Chris Cuomo's mea cul-de-sac, the Portland Mayor's attempt to burn down his condo, and why he's a racist. Plus, the latest in the "Hard Strike" controversy, and more!
00:01:33.000And then Brian Stelter, we get to fact-check just because there's wrong, and there's fact-checking, and there's nuance, and there's just saying the exact opposite of what is true.
00:01:41.000And Stelter is the gift that keeps on giving.
00:02:57.000I feel like they just lowered me into a pool of electric water on Shutter Island, and I came out and everything is anew, and the sun is bright, and the birds are chirping, and Chris Cuomo's career is going to be done.
00:03:11.000I felt like you were going to lean in and go, do you know how I got this smile?
00:04:09.000He showed the video, and it's not even a real fight video, so YouTube officially confirmed with a statement saying, confirming that a member of the team reviewed the video in the decision stands, footage containing graphic content, fights, beating, etc.
00:04:21.000with intent to shock, it violates our community guidelines.
00:04:25.000Markiplier, a big YouTuber, said, Fair is fair.
00:04:58.000Now, channels have covered ad nauseum the George Floyd situation, where according to the medical report, no one was actually killed because of a knee on the neck.
00:05:05.000It was because someone overdosed and actually had a heart condition.
00:05:08.000So everyone has shown that video, but Like I've talked about yesterday, if someone is talking about an incident where there is clear videographic evidence, especially if there are multiple angles like you have with Kyle Rittenhouse and Kenosha, and they don't show you the video, they are likely lying.
00:05:25.000So when you have the Young Turks or you have CNN going out there and saying, well, Kyle Rittenhouse went out and gunned down his victims, that's a very different context, of course, than the victims bashing him in the head with a skateboard or running up on him.
00:05:57.000We use more leftist sources than anybody else.
00:06:00.000But what is YouTube going to do now for channels like this if we are showing actual video?
00:06:06.000And, blurring out, we don't show the actual deaths.
00:06:09.000But is that a violation if CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, if they all go out there saying, Kyle Rittenhouse gunned down a victim, and we go, no, no, no, hold on, wait, here's video, and then YouTube says, by the way, we're removing the video.
00:06:22.000Yeah, absolutely, and basically it's just a catch-all.
00:06:24.000Anything that we don't want out there, anything that doesn't fit into the narrative that we are supporting, we can just claim, oh, it's because of this policy that we have now and we're covered because we're taking it all down.
00:08:03.000However, YouTube, if they were to apply these community guidelines, it does seem selective because we would have violated them many, many, many, many, many times.
00:08:10.000Of course, we have the luxury of our communication with YouTube and all of our videos have been under thorough review.
00:08:14.000So at no point now could YouTube change their stance and say that any of our content has been a violation because we've talked to them about it and they've reviewed every single one unless they suck at their job.
00:08:22.000So they would have to retroactively change it, in which case every news channel could be banned.
00:08:56.000Speaking of facts, let's get to the facts of Chris Cuomo.
00:09:00.000Can't wait till we do our exhibition about for charity that he's been promoting.
00:09:05.000So Chris Cuomo, or as I call him, the lesser Cuomo, he's like, he's the equivalent to the Cuomos, what the Dylan brother is from Entourage.
00:09:33.000Now, I don't want them coming in and enacting policy just because they're riding the first man, but I understand that we want to know about the first family, we wish them well.
00:09:42.000But you look at CNN, it's just a who's who of swamp rats.
00:09:47.000Brian Stelter, there is no reason for that man to be on national television.
00:09:52.000The dirt he has on somebody is amazing.
00:09:56.000Maybe Cuomo, because Cuomo as well shouldn't be on there.
00:10:01.000It would be an insult to Ron Burgundy to compare them.
00:10:05.000Who was based on Jim Walcott in the Canadian show The Newsroom, and it would be an insult to Jim Walcott to compare Chris Cuomo to him.
00:10:38.000So here's him talking with Michael Cohen, assuming that there are rumors of sexual misconduct on his part, asking if the rumors have yet spread.
00:10:49.000You know, I'm always careful when I talk to media, you know?
00:10:54.000Do you know how many f***ing phone calls I've gotten from people at ABC who say that reporters are calling and lying about things they heard about me to try to get stories about me when I was at ABC?
00:11:05.000Guys calling and saying, I heard he was the Charlie Rose of ABC, used to invite women to the hotel and open his bathroom.
00:11:13.000Do I look like the kind of guy who's got to do that?
00:14:15.000Don't dot, don't harass, but ask him about the standards and if he thinks these should be applied to any women who come forward, particularly the women he's concerned about.
00:14:23.000You know, you send him a message, and I don't mean, you know, Michael Corleone says hello with a piano wire, because Fredo, I don't even think that was Fredo with the piano wire.
00:14:29.000I think Fredo... Who did they kill with the... No, that wasn't the piano wire.
00:14:32.000Fredo was just, you know, he was just shameful.
00:16:30.000At a certain point, I'm sorry, if it's a sex offender who's then returning after a restraining order to abuse the woman who he has charges against, sex offending that person, Listen, listen, come on guys, come on.
00:16:44.000Let's not act as though this is even close to George Floyd or Eric Garner.
00:16:47.000Eric Garner, 100% I agree with you, that was a cop who was ill-prepared.
00:16:51.000When we talk about Floyd, that's just a cop who was trained poorly.
00:16:53.000The cop didn't actually do anything wrong.
00:17:03.000He was completely in the wrong, that officer ideally could have used a chokehold, but you don't want that.
00:17:08.000Uh, so he had to shoot the guy who was going for a knife in his floorboard.
00:17:11.000So, listen, you made your bed, you can lay in it now.
00:17:14.000Yeah, and the CNN guys earlier this morning at about 6 a.m.
00:17:17.000asked the question of the, I guess the state's attorney in Wisconsin saying, is there any situation where a police officer's life could be in danger when the suspect is walking away from them?
00:17:27.000Framing that situation, one, I wanted to yell yes, but I'm like, He wasn't like walking away into a field of wood.
00:17:33.000He was walking into a vehicle with a knife.
00:17:55.000The thing is, they do want to get a hypothetical!
00:17:57.000Because the truth is, the non-hypothetical assaulted officers, he already had a warrant out for his sexual assault on a domestic battery, and then he told the officers he had a knife, they told him to stop, they changed him, it didn't work, and then he was reaching for a knife as he told them, I'm getting a knife!
00:18:43.000Now, I want to get to the story of Portland right now, because there are so many things that have taken place over the last 24 hours in Portland.
00:18:50.000And it's just amazing, because this is a story where they've tried to craft a narrative and respond and rebut the president.
00:19:34.000If you want to wipe the smile off, play Stelter.
00:19:37.000Let's introduce it before we get to the macro.
00:19:39.000I just think there have been a lot of people on the left who have been saying this on CNN, just Stelter is the most fun to show because he's so easy to dislike.
00:24:49.000Oh, they shoved you a little bit and you're complaining?
00:24:52.000Well, just because it was mitigated, because someone took proactive actions to make sure that they weren't harmed, doesn't diminish the fact that you tried to kill them.
00:27:44.000It's only 14,000 arrests across the country, 30 dead, a billion in damages, 900 officer casualties, and Donald Trump is trying to ferment hatred with his muscular shoulders and the hair that wisps in the wind that is strangely attractive, I can't explain why, but I just want to slap him!
00:28:22.000You're trying to encourage acts of violence because everyone here, if they were an actual Nazi who were gassing Jews in his off time, you know, not work hours, but you know, but still, even if it were on his own time, my main gripe with the Nazi still gassing Jews wouldn't be whether it's work hours or if he's an independent contractor.
00:28:43.000All of us would probably try and kill him and dump his body somewhere in the Ozarks, right?
00:28:47.000So when you say that the president is a Nazi, and you show a clip where you specifically edit out him condemning white supremacists and neo-Nazis.
00:31:07.000What do you think he has in his apartment?
00:31:08.000Do you think he has a volunteer cleanup crew?
00:31:10.000So again, Donald Trump, this is why the American people see the president as someone who's an advocate for them against the elite.
00:31:17.000And it's amazing to me that they don't see this.
00:31:19.000When a guy goes, no, our city is doing really well, and Donald Trump says, well, listen, I think we consider the National Guard, fewer people would have to die.
00:31:45.000This is why, even though you want to raise taxes on everybody, that's not enough to appeal to the middle class.
00:31:51.000Ted Wheeler, you aren't protecting your citizens, and the President, the billionaire from New York City, is the one who is looking out for, by the way, one of the few legitimate roles of government, their actual safety and security.
00:32:04.000And you don't care, and then you apologize to your voting constituents for the damage that happened to your house.
00:32:10.000I can't think of anything that would make somebody more of a prick!
00:32:33.000I mean, just flip the roles just a little bit.
00:32:35.000Second Amendment people walking up to a Republican governor who apparently hasn't said anything about these quote-unquote vigilantes, right?
00:33:16.000What about the mayor leaving his condo and called the president a Nazi and then saw that his bachelor pad was getting burned down so he's been forced to flee like an enemy of war?
00:35:24.000But this is funny because Nancy Pelosi, where salons were locked down, some footage I guess emerged yesterday of Nancy Pelosi emerging to get a blowout at the salon.
00:36:19.000But just like the Portland mayor, the reason this really matters is because Nancy Pelosi didn't just go out there and say, hey, you shouldn't do this, you should stay home.
00:36:27.000She was on the warpath accusing the president of killing Americans for not obeying the laws that she flagrantly disregards.
00:36:43.000If he hadn't said months ago, let's wear masks, let's socially distance instead of having rallies and political whatever they were, then more people would have followed his lead as the President of the United States instead of being a bad example, making it like a manhood thing not to wear a mask.
00:37:03.000You know she's super pissed that she can't coin phrases?
00:37:14.000It's going to be a thing if I say it's a thing.
00:37:16.000Yeah, but you were denied communion, so.
00:37:19.000I have a whole lot of respect for you.
00:37:21.000This isn't the first time that she's been hypocritical, by the way.
00:37:23.000Of course, we're going to get to her in Chinatown.
00:37:27.000But before this, we should tell people, the concern here, too, is not just that she's a hypocrite, but she has ended livelihoods in San Francisco.
00:38:06.000And this is, again, we talk about the elitism.
00:38:08.000Why do you think that the American middle class, they overwhelmingly support Donald Trump, or in a way that at least, they support Donald Trump to a degree that at least apologizes to the left, because you, Nancy Pelosi, have determined that someone's livelihood is not a worthy enough reason for reopening the economy despite the fact that young healthy people really are at no greater risk with the coronavirus than the flu, right?
00:38:31.000It's because you decided that them being able to earn a living was not really worth the price of purchasing votes from other groups that you're currently actively seeking and so you, sorry, you fucked them!
00:38:44.000You fucked the middle class with the salons, Nancy Pelosi!
00:40:03.000Maybe I shouldn't just vote to tax the rich like a selfish prick.
00:40:06.000Maybe I should look and see who wants a tide that raises all ships.
00:40:10.000Seems like the guy who wants to actually enact law and order, and a guy who wants us all to be able to go back to work, and a guy who wants everyone across the board to pay less in taxes, even though we already have a progressive tax.
00:40:19.000If that means that the rich people get a little bit of a break, but I get a huge break, You know what?
00:40:22.000I think this guy might be looking out for me if they keep doing this.
00:40:27.000And I can't see it not happening because they've already set their feet.
00:40:29.000In other words, there's going to be, I guarantee you, four, five, six, seven, eight more mayors like Ted Wheeler where they've already said we're fine and we're going to find out soon that they're not fine.
00:40:39.000These people got started in politics and in the news before cell phones, and so a lot of them aren't counting on people being able to video their house being burnt.
00:40:49.000And ring doorbell being able to take care of it.
00:40:52.000So the hypocrisy is much more easy to see now, but it's much more on display and people can see it.
00:40:58.000Well you know what the first incident of that that I can remember, both would work, is Congressman Clyburn and I think Lewis, when they were walking up the Capitol steps, and the Tea Party back then existed.
00:41:10.000They were trying to accuse a tea party of being racist.
00:41:53.000At this point, it was just sort of seen as a place where people talked to the cameras and those in the entertainment industry didn't respect them because there were a lot of people on YouTube just looking in a camera going, blah, blah, blah, makeup.
00:42:02.000And you're like, this guy is not going anywhere.
00:42:22.000And all you saw was someone accidentally, some spittle came out when they were yelling, you know, like, why are you betraying the American people?
00:42:27.000Which is a dog whistle for Gaspajews, I guess.
00:42:42.000Then they try to hang him on a Shirley Sherrod video and they try to destroy his career because they saw how effective he could be when the fact is it was actually Bill O'Reilly who edited that tape at Fox News out of context.
00:42:50.000It hurt him and Andrew Breitbart could only redeem himself and only get on major news when he had the dick pics from Anthony Weiner and the media knew!
00:43:25.000And the media was going to report that.
00:43:26.000But instead, Andrew Breitbart, like a boss, walked up onto the podium.
00:43:32.000And I remember people who worked there told me, you could hear, Breitbart's in the building!
00:43:36.000And he said, I have these pictures and I would I choose not to release them because I don't want to put his family through that.
00:43:42.000But you've dragged my name through them.
00:43:44.000The only way he was able to get the media, to be honest, was to actually hijack Anthony Wiener, keep in mind, up until this very second in time, Anthony Wiener was primed to run for president, and the media loved him, and they knew what was going on.
00:44:00.000It required Andrew Breitbart hijacking the C-SPAN feed and podium.
00:44:05.000So now, though, a lot of people who are younger take this for granted.
00:44:10.000Andrew Breitbart himself was not able to break through until it was so undeniable.
00:44:15.000Sorry, I'm getting caught in a rabbit hole.
00:44:17.000I think people need to actually go out there and tout his legacy a little bit more because it's sort of become a brand and people see the site and sometimes there's some baggage.
00:44:24.000Andrew Breitbart, to know that man was to love him, even though we disagreed on a whole lot.
00:44:27.000Yeah, and the only reason this Nancy Pelosi thing is a story is because the owner of the salon released the footage.
00:44:32.000So if you have this footage, you can be a journalist.
00:45:44.000Speaking of which, speaking of the haircut is what really matters, we have been a full-service employment studio here because... Yeah, I got a haircut.
00:45:51.000Yeah, a lot of people can't get haircuts when they go out there because a lot of them are closed down.
00:45:55.000So we've been doing it for a while, and as a matter of fact, I think some of that's going on right now.
00:45:58.000So it's time to check in with the team with people at work They're fed they can get their haircuts
00:46:14.000We want to make sure that they're able to be gainfully employed and we can see...
00:46:49.000But it's gonna come back, because I know the next clip.
00:46:52.000Shouldn't surprise anyone that she's a hypocrite, because she wanted to blame Donald Trump when it was politically expedient, but keep in mind that while the pandemic was still raging on, not only did Nancy Pelosi say that it wasn't really a big deal, but because of reverse racism.
00:47:05.000This moment is like a Michael Scott moment.
00:47:23.000The cautions have been taken by our city.
00:47:26.000If you look closely, he's operating her from the back.
00:47:28.000We know that there's concerns about tourism traveling all throughout the world, but we think it's very safe to be in Chinatown and hope that others will come.
00:47:38.000It's a man, a white guy, she's surrounded by Asians, she's in the street in Chinatown, but the only one holding the walk is a white guy, like he's about to hit her over the head like Wilma Flintstone.
00:47:52.000I mean, what kind of chutzpah do you have to have to level any criticism of Donald Trump when he was at this time taking action and you're on the streets of Chinatown saying, we think it's great, not only here but all over the world, people should come to Chinatown.
00:48:05.000Everybody should be out in the streets and we think it's safe.
00:48:08.000And then to go back a few months later and go, we never said it was safe.
00:48:39.000Because you want everyone to think Donald Trump is racist and you don't really care about people's safety or livelihood as seen by walking into that salon once you clear it out like you're a dead rat.
00:48:47.000It's like she walks in like she's a mob boss only the difference is at the very least and I'm not saying I support the mafia.
00:48:53.000You know, like, they have to work their way up.
00:49:51.000And the reason that he's doing that Is because his desire to show his bro hug with a black guy superseded his mask fear-mongering.
00:50:04.000You know in his brain, he's like, oh my god, all of a sudden I don't have a mask but he's black and I'm gonna look like I got a decision to make.
00:50:31.000I feel like Donald Trump is playing these guys, like, seven moves ahead at times.
00:50:34.000Like, he'll do something and say something, and then kind of, like, hold back the laughter for another day or two until they walk into the trap.
00:50:41.000You don't even know why this is so funny, because you just said several moves ahead.
00:50:43.000Go to CNN right now and it says, Biden to travel to Kenosha, Wisconsin on Thursday.
00:51:47.000He smoked a pipe, so... What does that have to do with anything?
00:51:50.000Hey, listen, actually, we are going to teach you how to do a social distancing haircut here for those exclusively who are members of MugClubLive.com slash MugClub.
