This week, we take a look at the rape capital of the world, Sweden. We're joined by James O'Keefe, Sally Cohn, and Nate Silver to discuss all things sexual assault, rape, and Bill Cosby.
00:00:48.000There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man, woman, and even Z.
00:01:00.000A dimension far beyond the reach of mainstream media and their fake news journalists, where daily content meets affordable pricing.
00:01:10.000It is the middle ground between illuminating conversation and dick jokes, between enlightening, rigorous debate and undercover tranny experiments.
00:01:18.000And it lies somewhere between the carnal urges to be triggered and the summit of sexual preference curiosity.
00:01:26.000This is the uncharted dimension of the Internet.
00:01:29.000It is an area which we call the Mug Club Zone.
00:05:51.000Also, the test, the mock town halls went on for far too long because Bill Cosby had to notify every single attendee that he was officially a registered sex offender.
00:07:54.000The boy from Morocco said that he was elated to have finally arrived in Spain, of course, but then was super pissed when he realized he could have just taken a raft, so that would have made it a whole lot easier.
00:08:04.000So this is something from CNN. We're going to be talking about CNN and fake news, but let's also talk about propaganda when we're talking about CNN. That's what's most fair.
00:08:13.000Elmo just appeared on CNN to push this idea of refugee kids.
00:08:19.000Where he said that refugee kids are just like kids everywhere.
00:12:19.000So not only can you not deport people who are much more likely to cause crime, But you're now less capable of defending yourself against people who are more likely to cause crime because you have to turn in your weaponry.
00:12:31.000By the way, the people who are coming here illegally, I don't know that it's stopping them from illegally purchasing firearms or illegally purchasing firearms without the bullet button in California.
00:12:42.000And not only that, not only do you have no right to deport people who are there illegally and face fines, your cities for doing so, so you've exposed your people, not only do you not have the ability to defend yourself in California, but...
00:12:56.000And up to 58% just in Texas, by the way.
00:12:59.000We couldn't find all of these statistics.
00:13:00.000Up to 58% of illegal immigrants in Texas take some kind of welfare or government subsidies.
00:13:57.000There's some truth to some people in the Trump administration who've had some issues with Russia.
00:14:00.000Sure, there have been some people who might have some connections that maybe you could have made stick.
00:14:03.000But then you go so far and say, by the way, Trump's having secret meetings with Putin and he might be lovers with him and they hacked the election and no one believes you.
00:14:11.000Maybe there'd be some truth in California where Californians would say, okay, you know what, maybe some reasonable gun control measures.
00:14:17.000Maybe they'd say, you know what, maybe amnesty for, like, people who were born here legally, whose parents came here.
00:17:57.000I said in the first video on CNN quote, and I said this in my on-camera introducing the segment, I'd like to introduce you to CNN supervising producer John Bonnefeld in Atlanta.
00:18:07.000The Washington Post reporter wrote an article right after the video came out that said, and I quote, James doesn't include that he is based in Atlanta.
00:18:17.000So, I wrote, I said, I'd like to introduce you to CNN producer John Bonifield in Atlanta, and the Washington Post wrote, it doesn't disclose that he is based in Atlanta.
00:18:26.000You can't possibly get, you can't possibly get a more clear factual error than that.
00:18:49.000Well, listen, I mean, this is kind of a minor deal, but the Washington Post is caught, and I'm going to get a retraction, so I just figured I'd get a retraction so I could frame the retraction as yet another example of fake news.
00:21:20.000That is monumental, especially after they ran with a story that we knew was fake, like BuzzFeed and, what was it, BuzzFeed and CNN? The peeing, the prostitute one?
00:21:28.000For everyone that you know is untrue, there's 20 more that you don't necessarily hear about.
00:21:44.000What we're doing, this whole American Pravda series is a threat to their monopoly on information because they don't trust you with information.
00:21:53.000They want to shove narratives down your throat.
00:21:55.000And as you said, Stephen, if one of them is on tape, how many other people...
00:21:59.000And by the way, let me just say this about John Bonifield in the first video.
00:22:06.000He seems like kind of the way you or I would behave if we were at the corporation.
00:22:10.000I just think he's sort of naked in his honesty, and he's just sort of telling the truth about the culture of the company.
00:22:15.000If anyone's the villain, it's the CEO, Jeff Zucker, who actually creates the company culture that says, stop doing investigative reporting and start focusing on this crap story that we know isn't true.
00:22:28.000Now, to be fair, this doesn't mean that nothing about Russia is true.
00:22:32.000It means right now that the Trump investigation going after Trump, that doesn't mean that people like Paul Manafort, there haven't been some other ties.
00:22:37.000What they've tried to do is take some issues that are true and tie a thread.
00:22:40.000Therefore, Trump colluded with Russia for the You know, to win the election, to steal the election, to use their term.
00:24:37.000We need to ask the New York Times and the Washington Post to show us some, not all, some of their sources.
00:24:43.000Yeah, and it does happen somewhat on the right.
00:24:46.000I think it has become the rule for the left, not the exception.
00:24:49.000There are some sites on the right where they do that, and it aggravates me as well.
00:24:51.000Mike, listen, you can't just only rely on anonymous sources all the time.
00:24:55.000Listen, we've always talked about this.
00:24:57.000We've broken some news, which kind of...
00:24:59.000I mean, you know, we didn't expect to get an interview with Wendy Davis dressed up as a tranny, but it happened, so we have to run with it.
00:25:06.000But we always, as entertainers, have tried to be as transparent as possible.
00:25:11.000We're listing our sources and actual URLs as entertainers just because we don't want people to say that we're lying as entertainers, whereas sometimes jokes are lies.
00:25:50.000It's someone in a New York location who's describing the extreme bias and some of the really bad elements of their productions and how they're done.
00:25:59.000I think, listen, Bonifield was a non-villain who was telling the truth about the culture of the company as directed by the CEO. Van Jones is a star who is contradicting himself public and private.
00:26:10.000In public, he says, rushes everything.
00:26:11.000In private, he says, it's a nothing burger.
00:26:13.000Tomorrow, you're going to see a different element of the series.
00:27:07.000And we have a few big sponsorships we've been working with who've really reached out to the show.
00:27:10.000Well, we didn't really know because we haven't sold a ton of sponsorships.
00:27:13.000We've just run our own kind of ads for Mug Club and our merch store.
00:27:17.000So we went to someone who cuts all the ad sheets for Rush Limbaugh and does a lot of the buys.
00:27:23.000And he explained to us these numbers here are the rolling quarterly average, meaning...
00:27:28.000This amount of people could be tuning in potentially every quarter hour.
00:27:33.000So then when we gave him our numbers, we don't release our numbers publicly because we don't want to be the people who rest on the laurels of our numbers, hopefully the content, but I will say we're very grateful and blessed to have a decent audience.
00:27:43.000When we said, okay, here are our numbers, we said they don't seem as high as those, but he said, hold on a second, how long do they watch or listen for?
00:27:57.000We had no idea that this is what standard sponsorships went for because the listen rate and the stay-through rate is so, and it's even lower on cable news than on AM radio.
00:28:06.000You know, Howard Stern stunned with 22 minutes.
00:28:20.000If you're getting a million people watching one of these clips, that's a million people watching all the way through, not a million people seeing 10 seconds of Don Lemon drunk off his ass.
00:28:29.000And the conversation we're having right now is far more in-depth than anything you can see on television because they do everything in little itty-bitty Yes, I think it's no longer like David versus people say, Oh, you're going after Goliath in many ways.
00:29:13.000When we went to YouTube, YouTube invited us out to this conference, a summit in New York.
00:29:16.000And I never felt more alone, not because of Google and the YouTube people who we knew were liberals, but because of some conservatives who were offended by us.
00:29:24.000I remember I asked a question about the women from BuzzFeed painting with their period blood, and I spoke about it bluntly.
00:29:29.000And the guy behind me was like, well, I have a less salacious question.
00:30:58.000By the way, You'll be shocked at the amount these people make.
00:31:02.000The idea that these people are taking jobs Americans wouldn't do for wages they wouldn't take, it is far greater than even the Fight for 15 demands, these people, and it's tax-free, and not a big fan of white people coming in, just wanting to earn a living, so it doesn't take as long, but it is still really, really hard, and that's why I have a tremendous amount of appreciation for what you do.
00:31:21.000Where's the best place for people to watch it as you drip, drip, drop these, James O'Keefe?
00:35:12.000Well, it just so happens we're so fortunate that, not fortunate, I shouldn't use that word, but we were always planning on doing Sweden as the end of the month, and they just upped the no-go zones today with the police commissioner saying, we need help, there's going to be a civil war, it's already begun in some areas of Sweden.
00:35:37.000So, speaking of rape in more of a psychological sense, you went to VidCon, and Anita Sarkeesian was there, and this is where all the drama kind of stems from.
00:35:45.000She's a feminist who's swindled people.
00:37:57.000Everything you've just said, though, could be said about you or myself.
00:38:00.000There are people who make it a living to say your crap or debunk your arguments, or my own, or Joe Rogan has guys like that, but you have plenty of people on the other side.
00:38:08.000I mean, the point is, it doesn't exclusively happen to women.
00:38:12.000It happens to anyone who creates content.
00:40:42.000I mean, she's been really irrelevant for a long time, but I thought this would be an interesting thing.
00:40:46.000You know, maybe we can actually say, okay, Anita, why did you ignore certain aspects of games in order to sort of formulate this fake criticism?
00:42:20.000Well, I think, you know, this is what we do with our show, because we realize, like, it'll be a full-time job in dealing with YouTube drama.
00:42:28.000You can have someone who is functionally retarded, and they can make a rebuttal look brilliant if you give them enough time.
00:42:33.000So what we do is, if we put something out, and there's a legitimate critique, or there's something that we think is really a problem, we say, okay, come on the show, we'll talk about it.
00:42:40.000And if they don't come on live, we move on.
00:42:42.000Because you can't go back and forth with video rebuttal.
00:42:44.000At some point, it's got to occur live.
00:42:49.000we'll do this, we'll actually have a one-on-one conversation or debate, and I know that you're generally a very civil guy, even in disagreements we've had, then it wouldn't be an issue.
00:42:56.000But when you never do it, that's where these things grow.
00:43:06.000She never addresses, and she never has.
00:43:08.000And she's always been insulated by the sort of class of the gaming press and the progressive feminist activists that surround her.
00:43:15.000I mean, it's almost like they're complicit in all of this on purpose.
00:43:18.000You know, they don't want her to face any criticism.
00:43:21.000And even when they have criticisms of their own...
00:43:23.000I mean, if you're having a one-on-one conversation with them or a livestream with them, they will say, well, yeah, I mean, I have criticisms of her work as well.
00:43:30.000But then they will want to talk about the harassment.
00:43:32.000And it's like, okay, well, I don't have anything to do with harassment.
00:44:19.000It's not so much, she has no audience, but it's the fact that you just mentioned Mike.com.
00:44:25.000It's not that they have an audience, it's who they have at their disposal.
00:44:29.000Wong Ket, Mike.com, Gawker, MSN. There's this elitist, I think it's a good thing for us in the long run because there's more of a disconnect, but they do have a lot of people in the media who treat them as far more legitimate than any audience ever does.
00:46:13.000GQ magazine, you will read one article that just bashes Republicans and praises Bernie, tax the rich, and then the very next page is what to wear to your yachting party.
00:46:22.000No one's going to read this, you know?
00:48:31.000You know, we give a lot more content out on YouTube than ever before, but like we said, we're hoping to be re-monetized, more monetized soon again, but we've seen a huge divot in there, just like you see with Sargon and people we've talked with.
00:48:44.000Mug Club is the, ironically, the only thing that allows us to continue giving out free content.
00:48:50.000Paying for that premium content, us doing the additional daily show.
00:48:52.000And what you see, by the way, you're not seeing the lion's share.
00:48:54.000We are doing a full one-hour show every day.
00:51:40.000Well, I was phrasing it in the inverse, so in other words, I... Okay.
00:51:45.000Believe it or not, would go out of my way not to offend people.
00:51:49.000And I feel like you, I think you have a great sense of humor, you know I think this Steven, but I feel like you, like a joke gets a bonus for you if it offends people.
00:52:01.000Well, I can't say that that's wrong if it offends the right people.
00:52:04.000So, in this case, if it offends terrorists in Sweden creating no-go zones, I can sleep with myself at night.
00:52:11.000I do think people say this, and this is something that I do think the left sometimes misses, they don't realize that they do say things that are far more hateful than a joke that's offensive.
00:52:20.000You know, whether it's saying, like, Republicans want to kill poor people with their health care bill.
00:52:24.000Both sides have rhetoric and they don't realize you're insulting somebody.
00:52:30.000But that being said, if you tune into Trevor Noah, you tune into any of these folks, Samantha Bee just talked about Paul Ryan masturbating to the thought of people losing health care.
00:52:38.000I think a blow-up terrorist doll is far less offensive.
00:52:42.000Okay, so meanwhile, I just want to, because when you hear about these no-go zones, and you know, this is very interesting, this choose-your-own-facts situation, so I'm not going to cite the New York Times, God forbid, and credible journalists, but I am going to go with Snopes.
00:53:00.000It came out before when they said no-no goes on, and they were in France, and the mayor of Paris and the prime minister of France came out and said, nope, that's not true.
00:54:25.000When you say that, when you say, let's deal with facts, when you say things or leftists say things, and I think I've seen you say things like this, you can correct me if wrong, that Republicans don't care about the poor losing health insurance.
00:54:36.000When you say what you just said, that is an affront.
00:54:37.000That's deliberately designed to be offensive to people you disagree with.
00:55:10.000We have become so polarized that what's truly philosophically and morally interesting to me is that we all seem to agree on where the lines are of inappropriateness.
00:55:26.000We just disagree about who's on which side.
00:56:34.000Maybe putting that piece aside, we all should have sort of reasonable standards of humanity and decency, and what does worry me, and again, I'm not exempting myself from this, I'm not saying I've always been perfect, ever, in the last three days, like, you know.
00:56:50.000But is that we should all aspire to have our disagreements and our debates without it devolving into something that actually undermines the sort of It's a common humanity that I hope we all hold and continue to remember.
00:57:07.000I know you don't like the gag here today, but we've had you on a lot, and I feel like we're pretty fair and give you a platform to speak, certainly more so than CNN. Quiet, keep coming on, man.
00:57:15.000Yes, and by the way, everyone should be, even if you disagree, kind of at Sally Cohn.
00:57:20.000As a matter of fact, we've had remarkably good results with having people with differing opinions.
00:57:26.000We always get some people, that's a person's libtard.
00:57:57.000Wait, are you at CNN? Yeah, I still am.
00:57:59.000And your people, by the way, are absolutely delightful.
00:58:02.000I wouldn't come back on if I didn't think your audience was always open-minded.
00:58:07.000I honestly thought, I thought for, here's the thing, this is not a lie, I don't have cable, I thought for some reason you were with MSNBC, so...
01:01:10.000I have to say, I've actually, sort of having done this for a while, I've been stunned, and this was true when I was at Fox News as well, by the way, of how people in the media's viewpoints are actually generally more in the middle than either perspective in the country.
01:01:27.000And that's very interesting to me for a whole host of reasons, and as a community organizer, I find that problematic, right?
01:01:38.000And when you talk behind the scenes to a lot of the anchors who you maybe think of as liberal and biased, they actually are pretty middle of the road.
01:01:44.000And you talk to a lot of the Fox News people who you may think is pretty conservative and right, they actually are more middle of the road.
01:02:37.000I was on a conservative radio show, and I mentioned that Trump had leaked intelligence information to the Russian ambassador, and the host went after me, just went, oh, that's fake news, and you're citing the New York Times and the Washington Post.
01:02:49.000And I said, well, it was the exact same day, the exact same day that Trump himself In a conversation with Netanyahu, admitted that he had done just that.
01:02:58.000But Trump at the time, before when the story came out, he attacked it as fake news.
01:03:02.000Fake news has become a euphemism for news I don't like.
01:03:06.000And it was created by the left for everyone who was on the right.
01:03:49.000For example, if you guys said, okay, there's some unsavory characters in his cabinet, in this administration, the Paul Manafort thing, boom, direct Russia ties, okay, fine.
01:03:57.000But instead you say, Donald Trump is under investigation, Donald Trump himself has ties to Russia, there's no evidence of it, and they run for hours on it.
01:04:06.000Again, this is interesting because I feel like all I see is the media and these outlets and really good journalists who are breaking their backs to get these stories in an environment of increasing, you know, closing off access to the press, being so careful to not say that he is suspected of direct collusion.
01:04:28.000I have never seen The Times, The Washington Post, CNN ever say that.
01:04:31.000They have said that there is an investigation With respect to whether there was on the part of some of his campaign advisors, but like...
01:04:41.000And that's what the James O'Keefe things recently.
01:04:43.000People have been, you know, that's the issue people have with people saying, listen, we know there's nothing here right now and they keep pushing.
01:04:48.000If you'd have gone with, okay, like you said, that common thread of truth, that's fine.
01:04:53.000But people right now, and this is the thing, right now they're hearing this and they're going, hold on a second.
01:04:57.000I feel like every damn day there's a new Trump-Russia bombshell, because there is, and they all end up going away because they come from unnamed, unsourced sources.
01:05:55.000Both houses are investigating Not only whether there was any collusion, of which there is currently no consequential proof, let's be clear, but also the fact that our hard-working intelligence agencies have definitively said Russia tried to interfere in our election.
01:06:13.000Even that, even that, President Trump still says, is fake news.
01:06:17.000Now, you're blaming the media for that?
01:07:12.000There's a difference between that and a lie.
01:07:13.000If you're going to hold me accountable for everything the left does, I get to hold you accountable for everything I'm not holding you accountable.
01:07:19.000You said the left news, CNN, that they were reputable news sources, and I'm saying that they are not.
01:07:24.000And then I said I'm only going to speak for myself.
01:07:26.000Okay, well that's fair, but you did say the media in general.
01:07:28.000I'm saying the reason the Americans distrust...
01:07:30.000Again, let's kind of fill in blind spots.
01:07:32.000The reason that conservatives in the United States don't trust the media is because of fake dossiers, fake stories from unnamed sources.
01:07:37.000A good example, we just had James O'Keefe on the show.
01:07:38.000I know you probably don't like him, but he released his video...
01:07:41.000And he just showed us right now the document where he talked about the man, director, the first person in Atlanta, Georgia.
01:07:49.000The Washington Post released an article saying he fails to mention that this man was actually based in Atlanta, Georgia.
01:07:54.000He sent them an email saying this is actually the original release.
01:09:33.000But that doesn't make it okay for mainstream news networks to simply be misleading and create and run with false stories without any substantiation.
01:09:42.000And that's why we have a problem trusting them.
01:09:44.000And I would really wish people got on them more than me for the ventriloquist dummy back here with the beard.
01:09:51.000Okay, so here's where we maybe can agree.
01:09:53.000I do hold mainstream media to a higher standard than you, Stephen.
01:10:00.000Number two, the difference is the president, when confronted with examples of his lies, his misstatements, maybe they were slips of the tongue, maybe they were their accents.
01:10:38.000But the media doesn't, and they haven't.
01:10:40.000Just now, we have the ability to call them on it.
01:10:42.000Someone with a cell phone video camera, someone who can do a little bit of digging online can say, oh, that's untrue, and here's videographic evidence, and they don't like it.
01:10:51.000So I wish that they kept themselves accountable.
01:10:53.000I really do, but I don't think they do.
01:10:55.000And I hate that people like me have to.
01:11:06.000It's just stunning to me that a couple of edited videotapes by a known, misleading huckster like James O'Keefe, they serve your ideological agenda, so you're going to believe those.
01:11:18.000We've got dozens and dozens of unedited dashboard cams that clearly show a pattern, but...
01:11:24.000You know, part of the country doesn't like the conclusions.
01:11:42.000You're talking two videos show a pattern in the media.
01:11:44.000Well, no, I don't think James O'Keefe has been misleading.
01:11:49.000I don't think James O'Keefe has been misleading.
01:11:51.000I think just saying it's selectively edited, that's what everyone said with Andrew Breitbart until all of a sudden he was the one who got Anthony Weiner to resign.
01:11:56.000They all said, he lies, nothing's true, and then, damn, Anthony Weiner came out, and they said, okay, Andrew was right about that, but he's still probably wrong on everything else.

01:14:42.000People say, I won't hit like because I don't like Sally Cohn.
01:14:45.000And that is something that is a real problem now where people just, I only hit like to things I agree with.
01:14:52.000As a matter of fact, we'll have videos on topics where Where we are actually rebutting the topics, or topics that we seriously disagree with, and we'll notice a huge amount of downvotes because people see a title on it.
01:15:04.000A title on a topic that they don't like.
01:16:09.000And the following week, we've already booked it up with some fantastic guests, and we have some pretty big jihadi bond and maybe some trony bang segments in the works.
01:16:18.000So, listen, we have to go pretty soon here.
01:17:25.000So that could be anywhere from 5 o'clock, 6 o'clock in the morning, I'm up, and then I go have my morning beverage, which starts my body moving.
01:18:58.000I had fun enough with Sound Guy, Edward, while we were taping this video about this.
01:19:00.000There's this misconceived notion that successful people, not saying we're successful, I mean, come on, this is moderate in the most generous of terms, but that successful people just, they just meant, you can do anything you put your mind to.
01:19:13.000And so that means they will it into existence.
01:19:17.000You don't just put your mind to being LeBron James.
01:19:19.000You don't just put your mind to creating a new app or software that changes the world.
01:19:24.000There's this idea, it's better than a bumper sticker, anything you put your mind to.

01:21:11.000And I mean that both literally and figuratively.
01:21:13.000I mean, literally, it starts with getting up early in the morning and figuratively.
01:21:16.000If you have a problem, if you feel as though you're an outsider at your school, if you're backsliding in whatever it is, your sport, your athletic endeavors, your faith, your relationships...
01:21:35.000I know for me, and whether I have a good day or a bad day, often a good week or a bad week, and I know I look back on my life, that's often what it's been with any scenario, any area of my life where I feel somewhat complete and somewhat satisfied.
