take me out of context later. I doubt there was a good reason to shoot this man, meaning a situation was created that probably didn't need to get created. So I'm not forgiving anybody. I would say however it is not evidence that these two people who did the alleged crime were white supremacists. I don't think that's evidence. And if they were white supremacists, which I haven't seen any evidence o…

You know what would be more of a crime than that? Would a terrorist act be more of a crime than that? I don't know. It's a pretty big crime. Feels like the biggest crime I've ever seen. Maybe that's not actually violent. So I just put that out there.
Hey, if there's any companies that are looking for KN95 masks and some other protective equipment and you're lost in the wilderness of all these pirate and scam organizations who are trying to sell you things and not delivering, check my Twitter feed for tweet by Tom Sauer, S-A-U-E-R, who has located a number of supplies that he can deliver. So if you're a corporation and you want to let's say get some KN95 masks for your staff, you could buy them in big bunches from him. I'm only mentioning him because there are so many frauds out there. And since Tom is well known, at least conservative Twitter knows Tom well. A lot of you who are watching this follow him on Twitter. So he's a real person doing a real thing, military, ex-military. So I feel you could trust him to be straight on the transaction, which is the hardest thing to trust right now.
All right. I watched the "Plandemic" video because so many of you asked me to. Now if you don't know what that is, there's a video going around that it looks like an interview that might be a setup or publicity for something that's a full-length movie that I haven't seen. So I watched the interview part, not the movie. And "Plandemic," I guess is the movie. And here's my bottom line on the video. It looks, it's mostly as far as I can tell, this is just my initial opinion, it looks like conspiracy theory to me. All right? But it does look like a number of the facts in it are probably true, almost certainly true. So I'm not saying the facts are all untrue. But there's a way that they're tied together and some assumptions and some mind reading that turns it into a bigger conspiracy.
The net of it is it looks like this: that Fauci is actually some kind of a bad guy and that he is associated with an organization that they've funded the Wuhan lab. And a year or more ago he warned that there would definitely be a coronavirus. And how did he know? And by the way he's got some patents for some vaccines or something and there's patents on things he might profit from them if he can get you know his vaccine or his company with a therapeutic to do it. So there's this whole thing that Fauci, I don't know, somehow he might have been behind the virus. And so that's the conspiracy crazy parts.
The less crazy part about that is that the pharmaceutical industry could be corrupting things and lying and trying to make four trillion dollars. So there's, I did not find any credibility in the person who was interviewed, the principal character there. I would say that she had every, let's see, based on experience I'm going to say that people who look and act like her in my experience have some issues that go beyond the facts of this situation. So I didn't find her credible.
But in the same breath here's something else I didn't find credible at one point: that the FBI tried to overthrow the government of the United States. When I first heard that I just thought, come on people, is there anything you won't believe? Yeah, the FBI tried to overthrow the government, you bunch of ignorant... What? We have documents. We have memos. We've got handwritten notes. It's all true apparently. It's all true. It's all true.
Now the part I doubted early on primarily was the level of coordination. You know, was it like a ringleader and everybody was sort of working for the ringleader? Because that's the way it was sort of portrayed in the beginning. I don't see evidence of that yet. I do see evidence that lots of people have the same motive and thoughts and maybe they acted in a way that any one of them would have acted if they'd been in that situation. But it's a little different than an organized plot. But not by much, because it's not like they didn't all know each other, have the same goals, probably talk to each other. You know, people signed off on the same stuff. So you can't rule out the fact that it was kind of organized. I'm just saying that that's not in evidence based on the documents.
So I didn't believe that because that seemed just way too wild. I mean just way beyond the pale of likelihood. But turns out it's true. Turns out it's true. So are the claims made in the "Plandemic" video and interview, are they true? Doe

sn't look like it to me. You know if I had to put my own money on it I'd say there are two facts in there but the way you've woven it together, no that's just misleading. That's what I'd bet on. But I also would have bet the FBI was not trying to remove a legally elected president. I would have been wrong about that. So I like to remind you when I'm right, but it's also just as useful to remind yo…
