other day of a climate debate. It was a debate between Michael Mann, who's author of the famous hockey stick graph that shows temperatures going up steeply with CO2, and Judith Curry was there on the other side. And there were two other people, one on each side. And because I had said that I've never seen a debate with the skeptics and the climate alarmists in the same place, somebody pointed me t…

So anyway, I'm not so afraid of the Bill Gates test. Well, the thing is, funding, because I'm sure that if it's just the same chemistry that a volcano puts in the air, there's lots of it here already. They can test it small. What's the main thing I tell you? If you can test something small you don't have to ask if it's a good idea. This apparently can be tested small, so they are. That's exactly the way you'd want to do it.
This is one of the reasons I think Bill Gates is one of the most important characters in the history of the planet, not just for Microsoft but because he's bringing a logical, scientific kind of a mindset to charity and to fixing these big problems. And it's good stuff.
Let's talk about Flynn. All right, this whole Flynn trial stuff is the sketchiest looking situation you've ever seen in your life. And the entire conversation uses the word "but" a lot and goes like this: General Flynn is a patriot who served the country for 30 years, but he may have lied to the FBI. But he may not have known he lied. But if he did lie we don't know why he would do it. But that's not really the big problem because the larger crime seemed to be this, you know, foreign agent registration thing that he was working for Turkey, the government of Turkey, prior to the election but right up to it.
So that's bad, right? But Turkey is actually a NATO ally. But he should have told somebody. But the guy he was advocating about probably wasn't anybody who was our friend either. But he shouldn't have been doing it. But it was legal. Yes, but if it was illegal had he registered, why didn't they charge him with that?
And so the whole story is all of these buts. Like, well, but it's terrible, but... And then you've got the judge. The judge is apparently... Now you normally wouldn't say that about a judge because you'd say, well, maybe he knows something I don't know. But it's pretty clear that this judge was not prepared for this case. He didn't even know that Flynn had stopped advocating on behalf of Turkey by election time.
So the most critical point in that whole situation caused the judge to call a defendant possibly treasonous or a traitor to the country in public on incorrect facts. Now how in the world do you not get that judge kicked off the case? Isn't that lawyer 101? If your judge has accused your client incorrectly of a major traitorous behavior, you have to get rid of that judge, don't you?
And then what's up with the three-month delay? Who

needed three months to do what? Can you tell me there's any good reason for a three-month delay? What we needed was a one-week delay to get a new judge because that judge does not have what it takes. Now as Mike Cernovich, I'm sure accurately, pointed out on Twitter, I'm watching the news and all the lawyers and everything and they act like they're surprised about why it is that Flynn may have pl…
