This week, the boys are joined by Gerald A. Morgan to talk about his recent heart procedure, Dave Landau to discuss his recent trip to the ER, and to debate the differences between Joe Biden and Donald Trump on Afghanistan.
00:01:28.000Sorry, my special needs As it comes to it.
00:01:32.000And 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.
00:03:11.000Every day you get an hour of additional show in the entire Blaze catalog, though we will be talking.
00:03:15.000Listen, 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.
00:03:28.000And there are things you're not allowed... Let me be really clear.
00:03:30.000There are things you're not allowed to talk about on YouTube.
00:03:43.000It's kind of just like laying it out on the table.
00:03:46.000So 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.
00:04:51.000Any journalist who says horse paste, horse dewormer, is guilty of malpractice.
00:04:56.000Little 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.
00:05:31.000So, I was talking with all the people who work at this, some of the Millennials, and I said, I never heard of that.
00:05:35.000I 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?
00:05:42.000They 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?
00:07:13.000She'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?
00:07:25.000It's like... Am I supporting the head?
00:07:34.000I think they make them malleable just for the fathers.
00:07:36.000Like, 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.
00:12:40.000Matt, did you think they were going to give you grace?
00:12:44.000Do 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?
00:14:24.000So 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.
00:14:34.000I mean, it just depends on where you look.
00:14:35.000It'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.
00:15:39.000But before we move on to that, we did want to react really quickly.
00:15:41.000We're going to be talking about COVID, the numbers too, and you blame the unvaccinated, I blame the fat.
00:15:46.000So 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.
00:16:03.000Is that a tattoo between the tube socks?
00:20:05.000This 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.
00:20:13.000I 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.
00:20:21.000Now here's the thing, Remember, what matters is the claim that they made.
00:20:27.000Joe Biden said there would be no complications of withdrawal.
00:20:30.000Then he said, well, you couldn't do this without any kind of complications.
00:20:33.000He said no Americans will be left behind.
00:20:37.000Then it was most Americans have been, you know, they've been taken back home.
00:20:42.000And 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.
00:20:50.000Or they were told for months how to move.
00:20:52.000Well, 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.
00:20:59.000But you show up and you're locked out of the airport.
00:21:03.000The 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.
00:21:21.000I want to go to thought after but this was going on this morning with CNN's
00:21:25.000Brianna Kehler, not Poppy Harlow, the other blonde, and there was a
00:21:30.000man on there who was talking, working for another organization, talking about trying
00:21:33.000to get Americans out and being stonewalled by the State Department.
00:21:38.000I guarantee you, and you can go and search this and watch the whole segment at CNN.
00:21:43.000They 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.
00:22:06.000First I want to ask you about this particular characterization of what happened by the U.S.
00:22:11.000State 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
00:22:26.000the U.S. has facilitated the safe departure of four U.S. citizens by overland route
00:22:32.000Embassy staff was present upon arrival. So just to be clear, are you saying that they actually did
00:22:37.000not facilitate the overland departure of these four? Are you saying that embassy staff were
00:22:42.000not present at the exit? They got present on the second day.
00:22:47.000We 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.
00:22:56.000This is after he set it up, saying the State Department's done with us.
00:23:55.000They came in at the end once they used bolt cutters to cut a little representative shaped hole through the fence.
00:24:03.000So 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?
00:25:05.000We'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.
00:25:57.000It'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.
00:26:06.000Well, she's also admitting that men want sex more and women use it as a weapon.
00:26:10.000Yeah, while failing to realize that the rule doesn't apply to Bette Midler.
00:28:31.000But I do want to know the story behind that eye.
00:28:37.000A, it was an accident completely outside of his own free will that happened, and he needed to get a fake eye.
00:28:44.000In which case, he's just like, roll with it, become a Satanist.
00:28:46.000Or, 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.
00:28:59.000Because that's the only way I would respect anyone in the Satanic temple.
00:29:02.000If he spooned out his eye and put in A marble or glass eye.
00:29:51.000The Satan man can... He also had a glass eye.
00:29:54.000Maybe that's part of... All can take a sacrifice!
00:29:57.000Yeah, maybe he's doing it to be like Sammy.
00:29:59.000He's like, everybody's got to have one glass eye to be a Satan worshipper.
00:30:03.000By 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.
00:30:15.000And 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.
00:33:12.000Here'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.
00:33:22.000Not offering any medical advice, but a lot of people don't know anything about it.
00:33:26.000So we'll talk about that, but first, here's a story that many people know.
00:33:29.000This was their introduction to ivermectin.
00:33:32.000Over the weekend, it was reported, and this was all over the place, Rachel Maddow, Rolling Stone, that a hospital in Oklahoma...
00:33:38.000had no beds because of too many people and they were saying so many poison
00:33:42.000control situations calls by the way someone can call poison control
00:35:32.000Writers at Rolling Stone, as far as I know, not a doctor.
00:35:34.000Also, who knows Rachel at Rolling Stone?
00:35:35.000A 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.
00:35:49.000With that said, Dr. McClea has not worked at our Salisaw location, which is what he claimed, for over two months.
00:35:55.000NHS Sequoia has not treated any patients due to complications related to taking ivermectin.
00:36:00.000This includes not treating any patients for ivermectin overdose.
00:36:05.000All patients who have visited our emergency room have received medical attention as appropriate.
00:36:09.000Our hospital has not had to turn away any patients seeking emergency care.
00:36:14.000And, 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.
00:36:32.000At a certain point, you can't say they're ignorant.
00:36:34.000They knowingly didn't do any due diligence.
00:36:37.000They 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.
00:36:50.000It is used in both humans and animals.
00:36:52.000For crying out loud, my sister-in-law has a dog on Prozac.
00:38:28.000I love that this is the guy they went to.
00:38:32.000This 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.
00:39:04.000They actually, a lot of hospitals have... First off, let me go through a couple of things here.
00:39:09.000Hospitals operate very near capacity, always, because it's about profit margins.
00:39:16.000In other words, if they have a bunch of unused capacity, often they'll end up closing those down, or they won't staff them.
00:39:21.000Right now, they actually have more beds than the media is telling you, but they are understaffed.
00:39:26.000A 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.
00:39:36.000I 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.
00:39:46.000Just to be clear, do I have that about right?
00:39:48.000Yeah, 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.
00:39:58.000Maybe you go to the ER and you would go somewhere else, they take you somewhere else, or they send you to another hospital.
00:40:01.000This 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.
00:40:07.000It's like, well, you got empty tables, we don't have any servers.
00:40:09.000You don't have any nurses to take care of you, so we can't put you in these beds.
00:40:12.000And if they have so many open beds, they're paying for them.
00:40:15.000They 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!
00:40:22.000No, 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.
00:40:31.000We stuck your dick in a frosty machine.
00:40:34.000Listen, when you try to put the thing under the Frosty, sometimes... No, I don't want to talk about it.
00:41:43.000To 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?
00:42:26.000And 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?
00:42:32.000If you're working out, you get that lactic acid buildup.
00:42:34.000This symbolizes working out if you improperly use a squat rack.
00:44:18.000And 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.
00:44:24.000And I went up, there was this wonderful nurse named Ramona who said, that's total bullcrap.
00:45:44.000It doesn't help that we always wear the devil walrus mask.
00:45:50.000She looks hot and hocus pocus compared to now.
00:45:54.000By 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?
00:46:06.000So let's go through Biden versus Trump on Afghanistan here.
00:46:10.000This is something that's been going on for a while, but the media has just moved on as though it's normal.
00:46:14.000And again, I want to hear from you guys if you ever actually bought this, if you understood and if you were able to articulate.
00:46:22.000This 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.
00:46:31.000No one here has a problem with withdrawing from Afghanistan.
00:46:35.000And 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.
00:46:41.00070,000-something Taliban over, I think it was 400,000 Afghan members, and they were fleeing.
00:46:45.000And 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.
00:46:50.000The 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.
00:46:55.000But not the people fleeing buildings telling the Taliban, like, it's not, they never touched it.
00:47:01.000Um, this is the narrative that Biden has been setting.
00:47:04.000I've never heard a president accept less responsibility, aside from maybe Barack Obama, uh, trying to blame it numerous times on Trump.
00:47:13.000My predecessor, the former president, signed an agreement with the Taliban to remove US troops by May the 1st, just months after I was inaugurated.
00:47:26.000It included no requirement that Taliban work out a cooperative government arrangement with the Afghan government.
00:47:33.000But it did authorize the release of 5,000 prisoners last year.
00:49:21.000But that's what we should do with the Taliban.
00:49:22.000Do 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.
00:49:30.000Like he decided to come out and be like, don't go across that road.
00:50:39.000And I mean Poppy, female, not And not Afghanistan reporter Opium Poppy.
00:50:47.000So the timeline from Donald Trump was set over nine and a half months.
00:50:52.000Withdrawal to be completed as opposed to Joe Biden who suddenly withdrew really over a couple of weeks.
00:50:57.000And 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.
00:51:27.000If you don't understand that difference, You're an idiot or you're being disingenuous for crying out loud.
00:51:32.000Just play a Call of Duty game or watch any action film.
00:51:35.000The last guy to get on the chopper is the guy with the gun who sits on the edge.
00:51:39.000You do not withdraw military before other people, especially when you know that they're going to be overrun by the Taliban.
00:51:47.000Anyone who says they don't understand that fundamental difference is not being honest.
00:51:52.000And I'll go through some other differences.
00:53:12.000He went over and spoke with Kim Jong Un and said a bunch of nice things, right?
00:53:15.000Then 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.
00:53:39.000Do 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.
00:53:50.000In that prisoner swap, he released the now-commander of the Taliban, I want to make sure I get this name right, Kairula Karawaka.
00:54:43.000Well, that's 4,000 mouths we don't have to feed.
00:54:47.0004,000, you know, we save a lot of hummus money.
00:54:49.000If 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.
00:54:54.000Maybe he needs to be over there for a little bit.
00:54:56.000Look, 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.
00:55:07.000So maybe we can get another perspective.
00:56:26.000But you just said you had them and were distributing them and it's all, you enjoy, you like weapons as a liberal?
00:56:33.000Well, 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.
00:56:46.000Did President Trump plan on removing the military before civilians?
00:57:25.000Um, 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.
00:57:58.000Let 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.
00:58:05.000Again, if people out there don't understand the difference between...
00:58:08.000I 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.
01:00:30.000By 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.
01:00:41.000So 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.
01:03:04.000We have more, but... Right, thank you.
01:03:05.000But I would... That's one... This is something that really bothers me, okay?
01:03:09.000As an alternative treatment, an alternative to what?
01:03:12.000When 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?
01:03:17.000I'm not talking about a vaccine, which people obviously should make that decision between them and their prescribing physician.
01:03:24.000Of course everyone should have the right and decision to control their own body and what they put in their own body.
01:03:31.000What treatment, though, if you already have COVID?
01:03:32.000If you go to the hospital now, they say go home and take Tylenol, come back in, and they toss you on a ventilator.
01:03:37.000In other words, let's say ivermectin were used, which it has been in some other countries.
01:03:42.000We cannot argue whether it's been used effectively or not, because that's not allowed on YouTube.
01:03:46.000However, I think we could say Joe Rogan did effectively use it, though, or at least in his opinion.
01:03:56.000Yeah, but three days later he tested negative.
01:03:58.000But 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.
01:04:09.000It would be in lieu of what treatment given to you at the hospital.
01:04:21.000If 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.
01:04:33.000When 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?
01:04:42.000Well, I think if you're elderly, they try to put you in with other elderly people where somebody can hit you.
01:04:49.000And then they fill those homes with... Elderly crips.
01:04:52.000Yes, it's called punch the COVID out of your face.
01:04:57.000Well, I agree with you, but I have heard that horses love it.
01:05:18.000So 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.
01:05:25.000What would you tell someone who is considering taking that drug?
01:05:32.000There'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.
01:05:46.000There's no clinical evidence that indicates that this works.
01:05:50.000Oh, so taking mega doses is a problem just like Tylenol or Aspirin?
01:06:42.000He 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...
01:07:11.000It is an anti-parasitic medicine with an over 30 year history in treating humans.
01:07:17.000The 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.
01:07:28.000That's a fun way of saying the white guy took it.
01:07:41.000I'm the Thomas Edison of the medicine world.
01:07:43.000Satoshi's at his loft, he just sees it above the toilet, he's like, is that, uh, no, no, no, it's a replica.
01:07:49.000I took yours and I made it better, I added sugar.
01:07:53.000And 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.
01:08:05.000That is the World Health Organization, not E. Townsend, the guy who researches child porn for an acting role.
01:08:26.000Oh come on, that was a brilliant pull.
01:08:31.000Again, this is something that has a long history Being used with human beings, and it's just amazing.
01:08:38.000I 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.
01:11:10.000And by the way, some people are saying, oh, it's antiparasitic.
01:11:13.000Well, 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.
01:11:26.000So it's not unheard of at all for medications to be used off-label.
01:11:31.000And this has been over 250 million people, I think, is the number, annually.
01:13:37.000And 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?
01:14:13.000$350 million for a vaccine and then a multi-billion dollar government contract makes a little more sense than something less profitable than aspirin.
01:14:21.000Well, I love how all of a sudden, though, clinical trials and data over several years matters.
01:14:46.000Well, 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?
01:14:53.000Yeah, before they became the voice of Big Pharma.
01:14:54.000of big pharma, there can be no vested interest in something like ivermectin and something
01:15:13.000But what a brilliant business model to create a vaccine, and then God knows what's going
01:15:17.000to happen with the variant, because there are variants with all kinds of coronaviruses
01:15:20.000that have existed since the beginning, since the inception of coronaviruses.
01:15:24.000And now, because of a variant, you need another booster.
01:15:26.000And of course, there will be another variant, and you're going to need another booster.
01:15:30.000So 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.
01:15:37.000And there are a lot of people right now, look, you want to solve vaccine hesitancy?
01:15:41.000Then 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?
01:15:59.000Perhaps they could say it's a rushed vaccine, maybe.
01:16:15.000They were, I'll leave that to you to find out, they were... I did.
01:16:19.000They 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.
01:16:25.000And now they're saying if you don't have the third, you're treated as essentially unvaccinated.
01:16:29.000Like if you don't have the booster, you are now back to being unvaccinated.
01:16:32.000And so the goalpost just keeps moving in these things.
01:16:35.000So, don't think we're like conspiracy theorists here.
01:16:37.000We're like, this is happening real time in other countries.
01:16:40.000Yeah, 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.
01:16:57.000So, 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.
01:17:11.000We are just saying that the CDC recommends all of these mass hysteria refugees be given ivermectin.
01:17:21.000Hey, by the way, Lily just sent in that Merck is launching new trials of oral COVID-19 drugs.
01:17:27.000It's gonna be ivermectin with a time-release coating.
01:19:38.000I 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.
01:19:51.000And 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.
01:20:29.000The state is also seeing an alarming spike in cases among children.
01:20:32.000But 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.
01:20:43.000It ain't gonna be COVID, let me tell you.
01:20:45.000You mean an old lady on the back of an Indian at Sturgis?
01:20:48.000How much of a threat is the Delta variant right now?
01:22:05.000Keep 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?
01:22:14.000I think it's something right around that, yeah.
01:23:42.000Now, here's, I think, I think what matters though too is we can talk, I think we need to look at that.
01:23:46.000So 0.2% of the population have died from COVID.
01:23:48.000This is assuming, by the way, no false positives.
01:23:50.000This 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.
01:24:00.000Let's just assume all these numbers are accurate.
01:24:02.000That's a conversation we've had in other shows.
01:24:19.000Well, now I'm just seeing where we're at.
01:24:23.000Well, the numbers are fairly small, right?
01:24:24.000I mean, now what age group is the most affected by COVID?
01:24:29.000Uh, well, we know it's over 85 years old.
01:24:31.000Okay, 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.
01:25:31.000I'm gonna make up a new story every day until she freaks out on me.
01:25:35.000By 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.
01:26:04.000And 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.
01:26:11.000Not throwing old folks back in with other old folks when they're sick would probably be a place to start.
01:29:33.000The 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.
01:29:43.000But I think there's a number, wasn't it like three times or something more likely?
01:29:54.000higher 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.
01:30:15.000Also, why people who have blood-type pudding are at greater risk.
01:30:18.000So I think that's sort of a self-explanatory issue.
01:30:22.000According to the CDC, a three-time higher risk... Somebody go snapped in the playground?
01:30:27.000A 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.
01:31:32.000Look at, you have to look, you're a father.
01:31:34.000It's not the kid's fault, it's the parent's fault.
01:31:37.000Well 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.
01:32:03.000By the way, we have all those links available at the website.
01:32:05.000There's one from The Sun, CNN, ABC, Yahoo, News 3 Memphis.
01:32:09.000There'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.
01:32:32.000There'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?
01:32:39.000We've seen that all over the country, right?
01:33:25.000Get 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.
01:33:32.000Set up their office in a way that makes it usable for fat people, like putting chairs without arms in every room.
01:33:38.000When you go to a clothing store, tell them to expand their size range.
01:33:42.000It does not matter what their size range currently is.
01:34:02.000There 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.
01:35:51.000What 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.
01:36:14.000It's something that will affect your capability to fight off viruses, diseases of any kind as you move forward is diet and exercise.
01:36:23.000And it certainly is more relevant as we're trying to create the social safety net of socialized healthcare.
01:36:28.000And I come from Canada where I experienced it and it sucks.
01:36:31.000When we're talking about offloading the costs onto other people, we have an obesity problem in this country.
01:36:37.000I 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.
01:36:57.000And you can even look at a geographical map.
01:36:59.000It reads basically like a franchise pamphlet for Jack in the Box.
01:37:04.000So, people out there, you can comment.
01:37:07.000Of course, YouTube, thank you so much.
01:37:10.000Everyone who's been watching, first show back.
01:37:12.000The show every Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
