0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:06.319
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Behind the Bastards, the podcast that's a podcast

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 1>legally supposed to that, Jamie, There's no getting around it.

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:19.480
<v Speaker 1>This is absolutely this is a podcast where a man

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.560
<v Speaker 1>in an animal onesie depresses me over zoom, a man

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>in an animal onesie who also bragged about eating fresh

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:32.520
<v Speaker 1>grapes during our little break. I kind of liked that. Yeah, yeah,

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>what I watch the Golden Girls, Jamie, Oh wait, what

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 1>do you say that? I do? Know? What did is? Now? Wow? Wow,

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>that's good. That's good Golden Girls. You know, people say

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 1>they learned nothing from Golden Girls except um, you know,

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>amazing sex tips. I learned a lot about Golden Girls

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>from you did. It's the biggest lesson you would say

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you learned from the Golden Girl, Robert, is it always

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 1>your grapes? If you've killed somebody and you need to

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.320
<v Speaker 1>get rid of the body, you don't want to use

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>a normal hack saw, right, You want to use like ideally,

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>like a reciprocating saw of some sort. And then the

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>other problem you're gonna have, Right, you can't just chop

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>the body up and then deal with the pieces. Ship's

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna spray, so you're gonna have to cover a wide

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>hilarious scene. I didn't learn that from the show, but

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I did learn that from one of the Golden Girls

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 1>when we killed together. I learned that from the Jinks.

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:41.759
<v Speaker 1>That's another perfect murder in the Jinks. Well, really, speaking

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>of murder, do you want to continue talking about this topic? Yes?

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Um so, Jamie? Yes? What is a podcast? Oh? What? Oh? Well,

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>it's where a series of sort of charismatic but maybe

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>not that charismatic group of Charlatan's. Uh sell you a mattress? Oh, Jamie,

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you brought up mattress is because Casper Mattress

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>has a new offer right now. Really, the only way

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.839
<v Speaker 1>that finally the mattress that eats your ass, because I've

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.640
<v Speaker 1>been waiting exactly at Jamie. It is the mattress that

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 1>eats ass, whether you ask for it or not. This

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>mattress doesn't ask consent. It just goes for it. See that,

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I It just goes for it. Just there's so many

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 1>scenarios where that is going to be a problem. Well, Jamie,

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>if you want the mattress that asks for consent before

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>eating your ass, then you want a perfect distress. That's

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the purple The purple matters checks. I've heard that its

0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>purple mattress very considerate leves for it. Now what the

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.800
<v Speaker 1>purple mattress great at consent? Checks can't talk about emotions.

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>The casper really emotionally open and has access to pretty

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>good ketamine, so so the pup. So the purple mattress

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.079
<v Speaker 1>is cheaper, but you you will have to pay for it.

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:23.519
<v Speaker 1>In terms of dragging it to to therapy. You're definitely

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 1>not going to get it to therapy easily. And again,

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the casper has access to cheap ketamine. So that's the

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>great thing about happen Jamie. If you want a mattress

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 1>that eat your ass, you have a choice, and that's

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>what makes this the best system in the world. Are

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>you glad that we got this sorted out? Because I've

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>been sometimes there's just questions that you know that your

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 1>friend will be able to answer for you, but you

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>just don't really know how to like start the conversation.

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, I can't call text you saying which mattress

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>eats the best ass? But I know you knew answer,

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, But we have choice. That's what's beautiful we

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 1>have in Venezuela. You're lucky if you get one mattress

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>that eats your ass M and I we're very lucky

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>here we get to choose our ass eating mattresses. And

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what else we get in America? Jamie loftus,

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>what is this metaphor? What? What? Oh? Wait, yes, now

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I see what you're saying, Joe Rogan. Yes, yes, and

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>you get a choice too. You can either listen to

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Joe Rogan give you inappropriate healthcare advice, or you can

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>just not listen to him and be quietly affected by

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:34.600
<v Speaker 1>everything he says, because his influence is so great that

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.679
<v Speaker 1>even if you don't like him personally, epidemic rates uh,

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 1>that will affect you and potentially derail your life. Will

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 1>will still I don't know. Here's a clip of Joe

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Rogan announcing that he's tested positive for COVID nineteen got

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>tested and turns out I got COVID. So we immediately

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>through the kitchen sank out of all kinds of meds,

0:04:55.880 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 1>monoclonal antibodies, iver mect ins, pack uh, pregnizone, everything. Oh yeah,

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>keep it on a loop, baby. So this is God?

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:14.279
<v Speaker 1>Also from why is this a thing with like gen

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:19.480
<v Speaker 1>xers that it's like everything is from the least flattering

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>angle possible. What is that? What is the up angle?

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 1>You know? The more so easy to catch a better angle,

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 1>you know? Yeah, But the shittier the angle, the more

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:36.599
<v Speaker 1>it looks authentic. I guess. Yeah. Oh, that's how Joe

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Rogan tells us he's one of us. He's one of us.

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.279
<v Speaker 1>He's one of us, just with an extra or so

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 1>million dollars Jamie sick. Yeah. If you're a person with

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 1>a reasonable grasp on observable reality, you will note that

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Joe wrote in there specified that he'd used his rich

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.599
<v Speaker 1>person powers to take every available treatment, and some of

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>those treatments are real medicines. Monoclonal antibodies absolutely do some

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.280
<v Speaker 1>ship it um now, they were almost certainly unnecessary to him,

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>because it sounds like he may just have had asymptomatic

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.280
<v Speaker 1>COVID and maybe all he needed to do with self

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 1>isolate for a little while um, which he did do,

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I think. But monoclonal antibodies probably not necessary for him.

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 1>But if you have actually do get sick, can be

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>very helpfully than life saving saving. On the other hand,

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 1>the data suggests that iver mectin probably doesn't again not

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.600
<v Speaker 1>solid solidified yet we may find that there's some treatment

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>case for it yet in the future, but certainly not

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 1>the same amount of evidence that there is for monoclonal antibodies. Now,

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.600
<v Speaker 1>being a healthy guy with access to the best healthcare

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>on the planet, Joe was always likely to survive COVID

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:41.599
<v Speaker 1>without much of an issue. And again he may have

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:45.240
<v Speaker 1>just had an asymptomatic case or mostly a symptomatic case.

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 1>But because he took iver bactic alongside everything else, his

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>example is going to spur huge numbers of people who

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:54.280
<v Speaker 1>can't afford monoclonal antibodies or around the clock medical observation,

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>but can afford to go down to the fucking feed store.

0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>And that's again part of the problem, right. This is

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 1>how the intellectual dark web launders deadly misinformation, because if

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.159
<v Speaker 1>you were to hold Joe's feet to the fire on this,

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 1>he would say, well, look, I didn't say take ivermectin

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 1>if you're sick. I said, we're going to do all

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 1>of the different things. You know, we tried everything. We

0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>tried all of the different medications. Um, And if question,

0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he would also explain that his iver mectin

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 1>was prescribed by a doctor and that there are doctors

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 1>like the fl C c C who will advise taking

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>iver mectin ethan as a prophylactic. He also took a

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 1>treat with lonxiety. YadA, YadA, YadA. But again, a lot

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>of the people listening are either just kind of here

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 1>that he endorsed iver macten or of all of the

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 1>things he listed, the only one they can afford is

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 1>ivermectin m It's great. So yeah, it's good, Jamie, We're

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 1>not good again. This is why the world is domed. So.

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>The Intellectual dark Web or i d W is a

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.120
<v Speaker 1>term that was quote coined by a guy named Eric

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Weinstein to describe himself and a loose alliance of other

0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 1>right wing thought leaders who generally tended to not be

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>right wing. So embarrassing you came up with your own

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>name for what you when you don't think that's like

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>naming your band corn with a K. No except Corn rocks, Yeah,

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 1>corn does rock. No hate to corn, don't. I get

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 1>nothing against corn, either the food or the band. So

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>just an embarrassing name. It is an embarrassing name, but whatever,

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:35.600
<v Speaker 1>so is Jesus Christ God smack. I heard gods that. Yeah,

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 1>that is pretty embarrassing. You know what, anyone with a

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>band name, it's if you think hard enough about it,

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 1>it gets embarrassing. I think Jamie and I are agreed.

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:49.720
<v Speaker 1>The concept of music is cringe. Honestly, I'm glad someone

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 1>said it because I don't appreciate our die alone in

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:59.440
<v Speaker 1>a small room. Come on, no one asked about your feelings. York.

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm kid, I love I worship York. York rocks. Jamie

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 1>and she didn't need and she didn't need to. She

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.320
<v Speaker 1>she she just goes by her name versus Corn or

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 1>god Smack Jonathan Godsmack has as much of a right

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:20.439
<v Speaker 1>to his name as Yorks. There of the Boston god Smacks,

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I believe the Boston gods kind of when I have

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>a kid and name it god Smack, now just have

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>to say that ship so Smack Evans god Smack get

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 1>down here, because I've never listened to one of their songs,

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 1>and I know that would be a lot of people's

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 1>first question. Oh see, yeah, maybe interesting. Maybe that is

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 1>why I've been put on this earth, is to spread

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the good word of god Smack. It's because they're from Massachusetts?

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Is that how I know who they are? So my

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>uncle would bring us to their concerts. Yeah, you know who.

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>What's not from Massachusetts is the intellectual dark Web, So

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.959
<v Speaker 1>that actually a relief. I DW started out I think

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 1>around two that's an eighteen by branding itself as a

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 1>reaction to and a rejection of authoritarian left wing trends.

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.959
<v Speaker 1>They defined these as cancel culture would be a big one.

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Respect for trans people would be another big one. The

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 1>fact that groups of marginalized people get angry when you

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>question whether or not there, you know, deserve rights. The

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 1>fact that people get angry at that is authoritarian to

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 1>the I DW. So Barry Weiss, who used to be Yeah,

0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 1>she's the one who popularized the term intellectual dark web

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 1>for a tween article for The Times, and ever since,

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the luminaries of the I DW have position themselves opposite

0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:46.840
<v Speaker 1>the left on every conceivable social issue. Now, I don't

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 1>give Barry Weiss credit for much, but in that first

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>article on the I d W, she did identify what

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 1>would come to be a problem with the intellectual dark web. Quote.

0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I share the belief that our institutional gatekeepers need to

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>crack the it's open much more. I don't, however, want

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 1>to live in a culture where there are no gatekeepers

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.320
<v Speaker 1>at all. Given how influential this group is becoming, I

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.559
<v Speaker 1>can't be alone in hoping the I d W finds

0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 1>a way to issue the cranks, grifters and bigots and

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>sticks to the truth seeking spoiler. They would not Berry,

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 1>that's our berry. Just kidding, I don't, I can't standard. Okay,

0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.959
<v Speaker 1>that's a lukewarm take and it's and it's bari. But

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>that's okay, you know what, you know what I could? Yeah, yeah,

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 1>buck it. So. Eric Weinstein, who named the I d W,

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 1>is the managing director of Teal capital Um. So he's

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:49.480
<v Speaker 1>a real, real upstart truth teller really on the he

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 1>just manages billions of dollars in wealth. You know, he's

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.719
<v Speaker 1>a he's an insurgent. He's an outsider. He's not like

0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the rest of us. He has he's not like those

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 1>rich journalists working for I don't know slate. He's not

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 1>like other girls. So Eric has a brother named Brett,

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 1>and Brett also is a memberi W. Because nepotism. Brett

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:22.400
<v Speaker 1>is a former evolutionary biology professor from Evergreen State College.

0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 1>He got famous when he resigned in two thousand seventeen.

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Over the school's yearly day of absence. In years passed,

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.120
<v Speaker 1>during the day of absence, students of color had left

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.680
<v Speaker 1>campus to have conversations about race and equity, but that

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.560
<v Speaker 1>year they asked white students to leave campus instead, and

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Weinstein complained. He said this led the intolerant left to

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 1>bury him in death threats, which made the campus unsafe

0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 1>for him and forced him to resign and sue his

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.680
<v Speaker 1>former employer. He received a half a million dollars settlement.

0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Nice good stuff, real honest wages. So Brett operates with

0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 1>his wife, Heather the Dark Horse YouTube channel, which is

0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 1>probably the primary non medical source of irrational iver mect

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and exuberance. Bain, that's just words, throbber. You can't just

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.320
<v Speaker 1>say those words in that order and expect me to

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 1>think something I would, I can, and I have Oh

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 1>okay hm. So Brett and his wife left on the

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 1>anti parasitic drug as soon as the first studies into

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 1>its efficacy were released. Like the FLCCC, he started off

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 1>by pointing out that he had a history of being

0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 1>right about important COVID facts that the medical establishment had

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:34.720
<v Speaker 1>been wrong about, namely wearing a mask. You remember when

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.079
<v Speaker 1>we were out of masks, and doctor said it might

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 1>not be necessary because we didn't know much about it

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.480
<v Speaker 1>at that point. Well, Brett claims he was right about that.

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Who the funk knows, um, So it's not like masks

0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.040
<v Speaker 1>were an option for most of us. We were cutting

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 1>them out of fucking t shirts, Brett. Anyway, I'm gonna

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 1>quote next from Vice. They began promoting I've Met In

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>this spring and interviewed Corey on their podcast in early June.

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Corey claimed that public health bodies are ignoring the potential

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 1>uses of iver mactin in the fight against COVID nineteen,

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 1>perhaps deliberately striking the same conspiratorial tone that often arises

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 1>in conjunction with flimsy medical claims. He speculated that a

0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>World Health Organization committee was told they can't come out

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 1>of that room with a recommendation for iver macten. Corey

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.120
<v Speaker 1>and Weinstein both agreed that COVID nineteen vaccines are being

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.760
<v Speaker 1>promoted at the expense of other treatments, seemingly for the

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 1>benefit of the same sinister they's whom they imply control

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the w h O and other health agencies. Another podcast

0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>featured Weinstein literally taking iver mactin on air. We are

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 1>not going to make any recommendations as to what you

0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 1>should do, Weinstein said shortly before doubting the drug. And

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to say anything conclusive about what the

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 1>data say, because the data are not themselves conclusive. However,

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:50.280
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't mean the data don't imply things. Robert I

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>fear that our medium is the source of all of

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 1>society's current ills. Well, social media, our medium is part

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.160
<v Speaker 1>of its. Social media is really what got the ball

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 1>rolling before podcasts were because this is also on YouTube

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 1>where he's doing. It's like it's all part of it.

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Podcasts are part of it. To this part of it's

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 1>this whole. You know, Barry Weiss talks about the gate

0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.920
<v Speaker 1>there were too many gatekeepers, um. And the problem is

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 1>now there are. There's no such there's no gate there's

0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>nothing at all. You just pick the facts that are

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>most convenient to you, um, and then you get increasingly

0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 1>violently agitated when reality doesn't line up with those facts,

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and so you attack the capital and start storming school

0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 1>board meetings and threatening to murder school administrators who demand people.

0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that they're still gates, but the gates are

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 1>far tinier and very easy to knock over. So it's

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 1>like there's one person to each gate, and so you

0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.840
<v Speaker 1>could just walk up and they're like, yeah, come on

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 1>in whatever, Like there's no institutional gate. Not that I'm

0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>advocating for an institutional gate, but in this case, there were.

0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:01.680
<v Speaker 1>There were probably were way too. It's not like I'm

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 1>not saying like, oh, we need to go back to

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the good old days when Walter Cronkite was the entirety

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>of news, you know, when there was one source of news.

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Of course, not the fact that there is a massive

0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 1>that you can make millions of dollars if you just

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 1>wait until somebody makes a vague suggestion that a medication

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 1>might be helpful and then tell them to issue all

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.160
<v Speaker 1>proven medications in favor of that, and then claim that

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 1>you're being silenced by medical authorities when doctors say what

0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 1>you're saying is a bad idea and that way you

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 1>make huge amounts of money. That's bad. Yeah, you should

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.920
<v Speaker 1>have to be able to like prove what you're claiming

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>if you're claiming to be an authority. I think I

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't know what the long term solution is,

0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.920
<v Speaker 1>and I don't think we'll find it, um, but maybe

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 1>it would be something like, Okay, well you told a

0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:52.000
<v Speaker 1>bunch of people to take iver meton and not get vaccinated,

0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and these people died, So we're going to shoot you

0:16:54.360 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>in a field. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, I mean

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 1>in minecraft, of course, but I I see what you're saying.

0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.000
<v Speaker 1>So Weinstein went on in that episode to claim that

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.520
<v Speaker 1>neither he or his wife have been vaccinated quote because

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 1>we have fears, as we have discussed it length on

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, and that given the apparent effectiveness that iver

0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:19.560
<v Speaker 1>mectin and iver mectine preventing COVID nineteen, why would he

0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:25.120
<v Speaker 1>bother taking the vaccine cost benefit? For me? It makes sense, um.

0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.280
<v Speaker 1>So when VISs asked Heather and her husband which reputable

0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:32.200
<v Speaker 1>scientific sources they followed on ivermectin, Heather responded like a

0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.320
<v Speaker 1>truly gifted grifter, And as a connoisseur of grifters, I

0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 1>have to give her a little clap for this response. Quote,

0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:43.080
<v Speaker 1>we are not following any particular experts. That isn't what

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 1>scientists are supposed to do. We have been in continue

0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.640
<v Speaker 1>to read the scientific literature as it emerges. The one

0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 1>exception to this is with regard to Protocol for using

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Ivermectin as a prophylact against COVID nineteen, which is listed

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.560
<v Speaker 1>on the website for the front Line COVID nineteen Critical Carolines,

0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 1>an organization of dot years of what Dr Corey is

0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:05.600
<v Speaker 1>a leading figure. So we don't we aren't following any experts,

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:07.959
<v Speaker 1>but we are only listening to this one guy and

0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 1>taking this medicine because he said too, Um, it's good ship.

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Sure sure, no, that that's solid solid. This is like absurd, Okay,

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:25.000
<v Speaker 1>now after it's good stuff. After Brett took iver met

0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.200
<v Speaker 1>and Live on air, Heather claim she and her entire

0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 1>family began taking it as a prophylactic. At one point,

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Brett Weinstein acknowledged that his advice might stop people from

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 1>getting vaccinated. Quote, they could well contract COVID nineteen when

0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.040
<v Speaker 1>they otherwise would not have. They might die. That's not

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.560
<v Speaker 1>a responsibility I want, but it's I feel it's one

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.879
<v Speaker 1>I must take on because the analysis that matters is

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.359
<v Speaker 1>the net analysis. What is the best policy from the

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:48.280
<v Speaker 1>point of view of reducing the number of people lost

0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:51.160
<v Speaker 1>to this disease as opposed to lost to adverse reactions

0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:58.400
<v Speaker 1>to vaccines? So that's bad but it is Brett acknowledging

0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.840
<v Speaker 1>again that he know he's going to get people killed.

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.680
<v Speaker 1>It's him claiming, of course that is net he's getting

0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.800
<v Speaker 1>less people killed, but he fucking knows what he's doing, right,

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.240
<v Speaker 1>That's that's I mean, I guess that's not even really

0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:14.920
<v Speaker 1>tripping me up logic wise, because it's abundantly clear that

0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 1>this that this group is aware that this is a

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:20.280
<v Speaker 1>risk the entire time. And I feel like that is like,

0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:22.639
<v Speaker 1>in the case of Joe Rogan, one of the only

0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:25.560
<v Speaker 1>things that is preventing him from falling off the edge

0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:27.640
<v Speaker 1>of a cliff is he will never acknowledge that he

0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.639
<v Speaker 1>knows that what he is doing that hundreds of millions

0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:33.240
<v Speaker 1>of people consume every week, has a demonstrable harm. And

0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:35.520
<v Speaker 1>if he admits that, then the game has kind of

0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:37.480
<v Speaker 1>changed a little bit for him. But the fact that

0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.240
<v Speaker 1>he would admit it, like Brett, I mean, would it

0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:43.960
<v Speaker 1>would admit that he's well aware of the consequences of

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:48.320
<v Speaker 1>his actions in public, that easily is like just speaking

0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:53.040
<v Speaker 1>of the consequences of his actions, Jamie, So do tell

0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.200
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, oh no, we'll we'll be we'll be getting

0:19:56.240 --> 0:20:00.360
<v Speaker 1>to the consequences of it. But you know. So. Brett

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.200
<v Speaker 1>has more than five hundred sixty thousand followers on Twitter

0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 1>and three d and fifty one thousand followers on YouTube.

0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:09.600
<v Speaker 1>One of his followers was an Englishman named Leslie Lawrenson.

0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Note that I said was oh. Leslie regularly shared Brett's content.

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Underneath one post where in Leslie shared one of Brett's videos,

0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:23.640
<v Speaker 1>he wrote, quote and this is this is Leslie iver.

0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:25.639
<v Speaker 1>Meton has been around for forty years. There have been

0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:27.960
<v Speaker 1>more than four billion doses administered in that time, and

0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:31.040
<v Speaker 1>its risk profile is extremely well known. Frontline doctors across

0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:32.840
<v Speaker 1>the world have reported that it is not only safe,

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 1>but extremely effective and ji successfully treating COVID nineteen. Yet

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.440
<v Speaker 1>its use as being suppressed and blocked by every single

0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:40.760
<v Speaker 1>government that is within the purview of big pharma and

0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the mainstream media is exercising a media blackout a k a.

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Censorship regarding its existence so that the sheep never get

0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:49.240
<v Speaker 1>to hear about it. Shortly after that, he posted a

0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:51.879
<v Speaker 1>video announcing that he had caught COVID nineteen and that

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 1>he was glad of this because the virus was nothing

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:57.199
<v Speaker 1>different from a normal illness and the potential risks of

0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 1>the vaccine were not worth it. Days later, his family

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:02.919
<v Speaker 1>found him dead in his home. God, I mean, it's like,

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 1>do you need a more one to one analysis of

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:09.520
<v Speaker 1>what this guy's rhetoric is doing. That's that's like, that's

0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.480
<v Speaker 1>that's negligent homicide. That should be punished the same way

0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:16.120
<v Speaker 1>as getting somebody with your car when you're wasted. Um

0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:26.320
<v Speaker 1>lots of platform than ever before Rogan show. And yeah,

0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not you know, I I'm very critical of a

0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:33.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of like the revolutionary fantasizing among some such sections

0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:35.160
<v Speaker 1>of the left and the up against the wall bring

0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:38.520
<v Speaker 1>out the guillotines part, but yeah, sucking bring out the guillotines.

0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Let's do It's like, that's that's that's right. There's some

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:48.040
<v Speaker 1>clear cut examples of like, well, that situation calls you're

0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:52.320
<v Speaker 1>you are knowingly getting people killed for your own personal

0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:55.639
<v Speaker 1>benefit and I don't really care what happens to you, Brett,

0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:59.200
<v Speaker 1>And it's not even he can't even like and and

0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:02.040
<v Speaker 1>there's nay him to the faces and he knows the

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:04.840
<v Speaker 1>names and he knows the faces and he doesn't give

0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:09.639
<v Speaker 1>a ship like that is just horrific. Anyway, Let's have

0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 1>a Nuremberg for disinformation um and like the actual Nuremberg Court,

0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:18.720
<v Speaker 1>most of the guilty people will get off scott free

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:21.920
<v Speaker 1>and later wind up working for NASA, And then someone

0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:26.479
<v Speaker 1>will make to Joe Rogan designing the first successful mars Lander.

0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:30.320
<v Speaker 1>H Joe Rogan is the Berner von Brown in this

0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah what sorry? I see the spaceship that Joe Rogan makes.

0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Do you I mean, is it possible to make a

0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 1>bigger uh like Penis complex and Jeff Bezos is? I

0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:51.000
<v Speaker 1>would like to see Joe Rogan try. You know, I

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:53.960
<v Speaker 1>don't think that Joe Rogan has that same particular issue

0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:57.680
<v Speaker 1>that Jeff Bezos has. What what do you think his

0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:00.280
<v Speaker 1>problem is? What makes he has a lot of rob

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:04.520
<v Speaker 1>But he strikes me. I don't think he's insecure like that.

0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:07.680
<v Speaker 1>That does not strike me as Joe Rogan's issue. Clearly,

0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:12.520
<v Speaker 1>fucking both Bezos and Musk are, but I think Joe

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:15.119
<v Speaker 1>Rogan is. I think Joe Rogan would have been a

0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:19.280
<v Speaker 1>perfectly banal, perhaps even positive influence on society if we

0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:21.680
<v Speaker 1>had never developed the Internet. He would have been. He

0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:23.960
<v Speaker 1>would have been great at you go in to watch

0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:26.359
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of sweaty guys punch each other and Joe

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 1>is an entertaining announcer, and that would have been factor

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:35.040
<v Speaker 1>residuals and like living in Glendale for the rest of

0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:38.440
<v Speaker 1>his life, and we wouldn't have known the difference. No,

0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:40.399
<v Speaker 1>And you could say, oh, I like Joe Rogan, and

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:42.160
<v Speaker 1>people would say, oh, yeah, the guy who made people

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 1>eat bugs. He was funny, and that would be the

0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:49.719
<v Speaker 1>end of the motherfuck. I would have no lover. I

0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:53.000
<v Speaker 1>love when people eat bugs. It's when you start spreading

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:57.160
<v Speaker 1>disinformation to hundreds of millions of people, to the point where,

0:23:57.359 --> 0:23:59.520
<v Speaker 1>like you were saying, even if you don't give a

0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:03.240
<v Speaker 1>shit about him, you can't escape the consequences of his actions,

0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:07.240
<v Speaker 1>which he claims is free thinking. I just I'm getting

0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:09.520
<v Speaker 1>all sweaty like a Joe Rogan just thinking about it.

0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't stand it. Jamie, you're so shiny right now.

0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, I'm so shy. I'm sorry. All the

0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:18.080
<v Speaker 1>blood is at the surface of my skin. And that's

0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 1>why that's happening. Well, you know what, sweat it's gonna

0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be some weird, weird thing that will make

0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:33.119
<v Speaker 1>you sweat as the ad. But yeah, what's not going

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:35.320
<v Speaker 1>to actually a lot of our because like if you're taken,

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:38.879
<v Speaker 1>if you're taking dick pills, they will cause things that

0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:41.880
<v Speaker 1>will lead the sweating for sure, you know, fair enough.

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Sex works. And if you take a Honda Odyssey we're

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 1>sponsored by Honda hot it is yes, it will, Jamie, Okay,

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:59.200
<v Speaker 1>just checking. Honda Odyssey will eat your ass. Um, Oh

0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:02.840
<v Speaker 1>my god. It doesn't ask for consent. But unlike the

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Casper mattress, it does not have a good well yeah,

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:19.040
<v Speaker 1>at your own discretion. All right, we are back. We

0:25:19.160 --> 0:25:23.480
<v Speaker 1>are back and and talking about ship. That's none of

0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:26.480
<v Speaker 1>your goddamn business. During the break, what do you what

0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:29.400
<v Speaker 1>do you? What are you doing prying into our personal lives? God,

0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:36.880
<v Speaker 1>damn it. I told you once listener boundaries on boundary. Look,

0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm open break down those parasocial walls. Come over to

0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 1>my house, poison me in my sleep. That is that

0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:47.400
<v Speaker 1>is why we get up. She's like one of four

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:51.320
<v Speaker 1>people that I really like. You can find my You

0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 1>can find my address in the show notes. Um, it's

0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:59.399
<v Speaker 1>the only show note we still publish because Jamie law

0:25:59.600 --> 0:26:01.800
<v Speaker 1>This is a dressed in a series of recent photo

0:26:01.880 --> 0:26:05.439
<v Speaker 1>dress come to the duplex I live in. There's no

0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:11.040
<v Speaker 1>air conditioner and it's very hot, but please don't please.

0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:16.959
<v Speaker 1>You'll notice, Jamie that we haven't laid any clips of

0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:20.040
<v Speaker 1>from Brett's YouTube videos. This is because YouTube has started

0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:23.679
<v Speaker 1>removing his content that discusses ever mected in vaccines. A

0:26:23.720 --> 0:26:26.800
<v Speaker 1>week or so before I wrote this, Weinstein tweeted YouTube

0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:30.160
<v Speaker 1>just demonetized both dark Horse channels, wiping out more than

0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:33.960
<v Speaker 1>half of our family income. Their message dropped the science

0:26:33.960 --> 0:26:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and stick to the narrative or else. So a bevy

0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:42.240
<v Speaker 1>of right wing and generally oppositional defiant thought leaders spoke

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:45.840
<v Speaker 1>up in Brett Weinstein's defense. These included Matt Taiebe, whose

0:26:46.040 --> 0:26:48.280
<v Speaker 1>recent turn has really bumped me out being a fan

0:26:48.320 --> 0:26:51.560
<v Speaker 1>of his earlier work. Matt wrote an article titled meet

0:26:51.600 --> 0:26:56.280
<v Speaker 1>the censored Brett Weinstein quote, as detailed in why has

0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I ever met? In become a dirty word? Weinstein is

0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:01.520
<v Speaker 1>on the version becoming one of the more prominent casualties

0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 1>to a censorship movement that it's hard not to see

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:07.479
<v Speaker 1>as part of a whier evergreening of America. He's referring

0:27:07.480 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 1>to the college that that Brett left because he was

0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:15.480
<v Speaker 1>being a baby. Yeah, that's where he got he had

0:27:15.520 --> 0:27:18.480
<v Speaker 1>to resign from because he didn't want to walk out

0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:22.040
<v Speaker 1>during anyway. It was he made nothing into a big

0:27:22.080 --> 0:27:24.040
<v Speaker 1>deal because he's a fucking baby like all of these

0:27:24.040 --> 0:27:26.760
<v Speaker 1>fun Yeah, that's the m O, right. You know what

0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:28.640
<v Speaker 1>happens when people ask me to do stuff I don't

0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:31.640
<v Speaker 1>want to do. I I just quietly go don't do it,

0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:33.639
<v Speaker 1>and I don't make a big deal about it, because

0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:36.200
<v Speaker 1>because why would you, Like, you don't want to you

0:27:36.200 --> 0:27:37.959
<v Speaker 1>don't want to leave campus during the day when they

0:27:37.960 --> 0:27:39.640
<v Speaker 1>ask the white people to leave, Just do keep doing

0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 1>your thing, suck it like, you don't have to make

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:44.160
<v Speaker 1>a big deal about it and it'll go away. It's fine.

0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:46.560
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to. You don't have to make everything.

0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:48.119
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to be a baby about everything. But

0:27:48.160 --> 0:27:51.119
<v Speaker 1>if you are a baby about specifically things that the

0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:53.879
<v Speaker 1>left does, then you'll make millions of dollars becoming a

0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:55.919
<v Speaker 1>right wing thought leader, which is why he's done it.

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:59.160
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't believe anything fun all these people the thought

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:02.400
<v Speaker 1>leader is such a meaningless her. I just yeah, every

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:08.520
<v Speaker 1>every element of uh this man's being is disgusting to me.

0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Um uh so. Bill Maher also came to Brett's defense,

0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:19.240
<v Speaker 1>along with of course, Barry Weiss, glid Greenwald and busy

0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:24.199
<v Speaker 1>on She's on Bill Maher all the time. It's the

0:28:24.240 --> 0:28:27.960
<v Speaker 1>most effective Republican working today at it. And it's so

0:28:28.040 --> 0:28:30.119
<v Speaker 1>funny because Barry Weiss, in her first article in the

0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:31.840
<v Speaker 1>id W is like, I hope they get a handle

0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:35.160
<v Speaker 1>on grifters and people spreading misinformation, but of course when

0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:37.480
<v Speaker 1>they actually do that, she defends them to the fucking

0:28:37.560 --> 0:28:40.160
<v Speaker 1>hill because she's also wait, not the grifters, I like,

0:28:40.840 --> 0:28:43.959
<v Speaker 1>makes eight hundred grand year writing shitty sub stack articles

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:48.160
<v Speaker 1>about how canceled she is. No who is read by

0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:51.840
<v Speaker 1>these None of these fucking people actually suffer consequences. They

0:28:51.880 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 1>just wind about the consequences they're not suffering because they're

0:28:54.320 --> 0:28:59.240
<v Speaker 1>fucking babies. Fucking hate all these people. So um Ben

0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Shapiro aimed breadths demonetization on the increasingly sensorious laughed Weinstey

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 1>took the Odyssey an alternative YouTube replacement for canceled people,

0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:11.880
<v Speaker 1>but the reality is that he has not been at

0:29:11.920 --> 0:29:16.400
<v Speaker 1>all censored. YouTube's policies on iver Mectin are extremely liberal,

0:29:16.640 --> 0:29:19.280
<v Speaker 1>as this quote from Vice makes clear, and I think

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:20.960
<v Speaker 1>this is by Anna Merlin. She's done a lot of

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the best reporting on the ivermectin stuff. Yeah, I like

0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:28.080
<v Speaker 1>her a lot um quote. Weinstein's tweets called the YouTube

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 1>decision an assault on science. But according to YouTube, even

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:34.160
<v Speaker 1>materials that advocate for the use of unproven COVID treatments

0:29:34.160 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 1>like iver mectin or hydroxy clerquin would be allowed, so

0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:39.280
<v Speaker 1>long as there's some nod to the fact that medical

0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and health authorities worldwide don't currently recommend them as a

0:29:42.480 --> 0:29:45.760
<v Speaker 1>COVID treatment. Ivermectin as an anti parasite and has been

0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:47.920
<v Speaker 1>widely and safely used in both humans and animals for

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 1>that purpose for decades, among other things. As an example,

0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:53.720
<v Speaker 1>the company pointed to a January video from Dr Mike Hanson,

0:29:53.760 --> 0:29:56.920
<v Speaker 1>an internist and pulmonologist, who said he was cautiously optimistic

0:29:56.920 --> 0:29:59.520
<v Speaker 1>about iver mecton as a treatment option, but acknowledged that

0:29:59.560 --> 0:30:01.760
<v Speaker 1>the studies conducted on it up to that point weren't

0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 1>numerous or necessarily high quality. You see, Brett was not

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:08.440
<v Speaker 1>demonetized for being a truth teller. He was demonetized because

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:11.600
<v Speaker 1>YouTube's policies. You can say, hey, ivermectin white might work.

0:30:11.800 --> 0:30:14.480
<v Speaker 1>You can even you can even tell people things that

0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:17.440
<v Speaker 1>might leave most of them to take ivermectin as long

0:30:17.480 --> 0:30:19.960
<v Speaker 1>as you're saying, hey, this isn't proven yet and the

0:30:20.000 --> 0:30:24.080
<v Speaker 1>studies are very much inconclusive. Right, there's you can talk

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:26.560
<v Speaker 1>about iver emecton, you can talk about remcting research. You

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:28.800
<v Speaker 1>can't say it's a wonder drug that works better than

0:30:28.840 --> 0:30:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the vaccines, because that's a fucking lie that will get

0:30:31.120 --> 0:30:35.080
<v Speaker 1>people killed. Brett, you fucking idiot. Um, He's not an idiot.

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:36.640
<v Speaker 1>He's very good at making a lot of money in

0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:39.440
<v Speaker 1>a very specific evil. No, it's like he's he knows

0:30:39.480 --> 0:30:48.360
<v Speaker 1>exactly what he's doing. Like he's he's very cannily manipulating

0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:52.479
<v Speaker 1>the information ecosystem in order to make a profit. And

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:57.040
<v Speaker 1>he is will he does not care that it's killing people. Um,

0:30:57.080 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 1>and he him through the shredder. That's my best guiety idea.

0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I've been saying it for years, the largest shredder available.

0:31:07.720 --> 0:31:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I think. Actually what you should do is exclusively let

0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:13.120
<v Speaker 1>him hang out in a room with his biggest fans.

0:31:13.200 --> 0:31:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Make him live with them, and he has to listen

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:19.920
<v Speaker 1>to all of their opinions, no matter how long winded

0:31:20.200 --> 0:31:25.560
<v Speaker 1>they are, which they all are. COVID from them, and

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:29.200
<v Speaker 1>he hust to let them cough on him again. Brett

0:31:29.240 --> 0:31:32.480
<v Speaker 1>is claiming to be censored and shipped. He was not censored.

0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:37.160
<v Speaker 1>He broke incredibly permissive policies that YouTube has set by

0:31:37.240 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 1>literally stating on air that i ever Metton was quote

0:31:39.920 --> 0:31:43.080
<v Speaker 1>something like a dcent effective at stopping you catching COVID,

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:46.640
<v Speaker 1>which it is not, Which it is not. They're made.

0:31:46.880 --> 0:31:49.320
<v Speaker 1>We may find when conclusive results come in that i

0:31:49.360 --> 0:31:52.640
<v Speaker 1>ever Metton has a medical case use for COVID nineteen.

0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:56.480
<v Speaker 1>There is a non distinctly non zero chance of that um,

0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:59.640
<v Speaker 1>perhaps even a decent one, that it has specific uses

0:31:59.680 --> 0:32:02.959
<v Speaker 1>in eatment um. It is not a percent effect if

0:32:02.960 --> 0:32:06.160
<v Speaker 1>at stopping you catching COVID. It's just not. You know why.

0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Some of the people who listen to Brett Weinstein are

0:32:08.880 --> 0:32:14.479
<v Speaker 1>dead now. So of course Brett is now doing the

0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>canceled truth tellers circuit. Barry Weiss compared him getting demonetized

0:32:18.920 --> 0:32:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and having videos removed from YouTube to a book burning

0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:26.600
<v Speaker 1>um quote, how have we gotten to the point we're

0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 1>having conversations about important scientific and medical subjects require such

0:32:30.360 --> 0:32:33.120
<v Speaker 1>a high level of personal risk. How have we accepted

0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:35.760
<v Speaker 1>a reality which big tech can carry out the digital

0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:38.160
<v Speaker 1>equivalent of book burnings? And why is it that so

0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:42.400
<v Speaker 1>few people are speaking up against the status quo. Also,

0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:45.520
<v Speaker 1>by the way, Barry, Weiss and Brett would all have

0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 1>been huge fans of the original Nazi book burnings because

0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:52.320
<v Speaker 1>those were deliberately targeting the healthcare of trans people. Um Anyway,

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Joe Rogan has acted as a significant amplifier of Weinstein's nonsense.

0:32:56.760 --> 0:32:59.440
<v Speaker 1>In an episode with comedian Dave Smith, Rogan said that

0:32:59.480 --> 0:33:02.400
<v Speaker 1>he'd been listen thing to Weinstein and Hyans advice on ivermectin.

0:33:02.640 --> 0:33:05.040
<v Speaker 1>In the same episode, he said that COVID vaccines weren't

0:33:05.080 --> 0:33:08.120
<v Speaker 1>necessarily for most people, and that getting them was just

0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 1>virtue signaling for a lot of us. Quote, if you're

0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 1>like twenty one years old and you say to me,

0:33:13.200 --> 0:33:16.760
<v Speaker 1>should I get vaccinated? I'll go no now. In his defense,

0:33:17.120 --> 0:33:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Rogan later called himself a fucking moron for this, which is,

0:33:20.680 --> 0:33:24.560
<v Speaker 1>to be fair, an unequivocal statement of fact, that that

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:27.200
<v Speaker 1>was a stupid fucking thing that he said. The problem

0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:31.040
<v Speaker 1>is that, again, a hundred million people listened to those

0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:34.720
<v Speaker 1>fucking shows. How many of them made healthcare decisions based

0:33:34.720 --> 0:33:37.000
<v Speaker 1>on what you said earlier and maybe didn't catch the

0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:40.200
<v Speaker 1>other thing right Like I found Jordan Peterson tweeting about

0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:42.960
<v Speaker 1>ivermectin and stuff, and he tweets both the positive and

0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the negative studies. Guess which one gets twice as many

0:33:46.240 --> 0:33:51.800
<v Speaker 1>likes and retweets, Like, dude, it's I look, I say

0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:55.320
<v Speaker 1>this as a comedian. Don't fucking listen to us. We

0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:59.520
<v Speaker 1>don't unless we have unless there's footnotes, unless there's ship

0:33:59.600 --> 0:34:03.520
<v Speaker 1>that is like demonstrably but like there, I don't know

0:34:03.680 --> 0:34:07.840
<v Speaker 1>this whole, Like it's just not true, Like don't try.

0:34:07.880 --> 0:34:11.839
<v Speaker 1>Why would you trust someone who makes a living monetizing

0:34:11.840 --> 0:34:16.200
<v Speaker 1>their opinions. That's like the worst, It's impossible. It drives

0:34:16.239 --> 0:34:18.960
<v Speaker 1>me up a wall anytime someone like they're like, oh,

0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:22.600
<v Speaker 1>comedians are the philosophers, and they're like, no, they're they're not. No,

0:34:23.160 --> 0:34:26.360
<v Speaker 1>they monetize their opinions. That are kind of funny sometimes

0:34:26.600 --> 0:34:28.319
<v Speaker 1>like that, you know what. He also had a three

0:34:28.320 --> 0:34:30.919
<v Speaker 1>minute bit about a twelve year old girl's genitals. Maybe

0:34:30.920 --> 0:34:32.959
<v Speaker 1>we shouldn't have listened to any of them that much,

0:34:33.640 --> 0:34:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Like there's so like it's none of it age as well,

0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:44.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not based it's like by design, not based in fact,

0:34:44.760 --> 0:34:50.359
<v Speaker 1>unless they're working in some other fucking capacity, Like why

0:34:50.760 --> 0:34:53.839
<v Speaker 1>obviously Joe Rogan doesn't know what he's talking about. Like

0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:59.160
<v Speaker 1>then his job description that he states his opinions for money.

0:34:59.200 --> 0:35:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I wondered extent. You know, Jamie, you and I both

0:35:02.239 --> 0:35:05.160
<v Speaker 1>worked at Cracked for different periods of time and different

0:35:05.200 --> 0:35:08.040
<v Speaker 1>checks chunks. We both we both cash them checks from

0:35:08.040 --> 0:35:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the old place. Um. And a big part of cracks

0:35:10.880 --> 0:35:14.000
<v Speaker 1>business model was like getting people to pay attention to

0:35:14.880 --> 0:35:18.520
<v Speaker 1>fact based articles, to like to learn things by kind

0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:23.080
<v Speaker 1>of wrapping them in comedy. Um, boy howdy, there isn't

0:35:23.080 --> 0:35:25.080
<v Speaker 1>a day that goes by that. I don't wonder did

0:35:25.120 --> 0:35:26.959
<v Speaker 1>that do more harm than good in the end, because

0:35:26.960 --> 0:35:28.759
<v Speaker 1>obviously we weren't doing this kind of ship. We were

0:35:28.800 --> 0:35:32.480
<v Speaker 1>not giving people healthcare advice about like telling them how

0:35:32.520 --> 0:35:36.640
<v Speaker 1>to take vaccines. But the broader trend of like well,

0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:38.880
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's the same with the John Stewart stuff,

0:35:38.920 --> 0:35:40.719
<v Speaker 1>right the Daily Show, where it's like, well, this is

0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:42.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, quote unquote better news than the real news,

0:35:42.880 --> 0:35:45.160
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, well, no, no, it's not. It. Maybe

0:35:45.400 --> 0:35:49.799
<v Speaker 1>it maybe better news than what talking heads on like

0:35:50.520 --> 0:35:53.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty four hour news channels give you. Sure it may

0:35:53.040 --> 0:35:56.399
<v Speaker 1>be better than like different news anchors, but also what

0:35:56.440 --> 0:35:59.320
<v Speaker 1>they're doing. Is that journalism. They're just reading from a

0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:03.000
<v Speaker 1>fucking pro about actual journalism, Like it's not that's a

0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:07.640
<v Speaker 1>different brand of monetizing your opinions. Like the problem is

0:36:07.680 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 1>so drawt and it's not a right wing problem. The

0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:13.160
<v Speaker 1>right wing has monetized and most effectively and used it

0:36:13.200 --> 0:36:16.919
<v Speaker 1>most effectively to derail human civilization. But it's it's it's

0:36:16.920 --> 0:36:19.320
<v Speaker 1>a human problem and part of the problem like fundamentally

0:36:19.360 --> 0:36:21.320
<v Speaker 1>a big part of the issue that like, if somebody

0:36:21.360 --> 0:36:24.160
<v Speaker 1>makes you laugh, you listen to them because we like

0:36:24.239 --> 0:36:32.000
<v Speaker 1>to laugh. Like sure, I mean we're beneficiaries of that, absolutely, absolutely.

0:36:32.040 --> 0:36:35.040
<v Speaker 1>And there's definitely people who think that I know things

0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:38.360
<v Speaker 1>that I do not know I am. I am a legitimate,

0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:41.400
<v Speaker 1>recognized expert on on two things. One of them is

0:36:41.400 --> 0:36:44.520
<v Speaker 1>how extremist groups use the Internet to recruit and radicalize people,

0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:47.160
<v Speaker 1>and the other is how not to die while taking

0:36:47.160 --> 0:36:49.800
<v Speaker 1>weird research chemicals that you bought off of a Canadian

0:36:49.840 --> 0:36:53.879
<v Speaker 1>pharmaceutical website and anything else that I tell you, I'm

0:36:53.880 --> 0:36:58.200
<v Speaker 1>not an expert. Um, you can ask me about cathy comics,

0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:02.880
<v Speaker 1>and you can ask me about the history of Chucky cheese, animatronics,

0:37:03.160 --> 0:37:08.919
<v Speaker 1>anything else. It's and I don't even I wouldn't even

0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 1>say that I'm like an expert on mensa. I have

0:37:11.160 --> 0:37:13.839
<v Speaker 1>experience with them, I've researched them, but it's I can't

0:37:13.840 --> 0:37:16.200
<v Speaker 1>claim to be the main expert on that. That's a

0:37:16.320 --> 0:37:19.560
<v Speaker 1>very large issue that you saying. That has made me

0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:24.200
<v Speaker 1>decide to make you my primary healthcare provider. Now, how

0:37:24.400 --> 0:37:27.920
<v Speaker 1>much cancer should I have removed? Because I feel like

0:37:28.040 --> 0:37:29.960
<v Speaker 1>some of it's gould to keep, right, you want to

0:37:30.000 --> 0:37:33.719
<v Speaker 1>have some in there just so you don't get lazy, right, Well,

0:37:33.760 --> 0:37:35.919
<v Speaker 1>I like to think of keeping some in there as

0:37:35.960 --> 0:37:42.680
<v Speaker 1>a memory. Yeah. The science of memories is uh is

0:37:42.960 --> 0:37:45.239
<v Speaker 1>very under researched, and I would say that I'm an

0:37:45.239 --> 0:37:48.160
<v Speaker 1>expert in in memories. You want to keep your physical

0:37:48.200 --> 0:37:50.600
<v Speaker 1>ailments in you just about like two or three percent,

0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:53.640
<v Speaker 1>and you do run the risk of them growing and

0:37:53.760 --> 0:37:56.520
<v Speaker 1>hurting you, But don't you wouldn't you be sadder if

0:37:56.560 --> 0:37:59.560
<v Speaker 1>you lost the memory? Absolutely? See, this is the kind

0:37:59.560 --> 0:38:02.919
<v Speaker 1>of hard getting medical advice that podcasts were invented to give.

0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:07.600
<v Speaker 1>It's just like it's it's it's so it's so frustrating

0:38:07.840 --> 0:38:10.880
<v Speaker 1>that this is happening at the end, and at some

0:38:10.920 --> 0:38:13.920
<v Speaker 1>point it's like I feel like Joe Rogan has reached

0:38:13.920 --> 0:38:16.000
<v Speaker 1>this level of cognitive dissonance where he has to tell

0:38:16.080 --> 0:38:20.600
<v Speaker 1>himself that it's you know, not causing the clear harm

0:38:20.680 --> 0:38:24.919
<v Speaker 1>that it's that it's causing because it's like too late

0:38:24.960 --> 0:38:28.680
<v Speaker 1>on his career trajectory to start backpedaling it. That he's

0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:32.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, platforming really dangerous people and has been for

0:38:33.000 --> 0:38:36.520
<v Speaker 1>basically the entire run of his show. I wonder how

0:38:36.600 --> 0:38:38.799
<v Speaker 1>much he thinks about it, because I I fucking do

0:38:38.920 --> 0:38:41.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot, Janie, and I don't try not like I

0:38:41.400 --> 0:38:44.000
<v Speaker 1>don't give people health care advice unless I'm literally reading

0:38:44.239 --> 0:38:48.200
<v Speaker 1>here is the medically recognized advice here, Like with a vaccine,

0:38:48.200 --> 0:38:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you to get the vaccine because there's an

0:38:50.719 --> 0:38:55.640
<v Speaker 1>overwhelming preponderance of evidence that it it saves lives. UM.

0:38:55.680 --> 0:38:57.440
<v Speaker 1>But you know, there's stuff like we did a Bill

0:38:57.440 --> 0:38:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Gates episode, right, and I fucked up a fact in it,

0:39:00.239 --> 0:39:03.520
<v Speaker 1>which was this UM this this circumcision program that I

0:39:03.520 --> 0:39:05.960
<v Speaker 1>still think has some kind of gross undertones. But I

0:39:06.000 --> 0:39:09.120
<v Speaker 1>was wrong about a lot of the negatives of that

0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:11.360
<v Speaker 1>UM and I kind of got I found the source

0:39:11.440 --> 0:39:14.280
<v Speaker 1>that was not UM that I should have vetted more properly,

0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and I recorded a correction. We put it up in

0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:19.640
<v Speaker 1>the episode, but by god, there's still people who will

0:39:19.680 --> 0:39:23.640
<v Speaker 1>like make jokes about that part of the episode that

0:39:23.760 --> 0:39:29.200
<v Speaker 1>makes me think they didn't catch the correction. Um, And

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:32.800
<v Speaker 1>that is which minor compared to showing people not to

0:39:32.800 --> 0:39:35.640
<v Speaker 1>get vaccinated. But it's still like, sure it should worry,

0:39:35.680 --> 0:39:38.600
<v Speaker 1>but did you do this? Yeah, I mean it's it

0:39:38.719 --> 0:39:41.640
<v Speaker 1>is um And I feel like the nature of and

0:39:41.680 --> 0:39:44.960
<v Speaker 1>this isn't even a criticism of Joe Brogan. I mean

0:39:45.000 --> 0:39:49.279
<v Speaker 1>it's this is like the nature of podcasts and the

0:39:49.440 --> 0:39:53.640
<v Speaker 1>nature of a lot of whatever. Like I can't think

0:39:53.680 --> 0:39:56.040
<v Speaker 1>of a less like a worst term in the on

0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:59.239
<v Speaker 1>the planet, but like content creation in general, is that

0:40:00.360 --> 0:40:03.600
<v Speaker 1>there is such a pressure on people to release so

0:40:03.719 --> 0:40:09.640
<v Speaker 1>much so quickly that it's like it's inevitably there's going

0:40:09.680 --> 0:40:14.440
<v Speaker 1>to be stuff that isn't carefully vetted enough because of

0:40:14.760 --> 0:40:17.080
<v Speaker 1>the capitalistic demand for there to be more and more

0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:20.760
<v Speaker 1>and more of it. And it's I mean the amount

0:40:20.920 --> 0:40:22.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you just think of the sheer amount

0:40:22.960 --> 0:40:27.560
<v Speaker 1>of information and just like stuff that Joe Rogan releases

0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:30.120
<v Speaker 1>into the world in a single week, there's no way

0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:33.960
<v Speaker 1>that it could be properly vetted there's not enough time

0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:36.960
<v Speaker 1>to properly vet a show like that, and it's like, well,

0:40:37.000 --> 0:40:41.640
<v Speaker 1>then maybe there's an issue with how it's being done.

0:40:41.800 --> 0:40:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't, but but there's such a clear incentive for

0:40:44.920 --> 0:40:47.719
<v Speaker 1>him to do that that maybe that makes it worth

0:40:47.719 --> 0:40:50.359
<v Speaker 1>the cognitive dissidence that he's clearly hurting people. I don't know,

0:40:50.480 --> 0:40:55.200
<v Speaker 1>it's just it's it's it's a real problem, Jamie. I mean,

0:40:55.280 --> 0:40:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I I don't know. This is this is like the

0:40:58.640 --> 0:41:03.160
<v Speaker 1>biggest moral laundry within my my own life, my own

0:41:03.200 --> 0:41:05.680
<v Speaker 1>personal ethics. Like I'm way less worried about the ethics

0:41:05.680 --> 0:41:09.960
<v Speaker 1>of me personally driving a fucking car that burns gasoline,

0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:12.440
<v Speaker 1>and I am worried about the ethics of life we

0:41:12.520 --> 0:41:14.640
<v Speaker 1>got behind the Bastard's got like five and a half

0:41:14.640 --> 0:41:19.799
<v Speaker 1>million downloads last month, right, and then another one point. Well,

0:41:19.840 --> 0:41:26.279
<v Speaker 1>but I'm something up And depending on what you funk up,

0:41:26.400 --> 0:41:30.719
<v Speaker 1>it can permanently alter someone's the way people think about

0:41:30.760 --> 0:41:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the world. And I'm not trying to be arrogant there.

0:41:33.360 --> 0:41:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I have people talk to me about the influence things

0:41:36.680 --> 0:41:38.719
<v Speaker 1>that I've said have had on them, and I think

0:41:38.760 --> 0:41:41.400
<v Speaker 1>it's generally been positive. Like it's often someone being like

0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I was, you know, on the alt right or whatever

0:41:43.280 --> 0:41:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and like the night, and so I feel fine about that,

0:41:45.560 --> 0:41:49.120
<v Speaker 1>but like you don't actually know what impact you're having

0:41:49.120 --> 0:41:50.759
<v Speaker 1>on all them, because maybe it's more subtled for a

0:41:50.800 --> 0:41:53.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of people. Maybe you say something off handedly that

0:41:53.640 --> 0:41:57.880
<v Speaker 1>is inaccurate, and for whatever reason, it causes someone to

0:41:57.960 --> 0:42:00.279
<v Speaker 1>make a choice they wouldn't eitherwise have made and they're

0:42:00.280 --> 0:42:03.080
<v Speaker 1>not even aware of it. Because when you're producing content

0:42:03.120 --> 0:42:04.880
<v Speaker 1>at that kind of scale, to that kind of that

0:42:04.960 --> 0:42:07.359
<v Speaker 1>many people, I don't know, we should all be more

0:42:07.400 --> 0:42:09.880
<v Speaker 1>concerned about what we're doing for a living. I guess

0:42:11.120 --> 0:42:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I agree. Yeah. I mean it's like we're certainly like

0:42:13.719 --> 0:42:16.000
<v Speaker 1>not above this criticism in any way. It's something that

0:42:16.080 --> 0:42:18.560
<v Speaker 1>like I think about all the time where it's I mean,

0:42:18.640 --> 0:42:20.759
<v Speaker 1>we're we're above it, and that neither you or I

0:42:20.960 --> 0:42:24.360
<v Speaker 1>or pretending or giving people a vice on taking unregulated

0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:28.680
<v Speaker 1>and unapproved medications to treat a pandemic. We are better

0:42:28.760 --> 0:42:32.359
<v Speaker 1>than them, I will say that, Yeah, we're better than

0:42:32.400 --> 0:42:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the people that are killing people. But that but what

0:42:35.080 --> 0:42:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a low bar to clear. I think about that a lot,

0:42:38.080 --> 0:42:40.200
<v Speaker 1>where it's like there's time there's times that people have

0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:44.600
<v Speaker 1>like I don't know, or just sort of you hear

0:42:45.160 --> 0:42:48.319
<v Speaker 1>someone's takeaway from your work repeated back to you, and

0:42:48.440 --> 0:42:51.080
<v Speaker 1>just like I've had moments where someone has said something

0:42:51.120 --> 0:42:53.759
<v Speaker 1>to me of like well when I heard that you

0:42:53.840 --> 0:42:56.400
<v Speaker 1>did this, I was like, oh wow, and and it

0:42:56.520 --> 0:42:59.560
<v Speaker 1>was like, well, that's not really what I was saying.

0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:01.799
<v Speaker 1>That's not really what I was saying, but that's what

0:43:01.880 --> 0:43:06.040
<v Speaker 1>you took away. And that's kind of the the risk

0:43:06.120 --> 0:43:08.400
<v Speaker 1>that you take when you release shipped into the world.

0:43:08.440 --> 0:43:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Like it's just I don't know, I mean with obviously

0:43:12.719 --> 0:43:15.080
<v Speaker 1>not a new problem, but on this like scale and

0:43:15.120 --> 0:43:19.439
<v Speaker 1>in this way, it it really uh is it stressful? Yeah,

0:43:19.480 --> 0:43:22.480
<v Speaker 1>it's made me. Unfortunately, the most influential people on the

0:43:22.480 --> 0:43:25.600
<v Speaker 1>planet don't give a ship. So there you go. Yep,

0:43:26.160 --> 0:43:27.839
<v Speaker 1>so there you They don't think about this at all

0:43:28.600 --> 0:43:32.480
<v Speaker 1>unless they're thinking. So this was a long digression, but

0:43:32.520 --> 0:43:34.879
<v Speaker 1>I think a necessary one. Um. I want to get

0:43:34.880 --> 0:43:38.520
<v Speaker 1>back to that episode. Rogan did the Emergency episode with Weinstein,

0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Weinstein and Dr Pierre Corey Um where they talked about

0:43:41.719 --> 0:43:43.440
<v Speaker 1>how and one of the things they talked about they

0:43:43.440 --> 0:43:46.879
<v Speaker 1>brought up a lot of bad science, including the what

0:43:46.920 --> 0:43:49.560
<v Speaker 1>was it the fucking um um This one of the

0:43:49.600 --> 0:43:53.120
<v Speaker 1>studies we broke down earlier UM, but one of the

0:43:53.160 --> 0:43:55.719
<v Speaker 1>things that Corey talked about in that episode was that

0:43:55.760 --> 0:43:58.720
<v Speaker 1>the virus had been quote eradicated in monkey kidney cells

0:43:58.760 --> 0:44:01.760
<v Speaker 1>in a lab test UH and the cells. The kidney

0:44:01.760 --> 0:44:03.879
<v Speaker 1>cells that they had used are called varo cells, which

0:44:03.880 --> 0:44:07.880
<v Speaker 1>are used by virologists in research UM, including some early

0:44:07.880 --> 0:44:11.760
<v Speaker 1>research into hydroxy larkin last year. But as Wired reported

0:44:11.760 --> 0:44:15.880
<v Speaker 1>in increasing evidence suggests that varrow cells actually might be

0:44:15.960 --> 0:44:18.879
<v Speaker 1>a terrible thing to use for studying treatments to coronavirus

0:44:18.960 --> 0:44:21.759
<v Speaker 1>is in this way. Quote. Human lung cells contain at

0:44:21.840 --> 0:44:24.000
<v Speaker 1>least two different enzymes that can help the virus sneak

0:44:24.000 --> 0:44:26.400
<v Speaker 1>through their membranes. With vario cells, however, only one of

0:44:26.400 --> 0:44:28.680
<v Speaker 1>those modes of entry is available, and it turns out

0:44:28.680 --> 0:44:31.400
<v Speaker 1>to be the one that hydroxy chlorine will block. Pullman

0:44:31.440 --> 0:44:33.600
<v Speaker 1>and his team publish the results in the journal Nature

0:44:33.640 --> 0:44:36.000
<v Speaker 1>on July twenty two. For him, it's a clear example

0:44:36.000 --> 0:44:38.520
<v Speaker 1>of while using human lung cells is really important in

0:44:38.560 --> 0:44:42.160
<v Speaker 1>studying this pandemic virus, varrow cells should be handled with caution.

0:44:42.239 --> 0:44:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Pullman says, it's true that the varo cells are very popular,

0:44:45.400 --> 0:44:48.400
<v Speaker 1>but unfortunately for this particular aspect of COVID nineteen research.

0:44:48.440 --> 0:44:50.839
<v Speaker 1>They are absolutely not useful. I think this is now

0:44:50.880 --> 0:44:54.520
<v Speaker 1>clear to the field. And that's again part of the issue.

0:44:54.800 --> 0:44:57.680
<v Speaker 1>What Corey is saying isn't a lie. You couldn't prosecute

0:44:57.760 --> 0:45:00.160
<v Speaker 1>him for it or like take his medical license. It's

0:45:00.160 --> 0:45:02.360
<v Speaker 1>true that there was a study where they eliminated COVID

0:45:02.440 --> 0:45:04.719
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen and monkey kidney cells in the lab test

0:45:04.840 --> 0:45:07.279
<v Speaker 1>using i've ever met. The problem is that when you

0:45:07.320 --> 0:45:09.600
<v Speaker 1>actually look in varo cells in their use in COVID

0:45:09.719 --> 0:45:13.600
<v Speaker 1>nineteen virology research, they're very flawed. And that's not what

0:45:13.680 --> 0:45:15.960
<v Speaker 1>you're getting in that fucking Joe Rogan episode. And it's

0:45:15.960 --> 0:45:20.800
<v Speaker 1>a thing that it's very frustrated um. In conversations with Rogan,

0:45:20.800 --> 0:45:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Weinstein Pup pushed the extremely successful line of claiming that

0:45:24.000 --> 0:45:26.520
<v Speaker 1>iver mectin is being suppressed as a treatment because it's

0:45:26.560 --> 0:45:29.200
<v Speaker 1>not profitable. You have a drug that's good enough to

0:45:29.280 --> 0:45:31.440
<v Speaker 1>in the pandemic at any point you wanted. Who decides

0:45:31.480 --> 0:45:34.080
<v Speaker 1>to prioritize business interests ahead of that? I find it

0:45:34.120 --> 0:45:37.839
<v Speaker 1>hard to imagine. He speculated that the pharmaceutical industry has

0:45:37.880 --> 0:45:40.680
<v Speaker 1>corrupted the system of approving new drugs and that because

0:45:40.719 --> 0:45:43.560
<v Speaker 1>there's no profit to be made from ivermectin, it's being

0:45:43.600 --> 0:45:48.080
<v Speaker 1>ignored or smothered now. During their emergency episode discussion, Dr

0:45:48.120 --> 0:45:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Pierre Corey backed Weinstein up in this line of reasoning,

0:45:50.840 --> 0:45:53.880
<v Speaker 1>claiming no one is going to fund pharmaceutical trials around

0:45:53.920 --> 0:45:56.800
<v Speaker 1>i've emectin. No one, he said, is championing i've e

0:45:56.880 --> 0:46:00.800
<v Speaker 1>mectin except for my little group of nonprofit doctors. I

0:46:00.880 --> 0:46:03.439
<v Speaker 1>can't say they're not nonprofit. I'm not. Really, my little

0:46:05.320 --> 0:46:11.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean they're not making money. That's how nonprofits work. Yeah, yeah, boy,

0:46:11.280 --> 0:46:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay that was that gave me a migraine. Okay. Also,

0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:20.719
<v Speaker 1>what he said is just objectively untrue. A lot of

0:46:20.719 --> 0:46:24.160
<v Speaker 1>people are funding pharmaceutical trials around ivermectin. A study from

0:46:24.200 --> 0:46:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Spain was published earlier this year that showed no difference

0:46:26.840 --> 0:46:29.960
<v Speaker 1>in outcomes as a result of ivermectin use. Oxford University

0:46:30.040 --> 0:46:32.200
<v Speaker 1>just announced that they would be studying ivermacton as part

0:46:32.200 --> 0:46:34.879
<v Speaker 1>of a massive study on COVID treatments. There have been

0:46:34.920 --> 0:46:38.600
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of studies on ivermectin which are very like

0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:42.200
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of disputing, like different kind of results

0:46:42.280 --> 0:46:44.960
<v Speaker 1>to them, but like it's not. It's not being ignored,

0:46:45.080 --> 0:46:48.360
<v Speaker 1>it's being studied. You're just demanding that people come to

0:46:48.440 --> 0:46:51.200
<v Speaker 1>a conclusion about it before the actual science is there,

0:46:51.239 --> 0:46:54.359
<v Speaker 1>because you're a grifter. Now, it's worth noting that the

0:46:54.400 --> 0:46:58.240
<v Speaker 1>main manufacturer of iver macton Um has also warned people

0:46:58.280 --> 0:47:01.680
<v Speaker 1>against taking their medicine from cod that they recently announced

0:47:01.719 --> 0:47:04.560
<v Speaker 1>that their own product has quote no scientific basis for

0:47:04.640 --> 0:47:08.879
<v Speaker 1>a potential therapeutic effect against COVID nineteen from pre clinical trials,

0:47:08.880 --> 0:47:11.920
<v Speaker 1>no meaningful evidence for clinical activity or clinical efficacy in

0:47:11.960 --> 0:47:14.840
<v Speaker 1>patients with COVID nineteen disease, and a concerning lack of

0:47:14.880 --> 0:47:18.160
<v Speaker 1>safety data. And I'm not one to go to bat

0:47:18.280 --> 0:47:21.040
<v Speaker 1>for big pharma, but they have a profit motive in

0:47:21.880 --> 0:47:24.839
<v Speaker 1>they would make a lot of money by pretending otherwise.

0:47:25.280 --> 0:47:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Um right, So yeah, it's it's like, I don't even

0:47:28.960 --> 0:47:30.840
<v Speaker 1>think it's going too bad for big Farma to say that.

0:47:30.960 --> 0:47:33.239
<v Speaker 1>The fact that they it was this series of an

0:47:33.280 --> 0:47:37.080
<v Speaker 1>issue that yeah, from a like game check, like what

0:47:37.160 --> 0:47:39.200
<v Speaker 1>else do you need to hear? Please stop taking our

0:47:39.239 --> 0:47:43.879
<v Speaker 1>horse medicine for covid? So right, right, they don't do

0:47:43.920 --> 0:47:46.879
<v Speaker 1>that very often. They're not one to pass on a check.

0:47:47.360 --> 0:47:50.239
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about the flcc in the intellectual dark web

0:47:50.280 --> 0:47:52.239
<v Speaker 1>so far. But there's one last bad actor in the

0:47:52.320 --> 0:47:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Iramicton story that I should probably explain, an organization called

0:47:55.960 --> 0:48:00.080
<v Speaker 1>America's Frontline Doctors. These cats came onto the scene in

0:48:00.160 --> 0:48:02.800
<v Speaker 1>July when a group of them gave a press conference

0:48:02.800 --> 0:48:04.840
<v Speaker 1>on the steps of the Supreme Court urging people to

0:48:04.840 --> 0:48:07.880
<v Speaker 1>take hydroxy clerk wine. They claimed that the mental toll

0:48:07.960 --> 0:48:10.279
<v Speaker 1>of the lockdowns was worse than the virus, which by

0:48:10.280 --> 0:48:13.160
<v Speaker 1>that point had killed several hundred thousand Americans. While the

0:48:13.239 --> 0:48:16.800
<v Speaker 1>FLCCC started their public careers by making serious medical claims

0:48:16.840 --> 0:48:18.920
<v Speaker 1>that wound up being very valid, the a f l

0:48:19.000 --> 0:48:21.399
<v Speaker 1>D was bogus from the get go. They timed their

0:48:21.400 --> 0:48:23.960
<v Speaker 1>coming out speech to coincide with a major push President

0:48:24.000 --> 0:48:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Trump made to convince governors to reopen states. The basic

0:48:27.520 --> 0:48:30.440
<v Speaker 1>idea was that hydroxy clerklin was all the medicine American

0:48:30.560 --> 0:48:33.520
<v Speaker 1>needed to reopen. This was patently absurd, and the medical

0:48:33.560 --> 0:48:37.560
<v Speaker 1>community responded accordingly. From time quote, to the extent that

0:48:37.640 --> 0:48:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the mainstream medical community paid attention to the group at all,

0:48:40.040 --> 0:48:42.040
<v Speaker 1>it was to point out that these doctors making the

0:48:42.080 --> 0:48:45.160
<v Speaker 1>statements lacked the expertise to comment. There was no evidence

0:48:45.160 --> 0:48:46.839
<v Speaker 1>that any of the doctors who spoke that day had

0:48:46.840 --> 0:48:50.000
<v Speaker 1>treated patients severely ill with the virus. According to MedPage Today,

0:48:50.160 --> 0:48:52.480
<v Speaker 1>a peer reviewed medical news site, none of them were

0:48:52.520 --> 0:48:55.640
<v Speaker 1>infectious disease experts or worked in intensive care units during

0:48:55.640 --> 0:48:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic. One was best known for promoting bizarre religious beliefs,

0:48:59.239 --> 0:49:03.040
<v Speaker 1>including tweeting that American needed deliverance from demon sperm because

0:49:03.040 --> 0:49:05.400
<v Speaker 1>people were falling ill from having sex with demons and

0:49:05.440 --> 0:49:10.400
<v Speaker 1>witches in their dreams. Two of the front line, two

0:49:10.480 --> 0:49:13.279
<v Speaker 1>of them were ophthalmologists, only one of which was still

0:49:13.360 --> 0:49:19.239
<v Speaker 1>licensed the emergence. Yeah, so again f l C c C.

0:49:19.440 --> 0:49:22.640
<v Speaker 1>These are more credible doctors. But just because someone says

0:49:22.640 --> 0:49:26.040
<v Speaker 1>it's an organization of doctors, dig a little deeper. You

0:49:26.080 --> 0:49:29.280
<v Speaker 1>know who else? Were all doctors? The guys prescribing people

0:49:29.320 --> 0:49:32.160
<v Speaker 1>in l A marijuana back in the mid odds, and

0:49:33.040 --> 0:49:35.359
<v Speaker 1>most of them were day drunk while doing it. They

0:49:35.360 --> 0:49:38.279
<v Speaker 1>were not doing medicine. They were giving us access to pot,

0:49:38.400 --> 0:49:41.040
<v Speaker 1>which it is fine, but it wasn't medicine, which is

0:49:41.960 --> 0:49:47.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a victimless crime, but it's so. The quote from

0:49:47.080 --> 0:49:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Time the emergence of a f l D was a

0:49:49.280 --> 0:49:52.200
<v Speaker 1>coordinated political effort months in the making. The group was

0:49:52.239 --> 0:49:55.320
<v Speaker 1>the brainchild of the Council for National Policy, a secretive

0:49:55.320 --> 0:49:58.880
<v Speaker 1>network of conservative activists. During a May eleventh call of

0:49:58.960 --> 0:50:01.480
<v Speaker 1>CNP members that was leaked to the Center for Media

0:50:01.520 --> 0:50:05.200
<v Speaker 1>and Democracy, a progressive watchdog, group members complained that Trump

0:50:05.239 --> 0:50:07.840
<v Speaker 1>was being slammed for his handling of the pandemic, including

0:50:07.880 --> 0:50:11.120
<v Speaker 1>failing to follow scientific guidelines. The group needed their own

0:50:11.120 --> 0:50:13.600
<v Speaker 1>medical professionals to promote their message, they said, in the

0:50:13.600 --> 0:50:16.240
<v Speaker 1>face of data showing two thirds of Americans were wary

0:50:16.280 --> 0:50:21.919
<v Speaker 1>of restarting the economy, so very much an AstroTurf sort

0:50:21.960 --> 0:50:24.920
<v Speaker 1>of thing to to justify a reopening, you know, at

0:50:24.920 --> 0:50:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the cost of people's lives. Nancy Schultzer, republican activist, had

0:50:29.120 --> 0:50:31.879
<v Speaker 1>spoken up during this call and hinted at the existence

0:50:31.880 --> 0:50:34.080
<v Speaker 1>of the a f l D. Quote, there was a

0:50:34.120 --> 0:50:36.640
<v Speaker 1>coalition of doctors who were extremely pro Trump that have

0:50:36.760 --> 0:50:39.080
<v Speaker 1>been preparing and coming together for a war ahead in

0:50:39.080 --> 0:50:42.080
<v Speaker 1>the campaign on healthcare, and these doctors could be activated

0:50:42.120 --> 0:50:46.319
<v Speaker 1>for this conversation. Now, get it's all out there. All

0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:53.960
<v Speaker 1>of this is public information. Obviously they're talking about they're

0:50:53.960 --> 0:50:57.680
<v Speaker 1>talking about this like they're fucking like deep frozen Marvel

0:50:57.800 --> 0:51:01.680
<v Speaker 1>heroes that they could be activated for a that's just yeah,

0:51:02.160 --> 0:51:08.200
<v Speaker 1>but you know, okay, frozen Marvel hero Jamie who, the

0:51:08.200 --> 0:51:12.280
<v Speaker 1>products and services that support this podcast all crash landed

0:51:12.320 --> 0:51:17.720
<v Speaker 1>into the Arctic while trying to something to do World

0:51:17.719 --> 0:51:20.520
<v Speaker 1>War two? Right? Do they have good butts? Do they

0:51:20.560 --> 0:51:29.000
<v Speaker 1>have good butts? It's incredible sometimes talking about Chris Evans here, right, yeah,

0:51:29.120 --> 0:51:32.879
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about we're talking about but from as look,

0:51:33.080 --> 0:51:36.080
<v Speaker 1>nobody's you know, there's a lot of scientific debate about

0:51:36.160 --> 0:51:40.720
<v Speaker 1>round Iver Mecton. Ain't no debate around Chris evans Is ass. No,

0:51:40.960 --> 0:51:44.719
<v Speaker 1>that's a there's some things that bring people together, and

0:51:44.880 --> 0:51:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Chris Evans's ass is one of those things exactly, and

0:51:49.800 --> 0:51:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a cure for COVID nineteen. Anyway, Roberts what, I don't know.

0:51:56.080 --> 0:51:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I guess it's spreading the rumor that Chris Evans,

0:51:59.360 --> 0:52:02.160
<v Speaker 1>what would you does his like? And I don't want

0:52:02.160 --> 0:52:08.160
<v Speaker 1>to destroy his ass for fake science. The good news

0:52:08.200 --> 0:52:12.279
<v Speaker 1>about Chris Evans's ass is that I don't know. I

0:52:12.320 --> 0:52:21.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know how to continue this joke. So obvious we're back,

0:52:21.280 --> 0:52:25.200
<v Speaker 1>and obviously scientific evidence eventually made it clear that hydroxy

0:52:25.200 --> 0:52:28.239
<v Speaker 1>clorkman is not a miracle cure. We got our vaccines.

0:52:28.280 --> 0:52:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump lost the election, and the virus kept mutating because

0:52:31.400 --> 0:52:34.839
<v Speaker 1>of a bunch of people refused to wait to get

0:52:34.920 --> 0:52:37.960
<v Speaker 1>vaccinated before going on in public and also to get vaccine. Anyway,

0:52:38.000 --> 0:52:41.160
<v Speaker 1>whatever it happened, you know the story, listener. The a

0:52:41.360 --> 0:52:43.680
<v Speaker 1>f l D continued to shift and change to offer

0:52:43.719 --> 0:52:46.880
<v Speaker 1>effective disinformation at every stage of the pandemic. At the start,

0:52:46.920 --> 0:52:49.440
<v Speaker 1>the group's leader, Dr Simone Bold had focused on the

0:52:49.520 --> 0:52:52.200
<v Speaker 1>danger of the lockdown and minimize the deadliness of COVID.

0:52:52.560 --> 0:52:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Once hundreds of thousands of people were dead, she pivoted

0:52:54.920 --> 0:52:57.360
<v Speaker 1>to claiming that hydroxy clorkman could save lives and in

0:52:57.360 --> 0:52:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic, the a f l d s videos were

0:52:59.719 --> 0:53:02.080
<v Speaker 1>regular really shown on info Wars, and the group partnered

0:53:02.080 --> 0:53:04.680
<v Speaker 1>with the right wing conspiracy theorist named Jerome Corsi to

0:53:04.719 --> 0:53:07.520
<v Speaker 1>sell prescriptions for hydroxy poor quin via a sketchy tele

0:53:07.640 --> 0:53:10.840
<v Speaker 1>medicine site. In January, Dr Gold took part in the

0:53:10.920 --> 0:53:14.360
<v Speaker 1>January sixth insurrection. The A f l D sent emails

0:53:14.400 --> 0:53:18.000
<v Speaker 1>to their begging for urgent and generous donations to withstand

0:53:18.040 --> 0:53:20.960
<v Speaker 1>such aggressive assaults from the ruthless enemies of free speech.

0:53:21.320 --> 0:53:24.400
<v Speaker 1>They raised nearly half a million dollars for Gold's legal defense.

0:53:24.719 --> 0:53:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I know it's rad right, Oh my god, it's good. Okay,

0:53:30.520 --> 0:53:34.160
<v Speaker 1>just keep reading this. The al spent the spring and

0:53:34.239 --> 0:53:37.360
<v Speaker 1>early summer engaging in predictable grifts. They held a national

0:53:37.520 --> 0:53:39.840
<v Speaker 1>RV tour, which sold v I P tickets for a

0:53:39.880 --> 0:53:42.640
<v Speaker 1>thousand bucks a pop to meet Dr Gold complaints. On

0:53:42.680 --> 0:53:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the l a f l D telegram channel, they could

0:53:45.040 --> 0:53:48.160
<v Speaker 1>clear that these appearances were regularly canceled at the last minute.

0:53:48.480 --> 0:53:50.840
<v Speaker 1>One user in Cleveland wrote on June twenty two that

0:53:51.120 --> 0:53:54.440
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of US registered and received no information or cancelation notice,

0:53:54.520 --> 0:53:56.520
<v Speaker 1>to which the a f l D monitors responded the

0:53:56.560 --> 0:53:59.880
<v Speaker 1>events could quote continue only when everyone donates what they

0:54:00.040 --> 0:54:04.640
<v Speaker 1>hand monthly. Just a fucking grift. With the luster off

0:54:04.640 --> 0:54:06.960
<v Speaker 1>of hydroxy corkland, the A f l D focus of

0:54:07.080 --> 0:54:09.719
<v Speaker 1>messaging on just being anti vax for a while. They

0:54:09.760 --> 0:54:13.719
<v Speaker 1>called the vaccines experimental biological agents and blamed them for

0:54:13.719 --> 0:54:16.600
<v Speaker 1>forty five thousand deaths. All of this was pretty bog

0:54:16.640 --> 0:54:19.000
<v Speaker 1>standard stuff, and the A f l D was honestly

0:54:19.080 --> 0:54:21.840
<v Speaker 1>languishing a little behind the pack in terms of COVID

0:54:21.880 --> 0:54:26.560
<v Speaker 1>disinformation until ivermectin came onto the scene. When it did,

0:54:26.920 --> 0:54:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the A f l D turned out to have the

0:54:29.040 --> 0:54:32.040
<v Speaker 1>best infrastructure in place to take advantage of it because

0:54:32.080 --> 0:54:34.839
<v Speaker 1>they had been They had this telemedicine network, They had

0:54:34.840 --> 0:54:37.480
<v Speaker 1>these deals with like companies with pharmacies and whatnot through

0:54:37.480 --> 0:54:40.920
<v Speaker 1>a telemedicine network to prescribe people hydroxy corkland, and they

0:54:40.960 --> 0:54:43.359
<v Speaker 1>were able to just pivot that ship to getting people

0:54:43.400 --> 0:54:46.320
<v Speaker 1>prescriptions for ivermectin, And they had a hundred and sixty

0:54:46.320 --> 0:54:49.880
<v Speaker 1>thousand followers on their telegram channels to sell shipped. To

0:54:50.280 --> 0:54:54.040
<v Speaker 1>quote from Time, two pharmacists told Time they were alarmed

0:54:54.040 --> 0:54:55.840
<v Speaker 1>when they noticed an odd surgeon I ever met in

0:54:55.880 --> 0:54:59.120
<v Speaker 1>prescriptions called in by telemedicine doctors in recent weeks. We're

0:54:59.120 --> 0:55:01.560
<v Speaker 1>calling it the second coming of hydroxy poor quint. When

0:55:01.560 --> 0:55:04.359
<v Speaker 1>pharmacist in Maine says noting he had seen prescriptions come

0:55:04.360 --> 0:55:08.520
<v Speaker 1>in from quack telehealth prescribers in Texas, Florida, Illinois, and California,

0:55:08.880 --> 0:55:10.920
<v Speaker 1>it's wild to me and other pharmacists I've talked to

0:55:10.960 --> 0:55:12.719
<v Speaker 1>you how people won't get a vaccine that is well

0:55:12.760 --> 0:55:15.840
<v Speaker 1>tolerated and effective because it's experimental, but they'll take a

0:55:15.840 --> 0:55:18.680
<v Speaker 1>dose of ipromectin that's been extrapolated based on weight from

0:55:18.719 --> 0:55:22.680
<v Speaker 1>equine veterinary guidelines. On social media, a f l D

0:55:22.760 --> 0:55:25.120
<v Speaker 1>is one of the top organizations steering customers to the

0:55:25.160 --> 0:55:28.440
<v Speaker 1>de warming medication as a coronavirus treatment. On its website,

0:55:28.440 --> 0:55:30.959
<v Speaker 1>people looking for COVID nineteen medicine are told to click

0:55:30.960 --> 0:55:34.120
<v Speaker 1>on the link labeled contact a Physician and pay ninety

0:55:34.160 --> 0:55:37.920
<v Speaker 1>dollars for a consultation. The link takes customers to another website,

0:55:38.000 --> 0:55:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Speak with an m D, where they're asked to submit

0:55:40.320 --> 0:55:43.040
<v Speaker 1>payment information and told one of the frontline doctors will

0:55:43.080 --> 0:55:46.320
<v Speaker 1>call them within a few days, with sick patients being prioritized.

0:55:46.520 --> 0:55:49.880
<v Speaker 1>The group describes this is the same process that you, like,

0:55:50.120 --> 0:55:52.000
<v Speaker 1>get your dog to be able to go on a

0:55:52.080 --> 0:55:56.520
<v Speaker 1>plane with you an emotional support dog system, whereas your

0:55:56.560 --> 0:55:58.719
<v Speaker 1>just give someone a hundred dollars and then you get

0:55:58.760 --> 0:56:00.880
<v Speaker 1>to do what you want for base stically no reason

0:56:01.080 --> 0:56:02.960
<v Speaker 1>or to not have to pay sorry to like get

0:56:03.000 --> 0:56:09.080
<v Speaker 1>your dog into a building, which is fine. So the

0:56:09.120 --> 0:56:12.480
<v Speaker 1>service they use is called Encore Telemedicine, which is one

0:56:12.520 --> 0:56:15.320
<v Speaker 1>of a bunch of different services that purports to connect

0:56:15.400 --> 0:56:18.319
<v Speaker 1>patients to doctors who can write prescriptions. A lot of

0:56:18.320 --> 0:56:21.600
<v Speaker 1>perfectly legitimate services do this. I've gotten prescriptions for allergy

0:56:21.640 --> 0:56:23.200
<v Speaker 1>meds and the like renew it this way. But the

0:56:23.280 --> 0:56:25.880
<v Speaker 1>doctor I do telemedicine through was also a real doctor

0:56:25.880 --> 0:56:31.120
<v Speaker 1>that I visited in person since two Well, yeah, my

0:56:31.280 --> 0:56:33.719
<v Speaker 1>doctor offers you can do like follow up visits and

0:56:33.719 --> 0:56:36.960
<v Speaker 1>stuff via zoom and stuff during the pandemic, and so

0:56:37.000 --> 0:56:41.840
<v Speaker 1>it's like, yeah, I believe you're visiting a real doctor. Yeah, yeah,

0:56:42.160 --> 0:56:44.520
<v Speaker 1>for that, I'm visiting a real doctor. When I went

0:56:44.640 --> 0:56:47.920
<v Speaker 1>ketemy and I go to a Mexican veterinary well actually

0:56:48.040 --> 0:56:49.880
<v Speaker 1>usually just to feed supply story. They sell it O

0:56:50.000 --> 0:56:54.560
<v Speaker 1>TC over there. Rot. Do you want some ketamine? Jamie?

0:56:55.520 --> 0:56:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Want not today? I mean give me a couple of weeks.

0:57:00.040 --> 0:57:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Say your friend's dog has nerve pain. Oh, I've h

0:57:07.320 --> 0:57:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know. You're doing what you're

0:57:10.160 --> 0:57:12.200
<v Speaker 1>doing what all those boys in high school tried to

0:57:12.200 --> 0:57:15.960
<v Speaker 1>do to be It's funny because I went with a friend, Uh,

0:57:16.240 --> 0:57:20.919
<v Speaker 1>well he tried to get ketamine first, allegedly. Uh. And

0:57:21.120 --> 0:57:24.920
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't sell him ketamine because he's like tattoos his

0:57:24.920 --> 0:57:27.360
<v Speaker 1>own hands and just looked like the kind of person

0:57:27.400 --> 0:57:30.960
<v Speaker 1>who was trying to buy drugs from Mexican veterinary store.

0:57:31.840 --> 0:57:34.280
<v Speaker 1>And I just like memorized how to say. I think

0:57:34.280 --> 0:57:38.160
<v Speaker 1>it was Mi amigos pero es delores de nervos katemino portovore,

0:57:38.320 --> 0:57:42.240
<v Speaker 1>which crudely means my friend's dog has nerve pain. Can

0:57:42.320 --> 0:57:44.880
<v Speaker 1>you give me some ketamine? And by god it worked

0:57:44.920 --> 0:57:48.960
<v Speaker 1>every time? That is, how can you get medicine for

0:57:49.040 --> 0:57:54.120
<v Speaker 1>your friend's dog? That makes no sense? Uh? You know what,

0:57:56.080 --> 0:58:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I know you didn't fool Yeah, So anyway, since two

0:58:03.160 --> 0:58:06.200
<v Speaker 1>thousand fifteen, Encore has been run from a golf club

0:58:06.200 --> 0:58:09.840
<v Speaker 1>in suburban Georgia, so not a real doctor. About as

0:58:09.920 --> 0:58:15.080
<v Speaker 1>legitimate as my ability to get Academy prescriptions written from

0:58:15.200 --> 0:58:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Encore go through Ravcup, a digital pharmacy in Florida whose

0:58:18.800 --> 0:58:22.400
<v Speaker 1>address Time describes as quote a dilapidated white structure by

0:58:22.440 --> 0:58:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a strip mall. Rev coup calls in prescription orders to

0:58:25.600 --> 0:58:29.160
<v Speaker 1>local pharmacy sounds like a fake name. Like either fake

0:58:29.320 --> 0:58:34.520
<v Speaker 1>name is even bad m it's good ship um. When

0:58:34.520 --> 0:58:37.520
<v Speaker 1>the service switched over to selling prescriptions for ivermectin, Time

0:58:37.560 --> 0:58:40.960
<v Speaker 1>notes their telegram channels for complaints about the service quote.

0:58:41.320 --> 0:58:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Many users call the arrangement a fraud. Still no drugs

0:58:44.360 --> 0:58:47.960
<v Speaker 1>as has prescribed, have not heard from their pharmacy. Very disappointing,

0:58:48.000 --> 0:58:50.760
<v Speaker 1>wrote one user on telegram August first. It took my

0:58:50.800 --> 0:58:53.840
<v Speaker 1>money though, definitely feels like a scam. That same day,

0:58:53.880 --> 0:58:57.400
<v Speaker 1>another frustrated customer wrote, you tell us the vaccine producers

0:58:57.400 --> 0:58:59.680
<v Speaker 1>are getting rich office. Seems like you are doing very

0:58:59.680 --> 0:59:03.800
<v Speaker 1>well yourselves. Yeah, maybe follow that line of thought, buddy.

0:59:04.440 --> 0:59:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Other supporters who had been promised they speak to a

0:59:07.440 --> 0:59:10.040
<v Speaker 1>f l DS trained physicians were upset when the doctor

0:59:10.080 --> 0:59:13.080
<v Speaker 1>pressed them to get the vaccine during a paid phone consultation.

0:59:13.440 --> 0:59:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Not happy at all with that. But one woman who

0:59:15.560 --> 0:59:17.920
<v Speaker 1>said her doctor's telemedicine doctor had told her to get

0:59:18.000 --> 0:59:21.480
<v Speaker 1>vaccinated in addition to prescribing iver medon, I felt I

0:59:21.520 --> 0:59:24.840
<v Speaker 1>could trust them not to push the vaccine. Severely disappointed.

0:59:26.360 --> 0:59:29.720
<v Speaker 1>He's giving you the drugs like come on. Dozens of

0:59:29.760 --> 0:59:32.200
<v Speaker 1>messages reviewed by Time were from people with sick family

0:59:32.200 --> 0:59:34.280
<v Speaker 1>members who were begging for a f l d S

0:59:34.400 --> 0:59:37.560
<v Speaker 1>to escalate their cases. A woman named Cynthia, who had

0:59:37.600 --> 0:59:39.720
<v Speaker 1>paid the fee ninety dollars is a lot for us,

0:59:39.760 --> 0:59:41.959
<v Speaker 1>she said, wrote that she had never been called back.

0:59:42.200 --> 0:59:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Please help, my husband is sick and it looks like

0:59:44.800 --> 0:59:48.840
<v Speaker 1>he does have a hard time breathing. Moderators for the

0:59:48.880 --> 0:59:51.680
<v Speaker 1>A f l D s group on Telegram have tried

0:59:51.720 --> 0:59:53.960
<v Speaker 1>to claim that issues with the service or the fault

0:59:54.000 --> 0:59:56.360
<v Speaker 1>of the CDC, who they say have carried out a

0:59:56.360 --> 0:59:59.880
<v Speaker 1>blockade on iver mecton. When clients complain about failing to

1:00:00.000 --> 1:00:02.720
<v Speaker 1>received services once their physician fee is paid, a f

1:00:02.840 --> 1:00:04.960
<v Speaker 1>l D claims that this is out of their hands

1:00:05.040 --> 1:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>quote because of hippa. But there is no blockade of ivermectin.

1:00:09.280 --> 1:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>The simple reality is that all these groups have so

1:00:11.640 --> 1:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>thoroughly fucked the information ecosystem around COVID that people have

1:00:15.520 --> 1:00:18.240
<v Speaker 1>bought up every pill, dip and paste body they can find,

1:00:18.640 --> 1:00:21.080
<v Speaker 1>while Joe Rogan and others like him get the prescribed

1:00:21.240 --> 1:00:24.080
<v Speaker 1>human version of the drug. Desperate people who believe the

1:00:24.160 --> 1:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>f l C, C c R, A f l D

1:00:25.920 --> 1:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>or Brett Weinstein often wound up self medicating with fucking

1:00:29.200 --> 1:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>sheep dip. And this brings us to Facebook. Of all

1:00:32.360 --> 1:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>the things we've talked about, most of the ivermectin Facebook

1:00:35.880 --> 1:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>stuff is not a grift. It's the result of guys

1:00:38.840 --> 1:00:42.520
<v Speaker 1>at the top, like Dr Corey and Weinstein spreading vaccine

1:00:42.560 --> 1:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>distrust in vague bullshit about ivermectin and institutions like the

1:00:46.480 --> 1:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>a f l D being unable to provide prescriptions for

1:00:49.320 --> 1:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>most of their clients. A lot of people who believe

1:00:51.600 --> 1:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>the ship are too poor to use these service as anyway,

1:00:54.080 --> 1:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>so they turn to veterinary medicine and so and because

1:00:59.000 --> 1:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>like they're trying to figure out how to use it, right,

1:01:00.760 --> 1:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>they want advice they can't afford to use any of

1:01:02.720 --> 1:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>these other services. They get on Facebook groups, right, These

1:01:05.240 --> 1:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>are not There are grifters in these groups. There are

1:01:07.880 --> 1:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>people who like scan for just like what random medications

1:01:11.040 --> 1:01:12.880
<v Speaker 1>people are telling you to to take on Facebook and

1:01:12.920 --> 1:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>then buy them up to sell them and stuff like

1:01:14.760 --> 1:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>that does happen. But most of these people just think

1:01:18.080 --> 1:01:23.680
<v Speaker 1>they're protecting their family and are very bad at vetting information. Um.

1:01:23.720 --> 1:01:26.480
<v Speaker 1>So there's a shipload of these ivermected Facebook groups. Some

1:01:26.520 --> 1:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>of them have tens of thousands of members. More pop

1:01:28.720 --> 1:01:31.960
<v Speaker 1>up every day. Vice did a solid investigation where they

1:01:31.960 --> 1:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>looked at several of these groups and quote in another

1:01:34.800 --> 1:01:37.440
<v Speaker 1>group with more than two thousand members, an administrator focused

1:01:37.440 --> 1:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday on updated protocols from the Frontline COVID nineteen Critical

1:01:40.840 --> 1:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Care Alliance the FLCCC, the administrator wrote, is as of

1:01:44.640 --> 1:01:47.040
<v Speaker 1>this week advising people to take two to three times

1:01:47.040 --> 1:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>as much iver mectin as it had previously recommended for

1:01:49.600 --> 1:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>early treatment of COVID. Members of the group studied charts

1:01:52.760 --> 1:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and attempt to find out just how much they would

1:01:54.600 --> 1:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>need to squirrel away. And yet another group, which has

1:01:57.040 --> 1:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty six thousand members and promotes itself as a medical team,

1:02:00.080 --> 1:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>a user who had just tested positive for COVID, asked

1:02:02.840 --> 1:02:06.240
<v Speaker 1>for help. I tested positive this afternoon, day two of symptoms,

1:02:06.240 --> 1:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>she wrote, and I literally cleaned out my pharmacy supply

1:02:08.840 --> 1:02:10.600
<v Speaker 1>of ever mecton and I only have enough for two

1:02:10.600 --> 1:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>doses until Friday. I'm one pill short of each dose

1:02:13.520 --> 1:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>from my weight. Basically, I have to skip a day

1:02:15.760 --> 1:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>and I can only have one dose accurately weight based

1:02:18.120 --> 1:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>until I get more on Friday. Should I take one

1:02:20.440 --> 1:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>full weight based dose and one less than weight based

1:02:22.840 --> 1:02:25.480
<v Speaker 1>or two equal doses both the same amount. Either way,

1:02:25.480 --> 1:02:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I have to skip a whole day, which is disappointing.

1:02:28.200 --> 1:02:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Users advised her to frontload her dosing from maximum efficacy.

1:02:32.840 --> 1:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Facebook's rules officially prohibit this sort of thing. You're not

1:02:36.320 --> 1:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>allowed to sell fake cures for COVID or make claims

1:02:38.760 --> 1:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>that are unfounded COVID treatments. But the reality is that

1:02:41.160 --> 1:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the sheer size of Facebook makes moderation impossible and they

1:02:44.120 --> 1:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>don't really try. Um. When Vice brought specific groups up

1:02:47.800 --> 1:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to Facebook, those groups were removed. But I ever, meta

1:02:50.240 --> 1:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>aficionados keep creating new slang terms to use for the

1:02:53.080 --> 1:02:55.760
<v Speaker 1>medication in order to evade sensors. We saw this with

1:02:55.760 --> 1:02:58.840
<v Speaker 1>like the Boogloo boys going with big Igloo or whatever. Right,

1:02:58.920 --> 1:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just how this ship works. In these groups, people

1:03:01.880 --> 1:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>don't just provide each other with advice on how to

1:03:03.880 --> 1:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>acquire and take ivor macdon. They provide emotional support for

1:03:07.360 --> 1:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>what they believe as an unfair crusade against what doctor

1:03:11.440 --> 1:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Corey calls a wonder drug. Quote help a person posted

1:03:15.480 --> 1:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>to a Facebook group laying out the particulars of how

1:03:17.720 --> 1:03:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a family member hospitalized with COVID nineteen was being treated

1:03:20.480 --> 1:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>with oxygen, antibiotics, steroids and expectorants. He's going downhill fast.

1:03:24.680 --> 1:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>They're not willing to give him iver mecdon. Why do

1:03:27.640 --> 1:03:30.200
<v Speaker 1>hospitals not allowed treatment of iver mecdin. I still can't

1:03:30.200 --> 1:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>wrap my mind around it. Another distressed person who described

1:03:32.880 --> 1:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>their father being hospitalized with COVID nineteen posted to a

1:03:35.520 --> 1:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Facebook group is it straight up money? Later, this person

1:03:38.880 --> 1:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>updated their post. I just talked to the doctor with

1:03:41.520 --> 1:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>all the bad news. I asked him about iver mecdin.

1:03:44.120 --> 1:03:46.120
<v Speaker 1>He said the words that will haunt me forever, iver

1:03:46.200 --> 1:03:49.040
<v Speaker 1>mecton as a quack. This fucking doctor trolled me as

1:03:49.080 --> 1:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>he's telling me my dad is dying. Oh my god.

1:03:56.320 --> 1:04:00.920
<v Speaker 1>M hmm. It's rough ship now when taken as direct excuse, Jamie,

1:04:01.880 --> 1:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>ivermectin is actually a very safe drug if you are

1:04:04.400 --> 1:04:06.200
<v Speaker 1>taking it the way it is supposed to be taken

1:04:06.640 --> 1:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and taking it for things that it helps with. Yes,

1:04:09.880 --> 1:04:12.479
<v Speaker 1>it's a very safe drug, but many of these people

1:04:12.520 --> 1:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>are just buying horse paste and taking crude calculations again,

1:04:15.120 --> 1:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>like the FLCCC just tripled how much they recommend you

1:04:17.800 --> 1:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>say overdoses of ivor mactan are becoming increasingly common and

1:04:21.200 --> 1:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>have a variety of side effects from blurred vision, dizziness, hallucinations,

1:04:24.840 --> 1:04:28.760
<v Speaker 1>lung issues, comas, and seizures. According to the CDC, there

1:04:28.760 --> 1:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>has been a three increase in calls to poison centers

1:04:32.000 --> 1:04:34.600
<v Speaker 1>this year and a fivefold increase from the baseline in July,

1:04:35.040 --> 1:04:37.160
<v Speaker 1>and most of that is believed to be resulting from

1:04:37.160 --> 1:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>ib mactin use. In Mississippi, at least thirteen people called

1:04:40.400 --> 1:04:42.919
<v Speaker 1>poison control if you're taking iver mactin in a single month.

1:04:43.200 --> 1:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Sevent of those calls from people who ingested veterinary forms

1:04:46.560 --> 1:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>of the drug, and like as I. After I finished

1:04:49.640 --> 1:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>this episode, there were new articles one patients overdosing on

1:04:52.520 --> 1:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>ivry mactan are backing up rural Oklahoma hospitals and ambulances

1:04:56.160 --> 1:05:01.080
<v Speaker 1>from news for UM. Yeah, Dr Gellia said that patients

1:05:01.080 --> 1:05:03.960
<v Speaker 1>are packing his Eastern and Southeastern Oklahoma hospitals after taking

1:05:04.000 --> 1:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I ever met indoses meant for a full size horse. UM.

1:05:07.280 --> 1:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>The e r s are so backed up that gunshot

1:05:09.280 --> 1:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>victims are having hard times getting to facilities where they

1:05:11.800 --> 1:05:17.280
<v Speaker 1>can get definitive care and treated. So that's fu UM.

1:05:17.320 --> 1:05:20.840
<v Speaker 1>And there's another one. It's just yeah, I've met in.

1:05:20.880 --> 1:05:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Poison control calls increased in Minnesota in mid COVID nineteen pandemic. Sorry,

1:05:25.200 --> 1:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I won't even read a quote. It just keeps happening.

1:05:27.640 --> 1:05:31.439
<v Speaker 1>It's everywhere. It's increasingly common. Um, So yeah, and it's

1:05:31.480 --> 1:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>and and and the fact that this is even happening.

1:05:34.160 --> 1:05:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just I don't know, the Facebook group

1:05:38.480 --> 1:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>uh posts, those are so fucking stark, And it's like,

1:05:42.240 --> 1:05:45.080
<v Speaker 1>in order to even and I'm I guess I'm speaking

1:05:45.080 --> 1:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>strictly to Americans specifically, or you know, people from rich

1:05:49.840 --> 1:05:53.880
<v Speaker 1>countries that have plenty of fucking vaccines, um that it's

1:05:53.880 --> 1:05:57.080
<v Speaker 1>like this in order to be engaging really firmly with

1:05:57.280 --> 1:06:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you know that kind of stuff, you've already been sold

1:06:01.600 --> 1:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>and convinced of several bills of lies like this, The

1:06:06.840 --> 1:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>iver imacting thing is several layers deep, and things that

1:06:09.840 --> 1:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>you already needed to have believed in order to get

1:06:13.080 --> 1:06:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to the point where this would be sold to you

1:06:16.760 --> 1:06:19.760
<v Speaker 1>as an idea of hope and an idea of of

1:06:19.760 --> 1:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>of handling disease. It's just, God, it's terrible. It's terrible

1:06:25.640 --> 1:06:28.360
<v Speaker 1>because it's like, I don't know, it's when stories like this,

1:06:28.480 --> 1:06:32.919
<v Speaker 1>it always it's hard because it's like they're whatever. People

1:06:32.960 --> 1:06:36.840
<v Speaker 1>are firing off tweets that are objectively funny about ship

1:06:36.960 --> 1:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>like this. But then when you when you hear comments

1:06:39.000 --> 1:06:42.200
<v Speaker 1>like that and you hear specific things, it's like those.

1:06:42.760 --> 1:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>It's just like several layers of coercion and desperateness that

1:06:50.960 --> 1:06:53.800
<v Speaker 1>lead to the way people the way people are acting

1:06:53.800 --> 1:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>and putting themselves in their families at risk. Like it's

1:06:56.640 --> 1:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>just talking off so things I learned. So I just

1:07:01.520 --> 1:07:04.800
<v Speaker 1>mentioned blurred vision isn't common overdose side effect and ivermectin.

1:07:05.720 --> 1:07:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Because of this, a lot of people in these Facebook

1:07:08.080 --> 1:07:10.360
<v Speaker 1>groups are not telling each other that you know it's

1:07:10.400 --> 1:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>working when your vision gets blurred. That now people are

1:07:15.440 --> 1:07:22.160
<v Speaker 1>giving themselves river blindness. It's amazing. Um, there's I'm not

1:07:22.200 --> 1:07:23.520
<v Speaker 1>going to go in and read these, but there's a

1:07:23.560 --> 1:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of reports of people pooping what they think are

1:07:25.640 --> 1:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>worms and now they're convincing themselves like, oh, I've got

1:07:28.280 --> 1:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>parasites and what's actually happening. We talked about this in

1:07:31.040 --> 1:07:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the Bleached Drinking Church episode, where like parents are forced

1:07:33.760 --> 1:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>to bleached to their artistic kids to cure it, and

1:07:35.840 --> 1:07:38.000
<v Speaker 1>they see that they're like passing all of these these

1:07:38.040 --> 1:07:40.320
<v Speaker 1>they're they're full of parasites. They're passing these worms. It's

1:07:40.360 --> 1:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>intestinal lining. They're shifting out the landing of their intestines

1:07:43.520 --> 1:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>because they put so much poison into their fucking bodies. Um,

1:07:48.400 --> 1:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>it's just without it's like as I'm talking about Yeah, yeah, hm,

1:07:56.800 --> 1:07:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Yeah, it's a lot of what we

1:07:59.680 --> 1:08:03.160
<v Speaker 1>were talking amote in part one and also now is

1:08:03.360 --> 1:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>is like it to me? And I'm not an expert

1:08:05.680 --> 1:08:08.880
<v Speaker 1>in in this in any way, but it seems like

1:08:08.920 --> 1:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the issues with autism anti vaxers was

1:08:14.040 --> 1:08:17.120
<v Speaker 1>that they read a bunch of bullshit studies that were

1:08:17.160 --> 1:08:19.840
<v Speaker 1>not proven, and we're later redacted, but it didn't matter

1:08:19.880 --> 1:08:21.880
<v Speaker 1>because the damage had already been done and it's like

1:08:21.920 --> 1:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>that same exact pattern is present here. Yeah, and when

1:08:25.800 --> 1:08:30.080
<v Speaker 1>that study gets redacted, that's just proof that the deep

1:08:30.160 --> 1:08:36.160
<v Speaker 1>state censorship. Yeah. Ship anyway, Jamie, how you feeling? That's

1:08:36.160 --> 1:08:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the episode? Oh man demolished? How are you? Oh? Pretty good?

1:08:44.200 --> 1:08:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I think I might get back out onto my Lana.

1:08:46.040 --> 1:08:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I pick a couple of tomatoes, you know. Oh yeah, Well,

1:08:50.280 --> 1:08:52.680
<v Speaker 1>as long as you're as as long as you're on

1:08:52.720 --> 1:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>the Lanai consuming your produce that I think that you know,

1:08:56.200 --> 1:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>you'll you'll be fine. I've got to go. I've got

1:08:58.840 --> 1:09:01.400
<v Speaker 1>to go take five rain pills and sweat in a

1:09:01.520 --> 1:09:09.439
<v Speaker 1>freezing cold room. That idea sounds like we're doing yes, yes,

1:09:09.600 --> 1:09:12.559
<v Speaker 1>it's the new golden standard for all comedians. We have

1:09:12.680 --> 1:09:15.639
<v Speaker 1>to do it or we'll never work in this town again.

1:09:15.800 --> 1:09:21.280
<v Speaker 1>That this town being Austin, Texas, of course, mhm, the

1:09:21.320 --> 1:09:24.719
<v Speaker 1>only town, in my opinion, Jamie, where can the good

1:09:24.760 --> 1:09:28.000
<v Speaker 1>people on the internet find you other than Austin, Texas

1:09:28.080 --> 1:09:32.320
<v Speaker 1>where you are no longer allowed? After I was, I

1:09:32.360 --> 1:09:38.720
<v Speaker 1>was banished, I was banished. Listen I sweat too good?

1:09:38.760 --> 1:09:41.880
