00:41:40.000 That's racist.

00:41:40.000 We don't tell her that on the show.

00:41:47.000 Even Brendan.

00:41:48.000 We talked with him on Wednesday, Wednesday morning, because his family came into town to visit him all across the entire country.

00:41:57.000 It's good timing.

00:41:57.000 And so we've had to take precautions because there is a Likelihood, as slim as it may be, that he came in contact with the coronavirus.

00:42:03.000 So, um, let's go down to our security camera.

00:42:06.000 We've taken the proper precautions.

00:42:07.000 Everyone there is working.

00:42:09.000 And then, and there you go.

00:42:30.000 are retarded. That's true. We'll check back in with him. We'll make sure he's okay. Both 0.99

00:42:40.000 physically and emotionally. It's not your birthday, Brendan.

00:42:45.000 Shut up. Any other birthdays here? No? Okay. I'm going to claim one. Hopefully he gets 1.00

00:43:52.000 I told you to switch to Bill when he's last.

00:43:55.000 That is the favorite thing I've ever seen in a show, period.

00:44:00.000 It was short, it was sweet, much like me.

00:44:05.000 We actually, we were like, you know, we could really use a woman's voice for Lord, and we asked Too Cute Maddie, and without explaining the entire context, she was very confused.

00:44:36.000 Promo code Quarantine, $30 off.

00:44:38.000 And if you are a Mud Club member, of course, please do renew. 0.98

00:44:41.000 It's what keeps us afloat.

00:44:43.000 By the way, while gyms, they're mainly closed.

00:44:44.000 Well, my gym is closed.

00:44:45.000 I think all of our gyms are closed.

00:44:47.000 Bill's is obvious.

00:44:47.000 Well, you don't go to the gym.

00:44:48.000 The coronavirus, though, it's not stopping Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg from working out.

00:44:53.000 According to her personal trainer, though D.C.

00:44:56.000 has been shut down, the justice, quote, ain't havin' it.

00:45:00.000 Oh, wow.

00:45:01.000 And that's her personal trainer.

00:45:02.000 And, you know, he's actually, he's even been sharing her workouts on Instagram, which you can see here.

00:45:06.000 She is... Wow.

00:45:07.000 Library.

00:45:08.000 I wanna buy what she's selling, which, coincidentally, is MyFitTea.

00:45:13.000 Oh, great.

00:45:15.000 Amazing.

00:45:16.000 I like those little sweatbands on the wrists.

00:45:18.000 Those really make a difference.

00:45:19.000 You know, it's more of a fashion statement when you no longer have sweat glands.

00:45:24.000 Yeah, you know it is just for the looks.

00:45:26.000 It really is.

00:45:27.000 It's like leg warmers.

00:45:28.000 She doesn't have any legs. 1.00

00:45:29.000 No legs left.

00:45:30.000 So, finally, in these trying times, by the way, everyone's been affected by this, and we're going to get onto China in a little bit, and then Tim Pool.

00:45:37.000 I'm really looking forward to talking with Tim Pool, because there's been some crap going on on social media.

00:45:43.000 Everyone's been tested here, even celebrities a little bit, but some of them have been Really helpful.

00:45:48.000 For example, Nickelback, they've stepped up with a signed guitar, Nickelback guitar, for charity.

00:45:55.000 Though I should be clear, Costco has made it clear they are limiting the guitar to one per customer.

00:46:01.000 🎵Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I'm a funnier🎵 🎵Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I'm a funnier🎵

00:46:12.000 🎵Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I'm a funnier🎵 Don't take more than one.

00:46:20.000 We all have to look out for each other.

00:46:22.000 We do.

00:46:23.000 It's a difficult thing.

00:46:23.000 Right now.

00:46:24.000 That's wrong.

00:46:24.000 You can't be hoarding like that.

00:46:25.000 Also, I should mention on that same website, Creed singer Scott Stapp is selling one of

00:46:31.000 his guitars as well.

00:46:33.000 Oh, I remember when you were with me.

00:46:40.000 I'm free.

00:46:43.000 I'm careless, I believe.

00:46:49.000 Wow.

00:46:51.000 He was enjoying that.

00:46:52.000 I'm just most amazed at the physics of that.

00:46:54.000 It was a good time.

00:46:55.000 How you get it and into the... It's actually surprisingly really easy.

00:46:58.000 We wrote backwards from how can we write a bit where we physically s*** on Nickelback and Creed without being too on the nose.

00:47:07.000 Right, right.

00:47:08.000 Just right next to the nose.

00:47:10.000 Just next to the nose.

00:47:11.000 You got a little something.

00:47:12.000 What is it?

00:47:12.000 Scott Stapp.

00:47:13.000 You got it.

00:47:13.000 Sanitize your hands.

00:47:17.000 And by the way, before we move on, we'll actually be including some... We only do live chats, by the way, with people who are Mug Club members on Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

00:47:23.000 Next Tuesday, Jean-Guy Tremblay will be live streaming with Daisy Denagla live.

00:47:31.000 Tuesday night.

00:47:32.000 Call of Duty.

00:47:33.000 Which Call of Duty is Jean-Guy going to be streaming?

00:47:34.000 Warzone.

00:47:35.000 I don't know.

00:47:35.000 But the point is, if you... He just said it.

00:47:38.000 But if you want to chat with us, we don't use YouTube live chat because... Don't pay nothing so you can chat through Mug Club. 0.54

00:47:45.000 Before we move on, though, actually, I think...

00:47:47.000 One last time, let's check back in with our good friend, Even Brendan.

00:47:51.000 Brendan, how are you?

00:47:52.000 Brendan, you know you've been working hard.

00:47:53.000 I appreciate it.

00:47:53.000 Go grab yourself a break, a cup of water.

00:47:56.000 Yeah.

00:47:57.000 Okay.

00:47:58.000 Yeah.

00:47:58.000 I know it's tough.

00:47:59.000 It's been tough for you.

00:48:00.000 And then... No!

00:48:02.000 Six feet for the CDC!

00:48:03.000 Man, he's right there, Brendan!

00:48:05.000 Oh.

00:48:06.000 It's his birthday, yeah.

00:48:07.000 Come on, man.

00:48:07.000 No!

00:48:08.000 Six feet, Brendan!

00:48:09.000 Brendan!

00:48:10.000 Get yourself some water, but... But six feet!

00:48:15.000 Yeah.

00:48:16.000 Okay.

00:48:18.000 Don't get mad at me, Brent.

00:48:20.000 I don't make the rules.

00:48:22.000 I just call them.

00:48:24.000 Isn't that right, Half-Asian Bill? 1.00

00:48:25.000 That's true.

00:48:26.000 I have to.

00:48:26.000 You've got to.

00:48:27.000 You've got to enforce them.

00:48:28.000 And I have to collect his check from the government.

00:48:31.000 Hey, look, I already said if you need to turn the power up on the shot collar, do it.

00:48:35.000 I know.

00:48:36.000 You know what?

00:48:36.000 And it's not fair.

00:48:38.000 It's not fair.

00:48:38.000 It's for his own good.

00:48:39.000 It's not fair for you to have to do that.

00:48:40.000 It's not fair for me to have to do that.

00:48:42.000 Hey, Corner Black, before we move on, let's bring up the tweets of the week here.

00:48:45.000 I think we have some pictures of people.

00:48:46.000 All these folks who've been writing.

00:48:46.000 Look at that.

00:48:48.000 That's great.

00:48:49.000 Thank you so much.

00:48:50.000 Look at the blue eyes on that lady right there. 1.00

00:48:51.000 You can't teach that blue eyes.

00:48:54.000 My eyes are more like a listless tope.

00:49:01.000 The walls of an abandoned hospital.

00:49:04.000 Yours are more like a doll's eyes. 0.55

00:49:06.000 The devil's eyes. 0.71

00:49:08.000 Sometimes show don't go away.

00:49:11.000 Sometimes show don't go away.

00:49:12.000 I don't know why you're watching.

00:49:14.000 I know exactly why you're watching.

00:49:16.000 You have no choice.

00:49:17.000 I'm amazed as to how lazy these other late night hosts are.

00:49:20.000 Oh, yes.

00:49:21.000 They have employees.

00:49:21.000 And I get it.

00:49:23.000 They have 150 writers, so I understand that.

00:49:25.000 They do.

00:49:25.000 But still, they could get a snowball mic or a Yeti mic if they're going to be broadcasting from home.

00:49:30.000 It'd be helpful.

00:49:30.000 It's not hard.

00:49:31.000 A lot.

00:49:33.000 Let's get, and you're going to have a lot.

00:49:34.000 I know, actually, Half-Asian Bill has some context on this.

00:49:36.000 Originally, this was titled... Because he's Chinese.

00:49:38.000 What a piece of s*** China, but we realized it didn't delineate enough between the Chinese government and the Chinese people, and we've tried to talk about that. 0.81

00:49:44.000 That being said, there still are some issues that I have outside of the Chinese government to a degree. 0.97

00:49:50.000 Not a lot, but let's talk about this right now.

00:49:52.000 Everything wrong with China, and not just as a part of this pandemic right now, but I think if nothing else, this has sort of lifted the veil for a lot of people to realize, like, hey, As far as international trade goes, as far as the agreements, they're not necessarily our friends. 0.98

00:50:06.000 It doesn't mean they're necessarily enemies.

00:50:08.000 I don't want to be, you should be American by American! 1.00

00:50:12.000 I mean, have you driven a Volt?

00:50:17.000 I don't even know that they have a AAA in Japan.

00:50:22.000 You just call a guy and he shows up.

00:50:24.000 Buy a Toyota.

00:50:28.000 No, no, no, no, not a mechanic.

00:50:29.000 Salesman, he's my card.

00:50:33.000 So, point is, now that I said that, we can dump on China. 0.99

00:50:37.000 So, listen, Donald Trump has been trying to sound the alarm, particularly as it relates to international trade, on China for quite some time.

00:50:44.000 I'd like to have you take a look at the fentanyl that's coming out of China and Mexico.

00:50:49.000 Major Chinese drug traffickers forged a strip and they have really put very, very strong clamps on them. 0.89

00:50:57.000 They've indicted them.

00:50:59.000 When they charge 25% for a car to go in.

00:51:05.000 And we charge 2% for their car to come into the United States.

00:51:10.000 That's not good.

00:51:11.000 We've taxed China on $300 billion worth of goods and products being sold into our country. 0.79

00:51:18.000 He said he was going to stop fentanyl from coming into our country.

00:51:21.000 It's all coming out of China. 1.00

00:51:23.000 Now, usually, and I've talked about this, I don't like the idea of tariffs because it's a tax passed on to the consumer.

00:51:29.000 However, there is a valid point when you do have countries, and it's no longer equitable, if they are taxing our goods going over, and this happened at one point, I believe, too, with Japan, and there aren't several Japans, but that's just a band.

00:51:42.000 We the Japans!

00:51:43.000 No, no, no, no.

00:51:44.000 Are you just a cover band?

00:51:45.000 All Japanese bands are cover bands!

00:51:51.000 But what Japan was doing with motorcycles, and unfortunately we did it with Hondas that were coming in, and it was actually Ronald Reagan who did this.

00:51:59.000 I understand it being equitable, but the flip side is a lot of Americans had to buy Harleys.

00:52:03.000 And if I'm not mistaken, that was during the AMF days where they didn't work at all.

00:52:07.000 So they just didn't have access to good motorcycles.

00:52:09.000 But there does need to be a balance of making sure that we aren't competing with slave labor.

00:52:13.000 And you have, I mean, you still have relatives.

00:52:15.000 Yeah, so I've got some family who are in Hong Kong, and I actually had a cousin who was even born in the United States, worked extensively in China, and what's really interesting is just the different ways in which China has kind of spoken out of both sides of its mouth, right?

00:52:29.000 At one point it'll say, Oh no, we're very pro the wet markets.

00:52:33.000 Oh no, no, no.

00:52:34.000 Now we're against them.

00:52:35.000 We're shutting them all down.

00:52:36.000 But then at the same time, they're touting traditional medicine, which uses the animal products, the wildlife animals from the wet markets.

00:52:43.000 And all the while, you have pockets of Chinese citizens and scientists who are saying, Are you kidding me? Why can't we just shut these down and 1.00

00:52:50.000 join the rest of the world?

00:52:51.000 I want to move on to wet markets, but I meant more so with trade, right? Because as moral

00:52:54.000 libertarians, we agree, like, listen, we shouldn't be just putting a tariff on to

00:52:58.000 punish a country. But if they are punishing us, there really isn't a fair international

00:53:03.000 trade agreement. And I think and no one, no one, by the way, Bernie Sanders talked about this.

00:53:07.000 Hillary Clinton's talked about this a long time ago. I know NAFTA, we can go into Bill Clinton,

00:53:11.000 but if you listen to Hillary Clinton's rhetoric, but certainly Bernie Sanders.

00:53:14.000 Donald Trump's the first person to do anything as it relates to trade.

00:53:17.000 That's not what we're talking about today, but it has sort of fostered an environment with this festering pustule that has become the Chinese Communist government.

00:53:25.000 Yeah, and for everybody who was giving Donald Trump a hard time about the tariffs, I get it.

00:53:29.000 But what do you do when you have a trading partner like that that refuses to play by any rules?

00:53:33.000 That's stealing people's IP as soon as they come into the country and doing whatever they want with it.

00:53:36.000 Like, what do you do?

00:53:38.000 If that's not the solution, okay, fine.

00:53:40.000 What do you do?

00:53:41.000 No administration before this has done a good job dealing with them.

00:53:43.000 None.

00:53:44.000 Trump is the only one to stand up.

00:53:45.000 And they have the purchasing power of 19 billion people.

00:53:48.000 That's true.

00:53:49.000 They even undercount their people in the census.

00:53:51.000 Yeah, it absolutely is nuts.

00:53:51.000 That's crazy.

00:53:53.000 So going back to Bill's point, China this week, they reopened the wet markets that were allegedly the source of all this.

00:54:01.000 And by the way, they're still selling bats, dogs, and cats.

00:54:05.000 And I want to be clear, and I try to be really careful, by the way, I want to warn you, we're not showing anything graphic as far as videos, but to me it's still disturbing.

00:54:10.000 It's really hard for me to do any of the animal stuff.

00:54:12.000 So let me describe it for you and then tell you you're not going to see anything other than dogs and cages at the market.

00:54:17.000 But I do think it's important to drive this home.

00:54:19.000 To understand the sort of severity, I mean, It's tough because I'm trying to make sure the clip isn't that bad.

00:54:28.000 They reinstated the wet markets.

00:54:31.000 Wet markets, allegedly, from what we understand, created the virus.

00:54:34.000 And now, while the rest of the world is still going through the pandemic, they reinstated them.

00:54:39.000 Imagine the United States removing all the social distancing guidelines and then banning soap.

00:54:43.000 That's how severe bringing back the wet markets can be.

00:54:47.000 No hygiene standards.

00:54:48.000 The cruelty, though, is it's over the top.

00:54:50.000 Dogs are kept in cramped cages and then, I'm not going to show it, but then they're boiled alive.

00:54:55.000 I want to warn you, it's not graphic, but the following footage will make you angry.

00:55:00.000 We had to cut it short because that's all we can show without

00:55:09.000 you guys getting super, super pissed.

00:55:12.000 Now Bill, what does wet market mean?

00:55:15.000 I don't mean to ask you specifically.

00:55:17.000 You do mean precisely to ask him specifically.

00:55:19.000 I think you do, and you're asking the Asian half, so it'll be a good answer.

00:55:23.000 So what people have always understood wet markets to be, and what they've always been described as, is the wet refers to the blood.

00:55:29.000 People are going to be skinning the animals alive, or butchering them alive, on the street, in front of the customers, and like wet work, a military term, you know, assassinations, that type of thing, it refers to the blood that's involved.

00:55:41.000 But now, actually, people are trying to swing the other way to try to to counter the racism of just the facts of the situation of

00:55:49.000 how these wet markets exist.

00:55:50.000 There was an LA Times article that came out either today or yesterday that tried to say,

00:55:53.000 well, it's not actually referring to the blood and the butchering, it's just referring to

00:55:56.000 the fact that they hose the ground off and the ground is wet.

00:56:00.000 Oh, okay.

00:56:01.000 Questions.

00:56:02.000 What are they hosing?

00:56:03.000 The ground is now wet with the blood of the animals that were killed alive because apparently

00:56:07.000 that makes them more delicious.

00:56:08.000 Yes.

00:56:09.000 And by the way, and I know we talked, not all Chinese people support the idea of wet

00:56:13.000 markets, but here's the thing.

00:56:14.000 It's enough.

00:56:16.000 There are enough people that this can happen in a public square. 0.99

00:56:19.000 For example, if you show up with a MAGA hat here in the United States, Antifa's going to show up to punch you in the face.

00:56:24.000 No one is there pulling a Jesus with a temple, just knocking crates over like, you're free! 0.83

00:56:29.000 I want to see wet market Willard.

00:56:33.000 And this is important, one really important thing too.

00:56:35.000 There are no civilized cultures, none, none outside of Asia that eat dogs. 0.99

00:56:40.000 I want to be really clear about this, because I understand the eating cats thing, not just because I don't like cats, but cats have not always been domesticated animals to the same degree that dogs have been.

00:56:48.000 I understand when people now say, oh, pigs.

00:56:51.000 That's wrong, because a lot of people have pigs as pets. 0.86

00:56:51.000 Why do you eat pigs? 0.86

00:56:53.000 I can understand that cultural difference.

00:56:55.000 Since the dawn of human civilization, dogs have been our eyes, our ears, and the senses that we do not have.

00:57:03.000 We have always had an alliance.

00:57:05.000 No other society, outside of Asian societies, eat dogs, except, and I did a lot of research on this, a couple of societies in like the Swiss Alps.

00:57:13.000 And these are really, they're basically like tribes.

00:57:15.000 It's basically Swiss rednecks. 1.00

00:57:15.000 They're basically the Swiss family. 1.00

00:57:17.000 That's all they are.

00:57:18.000 And this is an issue that is like, there is a cruelty to killing an animal that is innately affectionate toward humans.

00:57:27.000 Yeah.

00:57:28.000 And then the way that they do it too.

00:57:29.000 But lest you think that these wet markets exist in the countryside because you think, oh, it's got to be removed.

00:57:33.000 No, the Wuhan area where these wet markets, it's a 15 million person city center.

00:57:37.000 It's like putting it in downtown New York, right?

00:57:40.000 It's around everybody that's packed together.

00:57:42.000 So it's not like an isolated thing out in the country you can go to.

00:57:45.000 Just so you know the numbers, it's tens of thousands of markets.

00:57:49.000 At its peak, before they started shutting them all down, which was not long ago, months ago, we're talking about, there were tens of thousands of these markets.

00:57:57.000 Not just in the quote-unquote rural provinces, which is a good point, Gerald.

00:58:01.000 These are multiple million person cities.

00:58:04.000 Even in Shanghai or Beijing or in the suburbs around those towns, they have those wet markets.

00:58:10.000 Again, it's not just the idea of a butcher, right?

00:58:13.000 We have butchers here and maybe they do live butchering, but it's the proximity of wild animals all together combined with the hygiene and the mixing that creates the huge problem that we have here. 0.98

00:58:24.000 Yeah, and that's a good point.

00:58:25.000 Tens of thousands.

00:58:26.000 It's not like a Michael Vick dog fighting ring where you hear about it in the United States and everyone is horrified and the guy basically loses his path to society.

00:58:34.000 People walk by a dog being boiled alive there and go, well, that seems about right.

00:58:38.000 It's Tuesday.

00:58:38.000 This is something important.

00:58:39.000 This has been a threat globally that has been talked about for a while, but not in mainstream media because Russia, Russia, Russia. 0.71

00:58:45.000 So we can't talk about it.

00:58:46.000 There's only so much air time we have to know about Cuomo's nipple rings and his brother's Alfredo recipe.

00:58:54.000 So let's go through a few points here that I think matter in relation to China.

00:58:57.000 And half-Asian Bill, you can half-correct me wherever I'm wrong. 0.93

00:59:01.000 The wet markets, they're not only where coronavirus started, also SARS.

00:59:05.000 Let's be clear about that.

00:59:07.000 And those are just the diseases that originated specifically in the wet market.

00:59:10.000 So, not all, but many different strains of bird flu, swine flu, they spread in these markets.

00:59:15.000 They weren't created necessarily in these markets, but this is where they spread, and they led to repeated outbreaks.

00:59:21.000 And I know what people are going to say, and I've read this.

00:59:23.000 I don't know where I read this, but they say, well, you know, just because these diseases started there, just like in the United States started Lyme disease.

00:59:29.000 There's a big difference between a disease started in a cruel market with a dog boiled alive from a cage and a tick bite that fell from an oak tree.

00:59:39.000 We really want to compare this?

00:59:40.000 Sure.

00:59:41.000 That's on us.

00:59:42.000 Sorry about the Ozarks and the Lyme disease.

00:59:45.000 Okay?

00:59:46.000 I mean, there is a clear difference between something that occurs in nature and something that is repeatedly, year after year, decade after decade, allowed to happen, not just through inaction, but through actually touting these policies that encourage the kind of conditions in which not just one SARS came out, but the current corona is a version of SARS.

01:00:05.000 It's not like this hasn't happened before, and the Chinese government has before stepped in and immediately said, we're shutting it all down.

01:00:12.000 That's the most important thing to me, right?

01:00:13.000 And we have this as an overlay.

01:00:14.000 They shut down these markets during, they shut them down during the SARS outbreak, during the H7N9, which I don't necessarily remember.

01:00:21.000 It was, oh, that was, that's right, it was the bird flu.

01:00:23.000 We knew about bird flu.

01:00:23.000 That's right, we knew about bird flu.

01:00:24.000 That was a pandemic, I heard.

01:00:25.000 It was.

01:00:26.000 And now coronavirus.

01:00:27.000 So what's most important to me is they shut them down, right?

01:00:30.000 So this disease spreads.

01:00:31.000 They shut down the wet markets, like right away, everyone shut down the wet market!

01:00:34.000 Okay, and then they reopen them so they know that it's happening there.

01:00:39.000 And right now it's extra dickish because the pandemic is still spreading across the globe and they are already reopening them.

01:00:47.000 Like, can't you wait until the bodies have assumed room temperature in Italy and Spain and the United States before you reopen what you knowingly had created as an incubator to create the proliferation of this disease?

01:01:01.000 That's what bothers me.

01:01:02.000 There is no... Ignorance isn't a defense.

01:01:04.000 You told me about that before when I was like, I don't know!

01:01:06.000 I don't know!

01:01:08.000 It's not my... It's not my drugs!

01:01:11.000 They don't even get that argument.

01:01:12.000 No, they don't get that argument!

01:01:13.000 They knew!

01:01:14.000 And I will say this...

01:01:16.000 Not all cultures are created equal.

01:01:18.000 I believe that the American culture is better than the culture that has live wet markets. 0.99

01:01:22.000 as a general rule, or certainly that component of our culture.

01:01:25.000 Yeah.

01:01:26.000 Look, and if you say, and there's been another article Bill came out that I read that said

01:01:29.000 that this is part of Chinese culture and we need to make sure that we don't get rid of 1.00

01:01:32.000 it completely because of livelihoods and everything else.

01:01:34.000 And I'm like, okay, well, I can understand the argument to a degree, but let's, let's

01:01:37.000 at least say if you're going to have this kind of a market, I disagree with some of

01:01:40.000 the animals that you have there.

01:01:42.000 But the other stuff, at least have regulations.

01:01:42.000 I'll never agree with that.

01:01:44.000 What do you disagree with those animals on?

01:01:46.000 Strength theory?

01:01:47.000 I disagree with them having them there.

01:01:48.000 Well, I don't know if I necessarily believe in quantum physics or in every way the world could be.

01:01:52.000 I'm a multiverse kind of person.

01:01:55.000 I heard Gerald say he's a vegan.

01:01:57.000 I disagree with a lot of animals.

01:01:58.000 Really? 0.99

01:01:58.000 You're gay? 0.99

01:01:59.000 So, you have to have regulation there, because they tested, so the problem was with the washing. 0.99

01:01:59.000 No, not at all. 0.99

01:02:03.000 They would put these animals into these baths, it's almost like this communal bath, to clean them off, and they tested the water, and they just kept reusing it, and reusing it, and reusing it.

01:02:11.000 That's where all the viruses are.

01:02:12.000 Alright, we get every single one of them.

01:02:13.000 Let's move on from the wet markets, it's gross.

01:02:14.000 It's terrible.

01:02:16.000 Point made, I think.

01:02:17.000 And, you know what, don't worry, you'll get that duck next time. 1.00

01:02:19.000 He's a clever little bastard. 1.00

01:02:19.000 Damn those animals. 1.00

01:02:23.000 Let's go down to some other dangerous things that have been going. 1.00

01:02:26.000 The research.

01:02:27.000 If the wet markets weren't bad enough, Chinese government, they've been conducting all kinds of viral research. 0.98

01:02:32.000 Oh yeah.

01:02:33.000 They isolated and worked with over 2,000 new viruses, including bat coronaviruses, just three miles.

01:02:42.000 From the Wuhan market.

01:02:43.000 You were saying actually some of them are 1.2 kilometers.

01:02:46.000 It was 1.2 kilometers away.

01:02:47.000 Washington Times put up there that it was 3.

01:02:49.000 But I actually just Google Earthed it.

01:02:50.000 But the Chinese government, or somebody, removed from Google the listing of where that is.

01:02:55.000 That's interesting.

01:02:55.000 I would like to know why there's that discrepancy.

01:02:57.000 I wonder if it's the way of the bird?

01:02:59.000 No.

01:02:59.000 So 1.2 kilometers walking.

01:03:01.000 Really?

01:03:02.000 Walking.

01:03:03.000 You can look it up right now.

01:03:04.000 Well, I don't want to look it up right now.

01:03:05.000 I'm saying, like, the people at home can look it up right now.

01:03:07.000 I'll trust you over Washington Times.

01:03:09.000 You should definitely do that.

01:03:10.000 Okay, to give you an idea, when people say, they're researching viruses, deadly viruses.

01:03:15.000 Call it three miles to be generous.

01:03:17.000 If it's 1.2 kilometers, that's about half a mile.

01:03:20.000 That's close.

01:03:21.000 That'd be like growing organic turnips next to Area 51.

01:03:24.000 Yeah, that's not a good idea.

01:03:26.000 It's not a good idea, no matter... That's how you get alien turnips.

01:03:29.000 And this isn't a race thing, it's a bad idea thing. 1.00

01:03:32.000 Don't study deadly viruses next to where people eat live things!

01:03:38.000 Yes.

01:03:38.000 Oh, and by the way, there's a hospital right across the street from this place as well.

01:03:42.000 Really?

01:03:43.000 So there was actually a paper by, what is it, South China Technical Institute that came

01:03:46.000 out.

01:03:47.000 It's been out for a couple of months, just got recently updated.

01:03:48.000 They are saying- You suggest it like I would know it.

01:03:50.000 Like, oh, yes, it's South China Technical Times.

01:03:51.000 Yes, Technical Times, yeah.

01:03:52.000 The SCTO.

01:03:53.000 You're familiar with them, Bill?

01:03:54.000 Here's the reason.

01:03:55.000 Like I'm reading it with my pipe and slippers on Sunday.

01:03:57.000 Let me see what they're like.

01:03:59.000 Is anyone else getting the feeling that Gerald stalks the Wuhan Instagram page?

01:04:02.000 I'm telling you, man, I'm all over this right now.

01:04:05.000 Oh, did that guy tag you?

01:04:06.000 Yeah.

01:04:07.000 I hope he's using our sponsor ExpressVPN because something tells me that you would find a hard

01:04:11.000 drive full of Chinese pornography.

01:04:12.000 No. 0.99

01:04:13.000 Definitely not.

01:04:14.000 Hey, my Chinese government contact said that you're on some list over there.

01:04:18.000 Well I should be by now, but what they're saying is that they actually don't think that there is any evidence that it came from the market, meaning originated there.

01:04:26.000 They're saying that the only evidence they have is tissue samples that were being worked on at this Center for Disease Control in China.

01:04:32.000 This is not a conspiracy theory.

01:04:33.000 They're saying that the closest Habitat for these bats is over 900 kilometers away, the bats that they say caused it, and were not being sold at the market at the time.

01:04:41.000 But they're selling bats now, so I don't know that I buy that.

01:04:43.000 No, that particular bat.

01:04:44.000 Where is this information coming from?

01:04:45.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:04:46.000 From these scientists.

01:04:47.000 It's coming from an inside source, by the way.

01:04:48.000 South China.

01:04:49.000 He has some colloidal silver, which will kill the strain directly in his tractor.

01:04:52.000 No, no, no, I'm not saying it's true.

01:04:53.000 I'm saying it's 100%.

01:04:54.000 You said you thought maybe it came from the lab.

01:04:56.000 Look, I think that there's a substantial chance that the lab was involved in one capacity or another.

01:05:02.000 It may not have been nefarious, though.

01:05:04.000 It may have been an accident.

01:05:05.000 Exactly.

01:05:06.000 I'm not saying there's some kind of intentional release or even intentionally creating biological weapons or anything like that.

01:05:13.000 When you say it out loud like that, it actually doesn't sound so far fetched.

01:05:17.000 You would never hear me say that China did that.

01:05:20.000 If the binding shoe fits.

01:05:22.000 So like I said earlier, the issue is bringing all these things together.

01:05:26.000 So if you're bringing animals with different, all animals have diseases.

01:05:30.000 And time and time again, a lot of these very pandemic inducing diseases come from, frankly,

01:05:36.000 an unholy combination or proximity of unhygienic animals and people and butchering processes

01:05:43.000 or even other types of things like that.

01:05:45.000 And when you put them all together frequently, frequently, frequently, it's just, it's not,

01:05:49.000 doesn't mean today it's going to be bad or tomorrow's going to be bad or next month,

01:05:52.000 but you've increased the chances that something is going to spread animal to animal.

01:05:55.000 Let me say something else too.

01:05:57.000 This is important.

01:05:58.000 We're not just pointing out cruelty because we don't like it.

01:06:00.000 No, cruelty actually does have a dramatic effect on the health of these animals and

01:06:04.000 the immune system.

01:06:05.000 Like people want to talk about factory farming in the United States.

01:06:06.000 That's why they have to inject them with all kinds of antibiotics, because they're close proximity.

01:06:10.000 Your dog is filthy enough. 0.99

01:06:12.000 They lick their crotch and then try and lick your face. 1.00

01:06:13.000 Like, I get it. 0.99

01:06:14.000 And kind of when it's your own dog, most people are fine with it.

01:06:17.000 I understand.

01:06:17.000 But that's not what's happening with these dogs.

01:06:19.000 When you put them in a cage and they're basically being abused their entire lives, they are going to be more fertile carriers for disease.

01:06:27.000 And to give you, just so you know, this isn't necessarily, and I think everything that you've all said here is reasonable.

01:06:31.000 And now I'm starting to think, Yeah, biological warfare.

01:06:34.000 But, I would never claim that.

01:06:36.000 But in 2013, Chinese researchers, they created a mutated strain of the bird flu and their attempts to make, this is quote, attempts to make strains in a lab that would, if accidentally released or used for nefarious purposes, pose a potentially global health threat. 0.92

01:06:51.000 Now, I'm saying, they were just saying that's a possibility.

01:06:53.000 They weren't playing it coy like, oh, whoopsie, gates go up.

01:06:57.000 Ha, ha, ha, ha, bird poo for you. 0.97

01:06:59.000 They were just saying that, hey, if this were to happen, it would be really bad.

01:07:03.000 And they were acknowledging that we're doing all of these things that hopefully this, like, have you seen Jurassic

01:07:08.000 Park 1 through 5?

01:07:10.000 This never works out well.

01:07:11.000 I've only seen Jurassic Park 7.

01:07:13.000 Really?

01:07:14.000 Yeah, it's amazing.

01:07:15.000 It just takes place entirely in a Walmart.

01:07:17.000 Oh.

01:07:17.000 I thought that was the exclusive Chinese release.

01:07:19.000 It's a Walmart in China.

01:07:20.000 Where it's just Jeff Goldblum saying, uh, uh, uh, Rife, uh, finds a way.

01:07:28.000 By the way, hit the notification bell if you're not subscribed or not joining Mug Club despite Mug Club Quarantine Month.

01:07:34.000 Hit all notifications.

01:07:36.000 And of course, subscribe to Credit Bits.

01:07:38.000 We have new videos that go up every night at 9 p.m.

01:07:40.000 Eastern, anyway, here on YouTube.

01:07:41.000 So there's always a clip on YouTube, you just don't get the full show.

01:07:44.000 Here's another thing that I think is pretty important when we're talking about China, and because the media is not doing it, they're carrying their water.

01:07:49.000 I'll tell you why.

01:07:51.000 I think the media are communist sympathizers.

01:07:53.000 I'm not going to walk that back at all right now.

01:07:55.000 No.

01:07:55.000 But I'll circle back to that because, unless you shut it off, I just did advertise colloidal silver and say that they were commies.

01:08:02.000 Let's get to the masks, the test kits, the equipment, right?

01:08:05.000 Here's the thing.

01:08:06.000 They've not been honest.

01:08:07.000 We now know this when it comes to medical testing.

01:08:10.000 Right?

01:08:11.000 Now everyone is acknowledging that.

01:08:11.000 With the coronavirus.

01:08:13.000 We were throttled on YouTube for saying, you cannot trust the numbers coming out of China right now. 0.94

01:08:20.000 We didn't say that they are flat out wrong, but you can't trust them yet.

01:08:24.000 And of course, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, they decided to redirect all of these kinds of statements to more authoritative sources.

01:08:31.000 Some of which were directly from the Chinese Communist government.

01:08:34.000 We'll come back to that.

01:08:36.000 By the way, Donald Trump said, we're not taking the masks. 0.97

01:08:38.000 Everyone gave him crap for it. 0.90

01:08:39.000 The Netherlands, they had to recall 600,000 faulty masks from China. 0.98

01:08:44.000 The latest test kits from Spain, they only work 30% of the time.

01:08:47.000 Same for the kids, Turkey. 0.99

01:08:49.000 Yeah, country after country.

01:08:50.000 They are scrambling to try and dump some of these bad Chinese products that are destroying the chances of taking the coronavirus out or at least containing it. 1.00

01:08:59.000 And think about this for a second.

01:09:00.000 Take all the numbers from these countries.

01:09:02.000 And then add potentially 30%.

01:09:04.000 Yeah.

01:09:04.000 When you're talking about the infection rates.

01:09:06.000 Yeah.

01:09:07.000 We're the only country that doesn't have that right now.

01:09:09.000 We have more accurate testing right now.

01:09:11.000 Yeah.

01:09:12.000 And now we're doing more and more testing by the day.

01:09:13.000 The fact, I was shocked.

01:09:15.000 I had to double check this and have read your research.

01:09:18.000 A 30% failure rate?

01:09:19.000 You might not even take that test!

01:09:21.000 That's insane.

01:09:22.000 Would you use a condom with a 30% failure rate? 0.64

01:09:25.000 Yeah.

01:09:25.000 That's a high margin.

01:09:26.000 It only works 30% of the time.

01:09:27.000 That's what he's saying.

01:09:28.000 So it's a 70% failure rate is what they had.

01:09:31.000 Oh, they only work 30% of the time.

01:09:33.000 Well, the problem is I'm so anti-Chinese, I can't do math. 0.95

01:09:35.000 Well, no, that would be bad enough.

01:09:37.000 If it had a 30% failure rate, we'd be up in arms.

01:09:39.000 It was a 70% failure rate.

01:09:41.000 And the Chinese government in Spain, basically, the embassy said, well, they weren't licensed to make the product, so our bad.

01:09:41.000 Wow.

01:09:48.000 That was their defense of the entire thing.

01:09:50.000 Our bad.

01:09:50.000 Also, the baby food, asbestos.

01:09:53.000 Might want to avoid that for a while.

01:09:55.000 The Best Buy date, not really relevant.

01:09:57.000 It's all bad.

01:10:02.000 They do have a history, by the way, of sometimes, China exporting goods, poisonous toothpaste, toxic children's toys, unsafe tires, all of which had to be recalled.

01:10:12.000 Now I want to be really clear, not all Chinese goods are bad, and not all American goods.

01:10:17.000 We are good.

01:10:18.000 So, and by the way, if there's an American manufacturer out there who can actually create a quality mug for us, we would love to work with you.

01:10:24.000 It just has to be at a reasonable rate and decent quality.

01:10:27.000 At that time, we could only find American Union made mugs and it was more expensive, so we said we'll bring it in from a company that tests, chemically tests, their products.

01:10:36.000 And now we have Americans who are etching it and painting it to create more jobs. 0.59

01:10:39.000 But if there is an American manufacturer who can make this kind of a mug, we would love to partner with you.

01:10:44.000 And if you want a big ol' fat contract amidst this pandemic, there are a lot of new mug clubs sign up, so thank all of you.

01:10:51.000 Are you about to say something there, Joe?

01:10:52.000 No, no, no, you're good.

01:10:53.000 Keep going.

01:10:54.000 Keep rolling, man.

01:10:54.000 Well, and that's one thing, too.

01:10:55.000 Again, made in the USA sometimes can also mean crap. 0.99

01:10:58.000 Yes. 0.98

01:10:59.000 Well, we've talked about that with Harley-Davidson.

01:11:01.000 You're not a huge fan of Harley-Davidson.

01:11:03.000 You say there's great products from other countries. 0.98

01:11:05.000 In this case, China just keeps sending us crap kind of repeatedly. 0.97

01:11:08.000 I don't believe that all American products are the best, especially when you compare, for example, American cars with Japanese cars. 0.94

01:11:12.000 When you look at the costs that go in for LASIK and dental and unions per retiree, we need to be clear about that.

01:11:17.000 But it's also very difficult to make the argument that Americans can compete effectively with a country that employs slave labor when you look at it.

01:11:25.000 And again, that's a problem with the Chinese government.

01:11:27.000 The problem right here is not with some products being faulty because you can have the same thing in any other country.

01:11:32.000 The problem is with the Chinese government recognizing that and sending them out internationally Anyway.

01:11:38.000 Yeah, and we're not taking a dump on American products when we say that they're substandard.

01:11:41.000 We want them to be good.

01:11:42.000 I said some are.

01:11:43.000 No, some. 1.00

01:11:43.000 Because I don't want everyone out there to say, you know, hey, made in China means crap. 1.00

01:11:47.000 No, no, no, not necessarily. 0.91

01:11:48.000 But in American products, we want you to make great stuff so that it can compete with the rest of the world.

01:11:52.000 Right.

01:11:52.000 So when we hold your feet to the fire, that's why.

01:11:54.000 What do you think when you say made in USA or made in China, Bill?

01:11:57.000 It doesn't matter.

01:11:59.000 I mean, look, it's a global economy.

01:12:01.000 Things are made in China. 0.99

01:12:02.000 They're good.

01:12:02.000 Some are not good.

01:12:03.000 Same in the U.S. 0.62

01:12:04.000 I mean, it's apples and oranges when you compare the economy here and all the things.

01:12:09.000 I mean, there are a number of people who want to hate on America and say that there are so many bad things that are happening.

01:12:14.000 But when you think about why we have to charge more, why we have certain standards of living that are much better, Yeah.

01:12:21.000 Yeah.

01:12:21.000 We are not the source of global pandemics.

01:12:23.000 I mean, you know, I get it.

01:12:24.000 There's a different balance.

01:12:25.000 There's a number of people in China who are allowing this to continue to happen.

01:12:29.000 And a lot of those people are in government.

01:12:30.000 They want to keep, they want to keep the pristine view that they think they have about how they're

01:12:35.000 treating their people and to continue to have a global economy be the engine that's sending

01:12:40.000 a lot of products around the world.

01:12:42.000 But it's going to take the Chinese people to say, we got to do something different. 0.95

01:12:45.000 I hope, I pray to God, and I mean, that we see an armed interaction from the Chinese 0.99

01:12:49.000 people against those commie bastards at some point in their lifetime. 0.99

01:12:52.000 Are you encouraging violence? 0.99

01:12:55.000 For the people who are being oppressed?

01:12:57.000 For the people who've all of a sudden disappeared?

01:12:59.000 Whistleblowers? 0.99

01:13:00.000 Right?

01:13:00.000 Several doctors now?

01:13:02.000 One tried to blow the whistle on the masks?

01:13:03.000 She's gone!

01:13:05.000 Yeah, I think some people need to defend themselves right now.

01:13:07.000 I think people need to rise up, and hopefully the international community, rather than being paralyzed by political correctness, will say, you know what?

01:13:13.000 You know what?

01:13:14.000 These people, not the government, these people deserve the same rights that we have in France, in Spain, in Italy, in the United States. 0.99

01:13:20.000 So you know what, Chinese government, because we sympathize with your people, f*** off. 0.99

01:13:25.000 How about that? 0.98

01:13:26.000 At some point, we need to do that.

01:13:28.000 I'd love to hear that press conference.

01:13:29.000 Here's another point.

01:13:30.000 Fentanyl.

01:13:31.000 Is it fentanyl or fentanyl?

01:13:33.000 Fentanyl.

01:13:33.000 I have no idea.

01:13:34.000 I'll ask my wife.

01:13:36.000 I thought it was, but the president said fentanyl, and I was like, oh he's the president, I must be wrong.

01:13:39.000 Then I realized, not exactly.

01:13:41.000 Don't use fentanyl as a gauge.

01:13:43.000 The rate of fentanyl-related deaths has been doubling every year.

01:13:46.000 Now almost 20,000 dying each year.

01:13:49.000 Main destination for fentanyl?

01:13:51.000 The United States.

01:13:52.000 Main source of fentanyl?

01:13:53.000 China.

01:13:53.000 Now, I know what you're thinking, and this is a valid point.

01:13:56.000 You have Americans who make meth or synthesize opioids. 0.93

01:13:59.000 That's absolutely true.

01:14:00.000 But those people are not creating drugs that are effectively sanctioned or actually subsidized by the government and given tax breaks on exports, as you see in China.

01:14:11.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:14:12.000 No, that actually happens. 0.90

01:14:13.000 For context, just imagine Joe Exotic receiving a federal grant for a gay meth tattoo parlor tiger den. 0.91

01:14:19.000 That's what's happening. 0.64

01:14:21.000 On season two.

01:14:22.000 It's not that they're the only country with drugs.

01:14:24.000 That's not my issue.

01:14:25.000 It's the government actually subsidizing and giving tax breaks on fentanyl as an export.

01:14:32.000 Oh my gosh.

01:14:33.000 Is fentanyl, so what do people use fentanyl for?

01:14:34.000 Do they, just to get high?

01:14:36.000 Oh my god.

01:14:36.000 I'm serious, I don't know.

01:14:37.000 You frickin' moron. 1.00

01:14:38.000 I don't know! 1.00

01:14:39.000 I'm asking the question!

01:14:41.000 Wow, I didn't realize.

01:14:43.000 Bill is, no, Gerald is not, Gerald is this innocent.

01:14:47.000 Fentanyl is a crazy painkiller.

01:14:49.000 Okay, and I knew it was a painkiller.

01:14:50.000 But here's how dangerous it is.

01:14:51.000 Is he just overtaking it?

01:14:51.000 Well, it's so dangerous that if you put, like, a grain of it in heroin, the long-time heroin user dies.

01:14:58.000 Really?

01:14:58.000 Yes.

01:14:59.000 Oh.

01:14:59.000 It's that potent.

01:15:00.000 Okay.

01:15:01.000 It's crazy.

01:15:02.000 It's not like, uh, I overdid it.

01:15:04.000 It's like, I inhaled a grain of and you're dead right away.

01:15:08.000 Yeah, it's like one grain in like 90 cases of wine would still kill you. 0.98

01:15:12.000 Dang it!

01:15:13.000 Yeah, it's really bad.

01:15:15.000 I knew it was a painkiller, I just didn't know how people were using it.

01:15:17.000 And you know what, I will say though, we do have to get going pretty soon.

01:15:19.000 Fortunately, President Trump, on all these points, but particularly fentanyl as he pronounced it, he's been pretty consistent and I wish that more people listened on all of these points.

01:15:29.000 They tax our goods going into China.

01:15:32.000 It's a totally unfair deal.

01:15:33.000 We've taxed China on $300 billion worth of goods and products being sold into our country. 0.79

01:15:41.000 The Chinese virus, it comes from China. 0.98

01:15:45.000 I think he has taken so much crap for calling China out, but somebody had to. 0.99

01:15:49.000 Somebody finally had to stand up and say, look, this isn't fair, you're not dealing with the rest of the world in a fair way, and you have to be dealt with. 0.97

01:15:56.000 And I don't know why people can't see how obvious that is.

01:15:58.000 Can I call it right now?

01:15:59.000 The first wave that we're seeing in the last couple of days of people, you know, mainstream media saying, we're going to question the China numbers.

01:16:07.000 Oh, maybe we should not necessarily believe the facts that are coming from this communist government.

01:16:12.000 In three months from now, every one of them is going to forget that they said, oh, we shouldn't have been hard on China.

01:16:17.000 And all of them are going to come back to those facts and say, oh, that's right.

01:16:21.000 China was bad. 0.99

01:16:21.000 But they will conveniently forget that during this period, they said, let's keep listening. 0.99

01:16:27.000 I think they're communist sympathizers.

01:16:28.000 I'm not saying that the media are communists, but I will not walk this back at all.

01:16:32.000 Think about it for a second.

01:16:32.000 Why were Washington Post, New York Times, Vox all saying the flu is something you should worry about, the coronavirus is not an issue, don't worry about it.

01:16:40.000 Now they're trying to act like it's a left-right thing.

01:16:41.000 No, no, no, you guys said not to worry about it because that's At that point, you were parroting the World Health Organization talking points, who, by the way, were parroting the Chinese government talking points.

01:16:49.000 Then, all of a sudden, when it was blamed on the United States that we weren't ready because we were trusting information from China, and a Chinese foreign minister who, by the way, was not throttled or censored by Twitter at all, but Laura Ingraham was for saying that the masks were faulty, which is true.

01:17:02.000 Actually, no, she was censored because of the chloroquine thing.

01:17:04.000 I think I was censored for saying the masks were faulty. 0.98

01:17:07.000 It's all so sh**ty! 0.62

01:17:10.000 Um, the issue, what was I saying before that? 0.96

01:17:12.000 What was I talking about before that?

01:17:14.000 Oh yeah, so, again, the quickest, Occam's razor here.

01:17:17.000 Why would they say it's not a big deal, and then all of a sudden say it's a big deal and the right is wrong about it?

01:17:21.000 For the same reason that they don't seem to have a problem with doctors and whistleblowers disappearing in China.

01:17:28.000 And they refuse to run the press briefings here in the United States from the White House.

01:17:32.000 Here's a new rule.

01:17:33.000 While we're talking about freedom of the press, you know what?

01:17:35.000 It's not exactly communist China here if CNN refuses to run the press briefing and instead runs commentary on the press briefing that you don't get a seat or a press badge.

01:17:45.000 How about that?

01:17:46.000 How about once you stop parroting communist Chinese talking points, then maybe you get a seat at that table.

01:17:51.000 It is remarkable to me that I can't think of any other time in American history, but orange man bad, that we have a president, commander-in-chief, who's going out there addressing the people directly.

01:18:02.000 The president of the United States and the media is opting not to run it.

01:18:08.000 Instead, running false propaganda that maybe they're not getting from the Chinese government, but it certainly would be congruent with the messages that the Chinese government is trying to put out there right now.

01:18:17.000 When you look at reporters retweeting the foreign minister with conspiracy theories, for some reason they're still on there, but Alex Jones is not.

01:18:23.000 This is the president, and something else that's remarkable, they go, oh, potentially 100,000 to 220,000 deaths from coronavirus.

01:18:29.000 You know where you got those numbers? 0.65

01:18:30.000 From Donald Trump's press briefing, dummy!

01:18:33.000 But you didn't run it because you didn't want to include that we're getting hundreds of thousands of new masks. 0.95

01:18:39.000 We're getting hundreds of thousands of masks that can be sanitized.

01:18:41.000 The FDA approved the therapeutics that Donald Trump touted and you said he was wrong and crazy about.

01:18:46.000 So what do they do?

01:18:47.000 They don't run the press briefing.

01:18:50.000 Instead, they run commentary on the press briefing while the Cuomos talk about their mom's pasta sauce and nipple rinse.

01:18:56.000 And then they take the worst numbers from the press briefings and don't actually tell Americans about the positives.

01:19:02.000 Listen, not all cultures are created equal.

01:19:05.000 And Donald Trump is right about this, just like Bernie Sanders was right about this.

01:19:09.000 Americans should not have to compete with a child at a Nike factory who's working for $1.50 a day.

01:19:16.000 We can't beat an international economy if it's not fair.

01:19:19.000 And you know what?

01:19:20.000 When we're talking about this, not all cultures are created equal because I think that American exceptionalism is a good thing.

01:19:25.000 And you know, if you boil dogs alive and you pay children $1.25 or $3.25 a day, guess what?

01:19:34.000 You don't get a seat at the international bargaining table.

01:19:37.000 And not just China, because not all cultures are equal. 0.92

01:19:39.000 If you don't let your women drive, you don't get to sit and dictate any policy or even express your opinion here in the United States. 1.00

01:19:46.000 If you allow women to be beaten or they require four witnesses for rape, f*** you. 1.00

01:19:50.000 We don't need to listen to you. 1.00

01:19:51.000 We're not going to be on any committee or international agreement that you take part in.

01:19:55.000 So let's start with China and then work our way down so that hopefully we can be the empire we've been accused of being and make the rest of the world the United States of America.

01:20:04.000 Why?

01:20:05.000 Because the Chinese and everyone else would be better off. 0.99

01:20:08.000 How about that?

01:20:08.000 Tim Pool.

01:20:09.000 I think I stubbed a toe on my desk.

01:20:11.000 At least she's Chinese. 1.00

01:20:13.000 Two.

01:20:13.000 And two.

01:20:14.000 And three.

01:20:14.000 And four.

01:20:15.000 And five.

01:20:19.000 Chinica.

01:20:21.000 So love.

01:20:22.000 It's better to have love and lust.

01:20:25.000 Than never to have love at all.

01:20:29.000 You need to understand the clocks.

01:20:31.000 You need to understand the story point.

01:22:49.000 It's better to have love and lust That was a little bit of my, uh, was it Dick Van Dyke, the Love to Laugh?

01:22:56.000 Or was it the other guy?

01:22:57.000 That was Dick Van Dyke.

01:22:58.000 He was involved in the song.

01:23:02.000 Right?

01:23:02.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:23:02.000 He was along with the song.

01:23:05.000 I don't know if that's the kind of thing back then.

01:23:07.000 Were they laughing in theaters at that?

01:23:09.000 That's a good question.

01:23:10.000 Like when people say, it was a different time.

01:23:12.000 Was it?

01:23:13.000 Did people see him go, I love to laugh.

01:23:17.000 Oh, that Dick Van Dyke, he really slays me.

01:23:19.000 It was a simpler time.

01:23:21.000 No, no. 0.99

01:23:21.000 Do you mean stupider time? 0.99

01:23:23.000 I don't think people were stupid. 1.00

01:23:24.000 I mean simpler. 0.99

01:23:24.000 They did storm the beaches of Normandy. 0.99

01:23:27.000 I think they probably had a, and they also, by the way, loved Some Like It Hot, which is still funny.

01:23:31.000 Yeah.

01:23:31.000 Right.

01:23:32.000 That's true.

01:23:32.000 So I don't know.

01:23:33.000 I'm just frustrated.

01:23:34.000 I'm at this point now in the week where I really appreciate it.

01:23:36.000 Mug Club Quarantine Month, but I'm frustrated.

01:23:38.000 I'm tired.

01:23:40.000 I'm doing two shows a day.

01:23:40.000 What's I think?

01:23:43.000 But I'm very glad.

01:23:44.000 There's a sliver of... No, I'm very grateful.

01:23:47.000 But there's a light at the end of the tunnel here for today as we kind of go into the homestretch.

01:23:51.000 He, of course, you know him, you love him.

01:23:52.000 His YouTube channel is TimCast and TimCastNews.

01:23:56.000 And you can follow him at... There's both, isn't there?

01:23:59.000 TimCast and TimCastNews.

01:24:00.000 You were going to correct me.

01:24:01.000 That's rude.

01:24:02.000 And he's on the Twitter, while it's still available, at TimCast.

01:24:05.000 Mr. Poole, how are you, sir?

01:24:07.000 Pretty good, all things considered.

01:24:09.000 What does that mean, all things considered?

01:24:10.000 You don't have AIDS, do you?

01:24:11.000 Oh no.

01:24:12.000 No, but we're told not to go outside.

01:24:15.000 We're told not to go to the store.

01:24:17.000 We're told that the world's basically ending and the economy must be destroyed because there's this virus wiping out everything.

01:24:23.000 I work from home, so not much has changed for me other than we have less chicken in the freezer, I guess.

01:24:28.000 Right.

01:24:28.000 We're eating more beans.

01:24:30.000 Well, I don't know.

01:24:31.000 You're half Asian, right?

01:24:33.000 Quarter Asian, actually. 0.95

01:24:34.000 Quarter Asian. 0.92

01:24:36.000 They have like red bean ice cream in some of those Asian countries, right?

01:24:40.000 Eat a lot of ice cream?

01:24:40.000 So is that what you mean?

01:24:43.000 Well, yeah, actually, a little bit of ice cream.

01:24:45.000 No, we went to the store and we got beans.

01:24:46.000 The bean market is a-boomin'.

01:24:47.000 I don't know if you heard it.

01:24:48.000 Seriously, like, they're bullish on bean stocks.

01:24:51.000 Really?

01:24:52.000 That's the apocalypse food, I guess.

01:24:54.000 I thought that beans were going bear.

01:24:56.000 I thought it was a bear market for beans.

01:24:59.000 Hey, real quick before we move on.

01:25:00.000 You have a new show, right?

01:25:01.000 Every weeknight at 8pm.

01:25:03.000 What is it?

01:25:05.000 Yeah, so youtube.com slash timcast IRL, me and my buddy Adam do, it was supposed to be a general interest show, like we talked about movies, we're talking about the new Sonic the Hedgehog movie.

01:25:15.000 And then then the apocalypse happened.

01:25:17.000 And now there's no news other than Coronavirus.

01:25:19.000 And we're sitting here like, dude, I feel you when you were saying you're, you know, you're tired or whatever, however you phrase it, I'm getting so sick of Every front page story is COVID, COVID, COVID.

01:25:29.000 Yeah.

01:25:29.000 I'm like, dude, give me a Brad Pitt's shirtless, you know, celebrity gossip story, man.

01:25:34.000 Are you sure you don't have AIDS a little bit, that that's the first place you would go? 0.74

01:25:38.000 No, no, no.

01:25:39.000 It's actually a joke from the show because there was one story on the Daily Mail.

01:25:42.000 Out of all the coronavirus, there was one tiny story and it was like Brad Pitt took his shirt off.

01:25:47.000 They decided to run with it and I'm like, I'll take whatever I can get.

01:25:50.000 No, no, no.

01:25:51.000 I understand.

01:25:52.000 I still, you know, Brad Pitt is still responsible for these, uh, I have this scar tissue on my knuckle.

01:25:52.000 I'm with you.

01:25:56.000 Really?

01:25:57.000 Yeah.

01:25:57.000 Really?

01:25:58.000 Because that shot in Legends of the Fall when he comes over the hill on horseback.

01:26:02.000 Yeah.

01:26:04.000 All the time.

01:26:04.000 So I just can't, you know, Brad Pitt owes me some connective tissue repair.

01:26:08.000 And I agree with you on this.

01:26:09.000 I want to move on to some specifics.

01:26:11.000 The problem is the news media, of course, is all Corona, Corona, Corona, Corona all the time.

01:26:16.000 And then so much of it needs to be corrected that a silly late night show like this and now morning show has to spend time on it because we watch CNN for an hour.

01:26:27.000 Not one mention of private industry stepping up and making masks.

01:26:30.000 Not one mention of them being able to sanitize masks.

01:26:32.000 Not one mention of the FDA approved product.

01:26:34.000 No, no, I'm sorry Steven, you're wrong.

01:26:37.000 They did take time out of their day to insult Mike Lindell for switching his polo production to masks and I...

01:26:43.000 I can't say I'm surprised.

01:26:45.000 I think it was Jim Acosta called him the pillow guy and derided him for... it's like, come on, man.

01:26:50.000 Yeah, it upsets me because that's primarily my job. 0.98

01:26:53.000 I'm supposed to make fun of the pillow rapist guy who put some packing peanuts in a tarp and sold, thrust it upon the American public because Lori Greiner from Shark Tank likes to use Bed Bath & Beyond to sell cheap crap. 0.99

01:27:05.000 But I appreciate that, gosh, this guy retooled 75% of his factories. 0.87

01:27:11.000 Not only is that nationally relevant, but isn't it the job of the media and certainly our leaders to not only be truthful, but to try and find the positive amidst a pandemic?

01:27:23.000 Don't they bear some responsibility?

01:27:26.000 Yeah, you know, I'm always a little self-critical, too, because I feel like a lot of what I do and a lot of other, you know, I guess, media critics, we're decently negative, too, but it's almost, it's a reaction to the media just misleading and misrepresenting and constantly trying to make us feel like trash.

01:27:42.000 So I feel like, you know, to a certain degree, I deserve some blame because then I throw the pies right back.

01:27:46.000 But I don't know what else you do.

01:27:48.000 I'm not going to sit here and let them just lie and misrepresent what's going on.

01:27:51.000 And that's what they do all day.

01:27:52.000 It's absurd.

01:27:53.000 And I know you've talked about it in your recent video.

01:27:53.000 Well, that's what happened.

01:27:55.000 You know, they talk about President Trump and Fox News downplaying the coronavirus.

01:27:59.000 So that's a conservative thing.

01:28:00.000 I know you're not a conservative, though, unfortunately, you've been labeled one because you have the gall to appear on this show.

01:28:07.000 You probably have some insight into that.

01:28:09.000 It wasn't just conservatives.

01:28:10.000 That was all of mainstream media up until March, downplaying coronavirus.

01:28:15.000 You know that Media Matters ran a smear on Fox News, I believe it was January 28th, saying that they were fear-mongering about the coronavirus in China.

01:28:25.000 You had Greg Gutfeld, you had Tucker Carlson, They were raising the red flags very early on, and the media was trashing them for it.

01:28:36.000 My favorite story to go to is Washington Post, February 4th.

01:28:39.000 Get a grip, America.

01:28:40.000 The flu is a way bigger threat than coronavirus.

01:28:42.000 And there's a meme going around of all of these stories from all these mainstream media companies, where they were saying, the flu is worse.

01:28:49.000 BuzzFeed.

01:28:50.000 I believe this was on January 28th.

01:28:52.000 They said, don't fear the coronavirus, the flu is worse.

01:28:55.000 And these tweets and these posts are all still up.

01:28:57.000 Yet now they're going to Fox News saying, aha, Hannity was downplaying this.

01:29:02.000 And it's like, so were you.

01:29:04.000 You know my favorite argument is, you see all these pundits coming out attacking Trump for his slow response.

01:29:10.000 And okay, maybe Trump did have a slow response and did a bad job.

01:29:14.000 I think Trump was a little slow on this one.

01:29:16.000 But guess what?

01:29:17.000 The Democrats didn't do anything.

01:29:18.000 No, they criticized him for being racist when he instituted the travel ban.

01:29:22.000 Exactly. And they were focused on impeachment. So if your argument is that Trump was going too slow

01:29:26.000 and that means he's not, you know, he's doing a terrible job, it's like, okay, fine, I accept

01:29:30.000 that. That means you did a worse job because you were literally doing nothing but try to impeach

01:29:34.000 the guy while he was actually, you know, putting the task force together.

01:29:37.000 Think about this for a second.

01:29:37.000 We've talked about this quite a bit, but let's draw a hypothetical scenario.

01:29:41.000 Can you imagine how the media would have reacted during this impeachment trial if Donald Trump said, OK, you know what?

01:29:47.000 We are going to institute a stay in place.

01:29:49.000 We're going to put a travel ban, and we're going to invoke the Defense Production Act.

01:29:53.000 Because this was going on through February 3rd with Adam Schiff giving his testimony.

01:29:58.000 Can you imagine how they would have reacted had he done it at that point?

01:30:02.000 There are finite resources here, guys.

01:30:03.000 We can't do all of it.

01:30:05.000 I'll give you the headline.

01:30:06.000 The opinion piece in the New York Times, Trump's desperate attempt to distract from his, you know, impeachment, impending impeachment conviction.

01:30:14.000 Right.

01:30:14.000 Donald Trump earlier today tried to claim there was a real threat to the American health in a desperate bid to stop the, you know, distract the American public once again, blah, blah, blah.

01:30:22.000 No, you're exactly right.

01:30:22.000 Right, right, right.

01:30:23.000 And I wonder how much, how much of it is, is this now where they're trying to say that it's a conservative problem and downplaying it just because they want to sort of move on from the impeachment trial and them downplaying it for so long.

01:30:34.000 So they want to put it at his feet.

01:30:36.000 This was a story that I was just commenting on.

01:30:38.000 I was just reading it.

01:30:39.000 This guy from Media Matters accused Greg Gutfeld of downplay- or he said Fox News downplayed this.

01:30:45.000 Greg responded and the guy called him a liar.

01:30:47.000 And now there's a video clip from the 28th of Greg saying, our administration isn't doing a good enough job on this.

01:30:52.000 China's locking everything down.

01:30:54.000 Right.

01:30:54.000 And I'm like, did you read the story about how Tucker Carlson went down to Florida to meet with Trump to tell him this was a serious issue on like February- the beginning of February or whatever?

01:31:02.000 Right.

01:31:03.000 It's like, You know, I think everybody was a bit slow on this one, for sure.

01:31:07.000 Even I, initially, on the 23rd of January, said I didn't think it was going to be a big deal, and I was wrong.

01:31:11.000 And then I started to change my tune when more information came out.

01:31:14.000 But I think it's fair to point out everybody was slow on this.

01:31:17.000 And at a time when BuzzFeed, Washington Post, and everybody had said it was no big deal, at the very least, I would put a finer point on it, not to disagree with you.

01:31:31.000 I would say that everybody was proactively slowed down by the agents that be in government at the CDC and World Health Organization because they said this wasn't something to worry about.

01:31:42.000 They said it was contained in China.

01:31:44.000 The CDC said, no, no, no, no, no, private industry, you can't step up with the tests. 0.99

01:31:47.000 And now we have a two-minute at-home test.

01:31:49.000 And the FDA is still stopping them from reducing 160,000 a day, capping it at 100,000.

01:31:54.000 So private industry could have moved quickly.

01:31:57.000 They were stopped proactively by the bureaucracy we see in the government.

01:32:02.000 I gotta, you know what I say?

01:32:03.000 I agree with you, and then I say, but you know what?

01:32:05.000 I'll still give 90% of the blame to China, or more. 1.00

01:32:08.000 They lied, they downplayed this, they withheld information, and the World Health Organization was just ponying up and pushing their propaganda.

01:32:14.000 Like that video of the doctor shutting the Skype off when he gets asked about Taiwan, it's despicable.

01:32:19.000 Can you explain for people who don't know, since you're a quarter Asian, my lawyers talked about this, for people who don't understand the sort of rivalry, I guess you would say, the history between Taiwan and China.

01:32:29.000 I mean, it makes Argentina-Brazil soccer pale in comparison.

01:32:33.000 So the fact that, it's one of two things.

01:32:36.000 The World Health Organization is either so tone deaf they have no idea as to what it is you're about to educate us on with Taiwan and China, or they proactively try to hold Taiwan away from the talks and conversation.

01:32:50.000 Well, I can't give you the full history.

01:32:51.000 I'm not, you know, a Taiwanese scholar or anything, but essentially Taiwan... You're a quarter Asian. 0.83

01:32:56.000 You should know something.

01:32:57.000 You eat red bean ice cream.

01:32:58.000 Give me something, Tim.

01:32:59.000 I'm tired.

01:33:00.000 Taiwan views themselves as independent from China.

01:33:04.000 China does not agree.

01:33:05.000 There's been a major international conflict.

01:33:07.000 So, when Hong Kong, a Hong Kong reporter asked the doctor from the World Health Organization, how does he view, you know, Taiwanese membership into the World Health Organization, he just ignores her entirely.

01:33:18.000 This is completely towing the line for China.

01:33:21.000 You know, most people in the U.S.

01:33:22.000 respect Taiwan, or I assume, Taiwan's independence.

01:33:25.000 We call them Taiwan, not China.

01:33:27.000 And people in Hong Kong recognize this as well.

01:33:29.000 So it's similar to like the South China Sea.

01:33:32.000 If you are a pro-China shill, you'll be like, that's China, and you'll put it in your movies, and you'll do what they do, you know, the NBA players. 0.72

01:33:39.000 And if you're not pro-China, and oppose the horrifying things they do to the Uighur Muslims in the camps, and the repression in Hong Kong, you'll easily point out the people of Taiwan want nothing to do with them.

01:33:50.000 Yeah, the World Health Organization is towing the line, it would seem.

01:33:53.000 So how can we trust them?

01:33:55.000 Exactly, and the silver lining is here, when you look at the Young Turks, and you look at all these leftists, and I know that you're more left on the idea of some sort of socialized health care plan, or more so, or universal, some component to it. 0.61

01:34:08.000 I don't want to misrepresent you, but I know we differ on that.

01:34:10.000 However, the argument has always been made that, well, actually, we have worse health care, we're ranked 36.

01:34:15.000 Well, we're ranked right next to Slovenia, and we are, you know who's ranked number two?

01:34:18.000 Italy.

01:34:19.000 Spain is ranked number seven.

01:34:20.000 So right now that ranking system, which is based primarily on subjective polling, are you satisfied with your health care from the World Health Organization, is no longer valid.

01:34:29.000 The left can never point to it.

01:34:31.000 The only other one they can point to is the Commonwealth study that involved 11 countries and had us ranked 11th and the UK number one.

01:34:37.000 How's that working out for them?

01:34:38.000 So hopefully people are at least opening their eyes now going, wait, hold on a second.

01:34:42.000 Yeah, the CDC and FDA really were slow and mucked this up.

01:34:46.000 In private industry, even the MyPillow rapist-looking guy is stepping in to pick up their slack.

01:34:51.000 Here's something I want to talk with you about, though, Tim, because you know this probably better than anybody, and I'm not just blowing smoke, the media bias and the algorithms, obviously, that happen across social media.

01:35:02.000 A big one of these, obviously, was Laura Ingraham.

01:35:05.000 She put out a tweet talking about chloroquine, I believe, if I'm not mistaken.

01:35:09.000 Yeah.

01:35:10.000 Touting it as a treatment.

01:35:11.000 And not saying cure, by the way.

01:35:12.000 Talking about it as a treatment.

01:35:13.000 There's a difference between a cure and therapeutics.

01:35:16.000 And we've talked about that on this show.

01:35:17.000 Notice that our videos were drastically throttled.

01:35:20.000 They had no reach.

01:35:22.000 This was removed from Twitter as misleading information.

01:35:25.000 Now it's been approved by the FDA as emergency treatment.

01:35:29.000 Is it?

01:35:30.000 And I know there's a little bit more nuance there, and I want you to describe Is there a worry here that the people who are inputting these algorithms, there's so much selection bias before the algorithms go out to, uh, you know, to go out to piranha, piranhas.

01:35:42.000 That's a new verb.

01:35:43.000 Uh, the news.

01:35:44.000 I think we're facing, it's going to, it's, we're going to see our civil liberties hit really, really hard because of this.

01:35:51.000 To talk specifically about the Laura Ingraham thing, she said that there was a doctor in Lenox Hill that was using it, and I believe that was incorrect.

01:36:00.000 I couldn't find anything to verify that.

01:36:01.000 There had been several statements from a doctor in Lenox Hill that was touting the potential for it in previous studies.

01:36:07.000 From what I understand, he was a practicing physician who had something like admission privileges.

01:36:14.000 In other words, he wasn't a full-time staff at Lenox Hill, but he did work at Lenox Hill in some capacity.

01:36:19.000 Yes.

01:36:20.000 So they win on a technically the truth.

01:36:23.000 You know, Trump comes out and says hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin is very promising.

01:36:29.000 He says it might work, it might not.

01:36:31.000 I'm very hopeful.

01:36:33.000 The media tears him apart, blames him for a guy, you know, putting a spoonful of fish tank cleaner in his soda.

01:36:37.000 Meanwhile, Andrew Cuomo says the same thing they completely ignored.

01:36:39.000 By the way, you know that wife killed that husband with the fish tank cleaner? 0.89

01:36:42.000 She's the new Carole Baskin.

01:36:43.000 We can get into that.

01:36:46.000 She's a huge Democratic donor and was looking to try and divorce the guy. 1.00

01:36:50.000 And then all of a sudden he drank the fish tank cleaner and she didn't.

01:36:53.000 It's speculation, by the way.

01:36:54.000 Don't label this fake news.

01:36:55.000 But I'm doing a deep dive.

01:36:56.000 I'm spiraling.

01:36:57.000 When I get tired, I spiral.

01:36:58.000 Tim, continue.

01:36:59.000 Take the reins or I'm gonna mess this up.

01:37:02.000 Um, what were we talking about?

01:37:03.000 Ah, so the social media, that's right.

01:37:05.000 I just, I saw that post from James O'Keefe.

01:37:08.000 Facebook took down his video where he was literally just filming going to New Rochelle to get a test.

01:37:13.000 Yeah.

01:37:14.000 Like this is, this is the new normal.

01:37:15.000 There's a, there's a progressive commentator, Pal Kalinsky.

01:37:18.000 I think he's a good dude.

01:37:19.000 And he tweeted that there's not going to be a back to normal.

01:37:22.000 We're going to see a pre and post COVID thing, just like we do with 9-11.

01:37:26.000 Yeah.

01:37:26.000 And I, and I think so.

01:37:28.000 And, and we're seeing major corporations justify Censoring people on social media like Laura Ingraham and the President of Brazil without question.

01:37:36.000 You know, they say, we'll label it misleading.

01:37:38.000 Heads of state are gone.

01:37:38.000 They don't care.

01:37:40.000 You know, high-profile pundits, you're gone if you don't say what they want you to say.

01:37:44.000 And what's scary is, what's the real criticism of James O'Keefe's going and filming what people think?

01:37:49.000 He went to a testing site.

01:37:52.000 That, to me, was insane.

01:37:53.000 And to see these journalists cheering for it.

01:37:57.000 He asked a frontline guy, like, how do you feel?

01:38:00.000 I used to do that all the time when I would go down to Egypt or Ukraine and cover stuff on the ground.

01:38:04.000 I'd walk up to a guy and say, what's happening?

01:38:05.000 How do you feel?

01:38:06.000 And that's journalism to them.

01:38:07.000 But if it counters their narrative or goes against their machine, So what we're seeing now is... Can you hold that thought one second here?

01:38:15.000 And I really appreciate bringing that up.

01:38:16.000 And yeah, I am familiar, I think, with Kyle Kalinske.

01:38:18.000 He was the one who didn't want to debate a long time ago when we were a much smaller channel.

01:38:22.000 But hopefully, listen, I appreciate that I think someone like him and I would disagree, but he's being straightforward about this.

01:38:27.000 And hopefully he never uses the World Health Care Organization's rankings again or that Commonwealth study.

01:38:31.000 We'll see.

01:38:32.000 For those who are watching right now, everything is in front of the paywall because hashtag Mug Club quarantine.

01:38:36.000 This is the time where we would leave, go to break, and say, hey, go to Mug Club, go to the Blaze TV for Web Extended.

01:38:43.000 But instead, right now, you get to see all of it.

01:38:45.000 So Indian color bars!

01:38:47.000 And we're back here with Tim Poole.

01:38:49.000 OK, Tim, continue what you were talking about with the journalism.

01:38:53.000 So, well, where specifically were we?

01:38:54.000 I got distracted.

01:38:55.000 I don't know.

01:38:55.000 Here's what I wanted to ask you.

01:38:57.000 Yeah.

01:38:57.000 By the way, she totally killed her husband with the fish tank later.

01:39:01.000 James O'Keefe.

01:39:01.000 We're talking about James.

01:39:02.000 James O'Keefe, yes.

01:39:04.000 Essentially, we're seeing, for one, major corporations are justifying taking things down.

01:39:10.000 Kara Swisher for the New York Times writes this op-ed saying Fox News is dangerous, you know, campaign.

01:39:15.000 And it's scary to me that there are people who will read this not realizing that it was the Washington Post, USA Today, and all these other news outlets that were saying the exact same thing.

01:39:23.000 Yeah.

01:39:24.000 A weird thing happened where, you know, early on a lot of conservatives were in front of this.

01:39:29.000 Tom Cotton, especially, he's always been in front of this.

01:39:31.000 And Fox News was.

01:39:33.000 But then once the media latched onto it, it seems like there was this weird tribal thing that happened.

01:39:37.000 The left didn't want to concede that the conservatives were right and beat them to calling this out because Tom Cotton was right.

01:39:42.000 Facebook was apparently taking down his statements in the Senate.

01:39:47.000 Let me give you a straighter path to an explanation here, okay?

01:39:51.000 They're communists and communist sympathizers.

01:39:53.000 And I only say this because they were—no, no, no, think about this for a second.

01:39:56.000 This sounds extreme.

01:39:57.000 They were complicit in parroting the Qaikom line, right, that we have it contained, it's taken care of, don't worry about it. 1.00

01:40:05.000 So when that was what they were saying, the media went out and said, it's fine, don't worry about it, like you say from Washington Post.

01:40:10.000 Then, when the Chinese government said, actually, we have it contained, and it may have come from the American government, and it's your fault, guess what? 0.86

01:40:18.000 They pair to that same line.

01:40:20.000 So if you want to look at consistency, they might as well be walking out with the Chinese communist government's handbook.

01:40:27.000 Here's what's amazing.

01:40:29.000 Twitter thinks it's unacceptable that Laura Ingraham put out a tweet about hydroxychloroquine, but they find it acceptable that a Chinese official tweeted several times that it was the U.S.

01:40:38.000 military doing it.

01:40:38.000 Yeah, the foreign minister.

01:40:40.000 Yeah, the foreign minister.

01:40:41.000 Yeah, and he was also, by the way, editing clips out of context, where it was some, I don't have it in front of me, there was some kind of a Senate hearing, I don't remember, but they were interviewing doctors, and the doctor was saying that, yes, there were likely some coronavirus Cases before March.

01:40:57.000 And they were saying, see?

01:40:58.000 It started in the United States and it was covered up by the military.

01:41:02.000 It's the kind of thing they would have banned Alex Jones for a long time ago.

01:41:07.000 Here's something else I'd like to ask you, because we noticed this in the first week.

01:41:11.000 When the coronavirus, when the COVID, Wu flu, Chinese virus, whatever people want to call it.

01:41:14.000 I don't care.

01:41:15.000 Let's use everything that offends everybody here.

01:41:18.000 We noticed that nothing we put up that related to coronavirus was getting any plays for the first week.

01:41:23.000 I mean, about less than a tenth of every other video that we were uploading, you know, in the months prior.

01:41:30.000 And then all of a sudden, I think maybe last week, it was a and people started saying notifications were back in.

01:41:36.000 And did you see any of that with your channel?

01:41:41.000 No, they, they, well, I didn't cover this as it was rising throughout February because I was told straight up that it's I wouldn't just be suppressed like what when I tried talking about certain issues related foreign policy I got a hard notification that I was discussed like I did a video about Trump's approval rating and they called it terrorism related and so I was told in no uncertain terms.

01:42:01.000 They also attributed they also said that change my mind there was a change my mind male privilege is a myth.

01:42:01.000 How is that?

01:42:06.000 They said that was election meddling.

01:42:06.000 Yeah.

01:42:09.000 Right.

01:42:09.000 So yeah.

01:42:10.000 You know what I think?

01:42:11.000 I think some there's people who work there who try and There's incompetence, there's malice, and then eventually I get these things overturned.

01:42:20.000 But when I, so on my second channel, the TimCast News one, I have no problem talking about this other than I have a wall of confirmed demonetizations.

01:42:28.000 And the views were, I would say, down like 15 or 20%.

01:42:31.000 Okay.

01:42:32.000 But I don't, you know, I don't know how to describe it.

01:42:35.000 I think people go to my second channel, I call it my second channel, they don't, you're not searching for specific information about it.

01:42:41.000 So it doesn't matter if they hard suppress it to a certain degree.

01:42:44.000 Right.

01:42:45.000 My flagship channel, the main one where I do the one segment, I tried to do a video on it, and then I get a notification saying, war, conflict, tragedy, terrorism.

01:42:53.000 And when that happens, I get maybe like two to three percent of normal viewership.

01:42:53.000 Right.

01:42:58.000 So I had no choice.

01:42:59.000 I'm like, there's no point in even uploading it.

01:43:02.000 So I just take it down, I put up a different video.

01:43:03.000 And you did that with something coronavirus related?

01:43:06.000 You had that notification?

01:43:07.000 Totally.

01:43:07.000 Okay.

01:43:07.000 So maybe that could be it, and my inbox is just so flooded right now that I just didn't catch it where I was going like, oh my gosh.

01:43:12.000 And you know what?

01:43:13.000 Sorry, go ahead.

01:43:14.000 Do you have the self-certification thing on YouTube?

01:43:17.000 I don't self-certify.

01:43:18.000 I'm married now.

01:43:20.000 Ah, yes.

01:43:21.000 But no, there's a new program they launched, and maybe I'm just being callous, not real.

01:43:21.000 Well, then.

01:43:26.000 I don't know if you guys got monetized back or whatever, but they want me to- F*** you, Tim Pool. 0.99

01:43:31.000 I'm f***ing you hard. 0.99

01:43:34.000 Let me just- No, we're not re-monetized! 0.98

01:43:37.000 Okay!

01:43:38.000 You pulled it out of me!

01:43:42.000 Well, to be delicate, I have this thing where they tell me I have to tell them what's in it.

01:43:50.000 And so when I made a video about this, on January 23rd, I made a video about this because China was locking things down and it was alarming.

01:43:57.000 Not a partisan American politics thing I thought was important.

01:44:00.000 And they said it was fine.

01:44:02.000 They asked me, does it contain any of these things?

01:44:04.000 Hate speech, firearms, booze, whatever.

01:44:07.000 None of these things.

01:44:08.000 No war-related, not terror-related.

01:44:09.000 They said, you're good to go.

01:44:12.000 They manually review every video I do, no matter what, whether it's monetized or demonetized.

01:44:16.000 A week later, they reversed that and gave me a flag striking the video, confirming it demonetized and suppressing it for the next, I think, up until like a week, like three or four days ago.

01:44:28.000 Wow.

01:44:29.000 They finally agreed to overturn it.

01:44:31.000 Because what they told me was, we've accepted the reality of the coronavirus.

01:44:31.000 OK.

01:44:34.000 We're now going to let you talk about it.

01:44:36.000 And I was like, wow, think about how many people could have been warned if you didn't suppress my content.

01:44:40.000 And this is a perfect example of the media wins on a technicality in getting Laura Ingraham's tweet taken down because the Lenox Hill doctor is not technically on retainer at Lenox Hill.

01:44:40.000 Right.

01:44:50.000 He just has, I think, outpatient privileges.

01:44:54.000 But we would say that maybe it would be a better win for the media if they actually educated the American public on a potential very efficient treatment that's been approved by the FDA.

01:45:05.000 It's almost like that should be more important for the media to try and focus on.

01:45:08.000 This is what I love.

01:45:09.000 Here's what they do.

01:45:11.000 What was it?

01:45:11.000 March 19th.

01:45:13.000 Tech crunch.

01:45:14.000 Hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin shows promising results.

01:45:18.000 Donald Trump comes out two days later.

01:45:19.000 I heard this story.

01:45:20.000 You hear this, it's amazing.

01:45:21.000 Donald Trump lies, pushes conspiracy.

01:45:23.000 It's like...

01:45:24.000 The media reports it.

01:45:25.000 Andrew Cuomo, March 6th.

01:45:26.000 Masks are being stolen.

01:45:28.000 Trump comes out a couple days ago.

01:45:29.000 Maybe the masks are being stolen.

01:45:30.000 Trump pushes conspiracies.

01:45:32.000 It's like, you guys reported this first!

01:45:34.000 They report it, Trump repeats it, then they call it a lie.

01:45:36.000 I just don't understand how they... Well, they're not getting away with it anymore.

01:45:40.000 People are starting to see through this, and Trump's approval rating is going up.

01:45:42.000 Well, and I really appreciate, genuinely, people like you are out there who I don't believe you were a Trump voter, or certainly you aren't a Trump occultist, and the fact that you are actually out there being objective.

01:45:52.000 When people talk about common ground, I always say, hey, listen, truth is more important than common ground.

01:45:55.000 For example, you and I disagree on some issues, but we can find common ground, as we do right now, without That's true though.

01:46:01.000 to agree. Final question I wanted to ask you about this because of the the quarter

01:46:05.000 Asian which by the way you fool people beautifully like you could go into an 1.00

01:46:08.000 Abercrombie ad just get yourself a spray tan and claim any ethnicity it's

01:46:13.000 wonderful. Right. That's true though. It is true I don't have that. No no no I'll briefly

01:46:18.000 mention I was in Egypt and the people there thought I was Egyptian. Sure.

01:46:22.000 I go to Mexico, they think I'm Spanish.

01:46:24.000 I'm ambiguous.

01:46:26.000 I can sort of blend in anywhere.

01:46:28.000 And you can go in with white people, and they don't care. 0.89

01:46:29.000 They're like, oh, it's Tim, as I was saying.

01:46:34.000 Do you think that the FDA did the right thing in refusing the masks from China, knowing what we know now?

01:46:38.000 because that was another thing that was covered by the media as a huge...

01:46:41.000 Probably, you know, I've been hearing stories that we get tons of goods from them that's

01:46:45.000 contaminated with a ton of really nasty stuff that we have to reject all the time.

01:46:48.000 Right.

01:46:49.000 And, you know, I guess it's a tough call.

01:46:51.000 If 10% work, is it worth taking them?

01:46:53.000 I don't know, probably not.

01:46:54.000 They're trying to exploit the situation for economic gain.

01:46:58.000 They've been lying to us and it's about time we bring all the manufacturing back here.

01:47:01.000 And you know, when it comes to the idea of being objective, that's what people like to say.

01:47:05.000 And I'm like, like you said, the truth is more important.

01:47:08.000 Trump was right about China and manufacturing and all that.

01:47:11.000 And if we had listened and moved much more quickly in the past few years, we wouldn't be strained for medical supplies.

01:47:16.000 That's just a fact.

01:47:17.000 No, I think you're absolutely right.

01:47:19.000 Mr. Poole, in closing, what would you want people to see as a silver lining in all of this?

01:47:25.000 Where should they look to, or what do you think is hopeful in this scenario?

01:47:27.000 Because a lot of people see it as looking bleak.

01:47:31.000 I hate to point out positives in a bleak situation in certain circumstances, but it should be said that I think this will help make us stronger.

01:47:39.000 I think we bring manufacturing back, we have better border security, we take very seriously the need for Just community and working together and fighting together.

01:47:49.000 We're now saying something incredible.

01:47:50.000 We're deprioritizing the BS, you know, in economics, like celebrities are being mocked and ridiculed by, you know, across the board.

01:47:58.000 And doctors and nurses, truck drivers are being championed.

01:48:01.000 These jobs that are actually important for all of us.

01:48:03.000 So, you know what I've been saying is that a lot of these social justice fantasies You know, like people saying it's violence to call me a name.

01:48:12.000 It's all now being erased when people realize it was only possible to say those things because you lived in a safety bubble.

01:48:18.000 Now that we have a real threat, all of that stuff is starting to disappear because it's not relevant and none of it was true in the first place.

01:48:24.000 So that's a silver lining.

01:48:25.000 We'll get people back to responsibility and, you know, independence, individuality, I think, but also I mean, I think that's a silver lining, and I think a very uncomfortable truth is that people are realizing that folks who many Americans thought had their best interests at heart genuinely don't.

01:48:47.000 I hate that this is what has been required to wake up some folks, but I think you see

01:48:51.000 it pretty clear with the stark contrast in the second Donald Trump is able to speak directly

01:48:57.000 to the American people with his briefings, his approval ratings go up, in record time

01:49:02.000 by the way, and so immediately the networks stop airing it.

01:49:05.000 To me, most people go, okay, you know what?

01:49:08.000 I don't even like the guy, but he still is the president right now.

01:49:11.000 When you guys said this is the worst pandemic of our lifetime, we should probably hear from the president and, of course, his cabinet and medical specialists who are up there.

01:49:20.000 Did you see that Rose Garden interaction where, I think it was a CNN journalist, says, you said I want to be appreciated and then not to call people, and Trump says read the whole quote.

01:49:29.000 I see this stuff all the time.

01:49:31.000 I'm used to it.

01:49:32.000 But I was still shocked by what the actual quote was.

01:49:34.000 Trump saying, I'm not talking about me.

01:49:36.000 I'm talking about the administration and the people working hard.

01:49:39.000 I'm like, yes, they should be.

01:49:39.000 And the media cut that out.

01:49:42.000 And you know, that's really hard for Trump to say, so it makes him even madder.

01:49:45.000 You know him saying, I'm not saying it's about me and talking about them and them and them.

01:49:51.000 And then he's like, and you still don't give me credit?

01:49:54.000 Same exact thing we were talking about.

01:49:55.000 We said, it's amazing to me that we're throwing away these masks.

01:50:00.000 We should have ways to sanitize. 0.61

01:50:01.000 We have very, and this is where he sounds like a buffoon, fine liquids.

01:50:05.000 What he means is we have a sanitization process, which we now know, by the way, could make up to 400,000 masks a day, reusable 20 times.

01:50:14.000 Recycling. 0.91

01:50:15.000 This is something that should be championed by the fat lesbians at Buzzfeed on YouTube's homepage immediately. 1.00

01:50:22.000 Immediately! 0.99

01:50:23.000 Recycling masks!

01:50:24.000 Listen, it's not conservative or liberal to point out that there's a potential treatment or masks can be reused.

01:50:31.000 And this is what I think a lot of the tribalists left don't like about me or why they'd accuse me of being conservative.

01:50:36.000 It's like, hey, the American people really like what Donald Trump is doing, what he's saying.

01:50:40.000 And they're like, well, only a Trump supporter would say good things about him.

01:50:43.000 No, if the polls are showing it.

01:50:44.000 Donald Trump lied about masks theft.

01:50:46.000 I'm like, Well, Andrew Cuomo said it too.

01:50:48.000 It's not a conservative position to call out mask theft.

01:50:52.000 No one's arguing policy in these stories.

01:50:54.000 It's tribalism.

01:50:55.000 To them, it's not about whether you agree with social policy or not.

01:50:58.000 It's whether or not you're on my team. 0.96

01:50:59.000 Yes, but it is a liberal position for Cuomo to be governor with nipple barbells. 0.92

01:51:05.000 So the channel is Tim Pool.

01:51:08.000 There's TimCast and then TimCastNews on the Twitter, for as long as is allowable, at TimCast.

01:54:43.000 Looking at the clock because I just don't care anymore.

01:54:46.000 It's been a long week.

01:54:47.000 Thank you, Tim Hole.

01:54:48.000 You guys saw the web extended.

01:54:50.000 And of course, a lot of these things are just...

01:54:53.000 They're always behind the paywall for people who are not mug clubbers. 0.91

01:54:55.000 That's what we're offering.

01:54:56.000 Literally most of the time.

01:54:57.000 My headphones got loud all of a sudden.

01:54:58.000 OK, now I have them perfectly.

01:54:59.000 And I really am great.

01:55:01.000 We were talking about this.

01:55:02.000 If people are losing their jobs and $5 million for unemployment.

01:55:05.000 It's pretty rough out there.

01:55:07.000 Having to up the workload really isn't all that much skin off my nose.

01:55:11.000 But I looked at the clock, and I can't believe it's still today.

01:55:14.000 It's one of those.

01:55:18.000 Technically, it's only April 2nd.

01:55:19.000 Thursday?

01:55:21.000 It's not a Friday?

01:55:22.000 It feels... I don't want to say it feels like a Friday.

01:55:25.000 It feels like I wish it were a Friday.

01:55:32.000 And the thing is, you guys get to watch and spend time with us, but I don't get to see you, right?

01:55:37.000 So you watch, but we don't see you.

01:55:40.000 I mean, right now, you should put a sticky note on that, but I don't get to see all of you, and so it's just sort of like, you know, we're doing twice the workload and just hoping it works.

01:55:50.000 You have any idea how many hours put in that yellow submarine?

01:55:53.000 Maybe.

01:55:54.000 We don't know. 1.00

01:55:54.000 Crap. 1.00

01:55:56.000 I have no idea. 1.00

01:55:59.000 But we have a lot next week.

01:56:00.000 I believe we have a bunch of guests.

01:56:02.000 Of course, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, we're doing Good Morning Mug Club Live, where you can chat with us every morning, 10 a.m.

01:56:08.000 Eastern, and then we have clips on YouTube every night if you're not interested in the $30 off quarantine code for Mug Club.

01:56:14.000 But that is what will keep us afloat during and after this.

01:56:18.000 As a matter of fact, unfortunately, some conservative organizations out there You've probably been reading some of the news.

01:56:23.000 They've been laying some people off, and I hope that that bounces back, but that's because a lot of people are dependent on ad revenue out there right now, and particularly with like Google AdSense or websites.

01:56:34.000 The problem with that is a lot of those businesses are smaller businesses running ads, and they can't afford it.

01:56:37.000 The first thing they cut off is advertising, and we're primarily funded by viewers like you.

01:56:44.000 You guys get this wonderful mug, and you don't have to support a foreign caliphate.

01:56:48.000 We will see you next week.

01:56:49.000 It's going all month, Mug Club quarantine.

01:56:51.000 But, you know, I wanted to talk about something.

01:56:52.000 I just kind of touched on this with Tim Poole a little bit.

01:56:55.000 And Tim Poole and I have talked off-air, full disclosure.

01:56:58.000 We're not part of some secret cabal.

01:56:59.000 We just, every now and then, he's like, hey, did you hear this?

01:57:01.000 I'm like, no, I didn't hear that.

01:57:02.000 Did you hear this?

01:57:02.000 He goes, no.

01:57:03.000 We say, okay, all right, I'll talk to you about it next week.

01:57:05.000 That's about it.

01:57:06.000 We're not wearing pointy hats.

01:57:11.000 There are no owls involved, nothing like that.

01:57:14.000 No burning anything in effigy.

01:57:16.000 We disagree on a whole lot politically.

01:57:19.000 He's not one of those guys who's really conservative but trying to claim that he's still liberal.

01:57:23.000 He's really not a conservative, which I appreciate.

01:57:26.000 We find common ground.

01:57:28.000 I was wondering, when people talk about the political division, They're not really complaining about political division, because that has existed always, pretty much.

01:57:38.000 You can go back and watch films from the 50s, 60s, 70s, where they say, oh, Republican, Democrat, they kind of rib each other.

01:57:44.000 People have divided along ideological lines since the beginning of time.

01:57:48.000 In the United States, Republican, Democrat, since we have a two-party system, that's kind of an important way, because you're signing on to a platform.

01:57:55.000 That being said, You can find common ground without meeting in the middle.

01:58:01.000 That's something that I think people get wrong.

01:58:02.000 It doesn't mean that, oh, we're going to compromise and meet in the middle.

01:58:05.000 No, no.

01:58:06.000 You can be a conservative, a hardline conservative, and you can be a far left liberal, and you

01:58:12.000 find common ground without agreeing on anything political.

01:58:18.000 And what does that mean when we're talking about common ground?

01:58:19.000 It's because really what you're finding common ground with should be principles or moral

01:58:25.000 through lines that we share.

01:58:28.000 In other words, the idea of freedom over the individual, freedom of the individual, sorry,

01:58:33.000 over the collective, or the idea that, for example, families will look out for themselves

01:58:39.000 before they look out for some foreign country or entity.

01:58:42.000 Or the idea that a country that allows people to be free and ended slavery, that's a better thing than a country that still employs slavery, because not all moral outlooks on the world are equivalent.

01:58:53.000 These are moral throughlines that Democrats and Republicans at one point shared, even though they disagreed wildly on tax policy, foreign policy, and even abortion.

01:59:05.000 Why is it so hard to do right now?

01:59:07.000 Here's why.

01:59:08.000 Because the basis of finding common ground, and it can be the only basis, it has to be founded on truth.

01:59:16.000 You have to come to some kind of agreement as to what the truth is.

01:59:21.000 And that's not what's happening right now.

01:59:23.000 That's why you have a media that refuses to run press conferences, and then cherry-pick information from those press conferences, and then present it.

01:59:31.000 This is amazing!

01:59:31.000 I was reading it this morning.

01:59:32.000 I was reading a story.

01:59:33.000 I don't remember where it was.

01:59:35.000 And I'm going, hold on a second.

01:59:36.000 They're saying that Donald Trump is running press conferences to try and downplay coronavirus, and then they cite the 100,000 to 200,000 deaths from Birx, and they got that number from the press conference!

01:59:49.000 When Donald Trump said, okay, doctor, you want to go ahead and tell them?

01:59:51.000 And then they go, Donald Trump doesn't want to acknowledge this.

01:59:53.000 Well, hold on a second.

01:59:54.000 That's why they don't want to run these. 0.85

01:59:59.000 Because I don't want us to find common ground on truth.

02:00:02.000 There's a silver lining in this right now.

02:00:04.000 There should be a silver lining that we could come together like we did after 9-11, right?

02:00:09.000 All Americans, hand in hand.

02:00:10.000 Not we are the world, but we are America against an invisible enemy.

02:00:13.000 And you know what?

02:00:14.000 When that happens, when you're going to war, and I've heard people describe this as a war against an invisible adversary, when you're going into battle, you do need to recognize the victories.

02:00:26.000 That matters.

02:00:26.000 You've heard of the term morale?

02:00:27.000 That's important.

02:00:29.000 It's important for a leader.

02:00:31.000 And obviously Donald Trump is a president and a leader, and that's why he's tried to focus on that.

02:00:34.000 And gosh, that's horrible.

02:00:35.000 We should shame the president for saying anything positive.

02:00:37.000 But you know who else was in a position of leadership?

02:00:38.000 It's not just the president.

02:00:39.000 It's not just Washington, D.C.

02:00:41.000 I've said this before.

02:00:42.000 If you were to take the power of Washington, D.C.

02:00:44.000 over the power of Hollywood and the media, you need a CAT scan.

02:00:48.000 They're in a position of leadership.

02:00:49.000 They don't want to talk about any of the victories.

02:00:54.000 Recyclable masks.

02:00:55.000 Hundreds of thousands.

02:00:57.000 Five-minute test!

02:00:57.000 Two-minute test!

02:00:58.000 At-home test!

02:01:00.000 Therapies!

02:01:01.000 Some places over 90% efficacy rate.

02:01:04.000 None of it?

02:01:06.000 And here's why.

02:01:07.000 We're trying to find a silver lining right now.

02:01:09.000 When we talk about common ground, here's why we can't find common ground.

02:01:12.000 And we don't need to budge on this.

02:01:14.000 We, meaning Americans, and I mean even Bernie voters, Americans who actually believe in the idea and concept of the United States of America.

02:01:21.000 And you know what?

02:01:22.000 Let's take it one step further.

02:01:23.000 Let's say you don't believe that the United States is the greatest country or even that good of a country.

02:01:27.000 You don't want to see it go away.

02:01:29.000 You just want to see Americans survive.

02:01:32.000 You just want Americans to have hope.

02:01:34.000 Well, guess what?

02:01:35.000 We can all find a silver lining there together in common ground, in the idea that we're making progress, in the idea that the mortality rates are going down as we increase testing, as we increase efficiency of testing, as we hopefully have more private industry step up, as we're able to use more masks, as we're able to sanitize more masks.

02:01:53.000 We can find common ground on that because there's common ground on a silver lining which is the truth.

02:02:01.000 But here's the thing.

02:02:04.000 If the silver lining is a lie, it's meaningless.

02:02:08.000 And unfortunately, right now, the silver lining that we have in the media, who should be looking out for the best interest of the American public, right?

02:02:15.000 That is their job.

02:02:17.000 The idea of, just the facts, that's the slogan from CNN, just the facts.

02:02:20.000 Well, just the facts would mean that you're looking out for the best interest of the American public.

02:02:23.000 That you want them to be able to make an informed decision.

02:02:26.000 But the truth is, the silver lining that they are looking for right now is a way to blame it on Republicans and the president after Russia and an impeachment didn't work and after parroting the communist Chinese government line verbatim didn't work.

02:02:42.000 So the silver lining that we're looking for as Americans is how are we going to come out of this?

02:02:46.000 How severe is it?

02:02:48.000 What kind of risk factor are we looking at?

02:02:50.000 What do we need to do with mom and dad and grandpa and grandma?

02:02:52.000 Oh, we're looking for a silver lining.

02:02:53.000 Well, that's good news.

02:02:55.000 Okay, here's some productive measures that we can take.

02:02:58.000 At that exact same time, the people we can't find common ground with, those in charge of the media entertainment industrial complex, are going, where's the silver lining here?

02:03:05.000 How do we blame Republicans and Trump and Christians?

02:03:10.000 And guess what?

02:03:11.000 We don't need to find common ground with those folks.

02:03:13.000 What we need to do is focus on finding common ground in the truth.

02:03:19.000 Otherwise, the silver lining means nothing because it's a lie.

02:03:26.000 I don't have anything productive to offer you as far as advice.

02:03:29.000 Read the news, fact check, say your prayers, and set a guard.

02:03:33.000 But there's a lot of good happening out there right now, and you're not going to hear of it if you're tuning into the main networks.

02:03:39.000 That's why we're here doubling the content for Mug Club Quarantine, and we're giving you a promo code $30 off.

02:03:45.000 Join if you want to support it.

02:03:46.000 If you don't, watch for free.

02:03:48.000 We appreciate you being there.

02:03:49.000 We hope that someday you do support us so we can be here for years to come finding silver linings.

02:03:54.000 See you next week!

02:03:54.000 Not next week!

02:03:55.000 See you tomorrow morning!

02:03:56.000 Oh god, it's still today!

02:03:58.000 And we have a tomorrow!

02:04:00.000 There's a tomorrow?
