Time Text
Hey, come see a live stand-up show.
We're doing New Year's Eve in Studio City.
In January, we'll be in Raleigh, North Carolina.
In February, we're going to be in Philadelphia.
Go to JimmyDoorComedy.com for a link for all our tickets.
I got a bunch of voicemails from all the people wishing me Merry Christmas.
And let's see who's up first.
I think Bernie called me.
Hello, Jimmy.
I just wanted to call and wish you and stuff and Brownie.
Merry Christmas.
I come from the Jewish faith tradition, so I don't really celebrate Christmas, but everyone else seems to.
So I'm just going to go along with it.
That's what other people are doing, so I'm going to do it.
So Merry Christmas.
Happy Yule Pide, whatever the hell that is.
Enjoy your wasp tail and mistletoe and so forth.
And you can look forward to hearing even less from me in 2022.
Okay.
I look forward.
Okay, who's our next one?
What's up, baby?
It's Fitzvoy Double B. What a great year this has been.
You've been a liberal.
I have not been a liberal.
You blew up and got huge.
I'm so proud of my baby boy.
Look at you.
Baby's got subscribers coming out of his damn cornhole.
Honestly, I'm fired.
You still need to take my calls.
I'm honored if you even listen to this voicemail message.
You're bigger than Vincy, baby, at this point.
I'm just kidding.
You'll never be bigger than me.
I'm the fucking king.
Jimmy, don't flatter yourself.
I've been in a Jurassic Park movie, goddammit.
Yeah, I know.
Merry Christmas.
I love you, Jimmy D. Merry Christmas, Vince.
Okay.
Let's see the next call.
Look at this.
Jimmy, this is Rick Perry.
I was going to text you and say Merry Christmas, but apparently I get in trouble when I send texts now.
People don't like my texts anymore.
They say I'm trying to subvert democracy, whatever the hell that means.
Sorry if I acknowledge that we live in a post-bush of e-gore world and fortune favors the bold.
Oops.
Well, we all know nothing is going to happen to any of us.
I guess you could say it's a Christmas miracle.
So happy Noel to you, whoever that guy is.
But that's how they say Christmas in France.
Noel is the Christmas man.
And I hope that in 2022 you die in a car fire.
Okay.
Next one.
Let's see.
What's the next one?
Hello, Jimmy.
Merry Christmas.
It's Kevin Spacey.
I couldn't help noticing how hard people are trying to cancel you.
So far, they have not been successful so far.
I, of course, wish you the best, but just know that these people, these cancelers, never quit.
I know.
They are a persistent bunch, just because I can assure you.
So if they ever are successful, just know that me and others like me are here waiting for you, ready to welcome you with open arms to the land of the cancelled.
It's cold down here, but we have each other, and that's something at least.
Just something to keep in mind.
Oh, and Happy New Year.
All right, who's the next one?
I'm excited.
Jimmy's present, Joe Biden.
Merry.
Merry Christmas, my old friend.
And happy Hanukkah and Kwanja, too.
Whatever your faith tradition is.
Guess what?
I got a new dog.
He's a German shepherd, and I named him Commandant or some shit.
He's pissing and shitting all over the White House.
This is hilarious to me.
I don't want him to stop it because everybody freaks out.
It's an absolute gas, man.
I'm having so much fun with this little fucker.
You have a dog, right?
Yeah.
Anyways, I can't seem to get anything done.
It's always that way at the end of the year, you know.
Luckily, there's not much writing on this.
Cancel student debt.
Give me a fucking break.
Might as well cancel Christmas while we're at it.
Not on my watch, Jack.
Annual Christmases.
That's the Joe Biden promised.
And you can hang your hat on it.
Jesus.
Hey, Commandant shitty again.
Gotta go watch the show.
Oh, ho, ho, Dal Puccino.
Wishing you all the Christmas cheer that you can stand.
I don't know about you, but I can stand a lot of it.
I got stockings hung.
Gonna prepare the meal of seven fishes, the whole kit and kabooro.
Can't go outside anymore to see Christmas lights because of Omicron.
Stay inside forever.
That's probably the safest thing to do.
And for God's sake, don't be around other people because everybody's gonna die.
What?
And we can't have that.
We have to have a lonely Christmas this year so we can have a full Christmas in 2035.
Yeah.
Maybe.
I'm not sure, but this is my understanding of the situation.
Stay home.
Better not even look out the window just to be safe.
Happy New Year.
All right.
Hello.
One more, is there?
Sorry.
Jimmy.
Harrison Ford.
Merry Christmas.
I guess I do mean that on some level, but you know as well as I do that Christmas is a sham.
It was originally a pagan holiday celebrated as Saturnalia by the Romans.
Yes.
Yoel by the northern peoples.
Then men in wool tunics and shaved heads came bearing lies from the Middle East and Ruined all that.
Well, I still celebrate the pagan solstice.
You bet your ass I do.
I will light a fire at night and dance around it and commune with my very life force until I become intoxicated.
With life and fucking weed, man.
Like I always say, don't get too busy with bullshit that you forget to fucking live.
Give my best to steph.
Bye.
Bye.
Establishment media sets of aught's fighting.
So good luck with bullshit.
They can't afford fomenting this world.
Watch and see as a jack dog.
It's the chimney tour show.
So guess what's happening?
There's a new variant out.
It's the Omicron.
And I don't know if you know this, Kurt, but the Omicron is exploding around the world with cold-like cyst symptoms.
So if you have a cold, it might not just be the cold.
You might have Omicron and you just go through life thinking you just have a cold.
You know, somebody I know just died from a COVID-related gunshot wound.
Okay.
So what's going on?
Omicron is exploding around the world, Kurt, but COVID cases in Japan keep plummeting, and no one knows exactly why.
I think they, I think I do.
I'm going to tell you in a minute.
Hold on.
Spoiler alert.
I know.
Call it the hunt for a potential X factor, such as genetics, that may explain the trend and inform how Japan could deal with the next wave.
While the new highly transmissible Omicron variant has appeared in the country, and experts suspect there is already some community spread, the overall transmission rate of the virus and coronavirus-related deaths in Japan has remained low.
Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, Japan has had a much lower rates of infection and death than many in the Western countries.
True, though, there was a severe spike over the summer that overwhelmed hospitals in Japan.
In Japan, researchers have examined factors like weather, cyclical patterns in the spread of the virus, and potential past exposure to mild coronavirus variants that may have led to the low case and dead cop.
Death cops.
What?
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Do you think it could be Japanese anime tentacle porn?
It turns out.
Okay.
Experts have identified potential genetic characteristics among the Japanese that may have led to a stronger immune system response to the coronavirus, but said there needs to be more research to draw definite conclusions.
Japan has now vaccinated most of its population and has widespread masking, which may explain the current low numbers.
Well, if it does, if that explains it, how do you explain South Korea, where authorities are rescinding reopening plans because of a spike in infection and record numbers of serious and critical cases, and they're just as vaccinated as the friggin' Japanese people are.
So how do you explain that?
If that's what did it, why isn't it doing it in South Korea?
That's the question.
And Japan has barely begun rolling out its booster shots, lagging behind other countries in the region, including South Korea.
So South Korea is even rolling out their boosters and they're having way worse corona than Japan.
What in the F is going on?
Obviously, vaccination, masking, and social distancing are surely factors, but those alone cannot explain it, especially when comparing the situation to South Korea.
It is unclear yet whether there is an factor X that exists specific to Japanese or East Asian people.
But in determining this, we hope it can help us to understand a control.
So they think that there might be something genetic in East Asian or Japanese people that is giving them some kind of immunity to this coronavirus.
In the past month, officials' daily case count in Japan has ranged from about 60 to under 200 in a country of 127 million freaking people.
There have been fewer than five coronavirus-related deaths recorded most days since early November.
Those numbers come with a caveat and probably are an undercount of the pandemic's true toll because of the lack of widespread testing, systemic contact tracing, or vaccine passports and delays in reporting the deaths from municipalities.
But even taking into account the underreporting, the number of cases and fatalities are a small fraction of the United States and many European countries.
This is true.
Now, this guy, Taisuki Nakara, Nakara, he's associate professor of economics and public policy at the University of Tokyo Faculty of Economics.
He led a team that tested six hypotheses that explain what's going on in Japan.
Why such low frickin' numbers?
He says one of six things, 120-day cycle of outbreaks.
Maybe it's just a cycle.
People avoiding places with high infection risk.
So maybe that's it.
Maybe because they're vaccinated.
Again, if it's South Korea is doing the same shit.
Weather, weather, herd immunity, and that Japan is seeing a low reproduction rate of the coronavirus.
They found that the final factor, the low reproduction rate, which represents how many people are infected by one positive case.
So if one person affects three people, that gives it a high number.
But if one person infects only one or less, that's a low number.
They found that the final factor, which represents how many people are infected by one positive case, was most probably the only one at play.
But they still could not explain why the reproduction rate was low or how it stayed low, even as the government lifted the state of emergency status in October and more people were out in society.
How in the F is this happening?
The low cases counts in Japan are particularly confounding given the situation in South Korea, which had often experienced similar periods of ebbs and flows.
Many of us in South Korea are perplexed by how COVID-19 cases and the deaths are approaching zero in the neighboring country, wrote Lee Duck He, professor of preventative medicine.
South Korea announced last week it would reimpose social distancing controls as the record spike of coronavirus stymies the country's reopening plans.
The announcement came about 45 days since the government began its living with the COVID-19 reopening plan.
So here's Japan.
That's their spike.
And now look at this is where it is now.
That was December 22nd.
Look at how low it is.
It's almost nothing.
And now look at South Korea.
Bam!
See the difference?
Nothing.
Bam.
How do you explain it?
They can't explain it.
But the study published this month by Japan's RIKEN Research Institute, The country's largest scientific research body found that a genetic feature found in white blood cells of up to 60% of the Japanese people mounts an immune response to the coronavirus.
The immune response was seen in 80% of the people with this genetic feature.
And researchers found that it may explain one theory about Japan's experience with coronavirus.
So maybe that's it.
But here's another thing: here's a weird coincidence.
Now, you know, I like to watch Dr. John Campbell because he does a daily show about coronavirus and lets you know all about it.
And here's what he said about the Japanese miracle.
Now, we want to look today at what can only be called the Japanese miracle, really.
Let me just show you some graphics of Japan.
It really is quite astounding compared to what we're still going through in the UK, the United States, Europe, other places.
Here's the situation in Japan.
So here we are now, very, very low cases, having come down from this massive increase here.
And we fussed about this a lot and won about how dangerous the Olympics were at this time.
Now, just looking at this last massive wave, sort of tsunami of cases in Japan, that's that wave in a little more detail.
So that's kind of spread out the timeline a bit there.
So that's from the 3rd of August to the 12th of September when the cases were high in Japan.
Now, the next thing I'm going to show you must be a very strange coincidence, but let's look at it.
Now, this is the date here when ivermectin was allowed as a treatment in Japan, the 13th of August.
This is a weird coinky dink.
This is when they allowed ivermectin to be used to treat coronavirus, COVID-19 in Japan.
That's when they did it.
So let's watch.
Watch this weird coincidence.
Now, if you Google this, if you Google ivermectin Japan, you'll get that the first 30 or 40 or 50 entrances will be saying that Japan has not approved ivermectin as an official treatment for COVID-19.
And that's true, it hasn't.
But I'm going to show you why I've got this date on here now.
That one there's the 13th of August Ivermectin allowed as a treatment in Japan.
So that was the 13th there, that day there.
So 13.
So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve days.
And then the case has started to completely plummet off down to where we are now in Japan.
So one of those interesting coincidences.
Strangely enough, it's a coincidence that hasn't really been referred to on mainstream Western media.
So that's a coinky dink.
I cannot say, I cannot say that that's what caused that.
We're not allowed to say that.
I'm not saying that.
But he's pointing it out with a wink, and he's saying it's interesting.
You never hear them talk about this coincidence on the mainstream news.
They'll never talk about it.
Well, I'll bet they're also not talking about all the gunshot victims that wait in line behind the horse.
People in emergency rooms because they took the horse to wormer.
So here's another.
This is from trial site news, which is a scientific thing.
Chairman of the Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Association declares during surge, time for ivermectin is now.
This is from August 16th.
So look at this.
The chairman of the Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Association, the chairman, he recently led an emergency press conference on August 13th, declaring the urgent status of the pandemic as Japan is now in its worst surge of COVID-19 pandemic since the onset of the crisis.
This was back then.
Dr. Ozaki's recent speech, he declared that ivermectin has demonstrated significant benefits in reducing infections and death where the regimen is prophylactically administered for another indication.
The head of the Metropolitan Medical Association declared that while clinical trials were important, it was time to greenlight doctors to prescribe ivermectin in association with giving the patient informed consent.
And here he is right there.
Tokyo's Medical Association chairman holds a live press conference.
Japan's government is one of the most conservative and cautious in the world.
So here's what he...
So he's talking about the if you they thought there was going to be a big wave of COVID in Africa and it didn't happen.
And he's because he's saying, well, they also give them ivermectin.
He's not saying that that is what's doing it.
He's saying that's correlation doesn't mean causation, but we need to study it.
And he said, we should make it available to everyone.
They did make it available to everyone.
And what a coincidence.
What a coincidence that they're now having the lowest rates in the world.
And no one's ever talking about that coincidence.
And by the way, that's not Joe Rogan.
That's the chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association.
Why don't you call him a crazy right-winger too?
You should call him a crazy right-winger nut.
Why is he taking horse stories?
Telling people to take horse to wormer.
Why is he doing that?
He sounds like a bad doctor.
I wonder how he got to be the chairman of the Tokyo's Medical Association.
I also wonder how they got their COVID rates down so low.
I guess we'll never know.
Kurt, you have anything?
Oh, by the way, I just want to let you know, Pfizer's expect to make $33.5 billion in vaccine revenue in just 2021.
In just 2021.
Do you know how much the entire recording music industry in the United States generates?
Do you know how much money the entire gross product of the recording industry in the United States?
$12 billion.
Whoa.
$12 billion.
All the recorded music in America in one year is worth $12 billion.
This one thing is going to give them 33.5.
Do you know how much power comes with that kind of money?
You can control media.
You can control the culture.
You can control the narrative.
You can control politicians.
You can control other industries.
That's a lot of effing money.
Go ahead, Kurt.
In fairness, Jimmy, I can't pirate download fine Pfizer medical drugs.
I was going to say, what if we do this?
Have a happy medium.
We make it so that they can put a copyright on ivermectin and raise it to $3,000 a pill.
I wonder what would happen.
I wonder if that would change the science.
I wonder if they could make it charge $3,000 a pill.
I wonder if that would change the science.
What if they made $35 billion from Ivermectin?
I'll bet that would make a lot of look because we already are operation warp speed on something, right?
Like where it's basically a nice way of saying we're experimenting a little bit.
You know, that's why we signed a release.
So as long as we're doing that, why not experiment with a few things?
That's all I think.
Well, here, this is from the Wall Street Journal.
Moderna turns its first profit boosted by COVID-19 vaccine.
Did you know that?
Moderna turned their first profit.
Company's work on vaccines has transformed it in the space of a year.
Prospect of a temporary loss of vaccine patents clouds investors' outlook.
So they turned a profit for the first time because of this.
I don't see how that's connected.
I don't see how any of it's connected.
I'm just giving you facts.
I'm not putting it together.
I'm not making a decision.
What's that?
What are you?
Joining a Trevor Noah death cult?
That's right.
I'm not making a declarative statement.
I'm not making any of that stuff.
I'm not saying ivermectin cures anything.
I'm saying it's a weird coincidence.
That's what I'm saying.
And what's a bigger, weirder thing is that they never mentioned that coincidence on the news, just like as Dr. John Campbell said.
I like we're looking for like eugenic reasons first.
Like maybe something with the Japanese blood cell somehow.
Yes, it's got to be their genetics.
It couldn't be.

Guess what's happening?
So now you like Beyond Burgers?
You like Beyond Meat?
They're doing it now with bugs.
Coming soon, faux meat burgers made from maggots and mealworms.
Growing numbers of producers are exploring insects as a source of protein.
Yeah, no kidding.
Diners have increasingly warmed to the idea of burgers made from peas and coconut oil, crab cakes crafted from artichokes and kelp, and chicken nuggets formed from gluten and tapioca starch.
Big food producers are betting they'll soon welcome crickets, beetles, mealworms, and maggots into the mix at well.
Hey, hang on.
Are they trying to cheat us with this bug meat?
There better still be at least 30% fecal matter in those patties.
Come on.
I want every last bit of what I got going.
That's right.
Hey, chicken and tuna made from vegetables, cellular culture, or insects.
We know the demand for it will grow much more than what we're seeing today.
You know, vegetables scream when you cut into them, right?
Does anybody remember?
Does anybody remember?
I do.
You remember that story, right, Kurt?
Plants produce an ultrasonic scream humans can hear when stressed or cut or attacked by insects.
Is there anything anyone can't eat these days that won't fucking scream?
I don't know.
Sand?
Can we eat sand?
Everything's vegetables are screaming.
I'm not making that up.
It's here on my paper.
No, that was the real study, right?
I know.
That was a real study.
They did a study, and there was, was it ultrasonic?
Yeah, some frequency that we can't hear that the plant emits.
It's like, oh, you're killing me.
Quit cutting me.
If you could put a microphone under a fucking lawnmower, oh, boy.
The screams you would hear.
That means that vegans really aren't better people.
They're just a kind of cereal killer, basically now.
Especially if those vegetables are in your cereal.
Oh, come on.
Hang on.
I'm getting messages.
Hold on.
They're making burgers from everything that literally eats shit.
Yeah, really?
Yeah, those maggots.
And yeah, they literally, that's great.
Rick, that's Rick Overton's joke.
Nice job.
Isn't that, I mean, for years, I heard this when I was a kid, like the shellac they use to make candy bars shiny, that's all ground-up beetles and stuff, right?
Like, is this like news that we're going to start sneaking bugs in the food?
I think that's been like, do you remember when the Nestle, Nestle beef?
There's a big controversy because in England, they found out it was horse meat.
And Stan Hope had that joke of how dare you feed us a leaner, more nutritional meat.
Oh, but people don't want to think they're eating horses.
That's it.
Although vegetarians wouldn't eat them, insects are, after all, animals.
Bug evangelists say that 2,000 or so species of edible critters have a lower carbon footprint and require less land than livestock and many grains.
And yeah.
Yeah.
And they're easy to hide in foods too, right?
I mean, they're probably in there.
It's so filthy how that stuff's made.
Yeah.
Mealworms are clean, odorless, rich in minerals and vitamins.
Crickets and grasshoppers are loaded with protein.
Fruity fly larvae, most people call them maggots, have a mild taste and light color, so they're easy to hide in foods.
I know they're easy to hide in foods.
I've eaten that Taco Bell.
Come on.
What if they, what if they, what if they inspected one of these bug hamburger things and they find it contaminated with cow meat?
What are they going to fucking do?
Okay.
Barclay Pick predicts annual sales of edible bugs will grow to $8 billion by 2030 from less than $1 billion in 2019.
A potential challenge to the $30 billion plant-based faux meat market dominated by Impossible Foods Inc.
and Beyond Meat Inc.
Yeah, I know that.
Hey, why not feed them puppy faces and call it a Fauci burger?
How about that?
They took down the flavor.
It's a dark joke.
Pound for pound, insects are more efficient than livestock, and they need less space to grow than soy, says Mohamed Asher, chief executive officer of Aspire Food Group, which is building an 11-story vertical cricket farm in Ontario.
Aw, and insects are one of the easiest things to make delicious.
They take on the flavor of whatever you feed them.
Why don't you feed them soulless scientists?
How about that?
Why don't you see what it tastes like?
Again, we're pretty sure eating all kinds of bugs in our burgers already.
I'm pretty sure that's already happening.
Factory farms are disgusting, so I'm pretty sure there's tons of bugs in it.
This is an insect farming.
This is insect farming 2.0, says Constantener, founder of Fly Farm, a startup that builds automated critter factories.
Right now, people are making jokes about bugs.
Soon, you'll be eating them in your burger.
Again, I'm pretty sure we're already doing that.
Oh, wait, Jimmy, I just got a text.
I forgot about this.
The Kellogg's company got a bunch of complaints during the worker strike because they hired scabs and people were finding bugs in their snacks and cereal products.
So, like, this is just a way to get you used to it.
Get you used to it.
You're going to be seeing a lot more crickets in your cornflakes, guys.
Is that a sugar pop?
Or Flying Spark and Israel, an Israeli startup, is working on seafood alternatives based on fruit fly larva that take just a week to reach maturity.
One product is a canned tuna substitute that's made by combining protein from the larva with spices, flavoring, and color to mimic the real thing.
Hey, I'm going to skip that one.
you know what it sounds like to me?
It sounds like to me someone's trying to sell a batch of expired tuna.
That's what that sounds like.
That's what it sounds like to me.
Gonna go ahead and skip it.
There's spices.
Spices.
We can create different textures, smells, tastes, and colors using the latest food technology, Flying Spark CEO Gronich says you can get people to try it once, but if it doesn't taste great, they're never gonna come back.
That's true.
It's why no one cares about pink slime.
Remember pink slime, ladies and gentlemen?
That's what's in Taco Bell, McDonald's, and a bunch of other fast food.
And it didn't hurt their business at all because it tastes good, even though it's pink slime.
Remember, we did stories on it.
That's what they make burgers out of.
Pink slime.
Do you remember, Jimmy, the articles that came out after that story?
People were horrified for one second and forgot.
But there was all these articles defended.
Well, I, for one, think that is delicious.
Like, there was all these senators and articles defending the pink slime.
He's like, that's what this sounds like.
It does.
Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread with it within it.
Let me read that over.
Humankind is not woven.
God damn it.
I'm having a hard time reading today.
Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect.
So if you kill bugs, the animals of the world exist for their own reasons.
They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white or women were created for men.
Who said that?
Alice Walker.
Whew, that's a tough person.
Who's the first one?
The first person was Chief Seattle.
Oh, I thought it said Chef Seattle.
I'm like, is this a new bug chef?
No, that's the Chief Seattle.
And that's Alice Walker, the famous writer.
But for the sake of some little mouthful of flesh, we deprive a soul of the sun and light.
And of that proportion of life and time, it had been born into the world to enjoy.
Who said that?
Plutarch.
Never heard of him.
He's a Plutoturk.
So that would be the vegans are saying that, or vegetarians are saying that to me and vegans, that it's not right to eat bugs.
Is that true?
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't even know that they're saying, hey, don't eat the bugs.
They're saying, don't eat the bugs.
We deprive a soul of the sun.
You're deprying a soul of the sun.
Does everybody know we're going to have too much sun because of climate change?
And the reason this bug thing is coming out, it's kind of, I think it's like, you know how green energy versus big oil turns out they're both big polluters and it's just another conglomerate.
This is this is like the new green.
Hey, don't eat beef.
We're the bug conglomerate that really cares about the earth.
And basically, you, the little people, are going to get used to this eating bugs.
It's a step on the way to cannibalism, which I've also seen articles from scientists.
Gonna have to get used to eating human remains, folks.
No.
It's bad.
Remember that?
Remember that controversial Swedish guy?
People are going to have to get used to eating human flesh eventually.
So this is a step on the way to that.
All the people on top are going to be eating beef and real shrimp.
Don't worry about that.
They're going to have that.
You're going to get used to bug.
You already eat pink slime.
Have some bugs now.
So I was thinking that when I first heard about this, I was like, oh, this would be good because you don't have to eat, you know, like Beyond Meat Now, it's got the nutritional value of a stick of margarine, right?
It's made with that, the shitty part of the coconut fat, which is not good.
And they, so it's not, okay, it's good.
You're not eating an animal, which is a big plus, because I don't want to eat animals because of what all this stuff, like you're not, they have, I just think it's cruel and you shouldn't do it.
And they have a life for their own life.
And but my doctor is making me eat it.
So I go to get the, I eat the Kobe beef because those cows are massaged their whole life and they're, they live a stress-free life.
That's the whole key to make sure they're not stressed so their meat stays extra, whatever, tender.
And then just right at the end of life, boom, they just kill them and then they don't see it coming.
And I said, I would like to live like that.
If you could have, if you'd have given me the first 50 years of my life stress-free with massages all day, I would have been like, and then you're going to kill me when I don't see it coming.
I'd be like, okay.
Do you know how much fucking stress I've had in my life?
So I would say two-thirds of my life has been shed away through stress.
Really?
Jimmy, are you saying you could be way more delicious than you are?
I could be way more delicious.
You'll have a lot better marbling if someone hit it.
So I do eat the Beyond stuff and the incredible burgers and that stuff.
Joe Rogan kills his own meat.
And people say, well, if you eat it, what do you, you see, we're too much of a coward to kill it?
And if I had to kill my own meat, I wouldn't.
I wouldn't, and I wouldn't eat it.
I just can't do it.
I couldn't even kill a chicken.
I couldn't do it.
Yeah, Jimmy, I'm too lazy to clean my own kills.
What are you talking about?
It's not a matter of, I can't kill this.
Like, you're going to, you got to lug that.
You got to chop it up.
Joe Rogan's in great shape.
He can lug meat around if he has to.
I'm not doing that.
He can put a buck over his shoulder.
Yeah, that's a real like I can't do it.
I just, it's just, I'm too much of a snowflake.
I just, honest, I can't.
We're all going to be food eventually for the crew.
We're going to become bug food.
Wait a minute.
I become bug food.
The bugs are going to fucking eat me.
And they would do it sooner if they could, as Dr. Fauci's puppy experiments have shown us.
They don't wait till you're dead.
Yeah, those insects will kill you.
They're parasite.
But no, but so what, so if I, when I go in the grave, they'll eat me, but then I'm already dead.
So that would be like if we were eating already dead bugs.
That would be okay, right?
If you ate already dead bugs.
That's like I say if you could eat, you know, like a cow that's like sick, like if he was already sick and then they put him out of his misery, I'll eat that.
I think that's okay.
Can vegans not ride in like on motorcycles from the bugs going in your mouth?
So that's another thing I said, right?
So I was talking to a vegan friend of mine who is against eating bugs, saying that it's cruelty and all that stuff, which it is.
And I said, but you drive at night, right?
And they said, yeah.
I said, so why is it okay to kill bugs?
Because I don't know if you looked at your windshield after you've driven at night, but it's full of bugs.
If you're driven on an interstate and you got to get anywhere.
So it's full of bugs.
That's what you have a.
And so that person said, yeah, but I'm not doing it intentionally.
Yes, you are.
You know that if you drive at night, you're going to kill bugs with your car.
So why is it okay to kill bugs if you need to travel somewhere, but it's not okay to kill bugs if you want to eat it for nutrition.
You're not even going to eat those bugs.
You're just killing them.
It's manslaughter.
That's all it is.
That's right.
And you're just murder, and then you're scraping them off of your windshield.
Does anybody, what do the ladies have to say in the room about this?
Misha, are you a vegan?
Yes.
Misha is a vegan.
And what do you think?
Talk on the mic.
I save spiders.
You saved spiders?
I saved spiders.
So I will.
I won't be eating bugs.
But I also totally understand it and know that there's a lot of cultures around the world, and that is their main protein source.
Right.
So I'm not that opinionated on it, but I won't be eating the bugs.
Okay.
She's not going to be eating the bugs.
You just killed a bug.
Yeah, I just flew.
It was a gnat.
I didn't like it.
She killed a bug right in your face.
She did that.
She did that at you.
Yeah.
See what you did?
Well, you know, just I, Jimmy, did you know that from a BBC article, we've been eating insects our whole life because it's in red food coloring.
No.
So if you're horrified by the thought of eating insects, the bad news is that you've probably done so many, many times.
Of course.
Because they're in yogurt, ice cream, fruit pies, soft drinks, cupcakes, donuts.
And it's the red, the insect used to make carmine are called Cochineal and are native to Latin America where they live on cacti.
That's what I was talking about.
Beetles.
They ground them up and it's like this shiny thing and they get all kinds of food additives out of it.
So people who are vegans have probably eaten bugs that they don't even know it.
Is that what you're saying?
How could that be vegan?
I didn't want to break it to Misha right now.
Well, I'll come back over.
What?
I know all of the, I know so much extra information of the things I'm not supposed to eat.
Like the things I didn't know before I was vegan, then I would research and find exactly what Kurt's saying out and start taking those things out of my diet.
Oh.
But yeah, they're definitely hidden all over the place and, you know, different sugars even.
Really?
Get ready for this.
Lipstick.
Lipstick has bugs in it.
Because of the red food coloring.
Oh.
You got to get the non-bug lipstick.
You get that?
Misha gets that.
There's vegan lipstick.
Hey, how about you?
Yeah.
Oof, tough life.
This is a tough life.
I'll tell you that.
This is tough trying to be a good guy.
Isn't it, Kurt?
Listen, I thought my sister's vegan, and my relatives are from because they were Harry Krishna.
I thought veganism was some kind of Hindu thing that dates back to whatever.
Just a bunch of rich people came up with it in the 40s, so everybody knows.
And you should look it up.
The names they were going to go with instead of vegan are hilarious.
Like, I don't know what the moral, that seems like such a, I understand like the cruelty part.
That makes total sense to me.
But the thing of with the web of life, and that means humans get eaten and everybody gets eaten.
Like, what are you not supposed to do that?
Why is it set up that way?
I don't believe I wasn't meant to eat meat.
Clearly, you're a apes eat meat if they get their hands on it.
Just gorillas don't.
But that's the, you know, we're omnivores.
That's what everything's designed for.
It's not a moral company.
It's like having a moral about, I don't know, some other bodily function that you just do to survive.
But yeah, I hear what you're saying.
But so here's Chief Seattle.
Now, I'm going to guess that he killed Buffalo.
Because they used to.
So I was watching Joseph Campbell and the way they would run the buffalo off the cliff and all the buffalo would fall out and then they would go down and they'd have all the meat and they would have it for the winner.
But they felt guilty.
And so they had these myths and these ceremonies that they would where they would honor the buffalo and where the buffalo got to marry the chief's daughter or these.
Right?
And if you listen to Joseph Campbell, and so it's all these things that make them feel okay with doing that because I think they had a, but he would say, so anything.
So that's that's what's true what he's saying.
Well, you know, we do to ourselves.
I think that's exactly true.
That's right.
That's exactly true.
That's exactly right.
So whatever you do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect.
So the bugs are going to eat me when I die.
But they're not going to kill me, but maybe they will.
What if I get Zika virus?
Or what if, right?
If a bug kills me, I'm going to be upset I didn't get it.
I don't know who's going to judge me for this crime of bug killing.
Not the bugs.
I mean, who's bug Jesus?
Who am I going to face on my dying day that's going to be like, come on, those bugs?
You didn't even care?
I have to admit I didn't, Lord.
I just wanted to show you the conflicts of interests.
Just maybe, I don't know.
And maybe some people who consider themselves lefty critics or the government, maybe they'll pick up on some of this.
Maybe they won't.
This is from Biospace.
Scott Gottlieb joins Pfizer board weeks after departing the FDA.
What?
This is from, that was from July 2019.
Months after Scott Gottlieb stepped down from his role as commissioner, he was the commissioner of the U.S. food and drug, the FDA.
He then found himself back in the world of pharma as a member of Pfizer's board of directors.
Are you shitting me?
That's not illegal.
How did I get here?
What a strange trip it's been.
Wow.
I mean, I was the chairman of the FDA.
And the next thing I know, I'm on the board of a giant pharmaceutical company I used to regulate.
That happened.
I bet they just did a headhunt search.
And I woke up in the office and I had a series of tattoos on my body to tell me what happened.
Because I found myself.
There I am.
I found myself back in Big Barada Blah.
I was going to go into mowing lawns.
Next thing you know, I wake up.
I'm on the board of Pfizer.
I got turned around over here.
Before he was selected as the 23rd FDA commissioner by the White House, he served as a consultant to many companies, including Novo Nordisk, KlaxoSmithKline, and Daichi Senkyo.
Gottlieb also served on the boards of Grotto's Inc., Combi Matrix Corp, and Aptive Solutions.
What a better guy to be the commissioner of the FDA.
A guy who's literally as a corporation growing out of his asshole.
This is the guy we want as the head of our food and drug administration.
Okay.
As a member of Pfizer's board of directors, Gottlieb will earn a cash retainer, retainer of about $150,000 a year plus stock options in the company.
So that means he doesn't have to do anything.
That's what a retainer means.
That means he doesn't have to do anything.
They just give him $150,000.
You know what that is, Jimmy?
That's a Producer credit in Hollywood.
Yes.
That's right.
During his two-year tenure at the FDA, Gottlieb aggressively supported the approval of new branded drugs as well as generics.
Additionally, he tackled multiple public health problems, including an opioid epidemic that has been sweeping the country and vaping.
Again, the opioid epidemic was caused by the big pharma companies that he's now serving, or has always been.
There has certainly been some criticism of Gottlieb's returning to the board of pharmacy.
You think?
Has there been biases from Biospace?
There's certainly been some criticism.
There's been a little bit of criticism.
Sidney Wolf, the former head of Public Citizen Health Research Group and critic of Gottlieb and the FDA called the move classic.
Classic.
This guy's a legend.
He's classic.
Philosophically, he's returning to the ecosystem where he's most comfortable.
And he'll get paid very well for it, too.
Wolf said, according to Stat News.
So how often does this happen?
This is from Science Magazine.
This is from July 2018.
FDA's revolving door.
Companies often hire agency staffers who manage their successful drug reviews.
Job changes raise afflictive interest.
It raises a conflict of interest questions.
It raises questions.
Wait, where's the conflict?
I just see interest.
Yes, there's just interests.
Exactly.
This is the there might be a just the question.
This is the textbook definition of corruption.
Wait, wait, wait.
It says science.
You tell me Dr. Fauci wrote this?
Oh, I don't want to criticize science.
So this, again, this, it raises the questions.
No, this is the textbook definition of corruption and unethical behavior.
There's another one.
This is from ProPublica, which I love that name.
ProPublica.
FDA repays industry by rushing risky drugs to market.
What?
Why would they do that?
As pharma companies underwrite three-fourths of the FDA's budget for scientific reviews, the agency is increasingly fast-tracking expensive drugs with significant side effects and unproven health benefits.
So I'm not allowed, again, by YouTube.
I'm not allowed.
I always, I'm like, so what if you're not allowed to contradict what the CDC or the FDA says about coronavirus or Fauci or the NIH?
And I'm like, well, what if they're lying?
I'm not allowed to contradict them if they're lying.
No.
But I guess they are at ProPublica.
Go ahead.
It's called progressive stack, Jimmy.
Now you, as a powerful male, can't punch down at big pharma and at the FDA.
I don't ever heard that term, progressive stack.
Yeah, the, you know, from Occupy, where they determine who's oh, oh, okay.
That was such a bad strategy thing to do.
The FDA's growing emphasis on speed has come at the urging of both patient advocacy groups and industry, which began in 1992 to contribute to the salaries of the agency's drug reviewers in exchange for time limits on reviews.
No shit.
So we'll give you some money if you speed up this process.
So I no longer have the right to a speedy trial, but they have a right to a speedy drug review.
Yes, they have a right to a speedy drug review.
Maybe they should start letting you pay for speedy court procedures.
Maybe that would help.
Oh, my God.
So back to this.
It says in 2017, pharma paid 75% or $905 million of the agency's scientific review budgets for branded and generic drugs compared to just 27% in 1993.
Boy, how could that affect anything?
This is from Forbes.
The biopharmaceutical industry provides 75% of the FDA's drug review budget.
Is this a problem?
I don't know.
Problem for who?
Is it a problem for big pharma and Wall Street and the politicians that serve them?
No.
Is it a problem for everyone else?
Yes.
Oh, except the people who also own stock in big pharma.
So if you own stock in big pharma, not a problem.
Your portfolio is doing very well.
And if you work for Big Pharma, you're doing very well.
And if you work for the media companies or be it a politician who serve them and are paid by them, then that's not a problem.
But it is a problem for people like me and you.
Hey, by the way, look at here.
The regulatory capture of the FDA.
This is from the American conservative.
Even the American conservatives can see this shit.
What year is this from?
This is from this year, 2021.
Holy shit.
Even the American conservative is, wow.
This guy who wrote this is Maxim Jacobs.
He's a managing partner and director of research for North America for Edison Group, an investment research, investor relations and consulting firm.
So even this guy can tell the truth about the FDA.
Look at this.
He goes, this week, three members of an 11-member FDA advisory committee of experts resigned in protest over the FDA's approval of Adulhelm.
That's for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
These resignate.
This is from June of this year.
Did this get any publicity?
These restrictions are extremely unusual.
These resignations are extremely unusual, but in this case, understandable.
Why?
Well, Ed Hulim, Aduhelm, is that how you say it?
Aduhelm.
Aduhelms.
Ed Helms was approved by the agency despite the fact that both pivotal trials were stopped early because they were judged to be futile.
The FDA's own statistical reviewer did not support approval, and the FDA Advisory Committee reviewing the application voted it down overwhelmingly.
These are the same motherfuckers you're trusting with all the stuff around COVID.
Even all that happened.
Everybody was against it at every step.
What happened?
Well, additionally, in a survey conducted by Endpoint News, whose readership is heavily weighted at biopharmaceutical industry staffers and executives, over 80% considered the approval to be a bad idea.
So how did that drug on June 7th, how did it get approval?
Well, two words, regulatory capture.
What's that, Jimmy?
Regulatory capture is defined as when a supposedly objective regulatory agency ends up promoting the ends of the industries that they are regulating.
The FDA has been captured for quite a while.
That's what it means.
I thought it meant When people who are smarter than you and me decide to do something.
In 2016, in a 2016 study published in the British Medical Journal, the majority of the FDA's hematology oncology reviewers who left the agency ended up working or consulting for the biopharmaceutical industry.
No shit.
Well, imagine my chagrin.
In another investigative investigation by Science Magazine, 11 of the 16 FDA reviewers who worked on 28 drug approvals and subsequently left the agency are now working or consulting for the companies they just got done regulating.
11 of the 16.
Hey, regulate for the job you want, not the job you have.
That's right.
For example, let's give you an example.
Dr. Thomas Lauren, a former director of psychiatric products for the FDA, who had a history of less than objective actions while at the agency, he left the FDA in 2012.
He started a consultancy to help companies focused on psychiatric products navigate their regulators' approval process.
One of these companies is AstraZeneca, maker of Seraquel.
He was instrumental in getting Seraquell a broader approval in 2009, going so far as to personally minimize questions about cardiac risk related to the drug at an FDA advisory committee meeting.
After approval, however, there was no hiding from these side effects, and a warning label had to be added to the drug in 2011.
Now, let's go back to Aduhelm.
In March of 2019, Biogen's two identically designed randomized controlled studies looking at Aduhelm in mild Alzheimer's patients were stopped due to the data safety monitoring board judging them to be futile and unlikely to produce a clinically meaningful benefit.
Then in October of that year, Biogen announced that after receiving additional data from one of the trials, they decided to file for an approval of the high dose tested with the FDA.
This, despite the fact that the benefit was only seen in trial 302, while in trial 301, patients on the high dose actually did worse than patients on placebo.
Even the pool data combining that from both trials did not show a significant benefit for the high dose.
After Biogen made the decision to move forward, the company then went to work on the narrative.
At the clinical trials on Alzheimer's disease conference in December 2019, during a session to discuss the data, no skeptics or even statisticians were given a platform to speak.
Additionally, no open question and answer segment was allowed, and all microphones were removed from around the room.
This was highly unusual, especially given that question and answer sessions are the rule at a medical conference.
Even more shocking was that Biogen and the FDA released joint briefing documents for the meeting of the FDA Advisory Committee, a panel of experts convened prior to a drug's approval to discuss the safety and efficacy of the drug.
In my 22 years looking at the biotechnology sector, I don't remember this ever happening.
Typically, the FDA has one set of briefing documents where they discuss the data from their point of view, and the company has a different set.
Despite this questionable degree of collaboration, if not collusion, the meeting did not go well for Biogen.
The FDA statistician at the meeting, Dr. Tristan Massey, concluded that the evidence was conflicting and that approval might actually negatively impact the development of more effective treatments.
The advisory committee shared his advisory committee shared his view.
And on the question and on the key question regarding whether trial 302 provided evidence of effectiveness of the drug, not a single committee member voted yes and 10 voted no.
One abstained.
A pretty overwhelmingly negative response to this freaking drug.
And yet, the FDA approved it effing anyway.
Even worse, the actual drug label, which is what physicians and patients review when considering a drug, it reads like it was written by Biogen's marketing team.
First, the label indicates that it is approved for the treatment of all stages of Alzheimer's disease, even though it was only tested in mild patients and had meager efficacy even there.
This greatly inflates the addressable market size, as now all 6 million Americans with Alzheimer's are eligible for this drug.
Whoa, that sounds like an old brittle star bit.
Yeah.
Given the company decided to price the drug well ahead of any projections at $56,000 per patient per year, this drug could be a real budget buster.
They said a fair price, but the Clinical and Economic Review Institute said a fair price would be around $2,500 to $8,300, but they still wanted to charge $56,000 because there are good people over at Big Pharma.
Wait, per pillar, per year.
Per year.
Oh.
Per year, per person per year.
That's quite a jump.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
Yes, that's quite a jump.
And this 6 million patient estimate only includes people over the age of 65.
Hence, they will be covered by Medicare, specifically Medicare Part B, as is an infusion.
In 2019, total spending by Medicare Part B was $37 billion.
If just 15% of patients with Alzheimer's decided to go on AduHelm, that would equal $50 billion in spending.
Why did the FDA do all of this?
Besides the usual incentives for post-FDA careers, because they're going to get a freaking job at a big pharma place after they leave the FDA, also, there are likely political considerations at work.
Like what?
Well, less than two weeks prior to the approval, President Joe Biden said that if we don't do something about Alzheimer's in America, every single hospital bed will be occupied in the next 15 years with an Alzheimer's patient.
Again, fear-mongering.
That's what Big Pharma does.
Guess which 2020 candidate was the largest recipient of campaign funds by a large margin from Biogen and affiliated parties?
Well, that would be Joe Biden, the guy who just scared the shit out of you.
He got $76,241.
Biogen also significantly increased their lobbying ahead of the FDA decision, which with 2020 being a record year and 2021 being a record first quarter.
I have a lot of respect for the FDA, and I think the vast majority of reviewers are looking to Do the right thing, but the system is broken, and there needs to be more firewalls to insulate the FDA from manipulation.
In 2006, a 2006 survey of FDA scientists indicated that 18.4% of them had been asked for non-scientific reasons to inappropriately exclude or alter technical information or their conclusions in an FDA scientific document.
I have to imagine a similar survey wouldn't show any better results today.
I'm going to guess much, much worse.
So, Kurt, how surprised are you at all this?
Well, I took a positive is that at least he still has his respect for the FDA in time.
Wasn't that nice?
It said, oh, well, he didn't lose his religion.
He still loves this FDA, which is completely corrupted.
Isn't that great?
Wow.
Yeah, I was giggling a lot, and then it just got real.
It's like you can't, each part is worse than the last part as you go on.
And if we, and if you question those same criminal motherfuckers, you're immediately branded an anti-science, anti-vaxxer.
You're a real prick for real.
You're at a prick.
And if you don't want to do what they say, you're an anti-science, anti-vaxxer, and a real prick.
That's what that's those people.
Yeah, you're a vaccinated anti-vaxxer, the worst kind.
Oh, like a black, white supremacist.
Yeah.
So again, I don't know what other YouTube shows you're watching, but I'm guaranteeing the one you're watching aren't giving you a critique of fucking big pharma, of Fauci, of the NIH, of the FDA, of the 100% corrupt country we're living in, and the corporate capture of our regulatory agencies.
And they're not giving you any critique on anything of the vaccine rollout, of anything Fauci's saying, Joe Biden, the white, they're not doing any of that.
Why is it that a comedian, why is it that this comedian and Russell Brand, he's the other, also a comedian, are the only two prominent people on YouTube that consider themselves left that are doing this?
Of course, Max Blumenthal.
Why is that?
What are they?
Because they're all a bunch of fucking nutless wonders.
They're all a bunch of fucking nutless wonders.
They're going to tell you to vote for these same criminals that gave you this situation.
They're going to do it and they're going to never stop doing it.
Why?
I'm telling you why.
They're fucking nutless wonders.
That is why.
I got to go on stage every night as a comedian and stick my chin out and get it kicked in by a hundred drunks.
So that's why I have a little more nuts than those fucking pukes that you're also watching.
In fairness, those drunks are more reasonable, kind-hearted people than your average Twitter social media comedian.
You can reason with a comedy audience.
You can't reason with Twitter, people who are in the Democratic Party cult.
There's no reasoning with those people.
And by the way, this is bipartisan.
Right now, the Democrats are complete control.
If the Republicans were in complete control, they'd be doing the same goddamn thing.
Although Trump says he wouldn't push mandates, but he did say he got his booster.
Yeah, it's a true.
The reason I got vaccinated was because Trump said it's terrific.
Is that bad?
I got it, but not for the right reason.
I didn't show my work right.
Oh, that still makes you a prick.
You're still a prick.
You did it because Trump was a booster because Trump said.
No, you're not supposed to do that.
You're supposed to not like Trump and still get the booster.
Yeah.
And now I like kid cages because they're Bidens.
Yes, that's all I switch when I'm supposed to.
I switch what I'm supposed to.
I switch my principles.
Yeah.
So did you really get a booster?
No.
Oh, okay.
I mean, not for the Omicron thing so crazy.
You know, you're not the only person.
Like, the information is out there.
It's not that certain.
Here's what blows my mind when I, especially when I watch you talk about this, is you're quoting the actual people you're supposed to listen to.
And what becomes apparent is you're not even supposed to be paying attention to those people.
You're supposed to just do the thing we said.
Yes.
Don't pay attention to what Fauci said.
Like, just know this is what we're saying now.
And not only are you not supposed to read it, you're supposed to not remember it.
Like, I've never, it's like, I'm not even bright.
I can remember things.
Like, I'm trying not to.
I smoke a lot of pop, but it doesn't work.
You're not supposed to remember that Fauci lied to you about mass herd immunity, gain of function, two weeks to flatten the curve.
This gives you sterility.
If you get vaccinated, you go back to your regular life.
Blah, blah, blah.
We're going to end the pandemic.
Jimmy, do you remember?
I mean, I just listened.
I was talking to somebody the other day.
At the beginning of this, it was racist to even worry that coronavirus, that it was a thing.
If you were even worried about the virus at all, it's racist.
Because Nancy Pelosi went to Chinatown in San Francisco in February and told people, come down to Chinatown.
Don't be a race.
That's right.
You are 100% right.
Isn't that wild?
And now those same people are like online going to lock us down, Daddy.
Those same people.
Well, those same people who think it's horrible to show an ID to go vote.
Those are the same people who want you to have to show an ID to eat chicken parmesan.
I didn't even think.
What?
They don't want you to vote, but ID to get a burrito.
They don't have any problem with that.
You should have a chip in your arm to get a ghosty Spider-Man.
Wait till they start.
Wait till they start mandating chips.
Wait till you see those people who are pro-chip mandators.
I bet that's coming.
I'm sure.
I'm sure.
It'll just make my life easier.
I'm just chips.
Don't be a prick.
Don't be a prick.
Get chipped, right?
That'll be the same.
Why are you afraid?
Were you a January 6th?
Oh, you see, Bob's Burgers fired that guy who was at January 6th?
I call a friend who knows.
He didn't get banned.
That article is also sensational and stupid.
I mean, he might have been at the thing, but the thing of he's banned and all that, that's all like me.
That's not real.
I think they just don't know where he is right now.
Oh, okay.
Oh, he maybe went underground.
I don't know.
It's crazy to me.
I was a big fan of Mr. Show, so it was just wild to me.
Like, even if you thought, first of all, if you're mad because you think the election is rigged, like, what did you not know it was rigged?
Don't you remember Al Gore and George Bush?
Like, when the hell did you think it wasn't?
When is this?
They're all rigged.
First of all, you got the Electoral College is the biggest rigger.
Yeah, what do you think that is?
Well, I think they don't understand.
The word rigged to them means like Russia reprogrammed the mission.
You know what I mean?
I don't think when I say rigged, I mean the entire system is set up to push it one way or the other.
They don't really even have to do hacking.
And so I'm sure that happens too, but it's rigged.
It's so obviously rigged and it has been.
Why do you think there's only two parties?
Why do you think there's only two parties?
Why do you think Joe Biden is our president?
You don't think that's a rigging?
You don't think that.
So in China, the party gets to pick who you get to vote for.
In America, Wall Street does.
That's right.
Wall Street gets to pick.
Do you think that we're going to get a candidate that Wall Street was against?
That's why we didn't get Bernie Sanders.
We got Joe Biden, and before that, we got Hillary Clinton.
We're never going to get, our candidates are selected for us by corporations and Wall Street.
Literally selected.
I'm not making this up.
Barack Obama's entire cabinet came from an email from inside Citigroup.
His entire cabinet was released by Wiki, revealed by Wikileaks, came from an email from Citigroup.
That's who chooses the presidency and our governments.
Kurt, go ahead.
I just like when you think of all the things of China that you hear that I don't want to be here.
But I mean, it's amazing.
They're going to, we're going to have, I don't even want to look up how their elections work because I'm afraid it's going to, I'm afraid I'm going to see it's really not that much worse than right.
Like I'm I actually don't want to know like what that is.
Like we actually have in some way.
Here's something I like about China.
I know where I'm like, don't make me love you, China.
When a billionaire starts trying to flex influence, they just disappear.
Now, I don't know if that's good legally, but emotionally, I have to say, it's very appealing.
Yeah.
Oh, Bill Gates just disappeared.
Now he doesn't have all these ambitions to be a farmer anymore.
Huh.
Farmland's going back to the farmers in America.
Isn't that something?
Wouldn't that be something?
Like, you can just spend your stupid billions of dollars there.
Because what are you going to do with billions of dollars?
Buy crap?
That's all you're allowed to do there.
You're not allowed to influence how the country goes because that's what the billions are for.
That is what the billions are for.
So you can have power.
So why does Bill Gates and Jeffrey Jeff Bezos and Jeffrey Katzenberg, why do they still want to make more billions for power?
That's what it is.
At that point, you're never going to spend that money.
You could not, I dare you to try to spend a billion dollars, let alone a hundred of them.
Oh my God, the phones are again.
Who is it?
Hi, Jimmy.
Oh, hi, it's Professor Chomsky.
Please call me Nomi.
Okay.
Hey, Nomi.
You've been saying some pretty crazy stuff lately about the unvaccinated, and a lot of people think that you've actually lost your mind.
Sorry.
Everything I said was logical in response to the unvaccinated vermin who will overrun our homeland with their disease and perversion.
See, this is what I'm talking about right there.
People took offense to that framing of people who are unvaccinated, as you said, wanting to kill us.
That's incredibly irresponsible and reckless and could even incite violence.
What if that happens?
What if you incited violence?
How would you feel?
I probably feel like AOC after a bunch of unvaccinated boogaloos and broke into a building she was a safe distance from, terrified.
No, me.
That's horrible.
I know.
She had to hide in a closet and then she heard a scary man's voice say, where is she?
And it turned out to be, it was the pizza guy with her lunch.
Jimmy, absolutely no one should go through that.
You said you were going to, you favored starving the unvaccinated to death.
Well, Jimmy, feed a cold, starve the flu.
No, I'm not starving them to death.
I'm using the North Korean method of feeding them.
What?
Now you're endorsing North Korean methods?
Jimmy, the North Koreans have figured out the exact minimum number of calories needed to survive.
So if the unvaxed want to try and kill us all, then we have the right to defend ourselves and put them in camps and keep them on the edge of starvation.
It's as simple as that.
What happened to you, Noam?
I looked upon you like I looked upon the FDR.
I'm actually very similar to FDR.
Because you're for the workers and the New Deal?
Because I can barely walk.
Also, I want to use state power and round up people I don't like and put them in tournament camps.
Okay, Noam.
Okay.
