	Baby Said I'm gonna make it without a friend
	Oh, I'm gonna keep on trying I'm gonna keep on trying, trying
	You're a stranger in love, that's what I know You're a stranger in love, I know the fall
	I'm just a really good sport I'm just a really good sport
	Yuh!
	Why don't I have to run away?
	Oh no!
	I did spill water right away though, so apparently fixing my lung cavity, the heart issue, did not fix my mental retardation.
	No, you're still a bed slurper.
	Not at all.
	Sorry, mental handicap.
	Sorry, my special needs As it comes to it.
	And thanks, by the way, our little Mexican assistant, Luna, for giving me the glass with the chip on it, so now I have a canker sore for a week.
	Glad to be back!
	I'm really glad to be back with you guys.
	It's been a while.
	By the way, that Wonder Years intro.
	Let me just give you a quick story.
	First off, Gerald A. is here.
	Gerald Morgan, how are you, sir?
	I'm well.
	You doing good?
	I'm doing alright.
	Can you breathe better now?
	We'll see.
	Just so you guys know, I may have to switch spots at some point with Dave because the breathing is still a little bit restricted.
	We'll see what happens.
	Mayo said 12 weeks, I tried to do it in 4.
	Yeah, don't push yourself.
	We split it at an even 8.
	I don't think this is a negotiation.
	I eschew the medical establishment's advice.
	You tell the doctor how it goes.
	Yes.
	Oh, we're understaffed.
	We don't have any beds.
	Oh no.
	Shut up, you silly, silly bitches.
	Quarter Black is here.
	Yo, what's up?
	What's going on?
	Don't like that.
	Too bad.
	That's the least black you'll ever see.
	And Dave Landau is here.
	By the way, Dave, you have shows coming up in Homestead, Pennsylvania at Carnegie Music, and the tickets go on sale September 10th, right?
	Yes, Hoy, and then yes, Steiffel Theater in Kansas, and then this weekend in Spokane.
	Ah, Spokane.
	Spokane, right?
	I don't like that they say it that way.
	It should be Spokane.
	Like Houston, and then when you're in New York, like it's down on Houston Street.
	Oh, I get it.
	You're one of those affected pricks.
	I guess it's supposed to be Houston, though, right?
	House?
	I guess it should be.
	But no, but there's an E at the end of house.
	By the way, there is a promo code right now, just so you guys know.
	Crowder, come back.
	You get $20 off a year subscription to Mug Club.
	And of course you get, today, we will have segments that we absolutely cannot talk about on YouTube.
	Not at all.
	Every day you get an hour of additional show in the entire Blaze catalog, though we will be talking.
	Listen, YouTube has made it, people have been wondering, if we come back, obviously because of the legal issues with YouTube, Um, what this show will look like and if we'll be pulling back or putting our foot on the gas.
	And there are things you're not allowed... Let me be really clear.
	There are things you're not allowed to talk about on YouTube.
	We've always said it's their sandbox.
	We have to play by their rules.
	For example, they don't want you talking about Ivermectin.
	Which we'll do today, very thoroughly.
	Which we're doing today.
	It's kind of just like laying it out on the table.
	So we'll be talking about that, the differences between Donald Trump's withdrawal plans with Afghanistan versus Joe Biden, because that's a common thing now where everyone's been saying, actually, he just inherited this problem.
	Oh, right.
	Like Obama did with Bush for eight years.
	Well, like daddy, like son, Biden.
	Yes, he inherited peace.
	And a plan that was already in place.
	All you have to do is follow it.
	Who'd have thought that you could just replace John Lennon's lyrics with Trump?
	Oh, who knew?
	My question to you is, what did you think about the Afghanistan withdrawal?
	And how do you think that it differs?
	That's what I would do. And so this is Trump Trump. It could be lazy. There you go. Yeah
	My question to you is what did you think about the Afghanistan withdrawal and how do you think that it differs?
	And then what have your thoughts been on?
	On Ivermouth, you know that they've labeled it horse paste.
	Yeah To me, any reporter who refers to Ivermectin as horse paste is guilty of journalistic malpractice.
	Not offering medical advice.
	Correct.
	Yeah.
	However, it is a prescription available and prescribed to humans in the billions, I think it's 250 million human beings every year.
	We'll get to that.
	Any journalist who says horse paste, horse dewormer, is guilty of malpractice.
	Little aside, we did the Wonder Years intro and There was a rumor, I guess Dave Gerald and I remembered this, that the kid from the Wonder Years had become Marilyn Manson.
	Now, it's not true.
	It's absolutely not true.
	However, whoever came up with that conspiracy did a ton of due diligence because he looks like he could absolutely be Marilyn Manson.
	I would have ran with it.
	Yes, exactly.
	If I was Marilyn Manson, I would have said, yeah, I was the kid on the show.
	Fred Savage is not what he appears on TV.
	He's a monster.
	That's why his name's Savage.
	So, I was talking with all the people who work at this, some of the Millennials, and I said, I never heard of that.
	I said, you never heard that he was, the rumor that he was from, there's also the rumor of the Ribs, but that he was a kid from Wonder Years?
	That's a different rumor.
	They said no, and then Dave walks in 15 minutes later, because he was late, and he goes, alright, you're gonna dress me up as the Marilyn Manson kid?
	Totally unprompted.
	No, I completely remember the rumor.
	That was the deal.
	He was Marilyn Manson.
	I still believe it.
	It's like Santa.
	Yes.
	Now, before we move on to everything else, we have a lot of news to get to.
	Some stuff that happened on CNN this morning.
	Look, people are stranded in Afghanistan.
	Still.
	That's still going on and the media has moved on now to just try and blame anyone who's unvaccinated.
	I said it's a success!
	It's a success!
	We won!
	We did it!
	100%!
	Every American who wants to get vaccinated, it's like 90% of most Americans get out.
	Yeah.
	Like we think that a lot of Americans are here now.
	That's a fun way of saying 10% didn't make it.
	Because we left.
	Thousands of people are going to be burned or hanged from helicopters.
	Sorry.
	But a lot happened between the break.
	And I'll talk about that more in Mug Clip because you guys don't want to know what I went through.
	But twins, a lot of fun.
	Yeah, congrats, man.
	Did you just start a phrase and like, yeah?
	I was gonna say happy something and then I was like, what does that do?
	Happy twins, I hope they are for you.
	Oh, I'm a twin.
	I think they're gonna be a handful.
	Yeah, they are a handful.
	We're very fortunate, actually.
	I will say this, my wife is an unbelievable mother.
	Good!
	You just realize right away the difference between men and women.
	Yeah.
	She's just... I talked about this, I think, in one of the documentaries, but right away she's just, you know, feeding, doing this, pumping on, and just turning it over, okay, bourbon, and then going back, and I'm just like, is the head supported?
	It's like... Am I supporting the head?
	The baby's like...
	And you're leaving to go get cigarettes?
	Yes!
	I think they make them malleable just for the fathers.
	Like, they can bend and break a little bit, and they won't... Well, I'm not allowed to lift anything over eight pounds, and the babies were twins born two weeks early at seven pounds.
	Ooh, that's close.
	So, um, I thought, well, it was perfect, so you use them like shake weights.
	Get a little exercise.
	That's not how it works.
	They're not the sharpest twins around, but you know what?
	It's the luck of the genetic draw.
	Don't worry, they'll roll off the changing table at one point that happens to all fathers, and you won't tell her about it.
	When you do, she'll go, oh yeah, that happens.
	And you're like, what do you mean, that happens?
	Like a lot?
	Wait, what?
	That happens all the time.
	Sometimes I just do it.
	Why do you think there's a pad right next to the change table?
	Alright, so a lot happened while we were gone.
	This was two months while I was gone anyway.
	Thank you guys for holding on the fort.
	And how could we fit it all in?
	And I gotta tell you, from my hospital bed, from the ICU bed, I was sitting there at the TV going, no!
	To the point where one of the nurses came in and said, we should probably shut off CNN.
	Yeah.
	It's a good call.
	Can you do a morphine drip?
	Yeah.
	Can I get some more Dilaudid?
	Because Chris Cuomo's about to come on and I feel like there's going to be a Chris Cuomo-shaped hole in that television set.
	By the way, can't you get an LCD?
	You guys are still using old projection screens?
	Get an LCD!
	Like, okay, let's just turn this to Animal Planet.
	Attenborough, he's a dick too!
	So, a lot happened, and I was just screaming at the screen, wanting to get in there.
	Wasn't able to, and so how do we cover the two months that have taken place?
	Since I've been gone, this is not something that has never been done before.
	This is not something that has never been done before on this show.
	Lest you be unappreciative.
	However, it is still the most effective way, so we decided to put the last two months of
	news into a song for your convenience.
	Loser Megan Rapinoe.
	Piece of s**t de Blasio.
	Hey look, I think he pooped.
	Softball from your brother Chris.
	Fake news plays to Santis.
	Whitmer and the FBI.
	Oh yeah, I almost died!
	I'm gonna die.
	Twitter says porn's for kids.
	Tucker's spied by NSA.
	Hockey player says I'm gay.
	Obama is a super spreader.
	Bust a bull is back in sweaters.
	Fuck the fuck Afghanistan.
	Why another space ship?
	We're back now and getting louder.
	We were on hiatus and the liberals hate us.
	We're back now and getting louder.
	No, we didn't start it, but the fight goes on.
	She lies, Laurel Harford's not a guy, Lost control Afghanistan, the Taliban is back.
	Left our allies in disgrace, ISIS, T-bags, Biden's face, Military weapons stock, upgrade from Iraq.
	Pelosi is still a hag, at least Matt Damon won't say that.
	Black, Annam, NFL, Zinfran is a living hell.
	Falling New York power grids, K-Quartz says convert your kids,
	The last two months have been a blur, but danger's not a racial clue.
	Move back now, I'm getting louder, No we didn't start it, but the fight goes on and on and on and on.
	Unoriginal, but it works.
	It's a catchy tune.
	Oh, it's horrifying.
	I love how they found the one clip of Matt Damon actually saying it.
	This is my thing with Matt Damon.
	When I was reading this, and I was in, I think I was in the ICU at this point.
	I don't remember when it happened.
	And by the way, let me just say to everybody out there, I have this platform, I would like to help people.
	Genuinely, if you have anything wrong with you, that you need to go to Mayo Clinic.
	Don't think about it, go to Mayo Clinic.
	There are levels to this thing, and it's a whole different stratosphere of care.
	It is unbelievable.
	They all communicate.
	Any of the complications are entirely my own doing.
	I was stupid.
	This actually happened.
	They said, oh, well, you'll be up and you'll be able to walk the next day.
	Just don't lift anything above eight pounds for like eight, 12 weeks.
	I said, I'll be able to walk.
	But then I left five days early on a plane, which they did not want me to do.
	Like stay, and I was like, I can't stay.
	I got stuff to do.
	So I get on a plane, then I call them and say, I said, well, you know, I feel, I feel pretty winded though.
	Like I, so when I did a grocery run and then I was at Costco, but I got winded.
	I had to sit on the, like the liquor cart and I said, you went, are you out of your mind?
	I said, you said I could be walking.
	He said, we meant from like your bedroom to the kitchen.
	No, you're going to doing a grocery run?
	So it's my fault.
	It was you.
	But male.
	Unbelievable.
	What was it?
	Oh, Matt Damon.
	Yeah.
	When I was watching this story unfold, I remember sitting there, he said, you know, I told a joke to my daughter.
	I used the F word.
	And she said, you know, oh, well, that's an old word, Dad.
	That's a word we don't use anymore.
	And I thought, well, it's just a joke.
	And I was sitting there going, Matt Damon, these people are in such a bubble.
	They have such a lack of self-aware.
	Matt, did you think they were going to give you grace?
	Do you think they weren't going to come and try and crucify you because you were telling the story about how you were no longer going to use it?
	But I'm an actor.
	It doesn't matter!
	You used it once!
	Paula Deen said the N-word once, the Esther in Deposition said, have you ever said the N-word?
	And everyone else in the country who's ever glanced at Paula Deen could have answered that question for you.
	Yes.
	And she said yes!
	Guilty.
	Done.
	Matt Damon thought they would be okay with it?
	No, what rock is he hiding under where now is the time that he's finding out?
	That word was like 15 years ago.
	People were like, ah, we probably shouldn't say that.
	OJ got acquitted because of that.
	It was just like, have you ever said it, Mark Furman?
	And he's like, I've never even heard of it.
	Yeah, you just say no.
	And then they're like, well, we have you on tape saying it 11 times, ordering a pizza.
	That's not me either.
	No, he's like, I don't know.
	This is definitely Mark Furman.
	This is how I order pizza.
	Bring it to my house.
	You gotta take it up with Jets.
	Nazi fags!
	Former Vice President.
	It's appropriate if you're lobbing it at Nazis.
	It's just crazy, though, because Matt Damon's the one that leaked it in an interview.
	Why'd you bring it up?
	Yeah, who's his PR guy?
	You know what, he thought he was going to gain points.
	Like, look guys, I don't say this anymore.
	Hold on a second.
	Forgiveness, Grace?
	You must be thinking of those right-wing Christians.
	You said it ever?
	He's like, listen, I was just telling my young daughter gay bashing jokes like we do at the dinner table and she corrected me.
	I say gay bashing joke, you say rollerblading accident.
	The point is, Will had a little bit of fun.
	He was desperate for attention.
	He needed to be in the media.
	His last few movies have not been good.
	No.
	They've been really bad.
	But I do like him.
	They still try to make him out to be a tough guy.
	All five foot two inches of him.
	Okay.
	So before we move on to people who are still stranded in the United States, which is a serious story that the media is not giving it attention.
	Oh, America.
	People from the United States stranded in Afghanistan.
	Right.
	Not to mention our allies.
	Some are still stranded here too.
	I mean, it just depends on where you look.
	It's a problem with our allies being stranded there because, you know, Biden handed over His Rolodex, their private phone numbers, thumbprints, and a list of their hobbies.
	GPS coordinates.
	An interpreter that helped him.
	Yeah.
	A bunch of guns.
	He set up a fake dating game show just so people could show up and be like, oh, OK, we're going to arrest you.
	It's not a dating game.
	If they invite you to play a game show, there is no family feud in Afghanistan.
	It's just a trick.
	It doesn't exist.
	Well, there is, but it's just hitting your wife with rocks.
	It's just Steve Harvey showing up like, Nah, this man come from the Taliban!
	And he likes...
	...Sedimentary...
	...and Igneous!
	Anytime a white person says anything on that, Steve Harvey treats them like garbage.
	What do you take to a picnic?
	Sandwiches?
	What the hell?
	Oh, I see sandwiches.
	You be all waiting on Winnie the Pooh when he's hunnit.
	You want some hunnit?
	You want some hunnit?
	Crack-ass cracker.
	The legend.
	Legend.
	Alright.
	He is legend.
	But before we move on to that, we did want to react really quickly.
	We're going to be talking about COVID, the numbers too, and you blame the unvaccinated, I blame the fat.
	So let's lead this off with lefties on TikTok have taken to spoken word poetry, commonly referred to as people who weren't good enough for the open mic cut to express their astronomical progressive achievements.
	Is that a tattoo between the tube socks?
	Enhance.
	Yes it is.
	At least you get a nice big canvas.
	Two between her...between the tube socks?
	In hands.
	Ah.
	Yes it is.
	And we squirmed under silence.
	We billowed.
	We, whose voices riddled protest signs and prayer marches.
	We, whose advent is not yet coming but has been here for generations.
	At least you get a nice big canvas.
	A lot of room for air.
	We ate the bad men.
	Ate the good men.
	A lot of real estate.
	I feel like that would choke the child.
	Just smothered.
	Choke the child.
	Christ on the work of small men.
	That the women who worked wouldn't hold higher office.
	That the girl who'd been raped had asked for it again.
	She, who knew nothing of pain till her gender betrayed her.
	He, knowing nothing of us but our will to be small.
	We, who are not easy made into silence.
	We using our voices in being unstill.
	We, with our hands out and chest cracked from climbing, are taking the office and casting the world.
	More of a soft-boiled egg than a crack.
	Your chest isn't cracking from anything but gravity.
	This isn't cracking from anything but gravity.
	They who have choked us with bleak perseverance, on their old grounding is where we shall stand.
	We the believers who have never forgotten that life, liberty of a red, white, and blue,
	we who unbounded and unresurrected stood up to the bad men and shouted,
	Me too!
	The bad men.
	This year we aren't quiet, amending our textbooks.
	You know how ghosts flick the light switch on and off?
	no matter our gender, our race, our difference, this year we all gathered and marched to the polls.
	The women voted this year.
	She calls it a haunted house.
	You know how ghosts flick the lights switch on and off?
	Her ghost just turns them off.
	She's like, what? I'm just, I'm doing, I'm skilleting, baking it. Why does it flick?
	I just can't, the lights keep going off.
	Could my creator please decide up or down?
	She's doing slam poetry, it's hell worse than this.
	The ghost in her house just flips off the lights and goes, MOVE!
	Imagine being that tattoo artist!
	Yes.
	You gotta move that over.
	You need a whole mechanism.
	It would have to be continual requests for consent.
	Yeah.
	Just when we're talking about the mechanics of it, you have to move it over.
	It's like a mad fold-in.
	I'm glad she obviously wanted us to focus on her words.
	That was the most pressing thing that she had.
	Yeah, focus on my words and not my tit tattoo.
	Or the fact that I just think she had such great poetry.
	Why did she live in such an awful home?
	Oh, that's true.
	It must just be an old artist thing.
	Home is where you make it.
	That is true.
	Home is where your eight cats are.
	Fridge full of Flintstone ribs.
	She went and asked her father, they were like, we have Flintstone vitamins.
	Yeah, but do you have Flintstone rack of lamb?
	Yes.
	Do you have car tipping ribs?
	I need a snack.
	Okay.
	This is something, so the Taliban, we're going to get into the difference between the withdrawal plans.
	And my question to you is, how many Americans do you think have been left behind, if you had to estimate?
	And we'll get into some kind of general, so by the way, best thing you can do too on YouTube, just comment.
	Just comment below, that helps with the algorithm.
	If you want to smash the like button, that's great.
	So the Taliban, just so you know, Glenn Beck, who actually does work at the Blaze, if you join Mug Club, you get access to his show.
	And regardless of where you line up with his politics or previous stances, the guy has been doing a lot of good work and going over there.
	And a lot of Americans have been doing tremendous work trying to get Americans out.
	They raised a ton of money.
	Of Afghanistan.
	You're talking about, I don't know if it's hundreds of millions collectively when you
	add up all the organizations, but it's certainly in the high tens of millions.
	Glenn Beck actually, he's been working with a charity, Mission One, and allegedly, we
	don't have all the information here, the Taliban is holding six planes hostage.
	What?
	Yeah, six plane tickets.
	Of U.S.
	passengers?
	Yeah, U.S.
	passengers.
	This is a quote from an article an NGO told Newsweek, the planes are currently empty and its passengers are still waiting in their safe house for clearance for takeoff from the Taliban.
	I have more than 1,000 people on the master manifest that want to fly, of which 123 are Americans, and the rest are special immigrant visas.
	Now here's the thing, Remember, what matters is the claim that they made.
	Joe Biden said there would be no complications of withdrawal.
	Then he said, well, you couldn't do this without any kind of complications.
	He said no Americans will be left behind.
	Then it was most Americans have been, you know, they've been taken back home.
	And the ones, and then I told, I remember telling Gerald off-air, I said, watch, the narrative is going to be, well, the ones who are there wanted to stay there.
	Or they were told for months how to move.
	Well, look, if they tell you for months how you can leave the country, they say, hey, we're gonna, you know, extract our troops, you should leave the country.
	But you show up and you're locked out of the airport.
	Yeah.
	It's not helpful.
	The fact is there are thousands of Americans and allies right now on at least dozens of planes, the reporting obviously is very secretive so we don't know exactly the number and I couldn't give it to you if I had it, who want to leave the country, who have been trying to leave for a very long time, and who cannot.
	I want to go to thought after but this was going on this morning with CNN's
	Brianna Kehler, not Poppy Harlow, the other blonde, and there was a
	man on there who was talking, working for another organization, talking about trying
	to get Americans out and being stonewalled by the State Department.
	I guarantee you, and you can go and search this and watch the whole segment at CNN.
	I encourage you to.
	They did not expect this man to discuss this because watch when Breonna goes from CNN's Breonna goes from being allegedly a journalist to absolutely carrying the water for the State Department and administration.
	This is not the kind of questioning.
	This is not the kind of interview that a journalist conducts if they're interested in learning the truth.
	Here we go.
	This was this morning.
	First I want to ask you about this particular characterization of what happened by the U.S.
	State Department because you said you didn't necessarily want to be talking about this in the press but here you are and you're taking issue you're taking very much issue with how the State Department is characterizing this so I just want to get to the bottom of what you're taking issue with because the State Department said
	the U.S. has facilitated the safe departure of four U.S. citizens by overland route
	from Afghanistan.
	Embassy staff was present upon arrival. So just to be clear, are you saying that they actually did
	not facilitate the overland departure of these four? Are you saying that embassy staff were
	not present at the exit? They got present on the second day.
	We traveled over 300 miles with Miriam, not we personally, not me, I was actually in the United States, over 300 miles from Kabul, up through this region.
	This is after he set it up, saying the State Department's done with us.
	What?
	But we had her there for 24 hours before the State Department was even aware she was there.
	They didn't show up until a few hours after we'd actually, or before we got her across.
	Our guys with the Sentinel Foundation literally walked across the bridge and was trying to
	negotiate with the Taliban. Not the State Department, our guys. The Sentinel Foundation,
	who is non-political whatsoever, they don't even want to be in the picture.
	God bless them.
	They want to, they do this all over the country, or all over the world.
	She's got some talking points.
	on the negotiations. But when I see the State Department come out and take credit for this,
	it is absolutely a lie. It is a continued deterrence.
	So it sounds like what you're saying is they didn't, it was the group you're involved with
	that shepherded this woman and her three kids through the Overland route. The State Department
	obviously did come in at the end and they helped get this person through this thing.
	Oh!
	Well, goody for the State Department.
	They came in at the end once they used bolt cutters to cut a little representative shaped hole through the fence.
	So you want credit for people having to walk 300 miles through Taliban infested hell and if they finally make their way to you, you might be able to get them out?
	That's your credit?
	Could you imagine just anyone at CNN asking that kind of a question carrying Trump's water?
	Oh, no way.
	Never.
	One American left behind would have been the end of Trump's administration in their eyes.
	That's unbelievable.
	I can't believe that American citizens are having to go over there right now.
	And this is not the only group doing that.
	No, no, no.
	There have been hundreds of people that have gone over and taken care of people that we have made promises to.
	Not just Joe Biden saying all Americans are going to get out, this is going to be no big deal.
	The people who put their lives and families on the line to work with us that we said we will take care of you that we left.
	There are many, many, many thousands more of those still waiting to get out.
	Oh, I don't think so.
	Biden said that none of those people want to fight.
	No, they don't want to leave, Dave.
	Who would want to leave a country where people are getting beheaded?
	Well, they're actually cool with the Taliban coming over.
	They prepared a nice dinner for them.
	A country with no Quiznos.
	I know, right?
	I don't know how they do it.
	You don't have to think about it, dude.
	I mean, my toasty goodness.
	We're going to move on and do a whole segment on the difference between Donald Trump and Biden and Afghanistan, because that was a talking point, too.
	Well, you inherited Trump's mess.
	Well, Trump wanted to withdraw.
	Very, very different.
	I don't think anyone here is against the idea that we need to withdraw from Afghanistan.
	No, not at all.
	There's a right way to do it, and there's a wrong way to do it, and I'll get into that in a second.
	But first, this is, you know, the Texas abortion law.
	By the way, here's what you do if you're around people who are anti-abortion.
	You refer to the Texas abortion laws as common-sense sensible abortion laws.
	I just watch their heads explode.
	It's common sense.
	I don't know why they call it common sense.
	Bette Midler, by the way, until the abortion law is rescinded, she won't put out.
	Thank God!
	I can't give me a piece of Midler?
	It's funny how I've advocated abstinence so that you can avoid unwanted pregnancies and they're advocating abstinence so that they can have more unwanted pregnancies.
	Well, she's also admitting that men want sex more and women use it as a weapon.
	Yeah, while failing to realize that the rule doesn't apply to Bette Midler.
	No, ever.
	There's zero men put out by that.
	They're like, ah, Bette Midler's off the table.
	Is she even married?
	Is she with anybody?
	I don't know.
	I have no idea.
	Oh, dear God, I hope not.
	Find out if Bette Midler is a foe.
	Children would have hooves.
	So, the Satanic Temple has now, though, found a roundabout way against the Texas law.
	The official Twitter for the Satanic Temple.
	By the way, Donald Trump's still banned.
	Taliban?
	Still up on the ISIS.
	Still up on the Twitter.
	Satanic Temple?
	Still up on the Twitter, though I think the Satanic Temple should be allowed to be up on Twitter, because it's hilarious.
	They announced a lawsuit over the Texas abortion law.
	Well, one Satanist does.
	The Satanic Temple says they have a strategy for women to access the abortion drug.
	Take it as part of a religious expression.
	Its founder describes them as a non-theistic religious group.
	By non-theistic, we mean we don't worship a literal deity.
	We view Satan as a metaphorical construct, as the ultimate rebel against tyranny.
	Oh, no, I never thought that the head of the Satanic temple would have the inglorious bastard's haircut and a marble eye.
	Ever.
	Just kind of askew a little bit.
	be holding a cap.
	So the temple tweeted its opposition to this new law saying, Abortion laws in Texas violate our religious rights and
	taking legal action.
	If Texas judges abide by the constitutional and legal precedent, then those who share
	our deeply held beliefs will be exempt from the state's inappropriate efforts to restrict
	access to abortion services.
	What's going on?
	What the?
	Oh, that's Dr. Devil Walrus, the local abortionist here.
	Since the Texas law passed, he's been moonlighting here as a janitor.
	On Saturdays!
	He keeps just showing up here.
	Come on, Devil Walrus.
	I know you love vacuums, but it doesn't mean you should just come by any time.
	Well, I'm glad he wore a mask.
	He's very rude.
	He's just not a nice guy.
	He's actually part of that satanic church.
	Is he really?
	Yeah, he's kind of their mascot.
	As opposed to the guy with the marble eye?
	Yeah, well, they're both equally respectable in my eyes.
	Here's the thing.
	You know that because these guys are pansies, the satanic temple people, and they don't worship real Satan.
	They're just practiced atheists.
	But I do want to know the story behind that eye.
	A, it was an accident completely outside of his own free will that happened, and he needed to get a fake eye.
	In which case, he's just like, roll with it, become a Satanist.
	Or, then I want to know if he was a Satanist and said, I want to freak people out with this eye, if he A, uses a contact lens, or B, actually committed, spooned out his eye and put in a glass eye in the name of Satan.
	Because that's the only way I would respect anyone in the Satanic temple.
	If he spooned out his eye and put in A marble or glass eye.
	That's commitment.
	Or he blamed God because he's a butterfinger with lawn darts.
	Oh, well, let's see.
	A lot of people are.
	You know you're on the right side when the Satanists come to your defense, right?
	You're like, well, who's on our side?
	Well, you got the Satanists over there.
	They think this is a good idea.
	Yeah, you know the devil.
	Hold on.
	Anybody else?
	Well, we have this titty tattooed TikTok.
	She's pretty happy about it.
	You want to watch that there?
	No.
	I don't think she has to worry about pregnancy lasting more than eight minutes.
	Where is she?
	Behind those Spencer plasma balls?
	No, no, the desk is a little high.
	Could you move those out of the way?
	Well, uh, Sammy Davis Jr.
	was a Satanist, briefly.
	That's true, yeah.
	Towards the end of his life.
	Ah, hail Satan!
	The Satan man can... He also had a glass eye.
	Maybe that's part of... All can take a sacrifice!
	Yeah, maybe he's doing it to be like Sammy.
	He's like, everybody's got to have one glass eye to be a Satan worshipper.
	By the way, also speaking of boycotts, over the weekend, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, in case you forgot, he announced that the city is going to try and boycott travel goods and services from Texas over the new law.
	And you know what, here's the thing, a lot of people are like, I can't believe this, this seems like it might actually be a violation of state law, federal law.
	I support it.
	We entirely support the boycott here at Loud Earth.
	We have some suggestions for other goods and services that we don't want from Portland.
	For example, let's start with homeless tent dealerships.
	Smelly, smelly drum circles.
	That's a good one.
	Yeah, a car fire started by someone whose life matters.
	Yeah, you know, you don't need that.
	Maybe Cammy, the HIV-positive orphan Muppet from Sesame Street who probably lives in Portland.
	Yeah, probably does live in Portland.
	Yeah, she's real.
	Guess where she's from?
	It's gotta be Portland.
	No, Africa.
	What?!
	Yep, for real.
	That's a real Sesame Street character.
	I'm sorry, what?
	Yeah.
	The AIDS-riddled puppet.
	Wow!
	That's real?
	Hold on, leave that up.
	That's real?
	Yeah, that's real.
	Wait, that's an African puppet?
	Well, she comes from Africa.
	I think it's more of... That comes from the apartheid state, clearly.
	Clearly.
	I've seen black puppets.
	That is not one of them.
	Yeah, I think it's where the white actors come from that claim they're African-American.
	She's from the same place.
	She's voiced by Charlize Theron.
	You clearly have black puppets available and you chose not to use it.
	They're like, how can we, it's from Africa, what should we do?
	Well, I probably should give it AIDS.
	Oh, well, yeah, it is Sesame Street.
	You seen Blood Diamond?
	Nah, we'll watch it in the green room.
	Her and Snuffleupagus have been sharing needles.
	Speaking of, we have confirmation that Bette Midler is married and this is her husband.
	She's married?
	Poor guy's not getting any for a while.
	He looks like a falcon!
	Unless you count the maid and any other woman he can.
	He hasn't been getting any for a long time anyway.
	Oh, it's the devil walrus!
	You were busy on Saturdays!
	I don't want to see that with a feather duster.
	By the way, I just think that Texas shouldn't do business with any cities that are controlled by terrorist organizations.
	So Portland, you do you.
	We're fine.
	Who knew this was how we would stem the tide?
	Just pass laws that liberals hate and they'll stop coming here.
	And they'll leave.
	We should keep doing it.
	That's great.
	We should absolutely keep doing it.
	Here's another quick story of fake news.
	We have so much to... There's a lot.
	It's like drinking from a fire hose.
	And I appreciate you guys spending... What are they talking about here on CNN Island?
	Double murder investigate... Who cares?
	Okay.
	I thought they were going back to not covering the Americans stranded in Afghanistan.
	Oh, they are.
	Not covering it.
	Boy, did they stop covering that.
	You're like, well...
	Looks like our work here is done.
	Mission accomplished.
	He said 90%.
	That's more than the peaceful protests of last year.
	That's gotta be good.
	That's a good number.
	Mostly peaceful escape.
	Mostly successful evacuation.
	You want to know how bad it's going to be?
	Picture the Taliban, before, now add countless American armaments.
	Yeah.
	Well, more than they already had, and the pallets of cash that was given to them by what administration?
	Yeah.
	Pallets of cash.
	Blackhawks.
	Anyway.
	Here's another fake news story, and I know some of you know about this, but some of you may not have heard of this, and this is going to be important because we're going to go back to Ivermectin and talk about that again.
	Not offering any medical advice, but a lot of people don't know anything about it.
	So we'll talk about that, but first, here's a story that many people know.
	This was their introduction to ivermectin.
	Over the weekend, it was reported, and this was all over the place, Rachel Maddow, Rolling Stone, that a hospital in Oklahoma...
	had no beds because of too many people and they were saying so many poison
	control situations calls by the way someone can call poison control
	is this poisonous nice a no
	okay that's a poison control yeah but these haven't really actually been
	proven the media's just run with the story so this guy who claimed to be
	an emergency room doctor in an Oklahoma hospital so they had no beds because of
	too many people eating ivermectin horse paste here's the story as it
	happened in real time there's a reason you have to have a doctor to get a
	prescription for this stuff because it can be dangerous
	Dr. Jason Magalhae saying patients are packing southeastern Oklahoma emergency rooms.
	Taking ivermectin doses meant for a full-sized horse, believing false claims it could fight COVID-19.
	Taking it for a full-sized TikToker.
	That gunshot victims were having hard times getting to facilities where they could get definitive care and be treated.
	Something Miguelier says is now backing up small town ambulance systems too.
	All of their ambulances are stuck at the hospital waiting for a bed to open so that they can take the patient in.
	Okay, don't let me forget to go back to why the beds are so sparse right now.
	That's something I want to go back to.
	But first, this story's not true.
	Now, it was covered by Rachel Maddow, who I don't believe at the time of this show has issued an apology.
	That's overlay D. Warning about vision loss, I guess, with the drug Rolling Stone published the article.
	Is she a doctor?
	She's not a doctor.
	Ah, not a doctor.
	Rachel Maddow's not?
	No.
	But her glasses.
	She's a mixologist, though.
	Oh!
	That young man makes a mean sidecar.
	Your degree is in cocktail.
	I never knew that Burt Ward made such a good Manhattan.
	We've got somebody shot in the ambulance and a doctor horse comes out and just clicks his heel twice and now it hurts.
	So here's how we know it's not true.
	Because, Rachel Maddow, not a doctor.
	Writers at Rolling Stone, as far as I know, not a doctor.
	Also, who knows Rachel at Rolling Stone?
	A hospital in Oklahoma released, or the hospital, released a statement refuting Dr. McClea's claim, saying, although Dr. Jason McClea is not an employee of NHS Sequoia, he is affiliated with a medical staffing group that provides coverage for our emergency room.
	With that said, Dr. McClea has not worked at our Salisaw location, which is what he claimed, for over two months.
	NHS Sequoia has not treated any patients due to complications related to taking ivermectin.
	This includes not treating any patients for ivermectin overdose.
	All patients who have visited our emergency room have received medical attention as appropriate.
	Our hospital has not had to turn away any patients seeking emergency care.
	And, uh, just for fun, just so you know, and I made sure that this, that I'm about to show you, these reviews are from before this story.
	Right.
	We found some of the funnest reviews of Dr. MacLea from his patients.
	Yay!
	So, in other words, here's the thing.
	The media went with this.
	The media went with the story.
	At a certain point, you can't say they're ignorant.
	They knowingly didn't do any due diligence.
	They knowingly avoided research if it didn't fit their narrative, because they want you to think that any alternative treatment is either dangerous, someone has a financial vested interest in it, or it's veterinary medicine, which is not the case for ivermectin.
	It is used in both humans and animals.
	For crying out loud, my sister-in-law has a dog on Prozac.
	It happens all the time.
	Dog thrilled about it!
	Yeah, the dog's gotta stop eating that out of her purse, though.
	He's having a great time.
	He feels great.
	Also a little bit of weight gain.
	I know.
	So, here are the reviews of Dr. Macleus from his patients.
	Absolutely horrible experience with this obviously egomaniacal, borderline criminally negligent, so-called doctor.
	Wow.
	Somebody's pissed.
	Tried to give an end-stage liver patient 3,000 milligrams of Tylenol because of the opioid crisis.
	Had to take his orders to a pharmacist to get a statement to prove to the facility what had happened.
	Bedside manner was very dismissive and accusatory.
	Overall, he was awful.
	Here's another one.
	Dismantle liver's damage.
	What do you want to do?
	Prescribe him more liver damage.
	Here's another one too.
	He's a smart mouth and I wouldn't recommend this low life freak to anyone.
	If you go to this doctor, you are nuts!
	He's a smart mouth!
	He's a freak!
	He's like Patch Adams, but he's moody.
	Just prescribes Tylenol.
	More Tylenol, go!
	It's like a father scolding a child.
	It's like, how about 3,000 milligrams of Tylenol?
	Hey, you know how a liver works there, smart mouth?
	I don't like her.
	That's why I prescribed it.
	That was hopeful.
	Have you seen her dick tattoo?
	How much Tylenol I'm gonna need to get rid of that?
	Just rub some Tylenol on it.
	I love that this is the guy they went to.
	This is like a guy who got fired from Wendy's for like, you know, dipping himself in the frosting machine and then he tells everybody it's a disgusting place to eat.
	Are you sure it's not you?
	I think it's you, sir.
	Are those not your tiny ball-shaped imprints and singular lone hair?
	Didn't you choke somebody in line?
	I did, but I mean, it's a girl's place.
	What I'm saying, Wendy's is horrible.
	No, that was when I was at Waffle House.
	Oh, so you failed at both.
	By the way, here's something, too.
	You're having a wife who's a nurse, and they talk about hospital beds being overrun.
	Here's the truth.
	They actually, a lot of hospitals have... First off, let me go through a couple of things here.
	Hospitals operate very near capacity, always, because it's about profit margins.
	In other words, if they have a bunch of unused capacity, often they'll end up closing those down, or they won't staff them.
	Right now, they actually have more beds than the media is telling you, but they are understaffed.
	A reason they are understaffed is because they've laid off a record number of nurses and furloughed them because they had to stop elective procedures and there weren't enough COVID patients.
	I know this because I was in the ICU for non-COVID reasons and it was understaffed and hard for me to get a bed even though there was no COVID patient in the hospital.
	Yeah.
	Just to be clear, do I have that about right?
	Yeah, and hospitals actually do fill up and go on what they call diversion, where they send people either to other units that are not necessarily going to be in that specific, you know, kind of category at first.
	Right.
	Maybe you go to the ER and you would go somewhere else, they take you somewhere else, or they send you to another hospital.
	This happens because hospitals, it's like going to the restaurant and seeing five empty tables and seeing that there's a 30 minute wait to eat.
	It's like, well, you got empty tables, we don't have any servers.
	Right.
	You don't have any nurses to take care of you, so we can't put you in these beds.
	And if they have so many open beds, they're paying for them.
	They want capacity to be high, so when you're being told 80-90% of these beds are taken, oh my gosh, it's like, well it wasn't zero last week!
	No, we had an ambulance, or we had an injury in our family, you know, over the summer, I don't want to get into it, but it's like, yeah, it had to be ambulance to another hospital.
	We stuck your dick in a frosty machine.
	Listen, when you try to put the thing under the Frosty, sometimes... No, I don't want to talk about it.
	It's not safe.
	It's more of a grinder.
	Well, see, I had a rib removed, like Marilyn Manson, and I fell off my bed.
	No, but you went in the...
	Almost broke my neck.
	At least he sleeps in the bottom bunk now.
	That's true.
	That's true.
	Much safer.
	Oh my god.
	No, same thing with me when I went to the ICU.
	Do you guys want to hear the story about how I struck a nurse?
	I do.
	Oh yes, I remember.
	So before this, by the way, follow us on Instagram and on TikTok if you guys aren't already, even though TikTok is destroying the country.
	And if you want to know the best way to watch the show, it's a live show.
	Yeah!
	Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
	Eastern, just tune in, because search, algorithm, browse isn't going to work, so you can join Mud Club.
	Just tune in, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
	Eastern, and we'll be taking your live chat.
	And hit that like button!
	Smash it!
	Smash that like button!
	Smash it!
	So here's what happens.
	I wasn't planning on it, I didn't want to make it all about me.
	You should.
	I had the surgery, and then I pushed it too fast, too hard, and so I gained 30 pounds in like two weeks.
	Oh wow.
	To the point where I was going to be eating relatively healthy, so I cut out all sugar, then I cut out all carbs, then I'm just, the problem is then I was trying to exercise more to try and lose some weight, and the weight kept going up, and I'm going, I ate two eggs, And I ate a piece of salmon?
	This doesn't make sense.
	Like Michael Tyson looking at his bank account when Donald King just shook it down from 180 million to 5.
	Like, oh, what did I buy?
	So then it filled up with fluid.
	So this is what happened.
	I told the story.
	I'll do the brief version.
	You can go back and watch this sort of mini-documentary.
	It got to the point where I was getting really winded, and I had this barometer.
	My breath was getting worse, getting worse and worse, to the point where I couldn't get out of bed.
	I couldn't breathe.
	And I've talked about this where I was kind of going in and out of consciousness, and the muscles that you use to breathe, you sort of take for granted, right?
	If you're working out, you get that lactic acid buildup.
	This symbolizes working out if you improperly use a squat rack.
	Curling.
	Or my babies, shake weights.
	Jack and Elaine.
	What happened is, at that point, I'm going, oh my gosh, I can see stars, and now my diaphragm is exhausted.
	I thought there was a 50-50 shot that I may not wake up.
	So I can't breathe.
	Johnny Boy takes me to the emergency room.
	Again, there was no one there.
	This was at maybe five something in the morning.
	No one there!
	We still had to wait.
	So I go in, and I'm about able to take one breath, like the black kid in Malcolm in the Middle on the wheelchair.
	I'm talking, and I go in, and this nurse in the emergency room goes, and I have a mask underneath my chin, she goes, MASK!
	And I go, No.
	Show the thing.
	Because I have a card for Mayo with a picture of the bars through my ribs and like for TSA in case there's breathing complications.
	She goes, I don't care!
	Mask!
	And she goes and she reaches the mask under my chin and she doesn't like aggressively almost like smears it.
	What the heck?
	While I'm laying back over my face above my nose and I just instinctively went, no!
	And I went like that.
	Exactly.
	And it was a little bit louder than I anticipated.
	It was like a And at that point, I realized I just hit a nurse, and we're looking around, and you can hear rat piss on cotton.
	I'm surprised you didn't hear a slow clap at the end of the movie from everybody there.
	And so then after that, I look, and Jon looks, and he just...
	She sort of hands over the card with the picture of my bars in my chest and she goes, well, it doesn't matter.
	It doesn't affect your oxygen levels anyway.
	And you know, we did this study where I went to the gym with the mass sensitivity.
	And so I didn't have time or the breath to explain it.
	All I said was, that's bullshit.
	Don't touch me.
	And she said, well, we might not be able to get you a bed tonight because we might not be able to admit you because we're finishing up with COVID patients.
	And I went up, there was this wonderful nurse named Ramona who said, that's total bullcrap.
	We don't have any in this hospital.
	We have six in the entire hospital network.
	We just don't have enough nurses.
	So that was what I went through.
	I struck a nurse.
	Sorry, hero.
	Justified.
	Yeah, hero.
	Not all heroes wear capes.
	All right.
	Some wear masks, I guess.
	Some wear a face slap because they deserve it.
	Can you imagine that?
	Being your first thought, somebody who can't breathe that's walking in, like, now you have to mask up, which will restrict your oxygen.
	What a jerk.
	He has metal rods in his ribs, and you're like, how would that affect breathing?
	She was a temp, okay, Dave?
	I'm sorry, receptionist.
	Why don't you just admit that?
	Oh, I forgot!
	You're so special!
	How would no legs affect jumping?
	That wouldn't affect it.
	Couldn't you just get some moon boots?
	Huh?
	You got no thumbs, you got trouble holding stuff?
	Doesn't make sense.
	What's the matter with you, kid?
	I'm a nurse.
	How do you use an oven mitt with no thumbs?
	That's weird.
	Gross.
	That's the first thing you think of?
	I like oven mitts!
	You're the 11th person that's hit me today.
	It was ten times from my husband.
	I should have never taken the job as Bette Midler's maid.
	I look just like her.
	I think that's the problem.
	I think he thinks it's her.
	It doesn't help that we always wear the devil walrus mask.
	She looks hot and hocus pocus compared to now.
	By the way, did you know that Hocus Pocus, that film, Hocus Pocus, I think they might be doing a sequel, but did you know in that film, Sarah Jessica Parker, no prosthetics?
	Oh!
	Oh, wow.
	Not at all.
	So let's go through Biden versus Trump on Afghanistan here.
	This is something that's been going on for a while, but the media has just moved on as though it's normal.
	And again, I want to hear from you guys if you ever actually bought this, if you understood and if you were able to articulate.
	This is something I think a lot of people need to be able to do is articulate the difference between a good withdrawal and a disastrous withdrawal.
	No one here has a problem with withdrawing from Afghanistan.
	Nope.
	No.
	And certainly when you look at, there's a case we made when people say Second Amendment, or you're going to fight off your government with guns.
	70,000-something Taliban over, I think it was 400,000 Afghan members, and they were fleeing.
	And there's a big part of me that says, look, if they're not willing to fight for their own country, we shouldn't be sending Americans to die to fight for them.
	The people who did help us, who we had agreements with, of course we need to take care of those people who put their ass on the line.
	But not the people fleeing buildings telling the Taliban, like, it's not, they never touched it.
	Um, this is the narrative that Biden has been setting.
	I've never heard a president accept less responsibility, aside from maybe Barack Obama, uh, trying to blame it numerous times on Trump.
	I think we have a montage.
	Yeah.
	My predecessor, the former president, signed an agreement with the Taliban to remove US troops by May the 1st, just months after I was inaugurated.
	It included no requirement that Taliban work out a cooperative government arrangement with the Afghan government.
	But it did authorize the release of 5,000 prisoners last year.
	We'll get to that.
	Including some of the Taliban's top war commanders, among those who just took control of Afghanistan.
	I inherited a diplomatic agreement Dually negotiated between the government of the United States and the Taliban that all U.S.
	forces would be out of Afghanistan by May 1, 2021.
	How much Big League Chew is in your mouth right now?
	Just three months after my inauguration.
	He's a red man guy.
	That's what we inherited, that commitment.
	You are fake news!
	Perhaps not what I would have negotiated myself, but it was an agreement made by the United States government.
	And that means something.
	Not with you. So first off, this is something that matters is,
	okay, if you want to blame Donald Trump, again, very, very different policies.
	However, that doesn't hold water.
	There are plenty of Donald Trump's policies, executive orders, initiatives that Biden immediately undid.
	The Mexico City policy, the Keystone XL pipeline, the 1776 Commission.
	In other words, he came in and with just a flick of his pen undid all kinds of Trump policies.
	He didn't with Afghanistan until a rushed one slash two, give or take a few hours, withdrawal.
	So right off the bat, you have to accept some responsibility.
	Sweetheart.
	Also, let's stop giving them the respect of pronouncing Taliban in their native tongue.
	Taliban!
	Why?
	Because go screw yourselves.
	That's why.
	We're going to mispronounce it just to aggravate you.
	The Taliban.
	Like, well, hold on a second.
	Like, they're worthy of respect.
	I know.
	I don't think they can get more pissed at us anyway, so let's do it.
	Like you're a terrible aunt ordering in an Italian restaurant.
	Right.
	Italian.
	Italian.
	But that's what we should do with the Taliban.
	Do you think, he's getting really, just look at him, I think that's who Stephen King had in mind when he was writing Pet Sematary to be Judge Randall.
	Like he decided to come out and be like, don't go across that road.
	It gets mighty busy.
	Keep your son out that road now.
	Dave, he couldn't enunciate like that.
	That's true.
	Government, government.
	He stumbled on agreement.
	I went to Afghanistan, the ground is sour.
	That's just ridiculous.
	I've seen just dead fake plants that are more alive than him.
	Come on, man!
	I saw a fake ficus that had more vibrancy.
	I would rather be led by it.
	Okay, so let's get down to this.
	What did Trump want to do with Afghanistan, and what has Biden done?
	Okay, first off, here's the beauty of this.
	You can read Trump's withdrawal.
	Yep.
	It's not that hard to find.
	It's available on the State Department website at state.gov.
	And, of course, for people who are watching, we always provide all of our references.
	You go to loudearthquieter.com.
	I think we have the link in description of every video.
	It's in the description.
	There's usually like 40 to 60 any given day.
	It's all publicly available just to make... Why?
	Because we want to do the job that Poppy Harlow won't.
	No, she won't do it.
	And I mean Poppy, female, not And not Afghanistan reporter Opium Poppy.
	So the timeline from Donald Trump was set over nine and a half months.
	Withdrawal to be completed as opposed to Joe Biden who suddenly withdrew really over a couple of weeks.
	And here's one thing too, before I get into the technicalities, if there's anyone out there Who does not understand the difference between, okay, protecting all of our citizens, ambassadors, allies, getting them out first, then our troops who've protected our citizens and allies leave and destroy, level all of our shit, our military equipment before we leave, versus withdrawing our military to leave people to fend for themselves.
	If you don't understand that difference, You're an idiot or you're being disingenuous for crying out loud.
	Just play a Call of Duty game or watch any action film.
	The last guy to get on the chopper is the guy with the gun who sits on the edge.
	You do not withdraw military before other people, especially when you know that they're going to be overrun by the Taliban.
	Anyone who says they don't understand that fundamental difference is not being honest.
	And I'll go through some other differences.
	That's the only one that matters.
	And we knew about that, obviously.
	Not from just experience, but the people that were leading said, look, if you guys pull out, we will not be able to hold Kabul.
	You'll just have the airport.
	And they said, that's fine.
	We just need the airport.
	That's it.
	That's what they said.
	Well, first off, Joe Biden said, there won't be any complications.
	Right.
	Then he's like, well, we couldn't have done it without complications.
	No Americans will be left behind.
	Maybe 10% of Americans will be left behind.
	Do you think he's ordering milk?
	Like, ah, 2.5%, 3%, 1%.
	He has no idea what's going on.
	By the way, you don't water a ficus with milk.
	The ground will be sour!
	How do you say that there's going to be no complications when there's the Taliban?
	It's pretty clear, yeah.
	It's like, well, other than the Taliban, there's pretty much no complications.
	Some say they're kind of a wild card.
	Yes, you never know what they're going to do.
	So he does mention, they go, oh, Donald Trump released 5,000 prisoners.
	By the way, that's true.
	It's called a prisoner exchange.
	It happens all the time.
	Donald Trump released 5,000 prisoners in exchange for 1,000 prisoners.
	This is something that people know, as well as a provision for a historic peace deal.
	Something important that people need to know about Donald Trump.
	The second the Taliban attacked one American, I believe they killed one American, the deal was off the table.
	There were no talks for two weeks.
	Remember when Donald Trump went to North Korea?
	He crossed over that national border line.
	People freaked out.
	He went over and spoke with Kim Jong Un and said a bunch of nice things, right?
	Then the second he understood that Kim Jong Un had no interest in denuclearizing, he just left and took a big shit on him all over Twitter.
	That was it.
	It was over.
	Donald Trump's policy has always been to buy peace.
	We know that.
	You may not agree with that.
	It's been to attempt to purchase peace while holding a big stick in the other hand.
	So this was a prisoner exchange that's been going on forever.
	Do you know how I know?
	Obama did it!
	Many times!
	Do you guys remember when he released three high-ranking officials for American trader, Beau Bergdahl, who, by the way, I don't know if actual death for treason is a thing, but that guy would fit the criteria for sure.
	In that prisoner swap, he released the now-commander of the Taliban, I want to make sure I get this name right, Kairula Karawaka.
	What?
	Perfect.
	Also making an appearance on Sesame Street, is he?
	And also, this is something too, idiots.
	Look, it was a prisoner exchange and that was basically free leverage.
	Because think about this for a second.
	If we're withdrawing, those prisoners are going to be freed by the Taliban anyway.
	So it's saying, let's get at least a thousand of our prisoners out at this point because they're going to be free.
	You see what happens now?
	It's not like you can stop the Taliban.
	Yeah, exactly.
	At the end of a war, in any situation, you always let prisoners go in exchange for your people back.
	That's how you do this.
	Donald Trump was methodically walking towards a much more planned exit strategy.
	But you don't release three top ranking officials for Bo Bergdahl.
	You're like, who do you have?
	We have Bo Bergdahl.
	Well, that's 4,000 mouths we don't have to feed.
	4,000, you know, we save a lot of hummus money.
	If Bo's on the other side of the table and you want your leadership back, I'm like, I think you should keep him for a while.
	Maybe he needs to be over there for a little bit.
	Look, I've been very open on the show about my political leanings, and as the resident moderate in this studio, I wanted to bring on a liberal guest to kind of explain why he thinks Biden's, you know, choice was the right one.
	So maybe we can get another perspective.
	Do we have...
	It looks like we got him in.
	Who is this, Dave?
	Hello, guys.
	I forget, what is your name?
	Oh, my name is Jeff from Portland.
	That's your last name?
	Portland Jeff, my friends call me.
	Oh, okay.
	Thanks for calling in, man.
	Good to talk to you.
	Now, why do you think that what Biden did was the right strategy?
	Uh, well, Biden's strategy was, it was much simpler.
	See, with Trump's, it was very overcomplicated.
	There was a lot of, as most things Trump does, overcomplicated and underdeveloped.
	Is that a rocket launcher?
	This is a t-shirt shooter.
	It shoots flannel Coexist t-shirts.
	That seems benign.
	It doesn't look like that though.
	I'll take his word for it.
	I think he may have just put a Coexist sticker on a very dangerous weapon.
	How do you feel about weapons?
	Weapons?
	Oh, the weapons we've had recently have been wonderful.
	I mean, we're distributing them all over.
	In Portland?
	Oh, for Portland.
	No weapons here in Portland.
	But you just said you had them and were distributing them and it's all, you enjoy, you like weapons as a liberal?
	Well, if weapons are used, you know, educationally, if crimes are committed with weapons, and then the next generation can see how... Okay, I want to jump in here really quick.
	Did President Trump plan on removing the military before civilians?
	That's something we want to know.
	Yeah, there you go.
	He may, may have.
	Like I was saying, the plan was very sloppy.
	There was a lot of, well, if our troops are here, then the Taliban has to be over there.
	And then when we move the troops, the Taliban can move again.
	Very, very sloppy.
	What did he plan on abandoning our secure air base, Bagram Air Base, in the middle of the night without even telling our allies?
	That seems kind of pivotal.
	Yeah.
	I haven't read, I haven't read all of it.
	Do you mean sloppy like dangerous or like a poet who lives with her cats?
	Um, the, the, uh, Dangerous.
	Dangerous.
	Okay.
	Um, now it is, it has been well known, I don't know why you're asking someone from Portland, but, uh, it's well known that, uh, that, uh, former Vice President Joe Biden actually gave a name.
	What was that?
	Was that the Death to America?
	Oh, it was, uh, part of the music festival.
	I'm, I'm currently at, yeah, I'm at a, at a new music co-exist music festival.
	But I thought they weren't, isn't that a super spreader?
	Yeah.
	Well, we believe raising awareness is another way to combat the virus.
	Okay.
	Let me ask you this final question, because Donald Trump... Did Donald Trump... This is one thing that really bothers me, that you have Joe Biden.
	Again, if people out there don't understand the difference between...
	I don't understand the difference between leveling all of our crap and actually handing over a list in biometric scanners of Americans left and our Afghan allies.
	That's what Joe Biden did.
	Did Donald Trump plan on giving the Taliban the identity in biometric scanners of our allies when we left?
	I'm not sure that actually happened.
	That sounds like internet conspiracies.
	What's your take on a woman behind the wheel of a car?
	Oh, that is very dangerous and usually haram.
	All right, okay, that's enough.
	Thank you very much.
	Ted from Portland, that's enough.
	I don't think that's very predictable.
	That was really... I'm sorry, guys.
	That went off the rails, I feel like, a little bit.
	No, listen, it was fruitful.
	He lied in his email.
	I need better vetting than email.
	Better security than hotmail.
	You also send them money?
	I did.
	But I'm supposed to get a lot more back.
	I don't understand.
	People have to... Can someone... Look, you can... Again, the best thing you can do is comment.
	I want someone to play devil's advocate on this.
	What possible reason could there be to give over the identities, names, and biometric scanners of our allies to the Taliban?
	It's Taliban Uber.
	They said they were just... I guess.
	Uh, and I'm getting a little out of breath.
	What the?
	So, what is that?
	Oh!
	Is this good so I can get a break?
	That's weird.
	It's a Chinese fire drill!
	Where's the fire drill?
	Okay, it's here.
	Okay.
	Alright, you guys, let's reach because I can't breathe.
	You gotta sit down.
	Sit over... Sit.
	And I'm gonna come over here to Dave's place.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	You gotta sit down, sit over...
	I have a lot of...
	Sit.
	And I'm gonna come over here to Dave's place.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Hey, nice job.
	Hey, Wang.
	Bring him his water.
	No, Chair, not for you.
	Not for you.
	Not for you!
	Oh, I need to get that water.
	Do you need water?
	I don't want you to get hurt.
	Oh, thank you.
	Don't drink the COVID water.
	You're getting up again.
	I gotta run it.
	It's fine.
	It's a good chunk of, uh... What?
	It's a good chunk of, uh... Spittle?
	No, the... Just the missing piece of glass.
	Well, that was me.
	I went and shipped all the available mugs just for funsies.
	Well, sure.
	By the way, for people watching, we didn't know if I was going to be able to host this show today because I still have some diminished lung capacity.
	Severely diminished lung capacity.
	Again, my own doing.
	So now I can take a little bit of a break, be here in third chair while Dave can take over the reins, but this way we still get to do shows.
	So we'll see.
	Depending on the day, you may see me in this chair more or less.
	Yeah, where's your mask?
	Uh, I don't know, but I'm gonna lick this microphone.
	I'm a nurse.
	Oh, dude, I lick it all day.
	The more spit, the better.
	Well, let's talk about this.
	Ahoy, everybody!
	Hello!
	Hey!
	Hello, we've got a lot of people in the studio today.
	Just start from zero.
	Just start from the very beginning.
	And of course our favorite is back, the reason why you even watch the show, Stephen Grutter.
	We love having you back.
	Glad to be here.
	So now we have the segment on Ivermectin and COVID numbers.
	Yes we do, thank you.
	Well, Joe Rogan, as you know, recently set the world ablaze by talking about ivermectin after he was diagnosed with COVID.
	I got up in the morning, got tested, and turns out I got COVID.
	So we immediately threw the kitchen sink at it.
	All kinds of meds.
	Monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin, Z-Pak, prednisone, everything.
	No, it's not on his camera.
	Do you have prompter, Dave?
	I do.
	On camera?
	Yep, I do.
	Oh, okay.
	Oh, because I'm looking down?
	Yeah, I didn't know, because I don't use prompter.
	I normally use prompter, and then I'm trying to pretend like I'm not.
	But you pointed it out!
	I know.
	No, I did.
	I screwed him.
	I totally screwed Dave.
	I'm sorry.
	Look, I understand you're better at this.
	It was totally believable before.
	I was trying to help you because... I'm just trying to host.
	Stephen's not used to being in third chair, guys.
	It's a different... He likes third chair.
	He tells me.
	I do.
	It's fun.
	He texts me, too.
	It's like being at someone else's party.
	He's like, your job is easy.
	Remember that when you cash your check?
	So Joe Rogan freaked people out.
	Well he did, and now the media wants you to believe that Ivermectin is just veterinary medicine intended for livestock.
	Right.
	On top of everything else, the FDA has to warn people not to take livestock dewormer.
	Doctors say Oklahomans are using the cow deworming medicine, Ivermectin, to treat or prevent COVID-19.
	For those who may not know, the main ingredient of horsewormer Is Ivermectin.
	Ivermectin has gotten a lot of attention lately as people try to push some other means of COVID protection and treatment.
	Okay, pause real quick.
	I mean, other than just getting the COVID vaccine.
	Okay, pause real quick.
	We have more, but... Right, thank you.
	But I would... That's one... This is something that really bothers me, okay?
	As an alternative treatment, an alternative to what?
	When people are talking, again we're not giving any medical advice, when people say as an alternative treatment, what treatment do they give you right now for COVID?
	I'm not talking about a vaccine, which people obviously should make that decision between them and their prescribing physician.
	Of course everyone should have the right and decision to control their own body and what they put in their own body.
	What treatment, though, if you already have COVID?
	If you go to the hospital now, they say go home and take Tylenol, come back in, and they toss you on a ventilator.
	In other words, let's say ivermectin were used, which it has been in some other countries.
	We cannot argue whether it's been used effectively or not, because that's not allowed on YouTube.
	However, I think we could say Joe Rogan did effectively use it, though, or at least in his opinion.
	Along with the monoclonal antibodies.
	Yes.
	Yeah, but three days later he tested negative.
	But the point is, as an alternative treatment, let's say you used ivermectin, let's say you used hydroxychloroquine, let's say you used whatever it could be, vitamin C, castongaroot, take your pick.
	It would be in lieu of what treatment given to you at the hospital.
	None!
	They don't give you any right now.
	They say, Tylenol, come back, and they toss you on a ventilator.
	There are no treatments.
	If you get the flu, right, let's say you get a flu shot, you can still get the flu, you go in, they have treatments that they give you for the flu.
	That is not the case with COVID.
	That's my point there.
	When they say, oh, there's an alternative treatment, First off, alternative, approved by the FDA, prescribed to hundreds of millions of people, but alternative to what COVID treatment at that?
	Well, I think if you're elderly, they try to put you in with other elderly people where somebody can hit you.
	And then they fill those homes with... Elderly crips.
	Yes, it's called punch the COVID out of your face.
	Well, I agree with you, but I have heard that horses love it.
	Yeah, that's...
	Yeah, see?
	That's weird.
	That's weird.
	He loves it.
	He's having a good time.
	Would you actually have more of that clip?
	Oh, the montage?
	Sorry, I cut it off.
	I was complaining.
	I apologize.
	So things are clearly bad, but they're being made even worse by people who have refused to take the vaccine and instead are swallowing horse pace.
	What would you tell someone who is considering taking that drug?
	Oh, God.
	Don't do it.
	There's no evidence whatsoever that that works and it could potentially have toxicity, as you just mentioned, with people who have gone to poison control centers because they've taken the drug at a ridiculous dose and wind up getting sick.
	There's no clinical evidence that indicates that this works.
	Oh, so taking mega doses is a problem just like Tylenol or Aspirin?
	For liver patients?
	Yeah.
	Makes perfect sense.
	Anyone who calls it horse dewormer, any reporter, is guilty of journalistic malpractice.
	Oh yeah.
	Well that's what I love is the people online who are just like, horse dewormer, haha, and then they snort ketamine.
	Yeah, right.
	Alright, well let's admit it's not just for animals.
	Mane and tail shampoo, and I'm like, hmm.
	For crying out loud, Danny Bonaduce was on steroids that were supposed to be used for bulls.
	He's all natural.
	But it worked for him.
	Yeah, he really turned into a bull.
	Look at that guy.
	Did you guys ever see that one where he threw that gay reality star over his shoulder?
	Have you guys seen that video?
	No.
	Alright, someone bring it up.
	We'll find it.
	We'll bring it up on Mug Club.
	He comes on stage and there's a gay guy from a reality show.
	I don't remember who the gay guy was.
	He goes out to hug Danny Bonaduce and he jumps on him, wraps his legs around him, as a woman would, and goes like, like gyrates, and Danny Bonaduce...
	Is it Johnny Fairplay from Survivor?
	Is that it?
	It must be it.
	Is Danny wearing bedazzled jeans?
	Because he's pretty good at that.
	Yeah, he is.
	And he throws them and you hear the guy's teeth hit the stage.
	We'll bring it on Mug Club.
	It is hysterical, but sorry, continue.
	He single-handedly made Ed Hardy a very rich man.
	Well, Ivermectin is for humans.
	It is an anti-parasitic medicine with an over 30 year history in treating humans.
	The Nobel Prize in Physiology of Medicine was awarded to, and I want to make sure I'm saying this right, Satyoshi Amura and William Campbell, who discovered it in 1975.
	That's a fun way of saying the white guy took it.
	We'll both take the prize, thank you.
	Yeah, Satoshi's, let me hang on to it for a second.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh, you discovered this?
	Me too!
	I'm the Thomas Edison of the medicine world.
	Satoshi's at his loft, he just sees it above the toilet, he's like, is that, uh, no, no, no, it's a replica.
	I took yours and I made it better, I added sugar.
	And it's so effective, and with such an incredible safety profile, it has been on the WHO's list of essential medicines for almost 20 years.
	That is the World Health Organization, not E. Townsend, the guy who researches child porn for an acting role.
	Right, yes.
	Which was also really awkward when Daniel Day-Lewis did it.
	Yes.
	He was like, LEAVE ME MY CHILD PORN!
	You're like, that's not... That's not method acting, man.
	In the movie My Left Hand.
	Oh come on, that was a brilliant pull.
	Again, this is something that has a long history Being used with human beings, and it's just amazing.
	I don't think, okay, I feel like I say this a lot, but it's definitely one of the most clear displays of blatant media bias, trying to misrepresent a story.
	Oh, of course.
	Well, but it means another story that we had.
	You remember when hydroxychloroquine was being promoted by a ton of people for different reasons?
	You mean fish cleaner?
	Exactly.
	We had the fish tank cleaner thing.
	Like, listen, don't go take fish cleaner.
	Then some broad officer husband, like, here, take this.
	This is going to cure you.
	He happened to die!
	It's a terrible thing, but what a great story that she was like, no, I just I just heard this on the news.
	Here's your medicine.
	Here's some Swiss Miss.
	She just did it while he was holding his head underwater in a pool.
	She taps it on the top.
	Well, it's the same as injecting bleach.
	No one said that.
	No one said that at all.
	And by the way, let's say that it's used in veterinary medicine.
	There are tons of drugs that are used in veterinary medicine.
	For example, when I had... Ketamine.
	Yeah, ketamine.
	They used ketamine to put me out for my surgery.
	You got a little K-hole from the surgery?
	Well, no, what they gave me, I guess it's the right dosage, because it just puts you out.
	And I came back completely clear.
	I was surprised, because I don't remember any of it.
	You didn't buy it from my friend Paul?
	Paul Mayo.
	They go, oh, something something dose of ketamine.
	And I go, what the fuck?
	You're giving me horse tranquilizer?
	Like, yeah, but we use it here too.
	So ketamine.
	He's got a hemp necklace.
	Pepsid, Prilosec, Benadryl, Gabapen was something we had to use with our dogs.
	Anti-anxiety medication.
	Xanax.
	Xanax, yeah.
	There are all kinds of medications that are used in humans and animals.
	And if you look at ivermectin, it has been prescribed to... How many people...
	have been prescribed ivermectin.
	Millions.
	Millions of people have been prescribed it for infections.
	There's all kinds of infections you can get.
	Well, there's what?
	There's river blindness, which is a.k.a.
	eyeball worms, threadworms, which is a.k.a.
	elephantitis, scabies, the one that your dad warned you about, those girls with the scabies.
	Who is diagnosing all of these?
	Is it Davy Jones the pirate?
	He's like, you probably got eyeball worms from the river blindness.
	Here's a lemon higher.
	By the way, if you go in my room, be sure not to open me, scabies monger.
	He's probably got threadworm, there's no doubt about it.
	Look at those giant balls.
	He's got hook hand.
	It's even been used for rosacea, for Celtic.
	Yeah, I got a little Celtic in me.
	Do you?
	Yeah.
	Do you get rosacea?
	And by the way, some people are saying, oh, it's antiparasitic.
	Well, there are plenty of antiparasitic medications that have antiviral properties, and I don't have time to get into the difference between antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic, but there is absolute crossover depending on how it affects the cell membrane, The lipid layer.
	So it's not unheard of at all for medications to be used off-label.
	And this has been over 250 million people, I think, is the number, annually.
	Oh yeah, that is right.
	That's the actual number.
	250 million people.
	A quarter billion, if you will.
	Annually!
	Wow.
	Annually!
	A year.
	That's insane.
	They've served as many people Evermectin as McDonald's has burgers, basically.
	Well, it's a rounding error if titty tattoo is... Well, that's true.
	I mean, it depends on the person.
	I could just watch her go to the drive-thru and look at the numbers change.
	Oh, yes.
	Do you think that she had to hold it up for him to tattoo?
	Yes.
	Yeah, 100%.
	There's a mechanism going on.
	She had to flip it up like the original Starbucks mermaid logo.
	Or maybe he had, like, assistants.
	Yeah.
	No, you would have to have assistants.
	You'd have to tie that.
	Right, yeah.
	Did you know that the original Starbucks logo is a siren and you actually see the full boobs?
	Yeah.
	Really?
	Yeah, yeah, if you zoom out.
	We'll talk about that on Mug Club.
	Is that true?
	Yeah, it's a true thing.
	You see full boobs and it's like her spreading her boobs.
	I've never wanted to see that list.
	Is it an original one?
	I know she's a mermaid, but is it a specific... is it in every single Starbucks?
	Originally, the original logo was the mermaid or siren, yeah, where you saw the boobs.
	Mermaids wore manatees, correct?
	And they thought they were... that's how the...
	Is that true?
	I have no idea.
	It was from drinking salt water and they saw the manatees and they thought they were half-women.
	They tried to have sex with them.
	It's just a bunch of baby sailors banging manatees.
	That's all it was.
	They were like, I had the hottest half-fish lady at sea.
	You'd never guess.
	Davy Jones, that was a manatee.
	I thought it'd be a TikToker.
	She lured me in.
	I couldn't tell.
	I can't see from the eye worms.
	I need me an antiparasitic.
	Or is it antiviral?
	I don't know.
	This has taken place centuries before term theory.
	Give me a ventilator.
	We have better medicine back then.
	By the way, we're not making any, any medical claims.
	No, we have merely made an observation that various countries are researching ivermectin as a treatment and prevention against COVID.
	That's it.
	Yeah.
	Research.
	And I know, and I can hear some people now, and Gerald, because your wife is a nurse, you know, like people make up something, well, actually, the maker of ivermectin, is it Merck?
	Merck.
	Short for Merkin.
	Yeah.
	They say it doesn't work for COVID.
	Well, here's the thing.
	Sure, they're the maker.
	Their patent expired in 1996, so you can get a $2 generic pill.
	And they were just granted $350-something million to create their own COVID vaccine.
	Again, all references available at the website, letitgetbetter.com, link in the description.
	You know what?
	Hey, how much money can you make off Merck?
	Merck, how much money can you make off of Ivermectin?
	None.
	$350 million for a vaccine and then a multi-billion dollar government contract makes a little more sense than something less profitable than aspirin.
	Well, I love how all of a sudden, though, clinical trials and data over several years matters.
	Yeah.
	All of a sudden.
	All of a sudden, that's a very important thing.
	And by the way, in that Merck release, they actually said, at the current dosages that we were studying, and with the population.
	So they added some qualifiers there, so that they could cover themselves just a little bit.
	Right.
	It was so easy to find, too.
	That's what bothers me the most, where you can just see, oh, this is unprofitable.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	It was that simple.
	Well, because that's the attack that the left has always used, if you were saying, you know, for example, there is no, no one could possibly... You mean before they became the voice of Big Pharma?
	Yeah, before they became the voice of Big Pharma.
	of big pharma, there can be no vested interest in something like ivermectin and something
	like hydroxychloroquine.
	We know that there obviously is.
	I mean, what a brilliant business model right now when we're talking about the vaccine.
	And I'm not even attributing any nefarious motives here at all.
	If you want to take the Trump vaccine, you can thank Donald Trump for it.
	You can take the Trump vaccine.
	But what a brilliant business model to create a vaccine, and then God knows what's going
	to happen with the variant, because there are variants with all kinds of coronaviruses
	that have existed since the beginning, since the inception of coronaviruses.
	And now, because of a variant, you need another booster.
	And of course, there will be another variant, and you're going to need another booster.
	So once you join that circus, you better stick along for the ride for the rest of your life, because they didn't tell you that.
	And there are a lot of people right now, look, you want to solve vaccine hesitancy?
	Then you need to be straightforward about it, and tell people, we are just going to demand never-ending boosters as soon as there's a variant that comes out, and we know that coronaviruses mutate, and it's very likely you'll be having to do them, you know, not even like a flu shot every year, right now, what are they talking about, after four months?
	Perhaps they could say it's a rushed vaccine, maybe.
	Maybe.
	I'm not trying to say that.
	Well, but in, you know, Ireland, sorry, in Israel right now, totally different countries, by the way.
	Yeah.
	Two very different people.
	One of them drinks heavy.
	They were, I'll leave that to you to find out, they were... I did.
	They were saying that, you know, you have to have two vaccine shots to be able to go out and have a vaccine passport and do stuff.
	And now they're saying if you don't have the third, you're treated as essentially unvaccinated.
	Like if you don't have the booster, you are now back to being unvaccinated.
	And so the goalpost just keeps moving in these things.
	So, don't think we're like conspiracy theorists here.
	We're like, this is happening real time in other countries.
	Yeah, well, and what bothers me is, at least as per the CDC, it's actually being given to refugees from all, like, Middle Eastern countries.
	So, Ivermectin.
	Yeah, Ivermectin.
	Ivermectin is being given to all refugees, I believe, from the Middle East, Asia, North Africa, Latin America, Caribbean countries.
	Not for COVID!
	So, just in case, The overlords at Big Tech, we're not saying that they're giving it to them for COVID, we're saying that they're giving it to them for parasites that are often brought in, and we're not saying that refugees are parasites, we're not even saying that they're parasite-riddled.
	We are just saying that the CDC recommends all of these mass hysteria refugees be given ivermectin.
	Hey, by the way, Lily just sent in that Merck is launching new trials of oral COVID-19 drugs.
	It's gonna be ivermectin with a time-release coating.
	No, it's time-a-vectin.
	It's totally different.
	It's time-a-vectin in a gel cap!
	Oh look, it turns out we had the cure laying around.
	We were filing patent paper, I mean trials.
	I was using it to level my desk because I ran out of sugar packets.
	That Rogan guy's talking about it, we better get on this.
	Oh my gosh, he has so much influence.
	How do you make $240 million on Spotify?
	I can't, I can't.
	We can't compete.
	I feel like Joe just took everything that would piss off the media.
	He's like, I don't even know if he really had COVID.
	I think he did.
	But could you imagine the just big head fake?
	He was like, let's do this.
	I'm going to take everything that they hate and in three days it's going to be gone.
	He was like a squid of middle fingers.
	Oh yeah.
	Everywhere.
	Everything.
	And then he tested negative three days later.
	That's what I love is the, it's the same as the media.
	We're not saying again, take it.
	We're just saying that calling it horse dewormer is not true.
	About Joe is yeah, he took it, everybody, you know, all of a sudden you get half of
	the country, not half the country, but a good portion of people basically wishing death
	on him because they're so progressive.
	And then he beats it in three days.
	I realize when you said Joe, I was thinking former Vice President Joe Biden, because I always hear Joe Rogan.
	No.
	I was like, Joe took Ivermectin, and now I understand.
	I don't think he's going to beat what he has.
	No.
	That's terminal.
	What are we doing?
	Someone stabbing him with a dopamine pen like Russell Crowe in 310 to Yula.
	They're going to hang me in the morning!
	Like Hillary.
	Don't do that.
	I forgot how much my chest hurts.
	Dude, in the 90s, Axel Rose came out more promptly than the president.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	And here's something, too.
	When people say, you know, in their last breath, I blame the unvaccinated.
	Oh, geez.
	I don't want it.
	I blame the fat.
	Right.
	This is another, well, you know.
	Unless it's on a steak, because sometimes that is.
	Yeah, I do love a ribeye.
	Anyone who picks a New York strip over a ribeye needs to be hung.
	I just don't get it.
	Hung and quartered.
	Like, it's right there.
	But this brings us, when we're talking about COVID, We only talk about the healthcare system.
	What happened to wellness?
	I think we're allowed to talk about that on YouTube and on Big Tech, about actually being healthy, about actually keeping yourself well before you really get any kind of transmissible virus or disease.
	And I think this brings us to another Well, actually, I did see a bit of that, though, after he recovered, that you saw from the left going, well, yeah, look at how much he works out, look at how he takes care of himself.
	Of course he beat it in three days.
	And it's like, okay, so what is it?
	Why is everything an argument?
	If you really care about human life, let's look at how this works.
	Right.
	And instead, they're just trying to create more mass hysteria about the Delta Variant!
	Don't even say the name of the Delta Variant!
	Fear-mongering!
	And the CDC director is calling the Delta COVID variant one of the most infectious respiratory viruses she's ever seen.
	Ever.
	The state is also seeing an alarming spike in cases among children.
	But with that Delta variant quickly spreading across the country, health officials are concerned at least some of these bikers may take home more than just a few memories.
	It ain't gonna be COVID, let me tell you.
	You mean an old lady on the back of an Indian at Sturgis?
	How much of a threat is the Delta variant right now?
	Here you go.
	Judy, it's a significant threat.
	Well, Robin, this is not your grandfather's COVID.
	Wait, no kidding.
	They should have never hired the slogan writer for Jaws sequence.
	Now your grandpappy's... My grandfather's dead, so... COVID, I'll be back.
	I'll be back.
	Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the ICU.
	Now you're dead.
	Just when you thought it was safe to take off your mask.
	You're dead.
	COVID.
	This time, it's Deltanol.
	Delta Force 2.
	Oh, that was such a terrible movie.
	Yeah, Delta Force wasn't.
	No, Delta Force 2 wasn't.
	Yeah, Delta Force 2.
	I mean, Delta Force was also, but in a fun way.
	Yeah.
	I like Chuck Norris, let's be honest.
	So, I think that this is something, too, we need to talk about... Walker, Texas Ranger?
	No.
	I have a story about that, we'll tell it later.
	There are over 300 million... how many people in America?
	300 million in America and over 40 million cases...
	So, of COVID.
	Yeah.
	So about 40 million cases of COVID, 300 million Americans, and then in two, so in two years.
	Yes.
	Keep in mind, too, a flu season is measured from, hey, Gerald, your wife's a nurse, is it measured from, is it September through April or is it October through May?
	I think it's something right around that, yeah.
	So it's like fall to spring.
	Right.
	So that's when they measure flu season.
	But we're talking about now two years, basically.
	Thirteen percent of the population that it's affected.
	There have been six- how many deaths, Dave?
	You have the numbers.
	I believe it's six hundred and sixty-six.
	Oh, no.
	Six, six, six.
	Six, six, six.
	Oh, that means only one thing.
	The re- 🎵
	🎵 Nice mask, p***y.
	🎵 🎵
	Say what you want about Devil Walrus, he is multi-faceted when it comes to employment.
	He really is, and you know, he might terrorize you, but he still cares about the health of others.
	He's not sitting on unemployment right now.
	He might kill you, but he's gonna make sure you don't get sick.
	I don't know how much that mask works when he pierces a hole through his tux.
	So that means when you do the numbers, is it 0.2?
	0.2%?
	No, 0.2% of the population.
	Yeah, 0.2% of the population.
	Correct, yes.
	Is that correct?
	Yes.
	In two years.
	I know it's the same.
	It's a joke.
	In two years!
	Now, here's, I think, I think what matters though too is we can talk, I think we need to look at that.
	So 0.2% of the population have died from COVID.
	This is assuming, by the way, no false positives.
	This is assuming that no one died with COVID as opposed to from COVID, like someone who, I don't know, died from a motorcycle accident or tried to blow their head off with a shotgun and was listed as a COVID death.
	Let's just assume all these numbers are accurate.
	That's a conversation we've had in other shows.
	We'll have links in the descriptions.
	I think then it does matter 0.2% if there's a disproportionate I guess I should say enclave of society who was affected by COVID.
	Who are those people?
	Those numbers matter.
	And I believe Dave has.
	Well, now I'm just seeing where we're at.
	Well, the numbers are fairly small, right?
	I mean, now what age group is the most affected by COVID?
	Uh, well, we know it's over 85 years old.
	Okay, so 85 years old, had the highest COVID death rate of 1,797 per 100,000 in the U.S., which, that's not, I mean, that's not horribly, I mean, it's horrible if somebody dies, but if you're 85, I think one of the things that might kill you is just you.
	85.
	You know, time.
	You're up there.
	It's fine.
	If I hit 85, I'm going to be very surprised.
	Getting your balls trapped under your hover around?
	Oh, can you imagine getting tangled with other guys?
	But I was going to the Grand Canyon!
	Not today!
	I hurt all the time.
	I hurt all the time. Are you my wife?
	No Oh, thank God, bet!
	That's what I hated about the notebook.
	Would you really just rush to the hospital to remind your wife who you are?
	I'd be like, is she still not knowing stuff?
	Alright, I'll be back in two months.
	Hopefully it'll be a burial.
	She's Miss Oklahoma, what the hell is it?
	Put a sash on her.
	I'm gonna make up a new story every day until she freaks out on me.
	By the way, and this is the thing too, when you say is it a tragedy, it does matter because studies from I think it was the UK and Italy, right, they found that the average death age, I don't know if it was the average, the median, the mean, was 80 years old by comparison.
	I mean life expectancy is 78.
	Yeah.
	And Italy has, I believe, a proportionately larger number of elderly people.
	They do, yes.
	Very much so.
	I mean, that's going to be exactly what should happen.
	That's kind of what you would expect.
	And this information is necessary when trying to diagnose how you're going to treat people around the world and what kind of measures you need to put in place to save them.
	Not throwing old folks back in with other old folks when they're sick would probably be a place to start.
	Cuomo.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Whitmer.
	I'm just saying.
	Not that Whitmer would do that.
	I think she's a stand-up gal.
	I'd like to take her to a dance.
	She stands up on stilts with striped stockings.
	She's a bad woman.
	They just roll up under that house every single time.
	She's next to the cauldron with Bette Midler.
	She's the only governor who has on hand for some reason in her carry-all Eye of Newt You never know.
	You just never know.
	Oh, she's the worst.
	I mean, she's great.
	Maybe you should call Feds and have you kidnapped.
	So let's be clear, this answer...
	It hurts.
	Ah, it's hurting worse.
	What's so funny is you can say that because it's been proven.
	Yeah.
	Now, let's be clear.
	The stance from the media has been the only facet to address COVID is vaccines or nothing.
	Yeah, vaccines or nothing.
	And some doctors are even refusing to treat patients who haven't been vaccinated, which is crazy.
	I just can't imagine.
	You know what, okay, what if a doctor said, oh, well, your BMI is bacon grease, so I'm not serving you.
	Right.
	I'm not helping you.
	This was entirely preventable.
	I have been your primary physician for 10 years.
	You've never lost weight.
	As a matter of fact, you've gained weight because you became a member of the Fat Pride movement, and I'm through with it.
	I'm tired of pushing the boulder uphill.
	Yeah.
	They'd cut up your license.
	Right.
	Well, rightfully so, right?
	They're like, oh, you smoke?
	Yeah, sorry.
	It's tough that you can't breathe right now, but we need the oxygen for other people who are making better life choices.
	Right.
	Well, it's like Candace Owens, who just wanted to get a test.
	To make sure she didn't snitch!
	Well, that was because she was black.
	Yeah, that's true.
	He Googled her.
	He didn't read anything about her.
	He just saw her face and was like, nah.
	You go somewhere else.
	Not in these pots.
	You ain't black.
	I don't test that.
	I don't cut the hair.
	Oh, schmear some coconut oil, call it a day.
	Yeah, she was trying to do the right thing, and then you have somebody who disagrees with you.
	Like, could you imagine having to agree with every doctor you've ever met on every political stance in order to get help?
	It's like, well, he bled out.
	We didn't even finish the conversation.
	Yeah, but do people die because of stupid decisions?
	Like, have you seen the shows, Faces of Death and stuff like that?
	Yes!
	Or get hurts or maimed?
	That's pretty much how- You gotta fill out a questionnaire when you go in?
	Well, how did you do that to yourself?
	Well... Yeah, whatever lie you're gonna write down.
	Yeah, exactly!
	Come on, what are you doing?
	You're like, oh, you mean, how did the cucumber get in my anus?
	Oh, well, I slipped in a grocery store.
	I'm a real butterfinger.
	My bad.
	How did Macaroni Midler get up there?
	You know, I was feeling self-punitive.
	They're talking to her husband.
	He's like, I was just trying to be with the sexier one.
	I was trying to end it.
	Look at my wife.
	You see her.
	We know that it affects the old.
	We know that it affects the infirm.
	So, a very small percentage when we're looking at the numbers of young people get COVID, but I think it matters.
	What could be a factor in young people dying of COVID?
	Number one risk factor.
	Obesity.
	Nobody could have seen that coming.
	Anyone under the age of 65.
	Was it the NIH funded study?
	The NIH funded study found obese patients under 65 were at a significantly higher risk of death or overall from COVID and not patients over 60.
	But I think there's a number, wasn't it like three times or something more likely?
	Yeah, three times.
	Three times a higher risk of hospitalization.
	One point, one and a half times.
	higher risk of severe illness accord by the way according to the CDC yeah this is all them 65 is young yeah well anyone under the age of 65 because that's a cutoff where something happens with your immune system the same reason that vaccines don't necessarily interact the same with old people young people oh if you're If you're following the science, it would be interesting to know how immune systems change, mature, how they weaken.
	Also, why people who have blood-type pudding are at greater risk.
	So I think that's sort of a self-explanatory issue.
	According to the CDC, a three-time higher risk... Somebody go snapped in the playground?
	A three-time high risk of hospitalization, but you can't say it because we've said that everything is, that every body type is healthy.
	Yeah.
	And so when you see stories, have you guys seen these stories where it says young healthy teen dies of COVID?
	Oh, no.
	Oh, I know.
	I was accidentally very rude on one of them.
	Do we have pictures of the people from those?
	Do we have some?
	I don't, but I can pull some up.
	Let's pull some up.
	Yeah, let's pull some up.
	It's not what you think.
	Well, one of them is like... This guy pulls up in a van, he's like, you want some candy?
	He's like, no, I got diabetes.
	That's what I like to hear.
	Oh, these kids are easy to catch now, you just need a net.
	They can't run as fast.
	They all got the sugar foot.
	Sugar foot's my favorite term.
	No, it's great.
	It's the best.
	Well, when you see stories that young and...
	Okay, I got a picture.
	Oh, yeah, here we go.
	This is the young healthy.
	All right, now.
	Young healthy.
	We're all at home.
	Let's be careful.
	We're not making fun of any of these people.
	No, not at all.
	We're just trying to.
	We're just showing you.
	Well, especially if you're young and a kid at this age, we're not making fun of you at
	all.
	We're just trying to say, like, I'm a father.
	You're a father.
	You're a father.
	Yeah.
	Look at, you have to look, you're a father.
	It's not the kid's fault, it's the parent's fault.
	Well there was a picture of somebody in Ohio and it said young healthy person, I think this was like a CNN article, and she was she was very much overweight and I said like that it was very sad but that you had to weigh all of the factors when somebody dies.
	I didn't mean that to be a pun!
	I wasn't trying to be a jerk, I got all these responses that were like... Wow, that's a brilliant joke on the incident.
	This must affect you a ton.
	Is this really weighing on you?
	I'm like, what did I say?
	I went back and was like, oh crap.
	Oh no.
	By the way, we have all those links available at the website.
	There's one from The Sun, CNN, ABC, Yahoo, News 3 Memphis.
	There's so many examples of perfectly healthy, but you can't say that's unhealthy when you've been mounting a PR campaign to tell everyone that they have to recognize... Shit, just wrote, we really gotta chew the fat before we determine this.
	Anyways.
	You make a better point.
	I'm just laughing at a fact joke.
	There's been this whole national movement, Stephen, to make sure people get in shape and lose weight so that they have a better chance of surviving COVID if they were to get it, right?
	We've seen that all over the country, right?
	It's all over.
	All over the world, in fact.
	Yeah, they demand that you recognize them as healthy, even if they are morbidly obese.
	I think we have a montage.
	This is the West Memphis...
	Oh, West Memphis family.
	For crying out loud!
	That's not fair for her.
	Did I do?
	You did mess up the prompter there.
	Just hit the little check mark.
	It just slipped.
	Hit the checkmark on the top left, Dave.
	Top left?
	Yeah.
	For crying out loud, he treats computers like he's the average COVID patient.
	He's like, hold on, let me get my glasses.
	Nobody said I knew how to use computers.
	No, so they've been demanding that you recognize them.
	This is where we are.
	People who are morbidly obese as beautiful, fit, and brave.
	Here you go.
	This is what creates a pandemic.
	Get medical equipment that will actually work for fat patients, like blood pressure cuffs that fit, and won't give a false high reading because they're too tight.
	Set up their office in a way that makes it usable for fat people, like putting chairs without arms in every room.
	When you go to a clothing store, tell them to expand their size range.
	It does not matter what their size range currently is.
	Tell them to expand it.
	People keep asking me to clarify what a b-belly is.
	I did shoot a video explaining this a couple months ago, but now it's so far down on the list that people can't find it.
	So it looks like the capital letter B. That's the long and short of it.
	So this is what mine looks like.
	There is a chubby upper part that looks like the top of the letter B, and a chubby lower part that looks like the bottom part, and then there is a waistband in the middle separating the two where your belly button is.
	Now this THIS IS A BIKINI BODY!
	Well, sure, if you're just slapping things that aren't things you're saying they are.
	BIKINI BODY!
	I have an acid in my throat.
	That second-to-last, uh... That second-to-last, uh... Don't.
	Be nice.
	I thought, like, oh, okay, she's cute, and then she's like... Yeah, and then she, like, zoomed out.
	I think they're going for buoyancy.
	I think it's just a nice fupa.
	Look, there's curves.
	There are.
	And then there's when you create new appendages.
	Yeah.
	That don't exist.
	It's a problem.
	Yeah.
	Look, I mean, this is the thing.
	When people say, oh, look, anyone who's unvaccinated, you have blood on your hands.
	Okay.
	Well, anyone who isn't speaking out against the obesity, you have lard on your hands.
	That's true.
	Or pudding.
	Very slippery.
	And eventually... Your hands are coated in Crisco.
	Either way.
	Like a seagull in a BP oil spill, your hands.
	Yes.
	Oh, yes.
	Oh, yes, Gerald.
	Have you been to a BP oil spill?
	I heard it's not a good time.
	Well, it depends.
	If you hate seagulls, it's pretty fun.
	That's why I throw six-pack holders in the sea.
	They don't even make them anymore, but you just like... I found some, and I just keep them to litter.
	I just go down to the Gulf with a giant can of Pam.
	Just looking for bottlenose dolphins.
	Just grabbing a bird and putting gasoline on it, you got?
	Are you gonna burn that?
	Nah, nah, he's just gonna live with it.
	It's a pterodactyl bird from the Flintstones who can talk.
	He's like, yeah, this is sicko!
	What we're saying is you can blame the unvaccinated all you want, but you are at a far greater risk and a far greater burden on our healthcare system if you choose to remain at an entirely preventable and reversible metabolic state.
	It's something you can change.
	It's something you can control.
	It's something that will affect your capability to fight off viruses, diseases of any kind as you move forward is diet and exercise.
	And it certainly is more relevant as we're trying to create the social safety net of socialized healthcare.
	And I come from Canada where I experienced it and it sucks.
	When we're talking about offloading the costs onto other people, we have an obesity problem in this country.
	I don't think that people who are obese should be ashamed and secluded from society, but I certainly don't think that we should be lying to people, telling them that it's all healthy, all body types are healthy, And then, blaming a pandemic on the unvaccinated, when the fact is, the obese in this country are the most hardest hit.
	And you can even look at a geographical map.
	It reads basically like a franchise pamphlet for Jack in the Box.
	So, people out there, you can comment.
	Of course, YouTube, thank you so much.
	Everyone who's been watching, first show back.
	The show every Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
	Eastern.
	You can tune in.
	We're going to be here tomorrow.
	We're going to go talk about Lizzo, isn't that right?
	We are, and again, I'll be in Spokane this weekend.
	But until then... You wanna say it?
	Yeah, I feel like it should be you, man.
