It has been 50 days since Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party.
In the dead of night yesterday, she finally released her campaign policy page. Here's what I think of it 🧵
Thought on why the @joerogan / @PeterHotez kerfuffle is a seminal moment…
We have been lied to so brazenly and repeatedly since 2015 about virtually everything.
Let’s list just a few:
Russia Collusion
Donald Trump “very fine people”
Brett Kavanaugh is a serial rapist
Jussie Smolett hoax
Covington kids are racist
Mostly peaceful protests
Covid vax stops Covid
Masks work
Lockdowns are scientific
Boys are girls and vice versa
Joe Biden is mentally sound
The list goes on and on.
Before the internet the lies could stick forever. Now, over time, and with increasing speed, the lies are debunked.
Truth is a time release pill and it’s activating quicker these days.
The Machine has relied on the lies sticking longer as it adjusted accordingly. Now with so many people going around mainstream media, we are all seeing behind the curtain.
The reason so many people won’t debate is because for decades they haven’t had to as their ideas won by default. Now we have podcasts, interactions on Twitter, free speech havens like @rumblevideo and new voices like @elonmusk, @RobertKennedyJr, @Cobratate, @jordanbpeterson and others willing to be in the fight.
The interaction between Rogan and Hotez took off not only because people have had it with the lies, they’ve also had it with the people who push them and then refuse to debate the moment they are slightly challenged.
At some point if everyone besides you is an anti-science, anti-vax, racist, misogynist, homophobe, perhaps you need just look in the mirror.
So the game is afoot. The real question is what side are you on?
Joe Trying to bully Dr Hotez?
Interesting
Let me address 5 issues with your tweet:
1. Bullying
Millions of Americans from all walks of life were bullied into taking the vaccine.
Some forced
Many coerced
Many threatened to lose their jobs
Thousands of businesses went bankrupt
Families were divided on the vaccine issue.
Late night hosts doing skits dressed in a syringes
Mayors of NY city offering free fries if you took the vaccine
NIH director flip flopping on masks
MSM calling those who questioned the vaccine “conspiracy theorists”
And you call @joerogan a bully? 🤔
2. Capitalism
What makes capitalism work
Freedom to buy
Freedom to sell
Freedom to try
Freedom to fail
Key word is “FREEDOM”
You told me 10 years ago that your favorite book was Atlas Shrugged. I even gifted you a 1st print, 1st edition of the book 8 years ago.
A story of a dystopian 🇺🇸 in which private businesses suffer under increasingly burdensome laws & regulations.
Of all the people who knows what happened the last 3 years, it’s YOU.
We all know who got destroyed in that book.
The small business owner
The man/woman who risked it all for a dream
These men & women who are heroes to society were bullied, mocked, silenced and disrespected during the pandemic.
How were laws and regulations during COVID?
How many small business owners lost everything?
You have the stats.
You know the numbers.
You know you’re against this.
I sometimes wonder what you fear?
What is preventing you from using your logic, experience and common sense (that YOU have a ton of) to share that POV with YOUR followers? 🤔
3. Debate
I’ve watched you closely over the years. You’re great at debating.
So great that you could argue both sides of any issue.
I think you ought to make a run for the 2024 presidential election.
You have some very good points.
I digress.
You say let’s not disrespect all the medical professionals that dedicate their lives to saving lives, like @PeterHotez & the 800k plus doctors in the country that believe vaccines save lives.
One of the benefits of living in 🇺🇸 is its health care system.
My Dad was supposed to be dead 37 years ago after having a MASSIVE heart attack. He wasn’t supposed to live past 65.
We just celebrated his 81st b-day thanks to great doctors who took care of him.
But just like cops, we know 99% of them do the right thing but the 1% who don’t, should we not hold them accountable?
All Joe is asking for is a debate.
If Dr. Hoetz is right, then what does he have to lose?
Is he too good for it?
You sure don’t fear debating anyone?
Why protect Dr Hotez instead of letting them get in the ring?
Debating is the American way. It helps us get closer to the truth.
4. Comparing @elonmusk & Rogan to mainstream media
That’s a bit of a stretch but I have an idea of why you would say that.
Before October of last year, these types of conversations were NOT possible on twitter, FB or YT.
Only in private settings
Many content creators were silenced if they interviewed people with opposing views on COVID.
Our @RobertKennedyJr interview was taken down on YT 2 years ago.
Content creators were walking on egg shells afraid of being deplatformed.
Musk isn’t silencing anyone who argues for vaccines.
He’s actually creating a climate to have the debate.
Just this week MSNBC & CNN both said they won’t air Trump’s speech because they already knew in advance that he’ll tell lies. As if JB only tells the truth? 🤔
That sounds like a dictatorship where the elite know what’s best for you & I.
As if we can’t think for ourselves. A bit arrogant + pompous, don’t you think?
Thank God for @Twitter, @Spotify, @Rumble and other platforms who allowed for the discussion to happen.
5. Cost Plus Drugs
As a marketer, I respect your strategy of getting into this thread to promote costplusdrugs.
A lesson for small business owners.
Keep pushing the envelope. We need as many voices as possible.
OBAMA: WMB $307 Billion Bank Collapse - Russia INVADED Crimea..
TRUMP: 0 major BANK collapses, record breaking economy - NO NEW wars..
BIDEN: SVB $209 Billion Bank Collapse [Additional Failures likely]- Russia INVADED Ukraine..
