00:00:00.000
Good morning, everybody, and thanks for making it to this very special episode of Coffee with Scott Adams.
00:00:08.980
What makes it special? You do. Yeah, you being here. Makes it special every time.
00:00:16.020
But if you'd like to take it up a notch, and why wouldn't you, really? It'd be crazy not to.
00:00:21.260
All you need is a cup of mug or glass, a tanker, chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug of glass, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:27.500
Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:30.000
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine here of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:38.260
It's called simultaneous sip. Yeah. And it's going to make everything better.
00:00:50.300
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Well, let's see how many things that made better.
00:00:53.940
Probably was already happening before you took your first sip, just in anticipation.
00:01:00.000
Well, here's some good news. Congress avoided the debt ceiling. Yeah. Big news.
00:01:11.680
How did they do that? How did they make this accomplishment?
00:01:15.020
By failing? That's right. We're giving them credit for creating an artificial rule that they then violated.
00:01:26.700
And then made another rule that said it's okay to violate the artificial rule that they made and then didn't follow.
00:01:33.340
So they made another rule to say it was really okay to violate the artificial rule that never had a purpose before.
00:01:42.920
You know, for a while there, I was thinking you were still completely worthless.
00:01:48.740
But now that I realize that you've created a rule that you got rid of, well, there's progress.
00:02:02.240
What is the biggest news on Fox News every Saturday morning? Anybody? Anybody?
00:02:09.260
What will take a huge part of the real estate on the Fox News website every Saturday?
00:02:22.080
News about what Bill Maher said on Friday night.
00:02:28.580
Why is it that Bill Maher is, like, the biggest news every Saturday?
00:02:36.500
Now, the reason, of course, is that he's doing the man bites dog thing on a show every day now.
00:02:43.960
Basically, he's identified more with the left of the country.
00:02:50.640
Now, quite reasonably, quite reasonably, he's criticizing them.
00:02:54.280
But being a reasonable critic of your own team makes you national news.
00:03:04.080
It's like he's single-handedly trying to save the Democrats and they're not listening.
00:03:08.840
It's like, you know there are some elections coming up, right?
00:03:15.880
You're all, you know, this is my Bill Maher impression without doing an impression.
00:03:21.180
You're all aware that there will be maybe consequences for the way things are working out so far.
00:03:32.140
Do you think you're going to win an election just the way things are?
00:03:42.100
How the hell do you expect to win an election when you're doing all of this stuff?
00:03:50.520
Dave Rubin calls him the airlock with the Democratic Party.
00:03:58.020
So, he's sounding the alarm about the border crisis.
00:04:01.740
And obviously, that's going to be a big problem for the Democrats.
00:04:06.340
Well, in the least surprising news category, this should be my news, my new category.
00:04:21.820
Perpetual news would be like, Pope denounces violence.
00:04:29.540
Or, it looks like you'll be wearing your masks longer than we hoped.
00:04:35.580
Or, it looks like they're not going to make a deal on the $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill.
00:04:49.800
Things that you knew were going to happen, you're just waiting for it.
00:04:53.360
Turns out that the new George Floyd statue in New York City got defaced.
00:05:06.920
They basically created an object that will almost certainly cause more racial division.
00:05:16.980
You know, obviously there's no similarity between a Civil War statue and a George Floyd statue, right?
00:05:27.420
So, I'm not comparing a George Floyd statue to a Civil War statue.
00:05:33.020
But, they do have one thing in common, just one thing, which they make racial division worse.
00:05:43.580
Because that thing's going to get defaced a lot by, you know, not nice people.
00:05:48.400
And I feel like it was a step in the wrong direction.
00:05:54.320
Did you know that the fentanyl coming into this country comes not just from China providing the precursors to the Mexican cartels, but specifically from Wuhan?
00:06:11.420
Yeah, Wuhan, the home of potentially the source of the coronavirus, we think, but also the main source of the fentanyl that's coming into the United States, killing, oh, I don't know, 75,000, 80,000 people a year.
00:06:25.300
That might be the total, not the fentanyl portion, but it's a big number.
00:06:46.100
Marusha says, just sent you a video on Twitter about China developing race-based biological weapons using precision medicine.
00:06:57.860
Well, I'm not sure I want to say that out loud because I haven't seen the article, so I don't know the credibility of it yet.
00:07:19.660
He was a black man shot by police and reportedly unarmed.
00:07:26.800
I remember during the Trump administration, it seemed like there were way, way too many.
00:07:34.540
But way too many black people being shot by police were unarmed.
00:07:40.860
And so it was reported by Jake Tapper on CNN and Washington Post.
00:07:48.540
And today we find out that the police officer who shot him won't be charged.
00:07:54.520
How could you possibly not charge the police officer who shot an unarmed black man?
00:08:11.820
And he turned threateningly toward the police after having had, you know, previous scuffles,
00:08:22.520
And so the police officer is not charged because it was self-defense.
00:08:27.760
Now, as others will point out, the news got out far before the correction.
00:08:36.420
How many people will see the correction versus how many people saw the fake news?
00:08:44.180
The correction never gets attention relative to the original story.
00:08:49.920
So why is it that during the Biden administration, we're now seeing this huge uptick in police officers
00:09:09.760
Now that Trump isn't president, police just said, hey, we'll just stop shooting unarmed people now?
00:09:16.980
Well, there are fewer police, but not that much fewer.
00:09:20.740
Yeah, I've got a feeling that, you know, everything from the Black Lives Matter protests to Antifa
00:09:26.880
to the police shootings were always based on real things in many cases.
00:09:33.820
But I think the media did quite the job on the public there, didn't they?
00:09:42.540
You know, I'm fascinated by the Nobel Prize stories about the winners.
00:09:47.760
I was reading an article about how some people found out they won.
00:09:51.760
And people have all kinds of different reactions to winning the Nobel Prize.
00:09:55.680
But I'll tell you, if I were the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, the one that you think maybe has the most subjectivity,
00:10:08.480
I suppose all the science ones in chemistry and science have a lot of subjectivity too.
00:10:14.340
But if you win the Literature Prize, what does that really mean?
00:10:22.140
If you win one of the scientific-oriented ones or the economics-oriented prizes, or even the Peace Prize,
00:10:29.660
you've done something that's probably pretty important.
00:10:33.460
But what if you get the Nobel Prize in Literature?
00:10:38.700
Do you think that the Nobel Committee read all the books that year?
00:10:43.380
Or, you know, previous years, because it's not just for that year?
00:10:53.080
How do they know even what things to look at to give it a Nobel?
00:10:56.140
Well, I would argue that the Nobel Prize in Literature is just worthless.
00:11:09.600
There's a committee of people, and people, authors and publishers, submit work.
00:11:20.780
You have to submit it, so that narrows it down to a small set.
00:11:23.800
And then the people on the committee read some of those books,
00:11:40.180
I mean, certainly if I won the Nobel Prize for Literature,
00:12:08.920
Am I wrong that there was big complaints about diversity
00:12:13.000
because there were too many white men winning too many of these prizes,
00:12:17.480
but the prize for the Nobel Prize in Literature,
00:12:21.540
did that not go to an African man, a black man from Africa?
00:12:37.620
How would you feel if you won the Nobel Prize in the context of everybody saying,
00:12:42.580
you know, we need to spread these around a little bit better.
00:12:46.200
We need to make sure we've got some diversity in here.
00:13:00.360
We'll just find an African man and give him that prize.
00:13:04.280
Now, I'm not saying that he didn't write a terrific book.
00:13:10.340
So nothing here should be interpreted as, you know,
00:13:14.200
the gentleman who won that prize is anything but a brilliant writer
00:13:18.580
who probably deserves all kinds of recognition.
00:13:22.380
But the point is, you kind of could have given that to a lot of different people.
00:13:27.520
There probably were some decent books that got written in the last 10 years, right?
00:13:31.760
So I feel like I'd be, I don't know, almost a little bit insulted.
00:13:40.960
You know, publicly, I'd be bragging my brains out.
00:13:52.520
I'm going to take off my microphones and be right back.
00:13:55.520
I want to make a little point and I need a visual aid.
00:14:38.820
It's so hard to put on your microphones when people are watching.
00:14:53.780
So I won this in 1997, National Cartoonist Society.
00:15:01.520
This award goes to the top cartoonist of the whole year.
00:15:11.360
And I thought to myself, my dream had come true.
00:15:17.200
As soon as I became a cartoonist, I said to myself, there is no higher honor.
00:15:28.640
Do you know how honored I am to have this prize?
00:15:47.380
For a few years in a row, Bill Watterson, who did Calvin and Hobbes, often considered the
00:15:55.280
best comic ever created, he would win this award.
00:15:59.240
And then the next year, he'd win it again because he was still better than everybody.
00:16:08.140
So how do you have an award, an award event, if all you're going to do is give the same
00:16:27.080
And so the organization that gives that changed the rules and said that you can only win it
00:16:34.340
You can only win it once in your career, the top award.
00:16:45.240
And there are only, I'm going to pick a number.
00:16:47.940
There are only, I don't know, 20 top cartoonists, right?
00:16:53.060
You have 20 that are in that upper realm, the ones you've heard of.
00:16:56.860
How many of the top 20 are going to win the top award in cartooning?
00:17:05.300
We're all going to get one because now it's just a participation award.
00:17:13.940
So likewise, I once met somebody whose wife was on the Pulitzer Prize committee.
00:17:21.380
And until I talked to this gentleman, I wanted a Pulitzer Prize.
00:17:26.400
I mean, who wouldn't want that on their permanent record?
00:17:29.820
Until I found out how they give away the Pulitzer Prize.
00:17:33.280
It's just some people who read some books that were submitted to say, I like this one.
00:17:40.420
A random group of people who have no special qualifications, except that they read books,
00:17:46.900
decided that on this little group, this one was a good one.
00:17:56.060
I suppose it's good to be nominated, because that means you're at least in the running for something.
00:18:03.560
So as soon as you win one of these awards, it becomes amazingly not important to you, personally.
00:18:11.680
But once you win one of these types of things, all the prestige and the feeling of accomplishment and stuff,
00:18:27.280
Apparently, there's an unprecedented or semi-unprecedented cold snap in the...
00:18:37.720
It's happening, I think, somewhere in the northern climb.
00:18:40.900
Anyway, so CNN is covering this record kind of cold snap.
00:18:49.120
And how do they talk about a cold snap in the context of climate change?
00:18:55.420
It's a little tricky now, because CNN and a lot of the media have been using this trick.
00:19:18.780
You know how the media has been covering the hurricanes and the other heat waves and the droughts?
00:19:25.760
They always cover every event as though it's a clear sign of climate change.
00:19:31.020
Oh, yeah, that hurricane, that's climate change.
00:19:53.280
Do they say, oh, here's some evidence against climate change?
00:20:06.800
It is important to understand weather is different from climate.
00:20:14.920
Now we hear that weather is different from climate.
00:20:22.660
Now, weather is what happens over shorter periods of time, days to months, such as the seven-day forecast.
00:20:33.920
Climate is what happens over much longer periods of time, such as several years or even entire generations.
00:20:51.360
Which can happen due to sudden changes in atmospheric circulation, not climate change.
00:20:58.900
No, no, it's just, you know, this is just like an exception thing.
00:21:05.860
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be true that either all of these things are influenced by climate change or you're not sure about any of them?
00:21:14.860
I don't feel like you can pick and choose these weather events, you know, these anecdotal things.
00:21:21.900
Now, I get, I do get that at this point, it does seem like we're starting to see the signal, as they like to say, the signal for climate change.
00:21:31.780
It seems to be showing up a little bit in the storm activity and stuff, maybe not completely clear yet.
00:21:40.300
But now, at least some people are saying they're starting to see it.
00:21:47.440
I'm just saying I'm not sure the date is there yet.
00:21:53.600
Anybody who doesn't know that Tony Heller is completely debunked, you probably need to Google that.
00:22:00.400
Because if you're still following the Tony Heller stuff, he was a lot of fun.
00:22:04.620
I followed him closely and dug down as much as I could.
00:22:12.400
Which is weird, because let me say this about him.
00:22:16.420
I suspect that some of his criticisms, Tony Heller this is, probably true.
00:22:22.480
But in the totality of things, he sort of would see what he wanted to see everywhere.
00:22:39.520
I completely agree with their point that weather events are different from climate.
00:22:46.600
Well, in exciting news, Lockheed Martin has delivered a flying laser weapon.
00:22:55.820
Now, I think it's still sort of a prototype that got proven on a test here.
00:23:08.040
Now, apparently, we're just within a few years of putting it into the field.
00:23:15.740
So it's sort of like, you know, five years, we're going to have flying lasers.
00:23:20.460
What can you do with a laser in a military setting?
00:23:34.860
Well, I imagine we'll be shooting down a lot of drones with these flying lasers.
00:23:50.760
That's probably on the actual plan from Lockheed Martin.
00:24:01.800
I've said this before, but the more we watch it, the more interesting it is.
00:24:06.180
That you're seeing lots of criticisms of Trump in the news.
00:24:10.260
No surprise, because he's looking at a run for 2024.
00:24:17.440
But what's interesting is that nearly all of the criticisms now are about what?
00:24:25.300
What are nearly all of the Trump criticisms about?
00:24:35.340
They've given up on criticizing him on policies.
00:24:44.420
So they have to find things that are sort of outside his job description.
00:24:48.280
So it's going to be all about his taxes and whatever financial things he may or may not have done.
00:24:53.740
And whether or not his business acumen and his private life is what he says it is.
00:25:00.220
And January 6th, which didn't have anything to do with his job description, per se, or his policies.
00:25:05.820
So I'm seeing something that borders on desperation.
00:25:13.900
Because just imagine that the entire media is not attacking him on the stuff of his job.
00:25:26.020
All of the criticism that Trump got about his job while he was on the office,
00:25:31.080
and the moment he's out and you have a real thing to compare him to, Biden,
00:25:42.040
Now, I'm not saying that he did everything, you know, free, that you couldn't criticize him.
00:25:50.180
Everybody's criticizing him for one thing or another.
00:25:53.400
But watching the focus be completely outside the realm of politics,
00:26:00.160
well, it's in politics, but outside the realm of his job description,
00:26:11.860
They've kind of agreed that he had good policies.
00:26:21.640
Here is just a sort of, I guess, a mental experiment.
00:26:28.580
I'm going to talk about an idea, but hear me clearly.
00:26:42.460
Hear me clearly when I say I'm not recommending this.
00:26:48.080
Suppose the government said to you, we'll give you three options,
00:26:55.040
you'll have something like a vaccine passport, even without the vaccine,
00:26:59.320
and you'll have access to everything in society.
00:27:04.720
No, your first choice is that you have access to everything in society
00:27:22.180
But just to throw out an alternative, suppose you can't get where you want
00:27:26.700
and you have to settle for something in between.
00:27:30.900
Suppose the government said you can have full access to everything if you're vaccinated
00:27:34.360
or if you have natural immunity and you can prove it.
00:27:39.920
Or I'll throw in that you did a rapid test within an hour or something.
00:27:57.340
So you'd have four ways to have full access to society.
00:28:03.600
Some version of rapid testing, which isn't as good as PCR,
00:28:09.700
Natural immunity, vaccinations, or to pass a written test.
00:28:12.960
Now, here's what most of you are thinking right now and putting in the comments.
00:28:23.160
Scott, who comes up with the questions on that test?
00:28:26.640
Scott, your plan is totally impractical because of who makes up the test, right?
00:28:36.900
It can never work because you would never trust the people who come up with the test.
00:28:53.660
You're all worried that the subjectivity of who creates the test is just going to make it garbage.
00:29:02.400
The test only has to ask, what does the CDC claim is true?
00:29:08.180
You're not asking the person what they think is true.
00:29:12.080
You're asking them, are they aware what the CDC says is true?
00:29:17.360
Now, I'm not talking about, like, exact numbers, but, you know, a test that gives you the general idea.
00:29:21.820
For example, if it gave you a multiple choice and said,
00:29:25.600
your risk of hospitalization according to the CDC.
00:29:31.900
What is your risk of hospitalization if you get the coronavirus?
00:29:46.300
We would simply ask if they're aware of what the government is telling them.
00:29:49.740
If they say, I am totally aware of what the government is telling them, telling me, and I don't believe it,
00:30:07.660
I've often said that one of the best purposes of the government, when they do it right,
00:30:13.880
is to inform the public, as opposed to forcing the public to do stuff.
00:30:23.180
And if a simple little test, it could be ten questions.
00:30:38.540
Now that I took away your objection to who makes the test,
00:30:42.800
you're only being tested on what the government says is true, not what's true.
00:31:15.820
I don't know if it's possible, because who would administer it and all that.
00:31:21.260
But remember you found out that there were so many people who thought the risk of the vaccination
00:31:26.900
was completely out of whack for the actual risk?
00:31:31.340
I think you would have a lot of Republicans answer the quiz and get the right answers and say,
00:31:39.600
Now I told you I have a very smart friend who is completely aware of all the risks and chooses to,
00:31:51.020
you know, just be natural, you know, just be natural, basically, and just not let science touch them as much as possible.
00:32:02.620
I'm not saying I agree with it, but it should be a free person's choice.
00:32:15.880
I think most of the people watching these live streams, probably you're drawn to them because, you know,
00:32:26.580
But if you can't get rid of them, there might be some negotiation you could do.
00:32:33.580
Drop the mandates, but also drop the restriction on people like me trying to convince you about that one.
00:32:44.640
So I restrain myself because I don't think it would be ethical for me to try to persuade you to do a medical process.
00:32:54.240
Would you say, we'll drop all of the mandates, nobody has to get vaccinated, but here's the deal.
00:33:04.540
Now, I don't think I would necessarily use that power because, again, unethical.
00:33:09.380
But I would imagine that there are other people who might want to just unleash their persuasion power,
00:33:30.040
Unleash the persuasion, but get rid of the mandate.
00:33:37.480
I'm not so sure that the professionals have been.
00:33:41.180
But I haven't seen anything that would look like professional work.
00:33:45.340
You know, nothing persuading you that looks like, you know, real consultants on persuasion were involved.
00:33:54.720
Take the DeSantis approach and focus on people in the high risk and let everybody else do what they want.
00:34:05.600
I mean, if you could get there, that'd be great.
00:34:23.240
Imagine Trump runs for president, and maybe the vaccination question will be dead by then.
00:34:29.900
Let's imagine just some politician, Republican, saying the following.
00:34:33.840
That when the public, 90% of the public can pass the CDC test, we'll drop the mandates.
00:34:46.320
So you personally would never have to take a test.
00:34:48.940
But every once in a while, they would randomly sample and give people the test and say,
00:34:54.160
if 90% of the people we randomly sample pass the test, you're all free.
00:35:02.360
And again, it's not a test of what's right or wrong.
00:35:05.120
It's a test of just what the CDC thinks is right.
00:35:10.440
If you know it, and you still choose to be unvaccinated, the country has spoken.
00:35:24.560
Well, you could just release a number of different polling entities.
00:35:35.480
And, you know, if all three of them say we got a 92% to 95% correct rate, that would be close enough.
00:36:03.020
All the gotcha people don't understand why that's not really a gotcha, but I'm too bored to explain it again.
00:36:09.680
But yes, I buy Chinese products, Chinese-made products, and there are some Dilbert products manufactured in China.
00:36:37.560
There's a Kamala Harris video going around in which she's talking to some, it looks like, young girls, maybe high school, or I'm not sure what age is there.
00:36:50.420
But they're involved in some kind of space camp or some space-related program to learn things, and she's talking to them.
00:36:59.660
And I would like to give you my impression, if you haven't seen it, my impression of Kamala Harris talking to young people in her totally natural way, which we all feel so comfortable with.
00:37:13.920
I have explained her style as a cross between the Harry Potter Gollum.
00:37:23.900
But in this case, the Gollum is on MDMA, ecstasy, and is inexplicably happy.
00:37:39.460
You know, the Gollum seems more like a pessimist, but he's taken some drugs, and now he's an optimist.
00:37:45.000
And this is Kamala Harris, and I'll use some of her own words.
00:38:09.820
That's why I'm so, I'm so, we're going to learn so much.
00:38:15.800
As we are curious and interested in the potential for discoveries.
00:38:30.900
You guys are literally going to see craters, craters on the moon with your own eyes.
00:38:37.280
All of you, with your own eyes, you can see craters on the moon.
00:38:47.820
And there are other things we haven't even figured out and discovered, and fascinating things.
00:39:04.700
Now, I don't know if that's my best work, but I spent a solid five minutes working on that impression,
00:39:34.700
All right, that explains why Kamala Harris, you're not seeing her so much in public.
00:39:45.040
How would you like to be the geniuses who were behind Biden with the understanding that maybe Kamala Harris would be that capable person who would take over if he failed?
00:39:59.040
I feel like the old spare tire's got a flat, if you know what I mean.
00:40:14.320
You might need a spare tire for the spare tire.
00:40:17.600
Oh, but at least, you know, if the spare tire doesn't work, you've got Nancy Pelosi.
00:40:22.960
You need a spare tire, and the spare tire, and the spare tire is what you need.
00:40:34.380
It turns out that there's a TikTok influencer, somebody who's got a pretty big following on TikTok, whose name is Tally Dilbert.
00:40:51.320
I'd like to apologize publicly to all the people.
00:40:58.120
There's some place where the last name Dilbert is fairly common.
00:41:02.400
I think it's the Bahamas, or somewhere in that general part of the world.
00:41:07.140
And I just feel bad for anybody who has that name.
00:41:13.860
Do you ever worry that somebody will ruin your name?
00:41:19.400
So, you know, I sent my Google alerts just to catch anything that somebody's saying about me in the media.
00:41:26.140
And I pick up a lot of Scott Adams news about people named Scott Adams who are not me.
00:41:32.620
It turns out a ton of us, us, me, being people named Scott Adams, are police officers and lawyers.
00:41:41.220
There's just a ton of people with my name, police officers and lawyers.
00:41:45.860
Maybe that's the only people who are in the news, so the sample is skewed.
00:41:51.800
But I worry that there will be somebody with my exact name, because there are so many of us.
00:42:02.060
Right where I live, I think there are four or five Scott Adamses.
00:42:23.680
So Honduran and also, but I also think the Bahamas have that last name.
00:42:31.120
Oh, there's some guy with your name who writes bad checks on a regular basis.
00:42:35.740
So I'm worried that there will be some Scott Adams who does like a horrible terrorist act or something.
00:42:41.500
And I'm going to have to deal with that for the rest of my life.
00:42:43.400
But I feel sorry also for the people who have my name who are not me.
00:42:46.960
At least if you have my name and you're me, you get some of the benefits, you know, being the Dilbert guy.
00:42:54.900
But imagine having my name but not getting any of the benefits.
00:43:01.680
Is Dilbert made in China with forced child labor?
00:43:15.200
Did I do a, do you think I did a factory check?
00:43:19.500
So all the gotcha people, let me just classify you all as idiots.
00:43:24.140
It's, you can gotcha all day long because I'm stipulating, right?
00:43:30.020
Gotcha doesn't work when the person you're gotching stipulates it.
00:43:39.100
You don't need to tell everybody because I told everybody.
00:43:52.340
Because if you want more people to know about that some Dilbert products are made in China,
00:44:18.600
I mean, I'm already bothered by the fact that there are products I'm associated with made in China.
00:44:27.480
Do you think that your public shaming of me would bother me more than the fact that the products are made in China?
00:44:35.480
I'm immune to public shame, but I really hate the fact that the country that killed my stepkid, I'm doing business with.
00:44:44.520
You can't make me like this less than I like it.
00:44:48.580
If you think any amount of shame can make me hate this situation more, you don't understand where I'm at on this situation.
00:45:16.380
I don't sign any contracts with Chinese companies, and nor would I.
00:45:22.760
Personally, my entity, which is a corporation, we don't sign any contracts with China.
00:45:30.880
Publishers do, and people who do third-party work do.
00:45:34.940
Now, I have a limited amount of power over them, but it's certainly something I brought up and will be bringing up again.
00:45:48.980
If they had alternatives, they'd be using them already.
00:45:56.400
I'm in control of everything, but I'm not in control of that.
00:46:04.760
You know, most of the people who disagree with me fall into this category of being absolutists in the sense that people are still arguing that the vaccination doesn't work because it doesn't work all the time exactly the way we hoped it would.
00:46:26.000
We all know it doesn't do everything we wish it did.
00:46:40.720
Yeah, I saw the mansion face plant behind Schumer.
00:46:46.200
You know, I didn't hear Schumer's speech, but I heard it was not ideal.
00:47:06.180
I saw a meme going around accusing him of saying something vile, not about the trans folks, but on another topic that looked like fake news.
00:47:17.400
Because there's no way that he said the things that the meme says he said.
00:47:22.440
So if you see that, I'm not even going to tell you what the topic is because it's so fake news.
00:47:30.780
There's no way that he said that in the same context as being reported anyway.
00:47:35.860
I'm going to have to see it myself and make that judgment.
00:47:49.960
Saying vaccines don't work is like saying they're safe and effective.
00:48:08.720
I will bow to the audience and say that according to the experts, they're effective-ish.
00:48:35.280
You know, I don't know what Andrew Yang hopes to accomplish.
00:48:41.640
But what he might accomplish is taking a lot of votes away from Democrats.
00:48:46.900
So, you know, that's probably all that's going to end up happening.
