=== Fact Check or Opinion (05:48) ===

[00:00:00]  Yeah, got a new show for y'all.
[00:00:02]  Got a damn good show.
[00:00:04]  Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He's a Democrat I like.
[00:00:08]  I can align myself with him.
[00:00:10]  He's a good man.
[00:00:10]  He's an honorable man.
[00:00:12]  He's got integrity.
[00:00:14]  Yeah.
[00:00:14]  He's a moderate, though.
[00:00:16]  Yeah.
[00:00:16]  That's not the Democrat Party no more.
[00:00:18]  Yeah, I know, which makes him pretty much a conservative, a far-right-leaning conservative.
[00:00:23]  He's a true liberal.
[00:00:25]  Yeah.
[00:00:26]  Remember the old days, everybody?
[00:00:27]  Liberals?
[00:00:28]  Yeah.
[00:00:29]  Man, I wish we had them back.
[00:00:31]  We used to thought they were assholes.
[00:00:35]  But I'd do anything if we get a JFK liberal in the White House.
[00:00:38]  Or just make the Democrat Party, man, they fell on some hard work.
[00:00:42]  Well, Jeff K Jr., if he was alive, well, I still want a Republican there.
[00:00:47]  But if JFK was alive, he would be Republican.
[00:00:55]  Anyway, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I like him, man.
[00:00:59]  He's a good man.
[00:01:00]  He's a man too.
[00:01:01]  He made this.
[00:01:02]  Check out this video about what he said about Anderson Cooper and his money.
[00:01:05]  How much money he's making and where it's coming from.
[00:01:10]  The biggest advertiser today on TV by far, wharfing everybody else's pharmaceutical companies.
[00:01:18]  About 85%, 75% of total revenues, advertising revenues to the major networks are coming from pharma.
[00:01:27]  The network news, the evening news is much higher because that is their demographic.
[00:01:31]  It's kind of older people who are buying a lot of pharmaceutical drugs.
[00:01:35]  So it's around 85% of the network news revenues.
[00:01:40]  And what that means is that they're not just buying advertising space, but they're buying content on the network news.
[00:01:48]  You know, Anderson Cooper has a $12 million annual salary, but about 10 million of that is coming from Pfizer.
[00:01:56]  So who is he working for?
[00:01:58]  Is he working for the American public or, you know, or his viewers, or is he working for the pharmaceutical industry?
[00:02:05]  Wow.
[00:02:06]  Anderson Cooper is a drug dealer?
[00:02:11]  He one of those high-profile drug dealers.
[00:02:13]  Yeah, man.
[00:02:14]  He got to get his hands dirty.
[00:02:15]  So that's what he said.
[00:02:17]  Yeah.
[00:02:17]  I do some research on what he said.
[00:02:19]  And of course, this website comes up.
[00:02:21]  The first thing that comes up on Google, fact check?
[00:02:24]  Fact check.
[00:02:26]  Can I bring it up?
[00:02:27]  How are they going to flip this?
[00:02:28]  No, Pfizer wasn't caught funneling millions to Anderson Cooper.
[00:02:33]  At any point in time, did he use the word funnel?
[00:02:36]  Yeah.
[00:02:36]  Funneling sounds like money laundering, like sound like under the table.
[00:02:40]  Like a ploy.
[00:02:41]  Yeah, under the table.
[00:02:42]  Yeah.
[00:02:43]  Funneling, why are you using those terms?
[00:02:45]  Of course you can do a fact check when you misrepresent the argument, which is what you did in your fact check.
[00:02:50]  How do you do that in a fact track?
[00:02:52]  A fact check.
[00:02:52]  You misrepresent the argument.
[00:02:55]  His argument is majority of the money that pay these networks coming from pharmaceutical companies.
[00:03:02]  Yeah.
[00:03:02]  Especially during.
[00:03:03]  Which is how they used to pay Anderson Cooper's salary, a majority of it.
[00:03:07]  I would say so.
[00:03:08]  If you see an end and a majority of your money is coming from Big Pharma, I think it would be the logical thing to say, hey, a majority of money that we paying our people that work for our network is coming from Big Pharma.
[00:03:19]  And that's basically what he said.
[00:03:21]  I think it's hundreds of millions.
[00:03:22]  I may be wrong.
[00:03:24]  But they paid a lot of money in advertising.
[00:03:26]  Yeah.
[00:03:27]  I mean, if somebody, okay, if somebody's paying me $100 million, right?
[00:03:32]  Yeah.
[00:03:33]  I mean, that's going to affect my content.
[00:03:36]  I mean, we talking $100 million here.
[00:03:40]  Yeah, you got a conflict of interest.
[00:03:41]  Yes.
[00:03:42]  It's a threat to your integrity, man.
[00:03:44]  Yeah.
[00:03:45]  You throw away your integrity, man.
[00:03:47]  $100 million.
[00:03:47]  What?
[00:03:48]  $100 million?
[00:03:49]  All I got to do is what?
[00:03:50]  Push these needles.
[00:03:51]  Okay.
[00:03:54]  That's funny, man, how they misrepresent the argument in the fact check.
[00:03:57]  That is crazy.
[00:03:58]  I would read the fact check, but it's a fact check.
[00:04:05]  I mean, he didn't say he was paying them under the table on the side, 12 million.
[00:04:10]  It's just the way they worded it.
[00:04:11]  They misrepresented it.
[00:04:12]  It's missing context.
[00:04:14]  Yeah.
[00:04:15]  See, I mean, we should have more politicians calling this out, man.
[00:04:19]  You should have them, well, the media's not going to call out because that's how a majority of that money comes from.
[00:04:23]  That's why Fox News is not going to really say anything.
[00:04:26]  Yeah.
[00:04:27]  Money.
[00:04:28]  That's why, what's the face is going?
[00:04:30]  I ain't going to mention his name.
[00:04:32]  What?
[00:04:33]  I ain't going to say it.
[00:04:34]  Hey, let me read some of the fact check.
[00:04:36]  Why are you going to read that?
[00:04:37]  It's garbage.
[00:04:38]  Yeah, you're right.
[00:04:39]  No, go ahead and read.
[00:04:40]  Now, you know what?
[00:04:41]  Screw it.
[00:04:45]  Pfizer, look, claim.
[00:04:46]  Pfizer was caught funneling 12 million to CNN.
[00:04:49]  Did he ever say that?
[00:04:49]  He didn't say funnel.
[00:04:50]  He didn't use that verbiage.
[00:04:52]  Look, false.
[00:04:52]  There is no evidence to support that claim, which is an outgrowth of comments made by anti-vaccine activists and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
[00:05:02]  Kennedy's campaign said his remarks were intended as a rhetorical comment about the pharmaceutical industry's influence through advertisers.
[00:05:09]  No, really?
[00:05:12]  What?
[00:05:12]  What?
[00:05:13]  They said that's no evidence.
[00:05:14]  Is there any evidence that proves him wrong?
[00:05:17]  No.
[00:05:17]  So why?
[00:05:18]  Is that an opinion check?
[00:05:20]  It can't be a fact check because you know the difference between a fact and opinion.
[00:05:23]  A fact is something you can prove with evidence.
[00:05:26]  Opinion is just an opinion.
[00:05:27]  Yeah.
[00:05:28]  So if there was evidence to validate that he's wrong, and you said you got it, why don't you provide it?
[00:05:38]  Yeah, this is more of an opinion check.
[00:05:42]  That was a damn good show.
[00:05:44]  Gotcha.
[00:05:45]  Damn, opinion check is what it is.
[00:05:47]  I'm tired of these people, man.
