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.
