ation and mind reading so it's not really fair. But I'm almost positive that if I talk to any of the people that you think are opposite in my opinion that I have the same opinion. Does that blow your mind? Is anybody's mind blown? I don't think we'd have any difference. Everything that you imagined about my different opinion is completely hallucination. And I've always known that. You know I've al…

that above a certain level of intelligence everybody agrees. It just looks like we don't. I don't think there's ever been a disagreement. Is it blowing your mind? Try something else. That was the best you had. So the best you had was something where we clearly would agree. Try something else. Something else you think that Brett believes. Oh Brett might say the adverse events justify — all right let's talk about that.

Do you think that Brett believes that the vaccinations are a bad idea for younger people? Yes or no? Would Brett say that vaccinations are a bad idea for younger people? I think you'd say yes. What do you think? God saying based on current information what would I say? I agree. I would agree. What did I say during the pandemic before we had a little bit better information? What did I say? Did you remember me saying yeah let's vaccinate those kids? Did you ever hear me say that? Have I ever suggested children should be vaccinated? Nope, nope, no. So where would we disagree?

Now here's the second question. People over 50 or let's say over 65, wherever we want to draw it, would Brett say that for people over let's say 65 would he say that people over 65 did not receive a benefit from the shot? What would he say? I think he would say I don't know. I think he would say the data shows that they had a higher survivability but what we don't know is any long-term consequences. Yes or no? Do you think he would say that the data shows — the data is sketchy but the data does show the older people got a benefit on average but that there might be long-term consequences that could be catastrophic. Would I disagree with that? Would I disagree with that? I think that's an opinion but I don't really know. No, I would agree with that. I have agreed with that as clearly as possible. So where would we disagree? Is your mind blown yet? Does it blow your mind that there's no disagreement between me and my biggest critic? He's not my biggest critic but you know just for the purposes of this conversation. Is anybody's mind blown right now at all?

Somebody says do you believe that data? No matter how many times. Can I get permission to swear? Permission to swear. All right, too many nos. All right, the too many numbers. I'm not going to do it. I'll do this without swearing.

Let me answer all of your questions. There's a new study on Scott. Do you believe it? No. There's a new study out that says the opposite of study. Do you believe it? No. There's a new study that says you were right about everything Scott. Do you believe it? What do you think I'd say? No. There's a study that disagrees with everything you said Scott. Do you believe it? What do you think my answer is? No. Try to pick up the pattern. It's all no. It's all no. Top to bottom, no exceptions. If it has anything to do with the pandemic it's all no. No. So you don't ever have to ask me again. If I tell you there's a new study that says wearing masks made your penis grow, do you have to ask me if I believe it? No. No. If there's a new study that says the vaccinations actually made you smarter, do you have to ask me if I believe it? No. No. You can skip that step. You can skip that step every time. I'm not going to change my mind on this. I'm just not. The information is not credible at all.

And basically this is the same approach I've taken on climate change. I think it's hilarious that the world was convinced we can measure the temperature of the world. I mean I don't even need to say anything about that. It's hilarious that anybody ever believed that and that we're measuring it every year and we could tell it's moving a little bit. And that's the most absurd thing anybody ever believed.

Now if I don't even believe that and that's basically accepted as pretty basic science that we — okay we can't measure everything but as long as we're consistent with the ones that we are measuring — you know it's not good enough. Not good enough.

Has health care declined since Obamacare? Well health care has declined. I don't know if it's because of Obamacare. By the way I've heard some of the most horrific health care stories recently. It's crazy. Yeah I mean I can't tell you the stories I've heard but there's one I heard recently. I wish I could tell you but it was a failure of a health care process at a level which I didn't even think was possible. I mean it was incredibly failure. Failure like oh my freaking God failure. Yeah. And it happens to be my health care provider that did it. So it turns out that there's something called a patient advocate. Have you ever heard of that? At least at Kaiser there's a patient advocate. And apparently you could make things go from nothing happening to something happening by asking to talk to that person because things are so bad th

at you can't even work it out with the people you're working with. You just have to — well that's pretty good. Yeah anyway, like an ombudsman. I don't know if it's like an ombudsman. I think it might be more than that. All right, that's all I got for now. YouTube, I'll talk to you tomorrow and maybe I'll be right about something tomorrow but not today. Bye for now. Best live stream you've ever se…
