00:00:00.000 Louder With Crowder Studios, protected exclusively by Walther and Hopper.

00:00:06.000 And so it will be remembered on August 15th, 2019, by issue of legal decree, half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond was to be a permanent fixture and third chair on Louder With Crowder.

00:00:57.000 My club will never be dead and gone.

00:01:02.000 If you cross, then you know it's on.

00:02:25.000 🎵 Outro 🎵 You're a strange animal

00:02:41.000 That's what I know I know, I know

00:02:46.000 You're a strange animal I come to follow

00:02:51.000 I'm your spirit you

00:02:57.000 That's called clearing up my bad habit before we go on air.

00:03:00.000 Thank you so much for being here.

00:03:01.000 We have Razor Fist on the show today.

00:03:03.000 We're going to be talking about the economy.

00:03:05.000 Question of the day before we move on.

00:03:06.000 Do you think we're facing a recession?

00:03:08.000 How much do you trust the speculators, the predictors, the shamans, the oracles on Wall Street?

00:03:16.000 And who do you think would win in a fight between Chris Cuomo and Brian Stelter out of curiosity?

00:03:20.000 Really, that's code language.

00:03:22.000 That's a dog whistle.

00:03:25.000 Who's a bigger piece of crap?

00:03:26.000 A half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richman, is in the studio with me.

00:03:29.000 Hi, everybody.

00:03:29.000 How are you, sir?

00:03:30.000 Wonderful.

00:03:31.000 Good to be here.

00:03:31.000 You look more tan.

00:03:32.000 You said you've been taking tennis lessons.

00:03:33.000 I have, I have.

00:03:34.000 I just get yelled at every day by a Russian instructor.

00:03:36.000 Well that makes sense because they're quite a bit more coordinated than your folks and

00:03:39.000 we have, speaking of which, Quarterback Garrett.

00:03:41.000 What?

00:03:42.000 I don't know what that means.

00:03:44.000 And G. Morgan Jr.

00:03:45.000 still on the pain pills?

00:03:45.000 Yeah.

00:03:46.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:03:46.000 Still working.

00:03:47.000 Let's combine that with the wine of the day.

00:03:48.000 Wine of the day is eternally silenced in honor of you.

00:03:51.000 Would you?

00:03:52.000 Yes.

00:03:54.000 No, this is for silencing you.

00:03:55.000 So we are going to be talking about Chris Cuomo.

00:03:57.000 Obviously, it's been a slow news week, and now they're projecting another recession.

00:04:01.000 Whatever.

00:04:02.000 I don't really buy it.

00:04:03.000 But before we get to that, leading the news, President Donald Trump.

00:04:07.000 This was my favorite story of the week.

00:04:08.000 It's fun.

00:04:08.000 President Donald Trump is said to have a strange pen pal diplomacy with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

00:04:13.000 This comes from Axios.

00:04:15.000 Trump has sent highly unusual, sharpie-written notes to the Canadian Prime Minister at least twice,

00:04:20.000 and when those didn't get Prime Minister Trudeau's attention,

00:04:23.000 apparently our president got a little more creative.

00:04:25.000 Oh, wow.

00:04:26.000 Okay, hey, Trudeau.

00:04:43.000 Trudy.

00:04:44.000 Okay, hey, I haven't been liking my doodles.

00:04:46.000 And I understand, frankly, you deserve something more special.

00:04:49.000 Okay, I'm gonna give you something more special with a full painting, okay?

00:04:52.000 Let's do a little Trudy.

00:04:56.000 Maybe a little forest, okay?

00:04:59.000 And then right here, I think I'm gonna add a nice little d***.

00:05:03.000 You know what, I don't think that's enough.

00:05:04.000 I think Let's do another d**k. Just another d**k. And a d**k. And a d**k here.

00:05:11.000 And with, listen, when you're drawing your d**ks, okay, when I add the ball hairs, you could, it's easy, you could do them, you could do them straight, I could do them straight, you could do them curly, I do them curly.

00:05:22.000 You know what though?

00:05:22.000 I look at this, you still, you still look lonely, okay?

00:05:25.000 Frankly, you could use a friend, so I'm gonna add a nice little Mohammed.

00:05:31.000 At the bottom right there, nice little Muhammad.

00:05:34.000 Look at that, we have Muhammad, the Prime Minister of Canada, at a forest full of friendly d**ks.

00:05:40.000 Just like you like it, okay?

00:05:41.000 Until next time, keep making America great again.

00:05:44.000 Happy payday, God bless.

00:05:46.000 We figured we just wanted to clear the palate right on the outset.

00:06:02.000 I don't want to be near that forest.

00:06:03.000 Hold on.

00:06:05.000 I don't hear any alarm bells.

00:06:06.000 I think we're fine at least for the remainder of this taping.

00:06:10.000 And obviously we're still watching the Jeffrey Epstein quote suicide.

00:06:14.000 We've been following this.

00:06:16.000 I don't really know what there is to follow.

00:06:17.000 There's not that much to follow.

00:06:18.000 A new report though claims that the two guards who were supposed to be watching Epstein fell asleep And then falsified the record.

00:06:25.000 This comes from the New York Times, so it's real news.

00:06:27.000 The guards were supposed to check in on him every 30 minutes, but instead they took a nap for three hours.

00:06:31.000 Highest profile prisoner.

00:06:32.000 Jealous.

00:06:32.000 Yes.

00:06:33.000 They took a nap for three hours.

00:06:34.000 America's most valuable prisoner was free to kill himself because two federal employees didn't read the tortoise and the hare.

00:06:43.000 Come on, pace yourself.

00:06:46.000 Did you ever read Aesop's Fable?

00:06:47.000 I remember as a kid being taught, my teacher was like, do you remember the lesson of that story?

00:06:51.000 The moral?

00:06:52.000 The word hair doesn't have an eye in it.

00:06:54.000 That's true.

00:06:55.000 That's also true.

00:06:57.000 Slow and steady wins the race.

00:06:59.000 I remember as a kid thinking that can't be true.

00:07:01.000 No, the real moral of the story is in the middle of a heated race, don't take a nap!

00:07:06.000 It's very easy.

00:07:07.000 Who made this a brilliant part of the Hare's running strategy?

00:07:12.000 Nobody gets cocky enough to take a nap.

00:07:13.000 That ESPN back then, interviewing him, like, well, I don't know, what do you think went wrong, Mr. Hare?

00:07:16.000 I don't know, the tortoise was just a better guy today.

00:07:18.000 Better man, hats off to him.

00:07:19.000 But looking back around that second term, I could have done without the four hours of REM sleep.

00:07:24.000 Exactly.

00:07:25.000 And look, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but we took a nap.

00:07:29.000 That sounds way... I mean, seriously, there's just too much here.

00:07:33.000 I know.

00:07:33.000 I mean, it almost sounds too dumb to be... I know.

00:07:35.000 Not true.

00:07:36.000 It's like a bad B-movie where it's like, oh, we fell asleep for three hours.

00:07:40.000 No.

00:07:40.000 Come on.

00:07:41.000 That and the lady who lived in the shoe was just a slut.

00:07:44.000 She was a total and complete slut.

00:07:46.000 Once was a lady who lived in a shoe.

00:07:47.000 How do you have so many kids that you don't know what to do?

00:07:51.000 Her husband died.

00:07:52.000 Here's a hint!

00:07:53.000 Use a rubber!

00:07:54.000 That's a jumping off point, shoe lady.

00:07:57.000 She just regretted them after they were born.

00:07:59.000 That's the progressive version.

00:08:01.000 She was Asian.

00:08:01.000 There once was a lady who lived in a shoe who lived with eternal regret because of her myriad abortions.

00:08:05.000 The story broke today.

00:08:07.000 This next story.

00:08:08.000 Different children's story.

00:08:09.000 Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and of course Rashida Tlaib who has blocked me.

00:08:13.000 Which I think is actually illegal.

00:08:15.000 Half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond.

00:08:16.000 Yeah, there's actually some problems with that.

00:08:18.000 When you're a public official.

00:08:21.000 Oh really?

00:08:21.000 Yeah.

00:08:22.000 Nice.

00:08:22.000 You can't do it.

00:08:23.000 And I don't even think I've ever tweeted her.

00:08:25.000 So she must have gone out of her way to block me.

00:08:27.000 She sought you out.

00:08:28.000 She knows who you are.

00:08:29.000 Well, she is from Dearborn.

00:08:31.000 This comes from Netanyahu who stated that Israel's law prohibits the entry of people who call and operate to boycott Israel, of which both women actively promote.

00:08:40.000 So really, this shouldn't be shocking to anybody.

00:08:42.000 Hello Stephen, are you in there?

00:08:45.000 I already told you, Omar, you can't come in the studio.

00:08:47.000 Why not?

00:08:48.000 Because you're just going to get on the show and tell people not to watch the show.

00:08:53.000 Yeah, and you support Hezbollah.

00:08:55.000 Hezbollah?

00:08:56.000 All right, you're not allowed in here, Omar.

00:08:57.000 Nope.

00:08:58.000 And by the way, if I'm not mistaken, their itinerary, I think, read Palestine.

00:09:03.000 Oh, really?

00:09:03.000 From Omar.

00:09:04.000 It didn't even mention Israel.

00:09:06.000 So why don't you just lobby Palestine to give you your papers?

00:09:11.000 Yeah, no problem.

00:09:12.000 They'll let you in.

00:09:12.000 And the entire article basically was blaming Trump for smearing them with their tweets.

00:09:16.000 And by the way, it mentioned nothing that these two said about their anti-Israel rhetoric and anti-Jewish rhetoric at all.

00:09:22.000 Said nothing about that.

00:09:23.000 Just that they're congresswomen that deserve entry.

00:09:25.000 I've looked everywhere.

00:09:26.000 I mean, on CNN, on HuffPo, on WaPo.

00:09:29.000 I haven't seen a single anti-Israel statement by either of them.

00:09:33.000 For that, you would have to go to her Twitter, but blocked!

00:09:36.000 You'd have to read all the other news out there.

00:09:38.000 Did you, uh, did you block Hezbollah?

00:09:40.000 Hezbollah!

00:09:42.000 They're so friendly.

00:09:43.000 Best friends?

00:09:43.000 No.

00:09:44.000 Speaking of the squad, by the way, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has, uh, this week she picked a fight with Barstool Sports.

00:09:50.000 This was all over.

00:09:50.000 The congresswoman responded to anti-union tweets from Barstool's fan, this comes from Fox News, calling them illegal and directing Barstool employees to the AFL-CIO, with the CEO of Barstool Sports responding with, quote, show us your tits.

00:10:04.000 Oh.

00:10:05.000 Wow.

00:10:05.000 Yeah.

00:10:05.000 We also have this photoshopped because Smooth Manny, who worked here, didn't... We wanted to put this up.

00:10:10.000 I don't know what this is exactly, but he follows barstool sports.

00:10:12.000 So for people listening terrestrially, maybe you can make sense of that.

00:10:16.000 It's gotta be some treasure map.

00:10:19.000 Was it National Treasure?

00:10:20.000 I know it.

00:10:21.000 Yes.

00:10:21.000 On the bottom of this big gulp is a coded language from Benjamin Franklin.

00:10:25.000 Who knew?

00:10:26.000 Amazing.

00:10:27.000 Behind my Monopoly piece.

00:10:28.000 Yes, exactly.

00:10:30.000 That's where Nicolas Cage will find his non-direct-to-DVD sales.

00:10:33.000 Is there still direct-to-DVD?

00:10:34.000 What is the equivalent to direct-to-DVD anymore?

00:10:37.000 Most Netflix movies?

00:10:39.000 AOC, by the way, didn't miss a beat.

00:10:41.000 She jumped in, made a fool of herself.

00:10:42.000 This guy's probably joking anyway.

00:10:44.000 A lot of times he pokes fun at serious stories in the news, and she jumps in like it's real.

00:10:48.000 Unsurprisingly, referring to his tweet as racist.

00:10:51.000 Oh, of course.

00:10:51.000 So in entertainment news, actor and singer Jared Leto, you know because you're into the comic books, took to Instagram this week to show off his six-pack abs.

00:11:03.000 You can check it out in the current issue of Gerald Morgan's Browser History.

00:11:07.000 That said something else earlier!

00:11:09.000 I said don't explain the jokes!

00:11:14.000 I didn't explain anything!

00:11:14.000 There was actually a website... It wasn't an explanation!

00:11:17.000 Come on, when you're in this, when you are in this studio, come on, you can confirm this half-Asian Bill.

00:11:21.000 What?

00:11:21.000 We have to fix your computer from seizing up from all the naked gay pictures on there.

00:11:25.000 That's not true at all.

00:11:26.000 Yeah it is, it's just dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun- I had a friend who was eight, maybe he was, I don't know if he was special, but he was deaf in high school, and there was a website, do you guys remember this website, it was like, it was, we're gonna have to bleep it, it was f***.com?

00:11:47.000 Why would I know that?

00:11:48.000 So, well the reason why was it was just a website that you would send to people, and it was just nothing but gay pop-ups, gay pop-ups.

00:11:55.000 And I remember saying this to my friend in high school, and I was on MSN.

00:11:59.000 Messenger.

00:12:00.000 We didn't use AOL.

00:12:00.000 Sorry.

00:12:01.000 I should have said MSN.

00:12:03.000 MSN sucks to begin with.

00:12:05.000 Laying the groundwork.

00:12:06.000 And I was talking with him, and I said, oh yeah, it's a place where you get video game cheats.

00:12:10.000 He's like, oh my god, that sounds so cool.

00:12:11.000 I said, yeah, here you go.

00:12:13.000 Here's the link.

00:12:14.000 I remember just sending that little blue highlight link.

00:12:19.000 And then, no response.

00:12:21.000 So it went on my merry way.

00:12:21.000 I thought, well, OK, I guess it didn't work.

00:12:23.000 20 minutes later, I get a window pop-up.

00:12:27.000 Oh, my god!

00:12:28.000 Oh, no!

00:12:28.000 Steven, you broke my computer!

00:12:30.000 You broke my computer!

00:12:32.000 My mom goes see!

00:12:33.000 And so what's so funny to me is that he was trying to swim through the sea of pop-ups to find my conversation window.

00:12:40.000 20 minutes.

00:12:42.000 Sheer panic.

00:12:43.000 It's a close, close, close, close.

00:12:45.000 I did that with somebody.

00:12:46.000 I sent them to Penn Island.

00:12:47.000 What's Penn Island?

00:12:48.000 Oh, I don't want to know.

00:12:49.000 Just think about it.

00:12:50.000 A similar thing?

00:12:51.000 Penn Island.

00:12:52.000 Penisland.

00:12:53.000 Oh, I thought you were talking about Jeff Epstein's island.

00:12:56.000 You made me explain the joke.

00:12:57.000 By the way, you might want to wipe yourself from his call logs.

00:13:00.000 No, no, he's on the flight logs.

00:13:02.000 He's on the flight manifests.

00:13:04.000 Sticking with entertainment, Leonardo DiCaprio, when asked about his favorite Mexican food, he responded that he is a, quote, a pupusa man.

00:13:12.000 The problem is that pupusas come from El Salvador.

00:13:14.000 Whoops.

00:13:15.000 So put that under affected elitist jackass DiCaprio that was so embarrassed by the blunder that he just had sex with a bunch of models.

00:13:22.000 So that's how he made up for it.

00:13:23.000 He's a great actor.

00:13:23.000 He gets a pass.

00:13:24.000 He's good.

00:13:25.000 Nah, he doesn't get a pass.

00:13:26.000 He's a great actor, of course.

00:13:27.000 Why not?

00:13:27.000 No.

00:13:28.000 Pupusas.

00:13:29.000 Pretty sure there's an underground sex ring and he's a part of it.

00:13:30.000 We've all made that mistake.

00:13:31.000 In England, the UK government, this was my favorite story of the week.

00:13:34.000 I'll explain why afterwards.

00:13:35.000 They introduced knife-free boxes.

00:13:38.000 A fried chicken aimed to reduce violent crime.

00:13:42.000 It's come from more than 321,000 boxes have been distributed to 210 restaurants in England with stories of people who have chosen, so on the box, to pursue positive activities instead of carrying a knife.

00:13:52.000 Of course there's been outrage on all sides with, you'll pry this from my cold dead fingers, response coming from this Rambo chicken.

00:13:59.000 He was not, none too happy.

00:14:02.000 What's so funny, this is a true story.

00:14:04.000 I was peeing myself laughing.

00:14:06.000 Because we've often said, like, what's next?

00:14:07.000 Knife control?

00:14:08.000 Don't be absurd.

00:14:09.000 And what made me laugh so hard was after I read this, I said, that's so absurd.

00:14:14.000 And then I saw the outrage on Twitter.

00:14:15.000 The outrage was of a man from the UK who saw it as racist.

00:14:20.000 Because he said, why are they seeking out?

00:14:22.000 You can go follow us on Twitter.

00:14:22.000 We wrote about it on the website.

00:14:23.000 No.

00:14:24.000 He was saying, why would you seek out fried chicken?

00:14:25.000 This is racial.

00:14:26.000 This is profiling discrimination.

00:14:28.000 So you are no longer allowed to have butter knives with your fried chicken.

00:14:33.000 And you have basically relinquished all freedoms.

00:14:35.000 Speech is long gone.

00:14:36.000 Firearm is long gone.

00:14:37.000 Now knives are on the docket.

00:14:39.000 And you're mad because you think it's a race thing.

00:14:42.000 Europe has fallen.

00:14:44.000 Good job, guys.

00:14:46.000 No one asked the most important question here.

00:14:48.000 Who's using a knife for fried chicken?

00:14:49.000 No, no, no.

00:14:50.000 The boxes don't have knives.

00:14:52.000 What it's talking about is stories that encourage people not to carry knives.

00:14:57.000 That's stupid.

00:14:57.000 No, it's both.

00:14:59.000 No, it's not.

00:14:59.000 It is both.

00:15:00.000 I read the frickin' article.

00:15:01.000 No, you didn't.

00:15:02.000 I did the research.

00:15:02.000 You were probably high!

00:15:04.000 You've been on Vicodin for a week and a half!

00:15:04.000 Have you done the research?

00:15:06.000 Don't make me stand on this chair!

00:15:08.000 Aggressive.

00:15:09.000 What I love, though, is in the stories they were saying, yeah, people have chosen to pursue boxing and music instead of carrying knives.

00:15:09.000 No, it's both!

00:15:16.000 How does that relate at all?

00:15:17.000 It's insane.

00:15:18.000 I don't even know boxing and music.

00:15:20.000 I don't know how boxing is on music where you can't sing Kung Fu Fighting unless you're Asian because you can go to prison.

00:15:23.000 You can still do those things while carrying a knife!

00:15:25.000 By the way, I am never without a knife.

00:15:28.000 These are stories from people who have decided to make more positive life decisions.

00:15:32.000 What could be more positive than being prepared?

00:15:34.000 Exactly.

00:15:35.000 They're saying don't be prepared at all.

00:15:37.000 That's another question.

00:15:37.000 What's in your everyday carry?

00:15:39.000 This is something that's pretty common.

00:15:40.000 For me, a knife is always in there.

00:15:41.000 Usually a Swiss Army knife, but people will say, like, well, we're not talking about Swiss Army knives here in the UK.

00:15:46.000 Well, hold on a second.

00:15:47.000 We didn't think you were going to get to knife control at all.

00:15:49.000 We said it as a joke.

00:15:50.000 Why would we trust you?

00:15:51.000 Everyone said it'll never happen.

00:15:52.000 They'll never want to take away all the knives.

00:15:54.000 Now we're supposed to believe that you stop with locking blades?

00:15:59.000 Ugh.

00:16:00.000 This is terrible.

00:16:01.000 I hate the UK.

00:16:01.000 The UK has fallen, too.

00:16:02.000 You can keep it.

00:16:04.000 That's why we left.

00:16:05.000 Finally, speaking of the UK, a British Member of Parliament called for an all-female emergency cabinet.

00:16:09.000 This comes from the BBC.

00:16:10.000 Caroline Lucas asked females from all parties to join her in stopping a no-deal Brexit, claiming that, quote, women tend to be less tribal.

00:16:19.000 Except when their cycles sink up, am I right?

00:16:22.000 Ouch.

00:16:24.000 Oh, no.

00:16:24.000 I've been reading Barstool Sports.

00:16:26.000 Yes.

00:16:27.000 Yes.

00:16:28.000 Very informative.

00:16:28.000 Too much.

00:16:29.000 Clearly.

00:16:30.000 There's a little permeation.

00:16:31.000 A little bit.

00:16:32.000 And actually, I believe the newly formed Shadow Cabinet is holding a press conference.

00:16:36.000 Oh.

00:16:36.000 As we speak.

00:16:37.000 speak.

00:16:48.000 By the way, I would much rather be in a fight with a man than a woman.

00:16:52.000 Yes!

00:16:53.000 They just try to maim each other.

00:16:54.000 Well, and you can't do anything in return.

00:16:56.000 Like, if you win, you lose.

00:16:57.000 No, I'm not talking about as a man, even as a woman.

00:16:59.000 Gerald's like, every time!

00:17:00.000 I never just, I can't!

00:17:02.000 Even if you win, you totally, you can't!

00:17:04.000 You just gotta take it!

00:17:06.000 You totally misread my statement there.

00:17:08.000 Sorry about that.

00:17:09.000 And revealed yourself to be a lady beater.

00:17:12.000 No!

00:17:12.000 I'm saying you can!

00:17:13.000 At least with a fight between two guys, you're gonna walk away.

00:17:17.000 Maybe you have a few bruises.

00:17:18.000 You know, maybe you have a broken femur if the guy's a Muay Thai fighter.

00:17:20.000 I have no idea.

00:17:21.000 But with women, you've basically been scalped.

00:17:24.000 Your weave is somewhere on the court.

00:17:26.000 How'd you let her close enough to scalp you, you pansy?

00:17:29.000 Come on!

00:17:29.000 Have you ever watched a female fight?

00:17:31.000 He's not understanding here!

00:17:32.000 I'm talking about hypothetical women versus women, and he's like, because in his world, he beats women.

00:17:38.000 He thinks it's okay.

00:17:39.000 No.

00:17:39.000 So last week's trivia winner was Rob.

00:17:42.000 You're just on the defense of this whole episode.

00:17:44.000 No!

00:17:44.000 Because he's on drugs.

00:17:46.000 No!

00:17:46.000 He's on drugs.

00:17:48.000 That's what a person on drugs would say.

00:17:49.000 I can see the twinkle in your eye from here.

00:17:51.000 No!

00:17:54.000 Wow.

00:17:55.000 He severely hurt his back and so he's been on, uh, was it Norco?

00:17:58.000 A little bit.

00:18:00.000 A lot of it.

00:18:01.000 This is not a joke.

00:18:02.000 Bit of a cocktail.

00:18:02.000 He reminds me of that lady who screams right after the, uh, you know, the inauguration and, you know, starts to clap with the glasses.

00:18:10.000 Yeah, it's true, bro.

00:18:13.000 Sorry.

00:18:16.000 This is your Colorado lawyer.

00:18:17.000 This is my lawyer.

00:18:19.000 Yeah, it's true, bruh.

00:18:20.000 Exactly, man.

00:18:21.000 It was.

00:18:21.000 Not guilty, bruh.

00:18:22.000 Yeah.

00:18:23.000 I've tried to say this in the video.

00:18:24.000 I have dead homes.

00:18:25.000 Oh, no, no, no.

00:18:26.000 Homes, that's...

00:18:27.000 Gosh, you really want to lose in front of a court.

00:18:28.000 Wow, wow.

00:18:29.000 That's...

00:18:30.000 Last week's trivia winner, by the way, was Rob Pierce.

00:18:31.000 Rob Pierce.

00:18:32.000 Rob Pierce.

00:18:33.000 Rob underscore zero Pierce, who correctly identified which celebrity appeared naked in a hot tub with this photo.

00:18:40.000 So, good for him.

00:18:41.000 He won.

00:18:42.000 Let's talk about this really quickly before we move on to Chris Cuomo.

00:18:46.000 Right now there's a recession panic.

00:18:48.000 This has been trending all week.

00:18:49.000 Have you guys been following this?

00:18:50.000 Yeah, it's about time in the news cycle for that to happen again.

00:18:53.000 Right.

00:18:54.000 And I don't even really want to get into it because we might do this on Monday where we get into the numbers a little bit more, do a deep dive as they call it.

00:19:00.000 Now that's the trend we've been calling the meat segments for a very long time.

00:19:02.000 But we'll do it Monday if the news cycle stays on it.

00:19:06.000 I think that it's been a very slow news week and so like, you know what, let's just predict another recession.

00:19:10.000 Well, going down 800 points is a big deal, but whatever.

00:19:12.000 Yeah, it's a big deal, but, you know, they've been predicting a recession.

00:19:15.000 Remember when they claimed that the market would crash?

00:19:18.000 They claimed as soon as Donald Trump became president, they claimed that it would crash.

00:19:21.000 And then remember they were going, oh, he thinks 4% growth.

00:19:23.000 Well?

00:19:27.000 What do we do now?

00:19:29.000 And this is all based on the inverted yield curve, by the way, for people who don't know.

00:19:33.000 And really all that means is that three months effectively a loan to the government, we're

00:19:36.000 using the term loan, people are going to talk about bonds versus bills and notes, is worth

00:19:40.000 more than a long-term one.

00:19:42.000 It's not an accurate predictor.

00:19:43.000 This is something, if you just need to know one thing, it's only happened about nine times, so it's a tiny sample size.

00:19:48.000 In many of those times it was a false alarm.

00:19:50.000 Other times the recession occurred 30 months later.

00:19:53.000 So did one cause the other.

00:19:54.000 And by the way, if these people could accurately predict when a recession was coming, they would be wealthy beyond all recognition because they could place that bet in the marketplace and it would be reflected on their balance sheets.

00:20:02.000 They never do!

00:20:03.000 No, and since Trump was sworn into office to today, even including those big dumps, it's like up 28%.

00:20:08.000 We're still up a lot.

00:20:11.000 We're just giving back some of the gains.

00:20:12.000 And you know what you'll never hear about is the guys who actually did put their money where their mouth is, actually did predict and then short the market, and then lost their shirts, and are now hiding in Saskatchewan.

00:20:23.000 I mean, that's just... Yeah, they lost billions of dollars.

00:20:25.000 You're never going to hear about those guys when they were wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

00:20:28.000 It was Epstein.

00:20:28.000 Well, how do you... The whole point, right, is they're supposed to be able to help you with their predictions.

00:20:33.000 That's really the reason for their job, these speculators.

00:20:35.000 But if we go, oh, hold on a second.

00:20:37.000 You're predicting a recession.

00:20:39.000 Yeah, there's a 20% chance, 30% chance there isn't one at all, and then it could be anywhere from...

00:20:45.000 Eight months to 30 plus?

00:20:48.000 What?

00:20:48.000 How do you plan for that?

00:20:49.000 Who would ever place that bet?

00:20:50.000 That's a small margin.

00:20:52.000 No.

00:20:52.000 And this is also something I think pretty important.

00:20:54.000 While the left tries to act like they're the party of you, you know, Bernie Sanders, and we hate Wall Street.

00:20:57.000 Remember, the Tea Party was a rant from Santelli who was talking about this from the trading room floor about bailing out banks and how we were against it.

00:21:04.000 And then Occupy Wall Street tried to ride in on these coattails, okay?

00:21:08.000 This tells you right now, they look at unemployment, record low.

00:21:11.000 Right?

00:21:11.000 They look at job participation, record high.

00:21:14.000 They look at unfilled jobs right now because there's a job surplus.

00:21:16.000 They ignore that and say, hold on a second, what are the speculators on Wall Street saying?

00:21:19.000 That's all that matters.

00:21:20.000 What they use as a litmus test for the economy is not how well most Americans are doing, but what are the predictions?

00:21:26.000 What is the markets?

00:21:27.000 What's Wall Street telling them?

00:21:29.000 And then they try and say that they're one of you.

00:21:31.000 So just remember that one.

00:21:31.000 So when they're living up on Wall Street, they're shutting Detroit down.

00:21:34.000 That song, and they play it at their stupid little rallies when Bernie shows up in Detroit.

00:21:39.000 Showing up in his crazy clown car for all I know.

00:21:43.000 Listen, they don't care.

00:21:44.000 They couldn't care less about it.

00:21:45.000 And by the way, they should shut both of those things down.

00:21:47.000 Don't bail out anyone on Wall Street.

00:21:49.000 Don't bail out GM.

00:21:50.000 How about that?

00:21:50.000 There you go.

00:21:51.000 Yeah, I'm absolutely with you.

00:21:52.000 And by the way, I don't know why we have this expectation that there's never going to be difficulty in the market.

00:21:56.000 One, it's an international market.

00:21:58.000 Things that happen overseas can affect our market.

00:22:00.000 There's nothing that we can do about it.

00:22:01.000 And two, you've been dealing with a country, China, who's been floating or not floating their currency they've

00:22:06.000 been manipulating it for years and it's been killing us and now they're pissed off

00:22:09.000 that we're going after them. There's going to be some bloodshed on this. Yeah. Just deal with it.

00:22:13.000 They're going to be better off long term.

00:22:15.000 Yes. Anyway. That being said Donald Trump was trying to take credit for the economy. I think

00:22:18.000 that there are. Yeah. It's pretty pretty tangible right.

00:22:21.000 You can look at a correlation where you go, okay, and I can say this as a business owner.

00:22:24.000 Hold on.

00:22:24.000 Businesses have more money because of the tax cuts.

00:22:27.000 We hire more people.

00:22:28.000 We're doing that.

00:22:28.000 You can still apply right now.

00:22:29.000 Lotofpedder.com.

00:22:30.000 We still have the golden ticket sweepstakes.

00:22:31.000 There's a pretty concrete causation there as opposed to correlation.

00:22:36.000 That's simple to follow, but then when you get into the Federal Reserve and you get into interest rates, predicting these things in the international markets, it's very unpredictable, it's very difficult, and so when people go out there and they try and blame it, or give all credit to one person, listen, I think Donald Trump is playing a dangerous game too, because if you take credit, then you have to take the blame.

00:22:53.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:22:54.000 But hopefully we see a little small dip, and then next year in the election cycle, pick up tick, he wins.

00:22:59.000 Right at the right moment.

00:23:00.000 Exactly.

00:23:00.000 That'd be great.

00:23:01.000 If he was brilliant in playing chess, you know, on ten levels, then fine.

00:23:04.000 I think there has to be a reality that when it comes to the desperation of the other side in the coming election, there will be a lot of things that will be done to try and destabilize the positive signs that have happened to the economy.

00:23:19.000 Because there really is no downside, right?

00:23:21.000 If you're desperate to win an election, you're desperate to kind of countervail the positivity, and specifically the economic positivity of Trump, you're going to do some crazy things.

00:23:30.000 And a lot of commentators out there And talking heads who actually have been in the places that matter in government related to this are saying wait till later in this fall, wait till early in the spring, and that's when you really start to see the games coming out.

00:23:43.000 By the way, Bill Maher said that he hoped we had a recession.

00:23:45.000 I don't know if people know that.

00:23:46.000 He said, oh, it'll be hard for some people, but it'll be better overall for the country.

00:23:49.000 Yeah, he does hate America.

00:23:50.000 I didn't want us to have a recession when Barack Obama was president.

00:23:53.000 And beyond politics, I don't want us to have any kind of recession.

00:23:56.000 I don't want to see people lose their jobs.

00:23:57.000 And that being said, I know people say, well, is that hypocritical because you said we shouldn't

00:24:00.000 bail out GM?

00:24:01.000 No, I don't want to people lose their jobs, honestly.

00:24:03.000 Honestly.

00:24:03.000 Put it that way.

00:24:04.000 If you're working for a company, you're costing the company $132,000 plus per year in salary and bennies and dental and LASIK eye surgery, and the company says, oh, you know what?

00:24:13.000 No one wants to buy our crappy cars.

00:24:15.000 You don't deserve that job.

00:24:16.000 That's how it works.

00:24:16.000 Sorry.

00:24:17.000 That being said, I don't want to see a recession.

00:24:18.000 OK.

00:24:19.000 All right.

00:24:19.000 Let's talk about something that's more cheery.

00:24:21.000 We'll get into it Monday.

00:24:23.000 I predict that by Monday, people are going to move on to something else.

00:24:25.000 Because when it's a slow news week, they go, recession!

00:24:27.000 Just like when Donald Trump was becoming president.

00:24:29.000 Oh, we're gonna see a crash.

00:24:31.000 If we end the week good, we'll be fine.

00:24:32.000 Yeah, if we end the week well.

00:24:33.000 Well, dang it.

00:24:34.000 English language.

00:24:36.000 I'm not even from this country.

00:24:40.000 So for people who, obviously you've been following this, but we didn't have time to get into this because Epstein happened earlier in the week.

00:24:46.000 Chris Cuomo was recently approached at a restaurant.

00:24:50.000 The Fredo thing.

00:24:51.000 Let me refresh your memory.

00:24:52.000 Punk-ass b****es from the right call me Fredo.

00:24:54.000 They use it as an Italian aspersion.

00:24:56.000 Any of you Italian?

00:24:58.000 Are you Italian?

00:24:59.000 It's a f***ing insult to your people.

00:25:00.000 Don't you love how he turns up the Goomba?

00:25:02.000 It's an insult to your people!

00:25:05.000 Hey!

00:25:05.000 Forget about it!

00:25:08.000 Mama's a pizza pie!

00:25:11.000 La fangul!

00:25:12.000 I didn't insult you.

00:25:13.000 It's like I call you punk b****.

00:25:15.000 You like that?

00:25:16.000 Listen, I have a problem with you, man.

00:25:17.000 You're gonna have a f***ing problem.

00:25:18.000 What?

00:25:19.000 What are you gonna do about it?

00:25:21.000 I'll f***ing throw you down these stairs like a f***ing punk.

00:25:25.000 That's the moment where he was really trying to perpetuate the negative Italian stereotype and went too far and you can see him look at the camera like, I'm gonna throw you down the stairs and aw crap I'm just one step shy of saying I'm gonna crowbar your kneecaps.

00:25:37.000 And he's sitting there just like... Gosh, what a punk.

00:25:39.000 Yeah, well, as he says, punk b***h. There you go.

00:25:43.000 That's funny when you ask that rhetorical question.

00:25:45.000 Like, why would you do that when you're trying to fight somebody?

00:25:48.000 Like, I'm a believer in just either fights, if you're going to fight... Or don't.

00:25:51.000 Strike or don't.

00:25:52.000 But don't ask rhetorical questions.

00:25:54.000 What if I called you punk b***h, huh?

00:25:56.000 How do you feel?

00:25:59.000 Just punch him.

00:26:00.000 Like, what do you mean?

00:26:00.000 Like, that's the worst thing.

00:26:01.000 Even if it's, just say punk bitch and boom!

00:26:03.000 You know, throw one.

00:26:04.000 Throw your overhand.

00:26:05.000 I don't care.

00:26:06.000 Throw a Russian casting punch, bro.

00:26:07.000 But you're asking, are you expecting an actual answer?

00:26:10.000 How about I throw you down the flight of stairs?

00:26:13.000 Answer me!

00:26:14.000 I'm not, yes or no.

00:26:14.000 I wouldn't like that.

00:26:16.000 Do I object?

00:26:17.000 Please don't.

00:26:18.000 But by the way, did you see when the guy stepped in between him, he really turned it up a little bit?

00:26:21.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:26:22.000 I'm gonna wreck your s**t!

00:26:23.000 You know, it's like, alright, make sure you stand in between us, alright?

00:26:25.000 So I don't actually have to do anything.

00:26:26.000 Hold me back.

00:26:26.000 Hold me back, man.

00:26:27.000 Hold me back.

00:26:27.000 I love it when people jump.

00:26:28.000 I think the guy who called him Fredo, if he was in fact, and we're hearing reports that maybe he wasn't with his wife and kid.

00:26:33.000 Listen, I think there's a ceasefire when you're out in public and you shouldn't be berating somebody.

00:26:36.000 I think the guy who did it was a dick and trying to set him up.

00:26:38.000 That being said, he of course, Chris Cuomo, should be able to allow cooler heads to prevail.

00:26:43.000 So that's why it's time for this month's installment of what a piece of s***

00:26:47.000 So today top five reasons half-asian bill half-asian lawyer bill richman's monitor is broken, so he's leaning

00:27:00.000 Oh no. Yeah.

00:27:01.000 We were supposed to do five but we actually had seven and then we just rounded it down to six.

00:27:07.000 I don't know why.

00:27:09.000 Number six.

00:27:11.000 We have videographic evidence for all of this.

00:27:13.000 Chris Cuomo said that Nathan Phillips, remember the Meth Quest guy?

00:27:18.000 He actually said on air that Nathan Phillips wanted to diffuse the situation by banging the drum in the Covington kid's face, and the kid made the wrong decision by standing and smiling.

00:27:26.000 So this is how he frames it.

00:27:27.000 And he wants you to think that, my God, he's an actual journalist.

00:27:31.000 Nathan Phillips apparently wanted to diffuse the tension and he walked up to exactly that and surely the kid, Nick Sandman, he doesn't seem to be afraid, but he did make a choice and that was to make it into a standoff.

00:27:42.000 That was not a good choice.

00:27:43.000 What?

00:27:44.000 Was it legal?

00:27:45.000 That's not my test.

00:27:45.000 Sure.

00:27:46.000 And it shouldn't be THE test.

00:27:49.000 That kid's so great for his s**t, I know!

00:27:52.000 Is it legal?

00:27:53.000 Sure.

00:27:54.000 But that's not my test.

00:27:56.000 But you know me, I don't have to tell you twice.

00:27:59.000 He stood there.

00:27:59.000 No, you know what, you need to tell us many times.

00:28:01.000 What is your test, Chris Cuomo?

00:28:02.000 Well, if you need to ask, you're not yet ready to hear.

00:28:05.000 What?

00:28:06.000 What are you, some fake Goomba, Mr. Miyagi, you piece of shit?

00:28:11.000 Wax on.

00:28:12.000 By the way, it's not only legal, he was in the right.

00:28:15.000 The guy effectively assaulted him.

00:28:16.000 And this is what's so important to me, is Chris Cuomo really does, if you see him on Twitter, he claims to be a journalist.

00:28:21.000 He doesn't, he acts as though there is no kind of bias.

00:28:25.000 This is what's insane to me.

00:28:26.000 I don't have a problem if you're right or if you're left.

00:28:28.000 Just don't lie to me.

00:28:29.000 Admit it.

00:28:29.000 Own it.

00:28:29.000 All right.

00:28:31.000 Let's go to reason number five.

00:28:33.000 I think we have a video of this one where he claimed that America first and the term nationalist, these terms are actually phrases equivalent to, not they're bad, not they might be dog whistles, concentration camps.

00:28:44.000 One point of pushback before I get to you, Angela, you did not have similar problems with the phrase America first, which is equally stained.

00:28:51.000 Or the word nationalist, which is equally stained.

00:28:54.000 No, yes, as a matter of fact, I totally disagree that it's a stained word.

00:28:58.000 As a matter of fact, you may, but you're wrong.

00:29:00.000 American nationalism, well, no, I'm not wrong.

00:29:02.000 You don't get to define what nationalism means for me.

00:29:05.000 I do.

00:29:06.000 I love it.

00:29:07.000 Wow.

00:29:07.000 CNN must watch us succeed.

00:29:09.000 Their credibility hangs in the balance from an anchor who can be fooled by basic opposite day reverse psychology.

00:29:16.000 No, no, no!

00:29:17.000 No, yes!

00:29:17.000 Yes!

00:29:18.000 No, yes!

00:29:18.000 I'm gonna go with yes!

00:29:19.000 Dead gummit.

00:29:20.000 Wabbit season.

00:29:21.000 What a piece of s***!

00:29:23.000 Not only does he say that it's equivalent to concentration camps, when a guy responds perfectly reasonably, he's like, no, not at all!

00:29:29.000 Yes, at all!

00:29:30.000 Yes!

00:29:32.000 I mean, I'm fairly certain basic argument would tell you that Chris, American Heritage Dictionary, Oxford, Webster's, doesn't get to define the words, but if that's all he's got, I mean... No, he does!

00:29:43.000 No, he does!

00:29:44.000 He does get to define them!

00:29:45.000 He defines them for you.

00:29:47.000 I'm gonna go with does.

00:29:48.000 He does.

00:29:49.000 What is it with him and AOC and concentration camps?

00:29:51.000 Like, how is nobody raking them over the coals for that stuff?

00:29:54.000 You get a pass!

00:29:55.000 You get a pass!

00:29:56.000 I just wonder what Zucker is saying there when he's sitting in his office in his leather recliner.

00:30:00.000 He's like, Son of a gun!

00:30:03.000 Again, again, why?

00:30:04.000 Chris, how will I take over the human planet if it weren't for the lonely express with your father?

00:30:09.000 Alright, reason number four.

00:30:13.000 You know, I should set this up, I just think we'll let the clip do the talking.

00:30:16.000 He actually thinks that, remember how Donald Trump got all kinds of flack for saying, you know, I'm not talking about the white supremacists or the white nationalists, they should absolutely be condemned, totally, but then he talked about the people who are the president and the people on both sides?

00:30:28.000 Yeah.

00:30:30.000 Actually, if you watch more of the context, and we can't provide you with all the context because we don't have that much time, uh, let's just show the clip.

00:30:36.000 Chris Cuomo, I mean, he thinks Antifa is right.

00:30:39.000 Talk about Antifa?

00:30:40.000 I've watched them in the streets protesting in different situations, okay?

00:30:44.000 There are certainly aspects of them that are true to a cause.

00:30:47.000 That is a good cause.

00:30:48.000 They want social justice, they want whatever they want in that context.

00:30:52.000 What context?

00:30:53.000 They want whatever they want in that context.

00:30:55.000 Well, what context?

00:30:56.000 Social justice.

00:30:57.000 Well, what does that even mean?

00:30:58.000 Yes!

00:30:59.000 Antifa!

00:31:00.000 Yes!

00:31:00.000 No!

00:31:01.000 Changed at the end of a bat.

00:31:02.000 By the way, did you see he also tweeted out a meme suggesting that D-Day soldiers and Antifa were one and the same.

00:31:07.000 Wow.

00:31:08.000 Let's not forget.

00:31:09.000 Oh my gosh.

00:31:10.000 That's not cool, bro.

00:31:11.000 Let's not forget, okay?

00:31:13.000 If you forget, it's an insult to your f***ing people.

00:31:16.000 I'll wreck you.

00:31:17.000 I will wreck you if you forget.

00:31:18.000 I don't think that's an insult to my people at all.

00:31:20.000 No, it's not.

00:31:21.000 No, yes!

00:31:21.000 Yes, it is!

00:31:22.000 Yes, it is an insult!

00:31:23.000 Don't try to confuse me.

00:31:25.000 Thought you were gonna pass one.

00:31:27.000 Thought you were gonna pull the wool over the eyes of old Chris Cuomo, huh?

00:31:30.000 Some nice stairs you got there.

00:31:32.000 You'd be ashamed of somewhere to fall down them.

00:31:34.000 What is it?

00:31:35.000 The stairs?

00:31:35.000 I mean, I don't know.

00:31:36.000 There's not even stairs behind me, sir.

00:31:37.000 What are you talking about?

00:31:38.000 Was he in a tent?

00:31:39.000 He was in a tent?

00:31:40.000 Yeah!

00:31:40.000 I didn't know tents had stairs!

00:31:42.000 You would have to build stairs to then break.

00:31:44.000 Who are you?

00:31:45.000 Wreck-it Ralph?

00:31:46.000 Give me a minute and I will throw you down these self-made stairs.

00:31:48.000 By the way, while we're mocking other people who claim to be journalists, I'm not one!

00:31:51.000 So hit the notification bell if you're subscribed because apparently that doesn't mean a whole lot.

00:32:03.000 Here's another example.

00:32:04.000 Cuomo, actually.

00:32:05.000 We don't have the clip.

00:32:07.000 It's a clip and then his Twitter.

00:32:08.000 He mocks effectively a rape victim who had a gun to defend herself and her children.

00:32:14.000 She cut an ad for the NRA.

00:32:15.000 Here you go.

00:32:16.000 I knew I was going to die and there was nothing I could do.

00:32:21.000 Now I'm a mother of two.

00:32:23.000 And if that predator, or anyone else, tries to harm me or my family, they have to come through my firearm first.

00:32:31.000 And then Chris Cuomo responded with, uh, Only in America, responding to that video.

00:32:37.000 Yes!

00:32:38.000 Yes.

00:32:38.000 Isn't that a good thing?

00:32:39.000 Thank God.

00:32:39.000 Correct.

00:32:39.000 As opposed to the UK, what, she should be throwing chicken strips because she can't even have a butter knife?

00:32:44.000 Exactly.

00:32:45.000 She got raped.

00:32:46.000 She can defend herself now.

00:32:47.000 Why is this a bad thing?

00:32:49.000 When we talk about social justice, you talk about equality, I used to talk about it in the Antifa clip, you know, they punch random pastors by at will in the face.

00:32:55.000 How about equality for women being able to protect themselves?

00:32:59.000 The only thing that can allow a woman to be stronger than a man is a gun.

00:33:03.000 But none of this is based on, nothing Cuomo says is ever based on verifiable evidence or truth.

00:33:07.000 From Russia to the idea that women shouldn't be able to have a gun.

00:33:11.000 And this isn't one of those tropes that you're actually worse off just for having a gun in the house.

00:33:15.000 No, you're not.

00:33:16.000 No, that is not true at all.

00:33:18.000 It is immediately debunked by simply looking at the defensive uses of firearms in the country every year.

00:33:21.000 It's that simple.

00:33:22.000 Yeah.

00:33:23.000 Alright, any thoughts on this?

00:33:24.000 No, it sucks.

00:33:26.000 I'm just mad.

00:33:27.000 Let's move to reason number two.

00:33:29.000 This was one that's pretty, I mean, this is particularly s*** for even in the realm of piece of s*** segments.

00:33:35.000 At least Chris Cuomo, he's got the, you know, he's got, he's not as, he's not as offensively unattractive as Brian Stelter.

00:33:42.000 Yeah, that's true, that's true.

00:33:44.000 Like, I get the Chris Cuomo, the nepotism thing, but Brian Stelter, I, I mean, can someone explain it to me in the comment section?

00:33:51.000 I'm also still not convinced that he's straight.

00:33:54.000 So anyway, Cuomo did say, this was something else, he said that the offering thoughts and prayers was the equivalent to mocking mass shooting victims.

00:34:01.000 And then it gets even, if you think, ooh, that's pretty rough for a journalist, it gets even worse.

00:34:07.000 Here you go.

00:34:07.000 The only consensus there is, is in a canard, and here it is.

00:34:12.000 First, I would like to offer my thoughts and prayers.

00:34:16.000 Because that's what you do when you offer thoughts and prayers.

00:34:20.000 Seriously?

00:34:20.000 You mock those who lost loved ones.

00:34:23.000 What would it take?

00:34:24.000 How about a stadium full of children of the most influential people in our society all holding puppies?

00:34:31.000 What if they were all shot and killed?

00:34:32.000 Would we act?

00:34:33.000 Oh, don't be ridiculous to suggest something like that.

00:34:35.000 Is it?

00:34:36.000 Is it ridiculous?

00:34:37.000 Oh my gosh.

00:34:38.000 No!

00:34:39.000 No, wait, yes!

00:34:39.000 Yes, it is ridiculous!

00:34:40.000 Yes, it is.

00:34:40.000 Wait!

00:34:41.000 Sorry, Cuomo.

00:34:42.000 You made it too easy for me.

00:34:44.000 How in the world does he get away with mocking Christians praying for people?

00:34:47.000 It's equivalent to mocking for thoughts and prayers.

00:34:49.000 As opposed to what you're going to do, Chris Cuomo?

00:34:51.000 What are you going to do?

00:34:52.000 What are you going to do?

00:34:53.000 Well, I'll support Uh, the assault weapon ban.

00:34:57.000 Oh, so you'll send your thoughts to your representatives to support a piece of legislation that makes a gun like this illegal and legal.

00:35:04.000 Legal, illegal.

00:35:05.000 Legal, illegal.

00:35:06.000 Everything else is the same.

00:35:07.000 So in other words, someone's prayers to the higher power that most people on planet Earth believe in is more silly than you Hoping, wishing, and loving, and hoping, and being a piece of s*** in your mind, hoping that someone signs a bill that won't be effective at all.

00:35:24.000 And by the way, when he talks about people in a stadium with puppies and we shot, I don't want to talk about a non sequitur, but this is not in the mind of a crazy piece of s***.

00:35:32.000 But he says, imagine the most influential people in the world.

00:35:36.000 Yeah.

00:35:36.000 Well, hold on, that's not, I mean, that's not the crux of this story here, this hypothetical.

00:35:41.000 It's shooting the puppies.

00:35:43.000 I don't care if Podesta's holding them.

00:35:47.000 I don't get it.

00:35:47.000 Podesta's kids.

00:35:49.000 I don't understand.

00:35:49.000 The kids of the most influential people.

00:35:51.000 None of what he said there makes any sense at all.

00:35:53.000 It doesn't.

00:35:54.000 Not at all.

00:35:55.000 Even if you don't believe in a higher power, somebody praying is about the most that somebody that's removed by a thousand miles can do.

00:36:01.000 Right?

00:36:01.000 Yeah.

00:36:02.000 You should just be like, OK, well, good.

00:36:04.000 He wants sweeping gun legislation.

00:36:05.000 No, he wants to get all guns.

00:36:08.000 He wants to take away your Second Amendment rights.

00:36:10.000 Right.

00:36:10.000 And if you go and watch it, you can see him actually talking about it.

00:36:12.000 And this is what's so dangerous.

00:36:13.000 You can see him talking about the Australian buyback.

00:36:14.000 I mean, that doesn't fill his audience in on the fact that it's mandatory.

00:36:17.000 That is an outright gun ban.

00:36:19.000 And the real danger here is I don't have a problem with Rachel Maddow, because people know where she lines up.

00:36:26.000 Some people, namely when we're talking about CNN, people in airports who've apparently had their eyes duct taped open, because that's the viewership we're talking about here, they don't necessarily know that Cuomo is biased.

00:36:37.000 So this guy goes out there and claims to be an actual journalist, and everything that we've just heard Yeah.

00:36:40.000 is a narrative that he's allowed to frame.

00:36:42.000 He goes out there and he decides what information, or at least at one point, right?

00:36:45.000 And that's why these people, CNN, NBC, Universal, Viacom, all these companies want to make sure

00:36:49.000 the show like this doesn't exist because at one point in time, all you had was Chris Cuomo.

00:36:54.000 You think Walter Cronkite was any better?

00:36:56.000 He was better at disguising it a little bit, but that's what he's doing here.

00:36:59.000 And case in point, he wants to determine how you view the news.

00:37:03.000 And not only how you view it, but ultimately what kind of speech is permissible.

00:37:07.000 Which brings me to, we don't have a video clip, but I think this is the worst thing that Cuomo's ever done.

00:37:11.000 And again, this goes to him trying to manipulate and control news.

00:37:15.000 And I'm not talking about some government form of my control.

00:37:18.000 I got heart!

00:37:19.000 I got blood pumping through my heart!

00:37:20.000 I'm a human!

00:37:21.000 I'm just saying this as a form.

00:37:22.000 of propaganda.

00:37:23.000 Oh Alex Jones.

00:37:24.000 By the way, an exclusive Alex Jones interview available at Mug Club.

00:37:27.000 It's like a whole hour.

00:37:28.000 It's great.

00:37:29.000 Um, because he wanted to reframe language here in saying that 12 year old girls who

00:37:35.000 don't want to see penises in the locker room are bigots.

00:37:39.000 Here you go, look at that.

00:37:40.000 I wonder if she has a problem of her overprotective and intolerant dad.

00:37:43.000 Teach tolerance.

00:37:45.000 So there you go, because this is Chris Cuomo, right, and his job, he thinks that, he thinks it's his job to make sure that you know, if you don't follow his brand of tolerance, that you shouldn't have a seat at the table of Western civilization.

00:37:57.000 That your daughter is intolerant because she doesn't want to see someone's pecker right at face level with her permeable contacts.

00:38:04.000 I mean, it's just, it's remarkable to me.

00:38:06.000 Semi-permeable, totally fine.

00:38:08.000 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

00:38:14.000 I want to open the door!

00:38:16.000 No, don't take the- she's not about the magnetic lock- It takes 800 pounds of pressure to open, Omar.

00:38:20.000 Let's just, let's go.

00:38:21.000 We have Razor Fist coming up.

00:38:22.000 I don't want to hear her anymore.

00:38:23.000 Open your mind.

00:38:25.000 I'm gonna get it on my face.

00:38:27.000 Ugh.

00:38:28.000 So bad.

00:38:29.000 Open your mind.

00:38:31.000 Let us begin our quest to find a new sound.

00:38:43.000 I think you meant to say behind the scenes, but because you're Asian, you have problems with plurals.

00:38:48.000 Of course, don't forget Mug Club for those who haven't yet joined.

00:38:52.000 That's what allows us to keep half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond on retainer.

00:38:55.000 I'm expensive.

00:39:05.000 People have a right to think he actually committed suicide.

00:39:07.000 People have a right to think that he was murdered.

00:39:09.000 But the evidence points towards murder.

00:39:11.000 We know that all the default protections were turned off.

00:39:14.000 That people heard screaming and yelling and shouting, breathe, breathe, Epstein.

00:39:19.000 And then he told friends, they're trying to kill me.

00:39:21.000 Over the telephone, they're trying to kill me.

00:39:23.000 You got to get me out of here.

00:39:24.000 I'm not going to commit suicide.

00:39:25.000 I didn't try to commit suicide.

00:39:27.000 It's like a string on a sweater.

00:39:29.000 You pull that string out on that sweater and the whole thing can unravel.

00:39:35.000 You rightfully explained that most people get recruited by evil because it's a hot secretary, and that's actually how most satanists recruit people, and that's how it begins.

00:39:45.000 But the way it's been described to me is it's circles of corruption.

00:39:48.000 They have all the information.

00:39:50.000 They know where the bodies are buried.

00:39:51.000 They had underground dungeons, underground passages.

00:39:55.000 Are you saying you think that Epstein would have been involved with, like, actual human sacrifices at satanic rituals?

00:40:01.000 Absolutely.

00:40:05.000 Ahem.

00:40:08.000 What a complete disaster.

00:40:11.000 Excuse me, did you just blow in from dressed like a spazville?

00:40:16.000 How do you walk around looking like that?

00:40:21.000 Ah yes, there you go.

00:40:22.000 Now you're ready to fight the man in style.

00:40:25.000 Louder with Crowder merch.

00:40:28.000 Makes these two slobs look better.

00:40:37.000 You know thing in the wake of and we'll be discussing the recent shootings with our next guest this is a stick-up

00:40:56.000 song might be inappropriate So, that's it.

00:40:58.000 Some could say.

00:40:59.000 When I think about it.

00:41:00.000 Maybe it was a bad choice.

00:41:01.000 Yeah.

00:41:02.000 I'm not too affected by it.

00:41:03.000 Honestly, I feel like I should feel more distraught than I am.

00:41:08.000 I often feel that way.

00:41:09.000 I don't know if that makes me a sociopath.

00:41:11.000 Our next guest, I'm very excited to have him back on.

00:41:14.000 It's been a while.

00:41:14.000 I think he has a little bit of a cold because I just was talking to him during the break here, but you know him on the Twitter.

00:41:18.000 You follow him at RayZorFist with an O. With a zero.

00:41:22.000 Zero.

00:41:23.000 See, it's funny, I say O for the number zero.

00:41:25.000 If I'm doing a number, in my head I was thinking the number.

00:41:28.000 This is off to a bad start.

00:41:29.000 The Rageaholic is a YouTube channel, and he actually has a new website, or at least since we last had him on.

00:41:33.000 It's the-rageaholic.tumblr.com, which, of course, he's just married to horrible names that are unsearchable, I guess.

00:41:41.000 Mr. Fist, how are you, sir?

00:41:43.000 I'm fantastic, as long as you don't start using the word Zed there.

00:41:47.000 Did I tell you that I got kicked out of class in Canada for saying that it was Z?

00:41:52.000 Really?

00:41:53.000 Yep.

00:41:54.000 I remember.

00:41:54.000 And actually, she became the principal later on of my grade school, so lucky for me.

00:41:59.000 She was my teacher originally, and she said, it's Zed.

00:42:01.000 I said, no, it's Zee.

00:42:03.000 Mrs. Mesher was her name.

00:42:04.000 I said, no, it's Zed.

00:42:06.000 She goes, it's Zed.

00:42:06.000 It's Zee.

00:42:07.000 I said, OK.

00:42:08.000 And I walked her through the entire ABCs.

00:42:09.000 I said, Mrs. Mesher, let's go through this.

00:42:12.000 A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Zed.

00:42:18.000 Is that the most retarded thing you've ever heard?

00:42:22.000 And then, of course, you apologized, and they let you be Canadian again.

00:42:26.000 Yes, pretty much.

00:42:27.000 No, I did not apologize.

00:42:28.000 I was also kicked out of my class with Mrs. Lake for stating that there were 50 states.

00:42:32.000 She claimed there were 52.

00:42:35.000 People who watch this don't know this.

00:42:36.000 She said, uh-uh-uh.

00:42:37.000 She said, don't forget, Hawaii and Alaska.

00:42:39.000 And I responded, I swear to you, word for word, uh-uh-uh.

00:42:42.000 Including them, there's 50 states.

00:42:43.000 And she kicked me out.

00:42:46.000 She took Obama geography.

00:42:48.000 Yes, pretty much.

00:42:49.000 Yeah.

00:42:50.000 She just got it wrong, too, because she didn't round up to 57, I think was his quote.

00:42:53.000 So, Mr. Fist, thank you for being here.

00:42:57.000 So, I wanted to talk with you.

00:42:59.000 I know last week you kind of ended up being in Shuffle and Representative Dan Crenshaw was on, but obviously I wanted to have you on because in the wake of the shootings, and we'll get to Epstein because I'm sure you have some good material there, I was disappointed to see those on the right, including people in the Trump administration, try to blame it on violent video games.

00:43:14.000 It felt like we were going back to the era of Tipper Gore.

00:43:17.000 What were your thoughts on this?

00:43:19.000 Yeah, well, it's kind of like clockwork at this point.

00:43:22.000 You've always got... Every single time one of these happens, it's time to play the vidya blame game.

00:43:28.000 You know, you had the Jack Thompsons back in the day, and then the villagers with pitchforks and torches ran him out of town.

00:43:34.000 But, like I said earlier this week, what does it say about our society that Our default position after any given tragedy is to blame either semi-automatics or Super Mario.

00:43:49.000 It's one of those two things.

00:43:50.000 There's no middle ground, and now we're pairing the two.

00:43:54.000 Like, if video games made your child a murderer, or made you indeed a child murderer, then, you know, what does that make an arcade?

00:43:54.000 You understand?

00:44:02.000 Does that make it Planned Parenthood?

00:44:04.000 And if video games created gun crime, then why are they at their lowest level in, what, 40, 50 years?

00:44:12.000 Yeah, but the news made me feel... Video games are selling more than ever.

00:44:16.000 Yeah, but the news made me feel really upset about the recent shooting, so I think we should disregard the statistics and blame the wildly offensive Italian stereotypes as it relates to Italian plumbers.

00:44:25.000 Yeah.

00:44:26.000 Right!

00:44:27.000 The Fredos, if you will.

00:44:28.000 Yes!

00:44:30.000 I wonder if Chris Cuomo would have been just as mad if you called him Mario.

00:44:34.000 I probably would have.

00:44:35.000 It would have been great.

00:44:36.000 That's like the n-word to us, buddy.

00:44:38.000 I'm not entirely sure.

00:44:39.000 I'll throw you right down these stairs.

00:44:40.000 You'd prefer Luigi's Mansion?

00:44:43.000 Alright, that's... Right up, right up.

00:44:45.000 By the way, like, anyone else pick it up on the fact that like...

00:44:49.000 Democrats are a little hazy on whether or not Italians are actually minorities.

00:44:53.000 You know what I mean?

00:44:54.000 Right.

00:44:55.000 Like, when Rudolph Giuliani's standing on a stage with 12 other dudes, you know, he's the whitest guy ever.

00:45:01.000 Right.

00:45:01.000 But, you know, Chris Cuomo, who looks whiter than a porn star's ass, he said, oh, you know, he's Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.

00:45:08.000 Yes, pretty much.

00:45:09.000 And even then, I'm not sure if he's a minority.

00:45:11.000 I don't know exactly who or what constitutes a minority.

00:45:14.000 I have to go by who's champion in boxing.

00:45:16.000 So if there are no Italian champions in boxing anymore, they can't be that much of an underdog.

00:45:20.000 Right?

00:45:20.000 It's the secret.

00:45:21.000 No, exactly.

00:45:22.000 No, historically that's true.

00:45:23.000 We had obviously Italians, we had the Irish, and actually combat sports are a great indicator of people because it's kind of an individual sport that doesn't cost a lot of money.

00:45:30.000 And then, you know, the blacks found it, so we lost that one.

00:45:33.000 Took it over.

00:45:35.000 You're welcome.

00:45:36.000 But to return to the issue... Yes, video games, yes, yes.

00:45:40.000 I'm like, wait a minute.

00:45:42.000 No, like, gun control... The problem, of course, is invariably that the solution either way is control.

00:45:48.000 Right.

00:45:48.000 Right?

00:45:48.000 Because we're talking about this issue, and it's not coincidental that, you know, your frontrunner, heaven help us all, is Joe Biden, and he... 2013 or so, he had video game violence panels.

00:46:01.000 Right.

00:46:01.000 He was going to regulate video games, and then The angry mob shouted him down.

00:46:05.000 I mean, at the end of the day, if gun control was a solution, shouldn't Los Angeles be like a Star Trek space commie utopia by now?

00:46:13.000 Yeah.

00:46:14.000 Like, last I checked, Los Angeles is the only city where a particle warning comes in .45 caliber.

00:46:19.000 California leads the country in mass shootings, never mind gun crime, and guns are the only thing they hate more than the middle class.

00:46:26.000 Yes, but if you saw Predator 2, we have that to look forward to.

00:46:31.000 Why do you think everyone's leaving the state?

00:46:33.000 I was just out yesterday driving around and I literally played the Count the California License plate game.

00:46:43.000 California's state bird is a swarm of locusts.

00:46:47.000 They moved to all the neighboring states and immediately set about ruining it.

00:46:52.000 They absolutely ruin it.

00:46:53.000 My question though, I guess too, were you particularly disappointed that you saw it coming, that we saw it coming from this administration?

00:46:59.000 I mean, I thought that we were somewhat past this because the left had become, they'd had the monopoly on the pearl clutching and blaming video games, but it seems like now since they're trying to shift away from firearms, although they are caving a little bit on some gun control measures, I was just surprised to see them go to video games.

00:47:14.000 I thought we'd put this to bed.

00:47:16.000 Well, no, it doesn't surprise me.

00:47:17.000 Trump's been wrong on this issue for years.

00:47:19.000 You know what I mean?

00:47:20.000 Between Biden's video game censorship panels in 2013, you know, Trump's retarded tangent this past week, it's time to accept it.

00:47:29.000 Blaming Super Metroid for mass shootings, it's not a Republican thing.

00:47:32.000 It's not a Democrat thing.

00:47:33.000 It's a boomer thing.

00:47:34.000 Oh yeah.

00:47:35.000 Yeah.

00:47:35.000 You know what I mean?

00:47:36.000 It's a baby boomer thing.

00:47:38.000 And if Social Security, ska music, and The View have taught us anything, it's that boomers were a mistake.

00:47:44.000 I don't know that you can lay Ska at their feet.

00:47:46.000 I feel like that was something a little bit more... We're talking the original Ska.

00:47:50.000 We're talking OG.

00:47:55.000 Yeah, also I'd toss Bruce Springsteen in there.

00:47:59.000 For me, he just ruins Christmas.

00:48:00.000 Every time I hear that guy, he's not a stylist.

00:48:02.000 He just has no talent.

00:48:05.000 Have you?

00:48:05.000 And this is Scrubs, by the way.

00:48:06.000 While we've been talking about YouTube censorship, I remember my first show ever, I did this whole rant on Bruce Springsteen.

00:48:14.000 It was close to Christmas time when I was in Detroit or Ann Arbor, and I found an old interview of Bruce Springsteen, and it's kind of like Al Pacino, where he had Serpico, you know, you go back as original, and he was talking like this, but listen, what am I gonna do, officer?

00:48:25.000 No, he's...

00:48:25.000 Talkin' like this!

00:48:27.000 It was the same thing with Bruce Springsteen.

00:48:28.000 He sounded like a young Ralph Macchio.

00:48:30.000 And now all of these interviews are gone.

00:48:32.000 He was sitting there talking like this about, you know, the theory of music, and now he answers, I'm the boss!

00:48:38.000 And nothing about him is genuine.

00:48:41.000 Sorry, this had nothing to do with our interview.

00:48:43.000 No.

00:48:44.000 He's not a fan.

00:48:45.000 Well, he's the kind of guy who gets a tailored blue collar, you know what I mean?

00:48:49.000 Like, how many millions does this guy have?

00:48:52.000 He's still selling that I'm the boss thing?

00:48:54.000 Yes, exactly.

00:48:55.000 Are you freaking kidding me?

00:48:56.000 It was like John Edwards.

00:48:57.000 I'd say, who are you wearing?

00:48:58.000 And Versace would tell him, Fay JC Penney!

00:49:01.000 And he would sew it into the back of his suit.

00:49:04.000 All right, we'll move on to something else that, you know, we have less factual information.

00:49:09.000 Actually, we have a ton of factual information, but let's get a little conspiratorial.

00:49:12.000 Epstein, you think that Clinton's put a hit on him?

00:49:15.000 What do you think here?

00:49:15.000 A poll just came out, I think from Rasmussen, that the majority of people, or a plurality of Americans, don't think he killed himself.

00:49:22.000 Yeah, I mean, first off, before we move on to the conspiracy, you have to, at the end of the day, say, you know, You have to celebrate it, at the end of the day.

00:49:33.000 I mean, let's be real.

00:49:35.000 This is not a guy that we wanted to remain alive, even though we would have appreciated the information he could have proffered.

00:49:40.000 So, uh, you know, let's have a quick ding-dong, the diddler's dead.

00:49:44.000 But, I mean, at the end... Seriously, come on.

00:49:48.000 No, he is a pedophile.

00:49:49.000 He had a diddle island.

00:49:50.000 Yeah.

00:49:51.000 Right?

00:49:52.000 He did diddler warm-ups.

00:49:53.000 Like, he had a whole routine.

00:49:55.000 It was like a sun salutation on the wall.

00:49:59.000 Who knew Suicide Watch involved popcorn and hoagies?

00:50:04.000 That's the thing, really the extant question is, was he murdered, or did he just, and I think this is probably more likely, I mean, the guy's got 1.5 billion dollars.

00:50:17.000 C**** knows where it came from.

00:50:18.000 They still don't know.

00:50:20.000 But he's got 1.5 billion dollars.

00:50:21.000 Is it more likely that he paid off a guard and was like, hey, like, smuggle me a shiv or something?

00:50:27.000 Of course, he hanged himself or whatever, but, you know, smuggle me some bull rope, whatever.

00:50:33.000 It seems slightly more likely that might be the case.

00:50:36.000 Maybe, I think the intent matters, because I think the records of his recent conversations, if this is a guy who was really intent on blowing the lid off, on revealing who was behind this, on sort of burning the whole ship down, that's a guy who wouldn't kill himself in that cell if you handed him a shiv.

00:50:50.000 Now, if it's someone who really felt defeated and wanted to clock out, then yeah, that's more likely.

00:50:55.000 And that should be pretty easy to find, that info.

00:50:58.000 No, exactly.

00:50:59.000 The thing that alarmed me was, I don't know if you heard this yesterday, it just came out, Did you hear they're just now getting around to raiding Epstein's little pedopad there on Drilligan's Island?

00:51:08.000 Yeah, yeah, and they're taking away, like, computers or before-and-after pictures and videos.

00:51:13.000 Just now!

00:51:14.000 Like, way to strike while the iron is frozen, my dudes.

00:51:19.000 And by the way, if there's any more stalwart, upstanding organization with an unblemished record of being dispassionate and apolitical enough to investigate this asshole in the FBI, Right.

00:51:30.000 You know, let them speak now or forever hold their pee-pee dossier.

00:51:34.000 Pretty much.

00:51:35.000 I think when they get there, I think a few people, when they're getting there, you know, there's just a couple agents calling shotgun on who gets the secret DVDs.

00:51:41.000 Yeah, I was saying, like, I don't know about you, but I can't wait to hand over my guns to the same government responsible for guarding Jeffrey Epstein.

00:51:49.000 Yes, exactly.

00:51:51.000 Yeah.

00:51:51.000 No, I think, and by the way, a little known fact, though, the police response time on Pedophile Island?

00:51:57.000 8 minutes, 42 seconds.

00:51:58.000 I don't know how they did it!

00:52:00.000 I do not know how they did it.

00:52:02.000 There still are some stalwart among us.

00:52:06.000 Some white people.

00:52:07.000 Yes, exactly.

00:52:09.000 So you think it's more likely that he just offed himself and found a way to get a guard I think that's probably more likely, but you never know.

00:52:18.000 I do find massively suspicious the fact that his legal team, they were the ones who pushed really, really hard for him to get off of Suicide Watch, it turns out.

00:52:28.000 And now his lawyers have lawyered up.

00:52:30.000 Right.

00:52:33.000 That's a little alarming.

00:52:34.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:52:35.000 Their one phone call is to yell out to their partners.

00:52:38.000 Sid!

00:52:40.000 Yeah, I'm not gonna waste a quarter here.

00:52:42.000 I think you know what this is about.

00:52:45.000 Do you have the paper shredder?

00:52:47.000 You know what to do.

00:52:49.000 Exactly.

00:52:50.000 Wouldn't you know it?

00:52:52.000 Epstein and Cuomo are in the news again.

00:52:54.000 At the same time.

00:52:57.000 A different Cuomo, but you know.

00:52:59.000 What do you make of the Cuomo reaction?

00:53:01.000 Because I think, and then we do have to go after this, I think it's a dick move to obviously approach a guy when he's not on air and try and taunt him.

00:53:08.000 And I think Chris Cuomo should obviously have more control over his reactions.

00:53:11.000 And I do love how he turned on out of nowhere the Goomba Italian.

00:53:14.000 That is an insult to our people!

00:53:19.000 I don't understand the Fredo is an ethnic slur thing.

00:53:28.000 This I do not understand.

00:53:29.000 Then again, I have not seen The Godfather, but I don't understand how Fredo is an ethnic slur unless your first name is Al, I guess.

00:53:34.000 I don't know.

00:53:35.000 Did you throw that out just to piss off half the audience?

00:53:37.000 Did you just throw that out because you know the comment section is going to go nuts that you haven't seen The Godfather?

00:53:40.000 I can already hear him.

00:53:42.000 I know!

00:53:43.000 I do not care for the Godfather.

00:53:44.000 I did not care for the Godfather.

00:53:46.000 I did not care for the Godfather either.

00:53:47.000 I'm with you.

00:53:47.000 I think Chinatown was a better film, even though... You know, then we're back to rape with Polanski!

00:53:51.000 True.

00:53:51.000 It's like you just can't step over... You can't step over a rapist in Hollywood without stepping on another rapist!

00:53:59.000 Oh, I think we lost Razor.

00:54:00.000 I think we lost Mr. Fist.

00:54:01.000 I don't know what happened.

00:54:02.000 Did he unplug his, uh... Hear me?

00:54:05.000 Oh, now we can hear you.

00:54:06.000 Now it's a little too loud.

00:54:07.000 Alright, closing thoughts, because we lost time here and it's my fault.

00:54:13.000 No, I was just saying, there is absolutely no way in nine nebulous hells that Roman Polanski never stepped foot on that island.

00:54:20.000 At least once.

00:54:21.000 There's no way!

00:54:22.000 Come on, they're giving him standing ovations at the Oscars and nobody can cut this guy a check for a plane ticket.

00:54:28.000 Come on.

00:54:28.000 Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the autopilot was just tapping him in.

00:54:32.000 Right, exactly.

00:54:34.000 Over there at Epstein.

00:54:35.000 All right, we do have to get going, and I appreciate making the time.

00:54:37.000 I know it sounds like you have a cold.

00:54:38.000 Maybe it could just be the cedar pollen.

00:54:41.000 I have no idea.

00:54:41.000 The Twitter is at RayZorZeroFist, and the website is a Tumblr there, the-RayJaholic.

00:54:48.000 Of course, the YouTube channel, RayJaholic.

00:54:49.000 Mr. Fist, thank you so much, sir.

00:54:50.000 We always love having you on, and be well.

00:54:53.000 I love being on.

00:54:54.000 Thanks for having me.

00:54:55.000 Oh hey.

00:55:07.000 I'm just here to tell you, frankly, that if you haven't joined Mug Club yet, I don't know what you're waiting for.

00:55:12.000 Okay?

00:55:13.000 It's the best club around, and that's not my opinion.

00:55:15.000 That's what they say.

00:55:16.000 Everyone says it's the best club.

00:55:17.000 That's what they tell me.

00:55:18.000 Not only do you get access, okay, frankly, to The whole Daily Show, which on YouTube, what you get is not daily.

00:55:26.000 Okay?

00:55:27.000 But you also get access to the whole Blaze catalog.

00:55:29.000 And if that's not enough reason for you, it's the perfect gift to piss Trudy off.

00:55:36.000 Okay?

00:55:38.000 Joy Buckler.

00:55:40.000 Big doosh.

00:55:42.000 And then finish.

00:55:44.000 And there you have it.

00:56:00.000 What's happening?

00:56:03.000 It's following, like, bright new signs that are coming.

00:56:08.000 Nice!

00:56:09.000 Nice!

00:56:16.000 Why did you fall back?

00:56:21.000 I got method acting, man.

00:56:24.000 Lie from above!

00:56:26.000 No!

00:56:27.000 No, he pulled my hair!

00:56:29.000 He stole this from me, my God, yeah!

00:56:32.000 Okay, so...

00:56:41.000 We were late in getting B-roll, but we just decided to use that because we had it in our database, so...

00:56:46.000 Okay, so- That made no sense.

00:56:50.000 That made no sense.

00:56:50.000 I'm sorry, I know I'm interrupting you, but- Live on weekday, 6 to 8 PM Eastern, don't miss out on The Young Turks.

00:57:09.000 Hey there, time for the one live read of the week.

00:57:10.000 Last week, we didn't even do one.

00:57:11.000 So, not only do we want to thank, of course, our wonderful sponsor, Walther, and all the other sponsors on the show, but mainly Walther, because they protect the studios.

00:57:18.000 Of course, for those of you who haven't yet joined, livewithcreditor.com slash Mug Club.

00:57:22.000 It's 99 annually.

00:57:23.000 I know I've talked about this before.

00:57:24.000 69 for veterans, students, active military.

00:57:27.000 You get this hand-etched mug.

00:57:28.000 You get the entire Blaze catalog, but you get a lot of content that you don't get here on YouTube.

00:57:32.000 Probably about 75% more content.

00:57:35.000 Like this week we had a life advice, we had a scrapyard show,

00:57:38.000 we have a full exclusive long form interview with Alex Jones, a web extended interview

00:57:43.000 with Razor Fist, Mr. Fist, all of that available where the YouTube lords don't lurk.

00:57:50.000 Lotofcutter.com slash Mug Club.

00:57:52.000 ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪

00:58:32.000 Whew.

00:58:33.000 That's the gentleman who was worrying about his headphone cord,

00:58:36.000 when he should have been worrying about the riptide.

00:58:38.000 Oh, yeah.

00:58:39.000 So he's dead.

00:58:40.000 You gotta stay focused when you're out there.

00:58:41.000 These really aren't so much dances as they are pieces.

00:58:45.000 It's more like interpretive dance.

00:58:46.000 Effectively.

00:58:47.000 It's interpretive dance.

00:58:47.000 It's interpretive movement.

00:58:49.000 That's what my high school drama teacher told me about.

00:58:50.000 By the way, we have an exclusive web extended, of course, with Razor Fist at Mug Club, and we're going to be doing that mostly every week here, moving forward.

00:58:58.000 Wanted to thank Maximus, the PA who had to leave.

00:59:00.000 Yes.

00:59:01.000 We know that a lot of you have seen him on air and really enjoyed him, so we're going to miss him, but he might be back for some sketches every now and then.

00:59:05.000 Love that guy.

00:59:07.000 There's a lot to talk about.

00:59:10.000 I don't really know any good way to sort of approach this topic, but let's just dive right into it.

00:59:16.000 And hopefully, you know, I can offer some insight here that ends up being helpful to you.

00:59:22.000 But I understand that when I start discussing this topic, you're going to say, well, how does that help me?

00:59:26.000 This sounds pretty exclusive to you.

00:59:27.000 It sounds pretty niche, Steven.

00:59:31.000 And granted, unless you've actually gotten into a war of words with NBCUniversal Viacom yourself, In Vox, it may sound like it's out of left field, but stay with me here.

00:59:42.000 So there's been a rumor or news, I guess, circulating that Carlos Maza may have just been fired from Vox.

00:59:49.000 He may have just left.

00:59:50.000 I don't know.

00:59:51.000 And at the time of this taping, I don't think anybody here knows for sure.

00:59:55.000 Tim pulled out a video.

00:59:56.000 Let me tell you something that may surprise you.

00:59:58.000 up at the Blaze if you want to read more about it.

01:00:00.000 And I've received some requests to talk about it, what I think of it, and there have been

01:00:04.000 a few comments, people saying they're looking forward to the show, my thoughts, blah blah

01:00:08.000 blah blah blah blah.

01:00:09.000 Okay.

01:00:10.000 Let me tell you something that may surprise you.

01:00:11.000 I don't take much pleasure in it.

01:00:13.000 Initially, maybe.

01:00:14.000 I thought, okay, that's justice.

01:00:15.000 But if I did, I wouldn't even show it publicly because I'm just, I'm generally not a fan of the end zone dance.

01:00:21.000 Now, let me clarify.

01:00:22.000 Am I a fan of Carlos Maza?

01:00:24.000 Of course not.

01:00:25.000 But my war, my fight, our war here, this team has never been with him.

01:00:31.000 He was a tool used by the real culprit here, which is a giant multi-billion dollar media conglomerate, and more importantly, a complicit system that both allows and encourages.

01:00:40.000 Abuse.

01:00:41.000 And sure, Carlos Maza has been actively pushing to get this channel outright banned, and that's important.

01:00:47.000 Keep in mind, demonetization, which did happen, wasn't enough.

01:00:50.000 They wanted complete banning.

01:00:52.000 Nothing else would suffice.

01:00:54.000 And yeah, listen, that's a scary thing.

01:00:56.000 It was a scary couple of weeks for sure, and that's why it's more important than ever if you want this show to continue to join my club, because the channel could be lights out tomorrow, and, you know, we want to stay in touch with you.

01:01:07.000 Who is Carlos Maza, really, if not for the national platform of Vox?

01:01:12.000 Or of Media Matters, I think, before that.

01:01:15.000 Of all the national interviews, CNN, other cable news outlets, I don't know exactly where he appeared.

01:01:21.000 All of whom, by the way, they have a vested interest in truly independent channels like ours, being removed from social media.

01:01:28.000 Who is Carlos Maza really without that kind of support?

01:01:31.000 And by the way, they need someone like him because they need plausible deniability, right?

01:01:35.000 NBC, they don't want to be seen as a company whose complaints resulted in thousands of channels, independent channels, being demonetized.

01:01:43.000 That's bad PR!

01:01:44.000 And by the way, that happened, and not just to conservative channels.

01:01:47.000 So what did they do?

01:01:47.000 They found a willing participant in someone like Carlos Maza, who they could portray as a victim, and they could have do their bidding for them.

01:01:53.000 And to a degree, it was successful.

01:01:55.000 Yep, we were demonetized here.

01:01:57.000 But they weren't successful in their endgame, which was to continue a stranglehold on the market of information.

01:02:04.000 We're still here.

01:02:05.000 And when the public backlash became to be too much, they wanted to retreat.

01:02:09.000 That's what happened with Vox NBC.

01:02:10.000 And so for them, Carlos Maza had served his purpose.

01:02:15.000 Frankly, they used him.

01:02:17.000 And now it seems like they might be disposing of him.

01:02:19.000 And I think that's sad.

01:02:21.000 Listen, I do want to be clear.

01:02:22.000 I'll protect what's mine, my team, people here, and any person trying to rip it away, absolutely.

01:02:27.000 I will protect it tooth and nail.

01:02:29.000 But I'd never want to see a person destitute or devoid of prospects.

01:02:33.000 Let me paint this for you.

01:02:34.000 What would be the ideal scenario?

01:02:35.000 The ideal scenario would be for...

01:02:38.000 Any totalitarian social justice warrior, right?

01:02:40.000 To see moments like this as life lessons, and for them to maybe recalibrate and find joy and fulfillment in something other than trying to silence voices of dissent with whom they disagree.

01:02:50.000 And I think it's pretty clear that Carlos Maza hasn't been very happy, he said as much on Twitter, and I genuinely don't think it's possible to be a happy person when your life's focus is entirely about someone else and what bothers you about them.

01:03:02.000 So two important things here that I think apply to everyone, any of you out there listening.

01:03:07.000 Hopefully this helps.

01:03:08.000 You can learn from our saga.

01:03:13.000 This is all a life lesson in and of itself.

01:03:14.000 I've talked about it before.

01:03:15.000 One of the greatest things that you can do to live the happy, fulfilling life that you're looking for is stop focusing on what everyone around you is doing.

01:03:22.000 Stop focusing on what someone else is doing.

01:03:24.000 Start focusing on what you need to be doing.

01:03:26.000 Your abilities.

01:03:27.000 That's huge.

01:03:27.000 Your calling.

01:03:28.000 Number two.

01:03:29.000 Please, to anyone watching, listening right now, as news emerges, I just ask you kindly, don't end zone dance.

01:03:36.000 Whatever it is, don't send any mocking tweets to Carlos.

01:03:39.000 Don't rub it in.

01:03:40.000 When we're fighting NBC, I think it's NBC Viacom and Disney Universal.

01:03:44.000 Is it NBC Viacom?

01:03:45.000 Is it Vox and Disney Universal?

01:03:47.000 It's hard because they all just merge.

01:03:49.000 Where are the people who complain about corporations and monopolies when it happens here?

01:03:54.000 So it's NBC Universal or Disney Universal, NBC Viacom, NBC Vox, right?

01:03:59.000 Two billion dollar company.

01:04:00.000 When we're fighting NBC Vox, we're punching up.

01:04:04.000 And that's not only acceptable, but I believe in many cases morally imperative.

01:04:08.000 But when you knock an individual off the leaderboard, you don't keep pummeling them.

01:04:14.000 You've got to respect the tap.

01:04:15.000 And I'm not saying that anyone here has tapped out, but you just don't keep pounding somebody who you've knocked off the leaderboard.

01:04:20.000 There's no reason to do that for a few reasons.

01:04:22.000 For one, it's always prudent to give someone an out.

01:04:26.000 You don't want to back someone against a wall and create desperation where they sit like Count of Monte Cristo, laying low for 30 years, and then they become your count.

01:04:36.000 Edmund Duntess.

01:04:37.000 He pulled one over.

01:04:38.000 That's what... I bet you Chris Cuomo would be... He would follow that one.

01:04:42.000 He would have a problem with Edmund Duntess.

01:04:44.000 Is it Duntess?

01:04:45.000 Was it there?

01:04:46.000 AudioWade, you read books.

01:04:47.000 I don't know.

01:04:48.000 Never read Count of Money, Christo?

01:04:50.000 Here's every single obscure book.

01:04:51.000 It's like 1,200 pages.

01:04:53.000 Really?

01:04:53.000 Yeah.

01:04:54.000 So, let it be known that he can't read long books.

01:04:57.000 His cutoff is $1,199.

01:04:59.000 For him, it's got to be really worth it.

01:05:01.000 That's true.

01:05:02.000 Um, so yeah, you always want to give somebody an out at any point in life, anyone who's your adversary.

01:05:08.000 Once you win, you don't want to keep driving it in because nothing good can come of it.

01:05:12.000 More importantly, it's just the right thing to do.

01:05:14.000 For the same reason that we don't just host random people or any Twitter handle with an egg, you don't pile on and continue to pummel someone after the bell.

01:05:22.000 That's something a bully does.

01:05:24.000 And if we'd be doing that, we'd be turning into the very false accusation that was lobbed against us in the first place.

01:05:30.000 And by the way, it's not just about public perception of you being a bully, but this is as much about you and your own fulfillment in life, your quiet time.

01:05:37.000 You're not going to get anywhere in life by punching down.

01:05:40.000 You just become complacent.

01:05:42.000 So if you've entered the fray and you've decided that you're going to punch, you're going to be in the fight, you're going to be a puncher, punch up.

01:05:48.000 At the very least, your focus is on something bigger and greater than yourself.

01:05:52.000 So, yeah, listen, I want to be clear.

01:05:53.000 When we pass the Young Turks in viewership and subscribership, we're going to do a livestream party.

01:05:57.000 We're going to livestream that shit.

01:05:58.000 We'll make it a whole event.

01:05:59.000 But once it's done, we didn't get $20 million from foreign caliphates, so that'll be a big victory for us.

01:06:06.000 Once it's done, though, don't expect me to don the Cenk outfit anymore.

01:06:10.000 But do expect the network to change tact a little bit and start gunning for us a whole lot more once we pass them.

01:06:16.000 T-Y-T, basically, my name is the one that shan't be spoken, to change tact a little bit and start gunning for us

01:06:16.000 Guess what?

01:06:16.000 I don't care.

01:06:21.000 a whole lot more once we pass them.

01:06:23.000 Guess what?

01:06:23.000 I don't care.

01:06:24.000 And since we've started this show, we've said, you know what?

01:06:27.000 We don't know the ceiling.

01:06:29.000 We're aiming for Kimmel numbers, Fallon numbers.

01:06:30.000 This is a late night show.

01:06:31.000 We've talked about that.

01:06:32.000 The Colberts of the world.

01:06:33.000 If we're going to provide a late night alternative, we want it to be on par.

01:06:36.000 We're not there yet, not necessarily even close, but we have a target, and that's what we'll be aiming for.

01:06:41.000 So until that happens, until the behemoths, they've stopped trying to remove the smaller guys,

01:06:46.000 rather than compete.

01:06:47.000 And that is what's happening.

01:06:48.000 It's big guys trying to remove smaller guys because they don't want to compete in an honest playing field.

01:06:52.000 Until that happens, the war rages on.

01:06:55.000 Until the playing field is level, we're not stopping.

01:06:58.000 And you know what?

01:06:59.000 I think we've all accepted here that we'll never be getting favorable treatment from the tech giants.

01:07:03.000 Some could argue it's actually been quite unfavorable.

01:07:07.000 And so we're just going to have to make our case so strongly, the reach and influence and the quality so undeniable that we're heard.

01:07:14.000 There is no other way.

01:07:15.000 And until that happens, I think everyone here, I say this pretty confidently, we're marching forward.

01:07:19.000 And I'm truly grateful because I can't think of anyone else outside of my team here.

01:07:23.000 And by the way, you, with whom I'd rather storm the castle.

01:07:27.000 But listen, I know we're all passionate.

01:07:30.000 I know we all want to storm the castle.

01:07:32.000 I understand.

01:07:33.000 Do your due diligence, be prudent, but leave the bodies.

01:07:37.000 Don't hoist them up because everyone knows where they lay.

01:07:40.000 We don't need to make a show of it.

01:07:42.000 All right.

01:07:42.000 I'll see you next week.
