00:00:20.000 being.

00:00:20.000 It's not your fault.

00:00:21.000 It's the man's fault.

00:00:22.000 It's not my responsibility.

00:00:24.000 A baby is not the mother's responsibility, baby.

00:00:27.000 I just want to make sure that I'm making the right decision, you know? 0.99

00:00:30.000 Because I'm so young, and I've got my whole life ahead of me, and I wasn't trying to do this, and it's stupid. 0.99

00:00:38.000 Yeah, baby, it's not your fault that you let a man in you. 0.99

00:00:41.000 So, I should go back to being selfish?

00:00:54.000 It doesn't cry. 0.99

00:00:55.000 I think it has Asperger's.

00:00:56.000 That's gonna be even more expensive.

00:00:58.000 Right.

00:00:59.000 Special schools?

00:01:02.000 You gotta get rid of it. 1.00

00:01:03.000 Just throw it in the stupid baby river. 1.00

00:01:05.000 Alright. 1.00

00:01:07.000 You're right.

00:01:08.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:01:11.000 I think he has Asperger's. 1.00

00:01:16.000 Just kick the baby. 1.00

00:01:19.000 Kick the baby basket. 1.00

00:01:23.000 See, puppy?

00:01:24.000 It's having a great time going down the river.

00:01:26.000 He's not even scared.

00:01:27.000 Right.

00:01:28.000 This was the right choice.

00:01:30.000 No, it was the right choice.

00:01:31.000 I wouldn't steer you wrong. 0.58

00:03:39.000 Bye.

00:03:41.000 That's called, I just realized that I forgot something, Sip, but... Hey, you got those eyedrops there, Vug?

00:03:47.000 Whenever I'm here in the studio, it's all bright and my eyes get all dry.

00:03:50.000 And then everyone thinks, he's on the cocaine!

00:03:52.000 The Colombian gold!

00:03:55.000 Nose candy! 1.00

00:03:56.000 But really, it's just drying lights.

00:03:58.000 So, we have a lot to get to today.

00:04:01.000 Russia, Ukraine, still going on.

00:04:02.000 Still?

00:04:03.000 Still going on.

00:04:05.000 I thought we were past this.

00:04:07.000 I thought Joe Biden's strong words helped.

00:04:08.000 You know what, Russia? 0.66

00:04:11.000 You have a lot of growing up to do, Russia. 0.74

00:04:12.000 I'll tell you that right now.

00:04:15.000 You have a lot of growing up to do.

00:04:19.000 You know what really hurts the most is the lack of respect, Dave.

00:04:22.000 Well, and the invasion.

00:04:23.000 Well, yeah, but what hurts the second most is the lack of respect.

00:04:26.000 Well, in the killings.

00:04:27.000 Yes.

00:04:28.000 What hurts the third most is a lack of respect.

00:04:30.000 Grow up, Russia. 1.00

00:04:31.000 And name that movie line for people right off the bat.

00:04:34.000 We have a lot to get to.

00:04:35.000 So, by the way, if we're never on YouTube, and we have no idea because they're never going after TikTok, we're talking about the CDC, we're talking about masks, we're talking about Russia, these things can become a problem.

00:04:44.000 We are live Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.

00:04:46.000 Eastern, on Rumble, or MugClub.

00:04:49.000 LettuceCrow.com slash MugClub.

00:04:50.000 We'll have an extra, like, 45 minutes to an hour today.

00:04:52.000 It's Chat Thursday, my favorite day of the week.

00:04:55.000 Let me introduce Gerald A. How are you?

00:04:57.000 I am well, sir.

00:04:57.000 How are you?

00:04:58.000 I was so tired yesterday after the stream.

00:05:00.000 Recovering from that is tough.

00:05:01.000 Well, it's because you don't sleep for hours.

00:05:03.000 You're amped.

00:05:04.000 Exactly.

00:05:04.000 That's why, like, Dave has a problem, you know, going from, like, when he's doing the gigs on the weekends back when he used to have to do more, like, you know, five shows in a weekend and then coming back to doing stuff in the morning.

00:05:14.000 You know, I thought he had narcolepsy for a while.

00:05:17.000 Asperger's?

00:05:18.000 No.

00:05:19.000 It was Moses.

00:05:20.000 Oh, wow.

00:05:20.000 Yeah, it was Moses.

00:05:22.000 You know him.

00:05:23.000 You love him.

00:05:23.000 Dave Landau, how are you?

00:05:24.000 Ahoy.

00:05:25.000 Good.

00:05:25.000 How about you?

00:05:25.000 Good.

00:05:26.000 Were you tired yesterday?

00:05:27.000 A little bit.

00:05:28.000 We came and did some stuff.

00:05:30.000 Yep.

00:05:30.000 We have some sketches that we're going to be showing you today.

00:05:33.000 Here's my question.

00:05:34.000 My question before anything else is, we'll be talking about Russia and now the censoring of Russian media.

00:05:38.000 You see this on Apple.

00:05:39.000 You see this on... Is it still called the App Store?

00:05:44.000 Because they switched iTunes to just Apple.

00:05:46.000 Well, it's App Store.

00:05:47.000 Okay, it's still the App Store.

00:05:50.000 Comment below.

00:05:51.000 That's the best thing, again, you can do for the YouTube algorithm, but it also helps us kind of get a good idea, because people are torn on this.

00:05:56.000 Do you support censoring the Russian media?

00:05:59.000 Do you think that's a good idea right now to try and squeeze them and get rid of Russian media on social platforms right now? 0.98

00:06:07.000 Or do you think that just ends up again driving them into the arms of people who could be more evil, creating the idea as maybe we want to revolt and dissent against the Russian government from the Russian people, but...

00:06:17.000 Does it just make them hate America more, like we've seen in the past?

00:06:20.000 So I think you know where I line up, but maybe you don't.

00:06:23.000 Before we move on to that, I think we'll also be talking about, by the way, I don't know if you know this, Sam Elliott joined the Westboro Baptist Church.

00:06:29.000 Did he?

00:06:29.000 Did he really?

00:06:30.000 Member number nine.

00:06:31.000 Yes, member number nine.

00:06:33.000 Handing out toe tags for certain types.

00:06:35.000 I'm the only one in this church that doesn't have flippers.

00:06:38.000 Oh boy.

00:06:39.000 So we'll be talking about Sam Elliott quite a bit.

00:06:41.000 I'm excited about that.

00:06:41.000 Also Russia, Ukraine.

00:06:42.000 But first, Pittsburgh.

00:06:45.000 Their Channel 4 Action News.

00:06:47.000 It proves, you know, because we're national.

00:06:50.000 Yeah.

00:06:50.000 This is a national show.

00:06:51.000 Yeah.

00:06:52.000 I call it international, really.

00:06:53.000 Yeah.

00:06:54.000 It's on the internets.

00:06:55.000 Yep.

00:06:56.000 And we have some fans in Japan until we get copied.

00:06:59.000 Do you realize every Colbert segment we do gets copyright struck and it's not available in Japan?

00:07:03.000 Really?

00:07:04.000 I don't know why.

00:07:04.000 Deprived.

00:07:06.000 I don't know why you cannot watch our segments on Stephen Colbert in Japan specifically.

00:07:10.000 I think it's Colbert they have a problem with and not so much us.

00:07:12.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:07:13.000 Oh, no?

00:07:14.000 They love Colbert.

00:07:15.000 Huge in Japan.

00:07:17.000 He has like a 90 million dollar contract with Centauri Times.

00:07:19.000 You can get his underwear out of a vending machine.

00:07:21.000 Yes, you can.

00:07:22.000 Yes, you can.

00:07:22.000 Right in Tokyo.

00:07:24.000 I want your panties with more intensity. 0.99

00:07:29.000 It's not clear what may have been taken and no arrests have been made.

00:07:40.000 A 71-year-old man is accused of inappropriately touching a 12-year-old girl at the Walmart in West Mifflin Sunday afternoon.

00:07:47.000 Not a joke!

00:07:48.000 The best is the other anchor.

00:07:50.000 Hold on a second.

00:07:53.000 I just want to make sure.

00:07:54.000 This is 100% real, Tocanowan?

00:07:56.000 This is real.

00:07:56.000 We're sure this is real?

00:07:57.000 It's on the internet.

00:07:58.000 It is real.

00:07:59.000 Must be real.

00:08:01.000 Total flub.

00:08:02.000 So is Putin riding a unicorn with a scythe.

00:08:04.000 Look, even if it's not real, it's funny.

00:08:06.000 Even if it's not real, it's also real.

00:08:09.000 Yes, exactly.

00:08:11.000 Alright, let's play this again because I want to see that guy's reaction.

00:08:15.000 It's worse than Boom Goes the Dynamite Kid.

00:08:17.000 It's really good.

00:08:18.000 It's not clear what may have been taken and no arrests have been made.

00:08:23.000 A 71 year old man is accused of an appropriate...

00:08:25.000 She has no idea.

00:08:26.000 12 year old girl at the Walmart in West Mifflin.

00:08:29.000 He's actually just glad it's not his picture.

00:08:36.000 Oh man, that was close.

00:08:39.000 It was a relief.

00:08:40.000 It's like when you think your report card is coming home and you accidentally get someone else's.

00:08:44.000 You're like, this is Shane Bramden.

00:08:45.000 I'm Sean Brumter.

00:08:46.000 Just bring it to my parents.

00:08:48.000 You just dodged a bullet.

00:08:50.000 That's a $20 bill right there.

00:08:52.000 Wow, she has no idea what's going on.

00:08:54.000 That's the problem with green screen.

00:08:57.000 You should have a monitor though, right?

00:08:59.000 Yeah, but it's not really her fault.

00:09:01.000 She's not controlling it.

00:09:02.000 It's still her fault.

00:09:02.000 Someone who's hilarious is.

00:09:04.000 She's on air and she has a picture of Joseph Biden.

00:09:08.000 I would have ran with it.

00:09:09.000 Hold on, time out.

00:09:10.000 If they fire you for that, call us.

00:09:13.000 Yes, call us.

00:09:15.000 We're not saying you'll be on air.

00:09:17.000 But call us.

00:09:18.000 But, you know, look, we need janitors too.

00:09:21.000 Well, she's run that burgundy. 1.00

00:09:23.000 Whatever's in front of her. 1.00

00:09:25.000 Go screw yourself, Pittsburgh. 1.00

00:09:28.000 Oh my gosh. 0.99

00:09:29.000 Yeah, that one was sent to us from our very own Bradigan, and it is real.

00:09:34.000 Wow.

00:09:34.000 Yep.

00:09:35.000 What is it, Keep It Trashy Pittsburgh? 0.94

00:09:36.000 Yeah, Keep It Trashy Pittsburgh.

00:09:37.000 I love Pittsburgh.

00:09:38.000 Squirrel Hill Pittsburgh.

00:09:39.000 All right.

00:09:41.000 Here's something else we have to talk about.

00:09:42.000 I don't know if you know this, but we all know that masks, of course... I shouldn't say I don't know if you know this.

00:09:48.000 We all know that masks are 1 billion percent effective against COVID.

00:09:51.000 Yes.

00:09:52.000 That's our percentage of particles.

00:09:57.000 Apparently now they're nuke-proof.

00:09:58.000 Oh really?

00:09:59.000 Did you know this?

00:10:00.000 I've heard.

00:10:00.000 Yeah.

00:10:01.000 Maybe?

00:10:01.000 From the CDC.

00:10:02.000 The new CDC guidelines encourage everyone to mask up in the event of a nuclear explosion.

00:10:08.000 It says, when you have reached a part of your household, if possible, wear a mask if you're sheltering with people who are not a part of your household.

00:10:16.000 So if there's a nuclear explosion occurring... This is the science, by the way, just to be clear.

00:10:23.000 Let me ask you this.

00:10:24.000 Do you think there's... We can't find one legitimate scientist outside the CDC who's like, oh yeah, your N95 is not gonna stop a nuke. 0.98

00:10:34.000 That's the dumbest thing I've heard. 0.97

00:10:35.000 I got bigger problems than if I have a mask on, fellas. 0.99

00:10:39.000 Yeah, you would think so, but this is more, to me, more so this highlights the idea of the science.

00:10:44.000 Well, yeah.

00:10:45.000 Where are the actual, there's not one doctor who will speak up?

00:10:48.000 I mean, are we at Sodom and Gomorrah with the science?

00:10:50.000 Like, are there not 10 good scientists left?

00:10:53.000 I think that's fair.

00:10:53.000 Is it Hiroshima?

00:10:54.000 I think a few people made it who were wearing masks.

00:10:57.000 Yes, only the masks.

00:10:58.000 If I recall correctly.

00:10:58.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:10:59.000 Just Rip Van Winkle came out with his N95.

00:11:01.000 Ooh, what happened here?

00:11:03.000 Seems they laid waste.

00:11:04.000 Oh, thank Lord for my cotton mask!

00:11:07.000 Something happened?

00:11:08.000 Thanks to heavens above that I had my neck gaiter!

00:11:12.000 My wife had triplets with one body. 1.00

00:11:15.000 And if this worked, then nukes are irrelevant!

00:11:18.000 Yeah, nukes are irrelevant.

00:11:20.000 We've been trying to figure out how to stop a nuclear holocaust. 0.94

00:11:23.000 We've been trying to figure out how to avoid nuclear war.

00:11:26.000 Just wear a few masks.

00:11:27.000 If a nuke goes off, we're all just done, right?

00:11:30.000 No, no, no.

00:11:30.000 Well, you would be, but not if you have a mask.

00:11:32.000 Not if you have a mask.

00:11:33.000 Oh, right.

00:11:33.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:11:34.000 It's almost as effective as getting under your table, people from the 50s who are still here. 0.97

00:11:38.000 Yeah.

00:11:38.000 Plywood'll take care of you.

00:11:39.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:11:41.000 That's all you need?

00:11:42.000 In the event of a nuke, just get under soft pine.

00:11:45.000 Yeah, that's all it takes.

00:11:48.000 It's not even a hard wood!

00:11:49.000 It's not even a fruit wood! 1.00

00:11:51.000 Stupid. 1.00

00:11:53.000 So we actually obtained footage from a PSA from the CDC, of course now the propaganda comes, giving instructions on how to stay safe. 1.00

00:12:01.000 You may be in your schoolyard playing when the signal comes.

00:12:05.000 That signal means to stop whatever you're doing and get to the nearest safe place fast.

00:12:11.000 If Putin aligns with China, an atomic bomb can come at any time, no matter where you may be. 0.61

00:12:18.000 If you're at school, get in a single fire line and crouch underneath a desk.

00:12:23.000 And if you're a smart kid, apply your mask.

00:12:27.000 Because a mask is the most important line of defense between you and nuclear annihilation

00:12:34.000 Good job alive kids!

00:12:59.000 Oh, oh, oh. 0.70

00:13:00.000 Bye, maskless dead ones.

00:13:06.000 It's like it all could have been stopped with just one trip over to the quick trip, grab a few masks.

00:13:10.000 Well, the kid had a pinwheel hat on.

00:13:12.000 How long was he going to live?

00:13:15.000 Maybe 19?

00:13:16.000 You'd still have your brother.

00:13:17.000 I know.

00:13:18.000 Well, it's his fault. 0.99

00:13:20.000 You have triplets, there's always one goofball. 0.99

00:13:24.000 Something about the placenta.

00:13:26.000 There's not enough to go around.

00:13:28.000 We like to think there is enough for everybody.

00:13:29.000 There isn't.

00:13:30.000 Triple number three.

00:13:31.000 Sorry.

00:13:32.000 There's one thing that I noticed when I watched that is I really missed dresses that ladies used to wear. 1.00

00:13:38.000 A little different?

00:13:38.000 Yeah, a little different.

00:13:39.000 What if they went above the ankle?

00:13:40.000 You got whacked with a ruler?

00:13:42.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:13:42.000 But that's the whole thing.

00:13:43.000 It leaves a little bit to the... You know how I like turtlenecks?

00:13:45.000 I like the dresses.

00:13:45.000 It leaves everything to the imagination.

00:13:47.000 It leaves everything to the imagination, which is usually better than reality.

00:13:52.000 I like a... What's the word? 0.99

00:13:53.000 Whore. 1.00

00:13:56.000 Well, I mean, I'm just saying, sooner or later, you'll want a professional. 0.99

00:14:00.000 Well, sure.

00:14:01.000 I mean, that one time, that was very suitable.

00:14:03.000 Yes.

00:14:03.000 Like, that's the one you bring home to your parents.

00:14:05.000 You're like, look at this.

00:14:06.000 Right. 0.58

00:14:06.000 This one that's not garbage. 0.58

00:14:08.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:14:09.000 She looks like garbage, but... Just don't look in the trunk. 1.00

00:14:12.000 Yep. 1.00

00:14:14.000 DeSantis, Ron DeSantis.

00:14:15.000 Here's one thing too, I just want to talk about it with Russia before we go in.

00:14:18.000 This is something that's been really bothering me, is you either need to be all in or all out with war.

00:14:23.000 And if you look at the actions that we're taking, we have the economic sanctions and now the censoring that's taking place of Russian media, and also other actions that will harm Russian citizens, we're basically We're basically committing acts of war without waging war.

00:14:39.000 Either go into war or don't.

00:14:41.000 This is a problem with modern society.

00:14:43.000 We're so removed from the cruelty of humanity.

00:14:46.000 We're so removed from the reality of war that we just think, oh, you know what?

00:14:49.000 If we starve people, if we make sure that economically they're crippled, they won't do it.

00:14:54.000 Do you realize that wars were fought for exactly that throughout history?

00:14:59.000 I know someone right there in the comments is going to look, oh, religion. 0.98

00:15:02.000 No, dummy. 0.98

00:15:03.000 No.

00:15:05.000 All wars are fought over land, over resources, over the ability to survive, and we're at this... Anyway, okay, we'll get to it.

00:15:11.000 We'll get to it, yeah.

00:15:12.000 I'm just frustrated.

00:15:13.000 I'm just angry.

00:15:13.000 You gotta take a breath.

00:15:14.000 I gotta take a breath.

00:15:15.000 Well, if you're gonna do something, you should go all in, especially with, I don't know, war? 0.99

00:15:19.000 I thought you said whores. 1.00

00:15:21.000 No. 0.99

00:15:21.000 So, Ron... Well, that would apply. 0.99

00:15:24.000 Yeah.

00:15:25.000 The point is, it's a multifaceted... Yeah.

00:15:27.000 I mean, if you're gonna pay for it.

00:15:29.000 Idiom.

00:15:30.000 Idiom?

00:15:30.000 It's your money's worth.

00:15:31.000 Zang! 0.98

00:15:31.000 I don't know. 0.98

00:15:32.000 I'd buy that for a dollar.

00:15:33.000 Yes.

00:15:35.000 To a bird in the hand and something in the trees. 0.99

00:15:37.000 The point is we're gonna nuke you.

00:15:38.000 So, Ron DeSantis, this is something too that I absolutely love.

00:15:42.000 He made news this week.

00:15:44.000 World of Masks News.

00:15:47.000 He was at an event, right?

00:15:49.000 Was it USF?

00:15:50.000 USF.

00:15:51.000 USF.

00:15:51.000 Okay.

00:15:52.000 So he was at this event.

00:15:53.000 I always forget the event.

00:15:54.000 I always forget the event names.

00:15:57.000 USF.

00:15:57.000 It's abbreviations.

00:15:58.000 I don't do well with it.

00:15:58.000 But I do know exactly what it is that he did.

00:16:01.000 And Thank God.

00:16:04.000 You know what?

00:16:04.000 I know he didn't come in first in the straw poll at CPAC, which is almost entirely irrelevant, but I want this guy in our corner.

00:16:13.000 See if you can tell why.

00:16:15.000 You do not have to wear those masks.

00:16:17.000 I mean, please take them off.

00:16:18.000 Honestly, it's not doing anything, and we've got to stop with this COVID theater. 0.85

00:16:22.000 So if you want to wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous. 0.95

00:16:25.000 Oh, baby! 0.97

00:16:28.000 Boom! 1.00

00:16:31.000 I love that he didn't, you know, sometimes you have people like, look, I just, you know, I think some people should wear masks and then just say, no, it's stupid. 1.00

00:16:38.000 It's stupid and you look stupid. 1.00

00:16:41.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:16:41.000 Well, these are University of South Florida, so USF South Florida, right? 1.00

00:16:44.000 So there are students sitting there and they're like, oh, you got to wear masks.

00:16:47.000 There was no nuke threat.

00:16:48.000 No, there was no desk to get under either.

00:16:50.000 Where's the plywood?

00:16:51.000 Well, I don't know.

00:16:51.000 I'm sure some interns.

00:16:53.000 You can get under a podium.

00:16:54.000 Yeah.

00:16:55.000 I've done it.

00:16:55.000 I've seen Police Academy.

00:16:57.000 That's a podium for one, Dave. 0.96

00:16:59.000 Selfish.

00:17:00.000 He's missing the point.

00:17:01.000 Yeah, you find the most important guy in the room and he gets under the podium.

00:17:04.000 Yes.

00:17:05.000 That's who lives.

00:17:06.000 Then you become Kamala Harris.

00:17:09.000 The most important man in the room.

00:17:11.000 We'll talk about the science, we'll talk about some of the new updates that have taken place, but what's funny is most of the kids obviously you saw were stoked, they were excited, probably because they've read the science, or the anti-science, however you want to refer to it.

00:17:22.000 But there still was one mom who apparently hasn't gotten the memo, and this is the problem with the country right now.

00:17:29.000 When people say, oh, we're divided ideologically.

00:17:31.000 No, we're not divided ideologically.

00:17:33.000 We really are at this point divided by the informed and the dogmatic.

00:17:37.000 That's where we are on COVID, the informed and the dogmatic.

00:17:41.000 And here is a dogmatic mother who was just beside herself. 0.99

00:17:46.000 I'm responsible for him.

00:17:47.000 And I told him to wear that mask.

00:17:50.000 And Governor DeSantis, he's looking at this adult authority and he's telling them, oh, you don't have to wear the mask.

00:17:56.000 What was your reaction when you heard the governor tell you and your classmates, remove your masks?

00:18:01.000 Um, a bit of surprise and shock.

00:18:03.000 More of, okay, this authority figure is asking me to do something that I know is probably going to end up being controversial. 0.99

00:18:11.000 He has to answer that way because she'll beat his ass as soon as the camera stops rolling. 1.00

00:18:15.000 She knows she's not wearing a mask. 1.00

00:18:19.000 Take off your mask. 1.00

00:18:20.000 He pretty much said take off your mask is stupid. 1.00

00:18:22.000 And take off your mask, your parents don't matter. 1.00

00:18:24.000 Correct.

00:18:24.000 Even though I'm telling you parents matter.

00:18:27.000 And he's telling my minor child to take off his mask?

00:18:30.000 He's putting us at risk?

00:18:32.000 Oh lord.

00:18:32.000 So, oh yeah, I was upset.

00:18:35.000 Very upset.

00:18:36.000 Yeah, well I think that you just live to be... I wish that I loved anything as much as you love being upset.

00:18:43.000 You never will.

00:18:44.000 You'll never have a hobby like that.

00:18:46.000 She's like Jamie Foxx with a violin in that movie with Robert Downey Jr.

00:18:52.000 She lives to be upset. 1.00

00:18:54.000 Everything she just said, not to mention she was redundant with, my minor child will we get it.

00:19:00.000 But she is sitting there saying, you know, it's wrong and is saying that you shouldn't wear masks and we're putting us at risk.

00:19:05.000 Your teenager is at risk from Omicron?

00:19:07.000 This is somebody who is not, again, it's the The informed and the dogmatic.

00:19:12.000 I know you're saying, shouldn't it be informed and uninformed?

00:19:14.000 Well, no, it goes without saying.

00:19:15.000 The informed, but then the dogmatic.

00:19:17.000 There is a religion now of fear and of COVID, and there are certain people who, no matter how much it changes, they have to hold on to it like this mother, and they have to try and make it miserable for everybody else.

00:19:29.000 By the way, while you're saying that you're frustrated that as a parent, an authority figure, you're saying is doing your job for you, where are you on critical race theory?

00:19:35.000 Where are you on public schools teaching morality issues to kids?

00:19:38.000 Are you upset?

00:19:38.000 Do you believe that those issues should be left to the parents to teach?

00:19:42.000 Or do you want to put that in the hands of public education?

00:19:44.000 Again, it requires inconsistency to maintain the current position.

00:19:47.000 Well, whatever gets a lawsuit. 0.77

00:19:49.000 Right.

00:19:49.000 I mean, that's what that is.

00:19:50.000 It's just setting up for an ability to get a lawsuit.

00:19:53.000 It's like a slip and fall, but the mask slips.

00:19:55.000 Right.

00:19:55.000 Exactly.

00:19:56.000 By the way, your kid is in college, right?

00:19:58.000 When would you like them to start making decisions for themselves?

00:20:02.000 I'm sorry, he's growing up and learning to be an adult. 1.00

00:20:04.000 When the check clears, bitch! 1.00

00:20:05.000 And by the way, he didn't say anything about parents not mattering. 1.00

00:20:08.000 He said, if you want to wear these, go for it.

00:20:09.000 He didn't say, your mom and dad may have told you to wear these.

00:20:13.000 There's more to this story, and I absolutely adore it.

00:20:16.000 Because the mother and the son is there, and you know that he's responding.

00:20:18.000 It's almost like, you know, he's a little senior Wences.

00:20:21.000 Isn't that right?

00:20:21.000 That's right, mom!

00:20:22.000 You always right!

00:20:23.000 You right!

00:20:27.000 But the thing is, this is my mom, she used to cripple me with beatings if I grabbed a candy bar. 1.00

00:20:32.000 Please don't make me pick my own switch!

00:20:34.000 Not again!

00:20:35.000 So the CDC eased mask restrictions, as you well know.

00:20:39.000 Even Fauci talked about this.

00:20:40.000 And its location, its risk base, you can bring up the overlay.

00:20:43.000 Also there's this Danish study and a Bloomberg article, both of which said that masks Basically make little to no difference, okay?

00:20:51.000 Now here's my... I can't make that point.

00:20:53.000 We can't make this point because on YouTube you can be removed.

00:20:55.000 So in other words, if you're a scientist and you actually say, well, you know what, if we look at masks and we look at the way that people are wearing them, they're not really effective.

00:21:01.000 So Bloomberg, in a Danish study, Daneland, wrote these articles, which were very compelling.

00:21:10.000 Hey, you know who else must have read these articles?

00:21:14.000 The sun!

00:21:15.000 Oh! 0.60

00:21:15.000 Yeah! 0.60

00:21:18.000 Got that loot, man.

00:21:20.000 Give me what you got.

00:21:21.000 Oh my gosh.

00:21:23.000 Please send this to that mother.

00:21:24.000 Like, what?

00:21:26.000 You were smiling?

00:21:27.000 What?

00:21:27.000 I can't believe it.

00:21:29.000 You were happy to take your mask off?

00:21:30.000 What?

00:21:31.000 It was the governor mom.

00:21:32.000 That ear-to-ear grin of just like, oh thank god it's so hot in here.

00:21:35.000 Now I can breathe.

00:21:36.000 Oh, thank you governor. 1.00

00:21:37.000 You made a fool of me on local news, bitch! 1.00

00:21:39.000 She's gonna be furious with her. 1.00

00:21:41.000 I was shocked and upset and happy.

00:21:44.000 All at the same time.

00:21:47.000 Can we find that kid and have him on the show?

00:21:49.000 Oh, that'd be great.

00:21:50.000 Just not his mom.

00:21:52.000 I'd like to talk to his mom, though, because everything she said was a giant contradiction because she's not wearing a mask.

00:21:59.000 That's my point, though.

00:22:00.000 She can't say any of it.

00:22:01.000 It doesn't matter. 1.00

00:22:02.000 Son of a bitch, I'm 19 time boosted! 1.00

00:22:05.000 Yeah, and also, why is he bringing it home to you? 1.00

00:22:07.000 Oh.

00:22:08.000 You live at home?

00:22:08.000 I thought it was a college.

00:22:09.000 You should be quarantining.

00:22:11.000 I did not want to pay for dormitories.

00:22:13.000 Well, that's true.

00:22:14.000 He stays at home.

00:22:15.000 It's expensive.

00:22:16.000 Yeah, that's the worst thing he's gonna catch.

00:22:18.000 Ever heard of in-state tuition, mother- I don't think he's transmitting the other things to his mom, though.

00:22:24.000 Oh, I hope not.

00:22:26.000 Or maybe they share a glass.

00:22:28.000 If he's wearing his mask, how can he engage in four years of glorified alcoholism for $200,000?

00:22:31.000 Well, right, exactly.

00:22:33.000 Strainer, yeah.

00:22:33.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:22:35.000 You can leave with a degree that people go, uh... Right, yeah.

00:22:40.000 All right.

00:22:42.000 You know what?

00:22:42.000 I saw your mom on the news.

00:22:43.000 Okay, we'll give you an internship.

00:22:44.000 Get out of here.

00:22:45.000 Go bring me coffees.

00:22:46.000 Now, here's something that I just love, this story from Sam Elliott.

00:22:50.000 I'm a Sam Elliott fan.

00:22:51.000 I know he's not necessarily on our side of the political spectrum, but he is partially.

00:22:55.000 I was about to say.

00:22:56.000 You know that Benedict Cumberbatch film when it's the power of the dog?

00:23:00.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:23:00.000 It's certified fresh, which is a stupid term. 1.00

00:23:05.000 94% of critics gave it a positive review on Rotten Tomatoes, but Sam Elliott is actually, he's really not a fan, he was asked about it recently on a podcast, and some of the comments are hysterical, but you had a point that you wanted to make. 0.68

00:23:16.000 Yeah, well, I mean, look, I think Hollywood is totally missing the boat here.

00:23:19.000 If you've watched Yellowstone, if you've watched, what is it, 1883 or whatever, the other one after that, they're thinking, alright, let's just make as many westerns as we can make, but when I watch that, when my wife watches that, We look at it and we're like, oh man, they're saying stuff that we agree with.

00:23:32.000 There's scenes where they're talking about tough love for kids and making them into pets because you're giving them too many things and it's not gonna be a good thing.

00:23:39.000 And then there's just the toughness of being a man and having to go out and be a cowboy and work hard for a living.

00:23:45.000 And Hollywood is like, oh, well let's just make more westerns with none of those elements involved in it at all.

00:23:51.000 And instead what they should be doing is going, huh, there's this giant segment of America that's being missed.

00:23:55.000 And I think you were making the point that Sheridan, the guy who wrote it, is basically what he has tapped into is that through line through all of his stuff is that there is a segment of America that's been left behind that these movies really do speak to and these shows really do speak to and it makes him feel like oh you know what that's right there are some bad things that we have to get rid of in society for sure but these things are great these things are conservative values and some of the tough love that we don't have anymore he was also in Tombstone which is my money my favorite Western

00:24:25.000 Whatever, but it was also considered kind of a dead medium.

00:24:25.000 It is.

00:24:28.000 Well, that's true, but Tombstone brought it back.

00:24:30.000 Yes, and so did Unforgiven.

00:24:33.000 Sam Elliott.

00:24:34.000 Sam Elliott was in Tombstone, yeah, that's right.

00:24:35.000 I thought you meant Sheridan.

00:24:36.000 He's here. 0.83

00:24:37.000 What the heck? 0.93

00:24:39.000 Sam?

00:24:40.000 Sam Elliott?

00:24:41.000 So I actually decided to take some time to read. 1.00

00:24:45.000 Son of a bitch. 1.00

00:24:46.000 You should have got him the big cowboy hat headphones. 1.00

00:24:49.000 The New York Post. 0.99

00:24:51.000 Took my ass out of context. 0.98

00:24:54.000 I'd like to read my thoughts on Benedict Cumberbatch. 0.95

00:25:00.000 These are the exact quotes and all references are available at linerwithgrunner.com in the pinned comment. 0.98

00:25:10.000 That's what all these fucking cowboys in that movie looked like. 0.98

00:25:15.000 Chippendales dancers. 1.00

00:25:17.000 They're all running around in chaps and no shirts. 1.00

00:25:21.000 There's all these allusions to homosexuality throughout the whole fucking film. 0.99

00:25:29.000 Where's the western in this western? 1.00

00:25:31.000 I mean, Cumberbatch never got out of his fucking chaps. 1.00

00:25:37.000 He had two pairs of chaps. 0.99

00:25:39.000 A woolly pair and a leather pair. 0.99

00:25:45.000 And every fucking time he would walk in from somewhere, he never once was on a horse. 1.00

00:25:52.000 He'd walk into the fucking house, storming up the fucking stairs to go lay in his bed and his chaps and play his banjo. 1.00

00:25:59.000 It's like, what the fuck? 1.00

00:26:03.000 I just think there's a problem with modern westerns. 1.00

00:26:06.000 A lot of homosexual undertones and overtones in this movie.

00:26:12.000 And I made my living.

00:26:15.000 You know that, Gerald and Dave, right?

00:26:17.000 You did, at Tombstone.

00:26:19.000 Like I just mentioned, you were great in that.

00:26:21.000 Well, I have to say, for my own job security, I'm a little concerned.

00:26:28.000 I used to make films with greats like Kurt Russell and Bill Paxton.

00:26:34.000 Now if I want to work out there in the range, I have to get pegged by Brian Stelter.

00:26:39.000 Oh, geez. 0.99

00:26:44.000 I don't give a rat's ass what the union says, you're gonna have to pay my sorry ass more than fuckin' Skatehole. 1.00

00:26:50.000 I wouldn't even let my dog watch this movie. 1.00

00:26:55.000 Matter of fact, I'd rather watch Magic Mike with an unpeeled banana in my mouth.

00:27:02.000 Why does the woman leave? 1.00

00:27:04.000 This is for people who've watched the actual fuckin' movie. 0.98

00:27:09.000 Why did that woman leave? 1.00

00:27:10.000 Oh, because you like him better.

00:27:14.000 Look, I'm not one to protest a funeral and say that God hates... Can't say the F word.

00:27:22.000 Right, no, no.

00:27:23.000 No, Sam, don't do that.

00:27:24.000 But just because it's no longer unlawful doesn't mean it's not immoral and disgusting. 0.99

00:27:31.000 I hate Hollywood and I hate its liberal queerness. 0.98

00:27:33.000 I also hate that Confersican podcast that made this a story. 0.74

00:27:41.000 You know, we're getting some comments.

00:27:42.000 Maybe if 15,000 of you hit like in the next five minutes, I'll have to host the rest of this show.

00:27:51.000 Here is Sam Elliott.

00:27:54.000 I really hope it's an unattainable goal.

00:27:57.000 It might be, uh, I don't know, Sam.

00:27:59.000 I think you could do it.

00:28:00.000 I think Sam Elliott could do anything.

00:28:02.000 He can.

00:28:03.000 He was a cowboy.

00:28:04.000 He actually worked.

00:28:05.000 Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

00:28:10.000 Like making a film with Benedict Cumberbatch and chapless ass pants getting pegged by whoever won't even get a second look for Best Supporting Actor. 0.76

00:28:22.000 More like Best Supporting Queer. 0.99

00:28:24.000 Did you like him in Doctor Strange?

00:28:25.000 Are you a big Doctor Strange fan?

00:28:28.000 I'm not a huge fan of the Marvel Universe.

00:28:31.000 No? 0.92

00:28:32.000 Mainly because it's surrounded with queers. 1.00

00:28:34.000 Ah, same thing. 0.97

00:28:35.000 Mainly, yeah. 0.98

00:28:36.000 Which one do you think is the most gay? 0.98

00:28:39.000 Well, I think you'd have to take into account that the Hulk, when he switches from Bruce Banner, a wimpy-ass queer scientist, into the world's most powerful superhero, all his clothes rip off except his pants. 0.99

00:28:54.000 How convenient. 0.82

00:28:56.000 I think it's remarkably inconsistent. 0.98

00:29:00.000 I also think that we never see him from behind because those are assless purple pants. 0.96

00:29:08.000 Are you sure about that? 0.97

00:29:09.000 I'm not sure I'm making an inference, by God.

00:29:13.000 Have you seen any of these movies?

00:29:15.000 Well, the problem now is I'm about 85 with my cataracts.

00:29:19.000 I can't see much.

00:29:19.000 I think you're 77.

00:29:21.000 But that doesn't mean I can't tell right from wrong, goddammit.

00:29:24.000 Do you still like Marlboros?

00:29:28.000 I'm actually a Chesterfield man.

00:29:31.000 They don't make them anymore, which makes them hard to come by.

00:29:36.000 What was that?

00:29:36.000 I was just wondering if you saved the cartons.

00:29:39.000 Why would I save the cartons?

00:29:41.000 This is the guy you have here.

00:29:42.000 This is what I'm talking about.

00:29:43.000 Don't put him in some new western along Kevin Costner. 0.98

00:29:46.000 No, I'd be very gay. 0.84

00:29:47.000 He does his new show out there, supposed to be on the range, like we don't know that he's faking his voice. 0.88

00:29:54.000 We all saw you in the Postman.

00:29:56.000 I got a question.

00:29:57.000 I mean, what do you think about... I'm not Kevin Costner.

00:30:00.000 Great, great movie.

00:30:01.000 Great movie.

00:30:02.000 Brokeback Mountain.

00:30:03.000 What were your thoughts? 1.00

00:30:05.000 Son of a bitch. 1.00

00:30:07.000 Did you see what you did there? 1.00

00:30:08.000 And that's the problem with our society.

00:30:11.000 I mean, could you quit him? 0.85

00:30:14.000 Not everything is required to be an undertone, or in your case, overtone of homosexuality.

00:30:21.000 I think that one's blatant.

00:30:22.000 I don't even know if it's a tone.

00:30:24.000 Can we just go back to the days where... I remember we had... One Miss Anne Margaret.

00:30:32.000 Raquel Welch.

00:30:34.000 They've been replaced with... One Direction.

00:30:41.000 One Direction and... New Kids on the Block.

00:30:45.000 Your references seem a little dated.

00:30:47.000 I don't care how many times Backstreet's back.

00:30:50.000 I won't be there for it.

00:30:50.000 Huh.

00:30:53.000 And I certainly won't put them in a Western. 0.99

00:30:56.000 Alright, look, I'm gonna take one moment, even though I'm not happy to have to do it, but I'm contractually obligated to push this queer shit. 1.00

00:31:07.000 Apparently, Steven Crowder and Dave Lando are on tour, because that's still allowed in this country. 0.93

00:31:14.000 Dave's gonna be at the Funny Bone in Hartford, Connecticut, March 18th through 19th.

00:31:21.000 Then in Tulsa, Oklahoma on May 14th, Colorado Springs, June 18th.

00:31:28.000 Gonna have both Crowder and Dave. 0.96

00:31:31.000 Where you can bet that you'll probably have a few at least sub-closeted homosexuals in the audience. 1.00

00:31:38.000 Oh, here we go. 0.93

00:31:39.000 So long as you're comfortable with it.

00:31:40.000 I don't know if you're comfortable with yourself, Sam.

00:31:43.000 Are you good with you?

00:31:44.000 Who you are?

00:31:45.000 It's neither here nor there.

00:31:48.000 I don't have to be comfortable with myself to not be comfortable with a couple of queers on the range who have never ridden a horse in their life. 1.00

00:31:55.000 They wouldn't know what to do with a saddle if it was pegged up their own asses. 0.99

00:31:58.000 I don't think it can fit. 0.98

00:32:00.000 I think they'd know not to do that.

00:32:02.000 Well, I don't know if they know there's some from their picker wood.

00:32:06.000 You don't get tired of riding fences, Sam?

00:32:09.000 Riding horses?

00:32:09.000 Is that a reference?

00:32:12.000 Was that you trying to be clever?

00:32:14.000 Were you two lines from the song Desperado?

00:32:17.000 This man is doing songs from the...

00:32:19.000 Is that what you just did?

00:32:20.000 He's doing lines.

00:32:21.000 But almost.

00:32:22.000 That was uncomfortable.

00:32:23.000 You know, just because it's not against the law doesn't mean that your attempt at comedy... Doesn't get lonely out there?

00:32:29.000 ...is not offensive to the sensibilities.

00:32:33.000 I need someone to take the camera so that I can get out of this.

00:32:39.000 Where's the host?

00:32:43.000 Isn't being a cowboy kind of like prison, Dave?

00:32:45.000 Where you're just surrounded by other guys and you're like, well...

00:32:48.000 This is now life, I guess.

00:32:50.000 I don't think it's an excuse, I'm just saying.

00:32:52.000 For God's sakes, thanks for letting me have to... I can't do it!

00:32:58.000 Sam has to leave!

00:33:00.000 He does, we gotta give, you know... I can't believe you got him on the show.

00:33:04.000 You got him to promote our stand-up dates.

00:33:04.000 We did pretty well.

00:33:06.000 That's exciting.

00:33:07.000 He was not happy about it.

00:33:09.000 I mean, he didn't have to call us names.

00:33:10.000 What were you about to say, Tim?

00:33:11.000 We didn't hit the 15,000.

00:33:13.000 Perfect, good.

00:33:14.000 Actually, I was watching the number go up, and then it went down.

00:33:17.000 It went down?

00:33:18.000 It hit 15,700 likes, and then it got tacked down to 15,100 likes.

00:33:22.000 Oh, wow.

00:33:24.000 They are not Sam Elliott fans.

00:33:26.000 That's pretty good, though.

00:33:27.000 You actually did hit the mark.

00:33:29.000 Yeah.

00:33:29.000 Well, no, no, no, this was just a... No, no, we were at 9,000.

00:33:33.000 It went to 15,000.

00:33:35.000 I think that's a limited time only kind of thing.

00:33:37.000 Okay.

00:33:38.000 I'm really trying to push it as if it wasn't.

00:33:42.000 We did a show where Bernie Sanders hosted the entire show and Donald Trump, and people didn't realize that they weren't real.

00:33:49.000 Got very upset, yes.

00:33:51.000 Why does he have Bernie hosting his show?

00:33:53.000 Why is he roast?

00:33:54.000 Why is he making fun of Trump?

00:33:55.000 He's like, nah man, it's Bernie.

00:33:58.000 Alright.

00:33:59.000 Here's another thing.

00:33:59.000 So this is something that just happened and it's unbelievable to me because I heard Bill Gates say this.

00:34:05.000 And I thought, well, he can't say that.

00:34:07.000 No, no, no.

00:34:07.000 Because I was just... But he's Bill Gates.

00:34:09.000 Yeah, he's Bill Gates.

00:34:09.000 So he can say that.

00:34:10.000 But there's a silver lining.

00:34:12.000 For me.

00:34:13.000 Playbook.

00:34:13.000 So Bill Gates, this is about Omicron.

00:34:15.000 Bill Gates just said recently that Omicron has worked better as a vaccine than actual vaccines.

00:34:22.000 This is Bill Gates, the vaccine guy.

00:34:24.000 Listen.

00:34:25.000 Where would you assess where we are today in beating COVID-19?

00:34:31.000 Well, sadly, the virus itself, particularly the variant called Omicron, is a type of vaccine.

00:34:42.000 That is, it creates both B-cell and T-cell immunity.

00:34:46.000 And it's done a better job of getting out to the world population than we have with vaccines.

00:34:53.000 First off, get a comb.

00:34:54.000 Second, who else It just seems weird to me.

00:34:58.000 It's a billionaire with a bowl cut.

00:35:01.000 Who else said this?

00:35:04.000 We now have a variant, Omicron, okay?

00:35:08.000 Yeah.

00:35:08.000 We have a variant which is significantly more transmissible, okay?

00:35:12.000 Communicable, whatever term you want to use.

00:35:13.000 It has outcompeted Delta and the original variant.

00:35:16.000 It is the primary variant, right?

00:35:18.000 It has overtaken all the other variants.

00:35:20.000 If you're catching COVID now, You're very likely catching Omicron.

00:35:25.000 Okay, so now it's taken over all the more deadly forms of COVID.

00:35:29.000 It's become the form of COVID that everyone catches and the vast majority of people have very little symptoms.

00:35:35.000 According to the CDC.

00:35:36.000 According to them, not us.

00:35:37.000 You could argue that Omicron is responsible for reducing deaths more than the vaccines.

00:35:46.000 So, wait a second.

00:35:48.000 If Bill Gates said it and I said it, but I was raked over the... I was in trouble for saying the exact same thing.

00:35:58.000 I'm trying to... I own Microsoft!

00:36:08.000 Yeah, sell.

00:36:09.000 Okay, good.

00:36:10.000 Yeah, go ahead and sell.

00:36:10.000 Cash out.

00:36:11.000 Sell.

00:36:12.000 All right.

00:36:13.000 Good news.

00:36:14.000 Big day.

00:36:15.000 This is exactly what we were talking about.

00:36:16.000 Yesterday's banned content is today's sound science.

00:36:19.000 Well, Steven, you're not a scientist.

00:36:21.000 I am not a scientist.

00:36:23.000 You're not a doctor of Microsoft.

00:36:25.000 No, I'm not a doctor of Microsoft.

00:36:26.000 I didn't go and smash all of my competitors' tables with baseball bats.

00:36:31.000 Hey, my bowl cut.

00:36:32.000 It was effective.

00:36:33.000 It's always tough, like, they have to put his lower third because, like, is that the second richest, or whatever, richest man in the world?

00:36:38.000 Or is it a lesbian librarian? 1.00

00:36:39.000 I'm not... Oh.

00:36:40.000 I'm going librarian.

00:36:42.000 It's the rich guy.

00:36:43.000 Yeah.

00:36:43.000 It's like a Batman villain, but you can go all the way.

00:36:47.000 Right, yes, and his superpower would be to go, shh!

00:36:50.000 Yeah.

00:36:52.000 I'm the librarian.

00:36:53.000 I'm the librarian!

00:36:55.000 I'll charge you late fees for books you never knew you had!

00:37:00.000 I won't pay him.

00:37:02.000 You know, it's frustrating to only be right three months later.

00:37:09.000 Yeah.

00:37:09.000 Well, here's the thing.

00:37:11.000 You know what?

00:37:12.000 If you guys can comment, again, best thing for the algorithm, but if you guys have experienced Omicron.

00:37:15.000 We did this poll a long time ago, and a lot of you had had Omicron, and they were very mild symptoms.

00:37:19.000 People in this office, most people here had Omicron.

00:37:21.000 I had Omicron.

00:37:23.000 Uh, and it was actually less severe than when I had a sinus infection a couple weeks after that.

00:37:27.000 I wish people would say, that came from the Omicron.

00:37:29.000 No, it didn't.

00:37:29.000 I tested negative for a long time.

00:37:30.000 Here's the issue, and Trevor Noah, who, by the way, do we know, is Trevor Noah going to be on the show there at Token Island?

00:37:35.000 Because he reached out to us, and then we reached back out to Trevor Noah.

00:37:38.000 Yeah, he's, we haven't heard back yet.

00:37:40.000 Oh, okay, so he's- Yo, Trev!

00:37:43.000 Don't say that.

00:37:44.000 Why not?

00:37:45.000 Nobody calls him Trev, that's the short for Trevor.

00:37:49.000 To who?

00:37:50.000 What?

00:37:51.000 Yeah, to white guys.

00:37:52.000 This isn't Family Matters, Gerald.

00:37:54.000 No, this is 90s names.

00:37:56.000 There's no fresh prints.

00:37:57.000 But he made this argument.

00:37:59.000 He said, you know, that these people now who are claiming that they're right, these people now who are claiming that they're right, well, sure, but you were wrong 15 times.

00:38:06.000 No, here's the thing.

00:38:07.000 It's not like a psychic who just says, oh, your husband is Barry, Bob, Bruce, and gets it right finally.

00:38:15.000 What matters is, Did this science exist at the time where the people you trusted were making those claims?

00:38:22.000 For example, Fauci.

00:38:24.000 When Fauci said that AIDS was airborne and kids could catch it in their home at their breakfast nook, were there other scientists at that time saying it's wrong?

00:38:32.000 We didn't just make some wild prediction here on this show, and I'm not a scientist.

00:38:36.000 We did make an inference based on all the data available.

00:38:38.000 So when people try and say, oh, well, you're right now because Bill Gates says it, Apparently he's a scientist.

00:38:43.000 They say, well, you're right now, but it doesn't mean that you were right then.

00:38:46.000 You were just guessing at random.

00:38:48.000 Hold on a second.

00:38:49.000 You were trusting people simply because they were authority figures and you've decided now that you believe in authoritarianism as it relates to science because it's not a...

00:38:57.000 It's not a practice.

00:38:58.000 It's not a theory.

00:38:59.000 It's a religion.

00:39:00.000 But at that time, was there scientific data and were there dissenting scientists saying, actually it's probably a better idea to let Omicron spread at this point because it's the best we can hope for with a variant?

00:39:11.000 That did exist at that time.

00:39:13.000 You chose to dismiss them.

00:39:14.000 So it's not guessing at random.

00:39:15.000 We, in January, didn't just say that.

00:39:19.000 We didn't say it willy-nilly.

00:39:20.000 Yeah.

00:39:21.000 We did a lot of research and it was dismissed and it was attacked as radical when there were many, many scientists.

00:39:27.000 Where do you think we got it?

00:39:29.000 Scientists!

00:39:29.000 The ones who use silence.

00:39:31.000 Now Bill Gates is saying they're right.

00:39:32.000 Doesn't it feel embarrassing to be wrong always?

00:39:36.000 What do you mean?

00:39:37.000 Lockdowns.

00:39:38.000 Masks.

00:39:39.000 Vaccines.

00:39:40.000 You can't spread it.

00:39:41.000 The booster.

00:39:41.000 Had another booster.

00:39:43.000 Omicron.

00:39:44.000 I mean, shutting down schools.

00:39:48.000 Take your- you've been wrong about- from a lab!

00:39:50.000 That had it in the title!

00:39:55.000 The best one.

00:39:56.000 It was the COVID-19 research lab.

00:39:58.000 Nobody saw that coming.

00:39:59.000 No, it was the COVID-19 generating lab.

00:40:02.000 I'm sorry.

00:40:02.000 Yes, yes.

00:40:03.000 Potentially.

00:40:03.000 It was the bat sandwich COVID-19 lab.

00:40:06.000 Right.

00:40:08.000 For crying out loud, bats had nothing to do with it.

00:40:10.000 Do you have any idea how many bats I killed?

00:40:13.000 Poor bats.

00:40:14.000 But they were actually vampires.

00:40:16.000 Well, I assume so.

00:40:18.000 That's what I do.

00:40:19.000 One of them was making Bela Lugosi eyes at me.

00:40:21.000 Seriously though, this is the danger! 0.99

00:40:22.000 I should just kill people hoping that they're bats. 0.99

00:40:25.000 But, in a serious, take the bats, swap them out for humans. 1.00

00:40:28.000 Swap them out for the unvaccinated, right? 1.00

00:40:30.000 We blame bats.

00:40:31.000 Had nothing to do, it wasn't bats!

00:40:33.000 Wasn't, it wasn't a bat problem! 0.99

00:40:34.000 They couldn't find it in bats in nature.

00:40:37.000 Now we switch it out to the unvaccinated are the problem, that are spreading it. 1.00

00:40:40.000 No!

00:40:41.000 You just heard Bill Gates say that Omicron is more effective than the vaccine.

00:40:43.000 Omicron penetrates the vaccine.

00:40:45.000 So swap out bats for human beings. 0.59

00:40:48.000 And what do you do when you're dishonest and you don't allow voices of multiple voices, dissenting voices, differing opinions at the table?

00:40:55.000 You end up scapegoating someone or something that doesn't deserve to be scapegoated.

00:41:01.000 That's how it happens.

00:41:04.000 Not saying Fauci's a Nazi.

00:41:06.000 What I am saying is, how does it start?

00:41:09.000 A beagle would, for crying out loud.

00:41:11.000 It's like Auschwitz. 0.62

00:41:13.000 It is.

00:41:13.000 It's worse.

00:41:14.000 For beagles.

00:41:15.000 But what I am saying is, anytime you decide, you decide for some reason, especially when it's arbitrary, on an authority figure who you will follow blindly, or in this case, a group of authoritative figures who you will follow blindly.

00:41:29.000 That's how it becomes very easy to other people, meaning to create a class of others.

00:41:35.000 And by the way, isn't this an irony that the left is so obsessed with diversity, you know?

00:41:40.000 We have to have enough people with afros on this board of ethnobotany. 1.00

00:41:45.000 I thought ethnobotany was a ficus and a fro.

00:41:47.000 Turns out there's a whole thing.

00:41:50.000 But the point is, they have to have all the different colors and shapes and if someone's 350 pounds, they get some kind of a Pell Grant.

00:41:57.000 But when it comes to science, Which is supposed to be the practice of testing a hypothesis every which possible way to come to the most accurate conclusion.

00:42:07.000 We don't care about the intellectual diversity at all.

00:42:09.000 If intellectual diversity in science is not a- then don't act- then diversity is not a thing.

00:42:13.000 It doesn't matter.

00:42:13.000 There's a- it's the only place where diversity actually is a strength.

00:42:18.000 They care about visual diversity, and that's about it.

00:42:20.000 But here's the other thing.

00:42:21.000 You told the whole world to trust China. 0.89

00:42:25.000 And for the first time in history, most of them were like, well, they said it.

00:42:28.000 OK, I guess we have WHO says that didn't happen like that in China because China said it didn't.

00:42:32.000 Yeah, judging by their own citizens, China has always had your best interest at heart.

00:42:36.000 Well they do, especially as they're peeling you out of your apartment to take you to a place where you're going to totally recover.

00:42:43.000 Dave just made an excellent point.

00:42:45.000 That is the nail on the head and I want to highlight.

00:42:47.000 You said judging by its citizens.

00:42:49.000 When people try to say that we're not pushing Asians in front of a subway train, by the way, run the numbers.

00:42:54.000 See who is committing the vast majority of anti-Asian hate crimes in this country.

00:42:58.000 But you said if you look at the citizens.

00:43:00.000 Why are we trusting?

00:43:01.000 When we are trusting That COVID came from a bat, it occurred in nature.

00:43:05.000 We are trusting the government, the same government, who runs their citizens over with tanks, who commits genocide.

00:43:12.000 If you care about the Chinese people, you should hate whatever! 1.00

00:43:17.000 Your natural set point should be despise anything coming from the Chinese government. 0.87

00:43:20.000 A lot of people try and say they're one and the same.

00:43:22.000 That's a great example.

00:43:22.000 You know who suffers most?

00:43:23.000 The Chinese citizens when Americans trust the Chinese labs, government funded. 0.92

00:43:27.000 Of course, because they look at it as if it's racist because they don't understand that the Chinese government and Chinese citizens are two different things.

00:43:34.000 They just go, oh, you hate Asians, and they leave it as a blanket statement.

00:43:37.000 Right. 0.99

00:43:37.000 It just shows more of the ignorance of this country. 0.99

00:43:39.000 Yeah.

00:43:40.000 And how everything has become a racial topic.

00:43:42.000 I'm not a big fan of the Mongols. 1.00

00:43:47.000 I'll say it.

00:43:48.000 The Mongolians.

00:43:49.000 The Lloyds.

00:43:49.000 How many of them do you know?

00:43:51.000 Well, I know enough that they had to build a wall to keep them out.

00:43:54.000 Well, I think that was... Is that Genghis Khan?

00:43:57.000 Keep them in.

00:43:57.000 Yeah, they were just like, alright.

00:43:58.000 I knew he wasn't nice.

00:43:59.000 That's enough out of you impregnating the entire Asian continent. 1.00

00:44:03.000 I think everybody in this room has a little bit of Khan in them. 0.98

00:44:05.000 Yeah, I think so too.

00:44:06.000 The wall was basically the world's first giant... it was a prophylactic.

00:44:09.000 Yep.

00:44:10.000 Didn't work.

00:44:10.000 Genghis Khan's like, I can't put in the wall of stone!

00:44:14.000 I'm almost not comfortable!

00:44:16.000 Yeah, that guy just killed people and made love.

00:44:20.000 Make love is an awfully kind way to put it.

00:44:22.000 Yeah, that's true. 0.99

00:44:23.000 Rape.

00:44:24.000 Who say I leave her with a smile on her face? 1.00

00:44:26.000 I don't care!

00:44:26.000 Get me!

00:44:27.000 Oh no!

00:44:28.000 More stone wall! 0.97

00:44:30.000 People are awful. 0.97

00:44:31.000 And the Chinese government, the people in charge, so corrupt, do you know how the Great Wall of China was breached? 0.98

00:44:37.000 How?

00:44:38.000 They paid someone at the gate to let them through.

00:44:40.000 That's always how it happens.

00:44:41.000 Yeah, that's what happens when you have people working for the government.

00:44:43.000 Guess what? 0.54

00:44:43.000 It's corrupt. 0.54

00:44:44.000 You spend so much time building something beautiful and keeping up appearances and lying to the world.

00:44:49.000 Lying to the world, whether it's, you know, about the fact that kung fu actually, I don't know, works, or that COVID came from a bat in nature.

00:44:57.000 Kung Fu works, just doesn't help you get out of a noose.

00:45:01.000 Right.

00:45:01.000 That's true.

00:45:04.000 Or it helps you get in the news.

00:45:05.000 Yes.

00:45:06.000 Google David Carradine.

00:45:07.000 Yes, for people who don't know.

00:45:08.000 And the show Kung Fu.

00:45:10.000 Also watch Life is a House.

00:45:11.000 Now, let's get into Russia here, because we're talking about China, and this does matter.

00:45:15.000 You know, Russia, China, this is my concern.

00:45:18.000 Russia, who cares? 1.00

00:45:19.000 Russia with China? 0.92

00:45:20.000 Ooh, that's worst case scenario.

00:45:21.000 That's World War III type stuff, especially if China starts moving on Taiwan.

00:45:25.000 But a lot of groups now have been pushing back really hard.

00:45:27.000 Have you seen this with Russia? 0.89

00:45:29.000 Bans on things like Russian products, services, organizations.

00:45:34.000 So there's been a proactive approach now across the board from the world's biggest companies to publicly try and stifle Russia's ability to do commerce, right? 0.56

00:45:46.000 And also embarrass them on the world's... We've almost seen this in history before, and it not working out well.

00:45:52.000 Ever.

00:45:53.000 But this is what they're doing, the most powerful companies and organizations in the world.

00:45:56.000 So here's what Apple is doing specifically in terms of actions in response.

00:46:00.000 Pausing all product sales in Russia.

00:46:02.000 Also Apple says last week we stopped all exports into our sales channel into the country.

00:46:07.000 Apple Pay and other services have been limited.

00:46:09.000 Russia Today News and Sputnik News are no longer available for download on the App Store outside of Russia.

00:46:16.000 Google said on Tuesday that it had blocked mobile apps connected to Russian news outlets RT and Sputnik.

00:46:23.000 from its Play Store. It comes after the company confirmed that it had removed Russian state-funded

00:46:28.000 publishers, including RT, from its news-related features, including the Google News search tool.

00:46:35.000 The European Union also banned RT and Sputnik with immediate effect for systematic disinformation

00:46:42.000 over Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Wednesday.

00:46:45.000 We have just learned that the U.S.

00:46:47.000 Olympic and Paralympic Committee is now joining the IOC and Global Olympic Community in calling for a complete ban on all Russian athletes competing because of the invasion of Ukraine.

00:46:58.000 This would be effective immediately.

00:47:00.000 But I've been doping!

00:47:03.000 Open a can with her chin.

00:47:05.000 Because they were going to compete anyway.

00:47:07.000 So hold on, let me just make sure that makes sense.

00:47:12.000 When you're talking about Apple, you're talking about Google.

00:47:16.000 So the Russian government finally became As offensive as Donald Trump and Parler were, just for existing.

00:47:24.000 Just to be clear, they were removed from these places a long time ago.

00:47:27.000 It took this long for Russia to be removed. 0.96

00:47:29.000 My point is, do I think it's silly?

00:47:30.000 Yeah, I don't think that any of them should be removed.

00:47:35.000 Done?

00:47:36.000 But removing Donald, yeah.

00:47:37.000 I mean, do we need to do a segment?

00:47:39.000 Period.

00:47:40.000 Well, especially when you helped, I don't know, build them?

00:47:42.000 Right.

00:47:43.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:47:44.000 It's not like Frankenstein's monster at this point.

00:47:46.000 Well, let's also talk about another point here, right?

00:47:48.000 Google, YouTube.

00:47:49.000 Hey, hold on a second.

00:47:49.000 Is TikTok still available in the App Store?

00:47:52.000 By the way, the actual Chinese Communist Party has a stake in TikTok.

00:47:55.000 It actually has, not Just to say, they can tell you what to upload and determine what is to be banned.

00:48:01.000 Which, by the way, we still have not been banned from TikTok, but we're gonna do another Trash TikTok segment at the end of this.

00:48:04.000 I'm going to try my hardest.

00:48:06.000 Yeah.

00:48:07.000 Well I know that the NBA has probably cancelled all their promotions, China broadcasting deals, merchandise deals, all of that, right?

00:48:13.000 Yes.

00:48:13.000 Because of them killing Uyghurs.

00:48:15.000 To use Google as an example, Google, YouTube, not only doesn't ban propaganda from the Communist Chinese government, they will actually adhere to the rules of the Communist Chinese government and not allow certain content to be viewable in those countries.

00:48:29.000 This is a country that commits genocide!

00:48:34.000 I just, again, the whole idea, this is grandstanding.

00:48:37.000 This is virtue signaling on the international stage.

00:48:40.000 Look, look, we're banning Russia.

00:48:42.000 Alright, TikTok's gone.

00:48:46.000 Why would you want to silence people, though, when you want to know what they're doing?

00:48:50.000 Just on top of it.

00:48:51.000 Exactly.

00:48:51.000 Keep an eye on them.

00:48:52.000 On top of it, that's stupid. 0.99

00:48:54.000 It's that whole point that you are allowing misinformation and disinformation, and so now you get to just say, well, this side doesn't get to get their point out. 0.99

00:49:02.000 And look, I am pro-Ukraine in all of this.

00:49:04.000 We've had these conversations before.

00:49:05.000 But the information coming out of Ukraine is not necessarily reliable either.

00:49:09.000 We've seen like four or five stories that have been put out that have been like, well, that's not quite what happened, or that didn't actually happen at all the way that they said it.

00:49:17.000 And so I don't know that Ukraine is trying to put out misinformation or disinformation, but I guarantee you there is a war for hearts and minds of people around the world right now, and it would be stupid of them not to highlight some of these cases and go, see what the Russians are doing, it's bad, come to our aid. 0.65

00:49:29.000 And it would be stupid for Russia not to say, see, here's what we're doing.

00:49:32.000 If their goal is to go in and take over the country, Just let people see it. 0.98

00:49:36.000 People can go back and watch the State of the Union stream that we did.

00:49:39.000 What did former Vice President Biden, what did he spend, a minute and a half on China?

00:49:43.000 Well, he, you know.

00:49:44.000 He cured cancer.

00:49:45.000 He's going to.

00:49:46.000 He's going to cure cancer.

00:49:47.000 He'll get around to it.

00:49:48.000 He's doing Alzheimer's first, so, you know, gotta knock the big ones out.

00:49:51.000 That's like the kid running for class president.

00:49:52.000 And free ice cream sandwiches in the cafeteria.

00:49:55.000 Hey! 0.99

00:49:55.000 That's Tracy working on dementia, irritable bowel. 0.99

00:49:58.000 Strong, strong, yes.

00:49:59.000 You know, Omicron.

00:50:04.000 Nancy Pelosi's just rubbing her cologne.

00:50:08.000 Elderflower.

00:50:08.000 Whenever she hears about bodies burned, she turns into the gopher from Caddyshack.

00:50:12.000 Burn pit.

00:50:13.000 I'm alright.

00:50:15.000 Nobody worry about me.

00:50:17.000 I've got vodka in my blood.

00:50:19.000 I like to eat ice cream.

00:50:20.000 I'm alright. 0.98

00:50:22.000 She is a drunken floozy. 1.00

00:50:24.000 She really is a complete mess of a human being. 1.00

00:50:27.000 If my aunt did that at a party, I'd hit her. 1.00

00:50:32.000 What a gross person. 0.99

00:50:33.000 You mean you'd kick her out? 0.99

00:50:35.000 Yes.

00:50:35.000 Yeah.

00:50:36.000 Kick her out. 1.00

00:50:36.000 I'd kick her out. 1.00

00:50:37.000 Yes. 0.88

00:50:37.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.88

00:50:38.000 You would kick her out.

00:50:39.000 I'd walk her to her car and be like, oh did you trip?

00:50:42.000 Right into the hood.

00:50:43.000 I just saved you.

00:50:44.000 BAM! 0.98

00:50:45.000 Hold on, this door seems to be clicking. 0.99

00:50:47.000 You're such a klutz with those shoes. 0.98

00:50:50.000 Can you check the handle? 0.99

00:50:51.000 I'm gonna make this pencil disappear.

00:50:54.000 Oh, Auntie Pelosi, you fell.

00:50:56.000 Looks like you took a trip.

00:50:57.000 Looks like your little software company competing with Microsoft won't be getting off the ground.

00:51:04.000 Be a shame if something was to happen. 0.98

00:51:06.000 They are all bullies and thugs when you think about it. 0.99

00:51:08.000 Look at Pelosi's history. 0.98

00:51:09.000 Look at Kamala Harris, what she did when she jailed people. 1.00

00:51:12.000 She extended their sentences for non-violent drug offenses.

00:51:16.000 Look at former Vice President Joe Biden, who talked about what he was going to do with Ukraine.

00:51:21.000 It's like, you're not going to get this money.

00:51:23.000 It's just unreal.

00:51:25.000 You guys talk about racketeering.

00:51:28.000 Felonies have been committed and my point here is look don't think it's always funny to me like we've talked about with Pfizer and we heard in the Biden speech it was oh great vaccines and then oh horrible big pharma and then you have to go back to great vaccines.

00:51:42.000 For some reason now people who talk about campaign finance law and Citizens United and people complain about corporate interests Don't see the card game with Google, with Apple, with Twitter, with Facebook?

00:51:55.000 Do you really think that these same people who let the Ayatollah and Hamas and the Communist Chinese Party... By the way, the ambassador from China who said that the United States military created COVID.

00:52:07.000 In case you've forgotten that, these companies who allow that and ban Parler, a conservative app, and ban the sitting president of the United States, they do nothing with Communist China.

00:52:20.000 And right now they want you to go, oh, wow, look, well, they're really taking a stand, you know, really taking a stand here with Russia.

00:52:25.000 It's bold and brave.

00:52:26.000 It's about as brave as Benedict Cumberbatch's chaps. 0.95

00:52:30.000 Now... They're pretty brave.

00:52:32.000 And bold.

00:52:33.000 Well, the name brand was brave, but I thought they were Buffalo, turns out they were brave.

00:52:36.000 The wooly ones were bold, Grant.

00:52:38.000 The little ones were brave.

00:52:42.000 What is the net effect of this?

00:52:43.000 And we'll get to how this affects, unfortunately, the everyday Russian citizen. 1.00

00:52:45.000 But of course, one of the effects is people do stupid things. 0.99

00:52:47.000 Here's a bar owner pouring out Russian, not really, vodka. 0.99

00:52:51.000 So the Naughty Parrot Oasis owner says he did this.

00:52:54.000 We pulled any bottle that would have any tie to Russia.

00:52:57.000 So we pulled Smirnoff, Stoli, a couple Smirnoff flavors.

00:53:01.000 What if someone would say, like, Smirnoff is made in USA?

00:53:04.000 It is, but it's more of a symbolic gesture. 0.92

00:53:06.000 I'm kind of retarded. 0.84

00:53:08.000 From his beard to that, he has no original thoughts. 0.96

00:53:12.000 He wanted to pull anything that would have any kind of Russian tie to it.

00:53:15.000 I'm surprised he doesn't have dangly earlobes after the spacers, the dangly ones.

00:53:20.000 He's never just followed a trend in his life.

00:53:22.000 It's the naughty parrot bar.

00:53:25.000 It's so original. 0.96

00:53:26.000 How's that vampire weekend tattoo aging, you prick?

00:53:30.000 Can we get covered? 0.72

00:53:31.000 What?

00:53:32.000 We're of Montreal, but hey, what'd you do?

00:53:34.000 I'm sensitive about it!

00:53:35.000 Three years from now in the bar with his buddies.

00:53:38.000 What's that Imagine Dragons neck tattoo?

00:53:41.000 I can't get a job, it's bad enough!

00:53:43.000 It's purple and yellow now, it's for Ukraine. 0.99

00:53:45.000 I love Ukraine.

00:53:47.000 I'm in international studies now.

00:53:49.000 Do me a favor, point it out on a map.

00:53:52.000 If someone told you to be on Russia's side, you would have been. 0.97

00:53:55.000 Yes, exactly!

00:53:58.000 Also, he got rid of all Rocky IV DVDs.

00:54:00.000 Yes, he did.

00:54:00.000 That was made in America.

00:54:01.000 Yeah, but it had features.

00:54:02.000 There's a Russian guy in it.

00:54:03.000 Do you know your beard balm comes from Russia?

00:54:07.000 Yeah, but I can't be without.

00:54:08.000 Look, I'm making sacrifices, but I'm human.

00:54:11.000 Yeah, what about the six or seven hundred thousand barrels of oil we buy a day?

00:54:15.000 Well, I thought that we were getting green energy.

00:54:17.000 I don't need to worry about energy.

00:54:20.000 I drive a Tesla.

00:54:21.000 Oh, how do you charge it? 1.00

00:54:22.000 Son of a bitch! 1.00

00:54:23.000 So, I plug my car in and tell everyone how great I am. 1.00

00:54:26.000 Yes, and wait for four hours so I can go tell other people how great I am.

00:54:29.000 Yeah, and I tell everyone to do it, and if everyone actually followed my advice, we would have no electrical grid left.

00:54:33.000 Ah, yeah.

00:54:34.000 Did I say glid?

00:54:35.000 Grid.

00:54:36.000 I don't know.

00:54:36.000 I don't know what I said.

00:54:37.000 Yeah, your air conditioning and heat would go out every five minutes.

00:54:40.000 Right.

00:54:40.000 It'd be like Texas in an ice storm, only always.

00:54:43.000 Yes.

00:54:45.000 This is great, though.

00:54:46.000 The planet's not dying.

00:54:48.000 Ted Cruz just has a one-way to Cancun that time.

00:54:51.000 Joking!

00:54:52.000 Smart man!

00:54:55.000 Here are some other consequences.

00:54:56.000 The World Athletic Council, they didn't just ban Russian athletes.

00:54:59.000 You can understand that.

00:55:00.000 I think we should have banned Russian athletes, you know, for steroids. 1.00

00:55:05.000 Sorry, I mean government-assisted rampant steroid programs.

00:55:08.000 Systematic doping.

00:55:09.000 Yes, exactly.

00:55:11.000 It's almost like the Jetsons, you know, where the little duster comes out, only it's a syringe into a Russian athlete. 0.96

00:55:18.000 Now, they've also banned Belarusian athletes.

00:55:22.000 And here's the thing, the Ukrainian parliament, they tried to report that Belarusian troops invaded the Ukraine.

00:55:28.000 That's what they said.

00:55:29.000 And just like you've been talking about, there's misinformation on all sides.

00:55:32.000 Doesn't mean that our hearts are not with the people of the Ukraine.

00:55:34.000 Any innocent life lost is awful.

00:55:37.000 But it doesn't mean that the Ukrainian...

00:55:40.000 The Ukrainian government.

00:55:41.000 Yeah, because it's Ukraine, not the Ukraine, but the Ukrainian government.

00:55:44.000 Okay, don't get... Hold your comments.

00:55:47.000 You don't know the rules?

00:55:48.000 I mean, comment, because, you know, I always want you guys to comment, but I know people have said that I've said the Ukraine in the past.

00:55:53.000 I don't know why I've said that, but the Ukrainian government.

00:55:55.000 So, the Ukrainian government... Yeah.

00:55:58.000 Yes.

00:56:00.000 They reported that Belarusian troops invaded, right?

00:56:04.000 The U.S.

00:56:04.000 intelligence said no.

00:56:06.000 No evidence of that.

00:56:08.000 And then the Belarusian president said no.

00:56:12.000 So we don't necessarily know, but I'm going with probably no.

00:56:16.000 I mean, it's likely that that could happen and will happen, so that's the thing.

00:56:20.000 I don't know who to trust here.

00:56:21.000 I have no idea.

00:56:22.000 My own government right now, I'm like, I don't know, you guys said Russia collusion doc was A-OK.

00:56:28.000 And here's the real problem with this, too, is, well, there are quite a few problems.

00:56:31.000 But there's misinformation, yes.

00:56:33.000 And then Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, they're going to determine what is misinformation.

00:56:38.000 Hey, that's worked like a charm with, I mean, ever.

00:56:41.000 Point to any example.

00:56:42.000 Elections.

00:56:43.000 COVID.

00:56:45.000 The Russia story with Donald Trump.

00:56:47.000 The Hunter Biden story.

00:56:50.000 Right?

00:56:51.000 It's always been fantastic when you put the power of what information is allowed in the hands of, I don't know, four companies.

00:56:58.000 And Jen Psaki threatens them on the stage.

00:57:00.000 She's like, I'm not trying to affect private companies, but if you want to come to our wine mixer, looking at you, looking at you, whatever the guy's name is at Apple who's not Steve Jobs.

00:57:10.000 What's his name?

00:57:10.000 I always forget his name.

00:57:11.000 The new guys.

00:57:12.000 Tim Cook.

00:57:13.000 Ah, the one without the... The soulless prostate. 0.98

00:57:16.000 The one who they're hiring for that new godforsaken western.

00:57:20.000 It's just Tim Cook and Brian Stelter on a waterbed.

00:57:23.000 Pete Buttigieg is ready to sign on.

00:57:26.000 That's the Secretary of Transportation.

00:57:28.000 That's the kind of secretary you don't want bringing your coffee in the morning. 1.00

00:57:33.000 Very loud on the western back.

00:57:35.000 No creamer.

00:57:36.000 Very sticky.

00:57:37.000 Now, they've also had bans on Russian businesses.

00:57:42.000 And let me get to kind of the danger here.

00:57:44.000 So, Nike online sales, Disney film releases, UPS and FedEx shipments, Visa, MasterCard, network access.

00:57:51.000 That's kind of a big one.

00:57:52.000 Apple and Google Pay.

00:57:54.000 It may not seem like a big deal, but a lot of services in Russia, for example, the Moscow Metro, runs on these services.

00:58:02.000 Wait a minute, but how will Nike make a profit from slaves?

00:58:06.000 Well, they'll do it everywhere else. 0.59

00:58:07.000 Oh no, Dave, they still have their stuff made in China.

00:58:10.000 They're fine.

00:58:10.000 Oh, good.

00:58:11.000 Exactly.

00:58:11.000 As long as children are still making my shoes, I'm gonna sleep well tonight.

00:58:15.000 And your phones, so that people can be banned from the App Store on it.

00:58:19.000 Yes, I just want to make sure that childs... How about this?

00:58:22.000 I got an idea.

00:58:23.000 U.S.

00:58:24.000 company.

00:58:24.000 If you're making stuff in Russia right now, you really want to show us that you care.

00:58:28.000 If you're making stuff in Russia, I don't think you should do this, but don't go halfway. 0.91

00:58:31.000 We'll talk about it in a second.

00:58:33.000 Close your plant in Russia.

00:58:34.000 Yeah.

00:58:34.000 You're not going to do that.

00:58:35.000 You're just going to keep doing stuff in China and be like, well, we're not going to sell to Russia.

00:58:38.000 That plant would be converted into making AKs so fast it'll make your head spin. 0.87

00:58:42.000 So fast, yes.

00:58:43.000 It's like, oh, I see.

00:58:44.000 This used to make bouncy hop for children parties.

00:58:47.000 Now it is ammo.

00:58:48.000 Yes, we have guns with 23 on them.

00:58:50.000 That's true. 0.97

00:58:51.000 Yes, we shoot. 0.95

00:58:53.000 Our guns are not made to tie tolerances, but they are good for killing children. 0.96

00:58:56.000 Fires two, three times.

00:58:58.000 Being on a wire hurts hands.

00:59:00.000 These laces are kind of nice.

00:59:03.000 Some sanctions make sense, okay?

00:59:05.000 Right?

00:59:05.000 It makes it hard to finance war.

00:59:06.000 I understand that.

00:59:07.000 But why?

00:59:08.000 These kinds of sanctions go after the average Russian citizen.

00:59:13.000 So who's affected by it?

00:59:14.000 Well, we know here in the United States, who's affected by these energy, just absolute quagmires?

00:59:20.000 When we're talking about Nord Stream 2, we're talking about shutting down our own pipelines here, right?

00:59:24.000 Fracking.

00:59:24.000 When we're talking about the, I keep forgetting the name of that pipeline.

00:59:27.000 Keystone?

00:59:27.000 Keystone.

00:59:28.000 Just think of terrible beer.

00:59:29.000 Think of Keith Stone!

00:59:31.000 Excuse me?

00:59:33.000 Who's affected?

00:59:34.000 Americans.

00:59:36.000 Former Vice President Joe Biden, he even said that!

00:59:38.000 He even said that in his speech.

00:59:39.000 It affects you, the Americans, when you look at a lot of these sanctions, when you look at a lot of these policies.

00:59:44.000 Well, who does this affect?

00:59:45.000 Joe Biden said he was going after oligarchs!

00:59:49.000 By shutting out Apple and Google Pay and Visa and MasterCard access?

00:59:53.000 Do any of you actually believe that that only affects the multi-billionaire oligarchs?

00:59:58.000 No!

00:59:59.000 It affects the average day Russian citizen.

01:00:00.000 And here is my worry.

01:00:01.000 You either need to... This is basically an act of war without declaring war.

01:00:06.000 This is an act of war without declaring war.

01:00:08.000 And I think you either go into war or you have nothing to do with it.

01:00:13.000 I do think it's pretty black and... This is where a gray area is counterproductive.

01:00:19.000 Creating sanctions?

01:00:20.000 Okay, I understand creating sanctions, so maybe it makes it tougher to fight, but creating crippling economic sanctions for the government and for its people while, by the way, doing nothing, nothing to curtail the relationship that's growing with Russia and China?

01:00:36.000 So you're not going after the head of the beast.

01:00:39.000 You're not even going after the beast.

01:00:40.000 You're going after the citizens who have nothing to do with it.

01:00:43.000 So I don't know what the play is here.

01:00:44.000 Maybe you can fill me in.

01:00:46.000 You can comment below.

01:00:47.000 It's very hard for me to see the point of view.

01:00:50.000 I guess maybe they're hoping that the Russian citizens, or that there will be dissent, that they'll rise up against their government.

01:00:57.000 Obviously very unlikely because they could be killed, but there's also another possibility.

01:01:01.000 They just hate the American West.

01:01:03.000 We've seen this happen before.

01:01:05.000 This is the problem sometimes with wanting to spread democracy to places that don't really want it.

01:01:12.000 That power vacuum by Saddam Hussein, that was filled like a charm! 0.99

01:01:15.000 Oh yeah, it worked out well. 0.97

01:01:17.000 Look, sanctions can sometimes work if they're done thoughtfully and not when you're dealing with a madman like Putin. 0.95

01:01:22.000 And I say madman because he's a madman and everybody's thinking like, oh, he's just acting reasonably based on what he's trying to do. 0.97

01:01:29.000 And I get that, but what he's trying to do is mad. 0.94

01:01:32.000 That's my point.

01:01:33.000 Pranking more.

01:01:34.000 A little upset sometimes.

01:01:34.000 So if you sanction somebody like that, you have to understand, one, they've probably thought, OK, when I do this, they're going to do that.

01:01:40.000 They play chess in Russia.

01:01:41.000 Have you ever heard of it?

01:01:42.000 Then he's going to prepare for that.

01:01:44.000 And like we've said, China all too willing to try and pick up the slack.

01:01:49.000 All too willing.

01:01:49.000 And so all you're going to do is push him to a point where he has to make a decision.

01:01:53.000 Citizens are going to come to him at some point and be upset and try to topple him.

01:02:00.000 He knows that.

01:02:01.000 What do they typically do?

01:02:02.000 Send more police forces into the streets to make sure you quell any dissenters.

01:02:07.000 I don't know if that's the case, though.

01:02:09.000 I think they might be upset with the Americans.

01:02:10.000 They might become upset with the American West.

01:02:11.000 Because he might go to them and say, look, the American West won't let, because of former Vice President Biden, your diners club no longer work.

01:02:20.000 Yeah, but he'll make that argument and it'll work for a minute.

01:02:23.000 But then people will just get pissed off that life sucks now and that the government isn't making the payments that they're supposed to make and take care of you with those bread lines that we know are so fantastic.

01:02:31.000 That's a good thing.

01:02:32.000 They're not going to be able to do it and then eventually they're going to come for his head.

01:02:35.000 That's what happens.

01:02:36.000 Not always.

01:02:37.000 Sometimes they don't.

01:02:39.000 Sometimes before they come for his head, they see it as a benevolent authoritarian government, and they think that he'll protect them.

01:02:45.000 And right now, especially when he's sort of presenting that he's looking out for Russia's national interest, which, by the way, to a degree he is.

01:02:52.000 I understand his perspective.

01:02:54.000 They might say, okay, this is our champion.

01:02:57.000 This is the problem when you have the United States meddling.

01:02:59.000 When the United States is going in, and these sanctions do not affect Putin.

01:03:02.000 These sanctions do not affect his rich buddies.

01:03:04.000 These sanctions affect the average day Russians who are trying to get on the subway.

01:03:07.000 They're trying to get on their metro.

01:03:09.000 That's a problem.

01:03:10.000 That's a problem because not only does it drive the Russian government into the arms of China, which is a problem internationally, just to keep... Again, keep your eye on China and Taiwan.

01:03:18.000 Just so you know, if I seem like I'm a non-interventionist, I believe if a single missile is fired at Taiwan from China, it needs to be the most swift and violent military action from the United States that, well, It's not been seen since World War II and our Navy needs to be right on their shores. 0.74

01:03:34.000 Completely.

01:03:35.000 It needs to be 100% all in with Taiwan and China. 0.92

01:03:39.000 And I think that we're going that way.

01:03:41.000 My worry is not Russia.

01:03:42.000 My worry is China.

01:03:43.000 But we've done nothing!

01:03:45.000 We've done nothing to make them less powerful on the world stage.

01:03:50.000 If anything, we've made them more powerful by allowing them to be on all of these social media apps.

01:03:55.000 They're so emboldened right now that they're doing the heavy lifting for the Russian government, right?

01:03:59.000 They're the ones going out condemning Americans for sanctions.

01:04:02.000 So Russia says, oh, our Russia Today can't have a YouTube channel.

01:04:07.000 Meanwhile, the Chinese ambassador, ambassador is whatever the role is, Xi Jinping, they can go out and say whatever they want, condemning the United States, supporting Russia and the Russian citizens.

01:04:16.000 That's what they have access to, is that information.

01:04:18.000 This is not a good situation. 1.00

01:04:20.000 You either need to go in, war is, go in, break shit, take the shit that you didn't break. 0.99

01:04:26.000 That's the only reason to go into war. 0.99

01:04:28.000 And usually, that person should be an undesirable person.

01:04:32.000 But that's not always how it's been.

01:04:34.000 Sometimes it's just because you want to take their stuff.

01:04:36.000 Just to be clear, we're the first world superpower.

01:04:38.000 Do you know that? 1.00

01:04:40.000 Do you think the English Empire, do you think the Ottomans would have stood for Canada's shit? 1.00

01:04:45.000 They were the Ottomans. 1.00

01:04:46.000 They didn't stand.

01:04:48.000 The English only became an empire because they did take all of the other stuff.

01:04:51.000 Right!

01:04:53.000 And if the French had won a war in the last 9,000 years, they'd do the same thing.

01:05:00.000 Look at the English Empire.

01:05:01.000 Look at the Turks. 1.00

01:05:01.000 Look at any empire. 1.00

01:05:03.000 Look at Genghis Khan.

01:05:06.000 Any of them.

01:05:06.000 The Show Empire.

01:05:08.000 Well, they were growing until Jussie Smollett.

01:05:10.000 That's what I mean.

01:05:11.000 But if you look at any empire, you can look at a map, and it grows very quickly.

01:05:16.000 And I mean monthly.

01:05:17.000 Certainly yearly.

01:05:19.000 How long has the United States pretty much been the same border?

01:05:22.000 And I know you guys can talk about continental United States.

01:05:26.000 Canada's a bigger landmass than the United States.

01:05:28.000 It is unlike any other empire that's ever existed.

01:05:31.000 By the way, we also have the ability to go take over stuff overseas.

01:05:35.000 Do you know that?

01:05:36.000 You think Russia would actually stand a chance?

01:05:39.000 Think about this for a second.

01:05:41.000 You think Italy?

01:05:42.000 Ireland?

01:05:44.000 No, we don't do that because we're not the kind of empire that, by the way, established these other countries.

01:05:49.000 This is something people don't understand.

01:05:51.000 And this is, for me, not only war, but I would like to hear you, because the stream was really long on the night of the State of the Union, but this is something I feel very strongly about.

01:06:02.000 And I know people will say it's harsh.

01:06:03.000 Some of you might disagree with me.

01:06:04.000 I'd like to hear your comments below.

01:06:06.000 NATO.

01:06:07.000 I think the NATO spending increased $50 billion under Trump for the first time.

01:06:10.000 The reason why is NATO, right, the promise if you join NATO, is you spend 2% of your GDP on effectively, you know, military that's available to NATO.

01:06:19.000 That's a simplified version.

01:06:20.000 All references are available at lateralscouter.com.

01:06:22.000 The United States, I believe, I'm going by rote, put in 3.4% and there were only two other countries, I believe it was Greece and one other country that put in more than 2%.

01:06:30.000 A lot of people were under 1%.

01:06:33.000 Now the whole idea of NATO, Is everybody saying, OK, we all agree, right?

01:06:38.000 We want to make sure that we stop this threat.

01:06:40.000 So we're in this collectively.

01:06:41.000 We all agree that this is the amount that we will pay in.

01:06:44.000 OK, that's fair.

01:06:45.000 They didn't pay in!

01:06:48.000 As far as I'm concerned, because you talked about when they attack another NATO country, that's my line with Russia. 0.66

01:06:52.000 That's your line.

01:06:52.000 That's a lot of people's line.

01:06:54.000 Yeah.

01:06:55.000 That was Lane's line with Russia.

01:06:56.000 You know what my line is? 1.00

01:06:58.000 If they attack another country whose tab is 100% paid in full in NATO, you don't get to say that you're a part of NATO, which is really just by proxy going to the United States saying, please, please, please help us if you didn't pay for your shit. 0.99

01:07:12.000 How about that? 0.98

01:07:12.000 You talk about how internet is a human right in Germany and all these European countries socialize healthcare. 0.98

01:07:18.000 Well, I'm really glad that you're able to pay for your frivolities because the United States pays more than all of you combined.

01:07:24.000 We should not be protecting any NATO country.

01:07:28.000 And I don't mean starts paying 2% from here on out.

01:07:30.000 No.

01:07:30.000 Pay your tab from all of history!

01:07:33.000 Or you're out.

01:07:34.000 Are you starting to get the picture?

01:07:37.000 You mean you're okay if they take over Latvia?

01:07:39.000 Yep! 0.80

01:07:40.000 I'm okay if they take over any country that has not paid their share.

01:07:44.000 No, I think that's a fair point.

01:07:45.000 That basically means that we'll only go in to protect Greece.

01:07:48.000 Yeah.

01:07:48.000 I mean, when the other country in the world that's a superpower is picking up the heavy tabs and you're just like, oh, we're just going to take care of our citizens and make sure that they get all the free stuff they want.

01:07:56.000 Listen, we're not the people with the problem with Russia.

01:07:59.000 We weren't the people with the problem with Germany.

01:08:01.000 There's a reason that we came to your aid.

01:08:03.000 Yes, we don't want these things to happen.

01:08:05.000 Well, eventually.

01:08:06.000 I mean, we let it happen for a minute.

01:08:08.000 Germany by way of Japan!

01:08:10.000 Well, we were going that way anyway.

01:08:12.000 We were just super isolationist at the time.

01:08:14.000 Does it feel familiar right now?

01:08:16.000 We're getting very, very, very isolationist in what we should get involved in and what we shouldn't.

01:08:20.000 And I get it.

01:08:20.000 I understand why.

01:08:21.000 But that's not the world that we live in.

01:08:22.000 The world that we can just sit on the sidelines and let stuff happen anywhere.

01:08:26.000 You're right, though.

01:08:26.000 If we do form these agreements, you gotta live up to them or we're not coming.

01:08:30.000 Sorry.

01:08:31.000 If you're not doing your job, I'm not doing mine.

01:08:35.000 How beneficial is NATO to the United States?

01:08:38.000 Honestly.

01:08:40.000 Genuinely, what does the United States get out of NATO?

01:08:43.000 You think we need you?

01:08:46.000 Think about this for a second.

01:08:48.000 No.

01:08:49.000 They entirely benefit from the United States.

01:08:51.000 Really, there doesn't need to be a NATO if we're going to go into every country every time there's a war that you guys don't like.

01:08:57.000 Just have the United States military!

01:08:59.000 You know what?

01:08:59.000 Just pay us directly then.

01:09:00.000 How about that?

01:09:01.000 Pay us! 0.93

01:09:01.000 Like we're a sole proprietorship, we're an independent contractor, we're the Suge Knight of the world and we'll dangle Putin over a balcony like vanilla ice. 0.93

01:09:08.000 Just pay us! 1.00

01:09:09.000 Don't create this house of cards, this shell game like, oh, NATO, international defense. 1.00

01:09:15.000 It's bullshit! 0.96

01:09:16.000 The only reason that these other countries in the modern world, anytime you point to an example of a successful socialist model, which by the way isn't actually socialist like Denmark or the Nordic model, it only exists because of the veil of protection provided by the United States. 0.99

01:09:33.000 And I think that veil of protection needs to be removed because guess what?

01:09:37.000 We'll be fine.

01:09:38.000 We will be fine.

01:09:39.000 Some of these other countries won't be, and it's time for you guys to start picking up the tab.

01:09:43.000 It's time for you guys to start paying for your own defense. 0.99

01:09:45.000 It's time for you guys to stop mocking the United States and looking down your nose when you provide a bunch of free shit to your citizens because your military is just a bunch of guys in tugboats with shotguns. 0.99

01:09:54.000 How about that? 0.99

01:09:56.000 Speaking of this, here's a clip from Sean Hannity who just said something that I think is very silly about the Russian convoy that's approaching Kiev.

01:10:06.000 This is the kind of, and I don't think Sean Hannity's a bad guy, don't get me wrong, but it's the kind of mindset that gets us into Iraq. 0.98

01:10:17.000 You know, if we can see on satellite imagery where the convoy is, I don't know, maybe some smart country, maybe NATO might take some of their fighter jets, or maybe they can use some drone strikes and take out the whole damn convoy. 0.84

01:10:33.000 And then nobody takes credit for it. 0.89

01:10:35.000 So then Putin won't know who to hit.

01:10:37.000 Yeah, I'm sure Putin will leave it at that.

01:10:40.000 It'll be a mystery.

01:10:41.000 He won't know who takes credit for it.

01:10:42.000 Yeah, nobody will have any idea in this day and age who did it.

01:10:45.000 I don't know.

01:10:45.000 They just blew up.

01:10:47.000 Like Jackson Pollock not putting his signature on it?

01:10:49.000 I guess we'll never know.

01:10:50.000 No clue.

01:10:52.000 No idea.

01:10:53.000 You foo-pooed in the game.

01:10:55.000 Well, I'll go back to my very long table in Seoul for crying out loud.

01:11:00.000 Do you have any idea how misguided that is?

01:11:04.000 No.

01:11:05.000 Just commit an act of war, commit an act of war, and don't take credit for it, and I'm pretty sure that tomorrow will be a better day. 0.98

01:11:13.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:11:14.000 That just pisses people off more.

01:11:17.000 Don't go into war unless you plan to win.

01:11:20.000 Has anyone asked, what does a win look like?

01:11:23.000 And I know where you're, but even you, Gerald, because you're not as non-interventionist as I am, what does a win look like if we get involved in this conflict?

01:11:31.000 Because to me, the only win is we have Russia's oil, And they start speaking English and we convert them to 1.00

01:11:36.000 Christianity.

01:11:37.000 And I know they're technically not a Christian nation, but not really.

01:11:40.000 Oh, a win. You know, the hard part is that you don't know what long term this country would look

01:11:45.000 like, Russia, right? So a win for me is that they know that if they get aggressive with any of those

01:11:50.000 countries and just try to take over another country, that NATO will stand up and keep them back.

01:11:55.000 That's a win for me.

01:11:56.000 Not America getting involved, but NATO.

01:11:59.000 Look, Sean Hannity's point is not without merit.

01:12:01.000 That if there's a convoy coming, somebody needs to take them out.

01:12:03.000 That needs to be Ukraine in this situation. 0.89

01:12:05.000 Or, if NATO is prepared and ready to go, and I know we're a part of it, then yes, NATO, go take it out, but don't stop there.

01:12:13.000 Get all of their forces out of Ukraine and show Putin this is not going to happen.

01:12:18.000 Otherwise you're just gonna piss him off more and Ukraine's citizens are gonna die. 1.00

01:12:21.000 Which is what's happening right now. 0.70

01:12:22.000 I think it's better to just starve out Ukraine's citizens. 1.00

01:12:26.000 And then see if we can wait for as long as possible for them to build a super duper power. 0.78

01:12:30.000 Ah!

01:12:31.000 Yep.

01:12:31.000 Yes.

01:12:32.000 See how long it takes for them to make a cup foods.

01:12:34.000 Well, you never know if this is the first step towards, like, something bigger, or if this is just the extent of the action.

01:12:39.000 I think that's the hard part here, too.

01:12:41.000 Oh, I think it's bigger.

01:12:42.000 It usually is, but they've gone into Georgia. 0.99

01:12:43.000 But here's the thing, if it is bigger, the people in power right now don't give a shit, because what does bigger mean? 0.99

01:12:48.000 It means China and Taiwan. 0.99

01:12:50.000 They can't address that.

01:12:52.000 Biden can't address that.

01:12:53.000 Google, Facebook, YouTube, Apple cannot address that.

01:12:57.000 They can't address it.

01:12:58.000 So if this is bigger, fine.

01:13:01.000 But then tell us what bigger is, and tell us what a win is.

01:13:04.000 This is where I think Americans have a problem with this sort of foreign policy.

01:13:09.000 People say policing the world, and I know we're not really doing any.

01:13:13.000 We haven't taken military action against Russia yet.

01:13:16.000 But it's basically a declaration of war without declaring war when you're starving out citizens, you're squeezing them from daily life.

01:13:23.000 And then, if we're a part of NATO that basically only benefits from our membership, and you attack a convoy and not take credit for it, as Sean Hannity says... Well, what did you think happened, my top oligarch advisors?

01:13:36.000 We don't know.

01:13:37.000 Good enough for me?

01:13:38.000 They didn't call and say they were coming.

01:13:40.000 Yes, you normally do.

01:13:41.000 Well, that's rude.

01:13:43.000 Was that you?

01:13:44.000 Could have been you.

01:13:46.000 I've heard of fashionably late, but lots of people are dying!

01:13:49.000 Ah, they knocked and ran.

01:13:50.000 This is not how international diplomacy should be handled. 0.99

01:13:54.000 I killed that person, my tea was cold. 0.50

01:13:59.000 A win to me is Russia no longer exists as Russia. 0.98

01:14:02.000 They are no longer powerful, period, okay?

01:14:05.000 And China stepped down and we basically eliminate any kind of a threat with Taiwan.

01:14:11.000 That's a win. 1.00

01:14:12.000 Break their shit, take what we want. 1.00

01:14:13.000 The oil is ours. 1.00

01:14:15.000 Why are we shutting down our own oil reserves?

01:14:20.000 And I know now Nord Stream 2 was shut down after Europe decided to do it and Biden was like, yeah, put my name on there.

01:14:26.000 There's no reason for war unless it benefits this country.

01:14:28.000 And by the way, there's no reason for us to be in NATO unless it benefits this country.

01:14:31.000 NATO is great in practice.

01:14:32.000 I certainly don't think we should be in the UN.

01:14:34.000 But I think we put a pause on all our NATO spending until everybody else catches up. 0.99

01:14:38.000 Certainly if they want to do stupid things like fire a missile at a convoy and not take credit for it and act like they're Patton. 0.98

01:14:47.000 I think there's no perfect solution. 0.99

01:14:48.000 That's the hard part here.

01:14:50.000 No, there was actually.

01:14:51.000 It was going over and talking to the guy, letting him know where you stood and letting him know there were eyes on him.

01:14:56.000 Yeah, but it's true though.

01:14:59.000 I mean, there was a solution in the sense of at least you were able to keep business as usual.

01:15:04.000 Yes.

01:15:04.000 Instead, this guy comes out, completely ignores him, which is going to piss off any megalomaniac.

01:15:09.000 Yeah.

01:15:11.000 And then, every way that he handled this is wrong.

01:15:13.000 He turned his back to a guy who was completely insane, and this is the result of it.

01:15:18.000 You don't back someone into a corner unless you're going to eliminate them.

01:15:21.000 Exactly.

01:15:22.000 If you back them into a corner, and then you're just like, huh?

01:15:24.000 Huh?

01:15:24.000 Eventually... I like that corner!

01:15:26.000 Exactly!

01:15:28.000 I don't!

01:15:29.000 I don't!

01:15:29.000 Yeah?

01:15:29.000 How do you like that corner?

01:15:31.000 Stop! 1.00

01:15:31.000 Why do you keep saying this? 1.00

01:15:32.000 I don't like corner!

01:15:33.000 I can't sit at long tables!

01:15:34.000 I told you!

01:15:35.000 Corner is unpleasant!

01:15:36.000 Do you like it?

01:15:37.000 No!

01:15:37.000 Stop saying that!

01:15:38.000 I already said I don't like it!

01:15:40.000 You're saying the opposite of what I say!

01:15:42.000 Hey! 0.99

01:15:43.000 Why you do?

01:15:44.000 Why are you hitting yourself, Putin?

01:15:46.000 I'm not!

01:15:47.000 I'm not!

01:15:47.000 You're using my hand!

01:15:48.000 This is not!

01:15:49.000 This is you!

01:15:50.000 Ah!

01:15:50.000 Stop it!

01:15:52.000 That's not me!

01:15:53.000 Everyone for record, he is hitting me with my own hand!

01:15:58.000 Got your nose.

01:15:58.000 You give them back my nose!

01:16:01.000 Yeah, he at least felt some level of dignity and power, and I'm not saying that he deserves that, but you kind of want that in another leader.

01:16:08.000 Exactly.

01:16:09.000 So they don't go crazy and start murdering people.

01:16:12.000 Why back him into a corner in the international theater?

01:16:15.000 Think about that for a second.

01:16:16.000 I mean, I hate to use this because everyone acts as though there's somehow this brilliant military strategist when they quote Sun Tzu, but he's not wrong.

01:16:27.000 Says, build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across, right?

01:16:30.000 That's one of the tenets of wars.

01:16:31.000 You need to give them an out.

01:16:33.000 And I think if our goal here is ending the conflict while minimizing the amount of life lost to as little as possible.

01:16:44.000 And sometimes that's unpleasant.

01:16:46.000 For example, do you know what minimized lost life in World War II?

01:16:50.000 Dropping the A-bomb. 0.99

01:16:52.000 A lot of people don't like that.

01:16:53.000 It was going to go to a land war.

01:16:56.000 So if minimizing the loss of life here means wiping out someone who you think is a genuine international threat, then wipe them out.

01:17:04.000 But, if it's not, I get it, our heart all breaks for people of the Ukraine.

01:17:10.000 However, You have to decide.

01:17:13.000 You really do have to decide if you are all in or all out, because life will be lost no matter what.

01:17:17.000 You have to look at how can we minimize the amounts of life lost.

01:17:21.000 And by the way, going forward, we absolutely need to tear a page from... That's one thing I noticed from the State of the Union address.

01:17:27.000 He did not want to do the Trump's fault, Trump's fault, Trump's fault.

01:17:30.000 You know why?

01:17:30.000 Because no one would buy it.

01:17:31.000 Would anyone actually buy it for a second?

01:17:34.000 That former Vice President Joe Biden is tougher on China?

01:17:36.000 Would anyone actually buy for a second that Russia was acting up more under Trump than they are right now?

01:17:40.000 Would anybody actually believe for a second that Trump weakened NATO?

01:17:45.000 Of course not!

01:17:48.000 And that's what we need to do going forward.

01:17:50.000 We need to be firm going forward.

01:17:51.000 We need to make sure that people in NATO pay their fair share.

01:17:54.000 Oh, but that's mean!

01:17:55.000 You're paying 0.6% of your GDP while we pay 3.4%. 0.99

01:17:59.000 Now you start getting your ass kicked and we're supposed to come in and save you? 1.00

01:18:03.000 You're lucky we don't break your thumbs! 1.00

01:18:06.000 That's just mean.

01:18:08.000 Right, but the point... It would, though.

01:18:09.000 Vinny would.

01:18:10.000 The point would be made.

01:18:11.000 Alright, you know what?

01:18:12.000 We have a lot to get to here on Chat Thursday.

01:18:13.000 Go to lotto.com slash tour.

01:18:15.000 Dave and I are on tour and he's going to be at Hartford Funnybone.
