BARKLEY: Three hundred million shots. Give a thousand to some NBA players, NFL players, hockey players. Listen, as much taxes as these players paid — let me repeat that — as much taxes as these players paid, they deserve some preferential treatment.

BARKLEY: I didn’t say the amount of money you make.

SMITH: But that’s on taxes.

BARKLEY: No, no, no. I’m saying the amount of taxes these guys pay.

SMITH: We can’t go there. I don’t think you could go there.

RUSH: You can’t go there but Chuck went there, Kenny. Chuck went there. Chuck said that these athletes are paying so much in taxes, they need to be given the vaccine first, that they are deserving of it, they are deserving of preferential treatment ’cause of the taxes they pay. Unbelievable.
