Chapter transcript
  1. 01:46:00 I have not, sir.
  2. 01:46:01 Okay.
  3. 01:46:02 I have not, sir.
  4. 01:46:04 Okay.
  5. 01:46:08 Unfortunately,
  6. 01:46:10 the Democrat witness,
  7. 01:46:11 Dr Ashish Jha,
  8. 01:46:13 began tweeting his negative viewpoint of early treatment before the hearing even began and continued his media blitz for days afterward.
  9. 01:46:22 Most obnoxiously,
  10. 01:46:23 and it was obnoxious,
  11. 01:46:24 he penned an op-ed that the New York Times ran and headlined,
  12. 01:46:28 quote,
  13. 01:46:29 "The Snake Oil Salesman of the Senate," unquote.
  14. 01:46:33 The absurdity of calling
  15. 01:46:34 Dr Jha as a witness or paying any attention to him in the media was demonstrated when I asked him during the hearing,
  16. 01:46:41 "Have you treated any COVID patients?" His reply,
  17. 01:46:44 "I have not, sir.”
  18. 01:46:46 The news censors and defames health care workers who speak out.
  19. 01:46:51 How many of you personally have witnessed censorship,
  20. 01:46:57 intimidation,
  21. 01:46:58 or professional reprisal and damage as a result of your advocacy for patients?
  22. 01:47:05 Many doctors are actually working in employed positions,
  23. 01:47:09 and as time went on,
  24. 01:47:11 they were told in no uncertain terms,
  25. 01:47:14 "If you use these drugs,
  26. 01:47:16 you probably will be fired."
  27. 01:47:18 The politicians attack them.
  28. 01:47:20 This crazy woman he talked about last night about who's an absolute disgrace.
  29. 01:47:27 How does the system stop the one that works as a therapy and pushes the one that doesn't work,
  30. 01:47:34 which is the gene therapy?
  31. 01:47:35 I think that's where people are having a hard time.
  32. 01:47:37 Through use of the mass media.
  33. 01:47:38 And you had Jimmy Kimmel saying the president's trying to kill himself by taking it.
  34. 01:47:43 Joe Scarborough saying,
  35. 01:47:45 "This will kill you." Neil Cavuto saying,
  36. 01:47:47 "What have you got to lose?
  37. 01:47:49 One thing you have to lose are lives." And you had Chris Cuomo saying,
  38. 01:47:53 "The president knows that hydroxychloroquine is not supported by science." Turns out that Chris Cuomo took a less safe version of it.
  39. 01:48:01 Didier Raultis a microbiologist with a long and respected career.
  40. 01:48:05 His critics were very quick to point to possible dangerous side effects.
  41. 01:48:10 Dr Raoult, a renowned virologist,
  42. 01:48:12 published a data for over 4,000 patients.
