Fox News host Jeanine Pirro was stunned into silence during a segment about the new COVID vaccines and resurgence of the virus this week after he co-host Jessica Tarlov pointed out that Pirro is, in fact, vaccinated. Pirro didn't like that her colleague reminded the audience that the host had gotten the COVID vaccines, but she was too stunned to say anything in return. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

During a Fox News segment this week on the show, the five, the Lone Liberal. On that show, Jessica Tarlov was talking about social media companies and how they're now, once again, trying to navigate what to do about Covid vaccine misinformation. Do we go all out and ban any talking to the vaccines? Do we go after the the liars and the anti-vaxxers? What do we do? That's what Fox News was talking about. But while Tarlov was presenting her point, an interesting thing happened right after Tarlov said that the vaccines are in fact safe. She got a little snicker from co-host Judge Janine Pirro, at which point Tarlov made a comment that effectively stunned Pirro into silence. And here it is, Peter, but the damage had already been done from that. And you need to find some safe middle ground where people know that the vaccine is safe for you, but you don't. Oh, well, what do you mean you look, you're fine. You're vaccinated. What do you, oh, It's your turn. It's your, it's your segment. She's right. You're fine. You're vaccinated and you're fine. In fact, hundreds of millions of people in this country alone are vaccinated and they're fine like that alone. Just looking at the numbers, refutes every single thing that these moronic anti-vaxxers say like, oh, these are dangerous. Oh, we're the Guinea pigs. You hear the idiots and the fedoras yelling Guys are, are there a couple hundred million people in this country that are all just like immediately dying right now? Do they all have like these massive health issues and they're just dropping dead left and right? I mean by the millions, because again, hundreds of millions of people just in this country have taken those vaccines and they're fine. We are fine. I'm fine. I plan on taking the new vaccine as soon as it's available. I have a lot of travel coming up at the end of this year. My daughter recently had Covid. I had Covid last summer, very mild. But I don't want to take that chance again. I will do what I have to do to protect myself and family. And I have no problem with that. I don't think that's stupid. I think it's very stupid to pretend that there's millions of people out there suffering when clearly there is not. Are there side effects for some people? Absolutely. There's side effects for some people who take Mucinex. Hell, there's side effects for people who take acetaminophen Tylenol. But you have to look at the overall, do the majority of people have side effects? No. Do you know 10% of people have side effects? No. Do what you have to do to protect yourself. And if you have issues, if you have questions, don't listen to somebody on a podcast. Don't take your medical advice from somebody who's making money off telling you that advice. Go talk to a medical professional. Talk to a doctor that you trust, a doctor you've gone to for years. Those are the people who have your best interests at heart. And as for Fox News, let's not forget that they had a policy. If you wanted to work in that building, you had to be vaccinated. So those very same people as Tar Lav pointed out, snickering about saying the vaccines are safe. They've all had the shot too. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzJD8Zp2PCo

President Biden has told the Federal Trade Commission to look into possible price gouging by oil companies as gas prices continue to rise in the U.S. Biden believes that there could be more to the price increases than just basic supply and demand issues, and he wants to get to the bottom of this. This is actually something that should have happened many years ago, as gas prices appear to rise and fall on whims without outside factors interfering.

President Biden recently called for a probe into oil companies operating here in the United States to see if there is any price gouging going on. As gas prices continue to rise for American consumers. Now, the rising in gas prices has been a flash point. Republicans have jumped on it, trying to paint this as Joe Biden's America. And of course a good amount of it is due to the inflation that we're seeing. But Biden wants the federal trade commission to look into this because when you match up the profits to the price increases, you know, inflation is supposed to be due to an increase in demand and a decrease in supply. And possibly even of course, to increased production costs. The numbers simply don't add up the Biden administration says, and they're right about that oil industry profits here in the United States are set to be double what they were just two years ago. So if, if suddenly you're, you're having to pay more for production and prices have gone up and consumers are buying less, but your profits are still double. Yeah. That kind of makes it look like something illegal could be happening here could be happening. May ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_LFZK4YfaU

Multiple Republican lawmakers - including Matt Gaetz - are openly suggesting abolishing the VA, which provides healthcare services to millions of veterans and military members in the United States. This is one of the most brazen assaults on our service members that we have seen since the last time Republicans actually voted to NOT provide healthcare services to veterans just a few months ago.

A video resurfaced over the last couple of days of an event featuring Matt Gates, my congressman from up here in Florida's first congressional district where Gates at an event hosted by Freedom Works was talking about the fact that he would like to abolish the va, right? The uh, organization that provides healthcare for over 9 million veterans here in the United States. Matt Gates says, Let's do away with it and privatize it, of course, because people could be making money off this and they're not, and that's just wrong, I guess here in the United States. Here's what Gates said from that video. This is my question to the group. Is it saveable? Why not abolish the va? Take all of the money that we are otherwise spending and go to any willing provider system inside of our communities, and then if people get bad care, they can vote with their feed. And you don't have a two-tier system of healthcare in this country with our veterans and then with everyone else. So are you saying you wanna make veterans suffer more? Like it's a two tiered system? They get all this good care, which by the way, if you look at polls, most veterans actually really like the va. So it's overwhelmingly popular with veterans, but you want to take that away just so they can suffer like the rest of us through the broken healthcare system we have in the United States. That's what you want. It's not even just about privatization. It's about, well, they've got it good. We're stuck in this crap system, put them in the crap. Um, here's the thing about Matt Gates saying this, and by the way, he is not the only Republican official out there saying this right now, but he is obviously the most hypocritical right here in Matt Gates district. Do you know what we have? If three massive military bases, Matt Gates' district is a military district, which is why it's so red, by the way, folks, But if these individuals at these military bases, and of course all the retired military in this area, because that's about all we got, but if they actually voted based on policies instead of their tribal team, sports politics of I'm a Republican, so I only care about Republicans, I'll only vote for them because I'm not looking at the gosh darn issues. If they actually did look at the issues, a Republican would never win this area ever again for the rest of eternity. How many of these Republican veterans and active duty soldiers here in America in Florida's first district, how many of you depend on that VA for your healthcare and how many of you know that Matt Gates wants to do away with it? How many of you are actually paying attention right now to what your elected official, the guy? Most of you have cast multiple ballots for how many of you are paying attention to what He wants to do to your life? I don't know what the answer is, but I do know that it's not enough. And even if it were enough, I don't even know that it would matter because the people down here are so tribal that he could walk up to them and tell them, I'm gonna take away your healthcare and you're gonna have to pay everything out of pocket and you're gonna be screwed just like the rest of us. He could do that to them and they would say, Yes, sir. Can't wait to go vote for you in November, sir. Because that's how tribal this area is. It's disgusting. It's pathetic, but that's why people like Matt Gates, people like Marjorie Taylor Green, ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3jtiie0v78

After spending months swearing that they never wanted to cut Social Security and Medicare, Republicans in the House introduced legislation this week that would...cut Social Security and Medicare. This is a political Party filled with liars and whiners, and they are going to do everything that they can in order to screw over working class people.

Well folks, the 175 member Republican Study Committee came out with their proposed budget this week. That is possibly one of the worst things the Republicans in Washington DC have ever come up with. The Republicans this year have spent months, months screaming at the top of their lungs that they do not want to cut social security. They do not wanna cut Medicare. They're not doing all these horrible things that President Biden and the Democrats say they're doing. Those people they say are liars. A Marjorie Taylor Greene stood up during Biden's State of the Union and called him a liar when he said Republicans want to cut Social security in Medicare. So it should come as a surprise to no one that this Republican study commission's. First item up for cuts is of course, social security followed secondly by Medicare. What Republicans would do with this budget proposal is increase the retirement age for social security, raising it from 67 to 69 years old because they say, Hey, people are living longer, so we may as well raise the retirement age so we can squeeze a couple more years of work out of them. The only problem with that is that for the first time in a hundred years, uh, life expectancy here in the United States has actually declined. And for the record, life expectancy for someone born today in the United States is actually 10 years lower than somebody born. Right now in Japan, we're about five or six years under the life expectancy for England. Life expectancy in the United States is not increasing as Republicans tell us. So if they go through with their dastardly plan here to raise the retirement age of social security, you're probably looking at maybe four and a half years, five and a half for women, four and a half for men. Because there is a one year discrepancy in life expectancy between the two genders. Um, you are gonna only have a couple years to enjoy your retirement. And of course, the Republicans know that they have these actuarial tables. They know that life expectancy is not increasing in the United States, but they also know that corporations want workers. So your retirement can be damned. They don't care. That's also why as part of their provisions here, they have a plan to privatize parts of Medicare, which would of course increase costs for those on Medicare, but it would save the government a couple of dollars here and there. So what's the big deal? Right? That's not the only thing it does. In addition to screwing over elderly retirees, Republicans also wanna make the tax cuts from 2017 permanent. So a big handout to the wealthy elite corporations get their fair share, of course of that tax cut, even Republicans and some Democrats in Congress Will be the beneficiaries of those tax cuts. But if you're an elderly low income retiree, you're screwed because Republicans want you to be screwed. The cruelty is the point, and that's not even the only cruel thing that this piece of legislation does. It also increases work requirements, of course, for every single person in this country on a federal, uh, subsidy program. You know, there there's no work requirements of course for the wealthy elite, right? You get your tax cuts no matter what, but you don't have to work. But if you wanna get food stamp benefits, that average, what? $6 a day on the high end? Yeah. You have to show that you're actually out there busting your to get your $6. It would also repeal the part of the Inflation Reduction Act that allows the federal government to negotiate drug prices for people on Medicare. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH88LbilaeU
