to hit the earth, shortly in their future hit the earth, and people are taking what is objectively true and creating a political message that is not true and getting people to then believe that. it s like, oh, my gosh. it s all compressed into just a couple minutes of that clip. and i think, we ve seen this happen. i don t even know if i have a solution for this. i ll offer one. here it is. in school we are taught that science is this satchel of facts. you learn it and regurgitate it for the final and then you go home. later on you learn that one of those facts got modified or discarded for some other fact. you say, well, science doesn t know what it s talking about. because you didn t learn science as it should have been taught, as a way of querying nature, as

why is it not right now? that is, i mean, you can boil off this at least the last six months down to that why tomorrow? what s so special about tomorrow why not immediately? and just to see that they would be that excited to have given back to they will what is already theirs their right to oxygen we have really lost our way. lawrence: yeah. you know brandon, interesting thing to me is that, you know, what all of these mandates, the science doesn t support the conclusion that these elected officials have gotten to. so why do they keep imposing these mandates when they know they re not ?ifng? scientific? it is a power struggle saying we re not able to unmask until numbers are lower. but then they re saying oh get vaccinated well we know that it doesn t matter if you re vaccinated you can still transmit this disease. this is a power struggle. this is a time where we have
