00:00:00.080 What do you think is going on, Zuby?
00:00:02.300 I think we're living through a period of moral panic,
00:00:07.520 mass psychosis, mass formation, and overall confusion.
00:00:12.820 And I think what's particularly strange
00:00:15.360 is that this is happening pretty much on a global scale.
00:00:24.080 Hello, and welcome to Trigonometry.
00:00:26.960 I'm Francis Foster.
00:00:28.260 I'm Constantine Kissen.
00:00:29.300 And this is a show for you if you want honest conversations
00:00:33.180 with fascinating people.
00:00:35.360 Doesn't get any better than who we have for you today.
00:00:37.960 He's an author, rapper, and podcaster, and a friend of the show.
00:00:40.760 Zuby, welcome back, bro. How are you doing?
00:00:42.340 Always good, man. Happy to be back.
00:00:43.780 It's good to have you back.
00:00:45.020 Listen, we seem to get you in.
00:00:46.080 I think the first time we spoke,
00:00:47.740 we were probably one of the first people
00:00:49.040 to do a long-form interview with you.
00:00:51.500 Then the world went crazy last year
00:00:54.180 over the whole BLM thing.
00:00:55.460 We had you in then.
00:00:56.640 And we've got you back now.
00:00:57.920 Give us some sanity, please.
00:01:01.540 We sort of feel like we have to get you in to give us...
00:01:04.240 You've been commenting on the COVID thing extensively
00:01:06.380 from the very beginning.
00:01:08.360 What do you think is going on, Zuby?
00:01:10.540 I think we're living through a period of moral panic,
00:01:15.480 mass psychosis, mass formation,
00:01:17.760 confusion, and overall confusion.
00:01:20.900 And I think what's particularly strange
00:01:23.320 is that this is happening pretty much on a global scale.
00:01:26.560 Actually, over the past 18 months,
00:01:28.040 I've traveled to seven different countries.
00:01:29.820 I spent a lot of time out in the USA.
00:01:32.140 As you guys saw, I went to 10 different states.
00:01:34.600 Beyond that, I've been to Turkey, Mexico, Portugal,
00:01:37.880 Greece, Romania,
00:01:39.040 and the UK, of course.
00:01:42.660 And it's weird to have...
00:01:45.360 This might be the first time in history, actually,
00:01:47.200 where the entire world
00:01:48.460 has been going through the same thing
00:01:50.840 at the same time,
00:01:52.660 and everybody is interconnected
00:01:54.760 and able to communicate with each other
00:01:57.060 and all of that.
00:01:58.060 But if you think of it,
00:01:58.740 when things happen,
00:01:59.920 normally they're fairly localized
00:02:01.400 to a certain country or region.
00:02:03.860 But with this whole situation,
00:02:05.940 this whole pandemic,
00:02:06.820 and the response to the pandemic,
00:02:08.600 which the secondary part to me,
00:02:10.760 personally, has been far more concerning
00:02:12.060 from the beginning,
00:02:13.520 it's weird that no matter where you go,
00:02:15.500 whatever city, whatever country,
00:02:16.960 wherever you are,
00:02:18.240 you can say COVID or the pandemic or whatever,
00:02:21.240 and everyone knows exactly
00:02:22.960 what you're talking about.
00:02:24.260 It's the same word in every single language.
00:02:25.780 It's COVID everywhere.
00:02:26.660 And everyone knows what that means.
00:02:29.280 And you can't really...
00:02:31.320 You can't escape it, actually.
00:02:33.060 But it's virtually everywhere.
00:02:35.840 And one of the points you said
00:02:37.400 is mass psychosis and all of that.
00:02:41.100 I mean, there is a pandemic, right?
00:02:42.920 There is a disease.
00:02:44.220 There's a disease, yeah.
00:02:45.200 Yeah.
00:02:45.840 So there's a lot of people
00:02:47.220 who would take issue with that, obviously.
00:02:49.080 And they would say,
00:02:50.360 well, there's a global pandemic.
00:02:51.580 We had to respond to it
00:02:52.780 in every way to save lives.
00:02:55.300 That's the argument that people
00:02:56.980 have been putting forward a lot to me
00:02:58.600 and to you online, et cetera.
00:03:00.420 So what do you say to those people?
00:03:01.960 Well, that's based off of the assumption
00:03:03.800 and the conclusion
00:03:05.540 that the measures and response
00:03:09.000 has been a net positive
00:03:11.340 and has saved more lives
00:03:13.640 than it's either directly or indirectly killed,
00:03:17.920 let alone harmed.
00:03:19.220 I mean, how do you measure...
00:03:21.560 How do you actually measure lives saved?
00:03:23.840 How do you measure harm caused?
00:03:25.400 How do you measure the damage caused
00:03:27.980 to people's mental and physical health,
00:03:31.000 missed cancer treatments and diagnoses?
00:03:34.080 I guess those can be quantified.
00:03:35.620 Well, just to interrupt you very briefly,
00:03:37.980 there was an article in The Telegraph,
00:03:39.800 which will pop up on the screen.
00:03:41.900 There's three quarters of a million
00:03:43.940 missed cancer...
00:03:45.220 Up to three quarters of a million
00:03:46.780 missed cancer diagnoses in the UK.
00:03:49.700 Okay.
00:03:50.120 Alone.
00:03:50.860 So that's about, what,
00:03:52.000 five times as many
00:03:53.480 as the official death count
00:03:55.600 from with COVID.
00:03:57.680 Yeah.
00:03:59.040 Yeah.
00:03:59.680 So that's just...
00:04:00.540 And that's just cancer.
00:04:02.100 What about the damage caused to children?
00:04:03.900 What about the effects of unemployment,
00:04:05.560 inflation, mental health,
00:04:07.200 suicide, depression?
00:04:08.320 There are a lot of factors.
00:04:09.900 There's a lot of stuff
00:04:10.900 that has been going on.
00:04:13.760 So if you're going to talk about any measure,
00:04:15.940 and this is what I was sort of screaming
00:04:17.660 from the beginning,
00:04:18.420 you have to weigh up pros and cons.
00:04:22.060 We're still living in this time where,
00:04:24.080 look, when it comes to lockdowns
00:04:26.280 and mask mandates,
00:04:27.840 and one could even argue vaccination rates
00:04:29.980 to some extent,
00:04:31.320 depending on which countries you're looking at,
00:04:33.600 there is no solid, strong evidence
00:04:36.060 that lockdowns have helped to save lives.
00:04:41.500 It's very fuzzy.
00:04:43.420 If you look at the USA,
00:04:44.680 you look state to state,
00:04:45.560 you've got 50 different countries
00:04:46.780 which all implemented different lockdown policies.
00:04:49.400 There's no correlation
00:04:51.020 between the lockdowns
00:04:53.920 and the death rates per million.
00:04:56.040 Even if you were to look at a country like Sweden
00:04:58.100 within Europe,
00:04:59.380 which didn't do a lockdown
00:05:00.700 and you compare it, say, to the UK,
00:05:03.080 Sweden never had a lockdown,
00:05:04.260 never had a mask mandate
00:05:05.160 throughout this whole thing.
00:05:07.640 Sweden, I believe,
00:05:08.720 has lower death per million number
00:05:11.340 than the UK does.
00:05:12.280 If you look at the entire continent of Africa,
00:05:14.720 5% vaccination rate,
00:05:16.600 maybe not even up to.
00:05:18.240 54 countries,
00:05:20.400 poor healthcare systems in general
00:05:22.080 compared to the West,
00:05:23.580 poor infrastructure.
00:05:26.620 Many places didn't really do
00:05:28.060 very hard lockdowns.
00:05:29.320 Many places never had mask mandates.
00:05:30.700 The entire continent of Africa,
00:05:33.520 I believe,
00:05:34.240 has approximately,
00:05:35.240 according to official stats,
00:05:36.320 the same death count as the UK.
00:05:38.680 66 million versus 1.4 billion.
00:05:41.900 I don't know.
00:05:42.560 What's the UK vaccination rate?
00:05:44.440 80% plus versus 5%.
00:05:47.140 So these are huge things
00:05:50.760 that don't make sense
00:05:53.700 based off of what one would expect.
00:05:56.020 Now, I'm a very pro-liberty person.
00:05:57.860 Even if lockdowns and mask mandates
00:06:00.880 were somewhat effective,
00:06:03.160 I would not be in favor of them
00:06:05.040 being mandated
00:06:06.120 by the force of the state.
00:06:07.900 However, it's an extra slap in the face
00:06:10.300 when people are promoting these policies
00:06:12.360 and you can look at it at this.
00:06:14.220 We've got two years of data
00:06:15.440 from all these different countries
00:06:16.660 and you can't show me
00:06:18.260 a strong correlation
00:06:19.480 between either lockdowns
00:06:21.600 or mask mandates
00:06:22.560 and hospitalization rates,
00:06:24.740 infection rates,
00:06:25.880 death rates.
00:06:26.420 people always want it
00:06:28.040 to do something.
00:06:29.180 I think it's natural
00:06:30.220 for human beings
00:06:31.080 to think that
00:06:31.780 you can't just do nothing, right?
00:06:33.920 Like you've got,
00:06:34.800 there's a threat here
00:06:35.600 and the answer cannot be
00:06:38.320 do nothing
00:06:39.980 or keep calm, carry on, right?
00:06:42.500 Which is actually,
00:06:43.200 ironically,
00:06:43.700 that's finally what the UK
00:06:45.060 was going to do to begin with.
00:06:46.280 And then Boris got COVID himself
00:06:47.700 and I think he got spooked
00:06:48.580 and the media was pressuring him.
00:06:49.940 So he kind of copycatted
00:06:51.280 what was going on elsewhere.
00:06:52.720 Whereas countries like Sweden
00:06:54.160 and I believe a couple others
00:06:55.300 like Albania,
00:06:56.320 they were like,
00:06:57.720 no, we're not going to do this.
00:07:00.540 It doesn't make sense
00:07:02.120 based on previous pandemic protocols.
00:07:04.280 They're looking at the numbers
00:07:06.040 and the science itself.
00:07:07.900 They're like,
00:07:08.460 okay, this is the group
00:07:09.260 that's vulnerable.
00:07:10.580 Okay, this group is not vulnerable.
00:07:13.340 This is the infection fatality rate,
00:07:15.800 so on and so forth.
00:07:16.520 Looking at the actual data,
00:07:17.780 looking at the science itself
00:07:18.720 and going,
00:07:19.840 okay, the response
00:07:20.900 has to be proportionate.
00:07:22.820 And I think disproportionate
00:07:24.260 has been one of the key words
00:07:27.400 that struck me here.
00:07:28.860 Disproportionate and precedent.
00:07:30.000 I think a lot of the precedents
00:07:31.620 that have been set
00:07:32.320 are extraordinarily dangerous
00:07:34.300 because people also have to remember,
00:07:35.680 look, we're supposed to live
00:07:36.500 in free countries.
00:07:38.020 One of the best things
00:07:38.780 about the Western world,
00:07:40.600 Western Europe, USA, Canada,
00:07:42.260 Australia, New Zealand,
00:07:43.160 all of that has been freedom
00:07:44.980 and liberty
00:07:46.120 and the fact that people
00:07:46.920 do have individual rights
00:07:48.400 and that they are free
00:07:50.140 to generally make their own choices,
00:07:51.820 so on and so forth.
00:07:53.000 I'm glad that you've used
00:07:53.960 the past tense for those statements.
00:07:57.580 Well, look,
00:07:58.360 this is the dream
00:07:59.240 we were all sold, right?
00:08:00.800 So that is,
00:08:02.940 it's been weird to me
00:08:04.140 to see in these countries
00:08:05.640 how loosely and easily
00:08:09.320 people have been willing
00:08:10.560 to just jettison that
00:08:11.600 because they're afraid, right?
00:08:13.600 It's like, no,
00:08:14.440 that still matters.
00:08:15.660 And people like to just go
00:08:16.860 to, well, look,
00:08:18.140 this many people have died.
00:08:19.220 If you're in the USA,
00:08:19.940 people will scream,
00:08:20.660 you know,
00:08:20.840 but 700,000 Americans have died.
00:08:23.020 People say 140,000 people
00:08:24.520 in the UK have died,
00:08:25.360 5 million worldwide.
00:08:27.220 Firstly,
00:08:28.340 those numbers are sketchy, okay?
00:08:30.020 We don't actually know
00:08:30.680 how many people have died
00:08:31.540 of COVID directly from it.
00:08:34.120 To this day,
00:08:34.660 we actually don't have a clue,
00:08:36.000 which is concerning.
00:08:37.700 I think we should know
00:08:38.720 that by now.
00:08:39.680 There should be
00:08:40.120 some kind of audit.
00:08:41.240 The reason you're saying that
00:08:42.360 is because many of the deaths
00:08:43.740 have been people
00:08:44.260 who had COVID.
00:08:45.440 Yes.
00:08:45.840 But they did not,
00:08:46.580 there's no evidence necessarily
00:08:48.020 that they died of COVID.
00:08:49.540 In fact,
00:08:49.860 in this country,
00:08:50.520 again,
00:08:51.180 this has been covered
00:08:52.020 extensively in the media.
00:08:53.460 There was a long period of time
00:08:54.620 that COVID deaths
00:08:55.880 was anybody
00:08:56.820 who died
00:08:58.180 having been diagnosed
00:08:59.240 positive for COVID.
00:09:00.120 So if you got diagnosed
00:09:01.340 positive for COVID
00:09:02.200 without any symptoms,
00:09:03.260 walked out of the hospital,
00:09:04.340 got hit by a bus,
00:09:05.220 you died of COVID.
00:09:06.420 Yes.
00:09:06.760 Deaths within 28 days
00:09:07.940 of a positive test.
00:09:08.840 Right.
00:09:09.200 I think that's still
00:09:09.700 how it's counted.
00:09:10.720 I think at some point
00:09:11.600 it was 90 days
00:09:12.400 within a positive test.
00:09:13.640 Now,
00:09:14.280 to show people
00:09:14.980 just how absurd that is
00:09:16.280 to quantify it,
00:09:17.100 okay?
00:09:17.700 Let's talk about
00:09:18.560 the sacred cow
00:09:20.100 is the vaccine, right?
00:09:21.480 You know,
00:09:21.680 no one's allowed
00:09:22.140 to criticize vaccines,
00:09:23.760 et cetera.
00:09:24.620 If I were,
00:09:25.740 and this is not my position,
00:09:26.760 by the way,
00:09:27.120 and this is not
00:09:27.580 how I would ever count it,
00:09:28.520 but I'm using this
00:09:29.280 to make the example.
00:09:30.540 If somebody
00:09:31.440 who is skeptical
00:09:33.080 or cautious
00:09:33.760 or even full-on
00:09:35.140 anti-vax,
00:09:36.000 which is a very,
00:09:36.720 very small minority
00:09:37.460 of people,
00:09:38.500 and they were trying
00:09:39.680 to tell you
00:09:41.580 that the vaccine
00:09:42.200 is dangerous
00:09:42.680 and they said,
00:09:43.680 and the way
00:09:44.280 that they counted
00:09:44.940 vaccine deaths
00:09:45.860 or deaths
00:09:47.000 was a death
00:09:48.560 within 28 days
00:09:50.000 of taking a vaccine,
00:09:52.140 what would people say?
00:09:53.980 They'd say that
00:09:54.620 you're being disingenuous,
00:09:55.700 mate, come on.
00:09:56.680 But that's how
00:09:57.300 they count the COVID deaths.
00:09:58.600 That's the official way.
00:10:00.380 So you could say
00:10:01.400 that that's a maximum.
00:10:03.160 So you could say
00:10:03.620 in the UK
00:10:04.100 at most
00:10:04.980 around 150,000 deaths.
00:10:07.800 What percentage
00:10:08.540 of that is
00:10:09.400 from COVID
00:10:10.940 directly
00:10:11.620 versus with?
00:10:12.760 I don't know.
00:10:13.200 I think in terms
00:10:13.720 of the comorbidities,
00:10:15.000 you're talking about
00:10:15.900 90% plus
00:10:16.980 of those deaths
00:10:17.700 involved other comorbidities.
00:10:19.480 That doesn't necessarily
00:10:20.640 mean that that person
00:10:21.740 couldn't have died
00:10:22.580 from COVID,
00:10:23.600 but of course,
00:10:24.400 these can include,
00:10:25.000 you know,
00:10:25.180 people being diabetic,
00:10:26.500 having various types
00:10:27.260 of cancers,
00:10:28.220 all sorts of different
00:10:29.200 illnesses which are
00:10:29.940 factored in there.
00:10:30.940 And also,
00:10:31.480 you have to look
00:10:31.980 at the age as well.
00:10:32.940 So again,
00:10:33.320 if you're talking about,
00:10:34.820 you know,
00:10:35.420 when people are looking
00:10:37.220 at figures and facts,
00:10:38.320 you have to contextualize them.
00:10:40.880 So if you're going
00:10:41.400 to say that,
00:10:43.080 you know,
00:10:43.280 so a lot of people say,
00:10:44.100 Zuby, look,
00:10:44.800 5 million people worldwide
00:10:46.020 have died of this disease
00:10:47.000 in the past two years.
00:10:49.200 Firstly,
00:10:50.920 two important ways
00:10:52.980 to contextualize that.
00:10:54.180 Number one question
00:10:55.240 I'd ask is what was
00:10:56.220 the average age of death?
00:10:58.000 Okay.
00:10:58.420 So in the UK,
00:10:59.960 I believe the average age
00:11:01.180 of death was around 82.
00:11:03.380 It was, yeah.
00:11:04.120 Okay.
00:11:04.440 Which is about the average
00:11:05.280 life expectancy.
00:11:06.820 So that does matter.
00:11:08.880 Is this me saying that,
00:11:10.100 you know,
00:11:11.260 old people should die?
00:11:13.300 I want to know.
00:11:13.840 It's not any of that,
00:11:15.220 right?
00:11:15.420 I know lots of elderly people
00:11:16.920 whom I care about
00:11:18.520 and I love.
00:11:19.140 The point is that
00:11:19.940 human beings
00:11:20.840 do not live forever.
00:11:21.920 Life has 100% mortality rate.
00:11:23.740 Okay.
00:11:24.540 So someone in,
00:11:25.680 in normal times,
00:11:27.060 somebody who is
00:11:28.780 85 years old
00:11:30.180 dying of something
00:11:31.540 is,
00:11:32.560 is sad.
00:11:33.420 Death is always sad.
00:11:34.800 But it's not,
00:11:36.460 it's not a tragedy
00:11:38.380 in the way that
00:11:40.100 a 22 year old
00:11:41.380 or a 12 year old
00:11:42.500 dying is
00:11:43.400 where they're,
00:11:43.900 a huge amount of their life
00:11:45.240 has been cut short
00:11:46.280 and it feels very unfair.
00:11:47.420 If someone lives to,
00:11:48.800 honestly,
00:11:49.680 70 plus,
00:11:50.520 you'd say,
00:11:50.880 okay,
00:11:51.020 they've had a decent,
00:11:52.500 a decent fair innings.
00:11:54.000 So we were not immortal
00:11:55.380 prior to 2020
00:11:56.340 and some people
00:11:57.060 seem to have
00:11:57.920 forgotten that.
00:11:58.900 The next point
00:11:59.600 I'd make on that
00:12:00.360 is just
00:12:01.480 people don't,
00:12:02.700 aren't aware of,
00:12:03.520 I don't think people
00:12:04.160 are generally aware
00:12:04.820 of how many people
00:12:05.860 die every year.
00:12:07.020 In the UK alone,
00:12:08.220 about 1,500 people
00:12:09.760 die every day.
00:12:11.220 Every day.
00:12:12.280 1,500.
00:12:13.540 Okay.
00:12:13.880 So when we were here
00:12:15.620 earlier in the year
00:12:16.420 and they're talking about
00:12:17.240 we've had 15 COVID deaths today.
00:12:20.220 It's 15 out of 1,500 deaths.
00:12:24.200 That's,
00:12:25.360 again,
00:12:25.680 every death is sad.
00:12:27.400 It's all sad.
00:12:28.220 But the fact that
00:12:29.360 90% of the focus
00:12:30.680 is on that 15
00:12:31.620 and people aren't even aware
00:12:33.380 of those other ones.
00:12:34.260 On a global scale,
00:12:35.540 about 60 million people
00:12:36.620 worldwide
00:12:37.240 die every year.
00:12:38.640 60 million.
00:12:39.460 So if you're going to say
00:12:40.100 that 5 million people
00:12:41.240 have died,
00:12:42.100 let's,
00:12:42.540 let's say
00:12:43.820 all 5 million
00:12:44.580 died of COVID.
00:12:46.260 5 million
00:12:47.060 out of
00:12:47.980 maybe 110
00:12:49.460 to 120 million
00:12:50.820 deaths.
00:12:51.900 And then you look
00:12:53.080 at the way
00:12:53.940 people respond
00:12:55.220 to that
00:12:55.660 versus respond
00:12:56.480 to everything else.
00:12:58.300 And there are other
00:12:58.980 viral diseases
00:13:00.520 out there.
00:13:01.320 Sure,
00:13:01.520 the biggest killers
00:13:02.160 are heart disease
00:13:03.140 and cancer.
00:13:03.940 But there are other things
00:13:05.300 which are also transmissible.
00:13:06.580 But the way people respond
00:13:08.100 is not the same.
00:13:09.900 It's almost like
00:13:10.740 implicitly
00:13:12.680 people have decided
00:13:13.600 that not only
00:13:15.360 is COVID
00:13:15.840 more important
00:13:16.960 than every other threat
00:13:18.540 and also more important
00:13:19.860 than civil liberties
00:13:20.780 and more important
00:13:21.840 than freedom
00:13:22.380 and more important
00:13:23.460 than happiness
00:13:24.040 and mental health
00:13:24.840 and livelihoods.
00:13:26.620 Also,
00:13:27.480 that if you die from it,
00:13:28.980 somehow that is more tragic
00:13:30.520 and more important
00:13:32.140 than all the other things
00:13:34.120 that somebody could
00:13:35.020 get sick
00:13:35.920 or injured
00:13:36.880 or die from.
00:13:38.280 That seems to be
00:13:39.220 the unwritten
00:13:40.540 and unsaid narrative
00:13:42.060 throughout this thing
00:13:43.440 that's then used
00:13:44.060 to justify everything else
00:13:45.440 that COVID
00:13:46.320 is the most important thing
00:13:48.600 in every country.
00:13:50.980 Right?
00:13:51.500 If we have to sacrifice
00:13:52.420 all these other things
00:13:53.460 for it,
00:13:54.180 then it's worth it
00:13:56.060 because this is
00:13:56.660 the most important thing.
00:13:57.700 And that conversation
00:13:58.980 was never had.
00:14:00.000 It was just assumed.
00:14:01.080 It's actually more
00:14:01.620 of a philosophical question.
00:14:03.200 And everything sort of
00:14:04.560 is downstream
00:14:05.180 of that idea.
00:14:06.240 The civil liberties thing
00:14:11.560 I find so interesting.
00:14:13.020 The fact that we've
00:14:14.120 just been able to go,
00:14:14.940 you know what?
00:14:15.380 These don't matter.
00:14:16.660 Let's get rid of the right
00:14:17.840 to protest.
00:14:18.520 Let's get rid of the right
00:14:19.400 to congregate.
00:14:20.680 Let's get rid of the right
00:14:21.900 for people
00:14:22.440 to actually buy alcohol.
00:14:24.500 At one point,
00:14:25.840 they told the Scots
00:14:26.760 they weren't allowed
00:14:27.420 to buy alcohol.
00:14:29.000 It felt like
00:14:29.920 we were genuinely
00:14:30.920 being trolled.
00:14:31.960 Do you remember
00:14:32.260 when they said that?
00:14:33.420 It did.
00:14:34.540 It did.
00:14:34.980 Do you remember that moment
00:14:35.740 where they said,
00:14:36.460 yeah, if you're going
00:14:36.900 to have sex,
00:14:37.540 wear a mask?
00:14:38.680 Yeah, yeah.
00:14:39.560 Or when you could have,
00:14:41.040 what was it?
00:14:41.800 You had to have
00:14:42.080 a substantial meal
00:14:43.180 when they reopened
00:14:44.060 pubs temporarily
00:14:44.960 and you had to have
00:14:47.720 a meal.
00:14:48.520 It could have the Scotch.
00:14:49.680 There was the Scotch Egg
00:14:50.420 Gate, wasn't there?
00:14:51.040 Yeah.
00:14:51.400 Where you could have
00:14:52.860 a substantial meal,
00:14:53.720 but once you finish
00:14:54.360 your meal,
00:14:54.700 you can't order alcohol.
00:14:56.280 You can drink alcohol
00:14:57.020 with your meal,
00:14:57.640 but not outside of it
00:14:59.040 because of COVID.
00:15:00.580 But people just abandoned
00:15:03.320 the right to protest
00:15:04.240 and they didn't even
00:15:05.340 give it a second thought.
00:15:06.480 The only moment
00:15:07.100 when everyone woke up
00:15:08.140 was when after
00:15:09.760 the Sarah Everard murder,
00:15:10.980 you had that women's vigil
00:15:12.220 and then the police
00:15:13.540 went to break it up
00:15:14.420 and things got a bit,
00:15:15.800 you know,
00:15:16.420 things got a bit out of hand.
00:15:18.180 That's when people woke up,
00:15:19.400 but before that,
00:15:20.000 people were fine.
00:15:20.640 Yeah.
00:15:21.580 It's so worrying.
00:15:22.840 It's the power of fear.
00:15:24.560 It's really the power of fear
00:15:26.100 and something
00:15:27.500 I've been thinking
00:15:28.460 about this a lot
00:15:29.520 because to me,
00:15:30.160 what's really interesting
00:15:31.000 about this whole situation
00:15:32.080 and I think why
00:15:32.760 I talk about it a lot
00:15:33.720 is the psychology,
00:15:36.260 really understanding
00:15:37.340 the psychology.
00:15:38.840 Of course,
00:15:39.300 there's virology
00:15:40.360 and there's epidemiology
00:15:41.280 and as people like
00:15:42.280 to remind me,
00:15:42.860 I'm not a doctor
00:15:43.780 and I don't have
00:15:44.260 a medical degree.
00:15:44.780 I have the same
00:15:45.200 medical qualifications
00:15:45.980 as Bill Gates,
00:15:47.000 to be honest.
00:15:49.480 And in fact,
00:15:50.720 the same as many
00:15:51.280 of the health ministers.
00:15:51.980 I'd say I have
00:15:52.520 better qualifications
00:15:53.240 than some of them,
00:15:54.400 but I've been thinking
00:15:55.400 a lot about fear
00:15:56.520 and just individual
00:15:57.800 and collective
00:15:58.680 human psychology
00:16:00.240 because this is really
00:16:03.940 what's been at play here
00:16:05.160 and I think that
00:16:05.720 the powers that be
00:16:06.580 in the media,
00:16:07.560 in politics,
00:16:08.340 because this whole thing
00:16:09.180 has been heavily
00:16:09.800 politicized in every country,
00:16:11.640 they're really preying
00:16:13.040 upon that.
00:16:14.040 They're preying
00:16:14.540 upon this fear
00:16:16.060 emotion that human beings have.
00:16:18.880 They're preying
00:16:19.380 upon people's desire
00:16:21.400 for social status.
00:16:22.420 They're preying
00:16:23.380 upon people's desire
00:16:25.700 to fit in
00:16:26.600 and not to be
00:16:27.680 socially ostracized
00:16:29.760 or to be the one
00:16:31.040 who's the odd one out
00:16:32.040 or to be different
00:16:32.880 and they've really
00:16:33.720 weaponized all of these things
00:16:35.200 and the most dangerous
00:16:37.320 and despicable thing
00:16:38.380 they're doing,
00:16:38.920 actually,
00:16:39.160 there's a lot of them.
00:16:39.980 I think what they're doing
00:16:41.280 to children
00:16:41.620 is very despicable
00:16:42.360 but I think one of the
00:16:43.900 most insidious things
00:16:44.940 that I've seen going on
00:16:45.980 and I predicted
00:16:46.640 this happening
00:16:47.260 was this demonization
00:16:49.380 of the unvaccinated,
00:16:51.800 right?
00:16:51.960 Turning people
00:16:52.660 against each other.
00:16:53.540 I think people do have
00:16:54.420 a right to be angry
00:16:55.780 and people do have
00:16:57.080 a right to feel frustrated.
00:16:58.560 After all,
00:16:58.940 some people have been
00:16:59.540 locked in their houses
00:17:00.640 unable to,
00:17:01.660 depending on where
00:17:02.080 you live in the world,
00:17:02.820 unable to leave your region
00:17:04.200 or your country
00:17:04.880 or see your friends
00:17:06.060 or family abroad
00:17:07.320 for two years.
00:17:08.700 So I think people do have
00:17:09.700 a right to be angry
00:17:10.580 and feel frustrated
00:17:11.440 but what they've done
00:17:12.580 is they've taken that energy
00:17:14.000 and instead of people
00:17:15.600 being mad at the people
00:17:16.520 who have actually
00:17:17.040 inflicted this upon them,
00:17:18.520 they're being trained
00:17:20.640 to blame their neighbors.
00:17:23.400 That is a really good point,
00:17:24.720 man.
00:17:25.120 And this is the point,
00:17:26.000 see,
00:17:26.360 because I'm going to ask you
00:17:27.420 why you think
00:17:28.320 they're doing all of this
00:17:29.260 but before maybe,
00:17:30.540 let me just say this
00:17:31.400 because that is such a good point
00:17:32.760 and this is what
00:17:33.240 I've been saying throughout.
00:17:34.380 The reason politicians
00:17:35.320 are fueling this
00:17:37.300 is not,
00:17:38.260 in my opinion,
00:17:38.840 some great big conspiracy.
00:17:40.340 It's just that
00:17:41.200 they recognize
00:17:42.160 that every person
00:17:43.520 who dies of COVID
00:17:44.520 under their watch
00:17:45.860 is going to get
00:17:46.660 pinned on them
00:17:47.980 whereas every person
00:17:49.100 who dies of cancer
00:17:49.900 three years later
00:17:50.780 because their diagnosis
00:17:52.360 got missed
00:17:52.940 isn't.
00:17:53.940 And so what they're doing
00:17:55.160 is they are saying
00:17:56.420 these people
00:17:58.300 who haven't taken the vaccine
00:17:59.920 or who don't wear the mask
00:18:01.200 or whatever,
00:18:01.940 they are the reason
00:18:02.860 all of this is happening
00:18:03.580 and it works brilliantly
00:18:04.440 for politicians
00:18:05.040 because what it means is
00:18:06.200 the blame
00:18:07.140 isn't on them,
00:18:09.080 it gets shifted
00:18:09.880 onto these other people
00:18:11.060 who can be scapegoated
00:18:12.180 as if they're somehow
00:18:13.200 responsible for the pandemic
00:18:14.480 or the lockdowns
00:18:15.640 or the other stuff
00:18:16.660 that the government
00:18:17.200 is doing.
00:18:18.100 However, Zuby,
00:18:19.340 you've detailed
00:18:20.320 all of the terrible things
00:18:21.800 that have happened
00:18:22.300 in the last two years
00:18:23.400 which I personally
00:18:24.740 entirely agree
00:18:25.540 with what you've said.
00:18:27.240 Why is it happening?
00:18:29.260 Well,
00:18:30.100 there's this,
00:18:31.560 it depends on
00:18:32.640 how deep someone
00:18:33.460 wants to go on this really.
00:18:35.240 Okay,
00:18:35.500 if we're going to talk
00:18:36.160 about a government,
00:18:38.220 okay,
00:18:38.560 so let's talk about
00:18:39.960 some of the big
00:18:40.660 key actors here.
00:18:41.880 Let's talk about
00:18:42.560 pharmaceutical companies,
00:18:43.920 let's talk about
00:18:44.940 governments,
00:18:47.500 and let's talk about
00:18:49.040 the media,
00:18:50.360 say.
00:18:51.060 So,
00:18:51.620 what is the role,
00:18:52.240 what's the role
00:18:52.680 of a government?
00:18:53.580 The role of a government
00:18:54.280 is to exert control,
00:18:57.140 power,
00:18:57.560 and authority
00:18:58.380 to some degree.
00:19:00.040 Depending on your
00:19:00.960 personal political views,
00:19:02.400 you may differ
00:19:03.000 on how much power
00:19:04.360 and the scope
00:19:05.860 of that,
00:19:06.900 how big you think
00:19:07.820 that should be.
00:19:08.460 And so,
00:19:10.120 when it comes
00:19:10.560 to politicians,
00:19:11.800 we all know,
00:19:13.620 all throughout
00:19:15.020 human history,
00:19:16.200 all across the world,
00:19:17.840 modern times
00:19:18.540 are not particularly
00:19:19.200 unique,
00:19:20.060 that these individuals
00:19:21.380 exist
00:19:22.620 to seek
00:19:24.400 power
00:19:25.060 and control
00:19:26.000 and to exert
00:19:27.180 authority over
00:19:28.160 other human beings.
00:19:29.680 Right?
00:19:30.020 I'm not a full-blown
00:19:30.720 anarchist,
00:19:31.280 so I'm not saying
00:19:31.780 that that should exist
00:19:32.600 to no degree
00:19:33.240 whatsoever,
00:19:33.680 but that's what
00:19:35.300 they do,
00:19:36.080 right?
00:19:36.260 That's what
00:19:36.620 they're campaigning
00:19:37.300 for,
00:19:37.760 whether you're
00:19:38.320 a mayor
00:19:38.680 or you're
00:19:39.200 a governor
00:19:39.560 or you're
00:19:40.240 even a school
00:19:40.960 monitor
00:19:41.400 or you're
00:19:43.180 let alone
00:19:43.560 a president
00:19:43.980 or a prime
00:19:44.500 minister,
00:19:45.380 that's your
00:19:45.960 job,
00:19:46.780 that's your role.
00:19:47.840 And the more
00:19:48.700 you can get
00:19:49.240 people to
00:19:50.040 invest in that
00:19:50.980 idea,
00:19:51.880 then the more
00:19:52.840 votes you can win
00:19:53.540 and the more
00:19:53.900 you can maintain
00:19:54.880 control and
00:19:55.920 authority.
00:19:57.300 So,
00:19:57.920 that is
00:19:59.900 their aim.
00:20:00.920 The goal
00:20:01.840 of the government
00:20:02.660 and the goal
00:20:03.220 of politicians
00:20:03.840 isn't necessarily
00:20:05.180 to care
00:20:07.220 about you
00:20:07.960 or to take
00:20:08.560 care of your
00:20:09.100 health or your
00:20:09.680 family's health
00:20:10.440 or to do this
00:20:11.640 or to that
00:20:12.180 or for you
00:20:12.600 to be happy.
00:20:13.720 They care about
00:20:14.900 your votes
00:20:15.400 and they care
00:20:16.080 about your
00:20:16.640 taxes,
00:20:17.900 of course.
00:20:19.000 And so,
00:20:20.280 typically,
00:20:21.040 if you have
00:20:21.400 a decent
00:20:22.320 politician,
00:20:23.120 they're not
00:20:23.320 going to be
00:20:23.820 fully 100%
00:20:27.800 tyrannical
00:20:28.340 because that
00:20:29.080 will ultimately
00:20:30.580 result in some
00:20:31.540 type of revolt.
00:20:32.300 So,
00:20:33.440 when it comes
00:20:34.080 to government
00:20:34.740 entities,
00:20:36.340 power,
00:20:36.860 control,
00:20:37.280 and authority
00:20:37.820 and seizing
00:20:38.980 that is
00:20:40.000 nothing unique.
00:20:40.820 I mean,
00:20:41.180 let's look at
00:20:42.000 history,
00:20:42.420 let's look around
00:20:42.920 the world,
00:20:43.600 let's look at
00:20:44.060 the current
00:20:44.380 world.
00:20:45.860 People like
00:20:46.540 power.
00:20:47.140 That's just
00:20:47.620 how it is.
00:20:48.420 There's people
00:20:48.800 who are wired
00:20:49.340 that way.
00:20:50.440 Some people
00:20:50.780 are more
00:20:51.020 authoritarian
00:20:51.460 than others
00:20:52.080 and when you
00:20:52.540 give them
00:20:52.840 power,
00:20:53.460 they typically
00:20:53.940 don't like
00:20:54.420 to let go
00:20:54.880 of it,
00:20:55.100 even if it's
00:20:55.460 a very,
00:20:55.800 very minor
00:20:56.260 amount.
00:20:57.440 So,
00:20:57.920 that's the
00:20:59.220 power and
00:20:59.960 control aspects
00:21:00.760 because that
00:21:01.440 has been so
00:21:02.100 centralized and
00:21:03.360 under these
00:21:03.860 emergency powers
00:21:04.800 which they
00:21:05.180 can keep
00:21:05.540 rolling over
00:21:06.140 as they've
00:21:06.500 done,
00:21:07.280 they have
00:21:07.860 power to
00:21:08.600 do things
00:21:09.040 that typically
00:21:09.680 during peacetime
00:21:11.000 they do not.
00:21:12.080 So,
00:21:12.240 I think that's
00:21:12.840 something that's
00:21:13.520 just very clear.
00:21:14.840 What's the job
00:21:15.420 of a major
00:21:16.260 multinational
00:21:17.280 corporation?
00:21:18.520 Make money.
00:21:19.080 To make money,
00:21:19.860 right?
00:21:20.300 Nothing wrong
00:21:20.760 with that.
00:21:21.000 I'm a capitalist,
00:21:22.160 right?
00:21:22.400 As long as you're
00:21:22.760 doing it ethically,
00:21:23.400 nothing wrong
00:21:23.800 with that.
00:21:24.120 You have a
00:21:24.500 product,
00:21:25.080 you want to
00:21:25.460 sell your
00:21:25.740 product or
00:21:26.320 your service
00:21:26.760 to people
00:21:27.200 who willingly
00:21:27.660 want to
00:21:27.980 buy it.
00:21:28.260 So,
00:21:29.260 when you're
00:21:29.840 talking Johnson
00:21:30.620 and Johnson,
00:21:31.300 Pfizer,
00:21:31.780 Moderna,
00:21:32.160 all of these
00:21:32.580 companies,
00:21:33.720 they want to
00:21:35.660 sell as many
00:21:36.720 of their
00:21:37.760 injections as
00:21:38.780 possible.
00:21:39.440 They want to
00:21:39.840 sell as much
00:21:40.440 as possible.
00:21:41.180 Of course,
00:21:41.480 they've got these
00:21:41.980 governmental contracts
00:21:42.980 with these different
00:21:43.900 governments around
00:21:44.480 the world and
00:21:45.020 some people miss
00:21:45.720 this when they
00:21:46.200 talk about the
00:21:46.680 vaccine being
00:21:47.240 free.
00:21:47.620 It's like,
00:21:47.960 no,
00:21:48.580 that's coming
00:21:49.060 out of the
00:21:49.500 taxpayer money.
00:21:50.780 By the way,
00:21:51.320 countries like the
00:21:51.980 UK ordered
00:21:52.840 seven shots
00:21:53.740 per person,
00:21:55.100 per person,
00:21:55.960 including children,
00:21:56.640 just for 2021.
00:21:57.900 So,
00:21:58.340 the amount of
00:21:58.860 surplus is crazy.
00:22:01.140 And so,
00:22:02.000 this has been one
00:22:02.820 of the most
00:22:03.100 profitable time
00:22:04.420 periods for them.
00:22:05.920 I mean,
00:22:06.120 these companies
00:22:06.600 are making money
00:22:07.360 hand over fist
00:22:09.340 through all of
00:22:10.840 this.
00:22:11.140 Now,
00:22:11.320 if this were all
00:22:12.040 based on
00:22:12.620 voluntary activity,
00:22:14.480 I have no problem
00:22:15.500 with that whatsoever.
00:22:16.600 I'm not against
00:22:17.580 pharmaceuticals or
00:22:18.640 against medicine or
00:22:19.500 whatever.
00:22:20.180 I buy medicine
00:22:21.080 sometimes,
00:22:21.600 I get sick,
00:22:22.220 I need this,
00:22:22.760 cool,
00:22:22.920 I'm going to
00:22:23.140 go buy that.
00:22:24.280 But when it
00:22:24.800 comes to this
00:22:25.940 being in bed
00:22:27.000 with the
00:22:27.340 governments and
00:22:28.180 then the
00:22:28.960 mandating of
00:22:30.140 you must become
00:22:31.340 a Pfizer or
00:22:32.420 Moderna customer
00:22:33.260 in order to
00:22:34.540 have your freedom
00:22:35.480 or your rights
00:22:36.020 back or whatever,
00:22:36.680 like you're
00:22:37.680 moving into
00:22:38.540 the realm
00:22:38.980 of actual
00:22:39.820 fascism.
00:22:41.500 Not fascism
00:22:43.040 in the way
00:22:43.320 people mess
00:22:44.580 around with it
00:22:45.200 and this is
00:22:45.780 being enforced.
00:22:46.640 That's really
00:22:47.400 where you are.
00:22:48.140 You're no longer
00:22:48.620 in any type
00:22:49.280 of realm
00:22:49.680 of capitalism.
00:22:51.260 So,
00:22:52.080 the profit
00:22:52.600 motive is
00:22:53.160 super obvious.
00:22:54.560 As I said
00:22:56.740 before,
00:22:57.040 it's not
00:22:57.280 inherently a
00:22:58.020 bad thing
00:22:58.440 having a
00:22:58.840 profit motive,
00:22:59.740 but in this
00:23:00.600 type of
00:23:01.020 situation,
00:23:02.080 it can lead
00:23:02.580 to all types
00:23:03.340 of unethical
00:23:04.060 behavior and
00:23:04.680 I think it
00:23:05.020 also explains
00:23:05.900 whether you're
00:23:06.620 talking about
00:23:07.120 suppression of
00:23:08.120 other treatments
00:23:08.680 or you're
00:23:09.060 talking about
00:23:09.480 certain elements
00:23:10.160 of censorship
00:23:10.820 or you're
00:23:11.860 talking about
00:23:12.500 things like
00:23:13.000 natural immunity
00:23:13.860 not being
00:23:14.400 discussed or
00:23:15.000 you're talking
00:23:15.320 about trying
00:23:15.700 to force
00:23:16.460 these shots
00:23:17.000 on a population
00:23:17.740 speaking specifically
00:23:19.140 of children
00:23:19.680 who you know
00:23:20.780 are not and
00:23:21.700 never have been
00:23:22.500 at high risk
00:23:23.440 from this
00:23:23.820 particular virus
00:23:24.740 yet there's
00:23:25.520 this insane
00:23:26.420 again very
00:23:27.360 disproportionate
00:23:28.220 push for
00:23:29.060 everybody to
00:23:29.720 do this.
00:23:30.180 Now,
00:23:30.660 it was announced
00:23:31.060 yesterday they
00:23:31.640 want to get
00:23:31.980 people on a
00:23:32.500 three-month
00:23:32.960 booster campaign
00:23:33.780 so people are
00:23:34.640 taking four
00:23:35.260 injections a
00:23:36.120 year.
00:23:36.400 Has there ever
00:23:36.920 been a time
00:23:37.500 in history
00:23:38.020 where a
00:23:38.780 healthy person
00:23:39.540 let alone
00:23:40.140 everybody
00:23:40.680 needs to
00:23:41.480 take four
00:23:42.020 injections a
00:23:43.620 year?
00:23:44.260 Like that's
00:23:45.080 just think about
00:23:46.120 that.
00:23:46.360 That's unprecedented.
00:23:47.240 That's normal
00:23:48.000 but that's a
00:23:48.540 lot of money.
00:23:49.680 That's a lot
00:23:50.440 of money for
00:23:51.380 these companies.
00:23:51.920 It's a
00:23:52.300 subscription
00:23:52.640 model.
00:23:53.500 I'm an
00:23:53.800 entrepreneur.
00:23:54.320 I know that
00:23:54.660 there's nothing
00:23:56.060 better than a
00:23:56.580 subscription
00:23:56.920 model, right?
00:23:58.000 Join our
00:23:58.400 locals, guys.
00:23:59.980 We'll jam
00:24:00.520 you five times
00:24:01.300 a year.
00:24:02.400 With the
00:24:03.040 truth.
00:24:03.600 Yeah.
00:24:04.040 And then
00:24:04.640 moving to the
00:24:05.360 media companies
00:24:06.000 again.
00:24:06.560 They're companies,
00:24:07.760 right?
00:24:08.140 Their job is to
00:24:09.240 make money,
00:24:10.260 attention,
00:24:10.980 eyeballs.
00:24:11.760 We know that
00:24:12.320 fear sells.
00:24:13.320 In the media
00:24:13.800 they have that
00:24:14.320 saying if it
00:24:14.860 bleeds it
00:24:15.360 leads.
00:24:15.980 If you can get
00:24:16.460 people afraid
00:24:17.260 whether it's a
00:24:17.860 war, it's a
00:24:18.680 virus, it's
00:24:19.200 climate change,
00:24:19.780 whatever, if
00:24:20.260 people are
00:24:20.660 fearful you get
00:24:21.680 them to
00:24:21.960 click, you
00:24:22.540 get them
00:24:22.800 to buy, you
00:24:23.600 get more
00:24:23.920 advertising
00:24:24.400 revenue and
00:24:25.060 so on.
00:24:25.520 The big
00:24:26.040 orange boogeyman
00:24:27.240 is gone now
00:24:27.940 so you need
00:24:29.320 another thing to
00:24:30.380 freak people out
00:24:31.260 about.
00:24:32.140 Once they
00:24:32.740 finish this one
00:24:33.340 you can already
00:24:33.720 see they're
00:24:34.060 moving back
00:24:34.600 into the
00:24:34.980 climate change
00:24:35.600 hysteria.
00:24:37.120 Now they call it
00:24:37.520 the climate
00:24:37.860 emergency or
00:24:38.560 climate crisis
00:24:39.320 because fear
00:24:40.840 does it
00:24:42.220 sells and if
00:24:42.900 you can keep
00:24:43.460 people in that
00:24:44.080 state.
00:24:44.420 So I think
00:24:45.400 that at
00:24:46.440 the minimum
00:24:47.940 to me
00:24:48.500 money, power,
00:24:51.400 control and
00:24:52.680 authority
00:24:53.760 that explains a
00:24:57.120 lot of things.
00:24:58.060 Now you've
00:24:58.380 made the point
00:24:58.920 and you've
00:24:59.380 used the word
00:24:59.940 fascism to
00:25:00.700 describe mandating
00:25:02.660 vaccines which
00:25:03.420 I'm entirely on
00:25:04.180 board with and I
00:25:04.700 think is consistent
00:25:05.500 with the values of
00:25:07.460 fascism.
00:25:08.240 But why is it
00:25:09.120 that nobody talks
00:25:09.820 about it?
00:25:10.060 Why is it you
00:25:10.720 get people like
00:25:11.400 Ursula von der Leyen
00:25:12.440 a mainstream
00:25:13.600 well-known
00:25:14.240 German politician
00:25:15.360 German defence
00:25:16.900 minister that's
00:25:17.540 who you want
00:25:17.900 mandating vaccines
00:25:18.900 man.
00:25:19.620 And who comes
00:25:20.320 out and basically
00:25:21.260 goes you must
00:25:21.940 take the vaccine
00:25:22.760 and we're going
00:25:23.220 to mandate it.
00:25:24.800 Why is that
00:25:26.060 not controversial?
00:25:27.700 It's because
00:25:28.260 people have been
00:25:29.100 led here very
00:25:29.860 slowly.
00:25:30.640 It's happened
00:25:30.980 quickly but slowly
00:25:31.800 at the same
00:25:32.260 time.
00:25:33.220 It's been what
00:25:34.900 I call a
00:25:35.320 compliance ladder.
00:25:36.820 This is something
00:25:37.340 you can even
00:25:37.880 learn in sales.
00:25:39.300 It's really a
00:25:39.900 sales technique
00:25:40.500 which is you
00:25:41.320 start with a
00:25:41.820 very small ask.
00:25:42.740 I like to just
00:25:44.000 think back to
00:25:45.220 I don't know
00:25:45.560 February 2020
00:25:46.300 and just remember
00:25:47.460 what the narrative
00:25:48.720 was at the
00:25:49.240 beginning, what
00:25:50.180 the initial
00:25:51.220 request was and
00:25:52.640 it all starts
00:25:53.280 with things that
00:25:54.000 you can't, you
00:25:55.180 know, it's very
00:25:56.580 very minor.
00:25:57.240 It's an escalation.
00:25:58.220 So it started
00:25:58.640 with, you know,
00:25:59.880 wash your hands.
00:26:01.780 Of course,
00:26:02.360 everybody, 100%
00:26:03.760 of course, right?
00:26:04.800 Wash your hands
00:26:05.580 and then it was
00:26:06.180 stand six feet
00:26:07.620 apart, practice
00:26:08.160 social distancing,
00:26:08.880 normally I've
00:26:09.760 noticed that it's
00:26:10.280 three word,
00:26:11.340 I've noticed the
00:26:11.740 three word phrases,
00:26:12.940 wash your hands
00:26:13.480 six feet apart,
00:26:14.640 then it was
00:26:15.380 stay at home.
00:26:16.340 Stay at home
00:26:16.820 is a pretty big
00:26:17.320 ask because that's
00:26:18.660 unprecedented.
00:26:19.360 People have never
00:26:19.840 really been told
00:26:20.600 to do that before,
00:26:21.720 not in our
00:26:22.140 lifetimes.
00:26:23.200 But again, it
00:26:23.820 was like, okay,
00:26:24.800 but you know,
00:26:25.320 and it was
00:26:25.760 explained again,
00:26:26.680 flattened the
00:26:27.140 curve.
00:26:27.720 We need enough
00:26:28.420 time to get
00:26:28.880 PPE.
00:26:29.640 We need enough
00:26:30.320 time to get
00:26:30.700 ventilators.
00:26:31.220 That's how it
00:26:31.580 was all explained.
00:26:32.280 So everyone's
00:26:32.780 like, you know
00:26:33.100 what?
00:26:34.060 Look, if
00:26:34.520 that's a reasonable
00:26:36.000 request.
00:26:36.820 That was me.
00:26:37.580 I was fully on
00:26:38.400 and I'm not
00:26:39.380 criticizing anyone
00:26:40.580 for being on
00:26:41.560 board with that.
00:26:42.380 Then as time
00:26:43.300 went on, you
00:26:43.680 started to get
00:26:44.160 some weird
00:26:45.860 requests.
00:26:46.400 Clap for the
00:26:46.840 NHS.
00:26:47.940 That was a
00:26:48.520 weird one.
00:26:48.840 That was very
00:26:49.160 ritualistic.
00:26:50.400 You know, this
00:26:50.740 time every week,
00:26:51.860 like a Sunday
00:26:52.380 service, people
00:26:53.060 come out and
00:26:53.780 start doing this
00:26:55.360 behavior.
00:26:55.620 I'm not going to
00:26:56.000 get into them
00:26:56.520 firing healthcare
00:26:57.500 workers.
00:26:58.140 But that was
00:27:00.000 an odd thing.
00:27:01.220 But you had a
00:27:02.620 lot of people
00:27:03.000 participating in
00:27:03.840 that.
00:27:04.460 But it's just
00:27:04.900 been step by
00:27:05.640 step by step.
00:27:06.600 And then the
00:27:07.540 goalposts,
00:27:08.400 have shifted
00:27:09.360 and shifted
00:27:10.240 and shifted.
00:27:11.180 People forget.
00:27:12.280 People actually
00:27:12.740 totally have
00:27:13.360 forgotten what
00:27:14.280 the purpose of
00:27:14.780 lockdowns was.
00:27:15.640 The purpose of
00:27:16.260 lockdowns initially
00:27:17.440 was never to
00:27:18.400 reduce the total
00:27:19.240 number of
00:27:19.620 deaths.
00:27:20.060 It was to
00:27:20.680 spread it out
00:27:21.340 so that the
00:27:22.560 hospitals wouldn't
00:27:23.200 get overwhelmed
00:27:23.900 because they
00:27:24.240 thought, okay,
00:27:24.700 if everyone,
00:27:26.040 if 50% of the
00:27:26.900 population gets
00:27:27.480 infected at the
00:27:28.060 same time,
00:27:28.860 you're going to
00:27:29.180 have tons of
00:27:29.700 excess deaths
00:27:30.440 because the
00:27:31.100 hospitals are all
00:27:31.700 going to be
00:27:31.940 blocked and
00:27:32.300 people are going
00:27:32.660 to be dying
00:27:33.120 unnecessarily of
00:27:34.280 all sorts of
00:27:34.780 things.
00:27:35.080 So it was,
00:27:36.140 okay, we're
00:27:36.580 not going to
00:27:37.460 reduce the
00:27:38.160 total number
00:27:38.860 of infections
00:27:40.120 and deaths,
00:27:40.840 but let's
00:27:41.740 flatten the
00:27:42.440 curve and
00:27:43.360 reduce that.
00:27:44.580 Let's reduce
00:27:45.580 the rates.
00:27:47.000 And so now
00:27:47.740 this has been
00:27:48.820 another,
00:27:49.460 there have been
00:27:50.100 so many
00:27:50.520 sleights of
00:27:50.980 hand, but
00:27:51.340 the sleight of
00:27:51.760 hand now is
00:27:52.160 that lockdowns
00:27:53.100 save lives.
00:27:53.780 It's like,
00:27:54.020 wait, that was
00:27:54.480 never the
00:27:55.680 purpose of them.
00:27:56.860 That was never
00:27:57.540 actually the
00:27:58.040 purpose of them.
00:27:58.660 So now people
00:27:59.180 repeat that and
00:28:00.220 they've kind of
00:28:00.640 memory-holded what
00:28:01.480 that initial
00:28:02.180 flatten the curve
00:28:03.220 thing was all
00:28:03.820 about and
00:28:04.800 then they've
00:28:05.440 done this on
00:28:05.920 all different
00:28:06.380 things.
00:28:06.840 So I'm not
00:28:07.760 sure if they
00:28:08.200 specifically said
00:28:09.120 this in the
00:28:09.520 UK, but
00:28:09.980 certainly in
00:28:10.560 the USA,
00:28:11.760 President Biden
00:28:12.400 himself and
00:28:13.820 Rochelle
00:28:14.180 Walensky, the
00:28:15.000 director of the
00:28:15.840 CDC, both said
00:28:17.300 at the beginning
00:28:17.740 of this year
00:28:18.280 that if you get
00:28:19.140 the vaccine,
00:28:20.480 you will not
00:28:21.520 get COVID and
00:28:22.780 you will not
00:28:23.200 transmit COVID.
00:28:24.460 Right?
00:28:24.760 They claimed it
00:28:25.200 was a sterilizing
00:28:25.920 vaccine.
00:28:26.400 If you take the
00:28:26.940 shot, won't do
00:28:27.840 it.
00:28:28.620 Now, what's the
00:28:29.920 narrative on them?
00:28:30.960 Prevents severe
00:28:31.820 deaths, sorry,
00:28:32.800 prevents,
00:28:33.100 prevents severe
00:28:34.280 illness and
00:28:35.620 death.
00:28:36.900 That's a really
00:28:38.700 different thing.
00:28:39.560 And this is within
00:28:40.120 less than 12
00:28:41.220 months.
00:28:42.300 So a lot of
00:28:42.780 people, I mean,
00:28:43.140 there are people
00:28:43.500 to this day who
00:28:44.740 still think that it
00:28:45.800 stops transmission
00:28:47.440 and it stops
00:28:48.180 infection.
00:28:48.640 And that's what,
00:28:49.060 again, that's what
00:28:49.560 all this narrative
00:28:50.240 is based on.
00:28:51.140 So there are
00:28:51.700 certain myths or
00:28:52.620 outright lies that
00:28:53.620 this is based on.
00:28:54.480 You know, you had
00:28:54.840 the whole asymptomatic
00:28:55.700 transmission thing.
00:28:57.000 Act like you've got
00:28:57.620 it, you know,
00:28:58.080 there's asymptomatic,
00:28:59.540 again, Lord Fauci
00:29:00.800 himself said that
00:29:01.640 asymptomatic
00:29:02.200 transmission is
00:29:03.380 not a major
00:29:03.960 driver of any
00:29:04.660 pandemic.
00:29:05.700 And now
00:29:06.080 everything, all
00:29:06.920 these policies
00:29:07.700 from the masking
00:29:08.940 to the social,
00:29:09.620 it's all based on
00:29:10.500 the notion that
00:29:11.120 all of us at
00:29:11.980 all times could
00:29:13.320 be sick and
00:29:13.860 everyone around
00:29:14.440 you could be
00:29:14.980 sick and could
00:29:16.380 transmit it.
00:29:17.580 So you've got
00:29:18.160 everybody acting
00:29:19.620 like they're ill
00:29:20.440 when there's no
00:29:21.900 reason to believe
00:29:22.800 that they are.
00:29:23.740 And again, this
00:29:24.240 is unprecedented.
00:29:25.080 This has never
00:29:25.660 been done before.
00:29:28.000 And so they
00:29:28.620 keep moving the
00:29:29.300 goalposts.
00:29:29.840 There have been
00:29:30.060 all these sleights
00:29:30.660 of hand.
00:29:31.220 And I think each
00:29:32.860 time it happens,
00:29:35.340 and when you have
00:29:36.080 the media support
00:29:36.900 as well, and the
00:29:37.460 media is not asking
00:29:38.420 these questions,
00:29:39.580 like I just ask a
00:29:40.740 lot of questions.
00:29:41.580 I have a long
00:29:42.060 memory and I ask a
00:29:42.880 lot of questions
00:29:43.400 and I ask for
00:29:44.220 explanations.
00:29:45.060 But the people in
00:29:45.920 the media, the
00:29:46.560 so-called journalists
00:29:47.180 are not willing to
00:29:47.980 do that, either
00:29:49.220 because they're on
00:29:49.840 the payroll or maybe
00:29:50.720 they're just afraid
00:29:51.420 or whatever it is.
00:29:52.840 And so you don't
00:29:54.040 get these answers.
00:29:55.560 Sorry, what do
00:29:57.680 you mean on the
00:29:58.080 payroll?
00:29:58.880 Whose payroll?
00:30:00.740 Matt.
00:30:02.660 Pharmaceutical
00:30:03.220 companies, for one.
00:30:05.500 And governments,
00:30:06.380 depending on which
00:30:07.180 organizations we're
00:30:08.060 talking about.

00:31:05.540 Sponsored by
00:31:06.120 Pfizer.
00:31:06.960 In the USA
00:31:07.580 the big pharma
00:31:08.240 companies run
00:31:09.340 man they're in bed
00:31:10.960 with so many
00:31:12.380 people in Congress.
00:31:13.580 I think they have
00:31:13.960 over I think
00:31:14.420 I mean I'm pretty
00:31:16.480 sure don't don't
00:31:17.620 quote me on this
00:31:18.200 but isn't it like
00:31:18.740 Pfizer alone has
00:31:19.960 something like a
00:31:20.540 hundred lobbyists
00:31:21.600 in the U.S.
00:31:22.720 government.
00:31:23.560 I think there's
00:31:24.160 several there's
00:31:24.860 several hundred
00:31:25.480 big pharma lobbyists
00:31:26.740 within the U.S.
00:31:28.620 government and
00:31:29.180 then so many
00:31:30.200 stocks are held
00:31:31.020 by these politicians
00:31:31.800 and then they're
00:31:32.380 sponsoring the
00:31:33.560 media channels
00:31:34.420 whether you're
00:31:35.500 talking they've
00:31:36.760 got their money
00:31:37.220 in CNN and
00:31:38.240 CBS and all
00:31:39.500 these companies
00:31:40.280 they've got their
00:31:41.660 money they've got
00:31:42.960 their money
00:31:43.280 everywhere.
00:31:43.660 and that's
00:31:46.000 that's a conflict
00:31:47.740 of interest.
00:31:49.000 I mean of course
00:31:49.400 that that's a huge
00:31:50.060 conflict of interest.
00:31:51.520 The executive
00:31:52.760 director of
00:31:53.520 Reuters itself
00:31:54.560 is a
00:31:56.220 he believes he's
00:31:57.360 a board member
00:31:58.260 at Pfizer I
00:31:59.060 believe or
00:31:59.940 he's either a
00:32:01.360 board member or
00:32:02.260 one of their
00:32:03.160 sort of top
00:32:04.600 investors and
00:32:05.640 stakeholders.
00:32:07.000 That's a very
00:32:07.620 obvious conflict
00:32:08.620 of interest.
00:32:10.640 Same when you've
00:32:11.400 got guys like
00:32:12.240 Fauci and the
00:32:13.440 whole thing is
00:32:13.980 just this web
00:32:14.820 is this entangled
00:32:16.140 web of everyone
00:32:18.160 sort of being
00:32:19.100 behind the same
00:32:19.780 thing and so
00:32:20.520 that's why you're
00:32:21.520 not there's really
00:32:22.100 obvious questions
00:32:22.900 that are not being
00:32:23.540 asked and there's
00:32:24.180 really huge elements
00:32:25.580 of science itself
00:32:27.020 and immunology
00:32:27.860 itself that are
00:32:28.980 being totally
00:32:29.580 ignored if you
00:32:30.220 want to see a
00:32:31.540 huge one and
00:32:32.640 you know the
00:32:34.280 denial or the
00:32:35.760 unwillingness to
00:32:36.480 talk about natural
00:32:37.280 immunity.
00:32:37.900 I don't know why
00:32:38.380 people don't talk
00:32:38.980 about it but we've
00:32:40.060 both had COVID
00:32:41.040 and people are
00:32:42.140 trying to get us
00:32:42.680 to take a vaccine
00:32:43.400 to give us
00:32:44.020 antibodies that we
00:32:44.780 already have.
00:32:45.400 Which are stronger
00:32:46.240 which are known
00:32:47.120 to be stronger.
00:32:48.260 Yes and exactly
00:32:49.020 so at this
00:32:51.140 point hundreds
00:32:51.880 of millions of
00:32:52.980 people have had
00:32:54.120 this virus.
00:32:54.880 Hundreds of
00:32:55.400 millions right
00:32:56.560 it's not it's
00:32:57.260 not March 2020
00:32:58.200 anymore right
00:32:59.500 it's December
00:33:00.040 2021 and so
00:33:01.900 the unwillingness
00:33:03.060 to even talk
00:33:04.100 about that or
00:33:04.740 address this
00:33:05.120 to me I mean
00:33:06.180 there's a lot
00:33:06.600 of red flags
00:33:07.200 but that that's
00:33:08.880 just a huge
00:33:09.700 glaring red flag
00:33:10.880 and so look
00:33:11.960 when I view
00:33:12.480 this thing
00:33:12.980 through the lens
00:33:13.780 of health
00:33:14.740 and safety
00:33:15.380 and protecting
00:33:17.680 people from a
00:33:18.460 virus there's a
00:33:19.220 lot of things
00:33:19.940 that don't make
00:33:20.440 sense whether
00:33:21.280 you're talking
00:33:21.820 the denial of
00:33:22.540 natural immunity
00:33:23.200 or you're talking
00:33:24.180 about why someone
00:33:24.920 wants you to wear
00:33:25.540 a mask to enter
00:33:26.240 three steps into
00:33:27.280 a restaurant just
00:33:27.940 for you to take
00:33:28.420 it off again for
00:33:29.000 an hour which
00:33:29.640 by the way
00:33:30.140 they're doing
00:33:31.320 all over the
00:33:31.840 world without
00:33:32.380 question right
00:33:33.740 if you view it
00:33:34.420 through health and
00:33:34.860 safety it makes
00:33:35.340 no sense if you
00:33:36.480 view it through
00:33:37.120 like I said
00:33:37.660 before money
00:33:38.480 power and
00:33:39.200 control it all
00:33:40.560 makes sense right
00:33:41.700 because if you
00:33:42.280 deny if you're
00:33:43.280 trying to sell
00:33:43.640 as many shots
00:33:44.140 as possible
00:33:44.600 you're gonna go
00:33:45.800 for the kids
00:33:46.380 you're gonna go
00:33:46.840 for people who
00:33:47.300 have already
00:33:47.600 had it you're
00:33:48.420 gonna you're
00:33:49.040 gonna try to get
00:33:49.560 people on a
00:33:49.980 subscription model
00:33:50.700 you're going to
00:33:51.360 do whatever is
00:33:52.740 necessarily there
00:33:53.500 and that's to
00:33:54.480 me where it's
00:33:55.100 deeply unethical
00:33:55.920 you will suppress
00:33:56.880 and not want to
00:33:57.420 talk about other
00:33:58.380 treatments right
00:33:59.020 that's another
00:33:59.440 thing that's been
00:34:00.160 mind-blowing the
00:34:01.800 complete suppression
00:34:02.700 about other
00:34:03.920 treatments have
00:34:04.380 you noticed
00:34:04.640 that no one
00:34:05.260 talks about
00:34:05.620 treatment
00:34:06.020 right no
00:34:07.800 one no one
00:34:08.080 even talks about
00:34:08.720 treatment like
00:34:09.420 what do you do
00:34:09.820 if you do get
00:34:10.480 covid and you
00:34:11.420 want to recover
00:34:11.940 what do you do
00:34:13.180 right you have to
00:34:13.700 go search on you
00:34:15.080 know murky depths of
00:34:15.920 the internet to
00:34:16.860 find that out and
00:34:18.320 that's very very
00:34:20.580 unethical and it's
00:34:21.800 very concerning so
00:34:23.120 that's why someone
00:34:24.340 like me looks at
00:34:25.240 this and is like
00:34:26.160 look this is not
00:34:26.760 simply about health
00:34:27.840 and safety man you
00:34:29.120 can go on forever
00:34:30.000 have they talked
00:34:30.980 about vitamin d
00:34:31.700 have they talked
00:34:32.460 about zinc have
00:34:33.060 they talked about
00:34:33.480 losing body fat
00:34:34.380 have they talked
00:34:35.480 about going
00:34:36.060 outside and
00:34:36.680 getting sunlight
00:34:37.340 no here's the
00:34:38.300 thing it's been
00:34:38.680 two years man
00:34:39.500 we know this is
00:34:40.900 something that
00:34:41.400 mostly affects
00:34:41.960 people who are
00:34:42.540 overweight yep
00:34:43.280 you've had two
00:34:43.940 years in which
00:34:45.120 you could have
00:34:45.600 been telling
00:34:45.980 people lose
00:34:46.980 weight here's a
00:34:47.760 government program
00:34:48.620 to help you lose
00:34:49.400 weight here's some
00:34:50.020 money to encourage
00:34:51.060 you to lose weight
00:34:51.700 if this is about
00:34:52.600 health why don't
00:34:53.760 why don't we make
00:34:54.700 this about making
00:34:55.400 people healthy
00:34:56.160 and in fact they
00:34:57.380 did the opposite
00:34:58.220 they shut down the
00:34:59.640 gyms they stopped
00:35:00.820 you from going
00:35:01.380 outside they
00:35:02.860 closed the gyms
00:35:05.720 they opened
00:35:06.380 McDonald's and
00:35:07.280 KFC and all
00:35:09.060 of that so
00:35:09.540 they offered you
00:35:10.380 a free burger
00:35:10.980 with fries to go
00:35:11.720 and get vaccinated
00:35:12.380 so it's not even
00:35:13.620 just that it's like
00:35:14.620 they did the
00:35:15.120 opposite
00:35:15.760 and a scratch
00:35:16.980 card
00:35:17.240 yeah
00:35:17.500 that got you
00:35:18.760 excited
00:35:19.080 yeah it did
00:35:19.720 man the gambling
00:35:20.700 addict in me
00:35:21.380 what
00:35:21.700 yeah they've
00:35:22.940 done the opposite
00:35:24.080 and these are
00:35:25.000 low real low
00:35:25.860 hanging fruit
00:35:26.200 again why would
00:35:26.880 you deny vitamin
00:35:27.620 d majority of
00:35:29.060 people who died
00:35:29.500 with covid were
00:35:30.060 vitamin d
00:35:30.500 deficient right
00:35:31.760 do you remember
00:35:32.360 last year when
00:35:33.000 they were talking
00:35:33.460 about black
00:35:34.220 people being more
00:35:34.840 susceptible yeah
00:35:35.660 and they ran with
00:35:36.280 all the racism
00:35:36.800 narratives and stuff
00:35:37.600 and it's like black
00:35:38.500 people are more
00:35:38.920 likely to be
00:35:39.420 vitamin d deficient
00:35:40.300 and so in a
00:35:42.440 disease that is
00:35:44.180 particularly rough
00:35:45.240 for people who
00:35:45.700 are vitamin d
00:35:46.360 deficient and you
00:35:47.360 have a segment of
00:35:48.200 the population who
00:35:48.980 due to the melanin
00:35:49.960 content of their
00:35:50.640 skin like is more
00:35:52.500 likely to be vitamin
00:35:53.280 d deficient like if
00:35:54.460 you want to talk
00:35:54.920 about actual racism
00:35:56.080 not talking about
00:35:57.740 that is actual
00:35:59.440 racism right and
00:36:00.160 people are there
00:36:00.600 like acting like
00:36:01.400 this is basic
00:36:02.520 stuff as people
00:36:03.380 again as people
00:36:03.900 like to remind me
00:36:04.480 i'm not a doctor
00:36:05.240 so why am i the
00:36:06.500 one who knows
00:36:07.140 this basic
00:36:07.760 information and
00:36:09.560 is willing to put
00:36:10.220 it out there i was
00:36:10.920 talking about vitamin
00:36:11.540 d back in like
00:36:12.540 april 2020 because
00:36:13.880 i myself just every
00:36:14.840 winter need to
00:36:16.000 supplement with it or
00:36:16.880 i'm more likely to
00:36:17.540 get sick even with
00:36:18.260 colds etc and i just
00:36:19.760 don't feel very well
00:36:20.680 so it's and it's
00:36:21.760 cheap and but that's
00:36:22.860 the problem right
00:36:23.480 there's no there's
00:36:24.040 no money to be made
00:36:24.980 from it so i think
00:36:26.720 that we have
00:36:28.020 seen profit and
00:36:30.560 the desire for
00:36:31.280 power and for
00:36:32.180 control being put
00:36:33.780 upon being put
00:36:34.840 over human lives
00:36:36.340 and and human
00:36:36.980 well-being which is
00:36:38.200 why i find it
00:36:38.920 extraordinarily funny
00:36:40.860 but also kind of
00:36:41.900 tragic when people
00:36:43.380 look at someone like
00:36:44.500 myself or maybe
00:36:45.320 someone like
00:36:45.720 yourselves who are
00:36:46.860 critical of some of
00:36:47.900 the policies due to
00:36:48.860 the downstream
00:36:50.100 repercussions of
00:36:51.160 them and people
00:36:52.540 accuse us of being
00:36:53.820 people who are
00:36:54.340 selfish or we don't
00:36:55.220 care about lives
00:36:55.940 we don't care about
00:36:56.340 it's like no like
00:36:58.200 that's not the
00:36:58.860 situation and the
00:36:59.620 people who have been
00:37:00.260 really trying to ram
00:37:01.160 all these policies one
00:37:02.160 thing i noticed they
00:37:02.840 have in common is that
00:37:04.060 they're hardly affected
00:37:04.860 by them and that
00:37:06.340 they've been getting
00:37:06.840 paid all the way
00:37:07.740 through is anyone in
00:37:08.500 the media has any
00:37:09.200 politician taken a pay
00:37:10.280 cut during all of
00:37:11.520 these lockdowns and
00:37:12.980 all these stay-at-home
00:37:13.640 more to know they've
00:37:14.360 been earning their
00:37:14.920 money as usual they've
00:37:16.500 been flaunting many of
00:37:18.020 the rules themselves they
00:37:20.280 have not they've
00:37:21.220 suffered some of the
00:37:21.900 least from it so it's
00:37:23.740 the thing that i always
00:37:25.820 find worrying is the
00:37:26.840 effect it has had on
00:37:27.840 small businesses the
00:37:28.820 amount of small
00:37:29.480 businesses that have
00:37:30.320 shut as a result of
00:37:31.520 these lockdowns the
00:37:32.800 amount of businesses
00:37:33.700 that have gone to the
00:37:34.700 wall which then leaves a
00:37:35.720 gap in the economy
00:37:37.080 which is going to be
00:37:37.800 filled by what
00:37:38.820 huge yeah huge
00:37:41.000 multinational
00:37:41.680 conglomerates yeah
00:37:42.980 absolutely hasn't
00:37:43.800 blackrock been buying
00:37:44.980 up all these uh
00:37:45.960 derelict empty
00:37:47.280 properties i believe i
00:37:49.040 believe someone might
00:37:49.740 want to verify this i
00:37:50.640 believe that 70% of
00:37:52.000 restaurants in cali in
00:37:53.140 uh is it california or
00:37:54.820 los angeles specifically
00:37:56.220 have um shut down
00:37:57.920 yeah well see i want to
00:37:59.560 address something because
00:38:00.520 as we're doing interviews
00:38:01.700 nowadays because of the
00:38:02.980 world we live in i have
00:38:03.920 this sort of like low
00:38:05.040 iq voice filter where i
00:38:06.560 just imagine what a
00:38:07.440 stupid person would would
00:38:08.540 hear out of what we're
00:38:09.580 saying okay so we
00:38:10.880 should address this i
00:38:12.780 imagine because this is
00:38:14.540 how i think about it and
00:38:15.900 i imagine you'd agree
00:38:16.840 with me that the reason
00:38:18.160 you're talking about the
00:38:19.160 profit motive power and all
00:38:21.000 of this is not because
00:38:22.320 you think some people
00:38:23.940 got together in a
00:38:24.800 smoke-filled room with
00:38:25.800 cigars and went you know
00:38:27.100 what guys we're going to
00:38:28.260 make billions we're going
00:38:29.320 to create a pandemic and
00:38:31.060 then we're going to take
00:38:31.880 advantage of it and then
00:38:32.960 this and that i just think
00:38:34.060 what happens is when people
00:38:35.820 have incentives i i believe
00:38:37.880 this is how the world
00:38:38.580 works people respond to
00:38:40.380 incentives so if you're
00:38:41.480 making a product like a
00:38:42.580 vaccine the the motivation
00:38:44.480 for that is undoubtedly to
00:38:46.020 save lives in my opinion
00:38:47.140 they they came up with this
00:38:48.760 thing to help people that's
00:38:50.300 what the pharmaceutical
00:38:51.180 companies did but now that
00:38:53.020 you've made it and you're
00:38:54.520 saving lives well of course
00:38:55.900 you want to save as many
00:38:56.820 lives as possible and the
00:38:58.240 fact that it seems to be
00:38:59.240 making you more money well
00:39:00.820 great because you're saving
00:39:01.940 that's a reflection of how
00:39:03.080 many lives you're saving and
00:39:04.140 that's the sort of
00:39:05.120 calculations people make and
00:39:06.440 politicians are the same
00:39:07.460 you know we are saving
00:39:09.660 lives so we need more power
00:39:11.340 so we can save more lives
00:39:12.440 they're not they're not
00:39:13.320 sitting there thinking with
00:39:14.360 some kind of evil intent i
00:39:15.740 don't think i don't know
00:39:16.780 you don't know i think it
00:39:18.300 depends on who you're
00:39:18.980 talking about i think
00:39:19.760 every individual is
00:39:20.660 different i think that
00:39:22.000 there are many people who
00:39:22.900 have malicious intent or
00:39:24.520 extremely what makes you
00:39:25.340 say that zuby because
00:39:26.660 that's human beings there
00:39:28.240 are bad people bad people
00:39:29.880 exist right not everyone
00:39:31.940 and as a good-natured you
00:39:34.440 know decently moral person
00:39:36.260 it's extraordinarily hard to
00:39:38.480 kind of accept that there
00:39:40.980 are bad people with bad
00:39:42.940 intentions out there for
00:39:44.740 example if you are if you
00:39:46.520 are a sane reasonable
00:39:48.080 decent person you cannot
00:39:49.940 get into the mind of a
00:39:51.060 serial killer you can't do
00:39:52.300 it because it's so far
00:39:54.100 removed you might be able
00:39:55.060 to say i don't know a
00:39:57.140 terrorist or someone who
00:39:58.060 kills for some type of
00:39:59.060 cause as much as you
00:40:00.360 disagree with it and
00:40:01.240 condemn it you can
00:40:02.360 understand you might be
00:40:04.060 able to with a high degree
00:40:05.100 of empathy understand
00:40:06.520 their thinking but someone
00:40:08.540 who's just a psychopathic
00:40:09.580 serial killer you cannot
00:40:10.980 because they're just bad
00:40:14.020 right they're just
00:40:14.920 malicious and so and i
00:40:16.560 think that when you move
00:40:17.520 into higher certain areas
00:40:20.400 you get a higher percentage
00:40:22.100 of psychopaths right i do
00:40:24.160 believe that in politics i
00:40:25.660 do believe that very high up
00:40:27.880 in certain corporations
00:40:28.640 etc you're going to get
00:40:29.660 more people who have
00:40:32.200 psychopathic tendencies do i
00:40:33.940 think that's the majority
00:40:34.780 no i don't think it's the
00:40:36.900 majority but i do think
00:40:38.680 that there are people out
00:40:39.900 there who genuinely do not
00:40:42.360 give a crap about human
00:40:43.260 life they do not care
00:40:44.200 about your well-being they
00:40:45.380 do not care about your
00:40:46.140 health they do not care
00:40:46.840 about you in the slightest
00:40:48.220 they care about power they
00:40:50.220 care about money and we've
00:40:51.220 seen these figures
00:40:51.740 throughout history they
00:40:52.540 exist they're real people
00:40:53.500 all right we can we can
00:40:55.500 name them right these are
00:40:56.740 people and they've often
00:40:57.860 reached the highest
00:40:59.240 positions of power right
00:41:01.740 you know hitler was a bad
00:41:03.840 dude stalin bad dude
00:41:05.140 mussolini now bad dude
00:41:07.200 math no yeah like so of
00:41:09.160 course they're gonna guise
00:41:10.360 it as this is some greater
00:41:11.920 good and this is for your
00:41:13.920 health and this is your
00:41:14.640 well-being you know saddam
00:41:16.140 hussein right like there
00:41:16.960 there are bad people who do
00:41:18.940 exist um and so i think
00:41:21.520 that we have to acknowledge
00:41:23.100 that and then i think
00:41:24.160 outside of that most people
00:41:27.220 it's simply like you said
00:41:29.620 it's it's simply incentives
00:41:31.100 and i think that it's i
00:41:32.840 believe that most to to to
00:41:35.360 on on the contrary of what i
00:41:37.720 just said i do believe that
00:41:39.380 most people have good
00:41:40.080 intentions right so i'm not
00:41:42.000 saying that oh everyone is
00:41:43.340 trying to you know i think
00:41:44.420 most people have good
00:41:45.200 intentions but people can be
00:41:47.240 misled people can be led
00:41:49.120 by um ideology people can be
00:41:51.960 led by just social pressures
00:41:54.040 and the desire to conform
00:41:55.600 people can just be led by um
00:41:57.160 threat of punishment right
00:41:58.980 fear people people are acting
00:42:00.500 in fear right you've got
00:42:01.840 people look i mean i'd love
00:42:03.380 to know again talk about the
00:42:05.520 sacred cow i would be
00:42:06.620 interested to see how many
00:42:08.400 people took these shots
00:42:10.220 because they specifically
00:42:12.220 truly thought it was the
00:42:13.360 best thing for them help for
00:42:14.300 their for their health and
00:42:15.140 their well-being versus how
00:42:16.580 many people took it due to
00:42:18.360 pressure and coercion or
00:42:20.320 wanting to visit family
00:42:21.540 abroad or whatever yeah i i
00:42:23.980 wouldn't classify that i'd
00:42:25.680 call that i'd call that
00:42:26.400 pressure i'd put that
00:42:27.020 yeah that's what i mean
00:42:28.420 yeah i'd put that in the
00:42:29.160 latter category it would be
00:42:29.940 interesting to to see i think
00:42:31.540 again i think early on look
00:42:33.820 if if people didn't want me
00:42:35.480 to be skeptical about us it
00:42:36.960 what would have made sense is
00:42:38.220 if they just you know rolled
00:42:40.120 the rolled these out and
00:42:41.360 pushed not mandated it pushed
00:42:42.940 and promoted it towards people
00:42:44.200 over 60 especially those with
00:42:45.620 comorbidities and perhaps um
00:42:47.640 under 60 with comorbidities and
00:42:50.320 strongly recommended it and
00:42:52.460 then chilled out i think that
00:42:55.460 would make a lot of people way
00:42:57.760 less skeptical of the whole
00:42:59.600 thing now it's like whoa you're
00:43:00.820 gunning at the five-year-olds now
00:43:02.340 has has a single healthy
00:43:04.520 five-year-old anywhere in the
00:43:05.900 world died of this virus i'm
00:43:07.540 not aware of a single child
00:43:08.800 healthy child i'm not aware of
00:43:10.540 a single otherwise healthy
00:43:11.420 child anywhere in the world
00:43:12.380 who's died of this particular
00:43:13.160 virus i'm not saying it
00:43:14.320 hasn't happened i'm not aware
00:43:15.300 of one haven't heard haven't
00:43:16.800 heard a single story not one
00:43:18.460 not one so what are we what
00:43:22.120 what are you doing because this
00:43:23.920 is a very age stratified
00:43:25.060 disease we've known this from
00:43:26.640 very very early if you're 75
00:43:28.560 years old with comorbidities
00:43:29.800 versus you're 10 years old with
00:43:31.700 no comorbidities to treat it
00:43:33.660 like it's the same is insane
00:43:36.560 this goes with all the measures
00:43:37.960 all the policies to treat it
00:43:39.580 like it's the same is crazy and
00:43:41.800 then also the whole thing of
00:43:43.260 the we know people now we now
00:43:45.900 know this whether someone's got
00:43:47.180 the vax or not firstly they can
00:43:49.140 both get covered secondly they've
00:43:51.680 shown they've got the same viral
00:43:52.960 viral load you can still get it
00:43:54.280 you can you can still spread it
00:43:55.260 to other people so on so this
00:43:56.920 whole notion of doing it to
00:43:59.200 protect others doesn't even make
00:44:01.480 sense but people just keep
00:44:02.420 repeating it because they hear
00:44:03.320 the word vaccine and they equate
00:44:04.920 them all if you're talking about
00:44:06.340 a sterilizing vaccine there's a
00:44:07.680 strong argument that of course
00:44:08.740 okay if it blocks transmission
00:44:09.860 then you cannot give it to
00:44:11.800 someone else so it has that
00:44:12.680 effect if it doesn't do that
00:44:14.260 it's so-called leaky vaccine as
00:44:15.920 scientists call it then it
00:44:18.000 protects you and there's nothing
00:44:18.940 wrong with protecting yourself if
00:44:20.200 I every time I take a medicine
00:44:21.380 it's totally selfish decision I've
00:44:23.320 never I don't take medicines for
00:44:24.400 other people I take medicine
00:44:26.960 because I'm feeling sick and
00:44:28.940 there's nothing wrong with that
00:44:29.900 right there's nothing wrong with
00:44:31.240 selfish is one of those words
00:44:32.960 that's kind of funny because it's
00:44:34.360 automatically assumed as
00:44:35.340 negative but it simply means that
00:44:37.140 you're doing something for
00:44:38.240 yourself and to protect yourself
00:44:39.780 if I'm riding a bike and I put a
00:44:41.300 helmet on that's a selfish
00:44:42.500 decision it's to protect my head
00:44:43.900 it's not to protect anybody else
00:44:45.940 but I think that you know people
00:44:48.420 want to go with this sort of hero
00:44:49.900 and communitarian narrative even
00:44:52.520 when it doesn't really make sense
00:44:54.020 there's nothing wrong with
00:44:54.820 taking it if you're unwell if
00:44:56.240 you're hey I'm 70 you know
00:44:57.900 someone's 70 and they're diabetic
00:44:59.420 and they're in rough shape and
00:45:01.040 COVID is a genuine threat to
00:45:02.380 them and they're taking the shot
00:45:03.780 to protect them God bless you
00:45:05.420 there's absolutely absolutely
00:45:06.780 nothing wrong with that and I
00:45:07.840 1000% support your right to do
00:45:09.920 it my only issue with this whole
00:45:12.880 thing has been the coercion the
00:45:15.300 force the bullying the shaming
00:45:17.080 setting people against each other all
00:45:19.400 of that it's unnecessary it's
00:45:21.040 counterproductive and there's the
00:45:22.480 other element of it which is a
00:45:23.720 censoring of freedom of speech
00:45:25.000 which they do online particularly
00:45:26.860 there are big tech overlords
00:45:28.520 whereby if you talk about these
00:45:30.440 subjects yeah prime example if you
00:45:32.760 talked a year ago that maybe the
00:45:35.380 virus might have been created in a
00:45:36.920 lab in Wuhan and then was leaked
00:45:38.420 accidentally you would get your
00:45:40.960 content taken down absolutely and
00:45:43.120 and now it's the most credible
00:45:45.300 version of events I mean it always
00:45:47.120 was it always was but this is the this
00:45:53.040 is the issue and look I'm just
00:45:55.080 interested in the truth I don't I
00:45:56.880 don't have an agenda right I don't
00:45:58.820 have an agenda beyond wanting myself
00:46:02.000 and people to be free and be able to
00:46:05.100 live their lives and run their
00:46:06.200 businesses and go to work and you know
00:46:08.680 not be forced to do this and that
00:46:10.700 that's that's my only agenda if you
00:46:12.460 even want to call it that I just want
00:46:13.700 life to be like it was I think people
00:46:15.760 thought January 2020 was a was a bad
00:46:17.720 time but I think we'd happily go back
00:46:20.200 to that that's literally all that I
00:46:23.100 advocate for I'm for freedom of
00:46:24.700 choice I'm for liberty I'm for you know
00:46:27.400 people just being allowed to have their
00:46:29.100 independence and their civil liberties
00:46:30.900 and it's it's that simple for me
00:46:34.560 hey Constantine do you like Christmas
00:46:39.400 no in USSR we cancelled Christmas and we
00:46:42.620 had Lenin fest instead what's that we
00:46:44.960 celebrated glorious leader and rewrote
00:46:47.280 story of Jesus to make it better really
00:46:49.860 yes in our story three wise men were
00:46:52.360 killed and gifts meant for Jesus
00:46:54.060 redistributed to glorious workers of the
00:46:56.700 Soviet Union Jesus was put on gulag for
00:46:59.320 having wrong opinion as we call it in
00:47:01.200 Russia happy ending right well if you do
00:47:04.800 want to celebrate the festive season
00:47:06.560 then there's only one way to do it

00:47:16.860 yes it is discussion with one of our
00:47:19.020 favorite guests Aisha Akanbi she's
00:47:21.800 almost as good philosopher as Vladimir
00:47:24.000 Lenin yeah exactly our two previous
00:47:28.000 show sold out completely and this one
00:47:30.880 will as well grab your ticket now before
00:47:33.640 it's too late click on link below during
00:47:36.760 interval there will be special
00:47:38.200 entertainment I will ride bear with my
00:47:40.900 shirt off I didn't realize we were going
00:47:42.860 for that demographic mate oh yes we are
00:47:45.720 ex well you talk about civil liberties and
00:47:50.020 I initially was very in favor of
00:47:53.300 everything that was being done because I
00:47:54.960 was like we don't know what's going on
00:47:56.180 if if the scientists or the doctors are
00:47:58.800 telling us the lockdown is is what
00:48:00.460 flattens the curve let I'm happy to go
00:48:02.940 along with that I wore masks for a period
00:48:04.940 of time but we've got to a point now and
00:48:07.340 and I'm going to preface this with an
00:48:08.900 identity politics point just to soften the
00:48:11.500 blow for people but my Jewish great
00:48:13.700 grandfather died on the Eastern Front
00:48:15.260 fighting against fascism right and I'm
00:48:17.980 not saying where we are now in Austria and
00:48:20.400 Germany mandating vaccines is the same as
00:48:22.720 Nazism I'm not saying it's Auschwitz I'm
00:48:24.740 not saying any of that but what I'm
00:48:26.620 saying is some people came together in
00:48:28.300 1945 and what you know one thing that we
00:48:30.360 really shouldn't do is force people to
00:48:32.980 take medical procedures that they don't
00:48:34.620 want right and we seem to have just very
00:48:38.840 casually just walked across that line in
00:48:42.400 several countries now where it's just
00:48:44.960 like being talked about and as it was
00:48:47.480 fascism the majority of the public support
00:48:49.180 it exactly but this is the thing see
00:48:51.540 something that's been really annoying
00:48:52.600 with this especially coming from people
00:48:54.280 who spent the past four years calling
00:48:57.080 you know the Trump Hitler and everyone
00:49:00.080 who voted for Brexit and Nazi or whatever
00:49:01.340 isn't that they're now saying that oh
00:49:02.540 you're not allowed to compare anything to
00:49:04.500 to Nazi Germany or to even you know
00:49:06.640 Stalinist Russia etc and you know number
00:49:10.280 one I just reject that like if you cannot
00:49:12.680 make comparisons then what's the point of
00:49:16.180 knowing that history if you're not allowed
00:49:19.080 to point out when there are certain
00:49:21.360 things that are echoing it no one is
00:49:24.160 directly comparing this to the Holocaust
00:49:26.500 itself as in the extermination of Jewish
00:49:29.400 people but if you are looking at the
00:49:31.760 Nazi Germany didn't begin with the
00:49:33.720 Holocaust right if you're looking at the
00:49:35.260 discrimination and segregation and
00:49:37.880 mistreatment and the use of state and
00:49:40.060 the use of the media to turn people
00:49:42.220 against certain segments of the
00:49:43.660 population you can absolutely compare it
00:49:45.700 you can compare it to what happened in
00:49:47.180 Rwanda in 1994 I've heard from friends
00:49:50.240 in Germany and Austria that their media
00:49:51.940 is really really demonizing people who
00:49:55.140 haven't taken the shot like they're you
00:49:57.000 know people are actually making charges of
00:49:58.220 hate speech against actual media channels
00:50:00.260 because they're going that intensely with
00:50:02.780 their rhetoric and it's just like stop
00:50:05.700 stop and not only is is what you're
00:50:09.140 firstly what you're saying it's not it's
00:50:11.020 not even logically coherent it doesn't
00:50:12.780 make any logical sense because again
00:50:15.460 these are not sterilizing vaccines right
00:50:18.740 they had to change the definition of
00:50:20.020 vaccine in fact for this to even fit into
00:50:21.720 them that's why I typically call them
00:50:22.880 jabs or injections it's not your neighbor
00:50:25.560 who is your enemy or who's spread it
00:50:28.800 doesn't make any sense you can look at
00:50:30.460 places like Ireland Gibraltar Israel where
00:50:33.740 they've got super high vax rates and
00:50:35.460 they're still getting all these
00:50:36.520 infections and so on it doesn't it
00:50:39.180 doesn't make sense and also you know I
00:50:41.820 think people need to I think people need
00:50:44.340 to really just exhale and chill out you
00:50:48.540 know what I mean I think it's been it's
00:50:50.440 been two years it's been 600 plus days of
00:50:53.260 fear and propaganda and narrative and
00:50:56.560 media and this and this and just just
00:50:59.220 hammering people non-stop and I think that
00:51:02.420 people do for the most part want to get out
00:51:06.700 of it but when you demoralize people and
00:51:10.260 you break their spirit and you make them
00:51:12.660 feel like I will do you put them in a
00:51:15.360 desperate situation where it's like okay I
00:51:17.220 will do anything even if it's unethical
00:51:20.400 even if it means breaking up my family or my
00:51:24.020 friendship groups or my relationship with
00:51:26.160 my countrymen etc if this gets us out of
00:51:28.580 it let's do it and again we've seen this
00:51:31.560 throughout history right that's part of you
00:51:34.360 know Nazi Germany didn't start in a vacuum
00:51:36.160 it started post World War One things were
00:51:39.260 very desperate the economy was and you know
00:51:41.760 someone came with a message and I imagine
00:51:44.600 I wasn't around but I imagine a lot of the
00:51:46.620 Germans didn't like some of the anti-semitic
00:51:49.640 rhetoric and the stuff like that but the
00:51:51.840 other stuff they were kind of on board
00:51:53.260 with so they were like yeah you know I'll
00:51:55.400 hold my nose and go with this guy even
00:51:58.220 though he seems a little bit weird on this
00:52:01.040 and then again over time the the slow yeah
00:52:05.340 the slow escalation and you know all of
00:52:07.580 that frustration and anger can be directed
00:52:09.780 towards this people and and look I think
00:52:12.580 the point is not to be I want to be very
00:52:16.900 clear I'm not trying to be disrespectful to
00:52:19.340 anybody who actually has family members
00:52:23.540 ancestors who suffered under these I'm not
00:52:26.000 trying to minimize anything here I'm simply
00:52:28.840 saying that history doesn't repeat but it
00:52:31.880 rhymes it echoes and human beings have not
00:52:34.660 fundamentally changed over this time period
00:52:37.740 so humans and this is a really dark thing
00:52:40.360 but it's real people are still capable of all
00:52:43.660 all the awful things that have happened in
00:52:45.020 history human beings are still capable of
00:52:47.520 them so when we start trending in these
00:52:50.460 negative directions I think it's important
00:52:52.220 to call it out to nip it in the bud and say
00:52:54.820 look guys no segregation bad right we've we've
00:52:59.320 done this before we've done Jim Crow in
00:53:01.240 America apartheid in South Africa there are
00:53:05.020 other examples we've done this before where
00:53:07.440 we say this group of the population is not
00:53:10.520 allowed to enter here or does not have the
00:53:13.040 same rights of these people that's been done
00:53:15.100 before a lot it's not it's not a good idea
00:53:18.240 ultimately it ends in violence it ends in
00:53:21.520 blood's bloodshed it's it's it's not good and
00:53:24.960 we can totally avoid this and doing this for
00:53:27.320 a virus with a 99.9 percent plus survival rate
00:53:30.160 in most of the population extra silly right
00:53:33.760 extra stupid right if we were dealing with
00:53:37.360 some great plague level event still bad but it
00:53:42.340 would at least be like okay I can really
00:53:44.180 understand why people are so you wouldn't
00:53:46.580 need to do it Zuby if this was a virus with a
00:53:49.340 40 percent survival rate everybody would take
00:53:51.560 any sort of vaccine that was offered you
00:53:53.440 wouldn't need to do this you wouldn't have
00:53:55.080 the only reason you need the authoritarianism is
00:53:57.140 that a lot of people realize this virus is
00:53:58.880 mostly not dangerous to them exactly and this
00:54:01.000 is the thing two years in again I give people a
00:54:04.020 lot of grace right so I'm someone who from
00:54:06.040 very early I saw stuff being weird earlier than
00:54:09.020 most people but I told I can I can clearly
00:54:11.280 remember February and March last year right so
00:54:14.140 I can understand the fear in their spot but as
00:54:17.240 you get as you get more inputs you get more
00:54:19.120 information you get more data you your
00:54:21.240 position should change and I think that's
00:54:24.300 happened with a lot of people there's a lot
00:54:25.460 of people who you know were whoa okay at the
00:54:27.240 beginning I was really freaked out but you
00:54:28.400 know by summer I was like okay wait I'm not
00:54:30.780 seeing everybody dying around me I'm not
00:54:32.860 seeing bodies in the street I'm not seeing
00:54:35.140 you know I haven't lived through like a
00:54:37.620 super scary mega deadly pandemic I mean but
00:54:40.660 from what I understand of ones in history
00:54:42.300 it's like okay you there's no you don't need
00:54:44.480 advertising you don't need PR you know you
00:54:47.100 don't need to try to scare people you know
00:54:49.240 you you actually need to try to calm people
00:54:51.580 down because they're so fearful just from what
00:54:54.200 they're seeing with their own eyes but for
00:54:56.400 most people it's like okay you've been we're
00:54:59.920 two years into this and you're you can you
00:55:02.980 know you can have in your head that this is
00:55:04.660 whatever you've led to believe it in your head
00:55:06.560 but your eyes are not feeding this information
00:55:11.520 to you right you're not you're you're not
00:55:15.800 really living in reality here so I think with
00:55:18.360 a lot of people now they have this kind of
00:55:19.700 schism between what they want to believe I
00:55:22.520 think I think this is also why and I made
00:55:25.840 this point before this is the first virus in
00:55:28.220 history where people want it to be worse than
00:55:30.920 it is which is really interesting people want it
00:55:34.180 to be worse than it is because that would confirm
00:55:36.820 their worldview and it would validate their
00:55:39.420 behavior for the past two years right because
00:55:42.180 otherwise they just look like a crazy person
00:55:43.900 and I think that's why you know when maybe one
00:55:47.360 of us make certain comments it angers people
00:55:50.320 or when you give people actual stats right of
00:55:53.900 survivability or it not being a big threat to
00:55:56.860 children and so on people actually get angry
00:55:59.680 because you are causing the schism in their
00:56:04.160 brain where they are acting as if they're living
00:56:06.620 through the black death and then you're like
00:56:08.520 man you know for most people it's kind of like
00:56:10.280 a flu there is one we interviewed a doctor
00:56:13.960 called dr john white who made the point that
00:56:16.740 we don't actually know the long-term effects of
00:56:19.640 the virus okay so that's a one place where you
00:56:22.100 could say maybe we should try and reduce
00:56:24.600 transmission as much as possible because we
00:56:26.540 don't know the long-term effects here's my thing
00:56:28.960 man everyone everyone's gonna get it almost
00:56:31.340 everyone's gonna get it and I assume this from
00:56:34.200 the very beginning it's a coronavirus it's like
00:56:36.260 trying to live your entire life never getting a
00:56:38.020 cold or flu you can't do it it just doesn't
00:56:40.560 work it's always mutating there's so many
00:56:43.780 vectors both human and animal vectors and it's
00:56:47.080 it's just there so you've had covet yep you've
00:56:50.340 had covet I've had covet it's only been two
00:56:52.660 years we've all three all three of us have
00:56:58.260 of already have already had it right so it's
00:57:01.480 going to get to most people that's that's just
00:57:04.080 the reality of it and so that's why I think with
00:57:07.480 what they're doing in places like Australia and
00:57:09.320 New Zealand is particularly nearsighted because
00:57:12.500 right now sure maybe their their COVID death numbers
00:57:16.380 might look good now but does anyone there have
00:57:18.160 natural immunity right well I guess their argument
00:57:21.560 is if if they can keep any outsiders out long
00:57:25.180 enough they can vaccinate everybody and then
00:57:28.140 everybody's got some immunity against COVID and
00:57:30.420 that way you reduce the deaths from COVID maybe you
00:57:34.140 reduce the deaths from maybe maybe that would
00:57:37.460 depend greatly on the efficacy of the vaccines
00:57:41.120 especially with more and more variants coming out
00:57:42.960 etc but again it comes back to our point of like okay
00:57:47.000 well what are what about all the other damage caused by it
00:57:50.040 right so so so so that's the thing and you know it's a
00:57:52.820 balance and again throughout all of this thing one
00:57:55.320 one thing that I've been very in favor of is simply
00:57:58.860 discussion right why the amount of doctors and
00:58:02.480 scientists that have been silenced or censored or
00:58:05.960 pushed to the side or just everyday people all of
00:58:09.080 this all this conversation we're having some of these
00:58:11.600 questions we're asking I don't know the answer to
00:58:13.700 everything I'm just asking I'm asking a lot of
00:58:15.600 questions and coming up with ideas and someone might
00:58:17.520 say oh well what about this what about that this this
00:58:20.120 should have just been how it was all the way through
00:58:22.940 from the beginning because again you have to remember
00:58:25.280 the models that they started how many deaths did they
00:58:26.960 predict in the UK was it half a million it was hard if
00:58:30.060 if if nothing was done if no restrictions were put in half
00:58:33.320 a million was gonna die yeah half a million to a million
00:58:35.280 US they predicted three to four million okay um that was
00:58:41.440 off right that was that was off and you know someone might
00:58:45.280 say oh well it's because it's because we did the
00:58:46.980 measures you don't know it's always hard to you know we
00:58:49.640 don't we don't really have the counter I mean I personally
00:58:51.560 would argue the vaccines have definitely reduced the
00:58:53.700 number of people have died I'm look I'm I think I'm not I'm
00:58:57.280 not against I'm not against any vaccination right I think
00:59:00.680 having as many options as possible vaccinations various
00:59:04.440 types of treatments etc it should all be it should all be
00:59:07.260 available right I don't I don't have the arrogance to
00:59:10.180 assume that I know the best thing for absolutely everyone or
00:59:13.880 that I know everyone's medical history and all these
00:59:16.140 details about them again like I'm I'm 35 years years old I'm
00:59:19.680 in great shape I've already had COVID I've got strong uh I've
00:59:23.240 got strong natural naturally acquired immunity my position is
00:59:26.840 not the same as an 80 year old who hasn't had COVID and
00:59:30.800 perhaps has one or two comorbidities and it's not the same
00:59:34.540 as a 10 year old child who's just perfectly healthy and
00:59:37.600 bouncing around and happy so to treat all of these people with
00:59:42.000 the one size fits all is is crazy I mean you know I like I
00:59:46.540 like peanut butter but if I were to mandate peanut butter
00:59:49.660 that's genocide look at it look at his face he hates it okay yeah
00:59:53.200 but it won't kill you no but I hate it but but there are there are
01:00:00.460 millions of people that you can could be killed by a couple of
01:00:03.720 peanuts or peanut but so that that's just an example of you know the
01:00:06.880 human body is complicated man penicillin has saved tons of lives there's
01:00:11.380 people you can kill with penicillin absolutely right all different people
01:00:14.280 respond differently to different medicines different foods we've known
01:00:17.880 this forever that's not that's nothing controversial so that's again why when
01:00:22.580 it comes to things like mandates I'm like this is that's psychotic right
01:00:27.480 you're going to kill some people you are if you take a billion people and you
01:00:32.480 mandate anything any medical injury you you are going to kill some people and
01:00:37.680 that is why it must always remain a choice right that's why it must always
01:00:41.960 remain a choice I think that there are segments of the population and
01:00:45.360 demographics where totally totally makes sense for them it's reasonable even if I
01:00:49.840 don't think it makes sense for them or whatever if you're an adult hey that
01:00:53.340 that's that's your choice and then you assume the risk on both sides right there is
01:00:57.800 risk on both sides you assume it and that equation is not the same for
01:01:01.680 everybody my personal view I think that giving these injections to children is
01:01:06.520 psychotic I think I think it's reckless right because the risk of the disease is
01:01:13.380 close to zero in terms of severe disease let alone death it's close to zero we
01:01:18.440 know that we've got data from every country in the world for two years we know
01:01:21.260 that okay the effect of the of the jabs on them we don't we do not know we do not
01:01:28.340 know they're still in trial even for healthy adults up until 2022 2023 but for
01:01:34.140 kids we we simply do not know so for me in my personal opinion that doesn't not
01:01:39.300 make sense again they do not block the transmission so you can't even make the
01:01:43.440 argument that okay give it to kids to protect you shouldn't be using kids to
01:01:47.800 protect adults anyway well well exactly like we'll have to wrap up but the very
01:01:52.280 basic point you've made is there's risks to everything yes and if you're
01:01:55.580 mandating vaccines for children statistically speaking that is going to
01:02:00.140 have a negative impact and I'm just gonna I'm not going to go into the details of
01:02:03.280 it for YouTube purposes but it's going to have a negative impact on some of those
01:02:06.940 kids statistically speaking that's a fact yes if you mandated peanut butter for all
01:02:12.140 the children in the world some of them would die yes what do you think about it like I'm not
01:02:16.400 going to get into the details but that's a fact right so you how many it's that
01:02:20.340 philosophical question that we always talk about if you could save a million
01:02:23.340 people by killing one innocent child would you um that's that's that's the
01:02:28.440 conversation right I don't think that's the conversation don't you no no I think
01:02:33.040 that's a false analogy why because you're talking about a mandate but that's
01:02:38.820 exactly what I'm saying but what yeah yeah it is mandate will kill someone no but
01:02:43.580 what I'm saying is that without the mandate yeah look everyone who wanted the jab took
01:02:48.000 it without a mandate yeah fact yeah right everyone who wanted it took it beyond any
01:02:53.540 mandate or bizarre incentives or whatever and that's that's it that should be the
01:02:57.380 finish line everyone who wants it has had a chance to get it yeah what I'm saying is
01:03:01.300 I'm agreeing with you I think we're mishearing each other is if you mandate a vaccine for
01:03:06.220 children or if you mandate peanut butter for children if you mandate whatever for
01:03:09.860 children in order to protect other people because as you say we know children are not
01:03:14.840 vulnerable to the virus gotcha gotcha right if you are doing that you are in you are knowingly
01:03:20.400 saying we are going to hurt some some kids in order to protect some other people to me
01:03:26.760 that's immoral yeah that's immoral agreed and also it's and also it's not correct in this
01:03:31.360 case right because it's not a sterilizing vaccine yeah yeah before we do our last question
01:03:36.440 I want to ask you this question I know what the answer is going to be but I want to ask
01:03:41.200 you anyway Zuby do you think we're going to go back to and I hate this term inverted commas
01:03:47.160 the old normal yes but I think it depends on the people I think it's this ends when this
01:03:52.940 ends when people decide it does for individual both on an individual and a societal level it
01:03:57.580 ends when you end it and do you think we're going to end it depends on the country okay some
01:04:04.360 places never started some places I don't have much hope for okay so let's see what places do
01:04:10.100 you have hope for and which places do I hope hope for I have hope for virtually every republican
01:04:14.060 led state in the USA I have hope for much of Africa I have hope for much of South America
01:04:21.300 Europe has certain pockets which I have hope for but overall you many parts of Western Europe
01:04:31.320 Canada Australia and New Zealand I think people are have I think too many people are welcoming in the
01:04:39.960 new regime I think that if you are a liberty-minded person you should be doing your best to get out
01:04:45.660 of those countries that's my personal view it's actually been my view of the past year
01:04:48.560 Zuby we've got last question for you as always which is what's the one thing no one's talking about
01:04:54.580 oh yeah uh I think I went real controversial on the last one so funnily enough I think it's health
01:05:02.400 I think actual health I'm not just talking about masks and jabs I mean actual health I think it's been
01:05:10.820 a catastrophe that this time period has not been used to really talk about the obesity epidemic
01:05:19.080 and all of the health problems which have merely been magnified by the COVID situation
01:05:27.160 I think this would have been the perfect time to really sound this message especially in countries
01:05:31.900 like the UK and USA where obesity rates have just been been skyrocketing
01:05:36.660 I think that the lack of conversation about nutrition about exercise lifestyle changes
01:05:43.000 generally living a healthy life and looking after your own body and taking that individual
01:05:48.800 personal responsibility I think that's really been lacking I think it's been lacking for several
01:05:53.820 decades and yeah this would have been the perfect opportunity so I think not enough as much as people
01:05:59.860 are talking about health not enough people are truly talking about the full scope of health

01:12:36.900 thank you
01:13:06.900 thank you
01:13:08.900 okay so uh this is from resin pez why do nigerians seldom very rarely uh have a victim chip on the
01:13:16.320 shoulder and often refer to themselves as the americans of africa wow i'm not familiar with the
01:13:22.640 americans of africa part i'm not familiar with that term um in terms of absence of victim mindset i
01:13:28.120 i think number one i don't think there's any reason why we should specifically um and i mean that in in the truest sense as in
01:13:39.000 nigerians are not a group of people who specifically in history have been targeted or discriminated against or segregated say in the way the black americans absolutely were right just historical fact i think that's a factor and then i think beyond that i think the um
01:13:56.120 the um religiosity strong family ties um lots of focus around responsibility and education those things just being present in the culture and pretty well embedded from young people i think that's um i think that's the second main factor that makes sense and we'll go one more
01:14:26.120 um this is this is from rob and mike hawk uh who say what was the one thing or what were the incidents that made you think no that's not right and speak out as much as you do which i love by the way he says or she says
01:14:39.880 um just broadly generally speaking i think about this particular issue about the covid thing okay um i think i saw from early
01:14:49.000 uh i think it was the fact it was how unprecedented everything was right i mean diseases are not new viruses are not new we've even had some scares in our lifetime
01:15:03.160 uh mad cow disease bird flu um swine flu ebola zika virus there have been things that have sars hiv aids yes um i'm a little bit young for that but
01:15:16.760 i remember it vaguely so but what was different was the response we'd never had the masking policies and
01:15:25.800 everyone stay at home and everyone did like that to me was just set off alarm bells at the very beginning
01:15:32.840 and so i also saw down the line i practice a lot of you know second third fourth order thinking so i realized
01:15:40.280 the way if you if people give up these freedoms then it's really hard to get freedom back if you give
01:15:45.640 it up and i'm just aware of that so i thought from early we have to be very careful that the response
01:15:53.400 is not more deadly and harmful than the actual threat so i think that's why from the from very early on i
01:16:01.640 can just see the potential catastrophe just just like i think some people thought okay if this virus truly
01:16:07.800 does have a four percent mortality rate like they were suggesting in the beginning then you're
01:16:13.640 looking downstream and thinking whoa this is the catastrophe that could result thank god it was much
01:16:18.760 lower than that um and i believe that was the case from early so i thought wait this overreaction
01:16:25.480 is potentially going to cause more damage so that's why i started speaking out and kind of warning people
01:16:32.120 i guess of just where this could lead if people you know get get scared out of their wits rather than
01:16:38.840 into their wits
