  Speaker 1: You know all the TV commercials that if say, if
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: it's COVID, it's paxlovid. You know, the paxlovid is supposed
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to be sort of the wonder drug for COVID, especially
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: if you're older.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: And I checked it out.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I kind of did a chat gpt Grock Deep Dive,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and the numbers are impressive. Now, I know, we're opening
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: up a can of worms and people are going to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: get mad and they're ivermact.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: I will tell you know, I hear the word COVID
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: and it instantly becomes.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: The I know, I know Charlie Brown does.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: It doesn't mean I'm not interested.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Well, let me share with you a pragmatic,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: real world issue that that matters. And I'm so glad,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: incidentally that I'm partnering with a great organization called Conservatives
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: for Lower Healthcare Costs because they're really focused on big
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: pharma and high prescription drug prices and how they're gouging
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the consumer.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Check this out.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: So I did the research and saw that yes, Paxlovid
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: apparently is very effective, particularly with older adults and people
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: with you know, immune compromise situations, in reducing the chances
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: for hospitalization or death. It's supposed to be a very
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: effective drug. Now again, don't don't shoot the messenger. I'm
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: just telling you what the experts claim. I've got friends
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: of mine in New York, older couple. They both got
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: a pretty nasty case of COVID this week. Doctor said,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: we're going to get you packed looavied. It really works.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: It's it's good we've gotten, we've learned. Do you know
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: what Packsloavid costs?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Mark? Have any idea?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Five Now listen to this five day treatment. It's only
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a five day regiment. Now, I'll tell you this. I
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: found out what the pills cost to manufacture by Pfizer.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: We get three three to five dollars a pill. Of course,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that's what a cost to manufacture Mark without insurance. It's
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: sixteen hundred dollars without insurance for five days if you
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: have insured. I was so fascinated by this. When my
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: friends told me this, they were like, look, we're just
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: pet to be sick. We're not going to spend that.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I said, So I go to my local pharmacy yesterday
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and I say, hey, if I get a pack Sloavid prescription,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: what will it cost? They took my card with your
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: with our with our Salem insure, ready for it with insurance,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: go ahead, eight hundred dollars.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's better.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Well is it five days? And when you crow, and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: when you look at the reason it's so expensive, it
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: isn't a supply issue. It isn't because they you remember,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: they were given it out like tiktoks during COVID and
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the government subsidized and.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Everything has nothing to do with that.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Pfizer's position is, well, it's beneficial to the public and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: it's a really important drug, so we can get away
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: with it. That's basically the official explanation from fire.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Not the official explanation. They haven't said that. Well they
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: there's no release that says well we can do it,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: so we are.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: No, there's but there's there's league us it is and.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: That may ultimately be but that's not their no no.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: But there there's verbiage though, that says that it's because
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: it's such a good drug. I'm warning it clumsily. You
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: can look it up. So but it's basically, well, you know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it's a good drug and it's effective, and.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: We ought to have it.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: It's sixteen. Imagine somebody who's sick and incidentally if you
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: believe it, if you believe the experts, it saves lives. Well, well,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: how many people aren't getting it because they sure as
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: can't afford either eight hundred if they have insurance or
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: sixteen hundred if they don't. That that's why this great
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: organization I just want to get a quick plug in
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: because this great group Conservatives for Lower health Care Costs
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: fighting Big Pharmer's agenda. This is all about profits in
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: big pharma, and I'm all about capitalism and all that.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: And I understand their explanations about R and D research
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: and development, how expensive it is, and you know, not
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: everything can cost two dollars. They got to have huge
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: piles of money to make the next miracle drug that
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: saves more lives. On all about that, and yet every
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: once in a while there will be a story like
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: this that.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Just makes it oh too, makes me crazy. You can
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: go to Pharma windfall dot com if you want to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: support this great organization Conservatives for Lower Healthcare Costs because
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: big Pharma is pushing for mandates that would likely make
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: prices even higher, and there's a way to fight that.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Pharma windfall dot com, I'm going to ask you for
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: some mind reading. I would say mind reading is impossible,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: but between us, I think sometimes it is ready what
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: there's a there's an issue. There's a thing banging around
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: in the in the headlines in yesterday's news. I have
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: not said a word about it on the show yet.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know. What do you think I'm dying to
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: ask you about? It's it's so broad there make go nowhere,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: There's there's something, there's a there's a any any idea
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: what I'm just dying to get your thought on.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Well, we talked about Scott Adams, which we will in.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: A second, which you will in a second.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Just just no, will we I don't want to do that.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Well I do. I want to pay tribute to this
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: he died during Oh.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I want to pay tribute to Scott Adams. In fact,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I on the clip where he talked about the complete
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: circle when you're born you're utterly selfish, the life arc,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the life arc, and I love that clip and I'm
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: going to share that. And gosh, he's going to be missing,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: only sixty eight years old. But it was the acceptance
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of Jesus as his savior that has got OK.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Then that may then that may be first coming in
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: at a close second Mike Gallagher. Should Bill Clinton testify
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: before the House Oversight Committee on the Epstein files? Both
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: he and Hillary have said no, we're not showing up.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: And look, I know it's like, well, Bill Clinton's being
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: an obstructionist and what is he trying to hide? Can
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: you imagine if a Democrat committee tried to get hold
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: of of former President Trump during the Biden years, Weed
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: have called bs on it all day long. So I
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: don't know, and I'm just so Epstein weary, But I
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: did wonder what your thought was on well, I will
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: end Hillary giving the bird to those congressionals.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I would.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, by the way, speaking of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: giving the bird, let's talk about our president.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: For a moment.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: But but I was going to say to you that,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you know how you hear the Charlie Brown teacher every
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: time you hear COVID, yep, That's what I hear every
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: time I hear Epstein files. I mean, oh my gosh,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: look at Thomas Massey. He's going down in flames over
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the Epstein files. And look, the principles are right. The
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: principle is correct. You don't want to protect people they've
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: done everything they can do with this, I think. I mean,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: look at and Dan Bongino coming back and he's going
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to do a podcast, and people are livid at Dan Bongine.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Why they're mad because they think he dropped the ball
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: on Epstein. He dropped the ball on Well, I'm just
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: telling you I have also not claimed my partial.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: I told you so on Bongino because I look like
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: a big doult sinner Santa. There's no way Bongino leaves
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: the lucrative and productive and world where he's doing great
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: things in conservative commentary to be assisted director of the FBI.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: That's it's not going to happen. Then of course he
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: does it, don't Now. Months after that, he said, boy,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: you know this, just why do you think Bongino left
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the FBI.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: It's a great question because it seems to me if
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you're called to serve and you're in that important a position.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Now we all know he left a lucrative post. I mean,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: he's very popular, he's a great influencer, and everybody you
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: know people like him. But it's kind of like Seb Gorka.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I think about our friend and colleague, Seb Gorka, and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I've spoken with Seb a lot about his choice.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: You know, right the hand of the president almost every
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: day doing the Lord's working in Anti Terras, and Bongino's
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: at a fraction of what he was making as a broadcaster.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: It's a great personal sacrifice for these guys to leave
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: their broadcasting perch and then go to the White House.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And Seb said, look, when the President calls you go.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Evidently Dan's position is I'll go for a few months.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's really don't you find.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I claim a partial I told you so. He's choosing
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: conservative commentary, and I, for one am glad he's back.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I well, what would you choose? Let me ask you
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: to put you on the spot.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: You get a call today from Caroline Leavitt or somebody the.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Time, would you would you leave what you do for
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: a living to go.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Serve in the White House to do exactly what? Well,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know, just pick a pick a title.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: There are a lot of people who could do it
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: as well as I could, and for many of those jobs,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: that would be a yes. I'm staying right where I am,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: and I love the private secret thing.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: If there were that's interesting.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: It's still a lot of military and being deployed to
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: a foreign I mean, that's a stone cold sense of duty.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: It would, it would, It would depend. Look time, like,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: got to do two things real quick. It sounds like
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: you're deflecting to me, Well, no, I would. It depends
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: on what it is.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: And ps, by the way, Tracy, real quick, my producer
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: reminds us that bongino Is said the other day that
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: his agreement, or his whole agreement all along, was one
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: year with the FBI.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: So that Trump so talked to Trump on at the
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: first the entire half of the CBS Evening News, it
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: was great. And then on the way out one of
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: the four and the Ford workers loved him Selfies loved him,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: except maybe one guy who yelled, what did he yelled?
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Pedophile protector, at which point Trump mouths f you and
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: flips him off.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: And give him the bird. That's the president. That's the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: forty seventh president of the United States. A lot of
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: people are like, good, well, that's kind of the attitude
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: though that we all kind of have. We're having this
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: attitude about the anti ice protesters. We're having this attitude
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: about the ridiculous arguments about whether boys can play in
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: girls sports before the Supreme Court. This colossal waste of time.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, we we are seeing and was like, I've
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: had it. I've had it. I've had enough. And Trump's
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Trump's super power is reflecting how Americans feel. He is us,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, don't stand there and shriek
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: at the and by the way, hear what happened to
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the worker?
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, suspend them? Oh oh yeah, well they him yep, yep.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: So two minutes in our final two minutes and we
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: could do twelve. Okay, I dealt with this a little bit.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna do thirty seconds and then give it to
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: you because you and I looked and saw it and
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: God blessed Scott Adams and I'm just so great. Uh.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: We texted back and forth a little bit and hey,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Scott accepted Jesus as his personal savior? Did he? Because
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: in that statement he said, look, I've sort of looked
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: at the risks the rewards, so I'm going to accept Christ.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: And if I wake up in heaven surrounded by God
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: and everything, I was like, wall, this is awesome. And
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: you and I both know that's not the way it works.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: There has to be actual sincerity and if it was
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: that dismissive, then that didn't happen. So my wish is
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: to be optimistic and say that was just Scott being
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: kind of satirical and kind of snarky, meaning what he
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: said up and that in those final moment, it's in
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: the final throws that he approached that that issue with
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: the required sincerity and is with the Lord today. That's
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: my wish, that's my wish as well.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm not going to get between Scott Adams
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and and and God. I don't know what was in
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Scott's heart is head. He might have been sort of
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: riley pointing out, you know, hey, the risk reward. Look,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I think Scott probably appreciates the debate that he created
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: in death. But for me, my my mission on earth
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: is to try to share the love of Jesus Christ
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: with as many people as I can and get as
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: many people as possible to do what you and I
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: have done, and that is accept Jesus Christ as our
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Lord and savior. And if Scott Adams did that, that's
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: fine by me. That's all it was.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, I want a legacy. What a guy wasn't
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: it Greg Guttfeld to others, to so many people. And
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I have a couple of eclips to play today of him.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: There's there just there's there's there's another clip of him
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: talking about what laziness is. Laziness isn't Laziness happens when
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: you focus too much on the work you have to
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: do and what a pain in the neck add is,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: and not on the end result of the greatness that
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: will happen if you do the work, if you focus
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: and you know what that results, and not so much
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: on the process, you won't be lazy anymore. You'll energize.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: And you know what's fascinating about him, He was posting
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and broadcasting till almost the very bitter end. I don't
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: know about you. I'm going to kind of like, just
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: when it's my turn, I'm not sure I'm going to
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: be looking into a camera to do my daily podcast.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: When you get a scratchy throat, it's your last day.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I'm in the ICU with a hangnail, so I'm will know.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: I want to make that too soon. Stop that.
