1. Will someone with stronger stomach than mine watch & tell me wtf (what drug) this crazed man

is talking about? thank you

[Irish_Dem]

2. I cannot do it. I just cannot gd do it.

Sorry.

[EarthAbides]

3. Whatever he is talking about

you can bet it is a lie...

[questionseverything]

12. He doesn't say which drug

[Maru Kitteh]

14. He's not talking about any one drug, and he's too stupid AND demented to consider

the fact that a dead person does not have any circulation so therefore you can’t “start” them on any drug because drugs don’t mean anything at all when they are simply injected or shoved into the orifice of some decaying mass of organic material, aka, a dead body.

[regnaD kciN]

60. It's the Anti-Turned-Into-Newt Serum...

…something completely different.

[walkingman]

4. I want some for my emergency go bag....☮

[FalloutShelter]

5. I'm not going to listen, but here's my guess.

A dying man thinks that he will be resurrected by a drug infusion.

[NBachers]

6. Let's see you volunteer

[area51]

7. WTF?

[LudwigPastorius]

8. "They test all these things...they use animals...all over the place..."

Well, he certainly seems to have a firm grasp on the science.

[tanyev]

24. He's a genius, you know. His uncle taught at MIT, you know.

[eShirl]

9. They were dead like we won the war with Iraq.

[Torchlight]

10. This is what kooky sounds like

The rest is simply dismissal of anything he says as truthful to any meaningful degree.

[Blue Owl]

11. Whatever, pedophile

[RockRaven]

13. And the drug name? Medbeds. IYKYK.

[sop]

15. Trump's Magic Elixir...only $79.99 a bottle...but wait, there's more...if you order now, the second bottle's half off!

[ananda]

25. Will this be a pitch from Trump Pharmaceutical?

???

[Deuxcents]

58. Ya know..you may just have hit on something we're overlooking

[Ray Bruns]

33. There is no way Trump would offer "half off."

Second bottle would be 1.5X the price of the first.

[COL Mustard]

38. And if you order in the next five minutes

You get a golden cell phone and a small extra charge!

Grifters gotta grift.

[3Hotdogs]

42. Yeah, and you silly tossers laughed at the picture of him in the O.R., a few weeks ago.

He knew what he was doing.

[MustLoveBeagles]

16. What!?

[bucolic_frolic]

17. Doctors and M$M are complicit by characterizing overdoses as dead people

If they were dead, they'd be dead. Vital signs shutting down is not the same as shut down.

I think he means naloxone.

[Maru Kitteh]

26. He was babbling about "right to try" something he signed in 2018.

The program has had very little uptake, and hasn’t helped many people at all - although we can be fairly certain it’s harmed quite a few.

[muriel_volestrangler]

59. Yes, as you also said, it's not about a specific drug, just "things that were tried"

and his claim that "we have saved thousands of lives" is unverifiable, and almost certainly bullshit.

A transcript here, if people don't want to listen to the usual word salad. Search for "last rites":

[purr-rat beauty]

18. This has gone on...

...for too long

We do NOT deserve to be led by a bedbug

[2MuchNoise]

49. A bedbug! That made me laugh. It's perfect.

[Vinca]

19. Surely, he's mistaken. Didn't he mean he laid hands on them and they miraculously came back to life?

[Ray Bruns]

35. He's not mistaken. And stop calling me Shirley.

[AZ8theist]

46. Agreed!

[sinkingfeeling]

20. RW: "See, he really is Jesus".

[COL Mustard]

39. If he really is,

I’m doomed.

Amazing how so many people actually think that he is Jesus.

[AZ8theist]

47. And if those morons knew anything, they'd realize he more closely fits the profile of the Anti Christ

[sop]

54. Jesus with a medical degree.

[haele]

21. Comatose, non-responsive, or otherwise shutting down is not dead

Dead means not revivable. Not a "body stopped working" situation or able to be brought back to at least a basic functionality through some sort of medical stimulation (like an epi-pen or CPR), supplemental function (like a life support machine) or removal of whatever was hindering a basic required function (like a heimlich maneuver).

Dead is when cell structures in organs start to decay. Blood is no longer able to circulate. Brain has been too long without oxygen.
That's what Dead is.

[2MuchNoise]

51. So, trump from the neck up?

[Marie Marie]

22. Oh give the guy a break. He just woke up from his nap and he is a little

groggy and discombobulated. Oh and, he is completely nuts.

[COL Mustard]

40. How come nobody is ever

Combobulated? Or gruntled?

I’m just asking questions here.

[Marie Marie]

63. Good question but I have no answers. Oh no, am I as discombobulated as Trump was?

[rurallib]

23. any idea what he selling? his own snake oil or is he claiming

he can raise people from the dead or what?

[johnnyfins]

28. Nah. He'll bring in Paula White for that stuff

[wnylib]

27. Talking through his ass as usual.

People can be revived via CPR or a defibrillator when their heart or breathing stops. They are clinucally,"dead," but if treatment is started soon enough, they will live.

But a drug reviving a dead person? No. He was trying to sound like he knew about a.miracle drug, but did not comprehend what he was trying to show off about. An unconscious person with such weak, declining vital signs that they were near death might improve enough to recover, but not a dead person.

As for the Last Rites claim, I am not Catholic, but I think that a priest is called while a person is dying and he will administer the sacrament even to an unconscious, dying person. So the presence of a priest does not not mean the person is dead.

He takes a germ of truth and fabricates a story around it. Reality is not his forte.

[Aviation Pro]

29. When is one of the fucking stenographers

Going to have the intestinal fortitude to loudly and firmly ask the child raping bag ‘o fuck what the fuck he’s talking about?

[walkingman]

30. Makes you proud to be an American....aren't we GREAT!! ☮

[johnnyfins]

31. "We've"

Yeah, ok. Dr. Jesus is in the house. He is such a healer. Don't forget to drink your bleach. It'll be like a cleansing...

[DBoon]

32. He stole this from HP Lovevcraft

[Mad_Machine76]

50. Beat me to it LOL!

[Demnation]

34. "It works!" is what they say about Scientology, fad diets, and miracle ab machines.

[twodogsbarking]

36. I remember that story..................

Lazarus of Bethany is a prominent New Testament figure, known as a close friend of Jesus whom Jesus raised from the dead four days after his burial, a miracle symbolizing power over death. He is often referred to as "the Four-Days Dead" and is venerated in Christian tradition, with accounts describing him later becoming a bishop

[ChicagoTeamster]

37. Did he take some of Joe Rogaine's magic mushroom powder?

[EYESORE 9001]

43. I'm going out on a limb here

but I don’t believe any mushroom can induce this degree of psychosis. Even the poisonous ones.

[ChicagoTeamster]

62. Oh, right. Must be the Novachuk from Vlad. Looks like the McDonalds diet didn't save him from the GRU.

[TheRickles]

41. According to Google AI, he was talking about 7-OH, a derivative of kratom.

And so maybe he's referring to the Iran peace proposal that's "on life support" (per Dr. Trump), and has just now responded to a dose of kratom. (I don't even know what sort of emoji would go here....)

[muriel_volestrangler]

48. God, I hope not. The first 2 articles on 7-OH I found both compare it to oxycontin

Life-destroying addiction can start at a corner store
A patient, his doctor and other experts warn of dangers of 7-OH, which is touted as a derivative of kratom and is widely available, but packs far more opioid danger
...
Fortunately for Nathan, he found his way to the addiction care program at Packard Health run by Eliza Hutchinson, M.D., a University of Michigan family medicine physician with special training in addiction medicine.

Hutchinson prescribed Nathan the same FDA-approved medication that she prescribes to people who have been diagnosed with addiction to heroin, fentanyl, oxycontin and other opioids.

https://www.michiganmedicine.org/health-lab/life-destroying-addiction-can-start-corner-store

What Is 7-OH? The Emerging Opioid Threat Addiction Professionals Need to Understand in 2026

...
Dr. Christopher McCurdy, a professor of medicinal chemistry at the University of Florida College of Pharmacy, has compared the marketing of concentrated 7-OH products to the early promotion of OxyContin in the 1990s. His laboratory research on rodents has demonstrated that 7-OH is as highly addictive as prescription opioids, and that its respiratory depressive effects and abuse potential can be reversed with naloxone (Narcan) — a hallmark characteristic of opioid agonism.

[VanceFan]

44. He's hoping

He is hoping it will resurrect his fat ass when he croaks (soon I hope).

[MoseShrute]

45. Gotta be ivermectin

[Mad_Machine76]

53. Or hydrochloroquine?

Or just plain old injecting bleach or shining lights up your butt?

[flashman13]

52. He's talking about dosing the Zombie, AKA RFK, with meth.

[Trueblue Texan]

55. We had to put my dog down last week...

I wonder if that drug would help him...A little Pet Cemetery drug, eh?

[Lovie777]

56. The walking dead.......................

[2MuchNoise]

57. The comments in this thread have me laughing my ass off.

[retread]

61. Here they are leaving after "treatment".
