1 00:00:18,150 --> 00:00:21,810 Kevin Bae: Hey, everybody, its Kevin Bae, from kevinbae.com. 2 00:00:21,810 --> 00:00:27,600 y last name is spelled B as i boy, A E it's not B A Y, ju 3 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:36,570 t in case. But a couple of w eks, since I published a podca 4 00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:39,030 t, I kept meaning to do it, ut I keep forgetting about it 5 00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:42,540 and then it gets late in the day, and then I can't do it. 6 00:00:42,540 --> 00:00:45,930 So I skipped over the last coup e of weeks. And I'm doing thi 7 00:00:45,930 --> 00:00:50,040 one now. So it's kind of wingi g it too, because I'm not prep 8 00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:55,380 red. Like I'm, like I'm ever pre ared anyway. And, you know, the 9 00:00:55,380 --> 00:01:00,690 unny thing is, too, is like, d ring during the week, you kn 10 00:01:00,690 --> 00:01:03,570 w, I spend my time I'm blogging and I'm doing all this stuff 11 00:01:03,570 --> 00:01:10,170 you know, just spreading inform tion that I find across the web. 12 00:01:10,290 --> 00:01:16,620 And, you know, I get, I get a fe 100 you know, maybe three, fo 13 00:01:16,620 --> 00:01:22,560 r or 500 depends on the day re lly. of visitors to to my web 14 00:01:22,590 --> 00:01:25,230 ite, most people are lookin for information it see 15 00:01:25,230 --> 00:01:33,270 s on ivermectin. So you know, hat, that the information is sp 16 00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:38,130 rse. When I'm getting that many people looking for inform 17 00:01:38,130 --> 00:01:43,530 tion on ivermectin. A lot of p ople look at the story of U 18 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,710 I J. fipe. Who had to su the hospital, her family had t 19 00:01:49,710 --> 00:01:59,400 sue the hospital, in order to a low, allow them to administer o 20 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,070 had to sue the hospital to forc the administer for th 21 00:02:02,070 --> 00:02:06,180 m to administer ivermectin. Th s is why don't podcast I, I 22 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,160 on't think my thought process s so jumbled. Sometimes it 23 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:16,290 just doesn't come out. So I know what I want to say. But it's 24 00:02:16,290 --> 00:02:20,970 very difficult for me to say t on the fly. If I'm not hav 25 00:02:20,970 --> 00:02:23,100 ng a conversation, I think with somebody else, so if I'm 26 00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:28,410 just sitting here talking to my elf, that it doesn't come o 27 00:02:28,410 --> 00:02:33,810 t as easily. So I find myself ike, you know, constantly sear 28 00:02:33,810 --> 00:02:39,600 hing for that, that phrase, o , or the words to convey exactly 29 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:40,110 what I 30 00:02:47,340 --> 00:02:51,510 Let's see here. And this is one of those moments. 31 00:03:04,259 --> 00:03:07,199 Just Sorry, just checking in something, my wife had to go 32 00:03:07,199 --> 00:03:09,509 someplace, and I'm just making sure she gets there because she 33 00:03:09,509 --> 00:03:13,049 doesn't really drive around on her own that much. And we are in 34 00:03:13,049 --> 00:03:15,749 a new state only for the last year, I just want to make sure 35 00:03:15,749 --> 00:03:20,339 she gets to where she's going. So yeah, I sit here and you 36 00:03:20,339 --> 00:03:23,399 know, I get these ideas like oh, you know, it would be a great 37 00:03:24,149 --> 00:03:27,389 episode of a podcast, and there would be an idea for something 38 00:03:27,389 --> 00:03:29,609 that that I would just really like to talk about, and probably 39 00:03:29,609 --> 00:03:34,109 that I could talk about for, you know, an hour or so. And I 40 00:03:34,109 --> 00:03:36,959 forget to write it down. I don't blog it because it's not 41 00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:39,989 necessarily something that would be good for, for a blog post. 42 00:03:40,019 --> 00:03:44,159 It's not really direct information, you know, or 43 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:48,029 something that I can, that I can link to sometimes it is, but 44 00:03:48,029 --> 00:03:51,059 quite often it's just like, Oh, you know, I've got this bug in 45 00:03:51,059 --> 00:03:57,599 my brain. And it'd be good to just talk about that. You know, 46 00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:00,869 and, and when I look across the web, I don't really see anybody 47 00:04:00,869 --> 00:04:03,719 talking about it, either. But the problem is, by the time I 48 00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:06,479 get behind, or I get to the point where Okay, I can get 49 00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:10,349 behind the microphone. I haven't made a note about it, I haven't 50 00:04:10,349 --> 00:04:17,099 written it down. So the idea goes right back out of my head. 51 00:04:19,409 --> 00:04:22,619 You know, I don't know I gotta get better at this. I carry a 52 00:04:22,619 --> 00:04:24,659 cell phone. So you figure I could I could write down some 53 00:04:24,659 --> 00:04:27,389 notes or just type out some quick notes just to keep it 54 00:04:27,389 --> 00:04:34,439 there for you know, podcasting ideas. You know, so that that's 55 00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:39,959 mainly why to that, when I do podcast I podcast off of my my 56 00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:44,789 blog, because it's things that were bugging me so I take the 57 00:04:44,789 --> 00:04:48,389 time to actually write them down or link to it, you know, for 58 00:04:48,389 --> 00:04:53,339 things that I in mostly I do that. So, you know, I make a 59 00:04:53,339 --> 00:04:59,999 note. It's really for myself. So you know, I found this item in 60 00:04:59,999 --> 00:05:02,969 So I tried to keep it there. So I can I can reference it again 61 00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:05,999 seeing. So later on when I'm talking to somebody else is 62 00:05:05,999 --> 00:05:11,159 like, No, no, I found this. And you know, this proves that or, 63 00:05:11,189 --> 00:05:16,139 you know, maybe purports to prove something or disprove 64 00:05:16,139 --> 00:05:20,159 something. Well, she arrived. Let me just acknowledge that 65 00:05:20,159 --> 00:05:20,909 really quick. 66 00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:36,660 just telling her Okay, and good job. She found her way. So let 67 00:05:36,660 --> 00:05:42,660 me Let's see, what was the story found earlier today that in the 68 00:05:42,660 --> 00:05:51,570 infrastructure bill that was just passed the house for some 69 00:05:51,570 --> 00:05:56,550 reason inside of an infrastructure bill. We have 70 00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:06,300 regulations on cryptocurrency. I don't understand what that why 71 00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:09,180 they would do that. And here, here's what they said in the 72 00:06:09,180 --> 00:06:12,780 Wall Street Journal. They reported the provision in the 73 00:06:12,780 --> 00:06:15,690 bill requires anyone handling cryptocurrency transactions to 74 00:06:15,690 --> 00:06:18,930 report gross proceeds to the Internal Revenue Service along 75 00:06:18,930 --> 00:06:22,470 with the names and addresses of the parties. It's intended to 76 00:06:22,470 --> 00:06:26,070 capture billions of dollars in tax revenue, the IRS says it 77 00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:28,950 lost each year and would also give law enforcement and 78 00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:31,830 regulators visibility into Mark into a market in which bad 79 00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:35,070 actors can to easily operate and that honestly, they don't do 80 00:06:35,070 --> 00:06:39,510 this for cash. for regular old cash, if I'm going to pay 81 00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:45,570 somebody $100 and it's in cash money, not by debit card, not by 82 00:06:45,570 --> 00:06:50,730 credit card. Nobody's tracking that if I don't report it as 83 00:06:50,730 --> 00:06:55,290 income if somebody gives me $1,000. If they don't report the 84 00:06:55,290 --> 00:06:58,980 expense, the IRS will never know about that. So what is the point 85 00:06:59,010 --> 00:07:03,660 of this cryptocurrency stuff? It seems to me this is this will 86 00:07:03,660 --> 00:07:07,080 drive it deep underground. Because you know, how many 87 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,890 transactions there are? Isn't that like, you know, trading in 88 00:07:10,890 --> 00:07:14,880 Bitcoin? Nobody's actually paying anybody in a Bitcoin. If 89 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,580 the price is too high, it's like 40 I don't know what the price 90 00:07:17,580 --> 00:07:19,830 is today. Last time, I remember somebody mentioning it was over 91 00:07:19,830 --> 00:07:25,260 $40,000 for a single Bitcoin. So nobody, nobody's paying that. 92 00:07:25,530 --> 00:07:27,960 Nobody's gonna nobody's walking into a dealership and buying a 93 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:34,650 car with a Bitcoin. So most of the transactions right now, are 94 00:07:34,890 --> 00:07:37,410 there micro payments, they're smaller transactions, and 95 00:07:37,410 --> 00:07:40,830 they're off the blockchain. They're, I don't know if that's 96 00:07:40,830 --> 00:07:44,250 most, but a good deal of them now are done on what's called 97 00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:48,210 the lightning network. And on the lightning network, you pay 98 00:07:48,210 --> 00:07:53,820 people in satoshis satoshis. And I forget what the denomination 99 00:07:53,820 --> 00:07:56,370 is, because I'm still all new to it as well. And looking into it. 100 00:07:56,370 --> 00:07:58,770 It's like a billionth of a Bitcoin or something like that. 101 00:07:59,850 --> 00:08:03,000 So it's really maybe maybe billions, I don't know. It's 102 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,750 some fraction of a Bitcoin. Maybe it could just look it up. 103 00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:27,180 Since I am here. Satoshi value Bitcoin Satoshi. So one, let's 104 00:08:27,180 --> 00:08:36,900 see. So I said, Toshi, can I edit any of this crap? Okay. One 105 00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:49,410 Satoshi is point 00048 cents. You know, so it's not even it's 106 00:08:49,890 --> 00:08:55,290 not even half of one cent. It is. Oh, jeez, I mean that that's 107 00:08:55,290 --> 00:09:02,580 ridiculous. So, it is nothing, it is point zero zeros zeros 108 00:09:02,580 --> 00:09:12,600 00001 of a Bitcoin. So a lot of transactions are done that way. 109 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:21,390 Where you're just trading really tiny micropayments. So if 110 00:09:21,390 --> 00:09:26,310 somebody's listening to this podcast using a value for value, 111 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,800 podcast app that can stream satoshis to me on the fly as 112 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,340 they listen. If I end up with you know, somebody gives me a 113 00:09:35,340 --> 00:09:42,540 500 Satoshi boost, which, by the way, would be appreciated. If 114 00:09:42,540 --> 00:09:46,800 somebody gives me that, that type of boost, but I never 115 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,920 converted, it's just sitting there in the wallet. You know, 116 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,820 it's not it's still not very easy to turn a crypto dollar or 117 00:09:53,820 --> 00:10:00,900 crypto Satoshi or a Bitcoin into actual money. It's not easy, 118 00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:06,960 it's a pain in the ass. Is that is that widespread? So until you 119 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,140 actually turn it into money into US dollars or some other 120 00:10:10,140 --> 00:10:14,220 currency, what is it actually worth? This has been my argument 121 00:10:14,220 --> 00:10:20,010 with Bitcoin forever. Yes, I can, you know, people can trade 122 00:10:20,070 --> 00:10:27,690 in Bitcoin, a cryptographic token basically that you pass to 123 00:10:27,690 --> 00:10:28,500 somebody else. 124 00:10:29,940 --> 00:10:33,900 It doesn't really exist anywhere. It's only in in your 125 00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:39,090 mind. Now, generally, you know, there's not that much difference 126 00:10:39,090 --> 00:10:42,630 between that and the US dollar, the US dollar has nothing behind 127 00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:49,770 it. It has no no actual asset have an A value behind it, you 128 00:10:49,770 --> 00:10:55,140 know, we left the gold standard long time ago. So the thing that 129 00:10:55,140 --> 00:10:59,250 is sitting behind the dollar is the US government and the US 130 00:10:59,250 --> 00:11:06,120 military. What's sitting behind the Bitcoin? You know, the only 131 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,390 thing sitting behind the Bitcoin are people using it, and I'm not 132 00:11:09,390 --> 00:11:14,670 discounting it, I'm just saying that as as something of value, 133 00:11:15,420 --> 00:11:19,290 without a government behind it, and an army to backup that 134 00:11:19,290 --> 00:11:25,710 currency. What do we actually have? So I know, you know, the 135 00:11:25,710 --> 00:11:28,800 US government there must be afraid of it otherwise, why, why 136 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:35,040 tuck this into an infrastructure bill? You know, and what does 137 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,880 cryptocurrency have to do with infrastructure, this, this kind 138 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,690 of shit drives me nuts, too, when you look at the news, and 139 00:11:42,690 --> 00:11:48,930 they report on an infrastructure bill, an infrastructure bill to 140 00:11:48,930 --> 00:11:55,200 the common man to the normal man to to, let's say person, you 141 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,960 can't just say man anymore. When I say man, I mean man in 142 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,580 general, meaning everybody human beings, but to to a normal 143 00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:09,510 person. Infrastructure means infrastructure, planes, trains, 144 00:12:09,660 --> 00:12:16,350 automobiles, trucks, roads, bridges, airports, terminals, 145 00:12:16,380 --> 00:12:17,340 bus terminals. 146 00:12:23,010 --> 00:12:28,620 It doesn't mean cryptocurrency. It doesn't mean you know, all 147 00:12:28,620 --> 00:12:32,580 these other things, either its infrastructure, or it's not, you 148 00:12:32,580 --> 00:12:41,580 cannot keep bending the definition. Anyway. So think 149 00:12:41,580 --> 00:12:51,420 about how think about how complicated this would be. for 150 00:12:51,420 --> 00:12:54,780 everybody to report the names and addresses of everybody who 151 00:12:54,780 --> 00:13:04,350 transact with them in crypto. You know, one of my, I can't 152 00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:09,420 remember who is this podcast or the other podcast, but somebody 153 00:13:10,110 --> 00:13:14,340 shot me a couple 1000 satoshis. You know, they listened for a 154 00:13:14,340 --> 00:13:20,820 little while, and they gave me a couple of boosts. So a couple 155 00:13:20,820 --> 00:13:25,770 1000 satoshis. It's not a it's virtually no money. Let's see, 156 00:13:25,770 --> 00:13:32,850 let's let's go back to that little currency evaluator. And 157 00:13:32,850 --> 00:13:41,640 let's say okay, 2000 satoshis. It's not even $1 it is 98 cents, 158 00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:47,220 97.9 cents, so not even $1. So for for that dollar, 2000 159 00:13:47,220 --> 00:13:54,000 satoshis. I have to report somebody's name and address. How 160 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,790 does? How does that make sense? Can you imagine the accounting 161 00:13:59,790 --> 00:14:04,320 nightmare? I mean, of throwing all that together? I don't even 162 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,080 know who gave it to me? How am I supposed to get that 163 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:12,270 information? This is all just done through electronic means by 164 00:14:12,270 --> 00:14:16,590 just saying okay. You know, I truly don't even understand the 165 00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:21,360 total mechanisms at work that move satoshis from one wallet to 166 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,940 another. So how am I supposed to report that? How is anybody 167 00:14:26,940 --> 00:14:30,300 supposed to report that this thing is so new, but given given 168 00:14:30,300 --> 00:14:34,680 that they're putting this in an infrastructure bill, they must 169 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:43,650 be afraid of it somehow. And with with China moving to their 170 00:14:43,650 --> 00:14:49,140 digital Yuan, I believe that's how you pronounce it. The US is 171 00:14:49,140 --> 00:14:51,690 kind of sitting behind the curve. Now it's easy for China. 172 00:14:51,780 --> 00:14:55,260 China's a closed communist system. They have their credit 173 00:14:55,260 --> 00:14:59,310 score, that credit score, their social, I forgot what they call 174 00:14:59,310 --> 00:15:03,210 it, their socialist But if you don't abide, you know, if you're 175 00:15:03,210 --> 00:15:05,580 if you don't behave right, they lower your score, and then 176 00:15:05,580 --> 00:15:08,850 suddenly you can't do things you can't get into place, it's gonna 177 00:15:08,850 --> 00:15:10,560 be much like our vaccine past. 178 00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:31,140 So the United States Hold on one second. My wife has stories to 179 00:15:31,140 --> 00:15:34,260 tell, she's got a doctor's visit. So it's gonna be 180 00:15:34,260 --> 00:15:41,940 interesting. Whoops, I should probably get that off of that 181 00:15:41,940 --> 00:15:48,540 doesn't belong there. All right. I said, I totally lost my train 182 00:15:48,540 --> 00:15:52,110 of thought I cannot communicate with the outside world. While I 183 00:15:52,110 --> 00:15:56,550 tried to do this, I just I lose it, I lose my train of thought. 184 00:15:56,730 --> 00:16:02,880 So what I should do is, maybe I should put that here. Out of 185 00:16:03,060 --> 00:16:11,880 camera shot. So since the last time I did a podcast, it seems 186 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,260 like the entire world is different. Seems like the whole 187 00:16:16,260 --> 00:16:26,790 world has changed. We had the shit show in Afghanistan. We 188 00:16:26,790 --> 00:16:28,080 have President Biden 189 00:16:34,950 --> 00:16:41,580 making craziest decisions, leaving people behind an Afghan 190 00:16:41,610 --> 00:16:45,600 in Afghanistan, they don't even know how many Americans are 191 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:52,890 still there. How is it after a week and a half, at least a week 192 00:16:52,890 --> 00:17:01,290 and a half, probably almost two weeks now. That nobody has been 193 00:17:01,290 --> 00:17:08,190 tasked to get an accurate number of Americans that are still in 194 00:17:08,190 --> 00:17:17,100 Afghanistan, outside the airport area. I really don't understand 195 00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:21,750 that. And that. And that on top of the fact that President Biden 196 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:27,720 is not taking questions from the media, the fact that the media 197 00:17:27,750 --> 00:17:37,110 even turned on him talking about his blown exit from Afghanistan. 198 00:17:39,780 --> 00:17:43,980 Now on my blog, I've written about it a bunch of times, I am 199 00:17:43,980 --> 00:17:46,890 not for staying in Afghanistan that, you know, I'm I'm of a 200 00:17:46,890 --> 00:17:49,410 mind that we should have never been there in the first place. 201 00:17:50,940 --> 00:17:54,900 After you know, I'm not against the attack on Afghanistan post 202 00:17:54,900 --> 00:18:01,680 911. I was all for that. But I was against staying there. I 203 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,260 didn't see any reason that we should, especially after what 204 00:18:04,260 --> 00:18:07,710 happened with the Soviet Union back in their day was like, why 205 00:18:07,710 --> 00:18:09,870 would you want to get why would you want to mess around in a 206 00:18:09,870 --> 00:18:14,700 country like that? You know, it seemed also that we had the 207 00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:22,650 capability to blow in there. And, you know, blow shit up and 208 00:18:22,650 --> 00:18:26,490 kill the people that we think that we're responsible, you 209 00:18:26,490 --> 00:18:30,420 know, and really ruin their capabilities of continuing this. 210 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,860 And then you leave, and then you tell them, you know, what if, if 211 00:18:34,860 --> 00:18:40,170 we see that this is happening, again, anything is building up, 212 00:18:40,170 --> 00:18:43,110 we'll be back and we'll, we'll take care of it again, just like 213 00:18:43,110 --> 00:18:46,740 we did before. And that's better than leaving a standing army 214 00:18:46,740 --> 00:18:51,540 inside of a country, that you're not welcoming. That's hot, 215 00:18:51,540 --> 00:18:58,980 that's hostile to you. You know, where the possibility of your 216 00:18:58,980 --> 00:19:01,710 friends and neighbors that are in the military go over there 217 00:19:01,710 --> 00:19:05,850 and they get killed for what? You know, blowing in, they're 218 00:19:05,850 --> 00:19:11,010 blowing the shit out of them. And with the warning that if we 219 00:19:11,010 --> 00:19:16,110 see this type of action happening again, we'll come 220 00:19:16,110 --> 00:19:18,420 back, we'll come back and we'll blow the shit out of you again, 221 00:19:18,660 --> 00:19:22,170 that should be enough of a threat. Because prior to this, 222 00:19:22,170 --> 00:19:24,840 Afghanistan really wasn't much of a threat other than these, 223 00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:29,910 you know, damast jamokes wanting to practice international 224 00:19:29,910 --> 00:19:33,660 terrorism and, and you know, the whole thing around 911. Anyways, 225 00:19:33,660 --> 00:19:36,060 like we get to relive all of it all over again, every time we 226 00:19:36,060 --> 00:19:39,780 talk about it. You know, they weren't at Afghans. They were 227 00:19:39,780 --> 00:19:45,900 Saudis. Maybe they've set up their training camps or whatever 228 00:19:45,900 --> 00:19:51,150 in Afghanistan, but you know, who the hell knows anymore? You 229 00:19:51,150 --> 00:19:54,090 can't trust you can barely trust anything that's being reported. 230 00:19:55,740 --> 00:20:00,150 But let's just take everything at face value. Okay. The 231 00:20:00,150 --> 00:20:04,770 terrorism plot was was created over there. So we went over 232 00:20:04,770 --> 00:20:12,540 there and we blew shit up. We, you know, routed the Taliban. 233 00:20:14,010 --> 00:20:17,190 And we push them back, you know, most of them ran away to 234 00:20:17,190 --> 00:20:22,140 Pakistan. Once we did that we should have left. That was the 235 00:20:22,140 --> 00:20:26,550 mistake the Soviet Union made, they stayed. So we made the same 236 00:20:26,550 --> 00:20:31,230 mistake, but for a longer time, 20 years, 20 years and you know, 237 00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:34,350 I've seen a bunch of different numbers, it's somewhere between 238 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,030 one and a half to two and a half trillion dollars, which is, by 239 00:20:39,030 --> 00:20:42,690 the way smaller than the budget Buster that they're trying to 240 00:20:42,690 --> 00:20:47,970 pass, I guess. Or maybe it did pass through the house, through 241 00:20:47,970 --> 00:20:50,430 some reconciliation mechanism, it's gonna go to the Senate, 242 00:20:50,730 --> 00:20:53,670 three and a half trillion dollars that that puppy is. So 243 00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:57,960 we it's more than what we spent in 20 years in Afghanistan with 244 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:05,280 and think about racks. The dog does not know that I'm 245 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,240 podcasting. I don't know what her problem is, probably needs 246 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,020 to go out. I started this without leaving the letting the 247 00:21:13,020 --> 00:21:13,590 dogs out. 248 00:21:18,930 --> 00:21:25,110 But so we spent, you know, think, think about the massive 249 00:21:25,110 --> 00:21:33,720 military effort. All the planes, you know, the Air Force, the 250 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:40,020 Humvees, the guns, the troops, the bases, all the all that 251 00:21:40,020 --> 00:21:46,290 money that went to all that stuff is less than the internet. 252 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,600 That's not the that's not even including the infrastructure 253 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,620 package, which is probably at least one Afghanistan. That's 254 00:21:52,620 --> 00:21:57,060 like a million, trillion and a half. So but the budget, three 255 00:21:57,060 --> 00:22:03,450 and a half trillion, is more than is like 50% more than in 256 00:22:03,450 --> 00:22:07,200 Afghanistan. That's how much money that they're going to 257 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:15,330 print and spend. That's, it's it's lunacy. And if you add in 258 00:22:15,450 --> 00:22:18,660 the one and a half trillion, well, now we're talking about $5 259 00:22:18,690 --> 00:22:21,420 trillion, which is over two Afghanistan's 260 00:22:30,569 --> 00:22:37,559 you know, what's come across my my brain that with this 261 00:22:37,679 --> 00:22:44,519 Afghanistan fiasco is, you know, Biden Biden is correct and 262 00:22:44,519 --> 00:22:47,789 leaving. He's not correct in the way it was handled, you know, 263 00:22:47,789 --> 00:22:51,569 and I think that's universal with everybody is that we should 264 00:22:51,569 --> 00:22:57,689 have removed more of the civilians, the American citizens 265 00:22:57,689 --> 00:23:01,139 and the Afghans that were assisting the United States, we 266 00:23:01,139 --> 00:23:03,569 should have removed them from the country, before the 267 00:23:03,569 --> 00:23:10,709 military, military military started pulling out. But with 268 00:23:10,709 --> 00:23:16,439 the media, also turning on Biden, so hard, CNN, MSNBC, 269 00:23:16,439 --> 00:23:21,329 even, you know, two of the networks that are so 270 00:23:21,329 --> 00:23:27,179 ridiculously partisan towards democrats also went after him. 271 00:23:27,209 --> 00:23:32,939 ABC went after him. Can't you know, contradicting the 272 00:23:32,939 --> 00:23:37,289 president immediately after a speech? Yeah, I blogged about 273 00:23:37,289 --> 00:23:40,379 one at one of those he gave his speech. And, you know, I just 274 00:23:41,099 --> 00:23:45,779 happen to be watching. So I wanted to see what the reporters 275 00:23:45,779 --> 00:23:48,209 were gonna say afterwards, because I knew from all the 276 00:23:48,209 --> 00:23:52,319 other reporting before Biden even spoke that what he's saying 277 00:23:52,349 --> 00:23:57,629 seems like a lie. And when the reporters came back on, that's 278 00:23:57,629 --> 00:24:00,779 exactly what they said, what he just said is untrue, is not 279 00:24:00,779 --> 00:24:08,099 true. So with the network's directly contradicting him, they 280 00:24:08,099 --> 00:24:10,679 didn't call him a liar. They just said it was untrue, which I 281 00:24:10,679 --> 00:24:16,529 wish they would just come out and call him a liar. But so with 282 00:24:16,529 --> 00:24:20,579 the network's going after him, and it just seems to me like 283 00:24:20,579 --> 00:24:27,359 maybe there's a concerted effort to not leave by maybe the upper, 284 00:24:27,929 --> 00:24:30,089 I don't know, brass and the military, the intelligence 285 00:24:30,089 --> 00:24:33,839 services, and, you know, the media seems like they're so full 286 00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:39,419 of intelligence service people. You know, they they do employ 287 00:24:39,449 --> 00:24:43,169 people that are from the FBI and the CIA or the FBI is supposed 288 00:24:43,169 --> 00:24:45,929 to be domestic net International, even though now 289 00:24:45,929 --> 00:24:51,899 they have the FBI goes everywhere. But I don't I don't 290 00:24:51,899 --> 00:24:55,799 think these people want to leave. I don't know why they 291 00:24:55,799 --> 00:24:59,699 want to stay. You know, if it's the drug trade, you know, maybe 292 00:24:59,699 --> 00:25:03,269 I'm not Leave here with the poppies. And, you know, I just 293 00:25:03,269 --> 00:25:07,919 don't i don't buy that, you know, my mind tells me that this 294 00:25:07,919 --> 00:25:12,749 is this has been a thing with them since the george HW Bush 295 00:25:12,749 --> 00:25:16,649 days. And the neo cons in the George W. Bush days in the 296 00:25:16,649 --> 00:25:24,689 clinton days to that, for some reason think that the United 297 00:25:24,689 --> 00:25:28,499 States needs to be the world's police. 298 00:25:35,430 --> 00:25:40,590 You know that I think that's wrong and as taxpayer taxpayer 299 00:25:40,590 --> 00:25:41,730 dollars just wasted. 300 00:25:48,210 --> 00:25:53,010 So, you know, I think that that might be the concerted effort 301 00:25:53,010 --> 00:25:57,300 that what they want to do is they want to stay so they made 302 00:25:57,300 --> 00:26:01,440 sure and they don't give it the people at the top that 303 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,840 orchestrate this shit, I don't believe they give a damn about 304 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,760 people's lives at all. So I think they're like, okay, Biden 305 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,480 is going to be adamant on leaving at a certain date. So 306 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,230 we're gonna make it the shit show that it should be. And they 307 00:26:16,230 --> 00:26:23,430 did. You know, and Biden perhaps being not the sharpest guy 308 00:26:23,430 --> 00:26:26,940 anymore. I mean, I never liked Joe Biden to begin with. But in 309 00:26:26,940 --> 00:26:33,510 his advanced age, where he seems like he does suffer from mild 310 00:26:33,510 --> 00:26:37,980 dementia, he doesn't have the mental capacity or the power to 311 00:26:37,980 --> 00:26:44,640 see what's happening, and to push back on it. So I think with 312 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:49,680 his diminished capacity in a military and an intelligence 313 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,790 service, that doesn't want to leave Afghanistan, they want 314 00:26:53,790 --> 00:27:00,840 their fingers and everybody's country. They were willing to 315 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:07,470 sacrifice and then willing to sacrifice American lives. I 316 00:27:07,470 --> 00:27:12,120 don't know another way to put it. You know, I saw a story in 317 00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:16,230 the Oh shit, I forgot what it was the la times maybe about 318 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:22,890 some students that went over to Afghanistan and are still 319 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,760 stranded there, even though even though Jen Psaki says nobody 320 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,440 stranded. It said that they're stranded, they went with 321 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:36,510 teachers, I guess some students, and they're stuck. I couldn't 322 00:27:36,510 --> 00:27:40,230 get those people out. I really don't understand what the end 323 00:27:40,230 --> 00:27:44,940 game is here. With this withdrawal. They got six days, 324 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,140 six days to get everybody out. It's probably it's less than x. 325 00:27:49,140 --> 00:27:51,510 I don't know what time it is in Afghanistan. So maybe five days 326 00:27:52,710 --> 00:27:56,310 to get everybody out. The Taliban has drawn a hard line 327 00:27:56,310 --> 00:27:58,200 and Biden doesn't seem to want to cross it. 328 00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:09,749 I don't know. And then let's see since last time, so much has 329 00:28:09,749 --> 00:28:15,839 happened. The Larry elder campaign for governor in the 330 00:28:15,839 --> 00:28:20,609 state of California seems to be taking off, at least, if 331 00:28:20,609 --> 00:28:26,249 anything is to be taken from Gavin Newsom's recent 332 00:28:26,249 --> 00:28:30,749 appearances in media. He's kind of losing a shed a little bit. 333 00:28:31,979 --> 00:28:37,319 And even at the LA Times with that beautiful, racist, 334 00:28:37,829 --> 00:28:41,189 headline, opinion piece that Larry elder is the black face of 335 00:28:41,189 --> 00:28:47,219 white supremacy. You've been warned. You can always count on 336 00:28:48,269 --> 00:28:56,189 the legacy media to pull out that race card. You know, that's 337 00:28:56,189 --> 00:29:02,069 why early on when Larry elder said he was running. You know, I 338 00:29:02,069 --> 00:29:06,329 blogged it. And I said, Well, if you know get especially given 339 00:29:06,329 --> 00:29:11,579 California's politics, their Liberal Democrat, far to the 340 00:29:11,579 --> 00:29:17,369 left, you know, very woke style of politics, very socialist 341 00:29:17,399 --> 00:29:25,289 style of politics, very black lives matter style of politics. 342 00:29:27,179 --> 00:29:30,659 You know, I said that if you don't if you live in California, 343 00:29:30,659 --> 00:29:34,619 you're registered to vote in California. And you don't vote 344 00:29:34,619 --> 00:29:40,499 to recall Newsome and vote for Larry elder. As your next 345 00:29:40,499 --> 00:29:44,669 governor, you are a racist. There's no other way to look at 346 00:29:44,669 --> 00:29:49,559 it. And looking at the world through today's lens and the 347 00:29:49,559 --> 00:29:56,219 identity politics that that people employ. It seems obvious 348 00:29:56,219 --> 00:30:00,989 to me that you cannot cast a vote for anybody else. But Larry 349 00:30:00,989 --> 00:30:07,649 elder he's a native to California. He's African 350 00:30:07,649 --> 00:30:14,459 American. The only problem is that he's conservative. You 351 00:30:14,459 --> 00:30:17,399 know, I I've heard his radio show a couple of times is that 352 00:30:17,399 --> 00:30:21,539 something I really listened to? His his style is not, it's not a 353 00:30:21,539 --> 00:30:28,199 style I like to listen to. So I don't really know, I don't know 354 00:30:28,199 --> 00:30:31,859 if he's republican conservative, or if he's libertarian type 355 00:30:31,859 --> 00:30:36,749 conservative. You know, I see them throwing out a lot of stuff 356 00:30:37,079 --> 00:30:39,239 about them, you know, they call them conservative, they call 357 00:30:39,239 --> 00:30:41,909 them libertarian, I don't know which ones which Exactly. 358 00:30:43,589 --> 00:30:45,239 Because they're not the same thing. Republican and 359 00:30:45,239 --> 00:30:49,949 libertarian are not the same thing. I i self identify as 360 00:30:49,949 --> 00:30:56,999 libertarian. With the basic, my basic premise for my political 361 00:30:57,059 --> 00:31:03,239 stances is that, you know, I have a healthy respect for the 362 00:31:03,239 --> 00:31:09,329 genius of the US Constitution. Its separation of powers, and 363 00:31:09,329 --> 00:31:14,009 its protection of rights. The Bill of Rights in particular, 364 00:31:14,009 --> 00:31:18,149 that protect us, supposed to protect us from what the 365 00:31:18,149 --> 00:31:20,909 government tries to do to us, it's not working out too well, 366 00:31:20,909 --> 00:31:26,999 right now with COVID. But that's the general premise, the Bill of 367 00:31:26,999 --> 00:31:30,809 Rights is there to protect the individual from the power of 368 00:31:30,809 --> 00:31:35,249 government. So I have a healthy respect for the US Constitution, 369 00:31:35,249 --> 00:31:40,859 I keep a copy on my desk, a little tiny pocket copy by the 370 00:31:40,859 --> 00:31:43,619 Cato Institute, and I can't remember how I came across this 371 00:31:43,619 --> 00:31:49,439 one. But it's a little tiny constitution, including the 372 00:31:49,439 --> 00:31:54,389 Declaration of Independence. Just in case, you know, cuz I 373 00:31:54,389 --> 00:31:56,429 don't remember everything that's in there is not even it, but 374 00:31:56,429 --> 00:32:00,539 it's not a complicated document. So this, it's so short, that it 375 00:32:00,539 --> 00:32:08,309 makes it easy to reference, you can just go through it. So 376 00:32:09,629 --> 00:32:16,469 combined with the US Constitution, the concept of 377 00:32:17,339 --> 00:32:22,589 just leave people alone, leave people alone, let them do what 378 00:32:22,589 --> 00:32:27,809 they want to do, providing it does not infringe upon your own 379 00:32:27,809 --> 00:32:33,629 rights. Or, you know, like, somebody can smoke a cigarette 380 00:32:36,329 --> 00:32:40,799 outside of my house, I don't care if it's outside. You know, 381 00:32:41,249 --> 00:32:45,119 and if the smoke blowing in my face is bugging me, I would ask 382 00:32:45,119 --> 00:32:49,259 them to move or maybe to put it out And to me, that's that's 383 00:32:49,259 --> 00:32:53,549 enough. I don't care if they smoke. I don't care if they 384 00:32:53,549 --> 00:32:59,279 smoke marijuana. I don't care if they're blowing up meth as long 385 00:32:59,279 --> 00:33:02,489 as long as as long as they leave me alone. You can do whatever 386 00:33:02,489 --> 00:33:03,629 you want to yourself. 387 00:33:08,910 --> 00:33:13,620 And that, you know, that also has that goes with COVID COVID. 388 00:33:13,620 --> 00:33:17,280 And the vaccines and and all this craziness we're going 389 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,820 through you look at Australia, that is just I feel those people 390 00:33:20,820 --> 00:33:22,860 need to be liberated. I don't know how they're going to get 391 00:33:22,860 --> 00:33:25,890 out from underneath the jackbooted thugs of the 392 00:33:25,890 --> 00:33:31,320 government over there. But you look at COVID just with what we 393 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:39,390 know with what the actual facts are that haven't changed. That 394 00:33:39,450 --> 00:33:45,960 SARS COBie two mainly infects Oh, well, I guess I shouldn't 395 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:52,980 say it can infect everybody. But severe COVID-19 severe, you 396 00:33:52,980 --> 00:33:56,280 know, the COVID-19 is the disease SARS. COVID. Two is the 397 00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:04,560 virus. So, severe cases of COVID-19 for the most part, like 398 00:34:04,590 --> 00:34:08,190 over 95% there's so many different numbers that come out. 399 00:34:08,190 --> 00:34:13,530 Nobody, nobody seems to tell the truth, but it's well over 95% of 400 00:34:13,530 --> 00:34:19,080 only those that are infected with covid 19 survive with no 401 00:34:19,620 --> 00:34:20,280 problems 402 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:35,610 you know, the other percentage they in general have three main 403 00:34:35,610 --> 00:34:43,470 problems one of the three either they're very old they are obese 404 00:34:44,940 --> 00:34:47,820 or, and or they have type two diabetes and you know, a lot of 405 00:34:47,820 --> 00:34:50,460 times obesity and type two diabetes are they run together? 406 00:34:50,610 --> 00:34:53,940 It's not always true, but it has, you know, I think for the 407 00:34:53,940 --> 00:34:55,290 most part, it is true 408 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:05,610 Those are the people that are extreme high risk. So now we 409 00:35:05,610 --> 00:35:09,420 have a vaccine. We have three vaccines at least in in the 410 00:35:09,420 --> 00:35:20,310 United States, Pfizer, moderna, Johnson and Johnson. So anybody 411 00:35:20,340 --> 00:35:24,210 who feels they are at high risk or even if they're germaphobe 412 00:35:24,210 --> 00:35:30,090 and paranoid hypochondriacs. They feel they need to be 413 00:35:30,090 --> 00:35:39,510 protected. You now have those options. You know, it, you know, 414 00:35:39,780 --> 00:35:42,600 and all the news reporting around the vaccines, stuff is 415 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,930 everywhere. You can tell if the stuff is good for you or bad for 416 00:35:45,930 --> 00:35:51,180 you effective not effective. Reporting is everywhere. But we 417 00:35:51,180 --> 00:35:55,830 now have the you know, if they work, we have the means. So you 418 00:35:55,830 --> 00:36:00,510 can take a vaccine and you're supposed to be protected. So 419 00:36:00,510 --> 00:36:07,470 then what? We know me being an unvaccinated individual, what 420 00:36:07,470 --> 00:36:12,510 threat MIT you if you can now protect yourself? You know, 421 00:36:12,510 --> 00:36:16,050 there may have been an argument before, before the vaccines, 422 00:36:16,050 --> 00:36:18,960 okay, you got to mitigate, you've got to stay distance, you 423 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,880 got to wear your stupid mask. You know, even though I don't 424 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:28,530 buy any of those arguments, because of the percentage of 425 00:36:28,530 --> 00:36:32,340 people who actually get seriously ill and die. 426 00:36:37,740 --> 00:36:43,350 But with the vaccine, I no longer pose a threat to anybody. 427 00:36:45,510 --> 00:36:47,970 You know, the only people I pose a threat to would be other 428 00:36:47,970 --> 00:36:51,060 unvaccinated people. And everybody is now made their 429 00:36:51,060 --> 00:36:54,120 choice. We're a nation of individuals, we made our 430 00:36:54,120 --> 00:37:05,160 choices. So where does the government get off? trying to 431 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,820 force us forces on us? Where does business get off trying to 432 00:37:08,820 --> 00:37:12,510 force this on people Delta today, it was all over the news, 433 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,960 they are going to be charging their employees that are 434 00:37:16,020 --> 00:37:20,640 enrolled in their health plan, an additional $200 a month for 435 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:27,960 COVID care. I don't think they're raising their premiums 436 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,400 on people who are not in a program to lose weight if 437 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:38,610 they're obese. Which might also help their type two diabetes. 438 00:37:39,180 --> 00:37:43,950 You know, those contribute to severe COVID more than being 439 00:37:43,950 --> 00:37:51,690 unvaccinated? You know, and with the news of you know, of the 440 00:37:51,690 --> 00:37:57,510 vaccines being all over the place. And the full approval of 441 00:37:57,510 --> 00:38:04,650 the Pfizer mRNA vaccine, which is now called comenity. What a 442 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:09,060 wacky name that is. And I think I think I saw on the news that 443 00:38:09,420 --> 00:38:14,130 Madonna, their name is going to be spike backs, Spike Vax, 444 00:38:14,490 --> 00:38:17,040 that's aggressive. So you could tell that they're more of a 445 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,150 technology company versus an old school, pharmaceutical company. 446 00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:27,270 commodity just sounds like one of those benign medical oil I 447 00:38:27,270 --> 00:38:30,660 guess not benign, one of those medications you see on TV now 448 00:38:30,660 --> 00:38:34,230 that sponsors the news, where they give you the long list of 449 00:38:36,330 --> 00:38:39,450 adverse reactions that you know the side effects that you need 450 00:38:39,450 --> 00:38:41,880 to be watching out for the ones that you know, where you're 451 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:46,290 gonna go blind, it's gonna, you know, make your, your, your kids 452 00:38:46,290 --> 00:38:51,600 grow third head. commodity commodity, which is hard to say, 453 00:38:51,780 --> 00:38:56,220 for me at least. sounds just like one of those other drugs, 454 00:38:56,250 --> 00:39:00,660 just some other crazy asteroid, but spike backs, Spike backs. 455 00:39:01,110 --> 00:39:04,380 That's like, it's like if Ilan musk would have named something. 456 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:18,300 But Kubernetes Pfizer's vaccine got full approval on Monday with 457 00:39:18,330 --> 00:39:22,080 only six months of data. Now mind you, most vaccines, you've 458 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:28,710 got years of data, yours. Now also, other vaccines have not 459 00:39:28,710 --> 00:39:33,930 been rolled out to you know, 150 200 million Americans. 460 00:39:39,390 --> 00:39:42,210 You know, in their trials plus in the original trial that I 461 00:39:42,210 --> 00:39:46,350 think it was 48,000 people something like that. That 462 00:39:46,350 --> 00:39:53,940 original trial is dead because Pfizer chose to vaccinate the 463 00:39:53,970 --> 00:39:58,650 group that was the placebo group. So they no longer have a 464 00:39:58,650 --> 00:40:01,020 controlled trial where they have a placebo group where they have 465 00:40:01,020 --> 00:40:05,970 a control group. Now in the general population, the only 466 00:40:05,970 --> 00:40:09,030 control group are people like me who have not so far been 467 00:40:09,030 --> 00:40:12,420 vaccinated. And why haven't I but haven't I been vaccinated, I 468 00:40:12,420 --> 00:40:17,610 don't feel I'm at high risk. I'm under the age of 65. I'm not 469 00:40:17,610 --> 00:40:21,900 diabetic, I'm not obese. I mean, you know, relatively good health 470 00:40:21,900 --> 00:40:26,370 overall. You know, I don't eat a lot of processed foods, you 471 00:40:26,370 --> 00:40:29,580 know, I don't know, I just, I lead a fairly healthy life, I'm 472 00:40:29,580 --> 00:40:33,540 not the fittest guy in the world, you know, I'm not walking 473 00:40:33,540 --> 00:40:36,330 around with washboard abs or anything like that. But, you 474 00:40:36,330 --> 00:40:39,300 know, I mean, I'm in relatively good shape for a 54 year old 475 00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:43,830 man. I have no high blood pressure, I don't have any of 476 00:40:43,830 --> 00:40:47,160 these problems. So I don't feel I'm at high risk. So I don't 477 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,430 need to get this vaccination. Same reason I don't get a flu 478 00:40:50,430 --> 00:40:54,030 shot. Same reason I don't take any other medication that I feel 479 00:40:54,030 --> 00:41:00,840 I don't need. Rex, Rex is causing me trouble. I'm gonna 480 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,210 have to end this because she looks like she needs to go out. 481 00:41:04,380 --> 00:41:10,800 Hey, Rex, Rex, come here. Now, of course, when I call her my 482 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,210 big dog, Godfrey comes out. 483 00:41:18,540 --> 00:41:25,110 So six months of data, no control group. Only four months 484 00:41:27,300 --> 00:41:31,320 after application, when normally it takes at least a year to 485 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,280 approve a vaccine, after the application has been filed, at 486 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:41,160 least that's what I've been reading. So and on top of that, 487 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:47,340 before the whole approval, they were talking about boosters 488 00:41:47,370 --> 00:41:50,130 saying that there's waning efficacy after about eight 489 00:41:50,130 --> 00:41:55,080 months. So you get your last dosage, your last your second 490 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:59,850 vaccine from the Mr. mRNA vaccines. You get a booster 491 00:41:59,850 --> 00:42:03,300 after eight months, and it's supposed to work. Now, to me, 492 00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:06,090 that's typical government thinking, where if something 493 00:42:06,090 --> 00:42:09,450 isn't working, you got to do more of it, because doing more 494 00:42:09,450 --> 00:42:14,010 of it will make it work. That's bullshit to me. So it makes it 495 00:42:14,010 --> 00:42:19,650 very difficult to trust. A fully approved vaccine, when they 496 00:42:19,650 --> 00:42:23,160 didn't go through the normal processes of vaccine normally 497 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:28,680 goes through. You know, maybe after a couple of years, you 498 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,190 know, maybe because there's so many people vaccinated with this 499 00:42:32,190 --> 00:42:36,450 particular shot. You know, maybe wouldn't take two years, maybe 500 00:42:36,450 --> 00:42:40,980 maybe after a year, maybe year and a half, maybe two years, to 501 00:42:40,980 --> 00:42:44,070 see what's happening, although, with it also being a new 502 00:42:44,070 --> 00:42:47,910 technology. Now, I know it's been under development for a 503 00:42:47,910 --> 00:42:51,180 couple of decades. But this is the first time something like 504 00:42:51,180 --> 00:42:53,460 this has happened where it's been rolled out to human beings 505 00:42:53,460 --> 00:42:57,510 like this. So maybe after a couple of years, maybe two 506 00:42:57,510 --> 00:43:03,870 years, three years. We'll know for sure. What any kind of long 507 00:43:03,870 --> 00:43:07,350 term side effects might be out there. Because right now it's 508 00:43:07,350 --> 00:43:14,430 just so new. Nobody really knows anything. You know, it seems to 509 00:43:14,430 --> 00:43:20,640 be effective at preventing severe disease within the first 510 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:26,550 few months after that, it starts to wane. I don't know about the 511 00:43:26,550 --> 00:43:30,330 Johnson and Johnson shot because the news media seems to ignore 512 00:43:30,330 --> 00:43:37,050 it although Johnson Johnson did have a story today that hold on 513 00:43:37,050 --> 00:43:39,060 one second here that 514 00:43:46,350 --> 00:43:52,440 Okay, sorry that a booster of theirs you know, after after 515 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,720 eight months or so, you know, helps as well. I think they're 516 00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:57,210 just kind of throwing their hat in the ring. Because boosters 517 00:43:57,210 --> 00:43:58,740 seem to be all the trend now. 518 00:44:05,489 --> 00:44:10,049 You know, at least to me with the Johnson and Johnson the 519 00:44:10,049 --> 00:44:14,879 technologies and older technology. That to me seems a 520 00:44:14,879 --> 00:44:21,569 little bit more trustworthy and not so risky. But like so it's 521 00:44:21,569 --> 00:44:25,349 like, it's like time has been accelerated. Yes, but it's been 522 00:44:25,349 --> 00:44:27,809 only two weeks. It feels like it's only it's feels like it's 523 00:44:27,809 --> 00:44:32,669 only been a week since I podcasted. Last since I recorded 524 00:44:32,669 --> 00:44:39,299 last. But so much has happened. So much has happened. It's just 525 00:44:39,299 --> 00:44:48,179 so crazy. I don't know. You know, I get Oh, you know what 526 00:44:48,179 --> 00:44:51,989 that is? That's my oven. It's my here my oven timer. I'm making 527 00:44:51,989 --> 00:44:55,529 this this port dish. I forgot what it's called. I saw it on 528 00:44:55,529 --> 00:45:03,359 YouTube with oh crap. Rick Bayless, I was having a brain 529 00:45:03,359 --> 00:45:07,049 fart in his name. He made a very simple pork dish. So I've got 530 00:45:07,049 --> 00:45:09,719 that in the oven right now. It's like slow cooking up getting 531 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:15,149 really low. So I gotta go check that. Anyway, yeah, just things 532 00:45:15,149 --> 00:45:17,639 are just accelerating so fast. I don't know where this is going, 533 00:45:17,639 --> 00:45:21,119 we had to cancel a trip, we were going to take a trip up to New 534 00:45:21,119 --> 00:45:24,539 York City area, it was going to be in New Jersey, but up in the 535 00:45:24,539 --> 00:45:29,129 New York City area. And it was for a wedding. And they, they, 536 00:45:29,159 --> 00:45:32,219 you know, they put out on their website, their wedding website 537 00:45:32,219 --> 00:45:35,399 that they're, you know, they want people to be vaccinated or 538 00:45:35,399 --> 00:45:39,299 test negative prior to going so you know, we just cancelled 539 00:45:40,949 --> 00:45:43,589 because first, I'm not going to get a test for something that I 540 00:45:43,589 --> 00:45:47,549 have no symptoms for. There's no reason for me to test. And 541 00:45:47,549 --> 00:45:50,459 second, I'm not ready. I'm not prepared to get a vaccination 542 00:45:50,459 --> 00:45:56,639 just yet. You know, I may at some point, but right now, I 543 00:45:56,639 --> 00:46:03,299 just don't see a need. And you know, this kind of crap is 544 00:46:03,299 --> 00:46:05,909 happening all over the place, I will be taking a trip soon to go 545 00:46:05,909 --> 00:46:08,819 up to Salt Lake City. I have yet to see what that's going to be 546 00:46:08,819 --> 00:46:12,299 like, you know, the whole reason to is that when I get someplace, 547 00:46:12,599 --> 00:46:15,419 everybody has to know I'm not vaccinated because they need to 548 00:46:15,419 --> 00:46:18,299 take their own risk. If you're willing to see me fine, it's 549 00:46:18,299 --> 00:46:23,099 your own choice. If you're not that's also fine. You know, a 550 00:46:23,099 --> 00:46:26,939 lot of people are afraid of this. Anyway, I gotta end this 551 00:46:26,939 --> 00:46:33,959 because RX is having trouble RX RX. Heidi, her back here, I 552 00:46:33,959 --> 00:46:38,249 gotta let her out. I gotta go check my oven. And I'm gonna, I 553 00:46:38,249 --> 00:46:40,529 will, I'm going to try to do something a little different, 554 00:46:40,529 --> 00:46:46,199 because the news is just so I just hate it so much. I can't 555 00:46:46,199 --> 00:46:51,089 stop paying attention to it. I hate it at the same time. So I'm 556 00:46:51,089 --> 00:46:54,629 gonna, I'm gonna, when I've got an idea for something to talk 557 00:46:54,629 --> 00:46:57,209 about. I'm gonna make a note of it and see if I can't make that 558 00:46:57,209 --> 00:47:00,809 work. But until then, that's all I got.
