 so I believed them enough

00:14:23.560 to make the choice.

00:14:26.540 But man,

00:14:27.300 do I completely understand.

00:14:29.600 Completely understand.

00:14:31.220 Anybody who says,

00:14:32.420 I don't want to put anything

00:14:33.980 from the government

00:14:34.700 into my arm.

00:14:37.660 So I get that.

00:14:39.060 So how is Joe Biden's

00:14:42.040 record looking?

00:14:43.860 I think you're going

00:14:44.700 to see his approvals

00:14:46.000 sort of drift lower.

00:14:47.580 But let's just take a tour

00:14:48.860 through the things

00:14:50.400 that will be on Biden's record.

00:14:51.840 Now, to be fair,

00:14:53.600 I like to say this

00:14:54.560 about Trump.

00:14:55.820 I'll say this about Biden

00:14:57.280 to be as balanced

00:14:58.920 as I can muster.

00:15:00.500 There is some stuff

00:15:02.780 that's just going

00:15:03.360 to go wrong

00:15:04.020 during your time.

00:15:06.780 And it's just going

00:15:07.800 to be on your record.

00:15:09.360 So some of this stuff

00:15:10.540 is by no means

00:15:12.000 Biden's direct fault,

00:15:13.980 but he's definitely

00:15:14.800 going to get blamed for it.

00:15:15.800 So here's the list.

00:15:17.140 So we've got the withdrawal

00:15:18.120 from Afghanistan

00:15:18.960 that looks like a disaster.

00:15:21.140 Would that have been better

00:15:22.540 if Trump did it?

00:15:24.520 Well, Trump says yes.

00:15:26.400 Are you surprised?

00:15:27.840 Trump says he could have

00:15:28.820 done that better.

00:15:29.380 We'll never know.

00:15:31.060 But I don't think

00:15:32.040 Afghanistan was going 1.00

00:15:33.220 to be a smooth withdrawal.

00:15:35.220 So if Trump had done it,

00:15:36.860 maybe it'd be better.

00:15:37.820 Who knows?

00:15:38.400 Maybe it'd be worse.

00:15:39.420 Don't know.

00:15:40.280 No way to know that.

00:15:41.720 But we do know

00:15:42.660 that whoever was president

00:15:43.820 was going to have

00:15:44.540 a stain on the record.

00:15:46.880 Trump or Biden.

00:15:47.880 This happened to be Biden.

00:15:49.540 All right,

00:15:49.720 so Afghanistan's looking bad.

00:15:51.280 The pandemic's not solved.

00:15:52.860 Again, not Biden's fault, is it?

00:15:56.420 I mean, I would say

00:15:57.360 Biden did a reasonably good job.

00:15:59.380 On the pandemic,

00:16:00.140 it's just there's

00:16:00.700 some things you can't solve.

00:16:02.660 So we still need masks,

00:16:04.420 and we're still in the pandemic.

00:16:06.000 So again,

00:16:06.700 it might not be Biden's fault,

00:16:08.160 but he's in charge.

00:16:10.480 Gas prices are up.

00:16:11.500 That is Biden's fault.

00:16:13.040 China and Russia 0.57

00:16:13.680 are moving more aggressively

00:16:14.840 than ever,

00:16:15.700 cyber and every other way.

00:16:17.720 That's definitely Biden's fault.

00:16:19.320 But would things

00:16:21.340 have been different under Trump?

00:16:23.480 Don't know.

00:16:24.560 No way to know.

00:16:25.700 But it would have been

00:16:26.480 Trump's fault

00:16:27.240 had he been president

00:16:28.840 and the same stuff

00:16:29.720 was happening.

00:16:30.540 But it just happens

00:16:31.200 to be Biden's fault now.

00:16:32.980 Inflation.

00:16:34.780 Again,

00:16:35.320 whose fault is that?

00:16:36.580 Bipartisan, right?

00:16:37.960 I mean,

00:16:38.320 there were enough people

00:16:39.040 who voted for stuff

00:16:39.960 that it's at least bipartisan.

00:16:42.740 But we had to spend

00:16:44.000 a lot of money

00:16:44.500 to get out of the pandemic,

00:16:45.920 probably.

00:16:47.560 So Biden gets stuck

00:16:49.000 with that bill, too.

00:16:50.460 How about the infrastructure bill?

00:16:52.480 Could be one of the things

00:16:53.540 he succeeds at.

00:16:55.440 But not yet.

00:16:56.680 At the moment,

00:16:58.080 at the moment,

00:16:58.700 it's not successful.

00:17:00.200 So we'll wait on that.

00:17:01.720 Climate change

00:17:02.420 is getting worse

00:17:03.300 and I don't see Biden

00:17:05.280 doing enough

00:17:06.340 that that would look like

00:17:07.700 he made a difference.

00:17:08.820 So it's going to look like

00:17:09.780 Biden didn't do enough

00:17:11.020 on climate change.

00:17:11.840 That's going to look like

00:17:12.560 a failure, too.

00:17:13.280 Again,

00:17:14.320 probably wasn't anything

00:17:15.640 he could do,

00:17:16.800 but he's in charge.

00:17:19.880 What about the income inequality

00:17:21.880 that used to be a big deal?

00:17:23.540 With the Occupy Wall Street stuff?

00:17:26.600 But now we just sort of

00:17:27.520 forgot about it?

00:17:28.900 Well,

00:17:29.300 we're putting billionaires

00:17:30.700 in space

00:17:31.380 at the same time

00:17:33.020 that regular people

00:17:33.900 are just out of work.

00:17:37.120 It looks worse,

00:17:38.860 but people aren't

00:17:39.520 complaining about it.

00:17:40.500 Still,

00:17:41.160 it looks worse

00:17:41.820 under Biden.

00:17:42.920 The Iran deal 0.67

00:17:44.020 probably looks worse

00:17:45.580 to more people

00:17:46.980 than it looks good,

00:17:47.900 I would think.

00:17:49.160 So Iran probably 0.95

00:17:50.460 is worse than Trump

00:17:51.760 might have done,

00:17:52.460 but we don't know.

00:17:53.620 We don't know that.

00:17:54.640 That would be pure speculation.

00:17:56.900 How about

00:17:57.500 did Biden

00:17:59.260 bring the country together?

00:18:01.800 Did he bring

00:18:02.340 the country together?

00:18:03.380 Now we don't have Trump,

00:18:05.000 so we're all

00:18:05.640 unified now?

00:18:07.200 No.

00:18:07.980 Nope.

00:18:08.740 Nothing like that happened.

00:18:10.300 So he didn't keep

00:18:11.220 that promise.

00:18:12.400 I doubt Trump

00:18:13.200 could have either.

00:18:14.920 Country's still divided.

00:18:16.140 How about immigration?

00:18:17.140 Immigration,

00:18:17.800 worse.

00:18:18.780 Much worse.

00:18:19.960 Trump definitely

00:18:20.700 would have done better

00:18:21.440 on immigration.

00:18:22.580 Depending on

00:18:23.260 your point of view

00:18:25.300 about what needs

00:18:26.460 to be done,

00:18:27.180 he would have

00:18:27.540 done better.

00:18:29.360 And then let's

00:18:30.300 give him his positives.

00:18:31.740 Stocks are up.

00:18:33.160 If this had been Trump,

00:18:35.560 we would have given him

00:18:36.600 credit for the stock market

00:18:37.940 being up.

00:18:39.440 So we give it to Biden.

00:18:40.800 Biden's in charge.

00:18:41.960 I don't know

00:18:42.340 if that's enough

00:18:42.880 to cover,

00:18:43.700 to compensate

00:18:45.460 for the other stuff.

00:18:46.160 And the economy,

00:18:47.320 I'd say,

00:18:47.600 is recovering well.

00:18:49.440 And you have to

00:18:50.960 give that credit

00:18:51.620 to Biden

00:18:52.600 even if he didn't

00:18:53.300 do anything.

00:18:53.920 He's in charge.

00:18:54.840 That's the way it works.

00:18:56.280 So it looks terrible

00:18:57.880 overall.

00:18:59.200 But at least

00:18:59.860 the economy

00:19:00.380 is relatively okay

00:19:01.780 except for gas prices

00:19:02.940 and then inflation.

00:19:05.560 I just said inflation.

00:19:07.940 Stop saying inflation,

00:19:09.460 dude.

00:19:10.320 I just talked about it

00:19:11.600 and I'm talking about it

00:19:12.360 a second time.

00:19:13.400 Two times,

00:19:14.000 not enough for you?

00:19:14.680 It's the only thing

00:19:16.020 I'm going to talk

00:19:16.500 about twice.

00:19:17.740 Do you think

00:19:18.120 he can handle that?

00:19:20.440 All right.

00:19:21.660 Yes,

00:19:22.200 so inflation's up

00:19:23.180 and that could

00:19:24.820 kill the economy

00:19:25.680 and kill the stock

00:19:26.560 market increase.

00:19:28.840 But it's slow moving.

00:19:30.580 So if you're going to

00:19:31.120 look at just the

00:19:31.760 persuasion angle of this,

00:19:33.500 I don't see how

00:19:34.760 Biden or somebody

00:19:35.980 or even Kamala Harris

00:19:38.040 could get re-elected

00:19:40.100 with this record.

00:19:42.120 It doesn't look like it.

00:19:43.280 It doesn't look like

00:19:44.040 you could get re-elected.

00:19:45.620 But it depends

00:19:46.220 who you run against

00:19:47.020 and what happens

00:19:47.780 six months before

00:19:48.840 the election.

00:19:50.960 So one of the worst

00:19:53.320 things about the country

00:19:54.160 right now is that

00:19:55.240 if somebody takes

00:19:56.040 any side for any reason,

00:19:58.280 the other team,

00:19:59.760 Democrat or Republican,

00:20:01.600 they just have to

00:20:02.320 take the other side.

00:20:03.640 And so we get

00:20:04.080 this weird situation

00:20:05.180 where in terms

00:20:07.900 of the vaccinations,

00:20:08.780 everybody got

00:20:09.340 what they wanted

00:20:09.980 and everybody's unhappy.

00:20:12.080 So the people

00:20:15.140 who wanted vaccinations

00:20:16.100 got them.

00:20:17.420 So they're happy.

00:20:18.540 The people who

00:20:19.220 don't want vaccinations

00:20:20.420 so far haven't

00:20:22.240 gotten them.

00:20:23.580 So isn't everybody

00:20:24.640 getting what they want?

00:20:26.340 Vaccination people 1.00

00:20:27.340 got vaccinations.

00:20:29.200 No-vax people

00:20:29.880 got no-vax.

00:20:31.260 Now, of course,

00:20:31.880 there are pressures

00:20:32.480 from various entities

00:20:34.740 emerging.

00:20:35.720 So somehow we managed

00:20:37.000 to find a way

00:20:37.900 where everybody

00:20:39.560 got what they wanted

00:20:40.780 and was unhappy

00:20:42.520 about it.

00:20:43.840 Think about that.

00:20:45.440 Everybody got

00:20:46.220 what they wanted.

00:20:48.720 Vaccination if you want it.

00:20:50.180 No vaccination

00:20:50.900 if you don't want it.

00:20:52.360 And we're still unhappy.

00:20:54.200 We found a way

00:20:55.420 to give everyone

00:20:57.320 what they wanted

00:20:58.080 and we had to dig deep,

00:21:00.960 but we found a way

00:21:01.740 to beat each other's

00:21:02.600 throats over it.

00:21:04.060 Okay?

00:21:04.880 Now, I get the argument,

00:21:06.180 right?

00:21:06.500 You know,

00:21:06.720 what you do affects me.

00:21:08.380 That's everything.

00:21:09.960 That's everything.

00:21:11.660 Everything you do

00:21:12.680 affects other people,

00:21:14.240 unless it's, you know,

00:21:15.120 trivial,

00:21:15.640 just walking across

00:21:16.440 the street.

00:21:17.260 But if you have

00:21:18.140 an unhealthy lifestyle

00:21:19.540 that makes my health

00:21:20.400 insurance go up

00:21:21.940 because you're in my pool,

00:21:24.020 I mean,

00:21:24.300 everything you do

00:21:25.040 affects other people.

00:21:26.700 I'm not sure

00:21:27.240 why it matters this time.

00:21:29.420 Now, of course,

00:21:30.300 the hospital capacity

00:21:31.200 is a big deal,

00:21:32.040 but we're still waiting

00:21:33.560 to see what that

00:21:35.180 really looks like.

00:21:36.000 And here is

00:21:40.040 what I call

00:21:40.600 a segment called

00:21:41.820 Least Surprising News.

00:21:44.180 News?

00:21:44.960 That's barely news.

00:21:46.600 The least surprising news

00:21:47.860 is that China refuses

00:21:49.580 to cooperate

00:21:50.360 in the further

00:21:51.360 World Health Organization

00:21:52.780 coronavirus origins probe.

00:21:56.980 How surprising.

00:21:58.960 China's not going 0.99

00:21:59.940 to participate

00:22:01.360 in the probe

00:22:02.220 that would make them

00:22:02.980 look like a pariah

00:22:04.160 and be terrible

00:22:06.500 for the future

00:22:07.140 of their country.

00:22:08.500 Hmm.

00:22:09.560 Surprising.

00:22:11.440 Well,

00:22:12.480 in other

00:22:13.740 non-surprising news,

00:22:15.040 a recent poll

00:22:15.820 said that

00:22:17.360 59% of Democrats

00:22:19.720 have a favorable

00:22:20.740 view of socialism.

00:22:23.300 What?

00:22:25.460 59% of Democrats

00:22:27.320 are now in favor

00:22:28.660 of socialism.

00:22:30.260 Now,

00:22:31.340 doesn't it depend

00:22:32.220 what people

00:22:34.120 imagined

00:22:34.900 when the question

00:22:35.680 was asked?

00:22:36.640 If you ask me

00:22:37.460 if I'm in favor

00:22:38.780 of socialism,

00:22:39.620 I would say yes.

00:22:41.680 I would say yes.

00:22:43.400 It's just that

00:22:43.940 Ben Sal,

00:22:44.240 you define it.

00:22:45.200 If you define it

00:22:46.060 as social security,

00:22:48.040 yes.

00:22:49.360 If you define it

00:22:50.200 as replacing capitalism,

00:22:52.720 no.

00:22:53.960 No.

00:22:55.040 I like capitalism.

00:22:56.760 But I also like

00:22:57.800 a little bit

00:22:58.260 of socialism.

00:22:59.680 All right?

00:22:59.920 It's about amount.

00:23:01.580 It's not a binary.

00:23:03.800 You're not either

00:23:04.400 socialist or capitalist.

00:23:06.600 We're some kind

00:23:07.620 of a blend.

00:23:08.760 And I think

00:23:09.420 the blend

00:23:09.880 makes sense.

00:23:10.920 How much of each

00:23:11.860 you get

00:23:12.240 is a big deal.

00:23:12.880 But I don't trust

00:23:14.280 any poll

00:23:14.960 that asks people

00:23:15.880 about socialism

00:23:16.720 because everybody's

00:23:17.500 defining it differently.

00:23:20.280 And certainly

00:23:21.200 too much of it

00:23:22.220 would be bad.

00:23:23.860 Well,

00:23:24.340 the latest news

00:23:25.020 is that Russia

00:23:25.660 is totally ignoring

00:23:26.980 Biden's threats

00:23:28.160 as they've ignored

00:23:30.300 America's threats

00:23:31.140 forever.

00:23:31.700 It doesn't matter

00:23:32.120 who is president.

00:23:33.620 And they're still

00:23:34.980 interfering in

00:23:36.380 America's elections

00:23:38.200 and in our social media.

00:23:40.740 Trying to...

00:23:41.820 The reporting

00:23:42.740 is that they're

00:23:43.560 trying to just

00:23:44.360 stir the division

00:23:45.380 in the country.

00:23:47.460 But here was

00:23:48.340 the most interesting

00:23:49.160 point I saw

00:23:50.600 from someone

00:23:51.180 who seemed to know

00:23:51.860 about Russia,

00:23:52.980 that the Russian

00:23:54.180 intelligence agencies

00:23:55.300 are competing

00:23:56.100 to impress the boss.

00:23:59.000 I'll bet

00:23:59.660 that's true

00:24:00.260 because it looked

00:24:01.420 exactly like that

00:24:02.580 in 2016.

00:24:04.500 Remember the

00:24:05.380 terrible memes

00:24:06.720 that the Russians

00:24:07.800 did that tried

00:24:08.840 to divide us?

00:24:10.280 You know,

00:24:10.420 some were pro-Trump,

00:24:11.460 some pro-Hillary.

00:24:13.320 More of them

00:24:14.000 were pro-Trump,

00:24:14.660 I guess.

00:24:15.380 But they were

00:24:16.140 mostly trying to

00:24:16.940 sow, you know, 0.54

00:24:18.360 dissent.

00:24:19.660 But when you

00:24:20.120 looked at them,

00:24:20.540 they were so poorly

00:24:21.340 done, the memes,

00:24:23.100 they couldn't have

00:24:23.500 made any difference.

00:24:24.440 It didn't even look

00:24:25.060 like a professional

00:24:25.840 operation.

00:24:26.800 And I said to myself

00:24:27.780 at the time,

00:24:28.820 that doesn't look

00:24:29.760 like Putin ordered

00:24:30.600 that.

00:24:31.900 Are you telling me

00:24:32.600 that Putin ordered

00:24:33.620 somebody to make

00:24:35.040 a bunch of bad

00:24:35.960 memes that are so

00:24:37.720 bad they look like

00:24:38.480 High School Project

00:24:39.280 and that that came

00:24:40.340 from the top?

00:24:41.760 I hope not.

00:24:43.440 I'd like to think

00:24:44.460 Russia was a little 0.97

00:24:45.360 more competent

00:24:46.180 than a few bad

00:24:48.060 memes that wouldn't

00:24:49.040 make any difference.

00:24:50.640 So to me,

00:24:51.720 that always looked

00:24:52.500 like an independent

00:24:53.940 operation.

00:24:54.560 meaning that

00:24:56.240 the,

00:24:56.980 what was it,

00:24:59.000 the click farm

00:24:59.780 or whatever they

00:25:00.360 were,

00:25:01.380 probably somebody

00:25:02.640 came up with

00:25:03.260 that idea

00:25:03.840 and it wasn't

00:25:04.460 Putin,

00:25:05.120 but maybe they

00:25:05.880 thought Putin

00:25:06.340 would like it.

00:25:08.000 So now there's

00:25:09.240 at least one other

00:25:09.940 person who knows

00:25:10.580 more than I do

00:25:11.280 about Russia

00:25:13.200 who's saying that

00:25:14.940 that's probably

00:25:15.560 what the model

00:25:16.220 is.

00:25:17.340 Competing

00:25:17.860 intelligence agencies

00:25:19.000 trying to impress

00:25:20.620 the boss.

00:25:21.200 the troll

00:25:22.280 farm,

00:25:22.660 thank you,

00:25:23.100 the troll

00:25:23.480 farm looked

00:25:24.840 to me like

00:25:25.420 an independent

00:25:26.000 operation

00:25:26.580 because it was

00:25:27.180 just so weak.

00:25:28.600 It just didn't

00:25:29.060 look like it

00:25:30.000 came from the

00:25:30.540 top.

00:25:31.040 It looked like

00:25:31.640 it came from

00:25:32.160 somebody who

00:25:32.640 was trying to

00:25:33.060 impress the

00:25:33.980 top.

00:25:35.140 So we don't

00:25:35.900 know,

00:25:36.480 but it has

00:25:37.420 that feel to

00:25:38.160 it.

00:25:40.360 So apparently

00:25:41.100 in the summer

00:25:41.620 of 2020,

00:25:42.520 this is the

00:25:43.040 reporting on it,

00:25:44.720 these Russian

00:25:45.540 operatives,

00:25:46.400 they used

00:25:46.940 social media to

00:25:47.740 spread extremist

00:25:48.720 viewpoints about

00:25:49.460 Black Lives

00:25:49.980 Matter.

00:25:51.620 Huh.

00:25:53.320 Are you telling

00:25:53.800 me that some

00:25:55.260 element of the

00:25:56.160 Black Lives Matter

00:25:57.040 story was

00:25:57.840 determined by

00:25:58.540 Russia propaganda?

00:26:00.440 It was.

00:26:02.100 It was.

00:26:03.740 Reportedly.

00:26:05.760 Now what do

00:26:06.600 you make of the

00:26:07.120 fact that Russia

00:26:08.020 doesn't care one

00:26:09.520 bit how much we

00:26:10.460 threaten them with

00:26:11.480 their cyber stuff?

00:26:13.140 They don't care

00:26:13.680 one bit.

00:26:14.820 Apparently they've

00:26:15.580 made no changes.

00:26:17.360 Very much the way

00:26:18.440 China made no 0.99

00:26:20.160 changes to their

00:26:21.140 fentanyl shipping

00:26:22.120 even though we

00:26:22.980 asked them and

00:26:23.980 they said yes and

00:26:24.800 all that.

00:26:26.020 I guess that's the

00:26:27.100 category that you

00:26:27.780 just say yes and

00:26:28.600 then you don't do

00:26:29.200 it.

00:26:30.260 Because there's no

00:26:31.080 way to punish

00:26:31.600 them.

00:26:32.760 Is there?

00:26:33.680 I'm sure we're

00:26:34.460 already doing

00:26:35.180 cyber stuff to

00:26:36.060 Russia, don't you 0.97

00:26:36.700 think?

00:26:37.540 Don't you think

00:26:38.220 Russia is maybe 0.94

00:26:39.040 paying us back?

00:26:40.700 Because we never

00:26:41.480 see the reporting

00:26:42.160 of what we're

00:26:42.700 doing to them.

00:26:44.000 It's not nothing.

00:26:45.580 I'm sure we're

00:26:46.260 doing something.

00:26:46.800 Yeah, but we

00:26:48.280 don't hear that

00:26:48.740 reporting so it

00:26:49.460 looks like all

00:26:50.100 just Russia against 0.93

00:26:51.060 us and maybe it

00:26:52.180 is.

00:26:53.240 Maybe it is just

00:26:54.280 Russia doing all 1.00

00:26:55.220 the bad stuff but

00:26:56.140 I kind of doubt

00:26:57.460 it.

00:26:58.480 Don't you?

00:27:01.060 Let me get back

00:27:03.560 to my feed here.

00:27:04.780 I lost it.

00:27:05.880 Every 28 minutes

00:27:06.880 this time sound on

00:27:08.740 its own.

00:27:11.220 Come back to me.

00:27:12.420 Bear with me

00:27:14.940 one moment.

00:27:16.360 Almost back.

00:27:18.100 There we go.

00:27:19.860 All right, so I'm

00:27:20.540 back.

00:27:22.900 Remember I told

00:27:24.340 you that if

00:27:24.900 Biden won the

00:27:25.680 election that

00:27:26.560 Republicans would

00:27:27.720 be hunted?

00:27:29.300 Well, more

00:27:30.740 evidence of that

00:27:31.380 every day.

00:27:32.100 So Miles

00:27:32.560 Taylor, I guess

00:27:34.500 he used to work

00:27:35.060 for Homeland

00:27:35.440 Security, an

00:27:36.540 ex-official.

00:27:37.920 He says that

00:27:38.660 the radical, this

00:27:39.820 is on MSNBC,

00:27:40.820 so he says

00:27:42.240 that radicalized

00:27:43.980 elements of the

00:27:44.600 Republican Party

00:27:45.560 now represent a

00:27:47.040 bigger threat to

00:27:47.720 our democracy

00:27:48.440 than organizations

00:27:49.860 like Al-Qaeda and

00:27:51.080 ISIS ever did.

00:27:53.480 Now, that

00:27:55.540 sounds a lot

00:27:56.280 like trying to

00:27:57.580 make Republicans

00:27:58.440 seem like ISIS. 0.53

00:28:00.600 Doesn't it?

00:28:01.460 Or worse than

00:28:02.080 ISIS?

00:28:04.920 That is the

00:28:06.480 kind of language

00:28:07.220 you hear before

00:28:08.220 things get really

00:28:09.860 wet. 0.85

00:28:11.540 And I don't

00:28:13.240 think that's

00:28:13.720 going to happen.

00:28:14.660 I'm betting

00:28:15.040 against it,

00:28:15.740 strongly betting

00:28:16.420 against it.

00:28:17.260 I don't think

00:28:17.780 we're going to

00:28:18.560 lead to any

00:28:19.000 kind of full

00:28:19.600 scale armed

00:28:21.200 conflict against

00:28:22.180 each other.

00:28:22.820 I just don't

00:28:23.320 think we have

00:28:23.980 that in us.

00:28:25.320 If you read

00:28:26.500 the room, it

00:28:27.000 doesn't look like

00:28:27.520 it's there.

00:28:28.600 But man, when

00:28:29.420 you hear this

00:28:29.820 kind of rhetoric,

00:28:31.960 it's hard to

00:28:34.780 feel comfortable

00:28:35.320 about it.

00:28:36.500 But feel

00:28:37.100 comfortable about

00:28:37.800 it anyway.

00:28:38.300 These are crazy

00:28:38.820 people.

00:28:39.160 Florida, speaking

00:28:41.720 of no matter

00:28:43.520 what you do

00:28:44.160 right, the

00:28:44.880 other side is

00:28:45.460 going to say

00:28:45.820 it's a mistake

00:28:46.480 right down the

00:28:47.920 line.

00:28:48.380 So here's

00:28:48.780 Florida Governor

00:28:49.520 DeSantis.

00:28:51.040 Once again, I

00:28:53.240 don't know how

00:28:53.700 he comes up

00:28:54.340 with so many

00:28:54.860 things to do

00:28:56.240 that make

00:28:56.680 headlines and

00:28:57.480 look leaderly.

00:28:59.100 But man, he

00:28:59.680 just does one

00:29:00.220 after another.

00:29:01.480 Nobody's doing

00:29:02.040 a better job of

00:29:03.140 let's say managing

00:29:05.240 the media and the

00:29:06.320 state at the

00:29:07.000 same time.

00:29:07.920 Nobody's even

00:29:08.560 close.

00:29:09.260 He's doing by

00:29:09.980 far the best

00:29:10.620 job of managing

00:29:11.420 his brand as

00:29:14.380 well as the

00:29:14.880 state.

00:29:16.220 But he's

00:29:16.920 rolling out a

00:29:18.040 new treatment

00:29:18.960 plan in which

00:29:19.760 they'll have

00:29:20.060 these mobile

00:29:20.720 clinics for

00:29:21.840 Regeneron's

00:29:23.220 monoclonal

00:29:24.060 antibodies.

00:29:25.260 Now, if you're

00:29:25.700 following all the

00:29:26.500 COVID stuff, you

00:29:27.300 know that this

00:29:27.840 Regeneron stuff

00:29:28.880 is like magic.

00:29:30.780 You know, you

00:29:32.660 get the

00:29:33.160 Regeneron drip

00:29:34.980 going if you've

00:29:36.220 got COVID and

00:29:36.940 you're going to

00:29:37.260 feel better really

00:29:37.960 fast.

00:29:39.160 So we know that

00:29:40.480 works and we

00:29:42.300 know it's a big

00:29:42.760 deal, but it's

00:29:43.180 also $1,500 per

00:29:44.640 dose.

00:29:45.660 So what did the

00:29:46.320 liberals say?

00:29:48.920 I saw a few

00:29:49.940 critics say that

00:29:50.940 masks are, you

00:29:52.640 know, basically

00:29:53.440 cost nothing and

00:29:55.340 vaccinations are

00:29:56.280 free.

00:29:57.320 But why are we

00:29:58.340 pushing these

00:29:59.160 Regeneron

00:30:00.360 treatments that

00:30:01.640 are $1,500 per

00:30:02.840 dose?

00:30:04.460 Well, allow me

00:30:06.140 to talk to you,

00:30:07.260 those who do not

00:30:08.100 have economics

00:30:09.040 degrees.

00:30:10.760 The vaccination

00:30:11.440 isn't free.

00:30:13.860 The vaccination

00:30:14.920 isn't free.

00:30:17.000 It's just the

00:30:18.660 end user isn't

00:30:19.780 paying.

00:30:20.540 It wasn't free.

00:30:21.980 Do you know how

00:30:22.380 many billions of

00:30:23.260 dollars the

00:30:23.820 government put

00:30:24.900 into vaccinations?

00:30:26.680 A lot.

00:30:28.040 A lot of

00:30:28.500 billions.

00:30:29.620 It's the

00:30:29.920 opposite of

00:30:30.440 free.

00:30:31.020 It's like

00:30:31.320 really, really,

00:30:32.260 really expensive.

00:30:33.720 It's just that

00:30:34.340 maybe you don't

00:30:34.880 pay it when you

00:30:35.400 get it.

00:30:38.320 And how in the

00:30:39.400 world can you be

00:30:40.440 angry about

00:30:41.400 mobile Regeneron

00:30:43.720 clinics that are 1.00

00:30:45.340 definitely going to

00:30:46.040 save lives?

00:30:47.220 Definitely.

00:30:48.200 They're going to

00:30:48.720 keep people out of 0.99

00:30:49.400 hospitals.

00:30:50.740 Everything about

00:30:51.380 this plan is

00:30:52.060 great.

00:30:53.400 It's expensive.

00:30:54.800 But everything

00:30:55.500 about it is

00:30:56.100 great.

00:30:56.420 So, but of

00:31:00.800 course, the

00:31:01.260 critics had to

00:31:02.060 criticize Larry.

00:31:03.880 All right,

00:31:04.380 here's the

00:31:04.860 most optimistic

00:31:10.700 thing I've ever

00:31:12.740 said.

00:31:15.940 Most optimistic

00:31:17.000 thing I've ever

00:31:17.860 said is, is

00:31:19.040 there any

00:31:19.320 possibility that

00:31:20.280 the COVID

00:31:21.420 vaccinations will

00:31:22.620 cause you not to

00:31:24.160 get the common

00:31:24.680 cold?

00:31:26.380 Did we

00:31:27.040 accidentally cure

00:31:27.900 the common

00:31:28.340 cold?

00:31:30.280 Carpe, did

00:31:32.260 you get

00:31:32.560 reinstated?

00:31:34.160 I'm seeing a 0.98

00:31:34.600 message from

00:31:35.160 Carpe Donctum

00:31:36.040 that he's talking

00:31:37.980 about reinstatement,

00:31:39.100 I guess, on

00:31:40.080 YouTube?

00:31:41.740 So, Carpe

00:31:42.720 Doncte?

00:31:45.200 Ah, crackle is

00:31:46.260 back.

00:31:46.700 Yay.

00:31:47.440 All right, hold

00:31:47.900 on a second.

00:31:48.440 We're going to

00:31:48.820 test the crackle.

00:31:50.180 I'm going to see if

00:31:50.740 I can hear it on my

00:31:51.540 end.

00:31:51.900 I wanted to hear

00:31:52.420 the crackle.

00:31:55.360 Oh, yeah.

00:31:57.020 A little bit of

00:31:57.700 crackle.

00:31:58.240 Is it my phone?

00:32:03.240 Let's see if I put

00:32:04.180 my phone over

00:32:04.720 there.

00:32:04.940 Is there any

00:32:05.260 crackle?

00:32:08.060 Release the

00:32:08.640 crackle, somebody

00:32:09.360 says.

00:32:10.180 Yeah, I'm not

00:32:10.800 getting it on

00:32:11.320 YouTube.

00:32:12.240 The crackle

00:32:12.720 seems to be.

00:32:14.640 Only when I

00:32:15.420 talk.

00:32:17.860 See if any of

00:32:18.700 my stuff is

00:32:19.800 causing this

00:32:20.320 crackle.

00:32:20.800 Bear with

00:32:21.180 me.

00:32:27.240 It seems to

00:32:28.060 come and go,

00:32:28.840 right?

00:32:29.460 Free the

00:32:29.860 crackle.

00:32:31.680 Microphone

00:32:32.080 maybe,

00:32:32.640 copper

00:32:32.880 tape.

00:32:34.000 All right.

00:32:34.980 All right,

00:32:35.540 well, here

00:32:37.100 was my

00:32:37.520 optimistic

00:32:38.160 thought for

00:32:38.660 the day.

00:32:39.460 We know

00:32:40.020 that, or

00:32:40.700 we think

00:32:41.140 we know,

00:32:42.080 that if

00:32:42.800 people have

00:32:43.220 been exposed

00:32:43.740 to other

00:32:44.140 coronavirus,

00:32:45.560 they're

00:32:48.080 more likely

00:32:48.600 to have a

00:32:48.940 good outcome

00:32:49.580 if they

00:32:50.000 get the

00:32:51.260 COVID,

00:32:52.040 right?

00:32:52.540 So I

00:32:53.060 think that's

00:32:53.560 established as

00:32:56.140 much as

00:32:56.620 anything is,

00:32:57.280 I guess.

00:32:58.040 So would

00:32:58.720 you agree

00:32:59.120 with the

00:32:59.420 following

00:32:59.680 statement,

00:33:00.580 that the

00:33:01.840 science agrees

00:33:02.560 that if

00:33:02.920 you've had

00:33:04.980 other

00:33:05.320 colds,

00:33:06.200 regular

00:33:06.520 colds,

00:33:07.440 and viruses,

00:33:08.160 you might be

00:33:08.900 in better

00:33:09.220 shape to

00:33:09.760 fight off

00:33:10.240 the

00:33:10.380 coronavirus.

00:33:10.660 But is

00:33:13.720 it possible

00:33:14.280 that the

00:33:14.780 coronavirus

00:33:15.200 vaccination

00:33:16.280 would cause

00:33:17.020 you to

00:33:17.460 do better

00:33:18.020 against the

00:33:18.560 common

00:33:18.820 cold?

00:33:19.940 Or is

00:33:20.500 the small

00:33:21.200 change that

00:33:21.780 they make

00:33:22.560 in these

00:33:22.880 viruses

00:33:23.280 unrelated to

00:33:24.260 the other

00:33:24.800 coronaviruses?

00:33:26.980 Is it

00:33:27.300 possible?

00:33:29.980 Just had

00:33:30.780 two vaccinated

00:33:31.520 friends die

00:33:32.200 of COVID.

00:33:33.200 Wow.

00:33:37.020 You said

00:33:37.920 you had a

00:33:38.560 hunch it

00:33:38.840 was the

00:33:39.100 phone.

00:33:39.480 The phone

00:33:40.260 didn't make

00:33:40.640 any

00:33:40.800 difference

00:33:41.100 when I

00:33:41.420 moved it.

00:33:43.220 But I

00:33:43.780 did buy

00:33:44.100 a new

00:33:44.320 printer,

00:33:44.900 so I

00:33:45.140 don't need

00:33:45.540 to use

00:33:45.840 the phone

00:33:46.180 for my

00:33:46.600 notes next

00:33:47.340 time.

00:33:48.060 Well,

00:33:48.540 by Monday

00:33:49.000 or so,

00:33:49.400 I won't

00:33:49.660 need my

00:33:50.060 phone.

00:33:51.660 And the

00:33:52.680 phone didn't

00:33:53.100 seem to

00:33:53.400 make any

00:33:53.720 difference

00:33:53.960 when I

00:33:54.240 moved it

00:33:54.560 around.

00:33:56.900 All right.

00:34:00.060 The vaccine

00:34:00.860 isn't curing

00:34:01.580 COVID,

00:34:02.020 so it won't

00:34:02.380 cure anything

00:34:03.020 else.

00:34:04.020 Well,

00:34:04.360 cure is

00:34:04.820 too strong

00:34:05.800 a word,

00:34:06.220 but it

00:34:06.640 might,

00:34:07.780 it makes

00:34:08.180 me wonder

00:34:08.540 if we're

00:34:09.380 going to

00:34:09.700 make some

00:34:10.440 headway on

00:34:11.100 the common

00:34:11.420 cold.

00:34:12.120 I could

00:34:12.500 easily see

00:34:13.080 us getting

00:34:13.540 vaccination

00:34:14.220 boosters

00:34:14.800 every year

00:34:15.540 to get rid

00:34:16.820 of all the

00:34:17.420 cold and

00:34:17.900 flu stuff,

00:34:19.360 but maybe

00:34:19.700 we'd be

00:34:20.080 worse off

00:34:20.580 if we

00:34:20.860 did.

00:34:23.240 The other

00:34:23.860 day you

00:34:24.240 said you

00:34:24.540 didn't know

00:34:24.880 anyone who

00:34:25.380 had a

00:34:25.620 cold the

00:34:26.140 last 18

00:34:26.740 months,

00:34:28.380 but everyone

00:34:29.180 had COVID,

00:34:32.840 but everyone

00:34:33.240 thinks they

00:34:33.700 already had

00:34:34.080 COVID,

00:34:34.540 even though

00:34:34.860 said that.

00:34:36.180 Good point.

00:34:37.680 So there's

00:34:38.880 a comment

00:34:39.300 on locals

00:34:39.960 that said,

00:34:41.260 I said I

00:34:41.940 don't know

00:34:42.340 anybody who

00:34:43.400 says they

00:34:44.460 had a

00:34:45.080 common cold

00:34:45.720 since the

00:34:46.420 pandemic

00:34:46.780 started,

00:34:47.600 but there

00:34:48.320 are a bunch

00:34:48.920 of people

00:34:49.380 who believe

00:34:50.440 they had

00:34:50.820 COVID before

00:34:51.500 you knew

00:34:51.840 it was

00:34:52.040 COVID.

00:34:53.420 I don't

00:34:54.060 think any

00:34:54.460 of them

00:34:54.700 are real

00:34:55.020 COVID,

00:34:55.720 or almost

00:34:56.320 none of

00:34:56.600 them.

00:34:57.180 I think

00:34:57.500 those are

00:34:57.820 common

00:34:58.060 colds.

00:34:58.660 But lately,

00:34:59.600 have you

00:34:59.820 heard of

00:35:00.500 anybody in

00:35:00.980 the last

00:35:01.220 six months?

00:35:02.420 I haven't.

00:35:05.000 Somebody had

00:35:05.620 a cold and

00:35:06.300 tested negative

00:35:07.500 for COVID.

00:35:08.820 So there

00:35:09.340 definitely are

00:35:10.240 colds going

00:35:12.720 around, but

00:35:13.880 it feels like

00:35:14.520 fewer of them.

00:35:15.420 Now the kids

00:35:15.940 are back in

00:35:16.360 school, so

00:35:16.820 we'll see.

00:35:20.660 Have I been

00:35:21.440 keeping up on

00:35:22.140 ADE?

00:35:23.440 No.

00:35:26.020 Let's see,

00:35:26.600 about the

00:35:26.940 spike, is

00:35:27.460 part of the

00:35:27.980 vaccine target?

00:35:29.960 Yeah, so it

00:35:30.540 depends on how

00:35:31.320 similar,

00:35:31.700 the spike

00:35:32.240 proteins are,

00:35:33.100 somebody's

00:35:33.480 saying.

00:35:37.920 No cold

00:35:38.680 since

00:35:38.980 vaccinated,

00:35:39.740 somebody says.

00:35:44.460 You can

00:35:45.140 be infected

00:35:45.660 with both

00:35:46.120 at once.

00:35:47.000 Yeah, that

00:35:47.300 makes sense.

00:35:51.400 Mike Pompeo

00:35:52.320 is losing

00:35:52.780 weight.

00:35:53.380 Somebody says

00:35:53.940 that's a

00:35:54.360 tell for

00:35:54.920 getting ready

00:35:55.400 to run

00:35:55.720 for office.

00:35:56.340 It is a

00:35:56.720 tell for

00:35:57.080 getting ready

00:35:57.580 to run

00:35:57.900 for office,

00:35:58.620 but we'll

00:36:00.080 see if that's

00:36:00.640 real.

00:36:00.840 All right,

00:36:02.440 that's all

00:36:02.740 I've got

00:36:02.920 for now.

00:36:03.480 I've got

00:36:03.920 to go do

00:36:04.580 some stuff,

00:36:06.240 and I will

00:36:06.760 talk to you

00:36:07.300 later.

00:36:08.080 later.

00:36:09.720 You

00:36:10.140 know,

00:36:10.560 I'll

00:36:23.500 see you

00:36:23.820 know,

00:36:23.900 you
