their best interest and probably ours too. If we couldn't work out all these little cyber things and other stuff. They're saying it directly. I feel like that's something you don't put in a document unless you mean it because you don't really see people talk this way do you? When you see companies that are sort of at each other and they've got a conflict they don't say directly why not be friends.…

He's just this works, this doesn't, based on the data. You know debunk this, debunk that. But if you take his impeccable persuasion skills you add it with probably a better ability to analyze things than anybody else who's in this conversation, my God he is cutting a swath through bad opinions like nothing I've ever seen.
Now interestingly he picks the domains in which if you believed the correct information you get a better result which is interesting that they even exist. Why does it exist that anybody thought that say removing defunding the police was going to help? Like why was that ever even the conversation?

I gave you a setup where there was only one expert because if you're looking at data that other stuff isn't going to help you. It's does the data look right? Did they do it right? Did they have proper controls? That sort of thing.

them had myocarditis and these are people who had been vaccinated. So he tweeted that. Now that's pretty — yeah look at this Scott is waking up right. So the doctor who's a very highly qualified expert both in cardiology and I believe virology if I'm correct, right, the two most relevant expertise. And he says that these vaccinated people, 98 percent of them and they're young, had in fact myocardi…
