Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1593 Scott Adams： Let's Talk About the Funny Stuff in the News Today

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the best thing that's ever happened to you.

00:00:09.020 Yep, I say that every day because it's true every single day.

00:00:12.600 We're going nowhere but up.

00:00:14.700 We're like the Omicron variant of podcasts.

00:00:18.220 You can't stop us, but we're mild.

00:00:20.940 We're mild and we won't hurt you, but you can't stop us.

00:00:24.400 And if you'd like to take this to the next level, and why wouldn't you?

00:00:27.660 Well, when I look at you, I see people who are smarter, better, sexier than everyone else who's not watching this.

00:00:36.580 And so I know you'd like to take it up to the next level, and all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a canteen jug or a flax, a vessel of any kind,

00:00:43.680 filling with your favorite liquid.

00:00:45.220 I like coffee.

00:00:47.520 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:55.460 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:58.520 It's better than a vaccination.

00:00:59.980 It's better than ivermectin.

00:01:01.240 It's better than lots of things.

00:01:03.960 Go.

00:01:08.200 Ah, sublime.

00:01:12.460 Savor it.

00:01:13.920 Savor it.

00:01:15.840 Stop and smell the coffee beans or whatever you got going there.

00:01:20.180 All right, so I have to ask this.

00:01:22.440 At the end of yesterday's live stream, I gave you a tip for removing foods from your diet and sulfites in particular.

00:01:32.060 Has anybody else discovered that they do have an allergy to sulfides or sulfites?

00:01:39.680 I'm seeing some more people here.

00:01:41.620 I've got a feeling it might be massive.

00:01:43.520 Could it be that, have you noticed that there's a asthma?

00:01:49.480 I need an update on this, but the last I knew, there was this huge uptick in asthma in adults in the United States.

00:02:00.340 Can somebody fact check that for me?

00:02:02.760 I know that was true a while ago, you know, years ago, that there was this giant unexplained uptick in asthma.

00:02:10.060 And it took me decades to find out it was that additive that was getting me.

00:02:16.420 What if it's just the additive?

00:02:18.700 What if that explains everything?

00:02:20.660 Because most asthma is either triggered by exercise or allergies.

00:02:26.580 And if there's a food additive that got to some percentage of the public and caused them to have allergies,

00:02:35.280 that would trigger your asthma.

00:02:37.260 So could it be a food allergy is the reason that the asthma spiked?

00:02:44.560 I'm going to say maybe.

00:02:46.400 Just a guess.

00:02:47.740 But speculatively, maybe.

00:02:49.800 Let me tell you something that a system I've been using on Twitter,

00:02:54.000 that's one of the best things that I ever came up with.

00:02:57.080 You've heard it before, but I just want to reinforce it so you can use it yourself.

00:03:00.600 If somebody comes after you personally on Twitter, you know, they're not criticizing the argument, 0.98

00:03:08.000 they're calling you stupid or, you know, just some personal insult. 0.96

00:03:12.020 Before you respond, before you respond, because you're going to want to insult them back right away, 1.00

00:03:18.920 check the profile.

00:03:19.980 And see if it's somebody who works in the arts.

00:03:25.380 Because ever since I started doing that and then sharing it with you,

00:03:28.840 you'll find that people who work in the arts go for the ad hominem.

00:03:33.420 I don't know exactly why.

00:03:35.860 It could be a combination of things.

00:03:37.500 One, it could be they don't have the analytical skills to go at it a different way.

00:03:41.220 But two, it could be they don't have the same distinction between reality and fantasy.

00:03:47.100 In other words, it might not, you know, matter to them so much if you're right.

00:03:51.880 It just matters that they're mad at you because you disagree.

00:03:55.340 And so I think there's also a performance element to it.

00:04:01.520 That people insulting, especially somebody who's, you know, in the public eye.

00:04:05.580 When people insult me, I think there's always a performance element to it.

00:04:08.640 That has nothing to do with me specifically.

00:04:11.720 And so as soon as I see that it's somebody in the arts, I completely discount it.

00:04:18.360 Because I just say, oh, that's just them.

00:04:21.480 That's just them.

00:04:22.700 That's just them being them.

00:04:24.520 Because the moment you think it's about you, you're going to be mad.

00:04:30.200 It's not about you.

00:04:31.840 It's about them.

00:04:33.220 It's about the performance they want to put on.

00:04:35.480 It's about them dealing with their own feelings and emotion.

00:04:38.560 And the number of times that I get insulted and then I check and, oh, it's an artist.

00:04:45.160 It's a writer or it's a visual artist of some kind.

00:04:49.060 Often they work in Hollywood. 0.61

00:04:50.260 Yeah, I'll tell you, the Hollywood writers are absolutely the worst.

00:04:58.080 They're the ones who come after me the most.

00:04:59.700 Because they hate me also because I make money writing.

00:05:03.020 And if you're a writer, you really hate people who make money writing.

00:05:06.100 98% of them do because 98% of writers don't make much money writing.

00:05:12.720 So that's my advice to you.

00:05:14.780 Now, did you all see the Elon Musk response to Elizabeth Warren on Twitter?

00:05:19.820 If you haven't seen it, it's one for the ages.

00:05:22.600 So on the same day that Elon Musk becomes Time Person of the Year,

00:05:29.760 Elon Musk proved to us why he is the best choice they've ever made for the Time Person of the Year.

00:05:36.280 If he wasn't already Time Person of the Year,

00:05:39.420 you'd have to give him some consideration just based on this tweet response.

00:05:43.860 That alone, if he'd never fired a rocket into space or become the richest person in the world.

00:05:50.940 Or the country, I guess.

00:05:53.480 So Elizabeth Warren decides to use Elon Musk as her, I don't know, 0.99

00:05:59.860 there's some word for it.

00:06:01.480 If you just use somebody as your example, I guess.

00:06:05.720 But I'm looking for a smarter sounding word.

00:06:09.020 And she says, let's change the rigged tax code

00:06:12.260 so the Person of the Year, meaning Elon Musk,

00:06:15.400 will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else.

00:06:23.800 What?

00:06:27.340 What?

00:06:29.180 Freeloading?

00:06:30.700 Elon Musk?

00:06:32.280 He's like single-handedly solving the biggest problems in the world for our country.

00:06:38.180 Elon Musk, I would say, is the reason that battery technology is advancing so much.

00:06:47.520 I mean, Tesla's got to be the big driver of showing that that market exists, etc. 0.73

00:06:52.940 And, of course, battery storage will be one of the key technologies of the future.

00:06:58.120 He's taking us to space, better than NASA was doing,

00:07:02.100 the most important strategic thing in the history of,

00:07:05.560 well, the entire history of the United States.

00:07:08.800 Controlling space and having space competence first,

00:07:13.820 nothing's more important than that.

00:07:15.860 So Elon Musk is doing, like, the work that even our government can do.

00:07:19.820 It's so important.

00:07:21.420 And she's, like, calling him a freeloader.

00:07:23.900 So Elon Musk, who also is the only marketing for Tesla,

00:07:30.480 which is also a wonderful fact,

00:07:33.120 that he's so good at getting attention

00:07:35.320 that he doesn't need to do marketing.

00:07:37.860 There's nobody who doesn't know him.

00:07:39.440 You know, everybody's following him.

00:07:41.300 He's the person of the year,

00:07:42.880 time person of the year.

00:07:43.840 So it's the best marketing I've ever seen.

00:07:47.280 I've never seen anybody do marketing better than this.

00:07:49.660 Have you?

00:07:49.960 I mean, Apple was pretty great, but they spent money on it.

00:07:54.220 He spends no money,

00:07:55.960 and he gets the same bang for the buck as Apple does.

00:07:59.140 I think he's the best marketer of all time.

00:08:04.280 I mean, is that too much?

00:08:07.720 There's nobody else who spends zero

00:08:09.360 and gets this consistently, right?

00:08:13.060 So I think you could make an argument

00:08:14.380 he's the best marketer who ever lived,

00:08:17.820 if you're just looking at the numbers.

00:08:20.960 Anyway, so after Elizabeth Warren tries to dunk on Elon Musk, 0.99

00:08:26.460 which is literally the worst idea

00:08:29.120 anybody ever had in the world,

00:08:31.420 Elon, his first reaction tweet was just this,

00:08:35.360 stop projecting.

00:08:37.960 Now, of course, that one's, you know,

00:08:40.760 it doesn't really hit the mark.

00:08:42.900 It's just, you know, just sort of like a warning shot.

00:08:45.660 He followed it up soon after with another tweet.

00:08:48.160 He said,

00:08:49.780 you remind me of when I was a kid

00:08:52.340 with my friend's angry mom

00:08:54.080 would just randomly yell at everyone for no reason.

00:08:56.980 Oh, my God.

00:09:06.420 Now, it's not that he wrote it like a joke, per se,

00:09:12.480 but it's the combination of who he is

00:09:15.340 and who she is and what she did

00:09:18.140 that makes this so wonderful.

00:09:20.500 because as soon as he says it,

00:09:23.100 you can see it.

00:09:24.280 That's what makes it so powerful

00:09:25.560 because Elizabeth Warren does have sort of a,

00:09:29.700 she does have sort of an angry mom persona. 1.00

00:09:32.980 And when you hear the richest man in the world

00:09:36.400 call it out, like, like the topic is taxes.

00:09:40.660 So instead of talking about tax rates,

00:09:43.660 he calls her out for being,

00:09:45.640 like his friend's angry mom,

00:09:47.720 and you can't stop seeing it.

00:09:49.440 The trouble is, this is a Trump-like attack.

00:09:53.160 As soon as you hear that she looks like 0.96

00:09:56.460 your friend's angry mom, 0.54

00:09:58.080 good luck ever seeing her another way again.

00:10:02.940 This is pure low-energy Jeb-level quality stuff.

00:10:12.240 So I'll never see her as anything but

00:10:14.620 Elon Musk's friend's angry mom.

00:10:18.400 But then he's not done.

00:10:22.120 He's got one more tweet in him.

00:10:24.280 He's not done.

00:10:25.800 The next tweet, his follow-up is,

00:10:28.080 please don't call the manager on me, Senator Karen.

00:10:31.440 And I'm like...

00:10:33.440 Oh, God.

00:10:39.020 The fact that...

00:10:40.440 Somebody...

00:10:51.440 Somebody who must have been a Democrat

00:10:54.780 tweeted in that, that Elon Musk,

00:10:58.340 you know, he has all this money,

00:10:59.440 he should hire a professional

00:11:01.140 to write his tweets for him.

00:11:03.780 And I thought to myself,

00:11:05.140 I don't know any professional

00:11:06.520 who could write a tweet this well,

00:11:08.100 except for Trump,

00:11:09.620 but I don't think he's for hire.

00:11:11.240 This is like the best set of tweets

00:11:13.020 I've ever seen.

00:11:14.140 I mean, I'm exaggerating a little bit,

00:11:15.540 but you can't do better than this.

00:11:18.140 You can't do better than this.

00:11:19.240 This is peak tweeting right here.

00:11:21.180 He's the richest man in the world,

00:11:23.740 the number one best marketer of all time, 0.98

00:11:25.880 and damn it, 0.96

00:11:26.920 he can tweet better than everybody. 0.99

00:11:29.180 It's probably not a coincidence.

00:11:31.120 He might be smart or something.

00:11:34.320 Rumor has it.

00:11:35.880 Anyway,

00:11:37.240 I don't know.

00:11:38.720 This could not be more...

00:11:39.920 I've never seen a more complete

00:11:41.980 takedown of a politician.

00:11:44.520 He basically ended her.

00:11:46.340 I mean,

00:11:49.980 seriously,

00:11:51.120 this is Bush-level takedown,

00:11:53.900 you know,

00:11:54.160 with Trump taking out Jeb Bush.

00:11:57.020 This is just wonderful.

00:11:59.100 And then later,

00:11:59.840 he followed it up.

00:12:00.480 I didn't copy that tweet,

00:12:01.520 but he noted that

00:12:02.440 in all likelihood

00:12:03.960 that Elon Musk

00:12:06.460 will pay more taxes this year

00:12:08.560 than any human has ever paid

00:12:11.500 this year,

00:12:14.900 at least in the United States.

00:12:16.760 He's going to pay more taxes

00:12:18.120 just this year

00:12:19.040 than any human has ever paid.

00:12:22.620 Now,

00:12:23.180 I assume that's related

00:12:24.100 to his selling his stock,

00:12:27.400 because he agreed

00:12:28.040 that he would sell

00:12:28.620 10% of his stock

00:12:30.080 or something in that range.

00:12:31.740 So that creates an enormous,

00:12:34.380 I think something like,

00:12:35.180 I don't know,

00:12:37.060 what,

00:12:37.720 a $3 or $4 billion tax bill?

00:12:40.940 Does anybody know

00:12:41.580 what his taxes would look like

00:12:42.980 just based on what stock he sold?

00:12:46.340 Somewhere in that range, right?

00:12:47.800 A few billion.

00:12:49.320 So when you go to pay your taxes,

00:12:51.660 just realize that

00:12:52.900 he's paying a few billion.

00:12:55.400 Yeah, it would be capital gains,

00:12:56.620 it would probably be 25%

00:12:57.860 of whatever he sells,

00:12:59.960 $2.5 billion maybe.

00:13:01.700 Something in that range.

00:13:02.760 Anyway,

00:13:04.980 that was fun.

00:13:07.600 So the January 6th committee,

00:13:11.320 they have so much nothing

00:13:14.120 that they're trying to turn nothing

00:13:16.160 into something.

00:13:17.180 So yesterday,

00:13:18.540 I kept reading the headlines.

00:13:21.940 They were trying to make something

00:13:23.980 out of the nothing

00:13:25.500 that I guess three Fox News hosts

00:13:29.260 had texted Mark Meadows

00:13:31.180 on January 6th

00:13:32.460 and asked him to ask the president

00:13:33.960 to call off the protests.

00:13:36.880 But the way that the stories were written,

00:13:40.060 it was as if they'd found a bombshell.

00:13:43.520 As if this was a big breaking story.

00:13:46.740 If they finally found the smoking gun.

00:13:48.820 What?

00:13:51.620 There's literally nothing there.

00:13:53.920 What are we supposed to take from it?

00:13:55.420 That some Fox News hosts

00:13:57.420 knew how to text Mark Meadows?

00:14:00.240 No surprise there.

00:14:02.380 Right?

00:14:03.580 Are we supposed to take from it

00:14:05.600 that Hannity and Laura Ingram

00:14:09.640 were in on the plot?

00:14:12.660 Because their texts say the opposite.

00:14:15.240 It's pretty clear from the text

00:14:17.280 that nobody at Fox News

00:14:19.220 had been aware

00:14:20.880 that there was some kind

00:14:21.820 of an insurrection planned.

00:14:24.200 Now let me ask you this.

00:14:25.940 So most of my viewers are,

00:14:27.960 you know,

00:14:28.180 you lean at least a little bit right.

00:14:30.680 And this is one of those blind spots

00:14:32.580 on the left.

00:14:33.220 Let me ask you this.

00:14:35.720 If there had been an actual planned

00:14:38.120 at any level insurrection

00:14:41.300 in which Trump was part of the planning,

00:14:44.260 which would mean 0.82

00:14:45.720 some constellation of AIDS

00:14:47.840 were part of the planning,

00:14:49.440 do you think that Hannity

00:14:50.760 would not know that?

00:14:54.540 Right?

00:14:56.140 Seriously.

00:14:57.000 If you know anything

00:14:58.120 about the world,

00:14:59.740 or certainly anything

00:15:00.800 about the conservative ecosystem,

00:15:03.800 you know,

00:15:04.000 who knows who,

00:15:04.800 who's connected to who,

00:15:06.400 tell me the odds

00:15:07.520 that Hannity and Laura Ingram

00:15:09.700 would be unaware

00:15:11.660 of an insurrection plot

00:15:13.880 if there was an insurrection plot.

00:15:16.680 I mean, seriously.

00:15:18.700 Hannity?

00:15:20.260 Hannity would talk

00:15:21.140 to the president

00:15:21.620 like every day.

00:15:23.380 Do you think the president

00:15:24.420 would have even attempted,

00:15:27.720 wait for it,

00:15:28.820 do you think Trump,

00:15:30.420 given who he is,

00:15:32.600 his knowledge of,

00:15:33.880 you know,

00:15:34.740 the media,

00:15:35.560 how things work,

00:15:37.080 do you think that Trump

00:15:38.440 would have planned

00:15:39.700 an actual insurrection

00:15:41.220 without talking to Hannity

00:15:43.580 to find out

00:15:45.020 how Hannity would handle it? 1.00

00:15:48.340 Nope.

00:15:49.740 Because there's no way

00:15:50.860 an insurrection works

00:15:51.840 if Fox News

00:15:52.620 doesn't go along with it,

00:15:54.000 right?

00:15:55.100 Am I right?

00:15:56.480 Everybody on the right

00:15:57.680 knows that.

00:15:59.060 The president knows that.

00:16:00.940 If Fox News

00:16:02.060 just turned hard

00:16:03.020 against the president,

00:16:04.240 let's say there was

00:16:04.920 an insurrection,

00:16:06.220 Fox would have turned on him

00:16:09.100 and the whole thing

00:16:10.760 would fall apart

00:16:11.360 and the right would turn on him,

00:16:12.520 just not Fox,

00:16:13.500 but the whole right

00:16:14.140 would turn on him.

00:16:15.500 And you don't think

00:16:16.960 that the president

00:16:17.580 was smart enough

00:16:18.480 to check that out first?

00:16:21.160 Say, hey,

00:16:22.260 Sean,

00:16:23.060 I'm just noodling

00:16:24.820 with this idea.

00:16:26.540 How would you take it

00:16:27.520 if I did that?

00:16:29.600 Now, if Hannity said,

00:16:31.200 I'm all in,

00:16:32.480 let's overthrow

00:16:33.500 the Constitution,

00:16:36.360 well, that would be

00:16:37.140 a different story,

00:16:38.040 but obviously

00:16:38.680 the opposite happened.

00:16:40.480 He was not in on anything,

00:16:42.600 and as soon as he saw

00:16:43.520 something developing,

00:16:45.100 he panicked,

00:16:45.820 not panicked,

00:16:46.480 that's,

00:16:47.060 I hate when people

00:16:47.940 say that about anybody,

00:16:49.520 he immediately acted,

00:16:51.260 no panic,

00:16:52.460 he acted as he should,

00:16:54.980 as a patriot,

00:16:56.300 as a citizen,

00:16:57.040 and he did what he could do

00:16:59.500 to try to make it stop.

00:17:01.720 Here's what the story

00:17:02.840 should have been.

00:17:04.880 Fox News hosts

00:17:06.060 highly responsible patriots

00:17:08.420 act immediately

00:17:09.880 to stop trouble.

00:17:12.380 Now, they were saying things like,

00:17:13.980 it looks bad for our side,

00:17:15.220 and that was obvious,

00:17:16.660 but still,

00:17:18.900 they acted as patriots,

00:17:21.180 am I wrong?

00:17:21.960 I mean, you could dislike

00:17:22.920 them for whatever opinions

00:17:25.580 you disagree with,

00:17:26.660 blah, blah, blah,

00:17:27.140 but in this instance,

00:17:30.400 the Fox News hosts

00:17:31.440 were just pure patriots,

00:17:32.860 in my opinion.

00:17:33.900 I think they just said

00:17:34.840 they saw trouble,

00:17:35.760 and they tried to stop it.

00:17:37.620 So, that's the story,

00:17:39.280 and somehow,

00:17:40.040 the news was trying

00:17:40.900 to present it like

00:17:41.760 there was some big

00:17:42.860 breaking thing

00:17:43.600 that was negative

00:17:44.320 for the right,

00:17:46.020 and it was really

00:17:46.740 exactly the opposite.

00:17:48.980 It was very complimentary

00:17:50.160 to the right,

00:17:51.560 you know,

00:17:52.000 within this context.

00:17:53.000 And, yeah,

00:17:56.840 and it was self-preservation.

00:17:58.820 Of course,

00:17:59.280 it was self-preservation.

00:18:00.780 But,

00:18:01.300 what is the situation

00:18:02.500 in which a patriot

00:18:03.600 is preserving,

00:18:06.240 you know,

00:18:06.540 themselves,

00:18:07.120 and it's not the same

00:18:07.820 as the country?

00:18:08.600 I mean,

00:18:09.020 the country's interests

00:18:10.040 and their own

00:18:11.340 were matched.

00:18:12.800 So, you know,

00:18:13.560 if you say it's self-interest,

00:18:14.680 that's true,

00:18:15.700 but do you think

00:18:16.580 they wanted a riot

00:18:17.480 at the Capitol?

00:18:18.860 I don't think

00:18:19.260 they wanted that either.

00:18:20.380 You can want two things.

00:18:22.160 It's okay to want

00:18:23.000 two things.

00:18:24.900 All right.

00:18:30.260 So,

00:18:30.960 this whole

00:18:31.420 ivermectin thing

00:18:32.480 won't go away,

00:18:33.840 and here's just

00:18:35.580 a couple of things

00:18:37.360 that people said

00:18:38.800 about it.

00:18:40.480 Anatoly Lubarsky

00:18:41.720 was pointing out

00:18:42.560 that hydroxychloroquine

00:18:44.640 and ivermectin

00:18:45.740 both were widely

00:18:46.760 used in Peru

00:18:47.600 since the beginning

00:18:48.620 of the pandemic.

00:18:49.580 He said this

00:18:50.080 in a tweet.

00:18:51.500 And then he showed

00:18:52.220 some data that says

00:18:53.000 now Peru is leading

00:18:53.880 the world in deaths

00:18:54.780 per million

00:18:55.300 and excess deaths.

00:18:58.740 So,

00:18:59.220 I had asked,

00:18:59.800 is there any country

00:19:00.620 that just went,

00:19:01.720 you know,

00:19:02.200 wild with ivermectin

00:19:03.900 or hydroxychloroquine

00:19:05.300 and got a good result?

00:19:07.020 Well,

00:19:07.440 we know there's one

00:19:08.120 that used it heavily

00:19:09.760 and got a bad result.

00:19:11.000 Doesn't mean because of it.

00:19:13.280 Yeah,

00:19:13.720 we could have

00:19:14.240 also bad information

00:19:15.960 or something.

00:19:17.640 And then another doctor

00:19:19.060 was pointing out

00:19:19.840 and I only heard

00:19:21.740 this yesterday

00:19:22.340 but it sounds

00:19:22.880 about right,

00:19:24.220 that some trials

00:19:25.060 showing the effect,

00:19:26.780 at least ivermectin's

00:19:27.940 positive effects

00:19:28.980 for COVID

00:19:29.600 were either frauds,

00:19:31.720 so we do know

00:19:32.460 that some of the

00:19:32.980 ivermectin studies

00:19:33.980 were frauds, 0.51

00:19:34.860 not all of them,

00:19:36.040 but apparently

00:19:36.760 some of the biggest

00:19:37.660 benefit ones

00:19:39.220 were frauds

00:19:40.120 and that skews

00:19:40.920 the rest of them.

00:19:41.500 if you're doing

00:19:43.500 a meta-analysis

00:19:44.360 is skews the average.

00:19:46.440 But also,

00:19:48.100 it turns out

00:19:48.680 that some of the

00:19:49.500 benefits of ivermectin

00:19:50.720 could be explained

00:19:51.720 by co-infection

00:19:53.060 with worms.

00:19:54.580 In other words,

00:19:55.280 it's a bad deal

00:19:56.360 to have worms in you

00:19:58.380 at the same time

00:19:59.160 you get infected

00:20:00.080 with COVID

00:20:00.600 because you get

00:20:01.720 a double whammy.

00:20:03.560 So it makes

00:20:04.760 perfect sense

00:20:05.500 that if you treated

00:20:06.400 the worms

00:20:07.020 with ivermectin

00:20:08.500 and that made

00:20:10.280 a difference,

00:20:11.500 that that would

00:20:11.980 seem to have

00:20:12.720 an effect

00:20:13.140 on the COVID

00:20:14.020 recovery

00:20:14.520 because you go

00:20:15.680 from two big

00:20:16.300 problems to one.

00:20:18.460 So that could

00:20:19.160 be blinding us

00:20:20.100 to the actual

00:20:20.860 effects of

00:20:21.880 ivermectin

00:20:23.000 on COVID.

00:20:24.980 Now,

00:20:25.660 I know that

00:20:26.520 you don't believe

00:20:27.160 this.

00:20:28.600 Yeah,

00:20:28.880 somebody's saying

00:20:29.340 Japan,

00:20:29.960 lowest case

00:20:30.640 in the world.

00:20:31.760 Do you know

00:20:33.120 that there's

00:20:34.100 no bad cases

00:20:35.180 in any Asian

00:20:35.860 country?

00:20:36.920 Can somebody

00:20:37.400 confirm that?

00:20:39.000 Can I get

00:20:39.380 a confirmation

00:20:39.900 that there's

00:20:40.320 no bad

00:20:40.980 case in

00:20:42.020 any Asian

00:20:42.680 country?

00:20:43.520 So if you're

00:20:44.020 looking at

00:20:44.480 any Western

00:20:45.100 country,

00:20:46.520 I'm not going

00:20:47.140 to count

00:20:47.360 India,

00:20:47.960 so I'm going

00:20:48.280 to count,

00:20:49.660 I'm going to

00:20:50.020 count,

00:20:51.280 yeah,

00:20:51.620 India is

00:20:52.320 part of the

00:20:53.760 region,

00:20:54.520 but of,

00:20:55.480 let's say,

00:20:55.940 of Asiatic

00:20:56.880 people,

00:21:00.500 where they're,

00:21:01.740 you know,

00:21:02.000 they have a,

00:21:02.800 let's say,

00:21:03.580 what's the best

00:21:04.280 thing?

00:21:06.200 Ethnically

00:21:06.680 Asian?

00:21:07.620 Because that

00:21:08.220 would not be

00:21:08.620 the case for

00:21:09.160 Indians,

00:21:09.580 right?

00:21:14.280 And part

00:21:14.900 of the

00:21:15.140 speculation is,

00:21:16.080 and by the

00:21:16.400 way,

00:21:16.620 India would 0.98

00:21:17.200 be a

00:21:18.120 counterexample

00:21:18.780 to this.

00:21:19.480 Some of the

00:21:19.960 speculation is

00:21:20.660 there might

00:21:20.960 have been

00:21:21.140 some prior

00:21:21.720 infection that

00:21:22.660 was more

00:21:23.320 Asian-centric,

00:21:25.660 and so a lot

00:21:26.100 of people have

00:21:26.620 some prior

00:21:27.120 infection in

00:21:28.420 a related

00:21:29.000 cousin coronavirus

00:21:30.500 that gives

00:21:31.380 them some

00:21:31.720 protection.

00:21:32.940 So that's

00:21:33.280 one possible.

00:21:34.320 Because a lot

00:21:35.420 of the Asian

00:21:35.780 countries are

00:21:36.340 handling it

00:21:36.840 differently.

00:21:38.320 And if

00:21:38.600 they're handling

00:21:39.020 it differently

00:21:39.660 and all

00:21:40.040 getting a

00:21:40.380 pretty good

00:21:40.740 result,

00:21:42.240 there must

00:21:42.900 be something

00:21:43.420 else going

00:21:43.960 on,

00:21:44.320 right?

00:21:45.840 But Japan

00:21:46.760 is not a

00:21:47.380 story of

00:21:47.820 ivermectin.

00:21:48.960 That's just

00:21:49.560 not true.

00:21:51.580 As far as I

00:21:52.520 know,

00:21:53.300 I could be

00:21:53.760 wrong.

00:21:55.500 But here's

00:21:58.800 my take on

00:21:59.380 it.

00:22:00.540 So would

00:22:02.240 you agree

00:22:02.660 with me that

00:22:03.300 no matter how

00:22:03.980 many smart

00:22:05.060 people,

00:22:05.440 no matter

00:22:07.940 how many

00:22:08.360 smart people

00:22:09.000 are telling

00:22:09.540 me that

00:22:10.080 ivermectin

00:22:10.760 works,

00:22:11.620 I can't

00:22:12.280 say for

00:22:12.660 sure it

00:22:12.960 doesn't.

00:22:14.440 Would you

00:22:14.820 say that's

00:22:15.240 fair?

00:22:16.400 If I were

00:22:17.140 to tell you

00:22:17.620 I am

00:22:18.040 positive this

00:22:19.180 doesn't work,

00:22:20.540 I think you

00:22:21.160 could call me 1.00

00:22:21.680 an idiot and 1.00

00:22:23.220 that should 1.00

00:22:23.640 stick.

00:22:25.000 Fair?

00:22:26.300 If I were

00:22:26.940 to tell you

00:22:27.540 that definitely

00:22:28.580 doesn't work,

00:22:30.300 I think you

00:22:30.840 could call me 1.00

00:22:31.340 an idiot for 1.00

00:22:32.740 being certain, 1.00

00:22:34.120 just for being

00:22:34.760 certain.

00:22:35.620 But suppose I

00:22:36.360 told you this,

00:22:37.480 see if this is

00:22:38.140 fair, the

00:22:39.320 longer we go

00:22:40.280 without a

00:22:41.080 confirmation,

00:22:42.380 the kind that

00:22:43.020 even the top

00:22:43.780 experts say,

00:22:44.420 oh yeah,

00:22:44.800 that's confirmation,

00:22:45.980 the longer we

00:22:46.820 go without that

00:22:47.440 confirmation,

00:22:48.100 the less likely

00:22:48.860 there's something

00:22:50.020 there.

00:22:51.740 That's just my

00:22:52.640 general feeling

00:22:53.300 about it.

00:22:53.700 Same with

00:22:54.120 hydroxychloroquine.

00:22:55.760 We've gone

00:22:56.480 long enough now

00:22:57.440 that if something

00:22:58.120 was there,

00:22:58.940 I would be

00:22:59.820 super,

00:23:00.540 super surprised.

00:23:02.180 Not 100%,

00:23:03.200 right?

00:23:04.500 I'm not even

00:23:04.980 100% on

00:23:05.660 hydroxychloroquine

00:23:06.600 and I think

00:23:07.100 that's been

00:23:08.560 more disproved

00:23:10.020 than just

00:23:11.000 about anything

00:23:11.520 by time.

00:23:13.860 So here's

00:23:15.940 my take on

00:23:16.560 this.

00:23:17.560 There's the

00:23:18.520 belief,

00:23:19.220 the people

00:23:19.540 following Dr.

00:23:20.500 McCullough

00:23:20.880 especially,

00:23:21.900 that there

00:23:22.460 might have

00:23:22.720 been some

00:23:23.280 early treatments

00:23:24.980 that the

00:23:25.920 big medicine

00:23:27.580 machine

00:23:28.300 kind of

00:23:30.900 use some

00:23:32.020 fake news

00:23:32.680 and some

00:23:34.100 shenanigans

00:23:34.660 to make us

00:23:35.300 think that

00:23:35.720 the alternatives

00:23:36.740 to vaccinations

00:23:37.560 don't work.

00:23:40.640 Okay?

00:23:41.360 So do you

00:23:42.280 believe that

00:23:43.540 big medicine,

00:23:44.600 whatever that

00:23:45.260 means,

00:23:46.020 or the big

00:23:46.460 medicine machine

00:23:47.280 which might

00:23:47.820 include,

00:23:48.380 you know,

00:23:48.660 I don't know,

00:23:49.080 the news

00:23:49.720 and the

00:23:50.700 government

00:23:50.980 somewhat,

00:23:52.220 do you think

00:23:52.680 that the

00:23:53.000 big medicine

00:23:53.500 machine

00:23:54.200 suppressed

00:23:55.480 ivermectin

00:23:57.240 just because

00:24:00.340 they didn't

00:24:00.940 want competition?

00:24:03.920 Maybe.

00:24:05.240 Here's my

00:24:05.900 take on it.

00:24:06.780 I don't think

00:24:07.460 that's the

00:24:07.880 case,

00:24:08.680 but let me

00:24:10.000 get on your

00:24:10.900 side for a

00:24:11.560 moment,

00:24:11.800 if I may.

00:24:13.040 If it ever

00:24:13.740 came out,

00:24:15.200 if it ever

00:24:15.880 came out,

00:24:16.920 that anybody

00:24:17.540 in a

00:24:18.280 professional

00:24:19.680 field

00:24:21.760 intentionally,

00:24:24.160 and the

00:24:24.720 key word

00:24:25.140 here is

00:24:25.460 intentionally,

00:24:26.160 with data,

00:24:27.240 if it ever

00:24:28.240 came out

00:24:28.660 that somebody

00:24:29.140 intentionally

00:24:29.880 killed a

00:24:31.520 treatment that

00:24:33.680 we knew to

00:24:34.300 work, or

00:24:34.860 had a high

00:24:35.400 likelihood to

00:24:35.960 work, I

00:24:37.580 would say

00:24:37.880 that's got

00:24:38.620 to be the 0.94

00:24:38.920 death sentence.

00:24:40.840 I think 0.87

00:24:41.500 that we

00:24:41.820 have to

00:24:42.120 treat big

00:24:44.140 pharma

00:24:44.720 misdeeds as

00:24:49.000 mass murder,

00:24:50.000 if it's done

00:24:50.700 intentionally.

00:24:51.460 If it's

00:24:51.940 negligence,

00:24:53.980 that's

00:24:54.500 something else.

00:24:54.900 But if we

00:24:56.480 could ever

00:24:56.900 show that

00:24:57.800 somebody knew

00:24:58.680 they were

00:24:59.820 doing something

00:25:00.400 to manipulate

00:25:01.120 public opinion,

00:25:02.520 or even

00:25:03.000 medical opinion,

00:25:03.900 or government

00:25:05.120 opinion, if we

00:25:06.420 could confirm

00:25:07.020 that somebody

00:25:07.520 did that in a

00:25:08.540 way that was

00:25:09.520 just to make

00:25:10.160 money, and

00:25:11.840 we knew that

00:25:12.400 it cost people

00:25:13.540 their lives,

00:25:14.580 what's the

00:25:15.400 penalty for that?

00:25:16.600 It should be 1.00

00:25:17.360 death. 0.99

00:25:18.580 Does anybody

00:25:19.400 disagree?

00:25:20.160 Because it

00:25:21.020 should be

00:25:21.360 about the

00:25:21.920 same as

00:25:22.300 terrorism, and

00:25:24.180 I think that

00:25:24.620 should be a 1.00

00:25:25.000 death sentence. 0.99

00:25:26.900 Because it's

00:25:27.700 mass murder, and

00:25:28.980 it's intentional

00:25:29.640 under the

00:25:30.600 hypothetical.

00:25:32.720 Now, let me

00:25:33.460 tell you that I

00:25:34.080 don't have any

00:25:34.640 information that

00:25:35.240 anything like

00:25:35.660 that has ever

00:25:36.120 happened.

00:25:38.580 Here's what I

00:25:39.400 think does

00:25:40.360 happen.

00:25:42.360 Now, here's a

00:25:43.300 view of the

00:25:44.420 world that I

00:25:45.300 suspect is

00:25:47.180 annoyingly 0.91

00:25:47.880 accurate.

00:25:48.300 which is

00:25:50.680 that people

00:25:51.460 only know

00:25:52.360 what they

00:25:52.860 decide they

00:25:53.480 want to

00:25:53.900 know, right?

00:25:55.160 So let's

00:25:55.680 say you

00:25:56.060 were a

00:25:56.520 vaccine

00:25:57.180 executive, and

00:25:59.940 you were

00:26:00.200 trying to

00:26:00.540 make billions

00:26:01.300 of dollars,

00:26:02.160 a trillion

00:26:02.500 dollars on

00:26:03.200 vaccines.

00:26:04.720 And somebody

00:26:05.180 came to you

00:26:05.700 and said,

00:26:06.440 well, what

00:26:07.020 are we

00:26:07.240 saying about

00:26:07.780 ivermectin?

00:26:08.760 There's all

00:26:09.260 these meta

00:26:10.000 studies that

00:26:10.640 show that it

00:26:11.200 works, and

00:26:13.140 a lot of

00:26:14.160 serious people

00:26:14.980 say it

00:26:15.400 works.

00:26:15.700 Yeah,

00:26:18.340 OxyContin's

00:26:19.420 a good

00:26:19.720 cautionary

00:26:20.580 tale, you're

00:26:20.960 right.

00:26:22.520 So what's

00:26:23.240 the more

00:26:23.520 likely thing

00:26:24.820 that an

00:26:25.600 executive of

00:26:26.440 a drug

00:26:26.800 company would

00:26:27.320 say?

00:26:28.220 Well, if

00:26:29.260 it were me

00:26:29.820 and I

00:26:30.420 were a

00:26:30.720 weasel, I'd

00:26:31.880 say, don't

00:26:33.220 show me any

00:26:33.860 ivermectin

00:26:34.460 data, ever.

00:26:37.920 Until

00:26:38.400 somebody

00:26:39.040 official says

00:26:39.820 it's proven

00:26:40.340 and it

00:26:40.700 works, which

00:26:41.240 hasn't

00:26:41.520 happened, I'm

00:26:43.740 going to say

00:26:44.180 it's not

00:26:44.660 proven and it

00:26:45.220 doesn't work

00:26:45.740 and so we

00:26:46.160 better get

00:26:46.560 these

00:26:46.760 vaccinations.

00:26:48.560 Now, is

00:26:50.000 that a

00:26:50.260 crime?

00:26:52.920 Because they're

00:26:53.840 just willfully

00:26:54.740 keeping

00:26:56.220 themselves away

00:26:57.020 from a

00:26:57.400 certain kind

00:26:57.860 of information

00:26:58.520 because they

00:27:00.240 feel that they

00:27:00.820 have enough.

00:27:02.480 Not exactly.

00:27:04.740 So I think

00:27:05.460 that you can

00:27:05.860 get a situation

00:27:06.500 where a lot

00:27:07.180 of people

00:27:07.500 would be

00:27:07.880 making choices

00:27:08.700 that coincidentally

00:27:10.820 are good for

00:27:12.180 their financial

00:27:13.560 futures and

00:27:15.100 may be bad

00:27:15.720 for the

00:27:15.980 world.

00:27:17.320 I'm just

00:27:17.900 going to say

00:27:18.240 that I don't

00:27:18.720 think if you

00:27:19.840 look like you're

00:27:20.520 going to make

00:27:20.820 billions of

00:27:21.400 dollars from

00:27:21.880 vaccinations,

00:27:22.900 you're not

00:27:23.540 going to dig

00:27:24.120 too hard to

00:27:24.900 find an

00:27:25.320 alternative to

00:27:26.040 it.

00:27:27.040 And you're

00:27:27.360 not going to

00:27:27.700 say anything

00:27:28.120 good about

00:27:28.640 it.

00:27:29.220 And if you're

00:27:29.720 talking to a

00:27:30.300 politician,

00:27:30.940 you're going

00:27:31.160 to say,

00:27:31.440 look, vaccines

00:27:32.880 will probably

00:27:33.400 work because

00:27:34.060 that's who you

00:27:34.600 work for.

00:27:35.880 But ivermectin,

00:27:37.300 that's not your

00:27:38.200 product.

00:27:39.020 So you say,

00:27:40.160 you know, a lot

00:27:41.000 of people are

00:27:41.380 warning against it.

00:27:42.200 A lot of

00:27:42.900 people are

00:27:43.220 calling it

00:27:43.560 horse medicine.

00:27:44.220 You could

00:27:44.460 just talk it

00:27:45.100 down without

00:27:46.240 saying anything

00:27:46.900 untrue.

00:27:48.760 My suspicion is

00:27:50.260 that the, you

00:27:52.040 know, big

00:27:53.140 medicine machine

00:27:54.000 did try to

00:27:54.760 kill these 0.94

00:27:55.180 things, these 1.00

00:27:55.800 competing things,

00:27:57.020 but that they

00:27:58.040 also thought they

00:27:58.860 probably didn't

00:27:59.440 work.

00:28:01.460 So I can't

00:28:02.760 take the side

00:28:03.360 that says they

00:28:04.300 knew they

00:28:04.700 worked and they

00:28:05.560 tried to suppress

00:28:06.540 them anyway.

00:28:07.980 I haven't seen

00:28:08.800 anything like that.

00:28:09.620 Or the one

00:28:11.080 that says they

00:28:13.320 definitely don't

00:28:14.360 work, blah, blah,

00:28:15.780 because I don't

00:28:16.300 know.

00:28:17.200 So I'm on the

00:28:17.820 side that says

00:28:18.460 probably the

00:28:19.720 people who were

00:28:20.620 trying to suppress

00:28:22.100 it suspected it

00:28:23.220 might have worked,

00:28:24.140 but they were

00:28:24.800 using the fact

00:28:25.500 that it wasn't

00:28:26.000 proven to

00:28:27.740 further their

00:28:28.440 financial gain,

00:28:29.400 which is not

00:28:30.820 illegal.

00:28:31.800 I don't think

00:28:32.580 it's illegal.

00:28:33.180 It's more like

00:28:33.560 marketing,

00:28:34.480 unfortunately.

00:28:34.860 Now, there's

00:28:40.120 also the

00:28:41.060 belief, which I

00:28:43.940 see a lot, that

00:28:45.380 the real reason

00:28:46.040 that the cheaper

00:28:47.140 alternatives to

00:28:48.520 vaccinations were

00:28:49.420 not pursued is

00:28:50.380 that if they

00:28:50.980 existed, the

00:28:52.340 vaccines could

00:28:53.200 not get their

00:28:53.840 emergency

00:28:54.480 authorization.

00:28:55.700 How many of you

00:28:56.160 believe that

00:28:56.740 that's true?

00:28:59.140 Do you believe

00:29:00.000 it's true that

00:29:01.280 alternatives were

00:29:02.320 suppressed because

00:29:03.960 the medical

00:29:04.460 community wanted

00:29:05.660 vaccinations to

00:29:06.600 be the thing?

00:29:11.820 Here's a

00:29:12.420 perfectly good

00:29:13.060 study.

00:29:13.840 No, there's

00:29:14.340 no such thing

00:29:14.860 as a perfectly

00:29:15.380 good study,

00:29:16.620 Spectre.

00:29:18.180 Yeah, showing

00:29:19.000 me a study on

00:29:19.660 ivermectin isn't

00:29:20.440 going to have

00:29:21.400 any impact on

00:29:22.120 me because the

00:29:23.260 studies we know

00:29:24.100 are so often

00:29:24.920 fraudulent, I

00:29:25.660 just wouldn't

00:29:26.040 know what I'm

00:29:26.380 looking at.

00:29:27.420 Wouldn't know

00:29:28.020 if it was a

00:29:28.440 good study or

00:29:28.980 not.

00:29:30.760 All right, so

00:29:31.500 here's my take

00:29:32.820 on the belief

00:29:33.940 that we

00:29:34.980 couldn't get

00:29:35.460 an emergency

00:29:35.940 authorization for

00:29:37.160 vaccines if

00:29:38.480 we found that

00:29:39.380 there was an

00:29:40.400 alternative.

00:29:42.140 Who do you

00:29:42.860 think was

00:29:43.200 making that

00:29:43.640 decision?

00:29:45.300 Do you think

00:29:45.720 the Trump

00:29:46.300 administration was

00:29:48.180 presented with

00:29:48.940 this alternative?

00:29:49.800 Hey, Mr.

00:29:50.260 Trump, we

00:29:51.960 could not only

00:29:52.880 get vaccinations,

00:29:54.360 but we could be

00:29:55.560 treating the

00:29:56.060 heck out of

00:29:56.520 this with

00:29:57.000 these therapeutics

00:29:57.980 until the

00:29:59.080 vaccinations get

00:29:59.960 there, and

00:30:01.220 the only problem

00:30:01.820 is if they work,

00:30:03.240 we can't get the

00:30:03.900 emergency

00:30:04.340 authorization.

00:30:06.060 Mr.

00:30:06.700 President Trump,

00:30:07.560 so what do

00:30:08.020 we do?

00:30:09.460 Does Trump

00:30:10.020 say, oh, 1.00

00:30:11.340 damn, I 0.99

00:30:13.200 guess we'll 1.00

00:30:13.560 have to

00:30:13.940 suppress all

00:30:14.700 those excellent

00:30:15.400 treatments to

00:30:17.460 wait for the

00:30:17.940 vaccination?

00:30:19.380 Do you imagine

00:30:20.160 that's how that

00:30:20.720 conversation went?

00:30:23.980 Do you think

00:30:24.640 that Trump was

00:30:25.560 presented with

00:30:26.300 the choice of

00:30:27.540 totally good

00:30:28.700 therapeutics, and

00:30:30.580 that he said,

00:30:31.940 no, don't push

00:30:32.920 those, because

00:30:33.580 then the

00:30:34.080 emergency

00:30:34.500 authorization won't

00:30:35.560 work?

00:30:36.860 Does that sound

00:30:37.680 like something

00:30:38.080 Trump would

00:30:38.540 do?

00:30:43.380 Have you 0.99

00:30:43.980 ever fucking 1.00

00:30:44.920 met Trump? 0.99

00:30:47.200 No.

00:30:48.080 No.

00:30:48.600 No.

00:30:49.440 No.

00:30:50.360 Hold on.

00:30:51.060 Whoever's, I'm

00:30:52.580 going to get rid 0.99

00:30:53.040 of you for being 1.00

00:30:53.560 an asshole. 1.00

00:30:55.260 Top naivety 1.00

00:30:56.220 today.

00:30:57.280 See, that's the

00:30:58.040 kind of comment

00:30:59.960 that you're

00:31:01.040 either new to

00:31:01.920 me, or

00:31:02.720 you're just 1.00

00:31:04.600 an asshole. 1.00

00:31:06.220 All right. 1.00

00:31:08.300 I believe it

00:31:09.400 is impossible,

00:31:11.700 literally impossible

00:31:12.620 to imagine,

00:31:14.000 that President

00:31:16.100 Trump would

00:31:16.780 say, oh,

00:31:17.720 there's nothing

00:31:18.260 I can do when

00:31:19.540 he's handing

00:31:20.120 out executive

00:31:20.880 orders like

00:31:21.580 candy.

00:31:22.780 In the middle

00:31:23.500 of the pandemic,

00:31:25.300 Trump would

00:31:26.420 have said,

00:31:27.740 and I can't

00:31:28.320 read minds,

00:31:28.980 but I'm

00:31:29.200 pretty confident

00:31:29.920 about this

00:31:30.420 one, because

00:31:32.140 anybody would

00:31:32.720 have done

00:31:32.960 this.

00:31:34.020 Literally

00:31:34.500 anybody would

00:31:36.000 have said,

00:31:36.400 wait a minute,

00:31:37.160 the only thing

00:31:37.940 that's keeping

00:31:38.480 this from not

00:31:39.680 happening is

00:31:40.560 that there's

00:31:41.440 some rule?

00:31:43.040 Oh, give me

00:31:43.720 an executive

00:31:44.180 order, we'll

00:31:44.680 get rid of

00:31:45.020 that by this

00:31:45.740 afternoon.

00:31:47.160 Now, suppose

00:31:47.900 it wasn't

00:31:48.320 Trump himself.

00:31:50.320 Suppose Trump

00:31:50.940 never heard that

00:31:51.620 proposition, but

00:31:52.980 rather members

00:31:54.260 of staff heard

00:31:54.980 it.

00:31:55.180 was there

00:31:56.120 a member

00:31:56.440 of the

00:31:56.680 staff who

00:31:57.160 said, well,

00:31:58.200 I could

00:31:58.580 take this

00:31:59.060 idea to

00:31:59.580 the president

00:32:00.080 and it

00:32:01.380 would solve

00:32:01.820 the pandemic,

00:32:03.320 but I don't

00:32:05.280 think I want

00:32:05.820 to because I

00:32:07.180 want those 0.93

00:32:07.560 vaccinations.

00:32:08.980 Do you

00:32:09.420 think that

00:32:09.760 happened?

00:32:11.600 No.

00:32:12.440 So the part

00:32:12.960 of the story

00:32:13.440 that's clearly

00:32:14.140 missing is the

00:32:16.280 part where

00:32:16.720 somebody in

00:32:17.360 the administration

00:32:17.940 actually made

00:32:18.960 that decision.

00:32:20.900 Nobody would

00:32:21.540 make that

00:32:21.920 decision.

00:32:23.480 The vaccination

00:32:24.540 or the

00:32:25.260 pharma

00:32:26.620 companies might

00:32:27.280 make that

00:32:27.660 decision, but

00:32:28.720 they're not

00:32:29.000 in the

00:32:29.200 government.

00:32:30.360 You're telling

00:32:30.800 me that, I

00:32:32.500 don't know,

00:32:32.860 Trump and his

00:32:33.480 whole administration

00:32:34.280 were all

00:32:34.760 bribed by

00:32:35.840 big pharma to

00:32:37.500 ignore the

00:32:38.100 other treatments

00:32:38.780 when obviously

00:32:39.480 the other

00:32:39.920 treatments would

00:32:40.520 have made

00:32:41.240 Trump president

00:32:41.960 for a second

00:32:42.480 term.

00:32:43.320 You're telling

00:32:43.880 me Trump

00:32:44.260 would give

00:32:44.600 up a second

00:32:45.180 term just

00:32:47.000 so the

00:32:47.320 vaccinations

00:32:47.800 would be the

00:32:48.440 only thing.

00:32:48.880 It's not

00:32:50.440 good for

00:32:50.820 Trump.

00:32:51.780 It wouldn't

00:32:52.280 be good for

00:32:52.700 anybody on

00:32:53.220 his team.

00:32:54.440 So you'd

00:32:54.860 have to

00:32:55.280 assume that

00:32:56.540 Trump and

00:32:57.040 his entire

00:32:57.540 team acted

00:32:58.320 against their

00:32:59.260 own interests

00:33:00.080 for that

00:33:00.780 theory to

00:33:01.920 make sense.

00:33:05.040 And layers

00:33:05.780 of censorship

00:33:06.400 and threats

00:33:07.020 of losing

00:33:07.440 one's life?

00:33:08.180 No, because

00:33:08.660 every citizen

00:33:10.020 knew about

00:33:10.720 this trade-off.

00:33:11.980 It's not

00:33:12.460 reasonable to

00:33:13.100 assume that

00:33:13.620 his staff

00:33:14.240 working on

00:33:15.480 this issue

00:33:16.100 weren't also

00:33:17.480 aware of the

00:33:18.120 rumors, at

00:33:18.720 least, that

00:33:20.300 the emergency

00:33:22.100 authorization was

00:33:23.180 holding things

00:33:23.760 up.

00:33:24.360 They would

00:33:24.740 have known

00:33:25.040 that.

00:33:25.600 We all

00:33:25.940 knew it.

00:33:26.840 If the

00:33:27.180 public knew

00:33:27.700 it, they

00:33:28.040 obviously

00:33:28.440 knew it.

00:33:30.700 Deep

00:33:31.180 stayed in

00:33:31.680 bed with

00:33:32.100 pharma doesn't

00:33:33.240 work that

00:33:33.640 way.

00:33:34.640 It doesn't

00:33:35.060 work that

00:33:35.440 way.

00:33:36.080 If you're

00:33:36.880 an underling,

00:33:38.440 you might

00:33:38.860 take a

00:33:39.240 bribe or be

00:33:39.920 influenced by

00:33:40.540 big pharma.

00:33:41.820 If there's

00:33:42.600 something that

00:33:43.080 doesn't matter

00:33:43.620 to your

00:33:43.960 political

00:33:44.300 future, even

00:33:46.100 if you're a

00:33:46.980 top politician,

00:33:47.700 well, you

00:33:48.360 might be

00:33:48.700 influenced by

00:33:49.280 big pharma.

00:33:50.480 But if

00:33:51.080 there's a

00:33:51.440 direct choice

00:33:52.300 between getting

00:33:53.500 re-elected or

00:33:54.960 doing what

00:33:55.460 big pharma

00:33:56.240 wants, you

00:33:57.460 tell me that

00:33:58.020 Trump chose

00:33:58.840 to do what

00:33:59.420 big pharma

00:33:59.940 wanted instead

00:34:01.200 of getting

00:34:01.560 re-elected for

00:34:02.260 a second

00:34:02.580 term.

00:34:03.440 In no

00:34:03.980 world did

00:34:04.540 that happen.

00:34:05.600 In no

00:34:05.960 world did

00:34:07.100 that happen.

00:34:09.780 All right?

00:34:10.420 Trump is as

00:34:12.220 close as you

00:34:12.920 can get to

00:34:13.520 incorruptible on

00:34:15.100 a question

00:34:15.600 limited to

00:34:16.420 that.

00:34:16.760 Any other

00:34:18.640 question, you

00:34:19.620 know, you're

00:34:19.920 on your

00:34:20.180 own.

00:34:20.920 But on the

00:34:21.360 very limited

00:34:22.140 question of

00:34:22.780 did he want

00:34:23.240 to get

00:34:23.480 re-elected,

00:34:24.940 no, there

00:34:25.300 wasn't any

00:34:25.820 bribe that

00:34:26.220 was big

00:34:26.520 enough.

00:34:27.480 There's no

00:34:27.920 bribe big

00:34:28.380 enough that

00:34:28.720 would have

00:34:28.920 kept him

00:34:29.300 from wanting

00:34:29.680 to get

00:34:29.980 re-elected.

00:34:31.040 I feel very

00:34:31.780 confident about

00:34:32.420 that.

00:34:32.980 Can't read

00:34:33.380 minds, could

00:34:34.600 be surprised,

00:34:36.000 nothing's 100%.

00:34:37.200 But really, if

00:34:39.420 you believe the

00:34:40.300 emergency

00:34:40.740 authorization held

00:34:41.920 things up,

00:34:43.040 you've got a lot

00:34:44.160 of assumptions that

00:34:45.000 you need to wrap

00:34:45.720 around that to

00:34:46.380 hold it together.

00:34:47.540 I just don't see

00:34:48.420 how it can be

00:34:48.960 done.

00:34:50.100 But I could be

00:34:50.820 wrong.

00:34:51.600 There could be

00:34:52.280 some twist to

00:34:53.040 this that I

00:34:53.560 don't see.

00:34:54.680 Could be

00:34:55.200 wrong.

00:34:56.680 All right.

00:34:57.460 But I do

00:34:57.960 think if we

00:34:58.560 find anybody in

00:34:59.660 big pharma who

00:35:00.460 is doing that

00:35:01.100 sort of thing,

00:35:01.880 the death

00:35:02.240 sentence is not

00:35:03.260 too strong.

00:35:04.860 It should be 1.00

00:35:05.320 the death 1.00

00:35:05.680 sentence.

00:35:07.020 And by the

00:35:07.440 way, we should

00:35:07.960 put that out

00:35:08.540 there.

00:35:08.820 It should be

00:35:09.100 actually, I

00:35:09.740 think we should

00:35:10.140 put it into

00:35:10.560 law.

00:35:10.920 We should

00:35:12.040 say that if

00:35:12.600 big pharma hides

00:35:14.260 information that

00:35:15.140 causes mass

00:35:16.400 casualties, that

00:35:17.380 that should be a

00:35:17.920 death sentence. 1.00

00:35:19.360 Because you need 0.95

00:35:20.100 to put that fear

00:35:20.900 into them.

00:35:22.280 Because, you

00:35:22.660 know, I think a

00:35:23.480 career criminal

00:35:24.200 might not care

00:35:25.260 about the death

00:35:25.840 sentence.

00:35:27.200 But if you're an

00:35:28.420 executive and

00:35:29.220 you're just doing

00:35:29.680 stuff for money,

00:35:30.600 you might care

00:35:31.300 about the death

00:35:31.860 sentence.

00:35:33.020 You might care

00:35:33.920 about that a lot.

00:35:36.600 All right.

00:35:37.000 So Omicron is

00:35:37.920 out competing Delta,

00:35:39.060 we hear today.

00:35:40.920 And that one

00:35:43.240 death in Great

00:35:44.140 Britain, or the 0.88

00:35:45.100 UK, that we

00:35:46.580 heard about, there

00:35:47.440 was somebody who

00:35:47.980 died with Omicron.

00:35:50.640 CNN has now

00:35:51.560 converted dying

00:35:52.660 with Omicron to

00:35:54.560 dying of Omicron.

00:35:57.200 So it made that a

00:35:58.200 subtle shift of

00:35:59.680 dying with it, that

00:36:01.040 could have been a

00:36:01.500 coincidence, to

00:36:03.160 dying of it.

00:36:05.220 I don't know that

00:36:06.340 that was supported

00:36:07.040 by the facts.

00:36:08.080 Could be.

00:36:08.920 It could be that

00:36:09.580 they have better

00:36:10.140 information about

00:36:10.860 what that one 0.87

00:36:11.520 patient experienced.

00:36:13.600 But I doubt it.

00:36:15.160 I doubt it.

00:36:17.000 All right.

00:36:19.040 And we are still

00:36:19.960 being told that

00:36:20.700 even if Omicron

00:36:21.620 is mild, we

00:36:22.380 should not get

00:36:23.080 too complacent

00:36:24.920 because the

00:36:25.680 sheer volume of

00:36:27.040 this mildness

00:36:27.780 might crash

00:36:28.900 the hospitals.

00:36:31.920 Wait.

00:36:32.940 Wait.

00:36:33.500 What?

00:36:35.700 We should not

00:36:36.460 be complacent

00:36:37.360 even if it's

00:36:39.020 mild, because

00:36:41.420 there would be

00:36:41.800 so much

00:36:42.340 mildness, it

00:36:44.800 would crash

00:36:45.260 our health

00:36:46.240 care.

00:36:46.460 Do you think

00:36:49.500 somebody is

00:36:50.200 trying to

00:36:51.240 brainwash you

00:36:52.880 into getting

00:36:53.580 vaccinated?

00:36:56.380 Because this

00:36:57.220 doesn't even

00:36:57.680 make sense.

00:36:59.380 Here's how it

00:37:00.100 would make sense

00:37:00.680 if they were not

00:37:01.300 trying to brainwash

00:37:02.220 you.

00:37:02.400 There are a

00:37:04.080 couple of

00:37:04.360 different ways

00:37:04.860 this Omicron

00:37:05.600 could go.

00:37:06.740 It could be the

00:37:07.460 thing that solves

00:37:08.140 all of our

00:37:08.580 problems and

00:37:09.160 turns out to be

00:37:09.780 more of a

00:37:10.240 vaccination than

00:37:11.120 a virus.

00:37:12.280 Or, this is a

00:37:13.700 real possibility,

00:37:14.960 we could be

00:37:15.520 underestimating it

00:37:16.440 and it could be a

00:37:17.060 big problem.

00:37:18.940 Wouldn't that be

00:37:19.660 fair?

00:37:20.940 Did I say

00:37:21.560 something that was

00:37:22.420 unreasonable?

00:37:23.800 Given that we

00:37:24.500 don't know, it

00:37:26.540 could be a

00:37:27.080 vaccination and

00:37:27.940 it could be more

00:37:28.600 of a problem

00:37:29.100 than we think.

00:37:30.320 But to say one

00:37:31.440 person died of

00:37:32.380 it, which

00:37:32.760 probably we

00:37:33.540 can't even

00:37:34.000 confirm, and

00:37:35.680 it's so mild,

00:37:36.640 there could be a

00:37:37.260 lot of this

00:37:37.660 mildness, isn't

00:37:38.880 that exactly what

00:37:39.860 we want?

00:37:41.020 Lots of mild

00:37:41.920 virus?

00:37:43.260 What could be

00:37:43.840 better than a

00:37:44.580 super fast,

00:37:45.720 mild coronavirus

00:37:47.260 that is vaccinating

00:37:48.760 us from the

00:37:49.760 Delta?

00:37:50.740 Because I think

00:37:51.340 that's what it

00:37:51.860 does.

00:37:52.880 Yeah, when

00:37:55.200 you see the

00:37:55.780 news treated

00:37:56.600 this way, I

00:37:57.280 mean, this is

00:37:57.740 so not an

00:37:59.140 objective look at

00:38:00.000 the news.

00:38:01.480 All right.

00:38:03.360 Talk about

00:38:04.120 timing.

00:38:05.560 Who has the

00:38:06.160 best timing in

00:38:06.860 the world?

00:38:07.360 Well, sometimes

00:38:08.840 me, sometimes

00:38:10.080 me.

00:38:11.160 Do you remember

00:38:11.700 yesterday I was

00:38:12.500 giving, I think

00:38:13.420 it was yesterday,

00:38:14.500 the day before I

00:38:15.260 was giving you

00:38:15.760 the best ofs for

00:38:17.780 the year?

00:38:18.820 Was that

00:38:19.180 yesterday?

00:38:20.400 And I called

00:38:21.440 out the most

00:38:22.160 persuasive person

00:38:23.280 was Michael

00:38:24.360 Schellenberger.

00:38:25.840 And I said

00:38:26.500 that he'd

00:38:26.920 moved the

00:38:27.480 needle on

00:38:28.600 people's opinion

00:38:29.600 about nuclear

00:38:30.380 energy from

00:38:31.700 half of the

00:38:32.720 country being

00:38:33.220 negative to

00:38:33.920 literally everybody's

00:38:35.000 on board now.

00:38:36.160 Basically, the

00:38:37.000 entire country

00:38:38.100 turned pro-nuclear

00:38:39.020 at just about the

00:38:41.180 time he was

00:38:41.720 doing the most,

00:38:44.780 I'll use this

00:38:46.320 phrase, nuclear-powered

00:38:47.760 persuasion on it.

00:38:48.700 I think he

00:38:50.220 actually turned

00:38:50.840 the boat, but it

00:38:52.500 gets better.

00:38:53.460 I mentioned, just

00:38:54.300 as an aside, I

00:38:55.780 said that he'd

00:38:56.420 changed his focus

00:38:57.420 recently to San

00:38:59.360 Francisco.

00:39:00.000 He's got a book

00:39:00.660 out called San

00:39:01.540 Francisco, which is

00:39:03.840 doing really well.

00:39:04.920 You should read it.

00:39:06.320 And he's going

00:39:08.080 after the, you

00:39:09.600 know, San

00:39:09.920 Francisco in

00:39:10.720 particular, their

00:39:11.900 management of the

00:39:13.080 homelessness and the

00:39:14.820 drugs and the

00:39:15.440 crime.

00:39:15.700 And he had a

00:39:17.520 bunch of real

00:39:19.240 world solutions, so

00:39:20.740 it wasn't just

00:39:21.340 complaining, it was

00:39:22.280 saying other places

00:39:24.180 have done these

00:39:24.840 things, these things

00:39:25.720 work, the things

00:39:26.940 they're doing don't

00:39:27.720 work, blah, blah,

00:39:28.780 blah, blah, blah.

00:39:29.660 And he was really

00:39:30.840 pounding it hard.

00:39:32.380 I mean, really

00:39:32.860 talking to the right

00:39:33.640 people, tweeting,

00:39:35.340 writing articles that

00:39:36.240 were just pure fire,

00:39:38.440 and showing data to

00:39:40.960 back everything up.

00:39:42.100 I mean, just really

00:39:43.220 persuasive stuff.

00:39:44.260 yesterday, San

00:39:47.020 Francisco Mayor

00:39:47.860 London Breed just

00:39:50.360 gave a press

00:39:51.800 release, and she 0.98

00:39:53.240 has announced a

00:39:54.060 major crackdown on

00:39:55.280 crime, including

00:39:56.840 open-air drug

00:39:57.840 dealing, which was

00:39:59.380 Michael Schellenberger's

00:40:01.420 one of his biggest

00:40:02.160 focuses, car break-ins

00:40:03.960 and retail theft.

00:40:06.160 And as Michael

00:40:07.520 points out in his

00:40:08.320 own tweet about it,

00:40:09.100 he says the plan

00:40:09.760 contains much of

00:40:11.360 what I and my

00:40:12.040 colleagues at

00:40:13.000 California Peace

00:40:14.040 have been advocating. 1.00

00:40:17.940 Damn. 0.99

00:40:19.580 He actually got 1.00

00:40:20.680 this done.

00:40:22.240 What?

00:40:23.600 What?

00:40:24.960 He actually got

00:40:26.120 this done.

00:40:28.600 So London Breed 0.72

00:40:29.760 went on further,

00:40:30.760 the mayor of San

00:40:31.740 Francisco, and says

00:40:33.420 we need to change

00:40:34.080 course in how we

00:40:34.800 handle public safety

00:40:35.800 in San Francisco.

00:40:36.640 We can't be a

00:40:37.820 place where

00:40:38.300 anything goes on

00:40:40.860 the street.

00:40:42.320 Today, I am

00:40:43.020 announcing a series

00:40:43.820 of new steps

00:40:44.700 to address public

00:40:46.180 safety in our

00:40:46.920 city.

00:40:49.960 Boom.

00:40:51.520 Boom.

00:40:52.980 I called that

00:40:53.920 yesterday.

00:40:55.920 I called that

00:40:56.820 yesterday.

00:40:58.020 Now, Bradley

00:40:58.680 says it was an

00:40:59.460 accident.

00:41:00.340 It wasn't.

00:41:01.620 It wasn't.

00:41:02.180 I can tell you

00:41:03.720 that Michael

00:41:04.480 Schellenberger

00:41:05.160 had burrowed

00:41:06.180 deeply into

00:41:07.280 all of the

00:41:08.760 heads of the

00:41:09.640 decision makers

00:41:10.400 because he does

00:41:11.760 have that skill.

00:41:17.440 Well, Merry

00:41:18.160 Christmas

00:41:18.660 at the Venice

00:41:21.080 Beach Dub

00:41:22.080 Club.

00:41:22.920 Even though you

00:41:23.540 don't agree with

00:41:24.160 me, Merry

00:41:24.700 Christmas to you.

00:41:25.340 And Merry

00:41:25.660 Christmas to

00:41:26.180 everybody who

00:41:26.680 doesn't agree

00:41:27.160 with me.

00:41:28.240 Speaking of

00:41:28.920 agreeing with me,

00:41:29.640 I ran this

00:41:30.580 obnoxious poll,

00:41:32.620 possibly the

00:41:33.800 most obnoxious

00:41:34.640 thing I've ever

00:41:35.280 done, and I've

00:41:36.500 done a lot of

00:41:37.060 obnoxious things.

00:41:38.640 This is the most

00:41:39.520 obnoxious thing

00:41:40.260 I've done, well,

00:41:41.020 recently, this

00:41:42.180 week.

00:41:43.460 I ran a poll

00:41:44.460 and it said

00:41:45.000 this, if you

00:41:46.100 saw me,

00:41:47.260 specifically me,

00:41:48.860 disagreeing with

00:41:49.640 the top expert

00:41:50.520 in a field in

00:41:51.780 which I have no

00:41:52.560 experience, but

00:41:54.300 I'm only

00:41:54.600 disagreeing on

00:41:55.180 one specific

00:41:55.900 point within the

00:41:56.700 field, who

00:41:57.980 would you bet

00:41:58.540 on?

00:41:59.640 If you didn't

00:42:00.360 know anything

00:42:00.800 else about the

00:42:01.480 topic.

00:42:02.000 So, no fair

00:42:02.700 saying, I need

00:42:03.380 to know more

00:42:03.820 about the

00:42:04.160 topic.

00:42:04.840 You have to

00:42:05.400 bet whose

00:42:06.640 side you're

00:42:07.180 on without

00:42:07.700 knowing anything

00:42:09.960 else.

00:42:14.140 And why

00:42:14.580 would you bet

00:42:15.780 on the expert

00:42:16.420 or why would

00:42:17.180 you bet on

00:42:17.640 me?

00:42:24.040 I see

00:42:24.700 expert, I

00:42:25.820 see some

00:42:26.320 people agree

00:42:26.840 with me, and

00:42:28.680 I'm seeing on

00:42:29.220 locals, they're

00:42:29.840 saying my

00:42:30.260 history of

00:42:31.020 prediction.

00:42:32.580 All right,

00:42:32.900 here's the

00:42:33.360 answer.

00:42:34.700 You should

00:42:35.260 bet on me.

00:42:37.380 Right?

00:42:38.080 And I

00:42:38.680 realize how

00:42:40.200 Dr. Robert

00:42:43.740 Johnson is

00:42:44.380 saying, bet

00:42:45.040 on Scott.

00:42:46.280 All right,

00:42:46.940 here's the

00:42:47.940 reason why

00:42:48.560 the answer

00:42:49.000 is me.

00:42:50.960 Number one,

00:42:52.740 and here's the

00:42:53.520 trick part of

00:42:54.060 the question.

00:42:55.040 The important

00:42:55.780 part of the

00:42:56.120 question is I'm

00:42:56.780 disagreeing on

00:42:57.320 one specific

00:42:58.120 point.

00:42:59.900 If I looked at

00:43:00.820 everything the

00:43:01.420 expert said, I'm

00:43:03.500 not questioning

00:43:04.300 it.

00:43:05.160 So the only

00:43:06.040 situation in

00:43:06.880 which there

00:43:07.220 would ever be a

00:43:07.980 disagreement

00:43:08.460 between me and

00:43:10.920 an expert who

00:43:11.700 is a top expert

00:43:12.480 in the field,

00:43:13.200 the only time I

00:43:14.320 would ever

00:43:14.660 disagree is if I

00:43:16.400 saw one little

00:43:17.100 thing where my

00:43:18.660 special skills of 0.98

00:43:19.860 bullshit detection 0.99

00:43:20.900 could just see it 0.99

00:43:22.480 clearly.

00:43:22.760 So in other

00:43:24.400 words, I

00:43:25.000 wouldn't take a

00:43:25.920 shot unless I

00:43:27.940 knew I could 0.98

00:43:28.340 hit it.

00:43:29.580 See what I'm

00:43:30.180 saying?

00:43:30.820 If you've watched

00:43:31.600 my track record,

00:43:32.600 you know that I

00:43:33.360 don't take on

00:43:34.500 every topic because

00:43:36.080 I think, well, I

00:43:37.160 don't know, what

00:43:37.480 do I have to add

00:43:38.020 to that?

00:43:38.920 Well, if the

00:43:39.440 experts say so,

00:43:40.580 eh.

00:43:41.540 I mean, 99% of

00:43:43.300 every topic I go

00:43:44.820 with the experts.

00:43:46.860 1% of the time,

00:43:48.120 or something small,

00:43:49.700 I say, wait a

00:43:50.360 minute, wait a

00:43:50.740 minute, I have a

00:43:51.360 little insight on

00:43:52.080 that specific

00:43:52.700 thing, just that

00:43:53.280 one point, and I

00:43:55.000 know that's a lie.

00:43:56.080 Let me give you

00:43:56.600 an example.

00:43:57.900 When Dr.

00:43:58.780 Fauci initially

00:44:00.100 said, don't wear

00:44:01.600 masks, they won't

00:44:02.620 help.

00:44:03.220 Now, forget about

00:44:03.860 the argument of

00:44:04.460 whether masks help,

00:44:05.560 okay?

00:44:06.420 I'm just telling you

00:44:07.160 I can call it a

00:44:08.020 lie.

00:44:09.440 I am the only

00:44:10.420 person in the

00:44:11.240 United States, a

00:44:12.640 public figure, who

00:44:14.020 said loudly and

00:44:14.960 clearly, that's a

00:44:15.800 lie.

00:44:16.800 I detect that.

00:44:18.320 Now, am I an

00:44:19.120 expert on masks?

00:44:21.360 No.

00:44:23.000 No.

00:44:24.000 Does Fauci know

00:44:25.980 way more than I

00:44:26.900 do about infectious

00:44:27.920 diseases?

00:44:29.500 Yeah.

00:44:30.780 Yeah, I mean, you

00:44:31.540 can criticize him all

00:44:32.520 day long about

00:44:33.180 whatever, but he's

00:44:34.420 definitely a top

00:44:36.120 expert in the field.

00:44:37.460 Now, who was

00:44:38.000 right?

00:44:38.840 Turns out that I

00:44:39.640 accurately called

00:44:40.640 out his lie.

00:44:42.360 Number two, when

00:44:44.200 we first heard that

00:44:45.300 Wuhan was having a

00:44:46.700 problem, who was one

00:44:49.120 of the two first

00:44:50.980 public figures, I

00:44:52.080 think Jack

00:44:52.480 Posobiec was on

00:44:53.240 this fast, who was

00:44:55.280 one of the top

00:44:55.860 people who said,

00:44:56.960 nope, you're wrong,

00:44:58.040 all you experts are

00:44:58.940 wrong, close those

00:44:59.760 borders, close the

00:45:01.020 borders.

00:45:02.100 I did.

00:45:03.300 I was literally

00:45:04.300 cursing the storm and

00:45:06.380 screaming at my

00:45:07.280 screen for Trump to

00:45:08.980 close the border.

00:45:10.320 A week later, he

00:45:11.140 closed the border.

00:45:12.160 What did the experts

00:45:12.820 say now?

00:45:13.320 Should have done it

00:45:15.020 sooner or more

00:45:16.380 completely.

00:45:17.260 Might have made a

00:45:17.840 difference.

00:45:18.980 Might have saved a

00:45:19.700 hundred thousand lives.

00:45:20.840 May have saved a

00:45:22.280 hundred thousand lives

00:45:23.200 when we did it.

00:45:25.260 I mean, it could have

00:45:25.740 been worse.

00:45:28.040 So, if you see me

00:45:31.560 disagreeing with Dr.

00:45:34.800 McCullough, who is,

00:45:37.300 as somebody pointed

00:45:38.120 out, one of the most

00:45:39.320 cited people in the

00:45:40.380 field, a top expert.

00:45:41.460 But I'm only picking

00:45:43.280 out one thing.

00:45:44.800 I haven't done that,

00:45:45.680 by the way.

00:45:46.340 By the way, I haven't

00:45:47.040 found anything I

00:45:47.780 disagreed with.

00:45:49.320 Only because I don't

00:45:50.240 know everything he

00:45:50.900 says.

00:45:51.920 But, if I did that,

00:45:54.820 who should you bet

00:45:56.100 on?

00:45:58.300 Me.

00:45:59.480 And it has to do

00:46:00.380 with the fact that I

00:46:01.100 would select the one

00:46:02.820 special area that I

00:46:05.480 could see quite clearly

00:46:06.580 there was a problem.

00:46:08.020 Now, does this make

00:46:10.740 me magic?

00:46:11.860 Nope.

00:46:12.680 Let me give you, you

00:46:14.100 know, an example.

00:46:15.820 If an experienced

00:46:18.020 police officer told

00:46:20.660 you that somebody was

00:46:21.640 lying, but you

00:46:24.280 weren't sure, who

00:46:25.920 would you believe?

00:46:28.180 Well, I'd believe the

00:46:28.880 police officer.

00:46:30.080 Because even though I

00:46:31.100 feel pretty good about

00:46:32.300 my lie detection skills,

00:46:34.220 I wouldn't put it up

00:46:35.360 against a 25-year

00:46:36.600 police professional who

00:46:38.460 only sees lies all

00:46:39.820 day.

00:46:40.080 I mean, if you've

00:46:42.380 been a cop for 25

00:46:43.440 years and you can't

00:46:44.300 detect a perp who's

00:46:46.060 lying to you with,

00:46:47.660 you know, 80-90%

00:46:48.800 accuracy, then you

00:46:50.840 haven't been doing

00:46:51.380 your job.

00:46:52.700 So, you have to look

00:46:54.420 at what the specific

00:46:55.340 thing is and the

00:46:56.200 specific question.

00:46:57.440 But I wouldn't take a

00:46:58.520 shot at a top expert

00:47:00.020 unless I knew I had

00:47:01.360 the shot.

00:47:02.720 So, that's what's

00:47:03.640 different about me.

00:47:04.720 I have a track record

00:47:05.820 where you can see

00:47:06.560 that.

00:47:07.620 If it was just some

00:47:08.340 random smart person,

00:47:09.960 you wouldn't know.

00:47:11.040 There wouldn't be a

00:47:11.520 track record to look

00:47:12.320 at.

00:47:13.660 Okay.

00:47:16.280 Surprisingly, in the

00:47:17.200 poll, at least last

00:47:18.780 time I checked, I was

00:47:19.620 slightly ahead of the

00:47:20.400 experts.

00:47:21.480 Because I think many of

00:47:23.680 you were clever enough

00:47:24.780 to know that when I

00:47:25.680 added the one specific

00:47:27.200 point part, that that

00:47:29.200 gave me an advantage

00:47:30.260 that's, you know, not

00:47:31.760 representative of my

00:47:32.960 knowledge.

00:47:33.340 Yeah, don't take the

00:47:36.740 shot unless you know

00:47:37.480 you can make it.

00:47:38.040 That's similar to a

00:47:39.560 trial lawyer.

00:47:41.020 You're never supposed

00:47:41.720 to ask a question if

00:47:42.760 you don't already know

00:47:43.420 the answer.

00:47:45.280 So, it's sort of like

00:47:46.200 that.

00:47:46.780 Yeah, low-hanging fruit.

00:47:48.600 Yeah, that's another

00:47:49.300 way to put it.

00:47:50.020 Low-hanging fruit.

00:47:51.880 All right.

00:47:52.760 Those were my

00:47:53.620 prepared remarks.

00:47:55.800 I told the people on

00:47:56.580 Locals I'd take some

00:47:57.580 questions.

00:47:59.080 I haven't watched

00:48:00.120 Rogan McCullough.

00:48:01.620 And I have a

00:48:02.320 challenge for you.

00:48:03.760 Because Joe Rogan

00:48:04.740 interviewed Dr. McCullough.

00:48:07.660 Now, here's my

00:48:10.260 challenge to you.

00:48:12.660 Summarize, if you

00:48:14.040 can, in one sentence.

00:48:15.300 Ideally, one sentence,

00:48:16.440 but I won't hold you

00:48:17.160 to it.

00:48:18.180 Summarize for me, and

00:48:19.100 then tweet it at me,

00:48:19.900 or put it in the

00:48:20.520 comments, one claim

00:48:22.360 that he makes that you

00:48:24.240 think I would disagree

00:48:25.160 with.

00:48:27.920 Because I haven't

00:48:28.720 heard anything I

00:48:29.360 disagreed with yet.

00:48:31.540 I've only heard people

00:48:32.520 talking about it yet.

00:48:33.340 So I want to hear

00:48:34.240 something that you

00:48:35.020 think I would

00:48:35.640 disagree with.

00:48:41.940 The mask thing was

00:48:43.300 possibly a plot to

00:48:44.480 make people believe.

00:48:47.620 Oh, I don't know

00:48:48.420 about that.

00:48:48.920 Okay.

00:48:52.000 All right.

00:48:53.860 No asymptomatic

00:48:55.240 spread.

00:48:56.440 I don't know what

00:48:56.920 that means.

00:48:57.320 Oh, is he saying that

00:49:00.260 it doesn't spread

00:49:01.140 asymptomatically?

00:49:03.940 That sounds like

00:49:04.880 word thinking to me.

00:49:07.320 That just means

00:49:08.160 somebody's not aware

00:49:09.000 that they have it.

00:49:10.960 I'm not sure that

00:49:12.300 there's anything there

00:49:13.140 I would disagree with.

00:49:15.120 That you can't catch

00:49:16.960 COVID twice.

00:49:18.220 I believe the science

00:49:22.600 says that at least

00:49:24.180 one person has

00:49:25.080 caught COVID twice,

00:49:26.120 but it's rare.

00:49:27.360 So what,

00:49:28.480 don't we agree on

00:49:29.340 that?

00:49:30.040 That's the same thing

00:49:30.880 he would say,

00:49:31.380 right?

00:49:32.800 He says you can't

00:49:33.860 get COVID twice.

00:49:34.660 I agree with that,

00:49:36.040 with the exception

00:49:37.140 that I know there

00:49:38.080 were a few people

00:49:39.160 who got it twice,

00:49:40.880 but they were,

00:49:41.260 I think they were

00:49:41.760 immunocompromised,

00:49:43.620 so it doesn't mean

00:49:44.160 anything.

00:49:44.420 So in terms of

00:49:45.680 the larger picture,

00:49:46.640 I completely agree

00:49:47.420 with him, okay?

00:49:56.520 I'm not sure if

00:49:57.480 these are his thoughts

00:49:58.580 or your thoughts.

00:50:03.960 Somebody says,

00:50:04.800 no, there are many

00:50:05.480 that got it twice.

00:50:06.840 I'm not aware of that.

00:50:11.640 Will I please,

00:50:12.800 about the interview?

00:50:15.040 Maybe.

00:50:15.920 I don't think

00:50:16.360 that got lost.

00:50:19.520 Can't catch the same

00:50:20.460 variant twice.

00:50:21.100 I don't really have

00:50:21.600 an opinion on that,

00:50:22.520 so there's nothing

00:50:23.220 I would disagree with.

00:50:32.380 He said hydroxychloroquine

00:50:34.560 is effective.

00:50:38.200 He did?

00:50:39.140 Or did he say

00:50:39.780 it might be?

00:50:41.280 I'll bet he didn't

00:50:41.960 say that.

00:50:42.800 I'll bet he didn't

00:50:44.840 say that.

00:50:46.040 I'll bet he said

00:50:46.820 it might be,

00:50:49.040 so that it was

00:50:49.760 a good risk management.

00:50:52.240 So you're saying

00:50:52.800 that he's the,

00:50:53.700 so he alone

00:50:54.820 is saying that

00:50:55.420 hydroxychloroquine

00:50:56.360 works.

00:50:58.800 What about

00:50:59.420 ivermectin?

00:51:00.080 Does he say

00:51:00.500 that works?

00:51:04.280 He said it worked

00:51:05.220 for his patients.

00:51:06.800 Oh! 0.60

00:51:09.440 That's it.

00:51:10.040 Can somebody confirm

00:51:13.820 this?

00:51:14.060 I hope he didn't

00:51:14.680 say this.

00:51:15.560 Are you telling me

00:51:16.220 that Dr. McCullough

00:51:17.200 thinks hydroxychloroquine

00:51:18.540 works because it

00:51:19.380 worked for his

00:51:20.020 patients?

00:51:21.500 Did that actually

00:51:22.280 happen?

00:51:22.680 That didn't happen,

00:51:23.360 did it?

00:51:23.840 Please tell me

00:51:24.460 that's not true.

00:51:27.160 Okay,

00:51:27.500 I'm seeing somebody

00:51:28.140 say it's not true.

00:51:29.140 No,

00:51:34.980 that's not,

00:51:35.400 okay,

00:51:35.960 that didn't

00:51:36.660 sound like it.

00:51:37.500 So I think

00:51:38.040 here's the problem.

00:51:39.180 I'm not sure

00:51:39.780 if anybody

00:51:40.220 understands him

00:51:41.100 well enough

00:51:41.700 to tell me

00:51:43.640 something that

00:51:44.220 he said

00:51:44.780 that I would

00:51:45.740 disagree with.

00:51:47.040 I don't believe

00:51:47.920 you on the

00:51:48.280 hydroxychloroquine

00:51:49.140 part.

00:51:49.980 I think you're

00:51:50.560 not accurate

00:51:51.820 on that.

00:51:54.360 He said

00:51:55.040 hydroxychloroquine

00:51:56.160 is 64%

00:51:57.700 effective.

00:51:58.260 effective

00:51:58.740 when used

00:51:59.660 early.

00:52:04.100 Now,

00:52:04.780 what's my

00:52:05.160 opinion on

00:52:05.680 that?

00:52:08.720 My opinion

00:52:09.540 is that

00:52:11.200 if it were

00:52:11.720 effective,

00:52:12.340 we would

00:52:12.680 know about

00:52:13.120 it by

00:52:14.500 now.

00:52:19.480 Everybody

00:52:20.040 agrees with

00:52:20.720 early treatment,

00:52:22.120 but he's

00:52:22.840 talking about

00:52:23.340 a specific

00:52:23.820 way to

00:52:24.240 treat it.

00:52:24.640 which is

00:52:28.520 exactly why

00:52:29.160 you should

00:52:29.360 just watch

00:52:29.760 the interview.

00:52:30.760 Well,

00:52:31.080 I will

00:52:31.380 watch the

00:52:31.800 interview,

00:52:32.420 but what I'm

00:52:33.160 telling you

00:52:33.640 is I'm

00:52:34.140 fascinated by

00:52:34.940 the fact

00:52:35.320 that everybody

00:52:36.500 thinks he's

00:52:37.120 saying great

00:52:37.660 things,

00:52:38.580 and you

00:52:39.200 can't describe

00:52:40.080 them,

00:52:40.920 even in

00:52:42.060 layperson's

00:52:42.760 terms.

00:52:43.040 your advice

00:52:48.500 to me is

00:52:48.920 terrible,

00:52:49.560 by the

00:52:49.800 way.

00:52:50.360 So your

00:52:50.600 advice is

00:52:51.260 that if I

00:52:52.400 watch it,

00:52:52.860 I'll be

00:52:53.180 convinced.

00:52:54.140 Can somebody

00:52:54.720 here tell

00:52:55.160 me what I

00:52:56.180 always say

00:52:56.660 about that?

00:52:58.060 Do you

00:52:58.520 believe that

00:52:59.020 if I

00:52:59.320 watched

00:52:59.660 Dr.

00:53:00.180 McCullough,

00:53:01.100 I would

00:53:01.700 be convinced

00:53:02.700 that he

00:53:03.240 sounds

00:53:03.540 credible?

00:53:04.280 How many

00:53:04.660 of you

00:53:04.880 think I

00:53:05.200 would be

00:53:05.500 convinced?

00:53:08.600 Would I

00:53:09.160 be convinced

00:53:09.720 if I

00:53:10.080 listen to

00:53:10.440 him?

00:53:15.300 Well,

00:53:16.400 I'll give

00:53:19.180 you two

00:53:19.440 answers.

00:53:21.440 My

00:53:21.920 rational

00:53:22.440 brain would

00:53:23.160 say I

00:53:23.620 should not

00:53:24.120 be convinced

00:53:24.760 because I'm

00:53:25.300 not hearing

00:53:25.720 the other

00:53:26.080 side.

00:53:27.140 Anytime you're

00:53:27.820 hearing one

00:53:28.380 expert talking

00:53:29.180 to a non-expert,

00:53:30.480 you are being

00:53:31.060 misled because

00:53:32.700 you don't hear

00:53:33.120 the other

00:53:33.440 side.

00:53:34.700 But I

00:53:36.700 also might

00:53:37.160 just disagree

00:53:38.380 on sort of

00:53:39.000 a general

00:53:39.440 statement

00:53:39.820 because he's 0.85

00:53:40.580 a rogue

00:53:41.380 doctor.

00:53:45.040 The elephant

00:53:45.840 in the room,

00:53:46.700 COVID is

00:53:47.100 dangerous but

00:53:47.800 not at the

00:53:48.300 border.

00:53:49.140 Why,

00:53:49.580 Scott?

00:53:50.240 Are you

00:53:50.800 really confused

00:53:51.380 about that?

00:53:52.240 I feel like

00:53:52.880 that's just

00:53:53.240 one of those

00:53:53.640 political things

00:53:54.460 people say.

00:53:55.700 Like,

00:53:56.060 they act

00:53:56.440 confused.

00:53:57.840 Like,

00:53:58.480 why,

00:53:59.400 if COVID

00:53:59.900 is so bad,

00:54:01.420 why are we

00:54:01.900 opening the

00:54:02.360 borders?

00:54:03.040 Is there

00:54:03.480 anybody who's

00:54:03.980 legitimately

00:54:04.660 confused about

00:54:05.600 that?

00:54:05.900 I know it's

00:54:06.260 one of those

00:54:06.640 things people

00:54:07.100 say to make

00:54:08.260 a political

00:54:08.680 point.

00:54:09.440 But is

00:54:09.820 there

00:54:09.940 anybody who

00:54:10.620 actually

00:54:11.040 doesn't

00:54:11.420 understand

00:54:11.840 it?

00:54:17.280 You

00:54:17.800 actually

00:54:18.220 don't

00:54:18.500 understand

00:54:18.920 it.

00:54:22.780 It's

00:54:23.300 because they

00:54:23.900 value the

00:54:26.680 well-being of

00:54:28.520 the immigrants 0.70

00:54:29.080 over the

00:54:29.840 well-being of

00:54:30.580 the citizens.

00:54:31.820 What else

00:54:32.440 would it be?

00:54:32.860 why is there

00:54:35.800 any mystery

00:54:36.220 of this at

00:54:36.680 all?

00:54:37.600 It's very

00:54:38.060 direct.

00:54:39.300 If they

00:54:39.860 valued the

00:54:40.720 citizens' 0.62

00:54:41.300 health over

00:54:41.920 the well-being

00:54:42.640 of the

00:54:43.120 immigrants,

00:54:43.760 it would be

00:54:44.420 the opposite.

00:54:45.240 They'd just

00:54:45.620 stop them

00:54:45.980 from coming

00:54:46.400 in.

00:54:47.280 But that's

00:54:47.840 a decision.

00:54:49.060 It's a

00:54:49.480 decision to

00:54:50.360 rank the

00:54:51.180 well-being

00:54:51.980 of the

00:54:53.680 immigrants

00:54:54.200 higher than

00:54:56.560 the risk

00:54:57.800 to the

00:54:58.640 country.

00:54:59.460 what is

00:55:00.940 the mystery

00:55:01.540 about that?

00:55:03.200 Where do

00:55:03.760 you see the

00:55:04.140 mystery?

00:55:05.380 Why is that

00:55:05.880 confusing?

00:55:08.100 Now, if you

00:55:08.920 say you

00:55:09.360 would have

00:55:09.640 chosen

00:55:10.000 differently,

00:55:10.720 I get

00:55:11.140 that.

00:55:11.820 But it's

00:55:12.120 not confusing.

00:55:13.520 You act

00:55:13.960 like it's a

00:55:14.380 mystery or

00:55:14.820 something.

00:55:15.600 It's very

00:55:16.240 direct.

00:55:17.580 Now, could

00:55:18.660 I support

00:55:19.200 their opinion?

00:55:20.380 Yeah, I

00:55:20.740 could.

00:55:22.300 Here's the

00:55:22.900 argument for

00:55:23.620 it.

00:55:24.120 It's not my

00:55:24.700 argument.

00:55:25.940 I'm America

00:55:26.800 first, so this

00:55:28.300 is not my

00:55:28.960 argument.

00:55:29.380 But I'll

00:55:29.780 show you

00:55:30.080 that there

00:55:30.360 is an

00:55:30.620 argument for

00:55:31.120 it.

00:55:31.240 It goes

00:55:31.460 like this.

00:55:32.560 People are

00:55:33.080 people.

00:55:34.420 One life

00:55:35.160 is one

00:55:35.500 life.

00:55:36.440 The people

00:55:36.760 coming across

00:55:37.360 the border

00:55:38.060 are in

00:55:38.660 desperate

00:55:39.120 situation.

00:55:41.600 We try to

00:55:42.780 keep them

00:55:43.100 someplace for

00:55:43.700 two weeks.

00:55:44.160 There's

00:55:44.300 probably some

00:55:44.800 mitigation that

00:55:45.460 we don't

00:55:45.720 know about.

00:55:46.460 Maybe not.

00:55:47.720 But all

00:55:48.680 things considered,

00:55:50.500 we'd rather

00:55:51.340 help these

00:55:51.960 people in

00:55:52.520 desperate

00:55:52.940 situations than

00:55:54.740 we would

00:55:55.380 protect a

00:55:56.280 few extra

00:55:56.960 hundred thousand

00:55:57.580 Americans.

00:55:58.000 that's the

00:56:00.160 argument.

00:56:01.340 The argument

00:56:02.100 is it's bad

00:56:03.180 for everybody,

00:56:04.120 but it's

00:56:04.720 worse bad

00:56:05.560 for them,

00:56:06.140 so that's

00:56:07.240 where empathy

00:56:07.940 goes.

00:56:11.200 You could

00:56:11.880 argue that

00:56:12.300 it's being

00:56:12.760 done poorly.

00:56:13.420 That's a

00:56:13.660 separate

00:56:13.880 argument.

00:56:14.180 yes, you

00:56:20.760 could get

00:56:21.100 COVID over

00:56:21.620 and over

00:56:21.900 if your

00:56:22.280 immune system

00:56:22.860 is depressed.

00:56:23.660 That's

00:56:23.780 right.

00:56:28.780 Not

00:56:29.240 desperate.

00:56:31.100 Yes, you

00:56:31.780 are right.

00:56:33.300 I live in

00:56:34.100 California, so

00:56:34.840 I do have

00:56:35.360 an insight

00:56:36.100 into how

00:56:37.680 many of

00:56:38.060 the people

00:56:38.940 coming are

00:56:39.440 just for

00:56:39.840 economic

00:56:40.320 reasons and

00:56:41.080 how many

00:56:41.400 are desperately

00:56:42.620 in trouble and

00:56:43.360 just claiming

00:56:44.020 that they're

00:56:44.980 at risk.

00:56:45.700 And the

00:56:46.060 answer is

00:56:46.680 it's for

00:56:47.240 economic

00:56:47.580 reasons, but

00:56:48.560 everybody knows

00:56:49.160 that, right?

00:56:50.460 There's nobody

00:56:51.060 confused about

00:56:51.960 that.

00:56:52.460 It is for

00:56:52.840 economic

00:56:53.200 reasons.

00:56:57.900 Oh,

00:56:58.520 interesting.

00:56:59.000 Somebody's

00:56:59.340 wife works 0.96

00:56:59.960 with adults

00:57:00.500 with special

00:57:01.020 needs and

00:57:02.140 a number of

00:57:02.700 them have

00:57:03.040 contracted

00:57:03.660 COVID twice.

00:57:05.860 Interesting.

00:57:06.240 All right.

00:57:14.460 What are

00:57:14.980 your thoughts

00:57:15.340 on Dave

00:57:15.800 Rubin

00:57:16.240 leaving

00:57:16.780 California?

00:57:18.400 I don't

00:57:18.740 know.

00:57:18.880 Do you

00:57:19.040 need my

00:57:19.400 opinion on

00:57:19.900 that?

00:57:21.820 Isn't that

00:57:22.420 between Dave

00:57:23.020 and California?

00:57:24.580 Why does my

00:57:25.440 opinion have

00:57:25.900 anything to do

00:57:26.500 with anything?

00:57:29.180 It certainly

00:57:29.860 makes sense.

00:57:30.860 I mean, I'll

00:57:31.160 just say the

00:57:31.660 obvious thing,

00:57:32.360 which is he's

00:57:34.140 going from a

00:57:34.740 less free state

00:57:35.660 to a more

00:57:36.180 free state,

00:57:37.700 but, you

00:57:40.240 know, he

00:57:40.840 also has to

00:57:41.340 deal with the

00:57:41.760 humidity.

00:57:43.980 If he can

00:57:44.640 handle the

00:57:45.120 humidity, then

00:57:47.180 it was an

00:57:47.640 excellent move.

00:57:49.460 I don't think

00:57:50.220 I can handle

00:57:50.720 the humidity,

00:57:51.680 so I'm not

00:57:52.080 sure it's an

00:57:52.460 option for me.

00:57:53.700 Texas, maybe.

00:57:57.800 All right.

00:58:03.040 Please ask

00:58:04.060 locals if

00:58:04.840 anyone has

00:58:05.320 been able

00:58:05.660 to play

00:58:06.040 back the

00:58:06.460 interview

00:58:06.900 tips.

00:58:07.920 Well, they

00:58:08.180 should also

00:58:08.640 exist on

00:58:09.440 YouTube.

00:58:10.480 So if you

00:58:11.180 know which

00:58:11.760 day I did

00:58:12.640 that, go to

00:58:14.260 the YouTube

00:58:14.640 version, and

00:58:15.920 that will

00:58:16.140 play for

00:58:16.540 you.

00:58:20.080 Why do

00:58:20.620 you continue

00:58:21.060 to support

00:58:21.500 California with

00:58:22.320 your tax

00:58:22.740 dollars?

00:58:23.900 Well, not

00:58:24.680 paying taxes is

00:58:25.560 a bad idea, so

00:58:26.380 the real

00:58:26.660 question is,

00:58:27.180 why do I

00:58:27.500 stay in

00:58:27.840 California?

00:58:28.800 And the

00:58:29.320 answer is,

00:58:29.940 it's hard to

00:58:31.580 move, and I

00:58:32.960 haven't found

00:58:33.480 someplace better.

00:58:35.560 Now, there

00:58:36.240 are lots of

00:58:36.600 places that

00:58:37.200 are better in

00:58:37.880 certain ways,

00:58:38.900 but I haven't

00:58:40.480 found a place

00:58:41.260 that's better in

00:58:41.920 all the ways

00:58:42.540 that I need it

00:58:43.120 to be better.

00:58:43.820 So I would.

00:58:44.540 I mean, nothing

00:58:45.960 would stop me if

00:58:47.520 I could solve

00:58:48.720 all my

00:58:49.200 connections, but

00:58:51.560 I can't.

00:58:52.000 All right.

00:58:56.220 It's sort of a

00:58:57.020 network effect,

00:58:58.240 you know, for

00:58:58.980 you techie

00:58:59.880 nerds.

00:59:00.920 So California

00:59:01.520 is sort of a

00:59:02.140 network effect.

00:59:02.960 You get

00:59:03.220 embedded in

00:59:04.080 every way.

00:59:05.380 It's just so

00:59:06.520 hard.

00:59:11.120 Oh, yeah, the

00:59:12.200 two-state

00:59:12.680 solution would

00:59:13.860 be the ultimate,

00:59:14.700 but I can't

00:59:15.340 have two

00:59:15.740 houses.

00:59:17.040 I'm a one

00:59:17.700 house, one

00:59:18.160 car guy.

00:59:19.360 As soon as

00:59:19.800 you add a

00:59:20.260 second car or

00:59:21.120 a second house,

00:59:22.000 which I've

00:59:22.980 done, the

00:59:24.020 complications

00:59:24.880 just go,

00:59:26.560 just, you

00:59:27.260 know, just

00:59:27.900 becomes incredible.

00:59:29.580 So I need

00:59:30.380 simplicity.

00:59:31.520 So one car,

00:59:32.240 one house.

00:59:37.000 Ignorance is

00:59:37.660 no defense.

00:59:38.580 Ignorance of

00:59:39.060 what?

00:59:41.760 I don't even

00:59:42.380 know what you're

00:59:42.640 talking about.

00:59:44.580 All right.

00:59:50.220 Yeah, imagine

00:59:51.000 all the water

00:59:51.560 leaks.

00:59:52.580 I've had

00:59:53.080 something like

00:59:53.620 12 major

00:59:55.720 water leaks,

00:59:56.700 and none of

00:59:57.100 them are

00:59:57.340 related to

00:59:57.880 any construction

00:59:59.120 problem or

01:00:00.160 material use.

01:00:01.480 They're just

01:00:01.800 all coincidences.

01:00:03.240 They're just

01:00:03.500 all unrelated.

01:00:10.460 Scottsdale,

01:00:11.100 Arizona.

01:00:11.600 I don't like

01:00:12.000 deserts.

01:00:12.980 Deserts make

01:00:13.680 me feel creepy.

01:00:15.160 I've never

01:00:15.660 liked being in

01:00:16.440 any kind of

01:00:17.120 desert escape.

01:00:18.720 I just

01:00:19.280 feel, I feel

01:00:20.740 exposed.

01:00:22.180 Here's what it

01:00:22.780 is.

01:00:23.600 I don't want

01:00:24.360 to die because

01:00:25.820 I went

01:00:26.200 outdoors.

01:00:28.020 That's one of

01:00:28.680 my biggest

01:00:29.080 reasons for

01:00:29.580 living in

01:00:29.980 California,

01:00:30.680 is that where

01:00:31.620 I live, I

01:00:32.860 could go

01:00:33.260 outdoors for

01:00:34.760 two hours

01:00:36.260 anytime and

01:00:39.560 not die.

01:00:41.060 Like, it

01:00:41.580 could be the

01:00:41.980 coldest day in

01:00:42.660 the winter,

01:00:43.880 but it's still

01:00:44.360 going to be

01:00:44.580 in the

01:00:44.800 40s.

01:00:46.140 I could go

01:00:46.720 out without

01:00:47.120 a coat for

01:00:47.720 two hours.

01:00:48.640 I'd be very

01:00:49.260 unhappy, but

01:00:50.640 totally alive.

01:00:52.300 Totally alive.

01:00:53.180 Very unhappy.

01:00:54.520 But I

01:00:54.760 wouldn't die.

01:00:56.380 And there

01:00:56.780 are tons of

01:00:57.360 places where

01:00:57.920 you just

01:00:58.340 couldn't go

01:00:58.880 outside.

01:01:00.000 If it's

01:01:00.380 winter, I

01:01:01.820 almost died in

01:01:02.540 the snow once.

01:01:03.500 That's a long

01:01:03.920 story.

01:01:08.240 When will

01:01:12.500 the jackhammering

01:01:13.360 end?

01:01:13.660 I think

01:01:13.940 never.

01:01:15.100 It feels

01:01:15.540 like.

01:01:16.280 Will drought

01:01:16.940 kill California?

01:01:18.080 We've had, I

01:01:18.720 think, historically

01:01:19.440 there have been

01:01:19.900 worse ones, but

01:01:22.100 it could.

01:01:24.280 You said

01:01:24.900 yesterday that

01:01:25.500 you don't fear

01:01:26.080 death.

01:01:26.640 I don't fear

01:01:27.280 it.

01:01:28.800 I avoid it.

01:01:30.660 Isn't that

01:01:31.320 different?

01:01:32.120 I don't want to

01:01:32.920 go outdoors where

01:01:35.040 death is a

01:01:36.120 possibility.

01:01:36.820 It's not because

01:01:37.260 I'm afraid of

01:01:37.920 it.

01:01:38.160 It's because

01:01:38.620 dying is not

01:01:40.020 on my wish

01:01:41.080 list.

01:01:41.380 California has

01:01:46.420 banned gas

01:01:47.120 powered engines

01:01:47.820 starting in

01:01:48.700 2024.

01:01:49.540 That doesn't

01:01:49.880 sound right.

01:01:52.800 Are the

01:01:53.180 desalinization

01:01:54.060 plants going?

01:01:54.960 I don't think

01:01:55.420 there are any.

01:01:56.920 Dude, you don't

01:01:57.800 go outside.

01:01:59.200 Oh, you'd be

01:01:59.900 surprised.

01:02:00.380 I'll watch

01:02:03.520 the McCullough

01:02:04.180 playback today.

01:02:05.760 I guess I have

01:02:06.380 to go to

01:02:06.640 Spotify for

01:02:07.280 that, right?

01:02:08.720 That's a

01:02:09.080 Spotify thing.

01:02:12.720 It's just a

01:02:13.420 small engine

01:02:13.940 band in

01:02:14.360 California.

01:02:14.840 That sounds

01:02:15.220 more right.

01:02:20.900 Oh, and

01:02:21.740 generators.

01:02:22.440 That's right.

01:02:22.760 Gas generators.

01:02:24.180 Oh, leaf

01:02:24.980 blowers.

01:02:25.420 Oh, I don't

01:02:27.300 know.

01:02:27.540 Are the

01:02:27.760 electric ones

01:02:28.320 any better?

01:02:30.380 All right.

01:02:37.040 No gas

01:02:37.860 generators.

01:02:38.580 Interesting.

01:02:39.700 But that's

01:02:40.040 gasoline, right?

01:02:41.660 That's not

01:02:42.180 gas as in

01:02:43.440 the gas that

01:02:46.040 runs your

01:02:46.440 stove.

01:02:49.620 Does

01:02:50.120 Christina ever

01:02:50.840 talk about

01:02:51.320 going to

01:02:51.720 space?

01:02:52.060 She would

01:02:52.340 go in a

01:02:52.660 heartbeat.

01:02:53.520 Yeah.

01:02:53.820 She actually

01:02:54.480 said she

01:02:54.940 would go to

01:02:55.340 Mars.

01:02:57.540 She likes

01:02:58.240 that stuff.

01:03:00.380 All right.

01:03:00.980 That's all

01:03:01.300 for now.

01:03:02.400 And I

01:03:03.720 would like

01:03:04.020 to take

01:03:04.340 my leave

01:03:04.740 now and

01:03:05.320 do some

01:03:05.620 other things.

01:03:06.900 I think

01:03:07.360 you'll agree

01:03:07.760 this is the

01:03:08.280 best thing

01:03:08.640 you've ever

01:03:09.020 done in

01:03:09.340 your life.

01:03:10.540 I'm going to

01:03:10.860 turn it off

01:03:11.380 before I see

01:03:12.020 any disagreements.

01:03:13.460 But go

01:03:14.840 forth and have

01:03:15.680 a Merry

01:03:16.240 Christmas.

01:03:17.360 I'll talk to

01:03:17.900 you tomorrow.

01:03:18.640 to
