And it's so good they're still going to do it. That's how good it is. That's pretty bad. So let me ask you this question. Do you think that China is behind the adding of the tranq to the fentanyl to make it far more deadly? Most of you do. I'm not so sure. I think it might be at least as much the addicts themselves want it. So there's definitely a demand for it, but it's also being snuck in the f…

em. Meaning they might get what they wanted with abortion, but it would make them unelectable from that point on. And I think they took that choice. So at least they're playing by the rules. Let me put it this way: at least the Republicans are acting in a principled way. It looks like it. It looks like it's a principled stand. But the net effect will be to take them out of power. So I'm not sure that's exactly what they wanted.

Yeah, but on one hand it looks like Trump would win against whoever he runs against. On the other hand, I don't know if anybody could win as long as this is still an issue, because Democrats are definitely going to vote if this is an issue. Now, I realize it's a court issue, but the public isn't going to care because it could be a congressional issue as well.

The UN Secretary General is calling for the wealthy nations to get more aggressive at reducing their emissions. More aggressive, apparently not aggressive enough, and wants to get to net zero emissions not by 2050 but 10 years earlier, by 2040.

Now, I have the same problem with all the news. It seems to me that the temperature has not gone up in years, which has to mean something, right? The last seven years or something, the temperature hasn't gone up. Now, I get that it's not supposed to go up in lockstep because there are other variables involved, but it's really weird that at the same time we have lots of evidence that the CO2 is not changing the temperature. Not confirmed. It's just that there's this period where it's not, at the same time that we're getting more aggressive.

I'm saying the same thing with the story about myocarditis. Do you remember when rogue Dr. Peter McCullough was claiming that vaccinations were more dangerous than helpful, and he had some data that seemed to indicate that? And then time goes by, and then there's even more alarming data, and then time goes by and even more alarming data. Well, we've gotten to the point where we have two completely different worlds. In one world, the myocarditis is through the roof and people are dropping like flies, and it's obvious and it's everywhere. And in the other world, nothing like that is happening. I don't know how to explain that nothing like that's happening.

So I did a little tweet to ask doctors. Let's see what the answers are. I asked doctors, are you seeing more myocarditis? Because if Peter McCullough's numbers are correct, everybody would see it and it would be massive. It would be every medical facility would be bombarded with it if he's right, because the numbers are just huge. If he's wrong, then other doctors would just be doing their practice and not even noticing that there was any more of it.

So I just tweeted that before I got on. Let's see. What do you think it's going to be? Do you think the real doctors who answer this are going to say... All right, we've got a lot of answers. Here's a doctor: big increase in deaths. No, but there does seem to be some bump. Okay, about somebody just putting a comic about me, of course. All right, I'm not seeing people saying yes or no. This is interesting. Three times more. The doctors are not weighing in. This is weird. I thought more doctors would answer.

I'm just looking to see if there's anything that jumps out. Doctors in California can't answer that question. What? Cardiac something. Uptick in patient complaints starting last fall, but symptoms vary. Some more complaints, but he can't tell if it's from vaccination or the COVID itself. Done a lot of reports there for some reason. It would be better to ask the insurance companies, would it? I don't know, because myocarditis doesn't necessarily turn into a death.

Somebody who sees three to four thousand patients per year, primary care: I have not seen any increase in myocarditis or sudden death. So here's the thing. The people who are seeing the huge increase tend to be not from their own practice. They tend to be seeing the increase in data, but the data seems all sketchy. So I don't know what to believe, but I don't believe the Peter McCullough numbers. Because Peter McCullough also believes the athletes dropping dead numbers, and that's been totally debunked, but he still uses it. So we know he's using totally debunked numbers about athletes' deaths. So I wouldn't believe anything he said on this topic either. Even if he's right, it's possible. It's entirely possible he's right, but the data sources he uses are somewhat obviously false.

All right. So Zuby — you all know Zuby on the internet — he's asking why would a successful man get married? He's asking what's the point of it? Why would a successful man get married? And it's just fascinating seeing the answers, because there is a big kind of a trend here toward people not getting married. And part of it is that men are saying it's not worth it, because they put all their money into a situation and the woman just divorces them anyway, takes the kids, takes half his money, and he's finished. So a lot of men are saying it just isn't worth it. And women seem to have not noticed that their value in terms of marriage has gone way down.

Now, would you agree with t

hat? That the value of women as wives has gone way down, because they don't offer the same value proposition. You know, it's not like they're saying I will take care of you and be with you forever and raise your kids and always be loyal. None of that's even offered. It's more like, hey, look at this. Why wouldn't you want this? I'm female. I'm a queen. Why wouldn't you want some of this? And the g…
