1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. I think the Republicans will vote for

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: an extension. We won't have any Democrat votes. We could

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: give the greatest budget ever, a tax cut of fifty percent,

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: everybody taken care of, perfect for women, perfect for men,

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: perfect for minorities, perfect for everything, and we would get

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: one vote for the Democrats because they lost their minds.

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 3: Good Thursday morning. Nice to have you with us on

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got one very

10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: big and important story for you. It deals with vaccines

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 3: and parental rights being restored in Florida. The left and

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 3: the media losing their minds, including many doctors who are

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 3: furious that the state there is getting rid of vaccine mandates,

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: including for your kids to go to school. So why

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: are they so angry? We'll explain it and many of

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 3: the thoughts that I had about this. I got to

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: say on CNN you do not want to miss it.

18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: But first let me tell you about Krocket Coffee. If

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 3: if you drink coffee like I do, I drink it

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: every day. I want a great cup of coffee. Well,

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 3: my good friends, Klay Travis and Buck Sexon decided to

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 3: start a company that only did small batch, premium coffee.

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 3: Small batch roasted coffee is just another level of incredible, amazing,

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: smooth coffee that if you've never tried it before, you've

25
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 3: got to do it, because every cup is premium. It's

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: not average, it's not even good, it's amazing coffee. Crockett

27
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 3: Coffee they do this in small batches, and there's no

28
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: need to give your money to the woke liberal coffee

29
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: brands that are out there, because my good friends, that's

30
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: part of the reason why they start this company. They

31
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 3: are sick and tired of giving their money to companies

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 3: that hate our values, and they said, hey, we can

33
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: do this and do it better than anybody else. Now

00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: Story number one.

55
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: Cause and effect is something that happens all the time. Well,

56
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: there was a major cause and effect when it came

57
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: to COVID nineteen and the lies that were told to

58
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: the American people about that vaccine and so many of

59
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: the regulations and rules that put us in a lockdown

60
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: for far too long. What happened, There's a lot of

61
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: people now asking more questions than ever about the CDC

62
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: and not trusting the CDC, not trusting them on vaccines.

63
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: It also brought up an even bigger point, should the

64
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: government be able to mandate what vaccines you have to

65
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 3: have for your kids? Well, Florida, they said they believe

66
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: that parents should have the rights over their children, not

67
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 3: the federal government when it comes to vaccines. Let me

68
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: be clear about what happened in Florida. It is not

69
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: in Florida, and this is very important, a ban on vaccines.

70
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: What Florida has now done is said parents could decide,

71
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: not the government, and that brings us to the big headline.

72
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: Liberals are losing their minds because they want the government

73
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: to be able to dictate to you what you have

74
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: to do for your children. Florida now we know plans

75
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: to eliminate all vaccine mandates, including those required for children

76
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 3: attending public schools. The announcement came from the Surgeon General

77
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: of Florida and was made during a press conference alongside

78
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 3: Governor Ron De Santis. Now, the Surgeon General describe the

79
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 3: mandates as oppressive and even liken them to slavery and

80
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: frame the repeal as a matter of printal choice, bodily autonomy,

81
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: and medical freedom. Florida, by the way, would become the

82
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: first US state to withdraw mandatory vaccination requirements entirely, marking

83
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 3: a significant shift from decades of public health policy. Now,

84
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: while the Department of Health can rescind mannate it issued administratively,

85
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: any vaccine requirements established by laws, such as those for polio,

86
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 3: measles and mumps, you know intentanus for example, will require

87
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: legislative action to quote unquote repeal. Well, the liberals their

88
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 3: minds exploded over this, as well as many in the

89
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: medical field. The American Medical Associations say that the repeal

90
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: would quote undermined decades of public health progress and dramatically

91
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: increase the risk of serious illness. Well, guess what if

92
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 3: you guys at the CDC and in the medical community

93
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 3: wouldn't have lied about the COVID vaccine and its effectiveness,

94
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: or the spread or masking or staying six feet a partners,

95
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 3: shutting down the schools, or any of the issues you

96
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: lied to us about with COVID, then we might actually

97
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: believe you on issues moving forward. But the reality is

98
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: Americans don't infectious disease leaders also came out warning of

99
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: likely outbreaks preventable diseases like measles and polio, especially in

100
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: schools and vulnerable populations. Florida Democrats echoed these concerns, with

101
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: Senator Jones calling it a quote grave public health risk.

102
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 3: Another state senator in emphasized disease like polio could return

103
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: and that would be horrific for Florida. Now, I went

104
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: on CNN Newsnight with Abby Phillips. It was the lead story,

105
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: and I want you to hear how the media is

106
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: now attacking Donald Trump for this, saying that he's going

107
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: to have kids die because of a popsey. It's been

108
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 3: acted in Florida. Yes, they want to fearmonger you and

109
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 3: control you. Yet again, listen carefully.

110
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 4: Joining the conversation for this one is doctor Chris Parnell.

111
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 4: She's the director of the NAACP Center for Health Equity

112
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 4: and Public Health and Preventative Medicine. Physician and doctor Parnell,

113
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 4: you know this well. In twenty twenty, we had thirteen

114
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 4: cases of measles twenty twenty five, fourteen hundred, a huge

115
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: increase in whooping cough whooping cough in this country, and

116
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 4: at the same time, the rates of vaccine exemptions have

117
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 4: gone up by about a point since twenty nineteen. None

118
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 4: of this is by accident, none of this is by osmosis.

119
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 4: And now this in Florida reckless.

120
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 5: If I could summon up in one word, let's just

121
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 5: go to some facts, and I have them here to

122
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 5: keep myself honest. Since the last thirty years, we've saved

123
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 5: over one hundred and fifty million lives because of vaccines globally.

124
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 5: If we begin to think about in the United States,

125
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 5: we've saved over one point one million children due to

126
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 5: vaccination since nineteen ninety four. We've prevented five hundred and

127
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 5: eight million illnesses in thirty two million hospitalizations. That's not

128
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 5: anything to wink at. That's hardcore data. But what's happening

129
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 5: in the United States is as if we are a

130
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 5: runaway train. In public health, we talk about the cliff

131
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 5: of good health, and we have fallen completely off of

132
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 5: the cliff.

133
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 4: That's kind of what it feels like that in a way,

134
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 4: Ben that everybody sitting at this table, all the folks

135
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 4: in Florida, all of these people who are vaccine skeptics

136
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: now have benefited from vaccines allowing them to live their

137
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 4: lives without polio, without measles, and now all of a

138
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 4: sudden they want to pull the rug out from underneath children.

139
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 4: That I'm surprised by it. I mean, you have kids,

140
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 4: A lot of us do at this table, if you

141
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 4: lived in Florida.

142
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 6: What two things they're not outlawed. That's good. The parents

143
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 6: are going to decide too.

144
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 7: There's a cause and effect.

145
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 6: And the CDC lied to us about COVID and they

146
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 6: lied a lot. They lied about masks in school, they

147
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 6: lied about distancing, They lied about the efficiency or the

148
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 6: effectiveness of the COVID nineteen vaccine.

149
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 4: That's true.

150
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: It is true.

151
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 6: I said that distancing, did they did?

152
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 3: They not lie about.

153
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: The effective it?

154
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 5: Yes, if you talk about mass if we're looking at

155
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 5: high quality masks, If we're looking at high quality masks, right,

156
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 5: so I would those mass absolutely permit infections because this

157
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 5: is the way science works. Science works as you get data,

158
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 5: the type of communication that you give, you can't say.

159
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: You can't.

160
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: I think I actually think it's important. It's very if

161
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 4: you're saying things that are doing the accurate. I do

162
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 4: think it's fair for her to count.

163
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 7: She said that masking was effective and work when they

164
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 7: knew internal documents said, it came out that it didn't work.

165
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 6: Okay, well, what does distance said?

166
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 5: Misinformation and you're seeing in it at.

167
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 4: Are you going to are you gonna are you going

168
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 4: to have a conversation? Are you just going to keep talking? Look?

169
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 3: Hold on?

170
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 4: Okay. First of all, what she is disputing is youranguage

171
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 4: around this, which is that they lied exactly, which she's saying.

172
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 4: I think she's right about this is not true. There

173
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 4: are certain types of mass that work better than others science.

174
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is one.

175
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 7: Florida did this. Let's just what you guys don't understand

176
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 7: that there's a cause and effect that American people don't

177
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 7: trust this for the reasons I said.

178
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 6: You may not like that, you may not like the.

179
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 4: Americans don't trust the CDC because RFK Junior and I.

180
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 6: Got the job because people.

181
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 4: Hold on a second, okay, man, just give me one second. Okay,

182
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 4: this this Florida Surgeon General has been railing against vaccines

183
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 4: for a while, but he's also responsible for a lot

184
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 4: of misinformation. He's altered key findings in a COVID nineteen

185
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 4: vaccine safety study. Practice he pushed things like cures like

186
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,599
Speaker 4: ivermectin and others for.

187
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 6: Not work.

188
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 7: Now I have doubt that shows that did work.

189
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 4: No, he is pushing affect Okay, Ben, are you really

190
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 4: going to argue with the doctor during.

191
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 7: COVID You guys screwed us and we failed miserably a vaccine.

192
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 3: Isn't it amazing how they're so angry that you have

193
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 3: parents that are going to have the right to make

194
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: a decision for their children what is best for them.

195
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 3: They cannot stand that the government can't dictate to the people,

196
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 3: at least in Florida, on the issue of vaccines. They

197
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: cannot stand to admit that the reason why this happened,

198
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 3: the reason why RFK Juniors and the government is because

199
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 3: the cause of effect of the CDC lying pathologically to

200
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: the American people every step of the way on the

201
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: issue of COVID nineteen, the effectiveness of vaccines and masking

202
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 3: and all the other things that I just mentioned. And

203
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 3: they're mad that this is happening in Florida. Now, look,

204
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 3: I think the people in Florida should be trusted. I

205
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 3: think the people in Florida should have the right to

206
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 3: do what's best for their children. And if the doctors

207
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 3: are angry that they say the science is overwhelming, that

208
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 3: these vaccine mandates should be a thing, Well, then they

209
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 3: should actually talk to their patience about it with compassion

210
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 3: and understanding instead of the arrogance that you just heard

211
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: right there from that doctor, condescending and frustrated of anybody

212
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: that would ever question her. As a quote doctor. You

213
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 3: heard it, and it's amazing that we're still even having

214
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 3: the conversation after.

215
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 6: What we witness during COVID.
