Recorded live at Corolla 1 Studios with Adam Carolla and board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist, Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to The Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Yeah, got to get it on. Got to get it on. No choice, but to get it on. Rudy Povitch is sitting in for Dr. Drew, who's in Canada shooting one of those Fox Challenge reality shows. Ah, he's like jumping out of a Black Hawk helicopter this time. And he did that last time, right? Wasn't he doing the, you can't survive the army?

Wasn't that the big reality show he was doing? Yeah, he was doing, you know, world's most extreme, whatever. Yeah. Yeah, he's doing some kind of version of that with the same kind of version of people. As he explains to me, as I talked to him when he's in Canada. You know, same kind of fair to middling names. nice people. You get to hang out with them.

You get to do shit that you wouldn't normally get to do. Yeah, you and Tara Lipinski jumping out of the ocean together. That's awesome. Spotting but of Foucos. He repels down that zip line. That's right. Come on. Get happy.

All right. So let's see. So obviously there's the whole Trump thing, which is a few days old watching's correspondence meeting. and I was trying to figure out, I kept watching, I have a little ADD for clips and timing and stuff. And I haven't heard anyone bring it up, but Oz Perlman was revealing, I think, his illusion as the shots were fired, which hadn't really hurt. So you have a woman who spoke earlier who appears to be. an Asian woman of some descent who is a speaker, conservative or something, because I saw her

at the beginning up and giving comments. So she's sitting next to Trump, Oz or O's Perlman is revealing what's on the card, you know, write something down and then put it in my pocket and don't let me see it. And then he's like doing the reveal. and I can tell it's the reveal because the woman of Asian descent is looking right at it going, oh my God, like she's reacting like someone pulled a rabbit out of the hat. Clutching her Perlman's, if you will. That's right.

She's excited. Then you got Melania and Trump, and especially Melania, looking forward and not reacting to Oz Perlman, all at the same time. So that it literally means the guy squeezed the trigger during the reveal. At the same time, the Asian lady is Ouija, ba, ba, ba, jing, and bah, okay. Sorry, Chinese people. Can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it.

I can do it. All right. So I don't know. Is there footage of this? Can we figure this? Is it literally the split second? because it is so

she puts her you got to go forward just about 10 seconds to kind of get into it a second here but she goes oh my God it's like

Melania doesn't even react to what's on the card yeah right she's so engrossed with what's happening in the crowd because there's like a commotion going on okay stop me if I'm wrong

is that less than a second and by the second And by the way, when people go, come on, less than a second, you watch a car race, you watch an F1 race or something and there's a finish and the one guy finishes a second behind. He's 150 feet behind. Sure. A lot gets done in a second. The difference in the NFL between running a 4-340 and 534,000, and 534.

is the difference between you being in the league and you being on a sofa. Yeah. I mean, if you run a 5.340, you are an offensive tackle and you're over 300 pounds and you're over 6'6. And by the way, they don't like that time even with your size. Yeah. So like one second is a while. She puts her hand over her mouth and like it literally happens simultaneously that the shots go off as a real. which is basically it's like when you're up on stage at a club, you know,

and you go, you're building, building, building, and right at the punch you hear the blender fire up behind the bar. Somebody drops a tray drinks. Like that is weird that he didn't get his reveal. Yeah, it wasn't at the. Now, I don't know how long he'd been building into that, but his bits are like they take some setup. You've got to think of something.

You're going to write something down. Don't show me what you wrote down. Then burn the piece of paper. And then I'm going to pull the paper out. And poor eyes. Like he literally didn't get. All he needed literally was five seconds of satisfaction. Just the Trump nodding his head going, you're a warlock.

That's crazy. Yeah. He needed literally, he didn't need two minutes. He needed eight seconds. Eight seconds of appreciation. When he was on the floor with Trump and they were staring at each other, do you think he whispered, was it your phone number on the piece of paper? Was it?

It had to have been. Fuck. Well, there's got to be volume somewhere, right? Is there sound? Oh, of him, yeah. He's got to. And Melania's not even looking at him. She's looking at the reaction of the woman next to her.

Right. But he's got to be saying something. Like, is this your... Yeah, I'm surprised. the interview that I watched with him, I'm surprised he didn't reveal what that trick was. Like, he just basically, all he talked about was the trick and the reveal. He never said, I was trying to get the president's luggage code or something like that. Yeah.

The nuclear football code. Yeah, he, and he looks up. So he did got. He looks so unimpressed by whatever Oz just did. He's like, yeah, great, whatever. Trump is hearing. it now, I think, and then looking forward. Yeah, Trump is...

He's still got his head cock to the side. Yeah. Well, that's who he is. Yeah. He's got a nice light wire. He's got a nice detuned wiring, which is good. Absolutely. When a bullet zips past your ear and your first instinct is to stand up and raise your hand.

Yeah. Like right over here. Yeah. So that timing was incredible. incredible because it was in three-tenths of a second. Yeah. Which is sad. Simultane.

And look at the look on his face, too. Like, you know, you can, it's so insane when you see actual fear on the look of, like, people's faces. And that is the look of fear that Melania has. Mm-hmm. Oh, that is, it's hard to watch. Yeah. All right.

So, uh, that happened. Um, then, uh, you wonder why this is happening, which is such a, there's such a weird, um, it's a lot. of disconnect in terms of reality in this country, which is nobody is claiming that people on the left are asking an assassin to shoot Donald Trump. The claim is, is you're calling him Hitlerian dangerous and he's going to destroy our country, which is de facto you asking someone to kill him because that's what you would need to do. if someone's going to destroy your country. Yeah, and glorious bastards did a whole movie about this, you know?

Yes. So I don't know why they're always like acting surprised. Like, I don't know what you're talking about because it's like you're calling him a fascist dictator that is destroying this country. And by the way, who's evil. So that then would make patriotic people would then pick up arms and do the patriotic thing. that's that's what people do they made a tom cruise movie called valchary

and someone was trying to blow up adolf hitler because that's what you would do if the guy was going to destroy the world but i will play a little a clip of it i don't know why your own tim walls to me is the most impressive of all the doofuses because they're they're like this weird thing where they're like

he's a all right we'll just play the clip and then we'll have a laugh. Let me ask you tonight, do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? Yes, I do. This is what kicking the shit out of fascism looks like. That's all well. Yeah. Try to prevent the spread of the lawlessness and the fascist chaos that's been unleashed against us.

So when we say Donald Trump is a fascist, fascism, a huge component of fascism, is uniting racism, bigotry, a form of racist nationalism. Nationalism. Ah, you're now living with a fascist. That's weird. They hate fascist dictators, but they like socialism, which is kind of like saying, I fucking hate oranges, but I love those little cutie neck, those little tangerines. Like you go, I thought you hate, yeah, no, they're orange, but they're smaller. But they kind of taste the same.

Like, you like some version, like socialism. is a lot closer to this than free market systems are, which is weird. So, I mean, fascist, I mean, I don't know, we should look up fascists and socialist, but they're kind of, you know, dark chocolate and milk chocolate. Like, it's kind of chocolate at the end of the day. They're not so far apart. Yeah, your body breaks it down the same exact way, yeah. Fascism and socialism hit your liver about the same way.

All right, sorry. We'll keep playing it. Against us. So when we say Donald Trump is a fascist, fascism, a huge component of fascism, is uniting racism, bigotry, a form of racist nationalism. We are now living in a fascist dictatorship.

We are worried about potential. Hold on. Where I get to get super fat and talk shit about the fascist dictator, all I want, all day. And then I go eat some more. and then I go on another show. Ah, man, is she running serpentine to the mailbox? Like, do these people understand how fascism is supposed to work?

We don't let fat dudes of color go on nine talk shows and talk about it before they get put in a gulag. Yeah. When I first saw that, I thought that was Keenan Thompson doing an S&L sketch of a guy who was on the breakfast club. It looks so ridiculous. What if Einstein was morbidly obese and black? I think it would go a little something like this. He equals MC fascism. All right.

This is, we are now living in a fascist dictatorship. We are worried about potential rise of fascism in this country. We're worried about our democracy falling to an authoritarian and potentially fascist form of government. Not only to roll over to Donald Trump's will, but to roll over our democracy and allow him to take over this country. as a fascist dictator. When fascism isn't just coming, it's already here. The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Millie said, no one has ever been more dangerous to this country than Donald Trump,

and he is a fascist to his core. Okay. Now, here's my thing about Trump, because I did Celebrity Apprentice, I did the marriage rep. I've done shows with him. Guys who usually build commercial buildings and man, aren't normally of the fascist variety. Is it that he turned fascist on like his 73rd birthday?

Like when did he become fascist? Because it seemed like he was interested in accumulating wealth and nailing euro trash. Like that kind of felt like what he was doing. But now he's a, according to your guy, Tim Walz, he's fascist to his core. Like he was always that way. Well, as AOC pointed out, he finally got racism, bigotry, and nationalism on the same group text. And then it all united together. And now he is a fascist.

Right. Now, I never get. Oh, by the way, what's the definition of both? Because I feel like they are much closer together than the free market is to either one of either one of them. When you're ready, you can tell me. You don't have to, you don't have to tell me now. Well, socialist is the word the left used to unite the left, and fascism is the word they use to get the left angry at the right. Right.

Also, the guy who is attempting to get a smaller government and deregulate things, I don't get why that falls under the heading of fascism. Like, here's fascism. That urinal that's in your, we'll look it up in a minute. that urinal that you used earlier today that has a sink above it. I tried to order that off Amazon to come to California so I could install it. They're not allowed to ship to California for some regulatory thing. It had to ship to Nevada and then we had to pick it up. My kids' school got closed down, the parks got closed down, the beaches got closed down.

They were trying to force a vaccination on everybody. they basically were trying to come up with travel papers. Essentially had to show a vaccination card to get into restaurants and to work for the government or anyone had more 100 employees. You have your land burnt to the ground and you'd like to begin clearing your land, but they won't let you back onto your land. That to me is fascism.

Closing the borders, not fascist. tariffs or trying to get rid of Iran's nuclear aspirations. I don't call that fascism. All right. So we have the actual whatever. Fascism is an extreme right-wing authoritarian and under, ultra-nationalist. Political ideology, characterized by a dictator, leader, centralized autocracy, military. military...

Yeah, militarism. Militarism and a forcible suppression of opponents, prioritizing the state above individual rights. That's basically what I'm saying. That's crazy that they have extreme right-wing. This is Google putting this out. Shouldn't it just be an extreme political stance or a position? Why would you have to say right-wing?

It's their own. Socialism is a political economic theory advocating that the community or the government rather than individuals should own and control the means of production. Right. But when the government controls everything, that's when we take the slide off into the abyss. But they're both saying government over individuals. Yeah. What's crazy.

If you had somebody who would never know anything about what is going on either side and you gave them both of those definitions, you go, which one would you choose? And they would go socialism for sure. Okay, so over everything else? Yeah, socialism, way better than fascism. Okay, well, the side that is the socialist side is the one that's doing all of the harboring and putting restrictions on people. Yes, and you need a fascist, otherwise the socialist is not going to work. Because at some point, people don't want the government to take their farm, and then we need the military.

Sure. And then it turns into fascism. All right, so anyway, Trump did not do this in his first five years. or he didn't do it in his first four years, but now he's doing it in his second term, I guess. Is that what we're dealing with? He was hanging out of the fascist card until get, you know, eight years into his presidency.

All right, we'll take a quick break. We'll be right back after this. Hey, this is Adam Carolla from the Adam Carolla show. Prediction markets talk outcomes.

Don't guess with the crowd. Bet with the book that's been doing it right for years. Bet Online. The game starts here. Pluto TV has thousands of free movies and TV shows. We're coming at you with everything we got. This is the mindset. Free.

This is the mantra. Free. This is the... It's movies like Pineapple Express, the entire Star Trek film franchise and Gladiator, and TV shows like Survivor, Spongebob SquarePants, the fairly odd parents and ghosts, Pluto TV is always free.

Hizom. Pluto TV, stream now. Pay never. All right. So I don't know, Rudy, what? I'm rarely confused. I'm mostly know what's happening with humans, but I'm confused about a lot of humans. I get what the politicians are doing.

I think they're just like when Kamala. Paula Harris, you know, when she's doing her town hall with CNN and they go, do you think Donald Trump's a fascist? She just goes, yes, I do. But she doesn't. No. She doesn't believe anything. She doesn't believe anything. By the way, if she really thought that, she put on a TNT vest underneath her leisure suit, walk out on that stage, shake his hand and pull the pinch.

Sure. I mean, that would be the patriotic thing to do. Instead, she's going to write a book and go on a tour and have some fun. by the way, and then somebody like Jimmy Carter's going to die and they're all going to hang out and hobnop. Have Obama talking hoop and MMA. Obama should put on like an explosive underpants and gone and taken out the first row, right? I mean, if they really believed it, yes. Right.

But they don't. Okay. So they don't believe it, which I have been saying for a million years. You know, when Chuck Schumer, whatever, whatever, Jim Crow 2.0 or whatever, whatever, they don't, he doesn't believe any of it. The reason, you know, they don't believe any of it is because they just go right on to the next thing. Like they go, oh, January 6th, the greatest attempt, you know, at insurite. And they, all right, what are we talking about now?

Oh, something about race. Oh, no, no, we're on to billionaires now. What about race? No, no. No, we're on to the LGBT. Oh, yeah. No, okay. So we're talking about money?

No, no. We're on to the trans. Oh, okay, we're going to give, what should I be outraged about now? Trans community. Okay, that's what we're talking about. They never circle back in try to fix anything. Gavin Newsom's very upset that black and brown people don't have access to checking accounts. That's 13 years ago.

I don't, where's the legislation? Where's the checking a B of A mobile that you're driving into the inner city? Like what's going on? The answer's nothing. You don't give a fuck. You have no real concern about that. They don't. So Tim Walls.

and you know you got nancy pelosi 85 years old you got uh maxine waters 86 who may believe it because she's addled and she's fucking dumb but then you got guys like chuck schumer i mean these guys were at these guys weddings yeah you know what i mean they went to their daughter's weddings 15 years ago or whatever it is they don't think that they don't think it they just say it but young dude who listens to them gets a gun and does believe it. So the thing is, is like, this is all just kabuki theater for them, but they're poisoning young dudes who are believing them

and then acting out on it, and then they go, I never told anyone to shoot anybody. Yes, you did. You poison that guy's brain. Yeah. That's what happened. All right. So, but the ones I can't figure out are the ones that are like,

older. And I never thought this was going to be a thing. Like old people were wise. They were sagely that came down from the mountain with wisdom. Oh, sure. You know what I mean? Like the village elder. You'd seek out his advice because he was over 65, right? I see a lot of people going full whack-a-doodle in their 70s, 80s. Oh, yeah. I mean, look no further than Minnesota itself. I've told many people, especially my daughter, I said, hey, listen, at some point, somebody in our family who is well into their 70s is going to try to give you advice, don't listen to anything they have to say. They've all lost their minds, especially like on the women's side of my family as they've all gotten older.

Yeah, well, as we always say, I'm going to say we, I mean me, men get nicer, women get crazier. That's the trajectory. Go to any high school reunion and you will see. Yeah. All right, so Molly Ringwald, who I met when she was 11, trying to think. Molly Ringwald must be 55. Let's see, 56. 55, 56, let's see.

I just had this thought. Dudes, when they get a little bit older, they go through a midlife crisis, they get a Mustang, a red Mustang. Ladies, when they have a midlife crisis, get a red hairdo. They go through and diet and they get the extra earrings. 58. Sorry. Older and I thought.

Andrew has to write ringwall. You can't just write Molly. 58. Well, we had to make sure you knew what Molly were talking about. Molly Hemingway, the Fox contributor. Yeah, it could have been your old dog. We don't know. We don't know.

We don't know. I'm sorry. I'm so specific. Yeah. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Chuck didn't even remember that campaign. There was a whole like hair campaign. with a hot chick going, don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

But that's a good gig to get commercial-wise. Yeah, I mean, like, what is your commercial? What is it? Hemorrhoid cream? No, no. Mine's about hating me because I'm so aesthetically stunning. In your adult diapers? No, no?

Okay. All right. Just want to make sure. So let's see. Molly's 58. I met Molly when she was probably 11, maybe 12. maybe she was 12. 11 her.

Yeah, 11. She lived down the street for me with their family. She was at the political rally talking about fascism back in the 70s. Now, I don't know what goes on at 58, but also the other part that's crazy to me is you live in this country.

Nothing is happening to anybody. But here's her latest offering. I don't spend a lot of time doing this, talking to you like this unless I'm, I don't know. a jewel thing? Recommending a foundation or telling you to get your kids vaccinated against meningitis. But I feel like I can't stay silent and neither should you.

There's something horrible, horrible going on in our country right now. And we have one of the greatest countries had, one of the greatest countries in the world. and I've always been so proud to be an American. But right now, this is a fascist government. It's not becoming a fascist government. It is a fascist government. All right. Hold on a second. What is more for them?

Like, what's more whack-a-doodle? Their hatred for Trump, and I know you're going, well, what could be worse than that? They hate RFK Jr. And his whole thing is like, I don't want kids to get vaccinated who don't need the vaccinations because autism's gone up about

20,000% the last 25 years. And I'd like to get the dyes out of the Cheetos and I would like to start making school lunches healthier. And then they've gone full, nut job, banshee attack on him. And it was all the stuff that they wanted eight and a half years ago where they were like, let's get the chemicals out, let's get these kids healthy,

how do we bring down the childhood obesity epidemic? Well, there's a guy in office you can help take care that, but he's not on the side that you want him to be on. Right. And we hate big pharma. By the way, I will be a one-upper. I'll bring you back 50 years. My mom was talking about red dye number seven and getting it out of stuff and all the big pharmaceutical companies and how the junk food industry. And there was a lot of that talk back then. This guy who made his bones like suing Monsanto for poisoning the river where the indigenous people live is now target number one. Were you guys like, I, Trump is big and he's blustery and he comes out there and he starts demeaning folks from CNN and going, because it's from China and stuff like that.

Like I get it. I get it. He kind of bates them. R.K. Jr. is doing pushups and jeans. We're in kids talking about eating clean. You know what I mean? And being strong and healthy. What?

In a weird way, the RFK Jr. attack is even wackier than the Trump. Trump is kind of low-hanging fruit. Yeah. They look at him and go, look at this weirdo guy, like you said, working out in the jeans. But you think you are just as healthy, the people that are vegans and want to eat tofu and eat all this nonsense. It was like some of us look at you and go, you live an insane lifestyle. Why would you put that in your body? Yes.

And listen, the backs for COVID turned out to be bad and injure people. And we'll play. I'll play a clip for that later. And all these Amish kids who do not get the scheduled vaccines also don't get all the syndromes that we all have now. So you explain it to me. But that's all that guy is trying to do. It's a weird one to attack. All right, let's hear what Molly has to say.

The greatest countries in the world, and I've always been so proud to be an American. But right now, this is a fascist government. It's not becoming a fascist government. It is a fascist government. And ICE is brutalizing people. And I don't care how you identify if you're a Democrat, if you're a Republican, if you're independent, if you don't like to be political at all, it doesn't matter. You have to look at what kind of country you want to live in.

And I don't think that I need to remind you, you know, just give a little history lesson here quick. But, you know, if you look at what happened. ICE brutalizing people. Are they brutalizing the nut jobs who fight them? or are they brutalizing the people they're trying to collect and deport? Trying to think who the number one is. Yeah. The person that they are going after is never the one that makes the news.

Unfortunately, it's always the person in the street that's, you know, throwing Molotov cocktails at them. Right. All right. So they're brutalizing people. All right. Sorry, guys. Don't think that I need to remind you, you know, just give a little history lesson here quick. But, you know, if you look at it.

What happened in France where I lived for, for, you know, a few years in my 20s, you know, they were taken over by the Nazis. They were invaded. They were taking over. And a lot of people, a lot of people collaborated. And then there were people that did not collaborate and were part of the resistance. Eventually, they got their country back. and those people who collaborated were found to be criminal. And that is what's going to happen.

I mean, you should not support what is going on just because these are human beings and we are human beings and we cannot forget our humanity. But if you don't care about that, if you only care about yourself, then realize that you are going to be seen as a collaborationist. Oh, hold on a second. Looking out for number one. I don't think that makes me a Nazi war criminal. We got to go to Argentina, Rudy.

Yeah. I tend to think about myself more than others. So I don't know if I made that list or not. So does everybody else. And I would imagine so does Molly. Maybe that's why she films herself. Could be it. All roads lead to narcissism.

That's what it is. I always love the move where they go, we live in one, well, we lived in one of the greatest countries. We had a great, we have a, oh no, we had it. Don't, listen, it isn't or it isn't. It's good. That's, it's in a bad place. All right, we'll play it out, sir.

Barationist. Okay. And I don't think that anybody wants that. I don't think that anybody wants to be on the wrong side of history. So please, please, use your. voice. All right, hold on a second. I wonder where she was at with COVID. Was she at no mask? They're not effective. This fax could be dangerous for kids. It's experimental and open the schools. Because that's the wrong side of history. Every single one of these people was on the wrong side of

history when it came to locking kids in their home and giving them eating and mental disorder. So how can you get 10 minutes from COVID and then be lectured to about what side of history we should be on? And by the way, it's always, we don't know anything. It's like, okay, then you don't have to do Nazi-like enforcement for stuff you don't know about it. You can be agnostic about it. That's always, I can always tell the lie. The person is not lying is when you go, Ivermectin, does it work? They go, I don't know, I'm not a doctor.

But when they know it doesn't work, horse-based. Well, when they know it doesn't work now, we're getting in the lie part. But all right, we'll play this out. You know, these are children. These are children who are being taken away from their parents. These are mothers who are being killed. These are fathers. These are, these are ICU nurses.

These are people that are good people. Oh. That now their families have to grieve them for doing nothing except for standing up what's right. for what's right, for keeping, for keeping women from being brutalized. I pause it for a second. Another thing that's always funny, they can whip out the names of the two people that were killed in Minnesota. Every politician can't.

There's hundreds of people killed by illegals. You can't come up with one name because they never use them and they don't care. And I'm guessing there's no Molly Ringwald video about innocent people being stabbed on trains or folks that have been killed while jogging in parks by illegals. I'm guessing there's no outrage video. Probably not a list on her nightstand next to that California King that she's making this video on out of her probably sweet-ass home that is 14,000 square feet. All right.

Sorry, we'll play it out now. For doing nothing except for standing up what's right for what's right. for keeping for keeping women from being brutalized by these monsters and they are monsters they are human beings

as well but they have forgotten that they're human beings and they have become monsters please don't let yourself are we talking about all ice agents or people voted for Trump or who's the monster part yeah the people that support

you know no mass mandates or Those are the people that have forgotten who they are? Yeah. Ice agents are monsters. Okay. How about most of those guys per capita are married with kids? Yeah. Higher than your average stand-up comedian, let's say, statistically.

Oh, for sure. Also, when they were talking about these ice agents at the airport and how they're standing around, they're doing nothing. All CNN did was talk about how big of a nuisance this was, simultaneously playing video of them being helpful and taking people's bags and helping them get them into bins. it was like, don't play the video of the thing that is contradicting what you are trying to push. All right. Well, play it out.

Become like that. Please remember your humanity. Think about your kids. Think about your grandkids. Think about your sister and your brother. These are all people who have kids or fathers or mothers or aunts and uncles. or aunts and uncles and people who love them. And we all have people that love us.

And we love people. All right. I mean, I hope that we love people. I certainly do. Please do the right thing. I know. I think about myself. And use your voice.

All right. Yeah, use our voice. All right. Listen, we're talking about removing people that are in this country legally. Like, Molly, when you went to France, did you get just set up camp? I mean, you just move there and. and start selling hot dogs on the street, and that was fine. And you would be outraged if somebody said you were on a temporary visa or you weren't a permanent resident.

I imagine there's a process. You can't just move to France. And, well, probably now you can. You couldn't 30 years ago when she did it and just start hanging out. All right. We'll take a quick break. Be right back after this. Home serve.

All right. So we were talking about it's kind of an interesting thing. I was, yeah, I think there was a tweet by a Fox contributor name, and I'll try to get the name down. Will Ricker, Rickie or Delhi. Ricky Rodella, uh, it puts out a lot of smart tweets, but the one that sort of caught my eye,

you know what I do, Rudy? Mm-hmm. I, I, uh, I cruise the internet. I find people say basically the same shit. I say,

and I go, this guy's a genius. And why do they have 13 times more people following them than I do? God damn it. I'm the genius. Um, so he read, um,

all right, so I'll read. it to you. The White House correspondence. Alleged shooter wasn't some nut job lurking on the fringes of society, forgotten by the system. It was a well-educated, credentialed, employed, and institutionally formed, and institutionally formed. That's what makes this so disturbing. At first glance, this doesn't look like a breakdown of the system. It looks more like the product of it. That's what I'm saying.

Academia, media, and politics have helped build the moral permission structure. So this is not fringe anymore. This is how people think because they've been hit over the head with it with media. constantly and all the dumb shit politicians who, you know, are lying but don't know it. I don't know, you know, the Molly Ringwalls of the world fall into kind of a middle ground of useful idiot. Like I believe she's sincere. You know, there's just a lot of dopes, especially in Hollywood that just easily corruptible

and they go on to one thing and then the next thing. But the politicians know what's going on. Sure. They're just fighting. Yeah. And when you say that kids, you know, their opinions are not formed at a young age and media doesn't have anything to do with it, look no further than TikTok. And why China said basically all of the content that these kids are going to ingest, it's all going to be stem related, it's going to be math related. And they push out all the garbage to the American kids.

And when Trump wanted to take care of that and wanted to get rid of it, they all went, it's because he's mean. Right. He's a meanie. No, he's not. He's smart. And he's trying to do exactly what China's doing. and that is bring up a good younger population, a farm team of good kids. Yeah, they're poisoning kids with their insane rhetoric.

And I think they think that they're going to be hailed as a hero, as you would be hailed as a hero if you took Hitler out. Yeah. So that's kind of where we're going. All right. I have another clip I want to, I want you to find, which I enjoy. as well. I'm speaking to Andrew. I think there's a Kennedy one, but there's also a Johnson one talking about all-cause mortality

and vaccines. Listen, listen, all you who hate JFK Jr. This vaccine thing is a shit show. Anybody got vaccinated should pray they didn't get vaccinated. They all wish, there's nobody. Let's I'll put to you this way. I don't know anyone who's happy that got vaccinated if they got vaccinated. Now, maybe hindsight, maybe it wouldn't be alive. But this is kind of an interesting stat. I think it was in that hearing. He had a chart that he showed from the Commonwealth Fund saying that the VAIRs,

the COVID injection saved three million lives in 2021 and 2022. Now, bear with me. It's relatively simple numbers, but you have to, hang with me on this in 2019 before the pandemic there were 2.85 million deaths in america so under three million right so the year of the pandemic by the way if that were to grow just kind of you know that number of deaths have been growing slowly because of population increase and also aging the population to the point where last year should have been around three million deaths okay it was slowly growing you know last year should have been about three million so 2019 2.85 million the year

it shot up to 3.4. Obviously, something was happening here, okay? Another half a million deaths. 2012 was the year of the vaccine, right? If it really was going to end the pandemic, you would think we'd come down back, you'd start moving toward the baseline. Toward that normalized baseline, you know.

We didn't. We went up to 3.5 million. The next year we came down a little bit to 3.3, but we're still way above that, the normalized rate of deaths. Okay, so again, 2.85 to 3.5 to 3.5. to 3.5 to 3.3. So they were claiming in this Commonwealth Fund study that the vaccine saved 3 million lives in both 2021 and 2022. So again, deaths were going up. It's way above

the baseline. In order to have that to be true, you'd have to assume we were going to have 5 million deaths per year in both 2021, 2021, it's just it's farcical. I mean, again, I don't need of empirical basing, you know, sophisticated mathematical analysis to just show there's no way the injection saved 3 million lives in 2021 and 20. There's no way. There's no way. If you were old and vulnerable, the vaccine might have given you some protection where you didn't have a severe, so that's possible. I just don't know. There really have not been decent studies to prove that. You'll never have decent studies to prove that. But just the basic math disproves three million lives saved from the injection in the U.S. in 2021-22.

It's farcical. By the way, sometimes I play a fun game with myself. I imagine hearing this out of like Maxine Waters or Kamala Harris or AOC or the purple-haired old witch who's always yelling about raw milk or something. And I go, this is my problem with them. Like people go, will you disagree with them or they disagree with them? or they disagree with you. If they spoke in terms of numbers, statistics, and actual problems, I would be more,

I would tend to listen to them more. I just hear them yelling about shit and talking in a fake black voice. I never hear any, like, let's figure it out. I never hear any that kind of talk. Yeah, and anytime you do, oh, those numbers are wrong. You know, I've said, I've told you many times I've had this conversation. It still kills me that my friend Ricky is not here today. and I truly believe it was because of the vaccines and the boosters.

And every time I bring this up to anybody in our circle, they shoot it down immediately. And I was like, well, he was a healthy guy who lived off the land in Wisconsin, him and his wife. They drank a little bit. They smoked a little bit of weed. And then all of a sudden one day his heart just stops. Well, what was the big difference between 2019 and 2021? He got himself filled with a bunch of vaccines. How old was he?

He was about the same age as me. So probably he was 43. when he passed. Wow. So, and just, and I said that I would definitely give the benefit of the doubt when the autopsy came back, unless it came back inconclusive. And it came back inconclusive. And I went, can anybody in our circle please, for the life of me, at least attempt to

maybe consider it was the vaccines. And they also, no. There were two major sort of fundamental logic flaws with COVID that people should have been able to digest, but they can't anymore because nobody lives on a farm. They're all sort of in the city and cubicles and they're all on meds and serotonin re-uptake inhibitors and energy drinks and gummies, edibles, and everyone's fucking brain. It's right. Like they can't do an A, B, or C.

There's two simple truths that would have benefited everyone. one is there's nothing you could have done to not get COVID. Everyone was acting like a paper mask or don't ride mass transit or wash your hands or if you get equipment delivered to your house. Stern, I think, got delivered a bunch of radio equipment and quarantined it for like two weeks. You don't need to quarantine. Probably and then actually physically quarantined a box filled with. Styrofo. Right. In a transmitter. So all of the stuff that people did, and they still got it. And some people were like, I know where I got it. I went to that Tony, Tony, Tony concert. Other people were like, I did everything right. I'd never left the house. I always wore a mask. I didn't do anything. I wiped everything down. And I got it. I remember Bean from Kevin and Bean was explaining to me that he did everything. And Bean is kind of,

I don't know, germaphobe, eccentric, but he's a guy that wouldn't have gone to a concert and gotten a mosh pit during COVID. He did everything right and he got it. So the people that were doing everything right were getting it. That's number one, which means not avoidable for you. So a simple lesson is you masked up, you paroled down, you socially isolated.

And you did everything and you got it. And there's 30 million of those stories about you doing everything right, which now the message is you're going to get it or you're not going to get it. That's the message. So go about your fucking life. Yeah. That's number one. Number two is if you don't need the VACs, you shouldn't have got the VACs.

It was pretty plainly simple early that young, healthy folk did not need the VACs. So with those two pieces of information, you should have sailed through COVID. But they weren't going to do that. They weren't going to let you do it. They were going to lock down the schools and lock down the beaches and then make sure you had a vax to get into restaurants and to go to airports and to travel. So they, all of them who are now calling Trump a dictator were the ones who wanted you fired from your job as a fireman, if you were 30 and healthy and did not see getting experimental vaccination. It felt so powerful over you when they finally made you get that vaccine.

You know, I was watching the Minnesota Wild playoff hockey game the other day. They cut to a guy in the crowd who was wearing a wild jersey, but he also had a mask on. And you know, Molly Ringwald said about humanity. Golly mask from the 70s with like a cobra on it. Yeah, but he had an actual like N95 over the goalie mask. Yes, so yeah. But he was wearing a mask, like a face mask, N95, and I thought, that's, the humanity is the crowd doesn't look at that guy and go, dip shit, take it off. It doesn't work.

If it was the other way around it, it was a crowd filled with people in those masks and one guy walked in without that mask on, they would have tossed his ass right out of the arena. I didn't want professional tennis players participating in the U.S. Open, which is, that's the height. Okay, just admit you were wrong, everyone. Just admit you're wrong. All right, Friday, Saturday. 8th and 9th, Las Vegas over Kimmel's. Maybe Rudy does one of those shows. Covina Laugh Factory, live podcast.
