00:01:54.000 The Biden regime's legislative agenda is disintegrating.

00:02:00.000 It is falling apart.

00:02:01.000 It is fragmenting.

00:02:03.000 It is breaking up in front of our very eyes.

00:02:07.000 Right now in Washington, D.C., there is a somewhat private, because the activist press will not cover it like they should, civil war happening in the Democrat Party.

00:02:21.000 Late last night, it was announced that there was going to be no vote on either the infrastructure package, the reconciliation bill.

00:02:28.000 And it seems they might have the votes for a continuing resolution, but distrust is running high, distrust, as Politico says.

00:02:35.000 A lot of Hill Democrats were stunned by an unusual written agreement by Chuck Schumer and Manchin signed in late July laying out the West Virginia's terms, West Virginia senators' terms for a reconciliation deal.

00:02:52.000 Some members felt blindsided, not just rank and file backbenchers, but senior Democrats who had no idea Manchin told Schumer two months ago that his top line number was $1.5 trillion.

00:03:04.000 Others were just perplexed that a leader and a senator would sign such an agreement.

00:03:09.000 So essentially, they have this kind of strange contract.

00:03:12.000 Long gone are the days of handshake deals and trust.

00:03:16.000 And I think that's actually a very interesting example and microcosm of how the country has fallen apart.

00:03:21.000 Used to be able to do land deals and real estate deals on handshakes in the American West.

00:03:25.000 Now you got to bring in platoons of lawyers and 30 days closing, and you have to get all sorts of other parties involved.

00:03:31.000 And Congress, I guess, is no different.

00:03:33.000 In the Senate, they used to say, I trust you, I trust you.

00:03:35.000 Let's do a deal.

00:03:36.000 Now they have signed written agreements between senators of the own political party because they don't trust each other at all.

00:03:43.000 So the moderates have come up short for now, the moderates in the Democrat Party, put that in air quotes.

00:03:48.000 House centrists have said many times that the speaker would keep her word and would hold the bipartisan infrastructure package vote regardless of the status of the massive build back better plan, the $3.5 trillion.

00:04:03.000 But on Thursday night, we saw that Pelosi, confronting the reality within her caucus, wasn't eager to decouple the two votes as moderates once thought.

00:04:13.000 Some moderates are not happy at all in the House of Representatives, with the thinnest of all margins.

00:04:21.000 And now you're starting to see members of the Democrat Party go at each other.

00:04:28.000 The comrade himself is leading the charge.

00:04:33.000 Bernie Sanders is executing a full court press.

00:04:37.000 He was up early this morning talking about how this is completely and totally unacceptable on how the revolution is hitting a little bit of a speed bump.

00:04:48.000 But let's take a step back.

00:04:50.000 As we cover what's happening in Washington, D.C., as the regime's legislative agenda deteriorates and falls apart and gets put into jeopardy, let's find out what's really happening here.

00:05:00.000 Because we'll get into the drama and the palace intrigue and all of that.

00:05:03.000 What's happening here is the founding fathers and framers, hundreds of years later, preventing these maniacs from getting their way.

00:05:16.000 You see, every banana republic across the planet has a Bill of Rights.

00:05:22.000 The Bill of Rights does not keep us free.

00:05:24.000 Constitution, if you go back to the actual word constitution, it means structure.

00:05:29.000 It means the format.

00:05:31.000 It means how we govern oneself within a specific architected way of legislation.

00:05:43.000 More specifically, it's separation of powers.

00:05:46.000 Separation of powers is the way and the reason why America has remained, at least for now, a country that has not been taken over by these Marxist insurgents.

00:06:02.000 This is dividing the political branches is a defining characteristic of American constitutionalism.

00:06:12.000 And so here you have Bernie Sanders, who comes out and issues this press release or tweet, I should say.

00:06:20.000 He says, two senators cannot be allowed to defeat what 48 senators and 210 House members want.

00:06:26.000 We must stand with the working families of our country.

00:06:30.000 We must combat climate change.

00:06:32.000 We must delay passing the infrastructure bill and pass a strong reconciliation bill.

00:06:39.000 So you have Manchin and Sinema who are holding the line.

00:06:44.000 But interestingly enough, not just those two senators, but you also have the 50 Republican senators.

00:06:50.000 So just a little bit of math, Bernie.

00:06:52.000 That's 52 versus 48.

00:06:55.000 It's not just a Democrat Senate.

00:06:58.000 You see, Bernie Sanders wants the American system to not be a constitutional system.

00:07:04.000 He wants a parliamentarian system where the executive and the legislative are one, where the separation of powers is basically destroyed.

00:07:12.000 And Woodrow Wilson and Lyndon Baines Johnson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt spoke about how separation of powers truly was and is the great roadblock towards widespread and aggressive, progressive reform.

00:07:30.000 And just a side picture, this is one of the advantages of having President Trump de-emphasize, because now Democrats have to fight amongst themselves.

00:07:39.000 They actually have to figure out their own differences.

00:07:42.000 So Bernie Sanders is upset that 52 people don't want this bill, but 48 people want the bill.

00:07:47.000 And he says, that's not fair.

00:07:50.000 Well, Bernie, 52 is greater than 48.

00:07:52.000 How many times have you heard Bernie Sanders say, democracy is under attack in our country?

00:07:59.000 So let me be clear, Bernie.

00:08:00.000 You want 48 people to be able to pass a bill against 52.

00:08:06.000 That doesn't sound very Democratic.

00:08:10.000 Democrats are continuing to tear each other apart, being able to agree on basically nothing.

00:08:17.000 Senator Joe Manchin has come out and he said, look, I don't know who you think I am, but I've never been a liberal in any way, shape, or form.

00:08:26.000 So if you want a bigger reconciliation bill, you're going to have to elect more liberals.

00:08:30.000 Let's play cut 110 of Senator Joe Manchin basically saying, I don't know who you think you're talking to, but I'm no liberal.

00:08:39.000 Play cut 110.

00:08:41.000 I've never been a liberal in any way, shape, or the form.

00:08:45.000 There's no one who's ever thought I was.

00:08:48.000 I've been governor.

00:08:49.000 I've been secretary of state.

00:08:50.000 I've been state legislature.

00:08:52.000 I've been a U.S. Senator.

00:08:53.000 And I have voted pretty consistently all my whole life.

00:08:56.000 I don't float any of them who believe that they're much more progressive and much more liberal.

00:09:00.000 God bless them.

00:09:02.000 And all they need to do is we have to elect more, I guess, for them to get their elect more liberals.

00:09:07.000 Yeah, go use the Democratic process.

00:09:09.000 Go win Senate races.

00:09:11.000 Well, no, actually, Susan Collins won in Maine against a liberal. 0.99

00:09:14.000 Tom Tillis won in North Carolina against a liberal.

00:09:17.000 We had our act together in Georgia, we would have won those two races against Rafael Warnock and Osuf.

00:09:22.000 But the great Herschel Walker is going to take care of that one next November.

00:09:26.000 Ron Johnson beat liberal Russ Feingold six years ago.

00:09:34.000 The process, Bernie, is not you get what you want just because you have four votes short.

00:09:40.000 So the Democrats right now are not really sure the direction they want to go.

00:09:48.000 We are seeing massive inflation, a completely open southern border, the debacle in Afghanistan.

00:09:54.000 The economy is teetering on the brink.

00:09:58.000 And what are Democrats trying to do?

00:09:59.000 They're trying to pass a $4.7 trillion package, but they're running into mansion and cinema at every single turn.

00:10:07.000 Now, some people on television are saying, this is gridlock.

00:10:10.000 This is terrible.

00:10:12.000 And that actually allows us to remain free, that our liberty is protected by how difficult it is to pass a $4.7 trillion spending package.

00:10:28.000 If you are a regular listener to my show, you know that I'm all about confronting the challenges that are facing our country and protecting our fundamental freedoms.

00:10:36.000 It's why I'm partnering with the Alliance Defending Freedom.

00:10:40.000 ADF is in the trenches every single day, fighting pivotal court battles that affect our future.

00:10:45.000 But here's the deal.

00:10:46.000 They never charge their clients a dime.

00:10:48.000 That's right.

00:10:49.000 When they represented us and our students at Turning Point USA, they never charged us a dime.

00:10:53.000 They did a wonderful job of representing our students, and they never had to pay for their own legal defense, and you won't have to either.

00:11:01.000 But ADF is a nonprofit ministry, and they need your help in order to continue to fight pivotal court battles and protect our freedoms.

00:11:08.000 Your investment of $100 or more in the Freedom Fund will help us do just that.

00:11:12.000 My goal this month is to raise them at least $20,000.

00:11:15.000 I hope you will be as generous as you can.

00:11:17.000 Go to charliekirk.com right now.

00:11:20.000 That's charliekirk.com and click on the Alliance Defending Freedom banner or call 888-670-1599, 888-670-1599, or go to charliekirk.com and give some money.

00:11:37.000 Liberty is never safe when the legislature is in session.

00:11:43.000 You see, the framers, they knew that political bandits and robber barons would always be trying to pass multi-trillion dollar or at the time million dollar bills to steal our freedom and liberty.

00:11:57.000 Gridlock forces the process to go slower than your intentions.

00:12:04.000 So the process is constant.

00:12:07.000 The process or the constitutional structure is there to hold you in check when you want to go really fast.

00:12:17.000 So what we are living through right now and what Washington is experiencing is legislative stalemate, mostly within the Democrat Party.

00:12:27.000 And credit to Mitch McConnell.

00:12:29.000 Mitch McConnell has forced the hand of legislative stalemate amongst the Democrats.

00:12:35.000 He said, I'm not going to give you any help in this.

00:12:39.000 You fight amongst yourself, moderates versus the radicals.

00:12:42.000 Mitch McConnell is playing this brilliantly.

00:12:45.000 So legislative stalemate, which is what's happening right now, is a check on our passions and zeal when people want to transform and restructure the nation.

00:12:59.000 The Founding Fathers knew that there would be this excitement, that there would be this drive at times amongst the revolutionary types like Bernie Sanders to try and restructure the nation.

00:13:13.000 Now, you might think that AOC and Bernie Sanders are a new phenomenon.

00:13:19.000 The Founding Fathers dealt with maniacs like them in different forms back in the 1780s and 1790s, specifically Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin.

00:13:30.000 Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin visited France many times.

00:13:35.000 They loved Paris.

00:13:36.000 It was kind of the center of the enlightened world.

00:13:39.000 They saw firsthand the impact that Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the early rumblings of the Jacobins had on the French people.

00:13:51.000 So Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson specifically, being very well versed in French politics, came back to America.

00:14:01.000 They said, hey, we got to have some sort of a check in this younger revolutionary fervor to slow things down. 0.59

00:14:10.000 And we all know what happened once the French Revolution began and the Jacobins had their thirst for blood.

00:14:16.000 The aristocracy was displaced. 0.53

00:14:19.000 The blood started to flow.

00:14:23.000 It was a complete and total chaotic mess within the French Revolution.

00:14:27.000 And Robespierre, who led the French Revolution, Maximilian Robespierre, he himself was killed by his own revolutionaries where the applause lasted for more than 10 minutes.

00:14:38.000 So the Founding Fathers, they saw the AOC and Bernie Sanders types coming from a mile away.

00:14:43.000 They think that they're kind of this new player on the block.

00:14:46.000 No, no, no.

00:14:46.000 Hamilton, Madison, Jay, Jefferson, and Franklin.

00:14:50.000 Now, Jefferson and Franklin had less of a role in developing the actual details of the Constitution.

00:14:55.000 But make no mistake, Thomas Jefferson and Franklin were very generous contributors to the system that we know as a constitutional republic today.

00:15:07.000 And so the gridlock that is happening right now, the horns that are locking between Chuck Yu Schumer and AOC, or Pramilla Jayapal and Joe Manchin, is intentional.

00:15:17.000 They are falling into the system.

00:15:22.000 They have now walked and waltzed straight into the separation of powers process that men now dead laid out in front of them.

00:15:35.000 Why?

00:15:37.000 Because the founding fathers realize that your natural state, the state of nature, the social contract that we are going to engage in, natural rights given to you by God, that you are free.

00:15:47.000 And that the only thing that could take away your freedom, absent a tyrannical corporation that we obviously speak out a lot on this program, is government.

00:15:57.000 Is government coming in and passing voluminous laws and legislation that take away your liberties and freedoms?

00:16:03.000 And Bernie Sanders doesn't like that.

00:16:05.000 Bernie Sanders, being the same sort of Jacobin French revolution type Robespierre that Jefferson and Franklin saw from a mile away, says, who cares?

00:16:14.000 We have 48 votes.

00:16:14.000 It doesn't matter 52 people are against us.

00:16:16.000 Our ideas are so good, so revolutionary, we should be given a chance.

00:16:20.000 But this is what happens, though, is that the gridlock or the locking of the horns or the slow and deliberate process says, you know what?

00:16:30.000 You have to slow down.

00:16:32.000 Your intentions have to correlate with the structure.

00:16:36.000 This is why they want to add justices to the Supreme Court.

00:16:41.000 This is why they want to disintegrate the Constitution as we know it.

00:16:45.000 They think that one of the attributes of the Constitution that spreads power over space and time, which means it takes a lot of time to do things and a lot of states to agree, is an unnecessary annoyance to the revolution.

00:17:00.000 But let me say this.

00:17:01.000 God bless Hamilton, Madison, J., Jefferson, and Franklin for giving us a check and balance against maniacs like Bernie Sanders and AOC.

00:17:11.000 Hey, everybody, I want you to imagine over 100,000 Americans losing their jobs.

00:17:15.000 Well, you could stop imagining because it's reality, everybody.

00:17:18.000 Since 2015, over 100,000 independent farms and ranches in the United States have shut down.

00:17:23.000 Why? 1.00

00:17:24.000 Because foreign meat is stealing their business and robbing you of the quality and flavor you deserve. 0.84

00:17:28.000 China has destroyed the American economy through dumping products, and they've also waged war on American ranchers. 0.94

00:17:34.000 It's time to stick it to China. 0.98

00:17:36.000 And that's what Good Ranchers does so well.

00:17:38.000 They exist to support local American farms that help you make great American meals.

00:17:42.000 Together, they want to restore the American ranch and your meals to the former glory.

00:17:52.000 Did you know that the product of USA TAG has been stolen by foreign countries?

00:17:56.000 They process their meat here and then label it like it came from America fraudulently because of these labeling laws that favor foreign imported meat.

00:18:03.000 Over 100,000 independent American farms and ranches have closed since 2015.

00:18:08.000 Good Ranchers is here to put America first at the dinner table and the ranchers that have worked to raise the meat we eat.

00:19:53.000 The Senate is in total disarray.

00:19:55.000 The House doesn't know what's going on as the legislative stalemate that we are seeing in Washington, D.C., is causing the Democrat regime to try to ask the question: do we want to push forward a multi-trillion dollar spending bill, $4.7 trillion, or do we want to have at least some sort of an excuse that we are still political moderates?

00:20:17.000 Well, the structure of the United States Constitution is what is forcing the hand here.

00:20:22.000 And make no mistake, if they win enough seats, if the Democrat regime gets enough power, they're going to want to disassemble the structure one day as well.

00:20:31.000 They're going to want to pick this thing apart from within.

00:20:35.000 We must fall in love with the political gridlock.

00:20:39.000 Now, it's very frustrating when Republicans control the chambers when they almost can get nothing done, or they seemingly are afraid of their own shadow to get something done.

00:20:51.000 But when we are in the minority, it's rather refreshing to have the U.S. Constitution and the structure behind it as a backstop.

00:21:00.000 Anton and Scalia, one of the great men ever to live in American history, cut 117, saying why political gridlock is a good thing.

00:21:10.000 Play tape.

00:21:11.000 And I hear Americans saying this nowadays, and there's a lot of it going around.

00:21:16.000 They talk about a dysfunctional government because there's disagreement.

00:21:22.000 And the framers would have said yes.

00:21:25.000 That's exactly the way we set it up.

00:21:28.000 We wanted this to be power contradicting power because the main ill that beset us, as Hamilton said in the Federalists, when he talked about a separate Senate, he said, yes, it seems inconvenient, but inasmuch as the main ill that besets us is an excess of legislation, it won't be so bad.

00:21:50.000 This is 1787.

00:21:51.000 He didn't know what an excess of legislation was.

00:21:54.000 Where they now have 2,500 pages and trillions of dollars of spending, as Senator Barrasso showed us yesterday.

00:22:02.000 Cut 118.

00:22:03.000 Anton and Scalia continues by saying, We must fall in love with the gridlock.

00:22:07.000 This is so critically important, everybody, that the stalemate that is occurring in D.C. is a gift given to us by a few good men who designed our system.

00:22:19.000 Play tape.

00:22:20.000 So, unless Americans can appreciate that and learn to love the separation of powers, which means learning to love the gridlock, which the framers believed would be the main protection of minorities, the main protection.

00:22:37.000 If a bill is about to pass that really comes down hard on some minority, they think it's terribly unfair, it doesn't take much to throw a monkey wrench into this complex system.

00:22:48.000 So, Americans should appreciate that, and they should learn to love the gridlock.

00:22:56.000 It's there for a reason, so that the legislation that gets out will be good legislation.

00:23:02.000 We need a vote, AOC says.

00:23:05.000 Top progressives are insisting a framework of reconciliation deal won't get them back to the bipartisan infrastructure bill.

00:23:12.000 White House officials and senior congressional leaders are still trying to break lock in a framework.

00:23:17.000 We need a vote.

00:23:18.000 We need to be real, AOC says.

00:23:20.000 I know we're all committed to the same goal.

00:23:23.000 The Progressive Caucus Chair, Pramila Jayapal, says, I've consistently said that we need a vote in the Senate because I want to make sure there are no delays, that there are no mix-ups, there are no mixed understandings about the deal.

00:23:34.000 It's both content and process.

00:23:37.000 No delays, no mix-ups.

00:23:37.000 You hear that?

00:23:39.000 You see, Pramil Jayapal or Pramila Jayapal.

00:23:44.000 Delays is what the system is built for.

00:23:46.000 We want to make sure that when you're going to pass trillions of dollars, that you measure twice and cut once.

00:23:56.000 Now, you know exactly what you are going to do before you do it.

00:23:59.000 Politico continues by saying, Jayapal, like centrist Senator Joe Manchin, said she's sticking around in Washington, D.C. to keep the negotiations going.

00:24:12.000 But earlier this morning, progressives won the immediate battle over Joe Manchin as the infrastructure vote got delayed.

00:24:20.000 You see, the moderates want the infrastructure package because it's a bipartisan infrastructure bill.

00:24:24.000 The progressives want them both together right now, spend as much money as we possibly can and throw everything that we have at it.

00:24:33.000 And last night, there was a quote from somebody in the Democrat Party that says, there is no limits to what government can do because government can spend what government wants to spend.

00:24:45.000 Senator Rand Paul in Cut 24 calls out the squad and the socialism in the Democrat Party and this anti-liberty, anti-freedom movement that we have seen in Cut 124 says that they have not read their history or understand it.

00:25:01.000 Cut 124.

00:25:02.000 The ultimate is that there are actually people in our government now promising socialism.

00:25:07.000 People say, oh, that's not true.

00:25:08.000 Well, we've now elected people from the Democrat Socialist Party, the Democrat Socialists of America, AOC and the squad.

00:25:16.000 They're members of the Socialist Party.

00:25:18.000 It used to be people said, oh, I'm not really a liberal.

00:25:20.000 I'm a progressive.

00:25:21.000 Now they're openly admitting they are socialists.

00:25:24.000 The problem is we've tried socialism.

00:25:26.000 They haven't read their history.

00:25:29.000 I've heard of Stalin.

00:25:30.000 Maybe y'all heard of Hitler.

00:25:32.000 People say, oh, Hitler wasn't a socialist.

00:25:33.000 Well, his party was the National Socialist Workers' Party. 0.79

00:25:37.000 Celebrate the gridlock and the deliberate process of passing laws.

00:25:41.000 We're going to keep our eyes on what's happening in Washington, D.C. with Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema.

00:25:47.000 And as the progressives go into civil war and they hit a roadblock that was designed hundreds of years before, there's more drama happening around the vaccine mandates.

00:26:01.000 I want to play this one clip here.

00:26:03.000 I think we have of Draymond Green, 111.

00:26:06.000 NBA player Draymond Green, who went to Michigan State University, everybody, and played for the great Tom Izzo.

00:26:13.000 He's got a lot of high energy guy.

00:26:14.000 In fact, he has some here's a good factoid about Spartan basketball.

00:26:20.000 They actually literally put on football pads when they do full court press drills because that's how physical Tom Izzo wants his players to play at Michigan State University.

00:26:31.000 Okay, cut 111.

00:26:33.000 You know, I think there is something to be said for people's concern about something that's being pressed so hard.

00:26:40.000 Like, why are you pressing this so hard?

00:26:44.000 You know, you say we live in Atlanta, the free.

00:26:46.000 Well, you're not giving anyone freedom because you're making people do something essentially without necessarily making them.

00:26:54.000 You're making them do something.

00:26:57.000 And that goes against everything that America stands for.

00:27:02.000 Amen.

00:27:04.000 I suppose there's a new kind of wise philosophical community of NBA players speaking out against vaccine mandates.

00:27:11.000 And what's amazing is how the media remains either ignoring or antagonistic towards every single one of these professional athletes that are speaking out against the vaccine being mandated, despite the fact I could list plenty of people that were fully vaccinated and then get the virus.

00:27:35.000 Brett Kavanaugh, just in the last 24 hours, had a breakthrough case of the Fauci virus despite being fully vaccinated.

00:27:45.000 And yet breaking this morning, it's a massive story.

00:27:48.000 What if I told you that there was a small molecule pill that could reduce hospitalizations and help people fight the Fauci virus?

00:27:57.000 Nope, not ivermectin, not hydroxychloroquine, not azithromycin, not melatonin, not vitamin D, not zinc.

00:28:05.000 All those things are wonderful, by the way.

00:28:07.000 Instead, as if nothing existed before, the pharmaceutical companies are now focusing on what we on this program and this podcast, and we haven't been alone, other programs and podcasts have said the same.

00:28:18.000 They're now saying, okay, well, since the vaccine is not doing what we thought it would, we need to focus on treatments.

00:28:23.000 Oh, what a concept.

00:28:25.000 Focusing on the treatment, not on the inoculation, since we now know that the vaccine does not prevent you from getting the virus.

00:28:40.000 Well, Merck now has a look-alike, a copy of ivermectin, zinc, vitamin D, all in one pill.

00:28:49.000 One of the largest pharmaceutical companies out there says that they now have a new pill that can cut the worst effects of COVID-19.

00:28:57.000 And people say, oh, finally.

00:28:59.000 Oh, so you're trying to now say that therapies and treatment should be the focus?

00:29:02.000 This should have been the focus from March of last year.

00:29:04.000 From March of last year, this whole focus on ventilators and inoculation and vaccines was always a profit-making scheme for a small collection of companies.

00:29:18.000 By the way, just so you know, Merck invented ivermectin.

00:29:22.000 So if Merck invented ivermectin, are they taking the patent from ivermectin and now implementing it into this new Merck daily pill?

00:29:33.000 Incredible.

00:29:35.000 We never have been able to talk about treatments until they realize that the vaccine is not doing what they said the vaccine would do, but they want to keep on making money so you can be dependent by taking the little pill they tell you to take.

00:29:46.000 Meanwhile, we've been talking about vitamin D, zinc, azithromycin, hydroxychloroquine, and ivermectin for months.

00:29:57.000 If you run a conservative or faith-based business or organizations that accept credit cards for donations, events, and merchandise, or anything, listen carefully.

00:30:57.000 Let them know I sent you. 1.00

00:31:01.000 Benjamin Franklin wrote, We have viewed the modern states all around Europe, but find none of their constitutions suitable to our circumstances.

00:31:09.000 We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings that, quote, except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain and build it.

00:31:16.000 The founders studied Israel under the judges, the Phoenician Islands, the democracy of Athens, the Doric city-states of Crete, the India city-states of Karu, of Haddadspur, republics of early Rome, Carthage of North Africa, Burma city-state of Paiu, Icelandic Commonwealth, the Russian city-states of Nova Gorod and Peskov, the Italian city-states, republics of Genoa, Genoa, I should say, Venice, Pisa, India's small republics, the Swiss cantons,

00:31:46.000 the three German cities, the Croatian city of Dubrovnik, the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands, the Batavian Republic, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the French city-state of Gauss, the English Commonwealth, and the Iroquois Confederacy.

00:32:00.000 Do you know what all of those nations had in common?

00:32:04.000 They all had in common that as times change, man does not.

00:32:09.000 The founding fathers built the structure, the system, the checks and balances on the natural law.

00:32:16.000 I want to get into this tape here as we monitor what's happening in Washington, D.C. Merck has just come out with their new Iver Merkden pill.

00:32:28.000 I want to go, remember when Bernie Sanders and the media used to be anti-pharmaceutical?

00:32:36.000 Remember when they used to have skepticism towards the medical industrial complex?

00:32:42.000 Play cut 112, Bernie Sanders, pharmaceutical industry is guilty of enormous amounts of fraud.

00:32:48.000 Meanwhile, go get vaccinated.

00:32:49.000 Cut 112.

00:32:50.000 Every single year, the major drug companies are ripping off the American people to the tune of billions of dollars a year because of fraudulent practices.

00:33:03.000 Virtually every major pharmaceutical company in this country has either been convicted of fraud, i.e., ripping off federal government, state government, or individuals, or else has reached a settlement.

00:33:21.000 How I learned to stop worrying and love the vaccine.

00:33:26.000 Cut 113, Anderson Cooper, Pfizer too big to nail, $2.3 billion fine.

00:33:32.000 Remember when the media used to hate the pharmaceutical companies?

00:33:36.000 But then the pharmaceutical companies got smart.

00:33:38.000 They started buying advertising on CNN.

00:33:40.000 They started buying advertising in the New York Times.

00:33:43.000 They started influencing journalists and public opinion.

00:33:48.000 Cut 113.

00:33:49.000 But I mean, you look at this thing, and I mean, if Pfizer is too big to fail, and even the biggest fine in history is just a few months' profit, then what's going to stop it from illegally promoting other drugs?

00:33:59.000 Critics say, Anderson, nothing.

00:34:01.000 Nothing.

00:34:02.000 They think that this is really, even though it's a big, big fine, you know, what, $2 billion?

00:34:06.000 They say, look, it is a cost of doing business.

00:34:09.000 And even the prosecutor, until and unless somebody goes to prison, somebody high up goes to prison, and or the company is banned from selling drugs to Medicare or Medicaid, this activity, like it has in the past with so many other companies, will continue.

00:34:25.000 And then finally, cut 114, Bill Maher rants against the pharmaceutical industry.

00:34:32.000 Now, every one of these guys are now saying, get vaccinated.

00:34:35.000 In fact, you now have Stephen Colbert dancing around like a crazy person with people in full syringe costume paraphernalia celebrating the vaccine.

00:34:48.000 Play cut 114.

00:34:50.000 New rule, if you believe you need to take all the pills the pharmaceutical industry says you do, then you're already on drugs.

00:34:58.000 Because you see, the government isn't your nanny.

00:35:01.000 They're your dealer.

00:35:03.000 And they subsidize illness in America.

00:35:06.000 They have to.

00:35:07.000 There's too much money in it.

00:35:09.000 You see, there's no money in healthy people, and there's no money in dead people.

00:35:12.000 The money is in the middle.

00:35:14.000 People who are alive, sort of.

00:35:16.000 Well, diet and exercise don't fail.

00:35:19.000 A fact brought home last week by a new Duke University study that showed exercise, yes, exercise, is just as effective a cure for depression as Paxil and Zoloft. 0.99

00:35:31.000 So ask your doctor if getting off your ass is right for you. 0.99

00:35:37.000 Back when comedians used to be funny and did not pander and shill for the pharmaceutical company. 1.00

00:35:43.000 So now that Merck says they have a new pill, I ask myself, what took you so long?

00:35:49.000 Treatments should have always been the focus.

00:35:52.000 Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, zinc, and vitamin C. Free your mind.

00:36:01.000 Ask yourself, are they making money on this?

00:36:04.000 Or are they trying to do the right thing with this?
