Ben Shapiro Thinks I'm Stupid | Guest: Sydney Watson | Ep 108
When it comes down to the pandemic, only the elitists are allowed to decide what you should do with your business, family, and body. In their bubbles, with millions of dollars and endless fame, they are so incredibly out of touch with the populace and what we really think about the way the government has handled this entire disaster. Even Ben Shapiro called anyone who isn't willing to take the experimental v@ccine front and center a "dope." But why can’t we just think and decide how to approach this virus for ourselves? I’m sick of elitists telling me what to do, and I’m confident most of you are too.
Yeah, you should wear one because there's a global pandemic going on.
Yeah.
Well, you got yours.
I got mine on.
Yeah, I'm trying to be safe.
Okay.
But you could infect somebody else and they could get sick.
Why don't you leave them alone?
Will you please wear one?
Excuse me?
Will you please wear a mask?
No.
Please.
Nope.
For the sake of other people, please wear one.
Please.
I'm begging you.
When it comes to the COVID vaccine dilemma, there's a really big problem that we have on our hands because number one, if you spread medical misinformation like here on YouTube, you get deleted.
In fact, you can't even question the COVID vaccine, its efficacy, its ability to actually treat the virus, or whether or not you should take it.
And so I'm not going to attempt to do that.
But what I can tell you is we can question the people who are pushing the vaccine.
And the reason why we can question them is simply because these very same people, these elitists who have continually gotten pretty much every single solution to the COVID problem wrong, including the shutdowns, talking about how we should social distance, wear masks, so that would prevent a second spread.
How if we basically stopped society as we know it, stopped international travel, we would cure this thing.
But guess what?
They're wrong.
According to their own statistics, we have over 250,000 people dead, though I know those numbers are definitely questionable.
And we have millions of people at the very moment, I guess, just contracting this or infected with this.
So many people, they don't even know they have it.
So we're going to talk about these elitists, including why Ben Shapiro is a part of this group, all that, and a lot more coming up on this episode of slightly offensive.
It's the best worst show on Blaze TV where we have incredible graphics and amazing stories and C-minus humor.
We are here in the studio, specifically Blaze Studio.
I don't even know.
I think we're in Mark Levin's closet.
Yeah.
I keep asking you where we are and you just don't know.
I don't know where we are.
I'm just telling you, I don't know.
This is very scary.
I've never been here before.
I don't know where we are either.
But guys, our guest today is the lovely Sidney Watson from the YouTube channel.
Very creative Sidney Watson.
I am so creative.
It's unreal.
And your accent is a combination of nasal, like you're clogged up paired with Australia, paired with Texas, paired with America.
I didn't even know that you could get allergies in Texas because I didn't realize that there was pollen here.
But there is, apparently.
I've been told now it's trees.
Trees cause this.
So I thought I escaped all that in Australia, but I didn't.
Here I am.
Sorry, do you have COVID?
No.
Okay, I was just scared for a second.
I thought I was going to say that.
Do people realize that things exist outside of COVID?
Like, you know, there are things such as head colds.
You can get allergies.
I mean, congestion can be caused by anything, fam.
It's not just COVID.
Well, if you were listening to Ben Shapiro's advice, which we're going to get into, he would be telling you that you probably just need to get like 20 vaccines probably poked in you right now.
All at the same time as well.
All at the same time.
Before we jump into today's incredible stories, which include kind of exposing Ben Shapiro, you saw Ben Shapiro kind of got pissed at me, or like he became very cocky.
He's known for doing that.
I don't hate him.
I actually like Ben Shapiro a lot, but we're going to talk about his elitism here and the way that it plays into this weird guilt culture, trying to pressure people into getting a vaccine without being able to question it.
And we're going to look at how his behavior resembles the same behavior of Cuomo, of Dr. Fauci, as well as, you know, not to mention Pete Davidson, the famous suicidal depressed individual with bulging eyes from Saturday Night Live.
It's really sad.
My favorite thing about that was how Ben, rather than quote tweeting you and responding to it, just took a screenshot.
Yeah, he just took a screenshot.
Guys, before we jump into that, I want to remind you guys this.
Do you know that if you get shot, if you get wounded, if you get stabbed, even if you get damaged while you're at work, the average response time from EMS from emergency services is 37 minutes, which means that basically your life is in your hands.
You only have about five liters of blood.
You basically cannot survive any type of wound really in the real world while relying on emergency medical staff to take care of you, which is why, just like your own business, your life during COVID, you've got to take your own safety into your own hands.
You don't prepare for if something's going to happen.
It's just you're preparing knowing that things can and probably will happen to you to damage your body, which is why I want to introduce you guys this incredible American-made, all-in-American-made medical kit called Barefack.
It's a first aid kit by Refuge Medical.
Now, guys, this comes with 28 different components, amazing components that includes a tourniquet.
Some of the other things that it comes with is emergency trauma dressing, quick clock gauze, nasal airway, and chest seals, anything that you could use, anything that could happen.
In fact, I actually have a tourniquet right here, which I'm going to, I guess I can't really apply now.
I was going to try to apply this.
I'm going to try to apply this next week.
And under, you have about like, I think 49 seconds if you're shot in like your femoral artery, in your leg or your arm to be able to basically save your life.
And if you don't have one of these on you, you might not be able to save yourself.
Anyway, if you go to refugeemedical.com and use my code offensive, you can get 15% off your entire order.
You have a small medical pack as well as a large medical pack.
Anyway, get what you need.
Protect yourself, protect your family.
Go to refugeemedical.com.
Use my code offensive.
Okay, so let's jump into this.
So obviously, you know, I have a problem with, not with vaccines, but with this vaccine.
Because this, just like, you know, the masks or social distancing or the shutdowns, people are saying you need to take the vaccine because you need to trust science.
Yet at the very same time, they're not providing the science and they're just saying, essentially, trust me, either because I'm a celebrity, because I'm a political commentator, because I'm in the government.
Except my biggest issue is that this entire last seven, eight months, they've gotten everything else wrong, including about shutting down schools, about the need to ban outdoor dining.
That it's like, even though I've been pro-vaccination before this, I'm pretty much now anti-institution, anti-government.
And since they've gotten it wrong in every other category, I'm at the position with this vaccine where it's not that I don't trust vaccines.
I just don't trust what they say about this one.
Right.
I think that what's annoying me so much about this current situation, this current climate, is that people like you and me who have historically supported vaccinations, because there are some serious illnesses out there that vaccinations and inoculations do help fight against.
I mean, and that's the purpose of them.
But when it comes to this situation, what's really, really distressed me is that if you say, I'm not entirely convinced that this vaccine, A, will be as effective as everyone's saying it will, B, that it's actually, that it's not going to have nefarious side effects or nefarious and, you know, unwanted consequences.
And that, you know, you have a general skepticism towards it being pushed through, towards the way that it's been treated, towards the way the government has been talking about it.
And also some of the really, really ugly things surrounding the pharmaceutical industry and the way that that works with government and things.
There's a lot of skeptical, yucky things happening.
I don't like that people like you and me get called anti-vaxxers because of that skepticism.
I've been inoculated against, you know, most, well, all the things that you have to have vaccines against when you're a child.
I've had all my inoculations.
I'm happy about that.
There's only one that I now think was, you know, sort of, I'm sort of skeptical about.
Is it HPV?
Yes.
Yeah, see, I didn't get it.
Yeah, well, I don't think that, do they give that?
Well, yeah, because men, you could be carriers, they say, or something.
I haven't looked into it deeply, but they say you don't need it as a man.
Well, I mean, I had what, I think it was two or three injections of that.
That's the only one that I'm like, mom, I don't know.
Maybe this is a little, this is kind of weird.
But with this, with this new, I've never in my life gotten a flu vaccine and I don't think I ever will.
And I'm probably not going to get the coronavirus vaccine if I have an option not to.
But I think the thing is, I don't want to be called an anti-vaxxer because I have a natural skepticism towards something that's been pushed and that's been basically forced upon us for a virus that has such an incredibly high survival rate.
Why are you not pushing the flu vaccine on me every year if that's so survivable as well?
It doesn't make sense.
Yeah, it does.
I don't like being called an anti-vaxxer because that's not what it is.
Well, yeah, exactly.
And you're not.
But this is why I want to bring this up.
So there's this tweet, right?
This is what I love about the pettiness of people.
Now, this is where I say Ben Shapiro is overall good.
Right.
Okay.
I like the Daily Wire.
I like Michael Knowles a lot.
I think Michael Knowles is great.
Andrew Clavin's very wise.
One thing I don't like, my biggest criticism of Ben Shapiro is that while he gets a lot right with policy, he gets a lot right when it comes to, you know, the government and systems and world policy, even Middle Eastern policy, I guess some people might say, or they might question it.
When it comes to the culture, I mean, you're talking about like a Jewish guy that went to Harvard.
He comes from elitist Ivy League schools.
He's a multi-millionaire, lives in like a gated compound, walks around with security.
I mean, nobody could basically be more out of touch with the average American and what the base, the conservative, the right-wing base wants than this guy, which is why when it comes to culture, I mean, he basically misses the mark all the time, because not because he's dumb, but because he likes to mock people as if they're all stupid and he's the smartest person in the room.
Now, Ben is incredibly smart, but I made a tweet, and this is where, like, and he didn't even, I don't think he even put the whole image.
I just said, your immune system has a higher success rate at combating COVID than the actual vaccine, 99 versus 95%.
And, you know, I said, think about it.
Now, Ben screenshots my tweet because he thinks that I'm going to delete it.
And he has his goons come on me to like be like, I can't believe you're not deleting your tweet.
I'm not deleting this tweet because it was meant for you to think about the need for the vaccine if you have this percentage of a rate to fight.
If you have a natural immunity to this at a high rate, why would you need to take this in general?
Why?
I mean, not only can we get in the arguments of taking this away from people.
So he brings this and he's like, the vaccine is 95% effective.
It's preventing you from getting the virus.
And also mitigates the severity of the disease.
99% of those who actually get COVID-19 will survive.
In other words, get the vaccine, you dopes, which is pretty much the best Ben Shapiro description I think very good.
I'm not upset about that.
Yeah.
And he's like, get the vaccine, go to vaccine.com/slash B-E-N-Ben, vaccine.com, get 10% off your Pfizer vaccine.
Now, so I wrote him, you know, and he gets, you know, a lot of these people supporting him.
Now, what I noticed is the people supporting him and coming against what I said were all verified liberal people.
And this is what Ben does: a thing like the vaccine.
He comes and he says, Look, everybody needs to just get the vaccine.
Okay, get it.
If you don't, you're dumb.
You're a dope.
You're an idiot.
This is the kind of rhetoric that we get from people who are supposed to be the smartest people in the country, basically saying, Listen to me, do what I say.
And if you don't do it, and this is where I think he mirrors a lot of Cuomo in these people.
It's like, even though I'm right-wing, so what if he's right-wing, right?
There's been a lot of terrible right-wing people throughout history.
I don't think he's terrible.
I'm just saying, listen to me here because I'm smart.
And if you don't listen to me, you're a dope and you're stupid, just like this guy.
And I think like that, to me, that's the exact rhetoric that makes me actually start to doubt this vaccine.
I thought, Ben, you can make an argument for everything except for this vaccine.
Well, I think the thing that bothered me so much about the way that he treated this situation, and look, I'm not a doctor, I'm not an expert at anything.
His wife is.
Well, yeah, there you go.
That's why he's an authority on the matter.
The thing that annoyed me was the thing that he didn't quote tweet you because I'm like, well, if you want someone to have an actual, you know, if you want to have a discussion about something, let them respond, give them the right to respond.
And then the other thing that annoyed me was, look, I don't know about the numbers because, like I said, I'm not a doctor.
I'm not an expert.
I mean, you obviously know considerably more about this than I do because you actually have a background in, you know, the medical sort of field somewhat.
Whereas I am coming into this very green.
So I don't comment because I go, I don't want to look like an idiot.
I don't want to say anything out of school.
What bothers me about what he did was that, you know, get the vaccine dopes.
It's like, Ben, allow people to actually have a difference of opinion here because, again, there is, there's a lot of things happening that are not kosher that are, you know, that people are, people are skeptical of.
And rather than actually addressing them and, you know, facilitating a conversation surrounding those concerns, you know, get the vaccine dopes.
Oh, come on.
Yeah.
And that's why I wrote back to him, you know, and everyone loves a little Twitter drama.
Everyone loves it.
Not real life, but it is.
I said, I'm not against vaccines, Ben, but I'm also not taking my medical advice about an experimental vaccine from a lawyer, first of all, who's been promoting it since March 14th before it had even been tested or like formally developed.
Right?
I say developed, it was in development stages, but it hadn't been tested and proven.
I'm going to wait for more test studies and decide for my own family what's the best course.
And this is where we get into this interesting thing.
I bring up the fact that the reason why elitists are, there's a problem with the way that they've approached this is they kind of have this reductionist approach to the way that we treat COVID and the way that we respond to this from their own perspective.
It's like someone like Ben Shapiro, not only does his life not change in a pandemic, but his life probably gets better.
He probably makes more money, sells more products.
People are scared.
My life got better under COVID.
I don't know if yours did.
I mean, well, I mean, I think I got better.
I spent more time with my wife.
She's over there.
We became neighbors.
Yeah.
I mean, I haven't seen my family in a year, which is really distressing for me.
And I don't know when I'm going to see them again.
That's like your family.
I really like my family.
That could be a positive for some people.
When I look up the flights back to Australia at the moment, because I can actually travel now, I don't really want to fork out seven grand.
The last time I looked, it was seven grand to get there.
If anyone wants to sponsor me and give me seven grand to go to Australia.
Yeah, I saw it was like $7,500 to get there.
Mental.
Absolutely mental.
I mean, this is.
Look, COVID for me has not been a fun year.
This has not been a fun year.
I have not enjoyed this whatsoever.
And I don't like the fact now that, you know, if people are hearing how congested I sound, they're going to be like, she's got COVID.
I don't.
I mean, I'm just so sick of hearing about this.
This is the thing.
Don't talk to Dan Andrews.
I know the Premier of Victoria.
Oh, God, that guy.
Yeah, he won't even let people leave more than five kilometers of their house.
They've actually lifted a lot of those restrictions now, which is great for Victorians.
But it's funny because Australia has really done, you know, a decent-ish job at combating this in the sense that I don't think that the cases now, I don't even think there's a negligible amount of cases, basically.
People aren't dying, yada, yada, yada.
I'm going to say it's always been negligible in Australia.
Oh, it has.
It was, I mean, but it was like that from the outside in Victoria.
And that's what frustrated me so greatly about it.
Was you have, so Dan Andrews, for people who don't know, is the Premier of Victoria.
So basically, he runs the government, so to speak.
And the guy, look, the guy has some really shady background information, you know, where he's done some shady stuff.
He has a really strong relationship with the Chinese Communist Party.
There's some really, really bad stuff that's going on with this guy.
And I think what's made me so mad is the cases in Victoria were never significant.
And this man basically locked everyone down to the point where, you know, like you were saying, people couldn't go within, you know, five kilometers of their house unless they were going grocery shopping.
There was a point where people couldn't go outside to even exercise and things like that.
And there are checkpoints in Victoria that my brother was sending me pictures of, you know, these checkpoints and how you have to have specific pieces of paper, you know, like things that are signed from your business saying, hey, yes, this person can be traveling.
What is that?
Like, what society is that these people are living in that poor Australians are living in for a virus that has what a 99.97 survival rate or whatever it is?
It's just absurd.
And negligible in any cases.
But that's what you have to ask yourself.
And I was kind of wondering, why would Ben Shapiro write this kind of thing, encouraging people to just take a vaccine without providing like evidence behind it?
And you realize that even the elitists are susceptible to their own bias.
I found this article from the Northwest, and it's this op-ed from about Ben Shapiro urging people.
It says, Ben Shapiro begs people to vaccinate kids after a daughter gets whooping cough.
So apparently one of his kids almost died from not getting a certain vaccination.
Now, the reason why I'm very pro-vaccination is I have the similar problem.
I got whooping cough and scarlet fever around the same time when I was a kid.
I didn't get all my vaccinations.
I almost died as well.
I was on ventilators.
I have damaged lungs, which is why when I got COVID, I was coughing up blood.
I was coughing for multiple months.
Yeah.
It was really, really bad.
When I, that's why, even now, I get sick multiple times a year.
I have a problem with my immune system because I didn't get a vaccination.
Right.
On the other hand, I still remain skeptical because I know my wife is very skeptical of vaccinations because she has the opposite effect where one of her family members got a vaccine and it caused health complications, not autism, but it actually had some adverse side effects.
So, on one hand, I realize why some people don't want to get all the vaccines, but as a personal experience, Ben, I know that it's important for your kids, probably my kids and many, to get certain vaccines.
That's why I'm not arguing against them, but I'm also not an elitist.
And just because I think that vaccines are good, I'm encouraging people to think for themselves and to question, which is why, look, there was this claim, right, that was said, this is what happens.
And I want to bring this up here.
The reason why I'm susceptible, I mean, I'm very skeptical of this is because of this article that specifically says that drug makers, this is from technically, I think this is NBC affiliates, drug makers cannot be sued for the COVID-19 vaccine complications due to amended legislation.
Yeah, yeah.
And so it says, if you do choose to get the vaccine and something goes wrong, you won't be able to sue the manufacturers.
But experts say that you might still be able to receive compensation through a special fund.
I'm assuming government fund.
Drug makers are working to produce a COVID vaccine faster than ever before.
The rapid creation process is allowed through Operation Warp Speed, which was initiated by the Trump administration to facilitate and accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.
Meaning, there was legislation put in place to accelerate this.
Now, on the back end, in the science, that might mean that some procedures were either tossed out or overlooked.
But this also means that some of the testing, where we might have needed more tests and more timing, are now being brought back because the weight of that timing is considered to be greater than the adverse side effects.
However, if there are side effects, you, as the consumer, as the patient, you no longer have any human rights to get any compensation if you're out of work or anything happens from the companies for anything that happens to you.
That makes me wonder: what can it do to you that they're already expecting people to sue?
Right.
I think, with my very limited understanding of how a lot of this stuff works, I know that the testing period for not just vaccines, but really any drug, it's years and where they fail at one point, it's basically like starting back at square one and having to make adjustments and changes and things.
What concerns me so deeply about this, especially if they want to have it, basically if they want to be, if they want it to be a widespread thing that so many people are getting, my concern is that how much, how much of this testing is actually legitimate testing?
It's like you said, where are you reeling back to make sure that you can actually meet these deadlines and things?
What corners are you cutting in order to meet these deadlines?
This is what concerns me.
It's like, I guess we've already established here that both you and I are pretty okay with most vaccines.
But when you do have side effects, and look, there have been drugs since the beginning of time when people are actually getting inoculations and things that do have negative side effects, besides the days where people would deliberately infect themselves with things like smallpox and then go and sit in like a you know a room for a week until it passed hoping that they didn't die.
I mean, we've come so far since those days, obviously.
But I mean, I remember when I was at university, we studied one particular drug.
I can't, the name escapes me at the moment, but you know, it was pushed on women in particular.
And people actually ended up having children that had severe deformities because this drug company was basically like, no, take this, it's fine.
Not having actually done proper research and testing.
And then eventually all these people ended up suing the absolute crap out of them because they ended up with all these deformities and things that the company basically just overlooked and hid.
And that's my concern with what's happening today.
Is again, you know, I'm glad to be inoculated against a bunch of things.
I'm, I'm, you know, I don't want to get tetanus.
I don't want to get things like this.
But when we are pushing these things through and rushing it, what corners are you cutting?
What side effects could potentially come out of this because of a cut corner?
That's my question.
That's what I want to do.
And we're going to talk about the side effects, but before we jump into that, I want to also just bring up the fact, I know you're getting a car soon because you want to get mobile, you want to move, right?
Yeah.
What kind of car are you looking to buy?
Probably a Hyundai.
A Hyundai?
Like an Elantra, I think.
Elantra.
I can try to be in English.
Okay, so obviously, you know, we have to get car insurance here in America, right?
I know long-term, we're also looking to buying a home.
We're looking to get home insurance.
You know, we have to get auto insurance.
And I want to tell you about something very important.
I actually made a very big mistake.
When I was buying my Honda, I just went and kept my same insurance company that I always used, right?
And I just did what I did.
I called it transfer the car.
Well, then I found out about this company and it's called Gabby.
And if you go to gabby.com/slash offensive, use my code.
Basically, what it does is just a couple minutes, you are able to figure out the comparison for home and auto insurance of every single rate.
Now, a lot of companies, you see like progressive, all this stuff.
It's like, which company do you use?
Which one do you buy?
I thought I had the best rate.
But just like most people who use their website in just about two minutes, you find out if not only if you have the best rate, so it's not a waste of your time because you find out, hey, I'm actually have the best company, but the likelihood is that you don't.
And the average person who goes to their website finds out that they could be saving $961 a year, an extra thousand bucks.
What would you do with $1,000?
Probably buy myself a really nice pair of shoes.
Oh, like some Gucci?
What is it?
Like Gucci shoes?
Like some heels?
Some stilettos?
Maybe, maybe several pairs of very nice shoes.
Yeah, anyway.
Well, I found out I could have been saving $961.
So if you go to gabby.com/slash offensive right now, you can find out how to save up to $1,000 per year on your home and auto insurance.
I found out that I was losing out, like, I think it's between like $600 to $800.
It fluctuates per year.
I'm stuck in some stupid contract.
The moment that I can go back on there, I will.
So I encourage everyone today, guys, if you are looking to upgrade your car insurance, your home insurance, you want to save money.
This is COVID.
There's a time that you want to guarantee that every dollar is spent well.
I want you guys to save money.
I want you to be prosperous and I want you to have the best coverage possible.
So right now, get your cell phone, your computer, get a tab open.
Go to gabby.com.
That's G-A-B-I.com slash offensive and find out how to save money on your home and auto insurance today.
But let's talk about these ramifications, right?
One of the things that bothers me the most is the fact that as we push this, this widespread use of the vaccine, what scares me the most is as we have pushed another medical procedure, let's look at two, right?
The widespread use of opiates and the widespread use of antibiotics.
So we're finding out criminal cases today that antibiotics, not antibiotics, opiates, have not only been manipulated into the market by the drug makers that are being criminally charged, that have artificially fueled this massive epidemic that's killing people by the tens of thousands, right?
By these overdoses, not even just the deaths, the marriages ruined, the families destroyed, the jobs lost, the economy destroyed, but from people, you know, having problems at work from these opiates.
Now, these drug makers, everyone told us they were safe, they were good.
You hurt your back, opiate.
You sprain your finger, opiate, and they were just pushed on us.
And now we're looking back going, oh, crap.
Maybe we shouldn't have done that.
Maybe we shouldn't have just pushed something on the people to have an instant change and helped them.
Also with antibiotics, we're going, well, bacteria is bad and we think it's bad.
And of course, we don't want bacterial infections.
But now for every single cough or cold or allergy, you get prescribed a ZPAC, a zithromycin, some sort of combination cocktail of drugs.
And now we have all these superbugs that have developed where hospitals have become almost more deadly than your home or like even outdoors because while you go there for help, because so many people are getting treated with antibiotics, you have all these bacterial superbugs that we don't even know how to fight that are all over the hospitals.
Meaning in our attempt to help people by not thinking through things and by forcing something on the population, we've created bigger problems.
And that's where scientifically I'm saying, look at what happened when we mass pushed out ballots without thinking through things.
When we mass push something on people without thinking through all of the ramifications, sometimes we create bigger problems than we're actually solving.
I think the over-prescription problem in America is insane.
I mean, it's interesting when you listen to doctors' accounts of how they're basically, you know, they get kickbacks from particular pharmaceutical companies and things like that.
I mean, I know that I made a video about the sort of the puberty blockers being prescribed to children and things like that.
And how, you know, some of these companies that actually, I guess, were, you know, sort of the pioneers in making these puberty blockers are in fact getting kickbacks or have historically gotten kickbacks from for, well, not forcing, but asking doctors to, you know, or sorry, giving doctors kickbacks from, I can't even think today.
I'm so over.
Too much pseudophedrin, huh?
Oh my God.
Yeah, I took a handful of them.
Method is a hell of a drug.
Yeah, it really is.
That's what they make meth out of.
Pseudo.
Yeah, it's bad.
Anyway, excuse me for not being able to string words into sentences.
No, but so doctors get kickbacks from these companies for pushing these drugs that, you know, have either not been tested for the purpose that they're giving to these children in this particular case of puberty blockers.
And it freaks me out, honestly.
It really freaks me out because I think, well, how legitimate is the need for these particular things in these particular cases?
Or is it just that a doctor's going to get a nice kickback from the company?
I mean, and that's where it's so funny because Australia's medical system, while not perfect, certainly doesn't have the issues that America's medical system does.
And when you talk about things like opiates and things like that, the fact that that's a automatic response, you know, excuse me.
The fact that that's an automatic response, let's get people onto, you know, Oxy or whatever the case may be.
That's, that should not be the automatic reaction.
I mean, these things should be, I do actually think these are sort of things that should be hyper-regulated because they do have such nefarious consequences.
My grandma, a few years ago, had surgery and she was prescribed.
I can't quote which drug it was, but it was in that sort of family of oxy and what have you.
And she basically said, I have to stop taking these because I'm finding myself wanting to take more of them after, you know, the period of time that she was on them.
And I think that is, I mean, it's just so crazy to me how interwoven the negative reactions are with, you know, how the medical system operates.
It's just, it's so messed up.
Right, but I want to make sure to clarify this.
I'm not encouraging anyone to not take the vaccine, meaning I think that with everything, you got to weigh the risks.
I think that if you are living in solitude, if you are living in, you know, an old person's home, you can't see your family.
For instance, like my mom just died this year, you know, and they didn't want me visiting her because of COVID.
Now, if I had to take the COVID vaccine to see my mom, I'll take the risk because I'm not going to miss out the last few months of my mom's life.
But I've also, you know, this is a funny thing, right?
Some people say, I love Snopes.
This is why I don't trust people, though, because like Snopes goes, one sign, the ex-head of Pfizer says that this, you know, vaccine can cause infertility in women.
Fact check, false.
It doesn't cause infertility in women.
It just blocks a protein that can, that can prevent the formation of the placenta, which then can cause like an abortive pregnancy.
And I'm going, wait a second.
Oh, yeah.
Meaning, yeah, this vaccine isn't a condom and it doesn't like block the seminal fluid from like inserting itself into women that prevent pregnancy.
It's not a contraceptive, but like you're saying, oh, but there is some side effects that can cause infertility in women.
I'm not saying that.
That's what I'm going by.
Snopes said that, not me.
That's really important where I'm going, these people are twisting the facts.
And this is why I'm saying why I don't trust people, just like the opiate or the antibiotic.
If the risk is higher to not take it and your whole life is ruined right now and you need to take it to get to some normalcy, then you be your judge.
I don't care about the risk factor.
Take it on yourself.
I might even encourage people who are very old to take it because why spend the last few years of your life in isolation, not being able to do anything?
If you die this way, it's better than dying alone with no one around you.
Okay.
I guess my question is, if people wouldn't get the flu vaccine, which we know, you know, I don't actually, I don't know if they, how, how it's formulated.
I don't know whether or not it's the same one every year, although I have some vague understanding that it's not.
That's, that's always been my understanding because I, the flu changes, doesn't it?
Yeah, the flu vaccine changes every year.
They have a certain cost, it's a cocktail usually of like different types of approaches to combating certain antigens and mutations.
That's always been my understanding that it, that it's a that's why sometimes it doesn't work.
That's why sometimes everyone gets the flu and we have bad flu years because sometimes the vaccine just isn't what is actually spreading through society.
So, okay, good.
I appreciate you clarifying that because that's always been my understanding is that you have a vaccine that's changing every year to, you know, in line with a flu, I guess, that's changing every year.
And the common cold I know has similar and can be inoculated against the common cold.
But you know what I mean?
Which is a coronavirus in many cases.
There you go.
Yeah.
You can't really get inoculated against common cold because it mutates so frequently and there's so many different viruses that it's just not impossible.
It's just like not even worth the investment.
It's difficult.
Yeah.
It's very difficult.
So when people are like, get the COVID vaccine, I think, if this is going to work, if the virus itself is going to operate in the same way as the flu and as the common cold, then realistically, why on earth, if you wouldn't ordinarily get the flu vaccine, why would you get the COVID vaccine?
And a friend of mine who actually works in this field, he said, Sydney, it's because this is a new virus.
And I'm thinking, yes, be that as it may, but once it gets into the population and then it becomes a, you know, a same sort of flu, so to speak, that we get every single year, then wouldn't the purpose of the vaccine sort of be moot?
I mean, I don't know.
Like I said, I'm not a doctor.
My comprehension of this is.
I'm saying that perhaps when there's this resistance, it might not just go away.
It might mutate and we might get a super version of this.
We already have, I think, three different strains of COVID-19.
That's what I'm saying, though.
Which is technically what, COVID-21?
I don't know what they're calling it now.
But that's what I'm saying, though.
If it's something that really performs in the same way as the flu, which obviously changes, and I say changes, obviously, if you know people are going to be able to do it.
COVID's not going away.
Yeah, that's with us to stay.
People said that from the outset.
They said this is going to be something that we get every single year at wintertime.
And I mean, I don't, again, you probably know more about this than I do, but I believe it has a less, it's actually even less deadly than the flu itself because we don't even know any of that because the numbers surrounding this have been in place.
Yeah, because we don't know.
Because if you've got comorbidities and people dying with pneumonia, people dying with also the flu, people dying with the cold, these people are dying with so many different antigens that are being detected in their bodies that when it comes down to it, it's very hard for the CDC to discriminate against who directly died from COVID directly as an initial cause.
And when you look at the root cause, it's not in the hundreds of thousands.
It's much below that, according to the CDC.
But also the reason why I want to point this out, why don't trust people, is like the same people telling us, you know, this is the way to combat this are people like in New York and Los Angeles, which, you know, nobody's pushing the vaccine more than Gavin Newsom and Cuomo in New York.
Now, these states and their responses in their major cities, like in Los Angeles with Eric Garcetti and with Bill de Blasio in New York City, the problem is, is that their previous solutions to COVID were images like this, which I guess you really can't see, but is, you know, they said, well, we have to eat outdoors.
And then now we've started making outdoor dining basically indoor dining outdoors, which is really what indoor dining has always been, just outdoor dining, but with walls.
Like, that's all it is, right?
indoors is literally the solution there's little yeah like we were like oh it gets cold and we want to eat together What do we do?
Oh, we like put up walls and a ceiling, which is what indoor dining is turning into.
I mean, outdoor dining as we go into winter.
But on top of that, it's like, check this out.
Like, you know, Eric Garcetti, right?
They say that we need to get the vaccine.
Everyone said the massive stay-at-home order.
They're getting warnings on their phones that they need to, you know, not even walk in some cases.
At the same time, right?
At the same time, they've criminalized eating spaghetti on the sidewalk.
Shut up.
They did not.
Well, yeah, you can't, outdoor dining was banned.
Like, you mean you can't like eat spaghetti on the sidewalk, right?
This is illegal.
No meatballs for you, you know, Mario.
LA County Doug, this is a tweet from Bill Melligan.
Do you know who he is?
No, who's that?
Very awesome Fox News reporter, Rising Star.
He says that new LA County District Attorney George Gaskin has issued a directive to prosecutors that the following misdemeanors will be declined for prosecution now with exemptions.
Trespassing, disturbing the peace, driving without a license, prostitution, resisting arrest, criminal threats, drug possession, minors drinking alcohol, being drunk in public, under the influence of a controlled substance, public intoxicating and loitering.
Meaning, you can be a minor getting drunk.
Maybe you can't drive, and your friend can pick you up without a license.
And then you can go take drugs and stand in front of a business and loiter and then also give a blowjob for 40 bucks.
And that is more legal than like literally a cup of spaghetti on the sidewalk.
Like that, meaning that's these are the people telling me I have to get a vaccine.
Like, I should get a vaccine.
That's priorities.
So you're telling me I should prioritize a vaccine.
And you're saying that these things are less criminal than like, you know, I don't know, eating, eating.
Guess what I'm saying?
Like, I give a blowjob on the sidewalk, but I can't eat my food.
No, no spaghetti for you.
Just said it.
That's a different kind of sauce.
Is a cup of spaghetti?
Is that a bad thing?
That's a different kind of sauce, Sidney.
You know what?
You guys, you're married to me.
That's different meatballs.
You kill me.
That's a different sauce.
You know, it's true.
This whole thing, I mean, people obviously know how I've gotten progressively angrier in the last few months.
I started off very much like, you know what?
I'm willing to listen.
I'm willing to be part of this.
You know, I don't want people to get sick and die.
I don't want that.
That's not, you know, that's not my modus operandi to, you know, if I, if I wanted that, I probably, you know, maybe would have joined the military or something like that.
Maybe that's, that's the one-way trip to get to see people die.
But I don't want that.
So from, you know, from the start of this, I was like, yeah, cool.
And now I'm like, no, I'm in open rebellion.
I, this is just, it's garbage because I don't trust, you don't trust people.
I don't trust any of our politicians.
I think that they are all garbage people.
I don't understand the rationale behind most of their decisions.
I don't even think they understand the rationale behind most of their decisions.
And they're taking cues from doctors who have, or, you know, professionals, these experts, who have very, very, very questionable ties, not only to China, but also to other institutions or other things that they've done in the past.
That it's very, I'm skeptical.
And so when we're talking about this sort of thing, it's just the ridiculousness of where we are with the legislation and the rules surrounding what you can and cannot do.
There's no rhyme or reason.
There's no logic to it.
Even people who work in the medical field, even people who work in virology or, you know, these other kind of areas, they're thinking, I know some of them who are like, this makes no sense.
And I think that there has to be natural skepticism of politicians because we don't trust them to do anything else.
We don't trust them to do, you know, to regulate welfare.
We don't trust them not to tax us into oblivion.
We don't trust them to do anything.
Give us our own driver's license, a DMV.
And yet you trust them to do to deal with this situation, you know, effectively.
I'm sorry.
So suddenly the years of distrust that we have against politicians and against some of these experts and things, because we know that a lot of the time they have their own interests at heart.
We know that.
And that's proven.
You know, why do people in the United States get into politics and are not millionaires?
That's just, I'm just curious.
And yet, and this is the one case where you go, you know what?
No, they're right.
No, no, they've got it.
They've got a down pad.
Fear is makes people stupid.
Right.
Fear makes people complete morons.
Sorry to be mean, but it really does.
It makes people very stupid.
No, and honestly, and that's why, to be completely honest, when it comes to fear or things, I know that I live in my house that where you live next to me, there's been some, honestly, no, but honestly, there's been some break-ins and things.
I don't like to live in fear thinking what's going to happen to my property, to my things, even while we're here, which is why, you know, not only do I want America to trust, but I know that the official security company of Slightly Offensive is SimplySafe.
And I don't know if you've heard of it.
I have.
You told me about it.
Yeah.
So Simply Safe, essentially, for people that are afraid, what happens when I'm away from my home?
How are things going to be protected?
How can I monitor my life, but also not be like secretly monitored or hacked in by the CIA?
Well, Simply Safe is an amazing home.
Doesn't have to do it.
Well, I'm just saying it could, but because they have an HD camera, but the reason why I like the HD camera on this security system is because when you're home and you're not using it, it covers the video with plastic in a way that you can't actually see through it in the camera.
So it creates the ultimate privacy and protection.
They also have monitors for every window, for every door.
We had people break into the garage downstairs the other day.
Obviously, didn't have SimplySafe.
But I'm telling you, if you go to simplysafe.com/slash offensive, the links are in the description, you can find out how to not only get the best security system in America, but nothing's better than getting, you get a free HD camera, which is great.
Okay, you don't have to buy that on top of it, but you also get a 60-day risk-free trial.
So it's pretty good.
Yeah, you get two months of free security.
Why not be safe, but not just safe, be simply safe.
Go to simply safe.com slash offensive right now to get the slightly offensive deal, which is to get that free HD camera, the 60-day risk-free trial.
And most importantly, I'm going to tell you that it gives you 24-7 protection for your home, for your office, for any place that you care about or it matters to you.
Go to simplysafe.com slash offensive to get your free HD camera and your 60-day risk-free trial.
Well, as we kind of bring this to a close and as we look at this, you know, when I look at these people and I, and I, and I see that the issue going on here is that A, we are being encouraged to take a vaccine.
Now, people like Dr. Anthony Fauci, people like Chris Cuomo, people that, or not Chris Cuomo, Chris Cuomo is the CNN anchor.
Yeah.
Andrew Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo.
Thank you.
Andrew Cuomo, but they probably both would.
Really, honestly, they're all sort of blending into the same person at this point.
Fauci Cuomo.
Dr. Cuomo.
You could just really, you could just meld their faces together and be like, that's just, they're just like one person at this point.
Right.
But they came together and they basically brought together this sort of like boastfulness that like, you know, we're going to take the vaccine on camera because we're really cool people.
And I'll probably end up adding this in in post since we don't have a lot of time here in the studio.
Thanks for everyone for sticking around for a second while we're trying to wrap this up.
But my point being is that whether it's Pete Davidson, who I'm going to tell you, this is a real story.
Pete Davidson, the drugged out actor from Saturday Night Live, rips Staten Island's anti-COVID lockdown babies, the people protesting while he's on air, like working for SNL.
He has his job, is mocking people who are protesting the lockdown who lost their job.
Like, how out of touch is this person?
Then it turns out there's another article here that I find out not only that, but from IndieWire that the, I, well, yeah, I'll load here, that Saturday Night Live found a COVID loophole for its live audience by paying them as employees, meaning a show that's on TV that is not only having a studio audience, which is not essential, but now they're all employees, they're social distanced employees, by a host who's mocking people who want to keep their jobs is now also encouraging people to take the vaccine.
So when you take someone like Ben Shapiro, who's typically very smart, but is taking a mocking approach to get you to take it, you take Cuomo and Fauci, who are supposed to be, you know, a governor and a medical bureaucrat professional, who are essentially comparing themselves to celebrities, Al Pacino and whatnot.
They're saying like, basically, we're cool.
We're like movie characters.
They're laughing together and we're going to take the vaccine.
They're elating themselves to be like, I don't know, some sort of like model citizen.
And then you look at even, you know, these institutions, celebrities encouraging me to do this.
You know, Cardi B also encourages most women to strip down naked and stick their butts on the next penis they see.
Not good advice to young women, but they still give us bad advice in every other area of life.
And then we go, well, now just trust us.
Now, now listen to us because we know best because we've never gotten it wrong before.
And so I'm sitting here as a person, as a pro-vaccination person, not even caring about the anti-vax people who are saying, this is going to kill you, blah, blah, blah.
I don't think everyone's going to die from taking this.
I'm just saying when you are a healthy person, you have a 99.98% chance of survival.
If you're healthy, right?
They say it's 97%.
No, that includes like 80-year-olds, 90-year-olds.
If you're a healthy person under 40 years old, the chances of dying or having serious problems from this are bar none.
They're almost zero.
There are some, I don't know the number, which they're not being clarifying about.
There's complications involved with this, specifically, especially for women, it looks like, with infertility and issues, according to claims by individuals, not my claims, YouTube.
When it comes down to it, I think people need to realize that you need to take your health into your own hands.
I don't want people not to take it.
I'm just my encouragement to people is weigh your risk and also give time.
Please give time to make sure that it is the right move for you.
And do not take anything.
See, I'm not saying don't take the vaccine, YouTube, but don't take anything that you're not comfortable with or that you believe is good for your health or your family's health.
Be a real citizen and an individual.
And that's what I take.
And if you want to take it, then good for you.
Then just do it.
I think that what you're talking about is important here because people should have the option to make their own decisions when it comes to this sort of thing.
I know that there is a really, really, really big push at the moment for this to be, you know, like a really common worldwide thing where everyone is basically, you know, getting this vaccine.
But I think until there is better research, until there is, and you've said this yourself, until there is actually some certifiable thing that there aren't these horrific side effects, which mind you, there might not be.
There might be none.
There might be a really tiny itty bitty portion of people who have an actual and we will find out.
And you know what?
Look, no drug is risk-free.
That's a fact.
Like no drug is risk-free.
Even, you know, you read, when you actually read the information in some of these, you know, drugs, just things that we take on the daily, just things that, you know, even Sudafed, a whole laundry list of things that could potentially happen with me taking it this morning.
Great.
Probably they won't, but, you know, and some people they will.
I think what you're referring to, and I'm going to quote a mate of mine here who said this to me recently, and I thought it was so poignant.
There's a big difference between accountable and unaccountable America.
So accountable America is people like you and me who are actually genuinely affected by everything that's going on, who will be affected by these vaccinations and what have you, because, you know, we're either self-employed or we, you know, work for business or whatever.
Whereas you have these hyper-rich, untouchable bureaucrats, people who work for SNL, yada, yada, yada, who they're not accountable to what's happening because it doesn't affect them.
They can go home to their gazillion dollar mansion at the end of the day, sit outside and go, hmm, wasn't that great.
I'm still going to get paid.
I can probably still, you know, I can, I basically transcend a lot of the laws and legislation in place.
That's why these politicians have been going out and doing things that they won't allow their own citizens to do.
There's unaccountable America is the problem here because this stuff doesn't affect them.
They go about their lives and there's really no change to what they're doing.
They can sit out in their yacht in the middle of the ocean and go, oh, why are all these people protesting?
They're so silly.
Why don't these people want to get this vaccination?
They're so silly.
Well, they fly on their private jet and never have to worry about going on, you know, your commercial airline.
It's just absurd to me.
Well, there you go.
There you go.
Case in point.
And there's nothing wrong with a private jet.
I'm just saying that these are not the people who are.
I wish I had a bloody private jet.
Thank you.
I want to not have to ever deal with lines again.
But do you know what I'm saying?
There's a real problem with unaccountable America.
And I think that that is really where this schism has occurred, where these people don't take seriously the concerns of everyday citizens.
And people like you and me are out here going, you don't represent any of us because your life experience.
And I'm not on anybody who has earned money or who has worked their to get where they are.
I think that is phenomenal.
And I'm so, I think it's great that we do live in a country where you can actually do that and become basically an unaccountable person.
I don't think you should be unaccountable, but I'm really happy that people are in a position where they can actually, you know, become wealthy or whatever.
The problem is that these people don't have an understanding, particularly politicians and particularly these bureaucrats.
They don't have an understanding of what it's like to be an everyday person.
And that is where this issue, that's where this issue basically comes from.
I agree, guys.
