ery here. But here's my question. Is any country intentionally infecting any other country? Do you think that's a thing? Because it would be horrible of course. But are you telling me that there's no natural enemy countries that haven't thought, you know it would be kind of evil but if our rival were more infected than we were that might be good for us? Does anybody think that way? I wonder. Beca…
← Previous segment →t Democrats disparaged the COVID vaccine while he was president and now they wonder why some are hesitant, says Trump. Do you buy that? That the reason people are hesitant may be in part because the Democrats disparaged it? What do you think? I don't know, maybe a little. But I can't believe that the Democrats would have influenced Republicans, right? Democrats influence Democrats. But Democrats are getting the shots now. The two populations, the black Americans and Republicans, are the ones that are having the most hesitancy. So it's in both parties. I'm not so sure that would have made a difference.
Business Insider, which is interestingly owned in part by Jeff Bezos, is printing a leaked tax plan from the Democrats. So this is not official. It's just a leaked draft. Could be real, different. And of course it's showing gigantic tax increases on the rich. What are the odds that that's going to get passed? Do you think there's any chance that the elites who run everything are going to massively tax themselves? Because if you think the elites run everything there's no chance that this is going to happen, right? No chance.
So I almost think that the size of the plans that the Democrats are pushing are designed to fail, right? Does it seem that the Democrats are asking for so much in their spending package, you know the trillions and trillions, it seems like they designed it to ask for so much they can't possibly get passed because the elites, it's the last thing they want. The last thing they want is a giant spend and tax plan because they'll get taxed. So I'm just going to put that out there. Is Nancy Pelosi smart enough to push a plan that can't get passed because she doesn't want it to get passed or her backers don't want it to get passed? I wonder. I doubt it. I doubt it. But you can't rule it out in today's world, can you? It's terrible that you can't rule it out. But I'm going to predict that getting a tax bill through that would rape the elites who actually run the country feels unlikely unless they don't really run the country. I guess we'll find out, won't we?
If you believe that the elites are running everything no matter what party they're in, it's just the elites, then the tax plan won't pass, right? Because follow the money. The money predicts, totally predicts that that tax plan won't be implemented. It totally predicts that. So how often is it wrong when money predicts? Not often. Money usually does predict. But we will find out if the elites are in charge. Because if the elites are in charge they won't let it get passed.
All right, at the press conference Rose McGowan said she's no longer a Democrat because they're the ones who harassed, stalked and stole from her in her time in Hollywood. Interesting. And I would also add to that that Republicans are better people. Republicans are, well I'll say conservatives. Conservatives are better people now. That's just an opinion of course. It's subjective. Now I don't identify as conservative. I identify as socially super liberal. Not crazy liberal, not woke to the point of crippled, but socially liberal for sure. So I'm not a conservative. But I can tell you that if I have to spend time with a certain group of people that conservatives are just on average, on average they're just nicer people. Now I'm not talking about anybody who's like full out racist or something. You know both parties have people who are just. But on average Republicans are nicer. They're just nicer. That's my experience. Now again it's purely subjective, right? Yours may differ.
All right. I believe, Scott do you think abortion at eight, five months is okay? Let me answer. So I've been asked a question about abortion. I'd like to answer that question by dropping my pants and showing you my penis. I won't do that. You're welcome. I won't do that. But the point is I have a penis. It does not produce babies. If my penis produced babies and the vagina did not, do you think I would care about a woman's opinion about whether I should be able to have an abortion? If only penises made babies, no I don't want a woman's opinion about my penis at all. None. I barely want a man's opinion but at least there would be some credibility if it came from a man.
Likewise do you think women want my penis opinion about their vagina? I don't think so. It doesn't make the decision better. Doesn't add any credibility to it. So it's not my question to so

lve. And whatever women as a group want to come up with, make it legal, make it illegal. If women are okay with it I'm going to back it. And I would ask that same standard in reverse. Should there be a topic in which it's really a man's question because it doesn't apply to women for one reason or another? I don't want to hear your opinion at all. I don't want to hear your opinion at all unless you…
