đŸ’¥ Pentagon Pete Accused of WAR CRIMES? | Karel Cast 25-159
Today’s show dives into a breaking and explosive question: Did Pentagon Pete commit a war crime after a strike that killed innocent civilians on a foreign ship? And even if he did… would Trump ever allow him to be prosecuted, or will loyalty override justice yet again?
Then we shift to something more personal:
The holidays are here, and while the decorations are up, something feels heavier this year. Is the season losing its joy because the world feels so dark right now? You’re not alone if you feel it.
Plus: Did you shop this weekend, or has consumerism lost its sparkle?
And in honor of World AIDS Day, the U.S. government will no longer commemorate it — a disturbing sign of the times. I also learned about Allen R. Schindler, Jr., a name every American should know. The truth is clear: the state of being gay in the USA is not in a good place.

Corrella is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Now it's show time.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Washington had a war criminal in it. Lord have mercy
on his goal. His name is Pentagon Pete. He's gonna
be trying to Oh no, we hope right, we can

Speaker 4 (01:00):
It is the crow Cast. I am Corel. Happy Monday, December,
first World AIDS Day. In spite of the United States
not wanting to participate, you know, thus the term world.
The rest of the world is participating. And so much
going on. You know, it's the holiday season. It's officially
in full swing. It is December, the last month of
(01:22):
the year. There's only thirty one days until the new year.
And you know a lot is going on and we're
going to talk about it today and this week and
next with you right here in the Corell Cast. Don't
forget to like and subscribe and all of that good stuff.
And of course without you patrons at Patreon dot com,
forward slash. Really, Carrell, I just wouldn't exist. I wouldn't
(01:44):
even be here. So did you have a good holiday weekend?
Did you have good Thanksgiving? I haven't talked to you
since Thanksgiving. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I
had a great one. Steve and I went to Crossroads Kitchen, wonderful,
wonderful place here in Las Vegas where they play seventies
white People rock, and they had a great buffet and
a Lion's made mushroom that made me want to slap somebody.
(02:06):
It was so good. I don't know how they make
that lion made mushroom taste the way that they do,
but dear God, it was like the best dark meat
turkey you just ever had, and it was so good.
It was just so good. Steve had a good time,
I had a good time. A good time was had
by all. So I hope that you had a good
time on your Thanksgiving as well. I felt compelled, like
(02:28):
the power of Santa compels me. I felt compelled over
the holiday weekend to put up my Christmas stuff. So yesterday,
for some reason, I found myself putting on Christmas carols
putting up a tree. Two trees. I actually have a
little one. I won this big and then I have
a regular tree. Oh, and then I have a tree
out front. Three trees of various shapes and sizes, A
(02:50):
wreath on the door that's decorated, and lights on the balcony. Oh,
four trees because my pencil cactus. I decorated that too.
Listening to Christmas carols sing along and it was funny
because I said, you know, you're not expecting company, like
you might be the only one to see your Christmas decoration,
so why bother? And I said, because you freaking deserve it.
(03:14):
Because even if you are the only one to see
all of your Christmas stuff, you love your Christmas stuff.
I have ornaments from my mother. I have ornaments to
Jake and Heather made. Every ornament means something. I don't
have just ornaments. Every ornament means something. Uh, And so
I put it up hopefully someone else will see it.
And you know, listen to the music, and you know,
(03:36):
Mariah Carey's here in town doing her Christmas show. And
Christmas Black Friday happened. Today is Cyber Monday. I bought
some shoes over the weekend that were fifty percent off.
It's time to replace. I have six pairs of walking
tennis shoes, hiking and walking, three pairs of hiking walking,
and three pairs of running, and it's time to replace
(03:57):
them because I put on a bridge about two thousand
miles a year on my shoes and broken up. That's
about four hundred miles per pare you know, so I
wear a lot of you know, I wear out shoes.
There were good sales on Hoka and Morels, so I
went and got some. But you know, I have to
(04:19):
tell you, with the holidays come the help, come the
holiday melancholy, you know, the I don't know, maybe you
guys don't get it, but I do. And the introspection
and all of that. I, you know, looked looking forward
to the new year. Like you, I want changes, I
(04:40):
want a better life. I want more income. I want
more freedom, which the income will bring. That all means
a bigger show or more shows, or different kind of shows,
or revenue streams. And I'm excited to do those, but
also scared as AI takes over more and more of
the music industry, the attainment industry, almost any industry. So
(05:04):
like you, I look ahead and I have some trepidation.
I have some melancholy about how to get what I
want from the future in the ever changing world. And
I don't think I'm alone in that. I think all
of us, if we're in above fifty, are looking at
the world ahead and going you know, it's not a
friendly place for us and the things that we do.
(05:28):
The you and I are skills. Our skill set, whether
it's entertaining, singing, dancing, comic, you know, podcaster, or you know,
an accountant or a lawyer or a doctor, whatever your
skill set is, AI is snapping at your heels. And
that really scares me because I'm not adapting. Well, I'm
(05:50):
not one of these young people who are making a
million dollars a month.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
And so I had some melancholic This is a.

Really Corell dot com daily. You're missing out.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Get the podcast videos and the blug including recipes at

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Show Time is here. No time to fear.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Correll is so near because show time is here.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Correll is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
So yeah, So just my message to you is melancholy
over the holidays is normal if you get it. Don't
think you're abnormal. You're not. Depression over the holiday is normal.
More of our relatives die over the holidays than any
other time. More people die in the month of December
over the holidays if they're a nursing care or elder
(06:50):
care many of you. I lost my mom and dad
December twenty sixth and December twenty eighth, or maybe it
was the twenty seventh and twenty ninth. I'd have to look,
but it was the week between Christmas and New Year
that I lost both my parents twelve eighteen years apart,
something like that sixteen years apart. So certainly, depression over
(07:10):
the holidays is normal. Just don't get stuck in it.
Don't get stuck in that rut. And wanting to change
is normal over the holiday season. Getting ready for the
new year, planning your life is just normal over the
holiday season. So with me, as we'll be doing the introspection. Look,
(07:30):
I have a lot more to give, I have a
lot more to offer, and I want to find ways
to do that that are lucrative, obviously, and you know
I'm not done being me. My neck may be sagging,
and my teeth may be separating, and all the things
they pick me apart for on TikTok may in fact
(07:52):
be happening, because that's what they do all of my
videos on TikTok. They attack my speech, they attack my looks.
They never once attack the issue unless it's to say Biden.
These maga people, all they can do is personal attacks
or Biden Biden, Biden Biden. That's it. There are two
note ponies, personal attacks or Biden Biden Biden. And that's
(08:14):
because that's what their leader does. And they're just parents,
you know, They're just parents of what their leader does.
Their leader says Biden by and Biden. And personal attack,
personal attack, personal attack. Whether it's a member of the media,
whether it's an opponent, a rival, someone that is not
on board with them, it doesn't matter. Trump attacks people personally.
He's a despicable, horrible, evil person. He is the lowest
(08:37):
scum of the earth. And I'm just tired of hiding that.
I'm tired of not saying how I truly feel about him.
He is scum. And now we have Pete Hegberger, Hegsworth
or whatever his name is, war criminal. Now look George W.
Bush is a war criminal, unindicted war criminal. Many of
the things George W. Bush did were works. Benjamin Netanyahoo
(09:03):
is a war criminal asking to be pardoned. They have
already indicted Netan Yahoo in the World Court on War Crimes.
He is a war criminal. And now we have one here,
but we have we have several George W. Bush war criminal,
George Herbert Walker Bush who is now dead, unindicted war criminal.
(09:24):
There may have been some instances were Barack Obama and
Yes Biden and others. You know, I was very uneasy
with Barack Obama doing drone strikes that were basically unauthorized
and against targets that weren't necessarily the most military of targets.
You know, family weddings and things like that to take out,
(09:48):
you know, somebody, so they take out a whole wedding.
I think many presidents have committed war crimes, but in
this case, now they're going after Pete for being a murderer.
He's a murderer. They did a strike on a Venezuelan
quote drug boat. Why the president is about to pardon
a major drug trafficker, So why are we even fighting
(10:12):
a war on drugs? When the commander in chief cease
fit to pardon a drug trafficker. But they attack this boat, right,
and they do their bombs. The boat is disabled, and
then they go back because there were survivors, and shoot
the boat again. Now, our policy is if people survive
(10:34):
and attack, we take them prisoner, we capture them, whatever
it might be. We don't go back and annihilate them.
And we did at the behest of Pete who was
working at the behest of Trump. It is a war crime.
That's a war crime. Now, the notion of war crimes really,
(10:56):
you know, war is a crime. Okay, So to put
those two words together, only humans would do that. War
is a crime. It is a crime against all humanity
to fight a war. And you're like, well, sometimes you
have to. Yeah, I'm not saying that they're unjust. I'm
(11:17):
simply saying that war is a crime. It is a
terrible blight against humanity. Both sides suffer in a war.
Nobody wins, and they're never ending for the most part.
And so the notion that you can commit a crime
when your job is to kill is amusing. Only humans
(11:44):
would put rules on war, okay, only humans would do
that because that's stupid. You tell a soldier to go
and kill, but only kill threats. Don't kill civilians. If
they're the enemy, why not you know, if Iranians or
(12:04):
Iraqis or Afghanis or Russians or whomever, if they're the enemy,
then why not kill them all? No? No, no, just
the soldiers, Okay, okay. So war is a crime. So
the notion that we put those two words together, it's
like jumbo shrimp, you know, compassionate conservative, you know, they
(12:27):
just two words that don't belong together. But there we
have it. And so now Pete is probably going to
But why unless he's tried at the Hague, unless he's
tried at a court outside of our jurisdiction, unless he
is sentenced by someone outside of our jurisdiction, Donald Trump
(12:51):
will just pardon him. Donald Trump's not gonna let his
secretary of Defense or secretary of war go down for this.
He'll pardon him. So this is all I know that
we need to bring these people to account because and
we do. But the problem is until you bring the
head of the snake into account, Donald Trump for his crimes,
(13:15):
then whatever happens below him doesn't matter, because they're gonna
get pardoned, so you can go through the machinations of
trying to convict Pete of war crimes. I think just
the way he looks as a crime. The way he
talks is a crime. The way he hides his gainess
is a crime. Oh did I say it? I did?
(13:38):
I did. The biggest homophobes in the world are men
that want to have a gay experience that's been proven scientifically. Okay,
so all you haters out there of mine on TikTok
and Instagram and such, all of you that post all
the homophobic stuff, we all know you really want to
sleep with me, so you know it's scientific fact. So Pete,
(14:02):
I truly believe, when under the inbibing of alcohol, would
probably swing both ways. But that you know, that's who cares.
I don't care. What I do care about is he
is a war criminal. He should not be in charge
of the Department of Defense. Maybe, just maybe this will
(14:22):
get him removed. But who's gonna put in his place? Today?
One of his lawyers was deemed an illegal appointment. The
lawyer that who is it, what's her name? She has
a name, and it's her appointment has been deemed illegal,
which is why a case has been thrown out against
(14:45):
Komy and such. What is her name? I'll let me
find it. Alena Haba, Trump's former lawyer is unlawful US
attorney Appeals Court says, unlawfully serving as the US attorney
for New Jersey. Oh, you know, but again, these people
don't care about the law. That's why. Yeah, sure, pizza
(15:08):
war criminal. Absolutely, he murdered people. He's a murderer. Why
don't we just call that what it is. He's not
a war criminal. He's a murderer. He ordered the murder.
The boat had already been attacked, it was disabled. He
ordered the remaining people on board murdered. He is a murderer.
(15:29):
Let's just call it as we see it on this
December first, honey. And what will happen to him? Well,
whatever does, he'll be pardoned. He will be pardoned. Thank you.
In the chatroom at YouTube dot com forward slash, really Carrell,
they were giving me the name Haba. Thank you so much,
Sandy says, I've always gotten depressed during the holidays. It's
worse after Christmas because there's been such a build up
(15:50):
and then it's just over. Yes, there are these all
videos going around online now it says you don't know
what it feels like to go from this to that.
So one restaurant that influencer you know told the world
about and then was crowded with lines out, the door
is suddenly empty, and a performer posted him on stage
(16:11):
and then afterwards him backed him in his room by
himself in the hotel, just watching TV. I know that feeling. Okay,
there's nothing. It is so frigging depressing after a show.
Why do you think we entertainers surround ourselves with people
after a show, because to go from that to down here,
(16:35):
it's depressing. And the holidays are the same way, you know,
And I'd like to talk about Pete, but I think
the holidays are a more important topic because we are
told to be happy. Okay, it is drilled into our head.
You will be happy, God damn it. You better fucking
be happy, you know, jolly Christmas, Happy Christmas, blah blah
(16:55):
blah blah blah. So we are told to be happy,
but there's guilt that comes with the holiday. Look, all
of my friends are asking me what I want for Christmas,
And the truth is, I now know why old people
get socks and underwear and such A because we need them,
but B because the things we really want most people
(17:16):
can't buy us. I want two things for Christmas, two
and no one in the world is going to get
them for me. Nobody maybe myself. I want a new
vitam mix blender. My blender broke, and you know I'm
a cook. I use a blender, my bread My blender broke.
And I want the VitaminX a cent x five on sale.
(17:38):
It's five ninety nine on sale and that's today. The
sale ends today. The other thing I truly want is
a new motorcycle helmet, and I need one, and they're
between six hundred and eight hundred dollars for a good
motors I want a shoe birth or a showy because
they're the best and my head deserves it. Uh So,
(17:59):
no one gonna buy me a six hund Well Daniel
Charleston would have, but he's dead. But no one other
than him would buy me a six hundred dollars blender
for Christmas because no one can afford it. I mean,
I really want the vitamins A cent x five, I
really do. I also want a food processor. I want
the Brevil that cubes does cubing because my food processor broke,
(18:20):
so the lid broke, and you can't buy the lid.
So anyway, so no one's gonna get me that. So
short of that, I'm just telling everyone and just give
me what you want. I tell my niece and nephew,
get me maple syrup. They're luck. Really, I go, I
use a ton of maple syrup. It's expensive. Get me cashews.
I love cashews. I use a ton of cashoes. I
just made the best non dairy creamer out of cashews.
(18:43):
One cup of soaked cashews, one cup of oat milk homemade,
and a cup and a half of water, some vanilla
and six dates, all whizzed up delicious creamer because I
don't want any oil in my creamer because of my truglist.
Not my trucklift rides my LDO so anyway, so you know,
(19:05):
but we're told, and I want to get bigger gifts
from my family, but I can't afford it. You know.
I got Jake and Airy a seventy five dollars gift
card each for their bookstore in town. A lot of
people want gift store from bookstores, which is great, So
Jake and Airy I got them, so it's one hundred
and fifty. And then Emily, Oh my god, my niece's wife, Emily.
She I asked her what she wanted for Christmas. She said,
(19:27):
bad reies for power tools. I burst out laughing, and
she says, what's so funny. I go, the lesbian's asking
me for bad reies for power tools. It still tickles me.
She's getting badies. And then my then Heather wanted a
pizza stone and baking trays. So I spent about four
(19:50):
hundred dollars on the four of them, and that's about
all I got to spend. So I'm just gonna get
little gifts for Steve and Hannah and some people at
the park. And then my card. So I gotta get
cards and mail them out. That's fifty bucks sixty bucks.
So money is tight, and we all want to do
more than we can. We're told to be happy, we're
(20:11):
told to rejoice and saying to be grateful for the
things we have, but we all see the things slipping away.
You know, mortgages they're trying to do fifty year mortgages.
Now car loans they're trying to extend because no one
can afford anything groceries. Black Friday should have been at
the grocery store, cause I went shopping at Robertsons two
(20:31):
days ago and spent one hundred and seventy dollars, and
I'm like, what did I get? You know? So the
holidays are rough. I you know, I'm not one of
these people that think, oh, they're all just no. I
think the holidays are the roughest time of the year emotionally,
I really do, because we have so much conflicting stuff happening.
(20:52):
We're told to be happy, but there's stuff that makes
us unhappy. We're told to be grateful, but then we
have fear with Trump in office and the economy the
way that it is, and you know all of that.
So the holidays are the most schizophrenic time of year.
Be happy to be happy, all right? When we come
back partying criminals, Yahoo is out for one, tet'll get one.
(21:18):
We're partying a cocaine. It's darmout. You know. I'm gonna
lie about smash.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Now is show?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
All right? I gotta take a moment and talk to
you all seriously about my music. I love making music,
and it's getting harder and harder and harder. I have
no money for promotion of the new single. It cost
hundreds to try to get it on playlist and everything,
and I just don't have that and the label doesn't either,
So we're just gonna hope for the best, which doesn't
really work. But you know, what can I do? At
least it's gonna be out in the world. But one
(22:21):
of the things that you can do is go to
Spotify or go to Apple Music. Type in correl k
A R E l I Dance because okay, have I
even done this? Have I? I don't think I've done
this for myself. Let me launch go to Apple Music
(22:43):
or as I said, Spotify or Amazon Music. However, you
get your music, all right, and let's see what comes up.
Let's type in corel I Dance because click that. It
does not pop up yet? Does it not? Yet? It
should it's already it should be available for pre order.

So what's going on here? Why do I not see it? Hmm?
That's very odd? See that again. I'm telling you to
go pre order Corel I Dance because uh, and it's
not coming up, so I, you know, cubas it comes
up on Let's see what else? Uh? Really, corel YouTube?
(23:30):
No it's not coming up on the pre orders. Wow,
I wonder why I'll have to ask the label about that.
Swishcraft Records. I see it under you know, I see it.
So let me click on Apple, click on my Yeah. No,
(23:51):
it's it's not coming up for pre order. That's a problem. See,
because here I was gonna tell you, please go preorder,
Please go preorder. We gotta get pre orders. We got
to get preorders, and you can't. You can't pre order.
So that's a problem. So I will figure that out,
(24:11):
figure out why we can't pre order. But when it
comes out December sixth, I will need you to go
and download it, stream it. You know. I want a
lot for the song. I'm hoping good things will come
from the song, and it really, you know, means a
lot to me to have this song coming out. It's
(24:34):
a song that's very dear to my heart. It's about
you know, and we're going to talk about World AIDS
Day today. It's about the people who have gone on before,
who have died of HIV AIDS and how I still
dance because of them. So when it comes out December
(24:55):
six please go stream and go like go bookmark Correll.
I Dance because. And I'm about to send a note
to Matt Consola, who is my record label. As small
as he is, he tries his best, but I can't
pre order I Dance because? What's up? Okay? So yes, please,
(25:21):
I need your help with my music. If you haven't
streamed do you want to funk? If you haven't seen
the video yet, please go to my website reallycorrel dot
com or go to my YouTube which is YouTube dot
reallycorrel dot com, YouTube dot reallycorrel dot com. My name
is spelled Karl, So please participate in my music. I
(25:41):
need more of it to happen. That's still something AI
can't do. Go to her live so if we get
enough people listening to my music, I'll be able to
get booked. And also the song I Dance Because plays
into the topic today of World Ade's Day, because today
is World Aide's Day. I remember when World Aid's Day started.
And in the next in the part two of the show,
(26:02):
we are going to talk about that. So my question
to you down below today question of the day. What
do you think's gonna happen to Pentagon Pete? Will he
be convicted of a war crime? And if he is
will he ever serve any kind of meaningful sentence or
will Donald Trump just pardon him? You know, just will
he just pardon him? Because it appears to me that's
(26:27):
what's gonna happen that Yeah, he'll probably be tried. Uh
but oh and by the way, the shooter that killed
the National Guard, this guy was a red flag. Trump
granted him asylum, not Biden, but this guy was just
a red flag. Social workers were like, he hasn't left
(26:47):
his room in a week. He's become detached. Every single
sign that someone's gonna become a mass killer. And guess what,
he became a maskilar and terrible in Where was it?
The Northern California? A terrible mass shooting over the holiday?
Kids people shot at a birthday party. You know, they're
(27:11):
at a birthday party next to like a bowling alley
or something. And four people killed and twelve injured. Just
another day in America, right, Happy holidays? Mass shooting. Okay,
I watched a rom com. I watched this rom com
last night on Netflix. It's called The Christmas Heist or something.
It's very cute. It's from London. Very cute rom com
(27:34):
rom com formula. You know, no real big drama. No
one dies, It's very very cute. Just well, I decorated
and stuff and it was it was very very fun.
But yeah, all right, when we come back, we're gonna
talk about World AIDS Day, and you know that topic
is very dear to me since I lost most of
my friends to HIV AIDS. So we will talk about
(27:55):
what it means to have HIV AIDS, both back then
and in the world today. So we're gonna talk about that.
I'm also gonna be reading more of your comments in
my live chat room, which is live from ten to
eleven every day, and that's at a YouTube dot com
forward slash really Carrell. But if that's too much for
you to remember, just go YouTube dot reallycorrel dot com
(28:17):
and it takes you right to my YouTube channel. Let's see. Yeah,
Christmas music. You know, I'm always torn on Christmas music.
Christmas music is some of the most depressing fucking music around.
Oh yeah, there's the happy songs, but most of them
are really really sad. Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
(28:40):
from Meet Me in Saint Louis if you know the story,
but behind the song, it's really sad. Dad's off at war,
they're losing their house. You know, through the years, we
all will be together if the fates allow. Until then,
we'll have to muddle through somehow. Depressing of a white Christmas.
(29:01):
I'm not going to have a white Christmas. That was
a wartime song. In fact, most of the holiday carols
that we sing are wartime songs written by Jews who
don't celebrate Christmas, and they're depressing. I was listening yesterday
to like, you know, my Christmas selections, and I'm like, God,
(29:22):
some of these songs are just so depressing. All right.
We lost our brother in law, Alan to AIDS early
in the epidemic. We were closed being mistily. Well, we're
going to talk about those people. The Carel Cast coming

Speaker 4 (31:00):
DJ play the Christmas song Oh Share, I Love Shares
Christmas Album. It's really a great album. That one's not depressing.
There's very few depressing songs on it, and it's got
the single. DJ play the Christmas song She's Fabulous, love
her National Treasure, Happy Birthday, Over the Holidays. Bette Midler
(31:22):
just turned eighty, and that was a knife in my heart.
It really is a knife in my heart. My icons.
Barbara Streisand is eighty freaking three years old. Bet Middler eighty.
I still listen to the first Barbara Streisand album, A
Jew Made a Christmas Album. I'm not the first, well,
(31:43):
I still listened to the first Barbara strayssand album, but
the first Barbara stras said Christmas album. Because she's got
two now or maybe three, but I listened to the
first one. It's got I wander as I wonder or
I wonder as I wander whatever it's got silent night,
it's got oh so many. The best gift I ever
got didn't really out weigh a lot. It's got oh God.
(32:07):
Although it's been said, have yourself a merry little Christmas,
she does the original version of White Christmas, which have
the opening the sun is shining, the grass is green,
the orange and palm trees sway. There's never been such
a day in Beverly Hills, LA. But it's December the
(32:28):
twenty fourth, and I am longing to be up north.
That's the original opening of White Christmas. So Christmas, okay.
Today is World Aid's Day.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
Now.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
There was a time where I wondered why AIDS got
its own day. I was like, no other we don't
have World Herpes Day. We don't have, you know, World
Chicken Pox Day, World Gonna Rhea Day, World Siphless Day.
In my twenties and thirties, I was wrong about a
lot of stuff, and I wrote really fabulous editorials that
were wrong. In fact, most of my first book. You
(33:07):
can't say that. I've gone back and reread the editorials,
and about half of them I was wrong. And that's
the beauty of aging. You look back and say, well,
I was passionate and I made a point, but overall
I was wrong. I didn't see the value in World
Age's Day. I didn't, but now I do. And the
(33:31):
fact that the United States has decided to not commemorate
or celebrate it takes me right back to the crisis.
So during the initial AIDS crisis, gay men were dying
and were invisible. Ay, we were hidden in our community.
(33:52):
People didn't want to see that when they went out
to a bar. They didn't want to see someone with
kapasi sarcoma. They didn't want so they tended to isolate
people with HIV AIDS. Some didn't, but many did. And
the country certainly didn't want to see us. Didn't want
to see us dying, didn't want to see us suffering,
(34:16):
and didn't want to acknowledge it. Didn't even want to
act like it was happening. And that's why World Aid's
Day came around, because so many people were ignoring it,
were ignorant about it, were mean about it. AIDS has
always been used as a source of homophobia. AIDS has
(34:39):
always been associated with the gay community, even though in
Africa and other nations it is not the gays. More
straight people have died of AIDS than gay people, and
I don't think people realize that. And I've lost countless
friends to HIV AIDS, and in some way I lost
(35:01):
Andrew to it in some way because the drug that
he was on, the proteace inhibitor cricksavan, he was on
a drug study. That drug raised his lipids and caused
the problem that killed him. So I've lost a lot
to AIDS half of my life and the fear that
(35:24):
we all had, the bargaining with God every time you
went to the health department to anonymously take an AIDS test,
because if you took it at your doctor and it
came back positive, you would lose your insurance. Yep, all
of us used to have to take anonymous AIDS test
at the health department, which took ten days. Now it's
(35:46):
instant because if we came back positive about our doctors,
our insurance would cut us off. We'd be left with
a killing disease and no health insurance.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Show time is here. No time to fear. Corrill is
so near because show time is here.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
Corrill is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
So in the United States, each and every year, okay,
the annual death toll from HIV AIDS is about twenty
thousand adults diagnosed. Uh and let's see no death I'm sorry.
Twenty thousand deaths nineteen three hundred and ten deaths among adults. Now,
(36:52):
that's not as many as at the height if you
think about it, four thousand, four hundred and ninety six
deaths amongst persons age thirteen and older with diagnosed HIV
for twenty twenty three. They're not trusting that data because
they're saying, how can we go from nineteen thousand down
(37:13):
to four thousand. In twenty twenty two, about eight thousand
people died with HIV as a contributing cause of death.
So thousands, thousands, and thousands of people die every year
in the United States of HIV AIDS. It's not gone.
Let's just take the low estimate. Let's take the low number,
(37:35):
four thousand, four hundred and ninety six. Let's say that's
how many died. All right, let's see if my watch
can do this. What is four thousand, four hundred and
ninety six divided by three hundred and sixty five. The
answer to that is twelve a day, twelve people every day,
(37:55):
or one every other hour. Every two hours in America,
someone dies of eights every two hours. This is not
a disease that's gone. There is still no cure. That's
the other myth that young people, these young gays, they
(38:16):
go on PREP, which is something I don't really agree with,
but if it's if it's keeping them from being infected, okay, great.
But they go on this prep and then they still
come up with HIV AIDS because they're having unsaved sex.
And PREP is not one hundred percent effective. And while
there have been great advances like this new shot you
(38:38):
can take and you only have to take it four
times a year, it is still not a vaccine and
there is still not a cure. And in the US alone,
one person every two hours dies of eights. So on
World Age's Day, we need to remember that we still
need to be vigilant about say sex, if you're on prep,
(38:59):
that it's great. If you're not use condoms, of course,
with me. I don't have to worry. I haven't had sex.
But when I do have sex again, if I if
I have sex again, uh, it will be save sex,
just period. I'm not gonna have unsaved sex. And there
is no cure. Protease inhibitors are rough drugs now. In
(39:22):
the early days of AIDS, the first drug to come
around was AZT, and everybody was so grateful for it
because at least there was a drug. AZT is what's
called a non nucleoside reverse transcript inhibitor. I know most
of you are like what, But when you are in
the AIDS community, you learn a lot quickly. And non
(39:43):
nukes as they became no non nucleoside reverse transcript inhibitors.
They were the first game in town for AIDS, And
for years AZT was the only drug and people died.
And AZT was horrid on the system. Oh Entry used
to get such horrible headaches, he'd have no appetite, he'd
(40:04):
throw up. AZT was not an easy drug to take.
Then another drug came around, three TC, and three TC
worked a little differently than AZT, so combined they would
keep people alive longer than the twelve to eighteen months
that you normally had from diagnosis to death. Think about
(40:27):
that on This World Age's Day. In the early day
of AIDS, it was eighteen months after you got the diet.
When Andrew got his diagnosis the doctor at god twenty
something years old. The doctor told him to basically put
his affairs in order, check off on his bucket list,
and get ready to die. He was told when he
(40:49):
was twenty three years old he had AIDS. I told
him he would make a beautiful thirty year old. He
didn't think he'd live that long. He did. He died
at thirty four, so he lived twelve years with HIV.
AIDS are more than that. Yeah, twelve thirteen years and
three TC came around, and then a drug called combevir
(41:11):
which was AZT and three TC combined. Those drugs were
very harsh on the person. The side effects were almost
as bad. And that just tried to treat the HIV virus.
Remember that AIDS doesn't kill you. On this World Age's Day,
let's talk about it. AIDS doesn't kill you, Okay, The
(41:34):
opportunistic infections that it leaves you open to are what
kill you. Kapasi sarcoma a rare skin cancer that was
only seen in Mediterranean men. Numrosistus pneumonia a form of pneumonia,
again that only happened we all, most of us have
the virus in us for pneumosistus pneumonia, but our body
(41:54):
keeps it at Bay Mai mac which affected the eyes,
which they could get it from a cytomegalavirus which you
could get from cat litter or in your garden. That
would kill you first, it would put you blind. So
there were many things that killed people with AIDS. AIDS
has never killed one person ever. Ever, Nobody dies of AIDS.
(42:19):
You die of the opportunistic infections. Your immune system just
gets so zapped, or the drugs murder your system and
you end up dying because of the drugs, liver failure,
kidney failure, heart failure. AIDS itself doesn't kill anybody. And
remember what it stands for, acquired immune deficiency syndrome syndrome. Okay,
(42:47):
So AIDS is an umbrella and all of these different
diseases fall under that umbrella, and they're the diseases that
people with the compromised immune system that AIDS gives get.
So people went along with AZT three TC Combevie other drugs,
(43:08):
and they worked, but not that great. But life expectancy
went from eighteen months to two three four years even
with these drugs, maybe even five years. I mean at
a time where people were dropping dead, we'd take another
year or two of their life. Then Stanford started a
(43:28):
drug study along with some other universities for what would
become known as protease inhibitors, and they attack the virus
differently than the non nukes. And what these do is
they inhibit. James Schnabel in the chat room could tell
you better. They inhibit a part of the virus, the protease,
(43:52):
which is I believe a protein. They inhibit it, and
thus the virus can be seen by the immune system
and attacked because AIDS, remember, infects the immune system, and
the protease inhibitors keep it out of the immune system.
They make it so it can't enter. It strips the
(44:14):
protease off of the virus, so the virus can't insert
itself into your T cells. Because that's what AIDS does.
It inserts itself into your immune cells, into your CD
four cells, your T four cells. It inserts itself into
those cells, and then your very immune system becomes your enemy. Well,
(44:38):
protease inhibitors found a way to prevent that, and so
viral loads went from hundreds of thousands in your blood
to non detectable. Doctor David ho Magic Johnson's doctor was
the doctor that helped invent protease inhibitors. I've met him,
talk to him, interviewed him. So suddenly AIDS became a
(45:02):
more manageable condition, a chronic condition, still deadly like diabetes,
but chronic like diabetes. And that's good, but it also
got people complacent. It also got people thinking, oh, well,
if I get AIDS, it's no big deal. It is
(45:24):
a big deal. You don't want HIV, you just don't
want it. And on this world Aide's Day, I think
it's important for you to understand the genesis of how
it went from people dropping dead in twelve months from
diagnosis to living multiple years to where now gay men
are with HIV AIDS actually have to worry about diseases
(45:46):
of getting old heart disease, kidney failure, lung disease, all
of that because AIDS itself and the syndrome capalcees and
pneumocistis and the various other diseases aren't taking a hold,
so they're living long enough to have heart attacks, and
they're living larder, you know, to get cancer, regular cancers,
you know. So that complacency has made young people forget
(46:15):
that every two hours in the United States someone passes
away because of complications of HIV. And when you have
a White House now that is not participating in today's
events raising awareness funding. They cut funding for drugs, life
saving drugs. They're now talking about funding obesity drugs, but
(46:40):
not HIV drugs. That's how cruel Donald Trump has become
and the nation under him. Now, so many of you
lost very close friends to HIV AIDS. A lot of
you live in the San Francisco area, a town that
was ravaged. There were so many garage fails. I remember
(47:03):
one time Andrew and I went to San Francisco and
there were garage fills all over the castro, like everywhere.
And we asked a guy we were with, We're like,
why are there so many garage sales? He said, oh,
from dead people, you know, people that have died. And
Andrew looked at me and said, never sell my stuff
at a garage sale. And I never did. I never did.
(47:27):
But it was so moving. And then in San Francisco,
a lot of the queens got buzz cuts, and everyone wondered, why, why,
why are all the queens you know bald or shaved heads?
And they did it in solidarity for those with HIV
AIDS who were on medications that made their hair fall out.
So San Francisco was ravaged, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Austin,
(47:52):
Miami just ravaged. I've lost so many close personal friends
Lorenzo Clark, Brack's and Gary, Alexander, John Delacy, Tracy Montclair,
on and on down the line. I could go. I've
lost so many very close personal friends to HIV AIDS
that I can't even count anymore. Imagine going to a
(48:15):
party to say goodbye to your friend because you knew
after the party they were going to kill themselves. I've
done that. Imagine bringing something to the party so that
you could help them kill themselves. I've done that. Where
we each set something down and it can't kill them,
but when combined with something, it can. We've come a
(48:36):
long way, but not far enough until there is a cure.
We have not come far enough, because too many people
still die. You know, too many people still die from
HIV AIDS. So on this World Age's Day, just remember
(48:57):
it's not cured. Protease inhibitors are great and they have
saved countless lives, but they are not the be all
and all treatment that They're like insulin. You know, insulin
works for some people, doesn't work for others. After a
while stops working. These are great drugs, but the drugs
(49:18):
are rough. Protease inhibitors have huge side effects, liver failure,
kidney damage. So just remember on this World Aide's Day
that we still have a distance to go. We're not
across the finish line yet. And one person dying every
two hours in America of HIV AIDS. That's too many,
(49:41):
and worldwide, I'm sure it's higher. There's still under developed
nations and African nations and other places where there's still stigma,
where the drugs aren't available, where they don't have prep therapy.
Because Donald Trump cut it off. We were providing prep
therapy to high risk nations to stop the spread of
(50:01):
HIV AIDS and guess what, we've now cut that off
and he won't even acknowledge HIV AIDS today. What a
horrible man, What a horrible administration. What a horrible country
once again. You know, I've been watching a lot of
stories recently about you know, gays and on this world
(50:24):
Age's day. I was also reminded of a soldier, a
Navy soldier who died. His name was Alan Schindler, Junior,
and he was beaten to death by another Navy by
two other Navy officers or not officers, but you know, soldiers,
and then the Navy covered it up. And it was
(50:46):
in the nineties before, right before. It's because of him
that don't ask, don't tell. Pretty much happened. But I
was reminded about how horrible this country has historically treated
me and people like me, and not in the really
distant past, just in the recent past. And now I
see us going back there again. I see Donald Trump
(51:09):
trying to turn the clock back to the eighties and
nineties when it comes to LGBTQ people. And that includes
a shame on him for not recognizing today and shame
on the world for forgetting that age still killed too
many vibrant, wonderful people, and we need a cure.
Speaker 5 (51:44):
Now.
Speaker 7 (51:45):
Is show side.
Speaker 4 (52:00):
Sandy in the chatroom at YouTube dot com Forward slash
early corell It amazes me how unconcerned young people are
nowadays in regards to AIDS. When I was a young
adult in the late eighties, it was a scary time.
It still is a scary time. They're just too stupid
to know it. I mean no offense to young gays,
but they're idiots. They're absolute idiots when it comes to AIDS.
They think prep works. They're out there swapping body fluids.
(52:23):
It's it's scary. It's a scary time now, and there's EMPOCHS, COVID,
there's other diseases that have come along. Sex is dirty,
let's you know, let's just be real. In today's world,
you should not be swapping body fluids with anybody unless
you've both been together for a while and tested. And
(52:43):
even then, you know, Andrew and I had save sex
all the time because he had HIV, But if he didn't,
we would have still had save sex. Why I don't
trust my health to a man's fidelity, and that bothers
some people that I have dated. But the fact is
men cheat. Women do too, but gay men, I think
(53:04):
cheat more than women. And I'm not going to be
one of these people that I've had people on my show,
mostly women, that only slept with one man their entire
life and have AIDS because he went out and cheated,
And so it is not gone, and it still is scary.
AIDS is still frightening to me. And the fact that
(53:27):
young gays are not frightened by it just means they're
ignorant to what really happened, how it happened, and the
fact that it's still happening. And that is the gay
community's fault. We wanted to get past AIDS because of
the stigma and because of the violence. We were hurt
and harmed and killed because of AIDS. People saw us
(53:48):
as spreaders of AIDS, so they would kill us. And
so the gay community tried to move past it, but
were not past it. There is still no cure. All right, Well,
we've got Pete the war criminal. Will he be tried,
Will Trump commute the sentence? Probably? Will he be tried,
(54:09):
Probably not, We'll see. We got Netanyahu asking for a pardon,
that war criminal and killer, All these murderers and killers
asking for pardons and you know, not being prosecuted. Pete's
a killer. Our secretary of Defense is a murderer. He
ordered a second hit on a boat that killed people
that may have been innocent. That's a murderer and a
(54:32):
war criminal. Do with that what you like, but he's
a murderer. We have a president insulting the media. We
have a president not acknowledging World Ade's Day. We have
a president picking a fight with Venezuela of all places.
There's got to be something there. He wants oil, rare, earth, minerals, whatever.
It's not about drugs. He's lying when he says it's
(54:54):
about drugs because he's pardoning a drug lord, a cocaine lord,
so it can't be about drugs. It's certainly not about
putting America first or making America great. So I don't
know what his beef with Venezuela is, but whatever it is,
we're going to pay the price. Just like you know,
(55:15):
he cut state programs for HIV AIDS at the VA
and other places. But he just in the last year
has spent seventy two million dollars on golfing.
Speaker 7 (55:25):
You and I.
Speaker 4 (55:27):
You and I have spent seventy two million dollars to
make sure the president can golf on weekends. And all
that money that he's billing goes into his pocket every
time he goes tomorrow Lago. He makes the Secret Service
rent these rooms at huge prices. Every time he goes golfing.
(55:47):
He's billing the government seventy two million dollars we've paid
for him to not stay in Washington, DC, as people
right now did not get their full snap benefits in
in November. People are starving and hurting in this country,
and he has spent seventy million of our dollars to
(56:09):
go back and forth to Marlago. Isn't that something? Isn't
that something? Sam Giamo Sam from KKGN, Do I know KKGN?
Was I on KKGN? Is that Cousbay? Is that the
one in Cousbay?
Speaker 5 (56:30):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (56:30):
Granny lived to be fifty. Here's now seventy four. His
wife has died of ades. He's doing amazingly well. Much
to be thankful for. And Trump wants to cut funding
for medical research. Yep, Trump hates science. He hates medical research.
It's just we live in the upside down. You know,
(56:50):
I just watched the first four episodes of the last
season of Stranger Things, and they really should have dealt
with the age. They really should have you know, they're
like twenty five and still in high school. Like Yah,
know Millie, Bobby Brown has a daughter. It's like, come on,
but it's still incredible television, very Spielbergie, and it's wonderful.
It's wonderful. I'd like to say it's not, but it is.
(57:11):
It's great. And I watched the first four episodes, the
next three come on Christmas, and then the final one
New Year's Eve, and it's very nostalgic. It's set in
the eighties. But then I look at it and think, oh, yeah,
AIDS was about to happen, because it's set in eighty three.
AIDS came around about eighty seven, eighty eight, eighty five,
eighty six, somewhere around there. Like musical chairs, the music stopped.
(57:35):
We all had to sit down, or those that wanted
to live. And so we live in a world where
war criminals collect government salaries, where Donald Trump pleads poverty
for all kinds of things, but then is spending seventy
million of our dollars to go to and from his
mar lago to go golfing. But last month they couldn't
(57:59):
pay all the snap benefits. They never did say why,
but a lot of them were. I bet you all
think they were all funded one hundred percent in full
once the government reopened. Nope, millions of people only got
half their benefit. Some didn't get any and they didn't
even after the government reopened. They didn't get their snap
(58:20):
and there are some people that haven't gotten it for December.
People are starving over the holidays. What does Donald Trump
do take off to mar A Lago on our dime,
not recognize World Aide's Day, And all that says to
me is that queers don't matter. We're back to that again. Gays, lesbians, transpi,
we don't matter. We don't matter to the government. We
(58:42):
don't matter to the GOP, we don't matter to MAGA.
We don't matter. It's okay to pick on us, legislate
against us, and let us die. We're right back there again.
One of the reasons I don't want to stay here.
I've really looked ahead to the next year and I
thought to myself, do I really want to stay here
even if the Democrats take the mid terms. I don't know.
(59:05):
If I can increase my income and go to a
city that's metropolitan and like London, Paris, Lisbon, whatever, then
you know, Dublin, I could be convinced. All right, I'll
see you back tomorrow. I love you all. Thank you
very much for joining me today. I am Corell. You'd
be who you want to be from them hurt you, Budy,

Speaker 4 (01:00):
It is the crow Cast. I am Corel. Happy Monday, December,
first World AIDS Day. In spite of the United States
not wanting to participate, you know, thus the term world.
The rest of the world is participating. And so much
going on. You know, it's the holiday season. It's officially
in full swing. It is December, the last month of
(01:22):
the year. There's only thirty one days until the new year.
And you know a lot is going on and we're
going to talk about it today and this week and
next with you right here in the Corell Cast. Don't
forget to like and subscribe and all of that good stuff.
And of course without you patrons at Patreon dot com,
forward slash. Really, Carrell, I just wouldn't exist. I wouldn't
(01:44):
even be here. So did you have a good holiday weekend?
Did you have good Thanksgiving? I haven't talked to you
since Thanksgiving. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I
had a great one. Steve and I went to Crossroads Kitchen, wonderful,
wonderful place here in Las Vegas where they play seventies
white People rock, and they had a great buffet and
a Lion's made mushroom that made me want to slap somebody.
(02:06):
It was so good. I don't know how they make
that lion made mushroom taste the way that they do,
but dear God, it was like the best dark meat
turkey you just ever had, and it was so good.
It was just so good. Steve had a good time,
I had a good time. A good time was had
by all. So I hope that you had a good
time on your Thanksgiving as well. I felt compelled, like
(02:28):
the power of Santa compels me. I felt compelled over
the holiday weekend to put up my Christmas stuff. So yesterday,
for some reason, I found myself putting on Christmas carols
putting up a tree. Two trees. I actually have a
little one. I won this big and then I have
a regular tree. Oh, and then I have a tree
out front. Three trees of various shapes and sizes, A
(02:50):
wreath on the door that's decorated, and lights on the balcony. Oh,
four trees because my pencil cactus. I decorated that too.
Listening to Christmas carols sing along and it was funny
because I said, you know, you're not expecting company, like
you might be the only one to see your Christmas decoration,
so why bother? And I said, because you freaking deserve it.
(03:14):
Because even if you are the only one to see
all of your Christmas stuff, you love your Christmas stuff.
I have ornaments from my mother. I have ornaments to
Jake and Heather made. Every ornament means something. I don't
have just ornaments. Every ornament means something. Uh, And so
I put it up hopefully someone else will see it.
And you know, listen to the music, and you know,
(03:36):
Mariah Carey's here in town doing her Christmas show. And
Christmas Black Friday happened. Today is Cyber Monday. I bought
some shoes over the weekend that were fifty percent off.
It's time to replace. I have six pairs of walking
tennis shoes, hiking and walking, three pairs of hiking walking,
and three pairs of running, and it's time to replace
(03:57):
them because I put on a bridge about two thousand
miles a year on my shoes and broken up. That's
about four hundred miles per pare you know, so I
wear a lot of you know, I wear out shoes.
There were good sales on Hoka and Morels, so I
went and got some. But you know, I have to
(04:19):
tell you, with the holidays come the help, come the
holiday melancholy, you know, the I don't know, maybe you
guys don't get it, but I do. And the introspection
and all of that. I, you know, looked looking forward
to the new year. Like you, I want changes, I
(04:40):
want a better life. I want more income. I want
more freedom, which the income will bring. That all means
a bigger show or more shows, or different kind of shows,
or revenue streams. And I'm excited to do those, but
also scared as AI takes over more and more of
the music industry, the attainment industry, almost any industry. So
(05:04):
like you, I look ahead and I have some trepidation.
I have some melancholy about how to get what I
want from the future in the ever changing world. And
I don't think I'm alone in that. I think all
of us, if we're in above fifty, are looking at
the world ahead and going you know, it's not a
friendly place for us and the things that we do.
(05:28):
The you and I are skills. Our skill set, whether
it's entertaining, singing, dancing, comic, you know, podcaster, or you know,
an accountant or a lawyer or a doctor, whatever your
skill set is, AI is snapping at your heels. And
that really scares me because I'm not adapting. Well, I'm
(05:50):
not one of these young people who are making a
million dollars a month.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
And so I had some melancholic This is a.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Correll is so near because show time is here.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Correll is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
So yeah, So just my message to you is melancholy
over the holidays is normal if you get it. Don't
think you're abnormal. You're not. Depression over the holiday is normal.
More of our relatives die over the holidays than any
other time. More people die in the month of December
over the holidays if they're a nursing care or elder
(06:50):
care many of you. I lost my mom and dad
December twenty sixth and December twenty eighth, or maybe it
was the twenty seventh and twenty ninth. I'd have to look,
but it was the week between Christmas and New Year
that I lost both my parents twelve eighteen years apart,
something like that sixteen years apart. So certainly, depression over
(07:10):
the holidays is normal. Just don't get stuck in it.
Don't get stuck in that rut. And wanting to change
is normal over the holiday season. Getting ready for the
new year, planning your life is just normal over the
holiday season. So with me, as we'll be doing the introspection. Look,
(07:30):
I have a lot more to give, I have a
lot more to offer, and I want to find ways
to do that that are lucrative, obviously, and you know
I'm not done being me. My neck may be sagging,
and my teeth may be separating, and all the things
they pick me apart for on TikTok may in fact
(07:52):
be happening, because that's what they do all of my
videos on TikTok. They attack my speech, they attack my looks.
They never once attack the issue unless it's to say Biden.
These maga people, all they can do is personal attacks
or Biden Biden, Biden Biden. That's it. There are two
note ponies, personal attacks or Biden Biden Biden. And that's
(08:14):
because that's what their leader does. And they're just parents,
you know, They're just parents of what their leader does.
Their leader says Biden by and Biden. And personal attack,
personal attack, personal attack. Whether it's a member of the media,
whether it's an opponent, a rival, someone that is not
on board with them, it doesn't matter. Trump attacks people personally.
He's a despicable, horrible, evil person. He is the lowest
(08:37):
scum of the earth. And I'm just tired of hiding that.
I'm tired of not saying how I truly feel about him.
He is scum. And now we have Pete Hegberger, Hegsworth
or whatever his name is, war criminal. Now look George W.
Bush is a war criminal, unindicted war criminal. Many of
the things George W. Bush did were works. Benjamin Netanyahoo
(09:03):
is a war criminal asking to be pardoned. They have
already indicted Netan Yahoo in the World Court on War Crimes.
He is a war criminal. And now we have one here,
but we have we have several George W. Bush war criminal,
George Herbert Walker Bush who is now dead, unindicted war criminal.
(09:24):
There may have been some instances were Barack Obama and
Yes Biden and others. You know, I was very uneasy
with Barack Obama doing drone strikes that were basically unauthorized
and against targets that weren't necessarily the most military of targets.
You know, family weddings and things like that to take out,
(09:48):
you know, somebody, so they take out a whole wedding.
I think many presidents have committed war crimes, but in
this case, now they're going after Pete for being a murderer.
He's a murderer. They did a strike on a Venezuelan
quote drug boat. Why the president is about to pardon
a major drug trafficker, So why are we even fighting
(10:12):
a war on drugs? When the commander in chief cease
fit to pardon a drug trafficker. But they attack this boat, right,
and they do their bombs. The boat is disabled, and
then they go back because there were survivors, and shoot
the boat again. Now, our policy is if people survive
(10:34):
and attack, we take them prisoner, we capture them, whatever
it might be. We don't go back and annihilate them.
And we did at the behest of Pete who was
working at the behest of Trump. It is a war crime.
That's a war crime. Now, the notion of war crimes really,
(10:56):
you know, war is a crime. Okay, So to put
those two words together, only humans would do that. War
is a crime. It is a crime against all humanity
to fight a war. And you're like, well, sometimes you
have to. Yeah, I'm not saying that they're unjust. I'm
(11:17):
simply saying that war is a crime. It is a
terrible blight against humanity. Both sides suffer in a war.
Nobody wins, and they're never ending for the most part.
And so the notion that you can commit a crime
when your job is to kill is amusing. Only humans
(11:44):
would put rules on war, okay, only humans would do
that because that's stupid. You tell a soldier to go
and kill, but only kill threats. Don't kill civilians. If
they're the enemy, why not you know, if Iranians or
(12:04):
Iraqis or Afghanis or Russians or whomever, if they're the enemy,
then why not kill them all? No? No, no, just
the soldiers, Okay, okay. So war is a crime. So
the notion that we put those two words together, it's
like jumbo shrimp, you know, compassionate conservative, you know, they
(12:27):
just two words that don't belong together. But there we
have it. And so now Pete is probably going to
But why unless he's tried at the Hague, unless he's
tried at a court outside of our jurisdiction, unless he
is sentenced by someone outside of our jurisdiction, Donald Trump
(12:51):
will just pardon him. Donald Trump's not gonna let his
secretary of Defense or secretary of war go down for this.
He'll pardon him. So this is all I know that
we need to bring these people to account because and
we do. But the problem is until you bring the
head of the snake into account, Donald Trump for his crimes,
(13:15):
then whatever happens below him doesn't matter, because they're gonna
get pardoned, so you can go through the machinations of
trying to convict Pete of war crimes. I think just
the way he looks as a crime. The way he
talks is a crime. The way he hides his gainess
is a crime. Oh did I say it? I did?
(13:38):
I did. The biggest homophobes in the world are men
that want to have a gay experience that's been proven scientifically. Okay,
so all you haters out there of mine on TikTok
and Instagram and such, all of you that post all
the homophobic stuff, we all know you really want to
sleep with me, so you know it's scientific fact. So Pete,
(14:02):
I truly believe, when under the inbibing of alcohol, would
probably swing both ways. But that you know, that's who cares.
I don't care. What I do care about is he
is a war criminal. He should not be in charge
of the Department of Defense. Maybe, just maybe this will
(14:22):
get him removed. But who's gonna put in his place? Today?
One of his lawyers was deemed an illegal appointment. The
lawyer that who is it, what's her name? She has
a name, and it's her appointment has been deemed illegal,
which is why a case has been thrown out against
(14:45):
Komy and such. What is her name? I'll let me
find it. Alena Haba, Trump's former lawyer is unlawful US
attorney Appeals Court says, unlawfully serving as the US attorney
for New Jersey. Oh, you know, but again, these people
don't care about the law. That's why. Yeah, sure, pizza
(15:08):
war criminal. Absolutely, he murdered people. He's a murderer. Why
don't we just call that what it is. He's not
a war criminal. He's a murderer. He ordered the murder.
The boat had already been attacked, it was disabled. He
ordered the remaining people on board murdered. He is a murderer.
(15:29):
Let's just call it as we see it on this
December first, honey. And what will happen to him? Well,
whatever does, he'll be pardoned. He will be pardoned. Thank you.
In the chatroom at YouTube dot com forward slash, really Carrell,
they were giving me the name Haba. Thank you so much,
Sandy says, I've always gotten depressed during the holidays. It's
worse after Christmas because there's been such a build up
(15:50):
and then it's just over. Yes, there are these all
videos going around online now it says you don't know
what it feels like to go from this to that.
So one restaurant that influencer you know told the world
about and then was crowded with lines out, the door
is suddenly empty, and a performer posted him on stage
(16:11):
and then afterwards him backed him in his room by
himself in the hotel, just watching TV. I know that feeling. Okay,
there's nothing. It is so frigging depressing after a show.
Why do you think we entertainers surround ourselves with people
after a show, because to go from that to down here,
(16:35):
it's depressing. And the holidays are the same way, you know,
And I'd like to talk about Pete, but I think
the holidays are a more important topic because we are
told to be happy. Okay, it is drilled into our head.
You will be happy, God damn it. You better fucking
be happy, you know, jolly Christmas, Happy Christmas, blah blah
(16:55):
blah blah blah. So we are told to be happy,
but there's guilt that comes with the holiday. Look, all
of my friends are asking me what I want for Christmas,
And the truth is, I now know why old people
get socks and underwear and such A because we need them,
but B because the things we really want most people
(17:16):
can't buy us. I want two things for Christmas, two
and no one in the world is going to get
them for me. Nobody maybe myself. I want a new
vitam mix blender. My blender broke, and you know I'm
a cook. I use a blender, my bread My blender broke.
And I want the VitaminX a cent x five on sale.
(17:38):
It's five ninety nine on sale and that's today. The
sale ends today. The other thing I truly want is
a new motorcycle helmet, and I need one, and they're
between six hundred and eight hundred dollars for a good
motors I want a shoe birth or a showy because
they're the best and my head deserves it. Uh So,
(17:59):
no one gonna buy me a six hund Well Daniel
Charleston would have, but he's dead. But no one other
than him would buy me a six hundred dollars blender
for Christmas because no one can afford it. I mean,
I really want the vitamins A cent x five, I
really do. I also want a food processor. I want
the Brevil that cubes does cubing because my food processor broke,
(18:20):
so the lid broke, and you can't buy the lid.
So anyway, so no one's gonna get me that. So
short of that, I'm just telling everyone and just give
me what you want. I tell my niece and nephew,
get me maple syrup. They're luck. Really, I go, I
use a ton of maple syrup. It's expensive. Get me cashews.
I love cashews. I use a ton of cashoes. I
just made the best non dairy creamer out of cashews.
(18:43):
One cup of soaked cashews, one cup of oat milk homemade,
and a cup and a half of water, some vanilla
and six dates, all whizzed up delicious creamer because I
don't want any oil in my creamer because of my truglist.
Not my trucklift rides my LDO so anyway, so you know,
(19:05):
but we're told, and I want to get bigger gifts
from my family, but I can't afford it. You know.
I got Jake and Airy a seventy five dollars gift
card each for their bookstore in town. A lot of
people want gift store from bookstores, which is great, So
Jake and Airy I got them, so it's one hundred
and fifty. And then Emily, Oh my god, my niece's wife, Emily.
She I asked her what she wanted for Christmas. She said,
(19:27):
bad reies for power tools. I burst out laughing, and
she says, what's so funny. I go, the lesbian's asking
me for bad reies for power tools. It still tickles me.
She's getting badies. And then my then Heather wanted a
pizza stone and baking trays. So I spent about four
(19:50):
hundred dollars on the four of them, and that's about
all I got to spend. So I'm just gonna get
little gifts for Steve and Hannah and some people at
the park. And then my card. So I gotta get
cards and mail them out. That's fifty bucks sixty bucks.
So money is tight, and we all want to do
more than we can. We're told to be happy, we're
(20:11):
told to rejoice and saying to be grateful for the
things we have, but we all see the things slipping away.
You know, mortgages they're trying to do fifty year mortgages.
Now car loans they're trying to extend because no one
can afford anything groceries. Black Friday should have been at
the grocery store, cause I went shopping at Robertsons two
(20:31):
days ago and spent one hundred and seventy dollars, and
I'm like, what did I get? You know? So the
holidays are rough. I you know, I'm not one of
these people that think, oh, they're all just no. I
think the holidays are the roughest time of the year emotionally,
I really do, because we have so much conflicting stuff happening.
(20:52):
We're told to be happy, but there's stuff that makes
us unhappy. We're told to be grateful, but then we
have fear with Trump in office and the economy the
way that it is, and you know all of that.
So the holidays are the most schizophrenic time of year.
Be happy to be happy, all right? When we come
back partying criminals, Yahoo is out for one, tet'll get one.
(21:18):
We're partying a cocaine. It's darmout. You know. I'm gonna
lie about smash.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Now is show?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
All right? I gotta take a moment and talk to
you all seriously about my music. I love making music,
and it's getting harder and harder and harder. I have
no money for promotion of the new single. It cost
hundreds to try to get it on playlist and everything,
and I just don't have that and the label doesn't either,
So we're just gonna hope for the best, which doesn't
really work. But you know, what can I do? At
least it's gonna be out in the world. But one
(22:21):
of the things that you can do is go to
Spotify or go to Apple Music. Type in correl k
A R E l I Dance because okay, have I
even done this? Have I? I don't think I've done
this for myself. Let me launch go to Apple Music
(22:43):
or as I said, Spotify or Amazon Music. However, you
get your music, all right, and let's see what comes up.
Let's type in corel I Dance because click that. It
does not pop up yet? Does it not? Yet? It
should it's already it should be available for pre order.

So what's going on here? Why do I not see it? Hmm?
That's very odd? See that again. I'm telling you to
go pre order Corel I Dance because uh, and it's
not coming up, so I, you know, cubas it comes
up on Let's see what else? Uh? Really, corel YouTube?
(23:30):
No it's not coming up on the pre orders. Wow,
I wonder why I'll have to ask the label about that.
Swishcraft Records. I see it under you know, I see it.
So let me click on Apple, click on my Yeah. No,
(23:51):
it's it's not coming up for pre order. That's a problem. See,
because here I was gonna tell you, please go preorder,
Please go preorder. We gotta get pre orders. We got
to get preorders, and you can't. You can't pre order.
So that's a problem. So I will figure that out,
(24:11):
figure out why we can't pre order. But when it
comes out December sixth, I will need you to go
and download it, stream it. You know. I want a
lot for the song. I'm hoping good things will come
from the song, and it really, you know, means a
lot to me to have this song coming out. It's
(24:34):
a song that's very dear to my heart. It's about
you know, and we're going to talk about World AIDS
Day today. It's about the people who have gone on before,
who have died of HIV AIDS and how I still
dance because of them. So when it comes out December
(24:55):
six please go stream and go like go bookmark Correll.
I Dance because. And I'm about to send a note
to Matt Consola, who is my record label. As small
as he is, he tries his best, but I can't
pre order I Dance because? What's up? Okay? So yes, please,
(25:21):
I need your help with my music. If you haven't

com or go to my YouTube which is YouTube dot
reallycorrel dot com, YouTube dot reallycorrel dot com. My name
is spelled Karl, So please participate in my music. I
(25:41):
need more of it to happen. That's still something AI
can't do. Go to her live so if we get
enough people listening to my music, I'll be able to
get booked. And also the song I Dance Because plays
into the topic today of World Ade's Day, because today
is World Aide's Day. I remember when World Aid's Day started.
And in the next in the part two of the show,
(26:02):
we are going to talk about that. So my question
to you down below today question of the day. What
do you think's gonna happen to Pentagon Pete? Will he
be convicted of a war crime? And if he is
will he ever serve any kind of meaningful sentence or
will Donald Trump just pardon him? You know, just will
he just pardon him? Because it appears to me that's
(26:27):
what's gonna happen that Yeah, he'll probably be tried. Uh
but oh and by the way, the shooter that killed
the National Guard, this guy was a red flag. Trump
granted him asylum, not Biden, but this guy was just
a red flag. Social workers were like, he hasn't left
(26:47):
his room in a week. He's become detached. Every single
sign that someone's gonna become a mass killer. And guess what,
he became a maskilar and terrible in Where was it?
The Northern California? A terrible mass shooting over the holiday?
Kids people shot at a birthday party. You know, they're
(27:11):
at a birthday party next to like a bowling alley
or something. And four people killed and twelve injured. Just
another day in America, right, Happy holidays? Mass shooting. Okay,
I watched a rom com. I watched this rom com
last night on Netflix. It's called The Christmas Heist or something.
It's very cute. It's from London. Very cute rom com
(27:34):
rom com formula. You know, no real big drama. No
one dies, It's very very cute. Just well, I decorated
and stuff and it was it was very very fun.
But yeah, all right, when we come back, we're gonna
talk about World AIDS Day, and you know that topic
is very dear to me since I lost most of
my friends to HIV AIDS. So we will talk about
(27:55):
what it means to have HIV AIDS, both back then
and in the world today. So we're gonna talk about that.
I'm also gonna be reading more of your comments in
my live chat room, which is live from ten to
eleven every day, and that's at a YouTube dot com
forward slash really Carrell. But if that's too much for
you to remember, just go YouTube dot reallycorrel dot com
(28:17):
and it takes you right to my YouTube channel. Let's see. Yeah,
Christmas music. You know, I'm always torn on Christmas music.
Christmas music is some of the most depressing fucking music around.
Oh yeah, there's the happy songs, but most of them
are really really sad. Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
(28:40):
from Meet Me in Saint Louis if you know the story,
but behind the song, it's really sad. Dad's off at war,
they're losing their house. You know, through the years, we
all will be together if the fates allow. Until then,
we'll have to muddle through somehow. Depressing of a white Christmas.
(29:01):
I'm not going to have a white Christmas. That was
a wartime song. In fact, most of the holiday carols
that we sing are wartime songs written by Jews who
don't celebrate Christmas, and they're depressing. I was listening yesterday
to like, you know, my Christmas selections, and I'm like, God,
(29:22):
some of these songs are just so depressing. All right.
We lost our brother in law, Alan to AIDS early
in the epidemic. We were closed being mistily. Well, we're
going to talk about those people. The Carel Cast coming

two now or maybe three, but I listened to the
first one. It's got I wander as I wonder or
I wonder as I wander whatever it's got silent night,
it's got oh so many. The best gift I ever
got didn't really out weigh a lot. It's got oh God.
(32:07):
Although it's been said, have yourself a merry little Christmas,
she does the original version of White Christmas, which have
the opening the sun is shining, the grass is green,
the orange and palm trees sway. There's never been such
a day in Beverly Hills, LA. But it's December the
(32:28):
twenty fourth, and I am longing to be up north.
That's the original opening of White Christmas. So Christmas, okay.
Today is World Aid's Day.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
Now.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
There was a time where I wondered why AIDS got
its own day. I was like, no other we don't
have World Herpes Day. We don't have, you know, World
Chicken Pox Day, World Gonna Rhea Day, World Siphless Day.
In my twenties and thirties, I was wrong about a
lot of stuff, and I wrote really fabulous editorials that
were wrong. In fact, most of my first book. You
(33:07):
can't say that. I've gone back and reread the editorials,
and about half of them I was wrong. And that's
the beauty of aging. You look back and say, well,
I was passionate and I made a point, but overall
I was wrong. I didn't see the value in World
Age's Day. I didn't, but now I do. And the
(33:31):
fact that the United States has decided to not commemorate
or celebrate it takes me right back to the crisis.
So during the initial AIDS crisis, gay men were dying
and were invisible. Ay, we were hidden in our community.
(33:52):
People didn't want to see that when they went out
to a bar. They didn't want to see someone with
kapasi sarcoma. They didn't want so they tended to isolate
people with HIV AIDS. Some didn't, but many did. And
the country certainly didn't want to see us. Didn't want
to see us dying, didn't want to see us suffering,
(34:16):
and didn't want to acknowledge it. Didn't even want to
act like it was happening. And that's why World Aid's
Day came around, because so many people were ignoring it,
were ignorant about it, were mean about it. AIDS has
always been used as a source of homophobia. AIDS has
(34:39):
always been associated with the gay community, even though in
Africa and other nations it is not the gays. More
straight people have died of AIDS than gay people, and
I don't think people realize that. And I've lost countless
friends to HIV AIDS, and in some way I lost
(35:01):
Andrew to it in some way because the drug that
he was on, the proteace inhibitor cricksavan, he was on
a drug study. That drug raised his lipids and caused
the problem that killed him. So I've lost a lot
to AIDS half of my life and the fear that
(35:24):
we all had, the bargaining with God every time you
went to the health department to anonymously take an AIDS test,
because if you took it at your doctor and it
came back positive, you would lose your insurance. Yep, all
of us used to have to take anonymous AIDS test
at the health department, which took ten days. Now it's
(35:46):
instant because if we came back positive about our doctors,
our insurance would cut us off. We'd be left with
a killing disease and no health insurance.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Show time is here. No time to fear. Corrill is
so near because show time is here.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
Corrill is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
So in the United States, each and every year, okay,
the annual death toll from HIV AIDS is about twenty
thousand adults diagnosed. Uh and let's see no death I'm sorry.
Twenty thousand deaths nineteen three hundred and ten deaths among adults. Now,
(36:52):
that's not as many as at the height if you
think about it, four thousand, four hundred and ninety six
deaths amongst persons age thirteen and older with diagnosed HIV
for twenty twenty three. They're not trusting that data because
they're saying, how can we go from nineteen thousand down
(37:13):
to four thousand. In twenty twenty two, about eight thousand
people died with HIV as a contributing cause of death.
So thousands, thousands, and thousands of people die every year
in the United States of HIV AIDS. It's not gone.
Let's just take the low estimate. Let's take the low number,
(37:35):
four thousand, four hundred and ninety six. Let's say that's
how many died. All right, let's see if my watch
can do this. What is four thousand, four hundred and
ninety six divided by three hundred and sixty five. The
answer to that is twelve a day, twelve people every day,
(37:55):
or one every other hour. Every two hours in America,
someone dies of eights every two hours. This is not
a disease that's gone. There is still no cure. That's
the other myth that young people, these young gays, they
(38:16):
go on PREP, which is something I don't really agree with,
but if it's if it's keeping them from being infected, okay, great.
But they go on this prep and then they still
come up with HIV AIDS because they're having unsaved sex.
And PREP is not one hundred percent effective. And while
there have been great advances like this new shot you
(38:38):
can take and you only have to take it four
times a year, it is still not a vaccine and
there is still not a cure. And in the US alone,
one person every two hours dies of eights. So on
World Age's Day, we need to remember that we still
need to be vigilant about say sex, if you're on prep,
(38:59):
that it's great. If you're not use condoms, of course,
with me. I don't have to worry. I haven't had sex.
But when I do have sex again, if I if
I have sex again, uh, it will be save sex,
just period. I'm not gonna have unsaved sex. And there
is no cure. Protease inhibitors are rough drugs now. In
(39:22):
the early days of AIDS, the first drug to come
around was AZT, and everybody was so grateful for it
because at least there was a drug. AZT is what's
called a non nucleoside reverse transcript inhibitor. I know most
of you are like what, But when you are in
the AIDS community, you learn a lot quickly. And non
(39:43):
nukes as they became no non nucleoside reverse transcript inhibitors.
They were the first game in town for AIDS, And
for years AZT was the only drug and people died.
And AZT was horrid on the system. Oh Entry used
to get such horrible headaches, he'd have no appetite, he'd
(40:04):
throw up. AZT was not an easy drug to take.
Then another drug came around, three TC, and three TC
worked a little differently than AZT, so combined they would
keep people alive longer than the twelve to eighteen months
that you normally had from diagnosis to death. Think about
(40:27):
that on This World Age's Day. In the early day
of AIDS, it was eighteen months after you got the diet.
When Andrew got his diagnosis the doctor at god twenty
something years old. The doctor told him to basically put
his affairs in order, check off on his bucket list,
and get ready to die. He was told when he
(40:49):
was twenty three years old he had AIDS. I told
him he would make a beautiful thirty year old. He
didn't think he'd live that long. He did. He died
at thirty four, so he lived twelve years with HIV.
AIDS are more than that. Yeah, twelve thirteen years and
three TC came around, and then a drug called combevir
(41:11):
which was AZT and three TC combined. Those drugs were
very harsh on the person. The side effects were almost
as bad. And that just tried to treat the HIV virus.
Remember that AIDS doesn't kill you. On this World Age's Day,
let's talk about it. AIDS doesn't kill you, Okay, The
(41:34):
opportunistic infections that it leaves you open to are what
kill you. Kapasi sarcoma a rare skin cancer that was
only seen in Mediterranean men. Numrosistus pneumonia a form of pneumonia,
again that only happened we all, most of us have
the virus in us for pneumosistus pneumonia, but our body
(41:54):
keeps it at Bay Mai mac which affected the eyes,
which they could get it from a cytomegalavirus which you
could get from cat litter or in your garden. That
would kill you first, it would put you blind. So
there were many things that killed people with AIDS. AIDS
has never killed one person ever. Ever, Nobody dies of AIDS.
(42:19):
You die of the opportunistic infections. Your immune system just
gets so zapped, or the drugs murder your system and
you end up dying because of the drugs, liver failure,
kidney failure, heart failure. AIDS itself doesn't kill anybody. And
remember what it stands for, acquired immune deficiency syndrome syndrome. Okay,
(42:47):
So AIDS is an umbrella and all of these different
diseases fall under that umbrella, and they're the diseases that
people with the compromised immune system that AIDS gives get.
So people went along with AZT three TC Combevie other drugs,
(43:08):
and they worked, but not that great. But life expectancy
went from eighteen months to two three four years even
with these drugs, maybe even five years. I mean at
a time where people were dropping dead, we'd take another
year or two of their life. Then Stanford started a
(43:28):
drug study along with some other universities for what would
become known as protease inhibitors, and they attack the virus
differently than the non nukes. And what these do is
they inhibit. James Schnabel in the chat room could tell
you better. They inhibit a part of the virus, the protease,
(43:52):
which is I believe a protein. They inhibit it, and
thus the virus can be seen by the immune system
and attacked because AIDS, remember, infects the immune system, and
the protease inhibitors keep it out of the immune system.
They make it so it can't enter. It strips the
(44:14):
protease off of the virus, so the virus can't insert
itself into your T cells. Because that's what AIDS does.
It inserts itself into your immune cells, into your CD
four cells, your T four cells. It inserts itself into
those cells, and then your very immune system becomes your enemy. Well,
(44:38):
protease inhibitors found a way to prevent that, and so
viral loads went from hundreds of thousands in your blood
to non detectable. Doctor David ho Magic Johnson's doctor was
the doctor that helped invent protease inhibitors. I've met him,
talk to him, interviewed him. So suddenly AIDS became a
(45:02):
more manageable condition, a chronic condition, still deadly like diabetes,
but chronic like diabetes. And that's good, but it also
got people complacent. It also got people thinking, oh, well,
if I get AIDS, it's no big deal. It is
(45:24):
a big deal. You don't want HIV, you just don't
want it. And on this world Aide's Day, I think
it's important for you to understand the genesis of how
it went from people dropping dead in twelve months from
diagnosis to living multiple years to where now gay men
are with HIV AIDS actually have to worry about diseases
(45:46):
of getting old heart disease, kidney failure, lung disease, all
of that because AIDS itself and the syndrome capalcees and
pneumocistis and the various other diseases aren't taking a hold,
so they're living long enough to have heart attacks, and
they're living larder, you know, to get cancer, regular cancers,
you know. So that complacency has made young people forget
(46:15):
that every two hours in the United States someone passes
away because of complications of HIV. And when you have
a White House now that is not participating in today's
events raising awareness funding. They cut funding for drugs, life
saving drugs. They're now talking about funding obesity drugs, but
(46:40):
not HIV drugs. That's how cruel Donald Trump has become
and the nation under him. Now, so many of you
lost very close friends to HIV AIDS. A lot of
you live in the San Francisco area, a town that
was ravaged. There were so many garage fails. I remember
(47:03):
one time Andrew and I went to San Francisco and
there were garage fills all over the castro, like everywhere.
And we asked a guy we were with, We're like,
why are there so many garage sales? He said, oh,
from dead people, you know, people that have died. And
Andrew looked at me and said, never sell my stuff
at a garage sale. And I never did. I never did.
(47:27):
But it was so moving. And then in San Francisco,
a lot of the queens got buzz cuts, and everyone wondered, why, why,
why are all the queens you know bald or shaved heads?
And they did it in solidarity for those with HIV
AIDS who were on medications that made their hair fall out.
So San Francisco was ravaged, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Austin,
(47:52):
Miami just ravaged. I've lost so many close personal friends
Lorenzo Clark, Brack's and Gary, Alexander, John Delacy, Tracy Montclair,
on and on down the line. I could go. I've
lost so many very close personal friends to HIV AIDS
that I can't even count anymore. Imagine going to a
(48:15):
party to say goodbye to your friend because you knew
after the party they were going to kill themselves. I've
done that. Imagine bringing something to the party so that
you could help them kill themselves. I've done that. Where
we each set something down and it can't kill them,
but when combined with something, it can. We've come a
(48:36):
long way, but not far enough until there is a cure.
We have not come far enough, because too many people
still die. You know, too many people still die from
HIV AIDS. So on this World Age's Day, just remember
(48:57):
it's not cured. Protease inhibitors are great and they have
saved countless lives, but they are not the be all
and all treatment that They're like insulin. You know, insulin
works for some people, doesn't work for others. After a
while stops working. These are great drugs, but the drugs
(49:18):
are rough. Protease inhibitors have huge side effects, liver failure,
kidney damage. So just remember on this World Aide's Day
that we still have a distance to go. We're not
across the finish line yet. And one person dying every
two hours in America of HIV AIDS. That's too many,
(49:41):
and worldwide, I'm sure it's higher. There's still under developed
nations and African nations and other places where there's still stigma,
where the drugs aren't available, where they don't have prep therapy.
Because Donald Trump cut it off. We were providing prep
therapy to high risk nations to stop the spread of
(50:01):
HIV AIDS and guess what, we've now cut that off
and he won't even acknowledge HIV AIDS today. What a
horrible man, What a horrible administration. What a horrible country
once again. You know, I've been watching a lot of
stories recently about you know, gays and on this world
(50:24):
Age's day. I was also reminded of a soldier, a
Navy soldier who died. His name was Alan Schindler, Junior,
and he was beaten to death by another Navy by
two other Navy officers or not officers, but you know, soldiers,
and then the Navy covered it up. And it was
(50:46):
in the nineties before, right before. It's because of him
that don't ask, don't tell. Pretty much happened. But I
was reminded about how horrible this country has historically treated
me and people like me, and not in the really
distant past, just in the recent past. And now I
see us going back there again. I see Donald Trump
(51:09):
trying to turn the clock back to the eighties and
nineties when it comes to LGBTQ people. And that includes
a shame on him for not recognizing today and shame
on the world for forgetting that age still killed too
many vibrant, wonderful people, and we need a cure.
Speaker 5 (51:44):
Now.
Speaker 7 (51:45):
Is show side.
Speaker 4 (52:00):
Sandy in the chatroom at YouTube dot com Forward slash
early corell It amazes me how unconcerned young people are
nowadays in regards to AIDS. When I was a young
adult in the late eighties, it was a scary time.
It still is a scary time. They're just too stupid
to know it. I mean no offense to young gays,
but they're idiots. They're absolute idiots when it comes to AIDS.
They think prep works. They're out there swapping body fluids.
(52:23):
It's it's scary. It's a scary time now, and there's EMPOCHS, COVID,
there's other diseases that have come along. Sex is dirty,
let's you know, let's just be real. In today's world,
you should not be swapping body fluids with anybody unless
you've both been together for a while and tested. And
(52:43):
even then, you know, Andrew and I had save sex
all the time because he had HIV, But if he didn't,
we would have still had save sex. Why I don't
trust my health to a man's fidelity, and that bothers
some people that I have dated. But the fact is
men cheat. Women do too, but gay men, I think
(53:04):
cheat more than women. And I'm not going to be
one of these people that I've had people on my show,
mostly women, that only slept with one man their entire
life and have AIDS because he went out and cheated,
And so it is not gone, and it still is scary.
AIDS is still frightening to me. And the fact that
(53:27):
young gays are not frightened by it just means they're
ignorant to what really happened, how it happened, and the
fact that it's still happening. And that is the gay
community's fault. We wanted to get past AIDS because of
the stigma and because of the violence. We were hurt
and harmed and killed because of AIDS. People saw us
(53:48):
as spreaders of AIDS, so they would kill us. And
so the gay community tried to move past it, but
were not past it. There is still no cure. All right, Well,
we've got Pete the war criminal. Will he be tried,
Will Trump commute the sentence? Probably? Will he be tried,
(54:09):
Probably not, We'll see. We got Netanyahu asking for a pardon,
that war criminal and killer, All these murderers and killers
asking for pardons and you know, not being prosecuted. Pete's
a killer. Our secretary of Defense is a murderer. He
ordered a second hit on a boat that killed people
that may have been innocent. That's a murderer and a
(54:32):
war criminal. Do with that what you like, but he's
a murderer. We have a president insulting the media. We
have a president not acknowledging World Ade's Day. We have
a president picking a fight with Venezuela of all places.
There's got to be something there. He wants oil, rare, earth, minerals, whatever.
It's not about drugs. He's lying when he says it's
(54:54):
about drugs because he's pardoning a drug lord, a cocaine lord,
so it can't be about drugs. It's certainly not about
putting America first or making America great. So I don't
know what his beef with Venezuela is, but whatever it is,
we're going to pay the price. Just like you know,
(55:15):
he cut state programs for HIV AIDS at the VA
and other places. But he just in the last year
has spent seventy two million dollars on golfing.
Speaker 7 (55:25):
You and I.
Speaker 4 (55:27):
You and I have spent seventy two million dollars to
make sure the president can golf on weekends. And all
that money that he's billing goes into his pocket every
time he goes tomorrow Lago. He makes the Secret Service
rent these rooms at huge prices. Every time he goes golfing.
(55:47):
He's billing the government seventy two million dollars we've paid
for him to not stay in Washington, DC, as people
right now did not get their full snap benefits in
in November. People are starving and hurting in this country,
and he has spent seventy million of our dollars to
(56:09):
go back and forth to Marlago. Isn't that something? Isn't
that something? Sam Giamo Sam from KKGN, Do I know KKGN?
Was I on KKGN? Is that Cousbay? Is that the
one in Cousbay?
Speaker 5 (56:30):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (56:30):
Granny lived to be fifty. Here's now seventy four. His
wife has died of ades. He's doing amazingly well. Much
to be thankful for. And Trump wants to cut funding
for medical research. Yep, Trump hates science. He hates medical research.
It's just we live in the upside down. You know,
(56:50):
I just watched the first four episodes of the last
season of Stranger Things, and they really should have dealt
with the age. They really should have you know, they're
like twenty five and still in high school. Like Yah,
know Millie, Bobby Brown has a daughter. It's like, come on,
but it's still incredible television, very Spielbergie, and it's wonderful.
It's wonderful. I'd like to say it's not, but it is.
(57:11):
It's great. And I watched the first four episodes, the
next three come on Christmas, and then the final one
New Year's Eve, and it's very nostalgic. It's set in
the eighties. But then I look at it and think, oh, yeah,
AIDS was about to happen, because it's set in eighty three.
AIDS came around about eighty seven, eighty eight, eighty five,
eighty six, somewhere around there. Like musical chairs, the music stopped.
(57:35):
We all had to sit down, or those that wanted
to live. And so we live in a world where
war criminals collect government salaries, where Donald Trump pleads poverty
for all kinds of things, but then is spending seventy
million of our dollars to go to and from his
mar lago to go golfing. But last month they couldn't
(57:59):
pay all the snap benefits. They never did say why,
but a lot of them were. I bet you all
think they were all funded one hundred percent in full
once the government reopened. Nope, millions of people only got
half their benefit. Some didn't get any and they didn't
even after the government reopened. They didn't get their snap
(58:20):
and there are some people that haven't gotten it for December.
People are starving over the holidays. What does Donald Trump
do take off to mar A Lago on our dime,
not recognize World Aide's Day, And all that says to
me is that queers don't matter. We're back to that again. Gays, lesbians, transpi,
we don't matter. We don't matter to the government. We
(58:42):
don't matter to the GOP, we don't matter to MAGA.
We don't matter. It's okay to pick on us, legislate
against us, and let us die. We're right back there again.
One of the reasons I don't want to stay here.
I've really looked ahead to the next year and I
thought to myself, do I really want to stay here
even if the Democrats take the mid terms. I don't know.
(59:05):
If I can increase my income and go to a
city that's metropolitan and like London, Paris, Lisbon, whatever, then
you know, Dublin, I could be convinced. All right, I'll
see you back tomorrow. I love you all. Thank you
