Time Text
Here we're going to Sacramento back here in Los Angeles.
Bakersfield, Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Tulsa, Oklahoma City.
go to jimmydorkcomedy.com for a link for all the tickets for all our shows.
*phone rings* Hey, hello, this, Jimmy.
Who's this?
Greetings, Mr. Doer.
This is Klaus Schwab of the World Birth Economic Forum.
Wow, okay.
Well, hello, Mr. Schwab.
Why are you calling today?
To warn you that you are being monitored.
Ha ha ha ha.
Monitored by whom?
The World Economic Forum.
Wait, by monitored, you mean you're watching my completely free and public YouTube show?
Thanks for the hits, I guess.
You are not welcome.
Why are you monitoring me?
You have been identified by the World Economic Forum as an SME or subversive media entity, which is unfortunate.
At one point, we thought you might be a suitable candidate for a young media leader, but unfortunately, this time is past.
Young media leader?
A media entity that puts forth a progressive view of world events dedicated to the development of a carbon-neutral, sustainable economy and ecology, similar to our Young Global Leaders Initiative, which includes Justin Trudeau.
Our young media leaders would be 100% compliant with the vision of the World Economic Forum, much like the young and very judicious Mr. Trudeau.
So, people are just supposed to do what you tell them.
Our vision is the way.
straight poppy.
So, when you say you say trademark, because you have to.
That's your trademark saying we have trademarked that expression.
What is it again?
Our vision is the way.
Do you have to say trademark again?
Readmark.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You guys just have all the answers, huh?
Yes.
Well, these Dutch farmers don't seem to feel that way.
The state of affairs in the Netherlands is admittedly an unfortunate example of situation containment failure.
Yes.
The projection of thesis of the public buildings is not an aim of the World Economic Forum.
Okay, I do believe you there, but these farmers are having their livelihood stripped of them because of your policies.
Our policies, or should I say, the Dutch policies that we dictate to them exist to help protect our planet's fragile ecosystem.
The type of factory farming practiced in parts of the Netherlands must be stopped.
Look, I fully understand the environmental problems of factory farming and meat production, but you can't just change this overnight.
There's got to be a middle way, a plan for transition.
No, there is no time.
Then there won't be able to.
They won't be able to produce enough meat to meet demand, and then they're going to go out of business.
Mr. Dor, the sooner the world population realizes that in order to save our planet, meat consumption must be reduced drastically, the better off all of us will be.
Meat must go away as a staple food for much of the world population.
Protein replacements such as lentils and insects present a much more sustainable future.
Are you a vegetarian yourself?
Of course not, Mr. Dora.
I had sour partner at Knockworth for breakfast today.
That's just the height of hypocrisy, isn't it?
Not if we are being realistic.
The wealthy will always have will always be able to afford meat, and they always have.
This idea that all people at all wrongs of the socio-economic ladder should eat meat is a folly of the modern age.
The World Economic Forum calls for a return to a more ecologically sustainable economy, where only the elite eat meat on a regular basis.
Wow, okay.
Well, while you're eating your New York strip, Philly!
While you're eating your filet, these farmers go broke and they lose their farms.
Then what?
The World Economic Forum is prepared to take control of these farms in the immediate transition to sustainable agricultural models.
And I say, where did the farmers go?
We will need labor for these farms naturally.
The farmers may remain on these properties and continue to work the lands for a stipend.
Little of their life will change except the ownership of the land.
So this situation just places you in a position to be a massive landover and the landowner in the Netherlands, right?
I assure you, we already are, Mr. Dor.
Well, where and how is this sort of thing planned?
And who plans it?
In no reality, would I ever deign to explain such things to you?
But this is a comedy sketch, so I will.
These things are planned at the headquarters of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in our annual meeting.
We have publicly stated that the future of the world will not be decided by individual democracies, but self-selected elites of government and international commerce.
Such people congregate at the meeting, analyze data, and based on this and existing models, planned a course in the next year.
Then we repair to the lair for rituals.
The lair are you really surprised?
Yes.
We take the elevator to the secret basement beneath the basement and board a train.
The train travels underground to the Matterhorn, the tallest peak in the Swiss Alps.
The Matterhorn has been completely hollowed out and replaced with luxury accommodations and living quarters, as well as an amphitheater where the rituals are conducted.
Even though I have witnessed these rituals dozens upon dozens of times, I lack the ability to fully articulate the depravity and ghastly nature of the proceedings.
So I will forbear from even attempting such.
Okay, my God.
I should also make you aware that the lair is stocked with enough food and water for a thousand years.
By now, two generations of human beings have been born and raised inside of it, and by design, know nothing of the outside world, even its existence.
These workers and their descendants will provide a hereditary survival class, and it is here that we, the elite and our families, will repair should environmental collapse become inevitable.
Wow.
Okay.
So, you see, Mr. Dora, I will be fine, but I do not see a Mr. and Mrs. Stan Store on the guest list, let alone Brownie.
So, I would urge you not to stand in the way of our initiatives to save this planet.
You do so at your own peril and the rest of humanity.
Wow, it seems like you really have everyone's best interests in mind.
Conform or die.
We will continue to monitor your video outfit on YouTube.
We are aware of your rumble as well.
Be prepared to have material that we deem unuseful removed from these platforms.
Oh, so it's you guys who do the censoring.
No, YouTube does it.
We just tell them which ones.
In fact, prepare for this video to be mysteriously removed itself.
Because I'm always sort of embarrassed when it's optimistic.
Fuck this up, say why.
Oh, okay.
Why?
Because I'm always sort of embarrassed when it's obvious that I couldn't find a good way to end the sketch.
Fourth wall!
Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
Yeah!
Establishment media sets of artists fighting.
So good luck.
Bullshit we can't afford when fomenting this world.
Watch and see as a jackal.
Comedy who speeds and jumps the medium and hits him head on.
It's the chimney tour show.
It's our main man, Hunter Biden.
Now, I just now, people say, Jimmy, why are you beating up on a guy who has a drug problem?
We all know that there, but for the grace of God, go I. And I'm with you.
I don't make fun of Hunter Biden for having a drug problem or being a crack addict.
Maybe I maybe I make fun of him for filming a lot of it.
Can you still make fun of someone for filming it?
I think you can, right, Kurt?
I mean, if not for the filming part, I want to hang out with him.
I just don't want to be narced on by his laptop.
That's right.
He's this guy.
He shows bad judgment.
I want to eat a sandwich off a chick's head on a video that I recorded.
What kind of yes, I've seen a lot.
You know what?
Yeah, we should have had all those.
The one where the girl has the bag over her head, the red bag over her head.
What was that about?
It's crack, man.
Well, I don't want to spoil this great key.
Well, anyway, 4chan explodes after user allegedly cracks Hunter Biden's iCloud.
Can somebody tell this kid about two-factor authentication?
Guys, you got to do that two-factor.
Jesus.
They can get into everything.
Your phone.
Yes.
A user on 4chan claims to have hacked into the iCloud of Hunter Biden's latest iPhone, sending the site into a dizzy as users trawled, trawled, through the data dump.
Trawled?
Yeah, trolled.
I've never saw that word or heard it.
I heard trolled.
Trolling for trolled.
I guess.
Hey, Siri.
What's the definition of troll?
As a verb, troll means fish with a troll net or saint.
Okay.
Do you want to hear the next one?
No, no, thank you.
In the post, the user said that they gained access to voicemails, videos, voice recordings, pictures, etc., of Joe.
They also said they'd compromised on an iPad belonging to him as well.
When told about the hacking, Biden said, Four Chinese guys, are you sure it wasn't the Russia guy, Dracula Puntang?
We're making fun of Joe Biden's demented state.
The news exploded on 4chan with posters attempting to find whatever they could in the data, which some allege include additional photos of Hunter using drugs.
They do include them, having sex with women and conducting lurid searches on porn site.
Okay.
The frenzy is similar to the uproar over Hunter Biden's laptop, which was released in the run-up to the 2020 election and included information that detailed his dealings in Ukraine.
Now, get this line: some of the data within it did not match up to President Joe Biden's denials about not being involved in his son's foreign policy.
You know, what would have been surprising if it actually did match up?
That would have been surprising.
That would have been news.
Oh, no, Joe's denial perfectly fits what happened.
It doesn't.
It talks that way.
His denial did not match up.
So he lied about it, is what you're saying.
Yeah, he lied about it.
And whoever wrote this over at Daily Dot, you know, is part of the corporate media that's owned by a handful of billionaires who want to shill for Joe Biden.
And that's what that line is.
That's a funny line.
Can you imagine writing that line?
I can imagine the Daily Dot writing that line.
I love how much they really don't want to cover it, but it's just too good.
You can't knock it.
Even they got to cover it, right?
You just put a lot of allegiance, you know.
This iPhone release, however, is allegedly different from the data on Hunter's laptop.
As they scoured the data, 4chan users thought they uncovered President Biden's phone number, which they claim Hunter had him listed as Pedo Pete.
It's a perfect code name.
Nobody will ever guess.
While there's no proof to back that up, his code name for his father in his phone was Pedo Pete.
You can't uncover that.
Well, there's no proof to back that up.
Biden did allegedly go by Peter Henderson in contact with his son.
What?
Joe Biden referred to himself as Peter Henderson when talking with his son Hunter?
It's filming Tom Clancy novel.
Wow.
Okay, according to one unverified claim, 4chan users were sending the phone number allegedly belonging to President Biden memes.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for a god.
It's also unclear if the data released is real.
By the way, I'm going to show you the video of him weighing his crack.
I don't mean to bury the lead, but I think I did.
Let's Get to it.
Let's get to him.
Let's get to him weighing his crack.
Here he is.
Who does this?
Who videotapes himself weighing his crack?
It's like the Richard Nixon of crackheads.
Yes.
Yes.
The Richard.
That's a perfect.
Without the bag.
Two-point you.
There you go.
His crumpled up cheetah panties on the floor.
Yes.
That's what the girl says.
Yes.
Oh, wait a minute.
Yes.
Two-point.
Zero seven.
Without the bag.
Without the bag.
You talk about these?
Those are his.
All right.
Now let's go back to why this is okay to make fun of him for and why him and his father are pieces of it, right?
Why do you think, why do you think it's okay to ridicule Hunter Biden and Joe Biden about his crack use?
I'll tell you why.
Here's why.
If you have a piece of crack cocaine no bigger than this quarter that I'm holding in my hand, one quarter of one dollar, we passed a law through the leadership of Senator Thurman and myself and others, a law that says if you're caught with that, you go to jail for five years.
You get no probation.
You get nothing other than five years in jail.
Judge doesn't have a choice.
So why don't you demand that your kid gets put in jail for five years because you demanded every other person's kid get put in jail for five years for being caught with a little pit of crack.
Now, he had way more than that.
So he should probably get 10 or 15 or 20 years.
Why isn't Joe Biden being consistent?
Why is there a double standard for Joe Biden's kid, but a different standard for a black kid or anybody else's kid?
The reason why blacks are incarcerated is because of Joe Biden at higher rates than the rest of the population is exactly that.
Because Joe Biden wrote that crime bill and he was bragging about it.
Watch, he's going to brag about it more.
Under our forfeiture statutes, you can, the government can, take everything you own.
Everything from your car to your house, your bank account, not merely what they confiscate in terms of the dollars from the transaction that you've just got caught engaging in.
They can take everything.
I don't care.
So does Joe Biden now advocating for his son to be bankrupted by the government for the government to come in and take his bank accounts, his house, his cars, and his everything?
That civil forfeiture is one of the biggest pieces of garbage things that's ever.
I didn't even know he was that.
He's always bragging about some awful calamity.
That's right.
And that's the guy you voted for as the antidote to Trump.
That's the guy you voted for as the antidote to Trump, the guy who wants to lock up black and brown people in a highly biased way.
So there's more to this.
Why they become a sociopath.
Here, this is the important part.
So this is why, this is why Joe Biden and his son are horrible human beings and hypocrites of the highest order.
And there's no punishment good enough for both of them.
Here we go.
They can take everything.
I don't care why they become a sociopath.
We have an obligation to cordon them off from the rest of society.
They are in jail.
Does it matter?
I don't care why he's a crackhead.
He should be in jail.
That's what Joe Biden's saying about your kid, about my kid, about you, but not his kid.
Isn't that something I was told Donald Trump would do?
Isn't that a Trumpian thing to do to have an unbelievable 100% different standard for your kid than for the rest of the world?
This is Joe Biden talking tough.
Before his kid was a crackhead, that's him talking tough.
And now is there a movement for him to let all the nonviolent drug offenders out of jail?
No.
Does he want to let people who are in jail just like his kid out of jail?
No.
He wants them to stay in jail.
But his kid should, we should have compassion for his kid, for Hunter Biden, the corrupt drug addict, crackhead, lying hypocrite of privilege, Hunter Biden.
We're supposed to feel sorry for him.
I don't feel sorry for him.
By Joe Biden standard, Hunter Biden should be in prison and have all of his money taken away from him.
That's what should happen to Hunter Biden.
If I was Joe Biden, that's what I would be wanting to have happen.
I would want every penny taken away from Hunter Biden, and I'd want him put in prison.
I want his house taken away.
I want his car taken away.
I want his bank accounts taken away.
Anything he owns, I want taken away, and then he has to go to prison.
That's what Joe Biden would say if it wasn't his own kid.
And that's why they're pieces of garbage.
And that's who you're ruled by.
You're ruled by sociopaths.
And that's what Joe Biden is.
A demented sociopath.
That's who's running this country.
He's more demented and more sociopathic than any president I've ever seen.
Certainly more than Trump.
Remember, they were saying Trump was demented?
He's way more demented than Trump.
When he wasn't demented, it was much worse.
Yeah.
So here, I'll go back and now we'll cover some more of this stuff.
I mean, his son did serve in the Navy, so I give him that.
Well, there's no proof to back that up.
Biden did allegedly go by Peter Henry.
Henderson, there it is.
It's also unclear if the, did we already cover this?
I think we did.
After the original post dropped, users of 4chan, wary of censorship on even the most notorious of free speech sites, created numerous backups and torrents of the database, ensuring the information will continue to float around the web.
So he videotaped himself weighing the crack.
Who does that?
I mean, it's very historical.
It's a very historical way to do crack.
And then there's his father.
Let's watch it again.
If you have a Piece of crack cocaine, no bigger than this quarter that I'm holding in my hand.
One quarter of one dollar.
We passed a law through the leadership of Senator Thurman and myself and others, a law that says if you're caught with that, you go to jail for five years.
You get no probation.
You get nothing other than five years in jail.
Judge doesn't have a choice.
Under our forfeiture statutes, you can, the government can, take everything you own.
Everything from your car to your house, your bank account, not merely what they confiscate in terms of the dollars from the transaction that you just got caught engaging in.
They can take everything.
I don't care why they become a sociopath.
We have an obligation to cordon them off from the rest of society.
They are in jail.
Away from my mother, your husband, our families.
So I don't want to ask, what made them do this?
They must be taken off the street.
There he is.
And that's after he had his hair transplant.
I was going to ask, is that because he's got like a squirrel pelt now?
Yeah, now he had a break.
Like a coonskin cap like David Crockett.
Yeah.
Here's what Misty Putin says.
Remember when the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation and people got banned, suspended for talking about it?
That was fun.
I remember the warning, it might be hacked materials.
That's right.
I was like, oh, I better not look at that.
By the way, if you want to talk about election interference, this is it.
All the major news outlets and social media giants conspired to bury this story to protect Joe Biden.
Well, Putin's buddy would say that.
Yeah.
Glenn Greenwald says materials from Hunter Biden's laptop about his and his father's pursuit of business deals in China and Ukraine and elsewhere are highly relevant.
That's why pre-election CIA lies and big tech censorship were so grave.
Materials about his drug use and sex life absent more are not.
I would disagree.
I would disagree with Glenn.
This is where I'm way smarter than him.
laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter And I just showed you why.
Why it's okay.
Why that is relevant.
It is super relevant.
Half the country is locked up because of crack cocaine because of Joe Biden.
Joe Biden goes about hunting, like, hey, don't kick a guy when he's down, when he's down.
Right?
His resume is.
I've never even smoked crack, and I'll never have a resume like his son.
I'll never sit on an energy board.
An energy board.
Crack, it sounds like winners smoke crack to me.
So there you have it.
There's Hunter Biden weighing his crack.
There's a lot more pictures.
Because they'll charge you with the bag, dude.
Did you see the picture of him?
He's smoking, he's eating a sandwich, and he's got a girl tied up in a hood over her head next to him.
Yeah, that's the thing I was laughing about.
What was that?
Has anybody talked about that?
What that was?
I mean, I don't think it wasn't consensual.
There are probably a couple of crackheads doing weird crackheads.
Seriously, like, you know.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm not.
I know.
It looked like a fancy bag that you get for that purpose.
Jesus.

Malcolm Fleshner's here.
Hi, Malcolm.
Hi, Jimmy.
How are you today?
I'm doing well.
Should we, let's not, should we, should we do the punchline and tell people, or should we wait to tell people?
Let's wait.
I don't think it's like it's a huge reveal.
Well, Malcolm.
I'll follow your lead.
Malcolm has Omicron BA5.
Yes.
Yes, I do.
Malcolm's entire family has Omicron BA5.
Yeah, we got a nice little COVID bubble.
My wife has it.
I have it.
My three children have it.
You should come over, Jimmy.
How come I don't see you?
You should come around.
I should come over and get it again.
Come over and hang out.
Now, why do I bring this?
So why do I mention that his whole family has COVID BA5 in him?
Because CNN is telling people that it's the worst variant.
It says the worst variant is here, and they mean BA5.
And why do they put it in quotes?
Because it's not true.
Now, is it the worst variant of Omicron?
Yes.
But they make it seem like they don't say that in the headline, do they?
The worst variant of Omicron.
They say the worst variant, and then they leave it vague.
Why do you think they do that?
Well, maybe they're, you know, it's sort of like the comic book guy, comic bookstore guy from The Simpsons.
It's sarcastic.
Worst variant ever.
You know, like it's not a very good variant.
It's really not living up to the hype.
Okay, so I just want to tell you that they call it the worst variant.
But how long does it take them in this story to tell you what the severity of the illness is caused by this variant that they call the worst?
Do you want to see how long it takes for them to tell you that?
Because what they do is they spend the first eight paragraphs fear-mongering.
Watch this.
So here's how long it takes.
Oh my God.
Look at this.
It's kill.
Everybody's dying.
The whole thing.
Everybody's getting it.
In Europe, things are going to hell.
Everybody's watching out for it.
It's horrible.
And then all, oh, my God, 1 million new cases every day.
And then finally, down here, finally, right here, it tells you what makes BA5 different.
Finally, they get down there.
And they still haven't told you what the severity of the illness is yet.
Still.
So watch this.
So this is what the 5 different?
Eric Topol, a cardiologist and professor of molecular.
So, what they spend the whole article doing is stuff like this, scaring you.
Saying some experts think there could be as many as 1 million new infections every day in the United States, 10 times higher than the official count.
As for how to manage the new wave, they urged Americans to get $50, get a second booster.
So, that was all those paragraphs that I showed you was full of stuff like this.
And then finally, you got down to like whatever that was, eighth or ninth paragraph.
Then they finally decided to tell you what makes this variant different.
The worst variant.
What makes it different?
It takes immune escape already extensive to the next level.
And as a function of that, enhanced transmissibility well beyond earlier versions of Omicron.
So they're saying what makes it the worst isn't that it makes you sicker.
They're saying what makes it the worst, finally in paragraph nine is that it is, it makes it more transmissible.
Not that it's more deadly, but that it's more transmissible.
That's what makes it the worst.
And they spend eight, nine paragraphs scaring the bejesus out of you about that and using all this carefully structured words to leave out what the severity of the illness is.
So let's go, let's go on more.
In other words, BA5 can easily evade immunity from previous infections and vaccines, increasing the risk of reinfection.
Though the variant, here it is, finally, whoa, hold on.
Though the variant does not appear to lead to more severe illness, what paragraph did they put that in?
They call it the worst variant is here.
Look at this.
The worst variant is here.
Two different headlines.
And then finally, in paragraph nine, though, the variant does not appear to lead to more severe illness.
It's almost like they're disappointed.
Yes.
Believe me, because if it did, that would be the first sentence.
So they're listening to this guy, Topol.
And if you ever see this guy, this Dr. Topol, his name is Eric Topol.
He's a cardiologist and professor of molecular medicine at Scripps Research and professional scaremonger about anything related to COVID.
Oh.
There is this guy who I retweeted.
I just remembered there's this doctor from Johns Hopkins, this virologist, who just tweeted out a thread about why the BA5 is good news.
There's good news about COVID, and there isn't a reason you should be less scared.
David Dowdy, this guy is from Johns Hopkins.
He's a virologist.
He says, does it make sense to use bivalent vaccines this winter?
Yes, circulating strains will likely be Omicron descendants, meaning bivalent.
The current vaccine still prevent new vaccines will not be game changers.
Okay.
And then he says, viruses evolve, but our immune system also adapts.
One can always focus on the virus for bad news, but the overall trend is good news.
April through June, 2022 was the least deadly three-month period since the pandemic started, even as transmission has risen.
You can look at it like that.
Gradual rise.
Whereas Omicron fully established itself in one month, BA5 has taken two months to get to 50%.
And the size of the wave has been much smaller, meaning that any advantage BA5 has over other sub-variants is very small compared to the advantage Omicron had over Delta.
We already did that.
Although hospitalizations across the U.S. are rising, they have already stabilized in places that had a larger BA2 wave, New York and below, suggesting that the rise seen in other places is mostly because of less immunity, not a new sub-variant.
Although hospitalizations across the U.S. are, okay, we just did that.
COVID transmission is as high now as it's ever been, except last winter.
So not much room for transmissions to go higher.
Yet COVID death rate is lower than for the flu in an average pre-pandemic season.
And did you just see that goddamn CNN report?
Could we see more deaths from the flu than COVID this coming winter?
Possibly.
Quick comment on long COVID, long COVID is real and for some devastating, but long COVID is not one thing.
And it can be weeks of a cough or a debilitating brain fog and can happen with any infection.
As COVID gets milder, not sure long COVID versus long flu deserves a special treatment.
In summary, BA5 is now the dominant sub-variant in the United States, but deaths are stable and low.
Hospitalizations are stable in areas with larger BA2 waves.
And despite transmission levels, that can't go too much higher.
Meaning, we shouldn't be too pessimistic about the upcoming winter.
That does not get a lot of traction.
And that guy is a virologist from Johns Hopkins University.
And so now you know the other side of the story.
Now I gave you both sides.
I provided context.
All right.
So anyway, so they keep going to this guy, and he's calling it the worst version of the virus we've seen, which sounds scary, but they don't tell you, they don't tell you it does not lead to more severe illness.
And I'm not supposed to, and if I question that or point this out, everybody on YouTube and the establishment press and comedy calls me an anti-vaxxer for pointing out that the government is and their corporate and the big pharmaceutical media are lying to you and scaremongering you for profit that Malcolm would you have BA5 Omicron how do you feel I
feel like i i had to monday was not great but i was uh you know my employer thankfully allowed me to put in a full day actually gave me a double workload and i was able to do that and i was very appreciative of that that uh that i wasn't uh deemed that i would be unable to unable to do my my full job and then some not monday no monday if you would have called in sick that would have been your 17th day in a row on vacation yeah i did i came back from vacation and i i brought back as a as a
memento COVID so yeah so Monday was not great Tuesday was was worse and I'm glad we didn't have a stream on Tuesday because that would have been tough to do but then today I'm you know I'm I'm mostly back and by tomorrow I expect to be fine and obviously my experience is not tell me about everybody in my family also similar similarly everybody in my family seems to be recovering relatively quickly.
And I do have one member of my household who is immunocompromised, so we're concerned about him, but he recovered quicker than anybody else.
So, and there's varying vaccination levels in terms of boosters in my household, and that seems to have had no effect either.
Huh.
But personally, I would be considered, I guess, unvaccinated at this point because I haven't had any sort of job in well over a year, I think.
So, here, okay.
I'm sure there are some people who are experiencing it.
There's hospitalizations and so on and so forth.
So, here's what Eric Topol says.
He says that in an interview with CNN, Topol said that given the extent of BA5's immune evasion, he expects to see an escalation in hospitalizations, as we've seen in Europe and elsewhere, that the variant has taken root.
Again, not that the strain is more severe disease, just that since more people are going to get it, more people who are vulnerable and frail and fragile are going to get it.
And elderly and stuff like that are going to get it, and they're going to be more like that.
So, that's okay.
One good thing is, again, this is buried in like paragraph 9, 10.
One good thing is it doesn't appear to be accompanied by the ICU emissions and the deaths as previous variants, but this is definitely concerning.
Oh, yeah, never, there's never a day not to be shitting your pants over COVID.
One good thing is it doesn't appear to be accompanied by ICU emissions and the deaths.
Well, the ICU admissions, as you pointed out, are not profitable.
So that's why it's a good thing.
Yeah, it's a very good thing.
And then they tell you, and then the rest of the article, which was before this, actually, the important part, was all about telling you to take your vaccine.
Only one in four adults, U.S. over 50 have gotten their boosters as recommended.
Only one in four.
So apparently, people are thinking differently.
U.S. health officials are urgently working on a plan to allow second COVID-19 boosters for all adults.
So when they say it's going to increase hospitalizations, you know what Eric Topal didn't tell me in that interview?
You know what CNN didn't tell me?
Hospitalizations of who?
Hospitalizations of people over 90?
Hospitalizations of people over 80?
Hospitalizations of people over 80 with comorbidities and who are obese?
Or how about people over 75 who are obese with COVID?
Who is being hospitalized?
They don't tell you.
Well, in the video, the video that accompanies this story, John Lemon talks to the doctor and the doctors talk about how we're trying to push boosters for under 50.
Yeah.
And, but doesn't say that is the target.
That's the demographic that is suffering are hospitalizations and deaths.
So then Don Lemon interviews this.
I'm going to call him Dr. Creepy because just you tell me if this guy is doing something creepy the way he keeps turning.
Watch this.
Here we go.
The whole country is here.
And the thing I want you to, this is hard to notice, but try to notice what they're not talking about.
I'll tell you what they're not talking about.
Spoiler alert.
They're not talking about the severity of illness.
Look at how they fearmonger this without talk telling you it is not any more severe than any of the other strains.
Watch this.
Red.
And that's just the cases that we know about, since I said a lot of people aren't testing.
What is going on with this new variant, doctor?
Well, it's about as contagious as measles.
And it has the most.
So right away, you think, measles, I don't want measles.
That's why they do that.
So they make you think of this virus as bad as measles.
That's what that's what that's about.
Okay.
Immune evasion of any variant we've seen.
And, you know, while sort of a lot of people claim victory in February and municipalities dropped their mitigation mask mandates, the virus kept mutating and it mutated and it mutated.
And now there's BA5.
And our vaccines aren't really very good.
He makes it sound like mutations are deadly.
And it mutated.
Yeah, that sometimes mutations are good.
Like when it mutated from Delta to Omicron, it became less severe disease.
So he makes all mutations sound evil and wicked and scary.
Do you see what is happening on CNN still?
Still, and still no critique of this shit from anybody else.
It's amazing.
With preventing youth from getting infected, thankfully, and luckily, they're still really good at preventing youth from getting super sick or needing to be hospitalized or even dying.
So our vaccines have really held for that, but they haven't really.
So he's saying the vaccines still keep you from getting super sick from Omicron, something that hasn't made a lot of, that is not making people super sick in general compared to the previous strains.
Do you see, you see what's, I don't, do I have to, I don't have to point it out.
Okay.
Held very well now for infection.
And if you have not had COVID in the past and you go into a crowded place now, you are likely to come out with BA5.
Wow.
So I know they're working on this plan to allow second COVID boosters for adults.
You know, that fourth shot.
But considering how evasive this variant is to the vaccine and prior infection, how much do you think it's going to, that fourth shot will help?
Yeah, well, what I think it will do, and I think what we know it will do, is help prevent serious illness.
What we're really trying to do is prevent people from being hospitalized.
Does BA5 cause serious illness?
The rest of the article says that there's nobody going into the ICU because of it.
So that's kind of, do you have a solution for a problem that doesn't exist?
And over the last month, hospitalizations have increased, basically doubled over the last month.
Yeah, what?
From an all-time low, you mean?
And how much higher are the hospitalizations as compared to, like, say, a regular flu season?
And who is being hospitalized?
Again, is it obese elderly people who are diabetic or is it 18-year-old soccer players?
Who is being?
They were leaving a lot of this out, and they're also leaving out the severity of the illness.
Here we go.
And over the last couple of weeks, we've seen deaths start to creep up as well.
And although we're nowhere near where we were, you know, back in December or January, still about 300 people are dying every day, about 2,000 people a week.
And adding the ability to...
And is that worldwide?
And again, is that higher than normal?
Again, none of these numbers are in context, but they're all given to you, delivered to you at the heightened to have the biggest impact and the biggest scare.
Sort of.
The most inflammatory way you could say it, he's saying it.
Boost antibodies in people under the age of 50 who have not yet gotten a second booster should help that group prevent serious illness and hospitalization or death.
So I think it's a good idea.
In the fall, we'll probably see a new version of the vaccine, which includes What's it going to include?
Protection against BA5.
It'll include protection against BA5, which is the variant we have now.
And I'm sure it will mutate by the time they have a vaccine for something else.
We've gone from BA1 to BA5 pretty quickly.
Don't you think we're going to be at BA6 and 7 by the time they have that vaccine for BA5?
Wouldn't it just make sense since the vaccine now, he's saying, doesn't.
You see what I'm saying?
You see what I'm saying?
Well, I'll be here until the fall, probably.
So there's your CNN coverage.
You still want to keep getting your news about anything from those people?
By the way, they're funded by Big Pharma.
The FDA gets 70% of their money from Big Pharma.
Follow the money.
And you know, when people say trust science, you're not supposed to trust science.
You're supposed to question science.
That's how science works.
It's not a religion.
I don't have to trust that my priest is telling me the truth.
I don't have to trust that a scientist is telling me the truth.
There's supposed to be data, and it's supposed to be peer-reviewed, and people are supposed to vigorously question the data, the science.
That's how science is supposed to be.
You can wait 75 years, Jimmy.
Yeah.
And you'll get all the data.
Yeah.
That's how science works.
Science works, doesn't work by not questioning it.
That's how you make progress in science.
You keep questioning old assumptions.
Otherwise, we'd still be thinking about gravity in the way Newton did, as opposed to the way Einstein did.
Einstein was anti-science.
All right.
So there you go.
Go watch CNN and make sure you bring a diaper because you're going to be shitting your pants.
*Bell rings*
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jimmy is present, Joe Biden.
Ah, hi, Mr. President.
How are things going, pal?
Things are going fantastic.
Really?
No.
Oh, sorry.
Yes.
That's just a force of habit when I'm talking to you.
Yes, the future is so bright.
I have to wear shades.
Tim Buck III said that.
A very wise man.
And I'm talking about looking forward to 2024.
Is that so?
You haven't announced your candidacy yet, I've noticed.
Well, yeah, but don't be dumb.
What?
Of course I'm running.
Who would think I wouldn't run?
Well, a lot of people think you shouldn't run, that you're simply going to be too old.
82 years old.
Do you really have the stamina to be commander-in-chief into your mid-80s to run a campaign and govern for well over a year?
Jimmy, I have a standard to do shit you couldn't even imagine.
Anyone who doesn't know that is a straight-up dope.
Just bonkers much for brains.
Yeah, there are whispers among Democratic officials, not to mention the donors, that they do.
End of discussion.
I must continue to oversee my vast, progressive vision for the improvement of this great nation.
Infrastructure, women's rights, diplomacy, war, but only kind of war.
dogs shitting inside.
Your approval rating is at 33%.
Maybe if it were higher, that would be one thing.
But do you really think you can win?
Jimmy, we have no choice but to win.
The opposite thing, then that would be dark and terrifying.
Roe v.
Wade could be overturned.
We must save it.
Do you ever do you ever think about handing off the torch to someone else?
Who?
I've surrounded myself with bozos.
Yes, I know.
The vice president would usually be the obvious choice.
I suppress him for that.
Right.
In the late 60s.
But come on, Jack.
Give me a break.
Ramo Harris makes Hubert Humphrey look like Julius Caesar.
Let's be real.
No argument here, sir.
Leading senators, Chuck Schumer.
I know.
He's not exactly a spring chicken himself.
I know.
Bus, a New York elitist.
Yes.
That's what people will say anyway.
We all know what that's code for.
Right.
Who's young?
Alexandria Orcasio-Cortez, the killer?
She doesn't have the, you know, the maleness required.
I'm sorry, that's how it works.
What?
She's got a little mosquito voice.
Forget it.
Trump will call her hot pants one time and she'll cry and then he'll be crowned emperor by both parties.
Don't they?
A popular Democratic governor, perchance.
Like J.B. Pritzker of Illinois?
No way.
Too big.
He's a fat guy.
No fat guy's going to get elected.
Are you serious?
Come on.
William Howard Taft was president one time.
Huge fat guy.
What is the one thing people remember about him?
The one thing.
One thing.
He got stuck in a bath.
That's right.
He got his fat ass suck at a backup.
The one thing.
In excess said that.
Wise man.
Besides, all these people have publicly stated that they wouldn't challenge me, and I believe them.
It's only it's only if I gave them the go-ahead, and I fucking Won't I see, but what if someone decides to primary you anyway?
They wouldn't dare, but what if they did?
Don't you have to at least think of that as a possibility?
No, I would be weakened like Jimmy Carter in 80 when Ted Kennedy primarily him.
Yeah, and I cannot afford the illusion that I am weak.
Don't weaken me, bro.
Besides, who would even do that?
Who would have a chance?
Okay, how about...
So we can be broke.
How about...
How about Gavin Newsome?
What?
California's Governor Gavin Newsome.
Now I know who he is.
No way.
He wouldn't dare.
But what if he did?
What's with you and these goddamn hypotheticals?
You sound like my team.
We gotta prepare for this.
We gotta prepare for that.
I'm across that bridge when we come to it, kind of guy.
And then it turns out the bridge is structurally unsound, and we can't afford to pay for it.
Shouldn't have even come to the bridge in the goddamn first place.
I say, stay home.
I'm sleepy anyway.
Well, Gavin Newsome, huh?
Yeah.
More like Gavin Newsence.
Oh, we're gonna make our own insulin.
California is a state, not a pancreas.
Shut the fuck up.
I like to see him run.
It'd be funny.
I don't know.
You need that suburban mom vote for Mr. President.
And let's just say that they love Gavin Newsome.
They love him a lot.
Why?
Well, he's a pretty handsome fella, and I wish that didn't matter, but you know, it does a lot.
Oh, him?
Nah.
I'm better looking, that guy.
You are better looking than Gavin Newsome.
Open your eyes, jackass.
Of course I am.
They used to call me Handsome Joe.
What?
1957.
Okay.
Your unyielding confidence on all fronts is starting to concern me.
You may want to get grounded in reality here.
You ever think of that?
Okay, flat top.
Here's the deal: I'm better looking than Gavin Newsom.
Yeah.
I'm the best candidate in the Democratic field.
I'm going to get nominated.
I'm going to win.
I'm going to usher America into a new golden age in my second term.
I'm going to stop global warming with my mind.
I'm going to be the first human to live to 150.
I'm going to be the first president to go to space.
I'm going to have an army of dogs that shit wherever I tell them.
That I control with a trombone that only they can hear.
No one is more grounded in reality than me.
And if you have a problem with that, you can get out of that tiny chair inside my ear and leave.
And if you do, don't come back.
I'm falling asleep.
Goodbye.
love you.
