Context —

ount of industrial stuff happened by people. Humans put off heat. Well maybe you mean the human causation part. I don't know what you're debunking there but let me go on. So it puts the believers in climate science in kind of a bind because if this study is right it means that everything that they thought about climate change, at least the modeling part of it, just the modeling part, was wrong. B…

hen rape them and don't expect them to kill the person who raped them. That's not fair either. Don't train them to kill or let them kill because some people are worth killing.

All right, that's not a serious point but it could be. Lauren Boebert — is it Boebert or Bobert? She's got a bert at the end of her name so I'm automatically — I like her because of Dilbert, Dogbert, Boebert anyway. So she's on film telling an Ilhan Omar story that Ilhan Omar says never happened. But the story as Lauren says is that Ilhan Omar who as you know would be in traditional Islamic garb according to this story which Omar says never happened — Omar was getting in an elevator and Lauren Boebert saw the security all worried about a threat and running toward the elevator and didn't get there in time. And then Boebert allegedly said — but we think maybe it didn't really happen — that she said don't worry she doesn't have a backpack, meaning that she's not an Islamic terrorist bomber.

And people are saying this is a horrible, horrible, horrible. And I would agree that it was probably dumb for her to tell this joke so I'm not going to defend the joke. But I would just put this one little question to it. Was it a joke about Ilhan Omar or was it a joke about the security guard? I'm not so sure, right? Because the joke was sort of about the security guard being a bigot and imagining that she was a terrorist. It wasn't about Lauren Boebert imagining she was a terrorist. And her joke, she didn't have a backpack so you're okay. It doesn't sound like she believed that she was a terrorist. Obviously she doesn't. It's kind of one of these weird ones. If somebody says a joke at the expense of the person like Omar, well that would feel a little racist depending on the joke of course. But if the joke is about how someone else was racist against them I'm not sure I'd take that the same way. Just put that scalpel down. Am I cutting it too finely? Well it's my job. Jokes are my job. I do look at them kind of analytically.

All right, I have an algorithm for you and I know this will be helpful. A way to determine which graphs you see on Twitter about ivermectin solving a country's problem to tell which ones are true because we've seen the graph. I've seen a graph that said as soon as ivermectin was introduced COVID in Japan went to nothing. And some other places as soon as ivermectin was introduce

d went to nothing. Do you know how to tell which of those stories are fake and which are not? The answer is all of them are fake. Yeah, every one of the country graphs that says ivermectin was introduced — doesn't matter if it's India — they're all fake. They've all been debunked. Now did you just hear me say that I debunked the effectiveness of ivermectin? Did I say that? Did I just tell you tha…
