d here's the thing that you have to be bothered by. When you watch Fox News the person reading the news is obviously a news person and the people doing the opinion stuff are obviously opinion people and you really don't get them confused, right? Nobody thinks Hannity is a hard news guy. He's an opinion guy. Tucker Carlson, same thing. But CNN likes to have that a little bit more gray. So here's Ji…
← Previous segment →o. Okay well that's what I learned today. I don't know if I got that right but look how much smarter you are.
And let's talk teachers unions, how we can break them and solve systemic racism. Well I'll tell you if somebody wanted to run against Trump, a Republican, and they ran on trying to bring in Black voters to solve systemic racism via the school system, they could win I think. I think a Republican could beat Trump in the primaries by saying I'm going to intentionally try to find where Republicans and the Black population have the same interest. Mandates is one. Mandates and the same interest in reducing systemic racism via the school system. Same. Just run on that. Just run on the stuff you agree on and you would beat Trump in the primaries.
You should read Brave New World. It's dystopia created by trying to make everyone safe and happy. Yeah I mean if his writing was better I'd read it or if it wasn't so sad I'd read it I guess. Yeah I don't read depressing books. That is correct.
How did I get the black nail? This was a tragic — this was a little black dude — a tragic accident involving a window. No I didn't close my fingers in a window. It was more indirect than that but let's just say window is involved and keep it there.
Well I think Trump is running against mandates but he's not full-throated on it all right. Yes let's go Brandon.
I tried to read 1984 but it was too sad and terrible and I bailed out. Jill says that she's sure ivermectin does work. Jill you know you don't know that right? Because it can't be known. We don't have data that says it works. If you know some anecdotes, if somebody got better in two days that's most of the people who get COVID. Most people just get better right away. So there should be lots of stories of people who ate a cookie and within 24 hours their COVID had subsided. How many people let's say stubbed their toe and within 24 hours their COVID was totally under control? A lot. How many people took hydroxychloroquine and within 24 hours their COVID was all fine? Lots, millions probably. How many people ate a peanut and within 24 hours their COVID was all better? Millions. How many people had a bowl of rice and within 24 hours their COVID was all cleared up? A billion, I don't know, 100 million maybe.
So I don't care how many people you know who took a drug and it cleared up within 24 hours. It means exactly zero. The exception would be the monoclonals I think. The monoclonal antibodies. I've heard people just feel it. You can actually feel yourself getting better while you're taking it so I think that's a different case. Yeah. How many people took ivermectin and their problems did not clear up in 24 hours? We don't know. Yeah and none of those in vitro studies means anything at all.
It was somebody says it worked for Joe Rogan. Can I see in the comments how many people think this is a true statement: ivermectin worked for Joe Rogan. How many t

hink that's a true statement? Well one that you can confirm is true. Yeah unknown is the correct answer but just look at the comments. Yeah no we don't know which of the many things that Joe Rogan did made a difference. We don't know if any of it made a difference on one person. I mean look at Joe Rogan. Doesn't he look healthy? He looks like he could beat COVID without drugs now. It would be sill…
