the news, here are the things we know for sure. Long COVID definitely exists, and it's really bad. We also know there's no evidence whatsoever that long COVID exists. So those are both true. We know, for example, that emergency rooms are packed with people complaining of long COVID symptoms. I also know, because I saw a bunch of emergency room doctors this morning, they say there's absolutely nothing like that happening. I've seen exactly zero long COVID patients, say the other emergency room doctors.

So it is totally true that long COVID is a gigantic problem that exists for millions of people and is one of the biggest variables in the entire pandemic. And also there's no evidence of it whatsoever. So you can choose your adventure. Which one of those do you like? There is just as much evidence for both situations. Just as much. I don't know which one's true. Honestly, I don't.

Also in the news, we have new studies that have proven, that have new data proving that vaccinations are injuring people more than the COVID itself. But hold on, don't cancel me yet. But also information proving the opposite. So we simultaneously have really good, solid information that the vaccinations have saved millions of lives, and at the same time really solid information that they killed people. Both true. They're both equally true, meaning that they both have something like data, and there are people who believe each.

Now, the experts are solidly on one side on most of these questions. But do you believe the experts anymore? Well, we want to. We'd like to, wouldn't it be nice if we could?

Let's see what else we know. We also know this week that ivermectin definitely works, because there's a new study showing it, and also that ivermectin definitely doesn't work, because there are better studies that show that it doesn't work. And an observational study doesn't mean anything. So these are the things we know: long COVID exists and doesn't exist, vaccinations are good for you and not good for you, and that ivermectin totally works and totally doesn't work. That was the news today.

Now, how much of this do you think is because the people who disagree with you didn't do their homework? You think that's what's going on? Do you think the people who are on the other side from you, wherever you are on these topics, do you think that it's because they don't have good information? You think that's a problem? Well, we're going to get to that.

Here's another thing that is true and not true at the same time. Trump's recent speech was super divisive, or the opposite of that: just a lot of fun. So it's both of those things. It was super divisive, Nazi-sounding, scary, and also just a bunch of laughs. Same time, both of those. We're all looking at the same stuff. Everybody's looking at the same stuff.

We also know that Biden has been simultaneously hugely successful. Lots of major legislation, you know, he's got the unemployment rate is not bad, and things are moving in the right direction. At the same time, everything he's done is a disaster. So Biden is simultaneously one of the most successful presidents in our history and also the worst president in our history. Same time. Yeah, same time.

Let me ask you this. Today for the first time, it's sort of not a good sign. Years ago when I built my house, the one I live in, I put in an elevator because I said to myself, if I stay here long enough, eventually there's going to be a day when I don't want to walk upstairs. And so I put in an elevator. I didn't think that day would be today, but it is. This morning I actually couldn't handle the stairs. It was physically too much for me.

Now here's the weird thing. I'm in really good shape. I'm in great shape, right? Physically I can walk for miles, ride my bike for miles, go to the gym on a regular basis. But I can't walk up and down my stairs anymore. Do you know why? Do you know why I can't walk up and down my stairs anymore? I don't know eit
