00:00:00.000 Lower the blast shields. It's getting dangerous out there. Blast shields lowering. Full perimeter
00:00:14.000 security enabled. Robot sensors on. Laser cannons armed.
00:00:28.000 Hope the rest of you are staying safe. It's dangerous out there. It's dangerous. It's dangerous out there I say. Do you know why it's so dangerous out there? Because the weather's nice and we've been cooped up and people just need to get out. Just need to get out and get some exercise. So we've got protest theater breaking out everywhere. But let's talk about the good news first.
00:00:56.000 Want to hear the good news? I think you saw it. Was that the coolest rocket launch ever? I swear I've never needed a rocket launch as much as I needed that rocket launch.
00:01:10.760 That was the rocket launch of all rocket launches. If you watched it live, I'm not sure if it has the same impact if you watch it undelayed.
00:01:20.680 But knowing that so many people were watching it with sort of the hopes of the nation, I would say, if not the world. Mostly the nation.
00:01:33.780 But it was sort of like the hopes of the nation were, you know, focused on that moment.
00:01:40.060 And didn't you feel like, didn't you feel like we just needed to do something right?
00:01:48.720 We meaning people in the United States. You know, you and I didn't have anything to do with it.
00:01:53.300 But you and I don't get any credit at all.
00:01:57.720 But don't you like that some, you know, large entities, in this case, SpaceX and NASA and our government.
00:02:06.200 Don't you like that these large entities, which are American entities, did something that was so right.
00:02:15.000 Just so right.
00:02:15.940 But it was beyond technology.
00:02:20.400 It actually achieved, I think, art.
00:02:24.280 Now, I would say that about a lot of Apple products.
00:02:27.980 You know, you can say that Apple products were, you know, technology and they were tools, but they were also art.
00:02:34.960 Steve Jobs made it so.
00:02:36.840 And I think Elon Musk is certainly operating at that same level where I don't think he's happy.
00:02:46.940 With technology.
00:02:48.860 I don't think he's happy making a product.
00:02:53.740 It feels like he's making art.
00:02:56.860 And here's the fun thing.
00:02:58.940 You know, obviously, the United States has to get pretty serious about space, both government wise and private wise, private company wise,
00:03:08.860 because there's so much national defense, you know, purposes up there.
00:03:13.780 But also, apparently, there's just enormous wealth to be mined by whoever can get up there economically.
00:03:23.460 And if Elon Musk is the first one to be able to mine space or actually colonize space or become the primary transportation.
00:03:40.780 Transportation in space.
00:03:44.780 Do you know how rich he's going to be?
00:03:48.740 Let me put it in these terms.
00:03:51.160 It is not impossible that someday Elon Musk will, wait for it, own a planet.
00:04:05.100 Because what are the rules about who owns a planet?
00:04:08.660 If you had a private company that was the first one to get to a planet, do you get to keep it?
00:04:17.600 Does anybody know what the rules are for that?
00:04:20.600 If Elon Musk, let's say Elon Musk is 90 years old and going strong because he's using the blood of young children or something.
00:04:29.260 So he's staying young, but he's 90 years old and by now he's, you know, he's probably a trillionaire just by the normal compounding of money and his investments.
00:04:39.720 But by the age of 90, he's created such an efficient private enterprise in space that he could actually send a rocket out with enough technology on it to colonize a planet even without people on it.
00:04:56.640 So perhaps we could operate things from a distance, we could send some robots by rocket, the robots could build some kind of a structure and they could do some geo-shaping and turn the planet into a proper little planet that humans can someday operate.
00:05:15.440 But I think, honest to God, I think Elon Musk is going to be the first human to own his own planet.
00:05:27.200 He might not ever be physically on that planet because of the distance, but I think he's going to own a planet someday.
00:05:34.640 Yeah, I don't think you can own the moon.
00:05:36.360 I don't know what the law is on that, but I don't think you can own it.
00:05:39.540 Anyway, so that was inspiring.
00:05:48.020 The funniest thing that happened at the riots today, and there are quite a few candidates for the funniest thing that happened,
00:05:57.980 is, did you see Alex Jones?
00:06:09.660 This is the funniest thing.
00:06:11.660 Alex Jones somehow got an armored vehicle with a loudspeaker on it.
00:06:17.720 And it looked like it was, I don't know, a hammer that had been outfitted with, you know, some kind of armor.
00:06:24.380 So Alex Jones drives, like, into the middle of the protests, and I'm not sure which city it was.
00:06:35.960 Not that it mattered, because all the cities, the protests are looking pretty similar.
00:06:40.460 But he drives into the middle of it, and he's sort of trapped in traffic with everybody else.
00:06:45.420 And he's on this loudspeaker saying, people, we're all in it together.
00:06:50.780 We're all on the same side.
00:06:55.260 And the Antifa and the other protesters are just destroying his armored vehicle.
00:07:02.900 They're like, they're throwing brakes at it.
00:07:05.900 They're breaking the windows.
00:07:07.540 And he's just like, we're all on the same side.
00:07:10.200 And I've got to tell you, if you can say what you want about Alex Jones, you know, I will welcome you to your own, you know, individual opinion on Infowars and Alex Jones.
00:07:28.840 I know he's polarizing.
00:07:31.120 But there's one thing you can't take away from him.
00:07:35.100 The man knows how to do marketing.
00:07:37.820 That was the most clever, ballsy marketing I've ever seen.
00:07:42.720 Because you're all going to go look for that video now.
00:07:46.160 It was freaking hilarious.
00:07:48.460 People, we're all in it together.
00:07:50.800 And they're just attacking him.
00:07:53.020 They're ripping up his arm.
00:07:54.200 Alex Jones for the win on marketing.
00:08:04.820 Oh, that was the funniest thing today.
00:08:07.620 But it wasn't the only funny thing.
00:08:11.300 So, have you seen the video of Batman?
00:08:17.780 There's a video I just saw.
00:08:20.380 It'll probably be going around later tonight.
00:08:22.260 I'm somebody dressed in a Batman costume.
00:08:25.960 And the cameraman just sort of follows Batman through the ground.
00:08:31.300 And all he does, he doesn't do anything except walk through the ground and act like he's actually Batman.
00:08:38.420 And everybody stops.
00:08:39.780 They're like, okay, I guess Batman's here now.
00:08:49.400 Okay, so Batman was funny.
00:08:52.260 All right.
00:08:54.000 So, I tweeted this joke that I knew at least one third of the people wouldn't think it was a joke.
00:09:01.480 So, now I've got, you know, Nicholas Fuentes and the Gripers are tweeting at me.
00:09:08.420 But I think Nicholas Fuentes, I think he's smart enough to know it was a joke.
00:09:15.120 I'm not sure that the other people have quite caught on yet that it was a joke.
00:09:19.400 But here was my tweet.
00:09:21.700 I said, watching Antifa fuck up the Black Lives Movement, I'm sorry, the Black Lives Matter protests, makes me think Black Lives Matter has a point about white people.
00:09:33.980 Now, if you can't tell that's a joke, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:09:43.440 I mean, really?
00:09:44.300 Now, the reason that it's funny at all is because there's some truth to it.
00:09:50.780 But, of course, like all jokes, it acts like something with a little bit of truth is some kind of universal truth, which, of course, it's not.
00:09:58.100 But that's what makes it a joke, is that your brain is trying to reconcile that it's a little bit true, but it's not really sort of generally true.
00:10:08.500 So, you know, you have to wrestle with it a little bit.
00:10:10.580 That's what makes it funny.
00:10:11.700 That's what triggers the laugh reflex, that it almost makes sense, but doesn't.
00:10:17.540 So, remember, that's the whole point of a joke, is that it almost makes sense, but it doesn't.
00:10:24.120 So, it is true that Antifa is messing up what should have been a very clean and effective Black Lives Matter message because that video made it very possible for Black Lives Matter to really gain a lot in terms of, you know, empathy and understanding, political clout, maybe get some things changed,
00:10:52.240 maybe get some movement, maybe make a difference.
00:10:55.600 There were all these things that could have easily come out of this.
00:11:02.060 And I think Antifa is the one breaking the windows, right?
00:11:06.820 Now, I've seen a few videos of Black Lives Matter activists yelling at these white Antifa people who are breaking up, you know, they're messing up property.
00:11:16.260 And Black Lives Matter, at least the ones on these specific videos, you know, it's not like it's capturing everybody's opinion.
00:11:24.460 These are just some individual videos.
00:11:26.780 But anecdotally, there are enough Black Lives Matter activists who are saying, that's not why we're here.
00:11:33.780 We're not here to be looting on camera.
00:11:36.400 That's working against your program.
00:11:40.160 So, because Antifa has somehow, somehow Antifa has sold Black Lives Matter on the idea that they're on the same team.
00:11:54.780 But maybe I don't understand these two organizations well enough, and you can correct me on this.
00:12:02.540 So, fact check me on this.
00:12:03.900 Would you not say it's true that Black Lives Matter would like to build something?
00:12:11.020 In other words, they'd like to build businesses for the black community.
00:12:15.440 They'd like to build some economic security.
00:12:18.460 They'd like to build better opportunity, build a better life.
00:12:21.880 They'd like to build something.
00:12:24.040 Specifically, right?
00:12:25.820 I don't see Black Lives Matter saying we want to make somebody else less happy.
00:12:31.160 I think they want to build something.
00:12:33.900 For a group, they've got some friction, you know, in terms of, you know, how society is organized.
00:12:40.840 That's their view.
00:12:42.440 And so they're trying to fix that.
00:12:45.060 All good.
00:12:46.500 Not only is that all good, but everybody on the right, and you'd think everybody on the left, would be in favor of that.
00:12:55.260 Why is that not a good thing?
00:12:56.660 Certainly the right is in favor of it.
00:12:58.140 There's nobody on the political right who is not all for the black community building something.
00:13:07.520 You know, building something even more than ever before.
00:13:10.500 All in favor.
00:13:12.140 It's completely genuine when the president brags about bringing down black unemployment.
00:13:18.020 That's completely real, and I'm not sure that anybody knows that there's a genuine pride in helping everybody do better.
00:13:26.300 So you've got that, but then Antifa comes in, and they mess up that clean message, because the message was so clean this time, because of the video.
00:13:40.080 Well, maybe not as clean, because there's a new video.
00:13:43.000 We'll talk about that in a minute.
00:13:44.020 But for a while there, everybody was on the same team, and the black people were trying to build something.
00:13:51.620 I think everybody else was certainly in favor of that.
00:13:55.120 Nobody was against it.
00:13:56.820 Why would you be against it?
00:13:59.060 And then Antifa comes in, and I'm not sure they're trying to build something, are they?
00:14:03.940 They're literally trying to destroy the lower class to get to the upper class, to destroy them.
00:14:14.060 Am I wrong about that?
00:14:15.600 The Antifa is actually trying to break the entire system, but since they can't sort of directly get to the elite,
00:14:22.760 they're doing it by destroying the foundation, which is the black community, for example.
00:14:28.780 So I'm pretty sure the Antifa is the natural enemy of Black Lives Matter, and I don't know that Black Lives Matter has figured it out.
00:14:39.400 The other thing that's weird, and I mean, it's almost so incredible that it's going to come out of my mouth,
00:14:47.580 and it won't even sound like it's reality, but I'm going to say it anyway.
00:14:52.320 The natural allies of Black Lives Matter are Republicans.
00:14:57.100 They're natural allies.
00:14:59.400 Because the Republicans have a very simple system.
00:15:03.640 I say it all the time.
00:15:05.220 If you follow the Constitution, you're cool with us.
00:15:09.180 You follow the law, you work, try to take care of your family, boom, you're done, you're good.
00:15:15.120 You are 100% everything that Republicans like and respect, and they'll help you get a job.
00:15:23.260 They'll help you succeed, and they'll like it.
00:15:26.840 They'll not only do it, they'll like it.
00:15:29.720 They'll brag about it.
00:15:30.600 They'll tell their friends.
00:15:31.920 They helped you get a job.
00:15:33.080 So, I think there may be some turning point happening, because I think Black Lives Matter is looking at the people they thought were their allies,
00:15:45.700 but where the black community is trying to build something.
00:15:49.420 These supposed allies and Antifa are literally trying to destroy those very things, the exact things that other people want to build.
00:15:59.760 Because that's how they get the whole system to crumble.
00:16:02.980 I think, unless I'm misunderstanding everybody's objective, I think that I'm saying that accurately.
00:16:10.300 So, there may be this weird turning point where, here's what it would take.
00:16:18.300 If President Trump said tomorrow, look, tell me what needs to be done.
00:16:25.640 Give me some ideas about this police killing people situation.
00:16:32.760 Just give me some ideas.
00:16:34.020 And then see what the federal government could do.
00:16:37.660 Maybe nothing.
00:16:39.160 Maybe something.
00:16:40.680 So, if the President just said, you know, let me see how I can wade in to be helpful, but you have to be specific.
00:16:47.240 Tell me what I could do.
00:16:48.740 Is it funding more police body cams?
00:16:52.500 Because maybe I could do that.
00:16:53.840 So, the President has this gigantic opening to be the adult in the room and the one who says,
00:17:04.940 you know, there's only one person listening to Black Lives Matter right now, and it's me.
00:17:09.480 And here's what I can do for you.
00:17:11.060 Is anybody else offering?
00:17:13.640 Because, you know, the black community is saying as clearly as possible,
00:17:17.980 you can even hear it from Charlemagne the God, saying it as clearly as possible that they're going to go where the deal is best.
00:17:31.180 I mean, they basically have declared free agency.
00:17:34.680 They've declared free agency.
00:17:36.940 They've actually said, we would be willing to trade parties if you could make us an offer that sounds good.
00:17:45.000 And I would think that the President could do exactly that.
00:17:47.980 He could make an offer that sounds good.
00:17:50.880 So, you may have this weird situation where these protests are going to turn into the black community saying,
00:17:58.380 what's the most pragmatic thing we could do?
00:18:01.600 You know, if you just want to be practical and actually just make results,
00:18:05.620 the most practical thing you could do is pair with the Republicans.
00:18:10.100 That's it.
00:18:10.920 Pair with the Republicans.
00:18:11.780 The Democratic Party, in terms of being sort of a victim party, is no longer, I don't think it's an optimum place for the black voters.
00:18:23.240 Because if victim class is what the Democrats are all about, the trouble is that they have two categories ahead of you if you're black.
00:18:34.840 Because there are more women than there are black people, just in general, demographically.
00:18:40.020 So, because women are also sort of a victim class, they're always going to be a little bit ahead of any other class,
00:18:48.300 just because it's the greatest number of people.
00:18:51.660 And then behind them, it seems like, just because of the trend of politics, etc.,
00:18:57.280 it seems like the, you know, the Hispanic vote is more important to the Democrats, for the future anyway, than the black vote.
00:19:06.120 So, if you're a black Democrat, your rank just got knocked down to third place.
00:19:15.320 If you join the Republicans, it's a 60 million tie for first place.
00:19:22.740 Because the Republican point of view is, American? Yes?
00:19:29.820 It's a tie.
00:19:32.660 It's a tie. You and I are exactly equal.
00:19:38.020 So, that's sort of the Republican point of view.
00:19:40.420 It's a lot easier to play by the rules on the right, and the people would be more helpful, I think.
00:19:45.900 As opposed to trying to destroy your black-owned business with a Molotov cocktail, which I would call not helpful.
00:19:55.680 Maybe there will be a realization to that.
00:20:01.800 Yeah, so.
00:20:03.880 What else we got going on here?
00:20:05.500 I told you that we would eventually see that missing video of George Floyd's tragic ending few minutes.
00:20:18.920 Because, remember, we, weirdly, we had a video early on in the arrest sequence,
00:20:25.580 and we had a video of his final minutes,
00:20:29.460 but that whole thing in between was missing.
00:20:33.800 And what did I tell you?
00:20:36.160 I told you that somebody didn't want you to see it.
00:20:40.820 And now we've seen some of it.
00:20:45.460 But I think there's still some missing.
00:20:48.260 So, the part we've seen is a little bit too cleverly ambiguous.
00:20:55.520 So, let me say this.
00:20:57.140 You know that video lies, right?
00:20:59.320 If you just edit out a little bit of video, you can completely reverse what is seen.
00:21:05.940 We saw it with the Covington Kids situation.
00:21:08.680 You've seen it with enough situations.
00:21:10.340 You know that as a general truth, if video is edited even a little bit, it can completely reverse what you saw.
00:21:18.940 We have not yet seen the full video of the stop from beginning through death.
00:21:27.100 There's still a piece missing.
00:21:29.520 And here's what's really sketchy about the piece we're seeing.
00:21:34.200 It seems to start when there's something happening inside the cop car.
00:21:39.720 You can see cops from both sides.
00:21:42.240 And based on their feet, you can see that there's something like a struggle going on inside the back seat of the cop car.
00:21:48.660 And that it looks like that there must be some kind of a physical struggle with George Floyd.
00:21:56.840 And then you see them exit around the corner, and then they end up by the bumper, but you're looking from the other view.
00:22:03.080 So, you can just tell that that's where they are, but you can't see much happening.
00:22:08.160 So, here's what's still missing.
00:22:11.200 What happened just before the altercation in the cop car?
00:22:18.660 Why is it that we would see this video that it starts exactly when it's ambiguous?
00:22:27.080 Because the tweet that I saw was somebody who imagined that it was a video, and I say imagined because you can't tell.
00:22:36.020 He imagined that what was happening inside the car that you can't see at all.
00:22:40.300 There's no visibility really in the car.
00:22:42.980 But you know there's some kind of altercation going on there because of the legs on the outside.
00:22:46.700 So, one person imagined that that was the police beating up George Floyd, just beating him up.
00:22:54.720 Now, is that possible?
00:22:57.200 Yes.
00:22:58.120 Anything's possible.
00:23:00.960 But, could it be that there was something else going on?
00:23:04.520 Somebody had suggested, I think Ian had suggested,
00:23:07.400 that he had said something about being claustrophobic when he was, you know, toward of his final words there.
00:23:15.320 Now, if he was claustrophobic, there might have been maybe some kind of a panic situation in the back of the car.
00:23:22.760 It could have been misinterpreted as resisting arrest when it might have been more of a panic.
00:23:28.500 Maybe.
00:23:29.600 I'm just saying that we don't know what to rule in or what to rule out.
00:23:33.860 We still have a black hole of, you know, of non-information there.
00:23:39.040 So, I would ask you to be really careful when you see that new video from the new angle
00:23:45.600 because it's missing probably the most important part.
00:23:49.820 And I'm guessing that the most important part, the missing part, somebody doesn't want you to see
00:23:56.340 because it might change your mind about something.
00:24:00.280 Now, it could change your mind in the wrong way, meaning it could be misleading.
00:24:04.120 So, it's possible that somebody doesn't want you to see it because it's misleading.
00:24:09.040 You can't rule that out.
00:24:10.420 That would be a legitimate reason to hold it back.
00:24:12.360 You know, if you thought it was going to cause a race riot and it was misleading,
00:24:18.560 you know, a reasonable person might decide, eh, I'll just hold it back.
00:24:24.380 But another reason to hold it back is that you want to mislead.
00:24:28.580 We don't know.
00:24:29.620 We don't know who has the video and we don't know why they're holding back.
00:24:33.420 We assume that the whole video exists because it would be kind of weird if it doesn't.
00:24:38.780 But there's probably something that happened right before they put him in the car
00:24:43.100 that would suggest where the bad behavior, you know, where the sequence of events started, I guess.
00:24:51.780 And that maybe would give you some greater understanding of the whole situation.
00:24:56.280 That said, there's no excuse for killing the guy once he's down on the ground.
00:25:04.020 So, there's still a lot of questions that need to be answered there.
00:25:08.780 Now, the weirdest thing about these protests is that the whole point of the protest is against the police.
00:25:19.020 At least that's the trigger for it.
00:25:21.860 As I said, Antifa is there for their own reasons and they're not being especially helpful to Black Lives Matter.
00:25:28.080 But given that the trigger for it and at least Black Lives Matter's main issue is the police,
00:25:33.760 the weirdest thing that's coming out of this so far, and fact check me if I'm wrong,
00:25:40.100 are we not seeing the police in lots of different cities being both restrained and really professional
00:25:47.920 and quite effective?
00:25:50.940 Is that what, bike police shooting tear gas?
00:25:54.320 I haven't seen that.
00:25:55.280 But wouldn't you say that they're actually doing a pretty darn good job?
00:26:00.720 So, if the protests were supposed to put pressure on the police,
00:26:04.640 the weird thing that happened is it made all the protesters look like bad people because of the looting.
00:26:10.860 Now, let me say as clearly as I can,
00:26:14.180 the percentage of protesters who were actively looting,
00:26:18.040 I imagine, was pretty small.
00:26:19.540 2% tops.
00:26:22.700 Maybe 2% of the protesters did any looting or defacing property.
00:26:28.080 But the way these things work, it ends up smearing the entire operation.
00:26:33.400 So the protesters are getting their reputation completely smeared by the 2% who were doing the looting and whatnot,
00:26:39.900 throwing bricks.
00:26:40.960 But the police are looking really strong, professional, restrained.
00:26:47.400 I haven't seen anything yet, and there should have been a lot of examples of it,
00:26:53.580 but I haven't seen anything yet that strikes me as, you know, outrageous police behavior.
00:26:59.720 Now, of course, there are a lot of cameras there,
00:27:02.280 so there's a lot of reason to be on your best behavior.
00:27:05.380 But it's a tough situation.
00:27:08.080 Really tough situation.
00:27:10.140 I do not envy the police who are there.
00:27:14.480 And I have to ask you this question.
00:27:16.180 I wonder if things would have been better with none.
00:27:20.180 Because it was the Antifa people breaking windows, I think, which mostly attracts the police.
00:27:27.740 Then once the police are there,
00:27:30.240 Black Lives Matter, who is mostly angry at police,
00:27:34.360 now have a whole new reason to be angry because they're right there,
00:27:38.020 and they're looking threatening.
00:27:38.900 So, it looks like Black Lives Matter is the big loser in this
00:27:44.980 because it accidentally made the police look really professional
00:27:49.560 while making Black Lives look really bad
00:27:52.880 because of these 2% of looters and the Antifa causing trouble.
00:27:59.020 All right.
00:28:02.740 Well, I'm sure there will be examples of police behaving badly as well.
00:28:07.660 But we'll, because there'll be, there are a lot of people involved,
00:28:10.400 so you can't expect everybody to do a good job.
00:28:13.660 Somebody says another umbrella agent was spotted at the White House protests.
00:28:18.080 Yeah, I saw some pictures, who knows how real they are,
00:28:22.800 of people with umbrellas, and they seem to have little wires,
00:28:28.280 you know, the kind that a Secret Service would have to have an earpiece.
00:28:32.800 But I don't even know if those pictures are real.
00:28:35.400 It could have been easily photoshopped or something.
00:28:37.480 The left is breathlessly saying it's not Antifa, it's Proud Boys.
00:28:45.740 Well, good luck with that.
00:28:49.240 I think the number of conspiracy theories that will grow out of this
00:28:54.620 will be just amazing.
00:28:59.160 All right.
00:29:01.120 An FBI guy was hit with a brick.
00:29:03.700 Is that true?
00:29:04.260 Has Black Lives Matter denounced the looting?
00:29:09.520 Well, I'm seeing videos of organizers yelling at the looters quite aggressively.
00:29:17.080 So the only thing we know is that individual Black Lives Matter
00:29:21.280 are very aggressively trying to stop the bad behavior,
00:29:25.640 but there's just so much they can do.
00:29:27.600 It's not like they're armed.
00:29:28.700 How did they get all their black outfits so fast?
00:29:35.820 Well, if you're talking about Antifa,
00:29:37.260 they've had them for a long time.
00:29:45.300 CNN says they don't know who the bad protesters are.
00:29:48.960 There are definitely some people there
00:29:51.000 who are there to cause trouble,
00:29:53.400 and they came in from other places.
00:29:54.980 So I don't know how we'll find all those people
00:29:58.060 who came in from other places.
00:30:03.540 So Kamala was at the White House protest today?
00:30:08.680 God, I wish Biden would just go ahead
00:30:11.280 and name Kamala Harris as his vice president choice
00:30:14.760 because all this waiting is killing me.
00:30:21.220 Yeah, videos are popping up all over Twitter
00:30:23.560 of Black Lives Matter condemning Antifa.
00:30:26.260 I've seen three of them, I think, so far,
00:30:28.820 so I would expect more.
00:30:29.840 Somebody says look up a Michael Malice tweet.
00:30:39.220 I've got to tell you,
00:30:39.960 if you're not watching Michael Malice's Twitter feed this week,
00:30:45.380 you're really missing a show.
00:30:47.120 Every now and then, have you noticed,
00:30:49.580 people are good at tweeting,
00:30:51.200 but they'll just have like a world-class Grammy-winning week.
00:30:55.120 I think Michael Malice is having one of those Grammy-winning tweeting weeks.
00:31:01.300 He had me in stitches with a few tweets already this week.
00:31:04.920 Oh, yes.
00:31:06.560 So I forgot to mention.
00:31:08.700 So, you know, there was that big Lancet article
00:31:12.260 saying that there had been a study
00:31:15.080 showing that hydroxychloroquine was dangerous
00:31:17.580 and it killed more people than it saved.
00:31:20.100 And then the World Health Organization,
00:31:22.280 the very dependable World Health Organization,
00:31:25.120 decided to, you know,
00:31:27.680 stop all the trials everywhere in the world of hydroxychloroquine.
00:31:34.840 Now, it turns out
00:31:36.580 that the Lancet article
00:31:39.820 looks like it's being essentially debunked by Lancet itself.
00:31:44.520 They found a bunch of problems after the fact.
00:31:47.320 So even Lancet is, you know, recanting, basically,
00:31:50.940 and saying there's not enough information to make a determination.
00:31:56.600 So in other words,
00:31:58.400 the study doesn't tell you anything.
00:32:00.480 And now Lancet is saying that.
00:32:01.720 But more interestingly,
00:32:05.460 I just read it.
00:32:06.920 I tweeted this.
00:32:08.600 You should read about how this study was put together.
00:32:12.940 If you think the Steele dossier
00:32:14.920 was a bunch of bullshit,
00:32:17.340 you've got to read how this Lancet,
00:32:19.380 it wasn't,
00:32:20.020 Lancet just was the article was in the Lancet,
00:32:22.240 so it wasn't Lancet's fault.
00:32:24.280 But apparently,
00:32:25.540 all the data
00:32:26.340 came from basically one company
00:32:29.120 that purported that it got the data
00:32:31.820 from all the different hospitals.
00:32:33.820 But everybody smart
00:32:35.200 who knew enough about the situation
00:32:37.080 looked at what they had and said,
00:32:39.420 I don't think you really could do that.
00:32:41.960 Like, it seemed impossible
00:32:43.080 that they would have the data they said they had.
00:32:45.460 And then you dig a little deeper,
00:32:47.200 and it's a company of five people,
00:32:49.380 and you dig a little deeper,
00:32:50.360 but it's really just one guy.
00:32:51.600 I dig a little deeper,
00:32:53.920 and it's one guy
00:32:54.540 that didn't exist before February.
00:32:57.200 It's basically,
00:32:58.040 basically,
00:33:00.180 the entity
00:33:00.840 that came up with the study
00:33:03.280 used a source of data,
00:33:06.160 the source of which
00:33:07.200 is about as credible
00:33:09.700 as a Nigerian prince
00:33:12.520 asking you for money
00:33:13.660 to help him get his fortune
00:33:15.860 out of the banker's hands.
00:33:18.120 It is hilariously non-credible,
00:33:23.560 meaning you read about it,
00:33:25.720 so just look at my Twitter feed
00:33:27.460 if you want to read the details,
00:33:29.220 but a doctor looked into it
00:33:31.380 and found there's just no credibility to it.
00:33:36.780 So,
00:33:37.720 the World Health Organization,
00:33:39.480 once again,
00:33:41.020 did the wrong thing.
00:33:43.460 Now,
00:33:43.820 if you're checking my record
00:33:45.240 against the World Health Organization,
00:33:49.200 I'm up to,
00:33:50.460 what,
00:33:50.980 six and oh?
00:33:52.880 Every time I've disagreed
00:33:54.360 with the World Health Organization,
00:33:55.940 I've been proven correct.
00:33:59.960 I'm not saying I'm a medical expert.
00:34:03.920 I make no such claim.
00:34:06.260 I'm simply pointing out
00:34:07.660 that if you were to compare
00:34:09.080 our track records,
00:34:10.600 I have been far, far superior
00:34:13.180 in medical recommendations
00:34:15.880 than the World Health Organization.
00:34:18.580 Do you know who else
00:34:19.660 has been more accurate
00:34:20.820 than the World Health Organization?
00:34:24.560 Magic 8-Ball.
00:34:27.040 Coin Flip.
00:34:29.200 Monkey with a Dart.
00:34:31.260 Mike Cernovich.
00:34:31.960 I didn't mean to say
00:34:33.780 Mike Cernovich
00:34:34.400 directly after
00:34:35.980 Monkey with a Dart.
00:34:37.600 Simply,
00:34:38.200 these are entities
00:34:39.880 of Kreskin,
00:34:42.360 Trump,
00:34:44.700 basically everybody
00:34:45.660 in the world.
00:34:47.640 That's so funny.
00:34:49.240 The World Health Organization
00:34:50.320 is literally
00:34:51.160 the least credible
00:34:52.780 health organization
00:34:54.460 in the world.
00:34:56.300 What do you call
00:35:00.740 the most irrelevant
00:35:02.020 medical organization?
00:35:06.120 Who?
00:35:07.920 Kind of perfect.
00:35:09.400 It's like the simulation.
00:35:10.660 Just one of them
00:35:11.360 to be called who?
00:35:13.200 Because that's what
00:35:14.000 you call irrelevant things.
00:35:16.000 Hey, did you hear
00:35:16.660 about the irrelevant person?
00:35:18.740 Who?
00:35:19.860 Of course not.
00:35:21.280 Nobody's heard
00:35:21.880 of irrelevant things.
00:35:23.040 Who?
00:35:23.260 All right, well,
00:35:25.580 I think I
00:35:25.980 beat that horse.
00:35:28.460 All right, that's all
00:35:29.140 for now.
00:35:30.520 I will talk to you
00:35:31.680 in the morning.
00:35:33.920 You know where.
