Cramer added that the company's business is what is "working now during this administration," while recommending the stock.

Cramer believes owning **MannKind Corp** (NASDAQ:MNKD) is a "total speculation."

“While you have one speculation, you need other stocks that are "a little bit more earnings oriented," he added. "This would fit as that speculation, so I bless it for that purpose only."

Regarding **Occidental Petroleum Corp** (NYSE:OXY), Cramer warned that the stock would “go down a lot” if the war ends.
