00:00:51.000 Somebody! 0.90

00:00:51.000 Hello. 0.90

00:01:01.000 Did somebody say Bloomberg?

00:01:03.000 Oh, okay.

00:01:03.000 Oh.

00:01:05.000 Team Bucket is leading!

00:01:10.000 Let's have Griff read number six pitched Jeffrey Epstein vehicles.

00:01:15.000 Number six.

00:01:16.000 I can't read. 1.00

00:01:16.000 Son of a bitch, Griff! 1.00

00:01:22.000 I feel like I've seen Donald Trump realize that a lot of people who he may have gone to cocktail parties with are no longer his friends. 1.00

00:01:28.000 Seems to me like you have far less patience for them than you did.

00:01:31.000 Is that a fair assessment of your evolution since they've been so nasty?

00:01:37.000 Yes.

00:01:38.000 Louder with Crowder Studios.

00:01:49.000 Protected exclusively by Walther.

00:01:51.000 Betty! 1.00

00:01:53.000 LWC is a show with all the worst transgressions.

00:02:02.000 You're not the boss of me now.

00:02:04.000 You're not my boss!

00:02:05.000 One life's history now.

00:02:07.000 Screw all your policy now.

00:02:09.000 Palo Alto, thanks.

00:02:12.000 Whether it's a deadbeat now, models or manatees now.

00:02:17.000 You're not the boss of me now.

00:02:19.000 Palo Alto, thanks.

00:02:31.000 Like and subscribe.

00:02:36.000 Thanks for watching! 0.94

00:02:51.000 You're a strange animal, that's what I know You're a strange animal, I can't devour you

00:03:02.000 I'm a species I missed the... Gangs don't snap anymore 0.69

00:03:12.000 They don't.

00:03:13.000 You should.

00:03:13.000 What do you think about that?

00:03:15.000 That's what's wrong with this country.

00:03:16.000 MS-13 and the Crips, they're really phoning it in.

00:03:19.000 Make gangs snap again.

00:03:20.000 We get that you have to, you know, get your face, your teardrop, and you have to off somebody, but could you just, could you give it a little panache?

00:03:27.000 And a little harmonizing.

00:03:28.000 Especially the Puerto Ricans.

00:03:31.000 You guys are carrying the mantle.

00:03:33.000 You can't even snap.

00:03:34.000 You can take a wallet, but you can't snap.

00:03:37.000 All right.

00:03:38.000 We have former mayor Rudolph Giuliani on the show today.

00:03:42.000 I know many people thought when we were promoting it, you don't have the real Giuliani.

00:03:45.000 No, we actually do.

00:03:46.000 This time it's real.

00:03:47.000 The only reason we have all these guests now is because they all are getting into the podcast space. 0.91

00:03:50.000 And so now, all of a sudden, this little crap show is relevant. 0.90

00:03:54.000 It is. 0.99

00:03:54.000 Yes. 0.99

00:03:55.000 So they have to come through here. 0.96

00:03:57.000 Which brings me to my question of the day.

00:03:59.000 Bloomberg, obviously, if you watch the debates, I almost didn't want to talk about him today because he might be done, but then I thought you all want to know why he's done.

00:04:06.000 So what are your thoughts on Michael Bloomberg?

00:04:08.000 What do you think the chances are for Bloomberg?

00:04:10.000 And how do you think he compares to Donald Trump?

00:04:12.000 They're both billionaires.

00:04:13.000 I think that Bloomberg is far more emblematic of someone completely out of touch.

00:04:17.000 But I have no idea.

00:04:18.000 They have so much money.

00:04:20.000 They're different people.

00:04:21.000 The rich are different.

00:04:22.000 My half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richman, is here.

00:04:23.000 How are you, sir?

00:04:25.000 That's all you have.

00:04:25.000 Very good.

00:04:26.000 Votes well for the show.

00:04:27.000 Show them your hood pants.

00:04:28.000 And I like that you didn't button the top button.

00:04:31.000 Too many people were confusing him for Mexican.

00:04:34.000 And so he decided he would unbutton it, and now they go, crips.

00:04:38.000 But he's wearing yellow.

00:04:39.000 That's why he's staying neutral.

00:04:41.000 Gerald Morgan A. is here.

00:04:43.000 What's the wine of the day, sir?

00:04:44.000 Wine of the day is Beringer Nights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

00:04:47.000 Oh, so where's that from?

00:04:49.000 It's from Knights Valley.

00:04:50.000 Is that an actual place?

00:04:51.000 It is, right north of Naga Valley. 0.82

00:04:52.000 It sounds like a bullcrap name.

00:04:53.000 And you're going to give it to our audience members here today? 0.96

00:04:55.000 Yeah, I'm going to pour it over them.

00:04:57.000 He always comes in and he gets paid.

00:04:59.000 He thinks he gets to show up with the wine and take it with him.

00:05:01.000 He drinks it in the parking lot.

00:05:02.000 Well, from now on in the contract, he doesn't know what it's like to catch a predator, where he walks outside and then he gets mobbed by a cop.

00:05:10.000 Am I free to go?

00:05:10.000 Well, you can put your pants on and see what happens.

00:05:13.000 And then they're always surprised!

00:05:14.000 Every time.

00:05:15.000 Why are you surprised?

00:05:16.000 We'll be talking about Bloomberg.

00:05:18.000 We'll be talking about the debates a little bit.

00:05:19.000 And first, just watch. 0.99

00:05:24.000 My p***y, my p***y, my p***y, my p***y, my p***y, my p***y, my p***y, p***y. There's a party in my p***y. Something great is going on. 1.00

00:05:48.000 She thinks she's in Frozen. Okay.

00:05:55.000 Oh, wow.

00:05:56.000 We get it. 1.00

00:05:57.000 Something, something or other, you're p***y. Now, that being said, in the spirit of full disclosure and trying to be balanced with the patriarchy, with this one, it seems absurd. 0.99

00:06:08.000 I get it.

00:06:09.000 Fair is fair. 1.00

00:06:10.000 My penis is... My penis is... My penis is my penis! 1.00

00:06:20.000 My penis is... My penis is... My penis is my penis! 1.00

00:06:30.000 My dick and balls! 1.00

00:06:33.000 My dick and balls! 1.00

00:06:36.000 My penis is my penis! 1.00

00:06:42.000 You know, maybe it's just a gender bias. 1.00

00:06:43.000 I prefer the second one.

00:06:44.000 I do, too.

00:06:45.000 It's deeper, you know.

00:06:47.000 It's nice.

00:06:47.000 More put together, I mean.

00:06:48.000 The Vienna Boys Choir has very different standards these days, I guess.

00:06:52.000 You know, here's the one thing that I don't understand, I guess, the feminist movement. 0.99

00:06:54.000 They're sitting there talking about their vaginas. 1.00

00:06:57.000 They constantly use the argument, well, you know, men constantly make jokes. 1.00

00:07:00.000 They make dick jokes. 0.99

00:07:01.000 But here's the difference. 1.00

00:07:02.000 We're not worshipping our penis. 0.99

00:07:06.000 We're not telling you that it's brave or that it's beautiful. 0.99

00:07:08.000 It's funny. 0.99

00:07:09.000 Penises are funny. 1.00

00:07:10.000 We're making fun of our penises. 1.00

00:07:11.000 Could you imagine if I just, if I walked up to my wife and with a straight face said, you know, my dick is beautiful. 1.00

00:07:19.000 And you should respect the penis. 1.00

00:07:22.000 It's just remarkable to me. 0.99

00:07:23.000 It's like the Fat Pride. 0.96

00:07:24.000 They go, there are fat guys.

00:07:25.000 What's Chris Farley?

00:07:27.000 He's not on the cover of Cosmo. 0.99

00:07:29.000 We've never claimed that there's a party going on in our penis. 0.99

00:07:31.000 At best, nobody says that. 0.99

00:07:32.000 It's like a marionette device, because it's funny.

00:07:35.000 You can make it look like the Eiffel Tower.

00:07:36.000 It's a shapeshifter. 1.00

00:07:39.000 So versatile.

00:07:40.000 It's dynamic.

00:07:41.000 Leading the news outside of this since we got that out of the way.

00:07:44.000 I'm sure Giuliani will be thrilled.

00:07:47.000 Yes.

00:07:48.000 He's sitting there listening.

00:07:49.000 No, I want to be clear. 0.96

00:07:50.000 Are they talking about their cocks? 0.98

00:07:54.000 Yes, Mayor. 0.95

00:07:55.000 We appreciate you.

00:07:57.000 Rosario Dawson has now come out of the closet. 0.90

00:07:59.000 What?

00:08:00.000 This is from LGBTQ Nation.

00:08:01.000 She said dating Cory Booker challenged how she approached relationships.

00:08:07.000 Bet it did.

00:08:08.000 And she now describes herself as bisexual. 0.99

00:08:11.000 When reached for comment, Cory Booker said, good for her, as he resumed performing fellatio on the entire Cincinnati Bengals roster. 0.99

00:08:16.000 Oh, wow. 0.97

00:08:18.000 You've heard of the bearded lady in the circus? 1.00

00:08:20.000 Rosario Dawson is the beard lady.

00:08:22.000 She's just a beard.

00:08:23.000 So generous.

00:08:25.000 And honestly, we've talked about this on the show.

00:08:28.000 Is anybody surprised?

00:08:29.000 Is anybody surprised that Rosario Dawson is now bisexual? 0.99

00:08:33.000 Let me present to you exhibit A.

00:08:35.000 ["You're a Real Man"]

00:08:38.000 Ha! 0.89

00:08:44.000 Oopsie.

00:08:45.000 Oh, man.

00:08:46.000 If people are listening on, you're saying, wait, wait, what happened?

00:08:48.000 Everything just happened.

00:08:50.000 That's all you need to know.

00:08:52.000 Like, you know when you see people in a restaurant, a couple, and you're like, ooh, I think they're in a fight. 0.89

00:08:55.000 You see them in a restaurant, you're like, he's gay. 1.00

00:08:58.000 There is no doubt that he is gay.

00:09:00.000 And in case you think that maybe I don't have enough proof, let me present to you Exhibit B. Why can't masculinity be gay? 0.93

00:09:09.000 Why? 0.78

00:09:09.000 I know many of my gay male friends who are incredibly masculine. 0.78

00:09:13.000 I'm hyped with testosterone. 0.91

00:09:14.000 We may have gay rappers that we don't know are gay. 0.99

00:09:17.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.92

00:09:18.000 Frankly.

00:09:19.000 Very true. 0.99

00:09:19.000 Gay athletes that we don't know are gay. 0.99

00:09:21.000 So my point is, come on. 0.99

00:09:24.000 I'm ready.

00:09:27.000 I mean, come on.

00:09:27.000 It didn't sound so much like a statement as it did advocacy.

00:09:30.000 It did.

00:09:30.000 Yeah.

00:09:31.000 Right.

00:09:31.000 He was kind of testing the water a little bit there.

00:09:33.000 He's got tons of testosterone.

00:09:35.000 Yeah, speaking from the heart.

00:09:36.000 Really?

00:09:36.000 So that's your cover is their testosterone level.

00:09:39.000 What about their hemoglobin levels?

00:09:40.000 We want to just talk about their latest lab results. 0.98

00:09:43.000 Just admit that you like the d**k. So, you know last weekend, did you know that was National Hippopotamus Day? 0.99

00:09:51.000 Oh, I missed it. 0.99

00:09:53.000 So in honor of the holiday, we actually are introducing a new segment here.

00:09:56.000 We're proud to introduce Hippopotamus Facts.

00:09:59.000 Just the facts.

00:10:01.000 Hippopotamus facts.

00:10:03.000 Someone worked on that for hours.

00:10:05.000 Hopefully not for many.

00:10:07.000 And a lot of people don't know a lot of facts about hippopotamuses, which is really a shame.

00:10:11.000 It's an epidemic. It's a pandemic that people are hippopotamus ignorant. 0.98

00:10:16.000 It's worse than the coronavirus, you're right. 0.99

00:10:18.000 It is important.

00:10:20.000 Coronavirus? What's the death toll up to?

00:10:22.000 It's still not high enough in comparison to... I shouldn't say high enough.

00:10:26.000 It's not as high as people who are ignorant of hippopotamuses. 0.99

00:10:28.000 By the way, they're dangerous.

00:10:30.000 They're very feared in this country.

00:10:31.000 People think, you want a hippopotamus for Christmas?

00:10:34.000 You don't know what you're asking for.

00:10:36.000 You have no clue.

00:10:38.000 So here's a hippopotamus fact.

00:10:39.000 Hippopotamuses love water, which is why the Greeks named them the river horse.

00:10:44.000 That's where it comes from.

00:10:45.000 Hippos spend up to 16 hours a day submerged in rivers and lakes to keep their massive bodies cool under the hot African sun.

00:10:51.000 Very nice.

00:10:52.000 These are things I didn't know.

00:10:54.000 Here's another one for you.

00:10:55.000 I got plenty.

00:10:55.000 I can go all day and I decide when this segment stops.

00:10:59.000 Hippopotamus's lifespan is up to 40 years in the wild and 50 years in captivity.

00:11:06.000 The last hippopotamus fact, a baby hippo is referred to as A calf.

00:11:14.000 Yeah, a baby hippo is a calf.

00:11:17.000 So, this has been the first installment of many Hippopotamus Facts.

00:11:22.000 Just the Facts.

00:11:23.000 Hippopotamus Facts.

00:11:26.000 Let it percolate.

00:11:28.000 You're gonna be, you're gonna be saying that, you're gonna be like, six hours from now, everyone's gonna be like, Hippopotamus Facts.

00:11:33.000 Yeah, it's like a good jingle.

00:11:35.000 Just the Facts.

00:11:36.000 Right.

00:11:36.000 Just the Facts, man.

00:11:37.000 Like, by Menon.

00:11:38.000 Just Hippopotamus Facts.

00:11:39.000 And Jesse Ventura's gonna go, Just the Facts!

00:11:42.000 and then he's going to be outside of Tower 7 with an Acme plunger.

00:11:45.000 By the way, in other news, Pearl Jam frontman, you know Eddie Vedder?

00:11:49.000 Which I always forget, I thought Eddie Vedder was a professional wrestler.

00:11:52.000 That's Vader, it was a guy from Boy Meets World.

00:11:55.000 Eddie Vedder, he told his congressman that the Boss Ticket Reform Act is, quote, flawed.

00:12:01.000 And he actually took some time, I do respect this when celebrities take time out of their schedule,

00:12:05.000 his busy tour schedule, by the way, with Pearl Jam, to speak before a congressional committee on the issue.

00:12:11.000 and I think we have exclusive audio.

00:12:14.000 Yeah.

00:12:14.000 Joining us today to discuss his problems with the Boss Ticket Reform Act, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder.

00:12:19.000 Mr. Vedder, the floor is yours.

00:12:22.000 I don't think that a bill that's been proposed is very fair.

00:12:28.000 Mr. Vedder, I... I think that it's full of flaws and I wish I could show them sometime.

00:12:34.000 Please, Mr. Vedder.

00:12:35.000 You will see that this man's got a bill that's doomed to fail.

00:12:41.000 I yield my time.

00:12:43.000 That's probably wise.

00:12:44.000 Smart move.

00:12:45.000 That's probably wise.

00:12:46.000 He's a poet.

00:12:47.000 In other news, a poet and ripped Levi's and that shirt that Garrett wears.

00:12:53.000 An Iranian woman said that she's afraid to return to her homeland after loosening her

00:12:57.000 hijab at a chess championship.

00:13:00.000 And this comes from the Washington Post, pointing to warnings that if you come back, this is

00:13:04.000 what they warned her, they will arrest you.

00:13:06.000 And, uh, there were allegations that she hadn't worn her hijab at all.

00:13:10.000 Wow. 1.00

00:13:10.000 So, may I say here, as an American, with all due respect, uh, what a slut. 1.00

00:13:15.000 So, I am, um... You know, that was the official, in the police report, written in her home nation. 0.99

00:13:19.000 That was.

00:13:20.000 Was it?

00:13:20.000 Yeah, that's exactly what it said.

00:13:21.000 That was the complaint? 1.00

00:13:22.000 What a slut. 1.00

00:13:23.000 That is the charge. 1.00

00:13:24.000 Oh, wait, hold on a second, hold on a second.

00:13:25.000 Um, I'm actually getting word right now, uh, that Amy Klobuchar has Yep, she has a comeback.

00:13:32.000 Oh.

00:13:33.000 The point of this is I believe in transparency.

00:13:39.000 I had a physical, by the way.

00:13:41.000 It came out well.

00:13:42.000 We might all be surprised if my blood pressure is lower than Mayor Pete's.

00:13:46.000 That might really shock everyone out there.

00:13:49.000 We'll keep you abreast as this unfolds.

00:13:51.000 What was that sound?

00:13:53.000 That sound was Lester Holt taking a cyanide pill.

00:13:57.000 I can't do it anymore.

00:13:58.000 It was the biracial screams of the moderator. 0.82

00:14:04.000 Didn't even chew, just... and swallowed it.

00:14:07.000 It is like an anaconda, unhinged his jaw.

00:14:10.000 We will keep you abreast of more unfolds.

00:14:11.000 Amy Klobuchar.

00:14:12.000 Jerk store called. 1.00

00:14:13.000 So, a teachers' union... by the way, this is another story, and we'll get more to Bloomberg and then Giuliani after this.

00:14:19.000 A teachers' union lawsuit.

00:14:20.000 filed by spokesperson Randy Weingarten is now claiming that Betsy DeVos capriciously repealed protections for student loan borrowers.

00:14:29.000 So the trial actually will be turned into a made-for-TV film starring Adam Driver.

00:14:34.000 So when you see it does make a striking resemblance.

00:14:39.000 Wow.

00:14:39.000 You know what?

00:14:41.000 He's the everyman.

00:14:42.000 He's the everyman.

00:14:44.000 He's today's Tom Hanks.

00:14:45.000 And every woman, apparently.

00:14:47.000 You know what it is, when you look at that, if we can bring that back up, it's the brow ridge, it's the angle of the nose, and then it's the flat lip, but the haircut is just, she gave us a gift.

00:14:56.000 It's not genetic, that's just a cheap salon. 1.00

00:14:59.000 That's easy, yeah.

00:15:01.000 Vidal Sassoon won't be knocking my attention.

00:15:04.000 Before we get into more detail, has everyone heard, by the way, that Bloomberg is considering picking Hillary Clinton?

00:15:13.000 I can tell when half-Asian Bill is prepared for the show, he's like, what, he picked Hillary Clinton? 0.85

00:15:19.000 What's going on?

00:15:21.000 That's what I'm reading down to the bottom of the page. 0.99

00:15:23.000 Stephen, shut up, I'm reading! 0.97

00:15:25.000 Picking Hillary Clinton as his running mate. 0.99

00:15:27.000 This comes from the Daily Mail.

00:15:28.000 Polling found a Bloomberg-Clinton ticket would be a formidable force to take on Donald Trump.

00:15:33.000 Should be noted, polling also shows the chance of President-elect Bloomberg being assassinated at inauguration at 100%.

00:15:39.000 Oh, wow.

00:15:41.000 He didn't kill himself.

00:15:42.000 And there's a plus or minus variation of 0%.

00:15:47.000 Gotta get to the White House.

00:15:47.000 So that's the plan for Democrats.

00:15:49.000 Bloomberg-Clinton 2020, or as we call it, Rust Belt Poison.

00:15:54.000 Not gonna get him.

00:15:56.000 Bloomberg-Clinton 2020, ignoring flyover country since always.

00:16:01.000 I don't know how out of touch they could possibly be.

00:16:04.000 I guess at the very least people have been saying that this guy, he'll restore some dignity of the White House.

00:16:10.000 Down here we got snappin' turtles.

00:16:12.000 Up there we got big fat butter.

00:16:14.000 Down here the world's makin' trouble.

00:16:18.000 Up there everyone's takin' drugs.

00:16:20.000 New Yorkers the bravest people.

00:16:22.000 Oh, the tail.

00:16:23.000 The cops on the D-Day cab.

00:16:24.000 I forgot about the tail.

00:16:26.000 In New York, firefighters teach it.

00:16:28.000 We got heroes everywhere!

00:16:31.000 Get some... Get some consultants!

00:16:33.000 Oh my gosh, doesn't he have enough money for somebody to help him?

00:16:36.000 All that is required for him to avoid that is one person to say, no!

00:16:41.000 Don't do that.

00:16:42.000 No!

00:16:43.000 We get that you have more money than God, but listen to someone other than you, this is a bad idea!

00:16:50.000 Going on with the black guy from Kimmy Schmidt and the dinosaur tale is not going to play well with anywhere other than these four people in this off-off-Broadway production. 0.99

00:16:59.000 It's a disaster.

00:17:00.000 That's awesome.

00:17:01.000 You will lose Wisconsin and everyone hates you.

00:17:06.000 And your money.

00:17:06.000 It was just Barney, Ursula, and Godzilla had a baby.

00:17:10.000 It was Barney banged Eliza Minnelli, apparently.

00:17:14.000 Well look, I feel more talented than him, so that's helpful for me.

00:17:17.000 Good for you!

00:17:17.000 You live your truth, Gerald.

00:17:19.000 Thank you.

00:17:21.000 And by the way, as soon as it was announced, this isn't really so much... Well, I guess it's news.

00:17:24.000 I'm not sure if you came across this.

00:17:26.000 As soon as it was announced, it's a little foreboding.

00:17:28.000 It's just a picture of Alex Jones hanging himself.

00:17:31.000 So that seems like... Terrible.

00:17:34.000 Poor guy.

00:17:35.000 He didn't do that.

00:17:36.000 Swift recovery.

00:17:36.000 Thoughts and prayers.

00:17:39.000 Finally, by the way, before we get to more on Bloomberg, Donald Trump took his limousine

00:17:43.000 for a lap, of course, you know, around the Daytona 500 track.

00:17:54.000 I just felt like it.

00:17:56.000 It's nice though.

00:17:56.000 So that's what it looks like going around Daytona.

00:17:58.000 The Daytona thing.

00:17:59.000 This was a big deal.

00:18:00.000 This is, of course, a part of President Trump's strategy, you know, to reach voters, expand his base.

00:18:05.000 And now with some even newer audiences, as seen with his his most recent visit on his press tour to the Joe Rogan experience.

00:18:12.000 The Joe Rogan experience.

00:18:13.000 It's exciting to have you here, man.

00:18:15.000 And it's obviously an exciting time for you.

00:18:18.000 Um, you know, presidential campaign is up in full swing.

00:18:21.000 Yes, it is.

00:18:22.000 And frankly, it's about time that you had me on your show.

00:18:25.000 Okay, especially after you had Frankly, crazy birdie. 0.99

00:18:30.000 He was just a horrific homicidal psychopath. 0.99

00:18:34.000 Whoa, Joe. 1.00

00:18:35.000 I thought you endorsed him.

00:18:38.000 I would never call him a psychopath. 0.99

00:18:40.000 I mean, he's crazy. 0.99

00:18:41.000 Okay, can we all agree that he's crazy, folks? 1.00

00:18:44.000 He's crazy birdie. 0.96

00:18:45.000 Okay, I wouldn't use that language, but those two words are apt.

00:18:50.000 What are the misconceptions?

00:18:51.000 Okay, frankly, is that Is that marijuana?

00:18:55.000 Are you trying to give me aesthetic dis-gay?

00:18:58.000 Why?

00:18:59.000 Why?

00:18:59.000 Okay, excuse me.

00:19:00.000 The biggest misconception is that I tweet all day.

00:19:03.000 I frankly, Joe, okay?

00:19:05.000 I'm too busy to be doing that.

00:19:06.000 Though, when I do tweet, okay, Jimmy?

00:19:10.000 It's awesome.

00:19:11.000 Like this one.

00:19:12.000 NBC anchor Chuck Todd looks like a failed polygamous cult leader and I don't care who knows it. 1.00

00:19:21.000 Polygamy is wrong, Chuck.

00:19:24.000 Joe, that's what I said.

00:19:25.000 I said that to Chuck.

00:19:26.000 Now, that is not a bad tweet, but I saw a scientist who was writing, I am unfollowing him.

00:19:33.000 He is using his platform irresponsibly. 0.87

00:19:35.000 A lot of f***ing virtue signals, really.

00:19:37.000 And maybe, young Jamie, maybe young Jamie agrees. 0.94

00:19:40.000 Maybe young Jamie agrees with me.

00:19:41.000 You know, who you really support is Trump.

00:19:44.000 Let's take these one step at a time.

00:19:46.000 Actually, young Jamie, do you think you could pull up a video?

00:19:50.000 So, Jamie, see if you can pull up... Jamie, if you could pull up a video that I'm looking for.

00:19:55.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:19:56.000 it up jimmy jimmy joke okay jimmy if you could pull up this viddy oh is that is that kanye

00:20:02.000 falling off a horse okay joe that must have been she where he quit smoking the reef marijuana

00:20:10.000 is obviously a big issue in this country well you would know chich are you chugging what 1.00

00:20:15.000 do you actually wait i i have an idea okay This is something that's just coming to me.

00:20:22.000 What if you, Joe Rogan, moderate a presidential debate?

00:20:30.000 Could you convince CBS and NBC and ABC to go along with something like that?

00:20:34.000 Probably not.

00:20:36.000 But I'll put pets on it.

00:20:37.000 You'll just need to, probably, frankly, I wouldn't even ask you this, but you'd probably need to redact your endorsement of Crazy Bernie. 1.00

00:20:44.000 I mean, he was just a horrific, homicidal f***ing psychopath. 0.99

00:20:50.000 We get it! 1.00

00:20:51.000 We get it!

00:20:52.000 Keeps going back to that.

00:20:53.000 I'll tell you what, though, Joe Rogan, the power of new media, he can get anyone he wants.

00:20:57.000 Anybody that he wants.

00:20:59.000 Powerful Joe Rogan.

00:20:59.000 Good for him.

00:21:00.000 Hey, who's the trivia contest winner from last week?

00:21:02.000 The trivia winner is Shamandin.

00:21:04.000 I don't know.

00:21:05.000 That's a weird name.

00:21:05.000 Tremendous one.

00:21:08.000 He knew my original nickname.

00:21:09.000 What was your nickname?

00:21:10.000 It was Key Grip Garrett.

00:21:11.000 Key Grip Garrett?

00:21:12.000 That's true! 0.98

00:21:13.000 It was Key Grip Garrett until we actually all found out that you were a quarter black. 1.00

00:21:17.000 Yes. 0.98

00:21:18.000 I came out of the black closet.

00:21:19.000 And we were stunned.

00:21:20.000 You did.

00:21:20.000 Yeah.

00:21:21.000 It wasn't really the black closet.

00:21:22.000 It was a broom closet.

00:21:22.000 We didn't have much room in the old edit desk.

00:21:24.000 And we put you there because we didn't value your work.

00:21:26.000 But that's changed.

00:21:27.000 No.

00:21:27.000 Not anymore.

00:21:28.000 Not anymore.

00:21:29.000 I appreciate it.

00:21:29.000 Yes.

00:21:30.000 Thank you, man.

00:21:30.000 I appreciate you taking 77 cents on the white dollar.

00:21:36.000 It is time, actually.

00:21:37.000 Do we have a meat segment intro?

00:21:39.000 We don't need a meat segment intro because this week it's a little bit different, so it's a POS intro.

00:21:44.000 So let's talk about Mike Bloomberg.

00:21:45.000 Again, I want to know what you guys think.

00:21:47.000 Is he the same kind of billionaire as Donald Trump?

00:21:49.000 Why do people see Donald Trump as a billionaire who's of the people, a little more in touch, and Mike Bloomberg as someone who is completely, totally out of touch?

00:21:57.000 I think it's because of exactly the kind of behavior that we've seen from Bloomberg the last two weeks.

00:22:01.000 He did it to himself.

00:22:02.000 He's basically trying to buy his way into an election, whereas if you look at Donald Trump, he did actually go through the process.

00:22:07.000 He was in there early on in the primaries.

00:22:10.000 I mean, it was a tough slog, and I just think people didn't know.

00:22:13.000 How do you prepare for Donald Trump in a debate?

00:22:15.000 Like, Ted Cruz, Harvard Law Review, right? 0.99

00:22:17.000 Actually published, unlike Barack Obama, and he shows up, he's ready, and then Donald Trump just says, you're dead, kill JFK! 0.98

00:22:26.000 He said no! 0.95

00:22:30.000 He's flat-footed!

00:22:31.000 He wasn't ready!

00:22:34.000 Of course he wasn't ready!

00:22:36.000 No one would be ready for the insinuation that your dad plotted to murder JFK!

00:22:41.000 I don't know if he's a genius, or it's just a little bit of a Chauncey Gardner effect, but it worked for him, as opposed to Bloomberg, who's just spending all of his own money.

00:22:48.000 Donald Trump actually had some donors.

00:22:49.000 People wanted Donald Trump to win.

00:22:51.000 I don't know that anyone wants Bloomberg to win.

00:22:54.000 This was his first debate performance last night, and it was universally panned as a disaster.

00:22:59.000 As a matter of fact, for people who missed it, the whole debate was a disaster.

00:23:03.000 Let's talk about the majors.

00:23:08.000 Hello, hello, hello.

00:23:11.000 Thank you.

00:23:11.000 Senator Warren and Mayor Bloomberg, this question is for you.

00:23:16.000 I want to talk about, and maybe this is appropriate.

00:23:20.000 He sounds like the Lily Tomlin operator.

00:23:22.000 Hello, hello, hello.

00:23:23.000 I'll have to call you back.

00:23:24.000 That cyanide pill can't kick in fast enough.

00:23:27.000 I've got the conch!

00:23:28.000 What's the absorption rate?

00:23:29.000 Do Ethiopian genetics affect it?

00:23:31.000 I have no idea.

00:23:32.000 Are you an ultra-rapid metabolizer? 0.99

00:23:34.000 The point is, I get that you want to die, Lester. 0.97

00:23:37.000 So did I. So, let's look at all the reasons that Mike Bloomberg is...

00:23:42.000 A piece of s***. 0.98

00:23:43.000 Alright, I'm gonna bring in my half-Asian lawyer, Bill, because he's uncomfortable, 1.00

00:23:51.000 and so I'm gonna bring you in more against your will.

00:23:53.000 We're going to complain that you're so quiet today.

00:23:55.000 Reason number five is, I think a lot of people remember this, the soda ban.

00:24:00.000 Boo! 0.83

00:24:01.000 A lot of people maybe didn't understand how unpopular this was in New York City, of all places.

00:24:08.000 So in 2012, Bloomberg actually banned sodas over 16 ounces in all of New York City.

00:24:14.000 I think that you're not going to see a lot of pushback here at all.

00:24:17.000 I think everybody across this country should do it.

00:24:19.000 He may not have expected to hold another press conference later that same day.

00:24:24.000 You've expended so much personal political capital on this.

00:24:28.000 I didn't spend political capital.

00:24:29.000 I'm trying to do what's right.

00:24:31.000 I've got to defend the children and you and everybody else and do what's right to save lives.

00:24:38.000 Obesity kills.

00:24:39.000 There's just no question about it.

00:24:42.000 He banned sodas and then, of course, represented the Lonely Pumpkin.

00:24:49.000 And then, by the way, the band was promptly shut down by a New York Supreme Court judge.

00:24:54.000 Though I will say, to be fair, many people believe he was bought and paid off by Big Quick Trip.

00:24:58.000 So there's that.

00:24:58.000 Do with it what you will.

00:25:01.000 Damning evidence.

00:25:02.000 As a lawyer, What is- how did he think that just a ban of 16- and by the way, 16 ounces isn't that much.

00:25:07.000 That's not a lot.

00:25:08.000 When I read big gulps, I was thinking the big, you know, the plastic.

00:25:10.000 Right, right, yeah.

00:25:11.000 The sort of double-walled.

00:25:12.000 No, the huge one.

00:25:13.000 16 ounces is the medium size.

00:25:14.000 Yeah.

00:25:15.000 I have no idea.

00:25:15.000 It's not even the big gulp.

00:25:16.000 Big gulp's like 32.

00:25:17.000 This is like half a gulp.

00:25:18.000 No, big gulp is like 48.

00:25:20.000 Is it really?

00:25:20.000 I don't know.

00:25:21.000 What's a big gulp?

00:25:21.000 There's super big gulps, double big gulps.

00:25:23.000 Really?

00:25:24.000 I used to be a 7-Eleven kid.

00:25:25.000 Sorry.

00:25:25.000 Really?

00:25:25.000 Why would you go to 7-Eleven?

00:25:26.000 7-Eleven is where dreams go to die.

00:25:28.000 You go to Quick Trip or Race Trip.

00:25:30.000 But they didn't exist.

00:25:31.000 He was conceiving 7-Eleven.

00:25:34.000 I didn't say 7-Eleven Baby Wade.

00:25:36.000 Oh, excuse me.

00:25:37.000 Thank you for correcting and taking it incredibly literally.

00:25:41.000 When Gerald is buying his Black and Milds, he goes and gets a Big Gulp, and the Big Gulp has changed over time.

00:25:46.000 But on the legal point, there's clearly, everyone attacked this on the left, the right, because either it wasn't enough, it wasn't specific enough, how are you going to say what the type of drink is, the specific thing that we're involved with, but then you're actually contributing to more problems because now people are just buying multiple packs of drinks, they're going in and buying multiple cups, so instead of one larger cup, less.

00:26:06.000 It's bad for the environment.

00:26:07.000 It is.

00:26:07.000 Then you end up with what we call the Chris Pratt effect.

00:26:10.000 Yes.

00:26:10.000 He comes in, and he's very, very, very in trouble.

00:26:13.000 Oh, I meant that he had plastic bottles.

00:26:14.000 Yeah.

00:26:15.000 Well, look, if he's trying to prevent people from drinking, like, super sugary drinks, one, you shouldn't be doing that.

00:26:19.000 Let people make their own decisions.

00:26:20.000 But it banned, like, diet and sugar-free things as well.

00:26:23.000 It's a catch-all.

00:26:23.000 Seriously?

00:26:24.000 It can be iced tea.

00:26:25.000 It can be a health thing.

00:26:27.000 This is a perfect example of the unintended consequences in giving all of your rights over to the government.

00:26:32.000 If you declare everything to be a constitutional right, like they do in Germany, I don't think they have the same constitution that we do, but they declare Internet a right.

00:26:37.000 I don't think they do either.

00:26:38.000 So if you declare it a right, goods and services, that right can be taken away.

00:26:41.000 This is someone who has no concept of the parameters of government, even if it may help people.

00:26:46.000 And it won't.

00:26:47.000 Let's assume that it may make people healthier.

00:26:49.000 It's not your job to ensure that people don't overimbibe Mr. Pip.

00:26:55.000 Boo.

00:26:55.000 Who drinks Mr. Pibbitt?

00:26:57.000 Taco Bell exclusively has Mr. Pibbitt.

00:26:59.000 Also, by the way, I think he tried to ban Taco Bell.

00:27:01.000 Those are for personal reasons we can't get into.

00:27:03.000 There's an NDA here. 0.99

00:27:04.000 So, reason number four as to why he's such a piece of excrement. 0.99

00:27:09.000 A lot of people don't know. 0.99

00:27:10.000 Do you remember the homeless food ban?

00:27:11.000 I didn't hear about this.

00:27:12.000 Yeah, I didn't know.

00:27:13.000 So, he actually banned food donations to the homeless because the city couldn't, quote, assess their salt, fat, and fiber content.

00:27:21.000 So no food at all.

00:27:24.000 That's better.

00:27:24.000 And by the way, that eliminates pretty much everything in a can drive.

00:27:28.000 You're not buying prime organic ribeye and going, let me toss this in the bag next to the Girl Scout cookies.

00:27:33.000 No, you're putting in the Jolly Green Giant green beans.

00:27:37.000 If anything, now you'd just be doing it to spite Bloomberg.

00:27:39.000 It's not like they were trying to donate the bottom of the muffin.

00:27:41.000 I mean, who would do that?

00:27:43.000 I would just give him bush beans.

00:27:45.000 That's what it would be.

00:27:46.000 I would give him bush beans just to piss you off, Bloomberg.

00:27:49.000 And this is important to note because he wants to be president of the United States.

00:27:53.000 And I think it's important to know that this is someone who probably won't be president, or let's be honest, he won't be president, okay?

00:27:58.000 If it's Bloomberg and Hillary Clinton 2020, let's just call it Trump 2020.

00:28:03.000 Just put that one up on the scoreboard, let's be honest here.

00:28:06.000 But he wants to push these diet regulations at the absolute highest levels of government.

00:28:12.000 Right, okay.

00:28:12.000 We get it.

00:28:13.000 No one should be allowed salty, fatty food ever.

00:28:15.000 What we eat is really crucial to our health and our fitness.

00:28:19.000 Governments at all levels must make healthy solutions the default social option.

00:28:24.000 For the things that we run, because of all sorts of safety reasons, we just have a policy,

00:28:30.000 it's my understanding, of not taking donations.

00:28:33.000 Right, okay, we get it.

00:28:35.000 No one should be allowed salty, fatty food ever.

00:28:39.000 Except...

00:28:40.000 Oh no, no, whoops. 0.92

00:28:48.000 I hate him so much. 0.55

00:28:51.000 It's a hot dog. 0.94

00:28:52.000 He likes it!

00:28:55.000 Think about it.

00:28:56.000 He wants to set a rule, a law that you have no respect for.

00:28:59.000 At that point, you know what?

00:29:00.000 I got to say, that's a little bit gangster of him. 0.89

00:29:03.000 Maybe just Bloomberg is a pimp. 0.58

00:29:04.000 He's just like, you know what?

00:29:05.000 I'm going to create some laws you have to obey, and I'm going to enjoy my street food.

00:29:08.000 Good for you, Bloomberg. 0.92

00:29:10.000 You affected elitist prick.

00:29:11.000 By the way, he also wants you to know that the face is just genetic.

00:29:15.000 He didn't have shingles.

00:29:16.000 It's good.

00:29:17.000 It's good.

00:29:17.000 Everyone had a question.

00:29:18.000 We did have questions. 0.97

00:29:20.000 But his campaign will be a dumpster fire. 0.99

00:29:21.000 So, reason number three that he is a piece of walking fecal matter. 1.00

00:29:25.000 Can you be a piece of fecal matter? 0.85

00:29:26.000 I don't think you can walk at the same time. 1.00

00:29:28.000 You're a grammar Nazi audio wave. 1.00

00:29:29.000 You can be a piece of fecal matter. 1.00

00:29:31.000 Certainly. 0.99

00:29:31.000 A gaggle. 0.99

00:29:32.000 A gaggle of fecal matter.

00:29:33.000 I love how he says certainly when it's very clear that he's uncertain.

00:29:36.000 Right.

00:29:36.000 Certainly.

00:29:38.000 It's like when a fighter knows he's going to lose and he's trying to, like, I am confident that I will win because I think I'm better?

00:29:44.000 No, you don't.

00:29:45.000 No, you do not.

00:29:46.000 You've already lost.

00:29:47.000 You're going to take a dive.

00:29:48.000 So reason number three, this is a good example.

00:29:51.000 And this is also why I would like him to run.

00:29:53.000 Because talk about the coastal elites, right?

00:29:55.000 This is someone who has, he's so out of touch with middle America, he doesn't realize that this will come back to bite him.

00:30:01.000 People want to talk about the NDAs and the sexual harassment.

00:30:03.000 The truth is, like Donald Trump has shown, you can turn that into a positive if you have the right spin, doctors.

00:30:09.000 I said they let you, cup, cup.

00:30:14.000 Fish hook.

00:30:15.000 Of their own volition, folks. 1.00

00:30:17.000 So he did say this, though, far worse than the NDAs or sexual, that farmers are effectively idiots. 1.00

00:30:23.000 So he claimed in this, I think we have this clip, right? 0.99

00:30:26.000 That anyone could be taught, that anyone could farm, but that tech jobs take, quote, real gray matter.

00:30:31.000 Here you go.

00:30:32.000 And we can teach processes.

00:30:33.000 I could teach anybody, even people in this room, so no offense intended, to be a farmer.

00:30:39.000 It's a process.

00:30:40.000 You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn.

00:30:44.000 Wow.

00:30:44.000 That's all that goes on.

00:30:46.000 Wow.

00:30:47.000 That's because you did farming.

00:30:48.000 I knew I'd seen him somewhere, Bloomberg.

00:30:50.000 Good for him.

00:30:51.000 Did you notice that he also said process-y singular? 0.99

00:30:56.000 If I ever say anything that stupid, please immediately call me on it. 0.99

00:30:59.000 Not this show. 0.99

00:30:59.000 We'll do it afterwards. 0.99

00:31:00.000 We'll have a long list.

00:31:01.000 But there's misspeaking.

00:31:02.000 Like, I get it.

00:31:03.000 I said Nike as opposed to Nike because of the French-Canadian. 1.00

00:31:06.000 Or solace sounds like sawless, and that's just because I'm a stupid Canadian. 1.00

00:31:09.000 It's a silly country. 1.00

00:31:10.000 But process-y shows, you don't understand that word. 0.99

00:31:14.000 Right.

00:31:15.000 You don't know what that word is supposed to mean?

00:31:17.000 You don't know what it's supposed to mean.

00:31:19.000 Speaking of things that people don't understand, please do hit the notification bell if you're watching on YouTube.

00:31:23.000 Hit all notifications because otherwise you don't get them at all, I guess, anymore.

00:31:27.000 And subscriptions don't mean a lot.

00:31:29.000 There's also Crowder Bits channel where you get to go and watch some exclusive content.

00:31:32.000 Of course, Mug Club is what keeps the doors open because We're not monetized, but that's not really a spoiler.

00:31:37.000 You all know that.

00:31:38.000 If you've read a news article in the last year, ever.

00:31:42.000 Reason number two.

00:31:43.000 We have two more reasons to get to, then we have Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.

00:31:46.000 I don't know any other way to frame this, but he wants old cancer patients to die?

00:31:51.000 Yeah.

00:31:52.000 That's accurate.

00:31:53.000 That's accurate.

00:31:54.000 Allow me to explain, but here's the thing.

00:31:55.000 I'm on board.

00:31:58.000 You're voting Mike now, aren't you?

00:31:59.000 He held it in the whole show.

00:32:00.000 How very Chinese of you. 0.96

00:32:02.000 I was saying nothing just so that would have the impact I intended.

00:32:05.000 Right.

00:32:05.000 So let me tell you all the reason... No, I'm kidding.

00:32:07.000 Long game.

00:32:08.000 No, I want to hear this.

00:32:08.000 I want to hear this.

00:32:09.000 Go ahead.

00:32:09.000 One child policy and no cancers.

00:32:12.000 Exactly.

00:32:12.000 Okay.

00:32:13.000 All right.

00:32:13.000 That ends there.

00:32:15.000 He realized, he was like, this is funny, and he realized, I have to stroll into court tomorrow.

00:32:18.000 I have an actual job outside of this.

00:32:20.000 Yep, just in the morning.

00:32:21.000 So let me explain the context of this.

00:32:23.000 I'm not, this isn't actually hyperbole at all.

00:32:26.000 He wants to expand government-run healthcare, of course.

00:32:28.000 They all do.

00:32:29.000 And he's praised socialized medicine in Europe, we know that.

00:32:31.000 But he has some very interesting ideas.

00:32:34.000 I don't think it's any different than the people who are pushing for Medicare for All.

00:32:37.000 They just don't usually come out and say it this way, as to how they might cut some healthcare costs.

00:32:43.000 And we've got to sit here and say which things we're going to do and which things we're not.

00:32:47.000 Nobody wants to do that.

00:32:49.000 You know, you show up with prostate cancer and you're 95 years old, we should say, go and enjoy, have a nice meal, live a long life.

00:32:58.000 There's no cure. 1.00

00:33:02.000 What a piece of shit, right? 1.00

00:33:09.000 Oh my gosh. 1.00

00:33:10.000 And here's the thing, he doesn't even consider the fact that you're not the one who's supposed to decide.

00:33:15.000 I get that logically people are saying someone's 95, they probably don't have long to live.

00:33:19.000 Here's the thing, It doesn't matter if they want to pay for health care. 0.83

00:33:23.000 Bloomberg doesn't get to choose whether they live or die.

00:33:26.000 And by the way, this is what happens in socialized health care countries.

00:33:29.000 A lot of people don't know this.

00:33:31.000 That is very common.

00:33:32.000 Later in the meeting, he went on to describe how socialized health care was superior to ours, by the way.

00:33:36.000 And he said, if you look in Europe, we spend here about $7,000 odd per person per year on health care.

00:33:42.000 In Europe, it's about $3,300, less than half.

00:33:46.000 And their life expectancy is two to three years greater.

00:33:49.000 Here's the thing, a lot of people wonder, it's a common stat people cite, life expectancy is not related to health care.

00:33:56.000 We have test holiday!

00:33:57.000 That changes the average by like three years!

00:34:01.000 Just so you know, people can choose to be obese, people can choose to be very fit.

00:34:06.000 A good example of that is Texas, right?

00:34:07.000 I think Houston is the fattest city, I think, in the country.

00:34:10.000 Yeah, that's what I believe.

00:34:11.000 And depending where you go, obviously there's a higher concentration of them at the last Kmart left.

00:34:17.000 Yeah.

00:34:18.000 And if they're shooting a Hover Round commercial.

00:34:20.000 They sell nothing less than 16 ounces.

00:34:22.000 I think Dallas, if I'm not mistaken, was rated one of the city with the most fit people because you have a lot of athletes. 0.98

00:34:27.000 Here's the thing, if you are in Texas, you can eat incredibly healthily at a very low price or you can eat nothing but crap. 0.94

00:34:35.000 That's the byproduct of freedom. 0.96

00:34:37.000 That's also the byproduct of being able to pay for your own health care.

00:34:40.000 You get to choose when you no longer pay for health care or when your life is no longer worth living.

00:34:46.000 Bloomberg It doesn't even occur to him because they believe that all of the rights belong to them.

00:34:51.000 So I was talking to a gentleman from Scandinavia and he was saying, you know, if you don't... Why would you?

00:34:58.000 What?

00:34:58.000 Was he a chef?

00:34:59.000 Go ahead.

00:34:59.000 Yes.

00:35:00.000 So he was telling me about what people don't realize is that you eliminate the choices.

00:35:04.000 Once you move to a centralized system, you naturally drive out of the market any of the private options.

00:35:09.000 And so there become less and less and less, and those that are available are more and more expensive.

00:35:12.000 So when you have a 95-year-old who says, I would like to get treatment, he may not even have the option to go pay for it within his own nation.

00:35:20.000 So a lot of the wealthy in these Scandinavian nations and other nations with socialized medicine, they will fly to the United States and get care because we still have the option to buy it.

00:35:29.000 So what people say is they go, well, you know, at that point, sure, the central government isn't going to pay for it, but they'll have other options.

00:35:35.000 But once you've implemented this system, there is no market to keep the private option available.

00:35:39.000 And it's so odd that he picked prostate cancer in a 95-year-old as an example.

00:35:43.000 So I get 95, you're doing pretty well.

00:35:45.000 I have a grandmother-in-law who's 96 and she's doing really well.

00:35:48.000 What if people who live to 110, 111, I think oldest person is 112, all the time. 0.60

00:35:54.000 So, prostate cancer is a very slow-moving cancer, it's a very treatable cancer.

00:35:57.000 What if that guy is one of those people who treats the prostate cancer and drinks a glass of wine every day to the day he dies and lives to 112?

00:36:03.000 You've just robbed him of... 17.

00:36:03.000 Well, you've just robbed him of 17 years.

00:36:12.000 And keep in mind, by the way, this is very common.

00:36:14.000 It's not even a controversial issue in Europe, even to the extremes of death panels.

00:36:18.000 Remember, people got really mad when we talked about death panels.

00:36:21.000 Do you remember the cases of, I think it was Charlie Gard, Alfie Evans?

00:36:23.000 They're both children, severe health problems, who wanted to try alternative treatments.

00:36:27.000 The UK government decided that it was time for them to die.

00:36:31.000 And those are extreme examples.

00:36:32.000 Let's go to the rule rather than the exception.

00:36:34.000 Rationing surgery is extremely common in places like the UK.

00:36:38.000 Elderly blind patients, they're currently forced to wait a year and a half for simple cataract surgery.

00:36:42.000 I had a girlfriend, by the way, in high school whose dad was German, actually fought for Hitler.

00:36:45.000 He refused to get his cataract removed because the doctor was Jewish. 0.77

00:36:47.000 True story! 0.91

00:36:49.000 I about pissed myself laughing and then felt really bad and told him he was a racist.

00:36:53.000 They sent him to a second doctor.

00:36:55.000 He wouldn't get it removed because he was Arabic. 1.00

00:36:57.000 True story!

00:36:58.000 Wow!

00:36:58.000 Yes, yes, true story.

00:36:59.000 Gosh, rolled the dice twice and lost.

00:37:00.000 And the thing is, when I was introduced to him, they're like, hey, here, this is Eppie.

00:37:04.000 And he fought for Hitler, but he doesn't believe it.

00:37:06.000 And then I find out he's refusing care from Jewish doctors.

00:37:09.000 You might believe it a little bit.

00:37:10.000 Old habits die hard, I guess.

00:37:11.000 And this is something, too, a lot of people don't know.

00:37:12.000 In Canada, where I was raised, my mom was having to wait a year and a half for an MRI. 0.52

00:37:16.000 Wow, that's crazy.

00:37:16.000 When my family moved to Canada in the 90s, there were only 12 in the entire country.

00:37:21.000 Wow.

00:37:21.000 And my mom ended up getting one, I think, within about seven or eight months, because in a lot of these socialized systems, if you have cash, you can find a doctor.

00:37:28.000 Right.

00:37:28.000 But the Supreme Court in Canada, Chauvi versus Quebec, have talked about this quite a bit.

00:37:32.000 It didn't happen until after I moved away, actually declared it a violation of human rights, not civil rights, because it was entirely socialized.

00:37:39.000 You were not allowed to have private insurance at that point, or you couldn't rather pay cash to a doctor.

00:37:44.000 Let's say you were dying, you had cancer, and you wanted to pay for alternative treatment, or you just didn't want to wait.

00:37:49.000 You weren't allowed to pay for a doctor.

00:37:51.000 There was a doctor named Chawi who decided to compassionately take care of these patients, right?

00:37:55.000 Then he was put out of business because that was illegal.

00:37:58.000 The Supreme Court ruled it a violation of human rights, I believe in 2005, to force patients

00:38:04.000 who are effectively on death row into the waiting lines of socialized healthcare

00:38:09.000 if they want to pay for their own healthcare.

00:38:13.000 So now they have what they call super hospitals, or as we know them in the United States, hospitals.

00:38:17.000 Yeah.

00:38:18.000 Nice.

00:38:19.000 This is one of the most baffling arguments to me, right?

00:38:21.000 When you're trying to solve the healthcare problem.

00:38:23.000 There's two parts to it.

00:38:24.000 One is we know that when you go and pay cash for services that you pay a fraction of the price

00:38:28.000 that you would have to pay on insurance, right?

00:38:29.000 So the solution is abundantly clear.

00:38:32.000 You can go and see what the solution is every single day.

00:38:34.000 The next thing is, why are they constantly running to pushing everybody onto a program where the absolute end result is you don't get to decide about your healthcare anymore?

00:38:43.000 You are no longer the person in charge of what happens for yourself.

00:38:45.000 It's about the ends justifying the means, right?

00:38:48.000 It's not about the best care.

00:38:49.000 It's about it being easy.

00:38:50.000 It's about it being centralized.

00:38:51.000 Then it's power.

00:38:53.000 It's 100% powerful.

00:38:54.000 When have you ever actually heard Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren say, we would have better care?

00:38:58.000 They say it might be cheaper, they say it'll be less complicated, you won't have to deal with insurance companies, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans actually want people to keep their insurance plans.

00:39:07.000 They always argue it's the right thing to do, not that it's going to be better quality of care.

00:39:10.000 Right, because dealing with the government has proven easier than dealing with insurance companies, right?

00:39:14.000 Well that's their argument.

00:39:15.000 Not at all like Medicare, you know, or people like Medicare and Medicaid, but you're dealing with very very small

00:39:19.000 percentage of people you expand it It gets more difficult. By the way pops Crowder is he's

00:39:24.000 usually around here in the studio He's getting a bicep reattachment surgery done today. He

00:39:28.000 flexed too hard when it just popped. No, he didn't it was it

00:39:31.000 It was actually even Brendan when they were doing Jiu-Jitsu, and he snapped his bicep and we fired him very promptly.

00:39:36.000 So you should feel very guilty about that, Brendan.

00:39:38.000 Bye, Brendan.

00:39:38.000 Go find something.

00:39:39.000 No, but you know what?

00:39:40.000 That's a good example.

00:39:40.000 There's a window that closes.

00:39:42.000 Right now, he's going through this where your bicep basically scars over.

00:39:44.000 You have to get it done within two weeks.

00:39:46.000 And he thought he was fine.

00:39:47.000 That's the scary thing.

00:39:48.000 I don't know if you heard, he just heard like a twang.

00:39:50.000 He was like, oh.

00:39:51.000 He goes, I think something's wrong.

00:39:53.000 And then after, when I looked, I'm like, is your arm supposed to look like a window shade rolled up?

00:39:59.000 Like when Pepe LaPuce, he's a really attractive skunk, and it looks like it's a bib, and it goes... That was his bicep. 0.85

00:40:05.000 And he said, no, I don't think it's supposed to be that.

00:40:07.000 Went into a doctor.

00:40:08.000 Immediately, he gets to go into surgery.

00:40:09.000 He's going to be in there before the cutoff.

00:40:11.000 There's no way that would have happened in Canada.

00:40:12.000 None.

00:40:13.000 No way whatsoever.

00:40:14.000 So, I know, you want socialized health care, a lot of you.

00:40:18.000 I'm not a fan. 1.00

00:40:18.000 Reason number one that Michael Bloomberg is, in fact, a piece of shit. 1.00

00:40:23.000 And I think this is the obvious one. 1.00

00:40:25.000 He's just a billionaire who's literally attempting to buy an election.

00:40:29.000 Right, notice that here's some numbers that a lot of people don't necessarily know.

00:40:32.000 Have you noticed the charities that have been endorsing Bloomberg?

00:40:34.000 Coincidentally, he gave them millions.

00:40:37.000 By the way, millions of dollars.

00:40:38.000 What about the Democrats surprisingly endorsing Bloomberg?

00:40:41.000 Surely they must believe in his ideas.

00:40:44.000 They like the Liza Minnelli tracksuit that he wears.

00:40:47.000 Maybe, but it also doesn't hurt Bloomberg that the three House Democrats supporting him received $8.9 million from him in the 2018 midterms.

00:40:57.000 Not connected at all.

00:40:58.000 No.

00:40:59.000 By the way, that law works like a charm, doesn't it, with campaign donation caps?

00:41:02.000 It does.

00:41:02.000 Everything.

00:41:03.000 It really does.

00:41:04.000 I'm glad they got Dinesh D'Souza. 1.00

00:41:05.000 That jerk. 1.00

00:41:06.000 Yeah, they got Dinesh D'Souza. 1.00

00:41:07.000 Dinesh D'Souza did hard time for, I think, giving five grand to a friend of his running for a Senate seat that didn't even win.

00:41:14.000 He's walking around with an ankle bracelet having a blow in his Nissan to make sure that he can go down to the store to get a gallon of milk.

00:41:20.000 This guy's giving 8.9 million dollars to people endorsing him on a national platform. 1.00

00:41:25.000 What a piece of shit! 1.00

00:41:27.000 And have you seen the folks, there's another thing, the folks endorsing Bloomberg on social media? 1.00

00:41:31.000 Hey, I take that personally.

00:41:32.000 I will spend that $150 wisely.

00:41:34.000 Yes, so will I. He'll pay anyone with 1,000 to 100,000 followers on Twitter or Instagram $150 for an endorsement, which begs the question, how much for a million or 5 million YouTube subscribers?

00:41:46.000 You can reach out at info at ladderwithpedder.com.

00:41:49.000 Just DM us, right?

00:41:49.000 But here's what I hope happens.

00:41:51.000 I hope he spends tons of money.

00:41:52.000 He will, right?

00:41:52.000 He's spending tons of his own money to do this.

00:41:54.000 All of it's his own money, obviously.

00:41:55.000 Which he can do.

00:41:55.000 I don't have a problem with that.

00:41:56.000 And I do, right?

00:41:57.000 And he is completely honest about it.

00:41:58.000 He is telling the public.

00:41:59.000 He's telegraphing it.

00:42:00.000 I'm trying to buy the election.

00:42:01.000 I understand elections cost a lot of money.

00:42:03.000 I just hope he loses a ton of money in the process.

00:42:06.000 I don't know if it'll hurt him, because he's got so much of it, because he's going to lose either way.

00:42:09.000 There's no way around this.

00:42:11.000 But hopefully it costs him a lot.

00:42:12.000 I hope it hurts. 0.74

00:42:13.000 I hope he gets shingled. 0.89

00:42:14.000 I think he already did.

00:42:16.000 I mean, you're just going to spend $300, $400, $500 million?

00:42:19.000 Great.

00:42:20.000 Boost the economy.

00:42:20.000 Everyone will laugh at you.

00:42:21.000 We got more laughs out of it.

00:42:23.000 I mean, I was excited to see him in the debate.

00:42:24.000 It was entertaining.

00:42:26.000 So I feel like America's winning with this, and he's going to lose.

00:42:29.000 Yeah, no, he will absolutely lose.

00:42:30.000 Well, hopefully this money that's being spent on him is being thrown down the toilet, right?

00:42:35.000 It's not being spent on another Democrat candidate that he's boosting and supporting, right?

00:42:39.000 He's not boosting their campaign.

00:42:40.000 So maybe that's a win.

00:42:41.000 It is really remarkable here where you try to figure out Brodigan who works for us is

00:42:45.000 really wonkish.

00:42:46.000 I don't know what the Democrats are doing.

00:42:48.000 It's like you have the Warren, you have the Sanders of the world, the radical left

00:42:51.000 socialists.

00:42:52.000 And I think what's happening is they realize, oh my gosh, actually people don't want a

00:42:56.000 radical socialist, so I don't think this is going to work.

00:42:58.000 And so rather than recalibrate, you'd think they'd go with a Klobuchar or a Biden.

00:43:01.000 They're going, I know, we need someone who's a real centrist, so we're going to go with

00:43:05.000 a corporate billionaire elite in Bloomberg and Hillary Clinton.

00:43:10.000 We're going to go so far the other way to guarantee the Midwest is a red wave, the likes 1.00

00:43:16.000 of which we've never seen.

00:43:17.000 How do you go from Bernie Sanders to Bloomberg?

00:43:21.000 Split the difference, folks!

00:43:23.000 Give Club would show just a couple extra minutes for her comebacks. 1.00

00:43:26.000 I'm sure she'll do you right.

00:43:28.000 Eventually.

00:43:29.000 It just takes a minute.

00:43:30.000 This is, I think, the big problem I have with Bloomberg.

00:43:32.000 It's most emblematic because it's just sort of bumbling.

00:43:36.000 Bernie Sanders proactively...

00:43:39.000 Blatant, just wanton disregard for the Constitution or parameters of appropriate limited government.

00:43:44.000 I don't think Bloomberg has any understanding, because he's so wealthy, he's such an elitist, he's surrounded by yes-men, he has been for so long that he doesn't understand that he's not a king, that he shouldn't be in charge of these issues.

00:43:54.000 And by the way, let's compare this to President Donald Trump, when people say, well, he's a billionaire, so he's a dictator.

00:43:59.000 Really?

00:44:00.000 By lower taxes and deregulation and allowing more people to have guns?

00:44:05.000 Allowing more businesses to open up?

00:44:07.000 Fewer stringent regulations?

00:44:08.000 You can say whatever you want, but that's not exactly the actions of an autocratic dictator.

00:44:14.000 Bloomberg thinks he can control what you drink.

00:44:16.000 And by the way, 16 ounces, that's not a whole lot.

00:44:18.000 That's not even a large... It's Starbucks.

00:44:21.000 When I go to Starbucks Reserve and I ask them to make me one of those Clover coffee machines, it's very rare.

00:44:25.000 I was on the road and I was like, yeah, I want to see it.

00:44:26.000 It comes up like a puck, like a burger patty, and they squeegee it.

00:44:30.000 The coffee's terrible, but I just wanted to see how it worked.

00:44:33.000 It's an experience, right?

00:44:34.000 I brought them my thermos.

00:44:35.000 They said, we can't use that.

00:44:36.000 I said, what?

00:44:37.000 They said, it's too small.

00:44:37.000 I said, it's 10 ounces.

00:44:40.000 They said, we don't start before 14.

00:44:41.000 I said, what?

00:44:43.000 You have a 10-ounce thermos?

00:44:44.000 That's two less than Mike Bloomberg wants to ban in his city!

00:44:48.000 And you want to put this man in the office?

00:44:50.000 I'm saying that, of course, facetiously.

00:44:52.000 I know that none of you want to put him in office anywhere, at any point.

00:44:56.000 And these are, and we have to get to Giuliani in a little bit, these are the unintended consequences of big government.

00:45:01.000 It may sound good at this point, Medicare for all.

00:45:04.000 Let's assume that the quality of care would actually be better, or Medicaid for all, or some kind of a centralized public option.

00:45:10.000 Let's assume it would actually be better.

00:45:11.000 It doesn't matter, because long term, you lose your choice, and they can decide what health care is taken away.

00:45:18.000 Maybe long term, people not drinking big gulps, I think we would all agree, lots of sugary sodas, not good for you.

00:45:23.000 But if you think, hey, that will be better for me, so let's have the government step in.

00:45:27.000 It's their job to keep us safe.

00:45:29.000 It's their job to ensure health.

00:45:30.000 Guess what?

00:45:30.000 It's their job to take away whatever they want.

00:45:33.000 These are the people who told us that saturated fat and that egg yolks were bad.

00:45:37.000 That tallow was bad for McDonald's fries, so they started cooking them with hydrogenated vegetable oil.

00:45:41.000 Now they're going, oh, sorry, we were wrong about that.

00:45:44.000 Sorry to everyone who has elevated LDL and cancer.

00:45:47.000 We were mistaken, but the vegan activists and the USDA kind of screwed the pooch on this one.

00:45:52.000 By the way, you can eat eggs now. 1.00

00:45:54.000 Fuck you! 1.00

00:45:55.000 I am so tired of being told that I cannot eat eggs or bacon, and now, now it's a good thing. 1.00

00:46:00.000 And then you have people who go so far, now they're the carnivore diet, and now the USDA is going the other way.

00:46:04.000 We don't know!

00:46:05.000 What is the food pyramid?

00:46:07.000 Can anyone tell me what the appropriate food pyramid is?

00:46:09.000 Whatever Mike Bloomberg says, I believe the opposite.

00:46:13.000 Let's just go with that.

00:46:14.000 Whenever you allow the government to step into the realm of no longer rights, what are rights?

00:46:18.000 They're enshrined in the Constitution.

00:46:20.000 Freedom of speech, freedom of self-preservation, freedom from unwarranted search and seizure.

00:46:24.000 But goods and services, like drinks, like healthcare, like...

00:46:28.000 Yeah, even drinking water being filtered and piped to your tap.

00:46:31.000 When you allow the government to have complete control over goods and services, they can take them away, and you end up with 12-ounce soft drinks, which we all know are not satisfying, and some might argue, more importantly, death panels. 0.98

00:46:44.000 This has been this week's What a Piece of Sh**. 0.98

00:46:47.000 Alright, I need to go find Hillary Clinton's Diazepam pen and stab myself because I have 0.99

00:46:57.000 Rudy Giuliani coming up after this. 0.97

00:46:59.000 I need to be better behaved.

00:46:59.000 I'm a fan.

00:47:00.000 Bimbo, bimbo. 0.99

00:47:01.000 My name is Mr. Susan.

00:47:02.000 You must choose.

00:47:03.000 And now it's time for you to do the choosing.

00:47:05.000 I am Mr. T.

00:47:06.000 Bimbo. 0.99

00:47:07.000 I get it, Joe.

00:47:08.000 Hey, JB, could you bring up the clip of the turtle humping a timberland?

00:47:21.000 Have you seen it?

00:47:22.000 Joe, you have to see this one.

00:47:23.000 Yeah, it's not the one.

00:47:25.000 It's not a loafer.

00:47:27.000 It's not a loafer.

00:47:29.000 It's a timberland boot.

00:47:30.000 The turtle's just going to town, Joe.

00:47:33.000 Why?

00:47:34.000 Look, he's getting all of that one, Joe.

00:47:39.000 Look.

00:47:41.000 Do you see?

00:47:45.000 I love it.

00:47:46.000 That's my favorite joke.

00:47:48.000 At least what you do online is true.

00:48:17.000 What you do online is your business.

00:48:19.000 Protect your business with ExpressVPN.

00:48:23.000 With his bill...

00:48:24.000 He was learning how to cook a cat because he's part Asian, so...

00:48:28.000 little bit of racism, but that's okay.

00:48:30.000 Hey, if you watch the show, you probably spent a lot of time online.

00:48:32.000 You probably have cut the cord, which is funny too.

00:48:34.000 We talk about cord cutters.

00:48:35.000 That's already out of touch because no one...

00:48:37.000 There's no... people don't use cords anymore for cable.

00:48:40.000 So even the people talking about cord cutters are out of touch.

00:48:44.000 Cord cut... it's... anyway.

00:48:45.000 If you're on this show, you probably spent a lot of time online. 1.00

00:48:48.000 And if you're like me, you're an idiot who didn't realize that everything you do is tracked. 0.98

00:48:52.000 I thought I went in private mode and no one could see me looking up pictures of Tess Holiday for Photoshop, mind you. 0.99

00:48:59.000 It was incredibly embarrassing.

00:49:01.000 With ExpressVPN.

00:49:02.000 And right now, by the way, if you go to ExpressVPN.com slash Crowder, you'll get an extra three months

00:49:07.000 of the service for free.

00:49:08.000 And another interesting fact, you probably know what a VPN is, right?

00:49:11.000 It protects your online data, your IP address.

00:49:14.000 A lot of you probably know what it is.

00:49:16.000 But they didn't.

00:49:16.000 A lot of you may not know.

00:49:17.000 ExpressVPN actually hasn't had a data breach that they omitted to tell their customers about.

00:49:23.000 Just run a Google search on that and you'll see.

00:49:25.000 I can't say who brand X is, but it's kind of a big deal.

00:49:29.000 So, expressvpn.com slash Crowder.

00:49:32.000 Sign up.

00:49:32.000 It's easy to use.

00:49:34.000 And you'll be protected. 0.99

00:49:35.000 And they have the balls to sponsor this show. 0.98

00:49:37.000 We use it. 0.98

00:49:37.000 We like it. 0.98

00:49:39.000 Give it a whirl.

00:49:39.000 ExpressVPN.com.

00:49:40.000 Let's call the bakery.

00:49:51.000 And that is The Sound of the Weekend.

00:49:53.000 Louder with Lendi.

00:49:54.000 I'm your host, Jared Lendi.

00:49:57.000 Video studio, as always, we have half-Italian Jared.

00:50:00.000 Hey! 0.99

00:50:00.000 Show it to your Guido fans. 0.99

00:50:02.000 It's me, Mario.

00:50:03.000 Still not convinced.

00:50:04.000 JLendi04, what's the wine of the day?

00:50:07.000 Yeah, though one of the days a German Riesling will fall for that. 0.56

00:50:11.000 And plus, Captain Joe Lucado.

00:50:13.000 1, 7, 3, 4, 6, 7, 3, 2, 1, 4, 7, 6, Charlie, 3, 2, 7, 8, 9, 7, 7, 7, 6, 4, 3, 10, go.

00:50:20.000 Alright everyone, this is a stickup!

00:50:23.000 Kido, don't you lie, are you gonna come?

00:50:26.000 Uh, quite here.

00:50:28.000 Alright, I am very glad to have our next guest.

00:50:29.000 And I say this, I always have to say it, but I don't mean it.

00:50:32.000 Not all the time, you're a human too.

00:50:36.000 This is one of the, it's very rare that we get to interview, or I get to interview, you're not interviewing, someone who was person of the year.

00:50:42.000 Person of the year, and rightfully person of the year.

00:50:45.000 Not like that Hitler who rigged the voting a long time ago. 0.99

00:50:49.000 He had his inside scoop with time.

00:50:52.000 Well, he was actually pretty important in my formative years politically, because we started a family tradition of going to New York City for Thanksgiving every year.

00:51:00.000 The very first year we went was after 9-11, and we went down to Ground Zero.

00:51:04.000 And so I learned all about our next guest.

00:51:06.000 You can follow him on the Twitter, at Rudy Giuliani.

00:51:09.000 His website, I want to make sure I get this right, is RudyGiulianics.com.

00:51:12.000 It's a pleasure to be with you.

00:51:15.000 More importantly, fantastic cameo on Seinfeld.

00:51:16.000 the podcast now that he has going on is Common Sense. I highly recommend you check that out.

00:51:21.000 This is a former mayor of New York City, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York,

00:51:24.000 and then Associate United States Attorney General. I believe I have that already. He's

00:51:29.000 also the current attorney to the president. Mr. Giuliani, thank you for being here, sir.

00:51:33.000 It's a pleasure to be with you.

00:51:35.000 More importantly, fantastic cameo on Seinfeld. I didn't list that.

00:51:39.000 It should have been at the top of the list.

00:51:42.000 That should have been at the top of the list in one of my favorite episodes.

00:51:46.000 That was the morning after I got elected mayor and I had no sleep.

00:51:50.000 Really?

00:51:50.000 No sleep that night, yeah.

00:51:52.000 And it's funny because... I just did it halfway, you know, sleepwalking, but it was... I've gotten more attention for that and some of my Saturday Night Live appearances, particularly dressing up as an Italian grandmother.

00:52:03.000 Right, yeah.

00:52:05.000 Someone just made fun of me for that and I said that it was...

00:52:09.000 It was an anti-Italian bigotry, or something or other.

00:52:13.000 Really?

00:52:13.000 I would have thought it was transgender appropriation, but who's keeping count?

00:52:17.000 Come on, I just get a little confused about my gender just one day?

00:52:21.000 You coming after me?

00:52:24.000 Right.

00:52:26.000 There's so much to get into.

00:52:29.000 This is back in the day.

00:52:30.000 Bob Hope could dress up as a lady and entertain the troops. 0.92

00:52:33.000 Mr. Giuliani.

00:52:34.000 But now it's just, now you're appropriating.

00:52:36.000 Apparently cross-gender culture is a culture that we can appropriate. 0.90

00:52:40.000 So I apologize that you had to go through that.

00:52:43.000 We'll have a PTSD counselor emailing you soon.

00:52:47.000 There's so much going on, but obviously we were just talking about Mike Bloomberg running for president.

00:52:53.000 And I hate to ask you about another guy, but there's obviously a lot at play there.

00:52:55.000 A dynamic you being mayor and then him being mayor.

00:52:58.000 He's taking some fire right now for what they're saying are racially charged comments he made regarding the stop and frisk policy.

00:53:05.000 I wanted to ask you first, how do you feel about him trying to walk this back now, even though it was an effective tool in the war against COVID?

00:53:13.000 I don't buy into the racially charged or I know Mike.

00:53:18.000 Probably I'm the person, I'm one of the people that knows the two men better than any person knows the two of them separately.

00:53:25.000 Played golf with both of them.

00:53:27.000 Known the president for 30 years.

00:53:30.000 Known Michael for 20.

00:53:31.000 Who's a better golfer?

00:53:34.000 Oh, Trump by a lot.

00:53:35.000 Well, you have to say that.

00:53:37.000 I don't have to say that.

00:53:39.000 Trump is close to scratch.

00:53:43.000 He's about seven now.

00:53:44.000 Maybe six.

00:53:45.000 But when he was a younger man, he was a scratch golfer.

00:53:47.000 Trump plays golf with my son all the time.

00:53:50.000 My son's a professional.

00:53:51.000 Or was a professional.

00:53:51.000 He retired.

00:53:53.000 And he plays two, you know, two plus.

00:53:57.000 I gotta be honest with you, Mr. Giuliani.

00:53:58.000 I don't know anything about that.

00:54:00.000 I'm Canadian.

00:54:00.000 We only follow hockey.

00:54:02.000 Sounds to me like... Oh, you guys have great golfers.

00:54:05.000 We don't really have great much.

00:54:10.000 We do have great hockey players.

00:54:12.000 Maple syrup.

00:54:12.000 There's some nice things.

00:54:13.000 A prime minister?

00:54:14.000 Not a big fan.

00:54:16.000 I don't buy the racially charged thing either.

00:54:18.000 It seems like a smear.

00:54:19.000 But I do notice a difference with him, unlike what you're saying now.

00:54:22.000 He's sort of trying to walk it back in the media.

00:54:24.000 Well, that offends me greatly.

00:54:26.000 And it offends me that he hasn't made a distinction that I think he's required to make.

00:54:31.000 He talks about apologizing.

00:54:35.000 His program was found to be unconstitutional and he says he inherited his program from me and Bill Bratton and Howard Safer and Bernie Carrick.

00:54:43.000 We were the people who developed it.

00:54:45.000 But there's a distinction.

00:54:47.000 The program that I ran was held to be constitutional by none other than Eric Holder and Janet Reno.

00:54:53.000 Right.

00:54:53.000 I defended the program myself in early 2001 at the Justice Department.

00:54:59.000 I explained the rationale for it.

00:55:01.000 I explained Terry versus the United States and that we were doing it properly and I proved to them that we were.

00:55:07.000 By 78 years later, he wasn't just searching 100,000 people, he was searching 600,000 people and he had a success rate of only 5%.

00:55:13.000 Right.

00:55:13.000 600,000 people and he had a success rate of only 5%.

00:55:17.000 Right.

00:55:17.000 Which means 95% of the people that he was searching were theoretically innocent.

00:55:23.000 And that's important for people who don't know.

00:55:25.000 He was stopping and frisking.

00:55:26.000 It was, people could argue, far more initially invasive.

00:55:30.000 It was faster to the punch and it was less successful.

00:55:33.000 So there is delineation there in practice.

00:55:35.000 So it's not my program.

00:55:39.000 My program was very carefully calibrated, done really well by an expert police department, by three great commissioners.

00:55:50.000 Scrupulous records.

00:55:52.000 The Justice Department wanted to sue us.

00:55:54.000 The Eastern District of New York wanted to sue us.

00:55:56.000 And I asked for a meeting with the then Attorney General Janet Reno and her deputy Eric Holder, and I myself argued the case.

00:56:04.000 And I spent two hours and I showed them that there was not a single constitutional question with it, that the statistics were all perfectly normal.

00:56:14.000 Yes, we were searching mostly African-American males, but in the exact percentage in which They were reported as the people who committed the crimes.

00:56:23.000 In other words, race wasn't determining who we searched.

00:56:27.000 Our complainants were determining who we searched. 0.98

00:56:29.000 And it was basically black people who were turning in other black people. 0.98

00:56:34.000 So I get a complaint from a black woman that a black male hit her in the face. 0.96

00:56:39.000 What do I go do? 0.71

00:56:40.000 Look for an Asian woman? 1.00

00:56:42.000 I have no idea you could, but I would imagine no. 0.99

00:56:46.000 I mean, so I explained to Eric and I explained to Janet how stupid it was. 0.99

00:56:49.000 Right. 1.00

00:56:49.000 How stupid their case was. 1.00

00:56:50.000 Now, I would have done the same thing for them if they had asked me to represent them, but because I'm a great lawyer, but I would have had, I would have had a difficulty getting around that. 1.00

00:57:04.000 5% success rate.

00:57:05.000 Ours was somewhere around 35%, maybe 40 or 50.

00:57:09.000 But the most important thing is, ours was totally geared toward perfect use of the CompStat statistics.

00:57:15.000 Secondly, we kept scrupulous records of the Terry Foundation that you have to lay.

00:57:21.000 Now neither Michael... Michael wasn't a lawyer, so he saw it more as, how do I get guns out of the community?

00:57:28.000 You gotta see it as, how do I do it legally?

00:57:31.000 And then collaterally, how do I get guns out of the community?

00:57:34.000 Right.

00:57:34.000 He flipped it around, and that's how he went up to $600,000, because for keeping guns out of the community, it was damn effective.

00:57:42.000 If you search everybody every day in every community, there ain't gonna be no guns.

00:57:46.000 Right.

00:57:46.000 There's also gonna be no Constitution.

00:57:49.000 Yeah, that's a little bit of a problem.

00:57:51.000 It seems to me that we should be starting off with a jumping-off point of, well, let's get rid of crime from the community.

00:57:56.000 And so if your arc starts that way, it might be a little different.

00:58:00.000 You have to get rid of crime, but you also have to understand that we do make a trade-off.

00:58:05.000 We make a trade-off for certain rights that we're not gonna violate, even if it might be more effective in reducing crime.

00:58:13.000 I mean, if we didn't have the Fifth Amendment and we required everybody to tell us everything about themselves, we'd probably solve more crimes.

00:58:20.000 Right.

00:58:20.000 But we have a Fifth Amendment so people can protect themselves.

00:58:22.000 I have an aunt who acts like- Tradeoffs in a civilized society. 1.00

00:58:25.000 Yeah, I have an aunt who you can maybe speak with as a lawyer, as a constitutional lawyer, who doesn't understand the Fifth Amendment because she feels the need to tell me everything all the time, including the regularity of her bowel movements. 0.99

00:58:36.000 I was gonna say, you know what, talk with Rudy, he can set you straight.

00:58:40.000 Let me ask you, what do you think the chances are, before we move on to sort of the Ukraine and impeachment, obviously, what do you think the chances are for someone like Bloomberg, since you know both him and President Trump, of winning if he adds Hillary to the ticket?

00:58:52.000 Also, someone who spent a short amount of time in your home state before she ran, but, you know, she's seen as a New Yorker now.

00:59:00.000 Well, I think that Mike would have a very hard time beating the President, just on the merits.

00:59:04.000 I mean, they both have a record.

00:59:07.000 The President has an outstanding record of reform.

00:59:10.000 He's done things that most other presidents haven't done.

00:59:13.000 We haven't had an economic boom like this.

00:59:15.000 Maybe Reagan, maybe Kennedy, although I think this is bigger and stronger.

00:59:21.000 We're a country that's relatively at peace.

00:59:22.000 He solved a lot of foreign policy problems.

00:59:25.000 We'll put a lot of them in the right trajectory after taking over from a terrible president who had us in subjugation to China.

00:59:34.000 And by the way, Joe Biden was the guy negotiating with China.

00:59:37.000 I wonder if there's a connection with the fact that he caved in with them all the time, and they were partners with his son, you know, in his private equity fund.

00:59:44.000 We're using the term negotiate very loosely.

00:59:46.000 If it's a synonym for bend over, sure.

00:59:49.000 Yeah.

00:59:50.000 Yeah, caved in.

00:59:52.000 They send him to China because the Chinese went up into the islands and threatened Japan. 1.00

00:59:56.000 He came back and there were more Chinese threatening more Japanese, and the kid got a billion dollars from China. 0.98

01:00:01.000 Right.

01:00:02.000 Now, I don't say there's a connection.

01:00:04.000 I can't say there wasn't a connection because nobody's ever investigated it.

01:00:07.000 Well that brings me to my next question here, with obviously they've been trying to oust this president for three years.

01:00:12.000 They said the day he became president they were going to find a way to get him out of there.

01:00:16.000 Did you ever imagine that it would be your mission to collect evidence, as I think we were just talking about before the break, I don't ever want to speak out of turn and I know legally we can get in hot water, so you tell me what we can talk about, but collecting evidence on the Biden-Ukraine- Yeah.

01:00:29.000 No, I never, I never thought of that in a million years.

01:00:31.000 And I didn't go looking for Biden and we didn't, neither the president nor I, I mean, they say we went to gather dirt on Biden. 0.99

01:00:38.000 That's a bunch of democratic garbage. 0.99

01:00:40.000 We didn't go gather dirt on Biden. 1.00

01:00:41.000 That's what they were doing on Trump.

01:00:42.000 So they used that language.

01:00:44.000 Right.

01:00:44.000 I was given on a silver platter by Ukrainians who were frustrated because they were being obstructed by the FBI and the U.S.

01:00:53.000 embassy.

01:00:53.000 They had this information for a year and a half, and the U.S.

01:00:56.000 Embassy would not give them visas to come to the United States.

01:00:59.000 The FBI told them to forget about it.

01:01:02.000 They had information about how a phony black ledger was created in order to say that Manafort got $12 million worth of bribes.

01:01:12.000 They held a press conference and leaked it with the DNC.

01:01:16.000 And the whole purpose of it was to take Trump out.

01:01:20.000 When they didn't take Trump out, they went ahead and began the criminal investigation of Manafort.

01:01:23.000 That was the thing that Strzok talked about.

01:01:26.000 We have a plan to stop him.

01:01:28.000 We're gonna leak information about a made-up crime.

01:01:32.000 Right.

01:01:33.000 And then we have an insurance policy.

01:01:36.000 Should he get elected, we're going to start impeaching him.

01:01:38.000 We're going to start turning these things into long-term crimes.

01:01:41.000 Can I ask you a question?

01:01:42.000 And that was operating in Ukraine.

01:01:44.000 It was operating with the whole situation with Papadopoulos, with the phony FISA warrant.

01:01:51.000 It's all part of the same thing.

01:01:52.000 It began, at least, I can take it back to about January of 2016 in the White House, when they had a NSC meeting, National Security Council meeting, staffers.

01:02:05.000 The staffers there told three or four Ukrainian prosecutors, three of whom will testify under oath, to gather dirt on Trump, the Trump campaign, and Paul Manafort.

01:02:18.000 One of them, possibly, is the same whistleblower, the phony whistleblower who came forward for Adam Schiff three years later. 0.54

01:02:27.000 Now if this guy was out there trying to take him out, In January 2016, how credible is his garbage, you know, a couple weeks ago? 0.61

01:02:38.000 Right. 0.95

01:02:38.000 This guy spent the last three or four years trying to take out Donald Trump. 0.95

01:02:42.000 And what he did, what he did, if he's the guy in the White House who did that, he committed the crime they were investigating Trump for.

01:02:49.000 He asked foreign officials to directly interfere in our election.

01:02:52.000 Right.

01:02:53.000 And nobody's investigated any of those Obama people.

01:02:56.000 Every Trump person gets investigated for You know, not paying a parking ticket on time, and then the guy forgets and they put him in jail for perjury.

01:03:03.000 Well, you are notorious for unpaid parking tickets, so we'll scratch that.

01:03:07.000 We don't want everyone to know your parking ticket history there, Mr. Giuliani.

01:03:11.000 Let me ask you this, to play devil's advocate here.

01:03:13.000 My question is, what does the FBI say, to go back to, in sort of blocking these Ukrainian whistleblowers from entering the United States?

01:03:20.000 What is their argument?

01:03:21.000 Well, I don't know.

01:03:21.000 Nobody's questioned the FBI.

01:03:23.000 So, these Ukrainian whistleblowers, three or four of them hired a lawyer.

01:03:28.000 About a month or two before they came to me and they went to the Justice Department and they presented their case and they directly told them they had evidence of Ukrainian collusion in the election and they had evidence of bribery concerning Joseph Biden.

01:03:40.000 And they would never ask back.

01:03:43.000 Why do they have to be here though?

01:03:45.000 Could they Skype in their testimony?

01:03:47.000 They did everything!

01:03:48.000 That's why the left That's why the left tries to beat up John Solomon.

01:03:56.000 They sent a lot of the information to John Solomon and he published it in The Hill.

01:04:00.000 And now, you know, they've made him into some kind of monster.

01:04:03.000 This information was given to me.

01:04:06.000 Now they say it was Russian.

01:04:08.000 It was Russian counterintelligence.

01:04:10.000 In other words, the Russians got Joe Biden to threaten the president of the Ukraine.

01:04:16.000 With not getting a loan guarantee unless he fired the prosecutor.

01:04:20.000 And he got Joe Biden to say this on camera.

01:04:24.000 You saw the Russian behind there pushing the strings and telling him to do it. 1.00

01:04:28.000 Yeah, right.

01:04:30.000 Then it was the Russians who got Hunter Biden to take about $8 million from them in laundered money. 0.61

01:04:38.000 Hunter didn't get paid like most people get paid.

01:04:41.000 He got paid circuitous route.

01:04:43.000 It went from Ukraine To Latvia, made out to be a loan, then it went from Latvia to Cyprus, another loan, and then it was distributed to all of the board members, and in the case of Hunter and his partner, they forgot to put the amounts in.

01:05:05.000 And when the Ukrainian prosecutor went to get the amounts, he was told that the U.S.

01:05:08.000 Embassy You know what that's called?

01:05:11.000 stricken so that you can hide these payments. That sounds like a Spirit Airlines flight path.

01:05:16.000 Last time they were going, hey we're not going to make it to Poughkeepsie, you're going to be

01:05:19.000 landing in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. What? How is this happening?

01:05:22.000 You know what that's called? That's called a stone cold money laundering case in which you or I

01:05:28.000 would be in jail already. Nobody's even investigated. Nobody's even investigated this no-show job

01:05:35.000 son of the vice president.

01:05:38.000 And nobody's ever asked, was all that money that went to Hunter, was it really a bribe to Joe?

01:05:46.000 So he would intervene at the right time to save a crooked $5 billion company, which he did.

01:05:51.000 He saved Burisma, which was a crooked $5 billion company, and he got one of the biggest crooks in Ukraine to be able to return because he got the case dismissed on him.

01:06:00.000 And what is the son of the vice president doing making millions from one of the biggest crooks in Ukraine when he's our point man there trying to straighten out corruption?

01:06:11.000 Imagine how that went. 0.90

01:06:12.000 Joe would get up to give a speech and he would say, now all you Ukrainians have to stop being corrupt. 1.00

01:06:17.000 And they would yell back, hey, how about we start with your son, Joe? 0.96

01:06:20.000 How about we start with the no-show job son that was a drug addict? 0.96

01:06:25.000 You're talking to us about corruption, you phony?

01:06:29.000 Yeah, you first, Mr. Biden.

01:06:31.000 We do have to go, and I want to go to a web extended here.

01:06:33.000 It's RudyJulianics.com.

01:06:36.000 The podcast is Common Sense.

01:06:37.000 For those who are not Mud Club members, we're going to continue here on Web Extended. 0.69

01:06:39.000 Final question before we go to that, though.

01:06:41.000 I did want to ask you, as a layman, OK, and I see this and I see Joe Biden and all of us see this footage of him saying this on camera for people who think it's a conspiracy.

01:06:50.000 Just go back two episodes.

01:06:51.000 We've run this clip ad nauseum.

01:06:53.000 How is that not an admission?

01:06:56.000 How is that not admissible?

01:06:59.000 I don't understand why there's conflict.

01:07:01.000 He said it!

01:07:02.000 He said it!

01:07:03.000 It's exactly the same thing they said Trump said, and every newspaper in the world the next day printed bribe.

01:07:10.000 Exactly what they falsely said Trump said to Zelensky.

01:07:10.000 Right.

01:07:15.000 He said to Zelensky, you don't get your money unless you investigate Biden.

01:07:20.000 Biden said to the President Poroshenko, you don't get your money unless you fire the prosecutor.

01:07:25.000 Same thing, for one it's a bribe, for the other it's Oh my God, poor Joe.

01:07:31.000 Look what they're doing to poor Joe.

01:07:33.000 Right.

01:07:34.000 Poor little Joe.

01:07:36.000 You're looking like Lenny with a rabbit right now.

01:07:39.000 He may not make it across the street, Joe.

01:07:43.000 He very well may not.

01:07:44.000 He's doing commercials for Hoverround these days.

01:07:46.000 That's why it's hurt his campaign.

01:07:47.000 All right.

01:07:48.000 We will be right back after this.

01:07:49.000 For those who are not Mud Club members, the podcast is Common Sense with former Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

01:10:53.000 No, I found out what this is recently from a genetic test.

01:10:55.000 I don't talk about my health so much anymore, but I called Ehlers-Danlos.

01:10:57.000 My body doesn't produce collagen, so it was actually Gerald's wife who spotted it.

01:11:00.000 Yeah, all the stretchy, and I can put my foot behind my head.

01:11:03.000 Like Ripley's.

01:11:04.000 And I deal with crippling pain.

01:11:06.000 But I don't talk about it because Lena Dunham claims she has it.

01:11:11.000 Maybe she does. 0.87

01:11:12.000 I don't know.

01:11:13.000 But that's the least of her problems.

01:11:15.000 Anyone else out there who's ever had to deal with this or had the genetic testing?

01:11:18.000 It's amazing what they can see in your genetics.

01:11:21.000 When I did this genetic testing, I said, I don't want to know if I'll get Parkinson's or any of that.

01:11:24.000 Don't tell me that.

01:11:25.000 I don't want to know.

01:11:25.000 Do not tell me.

01:11:26.000 Do you want to know the day that you die?

01:11:28.000 I mean, on stage, I know it's most days.

01:11:33.000 What are we talking about in the future?

01:11:34.000 I don't want to know.

01:11:34.000 I don't know.

01:11:35.000 Rudy Giuliani, by the way.

01:11:36.000 What is there, another 20 minutes in the web extended?

01:11:39.000 We talk about cigars.

01:11:40.000 We talk broken windows theory.

01:11:42.000 I was surprised because I've heard that he can be a little bit cranky.

01:11:45.000 And he was just a joy to have on the show.

01:11:46.000 He loosened up.

01:11:47.000 I hope to have him back again soon.

01:11:49.000 And then next week we have some big shows coming up.

01:11:51.000 A lot of people asking, Are we going to be doing the debates?

01:11:54.000 Not until it narrows down a little bit.

01:11:58.000 And then it's going to be busy going into 2016.

01:11:59.000 We're going to be finishing, or covering, all of the finishing primary debates with the Democrats and then of course the General.

01:12:06.000 And we'll probably have, well it could be a very short night on election night.

01:12:09.000 That's true.

01:12:10.000 Or it could be very long.

01:12:11.000 I believe last go around it was a nine hour stream.

01:12:17.000 I'm looking forward to Donald Trump winning, but I'm not looking forward to having to cover a long night of the stream because, you know, the Young Turks melting down is only so funny for so long. 0.51

01:12:27.000 And it's pretty long.

01:12:29.000 I'd say about hour seven.

01:12:31.000 By the time I get to eight... That's true.

01:12:34.000 And it's not even sweat coming out of his pores.

01:12:37.000 There are no longer pores.

01:12:38.000 It's just sweat.

01:12:40.000 It's just an amoeba.

01:12:41.000 All right.

01:12:43.000 Let me close this up for you real quick.

01:12:45.000 Ooh, I got really dry.

01:12:45.000 My mouth is dry.

01:12:47.000 I'd like to take a second to talk about a few things here.

01:12:51.000 Three things.

01:12:52.000 Three concepts that I think are nearly always misinterpreted, which is really sad, because these three things are inextricably linked, and arguably these are some of the most important concepts To understand and by which to live.

01:13:06.000 And we've always talked about this in the show where I hate when things that actually matter are turned into a bumper sticker slogan because people want to sell books.

01:13:15.000 And that's why I haven't sold any books.

01:13:17.000 I'll write two books in my lifetime.

01:13:19.000 So this is all for free.

01:13:20.000 I could put this in a self-help book and maybe it'll help you.

01:13:22.000 Maybe it won't.

01:13:23.000 But I don't.

01:13:24.000 You get this for free.

01:13:25.000 So three different concepts.

01:13:27.000 Fear.

01:13:28.000 Courage.

01:13:29.000 In a more practical sense, I will refer to it as willingness.

01:13:32.000 A lot of people say, what's courage?

01:13:33.000 And it's this abstract.

01:13:34.000 No, it's willingness.

01:13:35.000 It's the willingness to do something even though you're afraid.

01:13:37.000 And then finally, discernment.

01:13:39.000 These are very important, and a lot of people don't have a grasp of them.

01:13:43.000 Not saying that I do, but I've had to learn somewhat in managing 15 people and running a business and having to do a lot of things that I don't want to do.

01:13:53.000 So let's start with this.

01:13:54.000 Let's start with fear.

01:13:56.000 Fear is often vilified.

01:13:58.000 Fear is the enemy of the good.

01:13:58.000 Right?

01:13:59.000 It's paralyzing.

01:14:00.000 There's nothing to fear but fear itself, which it sounds good in a highlight reel.

01:14:05.000 It means absolutely nothing.

01:14:06.000 I don't know what that means.

01:14:07.000 Nothing to fear but fear itself.

01:14:09.000 So you are fearing something.

01:14:10.000 You're fearing the concept of fear, which is non-existent. 1.00

01:14:12.000 It's stupid. 0.99

01:14:13.000 I get that people like how it sounds and Oprah uses it for her book club when she puts herself on the cover of the magazine every single month. 1.00

01:14:18.000 Surprise.

01:14:19.000 It doesn't mean anything.

01:14:20.000 Here's the truth.

01:14:21.000 Fear is fine.

01:14:24.000 Fear is natural.

01:14:26.000 Fear is logical.

01:14:27.000 Fear is healthy.

01:14:28.000 Fear keeps you alive.

01:14:30.000 Now, like many things that are powerful and useful, if mismanaged or given an inappropriate amount of sway over your decisions, fear can be crippling.

01:14:42.000 See, fear is, and it should be, by the way, a variable that you use, that you include in making an informed decision.

01:14:51.000 You do not let fear dictate your decisions.

01:14:54.000 Let me give you an example.

01:14:55.000 The Virginia gun rally that happened.

01:14:57.000 Remember it was declared a state of emergency.

01:15:00.000 A lot of people don't know we were planning on going there.

01:15:02.000 We were planning on doing... We were.

01:15:04.000 We were going to do a reverse change my mind with Skylar Turden there. 0.51

01:15:08.000 A devil's advocate change my mind.

01:15:09.000 It was the first time we were going to do it.

01:15:10.000 And we had some intel behind the scenes before it was declared an emergency that it was going to be a little bit of a hairy situation.

01:15:18.000 Particularly for me.

01:15:19.000 I won't get into exactly how we were able to procure this information.

01:15:22.000 We have a brilliant researcher, Reg, who scares me.

01:15:25.000 God, he's on our side.

01:15:27.000 But it was it was brought to our attention that it was probably not a good idea to go.

01:15:33.000 And then, of course, it was declared an emergency.

01:15:36.000 And what happened was when it was brought to my attention, I was really tired that week.

01:15:40.000 And we had something that we had done that week.

01:15:42.000 Oh, we didn't.

01:15:43.000 I think we didn't change my mind or we did the change.

01:15:45.000 Right.

01:15:45.000 Right after that was on the road and I was exhausted.

01:15:48.000 And so I was planning on doing the Virginia gun rally.

01:15:48.000 Right.

01:15:51.000 But I was really tired, and when they sat me down, my team here, and they said, hey, listen, we have some new info here that we don't think this is very safe.

01:15:58.000 What do you want to do?

01:15:59.000 I said, here's the truth.

01:16:00.000 I never want to do these.

01:16:02.000 I don't want to go to a Virginia gun rally, and I don't want to have to dress up in Skylar Turdengarb and be around a bunch of people who hate me.

01:16:08.000 There's nothing pleasant about that.

01:16:10.000 There's nothing appealing about it.

01:16:11.000 I don't want to do it.

01:16:12.000 I'm exhausted.

01:16:13.000 It sounds terrible.

01:16:16.000 If you tell me that I should do it, I'll do it.

01:16:19.000 I said, so you guys tell me right now.

01:16:21.000 I'm in no position to be making an accurate judgment because I'm afraid to do it.

01:16:26.000 I'm too tired to do it.

01:16:28.000 I don't want to do it.

01:16:29.000 If you tell me to do it, I'll do it.

01:16:32.000 And the reason I tell you this story is not at all to boast or to beat my own drum.

01:16:36.000 I tell you that to To hopefully help you understand that by nature, even though you often see me publicly and, you know, I'm considered maybe a little bit bold, rash, as the kids might say, I'm naturally a very fearful person.

01:16:51.000 I always have been.

01:16:51.000 It's a huge struggle.

01:16:53.000 But I keep it in check as best I can with two other very important variables, and that's willingness and discernment.

01:17:02.000 I had to be willing to do something that was uncomfortable And I had to be able to discern whether I was making a decision based out of fear.

01:17:10.000 So you've heard the phrase, exhaustion makes cowards of us all.

01:17:13.000 I've quoted that a lot.

01:17:14.000 And not because it's just a soundbite.

01:17:15.000 I think it actually is insightful.

01:17:17.000 It actually helps.

01:17:18.000 It provides you with information and also actionable information.

01:17:23.000 I've heard it attributed to both General Patton and Vince Lombardi.

01:17:26.000 So if someone knows the true origin, please tell me.

01:17:29.000 Do either of you know where that comes from?

01:17:31.000 I have no idea.

01:17:32.000 I also have seen it attributed to Henzo Gracie, so it doesn't sound like a patent quote, but if you know, let me know.

01:17:37.000 But the quote is, exhaustion makes cowards of us all.

01:17:40.000 I think that's the exact quote.

01:17:42.000 Either way, it's absolutely true. 1.00

01:17:44.000 And the person who ignores that truth is a fool. 1.00

01:17:47.000 The tough guy who acts like he always has it under control, the guy who's, you know, this false sense of machismo and nothing scares me, he's a liar. 1.00

01:17:54.000 That person is a liar. 1.00

01:17:56.000 Either to those around him or to himself. 1.00

01:17:58.000 Take your pick.

01:18:00.000 But in knowing that fear and exhaustion will turn me into a coward, and by the way, through high school, through all my early life having been dominated by fear, I have decided, I made a decision, I remember when I made this decision as an adult, that I won't let fear dictate my decisions.

01:18:18.000 I can surpass my fears through a premeditated spirit of willingness.

01:18:22.000 I assume, and I want everyone to do this, I assume that I'll be tired.

01:18:26.000 I assume that I'll be afraid.

01:18:28.000 And so I tell myself and my team here, whose judgment I trust, that I will be willing to do whatever it takes regardless.

01:18:35.000 You can line the devil himself up, and if they say go for it, I'll tuck my chin and march.

01:18:40.000 And that's not a statement, it's a statement on the team of people around me.

01:18:43.000 Because I do have to trust, it is a trust fall constantly, where I know I can't look at something objectively.

01:18:49.000 And I know that this is easier said than done.

01:18:51.000 But the truth is, and I think a lot of people miss this, you can condition willingness.

01:18:58.000 Courage, whatever you want to call it.

01:18:59.000 You can condition yourself to act in spite of fear as opposed to because of it.

01:19:05.000 How?

01:19:06.000 It's like anything else.

01:19:07.000 By putting yourself in very uncomfortable, fearful situations every day.

01:19:13.000 Baby steps, little bit of progress toward your goals.

01:19:17.000 And let's say though, let's say that all of you, you've been following the show and we talk about this quite a bit, the strenuous lice.

01:19:22.000 Strenuous lice, strenuous lice, it's a super strain of lice because of antibiotics.

01:19:28.000 Wow.

01:19:28.000 Now they have, yeah, they have super lice.

01:19:33.000 But let's say that you've already conquered that.

01:19:36.000 Let's say that you know you have a spirit of willingness regardless of fear.

01:19:40.000 Okay?

01:19:41.000 That's the first step.

01:19:42.000 Well, then we find ourselves, all men. 0.87

01:19:46.000 Women, too, but right now I'm speaking to a lot of men out there because I know men are often afraid of talking about their fear because they think that it makes them weak.

01:19:53.000 It doesn't.

01:19:54.000 I don't believe in taking pride in weakness, but I also don't believe in being afraid to talk with other men about you being afraid.

01:19:59.000 That's not a weakness.

01:20:01.000 So now we find ourselves at one of the original problems I was mentioning earlier in that fear is a valuable tool.

01:20:07.000 Sometimes fear is telling you that this is a bad decision.

01:20:10.000 The oven, the stove is hot.

01:20:12.000 So how do you know when you're supposed to plow through fear as opposed to when you should listen to fear and maybe back off?

01:20:19.000 And that comes down to the third variable I'm talking about here, the third principle, discernment.

01:20:24.000 And I know there are a lot of people who've talked about paths to this.

01:20:28.000 I've heard it referred to as an enlightenment.

01:20:31.000 I don't know what the hell that means.

01:20:32.000 You can be enlightened on a given issue or a given topic.

01:20:36.000 But this idea of total enlightenment as a generality, it's psychological gabbly gook.

01:20:41.000 It doesn't make any sense. 1.00

01:20:42.000 Maybe I'm just stupid. 1.00

01:20:43.000 I think it's bullshit. 1.00

01:20:44.000 Maybe it's just me. 0.99

01:20:45.000 When people go out and say, you know, once you are at peace of yourself, you will achieve total enlightenment.

01:20:49.000 I go, you don't know what you're talking about.

01:20:50.000 That doesn't help me.

01:20:51.000 That doesn't help anybody.

01:20:52.000 It just makes you sound self-important.

01:20:54.000 So I don't want to talk about enlightenment, but I do want to talk specifically about discernment.

01:20:59.000 Let's use that as an example.

01:21:00.000 But some people might refer to it as enlightenment.

01:21:02.000 Side trail.

01:21:03.000 Sorry I wasted your time. 0.98

01:21:04.000 Blame Buddhists. 1.00

01:21:06.000 So I'm going to tell you the only way that I know to achieve discernment in my life.

01:21:11.000 The good news is it'll work for everyone.

01:21:13.000 It's a way anyone can use.

01:21:14.000 Now, of course, prayer, meditation, living a good, truthful life is important.

01:21:18.000 Not your truth, but a truthful and honest life, but I'll assume you're doing that.

01:21:21.000 Why?

01:21:22.000 Because no one who refuses to do those things can have discernment.

01:21:25.000 It's not possible.

01:21:27.000 So, you shouldn't be watching this, but let's assume that you're doing that.

01:21:31.000 You're a decent person of good moral fiber.

01:21:32.000 Many people, however, who already do that, all those things right, can definitely still struggle with discernment.

01:21:39.000 So I'll assume you're doing it.

01:21:40.000 OK.

01:21:41.000 It comes down to wise counsel.

01:21:43.000 It comes down to surrounding yourself with good people, honest people, people who love you, people who you love and you trust to tell you the truth regardless of comfort level.

01:21:52.000 So with the Virginia rally, for an example, it turned out to not be that bad.

01:21:55.000 We thought it was going to be worse.

01:21:57.000 We had to make an executive decision.

01:21:59.000 So with Virginia, all that I knew at that time was I was exhausted.

01:22:03.000 I didn't want to go. 0.79

01:22:04.000 When I heard some of the intel, you can bet your ass that I was scared. 0.99

01:22:07.000 Hey, you might get shot there. 0.99

01:22:09.000 Yeah, that gave me a little bit of a fright, you could say.

01:22:12.000 It was spooky.

01:22:14.000 Someone get the jack-o'-lanterns out, because it was a frightful time.

01:22:19.000 But I knew that I couldn't allow that fear to make the decision for me.

01:22:24.000 All I could do in that instance was be willing to accept the counsel, the discernment of others here, regardless of how it made me feel.

01:22:33.000 And everyone needs that.

01:22:36.000 Everyone needs someone who will shoot them straight and set them on the right path, a straight and narrow, regardless of comfort level.

01:22:41.000 You know what, not only someone, let me take it a step further.

01:22:44.000 Not someone, because I don't want you to just think of someone in your life, but all of the people in your life, in your close circle of friends and chosen family.

01:22:52.000 You can't choose who your dad or your mom is, but your wife, your husband.

01:22:56.000 All of your close circle, the people you trust.

01:22:59.000 They shouldn't be in your circle unless they meet this criteria.

01:23:03.000 So here's my question to you.

01:23:04.000 Do you have that?

01:23:07.000 Run through a list of your best friends, of your family members.

01:23:11.000 Who is it?

01:23:12.000 Do you have a wife?

01:23:15.000 Do you have a best friend?

01:23:15.000 Do you have a colleague who, let's say you were in a situation where you were compromised, beyond recognition, and incapable of objectively making a decision, paralyzed by fear, who do you have in your life who you trust to tell you, in that instance, alright, go here, do that, period, and you would salute and march out.

01:23:35.000 Really, I want you to take a moment here and I want you to think about it.

01:23:38.000 Who is that in your life?

01:23:41.000 Who are they?

01:23:42.000 Who could it maybe be?

01:23:44.000 Because that's the only way that I know how to live with fear and not be dominated by it.

01:23:49.000 You need fear, a willingness to live with it, and an understanding of when to respect it, which requires discernment.

01:23:56.000 And that can only be achieved, as far as I know, if you have other solutions, let me know, through honest living and the power of your closest loved one's association, the power of association and your confidence.

01:24:07.000 And I'll tell you what.

01:24:08.000 If you do this, if you implement it, and if maybe you haven't, you've kicked the can down the road, I want you this week to think of that person, recognize that person, tell them that you recognize them as that person, appreciate them, and then make Everyone else in your circle of friends, that person, or they shouldn't be in your close circle of friends.

01:24:25.000 You can still be friendly with them, but you shouldn't have them in your small group.

01:24:29.000 You shouldn't be using them to lean on when discussing relationship advice or life-altering decisions.

01:24:34.000 You should make every person in your life one of those people.

01:24:38.000 And you know what?

01:24:39.000 When you're down on the scorecards, bleeding, confused, terrified, and you're hearing a voice that you trust with your life, telling you what to do, and you know that you have the willingness to do it, so you do it, period, it is liberating.

01:24:53.000 Because you'll never have to ask, what if?

01:24:55.000 Win, lose, or draw, if you understand and you learn to master living with fear, a spirit of willingness, and the wisdom of discernment, You will be able to accept the results.

01:25:06.000 And live with it in peace.

01:25:08.000 So, help me!

01:25:09.000 Hopefully it helps you.
