57:55 How much time I can quote his whole book by memory. Would you like to hear it? Like there's real substantive political support and then there's just like trendy weirdness where they just like put Ruth Bader Ginsburg's head on their sweater. And there it is, the notorious RBG. People will wear this shirt and you can ask them, you can ask them, what did RBG do? What did she support? What is one of her beliefs? They have no idea, no idea. They're just trendy. They're just trendy little cult members and it's amazing. Okay, all right. So when we get back on the other side, I'm gonna cover this story in detail from Infowars.com. COVID cases continue to fall significantly in South Africa, but you should still be scared. You should still be incredibly scared. That classic American quote, I think you'll all remember, we have nothing to fear, but Omicron and COVID and your neighbors and the air and the winter and the cold.
58:52 meat and cows and cars, big cars in China and Russia. Do you fear Russia? Are you scared of Russia and Republicans and white nationalists and white supremacists and white people in general? It turns out we have a lot of things to fear, folks. Fear itself is pretty far down the list, actually. It's actually extremely useful for us. They're desperate to create the fear. Are you scared yet? Are you frightened yet? Do we need to have Anthony Fauci go out and try to scare you some more? We're just here like, hey, maybe don't be scared. Maybe just look at the facts on the ground and then make your opinion on that. And they're like, how about this? How about be scared and then we'll make up whatever we need to to justify your scaredness. And once you're scared, just give us control of your life. That's the solution.
59:45 No, but it's wild. And he's comparing this of course to the United Kingdom. COVID cases in South Africa, the epicenter of the Omicron outbreak, have continued to fall rapidly despite other governments pressing the panic button over the new variant. Having already imposed Plan B restrictions, the UK government and others on the continent are considering even more draconian measures to stop a tsunami of Omicron cases. I covered this on War Room on Friday when I was sitting in for Owen, but literally we were comparing headlines. I were like, first Omicron case in the UK, actually turns out he didn't die of Omicron, he died with Omicron, so still zero deaths in the UK as of Omicron. The next headline, 75 million deaths expected from Omicron by January. Are you scared yet? Are you fearful? Well folks, the narrative is live. Are you scared yet?
1:00:32 Are you ready to surrender your last freedoms to the psychopaths? Or do they need to frighten you more? Countries and cities, or states and cities around the country, countries around the world are imposing new and even more draconian lockdown orders in response to the very scary sounding Omicron variant. Sounds scary, doesn't it? It must be. Of course it's not, and none of this is justified by anything, but Muriel Bowser has now declared a state of emergency in Washington DC. Other cities and counties are imposing new mask mandates and new lockdowns. They're being even more strict about vaccine mandates. Of course, none of this is based on anything scientific whatsoever, not even a little bit, even a
1:01:26 I almost called him Biden. Why shouldn't I, right? Trump says you're playing right into their hands if you doubt the COVID-19 vaccines, which is a dumb thing to say. That's what I'll say about that. What a dumb thing to say. What a disappointment. Here's a story from Infowars.com by Paul Joseph Watson. COVID cases continue to fall significantly in South Africa, comparing the response of the UK government to the oncoming threat of Omicron. to what is actually happening with Omicron. Saying that COVID cases in South Africa, the epicenter of the Omicron outbreak have continued to fall rapidly despite other governments pressing the panic button over the new variant. Let's take a look now at the UK pressing that panic button and then sort of being forced to admit that, okay, so it's not as bad as I'm making it out to be, but you should still be scared. Let's watch. Can you just tell us at this stage, how many people are in hospital this morning with Omicron?
1:02:28 There's 774. In hospital? Oh, sorry, that's total hospitalizations in the last seven days. With Omicron, there's 10 cases. 10. Maybe going up to 11, actually. That wasn't confirmed yet. Oh no! Probably going up to 11. Oh no, not 11! How many deaths? The deaths were a hundred and... Oh, I don't have the actual... From Omicron, lady. Oh, Omicron. Oh, sorry, sorry, Kay. No, we don't have... We've had one death with Omicron so far. Oh, do you see how... And how many of those... Do you see how specifically she was when she said that? With Omicron. We've had one death. I don't think there's anybody that I'm aware of on a ventilator with Omicron.
1:03:15 Okay, Professor Witty saying people should be So what you're getting at is the severity of the disease which is one of the unknowns. I'm just asking for the fact that all those 10 people in hospital, one of them has died, the other 10 are not on ventilators. Those are facts. Yeah, they're cranking it up to 11 folks. Watch out. 11 in the hospital with Omicron maybe but actually they're there for something else but they did test positive. You notice how specific she was, right? She was asked how many deaths from Omicron and she said, we've had one with Omicron. Like that was her emphasis, with Omicron. They didn't die from Omicron. They died with Omicron.
1:04:00 So you get the headlines, first dead, first Omicron death in the UK. It has begun. The tidal wave has arrived. But it's a lie. It's fabricated on a lie. It's based on a lie. And you have to read the article and you have to look at where they say died with COVID rather than from COVID. The media is engaged in a very, very specific game. It's how to tell the truth and leave the person with the impression of a lie, right? It's true, somebody did die with Omicron, but they want you leaving with the impression that they died from Omicron. They just have to word it in a way that leaves you with that impression while covering their own butts by printing exactly what is true. Having already imposed Plan B restrictions, the article from Infowars goes on, the UK government and others on the continent are considering even more draconian measures to stop a tsunami of Omicron cases.
1:04:51 However, yet more data out of South Africa suggests they are engaging in an incredibly alarmist overreaction. Here shows the percentage rates dropping over the course of a week. As we highlighted earlier, health authorities in South Africa have come, have suggested, wait, have even suggested stopping tracing and quarantining those who've come into contact with Omicron because it isn't helping to stop the spread of the variant, which only causes mild symptoms anyway. Last week, South Africa Health Minister Joe Fahala said only 1.7% of COVID cases in the current Omicron wave are being hospitalized compared to 19% in the previous wave.
1:05:31 If the people who were running our countries and the people who were our health authorities actually cared about people and actually wanted to get over this pandemic, wanted to get back to normal, if their goal was the cessation of all of these lockdowns and whatever's, this would be great news. They would be shouting this from the rooftops. They'd be saying everybody, it's going to be okay. Omicron, the mutation has shown that it's maybe transmissible, but it's not nearly as deadly. So it's a good thing. It'd be a good thing if these people had souls, but they don't. They're power hungry psychopaths. And so they'll take any piece of information that increases fear and they'll blast that out. Even if it's completely baseless, even if it's a model based on nothing, like they'll put it out because it creates fear because that's what they want. They want control. But if it's good news, they bury it and call it a conspiracy theory.
