istent on that. Yes, Rudy was specifically and intentionally using persuasion that you could of course call propaganda, of course. And it was clear, obvious, he wasn't hiding it. And do you know what Rudy is? He's something called an advocate. Do you know what the job of an advocate is? Advocating. It's advocating. Yeah. His job is to persuade you. If you want to call that propaganda, I'm okay wit…

So he's said basically what he said is he's not leaving the White House which was how it will be interpreted because you can't really prove a negative. So he's created a situation where the news will have to talk about his allegation that there's all this fraud and they hate talking about that. They hate talking about it because if you just talk about the election fraud enough, it becomes true.
So here's, I don't know if he's thinking of it this way, so I won't assume there's intention in this, but this is the way it's going to work out. If you simply make the mainstream media talk about election fraud, even if they're denying it, it didn't happen. It didn't happen. Election fraud didn't happen. Didn't happen. Election fraud. What happens to your brain? Your brain says, "I heard a lot about election fraud." And even if every single thing you heard was also debunked, that's not how your brain is going to process it.
If Trump can simply make the news do the thing they don't want to do, which is talk about the election fraud allegations, even if they debunk them, he wins. And this is so provocative they have to talk about it because they're going to have to talk about it in the context of I think he just said he's not going to leave. But that's, you know, he's a little more clever than that. He's forcing them to be anchored to that tweet so they will sell his message simply by repeating election fraud, election fraud more times than they wanted to. So I don't know. That may be one of his finest tweets in terms of strategy.
All right, that's all for now. I'll talk to you tomorrow. All right, Periscope is off. Anything you YouTubers want to ask me while you got another minute here?
I see there is somebody says that there's a new study showing that hydroxychloroquine with zinc and azithromycin works really really well in reducing hospital visits. Do you know what's missing in that story? What is missing in that story about the study that says hydroxychloroquine works really well? Well, here's what's missing. One of the authors is Zelenko the original hydroxychloroquine doctor and the study itself is a retrospective. Now can you trust a retrospective study? No you can't.
So it's a retrospective study. Basically they're saying all right we're not going to study it. We're

going to look at what happened in the past and see if we can figure out just by looking at some data from history whether we can judge that it works or not. That is not the same level of credibility as a randomized controlled study. So if you've got a randomized control study that would have to use those same chemicals and have to administer them in a similar way, not waiting until too late. If yo…
