the Joe Rogan experience gentlemen anyway yes sir Texas always great to be
here with you yeah and another another mover you're a mover here as well yep
spent last month with his parents looking for a house and I think we've
found a nice house to move into in spring Texas what pushed you over the
edge all the bullshit going on in California the laws the restrictions the
taxes 13.3% the governor the mayor the congressman the senators is that enough
yes okay good I second all that as a doctor right when you look at the
lockdowns like this is this is where it gets really controversial right because
people are saying that the whole reason for doing this is to protect people
because the emergency rooms are overcrowded and you don't think that's a
suitable no
I think restrictions of our rights is a key issue there I you know in looking
contrasting what has been going on in Texas outside of Austin but in Houston
and
other places they're reasonable Abbott has been very reasonable about certain
factors that I love we're a law abiding state okay we believe in individual
rights California is the opposite yeah how can you live pleasantly regardless
of what
what occupation you're in how can you live there understanding that every
movement
that you're doing is under surveillance cops are coming to your house during
Thanksgiving or is that happening though I didn't I know I know they something
happened in Canada it was a really disturbing thing did you see about they came
in like full fucking Gestapo mode and just a family yeah they had five people
in the
house or something like that and people ratted them out like it's just as soon
as
you make something a law and then you send cops out to enforce that and the
cops
think they're justified and you get a few dumb cops and then they do something
like
this it just lets everybody know like oh this is why it's dangerous to have too
many restrictions because then you have people that have to enforce those
restrictions right and they're not doing their job I mean the sheriff and the
head
the sheriff and the head of police in in California or in Los Angeles came out
and
said they wouldn't upheld uphold the restrictions that Newsom was putting in
I think in San Francisco also because it won't take them away from Orange
County it
would take them away from their ability to do the real work protecting the
citizens not arresting them yeah it's you know what happened in Staten
Island is just mind-boggling with that restaurateur was arrested and given a $10,000
a day fine for having his restaurant open he was social distancing he had the
shields and protection everyone was wearing a mask but because they had locked
down Staten Island so tightly you know they're devastating all the businesses
there but he went up against it it just seems to me that the amount of money
that it would have cost to open up new ICU rooms and and figure out a way to
staff
them would have been far less than the amount of money that it's costing all
these people to lose their businesses all these people to stop working right it
just seems rational that like the amount of money you could have figured out a
way
to tax people like say hey we're gonna let everybody open up but we need a
temporary tax on sales of whatever that'll just go to help this and people
probably would have said okay well it'll just keep and give people the
opportunity like you have your options you have your rights you can choose to
go to work choose to go to these restaurants choose to go to these bars and
we'll figure out some way to open up New York City doing something like that I
I don't know where I think I think they were doing something in restaurants
they
were adding a small amount of additional tax to compensate for the covid
uh even they did they shut down indoor dining yeah at least they have outdoor
dining which is hilarious New York has it and it's freezing and snowing LA
doesn't
have it and then the woman who votes it's one woman who decides to shut
everything down goes to dinner outside the day she does it and lied and said
the
reason why she was doing is because her favorite restaurant and she wanted to
say
she was sorry to the staff and apologize for what they had to do didn't talk to
anybody there full-on lie the people who work there going she didn't talk to us
yeah this is not rules don't don't rules don't count for them yeah it's just I
get
that people want to stay safe but as a doctor does this make sense to you like
what no not you know on my list I have a couple of the um uh the articles it
doesn't make sense when you look at California in the repetitive manner in
which they put a lockdown we should see if it's effective the numbers of cases
dropping but they're not they're going up so what does it tell us it tells us
that
the masks aren't working the six feet of separation is not working there's some
other element that's out there that's creating you know negating all the
protective modalities that they're doing so why lock down you know the state
allow people to have their their employment but aren't aren't check me if I'm
wrong
but is haven't cases gone down over the last two weeks since everything's been
since everything's been completely locked up no they've been one day they went
up I
know and I saw that yesterday spike newsom said there's going to be a surge on
top
of a surge they're waiting for it and they're talking about you know I don't
know because he's a doctor he's the grand poobah that's it are they using the
pcr test to uh to validate that that question they're using the pcr test and
they're using the rapid one but you know they're not as they're not accurate
they're not accurate
they're just something we have now to utilize and then put a lot of credibility
on it
um the difference between the different pcr testing is that
so there's a spike around Christmas time which is supposedly due to what is the
idea that it's due
to gatherings is it so it's because they were trying to say that is related to
uh Thanksgiving
so between October November end of November but if you look at it it seems like
two weeks after the
end of November that would make sense right that would be right around show me
you like yeah well
that's that's longer than two weeks right because it seems like it kicked in
the spikes kicked in right
around uh well what is the big first big spike right there what is that the 16
well that's kind
of two weeks that's two weeks ish I would want to know what cycles are testing
on if there's any
changes of the pcr test I believe this is hospitalization so right or is this
new cases this new cases
yeah it's uh look it's not good but you know um someone pointed out the CDC
website is finally uh got
information on it about vitamin D and and some other things right they just put
it on there just in
December we're just like Jesus guys nine months into a fucking pandemic and you
just started putting
