tell you, those Caitlyn and the entire Kardashian group, they sure know how to get attention, don't they? They really know how to get attention. So good luck to Caitlyn Jenner running as a Republican. I have no idea what kind of policies are involved there, but this is a fun situation. On the opposite of fun, the very opposite of fun, India has some estimates say up to a half a billion cases of C…
← Previous segment →now we still don't understand China, do we? I still don't understand how China is escaping this. That doesn't make sense, does it? If you saw that China managed to get coronavirus under control and keep it that way, and then you also saw that India did that, which would have seemed impossible in both cases. I mean, China getting it under control just seems impossible, but somehow did. India doing it seemed also impossible, but now we know they didn't. So at least India makes sense, right? Your common sense about the virus is now compatible with the data coming out of India, but it wasn't compatible before. Don't know why.
Somebody says makes total sense. Well, even if you factor in that India has less obesity, a young population, lots of vitamin D, even if you factor all that in, it shouldn't have been enough. And now we know it wasn't enough to keep them safe. So you got that going.
Are all of you having the same Trump withdrawal problem that I am? That every day I wake up and the news is just not that interesting anymore. Have you noticed that? In fact, most of the news is just propaganda now. Maybe it always was.
Lockdowns are starving India. Okay, so I guess Biden's coming out with a new mask guidance today. Yesterday I was driving around and I was observing the people where I live to see how many people who are walking outdoors completely alone wore masks. What do you think was the percentage in my neighborhood? People walking completely alone. And when I say alone, I don't just mean there's nobody walking with them. I mean there's nobody else on the sidewalk. You know, where I live you could walk for a great distance without encountering another person on the sidewalk. About half. Yeah, about half of the people completely alone, like isolated in the middle of nothing outdoors, about half of them were wearing full masks. People were exercising, running in masks, biking in masks. Yeah, you can almost see people's IQ at this point by mask wearing outdoors.
Now, I will make an exception. I saw some elderly people who were masked outdoors. I'll give them that. I don't think it makes any difference, but if you were elderly and you hadn't had your vaccination and you were just concerned, well, throw on a mask if it makes you feel better. But I don't think it would make any statistical difference.
No more mask talk. Yeah, this was my point. We need Trump to give us more fake controversies so we have other things to talk about besides masks.
One in ten here. Somebody says one out of ten. Yeah, we do live in dumb times. So we'll see what's happening.
You know, Tucker Carlson I guess was encouraging people to get in the faces or be critical of people wearing masks outdoors, especially if a child is masked outdoors. And I wouldn't go that far, but I

do think there's a tipping point coming. Feels like we're almost there. The tipping point being I just don't see the public putting up with it. Now in my town people are back to playing basketball in the public park without masks. But I don't know if it's just not being enforced or if it's legal now. I don't know the difference. But I see people playing in the park without masks every day now. So…
