Bump bump bump bump everybody come up and see their there's still time to get a good seed for the best part of the day yeah? How many of you are experiencing a peak moment right now, because you just said yourself: what's the best thing I could be doing right now and you thought I could be watching coffee was got Adams. it's not just watching its participating and in order to participate in exactly the right way, which is the What do you want to do it? All you need is a cover hunger ass, a dagger jealousies thy looking up into a flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid. I like,
coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine Heather the day. The thing that makes everything better, it's called the simultaneous up an app is now go. Yep, just as good as I thought it would be, I know yours was going to write, starting with the most important news. First, I saw a tweet about a product that I have to have its say part for a plant for the indoor plant, but he's got an animated face on the outside of the part. And the face tells you how happy the plant is. So if the plant has just the right amount of water, the animated faces smiling and if the plant needs a little water, it's droopy or dying, and if it's too hot to do something
And you have to see the animation of it, because when you first hear this, you think well, let's say that that can't be much more interesting than that. Little singing fish that you pull over the fireplace, but I'm here to tell you the faces, have an impact on humans and when you put faces an inanimate objects or it was a non ascension objects, they do become important to people. So I did this experiment years ago. I did something called the Dilber Ultimate cubicle. I worked with their design company called ideal and four. It was just a publicity stunt, but we built and designed and ultimate cubicle, so it if he had to work in a cubic, go
what would be the best designed. So we put in some cool little features, and some of them were just funny, but one of the features was that the guest seat with sword like an airplane one of those states that the flight attendants use where you just folded down from the wall, but as soon as you folded down the gas seat, it would start a timer and that at the end of the timer, your phone would ring in your cubicle so that you could take the call and say I'm sorry. I got to take this as a to get rid of your visitor, but one of the other things we invented, which I still think about because I like this so much was an artificial plant little flower. There was a little artificial.
Container, and it could sense when you came in the office. So when you walk into your cubicle, the flower would be wilted and it would go to attention like. It was happy that you were there and when you left it would sentence that there was no motion in the cubicle and it would wilt again so every time you came back to your cubicle, it would be like coming home to your dog was always happy to see you except it's a plant and it would just go whoop. I will be happy to see you, yeah, I know a joke you're making go glad make your private jokes at home. Ok, good! I think you're done with it. but the general, the general notion of the meeting your environment so that things really Don T you like people is really strong. After hell you many of you now I have an Amazon digits. Device in my office,
but I also have one in all of the major rooms of the house. And all day long I talk to it, I will walk into a room, and I asked her about the temperature right now ask her what time it is. You know I ask it where my packages are asked at the defined words. I asked you. ass for me so, all day, long I'll be over the news. I got about a thousand retreats others tweet, so I thought it would be worth sharing it with you. Here's what I said. If you took away trumps. Excellent instincts took away clear policies is entertainer. Skills is persuasion powers you took away as my and he took away his energy you'd- have Joe Biden just just leaving that out there. Here is one of the things I think is a big problem with corona virus policy.
One of the problems is people, don't have the same risk profile. You can have one policy that works for everybody, but The other problem is, I'm pretty sure or that we're all lying. When we talk about the corona virus, publicly. Here's what I mean if, if you say Scott, you ve gotta, go make a speech about the corona virus, I would say, better say what what is good and proper to say in public. So I would I defy my public comments, so they were appropriate for public consumption, which might be different from what I'd say privately, but I suspect that were all doing that and its heartedness, and it goes like this likely, if you say Russian, should why should we do about the crowd of Irish Scot, I would say, something closer to this
I'd say you know we're gonna protect everybody. We gotta do everything to flat neck curve safety safety, where your masks socially distance outsail. right things, because I certainly know what I'm supposed to say. Pretty obvious what the socially correct thing is. No doubt about it right now, I might try to training people towards opening in the economy, but I'll be kind of soft about right, be like well. We need to get back to work, but we gotta be safe, but we need to get back to work, But why would I say public? What would I say privately? Maybe I And even say it to another person, because it so ugly but let's go even more private. What are the things you're thinking. You're not saying loud to anybody to anybody.
Does it sound like this now I'd kind to be willing to kill a few hundred thousand strangers to get back to work and get back to reckon her life, how many of you are having their thought? It goes something like this It could even be somebody I know could be somebody I care about, but still do it. You know If, if, if nobody knew, I was the one who made the decision, let's say was a lottery and the the thought. ready to decide what we do with corona virus is randomly distributed to a citizen, but it's private. Only the person who gets to decide knows there did there. Does decider. Nobody else will ever know which citizen made the corona virus policy and what, with our citizens, There is a very high likelihood that they would not do the same thing. They would do it
everybody knew their name and that it was their decision. I feel like We humans are far more. I dont want to say evil, because living is Evil just having a life is not evil, but we, certainly would be willing to kill a lot more people than we will say out loud now. Of course, there's no generalization that holds for all people that's what makes it a generalization. So certainly not going to say that every one of you watching this has that feeling. There is a lot of you and here another way to look at it, which but you are looking at it this way privately, but I'll bet you ve, never of this out loud- and it goes like this. If you kill a young person, you have may be deprived them of around sixty or eighty years of life? If you can
a nineteen year old you might depriving them of one or two years of life on average. So if look at the corona viral deaths from corona virus, given that they skew heavily toward old people and you are to count up the number of less say life years, deprived from the total public. You would find the relatively speaking there weren't that many years taken away from the public Because I didn't have money, it was the older people dying now, if you ve got a war and you send your twenty year olds off to war and a lot of them die. That's that's a gigantic difference. It years that could have been lived, There were not so what we ve got, this lockdown situation, which we know we're going to have a big impact, younger people.
If one young person dies because the lockdown caused them to be sad or overdose or commit suicide or something If young person dies, let's say a ten year old, you made it. You may have deprived ninety years of life just for that one person, whereas how many eighty year olds would have to die to equal the number of years that on ten year old lost. You know if you start doing the math by number of years. I have seen in the comments, the number of you have had this some form of this thought, but you can say it out loud Kenya right I mean I can do it because I have no shame but you can say it out loud and I wonder if policy would be different. If we could be honest about that.
although I am not sure we should be. There's part. Pardon me this as our instinct to be good and public is probably one of you: don't want to lose. You know what your instinct to be nicer in public than you are privately. Maybe we should keep that alright, because I have some other benefits. Alright right Davis on Twitter. is a c o branding expert seo and branding expert or ceo of branding iceberg something. But he too is us, Is it a tactical advantage for Republicans to have so many Democrats vote early because If you know what the Democrats, who were voting early are doing, does that give used? enough time. the Russian, with your funding and your rallies and whatever. If there's some place, it looks like a skeleton close and you and you think we can Tipp that one
because we know enough about the early votes to know its close, but we're losing so you go in and just Tippit over the edge. That's it. leave equation. I dont know the answer, because I think you'd have to no more than I know to know the answers that, but I think it might be an advantage to to go. Second, there are so many cases were going. Second, isn't advantage strategically. one of the things is now being talked about, and really should is that I would estimate this is just sort of top of my head estimate based on knowledge whatsoever, but I think that this election, no matter what Twitter goes no matter who wins something along the lines of twenty percent of the public will be triggered into a fairly severe mental health crisis, and that's not it
dead, serious, completely completely serious. Soon as an election is over and we know who who one who is likely to win? It's gonna be the biggest mental health crisis we ve ever had, and I don't think that's over a claim to you I don't think that's I probably because if you see what happened in the last four years, that's a big mental health crisis. So, as is reading, one of your comments are about q and on We won't talk about that so anyway, moving on, we got a big man Wealth crisis coming and I feel as though we need to prepare for it somehow I have said before, and I'm going to follow up on this point that I
I think it's just these shy trump supporters. You have to worry about in terms of the poles being somewhat inaccurate. I think you have to worry about the pranks authors, because I have a really good sense of trump supporters. I think, because I feel like I've lived among them, enough- and I am one of them- and I just I just feel like I have a sense of how trump supporters on average think now I could be wrong, I can be very wrong, but it's my sense. that they all have this common thought calleth? As I gazed, if you will and the carbon thought is, wouldn't it be funny if we lied to the posters and they had no idea that Trump was gonna win again and the margin that he looked like he was behind on election day was even bigger than the margin in which
he overcame in the beat Hillary Clinton now part of you might say who I don't want to tell this stranger, because nothing is really secure and our digital world. But I think some people just think it's sort of fun to lie to the Stirs and if you don't believe, that's a thing alone, to read my covets two to ask you about that, so, so I said it isn't the only if it is isn't only the shy Trump supporters, but Lops made the same point in the tweet, but left read you some of the comments now keep in mind. This is justified could I just say now fear me a few minutes ago. so I don't how many people have seen it, but Just- Some of the comments about people who like to pollsters.
I Haven'T- had the opportunity, but I think I would this is true. talk to some Friday. They told me they ve been doing it. I've done this list, different people who just like on my comments. I've done this, last two poles say. I did my patriotic duty Giant and our social circles, Babar did it. In fact I started, doing it with this doing it. People are. I was called and surveyed about, I was other surveyed for about twenty minutes and made up about half of my opinions. I do that, if they ever asked me count me in the second In other words, that they do too my uncle lied to pollsters. Exactly what I would do they deserve it that be me
This is true, I always like this because I can, if a pull over, contacted, definitely lie, they called I hung up agree. Hundred percent a trump supporter lied twice to pollsters. Why? Because I had time, because I had time That's exactly what I'm talking about this. the dad joke that there are also coming because the dad joke here that it so easy to prank. This is, everybody is just sort of thinking in the same way. Wouldn't it be funny- and I think there are- of people who have least had the idea in their head of. Wouldn't it be kind of funny funny if maybe skewed the balls little but sir will say if that happens,.
So I don't know if you know this, but a lotta conservatives are preparing for a civil war. Are you aware of that? I dont know. If there are, any Democrats were preparing. but I'm hearing whispers and suggestions and information that suggests that some conservatives maybe lots of them not or no are literally preparing for a civil war. Now, that's not to say they expect it. I think it's just people who like to prepare Republicans are you preparing? Probably there are more papers or republican. Do you think I don't know? I don't know if that's true, I just feel like. I have a sense that more Republicans would be proper
and others at least one group whose organizing generals by by geography. So in other words, are already organizing who Local warlords, who will be the conservative side. I've been approached, but you don't have to approach me to be a warlord because I already em so it if you live where I live in northern California, and this system goes down and the governments fail and this is literal- there's no joke that part of this you should rally around me. Because I'm telling you I m available, if there's nobody as you know, who's available to a warlord and I'm going to avoid violence, not a warlord likes, islands, but if you just want to be organised and you want to how to survive a.
Civil war or the breakdown of society, I will be happy to be an organizer in my northern California area. If you don't, have somebody better I'd, be happy to do happy to hand over their power to somebody else, because the odds are being, assassinated if you're the warlords. Really I really high, I prefer not to be assassinated in a civil war, but if you need one I'm a pretty good choice, because I don't have a lust for power of that type. It's the last thing I want would be to have some gotta government job, and so I'd, probably be a reliable warlord just to keep things stable until we recover from the the breakdown. Society, so that's a real offer by the one hundred percent serious, if you
need somebody to be in charge temporarily, because I definitely don't wanna do a permanently or just automatically assume that role friend, but he wants it. Usa today did them fascinating article and if you ve been following the what I call the very fine people hoax, This is a really good chapter and I tweeted about their sake and follow it that way. So you say today, I think was yesterday, article in which they were fact checking the people who said the fine people hoaxes a hoax. So that would be me so their fact checking people like me here is now: do you think that went because the transcript is very clear, so the fine people hoax is a hoax. You can just read the transcript and is obvious.
So when the USA, today, a major news organization goes to fact jacket, it's gonna be pretty easy right. Here's the transcript bomb or done is that what they did? No, they fact checked the find people hoax without linking to that, transcript, I think now part of what they did is they wrote a big convoluted article in which they mixed and stuff about the proud boys, so they couldn't really tell what they were talking about its intentionally confusing ha. Why would they make it in? Intentionally confusing when it's as simple as just showing the transcript that would be as simple as anything could be, and yet it's really confusing. You read it in your you're, not sure if they have bed bugs.
They haven't a but here's. My favorite sentence from this hot steaming, pile of ship called an article, says a few days after the rally tromp was asked. Reporters about the protest which he responded, that there were very from quote, verify people on both sides, and this is, This is in USA today yesterday, is actually in a major publication. This next sentence and says, however, Some people say they believe Trump also condemned white supremacist NEO Nazis as part of his very fine people statement. What some people believe it it's the transcript I dont believe it it's the transcript. It's not really a case of a
Qanon kind of belief. I wouldn't call it religious belief. it's not exactly like believing the aliens have landed and abducted people, though I would say, would be in the category of beliefs there's a news organization. That knows. where the transcript is, they can just show it to you and they leave off by saying that some people believe now. What is the implication of saying some people believe it. the only thing you should take away from some people believe it is. That is not true. And if you say some people believe it before you get to the deed, hills of whether its true or false Are you not trying to tell your reader that it's not true. because otherwise you would have said something closer to this some people.
Pointed out that that's exactly what the transcripts. That's? How hard would that be see how easily I wrote that sentence some people, pointed out that the transcript shows he clearly clearly disavowed this group? So you have to. If you want to be just amazed at what's happening and how corrupt the media is and how cognitive dissonance is just screwing up heads because there's a little bit of corruption and the article I think or me It's all just cognitive dissonance- or maybe it's just bias and they're trying to hide the fact that the the hoaxes a hoax under their they're, trying to be accurate While making sure that you didn't understand the point, it's really is jawdropping, When you see how they handled go particularly interesting way,.
winner does not make the same mistake. That Facebook makes when they in fact checked this hoax, over on Facebook. There is still a warning where somebody The accurate quote from the Transcript and Facebook put a fake news warning on the actual exact, accurate quote. Another words. you can just look at the quote. It's exactly the same words and they put a fake news warning now. Here's the interesting part of twitter doesn't- and I tested it by tweeting fate. Facebooks, you know facebooks. news and said the actual fine people things out. Twitter won't put a but unnoticed,
So what does it mean if Twitter thinks it's a hoax and Facebook is It is not true why When you're social media platforms don't have the same opinion on the fact, I guess they can just. they can just tell their audiences one ones of not effect and the other one is silent on allowing you to believe that. Maybe this. It's a weird, weird situation: we ve got here Are you following the story about the Joe Biden, Du Pont Mansion so apparently back and I think the Seventys, the the burdens bought mansion that had been by the Dupont's anti pay. Two hundred and eighty five thousand, for which back in the seventies, was big money, big money. At the time he was earning forty two thousand a year as as a government employees. If Forty two, if you're, making forty two thousand a year
The story I read and say whether Joe Biden was working, then I don't know she was being a mom or she was still working maybe her teacher salary, was on top of that, I'm not sure. But if the mansion is this big sprawling mansion, there was described as a money. Pet, there and disrepair. So the reason he got it for such a low price so use not be so impressed that he bade millions of dollars for this mansion. He gave her a really low price, but it was described as money pit which he spent twenty years, putting money To have any of you ever put money into a home, as anybody ever done, renovation of an older home. How that go. Do you have any idea how much it costs to renovate a mansion
now renovating a normal houses pretty darn expensive at. But maybe you can do some of the work yourself if its irregular house do you think Joe Biden did any of the work himself in his sprawling mansion? I doubt it I feel like you, would have to hire professionals to do that kind of work. The the the debunk on this the fact check on this is that if you look at the the price he paid it so low and it was such a fix, a rubber that it's not, The case of he couldn't afford it, and there is ever so he was struggling with money at the time, which is more evidence. It was a reach for him, but it wasn't that expensive. So it's all. Ok, there's no evidence of anything. That's gone wrong here right! Well, I believe that fact check depends heavily on people not being good at math and not being good finance.
If I look at a house, they cause a hundred and eighty five thousand and probably needed three times that amount for upgrades, although that would be spread over a number There's there isn't any way in the world the job I could afford african House so that the way it was reported as here's the numbers. It's obvious. This wasn't so outlandish, but I look at the numbers because I have a deep background and looking in numbers, I've told you that before and periscope. If here, if you have lots of experienced analyzing data and numbers, you get kind of a sixth sense and you can just look at something like this and go nope. I would like to put that to those of you who are watching who have finance experience, let's say you have experienced and economics finance, maybe you ve had some experience of fixing up. arms- and I want you to check my intuition
I intuition is just looking at these numbers no way that this is the whole story, not even close we're, not even in the zip code of this being debunked, not even close. That's my intuition at some looking at the comments and I'm seeing the people who have that kind of experience, apparently yeah obscene people, basically to say the same thing now. You can't trust them because there are a lot of anti binding people here who want to believe there's a crime, and I wouldn't say I want to believe that I dont want to believe that, genuinely. I don't want any any bad things to happen to the bidens or anybody else, but I don't see how these numbers work. It doesn't even look close it. If you look at the comments, you'll see pretty much mass agreement with my point, I haven't seen
anybody. Yet who said? Oh yeah, those numbers work, yeah they're, not even close dorking. Now, if you say to yourself- and I saw this defence but Scots girl, Scott. Scots got Scott Joe Biden has been revealing. His entire financial stuff is tax returns. He has been doing that for decades. If or any kind of financial impropriety would be right, there be there in the numbers and by the way and the recent years he didn't make a bunch of money but legally by giving speeches and writing books and stuff, which is true. Well, you know: here's how people bribe rich people.
If you didn't know this, this might make your head spend a little bit. Bribery doesn't happen by somebody writing a check to a senator. That's not a thing. I mean if it is a thing they usually get caught. That's what You don't know it! Here's what it would look like to bribe somebody without getting caught hey one of your kids is starting accompany boy. Did that company well funded totally legal right, you could fund you can if you can agree to give a loan or or to be an investor in in a child's company child of a center
nothing illegal about that. You might even make an investment where you would not have ordinarily made an investment. It might not be in the in the realm. Where usually invest. You could do something that Joe Biden is invested in perhaps Joe Vardon has invested in some small business, and you know it perhaps you could become the biggest customer for that small business. Again, it's completely legal to buy things on the free market, so you're, just a big customer. Just happens that the person who is an investor in their company might be a senator, so there are probably a million ways they? U can launder bribes to famous people, so you're not going to find it on tax returns right. You just knocked and find that their. So I dont have any information that says Joe Biden ever took a bribe, but
Tell you how to find it, and what are we look like? That's all I'm saying I've got a question about healthcare. I have this. This nagging feeling that the only reason we can't solve healthcare unless colored healthcare insurance. So the pedantic people don't come after me and say Scots God, Scott. There is a difference between insurance and healthcare. I know I use them interchangeably because everybody knows what you're talking about, but we are telling talking about insurance and I wonder If the only reason this hasn't been solved is because the wrong people are working. And when I say the wrong people working on it I feel as though it's a simplification problem meeting that is so complicated. The whole field that, if anybody tried to
come up with a plan. It would also be really complicated and if they tried to sell their plan to the public, the public wouldn't be able to understand it. Then they legitimately couldn't now. If it would be a good, you're. Not so I feel as if the problem with healthcare is that the complexity of sky high. Nobody yet, who is good at handling complexity, has made that they're their main job either with lots of people are good at handling complexity but they're, not working on that problem, they're working on other stuff, I guess- and let me let me give you a sense of how simple it would be to solve conceptually It's not really simple, but conceptually of simple the understand that distinction in the real world, it would be terribly difficult, but you shouldn't be- and this is why in raw-
in rough numbers. I have an updated this recently, but I'm guessing somewhere around ten percent of the public does not have health insurance and need a fact check on that. But somewhere in a range of. We'll use every for our talking point so have ten percent don't have health insurance, the other? Ninety percent? Do? Could you just raise the cost of health insurance to the ninety percent, who do by ten percent? At the same time, you're doing enough healthcare cost reduction stuff that could lower the price by ten percent. In other words, you lower the cost of healthcare by making it more competitive, getting rid of rules and obstacles and free market obstacles. It just make it more efficient you could probably squeeze ten percent of it. Don't you think? Maybe some of it would come at the the cost of highly profitable healthcare problem.
there's some might be hospitals who, are doing this service and not getting reimbursed that they there's some benefit there. If they start getting reimbursed, so you might be able to find a situation where you say: here's the deal in three years working. Try to lower the cost of healthcare, ten percent and move that burden onto the people. Have it they will subsidize the people. I don't have it. Maybe you make that maybe you make them subsidize healthcare nuts. Oh good people, don't want better healthcare, so maybe they will still want to work to get better healthcare, but the have healthcare insurance. somebody say nine percent, as my fact check number people who don't have insurance, so summarizes. The entire healthcare insurance problem is nine percent. Are you telling me we can fix it, because I
the healthcare insurance goes up what five percent a year. I need a fact check on that too, that that number just came out of my butt. But I think your regular healthcare insurance probably goes up five percent a year right, I'm just guessing so a and immediate ten percent. At the same time, you're saying Their part of this plan is we're. Gonna go nuts, I'm trying to lower the cost so that so we can get closer to break even there on those two things. So. That's why that's my observation? I Feel as though you could simplify this to the point where it should be solvable, I just don't think the right people are working on it. You take it. Hillary Clinton, who is an attorney and you say, go try to fix healthcare you're, not going to get a simple explanation for a simple solution,
you're, going to get the complicated one and if you are, if all you have working on it as lawyers, it's just going to be complicated, so get rid of the lobbyists and lawyers, and maybe it's multiple all right. I guess twitter is still locked. The New York Posts Twitter account because they still have that linked to the Biden story. The hundred Biden story. so we're watching that I'm seeing pundits say that Trump needs a closing argument. Something like what is planning to do in the future too excited base Does that track with you? Do you feel as if that's missing, I know it's missing in terms of pundits talk,
yeah. If I were a pundit on tv, maybe I'd say the same thing by the way I will be. I will be a pundit on tv tomorrow tomorrow Monday, so I rebooked for MSNBC at point. It would be some time in the six to seven p M our eastern time, let so adjust for your times but eastern time sometime in the six to seven p m Monday. Albion MSNBC, if all goes well, but I dont think that Europe needs a closing argument. I don't think he needs to tell us what new things is. Gonna do next year beyond what is already said, because everything these doing is what I would call a system. So, in other words, he's got a philosophy about now starting wars overseas. Does he to tell us start any wars in the next four years does
to tell Us- that's an objective or a goal. Because he has a system of just getting out of any foreign entanglements, so I feel like. I know what is planners. Don't do any those foreign wars. I dont need him to tell tell me what is going to do with China and negotiating because he's in the middle of doing it probably will take a lot lot more time to get it done. I dont need him to tell me what he's doing about cutting regulations. because that's a system again this now something you do and then you're done It's a regular system where, author still using it, but it was he'll cut x, number of regulations for every new one. This proposed he's gotta system. Need him to tell me. What are you gonna do with Supreme Court nominations. because he has a system, here's my list from the federal society. I'm gonna pick from the list.
I it I dont, really need much more detail than that. I don't need to know what he wants to do with taxes exactly because he wants some less if he can get away with it. I don't know if you can get away with it, but I don't really need him to tell me more about that. I know he'll try if he can to lower taxes so, I feel as though that's empty comment that he needs some kind of a year. A new thing he's doing the difference between. In my this is my big picture. view, is it Republicans or better with systems and we're going to create a system and we're just gonna keep running the system, whereas the Democrats are more about, we want every but it may equal, but we don't have a system for getting there. That would work socialism spray bad system. If you go for socialism, others
The biggest mystery in the world to me right now is still Sweden and why we don't understand Sweden. Now you are probably under the impression that Sweden is doing great right that they they didn't closed down. They didn't go asked Craig. and although they had a lot of initial deaths, you believe they reached heard immunity. They did not not even close and that the current situation is that they are very load low infection rate. Those Both the false Sweden is about average, either there they're not.
they're, not low and infections and they're, not a hot spot, their sort of in the middle in order to reach the middle they they had a far higher des, but they also had a freer society. Here's what we don't understand. Why is it not a hospital? Is it? Is it just vitamin d because they supplement in Sweden all year round they take. Cod oil or something, and so it could be- that is its social distancing. I've been told the Swedes are just natural social distances, maybe as it looks, here's a travel patterns, but what is it? And why don't? We know it? If we don't understand Sweden do we know anything. I feel that the problem we don't know what's going on in Sweden, we probably don't. And this virus enough to know that
Any of our policies are good policies. Are bad policies like we don't understand it. the other thing. We don't understand it, and this has been knowing my mind for months when I saw some epidemiologist expert on tv. saying that we don't know why any virus goes away. Did you know that We don't know why any virus goes away. Why is it that the seasonal flu that we get this year will not just come back next year? Do you know why cause experts don't know why? And it's not heard instinct, it's not That's not heard immunity is not. We know for sure that that's not the reason it stops, but we don't know why it stops and that's what they
Experts say if we don't know why a virus burns out is Trump necessarily crazy. For saying it'll just go away. Cosette seems to be completely compatible with the best expert. in on viruses that they do just burn out. We don't know why. Now you could argue that this one's different, maybe was engineered. We still can't know for sure, but the, the Trump statement that it will just go away, I think, is completely compatible with science. The partly he got terribly terribly wrong is that he was optimistic about it. In terms of timing, I dont think he has a reason to be optimistic about the timing of it.
But I would say his statement that it will go away and we won't know why probably dead on when you bet against it. If you had to take a bet right now, would you bet against Trump who said that the corona virus will some day just go away. Don't bet against that now, in my view, a year for now could be two years for now, but I would not take the bat. that, the only reason it goes away is cuz. We reach some herd immunity with either with other vaccinations or just people getting infected. I would bet on Trump being right. It's just that his timing was so wrong that I think it yeah. That's the big problem. Doktor Scott ATLAS, whose whose name needs to be changed, because every time president
Tromp is on tv and he says Scot I go what and then he goes plus not me says it again, Scott and I go home plus. Ok still, not me still not me. I keep expecting the television to talk about me and doesn't often enough, but he I guess twitter they under one of his tweets, in which he was saying something he said. I think this is the one retweeted mass work No and then it lists allay Miami Hawaii Albert Alabama and Israel. I believe he is saying that there they use a lot of masks in those places, but their infections are still high. Is that what he's saying? I don't even know the point of it and then he says, does.
Rachel, World Health Organisation, colon, widespread use, not supported, meaning masks. So we did this tweet that people interpreted as anti mask and by and bye Twitter, but then he later, he clarified by saying that what he said was compatible with current policy. Which is current policy is, of course, you should use a mask if you're going to be close to people, but if you're not going to be close to people, don't go crazy with masks. I think he was walking his walking A pretty murky line there, I'm not sure the Doktor Scott Alice, is, is helping with clarity, but there is something here big wishes is a really good bad cop right because you need a bad cop and
and it works really well in Trump scenario. It was. It was good that North Korea knew that there were some bad cops saying. We should go hard at North Korea because then Trump could be there good job, and I think this is another one of those cases. As long as there's a doctor who is an adviser who's going out, there He his also say at least pushing against the dogma of masks his nose. Don't worry mask is very clear about that. Right: situations where a mask, but he's he's pushing the boundary of that and that allows trouble to not necessarily be the one who's always pushing the boundary, but he does want the economy to open up so I feel, like maybe Doktor ATLAS, by take
in all the areas, the hate it might be good, maybe good for a tramp in terms of persuasion. I turn off is good for our health on and off it's good for anything else. I'm not the expert for persuasion wise. My work by the way, if you believe that Sweden has achieved, heard immunity and you believe that the herd immunity is much lower like ten or twenty percent. The the head expert in Sweden doesn't think threat, heard immunity. So Sweden itself doesn't believe, that's what happened so you should probably not believe that either my best guess, if I do, if I had to look at all of these different outcomes in different countries, will all these different policies in different situations.
If I'm trying to find something that could explain it. The best explanations would be cultural differences and vitamin d. I feel like we're down to that. It feels like vitamin d and cultural differences about distance might be just that. That's what I'm thinking if I had to put it better. I would bet on those two things: Somebody says smoking to smoking has a seems to have in some some say it's worse and some say as protective Dante. So I think that's an unknown, and I've heard also the marrow want to smoke could be protected. I would recommend it. I know I haven't gotten the corona virus yet so let me say this: if marijuana is protected,
Or they say it protects your lungs at some level I feel like is obvious than it would, because if you put smoke into your lungs, I feel like it least, would cover some of the surface. Maybe there's less less for the virus. The stick do if there's a covering of such on your lungs, so I can imagine it could work either way. I can imagine it could make yours or make you better, I'm no doctors who don't take any medical advice from me. Aright somebody says man. This guy has really ignorant. Usually when people called me ignorant is because they no less than I do so will will delete him in a moment.
Meanwhile, I delete that guy block all right. That's all I got for today I'll talk to you tomorrow, periscopes off all of you, you tubers you're, still worthy.
Just go: look at your comments. Somebody says most pneumonia is caused by cones is called. Are you just imagining? It helps? Yes, I am just imagining that marijuana helps. I don't have any information on that Clinton. Short foundation. Charles or tell I don't know your mentioning him. Is there some new news about Charles or tell you know who that is a problem or that's enough now I'll talk to you tomorrow.
