There's a lot to talk about. We've been talking about immigration and the excesses, and Caleb has been throwing up some of your ex-posts about the Venezuelan gangs and the insanity of all this. But before we go into that, I wonder if you could give me a little primer. on the HHS document about the excesses of the COVID response.
And what you learned, what your overview was, and if you wouldn't mind, why it isn't being screamed from every hilltop of the press? Why aren't they interested in this very important document?
So what do we do with this? No, I do too. And you uncovered, I mean, you formalized findings that any of us paying attention who were clinicians knew you would find. It just is the truth. It just happens to be a matter of fact. And guys like Scott Atlas, who was in the room with the bureaucrats and was told to stand aside because the data he had begged no issue.
And guys like Jay Bhattacharya, who decorated hopefully the head of the NIH sometime soon. A decorated professional was subjected to a devastating takedown, to quote Francis Collins. And we have Francis Collins now on the record saying, well, we were just focused on one thing, which is the opposite of medicine. Medicine is... Risk reward for every decision you make. Do no harm.
Public health ran amok. It was disgusting. And so my question is, given that you have formalized the findings, what do we do with it? How do we make sure this doesn't happen again?
certainly should be at least vaguely aware of what we're handing to an enemy, it seems to me, humbly. And as you mentioned, you're not a doctor, I'm not a lawyer, but you're a lawyer. And so I'm wondering if this doesn't reach a level of gross negligence that suggests a legal liability to it.
So I would say- Of course, of course.
And I just want to frame it, if you don't mind. I was watching the Martha Stewart Netflix documentary yesterday, and she was put in prison for saying, I don't remember. I don't remember. Nobody was hurt. Nothing happened. She sold a stock. She went to prison. I don't remember. Excuse me, but I think we have something a little more serious going on here. It's so gross when you put it in that frame.
It's just like, you've got to be kidding me.
Yeah, look, if I was running a hospital ward or something or running a program where something about my supervision rose to a level of absolute, I mean, way outside of the standard of care, was negligent, yeah, there's liabilities. I want to share with that always, always, always.
So, again, I hope as this evolves, you'll keep us posted and let us continue to push out the information or help you if there's any way we can. Is there anything you'd like? We've got a lot of people on X listening today. Is there anything you want people to know about this report or that you'd like them to do in response to it?
Look, Redfield has been actively following on his sword. He's been doing a good job on talking about where he went wrong and correcting course.
A little bit. We've been following that. We've been on their tail a bit too. So I want to talk about the border a little bit too before I let you go. But before we switch topics, did you figure out why the military took over and the national security took over so much of the decision-making from the original infectious disease pandemic preparedness plan? Yeah.
Yeah, it was nutty. Yeah, crazy. Well, the only thing that comes close to an explanation that would make sense for me is somebody in the military or the security apparatus believed that this was a bioweapons attack with unpredictable consequences, like beyond the immediate term, sort of AIDS-like problems downstream. And
They were scared of what the potential of this thing was, or they learned somewhere some intelligence told them that this thing could be far more awful than they imagined, even given what we knew about the age specificity and the risk. So that's the only thing that would make sense to me. But everything else is egregious. Everything else is truly... negligence and incompetence.
But okay, so who am I to say? Let's talk about the border, speaking of negligence and incompetence. You've been concerned about, or at least putting up ex-posts about the Venezuelan gangs and the effects on safety of the American people. And God knows there are layers and layers and layers to these excesses.
I was talking to Ali in the previous interview about how disingenuine and sort of disgusting it is to go, but we're a country of immigrants. Yes, of course. Of course we want immigration. We don't want a just let it rip border. We want to have a rational... We want to have a country. To have a country, you must have a border and an immigration policy. And lots of immigrants, absolutely.
But where are you with that whole mess?
Yeah, it makes perfect sense. And it's the way we've always done it. It's the way, I don't know, we have decided that, you know, it's like the famous words about markets. This time it will be different. Now we understand how humans work. Now we understand what the right thing to do is. And those are the scariest words of humans.
Not to step on Reagan's, I'm from the federal government, I'm here to help you being the scariest words. For me these days, the scariest words are, now we've figured it out. Now we know what's right, good for humans. Finally, finally, we figured it out.
