Joe Biden and a horned lizard share a blood-filled eye. Also, we discuss the Nord Stream Pipeline, and the fact that Velma from Scooby-Doo is now a lesbian. Plus, we talk about a bunch of other stuff.
00:00:39.000...is that this answers... ...the reptilian question.
00:00:44.000This autist on poll pointed out the similarities between Joe Biden and a horned lizard with this disgusting ability to squirt blood from its eye.
00:00:52.000Uncle Joe must have felt threatened by so many questions and just couldn't suppress his natural instincts.
00:00:58.000I shouldn't even have to mention the other obvious similarity that old creepy Joe shares with a horny lizard.
00:05:38.000Alright, let's watch this first really quickly.
00:05:40.000There is a group of women on a podcast here, this has been making the rounds, and I guess the host, I'm not familiar with it, but the host kind of, you know, called on the task and they didn't know what to do with it.
00:05:49.000They're proclaiming what a wonderful thing it is for women in their 20s to not be in relationships, and they use these broad terms like explore themselves.
00:12:15.000It's like they're disgusting vanity, which has spread like wildfire in our society.
00:12:20.000The selfie culture is abhorrent to me.
00:12:23.000I think that's what I'm responding to, as opposed to some titillation from a beautiful woman here and there.
00:12:28.000And she was talking about how there were some spreads, where there were some news spreads, you know, in an appropriate venue, how she doesn't have a problem with that.
00:12:50.000We need to acknowledge this, and people who are serving ultimately evil can do good things, and people who are trying to do good can do evil things.
00:12:58.000But, if you are not serving good, if you are not pursuing good, ultimately, you are, at the very least, a valuable tool in the service of evil.
00:13:07.000And you have to ask, do you think it's a good thing for a young woman to say, hey, I could go to school, I could become a nurse, I could go to school, I could become an engineer, or I can have sex with a DJ and sell it for millions of dollars.
00:16:37.000I don't care if you want to have a lesbian character.
00:16:40.000When you have people who are gay or lesbian, which is atypical, and by that I mean it's always been about 2% of the population, now it's claimed to be 7% when you go LGBTQAIP and that includes queer and bisexual.
00:16:51.000Uh, but a very small percentage of the population.
00:16:53.000So it necessitates a conversation with kids.
00:19:51.000Has agreed to continue now with the, and this isn't necessarily new, but there are some developments, the $44 billion purchase of, and that was the original price too.
00:20:00.000That's what kind of surprised us is with the bots issue.
00:20:04.000We thought that there would be, the deal fell through.
00:20:07.000We thought, okay, there would be sort of a scaling back of the price of negotiation.
00:20:10.000No, we're still at $44 billion and now it looks like it's going to go through.
00:20:13.000Elon has agreed to purchase Twitter for that price.
00:20:15.000Silicon Valley's latest soap opera looks like it might be coming to an end, with Musk saying today he's ready to buy.
00:20:23.000But if Musk owns Twitter, will it be good for users?
00:22:22.000And then they said, oh my gosh, he's gonna have access to our books.
00:22:24.000The theory was, we don't know, all of a sudden we start gaining all these followers, we were showing up in people's feeds.
00:22:29.000Now with this deal going through, obviously he's made a big stink about bots.
00:22:32.000He said they've grossly underestimated the amount of bots, fake accounts.
00:22:36.000Looks like the purchase is going through, and now accounts are being removed.
00:22:41.000So the point is he could be calling he could be calling the shots there But certainly he has influence someone like an Elon Musk has influence and has influence beyond just owning Twitter But even just what he says about these platforms, you know, they have to hop to algorithms change We don't know exactly what changed we do know that things changed twice and the two things that changed are Obviously, the central concerns that he expressed were the
00:23:34.000And so that does beg the question, okay, the only currency that Twitter really has, and this is something we run into with YouTube by the way, their currency is their user base.
00:23:42.000A lot of these new media companies, these social media companies, they've had a tough time monetizing.
00:23:45.000I don't even know if YouTube has yet to make a dime.
00:24:07.000That means that they're saying, they're making an inference, right?
00:24:10.000They're saying, okay, so if Elon Musk purchases Twitter, which is not worth all that much, it's been a shitty platform for a very long time, dead last when we're talking about the big arms race for social media.
00:24:18.000If he ends up taking control and he allows for more, that'll actually make the platform more valuable because more people will want to be there.
00:24:25.000When you hear the argument in media, it's, well, should they be doing more to remove people and make it safer?
00:24:32.000Or should they be doing less and make, well, guess what?
00:25:19.000Elon Musk has a little bit of Donald Trump in him where he's like, all right, we're going to take every big bank out there except for you, the one that's currently working with Twitter.
00:27:39.000But in front of the scenes, I bet you if you were to talk with a bunch of Hollywood producers, too, they'd be like, yeah, we had to change Red Dawn from China to North Korea.
00:30:20.000Even people who are like, I'm sort of middle of the road, centrist middle of the road people,
00:30:22.000and I would never out them, but behind the scenes, you realize how right-wing they are.
00:30:26.000Because what happens is, they start with speech.
00:30:29.000They start with supporting the idea of freedom.
00:30:31.000And then the more successful they become, they realize, oh, wait a second, there is a boys club, and they want to take all of my money, so now they become conservative fiscally.
00:30:40.000And then the longer they go, you realize you can't really separate.
00:30:44.000When I see comedians, we'll talk about this tomorrow, like Bill Burr saying, what's wrong with socialism?
00:30:49.000Well, you can't separate a socialist government from every single government that is even full-on socialist, moderate socialist, Nordic socialist model, European socialism, and a complete control over your speech and autonomy.
00:31:05.000And so people who maybe present themselves as centric, they are far more right-wing minded.
00:31:09.000I run into it all the time and they say, you know, I'm just, I gotta play ball.
00:31:12.000Yeah, and the minute they start leaning to the right, like Elon has here, he started leaning to the right and all of a sudden he has come under heavy fire from everyone.
00:31:55.000That's like him with all of his previously hard assets.
00:31:58.000So speaking of it, we're going to get to the Nord Stream issue, okay?
00:32:06.000And that's going to take a little bit of time.
00:32:08.000So I just want to let you know, we're not going to get too crazy nerdy, but I do want to give you the ins and outs and the potential players there.
00:32:14.000But before that, I do want to take a victory lap here.
00:32:18.000I have been trying to get banned from TikTok since February of 2022 because it's run by communist bastards.
00:32:24.000Now, they had banned me before, and then they decided they weren't going to ban me.
00:33:03.000So, just so we put a close to this chapter, mission accomplished, with all of this, screw the CCP, screw Xi Jinping, and TikTok, well at least my TikTok, time to close.
00:33:16.000I can't in good conscience remain on the platform on TikTok.
00:33:19.000I've already been banned like three times.
00:33:20.000I was going to manually delete TikTok, was the plan, like on my phone, go look, and then I realized, wait a second, I don't need to do that.
00:33:24.000I can just say, I can just say true things.
00:33:28.000Okay, all right, let's try this for TikTok.
00:33:30.000Mao's great leap forward led to the death of 45 million Chinese citizens.
00:33:33.000Xi Jinping plagiarized your doctoral thesis.
00:33:37.000On June 4th, 1989, the CCP murdered thousands of protesters at the Tiananmen Square.
00:35:00.000I do know Japanese because of, uh, remember the Big Bird movie?
00:35:03.000When we were kids, we would say, Dad, put on Big Bird Turns Blue because they, like, they beat him like he's an elephant in a circus and he turns blue.
00:37:26.000So in other words, it was clearly just for show.
00:37:28.000So whether he did it or not, he obviously had done something, or the situation was untenable, where they wanted him to resign publicly.
00:37:34.000But behind the scenes, if you guys have watched The Dark Knight, it's not really a great series, just so you know, it doesn't really do the film justice.
00:37:39.000But the making of documentary, you can see that alleged pedophile Elmo puppeteer right there.
00:37:44.000And at one point, I swear to you, he almost looks away from the camera.
00:37:47.000Like they're showing, look, this is how we do it.
00:40:03.000I know you probably don't care about it, but here's the macro point that I want to make, and we'll get to what's happened with the Nord Stream, and people have different suspicions.
00:41:07.000That you'll be more efficient with your energy.
00:41:09.000Why can you do that if you have your own individual generator power?
00:41:12.000Oh, you mean because the municipal government doesn't know how to provide energy for you and how to handle your waste better than you would if left to make your own decisions?
00:41:21.000Let's just expand that to national borders.
00:41:23.000Of course, the United States would know better how to provide for our own energy than Saudi Arabia, than, for many European countries of course, Russia, China.
00:41:34.000We should all be responsible for our own energy in the perfect world, if we could be.
00:41:37.000The good news is, in the United States, we absolutely can be.
00:41:40.000We choose not to be, and so we are beholden to these nations.
00:41:44.000Uh, who have no EPA standards, who couldn't give a rat's ass about protecting the environment, and also, we have to transport energy across the ocean where there are countless number of spills, and I don't know if you know this, it requires energy to run boats.
00:44:49.000Here's what it's not. I know what you could say. Former Vice President Joe Biden talks tough. He's an idiot. Sure.
00:44:54.000Sorry. Respect the office. He's an idiot. So here's what the Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria
00:45:02.000Newland, had to say about not just Joe Biden talking tough about Nord Stream 2 in December.
00:45:09.000As we discussed last night in some detail, what we are talking about would amount to essentially isolating Russia
00:45:18.000completely from the global financial system with all of the fallout that that would entail for Russian business, for
00:45:26.000the Russian people, for their ability to to work and travel and trade.
00:45:32.000One thing that I believe certainly the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is pretty unified on, it may not be unanimous, was Our support for sanctions against Nord Stream 2 pipeline, and I think we were all, many of us were very disappointed that those sanctions were not fully implemented and the construction continued.
00:45:52.000I certainly hope that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee would take up legislation to go beyond just suspending it, but from ending it permanently.
00:46:01.000Okay, so you have them saying, okay, ending it permanently, that's kind of vague.
00:46:03.000Then you have Joe Biden twice saying, we will put an end to it.
00:46:09.000Now, let me be clear about a couple things.
00:46:11.000Something here that's sort of a macro point.
00:46:13.000Do you notice when people say, oh, well, cancel culture isn't a thing, the government's not arresting you.
00:46:18.000Now, of course, in every country that's not the United States, you are arrested for what you say.
00:46:21.000But notice that even when we're talking about internationally crippling, crippling Russia, We're not just saying nuke them, they're saying cut off their ability to make a living.
00:46:30.000That's what happens to all of you if you engage in wrong think.
00:46:33.000So when people say, well that's not censorship if the government, if the FBI, if the CIA, if you're audited by the IRS and 80,000 new agents, if we put pressure on private companies like Jen Psaki did calling for Spotify to engage in more censorship and all of social media where they host these meetings, that's not government censorship!
00:46:49.000No, no, we're just going to remove your ability to make a living.
00:46:51.000That's exactly what they do internationally.
00:47:13.000Potentially, who could have done this?
00:47:14.000There are a lot of conspiracies around.
00:47:16.000There's also another one that, honestly, I do think, given the recent evidence that we have, there's another actor at play, and it could just be a glorified ad for Seagal's new film.
00:49:08.000I don't think that these people should be included in the wealthiest people on the planet list.
00:49:11.000Whether it's him, whether it's Saudi Arabian oil sheiks or people who were born into it, people who took it from their... I don't think that that should be included alongside people like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos.
00:49:22.000Even though I don't like those people, I think there's a difference between actually earning your money versus stealing it.
00:50:52.000That was Russia leveraging, saying, okay, we're not going to send any gas to you, which prompted the entire EU to basically say, get ready for a very hard winter.
00:51:00.000Make sure you guys save as much as you can on energy, because we might not have any.
00:51:04.000J. William, our agent, he was in Paris.
00:51:07.000Nothing like perpetuating the original stereotype.
00:51:08.000He was in Paris, and he was saying it's so cold, they shut off the heat.
00:51:12.000So I knew they were shutting off water heaters in France for certain times of the day, but apparently there might actually be certain city-wide mandates to shut off the heat.
00:51:21.000Because it's going to get really, really cold, obviously, in a lot of those places, and so they're saying, alright, well, if we're not going to have gas, you're not going to have any options.
00:51:28.000You're going to have to burn, by God, we're going to have to burn wood.
00:51:31.000Wouldn't it be great if that giant nuclear plant wasn't closed down last month?
00:51:35.000And so, basically, the European Union, right, the EU, all these countries are saying, like, hey, Russia, you better not.
00:51:40.000And then they go out in public and say, by the way, we are going to move off, we're no longer going to use Russian gas or Russian energy.
00:51:46.000And then everyone says, oh, so this shouldn't affect you.
00:51:48.000They go, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait.
00:51:49.000We said we would move off Russian energy eventually.
00:52:12.000He's losing his grip on his citizens because they don't want to be fighting in this war and they certainly don't want to go to full scale mobilization.
00:52:37.000What you're saying, just to be clear, you're being a little bit convoluted.
00:52:40.000What you're saying, because we talked about this before, I think what you're trying to say is he could have sabotaged it and wants to blame it on the West.
00:52:47.000so that he can say look at what they're doing. Look at the evil devil.
00:52:50.000But there's a two-pronged benefit there for them is they also get to harm the rest of Europe because they shut
00:52:57.000off their energy. Yeah, they shut off their energy and say fine if
00:52:59.000you want to be independent from us then we'll see how you like that during
00:53:02.000the winter. Now the Ukrainian people would also kind of benefit
00:53:07.000If Russia is blamed for this or if the United States is blamed for this, either way they kind of win, right?
00:53:14.000Because if they're the ones that did it, I don't know if they have the capacity to do it or the wherewithal, but if they did it, They now have pitted two of their kind of, you know, big players against each other.
00:53:24.000So the United States is more apt to jump in and say, oh, no, no, no, we're going to go and do more against Russia.
00:53:29.000So we're going to help Ukraine further, which Joe Biden just, I think, sent several hundred million more in arms to Ukraine and signed that into a bill.
00:53:38.000Last week, something like that, right?
00:53:40.000So the other thing to keep in mind, too, is that Russia knew that their hold on the country was actually going to go away even further because they had just completed a Baltic pipeline to go into Poland and start taking some of this demand away from Russia.
00:55:00.000Yeah, guys, you can find that, uh, Sarah sent us an email, she found that, we can run it later, where he's literally just, but it's so, I'm not exaggerating, it's so over the top, this is a stand-up, it's what you would expect from awful Eastern European stand-up.
00:55:11.000He's there, behind the piano going like, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, and moving his hands like, hey, see, it's like I'm doing it with my, with my tongue!
00:56:02.000Like I said, they're just two awful places.
00:56:05.000Russia, because of the human rights violations, right, because of the fact that they oppress their people because Putin is wealthy through ill-gotten gain, and then Ukraine because they let this asshole lead them.
00:58:17.000It's not even, by the way, they're not even in sync.
00:58:19.000Like there was this funny act in Montreal just for us, we see all these weird comedy acts, and I get weird if it's not the same thing, where these guys were on stage completely naked and they just each had like a balloon and as the balloons would deflate they would pass them so you never actually saw anything.
00:58:32.000But this was brilliantly choreographed where Every time you thought, oh my gosh, there's going to be full frontal nudity, they did something that was funny, and they would do it as a troupe.
00:58:53.000Columbia professor Jeffrey Sachs had this to say where he was making the case, and beyond Joe Biden said he might do it, that the United States is at fault.
01:00:28.000Don't allow people to tell you that you're a crazy conspiracy theorist if you think, you know what, I think the United States may be involved here.
01:00:35.000Because that's what the media is trying to memory hole, what Biden said.
01:00:38.000And it's incredibly reckless for the administration to say stuff like they said earlier.
01:00:43.000And also, we didn't play one of the clips from Victoria Nuland.
01:00:45.000She actually went further and said that we would end it.
01:00:49.000There was a more precise clip at a briefing that she was giving.
01:00:52.000And people look at her and go, oh, she's the one that pushed for the Ukrainian government to be overthrown in 2014.
01:00:58.000She's the one that pushed for the Iraq war.
01:01:00.000I'm starting to see a little bit of a trend here with this war hawk essentially going out there and pushing.
01:01:04.000So if Biden is taking instructions from anybody that has anything to do with her, it's very likely That that could have happened, right?
01:01:11.000And it's very dangerous for the administration to be so obvious with it.
01:01:15.000If they're going to do this at some point down the road, you send a memo out or something, you talk to everybody so there's no paper trail, and just say, don't say anything stupid like, we will end it.
01:01:24.000I didn't want to cut you off because you're making a good point, and I assume this will be clipped for Crowder Bits, but I think what you're saying is, she can't be trusted because she's a bitch.
01:02:52.000And for you it could be really Difficult and cut into your bottom line combined with the other inflation that you see at the grocery store, that you see everywhere, right?
01:03:00.000That being said, do count your blessings because for people in third world countries, it's deadly.
01:03:07.000So, when I say that green policies are worse for the environment, I'm separating that we all know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, economically, it is crippling.
01:03:17.000We all know that it kills millions of people, right?
01:03:21.000There are these tables that exist, I don't have them in front of me, where for every dollar the price of gas goes up, or the price per barrel goes up, how many people lose their lives because they're not able to, whether it's heat their homes, whether it's cook their food, so let's separate that just On the environmental impact, green policies are a net negative.
01:03:40.000Now, remember this, and this is highlighted with Nord Stream, 2018 Donald Trump warned the Europeans about being dependent on what?
01:03:50.000And by the way, to give Mitt Romney credit, and I really hate to do that, remember back in the debates where he talked about the problem with Russia, and remember what Barack Obama said?
01:03:58.000said? Yeah, the 1980s are calling, they want your foreign policy back. Yep, he said, exactly.
01:04:02.000Yeah. I was gonna do it in Obama's voice, but you did better. He said that in the debates,
01:04:07.000and they're the ones vilifying Russia. Again, keep in mind, the Republicans, conservatives,
01:04:12.000have been presenting very logical, right, very reasonable arguments.
01:04:15.000Hey, there's actually a problem with dependence on Russian energy.
01:05:42.000Before we get to the other issues here, keep in mind, 2018, that was the first time the United States became a net exporter of oil and refined fuel.
01:05:51.000So Donald Trump said, you guys need to change your dependency here, this is going to be a problem for you, and for the first time, made it so that we were actually a net exporter, which I would argue, better for the world.
01:06:00.000If the world is able to get gas, or the world is able to get oil, whatever form of energy from us, better than getting it from Russia.
01:06:08.000Being dependent on energy from Russia forces you to play ball with not only countries, not only evil people who don't give a shit about human rights, but they also don't care about the environment, to be clear.
01:06:20.000And we don't need to be dependent on them at all.
01:07:48.000Isn't there a middle ground where there are no regulations on slave labor in China versus, I believe now since it's gone back up, the highest, if not top two, highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world, including a lot of the European socialist countries that make it impossible to run a business for us to be able to manufacture and create We can't use our raw materials in a lot of ways because it's bad for the environment, so a business owner has to go and get something done in China.
01:09:16.000It's worse for the environment, there are more spills, there are more CO2 emissions, more methane emissions, and you're supporting the oligarchies who then get to champion themselves.
01:09:25.000I'm one of the wealthiest men in the country.
01:09:27.000He should be poor and we should use our own energy.
01:09:37.000Yeah, and if you guys really do hate places like Saudi Arabia and you want to make sure that those people don't stay in power, you hate places like Russia, not the people of the countries, but the leaders of those countries, why do you continue to say that we should buy oil from them and not do it here?
01:09:51.000They certainly, we've told you, they don't have the same kind of standards, but you're also feeding their country.
01:09:56.000You're basically saying you get to stay in power because you get enough money to make sure your people don't overthrow you.
01:10:02.000That's essentially what's going on in Saudi Arabia right now.
01:10:04.000Without all that money, there is no way people take any kind of subjugation if you don't have any kind of carrot.
01:10:10.000If it's just all stick, eventually it goes away.
01:10:18.000And right now, and I kind of bumbled over this, but they just cut oil production.
01:10:22.000OPEC has power over us because they're like, oh, well, we don't like the price of oil right now, so we're going to cut production by 2 million barrels per day.
01:10:32.000Joe Biden has taken the United States oil reserves to the lowest in 40 years just to try and win an election to make sure gas prices aren't too high.
