Transcript

00:00:00.000 Well, good morning, everybody.
00:00:06.020 It's time for the best part of the day.
00:00:09.260 The part that makes everybody happier, everybody richer,
00:00:13.540 everybody a little better looking.
00:00:15.880 Yeah, have you noticed that people who watch
00:00:17.840 Coffee with Scott Adams,
00:00:20.360 they're a little bit sexier than other people, aren't they?
00:00:23.920 Yeah, they are. You know they are. You know it.
00:00:27.060 You can see them on the streets.
00:00:28.320 You'd be walking down the street.
00:00:30.860 There'd be a whole crowd of people.
00:00:32.720 You look at the crowd of people, and you say,
00:00:34.460 ordinary, ordinary, ordinary.
00:00:37.700 And then you'll see somebody who watches the simultaneous sip.
00:00:41.260 You won't even know it.
00:00:42.920 They'll be complete strangers, but they're almost glowing.
00:00:48.000 Almost like you could see their aura.
00:00:51.120 Yeah, no, it's true.
00:00:54.020 You just look for it. You'll start to see it.
00:00:56.020 Yeah, those who come here early and enjoy the simultaneous sip,
00:01:00.100 you have a big advantage in life over those who don't.
00:01:03.340 And if you'd like to take it up to another level,
00:01:05.820 almost to the level of unfair,
00:01:08.980 all you need is a cup or mug or a glass,
00:01:11.280 a tank or chelsea,
00:01:12.140 a canteen jug or flask.
00:01:15.000 A vessel of what kind?
00:01:16.960 Any kind.
00:01:18.380 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:01:21.180 I like coffee.
00:01:24.320 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:01:27.320 The dopamine.
00:01:28.980 Hit it today.
00:01:30.660 The thing that makes everything better.
00:01:32.800 Yeah.
00:01:33.420 It's called the simultaneous sip.
00:01:35.220 And watch it do its thing.
00:01:36.640 Go.
00:01:36.880 Go.
00:01:41.380 Now, some of you can drink tea and pretend it's coffee.
00:01:48.760 That's fine, too.
00:01:49.500 Yeah, let's go, Brandon.
00:01:51.840 Let's go, Brandon.
00:01:54.400 Well, Rasmussen did a poll,
00:01:57.380 asked people if people are more divided after Biden
00:02:00.320 or less divided.
00:02:02.140 Now, thank goodness.
00:02:04.040 Thank goodness we got President Biden
00:02:07.640 to bring the country together.
00:02:10.860 Dare I say, unite us.
00:02:13.460 Yes.
00:02:14.200 And how's he doing?
00:02:16.080 First year on the job,
00:02:17.340 Joe Biden has...
00:02:19.500 Well, according to the Rasmussen poll,
00:02:22.020 64% of people polled said we're more divided.
00:02:28.840 Hmm.
00:02:29.920 Well, that's not good.
00:02:31.940 But 11% said we're more united.
00:02:35.680 So 11%.
00:02:36.980 Working out great.
00:02:39.220 43% said Trump would make it even worse.
00:02:46.460 So according to this poll,
00:02:50.040 I may be reading too much into it,
00:02:52.520 but I believe that we've shown that every president,
00:02:56.080 no matter who they are, makes everything worse.
00:02:58.080 Sort of a Zeno's paradox kind of a situation.
00:03:04.940 Every president, no matter who it is,
00:03:07.800 just makes things 50% worse.
00:03:11.860 Forever.
00:03:13.340 Wherever you are,
00:03:14.780 and whoever the next president is,
00:03:16.920 I'm sorry, it's going to be 50% worse than it was.
00:03:19.740 So I'm not sure that this is the kind of poll
00:03:23.440 that's telling us much more than how people want you
00:03:29.220 to know the answer to the question, basically.
00:03:33.080 Because I don't know that you can measure how divided we are.
00:03:37.760 Is that even a thing?
00:03:39.900 Can you even measure that?
00:03:41.580 How divided we are?
00:03:42.660 Kind of subjective.
00:03:45.740 Well, you all know Facebook had a major outage yesterday
00:03:49.820 that reportedly cost Mark Zuckerberg $7 billion.
00:03:55.900 $7 billion.
00:03:59.440 5% of his wealth.
00:04:02.980 And do you think he noticed?
00:04:05.820 He probably had to borrow money for lunch.
00:04:08.240 But did he really lose $7 billion?
00:04:10.220 No, no.
00:04:12.660 On paper, something went down.
00:04:16.180 It'll go back up next week.
00:04:17.480 So he didn't lose anything.
00:04:22.240 There's something in this story that is hilarious.
00:04:26.560 How many of you know the hilarious part
00:04:29.000 of the Facebook outage story?
00:04:31.260 So they were out for hours, and it cost them.
00:04:33.700 They lost $160 million of revenue,
00:04:36.540 and it was a pretty big deal.
00:04:38.240 But how many of you know the funny part of it?
00:04:42.660 Well, okay, you're close.
00:04:44.480 Somebody say it's an upgrade.
00:04:46.120 No, there's something funnier.
00:04:48.120 There's something funnier about this story,
00:04:50.160 and we don't know the details yet.
00:04:52.720 But there's something very funny about it.
00:04:55.000 You ready?
00:04:57.060 Let me just read this sentence.
00:05:00.280 I think this came from CNN.
00:05:01.660 The exact cause of the outage has not been confirmed by Facebook.
00:05:08.240 But one expert said the problem may have been caused by an internal error made by staff
00:05:13.900 that effectively erased the site from the Internet.
00:05:17.280 How do you erase the site from the Internet?
00:05:23.600 You do it this way.
00:05:25.760 Sean Graham Cunningham, the CTO of web security firm Cloudflare,
00:05:31.440 said Facebook made a series of updates to its border gateway protocol,
00:05:35.820 which caused it to, quote, disappear from the Internet.
00:05:38.400 Okay, now maybe it's because I'm the Dilbert cartoonist,
00:05:44.980 and I can see a whole month of material coming.
00:05:48.520 But here's the funny part.
00:05:52.020 In all likelihood, there's one employee somewhere
00:05:56.400 who knows they did this.
00:05:59.000 Somewhere, somewhere in the 700-some billion people,
00:06:11.540 there's one poor bastard who knows he pushed the wrong button
00:06:15.040 and made Facebook disappear from the Internet.
00:06:23.160 I'm trying to think of this poor guy's performance review in a few months.
00:06:36.200 He's going to be sitting down with his boss.
00:06:48.780 Sitting down with his boss.
00:06:53.160 How'd your quarter go?
00:06:59.740 So, what did you accomplish this quarter?
00:07:05.920 Well, we've been seeing a lot of bad publicity.
00:07:14.900 We've been seeing a lot of bad publicity about how Facebook is destroying youth.
00:07:23.160 Hurting people and hurting people's self-esteem.
00:07:30.000 It's causing a lot of damage.
00:07:33.980 But I stopped that shit.
00:07:40.320 So, here's the irony.
00:07:43.100 Whoever it is who pushed the wrong button
00:07:46.840 and erased Facebook from the Internet.
00:07:48.700 Whoever did that
00:07:52.500 did more good for the world
00:07:56.460 than any politician
00:07:59.080 except maybe Rand Paul
00:08:00.440 for the last year.
00:08:04.660 It's the only good thing
00:08:05.920 that anybody's ever done at Facebook.
00:08:09.740 And he's going to get fired for it.
00:08:11.580 Well, if you couldn't tell,
00:08:19.820 I finally got enough good sleep last night.
00:08:25.840 I just love this story.
00:08:28.500 All right.
00:08:29.920 Let's move on.
00:08:30.720 So, the $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill,
00:08:37.240 how do you think that's doing?
00:08:40.140 How's that doing?
00:08:42.680 Everybody think that's going to slide right through?
00:08:46.080 You know, it's free.
00:08:47.960 It's $3.5 trillion,
00:08:49.980 but that sounds like a lot.
00:08:52.140 But you've got to spread it over 10 years.
00:08:55.000 And then you have to appreciate
00:08:58.900 that not only is it spread over 10 years,
00:09:01.440 so not nearly as bad,
00:09:04.600 but it's free.
00:09:09.900 According to Biden,
00:09:10.860 it pays for itself.
00:09:12.080 So, if it's free,
00:09:14.400 why can't you get that approved?
00:09:16.520 But Manchin and Sinema,
00:09:18.560 the two senators,
00:09:19.300 are holding tight.
00:09:20.340 And who besides me
00:09:24.460 predicted that this would never get assigned?
00:09:28.380 Do you remember?
00:09:30.000 Give me a fact check
00:09:31.380 in case anybody wonders
00:09:32.740 if I'm just making this up.
00:09:35.040 So, in the comments,
00:09:36.000 can you verify
00:09:36.680 that I've been saying for a long time
00:09:39.520 that this thing isn't going to get assigned?
00:09:42.500 You can verify that.
00:09:44.000 Has anybody else said that?
00:09:45.980 Has anybody else who's,
00:09:47.300 let's say, a prominent pundit
00:09:48.740 just said,
00:09:49.380 this isn't going to get assigned?
00:09:50.820 This is never going to happen.
00:09:53.700 Now, I don't know
00:09:54.440 if it'll get negotiated
00:09:55.680 down to a trillion or something.
00:09:59.400 So, Democrats,
00:10:01.480 would you like some advice?
00:10:04.260 This is free advice
00:10:05.460 for Democrats.
00:10:07.740 You ready?
00:10:08.880 Here's how to get
00:10:09.540 their infrastructure bill passed.
00:10:12.360 Not the full $3.5 trillion.
00:10:14.880 All right,
00:10:15.100 they're not going to get that passed.
00:10:16.120 But,
00:10:17.340 how to get something,
00:10:19.280 something passed.
00:10:20.280 Let me ask you this question,
00:10:22.060 and maybe you know the answer.
00:10:24.080 Of the $3.5 trillion
00:10:26.180 in infrastructure,
00:10:28.080 how much of the $3.5 trillion
00:10:29.980 goes toward fixing
00:10:32.400 our election systems
00:10:33.720 such that they could be
00:10:36.080 audited instantly
00:10:38.160 and we wouldn't have
00:10:39.140 any questions about
00:10:40.080 whether it was a fair election?
00:10:41.300 How much of the $3.5 trillion
00:10:45.620 goes to our most important infrastructure?
00:10:49.880 Oh, yeah, I said it.
00:10:51.160 Our most important infrastructure.
00:10:53.860 What's more important?
00:10:55.880 Your potholes
00:10:56.800 or your republic?
00:11:01.220 Which is the higher priority infrastructure?
00:11:04.320 It's not even close, right?
00:11:07.220 It's not even close.
00:11:09.140 So, here's what
00:11:10.160 the Democrats could do
00:11:11.960 to make their infrastructure bill
00:11:13.820 a little more palatable.
00:11:16.020 A little more palatable.
00:11:18.460 Put in a big part
00:11:20.120 that fixes
00:11:21.120 the most important infrastructure.
00:11:24.040 How about that?
00:11:25.780 Let's put some money in there
00:11:27.540 to fix the most important infrastructure,
00:11:30.140 the elections.
00:11:31.060 Because everything else
00:11:31.940 is subsidiary to that.
00:11:34.620 Now, that's not going to get you
00:11:36.220 all $3.5 trillion.
00:11:38.120 The Republicans aren't going to go for that.
00:11:40.060 But, do you think
00:11:41.360 you could get some Republicans on board
00:11:43.300 for a trillion
00:11:45.140 plus election reform?
00:11:48.440 One trillion plus election reform.
00:11:52.060 Who's against election improvements?
00:11:55.580 Does any...
00:11:56.260 Well, I mean, in public,
00:11:57.480 you can't say you're against it,
00:11:58.660 even if you are.
00:12:01.240 All right, that's my suggestion.
00:12:03.040 Fix that thing
00:12:03.940 by putting the election stuff in there
00:12:05.440 and hold tight.
00:12:06.720 I wouldn't say anything...
00:12:08.380 Let me say this again.
00:12:09.380 To Republicans,
00:12:11.380 don't say anything
00:12:12.260 that doesn't have election
00:12:13.360 reform in it
00:12:15.100 as part of the infrastructure.
00:12:17.760 Don't say anything.
00:12:18.620 Don't fix a road.
00:12:20.300 Don't give anybody Wi-Fi.
00:12:21.540 Don't do anything.
00:12:22.880 Election reform.
00:12:24.160 Number one priority.
00:12:25.680 Get that in there
00:12:26.560 and then you can negotiate.
00:12:27.720 But if that's not in there,
00:12:29.440 don't even negotiate.
00:12:30.820 There's nothing to talk about.
00:12:32.400 You can't have an infrastructure bill
00:12:33.820 that ignores the most important infrastructure.
00:12:36.780 Right?
00:12:37.000 I mean, that's just stupid.
00:12:38.880 There's some things you could say,
00:12:41.020 are, well,
00:12:41.700 I'm philosophically opposed
00:12:43.340 or I don't like this much socialism.
00:12:45.980 And those are sort of,
00:12:47.620 you know,
00:12:48.160 fair,
00:12:48.940 fair kinds of arguments.
00:12:51.460 But it's not a philosophical debate
00:12:54.020 to say that we have
00:12:55.260 skepticism in this country
00:12:57.180 about the election integrity.
00:12:59.500 I mean,
00:12:59.680 nobody would argue
00:13:00.360 that there is skepticism.
00:13:02.180 And that that needs to get fixed
00:13:03.700 to have a healthy republic.
00:13:05.840 Those are not really arguable points.
00:13:08.680 So I would say
00:13:09.860 that an infrastructure bill
00:13:11.240 that doesn't have fixing
00:13:13.060 the most important infrastructure in it
00:13:15.420 is just stupid.
00:13:17.860 So stop calling it,
00:13:19.300 you know,
00:13:20.060 whatever it is,
00:13:20.780 different priorities.
00:13:21.820 It's just stupid.
00:13:23.720 Put the infrastructure
00:13:24.820 in the infrastructure bill
00:13:25.960 and maybe you got a chance.
00:13:28.680 All right.
00:13:32.280 There was a black ex-Tesla worker
00:13:34.800 who won a court case.
00:13:36.860 He claimed he was racially abused
00:13:38.900 every day at a California plant,
00:13:41.100 including being called the N-word
00:13:43.120 and he was awarded $137 million.
00:13:47.280 Now,
00:13:47.780 when you read that headline,
00:13:48.780 if you did,
00:13:49.560 or maybe you're hearing it
00:13:50.520 for the first time,
00:13:52.060 did you not say to yourself,
00:13:53.740 this looks a little exaggerated,
00:13:57.160 meaning that the size of the award
00:13:58.640 seems crazy,
00:14:00.300 you know,
00:14:00.820 and of size with the crime.
00:14:03.400 But also,
00:14:04.180 I mean,
00:14:04.500 really,
00:14:05.300 really,
00:14:05.700 this guy was abused every day.
00:14:07.980 Every day.
00:14:09.180 Really,
00:14:09.580 every day he got racially abused.
00:14:13.540 And then,
00:14:14.180 so,
00:14:14.500 you know,
00:14:14.760 I'm totally skeptical.
00:14:16.200 Read the headline.
00:14:17.060 I go,
00:14:17.260 oh,
00:14:17.580 God,
00:14:17.900 it's one of these stories of,
00:14:19.660 you know,
00:14:20.020 somebody couldn't take a joke
00:14:21.980 or something like that.
00:14:22.960 And then I read the actual claims.
00:14:25.300 Are you ready for this?
00:14:26.780 These are the things that,
00:14:27.900 apparently,
00:14:28.200 the court found credible.
00:14:30.620 Right?
00:14:30.920 So,
00:14:31.200 the court found these claims credible.
00:14:34.200 Here's what he claimed.
00:14:35.320 I think this was from,
00:14:39.280 was it from Fox News?
00:14:41.260 I forget.
00:14:42.380 The 52-year-old,
00:14:44.160 he was a contracted elevator operator.
00:14:47.160 He claimed that fellow employees
00:14:48.600 drew swastikas
00:14:50.280 and left racist graffiti around the plant
00:14:53.460 while he said
00:14:54.900 one of his supervisors
00:14:56.080 drew a person with a black face
00:14:58.560 and a bone in his hair
00:15:00.420 and wrote boo,
00:15:02.740 short for jigaboo.
00:15:04.060 The supervisor then allegedly told him
00:15:07.720 he,
00:15:08.520 quote,
00:15:08.880 couldn't take a joke.
00:15:13.860 When Diaz confronted him,
00:15:17.040 Diaz contended that none of his supervisors
00:15:18.960 stepped in to stop the abuse.
00:15:20.580 Is any of that true?
00:15:22.380 I mean,
00:15:22.820 it sounds like it passed the test
00:15:24.520 for the jury.
00:15:29.540 But,
00:15:30.580 have any of you ever been
00:15:32.620 in any kind of environment like this?
00:15:35.280 Because I,
00:15:35.840 I've never been anywhere near
00:15:37.140 anything like this.
00:15:39.660 You know,
00:15:39.900 I live in California.
00:15:41.340 This,
00:15:41.580 this factory is,
00:15:43.300 you know,
00:15:43.760 just down the road.
00:15:46.860 And,
00:15:47.460 why could I live here
00:15:48.900 all my adult life?
00:15:50.660 I've never been anywhere near,
00:15:52.820 never where,
00:15:53.600 never anywhere near
00:15:54.800 any kind of behavior like this.
00:15:56.840 Have you?
00:15:57.400 I'm just looking at your comments
00:16:01.200 to see if any of you
00:16:02.840 have ever been near
00:16:03.860 this kind of behavior.
00:16:06.260 I'm not seeing any yeses.
00:16:09.340 Oh,
00:16:09.800 I saw yes.
00:16:11.180 Saw some more yeses.
00:16:13.340 Saw another yes.
00:16:15.060 I'm seeing some yeses.
00:16:17.140 Somebody said no
00:16:17.780 and I've worked in lots of blue collar.
00:16:19.400 That's sort of what I was looking for.
00:16:23.220 Somebody says no
00:16:24.160 and they've been to the deep south.
00:16:25.580 I don't know.
00:16:28.220 This is shocking.
00:16:30.580 And I'm seeing yeses.
00:16:32.340 So that,
00:16:32.740 all of you who said no,
00:16:35.460 you know,
00:16:35.640 you had the same experience
00:16:36.580 I have apparently,
00:16:38.180 just be aware.
00:16:39.860 There are people
00:16:40.640 who are probably credible
00:16:41.840 who are saying yes.
00:16:44.860 That this is real.
00:16:46.520 It's a little wake up call,
00:16:47.560 isn't it?
00:16:48.480 That,
00:16:48.880 you know,
00:16:49.060 you think things are good
00:16:49.960 but you're thinking
00:16:50.480 in terms of the average.
00:16:52.240 Right?
00:16:52.840 On average,
00:16:53.680 things are pretty good
00:16:54.480 relative to where
00:16:56.000 they used to be,
00:16:56.680 right?
00:16:57.000 Lots of improvement needed.
00:16:59.060 But man,
00:16:59.800 you see something like this
00:17:00.840 and you say,
00:17:01.380 if any of this
00:17:01.960 is even close to true,
00:17:04.420 it does kind of shock me.
00:17:06.880 I am a little bit shocked.
00:17:09.180 So in that case,
00:17:10.300 the $137 million is fine.
00:17:13.380 You know,
00:17:13.660 but if the claims are true,
00:17:16.340 suddenly the amount of money
00:17:17.720 doesn't look so high anymore,
00:17:18.960 does it?
00:17:19.300 Because,
00:17:20.220 you know,
00:17:20.460 the reason is punitive.
00:17:21.540 It's not about
00:17:22.140 rewarding this guy.
00:17:24.000 It's just punitive.
00:17:26.320 All right.
00:17:27.280 CNN has turned on Facebook,
00:17:29.260 which is interesting
00:17:30.020 in itself
00:17:30.720 because,
00:17:31.580 you know,
00:17:31.780 you would imagine them both
00:17:32.920 being left-leaning
00:17:34.760 organizations.
00:17:36.720 But in a
00:17:37.520 opinion piece
00:17:38.640 by Cara
00:17:39.280 Alemo,
00:17:41.080 Alemo,
00:17:42.200 I wish people had
00:17:44.220 some way for me
00:17:46.120 to pronounce their names
00:17:46.820 correctly.
00:17:49.560 So here's what she said
00:17:50.880 in an opinion piece
00:17:51.840 on CNN.
00:17:52.520 And the fact that it's on CNN
00:17:53.700 seems important,
00:17:55.520 right?
00:17:56.760 She said,
00:17:57.680 thus the debate
00:17:58.420 we should be having
00:17:59.260 isn't about whether
00:18:00.500 Facebook knows
00:18:01.480 its product is harmful.
00:18:03.400 These facts
00:18:04.080 were established
00:18:04.860 by independent researchers
00:18:06.280 long ago.
00:18:08.020 So a CNN opinion piece
00:18:09.540 is offering
00:18:10.520 as an established fact
00:18:12.420 that even Facebook
00:18:13.640 would agree to
00:18:14.420 that independent researchers
00:18:16.420 say that Facebook
00:18:17.220 is harmful.
00:18:19.780 Just a statement.
00:18:20.760 It's just harmful.
00:18:24.440 And so she says,
00:18:25.820 rather,
00:18:26.120 the question we should
00:18:26.780 be asking ourselves
00:18:27.500 is why Americans
00:18:28.660 are still spending
00:18:30.000 so much time
00:18:30.760 of their lives
00:18:32.020 on it
00:18:32.520 when it's making them
00:18:33.780 unhappy
00:18:34.280 and divided.
00:18:35.120 So we know
00:18:37.720 that Facebook
00:18:38.320 is harmful.
00:18:40.060 Why are people
00:18:40.880 spending so much time
00:18:41.780 on it?
00:18:43.060 Now again,
00:18:43.800 the big story here
00:18:44.640 is just that Facebook
00:18:45.540 is reporting it
00:18:46.540 or not reporting it
00:18:47.680 but putting this
00:18:48.820 opinion piece
00:18:49.660 on their site.
00:18:51.380 So, you know,
00:18:52.940 the left is fractured.
00:18:54.120 Not only the progressives
00:18:55.240 versus the Pelosi types
00:18:57.360 but even the Facebooks
00:19:00.080 versus the CNNs now.
00:19:01.580 Not really on the same
00:19:02.480 side anymore.
00:19:03.500 So when Rasmussen
00:19:04.520 did that poll,
00:19:05.320 are we more
00:19:05.940 or less divided?
00:19:07.820 Interestingly,
00:19:08.600 we're more fractured.
00:19:09.580 I don't know
00:19:11.200 that we're more divided
00:19:12.260 but we're more fractured.
00:19:13.980 Does that make sense?
00:19:15.100 Instead of two teams,
00:19:17.160 it's more like,
00:19:18.040 you know,
00:19:18.420 four or six teams
00:19:19.620 or something different.
00:19:21.540 So I don't know
00:19:22.300 if that's more divided
00:19:23.140 or more fractured
00:19:24.160 or is that the same thing?
00:19:28.540 But, of course,
00:19:29.380 the real reason
00:19:29.880 that we use Facebook
00:19:31.160 so much
00:19:31.660 is that many of us
00:19:32.900 can't avoid it.
00:19:34.420 You know,
00:19:34.660 you need it for business.
00:19:36.320 And it's addictive.
00:19:37.860 It's designed to be addictive.
00:19:39.700 So, of course,
00:19:40.460 it's harmful.
00:19:41.180 And, of course,
00:19:41.620 we do it.
00:19:42.860 Same as cigarettes.
00:19:44.540 Same as any other addiction.
00:19:46.480 Why do we treat
00:19:47.220 internet addiction
00:19:48.100 different than,
00:19:49.160 say,
00:19:50.700 heroin addiction?
00:19:52.000 Why do we treat
00:19:52.820 them differently?
00:19:55.500 You know,
00:19:55.840 they're not the same,
00:19:56.740 of course,
00:19:57.360 but it feels like
00:19:59.120 the concept is similar.
00:20:01.220 You know,
00:20:01.700 I'm not entirely sure
00:20:02.940 that Instagram
00:20:03.580 in particular
00:20:04.380 will survive
00:20:05.380 at least in its
00:20:07.040 current form.
00:20:08.300 I think Instagram
00:20:08.980 in particular
00:20:09.700 seems like
00:20:10.280 the more dangerous
00:20:11.580 one, frankly.
00:20:13.580 So, we'll see.
00:20:16.500 New York teachers
00:20:17.620 protested,
00:20:19.080 many of them,
00:20:19.960 and they were
00:20:20.480 shouting,
00:20:21.580 F Joe Biden
00:20:22.460 and F Bill de Blasio.
00:20:25.580 So, thousands
00:20:26.300 of teachers
00:20:26.960 lost their job
00:20:27.980 because of the
00:20:28.560 vaccine mandate.
00:20:30.500 But, let's put
00:20:31.880 some context
00:20:32.520 on this.
00:20:33.760 Does everybody
00:20:34.200 like context?
00:20:34.880 I had some
00:20:37.500 people arguing
00:20:38.180 against context
00:20:40.060 today.
00:20:43.140 Her argument
00:20:44.060 was that
00:20:44.720 if I asked
00:20:45.440 for context,
00:20:47.320 I was trying
00:20:49.400 to brainwash
00:20:50.400 them
00:20:50.640 or try to
00:20:52.500 convince them
00:20:52.960 of something
00:20:53.360 bad,
00:20:54.300 to which I say,
00:20:56.280 hmm,
00:20:57.060 I don't know
00:20:58.060 a situation
00:20:58.640 in which context
00:20:59.620 makes things
00:21:00.240 worse.
00:21:03.160 Is there one?
00:21:03.920 If you're
00:21:05.820 trying to
00:21:06.280 accurately
00:21:06.920 understand the
00:21:07.680 situation,
00:21:08.780 is there a
00:21:09.280 situation where
00:21:09.920 context makes
00:21:10.920 it worse?
00:21:12.300 There were
00:21:12.760 actually people
00:21:13.360 pushing back
00:21:14.980 because I asked
00:21:16.420 for context.
00:21:17.740 I'll tell you
00:21:18.160 why in a second.
00:21:19.480 So, the context
00:21:20.480 I asked for
00:21:21.060 is, are there
00:21:22.680 any other
00:21:23.220 mandatory
00:21:23.740 vaccinations
00:21:24.520 that teachers
00:21:25.300 also need
00:21:26.120 to have?
00:21:27.720 Was that
00:21:28.140 a fair
00:21:28.400 question?
00:21:28.780 Is it a
00:21:30.380 fair question
00:21:31.740 for context
00:21:32.700 to know if
00:21:34.140 there are
00:21:34.440 other vaccinations
00:21:35.340 that are required
00:21:36.260 of the teachers?
00:21:38.920 Now, the
00:21:39.740 critics said,
00:21:41.200 Scott,
00:21:41.700 Scott, Scott,
00:21:42.500 this is so
00:21:43.540 unfair,
00:21:43.940 you're just
00:21:44.460 trying to
00:21:44.840 get people
00:21:45.260 vaccinated.
00:21:46.300 That's your
00:21:46.700 real agenda,
00:21:48.340 is to embarrass
00:21:49.500 these people
00:21:50.080 and get people
00:21:50.880 vaccinated.
00:21:52.360 No, no.
00:21:54.340 You can't
00:21:54.960 read my mind
00:21:55.640 and that's
00:21:55.960 not my secret
00:21:56.660 agenda.
00:21:57.660 I really
00:21:58.000 don't care
00:21:58.440 if people
00:21:58.780 get vaccinated,
00:21:59.840 as long as
00:22:00.260 I am, right?
00:22:01.500 I care about
00:22:02.000 myself.
00:22:05.860 But here's
00:22:07.380 what the
00:22:07.660 context told
00:22:08.420 me.
00:22:09.060 First of all,
00:22:09.580 do you know
00:22:09.880 the answer
00:22:10.220 to the question?
00:22:11.280 In the
00:22:11.520 comments,
00:22:12.280 give me your
00:22:13.080 answer because
00:22:13.760 I don't
00:22:14.380 think anybody
00:22:15.080 has really
00:22:16.680 looked into
00:22:17.100 it too
00:22:17.640 deeply.
00:22:18.540 But are
00:22:18.940 there other
00:22:19.400 vaccinations
00:22:19.920 that teachers
00:22:21.040 in the United
00:22:21.520 States,
00:22:22.020 that might
00:22:22.280 differ by
00:22:22.740 state,
00:22:23.640 that are
00:22:24.320 required to
00:22:25.160 have?
00:22:26.920 I'm seeing
00:22:27.320 some people
00:22:27.760 say plenty,
00:22:29.280 saying yeses.
00:22:30.580 The answer
00:22:31.300 is sort of
00:22:31.980 no.
00:22:33.380 The answer
00:22:34.060 is sort of
00:22:34.720 no, meaning
00:22:35.340 there's nothing
00:22:36.000 that's enforced.
00:22:38.000 Right?
00:22:38.440 So based on
00:22:39.140 the answers
00:22:39.640 that I got,
00:22:40.940 my current
00:22:41.540 understanding,
00:22:42.120 which I
00:22:42.560 might revise
00:22:43.140 if I get
00:22:43.780 some new
00:22:44.100 information.
00:22:44.980 But it
00:22:45.220 looks like
00:22:45.700 there's some
00:22:46.880 mild preferences
00:22:48.820 in some
00:22:49.440 places, but
00:22:50.160 nobody's really
00:22:50.760 checking.
00:22:51.340 I don't think
00:22:51.740 any teacher
00:22:52.280 ever lost
00:22:52.940 a job
00:22:53.480 before now
00:22:54.860 for a
00:22:56.080 lack of
00:22:56.480 vaccination.
00:22:57.700 Is that
00:22:57.920 true?
00:22:59.180 Is there
00:22:59.820 any teacher
00:23:00.780 who ever
00:23:01.260 couldn't get
00:23:01.820 hired or
00:23:02.240 lost a job
00:23:02.980 for a
00:23:04.020 different kind
00:23:04.620 of vaccination
00:23:05.280 recently?
00:23:07.340 I don't think
00:23:08.100 that's the
00:23:08.480 thing.
00:23:09.340 So here's
00:23:10.040 your context.
00:23:12.600 Required
00:23:13.120 forced
00:23:13.820 vaccinations
00:23:14.460 of teachers
00:23:15.140 is not
00:23:17.260 a thing.
00:23:18.880 So if
00:23:19.300 it's a
00:23:19.560 thing now,
00:23:20.060 it's a
00:23:20.320 thing for
00:23:20.620 the first
00:23:20.940 time.
00:23:22.960 So I
00:23:23.720 think there's
00:23:25.060 still a
00:23:25.420 little bit
00:23:25.720 of disagreement
00:23:26.160 on fact.
00:23:27.220 So I
00:23:27.460 think you'll
00:23:27.860 find that
00:23:28.380 in some
00:23:28.720 places it
00:23:29.360 looks like
00:23:29.840 it's a
00:23:30.140 requirement,
00:23:30.820 but it's
00:23:31.040 not enforced.
00:23:31.960 So in
00:23:32.380 effect,
00:23:32.780 it's not.
00:23:34.060 This is
00:23:34.500 enforced.
00:23:36.240 Yeah.
00:23:37.080 So when
00:23:37.860 I ask for
00:23:38.360 context,
00:23:38.940 this is
00:23:39.680 what people
00:23:40.120 said,
00:23:40.840 Scott,
00:23:41.480 you bastard.
00:23:42.840 You're
00:23:43.240 trying to
00:23:43.640 make this
00:23:44.560 vaccination
00:23:45.200 like the
00:23:46.340 others.
00:23:46.980 And you
00:23:47.400 know they're
00:23:47.820 not the
00:23:48.200 same.
00:23:49.240 Damn it.
00:23:49.700 You know
00:23:50.060 they're not
00:23:50.380 the same.
00:23:51.180 Because this
00:23:51.720 one was
00:23:52.660 a faster
00:23:53.900 pace and
00:23:54.600 it didn't
00:23:54.840 have as
00:23:55.140 much time
00:23:55.720 so we
00:23:56.040 don't know
00:23:56.320 the safety.
00:23:57.180 It's a
00:23:57.420 different
00:23:57.620 technology.
00:23:58.760 Scott,
00:23:59.260 you bastard.
00:24:00.740 Stop
00:24:01.220 saying that
00:24:01.840 this
00:24:02.100 vaccination
00:24:02.700 is in
00:24:03.280 any way,
00:24:04.320 in any
00:24:04.900 way,
00:24:06.100 equivalent,
00:24:07.540 similar to
00:24:08.260 or we
00:24:09.220 should make
00:24:09.560 any
00:24:09.760 decisions
00:24:10.140 based on
00:24:10.880 what the
00:24:12.580 other
00:24:12.760 vaccinations
00:24:13.320 did.
00:24:13.660 They're
00:24:13.760 just
00:24:13.960 different.
00:24:15.500 True.
00:24:17.540 Can I
00:24:18.160 agree with
00:24:18.540 you?
00:24:19.660 Am I
00:24:20.180 allowed to
00:24:20.640 agree with
00:24:21.040 my critics?
00:24:21.680 Of course
00:24:22.160 they're
00:24:22.320 different.
00:24:23.340 This is
00:24:23.740 why I
00:24:24.120 say don't
00:24:24.480 use
00:24:24.700 analogies
00:24:25.340 to make
00:24:25.700 decisions.
00:24:26.960 Because it's
00:24:27.620 just a
00:24:27.940 different
00:24:28.160 thing.
00:24:29.760 But can
00:24:31.060 context ever
00:24:31.900 be useful?
00:24:33.920 What did
00:24:34.540 the context
00:24:35.160 tell me
00:24:35.720 once people
00:24:36.760 said no?
00:24:37.340 There's
00:24:37.580 no other
00:24:38.080 example where
00:24:40.020 it's been
00:24:40.420 old fool?
00:24:42.160 You old
00:24:42.460 fool?
00:24:43.280 There's no
00:24:43.820 other example
00:24:44.620 where we've
00:24:45.860 required
00:24:46.260 vaccinations.
00:24:47.780 So did
00:24:49.180 my context
00:24:50.100 support the
00:24:52.160 idea you
00:24:52.700 should get
00:24:53.040 vaccinated or
00:24:53.880 the teacher
00:24:54.260 should?
00:24:54.880 Or did
00:24:55.300 the context
00:24:56.080 support the
00:24:57.320 idea that
00:24:57.800 they shouldn't?
00:24:59.600 It supports
00:25:00.340 the idea that
00:25:00.920 they shouldn't.
00:25:01.820 Because it's
00:25:02.400 a new
00:25:02.640 precedent.
00:25:03.760 So if you
00:25:04.160 look at the
00:25:04.540 old precedent,
00:25:05.200 it's like we
00:25:06.160 were pretty
00:25:06.600 laissez-faire,
00:25:08.140 sort of let
00:25:09.060 it go.
00:25:10.360 So this is
00:25:11.160 different.
00:25:12.200 And I think
00:25:12.960 that's worth
00:25:13.540 noting.
00:25:14.400 Because if
00:25:15.060 this was in
00:25:15.700 any way
00:25:16.260 similar to
00:25:17.740 the past,
00:25:18.520 you'd feel
00:25:18.980 different about
00:25:19.540 it.
00:25:21.160 Than if you
00:25:21.860 knew, well,
00:25:22.260 this is
00:25:22.500 brand new.
00:25:23.280 Whoa, whoa,
00:25:23.760 this is
00:25:24.160 brand new.
00:25:25.140 So when I
00:25:25.880 asked for the
00:25:26.360 context, I
00:25:27.440 didn't ask for
00:25:28.100 the context
00:25:28.700 because it
00:25:29.280 would help
00:25:29.600 my argument,
00:25:30.640 which I don't
00:25:31.180 have, because
00:25:32.440 I don't have
00:25:32.820 an argument.
00:25:33.820 You're
00:25:34.040 imagining that
00:25:34.720 I'm trying
00:25:35.060 to persuade
00:25:35.520 you, and
00:25:35.860 I'm not.
00:25:36.200 I'm just
00:25:36.380 trying to
00:25:36.660 understand it.
00:25:38.240 So the
00:25:38.800 context went
00:25:39.620 exactly the
00:25:40.340 opposite of
00:25:40.860 the way that
00:25:41.180 my critics
00:25:41.760 thought it
00:25:42.480 would.
00:25:43.420 You thought
00:25:43.900 that when I
00:25:44.320 asked for
00:25:44.620 the context,
00:25:45.400 it was going
00:25:45.760 to support
00:25:46.140 the idea
00:25:46.540 that they
00:25:46.780 should get
00:25:47.040 vaccinated.
00:25:48.020 It didn't.
00:25:49.180 It was the
00:25:49.560 opposite.
00:25:50.560 That's why
00:25:50.960 you asked
00:25:51.260 for context.
00:25:52.400 You asked
00:25:53.000 for context
00:25:53.600 because you
00:25:54.240 don't know
00:25:55.100 which way
00:25:55.720 it's going
00:25:56.020 to point.
00:25:57.200 And by
00:25:57.500 the way,
00:25:57.820 context doesn't
00:25:59.140 answer the
00:25:59.800 story, because
00:26:00.600 again, they're
00:26:01.100 different vaccinations.
00:26:02.640 So you can't
00:26:04.000 take the
00:26:04.340 context and
00:26:04.940 just say,
00:26:05.420 okay, now we
00:26:06.720 know the
00:26:06.980 context.
00:26:08.100 We're all
00:26:08.640 done.
00:26:09.020 It doesn't
00:26:09.320 work like
00:26:09.680 that.
00:26:10.240 But it's part
00:26:10.900 of the larger
00:26:11.400 story, right?
00:26:12.660 It's part of
00:26:13.320 how we feel
00:26:13.980 about it.
00:26:14.480 It's part of
00:26:15.000 what we've
00:26:17.100 accepted in the
00:26:17.880 past.
00:26:18.260 It's part of
00:26:18.720 the story.
00:26:19.120 So let's know
00:26:21.080 about it.
00:26:21.500 So I would
00:26:22.560 say that the
00:26:23.000 context does
00:26:24.040 support the
00:26:25.640 teachers not
00:26:26.380 getting vaccinated.
00:26:27.840 Doesn't mean
00:26:28.300 that's the
00:26:28.660 right answer.
00:26:29.980 Doesn't mean
00:26:30.520 it's the right
00:26:30.980 answer, but
00:26:31.580 the context
00:26:32.120 would support
00:26:32.660 that.
00:26:35.260 All right.
00:26:39.580 Let's see,
00:26:40.200 what else
00:26:40.420 do we
00:26:40.600 have to
00:26:40.740 go on?
00:26:41.680 Playboy made
00:26:42.380 some news by
00:26:43.160 putting a man
00:26:44.020 on the cover.
00:26:45.740 A male cover
00:26:47.160 star dressed
00:26:48.760 as a bunny.
00:26:50.180 I'm not sure
00:26:50.860 what the guy's
00:26:51.740 deal was if
00:26:52.540 he was, I
00:26:53.800 don't know
00:26:54.040 what his
00:26:54.300 sexual identification
00:26:55.440 was, but it
00:26:56.480 was a male
00:26:57.340 dressed in a
00:26:58.580 bunny outfit.
00:27:02.400 Now, what
00:27:03.000 do you think
00:27:03.320 of that as
00:27:04.180 a strategy?
00:27:06.000 Is that a
00:27:06.620 good strategy
00:27:07.160 for Playboy?
00:27:09.080 Most of you
00:27:09.800 say it's
00:27:10.180 stupid, right?
00:27:11.180 I think almost
00:27:11.800 every person
00:27:12.400 here is going
00:27:12.800 to say that's
00:27:13.240 dumb, they've
00:27:13.960 destroyed their
00:27:14.520 brand.
00:27:15.660 Let me give
00:27:16.320 you the
00:27:16.600 counter-argument.
00:27:18.560 Okay?
00:27:19.140 Because you
00:27:19.520 think there's
00:27:19.960 no counter-argument
00:27:20.840 you probably
00:27:22.400 think there's
00:27:23.020 no way
00:27:24.600 this is
00:27:25.360 smart for
00:27:26.300 Playboy,
00:27:26.880 right?
00:27:28.100 All right,
00:27:28.380 here's the
00:27:28.700 counter-argument.
00:27:29.560 It's pretty
00:27:29.920 good.
00:27:30.680 I think you'll
00:27:31.160 be surprised
00:27:31.660 how good the
00:27:32.120 counter-argument
00:27:32.640 is.
00:27:33.720 Number one,
00:27:35.160 could Playboy
00:27:35.860 stay in
00:27:36.360 business by
00:27:37.300 continuing to
00:27:38.260 print nude
00:27:40.020 pictures of
00:27:42.160 women?
00:27:43.920 No.
00:27:45.440 So can we
00:27:46.620 all agree with
00:27:47.160 this?
00:27:47.420 that the
00:27:48.300 internet
00:27:48.880 makes it
00:27:50.580 ridiculous to
00:27:51.680 imagine that
00:27:52.240 Playboy could
00:27:52.880 exist as a
00:27:54.300 magazine that's
00:27:55.540 primary purpose
00:27:56.440 is to show
00:27:57.060 naked women.
00:27:58.180 We all agree
00:27:58.840 that Playboy
00:27:59.560 could not
00:28:00.200 exist the
00:28:02.060 way it was,
00:28:02.760 right?
00:28:03.380 So that's the
00:28:03.900 starting point.
00:28:04.700 They had to
00:28:05.260 change.
00:28:06.740 Now, how could
00:28:07.420 they change?
00:28:08.500 One way they
00:28:09.240 could change
00:28:09.660 is by trying
00:28:10.320 to be more
00:28:11.720 provocative than
00:28:12.640 the internet.
00:28:13.100 Is that
00:28:14.180 possible?
00:28:15.560 Could Playboy
00:28:16.300 be more
00:28:17.220 sexy than
00:28:18.600 the internet?
00:28:19.680 Can they
00:28:20.260 get some
00:28:20.600 attention by
00:28:21.180 being as
00:28:21.980 sexy as
00:28:22.560 the internet,
00:28:23.380 meaning as
00:28:24.080 much X-rated
00:28:24.800 stuff, etc.?
00:28:25.780 No.
00:28:26.620 No.
00:28:26.840 There's no
00:28:27.980 niche there.
00:28:29.220 There's no
00:28:29.580 place to go.
00:28:31.180 So agree with
00:28:32.160 me first that
00:28:34.080 Playboy as a
00:28:35.340 vehicle for
00:28:36.200 showing pictures
00:28:37.240 of naked
00:28:37.720 women was
00:28:38.380 dead.
00:28:39.880 It might have
00:28:40.760 had a few
00:28:41.120 months left,
00:28:41.700 but it was
00:28:42.000 dead.
00:28:42.420 So take
00:28:44.420 for the
00:28:45.720 assumption that
00:28:46.420 they were
00:28:47.400 dead.
00:28:48.180 So they had
00:28:48.580 to do
00:28:48.800 something.
00:28:49.640 Here's my
00:28:50.140 argument.
00:28:51.320 Playboy has
00:28:52.060 always been
00:28:52.580 at least three
00:28:53.340 magazines in
00:28:54.200 one.
00:28:55.700 People don't
00:28:56.220 realize it
00:28:56.800 because you
00:28:57.080 think about
00:28:57.960 the nudity.
00:28:59.320 But the
00:28:59.640 other parts of
00:29:00.240 Playboy was
00:29:00.800 it was a
00:29:01.160 lifestyle magazine
00:29:02.400 and it was a
00:29:03.800 lifestyle of
00:29:04.620 people very
00:29:05.260 open-minded.
00:29:06.500 The people
00:29:07.000 who had
00:29:08.660 just extreme
00:29:10.540 open-mindedness
00:29:11.460 about
00:29:11.760 progressive
00:29:12.940 anything.
00:29:14.260 So Playboy
00:29:14.740 was always
00:29:15.240 the ultimate
00:29:15.820 left-leaning
00:29:16.980 socially
00:29:17.860 progressive
00:29:18.500 vehicle in
00:29:20.080 addition to
00:29:21.980 having naked
00:29:22.560 pictures.
00:29:23.360 The third
00:29:24.020 thing they
00:29:24.420 were was
00:29:24.920 fairly serious.
00:29:26.540 The Playboy
00:29:27.180 interview was
00:29:28.780 usually a big
00:29:29.460 thing.
00:29:29.880 Jimmy Carter
00:29:30.520 was in the
00:29:31.020 Playboy
00:29:31.300 interview.
00:29:32.880 A lot
00:29:33.180 of news
00:29:35.600 was broken
00:29:36.260 with the
00:29:36.720 Playboy
00:29:37.040 interviews.
00:29:37.900 So the
00:29:38.120 Playboy
00:29:38.420 interview was
00:29:38.900 almost its own
00:29:39.520 magazine.
00:29:39.920 It was
00:29:40.660 within this
00:29:41.280 Naked People
00:29:42.300 magazine but
00:29:43.000 it was like
00:29:43.800 its own
00:29:44.120 entity.
00:29:45.760 By the way
00:29:46.220 I was once
00:29:47.260 the subject
00:29:47.880 of the
00:29:48.280 Playboy
00:29:48.660 interview years
00:29:51.340 ago when
00:29:51.760 Dilbert was a
00:29:52.480 bigger deal.
00:29:53.800 And I have to
00:29:54.780 tell you that
00:29:55.260 the Playboy
00:29:56.360 journalist and
00:29:58.040 the way they
00:29:58.460 handled it and
00:29:59.180 the fact-checking
00:29:59.980 was one of the
00:30:01.360 finest
00:30:01.900 journalistic
00:30:03.980 experiences I've
00:30:05.120 had, like
00:30:06.880 legitimately
00:30:07.540 journalistically
00:30:09.380 high quality
00:30:10.860 was Playboy.
00:30:13.520 Now most
00:30:13.940 people, you
00:30:14.560 don't think of
00:30:15.080 that.
00:30:15.400 You don't
00:30:15.620 think of
00:30:16.000 Playboy as
00:30:16.580 being a high
00:30:17.660 level journalistic
00:30:18.820 entity but it
00:30:20.260 is.
00:30:20.560 It always has
00:30:21.020 been.
00:30:21.740 Well I'm not
00:30:22.140 sure about
00:30:22.540 currently but it
00:30:23.580 always has
00:30:23.960 been.
00:30:25.100 So they had
00:30:26.060 to change and
00:30:26.820 they couldn't
00:30:27.200 give more
00:30:27.640 nudity but it
00:30:28.780 was always a
00:30:29.300 magazine about
00:30:30.500 progressive stuff
00:30:31.480 and about pushing
00:30:32.660 the boundaries and
00:30:33.540 about political
00:30:34.380 stuff.
00:30:35.360 I think this
00:30:36.340 was a Hail Mary
00:30:37.180 pass.
00:30:38.580 Meaning that
00:30:39.360 Playboy has to
00:30:40.300 turn into
00:30:40.740 something else to
00:30:42.080 survive.
00:30:42.960 There's no
00:30:43.280 question about
00:30:43.800 that.
00:30:44.480 And the only
00:30:45.080 thing they could
00:30:45.600 turn into was
00:30:47.100 something closer to
00:30:48.180 the other two
00:30:48.840 things that they
00:30:49.520 did besides
00:30:50.340 nudity.
00:30:51.340 And the other
00:30:51.840 two things they
00:30:52.520 did was get
00:30:53.140 your attention
00:30:53.700 and be relevant
00:30:55.720 about socially
00:30:57.100 provocative things
00:30:59.180 that are on the
00:31:00.460 edge.
00:31:01.900 Will it work?
00:31:03.540 I wouldn't bet
00:31:04.560 on it.
00:31:05.980 But did they
00:31:06.900 have a better
00:31:07.520 play?
00:31:09.400 Right?
00:31:10.220 Did Playboy have
00:31:12.080 a better play?
00:31:14.380 I don't think
00:31:15.300 so.
00:31:16.260 I think this was
00:31:17.040 the best of
00:31:17.920 their bad
00:31:18.380 options and
00:31:19.780 they executed
00:31:21.160 it really well.
00:31:23.140 They executed
00:31:24.400 this really well.
00:31:26.220 Why?
00:31:26.900 Because we're
00:31:27.260 talking about it.
00:31:28.720 We're talking
00:31:29.240 about it.
00:31:29.880 Suddenly Playboy
00:31:31.380 became relevant
00:31:33.220 the moment it
00:31:34.920 pissed you off.
00:31:36.360 As soon as you
00:31:37.120 were mad about
00:31:37.940 that cover,
00:31:38.760 what's happening
00:31:40.500 with all of my
00:31:41.440 traditions and
00:31:43.000 all that?
00:31:43.940 As soon as you
00:31:44.620 got mad about it
00:31:45.440 and thought they
00:31:45.940 were killing
00:31:46.300 themselves and
00:31:47.120 you get all
00:31:48.240 whatever you
00:31:49.140 thought about it,
00:31:49.940 it worked.
00:31:51.600 So Playboy
00:31:52.280 succeeded.
00:31:54.920 They succeeded
00:31:55.840 in pushing
00:31:56.500 themselves right
00:31:57.200 into the front
00:31:57.940 of a very,
00:32:00.140 let's say,
00:32:01.600 energy-filled
00:32:02.620 discussion about
00:32:04.140 gender and
00:32:05.400 sexuality and
00:32:06.220 stuff.
00:32:06.800 And they became
00:32:07.540 relevant by
00:32:09.460 making you a
00:32:10.200 little bit angry
00:32:10.840 or disturbed or
00:32:12.640 whatever it did
00:32:13.200 to you.
00:32:14.200 So that's my
00:32:15.020 argument.
00:32:15.840 My argument is
00:32:16.520 not that it will
00:32:17.140 work, but it
00:32:19.080 was their best
00:32:19.660 play and they
00:32:20.880 executed it well.
00:32:23.240 Disagreements?
00:32:24.120 In the comments.
00:32:25.640 Disagree?
00:32:28.240 I think I sold
00:32:29.120 you on that.
00:32:30.580 It looks like I
00:32:31.180 sold you on that.
00:32:32.100 Okay.
00:32:33.420 Let's talk about
00:32:34.420 China.
00:32:37.020 You remember
00:32:37.840 I gave Trump
00:32:39.440 credit, as many
00:32:40.760 did, for
00:32:41.840 negotiating a
00:32:42.520 trade deal with
00:32:43.640 China and
00:32:44.260 pushing hard and
00:32:45.360 there was all
00:32:46.200 that trade war
00:32:47.640 and stuff, but
00:32:48.240 at least he got
00:32:48.760 a good deal out
00:32:49.440 of it and
00:32:49.800 China was going
00:32:50.400 to buy a
00:32:50.840 bunch of our
00:32:51.580 farm goods,
00:32:52.400 et cetera.
00:32:53.720 And then they
00:32:54.460 just didn't.
00:32:57.320 That's what
00:32:57.820 happens when you
00:32:58.380 make a deal
00:32:58.920 with China.
00:33:00.140 You make a deal
00:33:01.060 and then they
00:33:01.580 just don't do
00:33:02.780 their part.
00:33:04.460 Why?
00:33:05.320 I don't know.
00:33:06.160 It doesn't
00:33:06.480 matter.
00:33:07.720 I'm sure they
00:33:08.340 would have found
00:33:08.720 some reason to
00:33:09.440 not do it.
00:33:10.700 They just
00:33:11.020 didn't do it.
00:33:12.560 So now Biden's
00:33:13.280 going to push
00:33:13.980 back.
00:33:15.260 So do we
00:33:16.120 give Trump a
00:33:17.420 win for
00:33:18.420 negotiating a
00:33:19.340 trade deal?
00:33:20.320 Well, maybe
00:33:22.100 only in the sense
00:33:23.240 that it exposed
00:33:24.260 China for what
00:33:25.200 it is.
00:33:26.760 So you had
00:33:27.560 to at least
00:33:28.400 make them
00:33:28.820 agree to a
00:33:29.460 deal and
00:33:31.180 then whether
00:33:31.680 they lived up
00:33:33.600 to the deal
00:33:34.000 is a second
00:33:34.560 question.
00:33:35.700 But I think
00:33:36.140 Trump's instinct
00:33:37.260 to get them
00:33:37.880 to agree to a
00:33:38.800 deal was right
00:33:39.460 and now we
00:33:40.820 can observe
00:33:41.260 that we can't
00:33:41.860 deal with them
00:33:42.320 because they
00:33:43.040 just didn't
00:33:43.380 keep their
00:33:43.720 deal.
00:33:44.600 Now I'm
00:33:44.900 sure if we
00:33:45.340 talked to
00:33:45.680 China they'd
00:33:46.120 have a
00:33:46.360 different opinion
00:33:46.880 of what's
00:33:47.440 going on here.
00:33:48.560 Probably would
00:33:49.200 say we didn't
00:33:49.740 do our part
00:33:50.280 of the deal
00:33:50.660 so maybe part
00:33:51.440 of this story
00:33:51.900 is missing
00:33:52.340 if we're
00:33:52.680 being fair.
00:33:53.620 There's
00:33:53.780 probably
00:33:53.980 something
00:33:54.280 missing in
00:33:54.780 the story.
00:33:56.140 But we
00:33:58.180 certainly didn't
00:33:59.560 get a good
00:33:59.940 outcome.
00:34:01.380 Now this
00:34:02.820 again plays
00:34:04.960 into the
00:34:05.900 notion here
00:34:07.700 that China
00:34:08.740 is very
00:34:09.220 unsafe for
00:34:09.880 business.
00:34:10.520 Not just
00:34:11.200 commercial
00:34:12.060 business but
00:34:12.840 also political
00:34:15.040 deals.
00:34:16.400 They won't
00:34:17.780 keep a deal.
00:34:18.260 If China
00:34:19.640 won't keep
00:34:20.480 a deal
00:34:20.900 you just
00:34:22.320 can't deal
00:34:22.740 with them.
00:34:23.560 You can't
00:34:23.960 deal with
00:34:24.220 them politically.
00:34:24.900 You can't
00:34:25.160 deal with
00:34:25.460 them commercially.
00:34:26.800 They are
00:34:27.380 unsafe for
00:34:28.740 business.
00:34:29.860 We also
00:34:30.540 have some
00:34:30.860 reports also
00:34:32.200 on CNN
00:34:33.420 about some
00:34:36.120 whistleblowers
00:34:36.820 or I guess
00:34:37.520 some people
00:34:38.540 who came
00:34:39.040 out of the
00:34:40.340 China system.
00:34:41.820 One Uyghur
00:34:42.520 and one
00:34:43.040 police officer
00:34:44.100 who apparently
00:34:45.440 was ordered
00:34:45.980 to torture
00:34:46.540 them.
00:34:47.820 And I
00:34:48.020 guess the
00:34:48.380 way that
00:34:48.720 the Uyghurs
00:34:49.180 are picked
00:34:49.580 up is that
00:34:50.140 they literally
00:34:50.600 put a black
00:34:51.300 hood over
00:34:51.740 their heads
00:34:52.300 and they
00:34:53.980 take them
00:34:54.560 away and
00:34:55.800 they beat
00:34:56.360 them until
00:34:57.060 they confess
00:34:59.860 to things
00:35:00.540 that they're
00:35:00.920 not guilty
00:35:01.400 of.
00:35:02.540 And this
00:35:03.120 is men
00:35:03.520 and women
00:35:04.000 and all
00:35:05.760 of the
00:35:06.100 suspects
00:35:06.660 apparently
00:35:07.240 get raped.
00:35:09.780 Men and
00:35:10.480 women.
00:35:12.140 Let me
00:35:12.720 say that
00:35:13.020 again.
00:35:14.520 There's
00:35:14.840 some
00:35:15.020 suggestion.
00:35:15.640 Now of
00:35:15.860 course we
00:35:16.240 don't know
00:35:16.560 if the
00:35:16.760 reporting
00:35:17.120 is correct.
00:35:18.600 I mean
00:35:18.940 this is the
00:35:19.800 sort of
00:35:20.040 thing you
00:35:20.360 would expect
00:35:21.000 people to
00:35:21.620 lie about.
00:35:23.560 So let
00:35:24.140 me say
00:35:24.360 this.
00:35:25.080 The reason
00:35:25.680 that we
00:35:25.980 attacked Iraq
00:35:26.820 and the
00:35:27.100 weapons of
00:35:27.540 mass destruction
00:35:28.200 we thought
00:35:28.680 were there
00:35:29.000 is that
00:35:29.380 somebody had
00:35:30.520 a reason
00:35:30.880 to lie
00:35:31.480 to get
00:35:32.340 us to
00:35:32.600 attack
00:35:32.880 Iraq.
00:35:34.280 So when
00:35:35.020 you see
00:35:35.280 a story
00:35:35.660 like this
00:35:36.260 you've
00:35:36.760 got to
00:35:37.140 say
00:35:37.500 historically
00:35:38.300 these
00:35:38.780 whistleblowers
00:35:39.580 of this
00:35:41.480 type
00:35:41.840 are lying.
00:35:43.020 historically
00:35:45.340 this kind
00:35:47.320 of story
00:35:47.660 would not
00:35:48.000 be true.
00:35:50.020 Anybody
00:35:50.460 disagree
00:35:50.800 with that?
00:35:52.480 Would you
00:35:53.040 say that
00:35:53.460 historically
00:35:54.080 the
00:35:55.100 whistleblower
00:35:55.800 who says
00:35:56.220 we get
00:35:56.700 tortured
00:35:57.040 every day
00:35:57.620 is usually
00:35:58.800 not true?
00:36:00.340 Now that
00:36:00.640 doesn't mean
00:36:00.980 there's no
00:36:01.340 torture.
00:36:02.060 I'm sure
00:36:02.300 there is.
00:36:03.460 But don't
00:36:04.040 you think
00:36:04.340 it's a
00:36:04.680 little bit
00:36:05.020 of hyperbole?
00:36:06.340 A little
00:36:06.880 bit?
00:36:07.700 Because this
00:36:08.460 person has
00:36:09.020 a great
00:36:09.500 incentive to
00:36:10.260 make it
00:36:10.680 sound worse
00:36:11.140 than it
00:36:11.420 is.
00:36:12.260 Now however
00:36:12.720 bad it
00:36:13.120 is,
00:36:13.500 it's a
00:36:15.000 10 and
00:36:15.340 a 10.
00:36:16.480 But the
00:36:17.680 whistleblower
00:36:18.140 is going
00:36:18.360 to make
00:36:18.580 it sound
00:36:18.860 like a
00:36:19.180 15.
00:36:20.540 So let
00:36:21.240 me not
00:36:21.520 minimize it.
00:36:22.540 On a
00:36:22.820 scale of
00:36:23.180 1 to
00:36:23.480 10,
00:36:23.920 it's a
00:36:24.180 10.
00:36:25.800 It's a
00:36:26.380 10.
00:36:27.860 But the
00:36:28.460 whistleblower
00:36:28.860 is going
00:36:29.080 to make
00:36:29.300 it look
00:36:29.560 like a
00:36:29.880 15.
00:36:30.720 That
00:36:30.940 would be
00:36:31.200 normal
00:36:31.600 to what
00:36:32.060 you
00:36:32.180 expect.
00:36:32.960 So just
00:36:33.340 keep that
00:36:33.720 in mind
00:36:34.100 that there's
00:36:35.120 an incentive
00:36:35.700 to at
00:36:38.240 least shade
00:36:38.800 things a
00:36:39.180 little bit.
00:36:40.320 But
00:36:40.680 the story
00:36:41.540 so far
00:36:42.020 is that
00:36:42.360 the police
00:36:43.080 use electric
00:36:43.820 batons on
00:36:44.660 the Uyghurs.
00:36:45.620 They put a
00:36:46.220 black hood
00:36:46.700 on them
00:36:47.060 when they
00:36:47.380 pick them
00:36:47.760 up in
00:36:48.020 the street.
00:36:48.780 They take
00:36:49.380 them back.
00:36:49.920 They beat
00:36:50.380 them badly
00:36:51.140 and often
00:36:52.020 and often.
00:36:55.520 And then
00:36:56.300 one of the
00:36:56.900 men reported
00:36:58.620 that the
00:37:00.060 guards forced
00:37:01.160 the other
00:37:01.880 prisoners to
00:37:03.120 rape him.
00:37:05.140 Gang rape
00:37:05.700 him,
00:37:05.940 apparently.
00:37:07.120 And that
00:37:07.500 that was
00:37:07.780 normal.
00:37:10.680 Now,
00:37:11.520 I don't
00:37:12.220 know about
00:37:12.520 that last
00:37:12.940 part.
00:37:13.880 I'm going
00:37:14.140 to say
00:37:14.360 that the
00:37:14.700 last part,
00:37:16.040 the guy
00:37:16.640 saying it
00:37:17.080 sounded
00:37:17.320 credible,
00:37:18.040 and if
00:37:18.340 it did
00:37:18.680 happen,
00:37:19.100 it's
00:37:19.240 horrible,
00:37:20.560 et cetera.
00:37:21.940 I don't
00:37:22.480 know if I
00:37:22.860 could go
00:37:23.120 that far.
00:37:23.700 But
00:37:23.840 whatever it
00:37:24.260 is,
00:37:24.460 it's a
00:37:24.740 10 out
00:37:25.040 of 10.
00:37:25.880 So bad
00:37:26.640 stuff's
00:37:27.000 happening
00:37:27.260 there.
00:37:32.140 And
00:37:32.580 again,
00:37:34.140 China is
00:37:36.700 unsafe for
00:37:37.220 business.
00:37:37.520 Now,
00:37:38.100 I did
00:37:38.280 get a
00:37:38.680 lengthy
00:37:39.120 message
00:37:39.560 from one
00:37:40.480 of my
00:37:40.700 contacts
00:37:41.120 on
00:37:41.480 LinkedIn,
00:37:43.600 and if
00:37:44.160 you're
00:37:44.320 watching
00:37:44.580 right now,
00:37:45.020 I won't
00:37:45.220 mention
00:37:45.460 your name,
00:37:46.440 but that
00:37:48.100 my context
00:37:48.960 is lacking
00:37:50.160 on China.
00:37:51.680 For
00:37:52.240 example,
00:37:53.520 here's the
00:37:53.980 counterargument,
00:37:55.400 that China's
00:37:56.120 aggressiveness
00:37:57.040 in the
00:37:57.760 South China
00:37:58.800 Sea is
00:37:59.900 actually
00:38:00.280 mostly
00:38:00.760 defensive,
00:38:01.880 because they're
00:38:03.200 putting up a
00:38:03.800 defense against
00:38:04.500 the, you know,
00:38:05.300 I don't know,
00:38:06.100 U.S.
00:38:06.620 Fifth Fleet
00:38:07.220 or something,
00:38:08.080 because they
00:38:08.900 don't want to
00:38:09.260 be, they
00:38:11.300 don't ever
00:38:11.660 want to be
00:38:12.060 locked into
00:38:12.860 their own
00:38:13.260 territory where
00:38:14.000 they can't
00:38:14.440 do trade.
00:38:15.520 And indeed,
00:38:16.240 having the
00:38:16.720 Belt and
00:38:17.080 Road Initiative
00:38:17.700 would give
00:38:18.220 them, you
00:38:19.120 know, some
00:38:19.380 diversification
00:38:20.260 of commercial
00:38:22.380 outlets, so
00:38:23.840 they wouldn't
00:38:24.220 need exclusively
00:38:25.700 the ocean,
00:38:26.660 and they'd have
00:38:27.040 an option,
00:38:27.580 et cetera.
00:38:28.360 Do you believe
00:38:28.880 any of that?
00:38:30.820 To me, I'm
00:38:31.820 not sure there's
00:38:32.480 such a difference
00:38:33.220 between a
00:38:33.840 defensive act
00:38:34.760 and an
00:38:35.160 offensive act.
00:38:36.620 I feel like
00:38:37.400 that distinction
00:38:38.100 is a little
00:38:38.900 bit artificial.
00:38:40.500 Don't you?
00:38:41.500 There we go.
00:38:42.420 Aggressive
00:38:42.840 defense.
00:38:44.220 Yeah.
00:38:44.680 Being aggressively
00:38:45.720 defensive looks a
00:38:46.860 lot like
00:38:47.260 offensiveness.
00:38:48.680 And we
00:38:49.320 certainly know
00:38:49.920 that the
00:38:50.520 Chinese government
00:38:52.520 has some
00:38:53.660 ambitions about
00:38:54.440 controlling as
00:38:55.300 much of the
00:38:55.760 world as they
00:38:56.340 can.
00:38:57.100 Same as we
00:38:57.640 do, right?
00:38:59.080 Every superpower
00:39:00.000 wants to control
00:39:00.840 as much as they
00:39:01.520 can.
00:39:02.580 Why wouldn't
00:39:03.040 you?
00:39:03.720 I mean, so do
00:39:04.400 you.
00:39:04.580 Don't you
00:39:05.180 want to
00:39:05.520 control as
00:39:06.060 much of
00:39:06.380 your life
00:39:06.760 as you
00:39:07.020 can?
00:39:07.880 So it's
00:39:08.620 pretty natural
00:39:09.480 that China
00:39:09.900 would be
00:39:10.200 trying to
00:39:10.560 control as
00:39:11.060 much as
00:39:11.400 they can.
00:39:12.420 But do
00:39:12.780 they have a
00:39:13.340 defensive
00:39:13.880 incentive
00:39:14.600 too?
00:39:15.420 Sure.
00:39:16.600 Now, apparently
00:39:17.220 also the
00:39:18.020 flyovers over
00:39:19.580 Taiwan were,
00:39:21.300 I think,
00:39:21.980 key to some
00:39:22.760 holiday or
00:39:23.360 something.
00:39:24.260 But that
00:39:24.640 doesn't really
00:39:25.520 make it
00:39:26.940 better.
00:39:27.200 So just
00:39:30.060 be aware
00:39:30.580 that there
00:39:31.160 is one
00:39:33.560 point in
00:39:34.020 view that
00:39:34.780 China's
00:39:35.240 actions are
00:39:35.800 a little
00:39:36.060 bit more
00:39:36.440 defensive than
00:39:37.260 they look.
00:39:38.500 But I'm
00:39:38.900 not buying
00:39:39.360 it.
00:39:40.680 I definitely
00:39:41.500 think that
00:39:41.920 they have a
00:39:42.260 defensive
00:39:42.640 motivation,
00:39:44.980 as everyone
00:39:45.540 does.
00:39:46.800 But I feel
00:39:47.580 like all of
00:39:48.260 their defense
00:39:48.760 has an
00:39:49.380 offensive
00:39:49.980 secondary
00:39:51.320 purpose.
00:39:52.760 So that's
00:39:53.280 what it looks
00:39:53.640 like.
00:39:54.120 And it
00:39:54.460 should.
00:39:55.200 I mean,
00:39:55.480 that would be
00:39:56.120 the rational
00:39:56.580 thing to do.
00:39:57.200 Why would
00:39:58.460 you have
00:39:58.680 something that's
00:39:59.180 purely defensive
00:39:59.960 when it
00:40:00.560 could be
00:40:01.000 both?
00:40:06.120 Here's a
00:40:07.120 question for
00:40:08.080 you that's
00:40:08.500 kind of
00:40:08.880 weird.
00:40:10.120 So on
00:40:10.980 Twitter,
00:40:11.480 Twitter user
00:40:12.180 Christopher Hill
00:40:13.140 noticed this,
00:40:14.400 and I guess
00:40:15.700 others noticed
00:40:16.620 it too.
00:40:17.300 But did you
00:40:17.780 know that
00:40:18.200 Biden's
00:40:18.980 Build Back
00:40:20.020 Better
00:40:20.360 slogan is
00:40:21.880 being used
00:40:22.540 in Canada
00:40:23.220 and Great
00:40:23.900 Britain?
00:40:24.120 Did you
00:40:25.880 know that?
00:40:27.200 I guess
00:40:29.120 Boris Johnson
00:40:29.860 uses it
00:40:30.620 and Trudeau
00:40:33.240 uses it
00:40:33.860 in Canada?
00:40:35.360 They all
00:40:36.160 use Build
00:40:36.640 Back
00:40:36.860 Better?
00:40:42.640 What's that
00:40:43.340 telling you?
00:40:46.220 I've never
00:40:46.960 seen that
00:40:47.380 happen before.
00:40:48.580 Have you?
00:40:49.320 Because it
00:40:49.760 feels like it
00:40:50.300 would be so
00:40:50.780 obvious that
00:40:51.640 you're cribbing
00:40:52.860 somebody's
00:40:53.320 slogan that
00:40:53.860 you wouldn't
00:40:54.180 do it.
00:40:59.360 Pelosi
00:40:59.840 called it
00:41:00.320 Obama's
00:41:01.020 Build Back
00:41:01.480 Better.
00:41:04.220 It's a
00:41:04.880 New World
00:41:05.300 Order
00:41:05.600 slogan.
00:41:09.040 I'm not
00:41:10.020 so much
00:41:10.820 into the
00:41:11.180 New World
00:41:11.560 Order
00:41:11.960 conspiracy
00:41:13.140 stuff,
00:41:14.300 but it
00:41:15.280 is a weird
00:41:15.680 coincidence
00:41:16.180 that it
00:41:17.320 doesn't have
00:41:17.720 an explanation
00:41:18.400 that I can
00:41:19.140 think of,
00:41:19.760 because it
00:41:20.180 isn't so
00:41:20.760 clever,
00:41:21.160 is it?
00:41:22.960 Now,
00:41:23.420 I will
00:41:23.640 give it
00:41:23.980 one benefit.
00:41:26.960 And I
00:41:27.140 don't think
00:41:27.420 it's like,
00:41:28.080 does it feel
00:41:28.940 like the
00:41:29.820 public is
00:41:30.480 saying Build
00:41:31.020 Back
00:41:31.260 Better the
00:41:31.740 same way
00:41:32.120 they were
00:41:32.400 saying MAGA
00:41:33.120 and Make
00:41:33.760 America
00:41:34.080 Great Again?
00:41:35.040 The genius
00:41:35.800 of Trump's
00:41:37.640 slogan making
00:41:38.880 is that people
00:41:39.820 would repeat
00:41:40.420 it,
00:41:40.760 because they
00:41:41.600 liked it.
00:41:42.800 Have you
00:41:43.100 ever heard
00:41:43.580 a Democrat
00:41:44.340 who proudly
00:41:45.160 says,
00:41:45.820 Build Back
00:41:46.240 Better?
00:41:47.120 I mean,
00:41:47.440 except for
00:41:47.860 the professional
00:41:48.440 politicians.
00:41:50.000 Do you see
00:41:50.400 it on Twitter?
00:41:52.100 Do you see
00:41:52.780 a lot of
00:41:53.260 just Biden
00:41:53.920 supporters
00:41:54.420 saying,
00:41:55.720 Build Back
00:41:56.060 Better?
00:41:57.620 Not really,
00:41:58.540 right?
00:42:00.680 It's,
00:42:01.860 I don't
00:42:02.500 know how
00:42:02.740 that slogan
00:42:03.220 became so
00:42:03.820 popular when
00:42:04.480 the public
00:42:04.860 doesn't care
00:42:05.360 about it
00:42:05.740 at all.
00:42:06.580 It's only
00:42:06.980 the politicians.
00:42:08.440 So there's
00:42:08.760 something weird
00:42:09.340 going on there,
00:42:09.940 we just
00:42:10.200 don't know
00:42:10.480 what it is.
00:42:13.820 Adam
00:42:14.300 Dopamine,
00:42:15.840 it's not
00:42:16.560 his real
00:42:16.900 name,
00:42:17.580 on Twitter,
00:42:19.000 asks,
00:42:19.940 why are
00:42:20.400 passenger
00:42:22.240 planes not
00:42:23.100 spreading
00:42:23.460 COVID?
00:42:24.400 So you
00:42:24.920 pack all
00:42:25.360 these people
00:42:25.780 in the
00:42:26.180 passenger
00:42:26.660 plane,
00:42:27.840 and we
00:42:28.160 know,
00:42:28.500 of course,
00:42:28.780 now that
00:42:29.200 just being
00:42:29.700 vaccinated
00:42:30.260 isn't enough
00:42:31.260 to prevent
00:42:32.500 COVID spread.
00:42:35.400 Why are
00:42:36.220 airplanes not
00:42:37.540 being grounded?
00:42:38.300 Why are we
00:42:40.280 not hearing
00:42:40.780 stories about,
00:42:41.820 well,
00:42:42.380 yeah,
00:42:42.600 we've got to
00:42:43.060 fly,
00:42:43.580 but yeah,
00:42:44.060 I have to
00:42:44.400 admit,
00:42:45.340 getting a lot
00:42:45.800 of infections.
00:42:46.440 We don't
00:42:47.520 want to
00:42:47.760 close the
00:42:48.180 airlines,
00:42:48.980 even though
00:42:49.760 we're getting
00:42:50.060 a lot of
00:42:50.440 infections.
00:42:51.840 I think it's
00:42:52.500 not happening,
00:42:53.160 right?
00:42:54.760 It's just
00:42:55.380 not happening.
00:42:57.500 So the
00:42:58.300 first question
00:42:58.860 is,
00:42:59.160 is it because
00:42:59.700 of the
00:43:00.100 filters,
00:43:00.900 the airflow?
00:43:01.600 Airplanes are
00:43:02.540 sensationally
00:43:03.540 well designed
00:43:04.380 in terms of
00:43:05.460 airflow.
00:43:05.860 They have to
00:43:06.240 be.
00:43:07.420 But here's
00:43:07.960 my counterpoint.
00:43:08.860 I tweeted
00:43:09.200 it and then I
00:43:09.780 untweeted it
00:43:10.400 after I thought
00:43:11.000 for a second.
00:43:11.860 Here's why I
00:43:12.460 untweeted it.
00:43:13.240 How many
00:43:15.560 infections are
00:43:16.120 we getting
00:43:16.340 from buses?
00:43:18.520 Right?
00:43:19.480 How many
00:43:19.960 infections do
00:43:20.660 we get from
00:43:21.280 subways?
00:43:23.940 How about
00:43:24.500 cars?
00:43:27.060 I feel like
00:43:27.940 it's sort
00:43:29.060 of none,
00:43:29.580 right?
00:43:30.840 Ubers?
00:43:31.660 Yeah,
00:43:31.880 Ubers.
00:43:33.000 How many
00:43:33.500 Ubers are
00:43:34.080 giving people
00:43:34.680 COVID?
00:43:37.000 What is
00:43:38.000 going on
00:43:38.620 in elevators?
00:43:39.980 Now,
00:43:40.260 elevators,
00:43:40.780 you're not in
00:43:41.140 there for very
00:43:41.680 long,
00:43:42.000 so maybe that
00:43:42.740 makes more
00:43:43.160 sense.
00:43:44.040 But I
00:43:44.920 feel as
00:43:45.440 if we
00:43:47.540 really don't
00:43:48.140 know how
00:43:48.520 this stuff
00:43:49.000 spreads still.
00:43:51.020 Am I
00:43:51.600 wrong?
00:43:53.100 Because we
00:43:54.340 should know
00:43:54.920 exactly where
00:43:56.480 people are
00:43:56.940 getting it by
00:43:57.480 now.
00:43:57.980 Because people
00:43:58.380 can kind
00:43:58.800 of, you
00:43:59.580 know,
00:43:59.880 they can
00:44:00.600 put together
00:44:01.640 where they
00:44:02.460 were and
00:44:03.000 who got
00:44:03.380 it in
00:44:03.920 enough
00:44:04.440 cases,
00:44:05.280 not every
00:44:05.800 case,
00:44:06.460 but in
00:44:06.800 enough
00:44:07.000 cases you
00:44:07.540 know where
00:44:07.840 you got
00:44:08.200 it.
00:44:09.300 That we
00:44:09.660 should know
00:44:10.120 by now
00:44:10.540 where people
00:44:11.200 are getting
00:44:11.600 it.
00:44:12.240 Why do
00:44:12.540 you think
00:44:12.760 you don't
00:44:13.080 know that?
00:44:14.300 Why do
00:44:14.660 you think
00:44:14.940 you as
00:44:15.360 a member
00:44:15.660 of the
00:44:15.860 public,
00:44:16.260 who is
00:44:16.420 really paying
00:44:16.880 attention,
00:44:17.700 because it
00:44:18.200 matters to
00:44:18.800 your daily
00:44:19.160 life,
00:44:19.760 you're really
00:44:20.220 paying attention.
00:44:21.440 You don't
00:44:21.960 know,
00:44:23.140 as of right
00:44:24.080 now,
00:44:24.560 given the
00:44:25.220 vaccination
00:44:25.580 status of
00:44:26.460 the country,
00:44:27.280 you don't
00:44:27.740 know where
00:44:28.120 people are
00:44:28.520 getting it,
00:44:28.940 do you?
00:44:30.220 Why not?
00:44:31.880 It's got to
00:44:32.700 be available,
00:44:33.540 right?
00:44:34.440 Somehow,
00:44:36.000 somebody's
00:44:36.440 studying this.
00:44:37.760 Somebody is
00:44:38.760 studying people
00:44:39.400 with COVID
00:44:39.880 and saying,
00:44:40.460 okay,
00:44:40.760 if you
00:44:41.180 know where
00:44:42.420 you were
00:44:42.700 infected,
00:44:43.220 what's your
00:44:43.500 best guess?
00:44:45.060 We kind
00:44:45.540 of know
00:44:45.840 that by
00:44:46.240 now,
00:44:46.500 don't we?
00:44:47.400 And
00:44:47.600 whatever it
00:44:48.100 was before
00:44:48.900 vaccinations,
00:44:50.060 it might be
00:44:50.580 different now.
00:44:51.600 It could
00:44:51.980 be that the
00:44:52.780 place we
00:44:53.240 get it now
00:44:53.680 is a
00:44:53.960 different way
00:44:54.440 and a
00:44:54.680 different
00:44:54.820 place.
00:44:56.200 Let me
00:44:56.760 give you
00:44:57.160 a provocative
00:44:58.140 thought.
00:45:02.200 Is it a
00:45:02.920 sexually
00:45:03.300 transmitted
00:45:03.960 disease now?
00:45:07.040 Think about
00:45:07.860 it.
00:45:08.740 If you're
00:45:09.740 not getting
00:45:10.160 it on the
00:45:10.580 plane and
00:45:11.680 you're not
00:45:12.020 getting it
00:45:12.380 in the
00:45:12.580 classroom,
00:45:13.760 you're not
00:45:14.220 getting it
00:45:14.580 at work,
00:45:15.300 and I
00:45:15.580 don't know
00:45:15.820 if that's
00:45:16.160 true because
00:45:16.880 we have a
00:45:17.320 lack of
00:45:17.780 data,
00:45:18.600 right?
00:45:19.480 Where are
00:45:19.960 people getting
00:45:20.460 it?
00:45:23.280 Sex?
00:45:24.620 Because I
00:45:25.080 feel like
00:45:25.580 if you're
00:45:26.800 vaccinated,
00:45:28.220 you've got to
00:45:28.840 slobber all
00:45:29.540 over somebody
00:45:30.180 to give it
00:45:30.640 to them,
00:45:30.900 don't you?
00:45:32.240 I'm just
00:45:32.880 speculating.
00:45:34.180 Nothing I
00:45:34.760 say now should
00:45:35.340 be taken as
00:45:35.940 any kind of
00:45:36.440 a fact,
00:45:37.540 right?
00:45:38.420 But I
00:45:38.900 wonder if
00:45:39.340 we get to
00:45:39.780 the point,
00:45:40.760 let's say
00:45:41.280 just about
00:45:41.840 everybody gets
00:45:42.340 vaccinated.
00:45:43.380 Let's say
00:45:43.740 we get to
00:45:44.040 90%.
00:45:44.680 And let's
00:45:46.820 say that
00:45:47.220 the vaccination
00:45:47.720 reduces the
00:45:48.660 amount of
00:45:49.020 viral load
00:45:49.680 so that
00:45:50.740 you don't
00:45:51.640 give it to
00:45:52.060 people so
00:45:52.500 much just
00:45:52.920 by talking
00:45:53.460 or just
00:45:54.440 by being
00:45:54.800 in the
00:45:55.080 room.
00:45:55.820 How would
00:45:56.320 you give
00:45:56.620 it to
00:45:56.820 people if
00:45:57.800 it's a
00:45:58.140 lower
00:45:58.380 viral load
00:45:59.600 and they're
00:46:00.940 vaccinated
00:46:01.340 too?
00:46:02.680 You pretty
00:46:03.400 much have to
00:46:04.440 stick your
00:46:04.920 tongue down
00:46:05.460 the throat.
00:46:06.440 Am I
00:46:07.000 wrong?
00:46:08.180 Now, I'm
00:46:08.800 exaggerating,
00:46:09.640 right?
00:46:10.100 I'm exaggerating
00:46:10.980 for effect.
00:46:13.520 But are we
00:46:14.240 reaching a
00:46:14.720 point where
00:46:15.240 the only way
00:46:15.880 this thing is
00:46:16.480 going to
00:46:16.760 spread in
00:46:17.380 any meaningful
00:46:18.020 way is
00:46:19.340 you've got to
00:46:19.780 climb on top
00:46:20.520 of another
00:46:20.920 human and
00:46:21.640 breathe in
00:46:22.100 their mouth?
00:46:24.140 Again,
00:46:24.740 exaggerating a
00:46:25.340 little bit.
00:46:25.900 But I feel
00:46:26.340 like it's
00:46:26.700 becoming a
00:46:27.200 sexually
00:46:27.540 transmitted
00:46:28.160 disease and
00:46:29.260 it might be
00:46:29.780 mostly transmitted
00:46:30.620 by people
00:46:31.120 having affairs.
00:46:31.820 Yeah, see
00:46:35.420 where I went
00:46:35.860 there?
00:46:36.640 It might be
00:46:37.160 mostly trans
00:46:37.940 at some point
00:46:39.100 and maybe
00:46:39.500 we're approaching
00:46:40.080 it.
00:46:41.020 At some point
00:46:41.720 if you get
00:46:42.140 enough people
00:46:42.800 vaccinated,
00:46:43.820 it's mostly
00:46:45.460 going to come
00:46:46.340 from sex
00:46:47.040 because that's
00:46:48.140 the only time
00:46:48.540 you're getting
00:46:48.840 that close
00:46:49.400 for that long.
00:46:51.280 Right?
00:46:52.300 Am I wrong?
00:46:53.420 Am I wrong
00:46:53.920 that this could
00:46:54.540 morph into a
00:46:55.540 sexually transmitted
00:46:56.480 disease because
00:46:57.520 it's just the
00:46:58.020 only way you
00:46:58.580 can get enough
00:46:59.160 virus into
00:47:00.560 another vaccinated
00:47:01.380 person?
00:47:04.240 I'll just put
00:47:05.040 that out there.
00:47:06.260 All right,
00:47:06.560 I saw Rasmussen
00:47:07.320 tweeting something
00:47:08.300 from the
00:47:08.820 Gateway Pundit
00:47:09.680 and there's a
00:47:10.920 claim here
00:47:11.540 that I will
00:47:12.380 give low
00:47:13.140 credibility
00:47:13.620 so I don't
00:47:14.900 get banned
00:47:15.520 from social
00:47:16.500 media.
00:47:17.600 And that's
00:47:18.320 my actual
00:47:18.760 opinion.
00:47:19.140 I think
00:47:19.360 there's low
00:47:20.000 credibility
00:47:20.420 to this
00:47:21.020 claim that
00:47:22.160 there are
00:47:22.460 393
00:47:23.500 illegal
00:47:25.340 registered
00:47:26.180 voters in
00:47:27.000 Arizona,
00:47:28.580 meaning that
00:47:29.260 there's two
00:47:29.840 databases that
00:47:30.560 didn't match.
00:47:31.380 There's a
00:47:31.700 social security
00:47:32.820 numbers that
00:47:34.120 didn't match
00:47:34.520 the voting
00:47:35.000 polls or
00:47:35.600 something like
00:47:35.960 that.
00:47:36.780 And there's
00:47:37.260 some discrepancy
00:47:38.040 of 393
00:47:39.240 people who
00:47:40.060 maybe shouldn't
00:47:41.020 have voted
00:47:41.420 that maybe
00:47:42.280 did.
00:47:44.160 Is that
00:47:44.740 real?
00:47:46.160 Is that
00:47:46.620 being reported
00:47:47.240 on CNN?
00:47:49.120 I don't
00:47:49.840 think so.
00:47:50.600 Is it
00:47:50.880 being reported
00:47:51.420 on Fox
00:47:52.460 News?
00:47:54.180 Is Fox
00:47:55.180 News reporting
00:47:55.940 this as
00:47:56.400 true?
00:47:57.660 Here's the
00:47:58.280 way I
00:47:58.860 approach this.
00:47:59.740 The gateway
00:48:02.000 pundit doesn't
00:48:02.740 have a
00:48:03.300 100%
00:48:04.860 accurate record.
00:48:06.480 I don't
00:48:06.800 know what
00:48:06.980 the record
00:48:07.320 is.
00:48:08.000 But like
00:48:09.020 most entities,
00:48:09.960 it's not
00:48:10.340 100%.
00:48:10.940 That's all I
00:48:12.260 can say for
00:48:12.700 sure.
00:48:13.020 I don't
00:48:13.160 know how it
00:48:14.060 compares to
00:48:14.540 the New York
00:48:14.900 Times, for
00:48:16.060 example.
00:48:18.960 But here's a
00:48:20.300 good standard.
00:48:21.040 If it's not
00:48:21.500 being reported
00:48:22.140 by both
00:48:22.960 entities, it's
00:48:23.700 probably not
00:48:24.160 true.
00:48:24.380 If you
00:48:25.580 don't see
00:48:25.920 CNN saying
00:48:26.700 it, and
00:48:27.180 also Fox
00:48:27.880 News saying
00:48:28.320 yeah, we
00:48:28.900 do have
00:48:29.220 this
00:48:29.420 discrepancy,
00:48:30.800 maybe one
00:48:31.280 would say
00:48:31.600 why and
00:48:32.080 the other
00:48:32.380 wouldn't,
00:48:32.860 but probably
00:48:34.280 not something
00:48:34.820 to worry
00:48:35.240 about.
00:48:36.960 Probably
00:48:37.440 just a
00:48:37.940 database
00:48:38.200 problem.
00:48:40.240 So I'll
00:48:41.460 say that's
00:48:42.460 not confirmed.
00:48:43.980 I mean, it's
00:48:44.340 certainly a
00:48:44.720 red flag and
00:48:45.500 certainly we
00:48:46.000 should know
00:48:46.380 why there's
00:48:46.920 a difference,
00:48:47.700 but probably
00:48:48.480 just a
00:48:48.880 database
00:48:49.140 difference.
00:48:50.220 Probably
00:48:50.500 not any
00:48:51.640 bad thing
00:48:54.040 found.
00:48:55.680 A
00:48:56.240 vaccinated
00:48:56.580 person who
00:48:57.240 develops
00:48:57.740 symptoms is
00:48:58.400 just as
00:48:58.960 contagious as
00:48:59.760 a non-vax.
00:49:01.160 True?
00:49:02.000 For a
00:49:02.680 shorter amount
00:49:03.180 of time.
00:49:04.440 So once you
00:49:05.060 add on top
00:49:05.720 of that,
00:49:06.080 that true
00:49:06.540 statement that
00:49:08.020 a vaccinated
00:49:08.780 person who
00:49:09.380 just got the
00:49:10.040 vaccination can
00:49:11.120 give off a
00:49:11.740 lot of virus,
00:49:12.660 but not for
00:49:13.300 long.
00:49:14.940 So they're
00:49:15.480 contagious.
00:49:17.000 They're that
00:49:17.500 contagious for a
00:49:18.520 short time,
00:49:19.160 I think.
00:49:20.140 Check on
00:49:20.660 that.
00:49:21.000 Do a fact
00:49:21.360 check on
00:49:21.720 that,
00:49:21.980 okay?
00:49:23.120 Not
00:49:23.400 positive.
00:49:26.640 I was
00:49:27.240 asked if
00:49:27.640 I'm getting
00:49:27.980 the booster.
00:49:28.840 My answer
00:49:29.320 to that is
00:49:29.760 the same as
00:49:30.400 my answer to
00:49:31.060 the original
00:49:31.840 vaccination
00:49:32.800 question.
00:49:34.140 Since I
00:49:34.560 got the
00:49:35.200 regular
00:49:35.500 vaccination as
00:49:36.360 late as
00:49:36.860 possible,
00:49:37.960 so that I
00:49:38.440 could have
00:49:38.680 the benefit
00:49:39.120 of as
00:49:39.520 many months
00:49:40.140 of other
00:49:40.680 people getting
00:49:41.320 it as
00:49:41.640 possible,
00:49:42.200 I'm also
00:49:44.120 going to
00:49:44.420 wait as
00:49:45.080 long as
00:49:45.540 possible for
00:49:46.220 the booster
00:49:46.660 so that I
00:49:47.820 have as
00:49:48.100 much information
00:49:48.900 about other
00:49:49.440 people's
00:49:49.840 experiences as
00:49:50.680 possible.
00:49:51.360 So the
00:49:51.740 answer is
00:49:52.100 I haven't
00:49:52.420 decided and
00:49:54.420 I shouldn't
00:49:55.160 until the
00:49:56.660 last minute.
00:49:57.440 The only
00:49:57.840 time to
00:49:58.220 decide this
00:49:58.700 is the
00:49:59.020 last minute.
00:50:00.260 Deciding
00:50:00.640 ahead of
00:50:01.060 time is
00:50:02.180 dumb.
00:50:03.580 It's
00:50:03.800 dumb.
00:50:04.800 Now,
00:50:05.240 I suppose if
00:50:06.580 you had some
00:50:07.440 profession that
00:50:08.100 required it,
00:50:08.660 you might decide
00:50:09.200 ahead of time.
00:50:09.640 But if you
00:50:11.220 have the luxury
00:50:14.020 of being able
00:50:15.340 to self-quarantine
00:50:17.620 and still
00:50:18.540 work, as I
00:50:19.760 do, I'll
00:50:21.420 wait until the
00:50:21.760 last minute.
00:50:24.200 All right.
00:50:27.440 The French
00:50:29.800 Catholic Church
00:50:30.720 discovered that
00:50:32.120 there were at
00:50:32.480 least 3,000
00:50:33.540 pedophiles who
00:50:34.460 have been
00:50:34.680 working within
00:50:35.300 the ranks of
00:50:35.940 the French
00:50:36.320 Catholic Church
00:50:37.060 since the
00:50:38.160 50s.
00:50:39.360 They estimate
00:50:40.020 that as many
00:50:40.740 as 330,000
00:50:42.880 children were
00:50:44.260 victims since
00:50:45.060 the 50s.
00:50:46.400 But on the
00:50:47.380 optimistic view,
00:50:48.440 some say only
00:50:49.300 200,000.
00:50:52.400 That's the
00:50:53.020 optimistic view.
00:50:54.720 Now, how many
00:50:56.380 is that?
00:50:56.960 That is 3,000 and
00:50:58.340 have around
00:50:58.800 115,000
00:51:00.200 priests.
00:51:00.620 That's a lot
00:51:00.920 of priests.
00:51:02.080 So 3,000 is
00:51:03.060 not a lot out
00:51:04.040 of 115,000.
00:51:05.880 I don't even
00:51:06.280 know if that's
00:51:06.760 higher than
00:51:07.200 the average
00:51:08.720 in the public.
00:51:10.240 It feels like
00:51:10.800 it is, but I
00:51:11.800 don't know
00:51:12.100 that it is.
00:51:15.880 I feel like
00:51:16.880 somehow this
00:51:20.580 needs to get
00:51:21.080 fixed.
00:51:22.500 Let me give
00:51:23.180 you the
00:51:24.500 hypnotist's view
00:51:25.640 of this
00:51:26.260 situation.
00:51:26.780 The hypnotist
00:51:28.860 says that
00:51:30.200 over time,
00:51:32.380 every shoe
00:51:33.300 salesman should
00:51:34.500 be a man
00:51:35.220 with a shoe
00:51:35.820 fetish or
00:51:37.100 a foot
00:51:37.380 fetish.
00:51:38.360 Let me say
00:51:39.060 that again.
00:51:40.200 Over time,
00:51:41.220 not on day
00:51:41.900 one, but
00:51:42.860 over time,
00:51:44.740 every shoe
00:51:45.500 salesman should
00:51:47.340 be a man
00:51:48.220 with a foot
00:51:48.760 fetish.
00:51:49.760 Why?
00:51:50.560 Because they'd
00:51:51.100 work for
00:51:51.480 cheaper.
00:51:53.020 A man with
00:51:53.580 a foot fetish
00:51:54.160 will take a
00:51:54.640 job as a
00:51:55.140 shoe salesman
00:51:55.720 for less
00:51:56.440 money.
00:51:57.560 He's like,
00:51:58.520 that's a
00:51:58.920 pretty good
00:51:59.160 job.
00:51:59.840 I love my
00:52:00.440 job.
00:52:00.860 I can't
00:52:01.120 wait to
00:52:01.360 go to
00:52:01.580 work.
00:52:03.700 Likewise,
00:52:05.260 over time,
00:52:06.300 you would
00:52:06.540 expect that
00:52:07.160 every coach
00:52:09.540 of an
00:52:10.140 all-female,
00:52:11.280 young-female
00:52:11.920 team would
00:52:13.800 be sexual
00:52:14.540 harassers.
00:52:16.120 Not on
00:52:16.800 day one,
00:52:18.360 but over
00:52:18.840 time, you'd
00:52:19.820 expect all
00:52:20.360 the harassers
00:52:21.260 to be attracted
00:52:21.940 to the place
00:52:22.440 where they
00:52:22.740 can do the
00:52:23.120 most harassing.
00:52:24.460 So over
00:52:24.960 time, you'd
00:52:25.480 expect every
00:52:26.080 organization that
00:52:27.140 has young
00:52:27.820 people as
00:52:28.460 their charge
00:52:30.040 and adults
00:52:31.840 in charge,
00:52:32.420 you'd expect
00:52:32.900 over time
00:52:33.600 that they
00:52:33.940 would all
00:52:34.200 become
00:52:34.440 pedophiles.
00:52:36.180 Sorry.
00:52:37.460 Human
00:52:38.000 motivation.
00:52:39.240 You can't
00:52:39.760 turn off
00:52:40.140 human motivation.
00:52:41.000 So if you
00:52:42.820 have an
00:52:43.140 organization that
00:52:44.140 absolutely is
00:52:45.120 going to
00:52:45.340 attract pedophiles,
00:52:47.260 you need to
00:52:47.860 do something
00:52:48.480 about that.
00:52:50.560 I don't know
00:52:51.160 what the
00:52:51.520 answer is,
00:52:52.060 but if you
00:52:52.580 know that
00:52:53.640 you're attracting
00:52:54.200 the wrong
00:52:54.980 people,
00:52:57.280 the Boy
00:52:57.780 Scouts,
00:52:58.240 perfect example,
00:52:59.340 exactly.
00:53:00.260 You would
00:53:00.560 expect over
00:53:01.180 time that
00:53:02.140 you would
00:53:02.380 have more
00:53:02.800 and more
00:53:03.120 of the
00:53:03.560 people you
00:53:04.120 don't want
00:53:04.500 in those
00:53:04.760 ranks because
00:53:05.780 they would be
00:53:06.140 attracted and
00:53:06.780 why not?
00:53:07.980 I mean,
00:53:08.300 from their
00:53:08.600 perspective,
00:53:09.180 why not?
00:53:10.680 All right.
00:53:12.660 Here's what
00:53:13.260 we think we
00:53:14.040 know about
00:53:14.420 shots.
00:53:14.840 I'll tell you
00:53:15.240 what I
00:53:15.860 think I
00:53:16.240 know so
00:53:17.720 far.
00:53:19.120 That two
00:53:19.860 shots is
00:53:20.340 better than
00:53:20.700 one.
00:53:21.420 All right.
00:53:21.700 Give me a
00:53:22.040 fact check as
00:53:22.680 I go.
00:53:23.700 I'm going to
00:53:24.040 state things
00:53:24.740 we think we
00:53:25.560 know are
00:53:26.260 true.
00:53:27.460 Two shots
00:53:28.160 is better
00:53:28.480 than one.
00:53:29.840 I hear that
00:53:30.440 we're assuming
00:53:31.120 that one
00:53:31.560 shot is not
00:53:33.040 going to kill
00:53:33.440 you.
00:53:35.700 And again,
00:53:36.420 this is not
00:53:36.860 necessarily your
00:53:37.680 opinion.
00:53:38.160 This would be
00:53:38.500 the consensus
00:53:40.040 scientific opinion.
00:53:42.160 We now
00:53:42.940 believe that
00:53:43.520 three shots
00:53:44.240 is better
00:53:44.600 than two.
00:53:46.260 Again,
00:53:46.800 I'm not
00:53:47.260 saying you
00:53:47.700 agree with
00:53:48.260 it.
00:53:48.740 I'm saying
00:53:49.140 this is the
00:53:49.640 consensus.
00:53:51.940 We believe
00:53:52.820 that natural
00:53:53.480 immunity is
00:53:54.340 better than
00:53:55.160 two shots.
00:53:57.120 Not quite
00:53:57.940 sure about
00:53:58.420 that.
00:53:59.400 But we do
00:54:00.180 know that
00:54:00.560 natural
00:54:00.940 immunity gives
00:54:01.980 you immunity
00:54:02.520 to sort of
00:54:03.340 every part
00:54:04.400 inside and
00:54:05.160 out of the
00:54:06.040 virus.
00:54:06.960 Whereas the
00:54:07.720 shots give
00:54:08.980 you a very
00:54:09.380 specific
00:54:09.940 immunity.
00:54:11.100 I'm probably
00:54:11.540 doing a bad
00:54:12.180 job of
00:54:12.520 explaining this.
00:54:13.500 But it's that
00:54:14.920 spike protein
00:54:15.740 that they're
00:54:16.160 targeting.
00:54:16.940 So they're
00:54:17.160 looking at
00:54:17.540 one element
00:54:18.380 and creating
00:54:19.780 a vaccine
00:54:21.200 around that
00:54:21.680 one element.
00:54:22.460 Whereas natural
00:54:23.200 immunity gives
00:54:24.140 you immunity to
00:54:24.880 basically all
00:54:25.600 of the parts.
00:54:26.200 Is that better?
00:54:28.100 Well, at least
00:54:28.680 one expert said
00:54:29.440 so on a video
00:54:31.000 I saw today.
00:54:31.600 But maybe
00:54:34.160 that's a
00:54:35.160 question.
00:54:37.340 So natural
00:54:37.880 immunity seems
00:54:38.580 better than
00:54:39.060 two shots.
00:54:40.740 Is natural
00:54:41.720 immunity better
00:54:42.440 than three
00:54:44.060 shots?
00:54:46.020 Probably.
00:54:47.220 Again, I'm not
00:54:47.980 sure we know
00:54:48.440 that.
00:54:49.320 But probably
00:54:49.820 because of the
00:54:50.820 completeness of
00:54:52.100 the immunity
00:54:52.540 for the
00:54:53.500 natural one.
00:54:54.600 If that
00:54:55.520 matters over
00:54:56.040 time, I don't
00:54:56.480 know.
00:54:56.660 The consensus
00:54:58.360 also is that
00:54:59.080 natural immunity
00:54:59.900 plus shots is
00:55:01.700 better than
00:55:02.160 either one
00:55:02.620 alone.
00:55:04.140 Yeah, how
00:55:04.820 about that?
00:55:06.220 Do you agree
00:55:06.700 with that?
00:55:07.060 That would be
00:55:07.400 the consensus.
00:55:08.780 That having
00:55:09.220 the shots is
00:55:10.080 good and
00:55:10.540 having natural
00:55:11.060 immunity is
00:55:11.620 good.
00:55:13.080 And regardless
00:55:14.020 of which one
00:55:14.560 is better,
00:55:16.000 it's better to
00:55:16.520 have both.
00:55:17.760 Especially if
00:55:18.440 you have the
00:55:18.760 shot first and
00:55:19.720 then you get
00:55:20.160 the natural
00:55:20.880 immunity on
00:55:21.440 top of it.
00:55:22.360 Because then
00:55:22.760 you'll be
00:55:23.100 protected from
00:55:23.920 hospitalization,
00:55:25.240 mostly.
00:55:25.500 And then
00:55:26.760 you'll get
00:55:27.060 the full
00:55:27.460 natural
00:55:27.880 immunity.
00:55:29.060 And then
00:55:29.520 I think we
00:55:31.900 know that both
00:55:32.440 the shot and
00:55:33.500 natural immunity
00:55:34.140 wane over
00:55:34.820 time.
00:55:35.880 But it
00:55:37.240 could be that
00:55:37.800 the natural
00:55:38.320 immunity doesn't
00:55:39.140 wane the
00:55:39.720 same way.
00:55:41.940 We don't
00:55:42.580 know that yet,
00:55:43.300 so that's still
00:55:43.720 a little bit
00:55:44.100 open.
00:55:44.920 But it
00:55:46.100 could be that
00:55:46.600 natural
00:55:46.960 immunity morphs
00:55:48.680 into something
00:55:49.300 that can more
00:55:50.760 quickly reconstitute
00:55:52.580 itself.
00:55:53.700 Whereas we
00:55:54.620 don't know if
00:55:55.080 that's true
00:55:55.420 of the shots.
00:55:56.160 If the shots
00:55:56.620 wear off,
00:55:57.920 is there any
00:55:58.600 traces of
00:55:59.900 them left that
00:56:00.360 can quickly
00:56:00.880 reconstitute what
00:56:01.920 was there?
00:56:02.920 Don't know.
00:56:04.160 But that's
00:56:04.800 where we're
00:56:05.120 at.
00:56:06.320 Andres
00:56:06.700 Bekaus notes
00:56:07.700 that the
00:56:08.300 immunity from
00:56:09.960 infections versus
00:56:11.680 the two shots
00:56:12.460 is still
00:56:12.860 uncertain.
00:56:14.020 So we don't
00:56:14.740 have data for
00:56:15.320 that.
00:56:15.600 All right.
00:56:19.320 And that
00:56:20.180 is what I
00:56:21.900 wanted to say
00:56:22.480 today.
00:56:23.140 That is
00:56:24.880 everything I
00:56:25.400 wanted to
00:56:25.700 say today.
00:56:31.000 Oh,
00:56:31.520 here's a
00:56:31.860 counterpoint.
00:56:32.880 I do not
00:56:33.400 agree that
00:56:34.540 both are
00:56:35.420 better.
00:56:36.180 You'll have
00:56:36.520 whatever the
00:56:37.100 VAX got to
00:56:37.860 give you,
00:56:38.620 plus, yeah.
00:56:40.320 So you get
00:56:42.140 the benefits of
00:56:43.140 both the
00:56:43.520 natural immunity
00:56:44.220 plus the
00:56:45.040 shots, but
00:56:46.340 you also get
00:56:47.060 whatever risks
00:56:48.200 come with
00:56:49.760 both getting
00:56:50.540 the virus
00:56:52.360 and also the
00:56:54.160 risk of
00:56:54.560 getting the
00:56:54.940 vaccine itself.
00:56:55.820 So that's
00:56:56.120 true.
00:56:56.820 But I don't
00:56:57.140 know that
00:56:57.440 that changes
00:56:57.920 your...
00:56:59.460 Mark says,
00:57:01.180 from one
00:57:01.700 cartoonist to
00:57:02.320 another, what
00:57:03.760 do you make
00:57:04.080 of Ben
00:57:04.420 Garrison's work
00:57:05.240 as a fellow
00:57:05.840 cartoonist?
00:57:07.500 Brilliant.
00:57:08.860 Ben
00:57:09.100 Garrison's work
00:57:10.020 as a
00:57:10.800 cartoonist, I
00:57:11.520 say, is
00:57:11.860 brilliant.
00:57:12.940 Why?
00:57:13.840 Because he
00:57:14.360 found a
00:57:14.860 market and
00:57:16.100 then he
00:57:16.420 addressed his
00:57:17.040 market.
00:57:18.020 Now, you
00:57:18.720 know, it
00:57:19.080 might not
00:57:19.400 be your
00:57:19.660 thing, if
00:57:20.200 you're left
00:57:20.580 leaning or
00:57:21.120 whatever, but
00:57:22.100 in terms of
00:57:22.980 a, let's
00:57:25.240 see, the
00:57:25.660 commercial
00:57:26.180 decisions,
00:57:28.540 they're right
00:57:29.300 on.
00:57:30.000 So you
00:57:30.260 found a
00:57:30.620 market, you
00:57:31.080 served his
00:57:31.500 market, and
00:57:31.900 he does it
00:57:32.300 very well,
00:57:33.140 very well.
00:57:33.920 So you
00:57:35.520 can disagree
00:57:36.040 with his
00:57:36.480 point of
00:57:36.880 view, that's
00:57:37.480 a separate
00:57:37.860 question, but
00:57:39.040 as a
00:57:39.420 cartoonist,
00:57:40.060 yeah, very
00:57:40.500 good, very
00:57:41.280 good.
00:57:45.660 All right,
00:57:46.340 that's about
00:57:46.700 all I
00:57:46.940 have.
00:57:47.140 I've got
00:57:47.320 to run
00:57:47.640 and do
00:57:47.980 something
00:57:48.200 else, and
00:57:49.420 thanks for
00:57:51.260 joining in.
00:57:52.560 Thank you.
