[Music] hey
hey it's time yeah it's time it's time for coffee with scott adams and you lucky viewer you came to the right place at the right time unless you're watching this on replay in which case the delayed simultaneous sip some would call it the async or the sip but that's just them it's still just as good but you know you need something to get this going right it doesn't happen by itself no you can't do the simultaneous sip unless you have a cup or a margarine glass of tank or chalice or a canteen joker flask a vessel of any kind and fill it with your favorite liquid i'm partial to coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens right now go

[1:11]

that's some good sipping right there i hope it was good on your end too all right let's talk about all the stuff that's happening uh rasmussen poll is teasing us today and i think you'll get the official answer uh in an hour or so but they're maybe two hours uh it looks like the president's approval level is gonna be impressive i think you're gonna like it i can't tell you what it is but rasmussen says you're going to like it if you're a trump supporter all right um so the trump administration announced that they're going ahead with their uh their planned and scheduled turndown of the chinese app tick tock and also wechat i guess and this is they had already announced that if something didn't happen by this date which is sunday i guess that they'll just stop the downloads and start

[2:11]

start start blocking these apps now let me ask you this would joe biden have done this do you feel any chance that joe biden would have blocked a tick tock and i don't know if anybody's asked him so i asked on twitter has anybody asked joe biden would you block tick tock if you were president would you stop wechat i'd love to hear his answer on that because i think he'd have a little trouble answering it being being relatively more pro-china than than trump is you know and i gotta say
i've said this a number of times and every time you see another example of it it strengthens the point trump is bad at doing easy stuff easy stuff being anything that joe biden can do if joe biden is capable of doing it that would be in the category of easy stuff in other words showing up reading from a teleprompter and not uh

[3:13]

reading from a teleprompter and not uh and not getting everybody mad so trump likes to provoke people so he doesn't do the easy stuff well but the impossible stuff you know peace in the middle east uh shaking hands with uh kim jong-un you know moving out of uh china decoupling from china these are things which you would have thought were kind of impossible but he doesn't and i would say that this banning tick tock i actually can't even imagine another president doing it i can imagine another president complaining but i can't see anybody just you know whacking the most popular app among children in the united states and just saying you know yeah i know you love it i know you really like this kids and goodbye just just get rid of it i just love that it's so decisive it doesn't seem like it's real

[4:15]

all right um i've asked on twitter and waiting to see the responses who can give me the most persuasive data you know a source a link or something for
for whether masks work or don't work and i can't tell you how unhappy i am that i'm asking this question in september because this was sort of a january-ish february question right do masks work how is it we don't know that now now of course most of you are saying scott scott we do know that we do know that it's the most known thing in the world and then half of you will say yes we know it they work and then the other half of you are saying scott it's the most well-known thing in the world it's been debunked a thousand times it doesn't they don't work i would have thought by now that an independent-minded person at least as much as i can muster would be able to look at those

[5:17]

muster would be able to look at those two arguments and come to some kind of a conclusion based on the data i have my own opinion based on my own thinking but i should be able to look at the sources and say oh okay these are good ones these are bad ones or it's ambiguous or something but instead there's a little magic trick that people are doing to themselves to fool themselves it goes like this if you think you saw a lab
lab test that says masks don't work you didn't see anything you didn't see anything a lab cannot test whether these work for the coronavirus if you think a lab test which maybe shows that the virus is smaller than the holes in the mask or it shows that the air comes out the side if you think that kind of test tells you something you're really wrong those those are non-credible tests and here's my argument if i'm talking to you
you from let's say four feet away without a

[6:19]

from let's say four feet away without a mask my mouth cannon is shooting my virus directly at you in one stream so i'm basically just dosing you with virus if i have the virus compared to i'm wearing a mask that laboratory tests say hey those masks are letting stuff out the side is is the virus that i'm sending as a cannon directly into the mouth of the person i'm talking to because when you talk to somebody you literally face your mouth at their mouth right that's the most common way to talk to somebody face to face mouth to mouth are you telling me that the same amount of viral load because it does matter how much you get we're not talking about whether one virus gets through because it makes a big difference if you get a big viral load or a small one are you telling me the viral load is the same if it comes out the side as if i can and shoot it right into your

[7:21]

as if i can and shoot it right into your mouth if you can tell me that's true because you studied it in a laboratory i'm just going to say you don't know how things work you can't study that in the laboratory it's never been studied common sense tells you that friction works every time it's hard to imagine where friction doesn't work at least a little bit now i here here's the evidence that i would take to be reliable if you take any one country and say hey this one country either did or did not use masks and they did or did not get a good result useless completely useless all right one country doesn't tell you anything a bunch of countries if you could collect the basket of countries that had maybe a lot of other differences but the one thing they all had in common this basket was that they used masks and they were really dedicated about it

[8:21]

really dedicated about it could you compare that to the people who had lots of other things that are different but the one thing that was common is they didn't use masks just see how they did i would consider that beginning to be credible if you can't show me that link you're not in the conversation and i'm not in the conversation either because i've never seen that evidence of all the the dumbass graphs and bad statistics and stupid data that i've seen on twitter and it's a lot why have i never once not even once seen anybody present something that said here are the countries that use masks well here are the ones that didn't how they do compared to each other why have i never seen that isn't that the most important piece of data and and nobody can collect that data it's the most obvious thing
somebody says there's no canon coming into their mouth well maybe there is you just don't know

[9:22]

well maybe there is you just don't know it
it so um this uh this old mask thing really shows how bad humans are at understanding anything logical or rational and i'm telling you i don't understand you know i've got this gigantic hole but i feel like we all do all right uh let me give you an update on my smart democrat friend i give you updates as i every day we go back and forth and i'm chipping away at him to try to make his trump derangement syndrome a little bit less and i have successfully moved him from the following position where he used to say
say trump is a big old serial liar he lies he lies and lies and that's why i like joe biden because he's not like that so every time joe biden lies and according to joel pollock he counted uh
uh in i guess in the town hall last night there was one answer just one answer that biden gave

[10:25]

answer just one answer that biden gave which included five lies in one answer
so so biden is sort of like a gatling gun of lies at this point because you know all of his campaign ads are lies he just did a public service thing where he
he spread the fine people hoax again to to a jewish audience i mean just the worst thing you could possibly do as a human it's not even just the worst thing you could do as a candidate what joe biden is doing by spreading the fine people hoax is one of the worst things you could do as a human just as a human there's nothing that trump has ever done that's in that class and trump's done some doozies right trump's insulted some people you know you know the list right nobody is unaware of what trump's alleged and actual offenses are but biden i mean that's the worst thing i've ever seen in public i've never seen any public figure

[11:28]

i've never seen any public figure uh look let me think about this we'll just say presidents name any president who's done something worse than spread the fine people hoax repeatedly during during a time when the country is divided um you know you'd say oh what about nixon and watergate and i would say not even close not even close uh carl bernstein can you go over here no i guess you don't work on this side he only does he only does it when it's bad for trump but if you were being even a little bit objective watergate was sort of you know a bad thing that maybe had no real impact on the country in the end except for the the president left but the impact of the fine people oaks is it's like pouring acid on a baby it's just the worst thing you could ever imagine can you get that get that image out of your head um so i've convinced my smart democrat friend that his original position that biden

[12:30]

that his original position that biden was a truth teller roughly speaking and trump was a big old liar is closer to two people in a political contest they're just both lying all the time all right if you want to tell me that trump only tells the truth and his campaign ads i would say well i don't think you know what a campaign ad is
is a campaign ad in 2020 doesn't try to tell the truth that's not even that's not even slightly you know on the table as something anybody needs to do and it's not just the president it's just anybody running for office so apparently as long as it's legal to lie
lie in a campaign ad people have figured out it's just easier to shade the truth than it is to tell the real truth all right um the president did something i guess yesterday that might be one of the most important things he'll ever do and it will it will get the the least

[13:30]

and it will it will get the the least amount
what does somebody say the birth certificate no the the birth certificate let me divulge i think there's somebody here who's trying to argue that uh that trump claiming the birther thing about obama might be bad as the fine people hoax here's the difference and it's a big big difference the birther thing had nothing to do with race the only race that was injected into that was from the media and from the democrats the democrats are responsible for the birth of the thing because let me clarify trump is of course responsible for raising the issue but he never raised it as a racial issue it's the same issue he would have you know he would have because he did the same thing with ted cruz you know he would have raised the same issue if hillary clinton had any irregularity on her birth certificate

[14:30]

on her birth certificate there's nobody alive who can tell me with a straight face you know if hillary clinton had been in that situation with any kind of question that you could make about the eligibility i don't think trump would have mentioned that because she is white nobody believes that the entire racial component of birtherism is an invention of the press and and the enemies of republicans now were there republicans who were thinking hahaha it's because he's black i doubt it
it i doubt it in have you met i've spent a lot of time with republicans the last several years talking about politics and stuff a lot of time and a lot of it is private and people will tell me things that they won't say you know out loud and people will tell me even just horrible you know thoughts that they would never let anybody hear i hear everything because people kind of trust me not to

[15:30]

because people kind of trust me not to judge them which is true i tend not to judge people in person and or any other time usually
all right i'm just looking at your comments and it's throwing me off here all right so the point is that there's nothing worse than the find people hoax and i would argue that the democrats are the ones who turned the birther thing racial that wasn't trump um so trump has signed this thing the uh do do it's the executive order for a patriotic to create a national commit commission to promote patriotic education and this is somewhat a replacement for or at least a a counter to the so-called 1619 project which tried to reframe history in through the lens of slavery now i happen to think that's that the 1619

[16:32]

i happen to think that's that the 1619 project could have been really good you know if if it had been executed correctly i would say that would have been a plus because i would love to have you know our our kids should be educated to know what world war ii was they should know that the holocaust happened you know that they should know slavery they should know the details about it so you know it was a good idea but the way it was actually just turned into a racist nightmare which would destroy the country so i've said that the the way we train our kids is the operating system for the country so the the way you program children it becomes their operating system and they can't run any other apps unless they get that right if you don't get the children brainwashed i like to say because i want to make sure you know exactly what i'm talking about brainwashed if you don't brainwash children you're just giving up your future

[17:33]

you're just giving up your future because there's no alternative to it you don't let children raise themselves that's not a thing right you can't let children say you know i was going to raise you and give you some values but i think i'll just let you work it out just do it on your own we know what happens when that happens so
so when president trump signed this executive order to um to look into i guess the national commission will come up with proposals i don't know what's going to come out of it but let's say that this is productive and it produces patriotic education i would say that's one of the most important things that this president will accomplish in his entire terms and i don't think it'll ever get any
any attention because only people like me who see the world in terms of persuasion and you know operating systems etc you'd have to have a certain filter on life to know that this is the most important thing that this president will ever do i think so i think it's more important

[18:36]

i think so i think it's more important well you know anything short of you know avoiding i guess nuclear war this is probably the most important thing and i don't think this would have happened under joe biden do you do you think that joe biden would have instituted some kind of patriotic education or would he have continued pushing even harder on the 1619 kind of racist framework i think he would have we would go on full racist as as is the current situation all right imagine being the author of that 1619 project and learning that the president of the united states is so worried about how corrosive it is that he's treating it like a disease
yeah how would you like to wake up in the morning like ah oh it's what's happening today waking up let's see what's in the news uh what's in the news is that my life's

[19:38]

uh what's in the news is that my life's work the thing i'm most noted for is being treated by the united by the president of the united states as sort of a disease that he's trying to get rid of
that's what you call not your best day although i would imagine that the author and
and people beyond that think that it's still quite wonderful um as kurt schlichter said on on twitter he said that somehow the president managed to get the entire democrat group the establishment to publicly unite against educating our children about the greatness of america and it's kind of perfect isn't it the president given that he knows that whatever he does will be opposed he just keeps picking out things like you know puppies and patriotism and apple pie and the democrats are like all right

[20:38]

and the democrats are like all right we've got to be against puppies now we like puppies but we're going to have to be against puppies now so now they're against presumably they'll be against this so they'll be against education and telling kids that their country is good um
so the other thing that biden lied about last night was he said that the the president quote has yet to condemn the far-right and white supremacists and of course the fact-checkers tear him apart because he has in fact condemned white supremacist and racist a number of times in public and biden will just act like it never happened uh does does uh let me ask you this does trump ever tell a lie of that kind it feels like that's a biden kind of a lie biden will tell a lie where he'll just say trump said he wants to shoot all babies

[21:41]

trump said he wants to shoot all babies and everybody will look around and say that never happened that just never happened whereas trump doesn't really make up things that biden said does he as much i i'm you'll probably come up with an example because in the political season everybody's doing that i suppose but if i feel as though trump says stuff like you're losing it or you're you're going to be a socialist or you're when he makes a claim there's at least something to it so when the president says joe biden you're against fracking even though joe biden is trying to
to tap dance and say no no no i'm i'm sort of against fracking but i'm not really against fracking well i'm i might be against it in the future but i'm not so much against it now well not on federal land of course and yeah you can still frack because we need a transition but you can't do any new fracking so it just ends up being pretty close to what the president said whereas when biden makes up a lie it just didn't even happen

[22:43]

just didn't even happen it's not it's not close to what trump said to claim that he said maybe we should drink bleach that's not close that's not that's not in the ballpark when trump says talks uh says biden soft i'm fracking and he maybe exaggerates it a little bit just a little bit you know what's going on there like you can it's kind of transparent okay he's he's giving the extreme version biden's softening it but they're basically talking about the same thing now the fine people hoax is literally just made up drinking bleach just made up what was the
the the other one that he called cold soldiers uh losers and suckers totally out of context made up just made up
these are different um uh just so i'm spreading the criticisms around the fox news is making something out of

[23:46]

the fox news is making something out of kamala harris laughing about the statement that parents want their kids to go back to school so there's a little clip in which kamala does her uh over laugh you know that awkward where she laughs too much but what she said was that everybody wants kids to go back to school and then she laughed too hard so it makes it look like she's crazy or demented or something but the joke obviously because she was looking at somebody when she said it the joke was that parents of course want to get their kids out of the house and back to school every parent maybe not every parent lots of parents want their kids to go back to school and then she laughed about that because you know every parent laughs about it'd be good to get the kids out of the house to go to school so that's all it was that's all it was she was just laughing at something that people would laugh at normally she just overlaps but somehow that became a clip to damn her

[24:47]

became a clip to damn her um by the way you know we we've seen now two different uh
uh videos of kamal harris getting off her jet
jet for from the campaign and walking across the tarmac to a car and it's this low angle that makes her look a little more impressive you know it's just the way they film it but one of them was wearing these what these chuck maddens or whatever they are shoes and everybody got a little excited oh she's running for vice president and she wears cool footwear whoa and then she repeated it so they did the same camera angle same setup but with wheat wheat timberlands or something like that some other kind of cool cool issue and on one hand i said to myself well that's the most empty vacuous stupid thing you could be you know focusing on in somebody's footwear

[25:47]

footwear but when i saw this second one i said to myself it's not bad it's not bad because remember you know the the whole point of the uh the campaign is to make you feel a certain way it's not really an intellectual process who you're voting for it's who you feel do you like seeing president trump always wearing a suit unless he's golfing i guess but the fact he's always in a suit yes oh it's uh chuck taylor's not chuck madden's i don't know why she wear thanks for correcting me chuck taylors are the name of the shoes and it's timberlands wheat wheat timberlands are the other kinds of shoes she wore so here's my take on it she looked really good in in the way they filmed it and wearing the you know interesting footwear it was just a real good angle it was a it was a strong look because she's coming off a jet going to a limo she's being treated as special i thought

[26:49]

she's being treated as special i thought it was really good somebody says she's five foot two really yeah i i would say that that was surprisingly well done because it just makes you feel kind of a little bit positive toward her just because she's fashionable and if you think that being fashionable doesn't count you're wrong you're wrong being fashionable absolutely makes a difference voters do respond to stuff like that
um uh here's another biden fact check he says that uh trump called covet 19 a hoax no just didn't happen just another thing he completely made up yeah he took something from a different context but he totally made it up all right here's here's three things that i think need to be uh figured out by the press and by the public so i asked people to fact check me on these three points because

[27:49]

check me on these three points because every time i watch the news it feels like they're talking past these facts so they're so we're letting the news make us think past the sale so i'm backing him up to the sale and here are the three things i think we should find out if they're true i think they're true but i'm asking for a fact check and nobody has debunked it yet that i saw number one is it true that congress ignored the virus to focus on the doomed impeachment the theater this is something chris rock was saying uh chris rock was blaming congress you know he in his framing of it uh trump is a child so congress should have you know known that the virus was something they needed to work on but they were focused on the impeachment which was doomed and stupid from the beginning now when i say congress ignored the virus that's a little overstatement right because not completely ignored because i guess they had some kind of a hearing

[28:50]

they had some kind of a hearing about the virus in congress now congress has a hearing about the virus were they as informed at least informed enough compared to what the president knew at the same time is it a fact that key members of congress both democrats and republicans were completely aware of the virus risk with the same information at about the same time as president trump true or false because we didn't see congress doing much did we why why would the president be blamed for quote not taking it seriously which is just crazy talk if congress also knew about it at the same time and didn't seem to be doing anything in fact they were focusing on impeachment that's just true right is that is anything i said there not true all right how about this one trump followed his his expert's advice

[29:51]

followed his his expert's advice all the way with no exceptions for a while i thought it was an exception that um i thought that nobody agreed with trump about closing uh china travel even though it wasn't totally closed but it turns out fauci says yes he was he was asked about it and he agreed so as far as i know there are no examples of fouchy and burks giving president trump different advice than what he ended up doing that's the most important question of the election have you seen anybody deal with that in the news i haven't i haven't seen fox deal with it i haven't seen cnn deal with it i haven't seen it but it's the most important question give us an example where trump did something either too late or different because even timing could be part of it that wasn't what the experts told them to do if you can't come up with that then then the problem is that the

[30:51]

then then the problem is that the experts weren't right do we blame the experts for not being right i hope not i hope not because we should be adult enough to know that our experts were doing the best they could and they were world experts they were genuinely genuinely had all the capabilities it's just that there were a lot of unknowns there was a little bit of guessing involved right so i don't blame the experts but you certainly can't blame the person who took their advice when that was the only smart thing to do how about this true or false this is my statement trump never had an option to test our way out of the virus the way some other countries did so my claim is that a few other countries because of special cases they did have an option to be aggressive on testing and and tracking and it could make a difference but that because the united states is

[31:53]

but that because the united states is not only bigger and has more travel and it just has a lot more variables but also we didn't have tests south korea had tests because one private company ramped up before they they were asked to so somebody did something smart but it wasn't the government it was a private company who thought they could make some money and jumped into it whereas i believe that the story is that our test kits were defective but nobody knew it so if you got a late start because your experts didn't know their test kits were bad
bad would that not have happened in the obama administration would would president obama have been sitting in his office in the oval office and looking at his day's work when there's no pandemic it's just just a day it was president obama going to say you know what we need to do is fill up our warehouses with ppe did that happen that didn't happen trump didn't do it obama didn't do it

[32:53]

trump didn't do it obama didn't do it nobody ever did it didn't happen um how about did obama say to himself you know uh my esp is telling me that the test kits we're going to put together if we have a pandemic i don't think they're going to work we better you know do some kind of a big program now to get them to work against the virus that hasn't been discovered yet how do you test it before you have a virus yeah so here's the thing clearly the united states did not do well on testing i think we can all agree on that right you don't have to be a republican or democrat to say the u.s did not do good on testing but whose fault was it was that the president was he in the laboratory with the with the mixing up the chemicals and he's like i think i got it now that looks about right ship it guys i don't think that happened i i think that the president had an expectation that the lifetime professionals working

[33:53]

that the lifetime professionals working there would get it right they didn't now was it their fault well i think you'd have to dig in quite a bit to find out what went wrong it could be that whatever went wrong was something that nobody could have seen you know it could have been just a weird coincidence bad accident kind of thing you don't really know the details of that all right so if we could find out those three things uh did congress ignore the virus too at the same time with the same knowledge did trump follow all of his expert advice or did he depart from it at any time in an important way and number three did trump ever have the option that other countries had of testing their way out because the others the ones that did it had something special going on in each case
all right um and as i predicted a few months ago i said don't compare the united states to europe and other countries just yet because

[34:54]

and other countries just yet because those other countries are not done they're not done just because they got on top of it early and really really put a lid on it look like as soon as they open up international travel that's it there's no such thing as containing the virus in one country that's not a thing unless you keep the borders closed and that's not sustainable so sure enough exactly as every one of you should have been able to predict but for whatever reason at least in the news people weren't uh there's a big increase in cases um since september in europe and uh france is absorbing 10 10 000 new cases a day and it says from one report that the second wave might be hitting differently than the first wave in other words the second waves might give them quite a whack so gotta wait till the end you know if

[35:54]

so gotta wait till the end you know if if the us death rate continues to plunge but europe takes off again are they going to be so lucky i don't know have to wait i think the dumbest comment that anybody could make in public is that trump didn't take the virus seriously because first of all that's mind reading you're assuming that you know somebody's state of mind how seriously they took something and now we've got this former pence advisor is going public against trump and says that he didn't take the virus seriously he was only interested in election that is a child's view if you hear that you don't even hear you don't even need to hear the rest of it if somebody tells you that there was a president of the united states who didn't take a pandemic seriously and only cared about election just stop listening to that person they're they're not a person who should

[36:56]

they're they're not a person who should be listened to because they don't know what the president's feeling on the inside and objectively speaking he took it deadly seriously he closed traffic from china now yes he should you know maybe closed it more aggressively or sooner or whatever but you can't argue that he took it seriously he did the most serious thing you could do and early and he did it for exactly the reason that it was serious and he said out loud i'm gonna tell people you know the good the the rosie review but i'm taking it seriously it's deadly so so making a story out of this woman and i'm going to be cruel here here for a minute because i feel like i i have a free a free shot yeah i wouldn't do this in every situation but when you have somebody who's willing to put themselves personally by their name i first of all i appreciate it when somebody's giving their real name so we'll give her credit for that

[37:56]

credit for that name olivia troy who was the mike pence employee who turned on the president publicly so i'll give her credit for doing it publicly and with her own name we should always give people credit for that because that you know that's that's invested you know these are not drive by people these are people who are taking a chance a big chance with their own lives and reputations for apparently they think they need to but
but if they're taking a chance to get the wrong thing well that's a problem um here's the thing i i'm gonna be consistent and say that i can't read the inner thoughts or feelings of a stranger exactly the way
way olivia troy can't read the inner thoughts and priorities of president trump it's just not a thing can't see in people's heads so i don't know what she's actually thinking or how she actually feels i can only tell you as an observer what

[38:58]

i can only tell you as an observer what does the situation make me feel so i'm only talking about myself that's the only part i can talk about authoritatively and when i see her talking she doesn't look mentally stable which is completely different than saying she is not mentally stable right because i'm not making that claim because i don't know her right she had a high-end job you know all the evidence suggests that she's perfectly functional because she had a high-end job and she had security clearance you know probably well-educated so i'm only telling you how it how i i receive it and i don't know why but they seem to pick people for this kind of a role who just have a vibe about them that says there's something wrong and that it doesn't have anything to do with the president do you get that i'm looking at your comments to see if i'm the only one now before you jump on me and say scott

[39:59]

now before you jump on me and say scott scott scott i think you're just being a little sexist would you say that about a man scott if if this had been a man would you say looks a little unstable yes yes yes i would say that about a man that's weird my light just went out by itself of course i would say that about a man so alexa turn on studio
huh my light just died on me well we might be a little bit in the dark here um
all right that's all i got here i'm going to make a prediction just so you have something to track here's here's my prediction that by the end of the year in that december january time frame the news will start to report that the old regular flu you know the one that we've been told kills 50 to

[41:00]

one that we've been told kills 50 to thousand people a year that the news by the end of this year will be that that was never real it's a pretty big prediction isn't it
it that the most common thing everybody knows to be true universally believe to be true that fifty two thousand fifty to eighty thousand people a year will die from the regular flu i am now predicting but that by the end of this year that will no longer be considered a fact it will be modified somehow it just won't be true anymore and i say that because you can only go so long denying your own eyes all right i i'm always willing to believe the science and the statistics and the experts first that's my first impulse like oh all the experts say that's true okay how many experts say that all of them really so pretty much all of the experts are saying the same thing okay very convincing you know you you have my attention but what happens if you wake up every

[42:00]

but what happens if you wake up every day and the thing they say is true you don't see and you should see it in other words if they said all the experts say it's going to rain every day where you live and you say all right all the experts say it's going to rain every day and then i wake up and it's not raining they go okay well you know one day it didn't rain that doesn't mean they're wrong wrong it just means you know slightly wrong maybe could be a lot of other days it rains then you wake up the next day and it's not raining again how many days do you wake up and it's not raining before you say you know all the experts who said it rains every day maybe they're not right well that's where i'm at now the fact just do the math here let's say at the low end 50 000 people have died a year died of the regular flu so take 50 000 a year and multiply it by my 63 years of life

[43:01]

and multiply it by my 63 years of life but let's say i wasn't really paying attention until i was you know 13. so let's say just 50 years
alexa what is 50 times 50 000 50 50 000 is 2.5 million so i should have seen 2.5 million people or not seen them but there should have been 2.5 million people who died over my lifetime that i should have noticed right i should have noticed a friend of a friend somebody's cousin but 200 000 people have died in this country and we all have noticed we all know somebody who knows somebody right don't you all know somebody who knows somebody or at least you've seen somebody in the news or whatever how how can it be that this regular flu is killing people like crazy and we just never notice the only time we notice is when it's this flu it's possible it's

[44:02]

when it's this flu it's possible it's real but i'm going to stick with my prediction that it has never been real um and here's my hypothesis that there is danger from the flu but uh the the reason they say that so many people are dying from it has a lot to do with making sure you get the vaccination that's what i think i think has to do with getting the vaccination i don't think it has to do with reality
somebody says they may be very old could be
be could be that they're very old but i know a lot of old people have died over the course of my life i know quite a bit of people who have died from old age
age none of them died from the flu that i'm aware of all right that's all for now i'll talk to you later
