Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1484 Scott Adams： Let's See if We Can Find something Good to Say About Today

00:00:00.000 Well, good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's time to get your attitude adjusted.

00:00:08.600 Because, you know, sometimes the news is not so good.

00:00:13.100 But, luckily, I'm here to cheer you up about all those things.

00:00:17.660 A little dose of better attitude. Get that day going.

00:00:23.180 If I lecture you about vaccines, you're going to go.

00:00:26.940 Don't worry. There will be no lecturing you about vaccines. Indeed. Indeed.

00:00:33.700 Albury arguing that you do have a constitutional right to avoid them.

00:00:39.320 So you're going to like that part. But wait for it.

00:00:42.460 All right. Before we get going, it's time for this simultaneous sip.

00:00:46.200 The best thing that's ever happened in the history of the universe.

00:00:49.160 And all you need is a cup or mug or a glass or a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask.

00:00:54.140 A vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:59.720 And join me now.

00:01:01.560 For the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine here today, the thing that makes, oh man, everything better.

00:01:06.620 Just everything.

00:01:07.780 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen now. Watch it. Go.

00:01:10.760 Well, I don't know if you know this, but there have been randomized, controlled trials.

00:01:22.360 And it's proven that people who participate in the simultaneous sip have a better day than the people who didn't.

00:01:30.200 Even the people who took horse dewormer instead.

00:01:34.860 No, it didn't help them.

00:01:36.040 But coffee did. Coffee did.

00:01:37.800 Well, Alyssa Milano, you know her.

00:01:42.220 Famous actress and supporter of Joe Biden.

00:01:47.040 Well, I'm going to give her the gutsiest tweet of the century award.

00:01:53.460 And she tweeted this yesterday.

00:01:55.960 And I'm not making this up.

00:01:58.480 This really happened.

00:01:59.620 So Alyssa Milano tweeted yesterday, I'm proud of POTUS and the incredible job he's doing.

00:02:08.140 He's the right person for the job in this moment in history.

00:02:11.880 Hashtag, I stand with Biden.

00:02:15.300 Now, I got questions.

00:02:19.560 I got questions.

00:02:20.760 Is Alyssa Milano the only person in the universe who hasn't noticed that there's kind of a big mistake Joe Biden made recently and maybe is still making?

00:02:34.580 We don't know.

00:02:38.120 She's proud of him.

00:02:40.280 She's proud of the job he's done.

00:02:42.140 And says he's the right person for the job in this moment in history.

00:02:48.260 And this raises an interesting question.

00:02:52.120 What would it look like if the worst person for the job had been in it?

00:02:57.840 Hmm.

00:02:59.240 Hmm.

00:03:00.280 What would the worst person for the job do?

00:03:05.580 I don't know.

00:03:06.640 The worst person?

00:03:07.780 Probably, I don't know, give names of people that are trying to escape from the Taliban to the Taliban.

00:03:18.660 Maybe that would be bad.

00:03:20.360 I think the worst person would do that.

00:03:23.680 Maybe when the Taliban offered America all of Taliban to control until the evacuations were over, 0.99

00:03:33.240 maybe the worst person in the world would say, we don't need all of Kabul. 0.97

00:03:38.360 All we need is a little airport.

00:03:40.460 We just need the airport.

00:03:42.660 That's sort of something that the worst person in the world might have said.

00:03:47.320 Anybody else would have said, yeah, you know, a better perimeter would be smarter.

00:03:51.320 We'll control Kabul until we're done. 0.98

00:03:54.180 That's what the Taliban offered them. 0.74

00:03:57.820 They turned it down.

00:03:59.880 What?

00:04:00.320 So thank goodness we don't have the worst person for the job.

00:04:09.480 Here's news that I consider fake news until somebody proves it's not.

00:04:15.520 And by the way, the giving the names to the Taliban, these were special cases.

00:04:26.000 It involved like a bus here or there, but it's still a real problem.

00:04:30.400 It wasn't all the names of all the people, but still pretty bad.

00:04:34.840 Although, to be fair, they don't have many options right now.

00:04:37.160 So the fake news is that Chase Bank closed General Flynn's account there

00:04:43.420 because they didn't want to associate with his reputational risk.

00:04:48.700 Do you believe that's true?

00:04:51.740 I saw this on social media, but I did not see it in the news.

00:04:55.840 That doesn't seem true.

00:04:56.980 I would say this is a little bit too on the nose, right?

00:05:06.300 I'm seeing Richard says it's true.

00:05:10.260 I'm seeing other people saying it's true.

00:05:13.860 Here's what I would look for.

00:05:16.660 I would only think this is true if it came from General Flynn's Twitter account.

00:05:21.880 If General Flynn tweeted this, well, it's true.

00:05:28.020 If he's the only person who didn't tweet it, or let's say he didn't tweet it at all,

00:05:32.400 or he just didn't mention it, it's not true.

00:05:37.320 Somebody says it's his own telegram.

00:05:40.160 Oh, Twitter banned him?

00:05:42.220 Let's say it comes from his account, though, some other account.

00:05:47.440 All right.

00:05:47.840 So I would say that I'm going to call this fake news

00:05:51.520 unless I heard it from him and from Flynn.

00:05:55.700 If somebody has something on social media that came from Flynn

00:05:58.840 that you actually did a screenshot yourself,

00:06:02.600 not a screenshot you saw,

00:06:04.880 but a screenshot you took yourself on social media of Flynn confirming it,

00:06:11.340 then I'll believe it.

00:06:12.520 So just...

00:06:13.360 His brother tweeted...

00:06:15.780 I don't trust his brother.

00:06:16.940 I wouldn't trust his brother.

00:06:19.500 I would trust only Flynn.

00:06:21.500 Any other source doesn't count.

00:06:24.020 But by the way, Richard Thomas,

00:06:27.900 more proof.

00:06:28.700 Scott's a right-wing shill.

00:06:31.420 I'm going to put you in timeout

00:06:33.300 because I'm going to hide you, Dick.

00:06:37.000 Literally, his name is Dick.

00:06:40.260 So, Dick, you're in timeout now.

00:06:43.340 So, what else we got here?

00:06:47.660 I love the daily CNN anecdotal persuasion.

00:06:52.360 So, as you know, CNN is trying to give you one story per day

00:06:55.880 of somebody who wishes they got the vaccine.

00:07:00.100 They sure wish they got vaccinated.

00:07:02.620 And they're going to be one a day forever

00:07:04.500 until you all get vaccinated, I guess.

00:07:06.380 So, this one was a woman hospitalized with COVID

00:07:09.580 comes home to find her husband has died from it.

00:07:14.020 So, she was in the hospital and didn't know that her husband 0.85

00:07:16.440 was literally home watching the pets,

00:07:18.840 and he died of it while she was in the hospital.

00:07:21.500 Now, there's no direct mention of whether they were vaccinated,

00:07:25.240 but they weren't vaccinated.

00:07:26.480 Yeah, I don't think so.

00:07:30.020 So, this is the sort of story you're going to hear a lot of.

00:07:33.060 Now, I'm not saying you should be persuaded by this.

00:07:35.140 In fact, I'm saying the opposite.

00:07:37.760 You should not be persuaded by anecdotes,

00:07:41.040 individual stories of something that happened to a person.

00:07:44.400 If that's what's persuading you, you're doing it wrong.

00:07:47.240 But the truth is, it is persuasive.

00:07:49.480 We do get persuaded by these little stories.

00:07:52.300 Here's another one.

00:07:53.180 So, Florida radio host, Mark Bernier, 65,

00:07:58.920 who disturbingly called himself Mr. Anti-Vax.

00:08:03.960 So, there's a conservative, Florida,

00:08:06.620 and Florida makes the story even more interesting, right?

00:08:10.260 Florida radio host, conservative,

00:08:12.620 called himself Mr. Anti-Vax.

00:08:15.640 Can you finish the rest of the story

00:08:17.480 without even knowing what it is?

00:08:18.820 So, there was an old guy, 65,

00:08:24.740 called himself Mr. Anti-Vax,

00:08:27.080 and he was quite proud of it.

00:08:28.640 How do you think the story ends?

00:08:31.480 That's right.

00:08:32.300 He died.

00:08:33.460 Didn't get vaccinated, and he died of COVID.

00:08:36.780 Now, you knew that was going to be the end of the story, right?

00:08:40.500 Because it's anecdotal persuasion.

00:08:42.720 And if the story has that little twist,

00:08:46.760 oh, he was anti-vax,

00:08:48.900 and he died.

00:08:52.240 Yes, you're right, Anne-Marie, 65 is not old.

00:08:54.980 I correct.

00:08:55.760 I correct myself.

00:08:58.960 But, certainly in terms of COVID,

00:09:01.400 it's within the risk category-ish,

00:09:03.900 the beginning of the risk category, I'd say.

00:09:06.480 And he's the third broadcaster to die from COVID.

00:09:09.780 I think they mean the third conservative one, right?

00:09:13.280 He's the third one who said,

00:09:14.860 don't get a vaccination,

00:09:15.840 and then he died because he didn't get a vaccination.

00:09:18.660 Is that it?

00:09:21.100 Yeah, the closer you get to 65,

00:09:23.080 the less old it seems.

00:09:25.180 I tell you, if I thought that...

00:09:26.900 So, I'm 64.

00:09:28.360 If I knew that being 64 felt the way it feels now,

00:09:34.360 I never would have been afraid of it,

00:09:37.280 because it feels pretty good.

00:09:38.780 I've got to say,

00:09:39.400 I'm probably as healthy as I've ever been in my whole life.

00:09:42.660 But this story about the Marc Bernier who tragically died

00:09:48.880 after branding himself Mr. Anti-Vax,

00:09:52.540 this is the type of story that tells you a lot about yourself.

00:09:57.540 Doesn't it?

00:09:58.220 What was your reaction to the story about somebody who was anti-vax

00:10:03.480 and then died because he didn't get a vaccine?

00:10:06.720 You kind of were amused.

00:10:08.740 Some of you were.

00:10:09.480 Some of you, you know,

00:10:11.220 maybe had a more human reaction

00:10:13.860 and just thought it was tragic and that's the end of it.

00:10:16.080 But I hate to tell you,

00:10:21.960 I was a little bit entertained.

00:10:24.900 And that says something really bad about me, doesn't it?

00:10:28.300 How many of you had the same reaction

00:10:30.020 and found out that you suck just like I did? 0.90

00:10:33.980 I found out I'm a bad person

00:10:35.980 because it kind of entertained me.

00:10:41.520 I mean, that's really bad, isn't it?

00:10:43.340 I'm being honest.

00:10:45.160 Now, I'm not saying that I'm proud of it

00:10:46.900 because it's not really a reaction you should be proud of.

00:10:50.740 But I suck.

00:10:53.720 I suck.

00:10:55.060 Yeah, and it's a tragedy

00:10:55.980 and I feel bad for the family.

00:10:58.660 But the reason it was in the news

00:11:00.400 is that somebody thought I would be entertained by it.

00:11:03.900 And they were right.

00:11:05.980 Sorry.

00:11:10.700 By the way, I don't care if you get a vaccination.

00:11:13.100 So it's not about that.

00:11:16.180 It's more about whether you suck as a human being.

00:11:18.340 And I guess I do.

00:11:20.920 So I'd like to say again

00:11:23.520 that there are two positions on ivermectin

00:11:26.440 which would reveal you to be not part of reason.

00:11:32.300 I've said this before, but I have to say it again.

00:11:34.320 If you're positive that it has been proven

00:11:36.920 that ivermectin works,

00:11:39.420 that hasn't happened.

00:11:41.560 So you're not really part of reason

00:11:43.240 if you think that happened.

00:11:44.580 But if you're positive it doesn't work

00:11:46.580 and that it's just horse dewormer

00:11:49.500 and it couldn't possibly work,

00:11:52.120 well, you're not part of reason there either.

00:11:54.220 Because there's plenty of evidence.

00:11:57.200 There just isn't proof.

00:11:59.320 And we get those two confused, right?

00:12:01.560 There's no...

00:12:02.240 I would agree that there's no proof

00:12:04.740 that ivermectin works,

00:12:06.980 but there's a ton of suspicious-looking evidence, right?

00:12:12.000 So if you're not uncertain about ivermectin,

00:12:14.860 you're in the wrong place.

00:12:15.800 I saw a graph today.

00:12:18.440 Somebody...

00:12:19.060 I think it was AJ Cortez

00:12:21.360 sent this graph on Twitter.

00:12:23.440 And it's a graph that's showing

00:12:24.400 that the African countries

00:12:26.580 that used ivermectin

00:12:28.360 have very low death rate from COVID,

00:12:31.760 whereas the African countries

00:12:33.320 that do not use it so much

00:12:34.980 have much higher,

00:12:36.680 much, much higher death rates.

00:12:38.980 So that's all you need to know, right?

00:12:41.140 If the countries in Africa

00:12:43.200 that used it

00:12:45.120 are doing relatively great,

00:12:47.540 and the ones that didn't use it

00:12:48.660 are doing relatively sucky,

00:12:51.080 that's all you need to know.

00:12:52.340 No, it's not about vitamin D.

00:12:54.200 It's not about sunlight,

00:12:55.620 because it's Africa.

00:12:56.680 We're only looking at Africa, right? 0.95

00:12:59.160 They got lots of vitamin D.

00:13:00.500 They got lots of sunlight.

00:13:01.960 So if it's only African countries, 0.54

00:13:05.060 and the ones using ivermectin did great,

00:13:07.520 and the ones who don't use it

00:13:09.460 did the same as everybody else not using it,

00:13:12.740 doesn't that tell you something?

00:13:14.380 Are you convinced?

00:13:16.280 Are you all convinced now?

00:13:19.040 Wait a minute.

00:13:20.620 Wait a minute.

00:13:21.980 What would be maybe wrong?

00:13:25.440 What would be maybe wrong with the data

00:13:27.840 just off the top of your head?

00:13:29.760 What do you think could be wrong with the data?

00:13:33.100 How about everything?

00:13:35.480 What would the countries that use ivermectin in Africa

00:13:43.600 have in common with each other?

00:13:46.220 And that would be different, perhaps,

00:13:48.280 than the countries who are not using ivermectin.

00:13:50.540 What would the users of ivermectin in Africa

00:13:53.500 have in common?

00:13:54.980 Well, somebody says malaria, maybe.

00:13:57.620 I don't know.

00:13:59.340 More developed, right, and less developed.

00:14:02.320 The more developed the country is,

00:14:04.440 the less likely they're using ivermectin.

00:14:06.860 What else would be a correlation

00:14:08.640 the more developed you are

00:14:10.380 and the better your health care is?

00:14:11.980 What would be another correlation?

00:14:15.720 Another correlation would be

00:14:17.580 you count your dead correctly.

00:14:20.920 Do you think that a country

00:14:22.660 that has to use ivermectin,

00:14:24.720 because they don't have good enough health care

00:14:26.420 to do anything else,

00:14:27.240 do you think that country

00:14:28.520 is counting their deaths correctly?

00:14:30.140 No, there's probably a perfect correlation,

00:14:34.140 or a really strong one, I would guess.

00:14:36.520 Not perfect.

00:14:37.660 There's probably a perfect correlation-ish

00:14:39.940 between countries that can't count their dead,

00:14:44.540 they're not testing them,

00:14:45.780 they don't know who died at home and who didn't,

00:14:48.900 and ones that don't have enough health care

00:14:50.620 to do anything but use ivermectin.

00:14:53.320 So, now, I'm not saying that's the explanation.

00:14:55.740 I'm saying it's a more obvious explanation

00:14:59.100 than ivermectin really works

00:15:01.340 and all the experts in the other countries

00:15:03.120 didn't notice, right?

00:15:05.700 So, compare the two possibilities.

00:15:08.740 I think my bird has visited me.

00:15:12.740 Oh, no, it's an actual human this time.

00:15:17.480 That's my security camera beeping at me.

00:15:20.760 So, take these two possibilities.

00:15:24.120 What is the greater possibility?

00:15:27.640 That the African study has good data 0.98

00:15:31.180 and it shows that ivermectin works,

00:15:34.480 but all of the industrial countries around the world

00:15:37.680 haven't noticed or don't believe it.

00:15:42.040 Is that likely?

00:15:43.160 Could be.

00:15:44.300 It could be.

00:15:44.740 I don't think you can rule that out.

00:15:46.300 It's perfectly possible

00:15:47.560 that there is data showing it works in Africa

00:15:50.360 that's not convincing to people who are experts.

00:15:53.080 Maybe.

00:15:53.980 And maybe it's even accurate.

00:15:55.600 But what's the other possibility?

00:15:57.800 The other possibility is that

00:15:59.600 it's exactly the countries

00:16:01.260 who are not good at counting their dead.

00:16:03.620 And that's the whole thing.

00:16:05.640 Could be the whole thing.

00:16:07.660 So, I wouldn't believe any graph

00:16:09.800 about ivermectin

00:16:12.000 or about one country compared to another.

00:16:14.000 Every time you do the...

00:16:16.320 Every time you do that kind of comparison,

00:16:20.560 it's misleading, I think.

00:16:22.520 All right.

00:16:24.400 Alex Berenson, who, as you know,

00:16:27.300 was skeptical of many things

00:16:29.040 the government was doing about this pandemic,

00:16:31.100 got banned by Twitter.

00:16:33.240 And I was reading an article.

00:16:35.840 Israel is not too happy with them.

00:16:37.820 So, Haaretz, a big Israeli publication,

00:16:43.660 was mocking him for his takes on Israel.

00:16:48.120 And apparently he was claiming

00:16:49.460 that the vaccinations weren't working too well in Israel.

00:16:53.320 So, this is an article in Haaretz.

00:16:56.080 So, this is their claim.

00:16:57.200 I'm just passing it along.

00:16:58.600 And the claim is that Alex Berenson

00:17:01.100 was saying that the vaccinations

00:17:02.800 weren't working in Israel.

00:17:05.220 So, his initial claim is that

00:17:07.200 they just weren't working.

00:17:08.700 It wasn't keeping anybody from dying.

00:17:11.240 But once the data was overwhelmingly

00:17:13.200 showing that that was true,

00:17:15.620 apparently he changed his attack to,

00:17:18.340 well, they might be preventing some COVID,

00:17:21.060 but what about these side effects?

00:17:23.200 And they started talking about the side effects

00:17:24.960 instead of the effectiveness.

00:17:27.080 Now, that should be your first flag, right?

00:17:30.560 That somebody's moving from their one criticism

00:17:32.620 and immediately goes to another criticism.

00:17:35.220 So, that's what I talk about

00:17:36.740 when I talk about the people

00:17:38.580 who brand themselves as the rogues,

00:17:43.540 the people who are on the other side of everything.

00:17:46.020 Once you're always on the other side of everything,

00:17:48.900 you don't have any credibility.

00:17:51.320 Now, that doesn't mean you're wrong.

00:17:52.720 And I'll say this a million times.

00:17:54.320 If anybody comes back to me later and says,

00:17:56.360 ha, ha, ha, Alex Berenson was right

00:17:59.100 and you were wrong,

00:18:00.080 I'm going to say, so?

00:18:01.440 I always allowed that that's possible.

00:18:05.220 It is 100% possible

00:18:08.100 that when this is all said and done,

00:18:10.660 Alex Berenson will be right about everything.

00:18:13.680 Completely possible.

00:18:15.140 I don't think so.

00:18:16.840 I'd bet against it.

00:18:17.960 I'd bet heavily against it.

00:18:20.280 We can't rule it out

00:18:21.280 based on what we know at the moment.

00:18:23.920 Because any data you think does

00:18:26.140 has disproved him.

00:18:27.600 I don't know.

00:18:28.460 All our data is crap.

00:18:30.040 I'm not sure anybody can disprove anybody these days.

00:18:35.640 All right.

00:18:37.040 Let's talk about your constitutional right.

00:18:40.500 I saw CNN said that you do not have a constitutional right

00:18:44.000 to avoid a vaccination.

00:18:46.400 What do you think?

00:18:47.060 Do you think you have a constitutional right

00:18:50.480 to avoid a mandatory vaccination?

00:18:58.340 So the argument is,

00:18:59.880 there are other vaccines that are mandatory

00:19:02.000 and those have passed constitutional muster.

00:19:05.760 So for example,

00:19:06.600 we all have to get a polio vaccination, right?

00:19:09.240 I think that's one of the examples.

00:19:11.380 And it's mandatory.

00:19:13.160 It's mandatory.

00:19:13.880 So doesn't that prove

00:19:16.960 that there's no constitutional right for it?

00:19:21.020 Well, here's the thing.

00:19:23.620 If you don't get the polio vaccination,

00:19:26.260 or there could be other vaccinations in this example,

00:19:29.460 but I'll just use polio, 0.99

00:19:30.940 you would be putting your fellow citizens at risk.

00:19:34.320 We all agree on that, right?

00:19:35.980 That if you don't get vaccinated,

00:19:38.300 at least that's what medical science is telling you,

00:19:40.800 that you would be putting other people at risk.

00:19:43.880 Do you have a constitutional right?

00:19:46.640 This would be CNN's argument,

00:19:48.160 which I'll argue against in a moment.

00:19:49.600 Do you have a constitutional right

00:19:51.460 to put other people at risk?

00:19:58.300 Well, apparently you don't.

00:20:02.680 Because if your freedom puts somebody else at risk,

00:20:05.460 that's where your freedom ends, right?

00:20:06.880 So do you have the freedom

00:20:08.560 to go take a crap in somebody's living room? 0.71

00:20:12.340 You do not.

00:20:13.540 Because that would have an impact on somebody else.

00:20:15.960 So your freedom generally is limited

00:20:18.620 when it starts having a big enough impact

00:20:20.680 on other people, right?

00:20:22.360 We all have to deal with our smaller impacts

00:20:24.900 on other people

00:20:25.580 because there's no way to prevent them.

00:20:27.580 But when it's the big stuff,

00:20:29.240 such as life and death,

00:20:31.560 yeah, then your freedom

00:20:32.940 is probably going to be limited

00:20:34.540 by what you're doing to other people.

00:20:36.780 Yeah, drunk driving would be an example, right?

00:20:39.580 So I agree with the argument 0.69

00:20:41.720 that the government can force you

00:20:44.560 to do things you didn't want to do

00:20:46.400 if it's good for other people.

00:20:53.940 Yeah.

00:20:54.840 I see your comment, Justin.

00:20:56.100 All right.

00:20:59.220 But here's my take on it.

00:21:03.600 What if you genuinely believe

00:21:07.380 it would be dangerous to you?

00:21:09.620 Now, I can't remember ever thinking to myself,

00:21:12.140 hey, if I get these polio vaccinations or other,

00:21:16.160 I don't remember ever thinking that it would kill me.

00:21:18.960 Like I was never afraid of it

00:21:20.260 because it felt like it was tested enough

00:21:22.180 even if it wasn't.

00:21:23.660 So at least I didn't feel like it was dangerous.

00:21:25.300 But what if you feel like,

00:21:27.920 whether you're right or wrong,

00:21:30.360 what if you feel like

00:21:31.880 the vaccination would be dangerous to you?

00:21:35.380 That's different, isn't it?

00:21:37.140 These vaccinations are not analogous

00:21:39.900 to other vaccinations.

00:21:41.460 Because with the other vaccinations,

00:21:43.200 you did have a fairly good feeling

00:21:45.780 that they'd been tested well enough,

00:21:47.860 they weren't that unique,

00:21:49.520 and that they were working against something

00:21:51.540 where a vaccination works.

00:21:52.760 Here we have a case where the vaccination works-ish,

00:21:58.220 but it still doesn't stop at cold.

00:22:01.700 And because it's newer and a little less tested

00:22:05.600 and newer technology,

00:22:08.160 there is some extra concern.

00:22:11.220 So here's my constitutional argument,

00:22:13.900 and it goes like this.

00:22:15.300 Yes, the government can force you

00:22:17.760 to do something with your body

00:22:19.320 that you didn't want to do

00:22:22.180 if there's not much danger to you in it,

00:22:26.540 and it would save other people's lives.

00:22:29.100 I take that as constitutionally solid.

00:22:32.220 I think the government can force you

00:22:34.040 to protect other citizens

00:22:36.080 if there's not really much of a risk to you.

00:22:38.620 But what if the government and you

00:22:42.300 have a very different opinion

00:22:43.660 about the level of risk?

00:22:45.580 What if you think the risk is unacceptably high,

00:22:49.540 even if it isn't?

00:22:51.580 And what if the government says,

00:22:53.140 no, it's low enough?

00:22:56.120 Well, here's the problem.

00:22:58.720 The government doesn't have the right

00:23:01.860 to make you harm yourself,

00:23:04.020 in your opinion.

00:23:05.160 Does it?

00:23:08.000 Can the government make you harm yourself,

00:23:10.800 in your opinion?

00:23:11.900 So I'm not saying it would harm you.

00:23:13.300 I'm saying that if it's your opinion

00:23:14.540 that it would harm you,

00:23:15.720 can they make you do that?

00:23:17.060 Because it doesn't really apply

00:23:18.400 to the other vaccinations too much.

00:23:21.620 Right?

00:23:22.340 You can...

00:23:24.320 You know, most people aren't too afraid of those.

00:23:26.460 I know the anti-vaxxers are,

00:23:27.920 but it isn't as big a deal as this is.

00:23:31.340 Right?

00:23:32.160 Anyway,

00:23:32.560 I think the constitutional argument

00:23:35.020 that the government can make you do it

00:23:37.760 doesn't apply to this.

00:23:39.960 So,

00:23:40.500 that's my take on the constitutionality.

00:23:44.320 Well, apparently North Korea

00:23:45.680 is firing up another nuclear...

00:23:47.880 Well, a nuclear reactor that they already had.

00:23:50.640 They're firing it back up,

00:23:52.320 and it's capable of producing

00:23:54.180 weapons-grade plutonium, we think.

00:23:56.880 And here's the question.

00:23:58.780 Would this have happened under Trump?

00:24:00.560 Now,

00:24:02.640 I probably would,

00:24:03.920 because I imagine that they need electricity

00:24:05.920 as much as they need to make bombs.

00:24:08.640 But,

00:24:09.000 you know,

00:24:10.280 it's being noted that it might be

00:24:12.240 a negotiating tactic.

00:24:14.160 And that's really just to get us back

00:24:15.820 to the negotiating table.

00:24:17.220 But what exactly are we negotiating about?

00:24:20.500 Does North Korea need anything? 0.77

00:24:23.000 I mean,

00:24:23.340 are we negotiating with them?

00:24:24.620 My best guess

00:24:27.240 is that they probably

00:24:27.980 just need electricity,

00:24:29.200 and this is how they can get it.

00:24:32.180 So,

00:24:32.780 I feel as though

00:24:33.600 we would be safer under Trump,

00:24:35.620 because even if Trump

00:24:36.600 didn't like this,

00:24:38.260 he'd probably at least

00:24:39.200 have a friendlier interaction

00:24:40.620 with them,

00:24:41.360 which would make us all safer.

00:24:43.640 I don't know what Biden's going to do,

00:24:45.080 threaten him.

00:24:46.260 What good's that going to do?

00:24:49.880 Here's another dog

00:24:51.300 that's not barking.

00:24:52.120 Where's my anonymous reports

00:24:55.080 about all the generals

00:24:56.260 privately disagreeing with Biden

00:24:58.320 about the Afghanistan withdrawal?

00:25:01.240 Where's that?

00:25:03.220 Are you telling me

00:25:04.120 you can't produce

00:25:05.140 one anonymous story,

00:25:07.760 anonymously sourced story,

00:25:09.860 about the conversation

00:25:11.720 in the room

00:25:12.520 when the decisions

00:25:14.520 were being made?

00:25:20.460 I don't know.

00:25:21.560 It feels like

00:25:22.320 there's something missing here,

00:25:23.560 right?

00:25:24.440 Because don't you think

00:25:25.440 that if Trump were president,

00:25:27.340 we'd have anonymous stories

00:25:28.700 that the generals said clearly,

00:25:30.940 do not do this,

00:25:32.140 Mr. President.

00:25:33.380 And then the president,

00:25:35.000 in his orange badness,

00:25:37.720 decided to do it anyway

00:25:39.080 for political

00:25:39.980 or financial gain.

00:25:41.720 Right?

00:25:42.400 That's the story, right?

00:25:44.060 If Trump had been president,

00:25:45.620 you'd have all these

00:25:46.300 anonymous reports

00:25:47.280 where he was just being dumb

00:25:49.180 and he said all the right things

00:25:50.380 and he was racist. 0.65

00:25:51.180 And none of it would be true.

00:25:53.380 It wouldn't be true,

00:25:54.660 but it would definitely exist.

00:25:57.280 Those stories would be there.

00:25:59.320 And you can see now

00:26:00.780 that apparently

00:26:02.180 that kind of story

00:26:03.320 gets invented by the left

00:26:04.680 more than the right.

00:26:06.320 Because if the news

00:26:07.520 on the right

00:26:08.040 invented bullshit stories

00:26:10.080 as much as the left,

00:26:12.580 at least in this category

00:26:13.560 of stories,

00:26:14.680 you'd already see it.

00:26:15.620 You know,

00:26:16.540 somebody would be reporting

00:26:18.020 an anonymous source

00:26:19.340 tried to tell Biden

00:26:20.960 not to do it,

00:26:21.720 but he just wouldn't listen.

00:26:24.220 I don't know.

00:26:24.780 I'd like to hear

00:26:25.280 what happened

00:26:25.720 behind closed doors.

00:26:27.800 And the news

00:26:29.400 is suspiciously

00:26:30.540 not telling us.

00:26:32.060 Well, Rasmussen

00:26:32.720 did a poll

00:26:34.980 and asked people

00:26:35.600 about what they thought

00:26:36.420 about Biden's performance

00:26:38.540 on the withdrawal

00:26:39.440 of Afghanistan.

00:26:41.080 You would not be surprised

00:26:42.560 that 52% of respondents

00:26:44.360 said it was poor.

00:26:46.120 Poor job.

00:26:48.180 Here's the surprising part.

00:26:51.220 32% of likely voters

00:26:53.220 in this Rasmussen poll

00:26:55.120 think that

00:26:57.320 that Biden's job

00:26:59.640 in withdrawing

00:27:00.260 from Afghanistan

00:27:01.040 was either good

00:27:02.840 or excellent.

00:27:04.820 One-third

00:27:05.680 of the public,

00:27:07.760 the voting public,

00:27:09.240 not even the people

00:27:10.220 who aren't paying attention,

00:27:11.940 the voting public,

00:27:13.240 the people

00:27:14.560 who pay attention

00:27:15.280 more than other people.

00:27:18.520 A third

00:27:19.380 of the voting public

00:27:20.760 thinks Biden

00:27:22.960 did an okay job

00:27:24.260 on the withdrawal.

00:27:27.580 What?

00:27:29.020 There's not even

00:27:30.060 a single news source

00:27:31.240 with that story.

00:27:33.820 There is not

00:27:34.780 one news outlet

00:27:36.520 saying he did this right.

00:27:39.060 Not the left.

00:27:40.160 Not the right.

00:27:42.480 Not the middle

00:27:43.240 if the middle exists

00:27:44.180 anywhere.

00:27:44.740 I don't know.

00:27:46.320 What the hell

00:27:47.540 is going on?

00:27:49.580 Are the Democrats

00:27:50.940 so dug in?

00:27:52.760 Are they going

00:27:53.560 Alyssa Milano?

00:27:55.280 Is this cognitive dissonance?

00:27:58.400 Is it confirmation bias?

00:28:00.840 What is this?

00:28:02.660 I mean, seriously.

00:28:03.920 You expect

00:28:04.700 some kind of a split

00:28:06.420 like this

00:28:07.140 when the sides

00:28:08.720 disagree.

00:28:10.320 You know,

00:28:10.520 if the news

00:28:11.140 is reporting

00:28:11.760 differently

00:28:12.640 on the right

00:28:13.300 and the left

00:28:13.840 about who did well

00:28:14.860 or who didn't,

00:28:16.180 well,

00:28:16.520 then you'd have

00:28:17.100 a split population.

00:28:19.640 But what happens

00:28:20.400 when the news

00:28:20.980 on the left

00:28:21.560 and the right

00:28:22.320 both know

00:28:23.560 that Biden blew it

00:28:24.580 and they're

00:28:25.240 completely consistent?

00:28:26.880 I don't believe

00:28:27.640 there's anybody

00:28:28.280 going on the news

00:28:29.120 on any outlet

00:28:29.940 saying,

00:28:30.360 well,

00:28:30.440 this looked

00:28:30.740 pretty good to me.

00:28:32.200 I don't think so.

00:28:34.140 How in the world

00:28:35.160 do 32%

00:28:37.140 say,

00:28:38.480 well,

00:28:38.820 that's pretty good.

00:28:39.980 That's a good job.

00:28:43.220 Well,

00:28:43.780 yes,

00:28:44.380 okay,

00:28:44.740 blaming it on Trump.

00:28:45.560 Yes,

00:28:45.740 some might be

00:28:46.240 blaming it on Trump.

00:28:48.100 That could be.

00:28:49.540 Some might be saying,

00:28:50.820 you know,

00:28:51.200 it doesn't matter

00:28:51.840 how we get out,

00:28:52.580 just get out.

00:28:53.800 Maybe.

00:28:55.020 Some might be saying,

00:28:56.200 well,

00:28:56.360 it's going to be messy

00:28:57.100 no matter what you do.

00:28:58.140 It would have been messy

00:28:58.980 if Trump did it too.

00:29:00.460 Maybe.

00:29:01.240 Maybe.

00:29:02.080 But

00:29:02.440 I don't know

00:29:03.680 how you can argue

00:29:04.560 that it's not going poorly.

00:29:06.420 You could argue

00:29:07.060 that maybe it would have

00:29:07.860 gone poorly

00:29:08.380 no matter who did it.

00:29:10.500 But you can't argue

00:29:11.340 it's not going poorly.

00:29:13.400 Now,

00:29:13.960 let me throw

00:29:15.300 a compliment

00:29:16.440 to Biden,

00:29:17.340 okay?

00:29:18.480 When Biden said

00:29:19.480 we are going to get out

00:29:20.740 by this date

00:29:21.680 that the Taliban set, 0.98

00:29:23.520 most of the reporting

00:29:24.700 on the left

00:29:25.280 and the right

00:29:25.760 said,

00:29:26.220 oh,

00:29:26.480 that's a big mistake

00:29:27.480 because I'm not sure

00:29:28.640 we could make that happen.

00:29:30.020 And

00:29:30.320 the people

00:29:31.400 who are below Biden

00:29:32.740 in the administration

00:29:33.520 are saying it's not

00:29:34.400 going to happen.

00:29:35.540 So it looks like

00:29:36.320 a big old mistake,

00:29:37.200 right?

00:29:38.220 No.

00:29:39.380 No.

00:29:39.800 If Trump were doing

00:29:40.480 the same thing,

00:29:41.140 I would be supporting

00:29:41.980 him the same way.

00:29:43.140 It goes like this.

00:29:44.980 Biden is talking

00:29:46.060 to the Taliban.

00:29:48.320 Right?

00:29:48.900 And he's trying

00:29:49.500 to treat them

00:29:50.240 as respected partners

00:29:52.320 at least long enough

00:29:54.280 to get our people out.

00:29:56.080 Right?

00:29:56.280 What he says

00:29:56.860 after we get our people out

00:29:57.940 might be different.

00:29:58.620 But at the moment,

00:30:00.660 Biden is saying

00:30:01.600 he will respect

00:30:02.340 the deadline

00:30:02.920 because he's respecting

00:30:03.960 their right

00:30:05.800 to put a deadline

00:30:06.800 on it.

00:30:07.980 And here's

00:30:08.660 the second part.

00:30:10.860 I've seen this

00:30:11.580 in management

00:30:12.100 a million times.

00:30:14.000 You know,

00:30:14.200 the CEO will say,

00:30:15.240 I need this in two weeks.

00:30:16.480 And all the underlings

00:30:17.480 say,

00:30:17.820 you can't do this

00:30:18.500 in two weeks.

00:30:19.460 This will take a month

00:30:20.680 no matter what.

00:30:22.080 And then the CEO says,

00:30:23.400 yeah,

00:30:23.620 but you're going to do it

00:30:24.260 in two weeks.

00:30:25.800 And then the underlings

00:30:26.640 say,

00:30:26.960 I don't think you heard us.

00:30:27.840 This cannot be done

00:30:29.040 in two weeks.

00:30:30.220 And then the CEO says,

00:30:31.700 do it in two weeks.

00:30:33.460 And then they go do it

00:30:34.500 in two weeks.

00:30:36.200 Right?

00:30:36.640 So it looks like

00:30:37.740 Biden did that.

00:30:38.680 It looks like

00:30:39.340 everybody said

00:30:40.120 it's impossible.

00:30:41.400 It looks like

00:30:41.980 Biden said,

00:30:42.760 do it anyway.

00:30:44.120 And I think

00:30:44.800 he's going to get

00:30:45.360 pretty close.

00:30:47.220 At least in terms

00:30:48.160 of the people

00:30:48.560 we can get out.

00:30:49.420 Now the problem is

00:30:50.180 there are people

00:30:51.120 who can't get

00:30:51.600 to the airport,

00:30:52.360 right?

00:30:52.820 And there will be

00:30:53.320 stragglers forever.

00:30:54.300 But I'm not convinced

00:30:56.580 we won't have

00:30:57.420 some kind of

00:30:58.200 a system

00:30:58.660 to get them out.

00:31:00.280 I think it'll be

00:31:01.480 a bunch of

00:31:02.820 different efforts.

00:31:04.040 I think we'll have

00:31:04.640 to peck away

00:31:05.500 at it for a long time.

00:31:07.140 Maybe privately

00:31:07.940 people will do

00:31:08.720 some things

00:31:09.460 as well as

00:31:09.960 government stuff.

00:31:11.000 Other governments

00:31:11.700 will help us,

00:31:12.560 et cetera.

00:31:13.480 But I don't know,

00:31:15.320 at least in that

00:31:16.060 narrow sense

00:31:17.120 of Biden

00:31:18.240 sticking to the deadline,

00:31:19.860 I think he probably

00:31:20.940 made the right choice

00:31:22.020 on that,

00:31:22.620 even though it

00:31:24.260 looks stupid

00:31:24.840 persuasion-wise

00:31:26.420 and negotiation-wise

00:31:27.620 and managing

00:31:28.820 the Taliban's 0.96

00:31:29.700 attitude,

00:31:30.220 which matters

00:31:30.780 because we can't

00:31:32.040 go hard at them

00:31:32.740 while we still

00:31:33.380 need them.

00:31:34.740 So I think

00:31:35.600 the deadline thing

00:31:37.080 might have been

00:31:37.720 the right move

00:31:38.600 or the only move

00:31:39.200 he could make.

00:31:41.400 I'm seeing some

00:31:42.220 Mike Cernovich

00:31:42.840 tweets about

00:31:45.000 the missile attack.

00:31:46.340 So there was

00:31:46.780 a second response,

00:31:48.600 I guess.

00:31:49.260 The U.S.

00:31:49.740 did a missile attack

00:31:50.680 or a drone strike,

00:31:51.840 whatever it was,

00:31:52.880 on a Kabul neighborhood

00:31:54.420 that allegedly killed

00:31:56.540 something like

00:31:57.300 six to nine people,

00:31:58.600 maybe 20.

00:32:00.140 It's a fog of war,

00:32:01.060 we don't know.

00:32:01.780 There were children

00:32:02.300 among the dead,

00:32:03.740 allegedly.

00:32:04.480 We don't know that

00:32:05.120 for sure either,

00:32:06.460 although they're

00:32:07.020 photographs.

00:32:07.960 We assume that

00:32:08.580 they're accurate

00:32:09.000 photographs.

00:32:11.400 And I guess

00:32:12.080 the U.S.

00:32:12.860 has not confirmed

00:32:13.600 who was or was

00:32:15.120 not killed,

00:32:15.940 but there were

00:32:16.600 secondary explosions,

00:32:18.140 so I guess they

00:32:18.700 targeted a car

00:32:19.800 or a vehicle,

00:32:20.680 that allegedly

00:32:21.820 had some suicide

00:32:22.620 attackers in it,

00:32:24.320 but the explosion

00:32:26.160 caused secondary

00:32:27.200 explosions,

00:32:28.000 and I guess

00:32:28.280 a building blew up.

00:32:29.740 Now, that doesn't

00:32:30.380 necessarily mean

00:32:31.640 that there were

00:32:32.140 explosives in the

00:32:33.080 building,

00:32:33.640 but it's indicated

00:32:34.520 there might have been.

00:32:37.420 So,

00:32:38.900 did you notice

00:32:40.500 there's not much

00:32:41.240 news on it?

00:32:43.020 So, I saw

00:32:43.900 the Cernovich tweets,

00:32:46.800 and I thought to myself,

00:32:47.840 my God,

00:32:48.280 that's a big story.

00:32:49.080 And then I went

00:32:50.460 to the news

00:32:51.340 to check on the

00:32:52.100 story.

00:32:53.300 And it's almost

00:32:54.380 being ignored

00:32:55.300 in American media.

00:32:58.580 CNN has one,

00:32:59.980 you know,

00:33:00.280 minor headline on it,

00:33:01.760 and the headline

00:33:02.960 doesn't even refer

00:33:03.980 to it directly.

00:33:05.760 Like, you have to

00:33:06.320 get into the story

00:33:07.080 to find out

00:33:07.620 it even happened.

00:33:08.800 So they're definitely

00:33:09.940 underplaying it.

00:33:11.380 CNN is underplaying

00:33:12.580 the hell out of this.

00:33:13.420 And I had to read

00:33:16.680 about it in

00:33:17.340 foreign press.

00:33:18.780 I had to read

00:33:19.260 about it in

00:33:19.840 The Guardian.

00:33:21.500 I had to read

00:33:22.260 about it in

00:33:23.260 Al Jazeera.

00:33:26.160 And I had to read

00:33:27.040 about it in

00:33:27.600 Spectator.

00:33:29.640 What country is

00:33:30.540 the Spectator?

00:33:31.220 I don't even know

00:33:31.580 what country that is.

00:33:32.760 Is that America?

00:33:34.200 Oh, Newsmax is

00:33:35.000 covering it,

00:33:35.480 somebody says.

00:33:36.640 UK.

00:33:37.520 Spectator's UK.

00:33:38.160 Well, there's

00:33:44.200 something disturbing

00:33:45.100 about how well

00:33:46.000 this is being

00:33:46.700 hidden from

00:33:47.420 American public.

00:33:49.280 And in fact,

00:33:50.460 if I hadn't seen

00:33:51.580 Cernovich's tweets,

00:33:54.080 I don't even think

00:33:55.020 I would have

00:33:55.400 noticed it.

00:33:56.580 Because it was

00:33:57.100 so silent in the

00:33:58.160 headlines that I

00:33:59.000 actually wouldn't

00:33:59.580 have noticed.

00:34:01.500 So somebody says

00:34:02.520 it's on CNN.

00:34:03.620 So is it on the

00:34:04.360 network?

00:34:05.680 Because the

00:34:06.340 news page on

00:34:07.980 the web is

00:34:08.580 just one little

00:34:09.220 mention of it.

00:34:10.000 It is mentioned,

00:34:11.340 but it looks

00:34:12.240 underplayed.

00:34:14.720 And maybe it

00:34:15.460 should be.

00:34:16.300 Because I have

00:34:17.800 mixed feelings

00:34:18.700 about civilian

00:34:21.020 casualties in

00:34:22.000 war if you're

00:34:23.500 targeting terrorists.

00:34:27.820 I mean, you

00:34:28.820 have to make

00:34:29.740 horrible choices,

00:34:31.460 and I tend to

00:34:32.720 be fairly

00:34:33.400 forgiving for

00:34:34.260 the people who

00:34:34.760 have to make

00:34:35.140 horrible choices.

00:34:36.440 It's war.

00:34:36.900 people die.

00:34:39.920 It's tragic.

00:34:41.260 And there's just

00:34:41.920 nothing that's

00:34:42.460 going to change

00:34:42.880 that.

00:34:43.880 Well, here's

00:34:44.320 something interesting.

00:34:48.920 There has been

00:34:49.820 one death from

00:34:52.180 the Pfizer vaccine

00:34:53.660 itself, maybe.

00:34:55.840 So it's confirmed

00:34:56.820 that the vaccination

00:34:57.600 caused this one

00:34:58.580 death.

00:34:59.220 But it's in New

00:34:59.860 Zealand, which I

00:35:00.740 find interesting.

00:35:02.000 Because I don't

00:35:02.540 have the numbers

00:35:03.280 yet, but New

00:35:03.960 Zealand is obviously

00:35:04.780 doing vaccinations,

00:35:05.660 but what makes

00:35:06.380 them unique is

00:35:07.820 that they're

00:35:08.400 closed up tight

00:35:10.000 from the virus

00:35:11.760 itself.

00:35:12.640 So they had

00:35:13.060 one case and

00:35:13.900 they closed the

00:35:14.560 country down

00:35:15.820 again, right,

00:35:16.300 for one case.

00:35:17.300 So what makes

00:35:17.840 New Zealand

00:35:18.280 interesting is

00:35:19.220 that if there

00:35:20.000 are vaccination

00:35:20.840 complications,

00:35:21.940 we should be

00:35:23.680 able to see

00:35:24.080 them more

00:35:24.740 cleanly in

00:35:25.620 New Zealand

00:35:26.040 than anywhere

00:35:26.660 else, right?

00:35:27.540 Because you

00:35:28.100 won't be seeing

00:35:28.720 any coronavirus

00:35:30.560 deaths.

00:35:31.340 deaths, so

00:35:32.300 they should

00:35:32.660 have zero

00:35:33.200 deaths, and

00:35:35.660 then, in

00:35:37.800 theory, they

00:35:39.040 would have a

00:35:39.500 pretty good

00:35:39.940 visibility on

00:35:40.860 how many people

00:35:41.460 the vaccinations

00:35:42.300 killed.

00:35:43.780 Now, they have

00:35:44.560 one case that

00:35:46.300 it looks like

00:35:47.480 it's highly

00:35:48.820 likely, because

00:35:49.880 there was some

00:35:50.280 myocarditis

00:35:51.780 involved, and I

00:35:52.580 guess that's the

00:35:53.340 tell for the

00:35:54.440 vaccinations being

00:35:55.380 the problem.

00:35:56.860 But there were

00:35:58.320 comorbidities

00:35:59.140 involved, and

00:35:59.960 it's not so

00:36:00.520 clear.

00:36:01.640 Maybe the

00:36:02.160 vaccine was

00:36:03.060 part of it.

00:36:04.480 Maybe it

00:36:04.860 wasn't.

00:36:06.600 But I keep an

00:36:07.480 eye on New

00:36:08.020 Zealand vaccination

00:36:09.200 related deaths.

00:36:11.180 We do believe

00:36:12.040 that there aren't

00:36:12.460 many of them, but

00:36:13.460 whatever there are,

00:36:14.460 it will be

00:36:14.800 highlighted there.

00:36:16.200 Now, again, if

00:36:17.620 you're going to

00:36:17.980 turn it off, because

00:36:18.700 I mentioned

00:36:19.180 vaccines, I'm

00:36:20.580 not promoting

00:36:21.120 it.

00:36:21.580 I'm just telling

00:36:22.200 you where we

00:36:23.300 might have some

00:36:23.880 good data.

00:36:25.040 That's all.

00:36:26.860 And then

00:36:29.320 lastly, lastly,

00:36:33.100 that was

00:36:33.600 lastly.

00:36:35.740 I'd like to

00:36:36.580 get to all the

00:36:37.340 notes on my

00:36:38.020 last page, but

00:36:39.440 there aren't

00:36:40.040 any.

00:36:40.600 It prints

00:36:41.040 it in an

00:36:41.320 empty page.

00:36:44.300 Yeah, one

00:36:45.080 death can

00:36:45.740 never be

00:36:46.680 clear.

00:36:47.160 That is

00:36:47.660 correct.

00:36:48.160 You probably

00:36:48.660 would need

00:36:49.120 some number

00:36:49.800 of deaths

00:36:50.480 to give

00:36:51.840 some kind

00:36:52.280 of statistical

00:36:53.040 confidence, but

00:36:54.620 yeah, one

00:36:55.340 death can

00:36:55.800 never really

00:36:56.260 tell you

00:36:56.520 anything.

00:36:56.860 But it

00:36:59.040 would tell

00:36:59.440 you something

00:36:59.860 if there

00:37:00.400 were so

00:37:00.760 few of

00:37:01.220 them that

00:37:02.240 you couldn't

00:37:02.640 tell anything,

00:37:03.600 right?

00:37:04.680 If we get

00:37:05.800 to the end

00:37:06.200 of this and

00:37:06.680 we have

00:37:07.000 one possible

00:37:09.360 death in

00:37:09.900 New Zealand

00:37:10.360 for vaccinations,

00:37:12.020 because remember,

00:37:12.660 this is a

00:37:13.080 national story.

00:37:13.880 It means it's

00:37:14.320 the first one,

00:37:15.320 I think.

00:37:16.560 Maybe we just

00:37:17.420 don't know about

00:37:18.040 any others.

00:37:18.860 But if you

00:37:19.200 only had one,

00:37:20.920 how many

00:37:21.520 people in

00:37:21.980 New Zealand

00:37:22.400 have gotten

00:37:22.900 a vaccination?

00:37:23.900 Millions?

00:37:24.340 Would you

00:37:25.840 say that

00:37:26.180 millions have

00:37:26.880 been vaccinated

00:37:27.520 in New

00:37:27.900 Zealand so

00:37:28.780 far?

00:37:29.800 Probably.

00:37:31.980 What's it

00:37:32.520 say?

00:37:35.600 Scott pretends

00:37:36.580 Alex doesn't

00:37:37.460 exist.

00:37:38.120 Sad.

00:37:39.200 You talk about

00:37:39.760 Alex Jones.

00:37:41.740 I don't pretend

00:37:42.660 he doesn't

00:37:43.160 exist.

00:37:43.720 I've been on

00:37:44.140 his show.

00:37:44.880 I like Alex

00:37:45.460 Jones.

00:37:45.740 That doesn't

00:37:49.320 mean he's

00:37:49.620 right about

00:37:50.000 everything.

00:37:50.760 But I say

00:37:51.320 that about

00:37:51.660 everybody.

00:37:55.220 I've said

00:37:55.840 this before.

00:37:57.000 If you

00:37:57.620 can't compliment

00:37:58.460 somebody you

00:37:59.080 disagree on,

00:38:00.260 then you

00:38:00.520 should check

00:38:01.720 yourself for

00:38:02.420 bias.

00:38:04.020 So I don't

00:38:04.760 agree, of

00:38:05.300 course, with

00:38:05.760 everything that

00:38:06.320 Alex Jones

00:38:06.780 says.

00:38:07.520 But he's a

00:38:08.880 nice guy.

00:38:10.120 I like him.

00:38:11.540 Very kind to

00:38:12.300 me.

00:38:12.940 Very generous

00:38:13.680 when I

00:38:14.580 interacted with

00:38:15.300 him.

00:38:15.740 And very

00:38:16.900 likable.

00:38:18.320 And obviously

00:38:19.120 very successful.

00:38:21.340 So Andy,

00:38:23.040 you know,

00:38:23.400 reportedly he's

00:38:24.100 been right

00:38:24.660 about a

00:38:25.240 number of

00:38:25.580 things.

00:38:26.640 So I have

00:38:30.220 some good

00:38:30.760 things to say

00:38:31.280 about that.

00:38:36.580 Yes, the

00:38:37.380 head of the

00:38:37.840 UN Climate

00:38:38.580 Summit, I'm

00:38:39.860 seeing in the

00:38:40.340 comments,

00:38:40.800 reminding me,

00:38:41.820 blocked the

00:38:42.840 nuclear energy

00:38:43.800 from attending.

00:38:44.520 that's right.

00:38:46.500 There's a

00:38:46.960 UN Summit

00:38:47.620 about the

00:38:48.100 climate, the

00:38:49.620 climate, and

00:38:50.860 they decided that

00:38:51.720 it wouldn't be

00:38:52.580 appropriate to

00:38:53.240 have the

00:38:53.560 nuclear industry

00:38:55.140 there.

00:38:56.460 I remind you,

00:38:58.400 the nuclear

00:38:58.860 industry is

00:38:59.560 probably the

00:39:00.560 only hope we

00:39:01.320 have of

00:39:02.340 changing anything

00:39:03.040 about climate

00:39:03.640 change, as

00:39:04.680 well as

00:39:05.240 controlling space

00:39:06.320 someday.

00:39:07.420 It's the only

00:39:07.940 hope we have.

00:39:09.120 Now, maybe

00:39:09.580 somebody will

00:39:10.120 invent something.

00:39:11.340 that's a

00:39:12.380 new hope, but

00:39:13.360 at the

00:39:13.620 moment, it's

00:39:15.580 the only hope

00:39:16.020 we have for

00:39:16.420 water

00:39:16.820 desalinization,

00:39:17.920 which will be

00:39:18.360 required, and

00:39:19.540 electricity that's

00:39:20.480 dependable.

00:39:21.040 It's our only

00:39:21.440 hope, and the

00:39:22.600 UN is going to

00:39:23.300 exclude those

00:39:24.240 people.

00:39:28.320 On up, says

00:39:29.220 Scott, take a

00:39:30.060 vacation for

00:39:31.260 everyone.

00:39:33.500 Well, maybe I'll

00:39:34.600 do that, but it

00:39:35.360 won't stop me from

00:39:36.580 live streaming on

00:39:38.380 vacation.

00:39:38.860 when you put

00:39:43.280 the money

00:39:43.620 filter on it,

00:39:44.320 everything looks

00:39:44.840 different, right?

00:39:45.860 So follow the

00:39:46.640 money.

00:39:46.980 That probably

00:39:47.460 has something to

00:39:48.100 do with the

00:39:48.580 nuclear industry

00:39:50.280 being frozen

00:39:50.880 out.

00:39:55.560 Yes.

00:39:57.620 All right, I'm

00:39:58.500 going to run,

00:39:59.920 and I will see

00:40:01.440 you tomorrow.

00:40:03.440 Talk to you

00:40:03.940 then.
