| Speakeasy hair studio. | |
| Is that great? | |
| You know, like the places that were open during Prohibition. | |
| Now it's a hair studio. | |
| I went for a haircut in an underground hair salon. | |
| Felt like I was sneaking into an anti-Soviet place. | |
| California. | |
| The West Coast has so few deaths. | |
| And the human misery caused by the lockdown, which has no end in sight. | |
| July 6th in Oregon. | |
| But listen to what she wrote, because this is almost all you need to know. | |
| Let's see. | |
| Since March 19th, I've had only a handful of customers. | |
| Overwhelmingly, these brave customers are conservative. | |
| Thanks for everything you do. | |
| Huh. | |
| Now why would that be? | |
| Do liberals and leftists' hair not grow as fast as conservatives' hair? | |
| Je le doute. | |
| I doubt it. | |
| This is the I want to be safe crowd. | |
| That is not my crowd. | |
| My crowd wants to live fully. | |
| That's right. | |
| About 500 of you came with me to Israel. | |
| But they're always the folks, including some conservatives, who only will go when it's safe. | |
| So they never went. | |
| But it's always been safe. | |
| I've never asked. | |
| You know when I went to Israel? | |
| In fact, you could see it on the internet. | |
| I made a documentary, believe it or not. | |
| During the Intifada, when Jerusalem was as empty as your city is today, Alan Estrin and I went, we made a documentary, Israel in a Time of Terror. | |
| Then it was really dangerous. | |
| Buses were being blown up, restaurants were being blown up. | |
| I'm not a hero. | |
| I just, I simply rationally assess. | |
| The likelihood of being blown up is extremely small. | |
| The proof that I rationally decide what to do is I don't gamble because I know rationally the chances of my coming out ahead are small. | |
| Now, I don't mind if people gamble because it's fun. | |
| I have no problem with that at all. | |
| I don't happen to find it fun, so I don't do it. | |
| But if I did, I would do it. | |
| So I'd lose a couple of hundred dollars, and it would be equivalent to a night out of entertainment. | |
| Totally get it. | |
| But gambling, to any great degree, the reason I don't is because the odds are overwhelmingly against me. | |
| The odds are overwhelmingly. | |
| You are more likely to win at a slot machine than die of COVID-19 if you are not sick and you are under 80. Okay? | |
| You hear me? | |
| You are more likely to win at the slot machine. | |
| So if you think that you're at risk of dying from this virus, you should definitely go to Vegas. | |
| They're opening up. | |
| and go to a slot machine because you obviously believe that you will somehow, little tiny odds will go in your favor or against you, as the case may be. | |
| All of this reinforces my conservatism and my religiosity. | |
| Religious Christians and Jews. | |
| Are the most organized opponents of the lockdown. | |
| For which they get great contempt from the secular left. | |
| Completely understandable. | |
| That is correct. | |
| It's mutual contempt. | |
| History will record who made a greater contribution to our country and to the West. | |
| 1-8 Prager 776. Is the number here fascinating? | |
| Who goes for a haircut at this woman's place? | |
| Why do you think that is? |
