PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS IS ONLY

ON THE TICKET BECAUSE SHE IS A

22
00:00:54,921 --> 00:00:59,259
BLACK WOMAN?

23
00:00:59,259 --> 00:00:59,859
I CAN SAY NO, I THINK IT'S

24
00:00:59,859 --> 00:01:00,860
MAYBE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

25
00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:01,628
SHE WAS ALWAYS OF INDIAN

00:01:01,628 --> 00:01:03,063

00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:03,730
PROMOTING INDIAN HERITAGE.

28
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:05,165
I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS BLACK

29
00:01:05,165 --> 00:01:08,268
UNTIL A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO WHEN

30
00:01:08,268 --> 00:01:08,835
SHE HAPPENED TO TURN BLACK.

31
00:01:08,835 --> 00:01:12,072

33
00:01:12,505 --> 00:01:12,872
SO I DON'T KNOW.

37
00:01:16,843 --> 00:01:21,314

ALTHOUGH, YOU KNOW WHAT?

60
00:01:51,444 --> 00:01:52,479

THEY'VE BEEN GOING ON ALL WEEK,

68
00:02:05,458 --> 00:02:06,026

74

HE PREPARED HIMSELF FOR WHAT

84
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,082

89
00:02:38,591 --> 00:02:39,325

90
00:02:39,325 --> 00:02:39,893
UP TO THESE GAMES, LIKE NOT

92
00:02:40,527 --> 00:02:43,930
GO TO THE BATHROOM.

93

NOW, I SHOULD SAY-- RIDER'S

98

100

ALTHOUGH ONE ELEMENT OF THE

140

GATHERED AT A TABLE.

142
00:03:56,369 --> 00:03:57,804
IT WAS MEANT TO EVOKE PAGAN

143
00:03:57,804 --> 00:03:59,572
FEASTS, BUT SOME SAW SOMETHING

144
00:03:59,572 --> 00:04:01,574
ELSE IN IT, AND WERE FURIOUS.

145
00:04:01,574 --> 00:04:02,709
I THOUGHT THAT THE OPENING

146
00:04:02,709 --> 00:04:03,543

147
00:04:03,543 --> 00:04:06,946
ACTUALLY.

157
00:04:17,557 --> 00:04:19,459

158
00:04:19,459 --> 00:04:20,260

STRANGE TO WATCH TRUMP ACT LIKE

161
00:04:22,028 --> 00:04:23,329

162
00:04:23,329 --> 00:04:24,264
TO ECHO SOMETHING I HEARD

163

164
00:04:25,899 --> 00:04:27,033

HAPPENED TO TURN CHRISTIAN...

ALL OF A SUDDEN HE MADE A TURN

168
00:04:31,671 --> 00:04:34,374

00:05:21,688 --> 00:05:23,056
"THERE ARE STILL TRACES OF THE

190
00:05:23,056 --> 00:05:24,024
PAST."

191
00:05:24,024 --> 00:05:24,624
[SPEAKING IN A FRENCH ACCENT]

192
00:05:24,624 --> 00:05:26,326
"LOOK, WE ARE ALL ZE PRODUCT OF

193
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:28,561
OUR CHOICES, OUR DECISIONS.

194
00:05:28,561 --> 00:05:29,362
WE ARE ZE SUM OF WHAT CAME

195
00:05:29,362 --> 00:05:30,930
BEFORE.

196
00:05:30,930 --> 00:05:33,900
ZE PAST, SHE DOES NOT WASH OUT,

197
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:34,834
NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU, HOW YOU

198
00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:38,171
SAY, SCRUB-A-DUB."

199
00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:39,606
AND LOOK, THERE'LL CLEARLY BE

200
00:05:39,606 --> 00:05:40,840
MORE TO SAY ABOUT THE OLYMPICS

201
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,208
AS THEY GO ON, BUT WE'RE GOING

202
00:05:42,208 --> 00:05:42,776
TO DIVE STRAIGHT IN WITH OUR

203
00:05:42,776 --> 00:05:43,343
MAIN STORY TONIGHT: THE 2024

204
00:05:43,343 --> 00:05:44,611
ELECTION.

205
00:05:44,611 --> 00:05:45,779
IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE LAST

206
00:05:45,779 --> 00:05:47,480
STORIES YOU WANT US TO COVER

207
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,049
RIGHT NOW, BELOW HIPPO

208
00:05:49,049 --> 00:05:49,616
HEMORRHOIDS, BUT ABOVE "YOUR

209
00:05:49,616 --> 00:05:51,418
PARENTS' SEX LIFE."

210
00:05:51,418 --> 00:05:52,619
LONG STORY SHORT: THEY TRIED

211
00:05:52,619 --> 00:05:53,720
WHEELBARROW, THAT'S HOW YOUR DAD

212
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,256
HURT HIS HIP.

213
00:05:56,256 --> 00:05:57,257
THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF TALK

214
00:05:57,257 --> 00:06:00,193
ABOUT THESE TWO CANDIDATES, BUT

215
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:01,461
WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON THE

216
00:06:01,461 --> 00:06:02,962
PERSON CURRENTLY POLLING THIRD:

217
00:06:02,962 --> 00:06:03,963
ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.

218
00:06:03,963 --> 00:06:04,698
VOTERS HAVE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT

219
00:06:04,698 --> 00:06:05,298
RFK RECENTLY-- FROM THE FACT

220
00:06:05,298 --> 00:06:10,670
HIS DISTINCTIVE VOICE IS CAUSED

221
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:11,304
BY A CONDITION CALLED SPASMODIC

222
00:06:11,304 --> 00:06:11,871
DYSPHONIA, TO THE NEWS THAT

223
00:06:11,871 --> 00:06:15,442
DOCTORS ONCE FOUND A DEAD WORM

224
00:06:15,442 --> 00:06:15,975
IN HIS BRAIN, TO EVEN HIS

225
00:06:15,975 --> 00:06:16,609
PHYSICAL FITNESS ROUTINE, WHICH

226
00:06:16,609 --> 00:06:17,243
HE'S PUT FRONT AND CENTER IN ADS

227
00:06:17,243 --> 00:06:19,112
LIKE THIS.

228
00:06:19,112 --> 00:06:22,082
I GO TO THE GYM EVERY DAY.

229
00:06:22,082 --> 00:06:23,850
I HIKE EVERY DAY.

230
00:06:23,850 --> 00:06:28,521
I DON'T EVER EAT PROCESSED FOOD.

231
00:06:28,521 --> 00:06:35,595
I DO INTERMITTENT FAST.

232
00:06:36,229 --> 00:06:43,236
♪ ♪

233
00:06:46,272 --> 00:06:48,108
John: COOL.

234
00:06:48,108 --> 00:06:48,708
TO BE HONEST, THAT LOOKS LESS

235
00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:49,642
LIKE A CAMPAIGN AD AND MORE LIKE

236
00:06:49,642 --> 00:06:51,578
THE DATING PROFILE OF A GUY WHO

237
00:06:51,578 --> 00:06:53,913
JUST LOST CUSTODY.

238
00:06:53,913 --> 00:06:55,415
AND WHILE IT'S A BIT WEIRD TO BE

239
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:57,384
WORKING OUT IN JEANS-- FROM ONE

240
00:06:57,384 --> 00:07:00,053
JOCK TO ANOTHER, I GET IT.

241
00:07:00,053 --> 00:07:00,653
YOU GOTTA PUT IN THE TIME AND

242
00:07:00,653 --> 00:07:04,090
WORK TO GET OUR KIND OF BODY.

243
00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:04,657
AROUND THE GYM I'M KNOWN AS

244
00:07:04,657 --> 00:07:05,458
"JOHN OLIVER ESQUIRE" BECAUSE I

245
00:07:05,458 --> 00:07:07,394
ALWAYS HAVE PERMISSION TO

246
00:07:07,394 --> 00:07:09,996
APPROACH THE BENCH.

247
00:07:09,996 --> 00:07:10,563
IS THIS HGTV?

248
00:07:10,563 --> 00:07:12,966
BECAUSE I'M ALL GAINS.

249
00:07:12,966 --> 00:07:13,667
CALL ME THE THIRD LITTLE PIG,

250
00:07:13,667 --> 00:07:14,234
BECAUSE I'M BUILDING.

251
00:07:14,234 --> 00:07:15,001
A BRICK.

252
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:17,637
HOUSE.

253
00:07:17,637 --> 00:07:18,972
KENNEDY'S CAMPAIGN HAS REALLY

254
00:07:18,972 --> 00:07:20,173
LEANED INTO HIS QUIRKINESS,

255
00:07:20,173 --> 00:07:21,274
OFFERING SUPPORTERS THE CHANCE

256
00:07:21,274 --> 00:07:21,841
TO WIN THINGS LIKE "GO WHALE

257
00:07:21,841 --> 00:07:23,610
WATCHING WITH RFK, JR.

258
00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:24,210
AND HIS WIFE CHERYL HINES" OR

259
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,111
"WIN A DAY OF FALCONRY WITH RFK,

260
00:07:25,111 --> 00:07:26,913
JR."

261
00:07:26,913 --> 00:07:27,547
FEATURING THIS IMAGE OF HIM AND

262
00:07:27,547 --> 00:07:28,314
A FALCON THAT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE

263
00:07:28,314 --> 00:07:32,052
ASKING YOU TO BE THEIR THIRD.

264
00:07:32,052 --> 00:07:32,686
AND HE'S ATTRACTED A BROAD BASE

265
00:07:32,686 --> 00:07:38,491
OF SUPPORTERS, WITH POLLS

266
00:07:38,491 --> 00:07:39,092
FINDING THERE ISN'T A SINGLE

267
00:07:39,092 --> 00:07:39,959
ISSUE OR TOPIC THAT SEEMS TO

268
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:40,527
UNIFY RFK VOTERS, WHO CAN BE

269
00:07:40,527 --> 00:07:41,594
DRAWN TO HIM FOR ALL SORTS OF

270
00:07:41,594 --> 00:07:41,828
REASONS.

271
00:07:41,828 --> 00:07:43,530
HE'S AN HONEST CANDIDATE,

272
00:07:43,530 --> 00:07:45,965
HE'S VERY TRUTHFUL.

273
00:07:45,965 --> 00:07:46,499
THE KENNEDYS ARE REALLY

274
00:07:46,499 --> 00:07:48,868
ROYALTY IN THIS COUNTRY, BECAUSE

275
00:07:48,868 --> 00:07:50,370
THEY DO THE RIGHT THING.

276
00:07:50,370 --> 00:07:52,172
HIS FAMILY HAS ALWAYS BEEN

277
00:07:52,172 --> 00:07:55,241
INTO THE RIGHTS FOR THE

278
00:07:55,241 --> 00:07:55,909
UNDERPRIVILEGED.

279
00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:57,744
HE'S COMING TO ALL VOTERS AND

280
00:07:57,744 --> 00:08:01,281
SAYING THAT IF YOU VOTE FOR ME,

281
00:08:01,281 --> 00:08:01,915
LIKE, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO AFFORD

282
00:08:01,915 --> 00:08:02,515
TO BUY A HOUSE.

283
00:08:02,515 --> 00:08:06,019
HE'S ANTIESTABLISHMENT

284
00:08:06,019 --> 00:08:06,920
WITHOUT ALL THE BAGGAGE.

285
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:07,554
YOU KNOW, HE'S GOING TO RESTORE

286
00:08:07,554 --> 00:08:08,154
TRUST AND TRANSPARENCY TO OUR

287
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:08,722
FEDERAL INSTITUTIONS BECAUSE

288
00:08:08,722 --> 00:08:10,156
HE'S A MAN OF INTEGRITY.

289
00:08:10,156 --> 00:08:11,157
HE HAS HONOR AND HE'S HONEST.

290
00:08:11,157 --> 00:08:11,991
John: YEAH, PEOPLE LIKE HIM

291
00:08:11,991 --> 00:08:13,126
FOR A BUNCH OF REASONS.

292
00:08:13,126 --> 00:08:14,994
ALTHOUGH, CALLING A KENNEDY

293
00:08:14,994 --> 00:08:16,062
"ANTIESTABLISHMENT" IS A

294
00:08:16,062 --> 00:08:17,464
STRETCH.

295
00:08:17,464 --> 00:08:18,431
IT'S LIKE CALLING THE WINDSORS

296
00:08:18,431 --> 00:08:21,401
"ANTI-HAT."

297
00:08:21,401 --> 00:08:22,168
THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE.

298
00:08:22,168 --> 00:08:24,104
THE KENNEDYS ARE THE VERY

299
00:08:24,104 --> 00:08:26,306
DEFINITION OF "THE

300
00:08:26,306 --> 00:08:26,940
ESTABLISHMENT," AND THE WINDSORS

301
00:08:26,940 --> 00:08:27,474
ARE FAMOUSLY HAT BITCHES.

302
00:08:27,474 --> 00:08:28,074
BUT THE THING MOST PEOPLE KNOW

303
00:08:28,074 --> 00:08:29,075
ABOUT RFK IS THAT HE'S OFTEN

304
00:08:29,075 --> 00:08:30,510
CALLED A CONSPIRACY THEORIST.

305
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:32,145
IT'S A CHARGE BROUGHT UP SO

306
00:08:32,145 --> 00:08:34,047
OFTEN, HE WAS ABLE TO READ OFF A

307
00:08:34,047 --> 00:08:35,382
LIST OF INSULTS IN THIS AD.

308
00:08:35,382 --> 00:08:36,583
"HE'S A WALKING, TALKING

309
00:08:36,583 --> 00:08:37,784
CONSPIRACY THEORY,"

310
00:08:37,784 --> 00:08:39,152
"THE NEW YORK TIMES."

311
00:08:39,152 --> 00:08:40,186
"HE'S COMPLETELY DIVORCED FROM

312
00:08:40,186 --> 00:08:42,622
REALITY," "THE GUARDIAN."

313
00:08:42,622 --> 00:08:44,057
"HE IS VILE," THE WHITE HOUSE.

314
00:08:44,057 --> 00:08:46,993
"BEING WITH HIM WAS A LOW POINT

315
00:08:46,993 --> 00:08:50,497
OF MY SUMMER," "VANITY FAIR."

316
00:08:50,497 --> 00:08:51,031
"HE HAS CONVERSATIONS WITH

317
00:08:51,031 --> 00:08:55,468
DEAD PEOPLE," "THE GUARDIAN."

318
00:08:55,468 --> 00:08:56,036
I WOULDN'T VOTE FOR THAT GUY

319
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:58,038
EITHER.

320
00:08:58,038 --> 00:09:04,477
John: THAT'S PRETTY LIKEABLE!

321
00:09:04,477 --> 00:09:05,412
AND KUDOS TO "VANITY FAIR" FOR

322
00:09:05,412 --> 00:09:06,279
NOT SOFT-PEDALING IT WITH "VILE"

323
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:08,248
OR "DIVORCED FROM REALITY" AND

324
00:09:08,248 --> 00:09:08,848
INSTEAD GOING FOR THE JUGULAR

325
00:09:08,848 --> 00:09:09,683
WITH, "THIS GUY'S VIBE IS SO BAD

326
00:09:09,683 --> 00:09:10,216
IT WAS THE LOW POINT OF MY

327
00:09:10,216 --> 00:09:11,317
SUMMER."

328
00:09:11,317 --> 00:09:13,253
THAT IS, GENUINELY, SO MEAN, AND

329
00:09:13,253 --> 00:09:14,354
I COULDN'T RESPECT IT MORE.

330
00:09:14,354 --> 00:09:17,424
BUT DESPITE THAT, RFK'S

331
00:09:17,424 --> 00:09:18,224
CURRENTLY POLLING AROUND 6%--

332
00:09:18,224 --> 00:09:19,159
AND IN SOME CRUCIAL SWING

333
00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:24,164
STATES, LIKE MICHIGAN, HE COULD

334
00:09:24,164 --> 00:09:24,964
TIP THE BALANCE-- ESPECIALLY

335
00:09:24,964 --> 00:09:25,565
GIVEN, AS OF TAPING, TRUMP AND

336
00:09:25,565 --> 00:09:26,199
HARRIS ARE NECK AND NECK THERE,

337
00:09:26,199 --> 00:09:26,833
AND RFK IS POLLING CLOSE TO 7%.

338
00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:29,269
AND TO QUOTE ABSOLUTELY NO ONE

339
00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:30,870
FROM HILLARY'S 2016 CAMPAIGN: WE

340
00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:31,805
SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT

341
00:09:31,805 --> 00:09:35,008
MICHIGAN.

342
00:09:35,008 --> 00:09:35,809
SO IF HE'S THIS POPULAR, AND HAS

343
00:09:35,809 --> 00:09:37,143
THE POTENTIAL TO HAVE THIS MUCH

344
00:09:37,143 --> 00:09:38,378
INFLUENCE, TONIGHT, LET'S TALK

345
00:09:38,378 --> 00:09:38,978
ABOUT RFK JR.

346
00:09:38,978 --> 00:09:39,479
AND LET'S START WITH THE

347
00:09:39,479 --> 00:09:42,048
OBVIOUS.

348
00:09:42,048 --> 00:09:42,615
HE'S, FIRST AND FOREMOST, A

349
00:09:42,615 --> 00:09:45,852
KENNEDY.

350
00:09:45,852 --> 00:09:46,419
HIS UNCLE, JFK, WAS THE 35TH

351
00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:47,454
PRESIDENT WHO, AS HISTORY BUFFS

352
00:09:47,454 --> 00:09:48,054
MAY KNOW, WAS ASSASSINATED IN

353
00:09:48,054 --> 00:09:50,023
1963.

354
00:09:50,023 --> 00:09:50,857
FIVE YEARS LATER, HIS DAD WAS

355
00:09:50,857 --> 00:09:53,293
ALSO ASSASSINATED, WHEN KENNEDY

356
00:09:53,293 --> 00:09:55,495
WAS JUST 14 YEARS OLD.

357
00:09:55,495 --> 00:09:56,129
IN HIS LATER TEENS AND TWENTIES,

358
00:09:56,129 --> 00:09:57,130
HE STRUGGLED WITH DRUG

359
00:09:57,130 --> 00:09:58,898
ADDICTION, BUT IN 1983, HE GOT

360
00:09:58,898 --> 00:09:59,966
SOBER AND SOON BECAME THE CHIEF

361
00:09:59,966 --> 00:10:00,700
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY FOR WHAT

362
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:01,868
WOULD BECOME THE

363
00:10:01,868 --> 00:10:02,635
ENVIRONMENTALIST GROUP

364
00:10:02,635 --> 00:10:04,237
RIVERKEEPER, KICKING OFF A

365
00:10:04,237 --> 00:10:05,605
CAREER DOING SOME GENUINELY

366
00:10:05,605 --> 00:10:07,040
LAUDABLE WORK-- RAILING AGAINST

367
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,375
FRACKING, HUDSON RIVER

368
00:10:08,375 --> 00:10:08,842
POLLUTION, AND GREEDY

369
00:10:08,842 --> 00:10:09,843
CORPORATIONS POISONING NATURAL

370
00:10:09,843 --> 00:10:11,911
RESOURCES.

371
00:10:11,911 --> 00:10:13,880
THAT'S WHY NEW YORK MAGAZINE

372
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,248
CALLED HIM "THE KENNEDY WHO

373
00:10:15,248 --> 00:10:15,849
MATTERS," AND TIME NAMED HIM A

374
00:10:15,849 --> 00:10:17,550
"HERO FOR THE PLANET."

375
00:10:17,550 --> 00:10:18,618
AND AS A CANDIDATE HE'S TRIED TO

376
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:20,653
TAP INTO THE LIBERAL CREDIBILITY

377
00:10:20,653 --> 00:10:21,521
HIS WORK GOT BACK THEN.

378
00:10:21,521 --> 00:10:23,957
HE'S PROMISED TO BE "THE

379
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:24,591
GREATEST ENVIRONMENTAL PRESIDENT

380
00:10:24,591 --> 00:10:27,761
IN AMERICAN HISTORY," AND HAS

381
00:10:27,761 --> 00:10:28,762
TALKED ABOUT A BUNCH OF THINGS

382
00:10:28,762 --> 00:10:34,134
WE'VE COVERED, LIKE SO-CALLED

383
00:10:34,134 --> 00:10:34,701
"FOREVER CHEMICALS" OR PFAs,

384
00:10:34,701 --> 00:10:35,201
AND THE PROLIFERATION OF

385
00:10:35,201 --> 00:10:36,703
MICROPLASTICS.

386
00:10:36,703 --> 00:10:37,270
YOU KNOW, ALL THE FUN STUFF

387
00:10:37,270 --> 00:10:37,904
YOU EXPECT FROM OUR COMEDY SHOW,

388
00:10:37,904 --> 00:10:38,438
WHICH AT THIS POINT SHOULD

389
00:10:38,438 --> 00:10:39,139
PROBABLY BE CALLED "YOU HAVE

390
00:10:39,139 --> 00:10:39,773
ALREADY BEEN POISONED," WITH THE

391
00:10:39,773 --> 00:10:42,642
DUOLINGO OWL'S BIOLOGICAL UNCLE.

392
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:43,243
AND IT'S NOT JUST THAT-- HE'S

393
00:10:43,243 --> 00:10:44,744
ALSO PROPOSED RAISING THE

394
00:10:44,744 --> 00:10:46,246
MINIMUM WAGE TO $15, AND MAKING

395
00:10:46,246 --> 00:10:46,846
STUDENT DEBT DISCHARGEABLE VIA

396
00:10:46,846 --> 00:10:47,681
BANKRUPTCY.

397
00:10:47,681 --> 00:10:49,816
AND IF I ENDED THE PIECE RIGHT

398
00:10:49,816 --> 00:10:51,451
NOW, IT'D HONESTLY BE A PRETTY

399
00:10:51,451 --> 00:10:53,787
GOOD AD FOR RFK, JR.

400
00:10:53,787 --> 00:10:55,422
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS A

401
00:10:55,422 --> 00:10:57,290
LOT MORE TO SAY.

402
00:10:57,290 --> 00:10:57,891
AND LET'S START WITH HIS OTHER

403
00:10:57,891 --> 00:10:59,459
POLICY PROPOSALS.

404
00:10:59,459 --> 00:11:01,728
BECAUSE SOME ARE, TO PUT IT

405
00:11:01,728 --> 00:11:02,295
MILDLY, UNDERBAKED.

406
00:11:02,295 --> 00:11:03,463
ONE OF HIS MARQUEE PROMISES IS

407
00:11:03,463 --> 00:11:04,230
OFFERING FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS A

408
00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:05,632
3% MORTGAGE RATE, FUNDED BY

409
00:11:05,632 --> 00:11:07,667
TAX-FREE GOVERNMENT ISSUED

410
00:11:07,667 --> 00:11:08,501
BONDS.

411
00:11:08,501 --> 00:11:10,003
HERE HE IS DESCRIBING THE PLAN

412
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:10,637
AND SEE HOW FAR HE GETS INTO

413
00:11:10,637 --> 00:11:12,906
HIS PITCH BEFORE YOU START

414
00:11:12,906 --> 00:11:15,075
HEARING ALARM BELLS.

415
00:11:15,075 --> 00:11:17,644
IF YOU HAVE A RICH UNCLE, UM,

416
00:11:17,644 --> 00:11:20,480
WHO WILL CO-SIGN YOUR MORTGAGE,

417
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,381
YOU CAN GET A MUCH BETTER RATE.

418
00:11:21,381 --> 00:11:23,183
I'M GOING TO GIVE EVERYBODY A

419
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:24,718
RICH UNCLE, ALL THESE YOUNG

420
00:11:24,718 --> 00:11:26,119
PEOPLE, WHICH IS UNCLE SAM.

421
00:11:26,119 --> 00:11:27,220
WHICH IS GOING TO GUARANTEE YOUR

422
00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:28,655
MORTGAGE.

423
00:11:28,655 --> 00:11:30,023
SO THAT'LL ALLOW YOU TO GET THAT

424
00:11:30,023 --> 00:11:31,091
3% RATE.

425
00:11:31,091 --> 00:11:33,526
AND IF YOU DEFAULT ON IT, YOU

426
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:34,561
KNOW, WE WILL INHERIT-- THE

427
00:11:34,561 --> 00:11:36,129
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL

428
00:11:36,129 --> 00:11:37,897
INHERIT-- THIS IS HOW FREDDIE

429
00:11:37,897 --> 00:11:39,366
MAC AND FANNIE MAE OPERATED.

430
00:11:39,366 --> 00:11:39,733
John: RIGHT.

431
00:11:39,733 --> 00:11:41,101
HE'S SUGGESTING GIVING

432
00:11:41,101 --> 00:11:42,969
LOW-INTEREST HOME LOANS TO

433
00:11:42,969 --> 00:11:44,704
BUYERS WITH BAD CREDIT,

434
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:45,205
GUARANTEED BY FANNIE AND

435
00:11:45,205 --> 00:11:47,073
FREDDIE, AN IDEA WITH NO BAD

436
00:11:47,073 --> 00:11:47,540
HISTORICAL PRECEDENTS

437
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:50,143
WHATSOEVER.

438
00:11:50,143 --> 00:11:50,810
AND IF YOU'RE WONDERING,

439
00:11:50,810 --> 00:11:51,811
"DOESN'T THAT GUY REMEMBER

440
00:11:51,811 --> 00:11:52,846
2008?"

441
00:11:52,846 --> 00:11:53,380
I DON'T KNOW, BUT I SHOULD

442
00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:55,315
POINT OUT, THEY DIDN'T FIND THE

443
00:11:55,315 --> 00:12:00,353
WORM UNTIL 2010.

444
00:12:00,353 --> 00:12:01,287
SO HE MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE AN

445
00:12:01,287 --> 00:12:02,422
AMAZING EXCUSE THERE.

446
00:12:02,422 --> 00:12:03,556
BUT "NOT FULLY THINKING THROUGH"

447
00:12:03,556 --> 00:12:04,891
POLICIES IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

448
00:12:04,891 --> 00:12:06,526
BECAUSE YOU SHOULD KNOW--

449
00:12:06,526 --> 00:12:07,160
RFK'S ALSO A LOT MORE

450
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,661
RIGHT-WING ON CERTAIN ISSUES

451
00:12:08,661 --> 00:12:09,996
THAN YOU MIGHT ASSUME.

452
00:12:09,996 --> 00:12:10,563
ON IMMIGRATION, HE ENDORSED

453
00:12:10,563 --> 00:12:12,132
TRUMP'S "REMAIN IN MEXICO"

454
00:12:12,132 --> 00:12:12,732
POLICY, AND PLEDGED TO FINISH

455
00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:14,267
THE WALL.

456
00:12:14,267 --> 00:12:15,568
AND ON GAZA, HE'S REPEATEDLY

457
00:12:15,568 --> 00:12:17,370
OPPOSED A CEASE-FIRE DEAL,

458
00:12:17,370 --> 00:12:19,139
COMPARED THE WAR THERE TO THE

459
00:12:19,139 --> 00:12:20,640
DENAZIFICATION OF GERMANY, AND

460
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:21,975
CALLED PALESTINIANS ARGUABLY THE

461
00:12:21,975 --> 00:12:23,443
MOST PAMPERED PEOPLE BY

462
00:12:23,443 --> 00:12:24,844
INTERNATIONAL AID ORGANIZATIONS

463
00:12:24,844 --> 00:12:26,046
IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD."

464
00:12:26,046 --> 00:12:28,314
AND IT SEEMS YOU CAN SAY ANY

465
00:12:28,314 --> 00:12:29,182
STUPID THING IF YOU PUT THE WORD

466
00:12:29,182 --> 00:12:31,951
"ARGUABLY" IN FRONT OF IT.

467
00:12:31,951 --> 00:12:32,752
ARGUABLY, BOEING IS HAVING A

468
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:34,587
GREAT YEAR.

469
00:12:34,587 --> 00:12:36,156
IT ISN'T, BUT YOU COULD ARGUE

470
00:12:36,156 --> 00:12:39,526
IT, AND THEN LOSE THE ARGUMENT.

471
00:12:39,526 --> 00:12:41,261
AND IT'S NOT JUST POLICY WHERE

472
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:44,831
KENNEDY MIGHT NOT BE WHO YOU

473
00:12:44,831 --> 00:12:45,198
WANT HIM TO BE.

474
00:12:45,198 --> 00:12:46,332
HE'S ALSO ADMITTED TO FLYING ON

475
00:12:46,332 --> 00:12:47,500
EPSTEIN'S PRIVATE JET, AND, WHEN

476
00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:48,101
ASKED ABOUT THAT ON A PODCAST,

477
00:12:48,101 --> 00:12:50,670
GAVE AN ANSWER SO HONEST, THE

478
00:12:50,670 --> 00:12:54,474
HOST SEEMED TO FEEL THE NEED TO

479
00:12:54,474 --> 00:12:54,908
TRY AND RESCUE HIM.

480
00:12:54,908 --> 00:12:55,442
GIVE THE CONTEXT TO THE

481
00:12:55,442 --> 00:12:55,775
EPSTEIN THING.

482
00:12:55,775 --> 00:12:56,876
CAUSE YOU BASICALLY GOT OUT

483
00:12:56,876 --> 00:12:58,211
AHEAD OF THE...

484
00:12:58,211 --> 00:13:03,116
YOU KNOW, FIRST OF ALL, YOU

485
00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:04,417
KNOW I'M IN NEW YORK FOR MOST OF

486
00:13:04,417 --> 00:13:07,654
MY LIFE.

487
00:13:07,654 --> 00:13:08,388
SO, AND YOU RUN INTO EVERYBODY

488
00:13:08,388 --> 00:13:09,823
IN NEW YORK.

489
00:13:09,823 --> 00:13:11,658
I MEAN, I KNEW HARVEY WEINSTEIN,

490
00:13:11,658 --> 00:13:13,393
I KNEW ROGER AILES, I KNEW--

491
00:13:13,393 --> 00:13:15,695
O.J. SIMPSON CAME TO MY HOUSE.

492
00:13:15,695 --> 00:13:17,397
BILL COSBY CAME TO MY HOUSE.

493
00:13:17,397 --> 00:13:20,600
YOU ALSO KNEW GOOD PEOPLE.

494
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,035
I DID KNOW A LOT OF THEM, BUT

495
00:13:22,035 --> 00:13:24,170
YOU DON'T KNOW THESE PEOPLE ARE

496
00:13:24,170 --> 00:13:26,039
SWAMP CREATURES UNTIL ALL THIS

497
00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:27,674
STUFF COMES OUT.

498
00:13:27,674 --> 00:13:29,376
John: I MEAN, SURE, BUT

499
00:13:29,376 --> 00:13:31,711
THAT'S STILL A "WHO'S WHO" OF

500
00:13:31,711 --> 00:13:36,583
'90s MURDERERS AND SEX

501
00:13:36,583 --> 00:13:36,950
OFFENDERS THERE.

502
00:13:36,950 --> 00:13:37,517
AND WHILE THERE ARE LOTS OF

503
00:13:37,517 --> 00:13:38,618
THINGS YOU CAN SHRUG OFF WITH

504
00:13:38,618 --> 00:13:39,252
"THAT'S JUST NEW YORK," I'M NOT

505
00:13:39,252 --> 00:13:39,786
SURE THIS IS ONE OF THEM.

506
00:13:39,786 --> 00:13:39,986
RATS?

507
00:13:39,986 --> 00:13:41,621
THAT'S JUST NEW YORK.

508
00:13:41,621 --> 00:13:42,322
DRAGGING YOUR CLOTHING FOUR

509
00:13:42,322 --> 00:13:43,023
BLOCKS ONCE A WEEK?

510
00:13:43,023 --> 00:13:44,357
THAT'S JUST NEW YORK.

511
00:13:44,357 --> 00:13:45,658
ONE PERSON IN YOUR SUBWAY CAR

512
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:46,993
TALKING ABOUT JESUS AND ANOTHER

513
00:13:46,993 --> 00:13:48,328
DOING FLIPS AND EVENTUALLY THE

514
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:49,462
ONE DOING FLIPS ACCIDENTALLY

515
00:13:49,462 --> 00:13:50,330
KICKS THE ONE TALKING ABOUT

516
00:13:50,330 --> 00:13:51,531
JESUS?

517
00:13:51,531 --> 00:13:52,999
THAT'S JUST NEW YORK.

518
00:13:52,999 --> 00:13:54,000
BUT HAVING A ROLODEX THAT TURNS

519
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,568
OUT TO BE PART SEX-OFFENDER

520
00:13:55,568 --> 00:13:57,404
REGISTRY?

521
00:13:57,404 --> 00:13:58,738
THAT'S A YOU PROBLEM, BOBBY,

522
00:13:58,738 --> 00:14:00,874
LEAVE THE REST OF US OUT OF IT.

523
00:14:00,874 --> 00:14:02,442
AND IN OTHER PERSONAL STORIES,

524
00:14:02,442 --> 00:14:07,514
HE COMES OFF EVEN WORSE.

525
00:14:07,514 --> 00:14:08,148
JUST LAST MONTH, A "VANITY FAIR"

526
00:14:08,148 --> 00:14:09,049
ARTICLE REVEALED THAT A FORMER

527
00:14:09,049 --> 00:14:09,649
BABYSITTER HAD ACCUSED HIM OF

528
00:14:09,649 --> 00:14:10,016
SEXUAL ASSAULT.

529
00:14:10,016 --> 00:14:10,550
AND THAT'S SOMETHING YOU'D

530
00:14:10,550 --> 00:14:12,152
EXPECT HE'D HAVE A STRONG DENIAL

531
00:14:12,152 --> 00:14:12,919
FOR, BUT INSTEAD, WHAT YOU GET

532
00:14:12,919 --> 00:14:14,454
IS THIS.

533
00:14:14,454 --> 00:14:16,056
LISTEN, I'VE SAID THIS FROM

534
00:14:16,056 --> 00:14:17,223
THE BEGINNING.

535
00:14:17,223 --> 00:14:19,459
I AM NOT A CHURCH BOY.

536
00:14:19,459 --> 00:14:20,860
I AM NOT RUNNING LIKE THAT.

537
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:22,662
I SAID IN MY...

538
00:14:22,662 --> 00:14:23,463
I HAD A VERY, VERY RAMBUNCTIOUS

539
00:14:23,463 --> 00:14:27,033
YOUTH.

540
00:14:27,033 --> 00:14:29,869
I SAID IN MY ANNOUNCEMENT SPEECH

541
00:14:29,869 --> 00:14:31,171
THAT I HAVE SO MANY SKELETONS IN

542
00:14:31,171 --> 00:14:34,574
MY CLOSET THAT IF THEY IF THEY

543
00:14:34,574 --> 00:14:35,208
COULD ALL VOTE, I COULD RUN FOR

544
00:14:35,208 --> 00:14:42,282
KING OF THE WORLD.

545
00:14:44,851 --> 00:14:46,119
John: OKAY, I'M SORRY, FIRST

546
00:14:46,119 --> 00:14:46,886
"NOT A CHURCH BOY?"

547
00:14:46,886 --> 00:14:47,487
IF THE IMPLICATION IS "PEOPLE

548
00:14:47,487 --> 00:14:48,121
AFFILIATED WITH THE CHURCH DON'T

549
00:14:48,121 --> 00:14:48,755
COMMIT SEXUAL ASSAULT," BOY DO I

550
00:14:48,755 --> 00:14:49,823
HAVE BAD NEWS FOR YOU AND YOUR

551
00:14:49,823 --> 00:14:50,824
MASSIVE CATHOLIC FAMILY.

552
00:14:50,824 --> 00:14:54,794
ALSO, "RAMBUNCTIOUS YOUTH" IS A

553
00:14:54,794 --> 00:14:55,328
TERRIBLE WAY TO RESPOND TO

554
00:14:55,328 --> 00:14:55,995
ALLEGATIONS YOU ASSAULTED A

555
00:14:55,995 --> 00:14:57,297
BABYSITTER, NO MATTER WHAT, BUT

556
00:14:57,297 --> 00:14:58,732
ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE

557
00:14:58,732 --> 00:14:59,733
ALLEGED ASSAULT TOOK PLACE WHEN

558
00:14:59,733 --> 00:15:01,234
YOU WERE 40 YEARS OLD.

559
00:15:01,234 --> 00:15:01,868
AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT, WHEN HE

560
00:15:01,868 --> 00:15:03,336
WAS ASKED WHETHER MORE WOMEN

561
00:15:03,336 --> 00:15:06,439
MIGHT BE COMING FORWARD, BILL

562
00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:17,917
WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

563
00:15:21,421 --> 00:15:22,589
AND THE ONLY WORSE WAY HE COULD

564
00:15:22,589 --> 00:15:25,058
FOLLOW THAT UP IS WITH "BILL

565
00:15:25,058 --> 00:15:25,825
COSBY'S BEEN TO MY HOUSE."

566
00:15:25,825 --> 00:15:26,459
BUT OBVIOUSLY, THE BIGGEST ISSUE

567
00:15:26,459 --> 00:15:27,093
WITH RFK IS HIS REPUTATION AS A

568
00:15:27,093 --> 00:15:27,594
CONSPIRACY THEORIST AND

569
00:15:27,594 --> 00:15:28,995
ANTI-VAXXER.

570
00:15:28,995 --> 00:15:29,629
AND IF YOU SUPPORT HIM, YOU MAY

571
00:15:29,629 --> 00:15:30,764
THINK THAT'S BEEN OVERBLOWN.

572
00:15:30,764 --> 00:15:31,364
YOU MIGHT THINK, "HE WENT ON A

573
00:15:31,364 --> 00:15:32,432
PODCAST I LISTEN TO, AND HE

574
00:15:32,432 --> 00:15:33,333
SEEMED TOTALLY REASONABLE."

575
00:15:33,333 --> 00:15:34,300
AND HE DOES DO A LOT OF THEM.

576
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:34,901
WE LISTENED TO A BUNCH, AND IN

577
00:15:34,901 --> 00:15:36,169
DOING SO, NOTICED AN INTERESTING

578
00:15:36,169 --> 00:15:36,803
PATTERN: ON THE MORE MAINSTREAM

579
00:15:36,803 --> 00:15:37,937
ONES, HE'LL GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO

580
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:39,239
SEEM REASONABLE AND OPEN-MINDED

581
00:15:39,239 --> 00:15:40,106
IN FACT, HE'S GOT A LINE HE

582
00:15:40,106 --> 00:15:41,408
LIKES TO DEPLOY A LOT, IN

583
00:15:41,408 --> 00:15:45,211
PODCASTS AND OTHER SETTINGS.

584
00:15:45,211 --> 00:15:46,146
I HAVE A CRITICAL MIND.

585
00:15:46,146 --> 00:15:47,781
IF SOMEBODY SHOWS ME WHERE I GOT

586
00:15:47,781 --> 00:15:48,248
IT WRONG, I'LL CHANGE.

587
00:15:48,248 --> 00:15:49,582
I'M NOT DUG IN.

588
00:15:49,582 --> 00:15:50,884
I'M NOT HARDHEADED IN THAT

589
00:15:50,884 --> 00:15:51,084
SENSE.

590
00:15:51,084 --> 00:15:54,054
I WILL CHANGE MY MIND ALWAYS

591
00:15:54,054 --> 00:15:55,355
IF-- IF SOMEBODY CONFRONTS ME

592
00:15:55,355 --> 00:15:58,391
WITH WITH FACTS.

593
00:15:58,391 --> 00:15:59,793
IF SOMEBODY SHOWS ME A FACT

594
00:15:59,793 --> 00:16:01,194
AND I'M WRONG, I'M GOING TO

595
00:16:01,194 --> 00:16:01,728
CHANGE MY OPINION AND I'LL

596
00:16:01,728 --> 00:16:05,665
APOLOGIZE.

597
00:16:05,665 --> 00:16:06,499
John: THAT SOUNDS PRETTY

598
00:16:06,499 --> 00:16:07,567
GOOD!

599
00:16:07,567 --> 00:16:09,569
EVEN IF "SHOW ME A FACT" SOUNDS

600
00:16:09,569 --> 00:16:10,170
LIKE WHAT A JOHN OLIVER ACTION

601
00:16:10,170 --> 00:16:10,970
FIGURE WOULD SAY WHEN YOU PULL

602
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:12,572
THE STRING ON HIS BACK.

603
00:16:12,572 --> 00:16:13,540
THAT AND "IT'S NOT SEXUAL

604
00:16:13,540 --> 00:16:16,609
HARASSMENT IF IT'S A HORSE."

605
00:16:16,609 --> 00:16:18,111
UNFORTUNATELY, HISTORY HAS SHOWN

606
00:16:18,111 --> 00:16:19,412
HIM TO BE MUCH MORE DUG-IN THAN

607
00:16:19,412 --> 00:16:20,613
HE LIKES TO IMPLY.

608
00:16:20,613 --> 00:16:21,848
AND BEFORE WE GET TO HIS MORE

609
00:16:21,848 --> 00:16:23,083
FAMOUS VIEWS ON VACCINES AND

610
00:16:23,083 --> 00:16:24,484
COVID, YOU SHOULD KNOW THEY'RE

611
00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:25,085
BY NO MEANS HIS ONLY ALARMING

612
00:16:25,085 --> 00:16:26,453
STANCES.

613
00:16:26,453 --> 00:16:28,088
TAKE AIDS.

614
00:16:28,088 --> 00:16:29,589
IT IS A SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN

615
00:16:29,589 --> 00:16:31,858
FACT THAT AIDS IS CAUSED BY

616
00:16:31,858 --> 00:16:33,560
HIV.

617
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:34,527
BUT IN THE EARLY '80s, PEOPLE

618
00:16:34,527 --> 00:16:35,662
LOOKED AT THE FACT IT WAS

619
00:16:35,662 --> 00:16:36,396
SPREADING IN THE U.S. AND EUROPE

620
00:16:36,396 --> 00:16:37,130
LARGELY WITHIN THE GAY

621
00:16:37,130 --> 00:16:38,965
COMMUNITY, AND TRIED TO LOCATE

622
00:16:38,965 --> 00:16:39,933
OTHER FACTORS THAT MIGHT BE

623
00:16:39,933 --> 00:16:41,001
CAUSING IT.

624
00:16:41,001 --> 00:16:42,369
NOWADAYS, MOST PEOPLE ACCEPT

625
00:16:42,369 --> 00:16:44,237
THOSE EARLY THEORIES WERE DEAD

626
00:16:44,237 --> 00:16:45,839
ENDS, BUT AMAZINGLY, AS RECENTLY

627
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:48,108
AS THREE YEARS AGO RFK WAS OUT

628
00:16:48,108 --> 00:16:50,410
THERE SAYING SHIT LIKE THIS.

629
00:16:50,410 --> 00:16:51,745
THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT

630
00:16:51,745 --> 00:16:56,583
SAID IT'S NOT A VIRUS, THE VIRUS

631
00:16:56,583 --> 00:16:57,183
IS A-- A PASSENGER VIRUS, AND

632
00:16:57,183 --> 00:16:58,718
THESE PEOPLE ARE DYING MAINLY

633
00:16:58,718 --> 00:17:00,387
BECAUSE OF POPPERS.

634
00:17:00,387 --> 00:17:00,987
100% OF THE PEOPLE WHO DIED IN

635
00:17:00,987 --> 00:17:03,390
THE FIRST-- OF THE FIRST

636
00:17:03,390 --> 00:17:07,160
THOUSAND WHO HAD-- WHO HAD AIDS

637
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,096
WERE PEOPLE WHO WERE ADDICTED TO

638
00:17:10,096 --> 00:17:11,297
POPPERS WHICH ARE KNOWN TO CAUSE

639
00:17:11,297 --> 00:17:14,968
KAPOSI SARCOMA IN RATS.

640
00:17:14,968 --> 00:17:17,737
AND-- AND YOU KNOW, THEY WERE

641
00:17:17,737 --> 00:17:19,472
PEOPLE WERE PART OF A GAY

642
00:17:19,472 --> 00:17:20,607
LIFESTYLE THAT-- WHERE THEY

643
00:17:20,607 --> 00:17:21,241
WERE BURNING THE CANDLE AT BOTH

644
00:17:21,241 --> 00:17:21,741
ENDS.

645
00:17:21,741 --> 00:17:23,643
John: OKAY, THERE'S A LOT

646
00:17:23,643 --> 00:17:26,079
THERE, FROM "A GAY LIFESTYLE" TO

647
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:27,647
REPEATING THE CLAIM THAT "PEOPLE

648
00:17:27,647 --> 00:17:28,748
WERE DYING MAINLY BECAUSE OF

649
00:17:28,748 --> 00:17:29,983
POPPERS," TO THE NOTION THAT

650
00:17:29,983 --> 00:17:31,084
POPPERS CAUSED KAPOSI SARCOMA,

651
00:17:31,084 --> 00:17:32,452
WHICH-- FOR THE RECORD-- THEY

652
00:17:32,452 --> 00:17:36,523
DO NOT.

653
00:17:36,523 --> 00:17:37,090
MULTIPLE STUDIES IN HUMANS

654
00:17:37,090 --> 00:17:37,724
HAVE FOUND THAT EVEN HEAVY

655
00:17:37,724 --> 00:17:39,826
POPPER USE SHOWED NO SIGNIFICANT

656
00:17:39,826 --> 00:17:40,393
ASSOCIATION WITH THE RISK OF

657
00:17:40,393 --> 00:17:42,962
KAPOSI SARCOMA.

658
00:17:42,962 --> 00:17:43,863
WHICH DOES MAKES SENSE, GIVEN

659
00:17:43,863 --> 00:17:44,431
THAT POPPERS ARE STILL SOLD

660
00:17:44,431 --> 00:17:45,165
EVERYWHERE IN THIS CITY.

661
00:17:45,165 --> 00:17:46,466
I GOT THESE THREE BLOCKS FROM

662
00:17:46,466 --> 00:17:48,401
HERE, AS I DO BEFORE EVERY

663
00:17:48,401 --> 00:17:49,302
TAPING OF THIS SHOW.

664
00:17:49,302 --> 00:17:52,605
HOW ELSE DO YOU THINK I GET

665
00:17:52,605 --> 00:17:53,740
THROUGH THIS SHIT?

666
00:17:53,740 --> 00:17:55,108
BUT IT DIDN'T STOP THERE.

667
00:17:55,108 --> 00:17:55,642
KENNEDY'S ALSO ARGUED THAT

668
00:17:55,642 --> 00:17:56,543
ANTHONY FAUCI-- WHO AT THE TIME

669
00:17:56,543 --> 00:17:58,044
WORKED WITHIN THE NIH-- AND

670
00:17:58,044 --> 00:17:59,679
OTHER EXPERTS WANTED TO CALL

671
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:00,814
HIV A VIRUS PARTLY SO HIS

672
00:18:00,814 --> 00:18:02,982
AGENCY, AND THE PHARMACEUTICAL

673
00:18:02,982 --> 00:18:04,250
INDUSTRY, COULD PROFIT FROM THE

674
00:18:04,250 --> 00:18:06,019
PRODUCTION OF AZT, WHICH WAS THE

675
00:18:06,019 --> 00:18:08,288
FIRST DRUG APPROVED BY THE FDA

676
00:18:08,288 --> 00:18:11,091
TO TREAT HIV AND AIDS.

677
00:18:11,091 --> 00:18:11,991
THAT'S PART OF A SERIES OF

678
00:18:11,991 --> 00:18:13,226
ARGUMENTS KNOWN AS "AIDS

679
00:18:13,226 --> 00:18:14,060
DENIALISM," WHICH HAS DONE REAL

680
00:18:14,060 --> 00:18:15,228
DAMAGE.

681
00:18:15,228 --> 00:18:16,930
ONE OF ITS BIGGEST PROPONENTS, A

682
00:18:16,930 --> 00:18:18,331
SCIENTIST NAMED PETER DUESBERG,

683
00:18:18,331 --> 00:18:19,399
ACTUALLY HELPED PERSUADE THE

684
00:18:19,399 --> 00:18:22,335
SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT TO

685
00:18:22,335 --> 00:18:22,936
FOREGO SUPPLYING AZT TO THOSE

686
00:18:22,936 --> 00:18:23,536
WITH AIDS-- A DECISION THAT'S

687
00:18:23,536 --> 00:18:25,939
BEEN ESTIMATED TO HAVE COST OVER

688
00:18:25,939 --> 00:18:28,141
330,000 LIVES THERE.

689
00:18:28,141 --> 00:18:28,975
YET RFK RECENTLY WROTE THAT

690
00:18:28,975 --> 00:18:30,310
DUESBERG'S ARGUMENTS WERE "SO

691
00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:32,245
CLEAN, SO ELEGANTLY CRAFTED AND

692
00:18:32,245 --> 00:18:33,413
SO COMPELLING."

693
00:18:33,413 --> 00:18:35,281
AND "ELEGANTLY CRAFTED?"

694
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:37,183
THAT'D BE ANNOYING IF YOU WERE

695
00:18:37,183 --> 00:18:40,787
WRITING COPY ON THE BACK OF A

696
00:18:40,787 --> 00:18:41,721
$12 CHOCOLATE BAR, BUT

697
00:18:41,721 --> 00:18:42,288
IN THIS INSTANCE, IT'S JUST

698
00:18:42,288 --> 00:18:43,656
OBSCENE.

699
00:18:43,656 --> 00:18:44,224
AND IT'S NOT JUST AIDS WHERE

700
00:18:44,224 --> 00:18:45,525
KENNEDY'S MADE BIG EYE-CATCHING

701
00:18:45,525 --> 00:18:46,826
CLAIMS THAT BEAR NO RESEMBLANCE

702
00:18:46,826 --> 00:18:48,228
TO REALITY.

703
00:18:48,228 --> 00:18:49,696
HERE HE IS LAST YEAR, IN A

704
00:18:49,696 --> 00:18:50,830
"TWITTER SPACES" CHAT WITH ELON

705
00:18:50,830 --> 00:18:52,198
MUSK, SUGGESTING THAT

706
00:18:52,198 --> 00:18:53,299
PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS MAY BE A CAUSE

707
00:18:53,299 --> 00:18:56,936
OF SCHOOL SHOOTINGS.

708
00:18:56,936 --> 00:18:57,937
PRIOR TO THE INTRODUCTION OF

709
00:18:57,937 --> 00:18:59,539
PROZAC, WE HAD ALMOST NO-- NONE

710
00:18:59,539 --> 00:19:01,474
OF THESE EVENTS IN OUR COUNTRY.

711
00:19:01,474 --> 00:19:04,310
AND WE NEVER SEEN THEM IN HUMAN

712
00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:06,046
HISTORY, WHERE PEOPLE WALK INTO

713
00:19:06,046 --> 00:19:07,313
A SCHOOL ROOM OF CHILDREN OR

714
00:19:07,313 --> 00:19:07,881
STRANGERS AND START SHOOTING

715
00:19:07,881 --> 00:19:09,749
PEOPLE.

716
00:19:09,749 --> 00:19:11,418
THERE'S OTHER NATIONS THAT HAVE

717
00:19:11,418 --> 00:19:12,819
AS MANY GUNS PER CAPITA AS WE

718
00:19:12,819 --> 00:19:15,889
DO.

719
00:19:15,889 --> 00:19:16,756
SWITZERLAND, THE LAST SCHOOL

720
00:19:16,756 --> 00:19:18,958
SHOOTING WAS 21 YEARS AGO.

721
00:19:18,958 --> 00:19:19,526
WE HAVE ONE EVERY 21 HOURS.

722
00:19:19,526 --> 00:19:20,593
THE ONE THING THAT WE HAVE

723
00:19:20,593 --> 00:19:21,561
THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN ANYBODY IN

724
00:19:21,561 --> 00:19:22,662
THE WORLD IS THE AMOUNT OF

725
00:19:22,662 --> 00:19:24,597
PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS OUR CHILDREN

726
00:19:24,597 --> 00:19:28,702
ARE TAKING AND OUR PEOPLE ARE

727
00:19:28,702 --> 00:19:29,436
TAKING AND WE NEED TO LOOK AT

728
00:19:29,436 --> 00:19:31,304
THAT.

729
00:19:31,304 --> 00:19:35,508
John: OKAY.

730
00:19:35,508 --> 00:19:36,843
SO BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER, LET

731
00:19:36,843 --> 00:19:37,877
ME JUST SAY-- I ALSO DON'T WANT

732
00:19:37,877 --> 00:19:38,278
TO BE DOING THIS.

733
00:19:38,278 --> 00:19:39,279
I DON'T WANT TO BE DEBUNKING HIS

734
00:19:39,279 --> 00:19:39,713
ARGUMENTS AT LENGTH.

735
00:19:39,713 --> 00:19:41,948
I'M SO CLOSE TO TAKING A HIT OF

736
00:19:41,948 --> 00:19:43,783
THESE POPPERS, YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

737
00:19:43,783 --> 00:19:44,517
BUT HE'S MADE SO MANY CONFIDENT

738
00:19:44,517 --> 00:19:46,286
ASSERTIONS THERE, AND IF YOU

739
00:19:46,286 --> 00:19:48,221
LEAVE EVEN ONE UNCHALLENGED,

740
00:19:48,221 --> 00:19:48,855
PEOPLE WILL THINK, "WELL, MAYBE

741
00:19:48,855 --> 00:19:54,327
THERE'S SOMETHING TO IT."

742
00:19:54,327 --> 00:19:54,794
SO WITH THAT IN MIND.

743
00:19:54,794 --> 00:19:55,428
FIRST: PROZAC HIT THE MARKET IN

744
00:19:55,428 --> 00:19:56,262
1988, AND AS YOU PROBABLY

745
00:19:56,262 --> 00:19:56,896
ALREADY KNOW: THERE WERE TONS OF

746
00:19:56,896 --> 00:19:58,398
SHOOTINGS AND MASS SHOOTINGS

747
00:19:58,398 --> 00:20:02,002
BEFORE THEN, INCLUDING AT

748
00:20:02,002 --> 00:20:02,569
SCHOOLS.

749
00:20:02,569 --> 00:20:03,636
AS FOR THE CLAIM "OTHER

750
00:20:03,636 --> 00:20:05,238
COUNTRIES HAVE AS MANY GUNS AS

751
00:20:05,238 --> 00:20:06,906
WE DO," THEY JUST DON'T.

752
00:20:06,906 --> 00:20:08,675
US CIVILIANS HAVE THE HIGHEST

753
00:20:08,675 --> 00:20:09,843
RATE OF GUN OWNERSHIP IN THE

754
00:20:09,843 --> 00:20:10,443
WORLD BY A FACTOR OF MORE THAN

755
00:20:10,443 --> 00:20:10,944
TWO.

756
00:20:10,944 --> 00:20:12,212
AND AS FOR LINKING SCHOOL

757
00:20:12,212 --> 00:20:15,382
SHOOTINGS TO "THE AMOUNT OF

758
00:20:15,382 --> 00:20:16,816
PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS OUR CHILDREN

759
00:20:16,816 --> 00:20:19,486
ARE TAKING," RESEARCHERS HAVEN'T

760
00:20:19,486 --> 00:20:20,820
FOUND ANY LINK BETWEEN

761
00:20:20,820 --> 00:20:21,921
ANTIDEPRESSANTS AND SCHOOL

762
00:20:21,921 --> 00:20:22,188
SHOOTINGS.

763
00:20:22,188 --> 00:20:23,890
IN FACT, ONE STUDY FOUND THAT

764
00:20:23,890 --> 00:20:24,657
OVER 87% OF THE SECONDARY SCHOOL

765
00:20:24,657 --> 00:20:25,291
SHOOTERS IT SAMPLED WERE NOT ON

766
00:20:25,291 --> 00:20:26,192
PSYCHIATRIC MEDICATIONS AT THE

767
00:20:26,192 --> 00:20:27,494
TIME OF THEIR ATTACKS.

768
00:20:27,494 --> 00:20:28,128
SO MULTIPLE FACTS THERE ARE JUST

769
00:20:28,128 --> 00:20:29,062
PLAIN WRONG, DESPITE HOW

770
00:20:29,062 --> 00:20:32,232
CONFIDENTLY HE JUST SPEWED THEM

771
00:20:32,232 --> 00:20:32,499
OUT THERE.

772
00:20:32,499 --> 00:20:33,066
HE COULD JUST AS EASILY HAVE

773
00:20:33,066 --> 00:20:34,000
POINTED OUT THE LINK BETWEEN

774
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:34,534
SCHOOL SHOOTERS AND MILK.

775
00:20:34,534 --> 00:20:35,135
BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?

776
00:20:35,135 --> 00:20:36,069
A SHOCKING NUMBER HAVE

777
00:20:36,069 --> 00:20:38,138
ABOVE-AVERAGE DAIRY INTAKE.

778
00:20:38,138 --> 00:20:38,738
AND ICE CREAM, IN PARTICULAR,

779
00:20:38,738 --> 00:20:40,073
MAY CONTAIN NEUROGLYCERIDES THAT

780
00:20:40,073 --> 00:20:41,408
INITIATE PSYCHOPATHIC BEHAVIOR.

781
00:20:41,408 --> 00:20:44,678
EXCEPT NONE OF THAT'S TRUE, I

782
00:20:44,678 --> 00:20:45,245
JUST MADE ALL THAT SHIT UP.

783
00:20:45,245 --> 00:20:46,179
NEUROGLYCERIDES ISN'T EVEN A

784
00:20:46,179 --> 00:20:46,646
WORD.

785
00:20:46,646 --> 00:20:47,781
AND LACTOSE QUARTERLY ISN'T A

786
00:20:47,781 --> 00:20:51,751
MAGAZINE.

787
00:20:51,751 --> 00:20:52,385
BUT IT SHOWS JUST HOW EASY IT IS

788
00:20:52,385 --> 00:20:55,021
TO REEL PEOPLE IN WHEN YOU'RE

789
00:20:55,021 --> 00:20:58,558
SPOUTING SELF-ASSURED BULLSHIT

790
00:20:58,558 --> 00:20:59,125
ON AN UNCHALLENGED PLATFORM.

791
00:20:59,125 --> 00:20:59,759
AND IF YOU'RE NOTICING A PATTERN

792
00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:00,326
HERE-- THAT RFK WILL FIND A

793
00:21:00,326 --> 00:21:01,127
PROBLEM, AND THEN WORK BACKWARDS

794
00:21:01,127 --> 00:21:03,196
TO POINT AT A BIG, POWERFUL

795
00:21:03,196 --> 00:21:03,797
ENTITY PULLING THE STRINGS--

796
00:21:03,797 --> 00:21:07,233
THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT HE'S DONE

797
00:21:07,233 --> 00:21:09,803
WITH VACCINES.

798
00:21:09,803 --> 00:21:10,737
ALTHOUGH, AGAIN: HE'LL DENY

799
00:21:10,737 --> 00:21:13,506
THAT, INSISTING HE'S NOT

800
00:21:13,506 --> 00:21:13,873
ANTI-VAX AT ALL.

801
00:21:13,873 --> 00:21:14,474
HERE HE IS MAKING THAT POINT,

802
00:21:14,474 --> 00:21:17,744
UNDER OATH, BEFORE CONGRESS.

803
00:21:17,744 --> 00:21:18,745
I HAVE NEVER BEEN ANTI-VAX.

804
00:21:18,745 --> 00:21:19,713
I HAVE NEVER TOLD ANYBODY-- I

805
00:21:19,713 --> 00:21:20,347
HAVE NEVER TOLD THE PUBLIC AVOID

806
00:21:20,347 --> 00:21:21,014
VACCINATION.

807
00:21:21,014 --> 00:21:22,916
THE ONLY THING I'VE ASKED FOR,

808
00:21:22,916 --> 00:21:25,985
AND MY VIEWS ARE CONSTANTLY

809
00:21:25,985 --> 00:21:26,553
MISREPRESENTED, SO THAT THE

810
00:21:26,553 --> 00:21:30,990
TRUTH OF WHAT I BELIEVE IS NOT

811
00:21:30,990 --> 00:21:31,925
ALLOWED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION

812
00:21:31,925 --> 00:21:32,459
WITH-- ABOUT THE AMERICAN

813
00:21:32,459 --> 00:21:39,532
PEOPLE, WHICH I BELIEVE VACCINES

814
00:21:39,766 --> 00:21:41,434
SHOULD BE TESTED WITH THE SAME

815
00:21:41,434 --> 00:21:43,636
RIGOR AS OTHER MEDICINES AND

816
00:21:43,636 --> 00:21:45,105
MEDICATIONS.

817
00:21:45,105 --> 00:21:45,705
John: YEAH, THAT'S A PRETTY

818
00:21:45,705 --> 00:21:49,609
VEHEMENT DENIAL.

819
00:21:49,609 --> 00:21:50,243
AND, QUICK SHOUT OUT TO THE GUY

820
00:21:50,243 --> 00:21:50,810
RECORDING THAT LIKE IT'S HIS

821
00:21:50,810 --> 00:21:51,478
KID'S DANCE RECITAL.

822
00:21:51,478 --> 00:21:52,078
WHEN ARE YOU GONNA WATCH THIS

823
00:21:52,078 --> 00:21:52,612
THING, DUDE?

824
00:21:52,612 --> 00:21:53,680
YOU DO KNOW THERE ARE OTHER

825
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,517
CAMERAS RECORDING THIS, RIGHT?

826
00:21:57,517 --> 00:21:58,151
BUT HERE'S THE THING-- REMEMBER

827
00:21:58,151 --> 00:22:01,087
WHEN I SAID KENNEDY GOES ON A

828
00:22:01,087 --> 00:22:04,290
LOT OF PODCASTS, AND CAN SOUND

829
00:22:04,290 --> 00:22:04,758
REASONABLE?

830
00:22:04,758 --> 00:22:08,228
HE GOES ON A BUNCH OF FRINGEY

831
00:22:08,228 --> 00:22:09,295
ONES, TOO.

832
00:22:09,295 --> 00:22:09,829
AND WHEN ADDRESSING THOSE

833
00:22:09,829 --> 00:22:10,397
AUDIENCES, SENDS OUT A VERY

834
00:22:10,397 --> 00:22:11,498
DIFFERENT MESSAGE-- LIKE ON

835
00:22:11,498 --> 00:22:12,032
THIS ONE, THREE YEARS AGO.

836
00:22:12,032 --> 00:22:13,133
OUR JOB IS TO RESIST AND TO

837
00:22:13,133 --> 00:22:13,733
TALK ABOUT IT WITH EVERYBODY.

838
00:22:13,733 --> 00:22:15,168
I SEE SOMEBODY ON A HIKING TRAIL

839
00:22:15,168 --> 00:22:16,603
CARRYING A LITTLE BABY AND I SAY

840
00:22:16,603 --> 00:22:17,103
TO THEM, DON'T GET THEM

841
00:22:17,103 --> 00:22:19,372
VACCINATED.

842
00:22:19,372 --> 00:22:22,075
HE HEARD THAT FROM ME.

843
00:22:22,075 --> 00:22:23,543
IF HE HEARS IT FROM 10 OTHER

844
00:22:23,543 --> 00:22:25,945
PEOPLE, MAYBE HE WON'T DO IT.

845
00:22:25,945 --> 00:22:27,247
YOU KNOW, MAYBE HE WILL-- MAYBE

846
00:22:27,247 --> 00:22:28,548
HE WILL SAVE THAT CHILD.

847
00:22:28,548 --> 00:22:30,083
WHEN THEY HEAR THAT FROM 10

848
00:22:30,083 --> 00:22:30,717
PEOPLE, IT'LL MAKE AN IMPRESSION

849
00:22:30,717 --> 00:22:32,952
ON 'EM.

850
00:22:32,952 --> 00:22:34,754
YOU KNOW, AND IF WE ALL KEPT OUR

851
00:22:34,754 --> 00:22:35,321
MOUTHS SHUT, DON'T KEEP YOUR

852
00:22:35,321 --> 00:22:37,090
MOUTH SHUT ANYMORE.

853
00:22:37,090 --> 00:22:38,925
CONFRONT EVERYBODY ON IT.

854
00:22:38,925 --> 00:22:39,726
I LOVE THAT.

855
00:22:39,726 --> 00:22:40,627
I LOVE IT.

856
00:22:40,627 --> 00:22:42,062
THANK YOU.

857
00:22:42,062 --> 00:22:43,329
John: "I LOVE THAT.

858
00:22:43,329 --> 00:22:44,964
I LOVE IT."

859
00:22:44,964 --> 00:22:46,399
I HAVE TO SAY: THAT'S EXACTLY

860
00:22:46,399 --> 00:22:48,401
THE KIND OF PERSON I'D EXPECT TO

861
00:22:48,401 --> 00:22:49,002
BE CO-HOSTING AN ANTI-VACCINE

862
00:22:49,002 --> 00:22:49,903
PODCAST.

863
00:22:49,903 --> 00:22:51,171
THE SORT OF PERSON YOU'D EXPECT

864
00:22:51,171 --> 00:22:52,305
TO SEE WALKING AROUND A GROCERY

865
00:22:52,305 --> 00:22:54,007
STORE DURING A COVID SURGE,

866
00:22:54,007 --> 00:22:54,607
LICKING EVERYTHING TO "FORTIFY

867
00:22:54,607 --> 00:22:56,176
HER IMMUNE SYSTEM."

868
00:22:56,176 --> 00:22:57,110
BUT I ONLY SAY THAT BECAUSE SHE

869
00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:58,812
ACTUALLY DID THAT, AND POSTED IT

870
00:22:58,812 --> 00:22:59,446
TO INSTAGRAM, BECAUSE OF COURSE

871
00:22:59,446 --> 00:23:02,449
SHE DID.

872
00:23:02,449 --> 00:23:03,616
BUT ALSO, YOU DON'T GET TO SAY

873
00:23:03,616 --> 00:23:04,818
"I'M NOT ANTI-VAX" AND THEN

874
00:23:04,818 --> 00:23:07,020
WANDER AROUND THE WOODS TELLING

875
00:23:07,020 --> 00:23:07,620
PEOPLE TO NOT VACCINATE THEIR

876
00:23:07,620 --> 00:23:09,422
BABIES LIKE YOU'RE SOME

877
00:23:09,422 --> 00:23:10,056
RED-PILLED VERSION OF SMOKEY THE

878
00:23:10,056 --> 00:23:11,424
BEAR.

879
00:23:11,424 --> 00:23:13,326
WHO I'M REALIZING IS CLEARLY

880
00:23:13,326 --> 00:23:14,494
WHERE YOU GET YOUR WORKOUT

881
00:23:14,494 --> 00:23:17,530
WARDROBE INSPIRATION FROM.

882
00:23:17,530 --> 00:23:18,064
OVER THE YEARS, KENNEDY'S

883
00:23:18,064 --> 00:23:18,932
PROMOTED A NUMBER OF THEORIES

884
00:23:18,932 --> 00:23:19,666
ABOUT VACCINES, INCLUDING HOW

885
00:23:19,666 --> 00:23:21,968
THEY SUPPOSEDLY CAUSE AUTISM.

886
00:23:21,968 --> 00:23:25,005
WE'VE DISCUSSED HIS CLAIM THAT A

887
00:23:25,005 --> 00:23:27,640
PRESERVATIVE CAUSED THIMEROSAL

888
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:28,208
WAS LINKED TO AUTISM IN OUR

889
00:23:28,208 --> 00:23:29,142
PIECE ON VACCINES SEVERAL YEARS

890
00:23:29,142 --> 00:23:29,943
AGO.

891
00:23:29,943 --> 00:23:31,611
NOT ONLY IS IT BULLSHIT,

892
00:23:31,611 --> 00:23:32,245
THIMEROSAL HASN'T BEEN IN

893
00:23:32,245 --> 00:23:33,847
CHILDREN'S VACCINES SINCE 2001,

894
00:23:33,847 --> 00:23:35,548
EXCEPT FOR THE FLU VACCINE, AND

895
00:23:35,548 --> 00:23:36,316
EVEN THEN, THERE WAS, AND

896
00:23:36,316 --> 00:23:38,518
REMAINS, A VERSION WITHOUT

897
00:23:38,518 --> 00:23:39,085
THIMEROSAL IN IT.

898
00:23:39,085 --> 00:23:40,053
BUT KENNEDY PARLAYED THE INITIAL

899
00:23:40,053 --> 00:23:41,788
PANIC HE HELPED CAUSE INTO

900
00:23:41,788 --> 00:23:43,023
FOUNDING THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH

901
00:23:43,023 --> 00:23:44,424
DEFENSE, ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S

902
00:23:44,424 --> 00:23:44,858
LEADING ANTI-VACCINE

903
00:23:44,858 --> 00:23:46,359
ORGANIZATIONS.

904
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:46,993
AND HE'S CONTINUED TO FEARMONGER

905
00:23:46,993 --> 00:23:49,696
ABOUT A CONNECTION BETWEEN

906
00:23:49,696 --> 00:23:50,230
THIMEROSAL AND AUTISM EVER

907
00:23:50,230 --> 00:23:52,399
SINCE.

908
00:23:52,399 --> 00:23:53,933
IN 2015, HE SAID OF KIDS GETTING

909
00:23:53,933 --> 00:23:55,335
VACCINATED, "THEY GET THE SHOT,

910
00:23:55,335 --> 00:23:56,403
THAT NIGHT THEY HAVE A FEVER OF

911
00:23:56,403 --> 00:23:57,871
A HUNDRED AND THREE, THEY GO TO

912
00:23:57,871 --> 00:23:58,972
SLEEP, AND THREE MONTHS LATER

913
00:23:58,972 --> 00:24:01,808
THEIR BRAIN IS GONE...

914
00:24:01,808 --> 00:24:03,209
THIS IS A HOLOCAUST, WHAT THIS

915
00:24:03,209 --> 00:24:05,645
IS DOING TO OUR COUNTRY."

916
00:24:05,645 --> 00:24:06,346
WHICH IS CLEARLY ABSURD.

917
00:24:06,346 --> 00:24:09,049
A VACCINE CAN'T MAKE SOMEONE'S

918
00:24:09,049 --> 00:24:12,519
BRAIN GO AWAY, ALTHOUGH I'M

919
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:13,119
INCREASINGLY BELIEVING THAT A

920
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,354
DEAD WORM MIGHT BE ABLE TO.

921
00:24:14,354 --> 00:24:16,389
AND IF YOU'RE NOTICING A CERTAIN

922
00:24:16,389 --> 00:24:17,190
CRUELTY IN HOW KENNEDY TENDS TO

923
00:24:17,190 --> 00:24:17,891
TALK ABOUT AUTISTIC PEOPLE,

924
00:24:17,891 --> 00:24:19,459
YOU'RE NOT WRONG.

925
00:24:19,459 --> 00:24:20,960
IT GOES WELL BEYOND THE ANTI-VAX

926
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,363
COMMUNITY'S GENERAL GROSS

927
00:24:23,363 --> 00:24:23,997
TENDENCY TO IMPLY THEY'D RATHER

928
00:24:23,997 --> 00:24:24,698
HAVE A KID DIE FROM POLIO OR

929
00:24:24,698 --> 00:24:25,899
MEASLES THAN BE DIAGNOSED WITH

930
00:24:25,899 --> 00:24:28,301
AUTISM.

931
00:24:28,301 --> 00:24:30,170
JUST LISTEN TO HIM HERE.

932
00:24:30,170 --> 00:24:30,704
I BET YOU'VE NEVER MET

933
00:24:30,704 --> 00:24:33,073
ANYBODY WITH FULL BLOWN AUTISM

934
00:24:33,073 --> 00:24:34,007
YOUR AGE.

935
00:24:34,007 --> 00:24:35,175
YOU KNOW, HEADBANGING, FOOTBALL

936
00:24:35,175 --> 00:24:37,977
OR A HELMET ON, NON-TOILET

937
00:24:37,977 --> 00:24:39,679
TRAINED, NONVERBAL.

938
00:24:39,679 --> 00:24:41,948
I MEAN, I'VE NEVER MET ANYBODY

939
00:24:41,948 --> 00:24:43,917
LIKE THAT MY AGE, BUT IN MY KIDS

940
00:24:43,917 --> 00:24:46,119
AGE NOW, ONE IN EVERY 34 KIDS

941
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,521
HAS AUTISM AND HALF OF THOSE ARE

942
00:24:48,521 --> 00:24:50,056
FULL BLOWN MEANING THAT

943
00:24:50,056 --> 00:24:51,958
DESCRIPTION.

944
00:24:51,958 --> 00:24:52,592
John: OKAY, FIRST, IF THERE'S

945
00:24:52,592 --> 00:24:57,297
LIMITED VARIETY IN THE PEOPLE

946
00:24:57,297 --> 00:24:57,931
YOU'VE MET YOUR AGE, MAYBE IT'S

947
00:24:57,931 --> 00:24:58,898
BECAUSE YOU ONLY EVER HUNG OUT

948
00:24:58,898 --> 00:24:59,532
WITH THE SAME CIRCLE OF FIVE OR

949
00:24:59,532 --> 00:25:00,166
SIX SEX OFFENDERS OR MURDERERS,

950
00:25:00,166 --> 00:25:01,801
I DON'T KNOW.

951
00:25:01,801 --> 00:25:03,570
I'M JUST ASKING QUESTIONS.

952
00:25:03,570 --> 00:25:05,005
AND I COULD TALK ABOUT THE

953
00:25:05,005 --> 00:25:06,139
HISTORY OF AUTISM DIAGNOSES, AND

954
00:25:06,139 --> 00:25:06,940
HOW THEY'RE STILL SO NEW, THE

955
00:25:06,940 --> 00:25:08,742
FIRST PERSON TO BE GIVEN ONE

956
00:25:08,742 --> 00:25:10,276
DIED JUST LAST YEAR.

957
00:25:10,276 --> 00:25:12,879
I COULD TALK ABOUT AUTISTIC

958
00:25:12,879 --> 00:25:14,180
PEOPLE WERE LONG MISUNDERSTOOD

959
00:25:14,180 --> 00:25:14,647
AND INSTITUTIONALIZED.

960
00:25:14,647 --> 00:25:15,515
I COULD ALSO THROW IN THAT

961
00:25:15,515 --> 00:25:16,349
THERE'S DEFINITELY NO SUCH

962
00:25:16,349 --> 00:25:16,850
DIAGNOSIS AS "FULL-BLOWN

963
00:25:16,850 --> 00:25:18,418
AUTISM."

964
00:25:18,418 --> 00:25:21,588
OR YOU KNOW WHAT?

965
00:25:21,588 --> 00:25:22,188
I COULD JUST LET THIS GUY WITH

966
00:25:22,188 --> 00:25:23,189
AUTISM POINT OUT THAT JUST

967
00:25:23,189 --> 00:25:24,624
BECAUSE RFK DIDN'T KNOW ANYONE

968
00:25:24,624 --> 00:25:25,859
WITH AUTISM, DIDN'T MEAN THEY

969
00:25:25,859 --> 00:25:27,927
DIDN'T EXIST, IN THE MOST

970
00:25:27,927 --> 00:25:31,231
DELICIOUSLY DERISIVE WAY.

971
00:25:31,231 --> 00:25:33,867
FUCKING MOUNT EVEREST WASN'T

972
00:25:33,867 --> 00:25:35,135
DISCOVERED UNTIL 1852 BUT I'M

973
00:25:35,135 --> 00:25:40,273
PRETTY SURE IT WAS STILL THERE.

974
00:25:40,273 --> 00:25:42,008
ALSO, YEAH LIKE ALL THOSE

975
00:25:42,008 --> 00:25:44,344
FUCKING OLD GRANDPAS WITH LIKE A

976
00:25:44,344 --> 00:25:47,580
GIANT ASS TRAIN COLLECTION, YOU

977
00:25:47,580 --> 00:25:50,316
DON'T THINK THEY'RE JUST A

978
00:25:50,316 --> 00:25:50,884
LITTLE BIT ON THE SPECTRUM?

979
00:25:50,884 --> 00:25:53,019
JUST A TEENY WEENY?

980
00:25:53,019 --> 00:25:55,555
FUCKIN', GOD, CONSPIRACY

981
00:25:55,555 --> 00:25:59,526
THEORISTS ARE THE DUMBEST PEOPLE

982
00:25:59,526 --> 00:26:02,762
ON THE PLANET BAR NONE.

983
00:26:02,762 --> 00:26:03,596
John: YEAH.

984
00:26:03,596 --> 00:26:04,431
I HONESTLY CAN'T PUT IT MUCH

985
00:26:04,431 --> 00:26:05,498
BETTER THAN THAT.

986
00:26:05,498 --> 00:26:07,133
AND LOOK, RFK WILL INSIST HE

987
00:26:07,133 --> 00:26:08,468
JUST WANTS VACCINES TO BE TESTED

988
00:26:08,468 --> 00:26:10,370
FOR SAFETY AND EFFICACY, BUT AS

989
00:26:10,370 --> 00:26:11,705
WE'VE SAID BEFORE: THEY HAVE

990
00:26:11,705 --> 00:26:13,673
BEEN, AND REPEATEDLY.

991
00:26:13,673 --> 00:26:14,274
NOT ONLY ARE VACCINES ALREADY

992
00:26:14,274 --> 00:26:18,111
HELD TO A HIGHER SAFETY STANDARD

993
00:26:18,111 --> 00:26:19,179
THAN OTHER MEDICATIONS--

994
00:26:19,179 --> 00:26:20,013
THOUSANDS OF STUDIES HAVE FOUND

995
00:26:20,013 --> 00:26:21,047
THEY'RE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE.

996
00:26:21,047 --> 00:26:22,315
INCLUDING A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF

997
00:26:22,315 --> 00:26:23,550
OVER 160 STUDIES ON VACCINE

998
00:26:23,550 --> 00:26:24,684
SAFETY THAT FOUND ANY SERIOUS

999
00:26:24,684 --> 00:26:26,820
ADVERSE REACTIONS WERE

1000
00:26:26,820 --> 00:26:27,487
"EXTREMELY RARE."

1001
00:26:27,487 --> 00:26:28,988
YOU COULD ALSO LOOK AT THIS

1002
00:26:28,988 --> 00:26:30,623
STUDY OF OVER 650,000 CHILDREN

1003
00:26:30,623 --> 00:26:31,491
BORN IN DENMARK-- SOME

1004
00:26:31,491 --> 00:26:33,660
VACCINATED, SOME NOT-- WHICH

1005
00:26:33,660 --> 00:26:34,761
CONCLUDES THAT MMR VACCINATION

1006
00:26:34,761 --> 00:26:36,029
DOES NOT INCREASE THE RISK FOR

1007
00:26:36,029 --> 00:26:38,665
AUTISM, OR THIS META-REVIEW OF

1008
00:26:38,665 --> 00:26:40,567
10 STUDIES INVOLVING OVER 1.25

1009
00:26:40,567 --> 00:26:41,701
MILLION CHILDREN, WHICH ALSO

1010
00:26:41,701 --> 00:26:42,635
REVEALED NO RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN

1011
00:26:42,635 --> 00:26:45,205
VACCINATION AND AUTISM.

1012
00:26:45,205 --> 00:26:45,839
THERE ARE SO MANY EXAMPLES LIKE

1013
00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:47,173
THIS, AND IT'S WHY EXPERTS WILL

1014
00:26:47,173 --> 00:26:48,541
TELL YOU THAT A PERSON'S CHANCE

1015
00:26:48,541 --> 00:26:49,976
OF HAVING A BAD REACTION TO A

1016
00:26:49,976 --> 00:26:51,244
VACCINE IS ABOUT ONE IN A

1017
00:26:51,244 --> 00:26:52,746
MILLION.

1018
00:26:52,746 --> 00:26:53,279
AS ONE EXPERT WE SPOKE TO

1019
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:57,250
POINTED OUT, GIVEN WE HAVE OVER

1020
00:26:57,250 --> 00:26:57,884
40,000 DEATHS BY CAR ACCIDENT IN

1021
00:26:57,884 --> 00:26:59,786
THE U.S. PER YEAR, THE MOST

1022
00:26:59,786 --> 00:27:02,055
DANGEROUS ASPECT OF VACCINATING

1023
00:27:02,055 --> 00:27:02,689
CHILDREN IS DRIVING TO THE

1024
00:27:02,689 --> 00:27:04,891
DOCTOR'S OFFICE TO GET THEM.

1025
00:27:04,891 --> 00:27:05,892
ESPECIALLY, BY THE WAY, IF THE

1026
00:27:05,892 --> 00:27:07,527
KIDS ARE SINGING "BABY SHARK"

1027
00:27:07,527 --> 00:27:10,997
THE WHOLE TIME.

1028
00:27:10,997 --> 00:27:11,531
BECAUSE THAT WILL MAKE YOU

1029
00:27:11,531 --> 00:27:12,632
DRIVE OFF A CLIFF.

1030
00:27:12,632 --> 00:27:13,199
AND I KNOW THIS CAN ALL SEEM

1031
00:27:13,199 --> 00:27:14,601
VERY ABSTRACT.

1032
00:27:14,601 --> 00:27:15,602
BUT THE THING IS, KENNEDY'S

1033
00:27:15,602 --> 00:27:17,671
IDEAS HAVE BEEN PUT TO THE TEST

1034
00:27:17,671 --> 00:27:19,205
IN THE REAL WORLD, SOMETIMES

1035
00:27:19,205 --> 00:27:21,508
WITH HIDEOUS CONSEQUENCES.

1036
00:27:21,508 --> 00:27:22,942
TAKE WHAT HAPPENED IN SAMOA.

1037
00:27:22,942 --> 00:27:25,979
IN 2018, THERE WAS A HORRIBLE

1038
00:27:25,979 --> 00:27:26,613
ACCIDENT, WHEN TWO CHILDREN DIED

1039
00:27:26,613 --> 00:27:28,915
FROM A MEASLES VACCINE THAT TWO

1040
00:27:28,915 --> 00:27:30,850
NURSES HAD INCORRECTLY MIXED

1041
00:27:30,850 --> 00:27:34,821
WITH A MUSCLE RELAXANT.

1042
00:27:34,821 --> 00:27:35,422
IT WAS AWFUL, BUT IT WAS HUMAN

1043
00:27:35,422 --> 00:27:35,855
ERROR.

1044
00:27:35,855 --> 00:27:41,127
NEVERTHELESS, THE ANTI-VAX

1045
00:27:41,127 --> 00:27:41,728
MOVEMENT SEIZED ON THE SUDDEN

1046
00:27:41,728 --> 00:27:42,362
FEAR OF VACCINES THERE, AND THE

1047
00:27:42,362 --> 00:27:43,496
FOLLOWING YEAR, KENNEDY VISITED

1048
00:27:43,496 --> 00:27:44,130
SAMOA, IN A TRIP ARRANGED BY A

1049
00:27:44,130 --> 00:27:44,831
LOCAL ANTI-VACCINE INFLUENCER.

1050
00:27:44,831 --> 00:27:46,032
THERE, HE MET WITH OTHER

1051
00:27:46,032 --> 00:27:46,966
ANTI-VACCINE ACTIVISTS,

1052
00:27:46,966 --> 00:27:48,935
INCLUDING ONE WHO WROTE THAT THE

1053
00:27:48,935 --> 00:27:49,436
MEETING WAS "PROFOUNDLY

1054
00:27:49,436 --> 00:27:50,437
MONUMENTAL ...

1055
00:27:50,437 --> 00:27:51,104
FOR THIS MOVEMENT."

1056
00:27:51,104 --> 00:27:52,539
HE EVEN MET WITH THE PRIME

1057
00:27:52,539 --> 00:27:54,074
MINISTER, WITH WHOM HE DISCUSSED

1058
00:27:54,074 --> 00:27:57,877
VACCINES, IN HIS WORDS, "A

1059
00:27:57,877 --> 00:27:58,445
LIMITED AMOUNT."

1060
00:27:58,445 --> 00:27:59,045
AND WHEN, A FEW MONTHS LATER,

1061
00:27:59,045 --> 00:27:59,679
THERE WAS A MEASLES OUTBREAK IN

1062
00:27:59,679 --> 00:28:00,413
SAMOA, RFK WROTE A FOUR-PAGE

1063
00:28:00,413 --> 00:28:01,781
LETTER TO THE PRIME MINISTER IN

1064
00:28:01,781 --> 00:28:03,116
WHICH HE SUGGESTED THE MEASLES

1065
00:28:03,116 --> 00:28:04,417
VACCINE ITSELF MIGHT BE THE TRUE

1066
00:28:04,417 --> 00:28:06,753
CAUSE OF THE CRISIS.

1067
00:28:06,753 --> 00:28:09,622
IN THE END, THAT OUTBREAK KILLED

1068
00:28:09,622 --> 00:28:10,790
83 PEOPLE, MOSTLY INFANTS AND

1069
00:28:10,790 --> 00:28:11,891
CHILDREN, IN LARGE PART DUE TO

1070
00:28:11,891 --> 00:28:13,760
THEIR LACK OF VACCINATIONS-- AN

1071
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,028
OUTBREAK KENNEDY LATER REFERRED

1072
00:28:15,028 --> 00:28:17,464
TO AS "MILD."

1073
00:28:17,464 --> 00:28:18,064
AND WHEN CONFRONTED ABOUT ALL

1074
00:28:18,064 --> 00:28:20,066
THIS, HE'S QUICK TO TRY AND

1075
00:28:20,066 --> 00:28:22,168
DISTANCE HIMSELF.

1076
00:28:22,168 --> 00:28:22,769
YEAH I'M AWARE THERE WAS A

1077
00:28:22,769 --> 00:28:24,270
MEASLES OUTBREAK BUT I DIDN'T

1078
00:28:24,270 --> 00:28:26,206
HAVE ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, I HAVE

1079
00:28:26,206 --> 00:28:31,678
NOTHING TO DO WITH WITH PEOPLE

1080
00:28:31,678 --> 00:28:32,212
NOT VACCINATING IN SAMOA.

1081
00:28:32,212 --> 00:28:33,213
I NEVER TOLD ANYBODY NOT TO

1082
00:28:33,213 --> 00:28:35,248
VACCINATE.

1083
00:28:35,248 --> 00:28:36,750
I DIDN'T, YOU KNOW, GO THERE FOR

1084
00:28:36,750 --> 00:28:37,751
ANY REASON TO DO WITH THAT.

1085
00:28:37,751 --> 00:28:39,252
John: GOT IT!

1086
00:28:39,252 --> 00:28:40,887
SO YOU JUST POPPED IN TO ONE OF

1087
00:28:40,887 --> 00:28:41,755
THE MOST REMOTE COUNTRIES ON

1088
00:28:41,755 --> 00:28:43,156
EARTH, AND JUST HAPPENED TO

1089
00:28:43,156 --> 00:28:43,690
ENCOUNTER ALL YOUR ANTIVAX

1090
00:28:43,690 --> 00:28:45,225
BUDDIES ALONG THE WAY.

1091
00:28:45,225 --> 00:28:47,060
IT'S THE ULTIMATE CONSPIRACIST

1092
00:28:47,060 --> 00:28:49,362
CODE: NOTHING IS A COINCIDENCE

1093
00:28:49,362 --> 00:28:52,665
EXCEPT WHEN I DO IT."

1094
00:28:52,665 --> 00:28:53,566
AND LOOK, ON SOME LEVEL, I DO

1095
00:28:53,566 --> 00:28:55,802
GET WHY PEOPLE ARE DRAWN TO RFK.

1096
00:28:55,802 --> 00:28:57,404
THERE'S AN EARNED DISTRUST OF

1097
00:28:57,404 --> 00:28:58,772
BIG PHARMA, AND MEDICAL

1098
00:28:58,772 --> 00:29:00,507
AUTHORITIES.

1099
00:29:00,507 --> 00:29:01,074
AND ILLNESS AND DISEASE ARE

1100
00:29:01,074 --> 00:29:02,575
SCARY.

1101
00:29:02,575 --> 00:29:03,143
KENNEDY'S EXPLANATIONS-- AS

1102
00:29:03,143 --> 00:29:04,444
BULLSHIT AS THEY MAY BE-- CAN

1103
00:29:04,444 --> 00:29:05,812
ALMOST BE COMFORTING AT A

1104
00:29:05,812 --> 00:29:07,080
FRIGHTENING TIME.

1105
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,682
THAT'S AN ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH

1106
00:29:08,682 --> 00:29:11,651
HE THRIVES.

1107
00:29:11,651 --> 00:29:12,185
AND IT MAY EXPLAIN WHY HIS

1108
00:29:12,185 --> 00:29:15,588
POPULARITY TOOK OFF DURING THE

1109
00:29:15,588 --> 00:29:15,955
COVID PANDEMIC.

1110
00:29:15,955 --> 00:29:17,023
THERE WAS A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY

1111
00:29:17,023 --> 00:29:17,857
BACK THEN, AND MEDICAL EXPERTS

1112
00:29:17,857 --> 00:29:18,391
WERE UNDERSTANDABLY MAKING

1113
00:29:18,391 --> 00:29:18,992
MISTAKES AND LEARNING IN REAL

1114
00:29:18,992 --> 00:29:20,460
TIME.

1115
00:29:20,460 --> 00:29:22,062
KENNEDY SAW THAT, AND POUNCED.

1116
00:29:22,062 --> 00:29:23,530
HE TOOK A LOT OF BIG SWINGS,

1117
00:29:23,530 --> 00:29:24,931
INCLUDING WRITING A BOOK IN

1118
00:29:24,931 --> 00:29:26,332
WHICH HE CLAIMED FAUCI WAS USING

1119
00:29:26,332 --> 00:29:28,601
COVID TO EXECUTE A HISTORIC COUP

1120
00:29:28,601 --> 00:29:29,569
D'ETAT AGAINST WESTERN

1121
00:29:29,569 --> 00:29:30,570
DEMOCRACY.

1122
00:29:30,570 --> 00:29:34,607
AND ONCE AGAIN, HIS "JUST ASKING

1123
00:29:34,607 --> 00:29:35,208
QUESTIONS" CAUSED REAL HARM TO

1124
00:29:35,208 --> 00:29:38,078
REAL PEOPLE.

1125
00:29:38,078 --> 00:29:38,712
FOR EXAMPLE: HE PUSHED THE IDEA

1126
00:29:38,712 --> 00:29:39,245
THAT THE COVID VACCINE WAS

1127
00:29:39,245 --> 00:29:41,915
DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY TO YOUNG

1128
00:29:41,915 --> 00:29:42,449
PEOPLE-- EVEN WRITING THE

1129
00:29:42,449 --> 00:29:43,350
FOREWORD TO THIS BOOK CALLED

1130
00:29:43,350 --> 00:29:44,617
"CAUSE UNKNOWN: THE EPIDEMIC OF

1131
00:29:44,617 --> 00:29:47,987
SUDDEN DEATHS IN 2021 & 2022," A

1132
00:29:47,987 --> 00:29:48,655
COMPILATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE

1133
00:29:48,655 --> 00:29:49,989
WHO'D DIED SUDDENLY, HEAVILY

1134
00:29:49,989 --> 00:29:51,891
IMPLYING THEIR DEATHS WERE

1135
00:29:51,891 --> 00:29:53,593
CAUSED BY THE VACCINE.

1136
00:29:53,593 --> 00:29:55,995
AND LOOK, IT'S TRUE THAT A VERY

1137
00:29:55,995 --> 00:29:57,564
FEW YOUNG PEOPLE REPORTED HEART

1138
00:29:57,564 --> 00:29:58,164
COMPLICATIONS AFTER RECEIVING

1139
00:29:58,164 --> 00:29:59,466
THE VACCINE, BUT NOT ONLY IS THE

1140
00:29:59,466 --> 00:30:00,767
RISK RARE, AND MOST PATIENTS

1141
00:30:00,767 --> 00:30:02,135
FELT BETTER QUICKLY, BUT

1142
00:30:02,135 --> 00:30:05,839
IMPORTANTLY, IN CHILDREN AND

1143
00:30:05,839 --> 00:30:06,406
TEENS, THE RISKS OF GETTING

1144
00:30:06,406 --> 00:30:08,541
COVID AND DEVELOPING SEVERE

1145
00:30:08,541 --> 00:30:09,109
ILLNESS THAT COULD SERIOUSLY

1146
00:30:09,109 --> 00:30:11,544
IMPACT THE HEART ARE FAR GREATER

1147
00:30:11,544 --> 00:30:12,112
THAN THE RISK OF DEVELOPING

1148
00:30:12,112 --> 00:30:14,581
POSTVACCINE HEART COMPLICATIONS.

1149
00:30:14,581 --> 00:30:15,181
NEVERTHELESS, IN THAT BOOK'S

1150
00:30:15,181 --> 00:30:16,983
FOREWORD, RFK WROTE THAT IT

1151
00:30:16,983 --> 00:30:19,619
PROVES AN UNDENIABLE AND URGENT

1152
00:30:19,619 --> 00:30:20,186
REALITY, LAID OUT WITH FACTS

1153
00:30:20,186 --> 00:30:21,588
THAT CAN BE CONFIRMED BY ANY

1154
00:30:21,588 --> 00:30:22,522
READER, POINT BY POINT, PAGE BY

1155
00:30:22,522 --> 00:30:27,460
PAGE.

1156
00:30:27,460 --> 00:30:28,028
HE EVEN WENT ON JOE ROGAN TO

1157
00:30:28,028 --> 00:30:28,561
GIVE THE BOOK A HARD SELL.

1158
00:30:28,561 --> 00:30:29,362
IT'S THE KIND OF BOOK-- IF

1159
00:30:29,362 --> 00:30:30,363
YOU HAVE A SKEPTIC AND YOU CAN

1160
00:30:30,363 --> 00:30:35,235
GET THEM TO SIT DOWN FOR 90

1161
00:30:35,235 --> 00:30:35,869
MINUTES WITH THIS BOOK WHEN THEY

1162
00:30:35,869 --> 00:30:37,437
GET UP THEY WILL UH THEY WILL

1163
00:30:37,437 --> 00:30:39,806
HAVE CONVERTED.

1164
00:30:39,806 --> 00:30:40,173
MMMM.

1165
00:30:40,173 --> 00:30:41,207
AND IT'S REALLY, IT'S

1166
00:30:41,207 --> 00:30:43,510
SICKENING.

1167
00:30:43,510 --> 00:30:44,210
I MEAN, IT'S TERRIBLE.

1168
00:30:44,210 --> 00:30:45,879
THESE, YOU KNOW, THESE BEAUTIFUL

1169
00:30:45,879 --> 00:30:46,479
CHILDREN WHO WERE DYING ON THE

1170
00:30:46,479 --> 00:30:47,147
PLAYING FIELD.

1171
00:30:47,147 --> 00:30:47,747
AND COVID WAS KILLING PEOPLE,

1172
00:30:47,747 --> 00:30:51,618
BUT IT WAS OLD PEOPLE.

1173
00:30:51,618 --> 00:30:52,752
CAUSE UNKNOWN, THE EPIDEMIC

1174
00:30:52,752 --> 00:30:54,254
OF SUDDEN DEATHS IN 2021 AND

1175
00:30:54,254 --> 00:30:55,655
2022.

1176
00:30:55,655 --> 00:30:56,122
EDWARD DOWD.

1177
00:30:56,122 --> 00:30:59,392
YEAH.

1178
00:30:59,392 --> 00:31:00,927
DIED AFTER FIRST VACCINE DOSE.

1179
00:31:00,927 --> 00:31:01,795
DIES AT HOSPITAL.

1180
00:31:01,795 --> 00:31:03,129
FOOTBALL.

1181
00:31:03,129 --> 00:31:05,231
DIED ON THE FIELD.

1182
00:31:05,231 --> 00:31:07,267
John: OKAY, SET ASIDE THAT

1183
00:31:07,267 --> 00:31:08,968
JOE ROGAN'S JUST MUTTERING

1184
00:31:08,968 --> 00:31:09,602
RANDOM WORDS OFF THE COVER WITH

1185
00:31:09,602 --> 00:31:13,340
AN ENERGY LEVEL I'D DESCRIBE AS

1186
00:31:13,340 --> 00:31:14,074
"JUST ATE A FISTFUL OF

1187
00:31:14,074 --> 00:31:15,075
MELATONIN PILLS," THAT'S A

1188
00:31:15,075 --> 00:31:15,709
PRETTY HARD SELL FROM RFK: GIVE

1189
00:31:15,709 --> 00:31:16,509
THIS BOOK TO PEOPLE FOR 90

1190
00:31:16,509 --> 00:31:16,976
MINUTES AND THEY'LL BE

1191
00:31:16,976 --> 00:31:18,912
CONVERTED.

1192
00:31:18,912 --> 00:31:21,848
BUT HERE'S THE THING.

1193
00:31:21,848 --> 00:31:22,415
THE AP FOUND THAT DOZENS OF

1194
00:31:22,415 --> 00:31:23,817
INDIVIDUALS INCLUDED IN THE BOOK

1195
00:31:23,817 --> 00:31:25,185
DIED OF KNOWN CAUSES NOT RELATED

1196
00:31:25,185 --> 00:31:27,053
TO VACCINES-- INCLUDING SUICIDE

1197
00:31:27,053 --> 00:31:28,922
AND CHOKING WHILE INTOXICATED.

1198
00:31:28,922 --> 00:31:30,190
THE BOOK EVEN INCLUDES ONE

1199
00:31:30,190 --> 00:31:32,492
PERSON WHO DIED IN 2019.

1200
00:31:32,492 --> 00:31:33,927
SO UNLESS THE HEADLINE WAS,

1201
00:31:33,927 --> 00:31:35,495
"TIME TRAVELER DIES OF COVID

1202
00:31:35,495 --> 00:31:36,596
VACCINE," THEY DON'T REALLY

1203
00:31:36,596 --> 00:31:37,664
BELONG IN THERE.

1204
00:31:37,664 --> 00:31:39,065
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL.

1205
00:31:39,065 --> 00:31:40,233
BECAUSE WHEN THE BOOK WAS FIRST

1206
00:31:40,233 --> 00:31:41,568
PRINTED, ONE OF THE KIDS ON THE

1207
00:31:41,568 --> 00:31:43,136
COVER WAS BRADEN FAHEY, WHO DIED

1208
00:31:43,136 --> 00:31:44,337
AFTER COLLAPSING DURING FOOTBALL

1209
00:31:44,337 --> 00:31:45,839
PRACTICE AT JUST 12 YEARS OLD.

1210
00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:47,574
BUT WE KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE

1211
00:31:47,574 --> 00:31:48,108
COVID VACCINE DIDN'T KILL

1212
00:31:48,108 --> 00:31:51,811
BRADEN, BECAUSE HE WASN'T

1213
00:31:51,811 --> 00:31:52,212
VACCINATED.

1214
00:31:52,212 --> 00:31:53,113
HE DIED FROM A MALFORMED BLOOD

1215
00:31:53,113 --> 00:31:54,414
VESSEL IN HIS BRAIN.

1216
00:31:54,414 --> 00:31:55,281
AND NO ONE EVER CONTACTED HIS

1217
00:31:55,281 --> 00:31:57,183
PARENTS TO ASK ABOUT THEIR SON'S

1218
00:31:57,183 --> 00:31:58,351
DEATH, OR FOR PERMISSION TO USE

1219
00:31:58,351 --> 00:31:59,819
HIS PHOTO.

1220
00:31:59,819 --> 00:32:00,787
SOMETHING THEY ARE,

1221
00:32:00,787 --> 00:32:03,189
UNDERSTANDABLY, FURIOUS ABOUT.

1222
00:32:03,189 --> 00:32:04,858
IT'S JUST ANOTHER GUT PUNCH.

1223
00:32:04,858 --> 00:32:06,092
YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN PUNCHED IN

1224
00:32:06,092 --> 00:32:07,193
THE GUT AS HARD AS YOU CAN BE

1225
00:32:07,193 --> 00:32:07,994
PUNCHED IN THE GUT.

1226
00:32:07,994 --> 00:32:09,829
AND THIS IS JUST ANOTHER ONE

1227
00:32:09,829 --> 00:32:11,464
RIGHT AFTER, YOU KNOW.

1228
00:32:11,464 --> 00:32:12,799
YOU TRY SO HARD TO EACH DAY

1229
00:32:12,799 --> 00:32:15,001
TO HEAL.

1230
00:32:15,001 --> 00:32:17,637
AND THEN YOU JUST HAVE TO TAKE

1231
00:32:17,637 --> 00:32:19,639
ON A WHOLE OTHER NIGHTMARE.

1232
00:32:19,639 --> 00:32:22,676
AND PART OF YOU WANTS TO JUST

1233
00:32:22,676 --> 00:32:23,943
DISMISS IT AND GO, "WE'VE DEALT

1234
00:32:23,943 --> 00:32:24,577
WITH SO MUCH, WE CAN'T DEAL WITH

1235
00:32:24,577 --> 00:32:27,080
ANY MORE."

1236
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,915
BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST

1237
00:32:28,915 --> 00:32:31,618
HAVE TO DO IT FOR YOUR SON AND

1238
00:32:31,618 --> 00:32:33,286
WE CAN'T AS HIS PARENTS LOOK THE

1239
00:32:33,286 --> 00:32:33,553
OTHER WAY.

1240
00:32:33,553 --> 00:32:34,254
John: THAT'S AWFUL.

1241
00:32:34,254 --> 00:32:35,789
THEY'VE HAD TO GO OUT OF THEIR

1242
00:32:35,789 --> 00:32:36,423
WAY TO CORRECT THE RECORD ABOUT

1243
00:32:36,423 --> 00:32:38,291
THEIR SON'S DEATH, IN THE FACE

1244
00:32:38,291 --> 00:32:39,492
OF SOMEONE WHO NOT ONLY HAS THE

1245
00:32:39,492 --> 00:32:42,495
PLATFORM OF A KENNEDY BUT ALSO

1246
00:32:42,495 --> 00:32:43,730
OF A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.

1247
00:32:43,730 --> 00:32:44,297
NOW I SHOULD TELL YOU: AFTER

1248
00:32:44,297 --> 00:32:46,166
THAT STORY, BRADEN WAS REMOVED

1249
00:32:46,166 --> 00:32:47,334
FROM THE COVER OF SUBSEQUENT

1250
00:32:47,334 --> 00:32:49,602
EDITIONS OF THAT BOOK.

1251
00:32:49,602 --> 00:32:51,971
BUT NOT ONLY IS THE PUBLISHER

1252
00:32:51,971 --> 00:32:52,605
STILL SELLING THE FIRST VERSION,

1253
00:32:52,605 --> 00:32:53,373
WITH HIM ON THE COVER, ON

1254
00:32:53,373 --> 00:32:53,973
AMAZON, EVEN THE NEWER EDITION

1255
00:32:53,973 --> 00:32:55,308
DESPITE EVERYTHING WE JUST

1256
00:32:55,308 --> 00:32:56,509
TOLD YOU-- STILL INCLUDES HIM

1257
00:32:56,509 --> 00:32:58,378
INSIDE THE BOOK ITSELF.

1258
00:32:58,378 --> 00:33:00,413
AND THE PUBLISHERS' EXCUSE FOR

1259
00:33:00,413 --> 00:33:01,014
THIS IS ENRAGING, BECAUSE THEY

1260
00:33:01,014 --> 00:33:02,449
ARGUED TO US THIS WEEK THAT THE

1261
00:33:02,449 --> 00:33:04,250
BOOK NEVER SPECIFICALLY SAYS

1262
00:33:04,250 --> 00:33:05,752
THAT THE PEOPLE SHOWN IN IT DIED

1263
00:33:05,752 --> 00:33:06,986
FROM THE COVID VACCINE, JUST

1264
00:33:06,986 --> 00:33:07,987
THAT IT HIGHLIGHTS "A NEW TREND

1265
00:33:07,987 --> 00:33:09,356
OF PEOPLE DYING SUDDENLY FOR

1266
00:33:09,356 --> 00:33:10,924
UNKNOWN CAUSES."

1267
00:33:10,924 --> 00:33:12,292
WHICH IS NOT WHAT THE BOOK DOES,

1268
00:33:12,292 --> 00:33:14,627
AT ALL.

1269
00:33:14,627 --> 00:33:15,662
AND IT'S DEFINITELY NOT WHAT RFK

1270
00:33:15,662 --> 00:33:17,330
DID WHEN HE TWEETED OUT ITS

1271
00:33:17,330 --> 00:33:18,998
COVER, WITH BRADEN'S PICTURE ON

1272
00:33:18,998 --> 00:33:20,834
IT, AND CLAIMED THE BOOK SHOWED

1273
00:33:20,834 --> 00:33:21,401
"THE COVID SHOTS ARE A CRIME

1274
00:33:21,401 --> 00:33:24,237
AGAINST HUMANITY."

1275
00:33:24,237 --> 00:33:25,205
THAT TWEET IS STILL UP, WHICH IS

1276
00:33:25,205 --> 00:33:26,840
A LITTLE ODD TO ME, BECAUSE--

1277
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,008
WHAT WAS IT KENNEDY LIKED TO

1278
00:33:28,008 --> 00:33:29,609
SAY?

1279
00:33:29,609 --> 00:33:31,077
IF SOMEBODY SHOWS ME A FACT

1280
00:33:31,077 --> 00:33:32,912
AND I'M WRONG, I'M GOING TO

1281
00:33:32,912 --> 00:33:34,614
CHANGE MY OPINION AND I'LL

1282
00:33:34,614 --> 00:33:36,282
APOLOGIZE.

1283
00:33:36,282 --> 00:33:36,783
John: HUH.

1284
00:33:36,783 --> 00:33:39,552
THAT'S WEIRD.

1285
00:33:39,552 --> 00:33:41,254
BUT I GUESS IT MAKES SENSE.

1286
00:33:41,254 --> 00:33:41,888
SAYING, "IF SOMEBODY SHOWS ME A

1287
00:33:41,888 --> 00:33:43,156
FACT AND I'M WRONG, I'M GOING TO

1288
00:33:43,156 --> 00:33:44,224
TOTALLY IGNORE IT AND FORCE

1289
00:33:44,224 --> 00:33:45,592
GRIEVING PARENTS TO RELIVE THE

1290
00:33:45,592 --> 00:33:46,326
WORST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED

1291
00:33:46,326 --> 00:33:47,360
TO THEM" DOESN'T QUITE HAVE THE

1292
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:48,795
SAME RING TO IT, DOES IT?

1293
00:33:48,795 --> 00:33:50,130
AND LOOK, I COULD LITIGATE

1294
00:33:50,130 --> 00:33:51,464
KENNEDY'S STUPID ARGUMENTS ALL

1295
00:33:51,464 --> 00:33:54,567
NIGHT, BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT

1296
00:33:54,567 --> 00:33:57,871
TO DO THAT TO MYSELF, OR TO YOU.

1297
00:33:57,871 --> 00:33:58,471
THERE AREN'T ENOUGH POPPERS IN

1298
00:33:58,471 --> 00:34:01,274
THE WORLD TO TAKE THE EDGE OFF

1299
00:34:01,274 --> 00:34:03,243
ALL THIS, AND TO QUOTE HIS

1300
00:34:03,243 --> 00:34:03,910
NEUROLOGIST, "I REALLY DON'T

1301
00:34:03,910 --> 00:34:05,111
HAVE TIME TO GO DOWN ALL THESE

1302
00:34:05,111 --> 00:34:06,546
WORM HOLES."

1303
00:34:06,546 --> 00:34:09,916
HOPEFULLY, THOUGH, AT THIS

1304
00:34:09,916 --> 00:34:10,984
POINT, YOU'VE GOT A BETTER SENSE

1305
00:34:10,984 --> 00:34:12,819
OF WHO THIS MAN ACTUALLY IS.

1306
00:34:12,819 --> 00:34:14,688
AND IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF

1307
00:34:14,688 --> 00:34:16,356
THIS, I DO GET WHY YOU MIGHT

1308
00:34:16,356 --> 00:34:17,624
LIKE HIM.

1309
00:34:17,624 --> 00:34:18,658
BECAUSE THE IDEA OF RFK IS

1310
00:34:18,658 --> 00:34:21,895
APPEALING.

1311
00:34:21,895 --> 00:34:22,495
BUT SO MANY OF THE REASONS TO

1312
00:34:22,495 --> 00:34:23,263
SUPPORT HIM, JUST DON'T STAND UP

1313
00:34:23,263 --> 00:34:25,265
UNDER THE SLIGHTEST SCRUTINY.

1314
00:34:25,265 --> 00:34:27,300
IF YOU'RE VOTING FOR HIM BECAUSE

1315
00:34:27,300 --> 00:34:28,268
HE SEEMS HONEST, OR TRUSTWORTHY,

1316
00:34:28,268 --> 00:34:30,770
I THINK YOU'VE SEEN OTHERWISE.

1317
00:34:30,770 --> 00:34:31,404
IF IT'S THE KENNEDY LEGACY, YOU

1318
00:34:31,404 --> 00:34:33,740
SHOULD KNOW OVER A DOZEN MEMBERS

1319
00:34:33,740 --> 00:34:34,541
OF HIS FAMILY HAVE COME OUT

1320
00:34:34,541 --> 00:34:35,809
AGAINST HIS CAMPAIGN.

1321
00:34:35,809 --> 00:34:37,110
IF YOU'RE VOTING FOR THE

1322
00:34:37,110 --> 00:34:38,211
ENVIRONMENTAL HERO OF THE 90S,

1323
00:34:38,211 --> 00:34:39,546
I'LL POINT OUT: MUTIPLE

1324
00:34:39,546 --> 00:34:40,180
PROMINENT ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS

1325
00:34:40,180 --> 00:34:41,181
HAVE OPPOSED HIS CAMPAIGN,

1326
00:34:41,181 --> 00:34:41,648
INCLUDING MANY FORMER

1327
00:34:41,648 --> 00:34:48,722
COLLEAGUES.

1328
00:34:48,888 --> 00:34:49,522
IF YOU LIKE THAT HE'S AGAINST

1329
00:34:49,522 --> 00:34:50,156
POLLUTERS AND BIG PHARMA, I GET

1330
00:34:50,156 --> 00:34:50,623
IT.

1331
00:34:50,623 --> 00:34:51,257
WE CRITICIZE THEM ALL THE TIME.

1332
00:34:51,257 --> 00:34:52,225
BUT WHEN WE DO THAT, WE MAKE

1333
00:34:52,225 --> 00:34:52,926
SURE WE'VE GOT OUR FACTS RIGHT

1334
00:34:52,926 --> 00:34:54,394
AND DON'T JUST PULL THEM OUT THE

1335
00:34:54,394 --> 00:34:55,729
ASS OF OUR BEST WORKOUT JEANS.

1336
00:34:55,729 --> 00:34:56,996
AND FINALLY, IF YOU'RE

1337
00:34:56,996 --> 00:34:58,131
FRUSTRATED WITH THE TWO-PARTY

1338
00:34:58,131 --> 00:34:59,866
SYSTEM-- ME, TOO.

1339
00:34:59,866 --> 00:35:01,134
BUT HONESTLY, THE WAY TO

1340
00:35:01,134 --> 00:35:02,802
DISMANTLE THAT ISN'T THROUGH

1341
00:35:02,802 --> 00:35:04,104
VOTING FOR ONE MAGICAL

1342
00:35:04,104 --> 00:35:05,472
CANDIDATE, IT'LL COME FROM

1343
00:35:05,472 --> 00:35:06,373
BUILDING A MOVEMENT TOWARD

1344
00:35:06,373 --> 00:35:07,640
RANKED-CHOICE VOTING.

1345
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,542
AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW: AT

1346
00:35:09,542 --> 00:35:11,177
LEAST ONE OF THOSE PARTIES MAY

1347
00:35:11,177 --> 00:35:13,013
NOT BE AS OPPOSED TO KENNEDY, AS

1348
00:35:13,013 --> 00:35:14,414
HE SAYS HE IS TO THEM.

1349
00:35:14,414 --> 00:35:15,882
BECAUSE REPUBLICANS SEEM TO BE

1350
00:35:15,882 --> 00:35:17,150
COUNTING ON HIM TO SIPHON OFF

1351
00:35:17,150 --> 00:35:19,019
DEMOCRATIC VOTES.

1352
00:35:19,019 --> 00:35:20,720
HIS CAMPAIGN'S LARGEST

1353
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:22,222
CONTRIBUTOR IS TIMOTHY MELLON, A

1354
00:35:22,222 --> 00:35:24,691
REPUBLICAN MEGADONOR WHO HAS

1355
00:35:24,691 --> 00:35:26,860
ALSO DONATED $50 MILLION TO A

1356
00:35:26,860 --> 00:35:28,094
PRO-TRUMP GROUP THIS ELECTION.

1357
00:35:28,094 --> 00:35:29,529
AND IF TRUMP WINS A SECOND TERM,

1358
00:35:29,529 --> 00:35:30,597
KENNEDY MAY WIND UP WORKING FOR

1359
00:35:30,597 --> 00:35:31,164
HIM.

1360
00:35:31,164 --> 00:35:33,500
BECAUSE WHEN WE REACHED OUT TO

1361
00:35:33,500 --> 00:35:34,100
RFK'S CAMPAIGN THIS WEEK, THEY

1362
00:35:34,100 --> 00:35:35,335
TOLD US HE AND TRUMP HAVE

1363
00:35:35,335 --> 00:35:37,737
DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF A

1364
00:35:37,737 --> 00:35:39,372
CABINET POSITION FOR HIM,

1365
00:35:39,372 --> 00:35:39,973
SPECIFICALLY HEALTH AND HUMAN

1366
00:35:39,973 --> 00:35:42,108
SERVICES.

1367
00:35:42,108 --> 00:35:43,343
AND IF THAT'S TRUE, THAT'S A

1368
00:35:43,343 --> 00:35:44,411
FUCKING NIGHTMARE.

1369
00:35:44,411 --> 00:35:45,645
THERE'S NO GOOD OUTCOME HERE.

1370
00:35:45,645 --> 00:35:49,616
EVEN IF RFK DROPS OUT TOMORROW,

1371
00:35:49,616 --> 00:35:50,850
HE'LL HAVE INJECTED AND

1372
00:35:50,850 --> 00:35:51,451
AMPLIFIED MISINFORMATION THAT,

1373
00:35:51,451 --> 00:35:52,285
AS YOU'VE SEEN, TAKES A LOT OF

1374
00:35:52,285 --> 00:35:53,086
EFFORT TO DEBUNK.

1375
00:35:53,086 --> 00:35:54,988
AND IF HE STAYS IN, HISTORY HAS

1376
00:35:54,988 --> 00:35:55,722
SHOWN SPOILER CANDIDATES CAN DO

1377
00:35:55,722 --> 00:35:56,823
INTENSE DAMAGE TO NO REAL END.

1378
00:35:56,823 --> 00:36:00,960
AND DON'T JUST TAKE THAT FROM ME

1379
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,197
RALPH NADER, FAMOUSLY, HELPED

1380
00:36:04,197 --> 00:36:07,500
SWING THE ELECTION FOR

1381
00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:08,068
GEORGE W. BUSH BACK IN 2000.

1382
00:36:08,068 --> 00:36:08,668
AND THERE WAS A GUY BACK THEN,

1383
00:36:08,668 --> 00:36:09,736
SMARTLY IMPLORING HIM TO DROP

1384
00:36:09,736 --> 00:36:10,303
OUT.

1385
00:36:10,303 --> 00:36:11,571
DESPITE FADING POLL NUMBERS,

1386
00:36:11,571 --> 00:36:12,939
THE CORE SUPPORT BEHIND NADER'S

1387
00:36:12,939 --> 00:36:14,541
CANDIDACY IS MAKING SOME LIBERAL

1388
00:36:14,541 --> 00:36:16,343
DEMOCRATS UNHAPPY.

1389
00:36:16,343 --> 00:36:17,877
THERE'S A POLITICAL REALITY

1390
00:36:17,877 --> 00:36:20,313
HERE, WHICH IS THAT HIS

1391
00:36:20,313 --> 00:36:22,182
CANDIDACY COULD DRAW ENOUGH

1392
00:36:22,182 --> 00:36:24,384
VOTES IN CERTAIN KEY STATES FROM

1393
00:36:24,384 --> 00:36:27,020
AL GORE TO GIVE THE ENTIRE

1394
00:36:27,020 --> 00:36:28,455
ELECTION TO GEORGE W. BUSH.

1395
00:36:28,455 --> 00:36:30,423
John: RIGHT.

1396
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:34,294
John: EXACTLY.

1397
00:36:34,294 --> 00:36:34,928
THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I'M GOING

1398
00:36:34,928 --> 00:36:35,528
TO SAY THIS, BUT RFK IS-- AND

1399
00:36:35,528 --> 00:36:36,363
DON'T YOU DARE TAKE THIS OUT OF

1400
00:36:36,363 --> 00:36:36,930
FUCKING CONTEXT-- MAKING A

1401
00:36:36,930 --> 00:36:39,799
REALLY GOOD POINT THERE.

1402
00:36:39,799 --> 00:36:41,601
BUT THE FACT IS, THE REST OF THE

1403
00:36:41,601 --> 00:36:45,905
TIME, KENNEDY'S A FULL-BLOWN

1404
00:36:45,905 --> 00:36:46,473
MENACE, AND FRANKLY SPENDING

1405
00:36:46,473 --> 00:36:47,941
THIS MUCH TIME THINKING ABOUT

1406
00:36:47,941 --> 00:36:51,077
HIM HAS BEEN-- IF I MAY QUOTE

1407
00:36:51,077 --> 00:36:52,245
"VANITY FAIR"-- THE LOW POINT

1408
00:36:52,245 --> 00:36:52,712
OF MY SUMMER.

1409
00:36:52,712 --> 00:36:53,813
AND NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I

1410
00:36:53,813 --> 00:36:55,715
THINK I'VE EARNED THESE.

1411
00:36:55,715 --> 00:36:57,017
AND NOW, THIS.

1412
00:36:57,017 --> 00:37:01,488
Announcer: AND NOW,

1413
00:37:01,488 --> 00:37:06,192
LOCAL NEWS CELEBRATES A

1414
00:37:06,192 --> 00:37:06,826
SURPRISINGLY DIVISIVE HOLIDAY.

1415
00:37:06,826 --> 00:37:08,895
HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT

1416
00:37:08,895 --> 00:37:09,195
CHEESECAKE?

1417
00:37:09,195 --> 00:37:11,097
IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE

1418
00:37:11,097 --> 00:37:11,765
DESSERTS.

1419
00:37:11,765 --> 00:37:14,901
TODAY'S YOUR DAY IS BECAUSE

1420
00:37:14,901 --> 00:37:15,802
TODAY'S NATIONAL CHEESECAKE DAY.

1421
00:37:15,802 --> 00:37:17,937
GIVE ME A NEW YORK STYLE

1422
00:37:17,937 --> 00:37:20,040
CHEESECAKE AND IT'S GOING TO BE

1423
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,776
15 POUNDS BACK ON ME AGAIN.

1424
00:37:22,776 --> 00:37:25,412
I'LL BE CELEBRATING TODAY FOR

1425
00:37:25,412 --> 00:37:26,179
SURE.

1426
00:37:26,179 --> 00:37:27,380
TODAY'S NATIONAL CHEESECAKE

1427
00:37:27,380 --> 00:37:27,547
DAY.

1428
00:37:27,547 --> 00:37:30,316
I'M NOT A FAN OF CHEESECAKE.

1429
00:37:30,316 --> 00:37:31,418
I DON'T LIKE CHEESECAKE.

1430
00:37:31,418 --> 00:37:34,587
WOW.

1431
00:37:34,587 --> 00:37:36,656
YOU DON'T LIKE CHEESECAKE?

1432
00:37:36,656 --> 00:37:38,158
I DON'T, THERE'S JUST

1433
00:37:38,158 --> 00:37:39,325
SOMETHING ABOUT IT THAT DOESN'T

1434
00:37:39,325 --> 00:37:40,393
MAKE SENSE IN MY BRAIN.

1435
00:37:40,393 --> 00:37:42,429
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE

1436
00:37:42,429 --> 00:37:44,898
FLAVOR OR THE TEXTURE.

1437
00:37:44,898 --> 00:37:45,131
BOTH.

1438
00:37:45,131 --> 00:37:47,067
IT'S JUST SO--

1439
00:37:47,067 --> 00:37:48,401
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE

1440
00:37:48,401 --> 00:37:48,702
CHEESECAKE?

1441
00:37:48,702 --> 00:37:52,305
I'M NOT A CHEESE GUY.

1442
00:37:52,305 --> 00:37:55,375
IT'S JUST THE IDEA OF IT.

1443
00:37:55,375 --> 00:37:57,077
HAVE YOU EVER TRIED IT?

1444
00:37:57,077 --> 00:38:00,814
I DON'T WANT TO TRY IT.

1445
00:38:00,814 --> 00:38:01,348
John: THAT'S OUR SHOW,

1446
00:38:01,348 --> 00:38:02,849
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING.

1447
00:38:02,849 --> 00:38:05,652
WE WILL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

1448
00:38:05,652 --> 00:38:06,286
GOOD NIGHT!

1449
00:38:06,286 --> 00:38:10,323
WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME,

1450
00:38:10,323 --> 00:38:15,261
"AND NOW THIS"."

1451
00:38:15,261 --> 00:38:16,563
"IT'S NOT SEXUAL

1452
00:38:16,563 --> 00:38:17,464
HARA
