1 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The 2 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: Michael Varry Show is on the air. 3 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 2: There are cultural impediments to doing this work. And let's 4 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 2: say you work in the FBI, you know that one 5 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 2: of the two political parties is, let me put it nicely, 6 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: white supremacist adjacent at a minimum. 7 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 3: So there's a lot of people that are like, you 8 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 3: know what, like, let's go find the safest white boy. 9 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 4: We find poor kids. You're just as bright and just 10 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 4: as talent as white kids. 11 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 5: Is that this election has proven, that this administration has 12 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 5: proven painfully in some ways, is that black people cannot 13 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 5: save this. 14 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 4: Country from white folks. We can't do it alone. 15 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 5: Right, If white folks aren't going to join in, if 16 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 5: white women aren't going to join in, if Latinos aren't 17 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 5: going to join. 18 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 4: In, we can't do it alone. 19 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 6: We will not back down in our pursuit of racial justice. 20 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 6: The antidota anti blackness is to be pro black and 21 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 6: we will do it unapologetically. But the United State government 22 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 6: owes us a debt and we need reparations. 23 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 7: That are politics that says like there are superior in 24 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 7: fear human beings just in the way to go. And 25 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 7: that's the thing that white people don't trust us to 26 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 7: do because they are so corrupt, you know, their thinking 27 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 7: is so morally and spiritually bankrupted. 28 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 4: First, here's what it takes for Black Jobs. 29 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 8: I love his phrase black jobs. Tell us a lot 30 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 8: about the band and about his character. 31 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 4: Just three and a half years we've created over true 32 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 4: Minion new Black Job. 33 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 8: You have a problem figuring out whether you're pre may 34 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 8: or Trump and you ain't black. 35 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 9: And my brother, it don't come back. 36 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 10: But I also was on the ticket quite honestly, you know, 37 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 10: because I could code talk to white guys watching football 38 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 10: fixing their trials. 39 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 11: I've said for quite some time, and I believe this 40 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 11: to be true, that you don't follow the stock market 41 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 11: on a day to day basis. Now, financial advice will 42 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 11: tell you you don't fallow stock market day to day 43 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 11: because they don't want you pulling your money out. And 44 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 11: you could argue that they make money on the big 45 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 11: They get action off of the investment, so whether it's 46 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 11: up or down, they're still getting their percentage. Now, that 47 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 11: depends a lot on what kind of relationship you have 48 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 11: and what kind of financial structure you have established, whether 49 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 11: they are a fiduciary as Ramone loves to say about 50 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 11: his guy or you know my guy who is a 51 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 11: fee based but anyway, it doesn't matter. I mean, technically 52 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 11: his is too. But he thinks the word fiduciary is 53 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 11: a big word and he doesn't know what it means. 54 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 4: But anyway, I'll leave that. I'll leave that there for 55 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 4: a second. 56 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 11: You would think, I think Ramone thinks that his money 57 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 11: manager when he goes to the doctor and you put 58 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 11: in occupation, says fiduciary. I think he believes that he 59 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 11: doesn't understand what the term actually means. 60 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 4: But whatever. 61 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 11: Anyway, I have long said, when you keep me on track, 62 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 11: that you don't watch the stock market up and up, 63 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 11: you know, on a given day, because too. 64 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 4: Many vagaries of news and. 65 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 11: Happenings and rumors can affect things negatively or positively. 66 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 4: That is irrational. 67 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 11: Now, the stock market had seen a dip when President 68 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 11: Trump took over, when the tariff talk heated up bigly, 69 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 11: and I read a lot of things. I try to 70 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 11: consume opinion from across the spectrum, and most everybody who 71 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 11: was not you know, deeply in Trump's corner, was saying, 72 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 11: these tariffs are a bad idea. Look at the stock market. 73 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 11: Looking at the stock market is not a good way 74 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 11: to measure long term economic plans. 75 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 4: In fact, it's a terrible way when. 76 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 11: You understand that the not the stock market is not 77 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 11: repeat is not a rational, practical, sophisticated determinant of whether 78 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 11: current economic plans are going to yield prosperity. Generally, the 79 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 11: stock market can rise or fall dramatically on the basis 80 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 11: of a lie, on the basis of hype, on the 81 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 11: basis of fears never come true, all sorts of things. 82 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 11: It is a marketplace, and there is the idea that 83 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 11: with sufficient numbers you achieve there's even an economic theory 84 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 11: on this, but I don't want to get too far 85 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 11: into this. You can achieve a sense of efficiency. Well, 86 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 11: this is about as rational as the idea that the 87 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 11: housing market bust in two thousand and eight was based 88 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 11: on taking a bad loan. You got a guy that 89 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 11: makes fifty thousand dollars a year and he lives in Houston, 90 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 11: and he takes a loan on a house in Arizona 91 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 11: for four hundred thousand dollars, and he airbnb's the house, 92 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 11: or back then there was a different process. But he 93 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 11: gives it to somebody to rent and he makes the 94 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 11: minimal payment and he's counting on in a year selling 95 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 11: it for five hundred, and they're called liar loans. 96 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 4: He would go and take that and signed that he made, you. 97 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 11: Know, two million dollars a year, and so he would 98 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 11: he would he would lie on his application, like like 99 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 11: Letitia James did in New York. But these were unverified loans, 100 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 11: which meant you tell them what they what you make 101 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 11: state because stated income. Uh, they would loan you money 102 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 11: based on what you told him you made. Well, you know, 103 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 11: not believe this, but some people lied. Who would imagine, 104 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 11: and so they would have all these houses. Well why 105 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 11: would you do this? Because the market was going up 106 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 11: and up enough so you'd buy a house for four 107 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 11: hundred sell it in a year for five hundred minus 108 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 11: property taxes and transaction fees. 109 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 4: You know it was working because values. 110 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 11: Are just going to go up, up, up, up, until 111 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 11: they didn't and when they started unwinding. What happened was 112 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 11: these lyyre loans were a big part of the portfolio 113 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 11: of outstanding loans. So what they did people recognized there 114 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 11: was risk. That's a really risky loan. That guy's I'm 115 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 11: able to pay it back. So what they did is 116 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 11: they bundled them up. Because the idea was if you 117 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 11: took one bad loan and added another bad loan and 118 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 11: another bad loan, if you put enough bad loans together 119 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 11: into a bundle, that made the bundle efficient. 120 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 9: But that's not true. 121 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 4: It's quite the opposite. 122 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 11: It had a multiplier effect on the likelihood it would 123 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 11: bring the whole thing down. And I said, I'll have 124 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 11: to say, this stock market was up yesterday. I never 125 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 11: comment on the stock market on the day of because 126 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 11: I like to have time. In fact, I very rarely 127 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 11: if you notice comment on day of news at all. 128 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 4: Janine Piro, today I'll make an exception. 129 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 11: The new interim US attorney for Washington, d C. President 130 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 11: was very proud of that. He likes her a lot. 131 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 11: I met her at mar Lago. She hangs out there 132 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 11: a lot. He's he's a big fan of hers. Anyway, 133 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 11: the stock market had been down yesterday, it shot up 134 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 11: because he pulled back the terraces. All that by way 135 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 11: of saying, every time Trump says something and they panic, 136 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 11: just understand it's all a negotiation. Be calm, we are 137 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 11: the watchman. Okay, let's let's let's be the same. 138 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 4: Voice as out Michael Berry's show. 139 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 11: The graduation speeches are exst It always interesting whether someone 140 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 11: is trying to push their own gender, whether it's a 141 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 11: pie in the sky optimism, and why not. 142 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 4: You got graduates. 143 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 11: President Donald Trump used the opportunity while speaking at West 144 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 11: Point to set a new direction, in a new tone 145 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 11: for the American Army. Rush Limba always said the military's 146 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 11: only job was to kill people and break things. And 147 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 11: that's very offensive to the people who are not warriors, 148 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 11: but it's exactly how warriors feel. It might sound overly simplistic, 149 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 11: but when it comes time to kill people and break things, 150 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 11: which is when we most need our military, there are 151 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 11: lots of people that are let into the military for 152 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 11: all the wrong reasons, who are not prepared to kill 153 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 11: people in break things, when the folks on the other 154 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 11: side are prepared to kill people in break things. President 155 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 11: Trump gave the commencement address at West Point, and he 156 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 11: laid out the military's true purpose. And I'm going to 157 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 11: tell you, I'll guarantee you, I'll guarantee you those folks 158 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 11: were proud to be an American again, proud to go 159 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 11: into our United States Army, proud to lead our army 160 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 11: as officers were the graduates at West Point there. 161 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 10: But under the Trump administration, those days are over. We're 162 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 10: getting rid of the distractions and we're focusing our military 163 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 10: on ours core mission, crushing America's adversaries, killing America's enemies, 164 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 10: and defending our great American flag like it has never 165 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 10: been defended before. 166 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 4: The job of the. 167 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 10: US Armed Forces is not to host brag shows to 168 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 10: transform foreign cultures, but to spread democracy to everybody around 169 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 10: the world at the point of a gun.

There are people who 304 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 11: will say, why, thank you, I appreciate that. And there 305 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 11: are people who pretend they don't notice that you did that. 306 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 11: And then there are people who you can tell are 307 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 11: making a statement by not acknowledging it.

Just keep doing what you're doing. 342 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 11: So it doesn't super serve the kid at the top. 343 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 4: It doesn't. 344 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 11: It's not built to It's built for the masses. This 345 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 11: was a mass education inculcation effort. 346 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 4: We know that right. 347 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 11: A Pharmacy Benefits Manager or PBM is a third party 348 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 11: company that manages prescription drug benefits on behalf of health 349 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 11: insurers employers, unions, and government programs. There are a lot 350 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 11: of people involved in the racket of healthcare today who 351 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 11: hate their jobs, who are listening right now and going, 352 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 11: oh good, I'm glad we're going. 353 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 4: To expose this. Let me start that over. 354 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,479 Speaker 11: A Pharmacy benefits manager or PBM is a third party 355 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 11: company that manages prescription drug benefits on behalf of health insurers, employers, unions, 356 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 11: and government programs. PBMs play a key role in how 357 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 11: medications are accessed, priced, and reimbursed in the US healthcare system. 358 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 11: Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, we like her signed House 359 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 11: Bill eleven fifty in ending the conflict of interest of 360 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 11: PBMs owning pharmacies. Now, what happened as a result, Well, 361 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 11: we'll get to that in the moment. All right, here's 362 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 11: the bill she has signed. 363 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 14: For far too long, drug middleman called PBMs have taken 364 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 14: advantage of customers and raised drug prices. Under my leadership, 365 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 14: Arkansas took action and imposed nearly one point five million 366 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 14: dollars in fines against law breaking PBMs last year. Now 367 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 14: we're going even further and banding PBM conflicts of interest altogether. 368 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 14: This will prevent inflated drug prices, protect pharmaceutical access across 369 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 14: our state and help our Kansons be healthier for less money. 370 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 14: Some of these big businesses are worried because Arkansas is 371 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 14: leading the way and they don't want other states to 372 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 14: follow our lead. But we're not afraid to be a 373 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 14: conservative leader for America, and I will never be afraid 374 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 14: to stand up for our seniors, our veterans, and everyone 375 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 14: else who relies on their local pharmacy to stay healthy. 376 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 11: Now, as a result, after House Build eleven fifty in 377 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 11: Arkansas was signed, Forest Park Pharmacy took to TikTok with 378 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 11: this bit of industry news. 379 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 15: FBS is moving forward with closing all locations in Arkansas 380 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 15: after the state banned PBMs. 381 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 4: From owning pharmacies. 382 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 15: They only have twenty three locations there, but it proves 383 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 15: where these companies make their money. Before the bill even passed, 384 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 15: they were running ads telling everybody that if the state 385 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 15: moved forward with the legislation, they were going. 386 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 4: To close all their stores. 387 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 15: There was never even a whisper of them considering stopping 388 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 15: PBM operations. They threatened that people would lose access to 389 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 15: care if they couldn't own pharmacies and PBMs, but when 390 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 15: it came down to it, they chose to be a 391 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 15: middleman rather than a provider that speaks volumes. 392 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 4: The middleman has wrangled completely people. 393 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 11: Actually, as we'll play the rest of in the next segment, 394 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 11: what we're experiencing here are the hidden costs in control 395 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,360 Speaker 11: because he who has the gold makes the rules. That's 396 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 11: the golden rule. How many people can't get their medication. 397 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 11: How many doctors don't perform this or that procedure because 398 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 11: they can't get the insurance recovered, which means the insurance 399 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 11: companies are like the people during the Biden administration who 400 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 11: were loading that the teleprompter. 401 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 4: They're actually in charge show. So let's recap for a moment. 402 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 11: Because my dad's eighty five, I'm fifty four, my wife's 403 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 11: fifty seven. You know, for many years we didn't have kids, 404 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 11: so we didn't really need health care, and we were 405 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 11: young and healthy, so we didn't need health care. Neither 406 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 11: one of us has a major chronic condition, so we're lucky. 407 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 11: But my dad does and has his entire life. And 408 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 11: then my mom passed, and between her and my day, 409 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 11: one or the other of them was in the hospital 410 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 11: almost once a week for years. 411 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 4: It was very traumatic for me. 412 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 11: I went to bed every night if I wasn't driving 413 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 11: to Beaumont to be there with him overnight and then 414 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 11: rushing back in the morning. Beaumont's a a little over 415 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 11: an hour drive from me. There was a lot of 416 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 11: windshield time at the end or beginning of a long day. 417 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 11: And it's traumatic, right, it's debilitated, fatiguing. Well, you really 418 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 11: learn insights into things, and COVID brought that to bear 419 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 11: when you couldn't get ivermectin, when you couldn't get hydroxychloroq, 420 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 11: when when your doctor couldn't tell you to use that 421 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 11: because they were being pushed to write scripts. When your 422 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 11: doctor can't tell you how best he can heal you, 423 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 11: but instead for issues of money control, hospital system can 424 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 11: troll is forced into giving you advice that is not 425 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 11: the best guidance. 426 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 4: That's a problem, that's a quality of life drop. 427 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 9: Right. 428 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 11: So in a state of Arkansas, they went after this, 429 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 11: they went after these PBMs prescription benefit managers and as 430 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 11: a result, CBS said, uh huh, we're pulling out, and 431 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 11: the theory goes CVS would rather write off Arkansas, not 432 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 11: new business there. Then other states see that CBS consented 433 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,719 Speaker 11: to this change in policy, because then Texas and New 434 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 11: York and California and Florida and everywhere else would say, Hey, 435 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 11: in Texas, you're willing to play that game. In Texas, 436 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 11: you're willing to be fair. So CBS said, we can't 437 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 11: let that happen. So CBS pulled out. It's the way 438 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 11: big corporations think. There is Forest Park pharmacy, an independent 439 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 11: pharmacy presumably, and them talking about the fact that CBS 440 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 11: had twenty three pharmacies in Arkansas and they pulled out. 441 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 15: FBS is moving forward with closing all locations in Arkansas 442 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 15: after the state banned PBMs from owning pharmacies. 443 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 4: They only have twenty three locations there. 444 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 15: But it proves where these companies make their mind. 445 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 4: Let me stop you there. 446 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 11: Back before big pharma started buying large amounts of ad 447 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 11: time on every news program, organizations like CBS did real reporting. 448 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 11: This was our friend Cheryl Atkinson when she was at 449 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 11: CBS in two thousand and six, reporting that flu deaths 450 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 11: among the elderly climbed didn't drop climbed after getting the 451 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 11: flu shot. 452 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 13: It stands the reason that flu deaths among the elderly 453 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,959 Speaker 13: should have taken a dramatic dip, making an X craft 454 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 13: like this. Instead, flue deaths among the elderly continued to climb. 455 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 13: Whoas yesterday, Here's what scientists have found over twenty years. 456 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 13: The percentage of seniors getting flu shots increased sharply, from 457 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 13: fifteen percent to sixty five percent. It stands to reason 458 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 13: that flu deaths among the elderly should have taken a 459 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 13: dramatic dip, making an. 460 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 4: X graph like this. 461 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 13: Instead, flu deaths among the elderly continue to climb. It 462 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 13: was hard to believe, so were searchers at the National 463 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 13: Institutes of Health set out to do a study adjusting 464 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 13: for all kinds of factors that could be masking the 465 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 13: true benefits of the shots. But no matter how they 466 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 13: crunched the numbers, they got the same disappointing result. Flu 467 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 13: shots had not reduced deaths among the elderly. It's not 468 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 13: what health officials hope to find. NIH wouldn't let us 469 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 13: interview the study's lead author, so we went to Boston 470 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 13: and found the only co author not employed by NIH, 471 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 13: doctor Tom Reikert. 472 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 4: We realized that we had scendiary materials. 473 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 13: Doctor Reichert says they thought their study would prove vaccinations 474 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 13: at helped. 475 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 4: We were trying to do something mainstream, that's for sure. 476 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 4: We surprised, astonished. 477 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 13: Did you check the data a couple of times to 478 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 13: make sure? 479 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 15: Well? 480 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 2: Even more than that, we've looked at other countries now 481 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 2: and the same is true. 482 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 13: That study soon to be published finds the same poor 483 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 13: results in Australia, France, Canada and the UK, and other 484 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 13: new research stokes the idea that decades of promoting flu 485 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 13: shots and seniors and the billion spent haven't had the 486 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 13: desired result. 487 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 4: The current head of National. 488 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 13: Imanizations confirmed CDC is now looking at new strategies, but 489 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 13: stop short of calling the present policy a failure. 490 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 2: There's an active dialogue into how we can do better 491 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 2: to prevent influenza and its complications in the elderly. 492 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 13: So what's an older person to do? The CDC says 493 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 13: they should still get their flu shots, that it could 494 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 13: make flu less severe or prevent other problems not reflected 495 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 13: in the total numbers, but watch for CDC to likely 496 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 13: shift in the near future more toward protecting the elderly 497 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 13: in a roundabout way by vaccinating more children and others 498 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 13: around them. Who could give them the flu? Werlakis and 499 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 13: CBS News Washington. 500 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 4: Did you hear what the CDC just said. 501 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 11: When we give the flu they call it a flu 502 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 11: shot because it's not a vaccine. We give the flu vaccine. 503 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 11: Let's call it what they used to call it. They 504 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 11: don't want that because the vaccine prevents you forgetting something. 505 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 11: Remember when Joe Biden said that the COVID shot prevented 506 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 11: you from getting COVID. You can't get it, you can't 507 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 11: spread it. That was a complete lie. Of course, everything 508 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 11: about the Biden administration was. The CDC said, if giving 509 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 11: the shot to old people is killing more old people 510 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 11: than it saves, that would assume the shot even worked. 511 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 11: But it's killing more people than it saves, then you 512 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 11: know what we'll do. We'll start giving the shot to 513 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 11: everyone around the old people. Well, do you ros it's 514 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 11: going to kill some of those people as well. Do 515 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 11: you know how many people died from the COVID shot? 516 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 11: Do you know how many people die from the flu shot? 517 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 11: They don't want you to know that. A study coming 518 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 11: out of I think it was a University of Michigan 519 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 11: said the flu shot had a negative efficacy rate. More 520 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 11: people die from getting the shot than are saved by 521 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 11: taking it. You know, we had several years ago we 522 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 11: had somebody that was I think they'd been at the 523 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 11: NIH National Institute of Help, and they explained how the 524 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,959 Speaker 11: flu shot is put together. Every year, there is a 525 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 11: convention that's pulled together at the end of February, and 526 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 11: they have to decide, as I understand it, by the 527 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 11: end of February, on which of three strains of the 528 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 11: flu it could be this year. They have to pick 529 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 11: one so that on March first they can begin production 530 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 11: of the flu shot to have it ready for the fall. 531 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 11: So you've got a one in three chance of even 532 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 11: getting it right, but you've got one hundred percent chance 533 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 11: of having been exposed to a dangerous shot if you 534 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 11: take it. Now, who on earth would make the decision 535 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 11: for you to do that unless you were making billions 536 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 11: of dollars off selling the flu shot. Well, CVS and 537 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 11: Walgreens told me to come in and take it. Oh 538 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 11: you mean they told you to come in the door 539 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 11: so they can get paid to give you the shot. 540 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 4: And while you're there you. 541 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 11: Might pick up some snacks and cokes and all sorts 542 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 11: of other stuff. 543 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 4: Of course, they told you to. 544 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 11: That's what got you to go into CVS and Walgreens 545 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 11: so they can make more money. Gas stations don't make 546 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 11: their money off the gas. That's to get you in 547 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 11: the door and buy the rest of the stuff. 548 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 4: Good. 549 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 11: Breathe the evil of foot in this country, the evil 550 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 11: of foot in this country, the things that are passing, 551 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 11: the people that are I'm doing the right thing. I'm 552 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 11: taking care of myself. Bless your heart. You tried to 553 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 11: but evil people lied to you. You did nothing wrong 554 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 11: other than being the naive neighbor. You should assume you 555 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 11: can't trust anything these people say.
