The devastating financial and human toll of COVID-19 demands a conversation about accountability. Ken Mercer presents a straightforward proposal: The CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY should forgive the $1 trillion loan America took during the pandemic as partial compensation for the disease that originated within its borders.

  • The numbers are staggering and deserve our attention—1.2 million Americans dead from COVID-19, exceeding our combined losses in World War II and the Civil War. 
  • 115 million Americans testing positive and millions facing lifelong respiratory complications, the pandemic's shadow stretches far beyond mere statistics. 
  • The economic impact reaches an estimated $14 trillion, yet remarkably, we borrowed $1 trillion from the very nation where the virus originated.


Mercer builds his case on what we know about the pandemic's beginnings in Wuhan and the Chinese Communist Party's decision to halt domestic travel while allowing international flights to continue—effectively containing the virus within China while permitting its global spread. 

This response raises profound questions about responsibility and fairness in international relations.

The proposal isn't just about money; it's about basic fairness "around kitchen tables" across America. While Washington insiders might dismiss such straightforward thinking, Mercer argues that everyday Americans understand justice differently. 

A $1 trillion loan forgiveness would immediately reduce our national deficit by 2.5% while establishing a precedent for accountability in global health crises.

What do you think? Is loan forgiveness a reasonable first step toward justice, or should we be pursuing other forms of accountability? Share your thoughts, subscribe to hear more compelling perspectives on American history, and join the conversation about how nations should respond when public health failures cross borders and cause global catastrophes.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is Ken Mercer of Mercer Moments in American
History.
My program today is very simplewe should sue the communists
for COVID for at least $1trillion.
Mr Mercer, what are you doing?
We should sue the communistsfor COVID for at least $1
trillion.

(00:21):
When I say the communists, I'mtalking about the CCP, the
Chinese Communist Party.
The facts we know in alaboratory in Wuhan, china, is
where this terrible diseaseoriginated.
There are different theories.
Was it a terrible lab accident?
That happened in a labexperiment?
Some accident?

(00:41):
Some folks say maybe it was amilitary biological weapon, a
biological bomb.
There may be another theory,but we know it came from the
Chinese Communist Party.
In Wuhan, china, the communistsdid a very wise thing.
They immediately frozeintrastate travel.
Travel within China was frozenbecause they did not want the

(01:05):
disease to spread.
However, they allowed a couplehundred thousand people,
tourists, to go to a placecalled our United States of
America.
And if you've seen the map ofCOVID, it's like the worst
science fiction movie ever, theworst sci-fi movie ever.
There's not one state, onecounty, one city, one town, one

(01:27):
village that wasn't impacted byCOVID.
And there are numbers that youand I should know.
And I'll be honest.
I go to the CDC and I try toput things together.
It's not easy, but here's somesimple numbers.
How many Americans have diedfrom COVID?
You ready for this?
1.2 million Americans died dueto COVID.

(01:48):
Now for a reference pointthat's more than the Americans
who died in World War II and ourCivil War combined.
1.2 million Americans died fromCOVID and out of our population
of 330 million Americans, 115million tested positive.

(02:09):
115 million Americans testedpositive, some more than once,
for COVID.
And there are millions ofAmericans who were hospitalized
due to COVID and will sufferrespiratory illness for the rest
of their lives.
And, my friends, I have to lookthis stuff up.

(02:30):
We should all know thesenumbers.
Why are we not being taughtthis?
The cost to America COVID a veryconservative number was $14
trillion, that's trillion with aT dollars.
Then our politicians committedpolitical insanity.
We needed money to help ourcountry during COVID.

(02:56):
You want to guess who weborrowed $1 trillion from?
Let me hear you.
Yeah, the CCP, the ChineseCommunist Party.
So that's my premise Party.
So that's my premise.
I'm starting with 1.2 millionAmericans who died, 115 million
infected.
Millions of others will haverespiratory illness the rest of
their lives.
The cost of $14 trillion I'msaying, as a sign of good faith,

(03:18):
we should negotiate with theChinese Communist Party to
forgive that $1 trillion loan.
There's a price to pay, apenalty for what's happened.
That loan should be forgiven.
Our national deficit is $34trillion, so that would save
about 2.5% of our deficit in oneday, in one day.

(03:40):
So there you are, folks.
This is Ken Mercer of MercerMoments in American History.
If it costs us $14 trillion, $1trillion is a bargain.
Immediately, that $1 trillionloan, covid, should be forgiven,
forgiven Within the next 30days.
Of this announcement I'm makingright now, and I know the

(04:02):
Washington politicians and thelobbyists, if you will the swamp
, the swamp will say mr Mercer,that's not the way things really
work.
Well, you're wrong, becausearound the kitchen tables of a
place called the United Statesof America, that is exactly the

(04:24):
way things work, especially interms of fairness, of what is
right, and it'd be an incrediblegesture by the Chinese
Communist Party to say we'regoing to forgive that $1
trillion loan.
This is Ken Mercer MercerMoments in American History.
Thank you.

(04:45):
May God bless you.
