Time Text
🎵Music🎵 Hey there, little man!
I was a good friend of your father's.
I served with him in that Hanoi pit of hell for over five years.
Had it been me who died like your dad died a bunch, I would be talking Well, I wouldn't be.
I would be dead like your dad.
But your dad would be talking to my son right now.
Jimmy.
About nutrition.
Jimmy has hobbled legs.
And I don't know if he's mine.
I don't like him.
But, you know, he's a boy.
Still.
So, anyway.
Your dad told me to bring you something special.
And I want to keep my word.
What I got is called the Bilt Bar.
It was first purchased by your dad in a little general store by a company called Bilt Bar.
The first company to make Bilt Bars.
Your father always liked to have an extra one on him and it was in his pocket when he was shot down over Hanoi.
He knew if the Viet Cong ever saw this delicious and nutritious Bilt Bar Then it'd be confiscated, taken away.
He'd be damned if any Charlies were gonna put their greasy hands on his boy's birthright.
So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something.
His a**.
Five long years, he kept this bar in his a**.
Then he died of dysentery, gave the bar to me, and I hid this tasty hunk of wonder up my a** for two years.
Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family.
And now, little man...
Ugh!
Oh!
Here, take it!
it.
Take my a**es, Bill Barr!
Oh no!
Driverstop.com!
Do a strange animal, that's what I know.
Do a strange animal, I know the ball.
And that sip was just right.
Thank you, Johnny.
Really?
Yeah, it's just right.
How many times... Like the baby bear.
With the baby bear, which really... Goldilocks was a felon.
She was.
That wasn't her house.
No, that wasn't her house.
She had no business being there.
She absolutely should have been mauled.
Squatter's rights.
I'm sorry.
Is that it?
Squatter's rights.
It was Pacific Heights Goldilocks.
White girls think they can do whatever they want.
Yeah, it's true.
Joke, ladies.
If you go into the woods today, you're gonna hear a me too.
I don't know why she swallowed that fly.
That's not Goldilocks, is it?
I don't think so.
You shouldn't die from swallowing a fly unless it's in Zambia and then, you know, it's really more of the I don't know why a family wasn't home and there was porridge and it was all various temperatures.
Yes.
It doesn't make sense.
I also don't understand why, being a minimalist, they had to have beds of different softness and different chairs.
Like, come on, just make it uniform, bears.
Picking apart a children's book.
What is it with, and then they have the four pigs, three pigs.
Three.
And the wolf.
Oh, there was four.
What'd you expect?
Well, yeah, but what'd you... Died in Nam.
Yeah, well, that's the official story.
Right, right.
Shallow grave.
Fourth pig had COVID.
Yeah, had swine flu.
Oh, that's right.
right? H1N1. I'm incredibly sure. Why would you build a house out of straw? That's my
point. If you see your brother building a house out of bricks, you should have known
better and huff and puff you should be dead. What was the third house? There was straw,
sticks and brick.
Sticks!
Yeah.
It actually would be a lot harder to build a house out of straw than bricks.
It would be.
You have to put a lot of effort into building a crappy house.
It was a native pig, so it was just going back.
We're off the beam here.
Okay, look, guys, glad to be with you.
Look, it is a live show Monday through Thursday, if you're still here.
10 a.m.
Eastern, if we're not on YouTube, we're on Rumble.
We will let you know when we have to miss a day.
If we're on location shooting like a Change My Mind or a Super Video, Don't be worried about my nasal voice right now.
It's not the Omicron.
It's the southern wind and the pollen and the bum piss from Austin.
So 10 a.m.
Eastern.
Just tune in.
It'll be on the Rumble.
And we have a lot to talk about today.
I don't know if you know this.
Inflation is really bad.
No.
What?
At a 40-year high.
And a big part of that, of course, is the drug companies also want to privatize profits, socialize losses.
We're going to get into Merck and Pfizer a little bit and how they've been buying off politicians.
Also some Republicans that I'm not necessarily thrilled with.
Also, Joy Reid is a person.
Still?
Yeah, I didn't know this.
I thought she was fired.
I think, yeah, but she still isn't human technically.
Really?
She's an unemployed person.
Oh, I thought... But I can never tell if it's a Joyread clip or a clip of someone else, because... Was she stung by a bee?
Is it a hairdo change?
Is it a weave?
I never... She never looks the same twice.
She does not.
Yes, that's true.
But they're proposing now a tax on you, the unvaxxed.
I know you're saying that'll never happen in America.
Well, guess what?
In my home country of Canada, it's happening in the province of Quebec, and it's happening in other countries.
Keep in mind, the only failsafe that you have here in the United States is that there is still some semblance of a conservative wing.
One side wants you to be forced into lockdown.
One side wants the kind of concentration camps they have in Australia.
One side wants you to have to pay an additional tax for not taking an experimental mRNA injection.
One side wants all of these things.
Doesn't mean that you have to have an R next to your name, but you are precluded from, put it this way,
voting for anybody who could be seen at a cocktail party with Joy Reid.
Now, and let me ask you this, what do you think?
Who do you think is most responsible for the inflation?
I want you to comment below.
That's the best thing, like we've said, for the algorithm for YouTube.
Elizabeth Warren blames Kroger.
Ah, yeah, Big Kroger, Big Kroger, Big Piggly Wiggly.
Yeah, big deal.
I think it has a little more to do with printing money, which I've never understood.
If you can just print money, why tax at all?
And of course, BlackRock is this huge firm that you know, they're buying up all the houses and, you know, just nothing's working.
But the good thing is, there's no good thing.
So before we continue, oh, I forgot, there's still the promo code.
Oh yeah, yeah.
$20 off if you join Mug Club.
No advertising revenue here on the YouTube.
That's for sure.
None.
That stings.
My fault.
So $20 off, you enter in LWC returns.
But before we get to anything else... My totes forgot to put my club, my plugs.
I thought they were just sold out.
And ahoy.
Well, you haven't introduced us yet.
Gerald A., how are you?
You know what?
I want a genuine how are you, Steven.
Gerald A., how are you now that you've had your third glass of wine by 10 a.m.
Eastern?
I'm fantastic.
Good.
He had a box of Franzia just waiting for the show to start.
Oh, good lord.
I may be an alcoholic, but I have standards.
Chased it down with a nice yellowtail.
It was.
Damn you both.
Some cold duck.
Well, barefoot doesn't count.
That's Brodigan's favorite.
Then we have the, of course, you know him, you love him, he has dates coming up.
You can follow him on the Twitter at LandauDave to see more about these dates.
Reading, California, where they're trying to make it so that you can't go see him.
Oops.
And then Sacramento, I believe.
Dave Landau, how are you?
Ahoy!
I'm good.
I've never been better ever in life.
Wow, that's fantastic!
Yeah!
I don't believe you, but... I'm not... I'm completely lying.
Yeah.
Well, it's okay.
Every day's a gift.
You know what?
You were here for run-through.
Joy Reid's rubbing off on you.
Oh, she's a doll.
She is a gem.
Ooh!
Big Kroger taking all our money.
I knew it was the Rothschilds and Vons.
Before any of this though, I'm sorry to do this, but this is going around.
Lizzo just celebrated her recent weight gain.
Really cool.
Because that's a thing now.
with this brave and beautiful video.
["Hogtide by Kanye West plays"]
["Hogtide by Kanye West plays"]
I actually appreciate that she was forthcoming about being hogtied.
By the way, there's no horse.
Did you hear that?
She's like, hogtied?
Calf rope me?
She's like, I'm gonna ride like a roadie.
I'm like, there's not a horse on the planet, lady.
Someone from Yellowstone's gonna be wrapping a lasso around her horns.
That is the saddest toilet on earth in that bathroom.
It's the only toilet that's hoping to be picked last for gym class.
Yes, please don't use me.
It's a Pee Wee Herman toilet.
She bought me in an auction.
I'm always choking.
Yeah.
When the toilet is yearning for the days of King Kong Bundy, maybe you shouldn't be doing a celebratory video.
We have a problem with baby gender reveal parties, but we're doing weight gain celebrations?
She does it every day, because her weight just continues to tick up.
That's just not an accomplishment in my book.
Well, for her it is.
She's pretty high.
It's hard once you get the weight up there.
It's kind of like when you lose weight, then the last couple pounds are hardest to shave off.
Once you effectively have to go to a weighing station to be weighed, it's tough to get that extra eight ounces once you're past the 405 mark.
Yeah, like if a couple boxes fall off a truck, nobody's going to notice we make a profit.
Right, exactly.
I get what you're saying.
Someone give her a TLC show.
And here's something else that's happening, unfortunately.
This is what the state of our country is.
We were talking about the Ronald McDonald House the other day.
Oh, by the way, we have Judge Fauci on the show today.
Do we really?
As he's commonly referred to, the science.
The science.
I'm glad the science will be here.
Yeah, the science will be here.
A four-year-old boy with leukemia has now been evicted from the Ronald McDonald House.
And this is in Canada, so in British Columbia, because I know some Americans are like, Britain?
No.
It's a silly place.
They still have the Queen on their money.
It's the only country that gained its right to be a country by just saying uncle to the royalty.
Everybody else threw off the shackles except... Oh my gosh, I cannot stand Canada.
And I am it!
British Columbia.
This kid's kicked out of a Ronald McDonald house.
Because he isn't vaccinated. So we have a video here of the pissed off dad. It is
Heartbreaking, but this is just remember this when the left tries to say that they're the party of compassion
Remember this This is an eviction notice I believe to
Anybody older than five is not vaccinated is getting evicted from Ronald McDonald house
So, I'm just going to go talk to people at the counter and see if it's legit or not.
You have an eviction manager here?
Somebody?
Well, you have to get vaccinated or you have to leave.
It's 4.
It's just pretty disturbing.
I'm just wondering if it's legit.
Is this saying that everybody who's not vaccinated is getting evicted?
No, we have a grace period to which you can get your first dose, but essentially as of January 17th.
There's a board mandate from our... So I just want to get this straight.
So by the end of the month, my four-year-old boy with leukemia is getting evicted because
we don't have a vaccine.
Hi parents.
This is, if he was six months older, he would be getting evicted.
That looks like spina bifida.
It's the gollum-itis.
I'm so mad, right now I don't even know where to go.
Yeah, first off, the most important thing is that lady has disproportionately short legs.
She looks like when I do the bit of, like I'm a midget but I put my knees in slippers.
Yeah.
We have a Grace period.
No, Grace is the other girl you evicted and died four weeks ago.
Dwarf on science.
Hold on a second.
Isn't the Ronald McDonald House for kids who are sick?
Yeah.
Isn't the whole point to help people who are sick?
And the McDonald's is for people who want to get sick.
Yes, absolutely.
Well, they're not loving it after they go through.
You're leaving without care.
Your killer T cell count doesn't exist.
You're hurting families.
This is just absolutely heartbreaking.
And the way they justify it is, well, look, look, this is the Ronald McDonald house.
We have kids here with cancer.
We have kids here with spinal meningitis.
We have kids here with sickle cell.
And if you're not vaccinated, they could get the sniffles.
And by the way, if you are vaccinated, they can still get the sniffles, apparently.
Right.
Yeah.
We just want to give them a completely non-experimental, totally effective vaccine.
Right.
Yeah.
Well, it becomes a happy meal now.
It's just a hamburger.
Yeah, it's true.
And it just sticks you in the neck.
It's just a syringe that's filled with it, one of the Fry Kids give it to you.
Yeah, and ground up beanie babies.
Yeah, while Grimace gets a, whatever, transgender surgery.
What is Grimace?
Boy or girl?
What do you think?
We should not say.
Yeah, we shouldn't say.
We shouldn't gender Grimace.
That's true, Grimace is the first genitalia- I'm not entirely convinced that if Lizzo unzips her fat suit she isn't Grimace.
She might be.
The cookie monster.
Surprise, bitches!
So let me just tell you something about Canada, okay?
And specifically my home province of Quebec.
They are, to give you a list and all references available at ladoscreditor.com, imposing a health contribution tax on the unvaccinated.
Okay.
They've banned dog walking during curfew, 10 p.m.
to 5 a.m.
They're mandating vaccines for liquor and cannabis stores because, by God, if people aren't vaccinated, something could go wrong at the local liquor store.
I love the cannabis store part.
If you want to get high, you've got to have a vaccine.
You're good at sticking your arm, right?
Come on.
Vaccine after next.
Yeah, really, the only thing that you can rely on is being blind drunk.
That's the healthiest thing for a society.
Absolutely, yeah.
I was getting it vaccinated, but I was blind, stinking drunk!
Name that movie line.
And they're soon going to be mandating a booster shot, which just seems like, why do any of this at this point?
And also, the...
You know, some of you know him as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
And a lot of you say, well, he's the guy who does a blackface like every other Tuesday.
I know him as the biggest piece of shit who's ever lived.
Ah, yes.
So depending on I just want to make sure that you're all familiar.
He was asked on a French Canadian show.
And I speak French, so I might have to translate if you're listening on audio here, uh, you know, there are subtitles.
What bothers me is he's actually speaking the right wrong French.
He's speaking in French Canadian accent.
Yeah.
He corrects himself.
In other words, it would be like me showing it's just like when Biden would say, I want to put y'all back in chains.
Well, like when Hillary Clinton's... Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
He's doing that with the French.
And you know the left is the party, they're the compassionate party we just saw.
They want to make sure that we get rid of kids from Ronald McDonald houses.
Now, this is not some kind of extremist view.
This is the mainstream view of the left platform.
This is the mainstream view of the country that exists that is most similar to America.
They're supposed to be compassionate, tolerant, and here he is actually using those words.
Prime Minister Blackface himself saying, we shouldn't tolerate these people.
And by the way, these people, these are, you know, the enemies of the state, as Joe Biden, former Vice President Biden would put it, but really just the un-vaxxed.
Listen to this man speak.
Yes, we will get out of this pandemic with vaccination.
And we all know people who are hesitating a little bit.
We will continue to try to convince them.
But there are also people who are fiercely opposed to vaccination.
They are extremists.
Who don't believe in science, who are often misogynistic, racists... Oh, so if they don't get vaccinated, they're misogynist and racist.
And extremist.
A small group that takes up space.
And now, we have to make a choice.
Yeah, that four-year-old with leukemia is a real Klansman.
Do we tolerate these people, or do we say, well, let's see.
Most people, almost 80% of Quebeckers, did what had to be done.
They got vaccinated.
We want to go back to the things we like to do.
It's not these people who are going to block us.
So a couple of things there.
First off, are you seeing the pattern here?
When he says 80%, he's saying 80% of Quebecers are vaccinated, so we won't tolerate these people.
Do you see why democracy doesn't work?
Do you see why mob rule is a lie?
Do you understand why it's important that we're a constitutional republic?
It doesn't matter if 80% of Quebecers are vaccinated.
70% of them marry their cousins!
So the rule that they always used to justify is, well, most Australians are okay with it, so you should go to your self-quarantine camp.
Well, most Quebecers are okay with it, therefore we shouldn't tolerate these people who are unvaccinated.
And he throws in there, he says, these people who are, and I'm sorry, my brain, I keep going back from French to English, saying there are these extremist groups who are opposed to the vaccination.
They're usually racist, they're usually misogynist.
Hold on a second, what are the most vaccine-hesitant groups?
Can I just?
Minorities and pregnant women?
Yes.
But they're racist and misogynist against themselves.
They can't help but fit it in.
They can't help but just say, hey, look, we're totalitarian, okay?
I believe in mob rule.
80% of people are vaccinated, even though right now, basically, your outcome is the same with Omicron, vaccinated or unvaccinated.
That's a fact at this point.
Look, what happens if you're vaccinated?
You don't end up in the hospital, ER, you probably have mild symptoms.
What happens if you're unvaccinated?
You don't end up in the ER, possible mild symptoms.
At this point, there is What's the argument that we're having?
And by the way, when these people blame the unvaccinated, they're still locking down in countries where they are almost entirely vaccinated.
Why do you need any rules in Quebec if it's 80% vaccinated?
You're well past any threshold that was supposed to be met for herd immunity.
Are you starting to understand this has nothing To do with science, and everything to do with control.
Does it have to get to 90%?
Does it have to get to 99% before you start rounding up the unvaxxed and blaming them for the biggest spike in the history of this pandemic?
At what point do you say, huh, maybe it's not the unvaccinated.
Maybe we have the biggest spike ever, if you were just playing a percentages game, because of the 80% who are vaccinated.
And it still doesn't give you the right to strip people of their rights.
It still doesn't give you the right to kick some poor kid with leukemia out of the Ronald McDonald house.
This is where we are in Canada.
And that's what they did in Australia, too.
They closed down the entire country for four days.
If you were unvaccinated, you couldn't leave the house to go to work.
Right.
Right?
And so a lot of people, you're like, oh, well, you get a four-day weekend.
No, no, no.
A lot of people are hourly.
A lot of people can't afford to miss that four days, right?
Where's your compassion for people who are making minimum wage in most countries?
But leaders around the world have doubled down and said, this is the unvaccinated.
There's a Danish study right now, and I think one in Ontario, that says it's about three times more transmissible among vaccinated than Delta was.
This is not an unvaccinated versus vax, no matter how many times former Vice President Joe Biden says it, and President Kamala Harris, his words, not mine, right?
It is a virus that is spreading through both communities.
Stop.
Live your lives.
There's a certain point where you have to make a decision.
It's done.
A four-day weekend when you're a grown-up is not like, hey guys, it's senior skip day, we're all gonna go to the moon tower on vax.
It ruins a lot of people's lives.
Yeah, we're gonna skip the science fair and head down to the convenience store with a fake ID.
Yeah.
It's gonna be pretty awesome.
Liquor store's still open.
Right.
Especially when you come back and don't get vaccinated, you get fired anyway.
This is Canada where he says, should we tolerate these people?
Oh, should we tolerate people who are not getting an experimental injection?
No, no.
Just tolerate the kind of behavior that leads to AIDS, HIV across your country or in your state of California and tolerate non-disclosure laws.
That's absolutely true.
You can have HIV-AIDS in California, and it's illegal for, as someone is bending over, before you plow him for him to go, wait a second!
You don't have HIV, do you?
Do you have a warrant?
I don't have to answer that question.
How dare you?
This is what they're tolerant of, but not the kid in the Ronald McDonald house who doesn't want to get vaccinated because he's immune-compromised and we don't know the reaction.
I'm not gonna let you in my ass without a warrant.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a no-knock.
Well, okay.
I'm good with that.
I'm a fan of stop and frisk, if you know what I mean.
Stop and frisk.
It's a no-plow warrant.
Yeah, at this point I would say we screwed it up.
Yeah, this is our fault.
The internet's ruined everything and now there's... How many people have to be vaccinated for a vaccine to work?
I imagine it's quite under 80%.
Yeah.
And I'm completely pro-vax everybody.
I just don't think...
In my opinion, this one works.
And I'm just going off, you know, the numbers, the boosters, the fact that I'm now finally seeing people on the left saying they don't want the boosters.
People are starting to realize, I don't know, what's the word?
Oh, it's bullshit.
You mean when the Pfizer CEO himself comes out and says that it provided very little protection unless you get like, what, first booster, maybe second booster, and then they copyright struck their own video to pull him down?
Before he clutched his heart and descended into his pine overcoat?
Yeah.
Now, moving on from failed experiment of the human condition, Joy Reid.
And I always have to verify that it's Joy Reid when I see the clip because I'm like, is that Joy Reid?
Joy Reid.
Or is that someone doing a Joy Reid impression?
Is that Lizzo?
Grimace?
No, all the clips I'm about to show you are Joy Reid.
And I know, you'll see why it's so confusing.
She's also in favor of not only medical discrimination, but this is the irony here.
There's no consistency, right?
This is the theme today.
Compassion and tolerance.
That's what the left has said.
That's why I don't use the term compassionate conservative, because I think allowing people to make their own decisions and be free is compassionate enough.
I don't think there's anything compassionate about spending somebody else's money, which the pharmaceutical companies have done.
But where are the people who used to bitch about big pharma?
They're gone.
I digress.
So, Joy Reid.
Compassionate, right?
She was compassionate about Obamacare, about the Affordable Care Act, about the public option, about not denying people for pre-existing conditions, about making sure that everybody gets health care and that people don't have to pay for it because it comes from a magical land of chocolate rivers and sunshine farts or Nancy Pelosi spins recycled trash into golden yarn and insulin shots or EpiPens.
So she was all about the socialized health care then.
Cost was not an issue.
But now, Joy Reid, We just went from Canada.
Joy Reid thinks that the unvaxxed, because they're the reason for the surge there, need to pay more.
Here you go.
Let's talk about what other countries are doing.
Because at some point, I feel like people who are willfully unvaccinated don't get vaccinated.
But they need to start to pay a little bit more of the cost of what this is doing to our system.
There are fines that are levied in places like Germany.
Germany has stopped paying for the tests, the virus tests, for people who choose to be unvaccinated.
They've ended quarantine pay for those without vaccinations.
IKEA, the company, is slashing sick pay for unvaccinated UK workers.
If you are a smoker, Insurance companies can charge you more.
They can charge you a premium, up to 50%, and you have to put that on the form when you apply for insurance.
At some point, don't we have to make people who are just saying, I'm willing to take the risk to be unvaccinated, take the risk for me, and take the risk for everyone I come in contact with.
Shouldn't they have to pay more into the system, because they are collapsing our health system.
They're the ones in the ERs.
Now, a couple of things.
Everything she just said is incorrect, but I guess I don't need to say much more than that, but here's something that's pretty interesting.
This actually comes from Kaiser Permanente.
Of the 52,000 infected with Omicron, not one person needed a ventilator.
People with Omicron are 91% less likely to die.
They're 74% less likely to be admitted to intensive care.
And by the way, this is across vaxxed and unvaxxed.
That would be one thing if she was saying, you know, if you're going for insurance, you have to check the box that you're a smoker.
It's like, oh, okay, so you agree with that.
No, no, I think that's an invasion of privacy.
So you also think it's an invasion of... No, no, you should have to check a box if you're vaxxed or unvaxxed.
How about a little bit of consistency?
I think that if you're a smoker, you probably have to pay more for insurance.
I understand that.
I think if you're a black tar heroin addict, you probably should sign that on the form.
I also think that, fine, if insurance companies want you to list that you're vaxxed or unvaxxed, well, look, then they need to prove that there's a discernible health outcome difference.
They can't do that right now.
We know that if you smoke, you're more likely to get lung cancer.
Well, if you have a breakthrough case, that means you have super COVID and it's actually your fault for the spike, so you should pay the tax.
You should pay for everyone else's COVID.
That's what I think.
If there's one more mutation because of a leaky vaccine, I think that the makers of the vaccine should have to pay all of the costs for the new mutated virus.
That seems like a good idea.
Yeah, it's going to be adamantium COVID.
Well, Joy Reid never misses an opportunity to peddle the lie that if you're vaccinated you can't spread this virus because she said if you're unvaccinated you're willing to take that chance for everybody else.
I'm sorry, what?
what I'm talking about. She really lives up to her name.
Not Joy at all. But she can't read.
She never misses an opportunity to peddle the lie that if you're vaccinated you can't spread
this virus because she said if you're unvaccinated you're willing to take that chance for everybody
else. I'm sorry what? Yeah. Because you can still spread it if you're vaccinated. Now let's contrast
that and then former Vice President Biden is speaking right now.
Oh, he hasn't updated his hair plugs, but we'll go to him after this because it works.
It's good.
He always looks like he's looking into the sun in a dark room.
Well, that's he's trying to.
He's looking for the sun.
I hear it's good to look at it.
Where is it?
Can someone point me my eyes in the direction of the sun?
Guys, he's trying not to die on camera.
Yeah.
It's a challenge.
He just had his third booster, shit his pants.
Joe, don't look into the light!
You said that's the light!
He just took the kid's bed at the Ronald McDonald house.
He digs.
Every time he sees the sun, he thinks he's going home to the Lord.
Today's the day.
Just starts walking into the horizon and doesn't realize that the water's getting deeper.
He's like, I have trouble breathing.
He'll know when he dies because demon hands will grab him and pull him to hell.
It'll look like the cover of Strangers with nothing ringing the doorbell.
Or Frighteners, whatever it is, I don't care.
Contrast this with Joy Reid, an absolute joy who can't read, her support of universal health care, the Affordable Care Act, and of course her screeching about the idea that health insurance companies might be able to decline you for pre-existing conditions, which is almost the entire idea of insurance to begin with.
But here's Joy Reid then.
Aside from the sort of pragmatic issues, you know, Alabama County, you've got 5,000 blotted masks from the national stockpiles.
We've got a lot of issues at the federal level.
But I think the biggest has to be the fact that we don't have a universal health care system to make sure that if you go in and you're treated for COVID-19, you know, who pays for that?
Who pays for the test that you're getting?
Why is Ray Romano there?
Absolutely.
who contracted the coronavirus, even if they survive it, then have a pre-existing condition.
It looks to me like Republicans are trying to indemnify insurance companies from having to cover those people.
That would be the outcome if the ACA went away, right?
Absolutely.
So he can say, yeah, you got to cover pre-existing conditions.
But what he doesn't say is that you cannot charge people more
if they have a pre-existing condition.
Donald Trump does not understand that.
Yeah, that's what's in the law.
So she actually really was championing the idea that insurance companies shouldn't be able to charge you any more even if you don't have insurance and say, I have COVID and I would like insurance now.
However, now she draws the line at being unvaxxed.
Well, actually the headline, Steven, is that Joy Reid wants to tax minorities.
Yeah.
Because minorities tend to make up a large proportion of the unvaxxed.
Also, she wants to tax women.
Yes.
That's the headline.
I'm sorry, that's what it is.
If you guys are going to play this game, so can we.
You want to tax minorities, Joy Reid.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Also, she wants to subsidize wig manufacturers.
It's true.
Well, she is subsidizing.
Look, either you came back from a cruise with those crappy little beads in your hair, I don't know if that's a tattoo that's going to wash off in a week.
She had a man bun in one of those clips.
Yeah, she had a man bun.
She was trying out for the European soccer team.
She made it, by the way.
Stop it.
I'm somebody who, I wish there was a universal health care because I do believe that if somebody's extraordinarily sick they should get help.
Jesus never asked for a co-pay.
He did.
But, no he didn't.
He did.
No he didn't.
You missed it in the second Thessalonians chapter 17.
You're wrong.
He also put tax collectors in the same plane as prostitutes.
Yeah, I agree.
But that's how you get socialized healthcare.
Hence the same thing.
I know it's how you get socialized healthcare.
I'm not saying socialized healthcare or universal healthcare putting a political label on it.
I mean somebody who's sick should be able to get help.
That's my point.
Yes.
I just hate everything.
No, no, no, finish your point.
I understand exactly what you're saying, but this is again the compassionate version of that as a conservative looking at the free market.
Well, there should be a compassionate version of it and there's not.
Everything's politicized.
It's the same thing that she just went out there and said.
It's the same thing where when it was Donald Trump, you want to sit there and go against him when he's trying to do the right thing.
Now all of a sudden you have this dipshit in office and she's going against her own words.
And going against her own people, going against pregnant women, 80% of the population is vexed.
What else do you want to prove that this thing doesn't seem to work?
Uh, 82.
In Canada.
Ah, gotcha.
Now I'm just getting, like, it's been three years of utter nonsense.
And the only thing they're doing is screwing the American public more by trying to put a tax on people who are like, hey, I don't think that thing's going to work.
Why would you pump something that you're not even sure would work into a 4-year-old kid who's dying?
That's also something to say.
There's no reason to not get vaccinated.
Well, we'll get to that in a second.
A lot of reasons.
Those are good reasons.
Right now, let's look at a bad reason to currently cross the border in a caravan.
The former vice president at the helm... But my point, though, is being unvaxxed is not a condition.
No.
Right.
It's not.
No.
Bottom line.
Cancer is a pre-existing condition, sure.
There are certain things you may have had that are a condition.
Not taking certain medicine is not a condition.
Right.
Bottom line.
Yeah.
Being Joy Reid is a pre-existing condition.
Yeah, there should be a pre-existing C in there.
I mean, I wouldn't admit her to St.
Jude's.
No!
He loves a Ronald McDonald's house.
Let's see what former Vice President Joe Biden is saying.
He looks very confused.
You can get reimbursed for eight tests a month.
Why is your right eye big?
For those without insurance, we have over 20,000 free testing sites all around the country.
He's just having endless strokes.
You can find the nearest testing sites for you by googling COVID test near me.
Google COVID How stupid do the Democrats think you are?
I know a lot of you don't know, you don't know where to find a test.
You don't know what a test is.
Some of you, you can't even finish the word test.
You just, you go tuh.
It's est!
That's how you finish the word.
So, if you go to this multi-hundred-million-dollar government bureaucratic website, we have something that you could actually do yourself within 40 seconds on Google Maps.
We have COVID tests near me.
It was going to be COVID test but some kid bought it and he wouldn't sell it to me.
Over 100 military and other federal emergency personnel have been deployed to 24 states,
tribes and territories, including over 350 military doctors, nurses and medics,
helping staff the hospitals who are in short supply.
I only had the home test but I wanted the PCR.
Hi, hi, we call it a little bit Warren. It's a If you feel sick, it's important to go to COVID test near me.
Then stand in a cold line for an hour and a half while feeling ill.
Lowering your body temperature by an average of 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
I was trying to find my local testing center, but my phone is only the 4G.
It's not the LTE.
You need to pay for that too.
Think about this for a second.
The emergency broadcast right now from this president used to be like, emergency broadcast, hey, everyone get under your desk, kiss your ass goodbye because the Russians have nukes.
The emergency broadcast right now is, hey, look, there's a virus out there right now that leads to no requiring of a ventilator, according to Cesar Permanente, incredibly low death rates.
Incredibly low, serious infection rates right now.
We have a high surge of cases, but the death, the mortality rate has not proportionally increased.
And by the way, we have this epidemic where so many of you out there, as I understand it, don't know where to go to get a test.
So please, let me interrupt The Price is Right for this shit.
Right, and we're gonna buy 500 million more tests.
We, the government.
No, no, no, no, no.
We, the people, are buying 500 million more tests to sit down.
That's our tax dollars at work.
And by the way, you know what happens if you test positive for COVID right now?
They send you home?
No!
They do!
They send you home and they say, hey, a doctor... But unlike the prices, right?
You have no prizes?
Well, that's true.
You get zero prizes.
And the doctor is going to call you and give you instructions.
You know what that call was that I didn't receive, by the way?
Sorry, an hour later, no call.
Five days later, no call.
Ten days later, no call.
Nothing!
Yeah.
You get nothing.
Okay, so here's that idea.
If you're sick right now, Just quarantine yourself until you're not sick.
I know that that's crazy.
Stay away from people if you're sick.
I think we've heard this before our entire lives.
If you're sick, don't come into work.
Don't worry about going and getting a test.
Also, if you're sick, don't come into the Ronald McDonald House.
Well, then where should I go?
The streets.
Let's see what else he's saying.
Well, say massive corporations like Pfizer, who would, you know, screw you over if you didn't come into work, are the ones that are now enforcing all of this.
Yeah, by the way, do we get any money?
I'm going to be giving you some numbers on what we've funded as far as these vaccines.
Hey, any of you seen your check in the mail for the profits?
That's another issue, right?
When we're talking about the little guy, we're talking about socialism, we're talking about the Bernie Sanders and the Elizabeth Warrens.
Hey, hold on a second.
We all, right?
We socialize the funding of it.
We socialize the losses for these companies.
What about the profits?
Any of you received your check in the mail?
Let's see what else he's saying.
Look, he's smiling like he's smelling his own farts.
You've just been listening to President Biden lay out the measures that the administration is taking to combat the Omicron surge.
Now, okay, they're not combating the surge.
If they give you tests, they're tracking the surge.
I tell you what, this is... It really is just enough already.
Just shut up and do something.
I'm not entirely convinced that we're not being manipulated by Big Surge.
That energy drink is making a comeback.
That's true.
Everybody's going to be drinking Surge.
You're looking where to find a test, and then it's just Channing Tatum going with a dune buggy.
Surge!
Like, oh, skunked again!
They were the same commercials, except they'd be in, like, a jeep riding a wave instead of a surfboard like Mountain Dew.
And then they would scream surge.
Hey, speaking of which, Bilt Bar.
I have lost about 35 pounds.
You have, yeah.
And a big part of it was I just use these Bilt Bars, these protein bars, because they taste like candy bars.
This double chocolate right here tastes like a Three Musketeers bar.
But they don't have those annoying Franz Drescher commercials.
No.
Even if it's been up a soldier's ass.
Yeah.
Built.com.
Built.com.
Use the promo code Crowder15 to get 15% off.
They really are good.
They really are delicious.
There's real chocolate in there, too.
Real dark chocolate.
I love them.
They have the balls to sponsor this show.
And it did help me lose weight.
Really did.
I like it.
It satisfies that craving at night.
You know, speaking of night, The next person we're about to discuss is the kind of person who gives children nightmares.
No, come on.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you guys know who I'm about to talk about before we get to Pfizer?
Well, does his first name begin with the?
I sense a rain dance.
Yes.
No, no, no.
It's not Phillips, Nathan Phillips.
Oh.
Or as he's known among his tribesmen, Nate.
No.
Meth-head Nate.
Meth-head Nate.
Yeah, Meth-head Nate.
Is it the let's have a beer every woman?
Yes, exactly.
It is Elizabeth Warren who just tweeted this video blaming record high inflation right now on, wait we need someone, who is it?
It's Big Kroger at work.
Big Kroger.
Think of the example right now, for example, with grocery stores.
Remember how many grocery stores there used to be?
And now what you've got is a handful of giant chains.
And then what happens?
Kroger, their profits just in the third quarter of 2021 were almost $900 million.
That was more than three times what their profits were in some time period in 2019.
Now if they are able to expand profits, not expand prices, expand profits, that's because
they have a lot of market dominance here.
If we move in on antitrust law, break up these giant corporations, then we get real competition, and then we get markets that are truly competitive.
That's good for small businesses.
It's good for consumers and it actually, in many cases, reduces the need for regulatory oversight.
You can count on the markets doing what they need to do.
Anytime Elizabeth Warren implies that she wants to reduce the need for regulatory oversight, you know she's lying.
Am I going out on a limb saying that?
I think you all believe me, right?
You can comment below.
Does anyone actually think Elizabeth Warren wakes... Do you think any day in her life her head is popped off the pillow and she's going, I've been wrong about government bureaucracy.
Well, how about the fact that she has no opinion and just goes out and panders at every opportunity possible?
And fails at it every time.
Yeah, and this is the problem.
Look, I'm not the party of big business or small business.
I'm the party of good business.
Let's get to the pharmaceutical companies in a little bit, who Elizabeth Warren has supported through your tax dollars.
But she's vilifying Kroger.
This is just another attack.
They're trying to throw you off the scent.
Remember when Biden blamed the meat industry for the rising meat prices?
It's just, well, it's the meat industry.
OK.
I'm sure they just woke up one day and decided, yeah, we're just going to double the price of everything.
We could double price hot dogs, yes!
Yes, exactly.
It's 7% year-over-year inflation in December here.
The most in 40 years.
Yeah, that just came out yesterday.
The most since 1982.
By the way, do you remember what happened in 1982 when we were going from the Georgia peanut farmer to Ronald Reagan?
Yeah.
The price for money was like 18% for a home loan.
So you guys that are crapping on a 3%, think about 18%.
I thought you were going to say they were wearing fewer sweaters in the White House.
Well, they probably were.
Now, grocery store food prices, they went up by 6.5% over the last 12 months.
Now, here's the thing.
She's vilifying grocery stores.
Maybe.
They may or may not be making decent money.
I'll get to the numbers.
They're not.
But it doesn't matter if we're not subsidizing them.
Again, it's none of my business if a company is not raping you of your tax dollars.
So let's get to some of the operating costs and the profit margins.
I know exactly why she set out to vilify Kroger, because they need a scapegoat Because it's horrible.
The inflation is horrible.
The economy is horrible.
And here's a surefire way that Democrats lose, right?
Is you go to the grocery store and you just look at the things and you go, wow, this is bad.
And so they need to say, no, no, the reason that you're looking at those things is not because of anything that we've done, even though you had three years, four years of those things being far less expensive, relatively speaking.
The reason you're looking at those things is because of Big Piggly Wiggly.
So, grocery stores, their operating margins nationally, retail food and grocery stores, is about 2.5%.
Oh, wow.
Last quarter, Kroger had an operating margin of 1.95%.
of 1.95%.
You fat cat!
They're vilifying these people while saying, hey, you need to be vaccinated so you can go to your liquor stores and support your local cannabis stores.
Well, think about it in the alcohol industry.
Their operating margins?
21%.
Pharmaceutical drugs?
24%.
Metal and mining?
drugs 24% metal and mining 25% it is one of the worst operating margins in the entire economy.
25%.
Grocery stores.
When you start a business as an entrepreneur, I've had these conversations.
It is a joke that you say, we don't want to be a grocery store because you don't want to operate on razor-thin profit margins.
5% is considered low nationally across all industries.
5% is low.
5% for them and their poppin' champagne.
10% is average.
So, I don't know, what do you want?
They're 80% below the average.
What else do you want?
I'm sorry that they made $900 million.
82%.
82%.
I want them 82% below.
It's always more, Stephen!
I want to reach herd poverty.
Well, once we're at 80%, I think we'll be a better country.
Yes, I think we'll be a better off country.
I think the only worse company business going is being a florist.
No, come on, really?
I knew someone who ran it.
Someone in chat let me know if you're a florist.
I knew someone who ran a flower shop, and she said, like, you have free days.
Roses are so expensive.
I know it's perishable, but, you know.
Well, there's a lot of money that goes into it.
Do you know what is required to make a good rose?
Do you have any idea?
No.
Love.
Water.
Now, Big Flora has been bending us over a sofa for the last 20 years.
Big Botany.
That's why they invented Valentine's Day.
Those jerks.
And sweet as day for your northern folks.
Big Flora.
Those too-big-to-fail horticulturalists.
Now, um... Lots of guns.
Keep in mind, while we're talking about a 1.95% operating margin, now you may not like it because you hear 300 million and you go, that sounds like a lot of millions, and you only have so many of those, however many it is.
My point is, I know that you don't have that many and I don't have that many, so it's easy to be jealous.
Again, the Democrats aren't compassionate, they just want to capitalize on your greed.
Guess what?
I'm a conservative.
I'm not capitalizing on your greed by saying, yeah, keep what you earn.
And I'll keep what I earned.
I'm capitalizing on your greed if I say, hey, you see what Dave has?
You should take what Dave has.
And you know what?
We'll help you by sending in guys with guns.
Also, we're going to take away Dave's guns.
This is what they want to do.
Now, let me give you an example of profit margins, a place where you get a crazy return on investment, is if you go into public office.
Just watch Nancy Pelosi as her face gets stretched over like a used condom, her forehead increasingly.
And she ardently, she passionately defends not incorporating any sort of anti-insider trading laws for your representatives.
And secondly, just members of Congress... Tales from the Crypt!
No, to the second one, we have a responsibility to report on the stock, but I'm not familiar with that five-month review, but if people aren't reporting, they should be.
Because this is a free market and people, we have a free market economy,
they should be able to participate in that.
Okay, now look, let me just explain something really quickly to you guys.
I'm drunk.
People who don't understand, and this is something important because you hear people a lot,
a lot of the time they throw an oh insider trading and should apply to people in Congress.
And to a lot of folks who don't necessarily pay attention to the news every day, let me at least illuminate a little bit here why it's a problem compared to someone who's not in public office.
So for example, Martha Stewart got in trouble because of insider trading.
If you work for a company and you let someone else know, I don't know, hey, this company right now is going to be coming out with a new product tomorrow.
You should invest in it immediately, and we're going to see a tripling of our profits.
And someone actually takes that tip and invests.
This is insider trading.
It's illegal, right?
It's illegal for you, the citizen.
Here's what's not illegal and why it's a problem.
Let me make it really simple for you, and everyone here can let me know if I've been reductive enough.
I want to be reductive.
Nancy Pelosi.
OK?
Nancy Pelosi, a representative, or let's say AOC in New York.
AOC is a representative in New York.
Any senator.
Take your pick.
They can say, oh, wait a second.
You know what?
I'm actually going to put a moratorium on that drilling until you jump through these hoops.
And then if you do, you know what?
We'll lift it next Thursday.
And they invest a bunch of money in the stock of that company Wednesday.
That's not illegal for them to do.
Because it's not insider trading.
They're the ones who are simply manipulating the laws that determine the market.
That's the kind of laws that we want applied to our representatives.
Does everyone understand?
Does that make it simple for you to understand?
It does.
Fair playing field.
Whatever I have to live by, they should have to live by.
And right now they're not.
There's a story of... I won't tell it.
There's a story of the UFC, I don't know if this is true or not, there was a story of the UFC before it was bought by some current, some owners, not the current owners, but what happened was the UFC was in the Dark Ages, okay?
They were in the Dark Ages, John McCain was referring to it as human cockfighting, and they had to host them on Indian grounds, First Nations grounds.
First Nations.
Basically it was Nathan Phillips with a shark hunting light going, alright, let's get it on!
So, they had to host them on Indian gaming casinos, and it wasn't legal, it wasn't sanctioned by any commission.
A company bought the UFC for pennies on the dollar, and they had somebody, I don't know if this is true or not, but this is just an example I'm using, so this is allegedly, they had someone on the Nevada State Athletic Commission who was holding out on sanctioning mixed martial arts until the company was sold, it was sold, and then it became a mainstream sport.
This is the kind of thing that can happen if legislators can hold up laws and determine how markets work.
Of course their portfolio is going to grow.
Why do you think their net worth grows at a rate that is exponentially higher than yours when their salary is somewhere around $170,000?
Just do the math!
Now, here's something else.
When we're talking about Elizabeth Warren bitching about Big Kroger, this is the same woman who determined that BlackRock, the company, by the way, who manage... they manage trillions of dollars in assets, and they're the ones who've been buying up all of these houses so that, of course, you'll have a permanent class of renters.
We've talked about BlackRock.
References available at lateralcreditor.com.
This is the same Elizabeth Warren who said that that company should be too big to fail and get a never-ending supply of your taxpayer dollar bailout.
Secretary Yellen, just hypothetically, if a $9 trillion investment company failed, would that likely have a significant impact on our economy?
Well, Senator Warren, I believe it's important to look very carefully at the risk posed by asset management in this country, including BlackRock and other firms.
It's not obvious to me that designation is the correct tool to address... Wait just a minute!
Designation is what gives the Fed its increased oversight power, is that correct?
Is that correct?
Yes.
And is BlackRock currently designated so that it receives that increased oversight?
It isn't designated, but I think it's important to understand.
So that means it is not receiving the increased oversight from the Fed.
When the party is going strong, it's the job of the regulators to take away the punch bowl.
By the way, we have confirmed, in fact, that Janet Yellen is a poddling, just for people who are wondering.
Now, notice she just said, hey, oversight.
Wasn't she just saying, hey, it can reduce the need for oversight when she was talking about Kroger, as though that was a good thing?
So here's the argument they make when they say too big to fail.
Keep in mind, companies that are too big to fail, in case you're wondering, companies that you love, like banks, airlines, American auto manufacturers, you know, stuff you like.
So these are the companies that are all too big to fail.
What she's saying, though, is if we make this black rock too big to fail, which means they will be bailed out by you in perpetuity no matter how badly they screw up, but we get more oversight.
Ooh, that's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
See how it's inconsistent?
No company should be too big to fail.
None.
It's ridiculous.
Never.
And by the way, I just want to point out that Janet Yellen is leading an organization whose goal is to have 2% inflation.
They have every monetary tool available and we just saw seven.
These are the smartest people in the room, guys.
Okay?
We're so screwed right now.
She's aiming for 2% inflation?
Always.
That is the Fed's goal forever.
I know, but I thought she would have, you know, just lifted it a little bit because there was no chance that we were going to get it.
I mean, it's three and a half times.
She was like, did I say two?
I meant nine.
So we're really doing pretty well with seven.
Yeah, it's not too shabby.
Could be worse.
Could have been nine, which is what we told you it would be, but instead we came in with seven, so, you know, congratulations to me.
Yeah, I think dicking with the housing market's a great idea.
We should go back to that, yeah.
And with a name that rhymes with crack rock.
Yes.
How do you think they get their funding, Dave?
Exactly.
Who do you think they're gearing it towards in the most non-racist way, they think?
By the way, while we're talking about funding, it's time to actually, I think we have him... Oh no.
We've had him on the show before.
You know him as the science.
We know him as, of course, Judge Fauci.
We have now Judge Fauci.
Do we have him?
Do we have him on the line?
We have Judge Fauci to discuss the new Omicron variant.
Okay, so do we have... Judge Fauci, can you hear me, sir?
Hello!
David, this is the science speaking!
Okay, Dr. Fauci.
Listen, I wanted to ask you about this because it's been going viral.
How did you feel about Rand Paul really going at you pretty hard with some facts on herd immunity and the Omicron variant on Tuesday?
This is everywhere.
I am the science!
Okay, yeah, that's not an answer, though.
I don't... No, it's not.
I don't think that's the answer.
We're... I think we're finding now hard evidence that, um, that, uh, that, uh... That I am the science?
No, we're not finding hard evidence to that at all, that you're a liar.
Rand Paul threatened to kill the science, and I am the science!
No, no, no, no, no, no.
He didn't threaten to kill you at all.
He just... Rand Paul didn't threaten you at all.
He just thinks that you should be fired.
Which would kill the science!
Okay.
Oh, I don't, no.
Which I am!
No, that's, no.
Oh.
No, no, that's okay.
I am the... This guy really thinks he's the science, doesn't he?
That's his answer for everything.
Man.
I believe every word he says all the time.
No, I don't.
Oh, you don't?
No.
I wear three masks sometimes.
When I'm alone in my car.
Can we start a Fire Dave campaign?
Okay.
Really quickly, let me go through this.
You mean pay him more because he has to listen to you?
Oh!
Son of a bitch.
Let's get to Pfizer and Big Pharma money.
Yeah, sorry, they were just killing time for me because I had a mess up with the... Judge Fauci.
He doesn't have a good connection is his problem.
Yeah.
You'd think the science could invest in some headphones.
No.
So here's something else, by the way.
Have you... In those ears?
Yeah.
Have you guys been... It doesn't matter.
I don't know.
I don't care.
I was gonna ask if people were vaccinated.
I don't care anymore.
What difference does it make?
Well, you could mean you could have a job.
Yeah, well, you know what?
I don't know, you can find one stroked out on the floor and ask.
Yeah, that's true.
Just ask a soccer player having a heart attack and being perfectly healthy five weeks ago.
The director of Dallas Buyers Club getting his third booster and guess who he gets to meet?
The star of Dallas Buyers Club.
Yes, exactly.
Who it was written about.
Yeah.
If you see a four-year-old with a leather helmet riding on the floor, that's, you know, that's what I mean.
In other words, that's the difference that it makes.
But as a general rule, I don't really care if you're vaccinated or not.
I don't care if Kroger makes money or not.
Here's what I do.
They should.
It's a business.
Crazy idea.
Novel idea.
I think we should reach herd poverty.
That's what we're going for.
Look, this is why you come here for hot takes.
herd poverty. So when everybody's poor and there's just a class of rich rich government that always
ends well. Well I wasn't talking... yes but you're discussing Venezuela. I'm talking about herd
poverty. Oh right. Herd poverty exactly it's never been done correctly. True true. So um
last week India, usually a nation of which I'm not a fan.
Right.
Uh, is it Bombay?
Is it Mumbai?
Pick a lane.
No.
Bollywood?
No idea.
They, uh, flagged Merck's new COVID pill for major safety concerns.
The head of India's Council of Medical Research, Balram Balgarva, said, and you know what?
This show hasn't really been offensive enough, so I'll read the quote.
We have to remember that this drug has major safety concerns.
It can cause terror Oh, God.
Good luck going with the accent.
It can cause teratogenicity, mutagenicity, and it can also cause cartilage damage and be damaging to muscles, which I clearly do not have.
More importantly, contraception will have to be used for three months if this drug is given because the child born could be problematic with teratogenic influences.
These are medical terms for flippers.
You know, Arkansas, right?
And this is a country where we poop in the street!
Your kid will be a great swimmer.
Yes!
But we don't have water.
It's clean, not clean water, no?
So, India said, no, we're not gonna do this.
Now, keep in mind, Merck has been selling this pill at 40 times their production cost.
Oh, cool!
Yeah, while we're talking, we're bitching about Kroger.
Merck, 40 times their production cost.
They also sell Merckens at twice as much.
Yeah, now here's my problem with this, and I want to be very clear.
Let me rattle off some stats for you.
The issue here is privatizing profits and socializing losses.
You know what?
Comment below.
Oh, by the way, smash that like button if you're watching right now.
Smash the like button if you have no intention of being vaccinated.
Let's consider this a poll.
If you have no intention of being vaccinated, Just smash it so we know.
It's like a poll.
I'm not telling you not to get vaccinated, but smash it if you don't plan on it.
That's all.
Is that okay?
That's okay.
Yeah.
That's your choice.
Okay, look, the pill from Merck.
$30 million was used from the NIH and DOD.
Okay.
I don't have a problem if the pill is developed privately and it works.
Or, if the pill maybe works but has side effects and you are allowed to make that choice.
See?
Pro-choice.
I think you should be able to take experimental drugs if you and your own healthcare provider determine that it is appropriate.
I just don't want to have to pay for said drugs, and I certainly don't want to be mandated to take them myself.
I hope I've been clear about this for you.
Is that something that's clear?
Does everyone understand where we're coming from before you start calling us the fascists and you demand our money to fund drugs that we then have to take, whether we need to or not?
Let me give you some other examples.
Pfizer.
They had $18.9 billion in Q2 revenue.
Their earnings rose 73% over the past year.
Their operating margin, remember it was about 1.9 with Kroger?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Who Elizabeth Warren felt the need to host a Zoom call over.
This is a 1.9.
Guys, we've got to put a stop to this.
What's the comparable operating margin for Pfizer?
Oh, 31%?
What?
Are you serious?
Yeah.
That's better than drugs.
No, I'm not serious.
Sorry.
It's 30.84.
I don't want to be booted.
See, that's different.
Well, look, if you take away all of their COVID money, right, I think it goes down to like 10%.
Yeah.
Right.
So that's a huge difference.
They've only made a 20% profit off of COVID.
Right.
Or without COVID, they only make an average of five times the amount of COVID.
More than, yeah, actually 10.
Yeah.
Well, 1.9, I don't know the math.
The point is, Elizabeth Warren dominates her husband.
That man is used to playing wheelbarrow.
Now, here's what else is interesting while we're talking about these pharmaceutical drugs.
Revenues for their anti-clotting drug, Eloquii, by the way, not to be confused, Eloquii lives in a New York apartment, New York hotel.
Eloquii is the anti-clotting drug.
It rose 13%.
We're talking about Pfizer.
Oh, that's odd.
Well, because according to VAERS, there have been over 1700 reports of blood clots after the Pfizer vaccine.
It's like a certain wine with fish.
Yeah, you know, and that could be 1% of the total blood clotting complications.
Again, we don't want to jump to any conclusions.
Now, sales of their heart medication, while we're talking about these pharmaceutical companies who have operating margins that are 30 times higher than Kroger, Vindiquil as a medication went up 77%.
Now, to be clear, according to VAERS data, there have been 1,400 reports of myocarditis after Pfizer, not including other Heart-related complications, and the CDC even had a meeting about it, so it's not like it's something... It's not like I'm letting the cat out of the scientific bag on that one.
And I know some of you are saying, well, you can't rely on VAERS.
Well, then, you've never had any data on any vaccine, ever.
Because that's what's used.
So, the stock went up $1 billion from 2019 to 2020, and here's something else, while we're talking about Vindiquil, the medication, Pfizer, they're actually pushing for it to be funded by Medicare, and that would be $225,000 per year for this drug by Medicare.
Here's my issue, again, I don't think that I've subsidized the Fair Life milk at Kroger.
I probably have somewhere down the line.
We basically end up subsidizing everything.
But you understand my point.
Not the Crystal Light.
Crystal Light is subsidy-free, I'm sure.
I mean, I'm going to have a third nipple on my forehead by the time I'm 42, but I don't care.
It's calorie-free, and therefore it's guilt-free.
Now, here's my issue with the subsidization of these companies.
A lot.
Oh, not a lot at all then.
That's twice what Solyndra got and we almost lit the planet on fire when that came out.
Elizabeth Warren calling them out.
Let me give you another example.
Moderna, how much do you think that they received in taxpayer funding through BARDA?
A lot.
$955 million.
Oh, not a lot at all then.
Not to mention, by the way, the NIH owns half the patent on the vaccine.
That's twice what Solyndra got and we almost lit the planet on fire when that came out.
It was pretty bad.
Wow.
What else do we have?
We have, oh, Dr. Barney Graham.
He also created the spike protein technology used in the mRNA vaccines, and he owns the patent.
The Department of Health spent $250 million.
The Department of Health, and when I say these, I say Department of Health, I say BARDA, just sort of in your mind, replace it with your wallet.
$250 million in 2020 to convince Americans that the vaccine is safe.
So we spent billions of dollars To develop this vaccine, you, me, Dave, we kind of went in threesies, but Dave still hasn't paid his part yet.
We spent billions of dollars to create these vaccines that were so shitty we were then required to pay another 250 million dollars just to advertise to ourselves that it's not as shitty as we know it to be.
Well, and probably half of that was because every Democrat in the country came out against Donald Trump's vaccine while he was still president, so they had to erase all of that damage.
But they made a magical new vaccine when Biden was elected.
It wasn't the same thing.
Yeah, well, you know, Moderna never even brought a product to market, but then they got 100 million doses to the United States, so good for them.
Here's something else, too.
Yeah, but Steven, the why.
The why is the question.
There's a reason she's going after Kroger and not going after Pfizer and Moderna.
Johnson & Johnson.
Well, they did it to themselves.
It's easy.
Johnson & Johnson and inbred family company.
Um, several high, several high profile Biden administration members have financial ties to them.
That shouldn't come as a surprise.
Johnson and Johnson is just docking.
Yes.
That's for me.
I prefer the term Eskimo leader.
So Biden's science advisor, Dr. Eric Lander, he holds between $500,000 and $1 million in bio and tech stock.
He was actually conflicted out of COVID vaccine work until he divested $1 million of his stock holdings.
Congress won't take action either since Pfizer's pack donated to, guess how many, 228 lawmakers In 2020.
228 lawmakers in 2020.
Let me give you the names of some of the people who have received money from Pfizer.
And by the way, people can give money to whoever they want.
I understand that.
It wouldn't make a difference if we didn't have to subsidize these companies.
Hey, look, you can cut the head off.
This is a 19-headed beast.
You can cut any one of them off at this point and it'll die.
Look, fine, hey, they can donate to whoever they want, but there's a law that says that we don't subsidize these companies.
Or, okay, you know what?
They can't donate to anybody.
Or, you know what?
Okay, hey, if we're going to subsidize them, then we all reap the benefit of the profits at the same time so they don't socialize losses and privatize profits.
The point is there are so many points of contact here where you are getting screwed.
It's painfully clear the government doesn't care about you.
It's painfully clear that the Democratic Party doesn't want what's best for you.
Do you really think that they believe what's best for you is billions, and when you add up all the subsidies,
when you add up big banks, when you add up all these policies,
and you add up the too big to fail, hundreds of billions, trillions of dollars over time.
Do you really believe that they think it's best for you to spend billions of dollars in your tax dollars that they don't have while simultaneously printing more money so that your money becomes worth less so that they can prop up big pharmaceutical companies who then take all of the profits for themselves and tell you that the real problem is a piggly wiggly down the street?
Do you really think that they're looking out for you You really think they care that you're struggling to pay your bills, that you're dealing with the highest inflation in 40 years?
You really think they care about that?
If you believe that, you probably believe that the unvaxxed are the reason for the surge.
Let me give you the list of some of the notable people who've received money from Pfizer.
Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Nadler, Joe Manchin, Dick Blumenthal, Liz Cheney, Verne Buchanan, Dan Crenshaw, Lindsey Graham.
So a lot of people, by the way, on the left and on the right.
We're going to be doing Chat Thursday here, just so you know, here for Mug Club.
I would love it if you smash that like button, if you comment.
But let me recap this for you because this is important.
Let's follow this trail.
Okay, you have elected representatives who say, worry about Kroger.
worry about whatever it is, any given day, worry about Kroger, worry about fracking,
worry about Taco Tuesday, whatever the hell it is, worry about these things while simultaneously
taking your money, actually while simultaneously taking your money, while simultaneously devaluing
your money to prop up businesses and companies who subsidize their losses through you and
privatize all of their profits.
So these politicians say, here's money from the taxpayer.
These companies then take that money that they've gotten from the taxpayer to lobby
more politicians and lawmakers so that they continue to subsidize them at the cost of
Do you have any idea how screwed up that is?
You paid for the vaccine, and the vaccine lined the pockets so Pfizer could go and get Lindsey Graham some more money so that he could say, hey, let's make sure that you subsidize more vaccines.
I don't care if it's Elizabeth Warren, I don't care if it's Jerry Nadler, I don't care if it's Mitch McConnell, whoever it is.
All that needs to change for this to stop is you don't need to try socialism some new way.
You don't need to fundamentally change the tax code system.
What you just need to do is say, hey, no one is too big to fail.
And by the way, no taxpayer dollars go to private companies to prop them up.
You do that, guess what?
Problem solved.
We're not here.
And of course, you have the choice to put whatever you want in your own body.
Look, Elizabeth Warren's husband.
Pegging's his thing.
We'll see you later.
