 One comment on the news, because how could I not comment on the news day, our, you know, panicky, ridiculous president in charge has, yeah, Khazoni, December 8th at the University of Texas in Austin. I mean, it's our final, but it looks good that that will happen. Presidents in chief or whatever in chief are panicky, panicky in chief, proving that, you know, that now everything is political and everything, I don't need these headphones that everything is political and everything is a disaster and everything is a mess. Today, Joe Biden announced basically the closest we've come to a vaccine mandate. So he is going to ask, I mean, it's one thing that he has decided all federal workers have to be vaccinated. Fine. I mean, I hope half of them resign and they can't find replacement and the government shrinks by half. I mean, I don't have that much sympathy for government employees, but this is the thing that is really fascist and awful and horrible and just a continuation of what has happened in the past and kind of where we're heading. He announced today that I'm leaning it on the mic because I get excited and then I go back and I lean back in because I get excited. It's what I do. Announced today that he is going to ask OSHA. OSHA is the, I don't know what it stands for, but it's the work safety bureaucracy. It's the agency and the government responsible for work safety. They like, they like, send the inspectors to make sure everybody's waving hard hats in a construction site and that everything is good in a factory or whatever, right? OSHA. He is instructing OSHA to mandate that every company that has more than 100 people mandate that all their employees be vaccinated. In the name of workplace safety. Now that's just more of the same. The kind of authoritarianism that we saw from Trump with the, what do you call it, eviction moratorium, right? Let's have the CVC. In the name of fighting COVID issue, a, what do you call it, an eviction moratorium. What's it going to do with the CVC? What does the CVC have to do with landlords and renters and whether they pay their rent or not? It has nothing to do with it. But OSHA, thank you best friend Hank, occupational health, safety administration, has nothing to do with vaccines, has nothing to do with COVID. But if you, if you come to work and you're not vaccinated, you're a threat to the vaccinated people. No, if you are not vaccinated, you're a threat to primarily mostly to yourself. But the reason for doing this is pretty clear. This has nothing to do with science. This has nothing to do with COVID. This has nothing to do with anything related to what is on the minds of Americans right now. This has everything to do with Afghanistan. You might be laughing. What is your on talking about? How has this got to do with Afghanistan? This is basically to divert attention from the Biden administration's complete and utter unequivocal failure with Afghanistan and, and how embarrassed they look and the pop, you know, his ratings, favorable ratings plummeted to, to Trump like numbers. And basically what he's doing is he's trying to create as much story as much he's acting. He's competent. He knows what he's doing. He's using government to bring about the common good by forcing and cursing us. So he is trying to divert attention from his failures to show himself as strong and active and engaged with this vaccine mandate and a six point plan to destroy COVID and everything else. So it's, it's, it's all charade. It's all smoke and mirrors. It's all politics, all politics has nothing to do with COVID. It has nothing to do with anything except the use of force in order to strengthen the political hand of a, of a president in decline. And it'll probably work because most Americans love this kind of stuff, unfortunately. All right. So I mean, it's time to say about vaccine mandates, but you know, it's boring and it's predictable and we're all against it. And Apollo says Brett Weinstein and Rogan saying vaccine, not as effective as natural immunity, the virus, maybe, but so what, what does that have to do with it? Natural immunity is more generalized against different strains, probably. But so what, you know, none of that. I don't think any of that is important. The fact is most people haven't had, I mean, my view is, and I'm going to do this about COVID and then I'm not talking about COVID because we're going to notice the positive topic that we have listed today. I'm going to say this about COVID. I've said it, you know, I've said it a number of times now. People should be tested. I mean, we all should have an incentive to go test ourselves for antibodies. Anybody's will be high, either if we had COVID already or if we got the vaccine. If the, if the, if the antibodies are high, you don't need a vaccine. You're likely out of, you're getting sick from COVID. You might get COVID, you're likely to get sick from COVID is very low. So if you're, anybody's a low, ooh, I think the noise has gone away. If anybody's a low, then you probably, if you want to be protective of COVID, you probably need to be vaccinated or, you know, take precautions. That's it. I mean, we've got to measure. We've got to measure. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, whims or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist brought.
