here on this. Would you like me to gamble in front of you? All right, here's my statement. Election fraud, because of the nature of our election systems and what we've learned about the at least the potential for fraud and what we've learned about the hatred for Orange Hitler, given that setup, there's a guarantee of widespread fraud. It's guaranteed. It can't not happen. So there's a direct state…

n? Yeah, so those are the ones that do work. So ivermectin, he says there have been recent studies that even though you can't get to certainty, like we don't have enough time and data to really, really, really, really know, but he says that there's so much and it's so much in the same direction that it's sort of a no-brainer that it works, according to this doctor.

Now here's the tough part. And he says directly that even if you had looked into this in August of this year, in August of this year when science was looking into it, they looked at ivermectin and they decided that it was not quite right. One of the problems was that it would only work at a dose too high for your body to handle it. So it might work in theory but you couldn't put that much of it in your body without hurting yourself. So that's what we thought in August. So here's the problem. Once you know something is true it's really hard to change your mind. It's hard for the public, the news, to wrap its head around that August was a million years ago. So apparently what we've learned from August where the evidence was suggesting you shouldn't try it to now is a whole bunch of news, like a whole bunch of data that is all positive, just all positive according to this doctor. So according to this doctor, and I'm not making this claim, I'll just report what he said, this is so effective that it effectively ends the pandemic. So there's a real live doctor with real qualifications. Doesn't mean he's right. We can all be subject to confirmation bias. Doesn't matter how qualified you are, you can still be subject to confirmation bias. But here's a guy I'm not going to ignore. I'm not going to ignore this guy. I really, really want to know if this works. And since it's widely available we could be 30 days away from being done with this if he's right. So now the history of this kind of thing being right is very low, right? Most of the time these turn out to be dead ends. But it makes me feel good to talk about them.

You also, the story of the Michigan representative who threatened Trump supporters in a video. Let me read to you what a Michigan, I guess her name was Cynthia Johnson, Michigan representative said. This quote, so this is just a warning to you Trumpers. Be careful. Walk lightly. We ain't playing with you. Michigan State Representative Johnson said in the video. And then she went on, enough of the shenanigans. Enough is enough. And for those of you who are soldiers, you know how to do it. Do it right. Be in order. Make them pay. So she was actually calling for people with training and violence, soldiers, to make Trump supporters pay in this country. She was literally a government employee recommending violence against citizens in this country. Now the politicians in her state acted quickly. The speaker of the house immediately stripped Representative Johnson of all of her committee duties. That's not enough. No, no, that's not enough. Let me tell you how not enough that is. She needs to lose her job right away. Right away. You need to change the locks on her place. Like even if you can't get rid of her with some system, you know if the system doesn't allow quickly to get rid of her, change the locks. Change the locks because she doesn't get to go to work anymore after this. All right, so I don't know what can happen to her, but losing your committee assignments isn't really close to wh

at needs to happen. We're not in the same galaxy with that, just to be clear. Now here, let me tell you what the big story is to me. The big story is not that there was this one person who said this one thing, because we live in a big world of crazy people. There's always going to be somebody saying crazy things you don't like. Here's the part that just is chilling. She lives in a world, meaning…
