On this week's episode of So Glad to Be With You, the Hodge Twins are in Virginia Tech, and we have a special guest, Jason Pinot Noir, to help us discuss the budget. We also discuss some of the most cringe-worthy gaffes Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has ever said, and a question about who we think is more embarrassing: Donald Trump or Justin Trudeau.
00:03:05.000That's awesome. You will consult Bill Richmond?
00:03:07.000Yep. Sorry, he doesn't work with Krauts.
00:03:08.000All right, you must go. So, question of the day.
00:03:11.000We're going, everyone's talking about FISA, everyone's talking about the budget that was, okay, we'll talk about that, but we mainly want to talk about Prime Minister Trudeau, and obviously he did the people kind comment recently, so we went back to the archives and just looked at the worst, most cringeworthy, so we have a top five on Trudeau, but let me ask you this.
00:03:29.000Hint, it was hard to choose. Yes, it was very, very difficult.
00:03:32.000I had to cool it down. There's no winner, really.
00:03:35.000There's no top five. It's a low light.
00:03:37.000Less of a high light. This is a question.
00:03:39.000Remove your political goggles for a second.
00:03:41.000Who do you genuinely think is more mockable?
00:03:44.000I think even if you're North Korean, and they ask Kim Jong-un, you have to be like...
00:04:28.000Are you trying to get a part in Zoolander?
00:04:29.000They allowed you to be a father, much less?
00:04:31.000All right, we have to get to news of the day. Nancy Pelosi, of course you know this.
00:04:34.000We had to talk about an eight-hour marathon speech that she had set the record for longest continuous speech, at least since 1909.
00:04:41.000Oh, boy. Of course, many suspected it was just a complex marketing scheme by Snickers as evidenced when Pelosi concluded her speech with a chocolate bar and turned into being a not- Jeez.
00:05:09.000Boom. San Diego has adopted now new safeguards against scooping homeless people into city garbage trucks.
00:05:18.000I swear to you, San Diego officials have completed an investigation following some near deaths with homeless people last year and have issued new rules to make sure it doesn't happen.
00:05:27.000Again. But San Diego, a lot of people think San Francisco.
00:05:30.000San Diego, obviously a lot of homeless people.
00:06:21.000I have a contract, man. Well, you know, he does.
00:06:23.000Sorry. In Ithaca High School, just canceled their Hunchback of Notre Dame musical.
00:06:30.000After a white student landed a lead role.
00:06:32.000At best, this is cultural appropriation, the student group wrote, alleging racial bias within the performing arts program at IHS and, quote, at worst, it is whitewashing.
00:06:42.000A racist casting practice which has its roots in minstrelsy.
00:08:11.000So fentanyl, which the well-noted opioid painkiller, was accidentally placed into a naloxone kit, which is, for those who don't know, it's kind of like methadone is to heroin.
00:08:19.000It's a kit designed to wean people off of painkiller addiction.
00:08:22.000Of course, the pharmacist in question was fired, with the supervisor citing the reason being that he, like, did the only thing you're not supposed to do with an opioid addiction kit.
00:08:33.000It's the first rule of painkiller club.
00:09:03.000Who has that funny bit about a runner's side that's just as good as heroin?
00:09:06.000And the guy's like, have you ever tried heroin?
00:09:08.000It was Artie Lang! Have you ever tried heroin?
00:09:10.000It's not even close. Speaking of missing the mark, Senator Angus King of Maine has finally accomplished now what he set out to do in getting...
00:11:47.000With the threat of a government shutdown looming over the United States of America, many citizens find themselves uncertain as to the outcome and unpredictable nature of their immediate future.
00:12:21.000you You don't know who you hurt. Sometimes it's those you love the most.
00:12:26.000We fought for the wrong side. There are real victims.
00:12:29.000Hey, speaking of victims, so as Sven Computer, you know, I got flack for talking on Joe Rogan about the inordinately high taxes in Germany for young men, and you were getting flack for it.
00:13:15.000The average tax burden for a single person is 49.4%.
00:13:18.000Now, only 15.9% beep-beep of that is your actual income tax.
00:13:22.000Right. So, obviously, a lot of other taxes, like your VAT, beep-beep, your...
00:13:30.000Your mandatory health care taxes, which we don't call taxes.
00:13:32.000Yeah, for your health care, for your social security, all that good stuff.
00:13:34.000Okay, you're nervous. Okay, you don't have to lie about it. I just lost my turn of thought.
00:13:37.000Yeah. You know what, that's the CPU, really.
00:13:40.000Okay, so there you go. Top tax bracket, I think, is 42%.
00:13:43.000Yeah, the tax record is 42%, which starts at $65,000 already, beep, beep, which, you know, it's not crazy money, exactly, beep.
00:13:50.000Yeah. And added to that, of course, is, again, all your medical stuff, your health care, your social security, your VAT. So it comes out as something pretty crazy.
00:14:45.000Did you think about Canadian politics at all before Trudeau?
00:14:47.000Because he's kind of a celebrity. I didn't know.
00:14:49.000I don't think I even knew who the Prime Minister of Canada was before.
00:14:52.000Maybe I wasn't paying attention, but I feel like he has been shoved in the limelight because of the suave little...
00:14:57.000Were you familiar with Stephen Harper or not so much?
00:14:59.000Not at all. He was like our Ronald Reagan.
00:15:01.000And that's what I was talking about with Joe Rogan about it, going like, listen, it's okay to mock him, but the fact is all these comedians mocked Stephen Harper because he was the Christian conservative.
00:16:12.000The only thing more cringy itself is the Canadians just fawning over it.
00:16:17.000They just love him. I remember seeing Jay Baruchel in an interview recently, and he's like, oh, you know, we like our prime minister, obviously, with Trump.
00:16:24.000And now, you know, we tease him a bit.
00:16:26.000And he's like, really? How do you do that? You know, he's very good looking.
00:16:29.000I'm like, no, that's not how you tease him.
00:17:05.000It's met with cheers. Just as surely if he'd have said, because they're the most qualified people for the job, and that's the only reason, he would have been met with...
00:19:12.000Now, when Andrew Breitbart posted this article, he posted it.
00:19:15.000And he said, just so you know, at minute 20, her humanity eventually gets the better of her.
00:19:20.000And she does go on to say that she then realized it wasn't about race and she helped white and black farmers alike.
00:19:25.000So this was posted the original time Andrew Breitbart posted the video.
00:19:29.000He said, but the reaction from the NAACP at that snapshot in time was to clap.
00:19:34.000And a cheer simply at her saying, I didn't help the white person.
00:19:37.000And then, of course, an editor at Bill O'Reilly took it out of context, thought we can make this lie sexier than the truth, and Shirley Sherrod got fired, and they said Andrew Breitbart edited that context when he never did.
00:22:30.000It used to be one for you. Now I just don't like it.
00:22:32.000And number one, here's why, this is why I don't think it was a joke.
00:22:35.000This is why I think, when people go back and forth, we talked about this at Virginia Tech, when people go back and forth and say, this was a joke, it wasn't a joke, take it in context.
00:22:42.000Then go beyond the context of just a clip.
00:22:44.000Kind of like we did this rebuttal with Vox earlier this week.
00:22:46.000Go beyond the context of the clip and then include the context of character, lifestyle.
00:22:51.000With Trudeau, there is so much evidence.
00:22:55.000We weren't able to show you all of it.
00:22:57.000But I think this one is possibly the most damning.
00:22:59.000Our number one worst Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada for real moment.
00:25:15.000Divorce, child custody, you probably know what I'm talking about.
00:25:19.000But if you don't, think O.J. Simpson and Nicole Brown's first fight, but with less blood and no gloves.
00:25:25.000Next is Probate Court, where you resolve post-death issues like wills and estates and inheritances.
00:25:30.000It's the place Anna Nicole Smith hung out on weekends hoping for a pot of gold.
00:25:35.000General Jurisdictional Court is a potpourri of judicial forums.
00:25:38.000You get a little civil, a little criminal, a little family, a little probate.
00:25:41.000A lot of small-time, small county courts are like that.
00:25:44.000Then you go to the next level, the Court of Appeals, where someone smarter is going to be checking your work.
00:25:49.000And finally, the Supreme Court at the top dog in most states and the United States is I hope this clarifies the issue for you, though considering this is the internet, you probably forgot half of what I said and will send me a letter anyways asking the same question in a week.
00:27:11.000So this is a fireplace behind you, but it's something like from a Bugs Bunny cartoon where this would be if he listened to the bad devil on his shoulder and then he'd end up there.
00:27:22.000Yeah, well, the theme we were going for was kind of like edgy, looks like a place you'd want to drink scotch.
00:27:29.000I don't drink scotch, but when people look at my set, I want them to think, oh yeah, what a classy place.
00:28:02.000I'm at the stage now where I have so many different segments that I want to do that my producer was actually kind of like, okay, we're kind of at the point now where every different story is its own segment, so maybe we just try to keep to the eight we have so far because it's only a 20-minute show.
00:28:15.000But it's a lot of fun, and I like the new format.
00:28:18.000I'm really excited. Really liking all of the fancy equipment and stuff.
00:28:22.000It's so much of a step up from what I'm used to.
00:28:26.000I'm in the honeymoon phase at the moment.
00:28:28.000It's more work, but I think it's worth it.
00:28:30.000Is there any threat of a Roman millennial shutdown?
00:28:33.000Looks like we've probably avoided that here, but of course everyone was afraid the sky is falling, the government shutdown.
00:28:39.000Am I the only one who, when this happens every year, I couldn't care less?
00:28:44.000Well, I know, you know, just this past time that everyone was freaking out, and I was kind of thinking, like, do you guys not remember that this has actually happened before in recent history?
00:28:53.000I think in 2013, I was doing my internship in D.C. at the time, and it's like, I mean, yes, it's awful, but I think a lot of people don't understand what government shutdown actually entails.
00:29:04.000It's not really even shutdown. It's more like government light for a couple days.
00:29:31.000I'm pretty sure they... Well, I think...
00:29:33.000Obviously, I don't want to minimize the effect this has to people like military members, who I know it does really affect their ability to do things like claim benefits and stuff like that.
00:29:42.000I think maybe even their pay. So I don't want to minimize it too much.
00:29:46.000But I think last time, I know all of the staffers that I was working with, Their pay wasn't coming in, so it sucked for them, especially since, you know, they're living in D.C., so pretty much living paycheck to paycheck.
00:29:56.000I know last time they made a big show shutting down national parks and even outdoor monuments that, you know, like it actually required them to spend more money closing them off and make sure they're being watched rather than just let people walk through them.
00:30:08.000Black Lives Matter must feel very conflicted.
00:30:10.000They're like, I hate the government shutdown, but George Washington was also a racist, so I'm just going to burn a Walgreens.
00:30:59.000I remember that. It's just basically, whenever these budget talks come up, whoever is the party not in charge, they take the moral high ground and go, how could you do this?
00:32:45.000It went from 20 degrees Celsius in our house to like 10, and it was kept dropping, but they couldn't actually come fill the tank because, oh, we'd also had a lot of snow.
00:33:35.000Oh, that must be hard to choose. Yeah, it is hard to pick one.
00:33:37.000So tell us about this. You were, you're talking about this on your show, 120 decibels.
00:33:41.000I think I have that. Do I have that right?
00:33:43.000At Sven Computer? Sven's just not a minute.
00:33:45.000I think so. That's good enough for me.
00:33:48.000He's a big picture guy. Yes, he's a big picture guy.
00:33:51.000Tell us a little bit about it for people who don't know and you've been kind of following the story.
00:33:55.000Right. So 120 decibels is this movement that started with German women to try and bring attention to the waves of sexual assaults that have been happening in Germany because of the whole migrant crisis thing.
00:34:06.000And, you know, people in the alternative media, you know, they've been talking about this for a long time, trying to bring attention to this issue, the fact that these countries, which have previously some of the lowest rate statistics in the world, are actually going up.
00:34:19.000Dramatically, right? And it's funny because usually rape culture, women being sexually assaulted, that's something that progressives love to talk about, right?
00:34:29.000But because of the people who are actually doing it, these migrants, it really doesn't get any attention.
00:34:34.000And there have actually been instances where we know that the police have tried to cover it up because they didn't want to draw attention to this problem for fear of appearing intolerant.
00:34:43.000And for me, this isn't about race, right?
00:34:45.000I couldn't care less. That's going to be a follow-up question because I know some people said some of these statistics come from sort of the identitarian right who slant them sometimes.
00:34:54.000So I know that you're probably aware of that.
00:34:56.000That would be one of the criticisms they lob.
00:34:58.000Right, yeah. And I know anytime something like the migrant crisis comes up in Europe, that's always the people who are most vocal about it right now, frankly, are the alt-right and the identitarians.
00:35:11.000I'm not identitarian. But at the same time, we can't deny that this problem exists.
00:35:15.000And just because people I don't like are also talking about it, I don't want to, you know, ignore it and say, no, it's not a big deal, right?
00:35:21.000Because, you know, I think people can both be wrong on this subject.
00:35:24.000You know, the progressives who want these open borders and to ignore this problem, they're wrong.
00:35:28.000And the people who look at these problems and say, ah, ethno-state is the answer, that's also not the direction that I want to go in.
00:35:33.000I just want to, you know, be able to talk about these issues and the fact that You know, a lot of these people coming in are not vetted.
00:35:42.000They have probably criminal histories in their own companies, but we just don't know about it because it's just kind of this open free-for-all right now.
00:35:48.000And even people who are being caught, they're not being sent back, and it's because of political correctness.
00:35:56.000Let's be real here. That's a very low bar with a lot of these countries that they're coming from.
00:36:00.000If there is a criminal record, you done some stuff because it doesn't make the list.
00:36:06.000And by the way, if you remove the identitarian idea of it or the sort of racial politics from it, This happened in Detroit, too, where murder rates increased.
00:36:15.000They actually fluffed up the population number in Detroit.
00:36:19.000And because so many murders would go unsolved, they found a way to tweak the numbers.
00:36:23.000And if you search it right now, I don't remember exactly what they did.
00:36:26.000I think we did a piece on it a while back.
00:36:27.000But people said, well, how all of a sudden did the murder rate go like this and then drop?
00:36:31.000And they used different measurements, right?
00:36:33.000They used a different barometer, kind of like job participation rate.
00:36:36.000All of a sudden, nobody was including that when we were talking about unemployment.
00:36:39.000So it happens sometimes when people just want to cover their ass.
00:36:43.000who could be identitarians themselves, but they're going, gosh, it doesn't look like
00:37:19.000And I think the issue for me is that I, you know, I really feel for these women because they're in countries where, you know, you can't just have like, oh, you know, Castle lost to Underground, lost Second Amendment, right?
00:37:29.000I mean, it doesn't work like that over there.
00:37:30.000And I think the reason why I'm so interested in it, because I look at what's happening in Canada, We're kind of, I would say, in the position of Sweden maybe 15 years earlier.
00:37:40.000And I think with people like Justin Trudeau in power, there's the actual legitimate possibility of us becoming Sweden part two in Canada.
00:37:46.000So I want to talk about these issues so people can understand that it's great to virtue signal how wrong it is to not take in refugees by the tens of thousands, if not more.
00:38:01.000There are actual legitimate security concerns to think about here.
00:38:04.000And it's not just terrorist attacks, which are obviously awful, but there's much less serious, I guess, also crimes that happen on an individual level.
00:38:16.000That happens. They should all be getting an F when it comes to the sanitary department.
00:38:21.000Do you know, I remember in California, I was eating in a breakfast place one time for years when I lived in L.A., and it turned out I had a B from whatever that rating in California.
00:38:28.000And I thought, well, it's A, B, C. And my friend said, no, no, no, no.
00:38:31.000B is like, next stop, they're serving pigeon from the rooftop.
00:40:11.000Keep clinking. Are you not a big fool?
00:40:15.000Shut down time With no federal government Who will tap our phones Shut down time One last call to build the wall And send all the illegals home With no federal government Who tears down the monuments Will TSA still fondle my balls?
00:40:49.000No more fake entitlements Feel free to keep your armaments They can't hurt us anymore I know who loves to bitch and moan I know who wants to raid my home I know who wants to block my kids' hormones and launch some drones Shut down time Who will sell uranium to Putin and some more to Iran?
00:42:05.000So they have low tea and they cannot fight.
00:42:09.000Fight. I know who wants to raid my home.
00:42:17.000I know who has closets full of bones I know who loves to tap our phones and block our kids' hormones Closing time Every great depression comes from governments that overspend Don't threaten us with a good time, federal government. See you later.
00:43:31.000Typically a binding trial not in a courtroom but in front of an arbitrator who is often times an old lawyer or former judge there to give you s*** the whole time.
00:43:41.000Non-binding formalized negotiations where a mediator beats up both sides to make them come to a resolution that neither of them is happy with.
00:43:49.000Now as a bonus term, we have another shin, deposition.
00:43:52.000It's a sworn question and answer session, often videotaped, where a witness or party gets asked questions.
00:43:58.000Nothing is decided here, and there is no referee.
00:44:01.000So don't be that dumbass who says, oh man, that guy got sued and lost in court, when simply referring to a deposition.
00:44:08.000It makes you sound like an idiot, because you are one.
00:44:11.000I'm half-Asian lawyer Bill Richman for Louder with Crowder.
00:44:14.000Cheers. This has been Barely Legal with Bill Richmond.
00:45:00.000Well, you know... Every now and then I get, like, you know, guests say, hey, we want to talk about something, and it gets sent to me before the show, and I go, oh, okay, I can usually talk about the news, right?
00:45:09.000But every now and then I say we really want to talk about something.
00:45:11.000So I do have from you something about Richard Pryor.
00:46:27.000And that's kind of something that we've talked about before, but with the hashtag MeToo movement, like when you have these outlandish claims, it's hard to sometimes believe it.
00:46:35.000You wonder what the motivation is because everyone's got an angle today, kids.
00:46:45.000I saw this, it was kind of like a documentary-style news kind of thing that was talking to Richard Pryor, and it was talking to that same widow, and she was saying it right in his face.
00:46:55.000You remember how you used to punch me in the face?
00:46:56.000And Richard's like, no, I don't remember that.
00:47:00.000Hey, you remember that one, it was a roast.
00:51:27.000Because, you know, you won your Coon of the Year Award before from people who weren't black, and now you've talked about how you like Ben Shapiro.
00:51:35.000Because I don't want to say you guys are conservative, but you're certainly more out of the closet now as politically incorrect and not catering to the left.
00:51:42.000Have you seen more backlash or have you seen more positive support?
00:52:50.000Yeah, leave it alone. It is crazy, because if you think about it, if there were a white woman saying, like, I was so disappointed because I saw, I looked and I saw white women with Negroes.
00:53:01.000Like, if some white woman sent that in, they would be crucified.
00:53:04.000It would be Joan of Arc, just burnt alive.
00:53:09.000But it does seem, I mean, black women are just totally fine.
00:54:16.000Cartoon. Have you received mostly backlash?
00:54:19.000Or do you feel like it's been kind of liberating and your fan base has supported you?
00:54:24.000Because it's not like you guys have changed.
00:54:26.000I just think maybe some people didn't necessarily know what they were getting.
00:54:29.000If you look at what you guys have talked about for a long time, entrepreneurs in the military, and very politically incorrect, I just wonder if maybe it didn't compute.
00:55:30.000Hodgetwinstour.com. People should go and support them.
00:55:33.000Because, you know, listen, their bitches need to breathe, too.
00:55:37.000Bitches need to breathe, bitches need to eat.
00:55:38.000Often, we've had people come in and do...
00:55:43.000We've had people come in and do cameos, and sometimes it's been pretty rough where it's like, okay, you've got to stick to the script.
00:55:49.000This was the first ad lib in a YouTube carol that came from the Hodge twins, and it was Bitch Can't Breathe.
00:55:54.000We looked at each other, not Jared and I, and said, okay, we can work on this.
00:55:57.000Green light. Green light. Let's let them run with it for a little bit, and it was great.
00:56:01.000Really good stuff, really fun stuff, and you know what?
00:56:03.000Here's the kind of thing. I know a lot of people today are, all it is is the FISA and obviously the budget, so it's boring.
00:56:09.000I don't want to talk about it anymore. It's a really good feeling when you see someone, like you said, in tears laughing.
00:56:13.000It really is something that's a universal language.
00:56:16.000And unfortunately, the left has co-opted it and ruined it and tried to tell us what's funny, but just going out and getting people laughing, that's a service.
00:56:24.000Yeah. Especially when it's old white ladies saying, bitch can't breathe.
00:56:28.000Alright, this is hodgetwinstour.com, at Hodge Twins.
01:00:28.000It's not a lecture. We want it to be the party on campus.
01:00:31.000What I could see compared to when I was performing in comedy clubs as a young man for drunks who had no idea who I was, you had to make sure you were funny and earn their laughs.
01:00:40.000I'm pretty sure this show still performs for a few drunks.
01:00:42.000Yeah, I'm pretty sure there are quite a few drunks.
01:00:43.000I'm pretty sure they throw stuff to it at their computer.
01:00:49.000No! By the quick plug, if you want to go back and watch the Virginia Tech show, it is on Siri TV. It is on Siri TV for Muckla members.
01:00:56.000Future shows will be streamed to YouTube live on campus, just so you know.
01:01:01.000So anything could happen. But we came out and the audience was just ready and they were supportive and it was a huge cheer.
01:01:07.000I've never once in my life had a standing O just for walking out.
01:01:11.000Um... And I could see how people, we've seen so many people, including some conservatives, how they've fallen.
01:01:17.000And you see that with Justin Trudeau, and you see it with President Trump.
01:01:20.000It felt really good to see that our monologue jokes, all these bits, just did really, really well live.
01:01:24.000You're like, okay, we get a laugh in the room of ten people, whoever in our pitch room, but it was good to see a whole audience of people on board and not offended.
01:01:31.000Including the cancer joke, by the way.
01:01:33.000It's true. They were on board with it. There were some rough ones.
01:01:44.000That's comedy gold. I don't think you understand comedy, Sven Computer.
01:01:47.000But I realize that this is something that could really go to people's head.
01:01:51.000Because you have people who, they'll perform, they get a thunderous applause, or a president, or a prime minister.
01:01:56.000How do you get so far along the trail?
01:01:58.000A good example is, how does he say two-spirited and not realize it?
01:02:01.000Because he's surrounded by people who, his baseline was standing O, and then he said LGBTQAAI, and it Just goes from there, and then pee, and then he doesn't even look back to see if the people are clapping anymore.
01:02:13.000She goes, too spirited, and assumes that he has the audience in his pocket, and they're going to want to go along with him.
01:02:18.000Same thing with President Donald Trump.
01:02:20.000Even a lot of conservatives are going, do we really want to spend this money on a military parade?
01:02:23.000If you are surrounded by yes-men, we've talked about how that's a problem, but there are also two mentalities to approaching not only a live performance, but to approaching life.
01:02:32.000And we talked about this. Remember after the show, I said, everyone was on a high.
01:02:35.000I said, yeah, but listen, the next audience hasn't seen that.
01:04:11.000They're going to love me. But maybe something went wrong.
01:04:13.000Maybe, for some reason, they weren't let in early.
01:04:15.000Maybe they were waiting there out in the freezing cold and rain for two hours, and now they come in five minutes before the show.
01:04:20.000And you're expecting applause and love, and instead they're pissed and they're ready to go home.
01:04:24.000How do you think you're going to do better?
01:04:26.000If you come out and you go, okay, these people, we haven't performed for them yet, we've got to earn it, or if you go out and you're expecting the applause and it's not there.
01:04:34.000Because here's the deal. Every single person who's had any success in their life, and every single person watching this will experience success to some degree, whether it's personally, financially, any person here will experience success at some point.
01:04:45.000And every single person, that same person, if you're listening right now,
01:05:57.000Assume you're going to win, assume you're getting credit for what you did before, or assume that nothing is given to you.
01:06:03.000And every single time you have to earn that audience, you have to earn that laugh, you have to earn that dollar, you have to earn that trust, you have to earn that respect.
01:06:09.000Here's the deal. There are two ways to approach life.
01:06:12.000One of them guarantees you that no matter what happens, it's at least a pleasant surprise.
01:06:18.000And the other guarantees monumental, soul-crushing defeat.
