Transcript

00:00:00.600 Wow, it's going to be a great day today.
00:00:04.320 And do you know why?
00:00:05.500 Well, for starters, you found your way to Coffee with Scott Adams,
00:00:09.880 and that identifies you as, well, smarter than average,
00:00:15.000 probably sexier, I think you'll live longer,
00:00:17.820 and I've got a strong intuition that your antibodies are way above average.
00:00:22.880 That's how awesome you are.
00:00:24.820 But do you think this will be a good day for the live stream?
00:00:28.460 Yes, it's going to be the best day ever in the history of the universe,
00:00:32.120 and all you need to get going is a cup or a mug or a glass,
00:00:34.640 a tank or a chelice or a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:39.580 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:42.940 I like coffee.
00:00:44.580 Yeah, it's a different mug. We'll talk about that.
00:00:47.480 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:00:51.000 It's the dopamine of the day.
00:00:53.240 It's the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:55.260 It's called the Simultaneous Sip and Happens Now Go.
00:00:58.460 Ah, yeah, that's so good.
00:01:04.700 Well, I have the non-standard mug.
00:01:06.480 I know you're interested in all things coffee.
00:01:09.600 Because my kitchen was being worked on yesterday,
00:01:12.240 and I cleverly took everything that I would need out of the kitchen
00:01:16.500 and put it in a different room
00:01:18.560 so that while the kitchen was being worked on
00:01:21.000 and I didn't have access to it
00:01:22.280 because the floor was being worked on,
00:01:25.480 that I would have everything I needed.
00:01:28.240 And the one thing I forgot,
00:01:30.420 I even moved the coffee maker, all the coffee.
00:01:34.140 I forgot a mug.
00:01:36.540 So here I was, all prepared yesterday,
00:01:38.580 and I didn't have a mug to put my coffee in.
00:01:42.120 How unhappy was I?
00:01:43.840 Well, I drove immediately to the local Starbucks
00:01:47.160 and bought myself a couple of mugs.
00:01:49.800 Anyway, how many of you have seen my pinned tweet
00:01:55.220 in which I asked for people to show me all their best memes for 2021?
00:02:00.280 Has anybody spent any time looking at that?
00:02:04.260 Let me just say,
00:02:06.400 oh, my God.
00:02:10.200 Think about the funniest thing you've seen all year.
00:02:13.180 It might have been Dave Chappelle.
00:02:15.500 Very funny.
00:02:17.280 Maybe there was some event or some friend of yours.
00:02:20.580 The funniest thing that happened to you all year.
00:02:23.040 Just think about what that is.
00:02:25.620 Okay, got that in your mind?
00:02:26.860 The funniest thing,
00:02:27.860 the thing you laughed at the most all year.
00:02:30.280 Now multiply that by about five
00:02:32.820 and go look at the comments
00:02:34.960 to my pinned tweet asking for memes.
00:02:39.320 You will, I actually, this is not a joke.
00:02:43.220 I'm going to say something that sounds like obvious hyperbole.
00:02:46.460 Literally, meaning the actual word literally.
00:02:50.420 No joke.
00:02:51.720 I had to stop reading them for health reasons.
00:02:55.860 No joke.
00:02:56.440 I swear to God, that is a literal truth.
00:03:00.820 I had to take time off and go back in
00:03:04.120 because I laughed so hard.
00:03:07.820 Not a joke.
00:03:09.420 I thought I was going to hurt something.
00:03:11.980 It was actually dangerous.
00:03:14.340 I don't even remember the last time I laughed that hard.
00:03:16.960 Now here's the thing that is a little humor writing tip.
00:03:22.660 You ready?
00:03:25.000 Humor, if you look at these memes
00:03:27.140 and you look at any one individually,
00:03:29.520 you might love it, you might laugh.
00:03:31.600 But when you see them all as a collective,
00:03:35.220 you know, you read a bunch of them on different topics,
00:03:37.840 it has a whole different effect.
00:03:39.860 And the effect is it just brings you into this absurdity world
00:03:45.120 where everything's absurd for a while
00:03:47.760 and you can just go live there for a while.
00:03:49.940 If you just see one meme, you're like boop, boop,
00:03:52.680 you're in and out.
00:03:53.620 It's like you weren't ever there.
00:03:55.360 But if you read them all at once
00:03:57.700 and you just sort of live in them for a while,
00:04:00.820 you will cry.
00:04:02.100 I mean, you will cry laughing
00:04:05.740 until I was feeling like
00:04:08.840 something was going to give out in my actual guts.
00:04:15.220 I can't recommend it enough.
00:04:18.400 Do yourself a favor.
00:04:20.260 Just spend 10 minutes.
00:04:22.540 That's all I'm asking.
00:04:23.960 If you don't cry,
00:04:26.140 I will be very surprised.
00:04:28.240 Cry laughing, that is.
00:04:29.240 Speaking of things to laugh at,
00:04:35.500 I was reading an article,
00:04:36.800 I think it was in BuzzFeed,
00:04:38.320 in which women were saying
00:04:39.500 what they also saw in Pete Davidson.
00:04:42.560 You know, Pete Davidson has been dating
00:04:44.820 a bunch of A-list celebrity women
00:04:46.960 that you would say to yourself,
00:04:50.200 or at least men tend to say this,
00:04:52.420 how does he get all these women?
00:04:55.560 Right?
00:04:56.240 And so women were asked what they saw in him.
00:05:00.240 I love some of the answers.
00:05:04.660 For example,
00:05:06.580 he's such a mess,
00:05:07.960 I mean, I'm paraphrasing the answers,
00:05:09.500 so this is my words,
00:05:11.100 but this idea,
00:05:12.960 that he's such a mess
00:05:13.860 that you're pretty sure he won't judge you.
00:05:17.060 What do you think of that?
00:05:19.040 He's such a basket case,
00:05:20.760 which, you know,
00:05:21.780 he's very overt about,
00:05:23.420 very transparent.
00:05:24.840 He'll tell you what a basket case he is
00:05:26.620 and has been,
00:05:27.940 and that it makes you comfortable around him.
00:05:31.040 True?
00:05:32.240 I think so.
00:05:33.700 I think you're more comfortable around people
00:05:35.640 who clearly have more problems than you do.
00:05:39.160 That's one thing.
00:05:40.420 Now, he's also tall,
00:05:41.600 he's successful,
00:05:42.420 he's funny,
00:05:43.520 you know,
00:05:43.820 he's getting rich,
00:05:45.760 which didn't matter to the specific women he was with,
00:05:48.380 but, you know,
00:05:50.140 you can see all those things as well.
00:05:51.900 But here's the funniest part.
00:05:54.820 Somebody,
00:05:55.460 it was a tweet
00:05:56.840 that was part of the article,
00:05:58.580 somebody described Pete Davidson
00:06:00.300 as looking like a wet cigarette.
00:06:11.020 That's good.
00:06:12.800 I mean, that's really good.
00:06:13.760 I've seen people describe me
00:06:17.480 as looking like a thumb,
00:06:19.340 and, you know,
00:06:19.900 I laugh at that too.
00:06:21.480 So, you know,
00:06:22.300 I don't want to make fun of people's looks.
00:06:24.040 I don't generally do that.
00:06:25.260 But when somebody makes a,
00:06:26.980 like a spot-on
00:06:28.540 kind of analogy,
00:06:31.740 a wet cigarette,
00:06:33.080 I don't think that could be any better,
00:06:34.740 could it?
00:06:35.800 I mean,
00:06:36.080 just in terms of cruel descriptions of people.
00:06:38.940 I've been on the receiving end
00:06:40.140 of lots of cruel descriptions,
00:06:41.560 and I can tell you
00:06:42.940 that when they're done well,
00:06:44.200 they're actually just hilarious,
00:06:45.980 even if it's about you.
00:06:48.300 So,
00:06:48.900 I'd like to think
00:06:49.820 that he would laugh at that too,
00:06:51.180 because it's just so clever.
00:06:54.740 So,
00:06:55.260 I think that women know
00:06:56.380 that he's not going to think
00:06:57.820 he's better than them.
00:07:00.840 But,
00:07:02.540 and somebody else said
00:07:03.340 he's a nice guy,
00:07:04.600 but he's sort of confident
00:07:06.360 in who he is.
00:07:09.080 I think,
00:07:09.500 have you ever heard the phrase,
00:07:10.580 people are comfortable
00:07:12.460 in their own skin?
00:07:14.500 In other words,
00:07:14.960 it doesn't matter who you are,
00:07:16.100 but are you comfortable
00:07:17.060 being that person?
00:07:18.220 And if you are,
00:07:18.880 other people are comfortable
00:07:19.800 around you.
00:07:21.020 Now,
00:07:21.440 I'm not sure
00:07:22.240 that describes
00:07:23.240 Pete Davidson,
00:07:24.920 because that would require
00:07:25.920 reading his mind,
00:07:27.200 and we can't do that.
00:07:28.400 But I would say
00:07:29.000 it looks like that,
00:07:30.420 you know,
00:07:30.660 from the outside.
00:07:31.960 It looks like
00:07:32.680 he's someone
00:07:33.800 who's completely
00:07:34.800 confident
00:07:35.880 that he is
00:07:37.960 just him,
00:07:38.400 and he's not
00:07:39.400 anybody else
00:07:40.040 that he's not
00:07:40.420 trying to be.
00:07:41.600 So,
00:07:42.060 the fact that he's
00:07:42.880 putting no effort
00:07:43.660 into trying to look
00:07:44.580 like somebody else,
00:07:46.620 I think that gives him
00:07:47.540 a little credit,
00:07:48.140 doesn't it?
00:07:49.360 I think he's likable.
00:07:51.820 I mean,
00:07:52.140 you know,
00:07:52.900 I like everybody
00:07:53.780 with a sense of humor.
00:07:56.460 So,
00:07:57.040 I know I would like him
00:07:58.200 if he were in the same room.
00:08:00.300 So,
00:08:00.580 you got that.
00:08:01.480 But here's the other thing
00:08:02.360 that I think people
00:08:03.060 are missing
00:08:03.480 in the story.
00:08:05.260 The story is about
00:08:06.100 how all these
00:08:07.180 top,
00:08:09.520 let's say,
00:08:10.360 top celebrity
00:08:11.020 and attractive women
00:08:12.860 all like him.
00:08:14.240 Is that the real story?
00:08:16.580 Because there's a part
00:08:17.420 of the story
00:08:17.860 they're leaving out.
00:08:20.500 None of them
00:08:21.160 wanted to marry him.
00:08:23.920 Am I right?
00:08:26.180 Why isn't that the story?
00:08:28.600 The story should be
00:08:29.580 zero people
00:08:30.700 wanted to marry
00:08:31.460 Pete Davidson.
00:08:33.180 Now,
00:08:33.640 I don't know
00:08:33.900 if he wanted
00:08:34.320 to get married.
00:08:35.000 Maybe not.
00:08:36.100 But,
00:08:37.060 I'm not sure
00:08:38.220 that women
00:08:38.620 see him
00:08:39.080 as a keeper.
00:08:40.880 I think they might
00:08:41.740 see him as
00:08:42.320 just a great guy
00:08:43.280 to hang around with.
00:08:44.440 Because he looks
00:08:45.020 like he'd be fun.
00:08:45.960 I mean,
00:08:46.180 how would it not be fun?
00:08:48.080 It would be hard
00:08:48.900 to even,
00:08:50.060 like,
00:08:50.280 could you even
00:08:50.760 picture in your mind
00:08:52.080 hanging out
00:08:53.740 with Pete Davidson
00:08:54.480 and not having fun?
00:08:56.980 Like,
00:08:57.340 you really can't
00:08:57.840 even conceive of it,
00:08:58.700 can you?
00:08:59.840 So,
00:09:00.420 I totally see
00:09:01.620 his appeal.
00:09:03.440 I don't think
00:09:04.500 people are going
00:09:06.020 to line up
00:09:06.820 to marry him
00:09:07.400 right away
00:09:07.840 for a lot
00:09:09.460 of the same reasons.
00:09:11.120 Rasmussen
00:09:11.540 has a poll
00:09:12.160 that Biden's
00:09:13.200 approval is
00:09:13.880 at 41%,
00:09:15.500 his disapproval
00:09:17.280 at 57%.
00:09:19.060 But here's the
00:09:20.400 weird thing.
00:09:21.560 57% disapprove
00:09:23.240 of him,
00:09:24.080 but yet 64%
00:09:25.320 say things
00:09:26.360 are heading
00:09:26.680 in the wrong
00:09:27.140 direction.
00:09:29.520 I don't know.
00:09:30.440 Maybe because
00:09:31.180 it's not his fault?
00:09:32.500 I would think
00:09:33.200 that his disapproval
00:09:34.160 would be closer
00:09:34.840 to the same
00:09:36.240 as the number
00:09:36.820 that say it's
00:09:37.400 heading in the
00:09:37.880 wrong direction.
00:09:38.780 It's in that
00:09:39.240 neighborhood,
00:09:39.880 but I'd expect
00:09:40.600 that to be closer.
00:09:42.640 Anyway,
00:09:43.040 where are all
00:09:46.100 the people
00:09:46.480 who thought
00:09:47.000 things would be
00:09:47.720 better under Trump?
00:09:50.060 Because I don't
00:09:50.800 think we got
00:09:51.320 that, right?
00:09:51.940 Or better under
00:09:52.560 Biden than Trump.
00:09:53.480 I don't think
00:09:53.840 we got that.
00:09:55.140 I wonder if
00:09:55.580 people are noticing.
00:09:57.600 So,
00:09:58.540 Brian Stilter
00:10:01.480 was pointing out
00:10:02.300 that the
00:10:03.280 January 6th
00:10:04.260 committee hearings
00:10:05.080 were apparently
00:10:06.620 being broadcast
00:10:07.240 by CNN,
00:10:08.420 but he points
00:10:09.260 out that it
00:10:10.180 wasn't being
00:10:10.820 carried by
00:10:11.400 Fox News,
00:10:13.360 Newsmax,
00:10:14.160 or One
00:10:14.560 America News,
00:10:15.720 all right-leaning
00:10:16.940 news outlets.
00:10:19.860 So,
00:10:20.160 what do you
00:10:20.360 think?
00:10:20.660 Does Stilter
00:10:21.720 have a point?
00:10:23.000 Because you've
00:10:23.420 seen it in the
00:10:23.860 other direction,
00:10:24.560 right?
00:10:25.780 You've seen the
00:10:26.520 other direction
00:10:27.100 where Fox News
00:10:28.860 would carry
00:10:29.260 something all day
00:10:29.940 long that
00:10:31.440 the CNN
00:10:32.800 would not.
00:10:33.800 You could
00:10:34.060 probably think
00:10:34.500 of some
00:10:34.940 examples of
00:10:36.000 that.
00:10:36.980 So,
00:10:37.360 does he have
00:10:37.720 a point?
00:10:38.060 Do you feel
00:10:40.120 like you're
00:10:40.520 being manipulated
00:10:41.360 by the right-leaning
00:10:43.600 media for not
00:10:45.080 showing you that?
00:10:45.820 Why don't
00:10:48.600 you care?
00:10:50.760 Why don't
00:10:51.300 you care?
00:10:53.840 Now,
00:10:54.300 I can see why
00:10:54.840 CNN wouldn't
00:10:55.500 cover the
00:10:55.880 Trump rallies
00:10:56.560 because those
00:10:57.060 are purely
00:10:57.520 political.
00:10:57.960 you don't
00:11:02.200 care.
00:11:03.260 Okay?
00:11:03.680 Here's my
00:11:04.340 speculation about
00:11:05.440 why the people
00:11:06.120 on the right
00:11:06.800 and therefore
00:11:07.620 the platforms
00:11:08.400 themselves don't
00:11:10.160 carry it.
00:11:10.660 see if this
00:11:11.580 rings true
00:11:12.160 with you
00:11:12.540 because everyone
00:11:14.920 on the right
00:11:15.620 knows it
00:11:16.820 wasn't an
00:11:17.360 insurrection.
00:11:19.160 So,
00:11:19.760 it's a
00:11:20.240 committee to
00:11:21.460 find out if
00:11:22.580 an insurrection
00:11:23.380 happened and
00:11:24.260 how it happened
00:11:24.900 and who was
00:11:25.340 behind it.
00:11:26.680 Everyone on
00:11:27.440 the right
00:11:27.800 knows it's
00:11:28.340 not real.
00:11:31.200 Everyone.
00:11:33.040 Everyone.
00:11:34.380 I think
00:11:34.740 everyone on
00:11:35.280 the right
00:11:35.540 knows there
00:11:35.960 was no
00:11:36.280 insurrection
00:11:36.720 and that no
00:11:37.660 one will be
00:11:38.160 charged with
00:11:38.700 one.
00:11:38.940 Now,
00:11:40.820 I realize
00:11:41.160 that insurrection
00:11:41.680 is difficult
00:11:42.580 to charge,
00:11:44.800 but there's
00:11:46.240 nobody even
00:11:46.700 close.
00:11:48.460 Is there?
00:11:49.440 They're being
00:11:49.980 charged with
00:11:50.600 individual crimes
00:11:51.580 which I think
00:11:52.640 in most cases
00:11:53.320 they did
00:11:53.800 commit.
00:11:55.000 So,
00:11:55.320 I don't,
00:11:55.720 and here's
00:11:56.300 the thing,
00:11:57.060 are any
00:11:58.440 conservatives
00:11:59.780 complaining
00:12:00.620 that the
00:12:02.280 protesters
00:12:02.840 who literally
00:12:03.680 broke a
00:12:04.320 law are
00:12:05.940 subject to
00:12:06.880 the legal
00:12:08.380 system?
00:12:08.940 I haven't
00:12:10.120 heard anybody
00:12:10.520 complain about
00:12:11.100 that.
00:12:11.700 We've
00:12:11.920 complained about
00:12:12.460 people being
00:12:13.060 jailed for
00:12:13.960 too long
00:12:14.580 without the
00:12:15.540 system,
00:12:16.600 you know,
00:12:17.000 dealing with
00:12:17.640 them one way
00:12:18.080 or another.
00:12:18.820 And that
00:12:19.120 looks criminal
00:12:19.880 to me.
00:12:21.100 But nobody's
00:12:21.760 complaining about
00:12:22.360 the fact that
00:12:23.000 there's a thing
00:12:23.640 called laws
00:12:24.360 that apply to
00:12:25.700 everybody.
00:12:28.460 All right,
00:12:28.980 that's my theory,
00:12:29.840 is that the
00:12:30.320 people on the
00:12:30.780 left need to
00:12:31.640 see it because
00:12:32.760 they could find
00:12:33.680 out what's going
00:12:34.360 on, but the
00:12:34.960 people on the
00:12:35.380 right already
00:12:36.220 know.
00:12:37.120 There's nothing
00:12:37.680 to find out.
00:12:38.920 Why would
00:12:39.340 you show an
00:12:39.940 entire hearing
00:12:41.600 of nothing?
00:12:43.280 That's what it
00:12:43.920 looks like on
00:12:44.340 the right.
00:12:45.180 Now, I'm
00:12:46.140 being too
00:12:46.560 kind because
00:12:47.480 obviously all
00:12:48.480 the news
00:12:48.840 organizations are
00:12:49.840 in some way
00:12:51.400 brainwashing
00:12:52.340 tools.
00:12:54.140 So if they
00:12:55.020 choose to not
00:12:56.020 show something
00:12:56.600 or show
00:12:57.020 something, that
00:12:58.460 is a statement
00:12:59.400 about brainwashing.
00:13:01.000 But in this
00:13:01.820 case, CNN is
00:13:02.620 doing the
00:13:03.020 brainwashing and
00:13:04.100 the other
00:13:05.320 entities already
00:13:06.900 said everything
00:13:07.420 they need to
00:13:07.940 say.
00:13:08.780 There's nothing
00:13:09.240 there except
00:13:10.500 individual crimes
00:13:11.500 which need to
00:13:12.100 be dealt
00:13:13.000 with.
00:13:14.540 All right,
00:13:14.860 here are some
00:13:15.220 examples of
00:13:15.940 recent mass
00:13:16.660 brainwashing
00:13:17.380 operations.
00:13:18.160 And by the
00:13:18.460 way, I think
00:13:19.640 we need to
00:13:20.120 get away from
00:13:21.040 our old words
00:13:23.300 about the
00:13:24.160 so-called news
00:13:25.000 networks and
00:13:26.320 social media
00:13:26.960 collectively.
00:13:27.800 They're not
00:13:28.460 really about
00:13:29.180 news anymore,
00:13:29.840 are they?
00:13:30.940 It would be,
00:13:32.100 I think it
00:13:32.520 would be more
00:13:32.980 accurate and
00:13:33.800 without
00:13:34.300 hyperbole.
00:13:36.180 I'm going to
00:13:36.880 try to be
00:13:37.460 just straightforward
00:13:39.260 on the facts
00:13:40.200 and not
00:13:40.800 exaggerate them.
00:13:41.680 It'll sound
00:13:42.140 like an
00:13:42.500 exaggeration,
00:13:43.880 but I'm not
00:13:44.340 trying to do
00:13:44.940 that.
00:13:45.180 I'm honestly
00:13:45.780 trying to not
00:13:46.480 exaggerate.
00:13:48.200 I think the
00:13:49.260 things we used
00:13:49.880 to call the
00:13:50.300 news are so
00:13:51.040 clearly now
00:13:51.980 just brainwashing
00:13:53.860 operations that
00:13:55.860 I have trouble
00:13:56.860 even considering
00:13:57.640 them as news
00:13:58.540 entities.
00:14:00.180 They just
00:14:00.600 look like a
00:14:02.200 brainwashing
00:14:02.780 operation going
00:14:03.800 in different
00:14:04.180 directions.
00:14:05.680 That's all it
00:14:06.140 looks like to
00:14:06.600 me.
00:14:07.560 Now there is
00:14:08.200 news there
00:14:08.860 which gives
00:14:09.340 them a reason
00:14:10.740 or a cover
00:14:11.280 story for
00:14:11.800 existing,
00:14:12.400 I guess.
00:14:13.240 But listen
00:14:13.840 to all these.
00:14:15.000 In my opinion,
00:14:16.240 these are
00:14:16.620 brainwashing
00:14:17.300 operations,
00:14:18.820 meaning that
00:14:19.400 somebody
00:14:19.860 intentionally
00:14:20.560 said,
00:14:21.680 let's convince
00:14:22.220 somebody of
00:14:22.940 something that's
00:14:23.640 not true,
00:14:24.920 as opposed to
00:14:26.120 just fake news
00:14:26.900 where it's just
00:14:27.680 not true.
00:14:28.500 But somebody
00:14:28.960 actually decided
00:14:30.100 specifically,
00:14:32.440 let's see if
00:14:32.920 we can sell
00:14:33.420 this not
00:14:34.020 true thing.
00:14:35.440 You had the
00:14:35.820 Russia collusion
00:14:36.580 hoax.
00:14:37.820 They knew
00:14:38.280 that wasn't
00:14:38.740 true.
00:14:40.020 Here's a new
00:14:40.740 one I'm adding
00:14:41.180 to my list.
00:14:42.280 Have you seen
00:14:42.740 the chart that
00:14:44.380 shows you that
00:14:45.100 at exactly the
00:14:45.980 same time,
00:14:46.620 Occupy Wall
00:14:47.400 Street disappeared
00:14:48.840 for no reason?
00:14:51.200 Because what
00:14:51.620 they were
00:14:51.880 complaining about
00:14:52.580 didn't stop.
00:14:53.480 It got worse.
00:14:54.840 The income
00:14:55.380 distribution got
00:14:56.220 worse, not
00:14:56.700 better.
00:14:56.920 But Occupy
00:14:58.020 Wall Street
00:14:58.360 just sort of
00:14:58.860 went away.
00:15:00.560 And then it
00:15:00.920 was replaced
00:15:01.480 with critical
00:15:02.180 race theory
00:15:02.800 and Black
00:15:03.280 Lives Matter
00:15:03.840 and race,
00:15:04.800 race, race,
00:15:05.280 everything's
00:15:05.680 race.
00:15:06.980 Okay?
00:15:08.340 That's not
00:15:09.000 natural.
00:15:10.460 That's a
00:15:11.060 brainwashing
00:15:11.620 operation.
00:15:13.000 Obviously,
00:15:13.640 somebody decided
00:15:14.700 Occupy Wall
00:15:15.520 Street didn't
00:15:16.060 work as a
00:15:17.080 frame, and so
00:15:18.380 they came up
00:15:18.900 with a new
00:15:19.260 frame.
00:15:19.540 I don't know
00:15:19.840 who they is.
00:15:21.180 You could guess
00:15:21.940 it's Soros.
00:15:22.800 I know you're
00:15:23.280 going to say
00:15:23.560 Soros.
00:15:23.940 I don't have
00:15:25.060 personal reason
00:15:26.540 to believe
00:15:26.960 he's the
00:15:27.340 one cause
00:15:28.500 of all
00:15:28.800 this stuff.
00:15:30.220 But clearly
00:15:31.640 there were
00:15:32.140 numbers of
00:15:32.760 people in
00:15:33.460 important places
00:15:34.480 that thought
00:15:35.060 that race
00:15:35.680 was going to
00:15:36.220 be the new
00:15:36.660 frame.
00:15:37.980 And so I
00:15:38.700 would call
00:15:38.980 that a
00:15:39.260 brainwashing
00:15:39.820 operation
00:15:40.240 because not
00:15:40.960 much changed.
00:15:43.060 Right?
00:15:43.540 From, you
00:15:44.620 know, from
00:15:45.060 two years
00:15:45.700 ago, I
00:15:47.040 don't know
00:15:47.300 that much
00:15:47.600 changed, but
00:15:48.380 suddenly it's
00:15:48.800 the biggest
00:15:49.140 topic in the
00:15:49.740 world.
00:15:50.260 So that
00:15:50.620 screams
00:15:51.140 brainwashing
00:15:52.200 operation.
00:15:53.960 You saw
00:15:54.560 the Waukesha
00:15:56.320 story disappear.
00:15:59.700 That's a
00:16:00.080 brainwashing
00:16:00.660 operation.
00:16:01.660 They just
00:16:01.960 make an
00:16:02.820 inconvenient
00:16:03.540 narrative
00:16:04.700 disappear.
00:16:06.420 Of course,
00:16:07.060 the fine
00:16:07.380 people hoax,
00:16:08.320 the drinking
00:16:08.740 bleach hoax,
00:16:09.580 were two
00:16:10.060 big brainwashing
00:16:11.100 operations.
00:16:12.320 They worked
00:16:12.800 on the left
00:16:13.360 and worked
00:16:13.940 a little bit
00:16:14.400 on the right,
00:16:15.000 amazingly.
00:16:16.340 And then the
00:16:17.120 thought that
00:16:18.200 the courts
00:16:19.200 have validated
00:16:19.960 the election.
00:16:21.860 That's a
00:16:22.500 brainwashing
00:16:23.040 operation.
00:16:23.480 I think
00:16:24.240 half of the
00:16:24.680 country thinks
00:16:25.280 that the
00:16:25.660 courts looked
00:16:26.280 at the
00:16:26.540 election and
00:16:27.100 decided it
00:16:27.660 was fair.
00:16:29.260 You know
00:16:29.640 nothing like
00:16:30.100 that happened,
00:16:30.660 right?
00:16:31.660 There were
00:16:32.180 just a few
00:16:32.960 cases brought
00:16:33.660 to the
00:16:33.980 courts, and
00:16:35.060 in the most
00:16:35.780 cases, most
00:16:36.780 of them they
00:16:37.940 didn't have
00:16:38.300 standing, or it
00:16:39.080 was too late,
00:16:40.000 or there was a
00:16:41.360 reason that the
00:16:42.000 court couldn't
00:16:42.460 look at it, or
00:16:43.580 it was too early
00:16:44.260 before anybody
00:16:45.020 had audited
00:16:45.420 anything.
00:16:46.180 But basically
00:16:46.860 the courts
00:16:47.380 looked at a
00:16:48.620 whole bunch
00:16:49.020 of nothing.
00:16:50.280 There was a
00:16:50.700 lot of it,
00:16:51.260 but all of
00:16:52.860 it added up
00:16:53.320 to nothing.
00:16:54.280 So they
00:16:54.800 can't prove
00:16:55.660 there was no
00:16:56.340 election problems,
00:16:57.840 they can only
00:16:58.300 prove they
00:16:58.720 didn't judge
00:16:59.880 that there
00:17:00.140 was any,
00:17:01.160 which is
00:17:01.560 different.
00:17:03.020 All right, so
00:17:03.340 those are just
00:17:03.720 some examples.
00:17:04.820 Yeah, I just
00:17:06.320 don't even see
00:17:06.900 the news
00:17:07.340 anymore as
00:17:07.980 even intending
00:17:09.420 to give you
00:17:09.940 news.
00:17:10.600 It looks like
00:17:11.580 the intention
00:17:12.820 is to
00:17:13.860 brainwash.
00:17:16.620 All right.
00:17:17.260 I was
00:17:19.880 talking to
00:17:21.820 a gentleman
00:17:22.460 online who
00:17:23.180 had been
00:17:23.460 brainwashed to
00:17:24.180 believe there
00:17:24.540 was an
00:17:24.940 insurrection,
00:17:25.840 and when I
00:17:26.280 said it was
00:17:27.760 a weird
00:17:28.060 insurrection
00:17:28.520 because the
00:17:29.760 most armed
00:17:30.540 segment of
00:17:31.420 American life
00:17:32.220 didn't bring
00:17:33.320 weapons, and
00:17:35.280 I was corrected
00:17:35.960 that there
00:17:36.740 were actually
00:17:37.300 six guns
00:17:38.900 were retrieved
00:17:40.280 from the
00:17:41.120 protesters.
00:17:41.700 We assume
00:17:42.100 there were
00:17:42.360 more, but
00:17:43.360 six were
00:17:44.100 discovered.
00:17:45.440 Do you know
00:17:45.900 how they
00:17:46.180 discovered them?
00:17:48.120 Well, it
00:17:48.720 wasn't because
00:17:49.220 anybody had
00:17:50.000 one out.
00:17:52.460 I think, you
00:17:54.040 know, they
00:17:54.220 were probably
00:17:54.580 arrested for
00:17:55.140 other reasons
00:17:55.780 or whatever
00:17:56.540 and have
00:17:56.880 guns, but
00:17:58.100 this was
00:17:59.260 given to me
00:17:59.900 as a reason
00:18:00.500 to believe it
00:18:01.800 was an
00:18:02.240 armed
00:18:02.620 insurrection,
00:18:03.540 that they
00:18:03.880 had found
00:18:04.200 six guns.
00:18:05.540 And I
00:18:05.840 pointed out
00:18:06.400 that six
00:18:07.220 guns is
00:18:08.000 roughly the
00:18:09.240 amount of
00:18:09.620 guns in a
00:18:10.340 Texas Walmart
00:18:11.220 on any
00:18:12.420 given moment.
00:18:14.360 Am I
00:18:15.100 wrong?
00:18:15.360 If you
00:18:16.480 go into a
00:18:17.100 Walmart in
00:18:17.720 Texas, do
00:18:19.400 you think
00:18:19.660 there are
00:18:19.920 six guns
00:18:20.440 in there?
00:18:22.040 I'll bet.
00:18:24.140 And then
00:18:24.740 how many are
00:18:25.160 in the
00:18:25.380 parking lot?
00:18:27.080 Six guns
00:18:27.820 in the
00:18:28.060 building, but
00:18:28.500 how many are
00:18:28.920 in the
00:18:29.240 parking lot?
00:18:31.060 Oh, a
00:18:31.820 hundred.
00:18:33.580 That's probably
00:18:34.260 every Walmart.
00:18:35.840 So, no, that
00:18:36.640 doesn't mean
00:18:37.020 anything that
00:18:37.500 there were
00:18:37.740 six guns in
00:18:38.760 a gigantic
00:18:39.980 gathering of
00:18:40.980 conservatives.
00:18:41.540 conservatives
00:18:42.680 bring guns
00:18:43.500 in case they
00:18:44.800 need them.
00:18:45.680 It's just
00:18:46.100 standard procedure
00:18:46.920 for a lot
00:18:47.400 of people.
00:18:51.260 True or
00:18:52.040 false, the
00:18:53.900 public needs
00:18:54.640 an advocate
00:18:55.400 for getting
00:18:56.600 us out of
00:18:57.560 the pandemic
00:18:58.720 constraints.
00:19:02.420 The public
00:19:03.280 needs an
00:19:03.740 advocate.
00:19:04.940 What we
00:19:05.340 have are
00:19:05.880 elected
00:19:06.260 representatives.
00:19:08.140 They're the
00:19:08.920 wrong people.
00:19:10.200 not by
00:19:11.640 personality
00:19:12.180 and not
00:19:12.640 by competence.
00:19:15.380 The problem
00:19:15.960 here is that
00:19:16.500 the public,
00:19:17.880 and this is
00:19:18.480 a rare
00:19:18.800 situation,
00:19:20.140 where the
00:19:20.520 public's
00:19:20.980 interest is
00:19:21.560 just not
00:19:21.980 the same
00:19:22.480 as the
00:19:22.800 government's
00:19:23.260 interest.
00:19:24.620 Normally,
00:19:25.280 they're really
00:19:25.660 in lock
00:19:26.080 step.
00:19:27.200 Normally,
00:19:27.680 the government
00:19:28.040 has to do
00:19:28.620 a good job
00:19:29.320 for the
00:19:29.720 people in
00:19:30.740 a way that
00:19:31.140 the people
00:19:31.480 can observe
00:19:32.260 and see,
00:19:33.500 and that
00:19:33.880 will help
00:19:34.240 them get
00:19:34.580 elected and
00:19:35.380 would be
00:19:35.840 good for
00:19:36.120 the politicians.
00:19:37.220 So, we've
00:19:37.700 designed a
00:19:38.280 really good
00:19:38.740 system.
00:19:39.160 You know,
00:19:40.320 compared to
00:19:40.840 the alternatives.
00:19:42.100 The republic
00:19:42.780 or democratic
00:19:44.360 processes within
00:19:45.480 is really
00:19:46.680 good.
00:19:47.480 Really good.
00:19:49.360 You know,
00:19:49.780 with laws,
00:19:50.600 of course,
00:19:51.140 but the best
00:19:52.160 we have.
00:19:53.400 But here's
00:19:54.560 the problem.
00:19:55.840 The government
00:19:56.520 has to manage
00:19:57.940 for minimum
00:19:58.820 death.
00:20:00.120 What does
00:20:00.900 everybody say
00:20:01.540 is the number
00:20:02.180 one job
00:20:02.940 of a government?
00:20:04.680 Protect the
00:20:05.780 citizens.
00:20:07.060 Am I right?
00:20:07.520 Everybody
00:20:08.560 would agree
00:20:09.020 with that.
00:20:09.800 The number
00:20:10.140 one job
00:20:10.720 of government
00:20:11.340 is to
00:20:12.520 protect
00:20:13.060 the citizens.
00:20:15.720 Somebody
00:20:16.200 says it's
00:20:16.680 not.
00:20:18.040 Really?
00:20:19.100 You would
00:20:19.440 disagree with
00:20:19.920 that statement?
00:20:20.860 I'm saying
00:20:21.300 that's the,
00:20:22.900 if you listen
00:20:23.960 to any
00:20:24.380 politician,
00:20:25.640 they will
00:20:26.020 tell you
00:20:26.320 that.
00:20:27.260 That their
00:20:27.900 job is to
00:20:28.680 protect people.
00:20:30.220 Now,
00:20:30.640 that doesn't
00:20:31.020 mean take
00:20:31.380 their freedom
00:20:31.840 away.
00:20:33.300 Right?
00:20:33.740 That means
00:20:35.100 protect them.
00:20:36.260 Make sure
00:20:36.560 you've got
00:20:37.000 law enforcement.
00:20:37.940 Make sure
00:20:38.160 you have
00:20:38.400 a national
00:20:38.800 defense.
00:20:40.180 Make sure,
00:20:41.020 you know,
00:20:41.500 maybe OSHA
00:20:42.320 and stuff.
00:20:42.880 Make sure
00:20:43.220 that you're
00:20:43.620 not doing
00:20:44.080 obviously
00:20:44.620 dangerous
00:20:45.120 things that
00:20:45.880 are just
00:20:46.160 ridiculous.
00:20:47.500 Now,
00:20:47.940 of course,
00:20:48.340 they might
00:20:48.600 go too
00:20:48.980 far,
00:20:49.380 and that's
00:20:49.660 another
00:20:49.900 conversation.
00:20:51.280 You know,
00:20:51.540 go too
00:20:51.880 far in
00:20:52.180 trying to
00:20:52.460 keep you
00:20:52.760 safe.
00:20:53.020 And I
00:20:53.740 think that's
00:20:54.160 our exact
00:20:54.640 situation
00:20:55.200 here.
00:20:56.560 What the
00:20:57.140 public wants
00:20:58.040 is an
00:20:59.740 objective
00:21:00.380 risk management
00:21:01.640 decision based
00:21:03.340 on the
00:21:03.660 best
00:21:03.900 information.
00:21:05.440 And for
00:21:05.800 most of
00:21:06.280 us,
00:21:06.540 that would
00:21:06.760 indicate
00:21:07.100 opening up
00:21:07.920 sooner than
00:21:09.560 the government
00:21:10.180 wants.
00:21:11.280 Am I right?
00:21:12.320 That the
00:21:12.700 public,
00:21:13.920 not everybody,
00:21:15.000 but the
00:21:15.240 public,
00:21:16.140 I'd say the
00:21:16.900 consensus is
00:21:17.880 clearly on the
00:21:18.720 side of
00:21:19.240 opening up
00:21:20.400 sooner than
00:21:20.940 later.
00:21:21.820 Would you
00:21:22.220 agree with
00:21:22.580 that?
00:21:23.300 I could be
00:21:23.700 wrong about
00:21:24.140 that, but
00:21:24.500 I think
00:21:24.740 that's true.
00:21:26.260 I see
00:21:26.560 one wrong.
00:21:29.360 But if
00:21:31.120 the public
00:21:31.580 were sure
00:21:32.420 that
00:21:32.860 they were
00:21:33.760 safe enough,
00:21:34.700 I'm pretty
00:21:35.140 sure that
00:21:35.540 they'd all
00:21:35.880 be on
00:21:36.460 that side.
00:21:37.660 Now,
00:21:37.980 here's the
00:21:38.300 problem.
00:21:39.400 You've got
00:21:39.780 a government
00:21:40.260 who has to
00:21:40.840 manage toward
00:21:41.800 minimizing
00:21:42.800 death, but
00:21:44.260 you've got a
00:21:44.740 public who
00:21:45.640 doesn't have
00:21:46.140 that same
00:21:46.860 single-minded
00:21:48.560 focus.
00:21:49.800 The public
00:21:50.260 wants to
00:21:50.760 live a life
00:21:51.400 that they
00:21:51.760 know has a
00:21:52.340 certain amount
00:21:52.740 of risks,
00:21:53.660 and once
00:21:54.160 they've been
00:21:54.520 informed,
00:21:55.600 and once
00:21:56.040 they've been
00:21:56.340 given some
00:21:56.940 reasonable tools
00:21:57.940 to deal with
00:21:58.480 the risk,
00:21:58.960 which we
00:21:59.300 have now,
00:21:59.740 the public
00:22:01.560 just doesn't
00:22:02.920 have the
00:22:03.200 same
00:22:03.420 objective.
00:22:04.620 Our
00:22:04.880 objective is
00:22:05.520 to get
00:22:05.780 out there
00:22:06.100 and live,
00:22:07.220 take some
00:22:07.660 chances.
00:22:08.940 The government's
00:22:09.620 objective is
00:22:10.220 to minimize
00:22:10.600 death.
00:22:11.160 They're just
00:22:11.380 not compatible.
00:22:13.320 And so I
00:22:13.980 submit to you
00:22:14.660 that the
00:22:15.080 public needs
00:22:15.740 an advocate,
00:22:17.580 actually somebody
00:22:18.540 whose job it
00:22:19.320 is, I don't
00:22:20.600 know how they
00:22:21.040 would ever be
00:22:21.640 appointed or
00:22:23.340 self-appointed
00:22:24.300 or something,
00:22:25.940 so that
00:22:26.700 somebody can
00:22:27.460 negotiate directly
00:22:28.820 with the
00:22:29.200 government,
00:22:30.200 because the
00:22:30.760 government are
00:22:31.300 not our
00:22:31.800 representatives on
00:22:32.940 this specific
00:22:33.700 question.
00:22:34.960 The government
00:22:35.440 are our
00:22:36.020 representatives on
00:22:36.960 basically everything
00:22:38.300 else.
00:22:39.260 It's just a weird
00:22:39.940 situation where
00:22:41.360 we should not
00:22:42.740 expect that they
00:22:44.720 would represent
00:22:45.300 us, because
00:22:47.420 they have
00:22:48.620 different objectives.
00:22:50.260 Now, that's
00:22:50.640 not their fault,
00:22:51.800 is it?
00:22:53.280 People manage
00:22:54.700 to their
00:22:55.060 incentives.
00:22:56.800 You can't
00:22:57.360 change that.
00:22:57.880 People manage
00:22:59.240 to their
00:23:01.000 own risk
00:23:01.740 management.
00:23:02.920 And the
00:23:03.180 politicians have
00:23:04.040 to manage for
00:23:04.740 the minimizing
00:23:06.000 death, and the
00:23:07.700 public doesn't.
00:23:09.300 So we need an
00:23:10.260 advocate.
00:23:11.680 Now, I don't
00:23:13.800 know I would be
00:23:14.340 the right choice
00:23:14.900 for that, but
00:23:15.840 there should be
00:23:16.420 somebody who at
00:23:17.440 least has something
00:23:19.040 like my skill
00:23:19.900 set, maybe more
00:23:21.400 credibility in a
00:23:22.600 variety of ways,
00:23:23.880 but something like
00:23:24.740 that.
00:23:25.700 We just need
00:23:26.240 somebody to speak
00:23:26.940 for the people,
00:23:27.620 because the
00:23:28.020 government can't
00:23:28.680 do that right
00:23:29.140 now.
00:23:30.720 All right.
00:23:32.580 There's a new
00:23:33.280 technology that
00:23:34.740 looks promising
00:23:35.680 that will allow
00:23:37.620 you to get a
00:23:38.120 vaccination without
00:23:39.020 a needle.
00:23:40.340 So there's a
00:23:41.180 little device that
00:23:42.360 blows focused
00:23:43.700 air into your
00:23:45.500 arm or whatever,
00:23:47.200 and somehow that
00:23:48.840 air can inject
00:23:50.380 enough of the
00:23:51.380 vaccination that
00:23:53.140 you don't need an
00:23:53.740 actual needle.
00:23:55.880 And as others
00:23:57.580 have observed,
00:23:59.640 we humans are
00:24:01.380 rationalizers, we're
00:24:02.720 not really rational
00:24:03.580 people.
00:24:04.600 And I do suspect
00:24:05.460 that, I'm just
00:24:07.480 going to throw a
00:24:08.480 wild-ass number
00:24:09.340 out, this has no
00:24:10.440 data or anything,
00:24:11.360 it's just based on
00:24:12.100 living in the
00:24:13.360 world.
00:24:14.020 I would bet
00:24:14.920 you, I will bet
00:24:16.940 you that of the
00:24:18.080 vaccine resistors,
00:24:20.080 25% of them are,
00:24:22.260 it's about the
00:24:22.920 needle.
00:24:23.960 They won't say
00:24:24.840 that necessarily.
00:24:26.160 They might make
00:24:26.740 an argument for
00:24:27.520 risk management,
00:24:28.720 et cetera.
00:24:29.420 But I feel like
00:24:30.080 at least 25%
00:24:31.600 have a needle
00:24:33.340 fear that has
00:24:34.480 influenced them to
00:24:35.420 think they have
00:24:35.980 some other reason.
00:24:37.420 That would be
00:24:37.920 normal, by the
00:24:38.780 way.
00:24:39.600 That would just
00:24:40.080 be how a normal
00:24:41.160 brain would work.
00:24:42.240 You would
00:24:42.720 rationalize that
00:24:43.440 stuff and make
00:24:44.480 it think that
00:24:45.000 you're making a
00:24:45.660 rational decision.
00:24:48.040 Air bubbles and
00:24:48.800 veins, I don't
00:24:49.420 know, I guess they
00:24:50.020 figured that out
00:24:50.640 somehow.
00:24:50.940 It's not like
00:24:52.680 they're shooting
00:24:53.120 into a vein.
00:24:54.260 It looks like
00:24:54.660 they're shooting
00:24:55.100 into your skin
00:24:56.580 somehow.
00:25:00.580 That's way too
00:25:01.320 high, Scott.
00:25:02.140 What would you
00:25:02.720 say, 10%?
00:25:04.100 10% maybe just
00:25:06.140 have fear of
00:25:06.660 needles.
00:25:07.160 Fear of needles
00:25:07.860 is a big thing.
00:25:10.380 Somebody says
00:25:10.900 2%?
00:25:11.720 Maybe.
00:25:12.800 I don't know.
00:25:13.400 But for some
00:25:14.020 people who
00:25:14.500 actually maybe
00:25:15.400 would want the
00:25:16.420 vaccination but
00:25:17.580 are afraid of the
00:25:19.180 needles, that might
00:25:19.780 make a difference
00:25:20.340 to them.
00:25:21.120 Again, I'm not
00:25:21.980 recommending you
00:25:22.700 get vaccinated.
00:25:24.360 Let me say that
00:25:25.240 as often as I
00:25:25.980 need to.
00:25:27.080 I'll give you the
00:25:27.880 pros and cons as
00:25:29.340 they develop.
00:25:30.980 So this is on
00:25:31.640 the pro side.
00:25:33.920 But it doesn't
00:25:34.540 mean you should
00:25:34.880 do it.
00:25:36.580 It just means
00:25:37.360 that there's lots
00:25:37.880 of pros and
00:25:38.380 cons and maybe
00:25:39.660 you should be
00:25:40.040 aware of them
00:25:40.460 all and then
00:25:41.420 make your own
00:25:41.960 decision.
00:25:45.960 All right.
00:25:47.920 Let's see what
00:25:48.520 else is going
00:25:48.980 on.
00:25:49.800 Here's the
00:25:50.380 name of that
00:25:50.840 company that's
00:25:51.360 making that air
00:25:53.300 vaccination thing
00:25:54.480 that just blows
00:25:55.200 air into you.
00:25:56.440 It's Diosynvax.
00:25:59.260 D-I-O-S-Y-N
00:26:01.900 like synthetic
00:26:03.360 vax.
00:26:05.440 And let me
00:26:06.620 give you some
00:26:07.200 advice.
00:26:08.420 I'm going to
00:26:09.000 give some
00:26:09.320 corporate advice
00:26:10.120 here to this
00:26:11.520 company.
00:26:12.860 So you can
00:26:13.640 just watch.
00:26:14.240 but this is
00:26:16.160 intended for
00:26:17.480 the CEO
00:26:18.340 of Diosynvax.
00:26:21.880 If you're
00:26:22.520 trying to make
00:26:23.100 a device to
00:26:24.840 get the people
00:26:26.560 who don't want
00:26:27.360 vaccinations,
00:26:29.480 a lot of them
00:26:30.520 would be
00:26:30.840 Christian.
00:26:32.180 You don't
00:26:32.860 want to name
00:26:33.560 your company
00:26:34.280 Diosynvax.
00:26:38.820 Because dying
00:26:39.700 is bad, sin
00:26:40.480 is bad, and
00:26:41.400 some people are
00:26:42.760 already anti-vax.
00:26:44.240 So Diosynvax
00:26:45.940 looks like
00:26:47.440 I hope they
00:26:49.380 didn't pay a
00:26:50.200 consultant for
00:26:50.840 that name.
00:26:51.940 You know,
00:26:52.120 there's sometimes
00:26:52.540 a consultant
00:26:53.160 will do that.
00:26:54.380 They should
00:26:54.960 pay a cartoonist
00:26:55.920 to check out
00:26:57.800 company names.
00:26:59.240 Because you know
00:26:59.740 what cartoonists
00:27:00.500 do really well?
00:27:02.680 Mock things.
00:27:05.320 We're really
00:27:06.020 good at that.
00:27:07.060 A lot of
00:27:07.500 practice.
00:27:08.680 So show me
00:27:09.480 your corporate
00:27:09.960 name and I
00:27:10.560 will tell you
00:27:11.020 exactly how I
00:27:11.940 will mock it.
00:27:12.760 And Diosynvax,
00:27:16.100 that's just
00:27:17.360 asking for it.
00:27:19.080 How many of
00:27:20.040 you believe
00:27:20.680 that Pfizer's
00:27:22.240 documents,
00:27:22.940 their own
00:27:23.420 documents,
00:27:24.640 show vastly
00:27:25.600 more vaccine-related
00:27:27.940 deaths than
00:27:29.980 you have been
00:27:30.580 told publicly?
00:27:32.320 How many of
00:27:33.360 you believe
00:27:33.960 that that's
00:27:34.580 in the news
00:27:35.820 and that
00:27:36.220 that's real?
00:27:38.440 That it's
00:27:39.120 actually just
00:27:39.700 news?
00:27:40.360 not a rumor,
00:27:42.220 but it's just
00:27:42.620 news.
00:27:43.760 How many of you
00:27:44.560 think it's a fact
00:27:45.500 that we now
00:27:46.900 know that
00:27:47.780 Pfizer's own
00:27:48.540 data shows
00:27:49.800 that vaccinations
00:27:50.700 are killing
00:27:52.260 way more
00:27:53.120 people than
00:27:54.800 had been
00:27:56.580 reported before?
00:27:57.420 How many
00:27:57.640 think that's
00:27:58.080 a fact?
00:27:58.560 jet air
00:28:01.340 injectors for
00:28:02.400 vaccines have
00:28:03.100 been around
00:28:03.540 since at
00:28:04.000 least the
00:28:04.340 50s,
00:28:05.000 Michael says.
00:28:06.720 Huh.
00:28:08.200 All right.
00:28:10.580 Well, here's
00:28:11.500 what Andres
00:28:12.440 Backhouse points
00:28:13.420 out, and I
00:28:14.480 always refer to
00:28:15.240 him as my
00:28:16.020 best source of
00:28:18.300 analyzing what
00:28:19.740 is and isn't
00:28:20.720 credible when it
00:28:21.680 comes to data.
00:28:23.000 He's really,
00:28:23.940 really good at it,
00:28:24.780 so that's why you
00:28:25.600 should follow
00:28:26.020 him, Andres
00:28:27.240 Backhouse.
00:28:29.080 And he took
00:28:31.240 a run at
00:28:31.660 Jordan Peterson
00:28:32.300 because Jordan
00:28:33.420 Peterson tweeted
00:28:35.340 that information
00:28:36.820 about all of
00:28:37.760 the deaths
00:28:38.740 with the
00:28:39.200 Pfizer vaccine,
00:28:41.000 according to
00:28:41.480 Pfizer's own
00:28:42.400 data.
00:28:43.560 But as Andres
00:28:44.720 points out,
00:28:45.880 that if you
00:28:46.440 actually read
00:28:47.320 the details of
00:28:48.760 it, it says
00:28:50.020 very clearly
00:28:50.660 that the deaths
00:28:51.440 are not
00:28:52.000 attributed to
00:28:53.120 the vaccination.
00:28:53.820 that's a
00:28:56.160 pretty big
00:28:56.480 difference.
00:28:57.840 Yes, there
00:28:58.240 were a lot
00:28:58.640 of deaths
00:28:59.180 because lots
00:29:02.740 and lots of
00:29:03.160 people got the
00:29:03.660 vaccination, and
00:29:05.240 there were a
00:29:05.560 lot of deaths,
00:29:07.100 but a huge
00:29:08.300 number of them
00:29:08.980 actually had
00:29:09.560 COVID at the
00:29:10.220 same time they
00:29:10.760 died.
00:29:11.860 They got the
00:29:12.420 vaccination, but
00:29:14.460 also got COVID,
00:29:15.720 either it was
00:29:16.300 after the first
00:29:17.940 vaccination or the
00:29:18.740 second.
00:29:19.440 So at the
00:29:20.260 very least, you
00:29:20.940 would have to
00:29:21.440 put a question
00:29:22.280 mark next to
00:29:22.940 the people who
00:29:23.400 died with
00:29:24.600 COVID, because
00:29:27.060 we know that
00:29:27.600 kills you.
00:29:28.800 How do you
00:29:29.140 know it was
00:29:29.440 the COVID and
00:29:30.060 not the
00:29:30.340 vaccination, or
00:29:31.400 the vaccinations
00:29:32.040 and not the
00:29:32.520 COVID?
00:29:33.220 We don't,
00:29:34.520 right?
00:29:35.300 So the point
00:29:36.100 is that these
00:29:37.320 big numbers are
00:29:38.080 simply the people
00:29:38.820 we know died.
00:29:40.360 It's not the
00:29:40.920 people we know
00:29:41.420 died because of
00:29:42.640 the vaccination.
00:29:44.420 If a lot of
00:29:45.140 them actually had
00:29:45.900 COVID, that's
00:29:47.740 pretty
00:29:48.640 questionable.
00:29:50.360 Now, am I
00:29:52.500 telling you that
00:29:53.120 these vaccinations
00:29:53.900 are safe?
00:29:54.720 No.
00:29:55.820 No.
00:29:56.940 Don't hear that.
00:29:58.420 Remember, this is
00:29:59.180 not the show that
00:29:59.980 goes binary.
00:30:01.500 Things are not
00:30:02.020 all good or
00:30:03.020 all bad.
00:30:04.300 Sometimes things
00:30:05.100 can be a little
00:30:05.800 good and a little
00:30:06.360 bit bad.
00:30:07.500 That's the theme
00:30:08.580 of this live
00:30:09.860 stream anyway.
00:30:11.260 And you
00:30:12.760 should not
00:30:13.380 believe that
00:30:14.300 these numbers
00:30:14.960 display an
00:30:16.900 actual number
00:30:17.600 of deaths.
00:30:18.040 deaths.
00:30:19.140 It could
00:30:19.840 be, but
00:30:21.220 it's unlikely.
00:30:22.940 It's unlikely.
00:30:24.980 It's very
00:30:25.680 unlikely, like
00:30:26.500 deeply unlikely.
00:30:28.020 As in, if you
00:30:29.300 had to bet your
00:30:29.860 own money against
00:30:30.580 it, you should
00:30:31.020 definitely bet
00:30:31.640 against it.
00:30:33.580 So, who
00:30:35.080 knows?
00:30:36.300 Who knows?
00:30:37.120 But don't
00:30:37.620 believe that this
00:30:38.280 data has been
00:30:38.960 proven in some
00:30:39.780 kind of a fact
00:30:40.500 and that the
00:30:41.160 numbers are
00:30:41.600 giant.
00:30:42.260 That's just
00:30:42.700 not the case.
00:30:43.760 All right.
00:30:45.320 Let's talk
00:30:46.040 about Dr.
00:30:46.900 Peter McCullough.
00:30:48.340 Who was on
00:30:49.720 Joe Rogan's
00:30:50.320 show.
00:30:50.720 I think he's
00:30:51.020 been on Fox.
00:30:51.960 He's been on
00:30:52.340 Laura Ingraham's
00:30:52.960 show.
00:30:53.880 And he's one of
00:30:55.080 the doctors who
00:30:55.800 has a, let's
00:30:56.560 say, a
00:30:56.800 contrarian view
00:30:57.800 about some
00:30:59.580 pandemic-y,
00:31:00.680 vaccination-y
00:31:01.420 stuff.
00:31:03.820 How many of
00:31:04.660 you are familiar
00:31:05.300 with Dr.
00:31:06.380 McCullough and
00:31:08.200 would find him
00:31:09.480 a credible
00:31:10.360 voice?
00:31:11.580 Go.
00:31:13.180 How many
00:31:13.860 find him
00:31:14.340 credible and
00:31:15.820 are familiar
00:31:16.280 with him?
00:31:16.660 On the
00:31:18.000 locals, we're
00:31:18.800 seeing just a
00:31:19.580 wall of
00:31:20.140 yeses.
00:31:21.460 One maybe,
00:31:22.220 don't know.
00:31:23.580 But yes,
00:31:24.120 yes, yes,
00:31:24.620 very credible.
00:31:26.140 Over on
00:31:27.160 YouTube, I'm
00:31:28.860 seeing yes,
00:31:29.620 yes, yes,
00:31:30.340 yes, yes,
00:31:30.780 yes, yes.
00:31:31.620 One no.
00:31:33.640 Talk to your
00:31:34.280 individual doctor,
00:31:35.340 good advice.
00:31:37.040 I mean, how do
00:31:38.260 you know your
00:31:38.640 individual doctor is
00:31:39.540 the smart one?
00:31:41.260 Very.
00:31:41.760 All right.
00:31:42.220 So almost
00:31:43.100 universally, you
00:31:43.960 would consider
00:31:44.420 him credible.
00:31:46.160 All right.
00:31:47.680 Good.
00:31:49.200 Excellent.
00:31:50.760 I was hoping
00:31:51.520 you'd say that.
00:31:53.000 Because here is
00:31:53.980 the part where
00:31:55.300 things get
00:31:55.820 interesting.
00:31:57.100 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:32:01.220 Okay.
00:32:02.820 Here's my opinion
00:32:03.920 about his
00:32:05.060 credibility.
00:32:05.680 I don't know.
00:32:09.000 I don't know.
00:32:09.460 How would I
00:32:10.440 know?
00:32:11.940 Like, if he
00:32:12.840 says a bunch of
00:32:13.460 doctory, smart
00:32:14.600 sounding things,
00:32:15.380 how would I
00:32:15.720 know if it's
00:32:16.140 true?
00:32:17.780 No, I have
00:32:18.380 no way to
00:32:18.780 know.
00:32:19.860 I could check
00:32:20.700 his facts, as
00:32:21.460 people said,
00:32:22.420 but what have
00:32:23.160 I told you
00:32:23.580 about doing
00:32:24.340 your own
00:32:24.680 research?
00:32:26.220 Does that
00:32:26.760 work?
00:32:27.720 I've never
00:32:28.300 seen it work.
00:32:29.420 It never
00:32:29.820 works.
00:32:30.580 Do you know
00:32:30.940 when it works?
00:32:32.400 I'll tell you
00:32:32.900 when do your
00:32:33.540 own research
00:32:34.160 works.
00:32:34.700 It's a very
00:32:35.100 limited, very
00:32:36.660 limited situation.
00:32:37.620 doing your
00:32:39.480 own research
00:32:40.020 works if
00:32:41.120 your name
00:32:41.540 is Andres
00:32:42.700 Backhaus and
00:32:43.420 you have a
00:32:43.740 PhD in
00:32:44.320 economics.
00:32:47.000 If that's
00:32:47.740 the case
00:32:48.160 for you,
00:32:49.600 do your
00:32:50.060 own research.
00:32:50.780 Probably
00:32:51.040 tell you
00:32:51.380 something you
00:32:51.820 didn't know.
00:32:53.100 But for the
00:32:53.840 rest of us,
00:32:54.480 and I include
00:32:54.960 myself in
00:32:55.540 this category,
00:32:56.720 no, we
00:32:57.380 can't do
00:32:57.680 our own
00:32:58.000 research.
00:32:59.200 That's
00:32:59.640 ridiculous.
00:33:00.680 We'll just
00:33:01.120 confuse
00:33:01.520 ourselves.
00:33:02.540 We'll just
00:33:03.080 find the
00:33:03.480 things that
00:33:03.840 agree with
00:33:04.280 us and
00:33:04.660 come out of
00:33:05.660 the well
00:33:06.320 thinking we
00:33:06.900 proved it.
00:33:07.900 It's just a
00:33:08.660 confirmation
00:33:09.040 bias thing.
00:33:11.580 So many
00:33:11.940 of you
00:33:12.220 said,
00:33:12.680 Scott,
00:33:12.980 Scott,
00:33:13.240 Scott,
00:33:13.820 you are
00:33:14.520 showing some
00:33:15.680 doubt about
00:33:17.140 this doctor,
00:33:18.160 but you
00:33:19.280 didn't do
00:33:19.640 your own
00:33:19.960 research,
00:33:20.500 and you
00:33:20.800 didn't even
00:33:21.220 listen to
00:33:21.720 him.
00:33:22.940 And both
00:33:23.600 of those
00:33:23.920 things are
00:33:24.260 true.
00:33:25.060 I listened
00:33:25.520 to clips,
00:33:26.240 but I
00:33:26.460 didn't listen
00:33:26.840 to his
00:33:27.140 whole thing.
00:33:28.440 So can
00:33:28.940 I be
00:33:29.260 confident
00:33:29.740 about his
00:33:31.600 credibility if
00:33:32.460 I haven't
00:33:32.880 listened to
00:33:33.280 his whole
00:33:33.620 thing?
00:33:34.160 I've only
00:33:34.660 listened to
00:33:35.060 a little
00:33:35.300 bit.
00:33:35.520 And I'm
00:33:38.300 not an
00:33:38.580 expert.
00:33:39.200 And I
00:33:39.500 haven't done
00:33:39.900 my own
00:33:40.200 research.
00:33:42.280 How confident
00:33:43.440 can I be
00:33:44.100 in my
00:33:44.840 opinion?
00:33:45.940 What do
00:33:46.260 you think?
00:33:47.520 Well,
00:33:48.200 let me poke
00:33:50.440 at it from a
00:33:51.160 few different
00:33:52.260 angles and
00:33:53.400 find out which
00:33:54.840 parts of this
00:33:55.480 you would
00:33:55.760 disagree with.
00:33:56.380 number one.
00:33:59.620 This is what
00:34:00.340 I call a
00:34:00.940 category
00:34:01.440 problem.
00:34:03.620 If you
00:34:04.160 tried to
00:34:04.540 figure out
00:34:04.900 what's true
00:34:05.440 or not,
00:34:06.060 the first
00:34:06.620 thing I
00:34:06.980 do is
00:34:07.420 say,
00:34:07.680 what category
00:34:08.380 is it?
00:34:09.440 I'll give
00:34:09.780 you an
00:34:09.980 example.
00:34:11.300 Your
00:34:11.540 neighbor
00:34:11.840 says he
00:34:13.280 saw a
00:34:13.880 UFO and
00:34:15.260 it abducted
00:34:16.000 his family
00:34:16.500 and took
00:34:16.960 him away
00:34:17.340 and then
00:34:17.740 returned
00:34:18.100 them intact
00:34:18.760 the next
00:34:19.220 day.
00:34:19.480 That's a
00:34:21.240 category that
00:34:22.780 you can
00:34:23.120 reasonably
00:34:23.580 assume most
00:34:25.220 of the
00:34:25.420 things in
00:34:25.820 it are not
00:34:26.240 true.
00:34:27.600 Does it
00:34:28.100 mean that
00:34:28.900 your neighbor
00:34:29.300 was not
00:34:30.000 abducted by
00:34:31.060 an alien?
00:34:31.740 Nope.
00:34:32.680 Nope.
00:34:33.440 Does not
00:34:33.960 mean that.
00:34:35.040 This might
00:34:35.520 be the one
00:34:35.980 time it's
00:34:36.380 true.
00:34:38.440 But your
00:34:39.760 starting point
00:34:40.740 if you hear
00:34:41.700 somebody was
00:34:42.280 abducted by
00:34:42.920 an alien is
00:34:43.640 I'm going
00:34:45.080 to say 95%
00:34:46.360 chance that
00:34:47.020 didn't happen.
00:34:48.420 How often
00:34:49.220 would you
00:34:49.560 be right
00:34:50.060 if you
00:34:51.280 just went
00:34:51.660 into it
00:34:52.020 with a
00:34:52.320 95%
00:34:53.620 chance that
00:34:54.200 did not
00:34:54.620 happen?
00:34:55.480 Well so
00:34:55.940 far you'd
00:34:56.340 be right
00:34:56.680 every time.
00:34:58.080 Every time.
00:34:59.960 How about
00:35:00.700 if you
00:35:01.220 heard that
00:35:01.580 your neighbor
00:35:02.140 had built
00:35:03.880 a fusion
00:35:05.280 reactor in
00:35:06.780 his garage
00:35:07.700 which is
00:35:08.980 by the way
00:35:09.580 actually things
00:35:10.340 that have
00:35:10.600 happened.
00:35:11.380 I think
00:35:11.600 somebody
00:35:11.900 actually did
00:35:12.400 build a
00:35:12.800 I think
00:35:13.680 more than
00:35:14.140 once
00:35:14.560 somebody
00:35:15.580 thinks they
00:35:16.280 built a
00:35:16.860 fusion reactor
00:35:17.920 in their
00:35:18.280 garage.
00:35:19.220 that category
00:35:21.240 how often
00:35:22.580 is that
00:35:22.940 category
00:35:23.680 turning out
00:35:24.460 to be
00:35:24.740 true?
00:35:25.200 Well zero
00:35:25.740 so far
00:35:26.460 but there
00:35:28.420 might actually
00:35:29.160 someday be
00:35:30.100 somebody who
00:35:30.700 made a
00:35:31.000 fusion reactor
00:35:31.680 in their
00:35:32.000 garage.
00:35:33.420 Could happen.
00:35:34.820 How about
00:35:35.120 the inventor
00:35:36.260 who invented
00:35:37.000 a cure
00:35:38.640 for cancer
00:35:39.200 and it's
00:35:41.260 going to
00:35:41.700 trial and
00:35:42.800 man does it
00:35:43.440 look good.
00:35:44.360 It worked
00:35:44.800 on the
00:35:45.060 animals,
00:35:45.620 it worked
00:35:45.880 on the
00:35:46.160 test do.
00:35:46.580 it's
00:35:47.200 going to
00:35:47.460 cure
00:35:47.760 most
00:35:48.620 cancers.
00:35:50.780 That's a
00:35:51.560 category.
00:35:53.360 How often
00:35:53.940 does an
00:35:54.680 individual
00:35:55.240 claim in
00:35:57.000 the cancer
00:35:57.600 curing
00:35:58.160 category
00:35:58.700 turn out
00:35:59.200 to be
00:35:59.520 true?
00:36:03.640 Rarely.
00:36:05.240 5%.
00:36:05.840 Now we
00:36:06.720 get to
00:36:07.000 keep all
00:36:07.360 the 5%
00:36:07.980 that are
00:36:08.400 true and
00:36:09.640 so actually
00:36:10.360 cancer cures
00:36:11.600 are building
00:36:12.100 up and
00:36:12.480 actually getting
00:36:13.500 pretty substantial
00:36:14.580 at this
00:36:14.880 point.
00:36:15.460 But they're
00:36:15.840 all the
00:36:16.160 exceptions.
00:36:17.660 It's just
00:36:18.080 that the
00:36:18.340 exceptions we
00:36:18.960 keep, we
00:36:19.940 sort of forget
00:36:20.480 about the
00:36:20.880 ones that
00:36:21.220 didn't work.
00:36:22.660 So those
00:36:23.480 are three
00:36:23.880 categories and
00:36:24.640 there are
00:36:24.840 lots more
00:36:25.460 where as
00:36:26.500 soon as you
00:36:26.880 hear the
00:36:27.200 category,
00:36:28.560 your brain
00:36:29.120 should
00:36:29.440 automatically
00:36:30.240 go into
00:36:30.800 the probably
00:36:32.140 not mode.
00:36:34.100 But still,
00:36:35.660 it could be
00:36:36.200 the 5%.
00:36:37.100 Right?
00:36:38.780 Somebody said
00:36:39.500 to me,
00:36:39.960 Scott,
00:36:41.080 wouldn't that
00:36:41.620 describe you
00:36:42.640 in 2016?
00:36:44.580 Weren't you
00:36:45.260 in the
00:36:45.600 5% who
00:36:47.120 said Trump
00:36:47.620 was going
00:36:47.980 to win
00:36:48.260 that election
00:36:48.940 even though
00:36:50.420 almost all
00:36:51.560 the experts
00:36:52.140 said no?
00:36:53.420 So Scott,
00:36:54.220 aren't you
00:36:54.520 being a
00:36:54.860 hypocrite?
00:36:55.760 Because you
00:36:56.140 are exactly
00:36:56.780 what you
00:36:57.660 describe as
00:36:58.380 non-credible.
00:36:59.700 To which I
00:37:00.360 say,
00:37:01.400 good point.
00:37:04.000 Exactly.
00:37:05.720 If you
00:37:06.400 believed me
00:37:07.160 in 2016,
00:37:09.060 you might
00:37:09.760 have made
00:37:10.060 a bad
00:37:10.400 decision.
00:37:10.860 I
00:37:11.000 don't
00:37:11.060 know.
00:37:11.140 I
00:37:13.000 don't
00:37:13.140 because I
00:37:15.180 was a
00:37:15.500 category
00:37:16.060 that should
00:37:17.440 have been
00:37:17.680 wrong
00:37:18.080 95%
00:37:19.400 of the
00:37:19.620 time.
00:37:21.440 But
00:37:21.960 my 5%
00:37:23.900 came through.
00:37:25.240 Now,
00:37:25.520 I think
00:37:26.000 it's true
00:37:26.460 because I
00:37:27.680 could see
00:37:28.020 I had
00:37:29.340 some extra
00:37:30.620 information.
00:37:32.360 So it
00:37:32.860 wasn't so
00:37:33.320 much that
00:37:34.620 I was a
00:37:35.480 rogue.
00:37:36.280 I just
00:37:36.820 had the
00:37:37.100 information
00:37:37.500 you didn't
00:37:37.920 have.
00:37:38.220 If you
00:37:38.820 had trained
00:37:39.260 as a
00:37:39.920 persuader
00:37:40.420 and other
00:37:41.760 people who
00:37:42.240 had also
00:37:42.600 had that
00:37:42.940 training
00:37:43.240 could see
00:37:43.740 it too.
00:37:44.620 So that
00:37:44.960 was the
00:37:45.220 special case.
00:37:46.320 But I
00:37:46.860 agree totally
00:37:47.560 that if you
00:37:48.900 were going
00:37:49.120 to bet
00:37:49.380 money on
00:37:50.000 it,
00:37:51.060 the smart
00:37:51.640 money was
00:37:52.080 betting
00:37:52.300 against me.
00:37:54.080 You get
00:37:54.680 that,
00:37:54.940 right?
00:37:55.860 I got that
00:37:56.620 one right,
00:37:57.200 but the smart
00:37:57.820 money would
00:37:58.240 have bet
00:37:58.460 against me.
00:37:59.020 And even
00:37:59.320 I would
00:37:59.660 have bet
00:37:59.840 against me.
00:38:01.100 If I
00:38:01.560 were looking
00:38:01.960 at me
00:38:02.240 from the
00:38:02.520 outside,
00:38:02.980 I would
00:38:03.160 have bet
00:38:03.340 against me
00:38:03.920 because I
00:38:04.580 was a
00:38:04.860 category
00:38:05.240 that's
00:38:05.580 usually
00:38:05.820 wrong.
00:38:07.500 All
00:38:07.620 right.
00:38:07.760 So I
00:38:08.940 say also
00:38:09.560 that the
00:38:10.100 rogue
00:38:10.480 doctor
00:38:11.060 category,
00:38:12.180 the doctor
00:38:13.340 who is
00:38:13.780 saying
00:38:13.980 things
00:38:14.380 that are
00:38:14.620 quite
00:38:14.960 different
00:38:15.360 than the
00:38:15.800 mainstream,
00:38:16.900 is a
00:38:17.620 category
00:38:18.080 that is
00:38:18.720 95%
00:38:19.620 wrong.
00:38:21.080 So if
00:38:21.320 you're going
00:38:21.560 to bet,
00:38:22.700 bet against
00:38:23.300 it every
00:38:23.720 time.
00:38:24.720 5% of
00:38:25.500 the time
00:38:25.660 you'll
00:38:25.860 lose your
00:38:26.140 bet.
00:38:27.500 Now,
00:38:28.100 is Dr.
00:38:29.800 McAuliffe
00:38:30.320 in the
00:38:31.380 5%
00:38:32.160 or the
00:38:32.660 95%?
00:38:34.600 I don't
00:38:35.360 know.
00:38:36.820 I don't
00:38:37.180 know.
00:38:38.140 How would
00:38:38.820 I know?
00:38:40.180 How do
00:38:40.760 you know?
00:38:42.380 How could
00:38:42.780 anybody know?
00:38:44.420 It's
00:38:44.680 unknowable.
00:38:45.940 I'll tell
00:38:46.300 you what
00:38:46.600 people said
00:38:47.300 to me.
00:38:47.600 They said,
00:38:48.460 Scott,
00:38:48.820 Scott,
00:38:48.980 Scott,
00:38:49.260 listen to
00:38:49.720 the whole
00:38:50.180 thing.
00:38:51.280 If you
00:38:51.640 listen to
00:38:52.040 the whole
00:38:52.460 thing,
00:38:52.960 it's way
00:38:53.480 more
00:38:53.700 credible.
00:38:55.860 Do I
00:38:56.520 agree?
00:38:57.920 Absolutely.
00:38:59.300 If you
00:38:59.940 listen to
00:39:00.380 the entire
00:39:01.040 presentation
00:39:01.680 of anybody
00:39:02.380 who's
00:39:02.820 wrong,
00:39:03.660 it will
00:39:04.260 look really
00:39:04.760 credible by
00:39:05.440 the time
00:39:05.720 you're done.
00:39:06.740 Also,
00:39:07.160 anybody
00:39:07.520 who's
00:39:07.780 right.
00:39:09.300 Those
00:39:09.740 two will
00:39:10.140 look the
00:39:10.480 same to
00:39:10.820 you because
00:39:12.120 you can't
00:39:12.740 really judge
00:39:13.540 this rogue
00:39:14.960 doctor.
00:39:16.160 If he
00:39:16.720 makes a
00:39:17.220 claim,
00:39:17.540 I'm not
00:39:17.820 going to
00:39:17.960 look it
00:39:18.240 up.
00:39:19.020 I mean,
00:39:19.220 I could,
00:39:20.000 but I'm
00:39:20.300 not.
00:39:21.500 So,
00:39:22.160 be very,
00:39:23.420 very careful.
00:39:23.960 credible.
00:39:24.660 Now,
00:39:25.180 let me give
00:39:26.040 you a
00:39:26.360 couple of
00:39:26.800 hints that
00:39:27.960 are by
00:39:28.300 no means
00:39:29.000 the end
00:39:31.280 of the
00:39:31.540 story.
00:39:32.500 I'll tell
00:39:33.020 you one
00:39:33.320 thing that
00:39:33.720 is biasing
00:39:34.320 me terribly,
00:39:35.900 and I'm
00:39:36.420 going to
00:39:36.560 give you a
00:39:36.920 little persuasion
00:39:37.940 lesson here.
00:39:38.600 Now,
00:39:39.660 I want to be
00:39:40.020 clear,
00:39:41.200 and this is a
00:39:42.140 very subtle
00:39:42.680 point,
00:39:43.080 but it's so
00:39:43.440 important.
00:39:45.300 This doesn't
00:39:46.200 mean he's
00:39:46.940 not credible.
00:39:47.820 I'm going to
00:39:48.220 play you a
00:39:49.220 clip of Dr.
00:39:50.060 McCullough's
00:39:50.640 voice.
00:39:52.480 I'm going to
00:39:52.840 put it in
00:39:53.200 the context
00:39:53.740 of persuasion,
00:39:55.260 and I'm going
00:39:55.640 to tell you
00:39:56.040 that the
00:39:56.460 voice technique
00:39:58.220 he uses
00:39:59.060 is non-persuasive,
00:40:04.280 but that
00:40:05.280 doesn't mean
00:40:05.740 wrong.
00:40:07.300 Okay,
00:40:07.620 let me be
00:40:08.080 clear.
00:40:08.860 I'm not
00:40:09.220 saying he's
00:40:09.700 wrong.
00:40:10.860 I'm saying
00:40:11.240 he's choosing
00:40:11.880 a style of
00:40:12.600 communication
00:40:13.200 which instantly
00:40:14.900 smacks as
00:40:16.000 non-credible
00:40:16.700 to me.
00:40:18.080 And I've
00:40:18.980 described this
00:40:19.560 before.
00:40:19.880 Did I
00:40:20.660 describe this
00:40:21.240 only on
00:40:21.700 locals,
00:40:22.320 or did I
00:40:22.700 tell the
00:40:23.020 YouTube
00:40:23.240 people to?
00:40:24.720 Have I
00:40:25.320 described the
00:40:26.300 pleading
00:40:26.960 voice?
00:40:28.920 There are
00:40:29.500 two ways
00:40:30.000 to talk
00:40:30.600 when you're
00:40:31.180 persuading.
00:40:32.280 One is the
00:40:32.960 matter-of-fact
00:40:33.660 voice,
00:40:34.840 where you're
00:40:35.220 just laying
00:40:35.660 out the
00:40:35.960 facts,
00:40:36.920 and here
00:40:37.240 they are,
00:40:38.420 nothing to
00:40:39.020 talk about.
00:40:40.800 That's
00:40:41.280 persuasive.
00:40:42.600 But if
00:40:42.980 you're saying
00:40:43.420 this,
00:40:44.620 look at the
00:40:45.460 data,
00:40:46.420 look at the
00:40:46.820 data,
00:40:48.320 that's the
00:40:48.900 pleading
00:40:49.820 voice.
00:40:50.680 That's
00:40:51.180 begging the
00:40:51.900 viewer to
00:40:52.400 believe you
00:40:52.960 because you
00:40:54.220 don't believe
00:40:54.780 yourself.
00:40:56.760 That's why
00:40:57.340 it's non-persuasive.
00:40:58.720 You sound like
00:40:59.700 a person who
00:41:00.300 hasn't convinced
00:41:00.940 themselves.
00:41:02.220 Because why are
00:41:03.000 you talking that
00:41:03.580 way?
00:41:03.840 Now, if you
00:41:05.760 want to see an
00:41:06.240 example of the
00:41:07.020 best persuasive
00:41:08.560 voice, it's
00:41:10.120 just really
00:41:10.620 good.
00:41:11.420 There's a
00:41:12.520 series on
00:41:13.720 Hulu, I
00:41:14.640 think, called
00:41:15.800 Dope Sick.
00:41:17.580 It's the
00:41:18.060 story of
00:41:18.740 Oxycontin and
00:41:21.040 the Purdue
00:41:22.240 company and
00:41:23.140 the Sackler
00:41:23.720 family.
00:41:24.620 Now, I've
00:41:24.900 just watched
00:41:25.300 the first part
00:41:27.500 of it.
00:41:28.200 But there's a
00:41:28.960 scene in there,
00:41:29.620 if you watch
00:41:30.180 that, there's a
00:41:30.940 salesperson who
00:41:32.280 was played by
00:41:33.040 an actor, and
00:41:34.280 then the actor
00:41:34.960 is giving his
00:41:36.000 pitch to a
00:41:36.740 doctor.
00:41:38.660 Listen to
00:41:39.400 that.
00:41:40.720 You want to
00:41:41.520 see how to
00:41:41.960 modulate your
00:41:42.620 voice to be
00:41:44.260 persuasive.
00:41:45.520 I don't know
00:41:46.420 if that was
00:41:46.920 the actor's,
00:41:48.120 what the actor
00:41:48.860 brought to the
00:41:49.460 role, or if
00:41:50.960 it was directed
00:41:51.680 that way or
00:41:52.480 written that way.
00:41:53.400 It's a little
00:41:54.000 unclear.
00:41:54.960 But some
00:41:55.580 combination of
00:41:56.320 the writing and
00:41:56.920 the acting and
00:41:57.520 the directing
00:41:58.020 gives you
00:41:59.280 perfect persuasion
00:42:01.580 voice.
00:42:02.540 Now, when
00:42:03.000 you watch
00:42:03.320 it, don't
00:42:04.340 be fooled by
00:42:04.920 the fact that
00:42:05.420 the actor
00:42:05.780 also has a
00:42:07.740 very pleasant
00:42:08.620 voice, a
00:42:09.840 nice, rich,
00:42:11.660 deep kind of
00:42:12.640 voice that has
00:42:13.440 nothing to do
00:42:14.080 with what I'm
00:42:14.480 talking about.
00:42:16.100 That's not
00:42:16.940 technique.
00:42:17.780 That's just
00:42:18.200 something he
00:42:18.660 was born with.
00:42:20.120 He may have
00:42:20.680 a little
00:42:21.020 technique.
00:42:22.340 But just
00:42:23.060 listen to the
00:42:23.820 matter-of-factness
00:42:25.020 as he lays
00:42:26.460 out the facts,
00:42:27.960 which you find
00:42:29.000 out later, or
00:42:29.900 actually you find
00:42:30.600 out soon, are
00:42:31.400 not facts.
00:42:32.060 But the
00:42:32.960 way that
00:42:33.620 salesperson lays
00:42:35.000 it out, damn,
00:42:36.840 you would think
00:42:37.260 that was true.
00:42:38.280 It is so
00:42:38.940 persuasive.
00:42:40.180 Even knowing
00:42:40.720 it's not true, you
00:42:41.440 think it sounds
00:42:42.040 pretty good.
00:42:43.380 All right?
00:42:43.960 Now compare that
00:42:44.820 with, I'm going to
00:42:45.860 play just a clip,
00:42:47.960 and look for,
00:42:49.600 this is Dr.
00:42:50.740 McAuliffe on
00:42:52.580 Joe Rogan's show.
00:42:54.840 And listen to the
00:42:55.980 voice and see if it
00:42:57.060 sounds like matter-of-fact
00:42:58.240 or pleading with
00:42:59.700 you to believe.
00:43:00.760 These books are
00:43:01.840 basically nonfiction.
00:43:03.640 They have a thousand
00:43:05.060 citations in the
00:43:05.960 Bregan book showing
00:43:06.980 how it was
00:43:07.740 coordinated and
00:43:08.860 planned.
00:43:09.300 Now Bobby Kennedy
00:43:09.940 has his book out,
00:43:10.940 The Real Anthony
00:43:11.680 Fauci, the most
00:43:12.780 mentioned physician
00:43:14.040 in that book.
00:43:14.860 I can tell you that
00:43:16.120 if you want to find
00:43:16.880 the evidence that
00:43:18.120 Moderna was working
00:43:18.860 on the vaccine
00:43:19.520 before the virus
00:43:20.720 ever emanated out
00:43:22.460 of the lab, if you
00:43:23.060 wanted to find the
00:43:23.740 collusions and the
00:43:25.400 operations between
00:43:26.240 the Gates Foundation
00:43:26.900 and Gavi and
00:43:27.560 CEPI and Pfizer
00:43:28.360 and Moderna and
00:43:29.360 the vaccine
00:43:29.700 manufacturers and
00:43:30.580 the Wuhan lab and
00:43:31.700 the National Institutes
00:43:32.360 of Health and
00:43:32.740 Ralph Barrett and
00:43:33.420 University of North
00:43:34.020 Carolina and
00:43:34.540 how all this was
00:43:35.880 organized.
00:43:36.460 If you want to see
00:43:37.040 the Johns Hopkins
00:43:38.000 planning seminar
00:43:38.900 called the Spars
00:43:40.040 pandemic in 2017
00:43:41.720 where they had a
00:43:42.580 symposium, people
00:43:43.220 showed up, they
00:43:44.020 wrote up their
00:43:44.540 symposium findings,
00:43:45.500 they published this,
00:43:46.440 it says it's going
00:43:47.260 to be a coronavirus,
00:43:48.940 it's going to be
00:43:49.660 related to MERS
00:43:50.360 and SARS.
00:43:53.500 Now, again, I
00:43:55.200 have to be really
00:43:56.160 clear.
00:43:57.780 The way he
00:43:58.800 communicates biases
00:44:01.200 me to think that
00:44:02.400 it's not credible.
00:44:04.320 But it could just
00:44:06.180 be a technique
00:44:06.820 problem.
00:44:08.580 You get that,
00:44:09.260 right?
00:44:09.800 It could be,
00:44:12.860 oh, even in the
00:44:14.000 not sped up
00:44:14.740 playback.
00:44:16.100 Yeah, I think
00:44:16.820 mine was sped up.
00:44:18.420 So don't be fooled
00:44:19.440 by the rapidness
00:44:20.900 of his talking.
00:44:21.840 That's not what
00:44:22.360 I'm talking about.
00:44:23.220 I'm talking about
00:44:24.040 the pleading
00:44:25.380 quality.
00:44:25.920 which you could
00:44:27.160 hear it at slow
00:44:27.940 motion the same.
00:44:29.080 It would also
00:44:29.540 sound pleading.
00:44:31.400 But, oh, okay.
00:44:34.880 Somebody's saying,
00:44:35.960 let's see if I can
00:44:36.840 change the speed.
00:44:38.260 I don't know if I
00:44:38.800 have that option on
00:44:39.920 the Twitter playback.
00:44:42.920 It doesn't, I can't
00:44:44.920 do that quickly.
00:44:46.120 But if you'd like to
00:44:46.920 do that yourself,
00:44:47.640 that's a fair, that's
00:44:48.520 a fair comment, by
00:44:49.380 the way, that
00:44:50.260 speeding it up
00:44:51.000 changes how it's
00:44:52.340 received.
00:44:52.780 But I think you'll
00:44:53.920 see that if you
00:44:54.480 play it slowly, you
00:44:56.640 get the pleading
00:44:57.520 just, it's just
00:44:59.120 slower.
00:45:00.180 But you're right.
00:45:01.100 That wasn't fair to
00:45:02.120 show it.
00:45:03.000 So let me acknowledge
00:45:04.300 that wasn't fair to
00:45:06.420 show it at a higher
00:45:07.300 speed.
00:45:07.720 I didn't do that
00:45:08.240 intentionally.
00:45:08.820 I must have some
00:45:09.420 setting in YouTube.
00:45:12.460 But, doesn't mean
00:45:14.840 he's wrong.
00:45:16.340 Right?
00:45:17.040 You've got to be
00:45:17.680 really clear.
00:45:18.520 Doesn't mean he's
00:45:19.200 wrong.
00:45:20.420 But he's using a
00:45:21.500 communication style
00:45:22.500 that screams not
00:45:24.220 credible, whether it
00:45:26.580 is or not.
00:45:28.320 All right.
00:45:28.880 So I hope you
00:45:29.620 learned something.
00:45:32.540 I hope you learned
00:45:33.440 something from that.
00:45:35.440 Let me tell you the
00:45:36.600 other thing that
00:45:37.680 gave me pause.
00:45:40.580 Joe asked him about
00:45:41.620 masks.
00:45:43.660 Now, what do you
00:45:44.580 think a doctor
00:45:45.620 should say about
00:45:46.700 masks?
00:45:47.340 Well, he gave a
00:45:50.240 very indirect answer
00:45:51.660 which I felt was
00:45:52.900 playing to the
00:45:53.560 audience.
00:45:55.260 It looked like his
00:45:57.380 honest answer may
00:45:58.520 have not been
00:45:59.240 exactly what Joe
00:46:00.760 Rogan's audience
00:46:01.580 wanted to hear.
00:46:03.540 That was just a
00:46:04.480 feeling I got.
00:46:05.320 Again, I'm not a
00:46:06.180 mind reader, so I
00:46:07.640 can't know what's in
00:46:08.360 his head.
00:46:09.000 That would be
00:46:09.520 unfair.
00:46:10.700 But I'll tell you
00:46:11.780 the way I received
00:46:12.560 it was he was
00:46:14.500 tap dancing on
00:46:15.520 masks.
00:46:17.340 And the moment I
00:46:18.040 heard him tap
00:46:18.740 dance on masks, I
00:46:21.540 lost all belief in
00:46:22.620 anything else he
00:46:23.460 had to say.
00:46:25.180 So as a general
00:46:26.160 rule, if somebody
00:46:27.180 has a large message
00:46:28.480 and there's only one
00:46:29.620 part of it you
00:46:30.160 understand, and you
00:46:31.620 know that part
00:46:32.240 doesn't make sense,
00:46:34.120 you are free to
00:46:35.620 extend that lack of
00:46:36.840 credibility to the
00:46:37.780 whole.
00:46:38.540 That would not be
00:46:39.280 irrational.
00:46:40.180 If you knew there
00:46:41.820 was just one part of
00:46:42.700 it you could be
00:46:43.300 certain about.
00:46:43.960 So I'm still
00:46:47.320 seeing some
00:46:47.780 complaints that
00:46:48.540 the speeding it
00:46:49.300 up changed
00:46:49.960 everything.
00:46:52.840 Let's look at it
00:46:54.060 again tomorrow.
00:46:55.000 I'll check it on
00:46:55.920 lower speed.
00:46:56.920 I don't think it
00:46:57.680 changed everything.
00:46:59.520 I think it did
00:47:00.980 exacerbate it, but
00:47:02.780 the effect is still
00:47:03.640 there.
00:47:03.860 You know, the
00:47:09.080 pitch is not
00:47:11.620 important except
00:47:12.820 for how it's
00:47:13.860 modulated.
00:47:15.940 Right?
00:47:16.560 So it doesn't
00:47:17.280 matter that he
00:47:17.740 has a high-pitched
00:47:18.600 voice or a low-pitched
00:47:19.500 voice.
00:47:19.920 That's not part of
00:47:20.920 persuasion.
00:47:22.220 You know, the
00:47:22.760 low-pitched
00:47:23.420 executive voice, it
00:47:26.540 can have a little
00:47:27.140 persuasive value, but
00:47:28.240 you don't really need
00:47:28.900 that.
00:47:29.460 It's optional.
00:47:30.120 He has a great
00:47:32.900 track record with
00:47:33.800 his COVID patients.
00:47:35.340 Do you know who
00:47:35.840 else has a great
00:47:36.780 track record with
00:47:37.800 their COVID patients?
00:47:40.200 Everybody.
00:47:42.440 Because we've got
00:47:43.240 really good
00:47:43.640 treatments now.
00:47:45.720 Plus, most people
00:47:46.680 get better.
00:47:49.140 All right.
00:47:52.200 By the way,
00:47:52.960 Dope Sick, that
00:47:53.800 is really well
00:47:55.820 done.
00:47:56.240 I thought that I
00:47:57.040 wouldn't like it
00:47:57.680 because it was
00:47:58.100 just going to be
00:47:58.660 sad and poorly
00:48:00.540 made.
00:48:01.040 But it's actually
00:48:01.500 made so well.
00:48:02.820 Just the artistry
00:48:05.020 of making it is
00:48:07.360 really high, so
00:48:08.080 it's really good
00:48:08.720 to watch.
00:48:12.440 All right.
00:48:15.880 So somebody
00:48:16.700 asked if a
00:48:18.500 cartoonist is
00:48:19.320 credible.
00:48:19.980 So I tweeted
00:48:21.260 his question because
00:48:22.200 he had a little
00:48:22.620 graph there.
00:48:23.920 The last I
00:48:24.360 checked it, 59%
00:48:26.380 said I was
00:48:27.060 credible, 22%
00:48:29.080 say I'm a
00:48:29.720 paid operative.
00:48:32.360 22%.
00:48:32.880 22%, round it
00:48:35.300 up to 25%.
00:48:38.880 Yes, that's
00:48:40.520 exactly the
00:48:41.120 number of people
00:48:41.640 who answer
00:48:42.180 every poll
00:48:43.060 wrong, no
00:48:45.080 matter the
00:48:45.560 question.
00:48:47.200 All right.
00:48:48.900 Here's a list
00:48:49.940 of how to
00:48:50.400 participate in a
00:48:51.280 debate if you
00:48:52.200 have nothing to
00:48:52.820 say to me.
00:48:54.480 You could use
00:48:55.380 any of these
00:48:55.900 phrases to show
00:48:56.820 that you have
00:48:57.200 put no thought
00:48:57.900 whatsoever into
00:48:58.760 your point of
00:48:59.360 view, and you
00:49:01.360 just wanted to
00:49:01.840 say something.
00:49:03.180 So sometimes we
00:49:03.940 just like to say
00:49:04.600 something, be part
00:49:05.740 of it.
00:49:06.700 So if you'd like to
00:49:07.540 be part of a
00:49:08.240 conversation with
00:49:09.060 me on some
00:49:09.820 topic, and you
00:49:11.520 don't have anything
00:49:12.320 whatsoever to say
00:49:13.260 of use, use any
00:49:15.020 of these phrases.
00:49:17.480 He's jumping the
00:49:18.360 shark now.
00:49:19.900 He jumped the
00:49:20.680 shark now.
00:49:21.180 Well, look who's
00:49:23.520 the pointy hair
00:49:24.120 boss now.
00:49:26.140 I guess we
00:49:27.520 know who's the
00:49:28.060 pointy hair boss
00:49:28.840 now.
00:49:30.540 That's just like
00:49:31.380 the matrix.
00:49:34.200 That reminds me
00:49:35.180 of Soylent Green.
00:49:38.140 Oh, oh, so
00:49:39.480 you're an
00:49:39.780 apologist.
00:49:40.720 You're an
00:49:41.040 apologist now.
00:49:42.080 Can we call you
00:49:42.700 an apologist?
00:49:43.900 You apologist?
00:49:44.460 I saw it with
00:49:47.500 my own eyes,
00:49:49.080 Scott.
00:49:50.120 Don't tell me it
00:49:50.860 didn't happen.
00:49:51.620 I saw it with
00:49:53.020 my own eyes.
00:49:54.860 Heard it with
00:49:55.440 my own ears.
00:49:59.240 So say that.
00:50:01.580 Any sheep
00:50:02.300 references are
00:50:03.040 good.
00:50:04.200 Sheep.
00:50:05.260 You're a sheep.
00:50:06.100 Somebody's a
00:50:06.600 sheep.
00:50:07.720 Everybody's a
00:50:08.420 sheep.
00:50:09.460 Any kind of
00:50:10.040 sheep reference
00:50:10.680 is good.
00:50:12.160 Also, 1984,
00:50:13.820 the book,
00:50:14.460 Hitler, and
00:50:15.340 anything with
00:50:15.920 fascists, of
00:50:16.600 course.
00:50:16.900 Just throw that
00:50:17.520 into any
00:50:18.140 reference.
00:50:19.800 Each of these
00:50:20.520 go with every
00:50:21.040 argument, really.
00:50:23.000 Now, on the
00:50:23.860 sheep reference,
00:50:25.320 may I say
00:50:25.860 this?
00:50:27.400 I think the
00:50:28.200 sheep reference
00:50:28.860 is the lowest
00:50:29.700 level of
00:50:30.500 thinking in
00:50:31.660 the pandemic.
00:50:34.080 Oh, yeah.
00:50:35.100 Scott is such
00:50:35.740 a sophist.
00:50:38.060 I have to add
00:50:38.820 that to my
00:50:39.240 list.
00:50:40.160 Yeah, that's
00:50:40.480 a good one.
00:50:40.900 You know
00:50:45.180 everybody's a
00:50:45.960 sheep, right?
00:50:47.340 So the
00:50:47.840 funniest thing
00:50:48.320 about 2021 is
00:50:49.700 sheep calling
00:50:50.520 other sheep
00:50:51.060 sheep, and
00:50:52.660 then the
00:50:52.980 sheep that
00:50:53.360 they're calling
00:50:53.760 sheep are
00:50:54.260 saying, I'm
00:50:55.620 not a sheep,
00:50:56.200 you're the
00:50:56.500 sheep.
00:50:57.740 Like, nobody's
00:50:58.440 aware that we're
00:50:59.180 all sheep.
00:51:01.340 Well, here's
00:51:02.040 what I mean by
00:51:02.580 that.
00:51:03.520 With the
00:51:04.180 vaccinations, the
00:51:06.220 anti-vaxxers are
00:51:07.240 saying, you're
00:51:08.220 sheep, and you're
00:51:09.180 afraid of
00:51:09.940 COVID, that's
00:51:11.220 why you're
00:51:11.540 getting the
00:51:11.860 vaccination.
00:51:13.360 But then the
00:51:13.920 sheep say, but
00:51:15.240 wait a minute, are
00:51:15.840 you afraid of
00:51:16.420 the vaccination?
00:51:18.780 I'm afraid of
00:51:19.580 the COVID, you're
00:51:21.120 afraid of the
00:51:21.600 vaccination, doesn't
00:51:23.380 that make both of
00:51:24.020 us sheep?
00:51:26.180 I think we're
00:51:26.960 both sheep, because
00:51:28.360 we're both afraid of
00:51:29.160 something, and we
00:51:29.920 don't know.
00:51:31.640 So as soon as you
00:51:32.720 think it's the
00:51:33.280 other person who's
00:51:34.120 a sheep, you've
00:51:35.840 left the ground of
00:51:36.860 rational conversation.
00:51:39.980 Here's something I
00:51:40.860 didn't know.
00:51:41.600 This is also an
00:51:42.420 Andres Beckhaus
00:51:43.500 discovery, meaning
00:51:46.040 that the data was
00:51:47.020 already out there,
00:51:47.920 easy to find, but
00:51:48.820 for some reason he
00:51:49.640 got it and you
00:51:50.240 didn't.
00:51:51.640 Did you think the
00:51:52.540 suicides went up
00:51:53.540 during the
00:51:54.200 lockdowns?
00:51:55.840 How many of you
00:51:56.700 think the suicides
00:51:57.820 are up during the
00:51:59.060 pandemic?
00:52:00.460 Reveal yourselves.
00:52:02.300 How many say
00:52:03.040 suicides are up?
00:52:07.260 They're down.
00:52:09.180 But, not equally.
00:52:13.640 Turns out that
00:52:14.520 they're down in
00:52:16.500 every category
00:52:17.820 except, no wait,
00:52:21.100 they're down, no
00:52:23.860 they're up in every
00:52:24.620 category except adult
00:52:26.180 white men, I think.
00:52:27.520 Did I read that
00:52:29.320 right?
00:52:29.520 Yeah, I think
00:52:33.060 that's it.
00:52:34.820 So, only white
00:52:36.100 adults had
00:52:39.040 fewer suicides.
00:52:41.440 But other groups
00:52:42.320 had a little bit
00:52:42.880 more, but overall
00:52:43.840 because there's a
00:52:44.820 lot of white
00:52:45.460 adults killing
00:52:46.120 themselves.
00:52:47.900 So, I guess it's
00:52:48.800 not men, it's
00:52:49.440 adults.
00:52:51.900 And it says the
00:52:52.780 overall decline, I
00:52:53.940 think this was from
00:52:54.940 NPR, the overall
00:52:56.660 decline was driven
00:52:57.560 mostly, almost
00:52:58.760 entirely, by a
00:53:00.420 drop in suicides
00:53:01.300 among white
00:53:01.900 people, who
00:53:04.060 apparently kill
00:53:04.800 themselves at a
00:53:05.420 higher rate than
00:53:06.000 any other group.
00:53:07.600 Did you know
00:53:07.980 that?
00:53:08.860 Did you know that
00:53:09.500 white people kill
00:53:10.320 themselves at the
00:53:11.060 highest rate?
00:53:11.660 Now, how do you
00:53:16.920 define equity?
00:53:20.740 Because I've said
00:53:21.680 this before,
00:53:22.700 shouldn't you just
00:53:23.300 measure everybody's
00:53:25.400 level of happiness
00:53:26.280 and if they're
00:53:27.760 similar, you're
00:53:28.400 done, right?
00:53:29.580 You don't have to
00:53:30.260 give anybody extra
00:53:31.180 money or anything if
00:53:32.060 everybody's equally
00:53:32.760 happy the way they
00:53:33.520 are.
00:53:34.520 But if white
00:53:35.860 people are killing
00:53:36.580 themselves at the
00:53:37.480 highest rate, I
00:53:40.900 think that's a
00:53:41.420 red flag, or
00:53:43.420 maybe we're
00:53:43.960 looking at this
00:53:44.580 whole equality
00:53:45.700 thing in a less
00:53:47.960 than optimal way.
00:53:51.860 But I guess
00:53:52.300 for, anyway, so
00:53:57.260 I have some
00:53:58.100 theories about
00:53:59.120 that.
00:54:00.540 Here's one of
00:54:01.320 them.
00:54:02.380 I'm not sure
00:54:03.040 that we counted
00:54:03.900 suicides correctly
00:54:05.740 during the
00:54:06.700 pandemic, or in
00:54:08.560 general.
00:54:09.220 Here's why.
00:54:09.820 A lot of
00:54:10.860 suicidal people
00:54:11.700 are also drug
00:54:12.880 addicts.
00:54:14.720 Because why
00:54:15.340 wouldn't you be,
00:54:16.080 really?
00:54:16.640 If you're
00:54:17.240 suicidal, it
00:54:18.440 almost doesn't
00:54:19.080 make sense not
00:54:19.800 to do drugs.
00:54:21.540 Okay, I
00:54:22.180 shouldn't say
00:54:22.540 that.
00:54:22.980 Take that
00:54:23.320 back.
00:54:23.900 That was an
00:54:24.300 irresponsible thing
00:54:25.120 to say.
00:54:26.260 Bring it back.
00:54:27.700 There's some
00:54:28.300 things that are
00:54:28.760 true, but you
00:54:29.280 just shouldn't
00:54:29.680 say.
00:54:31.060 So I
00:54:32.280 shouldn't have
00:54:32.600 said that, but
00:54:33.920 it's true.
00:54:34.260 And I
00:54:38.520 have a, well,
00:54:40.240 I won't tell
00:54:40.820 you why I
00:54:42.240 think this, but
00:54:43.660 I do know
00:54:44.240 that people
00:54:46.040 who take too
00:54:46.780 many drugs and
00:54:47.580 stop worrying
00:54:48.260 about overdosing
00:54:49.120 might be in the
00:54:50.140 suicidal group.
00:54:52.140 So I think
00:54:52.620 some percentage
00:54:53.980 of the overdoses
00:54:55.460 are, let's
00:54:56.800 say, an
00:54:57.520 accidental
00:54:59.320 death without
00:55:01.880 much regard for
00:55:03.240 whether they
00:55:03.680 would die,
00:55:04.860 meaning that
00:55:05.460 people didn't
00:55:06.340 protect their
00:55:06.980 own life because
00:55:08.720 they weren't that
00:55:09.240 concerned about
00:55:09.820 living.
00:55:10.720 Is that suicide?
00:55:12.060 If you do
00:55:12.560 things that you
00:55:13.100 know could kill
00:55:13.680 you because
00:55:15.100 you're not
00:55:15.480 interested in
00:55:16.320 living, it's
00:55:18.100 suicide-ish, even
00:55:19.460 if you didn't
00:55:19.900 know what would
00:55:20.320 happen on that
00:55:20.900 particular day.
00:55:22.340 You might be
00:55:22.900 just redlining
00:55:25.320 how much drugs
00:55:26.180 you're taking,
00:55:27.100 but not really
00:55:28.000 planning to die.
00:55:29.660 You're just
00:55:30.240 okay with it if
00:55:30.980 it happens.
00:55:31.500 I don't know.
00:55:33.940 So I would
00:55:35.100 question the
00:55:35.880 data, but
00:55:36.540 if you
00:55:39.660 remember, I
00:55:40.600 don't know if
00:55:42.160 I'm remembering
00:55:42.820 it right.
00:55:43.220 Help me with
00:55:43.680 my memory.
00:55:44.520 I feel as
00:55:45.260 though I
00:55:45.880 predicted that
00:55:46.600 during the
00:55:47.180 pandemic there
00:55:48.280 would be fewer
00:55:49.460 suicides.
00:55:52.020 And I think he
00:55:52.740 was that people
00:55:54.900 would be in
00:55:55.760 close quarters with
00:55:56.640 their families.
00:55:57.800 They wouldn't be
00:55:58.740 bullied at school
00:55:59.540 the same way.
00:56:01.240 And that there
00:56:02.060 would just be
00:56:02.460 sort of less
00:56:02.940 opportunity because
00:56:04.020 we'd all just be
00:56:04.700 around each other
00:56:05.640 and I guess our
00:56:09.360 lives would be
00:56:10.200 constrained, but
00:56:12.220 you'd be with
00:56:12.780 your family more
00:56:13.460 even if you
00:56:13.880 didn't like it.
00:56:15.220 I just felt like
00:56:16.560 the situation was
00:56:17.940 we'd be watched
00:56:19.160 too much and
00:56:20.460 there would be
00:56:20.780 less of it.
00:56:22.020 Now I don't know
00:56:22.600 if that was a good
00:56:23.140 prediction or not,
00:56:23.980 but I did not
00:56:25.660 predict that there
00:56:26.280 would be more of it
00:56:26.960 early on.
00:56:27.520 Later on when
00:56:28.560 the statistics
00:56:29.240 seemed to show
00:56:30.080 that there was
00:56:30.480 more of it,
00:56:31.380 I think I
00:56:31.980 adopted that view.
00:56:36.600 Yeah, Red Fury
00:56:37.520 is asking,
00:56:38.220 did Scott really
00:56:39.000 say that?
00:56:39.580 That's what I'm
00:56:40.100 asking.
00:56:40.940 I'm asking because
00:56:42.040 I might have a
00:56:42.820 false memory of
00:56:43.540 that.
00:56:44.320 And I know that
00:56:44.960 I had at least
00:56:45.480 two different views.
00:56:46.540 I think I started
00:56:47.360 with, oh, I'm
00:56:47.980 seeing lots of
00:56:48.460 yeses on locals.
00:56:49.640 People do
00:56:50.060 remember.
00:56:52.500 I started with
00:56:53.660 the view that
00:56:54.660 there would be
00:56:55.360 fewer of them,
00:56:56.060 but I changed
00:56:57.680 it when the
00:56:58.360 data said
00:56:58.960 otherwise, but
00:56:59.820 apparently it
00:57:00.280 doesn't.
00:57:01.040 Apparently the
00:57:01.560 data doesn't
00:57:02.100 say otherwise.
00:57:03.340 Anyway, that
00:57:04.700 is about all I
00:57:05.520 have to do for
00:57:07.100 today.
00:57:10.040 Loneliness, yes.
00:57:11.720 There was less
00:57:12.680 loneliness, I
00:57:13.400 imagined, during
00:57:14.320 the pandemic.
00:57:15.640 Weirdly.
00:57:17.160 Good.
00:57:17.760 Thanks for
00:57:18.080 reminding me.
00:57:20.500 I'm now going
00:57:21.460 to do something
00:57:22.140 that will change
00:57:23.800 the lives of
00:57:24.720 approximately one
00:57:26.060 percent of
00:57:26.780 you.
00:57:27.940 Want to stay
00:57:28.680 around for
00:57:29.040 that?
00:57:29.920 It'll be
00:57:30.300 fast.
00:57:31.420 Ninety-nine
00:57:31.980 percent of
00:57:32.440 you, no
00:57:32.940 difference.
00:57:33.940 One percent of
00:57:34.680 you, I'm going
00:57:35.520 to change your
00:57:35.980 life right now.
00:57:37.360 I went
00:57:38.220 approximately 60
00:57:40.200 years of my
00:57:40.780 life believing
00:57:41.420 that I had
00:57:41.960 terrible allergies,
00:57:43.260 and those
00:57:43.880 allergies were
00:57:44.500 all the time.
00:57:47.280 I started
00:57:48.400 experimenting by
00:57:49.460 cutting out
00:57:50.120 different food
00:57:50.840 groups to
00:57:52.440 see if maybe I
00:57:53.360 had a food
00:57:53.860 allergy that I
00:57:55.140 was fooling
00:57:55.680 myself into
00:57:56.320 thinking it
00:57:56.780 was just
00:57:57.120 some kind
00:57:59.020 of grass
00:58:01.040 allergy or
00:58:01.540 something.
00:58:02.720 And finally,
00:58:04.400 I took out
00:58:05.040 of my life
00:58:05.720 one item,
00:58:06.900 which was
00:58:07.420 salad dressing.
00:58:10.060 It turns
00:58:10.460 out salad
00:58:10.900 dressing has
00:58:11.520 this additive
00:58:12.400 called sulfites.
00:58:14.820 I think it
00:58:15.680 keeps it from
00:58:16.960 spoiling or
00:58:17.640 something.
00:58:18.600 So,
00:58:18.960 sulfites.
00:58:20.100 Because I
00:58:20.720 first noticed
00:58:21.260 that I became
00:58:21.940 allergic to
00:58:22.960 alcohol,
00:58:23.820 and I
00:58:24.020 couldn't
00:58:24.200 figure out
00:58:24.640 why.
00:58:25.240 It's sort
00:58:25.580 of a
00:58:25.780 mysterious
00:58:26.140 thing.
00:58:27.500 But I
00:58:28.820 cut out a
00:58:29.440 salad from
00:58:30.140 my life,
00:58:31.400 so to get
00:58:32.020 rid of the
00:58:32.340 salad dressing,
00:58:33.280 and my
00:58:34.020 allergies
00:58:34.400 completely
00:58:35.340 transformed.
00:58:36.280 I do have
00:58:36.680 some kind of
00:58:37.020 baseline allergies,
00:58:37.960 but it went
00:58:38.660 from the worst
00:58:39.380 thing in the
00:58:39.760 world to just
00:58:40.460 sort of a
00:58:41.060 small bother.
00:58:42.700 Now,
00:58:43.740 here's the
00:58:44.240 first tip.
00:58:45.280 You should
00:58:45.620 do that if
00:58:46.400 you have
00:58:46.680 allergies.
00:58:47.760 Yeah,
00:58:48.020 wine is the
00:58:48.560 worst.
00:58:49.360 You should
00:58:49.900 do that if
00:58:50.340 you have
00:58:50.540 allergies.
00:58:51.200 Try to
00:58:51.780 rigorously
00:58:53.780 stick to a
00:58:55.300 certain kind
00:58:55.800 of diet for
00:58:56.440 a few weeks,
00:58:57.800 and then
00:58:58.260 maybe take
00:58:59.020 out one
00:58:59.480 item,
00:59:00.660 just one
00:59:01.140 item,
00:59:01.600 keep the
00:59:02.000 same diet
00:59:02.440 minus that
00:59:02.980 one item,
00:59:03.700 and then
00:59:04.100 just keep
00:59:04.480 repeating that.
00:59:05.940 Because I
00:59:06.540 believe that a
00:59:07.200 lot of you
00:59:07.560 have food
00:59:08.320 allergies,
00:59:08.920 not necessarily
00:59:09.560 the same
00:59:09.920 one I
00:59:10.200 have,
00:59:10.740 but I
00:59:11.100 think a
00:59:11.360 lot of
00:59:11.620 you have
00:59:11.940 food
00:59:12.480 allergies
00:59:12.940 that you
00:59:14.340 think are
00:59:14.840 regular
00:59:15.240 allergies.
00:59:16.660 Now,
00:59:17.020 in my
00:59:17.320 case,
00:59:17.720 I went
00:59:18.120 to test
00:59:18.560 this the
00:59:18.960 other
00:59:19.120 day,
00:59:19.740 and I
00:59:20.120 said to
00:59:20.340 myself,
00:59:20.820 I want
00:59:21.460 to be
00:59:21.700 positive.
00:59:22.480 It's the
00:59:22.820 salad dressing.
00:59:24.020 So my
00:59:24.620 first salad
00:59:25.420 in months,
00:59:26.920 and for
00:59:27.440 three days,
00:59:28.220 I could
00:59:28.520 hardly
00:59:28.980 breathe.
00:59:31.320 It took
00:59:31.980 days for
00:59:33.620 it to
00:59:33.860 die down.
00:59:34.740 Days.
00:59:36.180 And I
00:59:37.560 stayed off
00:59:38.000 salad for
00:59:38.380 a few
00:59:38.620 days,
00:59:38.920 and now
00:59:39.180 I'm back
00:59:39.980 to normal.
00:59:41.260 So about
00:59:42.800 1% of
00:59:43.520 you are
00:59:43.860 going to
00:59:44.060 look for
00:59:44.360 sulfites,
00:59:44.960 and here's
00:59:45.320 the trick.
00:59:46.160 They're not
00:59:46.680 listed on
00:59:47.340 the package.
00:59:48.560 How about
00:59:49.940 that?
00:59:51.000 Apparently,
00:59:51.720 it's one
00:59:51.960 of those
00:59:52.220 ingredients you
00:59:53.360 don't have
00:59:53.960 to list.
00:59:55.300 But it
00:59:56.060 typically is
00:59:56.680 in dressings.
00:59:58.420 If you
00:59:59.160 eat whole
00:59:59.620 foods,
01:00:00.160 well,
01:00:00.440 here's the
01:00:01.000 easy way
01:00:01.380 to test
01:00:01.760 it.
01:00:02.320 Just eat
01:00:02.820 whole foods
01:00:03.600 for a
01:00:04.120 week.
01:00:05.120 Just
01:00:05.360 nothing
01:00:05.940 that's
01:00:06.200 packaged
01:00:06.560 and
01:00:07.020 nothing
01:00:07.260 that's
01:00:07.960 a
01:00:08.440 sauce.
01:00:09.960 Just see.
01:00:11.340 If you
01:00:11.980 eat nothing
01:00:12.600 but whole
01:00:13.040 foods for a
01:00:13.620 week,
01:00:14.120 you will
01:00:14.700 feel really
01:00:15.160 different.
01:00:15.460 I've
01:00:16.520 tried that
01:00:17.040 and I
01:00:17.740 hate it
01:00:18.300 because I
01:00:18.880 don't want
01:00:19.200 to eat
01:00:19.360 whole foods
01:00:19.860 all the
01:00:20.160 time.
01:00:20.580 It's too
01:00:20.840 much of a
01:00:21.220 pain in
01:00:21.460 the ass.
01:00:21.840 It's not
01:00:22.140 delicious.
01:00:23.140 But you
01:00:23.760 will feel
01:00:24.160 different.
01:00:24.840 I guarantee
01:00:25.460 it.
01:00:26.060 You'll feel
01:00:26.500 it.
01:00:27.560 All right,
01:00:27.900 if that's
01:00:28.160 your last
01:00:28.500 tip of
01:00:28.780 the day,
01:00:29.360 I've got
01:00:29.620 to run
01:00:29.800 and do
01:00:30.000 something.
01:00:30.580 Bye for
01:00:31.000 now.
