Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1584 Scott Adams： On the Plus Side, China is Finally Uniting Americans. And More News

00:00:00.000 Bum-bum-bum. La-da-da. La-da-da. Bum-bum-ba-da-bum. Bum-bum-bum-ba. 0.52

00:00:10.440 Well, good morning, everybody. What a great day. Yeah, you don't know it yet, but it's

00:00:17.400 just getting better all the time. How about we take it up a notch? Anybody? Anybody want

00:00:23.740 to take it up a notch? Of course. Of course. What does that take? Well, I think you know.

00:00:28.820 I think you know all you need is a cuppa, a mug, a glass, a tank, a chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:37.080 Fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.

00:00:41.980 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day.

00:00:46.720 The thing makes everything better.

00:00:49.660 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and things are going pretty well right now, so this will make it better.

00:00:56.940 Go.

00:00:58.820 Yeah, any kind.

00:01:02.320 That's right, Nick.

00:01:04.020 Any kind.

00:01:07.020 Well, how many of you have watched the Beatles special?

00:01:13.520 I think it's only on Disney+.

00:01:14.920 It's called Get Back.

00:01:19.340 Oh, my God, it's good.

00:01:22.040 Now, I'm a super Beatles fan, not only their music, but their process.

00:01:29.760 And so I've been watching this thing.

00:01:32.240 I'm two-thirds done.

00:01:34.860 I've been watching this special and learning how the Beatles operated in terms of systems versus goals.

00:01:41.200 Oh, my God, I'm learning a lot.

00:01:44.380 And I'm compiling it, and I'll share it with you what I'm learning when I'm done.

00:01:50.380 But watching how they run things like a system, as opposed to having a specific goal.

00:01:57.960 I mean, you know, obviously they have goals on deadlines and stuff.

00:02:00.480 But the systems that they employed completely explain their success.

00:02:06.100 You know, they're talented, of course.

00:02:08.180 But the systems really describe what makes them so great.

00:02:12.880 Anyway, I'll share more about that when I finish it.

00:02:16.280 So I ask this question, why is the gas price where I live in California approaching $6 a gallon?

00:02:25.240 I saw $5.85 in California.

00:02:30.840 Not in my town, but somebody sent me a picture from Southern California.

00:02:35.460 In my town, we're over $5, well over $5 now.

00:02:39.000 And it's approaching $6 a gallon for the high-end gas in Southern California.

00:02:46.980 So I ask, why is that when it's cheaper in other states?

00:02:50.000 Because I couldn't understand why market forces were not working.

00:02:54.180 And I have to confess, I don't pay too much attention to local, state, anything.

00:02:59.240 So it didn't take long for people to answer my question.

00:03:03.040 Yeah, somebody's saying it's $2.99 in Texas, half the price.

00:03:06.320 And the answer is a combination of two things.

00:03:09.880 Number one, we don't have that many sources of gas

00:03:14.200 because we don't have pipelines.

00:03:17.680 So we don't have oil pipelines.

00:03:19.680 So we have to get it maybe from limited sources

00:03:25.540 because the gas line, I think, would get more competition.

00:03:28.340 But the other is that apparently we, California,

00:03:33.420 can only buy California special gas, which I just learned today.

00:03:39.940 Apparently our gas has to be refined in some special way

00:03:43.540 to make it greener, I assume.

00:03:47.160 So we don't have market competition the way other places do.

00:03:51.300 So that probably explains it.

00:03:52.640 So it's been a few days now since that alleged racist group

00:03:58.860 called the Patriot Front staged their protest at the Capitol.

00:04:05.560 Now, almost everybody that tweeted about it that I saw said,

00:04:11.040 that's obviously fake.

00:04:13.780 People said, that looks like a bunch of FBI guys

00:04:17.720 pretending to be a racist group.

00:04:21.200 I'm not even sure if they're a racist group or what they are.

00:04:24.740 They don't call themselves conservatives.

00:04:27.660 So maybe that's part of the reason we're not hearing much about them.

00:04:30.600 They don't fit the narrative.

00:04:32.420 But why is it that both the right and the left news ignored this?

00:04:39.300 Do you know why?

00:04:41.180 Because that's still a mystery, right?

00:04:43.240 It certainly makes sense that maybe Fox News would cover it

00:04:47.980 and then be done with it.

00:04:50.000 Because it's not really good for, you know, their side of the narrative.

00:04:54.680 But why did CNN and MSNBC just drop it?

00:04:58.720 Why do you think?

00:05:01.000 Is it because it was too obviously fake?

00:05:05.260 Because look how we've changed.

00:05:09.720 Let me give you a thought experiment.

00:05:11.680 If the Charlottesville march happened today,

00:05:16.360 would you think it was real?

00:05:20.060 Would you?

00:05:21.460 In the comments, I want to see your actual answers to that.

00:05:25.140 If the Charlottesville march happened today,

00:05:28.300 is your first instinct that it was real or fake?

00:05:30.900 Your first instinct would be that it was fake, right?

00:05:34.740 If it happened today.

00:05:36.560 But that's kind of what we learned.

00:05:39.320 And I'm not making a comment about Charlottesville.

00:05:42.140 I do think there was something terribly fake about it.

00:05:46.440 But it actually happened.

00:05:48.060 And I'm sure that there were members there

00:05:49.600 who were just as racist as they looked.

00:05:51.320 But there's something about it that we don't know yet.

00:05:55.600 Right?

00:05:56.720 Because I still say the lack of follow-up

00:05:59.440 with all those people who had no masks on.

00:06:02.560 Remember, they didn't have masks.

00:06:04.340 They were widely filmed and didn't have masks.

00:06:07.520 And yet it still kind of died.

00:06:09.520 I think there was like some minor follow-up of a few members

00:06:12.720 who may have had some subsequent problems or something.

00:06:16.200 But why is it that the January 6th crowd

00:06:19.600 is all being hunted down and their identities found?

00:06:23.860 But the Charlottesville crowd,

00:06:25.980 we have the same tools plus photos of all of their faces.

00:06:30.500 And nobody's sort of looking into it.

00:06:33.160 There was something about that Charlottesville march

00:06:35.900 that definitely was racist.

00:06:39.260 I'm not saying it didn't happen 0.99

00:06:40.580 or that somehow it was completely misidentified.

00:06:44.600 But there was just something about it

00:06:47.520 that was a little extra.

00:06:49.600 Don't you think?

00:06:51.280 A little extra?

00:06:52.340 As in who was backing them?

00:06:53.900 Who encouraged it monetarily anyway?

00:06:58.480 And so now we can fast forward to this week

00:07:01.800 and this Patriot Front does this march

00:07:04.720 which would have scared the bejesus out of us 1.00

00:07:06.800 in normal times.

00:07:08.320 But I think everybody on the right anyway

00:07:10.600 looked at it and said,

00:07:12.080 well, that doesn't look real.

00:07:13.000 But why did the left think that?

00:07:16.920 That's a mystery, isn't it?

00:07:18.760 Why did the left not try to make a daily story out of this?

00:07:23.680 Because it would have been so,

00:07:25.260 I think so perfectly fitting their narrative.

00:07:28.740 A bunch of white people looking scary. 0.91

00:07:32.360 There's something going on here, isn't there?

00:07:34.420 Something very unexplained about this.

00:07:37.420 Don't know what it is.

00:07:38.520 Well, maybe the news on CNN will get less fake

00:07:42.740 and also on MSNBC.

00:07:45.720 Here's why I say that.

00:07:47.780 So Chris Cuomo, as you know, famously

00:07:49.740 has been released for a number of scandals.

00:07:53.260 A number of, a variety of scandals.

00:07:55.860 Who knows how many of them are true.

00:07:58.120 In today's world, it's hard to know what's true.

00:08:01.000 But we do know he helped his brother

00:08:03.620 and if that was enough,

00:08:05.200 well, I guess that would be enough.

00:08:07.920 But he's being replaced, at least temporarily,

00:08:10.480 by Smirconish.

00:08:13.020 Michael Smirconish.

00:08:14.700 Now, if you watch my live streams,

00:08:16.400 you know that I've called out

00:08:18.100 Michael Smirconish

00:08:20.700 as being not like the rest of the CNN hosts.

00:08:25.460 He's not the crazy conspiracy guy

00:08:29.000 who's taking every bit of information

00:08:32.120 and twisting it to be bad for the right.

00:08:34.840 He's way more down the middle.

00:08:38.560 And way more down the middle than Cuomo was or is.

00:08:43.020 So I wonder if this will signal a change.

00:08:45.640 Now, he's temporary.

00:08:47.200 So he may not be the permanent replacement

00:08:49.300 for that time slot.

00:08:50.200 But if he were,

00:08:52.840 that would signal, in my mind,

00:08:56.080 maybe some intention on CNN's side

00:09:00.880 to be a little more even-handed.

00:09:03.540 But does that get good ratings?

00:09:07.240 If they put somebody in that time slot

00:09:09.280 who is even-handed or even more even-handed,

00:09:11.920 would that do well for ratings?

00:09:14.400 I doubt it.

00:09:16.120 Because people don't watch CNN

00:09:17.700 for even-handed treatment, do they?

00:09:20.200 Or Fox, for that matter.

00:09:22.120 I mean, people watch the news source

00:09:24.400 that agrees with them.

00:09:26.220 I don't know that they could make a business model

00:09:28.260 out of being fair-minded.

00:09:30.140 But maybe they'll try.

00:09:31.780 Likewise, Rachel Maddow is out of a job.

00:09:35.120 Well, I mean, she's moving on by her own accord.

00:09:39.340 And by her own preference.

00:09:43.120 But that means her job is up for grabs.

00:09:45.460 Who would be more, let's say, provocative

00:09:50.020 than Rachel Maddow,

00:09:51.240 at least in terms of attacking the right?

00:09:54.100 It would be hard to find somebody

00:09:55.600 who is both as effective,

00:09:58.060 you know, people want to watch that person,

00:10:00.720 but also that, you know, biased.

00:10:03.260 So maybe they can find a person who's like that,

00:10:06.460 but maybe things are getting better.

00:10:09.220 Just sort of on their own.

00:10:10.380 Keith Olbermann.

00:10:11.040 And that's funny.

00:10:13.240 Now, this, of course, is the most optimistic take.

00:10:16.600 They could, you know, both these jobs

00:10:19.360 will probably be replaced.

00:10:22.080 You know, the spots will be filled by people

00:10:23.780 who are just as provocative in their own way.

00:10:26.740 But I'll be optimistic until something changes.

00:10:30.280 So I tweeted this today.

00:10:31.640 It's sort of a thought experiment.

00:10:33.880 Imagine a journalist, you know, high-end journalist,

00:10:36.920 somebody who would be published

00:10:38.380 in any of the, you know, big news publications.

00:10:42.040 Imagine if a journalist wrote

00:10:43.340 a great investigative piece

00:10:46.040 that outlined all the major hoaxes

00:10:48.860 that have been in the media,

00:10:50.020 left and right, you know,

00:10:51.440 don't focus on one side,

00:10:53.860 and just did a real good job of showing the hoax

00:10:56.400 and how it was perpetrated

00:10:58.180 and what people believed and what was true.

00:11:01.060 It could be the greatest investigative piece,

00:11:04.940 really making the last five years

00:11:08.600 make sense for the first time.

00:11:11.320 You know what would happen?

00:11:12.900 It would get buried, wouldn't it?

00:11:15.860 I don't think you could publish it,

00:11:17.660 or at least you couldn't publish it

00:11:18.980 with much success.

00:11:20.840 Because who's going to talk about it?

00:11:23.760 Is CNN going to have you on

00:11:25.380 to talk about all the hoaxes

00:11:26.740 that they perpetuated?

00:11:28.700 They can't.

00:11:29.560 No news entity would be able to run the story

00:11:34.160 about somebody who did

00:11:36.300 an excellent investigative piece

00:11:38.200 and found all the hoaxes.

00:11:40.560 So we've developed a system

00:11:42.560 that can't police itself.

00:11:46.300 Great. Great.

00:11:48.520 A non-self-correcting system.

00:11:51.480 One of the great things about capitalism

00:11:54.480 and about democracy

00:11:57.360 is that in many cases

00:11:58.660 they're self-correcting, right?

00:12:00.740 If there's an imperfection,

00:12:02.620 the system will, you know,

00:12:03.840 get rid of it over time.

00:12:05.260 Not as fast as you want,

00:12:06.480 but over time.

00:12:08.400 But how do you get rid of the fact

00:12:10.040 that a journalist could not write

00:12:12.200 an honest investigative piece?

00:12:15.260 That's a pretty...

00:12:16.140 That's a pretty big...

00:12:18.400 pretty big deal, isn't it?

00:12:20.300 Well, I'd say that's trouble.

00:12:25.640 So Dean Obadiah,

00:12:28.040 who you may recognize his name

00:12:32.280 because he writes a lot of opinion pieces

00:12:33.800 for CNN,

00:12:35.280 but typically he had been focusing

00:12:37.040 on anti-Trump hit pieces.

00:12:41.120 But when Trump's less in the news,

00:12:43.180 he's got to go after other Republicans.

00:12:44.760 He decided to go after Thomas Massey

00:12:46.580 who had a family,

00:12:49.520 a humorous...

00:12:50.720 I'm going to call it...

00:12:51.680 That's my interpretation.

00:12:53.420 Humorous, but also making a point,

00:12:55.480 a serious point.

00:12:57.980 Christmas card of the family

00:12:59.860 and they're all holding, you know,

00:13:01.380 pretty serious weapons.

00:13:03.440 Legal.

00:13:04.440 Legal weapons,

00:13:05.340 but pretty serious looking ones.

00:13:08.040 And, you know,

00:13:08.880 they're all smiling,

00:13:09.660 holding their weapons

00:13:10.380 and the caption was something

00:13:12.240 about hoping Santa brought ammo.

00:13:15.640 Now, this is...

00:13:16.760 This is what Dean Obadiah,

00:13:20.300 how he characterizes this

00:13:22.140 because he's shocked and shocked

00:13:24.400 and deeply concerned

00:13:26.780 about this horrible, horrible situation here.

00:13:30.560 And he wrote this, quote,

00:13:32.520 To Massey, it seems,

00:13:33.980 this is all fun and games.

00:13:35.920 Is that vile?

00:13:37.660 Yes.

00:13:38.400 Surprising?

00:13:39.500 Unfortunately, no.

00:13:41.060 Massey is displaying a combination

00:13:42.620 of cruelty, heartlessness,

00:13:44.640 and extremism

00:13:45.600 that has come to define

00:13:47.300 today's GOP.

00:13:50.360 Really, is that what you saw?

00:13:52.240 When you saw the Christmas card

00:13:53.600 of his smiling family

00:13:54.760 with their totally legal

00:13:56.560 Second Amendment firearms?

00:13:59.440 You saw that and you said,

00:14:00.680 Well, there's some cruelty

00:14:02.180 and heartlessness

00:14:02.860 and extremism going on there.

00:14:06.160 Was that your interpretation?

00:14:07.300 Or did you just say to yourself,

00:14:10.000 Oh, Thomas Massey knows

00:14:11.900 how to make a point?

00:14:14.260 That's all I thought.

00:14:15.740 It's like, Oh,

00:14:16.400 he's pretty good at making a point.

00:14:19.560 Well, if that's who they're going after,

00:14:21.420 they're running out of targets.

00:14:22.820 Speaking of running out of targets,

00:14:24.320 I heard on some news program yesterday

00:14:27.300 that at least some smart people

00:14:30.160 are thinking that Pete Buttigieg

00:14:32.780 is the most likely person

00:14:36.120 to run against

00:14:37.140 whoever the Republicans run.

00:14:39.420 You know, presumably Trump,

00:14:41.000 but maybe not.

00:14:43.060 What chance would Pete Buttigieg

00:14:44.680 have in a national election?

00:14:47.280 Can I point out

00:14:49.740 that he's white and male?

00:14:52.760 Now, I know what you're going to say,

00:14:53.760 but he's gay.

00:14:55.440 But he's gay. 0.71

00:14:57.120 How's that going to help him

00:14:58.080 with the black vote?

00:15:01.820 How's that going to help him

00:15:03.020 really with anything?

00:15:05.340 Do you know what the whole country is over?

00:15:08.520 Gayness. 0.98

00:15:09.900 Gayness. 0.98

00:15:10.920 Is there anybody?

00:15:12.080 Let's see in the comments.

00:15:13.160 Is there anybody here

00:15:14.700 who would make a voting decision

00:15:16.820 based on somebody's gayness

00:15:18.740 or lack of gayness?

00:15:20.840 Is there anybody?

00:15:22.940 Maybe you would.

00:15:24.020 Oh, I'm seeing some yeses.

00:15:25.160 But you have to talk for yourself.

00:15:26.460 Don't talk about other people.

00:15:28.020 You have to say,

00:15:28.840 would you personally

00:15:29.820 vote against him

00:15:32.420 for being gay?

00:15:36.380 I'm seeing some yeses.

00:15:38.540 I'm actually seeing some yeses.

00:15:40.380 Mostly noes.

00:15:41.200 But I imagine the yeses

00:15:44.220 have more to do with

00:15:45.420 some role model-y sort of thing.

00:15:48.580 Is that what you're thinking?

00:15:49.440 I can't imagine that being gay 1.00

00:15:52.320 would be an advantage.

00:15:56.000 Because I think we're over it, right?

00:15:58.220 You know, you'll always have

00:15:59.300 your lingering people

00:16:00.640 who feel it's, I don't know,

00:16:02.360 going to ruin their children

00:16:03.280 or something.

00:16:04.000 So I don't see how

00:16:04.940 it could be a positive.

00:16:06.620 Because I just don't think

00:16:07.560 enough people will vote for it

00:16:09.200 who would not have been voting

00:16:11.220 Democrat ticket,

00:16:12.520 straight ticket anyway.

00:16:13.900 I mean, isn't the gay population 1.00

00:16:15.700 90% Democrat?

00:16:18.120 They're just going to vote

00:16:18.900 that way anyway.

00:16:20.120 But if you throw a white gay guy 0.93

00:16:23.660 into the election,

00:16:26.260 does he win the black vote?

00:16:30.560 I mean, probably by a majority,

00:16:32.900 but it's not going to be enough.

00:16:34.820 I mean, that seems like

00:16:35.440 the worst thing you could do.

00:16:36.660 So he's not going to be

00:16:37.580 bringing in the women.

00:16:39.460 He's not going to be

00:16:40.260 bringing in the black vote.

00:16:41.280 How do you run as a Democrat

00:16:43.300 if you can't win the black vote

00:16:45.440 and the women vote? 1.00

00:16:46.920 Or at least, you know,

00:16:47.960 be the strongest person

00:16:49.760 for those two votes?

00:16:51.380 I don't know.

00:16:52.660 I don't see him competitive at all.

00:16:55.820 And he's the number one choice.

00:16:58.760 And by the way, I like him.

00:17:00.420 You know, a lot of people

00:17:01.220 give me a hard time.

00:17:03.360 But I think he's too political

00:17:06.100 in the sense that he might

00:17:08.220 depart common sense

00:17:09.740 to do what's right

00:17:10.480 for Democrats, I guess.

00:17:13.560 But he's definitely smart enough.

00:17:16.180 Can you at least give me that?

00:17:19.200 Can you at least...

00:17:21.220 Let's see if you can do this

00:17:22.880 in the comments.

00:17:24.040 Because I know most of you

00:17:25.260 are, you know, lean right,

00:17:26.800 so you're anti-Pete Buttigieg.

00:17:28.640 But in the comments,

00:17:29.680 can you at least give me this?

00:17:32.120 That he is a high-intelligence person.

00:17:35.020 Harvard.

00:17:37.480 I want to see if anybody

00:17:38.500 disagrees with that.

00:17:39.740 Okay, okay, most of you

00:17:43.020 are going to give me that.

00:17:44.100 And I would say that's true

00:17:44.920 for most of our presidents.

00:17:46.620 We don't really...

00:17:47.720 We don't really elect

00:17:49.220 dumb presidents.

00:17:54.360 Okay.

00:17:55.460 All right, so people

00:17:56.300 at least giving him

00:17:57.120 intelligence.

00:17:58.180 I think that's fair.

00:17:59.660 We should give him that.

00:18:02.020 Meanwhile,

00:18:03.260 another development

00:18:04.420 that makes me very happy.

00:18:06.500 Jake Tapper apparently

00:18:07.480 went very hard at China.

00:18:09.820 The country.

00:18:11.200 In his closing

00:18:12.360 of the

00:18:12.980 State of the Union,

00:18:15.460 I guess it is.

00:18:16.140 The thing he does

00:18:17.280 on the weekends.

00:18:18.840 And

00:18:19.260 let me compliment

00:18:21.520 Jake Tapper here.

00:18:23.900 All right?

00:18:24.200 So,

00:18:24.780 he and I have disagreed

00:18:26.080 on a number of topics.

00:18:27.960 So,

00:18:28.460 you may know my history

00:18:29.380 about that.

00:18:30.520 But

00:18:30.800 here is somebody...

00:18:33.480 I believe he has

00:18:34.580 Jewish background,

00:18:35.440 right?

00:18:35.640 Jake Tapper.

00:18:36.940 Is he Jewish?

00:18:37.880 Does he identify that way?

00:18:39.120 I don't know who identifies

00:18:40.140 as what anymore.

00:18:41.620 But

00:18:41.860 I've been saying that

00:18:43.280 anybody who takes

00:18:44.300 the phrase

00:18:45.060 never again seriously,

00:18:46.520 they can't be okay

00:18:47.520 with China

00:18:48.060 and what's happening

00:18:49.280 with the Uyghurs. 0.81

00:18:50.720 Now,

00:18:50.940 although the Uyghurs 0.99

00:18:51.660 are obviously

00:18:52.440 not Jewish,

00:18:54.140 it's kind of

00:18:55.360 similar.

00:18:58.100 I mean,

00:18:58.480 at least you'd

00:18:59.080 raise some flags.

00:19:01.800 And so,

00:19:02.180 Jake Tapper

00:19:02.740 remains consistent.

00:19:06.040 And that has

00:19:06.580 to be pointed out.

00:19:07.960 He is consistently,

00:19:09.200 obviously,

00:19:09.860 wouldn't want

00:19:10.560 the Holocaust 0.82

00:19:11.120 to happen again.

00:19:12.320 But here it is

00:19:13.040 happening in China

00:19:13.900 in some form.

00:19:15.320 And he is

00:19:16.060 pressing them hard

00:19:17.120 on it.

00:19:17.900 Went really hard at it.

00:19:18.940 So,

00:19:19.160 good for him.

00:19:20.500 And

00:19:20.840 what's weird

00:19:22.100 is it looks like

00:19:22.740 China is the thing 0.99

00:19:23.600 that will unite America.

00:19:26.180 Isn't that weird?

00:19:27.020 China will unite America 0.99

00:19:30.060 because I couldn't

00:19:30.940 agree more with

00:19:31.980 Chuck Schumer.

00:19:33.800 He's pretty tough

00:19:35.120 on China.

00:19:36.600 Couldn't agree more

00:19:37.400 with Jake Tapper

00:19:38.440 going tough on China.

00:19:40.200 So,

00:19:40.580 you're going to find

00:19:41.160 that this crosses

00:19:42.720 the aisle

00:19:43.420 like nothing else does.

00:19:46.000 So,

00:19:46.460 good on

00:19:47.040 Jake Tapper

00:19:48.140 for that.

00:19:49.620 And

00:19:49.900 he's also

00:19:52.940 putting some pressure

00:19:53.760 on the

00:19:54.420 International Olympics

00:19:55.740 Committee.

00:19:57.020 I mean,

00:19:58.300 that's going

00:19:59.060 pretty far.

00:20:00.500 Right?

00:20:01.240 And I'm going to

00:20:02.040 put a little more

00:20:02.620 pressure on them

00:20:03.340 in a little bit.

00:20:04.680 But I'd like to

00:20:05.480 point out that

00:20:06.040 World War III

00:20:06.720 has already begun

00:20:07.820 for all practical

00:20:08.760 purposes.

00:20:10.140 China is already 0.99

00:20:11.140 attacking us

00:20:11.840 every day

00:20:12.500 in a digital sense,

00:20:14.640 in a hacking sense.

00:20:16.140 They're attacking us

00:20:17.000 every day in a

00:20:17.580 persuasion sense.

00:20:18.860 We know that.

00:20:20.180 And they're even

00:20:21.020 hacking our satellites

00:20:21.940 every day

00:20:22.760 or trying to

00:20:23.860 jam them

00:20:24.820 and trying to

00:20:25.240 damage them.

00:20:25.740 And of course,

00:20:27.020 as we go into

00:20:27.560 space,

00:20:28.540 once that

00:20:29.280 territory is up

00:20:30.160 for grabs,

00:20:31.540 then it's a

00:20:32.360 territory fight.

00:20:34.200 So World War III

00:20:34.960 is on.

00:20:36.120 Looks like it will

00:20:36.900 continue into space.

00:20:38.020 I don't think

00:20:38.420 anything could

00:20:38.880 stop it from

00:20:39.440 happening.

00:20:41.400 And at least

00:20:42.360 Jake Tapper

00:20:43.700 is

00:20:45.140 sounding the

00:20:46.840 alarm

00:20:47.120 just as he

00:20:47.820 should.

00:20:49.860 Here's an

00:20:50.600 anecdotal story.

00:20:51.740 I want to see if

00:20:52.260 you have any

00:20:52.720 of your own.

00:20:54.280 How many of

00:20:54.900 you know

00:20:55.380 somebody who's,

00:20:57.800 let's say,

00:20:58.020 a CEO or

00:20:58.940 in charge of

00:21:00.080 manufacturing and

00:21:02.280 is manufacturing

00:21:03.120 in China?

00:21:04.740 So this is for,

00:21:05.920 I'm going to ask

00:21:06.480 you for a comment

00:21:07.140 in a minute to

00:21:08.000 see if you can

00:21:08.560 match this comment

00:21:09.400 that I heard.

00:21:10.400 But I heard that

00:21:11.400 of a specific

00:21:13.140 CEO who does

00:21:14.020 have manufacturing

00:21:14.800 in China,

00:21:16.340 and the

00:21:17.580 quote is,

00:21:18.280 he was,

00:21:18.880 quote,

00:21:19.460 desperate to

00:21:21.320 get manufacturing

00:21:22.300 out of China,

00:21:23.200 to get his

00:21:23.580 own company

00:21:24.060 out of China.

00:21:25.440 Desperate.

00:21:26.960 Desperate to

00:21:27.560 get out of

00:21:27.980 China.

00:21:30.400 That's an

00:21:30.980 interesting word,

00:21:31.760 isn't it?

00:21:32.980 How many of

00:21:33.700 you know a

00:21:34.340 CEO who is

00:21:36.260 also desperate

00:21:37.400 to get out of

00:21:38.160 China with 0.93

00:21:38.740 their manufacturing?

00:21:40.860 Anybody?

00:21:41.120 What's preventing

00:21:46.040 him?

00:21:46.380 It's just

00:21:46.680 practicality.

00:21:47.680 You've got to

00:21:48.200 spin up a new

00:21:48.920 factory.

00:21:49.540 You've got to

00:21:49.840 figure out how

00:21:50.300 to make it

00:21:50.680 work.

00:21:51.900 He probably

00:21:52.240 has long-term

00:21:53.560 leases or

00:21:54.760 long-term

00:21:55.240 agreements.

00:21:56.040 I don't know.

00:22:01.200 So you see

00:22:01.880 some disagreements.

00:22:06.560 So I don't see

00:22:07.380 anybody agreeing

00:22:08.060 with that,

00:22:08.380 so maybe this

00:22:08.940 is an exception.

00:22:09.480 So most of

00:22:11.620 you know

00:22:12.080 CEOs who

00:22:13.100 are compromised.

00:22:15.440 Tim Cook,

00:22:16.400 no.

00:22:19.660 Oh, here

00:22:20.380 we go.

00:22:21.480 I work for

00:22:22.120 a manufacturer

00:22:22.860 and we've

00:22:24.340 moved most

00:22:24.960 of our

00:22:25.200 manufacturing

00:22:25.680 out of

00:22:26.080 China into 0.79

00:22:26.620 India and

00:22:27.180 Thailand,

00:22:27.840 but probably

00:22:28.460 not recently,

00:22:29.220 right?

00:22:37.960 But Tim

00:22:38.960 Cook is

00:22:39.980 he's not

00:22:41.300 how hard

00:22:42.420 is he going

00:22:42.940 at this

00:22:43.320 to get out

00:22:43.720 of China?

00:22:44.180 I don't

00:22:44.340 know that

00:22:44.600 he's going

00:22:44.960 that hard.

00:22:46.440 Anyway,

00:22:46.760 let's talk

00:22:47.120 about the

00:22:47.620 Joe Biden's

00:22:49.340 administration

00:22:49.980 is thinking

00:22:50.640 about having

00:22:51.540 a diplomatic

00:22:52.340 boycott of

00:22:54.240 the Winter

00:22:55.180 Olympics

00:22:55.580 that will be

00:22:55.920 in Beijing.

00:22:57.100 Now,

00:22:57.560 a diplomatic

00:22:58.180 boycott would

00:22:58.960 still allow

00:22:59.480 the athletes

00:23:00.920 to compete.

00:23:03.660 It would

00:23:04.180 still allow

00:23:04.700 the athletes

00:23:05.300 to compete.

00:23:05.920 Is that

00:23:07.280 enough?

00:23:09.240 Because I'm

00:23:10.180 imagining this

00:23:10.900 conversation

00:23:11.600 someday in

00:23:12.460 the future

00:23:12.900 if we

00:23:13.540 imagine that

00:23:14.100 our athletes,

00:23:14.920 American

00:23:15.180 athletes compete

00:23:16.120 and they

00:23:17.100 usually do

00:23:17.540 pretty well,

00:23:18.320 so they

00:23:18.640 probably win

00:23:19.080 some medals.

00:23:20.200 Here's a

00:23:20.620 conversation

00:23:21.480 that will

00:23:21.980 happen someday

00:23:22.640 in the future.

00:23:24.340 So,

00:23:25.020 where do you

00:23:25.520 win your

00:23:25.820 gold medal?

00:23:27.920 Can we

00:23:28.480 change the

00:23:28.920 subject?

00:23:29.160 Imagine if

00:23:31.640 you won a

00:23:32.060 gold medal

00:23:32.620 in Hitler's 0.97

00:23:33.780 Germany.

00:23:35.200 Because somebody

00:23:36.360 did, right?

00:23:37.700 Somebody won

00:23:38.500 some gold

00:23:38.920 medals in

00:23:40.000 Hitler's 0.98

00:23:40.480 Germany.

00:23:41.320 When they

00:23:41.820 talk about

00:23:42.360 it, do

00:23:43.460 they say,

00:23:43.860 yeah, I

00:23:44.460 got one of

00:23:44.840 those Hitler 0.97

00:23:45.420 gold medals?

00:23:47.080 Or do they

00:23:47.760 just say,

00:23:48.780 yeah, I did

00:23:49.140 well in the

00:23:49.520 Olympics, let's

00:23:50.080 move on,

00:23:51.400 move on,

00:23:52.380 next topic.

00:23:53.680 Yeah, yeah, I

00:23:54.160 got some medals,

00:23:54.940 next topic,

00:23:55.580 next topic.

00:23:56.600 Yeah, Jesse

00:23:57.100 Owens, of

00:23:57.600 course.

00:23:59.160 So, it's

00:24:00.880 going to be a

00:24:01.240 little embarrassing

00:24:01.860 to get your

00:24:02.600 gold medal in

00:24:03.580 China, but 0.90

00:24:05.180 people are

00:24:05.540 probably going

00:24:05.900 to go anyway.

00:24:07.180 I saw some

00:24:07.740 pushback saying

00:24:08.500 it was terribly,

00:24:09.480 terribly unfair

00:24:10.280 to ask the

00:24:12.620 athletes to

00:24:13.380 suffer who

00:24:13.960 had, you

00:24:14.420 know, prepared

00:24:15.840 their entire

00:24:16.400 life for

00:24:16.840 Olympics, and

00:24:17.940 it wasn't

00:24:18.280 their fault

00:24:18.820 that it's in

00:24:19.720 China, right?

00:24:20.860 Nobody asked

00:24:21.440 them.

00:24:22.480 So, why

00:24:23.040 should they

00:24:23.400 suffer for

00:24:24.620 some political

00:24:25.400 point?

00:24:26.840 To which I

00:24:27.720 say,

00:24:28.020 who said

00:24:29.460 life is

00:24:29.900 fair?

00:24:32.760 Was that

00:24:33.420 in the

00:24:33.620 Constitution?

00:24:35.080 Life needs

00:24:35.840 to be fair.

00:24:36.920 If somebody

00:24:37.580 makes a

00:24:38.040 terrible life

00:24:38.780 choice and

00:24:39.440 it doesn't

00:24:39.840 work out,

00:24:41.140 what, do I

00:24:41.660 owe them

00:24:41.940 some reparations?

00:24:44.120 Because I

00:24:44.920 saw the

00:24:45.320 suggestion that

00:24:46.040 maybe they

00:24:46.420 should be

00:24:46.740 compensated if

00:24:47.620 they don't

00:24:47.940 get to

00:24:48.320 compete.

00:24:48.660 know, if

00:24:51.020 you make a

00:24:51.520 bad life

00:24:52.240 choice and

00:24:52.840 it doesn't

00:24:53.240 work out,

00:24:53.780 I don't

00:24:54.040 owe you

00:24:54.360 money, because

00:24:56.780 I didn't

00:24:57.280 make a bad

00:24:57.900 life choice.

00:24:59.240 Do you know

00:24:59.540 what would

00:24:59.740 have been a

00:25:00.080 good life

00:25:00.520 choice?

00:25:02.020 Preparing for

00:25:02.780 a variety of

00:25:03.640 situations.

00:25:05.340 If all you

00:25:06.160 did is learn

00:25:07.280 some obscure

00:25:08.260 Olympic sport

00:25:09.180 for the last

00:25:09.700 ten years so

00:25:10.800 you could get

00:25:11.220 a gold medal,

00:25:12.880 I don't care.

00:25:15.300 Why should I

00:25:16.120 care about

00:25:16.500 your gold

00:25:16.940 medal?

00:25:17.820 It's not like

00:25:18.440 you were doing

00:25:18.820 something to

00:25:19.260 help the

00:25:19.620 world.

00:25:20.760 It's not even

00:25:21.280 helping the

00:25:21.780 country.

00:25:22.380 I don't want

00:25:22.860 them to compete

00:25:23.440 in Beijing.

00:25:25.420 It doesn't

00:25:25.740 help me.

00:25:27.240 So if you

00:25:27.900 did something

00:25:28.400 that was

00:25:29.100 strictly for

00:25:30.120 your own

00:25:30.580 interests,

00:25:32.540 and it was

00:25:33.100 a bad idea

00:25:34.020 from the

00:25:35.380 start, and

00:25:36.840 it didn't

00:25:37.240 work out just

00:25:38.320 the way you

00:25:38.800 would imagine

00:25:39.360 most of them

00:25:40.440 wouldn't,

00:25:41.160 because most

00:25:41.640 people are not

00:25:42.160 even going to

00:25:42.500 make it to

00:25:42.880 the Olympics,

00:25:43.480 much less win

00:25:44.140 a medal,

00:25:44.600 I don't owe

00:25:46.500 you any money

00:25:47.080 for making

00:25:47.620 bad decisions.

00:25:48.820 Sorry.

00:25:51.560 All right.

00:25:54.420 Rasmussen did

00:25:55.260 a poll and

00:25:55.860 asked this

00:25:56.840 question.

00:25:58.140 Do credit

00:25:58.840 cards tempt

00:25:59.740 people to buy

00:26:00.760 things they

00:26:01.340 cannot afford?

00:26:03.600 How do you

00:26:04.340 think that came

00:26:04.900 out?

00:26:05.900 Do credit

00:26:06.500 cards tempt

00:26:07.580 people to buy

00:26:08.540 things they

00:26:09.180 cannot afford?

00:26:10.420 74% said

00:26:11.800 yes.

00:26:12.180 and roughly

00:26:14.980 25%,

00:26:17.820 actually it

00:26:18.500 was 26%,

00:26:19.640 but roughly

00:26:20.340 a quarter of

00:26:21.040 the people

00:26:21.380 said no,

00:26:23.320 or they're

00:26:23.740 not sure.

00:26:28.380 25%,

00:26:29.060 25%,

00:26:31.460 hmm,

00:26:33.340 that's right,

00:26:35.400 25%,

00:26:36.840 actually 26%,

00:26:38.180 don't

00:26:39.200 understand what

00:26:39.980 a credit

00:26:40.380 card is

00:26:40.980 even intended

00:26:41.740 to do.

00:26:43.660 The point

00:26:44.400 of a credit

00:26:44.880 card,

00:26:45.680 I mean it

00:26:45.940 has several

00:26:46.440 advantages,

00:26:47.160 owning a

00:26:47.540 credit card,

00:26:48.380 but one of

00:26:48.980 the big

00:26:49.260 ones is

00:26:50.620 buying stuff

00:26:51.200 you can't

00:26:51.560 afford,

00:26:53.340 meaning you

00:26:53.880 can't afford

00:26:54.460 it at the

00:26:54.880 minute,

00:26:55.280 but hopefully

00:26:55.860 you can afford

00:26:56.460 it over time.

00:26:57.800 Yeah,

00:26:58.260 25%,

00:26:58.920 a quarter of

00:26:59.700 the public

00:27:00.040 doesn't think

00:27:00.640 that people

00:27:01.040 are tempted

00:27:01.460 to buy

00:27:01.860 things because

00:27:02.360 they have a

00:27:02.700 credit card,

00:27:03.920 buy things

00:27:04.600 they can't

00:27:05.000 afford.

00:27:05.240 Yeah,

00:27:07.520 yeah.

00:27:09.400 And likewise,

00:27:10.540 33% say

00:27:12.800 they need to

00:27:13.320 cut back on

00:27:13.920 how much

00:27:14.240 they use

00:27:14.640 credit cards.

00:27:16.720 So,

00:27:17.480 I guess

00:27:19.280 people do

00:27:19.880 spend more

00:27:20.920 than they

00:27:21.240 can afford.

00:27:23.520 All right,

00:27:24.200 let's talk

00:27:24.600 about vaccine

00:27:25.520 justice.

00:27:27.180 Dr. Maria

00:27:28.160 Van

00:27:29.460 Kirchhoff

00:27:30.160 of the

00:27:31.200 World Health

00:27:31.740 Organization

00:27:32.300 is concerned

00:27:34.400 because the

00:27:35.160 rich countries

00:27:35.860 are hogging

00:27:36.500 all the

00:27:36.820 vaccinations.

00:27:38.900 And she

00:27:39.520 thinks that

00:27:39.960 before we

00:27:40.440 get boosters

00:27:41.020 to the

00:27:41.600 rich countries,

00:27:43.360 we should

00:27:44.640 give at least

00:27:45.100 the first

00:27:45.700 and second

00:27:46.440 shot to

00:27:47.720 the poor

00:27:48.060 countries,

00:27:49.060 the developing

00:27:49.680 countries.

00:27:51.320 What do you

00:27:51.920 think of that?

00:27:52.360 Is that fair?

00:27:53.680 Is it fair

00:27:54.600 that we rich

00:27:55.480 countries would

00:27:56.200 hog all the

00:27:56.860 good vaccinations

00:27:57.640 and keep them

00:27:58.960 from the poor

00:27:59.480 countries?

00:27:59.960 Is it fair?

00:28:00.560 Well, what

00:28:04.000 do I say

00:28:04.440 about fairness?

00:28:05.320 Anybody?

00:28:06.340 Can somebody

00:28:06.940 quote me

00:28:07.640 on the topic

00:28:08.480 of fairness?

00:28:10.240 Anybody?

00:28:11.240 Put it in the

00:28:12.100 comments.

00:28:12.640 You know what

00:28:13.060 I often say?

00:28:15.180 Life isn't

00:28:16.040 fair.

00:28:16.360 That's one thing

00:28:16.840 I often say.

00:28:18.080 Quoting my

00:28:18.740 mother.

00:28:20.860 Here's what

00:28:21.520 I say.

00:28:22.060 Yes.

00:28:23.220 Fairness is a

00:28:24.160 concept that

00:28:24.780 was invented

00:28:25.400 so that

00:28:26.700 children and

00:28:27.400 idiots would

00:28:28.020 have something

00:28:28.480 to talk

00:28:29.000 about.

00:28:29.300 There's no

00:28:31.060 fairness in

00:28:31.800 the universe.

00:28:34.080 Fairness isn't

00:28:34.880 a thing.

00:28:36.220 Fairness is

00:28:36.720 just something

00:28:37.220 that people

00:28:37.800 say to argue

00:28:38.540 because there's

00:28:40.000 no objective

00:28:40.620 standards for

00:28:41.360 what's fair.

00:28:42.660 Take this

00:28:43.160 very question.

00:28:44.800 You can make

00:28:45.320 an argument

00:28:45.740 that it's

00:28:46.260 fair to

00:28:46.840 spread the

00:28:47.320 vaccinations

00:28:47.840 around and

00:28:48.660 you might

00:28:49.460 even make

00:28:49.860 the argument

00:28:50.260 it's good

00:28:50.800 for the

00:28:51.220 first world

00:28:51.860 countries because

00:28:53.580 if you

00:28:54.200 vaccinate the 0.98

00:28:54.800 world maybe

00:28:55.420 there's less

00:28:56.040 pandemic risk

00:28:56.980 for everybody.

00:28:57.580 But here's

00:29:01.260 another way you

00:29:01.800 could look at

00:29:02.300 it.

00:29:03.240 Shouldn't

00:29:03.540 America be

00:29:04.220 vaccinating its

00:29:05.320 obese people

00:29:06.240 100% before we

00:29:07.820 give it to

00:29:08.160 anybody?

00:29:09.080 Should we

00:29:09.760 give a

00:29:10.160 vaccination to

00:29:11.080 an 18-year-old

00:29:13.080 African boy

00:29:14.700 who weighs

00:29:16.080 110 pounds

00:29:17.480 and gets

00:29:20.280 plenty of

00:29:21.180 sun and has

00:29:22.220 ventilation like

00:29:23.420 crazy?

00:29:23.820 should that

00:29:24.760 person get a

00:29:25.320 vaccination over

00:29:26.440 our 60-year-old

00:29:28.640 obese people?

00:29:30.700 Some of you

00:29:31.580 would say yes

00:29:32.280 because the

00:29:33.800 obese person

00:29:34.920 brought it on

00:29:35.440 themselves or

00:29:36.240 whatever.

00:29:37.480 But the point

00:29:38.140 is you can't

00:29:38.900 agree on what's

00:29:39.560 fair.

00:29:41.000 There's no

00:29:41.720 standard for

00:29:42.500 fairness.

00:29:43.980 That's not a

00:29:44.620 thing.

00:29:45.720 Shouldn't we

00:29:46.120 save all of

00:29:46.760 our senior

00:29:47.320 citizens before

00:29:48.240 we give it to

00:29:48.960 young people

00:29:50.320 and another?

00:29:51.100 I mean you

00:29:51.500 could just go

00:29:51.980 on this all

00:29:52.400 day long.

00:29:52.840 There's no

00:29:53.260 fairness

00:29:53.640 standard.

00:29:55.260 So while I

00:29:56.660 understand what

00:29:57.600 this representative

00:29:59.780 of the World

00:30:00.500 Health Organization

00:30:01.260 is saying,

00:30:02.920 it's just not a

00:30:03.920 standard you can

00:30:04.500 manage to.

00:30:08.060 Do

00:30:08.540 vaccinations

00:30:09.100 work?

00:30:11.040 I'm going to

00:30:11.620 ask that question

00:30:12.340 here.

00:30:13.440 And I won't

00:30:14.580 even define what

00:30:15.460 it means to

00:30:16.020 work.

00:30:16.920 Okay?

00:30:17.760 I'll just say

00:30:18.340 do vaccinations

00:30:19.140 work?

00:30:20.640 I just want to

00:30:21.180 see your answers

00:30:22.220 in the comments

00:30:22.960 and then I'll

00:30:23.460 tell you what

00:30:24.780 I think.

00:30:25.440 I'll read off

00:30:25.960 the answers.

00:30:27.640 I'm seeing some

00:30:28.440 don't know,

00:30:29.360 yeses,

00:30:30.660 mostly yeses,

00:30:31.620 some maybes,

00:30:33.600 maybes,

00:30:35.240 locals is always

00:30:36.080 a little faster.

00:30:36.660 I'm seeing nos and

00:30:37.400 yeses,

00:30:38.120 kind of,

00:30:38.760 yeses,

00:30:39.320 nos.

00:30:40.180 Well we all

00:30:40.840 agree and so

00:30:41.780 there's no argument

00:30:42.480 that they're not

00:30:43.100 vaccinations in the

00:30:44.440 classic sense of

00:30:45.980 just stopping it.

00:30:47.820 So we all know

00:30:48.480 that.

00:30:49.200 But given that we

00:30:50.740 all know that,

00:30:51.340 do they work?

00:30:53.280 All right.

00:30:55.120 Here's some

00:30:55.720 information on

00:30:56.460 that.

00:30:57.200 Did you know

00:30:57.820 that the most

00:30:58.940 vaccinated big

00:31:00.200 counties in

00:31:00.760 America are

00:31:03.060 having the best

00:31:03.860 outcomes?

00:31:04.400 So the most

00:31:05.960 vaccinated counties

00:31:07.560 are having the

00:31:08.840 best outcomes

00:31:09.660 with coronavirus.

00:31:10.660 So that means

00:31:11.100 vaccinations work,

00:31:12.220 right?

00:31:13.560 Anybody doubt

00:31:14.160 that?

00:31:15.100 So we have

00:31:15.780 good data now,

00:31:17.720 lots of it,

00:31:18.800 that show

00:31:19.880 that the more

00:31:20.640 you're vaccinated,

00:31:21.800 the better your

00:31:23.080 outcomes.

00:31:24.000 And it's very

00:31:24.420 clear.

00:31:25.540 So therefore

00:31:26.020 vaccinations work,

00:31:27.100 right?

00:31:28.860 Right?

00:31:31.300 Isn't that

00:31:31.960 science?

00:31:33.200 If the data

00:31:33.880 says that the

00:31:34.560 more vaccinated

00:31:35.240 you are,

00:31:35.740 the better your

00:31:36.240 outcomes,

00:31:37.240 and that

00:31:37.660 correlation is

00:31:38.280 really clear now,

00:31:40.400 vaccinations work,

00:31:41.540 right?

00:31:43.800 But what could

00:31:44.960 possibly be wrong

00:31:45.900 with that?

00:31:46.300 All right,

00:31:49.080 let me tell you

00:31:49.600 what could be

00:31:49.960 wrong with it.

00:31:50.880 I don't know.

00:31:52.480 But what would

00:31:53.140 vaccinations also

00:31:54.700 correlate with?

00:31:58.660 Income.

00:32:00.100 Am I right?

00:32:01.260 Income.

00:32:02.540 The higher your

00:32:03.200 income, the more

00:32:04.040 likely you're

00:32:05.160 highly vaccinated.

00:32:06.480 Would you agree?

00:32:07.080 How about

00:32:09.040 whiteness?

00:32:12.020 How about

00:32:12.380 whiteness?

00:32:13.660 Don't you think

00:32:14.260 there are more

00:32:15.320 white people

00:32:16.860 in, let's say,

00:32:17.440 a blue place?

00:32:19.520 Don't you think

00:32:20.000 more white people

00:32:20.780 are vaccinated?

00:32:21.700 Because that's

00:32:22.260 what the data

00:32:22.740 says.

00:32:23.880 The black 0.94

00:32:24.380 population is

00:32:25.480 less vaccinated.

00:32:26.960 Also, the

00:32:27.700 Republican population

00:32:28.680 is less vaccinated.

00:32:30.480 But who is

00:32:32.000 the highest,

00:32:33.560 who has the

00:32:34.220 most vaccinations?

00:32:35.800 The blue

00:32:36.560 counties,

00:32:37.260 right?

00:32:38.080 So you find a

00:32:38.940 blue county with

00:32:39.780 high vaccinations,

00:32:40.680 you're probably

00:32:41.040 finding a bunch of

00:32:41.860 rich, thin,

00:32:42.580 white people.

00:32:44.460 What would you

00:32:45.260 expect would be

00:32:46.720 the relative

00:32:47.260 outcome of

00:32:48.160 thin, rich,

00:32:49.160 white people

00:32:49.780 with good health

00:32:50.960 care and

00:32:51.700 well informed

00:32:54.260 about everything?

00:32:55.280 How would they

00:32:55.900 do on the

00:32:57.000 pandemic compared

00:32:58.200 to somebody who

00:32:59.080 is not rich

00:33:00.400 and white and

00:33:00.880 thin?

00:33:01.120 Not as well,

00:33:04.100 right?

00:33:04.860 So I worry

00:33:06.020 that the

00:33:06.700 correlation of

00:33:07.860 vaccinations

00:33:08.620 means good

00:33:10.080 outcome is a

00:33:11.240 could be at

00:33:12.980 least a

00:33:14.000 partial false

00:33:15.080 correlation.

00:33:16.620 Let me give

00:33:17.060 you another

00:33:17.400 one.

00:33:18.660 Do you think

00:33:19.300 that vaccination

00:33:19.920 rates in this

00:33:20.960 country correlate

00:33:22.240 to vitamin D

00:33:23.320 levels?

00:33:25.480 I'll bet

00:33:26.340 they do.

00:33:27.720 I'll bet

00:33:28.580 they do.

00:33:29.700 I'll bet

00:33:30.140 you somebody

00:33:30.620 who takes

00:33:31.640 the time to

00:33:32.160 get vaccinated

00:33:32.880 is also

00:33:34.080 supplementing

00:33:34.920 with vitamin

00:33:35.780 D.

00:33:37.140 I'll bet

00:33:37.580 you.

00:33:37.700 how many

00:33:39.160 of the

00:33:39.720 black

00:33:40.480 citizens of

00:33:41.420 the United

00:33:41.780 States who

00:33:42.800 don't want

00:33:43.360 vaccinations

00:33:43.980 are also in

00:33:45.660 a high enough

00:33:46.300 income group

00:33:47.060 where buying

00:33:48.320 supplements makes

00:33:49.320 sense?

00:33:50.580 Like that's a

00:33:51.200 priority,

00:33:51.700 buying vitamin

00:33:53.240 D supplements.

00:33:54.380 Well, there's a

00:33:54.800 big income

00:33:55.240 difference, right?

00:33:55.880 So there should

00:33:56.300 be a big

00:33:56.640 difference.

00:33:57.820 You can't buy

00:33:58.840 optional stuff

00:34:00.240 if you don't

00:34:00.600 have money.

00:34:02.620 So I would

00:34:03.460 bet that

00:34:04.680 although there's

00:34:05.340 a high correlation

00:34:06.120 between vaccination

00:34:07.020 rates and

00:34:08.700 good outcomes

00:34:09.460 that the

00:34:10.680 vaccination rates

00:34:11.580 also follow

00:34:12.640 vitamin D

00:34:14.260 levels.

00:34:15.860 What do you

00:34:16.580 think?

00:34:17.360 Do you think

00:34:17.820 those thin,

00:34:19.040 rich,

00:34:20.300 white people

00:34:21.280 who are

00:34:21.800 supplementing

00:34:22.560 with vitamin

00:34:23.080 D levels,

00:34:24.080 do you think

00:34:24.500 that they have

00:34:25.060 more vitamin

00:34:25.620 D?

00:34:26.160 Well, they

00:34:26.560 have more

00:34:26.880 vitamin D

00:34:27.360 than black 0.96

00:34:28.360 citizens

00:34:28.840 because apparently

00:34:31.300 black people

00:34:32.600 have trouble

00:34:33.020 getting vitamin

00:34:33.660 D in the same

00:34:34.540 setting as

00:34:35.540 somebody else.

00:34:37.120 So although

00:34:38.840 the data

00:34:40.100 would seem

00:34:40.700 to overwhelmingly

00:34:41.720 suggest that

00:34:42.700 the vaccines

00:34:43.340 work, and

00:34:44.680 here work

00:34:45.180 means not

00:34:45.720 eliminating the

00:34:46.620 virus but

00:34:47.260 rather keeping

00:34:48.360 the death rate

00:34:49.000 really, really

00:34:49.520 low, I have

00:34:51.380 questions.

00:34:53.440 I don't think

00:34:54.700 they've teased

00:34:55.300 out the vitamin

00:34:56.280 D correlation

00:34:57.020 and that would

00:34:58.260 be my biggest

00:34:58.820 problem with it

00:34:59.700 because we know

00:35:01.520 that vitamin D

00:35:02.160 is highly

00:35:02.660 correlated with

00:35:03.700 outcomes.

00:35:04.100 I think

00:35:05.740 vaccinations

00:35:06.320 are highly

00:35:06.840 correlated with

00:35:07.520 vitamin D

00:35:08.060 levels.

00:35:10.180 Could it

00:35:10.520 be, could

00:35:13.640 it be that

00:35:14.840 the vaccines

00:35:15.460 never worked

00:35:16.160 at all and

00:35:18.500 that wherever

00:35:18.900 you have the

00:35:19.400 highest rate of

00:35:20.020 vaccinations, you

00:35:20.800 also have the

00:35:21.480 highest rate of

00:35:22.000 vitamin D?

00:35:22.700 It's just a

00:35:23.400 correlation.

00:35:23.760 I doubt it

00:35:29.060 because it

00:35:30.260 feels like

00:35:30.740 there are

00:35:31.120 enough ways

00:35:31.700 to test a

00:35:32.700 vaccination that

00:35:33.480 you wouldn't be

00:35:34.040 fooled by that

00:35:34.800 correlation, but

00:35:36.220 certainly when you

00:35:36.880 look at the

00:35:37.220 big picture, it's

00:35:38.320 hard to tease

00:35:38.860 out the vitamin

00:35:39.460 D part.

00:35:40.920 So here's my,

00:35:43.020 so those are my

00:35:43.840 questions.

00:35:44.520 I'll tell you my

00:35:45.240 opinion.

00:35:46.440 My opinion is

00:35:47.340 that vaccinations

00:35:48.000 work in the

00:35:50.840 short-term sense

00:35:52.140 that they reduce

00:35:53.000 problems.

00:35:54.540 If you're asking

00:35:55.420 me, do I know

00:35:56.080 what happens in

00:35:56.720 the long-term,

00:35:58.240 I'd say nobody

00:35:59.420 does.

00:36:00.600 So good luck

00:36:01.880 making your

00:36:02.380 decisions because

00:36:03.980 you don't have

00:36:04.380 the data you

00:36:04.860 need.

00:36:06.920 All right.

00:36:10.480 All right.

00:36:11.180 So speaking of

00:36:12.600 that also, I

00:36:14.280 would refer you

00:36:15.680 to an article

00:36:17.060 on Substack

00:36:18.600 that I tweeted

00:36:19.300 so you can find

00:36:20.040 a link to it

00:36:20.620 in my Twitter

00:36:22.040 feed this

00:36:22.460 morning, article

00:36:24.140 by Maxim

00:36:25.000 Lott, who

00:36:26.220 you should

00:36:26.660 follow on

00:36:27.360 Twitter.

00:36:28.320 His last name

00:36:29.100 is spelled

00:36:29.540 L-O-T-T, 1.00

00:36:31.260 first name

00:36:31.880 Maxim, and

00:36:33.600 you should

00:36:33.900 follow him

00:36:34.380 because he's

00:36:35.140 one of the

00:36:35.840 better skeptics

00:36:38.040 of just looking

00:36:39.640 at the same

00:36:40.180 thing you're

00:36:40.600 looking at and

00:36:41.180 then telling

00:36:41.500 you why it's

00:36:42.920 not really why

00:36:43.480 you're looking

00:36:43.840 at it.

00:36:44.760 All right.

00:36:44.940 That stuff's

00:36:45.340 good stuff.

00:36:46.480 So along

00:36:46.920 with, you

00:36:47.380 know, Andres

00:36:48.980 Beckhaus and

00:36:50.100 Anatoly, you

00:36:51.880 should follow

00:36:52.720 Maxim Lott if

00:36:54.900 you want to

00:36:55.260 understand the

00:36:55.780 world better.

00:36:56.740 Now, that

00:36:57.400 doesn't mean

00:36:57.780 everything he

00:36:58.280 says is right,

00:36:59.000 right?

00:37:00.700 So I'm going to

00:37:01.920 tell you something

00:37:02.520 that, you know,

00:37:03.280 there may be a

00:37:04.700 problem with his

00:37:05.480 analysis, but it's

00:37:06.480 a great romp

00:37:07.980 through the myths

00:37:09.640 of the vaccinations

00:37:10.840 and the pandemic.

00:37:12.940 Maxim is

00:37:13.500 spelled M-A-X-I-M,

00:37:15.520 and then his

00:37:17.100 last name is

00:37:17.660 L-O-T-T. 1.00

00:37:18.640 Give him a

00:37:19.000 follow.

00:37:20.200 Tell him I

00:37:20.680 sent you.

00:37:22.200 Anyway, you

00:37:24.260 should read the

00:37:24.760 whole article.

00:37:25.460 It's one of the

00:37:26.020 best, maybe the

00:37:28.340 best.

00:37:28.940 It might actually

00:37:29.560 be the best thing

00:37:30.460 I've seen written

00:37:30.980 about the pandemic,

00:37:32.280 looking at the

00:37:32.980 myths and then

00:37:34.780 the realities.

00:37:36.260 But I will

00:37:38.600 bring you to

00:37:39.720 one fact in

00:37:41.520 particular.

00:37:42.720 Two facts,

00:37:43.320 actually.

00:37:44.060 Number one,

00:37:44.840 Maxim claims

00:37:45.500 that the

00:37:46.100 current data

00:37:47.680 says that there

00:37:48.400 were not

00:37:48.980 more suicides

00:37:50.720 in 2020.

00:37:52.800 What do you

00:37:53.500 think?

00:37:53.940 Didn't all of

00:37:54.500 you believe

00:37:54.940 there were

00:37:55.220 more suicides

00:37:56.060 in 2020?

00:37:58.360 I believe

00:37:59.140 that.

00:38:00.040 But according

00:38:00.520 to Maxim,

00:38:01.680 the most

00:38:02.340 current data

00:38:02.880 says no.

00:38:04.880 I'm not sure

00:38:05.680 that's true.

00:38:06.880 So I'm going

00:38:07.240 to put an

00:38:07.880 asterisk next

00:38:08.540 to that.

00:38:09.180 I'll just say

00:38:09.720 that I think

00:38:11.520 Maxim is

00:38:12.660 credible,

00:38:14.020 so he's

00:38:14.300 probably looking

00:38:14.900 at some

00:38:15.220 good data,

00:38:15.860 but that

00:38:16.060 doesn't mean

00:38:16.400 it's real.

00:38:17.620 It might

00:38:17.920 come from

00:38:18.280 a good

00:38:18.560 source,

00:38:19.220 but don't

00:38:20.320 trust any

00:38:20.760 data these

00:38:21.220 days.

00:38:22.160 Here's the

00:38:22.760 other thing

00:38:23.320 he said,

00:38:23.760 that Australia

00:38:24.320 and New

00:38:24.680 Zealand are 0.98

00:38:26.220 interesting to

00:38:27.060 compare to the

00:38:27.640 United States

00:38:28.300 because Australia,

00:38:32.300 New Zealand,

00:38:32.900 and the United

00:38:33.340 States have

00:38:33.960 similarly high

00:38:34.920 vaccination rates,

00:38:36.060 deaths, but

00:38:37.280 Australia and

00:38:38.960 New Zealand

00:38:39.340 have practically

00:38:40.300 no deaths

00:38:44.460 because they

00:38:46.640 have such a

00:38:47.380 good, I'll

00:38:48.300 say good,

00:38:48.900 but effective

00:38:49.440 job of

00:38:50.120 tamping down

00:38:51.100 with the

00:38:52.080 lockdowns,

00:38:52.740 et cetera,

00:38:53.780 that it's a

00:38:54.540 good comparison.

00:38:55.340 And why is

00:38:55.740 that important?

00:38:56.580 That Australia

00:38:57.220 and New Zealand

00:38:57.780 have the same

00:38:58.340 vaccination rate

00:38:59.200 as the U.S.,

00:39:00.380 but no,

00:39:01.500 actually,

00:39:02.460 very little

00:39:03.320 or no

00:39:03.920 problems with

00:39:05.480 deaths is

00:39:06.320 because you

00:39:07.980 can compare

00:39:08.700 them and

00:39:10.140 find out if

00:39:11.040 the lockdowns

00:39:12.000 themselves are

00:39:12.840 killing people

00:39:13.600 because in

00:39:15.720 New Zealand and

00:39:16.340 Australia,

00:39:16.700 you've got the

00:39:17.360 lockdowns,

00:39:18.180 but without

00:39:20.000 the actual

00:39:21.100 COVID messing

00:39:22.180 up your

00:39:22.560 statistics.

00:39:23.700 So you can

00:39:24.300 look at them

00:39:24.760 and say,

00:39:25.360 did your

00:39:25.760 normal baseline

00:39:26.760 number of

00:39:27.340 deaths go up

00:39:28.320 with the

00:39:29.080 lockdowns or

00:39:30.600 down?

00:39:31.620 What do you

00:39:32.080 think?

00:39:33.320 In the two

00:39:33.880 countries,

00:39:34.440 Australia and

00:39:35.040 New Zealand,

00:39:36.100 where they

00:39:36.480 had pretty

00:39:37.040 rigorous stuff

00:39:39.780 but no

00:39:40.740 infections,

00:39:41.700 did more

00:39:42.220 people die

00:39:42.840 from the

00:39:43.240 lockdown

00:39:43.540 itself or

00:39:46.220 fewer?

00:39:48.440 Well,

00:39:49.000 according to

00:39:49.400 Maxim's

00:39:49.860 numbers,

00:39:51.160 fewer people

00:39:54.180 died because

00:39:54.780 of the

00:39:55.020 lockdowns,

00:39:55.580 which is

00:39:55.880 what I

00:39:56.200 predicted when

00:39:57.020 we did our

00:39:57.500 first two

00:39:58.040 weeks.

00:39:59.320 The two-week

00:39:59.980 lockdown,

00:40:00.680 I was in

00:40:01.140 favor of

00:40:01.540 that,

00:40:01.960 just to

00:40:03.300 A-B

00:40:03.780 test and

00:40:04.300 see if

00:40:04.540 anything

00:40:04.840 was working.

00:40:06.220 Then it

00:40:06.680 sort of

00:40:07.140 didn't

00:40:07.320 work.

00:40:09.920 But,

00:40:10.480 so here's

00:40:11.020 the provocative

00:40:11.600 claim.

00:40:12.660 The United

00:40:13.100 States has

00:40:13.780 a huge

00:40:15.040 increase in

00:40:16.520 deaths,

00:40:19.460 but Australia

00:40:20.620 and New

00:40:20.920 Zealand is

00:40:21.360 actually below

00:40:22.100 their baseline.

00:40:22.760 Not only is

00:40:24.920 there no

00:40:25.280 increase in

00:40:26.340 those two

00:40:26.760 countries,

00:40:27.300 it's below

00:40:28.040 the baseline.

00:40:28.660 So that

00:40:30.000 would strongly

00:40:30.680 suggest,

00:40:31.860 strongly,

00:40:32.920 that it's

00:40:34.060 actually the

00:40:34.600 COVID that's

00:40:35.260 killing people

00:40:35.800 in the

00:40:36.060 United States

00:40:36.660 and not

00:40:37.200 the lockdowns.

00:40:41.260 What do

00:40:41.920 you think?

00:40:42.680 Do you buy

00:40:43.060 that?

00:40:44.140 Now,

00:40:44.520 it's like

00:40:44.880 all data.

00:40:46.540 You've got

00:40:46.920 to put an

00:40:47.300 asterisk next

00:40:48.080 to everything.

00:40:50.640 Yeah,

00:40:51.280 I don't

00:40:51.500 think we

00:40:52.520 could quite

00:40:53.520 conclude this

00:40:55.560 with certainty,

00:40:56.760 but it's

00:40:57.060 very provocative.

00:40:57.720 It's definitely

00:40:59.180 something to

00:40:59.580 look at.

00:41:00.960 All right,

00:41:01.300 here's my

00:41:03.740 problem.

00:41:05.680 I think

00:41:06.340 there might

00:41:06.700 be other

00:41:07.280 variables in

00:41:08.240 here that

00:41:08.680 we haven't

00:41:09.540 teased now.

00:41:11.360 So,

00:41:11.760 Maxim only

00:41:12.480 goes so far

00:41:13.260 as to say

00:41:13.680 that it

00:41:14.060 suggests the

00:41:15.740 vaccines are

00:41:16.880 what's helping

00:41:17.660 people and

00:41:18.280 not a source

00:41:19.280 of death.

00:41:20.480 But suggesting

00:41:21.500 is not quite

00:41:22.440 certainty.

00:41:24.400 All right,

00:41:25.660 so read

00:41:26.180 the whole

00:41:27.420 bunch of

00:41:28.140 myths that

00:41:29.040 he debunks

00:41:29.640 and judge

00:41:31.600 for yourself.

00:41:32.480 See if you

00:41:33.180 think it

00:41:33.480 sounds credible.

00:41:35.500 In related

00:41:36.520 news,

00:41:37.180 there are

00:41:37.500 two doctors

00:41:38.140 in the UK

00:41:38.720 who say

00:41:39.240 that heart

00:41:39.620 disease is

00:41:40.260 spiking

00:41:40.780 because of

00:41:41.980 the lockdowns,

00:41:42.880 not because

00:41:45.020 of the

00:41:45.620 coronavirus,

00:41:47.560 although one

00:41:48.900 might ask,

00:41:49.920 how can you

00:41:50.500 tell the

00:41:50.940 exact source

00:41:51.840 of a coronary

00:41:53.200 problem?

00:41:54.460 Can you

00:41:54.880 tell it's

00:41:55.340 because somebody

00:41:55.960 had COVID

00:41:56.460 and recovered

00:41:57.140 but they

00:41:57.540 had some

00:41:57.800 long-term

00:41:58.240 problems?

00:41:59.220 Or can you

00:42:00.000 tell that it's

00:42:00.520 really from the

00:42:01.100 lockdown and

00:42:01.920 the social

00:42:02.440 isolation itself?

00:42:04.560 I don't think

00:42:05.100 you can tell,

00:42:05.680 can you?

00:42:06.520 I don't think

00:42:07.340 you can tell.

00:42:08.180 There's only two

00:42:08.760 doctors and it's

00:42:09.680 in the UK and

00:42:11.560 they say that up

00:42:12.580 to 300,000 people

00:42:13.920 in the UK are

00:42:14.500 facing heart-related

00:42:15.520 illness due to,

00:42:17.340 and this is

00:42:17.820 their opinion,

00:42:19.160 post-pandemic

00:42:20.080 stress disorder.

00:42:22.880 And research

00:42:23.980 suggests that

00:42:25.580 patients with

00:42:26.180 symptoms of

00:42:26.760 depression are

00:42:27.380 64% greater

00:42:28.660 risk of

00:42:29.100 developing

00:42:29.900 coronary

00:42:31.020 artery disease

00:42:32.120 and blah,

00:42:33.220 blah,

00:42:33.340 blah.

00:42:33.760 So there

00:42:34.660 seems to be

00:42:35.200 existing science

00:42:36.540 to suggest that

00:42:37.540 depression makes

00:42:38.580 you more likely

00:42:39.160 to have a

00:42:39.860 heart attack

00:42:41.060 or a coronary

00:42:41.760 event.

00:42:45.500 Depression

00:42:46.100 drops the

00:42:46.640 vitamin D

00:42:47.060 level,

00:42:47.460 somebody says.

00:42:48.140 Interesting.

00:42:51.260 And so,

00:42:52.320 what do you

00:42:53.300 think?

00:42:54.340 Do you think

00:42:54.960 that in the UK

00:42:55.620 there are 300,000

00:42:57.080 people extra who

00:42:58.200 are going to die

00:42:58.840 because of the

00:42:59.440 lockdowns?

00:43:00.980 Because the

00:43:02.140 New Zealand and

00:43:02.940 Australia suggests

00:43:05.220 that that's not a

00:43:06.040 thing.

00:43:07.060 So these are

00:43:07.680 conflicting bits

00:43:08.700 of data.

00:43:10.100 The UK would

00:43:11.420 seem to suggest

00:43:12.240 that hundreds of

00:43:13.120 thousands of

00:43:13.680 people extra

00:43:14.520 will die because

00:43:16.140 of the pandemic

00:43:16.780 itself as

00:43:17.880 opposed to the

00:43:18.440 virus or the

00:43:19.500 pandemic, you

00:43:20.800 know, the

00:43:21.020 lockdown.

00:43:22.940 Don't you

00:43:23.500 think that you

00:43:24.080 would have seen

00:43:24.500 that many people

00:43:25.340 extra dying in

00:43:27.320 the Australia and

00:43:28.760 New Zealand

00:43:30.000 examples?

00:43:31.140 I think you

00:43:31.640 would have.

00:43:33.460 So, yeah,

00:43:35.500 somebody in the

00:43:36.060 comments is saying

00:43:36.680 it looks like a

00:43:37.540 myocarditis,

00:43:39.120 am I saying it

00:43:39.920 right, myocarditis

00:43:41.620 cover-up?

00:43:42.200 It does look like

00:43:43.780 that.

00:43:44.420 It looks exactly

00:43:45.400 like that,

00:43:45.920 doesn't it?

00:43:46.820 How in the

00:43:47.540 world, permission

00:43:49.440 to swear, permission

00:43:51.560 to curse?

00:43:52.560 I need permission.

00:43:54.120 I'll keep it

00:43:54.840 limited, but

00:43:56.460 permission to

00:43:57.060 curse.

00:43:58.620 Okay, I have

00:43:59.200 permission.

00:44:00.280 Send the children

00:44:00.880 away.

00:44:01.240 Well, I don't

00:44:10.080 know if I want

00:44:10.580 to curse about

00:44:11.140 this.

00:44:12.080 Yeah, I'm

00:44:12.500 going to curse

00:44:12.920 about this.

00:44:14.760 How the fuck

00:44:15.620 do you write an

00:44:16.960 article about

00:44:18.080 heart-related

00:44:19.340 illnesses in the

00:44:20.200 pandemic and not

00:44:21.140 even mention the

00:44:22.660 possibility that the

00:44:23.940 vaccinations are

00:44:24.940 one of the

00:44:25.360 causes or the

00:44:26.240 cause?

00:44:26.600 How the fuck

00:44:27.940 do you leave

00:44:29.040 that out of

00:44:29.540 the article?

00:44:30.940 Now, I'm not

00:44:31.580 the one who

00:44:31.980 says that

00:44:32.360 vaccinations are

00:44:33.180 causing any

00:44:33.780 problems.

00:44:35.180 I don't know.

00:44:36.360 Maybe, maybe

00:44:37.320 yes, maybe no.

00:44:38.640 I have no way to

00:44:39.360 know independently.

00:44:40.580 But how the fuck

00:44:41.680 do you leave it

00:44:43.000 out of the

00:44:43.340 conversation?

00:44:44.660 I mean, seriously.

00:44:46.280 You're turning

00:44:47.080 somebody who is a

00:44:47.920 skeptic into a

00:44:48.800 believer by doing

00:44:50.240 that.

00:44:51.120 Because this looks

00:44:51.900 like an obvious

00:44:52.520 cover-up to me.

00:44:54.380 or just bad

00:44:57.200 judgment, one or

00:44:58.720 the other.

00:44:59.520 That doesn't give

00:45:00.200 me any confidence

00:45:00.840 in medicine either.

00:45:02.360 If these doctors

00:45:03.140 simply have terrible

00:45:04.640 judgment, well, that

00:45:06.900 doesn't make me feel

00:45:07.680 like I need to go

00:45:08.440 get their advice

00:45:10.260 again.

00:45:11.440 All right, here's a

00:45:12.560 question I asked.

00:45:14.060 Shouldn't we figure

00:45:14.680 out if the Omicron

00:45:15.880 virus is so mild,

00:45:17.860 because that's the

00:45:18.660 early indications

00:45:19.560 we're getting, not

00:45:20.420 confirmed, so mild

00:45:22.320 that maybe we

00:45:24.400 should not

00:45:24.900 vaccinate against

00:45:25.860 it.

00:45:26.540 Because if we did,

00:45:27.880 we would be

00:45:28.400 vaccinating against

00:45:29.720 a vaccination.

00:45:32.400 Because if the

00:45:33.340 Omicron is this

00:45:34.200 mild and this

00:45:35.300 spready, it should 0.98

00:45:37.020 act as a

00:45:37.900 vaccination.

00:45:38.820 It will still

00:45:39.340 kill people, 0.98

00:45:40.860 probably.

00:45:42.340 But it might

00:45:43.360 save more people

00:45:44.140 than it kills.

00:45:45.180 So what are we

00:45:45.800 going to do?

00:45:47.140 Follow the

00:45:47.880 money.

00:45:48.120 Follow the

00:45:52.160 money.

00:45:54.160 Let me say

00:45:54.900 fuck you to the 0.70

00:45:55.760 person who asked

00:45:56.360 that question on

00:45:57.040 YouTube, because

00:45:57.720 you're pissing me

00:45:58.360 off.

00:45:59.040 So there's

00:45:59.320 somebody here who

00:45:59.920 is challenging me

00:46:00.660 to how many shots

00:46:01.980 I'm willing to get

00:46:03.060 personally.

00:46:04.060 Fuck you.

00:46:05.440 Fuck you for

00:46:06.400 caring about my

00:46:07.160 decision for my

00:46:08.180 health.

00:46:08.860 I don't give a

00:46:09.580 fuck about your

00:46:10.260 health.

00:46:11.160 I mean your

00:46:11.600 health decisions.

00:46:12.320 I do care about

00:46:13.020 people not getting

00:46:14.140 sick.

00:46:14.940 But I'm not going

00:46:15.540 to bother you about

00:46:16.360 your fucking health

00:46:18.000 decisions.

00:46:20.880 Don't bother me

00:46:21.780 about them.

00:46:23.540 Just give me the

00:46:24.680 same courtesy I'm

00:46:25.960 giving you.

00:46:26.640 Now I'll probably

00:46:27.280 tell you, because I

00:46:28.580 do this publicly, but

00:46:30.280 don't ask about it

00:46:31.580 like you're making

00:46:32.300 some fucking

00:46:33.000 point.

00:46:34.300 Here's the fucking

00:46:35.340 point I want you

00:46:36.100 to make.

00:46:36.880 Leave me the

00:46:37.800 fuck alone.

00:46:39.220 I think I'm

00:46:39.680 channeling Jordan

00:46:41.080 Peterson right now.

00:46:42.320 I will make my

00:46:43.380 own fucking

00:46:44.620 decision.

00:46:46.400 And I don't

00:46:47.020 care what you

00:46:47.860 think, and I

00:46:48.500 don't care if

00:46:49.160 you jab

00:46:49.600 yourself a

00:46:50.140 hundred times

00:46:50.700 and die. 0.95

00:46:51.540 I don't care if

00:46:52.260 you don't jab

00:46:52.900 yourself and

00:46:53.420 die.

00:46:53.880 I don't give a

00:46:54.560 fuck about your

00:46:55.340 personal health

00:46:56.660 decision.

00:46:57.800 Don't give me

00:46:58.400 trouble about it.

00:46:59.980 You can agree and

00:47:01.080 disagree on the

00:47:01.740 data and the

00:47:02.760 arguments and stuff

00:47:03.600 like that.

00:47:03.980 That's all good.

00:47:04.640 I like that stuff.

00:47:06.100 But if you're

00:47:06.720 going to talk to

00:47:07.220 me about my

00:47:07.940 personal decision,

00:47:09.280 fuck you. 0.97

00:47:11.240 Can I be clear

00:47:11.940 about that?

00:47:12.840 Just fuck you 1.00

00:47:13.720 hard if you're

00:47:15.460 going to talk to

00:47:15.960 me about my

00:47:16.640 personal decision.

00:47:20.300 If I talk about

00:47:21.360 it, that's

00:47:21.680 different.

00:47:23.500 All right.

00:47:25.720 So that's

00:47:27.540 going on.

00:47:29.660 Here's what I

00:47:30.360 think.

00:47:30.780 And I saw

00:47:31.720 Andres back

00:47:33.220 out saying,

00:47:33.860 you know,

00:47:34.320 the best risk

00:47:35.720 management would

00:47:37.160 be to prepare the

00:47:38.020 vaccination,

00:47:39.320 which I agree

00:47:40.040 with.

00:47:40.320 We should

00:47:41.160 definitely be

00:47:41.900 preparing a

00:47:43.000 vaccination for

00:47:44.080 the Omicron

00:47:45.340 because maybe it

00:47:46.760 is worse than

00:47:47.280 we think.

00:47:48.100 Maybe our data

00:47:48.580 is bad.

00:47:49.420 Maybe it has

00:47:49.960 some long-term

00:47:50.780 whatever.

00:47:51.380 Who knows?

00:47:52.480 But apparently

00:47:53.380 it'll take at

00:47:53.980 least 100 days

00:47:54.840 before we would

00:47:55.560 have such a

00:47:56.200 vaccination available.

00:47:57.700 At that point,

00:47:58.540 we would have a

00:47:59.020 lot more information

00:47:59.780 and maybe that

00:48:00.640 would be the

00:48:01.060 go-no-go point.

00:48:02.900 Let me ask you

00:48:03.680 this.

00:48:05.560 Follow the

00:48:06.200 money.

00:48:06.460 Do you think

00:48:08.180 there's any

00:48:08.760 chance we

00:48:09.360 won't have a

00:48:09.960 vaccination that's

00:48:10.900 mandated for

00:48:11.600 the Omicron?

00:48:14.260 Here's your

00:48:14.940 test case.

00:48:16.260 Maybe.

00:48:18.020 This might be

00:48:18.980 your test case

00:48:19.780 because it

00:48:21.080 could be that

00:48:21.860 it will be

00:48:22.340 obvious to

00:48:23.040 every citizen

00:48:23.820 that we

00:48:24.260 should not

00:48:24.880 vaccinate

00:48:25.900 against the

00:48:26.480 Omicron.

00:48:27.340 It's too

00:48:27.880 early to say

00:48:28.460 that.

00:48:29.540 But it

00:48:29.880 could be.

00:48:31.280 And we

00:48:31.600 could know

00:48:32.060 in two

00:48:32.500 months that

00:48:33.940 vaccinating

00:48:34.620 against the

00:48:35.380 Omicron is

00:48:35.960 the worst

00:48:36.360 decision ever

00:48:37.060 made in

00:48:37.560 any medical

00:48:38.080 setting.

00:48:39.960 Do you

00:48:40.580 think that

00:48:40.900 that would

00:48:41.200 prevent us

00:48:41.880 from doing

00:48:42.320 it anyway?

00:48:43.840 Because there's

00:48:44.720 like a trillion

00:48:45.320 dollars at

00:48:45.960 stake for

00:48:47.260 vaccinating

00:48:47.820 against the

00:48:48.360 Omicron.

00:48:49.640 I think

00:48:50.440 we're going

00:48:50.700 to vaccinate

00:48:51.180 against it

00:48:51.840 no matter

00:48:53.060 what.

00:48:53.840 Because that's

00:48:54.260 what the

00:48:54.540 money says.

00:48:55.860 The money

00:48:56.220 says we're

00:48:56.680 going to

00:48:56.840 vaccinate

00:48:57.220 against it

00:48:57.820 no matter

00:48:58.520 what.

00:48:59.540 It's just

00:48:59.920 too much

00:49:00.260 money to

00:49:00.700 not do.

00:49:03.540 So if

00:49:05.340 we know at

00:49:05.900 the same

00:49:06.280 time we

00:49:06.740 shouldn't

00:49:07.240 vaccinate

00:49:07.800 against it

00:49:08.500 while it's

00:49:09.480 mandated we're

00:49:10.460 going to know

00:49:10.760 exactly what's

00:49:11.420 going on.

00:49:12.720 I mean that's

00:49:13.320 the point where

00:49:14.340 you go oh

00:49:14.920 okay now I

00:49:15.700 see it.

00:49:16.560 This has

00:49:16.960 nothing to do

00:49:17.560 with public

00:49:17.980 health.

00:49:19.020 We could get

00:49:19.600 there.

00:49:19.880 We're not

00:49:20.160 there.

00:49:21.280 It's very

00:49:21.940 premature to

00:49:22.680 say anything

00:49:23.080 like that.

00:49:24.180 The Omicron

00:49:24.760 could turn out

00:49:25.360 to be dangerous.

00:49:27.060 Our data is

00:49:27.940 so sucky that

00:49:29.400 it could be

00:49:29.880 slaying tens

00:49:32.040 of thousands of

00:49:32.740 people every day

00:49:33.440 and I

00:49:33.720 don't even

00:49:34.060 know if

00:49:34.320 we'd know

00:49:34.660 it.

00:49:37.040 All right

00:49:37.440 so let's

00:49:39.600 not have a

00:49:40.080 vaccination

00:49:40.420 against the

00:49:41.140 vaccinations.

00:49:43.240 Please let's

00:49:44.040 not do that.

00:49:46.760 Any word on

00:49:48.260 taste and smell

00:49:49.160 with the Omicron?

00:49:49.900 I haven't heard

00:49:50.300 anything like

00:49:50.840 that.

00:49:51.760 Has anybody

00:49:52.300 heard of

00:49:52.860 even one

00:49:53.840 Omicron

00:49:54.780 death that's

00:49:56.700 under age

00:49:59.080 80?

00:49:59.640 even one?

00:50:05.100 Literally,

00:50:05.900 does anybody

00:50:06.300 know of

00:50:06.780 even one

00:50:07.480 Omicron

00:50:08.340 death under

00:50:08.940 80?

00:50:11.080 I haven't

00:50:11.800 heard of

00:50:12.120 one.

00:50:13.320 Don't you

00:50:13.660 think we

00:50:13.980 would have

00:50:14.240 heard of

00:50:14.500 that?

00:50:15.500 Don't you

00:50:16.180 think that

00:50:16.640 the news

00:50:18.000 would have

00:50:18.440 that anecdotal

00:50:19.380 thing?

00:50:21.040 She got

00:50:21.840 two vaccinations

00:50:22.860 and a

00:50:24.500 booster but

00:50:25.780 the Omicron

00:50:26.460 still took

00:50:27.140 her out. 0.82

00:50:28.720 Where are

00:50:29.300 all those

00:50:29.640 stories?

00:50:30.480 Because we

00:50:30.860 heard them

00:50:31.120 with Delta

00:50:31.520 every day,

00:50:32.140 right?

00:50:37.460 Yes,

00:50:38.200 viruses mutate

00:50:39.340 and get

00:50:39.780 weaker.

00:50:40.200 That is

00:50:40.500 true.

00:50:41.180 But that

00:50:41.740 doesn't mean

00:50:42.440 we shouldn't

00:50:43.120 have vaccinated.

00:50:45.880 Right?

00:50:46.440 Because

00:50:46.840 vaccination was

00:50:47.660 a stalling

00:50:48.520 tactic until

00:50:50.440 we could come

00:50:51.000 up with a

00:50:51.380 better idea.

00:50:52.380 So if we

00:50:52.880 stalled,

00:50:53.620 you know,

00:50:53.960 millions of

00:50:54.600 deaths until

00:50:56.260 the Omicron

00:50:57.020 came around

00:50:59.040 would have

00:50:59.980 ended up

00:51:00.360 to be a

00:51:00.700 good play

00:51:01.140 as long

00:51:01.960 as the

00:51:02.380 vaccines

00:51:03.340 themselves

00:51:03.740 don't kill

00:51:04.340 anybody.

00:51:10.320 Scott,

00:51:11.140 where's the

00:51:11.980 study on

00:51:12.400 reinfection

00:51:13.220 you were

00:51:14.100 talking about

00:51:14.680 yesterday?

00:51:15.220 I don't

00:51:15.420 remember.

00:51:16.960 Generally,

00:51:17.680 I don't

00:51:19.200 keep my

00:51:19.900 sources.

00:51:20.800 I would

00:51:21.040 imagine you

00:51:21.560 could Google

00:51:21.980 that.

00:51:22.800 But we

00:51:23.500 all know

00:51:23.880 that everybody

00:51:24.420 gets reinfected,

00:51:25.420 right?

00:51:25.580 there's

00:51:27.320 nobody who

00:51:27.700 has any

00:51:28.020 doubts that

00:51:28.680 you still

00:51:29.020 get infected

00:51:29.640 if you

00:51:29.960 have the

00:51:31.720 shots.

00:51:36.420 The

00:51:37.020 vaxxed are 0.99

00:51:37.700 the super

00:51:38.140 spreaders.

00:51:39.340 The evidence

00:51:40.040 suggests not.

00:51:42.420 Do you

00:51:42.700 ever gamble

00:51:43.240 in typical

00:51:43.860 casino-style

00:51:44.700 games?

00:51:45.460 Well,

00:51:46.720 technically,

00:51:48.220 yes.

00:51:49.580 Technically,

00:51:50.260 I do gamble

00:51:50.900 at a casino

00:51:51.940 if I'm in

00:51:53.000 town and

00:51:53.580 I've got

00:51:54.480 some time.

00:51:55.020 But I

00:51:55.780 don't see

00:51:56.140 it as

00:51:56.380 gambling.

00:51:57.740 I see

00:51:58.160 it as

00:51:58.520 throwing my

00:51:59.860 money away

00:52:00.440 because I

00:52:01.760 don't expect

00:52:02.300 to win.

00:52:03.440 So I

00:52:05.140 don't gamble

00:52:05.540 much.

00:52:07.540 Relative

00:52:08.060 to my

00:52:08.660 income

00:52:09.760 level,

00:52:10.500 I don't

00:52:11.380 gamble

00:52:11.620 much.

00:52:15.220 It's a

00:52:15.880 skill,

00:52:16.260 John,

00:52:16.640 learning to

00:52:17.280 read and

00:52:17.780 talk at

00:52:18.120 the same

00:52:18.440 time.

00:52:19.040 It's

00:52:19.180 actually

00:52:19.560 something

00:52:20.400 you develop

00:52:20.860 over time.

00:52:23.240 It's

00:52:23.800 interesting.

00:52:24.140 most of

00:52:25.660 you know,

00:52:25.940 I'm trying

00:52:26.280 to learn

00:52:26.680 playing

00:52:27.240 drums.

00:52:28.580 Watching

00:52:28.980 the brain

00:52:29.540 separate

00:52:30.000 itself

00:52:30.480 into

00:52:30.920 four or

00:52:31.740 five sub

00:52:32.600 brains,

00:52:33.920 which you

00:52:34.360 have to

00:52:34.700 do to

00:52:35.340 play the

00:52:35.680 drums because

00:52:36.160 all your

00:52:36.460 limbs are

00:52:36.860 operating

00:52:37.220 independently.

00:52:38.520 You can

00:52:38.860 actually

00:52:39.340 audit each

00:52:41.380 part of

00:52:41.800 your brain

00:52:42.260 as you're

00:52:43.180 going.

00:52:44.300 You can

00:52:44.680 change your

00:52:45.180 consciousness

00:52:45.620 to your

00:52:46.040 left hand.

00:52:46.580 Oh,

00:52:46.740 my left

00:52:47.060 hand is

00:52:47.340 doing this.

00:52:48.340 Oh,

00:52:48.580 let's think

00:52:48.800 about my

00:52:49.140 right hand.

00:52:49.980 Oh,

00:52:50.260 my left

00:52:50.620 hand is

00:52:50.880 still doing

00:52:51.240 that thing.

00:52:52.000 Oh,

00:52:52.280 let's

00:52:52.420 think about

00:52:52.760 my foot.

00:52:57.320 Why do

00:52:57.900 you trust

00:52:58.220 your sources

00:52:58.720 of information,

00:52:59.700 Scott?

00:53:00.040 You

00:53:00.360 fucking

00:53:00.800 idiot. 0.79

00:53:02.660 How could

00:53:03.340 you watch

00:53:03.760 me for

00:53:04.120 ten minutes

00:53:04.800 and think

00:53:05.180 I trust

00:53:05.680 any source

00:53:06.380 of information?

00:53:07.840 Seriously.

00:53:09.260 Come on.

00:53:11.080 Did you

00:53:11.500 just turn

00:53:12.260 this on?

00:53:13.720 How in

00:53:14.360 the fucking

00:53:15.020 world could

00:53:16.240 you look

00:53:16.640 at me and

00:53:17.380 say,

00:53:17.720 Scott,

00:53:18.040 why do

00:53:18.300 you trust

00:53:18.760 your

00:53:18.980 fucking

00:53:19.340 information?

00:53:20.400 Nobody

00:53:20.780 distrusts

00:53:21.500 information

00:53:21.920 more than

00:53:22.320 I do.

00:53:24.180 Seriously.

00:53:25.820 Seriously.

00:53:26.980 Name one

00:53:27.700 fucking

00:53:28.200 person on

00:53:28.740 the planet

00:53:29.180 who has

00:53:29.860 less respect

00:53:30.720 for information

00:53:31.460 than I do.

00:53:32.520 If I tell

00:53:33.340 you that

00:53:33.660 information

00:53:34.080 agrees with

00:53:34.720 my opinion,

00:53:35.840 you should

00:53:36.220 be playing

00:53:36.720 a recording

00:53:37.300 in your head

00:53:37.820 the whole

00:53:38.260 time that

00:53:39.300 says,

00:53:39.720 but probably

00:53:40.280 it's not

00:53:40.900 reliable

00:53:41.360 information.

00:53:43.120 Just do

00:53:43.640 that for

00:53:44.040 me.

00:53:44.400 Just play

00:53:45.020 that recording

00:53:45.580 in your head

00:53:46.360 every time

00:53:46.720 you listen

00:53:47.020 to me.

00:53:48.760 So you

00:53:53.820 saw a

00:53:54.180 study that

00:53:54.600 shows you

00:53:54.940 can get

00:53:55.280 COVID twice

00:53:56.200 or more.

00:53:56.700 Yeah,

00:53:56.980 that's a

00:53:58.280 known thing.

00:53:59.500 I didn't

00:53:59.840 see a

00:54:00.120 study.

00:54:00.440 I've seen

00:54:00.720 anecdotes.

00:54:02.380 So there

00:54:02.760 are known

00:54:03.740 cases of

00:54:04.580 people getting

00:54:04.980 COVID more

00:54:05.560 than once.

00:54:06.060 That is

00:54:06.300 true.

00:54:07.000 But it's

00:54:08.000 not common.

00:54:11.380 Don't feed

00:54:12.000 the trolls.

00:54:13.360 The trolls

00:54:14.000 are feeding

00:54:14.400 me.

00:54:14.720 I'm not

00:54:14.960 feeding the

00:54:15.380 trolls.

00:54:17.320 They give

00:54:18.000 me energy.

00:54:18.760 So here's

00:54:19.580 what happened

00:54:20.100 recently.

00:54:21.280 I told you

00:54:21.700 that the

00:54:22.200 professional

00:54:22.800 trolls have

00:54:23.640 started bombarding

00:54:25.540 my stream

00:54:26.700 or my

00:54:28.160 Twitter.

00:54:29.720 And then

00:54:32.440 there was a

00:54:32.880 big purge.

00:54:34.100 So my

00:54:34.800 user count

00:54:35.420 like zoomed

00:54:36.100 up, but it

00:54:37.120 seemed like it

00:54:37.580 was all

00:54:37.900 trolls.

00:54:39.080 And then

00:54:39.360 suddenly like

00:54:39.980 a thousand

00:54:40.400 people get

00:54:40.940 whacked off.

00:54:42.680 That's not a

00:54:43.620 Jeffrey

00:54:43.940 Toobin joke.

00:54:45.780 Let's say

00:54:46.320 they are

00:54:46.680 whacked

00:54:47.080 from the

00:54:48.820 service.

00:54:50.080 Not whacked

00:54:50.640 off.

00:54:55.260 And it

00:54:56.920 looks like

00:54:57.520 there's a

00:54:57.880 battle going

00:54:58.420 on between

00:54:58.960 Twitter and

00:55:00.520 the trolls.

00:55:02.000 And it

00:55:02.740 looks like

00:55:03.220 Twitter's got a

00:55:03.960 pretty good

00:55:04.260 handle on it.

00:55:05.320 Because the

00:55:06.220 trolls would

00:55:06.760 come up,

00:55:07.620 but also my

00:55:08.480 user count

00:55:09.080 would go up.

00:55:09.620 And then as

00:55:11.000 soon as the

00:55:11.400 user count

00:55:11.980 drops, which

00:55:13.140 looks like

00:55:13.700 some kind

00:55:15.180 of a

00:55:15.480 Twitter action,

00:55:16.820 the troll

00:55:17.600 action just

00:55:18.160 drops at the

00:55:18.780 same time.

00:55:19.940 So I think

00:55:20.420 the Democrats

00:55:22.240 or maybe

00:55:24.040 foreign countries,

00:55:24.820 I don't know,

00:55:26.140 and Twitter

00:55:27.040 are in this

00:55:27.860 pitched battle

00:55:28.700 right now.

00:55:29.840 And Twitter's

00:55:30.320 winning,

00:55:31.420 interestingly.

00:55:32.840 So

00:55:33.120 congratulations

00:55:34.760 to

00:55:35.680 Jack.

00:55:36.620 Jack.

00:55:38.740 Because

00:55:39.180 that was one

00:55:40.780 of the big

00:55:41.240 things Twitter

00:55:42.640 was trying to

00:55:43.140 do, is

00:55:43.460 knock down

00:55:43.980 the trolls.

00:55:44.860 And I feel

00:55:45.820 like they've

00:55:46.380 figured out

00:55:46.840 some good

00:55:47.240 tools for

00:55:47.700 doing that.

00:55:48.580 It does

00:55:48.920 look like

00:55:49.300 they're

00:55:49.460 staying ahead

00:55:49.860 of it.

00:55:54.200 Scott,

00:55:54.760 you ask

00:55:55.140 about and

00:55:55.540 criticize our

00:55:56.140 personal vaccine

00:55:56.860 decisions on

00:55:57.580 the basis of

00:55:58.160 risk management.

00:55:59.720 No, I

00:56:00.320 don't.

00:56:01.220 No, I

00:56:01.760 don't.

00:56:02.960 That's never

00:56:03.600 happened.

00:56:04.300 You are

00:56:04.760 fucking

00:56:05.460 hallucinating.

00:56:07.600 I've never

00:56:08.320 challenged any

00:56:08.940 of you

00:56:09.200 personally.

00:56:10.540 I've talked

00:56:11.280 about the

00:56:11.760 logic of

00:56:12.400 getting vaccinated

00:56:13.100 or not,

00:56:14.020 but I say

00:56:14.820 as clearly as

00:56:15.720 possible,

00:56:16.580 every situation

00:56:17.320 is different.

00:56:18.420 Nobody has

00:56:18.880 my exact

00:56:19.380 situation.

00:56:21.820 Oh, let

00:56:22.820 me thank

00:56:23.360 Erica.

00:56:25.060 Erica, I

00:56:25.580 know you're

00:56:25.920 watching.

00:56:27.380 So, I

00:56:29.720 kept wishing

00:56:30.280 I had enough

00:56:30.880 time to put

00:56:31.560 together the

00:56:32.080 whole drinking

00:56:34.400 bleach hoax

00:56:35.240 timeline.

00:56:35.820 And, you

00:56:37.120 know, the

00:56:37.320 whole transcript

00:56:38.100 and everything.

00:56:39.460 And Erica

00:56:39.860 did that,

00:56:40.500 put together

00:56:40.980 the transcripts.

00:56:42.020 I had that.

00:56:42.900 And then I

00:56:43.240 could put it

00:56:43.640 together in a

00:56:44.380 thread, etc.

00:56:46.340 So, thank

00:56:47.200 you, Erica,

00:56:48.120 on locals

00:56:50.060 and on

00:56:50.800 Twitter.

00:56:53.020 So, good

00:56:53.800 job on that.

00:56:54.580 I think that

00:56:54.940 made a big

00:56:55.340 difference.

00:56:56.020 So, now

00:56:56.300 there's a

00:56:56.720 thread that

00:56:57.480 does a good

00:56:57.920 job of

00:56:58.360 showing you

00:56:58.800 your various

00:56:59.340 sources for

00:57:00.300 debunking

00:57:00.860 that hoax.

00:57:02.040 If you

00:57:02.540 need it,

00:57:03.400 just grab

00:57:04.820 that.

00:57:05.780 You can see

00:57:06.260 it in my

00:57:06.640 Twitter feed

00:57:07.120 and you

00:57:08.280 can grab

00:57:08.880 it.

00:57:09.000 I think it

00:57:09.260 was from

00:57:09.520 yesterday.

00:57:10.540 All right,

00:57:10.800 that's all I

00:57:11.140 got for

00:57:11.380 now.

00:57:13.880 Is that

00:57:14.460 on locals

00:57:15.060 too?

00:57:16.040 No, it's

00:57:16.540 on Twitter

00:57:16.920 only right

00:57:17.620 now.

00:57:22.720 Scott

00:57:23.160 doesn't

00:57:23.560 understand that

00:57:24.320 Erica made

00:57:24.820 a useful

00:57:25.240 resource for

00:57:25.940 I assume

00:57:26.620 you're joking.

00:57:27.660 I hope

00:57:27.960 that's a

00:57:28.340 joke.

00:57:30.060 How to

00:57:30.760 debunk

00:57:31.320 Trump?

00:57:33.320 Depends

00:57:33.840 what you

00:57:34.060 need.

00:57:37.420 RFK

00:57:37.980 Jr.'s

00:57:38.540 no book.

00:57:39.120 I don't

00:57:39.440 trust RFK

00:57:40.840 Jr.

00:57:42.440 Even the

00:57:43.140 left

00:57:43.440 debunks

00:57:44.160 him.

00:57:46.820 So,

00:57:47.740 do you

00:57:48.120 really think

00:57:48.580 Trump will

00:57:48.980 win again?

00:57:49.560 50%

00:57:50.080 chance.

00:57:52.000 50%

00:57:52.660 chance.

00:57:54.580 But that's

00:57:55.300 the highest

00:57:55.620 chance of

00:57:56.140 anybody.

00:58:04.860 Okay.

00:58:06.980 How do

00:58:07.540 you find

00:58:07.800 proper

00:58:08.140 balance of

00:58:08.760 doubting

00:58:09.100 yourself

00:58:09.800 while talking

00:58:13.000 to a

00:58:13.340 spouse?

00:58:14.600 Well, I'll

00:58:15.300 tell you

00:58:15.520 what I do

00:58:16.000 is I

00:58:16.420 soften every

00:58:17.040 statement.

00:58:17.960 Because I

00:58:18.320 have a

00:58:19.060 big problem

00:58:19.860 of talking

00:58:20.440 in absolutes,

00:58:21.700 which I

00:58:22.360 imagine people

00:58:23.100 understand are

00:58:23.900 not real

00:58:24.320 absolutes.

00:58:25.300 Because it's

00:58:25.960 just faster

00:58:26.500 to talk

00:58:26.900 that way

00:58:27.240 than all

00:58:27.700 the hedging.

00:58:29.220 But I've

00:58:30.920 learned to

00:58:31.200 hedge everything.

00:58:32.740 Well, I

00:58:33.220 think this

00:58:33.580 is true,

00:58:33.980 but I

00:58:34.180 could be

00:58:34.420 wrong.

00:58:35.460 So I

00:58:35.740 just say I

00:58:36.180 could be

00:58:36.480 wrong about

00:58:36.940 everything I

00:58:37.620 assert.

00:58:38.880 Because as

00:58:39.420 soon as you

00:58:39.740 say you're

00:58:40.100 sure, that's

00:58:41.020 when the

00:58:41.280 fight starts.

00:58:42.800 But as

00:58:43.280 long as you

00:58:43.640 say, well,

00:58:44.080 I'm not

00:58:44.300 sure, but

00:58:44.840 it looks

00:58:45.520 this way to

00:58:45.960 me, is

00:58:46.720 there any

00:58:46.980 way to

00:58:47.200 find out?

00:58:47.680 So that's

00:58:49.480 my best

00:58:50.000 advice, but

00:58:50.780 it's not

00:58:51.040 good advice.

00:58:51.660 All right.

00:58:55.520 And that

00:58:56.200 is all for

00:58:57.000 today.

00:58:57.780 Goodbye,

00:58:58.180 YouTube.

00:58:58.580 Until

00:58:58.860 tomorrow.

00:58:59.160 Bye.
