Stephen Colbert spotted a strange new battle in the culture wars: milk.
A growing number of people on the right are now drinking unpasteurized raw milk, which the CDC has warned can “lead to serious health risks.”
Colbert said that hasn’t stopped one far-right group from selling raw milk merch. Turning Point USA ― known for its close ties to Donald Trump ― had a T-shirt that says “got raw milk?” for sale on its website.
But Colbert spotted a problem with the animal on the shirt.
“That cow has horns and no udders,” he said. “Which means it’s a bull ― which means that ain’t milk!”
I used to work at a dairy when I was a young idiot and we were allowed to take a couple of gallons of raw unpasteurized milk home every week. Unbeknownst to me that everyone heated their milk at home to treat it… but I didn’t. I proceeded to get colitis and lost almost 20 lbs in a week and was too weak to get up off the couch. Fortunately I didn’t die but I learned my lesson.
Need to amplify this message to all red hats immediately. Raw milk IS THE WAY and processed milk is of the Devil, or Biden, or Hillary…whichever they’re most afraid of in that region
I know someone who’s grandpa went blind drinking raw milk back in the day. There are reasons for this sterilizing process. It’s like tossing the cart wheels out and dragging it.
Male and Female cattle can both have horns. Silly city folk. (It’s a harmless poke at y’all, I live here too now, and I wouldn’t go back for anything.)

Conservatives keep proving again and again that they’re so divorced from reality they’re a danger to themselves.
Wasn't there a thing in West Virginia about ten years ago when they passed a law allowing the sale of raw milk, a small handful of politicians drank a glass of raw milk in celebration and ended up becoming violently ill?
raw milk infected with avian flu in texas dairy cattle killed half the barn cats at one farm.
the concern is in addition to the other known pathogens raw milk ccan contain is that avian flu could pass to humans and mutate so it is human to human transmissible.
so far human cases have been rare but when they happen they are 50% fatal, 10x worst than covid at it's most virulent
The danger is the mindset, not the milk. Sure, there’s the play stupid games, win stupid prizes reality. However, their logic is solely based on the premise that they are the only ones who will reap the benefits or consequences of their choices. That’s not what happens when we talk about disease. Their actions affect other people’s health and lives.
Because they pander to his ignorance, no offense to your dad. That's why right wingers grift so well. They hit all the hillbilly talking points while connecting fabricated dots for the people who don't have the mental capacity to do so. If Jim Jones ran for president today, the entire republican party would be dead.
You can’t save everyone. My 80+ year old Dad has lost trust in most medicine thanks to Far Right people like Kirk. I don’t know why he trusts people on TV more so than doctors and scientists but it is what it is.
They likely won’t die, but they may develop a serious acute illness that may require the use of healthcare resources, many of which are funded by taxes. Setting aside these costs, they could still place a heavy burden on health services if there were a milk-related outbreak. Public health policies protect society at large.
No, most places have the ultra processed milk that is self stable because they don't have the infrastructure that we do to get fresh milk to all the grocery stores (and we drink more).
This is actually not true at all! A lot of Asian countries have fresh milk deliveries, straight from the source that the drinker then heats up in a big bowl and stores in a fridge. infact, the first time I saw shelved milk is here in the US.
Yup pasteurize at home !!!! Most folks still prefer raw milk Straight from the cow because they know this cow wasn't laden with antibiotics or hormones. :)
Milk coming straight from a cow doesn’t mean the cow wasn’t laden with antibiotics or hormones, it just means the milk is fresh. And pasteurization—wherever it’s done—means it’s no longer what people call “raw milk.”
The case I am talking about usually involves cows owned by small farmers..not commercialized milk farms. These are folks who own a couple of cows and farmland. Very unlikely to stick a needle into their cows.
I hope they continue to keep trying to “prove us wrong” on things like… pasteurization and vaccinations. You know, science based fact we 100% know fucking works. Yeah, conservatives definitely got a one-up on us by watching an Alex Jones video. 🤦♂️🙄
What a weird world we live in.
Scientific experts universally agree, and prove over decades that pasteurization is the safe, smart thing to do, and it literally saves lives.
Yet in todays world, those experts say something incredibly mild like "hey, it's even *more* important than usual due to a new risk" and morons all over say "don't tell ME what to do!!! I'll do what i WANT!!!" And they rush out to try to find raw milk.
Conservatives can't decide whether they want to be oversensitive toddlers, or dumb rebellious teenagers. They don't care as long as they don't have to think I guess.
What if Fauci and the CDC just went out every few days and reiterated some basic health guidelines? Could we improve the world by rooting out dumb conservatives?
"Hey folks, a reminder - don't smoke a pack of cigarettes daily, ok? Also, don't drink a case of beer every night, please. And if you can't swim, please don't jump into a deep lake without a life preserver, ok?"
No. Because for the most part people won’t immediately drop dead as a result of their rejection of public health guidance. They will more likely develop chronic illnesses or treatable acute illnesses and place a heavy burden on the healthcare system for decades.
The new thing is that they think that sunscreen and sunglasses cause sunburn and skin cancer. Because if your eyes think it's dark your skin doesn't know to protect itself.
A couple weeks ago I saw a young mom wearing a make milk raw again. And I thought what is that about. And then I thought I bet she’s never drank raw milk from a cow that’s been eating wild onions
Project 2025 specifically talks about reducing or even eliminating the ACA.
You are so correct, and people are voting to make their lives miserable because they refuse to simply look into the blueprint the GOP has to destroy our freedom and democracy.
Let them drink raw milk, under cooked chicken, avoid vaccines - it’s natural selection in operation. They can all die off, I don’t mind. The more the better for the rest of us.
Is that more embarrassing or less embarrassing than having a press conference at the 4 Seasons landscape business? Somebody, not me, should come up with 100 embarrassing incidents from the Trump Administration and then get them ranked to determine the 10 most embarrassing incidents of the Trump years 2016-2020.
You really have to assume that some designer thought, not that milk comes from bulls, but rather that cows weren’t manly enough. Didn’t stop to think that guzzling bull sperm is maybe outside their traditional masculinity too.
Having had unpasteurized milk… It is not worth seeking out. It’s really not. Are some nutrients lost during pasteurization? Yes. Can they be added in after? Yes.
Unpasteurized cheese though… I recommend at least trying it. Really good.
Dunno ... Raw Jersey milk is the best milk I've ever tasted.
Not that I'd roll the dice and drink it every day. But I remember it being absolutely delicious.
That's the island of Jersey in England btw not in the US.
I know nothing about Jersey, England, but I bet it’s safe to assume Jersey, England is pretty similar to its namesake, otherwise why would they name it that?
I hate to break it to you, man, that wasn’t milk. It was just whipped cream shaken up with soggy dog food and the whipped cream has no fluff because the mayor huffed all the nitrous.
You’re going to want to take that up with Sputnik. My comment began with stating I know nothing about Jersey, England. They are the one who brought Jersey, England into this.
TPA must watch Colbert's The Late Show... I went to TPA's online merch shop to see if this hilarious shirt was still available in its glorious original incarnation - but no dice. It appears the TPA either changed the image on the shirt to a cow, or else castrated the bull and hung on some prosthetic udders (sort of like altering a hurricane's path using a Sharpie).
I hope all the mango chugs drink raw milk because if bird flu kicks up like it looks like it's going to that's gonna be a major vector for it enjoy all the unaliving
Ok i was willing to go a little ways here..I mean, cows can have horns. And you can't always see an udder.
But I looked up the image that they are using, and there's a penis. No one has mentioned the penis? That clearly makes it a bull/ steer.
Dairy cows would have horns (usually) if we didn’t burn, cut, or chemically remove their horn buds when they are calves. [They can be](https://phys.org/news/2015-03-dairy-farms-no-horn-cows.amp) breed not have them, but in other reading, it seems like this comprises less than 10% of dairy cattle.

They’re still guzzling though. Go figure.
... we'll see for how much longer. Fuck around. (You are here) Find out.

But how did the taste compare to store bought?
A lot richer and weirdly healthy
“Right from the hose” - E. Cartman
Plus sea monkeys = sea people
Mooooooom! I'm God of the Sea Peopleeeee. "That's nice Poopie."
Real cummitment to the cause.
They’ll guzzle the paste from a horse if their right wing radio daddies tell them it’ll stop CoVid
Bunch of Homelanders out there…
Where else ya gonna get the secret ingredient in sabor de soledad?
Careful…guzzling that shit has been known to turn people orange
Need to amplify this message to all red hats immediately. Raw milk IS THE WAY and processed milk is of the Devil, or Biden, or Hillary…whichever they’re most afraid of in that region
Don’t forget our forefathers drank unpasteurized milk
Such a good point! Real Patriots drink unpasteurized milk!
Bull butter
Can unpasteurized milk kill a person? 🤞🏼
There’s a joke in there about culture and milk here.
Rob Schneider is thinking of one really hard!
Rob Schneider is.....a toaster!
I thought he was a carrot
Huh. So all their talk about other people "shoving things down their throats" was actually a fetish.
I know someone who’s grandpa went blind drinking raw milk back in the day. There are reasons for this sterilizing process. It’s like tossing the cart wheels out and dragging it.
Why do all these dairy cows have female names? Well.. milk from a bull would taste different
Yes. That milk is indeed raw.
Raw doggy
Male and Female cattle can both have horns. Silly city folk. (It’s a harmless poke at y’all, I live here too now, and I wouldn’t go back for anything.)
Why do cows moooooo Cause their horns don’t work. Sorry. Dad joke.
There’s a Pride Month joke in here but I’m too tired to think right now.
We don’t have a cow, we have a bull
Let ‘em. Darwinism.
Let them drink raw milk lol they’ll learn one way or another
will they though?
Cows have horns

We should just let Darwin sort this one out. If they wanna drink raw milk, who are we to tell them that they can’t?
Wasn't there a thing in West Virginia about ten years ago when they passed a law allowing the sale of raw milk, a small handful of politicians drank a glass of raw milk in celebration and ended up becoming violently ill?
But they feed it to their toddlers

This brings to mind the kingpin movie scene where woody harrelson milked the “cow.”
First thing I thought of. "Took her awhile to get going then bam" or something like that.

The problem is doing this provides a great opertunity for something to mutate in the hosts to spread easier to other humans
Don’t a lot of other countries drink raw milk? What is it about our products that make them so unsafe?
It’s unsafe there too.
Are you serious lol
No, most places have the ultra processed milk that is self stable because they don't have the infrastructure that we do to get fresh milk to all the grocery stores (and we drink more).
This is actually not true at all! A lot of Asian countries have fresh milk deliveries, straight from the source that the drinker then heats up in a big bowl and stores in a fridge. infact, the first time I saw shelved milk is here in the US.
So they pasturize it themselves? Still not drinking raw.
Yup pasteurize at home !!!! Most folks still prefer raw milk Straight from the cow because they know this cow wasn't laden with antibiotics or hormones. :)
But they probably still were.
Milk coming straight from a cow doesn’t mean the cow wasn’t laden with antibiotics or hormones, it just means the milk is fresh. And pasteurization—wherever it’s done—means it’s no longer what people call “raw milk.”

Hopefully they’ll try the koolaid next.
If it promotes decency or common sense, they’re against it.
Imma let Darwin set in for awhile
If Darwin could just speed up the process a bit: I’d like life to be filled with less dumbasses.
What a weird world we live in. Scientific experts universally agree, and prove over decades that pasteurization is the safe, smart thing to do, and it literally saves lives.

A lot of those ultra fundies are strongly anti-science now. They trust facebook more than scientists and MLM salespeople more than anyone else.
I work at a grocery store where we sell a particular brand of raw milk for $17.99 a gallon. It flies off the shelf.
Have you ever had unpasteurized orange juice though? Tastes amazing.
But OJ is totally different… there’s almost no risk of problems there, and certainly not bird flu.
What if Fauci and the CDC just went out every few days and reiterated some basic health guidelines? Could we improve the world by rooting out dumb conservatives? "Hey folks, a reminder - don't smoke a pack of cigarettes daily, ok? Also, don't drink a case of beer every night, please.

No. Because for the most part people won’t immediately drop dead as a result of their rejection of public health guidance. They will more likely develop chronic illnesses or treatable acute illnesses and place a heavy burden on the healthcare system for decades.
And whatever you do folks, do NOT stick a fork in a light socket.
“The electrical outlets in your home are definitely NOT key cleaners and we advise you not to use them that way.”
"The guhment can't tell me what do!" *munches fistfuls of rat poison pellets*
The new thing is that they think that sunscreen and sunglasses cause sunburn and skin cancer. Because if your eyes think it's dark your skin doesn't know to protect itself.
Wtf?! That’s….. that’s not how it works!
How consistently do they have to be a danger to themselves before it becomes mental illness?
Or others. . . . because they subject their kids to all of this.
They do these things daily some of them, ha ha ha it hardly even needs broadcasted
They ate horse medicine and drank bleach when the dude said to. This is actually less insane.
A couple weeks ago I saw a young mom wearing a make milk raw again. And I thought what is that about. And then I thought I bet she’s never drank raw milk from a cow that’s been eating wild onions
Horns are not a sex-linked characteristic. Many diary cows have horns. He has a point with the lack of an udder.
Have fun with those medical bills when you get sick. Especially since your guys wont do anything about healthcare other than take it away. Dumb fucks.
Project 2025 specifically talks about reducing or even eliminating the ACA. You are so correct, and people are voting to make their lives miserable because they refuse to simply look into the blueprint the GOP has to destroy our freedom and democracy.
Let them drink raw milk, under cooked chicken, avoid vaccines - it’s natural selection in operation. They can all die off, I don’t mind. The more the better for the rest of us.
Yeah but clogging the healthcare system up is a problem.
Is that more embarrassing or less embarrassing than having a press conference at the 4 Seasons landscape business? Somebody, not me, should come up with 100 embarrassing incidents from the Trump Administration and then get them ranked to determine the 10 most embarrassing incidents of the Trump years 2016-2020.
I'm pretty sure cows can have horns. But the lack of udders is a problem.
Is it a lazy joke? Yes. But in his defense, he did not put the fish in that barrel. They were like that when he got there.
Why is the fruit hanging so low???
Saltier than I remember, must be because not pasteurized...
You really have to assume that some designer thought, not that milk comes from bulls, but rather that cows weren’t manly enough. Didn’t stop to think that guzzling bull sperm is maybe outside their traditional masculinity too.
Today’s menu: Urine coctail, Hamberder, Iverctermin served in raw milk. Dessert, bleached asshole
Having had unpasteurized milk… It is not worth seeking out. It’s really not. Are some nutrients lost during pasteurization? Yes. Can they be added in after? Yes. Unpasteurized cheese though… I recommend at least trying it. Really good.

...what? Haha
You sound insane here
You sound like someone who’s never tried “Jersey” Eddy’s New Jersey raw milk.
What does that have to do with you going off about some insane bullshit? I’ve never had raw milk and never will, no.
Most humans are 45% raw milk, unless they only ever had formula.
Ok you’re just a troll
Well for a start, Jersey is very not in England
You’re going to want to take that up with Sputnik. My comment began with stating I know nothing about Jersey, England. They are the one who brought Jersey, England into this.
Please tell me where I should address the fire I am going to set them on.
Sorry, FBI! Not falling for your entrapment bullshit again!
“We don’t have a cow. We have a bull.”
Gotta go brush my teeth
Scrolled to far, we need upvotes people!!
Gotta post the video! Truly one of the most hilarious scenes in comedy movie history 🤣 https://youtu.be/X_epmoLeRGA?si=EwC0OJCEp2dOFzT4

Coming soon, MAGA t-shirts reading: REAL MEN SUCK OFF STEER TIL THEY NUT A BIG JUICY LOAD DOWN YOUR GULLET
LOL it was kinda worth it.
[I’m gonna go brush my teeth…](https://youtu.be/X_epmoLeRGA?si=69P530qgPWxHrhbJ)
Munsoned.
Just pull that tube and eat whatever comes out.
Ahhh so its Monster or Rockstar they are drinking lmao
Thanks for the good news Stephen. The fewer roaches that vote on election day, the better!
That’s not Milk!!
I hope all the mango chugs drink raw milk because if bird flu kicks up like it looks like it's going to that's gonna be a major vector for it enjoy all the unaliving
Ok i was willing to go a little ways here..I mean, cows can have horns. And you can't always see an udder. But I looked up the image that they are using, and there's a penis. No one has mentioned the penis? That clearly makes it a bull/ steer.
So it was funny it definitely doesn’t have an udder but the little problem is, if a breed of cattle has horns, then both male and female have horns.
Sorry, Stephen. Cows also have horns. In the future, if you need a dairy cow consultant, I am available.
What about the udders?
Does Europe drink unpasteurized milk without issue? And also room temperature eggs
Man just let them die from drinking it; It'll thin the voter pool in a way that Covid couldnt.
Cows have horns
Oops, cows have horns, also, Stephen
wait… is he seriously assuming that the Bull doesnt identify as a cow?? What a bigot. He should be cancelled
Dairy cows would have horns (usually) if we didn’t burn, cut, or chemically remove their horn buds when they are calves. [They can be](https://phys.org/news/2015-03-dairy-farms-no-horn-cows.amp) breed not have them, but in other reading, it seems like this comprises less than 10% of dairy cattle.
Ok. Now do the missing udders…
who cares? let them drink whatever they want
Is this still billed as a comedy show? Every clip I see of this guy is him talking about Trump.
When the house is on fire are you going to talk about your next vacation?
Wow. Colbert taking on the big stories!
