Transcript

00:00:00.000 June 18th, Pikes Peak Center, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
00:00:22.000 Prepares for the funniest show on earth.
00:00:29.000 Hold on, I'm gonna pull a U-ey.
00:00:34.000 That's how I say U-turn.
00:00:35.000 U-ey!
00:00:40.000 A U-ey!
00:00:43.000 So you think that guy's gonna tell on us?
00:00:48.000 Yui.
00:00:50.000 I'm sorry.
00:01:04.000 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 🎵Mario Kart 8-1-1 Theme🎵
00:01:24.000 🎵Mario Kart 8-1-1 Theme🎵 🎵Mario Kart 8-1-1 Theme🎵
00:03:12.000 Mmm.
00:03:13.000 That's the sound of Monday.
00:03:14.000 Yeah.
00:03:15.000 I mean, it's the sound of every day.
00:03:17.000 Yeah, that's true.
00:03:17.000 Pretty much.
00:03:18.000 But you haven't been with us over the weekend, which I should let you know because we're going to be talking about Monkey Box.
00:03:25.000 Monkey Boxing.
00:03:26.000 I'm sure it happened somewhere in Thailand.
00:03:27.000 No, no, no.
00:03:28.000 You box him.
00:03:29.000 Go uppercut, hook, left, right.
00:03:30.000 Not where my mind went.
00:03:32.000 And Monkey Pox, which is, hint, right now primarily a thing with the gays.
00:03:38.000 So, if we are not on YouTube, of course, you can watch this stream on Rumble, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
00:03:45.000 Eastern, and we have an additional 45 minutes to an hour every day on Mug Club, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
00:03:50.000 Eastern.
00:03:51.000 We never know when we get removed from YouTube.
00:03:53.000 It's just like a surprise that's smiling at me in my inbox.
00:03:59.000 That's what you want to say.
00:04:00.000 So we will be talking about monkeypox today.
00:04:01.000 Everything you need to know.
00:04:04.000 First off, most of you right now don't really need to worry about it.
00:04:07.000 What you need to worry about is the media lying, and you need to worry about the CDC lying, and you need to worry about former Vice President Joe Biden being retarded.
00:04:13.000 Those are the primary concerns.
00:04:17.000 But I will say this, if you haven't taken part in any, how should I say this, and if you have kids I should warn you that we're going to be discussing the realities of monkey pox today so it's probably not age appropriate, so three, two, if you haven't been attending Fetish gay orgies in Brussels where you're raw-dogging strange Somali pirates.
00:04:40.000 You're probably fine.
00:04:41.000 Excuse me, I have to go to the doctor.
00:04:42.000 Yes.
00:04:45.000 Well, the problem is his pirate is a Somali doctor.
00:04:47.000 Ah.
00:04:48.000 Your pox belong to mine now.
00:04:50.000 Your pox belong to me.
00:04:52.000 So we're going to be talking about that.
00:04:54.000 We're going to be talking about Taiwan, which is a big deal.
00:04:55.000 You know, we've done, I recommend that you go watch this segment that we did a long time ago on what a war between China and Taiwan would look like and what the United States needs to do.
00:05:03.000 Again, your primary concern here is that former Vice President Joe Biden has been saying things that don't match up with other things that don't match up with the State Department and none of it makes sense.
00:05:12.000 And again, the concern is, you know, primarily mental retardation.
00:05:15.000 So my question to you for the day is, would you rather get monkey pox Or spend a weekend with Kamala Harris.
00:05:25.000 So monkey pox or herpes?
00:05:29.000 Guessing.
00:05:30.000 Allegedly.
00:05:31.000 Allegedly.
00:05:32.000 Half the city council.
00:05:34.000 Possibly monkey pox or monkey pox and herpes.
00:05:38.000 Mr. Mayor Willie Brown, can we ask you about the city council herpes epidemic?
00:05:41.000 I have no idea!
00:05:44.000 Why do you keep holding in your lip and covering your mouth when you talk?
00:05:46.000 I don't know.
00:05:48.000 I'm excited!
00:05:49.000 Anybody got a breather?
00:05:50.000 All right.
00:05:50.000 Can you kiss my baby?
00:05:53.000 No, let's not do that.
00:05:54.000 Baby just turns around looking like the elephant man.
00:06:01.000 All right, before we move on with all that, Gerald A. is here.
00:06:04.000 Glad to have you with us.
00:06:05.000 How are you, sir?
00:06:05.000 I am well, sir.
00:06:06.000 How are you?
00:06:06.000 Okay, I have a little bit of a scratchy throat.
00:06:08.000 Yeah.
00:06:09.000 I don't think it's monkey pox because I haven't been How are you?
00:06:13.000 I was better until I screwed up the connection with the Blaze.
00:06:17.000 That's why we started late.
00:06:19.000 I kicked it right here because you made me angry and I know that I need to learn how to deal with my anger.
00:06:25.000 It's not that you won't like him when he's angry, he's just very annoying when he's angry.
00:06:30.000 He's catty.
00:06:32.000 He's bitchy.
00:06:32.000 He's monkey pox carrier-like.
00:06:34.000 How dare you.
00:06:35.000 And then you know him, you see him, you love him, you can hear him, you can follow him on Twitter at LandauDave, the quickest wit in the West, the quickest man on his feet, and we're going to be on tour here in Colorado Springs.
00:06:46.000 Is it June 18th?
00:06:47.000 June 18th.
00:06:48.000 But a lot of Scotty.com slash tour.
00:06:49.000 There are, I think, like a couple hundred tickets left.
00:06:53.000 It's effectively a morning show because we couldn't get the venue late.
00:06:55.000 Feels like it.
00:06:56.000 How are you?
00:06:56.000 Yeah.
00:06:57.000 Ahoy.
00:06:57.000 Good.
00:06:58.000 How about you?
00:06:58.000 I was laying you up for ahoy.
00:06:59.000 Ahoy.
00:07:00.000 No monkey pox?
00:07:01.000 Not at the moment.
00:07:02.000 I thought we had a vaccine against monkey pox.
00:07:04.000 Against smallpox.
00:07:06.000 Oh, but not against Monkeypop.
00:07:07.000 No, it works.
00:07:08.000 Oh, because I thought I've been vaccinated.
00:07:10.000 You may have.
00:07:12.000 Yeah.
00:07:12.000 Again, it's not really a concern for you or for me.
00:07:15.000 Unless they're lying.
00:07:16.000 This is the thing.
00:07:17.000 Well, we'll get to it.
00:07:18.000 It could be mutated.
00:07:19.000 Right.
00:07:19.000 You know, and that's one of those things where we don't know if the CDC is lying or Biden is lying because they're not saying the same thing.
00:07:24.000 Or both!
00:07:25.000 Who knows?
00:07:26.000 Or both.
00:07:26.000 Could be third option.
00:07:27.000 I don't know.
00:07:27.000 I think we need to interrogate all of the people who were at that gay fetish festival, like the next 48.
00:07:32.000 Steven, it's just a festival.
00:07:33.000 Is this Chicken Pox?
00:07:34.000 I don't understand.
00:07:35.000 Yeah, you see the next 48, where they always interrogate people?
00:07:39.000 You know, just ask them, like, hey, twink dog, did you see Lube Bear yesterday?
00:07:44.000 Like, I don't know nothing about Lube Bear!
00:07:47.000 Why are you covering Monkey Pox?
00:07:48.000 I mean, we hung out once.
00:07:51.000 My penis is now ribbed.
00:07:53.000 What's wrong with Pox?
00:07:55.000 Chicken?
00:07:56.000 I got, I got, I don't have, I got two pox.
00:07:59.000 Alright, let's go to this before that because we want a little bit of levity.
00:08:04.000 Although there'll be plenty of levity with monkey pox, let's be honest.
00:08:06.000 We're mostly fine.
00:08:08.000 This guy here, oh I always love this, you know, they cancelled cop so we bring it to you.
00:08:13.000 This guy almost got away with vandalizing a cop car.
00:08:16.000 And by almost, I mean not at all.
00:08:27.000 Yeah, throw the punch.
00:08:30.000 And then he gets, watch, pepper sprayed?
00:08:32.000 Oh man.
00:08:34.000 That's the problem with pepper spray is black guys can run faster than fat white cops.
00:08:41.000 Yes, that's true.
00:08:42.000 But here's the thing.
00:08:44.000 When you do too many drugs... Oh!
00:08:45.000 It is blinding.
00:08:50.000 I love how he could have very easily recovered, but gave up.
00:08:55.000 It's like, ah!
00:08:57.000 Ah, damn!
00:08:58.000 Ah!
00:09:00.000 Ah!
00:09:00.000 Screw it, I'll stay here.
00:09:01.000 Why didn't you show Alfonso Ribeiro giving him the ten grand?
00:09:04.000 Yes!
00:09:06.000 That's awesome!
00:09:09.000 What are you in for?
00:09:10.000 Whoa!
00:09:11.000 You're the guy!
00:09:12.000 You hit the pole!
00:09:13.000 Hey guys!
00:09:14.000 You hit the pole, Leece, then you hit the pole!
00:09:17.000 The cops are just like, we got him.
00:09:18.000 It's like, kinda.
00:09:19.000 Kinda.
00:09:20.000 Like he ran into a pole.
00:09:21.000 I chased him down.
00:09:22.000 We have video footage.
00:09:24.000 Well, a pole.
00:09:25.000 Hey!
00:09:26.000 Hey!
00:09:27.000 Hey, Carl!
00:09:27.000 It's the guy who hit that!
00:09:28.000 Yeah, the one who hit it like the Flintstones!
00:09:30.000 Like, dong!
00:09:30.000 That motherblader!
00:09:31.000 He's right in here!
00:09:35.000 That's not the only pole.
00:09:36.000 Welcome to jail.
00:09:37.000 I heard you like poles.
00:09:38.000 That's it.
00:09:39.000 That's right.
00:09:40.000 Also pepper spray.
00:09:41.000 We got some spicy Latin King.
00:09:44.000 I like to stab.
00:09:45.000 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
00:09:47.000 Why would you try to vandalize a cop car in broad daylight like they're not nearby in a crowded area?
00:09:54.000 Oh, I'm sorry.
00:09:55.000 That's just wonderful.
00:09:56.000 I mean, he's probably talking trash as he's running away.
00:09:58.000 Yeah.
00:10:01.000 Gotta pick your moment, though.
00:10:02.000 That's not your time to shine.
00:10:03.000 No, I'm surprised.
00:10:04.000 But again, I'm surprised he didn't get up.
00:10:06.000 No.
00:10:06.000 And run away.
00:10:07.000 Because you would think him committing that crime, it's so stupid that he would have to be on some mind-altering substance like PCP or something, that that would allow him to recover very quickly.
00:10:15.000 So I can't make heads or tails of it.
00:10:17.000 All I know is it's a feel-good story of the year.
00:10:19.000 It really is, yes.
00:10:20.000 Justice was served.
00:10:21.000 Although those cops need to do some cardiovascular activity.
00:10:24.000 Let's go, guys.
00:10:26.000 They didn't even, what was that, 30 yards?
00:10:28.000 Yeah, the guy just gives up.
00:10:30.000 He's like eight steps in and he's like, just go.
00:10:32.000 It's like the Detroit Lions defense.
00:10:34.000 They're like, ah, he's two feet ahead of me.
00:10:35.000 I'll let him go.
00:10:36.000 We all know we're not going to win.
00:10:37.000 We're insured.
00:10:39.000 I'm not pulling a hammy for that guy.
00:10:42.000 I don't give a rat's ass.
00:10:43.000 They've defunded us as it is.
00:10:45.000 I don't, you know.
00:10:46.000 Whatever.
00:10:46.000 It's the shoe of the day.
00:10:47.000 We don't have the insoles anymore.
00:10:49.000 My knees are bad.
00:10:50.000 Could have gone pro.
00:10:51.000 Yep.
00:10:53.000 It's not worth the bunion damage.
00:10:56.000 Gonna go back.
00:10:56.000 I need a knife when I get to the corns.
00:10:58.000 All right.
00:11:00.000 This is something that's new to, well, not new.
00:11:03.000 Maybe new to you guys, but Twitter.
00:11:05.000 But it's near and dear to Dave's heart.
00:11:07.000 Now, again, we'll be in Colorado Springs June 18th.
00:11:09.000 And Dave has some shows coming up this weekend.
00:11:10.000 You can see all of them at livewithcreditor.com slash tour.
00:11:13.000 We have a big fall tour we'll be announcing too.
00:11:15.000 So, you know, comedians being attacked on stage is kind of a big thing physically.
00:11:19.000 But even more than that, it's just comedians now, there's this constant fear of performing and fear of backlash and they have to take all these measures of making sure that people aren't taking video and taking pictures or, you know, shooting them.
00:11:33.000 So John Mulaney, this has been happening and now he's under fire because his, and this is a quote from on Twitter, his trans fans felt ambushed.
00:11:45.000 We're not talking about the Brussels Festival.
00:11:48.000 When Dave Chappelle went on stage as one of the opening acts, now he did a drop-in set.
00:11:53.000 Yes, he came in because he lives near Columbus, Ohio.
00:11:57.000 You know, Yellow Springs.
00:11:58.000 Right.
00:11:59.000 And popped in and gave them extra comedy.
00:12:01.000 Right.
00:12:01.000 And so people were mad about free comedy from one of the greatest comedians of all time because they claimed that, you know, he made jokes about trans people and they were like, if we'd have known it never would have come.
00:12:13.000 We came to see John Mulaney not to be assaulted.
00:12:16.000 So the claim from one audience...
00:12:18.000 Remember, was that the opening joke was grotesquely transphobic.
00:12:22.000 He made a joke about when he was attacked, how the guy had a knife that looks like a gun.
00:12:28.000 Or the other way around, he said that maybe it was the knife that identified as a gun.
00:12:33.000 Okay, so firstly, that's a perfect joke.
00:12:35.000 Yes.
00:12:39.000 I'm surprised that people are offended at that.
00:12:41.000 In other words, if you can't joke about a gun identifying as a knife or a knife identifying as a gun, you can never make jokes about the trans community at all.
00:12:49.000 Period.
00:12:49.000 That's as harmless of a joke as you can possibly get.
00:12:52.000 And by the way, he's joking about someone who tried to stab him.
00:12:56.000 Correct.
00:12:57.000 Tried to murder him with a knife.
00:12:59.000 But hang on now, it was a knife jammed into a plastic gun.
00:13:02.000 We don't know how the knife or gun did identify.
00:13:06.000 That's true.
00:13:06.000 I smell intolerance.
00:13:08.000 All hail Rudy!
00:13:09.000 Well, you're right.
00:13:10.000 Rudy!
00:13:11.000 Except the Rudy thing.
00:13:12.000 Rudy!
00:13:13.000 Not Rudy.
00:13:14.000 What's that?
00:13:15.000 Oh, hold on a second.
00:13:15.000 I guess you're telling me the gun slash knife released a statement.
00:13:20.000 Yes.
00:13:21.000 Okay, well I'll read it.
00:13:22.000 It says, I shouldn't have taken part in the attempted murder of Dave Chappelle.
00:13:27.000 Praise Allah, LA County didn't press charges.
00:13:30.000 The worst crime here is being misgendered.
00:13:33.000 I was born a knife, but my whole life struggled and felt like a gun.
00:13:36.000 That's why I was wearing the skin of a firearm.
00:13:38.000 Calling me a knife or gun slash knife is weapons phobic.
00:13:41.000 I identify as a gun.
00:13:42.000 That is who I am.
00:13:45.000 Wow, dude!
00:13:46.000 Boy, do you have egg on your face.
00:13:48.000 I think apology is in order.
00:13:50.000 I would think so, Dave.
00:13:51.000 Okay.
00:13:53.000 Alright.
00:13:54.000 I'm sorry.
00:13:54.000 I didn't mean to hurt any feelings.
00:13:57.000 That person clearly meant to stab Dave Chappelle with a gun.
00:14:03.000 Better.
00:14:03.000 Much better.
00:14:04.000 Yeah.
00:14:05.000 That makes sense.
00:14:06.000 The people at John Mulaney paid for comedy and they were upset that they got comedy.
00:14:08.000 That's the story, folks.
00:14:09.000 I get that.
00:14:10.000 I once ordered a burger and got a burger.
00:14:12.000 It was dehumanizing and that is when I began cutting myself.
00:14:16.000 Yeah, you know, I don't talk about it a whole lot, but a tragic thing happened when I ordered a pizza one time and they brought me pizza.
00:14:24.000 Yeah.
00:14:24.000 Did you start by paper cuts on your inner thighs?
00:14:28.000 Uh, it was more, it was forearms.
00:14:29.000 Oh, yeah.
00:14:30.000 And it's just so I can feel something.
00:14:31.000 I understand.
00:14:32.000 I also started cutting the pizza, um, because I didn't do a good job with the slicer.
00:14:35.000 That's true.
00:14:36.000 And I don't know if it was a slicer, it could have been a gun shaped like a slicer.
00:14:38.000 Yeah, you don't know.
00:14:42.000 I hate all of you right now.
00:14:43.000 But the only thing I would like to do is cut to the chase.
00:14:46.000 Admonish him.
00:14:47.000 He's not having fun.
00:14:47.000 Come on!
00:14:48.000 Alright, admonish him.
00:14:49.000 Did you say cut to the chase?
00:14:50.000 I said we kill him.
00:14:51.000 Admonish!
00:14:53.000 Look, look, here's one thing, too.
00:14:54.000 This is circulating.
00:14:55.000 I want to be clear about this.
00:14:56.000 We'll probably bring it back on Mug Club.
00:14:58.000 There's a circulating clip of George Carlin, where people are saying, if you want to know what George Carlin would say, and it's him talking about Andrew Dice Clay, saying, you know, I feel like he's targeting the marginalized, immigrants, women, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:15:09.000 Okay, far be it from me to defend Andrew Dice Clay.
00:15:11.000 Here's the thing.
00:15:12.000 I get that the idea here with comedy is you are supposed to attack those in positions of authority.
00:15:18.000 You don't want to punch down.
00:15:19.000 I think that all targets are within the limits, except for the helpless.
00:15:25.000 So for example, someone who is literally mentally disabled, specifically, or unable to defend themselves, it just doesn't necessarily go over well, but I'm not going to complain if somebody does it.
00:15:33.000 So everything is fair game except for the helpless.
00:15:35.000 But if you want to talk about punching up, Look, look, are we actually going to act as though the LGBTQAAIP plus bully pulpit is not in a position of wielding disproportionate power?
00:15:49.000 You want to know how we know that they are?
00:15:52.000 Look at any other stand-up special or any Netflix show that exists, and it constantly bitches about patriarchy and the white male.
00:15:58.000 And the very fact that That Dave Chappelle made a joke about a knife identifying as a gun and it becoming a controversy tells you that this isn't punching down.
00:16:08.000 Well, yeah, about him almost being murdered.
00:16:10.000 And what people fail to see is at the time, Dice was punching down to the marginalized.
00:16:15.000 That's true.
00:16:17.000 Nowadays, that's punching up.
00:16:19.000 Right.
00:16:20.000 This is the only time where the people that have the most power claim to be victims.
00:16:24.000 Right.
00:16:24.000 This is the only time it seems in history.
00:16:26.000 Well, and of that alphabet soup that you just listed, the T's are definitely in charge.
00:16:30.000 Yes.
00:16:30.000 Right?
00:16:31.000 There's almost no other group right now being talked about.
00:16:33.000 Even the gay pride parades and festivals are headed by T's most of the time.
00:16:38.000 Right.
00:16:38.000 So it's like, nary a G to be found.
00:16:40.000 Well, also, if you're going to go in order of, you know, percentage, it should be G-L-B-T.
00:16:46.000 But of course, it's always ladies first, and so they get right up there and are like, No, we munch carpets!
00:16:50.000 Like, fine.
00:16:50.000 LGBT.
00:16:51.000 Good.
00:16:52.000 I think we just drop the B. I mean, it seems redundant.
00:16:54.000 I think we just drop all the L's off at the Lesbos Island.
00:16:57.000 There's an island named after this.
00:16:59.000 Or Bass Pro.
00:17:00.000 You know, they have a steakhouse in there or something.
00:17:03.000 What about LL?
00:17:04.000 Lipstick.
00:17:05.000 Oh, I thought we were talking about the Cool J. Deep Blue Sea.
00:17:08.000 LL Cool J. You ate my bird.
00:17:12.000 Speaking of which, let's move on to monkey pox.
00:17:12.000 I don't know what's happening.
00:17:15.000 And I do have a question for you.
00:17:17.000 How much do you know about monkey pox?
00:17:19.000 Obviously right now it's sort of circulating in the media, and I know that a lot of people are feeling as though it could be a repeat of the COVID.
00:17:27.000 Right? Where people are saying, oh no, they're starting to stir up some kind of concern here
00:17:30.000 as we go into an election because it doesn't seem like the riots really worked. They didn't
00:17:34.000 last very long. Right. This is, you really notice a pattern of sowing division. This is what happens
00:17:39.000 from the left as they go into an election. Whereas what happens is they blame the right
00:17:42.000 of sowing division after an election. After they've sown division.
00:17:47.000 Right, exactly.
00:17:48.000 That's usually what happens.
00:17:49.000 So, um, you know, you think about it.
00:17:51.000 It was like Black Lives Matter.
00:17:52.000 Riot.
00:17:52.000 Burned down cities.
00:17:53.000 They shouldn't stop rioting, as Kamala Harris said.
00:17:55.000 And then you see the terrorists on the right who were saying, wait, hold on a second, you can't go against the state constitution and just allow mass unrequested mail-in ballots.
00:18:03.000 I don't know which one.
00:18:04.000 I think we can see who the bad guys are here.
00:18:06.000 Violence.
00:18:07.000 Oh, it's not the guys burning down Walgreens and shooting cops.
00:18:10.000 My mistake.
00:18:11.000 No, no, that's different.
00:18:12.000 I'm so, I just, I get so confused.
00:18:14.000 They don't identify as violent.
00:18:15.000 No, they don't.
00:18:15.000 Right.
00:18:18.000 They don't identify as the pricks.
00:18:19.000 They identify as peaceful.
00:18:20.000 And so do, so does the media.
00:18:22.000 Yeah.
00:18:23.000 And their fires identify as cold.
00:18:25.000 Yes.
00:18:27.000 A cold front, if you will.
00:18:28.000 Yes, exactly.
00:18:29.000 Yes, it happens inside of shops.
00:18:30.000 It's like Heatmiser putting on Jack Frost makeup.
00:18:33.000 I am a mostly peaceful fire, Steven.
00:18:35.000 He's Mr. Heatmiser.
00:18:37.000 Okay, monkey pox.
00:18:38.000 Yes.
00:18:39.000 Monkeypox!
00:18:41.000 All right.
00:18:41.000 First, let me tell you, you probably don't need to worry based on what we know about monkeypox historically.
00:18:47.000 But there could be some information they're not telling you, so I want to get to everything.
00:18:53.000 This is going to be a little bit nerdy here.
00:18:54.000 So first, monkeypox is here.
00:18:57.000 We rolled out the rainbow carpet and Joe Biden said that everybody should be concerned about it.
00:19:05.000 Everybody should be concerned about.
00:19:07.000 What level of concern should be about monkeypox in the cases that are in the United States and around the world?
00:19:12.000 Well, they haven't told me the level of exposure yet, but it is something that everybody should be concerned about.
00:19:18.000 Everybody should be concerned about.
00:19:20.000 We'll figure out what we do and what vaccine, if any, may be available for it.
00:19:25.000 But it is a concern in the sense that if it weren't spread, it's consequential.
00:19:30.000 Okay. Remember when Bill Murray and Scrooge has his boss come back and the mouse crawls out of the back of his head?
00:19:37.000 That is seriously that right there.
00:19:39.000 I don't mind if you shoot me, but go easy on the Bacardi.
00:19:44.000 The hair's the same.
00:19:45.000 I know.
00:19:46.000 It is.
00:19:47.000 Exactly.
00:19:47.000 Someone bring that up from Scrooge.
00:19:49.000 We'll have it on Mocha, where the rat crawls out with the golf ball.
00:19:51.000 Okay, so he says everybody should be concerned about it.
00:19:53.000 As of May 21st, 92 cases have been confirmed.
00:19:57.000 28 suspected cases got globally under investigation.
00:19:59.000 In the U.S., it's like one to five cases.
00:20:01.000 Yeah, so not a whole lot yet.
00:20:03.000 No, the end days are upon us.
00:20:04.000 Not yet.
00:20:05.000 Just in time for June 1st.
00:20:06.000 Look behind you.
00:20:07.000 There's the horseman.
00:20:08.000 Yes.
00:20:08.000 There's the monkey-pocked gay horseman.
00:20:12.000 Now, let me be clear about this, and it's not, and if you have kids they shouldn't watch this segment.
00:20:17.000 So if you comment below too, I would really, did you know about the gay thing with monkeypox?
00:20:21.000 Because it took me a long while, I was like, wasn't the monkeypox the gay thing?
00:20:24.000 I looked all around on YouTube, I was like, I can't find the gay thing!
00:20:27.000 And then I realized, okay, there's the gay thing.
00:20:29.000 So the current outbreak, it's spreading in a new way from how monkeypox has before.
00:20:36.000 The gay community, I want to be careful, just the G, seems to be at an elevated risk.
00:20:42.000 So the UK Health Security Agency epidemiologist Matteo Prozacca said, the high proportion of cases in the current outbreak in England that are gay or bisexual is highly suggestive of spread in sexual networks.
00:20:59.000 Sexual networks?
00:21:00.000 Yeah, I would say so.
00:21:02.000 If it's 60% are gay when they make up a certain percentage of the population.
00:21:06.000 If it's G.E.T.
00:21:07.000 television?
00:21:07.000 Yes.
00:21:10.000 You guys have networks?
00:21:10.000 It's just pornography.
00:21:11.000 Oh, right.
00:21:12.000 What do you think?
00:21:13.000 You ever look at gay- There are no gay boating magazines.
00:21:16.000 No gay camping magazines.
00:21:17.000 It's not like gay paintball.
00:21:19.000 It's just, oh, you're looking for the gay magazines.
00:21:20.000 You, me, we'll go through those swinging doors, sir.
00:21:25.000 Guy with wedding ring?
00:21:26.000 Yes.
00:21:27.000 You're a cowboy.
00:21:28.000 Go through.
00:21:29.000 Enter.
00:21:29.000 With pictures of his kids in his wallet.
00:21:31.000 Queer fancy.
00:21:33.000 That's not a thing.
00:21:33.000 Guy who looks nervous.
00:21:36.000 Wearing a mask still.
00:21:37.000 Gay week.
00:21:39.000 All right.
00:21:41.000 National homo review.
00:21:42.000 My point is, it's not just like the gay thing.
00:21:44.000 It's a hyper-sexualized culture.
00:21:47.000 It's okay, because it's largely men, and men like having sex with things.
00:21:50.000 Now, Dr. Susan Hopkins, the chief medical advisor, also for the same UKHSA, I'm just going to use that to abbreviate it, it's too long, wrote, the evidence suggests that there may be transmission of the monkeypox virus in the community spread by close contact.
00:22:07.000 Close contact could be anybody.
00:22:08.000 Is that the six feet like COVID?
00:22:10.000 Yeah.
00:22:11.000 That's how you avoid monkey pox, with a yardstick.
00:22:14.000 Like a junior high dance.
00:22:17.000 Well, unless you have a yardstick in your pants, then you're gonna touch monkey pox.
00:22:21.000 Their yardsticks are not in their pants.
00:22:22.000 So this is where the festival comes in, as far as how monkey pox has begun spreading now.
00:22:28.000 It's existed historically.
00:22:31.000 But why now?
00:22:32.000 That's the question you should be asking.
00:22:33.000 Why now?
00:22:34.000 Well, many outlets have been sort of quietly reporting on these outbreaks saying that it came from a fest- like a festival.
00:22:41.000 Maybe, and the farthest they go is like a fetish festival.
00:22:44.000 Yeah.
00:22:45.000 Here's the thing.
00:22:45.000 It's, uh, the Darklands Festival in, uh, what's the name of the place right outside of, uh, Brussels?
00:22:50.000 The name, uh, uh, I forgot the name of the city.
00:22:52.000 It's right outside.
00:22:53.000 It's near Brussels.
00:22:53.000 Antwerp.
00:22:55.000 Antwerp.
00:22:56.000 Uh, Darklands Festival.
00:22:57.000 Darklands.
00:22:58.000 That's fitting.
00:22:59.000 And this is what it looks like.
00:23:02.000 The Dark Holes Festival.
00:23:04.000 Well, hold on a second.
00:23:04.000 Do you have the pictures from the festival there, Kevin?
00:23:06.000 Bring up the pictures.
00:23:07.000 By the way, Tokunawa just got married, so he's on a honeymoon, so we have Kevin here.
00:23:10.000 Do you have the pictures from the festival?
00:23:11.000 He's visiting the wetlands.
00:23:13.000 I don't think they have those.
00:23:14.000 Thank you.
00:23:15.000 Alright, guys, get us the pictures from the Dark Holes Festival, because that really drives it home.
00:23:20.000 No, they allow cameras.
00:23:21.000 Do they really?
00:23:21.000 They're looking at the cameras as they spread monkey pox.
00:23:24.000 Are you serious?
00:23:24.000 Yeah.
00:23:25.000 I'm glad you said spread and monkey pox.
00:23:27.000 I raw-dogged nine Somali pirates at this festival, and all I got was this stupid pox.
00:23:34.000 So here's a description of the festival.
00:23:36.000 Camp Canine at Darklands is dedicated to pups and their handlers with a giant ball pit, mosh area, and plenty of puppy play equipment on hand.
00:23:44.000 Just to be clear, there are no actual dogs.
00:23:47.000 Wow.
00:23:47.000 I just want to be clear.
00:23:48.000 When they're like, it might have spread at this festival.
00:23:51.000 Yeah, where they have ball pits and puppy play.
00:23:54.000 Yes, without dogs.
00:23:54.000 Without dogs.
00:23:55.000 Is this like the congressman on a leash?
00:23:57.000 It's weird sex stuff, Gerald.
00:23:59.000 It's weird sex stuff.
00:24:00.000 This entire segment is uncomfortable because I don't know what's going to get us removed.
00:24:03.000 It's weird sex stuff at a gay festival!
00:24:05.000 Please be sure to pick up after your idiot.
00:24:09.000 Yes.
00:24:10.000 Oh my gosh, no.
00:24:12.000 That requires a cleanup crew and a hazmat suit.
00:24:14.000 It says choose whether you'll join as a blindfolded mayor Bottom, or Hungry Stallion?
00:24:20.000 Top, in parentheses.
00:24:23.000 A team of Stablemasters will take care of the safety of the Mayors.
00:24:26.000 Well, seems someone didn't do their job!
00:24:30.000 That's called horseplay, by the way.
00:24:34.000 That's what they called it, not me.
00:24:37.000 What'd you do this weekend, Somali pirate son?
00:24:39.000 I was just horsing around.
00:24:43.000 Just playing.
00:24:44.000 I had a crop.
00:24:46.000 Riding crop.
00:24:47.000 With Don Lemon.
00:24:51.000 So the media says it's a festival.
00:24:53.000 It's a festival.
00:24:54.000 Guys, get us those pictures right now.
00:24:57.000 Right now, guys!
00:24:58.000 Whale fun!
00:25:00.000 Is that really a festival?
00:25:01.000 It's not really a festival.
00:25:02.000 It's just an orgy.
00:25:03.000 It's just a ball pit of gay men horses.
00:25:07.000 Yeah, gay men horses.
00:25:08.000 And dogs.
00:25:08.000 And also the irony, they're like, I'm a mare.
00:25:10.000 No, you're not.
00:25:11.000 You're not a mare.
00:25:11.000 You're not a mare.
00:25:12.000 It's only stallions.
00:25:13.000 That's the problem.
00:25:14.000 He's just playing one.
00:25:16.000 And he's using the term stallions is very generous.
00:25:18.000 So there's a 7 to 14 day incubation picture.
00:25:21.000 Okay, so let's bring up the pictures that always... Yeah, there you go.
00:25:25.000 Oh!
00:25:25.000 Well, I'm still confused.
00:25:27.000 That's just a music festival, right?
00:25:29.000 Yeah.
00:25:29.000 It's just like, who's... You went to Van's Warped Tour?
00:25:33.000 A couple I did and, you know, I always remember the leather chokers.
00:25:36.000 I went to, of course, when I went to Bonnaroo and saw bands like Ween and, you know, Prime.
00:25:41.000 In raw-dogging Nigerian princes.
00:25:43.000 Of course, I wore only a leather cup.
00:25:46.000 Yes!
00:25:47.000 It's not even really a cup, it's more of a saucer with a hole in it.
00:25:50.000 Yes, yeah, there's no cup to actually protect from anything.
00:25:53.000 So look, here's the thing, they are tripping over themselves in the media right now to say, well it looks like it's spreading in the gay community, but without it, without saying it's spreading in the gay community, it's because it's very important, even though statistically, this is something that could be very easily solved as far as the spread right now.
00:26:08.000 Okay?
00:26:09.000 Because it's not just spread, it's not like the AIDS thing, it's not like, you know, or it's primarily spread through homosexual activity, which we know now.
00:26:17.000 It's that right now it happened to be spread at an event where people were having a bunch of gay sex.
00:26:23.000 So it could make its way out of that sort of incubated petri dish.
00:26:29.000 We can address that pretty quickly.
00:26:30.000 We'll talk about it.
00:26:30.000 It's called ring vaccination, where basically you can just vaccinate, as opposed to, you know, quarantining healthy people.
00:26:37.000 Quarantining the sick people, vaccinating the sick people, which you can do with the smallpox vaccine.
00:26:40.000 We'll get to that.
00:26:40.000 However, we have to balance that, the science, without making people feel bad.
00:26:47.000 Just listen to Sky News.
00:26:48.000 One unusual aspect of this is that a high proportion of the cases are gay or bisexual men.
00:26:55.000 Also known as gay.
00:26:56.000 And it's important to say that this is not a disease that's likely to be spread by sex, and it's likely to have nothing to do with sexuality.
00:27:06.000 Oh, that's good.
00:27:06.000 But health authorities are trying to raise awareness in men that they need to be aware of the symptoms
00:27:13.000 because it may be spreading within a sexual network. Men who are having sex with other men
00:27:20.000 who may be at risk simply because of direct and intimate skin-to-skin contact.
00:27:27.000 Need you to elaborate.
00:27:28.000 He just jumps on a man-horse.
00:27:30.000 trying to raise awareness. But that has to be balanced, of course, against any potential stigma.
00:27:36.000 This could affect anybody, but at the moment they are very concerned about spreading within the gay and bisexual
00:27:43.000 community in particular.
00:27:46.000 It has to be balanced with the stigma of accurate science.
00:27:50.000 Do tell, why is it that the gay sexual contact seems to spread it more?
00:27:58.000 It's not so much... It's not so... Listen.
00:28:02.000 Careful with the stigma.
00:28:03.000 It's not so much the gay sex as it is the volume of sexual activity with gay men.
00:28:10.000 Having sex with lots of men.
00:28:12.000 Think of it this way.
00:28:12.000 Look, remove all moral barriers, right?
00:28:15.000 You're a straight man.
00:28:17.000 I want you to think about this for a second.
00:28:19.000 Think of every attractive woman who you thought, if you weren't married, if you weren't faithful.
00:28:23.000 Remove all moral barriers, okay?
00:28:25.000 For a moment, Richard.
00:28:26.000 Every attractive woman that you've ever wanted to have sex with, right?
00:28:30.000 Now, For a gay man, that's every other man.
00:28:36.000 And with attractive straight women, right, you want to have sex with her, but she's saying no, no, no, no, maybe.
00:28:43.000 For gay men, it's yes, yes, yes, all at the same time.
00:28:49.000 That's why it spreads so fast!
00:28:51.000 It's not pay-it-forward.
00:28:53.000 According to this chart here... With no condom.
00:28:56.000 It's doo-doo and bleedin'.
00:28:57.000 That's the way it primarily spreads.
00:29:00.000 Now, Belgium has recorded its fourth case of monkeypox.
00:29:04.000 All four cases have been linked to the Darklands Festival.
00:29:07.000 Yeah, by the way, the political article that was covering specifically that was saying, uh, this, this festival gathering in May.
00:29:14.000 They didn't even say fetish festival or anything.
00:29:16.000 We don't want to stigmatize it!
00:29:18.000 Right, like back when Oprah said, based on Fauci's intel, that one in five heterosexual couples would, uh, would be affected by AIDS.
00:29:24.000 Heterosexuals would die of AIDS!
00:29:25.000 Oh man, I was soft-pedaling it!
00:29:27.000 You were!
00:29:27.000 Both of them were in there!
00:29:28.000 Oprah said they were gonna... You go die!
00:29:32.000 Basically.
00:29:33.000 She said one in five are gonna die?
00:29:35.000 Yeah, that's the quote that we found.
00:29:36.000 Wow.
00:29:37.000 But look under your seat, you all have PREV PILLS!
00:29:41.000 Open season!
00:29:43.000 Which, by the way, I have to tell you, looking up this monkey pox stuff, I went down a really dark rabbit hole on the internet of all these gay blogs talking about monkey pox.
00:29:50.000 So when they were talking about it and saying, like, with the PREV pill, it's been sex in New York City for a gay man, like, 1979, before the AIDS epidemic.
00:29:57.000 But now I have to be worried about intestinal parasites and monkey pox, and we're just going, ugh.
00:30:03.000 Yeah, me too.
00:30:03.000 I think I have carpal tunnel now.
00:30:05.000 Yes!
00:30:06.000 Canter X.
00:30:07.000 And a screen that's not as clear as it once was.
00:30:13.000 My laptop's broken.
00:30:15.000 Portugal has recorded at least 21 confirmed cases, okay?
00:30:19.000 And some of those link Portugal to Belgium's Darklands Festival.
00:30:24.000 All right, Spain also has 21 confirmed cases.
00:30:28.000 Most of them linked to a gay sauna.
00:30:31.000 And I guess Fauci has a new job.
00:30:32.000 Also known as a sauna.
00:30:33.000 Yeah.
00:30:35.000 But Fauci has a new part-time job, I guess.
00:30:37.000 Is that...?
00:30:37.000 Yeah.
00:30:38.000 Then?
00:30:39.000 Did we get that?
00:30:39.000 No.
00:30:40.000 Oh, there we go.
00:30:41.000 69, geez!
00:30:42.000 Again, we're short-staffed today.
00:30:45.000 I'm doing research.
00:30:48.000 Again, in gay saunas.
00:30:50.000 Really?
00:30:51.000 Oh, there's a new gay bug?
00:30:52.000 I'm gonna hurry up and not cure it.
00:30:54.000 Oh, yeah.
00:30:55.000 Oh, yay, all the cover I need.
00:30:57.000 Oh, goody.
00:30:59.000 Oh boy, you guys are gonna be a bunch of white flags 20 years from now!
00:31:06.000 You're sitting there with this notepad, like, what are you doing?
00:31:07.000 I like to watch!
00:31:09.000 Yeah.
00:31:10.000 I'm a voyeur of your dying.
00:31:11.000 Please, show me how you get it again.
00:31:13.000 I didn't see it the first time.
00:31:14.000 Yes, I didn't see it the first time.
00:31:15.000 Just ignore me in the corner.
00:31:17.000 Oh, I've just turned into a towel rack.
00:31:19.000 Wait, wait, wait.
00:31:19.000 Are you the mayor or the stallion?
00:31:22.000 I confused the two.
00:31:24.000 It's sort of like, you know, A, C, D, C, but they're both D, C. They're both A, C.
00:31:29.000 How?
00:31:30.000 I don't understand how this functions.
00:31:31.000 And it's like, well let us show you.
00:31:32.000 He's like, I'm very curious.
00:31:34.000 So, did you bring a cooler in here?
00:31:35.000 Yes, it's bad sandwiches.
00:31:37.000 Would you like one?
00:31:37.000 Yeah.
00:31:39.000 Tuna on rye.
00:31:41.000 Got smoked salmon and capers.
00:31:42.000 Oh boy.
00:31:46.000 So now we have other countries that are experiencing outbreaks.
00:31:47.000 Okay, the UK, 21 to 30 cases.
00:31:49.000 America, 1 to 5 cases.
00:31:51.000 Canada, 1 to 5.
00:31:52.000 11 to 20 suspected.
00:31:53.000 One came through Montreal, who allegedly also was at the Dark Lens Festival.
00:31:58.000 Here's the thing, it's not necessarily gay sex, unlike AIDS, HIV, which is almost entirely gay sex, or intravenous drug use.
00:32:06.000 It's that it seems to have spread where the gay behavior was prevalent.
00:32:10.000 One person was at this festival who came from one of those countries where they, and by one of those countries I mean crap hole countries, where this actually still exists and is rampant, and then probably had sex with like, I don't know, 40 guys at the festival, and that's how it spread.
00:32:22.000 Just taking a wild guess, I'm ballparking it.
00:32:25.000 Well it's a three-day festival, you do the math, I mean that's likely.
00:32:27.000 I think ball-parking was the problem.
00:32:29.000 Yes, exactly.
00:32:31.000 Ball-pupping is the term they use.
00:32:34.000 A five-day festival?
00:32:35.000 It's a five-day festival.
00:32:37.000 Gotta go up.
00:32:38.000 Oh, for crying out loud.
00:32:39.000 Why do you need five days of that?
00:32:42.000 Yeah, especially when you consider the refractory periods.
00:32:44.000 It's just bad.
00:32:46.000 And it's spreading everywhere.
00:32:47.000 Like a virus.
00:32:49.000 It's hard to tell somebody that something hurts when all you can do is bark.
00:32:55.000 We shouldn't have made our safe word woof, or nay.
00:33:01.000 So what is monkey pox, to give you some... All you think you can eat is carrots?
00:33:07.000 Nobody's eating them?
00:33:11.000 So what is monkey pox?
00:33:12.000 Well, okay, it's a zoonotic disease endemic to Western Central Africa.
00:33:18.000 The same family as smallpox.
00:33:19.000 Much less severe than smallpox, to be clear.
00:33:22.000 So people who are trying to scare you right now, the strain that we currently know about, it has a mortality rate of less than 1%.
00:33:28.000 But we all know how the left feels about things that are less than 1% likely to kill you!
00:33:35.000 I'm not going to say what it is.
00:33:36.000 Yeah, destroy your lives?
00:33:37.000 Yeah, lock down the entire planet, right?
00:33:40.000 Well, thankfully, the other one has a mortality rate up to about 10 percent, the other strain.
00:33:44.000 The monkey pox?
00:33:45.000 Yeah, the monkey pox.
00:33:47.000 I guess they call it clads or whatever it is.
00:33:48.000 Well, here's the thing.
00:33:50.000 We got lucky on this one.
00:33:51.000 You have the former Vice President Joe Biden saying one thing, and then the CDC saying, well, you really shouldn't be concerned.
00:33:57.000 It's tough to know who to believe.
00:34:00.000 Now, at one point they were saying, this looks like it spread from a gay festival, but then they're saying, but it's not necessarily spread through that method of contact, because what we could be dealing with, to be clear, is we could be dealing with a mutated form of this virus.
00:34:12.000 Now, that's why it's pretty hard to trust them, because if this is, perhaps, I don't know, like, in some hypothetical scenario, a weaponized mutation of the virus to make it more transmissible, To make it more deadly, then it's difficult to take anything that's being said right now at face value.
00:34:29.000 The truth is, monkeypox is not aerosol.
00:34:31.000 It's not like COVID in that same way.
00:34:33.000 That's why they were saying that you shouldn't be nearly as worried.
00:34:35.000 It's primarily transmitted from skin-to-skin contact, lesions, which again still begs the question, why is it still like, you know, skin lesions?
00:34:42.000 I mean, you know.
00:34:43.000 strange people too. It's the volume. It's the number. Yeah, but this is precisely the problem
00:34:50.000 that we have with not being able to trust our institutions because now they've lied to us.
00:34:54.000 We know that they were wrong. How about I just say it that way about certain things within COVID.
00:34:58.000 And so now... I thought you were going to say AIDS. No, no, well that too.
00:35:01.000 I'm gonna go something more recent.
00:35:02.000 Ebola.
00:35:03.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:35:04.000 So now we don't trust them, so if monkeypox was a true threat, you're screwed, because people are like, nah, you've been saying this guy is falling for too long now, and it's not.
00:35:12.000 Right.
00:35:13.000 And now that we know that it's probably not, they shouldn't be out here.
00:35:16.000 Well, it's also not new.
00:35:17.000 So there was a 2003 outbreak of monkeypox, 47 confirmed cases, or probable cases, according to the CDC.
00:35:22.000 This was in 2003, and it was the first time that monkeypox was reported outside of Africa.
00:35:26.000 But it was here, good for us.
00:35:28.000 We get a trophy for the first place.
00:35:29.000 Well, you know, we're importing.
00:35:32.000 Ah!
00:35:33.000 Yes.
00:35:33.000 Nice.
00:35:34.000 Because to appropriate is to appreciate.
00:35:37.000 Which, by the way, June is Cultural Appropriation Month.
00:35:39.000 I forgot.
00:35:39.000 I cannot wait.
00:35:40.000 Send in your favorite, you know, comment below.
00:35:42.000 Send in your favorite countries that you want to see this year.
00:35:44.000 I completely forgot about cultural appropriation.
00:35:46.000 It always just sneaks up on us.
00:35:46.000 Also known as Ban from YouTube Month.
00:35:47.000 Yes.
00:35:50.000 Now, this came from infected rodents from Ghana, and all of the confirmed cases back in 2003 were from contact with prairie dogs that were bought as pets.
00:35:57.000 Don't do that.
00:35:58.000 Who's buying prairie dogs as pets?
00:36:00.000 This is even before the show on Discovery.
00:36:01.000 Oh my god.
00:36:02.000 Richard Gere?
00:36:03.000 Yeah.
00:36:05.000 It's like, this germ is just not doing it anymore.
00:36:06.000 Go prairie dogging!
00:36:07.000 Give me that big one.
00:36:08.000 Took them, like, years to figure out.
00:36:10.000 Is it coming from the prairie dog or the empty toilet paper roll filled with dryer sheets?
00:36:13.000 We don't know.
00:36:14.000 Now, in 2021, there was one case in Texas, a man again returning from Nigeria.
00:36:20.000 In 2021, Maryland had one traveler also returning from Nigeria, but right now no one has died from it.
00:36:25.000 So, again, how does it spread?
00:36:27.000 Do we need vaccines?
00:36:28.000 Just so you guys understand, as opposed to fear porn, There's been a push again now that you're seeing from people who are uninformed to what?
00:36:34.000 To what?
00:36:35.000 To what?
00:36:36.000 To mask up!
00:36:37.000 Let me read you a quote from the New York City Health Department's CDC.
00:36:39.000 Masks can protect against monkeypox, as well as other viruses circulating in New York City, such as COVID-19.
00:36:45.000 Well, there you go.
00:36:46.000 I mean, come on, it's not so much about the monkeypox.
00:36:48.000 You're just, I mean, just hitching it.
00:36:50.000 Oh, if you put the mask on your lesion-riddled penis?
00:36:52.000 Yes.
00:36:55.000 Even then, it's too porous.
00:36:56.000 You're telling me.
00:36:59.000 Are you doing a puppet show?
00:37:04.000 Again, it's not aerosolized like COVID, even though they told us that it wasn't, and they said that it was, and they said it wasn't, and they said that it was.
00:37:10.000 Why don't you trust your institutions?
00:37:12.000 Bodily fluids, lesions, you know, touching the lesions, skin-on-skin contact, it's not nearly as contagious.
00:37:18.000 Now, here's something else.
00:37:19.000 People are talking about large-scale vaccinations.
00:37:20.000 You saw they just purchased in their stockpiling vaccinations a smallpox vaccine.
00:37:24.000 Here's the thing.
00:37:25.000 We don't need large-scale vaccinations.
00:37:27.000 It's a very, very silly idea.
00:37:28.000 I know we don't want to stigmatize people, but what you do with something like this is called ring vaccination.
00:37:34.000 That's the current standard of care.
00:37:36.000 Again, we're talking about science.
00:37:37.000 And what does ring vaccination mean?
00:37:39.000 What does that mean?
00:37:40.000 That means the close contacts of people who've been infected with monkeypox, right?
00:37:44.000 You vaccinate them and you cut off any routes of transmission.
00:37:46.000 Look, let's be honest.
00:37:47.000 What could have happened is this started in Belgium, this Puppy, mare, bear, stallion, weird gay sex orgy, okay, that took place for five days, quarantine all those people, all the people that could have possibly had sex with, case closed!
00:38:02.000 Done!
00:38:03.000 But we don't want to stigmatize!
00:38:07.000 We should definitely stigmatize.
00:38:11.000 Oh my gosh, this isn't a problem.
00:38:12.000 The problem is Joe Biden going out and saying everybody should be concerned about this.
00:38:16.000 Because people have, we're all still a little bit nervous from what just happened.
00:38:20.000 And it's not that we'll necessarily get sick and die, it's that our government is going to do something stupid and end the world again.
00:38:25.000 We just went through that.
00:38:27.000 Nobody wants to go back.
00:38:28.000 Of course he was concerned.
00:38:29.000 Hunter was at the festival.
00:38:33.000 To be fair, though, he wasn't taking, he was just dealing.
00:38:35.000 That's true.
00:38:35.000 Well, he lost five laptops at this festival, though, so lots of great information coming out soon.
00:38:40.000 And he also filled them up with all of the information while there.
00:38:43.000 Do you have, like, a frequent buyers program with laptops?
00:38:45.000 He's like, ah, I'm back for another one, geez.
00:38:47.000 I just keep dropping them everywhere.
00:38:49.000 Just uses his monkey pox platinum card.
00:38:51.000 Some stupid stallion stole it from me.
00:38:53.000 I get points!
00:38:54.000 I get points for every lesion.
00:38:55.000 So, look, according to... I think Bernard took it.
00:38:59.000 Courtney just kept saying woof, but he looked terrified.
00:39:01.000 It was the guy who kept following him.
00:39:04.000 So according to health officials... Little barrels under its neck.
00:39:08.000 You're like, this isn't water.
00:39:09.000 He just opened it up.
00:39:14.000 He says a letter for help.
00:39:15.000 He just opens just a picture of that St.
00:39:17.000 Bernard with that guy.
00:39:18.000 This didn't help me at all.
00:39:19.000 It's you.
00:39:20.000 Just a self-portrait.
00:39:21.000 Like a locket.
00:39:22.000 At least the music's terrible.
00:39:23.000 Yeah.
00:39:26.000 No better way to spread monkey pox than gay orgy in house.
00:39:32.000 Is that Moby dressed like a dachshund?
00:39:34.000 According to health officials, you can relax a little bit.
00:39:42.000 Some of them now.
00:39:43.000 So it goes against what Biden said.
00:39:44.000 Here you go.
00:39:45.000 There's no need to panic here.
00:39:47.000 This is not going to spread and get into the general population and cause an epidemic like coronavirus has.
00:39:57.000 Now, just to be clear, just because he looks like his immune system is falling out of the rest of his body does not mean that he is not an authoritative source.
00:40:04.000 So how do you avoid monkeypox?
00:40:05.000 It's pretty clear.
00:40:06.000 Just so, again, I want to help you.
00:40:08.000 Don't go to gay orgies.
00:40:10.000 You know, get bitten by rodents.
00:40:13.000 Or get a prairie dog as a pet.
00:40:17.000 That's it.
00:40:18.000 That's it.
00:40:18.000 You probably won't get monkeypox.
00:40:19.000 There you go.
00:40:20.000 Well, that's impossible.
00:40:21.000 Just, you know, stay away from your- I know.
00:40:23.000 That's always what I do.
00:40:24.000 Just tell me not to breathe.
00:40:25.000 Yes.
00:40:26.000 Tell a sparrow not to sing!
00:40:28.000 Tell an eagle not to be majestic.
00:40:32.000 Yes.
00:40:33.000 Good luck.
00:40:35.000 But would a monkey pox riddled golden doodle by any other name still be as riddled?
00:40:41.000 God.
00:40:43.000 I just am so disgusted.
00:40:44.000 Antwerp in May.
00:40:45.000 Stay away from Antwerp.
00:40:46.000 Is there going to be another flood soon enough?
00:40:48.000 Do we think?
00:40:49.000 I mean, I think it's fire and brimstone.
00:40:51.000 That's right.
00:40:51.000 We're due.
00:40:53.000 He sort of staggers them, don't you?
00:40:57.000 Does a man wearing a dog collar not bleed the same as you?
00:41:00.000 I mean, imagine them writing about that in the Old Testament.
00:41:02.000 From different places, sure.
00:41:04.000 It's like, Lord, what if I find ten good men?
00:41:06.000 Uh, you're gonna need a little bit more than that, considering that they're wearing chokers and having sex to Enya for five days.
00:41:15.000 Gonna need a little more than 10 good men.
00:41:17.000 You know what?
00:41:17.000 I'm just gonna turn the whole city into salt.
00:41:19.000 It's gonna look like Superman's dad's bachelor pad.
00:41:21.000 How about that?
00:41:24.000 This guy's wearing horseshoes and a light-up unicorn hat.
00:41:27.000 Yeah.
00:41:28.000 Lord, this doesn't seem that bad right now, trust me.
00:41:31.000 In a couple thousand years, you'll understand.
00:41:33.000 Right?
00:41:34.000 You know what I hate?
00:41:35.000 Sticky shoes.
00:41:36.000 Yeah.
00:41:37.000 I really do.
00:41:38.000 Your shoes would be ruined after an event like that.
00:41:40.000 Yeah, it'd be like walking through a dollar cineplex.
00:41:42.000 Yeah, you'd be like, this is the worst.
00:41:44.000 They step in gum?
00:41:45.000 Kinda.
00:41:47.000 Sort of.
00:41:49.000 What is it?
00:41:49.000 What did they just... Did they just coat the floor in jujy fruit?
00:41:51.000 This is just the worst.
00:41:53.000 I just bought these.
00:41:59.000 Hey, hold on a second.
00:42:00.000 Before I move on to Taiwan, right now you have Joe Biden.
00:42:03.000 They were just talking about Taiwan on CNN.
00:42:05.000 But right now he's saying a recession in the U.S.
00:42:07.000 is not inevitable.
00:42:08.000 Sorry, he mispronounced, is happening.
00:42:10.000 But let's hear him.
00:42:12.000 He means middle of it.
00:42:16.000 Well, let's hear what they have to say about the recession.
00:42:18.000 It's not bad.
00:42:18.000 So guys, don't lose hope.
00:42:19.000 It's just elevated, but the economy's not bad.
00:42:21.000 right now it's growing, unemployment is low, but the risk of recession is elevated and as the
00:42:27.000 Federal Reserve moves more aggressively to try to alleviate that. So guys, don't lose hope. It's just elevated but the
00:42:32.000 economy is not bad.
00:42:33.000 Trust your institutions.
00:42:36.000 the US economy into.
00:42:37.000 I'll have good news for you.
00:42:38.000 I thought that was pre-Crack Aaron Sorkin.
00:42:40.000 I'll have good news for you.
00:42:42.000 I thought that was pre-Crack Aaron Sorkin.
00:42:47.000 That's just him on Adderall and a typewriter high-fiving him.
00:43:02.000 He hasn't blinked.
00:43:03.000 Oh, hold on a second.
00:43:04.000 Thank God.
00:43:04.000 The Fed has decided they're going to do something about it.
00:43:06.000 Don't forget to wet eyelids.
00:43:09.000 By the way, and I know we're not covering the economy right now because it's so terrible, but they're basically spinning all weekend long.
00:43:15.000 Every show that I watched was, well, unemployment is low and, you know, the job numbers are looking better.
00:43:20.000 We're adding a lot, a lot of jobs and the economy is not so bad.
00:43:23.000 It's growing.
00:43:23.000 And I'm like...
00:43:25.000 Yeah, we haven't added one job since our peak in 2019, just to be clear.
00:43:28.000 There's more part-time jobs, the wages aren't very good for these jobs, and they're worth even less because of inflation, and you have far fewer people in the labor force participation market.
00:43:37.000 So this is how they lie about those numbers.
00:43:39.000 And we've gone through this several times, but this is what happens.
00:43:43.000 They blame us for sowing distrust, right?
00:43:45.000 They blame you for sowing distrust when you say, hold on a second, I feel like, I don't know, I got a ballot to my old house that I didn't request and anyone could do anything they want with that.
00:43:55.000 They say, wait a second, don't sow distrust in your institutions.
00:43:57.000 When they say, hey, the economy is fine, you say, I don't feel like it's fine.
00:44:02.000 Don't sow distrust.
00:44:02.000 You know what sows distrust?
00:44:04.000 Them saying, you know, we probably won't have a recession.
00:44:08.000 The economy is doing relatively well, and you are driving past, if you're in California, $6-$7 gas.
00:44:15.000 Right here in Texas, close to $5 gas.
00:44:17.000 If you're paying twice as much for your food, if you know friends who are unemployed, you know that people are having to tighten their belt buckles right now because they can't afford anything, you know what you're living through.
00:44:29.000 Skyrocketing costs, inflation, you're looking at your 401k, you're looking at your retirement savings.
00:44:34.000 It's worse than it's been in the last 10 years.
00:44:37.000 And they're saying, so don't worry, the economy's actually doing well.
00:44:40.000 They're so unaccountable, they don't even understand that it would just be better if they said, things aren't great, but here's how we think they can improve.
00:44:50.000 But they're so confident that no one will call them on their lies, they say the economy's actually doing pretty well.
00:44:56.000 That's what they just said!
00:44:58.000 That's basically what I heard all weekend.
00:44:59.000 They're like, oh, we added 500,000 jobs.
00:45:01.000 And I'm like, yeah, and people have to work two of them so that they can make ends meet.
00:45:04.000 Thank you.
00:45:04.000 And by the way, this is also another myth that you see people out there touting.
00:45:08.000 They go, oh, and if you look at the price of gas, the president doesn't really control it.
00:45:14.000 It's a global problem.
00:45:15.000 Hold on.
00:45:15.000 A couple of things.
00:45:16.000 First off, if you look at some of the economic indexes, the United States is doing worse than many other countries.
00:45:20.000 Not all, but it's doing worse than a lot of other countries.
00:45:23.000 Second, do you understand that being the world's only global superpower in 2022 is if we create the problem, it will affect the rest of the world?
00:45:32.000 It's not a problem that originated in Sweden.
00:45:34.000 In other words, of course, if we decide that we're going to create total upheaval with Russia and the Ukraine and send $40 billion here and make sure that some of these... Right now we're looking at a wheat, by the way, a wheat supply chain issue, just so you know.
00:45:49.000 The United States should not be affected by that.
00:45:51.000 But we will, because we'll export our wheat, even though we don't need to.
00:45:54.000 This is what happens.
00:45:56.000 The United States creates the problem.
00:45:57.000 So just because it's happening elsewhere in the world does not mean that the most powerful man in the free world and the most powerful country who sets international policy for the free world is not responsible for it.
00:46:08.000 You can't have it both ways and say, well, Donald Trump is not the reason that we had record low gas.
00:46:12.000 Look, record low gas when adjusted for inflation versus record high.
00:46:15.000 Record low unemployment and record high wage growth Period.
00:46:21.000 When you look at average individual earnings versus the worst.
00:46:24.000 And here's the thing.
00:46:25.000 We had 8 years of this.
00:46:27.000 This is a really hard job for the media.
00:46:29.000 We had 8 years of this with Barack Obama.
00:46:31.000 Now we have the former Vice President.
00:46:33.000 So we had 8-3.
00:46:34.000 I don't count that last year because of COVID.
00:46:36.000 We had 8-3.
00:46:37.000 We're going to have another 4.
00:46:38.000 We will never Probably in another generation or two have this kind of a clear contrast.
00:46:45.000 And despite all the wokeness, despite what all the Democrats want to tell you, and they go out and protest Dave Chappelle, a lot of people, when they go into that voting booth, they say, you know what, my life is definitely worse off, and they pull that lever.
00:46:55.000 And what's going to happen?
00:46:56.000 The media is going to blame us, the media is going to blame you for sowing distrust, and never take accountability themselves.
00:47:03.000 They're like the Amber Heard of the public sphere.
00:47:06.000 Or the media and Joe Biden's gonna gin up the monkey pox fear and say, well, we should probably just send out ballots to everybody so that they don't have gay sex in line and get monkey pox while they're waiting to vote.
00:47:16.000 Always happens.
00:47:18.000 It's unavoidable, really.
00:47:20.000 Abstinence only is not, you know, have a prevention strategy is more sensible.
00:47:26.000 I voted in a restroom on the freeway.
00:47:29.000 Saunas have voting booths too, right?
00:47:32.000 They do.
00:47:33.000 Not digital voting booths, I mean that just becomes an incredible electrical hazard.
00:47:36.000 Just go pick a hole.
00:47:39.000 It's a hole punch, but there's a giant hole in the face.
00:47:42.000 So now speaking of more economic upheaval and turmoil, look, I've been very clear about
00:47:48.000 this and we're going to go to Mug Club later and Gerald and Ginger Snap are going to have
00:47:52.000 a healthy debate.
00:47:53.000 Yeah.
00:47:54.000 I've said that we shouldn't be involved in Ukraine because we do need to, you know, save
00:47:58.000 our, keep our powder dry for Taiwan.
00:48:00.000 I do think that Taiwan is an important stronghold and if you look at what China wants to do
00:48:04.000 with Taiwan and how that would disrupt the global supply chain, I mean, China going after
00:48:08.000 Taiwan would probably be the actual catalyst for what would be closest to what we recognize
00:48:16.000 Yeah.
00:48:17.000 And so I think it's pretty important.
00:48:19.000 Now, that being said, considering the importance of it, it would seem that a unified, consistent message that is simply decipherable to human beings would be important.
00:48:32.000 So former Vice President Joe Biden, speaking in Tokyo next to the Prime Minister of Japan, Fumio Kishida, he addressed the question of how the U.S.
00:48:41.000 would respond if China invaded Taiwan.
00:48:43.000 He's the first president to say this, but part of what he says contradicts the second part of what he says.
00:48:49.000 You didn't want to get involved in the Ukraine conflict militarily for obvious reasons.
00:48:55.000 Are you willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if it comes to that?
00:48:59.000 Yes.
00:49:00.000 You are?
00:49:02.000 First President to say that.
00:49:03.000 That's a commitment we made.
00:49:04.000 That's incorrect.
00:49:06.000 That's a commitment we made.
00:49:07.000 We are not, look, here's the situation.
00:49:10.000 We agree with a one China policy.
00:49:12.000 What?
00:49:13.000 Then you can't defend Taiwan.
00:49:14.000 All the attendant agreements made from there.
00:49:17.000 But the idea that it can be taken by force, just taken by force, is just not appropriate.
00:49:25.000 It will dislocate the entire region.
00:49:28.000 That is a big earpiece.
00:49:38.000 What is he wearing?
00:49:39.000 Beats by Dre?
00:49:40.000 He signed a new sponsorship deal with them.
00:49:43.000 So a couple of things.
00:49:44.000 This statement breaks with decades of the United States policy right on Taiwan.
00:49:49.000 That being said, he said, yes, we would intervene militarily.
00:49:51.000 Okay.
00:49:52.000 So that's this statement.
00:49:53.000 Then he says, we recognize China's one China policy.
00:49:57.000 Ah.
00:49:58.000 Those two are the opposite.
00:49:59.000 It might be foreign to you, it would be the exact equivalent of they said,
00:50:04.000 so, Joe Biden, do you consider yourself a Democrat?
00:50:07.000 Of course.
00:50:08.000 And I will continue as a Republican.
00:50:11.000 You know what?
00:50:12.000 Fight for conservatism.
00:50:14.000 I don't understand this.
00:50:16.000 The two cannot be, you can't reconcile the two together.
00:50:19.000 And this is the beauty of just saying things that don't make sense, because then there's no accountability, and you can respond with, when they say, hey, you said that you would intervene militarily.
00:50:28.000 No, I said I would recognize China's one-China policy.
00:50:32.000 So yeah, you said that one phrase later, but which phrase, but that's the phrase that I meant more.
00:50:36.000 And the next person says, hold on a second, are you actually recognizing China's one-China policy?
00:50:40.000 It's like, well, no, we're going to defend Taiwan militarily.
00:50:43.000 But you just said, yeah, but I said this before that.
00:50:46.000 How do we call you on your bullshit, Joe?
00:50:48.000 You can't.
00:50:49.000 Well, he even gave it away.
00:50:51.000 He said you would end up with a situation like Ukraine.
00:50:53.000 Exactly.
00:50:54.000 That is why we warned you when this happened with Ukraine that China was paying attention.
00:51:00.000 And now you're in this untenable position of saying we will defend, but it's also part of China.
00:51:05.000 And here's the thing.
00:51:06.000 What he is saying doesn't make And it also cannot be reconciled with what the U.S.
00:51:11.000 State Department, they just removed key sections from the U.S.-Taiwan relations page.
00:51:15.000 Look, let me read it for you.
00:51:16.000 They removed the sections that read, the United States recognized the government of the People's Republic of China as the sole legal government of China.
00:51:23.000 Removed.
00:51:23.000 That's removed.
00:51:24.000 The United States does not support Taiwan independence.
00:51:27.000 That's removed.
00:51:28.000 I think that now, see, I think that would be a good thing because Taiwan should be its own country.
00:51:33.000 Great!
00:51:33.000 I think we should recognize Taiwan's independence.
00:51:36.000 I think it's important.
00:51:37.000 And he said that until he said the exact opposite of that, and then I wanted to punch my own face repeatedly.
00:51:43.000 Yeah, for a half a second I was like, well good, oh crap.
00:51:49.000 No.
00:51:49.000 Good for you.
00:51:50.000 Winnie the Pooh?
00:51:50.000 By the way, October of last year, this isn't the first time he's done this.
00:51:52.000 No.
00:51:53.000 Very similar comments.
00:51:54.000 October of last year.
00:51:55.000 I have had, I've spoken and spent more time with Xi Jinping than any other world leader
00:51:59.000 has.
00:52:00.000 That's why you have, you know, you hear people saying Biden wants to start a new cold war
00:52:05.000 with China.
00:52:06.000 I don't want a cold war with China.
00:52:07.000 I just want to make China understand that we are not going to step back.
00:52:11.000 We are not going to change any of our views.
00:52:13.000 So are you saying that the United States would come to Taiwan's defense if China attacked?
00:52:18.000 Yes, we have a commitment.
00:52:19.000 I don't know, he said the same thing.
00:52:20.000 I spent a lot of time with him!
00:52:21.000 I like him!
00:52:22.000 So you defend Taiwan?
00:52:25.000 I don't understand.
00:52:28.000 Look, there are two stances.
00:52:30.000 I seriously can't follow it.
00:52:31.000 No, there are two stances.
00:52:32.000 You recognize Taiwan's independence, that it's not China, that these people have a right to be free from the communist thumb of China, okay?
00:52:41.000 Or you support China's one-China policy.
00:52:43.000 You support this idea that Taiwan cannot be an independent state.
00:52:47.000 It's one or the other, and he consistently says both things.
00:52:52.000 So does the State Department.
00:52:54.000 Now let me be clear what the official stance has been, because I wanted to give him props and say, good for you.
00:52:58.000 Me too.
00:52:59.000 Good for you for having the balls to say, you know what, we will go and defend our friends in Taiwan.
00:53:04.000 Just because I want to watch John Cena make another stutter step.
00:53:09.000 So let me give you some history here.
00:53:10.000 This is, you know, switching when we switch sort of our tack, I guess.
00:53:15.000 1978, the U.S.
00:53:17.000 has practiced what is known as strategic ambiguity with Taiwan.
00:53:20.000 And that's no promise to defend.
00:53:22.000 That's no promise not to defend.
00:53:25.000 And most people assume that this meant the United States was defend, but we kept them on their toes.
00:53:31.000 What am I?
00:53:31.000 It's like a no-look jab, right?
00:53:33.000 Like, I don't know.
00:53:33.000 I don't know.
00:53:33.000 Boom.
00:53:34.000 Boom.
00:53:34.000 I don't know.
00:53:35.000 What are you doing, Xi Jinping?
00:53:36.000 I don't know.
00:53:36.000 Boom.
00:53:37.000 That's what it is!
00:53:39.000 In 1978 we had a few bigger fish to fry, right?
00:53:41.000 We're still in the midst of the Cold War and so we don't want to really set things off in two places.
00:53:46.000 So I get it.
00:53:47.000 It makes some sense at the time.
00:53:49.000 Right.
00:53:50.000 Well, you don't think that that's what it should be anymore.
00:53:53.000 Oh, I think decades ago it should have changed.
00:53:54.000 Where we officially defend Taiwan.
00:53:55.000 And that's what Ginger Stamp and I are going to talk about.
00:53:57.000 Yeah, because basically what it does is it tells China, like, okay, we're not encouraging Taiwan to separate from you guys, so it kind of placates them, lets them save face, and then Taiwan, it basically tells them, like, hey, we may or may not come to your aid, so don't go and declare independence thinking that you've got your big brother over here ready to come in and get your back.
00:54:13.000 And so it keeps both parties kind of at bay for a while, but all it does is kick the can down the road.
00:54:17.000 Eventually this is going to be a thing.
00:54:18.000 Well, if you also understand the mission statement of China, and by the way, the Communist Chinese Party, it's very racist.
00:54:23.000 They believe in basically one superior race of people, the Chinese race, and they believe in the sort of, you know, Pan-Pacific, and this is, by the way, this goes back a long, if you look at the wars and the battles between China and the Japanese, and also, hilariously enough, if you look at World War II, the Japanese believed that they were the superior race, and so did the Aryans, and they teamed up, and, I mean, one of them has to be wrong, would have been an awkward fight at the end of that war if they won.
00:54:42.000 Yeah, both were wrong, thank God.
00:54:44.000 I guess we beat the allies?
00:54:46.000 How do you want to handle this?
00:54:48.000 You're superior and we are too.
00:54:49.000 What if they just mixed?
00:54:51.000 Let's just, no, let's settle it with a game of who can reach the top shelf.
00:54:55.000 Oh no, they're superior!
00:54:57.000 Okay, another genocide.
00:54:58.000 All of your vile tricks!
00:55:00.000 I know, it's okay.
00:55:01.000 That's not fair.
00:55:01.000 Who makes the best sauerkraut?
00:55:03.000 Oh, it's us!
00:55:05.000 We win again.
00:55:06.000 So here's the thing.
00:55:08.000 The White House is already walking it back.
00:55:11.000 I think this is from this morning.
00:55:12.000 I couldn't do it fast enough!
00:55:14.000 This is what it says.
00:55:15.000 As the President said, for those confused, I'm referring to the former Vice President Joe Biden.
00:55:19.000 As the President said, our policy has not changed, but he also said that it did.
00:55:23.000 He reiterated our One China policy and our commitment to peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
00:55:29.000 He also reiterated our commitment under the Taiwan Relations Act to provide Taiwan with the military means to defend itself.
00:55:37.000 No.
00:55:37.000 No, he didn't.
00:55:38.000 He said that the United States would intervene militarily.
00:55:41.000 Yes.
00:55:41.000 Which is actually more aggressive than what we've done with the Ukraine, which is, you know, we haven't intervened militarily, we've just butted billions and billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars to aid.
00:55:49.000 How could that possibly piss off Russia or them see it as the United States in an act of war?
00:55:54.000 They were just asking if his diaper was full into his earpiece, and he replied, yes.
00:55:58.000 It was a total mistake.
00:55:59.000 The distortion!
00:56:00.000 There's too much bass on the beats by Dr. Dre earpieces.
00:56:03.000 Yes, they asked if he smelled toast.
00:56:06.000 He said, yes.
00:56:07.000 Are you tasting wet pennies?
00:56:09.000 Yes, yes.
00:56:10.000 We completely are bad.
00:56:13.000 So, here's the thing.
00:56:14.000 Now they're trying to say, the White House is saying, he said this, but he also said this.
00:56:19.000 What they're trying to say is, we want to be friends with China, we don't want to piss them off, and we also want to act like we'll protect Taiwan, but we probably won't.
00:56:27.000 This is also important because here's another layer to this.
00:56:31.000 Biden's, he just signed this new Indo-Pacific, it's a trade agreement.
00:56:36.000 It's called the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework.
00:56:38.000 Let's bring this up, it's from ABC News.
00:56:40.000 And this has 13 members for trading.
00:56:42.000 Okay, let me read you some of the, let me read you the, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, I was about to say Vietnam, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand.
00:56:53.000 So you see, this is like, by the way, it's very Asiatic.
00:56:56.000 There we go.
00:56:58.000 One country seems to be missing.
00:57:01.000 Any idea which one, Gerald?
00:57:04.000 Could it be Taiwan?
00:57:05.000 Great guess!
00:57:06.000 Oh, boom!
00:57:07.000 They don't recognize it as a country.
00:57:08.000 That's weird.
00:57:09.000 And Taiwan is obviously being excluded at the behest of China.
00:57:13.000 Just to be clear, just like when the WHO was interviewed on a Skype call and they were asked about Taiwan and they refused to even acknowledge them.
00:57:20.000 This is the difference between Donald Trump and this guy.
00:57:25.000 This guy is beholden to China in a way that Donald Trump wasn't.
00:57:29.000 He just said he spent more time with Winnie the Pooh than anybody else!
00:57:33.000 They have a great relationship!
00:57:35.000 That was one of his major selling points, is I'm not gonna, you know, I'm gonna re-establish respect across the world.
00:57:40.000 Look, this is also important to know- Biden is his tigger.
00:57:43.000 Yeah.
00:57:45.000 Anyway, we'll go back to the monkeypox thing.
00:57:47.000 I met his friend.
00:57:47.000 Yeah.
00:57:48.000 This is the monkeypox thing.
00:57:49.000 We moved on from monkeypox.
00:57:51.000 So, this is one of those issues where It's really hard for people to understand.
00:57:57.000 That's by design.
00:57:59.000 He says nothing by saying all of the things.
00:58:04.000 That's the strategy.
00:58:05.000 It's say everything, take every position, and then afterwards claim credit as though you were right.
00:58:05.000 It really is.
00:58:11.000 Let me just sort of make the case to you why it's different from Ukraine.
00:58:15.000 You know, Taiwan, we're very, very dependent on a place like Taiwan for computer chips.
00:58:20.000 A lot of people don't realize.
00:58:21.000 There are certain things that come from Taiwan, you know, technological innovations that come out of there, certainly technological manufacturing that comes out of Taiwan, not China.
00:58:28.000 And that's why China wants control of that.
00:58:31.000 If China gets control of the chipsets, you know, Uh, that exist in Taiwan and they somehow managed to get control of Taiwan.
00:58:37.000 We did a whole segment on this, you know, this is what this war would look like.
00:58:40.000 It would have to take place during one of two months, uh, out of the entire year because of the, uh, the seas and how they act, how they would have to conquer the land, how they would have to be thwarted, what kind of, uh, of, of ship care of, uh, carriers they would need.
00:58:53.000 We did a whole segment on that.
00:58:54.000 We'll actually put a link in the description.
00:58:56.000 Um, and all references are available at ladoscreditor.com.
00:58:58.000 I don't want to get into that, but the, the issue here is this is something that would affect us very, In a very serious way.
00:59:04.000 Now, I know many of you are saying, well, that's the case with Ukraine.
00:59:08.000 It didn't have to be, though.
00:59:10.000 We are dependent on Ukraine for nothing.
00:59:12.000 So that's the problem here, for example, with Ukraine.
00:59:15.000 Let's look at that.
00:59:16.000 The wheat shortage.
00:59:16.000 Yeah.
00:59:18.000 You know, the United States is the breadbasket of the world, right?
00:59:21.000 We do not need any wheat from Ukraine.
00:59:23.000 I think they supply something like 70, 80 percent, depending which number you use, of the world's wheat.
00:59:28.000 When you're a country the size of a thimble, And your entire, your entire economic, you know, your export plan is wheat, right?
00:59:35.000 This is a problem.
00:59:36.000 You have places like China, you have places across all of Asia and Europe that say, okay, we don't want our economy to be based on wheat.
00:59:45.000 This is, this is labor intensive.
00:59:46.000 Let's just do manufacturing and we'll get our wheat from Ukraine.
00:59:49.000 Well, guess what?
00:59:49.000 This is really going to hurt a lot of countries, particularly countries in the third world who are dependent on wheat from Ukraine.
00:59:53.000 Now, America first would be, sorry guys, We have our own wheat, though.
00:59:59.000 We're going to make sure that we can feed Americans first.
01:00:03.000 But you can bet what's going to happen is, oh, the world has a wheat shortage, so America's going to go in and help.
01:00:07.000 Hey, I have an idea.
01:00:08.000 How about they come in and help us?
01:00:10.000 When does that ever happen?
01:00:12.000 We get to hear Sweden bitch about America and how you guys are warmongers, right?
01:00:16.000 And then now they want to join NATO decades later because they realize the official policy line of being a perpetual pussy doesn't work in the real world.
01:00:25.000 Hey, how about you guys come help us?
01:00:26.000 Hey, how about West African nations?
01:00:28.000 Hey, how about you send us some stuff for free?
01:00:31.000 Hey, Haiti, where's our disaster relief?
01:00:35.000 No, no, how about this?
01:00:36.000 In other words, instead of that, we're not going to expect any help from you, whether it be militarily, whether it be in emergency services.
01:00:42.000 We're just not going to give you our stuff when we need it.
01:00:47.000 The problem with that, you have Stephen Colbert saying, I don't mind paying a few bucks more for gas.
01:00:52.000 Well, guess what?
01:00:53.000 You have a family of five.
01:00:54.000 $15 a gallon.
01:00:55.000 Oh, yeah, that's right.
01:00:56.000 $15 a gallon.
01:00:57.000 Yeah, 15 bucks more for gas.
01:00:58.000 Guess what?
01:00:59.000 Americans shouldn't have to make that choice.
01:01:02.000 But what about these people?
01:01:03.000 Sorry, don't care.
01:01:05.000 Don't care.
01:01:07.000 Just because we are more successful, just because we have more bounty, does not mean that we should be required to give it to the rest of the world.
01:01:14.000 And so, I'm not a non-interventionist.
01:01:18.000 I just don't believe that we should be in foreign conflicts unless it benefits us.
01:01:22.000 That's what America First is.
01:01:23.000 And defending Taiwan is very important because if China gets control of Taiwan, boom, it's a skip and a hop and you look through the islands, Japan, and then of course they have this unholy alliance with North Korea.
01:01:31.000 This is far more serious than Russia-Ukraine.
01:01:35.000 That's why they don't want to be clear on it!
01:01:38.000 Because of how much of a failure it's been with Russia-Ukraine.
01:01:43.000 For crying out loud, how many billions of dollars, how many billions of dollars now with Ukraine?
01:01:46.000 Are we talking about $80 billion?
01:01:47.000 I don't know what the total is.
01:01:49.000 It was $40 billion, it was $10 billion, $40 billion, there was a $7 billion?
01:01:51.000 I don't know.
01:01:51.000 Well, they were trying to get there quickly with the $40 billion.
01:01:54.000 Too many billions!
01:01:54.000 $40, yeah.
01:01:56.000 And it was $40 at first, right?
01:01:57.000 Issues here, yeah.
01:01:58.000 No, we've given so much money and so many people have made the point, like, we really don't have the money to give, guys.
01:02:03.000 You're just printing money at this point and then wondering why inflation's happening.
01:02:08.000 Seriously, asking those questions in the same sentence?
01:02:10.000 It is absolutely this administration's policy to ask questions or make statements that contradict themselves or answer the question in the question.
01:02:18.000 It's like, yeah, I just printed a bunch of money, but there's inflation.
01:02:21.000 It's super weird.
01:02:22.000 We have no idea what to do.
01:02:23.000 Okay, you know what?
01:02:23.000 This is a genuine experiment.
01:02:24.000 By the way, you can hit the like button or share button on YouTube, but I do want you guys to comment below.
01:02:28.000 Genuine question.
01:02:30.000 All the references are available at LetUsCredit.com, so I want you to read them.
01:02:33.000 I want you to go watch the original videos.
01:02:34.000 Don't take my word for it.
01:02:36.000 I will tell you, I'm not lying, but I ask that you assume I am.
01:02:42.000 Let's say something happened between China and Taiwan, a conflict erupted.
01:02:45.000 Okay?
01:02:46.000 Hypothetical.
01:02:47.000 Tomorrow.
01:02:50.000 What will this administration do?
01:02:51.000 Do you have an answer?
01:02:56.000 Can I just get out of this question?
01:02:58.000 That is an honest question.
01:02:59.000 Honestly, what will they do?
01:03:00.000 Do you know?
01:03:01.000 I have no idea.
01:03:03.000 If China owns our debt, and we're giving Taiwan fake money that we don't even have, how does this even work?
01:03:11.000 China's really just paying Taiwan through us, technically.
01:03:16.000 That's big money.
01:03:16.000 I'm not an economist, but that sounds correct.
01:03:19.000 Is that right?
01:03:20.000 I mean, China doesn't own all of our debt.
01:03:21.000 No, no, no, not all of our debt, but some of it.
01:03:23.000 Yeah, they have a large stake in us.
01:03:26.000 I just, uh, someday we're just like, uh, you know, remember that debt?
01:03:29.000 No, no.
01:03:29.000 Couldn't we just be like, we didn't, we don't have that debt because we bought, we went to a place that doesn't exist.
01:03:36.000 It's right off your coast.
01:03:37.000 You should go look and see if you can find it.
01:03:40.000 So maybe we should let them destroy Taiwan and be all like, yeah, we don't even know where your money went.
01:03:47.000 That place didn't happen.
01:03:48.000 Does anyone know what this administration would do?
01:03:52.000 I have no idea.
01:03:53.000 That's what I mean, though.
01:03:54.000 Do you know what they would do?
01:03:56.000 Based on what Joe Biden has said, comment below.
01:03:57.000 Based on what he has said and based on what the White House has said.
01:04:00.000 China invades Taiwan.
01:04:02.000 It would have to take place, I believe, during either October or April, or is it October?
01:04:06.000 I believe it's October or April.
01:04:07.000 Those are the only two months that they could even try and break those seats.
01:04:09.000 Sweets.
01:04:10.000 So, China invades Taiwan.
01:04:12.000 Let's say that that happens.
01:04:13.000 They start a war.
01:04:15.000 Based on what Joe Biden has said, and the White House, and the State Department, does the United States intervene or not?
01:04:25.000 I'm not asking what you want, I'm asking are you clear On what the answer would be?
01:04:30.000 No, I mean, I think there's no definitive answer right now.
01:04:33.000 What they will do is whatever is politically expedient.
01:04:36.000 At whatever cost it is to win the election or to win favor with the American people, they will do it.
01:04:41.000 Just like they're doing in Ukraine right now because they think there's enough support.
01:04:44.000 Do you see the problem?
01:04:45.000 Here's the problem.
01:04:48.000 We should have never had anything to do with Ukraine and Russia.
01:04:50.000 There's going to be foreign war fatigue.
01:04:52.000 And like we always talked about, we should have kept our powder dry for Taiwan.
01:04:56.000 And by the time it gets to something that actually affects us on a significant level, and someone who is a significant ally, Taiwan, who we've been dicking around for decades, by the way, and have not been clear.
01:05:08.000 We haven't defined the relationship.
01:05:10.000 People will have fatigue of foreign intervention and then say, you know what we did with the Ukraine?
01:05:14.000 So no Taiwan and their left.
01:05:16.000 Holding the bag because this administration will only do what is politically expedient, not make the hard decisions.
01:05:21.000 The hard decision should have been, sorry Ukraine, that's not our war.
01:05:26.000 That would have been the hard decision.
01:05:28.000 They said, oh, you know what, right now people feel bad, we need something to move on because COVID.
01:05:31.000 Uh, Ukraine, people are not really happy about all this aid going over to the Ukraine, despite what the media tells you.
01:05:37.000 Ukraine, sorry, I keep saying, I said the Ukraine, it's Ukraine now.
01:05:40.000 There's going to be war fatigue when it comes to Taiwan and China, and that is an important one.
01:05:45.000 That is one that I have said for a very long time the United States would need to be involved with if we want the world to remain as it is or to avoid World War III.
01:05:54.000 But when you don't have principles, when you don't have any kind of a backbone, you cannot provide a consistent answer, you simply end up going whichever way the wind blows, and that's how you end up with this.
01:06:04.000 Think of it.
01:06:04.000 It's not just a consistent policy that has led to the inflation gas prices.
01:06:09.000 It's the remarkably inconsistent policy.
01:06:12.000 It's not a consistent policy that has led to businesses being shut down.
01:06:17.000 It's the inconsistent policy.
01:06:19.000 It's not knowing where we're going.
01:06:20.000 It's not knowing where we're going.
01:06:22.000 Saying, oh, OK, we're going to reopen.
01:06:23.000 OK, good.
01:06:24.000 No, no, a lockdown?
01:06:25.000 OK, I'm sorry, a lockdown?
01:06:26.000 You can't make decisions based on that.
01:06:29.000 Whether you liked Donald Trump or hated him, you knew which direction that ship, you knew which direction that was headed.
01:06:34.000 And if he didn't shut up, he was going to turn that car right back around.
01:06:39.000 I cannot answer this.
01:06:40.000 This is what I do for a living.
01:06:42.000 I cannot answer to you.
01:06:43.000 What will happen if there's some kind of an invasion of Taiwan on China's behalf?
01:06:48.000 I cannot answer to you what will happen based on what this administration is sending out.
01:06:53.000 And no expert can.
01:06:54.000 Any talking heads right now on CNN are lying.
01:06:58.000 No one has any clue.
01:06:59.000 All I can tell you is that it will be based on political expediency, and we know that Americans have very short memories.
01:07:04.000 That's what they're banking on.
01:07:05.000 That's a horrible place to be.
01:07:07.000 And historically, it is not a way.
01:07:11.000 To create foreign policy.
01:07:12.000 So we're actually going to argue about this, and I guess watch the new Mission Impossible trailer.
01:07:15.000 Oh, there's another one?
01:07:16.000 Well, we're going to argue about monkeypox in a way that we could absolutely not discuss on YouTube.
01:07:20.000 I bet Tom Cruise is going to be running in this trailer.
01:07:22.000 Yeah.
01:07:22.000 Okay.
01:07:23.000 Over, under, if he's running.
01:07:25.000 I'd be willing to bet significant money.
01:07:27.000 That's all he does is run.
01:07:27.000 I'm looking forward to another Vietnam and gas shortage.
01:07:32.000 Don't forget the gas lines.
01:07:34.000 Not just the shortage, gas lines.
01:07:35.000 Speeding limit at 50 miles an hour or under.
01:07:38.000 I'm excited.
01:07:39.000 We're headed the right direction and by that I mean I may go to Mug Club or I may go swallow a sword.
