00:00:00.000 🎵 Outro Music 🎵 Hey everyone.
00:00:18.000 Whistleblower22 here.
00:00:20.000 You may know that Joe Biden was recently seen with a blood-filled left eye during a climate town hall.
00:00:25.000 To ignore me, this is just more proof that this actual f***ing baby boomer is too old to support a closed circulatory system.
00:00:32.000 While this is true, the more important truth, though, here is that... No!
00:00:37.000 I'm recording!
00:00:39.000 ...is that this answers... ...the reptilian question.
00:00:44.000 This autist on poll pointed out the similarities between Joe Biden and a horned lizard with this disgusting ability to squirt blood from its eye.
00:00:52.000 Uncle Joe must have felt threatened by so many questions and just couldn't suppress his natural instincts.
00:00:58.000 I shouldn't even have to mention the other obvious similarity that old creepy Joe shares with a horny lizard.
00:01:05.000 Thanks for watching.
00:01:06.000 If you want to support me, you can pledge to my GoFundMe and help my command center move to a better space to make videos.
00:01:11.000 Currently, I can only work on videos at night while my mom is asleep.
00:01:14.000 Until next time, Whistleblower out.
00:01:16.000 You're a stranger in love, that's what I know.
00:01:39.000 You're a stranger in love, I got to know.
00:01:59.000 Oh, that is deli- you know what, Tim?
00:02:00.000 You really- Toolman, you really did help me out with that honey.
00:02:03.000 I'm glad.
00:02:04.000 That local honey.
00:02:05.000 That local South American honey.
00:02:06.000 He was very passionate about it.
00:02:07.000 He was like, you gotta try this honey.
00:02:09.000 Like a Jewish guy with a doctorate.
00:02:10.000 He was like, you've never seen honey!
00:02:11.000 I was like, I get the- I was like, I get it raw from a local farm.
00:02:16.000 He was like, that's crap!
00:02:17.000 What do you know from honey, you bastard?
00:02:20.000 You don't know honey!
00:02:22.000 There's sugar in that.
00:02:24.000 You think your honey is clear?
00:02:25.000 This honey is so clear!
00:02:29.000 It's like the Jewish Donald Trump.
00:02:31.000 Turns out he's the honey Jackie Mason.
00:02:33.000 I got some honey.
00:02:34.000 You gotta get your honey in a barrel.
00:02:35.000 I don't do the honey barrel.
00:02:36.000 I got honey.
00:02:37.000 It's raw honey.
00:02:38.000 It's from the orange pollen.
00:02:40.000 I found out honey's like wine, I guess.
00:02:42.000 People, you know what?
00:02:42.000 Comment below if you're a honey connoisseur.
00:02:44.000 Depends on what flowers.
00:02:45.000 I don't know.
00:02:46.000 That's a whole thing.
00:02:47.000 Someone was doing a honey tasting somewhere.
00:02:49.000 You do that?
00:02:50.000 No, I don't.
00:02:51.000 It was a bear.
00:02:52.000 Yes!
00:02:52.000 She's eating ping.
00:02:57.000 I also love, if you go into the woods today, you're in for a big surprise.
00:03:02.000 No?
00:03:03.000 You mean you'd be surprised that there are bears in the woods?
00:03:05.000 Or trees?
00:03:06.000 I mean, I guess I'd be surprised of a picnic.
00:03:08.000 Yes.
00:03:09.000 I mean, like, that's pretty organized.
00:03:11.000 I assumed it was allegorical, that by picnic they mean that they were tearing people apart.
00:03:15.000 Yeah.
00:03:16.000 That's what I would expect if I go into the woods.
00:03:17.000 I saw Grizzly Man.
00:03:18.000 So we have a lot to talk about today.
00:03:21.000 The Nord Stream Pipeline.
00:03:22.000 Right?
00:03:23.000 What's happened there?
00:03:23.000 There are a lot of conspiracies going around.
00:03:27.000 I don't know.
00:03:28.000 I don't know exactly what happened.
00:03:30.000 Nobody really knows.
00:03:31.000 But we have a scorecard for the United States.
00:03:33.000 Could they be involved?
00:03:34.000 Ukraine?
00:03:34.000 Russia?
00:03:35.000 And who is most likely?
00:03:35.000 So there'll be discussion about that today.
00:03:37.000 We'll also be discussing that Velma from Scooby-Doo is now a lesbian.
00:03:40.000 Interesting.
00:03:42.000 Yeah.
00:03:44.000 I think this is all one big glorified advertisement for Orvis.
00:03:47.000 And then Elon Musk.
00:03:51.000 Now he's going to be buying Twitter.
00:03:52.000 That just went through.
00:03:53.000 So my question to you is, do you think you'll reinstate Donald Trump's Twitter account?
00:03:53.000 That is official.
00:03:58.000 Also, I was banned from TikTok, which is fun.
00:04:00.000 Finally!
00:04:00.000 So we'll be doing that and a whole lot more.
00:04:00.000 Yep.
00:04:03.000 Gerald A., how are you?
00:04:04.000 How are you, man?
00:04:04.000 I'm doing well.
00:04:05.000 I just had a popcorn kernel come loose in my mouth.
00:04:08.000 When were you eating popcorn?
00:04:09.000 Last night.
00:04:10.000 That could have been three weeks ago.
00:04:15.000 You know when the colonels, like, they get in your gums?
00:04:17.000 Like, those things hurt, man.
00:04:18.000 Sorry.
00:04:19.000 You keep... They said your hands... Try to keep talking.
00:04:22.000 No, no, no.
00:04:23.000 Tell me more about yourself.
00:04:25.000 Someone help me!
00:04:27.000 Put the camera on him, tool man.
00:04:31.000 It just came loose.
00:04:31.000 It was in the back of my gum.
00:04:32.000 I couldn't get rid of it.
00:04:33.000 It just came loose, so I was saying...
00:04:36.000 Fastest man on his feet, quickest foot in the West.
00:04:36.000 All right, okay.
00:04:38.000 You also, you know him, you love him.
00:04:39.000 Dave Landau, how are you?
00:04:40.000 Ahoy, good.
00:04:40.000 Yourself?
00:04:41.000 Colonel-less?
00:04:42.000 No, no colonels.
00:04:42.000 No colonels in your life?
00:04:43.000 I try to avoid the popcorn unless I'm at the big picture shows.
00:04:47.000 Is that because of the colonels?
00:04:48.000 It's because of the colonels.
00:04:49.000 They just get stuck.
00:04:49.000 It really is.
00:04:51.000 I've been doing it all day.
00:04:53.000 I can't stop doing it.
00:04:53.000 I'll get one in my gum and then the gum grows over it.
00:04:56.000 Yes.
00:04:57.000 It feels like it.
00:04:58.000 Not really.
00:04:58.000 It does.
00:04:59.000 It feels like it.
00:05:00.000 Yes, really.
00:05:00.000 I gotta get out Tweezers, this whole thing.
00:05:02.000 Yeah, it is a thing.
00:05:03.000 And by the way, speaking of thing, I'll be in Oklahoma City this weekend, Saturday, October 8th.
00:05:07.000 There's a sixth show.
00:05:08.000 We added an 845 show.
00:05:09.000 So you can go to livewithcrowder.com slash tour.
00:05:11.000 Like I said, the people who run these clubs are good people and they won't be bullied.
00:05:15.000 Let me tell you how great that club is.
00:05:17.000 Owner of the texted me yesterday to include how much I like it too.
00:05:26.000 Dave likes it too.
00:05:28.000 I love his clubs.
00:05:29.000 He's like, you could throw in on that.
00:05:31.000 I'm like, you're a bastard.
00:05:38.000 Alright, let's watch this first really quickly.
00:05:40.000 There 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.
00:05:49.000 They'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.
00:05:57.000 Anyway, just see how this goes down.
00:05:59.000 Yeah, like why would I take someone seriously when clearly they're not taking me seriously at all.
00:06:04.000 Especially because we're all like in our early 20s, like this is the time to like explore and find yourself too.
00:06:11.000 When you say explore and find yourself, does that mean just like get run through by a bunch of dudes?
00:06:16.000 I'm just translating.
00:06:17.000 I just want to translate.
00:06:19.000 I'm just translating.
00:06:21.000 I'm just translating.
00:06:23.000 The correct answer is yes, that's what they meant.
00:06:25.000 For girls.
00:06:27.000 Yes.
00:06:28.000 Here's the thing.
00:06:29.000 We're in our 20s.
00:06:30.000 You know, World War II was won by women in their 20s.
00:06:33.000 That was a big part of the war effort.
00:06:35.000 Back in the day, women in their 20s were working, they had children, they had established families, they had a home.
00:06:41.000 And I know you say the deck is decked against you so you can't do it.
00:06:45.000 It's completely untrue.
00:06:46.000 You don't have To, in your 20s, have a bunch of meaningless relationships in one night stands.
00:06:51.000 If you want to, fine.
00:06:52.000 Just don't espouse it to other girls, although that's the norm.
00:06:55.000 They played baseball with Rosie O'Donnell?
00:06:57.000 Yep.
00:06:57.000 They did.
00:07:00.000 They did that too, yes.
00:07:01.000 Until their window closes.
00:07:02.000 That's the problem.
00:07:03.000 There's no ovulating in baseball!
00:07:05.000 No.
00:07:07.000 Is she peeing that long?
00:07:08.000 Oh no.
00:07:09.000 Here's a... Women, look.
00:07:11.000 And we'll get to Megyn Kelly in a second.
00:07:12.000 Now she's taking flack because of what she said about the Kardashians.
00:07:15.000 It's this vanity.
00:07:16.000 Look.
00:07:17.000 It is true.
00:07:18.000 There is a double standard, just to be clear.
00:07:20.000 And it's not that we're setting it.
00:07:21.000 Biology is setting the standard.
00:07:24.000 Men don't have that kind of a window.
00:07:26.000 Men can have kids well into their, gosh, Abraham.
00:07:29.000 I mean, you go, like, probably into your 90s.
00:07:30.000 I don't know, but I'm sure it can be done.
00:07:32.000 I mean, you need assistance.
00:07:34.000 But you do have a certain window.
00:07:36.000 And if you're saying, oh, I'm going to waste my 20s, And women often get into their 30s and they go, oh, oh, oh,
00:07:41.000 they end up settling.
00:07:42.000 You say, I'm not going to settle for anything less than perfect when you're in your 20s,
00:07:45.000 and then you end up settling for a trash bag in your 30s because now you're up against the clock.
00:07:49.000 And I'm not saying, just to be clear, people use this term slut shaming all the time.
00:07:54.000 No, look, that's not, I'm not slut shaming anybody, okay?
00:07:57.000 That being said, look, can we all acknowledge that not most women are whores, okay?
00:08:06.000 Let's be clear about it.
00:08:07.000 Probably not even a plurality, okay?
00:08:10.000 But some are!
00:08:13.000 And it's a bad idea!
00:08:14.000 Are we not allowed to say that some are at this point?
00:08:17.000 I don't know if you're just going into it with the mindset of, I am going to sleep around.
00:08:22.000 Because it's my 20s, some women are!
00:08:27.000 And we'd like to thank your dad.
00:08:32.000 By that we mean stepdad.
00:08:36.000 And second stepdad.
00:08:37.000 Yes, and third Z's.
00:08:39.000 The one that didn't go to jail.
00:08:42.000 And the guy who kissed you at the PTA meeting.
00:08:45.000 Why don't you just find guys that are serious about you?
00:08:48.000 Don't settle for the guys that obviously aren't taking you seriously.
00:08:51.000 By the way, if you want to be taken seriously, be somebody that can be taken seriously as well.
00:08:54.000 It didn't quite look like that, but you're young, I get it.
00:08:56.000 It's this baseline. It's this baseline of, well, we're in our 20s, this is what we do.
00:08:59.000 Same thing happens in college. You know, I was in college, so I, you know, was getting ripped all the time.
00:09:03.000 Look, I drink. I'm not someone who, I don't drink a lot.
00:09:06.000 I have no problem with people who drink.
00:09:07.000 I have no problem with people who do these things responsibly.
00:09:10.000 But to say, well, the baseline is if you're in college, it's four years of glorified alcoholism.
00:09:15.000 It doesn't have to be that way.
00:09:17.000 And this is perpetuated by, of course, the entertainment industry saying, well, this is what women should do in your 20s.
00:09:21.000 This is what you should do in college.
00:09:22.000 No, no, no.
00:09:23.000 You can make good decisions at any point in your life.
00:09:26.000 And they're so dumbfounded.
00:09:27.000 No, that's not what we mean.
00:09:28.000 Well, what do you mean?
00:09:29.000 I mean, you know, have a bunch of relationships and sleep with a lot of guys.
00:09:32.000 OK, here's the issue.
00:09:33.000 And I will say, it is a double standard when people say, why am I a slut if I do this?
00:09:36.000 OK, that is true.
00:09:36.000 And men aren't.
00:09:39.000 Here's why.
00:09:40.000 You're the gatekeeper!
00:09:44.000 Women should say no.
00:09:45.000 And men should, of course, respect no.
00:09:47.000 To be clear.
00:09:49.000 Your set point, women, you control access to sex, right?
00:09:52.000 Because your natural set point is no, I don't know, prove your worth.
00:09:56.000 A man's natural set point is please!
00:09:58.000 So, you are the rate-limiting factor.
00:10:02.000 We've tried to empower women by stripping them of something with which they're powerful.
00:10:02.000 Take advantage of it.
00:10:06.000 The ability to pick a suitor.
00:10:09.000 You've given it away!
00:10:09.000 Yeah, you have, uh, you have value.
00:10:12.000 Yes!
00:10:13.000 You know?
00:10:14.000 You have inherent value!
00:10:16.000 Yeah, that you can use.
00:10:17.000 Like, if I ever hit rock bottom, I just can't go out and sell myself.
00:10:21.000 No, you can't!
00:10:21.000 No.
00:10:22.000 Well, you can.
00:10:23.000 It's just gonna be to other men.
00:10:24.000 Yes, exactly.
00:10:26.000 Conjugal visits.
00:10:28.000 And that being said, Dave, just so you know, you don't know how big of a heart this guy has.
00:10:31.000 He does the conjugal visits just to put a smile on their faces.
00:10:34.000 I do.
00:10:34.000 It is.
00:10:35.000 And they grin ear to ear.
00:10:37.000 Dave goes down to these hurricane stricken areas and he's like, guys, I'm open season, I know it's a tough time, come on.
00:10:42.000 My mouth is a hurricane.
00:10:43.000 It's his version of USO.
00:10:45.000 It's just FEMA and him and titty tassels.
00:10:47.000 I please them with a tornado.
00:10:50.000 That's what they call it, huh?
00:10:51.000 It's an F5!
00:10:53.000 Ah, it's more like an F1.
00:10:54.000 So this ties into... do we have it?
00:10:56.000 Megyn Kelly.
00:10:57.000 Megyn Kelly is catching flack right now.
00:10:59.000 And for whoever you line up, if you agree with Megyn Kelly or not... She looks like a penis, I'm sorry.
00:11:03.000 Oh, okay, okay.
00:11:04.000 There's a rocket going on, I know.
00:11:05.000 We're all children.
00:11:06.000 Guys, I'm a gay.
00:11:07.000 Oh boy.
00:11:08.000 I'm not.
00:11:08.000 That does, though.
00:11:09.000 So Megyn Kelly is catching flack.
00:11:11.000 For what she said.
00:11:11.000 People are mislabeling this, just saying she just called the Kardashians evil.
00:11:14.000 That's actually not what she said.
00:11:16.000 And I think she had a pretty good point.
00:11:18.000 And I think that she actually couched it pretty effectively.
00:11:21.000 And I think that a lot of women would do well to listen to it.
00:11:25.000 And by the way, men, you would do well to look for a woman who expresses these kinds of sentiments and values.
00:11:33.000 Let's roll Megyn Kelly.
00:11:33.000 It's just opinion.
00:11:36.000 What I object to, back on the Kardashians, is the Unrivaled vanity.
00:11:43.000 Like, the self-promotional, out-of-control, focus on one's self, ego, clicks, likes.
00:11:52.000 They're hugely responsible for that in our society.
00:11:55.000 They didn't do it by themselves, but more than any other, they've had a terrible effect in that lane.
00:12:00.000 And I do blame them.
00:12:02.000 I asked them.
00:12:02.000 I do.
00:12:03.000 I interviewed them and I said, are you a force for good or are you a force for evil?
00:12:07.000 And they gave me their answer.
00:12:09.000 But the more I've watched them over the years, the more I think, net-net, it's evil.
00:12:13.000 I don't think this is healthy.
00:12:14.000 And that's what I object to.
00:12:15.000 It's like they're disgusting vanity, which has spread like wildfire in our society.
00:12:20.000 The selfie culture is abhorrent to me.
00:12:23.000 I think that's what I'm responding to, as opposed to some titillation from a beautiful woman here and there.
00:12:28.000 And 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.
00:12:34.000 Look, I agree with what you said.
00:12:35.000 And people get really, they get really up in arms when you use the term evil.
00:12:38.000 Why?
00:12:38.000 Because that means you're making a moral judgment.
00:12:40.000 We're not allowed to do that anymore.
00:12:41.000 And if you say, well, hold on a second, maybe you shouldn't say that.
00:12:43.000 Is that slut shaming?
00:12:45.000 No.
00:12:46.000 Evil?
00:12:46.000 Well, what are you saying?
00:12:47.000 No, no, look, look.
00:12:48.000 You serve a master.
00:12:50.000 We 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.
00:12:56.000 That is true.
00:12:58.000 But, 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.
00:13:07.000 And 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.
00:13:19.000 It's the vanity.
00:13:20.000 It's the self-worship.
00:13:21.000 A lot of people think idolatry is a golden calf.
00:13:23.000 Look, no.
00:13:25.000 People idolize themselves.
00:13:26.000 It's self-worship.
00:13:27.000 You've created yourself as your own idol.
00:13:29.000 Doesn't mean that you can't be beautiful.
00:13:31.000 Doesn't mean that you shouldn't understand, like we just said, your worth, your value.
00:13:35.000 But that shouldn't be the value that supersedes everything else in your life.
00:13:39.000 And we really have placed an unbelievable premium on vanity, and unfortunately it is.
00:13:44.000 It's a path Right now it's the easiest path to success for a lot of young women.
00:13:49.000 You see it all the time.
00:13:50.000 I mean, young women, like, it wasn't an option, just only fans.
00:13:53.000 That's not healthy.
00:13:53.000 I just can't believe somebody insulted a Kardashian.
00:13:59.000 But she's catching flack for it, not because people hate the Kardashians, but they hate the moral judgment more.
00:13:59.000 Stepped out on a limb.
00:14:04.000 How dare you say that?
00:14:05.000 Look, it's her opinion.
00:14:06.000 I think she's right.
00:14:07.000 Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
00:14:09.000 I don't know.
00:14:10.000 Is it really a chicken or the egg thing, though?
00:14:12.000 I mean, you have to look at reality television came before them.
00:14:14.000 I mean, OJ, as a result, they were spawned off of that.
00:14:18.000 They're making money by whatever you want to call the influencing, whatever it is.
00:14:22.000 There's so much of that in our culture that I wouldn't just blame them.
00:14:25.000 I wouldn't be able to call them evil and not just say it's kind of part of the entire internet wave that we've created as a culture.
00:14:31.000 But she didn't call them evil.
00:14:33.000 She didn't say you're evil.
00:14:34.000 She's saying the culture of it can be.
00:14:36.000 She's saying, yes, are you a force for evil?
00:14:39.000 In other words, people may not realize it.
00:14:40.000 She's not saying you're an evil person, but ultimately it's an evil force.
00:14:43.000 Look, young women are unhappy and young men don't want to get married.
00:14:47.000 You can argue until you're blue in the face that what we're saying is wrong and it's offensive, but it's like, that's just a fact.
00:14:52.000 Women are less happy than ever.
00:14:55.000 In modern American history, fewer men than ever want to get married.
00:14:58.000 Not all women, but most women want to get married.
00:15:02.000 You're having slimmer and slimmer prospects.
00:15:06.000 Ultimately, are you being a force for good?
00:15:08.000 Really, this is an open-ended conversation.
00:15:09.000 I'd love to hear what you guys have to say about it.
00:15:11.000 I think it's more important than taxes.
00:15:14.000 That's just me.
00:15:17.000 Also, Velma's a lesbian.
00:15:20.000 Never could have seen that coming.
00:15:21.000 You talking about that lesbo from Scooby-Doo?
00:15:23.000 I'm talking about the lesbo from Scooby-Doo.
00:15:25.000 You talking about that ugly broad who has no prospects?
00:15:27.000 I guess switch teams?
00:15:29.000 And I would have gotten away with it too if not for those scissoring kids.
00:15:35.000 So, here's Scooby-Doo, now, uh, Velma, uh, this is, is now, I guess, officially or unofficially... Aw, jinkies.
00:15:44.000 Uh... What was it?
00:15:45.000 No, Zoinks, Screech?
00:15:47.000 Zoinks was them, yeah.
00:15:47.000 Zoinks!
00:15:49.000 I walked in and they were doing an Iron Cross!
00:15:53.000 If you think it's weird how Scooby-Doo eats a sandwich, you should see Velma.
00:15:58.000 Look what I found!
00:16:00.000 Was it a ghost?
00:16:00.000 No!
00:16:01.000 Bzzzzzz booked Kngnng Anna
00:16:07.000 Here we go.
00:16:07.000 Velma's a lesbian.
00:16:10.000 And as promised, here are your Scooby Snacks.
00:16:21.000 Jinkies.
00:16:23.000 I'm sure that Coco made some brilliant observations of the encounter we just had.
00:16:28.000 The cute ones, right?
00:16:30.000 Esteban, show them my brilliant observations.
00:16:33.000 Okay, so look, here's the macro.
00:16:37.000 I don't care if you want to have a lesbian character.
00:16:40.000 When 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.
00:16:51.000 Uh, but a very small percentage of the population.
00:16:53.000 So it necessitates a conversation with kids.
00:16:55.000 Hold on a second.
00:16:56.000 What is that?
00:16:56.000 Why is a woman making out with a woman?
00:16:59.000 Why are they having a romantic relationship?
00:17:01.000 Because it doesn't necessitate a sexual follow-up question if you just see a man and a woman.
00:17:04.000 Because that is the norm.
00:17:05.000 Right.
00:17:06.000 It does if it's a typical kids ask questions.
00:17:08.000 So I don't think it should be injected into kids shows.
00:17:10.000 The other thing, though, is look, there are plenty of lesbian characters and gay characters.
00:17:15.000 There's not a problem with that, right?
00:17:17.000 The BBC has it as low as references available at lateralthecardiot.com.
00:17:20.000 2021, they said 12%.
00:17:22.000 Of all U.S.
00:17:23.000 TV characters, we're LGBTQ.
00:17:24.000 And I've actually seen that number as high as 16%.
00:17:26.000 Let's call it 12-14%.
00:17:28.000 It's still at least more than double, likely triple, that of the pop.
00:17:32.000 There are plenty of gay and lesbian characters.
00:17:35.000 They're just not as popular.
00:17:36.000 So if we're gonna bitch about appropriation, why do you need to take a straight character and make her lesbian?
00:17:40.000 Just go make your own!
00:17:41.000 It's not our fault people don't want to watch it!
00:17:43.000 Just because we don't want to watch a bunch of cartoon women shop at Bass Pro!
00:17:49.000 That's true.
00:17:50.000 Fast Pro or Orbis.
00:17:51.000 This is the sexiest she's ever sat, by the way, which was a little bit weird.
00:17:55.000 Very high skirt there.
00:17:55.000 That was a little weird.
00:17:57.000 Yeah, and she's never really worn anything that low.
00:18:00.000 It was a Fox News camera.
00:18:01.000 Yeah, it was.
00:18:02.000 I want more legs.
00:18:03.000 Glass desks.
00:18:04.000 Roger Ailes presents Scooby-Doo.
00:18:06.000 I found the ghost of Ailes in the green room!
00:18:11.000 Oh boy, there's sectoplasm everywhere!
00:18:18.000 But that's the one mystery they couldn't solve.
00:18:20.000 She was always peeping Velma.
00:18:24.000 They'd pull off her mask and it's old man McNeely, the sex offender who runs like the haunted amusement park.
00:18:30.000 He's just dressed as Velma to hook high school girls.
00:18:36.000 I just thought Shaggy was bi because he just puts everything in his mouth.
00:18:39.000 Yes.
00:18:39.000 Oh, what?
00:18:41.000 Half the cartoons are going to start coming out of the closet.
00:18:44.000 Shira is what?
00:18:46.000 Daria?
00:18:47.000 Oh, yeah.
00:18:47.000 By the way, I might have some inside information on Francine from Arthur.
00:18:50.000 What?
00:18:52.000 I don't know.
00:18:53.000 I think SpongeBob is gay, but I don't know if that's true.
00:18:55.000 He's probably into weird stuff, though, because he's got a lot of holes.
00:18:57.000 He's a very convenient gay sponge.
00:18:59.000 Yes.
00:19:01.000 I think Peppermint Patty recently said she was gay.
00:19:03.000 Yeah, I believe Velma and Patty dated after Velma was dumped by Anne Heche.
00:19:08.000 You know, really, she just needs to find herself some cartoon Jesus.
00:19:11.000 Yes, she does.
00:19:12.000 Yes, she does.
00:19:12.000 Find you some cartoon Jesus!
00:19:15.000 Right now!
00:19:17.000 We go to look for the ghost, he's not there.
00:19:19.000 Uh-oh.
00:19:21.000 They ate a lot of old meats out of haunted places.
00:19:26.000 Yes, they did.
00:19:27.000 It's an old haunted mansion and you're just making a sandwich?
00:19:30.000 Right, yeah.
00:19:31.000 I don't get the ghost thing.
00:19:32.000 Why are you not sick all the time?
00:19:33.000 I don't understand.
00:19:34.000 It's to hide the AIDS.
00:19:34.000 They are.
00:19:35.000 Yes.
00:19:37.000 No, she's a lesbian.
00:19:38.000 Oh, no, I meant the other guys.
00:19:40.000 Oh, come on.
00:19:41.000 It's SpongeBob.
00:19:42.000 Just riddled with it.
00:19:44.000 Yeah, that's true.
00:19:45.000 Those aren't holes.
00:19:46.000 It's not even a sponge.
00:19:48.000 Let's move on to Elon Musk here.
00:19:50.000 Elon Musk.
00:19:51.000 Has 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.
00:20:00.000 That's what kind of surprised us is with the bots issue.
00:20:04.000 We thought that there would be, the deal fell through.
00:20:07.000 We thought, okay, there would be sort of a scaling back of the price of negotiation.
00:20:10.000 No, we're still at $44 billion and now it looks like it's going to go through.
00:20:13.000 Elon has agreed to purchase Twitter for that price.
00:20:15.000 Silicon Valley's latest soap opera looks like it might be coming to an end, with Musk saying today he's ready to buy.
00:20:23.000 But if Musk owns Twitter, will it be good for users?
00:20:27.000 And how about for business?
00:20:29.000 A professor of social media says, maybe.
00:20:32.000 Twitter might work better operationally under Musk.
00:20:36.000 He knows how to run companies and make money.
00:20:38.000 Twitter's been in chaos for a decade, cycling through various CEOs.
00:20:42.000 But what about the tone of a Musk-run Twitter?
00:20:45.000 He's never shied away from controversy, calling the platform's decision to ban Donald Trump, quote, morally wrong and flat-out stupid.
00:20:54.000 And I think that statement is morally simplistic and flat-out inaccurate.
00:20:58.000 He's also promised to bring Trump back to Twitter if the deal went through.
00:21:03.000 Here's a random lady saying something that's inconsequential.
00:21:06.000 News.
00:21:12.000 I think he's wrong.
00:21:13.000 Thank you.
00:21:14.000 What, does this guy on CNN have two abscesses?
00:21:17.000 Oh my goodness.
00:21:19.000 What is that?
00:21:20.000 That's the weirdest shaped face.
00:21:22.000 Is that an odd face?
00:21:24.000 It looks like he's in a mirror house.
00:21:26.000 It looks like a folded magazine rack.
00:21:31.000 What's his voice like?
00:21:32.000 I would imagine it sounds like this.
00:21:36.000 I cannot find a collar shirt to fit me worth a darn.
00:21:40.000 Everything hurts.
00:21:41.000 It's a silly play.
00:21:42.000 News!
00:21:43.000 Real news.
00:21:43.000 My point is, news isn't real.
00:21:45.000 It's been an illusion for so long.
00:21:47.000 A lot of people say, you can't trust the new media people.
00:21:49.000 They're just showing tweets and people just saying things.
00:21:52.000 I don't care.
00:21:53.000 I don't care!
00:21:55.000 So, couple of things here.
00:21:57.000 Question is, what's the long game?
00:21:58.000 What I do care about is, what's the long game, right?
00:22:01.000 For Elon Musk with Twitter.
00:22:03.000 And I also should note, you know, I lost like 10,000 Twitter followers overnight.
00:22:06.000 Yeah, the purge happened again yesterday.
00:22:08.000 It happened with Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Dave Rubin, Tim Pool.
00:22:11.000 Not to the same degree.
00:22:12.000 Remember when Elon Musk announced he was going to purchase Twitter?
00:22:15.000 We gained hundreds of thousands of followers over the course of a couple of weeks, right?
00:22:18.000 And he actually came out and he spoke out against the shadow banning, right?
00:22:21.000 The throttling.
00:22:22.000 And then they said, oh my gosh, he's gonna have access to our books.
00:22:24.000 The theory was, we don't know, all of a sudden we start gaining all these followers, we were showing up in people's feeds.
00:22:29.000 Now with this deal going through, obviously he's made a big stink about bots.
00:22:32.000 He said they've grossly underestimated the amount of bots, fake accounts.
00:22:36.000 Looks like the purchase is going through, and now accounts are being removed.
00:22:41.000 So 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
00:23:03.000 reasons for that change.
00:23:04.000 Yeah, absolutely. And I really do hope that he puts Donald Trump back on the platform immediately.
00:23:09.000 Right? And so we'll see. We'll see if the follower count goes back up.
00:23:12.000 Because if they did return to kind of their old ways, because the follower
00:23:15.000 counts kind of leveled off for a little while and they didn't really climb as much anymore.
00:23:19.000 And so if they've gone back to their old ways, hopefully this will be the thing that finally
00:23:22.000 breaks that trend. And Elon can be like, okay, let's just, people will follow whoever they want
00:23:27.000 Stop making it to where they can't be seen.
00:23:29.000 Right.
00:23:29.000 Okay.
00:23:30.000 Well, also the Twitter stock price, you know, it surged.
00:23:33.000 Yeah.
00:23:34.000 And 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.
00:23:42.000 A lot of these new media companies, these social media companies, they've had a tough time monetizing.
00:23:45.000 I don't even know if YouTube has yet to make a dime.
00:23:47.000 I know for years they didn't.
00:23:48.000 Maybe they have now.
00:23:50.000 So their currency is eyeballs and ears.
00:23:52.000 And so this is the market responding.
00:23:53.000 They obviously would believe, we're all making the presumption, that Elon Musk would be more supportive of an open platform.
00:24:01.000 So, in other words, the speculators are saying, hey, that'll be good for this company, whose currency is eyeballs and ears.
00:24:06.000 What does that mean?
00:24:07.000 That means that they're saying, they're making an inference, right?
00:24:10.000 They'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.
00:24:18.000 If 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.
00:24:25.000 When you hear the argument in media, it's, well, should they be doing more to remove people and make it safer?
00:24:32.000 Or should they be doing less and make, well, guess what?
00:24:34.000 The market has spoken.
00:24:35.000 Doing less, allowing more voices, is better for these companies.
00:24:41.000 These people have nothing other than a financial interest in trying to determine where this is going to go.
00:24:46.000 Elon Musk has said, I want this to be a more open platform.
00:24:48.000 I think there's not enough transparency.
00:24:51.000 There's too much shadow banning, throttling.
00:24:53.000 I think there are too many bots.
00:24:54.000 And then when we find out, OK, Elon Musk is going to be in charge of Twitter, so you can make the inference.
00:24:58.000 He's most likely going to make it a more open platform.
00:25:01.000 Speculators say, oh, maybe Twitter has a shot.
00:25:04.000 That's a silver lining.
00:25:05.000 That means more speech is better.
00:25:08.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:25:08.000 And also these big banks that joined in.
00:25:11.000 Like, a lot of this funding is coming from big banks, except for the one that I think Twitter was currently using.
00:25:16.000 They were the only people left out of the transaction.
00:25:18.000 I'm not kidding.
00:25:19.000 Elon 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.
00:25:28.000 It's like, oh, okay.
00:25:28.000 Right.
00:25:29.000 Thanks a lot.
00:25:30.000 Listen, will all the banks who will be involved with this new purchase step forward?
00:25:35.000 Not so fast.
00:25:36.000 All the confident banks, you stay back.
00:25:41.000 I'm saying that's what Donald Trump would do.
00:25:44.000 I think the broader point here is that obviously there's some value in buying a company, right?
00:25:48.000 So big picture issue is if you see a company and you say, okay, I like what they have, I can make it better.
00:25:55.000 I can do it in a way that they're not doing it right now.
00:25:57.000 I'm not just necessarily going to kind of incrementally improve the platform.
00:26:00.000 I can take it and make it something better.
00:26:02.000 I think that's what Elon is going after.
00:26:04.000 And we have some information about his relationship.
00:26:08.000 Before that, you know what else is big time? Important?
00:26:10.000 Hit the like button, that's what helps with the algorithm.
00:26:12.000 And by the way, every little time you hit the like button, a YouTube demon angel loses its wings.
00:26:20.000 They rip them off like a mayfly.
00:26:23.000 A blue haired lesbian becomes a blonde again.
00:26:25.000 They hate it. They hate it, so hit like.
00:26:28.000 And you had some information this year, some insight.
00:26:30.000 Yeah, so it's really interesting.
00:26:32.000 So some of the court documents about this, and that's come forward because of the lawsuit.
00:26:36.000 Make it not boring, Joe.
00:26:37.000 Yeah, saying that they were going to back out of the deal.
00:26:40.000 They actually show a relationship between Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk.
00:26:43.000 And so we've got some tweets on April 26.
00:26:45.000 Did Jack Dorsey try and sell him Wilson?
00:26:48.000 He did not.
00:26:49.000 Yeah, he wanted to hold on to that.
00:26:51.000 Elon!
00:26:52.000 Yes, a new platform is needed.
00:26:53.000 It can't be a company.
00:26:55.000 That is why I left.
00:26:56.000 And so Elon responded to it basically saying, OK, what should it look like?
00:26:59.000 And Dorsey said, I believe it should be an open source protocol.
00:27:01.000 Otherwise, we have surface area.
00:27:03.000 Interesting point here.
00:27:04.000 Surface area that governments and advertisers will try to influence and control.
00:27:08.000 Jack Dorsey's not for that.
00:27:10.000 Right.
00:27:10.000 In this comment.
00:27:11.000 He's not for the government stepping in and saying what you can and can't do.
00:27:13.000 He's not for advertisers directing you to shut up.
00:27:16.000 And it's what we've been saying forever and in front of the cameras Jack Dorsey's been saying no.
00:27:20.000 And now behind the scenes... He's been posturing.
00:27:20.000 Right.
00:27:22.000 I think I received three or four more notifications from Twitter this week that I was in violation of German law.
00:27:28.000 Because of speech codes.
00:27:28.000 Still.
00:27:29.000 So how can you be a business that's based in the United States and be beholden to German... Are you beholden to Chinese speech laws?
00:27:36.000 This is the issue, right?
00:27:37.000 And Jack Dorsey knows it's a problem.
00:27:39.000 But 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.
00:27:45.000 This is complete horse crap.
00:27:46.000 But we have to appease these guys because it's a market.
00:27:48.000 That's something Jack Dorsey has to do behind closed doors.
00:27:51.000 Just from a business perspective, he gets it.
00:27:53.000 It's not good.
00:27:53.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:27:54.000 And Elon's a dreamer, man.
00:27:55.000 He's trying to come up with these crazy, awesome ideas for the world sometimes.
00:27:59.000 Obviously, he benefits from a lot of these things, too.
00:28:01.000 But he said, here, super interesting idea.
00:28:03.000 And then Jack Dorsey tells him he's off of the Twitter board.
00:28:05.000 In a little while, I can do this work and fix our mistakes.
00:28:07.000 Twitter started as protocol.
00:28:08.000 It should have never been a company.
00:28:10.000 That was the original sin.
00:28:11.000 And then Elon comes in and says, I'd like to help if I'm able to.
00:28:16.000 So it's really interesting to see these two guys.
00:28:18.000 That would be the perfect combination.
00:28:19.000 Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey both kind of moving in the same direction.
00:28:22.000 Elon maintained ownership in X.com.
00:28:25.000 After the PayPal merger, after he left, he kept that with him, right?
00:28:28.000 He always loved having that company.
00:28:29.000 He wants it to be like, just so you know, it's like the everything app.
00:28:32.000 And so that's what he tweeted out, saying that this acquisition was an accelerant for that.
00:28:32.000 Right.
00:28:37.000 Maybe giving us a little bit of a glimpse as to why he thought Twitter was a good purchase in the first place.
00:28:42.000 It could be just a technology base.
00:28:43.000 It could be something that he's like, I can take what they have and make it so much more than it currently is.
00:28:48.000 And then it's worth a multiple of what he bought it for.
00:28:50.000 I don't trust Jack Dorsey.
00:28:52.000 You don't trust Jack?
00:28:52.000 No, I don't.
00:28:53.000 Why would I?
00:28:53.000 I don't either.
00:28:54.000 Why would I?
00:28:54.000 No.
00:28:55.000 Why are you surprised by that?
00:28:56.000 We just read private messages that seems like this guy's on the right side of this.
00:29:01.000 You're surprised I don't trust Jack Dorsey?
00:29:02.000 I am absolutely surprised.
00:29:03.000 Every time he's interviewed, he's in a suit with ear spreaders like he's in court.
00:29:07.000 Well, I don't trust that he knows fast.
00:29:08.000 Like gauged gross crits.
00:29:10.000 But I'm just, well.
00:29:10.000 Yeah.
00:29:11.000 Yeah.
00:29:12.000 Like a rich, gauged gross crits.
00:29:14.000 I thought it was the same guy.
00:29:14.000 Yeah, me too.
00:29:15.000 Yeah, he's got all of his... Yeah, I'm not gonna say it.
00:29:17.000 We'll probably get banned.
00:29:19.000 But no, he said the right things here.
00:29:21.000 If he's not just posturing for Elon... He did here.
00:29:25.000 Listen, if you are the CEO of this company, he's also the CEO of Square.
00:29:28.000 He has a responsibility to those companies.
00:29:30.000 Otherwise, he gets removed from being CEO and can't do anything about it, right?
00:29:34.000 So if he had to posture, I don't agree with it, but I understand it.
00:29:34.000 Yeah.
00:29:38.000 If now he's saying, I want to correct the original sin, fine.
00:29:41.000 Show me that you actually mean it, but it gives me some hope.
00:29:44.000 You're right.
00:29:45.000 I could just be jealous because I put all my investments in trapezoid.
00:29:48.000 That's true.
00:29:49.000 I prefer octagons.
00:29:49.000 Is that a thing?
00:29:50.000 The hell's that?
00:29:51.000 I want to throw my heavy tactical pen at him.
00:29:56.000 What do you think?
00:29:57.000 You trust the Jack Dorsey thing?
00:29:57.000 Look, comment below.
00:29:59.000 I do like Simmons behind the scenes.
00:30:03.000 Oh damn, you oblong!
00:30:05.000 Cuts to a guy whose face is just...
00:30:07.000 Without naming names, Dave, you and I know this.
00:30:09.000 Yes.
00:30:10.000 A lot of people who host these podcasts, even, and certainly a lot of people in the entertainment industry,
00:30:15.000 they are far more conservative behind the scenes.
00:30:17.000 Of course.
00:30:18.000 Than they let on.
00:30:19.000 Yes.
00:30:20.000 Even people who are like, I'm sort of middle of the road, centrist middle of the road people,
00:30:22.000 and I would never out them, but behind the scenes, you realize how right-wing they are.
00:30:26.000 Because what happens is, they start with speech.
00:30:29.000 They start with supporting the idea of freedom.
00:30:31.000 And 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.
00:30:40.000 And then the longer they go, you realize you can't really separate.
00:30:43.000 You can't separate these things.
00:30:44.000 When I see comedians, we'll talk about this tomorrow, like Bill Burr saying, what's wrong with socialism?
00:30:49.000 Well, 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.
00:31:03.000 You can't separate them.
00:31:05.000 And so people who maybe present themselves as centric, they are far more right-wing minded.
00:31:09.000 I run into it all the time and they say, you know, I'm just, I gotta play ball.
00:31:12.000 Yeah, 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.
00:31:21.000 I lean right in every facet.
00:31:25.000 Every guy knows you have to pick a side.
00:31:26.000 Do you go left or do you go right?
00:31:28.000 You don't have to pick a side.
00:31:29.000 Well... Dave, do you go left or do you go right?
00:31:29.000 You do.
00:31:31.000 I go right.
00:31:31.000 Yeah, I go right.
00:31:33.000 What, did you just go straight forward?
00:31:35.000 When you sit down and the jeans become a seam, it's like a high-tension cable wire.
00:31:35.000 You can't go straight forward.
00:31:38.000 What are you, build Hondas all day?
00:31:41.000 I just wear Z Cavaricci, so I have plenty of room.
00:31:43.000 I don't know what that means.
00:31:44.000 Okay.
00:31:45.000 Hammer pants.
00:31:47.000 Oh yeah!
00:31:48.000 I didn't know that's what they were called.
00:31:50.000 Cause he's all like, can't touch this.
00:31:54.000 I got plenty of room to touch this.
00:31:55.000 That's like him with all of his previously hard assets.
00:31:58.000 So speaking of it, we're going to get to the Nord Stream issue, okay?
00:32:06.000 And that's going to take a little bit of time.
00:32:08.000 So 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.
00:32:14.000 But before that, I do want to take a victory lap here.
00:32:18.000 I have been trying to get banned from TikTok since February of 2022 because it's run by communist bastards.
00:32:24.000 Now, they had banned me before, and then they decided they weren't going to ban me.
00:32:28.000 It was just too much work.
00:32:29.000 I hate having to upload crap to all of these different places, and their guidelines are incredibly strict.
00:32:34.000 So they wouldn't ban us when we were doing it.
00:32:36.000 We did the ban, ban me from TikTok segment for a long time, if you remember.
00:32:40.000 They never banned us.
00:32:40.000 Tried hard.
00:32:41.000 Now, here's my theory.
00:32:42.000 They banned us just two days ago.
00:32:44.000 I don't care.
00:32:44.000 days ago in the dead of night. I think they deliberately avoided banning us
00:32:47.000 when we were saying please ban us because they realized the optics would
00:32:50.000 look bad like well okay hold on he criticized the Chinese communist Chinese
00:32:53.000 government he said ban us we ban him that's going to look bad so they waited
00:32:55.000 until it died down and then they banned us recently. I don't care. Thank you.
00:33:02.000 Finally.
00:33:03.000 So, 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.
00:33:16.000 I can't in good conscience remain on the platform on TikTok.
00:33:19.000 I've already been banned like three times.
00:33:20.000 I 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.
00:33:24.000 I can just say, I can just say true things.
00:33:28.000 Okay, all right, let's try this for TikTok.
00:33:30.000 Mao's great leap forward led to the death of 45 million Chinese citizens.
00:33:33.000 Xi Jinping plagiarized your doctoral thesis.
00:33:37.000 On June 4th, 1989, the CCP murdered thousands of protesters at the Tiananmen Square.
00:33:41.000 The nine dash line isn't real.
00:33:46.000 End it for me.
00:33:47.000 Mercy.
00:33:48.000 Come on.
00:33:48.000 are ending and beginning now.
00:33:53.000 Time to close.
00:33:58.000 It's time to go to places where you go.
00:34:02.000 End it for me. Mercy. Come on.
00:34:03.000 Ban me.
00:34:04.000 I don't want to have to upload stuff to your platform anymore,
00:34:08.000 but I'm not going to do it myself.
00:34:10.000 China, I'm talking to you.
00:34:12.000 Not him, China, you.
00:34:13.000 I think all of us can say this in unity on the count of three.
00:34:17.000 Three, two, fuck the CCP!
00:34:21.000 Oh bother.
00:34:22.000 Arigato, which I know is Japanese, I don't know how to say thank you in Chinese.
00:34:32.000 How do you say thank you in one of the Chinese's?
00:34:36.000 In Mandarin?
00:34:38.000 Not the one they use in Hong Kong.
00:34:40.000 I don't know.
00:34:40.000 That's Cantonese.
00:34:41.000 Mandarin Cantonese.
00:34:41.000 I know.
00:34:42.000 Just so people don't go, oh you don't know anything.
00:34:44.000 The point is I'm trying to be offensive.
00:34:45.000 Do you bow?
00:34:45.000 You bow?
00:34:47.000 I don't know if you bow in China.
00:34:48.000 Do you bow in China?
00:34:49.000 I feel like you bow, they hit you over the head and put you in a Uyghur camp.
00:34:52.000 Maybe that is Japanese, the bow.
00:34:52.000 That's true.
00:34:58.000 That's how you say thank you.
00:35:00.000 I do know Japanese because of, uh, remember the Big Bird movie?
00:35:03.000 When 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.
00:35:03.000 Yeah.
00:35:09.000 What was it?
00:35:10.000 It was, uh, it was, uh... Sorry, that was, that was thank you in Chinese.
00:35:16.000 Let me hear it.
00:35:16.000 I caught that.
00:35:20.000 I don't trust that.
00:35:21.000 I feel like you're insulting me and not telling me.
00:35:24.000 Orogato means thank you.
00:35:27.000 That's my favorite one.
00:35:28.000 But one, two, three means ichi, ni, san.
00:35:31.000 If someone finds the Japanese song from... I haven't heard it in years.
00:35:35.000 It's... Something is good morning.
00:35:37.000 That's my favorite one.
00:35:39.000 But one, two, three.
00:35:40.000 I'm pretty close.
00:35:40.000 It's ichi, ni, san.
00:35:42.000 They're singing the big bird.
00:35:43.000 He's like, ichi, ni, san!
00:35:44.000 And then he gets, you know, like...
00:35:46.000 I don't know.
00:35:46.000 Oscar tried to sell him some crack.
00:35:47.000 I don't remember.
00:35:49.000 Oscar's a grouch.
00:35:51.000 I'm just sad we can't.
00:35:52.000 He's a homeless addict.
00:35:53.000 Was it to Dave Chappelle?
00:35:55.000 Like, Oscar's grouchy.
00:35:56.000 Bitch!
00:35:57.000 I live in a trash can!
00:35:58.000 You'd be angry too!
00:36:00.000 That's why your kid's stepping over homeless people.
00:36:02.000 Get it together, grouch.
00:36:07.000 Snuffleupagus.
00:36:08.000 I'm sick, bird.
00:36:10.000 I want some smack, bird.
00:36:11.000 Brought to you by the letter E. His pupils just... Maybe if you just gave him some painkillers, he'd be like, not that grouchy.
00:36:19.000 He's like, oh man, I feel pretty good.
00:36:21.000 Not to mention those Muppets who clearly had a stroke where the only word they can remember is yep.
00:36:25.000 Yeah, there's a lot going on on Sesame Street that I think is behind closed doors.
00:36:29.000 Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
00:36:31.000 Can you say anything else?
00:36:32.000 Yep, yep, yep.
00:36:33.000 Oh, it's Stroke Muppet.
00:36:34.000 Oh, he's fun.
00:36:35.000 Yeah, there's a stroke.
00:36:37.000 They can only say yep.
00:36:39.000 And I can say, as my grandfather had a stroke, he could only say yes.
00:36:41.000 He couldn't say no.
00:36:42.000 But he could sing Happy Birthday every single year to my dad.
00:36:44.000 Really?
00:36:45.000 Yeah, not to put a damper on it, but it's a different side of the brain.
00:36:47.000 My point is Sesame Street is awful, and a lot of them are likely pedophiles.
00:36:51.000 Allegedly.
00:36:52.000 So.
00:36:52.000 Elmo.
00:36:54.000 Allegedly.
00:36:56.000 I have a story about that.
00:36:56.000 I don't know if we'll get banned for it.
00:36:57.000 You know, that guy, Elmo, he said he had consensual relationships.
00:37:00.000 Okay, look, I'm sorry.
00:37:01.000 Today's one of those days.
00:37:03.000 Just go with me here.
00:37:04.000 The guy did the Elmo voice, right?
00:37:06.000 He claimed it was a consensual sexual relationship with young men while he was married.
00:37:11.000 The allegations, there were many, were that these people were underage, like 16 years old.
00:37:15.000 Okay, here's the thing.
00:37:16.000 They fired him at Sesame Street, or he resigned.
00:37:20.000 But if you go and watch the Dark Crystal making of the show, he's there.
00:37:25.000 Really?
00:37:25.000 He's there puppeteering.
00:37:26.000 Yeah.
00:37:26.000 So in other words, it was clearly just for show.
00:37:28.000 So whether he did it or not, he obviously had done something, or the situation was untenable, where they wanted him to resign publicly.
00:37:34.000 But 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.
00:37:39.000 But the making of documentary, you can see that alleged pedophile Elmo puppeteer right there.
00:37:44.000 And at one point, I swear to you, he almost looks away from the camera.
00:37:47.000 Like they're showing, look, this is how we do it.
00:37:48.000 And he's like, uh oh.
00:37:49.000 Uh oh.
00:37:51.000 Oh, that's creepy.
00:37:51.000 I just thought it was creepy.
00:37:52.000 I thought it was creepy.
00:37:54.000 Why risk it?
00:37:55.000 Why have them involved with anything that has to do with children? Are you old enough to drive that makes Elmo say?
00:37:55.000 Why risk it?
00:38:01.000 Five nos and a yes means we're doing this Little little wire moves the hand
00:38:23.000 Meow!
00:38:25.000 Right there!
00:38:26.000 You hold the puppet.
00:38:28.000 Do you know Elmo's song?
00:38:30.000 Is it Elmo's role?
00:38:31.000 No, it's... Shh!
00:38:32.000 Don't tell!
00:38:34.000 Do you want Elmo to hurt your sister?
00:38:38.000 Elmo has a picture of your dog tied up in his closet.
00:38:43.000 Elmo doesn't want to hurt your dog.
00:38:47.000 That'd make Elmo sad.
00:38:49.000 Put on this latex.
00:38:54.000 Take me down to Sesame Street.
00:38:59.000 But you buy the letter S!
00:39:02.000 Ay!
00:39:03.000 Ice tea comes in.
00:39:06.000 You're a pedophile, Elmo.
00:39:08.000 You beat your wife!
00:39:12.000 Elmo's punchy, wow.
00:39:16.000 That's true.
00:39:19.000 Where's Coco?
00:39:21.000 Icing her eye.
00:39:22.000 I only said it because he did the advertisements against domestic abuse.
00:39:26.000 I was like, I don't buy it.
00:39:28.000 He's like, take it from me.
00:39:31.000 Domestic abuse is bad.
00:39:32.000 It's bad.
00:39:33.000 Take it from this bitch.
00:39:36.000 I got sentenced to four commercials.
00:39:40.000 I gotta do car shoes.
00:39:41.000 He zooms out, he has a pokey stick, he's picking up trash.
00:39:45.000 Stop eating you bitches.
00:39:46.000 Alright.
00:39:48.000 Picking up tiny furry Elmo condoms.
00:39:55.000 It's just ribbed felt.
00:40:00.000 All right, all right.
00:40:01.000 We've got to get to the Nord Stream.
00:40:03.000 I 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.
00:40:09.000 I want to be clear.
00:40:10.000 We don't have all of the answers.
00:40:11.000 Anyone who tells you they have all the answers is lying.
00:40:14.000 I do have my suspicions.
00:40:15.000 Gerald has his suspicions, and all references are available at ladderwithcreditor.com.
00:40:19.000 I try and tell you if I'm making an inference or if I'm making a guess.
00:40:22.000 We are putting together some guesswork today because the information is just hitting you constantly.
00:40:28.000 There's no way around it.
00:40:30.000 I was going to say something else about Elmo, but now I lost it.
00:40:32.000 Okay.
00:40:33.000 So let me start with this.
00:40:36.000 A big problem here that we're dealing with and we're talking about, none of this should matter as it relates to the United States.
00:40:40.000 Nord Stream.
00:40:43.000 Because we shouldn't be dependent on anybody.
00:40:45.000 And I'll get to that back in a second.
00:40:46.000 You know what?
00:40:47.000 The left understands this.
00:40:48.000 Nationalism is good for the environment.
00:40:51.000 Let me give you an analogy before I get to that.
00:40:53.000 You know how the left knows this is the case?
00:40:56.000 Homesteading.
00:40:58.000 Right?
00:40:58.000 Living off the grid.
00:41:00.000 Well, why can you be more green?
00:41:03.000 Why can you be more effective?
00:41:04.000 And, you know, the idea is that you'll have less waste.
00:41:07.000 Less waste.
00:41:07.000 That you'll be more efficient with your energy.
00:41:09.000 Why can you do that if you have your own individual generator power?
00:41:12.000 Oh, 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?
00:41:21.000 Let's just expand that to national borders.
00:41:23.000 Of 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.
00:41:32.000 Take your pick.
00:41:33.000 Of course we would!
00:41:34.000 We should all be responsible for our own energy in the perfect world, if we could be.
00:41:37.000 The good news is, in the United States, we absolutely can be.
00:41:40.000 We choose not to be, and so we are beholden to these nations.
00:41:44.000 Uh, 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.
00:41:57.000 So, that's to set this up.
00:41:59.000 Now we'll go to Nord Stream, okay?
00:42:01.000 Last week, Nord Stream 1 and 2, you know, they were both seemingly sabotaged.
00:42:04.000 So, uh, my question to you is, who do you think sabotaged Nord Stream?
00:42:07.000 Before we get into this.
00:42:11.000 Today, right now, Joe Biden, former Vice President Joe Biden, now is talking tough and blaming Putin and the Russians.
00:42:20.000 It was a deliberate act of sabotage, and now the Russians are pumping out disinformation in lines.
00:42:27.000 We're going to work with our allies to get to the bottom of exactly what, precisely what happened.
00:42:32.000 And at my direction, I've already begun to help our allies enhance the protection of this critical infrastructure.
00:42:38.000 But the Anglo-Saxons have had enough of sanctions.
00:42:41.000 They have switched to sabotage.
00:42:42.000 It's incredible, but it's a fact.
00:42:44.000 They have organized explosions on the international gas lines of the Northern Stream, which run along the bottom of the Balkan Sea.
00:42:51.000 In fact, they have begun to destroy the general European energy infrastructure.
00:42:58.000 Okay, so Biden is talking tough on Putin right now, which I don't have a problem with.
00:43:07.000 I think Putin's a prick, just to be clear.
00:43:10.000 None of this is Russian apologetics, if that's a term that I can use appropriately.
00:43:13.000 Because you'll be accused of it.
00:43:14.000 Yes, you'll be accused of it.
00:43:15.000 So, people have said that there are conspiracies floating around.
00:43:20.000 that the United States or former Vice President Joe Biden himself may be directly involved with the sabotage.
00:43:25.000 That's a conspiracy, but you may hold some of those conspiratorial views because then,
00:43:33.000 not too long ago, former Vice President Joe Biden said he might do this to Nord Stream 2.
00:43:39.000 If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again.
00:43:49.000 Then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2.
00:43:54.000 We will bring an end to it.
00:43:57.000 Seems pretty clear.
00:43:59.000 How will you do that?
00:44:03.000 Exactly.
00:44:04.000 Since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control.
00:44:09.000 We will.
00:44:10.000 I promise you we'll be able to do it.
00:44:12.000 Yeah.
00:44:13.000 What are you, Alex Jones?
00:44:17.000 Yeah.
00:44:19.000 What could possibly make you think that former Vice President Joe Biden would have a vested interest in ending Nord Stream?
00:44:27.000 Aside from he said it?
00:44:29.000 It's true.
00:44:29.000 Right.
00:44:30.000 Also, sir, we're in kind of a dim room.
00:44:33.000 Why are you squinting like you're looking into the sun?
00:44:35.000 Sir, is that a healthy thing?
00:44:39.000 No.
00:44:40.000 It's not.
00:44:41.000 I'm horribly unhealthy.
00:44:42.000 So, there's Joe Biden.
00:44:44.000 Has anyone else seen all these stars?
00:44:46.000 I smell burnt toast.
00:44:48.000 I taste pennies.
00:44:49.000 Here's what it's not. I know what you could say. Former Vice President Joe Biden talks tough. He's an idiot. Sure.
00:44:54.000 Sorry. Respect the office. He's an idiot. So here's what the Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria
00:45:02.000 Newland, had to say about not just Joe Biden talking tough about Nord Stream 2 in December.
00:45:09.000 As we discussed last night in some detail, what we are talking about would amount to essentially isolating Russia
00:45:18.000 completely from the global financial system with all of the fallout that that would entail for Russian business, for
00:45:26.000 the Russian people, for their ability to to work and travel and trade.
00:45:32.000 One 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.
00:45:52.000 I certainly hope that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee would take up legislation to go beyond just suspending it, but from ending it permanently.
00:46:01.000 Okay, so you have them saying, okay, ending it permanently, that's kind of vague.
00:46:03.000 Then you have Joe Biden twice saying, we will put an end to it.
00:46:07.000 Trust me, we can do it.
00:46:07.000 We have our ways.
00:46:09.000 Now, let me be clear about a couple things.
00:46:11.000 Something here that's sort of a macro point.
00:46:13.000 Do you notice when people say, oh, well, cancel culture isn't a thing, the government's not arresting you.
00:46:18.000 Now, of course, in every country that's not the United States, you are arrested for what you say.
00:46:21.000 But 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.
00:46:30.000 That's what happens to all of you if you engage in wrong think.
00:46:33.000 So 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!
00:46:49.000 No, no, we're just going to remove your ability to make a living.
00:46:51.000 That's exactly what they do internationally.
00:46:52.000 That's the most effective tool.
00:46:54.000 You realize wars were fought just over basic territory, over farmland.
00:46:59.000 You don't think that people would have fought?
00:47:00.000 It wouldn't have been a war over the ability to make a living because the government can pinch that valve entirely?
00:47:05.000 So just keep that in mind the next time people say it's not a First Amendment issue if all that's at stake is your livelihood.
00:47:10.000 So we'll get to it.
00:47:11.000 There's Russia.
00:47:11.000 There's Ukraine.
00:47:12.000 There's the United States.
00:47:13.000 Potentially, who could have done this?
00:47:14.000 There are a lot of conspiracies around.
00:47:16.000 There'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.
00:47:26.000 So that is something that, yeah.
00:47:30.000 I knew it.
00:47:32.000 Undersea.
00:47:33.000 When I... Undersea.
00:47:36.000 He's like, where's the throat?
00:47:42.000 On deadly water.
00:47:43.000 That's so terrible.
00:47:46.000 Boil down below.
00:47:47.000 Under the law.
00:47:48.000 Under the law.
00:47:55.000 Hi-yah.
00:47:56.000 He would name it that and be like, when I take aim at energy pipelines, bad things happen.
00:48:01.000 Was he sitting in that photoshop?
00:48:04.000 Yes, of course.
00:48:05.000 He can't stand anymore.
00:48:06.000 I didn't see that!
00:48:11.000 Hey, good job!
00:48:14.000 Someone put him in a lazy boy recliner underwater.
00:48:18.000 Wonderful photoshop!
00:48:19.000 I missed that!
00:48:20.000 That is fantastic.
00:48:22.000 Yeah, because the last eight movies he's made, he's like, I'll be sitting the whole time.
00:48:26.000 Yes, exactly.
00:48:27.000 I look more powerful.
00:48:28.000 His stunt double is more unrealistic than when the Power Rangers would all turn into like, you know, twelve-year-old Japanese gymnasts.
00:48:36.000 His stunt double is, uh, you just have to stand for Mr. Seagal.
00:48:38.000 His stunt double is just a fat guy in a wheelchair.
00:48:44.000 Just a hologram of Larry Flint?
00:48:46.000 Yeah.
00:48:46.000 Alright!
00:48:48.000 So, we have to ask ourselves, okay, what exactly has happened with the Nord Stream pipelines?
00:48:52.000 Okay.
00:48:53.000 First, really quickly, let's take a look at the pipelines.
00:48:55.000 They run from Russia, under the Baltic Sea, to Germany.
00:48:58.000 Okay?
00:48:59.000 Property of a Russian state-owned energy company, Gazprom, and of course that's why Putin is one of the wealthiest people in the world.
00:49:05.000 It's all completely ill-gotten gain.
00:49:06.000 He stole it.
00:49:07.000 Yeah.
00:49:08.000 I don't think that these people should be included in the wealthiest people on the planet list.
00:49:11.000 Whether 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.
00:49:22.000 Even though I don't like those people, I think there's a difference between actually earning your money versus stealing it.
00:49:26.000 Okay.
00:49:27.000 So, September 26th.
00:49:29.000 Three separate leaks.
00:49:30.000 Nord Stream 1 and 2, right?
00:49:31.000 These were recorded.
00:49:32.000 Just for those of you who don't know, here is exactly what it looked like.
00:49:40.000 Looks a little bit more than the leak.
00:49:42.000 I did that!
00:49:43.000 Very dramatic.
00:49:44.000 Very dramatic.
00:49:51.000 Yeah.
00:49:56.000 Okay so we were kind of going through this this morning, and like I said this is a bit
00:50:00.000 We have to go through what would be the motivations for Russia, for Ukraine, for the United States.
00:50:05.000 Okay, what would be Russia's motivation for sabotage?
00:50:08.000 And by the way, again, hit the like button, it helps the algorithm.
00:50:10.000 I would really like to hear what you think.
00:50:12.000 I'm kind of 60-40.
00:50:13.000 Remember last week, we were talking about the nukes?
00:50:16.000 Same kind of thing.
00:50:18.000 I don't think it's completely out of the realm of possibility that the United States has played a role in this.
00:50:23.000 Right.
00:50:23.000 Not saying they sent in, you know, Jesse Ventura with the underwater demolitions unit to, you know, prick the pipeline.
00:50:29.000 But I think that there could have been some shots called from the United States.
00:50:32.000 So what would be Russia's motivation for the sabotage?
00:50:34.000 Okay.
00:50:34.000 Well first off, 35% of all EU gas comes from Russia.
00:50:37.000 Okay?
00:50:39.000 Here would be maybe one reason.
00:50:41.000 Germany, they already froze the Nord Stream 2 project two days before Russia invaded Ukraine.
00:50:45.000 Russia had stopped all the gas flows through Nord Stream 1.
00:50:49.000 Right.
00:50:50.000 So that was the leverage, right?
00:50:52.000 That 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.
00:51:00.000 Make sure you guys save as much as you can on energy, because we might not have any.
00:51:00.000 Right.
00:51:04.000 J. William, our agent, he was in Paris.
00:51:07.000 Nothing like perpetuating the original stereotype.
00:51:08.000 He was in Paris, and he was saying it's so cold, they shut off the heat.
00:51:12.000 So 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.
00:51:19.000 Oh, there are.
00:51:20.000 Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
00:51:21.000 Because 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.
00:51:28.000 You're going to have to burn, by God, we're going to have to burn wood.
00:51:31.000 Wouldn't it be great if that giant nuclear plant wasn't closed down last month?
00:51:35.000 And so, basically, the European Union, right, the EU, all these countries are saying, like, hey, Russia, you better not.
00:51:40.000 And 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.
00:51:46.000 And then everyone says, oh, so this shouldn't affect you.
00:51:48.000 They go, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait.
00:51:49.000 We said we would move off Russian energy eventually.
00:51:53.000 Yes, one of these days.
00:51:54.000 Because right now, Russia's saying, OK, there's no time like the present.
00:51:57.000 Yeah.
00:51:57.000 Right?
00:51:58.000 That's their leverage right there.
00:51:59.000 Because you can't threaten a country.
00:52:01.000 Right.
00:52:02.000 That way to try and cripple them economically and not expect some ramifications.
00:52:06.000 That's a strong case for why Russia might have done this.
00:52:08.000 So Russia is in a position, especially Putin right now, where he's losing power.
00:52:08.000 Right.
00:52:12.000 He'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.
00:52:18.000 They don't believe in it that much.
00:52:19.000 They're not defending their homeland.
00:52:21.000 They're invading another country.
00:52:23.000 Right?
00:52:23.000 So in his mind, if the economics have been removed from the situation already, He can do this and then say, the West has attacked us.
00:52:23.000 Right.
00:52:34.000 Right.
00:52:34.000 So that's a bit of, it's a stretch.
00:52:34.000 Right.
00:52:36.000 This is all conjecture.
00:52:37.000 What you're saying, just to be clear, you're being a little bit convoluted.
00:52:40.000 What 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.
00:52:47.000 so that he can say look at what they're doing. Look at the evil devil.
00:52:50.000 But there's a two-pronged benefit there for them is they also get to harm the rest of Europe because they shut
00:52:57.000 off their energy. Yeah, they shut off their energy and say fine if
00:52:59.000 you want to be independent from us then we'll see how you like that during
00:53:02.000 the winter. Now the Ukrainian people would also kind of benefit
00:53:07.000 from this.
00:53:07.000 If Russia is blamed for this or if the United States is blamed for this, either way they kind of win, right?
00:53:14.000 Because 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.
00:53:24.000 So 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.
00:53:29.000 So 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.
00:53:37.000 Money well spent.
00:53:38.000 Last week, something like that, right?
00:53:40.000 So 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.
00:53:52.000 Right.
00:53:52.000 So they were kind of towards the end of that game anyway.
00:53:55.000 Right.
00:53:55.000 So this is basically, all right, Europe, go ahead.
00:53:58.000 Go ahead and do it without us.
00:53:59.000 And they get to say, well, look, if the Americans did this and harmed the pipeline, look how bad it is.
00:54:04.000 Imagine if we did it ourselves, which we did not do!
00:54:09.000 This time we did not do.
00:54:10.000 It is America.
00:54:11.000 But we could do.
00:54:13.000 We didn't do.
00:54:13.000 But we could.
00:54:14.000 We have capabilities.
00:54:15.000 But we could.
00:54:15.000 But we didn't.
00:54:16.000 Be much worse for you.
00:54:17.000 That's what they're trying to do.
00:54:18.000 Now, what would be America's motivation for the sabotage here?
00:54:22.000 Again, there's speculation.
00:54:23.000 Okay, here's one.
00:54:25.000 The gas from Russia to Europe, it really is the only source of revenue for Moscow.
00:54:29.000 It's the primary source.
00:54:30.000 It is the driver.
00:54:31.000 If it goes away, this nation ceases to be.
00:54:33.000 Nord Stream 2 alone, you're talking about tens of billions of euros.
00:54:37.000 Uh, something else, another reason, these pipelines, they bypass Eastern Europe, right?
00:54:40.000 They take away revenue from countries like Ukraine.
00:54:42.000 I think it's like three billion dollars a year.
00:54:42.000 Right.
00:54:46.000 From Ukraine.
00:54:46.000 Right.
00:54:47.000 Yeah.
00:54:48.000 That's also, by the way, that's the, uh, that's the speaking fee for Zelinsky.
00:54:51.000 No, no, that's the private, uh, stand-up performance.
00:54:54.000 Yes.
00:54:54.000 Yes.
00:54:55.000 Did I show you the bit where he's playing the piano with his penis?
00:54:58.000 Huh?
00:54:59.000 I'm sorry, no.
00:54:59.000 Wow.
00:55:00.000 Yeah, 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.
00:55:11.000 He'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!
00:55:18.000 See?
00:55:19.000 So it's better than any speech Biden has given?
00:55:21.000 Yes!
00:55:24.000 If he would have just answered every question by playing the piano with his dong, you'd be like, alright, Joe.
00:55:28.000 I think I'd vote for him.
00:55:31.000 By the way, here's a... That is amazingly bad.
00:55:33.000 Oh, well, I'll find it.
00:55:34.000 You didn't see this?
00:55:35.000 Yeah, it's unbelievable.
00:55:36.000 I went down the rabbit hole of Zelinsky's stand-up after we talked about it yesterday.
00:55:36.000 No, I didn't.
00:55:40.000 I thought it would just be the one clip.
00:55:42.000 Nope, there's more.
00:55:43.000 Oh, dear.
00:55:44.000 It was like Dancing with the Stars.
00:55:46.000 It was like Dancing with Zelinsky.
00:55:47.000 He was on every reality show.
00:55:49.000 There's so much that exists of awful... We have it.
00:55:54.000 There's so many of those shows and all those... Do we have it?
00:55:56.000 Do you want to do it?
00:55:56.000 Yeah, we have it.
00:55:57.000 Let's do it.
00:55:58.000 Okay, so by the way, this is...
00:56:01.000 I don't even know how to set that.
00:56:02.000 Like I said, they're just two awful places.
00:56:05.000 Russia, 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.
00:56:17.000 Stop.
00:56:18.000 T.
00:56:19.000 And their pants are down around their ankles, by the way.
00:56:19.000 C.
00:56:25.000 That's enough.
00:56:31.000 Ha ha ha ha!
00:56:33.000 Those guys are laughing because they'll get shot if they don't.
00:56:38.000 I rarely use the term offensive.
00:56:41.000 I'm at a loss for words here.
00:56:43.000 Your face on this is hilarious.
00:56:45.000 You know what's crazy?
00:56:49.000 They were really doing it.
00:56:53.000 I guess it's not bad if they're really doing it.
00:56:55.000 I don't think they're really doing it.
00:56:56.000 He would have been a minor key.
00:56:57.000 There's a real talent.
00:56:59.000 One was playing the whites. Yes. What is imagine what he does with a toy store with a big one and big piano like a
00:57:09.000 big. Yeah. So. Reeks. That's.
00:57:14.000 Slip and slides it.
00:57:15.000 He's just doing it the same way.
00:57:19.000 Just both of them.
00:57:21.000 Robert Loge's old balls.
00:57:24.000 Some of the time, one spends writing to craft a joke, and he's like, oh, I could just out of sync fake slam my wiener on a piano.
00:57:33.000 Yeah, and there's somebody else who's like, can I do that with you?
00:57:36.000 Yes.
00:57:37.000 Yeah.
00:57:38.000 There's some agent like, no, no, what you got here is a duo act.
00:57:40.000 Yeah.
00:57:41.000 Why would you do it just you?
00:57:42.000 Why would you do it just you?
00:57:43.000 I can make two stars.
00:57:44.000 Two penises is always better than one.
00:57:46.000 Yes.
00:57:46.000 Like Martin and Lewis.
00:57:49.000 Oh boy.
00:57:50.000 Lewis and Clark!
00:57:51.000 Or Lois and Clark!
00:57:52.000 Point is, your dick needs to be on those ivory keys!
00:57:56.000 No!
00:57:57.000 No!
00:58:00.000 Casey got him on that one.
00:58:02.000 Sorry.
00:58:02.000 When it's such a boring topic like Nord Stream.
00:58:04.000 That's when you testicle the ivories.
00:58:08.000 Ah, son of a gun.
00:58:11.000 I don't even know if you guys are tracking this.
00:58:12.000 No, no, no, I call what you said and I'm aware that it's now soundbite.
00:58:16.000 Okay, thank you.
00:58:17.000 It's not even, by the way, they're not even in sync.
00:58:19.000 Like 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.
00:58:31.000 Yeah.
00:58:32.000 But 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.
00:58:39.000 Like, okay, it's different, it's weird, but I mean, compared to, like, what you might get in France, which is, you know, some clown in a papier-mâché hat, and they laugh their ass off, like, okay, this is a decent comedy coming out of Europe.
00:58:48.000 That is just lazy penis piano playing.
00:58:51.000 Back to Nord Stream.
00:58:53.000 Columbia 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.
00:59:01.000 Jeff, we've got to stop there.
00:59:02.000 That's quite a statement as well.
00:59:04.000 Why do you feel that that was a U.S.
00:59:07.000 action?
00:59:08.000 What evidence do you have of that?
00:59:11.000 Well, first of all, there's direct radar evidence that U.S.
00:59:14.000 helicopters, military helicopters that are normally based in Gdansk, were circling over this area.
00:59:21.000 We also had the threats from the United States earlier in this year that, one way or another, we are going to end Nord Stream.
00:59:29.000 We also have a remarkable statement by Secretary Blinken last Friday in a press conference.
00:59:33.000 He says, this is also a tremendous opportunity.
00:59:38.000 Sorry, it's a strange way to talk if you're worried about the piracy on international infrastructure of vital significance.
00:59:47.000 So I know this runs counter to our narrative.
00:59:50.000 You're not allowed to say these things in the West.
00:59:54.000 But the fact of the matter is, all over the world, when I talk to people, they think the U.S.
01:00:00.000 did it.
01:00:01.000 Thank you, Napoleon Dynamite's uncle.
01:00:04.000 He's a crazy, he's one of those crazy conspiracy theorists who's a professor at Columbia.
01:00:09.000 We also have the Polish MP, former foreign minister Radek Sikorski thanked the United States on Twitter saying, thank you USA.
01:00:17.000 Now, that doesn't mean that it's true.
01:00:20.000 It just means that there's enough smoke there where a significant number of players internationally believe there could be fire.
01:00:27.000 My only point is this.
01:00:28.000 Don'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.
01:00:35.000 Because that's what the media is trying to memory hole, what Biden said.
01:00:37.000 Right.
01:00:38.000 And it's incredibly reckless for the administration to say stuff like they said earlier.
01:00:43.000 And also, we didn't play one of the clips from Victoria Nuland.
01:00:45.000 She actually went further and said that we would end it.
01:00:49.000 There was a more precise clip at a briefing that she was giving.
01:00:52.000 And people look at her and go, oh, she's the one that pushed for the Ukrainian government to be overthrown in 2014.
01:00:58.000 She's the one that pushed for the Iraq war.
01:01:00.000 I'm starting to see a little bit of a trend here with this war hawk essentially going out there and pushing.
01:01:04.000 So if Biden is taking instructions from anybody that has anything to do with her, it's very likely That that could have happened, right?
01:01:11.000 And it's very dangerous for the administration to be so obvious with it.
01:01:15.000 If 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.
01:01:24.000 Right.
01:01:24.000 I 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.
01:01:32.000 I didn't say those words.
01:01:36.000 You said it.
01:01:37.000 Name that reference, by the way.
01:01:38.000 Comment below.
01:01:43.000 Don't ruin it.
01:01:43.000 I want to see if people get it.
01:01:44.000 I don't know it.
01:01:45.000 It's a great one.
01:01:46.000 That's a fantastic one.
01:01:48.000 Do you know the one I'm talking about?
01:01:49.000 I do.
01:01:50.000 It's the tuba.
01:01:52.000 Which we can't say anymore.
01:01:52.000 It's one of the funniest things that's ever been on the internet.
01:01:54.000 Okay.
01:01:55.000 So here's something else that I want you to sort of focus on.
01:01:57.000 This should be highlighting.
01:01:59.000 I don't want to say should.
01:02:00.000 To me, this does highlight something more important.
01:02:03.000 And I will say emphatically, ah, you shouldn't speak in absolutes.
01:02:07.000 Green energy policies, and certainly how we've pursued them here in the United States, we all know that it's horrible economically.
01:02:13.000 We all know that it's deadly for human beings, right?
01:02:15.000 Because as energy prices go up, you know, I think right now it's 3, is it 3.70 something for gas across the country?
01:02:20.000 Significantly less expensive.
01:02:21.000 It's about to go up, by the way.
01:02:22.000 OPEC just raised it.
01:02:23.000 It's about to go up.
01:02:23.000 Right.
01:02:24.000 In Michigan, it's not even close to that.
01:02:26.000 I was there recently.
01:02:27.000 What is it in Michigan?
01:02:28.000 It's like four.
01:02:29.000 Really?
01:02:30.000 And then it was like almost still five something for premium.
01:02:30.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:02:33.000 I've noticed the gap in Michigan and it didn't used to be as severe between Michigan and Texas.
01:02:37.000 I would have to look at sort of state policies and why that is.
01:02:39.000 If Texas was, you know, if Texas was, you know, like when Donald Trump was president, it was like a buck eighty nine.
01:02:44.000 In Michigan it was like maybe like a buck ninety nine.
01:02:45.000 Yeah.
01:02:46.000 Now it's a huge gap.
01:02:47.000 It's almost like California.
01:02:48.000 It's like thirty cents.
01:02:49.000 And keep in mind for you that's inconvenient and it sucks.
01:02:49.000 Right.
01:02:52.000 And 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?
01:03:00.000 That being said, do count your blessings because for people in third world countries, it's deadly.
01:03:04.000 They die.
01:03:05.000 They die.
01:03:06.000 If they can't afford energy.
01:03:07.000 So, 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.
01:03:17.000 We all know that it kills millions of people, right?
01:03:21.000 There 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.
01:03:40.000 Now, remember this, and this is highlighted with Nord Stream, 2018 Donald Trump warned the Europeans about being dependent on what?
01:03:49.000 On what?
01:03:50.000 And 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?
01:03:58.000 said? Yeah, the 1980s are calling, they want your foreign policy back. Yep, he said, exactly.
01:04:02.000 Yeah. I was gonna do it in Obama's voice, but you did better. He said that in the debates,
01:04:07.000 and they're the ones vilifying Russia. Again, keep in mind, the Republicans, conservatives,
01:04:12.000 have been presenting very logical, right, very reasonable arguments.
01:04:15.000 Hey, there's actually a problem with dependence on Russian energy.
01:04:17.000 That's just fear-mongering.
01:04:19.000 You know, Red Dawn called.
01:04:20.000 They want you to be in their casting call.
01:04:22.000 Whatever the hell it is that he said.
01:04:25.000 And then they go, Russia's evil.
01:04:26.000 Whereas we were saying, well, regardless of whether Russia's evil or not, we're not calling them evil.
01:04:29.000 We just shouldn't be dependent.
01:04:30.000 And Europe has a problem being beholden to a very unstable country.
01:04:35.000 So Donald Trump in 2018 warned the Europeans about being dependent on Russian energy.
01:04:41.000 Now, if you don't remember the reaction, it's not that they said, well, maybe we disagree.
01:04:45.000 The Germans, arguably most affected by this right now, the Germans laughed at him publicly.
01:04:52.000 Here's a refresher.
01:04:54.000 Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course.
01:05:04.000 Here in the Western Hemisphere, we are committed to maintaining our independence from the encroachment of expansionist foreign powers.
01:05:16.000 Look at those smug crowd pricks.
01:05:17.000 It's been the formal policy of our country since President Monroe.
01:05:23.000 All of those people have a lifetime of experience in politics.
01:05:26.000 What does this American say?
01:05:28.000 What does he know?
01:05:29.000 Look at his silly hair!
01:05:31.000 How'd it work out for you?
01:05:32.000 And by the way, let's bring up overlay N here.
01:05:35.000 All references available.
01:05:36.000 Don't bring up the 40s.
01:05:39.000 Viva on vacation!
01:05:42.000 Before 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.
01:05:49.000 Refined fuels in decades.
01:05:50.000 In decades!
01:05:51.000 So 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.
01:06:00.000 If 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.
01:06:07.000 Here's the issue.
01:06:08.000 Being 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.
01:06:20.000 And we don't need to be dependent on them at all.
01:06:23.000 America, right now.
01:06:24.000 And we've gotten into the numbers where Joe Biden people say, well actually he's allowed for more drilling on federal land.
01:06:28.000 That's because he ended a bunch of leases and then he opened up some more after Donald Trump, right?
01:06:32.000 Go back and you go watch that segment.
01:06:34.000 I'm not going to spend—that takes an hour in and of itself.
01:06:36.000 Here's the point.
01:06:37.000 America has enough natural gas to feed our demand, to supply our domestic demand, for at least 98 years.
01:06:44.000 Wow.
01:06:45.000 And an environmentally conscious way of removing it.
01:06:49.000 Yeah, but by the way, I thought we were— But we can't frack!
01:06:49.000 Yes.
01:06:52.000 Oh!
01:06:53.000 What's the alternative?
01:06:54.000 Wind and solar?
01:06:54.000 Well, we can't do that, so what do we do?
01:06:57.000 Well, we've banned some of the fracking, we've banned some of the offshore drilling, so where are we getting?
01:07:02.000 Right now, we need to enter- where are we?
01:07:05.000 Saudi Arabia.
01:07:06.000 Oh, that's better for the environment?
01:07:08.000 Venezuela.
01:07:09.000 Oh, that's better for the people of Venezuela that are still not able to have food?
01:07:12.000 Also, again- Yeah, we're a nation of people, though.
01:07:15.000 We buy slave-made products all over the country in the most horrible ways ever, and we just don't do it here, and we think that's okay.
01:07:22.000 Well then we virtue signal like, ah, you should definitely treat people better, and they need $25 an hour to be able to work.
01:07:28.000 Okay, what do you say to the people over in China, NBA?
01:07:30.000 What do you say to them, Nike, iPhone?
01:07:31.000 Oh, we're just going to go over there to get the stuff.
01:07:35.000 And by the way, you can't blame all the business owners, because unfortunately, it's not cost effective.
01:07:41.000 You can't even be sustainable to build a lot of these things in the United States.
01:07:44.000 Why?
01:07:45.000 Because of the taxes.
01:07:46.000 Because of the red tape.
01:07:47.000 Because of the regulations.
01:07:48.000 Isn'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.
01:08:14.000 It's not his fault.
01:08:15.000 It is your government's fault.
01:08:17.000 So we have enough gas to feed for 98 years.
01:08:20.000 Okay, that's from the United States Department of Energy.
01:08:21.000 Now, the United States also has more oil reserves than any country in the world.
01:08:25.000 A lot of people don't know that.
01:08:27.000 You think Saudi Arabia, maybe you think Venezuela.
01:08:29.000 The United States has more.
01:08:32.000 We just don't use all of it.
01:08:33.000 So we get it from those countries.
01:08:35.000 And by the way, not only is it dirty and corrupt, right, the Norseum incident could be the single largest methane release ever.
01:08:41.000 Except for when Joe Biden gives a press conference.
01:08:44.000 And by the way, the largest tanker spill ever was the Atlantic Empress.
01:08:49.000 That's right, it was a Greek ship.
01:08:51.000 It was going from Saudi Arabia to Texas.
01:08:54.000 In 2021 alone, more than 10,000 tons of oil were spilled by tankers.
01:08:59.000 Oil tankers make up 13% of maritime emissions.
01:09:03.000 114 million tons of CO2 annually from transporting energy.
01:09:08.000 Countries like Russia, Ukraine, energy companies, right?
01:09:10.000 They prop up these corrupt...
01:09:13.000 It just props up these oligarchies.
01:09:16.000 It'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.
01:09:25.000 I'm one of the wealthiest men in the country.
01:09:27.000 He should be poor and we should use our own energy.
01:09:32.000 Why?
01:09:33.000 If only to save the environment.
01:09:37.000 Yeah, 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?
01:09:51.000 They certainly, we've told you, they don't have the same kind of standards, but you're also feeding their country.
01:09:56.000 You're basically saying you get to stay in power because you get enough money to make sure your people don't overthrow you.
01:10:02.000 That's essentially what's going on in Saudi Arabia right now.
01:10:04.000 Without all that money, there is no way people take any kind of subjugation if you don't have any kind of carrot.
01:10:10.000 If it's just all stick, eventually it goes away.
01:10:12.000 Right!
01:10:13.000 Yeah, for sure.
01:10:14.000 Yeah, they would go back to the dark ages.
01:10:17.000 Or be forced to change.
01:10:18.000 And right now, and I kind of bumbled over this, but they just cut oil production.
01:10:22.000 OPEC 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.
01:10:30.000 Not a small thing.
01:10:32.000 Joe 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.
01:10:42.000 That's the only reason he's done it.
01:10:43.000 Right.
01:10:44.000 No, you're absolutely right.
01:10:45.000 And this is just one of the, again, crippling economically.
01:10:48.000 It kills people.
01:10:49.000 It's not that I'm anti-environment.
01:10:51.000 I'm pro-human being.
01:10:52.000 That's what it is.
01:10:54.000 And ultimately, modern environmentalism, whether it's a five-page Green New Deal that takes over whatever it is, four-fifths of the economy, go, I read the entire Green New Deal, you can watch it on YouTube, from cover to cover, all of it, every single word, it took me 16 minutes to read.
01:11:06.000 It's religion!
01:11:07.000 It's religion and you worship Gaia, you worship Earth, right?
01:11:10.000 That's just your god.
01:11:12.000 It's just a new form of pantheistic paganism, effectively.
01:11:18.000 It's worse for the environment.
01:11:19.000 That's why there's no logic to it.
01:11:21.000 Logic would say, okay, look, sure, we would love to move to quote-unquote renewable, while not allowing nuclear.
01:11:28.000 And by the way, every country, if everyone just embraced, for example, nuclear energy, every country could supply themselves.
01:11:36.000 We would no longer have to do the international politic.
01:11:39.000 Let me ask you this.
01:11:40.000 When have you ever felt, or when have you felt in a negotiating?
01:11:46.000 Agreement to be in greater control.
01:11:48.000 And this is real.
01:11:49.000 I'd like you to comment below and you can hit the like button.
01:11:51.000 It always helps with the algorithm that YouTube hates.
01:11:55.000 Let's say, I don't know, maybe you want to go buy a car.
01:11:57.000 Maybe you want to go buy a house.
01:11:58.000 You ever been in a negotiation where you don't need it?
01:12:01.000 Where you're actually willing to walk away?
01:12:02.000 It's not posturing.
01:12:06.000 How did that turn out?
01:12:07.000 Did you end up with a better deal?
01:12:09.000 Did you end up making better... at the very least, if you didn't end up with a better deal, did you end up making better decisions where you weren't forced to compromise?
01:12:16.000 Right?
01:12:16.000 If my car breaks down, and I've had this where I had a car that broke down, and I needed to get a car.
01:12:21.000 I needed to get a car because I was driving from gig to gig, and I didn't have a car.
01:12:24.000 You know what?
01:12:25.000 I got another car that really had a replaced transmission.
01:12:28.000 I got a car, and here's what it was.
01:12:30.000 A new transmission, a Ford Taurus, would have been $2,000.
01:12:34.000 The used transmission was $1,600, but it had 80,000 miles on it.
01:12:38.000 That was what was currently in the car.
01:12:40.000 I should have said no.
01:12:42.000 But I needed a car, and it was what was available, so I compromised.
01:12:46.000 The next time, when I was older and I was looking to purchase a new car, I was able to walk away.
01:12:52.000 From any dealership I want, guess what?
01:12:54.000 We ended up getting a better deal on the car, because I could take my time.
01:12:56.000 I wasn't beholden to them.
01:12:58.000 The issue is leverage.
01:13:00.000 You don't want to be leveraged by countries who, by the way, have no vested interest in helping the environment.
01:13:05.000 We have more oil than any other country in the face of the earth.
01:13:07.000 We could supply our own natural gas for 98 years.
01:13:11.000 And to the Zoomers out there, Gen Z, you may not know this.
01:13:14.000 Does everyone here, you guys remember?
01:13:15.000 We heard growing up about peak oil.
01:13:17.000 Remember that?
01:13:18.000 Remember peak oil?
01:13:19.000 Peak oil was supposed to happen, I believe, in the 70s, in the 80s, in the 90s.
01:13:22.000 That was what we were raised with.
01:13:24.000 The hole in the ozone, CFCs, and peak oil.
01:13:27.000 I haven't heard that discussed.
01:13:29.000 Recently.
01:13:30.000 Because that's not the issue.
01:13:32.000 Now it's, oh, it's not about peak oil, it's about the fact that we're using any oil.
01:13:35.000 Okay, we'll just keep moving the goalposts.
01:13:37.000 I don't know.
01:13:37.000 I think the United States has a vested interest in pulling some shenanigans.
01:13:40.000 I think it's probably a concerted effort from several different international forces.
01:13:45.000 Is that fair?
01:13:46.000 I think it's fair.
01:13:47.000 I think it's more likely Russia did it, but I kind of want to fit Putin with a black hat, so.
01:13:52.000 Yeah.
01:13:53.000 I think he deserves it.
01:13:54.000 Well, it'd be hard to fit the hat on his head.
01:13:55.000 Oh, that's true.
01:13:56.000 Yeah.
01:13:57.000 Does his head look swollen?
01:13:59.000 It does.
01:14:00.000 Looks like Mr. Mackey a little bit now.
01:14:01.000 Syphilis.
01:14:02.000 Syphilis will do that.
01:14:03.000 All right, we're going to go play They Don't Make Them Like They Used To, which we could absolutely not do on YouTube.
01:14:09.000 I believe... I'm not sure what... I might be doing a hidden camera thing tomorrow, so I believe Dave might be, but I'll see you in Oklahoma City.
01:14:15.000 If I don't see you tomorrow, I'll see you in Oklahoma City, October 8th, this Saturday.
01:14:17.000 You can go to livewithcutter.com slash tour.
01:14:19.000 There's some tickets left.
