Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1829 Scott Adams： News and Coffee

00:00:00.000 It's about time I got here.

00:00:08.860 Let's close these curtains.

00:00:12.080 Yeah, there we go.

00:00:20.440 Well, I think I should print my notes.

00:00:22.580 What do you think?

00:00:24.680 Yeah, yeah, I'm late.

00:00:26.460 I know, I know.

00:00:28.060 I know, I know.

00:00:30.000 It's the best ever start

00:00:35.840 from the best ever show

00:00:38.060 of all time.

00:00:41.180 See, you know what I was doing?

00:00:42.520 I was desperately

00:00:43.940 looking through the news

00:00:45.560 to see if there was any.

00:00:47.920 But there wasn't any.

00:00:49.240 No, the sip is upcoming.

00:00:51.500 I'm waiting for my notes.

00:00:54.140 It's got to be in the right order.

00:00:56.380 It's all got to be in the right order.

00:01:00.000 Yeah, we're going to have a small crowd here today.

00:01:08.960 Oh.

00:01:12.880 Yeah, let's see if we can get back on track.

00:01:15.140 There we go.

00:01:19.400 Good morning, everybody.

00:01:20.640 And welcome to the highlight

00:01:23.300 of civilization itself.

00:01:26.360 Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:01:27.860 It's going to be a weird one today

00:01:29.780 because it turns out there was no news.

00:01:32.840 I know.

00:01:33.160 Every once in a while you wake up

00:01:34.380 and, oh, there's no news.

00:01:36.800 But we do have the simultaneous sip.

00:01:38.380 And that's going to make you feel great.

00:01:41.120 And all you need is a cup or a mug

00:01:42.680 or a glass, a tank or a chalice

00:01:43.720 or a canteen jug or a flask

00:01:45.360 or a vessel of any kind

00:01:46.600 filling with your favorite liquid.

00:01:48.860 I like coffee.

00:01:50.660 And join me now

00:01:51.500 for the unparalleled pleasure

00:01:54.420 of the dopamine here today

00:01:55.500 that makes everything better.

00:01:57.000 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:01:59.440 Happens now.

00:02:00.480 Go.

00:02:00.680 Go.

00:02:00.740 It's okay, Jen.

00:02:07.800 I made it.

00:02:09.680 I know you were getting nervous.

00:02:12.440 Let me tell you,

00:02:13.380 when I looked at the clock

00:02:15.000 and I saw it was already a minute too late

00:02:17.720 before I'd even started signing on,

00:02:19.460 I said to myself,

00:02:20.900 I've let you down.

00:02:23.720 But watch me make up for it

00:02:25.520 by the finest content

00:02:26.960 you've ever seen in your life.

00:02:30.740 The three Kremlin generals got fired.

00:02:33.380 Did that happen today?

00:02:35.420 Well, I didn't see it.

00:02:37.120 So I started writing my...

00:02:38.980 Oh, God, I'm going to sneeze.

00:02:42.360 No, use my technique.

00:02:45.940 I'm mentally sneezing.

00:02:50.660 And gone.

00:02:51.500 You know what's funny?

00:02:54.060 I literally cured the sneeze.

00:02:58.240 I'll never get credit for that.

00:03:00.740 If you're not aware of the technique,

00:03:03.560 if you have to sneeze,

00:03:05.780 just imagine you're sneezing.

00:03:08.280 Just visualize yourself actually sneezing.

00:03:10.800 It takes away the physical sneeze.

00:03:13.500 I just did it in front of you.

00:03:15.080 I had a sneeze coming

00:03:16.920 that there was no way I was going to stop.

00:03:19.320 And I just used my technique

00:03:20.560 and just totally went away.

00:03:22.880 If you haven't tried it,

00:03:25.340 it'll freak you out.

00:03:26.960 It'll totally freak you out that it works.

00:03:28.660 Yeah, you can see the other people

00:03:31.120 that people have tried it.

00:03:32.540 It does work.

00:03:34.920 I mean, seriously.

00:03:36.700 Why is that not on my Wikipedia page?

00:03:39.680 I cured the sneeze.

00:03:43.760 I'm not making that up.

00:03:45.680 I actually cured the common sneeze.

00:03:47.380 That should be on my primary accomplishment

00:03:51.880 in my whole life.

00:03:53.760 Yes.

00:03:54.740 Well, okay, cured.

00:03:56.800 Maybe cured is a strong word.

00:03:59.340 I like it anyway.

00:04:00.420 All right, anyway.

00:04:01.540 You all know about this ESG stuff

00:04:03.660 that's hitting corporations.

00:04:06.380 The environment and social something

00:04:10.040 and governance.

00:04:11.300 But anyway, it's the UN

00:04:16.000 trying to make corporations

00:04:17.760 better citizens in their opinions.

00:04:19.840 So they've got this little way

00:04:21.060 of rating them

00:04:21.780 and there's these independent agencies

00:04:23.340 that rate companies, et cetera.

00:04:27.420 And so on, I think, September 12th

00:04:31.760 is a week of Dilbert mocking that.

00:04:34.480 But I think I might do another week.

00:04:36.920 I feel like it needs two weeks of mocking.

00:04:39.040 And I thought that the first week

00:04:42.000 I didn't really land the punch I wanted to.

00:04:45.020 I need at least one of these ESG jokes

00:04:47.640 to be super viral.

00:04:49.460 And I didn't quite hit it on the first week.

00:04:51.400 But you'll see those anyway.

00:04:55.180 What do you think?

00:04:56.000 Do you think I can get rid of ESG?

00:04:59.720 I think I can.

00:05:01.840 But you have to give me

00:05:02.760 until the end of the year

00:05:03.600 to mock it out of existence.

00:05:06.520 If you're a CEO,

00:05:07.600 and you're all in on ESG,

00:05:12.560 it probably means

00:05:15.320 because you are coincidentally

00:05:16.580 doing all that stuff anyway.

00:05:18.760 I've got a feeling

00:05:19.560 that the only people who support it

00:05:20.960 are the ones who get good grades

00:05:22.400 for doing the things

00:05:24.320 that they were going to do anyway.

00:05:28.240 I understand Trump has a new haircut.

00:05:30.220 So I saw some still photos.

00:05:35.160 Is that true?

00:05:36.840 Did you see Trump has a new haircut?

00:05:40.280 I mean, I wasn't sure

00:05:41.440 if I was seeing it right.

00:05:47.280 It means he's running.

00:05:49.140 It probably does mean he's running.

00:05:50.580 But do critical race theory?

00:05:59.260 Let me do one thing at a time here.

00:06:03.640 All right.

00:06:05.640 Anyway,

00:06:07.580 his new haircut looks good, actually.

00:06:10.400 If that's what he was...

00:06:11.540 If that's really real.

00:06:13.260 And what did his critics say

00:06:14.800 about his new haircut?

00:06:15.620 Just take a guess.

00:06:18.160 Just a wild guess

00:06:19.940 what Trump's critics said

00:06:22.580 about his haircut.

00:06:25.040 It looked exactly like

00:06:26.580 Hitler's haircut.

00:06:29.360 That's right.

00:06:30.740 They actually turned his haircut

00:06:32.220 into a Hitler reference.

00:06:35.560 So it doesn't take much.

00:06:37.060 How many of you would agree

00:06:40.140 with the statement

00:06:40.800 that Biden now has

00:06:42.060 solid victories?

00:06:44.900 Accomplishments.

00:06:46.260 How many of you...

00:06:47.200 And when you say accomplishments,

00:06:48.740 it's for his base, right?

00:06:51.760 No fair saying

00:06:52.780 you don't like them.

00:06:54.820 That's different.

00:06:56.300 But did he accomplish

00:06:57.500 a number of things

00:06:58.520 that his base

00:06:59.160 is happy about?

00:07:01.480 I would say he has.

00:07:03.140 I would say he has.

00:07:03.740 I don't...

00:07:05.500 You know, at this point,

00:07:06.400 Democratic majority,

00:07:09.400 it looks like they got

00:07:11.120 some stuff that they wanted.

00:07:13.500 And they didn't get

00:07:14.640 nearly as much as they wanted,

00:07:16.340 which suggests

00:07:17.340 that the system is working.

00:07:19.660 Now, personally,

00:07:21.580 I kind of like a system

00:07:24.200 that goes back and forth

00:07:25.800 between Democrats

00:07:26.780 and Republicans.

00:07:28.140 Is there anybody else

00:07:29.000 who appreciates

00:07:30.400 that that gets us

00:07:32.020 to a better place?

00:07:32.880 Even when we, you know,

00:07:34.560 we don't like

00:07:35.280 what the other side does,

00:07:37.520 whatever side that is for you.

00:07:39.460 But I really like the fact

00:07:42.560 that one side

00:07:43.340 doesn't get to run too long

00:07:44.920 before the other side

00:07:46.680 corrects it.

00:07:47.580 I feel like that's healthy.

00:07:50.740 Yeah.

00:07:51.220 I don't know.

00:07:52.280 To me,

00:07:53.040 I'm watching a system

00:07:54.220 work exactly the way

00:07:55.340 I want it to.

00:07:56.660 I'm seeing some votes

00:07:57.980 that maybe I would not

00:07:58.920 have supported,

00:07:59.520 but that's the way it works.

00:08:03.880 I mean,

00:08:04.100 I'm not supposed to be delighted

00:08:05.300 with everything

00:08:06.080 that the government does.

00:08:07.880 Sometimes other people

00:08:09.000 get to be delighted.

00:08:11.460 Maybe this time

00:08:12.320 it's their turn.

00:08:14.300 And, you know,

00:08:15.060 if the country

00:08:16.040 doesn't like that,

00:08:17.660 oh, well.

00:08:19.700 Let me tell you

00:08:20.500 another controversial opinion

00:08:23.020 that I have.

00:08:23.740 If there's a close election,

00:08:27.100 let's say for president,

00:08:28.020 and one side

00:08:29.840 just barely wins,

00:08:31.640 just barely wins,

00:08:33.280 and then they get their way.

00:08:35.700 But even though

00:08:36.300 they just barely won,

00:08:38.380 I'm okay with that,

00:08:39.820 even if I don't like the stuff.

00:08:41.660 I mean,

00:08:41.860 I'd have to dislike it a lot

00:08:43.640 to, you know,

00:08:44.700 change my mind.

00:08:46.040 But I feel like

00:08:47.640 that even if I think

00:08:50.080 that my side

00:08:51.500 might have won

00:08:52.400 if the election

00:08:53.020 had been audited,

00:08:54.880 eh,

00:08:55.880 I can't get too angry

00:08:57.800 about the majority

00:08:59.280 of the country

00:08:59.880 getting what they want

00:09:00.840 in a system

00:09:02.820 which I support,

00:09:04.160 which is,

00:09:05.080 you know,

00:09:05.420 a democratic republic

00:09:06.480 kind of a system.

00:09:08.480 I don't know.

00:09:09.160 I have a tough time

00:09:10.580 getting too worked up

00:09:12.040 about the country

00:09:12.960 getting what it wanted

00:09:13.940 with a system

00:09:15.340 that we all supported.

00:09:17.800 We can complain

00:09:18.840 because that's part,

00:09:19.700 that's who we are,

00:09:20.440 but overall,

00:09:22.200 it's not the worst thing

00:09:23.080 in the world.

00:09:23.400 I just realized

00:09:26.020 that this large

00:09:26.800 climate bill,

00:09:28.420 the climate

00:09:28.920 slash inflation bill,

00:09:30.620 that now they're

00:09:31.240 turning into a climate

00:09:32.160 bill.

00:09:33.080 Have you seen

00:09:33.620 that the Democrat

00:09:35.380 leading pundits

00:09:36.540 have stopped saying

00:09:37.860 it's an inflation bill

00:09:38.840 because it's just

00:09:39.780 such a lie?

00:09:42.420 And now it's

00:09:43.200 a climate bill.

00:09:44.480 But apparently

00:09:45.020 the largest climate

00:09:45.960 bill in history

00:09:46.580 has no support

00:09:47.780 for new nuclear

00:09:48.740 plants.

00:09:49.520 is supposed

00:09:51.760 to be neutral

00:09:53.040 on what it

00:09:54.340 supports, right?

00:09:55.800 The whole point

00:09:56.800 was to make it

00:09:57.440 energy neutral,

00:09:58.380 not loving solar

00:10:00.520 by hating coal

00:10:02.160 and gas.

00:10:04.160 But obviously

00:10:04.960 they're hating

00:10:05.720 on new nuclear

00:10:06.800 plants because

00:10:07.560 there's nothing

00:10:07.960 in there to

00:10:08.520 make them happen.

00:10:11.160 So it looks

00:10:12.000 to me like

00:10:12.580 Democrats have

00:10:14.160 snatched defeat

00:10:15.460 from the jaws

00:10:16.220 of victory.

00:10:17.000 I would say

00:10:17.540 the only thing

00:10:18.220 that could have

00:10:18.640 saved us,

00:10:19.100 climate-wise,

00:10:20.240 was an aggressive

00:10:21.620 push to nuclear

00:10:22.520 plants.

00:10:23.260 It's the only

00:10:23.860 thing they left

00:10:24.440 out.

00:10:26.540 The only thing

00:10:27.820 that I think

00:10:28.340 would have worked

00:10:29.060 to address

00:10:30.980 climate change

00:10:31.740 is an aggressive

00:10:32.960 stance to build

00:10:34.140 new nuclear

00:10:35.260 power plants

00:10:36.000 and it's not

00:10:36.960 in the plan

00:10:37.380 at all.

00:10:38.300 At all.

00:10:39.240 I think there's

00:10:40.060 some stuff for

00:10:40.640 keeping existing

00:10:41.740 ones open,

00:10:42.420 but that's not

00:10:42.840 nearly enough.

00:10:44.480 So I would say

00:10:45.100 that on a policy

00:10:46.580 basis,

00:10:47.240 an obvious

00:10:48.940 failure.

00:10:50.380 Obvious failure.

00:10:51.700 So I think if you

00:10:52.500 leave out the most

00:10:53.240 obvious solution

00:10:54.080 to climate change,

00:10:55.260 you'd have to say

00:10:56.080 it's the biggest

00:10:56.640 failure in climate

00:10:58.700 legislative history.

00:11:01.380 Is that too

00:11:02.140 strong?

00:11:03.460 If you take the

00:11:04.380 Democrats' view

00:11:05.160 that there's an

00:11:06.680 emergency,

00:11:09.440 how do you leave

00:11:10.420 out the only

00:11:10.980 solution?

00:11:11.420 the only solution

00:11:13.340 is nuclear.

00:11:14.700 And I even think

00:11:16.160 that Elon Musk

00:11:17.820 would agree with

00:11:18.520 that.

00:11:19.580 I'd love to hear

00:11:21.380 his opinion,

00:11:22.100 but, you know,

00:11:22.980 Elon Musk has

00:11:23.840 said we could get

00:11:24.440 all the power we

00:11:25.160 want with a

00:11:26.460 certain amount

00:11:26.980 of solar panels

00:11:28.560 plus batteries.

00:11:31.160 But I think he's

00:11:32.320 still pro-nuclear.

00:11:34.200 Is he not?

00:11:35.060 I'd love to hear

00:11:36.720 his opinion,

00:11:37.380 because to me

00:11:38.540 this looks like

00:11:39.280 the biggest

00:11:40.660 climate failure

00:11:41.880 of all time.

00:11:43.640 Because I don't

00:11:44.400 think we're going

00:11:44.900 to get another

00:11:45.420 chance to do

00:11:46.200 something this

00:11:46.760 big that

00:11:48.720 addresses climate.

00:11:50.440 And if you

00:11:51.040 waste your one

00:11:51.820 shot and you

00:11:53.180 don't even

00:11:53.700 light up the

00:11:55.040 target that's

00:11:55.760 the main target,

00:11:56.620 which is doing

00:11:57.940 something about

00:11:58.520 the climate,

00:11:59.020 because

00:11:59.620 nuclear being the

00:12:01.700 main way you

00:12:02.520 can deal with it.

00:12:05.060 All right.

00:12:06.340 Well, so big

00:12:07.800 victory politically,

00:12:09.260 but a gigantic

00:12:10.120 defeat for the

00:12:11.600 planet, and I

00:12:13.020 would say it

00:12:13.420 dooms us to

00:12:14.120 certain annihilation.

00:12:16.220 We're doomed to

00:12:17.300 certain annihilation

00:12:18.440 according to the

00:12:19.200 Democrats' own

00:12:20.000 plan, unless

00:12:22.140 those solar

00:12:23.460 panels get a lot

00:12:24.540 better.

00:12:26.420 So I chanced

00:12:27.520 upon a piece

00:12:28.720 of content on

00:12:31.700 the television

00:12:32.420 device that I

00:12:34.040 recommend.

00:12:35.060 I was quite

00:12:36.460 surprised.

00:12:37.880 So apparently

00:12:38.480 Newt Gingrich is

00:12:39.880 some kind of

00:12:40.880 production company,

00:12:42.500 and there's a,

00:12:44.700 I guess I call it

00:12:45.480 a documentary,

00:12:46.220 on George

00:12:46.820 Washington.

00:12:48.400 Didn't you think

00:12:49.380 you knew everything

00:12:50.060 you needed to know

00:12:50.760 about George

00:12:51.300 Washington?

00:12:55.060 I felt like I

00:12:56.340 learned some

00:12:56.820 stuff that was

00:12:57.740 actually just

00:12:58.320 really interesting,

00:13:00.400 and I

00:13:01.860 recommend it.

00:13:02.500 so I'm only

00:13:03.500 halfway through

00:13:04.760 and I already

00:13:05.280 recommend it.

00:13:06.160 It's good enough.

00:13:07.880 So if you like

00:13:08.420 your American

00:13:09.320 history, which I

00:13:10.400 do, and you

00:13:11.320 like your stories

00:13:13.260 about the

00:13:13.700 founders, this is

00:13:15.260 a really good

00:13:15.740 one.

00:13:16.600 I thought Newt

00:13:17.420 did a real good

00:13:18.360 job and his

00:13:19.120 people.

00:13:20.040 So Newt's

00:13:20.960 actually, he

00:13:21.980 narrates part of

00:13:22.720 it, as does

00:13:23.840 Calista, I

00:13:26.860 believe is her

00:13:27.320 name.

00:13:27.520 So check

00:13:31.120 it out, check

00:13:32.120 it out.

00:13:32.520 If you like

00:13:33.360 interesting stories

00:13:34.320 about the

00:13:34.720 founders, there's

00:13:35.440 some real good

00:13:35.960 stuff there about

00:13:36.520 Washington.

00:13:41.400 Well, there's

00:13:42.800 practically no

00:13:43.500 news today, is

00:13:44.300 there?

00:13:45.940 It's like almost

00:13:46.940 no news.

00:13:49.700 Rasmus and

00:13:50.280 had a poll,

00:13:50.760 and 56% of

00:13:55.280 likely U.S.

00:13:55.940 voters believe

00:13:56.580 every state

00:13:57.480 should require

00:13:58.960 that ballots

00:13:59.680 be immediately

00:14:00.680 available for

00:14:01.880 a bipartisan

00:14:03.160 review after the

00:14:04.320 election.

00:14:05.460 So well

00:14:06.860 over, well,

00:14:08.040 56% of

00:14:09.000 voters would

00:14:10.100 like to be

00:14:10.740 able to

00:14:11.100 immediately

00:14:11.680 have a

00:14:12.440 bipartisan

00:14:12.960 review, or

00:14:14.980 I guess you

00:14:15.540 could call it

00:14:16.040 an audit,

00:14:17.200 immediately

00:14:17.620 after the

00:14:18.140 election.

00:14:19.080 How many

00:14:19.460 people would

00:14:19.900 be against

00:14:20.740 the ability

00:14:22.660 to audit

00:14:23.680 an election

00:14:24.360 immediately?

00:14:25.760 Like who?

00:14:26.380 Just a guess.

00:14:28.380 How did you

00:14:29.080 do that

00:14:29.700 again?

00:14:31.820 I have the

00:14:32.660 smartest viewers.

00:14:34.360 I just throw

00:14:35.060 out a random

00:14:35.580 question and you

00:14:36.320 all get the

00:14:36.720 right answer.

00:14:37.660 Yeah, it's

00:14:38.000 23%, but you

00:14:39.500 were very close.

00:14:40.360 A lot of you

00:14:40.780 guessed 25%.

00:14:41.880 Yeah, about a

00:14:43.060 quarter of the

00:14:43.600 public does not

00:14:44.420 want to be able

00:14:45.060 to find out if

00:14:46.100 the election was

00:14:47.000 fraudulent or

00:14:47.920 not.

00:14:50.740 Okay, about

00:14:52.860 a quarter of

00:14:53.740 the people

00:14:54.080 don't care if

00:14:55.640 the election was

00:14:56.260 fraudulent or

00:14:56.920 not.

00:14:57.660 Don't need to

00:14:58.300 check that.

00:14:59.300 All right.

00:15:01.600 In the next

00:15:02.420 10 minutes,

00:15:03.220 some of you

00:15:03.760 are going to

00:15:04.060 say, damn

00:15:05.620 it, Scott, we

00:15:06.440 thought you

00:15:06.860 were done

00:15:07.300 talking about

00:15:08.000 vaccinations.

00:15:10.160 Is everybody

00:15:10.960 who's watching

00:15:11.540 me smart enough

00:15:12.380 to understand the

00:15:13.140 following nuance?

00:15:13.940 I don't give a

00:15:15.580 fuck about your

00:15:16.440 vaccination.

00:15:17.820 I don't care if

00:15:18.740 you're vaccinated.

00:15:19.800 I don't care if

00:15:20.740 you're a goddamn

00:15:21.660 pincushion.

00:15:22.860 I don't care if

00:15:23.660 the vaccination

00:15:24.140 killed you.

00:15:25.580 I don't care if

00:15:26.340 it saved your

00:15:26.840 life.

00:15:27.580 I don't care if

00:15:28.180 you jab yourself

00:15:29.780 with it all day

00:15:30.580 long.

00:15:31.000 I don't care if

00:15:31.580 you ignore it.

00:15:32.920 But I do care if

00:15:34.120 you understand how

00:15:34.900 to analyze facts.

00:15:37.900 Can we handle

00:15:39.140 this?

00:15:40.220 Is everybody

00:15:40.980 adult enough that

00:15:41.840 you can handle

00:15:42.360 the fact I

00:15:43.180 don't give a

00:15:43.720 fuck about

00:15:44.380 your vaccination

00:15:45.260 status?

00:15:46.680 I don't give a

00:15:47.340 fuck about what

00:15:48.180 you believe the

00:15:49.600 vaccination does or

00:15:51.240 does not do.

00:15:52.240 I don't give a

00:15:53.040 fuck if you call

00:15:54.020 it a shot or a

00:15:55.540 jab or a

00:15:56.260 vaccination.

00:15:57.140 I don't give a

00:15:57.920 fuck if you're

00:15:59.620 mad that they

00:16:00.340 said it would

00:16:00.780 prevent transmission

00:16:01.700 and it clearly

00:16:02.440 doesn't.

00:16:03.520 I don't give a

00:16:04.180 fuck about any

00:16:04.920 of that.

00:16:05.620 I don't give a

00:16:06.260 fuck about your

00:16:06.920 blood clots.

00:16:07.800 I don't give a

00:16:08.380 fuck about your

00:16:09.000 opinion about

00:16:09.580 whether I got it.

00:16:11.100 Are we clear on

00:16:11.800 all that?

00:16:13.060 Because the

00:16:13.720 next comment you're

00:16:15.320 going to see is

00:16:15.840 I thought you

00:16:16.840 were done talking

00:16:17.480 about vaccinations,

00:16:18.720 Scott.

00:16:19.200 I'm fucking done

00:16:20.140 about talking

00:16:20.660 vaccinations.

00:16:21.900 I'm only going to

00:16:22.420 talk about how we

00:16:23.940 analyze data.

00:16:24.940 Okay?

00:16:25.720 The vaccinations

00:16:26.300 will just be the

00:16:27.180 canvas.

00:16:30.660 So Stan Hazen

00:16:32.180 shows me these

00:16:33.140 statistics and he

00:16:35.120 says that basically

00:16:38.100 he shows that the

00:16:39.340 more shots you

00:16:40.300 got, the more

00:16:42.460 likely you're

00:16:43.060 going to die.

00:16:44.820 So the greatest

00:16:45.860 number of deaths

00:16:46.640 are among the

00:16:47.220 people who got

00:16:47.720 the most shots.

00:16:49.000 And so it proves

00:16:50.960 that Stan doesn't

00:16:51.980 know how to look

00:16:53.560 at data because

00:16:55.680 obviously the people

00:16:57.020 who believe they're

00:16:57.840 at the greatest

00:16:58.400 risk get the most

00:17:00.020 vaccinations.

00:17:01.720 Right?

00:17:01.960 So obviously

00:17:03.400 whether these

00:17:04.500 shots or

00:17:05.360 vaccinations or

00:17:06.280 jabs or whatever

00:17:07.020 you want to call

00:17:07.580 them, whether

00:17:08.600 they worked or

00:17:09.400 did not work,

00:17:10.300 you would see the

00:17:10.860 same data.

00:17:12.360 It would look

00:17:13.020 the same whether

00:17:15.580 they worked or did

00:17:16.400 not work in terms

00:17:17.320 of protecting you

00:17:18.240 from dying or

00:17:19.040 getting seriously

00:17:19.880 ill.

00:17:20.140 So that's the

00:17:21.740 first thing.

00:17:22.360 You cannot tell

00:17:23.180 anything by looking

00:17:24.220 at the number of

00:17:24.880 people who died

00:17:25.680 based on their

00:17:27.700 vaccination status.

00:17:28.860 It tells you

00:17:29.280 nothing.

00:17:30.460 The only thing

00:17:31.160 you could know

00:17:32.220 is if you could

00:17:33.320 isolate the people

00:17:34.280 with the exact

00:17:35.020 same conditions.

00:17:36.720 Let's say the

00:17:37.300 people who have

00:17:37.820 four comorbidities

00:17:39.120 or whatever,

00:17:40.580 and the people

00:17:41.060 of a certain age

00:17:41.840 and maybe even

00:17:42.760 gender and maybe

00:17:43.620 even ethnicity.

00:17:44.620 So you've corrected

00:17:45.320 for as many

00:17:46.460 variables as you

00:17:47.280 can.

00:17:47.540 Once you've

00:17:48.680 corrected for all

00:17:49.720 of the variables,

00:17:51.340 it might tell you

00:17:52.420 something, but it

00:17:54.520 doesn't tell you

00:17:55.040 something at all

00:17:55.980 until you've

00:17:56.480 corrected for all

00:17:57.120 those variables.

00:17:58.120 So again, did I

00:17:59.720 have a conversation

00:18:00.420 to you about

00:18:01.300 vaccinations?

00:18:02.920 Did that just

00:18:03.580 happen?

00:18:04.200 No, it didn't

00:18:04.880 fucking happen.

00:18:06.560 There was nothing

00:18:07.220 in this conversation

00:18:08.080 about vaccinations.

00:18:09.200 It was just the

00:18:10.220 context for analyzing

00:18:11.800 correlation versus

00:18:12.960 quotization.

00:18:14.860 I asked this

00:18:15.980 this Twitter poll

00:18:18.080 just to find out

00:18:19.960 how many people

00:18:20.620 are deeply in

00:18:21.520 cognitive distance.

00:18:25.120 This guy is

00:18:25.740 finally waking up.

00:18:27.760 On locals,

00:18:30.080 on locals,

00:18:30.860 I'm going to give

00:18:31.280 you one warning.

00:18:32.840 The next time you

00:18:33.980 fucking tell me

00:18:34.800 I'm just waking

00:18:35.580 up, I'm going to

00:18:36.920 kick you off the

00:18:37.560 platform.

00:18:38.320 Now, I know it's

00:18:38.820 a subscription

00:18:39.380 platform, but that's

00:18:42.040 not allowed.

00:18:43.120 I'm telling you

00:18:43.840 that's my limit.

00:18:44.620 If you tell me

00:18:46.320 that I'm waking

00:18:47.440 up when my

00:18:48.740 opinion is exactly

00:18:49.760 the fucking same

00:18:50.780 as it's always

00:18:51.380 been, I'm going

00:18:52.640 to ban you from

00:18:53.300 the subscription

00:18:53.940 platform.

00:18:55.260 Now, I've never

00:18:55.820 banned anybody

00:18:56.420 from locals

00:18:57.900 before, but that's

00:18:59.520 fucking over the

00:19:00.200 line.

00:19:01.540 Don't mischaracterize

00:19:03.880 my opinion in front

00:19:04.800 of other people.

00:19:06.400 You can do it by

00:19:07.580 yourself all day

00:19:08.360 long, but don't

00:19:09.960 do it in public,

00:19:10.780 not right in front

00:19:11.480 of me.

00:19:11.720 Don't mischaracterize

00:19:13.620 my opinion right

00:19:14.480 in front of me

00:19:15.080 in public.

00:19:17.120 I will ban

00:19:17.900 your ass from

00:19:19.000 even a subscription

00:19:19.940 service, right?

00:19:25.480 Am I having a

00:19:30.460 rough morning based

00:19:31.940 on low news?

00:19:34.320 Maybe.

00:19:36.900 Anyway, so I

00:19:37.860 asked this question.

00:19:39.180 If you knew, and

00:19:40.280 this is the key

00:19:41.080 part, if you knew

00:19:42.360 that a shot had a

00:19:43.240 strong chance of

00:19:43.980 minimizing your

00:19:44.600 illness and

00:19:45.040 maximizing your

00:19:45.800 survivability, but

00:19:48.160 had no impact on

00:19:49.260 transmission, so you

00:19:51.280 knew it wouldn't

00:19:51.820 stop people from

00:19:52.900 getting it, it

00:19:53.580 wouldn't stop you

00:19:54.180 from getting it, but

00:19:55.660 you did know, and

00:19:56.700 remember, this is

00:19:57.400 hypothetical because

00:19:58.260 nobody knows

00:19:58.860 anything.

00:20:00.280 Nobody knows

00:20:01.040 anything.

00:20:02.060 So it's purely

00:20:02.840 hypothetical.

00:20:04.280 If you could know,

00:20:05.840 if you could know,

00:20:07.240 which you can't, but

00:20:08.300 if you could know

00:20:09.020 that it would keep

00:20:11.080 you from getting

00:20:11.620 sick, would you

00:20:12.860 say it's useless or

00:20:14.000 useful?

00:20:15.120 And 30% said it's

00:20:16.420 useless.

00:20:18.680 Even the way I

00:20:20.200 limited the question,

00:20:21.580 30% of the people

00:20:22.760 were not willing to

00:20:23.800 admit that if

00:20:25.220 something's useful,

00:20:26.100 it's useful.

00:20:28.500 Think about that.

00:20:30.140 I basically said,

00:20:31.820 here's another way I

00:20:32.760 could have said the

00:20:33.380 question.

00:20:34.320 If something is

00:20:35.380 useful, is it

00:20:37.440 useful?

00:20:38.960 30% said no.

00:20:41.400 30% said if

00:20:42.520 something's useful,

00:20:43.260 it's not useful.

00:20:44.860 Because they needed

00:20:45.740 to be right, right?

00:20:47.800 Which is what I was

00:20:48.640 trying to discover.

00:20:49.740 Again, it's not

00:20:50.980 about vaccinations,

00:20:53.200 right?

00:20:53.560 This has nothing to

00:20:54.620 do with vaccinations.

00:20:55.980 It's just, can you

00:20:56.800 think?

00:20:57.980 Can you handle a

00:20:58.840 hypothetical question?

00:21:00.380 Because people keep

00:21:01.340 telling me that it's

00:21:02.000 useless.

00:21:02.300 And then in the

00:21:03.320 arguments, people

00:21:03.980 said, but, but,

00:21:05.360 but, but you

00:21:06.620 don't know.

00:21:08.000 Exactly.

00:21:08.900 You don't know.

00:21:10.520 But if you did

00:21:11.420 know.

00:21:13.680 And somehow people

00:21:14.720 can't handle if you

00:21:15.660 did know.

00:21:16.460 It's like too hard.

00:21:18.060 What's wrong with

00:21:18.640 that?

00:21:19.800 I don't know.

00:21:23.420 Did you hear that

00:21:24.420 there's a huge spike

00:21:25.500 in deaths in all

00:21:28.540 categories of people

00:21:29.540 and not COVID

00:21:31.660 related?

00:21:32.300 In other words,

00:21:33.000 it's not just

00:21:33.580 COVID deaths,

00:21:34.760 but there's

00:21:35.120 allegedly, and I,

00:21:38.000 by the way, I

00:21:38.480 don't believe this

00:21:39.240 is necessarily

00:21:39.860 true, but there's

00:21:41.540 at least one

00:21:42.020 insurance company

00:21:42.820 and one expert

00:21:43.700 who claims to

00:21:44.420 see some,

00:21:45.560 claims to have

00:21:46.240 seen some

00:21:46.540 military data.

00:21:48.560 Excuse me.

00:21:50.240 And allegedly,

00:21:52.080 allegedly, people

00:21:55.580 in all categories

00:21:56.800 are dying at a

00:21:57.580 higher rate.

00:21:58.040 Now, what could

00:22:00.160 explain that?

00:22:01.260 Do you think that

00:22:01.920 the only explanation

00:22:02.800 is that the

00:22:03.680 vaccinations

00:22:04.280 themselves, which

00:22:05.880 you call shots,

00:22:07.740 are killing people?

00:22:09.460 Is that the only

00:22:10.300 explanation?

00:22:10.940 Or is it even the

00:22:11.560 best explanation?

00:22:12.780 What do you think?

00:22:13.160 could be?

00:22:15.340 Could be.

00:22:19.240 But we would agree

00:22:20.220 it could be, right?

00:22:22.460 So we can't rule it

00:22:24.020 out.

00:22:24.560 Here are the other

00:22:25.080 things you can't rule

00:22:25.940 out.

00:22:26.800 You can't rule out

00:22:27.980 long COVID.

00:22:30.080 Because how many of

00:22:30.980 those people who died

00:22:32.440 had COVID?

00:22:34.940 And, you know, maybe

00:22:36.000 they got over it,

00:22:37.240 maybe they didn't have

00:22:38.000 any antibodies,

00:22:39.420 but maybe they had

00:22:40.180 some long COVID.

00:22:42.220 I don't know.

00:22:42.860 I don't even know if

00:22:43.520 long COVID is real.

00:22:45.000 Again, it's stuff we

00:22:46.100 don't know.

00:22:48.020 I'm seeing a good idea

00:22:50.640 here in the comments.

00:22:52.600 How do you know it

00:22:53.260 wasn't climate change?

00:22:55.120 Ah?

00:22:55.940 Ah?

00:22:56.460 That was a pretty good

00:22:57.100 comment, by the way.

00:22:58.300 It wasn't mine.

00:22:58.900 I wish I'd said it.

00:23:00.620 Why is this not

00:23:02.080 climate change?

00:23:03.020 Huh?

00:23:03.740 Huh?

00:23:04.560 If everything else

00:23:05.640 that's bad is driven

00:23:06.500 by climate change,

00:23:07.440 why isn't this down?

00:23:09.320 Okay, it's probably

00:23:10.000 not.

00:23:11.360 Here's another

00:23:12.060 possibility.

00:23:14.320 Have you walked

00:23:14.980 outside and looked

00:23:15.880 around at all?

00:23:17.880 At people?

00:23:19.260 Do people look a

00:23:20.540 little bit different

00:23:21.620 than they used to,

00:23:22.780 say, two years ago?

00:23:24.220 Have you noticed

00:23:25.100 anything about people

00:23:26.420 that looks different?

00:23:30.060 How about people

00:23:31.060 who are 20 to 40

00:23:32.060 pounds heavier than

00:23:32.940 they were two years

00:23:33.680 ago?

00:23:35.340 It's hugely obvious.

00:23:37.880 No pun intended.

00:23:38.620 Is it not obvious?

00:23:41.200 When you walk outside,

00:23:42.680 it's obvious, right?

00:23:44.140 There's just been

00:23:45.020 a gigantic increase

00:23:46.260 in obesity.

00:23:48.300 Could the increase

00:23:49.180 in obesity,

00:23:49.920 which one imagines

00:23:50.900 crosses every

00:23:51.880 demographic group

00:23:52.820 in age,

00:23:54.200 could that be

00:23:56.480 related to life

00:23:58.060 expectancies?

00:23:59.060 Because obesity

00:23:59.760 is one of the

00:24:00.460 biggest variables

00:24:01.340 in longevity.

00:24:02.600 longevity, and so

00:24:04.400 since we know

00:24:05.080 one of the biggest

00:24:05.900 levers for longevity

00:24:07.940 has been moved

00:24:09.340 a lot, why

00:24:11.120 wouldn't we go to

00:24:11.780 that as the

00:24:12.240 obvious?

00:24:13.740 Isn't huge weight

00:24:15.220 gain the most

00:24:16.120 obvious thing

00:24:16.980 that's happening?

00:24:17.800 It's not even in

00:24:18.720 the option set?

00:24:20.060 We're not even

00:24:20.780 considering that

00:24:21.520 possibility?

00:24:22.020 All right, here's

00:24:26.820 another thing that

00:24:27.480 I'm getting pissed

00:24:28.340 off about.

00:24:31.520 Can we stipulate

00:24:32.880 that 100% of the

00:24:36.060 people who are

00:24:36.620 smart enough to

00:24:38.180 own a device that

00:24:39.200 they could turn on

00:24:40.100 and watch this

00:24:42.220 thing, can we all

00:24:43.620 stipulate that 100%

00:24:44.840 of you know that

00:24:46.580 the shots were

00:24:48.760 presented as

00:24:49.900 something that

00:24:50.380 would stop

00:24:50.880 transmission, but

00:24:52.300 they do not?

00:24:54.040 Can we all just

00:24:54.680 stipulate that?

00:24:55.880 Because if you

00:24:56.960 keep telling me

00:24:57.820 that over and

00:24:58.680 over again, I

00:25:00.260 don't know how

00:25:00.800 many times I can

00:25:01.580 agree with you.

00:25:03.200 You're wearing me

00:25:03.940 down.

00:25:04.800 Can we just stop

00:25:05.820 saying the obvious

00:25:06.700 stuff?

00:25:07.560 It's not a

00:25:08.120 vaccination, it's a

00:25:09.340 shot.

00:25:10.180 Stop calling it a

00:25:11.120 vaccination.

00:25:11.740 We all know that.

00:25:13.440 100% of the

00:25:14.540 world knows that.

00:25:15.840 There's not a

00:25:16.560 fucking person in

00:25:17.440 the world who

00:25:17.960 doesn't know that

00:25:18.580 the vaccinations

00:25:19.860 are not

00:25:20.360 vaccinations,

00:25:21.120 really.

00:25:21.940 So if I use the

00:25:22.760 wrong word, can

00:25:24.900 you let it go?

00:25:26.380 Can you let that

00:25:27.320 go, maybe?

00:25:28.720 Just let it slide

00:25:29.560 a little bit?

00:25:32.740 All right, and

00:25:33.400 then there's people

00:25:33.980 who said, Scott,

00:25:35.320 your question was

00:25:36.140 unfair because you

00:25:38.560 did not include the

00:25:39.640 risk of the shot

00:25:40.540 itself, to which I

00:25:42.560 say that's correct.

00:25:44.080 I did also not

00:25:45.080 include the risk of

00:25:46.140 long COVID or

00:25:47.360 COVID itself.

00:25:48.960 These are all

00:25:49.540 unknowns, and

00:25:51.740 you all have to

00:25:53.880 guess.

00:25:54.820 We all have to

00:25:55.620 guess because they're

00:25:56.420 all unknowns.

00:25:58.520 Let's just move on

00:25:59.580 to the monkeypox

00:26:00.360 people.

00:26:02.060 You know, I

00:26:03.000 cannot get excited

00:26:04.060 about a national

00:26:05.340 problem that I

00:26:06.920 can avoid simply

00:26:08.340 by not having a

00:26:09.320 penis in my ass,

00:26:11.200 or vice versa, I

00:26:12.980 guess.

00:26:13.200 And I don't mean to

00:26:15.660 be crude, but has

00:26:18.120 there ever been a

00:26:18.760 problem that's easier

00:26:19.620 to avoid?

00:26:21.960 Like, avoiding COVID

00:26:23.880 was kind of hard.

00:26:26.060 You didn't know where

00:26:26.760 it was.

00:26:27.620 It's like, where is

00:26:28.220 this COVID?

00:26:28.760 It could be anywhere.

00:26:29.780 Where's the COVID

00:26:30.420 hiding?

00:26:30.940 I think there's some

00:26:31.640 in the air.

00:26:32.620 I don't know.

00:26:33.920 But if you were to

00:26:36.100 make a list of all the

00:26:37.640 types of disasters,

00:26:39.600 let's make a list.

00:26:40.400 We've got your

00:26:42.160 hurricanes.

00:26:43.920 We've got your

00:26:44.600 climate change

00:26:45.400 disasters.

00:26:46.180 We've got your

00:26:46.980 fires, your

00:26:48.060 nuclear wars.

00:26:49.840 You've got your

00:26:50.600 smaller, less

00:26:51.480 nuclear wars.

00:26:52.140 You've got your

00:26:52.540 Ukrainians.

00:26:53.920 Let's see, we've

00:26:54.820 got 700 really

00:26:57.480 bad global

00:26:59.800 problems.

00:27:01.000 And then one of

00:27:01.680 them is a

00:27:02.400 monkeypox.

00:27:04.960 Could you check

00:27:06.100 which of these

00:27:07.220 national problems

00:27:08.440 you would most

00:27:09.260 like to have

00:27:10.380 nuclear war?

00:27:13.860 No, I don't

00:27:14.820 want that.

00:27:16.180 COVID, no, I

00:27:17.660 do not want a

00:27:18.720 COVID pandemic.

00:27:20.160 No, inflation,

00:27:21.420 no, no

00:27:23.100 inflation.

00:27:24.540 Racism, get rid

00:27:26.740 of that racism.

00:27:27.500 I don't want

00:27:27.740 that.

00:27:28.180 Oh, hello

00:27:29.600 monkeypox.

00:27:31.520 Read a little

00:27:32.340 bit about you,

00:27:33.540 monkeypox.

00:27:35.100 Well, if you get

00:27:35.760 it, it looks, it's

00:27:36.620 pretty bad.

00:27:37.140 Okay, that's bad.

00:27:38.120 What would I

00:27:39.300 have to do to

00:27:40.020 avoid getting

00:27:41.660 the monkeypox?

00:27:43.600 Okay.

00:27:44.560 Do not put your

00:27:46.040 erect penis inside

00:27:47.400 a man's buttocks.

00:27:49.940 I could do that.

00:27:51.760 I could do that.

00:27:53.940 Additionally, avoid

00:27:55.800 letting another man

00:27:57.900 put his erect

00:27:58.700 penis into your

00:28:00.240 anal cavity.

00:28:01.040 I could do that.

00:28:03.820 I can do that.

00:28:05.980 I can do that.

00:28:07.900 This is my favorite

00:28:09.240 disaster of all

00:28:10.280 time.

00:28:11.360 My God.

00:28:13.200 Now, if I were

00:28:14.160 gay, to be fair,

00:28:17.060 this would be

00:28:17.620 harder.

00:28:18.900 I'm not sure I

00:28:19.600 could avoid it

00:28:20.300 entirely if I were

00:28:21.580 gay.

00:28:21.780 But since I'm

00:28:22.920 not, if I had

00:28:26.500 to choose

00:28:27.060 selfishly, I

00:28:29.820 mean, selfishly,

00:28:31.520 I think I'd

00:28:32.300 pick that one.

00:28:33.680 So that's your

00:28:34.640 sign of the

00:28:35.180 golden age when

00:28:36.760 you can avoid a

00:28:38.060 global problem

00:28:39.420 just by keeping

00:28:40.360 stuff out of

00:28:41.000 your ass,

00:28:41.560 basically.

00:28:43.520 All right.

00:28:46.680 What else?

00:28:48.540 God, there was

00:28:49.100 just nothing

00:28:49.480 happening today.

00:28:50.180 nothing happening.

00:28:53.940 Rectum.

00:28:56.420 That's a joke.

00:29:05.500 Shouldn't it be

00:29:06.280 easy to avoid

00:29:07.220 random partners?

00:29:10.320 If the gay

00:29:11.780 community just

00:29:12.840 stayed monogamous

00:29:14.360 for a month,

00:29:15.920 would the whole

00:29:17.120 problem go away?

00:29:19.100 Now, you're

00:29:19.900 probably not

00:29:20.260 allowed to say

00:29:20.820 that, right?

00:29:22.040 Because that

00:29:22.540 demonizes a

00:29:24.280 group of

00:29:24.700 people.

00:29:28.260 Let me be as

00:29:29.120 clear as

00:29:29.580 possible.

00:29:30.460 I'm not

00:29:31.000 demonizing anybody.

00:29:32.300 That would be a

00:29:33.020 victim group.

00:29:34.420 All right.

00:29:34.600 If men who

00:29:36.160 have sex with

00:29:36.700 men, as we

00:29:37.320 like to say,

00:29:38.340 if that's the

00:29:39.160 group with the

00:29:39.740 most impact,

00:29:41.860 then I'm not

00:29:43.380 demonizing them.

00:29:44.160 I feel empathy

00:29:46.400 because I

00:29:47.360 wouldn't want to

00:29:47.760 be in that

00:29:48.080 group and

00:29:48.580 have that

00:29:48.980 risk.

00:29:50.260 So I have

00:29:51.020 empathy, but

00:29:52.140 let's keep it

00:29:52.620 in perspective.

00:29:57.020 It just

00:29:57.460 recognizes that

00:29:58.640 some behaviors

00:29:59.260 have more

00:29:59.880 risk for this

00:30:00.500 particular

00:30:00.960 activity.

00:30:03.080 What is

00:30:05.240 monkeypox?

00:30:05.920 Is it a

00:30:07.220 disease?

00:30:08.700 What do you

00:30:09.240 call it?

00:30:09.880 What's the right

00:30:10.400 word for monkeypox?

00:30:11.380 A condition?

00:30:13.300 A disease?

00:30:14.760 A virus?

00:30:16.320 Just call it a

00:30:16.920 virus.

00:30:17.660 An STD?

00:30:19.020 An infection?

00:30:20.820 All right.

00:30:21.280 Let's call it

00:30:21.740 an infection.

00:30:27.660 Well, yes.

00:30:28.600 Obviously, it's a

00:30:29.340 problem of...

00:30:30.300 It's not a

00:30:30.860 problem for

00:30:31.320 monogamous

00:30:31.940 couples.

00:30:32.460 Yes, that's

00:30:32.900 true.

00:30:38.380 What do you

00:30:39.060 think?

00:30:41.380 What do you

00:30:41.700 think about

00:30:42.080 the fact

00:30:42.660 that some

00:30:44.140 states will

00:30:44.740 ban abortions,

00:30:46.680 and I guess

00:30:47.160 Indiana has a

00:30:48.380 pretty complete

00:30:48.960 ban.

00:30:50.620 At the same

00:30:51.400 time, it

00:30:52.880 looks like it

00:30:53.420 will be

00:30:53.840 somewhat, I'm

00:30:55.100 not going to

00:30:55.380 say easy, but

00:30:56.840 people who want

00:30:57.460 abortions will

00:30:58.100 probably be able

00:30:58.720 to find resources

00:30:59.580 for free to

00:31:01.940 get an abortion

00:31:03.100 and then come

00:31:04.700 back.

00:31:05.740 Would you be

00:31:06.560 happy if the

00:31:07.140 only thing that

00:31:07.740 happened to the

00:31:08.520 abortion rate is

00:31:10.020 that it became

00:31:10.560 less convened,

00:31:12.800 still the same

00:31:13.780 amount of

00:31:14.200 abortions?

00:31:15.220 Would you be

00:31:15.640 okay with that?

00:31:17.320 I mean, would

00:31:17.740 you say that

00:31:18.240 that was a

00:31:18.640 victory?

00:31:22.520 Somebody says

00:31:23.200 friction works,

00:31:24.440 but is it the

00:31:25.140 friction you want?

00:31:26.660 Do you want the

00:31:27.460 friction to be

00:31:28.360 that the people

00:31:30.240 least able to

00:31:31.200 get an abortion

00:31:32.020 are the ones

00:31:33.160 who don't get

00:31:33.680 it?

00:31:34.280 Is that the

00:31:34.780 friction you want

00:31:35.600 in society?

00:31:36.200 I don't know

00:31:37.760 if that's a

00:31:38.160 productive friction.

00:31:39.260 It might keep

00:31:41.100 more babies

00:31:42.740 coming full

00:31:43.680 term if that's

00:31:45.060 your objective.

00:31:50.740 Oh, it's

00:31:52.660 allowed for

00:31:53.140 incessant rape

00:31:53.860 and health.

00:31:54.480 Are you saying

00:31:55.180 that the

00:31:55.520 Indiana law

00:31:56.260 allows for

00:31:57.600 those special

00:31:58.140 cases?

00:31:58.540 Is that true?

00:32:02.520 Oh, okay.

00:32:03.640 Well, that helps.

00:32:04.240 You know, I

00:32:07.320 try to stay out

00:32:07.980 of the abortion

00:32:09.100 question because

00:32:09.980 I'm a man who

00:32:11.960 does not have

00:32:12.520 babies.

00:32:16.520 But I'll tell

00:32:18.260 you one thing

00:32:18.840 that I can have

00:32:20.900 a solid opinion

00:32:22.140 on.

00:32:24.920 If I were a

00:32:26.520 woman and if

00:32:28.760 I got pregnant

00:32:30.280 as a result of

00:32:31.180 a rape, I

00:32:32.900 would want to

00:32:33.360 kill both the

00:32:33.920 rapist and

00:32:34.580 whatever was

00:32:35.140 inside me.

00:32:36.320 I'd want to

00:32:37.060 kill that

00:32:37.540 thing so

00:32:37.960 badly.

00:32:39.140 I'd want it

00:32:40.060 dead, like

00:32:41.440 deader than

00:32:41.940 dead.

00:32:42.420 I wouldn't

00:32:42.720 care that it

00:32:43.160 was half me.

00:32:44.260 But that's

00:32:44.620 just me.

00:32:46.160 That's just

00:32:46.580 me.

00:32:48.200 Yeah.

00:32:48.800 And I'm not

00:32:49.860 in the position

00:32:50.400 of anybody who's

00:32:51.140 in that, who

00:32:52.140 could have that

00:32:52.620 risk.

00:32:53.260 So you should

00:32:53.860 ignore my

00:32:55.560 opinion.

00:32:57.200 Can we all

00:32:57.700 agree on that?

00:32:59.220 Can we all

00:32:59.700 agree that my

00:33:01.220 speculative opinion

00:33:02.400 opinion of

00:33:02.860 what I would

00:33:03.600 do if I

00:33:04.140 were in that

00:33:04.520 condition should

00:33:05.680 be ignored by

00:33:06.500 all of you.

00:33:07.080 It has no

00:33:07.820 impact on the

00:33:09.720 real world.

00:33:11.220 So I'm just

00:33:11.980 saying that if

00:33:12.440 somebody else had

00:33:13.100 that opinion, I

00:33:14.940 would certainly

00:33:15.460 respect it.

00:33:16.280 I would respect

00:33:19.180 it.

00:33:22.040 But I would

00:33:22.800 also respect

00:33:23.440 anybody who

00:33:24.020 makes a

00:33:24.520 considered

00:33:25.320 decision about

00:33:26.260 abortions.

00:33:28.040 You know, I

00:33:29.400 feel like I

00:33:30.240 would respect

00:33:30.780 anybody who

00:33:31.560 put real

00:33:32.480 thought into

00:33:33.060 it, wherever

00:33:34.460 they come

00:33:34.880 down to it.

00:33:35.440 You're

00:33:47.160 disappointed in

00:33:47.720 my economics

00:33:48.460 understanding.

00:33:49.540 I taught you

00:33:50.480 about friction.

00:33:51.400 You're just

00:33:52.200 parroting back

00:33:52.900 the things that

00:33:54.000 I tell you.

00:33:55.140 Of course

00:33:56.000 friction would

00:33:56.740 give you less

00:33:58.020 of it.

00:33:58.920 Of course it

00:33:59.500 would.

00:34:00.580 But are you

00:34:03.140 really going to

00:34:03.660 see friction?

00:34:05.460 Imagine that

00:34:06.160 you had these

00:34:06.680 two worlds.

00:34:08.180 Let's take

00:34:08.800 Indiana.

00:34:09.660 One is that

00:34:10.460 somebody gets

00:34:11.040 pregnant and

00:34:11.800 let's say

00:34:12.160 the only way

00:34:14.560 they can get

00:34:15.040 an abortion

00:34:15.480 is to figure

00:34:16.960 it out

00:34:17.220 themselves.

00:34:18.340 They've got

00:34:18.820 to go to

00:34:19.340 wherever you

00:34:19.780 get them

00:34:20.180 and you go

00:34:20.680 get one.

00:34:21.480 Now let's

00:34:21.900 say that

00:34:22.180 changes to

00:34:23.680 you have to

00:34:24.080 take a bus

00:34:24.740 ride for

00:34:25.460 six hours

00:34:26.260 but somebody

00:34:27.200 else is

00:34:27.540 paying for

00:34:28.020 it and

00:34:29.520 somebody else

00:34:30.120 is holding

00:34:30.500 your hand

00:34:30.940 through the

00:34:31.320 process.

00:34:31.760 It wouldn't

00:34:33.520 be worse.

00:34:35.120 It wouldn't

00:34:35.640 be worse.

00:34:36.360 It might be

00:34:36.960 an extra

00:34:37.400 day or two

00:34:38.420 but for

00:34:39.960 something that

00:34:40.480 important I

00:34:41.020 don't know if

00:34:41.500 the extra day

00:34:42.040 or two would

00:34:42.460 make that

00:34:42.920 much difference

00:34:43.500 to your

00:34:43.780 planning.

00:34:44.420 There would

00:34:44.800 be some

00:34:45.120 friction so

00:34:46.140 it would

00:34:46.420 reduce the

00:34:46.980 amount.

00:34:47.560 You're right.

00:34:52.460 They might

00:34:53.120 not continue

00:34:53.800 to do it.

00:34:55.800 No, no.

00:34:59.500 Society will

00:35:00.200 never value

00:35:00.780 life if

00:35:01.460 the most

00:35:01.780 vulnerable

00:35:02.260 among us

00:35:03.020 isn't

00:35:03.620 considered

00:35:04.060 worthy of

00:35:04.800 protection.

00:35:08.260 We already

00:35:09.340 don't protect

00:35:10.500 the, I

00:35:12.620 mean, that's

00:35:13.060 our normal

00:35:13.540 situation is

00:35:14.340 we don't

00:35:14.940 protect the

00:35:15.540 most vulnerable.

00:35:22.520 Stop using

00:35:23.320 it as a

00:35:23.780 birth control

00:35:24.340 method.

00:35:24.680 All right.

00:35:30.080 I don't

00:35:30.620 think there's

00:35:30.940 anything else

00:35:31.360 happening today

00:35:31.920 so I think

00:35:34.360 I'm going to

00:35:34.660 call it

00:35:35.000 short and

00:35:36.980 we'll get to

00:35:37.460 some other

00:35:37.900 things and

00:35:38.780 get on to

00:35:39.120 another day.

00:35:40.300 Maybe I'll be

00:35:40.760 less grumpy

00:35:41.300 tomorrow.

00:35:41.720 Bye for now.

00:35:43.520 Bye for now.
