I've talked about how the fact that I'm politically marooned. And one of the things that really bothers me is when I started realizing that the way I was raised, you know, I hate saying, you know, Democrat, Republican, but one of the ideas that people are too stupid to govern themselves. You're just too stupid. Therefore, the government has to do everything for you. I used to be offended by this idea that, you know, it was like a sugar mom or a sugar daddy that was taking care of the planet. We're all like going to let the government do the work. But in the end, I'm starting to see it more like that.

And you see how they do look at us. I mean, look at how the government handled us during COVID. If you've seen the movie Idiocracy, it was. It's like waking up and thinking, am I surrounded? Certain they think we are just a pile of morons. Look at how they try to push out the vaccine. Look at this. The rule is very simple.

Get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do. Washington, D.C. locals had an extra incentive to get a COVID-19. vaccine on Tuesday. Activists staged a joints for jabs campaign giving anyone who'd been inoculated free weed. Nashville residents who are fully vaccinated now have a chance to enjoy a free beer or a cup of coffee. That's one of the many perks being offered to encourage people to get vaccinated. Did you say free fries when you get vaccinated? I got vaccinated. You're saying I could get this It's delicious fries. My man, but there's also a burger element to this.

The state of Utah is considering a sweepstake style cash giveaway to some lucky recipients of the COVID-19 vaccine. And it would be an unprecedented move in a state that prohibits lotteries and all forms of gambling. There is no amount of money that that is too much to help us get an extra 5 or 10 percent. of people vaccinated. We will announce the winner of a drawing of all those 17 year olds and under who have been vaccinated. And the winner, the winner,

will receive a full four-year scholarship to any one of our state universities. This will include tuition, room and board, and books. Today, thanks to our incredible partners here at Six Flags Great America, we offer Our latest summer fun award for getting vaccinated. The park is dedicating 50,000 free tickets to help encourage vaccinations in the region.

That's a $200 value. We're calling this one Vax and Visit. For every New Jersey who has at least their first shot by July 4th is that is eligible to receive a free season season, state parks, VACs pass, good for entrance at any one of our state parks for the rest of the 2020s season. We will announce a winner of a separate drawing for adults, adults who have received at least their first dose of the vaccine. And the winner each Wednesday will receive $1 million. It's vaccine or masked.

Get vaccinated. If you're just a little bit hesitant, or you just were unwilling in the past, but all of a sudden you think, wait a say, I can really use $50,000 and just get that vaccine. You've got to vax for the win because you're going to protect yourself, protect your communion. Guess what? You might have a chance of winning a great prize. If this is appealing to you, just think of this when you think of vaccination. Mm, vaccination. I'm getting a very good feeling about vaccination rate this moment.

Okay. Well, I guess I did sign a social contract anyway, and I can get some free fries. It didn't work. It was stupid. It was stupid. They were stupid. We're not stupid. And by the way, I'm not handing my life to any of those fools.

And there's a study that just came out. I believe it's out of Ohio. This is by the Journal of the American I can't read this. Board of Family Medicine. Financial incentives are associated with lower likelihood of COVID-19 vaccination in Northeast. Ohio. This is hysterical. They looked into it. And this is what they found out. The 471 participants surveyed 0.95% reported that the Ohio Vax, a million lottery, increased their vaccination likelihood, while nearly 30% reported that it decreased their likelihood. 6.8% of respondents

reported the $100 incentive increased their vaccination likelihood, while 17.4% reported it decreased their vaccination chances. That was the best they had. That's how they see us. We need to get some new people in office. We need leaders that see us as human beings, intelligent beings, capable of making good decisions, trusting those decisions. I heard they want to ban gas stoves now for all of you chefs out there. Trust me, I'm going to fight for that, too, because I like to cook,

and I'm not just letting that happen. But it's these types of things, put a label on it. You want to, like, go ahead and say, you know, we think this is dangerous or whatever it is. But stop mandating this stuff. Stop having lottery tickets and trying to coerce me into something. that hasn't been properly tested, only to see all the devastation that's left behind. We are fighting all of this stupidity, and we're fighting for real for the military. I want to announce there's a huge breakthrough just this week, the Pentagon now announcing officially.

I think after all the attacks from multiple law firms, not just Aaron Syrian Glimstad, they are now declaring that the mandate for the military is over. Pentagon drops the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for troops. So we should all say a hip-hip hooray. obviously the government realized they have lost this battle.
