Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) questions current and former Major League Baseball players on steroid use, including Jose Canseco, Curt Schilling, and Mark McGwire.
Who would have ever guessed in 2005 that out of Jose Canseco, Kurt Shilling, and Palmeiro that the only one not considered a lying piece of shit in 2015 is Canseco. I owe that man apologies, turns out he was one of the only ones that was representing himself and not some character.
It's hard to fully trust Curt Schilling's statement regarding red sox players not taking steroids during his tenure there. Unless I'm incorrect, Nomar Garciaparra, Trot Nixon, Manny ramirez and David Ortiz tested positive for PED the same time Schilling was playing for Boston.
That test that Ortiz tested positive in (and Nomar, Trot, and Manny were rumored to be on as well) was in 2003. Schilling didn't play for the Red Sox until 2004 when rules were instituted.
"You are role models and must show steroids are bad" (paraphrased from Bernie Sanders) by that logic why was chewing tobacco legal on the mound (and probably all other positions on the field) until 2016. People talk about Randy Johnson's 1989 Fleer card that had a Marlboro ad blacked out in the background, but he 1985 McGwire rookie had one in plain sight and it was never mentioned. As to steroids, the people that made the laws hadn't used steroids and banned them against the advice of the AMA to leave it to doctors to decide their use so they could monitor even cosmetic use. Ancient Olympians ate bull testicles for strength, Pud Galvin injected bull testicle extract, in the 60s players were on speed in baseball (a brand nicknamed greenies was popular, not to be confused with dog treats.) Other sports like golf, bodybuilding, football all quietly have steroid use. Lance Armstrong was treated worse by the media for steroid/EPO use than Oscar Pistorious was for killing his beautiful wife. If Bernie Sanders had used steroids, maybe he would have stood up to Hillary and called out crooked CA primary actions, or stood up to Biden and called out crooked primary actions as soon as Covid pushed primaries to mail-in.
I think they were using extreme examples of high school students who went absolutely overboard on steroids, and ended up committing suicide. Testosterone replacement therapy is very beneficial but I’m not a doctor so I don’t know the difference between that & “steroids”, but it seems weird to preach about the dangers of something that seemed to enhance athletic ability.

Can someone tell me why Congress got involved in this. Did they not have anything better to do than get involved in MLB’s problems. Seems like a deliberate attempt to waste time on minor issues to avoid having to take on the big ones.
Because they must and continue to try regulating and dictating every aspect of our lives, just remember every bill and law they introduce and pass they always, ALWAYS exempt themselves from
Because it was basically doping that MLB was allowing to happen for profit. There was a big anti-sports lobby led by Sanders and Arlen Specter, who as the senator for Pittsburgh and Philadelphia also tried to get Congress to investigate Spygate
Lol he proves that we DON’T need term limits as long as we have free and fair elections. He’s been even MORE effective since this testimony, and you will see his most effective years after Team Biden wins this election.
Those guys should have never even been there . It was ridiculous to have ever had that hearing . I bet half of the people in that room are probably worse health then the players are lol
Gotta respect Bernie, don’t care what side you are on, he been fighting the good fight since day one, steroids baseball hearing and he finds a second to pivot to health care and the rich getting richer.
hey bernie, we have social security, medicare, medicaid, obamcare, food stamps, chip, daca. how much is enough? pretty soon people will have no take home pay
And yet your party wants to raise spending on the military and on a useless border wall. Not to mention endless wars in the Middle East (Afghanistan, Iraq and now, Yemen).
Bernie, would have been tarred and feathered had he come over here with the original Founding Fathers. Or shot in a duel... did you know that he's worth 13 million, and accuses white Christians of all things evil... but neglects to mention that Jews also owned slaves and fought for the confederacy? ODD, RIGHT?
Cradle to the grave, that's what they want... The governor of NM just said yesterday in a speech about spending a bunch of money of early education, "from cradle to the career path" just short of the grave
@Kent Tinney lmao commie Bernie with his 3 or 4 homes. He doesn't work hard for the American people. He grandstands and pretends to work for the middle class. In reality he works for low lifes and targets the middle class
@Kent Tinney Look at California where bums shit in the streets, Chicago where murder rates are through the roof. Dems release violent criminals from prison while people are being arrested for leaving their homes by the gestapo. This is a direct result of LIBERAL government.
Every time I hear Bernie's voice, I think of a certain Cartoon show from "Back in the Day," 'The Ant & The Aardvark,' Bernie could be the voice of the Aardvark! So, what's worse, a Baseballer on Steroids, or a Commie who admits to being a Socialist, (Twins), that actually wants to turn America into a great big version of Cuba? I pick Bernie & all the other socialist rats that are popping up in our political class. BTW, as Fr. Altman's Sermon says; "You Can't be a Catholic and a Democrat at the Same time, Period." It's the core Values.
@@julieann4616 LMAO OMG Really! I wasn't offended by your comment. I was a making joke about how old you must be to remember a cartoon that I have never heard of. Geez.
Maybe it's because he never gets any help from the media. When he invited the press to sit in on people not having health insurance and children in poverty discussions that bought attention.
Bernie: Wants tax increases; is willing to pay more taxes. Well done Warrior, you have successfully earned the medal "Totally misunderstanding the definition of the word hypocrisy"
@@trevordunn3728 we are not talking about women's healthcare that affects her and her only, we are talking about a child, a child that has a brain, a heart, a father, a life ahead of them
Late term abortion is already illegal, basically prosecuted the same as infanticide, and would actually increase if early term abortion were made illegal again.
@@mikerope5785 no it's not illegal, at least not everywhere. Here in New Mexico you can have a third trimester abortion and we are not the only state that allows it. Check out Southwestern Women's website they describe the procedure in detail
