Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2145 Scott Adams： Trump Interview, Scientists Who Can't Debate, Loneliness Kills？ Woke Oscar

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization, the thing

00:00:07.440 that's better than everything else.

00:00:10.560 It's called coffee with Scott Adams, and if you'd like to take this experience up to levels

00:00:15.840 that can only be described as stratospheric, well, all you need is a cup or a mug or a

00:00:21.260 glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it

00:00:26.820 with your favorite liquid, I like coffee, and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:00:33.020 the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:36.460 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:00:38.240 Go.

00:00:42.700 Ah.

00:00:43.960 Ah.

00:00:45.920 Delightful.

00:00:47.540 Well, we got some news today.

00:00:50.100 Today's theme for my live stream will be science.

00:00:55.240 Science and everything it does right, because science is perfect.

00:01:03.160 You know, it's funny, science has never made a mistake.

00:01:06.860 No, no, no, that's not the message.

00:01:09.600 It might be a little closer to the opposite of that.

00:01:11.660 All right, here's a story from the Wall Street Journal that shows that people who eat a bunch

00:01:16.000 of processed foods, they die sooner.

00:01:19.400 If the more processed foods you eat, the more likely you are to get cancer and other stuff

00:01:26.960 and die. 0.95

00:01:28.920 Now, do you believe that that's good science?

00:01:33.420 That they found that people who eat the processed foods are the most likely to die sooner.

00:01:40.900 Do you see any problem with that science?

00:01:42.440 Just on the surface, you don't know anything about it.

00:01:46.140 Do you see any problem there?

00:01:49.540 I do.

00:01:51.360 Yeah.

00:01:52.400 Let me ask you something.

00:01:54.320 If you were to take all the people who eat processed foods, put them in one group, and

00:02:00.140 then you took all the people who never eat processed foods or avoid it as much as they can, put

00:02:05.880 them in another group, what would be different about those groups in addition to their diets?

00:02:14.420 What would be different about them?

00:02:16.020 Well, the obesity would be caused in part by the processed foods.

00:02:19.360 So that's true, but that's not what I'm looking for.

00:02:23.100 Don't you think that the people who avoid processed foods intentionally, just bear with me, if you're

00:02:31.080 a person who would intentionally avoid processed foods, isn't it likely that you would also

00:02:36.900 intentionally do everything else that's good for you?

00:02:40.400 Intentionally.

00:02:41.440 You'd probably exercise.

00:02:43.640 You'd probably watch how much protein to carbs you eat.

00:02:47.860 You'd probably brush your teeth.

00:02:51.400 You'd probably do every single thing.

00:02:53.400 You'd probably not smoke.

00:02:54.780 Yeah, you'd probably not smoke cigarettes.

00:02:56.740 You'd probably do everything that's good for you and nothing that's bad for you.

00:03:00.420 And are you surprised that those people live longer?

00:03:04.640 All right.

00:03:05.200 Now, I've been doing some personal experimentation with trying to avoid processed foods because

00:03:13.000 I have some kind of weird allergy to something that's in a lot of processed foods, sulfites.

00:03:18.980 And I discovered that when I stopped eating processed foods, exactly as the Wall Street Journal

00:03:24.820 article says, I lost my hunger.

00:03:28.820 Isn't that weird?

00:03:30.420 I lost hunger.

00:03:32.240 I just wasn't hungry.

00:03:34.480 I had plenty of food, but I just ate, you know, like a salmon and a piece of broccoli

00:03:42.960 or something.

00:03:44.060 So basically, no processed foods, and I was not hungry ever.

00:03:47.840 I would have to eat dinner just because it was time to eat dinner.

00:03:52.860 Think about that.

00:03:54.260 Think about going from hungry all the time, which was, I guess that was my default for

00:03:59.700 my entire life.

00:04:01.660 Most of my life, I don't remember not being hungry.

00:04:05.380 I'm just always hungry.

00:04:06.560 But as soon as you stop eating the processed foods, it just leaves your mind.

00:04:14.020 You just don't even think of hunger until you're really, really hungry, and then you do,

00:04:18.420 of course.

00:04:18.680 So I would say my experience with processed foods and avoiding them is I had an immediate,

00:04:26.000 immediate, healthier feeling.

00:04:29.380 And, you know, my sinuses cleared up.

00:04:33.800 And so last night I experimented with some soy sauce on some sushi, and my head swelled up,

00:04:44.440 and it was exactly like I remembered.

00:04:46.280 As soon as I added just a little bit of processed stuff, the soy sauce, my head swelled up and

00:04:52.820 it was hard to breathe.

00:04:54.040 So I would give you this following recommendation.

00:05:00.940 You know, I'm not a doctor, so I don't give you health recommendations per se, but I will

00:05:06.040 give you experimenting recommendations.

00:05:08.900 You should experiment with your diet all the time.

00:05:13.200 Just never stop, because you're always learning new things and finding out new things.

00:05:17.440 So you should always be saying, all right, let me try a week, and I'll take dairy out of

00:05:22.300 my diet just to see.

00:05:24.680 Take a week and take wheat out of my diet.

00:05:28.000 Just find out.

00:05:29.640 I also experimented eating Subway subs.

00:05:35.540 Do you remember when they had the commercials that said you can lose weight eating Subway?

00:05:39.960 And I thought, that can't possibly be true, because it's mostly this big piece of bread.

00:05:46.600 And, you know, all the sauces and stuff.

00:05:48.100 How in the world could you lose weight eating Safeway?

00:05:51.840 So I've actually done this experiment.

00:05:54.040 Where I'd say, all right, I'll replace two meals a week with my favorite 12-inch Subway.

00:06:00.380 So it's not even a small one.

00:06:01.640 It's a 12-inch-er.

00:06:03.360 And I would absolutely lose weight.

00:06:05.020 I've tried that experiment several times.

00:06:08.160 And if the only thing I do is replace two meals a week with a Subway, I actually lost weight.

00:06:14.760 And I didn't do anything else different.

00:06:15.920 So that's an example of an experiment that could change your whole life.

00:06:22.900 Experimenting with your diet is probably one of the most effective things you can do for your happiness and success.

00:06:31.020 All right.

00:06:33.080 But I'm not sure this specific study was necessarily telling you what you needed to know.

00:06:39.820 All right.

00:06:39.980 Here's another one.

00:06:41.280 Loneliness kills.

00:06:42.780 So there's a study saying there's a very high correlation that lonely people, the most socially isolated, have a much higher risk of dying early.

00:06:51.200 Is that good science?

00:06:54.360 The people who don't have friends and are isolated are the ones who die soonest.

00:07:02.580 All right.

00:07:03.380 Now let's do the experiment again.

00:07:05.600 We're going to take two groups of people, and they're going to be standing in a public square.

00:07:10.240 One group has no friends.

00:07:12.880 But we'll make them stand together anyway because it's funny.

00:07:16.380 And another group has lots of friends.

00:07:18.800 And you're going to look at those two groups.

00:07:20.140 Do you notice anything different about them?

00:07:22.540 Anything different?

00:07:24.340 Yes.

00:07:24.740 The people with lots of friends will look attractive and healthy.

00:07:30.580 That's why they have lots of friends.

00:07:33.340 People like to be around attractive, healthy people who've, you know, got something going on.

00:07:38.820 People who have energy.

00:07:41.380 Basically, all the things that signal good health are exactly the things that draw people to you.

00:07:47.860 That's what makes you a magnet for other people.

00:07:50.640 Because they go, oh, here's somebody who has no problems.

00:07:52.700 They're always in a good mood.

00:07:53.940 Seem healthy.

00:07:55.200 I think I'd like to hang around with that person.

00:07:58.380 So again, while I do believe that loneliness is dangerous, just like I do believe that processed foods are bad for you,

00:08:07.140 I don't believe in science.

00:08:09.140 Because in science there's too many other things that could cause this bad health.

00:08:16.420 You know?

00:08:16.940 Do you want to hang around with somebody?

00:08:19.200 Here's two people in your life.

00:08:21.680 Hey, Scott, how's it going?

00:08:23.540 That's great.

00:08:24.380 It's great.

00:08:24.760 I just went for a long run.

00:08:26.400 Hey, do you want to get together and play some tennis tomorrow?

00:08:28.460 All right, that's one person.

00:08:31.520 Now I'm going to be another person.

00:08:33.380 Hey, Scott, how's it going?

00:08:35.460 Oh, I'll tell you.

00:08:38.140 I just came back from the doctors and looks like I'll have another week in bed.

00:08:42.420 Who am I going to hang around with more?

00:08:46.160 Which one of them gets more friends?

00:08:49.320 Right?

00:08:49.900 It's the correlation causation problem again.

00:08:52.940 But I do think they got the right answer.

00:08:55.480 I just don't know that the science was valid.

00:08:59.000 All right, let's talk about the worst prediction I ever made that was close to the best.

00:09:05.780 So here's a prediction I got 100% wrong, but it turns out it was so close to being an amazing right prediction.

00:09:15.840 It has to do with my prediction that even though Putin had amassed a war machine on the border of Ukraine,

00:09:25.520 I said until the day they crossed the border, I said he wasn't going to do it.

00:09:31.460 Now, that looks pretty stupid by today's perspective, right?

00:09:34.960 I mean, everybody else said, everybody, everybody said he's obviously going to attack.

00:09:42.860 He's got his army on the border.

00:09:44.900 And then he attacked.

00:09:46.340 Just like you do when you put your army on the border.

00:09:49.260 So, boy, A got in my face, right?

00:09:51.520 Stupid, stupid Scott got that one so wrong.

00:09:54.420 How could I get that so wrong?

00:09:57.440 So today we find out, or yesterday, RFK Jr. was tweeting about it,

00:10:02.920 that in March of 2022, before the invasion,

00:10:08.040 Israel's Prime Minister Bennett went to Moscow to work on a deal,

00:10:13.480 and he made a deal to avoid the war.

00:10:16.700 So he made a deal that Zelensky and Putin were both willing to accept to end the war.

00:10:22.400 And in broad strokes, it looked like Zelensky would agree to not join NATO.

00:10:30.040 Putin would agree to not murder Zelensky.

00:10:33.740 They would have some stability about where the current border was.

00:10:37.760 I guess Crimea would go to Russia.

00:10:39.620 And basically, they had a deal.

00:10:45.640 So I was this close to having one of the most amazing predictions,

00:10:51.720 because I said it wasn't going to happen.

00:10:53.800 And it turns out that neither Zelensky nor Putin wanted it to happen,

00:10:57.640 even when the army was on the border.

00:10:59.940 Neither of them wanted it.

00:11:01.700 And they both had a deal to avoid it.

00:11:04.660 Do you know how the deal got ruined?

00:11:06.960 Because the United States and maybe some other countries,

00:11:10.800 at least Great Britain,

00:11:12.180 decided they wanted the war more than they wanted the peace.

00:11:16.380 They actually wanted the war.

00:11:18.580 They wanted the war to degrade Russia's capabilities.

00:11:23.560 And one of the U.S. generals said that directly.

00:11:27.400 I forget which one.

00:11:28.940 Said it directly.

00:11:30.360 You know, the war is good because it degrades Russia. 1.00

00:11:32.920 So I was so close to getting that right,

00:11:39.760 but what I did not anticipate is that there would be legitimate countries

00:11:44.600 with seemingly legitimate countries that wanted war

00:11:50.180 for the benefit of the war.

00:11:53.420 The benefit of the war. 0.97

00:11:55.620 Like, those words shouldn't even go together.

00:11:57.620 The benefit of a war? 0.99

00:11:58.780 It's just like crazy talk.

00:12:03.840 And this sounds like it's pretty well documented.

00:12:07.620 Now, here's what I tweeted to be provocative, but useful.

00:12:12.440 In my opinion, that's a war that Trump would have avoided.

00:12:17.340 Who disagrees?

00:12:19.080 Trump would have avoided that war because he didn't want a war.

00:12:22.860 Apparently, the United States wanted a war,

00:12:24.960 or government wanted a war.

00:12:26.060 He didn't want one.

00:12:26.820 Do you think he could have stopped it?

00:12:29.620 I say yes.

00:12:31.280 All right, here's a second question.

00:12:33.420 Do you think that any of the GOP candidates

00:12:36.280 who are currently running, any of them,

00:12:39.200 do you think that any of them would have allowed that war to happen?

00:12:42.300 Any of them.

00:12:44.000 I say no.

00:12:45.460 I say there's not one Republican candidate

00:12:47.520 who would have allowed that war to happen,

00:12:49.460 and we had the power to stop it.

00:12:52.340 We did have the power to stop it.

00:12:54.100 That seems to be in evidence.

00:12:56.820 Now, I'm going to make it even more provocative.

00:13:00.140 You ready?

00:13:01.160 I'm going to take it one level further.

00:13:04.140 Almost any Democratic president could have stopped that war.

00:13:09.040 RFK Jr. could have stopped it.

00:13:11.940 Almost anybody that you could imagine who was running for president

00:13:14.820 could have stopped the war simply by not wanting it.

00:13:18.560 That's all it took.

00:13:19.540 All it took was not wanting it.

00:13:23.420 That's it.

00:13:24.320 There were no other obstacles.

00:13:26.300 You just had to say, I don't want a war,

00:13:28.920 and then agree to the deal that Zelensky and Putin

00:13:31.680 looked like they were agreeing to.

00:13:33.760 That's all it took.

00:13:35.740 And we couldn't get it done.

00:13:38.000 Now, are you ready for the next level of provocation?

00:13:40.160 All right?

00:13:41.620 I told you Trump could have avoided that war.

00:13:43.900 I told you any Republican could have avoided the war.

00:13:47.140 And I told you just about any Democrat probably would have avoided that war.

00:13:52.280 Do you know what the conclusion is?

00:13:55.340 Do you know what the conclusion is?

00:13:57.040 That during that time, we did not have a president.

00:14:03.920 That's the only logical conclusion.

00:14:06.540 Because any functioning president of the United States

00:14:09.760 would have easily stopped the war.

00:14:14.060 Just hold that in your head for a moment.

00:14:16.860 Any president, any president of the United States

00:14:20.280 would have stopped that war.

00:14:21.740 We didn't have one.

00:14:23.840 We actually didn't have a president.

00:14:27.040 I feel like that's an evidence now

00:14:29.960 that we didn't have a president,

00:14:31.300 which would indicate we don't have one now.

00:14:35.140 Right?

00:14:35.800 In other words, Biden just wasn't,

00:14:38.320 he didn't have the faculties to be a real president.

00:14:41.320 We acted exactly like we didn't have a president.

00:14:45.020 Am I wrong?

00:14:46.420 I'm looking at your comments to see if there's any pushback.

00:14:48.780 We acted exactly like we didn't have a president.

00:14:53.220 We didn't have a commander-in-chief.

00:14:55.380 There just wasn't one.

00:14:57.040 Because the military-industrial complex

00:15:00.200 apparently got everything they wanted.

00:15:02.680 And that's not what happens when you have an actual president.

00:15:05.660 Unless the president is so deeply in their pockets, of course.

00:15:08.240 So, if I were Trump, and I wanted to make that point,

00:15:17.300 that's the way I would say it.

00:15:19.400 I would say, I would have stopped that war. 0.96

00:15:22.000 But you know what?

00:15:23.360 So would everybody running against me.

00:15:25.860 So would any Democratic president.

00:15:28.340 We didn't have a president.

00:15:30.320 We didn't have one.

00:15:31.380 Well, if you'd like a president, after four years of not having one, I'm offering that to you.

00:15:37.580 What do you think?

00:15:40.740 Pretty good, right?

00:15:41.820 Yeah, Brzezinski.

00:15:46.860 Yeah.

00:15:47.680 And then his daughter on MSNBC.

00:15:51.520 All right.

00:15:54.980 All right.

00:15:56.560 So Trump did an interview on Fox News with Brett Baier.

00:15:59.540 And everybody who hates Fox News is hopping mad.

00:16:05.020 And Brett Hume made things worse by mocking Trump's performance in the interview.

00:16:12.900 And what Brett said was Trump's defense of why he took the classified documents

00:16:19.700 was sort of basically seemed to verge on incoherent.

00:16:24.920 That's what Brett said.

00:16:26.160 And he said it was not altogether clear what he was saying.

00:16:30.080 So I went back and listened.

00:16:33.100 When you hear something like, oh, a president is saying something incoherent,

00:16:38.840 my mind goes to God save the Queen and everything that Biden does,

00:16:45.980 where he's just incoherent.

00:16:48.300 But I thought, Trump was incoherent?

00:16:51.660 Really?

00:16:52.220 So I thought, I'm going to have to hear that myself.

00:16:55.300 Because that would be big news.

00:16:56.620 If Trump suddenly started acting incoherent, that would be big news to me.

00:17:05.180 I mean, that would certainly change a lot about my opinion if he started acting incoherent.

00:17:10.100 And here's a big news guy, trusted.

00:17:13.260 You know, I have a lot of respect for Brett Hume.

00:17:15.220 If he says he watched it and it looked incoherent, that sounds credible to me.

00:17:21.480 But I wanted to see it for myself.

00:17:24.020 And I didn't see anything incoherent.

00:17:26.640 Did you?

00:17:27.800 Did anybody watch the interview?

00:17:29.420 And to me, it seemed maybe not passing the fact-checking, but that's normal.

00:17:37.660 But he said something very clear.

00:17:40.200 I didn't have time to look through the boxes.

00:17:43.160 So it wasn't that I was resisting.

00:17:44.920 I just didn't have time to look through all the boxes and sort it out.

00:17:47.900 We were still negotiating.

00:17:49.980 Now, again, I'm not saying it's true.

00:17:52.380 I'm saying it was perfectly easy to understand.

00:17:56.760 Yeah, he didn't have time to go through the boxes.

00:18:00.220 And that it was all declassified by the act of taking him with him.

00:18:05.020 How is that confusing?

00:18:08.040 I'm confused about why that's confusing.

00:18:11.680 It's exactly what he's been saying, and we all understand it.

00:18:15.520 It might not be all of the story.

00:18:18.540 It doesn't mean it passes legal muster.

00:18:21.540 I'm just saying it's an easy-to-understand story.

00:18:25.040 It's pretty straightforward.

00:18:28.680 So I'm a little puzzled by the pushback on how bad he was.

00:18:34.980 The only thing I saw that was clearly a mistake was his haircut.

00:18:40.020 Did he see?

00:18:40.480 I mean, he needs to fire whoever let him go on camera with the way his hair was combed.

00:18:48.380 I mean, it's always interesting.

00:18:50.140 But it was just a disaster.

00:18:52.660 Like, I couldn't not look at it.

00:18:54.080 I was like, what happened to your hair?

00:18:55.960 Who did that to you?

00:18:58.940 All right.

00:19:01.820 So that was a sort of a story non-story.

00:19:04.580 Here's something that's blowing me away.

00:19:10.940 Oh, I guess the one thing that Briz said he did that was a mistake.

00:19:15.280 I didn't see the clip on that, but it sounds like a mistake.

00:19:18.280 That when asked how he would win back women, I guess, suburban women or something,

00:19:24.020 he complained that he didn't really lose the 2020 election.

00:19:29.140 I don't think that was the right play.

00:19:34.700 I think he's going to need more future-looking stuff to get it done.

00:19:40.640 But according to some polls, Trump is trailing Biden in the general election.

00:19:47.900 And I asked myself, how in the world is that possible?

00:19:54.740 How in the world could Biden be beating Trump in a poll right now?

00:20:00.260 Like, you know, obviously we're all watching our own little biased news sources.

00:20:03.560 So if that's not the news source you're watching.

00:20:08.520 But it seems to me that if you were to look at the things that Biden did from, you know,

00:20:16.840 blowing the removal of forces from Afghanistan, nobody thinks he did that right.

00:20:25.300 If you look at the severity of the lockdowns and the rights that he took away from people,

00:20:30.640 nobody thinks he got that right, I don't think.

00:20:33.560 And if you look at the Ukraine war, I think people would reasonably think that Biden was the problem there

00:20:43.400 and that the war itself wouldn't have even happened without him being degraded, which is what I believe.

00:20:50.020 Yeah, inflation, you'd be directly involved in that.

00:20:53.380 And I just don't understand.

00:20:56.140 Well, I do understand.

00:20:57.440 So I'm saying that with hyperbole.

00:21:00.920 I think what it does is it shows you the power of the press, that people have been propagandized to the point and brainwashed,

00:21:10.700 that they think he did a good job because there was a, what did he get past, an infrastructure bill?

00:21:19.180 Has anybody, anybody gotten any benefits from the infrastructure bill yet?

00:21:26.560 Is anybody aware of any, even one thing that's been built because of the infrastructure bill?

00:21:33.600 I'm not.

00:21:35.380 Do you know of anything that got built because of the infrastructure bill?

00:21:39.460 Now, presumably there will be lots of things that get built.

00:21:42.480 It's just that, you know, budgets will be bigger than they were and it's sort of invisible.

00:21:48.760 So, hold on, hold on.

00:21:53.840 We've got to, hold on, stop everything.

00:21:56.740 On YouTube, there's somebody who just joined to missed the sip.

00:22:01.780 We're going to give you a special interstitial sip.

00:22:04.780 This is just for the people who missed it.

00:22:07.500 Hurry, hurry, grab your cup.

00:22:09.240 Grab it, grab it, grab it. 0.99

00:22:10.600 Now.

00:22:11.460 Get it, get it, get it.

00:22:16.680 Ah.

00:22:19.360 That was just for you who came in late.

00:22:21.600 I like to take care of everybody.

00:22:24.060 You're all my special people.

00:22:26.980 All right.

00:22:27.360 So, the Oscars have gone awoke.

00:22:32.520 I saw a tweet by Catherine Brodsky.

00:22:35.660 So, the Oscars have introduced three new eligibility rules.

00:22:39.280 So, you can't get them.

00:22:40.220 You will not get an Oscar unless you satisfy these new rules.

00:22:44.300 Number one, the lead or key supporting character must be from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group.

00:22:51.540 Two, main storyline needs to focus on an underrepresented group, underrepresented group.

00:23:01.060 And then, or, so this one's an or, so you can do that, or, at least 30% of the cast must come from underrepresented groups.

00:23:12.020 Funny they'd say underrepresented.

00:23:16.000 Underrepresented.

00:23:16.660 Interesting, interesting choice of words.

00:23:18.540 Now, let me ask you a question.

00:23:23.140 For years, I've been using the Oscars as a guide to what movies to watch.

00:23:28.740 Have you been doing that?

00:23:31.040 If a movie won an Oscar, I'd say, oh, I'm not going to watch that.

00:23:37.160 Right?

00:23:39.580 Am I right?

00:23:40.500 If it won an Oscar, you're going to say, I'm not going near that fucking thing.

00:23:44.020 That's like a badge of shame.

00:23:46.200 If you win an Oscar, it just means that you were woke.

00:23:51.280 That's all it's meant for years.

00:23:53.220 For years, it just meant you were super woke, and you made a movie about somebody who had a physical disability,

00:24:00.180 or some problem with being gay.

00:24:03.500 That was about it.

00:24:05.100 That was about it.

00:24:06.120 Couldn't win otherwise.

00:24:06.860 So I'm not sure that these rules of formalizing it make much difference to an irrelevant thing.

00:24:12.840 But I have been using it as a reliable guide to what not to watch, and I think it's served me well.

00:24:19.120 So the Oscars as a guide to what not to watch, keep on going.

00:24:23.640 I find that a valuable service.

00:24:26.980 All right.

00:24:27.620 The big story on the Internet is this Joe Rogan wants Dr. Hotez, who's a pro-vaccination kind of an expert,

00:24:35.840 to get on there and debate RFK Jr.

00:24:39.480 And Dr. Hotez is acting a little cagey.

00:24:43.840 I don't believe he said flat-out no.

00:24:47.920 I saw a clip where somebody asked him about it, and he said he had received the offer.

00:24:54.820 So all he was saying is he had received the offer, which suggested he was at least considering it.

00:25:00.520 At least considering it.

00:25:01.860 And then there was a whole bunch of talk on the Internet that the worst way to find the truth

00:25:11.040 would be to have one expert scientist talk to somebody who was not an expert scientist.

00:25:18.300 And so all the smart people, have you heard of them?

00:25:21.420 They're highly educated.

00:25:23.080 Highly educated.

00:25:24.000 Yeah, all of the smart people who watch CNN and MSNBC, they weighed in and said,

00:25:29.180 Oh, well, you anti-science idiots.

00:25:34.700 You idiots.

00:25:35.820 How much are you going to learn by having a famous expert talk to somebody who has no training in the field?

00:25:47.120 Oh, the low educated are so entertaining with their little ideas about Joe Rogan.

00:25:53.580 Come on.

00:25:54.780 Come on, get out of here, you pests. 0.86

00:25:57.660 Just get out of here. 0.96

00:25:59.400 Isn't that what you heard?

00:26:00.220 It was like this immense level, it was like this layer of arrogance, you know,

00:26:05.660 descended from the clouds and just covered us for a little bit.

00:26:08.840 I was like, am I covered by arrogance right now?

00:26:12.200 That there's nobody who can talk to a scientist?

00:26:15.780 Because that wouldn't be good.

00:26:17.800 Let me tell you what you smart, educated people,

00:26:23.380 I'm not sure if that applies to anybody here or not,

00:26:25.900 but let me tell you what you're missing in this.

00:26:30.860 I would rather have a qualified scientist talk to somebody who's good at identifying bullshit

00:26:38.120 than I would have two qualified scientists debate,

00:26:42.380 and then when they're done, I don't know who did the better job.

00:26:46.040 How would I know?

00:26:47.880 Two qualified scientists.

00:26:50.540 I claim this study is good.

00:26:52.940 I claim this other study is better.

00:26:56.300 How do you know?

00:26:57.900 What good is that going to do?

00:27:00.220 They're going to both say they have studies.

00:27:02.620 And then you're going to say, well, what's a good one?

00:27:04.880 Then one will say, well, yours is weak.

00:27:06.860 And the other one says, well, yours is weak.

00:27:09.100 What do you do?

00:27:11.100 I don't think that the two experts are going to give you exactly what you hoped for.

00:27:16.060 Maybe they would.

00:27:17.100 I'd still like to see it.

00:27:18.880 If I could get that, I would very much like to see the two experts.

00:27:21.840 So, absolutely.

00:27:23.580 But if you give me one expert and one person who's really, really good

00:27:30.100 and has a track record of spotting bullshit, that's the one I want first.

00:27:37.380 First, give me the bullshit versus the scientist.

00:27:40.000 And if the bullshit guy wins, the scientist needs to go back and examine his life or her life, right?

00:27:49.560 Or their life.

00:27:52.100 Yeah.

00:27:53.040 And if the scientist is afraid of the bullshit spotter, which is what RFK Jr. is, he's a bullshit spotter,

00:28:00.680 doesn't mean he's right.

00:28:02.820 I'm not saying that he's always right.

00:28:04.860 But I don't even have a good opinion on all of his vaccination claims and whether he's mostly right or mostly not right.

00:28:13.240 I don't even know.

00:28:14.420 That's why I'd like to see him debate an actual expert, so that maybe I could learn for the first time,

00:28:20.140 is RFK Jr. full of shit, or is he the most valuable resource in the country right now?

00:28:27.160 I don't know.

00:28:28.520 I actually literally don't know.

00:28:30.120 I'm not even leaning in one direction at this point.

00:28:32.560 I'm so non-informed, even though I try to be.

00:28:37.100 Now, part of the pushback here is that scientists are not persuasive.

00:28:47.620 They don't learn to be persuasive necessarily.

00:28:50.480 Whereas you put them on next to some professional politician or a talking head pundit type,

00:28:57.460 and that's going to be a persuasive person who communicates really well.

00:29:01.340 So the scientists are like, oh, it'll only make things worse,

00:29:05.520 because the persuasive person will look like they won the argument even when they didn't,

00:29:10.900 because I had all the science, they had all the bullshit,

00:29:13.860 but their bullshit was so good, it looked better than my science. 0.59

00:29:17.740 So they're afraid to get in the ring with somebody who might be good at bullshit.

00:29:24.500 To which I say, science without persuasion is useless.

00:29:29.020 I don't care how much science you have in your head.

00:29:34.620 You've got to tell us.

00:29:36.700 You've got to share that stuff.

00:29:38.220 You've got to get other people involved, right, to build stuff.

00:29:41.460 It doesn't matter how much you know privately in your own little private head.

00:29:45.540 You've got to get that shit out of your head.

00:29:47.500 You've got to spread it out there.

00:29:49.900 Writing a paper, that helps.

00:29:52.300 But if writing a paper doesn't get it done, as in the public's opinion about vaccinations,

00:30:00.900 the scientific papers aren't going to convince the public,

00:30:04.100 and it's the public you need to act differently.

00:30:07.500 So if you don't learn persuasion,

00:30:09.840 and you don't get somebody who has the skills and the ability to communicate,

00:30:14.400 your science is wasted.

00:30:15.880 So I offered today to Dr. Hotez, just on a tweet,

00:30:21.480 who knows if he'll see it.

00:30:22.680 He's probably checking Twitter lately.

00:30:25.660 But I offered that I would help him persuade.

00:30:30.300 I'll give him a little persuasion lesson.

00:30:32.240 Because he needs to know how to handle the laundry list persuasion,

00:30:36.480 and also the potential that he's worried about.

00:30:39.540 The RFK will move the goalposts.

00:30:41.700 I can tell him how to solve both problems in advance.

00:30:46.180 And I've told you how to do it.

00:30:47.980 Here's how you do it.

00:30:49.400 RFK Jr. has lots of claims.

00:30:52.520 If you debunked one, the worry is he just moves to the next one.

00:30:57.900 And you're like, okay, all right, here's another half hour.

00:31:00.620 I debunked that one.

00:31:01.840 And then he'll just move to the next one.

00:31:03.900 And then you run out of time.

00:31:05.980 And the audience is going to say, well, he had a lot of claims,

00:31:08.460 and you only had to debunk for a few of them.

00:31:10.500 So I can see why he wouldn't want to walk into that trap.

00:31:15.680 So I've suggested on Twitter and elsewhere that he don't do the debate

00:31:22.500 unless RFK Jr. can reduce it to three claims.

00:31:27.820 Three just because it's more than one, but it's not too many.

00:31:32.300 Just three claims.

00:31:34.520 And I'll give you an example.

00:31:35.780 A claim might be this set of shots were not sufficiently tested.

00:31:43.160 We didn't do enough testing.

00:31:45.280 That would be a claim.

00:31:47.340 It's either true or false.

00:31:49.300 And that would be very useful for me to hear debated.

00:31:52.960 Because I think the expert would say something,

00:31:55.300 well, we didn't do the usual kind, but the kind we did is good enough.

00:31:59.720 Something like that.

00:32:00.440 That would be the argument.

00:32:02.760 Maybe another one would be that more people died from the vaccination than the COVID.

00:32:10.840 I don't know if RFK Jr. makes that claim.

00:32:14.160 I'm just making up claims.

00:32:16.040 But that's very specific, right?

00:32:18.560 I mean, you would look at the data, and they would probably have competing data.

00:32:22.320 I don't know if that's a claim.

00:32:23.380 I'm just making up claims now.

00:32:25.220 So don't assume that RFK Jr. believes any of this stuff.

00:32:29.960 I'm just making up stuff.

00:32:32.040 So if you take it down to three claims, and then you say to Joe Rogan,

00:32:37.900 Joe Rogan, it's your job to not let him move the goalpost.

00:32:42.380 He's made three claims.

00:32:43.920 The moment he starts to stray from those three claims,

00:32:47.660 I need you, Joe Rogan, to say stop, come back to the claim.

00:32:51.580 Under those conditions, I will debate.

00:32:56.040 That Joe Rogan guarantees and says it publicly,

00:32:59.400 I will keep you on topic, so no goalpost moving.

00:33:03.180 I'll keep you on these three things,

00:33:05.200 and you'll both get as much time as you want.

00:33:07.960 There won't be a time limit.

00:33:10.120 You give me those three things,

00:33:12.200 and maybe Dr. Hotez would want me to help him with persuasion,

00:33:16.420 or somebody else,

00:33:17.240 to just, you know, give some tips how to handle this scenario.

00:33:22.700 Because those few little rules in advance,

00:33:26.440 I think would go a long way to answering his concerns.

00:33:30.140 Because, by the way, his concerns are completely valid.

00:33:34.520 Can we say that?

00:33:36.040 Are you willing to agree with me that Dr. Hotez, 0.75

00:33:38.820 his objections, the ones he stated,

00:33:41.840 are completely valid?

00:33:42.960 That he could get into a situation

00:33:45.500 where the argument just churns and churns

00:33:48.240 and nothing happens,

00:33:49.100 and it looks like the other guy won.

00:33:51.060 I wouldn't go into that situation.

00:33:53.580 So I agree with him

00:33:54.800 that the situation as first described

00:33:58.140 would not be good.

00:34:00.620 But what I don't agree is how

00:34:02.180 it would be quite easy

00:34:03.960 to negotiate it into

00:34:06.060 something that works.

00:34:07.920 I would also insist on a follow-up.

00:34:11.200 So that once you both argue it out,

00:34:14.880 you both have some time to settle on,

00:34:17.340 you know, the other person's argument and stuff.

00:34:19.540 Maybe give it two weeks

00:34:20.760 and check your claim,

00:34:22.980 I agree with you or whatever.

00:34:24.480 Something like that.

00:34:27.880 All right.

00:34:30.660 But scientists need to learn to persuade.

00:34:36.320 Tate brothers have been charged.

00:34:38.480 Now, Andrew Tate and his brother

00:34:40.620 are charged with rape and human trafficking.

00:34:44.520 There are seven alleged victims

00:34:47.120 who say they were recruited

00:34:48.340 by the Tate brothers.

00:34:50.140 And there were false promises

00:34:51.460 of love and marriage,

00:34:52.800 but then allegedly they got turned

00:34:54.520 into sex workers or something.

00:34:58.980 So Andrew Tate

00:35:00.320 was charged with raping one of the victims.

00:35:02.940 And his brother is charged

00:35:05.180 with instigating others to violence.

00:35:09.220 Now, do you remember

00:35:09.940 what the original rumors were

00:35:12.720 about what they were going to be charged with?

00:35:15.120 Do you remember there's money laundering?

00:35:17.940 Right?

00:35:18.640 And money laundering kind of disappeared.

00:35:22.500 You know what's interesting

00:35:23.780 is that money laundering is,

00:35:25.660 I think,

00:35:26.920 usually a somewhat objective charge.

00:35:29.220 If you find the evidence,

00:35:32.720 there was money laundering.

00:35:34.860 But have you noticed

00:35:36.100 that the things

00:35:36.700 that are being charged with

00:35:37.740 are in those ambiguous categories?

00:35:41.440 Like, I'll bet you the question

00:35:42.800 of whether this alleged victim

00:35:45.600 was raped

00:35:46.480 or whether the alleged victim

00:35:48.940 just liked rough sex 0.96

00:35:50.500 and wasn't complaining enough

00:35:51.960 or maybe the communication

00:35:54.280 wasn't right or something.

00:35:56.080 And so one of them is

00:35:59.220 charged with rape

00:36:00.840 that probably is going to be

00:36:02.400 closer to,

00:36:04.580 what do you call it?

00:36:05.600 A date rape.

00:36:07.540 Now, date rape, still rape. 1.00

00:36:09.340 All right?

00:36:09.720 I'm not trying to soften the crime.

00:36:12.460 I'm just saying that

00:36:13.160 there are two categories.

00:36:14.880 Probably,

00:36:16.000 this is going to be closer to,

00:36:17.820 a little closer to a date rapey situation

00:36:20.420 than a held her down

00:36:22.740 at gunpoint and raped her.

00:36:25.080 Don't you assume?

00:36:26.680 Don't you assume

00:36:27.280 it's going to be

00:36:27.800 a little unclear

00:36:28.840 whether there was consent?

00:36:31.460 I'm sure.

00:36:32.600 I'm sure it'll be unclear.

00:36:34.060 Or at least there'll be a defense.

00:36:36.220 And then how about

00:36:37.040 this other charge for his brother?

00:36:38.720 Charged with instigating

00:36:40.040 others to violence.

00:36:42.040 Do you think

00:36:42.520 instigating others to violence

00:36:44.240 is an objective thing

00:36:45.620 where you just look at the facts,

00:36:47.200 well, there it is?

00:36:48.300 Or is it subjective?

00:36:49.280 Do you think

00:36:51.060 knowing whether somebody

00:36:52.540 was instigated to violence,

00:36:54.120 I mean,

00:36:56.220 was he like a crime boss?

00:36:57.900 Did he say,

00:36:58.920 your assignment is

00:36:59.740 to go do some violence?

00:37:01.620 What does it mean

00:37:02.260 to instigate it?

00:37:03.840 Is it like,

00:37:04.440 is it like Trump

00:37:05.500 instigated an insurrection

00:37:07.140 on January 6th?

00:37:08.880 As in the thing

00:37:09.840 that really never happened?

00:37:12.120 Is it that kind of instigating?

00:37:13.700 So I'm going to double down

00:37:18.200 on my original opinion.

00:37:20.180 There's something about this

00:37:21.480 that stinks.

00:37:23.820 I don't know what it is.

00:37:25.780 And I absolutely am not

00:37:27.460 defending the Tate brothers

00:37:28.780 from anything they've done.

00:37:31.720 I don't know what they have done.

00:37:33.320 I don't know what they haven't done.

00:37:34.700 I just know that from,

00:37:35.900 you know,

00:37:36.180 30,000 feet looking at this,

00:37:38.000 it looks sketchy as hell.

00:37:43.480 It looks like

00:37:44.200 somebody is trying

00:37:45.460 to bring them down

00:37:46.280 and look for whatever

00:37:47.220 they could do,

00:37:48.520 you know,

00:37:48.860 however they could do it.

00:37:50.220 It looks like it started

00:37:51.380 either personal

00:37:53.180 or political,

00:37:54.840 and then they're just

00:37:56.240 looking for the reasons.

00:37:58.740 That's what it feels like.

00:38:01.540 So,

00:38:02.320 just to be super clear again,

00:38:04.860 I do not support the Tates

00:38:06.780 or anything they've done.

00:38:08.300 I dislike Andrew Tate specifically.

00:38:13.040 But this doesn't look

00:38:14.620 like an actual legal process.

00:38:17.860 There's something wrong with it.

00:38:18.940 I just don't know what.

00:38:20.540 And I think we should care about that.

00:38:23.200 Even if you don't like

00:38:25.100 those two individuals,

00:38:26.660 you should care about

00:38:27.880 something like this

00:38:28.860 because it doesn't look right to me.

00:38:32.580 All right.

00:38:33.220 Rasmussen did a little polling

00:38:36.120 about how people feel

00:38:37.360 about the Wuhan leak.

00:38:39.220 And here's one of the questions.

00:38:42.140 Do you agree with the statement

00:38:44.000 that China lied,

00:38:46.920 Fauci lied,

00:38:47.860 and people died?

00:38:50.180 60% agreed with that.

00:38:52.860 60% of the country

00:38:54.320 thinks China lied,

00:38:56.040 Fauci lied,

00:38:56.740 and people died

00:38:57.560 because of the virus

00:38:59.060 and the Wuhan connection.

00:39:00.820 32% disagreed,

00:39:03.580 so it wasn't even 25%.

00:39:05.500 All right.

00:39:08.160 Now,

00:39:09.440 given that Dr. Hotez

00:39:12.000 is in the news

00:39:13.140 and vaccinations

00:39:15.240 and stuff are in the news,

00:39:17.100 and it probably is important

00:39:18.160 to figure out

00:39:18.780 who are the bad guys

00:39:20.680 and who got things right

00:39:21.740 and who got things wrong,

00:39:22.680 I decided to do a,

00:39:26.640 not a deep dive,

00:39:28.080 but just a little searching

00:39:29.180 to find out what the,

00:39:31.740 let's say,

00:39:32.260 the mainstream media opinion is

00:39:34.660 about vaccinations

00:39:35.800 as of today

00:39:36.860 because I wasn't really sure.

00:39:39.360 You know,

00:39:39.820 if you watch the

00:39:41.160 right-leaning,

00:39:43.020 you know,

00:39:43.900 Twittersphere,

00:39:45.460 you would think that

00:39:46.520 every piece of new information

00:39:48.040 that's come out

00:39:48.680 in the last year

00:39:49.440 shows that the vaccinations

00:39:51.340 totally didn't work

00:39:52.380 and they just hurt people.

00:39:54.880 How many of you

00:39:55.760 would say

00:39:56.160 that's your experience?

00:39:57.760 In the past year,

00:39:59.340 100% of any news

00:40:01.420 you saw

00:40:01.960 about the vaccinations

00:40:03.440 suggested that

00:40:04.880 they were bad

00:40:05.560 and ineffective,

00:40:06.860 everybody knew it,

00:40:08.260 and it killed more people

00:40:09.300 than it saved.

00:40:10.840 How many of you

00:40:11.760 believe you saw that

00:40:12.960 and it looked credible to you?

00:40:15.500 Because I've seen

00:40:16.420 a bunch of them.

00:40:17.580 I'm not saying

00:40:18.200 they're true,

00:40:19.140 I'm saying I've seen it.

00:40:20.120 Now the problem

00:40:22.360 with science is

00:40:23.080 I don't believe

00:40:23.640 any of it.

00:40:26.060 Science is just

00:40:26.900 not a credible field

00:40:28.020 anymore.

00:40:28.540 I hate to say it.

00:40:29.620 It's just not

00:40:30.160 a credible field.

00:40:31.700 Now it can find

00:40:32.640 credibility over time

00:40:34.200 with things

00:40:34.720 that people don't care about.

00:40:37.000 If science finds

00:40:38.420 a new battery

00:40:39.080 that works better,

00:40:39.960 that probably

00:40:40.400 is a good thing

00:40:41.100 because nobody

00:40:42.660 had an opinion

00:40:43.260 about the battery.

00:40:45.300 As long as

00:40:46.080 there's no human opinions

00:40:47.160 or politics involved,

00:40:48.240 it probably works fine.

00:40:49.040 You know,

00:40:49.800 eventually,

00:40:50.960 even though half

00:40:51.660 of all the studies

00:40:52.740 that are peer-reviewed

00:40:53.780 are bullshit.

00:40:55.180 That's the actual number,

00:40:56.440 half.

00:40:57.220 Half of all the peer-reviewed

00:40:58.920 studies are bullshit.

00:41:00.660 That's known

00:41:01.400 from another study

00:41:02.320 that may itself

00:41:03.240 have been bullshit. 0.89

00:41:07.100 Anyway,

00:41:07.900 so I wanted to

00:41:09.020 take a look

00:41:10.120 to see what is

00:41:10.980 the most current news.

00:41:12.600 Now,

00:41:13.280 I need to ask you

00:41:15.220 a favor here

00:41:15.880 so it doesn't

00:41:16.480 drive me crazy.

00:41:17.240 Would it be possible

00:41:19.800 for me to simply

00:41:20.800 describe what

00:41:22.020 other people

00:41:22.720 think is true

00:41:23.640 without you

00:41:24.880 attacking me?

00:41:26.380 Could you do that?

00:41:27.900 Just for today?

00:41:29.460 Just don't attack me

00:41:30.600 because I'm not

00:41:31.880 going to give you

00:41:32.360 my opinion on anything.

00:41:34.780 I'm just telling you

00:41:35.440 what other people

00:41:35.980 are saying.

00:41:36.920 All right?

00:41:37.440 I just need that agreement.

00:41:38.680 I'm looking at you,

00:41:39.980 YouTube.

00:41:41.320 All right.

00:41:41.640 So there's a study

00:41:46.020 that says that

00:41:47.040 there's no increase

00:41:48.980 in strokes

00:41:49.940 after your vaccination.

00:41:55.400 Stay away.

00:41:57.100 Do not go after me.

00:41:59.920 I'm just reading it.

00:42:01.100 I'm just the messenger.

00:42:02.680 Just the messenger.

00:42:04.520 So it's a newish study

00:42:05.940 from March of this year

00:42:07.260 and showed that

00:42:10.100 within I think

00:42:10.760 28 days

00:42:11.640 of the shot

00:42:13.120 no increase

00:42:14.200 in stroke.

00:42:17.820 How about clots?

00:42:19.660 How about clots?

00:42:23.000 Again,

00:42:23.820 this is not my opinion

00:42:25.140 because I don't

00:42:26.720 believe science.

00:42:27.540 I'm telling you

00:42:28.960 that if you Google it,

00:42:30.520 the first things

00:42:31.160 that will come up

00:42:31.840 would be that

00:42:33.120 there's no increase

00:42:34.040 in clots,

00:42:34.880 blood clots

00:42:35.440 from the vaccinations.

00:42:39.840 Don't,

00:42:40.940 I'm not saying

00:42:41.840 I believe it.

00:42:43.820 I'm not,

00:42:44.560 there you go.

00:42:45.400 Goodbye, Angela.

00:42:48.460 I knew you couldn't do it.

00:42:57.540 So that's what

00:42:58.140 the mainstream media

00:42:58.980 is telling you.

00:42:59.940 So if you didn't

00:43:00.540 know anything

00:43:01.040 and you went

00:43:01.500 and Googled it

00:43:02.140 and you asked yourself,

00:43:03.720 hey,

00:43:04.180 did those vaccinations

00:43:05.140 cause clots,

00:43:08.660 the Google

00:43:09.500 would give you

00:43:10.140 an answer that says no,

00:43:11.580 the science says no.

00:43:13.040 And if you asked it

00:43:13.820 if it's causing people

00:43:14.700 to have strokes

00:43:15.340 and you Google it,

00:43:18.460 the answer will be no.

00:43:22.160 Now,

00:43:22.820 again,

00:43:23.560 I don't believe

00:43:24.680 any studies about COVID.

00:43:26.420 None of them.

00:43:27.120 Cause they're all motivated.

00:43:28.920 But that's what

00:43:29.820 the studies say.

00:43:34.340 Now,

00:43:34.880 what about

00:43:35.340 long COVID?

00:43:39.640 So-called long COVID,

00:43:41.080 which,

00:43:41.520 which I know

00:43:42.640 you don't have to tell me.

00:43:44.480 I know many of you

00:43:45.440 believe does not exist

00:43:46.720 or it's actually

00:43:48.280 just vaccination injury

00:43:49.560 in disguise.

00:43:52.180 All right.

00:43:52.860 Crew goes away.

00:43:55.440 I knew you couldn't

00:43:56.440 handle it.

00:43:57.120 I knew you couldn't

00:44:00.480 do it.

00:44:03.640 All right.

00:44:04.180 Let me just get rid

00:44:04.900 of the other people

00:44:05.560 who just can't

00:44:06.680 handle this discussion.

00:44:10.920 Anybody else

00:44:11.820 want to be deleted?

00:44:15.080 All right.

00:44:15.440 if you Google it,

00:44:20.120 this is not

00:44:20.860 Scott saying

00:44:21.600 it's true.

00:44:22.040 I'm just saying

00:44:22.880 this is Google

00:44:23.780 giving you a result.

00:44:25.500 It would tell you

00:44:26.420 that

00:44:26.760 the people

00:44:28.420 my age,

00:44:29.460 let's say

00:44:29.840 over 60,

00:44:31.720 who

00:44:32.160 got vaccinated

00:44:33.520 had about

00:44:34.660 a

00:44:35.000 one-tenth

00:44:36.060 of the odds

00:44:36.640 of going in the hospital.

00:44:38.680 One-tenth.

00:44:40.860 I'm not saying

00:44:41.640 it's true.

00:44:42.080 I'm saying

00:44:43.560 that's what

00:44:44.060 result you'll get

00:44:44.940 if you Google it,

00:44:46.680 that you had

00:44:48.560 a ten times

00:44:49.220 greater chance

00:44:49.860 of being hospitalized

00:44:50.520 if you were

00:44:51.100 unvaccinated.

00:44:52.560 Do you believe it?

00:44:55.220 I don't believe it

00:44:56.280 because it's

00:44:56.860 COVID information

00:44:57.720 and I don't believe

00:44:58.580 any COVID data.

00:45:00.600 It doesn't matter

00:45:01.140 if it agrees with me

00:45:02.000 or doesn't.

00:45:03.220 None of it's

00:45:03.960 credible,

00:45:04.780 unfortunately.

00:45:05.920 It might be right.

00:45:07.440 I'm not saying

00:45:07.940 it's wrong.

00:45:09.080 I'm saying

00:45:09.540 that if you

00:45:10.340 just believe it

00:45:11.020 because science

00:45:11.680 said so,

00:45:12.300 that doesn't

00:45:12.940 make sense

00:45:13.440 in 2023.

00:45:15.060 Not about

00:45:15.480 the pandemic.

00:45:17.720 So,

00:45:18.420 then I also

00:45:20.040 asked if the

00:45:20.800 vaccination

00:45:21.320 would,

00:45:22.840 based on our

00:45:23.300 best current

00:45:24.240 knowledge,

00:45:25.400 would protect

00:45:26.100 against long

00:45:27.080 COVID symptoms.

00:45:29.360 Now,

00:45:29.860 those of you

00:45:30.380 who believe

00:45:30.880 that the

00:45:31.500 vaccination

00:45:31.900 itself

00:45:32.620 is causing

00:45:33.420 the long

00:45:33.900 COVID symptoms,

00:45:35.700 would,

00:45:36.100 then you'd

00:45:36.820 have to

00:45:37.100 explain

00:45:37.580 why the

00:45:38.520 studies

00:45:39.040 show that

00:45:40.480 the

00:45:40.800 unvaccinated

00:45:41.780 people had

00:45:42.380 worse long

00:45:43.180 COVID.

00:45:44.920 So,

00:45:45.500 if you're

00:45:45.800 unvaccinated

00:45:46.660 totally,

00:45:47.660 according to

00:45:48.160 the studies,

00:45:48.820 which I don't

00:45:49.260 believe because

00:45:49.880 I don't believe

00:45:50.400 any COVID

00:45:50.900 studies,

00:45:52.140 there's a

00:45:53.920 big difference.

00:45:55.320 So,

00:45:55.660 the unvaccinated

00:45:56.500 had way worse

00:45:57.500 long COVID.

00:45:59.060 If long COVID

00:46:00.000 is real,

00:46:00.860 and if the

00:46:01.520 study is real,

00:46:02.220 and I don't

00:46:02.580 believe either

00:46:03.000 one of them,

00:46:03.480 all right,

00:46:06.960 so,

00:46:08.040 here's the

00:46:08.720 bottom line.

00:46:10.620 If the

00:46:11.320 mainstream media,

00:46:12.980 you know,

00:46:13.240 let's say the

00:46:14.000 consensus that

00:46:15.300 still exists

00:46:15.900 out there,

00:46:16.460 is correct,

00:46:18.200 then every

00:46:19.120 decision I

00:46:19.780 made during

00:46:20.160 the pandemic

00:46:20.700 is also

00:46:21.260 correct.

00:46:24.580 But am I

00:46:25.340 telling you I

00:46:25.780 made the

00:46:26.100 right decisions?

00:46:27.720 Is that what

00:46:28.180 you just

00:46:28.420 heard?

00:46:29.620 I hope

00:46:30.300 not.

00:46:31.280 I hope

00:46:31.960 not.

00:46:32.300 it's just

00:46:33.680 that my

00:46:34.080 decisions were

00:46:34.960 exactly

00:46:35.500 compatible with

00:46:36.340 the current

00:46:37.020 consensus of

00:46:37.920 science.

00:46:38.920 Doesn't mean

00:46:39.580 they're right.

00:46:40.980 Can we agree

00:46:41.880 on one thing?

00:46:43.500 That agreeing

00:46:44.180 with the

00:46:44.640 scientists on

00:46:46.340 COVID does

00:46:47.340 not make you

00:46:47.980 the right

00:46:48.400 one.

00:46:49.540 Can we

00:46:49.860 agree on

00:46:50.220 that?

00:46:50.900 You're not

00:46:51.580 correct just

00:46:52.500 because the

00:46:52.860 science is on

00:46:53.440 your side.

00:46:55.360 On COVID.

00:46:57.460 All right?

00:46:59.500 We did

00:47:00.140 pretty good.

00:47:01.180 You did

00:47:01.520 pretty good

00:47:02.020 actually.

00:47:03.160 I thought

00:47:03.520 this was

00:47:03.880 going to

00:47:03.980 be a

00:47:04.180 little bit

00:47:04.560 rougher.

00:47:05.600 But as

00:47:06.020 long as

00:47:06.320 you know

00:47:06.540 I don't

00:47:06.820 believe the

00:47:07.280 science,

00:47:08.280 you're okay

00:47:08.800 with me

00:47:09.220 being on

00:47:09.540 the same

00:47:09.860 side of

00:47:10.380 it,

00:47:10.560 right?

00:47:13.180 You're okay

00:47:13.760 with that

00:47:14.040 nuance?

00:47:15.080 I think so.

00:47:17.200 All right.

00:47:18.020 And I always

00:47:18.880 said from the

00:47:19.340 start I was

00:47:19.880 largely guessing.

00:47:21.160 It wasn't

00:47:21.560 like I had

00:47:22.000 some insight

00:47:23.220 about the

00:47:23.760 science.

00:47:24.200 I was just

00:47:24.500 sort of

00:47:24.780 guessing and

00:47:25.420 doing what I

00:47:26.240 needed for

00:47:26.580 myself.

00:47:26.940 now a

00:47:28.820 number of

00:47:29.200 people in

00:47:29.620 the last

00:47:29.900 two days

00:47:30.580 have been

00:47:32.700 brutal in

00:47:33.680 their criticism

00:47:34.400 of me because

00:47:35.380 I got

00:47:36.060 vaccinated.

00:47:37.940 Is there

00:47:38.640 anybody here

00:47:39.260 who thinks

00:47:39.800 that my

00:47:40.740 personal medical

00:47:41.520 decisions are

00:47:42.840 any of your

00:47:43.500 fucking business?

00:47:45.880 Anybody?

00:47:47.280 Does anybody

00:47:48.100 think my

00:47:48.540 personal medical

00:47:49.660 decisions are

00:47:50.920 any of your

00:47:51.680 fucking business?

00:47:53.440 That you need

00:47:54.380 to comment about

00:47:55.160 it on social

00:47:55.700 media?

00:47:56.460 Let me be

00:47:56.980 clear.

00:47:58.040 Anything I

00:47:58.720 suggested for

00:47:59.640 other people

00:48:00.400 is fair game.

00:48:02.440 If I told you

00:48:03.380 to take vitamin

00:48:04.080 D, which I

00:48:05.300 did, and it

00:48:06.540 turns out it

00:48:07.020 kills you, 0.94

00:48:07.900 well, that's

00:48:08.440 on me.

00:48:09.060 You should

00:48:09.400 definitely

00:48:09.760 criticize that.

00:48:11.280 If I gave

00:48:12.100 you any bad

00:48:13.040 recommendations

00:48:13.680 about vaccinations

00:48:14.720 or masks,

00:48:16.160 and it was

00:48:16.940 wrong, and I

00:48:18.000 said you should

00:48:18.720 do this, you

00:48:19.620 should totally

00:48:20.440 criticize me.

00:48:21.920 But I didn't

00:48:22.520 do any of

00:48:22.920 that.

00:48:24.100 I didn't tell

00:48:24.880 you to get a

00:48:25.260 vaccination.

00:48:26.520 I didn't

00:48:27.120 tell you

00:48:27.420 to be safe.

00:48:28.160 I didn't

00:48:28.500 tell you

00:48:28.780 to work.

00:48:29.640 I never

00:48:30.000 told you

00:48:30.320 that.

00:48:33.500 But I

00:48:34.940 don't want

00:48:35.220 to hear from

00:48:35.600 anybody about

00:48:36.240 my personal

00:48:36.820 decisions,

00:48:38.000 because do

00:48:38.380 you think you

00:48:38.860 know all my

00:48:39.320 variables?

00:48:40.840 How would

00:48:41.260 you?

00:48:41.880 I'm not

00:48:42.300 going to

00:48:42.520 criticize your

00:48:43.120 personal

00:48:43.480 decisions,

00:48:44.360 not your

00:48:44.760 personal health

00:48:45.340 decisions.

00:48:47.040 This guy

00:48:47.500 said to drink

00:48:48.100 bleach.

00:48:48.440 All right.

00:48:53.820 Jordan

00:48:54.380 Peterson's

00:48:54.960 video in

00:48:55.480 which he

00:48:55.900 interviewed

00:48:56.400 RFK Jr.

00:48:57.960 has been

00:48:58.460 banned on

00:48:59.260 YouTube.

00:49:01.960 I have a

00:49:02.800 mixed feeling

00:49:03.480 about that.

00:49:05.380 A mixed 1.00

00:49:06.160 feeling.

00:49:09.860 I'm almost

00:49:10.860 on the, I'm

00:49:11.880 very close to

00:49:13.020 agreeing that it

00:49:13.760 should be

00:49:14.060 banned.

00:49:14.440 Like, the

00:49:16.100 free speech is

00:49:16.800 still the

00:49:17.100 better argument,

00:49:18.200 but I'm so

00:49:19.400 close to

00:49:19.940 agreeing with

00:49:20.440 YouTube on

00:49:20.980 this.

00:49:21.440 Do you know

00:49:21.740 why?

00:49:23.080 Because every

00:49:24.020 time you show

00:49:24.740 one side of

00:49:25.380 an argument,

00:49:25.940 you make

00:49:26.220 things worse.

00:49:27.700 And that's

00:49:28.080 what that

00:49:28.460 was.

00:49:29.340 Jordan

00:49:29.620 Peterson

00:49:30.000 talking to

00:49:30.600 RFK Jr.

00:49:31.880 about his

00:49:32.480 vaccination

00:49:32.940 opinions,

00:49:34.040 without the

00:49:35.220 benefit of the

00:49:35.900 counterpoint,

00:49:37.160 makes the

00:49:37.660 world a worse

00:49:38.260 place.

00:49:39.520 In a way

00:49:40.240 that's dangerous,

00:49:41.420 in my opinion.

00:49:42.480 In a way

00:49:42.860 that's very

00:49:43.220 dangerous.

00:49:44.440 Now, if

00:49:45.160 he'd had, so

00:49:46.640 here's my

00:49:47.120 open question.

00:49:48.560 If Jordan 0.97

00:49:49.020 Peterson had

00:49:49.860 RFK Jr.

00:49:51.040 on, but

00:49:52.220 also somebody

00:49:53.480 who had a

00:49:53.900 different opinion,

00:49:55.260 showed both

00:49:55.920 opinions, do

00:49:57.540 you think he'd

00:49:57.980 be banned by

00:49:58.560 YouTube?

00:49:59.740 If both

00:50:00.300 opinions had

00:50:00.880 been there?

00:50:02.560 I don't

00:50:03.220 think so.

00:50:04.660 I think

00:50:05.220 YouTube would

00:50:06.600 allow a

00:50:07.160 discussion of

00:50:08.460 both sides.

00:50:09.820 I think they

00:50:10.540 would not

00:50:10.980 allow, which

00:50:11.980 is obviously

00:50:12.560 what happened,

00:50:13.100 a discussion

00:50:14.340 of confidence

00:50:15.620 in something

00:50:16.640 that's not,

00:50:19.420 let's say,

00:50:20.020 the mainstream

00:50:20.460 media doesn't

00:50:21.440 agree with.

00:50:23.080 Now, that's

00:50:23.660 not to say

00:50:24.100 RFK Jr.

00:50:24.700 is wrong.

00:50:28.620 This is

00:50:29.400 Peter.

00:50:29.900 You fucking

00:50:30.860 piece of

00:50:31.400 shit.

00:50:32.260 Peter.

00:50:33.440 Adams has

00:50:34.040 fallen even

00:50:34.580 further.

00:50:35.460 No respect.

00:50:36.920 Really?

00:50:37.540 What the

00:50:38.000 fuck did I

00:50:38.720 just say

00:50:39.140 that you

00:50:39.380 don't agree

00:50:39.820 with,

00:50:40.460 shithead?

00:50:42.560 One thing.

00:50:43.780 Just one

00:50:44.240 thing.

00:50:44.600 Just state it.

00:50:45.760 Just one

00:50:46.200 fucking thing

00:50:46.880 that I said

00:50:47.360 that you

00:50:47.560 don't agree

00:50:48.000 with.

00:50:48.280 Go ahead.

00:50:49.680 Let's see it.

00:50:52.040 You've got a

00:50:52.740 comment?

00:50:53.440 Go ahead.

00:50:54.280 Just tell me

00:50:54.780 one thing I

00:50:55.380 said that you

00:50:55.960 don't agree

00:50:56.580 with.

00:50:59.460 Yeah.

00:51:00.120 You silent

00:51:00.680 fucking

00:51:01.120 asshole.

00:51:03.200 You know,

00:51:03.800 I have a

00:51:04.200 real,

00:51:04.540 a genuine

00:51:04.980 curiosity about

00:51:06.020 trolls.

00:51:08.140 Have you

00:51:08.460 ever met

00:51:08.840 a troll?

00:51:09.920 Or have

00:51:10.420 you ever

00:51:10.640 been one?

00:51:11.840 Like this

00:51:12.520 kind of

00:51:12.860 troll who

00:51:13.380 just comes

00:51:13.780 in and

00:51:14.160 insults

00:51:14.620 people?

00:51:16.800 Have you

00:51:17.320 ever been

00:51:17.620 that kind

00:51:18.100 of troll?

00:51:19.940 Because I

00:51:20.560 don't know,

00:51:21.340 I don't

00:51:21.860 understand the

00:51:22.800 mental part

00:51:24.420 of it.

00:51:25.380 Like is

00:51:25.700 there a

00:51:26.020 dopamine hit

00:51:26.760 that you

00:51:27.400 get just

00:51:28.860 from being

00:51:29.320 evil?

00:51:30.140 I guess.

00:51:31.020 Must be a

00:51:31.500 dopamine hit,

00:51:32.100 right?

00:51:32.940 So are

00:51:33.400 these people

00:51:34.060 who are

00:51:34.360 literally

00:51:34.780 masochists?

00:51:35.600 Not

00:51:35.780 masochists.

00:51:36.240 Sadists?

00:51:37.140 Are they

00:51:37.500 literally

00:51:37.840 sadists?

00:51:39.740 And

00:51:40.180 narcissists?

00:51:41.960 Is that

00:51:42.540 what's going

00:51:43.460 on with

00:51:43.840 the trolls?

00:51:45.360 I mean,

00:51:45.880 I've never

00:51:46.780 even seen

00:51:47.180 a theory

00:51:47.840 except that

00:51:48.400 they're

00:51:48.560 narcissists.

00:51:49.900 But I

00:51:50.440 feel like

00:51:50.760 it's

00:51:51.300 worse than

00:51:52.020 that.

00:51:53.740 Yeah.

00:51:54.460 The trolls

00:51:55.220 are sociopaths?

00:51:57.420 That's

00:51:57.860 probably the

00:51:58.240 whole thing,

00:51:58.740 isn't it?

00:51:59.320 But even

00:51:59.740 the sociopaths,

00:52:02.020 do they

00:52:02.420 do that

00:52:02.740 stuff for

00:52:03.100 entertainment?

00:52:04.240 They must

00:52:04.520 get a

00:52:05.900 hit

00:52:06.060 or

00:52:06.180 something.

00:52:07.380 I don't

00:52:07.560 know.

00:52:08.300 Well,

00:52:08.620 you're

00:52:08.760 all

00:52:08.960 worthless

00:52:09.320 and you

00:52:12.560 add nothing

00:52:13.040 to the

00:52:13.320 world.

00:52:17.820 So Andres

00:52:19.040 Beckhaus,

00:52:19.800 one of my

00:52:20.340 favorite

00:52:20.860 skeptics,

00:52:23.020 got a

00:52:23.340 PhD in

00:52:23.920 economics,

00:52:24.540 so I

00:52:24.760 often go

00:52:25.260 to him

00:52:25.600 to debunk

00:52:26.460 studies that

00:52:27.380 look like

00:52:28.100 they need

00:52:28.400 to get

00:52:28.660 debunked.

00:52:29.380 and he

00:52:29.920 does an

00:52:30.280 amazing job

00:52:31.020 of quickly

00:52:32.240 picking out

00:52:33.160 what's wrong

00:52:33.740 with studies.

00:52:35.400 But he

00:52:36.080 was mocking

00:52:36.920 me a little

00:52:37.440 bit on

00:52:37.940 Twitter by

00:52:39.560 noting that

00:52:40.260 the vaccination

00:52:42.780 status is

00:52:43.980 correlated with

00:52:44.780 higher education.

00:52:47.000 So the more

00:52:47.480 education you

00:52:48.220 have, the

00:52:48.560 more likely

00:52:49.080 you got

00:52:49.600 vaccinated.

00:52:51.000 Now, he

00:52:51.680 was just

00:52:52.060 joking around,

00:52:54.040 but the

00:52:55.240 implication is

00:52:56.540 that smart

00:52:57.840 people know

00:52:58.420 to get

00:52:58.680 vaccinated.

00:53:02.120 So I

00:53:02.880 responded to

00:53:04.160 his claim

00:53:04.700 that the

00:53:05.060 more education

00:53:05.700 you have,

00:53:06.300 the more

00:53:06.560 likely you

00:53:07.140 are to

00:53:07.600 get vaccinated,

00:53:09.180 that that's

00:53:10.480 because I

00:53:14.620 said higher

00:53:15.120 education used

00:53:15.900 to be correlated

00:53:16.460 with better

00:53:17.120 opinions about

00:53:17.820 the world.

00:53:19.140 Right?

00:53:20.620 Like when I

00:53:21.240 was a kid,

00:53:23.040 a person with

00:53:24.040 a higher

00:53:24.360 education probably

00:53:25.400 had a more

00:53:26.000 sophisticated and

00:53:27.140 nuanced,

00:53:27.640 complete

00:53:28.960 understanding of

00:53:29.860 topics.

00:53:30.920 So you

00:53:31.560 would want to

00:53:32.000 pay attention

00:53:32.440 to educated

00:53:33.000 people.

00:53:34.000 But you

00:53:34.520 know what

00:53:34.740 changed?

00:53:37.540 It turns out

00:53:38.460 that the

00:53:38.800 news turned

00:53:39.420 into pure

00:53:40.680 propaganda,

00:53:42.020 and the

00:53:43.180 educated people

00:53:43.940 kept watching

00:53:44.520 it.

00:53:45.760 And they

00:53:46.300 didn't know.

00:53:46.960 They didn't

00:53:47.440 know what

00:53:47.700 they were

00:53:47.880 watching.

00:53:49.800 So the

00:53:50.740 so-called

00:53:51.420 dumb people

00:53:52.100 said, hey,

00:53:52.800 that looks like

00:53:53.320 propaganda to

00:53:54.080 me.

00:53:54.380 I think I'll

00:53:54.800 go do

00:53:55.120 something else.

00:53:55.640 And all

00:53:56.740 the smart

00:53:57.160 people are

00:53:57.580 like, what?

00:53:59.860 I've got to

00:54:00.540 wear a mask

00:54:01.160 or else I'm

00:54:01.600 going to die

00:54:01.980 tomorrow?

00:54:03.040 Sounds good.

00:54:05.680 So all

00:54:06.540 the most

00:54:07.940 educated people

00:54:09.020 are the ones

00:54:10.080 who watch

00:54:10.460 the news.

00:54:11.560 Who's reading

00:54:12.100 the New York

00:54:12.580 Times?

00:54:13.420 The uneducated?

00:54:14.940 I mean, some,

00:54:15.720 I suppose.

00:54:16.780 Right?

00:54:17.280 So we have

00:54:18.140 this situation

00:54:18.760 where the

00:54:19.380 smarter you

00:54:19.980 are, well,

00:54:20.940 let's say the

00:54:21.320 more educated

00:54:21.780 you are.

00:54:22.380 The more educated

00:54:23.120 you are, the

00:54:24.260 more likely

00:54:24.860 you're drinking

00:54:25.460 from the

00:54:25.920 fire hose

00:54:26.540 of propaganda.

00:54:29.900 So you

00:54:30.580 should expect

00:54:31.200 that the

00:54:31.640 more educated

00:54:32.300 you are, the

00:54:33.080 more hypnotized

00:54:34.080 you will be

00:54:34.740 by the

00:54:36.060 brainwashing.

00:54:37.600 So the

00:54:37.940 more educated

00:54:38.920 you are,

00:54:39.700 ironically, the

00:54:41.360 less you

00:54:42.040 should trust

00:54:42.560 their opinions.

00:54:44.720 Because it's

00:54:45.480 not their

00:54:45.820 opinions.

00:54:46.440 They're

00:54:46.600 assigned

00:54:46.980 opinions.

00:54:47.500 And the

00:54:49.120 people who

00:54:49.500 didn't watch

00:54:49.960 the news

00:54:50.440 and said

00:54:51.240 basically,

00:54:53.020 didn't watch

00:54:53.620 any news

00:54:54.140 and were

00:54:54.380 like,

00:54:55.300 are you

00:54:56.060 telling me

00:54:56.400 you created

00:54:57.000 a vaccination

00:54:57.560 in six

00:54:58.300 months?

00:54:59.840 What's it

00:55:00.460 usually take?

00:55:02.800 Five years.

00:55:04.140 Five years.

00:55:05.120 Five to ten

00:55:05.640 years.

00:55:06.760 Wait, what?

00:55:08.060 Usually takes

00:55:08.720 five to ten

00:55:09.300 years, but

00:55:09.860 this time they

00:55:11.400 mysteriously got

00:55:12.400 it done in

00:55:12.760 six months?

00:55:14.020 Yeah, it's

00:55:14.480 totally legit.

00:55:15.460 And then all

00:55:16.560 the uneducated

00:55:17.340 people said,

00:55:18.160 no thanks.

00:55:21.740 And all the

00:55:22.660 educated people

00:55:23.360 listened to the

00:55:23.940 scientists.

00:55:25.040 They go,

00:55:25.200 science must

00:55:26.800 be true.

00:55:28.940 That's the

00:55:29.700 science.

00:55:31.760 So we have

00:55:32.660 this weird

00:55:33.160 situation where

00:55:34.080 the more educated

00:55:34.940 you are, the

00:55:36.280 more likely

00:55:36.920 you've just

00:55:37.760 been brainwashed

00:55:39.100 into something

00:55:39.760 ridiculous that

00:55:40.760 some political

00:55:41.360 person wants.

00:55:42.400 Or somebody's

00:55:43.020 trying to make

00:55:43.420 money.

00:55:44.100 And you don't

00:55:44.540 know the

00:55:44.820 difference.

00:55:45.460 Because you're

00:55:46.640 educated.

00:55:47.480 And then it's

00:55:48.000 worse because

00:55:48.780 you say, oh,

00:55:50.100 they're stupid

00:55:50.620 people, why

00:55:51.320 can't they know

00:55:52.000 as much as

00:55:52.520 I do?

00:55:54.880 Now, again, I'm

00:55:56.200 not making an

00:55:56.860 opinion of

00:55:57.480 whether vaccinations

00:55:58.760 helped or

00:55:59.700 hurt.

00:56:00.280 I honestly can't

00:56:01.340 tell.

00:56:02.880 My current

00:56:03.860 best opinion

00:56:05.460 about vaccinations,

00:56:07.060 whether they

00:56:07.600 helped or

00:56:08.100 hurt, even

00:56:09.140 me, like even

00:56:10.560 in my specific

00:56:11.700 situation, don't

00:56:12.940 know.

00:56:13.580 I really don't

00:56:14.400 know.

00:56:14.580 And I also

00:56:15.860 don't know how

00:56:16.320 to find out.

00:56:17.680 Because I

00:56:18.260 wouldn't trust

00:56:18.800 any study.

00:56:20.420 And what else

00:56:21.180 am I going to

00:56:21.600 rely on?

00:56:23.020 Right?

00:56:23.900 I feel fine.

00:56:25.540 If I feel

00:56:26.380 healthy, then

00:56:28.420 can I conclude

00:56:29.620 that the

00:56:30.260 vaccination didn't 0.99

00:56:31.580 hurt me?

00:56:32.420 Not really.

00:56:33.960 Because you

00:56:34.360 never feel

00:56:34.860 perfect.

00:56:35.980 And you

00:56:36.540 never know if

00:56:37.100 your organs are

00:56:38.560 slowly rotting from

00:56:39.900 the inside.

00:56:41.300 How would I

00:56:41.760 know?

00:56:41.980 Until it

00:56:43.020 reaches some

00:56:43.500 level, I

00:56:44.220 wouldn't know.

00:56:46.300 Yeah, maybe I

00:56:47.080 dodged a

00:56:47.580 bullet.

00:56:49.300 So at the

00:56:49.880 moment, if I

00:56:51.100 were to go by

00:56:51.640 mainstream media,

00:56:53.040 if you believed

00:56:53.840 it, which I

00:56:54.460 don't, it

00:56:56.240 would say that

00:56:56.920 every decision I

00:56:57.880 made about when

00:56:58.640 to get vaccinated

00:56:59.400 and how was

00:57:00.840 exactly right.

00:57:03.820 And even I

00:57:04.600 don't think that's

00:57:05.180 true.

00:57:05.620 Because if I was

00:57:06.440 exactly right, it

00:57:07.300 was from guessing.

00:57:09.140 It would have

00:57:09.580 been from guessing.

00:57:10.260 It definitely

00:57:11.380 would not have

00:57:11.980 been from all

00:57:12.600 my smart

00:57:13.960 scientific knowledge.

00:57:16.240 But I think

00:57:17.040 maybe there's

00:57:18.460 at least a

00:57:18.960 possibility I

00:57:19.840 got everything

00:57:20.440 right, but

00:57:21.080 just by chance.

00:57:22.220 Pure luck.

00:57:27.220 All right.

00:57:29.220 Did they

00:57:29.580 vaccinate me

00:57:30.220 with processed

00:57:30.860 foods?

00:57:32.940 Oh, why are

00:57:33.780 all the excess

00:57:34.420 deaths in all

00:57:35.600 vaccinated

00:57:36.120 populations in

00:57:37.100 all countries?

00:57:39.100 And the

00:57:40.020 answer is

00:57:40.500 that, do I

00:57:44.600 want to get

00:57:44.920 into this?

00:57:46.140 Let's see.

00:57:46.720 I've got to

00:57:47.240 check my

00:57:47.900 desire for

00:57:49.900 conflict this

00:57:51.040 morning.

00:57:52.120 Sure.

00:57:52.680 Yeah, I guess

00:57:53.240 I'm ready for

00:57:53.680 some conflict.

00:57:55.580 Do you think

00:57:56.420 that the

00:57:56.960 mainstream media's

00:57:58.120 data about

00:57:59.400 excess deaths

00:58:00.340 looks anything

00:58:01.620 like the stuff

00:58:02.300 you're seeing?

00:58:04.620 Does it look

00:58:05.440 anything like

00:58:06.340 it?

00:58:07.020 No.

00:58:07.440 Now, if

00:58:08.820 you're a

00:58:09.680 right-leaning

00:58:10.180 person who

00:58:10.720 uses social

00:58:11.300 media, you've

00:58:12.520 seen tons of

00:58:13.380 excess death

00:58:14.220 claims.

00:58:15.840 The people who

00:58:16.720 read regular

00:58:17.500 media, they

00:58:18.440 haven't seen

00:58:19.040 any of them.

00:58:20.500 To them, that

00:58:21.060 doesn't exist.

00:58:23.340 The mainstream

00:58:23.960 media doesn't

00:58:24.640 recognize that

00:58:25.260 as even

00:58:25.640 existing.

00:58:26.800 Now, they

00:58:27.500 do recognize

00:58:28.140 that there

00:58:28.620 is excess

00:58:30.300 deaths.

00:58:32.020 But if you

00:58:32.780 looked at the

00:58:33.420 stated reasons

00:58:34.800 for them, it

00:58:35.460 all looks like

00:58:35.940 just normal

00:58:36.440 stuff.

00:58:37.880 Like, the

00:58:38.420 vaccination is

00:58:39.180 not even

00:58:39.540 listed as a

00:58:40.460 potential reason.

00:58:43.160 It's just, oh,

00:58:44.060 ordinary stuff.

00:58:47.000 Yeah.

00:58:47.940 Unreliable

00:58:48.540 data, whatever.

00:58:50.000 I don't know.

00:58:51.940 I don't know.

00:58:52.880 My personal

00:58:53.980 view is that

00:58:55.160 I don't have

00:58:56.060 any idea if

00:58:57.000 there are

00:58:57.480 actually excess

00:58:58.520 deaths or

00:58:59.960 what caused

00:59:00.500 them.

00:59:00.740 because I

00:59:02.940 don't believe

00:59:03.480 that can be

00:59:04.060 determined by

00:59:04.820 science or

00:59:05.540 data in a

00:59:07.020 way that's

00:59:07.400 credible.

00:59:08.100 It could be,

00:59:09.000 it's probably

00:59:09.580 possible that

00:59:10.260 you could do

00:59:10.680 it, but even

00:59:12.120 if somebody did

00:59:12.840 it and they

00:59:13.200 had the right

00:59:13.640 answer, how

00:59:14.120 would they

00:59:14.360 ever communicate

00:59:15.060 that to me?

00:59:16.720 How would

00:59:17.060 anybody ever

00:59:17.800 convince me

00:59:18.540 that they had

00:59:19.560 the right

00:59:19.920 answer on

00:59:20.500 excess deaths?

00:59:22.780 I've seen,

00:59:23.760 I've probably

00:59:24.620 seen 40 or

00:59:25.400 50 claims.

00:59:26.680 I didn't believe

00:59:27.280 any of them.

00:59:27.800 I didn't

00:59:29.360 believe they

00:59:29.740 were necessarily

00:59:30.360 wrong, it's

00:59:31.740 just I didn't

00:59:32.160 have a reason

00:59:32.640 to believe

00:59:33.040 them.

00:59:33.940 Just because

00:59:34.500 it's science

00:59:35.080 and it's data

00:59:35.680 and somebody

00:59:36.640 credible did

00:59:37.340 it, not good

00:59:38.120 enough.

00:59:39.020 Doesn't mean

00:59:39.480 anything to me.

00:59:40.160 It has no

00:59:40.500 value at all.

00:59:41.740 Just absolute

00:59:42.660 noise.

00:59:44.560 I wish that

00:59:45.340 were not the

00:59:45.760 case.

00:59:46.140 I wish science

00:59:46.720 were credible

00:59:48.300 enough that if

00:59:49.380 enough scientists

00:59:50.180 were on the

00:59:50.620 same side, that

00:59:51.260 would mean

00:59:51.580 something, but

00:59:52.520 it really

00:59:52.740 doesn't.

00:59:53.780 Not anymore.

00:59:57.800 Yeah, apparently

01:00:01.300 a big part of

01:00:03.680 the excess

01:00:04.100 deaths is

01:00:05.040 self-harm.

01:00:06.520 Were you

01:00:06.840 aware of

01:00:07.120 that?

01:00:08.200 So I saw

01:00:08.680 one claim

01:00:09.280 that said,

01:00:09.680 oh yeah,

01:00:10.280 excess deaths

01:00:10.960 are up in

01:00:11.340 the United

01:00:11.620 States, but

01:00:12.940 if you take

01:00:13.440 out the

01:00:13.840 self-harm

01:00:14.460 categories, like

01:00:15.520 more suicide,

01:00:16.700 more drinking

01:00:17.200 yourself to

01:00:17.760 death, more

01:00:19.080 drug overdose,

01:00:20.760 if you take

01:00:21.680 that stuff

01:00:22.120 out, it

01:00:22.920 ends up

01:00:23.420 that the

01:00:24.020 excess

01:00:24.460 shrinks

01:00:25.060 quite a

01:00:25.460 bit.

01:00:25.640 And I

01:00:27.420 don't know

01:00:27.740 that vaccinations

01:00:28.620 would cause

01:00:29.260 more suicides.

01:00:31.560 I don't

01:00:32.200 know that it

01:00:32.620 doesn't,

01:00:33.260 either.

01:00:35.480 All right.

01:00:38.260 Let me

01:00:38.880 read to you

01:00:39.300 today the

01:00:40.560 Dilbert Reborn

01:00:41.560 comic that's

01:00:42.440 running today.

01:00:44.540 Now you can

01:00:45.260 only see this

01:00:45.820 if you're a

01:00:46.320 subscriber on

01:00:47.340 the Locals

01:00:48.320 platform,

01:00:49.240 scottadams.locals.com,

01:00:51.380 or if you're a

01:00:52.380 subscriber to

01:00:53.120 the Twitter

01:00:54.180 special

01:00:55.240 subscription

01:00:55.840 site that

01:00:56.460 has a

01:00:56.720 Dilbert

01:00:56.920 comic.

01:00:57.920 But in

01:00:58.260 it, I've

01:00:59.240 got a

01:00:59.840 character who

01:01:00.380 was introduced

01:01:00.900 in recent

01:01:01.720 years called

01:01:03.000 Dave the

01:01:03.480 Engineer.

01:01:04.620 So Dave

01:01:05.020 is black,

01:01:06.440 although he

01:01:07.360 identifies as

01:01:08.360 white because 0.99

01:01:08.980 he's a

01:01:09.360 prankster.

01:01:10.920 So Dave

01:01:11.820 just likes to

01:01:12.660 cause trouble,

01:01:13.860 but he likes to

01:01:14.600 do it while

01:01:15.020 acting like he's

01:01:15.860 not.

01:01:17.240 So Dave is

01:01:17.960 actually based

01:01:18.560 on a real

01:01:19.300 co-worker I

01:01:19.980 had who was

01:01:20.520 not black,

01:01:21.100 but he was

01:01:21.420 hilarious.

01:01:22.460 It's funny,

01:01:22.840 his name was

01:01:23.220 Red.

01:01:24.380 That's funny.

01:01:25.240 But he

01:01:26.260 would go into

01:01:26.680 meetings and

01:01:27.400 he would use

01:01:29.060 corporate talk

01:01:30.140 to sound like

01:01:31.580 he was really

01:01:32.000 saying stuff,

01:01:33.340 but it wasn't

01:01:33.900 really saying

01:01:34.380 anything.

01:01:35.140 And all the

01:01:36.720 co-workers knew

01:01:37.560 that he was

01:01:38.420 just full of

01:01:38.960 shit.

01:01:39.460 And we would

01:01:39.920 laugh so hard

01:01:40.720 when he did

01:01:41.120 this.

01:01:41.900 You do a

01:01:43.460 status report

01:01:44.120 like this.

01:01:45.380 Well, we've

01:01:46.440 got our

01:01:46.720 teamwork up and

01:01:47.480 this energy is

01:01:48.160 good.

01:01:49.280 And it would

01:01:49.760 just be a

01:01:50.140 whole bunch of

01:01:51.240 buzzwords put

01:01:52.540 together.

01:01:52.920 And when he

01:01:53.440 was done,

01:01:54.360 the boss

01:01:54.780 would just

01:01:55.160 look at him

01:01:55.760 because we'd

01:01:56.460 be just

01:01:56.860 screaming,

01:01:57.560 crying.

01:01:58.240 We would

01:01:58.520 just be

01:01:58.840 crying,

01:01:59.440 laughing so

01:02:00.120 hard because

01:02:00.860 he did it

01:02:01.220 really well.

01:02:01.820 He just

01:02:02.080 put on a

01:02:02.700 little act

01:02:03.200 where he'd

01:02:03.960 say corporate

01:02:04.480 stuff and

01:02:06.100 none of it

01:02:06.520 meant anything.

01:02:07.780 And none of

01:02:08.160 us really cared

01:02:08.760 about the

01:02:09.200 status report

01:02:10.100 from the

01:02:10.560 other departments

01:02:11.240 anyway.

01:02:12.360 So the

01:02:12.720 meeting wasn't

01:02:13.280 even useful,

01:02:15.100 but he would

01:02:16.780 add lack of

01:02:18.080 usefulness to

01:02:19.260 a useless

01:02:19.760 meeting,

01:02:20.300 which was just

01:02:20.840 so much

01:02:21.360 fun.

01:02:22.440 You couldn't

01:02:22.860 even believe

01:02:23.340 it.

01:02:23.540 Anyway,

01:02:23.840 so he became

01:02:24.280 the inspiration

01:02:24.820 for the

01:02:25.180 Dave character.

01:02:26.640 So Dave,

01:02:27.440 who's been put

01:02:28.180 in charge of

01:02:28.780 the DEI

01:02:29.660 project,

01:02:31.060 diversity,

01:02:32.160 equity,

01:02:32.860 and inclusion.

01:02:38.720 And so Dave

01:02:39.300 is giving his

01:02:39.920 progress report.

01:02:41.180 He says,

01:02:41.620 I've only been

01:02:42.060 in charge of

01:02:42.660 the DEI

01:02:43.460 group for

01:02:44.340 one day,

01:02:45.020 and already

01:02:45.480 I've increased

01:02:46.160 our diversity.

01:02:47.560 For example,

01:02:48.600 today we hired

01:02:49.360 a one-eyed

01:02:50.080 ham radio

01:02:50.820 operator,

01:02:51.660 and a woman

01:02:52.240 who hates

01:02:52.840 every kind

01:02:53.300 of cheese.

01:02:54.720 And the

01:02:55.100 third penalty

01:02:55.620 says,

01:02:56.580 and I have

01:02:57.100 my eye

01:02:57.580 on a Belgian.

01:02:59.520 And the

01:03:00.120 boss looks at

01:03:00.740 him and says,

01:03:01.280 we need to

01:03:01.920 talk.

01:03:05.520 I have my

01:03:06.440 eye on a

01:03:06.980 Belgian.

01:03:08.280 I am more

01:03:09.080 proud of that

01:03:09.640 punchline than

01:03:10.300 any punchline

01:03:11.040 I've ever

01:03:11.560 written.

01:03:12.700 I have my

01:03:13.560 eye on a

01:03:14.120 Belgian.

01:03:15.220 I don't

01:03:15.440 know.

01:03:16.460 To me,

01:03:16.840 that's funny.

01:03:19.360 So I

01:03:21.400 remind you

01:03:22.080 that although

01:03:22.740 the Dilbert

01:03:23.360 Reborn comic

01:03:24.260 would be

01:03:26.700 fully

01:03:27.460 unacceptable

01:03:28.240 in newspapers

01:03:29.240 because they

01:03:29.960 have such

01:03:30.320 a tight

01:03:30.820 standard,

01:03:31.640 I'm not

01:03:32.260 making fun

01:03:32.720 of any

01:03:32.980 people.

01:03:34.120 I don't

01:03:34.440 do that.

01:03:35.320 So I'm

01:03:35.580 not going

01:03:35.800 to mock

01:03:36.080 any group.

01:03:37.380 I just

01:03:37.600 want to be

01:03:37.900 clear about

01:03:38.420 that.

01:03:39.280 I'm not

01:03:39.960 behind a

01:03:40.480 subscription

01:03:41.000 wall so I

01:03:42.040 can say

01:03:42.340 shitty stuff

01:03:43.020 about people.

01:03:44.560 I don't

01:03:45.020 do that.

01:03:45.660 That's not

01:03:45.980 my thing.

01:03:46.380 But I'm

01:03:48.400 definitely

01:03:48.660 going to do

01:03:49.020 things that

01:03:49.500 would get

01:03:49.780 me in

01:03:50.040 trouble if

01:03:51.520 I did

01:03:51.820 them in

01:03:52.140 the free

01:03:52.460 world,

01:03:53.600 the non-free

01:03:54.840 world, I

01:03:55.320 guess.

01:03:56.060 So I'll

01:03:56.560 put it

01:03:56.780 behind the

01:03:57.140 subscription

01:03:57.620 layer and

01:03:59.560 then anybody

01:04:00.000 who wants

01:04:00.280 to see it

01:04:00.600 can see it.

01:04:01.580 Nobody will

01:04:02.120 be offended.

01:04:03.340 All is

01:04:03.800 good.

01:04:04.460 No complaints,

01:04:05.200 by the way,

01:04:05.560 from anybody

01:04:05.940 who's

01:04:06.180 subscribed.

01:04:08.020 So that's

01:04:08.580 all good.

01:04:11.520 Chris,

01:04:12.160 you're a

01:04:12.580 Belgian.

01:04:14.160 Good to

01:04:14.700 know.

01:04:14.860 Good to

01:04:15.860 know.

01:04:16.380 YouTube,

01:04:20.120 thanks for

01:04:20.640 joining.

01:04:22.240 Hope I

01:04:22.620 wasn't too

01:04:23.120 cranky today.

01:04:26.640 I'll talk

01:04:27.360 to you

01:04:27.560 tomorrow.

01:04:28.520 Thanks.
