We've learned anything from these past couple of years. My fellow Americans, it's that personal medical freedom and liberty are in crisis. America outlawed post brings together the top experts in healthcare-related fields to keep you a beat ahead. This is Dr. Robyn Armstrong on America outlawed post. Thank you for joining me this afternoon. It's an honor to have you on and I'm joining us today and I'm going to get started right away talking about a personal incident that took place with me in my family this week. It's going to be maybe a little emotional, but I think it's a good story to tell and I think it's just as a memorial. This past Wednesday, we had a dog, our family dog actually

actually died. That dog was named Rusty. He was a beautiful red golden doodle and just a fun dog. I've had some time to reflect on this. I think about my past and I've never been an emotional person in relation to animals. It just happened. I never developed emotional ties to animals growing up. I just wasn't that interested. I was probably had a lot of people around me and certainly right now I've got a great wife, great family and I just hadn't paid a lot of attention to animals. I can remember we got Rusty about eight years ago and Rusty, you know, he said he'll be eight. She would have been eight this October 15th as would be his birthday. He died this past Wednesday at 9.05 pm. We got him about seven, seven, eight years ago. My wife bought him the boys with a clamor for a dog. I have

four sons and they really wanted a dog and they had been on my wife and so she bought this designer dog that came into our family as a little puppy. You know, the boys were obviously very excited and they were just ecstatic and I have a memory as a Christmas morning. We brought Rusty out this little brown red lab. I'm not sorry, brown red golden doodle. He just was just a lot of fun. We played with him and the boys had a great time. You know, it was just a beautiful dog and so it was so we got the dog. My feeling at the time was that I really didn't want a dog. This is the feeling I had. I can remember as a as a boy growing up. My dad would always buy me dogs. Now, granted growing up in my home, we kept the dogs outside and kept them on a chain and I always felt that was a little cruel and my dad would buy me dogs that I never asked

for when I was growing up. So I would oftentimes not even want the dog. I don't want this dog. I don't want to take care of another dog. I don't want to see a dog lying outside on a chain and so it was I didn't think it was a great situation for the animal. So I never wondered but my dad would continue to buy him for me and I would end up taking care of him. So this dog was not, you know, necessarily a welcome addition for me because I was thinking of him. I'm going to someone end up taking care of his dog myself and me and my life are and so but Rusty really grew on us as a as a as a family. First time I kept the dog indoors and so and so you know, he was a remember we went through the potty training process and that was rough. You know, we got a kennel for the dog and we had to keep him in there at night and use that to potty train him over time and eventually got him potty trained and and he just grew up and matured and just became a part of our family.

He was he was on our Christmas pictures and and we took him walking mostly my sons would take him walking. I had taken walking sometimes he's a grew up to be a big 60 pound round red golden doodle who we carry around in neighborhood. Sometimes I felt like he was walking us, you know, as opposed to us walking him. But but yeah, Rusty grew on us, you know, my my my mom, you know, lives in a in a apartment next next to us and she'd come over and she she even grew to love Rusty. He'd come out remember she'd come and she'd sit down at our kitchen table talking to us and Rusty would come and just lay his lay his little head on her lap and and he would she start rubbing him, you know, Rusty, he just wanted affection that's all he wanted and so it was it was interesting and so I you know, he was just a really affectionate dog a playful dog had a great

personality was affectionate playful. We would jump on people and and and he was just a it's just just a good dog a good dog with a good personality and and all he all he ever wanted was just just love and affection and so so yeah, so we so fast forward into a few weeks ago my my wife and I went on on a on a marriage retreat and so we've gone for a few days and and he had been you know, these golden doodles have a lot of hypersensitivity and a lot of a lot of reactions to to allergy reactions and such and so they have a hot spots on them oftentimes and so they'll get they'll get they'll get infected because they'll they'll bite on them and scratch themselves and so he developed these hot spots and we didn't think a lot of it we treated them and they started getting better my wife and I went out of town we got back and it got much worse and so we had to take him

to the veterinarian again and he was just kind of authorgic and tired and didn't feel well and wasn't eating right so we were able to get him some medicine and he'll up the wounds from that were not significant ones but he'll up the little hot spots from from him scratching and so we would we'd work with him there and and he he got better you know we put a little cone on his head because he was he was biting himself because he was itching so bad it was it was creating marks on him and so we we did that and and and all of a sudden it was getting better we took him to the vet like I said he was getting better we got some antibiotics for him we put some spray on the well open source that he has she shaved around a little more and so put the cone so he wouldn't be able to bite himself there and so he was getting better so starting to get better move around a little more took the cone off you know let him walk around a little more he was running up the stairs and Mingus normal self you know he's a he's a big dog so when he runs up the stairs you

can hear the loud you know you know you know we're just running up and down the stairs and and he's a real real playful and running up so he's he's doing that again he's back to his normal self and so we all felt good and so we we were happy to see Rusty back to normal starting to eat a little more as well and so then we we last week last Wednesday my wife and I went to work out and and and we got back and and Rusty was was he had gotten up you know these dogs they're just they they they greet you Rusty would always greet me at the door whenever I come home from work he would run up to the door and greet me and but just with his tail wagging you know rub me rub me you know so he was just just wanted affection and I rub his little head and say hello Rusty Puss I don't always call him Rusty Puss and I talked to him he'd come wag his tail and and say hello meet me at the

door so when my wife and I came in from working out this one evening last Wednesday evening you know he he he got up to greet us like he normally does we walked into the room he got up to greet us but he just collapsed underneath his weight he was he he couldn't get up he collapsed and was unable to get back up and so I picked him up and put him in my truck and my wife and I left and we left my my never-sundered home and and we rusted him up over to the vet when he got to the vet in Aryan you you know they they came out and met us outside we had called him ahead of time and told him that you know looks like the dog was in shock and he was not not awake he was barely breathing and so we they came and swooped him up got him into the vet and started CPR on him started giving him medications and and his belly was expanded and it was it was

distended and and and so we were you know we started CPR or able was able to get a pulse back with Rusty and so at that point you know he was looking like he was probably going to pass away and he was probably brain dead from being without oxygen for such a period of time and so he went ahead and made the decision to put him down so I went and I picked up my son from from home I called him said you know it looks like looks like Rusty's probably not going to make it and and he's dying and so I went and picked him up and and so so after we you know after I picked him up it's about 20 minutes away what got my son you know brought him up to the vet's clinic and you know Rusty's still had a heartbeat but but he was this barely breathing what we call agonial breathing in the medical community and was about to die and so then we just decided that we needed to put him down because he was

brain dead and not going to survive and so so this was a big event so we were my wife was very upset and tearful and and and I got tearful and obviously my son came in and he was very tearful you know my other sons who were close to Rusty were not at home at the time one of my sons had got just recently gone off to college and another one is in college and been there and one was off out with his with a friend and so so we decided that he makes she put you know go ahead and and and let him let Rusty rest in peace and so this was really a significant thing I I was not aware and my wife was not aware I was not aware that it would affect me to this to this extent but but it certainly did have it have an impact and I you know what why am I telling you a long story about a dog I'm passing away because I will tell you I

think that when you as I look back on you know our relationship and I'm walking around the house now and you know I miss him greeting us at the door I miss him greeting me at the door I miss him you know you know coming in and smelling around for food on the on the floor you know I get up at night to use the restroom sometime and and I miss kind of dodging him on the floor and walking around him or seeing him sleeping on our little chair next to our bed I I just I miss that and so we miss him being around because he was a part of our family and and and so this is someone who didn't come from you know family that had dogs you know in the house and close and around like that but the dog was very much a part of our family and and and then we miss Rusty a lot we we mourned his death you know because because he was having an impact and one thing that I I could take from

you know that the whole experience now experiencing the loss of our of our animal like this is is that all that dog wanted was affection all Rusty wanted was affection you know he didn't want anything more and and you could treat him in any way you know Rusty was generally treated very well but boy you treat him and he would just come back from more affection he just wanted affection and he just wanted love and that's all he asked for and and and I'll tell you I think that that if if you know we could act more with a mindset of just forgiveness you know and and and just with a mindset of just just service and and respect and just you know just not expecting anything in return

from people but but just just desiring you know goodness from people and just desiring goodness just you not just desiring you know a little bit of favor from people but not demanding it you know and and and and when you when you don't get what you want just just just don't don't don't soak or complain or anything but but I think when they say dog to man's best friend it really really I understand that obviously a lot more now Richard Nixon said very famously in Washington DC if you want a friend get a dog you know that dog was a friend and I'll tell you Rusty was a good friend to us he was a good dog for us you know he was he was a part of our family he was happy he was just just just a just a good dog I can remember him sticking his head out the window when we would take him on car trips and man he was just having just a time in his life you know and and and

and and I'll tell you I think that that's a time for us to just you know we we certainly more in that dog and I've never more in the dog like that before I've been sad about our dogs dying for sure that when I was growing up as a boy but I've never really really mourned a dog as a family and so we're gonna miss Rusty we miss his presence here in our household and we certainly miss his his time that he was with us and I I think that that we could learn a lot from how some of our animals interact you know I hope to see Rusty in heaven one day I don't know dogs certainly don't have a spirit but but someone mentioned earlier that that you know God loves us and and we love our animals I think that that that maybe her way make a way that we could see them in any any eternity one day so so rest in peace Rusty we we certainly will miss you and in our family more ensuing and and I just want to share that story because I I think that it's a common story

but I think a lot of dog people understand that story I think a lot of people who really don't have dogs and don't own dogs really may not understand that story I know I was wanting to not understand that story prior to this episode but but it is a you know it's a it's a it's a moving it is moved our family in a way that I think is just really really made us closer it's got our cause our family to be closer because our family to to just think about things a little more in depth you know think about how we can honor and serve on another better you know and and think about how we can you know interact better and how this this dog was a was a something that that could help unify us even more and make us even closer and as we as we mourn together and so so just keep our family your prayers we're doing well you know we're doing well and so we just

and I want to just just want to share that story just because I think it was it's something that I I certainly wanted to remember Rusty's time with us and then I'm able to share that with you so this is Dr. Robin Armstrong on a America out loud the pulse America out loud talk radio plays on iHeartRadio network you can listen on our media player from any web browser anywhere in the world we have the best in class apps and you could tune in from any web browser on apple and joyd and Alexa we stream 24 seven and now you can also hear on podcasts on the next day all of these shows will go to podcast on the day after you can hear them on apple Spotify Pandora tune in iHeart podcast and many more so hopefully you'll join us this is Dr. Robin Armstrong on the pulse your heart is the most crucial muscle in your body are you doing enough to keep it strong introducing the wellness companies breakthrough healthy heart formula designed by Dr. Peter McCullough

and now you can also hear them on podcasts on these same apps welcome back to dr. Robyn Armstrong on america out loud the pulse so now we're going to talk about back to these midterm elections and i just want to talk real important about real frankly about how you where i think the democrats want to do to us as a nation and so i think the democrats party has really taken a radical radical turn left and so i just want to talk about that with you today and and just to go into a little more details about what they have planned for us you know i really believe that there's one party in this country now that that that loves america and and there's one party that that despises america that doesn't love america and so i can remember when when Barack Obama was president i was not a Barack Obama supporter i worked very hard to elect john

mccainy but i didn't like him very much either but i just thought that his values were more in line with with what i believed in Barack Obama and but when Barack Obama was president i still loved america i still i didn't agree with the decision that was made but when he was elected and they reelected i still love the country i still thought america was the greatest country in the world despite elected someone who i didn't think share those same values when the democrats and whenever the republicans elected the democrats by and large they they hate the country you know i can remember michelle abama saying very very distinctly she said when her husband was elected president she said it was the first time that she was proud of america now i just want to pause and have you think about that you know a first lady of the united states

said this is the first time i have been proud of united states of america and it's and she was only proud because the country had just elected her husband president and now that's that's an unbelievable statement you know i have the fortunate blessing to be able to travel all over the world and i and i know including africa including europe multiple times in asia and so and i know that people love united states and american they love nothing more than to live here in united states of america and so and so other nations love other people love our nation and understand this when i was in africa i had a i can remember driving down the road in in in in iroby kina and and i saw a big sign that said you know this road was paved by the finances and the generosity of the people of the united states of america i mean there's

a big huge sign on the side of the road that said that in iroby kina and i remember that very well and i thought you know wow and i was in my early 20s at the time and i was i thought to myself man i am so proud of my nation at that time i was proud of it then i was proud of it before then but i i it gave me something to kind of stick my chest out about and say wow i really love this nation we are we're in a good nation it's such a good nation for and then for a first lady in the united states to say that for the first time she was proud of her nation just because her husband was on that discous she was given power that amazed me when i'm telling you folks this is the mindset of the democrat party and left they believe that our nation was founded on slavery they believe in this is what the 16 19 project is all about they believe that our country is

is is is inherently evil you know even though there's lots of evidence that our founding fathers did not want slavery they they they they accept it slavery because it was a way of life at the time you know but but america is is actually gotten rid of slavery in 90 years america has slaves for 90 years 90 you know 1776 when we became a a nation and we started fighting for independence at that time and and up to to 18 you know 65 when the civil war was over you know we ended slavery and there was a lot of Christian people a lot of white people obviously a lot of black people fought very hard to enslave in this nation and it lasted for 90 years and so horrible staying on our country nor excuse for it but slavery here was

a lot less than it was in other nominations and so but but they believe our nation was founded on that they believe that our nation was founded on stolen lands and killing people and and just taken over lands in a very evil manner I'll tell you I just this is the foundation of the Democrat Party today they do not love america unless they are in power and I think that is so unfortunate and this is where we are we cannot allow and I think I think that it's very dangerous for us to allow someone to be in power in our nation at any level who does not inherently love the nation that they live in and they don't inherently love the states that they live in they don't inherently love the communities that they live in because they think

this nation is stained you know one party the Republican party believes in freedom and private property rights and the constitution and the other party the Democrat Party they believe in socialism government redistribution of its property and shrew law this is what the Democrat Party believes and now they won't tell you that they believe in shrew law but they're certainly accepting all these candidates who are promoting living in shrew living according to shrew law they're not standing in the way of it they're certainly are promoting it redistribution of his property Barack Obama said countless times that he was in favor of redistribution he believed in redistributive policies to redistribute wealth amongst many different populations many different poverty groups basically redistribute the wealth to the people that voted for him essentially and they believe in socialism now they follow on accepted socialism as well and and there was a

resolution in the United States House of Representatives to condemn socialism and communism only nine Democrats signed on to that resolution in the United States House of Representatives only nine the other Democrats were in opposition to it and so clearly there they believe in socialism there is a frank and stark difference between the two parties today and and we we can't afford to let Democrats look at all these transgender policies um just aggressive aggressive and sexual policies where they believe in you know trans or kids um they essentially are making this a civil rights issue um you know many of the trans community today and and when I say trans community I'm talking

about adults there are no trans kids you're either boy or girl male or female and and and and and and a girl cannot become a boy and a boy cannot become a girl it just cannot happen and so what is happening today I see it as a physician I see it happen in Texas children's hospital in Houston Texas that just you know now they have to form a detransitioning clinic but by force they didn't do it on purpose they were transing kids against Texas law for years and they just are great attorney general Ken Paxton just want to settle and against them within the last few months forcing them to stop what they're doing and and and to have a detransition clinic and so but they want to trans our kids they want to they they believe in having you know trans story hour in our in our kids they want you know grown men you know dressed up like

women the lipstick and fake fake boobs and all this is just embarrassing they want these men who have sexual fetishes who who are who are who are perverted coming into schoolables and and having reading stories to our kids they wanting to normalize this very abnormal behavior and and and if someone like myself or someone like you who is normal thinking comes to them and says you know look a boy is a boy and a girl is a girl and you can't change that then they call that genocide they say that you're you're trying to kill us you want to do away with us which is which is absolutely not true it's it's but it but the left certainly says that the democrat party says that why is that because they want to make this they want to empower this group to become violent against um right minded thinking people you know that that that's the only thing

I can think of because that's certainly what has happened you know you look at the murder of Charlie Kirk it was a trans man or it was a homosexual man who was in a trans relationship with another man he was in a relationship with a trans man I think it's so confusing I can't even say define the terms property properly but but but also the the man that he was in a relationship was also a furry and whatever that is that she that person thinks that they're they have some animal characteristics as well so not only is he not a man he he's a man who is pretending to be a woman who is also part animal and so that's the person who killed Charlie Kirk was in a relationship with a person like that so this was a person who was frankly mentally ill and and and and democrats are wanting to push these policies on to our children and further confuse them

you know there have been a studies that have gone out that have shown that that people who are you know the trans community after they transition from one gender to a next they are actually more likely to commit suicide and to be suicide more likely and so one of the big things that the doctors have said doctors at Texas children I'm sure I've said this and and told parents this they'd say well would you rather have a alive daughter or or a dead son you know sort of bullying parents Elon Musk said that they told him this which which caused him to be to sort of sit back and allow the physicians to transition his son to a female and he was angry about it because he determined that he was lied to and he was lied to and physicians who do this frankly ought to be put in jail frankly it's amazing to me how when the money stopped

flowing when Texas shut off the money from these transitions it's amazing how how all of the sudden you know the pediatric community nationwide began to express some reservations about it the the surgical community started to express reservations about it when the money was shut off from it so this was a money making venture and people were willing to harm you know the the hypocritical said first you know harm but physicians and hospitals were willing to harm people harm people to tell them a lie and you can be this you know where you you you you you can transition we we can cut off your breasts and we can create a a a a fake penis of some kind to to to transition you and we can make you another gender when this is exactly when it's not possible physicians should

be held accountable I believe they should be actually they should be held criminally accountable and certainly they should be held financially accountable as well Democrats want to allow boys and girls and girls and girls and women's safe spaces as well this is something that they that they promote and something that they're in favor of they're they're they allow the Biden administration allowed a foreign invasion so these is what allowed a foreign invasion of people to come into our country from our southern border transition from from from sexual sins of the left to to sort of the border policy sins of the left they've allowed they want it to allow foreigners to come from our borders including criminals including people because they want to you know change the makeup of our of our nation the great

replacement theory is what actually the left calls it they say we're fearful of that but that's exactly what they plan on doing that's what they want to do they want to import more Democrat voters so they can win elections despite the fact that that some maybe criminals despite the fact that some maybe murderers in their terms despite the fact that some may be very evil people they want to allow them in the Democrat party has a plan to allow them in so they can get more votes um they've set up um permission structures for murder as well you know when you live the car Charlie Kirk murder it's sad to me that a lot of Democrats actually celebrated the murder of our friend Charlie Kirk and and they celebrated this and and there's no doubt about how they celebrated the you know his murder and and it is um it's just yeah it's just shameful at least just shameful they set up a permission structure for that by by saying you know you're committing suicide if

you call someone Hitler enough you know there's someone's gonna go after him and try to kill him you know if you say it's someone trying to commit genocide against the entire community then someone's gonna go after them and obviously those things are not happening but but that's what the Democrat left says and so I believe that that that the Democrat party wants to fundamentally change our country just like Barack Obama said he wanted to I believe that they're not proud of this country just like his wife said she was never proud until a game power and and I believe that that they want to tear down every fundamental pillar that this country has been built on the pillars of freedom liberty private property rights the Constitution of the United States they want to tear down those pillars so that they can rebuild a socialist communist what they believe is a utopia and so I think that that that we have

to fight back against this in these midterm elections you know one of the things they want to do is well is socialize healthcare and medicine we have to fight back against this in these midterm elections I think it's important I think they were gonna have to push back strong to make sure we hold on the house and send it and next segment we're gonna talk about healthcare in detail and how they want to socialize the healthcare system this is Robin Armstrong on America out loud news network you can listen to our app from any web browser in the world and so we want to join you to do that you can hear our show on podcast afterwards so it'll be played on Apple Spotify, Two and Anonuals podcast once our show is over thank you and join us in our next segment we're gonna talk a little more detail about socialism and we're gonna talk about how they want to socialize our healthcare system during treatment the structure of tap water gets messed up yes we have to purify water but what are we doing to fix the water structure so the body can actually absorb it

this is dr robin Armstrong i'm an out loud news network thank you for joining me today it's called a post it shows called a post with dr robin Armstrong glad you joined me it's exciting to have you here today and and we're going to in our last segment we're going to talk about about health care i am a medical physician and so this is something that's near and dear to my heart health care is is so so very important it's important obviously because it's the most important thing to people you know you if without your health and so and people want to live and so it's important and it's one aspect of of of politics that every person you know every person is going to interact with the health care system at some point you know i told a story earlier about my my my dog rusty who had passed away he we we have interacted with the veterinarian health care system you know we we certainly interacted much as a

physician i've interacted with our our our human health care system i've interacted with it a lot as a physician i've interacted with it a lot with it personally with my wife having health issues in the past with my my father passed away i had a lot of health issues as well so every individual in america and in on the earth essentially but in america for sure and develop countries they're you're going to interact with the health care system at some point and so it's an extremely important issue in 2018 the which was a midterm election at that time where Trump was president he had been present for two years and so it's fairly similar to the situation that we we have today in 2026 where Trump has been present for two years and we have another midterm election during that midterm in 2018 the United States House

Republicans weren't control of the House and the Senate Republicans lost 40 seats in the United States House of Representatives and at that time it gave control over to the Democrat Party and so we were fighting to make sure that doesn't happen but this there was a study that was done in 2018 and by the Republican National Committee of which I'm on so on and that study showed that for the first time many many years Republicans lost suburban women and the issue that they lost suburban women over was the health care issue the health care issue was the most important issue to them in 2018 and I'd say that's only increased in importance today and I'm not even talking about abortion for these women I'm talking about just health care taking care of their families because everyone knows that that women manage the health care in their homes by and large and so it's so important

that that that conservatives or Republicans talk about solutions to our health care I think that President Trump knows this very well he's seen those stats and and if you follow the midterm convention at all you'll see that we had sections in the midterm convention that talked about health care they talked about Trump Rx accounts which has saved saved hundreds of millions of dollars off prescription drugs by negotiating drug prices with the drug companies a lot of foreign countries have gotten cheap drug drug prices because their whole government has negotiated with pharmaceutical companies they get little prices and so it causes us to have to pay more because they need to make money on all the research and development that they've done well Trump decided to end that and he he's negotiated with these pharmaceutical companies as well and said you know you need to charge them a little more and then and then charge Americans a little less and

so it saved hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars on on medications in the United States which is a big big deal we talk about health care affordability as well and so which is extremely important and so he understands that health care is an important issue to allow suburban women and that we need to talk about this and the fact is is the the statistics show that when we talk about health care we are able to win some of these women over because it's something that they talk about but the socialists also talk about health care democrat party talks about health care they talk about health care for all it's a it's a fixation of theirs and this is why they talk about it because they know this is important to these all-important suburban women you know women make up more than 50 percent of our population today they make up more than 50 percent of our workforce they make up well over 50 percent of people graduating colleges and so it so they're an important group and and so certainly we are important as well but but women they they tend to flex in and out of parties

you know based on based on the issues of the day and I think health care is an important issue that we need to discuss democrat party wants to socialize our health care system and and I this is very concerning to me our health care system is is is in a mess for sure I agree with that that is absolutely the case but I'll tell you the mess that we're in it's we're still in far better shape than any other country in the world and and and how how can I prove that well I can tell you that people come here for their health care you know when there's a very wealthy you know I say I know the Iatola when we had fairly good relationships with Iran he came here for his health care Saudi Arabian princes you know any given time can they'll rent an entire floor at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center here in Houston and and they will they'll come here for their health

care if you have any advanced therapy or surgeries that you need then then the world comes to the United States of America for advanced health care when they need care on on on unique or interesting problems or they need some sort of surgical procedure that come to you the United States of America if you socialize our health care system that will that will cease to exist because you will you will take away the the creativity you will take away the research and development you will take away the free capital that is currently here and allows for people to profit from their inventions and so if you discover some great treatment for a disease then then you should be able to patent that and and and be financially rewarded for that if you socialize the system and the government takes over the system you will dry up that incentive

and you will have likely millions of people dying because you will not have the research development the technological know how to save lives you will lose that we will lose that in this country if we socialize the system you know Ronald Reagan very wise president he was doing general general electric talks and and he tells a story of a socialist he was running for president in the 1960s and he was having that Ronald Reagan was having a conversation with this socialist and this was before Ronald Reagan was involved with politics at all this was when he was doing he was an actor and he was traveling around doing general electric talks about conservative issues but he was talking about health care and he was talking about talking to this he recounted a conversation he had with the socialist he was running for president at the time so he said that and talking to this socialist

he said that that the socialist mentioned to him he said that you know the american people will never accept socialism if we just say it and call it that you know if we just go through all the planks and say this is what we believe this is what you should accept but what this got what this socialist did say he says but if we if we couch it in the terms of compassion if we say healthcare for all you know treating the sick we should treat everyone if we if we couch it in those types of terms and what will happen is the american people will accept the entire socialist platform almost without realizing it because you've you've communicated it in a different way and so that is their plan and so when Bernie Sanders talks about healthcare for all and we should treat everybody well we can have healthcare for all by socializing the system but if you do that

it's going to be the worst healthcare you know in africa they have healthcare for all but it's very very poor healthcare and millions of people die there very poor healthcare in many of these nations even many developed nations they have socialized healthcare and their healthcare is far far inferior to what we have here in the united states of america but that socialist was right and even when he was telling rake and he was saying that they will accept everything that we have to offer it if we just couch it in terms of compassion and caring about our neighbor and caring for our neighbor and this is what the democrats are trying to do now they're trying to take over healthcare and ronoragan also commented that healthcare was an issue that that oftentimes socialist desire to use to socialize our entire system they want to get a foothold into healthcare because if they could do

it in healthcare then they could do it anywhere but healthcare sort of tugs at the heartstrings of conservatives and forces us and not forces us but it certainly compels us to give in oftentimes when when we when they say you know we're we're heartless and we're cruel and so so don't be deceived by that and healthcare is an extremely important issue it's almost 20% of our gross domestic product everyone will interact with the healthcare system at some point but democrats plan is to destroy the greatest healthcare system that the world has ever seen and if they are allowed to do that then it will um you know we will we will see many many people see the mortality rate in this country go up significantly and it will see diseases coming about that we're unable to treat because our technological advances it's not kept up with the

the mutation of bacteria or viruses you know it is it is it's going to be a very very scary thing to see what happens when the democrats are allowed to socialize our healthcare system it's going to be something that we are we do not want to experience here and so I think it's important that we win for that reason as well um if you look at the two biggest killers in the United States of America I'm going to develop country it's it's it's heart disease and cancer you know if you look at where much of the money is being spent in research and development it's heart disease and cancer and that's where we're making most of the technological advances that are saving lives you know PTCAs and stints in the heart save lives bypass surgery where you have a bypass machine you know that was developed by physicians here in in in the city of Houston

and and it was that it has saved many many lives all these medications that have come out to help protect people who are having heart attacks congestive heart failure these medications are saving saving lives and I think it's important that we continue to support and promote a system the free market healthcare system that is brought about all this technological advance the democrats are absolutely going to shut that down if they gain power they're going to shut it down and it's going to we're going to find ourselves in a situation where we're looking to fly to other countries for healthcare because our our healthcare system will absolutely collapse we cannot allow that to happen we got to push back and we've got to fight back hard to make sure that we don't allow the democrats to have any power of foothold in our healthcare system I know that our state

legislature in the last legislative session passed hundreds of millions of dollars to be spent on Alzheimer's disease and so I have no doubt that there's going to be great advances in the in the in the area of Alzheimer's dementia predominantly because of these investments that we're making and the money that's been spent there and and so and the innovation and creativity that is just promoting I think that we need to continue to promote that and to continue to innovate and so healthcare is an extremely important issue we've had tremendous tremendous advances in in healthcare as a result of of the money that flows through that system and so we've got to promote that continue that extremely extremely important democrats model for healthcare

it's just bad healthcare there everyone's going to have it but it's going to be worse healthcare we've ever seen and so I think it's going to be important for the country as a whole to understand this certainly important for suburban women to understand that you're going to have to fight hard to prevent democrats from gaining a foothold because like I said earlier all the things they want to do socialize our healthcare system which is once again destroy our healthcare system they act like they want to trans all of our kids you know the the United States Senate candidate here in Texas telleriko says he loves trans kids more than anything else and and they want to allow criminal illegal aliens into our country so that they can never want to demoralize us and then also so that they can have more voters you know they they want all these things they're they're they want to allow for surreal law which is kind of the moral

component of the things that they want to do this red green alliance is real and and they want to allow for that to come in and be kind of the enforcement mechanism the moral enforcement mechanism for their socialism you know they want to abolish our prisons and and they want to it's amazing to me that that they want to let the criminals out of jail and you see this in a lot of a lot of our liberal cities where Democrats are in control and Democrat judges are letting criminals out of jail with no bond and they're letting them out letting them go free and so but they want to imprison and use law force to put law bodies citizens in jail and so like we saw in January 6th and we had a show on that a few a few months ago so it is so important that we do not allow those folks to be in charge and so it is but we're going to fight back and we're going to fight back hard
