=== Why Masks Fail (03:41) ===

[00:00:00]  The layman can understand it.
[00:00:00]  I'm a doctor.
[00:00:02]  The layman can understand the study, and I would encourage the readers to read it.
[00:00:05]  I think it's worth reading because he, number one, establishes that masks are ineffective.
[00:00:11]  In a medical rigorous study, that they are ineffective.
[00:00:14]  Even medical masks, even N95s, even properly warned that this virus is simply molecularly too small.
[00:00:22]  Like masks.
[00:00:23]  And by the way, we know just intuitively that that makes sense because when we look at places in the country, Where masking is basically universal.
[00:00:31]  Places like California, like my hometown of Chicago, like New York City, we still know that the virus has spread like crazy.
[00:00:37]  And in some cases, actually has spread quite a bit more in the places that are the most significantly restricted and locked, compared to places where there is very little masking.
[00:00:45]  So I think, you know, we just intuitively, from a common sense perspective, realize that the masks have not worked.
[00:00:50]  But this is a scientific study, again, posted on the NIH website.
[00:00:55]  That is the link I provided.
[00:00:56]  I quoted from the actual study about the inefficacy of masks.
[00:01:00]  I added just one line of my own commentary, dehumanizing and ineffective.
[00:01:05]  And for that, Twitter took it down, took my account down.
[00:01:09]  I'm now restored and back on.
[00:01:11]  But I'll tell you what, I'm not going to stop talking about it, so I'm sure it's not long before I will stand entirely from Twitter.
[00:01:19]  The fact that it is a government-published study doesn't even matter.
[00:01:24]  Mm-hmm.
[00:01:25]  Yeah.
[00:01:27]  And they took you down, not just that tweet.
[00:01:31]  Correct.
[00:01:32]  Correct.
[00:01:33]  I could not access Twitter at all.
[00:01:34]  Not only could I not post, I didn't realize that's how that worked.
[00:01:37]  I hadn't been put...
[00:01:38]  Oh, you couldn't even...
[00:01:38]  Oh, my God, I couldn't access other...
[00:01:41]  I couldn't get to Twitter.
[00:01:42]  And you know what I... Which, you know, shame on me, and I'm fixing this now in my own life, is...
[00:01:46]  I realize how much I depend on Twitter just for my political news and my knowledge, you know, and to do broadcasting, right?
[00:01:52]  And it really was a hamstring to not have that.
[00:01:56]  And I've got to fix that because I don't want to be dependent on it and because, in all likelihood, I anticipate I will get banned permanently.
[00:02:03]  It's sort of a system, so now I've got a big strike.
[00:02:06]  And I'm not going to stop talking about it.
[00:02:07]  I'm not going to be intimidated.
[00:02:09]  To your point, too, about children, you know, as a father, this drove me crazy.
[00:02:16]  A very abbreviated basketball season because Governor Pritzker in Illinois, one of the worst governors in America, forbade sports for almost all of the school year.
[00:02:26]  We're really having dropouts here.
[00:02:28]  So we were able to play basketball, thank goodness.
[00:02:31]  My son loves hoops and I love watching and coached him for years.
[00:02:33]  But you know what?
[00:02:35]  These poor children, they had to wear masks in basketball on the court, Dennis.
[00:02:39]  You know how high-intensity cardiovascular...
[00:02:42]  We can only pray.
[00:02:46]  That at some point in the future, this generation will be regarded as bizarre and irrational as those who believed in witches.
[00:02:57]  And I agree with you.
[00:02:58]  I think it is abusive.
[00:02:59]  Not only is it just...
[00:03:00]  It's not a mistake.
[00:03:01]  No, it's abusive.
[00:03:02]  What, two-year-olds on airplanes?
[00:03:03]  Two-year-olds?
[00:03:05]  These people are sick.
[00:03:08]  Because statistically, again, let's rely on the data, right?
[00:03:10]  These people claim to be the party of science, the people who are locking us down and who are forcing children to...
[00:03:17]  The science tells us that for children, the regular seasonal flu is far more dangerous than is COVID-19.
[00:03:24]  And we have never required that children play basketball with masks on to prevent the flu.

=== Wasted On Radio (00:46) ===

[00:03:32]  Because it would be a ridiculous risk-reward calculation, right?
[00:03:35]  It would be absurd.
[00:03:36]  And all of life, to some extent, is a risk-reward calculation, right?
[00:03:39]  That we all make every single day.
[00:03:41]  Not to some extent.
[00:03:42]  It's exactly what it is.
[00:03:44]  What is the price is the only intelligent question.
[00:03:48]  All right, listen, you let me know when you start your TV thing and I will happily promote it.
[00:03:53]  Please, and please come on as well.
[00:03:55]  I will happily come on.
[00:03:56]  You've got a face for television, Dennis.
[00:03:58]  Oh, I know.
[00:03:59]  Wasted on radio.
[00:04:00]  Completely wasted.
[00:04:01]  Be well, my friend.
[00:04:06]  He's terrific.
[00:04:10]  Do you understand, folks?
[00:04:11]  He put up a study.
