When people have talked about the shadowy figure who is funding some of the riots going on in the country, it s not a George Soros plot. It s actually the presidential candidate for the United States, and he s a broad.
00:00:25.000We have a lot to be talking about We're going to get into, when people have talked about the shadowy figure, who is funding some of these riots going on in the country.
00:02:08.000If you don't get your hands on Piggy's glasses, the poor son of a bitch, you're gonna have to use some friction and stroke yourself a fire.
00:02:14.000Hey, Gerald Morgan, also known as a father now, is here.
00:05:07.000That's why we haven't been definitive in saying lockdowns don't work and not having a lockdown is a metric for the state being more successful.
00:05:14.000I haven't really made affirmative arguments on either side.
00:05:16.000I've just encouraged people to look at the data.
00:05:18.000But one thing we do know is that sending patients with the COVID through nursing homes is pretty bad.
00:05:46.000But all the time that we've been recently watching CNN and just kind of digesting media so that we can translate it for uh... the fans in the audience i'm not seeing a lot of injuries.
00:05:58.000He fired his lead medical person who said he was doing a terrible job and he was like terrible job, terrible job, do it on the street, bye, out of here.
00:06:23.000As soon as you were saying that, like, you know, nursing homes, CNN was saying, healthy people have died, and I'm like, yeah, like, ten, okay?
00:06:30.000Like, there's statistically, it's not ten, it's a statistically tiny number.
00:06:34.000Here's how you get people who say you deny science, by the way, with the coronavirus, here's what you do.
00:06:37.000It's a very, very easy, I usually don't, you know, a magician never reveals his tricks.
00:06:42.000You say, all right, well, listen, what percentage of the people who've died have been young and healthy without any other pre-existing conditions?
00:06:49.000And usually they eventually go out and they go, oh, well, it has happened.
00:06:52.000Look, there's 190,000 deaths, and there are people who are young and healthy.
00:08:12.000Let's go to the clip of Biden as well as Harris.
00:08:15.000This president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country.
00:08:20.000He can't stop the violence because for years he's fomented it.
00:08:25.000You know, he may believe mouthing the words law and order makes him strong, but his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows how weak he is.
00:08:40.000Does anyone believe there'll be less violence in America?
00:09:20.000that you will uh do you honestly believe that uh you'll be uh safer if uh donald donald
00:09:25.000trump is re-elected yes absolutely do you think uh you really think i have dementia
00:09:29.000one hundred percent this is a bad line of questioning from me by the way the the question
00:09:34.000trumps he called out trumps armed militia yeah i know i mean come on
00:09:39.000Do me a favor Joe Biden, show me the effing body count from them and let's compare that.
00:09:43.000We have over 700 million dollars in property damage, really probably approaching a billion.
00:09:47.000We have a thousand officers seriously injured and ironically we actually have one more person killed, 19, officially killed by protesters than all unarmed black men last year.
00:10:36.000Well, you compare all of that to, really, all you have in the moment is Kyle Rittenhouse, who killed violent felons and known child sex offenders who were hitting him in the head with a skateboard and also had a gun and were aiming at his head.
00:10:47.000So that's really the comparison right now.
00:10:49.000And if you go to Young Turks or CNN, they talk about Kyle Rittenhouse gunning down his victims.
00:15:26.000By the way, what they're talking about is Donald Trump made the quote, he made the statement that there are people in the shadows, I'll tell you some other day, there are people in the shadows pulling the strings.
00:15:35.000And this is one thing that Donald Trump shoots from the hip.
00:17:03.000They paid Minnesota Freedom Fund $350,000 to free Christopher Boswell, twice convicted rapist, who currently is charged with assault, kidnapping, and sexual assault in two separate cases.
00:17:15.000They paid $75,000, let's get a ha ha, for Jaleel Stallings.
00:17:45.000Even though the Minnesota Freedom Fund was not directly involved, the catch-and-release approach is exactly what led to the Portland shooter being free.
00:17:52.000He'd already been arrested for bringing in a loaded gun to earlier protests, and then he was released.
00:17:56.000without being tried at all. So when we say fomenting violence because Donald Trump,
00:18:02.000and this is what they try and corner him and say, well, why won't you call it the Kenosha shooter?
00:18:05.000Because it's under investigation. And by the way, it's also very different. Let's just say
00:18:08.000you really, really hate conservatives. You really hate Republicans and you really hate Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:18:13.000Let's say that Kyle Rittenhouse is a little prick, right?
00:18:17.000It is very, very different when you have people who are armed with Molotov cocktails, with guns, who are burning down businesses or assaulting unarmed people, and at the very least, Kyle Rittenhouse shooting people who were armed.
00:18:30.000When people say, why did you need a gun?
00:19:17.000Look, when there are multiple people with the kind of background where you can talk
00:19:20.000about, look at their convicted crimes.
00:19:22.000When you inform officers or people who are being involved, why isn't there a denouncing that comes out for the people who are causing this kind of violence?
00:19:29.000And the fact that Biden and his staff are out there, yeah, I understand.
00:19:34.000Look, there's certain places, counties, cities, states, where the bail program is terrible.
00:19:39.000But there's also a reason why we have a program that says you've got to lock up violent people so they don't go back out and shoot people in Portland.
00:22:51.000The only time they reference it, every day if you go and look, the only time they're referencing it is so that they can go, this was Trump, Trump lit this building on fire, metaphorically.
00:23:01.000Biden calls out these Trump-armed militias, and yet when he was asked to... Remember the whole polling that came out, and you've got to get these riots under control, and he said, I condemn violence of every kind?
00:23:10.000He bent over backwards not to mention rioters, and Antifa, and Black Lives Matter, and people that are actually rioting and looting!
00:23:17.000You didn't mention them, but you're like, of all kinds.
00:24:05.000If you haven't watched it with Laura Ingraham yesterday, I don't know if you guys watched the full interview where he's talking about, he goes, listen, the Green New Deal, okay, would take a hundred trillion dollars.
00:24:13.000And if you read the Green New Deal, it's, it's from the mind of a child.
00:24:35.000In the NBA, he's that guy that's like jawing at you the entire game and in the fourth quarter you just lose your mind, which is happening to Biden and Kamala Harris right now.
00:24:42.000Some people think that it belittles the office.
00:25:13.000Keep us safe, protect us, and then give us free stuff, give us free stuff, but we had to spend a lot of money on making sure that you're not all speaking German wearing funny patches.
00:27:27.000And it didn't bother me, but I can understand that if I were a woman and if it were a much bigger, stronger man, but he would just be like, oh, you're cute.
00:27:35.000I'm going to clean up your cute little buns.
00:27:38.000Like, oh yeah, those jeans, you know, you should think about wearing lower rise jeans.
00:27:41.000He would talk about my, like I was a piece of, what's his name, Scudo?
00:29:04.000Where I have not changed my mind, the arguments still stand in that electric cars are not better for the environment than buying a used car.
00:29:19.000And if you go and you look at these lithium ion batteries, depending which ones they are, mining for these very difficult to put together minerals, And they basically sit in the earth for a very long time.
00:29:29.000Right now, it is... And by the way, electricity comes from somewhere.
00:31:13.000I am against subsidies, and Tesla has received a lot of subsidies.
00:31:15.000But, let me be really clear here, because when I had to reflect upon all of this, right, Tesla is basically an American-based car manufacturer.
00:31:22.000We have to compare them to the marketplace.
00:31:24.000Now, Tesla has received directly $0.4 billion in subsidies.
00:31:31.000They did pay it all back early with interest.
00:31:34.000So now if we compare that to the big three, GM, Chrysler, Ford, they received just in 2008, and that's not the first bailout, $80 billion alone.
00:31:44.000And the taxpayers are still on the hook for $9 billion of those dollars.
00:31:52.000And I do think this is important because the bailout was given to the big three American car companies when they were losing market share because they had mismanaged their businesses, they had these crazy union pensions, whereas Tesla received these subsidies while they were creating a new market and expanding their market share.
00:32:07.000So there is a difference with a new technology, right, and a government saying, okay, this might be beneficial in the long term if it's if it's a loan that is paid back, which it had been, and is
00:32:14.000creating new markets because that will actually create new jobs.
00:32:18.000That loan allowed Tesla to employ more Americans, whereas the bailout to GM, $9 billion of which
00:32:24.000still we're on the hook for, thanks Barack Obama, actually just maintains employment
00:32:28.000and retiree benefits for people who don't do any work.
00:32:31.000Yeah, really, really, really bad union contracts.
00:32:34.000I think it's also important, you know, listen, this is the result of too big to fail.
00:32:38.000Now, in a perfect world, no car companies would be receiving bailouts.
00:32:40.000No car companies would be receiving loans.
00:32:42.000But it's really hard to create a car company in the 21st century when they're receiving 80, it's just like you can't create a new airline, right?
00:32:50.000They're receiving hundreds of millions and billions of dollars over time because the government says, well, they're too big to fail, just like the banks.
00:32:57.000Well, what should really happen is the bank should fail and then local state banks should become national banks, right?
00:33:02.000Local credit They should be able to do a little bit better.
00:34:39.000There are European car brands that are also relying on other third world countries to provide, or rural areas like in China, to provide the vehicles and provide the technology and provide the other things that are giving them an advantage against American businesses.
00:34:52.000So when it comes to trying to create a nascent car industry, I can see the idea about why we would want to make sure we can foster that in the U.S.
00:35:00.000Yeah, but the point is you didn't need to because Tesla was there all along and it could have been occurring at ludicrous speed, a little inside joke there, where they could have advanced, but it's really hard for them to compete and grab a market share.
00:35:09.000Here's another point that I want to get to, but I do agree with your argument there, and I do think it's something that needs to be examined.
00:35:14.000Tesla, now people will argue that they've been more subsidized in the form of a $7,500 tax credit, and that is true, where for electric vehicles, basically you get a $7,500 tax credit, and that's basically effectively a subsidy, but it's different because it's not just a one-time, like $80 billion bailout.
00:35:56.000It's just the same level of competition field, only it's worse than that because Tesla has actually generated electric vehicles, and this is really what it comes down to, that people want to buy, as opposed to whatever it is, the Volt, the Bolt.
00:36:21.000Tesla doesn't get any more, because once they sell 200,000 electronic vehicles, that credit goes away.
00:36:27.000So because Tesla has been successful, despite paying back the loan with interest, and GM, Ford, Chrysler have not fully paid back the loan, they've sold 200,000 units, and now they no longer get that subsidy from the government, that tax credit, but GM, because they've been making Yeah.
00:36:41.000shitty electric cars that nobody wants still get that same tax credit so they're still
00:36:45.000to this day receiving more subsidization from the federal government.
00:36:53.000I'm totally against supporting and propping up businesses.
00:36:56.000that don't deserve it in the first place. However, you do have to live in the real world and understand,
00:37:00.000ultimately, since we have given these ballots, is it better or worse for American consumers and
00:37:05.000for people who are working in the American manufacturing sector to have another company
00:37:09.000who can compete and pay back these loans with interest and do it on a buy-as-you-go?
00:37:14.000So that is one thing that I actually will tell you has changed my mind on the Tesla.
00:37:19.000But you know the main reason that you don't mind my Tesla?
00:37:21.000On the Teslas, and I've ridden Tim's Tesla here from HR, my wife actually got, you know, the GBS, and so it was really hard, it's hard for her to drive right now, and so I was looking for this sort of autopilot features, and I was looking at Ford, and I was looking at the Korean cars, and then I had to look higher scale, where they said actually the auto driving is really much better on BMW and Mercedes, and then someone said, have you really just looked into a Tesla?
00:37:56.000Drove the Prius, but I know it was not fully electric, but it was like driving a shopping cart, even with that one-fourth wheel that goes... And you're like, what the hell?
00:38:13.000But even more than that, what convinced me, and I want to know where you line up here on Teslas, if this has maybe changed your mind a little bit or provided some context, was not only did I drive them, but when the Hodge twins were here for a week, I drove with them.
00:45:09.000I don't know if all of you have two biracial hilarious comedians at the ready, but it helps.
00:45:16.000I want to know what you think with the Tesla electric cars in general.
00:45:20.000Has any of this changed your opinion when you put it in context of subsidization and the fact that Elon Musk has created some really pretty cool cars?
00:46:24.000Alright, well listen, hey, we're gonna go to the polls with some surprising numbers that have come out recently, particularly from I know Rasmuson people say, oh Rasmuson, well they still had Clinton winning the last election and now Emerson College has a new poll.
00:46:36.000We're going to be talking about that exclusively and taking your chat at louderwithcreditor.com slash MugClub live on the blaze right now.
