1:38

have some fun with us looking forward to that one.

1:40

And then We

and then a whole bunch more stuff coming up. Comic

1:49

dave smith dot com, me and Robby the Fire,

1:51

will be all over the country this

1:53

year, bringing joy and laughter

1:56

to a sad sad world. Okay.

1:58

So So first thing

2:00

that I wanted to talk about that I know you had

2:02

you had mentioned to me earlier,

2:05

Rob, does that's pretty interesting

2:07

story from the last few days. There

2:09

was an FBI agent arrested

2:13

for, believe it or not,

2:15

Russian collusion of

2:17

a sense. Evidently, he was doing

2:20

in in some type of business arrangement with

2:22

a Russian oligarch which is

2:24

a no no at the FBI. You're

2:26

not supposed to be taking money from

2:28

oligarchs and foreign countries. But

2:31

anyway, it's just it's it's really

2:33

something after all the the,

2:35

you know, the obsession

2:38

with Trump Russia collusion actually,

2:41

the first piece of evidence of any real

2:43

conspiracy seems to be

2:45

between FBI, Russian

2:47

collusion. That's something.

2:50

They were just looking in the wrong place. Apparently,

2:52

Russia collusion exists the whole time. It was

2:54

just the people investigating it.

2:56

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I saw the

3:00

this this one video of Joe

3:02

Scarborough, who's the host of Morning

3:04

Joe, over at Evanston.

3:07

He does

3:07

that show with his horror girlfriend. Right? That was same

3:10

guy. Okay. That you're thinking

3:12

of. He it was this

3:15

was I

3:17

almost like give it a chef's kiss. This

3:20

was the best spin I've ever seen.

3:23

It's just you always look at it and

3:25

and I'm watching it. I'm like, it's it's it's like

3:27

when you're unplugged from the matrix for long

3:29

enough, it's weird to just, like,

3:31

look at it and you're, like, wait, does anyone

3:33

fall for this? This?

3:36

Like, it seems like it used propaganda used

3:39

to be better. I want you to watch this

3:41

rub and

3:43

and let's give your honest assessment. Here's

3:45

Joe Scarborough. From Morning Joe.

3:47

I Pat Peeves is when

3:50

I I read columns

3:53

by opinion writers who

3:56

recklessly throw out

3:58

the term that conspiracy

4:01

theorists throw out quote Russian hoax.

4:05

We know that

4:07

when Marco Rubio was running the

4:09

the Senate Intel Committee, that

4:12

they actually said Donald Trump's twenty

4:14

sixteen presidential campaign

4:17

and its contacts with Russia caused

4:22

a direct threat to the

4:24

United States of America. We

4:26

know now that there

4:29

was Russian influence that infiltrated

4:31

the upper reaches of

4:33

of the FBI in in the

4:35

New York office. How

4:41

how disturbed should we be with

4:45

how much the Russians have been

4:47

able to infiltrate the

4:50

the United States government. And

4:52

and the fact that there's still mainstream people

4:54

they keep talking about a, quote, Russian

4:57

hoax as if they didn't

4:59

even read the second part of the Mueller report.

5:02

IT'S A GREAT POINT, JOE, BECAUSE THEY'RE

5:04

USING THIS MEGONICAL CASE, THOSE PEOPLE

5:06

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TO DISCREDIT THE

5:09

RUSSIA INVESTIGATION because McGonagall

5:11

played some small role in it. When, actually, to

5:13

your point, what it shows is how

5:15

deeply the tentacles of Russian influence

5:17

-- What do I have to say? -- I don't know. I don't

5:19

know there's and this, can you get a guy

5:21

bought off by the Russians working on

5:23

a Russia investigation that

5:25

ends up deciding Trump doesn't have

5:27

contacts with Russia How

5:29

stupid do these people think we

5:31

are? He's on the take. On

5:33

a deposit. It's from a Deposit

5:35

for a second. So

5:38

yes. You actually heard

5:40

that right. Joe Scarborough is saying

5:42

that this is more evidence of

5:45

Trump Russia collusion

5:47

conspiracy, whatever. Because look, I

5:49

mean, look, first off, it's there's just

5:51

so many things here that are just so fascinating. His

5:53

own reporter there is like, hey, that's a great

5:55

point, Joe. And look, there he goes, they're

5:57

trying to make this one guy who played a

5:59

small role in the Trump

6:01

Russia investigation.

6:03

They're they're trying to make it out like, oh, the whole

6:05

investigation is is bunk now or

6:07

something like that. And then, Joe

6:09

Scarborough, kinda contradict

6:11

him and goes, no, see, this is proof

6:14

because they bought Russia had an FBI

6:16

agent bought off, and the FBI ultimately

6:18

concluded that There was

6:20

no connection there. See, so

6:22

almost like, look, this just proves how deep

6:24

Russians Russian tentacles are

6:26

in our our government. AND WE

6:28

CAN'T. NOW HE'S SAY THAT WE CAN'T TRUST THE RESULT

6:30

OF THE ELECTION. THE

6:32

RESULT OF THE INVESTIGATION BECAUSE

6:34

OF THIS. I mean,

6:36

bravo, I guess, bravo.

6:39

What what more can you say about that? Now, of

6:41

course, the reality is, that

6:43

what Joe Joe Scarborough has been reduced

6:45

to now is saying like, oh,

6:47

but there was an a senate in intelligence

6:51

committee once we're Marco

6:53

Rubio. Marco

6:55

Rubio, who was destroyed by Donald

6:57

Trump in the twenty sixteen election, who's a

6:59

NeoCon, who's you know what I mean? Like,

7:02

just part of the unity party that he

7:04

said it it constituted a

7:06

threat that Donald Trump had had

7:08

contact with the Russians. By the way, there's

7:10

nothing unusual about

7:12

having contact with foreign

7:14

governments. That's that that was never the claim.

7:16

The claim was that there was a conspiracy. But

7:18

the reality is that There was not

7:20

only a full investigation, but there was

7:22

a special prosecutor, if you recall,

7:24

that was AAA sunk

7:27

on Donald Trump. And

7:29

they came up with nothing. They

7:32

get there was a why why weren't there any criminal

7:34

charges? Why isn't anyone in Trump's orbit

7:36

been charged with anything that has

7:38

to do with the conspiracy with

7:39

Russia. A single

7:41

one of them. I mean, does Scarborough think maybe

7:43

Robert Mueller was bought off by the Russians

7:45

too? Or it just this one FBI agent?

7:48

It's just I don't

7:50

know. By the way, I know people say, well, there were a

7:52

bunch of Trump people who were, like, arrested. It's like,

7:54

yeah, but it was all for, like, you know, failing

7:56

to, you know, disclose,

7:59

you know, like, failing to register

8:01

as a foreign lobbyist or failing

8:03

to, you know, income tax violations or

8:05

lying to Congress about some other unrelated

8:07

thing. Nothing to do with the conspiracy

8:09

with Russia. No evidence has been

8:11

presented that way that Russia, in any way,

8:13

meaningfully, interfered in the twenty

8:15

sixteen election, let alone that Donald Trump

8:17

was in a conspiracy with them to do

8:19

so. That's why mainstream people

8:21

are calling it a Russia hoax because you

8:24

had a full investigation and came up with

8:26

nothing. And when he says, oh, it's like these

8:28

people didn't read the second part.

8:30

Of the Mueller report. Well, we

8:32

did, and the second part of the of the

8:34

Mueller report has nothing to do with a

8:36

conspiracy with Russia. It's

8:38

just alleging that there were instances

8:40

that could be considered obstruction

8:43

of justice, which

8:45

again would have nothing to do with evidence

8:48

of a conspiracy, and they

8:50

include, like, Donald Trump firing

8:52

the head of the FBI or

8:54

Donald Trump tweeting that it was a witch hunt

8:56

or things like

8:56

this. It's all just complete nonsense. But

8:59

bravo, what a spin? It's

9:01

pretty impressive. I think we have to redo the

9:03

entire investigation. I mean, to think that

9:05

we spent two years, hundreds of millions of

9:07

dollars, and the investigators on

9:09

the Democratic side were actually corrupt.

9:11

I mean, if anything, we're back to square one.

9:14

Certainly, Trump can't run for election now.

9:16

We don't know that he's not a

9:18

Russian asset.

9:19

Unbelievable. Unbelievable. It

9:22

really is something. I mean, if

9:24

anything that you could just as

9:26

strongly draw the conclusion that Oh,

9:28

I mean, maybe that's what the Russians

9:31

want is for the sitting president to

9:33

be investigated and

9:35

to cause, you know, dissent within the

9:37

country. I don't know. But I mean, I don't think

9:39

there's a very strong case for

9:40

that, but there's as strong of a case for for

9:42

Well, that was always the irony of it,

9:44

was that they were yelling that this erodes in

9:46

our democracy. Well, what is yelling

9:48

for two years that the president's actually

9:51

a Russian asset do? Yeah.

9:53

Does that bring more faith into the

9:55

democracy? So it's like it was it was

9:57

always kind of a self fulfilling prophecy.

9:59

Yeah. Yeah. No. There's there is something about

10:01

that for sure that it's like, oh, yeah.

10:03

Right. We're concerned about undermining

10:06

trust in institutions as we

10:08

yell from the rooftops that our

10:10

entire system of government

10:12

has been taken over by the

10:14

Russians and that you get the president isn't the

10:16

legitimate president and all this. Anyway,

10:18

I just thought that moment from Joe Scarborough

10:20

was just polarias. And it

10:22

came in on a week where

10:24

Joe Scarborough has had several

10:26

embarrassing moments

10:28

I wanted to go through this. It's really something.

10:31

But this is it in a

10:33

way, these things all connect.

10:35

So let's let's play the next clip, which

10:38

is Joe Scarborough

10:40

talking about his battle

10:42

with with

10:42

COVID. On You

10:44

know, it's interesting. I I had not

10:46

gotten my COVID booster.

10:49

Mhmm. Which one? The fourth.

10:50

The fourth? Yeah.

10:51

Because, you know, we went to London. Then got

10:53

COVID -- Yeah. -- got completely

10:55

knocked down for a while.

10:56

Yes, you did. Yeah. Months?

10:59

Exactly. Well, I wouldn't say months. You were

11:01

knocked down for months. Months?

11:03

Yes. I wouldn't say months. No. It

11:05

was a long

11:05

time. So anyway, weeks.

11:07

Let's take teenagers in weeks. It

11:10

was way say I I was fatigued for a long time.

11:11

Three months. I say it's very interesting

11:14

though, because we're we're

11:16

learning a lot more about what what your

11:18

your resistance to COVID may be.

11:20

Yeah. I was at back in

11:22

September, just got

11:24

got my checkup

11:26

and the antibodies

11:28

are, like, at a hundred percent right now.

11:30

Interest. So for for it it kinda

11:32

works out. But again, we found out we found

11:34

out the boosters, the vaccines,

11:36

they don't stop the disease.

11:39

they certainly do make a big

11:40

impact. Instead of me being down for a month

11:42

--

11:42

Right. -- with

11:43

fatigue, if I'd taken the booster, I would have

11:45

probably sneezed said what was that and

11:47

kept

11:47

going?

11:48

That's the difference. And I'm sorry. Love with people

11:50

go, oh, I'm not gonna cause a difference, so you still

11:52

get COVID.

11:53

I know. No. That's that's not the purpose

11:55

of it. That's never been the purpose of the flu

11:57

shot. And so it builds up

11:59

your resistance just like,

12:01

actually, getting COVID builds up

12:03

your resistance exactly. Take it from

12:05

listen. So do yourself a

12:06

favor. Right? And get

12:09

off the websites that

12:11

Chinese religious cults are

12:14

are are putting as a fight so they

12:16

can get a

12:16

stool. Possible. I'm

12:17

sorry. I can't make a stand. I just can't do

12:20

it.

12:20

And the idea that the two of them are playing a

12:22

guessing game and then also insulting

12:24

you for -- Yeah. -- actually trying to read up

12:26

and have an opinion and do your research

12:29

They're right in front of you guessing going, hey,

12:31

we have no idea what the impact of.

12:33

Did you get the booster? Did you not have the booster?

12:35

How far out were you? How we don't even remember

12:37

how sick you were for, but it would have been worse. That's

12:39

their best scientific analysis and then they

12:41

go, and don't read other places. Come

12:42

here, because we'll give you the best information

12:45

avail. Sounds like you're completely fucked.

12:47

Well infused. The reason why I was

12:49

saying, yeah, listen, you're absolutely right. It's

12:51

just it's infuriating. It's

12:53

so smug. And it's like

12:55

this this thing where they're like, yeah. Well, obviously, it

12:57

doesn't stop you from getting it. That was

12:59

never what it was about. It's not why we take

13:01

it. It just makes it better. It's like,

13:03

oh, So if someone's still under the impression

13:05

of the way you guys sold

13:07

this thing, then, you know, like,

13:09

that's what you're an idiot. Like,

13:11

they're they're talking down to you. And then this

13:14

assertion that it would have been worse.

13:16

Like, it it's all but the reason why I I

13:18

was connecting that to the first video

13:20

is it's like, if if you look at it,

13:22

it's really the same mentality. Right.

13:24

It's the same mentality. It's like, okay.

13:27

Double down. Yes. You're starting from the

13:29

position of, I'm right. And

13:31

no matter what evidence comes

13:33

out, that it

13:35

just has to in some way prove that I'm

13:37

still right. So there's the

13:39

I I'm starting from the premise that I am

13:42

correct. Evidence be damned.

13:44

Like, there's no it doesn't matter or what

13:46

evidence comes out that can only

13:48

possibly You know what I mean? Nothing

13:50

could prove me wrong. So you won't

13:52

allow yourself to go like,

13:54

oh, So I was

13:56

saying that Trump was in a conspiracy with

13:58

the Russians, turns out one of

14:00

the people investigating him was and

14:02

in conspiracy with the Russians, and the

14:04

investigation yielded nothing. Oof.

14:08

You know, that's if you if you maintain

14:10

like a one percent chance that you could be

14:12

wrong. You look at that and go, oh, we kinda

14:14

got that one wrong. Right? It's just

14:16

the obvious conclusion from

14:18

that. But if there is a zero percent

14:20

chance you're wrong, you go, well, now

14:22

this must be the reason why the investigation

14:25

yielded no results. You know what I mean? It's just a

14:27

it's like and and this stuff, I mean, it's literally,

14:29

like, out of some old cartoon what a

14:31

snake oil salesman would say when they

14:33

found out that the snake oil wasn't helping. Like, you

14:35

just didn't take enough. You need I mean

14:37

imagine you get you get

14:39

double vaccinated and boosted

14:41

and then you get COVID and still

14:43

get very sick from getting COVID.

14:46

According to his girlfriend, months. So

14:48

I don't know. I know people have gotten very sick

14:50

from COVID. I don't know anyone who it's it's

14:52

knocked them out for months. So

14:55

just saying, like, what's what's

14:57

the answer that's right in front of your

14:59

face there? I got double

15:01

vaccinated and boosted, still got COVID still

15:03

got very sick. The obvious conclusion is

15:05

that the vaccines work. Right? And

15:08

that you're an idiot for questioning

15:10

whether these vaccines work. There's

15:12

just So, like, it's it is

15:14

truly stunning

15:16

to watch someone have this

15:18

level of certainty despite all

15:20

of the

15:20

evidence. So here's the

15:22

Despite all of the evidence coming at

15:25

them. He just wasn't boosted enough.

15:27

Literally. That's that's the take it's the snake oil take.

15:29

I just wasn't boosted enough. Just should have been

15:31

boosted more.

15:32

You know,

15:32

I think if these people care about their health, that

15:34

lady should probably spend less time in a tanner.

15:37

I'll be honest, don't worry so much about

15:39

the boosting. Maybe just

15:42

maybe just let's let's

15:44

maybe just let self

15:46

tanner. Alright, guys. Let's take a moment

15:48

and thank our answer for today's show, which

if you feel like there's something interfering with your

16:02

happiness or preventing you from achieving

16:04

your goals, definitely go check out

16:06

better help. I know a lot of

16:08

people who have benefited from therapy. I've

16:10

benefited from it personally in the past. A lot of

16:12

times, I think people think that go to

16:14

therapy is gonna be, you know, crying

16:16

about how your dad didn't hug you enough

16:18

or like digging through long

16:20

lost painful memories. But In

18:01

pretty funny. So this is now the next

18:04

day. Joe Scarborough had to

18:06

respond to the response.

18:08

Because so if you can imagine he did this piece

18:10

and he's just getting eviscerated.

18:14

Online. So then here was his

18:16

his comeback. I mean, he might as well said,

18:18

stay tuned. We don't know what the fuck we're

18:21

talking about. We're confused about how this technology works.

18:23

So don't go on your stupid

18:24

websites. Stay tuned to us.

18:26

Yeah. Pretty much.

18:28

Alright. Let's let's check this out.

18:31

YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT

18:34

GETTING COVID AND SHOULD

18:36

HAVE GOTTEN A FORTH Rooster

18:38

SHOT. A lot of these frinks. Oh, fourth Brewster shot

18:40

robot. No. Listen. Here's the deal.

18:42

More on. If you get

18:44

a flu

18:45

shot, What do you do? Do you go to the

18:48

doctor? Oh my god. You want me to have a

18:50

fiftieth flu shot now?

18:51

You get a flu shot every year.

18:53

Right? And as we're finding out with this

18:55

pandemic, Well, it lasts

18:57

six

18:57

months, maybe a year. So yes. Yes.

19:01

Put on your big boy

19:02

pants. Put on your big girl pants.

19:05

And if you wanna be healthy, I don't care

19:07

if you don't. That's your business. Smoke cigarettes

19:09

do whatever you wanna do. Stay up all

19:11

night. Don't sleep. That's fine.

19:14

Be unhealthy, your

19:17

choice. My concern here though,

19:19

and let me bring in rev and sharpen

19:21

because we've talked about this. My

19:23

concern rev is that there's

19:25

a disinformation out there where

19:27

people are saying, oh, well, that it doesn't

19:29

work because you you've got to keep getting

19:32

boost your shots. The thing is you're always trying

19:34

to build up your immunity

19:36

and people are still dying

19:38

from COVID. Is it a crisis

19:41

right now? Well, for the people who were

19:43

dying of COVID. Yeah. Oh my

19:44

god. Let me pause it. It's just is it Sure.

19:46

Let's pause it. Oh my god. It's just there's

19:49

so much lunacy here. Yep. Let's start

19:51

with I don't care about your behavior. So then

19:53

if you don't care about other people's behavior and

19:56

so then, who cares? Well, what's the problem?

19:58

Yeah. They

19:58

make, like, decisions. As if it's, like,

20:00

dude, you you sit there and go, like, hey, look, you

20:02

don't wanna take it. You don't take it. There, that's your choice.

20:04

You wanna stay up like, you wanna do

20:07

excuse me, you've ruined

20:09

millions of people's lives for not

20:11

taking this thing. There's how many

20:14

people were fired from their jobs. And it's like, you know what a

20:16

major thing that is to just destroy

20:18

someone's livelihood because they didn't take

20:20

this. And now it's kinda like this, oh, almost this

20:22

libertarian attitude. Right?

20:24

Whatever. You wanna take it. You wanna not take it. But

20:26

obviously, I should still mock you. You're still

20:28

a moron. For

20:30

that you're a moron if you're

20:32

someone like me or you

20:34

who didn't take

20:37

the vaccine. Doesn't have to

20:39

worry about any of the problems from the

20:41

vaccine, got COVID and has better

20:43

immunity than people who talk. The

20:45

vaccine. We're we're morons

20:47

for this, yet somehow what?

20:51

Like, your argument, which is

20:53

not moronic, all is that I

20:55

got COVID and got so sick after

20:57

three

20:57

vaccines, four would have made it

21:00

much better. And then here's the dumbest thing

21:02

he says. It's still a pandemic for the people

21:04

getting sick. Let's just say

21:06

there's, what, nine billion people on the

21:08

planet. And once let's just say

21:10

once a year, one out of every nine billion

21:12

people go up in flames when

21:14

they fart. They literally catch fire out of

21:16

their asshole, and

21:18

they burn in front of you alive and

21:20

yell and pain. And you and I said,

21:22

well, I wouldn't worry about not

21:24

farting because that only happens one out

21:26

of every nine billion

21:26

people. Mhmm. And

21:27

he would say, well, it's still a pandemic

21:29

for that one person. That's what

21:31

he's literally saying right now. And sure, it's

21:33

not a pandemic. But what about the people

21:35

that are dying? Yeah. Every single

21:38

or what about this? By the same

21:40

logic? It's a great investment strategy to

21:42

play the lottery because guess

21:44

what? Most people don't win, but there's that

21:46

one guy that won. So

21:47

it's a

21:47

hammer hammer hammer hammer hammer hammer hammer

21:49

hammer hammer. Yeah. No.

21:51

That's what the exact same logic. For

21:53

him, it was a really great investment. It was the best thing

21:55

that ever happened for him. So, like,

21:57

right. Okay. Okay.

22:00

Here's, by the way, a

22:02

different take that also

22:04

got a huge huge response

22:07

online. Is Scott Adams

22:09

Tanner? I just sent you this video if you

22:11

don't mind pulling that up. So

22:14

Scott Adams, he's the

22:16

guy who created Dilbert

22:18

--

22:18

Mhmm. -- Jabber, who are you into

22:21

Dilbert? I read Dilbert. And then later in life,

22:23

he was writing really interesting opinion

22:25

pieces in the Wall Street Journal, and he had a

22:27

very good way of breaking things

22:28

down. He was an early predictor that

22:30

Trump was gonna win, and I read his

22:33

books. And he was a particularly disappointing

22:35

figure when it came to

22:37

COVID because based off of

22:39

I

22:40

he's a smart guy. I just I don't know how he

22:42

wasn't able to see it based on all the writings

22:44

he has on cognitive bias

22:46

and

22:46

-- Yes. Yes.

22:47

-- like Yeah. Yeah. No. III

22:50

yeah. Basically, that's my assessment too. That

22:52

he was I I did a a

22:54

great gutfeld show with him once, and we hung out a little,

22:56

but he's an interesting guy. he was he was

22:58

right one of the guys who really, like,

23:01

put his his balls

23:03

on the table predicting Donald Trump

23:05

was gonna win and had a really

23:07

interesting explanation for why Donald Trump

23:09

was connecting with people so

23:11

much. Yeah, he he was very

23:13

bad. On all of the the COVID stuff, at

23:15

least from what I saw in him. He's really just

23:17

just got it wrong. And it's a it

23:19

is kind of a shame to see people that.

23:22

But he head of video and this kinda caught my eye. I think

23:24

part of the reason why this blew up

23:26

so much is because it's just

23:28

so damn rare But

23:29

anyway, let's just well, let's play it and

23:32

and let you guys decide what you

23:34

think.

23:34

Having said as

23:37

clearly as possible that the anti vaccination people seem to

23:39

be the winners? I

23:40

want you to hear that clearly.

23:43

The anti vaccination people appear to be

23:45

the winners.

23:47

The anti virus clearly

23:50

are the winners at this point, and I think

23:52

it'll probably stay that

23:53

way. And and I

23:54

don't want to put any shade on that

23:57

whatsoever.

23:57

They came

23:59

out the best. They they have the winning

24:02

position. The

24:03

unvaxed have a current advantage

24:07

because they they feel better. The

24:09

the

24:09

thing they're not worrying about is

24:11

what I have to worry about.

24:13

Which is I wonder if that

24:16

vaccination five years from

24:16

now. Because really the anti

24:19

virus I think were really just

24:21

distrustful of big companies and big

24:23

government. That's never wrong.

24:25

It's never wrong to

24:27

distrust government. It's never

24:29

wrong to distrust big companies.

24:33

Right? So if you just took the position, let's

24:35

just distrust everything the government

24:37

did, what you want?

24:39

You want? You want

24:42

complete? That's all that's all we need to play of

24:44

that. So that was basically the

24:46

the the gist

24:48

of it. That

24:50

I I give him credit for at least admitting

24:52

that. And this is I I

24:54

gotta tell you that he it really is kind

24:56

of the essence of of what he broke down

24:58

there is basically the essence of

25:01

why it's one of the

25:03

things that's built up this show so much. It's like,

25:05

why our track record is so much better

25:07

than most on all of

25:09

the major stories. You know what I mean?

25:11

Like, whether it's the

25:14

the vaccines or the lockdowns

25:17

or the Trump Russia collusion.

25:19

Any any of, like, the big stories that we talk about, we

25:21

have a very good rate of

25:23

getting getting basically to the gist

25:25

of what's really going on here.

25:28

And it's essentially that. It's

25:30

not that anything the government

25:32

ever says. It's like if the government says the

25:34

sky is blue, I'm not gonna take the position that

25:36

it's not. You know what I mean? You don't it's

25:39

not that like, pure,

25:41

you know, like, it's

25:44

not that you're that, like,

25:46

pure, like, purely a contrarian.

25:49

But The point is that you always start

25:51

with the the premise of

25:53

I don't trust you lying pieces of

25:55

shit. That's

25:57

when you start with that, it

25:59

just makes it much much easier to

26:01

get these things right. And I

26:03

just don't I don't see how

26:05

there's any reasonable argument

26:08

against what he's saying there,

26:10

which is that look for the

26:12

like, again, me and you as examples, at

26:14

this point, I don't even know exactly, Rob,

26:16

like, what percentage of people have had

26:18

COVID, at least once at this

26:20

point? I I mean,

26:21

everyone but Howard Stern? Yeah. Like, it's

26:23

good. Right. I mean, it's gotta be a very high

26:25

percentage. So of those of all

26:27

of the people who did not

26:29

get the

26:30

job,

26:30

most of them I think

26:33

are in our position where they got the the

26:35

germ, you know. And most of the people

26:37

I know, almost

26:39

everyone I know who got

26:41

the job, also got COVID at

26:43

some point. But same

26:46

for the people who didn't. And

26:48

now you're in the position where it's like whatever the unknowns

26:51

about this new

26:53

vaccine like technology, we're

26:57

just in a position where we don't have to at least for ourselves

26:59

worry about that and we got

27:01

better immunity without it.

27:03

How do you how do you really argue against

27:06

this? And but it's there's

27:08

nothing like it's not as if we escape

27:10

that completely. Because

27:12

if you, you know, if you are worried

27:14

about the effects as Scott Adams says five years down

27:16

the road or whatever from the vaccine, it's not like all of us

27:19

don't have people we love

27:21

who have who have gotten vaccinated. You

27:23

know what I'm saying? So it's not like we

27:25

we completely escape that

27:27

that fear. But

27:30

it's kinda cool to see him

27:32

admit

27:32

that. It's cool

27:35

and rare. So I'll

27:36

you know, I'm happy like, I I

27:39

I'm happy to give credit to

27:41

people who were wrong about something and can admit

27:43

that they were

27:44

wrong. So

27:44

I got no problem with that. I don't feel

27:47

that way. But what how do you

27:49

feel?

27:49

I I'm not working with perfect

27:52

information here because I don't remember quite

27:54

what he said, but I feel like was using

27:56

his intellect to throw shame on people that

27:58

were vaccinated and calling it dumb.

28:00

And I think anyone who really look

28:03

at unvaccinated. Yes. Unvaccinated. I

28:05

think anyone who is doing

28:07

their homework and being honest and reviewing

28:09

the information, this was very obvious. I

28:11

don't think it's okay brilliant

28:13

intellect or a gamble to

28:15

look through the COVID

28:18

hysteria and this massive

28:20

campaign to forcibly

28:22

vaccinate people --

28:23

Yeah. -- it it did not take brilliance. Well,

28:25

it's also not yeah.

28:26

Listen. Oh, listen. There's nothing nothing that we

28:28

ever get right takes brilliance. That's

28:31

the truth. And it

28:31

wasn't a gamble either. It wasn't it wasn't

28:34

yeah. Like, it's not there's nothing that

28:36

we get right here that we get right because we're

28:38

so super smart and are just can

28:41

see things that the average peep person

28:43

couldn't see because of our level of

28:45

brilliance. It's just having a

28:47

healthy skepticism of power,

28:50

and then really trying to

28:52

examine the information from an honest way. And

28:54

look, I I will agree

28:56

with you that there's much

28:58

more of an excuse. You know, people who

29:00

if you say, like, March

29:03

twelfth twenty twenty, when there

29:05

really wasn't a lot of data

29:07

out on COVID yet. And

29:09

when the people were like,

29:11

really didn't know what the death rate was gonna be

29:13

and how bad this thing was gonna be.

29:15

And when, you

29:17

know, politicians were saying fifteen days

29:19

to flatten the curve. That just give us

29:21

a couple weeks off. There's a

29:23

much

29:24

you

29:24

have a much better excuse for

29:27

falling

29:27

for that. Than you do for falling for all of the

29:30

propaganda around the jobs. Like,

29:32

that because at that time, at least there

29:34

was a lot unknown. It wasn't clear how bad

29:36

this thing was gonna be, and the

29:39

the ask was very

29:41

reasonable. The the ask of, like,

29:43

two weeks So the hospital

29:45

system isn't overrun. That's what all the

29:47

experts are saying. Now, we,

29:49

I think even then,

29:52

like, we

29:55

just come into this with like a

29:57

little bit more of like a background in

29:59

knowing what lying sociopaths all

30:01

these people are. And how they're wrong about

30:03

everything. So it was much easier for us to

30:05

go, like, well, yeah, I don't care if everyone in

30:07

the in the corporate press and everyone

30:09

in, like, the the, you

30:11

know, state medical, you

30:14

know, complex

30:16

is saying this. That doesn't really mean anything. You

30:18

know what I mean? Like, you need like, so

30:20

So just a lot easier to kind of even see

30:23

through, like, no. If the government asks

30:25

you for two weeks and you give them full

30:27

authority for two weeks, you're not getting that back

30:29

in two weeks. In fact, you may never get

30:31

a lot of it back. But

30:33

by the time that

30:35

the vaccine regime was coming up. You

30:37

gotta remember, this is almost a full

30:40

year later, a

30:42

full year of, like, all the

30:44

lies and bullshit around COVID

30:46

and having have just

30:48

having all of the information

30:50

about who was actually vulnerable

30:52

to this to

30:54

this virus, who wasn't,

30:56

what, you know, like tons of data at that

30:58

point by the time you're talking, what, early

31:00

in two thousand twenty one? When

31:02

do the vaccines actually start getting distributed? It

31:04

wasn't until it was at February or March of two

31:06

thousand twenty one, something like that.

31:09

But regardless, like, Maybe even later. Might have even

31:11

been later than that. You had like

31:13

a year worth of of

31:15

data. And then you also could

31:17

could easily look at the

31:19

fact that that, you know,

31:21

this vaccine was rushed. It was experimental. It had

31:23

been given emergency approval.

31:28

That it that they were shielded from that

31:30

that companies were shielded from liability. This

31:32

is a lot of things that were pretty easy to

31:34

to see about it. And then, of course,

31:37

and more data about the actual

31:39

vaccines became available. Now I I

31:41

do agree with you that it did

31:43

not take a genius to

31:46

to to see what was going on here. And he's

31:48

still kind of just playing it off as, yeah,

31:50

the people that just say everything out of

31:52

government's a lie got lucky on this

31:54

one. They just got lucky on this one. Alright,

31:56

guys. Let's take a moment and thank our sponsor

31:59

for today's show, which is sheath

32:01

underwear. Sheath underwear makes the underwear

32:03

of legends. And when I say

32:05

legends, I mean, me and Lewis

32:07

and Michael Malice. Probably

32:10

some other legends too. I don't know, but I will tell

32:12

you this is high quality boxer

32:14

briefs, the best I've ever worn

32:16

It's the only underwear I wear. I've I've

32:18

been saying this for a while now, but it's absolutely

32:20

the truth. Sheath came on as a

32:22

sponsor. They sent me a few pairs of

32:24

their boxer briefs I bought a

32:26

bunch more of them and have thrown out every

32:28

other pair of underwear that I owned. I it's

32:31

just it's a difference that just makes

32:33

you feel so much better They're they have the dual

32:35

pouches, of course, which I was a little

32:37

skeptical of at first, but they're a a total game

32:39

changer. They separate your man parts

32:41

keep everything comfortable right where it's supposed to be. If you don't wanna

32:43

use the dual pouch, you don't have to. You can just wear them

32:45

like a regular pair of boxer briefs, and I'm

32:48

telling you, they'll be the most comfortable box of

32:50

briefs you've ever owned. So go on

32:52

over to sheath underwear dot com.

32:54

Use the promo code problem twenty.

32:56

That'll get you twenty percent off

32:58

your entire order. They also have

33:00

other stuff like hoodies and gate

33:02

or necks and and other other t

33:04

shirts stuff like that. Go check

33:06

them out. Sheath underwear dot com promo code

33:08

problem twenty for twenty percent off

33:10

your

33:10

order. Like I said, I don't have all the information on

33:12

what he said previously to criticize

33:15

him. But he's a really smart

33:17

guy, and he's particularly well

33:20

versed in, like, psychological

33:22

biases in the way that people process information.

33:25

So there's something fishy to me about the

33:27

fact that he was onboard

33:29

with the vaccine regiment this entire

33:32

time. And then once it becomes so

33:34

obvious that you you can't support it in

33:36

any capacity, It's,

33:38

like, kinda conveniently late to

33:40

to to switch over. Even if you're being

33:42

honest about it, it's a it's a

33:44

little bit too late. It's also

33:46

relative to how

33:47

errategantly, you were giving people a hard time

33:50

for having a different opinion. Yeah.

33:52

You know, you've kinda convinced me, Rob. I

33:54

think that it's like it's almost

33:56

like the rate of how shitty

33:58

you were to people, it should

34:01

it should, like, correspond to how much

34:03

of an apology you owe. When you realize wrong the

34:05

whole thing. So we've basically though we've

34:07

looked at two different ways that people who got

34:09

all of this wrong

34:11

have handled

34:12

it. There was Joe Scarborough.

34:14

You're all still morons. And if

34:16

I

34:16

Yeah. I guess Scott Adams is the better of the two.

34:18

Of the two. Okay. And if I know, Joe

34:20

Scarborough is saying if I'd just been vaccinated more, I would've wouldn't

34:23

have gotten COVID. Here's the

34:24

third. Wait. Can I just say one more

34:27

thing on Scott Adams? Here's the

34:29

other thing. It based on what I've seen from him, it's

34:31

not enough because now he goes, oh, I'm looking at

34:34

the current condition. It turns out the vaccines

34:36

didn't work the way that they said it was gonna

34:38

work. So Looks like you guys

34:40

are right. But where's the review?

34:42

Where's the look back on why you got it wrong?

34:44

Yeah. That like that, then I would

34:46

go, oh, because that if you have

34:48

an honest intellect, that's the way you approach it. You go, wow, this is really interesting to me. I clearly

34:50

got this wrong and other people really clearly

34:53

got this right. I'm gonna do a

34:55

look intellect read me as strength. Here was the

34:58

mistake I made. Here's the you know what I

34:59

mean? You kinda have to do a

35:01

review to go hey, I've

35:03

purged what was wrong in my critical thinking or

35:06

at least attempting

35:08

to grapple with it. You know? Yeah. Without

35:10

something along those don't haven't been cleaned of your

35:13

cleansed of your sins. Yes. I agree.

35:15

Well,

35:15

here, Rob, I'll give you a

35:17

third a

35:19

third As

35:20

I believe, paid off Hitler used to say. Here's a

35:22

third a third position. It's a minor way.

35:24

It's a

35:25

it kind of Here's

35:28

another way to handle being wrong

35:30

about everything. Let's let's

35:32

queue up America's leading scientist Bill

35:36

Gates. Anyway,

35:38

so antibodies, antivirals, we

35:40

think we can also have

35:42

very early in an epidemic.

35:44

The thing you can heal that will

35:46

mean that you can't be infected, a

35:50

blocker, an inhaled blocker.

35:52

We also need to fix the three problems

35:54

of vaccines. That

35:56

current vaccines are not infection blocking. They're

35:59

not broad. So when new variants come

36:01

up, you lose protection. And

36:04

they have very short duration, particularly in the people

36:06

who matter, which are old people. And

36:08

every one of those things is

36:12

fixable. In fact, doing that

36:14

work is going to help

36:16

backs and all. It's very very

36:17

broadly. No. That's that's

36:19

it. That's the

36:19

video. It's just this was

36:22

everything that was conspiracy

36:24

three months ago. At this at my point, this

36:26

is the third way. This is the third way is

36:28

that you just casually rattle

36:31

it off as if this isn't even

36:33

news or

36:33

anything. Just just kinda very

36:36

casually going like, that was

36:38

Bill

36:38

Gates. Just casually going I mean, the vaccines suck. But, you know, there's lots of other

36:40

things that we could be doing. The vaccine is

36:42

just like, they're not very effective and, you

36:44

know, they don't stop you from

36:47

getting it and they they wane very quickly and they don't

36:49

do well with mutations. But what we're gonna do

36:51

is we're gonna try you know, it's all fixable

36:53

and then we could have this thing you inhale, maybe

36:55

that kind of block like just talking

36:57

about ideas that they may able develop in the future, but very

37:00

casually just lets you know that all of

37:02

the shit that met

37:04

that you were completely

37:06

demonized for saying that you were

37:08

complete that it was alright. All this all

37:10

this propaganda safe and effective and

37:13

ninety percent protection and all

37:15

this stuff that they used to

37:16

say, just all very casual. Not so this

37:19

to me, by the way.

37:21

the

37:22

most disgusting of all three. Of

37:24

all three

37:25

ways to handle it, this one is

37:27

the most just reprehensible.

37:30

At least Scarborough's dug in and calling you a moron

37:32

and still arguing his dumbass point. At

37:34

least that, you know, you okay. We

37:36

can argue about this now. Scott

37:39

Adams, okay, fine. You make a good point, not

37:41

the maybe the apology that he owed,

37:43

but at least admits I was wrong and

37:45

you guys were right. Bill Gates is

37:48

gonna after demigodging this

37:50

issue for three years.

37:52

He's just gonna casually sit there

37:54

and go yeah, and we know that this is

37:56

a thing. As you said, you were a

37:59

conspiracy theorist who

38:01

must be silenced. And driven out of

38:03

polite society just a year and a half

38:06

ago, if you had said this, probably

38:08

still a

38:10

year ago. You know what I

38:12

mean? You you would you would actually they'd be like, you you ought to be a second

38:14

class citizen, not allowed

38:18

in businesses. You know, they were they

38:20

were remember when they were, like, talking about not

38:22

allowing you in grocery stores, like, they were

38:24

the the and now he's just out

38:25

there. Yeah. Just saying this. So That's what I mean, we

38:28

all know. I think

38:30

real investigative journalist need to

38:32

be writing a story on firstly,

38:35

Bill Gates involvement before pandemic in investing in

38:38

these vaccines and also

38:40

that simulation

38:42

that they did about what if there was like

38:45

a new virus. Two after the thing came out,

38:47

his personal profits, why he was

38:50

looked on as some sort of a

38:52

science expert, his relationship

38:54

with the World Health

38:56

Organization and every single step of the way

38:58

what he did to try and

39:00

educate people on the value of

39:02

the vaccine. Vaccines and then also kind of push all of these

39:04

authoritarian measures to make sure that people

39:06

are taking the vaccines.

39:08

And then weigh that

39:10

against this exact moment, and either

39:12

he needs to answer for, well, when did he

39:14

know this new information that is trade

39:17

at everything. I seem to remember him preaching up until this

39:19

point of

39:19

view. And then if it's just

39:22

new education,

39:24

then he probably needs to get out of the science game and

39:27

he should no longer be looked

39:29

upon as a health expert. The

39:32

fact that every single news organization is still willing to have a conversation

39:34

with him and not just laugh him out

39:36

of a room for being either a complete

39:38

liar or just completely wrong is

39:42

firstly, it's insulting to individuals and then

39:44

also, like, you're lying too. That's propaganda.

39:46

If you guys are in the

39:49

if you guys are here to give people honest information, then have a conversation with

39:51

the people that got this right. Don't have a conversation

39:53

with the guy who got it

39:56

wrong. And then continue to pretend like he's a health expert or that he's

39:58

got some sort of a valuable perspective on

40:00

this topic. He should be laughed out of a

40:02

room. Yeah. Of course,

40:04

you're absolutely right. It's just so interesting.

40:06

And I guess it'll be a little

40:08

while before we know exactly

40:11

how these things, like, what the

40:14

ultimate effect of all of this stuff is gonna

40:16

be. And then when it when

40:18

the effect comes, it's it's easy to it's like what RothBord used to say about

40:20

inflation, is that you have all this money

40:22

printing, the inflation doesn't come immediately, it

40:24

comes later, and then they can always blame it on something

40:26

else, you

40:28

know. But if you go you know, if you think about something like

40:30

thinking about think about, like, the war

40:32

in Iraq and there's this

40:36

huge war that's

40:38

just sold to the American people on lies.

40:40

They all turn out to be lies.

40:42

And you go like, well, what's the

40:44

effect of that? Well, I

40:47

don't know, but it's it's kind of like

40:49

what followed it in society. You know,

40:51

it's like Donald Trump and Bernie

40:54

Sanders and

40:56

Antifa and you know, like, all these things that, like now I'm

40:58

not saying that that alone caused all of them,

41:00

but it certainly was like a big factor. There's

41:02

a huge thing that America launched this

41:04

huge war that was a complete

41:06

disaster. And same, in Afghanistan, this is the

41:08

war being, you know, just a humiliating

41:10

defeat and all of this stuff. And

41:12

it's like, this this

41:14

has a real effect whether when you look at,

41:16

like, trust in institutions

41:18

and polarization of the

41:20

country and just things coming unglued and

41:22

stuff like that and the some of it

41:23

good, some of it bad.

41:25

But it it

41:26

really is something that's like, that

41:30

is nothing. And

41:30

I don't mean I I don't mean to diminish, like, the war in Iraq. I

41:32

mean, I'm not saying it's not nothing to the

41:34

hundreds of thousands of people who died

41:36

and the tens of millions who's lives

41:39

were ruined. You know what I mean? But I'm

41:41

just saying, it is nothing in terms of how much

41:43

it affected the average

41:46

American compared to COVID. Like, are the

41:48

this wasn't something that we did to some, you

41:50

know, little country halfway around the world that

41:52

we can kind of like, you almost you

41:55

have to almost, like, Even when me or

41:57

you are outraged about the war on a rack, it's still kind

41:59

of an abstraction to us. You know, you have

42:01

to, like, think about the

42:04

fact that these are real people over there and this is really horrible and kind

42:06

of the not so much so if,

42:08

like, you know, your your brother thought

42:10

over there or something like that. But it's

42:14

But this COVID was like upended everybody's

42:16

way of life. There's like no

42:18

one escaped it. Even people like

42:20

me and you who reasonably escaped

42:24

insanity as much as possible. It's not

42:26

still like we didn't have tons of gigs

42:28

canceled and our lives were different. I mean,

42:30

I moved out of New

42:32

York City over the response to COVID. You know what

42:34

I mean? Like, I it affected all

42:36

of our lives. Or you moved out too.

42:38

Right? You were living there before

42:40

COVID. Yeah. So

42:42

it's just like this profound thing. And we we

42:44

really came out of it kind of unscathed

42:46

compared to most people. We weren't

42:49

forced to take product medical products we didn't

42:51

want to take. We we didn't lose

42:53

our jobs. We were able to continue doing what we're doing.

42:55

You know, compared to what a lot of people

42:58

went through. Because we got had nothing. But to just the

43:00

fact that this was done and

43:02

that it's just so obvious that

43:04

they were wrong about all

43:08

of it, Regardless if Joe Scarborough wants to

43:10

dig his heels in, he's just getting

43:12

annihilated online for for doing it.

43:14

You know? All

43:16

the rest of them are admitting it in one way or the

43:18

other. That's just really it's gonna

43:20

be interesting to

43:20

see, like, what effect does that

43:23

have? On the country going forward.

43:25

You'd hope at the very

43:28

least, like, that the,

43:30

you know, the next time

43:32

there's, like, the big moment, like, in March of of two thousand twenty when they're, like,

43:35

well, we just need fifteen days or something like that, that

43:37

people would just be, like, nah.

43:40

We don't buy it. And that there'd be like a a large enough percentage of people

43:42

who are just like, we do not believe

43:45

you at all. But

43:47

we'll see. We'll see about

43:49

that. I think the only way that they're gonna be

43:51

able to sell whatever the next

43:54

authoritarian measure is is there's gonna

43:56

have to be more panic that

43:58

they can actually solve.

44:00

So I think they probably exhausted

44:03

the terrorist card I think they've probably

44:05

exhausted the pandemic

44:08

card, and I think that's why

44:10

you probably hear the who talking about

44:14

food shortages or why you hear them

44:16

talking about electrical grid

44:18

failures. It's specifically because

44:20

they probably can't sell us

44:22

on those those last ones

44:23

again? Well, it's gonna be hard, you know,

44:26

it's it's gonna be hard to get that out of

44:28

climate change, I think. You know, it's

44:30

it's hard. Climate change is still it's such an

44:32

abstraction, and it's always in the

44:34

future. As no none of them can even look

44:36

at you in the eyes and be like, you know,

44:38

next month, the world's gonna it's like, no. I don't know. You're not and

44:40

that's not as real or tangible

44:42

as, like, those buildings just blew up

44:44

or this virus is coming here

44:47

now. But I guess they it's odd because if you

44:50

look at COVID, a lot

44:52

of what people hated about it was actually

44:54

the government's response

44:56

to COVID. When it gets grouped

44:58

together in people's heads about how

45:00

horrible it was. And that's why so many people were

45:02

like, hey, you gotta go comply because

45:04

it's only if you comply that what? I can get away

45:06

from the government restrictions that I'm not listening

45:08

to

45:08

anyways. The thing that's ruining your life

45:10

is the government restrictions. Oh, yeah.

45:11

You're being the dumbass and listening

45:14

to it. You can end up with a very I'm not not that

45:16

this will happen, but you can end up with a

45:18

very similar thing with kind of

45:20

green energy

45:22

where suddenly we do have massive problems of a

45:24

lack of energy or resources that we

45:26

need because of the actions that

45:30

government took And then they're saying, well, that's planet related. This is

45:32

global warming related. But really, it has nothing

45:34

to do with the global war. Like, it has everything

45:36

to do with the

45:38

government response. We could end

45:40

up in a similar

45:40

place. Howard Bauchner:

45:41

Yeah, it's an interesting point, and it's

45:44

true. Like, there would be a lot of

45:46

people in the establishment

45:48

covering COVID, who would

45:50

cover the damage of

45:52

lockdowns as the damage of COVID.

45:53

Right. You know what

45:54

I mean? Like, they'd be like, well, look what the this yeah. And then

45:56

then just kinda take it as like a given that we

45:58

had to do lockdowns. We all know we had to do lockdowns. So it's like, look what COVID did.

46:00

They made they made, oh, this horrible shit happen.

46:02

And it's like, yeah. That's you know,

46:04

it's it's really funny for most people. And

46:07

I'm not saying are exceptions to this, obviously, there

46:10

are people who died

46:12

from COVID.

46:15

And as we often pointed out should be separated from people who died

46:17

with COVID, but that's not to say that there aren't people who

46:20

died of COVID. And for

46:22

the vast majority

46:24

of them, are very,

46:26

very sick people. But that doesn't

46:28

mean it's not like awful and tragic

46:30

that they died. But for

46:32

most people,

46:34

you know, like me

46:36

and you both got it a couple times. And

46:39

to even compare what

46:42

we went through over the last few years.

46:44

Like, that was the least of it. It's like, oh,

46:46

yeah. And I got sick for a little

46:49

bit. Well, this is like the you know, like, it's

46:51

it's like to even think about even people I know

46:53

who, like, got very sick when

46:56

they got

46:58

COVID. still was probably like ten

47:00

times more of a thing that they

47:02

couldn't, you know, like, go out

47:04

to eat or couldn't go, you

47:06

know, like, to work or whatever than it was that sick

47:08

for a couple weeks. Thank

47:10

you. I don't know. It

47:12

was just

47:14

it's not even comparable. Alright, guys. Let's take

47:16

a quick

47:16

47:54

Alright. Let's get back into the

47:55

show.

47:55

It'll be interesting to see what what

47:58

happens with with all this other

48:00

stuff. It'll it'll be interesting. There's no

48:02

question as we as

48:04

we predicted very early on that the next thing is this

48:06

climate stuff. They've really

48:08

ramped that up, and that's gonna be the next thing

48:11

they're pushing now. It'll be interesting.

48:13

I'm hoping hoping that there

48:16

there is a substantial

48:18

amount of of

48:21

leftover discrediting of all

48:24

of the experts and that people

48:26

will be much more suspicious.

48:29

Of them, but we'll say. Okay. Before

48:32

we wrap this some bitch up, I don't know

48:34

if you caught this, Rob. There's this new project,

48:38

Video that just came out where they got what

48:41

was it? It was

48:44

the is a

48:47

Pfizer employee who

48:49

was, you know, caught

48:52

on one of these secret cameras that that

48:54

they do. I didn't love it. Did

48:56

you watch it? Yeah. I watched I watched a

48:58

bit of it. What

48:59

did you think? Firstly, I

49:01

I don't love the style of

49:03

Project Veritas has just propagandish

49:06

feel to to it in that, like,

49:08

sometimes they're really

49:10

dressing up smaller things

49:12

as if they're like complete bombshells. And

49:14

I I like things to be I I

49:16

guess sold to me a little bit just the

49:18

way they are. Like, you can just kinda give me the information and I I

49:21

don't love the dirty tricks that they're using now. If

49:23

you were to ex expose series

49:26

bombshells by getting people drunk in a

49:28

bar? Like, you know what I mean? If you

49:30

got if you got Dick Cheney drunk in a bar and he

49:32

said, yeah. I caused the Iraq

49:34

war because I wanted the profits and

49:36

I I exploded those

49:37

buildings. I go, yeah, that was fucking worth

49:39

it.

49:39

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're never walking away with

49:41

Bombshells like that. In this case. So you've

49:43

got some higher higher up at Pfizer. And it's not like you're getting

49:45

the guy saying, hey, we're all on

49:47

this for profits. He's

49:49

still talking about trying to problem

49:52

solve an actual problem.

49:54

And now there's a bit of a bombshell in there

49:56

and that it sounds like they are engaging

49:58

and gain a function research. And even he knows, oh, I

50:00

can't like, I I shouldn't be thrown around

50:02

this terms, which we're gonna see

50:05

in a second, but the entire it's like a little bit

50:07

too dressed up. Yeah. And I and what I'm saying is that

50:09

you didn't actually get a guy going. We're

50:12

in this

50:14

for profit. Fit, and we invented this virus, and now we're curing a virus

50:16

that we

50:16

invented. There's no you know what I mean?

50:18

You're still I I

50:21

agree. The the other bombshell that he throws

50:23

in isn't really a

50:26

bombshell, but it is

50:28

interesting how casually, he

50:30

talks about the revolving door. And

50:32

he there's a part there

50:34

where he's just basically like, well, like all

50:36

these guys are like the FDA and stuff like that who are regular, you know, there's

50:38

this revolving door. They come and they work for

50:41

our companies after that. So they're

50:43

not going to go that hard on us because they want to come make money

50:45

with us as soon as they're done there. And he goes, this is

50:47

all over throughout throughout the government. And

50:50

he's like, you know, that sucks for the country, but it's

50:52

really great for us. And so there,

50:54

you know, it's it's interesting that that's how And

50:56

it's kind of there is something kind

50:58

of, like, sociopathic about the way

51:00

he delivers that. But just to kind of back

51:02

up what you're saying, one of the major

51:05

flaws

51:05

in Project Veritas' business model.

51:08

And I know, by the way, whenever we say stuff

51:10

like this, I know I'll get some shit

51:12

from from people who listen. It's like people get very kind

51:14

of tribal these days and they're they're

51:16

like, no, they're on the good they're

51:19

side that's exposing CNN. So we're all on

51:21

their side or something like that. There's

51:23

a problem where their

51:26

their method

51:28

is usually they get, like,

51:30

hot chicks to take guys

51:32

out and, like, buy them

51:34

drinks and everyone gets gets,

51:37

you know, little buzzed, and then they start giving them all this

51:39

information. I think in this case, I think it's a gay

51:41

dude and another dude is is buying him

51:43

drinks or whatever. Or

51:45

he's feeding him. Whoever's buying the drink doesn't really

51:48

matter. But, you know, so this is

51:50

the problem is that what a

51:52

lot of that comes down to is then it's

51:54

like this bravado where they're like,

51:56

well, let me tell you what we're doing at CNN.

51:58

You know, we're actually running everything

52:00

blah blah

52:01

blah. And it's not so clear that it's accurate.

52:03

It's it's it seems in many

52:05

of these videos I've seen

52:07

quite possible that what

52:09

you got here is a dude

52:12

trying to show off to a

52:14

check on a first date and

52:16

brag about how he's really running this whole system

52:18

and gaming

52:18

it. It's a little bit different than just getting

52:21

a confession out of somebody. Does that make sense?

52:23

Like,

52:23

it's like, oh, you're like, this may not even

52:25

actually be completely accurate. He's like,

52:27

you know, people don't tend to be

52:29

incredibly honest on a first

52:30

date. Yeah. In first, you own other inflate

52:33

Fuck that Dave guy

52:36

make all the money here and I don't care about his family. I'm really the producer

52:38

on the show and then he go back and play the

52:40

Internet and then I gotta be

52:41

like, yeah, I was trying to get late. I

52:43

was talking to

52:43

everybody. Yeah.

52:46

Because I told her I own

52:48

digital. I don't know. It's funny.

52:50

But even you would just

52:52

expect I couldn't be mad. You're like, when you sponge up talking shit, try to get laid

52:55

here, dude. But it'd be cool. Be

52:57

cool. Tell us check our own

52:59

gas digital, dude. Come

53:02

on. Like, so there's just that element and then it does

53:05

at times create

53:07

the impression that there's more

53:09

of a bombshell here than really

53:11

is. Not to say, a lot of times we don't exactly know. Anyway, we could just play a little bit of it

53:13

so you kinda get a taste of it and then we'll we'll

53:15

wrap this some bitch up.

53:19

Pfizer ultimately

53:20

is thinking about mutating

53:24

COVID. Well, that's not what

53:26

we say. So public. No.

53:29

Yeah. We're storing, like, now you

53:31

know the virus keeps mutating?

53:33

Yeah. For what? Things we're exploring is, like, why don't we just maintain our distillate?

53:35

So we get fucked off. This is a week of I'm

53:37

typically, well, good vaccines. Right? Right. So we have to

53:39

do that. If we're gonna do that though, that's

53:42

a risk. To, like, as you

53:44

could imagine, no one wants to be having a

53:46

I'm a couple of mutated things like this.

53:48

It'd be, like, very controlled to make sure

53:50

that those products are mutated doesn't create something like, you know,

53:52

it's those

53:53

everywhere. It's so crazy. Is the way the virus

53:55

started a

53:55

little bit out of check, to be honest. Like, it's it makes

53:58

no sense that this virus is what I don't know. And, like

54:01

Yeah. I know. Meet Jordan Tristan Walker.

54:03

It does it does seem to me like this has

54:05

a hint of that aspect to it too. It's like don't

54:07

tell anyone. Don't tell anyone. But here,

54:09

I'm giving you There's once you're going, here's

54:11

some real top secret shit that I know that nobody else

54:14

knows. It already seems to have an element

54:16

of, like, this guy's trying to

54:18

look cool. Like,

54:20

he's he's trying to build himself up as like, oh, the

54:23

guy who knows the inside scoop about this.

54:25

And then once that

54:27

happens, I'm like, I don't

54:30

know exactly how much you can you

54:32

can take this you

54:33

know, how how much you

54:36

can take this to the bank that this is actually

54:38

accurate information? Just a thought. It is interesting that he

54:40

says in it that

54:42

he, you know, believes COVID was

54:46

man made to begin with. It's interesting that he

54:48

openly talks about the revolving door that that's

54:50

what it actually looks like on the inside that

54:52

they all know this shit. You know,

54:54

it's fairly obvious, but it's still interesting to hear from him. It's interesting

54:56

talking about kind of doing what he

54:59

claims isn't gained a function research,

55:02

but there's at least what

55:04

the layman understands as gain of function

55:08

research. So Anyway, I don't

55:10

know. I thought I thought it was interesting

55:12

a little bit of a glimpse

55:14

into what what some higher ups at

55:16

Pfizer are, you know, what they're thinking and what

55:18

they're acting like. I also do say

55:20

take it with a grain of

55:21

salt. But any final thoughts on

55:23

that? Love to

55:24

see that guy's HR meeting on Monday.

55:26

Uh-huh. Dude,

55:27

you know, I

55:27

said, you know, I used to joke around, like, I'd

55:29

say it's CNN at their morning meetings. Every

55:32

day, they'd be like,

55:34

and again, for the twenty

55:36

fifth time. If a hot

55:38

chick takes you out to get

55:40

drinks and starts asking you about the

55:42

inner workings

55:44

of CNN, That is Project Veritas. She is not

55:46

really interested in here. Like, I

55:48

wonder what what the end of these things are always

55:50

like when the cameras

55:52

go

55:52

off. And they're just like, oh,

55:54

just gotta text. My apartment's on fire. Gotta go. The even

55:56

sicker thing is if the

55:58

project Veritas journalist have already slept

56:02

these

56:02

individuals. So I'm not saying that that's the way that they do operate.

56:05

I'm just saying that

56:06

if that is the way they're operating, that's

56:10

That's, like, that that's some CIA level darkness right there.

56:12

Should

56:12

be, like, like,

56:13

that guy's

56:13

there. He's, like, okay. So I get the information out

56:15

of him. And then, like, how do I get out of there? And

56:18

they're, like,

56:19

Oh, you're

56:19

gonna have to blow them. No. No. No. Like, well,

56:21

you'll get a

56:22

really good video. No. I'm saying if they've been on a

56:24

couple dates and this is like third date,

56:26

kinda likes the person energy where they're starting to talk about their

56:28

job, hammered? Oh, boy. Yeah.

56:31

Well, who knows? Let's hope

56:33

that's not the case. Alright. Look,

56:35

we're gonna we're gonna wrap up

56:37

there. Hope to see some of

56:40

you guys out in Maryland. Yeah.

56:42

So We There you

56:44

go. Keeping it classy. Hope

56:46

to see you guys out in Maryland

56:48

and then in Dallas and in

56:51

Detroit and all over the place, comic dave smith dot

56:53

com, come find out when

56:55
