0:00.0	Hey, everyone, it's Andrew Claven with this week's interview with Scott Atlas, the doctor, obviously, and author of A Plague
0:22.6	Upon Our House, my fight at the Trump White House to stop COVID from destroying America.
0:27.1	I have often talked about a passage in Winston Churchill's memoirs of his youth, where he talked
0:33.2	about going to a party filled with the leaders of Europe before World War I and going to another
0:38.8	party after World War I with the leaders of Europe and how they were all different people
0:43.2	because World War I had been such a disaster and the failure of leadership throughout Europe.
0:48.4	I truly believe that the response to the COVID epidemic was the greatest failure of Western leadership since World War I.

1:43.0	thank you for coming on. It's nice to meet you.
1:44.8	Happy to be here. I have to read this to you because it just made me laugh. It was said Atlas was
1:49.3	selected by President Donald Trump as Wikipedia in August 2020 to serve as an advisor on the White
1:54.5	House coronavirus task force. In that role, Atlas at times said misinformation about COVID-19,
2:02.4	such as theories that face masks and social distancing were not effective in slowing the spread of the coronavirus, which turned
2:07.2	out to be exactly right, didn't it? I mean... Right, and we knew it then because there was
2:11.8	plenty of data and, in fact, randomized trials and solid studies showing that stuff.
2:18.9	But yeah, it's sort of shocking and to me a bit frightening that people use Wikipedia as a
