days, it is the 2 towns on the road that connects mckellar and abas app about some thoughts from mcafee turnville. now as a professor also knew university college and his world leaders need to be ready to deal with an ethiopian without prime minister avia that i think we have to be realistic and, and just see the challenge ahead. even though t d, f and oil a might take of this other bar, the war will not be older. the unrest and, and the resistance particularly from them hot political link will continue. and we do also have added korea president of way of north, just waiting for the war to come on a train soil. so i think the u. n. and the us should be more realistic in their approaches to the situation. just to say that we are concerned and call for negotiations over and over and over again. doesn't really help the situation on the ground. we need to be much more realistic in the approach to the situation. and now i think that the national community really need to focus on establish haitian intervention post. i'll be awesome. and that's where the focus should be, would on sudan as well

like an unvaccinated person, i can see they were afraid that cockamamie interview he gave to pat mcafeet the team absolutely they knew that he was not a vaccinated party. and they let him present as such and i think it's because both the team and aaron rodgers didn't want to be embarrassed so i wonder where this courage came from for him to talk about it now because he always could have said the things that he is saying right now. it only came up when he tested positive but i am curious as to why given the resolve that he seems to have. >> you think he should be allow today play this week? >> um, if he tests negative, then i am inclined to say yeah because i really think that the packers are the real guilty party for him being able to flout these rules as such. it is their responsibility to enforce them. they allowed him to get away with it. so if he is healthy enough to play, then yeah i think he should play. i just want him to be able to answer, for himself, why did he feel the need to lie to people act it in the first place? because that is the one thing he didn't seem to want to ans

then aaron attempted to explain himself on the "pat mcafee show," a former punter for the indianapolis colts. aaron was on to fire back at the woke mob. >> i go back to these two questions for the, you know, this woke mob. number one, if the vaccine is so great, then how come people are still getting covid and spreading covid and unfortunately, dieing from covid? >> jimmy: right, and if parachutes are so great, how come eleven people died skydiving last year? the fact of the matter is, the risk of dieing from covid is 11 times higher if you aren't vaccinated. this is a dumb question. but you'll never guess who he is getting his medical advice from. >> i consulted a good friend of mine, joe rogen. >> jimmy: the guy on the left is trying not to laugh. according to rodgers, one of the things rogan recommended was ivermectin. here's the thing i don't get, you won't take the vaccine, but you will take ivermectin. that you know is safe. "good old ivermectin!" "now that's a product i can trust!" and by the way, if you're looking for advice from a former host of "the man show?" next time, call
