00:00:19.000 Oh thanks man, I appreciate it.

00:00:21.000 It made me wonder, at the end of a long week, was this a lie too?

00:00:25.000 But this, now, the Trump presidency, this is what a crisis of leadership looks and feels like.

00:00:32.000 Every week, another scandal.

00:00:34.000 Every week, another coup.

00:00:36.000 This week, it involves Rudy Giuliani.

00:04:01.000 You're a strange animal That's what I know 0.99

00:04:27.000 I know You're a strange animal 0.90

00:04:31.000 I come to follow I'm speedy

00:04:37.000 to scare you This is all I can do today because I had a back spasm in

00:04:43.000 the morning and I could barely move and or walk.

00:04:46.000 So I do this, but it looks like a more active dance with my chair.

00:04:49.000 I do this.

00:04:50.000 He's actually in a wheelchair.

00:04:53.000 Actually, Cordoblack Garrett sits in a wheelchair at his edit bay.

00:04:56.000 He chooses to sit in a wheelchair.

00:04:58.000 Why is that?

00:04:58.000 They made it for comfort.

00:05:00.000 It's long lasting sitting.

00:05:01.000 He's not wrong. 0.53

00:05:02.000 Quick escape.

00:05:03.000 I think that's a gross violation of the special needs labor laws.

00:05:09.000 We have Brian Callan on the show today.

00:05:12.000 We're going to be talking about the New York Times' new 1619 project, and Spike Lee, and the idea that the United States was built on slavery, racism, and genocide.

00:05:22.000 But first, there's this.

00:05:24.000 Donald Trump, don't trust China! 1.00

00:05:25.000 China is an a**hole! 1.00

00:05:27.000 God, true words. 1.00

00:05:30.000 Never spoken.

00:05:31.000 Did you like my flag there?

00:05:33.000 Can we show it one more time?

00:05:35.000 Just one more time.

00:05:36.000 Hit it again! 0.99

00:05:36.000 Donald Trump, don't trust China! 0.99

00:05:38.000 China is an a**hole! 1.00

00:05:40.000 That's what I've been saying! 1.00

00:05:42.000 You get me.

00:05:44.000 You understand me, Ming.

00:05:46.000 I want the unbelief version.

00:05:47.000 I really do.

00:05:48.000 So anyway, question of the day.

00:05:49.000 The left is obviously pivoting from Russian collusion now to Trump racism slavery because election cycle's heating up.

00:05:56.000 Here's a genuine question.

00:05:57.000 Do you think Donald Trump is a racist or do you think there's actually been a rise in racism under Trump?

00:06:02.000 I think he's a lot of things.

00:06:03.000 I think there are a lot of valid criticisms.

00:06:05.000 I don't think he's a racist.

00:06:06.000 I just don't buy it.

00:06:08.000 My half-Asian lawyer Bill Richman is with me.

00:06:10.000 How are you, sir?

00:06:11.000 Wonderful.

00:06:11.000 Glad to be here.

00:06:12.000 The guy who helped me light up Rashid Tlaib's Twitter, but not in a terrorist way, Quarterback Garrett, show him your hood pass.

00:06:17.000 What's up, dawgs?

00:06:18.000 And G. Morgan Jr., what's up?

00:06:19.000 How you doing, man?

00:06:20.000 You don't have a wine of the day?

00:06:20.000 I don't have a wine of the day, I know, it's weird.

00:06:22.000 Today's wine of the day is Percocet.

00:06:24.000 He's going in for surgery, so you won't be with us next week.

00:06:30.000 No, I know, I'm gonna be on my back.

00:06:32.000 As much of a hard time.

00:06:33.000 Stop it.

00:06:34.000 Yeah, I know.

00:06:34.000 We're not going to go right away.

00:06:35.000 We started off with the Chinese guy.

00:06:37.000 I don't think we need to go right to dirty jokes.

00:06:38.000 We'll let him take the brunt.

00:06:41.000 But I wish you the best.

00:06:41.000 I really do hope that you recover quickly.

00:06:43.000 I do too.

00:06:43.000 And that you, maybe afterwards, you won't be weak as a kitten.

00:06:46.000 Leading the news!

00:06:48.000 I'd like to be able to feel my right leg, that's all I want.

00:06:50.000 Alyssa Milano opened up about two abortions that she had in 1993, and that's two more in the same year than someone who had no abortions. 1.00

00:06:58.000 If you're doing the math.

00:06:59.000 The former actress, this comes to us from people, so you know it's reliable, the former actress stated she had not had the two abortions had she not, sorry, life would be completely lacking all its great joys, and she, quote, would never have been able To be free to be myself.

00:07:15.000 Wow.

00:07:15.000 I've never been free to be myself.

00:07:17.000 Wow. 1.00

00:07:17.000 By herself, she means angry whore. 1.00

00:07:20.000 By the way. 1.00

00:07:21.000 In her defense, she understood pregnancy to be impossible from a casting couch.

00:07:24.000 How do you get- Oh my god.

00:07:25.000 She said she was using birth control two pregnancies in a year.

00:07:28.000 What was your diaphragm a powdered donut?

00:07:32.000 The negative space of the donut.

00:07:33.000 Yes!

00:07:34.000 What is she talking about?

00:07:36.000 Charmed?

00:07:37.000 She never would have been able to film that show, Charmed.

00:07:40.000 It just shows a complete lack of... Not worth it.

00:07:42.000 Yeah.

00:07:42.000 What was it?

00:07:42.000 Gone Overboard with Ray Liotta?

00:07:44.000 Oh my gosh.

00:07:46.000 So many bad ones.

00:07:47.000 I mean, like, it shows a complete lack of compassion.

00:07:50.000 And has she never met someone with a child who's just like, I can't believe every day is a new adventure and I'm overjoyed.

00:07:56.000 Like, there's no joy possible.

00:07:58.000 Yeah.

00:07:59.000 Like, if she would have had the baby, and it was a baby, she would have melted and loved it.

00:08:03.000 I mean, look, there's a silver lining here, which is that there's no baby Alyssa Milano walking around, right?

00:08:09.000 I mean, you know... DON'T TRUST BABY ALYSSA MILANO! 1.00

00:08:11.000 BABY ALYSSA IS A S***HOLE! 1.00

00:08:14.000 Does she have kids? 1.00

00:08:15.000 Now?

00:08:16.000 I hope not.

00:08:16.000 I have no idea.

00:08:17.000 If she does, they're probably going to need some serious therapy. 0.99

00:08:20.000 Yeah.

00:08:21.000 Another tough... But mom, you said you would have never been fulfilled or been able to be yourself.

00:08:24.000 No, no, but I didn't mean about you. 0.97

00:08:26.000 Mommy's crazy! 1.00

00:08:27.000 I tell you, your mom is a**hole! 1.00

00:08:30.000 Another top story, by the way, it appears that President Trump, this was all over the news, he's growing increasingly frustrated with Fox News. 0.99

00:08:37.000 This comes from Politico after some critical coverage, unfavorable poll numbers from what used to be his preferred network.

00:08:42.000 The president said, there's something going on.

00:08:45.000 Fox has changed and I'm not happy with it.

00:08:48.000 So it's gotten worse over the week, with a source actually telling us that, I think an aide, with a source it's usually just an aide.

00:08:55.000 Yeah, an unnamed source.

00:08:57.000 An unnamed aide, but apparently an aide did tell President Trump that if you want something done right, and he took the advice, do it yourself.

00:09:06.000 Hi, President Trump, and welcome to the real no-spin zone.

00:09:10.000 Okay, frankly, I have not been very happy with this network.

00:09:14.000 They've said that it's no-spin, but there has honestly been so much spin.

00:09:18.000 It's crazy.

00:09:19.000 Okay, not here, though.

00:09:20.000 No spin.

00:09:22.000 No.

00:09:22.000 Now, if you want fake news, go watch that lying melty face, Chris Wallace, okay?

00:09:27.000 But here's just the real news, with no spit. 0.60

00:09:30.000 You hear me?

00:09:30.000 None.

00:09:30.000 Now, some people want to talk about the economy, but the lying fake news wants to claim we're in a recession.

00:09:36.000 They don't want you to talk about China and...

00:09:40.000 Knock it off.

00:09:41.000 Okay, frankly, there is to be zero spin on this show.

00:09:44.000 None.

00:09:45.000 And what you're doing, truthfully, okay, is not that.

00:09:49.000 No, as it relates to the economy of China and trade.

00:09:52.000 Cut it out, okay?

00:09:54.000 No.

00:09:54.000 Cut it out, okay?

00:09:56.000 This is a zone with not even some spitting.

00:09:59.000 Okay, none.

00:09:59.000 Now, I think we have Bret Baier standing by.

00:10:03.000 Where's Bret?

00:10:06.000 Oh.

00:10:07.000 I see what's going on here.

00:10:08.000 It's a spin mutiny. 0.81

00:10:10.000 Okay, real funny.

00:10:11.000 Frankly, so funny.

00:10:13.000 Frankly, I forgot to laugh.

00:10:14.000 Because I was never going to laugh anyway.

00:10:17.000 You like jokes?

00:10:18.000 Everyone here likes jokes?

00:10:20.000 Okay, here's one.

00:10:21.000 You're fired.

00:10:22.000 You.

00:10:24.000 It definitely you.

00:10:25.000 That was expected.

00:10:34.000 Uhh... this.

00:10:36.000 You do get sick spinning.

00:10:38.000 Half-Asian Bill seems unsettlingly... No, no, I mean job security, you know? 1.00

00:10:47.000 This is sad.

00:10:47.000 In other words, the inventor of the computer password actually has died at age 93.

00:10:51.000 For his request, his epitaph will include at least one number, one capital letter, and one special character.

00:10:57.000 Oh my gosh.

00:10:58.000 Is this the same guy who makes us change our password every 90 days?

00:11:01.000 I'm a little bit pissed off.

00:11:03.000 I can only come up with so many good ones.

00:11:04.000 They go in threes because another happened this week.

00:11:07.000 The inventor of the pocket calculator died as well.

00:11:09.000 Age of 60, sorry, 86.

00:11:10.000 Heart and kidney failure.

00:11:14.000 And Lotto with Crowder has obtained a picture of his headstone in question.

00:11:19.000 When it's upside down, there are so many possibilities.

00:11:22.000 It's a classic. 0.70

00:11:22.000 Namely ones that revolve around boobs. 0.70

00:11:26.000 That's pretty much the only possibility.

00:11:28.000 Switching gears now to the race for the White House, Elizabeth Warren addressed a Native American forum talking about her past transgressions, admitting that she had made some mistakes. 0.76

00:11:39.000 I know that I have made mistakes.

00:11:42.000 I am sorry for harm I have caused.

00:11:45.000 Can someone get this broad a smallpox blanket?

00:11:48.000 It is just... If you ever needed one... She's so whispery in that... She's like... That's how you know it's sincere.

00:11:55.000 For her, that's pillow talk.

00:11:55.000 Yeah.

00:11:57.000 Don't trust 1,064 Native Americans! 1.00

00:11:58.000 She a**hole! 1.00

00:12:02.000 Hey, the Native Americans, you know, bearing straight, they're Haitians. 0.99

00:12:04.000 They're our second cousins.

00:12:06.000 That's true.

00:12:07.000 By the way, to prove her mettle, after the speech, Warren smoked a peace pipe, cleaned up at the craps table, and scalped Cory Booker.

00:12:12.000 So it seems like she's... That's a silver lining, really.

00:12:14.000 And she said Indian, like, five times in her speech.

00:12:17.000 Did she really?

00:12:17.000 Yeah.

00:12:18.000 I thought that was... Maybe those in the 1,164th Native American community can say Indian.

00:12:18.000 I'm like, what?

00:12:27.000 Oh, really?

00:12:28.000 It's like that?

00:12:28.000 I'm ready.

00:12:29.000 I'm ready for the counter protest.

00:12:30.000 Let's go.

00:12:31.000 Right, and by the way, she's the most viable Democratic candidate in the place? 1.00

00:12:35.000 Really?

00:12:36.000 She's about as viable as Alitha Milano's baby.

00:12:39.000 D.O.A.!

00:12:40.000 Asshole! 1.00

00:12:41.000 Well, at least you don't have to deal with Cory Booker anymore, I guess. 1.00

00:12:45.000 That's fine.

00:12:46.000 So, another news of the state of California is, and by the way, we're going to be talking about New York Times, slavery, genocide, Spike Lee, notorious anti-Semite, but we're going to California here.

00:12:54.000 This is the beauty of your imagination, is we can whisk you to faraway lands.

00:12:58.000 Like California.

00:12:59.000 Reportedly, they're planning to build a bridge over a major freeway so wildlife has room to roam.

00:13:04.000 This comes from HuffPo.

00:13:05.000 The plan is so big cats, deer, lizards, other creatures, including cougars, have a safe route to open space and better access to food and potential mates.

00:13:14.000 Officials in California are hoping this will fix both their endangered species problem, as well as their annoying cyclist pandemic. 0.89

00:13:20.000 So that seems like a way to dig yourself out of your financial hole, California. 0.97

00:13:24.000 You have people shitting That's how you solve it. 0.95

00:13:30.000 I love it. 0.99

00:13:32.000 That sounds like a meal right there.

00:13:35.000 It's brilliant.

00:13:36.000 By the way, so you remember watching the West Wing?

00:13:38.000 The West Wing actually did this as part of one of their episodes.

00:13:41.000 It was like the Wolves Only Highway from Pluie, right? 0.55

00:13:44.000 Or whatever it was.

00:13:45.000 They did it as parody and they're Dems and they were laughing at it.

00:13:48.000 Now this is California going, yeah, that actually sounds like a good idea.

00:13:51.000 We should do that.

00:13:52.000 By the way, have you been watching Billions?

00:13:53.000 So, in international news, a waiter in France was shot dead for being too slow.

00:14:04.000 Comes from The Guardian.

00:14:05.000 Witness said the gunman lost his temper as his sandwich wasn't prepared quickly enough and fled the scene.

00:14:09.000 This happened in France.

00:14:10.000 Any description of the assailant was completely omitted from the reporting, which made it difficult for the police sketch artist, but he gave it the old college try.

00:14:17.000 So it seems like that's a safe Mmm.

00:14:19.000 I could find that guy.

00:14:21.000 In the attacker's defense, the French attacker's defense, he had enough time to head over to the mosque, buy a gun, 0.82

00:14:26.000 get back to the restaurant, and the sandwich still wasn't ready.

00:14:29.000 To be fair, he had a leg up because he picked the gun up at the mosque.

00:14:35.000 So the old mosque show loophole strikes again. 0.95

00:14:38.000 Just like the tortoise.

00:14:39.000 Look, I'm sorry, but if you've been to France, that might be a justifiable homicide. 1.00

00:14:43.000 They're incredibly slow.

00:14:44.000 You mean just all of France?

00:14:46.000 Yes.

00:14:47.000 They're incredibly slow.

00:14:48.000 The service is like, you've got to just be crazy slow.

00:14:51.000 You went to France on your honeymoon?

00:14:53.000 Slow! 0.99

00:14:53.000 Yes. 0.99

00:14:54.000 Yeah, I don't know why.

00:14:55.000 Well, yeah.

00:14:56.000 The counterbalance, the honeymoon, which was too quick.

00:14:59.000 Have you been to France?

00:14:59.000 I have not been to France.

00:15:01.000 Nope.

00:15:01.000 That is not true.

00:15:02.000 Ask my wife. 0.99

00:15:04.000 Don't ask my wife. 0.85

00:15:05.000 Speaking of Europe, finally a town in Wales.

00:15:08.000 I'll ask Lyle later.

00:15:09.000 A town in Wales is installing $200,000 anti-sex toilets.

00:15:14.000 This comes from Barstool Sports because We just want to use them as a source to throw them a little bit of support these days.

00:15:21.000 The public toilets have weight sensors that can determine if more than one person has entered, and additional sensors are designed to pick up activity described as violent.

00:15:32.000 So if this plan fails to stop bathroom intercourse, plan B is to roll out the Brian Stelter sex scare pro. 0.64

00:15:39.000 I am not having sex in that stall. 0.99

00:15:40.000 Nothing will dry you up and make you limp like Ryan Stelter's scarecrow. 0.99

00:15:45.000 Oh, I could wonder why I have a primetime show.

00:15:51.000 So, describing silence.

00:15:53.000 Totally straight, by the way. 0.51

00:15:54.000 By the way, Mexican food can sometimes make me have a **** experience in a bathroom. 0.98

00:15:58.000 This is just disgusting. 0.97

00:15:59.000 I mean, come on, that's true of everybody. 0.70

00:16:00.000 This is a family show.

00:16:01.000 I don't need to think about this.

00:16:02.000 What does **** mean?

00:16:05.000 Hey, what's this thing next to my mug?

00:16:07.000 That's a cigar button.

00:16:09.000 I'm gonna hit it.

00:16:10.000 Billable hours, Bill.

00:16:12.000 Billable hours.

00:16:27.000 Billable hours, Bill.

00:16:32.000 Billable hours.

00:16:33.000 That's what we're doing.

00:16:34.000 This is me.

00:16:35.000 That's the slappy slap maneuver. 1.00

00:16:38.000 That's ancient Chinese technique right there, the Slappy Slap Maneuver. 1.00

00:16:41.000 He was the first, I was the first to have a dojo in Japan.

00:16:45.000 You stole it!

00:16:47.000 From someone who had it.

00:16:48.000 He married a woman whose father had a dojo and was retiring, and then he married Kelly LeBrock while he was married to this Japanese woman.

00:16:54.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:16:54.000 Oh wow.

00:16:55.000 That's thinking ahead.

00:16:56.000 Trivia, he said, I don't think That's true.

00:16:59.000 Yeah, it is, Steven.

00:17:01.000 I'd watch my tongue.

00:17:03.000 Bad things happen.

00:17:04.000 Really?

00:17:04.000 What are you going to do?

00:17:05.000 Run through my north wall like you did to the guy who was having cock fighting? 0.60

00:17:08.000 And then Steven Seagal and that episode?

00:17:10.000 Anyway, sorry, we've gotten off track.

00:17:11.000 Wow. 0.99

00:17:11.000 He's just a horrible person. 0.99

00:17:12.000 But I digress.

00:17:13.000 Trivia contest winner, by the way, before we get to the $69,000 is Regina C, I don't have her last name, who correctly identified that her former office used to be a massage parlor. 0.99

00:17:22.000 Congrats.

00:17:23.000 That is 100% true.

00:17:26.000 We found out because our neighboring businesses, they came in like, what are you guys doing?

00:17:31.000 And they saw the green screen.

00:17:32.000 Guarantee you they thought we were shooting hardcore pornography.

00:17:35.000 I was wondering what the smell was.

00:17:38.000 That was you.

00:17:39.000 That was General Tso's chicken.

00:17:42.000 All right, Spike Lee.

00:17:43.000 There was an interview.

00:17:44.000 I want to sort of set up this clip first.

00:17:46.000 There's a little bit of context that needs to be understood.

00:17:47.000 And I really want to know, do you genuinely think that Donald Trump could be a racist?

00:17:51.000 Do you think racism has been on the rise since Donald Trump?

00:17:54.000 I don't buy it.

00:17:55.000 I've talked about this, but it seems like now the rhetoric is heating up even more, where they're trying to paint him as a racist.

00:18:00.000 So the 1619 Project.

00:18:02.000 It's a project from the New York Times, and it's designed to write a series of pieces showing that everything, basically the basis of America, is the result of slavery, genocide, all of it.

00:18:13.000 Everything bad.

00:18:14.000 And they've got a number of high-profile celebrities, from Spike Lee to Oprah, trying to promote it.

00:18:18.000 Now, some leaked internal discussions actually show the decision was made to shift the narrative away from the failed Russia story.

00:18:24.000 So now they're going, Russia didn't work, let's pivot back to racist.

00:18:27.000 After Mueller failed to find any collusion, the editor-in-chief, New York Times, supposedly at a loss how to cover Trump, so he decided, all right, let's just paint all of America's history as racist and say it's more racist now than ever.

00:18:39.000 It's more racist now than slavery because Trump.

00:18:42.000 Couldn't possibly be honest.

00:18:43.000 Right.

00:18:44.000 So it's not really about slavery.

00:18:44.000 I don't know.

00:18:46.000 I want to be clear about this.

00:18:47.000 That's how they're trying to sort of frame this.

00:18:49.000 They just need something to make President Trump look bad, by their own admission.

00:18:53.000 And they're asking this question, like, why are we even asking anymore if he's a white supremacist?

00:18:53.000 Right.

00:18:57.000 They're just saying it.

00:18:58.000 They're not trying to paint him as a racist.

00:18:59.000 They're saying he is.

00:19:01.000 That's what they're doing.

00:19:02.000 What do you think, Half-Asian Bill? 0.99

00:19:03.000 Do you feel like you've been marginalized more?

00:19:07.000 My white part has been more marginalized, yes, that's for sure.

00:19:11.000 Look, there's no question that slavery is a part of our history as a country.

00:19:15.000 Whether it defines the nation, and to say that is to say that every person who was a part of it... Oh, did you fight as part of the Union Army?

00:19:25.000 You must have also been part of slavery as well.

00:19:27.000 Right? 0.99

00:19:27.000 I mean, there's no nuance to it, other than just to say, hey, I don't want you to forget, every one of you is a piece of s**t. I mean, that's essentially, that's this tagline of 1619, right? 0.99

00:19:37.000 Everything you enjoy should taste like a**hole! 1.00

00:19:41.000 Judge Washington, don't trust a**hole! 0.64

00:19:42.000 You can use that argument for everything, right? 0.83

00:19:44.000 There's a sore spot, you still can't ride the Amtrak.

00:19:46.000 Yeah, but it makes the assumption that the United States would not have been a great country without slavery.

00:19:51.000 So we had all the natural resources, we had great navigable rivers, which turns out to be very important, and we had a great system of government that was growing while... Actually, Matt, we could do a whole segment on this if people go back through the archives, where actually the South was hindered by slavery.

00:20:05.000 If you look at the economic developments that happened in the North, it didn't happen in the South, and that's because slave labor doesn't tend to put in... they're not burning the candle at both ends, and they're not necessarily doing an honest job.

00:20:14.000 And I'm not saying that This is important to you.

00:20:16.000 Because so much, we're not taught this in school.

00:20:16.000 It's very important to me.

00:20:17.000 should have sabotaged and a lot of them did but if you look at the developments

00:20:20.000 they were hampered by slavery. All right so this is just I just want to make sure

00:20:23.000 that we set this up so you understand why Spike Lee is making the rounds and

00:20:27.000 is it on Anderson Cooper's 360 to plug this 1619 project you'll be hearing a

00:20:32.000 lot about it let's start this off. This is important it's very important to me

00:20:37.000 because so much we're not taught this in school right you know we're still dealing

00:20:41.000 Christopher Columbus and all that other stuff.

00:20:43.000 What?

00:20:44.000 Yes we are.

00:20:46.000 Everyone is taught about slavery in school.

00:20:47.000 I'm sorry, wait, is Christopher Columbus not real?

00:20:49.000 It's not a real thing.

00:20:51.000 He didn't land on Plymouth Rock!

00:20:54.000 Wait, so there was American slavery in 1492, that's what was happening?

00:20:58.000 How history works, it's how you teach it.

00:21:00.000 One thing, and then the next thing, and then the next thing.

00:21:02.000 I think the Indians were enslaving other Indians. 0.87

00:21:04.000 It's almost as though it's linear.

00:21:08.000 Wow, I must... Spike Lee, tell me more.

00:21:10.000 Is it my meds, or does that sound... Well, the good thing is he's going to be telling you a whole lot more.

00:21:14.000 Question number two today, who did not learn about slavery in school?

00:21:18.000 I think a lot of people aren't taught that we are uniquely responsible for ending slavery in a lot of ways in the modern world, but let's go to the next clip.

00:21:25.000 This country, United States of America, was built upon the genocide of Native people and slavery.

00:21:31.000 I mean, that's a fact.

00:21:33.000 Well, you can say that.

00:21:35.000 You can say that!

00:21:36.000 That's a fact!

00:21:37.000 That's going to be a no from me.

00:21:38.000 And by the way, no one wants to minimize here the atrocities that were committed against Native Americans back then.

00:21:38.000 That's a fact.

00:21:44.000 We called them Indians, and as Elizabeth Warren says, Redskins.

00:21:46.000 But she's 1,164th, so it's okay.

00:21:49.000 She can say that.

00:21:49.000 Native Americans, one thing people don't understand, They were mostly wiped, we've talked about this so many times, I'm sorry I have to repeat it, they were wiped out through diseases that the settlers brought, inadvertently, because these people had not developed an immunity to them.

00:21:59.000 Out of the, I think, 250,000 natives, Columbus' first stop, right, in one of the Americas, Hispaniola, I should do the, uh, Brian Calano, teach me how to pronounce that later.

00:22:07.000 New diseases wiped out over 230,000 of the indigenous people by 1517.

00:22:11.000 That's nearly 95% of their population.

00:22:14.000 A big part of that, by the way, they hadn't domesticated the horse.

00:22:17.000 Right?

00:22:18.000 This idea, if you're coming into contact with a domesticated horse for the first time, this whole idea of bow and arrow, horseback culture, it's a lie.

00:22:23.000 They hadn't domesticated the horse and they didn't use the wheel.

00:22:27.000 Yeah.

00:22:27.000 And by the way, when we come and like accidentally killed 95% of you just by shaking your hand, it's our bad.

00:22:32.000 Sorry.

00:22:33.000 We didn't even know what germs were.

00:22:35.000 My bad.

00:22:35.000 I mean part of it is like this is the part where again we've talked about this before where there's there's just a lack of nuance when you go to the 1619 project and all you want to focus on is one part of history that involves slavery to use that to push a political agenda today right yeah then then you've ignored the fact that sure was slavery part of our history did slavery You know, set certain things in motion in this country and some would argue it still has some reverberating effects to this point.

00:22:59.000 I think we just disagree on how much effect it still has today and what needs to be dealt with it.

00:23:05.000 Same with the Native American population. 0.97

00:23:06.000 I mean, there's unquestionably atrocities occurred, but to say it's only atrocities is to ignore the rest of the history.

00:23:13.000 What I have a problem with is the term genocide.

00:23:15.000 This is a problem.

00:23:17.000 Elizabeth Warren is a perfect example.

00:23:19.000 More people with a percentage of Native American than ever.

00:23:23.000 And that's because most of it was due to interbreeding.

00:23:24.000 We didn't want to kill all of them.

00:23:26.000 No. 0.99

00:23:26.000 We wanted to marry them. 0.99

00:23:26.000 We wanted to have population. 0.99

00:23:28.000 But let's look through the most bloody battles.

00:23:30.000 These certainly did happen.

00:23:31.000 Wounded knee you probably know about because you learned about it in school.

00:23:34.000 It's not taught.

00:23:35.000 150 to 350 Native Americans killed or wounded.

00:23:37.000 There were also 25 American soldiers killed, 39 wounded.

00:23:40.000 Listen, it's a little different from a genocide.

00:23:43.000 If you're talking about the Holocaust, like, well, you know what? 0.96

00:23:45.000 The Jews got their licks in too. 0.99

00:23:48.000 That's not what a genocide is. 0.99

00:23:49.000 Like, well, you know, they took out six million, but I tell you what, those Jews, they pulled off a couple of million. 1.00

00:23:54.000 You know, there was a give and take.

00:23:55.000 No, that's what genocide is.

00:23:56.000 It's a complete extermination.

00:23:57.000 By the way, sometimes massacres went the other way.

00:23:59.000 1622, is it pronounced?

00:24:03.000 I don't know.

00:24:05.000 Indians.

00:24:06.000 They had no casualties in this battle.

00:24:08.000 They slaughtered 347 English settlers.

00:24:10.000 Again, that's not the way genocide usually goes.

00:24:12.000 And don't forget, this is something people don't remember.

00:24:14.000 We don't teach this in history.

00:24:15.000 Native American tribes were warring with each other before we got here.

00:24:19.000 Lots and lots.

00:24:20.000 They were incredibly violent.

00:24:22.000 To go south, how do you think Cortes defeated 500 conquistadors?

00:24:26.000 No!

00:24:26.000 He enlisted the help of other native tribes.

00:24:28.000 We tossed them some fire water and said, listen, These guys have been enslaving you to collect their gold for centuries.

00:24:33.000 How about you try the guys with the metal hats?

00:24:37.000 Well, and when we show up and we have kind of peaceful relationships with some tribes and then we start to move, you guys were already warring.

00:24:43.000 What you're really doing is basically saying we're really pissed off that when you came in, you were better at war than we were.

00:24:49.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:24:49.000 We were already trying to take each other's land and I was succeeding and now you kicked my butt and I'm really pissed about that. 0.99

00:24:56.000 Here's what I will have to say is that if you jump in and you ask the question of, did we have a right to come in and take this land?

00:25:03.000 I don't necessarily know that there's any particular more or less right between The people who are already here, is it a first mover's right?

00:25:09.000 I mean, that's the part where the narrative falls apart when you hear people say, well, these were the indigenous people.

00:25:15.000 Oh, okay, so we don't care about the indigenous species that were here before those indigenous people came here. 0.98

00:25:20.000 Are they important?

00:25:21.000 Oh, well, yeah, sure, they are more important.

00:25:23.000 And then you're just saying, okay, great, well, so we should just get rid of all people. 0.99

00:25:26.000 Every single person should leave this country.

00:25:27.000 It just falls apart if you follow that logic.

00:25:29.000 Is it something people don't understand?

00:25:31.000 Contact will be made at some point.

00:25:32.000 So let's say we never did back then.

00:25:34.000 Today, a chopper or a plane goes overhead.

00:25:36.000 Guess what?

00:25:37.000 Now it's been made.

00:25:38.000 There's going to have to be a clash of civilizations.

00:25:40.000 When there's a more advanced civilization, they meet, either they adapt, either they become a part of this news, or They get wiped out.

00:25:48.000 That's what has happened always.

00:25:50.000 We're in a unique time in history in that we don't go take over countries that are inferior, like Canada.

00:25:56.000 We don't do that because we've advanced beyond it.

00:25:58.000 But this is the way it worked throughout the globe for all time.

00:26:02.000 Yeah, atrocities, but the idea that America is uniquely responsible for it, that's the problem I have.

00:26:07.000 But again, this is all a thin veil to get to the real reason, which is the 1619 Project.

00:26:13.000 Is Donald Trump a white supremacist?

00:26:15.000 Why are we still asking, is this guy a white supremacist?

00:26:20.000 I mean, like... To you, that is a... It's not even a question anymore.

00:26:25.000 Oh! 0.60

00:26:26.000 Oh, he's just said okay.

00:26:27.000 I mean, the Muslim man... I thought the clip froze. 0.98

00:26:29.000 ...all Mexicans are rapists, murderers, drug dealers. 1.00

00:26:33.000 I mean, it's... That guy... Did he go... Before going to Anderson Cooper, was he talking to his wife? 1.00

00:26:39.000 Spike Lee froze.

00:26:39.000 He's like, no, listen, I need my heroin and Daymanda glasses.

00:26:45.000 Why are we even asking if he's a white supremacist?

00:26:48.000 Because most people aren't.

00:26:50.000 Cooper I could fit you in my back pocket what are those glasses?

00:26:55.000 Why are we even asking if he's a white supremacist?

00:26:58.000 Because most people aren't.

00:27:00.000 Only you are.

00:27:01.000 And you're answering your own question by the way.

00:27:04.000 And then he talks about, how can you have so many inaccuracies in one sentence?

00:27:08.000 It's tough. 1.00

00:27:08.000 The Muslim ban, all Mexicans are racist. 1.00

00:27:10.000 OK, let's just go through this. 0.99

00:27:11.000 And then he goes on to talk about the good people on both sides.

00:27:13.000 Listen, there was no Muslim ban.

00:27:15.000 There was never a Muslim ban.

00:27:17.000 All Muslims were never banned from the United States.

00:27:18.000 What you're talking about is an immigration ban on seven countries that were identified as countries of concern from Barack Obama, and they were put on a temporary ban.

00:27:26.000 By the way, Trump enforced it for 90 days.

00:27:27.000 Obama enforced it for six months with Iraq.

00:27:30.000 There's no Muslim ban.

00:27:31.000 There's never been a Muslim ban.

00:27:33.000 Stop it.

00:27:34.000 Okay?

00:27:35.000 And this is what bothers me.

00:27:36.000 I mean, you know this as a lawyer.

00:27:38.000 They teach this to politicians, too. 0.98

00:27:39.000 Like, obviously he's being disingenuous a little bit here, but he could have at least just sort of curbed his language by just saying, you know, he said that Mexicans are rapists. 0.99

00:27:49.000 Instead, he said, saying all Mexicans are rapists. 0.99

00:27:52.000 You're just making it too easy, sweetheart. 1.00

00:27:54.000 I know. 1.00

00:27:56.000 All Mexicans are rapists. 1.00

00:27:57.000 Really? 1.00

00:27:57.000 Did he say that? 1.00

00:27:58.000 That's the first thing to tell a politician is don't use words like all, absolutely, completely, totally.

00:28:04.000 And that's why when we do it on this show, we do it by design.

00:28:07.000 If we're 100% certain, like making sure that half-Asian Bill Richman gets me unblocked from Rashida Tlaib's personal account. 0.99

00:28:13.000 All Mexicans are rapists. 1.00

00:28:14.000 Donald Trump was talking about MS-13. 1.00

00:28:17.000 People who rape and kill women and children, that's what they do! 1.00

00:28:20.000 It's crazy. 1.00

00:28:20.000 That's their calling card. 1.00

00:28:22.000 They're the killing women and children bandits. 0.90

00:28:24.000 By the way, did you see Anderson Cooper push back on that? 0.68

00:28:26.000 Did we not?

00:28:27.000 Oh, he didn't have that.

00:28:28.000 Yeah, no, we have it next.

00:28:30.000 So this is the next one. 0.92

00:28:31.000 Now he goes on to the one that they paired a lot, that Donald Trump, his justification, along with all Mexicans are rapists and the Muslim ban, is that he praised neo-Nazis, to hear Spike Lee tell it. 0.97

00:28:40.000 He can't make a decision between What's white and wrong? 0.98

00:28:47.000 What's love and hate?

00:28:48.000 There's both people.

00:28:49.000 I mean, that's kind of behind this.

00:28:50.000 I mean, that quote, that's going to be attached to him.

00:28:55.000 He's going to be on the wrong side of history.

00:28:57.000 And that's the first thing they're going to say, that quote.

00:28:59.000 It's interesting because there's a lot, there's now a movement among some Republicans to kind of rewrite the history of what the president said.

00:29:06.000 What?

00:29:09.000 Rewrite history?

00:29:10.000 Yes, we are attempting to rewrite history by simply showing a clip of Donald Trump condemning neo-Nazis in his own words.

00:29:17.000 And you had people, and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally, but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.

00:29:29.000 You said it twice.

00:29:31.000 Wow, it's like all those times when I hear on CNN that Donald Trump has never called out neo-Nazis or white supremacists.

00:29:40.000 It's like this video doesn't exist!

00:29:42.000 Look at the amazing made-up videos that people are able to create in the Korean industry.

00:29:47.000 He condemned neo-Nazis the same amount of times in one phrase as Spike Lee was wrong.

00:29:54.000 Well, but here's the thing.

00:29:54.000 So Anderson Cooper didn't push back on the Mexicans' comment.

00:29:57.000 He's a journalist, I thought.

00:29:59.000 I thought he was trying to get to the truth.

00:30:01.000 Didn't push back on that.

00:30:02.000 And then carried his water on this comment and said, yeah, they're trying to rewrite history.

00:30:07.000 Right, Spike?

00:30:08.000 Right?

00:30:08.000 I'm cool, right?

00:30:09.000 I like your glasses.

00:30:10.000 I don't think he said that, but I'm sure he did.

00:30:12.000 He probably tried to lift him.

00:30:14.000 He winked.

00:30:15.000 I saw him wink.

00:30:15.000 There was a wink.

00:30:16.000 There was a wink.

00:30:18.000 That pisses me off!

00:30:19.000 He's a journalist!

00:30:19.000 It was a wink between guys with glasses.

00:30:21.000 G. Morgan Jr.

00:30:22.000 was there too.

00:30:24.000 Is this a genre of wink?

00:30:25.000 Son of a gun!

00:30:25.000 I don't know.

00:30:25.000 I don't know. I don't understand what's going on.

00:30:26.000 All right.

00:30:27.000 So, by the way, oh, I forgot.

00:30:28.000 Hit the notification bell if you're subscribed because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot.

00:30:31.000 Subscribe on iTunes, leave us a rating, and most importantly, do join Mug Club.

00:30:35.000 Not only do you get the full daily show, like hours and hours of content that we can never air on YouTube, but my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richman, is very expensive.

00:30:44.000 So when we're doing our legal stuff with big tech or even representatives like Rashida Tlaib, just understand MugClub supports that, especially since we've been demonetized.

00:30:52.000 And it's a show.

00:30:52.000 You'll get to see it too.

00:30:53.000 You know what, just one thing to that point is people only really see like the tip of the iceberg of all the things that we have to fight with on the back end of things.

00:31:01.000 It's a constant, it's a constant battle.

00:31:03.000 So Mug Club is what allows us to continue.

00:31:05.000 I mean, how many tens of thousands just in basic paperwork last year of people making false claims?

00:31:10.000 I mean, there were, well, between people stealing content, between people accusing us of stealing content, just this week there was 14.

00:31:16.000 Yeah.

00:31:17.000 Wow.

00:31:18.000 You know, just having to deal with that.

00:31:20.000 I mean, it's, it's... Glad we're keeping you busy, buddy.

00:31:22.000 A big part of before the show, if Bill Richman, half-Asian Bill Tries to come to my office and say, no, no, it's only gonna make me mad. 0.99

00:31:29.000 Today, you're being sued by an angry tranny who thinks that you're guilty of hate speech and claims the socialism shirt is actually her face. 0.99

00:31:42.000 I know it's not true, but it might just be worth it to pay this crazy person to go away. 0.98

00:31:46.000 I'm like, ah, right. 0.75

00:31:48.000 Mug clubbers made it happen. 1.00

00:31:49.000 All right, let's go out to the thank you mug club.

00:31:53.000 Otherwise we would just be, we would be crossing the finish line.

00:31:55.000 Like in the movie, was it Small Soldiers?

00:31:58.000 With the gorgles or whatever it was.

00:32:00.000 And the guys trying to walk and they're all jumping on.

00:32:02.000 That would be us just with just hundreds of angry trannies and Vox employees trying to do this show if it were not for Happy and Bill Richmond looking over our shoulder. 1.00

00:32:11.000 Next clip talking, now we go directly to the KKK with Damon and Spike Lee. 0.95

00:32:15.000 They're not even hiding is You know, at least the KKK people are too cowards to actually show their face. 0.77

00:32:21.000 Because the guy in the White House gave him the dog whistles, like, come on out! 0.74

00:32:26.000 So, our guys in the White House, so we're good!

00:32:29.000 I don't think that's how a dog whistle works.

00:32:31.000 It's more like, come on out!

00:32:35.000 It's a silent whistle.

00:32:36.000 Only dogs can hear it.

00:32:37.000 I know, he thinks they're handing the whistles. 1.00

00:32:38.000 Here, let's... Silly. 0.99

00:32:41.000 Sometimes I like to have a laugh. 0.99

00:32:45.000 President Trump is telling the KKK to go for it, as you say.

00:32:51.000 Any examples?

00:32:53.000 Any examples of dog whistles?

00:32:54.000 You know what?

00:32:55.000 Any pictures of Donald Trump even with an actual whistle?

00:32:58.000 I'll take that!

00:33:01.000 I think what we should know is remember from that clip with Trump where he was condemning the neo-nazis and the white nationalists and then it wasn't just enough to do it once but he did it again and so after doing it twice I definitely got the read between the lines is I love neo-nazis and white nationalists.

00:33:16.000 That was what I mean that's what I got.

00:33:18.000 Hey hey I had my fingers crossed.

00:33:25.000 Anderson 360, more like 160.

00:33:30.000 What?

00:33:31.000 Epic.

00:33:32.000 It's going over your head.

00:33:34.000 That seems like a kind of insult.

00:33:36.000 Actually, it's almost turning all the way around.

00:33:38.000 All of these examples can be easily debunked with a quick Google search or a clip just as quickly as the 77 cents on the dollar pay gap myth.

00:33:46.000 So if it's so obvious, why is this even a question anymore?

00:33:48.000 Well, because you've brought no evidence.

00:33:50.000 How about you show me a clip?

00:33:51.000 Like, even just one picture.

00:33:53.000 One picture.

00:33:54.000 Anyone, one picture of Donald Trump with a loud whistle.

00:33:58.000 I'll allow that.

00:34:00.000 And apologize.

00:34:02.000 All right.

00:34:03.000 We have another clip, I think, to get to more... It's in the dossier.

00:34:06.000 The whistle.

00:34:07.000 What do you hope people are kind of reflecting on in terms of the impact of, you know, enslaved people... Yeah, the 1619 Project.

00:34:14.000 It's about 1619.

00:34:18.000 A lot of these people getting behind this guy, digging me in the wrong side of history with him.

00:34:27.000 Oh, so the project is not so much about American history as it is... Don't vote for Donald Trump, my possums!

00:34:37.000 What happened to the 16... He's there to plug the 1619 project, right? 0.91

00:34:41.000 That's why he's there.

00:34:42.000 This is supposed to be a project that teaches people, educates... Because we wasn't taught it in school, right?

00:34:47.000 So why aren't you teaching us now?

00:34:48.000 And instead it's, don't vote for Trump?

00:34:50.000 Can you imagine any other scenario where someone is there to specifically plug a particular project?

00:34:55.000 Like, well, tell us about your...

00:34:57.000 New film, Pineapple Express 2. 0.99

00:34:59.000 I have ass warts, yeah. 0.98

00:35:01.000 What does that have to do? 0.99

00:35:02.000 That has nothing to do with the topic at hand here.

00:35:05.000 No, but you know what I do appreciate about it, though?

00:35:08.000 Is it's honest.

00:35:09.000 Because they could have continued to say, no, no, no, this is just an educational project.

00:35:14.000 Here we are educating.

00:35:15.000 And it would have been a little bit more, you know, circumstantial to be able to say, oh, you know, this is actually an attack on uh... trying to change voting minds away from the president because the upcoming election and coincidentally just at the timing of everything we couldn't have done it any other time between now and sixteen nineteen but this was the year we were going to do it at this very moment in history but that is the part that i appreciate is that uh... the glasses lay low for four centuries and then bring out the guy who did do the right thing!

00:35:45.000 I mean, that's the part where you go, hey, yeah, thank you, I appreciate you letting us know that this is just a thinly veiled political move.

00:35:52.000 Everything that we believe the left to be, that they kind of veiled for a long time, you know, kind of like, okay, you know what, a little bit of sleight of hand, now they're just doing out in the open.

00:35:59.000 Yeah.

00:35:59.000 And I think there is a silver lining there, because now people, like for the longest time, really up until Donald Trump, people thought CNN was legitimate news.

00:36:05.000 Yeah.

00:36:06.000 And I had been shouting this from the rooftop like the Ricola guys, where I was saying, like, no, listen, it's not a misunderstanding.

00:36:11.000 Your problem is CNN, because they present it as though it's actually unbiased.

00:36:14.000 And now we know through these interactions with people like Spike Lee and Anderson Cooper.

00:36:18.000 And you had a good point before the show.

00:36:19.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:36:19.000 So by these standards, we'd actually have to say that President Barack Obama was also a racist, right?

00:36:25.000 Against white people, right? 0.63

00:36:26.000 OK, so just hear me out for a second.

00:36:27.000 I don't know if I want to.

00:36:28.000 You got to give me just a second.

00:36:29.000 Don't hear him out!

00:36:32.000 Is there a legal liability here?

00:36:38.000 Just follow me, right?

00:36:39.000 So if I had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin, right?

00:36:43.000 And then we had hands up, don't shoot.

00:36:45.000 And we had, all right, we're going to send A.G.

00:36:48.000 down there to take a look at this.

00:36:49.000 We're going to go through all this stuff.

00:36:51.000 And so Black Lives Matter comes out of this movement, right?

00:36:54.000 And so you have this huge, this massive overreach of Black Lives Matter, trying to make people think that every white person in America doesn't think that your life matters, especially police officers, even though it was black police officers involved in some of these incidents, right?

00:37:07.000 And so there's this massive overreach.

00:37:09.000 What happens typically when there's a massive overreach by one side in one of these things, right?

00:37:13.000 So you have people on this side.

00:37:15.000 There's a big push by people on the other side.

00:37:17.000 I think, I would make the argument that Donald Trump is not what has brought white supremacists kind of out into the open.

00:37:23.000 It's a huge overreach by Black Lives Matter that has allowed that. 0.99

00:37:27.000 I'm not saying it's the sole cause.

00:37:28.000 I'm saying it has allowed that to happen because all of a sudden, all these guys who are kind of hiding in the shadows are like, what the hell's going on over here?

00:37:36.000 These guys are out overreaching and now public sentiment is against that.

00:37:38.000 And by the way, Barack Obama certainly did not condemn Black Lives Matter as emphatically as Donald Trump has condemned neo-Nazis, white supremacists.

00:37:44.000 Exactly, he never did that. 0.60

00:37:45.000 So by these same standards, Barack Obama, by the way, you know, newsflash, it's possible to be racist and be black. 0.50

00:37:51.000 Yeah. 0.86

00:37:51.000 Okay? 0.86

00:37:52.000 I'm not saying he was. 0.57

00:37:53.000 I'm saying that if we use these same standards, we have to look at him in the same lens you're looking at Trump, he would be looked at as potentially being a racist person against black people.

00:38:00.000 Well, the idea, though, is that you cannot—maybe black people can be discriminatory, but they can't be racist because they're not in a position of the systemic powers that be, like the presidential office.

00:38:08.000 Yeah.

00:38:09.000 Yeah.

00:38:11.000 One real quick point is I don't want this to be a message where because Spike Lee and some of the folks who are at the top of the 1619 project That there's a denial of slavery and its impact on those people, or even people in the generations afterwards.

00:38:29.000 And this is the important part, is that if you're out there trying to think about how to intelligently talk to someone, either who's confused about what it is, or someone on the other side that's trying to say, oh, you know, this is what the project is, don't bury your head.

00:38:41.000 Go look at the project.

00:38:42.000 Just take it with a grain of salt.

00:38:43.000 Just recognize when there's facts and history versus political message.

00:38:47.000 If you want to talk about What today is and how different it is and how we've come as a country and what we are today versus in 1619?

00:38:54.000 You gotta know the facts.

00:38:55.000 So go look at the facts.

00:38:56.000 The problem, unfortunately, is obviously the incredible bias.

00:38:59.000 Like, Spike Lee, he's sort of the spearhead, or at least seen that way, of the modern black rights movement.

00:39:03.000 Where the hell that is?

00:39:04.000 You know what?

00:39:04.000 Can someone answer this?

00:39:05.000 What rights are they fighting for now?

00:39:07.000 I'm not talking about discrimination.

00:39:08.000 I'm talking about individual races.

00:39:09.000 What rights are they fighting for now when they talk about black rights movement, when they talk about white privilege?

00:39:14.000 I don't know.

00:39:14.000 Genuine.

00:39:15.000 This could just be me being tone deaf.

00:39:16.000 It could be a blind spot.

00:39:17.000 I don't know.

00:39:18.000 I have a car that does have some blind spots.

00:39:21.000 Yeah.

00:39:21.000 Korean.

00:39:23.000 So... No, it's a Korean car. 0.76

00:39:24.000 A whole lot of blind spots.

00:39:25.000 Oh, I thought you had a Korean one.

00:39:26.000 No, I wouldn't do that in front of my half-Asian lawyer.

00:39:28.000 But let's look at... He's Chinese. 0.99

00:39:30.000 Half-Chinese. 0.56

00:39:33.000 Can you tell the difference, like, if you see someone and you say, he's Korean, instead of Chinese?

00:39:37.000 Anyway. 0.53

00:39:37.000 I can't with white people. 0.53

00:39:39.000 Spike Lee. 0.98

00:39:40.000 Malcolm X. Do the right thing.

00:39:40.000 Black Klansman.

00:39:42.000 Yeah.

00:39:43.000 There's a reason he's on the show.

00:39:44.000 There's a reason he's been chosen as a spokesperson for 1619. 0.93

00:39:46.000 It's because he's seen as a figurehead.

00:39:49.000 He's clearly presented as an authoritative figure on this topic.

00:39:52.000 And he's either demonstrably, completely misinformed, or he's deliberately misinforming everybody else.

00:40:00.000 There are only two options. 1.00

00:40:01.000 All Mexicans are rapists. 1.00

00:40:02.000 The Muslim ban. 1.00

00:40:03.000 He said there were fine people on both sides. 0.84

00:40:05.000 He supported white supremacists. 1.00

00:40:07.000 Either Spike Lee, you're too stupid to be representative of this movement and this project, or you are lying in order to leverage this to don't vote for Donald Trump. 1.00

00:40:15.000 There is no third option. 1.00

00:40:17.000 And I think a part of these people being misinformed is, it's idiot bubbles. 1.00

00:40:22.000 Like Spike Lee goes out and says, oh, he said all Mexicans are rapists. 1.00

00:40:26.000 He said that he likes white supremacists. 0.99

00:40:30.000 He said he didn't like my glasses.

00:40:32.000 Tom Hanks said World War II, I remember at one point, was based on racism and fear mongering.

00:40:38.000 They're surrounded by people in this entertainment industry, and by the way, that includes the media, where no one just says, Huh?

00:40:45.000 Exactly.

00:40:46.000 What?

00:40:46.000 There's no checks and balances.

00:40:47.000 Spike Lee wouldn't go out and spout this if Anderson Cooper, before he went on it, like, anytime we talk about this before the show, we go through a show map and one of us has a point that we're not quite sure, we go, ooh, I don't think that's the strongest point. 0.96

00:40:57.000 Anderson Cooper could have at least done Spike Lee a favor and went, you know, like, I'm gonna talk about how he said all Mexicans are rapists. 0.89

00:41:04.000 Anderson Cooper could have said, oh, wait, wait, wait, he didn't say all. 0.96

00:41:07.000 Remove the word all, but instead he's like, yes, absolutely!

00:41:10.000 No jump in, no real quick, hey, you know, we should stick to facts here.

00:41:14.000 Right.

00:41:15.000 By the way, Warby Parker?

00:41:16.000 I don't know.

00:41:17.000 Spike Lee and the people at the New York Times, let me simplify this for you.

00:41:24.000 They are either misinformed or they are misinforming.

00:41:28.000 Period.

00:41:29.000 Neither option is a good look for a legitimate news outlet.

00:41:31.000 That's why Americans don't trust legacy media.

00:41:34.000 All right, Brian Callan coming up.

00:41:35.000 After this, thank you, Dean Morgan Jr. and have a nice night at Bill Lynchman!

00:41:37.000 🎵 🎵Jill Kahn, all powerful, Jill Kahn's son🎵

00:42:24.000 Hey, it's time for the one live read of the week.

00:44:04.000 Zoo, zoo, dicey, dicey, zoo, zoo, zoo, pop, pop, new.

00:44:09.000 Hey, Quarter Black, because you're ethnic, what constitutes the popping and the locking? 1.00

00:44:14.000 At which point?

00:44:15.000 You pop it out, right?

00:44:17.000 So you start from a position, you pop it out, and then you lock it into another position.

00:44:22.000 So either way, it should just be lock and lock.

00:44:25.000 You've got to pop out of the lock.

00:44:27.000 So you go from one lock.

00:44:29.000 I'm just a man, my friend.

00:44:30.000 I'm just a man.

00:44:30.000 another lock.

00:44:31.000 This sounds like a very white description.

00:44:32.000 This is the other three quarters of you.

00:44:33.000 I'm just trying to be clear.

00:44:34.000 Our next guest, very happy to have him in.

00:44:36.000 He sees he's popping it and he's locking it.

00:44:38.000 I don't know, maybe he can answer this for us.

00:44:40.000 One of my favorites, I think he's one of the funniest guys out there, his new special

00:44:43.000 Complicated Apes is streaming on Amazon.

00:44:45.000 You know him as Coach Meller, of course, on the Goldbergs, and now the very popular show

00:44:48.000 Schooled.

00:44:49.000 You can follow him on the Twitter at Brian Callen.

00:44:52.000 Mr. Callen, how are you, sir?

00:44:54.000 I'm just a man, my friend.

00:44:55.000 I'm just a man.

00:44:56.000 Thank you for having me on.

00:44:57.000 I'd rather.

00:44:58.000 Do you know what the popping and locking is?

00:44:59.000 Well, I'm obsessed with the less twins.

00:45:02.000 They are, they are...

00:45:05.000 They do these dances, I don't even know what to say about it.

00:45:09.000 I'll never be truly happy because I'm not a popper or a locker, nor am I a Spanish dancer. 0.96

00:45:15.000 I want to speak the language of salsa and merengue and samba fluently, but I don't.

00:45:22.000 I don't live in Barcelona.

00:45:24.000 I want to eat paella and drink wine in the middle of the afternoon, take a siesta and then dance the night away.

00:45:30.000 And I also want to grow a goatee.

00:45:31.000 I grew a goatee.

00:45:32.000 My dad, Marine, Midwestern, American guy.

00:45:35.000 I had a goatee.

00:45:36.000 I had a little mustache and a little patch here.

00:45:39.000 I went to Italy.

00:45:40.000 Oh, yeah.

00:45:41.000 There's no need to... I don't know why you're saying mustache.

00:45:43.000 They're like, I gotta get merengue de samba.

00:45:44.000 But now you're just throwing an affectation for no reason.

00:45:47.000 But go ahead.

00:45:48.000 My other languages seep in.

00:45:50.000 I'm sorry.

00:45:50.000 I studied in Europe.

00:45:51.000 But the point is... He's a cultured man.

00:45:54.000 I'm a cultured man.

00:45:55.000 And I go to my dad and my dad goes, How long are you going to keep that stuff on your face?

00:46:02.000 And I immediately got embarrassed.

00:46:05.000 And I went, well, no, I mean, my friends tell me it looks good.

00:46:08.000 My father just whispered.

00:46:09.000 He goes, it's not you.

00:46:13.000 And I ran to the bathroom and shaved that scratch off my face because it was subversive.

00:46:19.000 It is.

00:46:21.000 When it doesn't work, it really, really doesn't work.

00:46:23.000 Hey, what is your ethnicity there?

00:46:25.000 You know, I'm Italian.

00:46:26.000 My mother, Is 100% Sicilian, and my father's Irish-German, you know, just a big Midwestern kid who grew up on the farm.

00:46:34.000 Okay, so 100% Sicilian, your mom said, so you probably have more black in you than Elizabeth Warren has Native American.

00:46:38.000 There's probably a good amount.

00:46:39.000 Well, yes, I have a lot of fast-twitch muscle, that's all I'm gonna say.

00:46:41.000 Don't kid yourself.

00:46:43.000 I got some hand speed, I got some foot speed.

00:46:44.000 I know what that means.

00:46:45.000 That won't make air.

00:46:46.000 I got a high tight rope and I insert some caps.

00:46:49.000 That will not make air.

00:46:50.000 Just because I want you to still have a career after this and everyone's on guard after the Carlos Maza Vox.

00:46:56.000 What's going to be said?

00:46:57.000 Hey, so we were talking about this before the break.

00:46:58.000 Different things we wanted to get into.

00:46:59.000 Obviously your friend Joe Rogan just had Dan Crenshaw on.

00:47:01.000 He's been on the show quite a bit.

00:47:03.000 But before that, you know, I know you've talked with a lot of people on air, sort of conspiracy theorists, and you've been somewhat the voice of reason.

00:47:11.000 I'm not, I don't want to say somewhat, you've been the voice of reason.

00:47:13.000 I don't know why I was giving myself an out there to give you some kind of a day man and a backhanded insult. 0.85

00:47:17.000 I have no idea why.

00:47:17.000 You were reasonable.

00:47:18.000 But I'm not a conspiratorial guy.

00:47:21.000 I do think the Clintons have had people whacked.

00:47:24.000 Your thoughts?

00:47:25.000 Do you really?

00:47:25.000 Yes.

00:47:27.000 My thing is, my only The problem with conspiracies is you're giving people way more credit for being that organized, that gutsy, and for being able to keep their mouth shut.

00:47:38.000 I mean, in Washington, trying to keep a secret is impossible because everybody's got their own agenda.

00:47:45.000 And it's just like putting a bunch of people in a room.

00:47:47.000 Nobody agrees with each other.

00:47:48.000 Everybody is more ambitious than the next person.

00:47:51.000 And if you can kind of expose, but Johnson was so angry at not being able to keep a secret, You know, some of the Johnson tapes, he's like, I'm gonna put a one eyed, I'm gonna put a blind or a one eyed farmer in charge of my defense, the Secretary of Defense, because I can't keep a secret.

00:48:07.000 And I'm calling the editor of the Chicago Sun and begging him not to run an article because I've been, we had this whole cabinet meeting, and you guys are leaking information.

00:48:16.000 So in terms of a conspiracy Gun to your head. 0.99

00:48:21.000 Gun to your head. 1.00

00:48:23.000 Your life depends on it, right? 1.00

00:48:24.000 Your family.

00:48:25.000 They're going to be saying, oh, we're so glad you're with us.

00:48:27.000 Or, oh, he was too young.

00:48:29.000 You know, he went too young.

00:48:30.000 So this is, I want to present the finality.

00:48:32.000 Bang, bang, you're not coming back, Brian Cowan.

00:48:35.000 I can disarm you very quickly, but keep going.

00:48:37.000 Yes.

00:48:37.000 You know what?

00:48:39.000 I'll romance you. 1.00

00:48:40.000 You've got a gun to my head. 0.99

00:48:42.000 Let's say I'm a regular civilian, but keep going. 0.99

00:48:44.000 That's fair.

00:48:46.000 Do you think they've played a role in someone maybe disappearing inconveniently?

00:48:52.000 I think if it was politically expedient for Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton, I do think that they have a rather fluid moral compass, if you will.

00:49:05.000 Right.

00:49:07.000 I suppose they'd be, I mean, look, the guy's not cooperating.

00:49:11.000 I mean, what happened?

00:49:13.000 What?

00:49:13.000 He had a heart attack?

00:49:18.000 But now you've got to tell me.

00:49:19.000 Why does Bill Clinton sound like Miss Maisel?

00:49:21.000 What is this?

00:49:24.000 What?

00:49:24.000 And they cover their mouth.

00:49:25.000 Whenever you kill someone and you know you did it, but you have to feign surprise, you go, what?

00:49:31.000 Right.

00:49:31.000 Steven was so young.

00:49:32.000 Yeah.

00:49:33.000 And the other dead giveaway is a candelabra.

00:49:35.000 I've played Clue.

00:49:37.000 Yes, indeed.

00:49:38.000 But I think I had people waxed.

00:49:43.000 Who did it?

00:49:44.000 Who did it?

00:49:45.000 How'd they pay them?

00:49:46.000 And why?

00:49:48.000 It'd be difficult.

00:49:49.000 It'd be difficult to get people to sustain that loyalty, take that kind of a risk.

00:49:54.000 I think in Washington, but when we're talking about a lot of it, you know, we're talking about local politics in Arkansas before Washington, and sometimes it's not necessarily directly involved.

00:50:00.000 But listen, I just, I ask because, okay, so I'm not crazy.

00:50:03.000 I'm not a conspiracy guy.

00:50:04.000 That's the one thing where I look at the evidence, I go, I'm not saying, listen, that Bill Clinton made a phone call to Redbird Flies Tonight and Epstein all of a sudden breaks his neck on a paper bed sheet.

00:50:13.000 That's not what I'm saying.

00:50:14.000 But the totality of evidence makes me... Well, here's a conspiracy theory.

00:50:20.000 I think in today's world it's much easier to destroy someone's reputation.

00:50:24.000 You don't need to go through the process of killing somebody.

00:50:27.000 What you want to do is figure out a way to destroy their reputation.

00:50:31.000 Dig up old tweets, dig up things they've said, start a rumor, and you can very easily erase them from the competition. That's all you need to do. So it used

00:50:42.000 to be in a Machiavellian sort of sense, you figure out a way to get your hit squad to take that guy

00:50:46.000 out. Don't need to do that so much. A little too messy. Nowadays, it's all about, you know,

00:50:52.000 reputation, you know, just erasing someone's reputation, just destroying somebody. That's true. And that

00:50:57.000 means the Epstein thing, I have a theory on the Epstein. You want to hear a conspiracy theory on the

00:51:00.000 Epstein thing? Sure. I'm not entirely sure. We had Alex Jones on the show, you know, for

00:51:08.000 Mug Club members who talked about the Alex Epstein, so I'm a little bit shell-shocked, but

00:51:12.000 yes.

00:51:13.000 I got you.

00:51:13.000 No, no, the only thing I would say is it would make sense if you said he was a Mossad agent.

00:51:19.000 And that he had this island in this plane and the idea was to get very powerful men in compromising situations where they were having sex with young women.

00:51:28.000 Now you got videotape and you can get some leverage.

00:51:30.000 So a foreign government would find interest in getting people, whoever they might be, different dignitaries and things and getting political leverage.

00:51:39.000 I guess that's something I could I could maybe get on board with.

00:51:43.000 As far as like breaking his neck, no.

00:51:45.000 He hung himself because he had nowhere else to go.

00:51:48.000 Right, yeah, maybe.

00:51:49.000 I think you're right.

00:51:50.000 I think that goes to kind of what you're speaking about as far as reputation, right, in that case.

00:51:55.000 It's not so much about the sexual relationship with minors, it's about the reputation destruction that would ensue after that.

00:52:01.000 And that's a good example right there.

00:52:03.000 We know there was a pedophile island. 0.95

00:52:04.000 We know there was an island where people were going, where there was sex with underage people. 0.99

00:52:07.000 This man was charged with these crimes.

00:52:09.000 We know that's the case.

00:52:10.000 We know a lot of powerful people went there.

00:52:12.000 It just comes down to what were they doing there and what was going to be done with this information afterward.

00:52:19.000 That's not a conspiracy.

00:52:21.000 But everyone is filling in the gaps with, okay, now... And by the way, there's nothing to fill in the gaps with that isn't fishy.

00:52:27.000 I mean, it's basic.

00:52:28.000 You're filling in the gaps with Starkist at that point.

00:52:31.000 Yes, but now again, by the way, the one thing I know of being around fairly, you know, as you get older, your friends, people get successful, you meet successful people with a lot of money.

00:52:40.000 You don't get less of a degenerate.

00:52:42.000 When you get a billion dollars in the bank, it's not like now I'm going to not be a degenerate.

00:52:46.000 What you can do is ramp it up and control your environment.

00:52:50.000 So if you want to get powerful men to just do business with you or whatever, what do you do?

00:52:56.000 You just parade a bunch of beautiful women in the room That's what happens. 1.00

00:53:00.000 That's how men operate. 0.95

00:53:02.000 So, you know, I mean, it might just be that. 0.90

00:53:06.000 It might be the guy likes young girls because he's a perv or whatever.

00:53:09.000 And so do a lot of others.

00:53:11.000 Wait, what's the or whatever?

00:53:12.000 Why are you giving yourself a backdoor there? 0.99

00:53:14.000 He's a perv or whatever.

00:53:16.000 Bro, if you're 17, 18, depending, some of that stuff could be legal. 0.88

00:53:20.000 I think actually in Vegas, 17 is legal.

00:53:23.000 I don't know.

00:53:24.000 No, you know exactly.

00:53:25.000 You know exactly.

00:53:26.000 That's what's so unsettling about this.

00:53:28.000 In Quebec, where I'm from, it's 14.

00:53:29.000 And the Liberal Party, I think the Liberals and the NDP, and by the way, I don't mean like Liberals, man, the Liberal Party in Canada.

00:53:36.000 In Quebec, we don't really have a conservative voice at all.

00:53:39.000 We have Liberals and then Liberal Separatists and there's NDP.

00:53:41.000 And several of those platforms, they wanted to do away with the age of consent at all.

00:53:44.000 And it's 14 in Quebec.

00:53:46.000 What?

00:53:46.000 They want to get rid of the age of consent totally?

00:53:48.000 Yeah, there were quite a few people.

00:53:50.000 It was mainstream, yeah.

00:53:51.000 And I understand some arguments on that side in the sense that, like, I've known people who've gone to... I shouldn't say, no, but I've had people... known people who've known people who've gone to jail because they're 19 and their girlfriend was 17, and then they break up.

00:54:03.000 Like, that's a whole different thing.

00:54:04.000 Someone to be tarred and feathered as a sex offender for life, tossed in the same place.

00:54:08.000 Yeah, that's a hard case.

00:54:08.000 Yeah, as Epstein.

00:54:10.000 All right.

00:54:10.000 We don't have a... You know what?

00:54:11.000 Here.

00:54:12.000 Here's what I want to do, because I said I was going to throw you a curveball. 0.99

00:54:14.000 Now this whole thing has been about conspiracies.

00:54:16.000 What we're going to do is go to a web extended for people who have not joined up at Mug Club, and we're going to get into a little bit more about firearms and Dan Gable and wrestling.

00:54:23.000 That is Brian Callen, at Brian Callen.

00:54:26.000 And for people watching on YouTube right now, go on over to the Mug Club.

00:54:28.000 Woo.

00:54:33.000 My name is Mr. Susan.

00:54:34.000 You must choose.

00:54:35.000 And now it is time for you to do the choosing.

00:54:38.000 Now for Trick Tips with Beto.

00:54:41.000 Remember, when cops pull you over, you can refuse a breathalyzer.

00:54:46.000 Just say to the cop, oh my god, look at that thing!

00:54:50.000 Then run away for the next 20 years.

00:54:52.000 Don't be a Beto.

00:54:53.000 Join Mug Club for $99 a year, $69 a year for students, veterans, or active military.

00:55:08.000 I see you, enemy!

00:55:10.000 Enemy!

00:55:11.000 Enemy!

00:55:12.000 You are my enemy! 0.95

00:55:13.000 You will pay. 1.00

00:55:16.000 Yeah, you think I don't see your face, scum? 1.00

00:55:18.000 You don't think I don't see you, stelter? 1.00

00:56:19.000 It's called the Disloyal Synchronized Swimmer.

00:56:21.000 Oh, man.

00:56:22.000 Not a team player, that synchronized swimmer.

00:56:23.000 Yeah, you just left me.

00:56:24.000 How did that make the Olympics?

00:56:26.000 Yeah, that seems really superfluous.

00:56:28.000 Whenever I hear that they want to remove wrestling from the Olympics, and I go, what?

00:56:30.000 But you have synchronized swimming and dressage.

00:56:34.000 That's horse dancing. 0.94

00:56:35.000 You're not even the one doing the sport.

00:56:38.000 They still have the one with the gymnastics, with the little... Yeah, with the little ribbons.

00:56:41.000 Tassels and stuff?

00:56:42.000 Not tassels, they're ribbons.

00:56:43.000 Oh, tassels are like on... What?

00:56:45.000 Like on a jacket.

00:56:46.000 You're thinking of a strip club! 0.72

00:56:47.000 No.

00:56:48.000 I am.

00:56:48.000 You're thinking of Evel Knievel or Liberace.

00:56:51.000 What are you talking about?

00:56:52.000 Tassels!

00:56:53.000 Tassels!

00:56:54.000 Gymnastics.

00:56:56.000 Thank you so much to Brian Cowen.

00:56:57.000 Web extended, by the way.

00:56:58.000 We had to pre-tape because he's in California time.

00:57:00.000 There's an extra 30 minutes for those who are Mug Club members. 0.91

00:57:02.000 He's a good guy.

00:57:02.000 He's a really fun guy.

00:57:03.000 Really smart, too.

00:57:04.000 A lot of people don't give him the credit that he deserves.

00:57:07.000 Introspective guy.

00:57:08.000 And we have some super videos coming up here soon.

00:57:10.000 As a matter of fact, after taping this show, we're going to be traveling to do something quite spectacular, we hope.

00:57:17.000 Or it could be nothing, and if that's the case, we'll never see it.

00:57:19.000 That's the chance.

00:57:20.000 Oh, right.

00:57:21.000 So, okay.

00:57:23.000 Something that I guess I would like to talk about, because it comes up quite a bit when we're At live shows, or we do the Life Advice Behind the Paywall.

00:57:31.000 First off, let me preface this.

00:57:33.000 I've talked about this.

00:57:34.000 I kind of have, what I need to work on myself, is I have two gears.

00:57:37.000 My wife has always said it's turbo and off.

00:57:39.000 And it's been a real struggle to sort of find that, that what we call sort of third gear.

00:57:43.000 In other words, I'm going, going, going.

00:57:45.000 I live life at extremes, and then I'm just off, and I don't want to do a whole lot.

00:57:48.000 And finding that energy to kind of still be moving, but not in a sprint, is tough.

00:57:52.000 That's my personality type.

00:57:53.000 But the worst part of anything, is, for me I realize about myself, is waiting on the tarmac.

00:58:02.000 Is that anticipation of the event, the nerves, the anxiety.

00:58:07.000 Just let you know how I've been.

00:58:08.000 And I think most people are this way, and you may not necessarily notice it.

00:58:11.000 And I did notice a pattern when I went back, all the way back to being a kid with auditions,

00:58:14.000 to stand-up shows, to before this show, before every time before we do a live show,

00:58:19.000 or even here in the studio, I'm always just a little bit, little bit antsy,

00:58:23.000 a little bit nervous, especially before live shows.

00:58:25.000 It's kind of an unwritten rule, like, just don't really talk to me because I won't remember it.

00:58:30.000 I get really, really anxious.

00:58:32.000 And I get really anxious, for example, if we're supposed to do a show and something gets delayed.

00:58:36.000 Or I'm sitting there, I'm sitting in a chair going, okay, are we going?

00:58:39.000 Are we not going?

00:58:40.000 Are we going?

00:58:41.000 Are we not going?

00:58:42.000 Big thing too was the Christmas show example comes to mind, where we were doing this big live stream, CNN, 16 hours.

00:58:48.000 I didn't sleep for days.

00:58:51.000 I actually punched a hole through a wall.

00:58:52.000 I didn't really mean to.

00:58:54.000 To be fair, it was a very old, brittle wall. 0.99

00:58:56.000 I was like, damn it! 0.99

00:58:56.000 It was just like this. 0.99

00:58:57.000 And it broke, so it sounds more impressive.

00:58:59.000 But it was because things got delayed, and I was sitting there in that holding pattern.

00:59:05.000 And I think a lot of people live their life in that holding pattern, thinking that the event or what they need to accomplish, what you need to accomplish, is scarier than it is.

00:59:14.000 This is something I've learned about myself, and you let me know if you've experienced this.

00:59:17.000 Prepare, set a plan, pull the trigger.

00:59:21.000 Do it.

00:59:22.000 Your mind is really your own worst enemy when it comes to these things.

00:59:24.000 Usually what you fear, what you build up in your mind, sitting in the tarmac, waiting, the anticipation is far worse than what actually happens.

00:59:33.000 I've just felt things really deeply this way.

00:59:34.000 When I was a kid, I would get dizzy Christmas Eve before Christmas morning.

00:59:39.000 I would go absolutely nuts because I would anticipate it in a positive way.

00:59:43.000 On the flip side of that coin, before every show was the exact same.

00:59:46.000 Before every single competition, I would feel like I was going to throw up.

00:59:49.000 I still often do.

00:59:50.000 But I have realized that usually it's not so bad.

00:59:52.000 I walk out on the stage, and then things fall into place.

00:59:55.000 And even if you bomb, it's not as bad as it is in your mind.

00:59:59.000 Usually what you fear and what you build up is a lot worse.

01:00:03.000 And it's one thing to tell people, or I could tell you right now, just do it.

01:00:06.000 Do the Shia LaBeouf.

01:00:06.000 Just do it!

01:00:09.000 All right?

01:00:09.000 Doesn't help.

01:00:10.000 Doesn't help you if you fear legitimate harm may come to you if you fail.

01:00:14.000 Right?

01:00:15.000 Sometimes that's the case.

01:00:15.000 And I need to be honest.

01:00:17.000 Most of the time, though, almost all of the time, aside from those extreme examples, it's just an ouchie.

01:00:24.000 You get an ouchie.

01:00:25.000 And that's an important thing.

01:00:26.000 Another difference between injuries, between things that you need to take, you need to take inventory of this and understand, okay, pull it back, and an ouchie.

01:00:33.000 That's another reason, by the way, in itself to get off of the tarmac, to get out of the holding pattern.

01:00:37.000 Ouchies are actually kind of a good thing.

01:00:39.000 Nicks and bruises, those are good things because those experiences, they toughen you up so you don't get a serious injury.

01:00:45.000 It's the same reason you go to the gym and you're sore right when you start working out and you're getting stronger, but oh my gosh, it's miserable, but you're doing that so that you don't throw your back out when you lift your kid up.

01:00:54.000 You're trying to get stronger in the gym, in a controlled environment where you can challenge yourself and just pull that Trigger.

01:01:01.000 Do it.

01:01:02.000 Start doing it.

01:01:03.000 It's never as bad as you anticipate.

01:01:04.000 Let me ask you, what would you rather have?

01:01:06.000 Ten scrapes and bruises, cuts, nicks, or one broken femur?

01:01:12.000 Because those scrapes, those bruises, they represent engagement, repetitions, training, practice.

01:01:16.000 In and of itself, it makes you less prone to serious injury or maiming.

01:01:20.000 And let's be honest, a life without any skinned knees... Think of a childhood. 0.93

01:01:24.000 Think of any kid you know who never skinned a knee, never had a few stitches.

01:01:27.000 That's a crappy childhood.

01:01:28.000 It's not a life worth living.

01:01:31.000 If you just played, for example, in the big game, and you come out without a scratch, what does that mean?

01:01:34.000 That usually means that someone else was moving up the field.

01:01:37.000 Someone else was making the big scores or the big saves.

01:01:39.000 And most of the time, not always, I know someone's going to say, well, I thought so when I got cancer.

01:01:44.000 I understand.

01:01:45.000 Extreme example.

01:01:46.000 Most of the time, they lived to play another game.

01:01:49.000 So I want you to do something for me, a little exercise.

01:01:51.000 I want you to think about something that you've been wanting to do, but feels maybe insurmountable.

01:01:57.000 Maybe not even insurmountable, just overwhelming.

01:01:59.000 We all get that feeling sometimes, being overwhelmed, right?

01:02:01.000 I get it daily.

01:02:02.000 Maybe it's a project.

01:02:04.000 Maybe it's a family issue that needs resolving.

01:02:05.000 Maybe it's getting in shape.

01:02:07.000 Maybe it's work.

01:02:07.000 Maybe it's cleaning your room on serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

01:02:11.000 You're a lobster, for all I know, and you've read your... I have no idea.

01:02:14.000 Just something that's been lingering on your to-do list that you know is important for you to do, but you haven't gotten to it yet.

01:02:20.000 Okay?

01:02:20.000 I want you to take a second.

01:02:21.000 I want you to think of something.

01:02:24.000 You got it?

01:02:25.000 Now, ask yourself honestly, why haven't you done it?

01:02:29.000 Why are you still sitting on the tarmac?

01:02:32.000 Get off of it!

01:02:33.000 The tarmac is the worst part.

01:02:35.000 It's loud, it's hot, it's sweaty, and you're not moving anywhere!

01:02:39.000 What do you have to do right now to get off of the tarmac?

01:02:42.000 Hit your pilot checklist and do it.

01:02:44.000 Set a plan, and at some point, good enough is good enough, just pull the trigger.

01:02:48.000 Go.

01:02:49.000 What you fear, the unknown, just like a monster movie, the unknown, living in that holding pattern, it's undoubtedly worse than what is most likely to happen, even in a worst case scenario.

01:03:00.000 And that's no way to live.

01:03:02.000 Make a plan.

01:03:04.000 Pull the trigger.

01:03:05.000 Get off the tarmac.

01:03:06.000 Let me know how it works out.
