>> The corona virus has evolved feelings of
panic, sometimes ignoring from some people
after it's all been coming forward, which
is of course, sparks many people to take advantage
of the situation potentially profit from it.
Into Alex Jones and televangelist Jim Bakker
who also, they are hawking somethings that
have gotten them in trouble with the law a
bit.
Let's start with our friend Alex Jones.
Let's see what he's pushing over this,
>> I'm not gonna belabor this, I'm just gonna
tell you that for just your daily life and
your gums and your teeth and for regular viruses
and bacteria.
The patented nano silver we have The Pentagon
has come out and documented and Homeland Security
and said this stuff kills the whole SARS Corona
family at point blank range.
Well, of course, it does, it kills every virus.
>> But they found out this is 13 years ago
and the Pentagon uses the product we have.
The Nano, the Silver toothpaste and the Super
Blue with the T3 and the iodine, the super
blue is amazing.
Then we have the whitening toothpaste that
has the nano silver and a lot more as well.
Those are both excellent they're enforce with
our commerce will just comes despite all the
hell breaking loose.
>> So Alex Jones, if you heard it correctly,
in the middle of that mentions how the government
is tested behind it, and he has the backing
of the government in a way he was saying all
that.
So that got the attention of New York Attorney
General Leticia James.
On Thursday, she ordered Jones to cease and
desist selling and marketing products as treatments
for the corona virus.
The notice to Jones came after he, of course,
as we just heard, pitched these things as
effective against this virus.
So and lastly, as the coronavirus continues
to pose, she says, a serious risk to public
health, Alex Jones has spewed outright lies,
and has profited off of New Yorkers' anxieties,
she said in the statement.
So that was strike number one.
So we addressed a little bit of Alex real
fast.
>> Yeah, let's let's talk about Alex before
we move on to Jim Baker.
If you think about it, it's actually an interesting
business model.
He comes up with the most insane conspiracy
theories, and anyone stupid enough to believe
it, he can sell anything to.
And so then he comes up with this nano silver
technology, and you're gonna be happy to find
out that it's obviously in toothpaste form.
And it's not only silver but blue, it's called
Super Blue toothpaste.
And so if you believed any of the other crap
he was telling you, you're like, well, obviously
Super Blue toothpaste is gonna cure everything
I have.
And I actually talked to a person who worked
with a lot of these shows and and doesn't
do it anymore, but as did sales for these
crap products that obviously don't work.
And he's like, look for these right wing audiences,
they'll believe anything.
So it's so easy to sell them stuff that isn't
remotely true.
>> Yeah.
>> And especially at a time of panic.
>> Right.
>> They create panic, you should be afraid,
the immigrants are coming, everybody, the
Muslims are coming, everything is fear, right?
And then he's like, but don't worry, I got
you.
I got a Super Blue toothpaste and that's gonna
cure everything.
So problem solved.
>> Right, yeah, this Alex Jones guy is been
banned from every social media platform and
you can't trust someone who's also been banned
from PayPal, he can use PayPal either.
But I'm glad you brought up that in a time
of panic people believe everything and I'm
gonna put the the the responsibility on us
as a people about educating ourselves.
But we'll come back to that, let's go to to
the other the televangelists who's also making
noise?
>> Yeah, Jim Bakker of course.
I mean, this is a guy who's been doing this
for a while, so this isn't even anything new
for him.
But it's just the coronavirus pandemic and
outbreak and fears have also forced him to
go this direction now.
There's a woman in this in this back and forth
that is she's seen as a naturopathic doctor.
Her name is Cheryl Selman.
I'm not making that up.
>> Cheryl Selman is her name.
So let's see what Selman and Bakker had to
say about this.
>> This influenza that is now circling the
globe.
You're saying that Silver Solution would be
effective.
>> Well, let's say it hasn't been tested on
this strain of the coronavirus but it's been
tested on other strains-
>> Yeah.
>> Of the coronavirus and has been able to
eliminate it within 12 hours.
>> Yeah.
>> Totally-
>> Yeah.
>> Eliminated, kills it and deactivates it.
>> Yeah.
>> And then it boosts your immune system.
So then you can support the recovery because
when you kill the virus, then the immune system
comes into action to clear it out.
So you want a vibrant immune system as well
as an ability to deactivate these viruses.
>> That's so good.
>> That's so good.
>> Yummy.
>> It's so good.
Okay, so really fast, the New York came after
Alex Jones, the Missouri came after Bakker.
So after he suggested on this show that collodial
silver could cure the novel coronavirus.
The Attorney General Missouri announced Tuesday
that is suing him as part of a larger effort
among law enforcement to crack down on fake
treatments for this illness.
He's been selling it for as much as $125 in
a variety pack deal.
>> Go on, it seems an idea.
>> Costco deal.
>> Yeah.
>> Kind of back deals.
And lastly, as I mentioned earlier, he's long
peddled this Silver Solution as a cure for
treatment for a number of aches and ailments.
And now he took it to this one, and one more
graph of that next one, this is the this is
the real kicker.
The National Institutes for Health has warned
its side effects can actually be dangerous
for your health, not even just like you're
selling them a placebo.
And some of those dangers include turning
a person's skin a bluish gray color.
>> Dead, okay, so on that note, I'm not mad
at Alex Jones or Jim Bakker because this is
what they do.
It's standing is expecting a different result,
doing the same thing over and over again,
they're not changing.
I do think that, we the people need to make
sure that we're educating ourselves on how
to combat Covid19.
And the only places that I'm going for accurate
or I hate to say accurate because even the
CDC know what the hell is going on.
But you have the World Health Organization
and the CDC point blank period.
Also, if I could just bring up stigma that
is coming from coronavirus.
Because I like, millions of people suffer
from seasonal allergies.
They have similar symptoms to the coronavirus.
People are now being afraid to even cough
in public because the shame, I was at Walmart
and this woman was violently moving away from
a woman who sneezed for whatever reason.
So let's be aware and do your homework to
figure out and educate yourself on what exactly
the symptoms are the coronavirus, and also
make sure that you are not adding to this
symptoms because that's what next with this.
>> Yeah, and by the way sneezing has nothing
to do with it, I've sneezed on air and people
were like, my God.
>> Okay, it was a dry cough that you're looking
for.
Sneezing is nothing to do with it.
All right, but look, these Alex Jones and
Jim Bakker, I'm amused that they've basically
turned their entire enterprise into QVC for
nuts, right?
And Alex Jones shows all those insane conspiracy
theories.
But don't forget Jim Bakker mainly doesn't
show about end times.
End times is the biggest conspiracy there
is and a lot of folks believe that.
No, yeah, if we destroy a mosque and then
there's a seven-step program.
And then Jesus flies in on a unicorn, once
we kill the Muslims, etc.
So if you've got people believing that kinda
nonsense, yeah, they're gonna believe in Silver
Surfer too.
>> So why does everyone of these potions have
the word, silver, in it?
>> For him his silver solution for Jones,
it's nano silver.
And then by the way, the other thing that
they usually sell is gold on the right wing
shows, right?
So it's like these weird trigger words like
gold and in dark times you didn't go gold.
>> You'll hear it get referred to a lot in
the Bible, the silver is in the gold, it's
the gift they were giving, it's a reference
point.
>> That's why, that's why.
>> Not to reopen a lot of right wingers to
being also hyper religious but majority of
them are and they cling tightly to the book.
>> Yeah, and by the way, this isn't just like
Chris, of course, so in Iran there's they're
hit by with a nano coronavirus really, really
badly.
They're literally digging mass graves, we
showed it earlier in the show.
And there are frauds and scammers there and
in their case 44 people have died of alcohol
poisoning because they have these local quacks
doing toxic drinks that mix it methanol.
So it's happening all across the world, all
different religions.
Scam artists, unfortunately view this as an
opportunity, which is as gross as it gets.
Later in the show, they pretended that there's
silver surfer thing or whatever.
>> Its a Marvel, that's a Marvel superhero
Cenk.
>> Okay, also well, it's a superhero it makes
sense because it cures coronavirus, but also
SARS and HIV apparently.
>> Everything.
And people believe this stuff, but my favorite
part is that it turns you bluish gray.
>> You're Smurf now,
>> But as Smurf maybe or maybe the tournament
to Dr. Manhattan and then they are cured.
>> You can turn me to Dr. Manhattan as long
as I get what Dr. Manhattan's packing okay,
so I mean I'm not mad at that.
>> Well, it's true advertisements silver stuff
and you get turned bluish gray.
It's all on line, it all adds up.
>> Yeah, it's all about the colors.
Okay, let me just be super clear, none of
it is true.
Okay, there is actually no cure for coronavirus
right now, that's why people are in a panic.
There's no vaccine, there's no cure.
They're working on it, but there is no such
thing right now.
Make sure that you protect yourself and you're
safe.
Don't listen to hucksters like this who are
trying to scam you for
a living.
