'm not dying. I put a bunch of them in a book and mostly because I thought you would like it. Like it in the sense it'll be useful.

So all right. You know it's also weird. I feel myself getting healthier and stronger every day and that's not supposed to happen at my age, right? Like I don't think it's true necessarily but like I have a great feeling of things improving. Yeah well we love you too.

Some of you are praying for me. I appreciate that. Mike Malice recommends self-publishing. Yeah it depends where you are in the publishing world. If you're an established writer it probably makes sense to use a publisher if you're successful but maybe not a household name yet. Maybe that's different. Better all the time. That's right.

Well thank you. You're saying nice things. Yeah I'm not taking any blood pressure meds. You know I have such basic questions about science now. I'm not even sure that high blood pressure is bad for me now. Please don't take any medical advice from me. Don't take any medical advice from me here. I just have this open question. I've always believed that I run hot meaning that when I sleep when I wake up I'm like covered with sweat, right? And I just feel I run hot. Like I'm just overclocked. I'm not sure that high blood pressure for me specifically predicts. Now that could be the dumbest thing anybody ever said and I'd be open to correction, right?

If Dr. Drew tells me tomorrow Scott's got the science is unambiguous you know above some level you're definitely in trouble. Now if I hear that I will modify my opinion. But I don't trust any of the data anymore. Like none of it. And I feel as if if I do everything else right it's right. Like I'm not drinking. I'm not smoking tobacco. You know my diet is pretty clean. If I'm doing everything else right is running a little high on blood pressure gonna give me a stroke? Like can anybody know that? Because I feel like they don't study me. Am I right? Like they didn't study me. Any study they do is going to be like a big group of people isn't it? Am I right?

Now I realize this is absurd for somebody like me with no medical training whatsoever to make that kind of a statement. So again do not make any medical changes based on anything you hear from me, right? You could take your vitamin D. I feel if I tell you to lose weight and exercise I'm on safe ground. But when it comes to what meds you take do not listen to me. All right I'm just saying I don't believe the entire structure.

And then when I look at the trade-off like if the only way I could lower my blood pressure if it makes a difference is the only way I could do it was with these meds that totally destroyed my quality of life. Now I don't know. Maybe there's some other med that doesn't. Who knows? But I doubt it. I kind of doubt that lowering my blood pressure no matter what drug I use I doubt that's good for me. I could be wrong. I'm totally open to being wrong.

Somebody says is narcissistic. Is it narcissistic to say I don't trust medical science within the context of knowing it's been lying to us? It's not like I'm guessing that sometimes they give us bad information. I mean that's the most established fact you could ever establish.

Oh here's one. Jillian says really Scott regulations would allow houses to be built 150 times faster. I can't tell if you're joking. You're not. You're not imagining that I think that right? All right he's joking. Maybe he had doctors encouraging smoking at one time, right?

Ashley says when will I release my full power and save the country? Does the country need saving? I don't know. I think the country's doing okay. You know you'd have to be more specific. What is it I'm saving? Or let me ask you this. What is it that I've been persuading that you don't think is going to go my way? So you see me persuading on TikTok. Do you think I'm not going to get my way? Oh that's going to get banned. It's going to take way longer than I wanted to but TikTok's could get banned. ESG already dead man walking, right? Fentanyl. You don't think we're going to attack the cartels? I mean nothing happens instantly but you don't think that's going to happen? Of course we are. Yeah of course we are.

What is it that you want me to persuade that's not going to happen anyway? I mean I can push things. I think there's a good chance that a Republican president whoever it is is just gonna fire everybody at the top of all those organizations. DeSantis would, wouldn't he? You know I think it's somewhat unlikely but if DeSantis became the candidate I think he could tell you he was going to fire everybody in those jobs and you'd believe it. He probably would.

Anti-inflammation. Oh pronouns. So here's how you should deal with the pronouns part. Obama gave you the formula and because you don't like Obama you won't take his advice, right? Obama basically says yes it's fine to ask us to use your pronouns but don't get mad if we don't. I mean I'm that's a little bit of an oversimplification. That's pretty close, right? He's basically saying it's fine to ask for it but don't get mad at us if we get that wrong. That is exactly the right take.

You should say you can ask for anything you want and I'll ask you the same. I'll ask you not to be concerned if I use it wrong. And they demand, right? And then you demand but you should allow their demand because they have a right to demand. You don't have to do it. You have a right to demand that they not care. See the high ground. The high ground is what Obama found. Obama found the high ground on this. The high ground is yeah you could ask for anything you want. It's a free country. Good. Go ahead and ask. And then when we get it wrong get over it. Just get over it. It's not that important. I think that was exactly the right take.

Yeah if you fight it you just look like you're a bigot, right? If you tell them don't criticize me if I get some words wrong then you've turned them into the bigot. You get that? The way you're playing it you turn yourself into the bigot because that's just the way they can frame you. The way Obama suggests you play it is to turn those people into the bigot if they have a problem with you because you didn't have a problem with them, right? If they want to ask go ahead. I don't have a problem with anybody asking me for anything. But they should also not have a problem with you. You're simply asking them not to be bigots. I'm not a bigot. You can do what you like but I would like to say in consideration. That's all. That is the way to go. That is the way to go.

I saw the following argument from Piers Morgan who I believe is a illogical argument. Okay he was talking with some pro-trans person I think. And he was, no that wasn't pro-trans it was pro-identification. So somebody who was arguing that you know there are lots of genders and people should be able to identify with whatever gender they like. And then Piers had apparently tried to identify as a two-souled penguin. A two-
