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,
00:03:08.000 they're calling you stupid or, you know, just some personal insult.
00:03:12.020 Before you respond, before you respond, because you're going to want to insult them back right away,
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.
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,
00:11:25.880 and damn it, 0.52
00:11:26.920 he can tweet better than everybody.
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
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
00:22:21.680 an idiot and 0.93
00:22:23.220 that should
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
00:22:31.340 an idiot for
00:22:32.740 being certain,
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
00:24:38.920 death sentence.
00:24:40.840 I think
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
00:25:17.360 death.
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
00:25:25.000 death sentence.
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
00:27:55.180 things, these
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,
00:30:11.340 damn, I
00:30:13.200 guess we'll
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
00:30:43.980 ever fucking
00:30:44.920 met Trump?
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
00:30:53.040 of you for being
00:30:53.560 an asshole. 0.96
00:30:55.260 Top naivety
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
00:31:04.600 an asshole. 0.96
00:31:06.220 All right.
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
00:35:05.320 the death
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.
00:35:19.360 Because you need
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.
00:40:17.940 Damn.
00:40:19.580 He actually got
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
00:43:19.860 bullshit detection
00:43:20.900 could just see it
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
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
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
01:03:34.320 a
01:03:34.800 a
01:03:35.280 a
01:03:35.760 okay
01:03:36.400 you
01:03:36.520 you
01:03:37.180 you
01:03:37.540 you
01:03:38.220 you
01:03:38.260 you
01:03:38.520 you
01:03:39.320 you
01:03:40.400 you
