00:00I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it.
00:04Every one of these doctors said, how do you know so much about this?
00:07Maybe I have a natural ability.
00:13These are the people, the best, the smartest, the most brilliant anywhere.
00:17And they've come up with the AIDS vaccine.
00:22They've come up with, or the AIDS.
00:25Can you explain, sir, though, what is the evidence that it has a preventative effect?
00:30Here we go. You ready?
00:31Here's my evidence. I get a lot of positive calls about it.
00:35Well, I never spoke to a scientist, but I will tell you this.
00:38I did speak with the president of Honduras just a little while ago.
00:42And I didn't bring it up. He brought it up.
00:45He said they use the hydroxychloroquine.
00:48And he said the results are so incredible.
00:51And he said the results are so incredible with hydroxychloroquine.
01:04This is what it's about. Right?
01:07Does it remind you of something? Reminds you of this, right?
01:13One's a swab, one's a Q-tip.
01:15It's actually different. It's very sophisticated, actually.
01:20To fight the medical war, we've mobilized the unbeatable, and it is unbeatable,
01:26strength of American determination, ingenuity, and compassion.
01:30I got to see that when I spoke to the great science,
01:34because I call them science companies more than drug companies.
01:37They're scientists.
01:39In 2014, when the Ebola situation was very concerning to so many Americans,
01:43you tweeted, Ebola patient will be brought to the U.S. in a few days.
01:47Now I know for sure that our leaders are incompetent.
01:50In all caps, you wrote, keep them out of here.
01:53More than 20 Americans have now been brought back to the United States with coronavirus.
01:57By your own measure, does that mean that your government has been incompetent?
02:01Are you pleased with the response?
02:03There's a big difference, in case you don't know, between Ebola and coronavirus.
02:06At that time, nobody had ever even heard of Ebola or ever conceived of something
02:11where you basically, people would disintegrate.
02:17The level of death with Ebola, you know, at the time, it was a virtual 100%.
02:37If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations,
02:41your house just went down 75% in value.
02:45And they say the noise causes cancer.
02:52When the wind stops blowing, that's the end of your electric.
02:56Let's hurry, darling.
02:58Darling, is the wind blowing today? I'd like to watch television, darling.
03:04They took away our light bulb.
03:15I want an incandescent light, and it's much safer.
03:19Because when those other bulbs break, they really are dangerous.
03:23The gases come out, they're dangerous.
03:34If we ignore that science and sort of put our head in the sand
03:48and think it's all about vegetation management,
03:50we're not going to succeed together protecting Californians.
03:53Okay, it'll start getting cooler.
03:56You just watch.
03:58I wish science agreed with you.
04:00Well, I don't think science knows, actually.
