00:00:00.000 turn up the background music turn up the background music again!

00:00:29.000 turn up the background music again!

00:01:06.000 There's a slurp.

00:01:06.000 That was good.

00:01:08.000 My mic is sounding really loud right now.

00:01:09.000 That slurp annoyed me.

00:01:11.000 But I know so many of you yesterday said that you enjoyed that sound of the slurp.

00:01:15.000 They're weird people.

00:01:16.000 I wish my wife felt the same about my sleep apnea.

00:01:18.000 Since I've hurt my knee, I have gained weight.

00:01:21.000 But look, I've got these bumps growing all over.

00:01:23.000 It's because I've been doing the curls at the gym since I can't do the squats.

00:01:27.000 Might as well.

00:01:29.000 I'm going to have a little trouble with that closet door.

00:01:30.000 Gerald is here.

00:01:32.000 How are you, sir?

00:01:32.000 I'm well.

00:01:33.000 How are you?

00:01:33.000 Quarter Black Garrett is here.

00:01:34.000 How are you?

00:01:35.000 Dave Landau is here.

00:01:36.000 You can find him at Compound Media.

00:01:37.000 And somewhere in Omaha?

00:01:39.000 I'll be in Omaha and Raleigh and Detroit.

00:01:43.000 When in Omaha?

00:01:44.000 I will be in Omaha in the beginning of March.

00:01:46.000 Beginning of March.

00:01:48.000 What is that crowd like?

00:01:49.000 They're good!

00:01:50.000 You know what I'm saying?

00:01:50.000 Does it have to be spaced out?

00:01:52.000 Salt of the Earth.

00:01:53.000 Do they salt the crowd?

00:01:56.000 I believe it's six feet between each table.

00:01:59.000 Oh, well that's great for comedy compression.

00:02:01.000 It is.

00:02:01.000 What you want to do is create a roll, so if there's any way to avoid that, it's the best.

00:02:05.000 Yes, exactly.

00:02:06.000 It's like the wave just starts and someone...

00:02:09.000 No.

00:02:09.000 He's over there!

00:02:10.000 It's just one guy starts the wave and everybody's like, no sir.

00:02:13.000 No sir.

00:02:13.000 No, you are a disappointment and I could hurt you.

00:02:16.000 We have Mike Rowe on the show today.

00:02:18.000 Boom!

00:02:18.000 We have a lot, there's so much in the news.

00:02:20.000 You know, yesterday we had to get our sea legs a little bit because we are suing Facebook and you can go read about that case at loudearthcrider.com.

00:02:27.000 Let me say this too really quickly, loudearthcrider.com slash MugClub, Crider Returns, you get $30 off.

00:02:32.000 How can you support the lawsuit?

00:02:34.000 Just join Mug Club or go to the merch shop.

00:02:36.000 That's it.

00:02:37.000 If you want to pay full price instead of the discount, we don't really do the charity thing here.

00:02:41.000 That's why we haven't done Patreon.

00:02:43.000 We want to have a self-sustaining business where we can be the people who, you know, in the offices at Zuckerberg, they go, SHIT!

00:02:52.000 Right, exactly.

00:02:52.000 You can show your support for us online, right?

00:02:55.000 On social media and letting people know what we're doing.

00:02:57.000 That's a great way to support us.

00:02:59.000 We'll also be talking about anal swabs, which is new with the COVID, double masking from Fauci, as well as AOC, beautiful and brave, survivor story.

00:03:07.000 Newly survived!

00:03:12.000 Dave Landau looks very concerned.

00:03:13.000 That's why I didn't want to put the map on there, because now you're staring at it.

00:03:16.000 I'm not.

00:03:16.000 Like someone at a bar when football's on the screen.

00:03:19.000 I'm not familiar.

00:03:21.000 Soccer, you mean?

00:03:22.000 Hey, you know what it is?

00:03:23.000 It's my football.

00:03:24.000 It's Black History Month!

00:03:27.000 Yeah!

00:03:28.000 Little-known facts, so every week we're going to be dropping you, every day, some Black History Month facts that you may not know.

00:03:33.000 You all know about the Rosa Parks and the railroad and Harriet Tubman.

00:03:38.000 Before the FBI murdered him, Martin Luther King Jr.

00:03:42.000 dropped a mixtape under his rap alter-ego, Lil Dreamer.

00:03:47.000 So, um, anything to add there, Alan?

00:03:51.000 I just saw, yeah, MLKKK's Most Wanted.

00:03:53.000 That was his hit.

00:03:54.000 Oh, wow.

00:03:55.000 That's nuts.

00:03:56.000 No, that's an Ice Cube guy's Ice Cube.

00:03:58.000 I don't know what he's talking about.

00:03:59.000 No, no, no.

00:04:00.000 Send your letters at Dave Landau.

00:04:02.000 You know what?

00:04:02.000 Show up in Omaha with a hefty jacket.

00:04:05.000 So we don't know what's under it.

00:04:07.000 Yes, if all the black people in Omaha wanted to show up.

00:04:10.000 I would say it's hot in here, but I'm also wearing level three body armor.

00:04:14.000 Spartan armor.

00:04:15.000 We'll talk about him a little bit later.

00:04:18.000 No insurrection in this studio, but first, this is the story that is breaking right now.

00:04:21.000 It's making the rounds on all the Twitter, and we always have to be careful because you can never joke about this, and you can never question any facts, even in the absence of any.

00:04:32.000 But AOC did a 90-minute stream on Instagram live yesterday, and there are a lot of claims in there.

00:04:40.000 Let's start with, let's just, let's let it straight from the horse-faced mouth.

00:04:45.000 Like, I'm here, and the bathroom door starts going like this.

00:04:50.000 Like, the bathroom door is behind me, or rather in front of me, and I'm like this, and the door hinges right here.

00:04:56.000 And I just hear, where is she?

00:04:59.000 I mean, I thought I was going to die.

00:05:01.000 It's because these folks who tell us to move on, that it's not a big deal, that we should forget what's happened, or even telling us to apologize.

00:05:11.000 No one said that.

00:05:13.000 These are the same tactics of abusers.

00:05:16.000 It just turned out Where Is She was the DoorDash guy.

00:05:19.000 With her chimichangas.

00:05:21.000 And I haven't told many people that in my life.

00:05:23.000 Whether you experience any sort of trauma in your life, small to large, these episodes can compound on one another.

00:05:34.000 There's no, you know, something really big happening to you and then you deal with it and then you move on and then when something else happens to you, you deal with that.

00:05:47.000 Okay, so look, I don't want to say, because we don't know, right?

00:05:51.000 And, you know, some people say believe all women, I say believe all facts.

00:05:54.000 And I think that if this happened, listen, AOC, horrible, if you were sexually assaulted, these men should be buried beneath the railroad tracks, okay?

00:06:01.000 Does everyone else here agree?

00:06:03.000 Now why might I think it's a little bullshitty is Okay, go with me here.

00:06:08.000 Because you equivocated.

00:06:10.000 You created equivalency between sexual assault and verbal abuse.

00:06:15.000 You created an equivalency between the Crips running a train on somebody locked in a closet for days on end and the insults from Gazoo.

00:06:22.000 Not the same.

00:06:23.000 I need to go to my counselor!

00:06:28.000 I just don't like when people say almost died when they didn't almost die.

00:06:34.000 How can you prove what she's saying?

00:06:35.000 Yes people storming the Capitol if they're saying kill all the senators is a bad thing and you would want to run away from that and it would be kind of a scarring experience for us to endure right?

00:06:43.000 I would absolutely give you that but nobody can back up her story of what she's saying like if that happened then that's horrible that is terrible but Did it really happen?

00:06:50.000 I don't believe her for a number of reasons.

00:06:52.000 I thought it very insensitive that the insurrectionists weren't asking where is Z.

00:06:58.000 Oh.

00:06:58.000 That's true.

00:06:59.000 Thanks, James.

00:06:59.000 Boy, this is a dead room.

00:07:03.000 I just don't know how I'm supposed to play this one.

00:07:05.000 I gotta be honest.

00:07:08.000 Dave, don't make any rape jokes, because of course, listen, rape is bad.

00:07:14.000 Now you can say whatever you want.

00:07:17.000 Now you can make this rape joke and feel safe.

00:07:20.000 They were in there saying, where is she?

00:07:21.000 And I was in a closet.

00:07:23.000 And I was like, oh no!

00:07:25.000 And it reminded me of the time that I was teased.

00:07:28.000 Yeah.

00:07:29.000 I almost died, because, well, nothing happened, really.

00:07:33.000 Nothing really happened.

00:07:34.000 Well, yeah, once she said that Ted Cruz tried to murder her, I think that's when I stopped believing her even more.

00:07:39.000 Which, by the way, Senator Ted Cruz, you're welcome to be on the show, but it's not a softball.

00:07:42.000 You've got some splanning to do.

00:07:44.000 Not a big fan, Cruz!

00:07:47.000 You guys could talk beards.

00:07:48.000 Cruz Missile turned into more of a dud.

00:07:52.000 What was that?

00:07:52.000 Yeah.

00:07:53.000 Is that your wedding night?

00:07:55.000 No.

00:07:56.000 And here she is now.

00:07:58.000 She moves forward AOC talking about... You follow the puck when Landau's laughing at my ribs on Gerald.

00:08:05.000 Don't do it.

00:08:05.000 No.

00:08:06.000 Do it.

00:08:06.000 Gerald deserves everything he gets.

00:08:08.000 AOC.

00:08:09.000 Now here she is talking about, speaking of Cruz, recent disappointment.

00:08:13.000 Hey, you know what, Senator Cruz?

00:08:13.000 But I don't know.

00:08:15.000 Some people are saying that you don't believe there was any election irregularities.

00:08:20.000 I want you to defend your position in your own words, but it does need to be defended.

00:08:24.000 Just my opinion.

00:08:26.000 I should have worn the undercover vest.

00:08:29.000 Here's AOC talking about Hawley and Cruz.

00:08:31.000 Is that when given another window of political opportunity for themselves, even if they know that it means that it will endanger their colleagues, they will do it again.

00:08:44.000 And that's the real reason why I think that Senator Josh Hawley needs to resign, why Senator Ted Cruz needs to resign, along with many others.

00:08:55.000 Because they will do it again.

00:08:56.000 They will do what again?

00:08:57.000 Exactly.

00:08:58.000 A tall glass of unity.

00:09:03.000 It's like, look, we need to unify.

00:09:05.000 Okay, we understand.

00:09:06.000 Those Nazis tried to kill me.

00:09:09.000 How does this work?

00:09:10.000 Did you notice this happened with Barack Obama too?

00:09:12.000 They were referring to George W. Bush as a Nazi.

00:09:14.000 You couldn't actually say, you know what, actually, I don't think George W. Bush is as bad as CALIBURTON!

00:09:19.000 That was for about eight Frickin' years!

00:09:22.000 And then when Barack Obama came in they said it's time for unity.

00:09:25.000 It's time for unity where the very first executive action was reversing the Mexico City policy where our taxpayer dollars went to fund abortions overseas.

00:09:33.000 Donald Trump reversed that and then Joe Biden, because priorities, made sure that your tax dollars are funding abortion overseas again.

00:09:40.000 Unity!

00:09:41.000 Unity!

00:09:41.000 You need to resign, we need to impeach, we need to kick them out, and Ted Cruz tried to kill me.

00:09:46.000 Oh, I don't know.

00:09:47.000 Maybe we should unify in telling you to go fornicate yourself with a wire brush.

00:09:51.000 I think we can do that.

00:09:52.000 What is the worst thing that Ted Cruz said throughout this entire thing?

00:09:54.000 I mean, I'm really searching for the thing that she's saying, that's what he said that made people want to murder me.

00:09:59.000 Because he said, let's have an inquiry over the next ten days, I think, on the 6th, if that's what he wanted to do.

00:10:05.000 He was going to represent the states that filed the lawsuit in the Supreme Court that never actually got to the Supreme Court.

00:10:11.000 Other than that, he said there were irregularities and things we needed to look into.

00:10:15.000 If you're lowering the bar, fine.

00:10:18.000 Let's lower it for everybody.

00:10:19.000 Every one of you who said something about Black Lives Matter and said it's fine to be outraged and said that you're more likely as a black person to be shot by a cop than a white person, which is a lie, by the way, that incited people to violence, by the way, let's haul you before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

00:10:32.000 I think AOC is a petulant child who was carried by Satan in the desert in Passion of the Christ.

00:10:38.000 She was a little baby.

00:10:40.000 On the shoulder.

00:10:41.000 Really?

00:10:42.000 Do you think she acts like a toddler?

00:10:43.000 I think, I don't think so.

00:10:47.000 I don't think she's evil.

00:10:48.000 I think, look, I think, and we'll be doing a roast of Greta Thunberg tomorrow.

00:10:51.000 That's one of the best things.

00:10:53.000 She's 18 now.

00:10:54.000 So we're not in violation of YouTube's guidelines in criticizing someone who serves to actually pressure legislative policy.

00:11:04.000 And she was replaced immediately when she turned 18.

00:11:08.000 Like Michael Jackson seeing a pubic hair.

00:11:11.000 Right out.

00:11:12.000 And David Hogg wondering where all the people who said he was cute went to.

00:11:16.000 And we're going to be talking about impeachment.

00:11:19.000 Look, do you think, I guess this is my question here, do you think that there's any constitutionality for impeachment right now?

00:11:25.000 And, uh, what do you think people believe at this point?

00:11:29.000 I feel like we're living in a world where it's a lie that is agreed upon.

00:11:34.000 We're talking about COVID and double masks, and we'll get to that in a second.

00:11:36.000 Actually, can we show that really quickly?

00:11:37.000 I think we're going to tease this really quick, because coming up, it's been a flip-flop, but remember when Dr. No Strings to Hold Him Down Fauci said this about double masking?

00:11:46.000 So if you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective.

00:11:54.000 Turns out that's all bullshit.

00:11:58.000 Oh, by the way, I think we're breaking.

00:11:59.000 We do actually have some updates.

00:12:01.000 We have a mugshot of the attacker from, you know, see if I see.

00:12:05.000 Yep.

00:12:05.000 Terrible.

00:12:05.000 Now listen, the means of reproduction.

00:12:07.000 Jeff's terrible.

00:12:08.000 The means behind the baby make it so.

00:12:10.000 Reap what you sow?

00:12:11.000 Ha ha ha.

00:12:12.000 Jeez, disgusting.

00:12:14.000 Terrible.

00:12:15.000 Joe Louis, you deserve better.

00:12:17.000 We're going to be talking about that.

00:12:18.000 This is a part of the lie that is agreed upon.

00:12:20.000 Listen, if you actually believed that this pandemic was as deadly as they tried to claim it was, or like Ebola, where in Liberia it had a 50% survival rate and only two organizations went in, one of whom was Samaritan's Purse, do you think two layers of your neck gaiter would make you feel any safer?

00:12:35.000 The issue with Nancy Pelosi, the issue with Gavin Newsom going out to dinners, and the issue with Nancy Pelosi getting a blowout in a particle vortex, right, and they get caught again and again and again, is not hypocrisy, right?

00:12:47.000 Listen, everyone here is a hypocrite.

00:12:49.000 I'm faithful to my wife.

00:12:51.000 Sometimes there's a nice big pair of tits and I go, and don't look, because I'm a hypocrite.

00:12:55.000 I'm a man.

00:12:56.000 I'm attracted to breasts.

00:12:59.000 I wouldn't, listen, come on, don't sell yourself short.

00:13:01.000 You have tremendous tits, Dan.

00:13:02.000 They are real and they are spectacular.

00:13:02.000 Thank you.

00:13:05.000 Yeah!

00:13:07.000 We're all hypocrites.

00:13:08.000 It's that they aren't actually afraid.

00:13:10.000 These people aren't actually afraid of the virus with a 50% mortality rate or even a 7% mortality rate.

00:13:18.000 The idea of the election being just like every other election before us, that Joe Biden, who never campaigned, who never left his basement, received more votes than any president throughout the entirety of American history, and that there's this widespread coalition and nothing untoward happened.

00:13:34.000 This is a lie that is agreed upon.

00:13:37.000 The idea that there's science and you double mask and you triple mask and we should trust the World Health Organization, it's a lie that's agreed upon.

00:13:44.000 The idea that there's any legitimacy to impeaching a former president or president, this is a lie that is agreed upon.

00:13:52.000 And any Republicans who go along with that lie, well, you're wieners.

00:13:56.000 I think that if you do want two masks though, just put a plastic bag over your face and let the Lord call you home.

00:14:03.000 Yes.

00:14:04.000 Put a plastic bag over your face with an extra filter of pecking peanuts.

00:14:08.000 Yes.

00:14:09.000 I'd say three masks.

00:14:11.000 Why not four?

00:14:12.000 Yeah.

00:14:12.000 Let's keep it going.

00:14:14.000 Okay.

00:14:14.000 Exactly.

00:14:15.000 By the way, if you want to support, we're going to micro up in a little bit, but subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Android for the audio-only version.

00:14:49.000 Tell me your favorite dog.

00:14:51.000 What's your favorite dog?

00:14:52.000 It could be a name or a breed.

00:14:54.000 If you like cats, kill yourself.

00:14:57.000 And we'll be taking your Mug Club chat a little bit later on.

00:14:59.000 What about Garfield?

00:15:01.000 Not really a big fan.

00:15:02.000 No?

00:15:02.000 Not only Garfield, but the weird people who have all the Snoopy gear.

00:15:05.000 You know those people that get Snoopy everything?

00:15:06.000 My mom was both.

00:15:07.000 Really?

00:15:07.000 Oh, wow.

00:15:09.000 He had Tweety Bird jackets.

00:15:09.000 Sorry, Mom.

00:15:11.000 His mom's on the spectrum.

00:15:13.000 His mom's got a little bit of Greta Thunberg in her.

00:15:16.000 Oh, come on.

00:15:17.000 Do you think that's really how you deal with somebody?

00:15:20.000 You're like, listen, I don't know how you are with Asperger's, but what do you think of Snoopy?

00:15:24.000 And you're like, why, I have so much stuff.

00:15:26.000 Oh, I love Snoopy!

00:15:28.000 It's my favorite.

00:15:29.000 Take notes.

00:15:30.000 Is that three Garfield things clinged to the back of your car?

00:15:33.000 Yes!

00:15:34.000 In the back window.

00:15:36.000 Alright, Gerald has some strong opinions on this, and let me know whatever's happening on CNN, because I know it's a slow news day when people are spending all of this time about claims with no substantiation whatsoever of sexual assault.

00:15:47.000 Did she claim that the sexual assault happened in the Capitol?

00:15:49.000 No, I don't think that's what she was saying.

00:15:51.000 Well, I'll assume she did.

00:15:54.000 So, what's happening right now, and this is the lie that is agreed upon by the media, they want you to believe that this is common practice, that this has happened at some point, any point, throughout American history.

00:16:05.000 It hasn't.

00:16:06.000 That President Donald Trump, in contrast to former Vice President Joe Biden, could be impeached even though he's out of office.

00:16:13.000 This is their new plan.

00:16:14.000 He's open and Mueller's pretty express on this in his report.

00:16:17.000 He says that Trump can be indicted after he leaves office and in the interim there's a possibility of congressional impeachment.

00:16:25.000 An official can be impeached even after they leave office.

00:16:32.000 This Belknap chapter from our history tells us that Trump can be impeached and can be tried in the Senate even after he leaves office.

00:16:42.000 By the way, if you don't cut that man out properly before serving him, he can poison you.

00:16:46.000 What?

00:16:48.000 Pufferfish face!

00:16:49.000 Is that a handsome contest?

00:16:56.000 I'll get party favors, but no one gets first.

00:17:00.000 Okay, let me read this to you really quickly.

00:17:01.000 So, Article 2, Section 4.

00:17:03.000 It's pretty clear.

00:17:04.000 Impeachment is for removal from office.

00:17:07.000 The President shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

00:17:16.000 And the founders, right, they based the requirements for impeachment on this.

00:17:19.000 This is something a lot of people don't know.

00:17:20.000 I have to get a little nerdy.

00:17:20.000 On the English practice, except they altered it, of course, to specifically more applied to public officials because we don't really

00:17:26.000 have royalty.

00:17:27.000 Unlike you Canadians, my home country, where you still keep the queen on your

00:17:30.000 monkey, your money, your pussies, all of you, Canada.

00:17:33.000 Listen, here's a good rule of thumb. If you are a neighbor right to the north of

00:17:39.000 a country that fought off the royalty and the most powerful economic

00:17:43.000 superpower of one century only to become the next great economic superpower

00:17:48.000 of the following century and you still keep the royalty on your money...

00:17:54.000 Listen, when African colonies that have no weapons can revolt, get the crown out of

00:18:00.000 their country... When the French get their own province...

00:18:04.000 Is a loony royal?

00:18:08.000 I don't even know what it means, honestly.

00:18:10.000 The loonie?

00:18:10.000 The dollar?

00:18:11.000 The toonie?

00:18:12.000 The toonie looks like a peso.

00:18:15.000 It's a silly country.

00:18:16.000 The fact that it isn't a 51st state is proof that we are not an evil empire.

00:18:21.000 I know, right?

00:18:21.000 Well, yeah, it's also funny, because strippers are like, thank you for the change.

00:18:26.000 Because it's your rite of passage when you're... I'm from Detroit, you go over there, you're 19, you can drink.

00:18:32.000 Right, yes, yeah.

00:18:33.000 So you go over there and you give you give silly goose money to

00:18:36.000 Never has a more some more accurate summary of Canada been described

00:18:47.000 So the founders, right, they switched it to apply to public officials.

00:18:50.000 Let me read you here from the founding documents.

00:18:52.000 The Constitution established an impeachment mechanism exclusively geared toward holding public officials, including the president, accountable.

00:18:58.000 This contrasted with the English practice of impeachment, which would extend to any individual save the crown.

00:19:04.000 Not the crappy series.

00:19:05.000 I haven't actually watched the series.

00:19:06.000 It's not bad.

00:19:07.000 Come on.

00:19:07.000 And here's the thing, too, people will say, well, you know what, okay, maybe you're just talking about the law and the history.

00:19:12.000 Precedent also matters.

00:19:14.000 You can see how this is applied in practice.

00:19:18.000 Congress, they annotated, right, the Constitution states, the framers, they were very clear they envisioned punishment, okay, for impeachment exclusively.

00:19:25.000 Exclusively for removal from office.

00:19:28.000 That's what it means, that's what it's for.

00:19:31.000 Censure is a different thing.

00:19:33.000 Which for me, for a long time, I'm like, they can censor?

00:19:35.000 No, censure is basically public admonishment.

00:19:38.000 It's basically the modern day stocks, only there are no consequences.

00:19:42.000 It's like a slap on the wrist, basically, for a public official.

00:19:44.000 The American colonies largely limited impeachment to office holders on the basis of misconduct committed in office.

00:19:51.000 And the available punishment for impeachment was limited to removal from office.

00:19:56.000 Again, while we're talking about precedent, Nixon resigned.

00:20:00.000 Why?

00:20:00.000 He resigned so that he wouldn't be impeached.

00:20:02.000 And they didn't impeach him after.

00:20:04.000 And they really wanted to impeach him.

00:20:06.000 And Ford was another...

00:20:09.000 He pardoned him later on.

00:20:10.000 Although Gerald Ford, he smoked six bowls of pipe tobacco a day and he died at 94.

00:20:14.000 Did he really?

00:20:15.000 He was totally healthy.

00:20:16.000 Good man.

00:20:17.000 He was a good man, Gerald Ford.

00:20:18.000 You know, didn't do a whole lot.

00:20:19.000 You know what no one has said in the last ten years?

00:20:21.000 What?

00:20:21.000 I hate Gerald Ford!

00:20:23.000 No.

00:20:23.000 He just kind of went away in history.

00:20:24.000 He just breezed right through his time.

00:20:25.000 Have you ever been to the Gerald Ford Library in Grand Rapids?

00:20:28.000 I assure you I haven't.

00:20:30.000 It's basically a pizza slice.

00:20:32.000 Is it?

00:20:33.000 It's like a pizza slice and it starts off with, you know, memorabilia from Gerald Ford, you know, the two years.

00:20:38.000 And then as you go back, there's an Elvis exhibit.

00:20:42.000 We need to fill in some space.

00:20:44.000 It's like, go to the Gerald Ford Museum, there's nothing left.

00:20:48.000 Like, yeah, Elvis and there's Chuck Berry.

00:20:51.000 What about Gerald Ford?

00:20:52.000 He played here at Grand Rapids High, but that was at the front.

00:20:56.000 Also, we have an Ikea display here because there's kind of a partnership with Grand Rapids.

00:21:01.000 Is the Chuck Berry display just in the women's room?

00:21:06.000 Right, where AOC is hiding.

00:21:07.000 Yes, apparently so.

00:21:09.000 One bit of information I want to point out here.

00:21:10.000 He tried to kill me with his kick!

00:21:13.000 I went in the one room where I knew men couldn't go.

00:21:16.000 She used blank math.

00:21:18.000 Thanks, Title IX.

00:21:19.000 No, there's no safe place now.

00:21:20.000 Men can go in the women's restroom.

00:21:22.000 Allowed everywhere.

00:21:23.000 And beat the hell out of women at sports.

00:21:25.000 Progress!

00:21:26.000 Did you see that?

00:21:27.000 That dude, he looked like Keith David in a wig.

00:21:32.000 Okay, Gerald, you had something to point out on the constitutionality.

00:21:34.000 On the constitutionality of it, I think you've made a very good point.

00:21:36.000 Obviously, the only punishment is removal from office.

00:21:39.000 The only thing that goes with that is the inability to run for future office.

00:21:43.000 I think that's really what they're getting at, is they're trying to bend the rules and continue an impeachment process meant to remove somebody from office so that they can go, Ha ha ha!

00:21:52.000 2024, you're out!

00:21:54.000 Are you really that afraid of Donald Trump that you think in four years he's going to be the guy?

00:21:59.000 They absolutely are.

00:22:00.000 They check their beds for Donald Trump.

00:22:01.000 I really do think they are afraid of him, but that goes to another level.

00:22:04.000 But thinking that you can impeach a former politician, somebody who doesn't hold office anymore, and that it will have any effect whatsoever.

00:22:11.000 Because they're looking at this and saying, impeach, indict, imprison.

00:22:15.000 So this isn't just one thing that they're trying to do.

00:22:17.000 And yes, after a president is removed from office, he goes back to being a private citizen who can be held liable in a court of law.

00:22:23.000 But guess what?

00:22:24.000 It would have to go through the courts!

00:22:26.000 You have no evidence!

00:22:27.000 Unless you're a Biden.

00:22:28.000 Plus you're a Biden snortin' coke off your niece's hip bones.

00:22:31.000 Then we're a little murky on the rule book.

00:22:35.000 No, they absolutely are afraid of Trump.

00:22:37.000 AOC checks her closet.

00:22:38.000 Trump, are you in there?

00:22:39.000 He tried to hurt me!

00:22:39.000 Again?

00:22:42.000 I almost died getting pants.

00:22:44.000 Trump's like, listen AOC, I only go for Russian models.

00:22:49.000 You're fine.

00:22:54.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:22:54.000 No.

00:22:56.000 The Abercrombie ethnic, kind of mysterious, a little exotic, it doesn't really get you quite across the finish line.

00:23:01.000 Because you're toothy!

00:23:02.000 So!

00:23:03.000 Oh, there she is right now, look, CNN, talking about AOC.

00:23:07.000 I haven't told many people except all my social media and CNN and my publicist who sent out a press release.

00:23:13.000 So the first person I'm going to tell is everybody.

00:23:15.000 And my turtleneck guy.

00:23:16.000 Yes.

00:23:20.000 tweets following that the congresswoman wrote this quote my story isn't the only

00:23:20.000 She's just playing this out.

00:23:20.000 Oh, come on.

00:23:26.000 story it's just one story of many of those whose lives were endangered at the

00:23:31.000 Capitol by the lies the threats and the violence fanned by the cowardice of

00:23:34.000 people who chose personal gain above. Oh come on. Remember when glasses would make

00:23:41.000 people look smarter?

00:23:44.000 The coward is... let's...

00:23:45.000 You worked as a barmaid and then suckled at the taxpayer teat because you won a race from an incumbent who didn't show up for a debate.

00:23:54.000 You've never taken a risk.

00:23:56.000 You can say what you want about Donald Trump.

00:23:58.000 The guy risked a whole lot for a salary that was $400,000 and hasn't even really been adjusted for inflation.

00:24:05.000 He could He could find $400,000 in his suit jacket pocket that he accidentally drapes over a hobo on the way to Trump Tower and not discern that lack of finance in his account.

00:24:17.000 We talk about cowardice?

00:24:19.000 Listen, I understand why people are upset with conspiracy theorists and I don't like seeing people in Nancy Pelosi's, that is the people's house.

00:24:27.000 I don't think that's the process.

00:24:28.000 I think that a lot of people felt their voices weren't heard and I understand why your voices weren't heard because people didn't do the work that they needed to do.

00:24:35.000 When I say you were played by people at the top as it relates to election irregularities and fraud, people weren't doing their due diligence.

00:24:40.000 You can see it by the typos in the briefs, you can see it by the fact that behind the scenes we had to correct some of this data and it's really hard for us When we have the truth, and we've tried to talk about the truth in the show, we go, look, X thousand voter rolls here.

00:24:51.000 These are addresses that don't exist.

00:24:53.000 That's what we were going to do in Nevada.

00:24:54.000 You know what?

00:24:54.000 Comment below.

00:24:55.000 Let us know if you still want us to do the Nevada live stream where we just show you 40 addresses with random places that don't exist.

00:25:02.000 Maybe it's more relevant now because they're banning anyone who shows you the truth.

00:25:05.000 We can still do it.

00:25:06.000 My heart gave out.

00:25:07.000 I apologize.

00:25:09.000 It was too small.

00:25:10.000 But the point is, they weren't doing their due diligence, and so people were waiting

00:25:14.000 for those who had the ability to do something, to effect change, and they didn't.

00:25:19.000 And when those same people are being labeled Nazis and being labeled enemies of the state,

00:25:25.000 then they say, well, you know what?

00:25:26.000 All right.

00:25:27.000 I guess I'm an enemy of the state now.

00:25:29.000 And now they call for unity.

00:25:31.000 And they want to call for unity by tarring and feathering the man who actually supports... and when I say... I don't mean conspiracy theorists.

00:25:38.000 I don't mean radical right-wingers.

00:25:39.000 I mean the man who actually fought for small businesses.

00:25:42.000 The man who unions are finding out the hard way now actually fought for the American working class.

00:25:47.000 The man who was loathed by hedge funders, right?

00:25:51.000 You decide that you want to vilify this man while you simultaneously protect all of your cronies in Wall Street and big tech and big media, and you wonder why people are upset.

00:26:03.000 Hit the notification bell, by the way, if you're subscribed, because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot as we talk about big tech and we are suing Facebook.

00:26:03.000 All right.

00:26:10.000 Go read this story.

00:26:10.000 It's not the same as, like, this is a big one.

00:26:13.000 How real, with the insurgents though, how, I mean, were they actually Republicans?

00:26:19.000 I don't know.

00:26:20.000 That's the part that I'm really curious, if people really know.

00:26:22.000 It seems like it was a mix.

00:26:23.000 Yeah.

00:26:24.000 At the very least.

00:26:25.000 And there were some crazy people who actually believed that Joe Biden was going to be arrested on January 20th.

00:26:31.000 This is what I will say, the people out there who thought it was all part of the plan, and I've never been a conspiracy theorist, I try to act in the realm of facts, and it doesn't mean that there aren't some conspiracies that are true.

00:26:39.000 Do I think that Clinton's killed people?

00:26:40.000 Yeah!

00:26:42.000 But some people are telling me, they're saying this is actually all part of the plan with Donald Trump, right?

00:26:46.000 The whole part of the plan to expose voter fraud.

00:26:48.000 He's going to do this and then in the end of four years expose voter fraud.

00:26:51.000 I'm like, okay, I don't think that's part of the plan.

00:26:52.000 Then they go, it's all part of the plan January 6th.

00:26:54.000 Then people are saying it's all part of the plan January 20th.

00:26:56.000 Joe Biden's going to be arrested.

00:26:57.000 Look, look, look!

00:26:59.000 If you believe that, you're stupid.

00:27:02.000 Let me tell you, you've never run a business, you've never been in combat, you've never had to lead people.

00:27:06.000 You do not set a plan in motion which allows for zero contingencies.

00:27:12.000 It would be like Jocko saying, alright, okay, listen, we're going into Kandahar, okay?

00:27:16.000 We're going to let them surround us.

00:27:17.000 Wait, Jocko, that doesn't sound...

00:27:19.000 Go with me here.

00:27:20.000 How many troops?

00:27:21.000 How many people do we have?

00:27:22.000 We only have, uh, we have 11 troops.

00:27:24.000 Okay, we're gonna let them kill, uh, 10 first.

00:27:27.000 No, no, wait!

00:27:27.000 Hey, I've got them right where I want them!

00:27:29.000 Then I'm gonna put up the white flag.

00:27:31.000 And then, then the cavalry will come over the hill.

00:27:34.000 You don't make that plan!

00:27:35.000 So don't let yourself be led astray just like a stupid branding play named Robin Hood, you idiot Bernie Bros.

00:27:43.000 Well, I guess you've never lost a game of 11-D chess.

00:27:47.000 That's what it really comes down to.

00:27:50.000 I lose games of chess against myself.

00:27:52.000 But every time it failed, they were like, well, now it's going to be 6-D chess.

00:27:55.000 No, I don't think it stopped at 3.

00:27:57.000 I will tell you, there was a lot of disorganization.

00:28:00.000 And I can't always reveal names.

00:28:01.000 We've always tried to welcome them.

00:28:02.000 But there was a lot of disorganization at the top.

00:28:04.000 That was disheartening.

00:28:05.000 It was disheartening because we were doing this work behind the scenes.

00:28:08.000 Listen, but it doesn't mean that these people are- people didn't feel their voice was heard, and that is true, because Democrats were trying to completely shut down giant swaths of evidence which were never heard.

00:28:18.000 That being said, the people whose responsibility it was to make sure that the cases were airtight didn't do their job.

00:28:26.000 My disappointment is not with these things being thrown out.

00:28:29.000 My disappointment is not just- it's with the irresponsibility in not doing your due diligence, because this was something that could have been a watershed moment, and instead You screwed the pooch.

00:28:38.000 And I'm not talking about you, Joe Louis.

00:28:40.000 Don't take it personally.

00:28:41.000 You wouldn't screw him.

00:28:42.000 You're right.

00:28:42.000 You're adorable.

00:28:44.000 I think one of the things that frustrates me... Did you just say I wouldn't screw him?

00:28:46.000 That's disgusting!

00:28:47.000 What, you would screw him?

00:28:48.000 No, I'm saying... See, look, this is what happens when you don't have a comedian.

00:28:51.000 He just thinks, like, beastiality.

00:28:53.000 This is why Washington Carver invented peanut butter.

00:28:56.000 Dogs hate margarine.

00:28:59.000 That's terrible.

00:29:01.000 Stephen's gonna be mad at me for that one.

00:29:02.000 I'm not mad at you for anything.

00:29:04.000 Except your lack of wrinkles.

00:29:06.000 That's true.

00:29:06.000 You little American girl doll lookalike.

00:29:10.000 Look at his face.

00:29:12.000 He has the face of a 14 year old who's never had a wrinkle.

00:29:14.000 Go make your point there, Gerald.

00:29:15.000 I'm gonna say that that's the biggest thing in this that I want to make sure happens is that at some point that the flames cool down enough to where you can actually take a non-partisan look back at what happened during this election and go okay we can we need to fix things but it will never happen and I don't think it will at least because guys like Jake Tapper out there saying it's the big lie right which was what was used to describe what the Nazis did right and so anybody who thinks there was any Shred of craziness that went on.

00:29:40.000 Oh wait, hold on a second.

00:29:41.000 Hold that thought.

00:29:42.000 Look.

00:29:42.000 Chicago Teachers Union's demands.

00:29:44.000 Okay, hold on a second.

00:29:46.000 Look.

00:29:46.000 Reopening... This is on CNN.

00:29:47.000 Reopening metric-based CDC guidance.

00:29:48.000 Not a single demand was for the bettering of teaching.

00:29:52.000 Or kids.

00:29:52.000 Did you notice that?

00:29:53.000 None of it had anything to do with the children.

00:29:55.000 Yeah.

00:29:57.000 But unions are for the children.

00:29:58.000 They got a very fifties haircut.

00:30:01.000 Yeah, I know.

00:30:02.000 Yeah.

00:30:02.000 So anyway, this is the guy who wouldn't be allowed in the office in Mad Men.

00:30:06.000 Can I come in?

00:30:07.000 Not by the hair, but chinny-chin-chin.

00:30:09.000 Well, no, that's a great example though, Steven.

00:30:11.000 It's every single issue that we have.

00:30:12.000 If you're against public schools because they are terrible places where people go and don't get educated, you hate teachers.

00:30:20.000 Teachers who are sacrificing and then they'll trot out the story of them buying the supplies.

00:30:24.000 Right?

00:30:24.000 They'll buy the supplies and I'm sacrificing for the kids and then stuff like this happens and it's clear they're not for the kids and then AOC goes on here and that's the problem that I have with this.

00:30:31.000 Not that if she was a victim of sexual assault or had a terrible experience in the Capitol that we shouldn't be, I guess, compassionate for that, obviously, right?

00:30:38.000 And try to fix it.

00:30:39.000 But that she's using it so obviously to push something that's a lie.

00:30:43.000 The idiots of the Capitol have nothing to do with Ted Cruz.

00:30:46.000 I know!

00:30:46.000 That's what I'm saying!

00:30:47.000 That's the lie!

00:30:49.000 That there were voter rolls that didn't balance, that didn't match up, and that there were thousands of people who voted from addresses that don't exist.

00:30:55.000 Ted Fairbanks was extending an olive branch to get her to agree, and then she responded with, you tried to kill me.

00:31:02.000 Murder me!

00:31:03.000 She's like Lenny with the rabbit, only it was a piece dove offering.

00:31:06.000 I didn't know I wanted beans on my ketchup!

00:31:11.000 That's too close to reality.

00:31:12.000 She just doesn't like Ted Cruz.

00:31:14.000 Like Richard Gere with the gerbil.

00:31:17.000 Too far?

00:31:18.000 Just give him an empty toilet paper roll filled with dryer sheets.

00:31:20.000 Leave him alone.

00:31:21.000 But isn't it strange?

00:31:23.000 Of all the things that Trump said, I really feel that this is a case where he didn't say anything wrong at all.

00:31:29.000 As a matter of fact, he went out of his way.

00:31:31.000 So this is a good example.

00:31:32.000 He went out of his way.

00:31:33.000 to try and be peaceful.

00:31:34.000 So sorry, now we're circling back to the impeachment.

00:31:36.000 I didn't mean to bring it back.

00:31:37.000 No, no, we should.

00:31:38.000 We need to finish this.

00:31:39.000 We need to talk about the impeachment.

00:31:40.000 They are claiming, I think we have clip C where this is them claiming that he incited

00:31:45.000 violence at the Capitol or is this the Trump clip?

00:31:48.000 Clip B is that.

00:31:49.000 Clip B is them claiming.

00:31:50.000 So their claim, and the AOC claim, and they try to extend it to Ted Cruz and Holly Wright and all these people, is that Donald Trump was inciting violence and that's the reason that he should be impeached post-presidency, which of course doesn't happen, hasn't happened, and will not happen.

00:32:06.000 And they were writing up these articles of impeachment.

00:32:08.000 I want to read a portion of it to you here.

00:32:09.000 It says, Donald John Trump engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors by willfully inciting violence against the government of the United States.

00:32:17.000 They were provoked by the President.

00:32:19.000 Rachel Levine!

00:32:20.000 The President bears responsibility for Wednesday's attack on Congress by mob rioters.

00:32:25.000 And we know that the President of the United States incited this insurrection.

00:32:30.000 Senators will have to decide if they believe Donald John Trump incited the erection.

00:32:38.000 There it is.

00:32:38.000 You bet he did.

00:32:41.000 Too much spirit cooking going on behind the scenes!

00:32:44.000 Okay, so let's look at this timeline, and actually I want you to give me the token I own here we can find, or Lily, I forgot to include this, the record for the mile, running the mile, how quick it is.

00:32:57.000 Because here is at 12 16 p.m.

00:33:00.000 Here's a timeline.

00:33:02.000 12 16 p.m.

00:33:02.000 Eastern Standard Time, or as I call it, the Devil's Time.

00:33:07.000 This is the speech from Donald Trump where he called for violence.

00:33:09.000 You can hear from his mouth.

00:33:11.000 I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.

00:33:21.000 Shit.

00:33:21.000 Oh wow.

00:33:22.000 ShowMap was incorrect.

00:33:23.000 I apologize.

00:33:23.000 I take it back.

00:33:25.000 That is clearly murder.

00:33:26.000 I need to do my due diligence.

00:33:28.000 Yes.

00:33:29.000 Those who hand me shekels told me to say that he encouraged violence.

00:33:35.000 I'm a tall Jew.

00:33:36.000 Haven't you seen the anti-Semitic comments?

00:33:37.000 I have, yeah.

00:33:39.000 He's a shill.

00:33:40.000 You're a Nazi and a Jew, which is weird.

00:33:41.000 How does that work?

00:33:43.000 That was at 12.16.

00:33:44.000 Then it was at 1.10 they began grappling with the police, right?

00:33:49.000 We have an overlay here.

00:33:50.000 At 1.10 p.m.

00:33:51.000 they began grappling with the police.

00:33:52.000 A minute later, I bring up this overlay here, at 1.11 p.m.

00:33:58.000 the White House speech ended.

00:34:01.000 The Capitol was 1.8 miles away from the speech at the White House.

00:34:07.000 How long did it take for them to actually get there when they actually started getting into the building?

00:34:11.000 I thought we had this on the map.

00:34:13.000 Get this token out and get it to move.

00:34:17.000 It's faster than the mile world record.

00:34:21.000 And it's 1.8 miles.

00:34:22.000 They did it faster than the fastest people in the history of mankind could have done it because they were really inspired by Donald Trump saying, make your voices peacefully heard.

00:34:29.000 And patriotically, by the way.

00:34:32.000 And they were heavy, some of them.

00:34:34.000 Some of them?

00:34:35.000 Some of them were heavy.

00:34:36.000 I don't want to insult anyone.

00:34:38.000 Well, they're down.

00:34:39.000 They can be a little stocky, you know?

00:34:40.000 A little golden Corelli.

00:34:42.000 And you know what's not heavy?

00:34:43.000 It's my Spartan armor.

00:34:44.000 It's Spartan armor systems we'll talk about a little bit later.

00:34:46.000 This is unbelievably light.

00:34:47.000 It's comfortable.

00:34:48.000 It's light.

00:34:48.000 I can breathe.

00:34:49.000 Even wake my bad heart.

00:34:50.000 It's not compressing it further?

00:34:53.000 And this is another claim that they're making.

00:34:54.000 They're making the claim that Trump could be convicted in the Senate impeachment trial.

00:34:57.000 Here's the thing.

00:34:58.000 Forty-five Senate Republicans, they already voted with Rand Paul, who I really do like Rand Paul.

00:35:03.000 He's one of the few guys who, just stop being so catty.

00:35:07.000 Randall is like, I love, but he doesn't need to be so bitchy.

00:35:10.000 No, he's like a gay man watching Sex and the City.

00:35:16.000 You know what, actually, I like this Bill Rand, but I just want to kick the shit out of you.

00:35:29.000 Right.

00:35:30.000 I don't know why!

00:35:31.000 So you know they're not going to do anything with it, right?

00:35:33.000 I mean, there's no way.

00:35:34.000 No, no, no.

00:35:35.000 So that means they could never reach the two-thirds of the majority required.

00:35:38.000 They could absolutely never reach the two-thirds of the majority required to impeach Donald Trump.

00:35:42.000 And you know why we put in two-thirds?

00:35:44.000 When you read back through some of the historical context, they put in two-thirds so it would not be a purely partisan issue.

00:35:50.000 Right.

00:35:50.000 Which we don't have in the House, so it's a partisan issue.

00:35:52.000 Which should be irrelevant in the era of unity, Gerald.

00:35:56.000 Don't be throwing around words like partisan that get us auto-throttled on YouTube.

00:36:01.000 So we should be unified in breaking the law.

00:36:03.000 I just bought an auto-throttler.

00:36:05.000 I just shorted the stock of an auto-throttler.

00:36:09.000 Oh, good.

00:36:10.000 Yeah, just because I'm hoping.

00:36:11.000 One of these days, when I walk off from this show, I'm just going to short the stock of some stock.

00:36:14.000 I'm just going to be like, sell your position!

00:36:16.000 I do it.

00:36:17.000 Sell your position on 7-Eleven and Racetrack!

00:36:20.000 You can buy a Quick Trip if it were publicly traded.

00:36:22.000 Family video.

00:36:23.000 I can see you doing that, actually.

00:36:26.000 Get rid of Blockbuster!

00:36:27.000 Do it now!

00:36:27.000 So do you have any opinions here, Dave, as more of a political... Look, a good example, Dave Lando is a guy who I know wasn't really political, and he's not a Republican, not necessarily a conservative, but you've sort of developed here over the last few years because you've seen this tight grip, this death grip that they try to have on, really, you made this point yesterday, the pursuit of happiness.

00:36:43.000 They're trying to take that away for the first time in American history.

00:36:45.000 The first time, yeah, it is the first time in American history that people are not able to open up their stores.

00:36:50.000 They are being punished for just being alive.

00:36:52.000 They're locked inside.

00:36:53.000 Like, you just start seeing people being attacked every single day, people going crazy.

00:36:58.000 It's sad.

00:36:59.000 And it's the first time that we've ever experienced this in this country.

00:37:02.000 Like, that's my serious opinion.

00:37:04.000 And as somebody who I would say identified like more of like a George Carlin liberal where I just hate everything.

00:37:09.000 I wouldn't really call it liberal, but I'm definitely, I move a little right now obviously

00:37:14.000 because none of, like that's not the left. This is just a group of people who want to take down

00:37:20.000 America and that's what bothers me. Well I don't even think you move to the right a little bit,

00:37:23.000 you know, like where David, like Dave Rubin is like, well it's a classic liberal because

00:37:26.000 you know where you line up.

00:37:27.000 Exactly.

00:37:27.000 Because they are the radical left.

00:37:28.000 Yes.

00:37:28.000 Lockdowns are absurd.

00:37:29.000 Locking out individual investors is absurd.

00:37:31.000 Locking down freedom of speech is absurd.

00:37:33.000 Increasing taxes on middle class businesses is absurd.

00:37:35.000 That makes you...

00:37:36.000 Talk about a wide tent.

00:37:38.000 The fact that Dave Landau would be considered an enemy of the state by someone like an AOC,

00:37:43.000 you would consider yourself moderate, they consider you radical right.

00:37:46.000 Exactly.

00:37:47.000 Because they are the radical left.

00:37:49.000 There really is only a radical left.

00:37:50.000 Let me ask, who is the moderate left?

00:37:54.000 Right now, who is the moderate left?

00:37:56.000 Joe Biden was sold as the most moderate.

00:37:59.000 And true, he doesn't know what he's signing.

00:38:01.000 I don't think so.

00:38:02.000 That's also why I think they're going to weaken at Bernie's this guy until the end of the term.

00:38:05.000 It doesn't matter what happens to him, because we just sign what's in front of you.

00:38:08.000 Well, I think we should... Another executive order, Biden.

00:38:12.000 Take a rest over the head injury doing autographs.

00:38:15.000 They're just like, just keep going.

00:38:16.000 He's like, yeah.

00:38:18.000 Well, Dave, I think one of the reasons that you have moved to the right, as you say... The only president who needs a leather helmet.

00:38:24.000 Or wore one at one time and really caused some issues.

00:38:28.000 Part of the problem, no hair pockets.

00:38:30.000 You had a case study in your hometown on what would happen if liberals got their way, right?

00:38:36.000 You saw what happened when liberals got their way.

00:38:38.000 People moved out, animals moved in, drug dealers moved in, and all kinds of craziness happened, right?

00:38:43.000 So I think you had something right in front of you to see.

00:38:45.000 I've not heard of that in Detroit, but you know, I'll take your word on it.

00:38:51.000 I hate you!

00:38:53.000 Every year there'll be like a panda or something escaping from a drug dealer's house and just walking around.

00:38:59.000 They're like, if you see a tiger out there with a pierced ear, that belongs to a guy named Tron.

00:39:08.000 Also, a rival gang is trying to take it out, but that's primarily because he pierced the gay ear.

00:39:13.000 The wrong ear.

00:39:14.000 We're not big on that in Detroit.

00:39:17.000 Joe Exotic just in.

00:39:18.000 They're great.

00:39:20.000 Joe Exotic, what a guy.

00:39:22.000 That's a name I haven't heard in a while.

00:39:24.000 Look, impeachment is politically... Here's the main takeaway for impeachment, for people who are out there listening.

00:39:29.000 Look, it's silly, this is theatrics, and this is designed to fragment the country while they try to call everyone together for unity.

00:39:38.000 Nope.

00:39:38.000 not interested in unity. Impeaching a former president, right, of course at the behest

00:39:43.000 of the current former vice president, impeaching a former president is unprecedented, it's

00:39:48.000 unconstitutional, they have no interest in unifying with anyone, provided, I don't want

00:39:53.000 to say anyone, but if you have some limitations, for example, on abortions where you don't

00:39:58.000 believe that babies should be killed up until and including birth, they don't want to unify

00:40:02.000 If you believe that you should have the right to protect your life and limb and family with your own firearm and your God-ordained, constitutionally protected Second Amendment right, they don't want to unify with you.

00:40:10.000 If you believe that you should be able to express unpopular opinions on social media or out in a town square, they don't want to unify with you.

00:40:16.000 If you believe that middle-income families actually deserve the right to go to work and businesses deserve the right to hire people and open responsibly, They don't want to unify with you.

00:40:24.000 If you believe that individual investors should be able to invest their own money in the exact same kind of parlor tricks that Wall Street do, they don't want to unify with you.

00:40:32.000 They only want to unify with you if you run one of these big tech companies, if you run one of these big Wall Street firms, or if you are one of the very small percentage of Republicans who want to virtue-signal to Democrats as a part of the sham impeachment because they're starting their next Lincoln Project where they're undoubtedly molesting children in closets.

00:40:51.000 Those are the only people they want to unify with, and guess what?

00:40:54.000 I'm not putting on that team jersey, but I do put on the team jersey of a Spartan number.

00:40:59.000 We're going to talk about Devil Maxkin.

00:41:02.000 Oh, what the... Dave!

00:41:04.000 I am so sorry.

00:41:05.000 I was just playing with it.

00:41:07.000 That is a gross violation of firearm safety.

00:41:11.000 I thought you liked guns here.

00:41:13.000 I do!

00:41:13.000 I don't want to be shot with them!

00:41:15.000 Oh, I... It works!

00:41:17.000 Point that over there.

00:41:18.000 Well, you're not dead.

00:41:18.000 Well, stop pointing it at me!

00:41:20.000 Stop it!

00:41:22.000 No, it works, though!

00:41:23.000 Is it still loaded?

00:41:25.000 Thank God I decided to wear this today.

00:41:27.000 It works, though.

00:41:28.000 You're not dead.

00:41:29.000 I know!

00:41:30.000 Put it down.

00:41:30.000 Look it.

00:41:31.000 Put it down and aim it away from Joe Louis.

00:41:33.000 Finger off the trigger.

00:41:33.000 I'm not aiming it at the dog.

00:41:35.000 No, put it on the couch.

00:41:37.000 There you go.

00:41:37.000 On this couch?

00:41:38.000 Yeah, that couch.

00:41:38.000 That's fine.

00:41:39.000 Should I throw it?

00:41:40.000 Just throw it.

00:41:41.000 By the trigger?

00:41:42.000 Yeah.

00:41:43.000 Just throw it as I get to my plug.

00:41:44.000 I'm sorry.

00:41:45.000 My wonderful sponsor, who will undoubtedly be happy.

00:41:47.000 Spartan Armor, by the way.

00:41:49.000 They have the balls to sponsor this show.

00:41:51.000 And listen, you don't have to be some crazy conspiracy theorist to actually want to be able to protect yourself from some kind of an active shooter situation.

00:41:57.000 This is really light.

00:41:57.000 Or Dave.

00:41:58.000 This is something that I wear.

00:41:59.000 It's a plate carrier, but they have some that go under your clothes that are really light.

00:42:02.000 They're up to like 44 magnum proof and stab.

00:42:05.000 Some of them are stab proof.

00:42:06.000 Some of them are stab resistant.

00:42:07.000 Something that's really big with Spartan armor, there are a lot of armor carriers out there, and they say that they're NIJ equivalent.

00:42:13.000 That's something.

00:42:14.000 These ones are actually NIJ certified.

00:42:17.000 They're actually certified, which is a real thing.

00:42:19.000 It's a certification.

00:42:20.000 It's like a pharmaceutical versus a supplement that says, like, well, you know, we promise that what's on the label is on the label.

00:42:25.000 How do I know?

00:42:26.000 Ah, you screwed up.

00:42:27.000 You trusted us.

00:42:28.000 So their stuff is NIJ certified.

00:42:29.000 You can go to SpartanArmorSystems.com and use the promo code CROWDER, you get 10% off.

00:42:35.000 We use them all the time, Spartan Armor, and sometimes you can't even tell when we're wearing them.

00:42:38.000 Yeah, the thing that I had on election night, that thing was light.

00:42:41.000 The only thing is, I don't want you to shoot me too much because then it does, you know, it compromises it.

00:42:45.000 I know.

00:42:46.000 It wasn't on purpose.

00:42:47.000 Well, next time it'll be you.

00:42:48.000 I will say Allah Akbar next time.

00:42:50.000 You'll have to use a knife then.

00:42:53.000 A knife is good.

00:42:54.000 A guy in a Walmart.

00:42:56.000 So is it stab resistant?

00:42:57.000 Just depending on if it's AOC stabbing you, then it's actually stab proof?

00:43:01.000 Stab resistant.

00:43:02.000 If you're in if you're in Mitz Antifa, you can consider it stab proof.

00:43:05.000 Yeah.

00:43:07.000 Not strong enough.

00:43:08.000 If the Proud Boys show up, you might want to add some tinfoil.

00:43:11.000 They're using their parents' garbage.

00:43:15.000 Mom, I'm fighting fascists!

00:43:17.000 Stop cutting holes in the recycling bin.

00:43:20.000 By being a fascist.

00:43:21.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:43:22.000 It's basically a group of the son from Schitt's Creek.

00:43:25.000 So, let's go.

00:43:26.000 This is another thing, a lie that's agreed upon.

00:43:28.000 Do you remember this?

00:43:30.000 This is something.

00:43:30.000 Remember the double masking?

00:43:33.000 It's really important.

00:43:34.000 We're going to get to all of Fauci's flip-flops, maybe tomorrow, maybe on another day, because I think it's important for people to be held accountable.

00:43:40.000 And, of course, those in the scientific community, really those who politicize science at the top, are never held accountable.

00:43:45.000 But many of you may not remember this, so let's give you a timeline.

00:43:49.000 This wasn't that long ago.

00:43:51.000 Doctor, who hasn't seen a patient in several decades, Fauci, said that wearing two masks was something you should do.

00:44:00.000 So if you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense.

00:44:06.000 Okay, now don't you love how when people were talking about like hydroxychloroquine or these others, they go, well look, if this is treating some kind of an immune response, some sort of an inflamed immune response, some of the other immunomodulators or anti-inflammatories, it makes sense that they might work through the same mechanism of action.

00:44:21.000 Well, there's no science for that!

00:44:23.000 But now you're saying, when someone puts on a smiley face, don't worry, be happy, double target mask, Well, you know what?

00:44:31.000 Listen, that's good enough for me.

00:44:33.000 That's a double-blind, golden standard trial.

00:44:36.000 Well, this was taken so seriously that everyone in the current administration, including our former Vice President, wore double masks.

00:44:44.000 Here you go, look at this.

00:44:45.000 Look at all these people.

00:44:45.000 Where are you, Tocanowan?

00:44:46.000 Bring up the overlay.

00:44:47.000 Bring up the overlay, Tocanone!

00:44:50.000 We need to see all these people being stupid, Tocanone.

00:44:52.000 There you go, look at that.

00:44:53.000 You got Kamala Harris, you got Chucky, you got Butt Gig, you got Fauci himself, Butt Gig again, and Biden.

00:45:00.000 Biden actually didn't realize he had already had a mask on.

00:45:02.000 What's funny is Biden did it over an N95 mask, just because he wanted to virtue... Like, no one is saying you need a second mask over an N95 mask.

00:45:09.000 He's like, screw him!

00:45:10.000 I'll show him that I really care!

00:45:12.000 This is better!

00:45:13.000 No, I think it was a total accident.

00:45:14.000 Then he was like, you better tell them that they need this.

00:45:19.000 Biden, come on, please, Biden, it's embarrassing.

00:45:21.000 Listen, come on, I'm hanging on by a very thin thread here, man!

00:45:25.000 I love how he said it's common sense.

00:45:25.000 Barely here.

00:45:28.000 It's common sense.

00:45:29.000 Well, common sense apparently does not the scientific process make because it turns out...

00:45:34.000 There's no signs to it.

00:45:35.000 Here he is now!

00:45:36.000 Many people who feel, you know, if you really want to have an extra little bit of protection, maybe I should put two masks on.

00:45:44.000 There's nothing wrong with that, but there's no data that indicates that that is going to make a difference, and that's the reason why the CDC has not changed their recommendation.

00:45:54.000 You dismissive prick!

00:45:56.000 This guy's like, oh, yeah, he's like, maybe some people think wearing two masks...

00:46:02.000 That was you!

00:46:04.000 They think it because of you!

00:46:05.000 It would have come from nobody else if not your little Geppetto Pinocchio ass, okay?

00:46:10.000 This guy is playing Simon Says with America.

00:46:15.000 And listen, it's not my fault.

00:46:16.000 I'm not very good at Simon Says.

00:46:18.000 I prefer bop it.

00:46:19.000 Bop it, twist it, bang it, spin it.

00:46:22.000 It's crazy.

00:46:23.000 You know what he just did, though?

00:46:24.000 He said there's nothing- Parker Brothers!

00:46:26.000 He said- Shut up.

00:46:27.000 There's nothing wrong with that.

00:46:28.000 He said there's nothing wrong with two masks.

00:46:29.000 Guess what?

00:46:30.000 There is.

00:46:31.000 There's a lot wrong with two masks!

00:46:33.000 I don't play sorry because I'm not.

00:46:33.000 You know why?

00:46:34.000 If you put two masks on, you can't get enough airflow through the mask, and so it comes in and out from the sides.

00:46:41.000 That's the most important one.

00:46:42.000 Here's the thing. There are several problems with two masks.

00:46:45.000 One, it may make the mask fit improperly or the second mask fit improperly. You're more

00:46:50.000 likely to be fiddling with it with your hands. Also, if you happen to have COVID and you are

00:46:55.000 breathing into the particles of these masks, it's like dandy lion root that you can breathe and aspirate

00:47:00.000 these particles and it can actually make it more harmful. Not to mention the fact that it makes

00:47:04.000 you look like a dick.

00:47:05.000 That's the most important one.

00:47:07.000 I don't, listen, I don't, I don't like to make absolute litmus tests.

00:47:10.000 If you wear two masks, we will never be friends.

00:47:14.000 Never.

00:47:15.000 You are not welcome to my house.

00:47:17.000 Ever.

00:47:17.000 And I have house parties with more than six people all the time.

00:47:19.000 I don't give a rat's ass.

00:47:19.000 Send the Gestapo.

00:47:20.000 Yeah, it's true, you do.

00:47:22.000 I love all the people saying, you know, taking pictures and selfies and stuff and putting it online with two masks.

00:47:26.000 It's like, oh my god.

00:47:27.000 People also took a picture of men, you know, themselves crying.

00:47:27.000 The double mask!

00:47:32.000 Selfies and put it on Instagram like that was okay.

00:47:35.000 It's like you're crying because Biden won?

00:47:37.000 You're not my friend.

00:47:38.000 Put a mask over your whole face.

00:47:41.000 Plastic, with packing.

00:47:42.000 It's so sad.

00:47:44.000 And a rubber band.

00:47:44.000 And not to mention, there's a problem.

00:47:47.000 The double mask is the mark of the anti-science beast.

00:47:50.000 Okay, the double mask is the mark of the anti-science beast because you don't believe in science, you have no respect for the scientific process, not to mention the worst effects, which are the societal ramifications of everyone being degraded, everyone being insulted and labeled a science denier if they did not in fact wear two masks.

00:48:11.000 But here you go, this is something, just in case you think it was just Dr. Fauci, this was parroted and you were actually given instructions on mainstream media Predicated on the idea of a scientific basis as to how to utilize the double mask.

00:48:26.000 Certainly if you have an immunocompromised condition or any other medical problem that is seriously compromising your immune system or you're older, then you might be a person who needs to wear two masks, especially in more dangerous situations like going out in crowded spaces.

00:48:40.000 Joe Biden does it.

00:48:42.000 Mitt Romney double-masked during the Capitol insurrection.

00:48:45.000 Tom Cruise also double-masked.

00:48:47.000 Actually putting the cloth mask first.

00:48:50.000 And then putting the surgical mask on top of it.

00:48:54.000 You just made this an N95 right here.

00:48:56.000 Wearing two good quality masks can provide an extra layer of protection.

00:49:02.000 Yeah, you gotta think it's just an added layer, an added wall between you and the world there.

00:49:07.000 With regards to doubling up on surgical or cloth masks, I would say that that adds extra protection in terms of the droplets being expelled.

00:49:16.000 Place the surgical mask on your face first.

00:49:19.000 Now place the cloth mask on top.

00:49:21.000 The cloth mask provides a physical barrier to respiratory droplets.

00:49:25.000 Well, there you go.

00:49:26.000 It turns out there's no science behind any of that.

00:49:28.000 Don't you love that instruction there?

00:49:29.000 They're going, two, and by the way, did you notice that the last one, that was Washington Post.

00:49:33.000 Yeah.

00:49:33.000 Was telling you to do it the opposite way.

00:49:35.000 They flipped it.

00:49:35.000 Yeah.

00:49:38.000 Tom Cruise was just trying to replace his two beards.

00:49:42.000 By the way, the masks don't work at all if you have facial hair.

00:49:44.000 Is that true?

00:49:44.000 Did you know that?

00:49:45.000 That's what they say.

00:49:45.000 They're like, it doesn't work.

00:49:46.000 Shave your facial hair.

00:49:47.000 So just shave our facial hair way too... Okay, what's the instruction?

00:49:51.000 Shave your facial hair.

00:49:52.000 Don't wear a mask.

00:49:53.000 Actually, you should wear a mask.

00:49:55.000 Now wear two masks.

00:49:56.000 No, put it back!

00:49:57.000 Put it back!

00:49:58.000 One mask!

00:49:58.000 And then at any point, if you go, hold on a second.

00:50:01.000 Is there science for any of this shit?

00:50:03.000 You're labeled a science denier.

00:50:04.000 I don't think I've ever seen someone deny science more than Fauci if his previous statement was considered science.

00:50:12.000 Every statement he makes is considered science by the left right now.

00:50:15.000 Everything he says is gospel.

00:50:17.000 Are we able to get Thomas Finnegan?

00:50:18.000 We are going to be able to get Thomas Finnegan.

00:50:20.000 We're going to be talking tomorrow about the science from tests, and listen, I want people to get tested.

00:50:25.000 By the way, anyone in the studio here who wants a vaccine, I'm just going to hit this talk to the control room.

00:50:30.000 Anyone in the control room out there who wants a vaccine, I'll pay for anyone who wants a vaccine.

00:50:33.000 I don't want one, okay?

00:50:34.000 And I want people here to understand the science, and I want people to stay safe.

00:50:40.000 Yes, of course.

00:50:41.000 But the tests have not been what we were told.

00:50:43.000 The vaccines, which they said you shouldn't trust, now they're saying you trust.

00:50:45.000 They're a little masking now, Fauci, saying there is no science for it.

00:50:48.000 The good news is, though, at least the good old Chinese are coming up with some new methods, and right now this is on... I mean, it's making its way to the public.

00:50:57.000 They feel pretty good about the new testing, a new anal swab, I think.

00:51:00.000 Oh, let's make sure we got it.

00:51:06.000 Yeah, this is... Oh, that was it.

00:51:07.000 Ah.

00:51:10.000 So this is actually what they're developing in China right now to check your viral load.

00:51:15.000 Must be their anniversary.

00:51:19.000 So, yeah, that's enough.

00:51:21.000 And I think, you know, here sometimes at Latter-day Scriber, we get an exclusive before other people do.

00:51:25.000 We get access, you know, listen, we get access to Spartan Armor,

00:51:28.000 Walther.

00:51:29.000 We have, I guess, what would you call it, sort of premier access

00:51:32.000 to the anal swab.

00:51:34.000 And Thomas Finnegan is actually testing it for you.

00:51:37.000 Time to go on the ground with Thomas Finnegan.

00:51:40.000 All right.

00:51:49.000 Thomas Finnegan, are you there, sir?

00:51:51.000 Can you hear us?

00:51:52.000 Yes, Stephen.

00:51:53.000 Good morning.

00:51:53.000 How are you?

00:51:54.000 Good morning.

00:51:55.000 Okay, let us know.

00:51:55.000 Fill us in.

00:51:56.000 What's going on?

00:51:57.000 What is this new COVID testing method?

00:51:59.000 What can people expect?

00:52:00.000 Well, it depends on how you look at it.

00:52:04.000 The way I like to look at it is we're looking for accuracy.

00:52:07.000 Okay.

00:52:08.000 And you go straight to the horse's mouth to get that.

00:52:11.000 Okay, and when can we expect the rollout?

00:52:13.000 Well, again, it depends on your location and which municipality you're in.

00:52:20.000 They all have their own schedules.

00:52:22.000 It's very district-to-district.

00:52:23.000 Exactly. And, uh...

00:52:25.000 You...

00:52:26.000 You...

00:52:27.000 Is that...

00:52:27.000 Yeah!

00:52:28.000 Mmm.

00:52:28.000 You get swabbed now!

00:52:38.000 Okay, now we have our next guest, hopefully Thomas Finnegan figures, I hope he finds what he's looking for.

00:52:43.000 He'll get it.

00:52:44.000 Really grateful.

00:52:44.000 Accuracy has no price.

00:52:45.000 It really has no price.

00:52:46.000 You can't put a price on accuracy, and watch, in two months we'll find out that does nothing for you.

00:52:52.000 Of course!

00:52:53.000 Some gay Chinese doctor like, oh, and a swab!

00:52:56.000 You must, you must, you must control your must!

00:52:59.000 It goes pretty far, it knows.

00:53:02.000 All right, now this is a good show.

00:53:04.000 This is a good show, and our next guest is a good guest.

00:53:07.000 It is time for the guest segment with Mike Rowe, everybody!

00:53:14.000 Senior Rowe, I am sorry for that introduction.

00:53:17.000 How are you, sir?

00:53:18.000 I'm living the dream, dude.

00:53:19.000 Or whatever this is.

00:53:20.000 Yeah, well, you know, you can call it whatever you want.

00:53:23.000 Some people say nightmare.

00:53:24.000 Your Twitter is Mike Rowe Works.

00:53:26.000 That still does work, ironically.

00:53:29.000 And I wanted to talk with you about a few things.

00:53:31.000 You have this new show, right?

00:53:33.000 Six Degrees with Mike Rowe.

00:53:35.000 And can you explain for people who don't know, and we'll get to what's happened with the show, what the show is, what it was about?

00:53:41.000 Sure.

00:53:42.000 But I feel duty-bound to first show you that the masks Mike Rowe Works has embraced Say, Safety Third, and we've sold a ton of them, and I just couldn't help but watch and think to myself, you know, anybody who's going to put two of those things on, why stop at two, right?

00:54:01.000 I mean, three, four, whatever.

00:54:05.000 I want those for my mom, because my mom is French-Canadian, and I just want to hear her talk about her safety turd mask.

00:54:11.000 Right, because she can't say, what, T's or H's?

00:54:13.000 She can't say T's or H's, and she adds S's where there are none, and she never used plurals where they should be.

00:54:18.000 So when we're having twins, we're going to name our daughter Eder.

00:54:21.000 So just to bust her chops.

00:54:23.000 That's awesome.

00:54:26.000 So safety turd, okay.

00:54:28.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:54:29.000 Oh, Six Degrees.

00:54:30.000 Brand new show, Discovery Plus, new streaming service.

00:54:36.000 It's a history show for people who wouldn't watch history shows.

00:54:39.000 Each episode starts with a truly stupid question.

00:54:44.000 Can a horseshoe help you find your soulmate?

00:54:46.000 Can a mousetrap cure your hangover?

00:54:50.000 Can a sheep do your taxes? The answer to these questions is always yes.

00:54:53.000 But I get an hour to try and connect these two seemingly disparate points by walking through

00:55:00.000 time and space on a budget and bringing various events to life vis-a-vis a surprising use of

00:55:07.000 animation, puppets, archival footage, suspicious reenactments, costumes that rarely fit,

00:55:14.000 wigs that don't cover people's heads entirely.

00:55:18.000 It's kind of a hot mess.

00:55:19.000 So it's kind of a Rube Goldberg for the social media attention span.

00:55:24.000 It is.

00:55:24.000 I mean, there was a show on years ago in the 70s called Connections, which was hosted by a brilliant guy named James Burke, who's the college professor we all wish we had.

00:55:34.000 And he He did this show, he would walk through like the Moors of England, you know, in his white leisure suit with his hair snapping in the breeze, explaining why it is that the tracks left by the first Roman chariots are of the same dimension as the tracks left on the moon by the lunar lander.

00:55:55.000 Well, and not to be confused with the Moors who, you know, changed the tint over there in Sicily.

00:55:59.000 That's another story.

00:56:01.000 Beethoven.

00:56:01.000 We should talk about Beethoven one day and his ancestry.

00:56:04.000 Christopher Walken.

00:56:05.000 True romance.

00:56:06.000 True romance.

00:56:08.000 I don't know if we can get banned for even referencing a classic film now.

00:56:11.000 That's a good point.

00:56:12.000 But that is fascinating.

00:56:13.000 And this is on Discovery.

00:56:15.000 And it's like you say, it's designed for people maybe who don't necessarily watch history shows.

00:56:18.000 But I gotta tell you, most history shows suck.

00:56:21.000 And this is why.

00:56:22.000 I was on my honeymoon, and it was the History Channel at this point, and it was raining, and there's only, you know, at a certain point you can't spare the fluids.

00:56:29.000 And so we were in our room, and it was the History Channel, or Discovery Channel, and it was, remember the mermaid special?

00:56:36.000 Oh yeah.

00:56:36.000 special on the mermaid and I didn't have cable for years and so I tuned into the history channel and

00:56:42.000 I thought it was what the history channel had been when I had seen it years ago. I said this is

00:56:46.000 about mermaids. So it sounds to me like what you're doing is actually far more valuable than what most

00:56:51.000 of these educational channels. There are always a lot of midgets who are like buying dresses.

00:56:56.000 It doesn't seem like their education. Morbidly obese people.

00:56:58.000 Yeah. Well you've also got to look out for the morbidly obese midgets which you don't see a

00:57:04.000 lot of but they're out there and it's very And they can't swim well.

00:57:08.000 No.

00:57:11.000 But they're buoyant, so it makes up for it.

00:57:13.000 I'm sorry.

00:57:14.000 Watching them shop is hilarious.

00:57:16.000 There was a time when, you know, the History Channel wasn't just an H. It was really, the whole thing was history.

00:57:23.000 And Discovery wasn't just a D. And nonfiction really meant the absence of fiction.

00:57:29.000 And reality actually meant the presence of real things.

00:57:35.000 In those days, there was a show called Dirty Jobs, which I was happy to do, that used something we called a truth cam, which was really just a documentary camera.

00:57:43.000 We never stopped rolling on that show because we never did a second take, and so I used the footage from that camera to try and prove to the viewer that we weren't completely full of crap.

00:57:54.000 Telling them a made-up story on six degrees.

00:57:57.000 We do the same thing except dirty jobs was really the making of a show about dirty jobs And this is the making of a show about a bunch of people who had some bourbon and tried to figure out a neat parlor trick based on six degrees of Kevin Bacon but couldn't find Kevin Bacon so got Mike Rowe and Yeah, well, you know what?

00:58:17.000 Listen, if you can't get a Tom Cruise, you get a Jude Law.

00:58:19.000 If you can't get a Kevin Bacon, you get a Mike Rowe.

00:58:21.000 But I would choose Mike Rowe.

00:58:22.000 One of the greatest compliments I ever got was, you know, when I could start growing a beard facial scruff at the age of 22.

00:58:27.000 I had a lady who said, I really like that.

00:58:30.000 It's like that sexy Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs.

00:58:33.000 I love she just she wouldn't stop talking about your scruff.

00:58:37.000 Yeah.

00:58:38.000 Had a lady tell me I had the sexy scruff of Mike Rowe.

00:58:40.000 I'm not a lady.

00:58:42.000 And then she told me that it looked like I had tits because I was fat at that point.

00:58:47.000 That's a hard turn.

00:58:47.000 There's pain, Steven.

00:58:48.000 Yes, there is.

00:58:49.000 That's a backhanded compliment if I've ever heard one.

00:58:52.000 It was mainly just an insult.

00:58:53.000 But I want to move to this, and then we're going to go to Mug Club exclusive because sometimes we can't talk about everything on YouTube.

00:58:59.000 He had a show, a Facebook show as well, and this was called Returning the Favor, and it was extremely popular, well-received, Now, it was cancelled, from what I understand.

00:59:07.000 I don't want to speak out of turn.

00:59:09.000 Why was the show cancelled?

00:59:11.000 Was it cancelled?

00:59:12.000 What's the story behind that?

00:59:13.000 Because, as you know, a lot of things are being removed from the history books or social media platforms these days.

00:59:20.000 Yeah, so, on my page right now, there are about 30,000 people who are fairly upset.

00:59:29.000 And on the Returning the Favor page, there are two and a half million people who just learned that One of the most popular shows on Facebook was canceled last week at the height, seemingly at the height of its popularity.

00:59:43.000 An Emmy award-winning show, Steven.

00:59:45.000 I don't know if you've noticed, but can you see the Emmy okay back there?

00:59:48.000 I can't, but I was looking at your scruff.

00:59:51.000 It's the depth of field effect.

00:59:52.000 I just can't stop looking at your puttum, but I'm sure it's lovely.

00:59:56.000 Yes, it's awesome.

00:59:58.000 Anyway, the show was canceled after four seasons and a hundred episodes, and a lot of people are assuming that it's because I may have said or done

01:00:07.000 something to run afoul of the powers that be.

01:00:11.000 And so I've been making the rounds telling my story of this thing, which is really not a terribly

01:00:16.000 exciting story. It's that the show got canceled. I don't think I did, but the show definitely did.

01:00:23.000 But why did it get canceled if it was up its height and so popular?

01:00:25.000 Now this is where it gets a little weird.

01:00:28.000 I appreciate you being diplomatic.

01:00:31.000 And I feel ignorant here.

01:00:32.000 This is like one of the worst interviews that was ever conducted was Larry King versus Jerry Seinfeld.

01:00:36.000 I don't know if you ever saw that where he goes, he goes, Jerry, he goes, Seinfeld, to be clear, wasn't canceled.

01:00:45.000 Larry wasn't cancelled.

01:00:46.000 You walked away!

01:00:47.000 Number one show of all time.

01:00:49.000 Can someone get Larry my resume?

01:00:50.000 Larry!

01:00:51.000 It was almost as good as when he asked the snowboarder, how important is the board?

01:00:57.000 Right up there with the snow.

01:01:00.000 50-50.

01:01:01.000 I kind of need two things, three if you count the weed.

01:01:05.000 So why, again, because The Ark, and I know that it was so popular, and I'm not even on Facebook, where I had to go to Facebook to watch some of these installments.

01:01:14.000 Did you get an answer as to why it was canceled?

01:01:16.000 Because you didn't cancel it.

01:01:17.000 You didn't choose to walk away.

01:01:18.000 Here's what's important to me.

01:01:20.000 The show's got a lot of fans and they're all asking me if I can take it someplace else.

01:01:25.000 A. No, I didn't own that particular show.

01:01:29.000 B. I don't want people to think I pulled the plug.

01:01:32.000 I didn't.

01:01:33.000 And C. And maybe most importantly, modesty aside, is I don't want people think the show didn't work because it wasn't successful.

01:01:41.000 All those things were true, right?

01:01:43.000 But in this stupid business that we're in, Big companies make big decisions for all sorts of incomprehensible reasons.

01:01:50.000 Dirty Jobs was cancelled at the height of its popularity, and I moped around for a couple of months not understanding how the network could make a call like that.

01:02:00.000 And this is hard for me to say.

01:02:01.000 I know what's going on with you and Facebook, and on a personal level I've been very vocal about the things that worry me.

01:02:10.000 I'm worried about censorship.

01:02:12.000 I'm worried about safe spaces.

01:02:13.000 I don't think any of that's good for the country.

01:02:16.000 And here I am with a hit show that just went away.

01:02:20.000 And the truth of it is, as best as I can tell, I didn't get cancelled.

01:02:26.000 I got fired.

01:02:27.000 And I've been fired four.

01:02:28.000 But you didn't get fired because they could swap you out.

01:02:31.000 And by the way, if you are looking to bring the show somewhere, we could bring it under the Mug Club banner and we could just, you know, retitle it Performing Favors.

01:02:36.000 But I think that you weren't fired because they would have swapped you out with another host, right?

01:02:41.000 They would have been like, and Performing Favors with Dave Rubin or, you know, whoever, you know, Tim Pool.

01:02:46.000 The show was cancelled.

01:02:47.000 Do you think it had anything to do with the fact for people who don't know, this show also was sort of highlighting the fact that we, as a society, Place so much value on overpriced college degrees.

01:02:58.000 You've been championing this cause for a long time, not because you hate the institution of education, but because you, when I hear you talk about it, I can tell that you passionately, you compassionately want people to be gainfully employed and to be able to live out the American dream.

01:03:11.000 And that, in many instances, for many people, the path is trade schools, running small businesses.

01:03:17.000 I mean, it goes back to dirty jobs, but that was a big part of your show returning the favor, correct?

01:03:24.000 Facebook has allowed me to build a foundation from really the ground up.

01:03:30.000 I mean, I started that micro works 13 years ago on Labor Day, but in 2012 we started raising money and awarding work ethic scholarships.

01:03:40.000 About five, five and a half million dollars so far.

01:03:43.000 And I couldn't have done it without Facebook, right?

01:03:47.000 And this is just a reality of the world we live in.

01:03:49.000 Of course.

01:03:50.000 You wind up, sooner or later, Kind of resenting the thing you rely upon, whether it's affordable electricity or, you know, go down the list.

01:04:00.000 Well, social media is no different.

01:04:02.000 So I'm suddenly in this position now where I've got six million people on a Facebook page.

01:04:06.000 I've been able to use it to do, I think, a pretty good thing, as well as this show, by the way, Returning the Favor, which was just a straight-up unapologetic anthem to do goodery.

01:04:17.000 I mean, we just Highlighted people in zip codes you've never been to doing nice things for their community.

01:04:24.000 It was a show tailor-made for these times.

01:04:27.000 Right.

01:04:27.000 But to your point, something weird has happened with our language today and when you talk about things like work ethic and Delayed gratification, personal responsibility, attitude, right?

01:04:42.000 All of those things go into our Work Ethic Scholarship Program and you have to sign a document, a sweat pledge, that basically says, I'm on board with all this stuff.

01:04:51.000 Right.

01:04:52.000 That position, I don't know when it happened, but sometime between 2010 and today, those words all became Problematic yeah, and for some reason more associated with one side of the aisle than the other so a lot of people on my page Right now as we're talking are like oh no your show got cancelled because you talked about work ethic for the record I don't think that's what happened, but I understand why people would look at it and say oh

01:05:21.000 What other explanation can there be?

01:05:23.000 And that's why I'm in such a profoundly weird spot.

01:05:27.000 Have you asked for answers as to why it got cancelled?

01:05:29.000 Or is that something you can't talk about?

01:05:31.000 Because it seems like they could just say, Oh, you know, you cost too much.

01:05:34.000 Everybody doing your, you know, you did your Ford commercials.

01:05:36.000 And everyone, you know, we don't, we're Facebook.

01:05:38.000 We don't have any money. We're broke.

01:05:40.000 Yeah, look, nothing to an outside objector really lines up.

01:05:45.000 Right.

01:05:45.000 If you're Facebook, you can't say we ran out of money.

01:05:48.000 On the other hand, you know how it works.

01:05:50.000 Budgets are budgets.

01:05:52.000 COVID came, their next season of shows wound up getting paid for with money that might have been allocated for this and everything got put on hold and so forth and so on.

01:06:02.000 Bottom line was, They were very gracious.

01:06:05.000 They called me.

01:06:05.000 They said, look, this sucks, but this is what we got to do.

01:06:09.000 We had a great run.

01:06:09.000 We did a hundred episodes.

01:06:11.000 Hope there are no hard feelings.

01:06:12.000 And I said, you know what?

01:06:13.000 There are no hard feelings.

01:06:15.000 I appreciate the fact that you guys support my foundation and so forth.

01:06:19.000 So right.

01:06:19.000 I would say hard feelings.

01:06:20.000 I'd say very hard feelings.

01:06:22.000 But dude, this is the thing.

01:06:24.000 This is, this is, I think part of why.

01:06:27.000 I'm petty and small minded.

01:06:28.000 So take that into account.

01:06:31.000 I am too.

01:06:32.000 I am too.

01:06:33.000 But.

01:06:35.000 Two things can be true at the same time.

01:06:38.000 They have to be.

01:06:39.000 And it's true that I share your concern for all things Libertarian and all things First Amendment.

01:06:47.000 I really do.

01:06:48.000 It's also true that I've built a foundation and a business around six million people on a Facebook page that coincidentally greenlit a show four years ago that a bunch of people also like.

01:07:00.000 Of course.

01:07:01.000 I can lean into one and I'll sound like a sycophant for big tech, or I can lean into the other and I'll sound like an anarchist in my bunker wearing a bulletproof vest or whatever's going on.

01:07:12.000 It's a sponsor.

01:07:13.000 It's a sponsor.

01:07:16.000 I get it.

01:07:16.000 It works.

01:07:16.000 But it's like, where the hell do you draw a line?

01:07:19.000 And, like, I think the country is trapped, right?

01:07:22.000 We're just trapped in one or the other.

01:07:25.000 Well, you know what?

01:07:25.000 What's Guttfeld call it?

01:07:27.000 The prison of two ideas.

01:07:29.000 I don't know.

01:07:29.000 I don't have cable.

01:07:30.000 But I do want to... So, before we go, because I want to talk a little bit more here for Mug Club members, so you can say whatever you want.

01:07:36.000 He's just a foul-mouthed little man when he gets off the YouTube.

01:07:55.000 Actually, we might not play Bad Movie Lines.
