27:08 In Arizona, health officials have sent four flu samples to the Centers for Disease Control for testing. It takes days to confirm whether these are actually swine flu. She's calling it H1N1 virus because that's the technical name of it. Everybody calls it swine flu, but she has the right name for it. And everybody's emailing going, the illegals are bringing it across the border. Relax! There's a flu out there. This is the wrong, this is the, this is the wrong, hmm. Did you change clips because this is now a different clip? That's what you, no yeah you said play the sub clip.
27:43 No, no, I said don't know. I'm sorry. We don't have to play the sub clip because the isn't this you just heard is fully tested thing But that clip which is a different clip. I want to play too, but after the main clip. I'm sorry here we go first in Poughkeepsie, New York and organized releases one of the organizers of the protests today in Albany, New York ma'am good to see you tell me why Why is it good to see her? Well, this is unbelievable. Tell me why. Tell me why it's good to see you. Well, I'm glad to be here. Yeah. Tell me why. Well, I'm really glad to be here John so I can play the wrong clips out of order. That's why I'm glad to be here John. Let me tell you we got this letter from our employer and it took us completely by surprise. They were telling us that Wow, okay. She's either told this story before or she's a media professional. She is not just some random person. She sounds good. She sounds real good. You know, you're gonna need to be getting
28:36 these seasonal flu shots and these H1N1 swine flu shots as a condition of our employment. Never before in my life has anyone told me as a condition of my employment, you know, that I need to be injected with agents that I don't necessarily feel comfortable being injected with. And that's how we all feel. There are very few in the workplace that are willing to you know just get in a line and say go for it but most of us just don't feel that it's safe. Nasty subcontext there, get in a line and say just go for it. Shades of World War II there. Well first of all now wait, is that you or is that Shepard Smith saying? Shepard Smith interrupting. I'm sorry.
29:19 It sounds like you. I keep getting freaked out. Well, thank you very much. I was trying to sound like Shepard Smith today. Is it Shepard Smith or John C. Dvorak? Mmm, read the book. I gotta get in here. CDC says it's safe. And before we and our parents and our children go stand in line and I'm gonna hear from healthcare workers in Poughkeepsie, New York that they don't think it's safe. Why the heck should I get in line? That sounds like a bad thing for the general population. I feel like we ought to trust the CDC on this and if not, why not? See, I hear how his southern accent comes out when he gets into that. I think it's a bad thing to be staying alive for that, right? Tell me how that works. Well, you know, when these drug companies will, you know,
29:58 will publicly state that they are not going to be liable for anything that happens to us when we take these vaccinations. When the makers of the drugs, you can go and see all over the media that they won't take it themselves, well why should I want to put that in my body? And that's the general argument. I thought the general argument was that you didn't want the government telling you anything that you can shoot into your body, which I sort of understand, except for the fact that children are required to have a lot of shots. Every child in the United States is, once you get into school. That is not true, is it? There's a few shots that you're supposed to get, yeah. No, but it says required. Yeah, there's a few required shots. By law required? I don't know, I think in some states, yes, I think diphtheria... Okay, in some states, but even that is... I don't think it's actually 100% required. Well, it's probably a good idea to get your polio vaccination. It's probably a good thing. Yeah, diphtheria is another one you don't want. Which is... they're related actually, I think.
31:01 I don't think so. But yeah, polio comes from that. It's like, you know, if there's some. All right. I'm not a doctor. You're right. You have to have it. He can't do the school. Well, Shepard, will you feel comfortable being told that you're going to lose your job potentially? I would you as a condition of your employment need to be having a fast tracked uh... drug i mean the fda does not have the best track record with by a lot of medications look at all the medications that have caused injury to people that came out and people said oh yeah these are safe these are affected they've been tested here we all know that this is a fast track medication on the contains the marisol contains mercury contains a lot of things that i'm afraid of the line much
31:45 I'm afraid that the CDC has gotten a vaccine together because they're afraid this flu is going to spread across America and kill a lot of people. and the health care workers in Albany, New York. No, no, I'm telling you, why don't we just be honest for a second? When the CDC comes out and says that, and then, I mean, I understood this, my understanding of your argument was that you didn't want the government telling you what to put in your body. I understood that. But this thing with you not really having direct knowledge of what's in this vaccine and then telling our viewers, some of whom might be very, very sick if they don't get this vaccine, I just don't feel like that's very responsible. There's a lot of information out there.
32:38 why he's going so far south with it but it actually gets worse and if you remember if people listen to the show a lot I had another Fox clip when Bill O'Reilly had the code pink woman on who had reasonable arguments about Afghanistan. He just told her to shut up. He told her to shut up. He told her to shut up and McChrystal knows what he's doing. It's like follow what the government says and where is this line and Fox how does that jive? Anyway let's... Out there that suggests that the swine flu in most people is a mild illness and that you will derive better immunity from a mild case in which your body produces the antibodies for. And it kills others.
33:19 You know, and the seasonal flu kills a lot of people every year. I know it does. I know it does. Well, I'm not here to... This is just sort of blindsided me. My understanding was that you didn't think the federal government ought to be telling you what you must shoot into your body. That I got. But you've done no research on this thing. The Centers for Disease Control has dozens and dozens and hundreds of dedicated dozens and dozens of hundreds of dozens of scores of lots of tons of people dedicated to do to checking people who the last thing in the world they want to do is hurt anybody
33:56 Whoa, I can hear the conspiracy bells ringing on that one. And I can't imagine a world where they would put something out that they knew was not necessarily safe and to have a healthcare worker who's not done a single bit of research on this particular vaccine to tell our viewers that it might be bad for them to me seems irresponsible. What do you think? Okay, so you suck ass. What do you think? That's exactly what he's saying. You're a horrible, horrible, horrible person. How dare you question the government? The CDC knows best. You are terrible. What do you think? Mr. Smith, it's presumptuous for you to tell me and all the health care workers that feel the same way that I do that we haven't done any research, that we haven't looked into this, that we've not done any reading. Have you? We have a lot. Yes, we have. So you think, based on your research, the vaccine that the CDC is going to put out to try to keep people from getting flu is bad for them? Well, you know, it's the C- Okay.
34:57 She's good, but then the minute you answer a question like that with, well, you know, that's weak. So Shepard Smith... Well, I don't think she was expecting to be attacked. It's a mistake a lot of people make on the show. Yeah, because it's Fox. She didn't think, she thought she was going to get, well you know, there you go, serves you right. But again, before we wind up this clip, this is exactly the point, the whole point of one central source running all media, left and right, CNN to MSNBC to Fox, is to create this controversy
