| 0:00.0 | Well, let me take us on a little journey, though, if you will. |
| 0:04.4 | Yes, please. |
| 0:05.3 | I promise this won't take too long. |
| 0:07.4 | But I think it actually, all the stuff that we're talking about with regards to Leonhardt is only really going to be supported by some of the stuff that I'm about to bring in. |
| 0:17.7 | I looked at, I basically read every newsletter of his from the last two years |
| 0:21.5 | that mentioned COVID, which is most of them, although some of them are just like tiny mentions |
| 0:25.0 | or whatever, like little updates or like a link to something, whatever. But what emerged really |
| 0:29.5 | quickly was a couple of really obvious things, some really obvious stuff. Like for example, he has |

| 1:19.1 | except it's just the same headline every time. The, so in this January 28th, |
| 1:23.2 | 2021 morning newsletter, he writes, the only one line from this that's important is, quote, |
| 1:28.5 | we may be in the very early stages of herd immunity. January 28th, 2021. |
| 1:35.5 | Wow. |
| 1:37.0 | If that, okay, you know, I recognize a variety of people may be listening to this for a variety of |
| 1:42.9 | reasons. If that doesn't get you to discount, David Leonhardt, I don't know what the fuck else I'm going to be listening to this for a variety of reasons. If that doesn't get you to |
