ow is it cognitive dissonance if I allow that both possibilities are entirely possible? Cognitive dissonance is almost always when you've made up your mind. I'm telling you explicitly both possibilities are alive. Can you hear that or not? Edith Eve is yelling cognitive dissonance. Edith you're in cognitive dissonance. You're experiencing it. You're totally you're totally having a hallucination because I'm the one saying either one is possible and the data allows both interpretations. You're saying I'm having cognitive dissonance. That's cognitive dissonance. You are experiencing it because you have some certainty about something that couldn't be certain. No you are. No you are. You projected person. Laughs. People think they could read my body language and determine that I'm being disingenuous. Okay all right.

Here's the problem I keep having. When I bring up the same point everybody goes quiet. What's wrong with you today? Why does everybody go quiet when I bring up that point every time? Some people are just triggered into cognitive dissonance but the rest of you are just sort of commenting you know indirectly in general. I don't see people saying Scott I agree with your interpretation. Do you agree with my interpretation or no? That my interpretation is well my interpretation is that there are two interpretations and they're both alive at the moment. Okay so I think that needs to be at least part of every conversation on this or it doesn't feel real.

All right that's about all I had in this. I'd like to say again even though that I think I believe Alex Berenson is misinterpreting this data but I like to say that I think he's a valuable asset to the country because I do like the fact that people were pushing really hard against the safety claims of the vaccines. They might be overzealous but you need that. Like society really needed you know these people pushing hard who were credible people. So I appreciate Alex Berenson's service to the country. I don't know if he's got every question right but that's not how I would judge him. I wouldn't judge him by whether he got everything right during a pandemic because nobody did right? So I'm not going to judge anybody for being wrong during a pandemic. I told you in the beginning of the pandemic I wasn't going to do it and I'm trying to be consistent.

All right did I miss anything? Any stories happening that I missed? Are you going to talk about the Democrats being hunted in New Mexico now? Is that the story about the serial killer who there was a serial killer who hunted down some Democrats? I did see something like that. I typically don't talk about crime stories but if that's worth mentioning. So the Republicans are always talking about, I'm always talking about Republicans being hunted but there was a case of somebody who looks like they went out and just tried to kill some Democrats and we of course condemn that at the highest possible level but yeah that that's a fair comment. And see now that's the kind of criticism that I appreciate because that was first of all totally fair that there was something that was counter to my narrative that I didn't mention. Now again the reason is because I don't talk about specific crimes too much. That's sort of my thing. I don't talk about them but in that case I should have. You're right that absolutely should have been mentioned as the counterbalance. So good for you. I like it when you call me on stuff that's you know as clearly wrong as that
