Comments by "" (@1987BillyBob) on "Gavin Newsom brutalizes Fox News AGAIN" video.

  1. When? When will they ever admit they were 100% wrong on covid?
    7
  2. Because in TX we actually stop criminals.
    5
  3.  @RVG9  no, we actually stop criminals here in TX.
    5
  4. You do know nothing was proven in court
    4
  5. What facts? CA is a mess.
    3
  6.  @Adam.Langton  no it wasn't. It was settled out of court where a settlement out of court is not an admission of guilt. It is a way for both parties to cut their loses and move on. Fox could have took it to trial and it would have harmed them financially, but it would have also harmed Dominion. If Dominion had such a strong case, why did they settle out of court as opposed to squeezing Fox our of billions?

  7.  @ConnieN-1098  he did not own up to anything. He was only sorry that he got caught. I am so sorry you are fooled by that guy.

  8. I remember when Gavin only cleaned up San Fran when Xi came to visit.

  9.  @desynchonosisdragon9108  "you know they settled because court would have been a disaster for them. Probably a 1.5 trillion dollar disaster." So Dominion decided to take less money?
    2
  10.  @mowcowbell  no, they settled out of court to move on from the issue. A drawn out court case would have hurt the stock pricing of Fox, so it was best to settle out of court and move on. Very common really. That money was a drop in the bucket for Fox.

  11.  @lucyc1077  so does TX. If you do a plot of state GDP as a function of population you will see a nice, linear correlation. So what is your point? That CA happens to be the most populous state in the nation with the highest GDP?
    2
  12.  @katalac  you were 100% wrong on covid.
    2
  13.  @thetabest  I did not go to school in TX. I went obtained my PhD and MBA in another state. I got a job in TX because that is where all the high paying jobs are.
    2
  14.  @hwirtwirt4500  I live in TX, it is great. I have a friend from the bay area in CA. When they visited me here in Houston they said downtown Houston looks like downtown San Fran, but cleaner.
    2
  15.  @mex55  you can point at isolated incidents in every state. Uvalde was a mess up as it was a gun free zone and the police failed. Many school districts allow teachers to carry guns and they have no problems. A 49er was recently shot in CA. In 2023 you had a shooting in Los Angeles that led to 11 being dead. You had another one in 2023 that led to 18 dying in Half Moon Bay. Half Moon Bay is supposed to be one of the better parts of California.

  16. The CDC guidance made no sense and they were all over the place. Wear a masks, don't wear a masks, now wear two masks. They were jerking people around.
    1
  17. To add, the restaurant issue was not his only bad one. During the NFC championship he was seen not wearing a mask while indoors taking a picture with Magic Johnson. He excuse was that he was holding his masks. Meanwhile, the next day kids had to go back to school and had to wear masks.
    1
  18. To be fair people in CA like him because the people that hate him left.
    1
  19. CA has the highest poverty rate in the US
    1
  20. If you were scared you can hide in your closet.
    1
  21. The CDC admitted they got covid wrong. And come summer of 2020 it was clear that anyone with a functional brain that we needed to get back to normal that covid was not that dangerous.
    1
  22. I can, all they will do is deflect and never answer the question.
    1
  23. Newsom dodged the question and made up lies. No one is banning books and women's rights. During covid you had Newsom telling people to stay home while he enjoyed and expensive meal at an expensive diner. And we can look at the performance, CA is a mess.
    1
  24.  @4362mont  what is wrong with my statement? Why can't you guys ever give a rebuttal? Must be that CA education you obtained.
    1
  25.  @finspin4984  what books are banned in FL?
    1
  26.  @finspin4984  no books are banned in FL. You can buy any book you want in FL.
    1
  27.  @jeniferdouglas  no they are not. You can buy any book you want in FL.
    1
  28.  @finspin4984  schools have been banning books for decades. That is nothing new. Both sides do it.
    1
  29. OK covidiot
    1
  30. Because project 2025 is nothing. Trump does not endorse it. It was created by a think tank where both sides have one, and it has existed in other forms in the past and has changed.
    1
  31. Come summer of 2020 anyone with a functional brain knew covid was not that dangerous. We actually knew in March of 2020 as the data was clear.
    1
  32. It wasn't just that. To start, it was indoors. Next, during the NFC championship game in LA he was seen not wearing a mask taking a photo with Magic Johnson when kids were forced to wear masks in schools.

  33. Yes, and they proceeded to destroy it.
    1
  34. Tulsi did destroy Harris in 2019
    1
  35.  @Adam.Langton  no, they settled out of court. A out of court settlement is not an admission of guilt. If Dominion had such a strong case why didn't they take Fox to court and drain them?
    1
  36.  @glenod  "us sane people saw and heard fox peddle trumps shit for years about fraud," This is what our major "news" organizations do. Remember when CNN and MSNBC were saying Biden was completely fine but could no longer lie when the debate happened? And now they are covering for Harris. Heck, Dana was literally feeding Harris the answers in their pre-recorded interview. " fox ran to settle as they would have been on the hook for lots more if all the evidence against them became public." Then why didn't Dominion take them to court? Get more and bury Fox.
    1
  37.  @ultimatespinach  a settlement out of court is not an admission of guilt.
    1
  38.  @elliotbrent  so why didn't Dominion take them to court and drain them of more money?
    1
  39.  @tinasmith9599  that money is a drop in the bucket for Fox news.
    1
  40.  @ghintz2156  "No innocent party pays out $700 million" When they can afford it and paying that much is the cheaper route they will.
    1
  41.  @hongsitu3429  "What individual or company would willingly hand out almost $800m because they were innocent?" Because going to court can cost them more. A drawn our court case can ruin stock prices and do more damage. So they settle out of court and move on. Compare it to this, me on the small scale. A hotel charged me $120 one time on my corporate card after a business trip. After multiple emails and phone calls that lasted over a month I paid up out of pocket and moved on. Why? Well, I could have fought it, I could have got the company involved and resolved it, but I was spending too much time on it. So I paid out of pocket. Now compare that to a company worth billions. They could have fought it in court and won, but with the time and other costs it would have been more expensive. So they paid up and moved on.
    1
  42.  @hongsitu3429  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk7fYBw6PfQ Compare it to that but on a larger scale.
    1
  43.  @abeautifuldayful  " If you think that much "money is a drop in the bucket" for anyone, I've got a great ground-floor opportunity to buy underpriced shares of The Brooklyn Bridge reserved just for you" Fox News is worth over $18 billion. That payment is less than 5% of their worth. And that is not even considering how they obtain their money is completely different than someone like you me. $787 million is big to you who most likely earn less than $100,000 a year. But for a company worth over $18 billion is it not.
    1
  44.  @Therealtruthsocial  it is difficult to prove if someone is lying. They could have very much believed what they were saying which is not illegal.
    1
  45.  @Adam.Langton  it isn't only lawyers. A lot of Fox News value comes from their shares. If the value of their shares drop they will lose money. Being tied up in long litigation will lead to that. So it was easier and better financially to settle out of court. Many businesses do that in many situation. Think about the damage it would have done for Fox to be in weeks, or even months of litigation. Even if they would have won investors would question the stability of the company reducing the values of their stock. Remember, Dominion was suing them for $1.6 billion in damages, why did they settle for less?

  46.  @theiska2508  so now you are making excuses. Admit it, you are wrong.

  47.  @JRook-00  I can see why you are lost. You only do 5 minutes of googling for research on a complex topic.
    1
  48.  @jaycorbin  "So firing Tucker Carlson, the only Fox anchor anybody ever watched, was no big deal for Fox?" Fox is still up and running. How about when CNN fired Chris Cuomo?

  49.  @clocksurfer  the moment you step outside of your home you take a risk. Even in your own home, depending your living situation, you are taking a risk in life. I walked to the ATM today, I took a risk in life crossing the street. If you are so scared you hide at home. Or you isolate yourself from others. Yes, me purposely infecting your with some disease can be considered murder. But me walking by you in passing and you get infected is not my fault as you took the risk in life to interact with the public.

  50. CA has the highest poverty rate in the US
    1
  51.  @CaliforniaWesternForces  if you do a plot of GDP as a function of state population you will get a nice, linear correlation. TX has the second highest population in the US and the 2nd highest GDP.
    1
  52. Where? Also, did you see the video of someone electrifying their Trump sign because it was being stolen too many times?
    1
  53.  @nancychandler367  "California had the lowest death rate per capita from Covid-19" Actually the lowest was Hawaii, CA is 38th, but CA also has one of the youngest population in the US. Also, their economy is terrible.
    1
  54.  @daroob  sigh......do a plot of state GDP as a function of state population. You will get a nice, linear fit with basically a direct correlation. CA has the highest population in the US that has the highest GDP of any nation. That is why that is the case. Look at TX, they are in the top 20 in GDP compared if they were their own nation. So congrats, you completely failed statistics. Must be that CA education, or maybe when you were in line to take statistics is when Newsom shut down schools and was enjoying a nice, expensive dinner.
    1
  55.  @truthrespect9241  you have the highest homeless rate in the US and you are number one in poverty rate.
    1
  56.  @ncwordman  sigh.......plot state GDP as a function of state population, you will get basically a 1 to 1 correlation.
    1
  57.  @agentg1591  now account for cost of living. When you do CA is number 1 and MS is in the middle of the pack.
    1
  58.  @truthrespect9241  CA's GDP is only high because it is the largest state in population in the US which has the largest economy in the world. TX has a high GDP as well, higher than most nations. Nick Allegretti has 3 super bowl rings. Does that make him the best guard in the NFL?
    1
  59.  @truthrespect9241  population plays a role. As I said in other comments, if you plot a state GDP as a function of their population there is a one to one correlation with an exception of a couple of states. You get an r-square of 0.9999. If CA decided to become their own nation they will have to deal with different laws, different international trade and travel. It will change their GDP. But that is not the case. They are a part of the US which has the largest GDP in the world. They are just along for the ride.
    1
  60.  @truthrespect9241  not in this case. Population is the main component.
    1
  61.  @MultiBlackmind  no, moving to TX was one of the smartest things I did. I live in a free state. Now go wear your 4 masks and do what the liberal elites tell you.

  62. He didn't give any details. CA is a mess. Gavin is a dictator.

  63. I remember when Newsom saw people stealing from a store and when he questioned it it was exposed because of the law saying anything under $950 is a misdemeanor.

  64. Wait a minute.....old people die?

  65. Trump did not mandate any lockdowns. He did not mandate anything. He created a travel ban from China and was called a racist and give NY a navy ship to use as a temporary hospital. States created the lockdowns.

  66.  @bera0014  Trump never said inject bleach and UV light. And come summer of 2020 anyone with a functional brain knew covid was nothing and went back to normal if they lived in a free state.
    1
  67.  @noumenanoz8819  10s of millions of lives were destroyed from that policy, and zero lives were saved.
    1
  68.  @noumenanoz8819  it was clear from the beginning that this virus was not that dangerous. A NEJM paper released in Feb of 2020 with Fauci as the first author stated that, and we had the petri dish in the cruise ship. If the virus was that dangerous the majority on that cruise ship would have died. Instead 7 did and all were over the age of 70 were deaths of elderly on cruise ships is more common than you think as stated in a 2001 paper.
    1
  69.  @Pizzlier  Fauci ruined 10s of millions of lives by deciding to become a celebrity as opposed to following science. There is a reason why he had never worked on any patient in his life, he is not an actual doctor. Anyone with a brain come summer of 2020 knew covid was not that dangerous and went back to normal if they lived in a free state. I, unfortunately did not. I saw the stupidity of people who were freaking out over the sniffles. If covid was really that dangerous states like GA, FL and TX would have seen a very high death rate, they did not.

  70.  @last12know30  "when will you read a book written for adults?" Let us see.....looking to my left at my bookshelf.....I see Nonlinear Optics by Boyd, that is a good book. What about Corporate Finance by Berk and DeMarzo. That is a pretty good book.
    1
  71.  @glenod  Trump never said inject bleach. What was brought up was that bleach can be used to destroy the virus. So he was wondering if something could be tested that can be injected into the body to destroy the virus. He did not say bleach. That is not uncommon. In fact, ivermectin was considered which is completely safe for humans and has the potential to destroy the virus in the body. Turns out that wasn't so, but it was worth a shot. You also ended up with the vaccine which was also injected into the body. But bottom line, Trump never said to inject bleach.
    1
  72.  @Dobbs65  "1.1 Million Covid Deaths under Trumps watch." That number is vastly overstated. Fact is those people would have died in the same timeframe based on numerous statistics. As for excess deaths, there were excess deaths due to the lockdowns. Excess deaths due to spikes in alcohol and substance abuse, Excess deaths due to people not seeking out healthcare because they were scared from the media fear mongering about covid so they did not seek healthcare at hospitals. Also, you can't compare covid deaths to other nations as every nation reports it differently. N. Korea, for example, did not have a covid death for over a year when it first arrived. Is that a stat you trust?

  73. @Rebelfire83 Corporate Finance was required for my MBA. Nonlinear Optics was related to my PhD research which was ultrafast spectroscopy via femtosecond laser pulses. It is achieved via a nonlinear effect.
    1
  74.  @agentg1591  democrats were completely wrong on covid. It was not that deadly. We had the petri dish via the cruise ship and 7 people died all who were over the age of 70 where deaths of elderly on cruse ships is very common as mentioned in the paper tiltled "Passenger mortalities aboard cruise ships" Come summer of 2020 anyone with a functional brain went back to normal if they could.

  75.  @ncwordman  " Let me get this straight, Billy Joe Jim Bob: You have textbooks from a Master's class in Quantum electronics...and economics. Did you get two master's, Billy Joe?" I got a PhD and an MBA. That is not uncommon. The product manager of my company has that as well. And yes, they are good books.
    1
  76.  @ncwordman  Corporate Finance was for one of my courses for my MBA. I have others. Nonlinear Optics is not an introductory book. It is a book on a specific topic that, relatively speaking, a handful of people study. Prior to my PhD studies I earned a BA in chemistry and a BS in physics. I took courses like Quantum Mechanics and E&M using Griffith's book. In grad school I used Cohen- Tannoudji and Jackson for those two courses. My research was related to ultrafast spectroscopy via femtosecond laser pulses and thus I read Nonlinear Optics along with other books such as Femtosecond Laser Pulses by Rulliere as they are specific for my research. Someone studying organic synthesis will not need to read that book. At our meeting on Friday for my company an external individual gave a presentation and they mentioned in their PhD work they did Raman spectroscopy and never done it before. The story he told was that when he asked his advisor how to do Raman spectroscopy his advisor have him a book on it and said "read it". On route to you PhD you take general courses, and even in certain subject matters like quantum mechanics, they are general. I had 15 people in my graduate level quantum course. Out of the 15 I was the only one that went on to studied ultrafast spectroscopy and thus I read up on nonlinear optics. Others in my class went on to study plasma physics. As such they read books on plasma physics. I didn't. So no, entering my PhD research I did not have a deep understanding on nonlinear optics, neither did non of my colleagues. I had a good base via taking quantum mechanics and electrodynamics.

  77.  @ncwordman  as for my MBA, I did not get a business degree. Thus, to get my MBA I had to take 6 intro courses related to marketing, accounting, etc. I did not have to take statistics due to my math minor. After I took those I completed my MBA. Also, please tell me no Nonlinear Optics is an introduction textbook? So are you saying you can grab it right now, without taking quantum mechanics or electrodynamics and completely understand it?
    1
  78.  @ncwordman  ""Nonlinear Optics" is described as an intro at the master's level. So, yes, by then you would have taken Quantum Mechanics and QED. I said it was "an introductory master's textbook," which you claimed to need for your PhD research" Where is that described? Also, as I said, for my PhD I read it. Was it required? No. But I did to understand nonlinear optics better. Ultimately for my PhD work I read papers. I could have gotten away without reading Nonlinear Optics. I read it to understand nonlinear effects better. That is what curious minds do. I was curious how the DFG crystal works in the OPA I was using. Why not? ""Corporate Finance" is also an introductory master's textbook FOR A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DEGREE. So if you didn't get a bachelor's in business, then you wouldn't be studying a master-level textbook on finance." The program I went through had me read that. As I said, I did not have a business degree so I had to take 6 introductory courses first. I was not the only one. Many people did where many had engineering degrees. I also had to read Financial Accounting and Managerial Economics and Business Strategy. From there I took advanced courses where one professor had us read The Financial System, Financial Regulation and Central Bank Policy.

  79.  @ncwordman  not to be rude but it seems that you never went to school or went through a graduate level program.
    1
  80.  @ncwordman  keep in mind this all started when someone told me to read adult books and I listed off two I read while in grad school. I just listed more.
    1
  81.  @ncwordman  how am I a troll? I am correct. Democrats were 100% wrong on covid. Uh, an MBA program is a graduate program. And you don't need a business degree to get an MBA. As I said, many who entered the program with me had engineering degree. And I had to read Corporate Finance for my MBA route, like other people had to in that class. "You know that I know master's and PhD research are two totally things, right? " Not really. You have different routes. You can no a thesis route and a non-thesis route. It depends. In the thesis route you do have to do some research. In my PhD route I had to do more research. I also had a committee of 5 people where the non-thesis you only needed 3, at least in my grad school. Also, on route to my grad work, and beyond I read Nonlinear Optics, just like I read Femtosecond Laser Pulses. Another book I read and have on my book shelf is Laser-Induced Dynamic Gratings. Another book I have and read that has nothing to do with my research is Physics of High-Tc Superconductors. You don't have to believe me, but I am really specific with these books.
    1
  82.  @ncwordman  also, on route to my MBA I did not have to do research, like almost all MBA programs. Some other books I had to read was Blue Ocean Strategy, Switch, International Management and so on. Again, I am specific with these books. But go ahead and call me a troll and hide your head in the sand. Sorry you firmly held, religious like belief that all Trump supporters of uneducated rednecks is not true.

  83.  @MultiBlackmind  what lies do I say? Someone asked me about reading adult books. I am pretty specific about books I have read as adults.
    1
  84.  @taranullius9221  I listed many books. I listed Quantum Mechanics by Cohen-Tannoudji. I listed Femtosecond Laser Pulses Rulliere. I listed The Financial System, Financial Regulation and Central Bank Policy by Cargill. Do you want me to list my entire bookshelf? It does not matter if you don't believe me, it does not change the fact that I have a PhD and an MBA and I have read many books.

  85.  @canuckprogressive.3435  it was never that dangerous to begin with. We knew that as early as March of 2020. The covid lockdowns caused more damage and the vaccine mandates did a lot of damage as well. Face the facts, you guys freaked our over the sniffles.
    1
  86. The flu have existed for centuries. If you were scared you could stay home. You can also take actions to prevent from getting sick. The covid restrictions caused more damage than the virus could have. I am sorry you want to live like bubble boy.
    1
  87. Here is a fact you can't dispute, covid was not that dangerous to justify all the covid restrictions and vaccine mandates.
    1
  88. Trump was calling for states to open up. He also never did a lockdowns, that were the states. Come summer of 2020 republicans opened up their states where states like CA were shut down. I remember fall of 2021 CA still had covid restrictions.

  89. How did you reduce stress of your students? Did you make them sing a song about wearing a mask to school?

  90. Covid was not that dangerous.
