00:01:03.000 In cities across America, they whisper his name.

00:02:56.000 I I

00:03:00.000 I I

00:03:04.000 I Okay, I'm not out of breath

00:03:35.000 I just had to run out and run back in.

00:03:38.000 Well, you know this.

00:03:38.000 Really?

00:03:39.000 I was saying for you watching here right now, I had to run out and I ran back in.

00:03:43.000 This is a big show.

00:03:45.000 I was watching CNN, sorry.

00:03:46.000 I was just engrossed.

00:03:47.000 Wow, I'm amazed that you're still awake.

00:03:50.000 We're going to be talking about seeing, I don't know, is Brian Stelter going to be fired?

00:03:53.000 What?

00:03:54.000 According to Brian Stelter.

00:03:55.000 Ooh, fingers crossed.

00:03:56.000 So, we have a lot to get to today.

00:03:58.000 Look, Russia, Ukraine, I know it's one of those situations where you feel like there can be overload.

00:04:02.000 Yeah, you can just leave it over there, Angela.

00:04:03.000 Thank you, appreciate it.

00:04:04.000 You feel like it's overload, but there is something going on right now that is concerning.

00:04:08.000 A lot of people missing.

00:04:09.000 We're going to be talking about it.

00:04:10.000 Is driving Russia into the arms of China, who, by the way, are not natural allies. 0.69

00:04:15.000 If you don't wipe someone out militarily, I'm not saying we should, but you just put on these economic sanctions, we kind of know what happens if you try to browbeat someone on the international stage economically.

00:04:25.000 Yeah, especially somebody like Putin.

00:04:26.000 Treaty of Versailles?

00:04:27.000 Not well, come on.

00:04:29.000 They had to pay it back.

00:04:29.000 Journey of Versailles?

00:04:32.000 They take it seriously.

00:04:33.000 They take it seriously.

00:04:35.000 But of course, this is Trump's fault, if you hear Mitt Romney tell her.

00:04:37.000 Well, sure.

00:04:37.000 Yep, Mitt Romney.

00:04:39.000 Useless to the left and the right. 0.99

00:04:40.000 So we'll be talking about that.

00:04:41.000 Also be talking about the fact that, well, Brian Stelter's going to be fired.

00:04:45.000 And I don't know if you know this, but they're developing a vaccine that can spread.

00:04:48.000 A contagious vaccine.

00:04:50.000 Yeah.

00:04:51.000 So let me ask you this.

00:04:54.000 Best thing you can do for the algorithm, if you're watching this archive, is comment below.

00:04:59.000 So question of the day.

00:05:00.000 We're going to have a few of them today.

00:05:01.000 Do you think Russia will ever actually use nuclear weapons?

00:05:04.000 Do you think there's any intent or do you think it's bluffing?

00:05:07.000 This is something that people are discussing right now and they... Look, I think you know the answer, but apparently they don't on CNN.

00:05:13.000 You have 15 different voices on this morning with 15 different opinions.

00:05:16.000 Well, of course.

00:05:17.000 I think maybe accidentally on themselves could be an answer, so... 0.99

00:05:20.000 They were like, oh, we launched at Ukraine, crap. 0.97

00:05:20.000 Right. 0.97

00:05:23.000 Oh, we shouldn't have used Acme Nuke.

00:05:26.000 It just come right back to us.

00:05:28.000 I live long enough.

00:05:29.000 Did not have warranty service plan.

00:05:31.000 I live to ripe old age of 38, which in this area is very good.

00:05:36.000 We live on vodka in Gdansk.

00:05:38.000 Yes, it's for reincarnations for Russians. 1.00

00:05:40.000 We got to Chernobyl, we're like, oh, can we go in?

00:05:43.000 Is it really that bad?

00:05:45.000 Does my thyroid look swollen?

00:05:48.000 Just ask my twin, he's behind me, literally.

00:05:50.000 Yes, yes, we are attached.

00:05:52.000 I'll turn around.

00:05:53.000 I've never seen back to- I've never seen stomach to spine twin.

00:05:56.000 We have many in Russia.

00:05:59.000 So best thing you can do, by the way, too, is if we're not allowed on YouTube anymore, especially as we talk about the vaccines today, that's one of those touchy subjects.

00:06:05.000 Right.

00:06:06.000 You can tune in on Rumble or Mug Club live Monday through Thursday at 10 a.m.

00:06:11.000 Eastern.

00:06:12.000 Nothing will make me happier than to see you go over there.

00:06:14.000 We have another hour of show today.

00:06:15.000 Also tomorrow, live fact-checking the State of the Union address.

00:06:19.000 No idea how long that will be.

00:06:20.000 Right, so we won't be there in the morning tomorrow, but we'll do the evening show.

00:06:23.000 Right.

00:06:23.000 We won't be doing it in the morning.

00:06:24.000 Not doing double duty!

00:06:25.000 Come on, guys!

00:06:25.000 No, and I think there might be something going up Wednesday morning that's a pretty in-depth video about, uh... We'll see, yeah.

00:06:30.000 Yeah, we don't necessarily know.

00:06:32.000 What?

00:06:34.000 Don't worry, it's about your background, Dave.

00:06:35.000 Okay, I'll tease it for you.

00:06:38.000 I have no idea how what was written by me under an alias as a clear parody was accepted as academic research, but it was, and we have it all filmed.

00:06:50.000 That's better. 0.98

00:06:51.000 And it's the silliest crap you could possibly imagine. 0.99

00:06:53.000 Just in case you had any faith left in the institution of higher education. 0.98

00:06:56.000 So I don't know if this is going up Wednesday, but it's an undercover thing.

00:06:58.000 Whenever it goes up, period. 0.99

00:07:00.000 Either way, we're getting sued by an angry, fat, lesbian whale. 1.00

00:07:03.000 Which one? 0.99

00:07:07.000 You mean the entire Schenectady College professor list?

00:07:12.000 Take a number, ladies. 1.00

00:07:14.000 Oh, before I go, Gerald, how are you?

00:07:15.000 I'm well, how are you?

00:07:16.000 I'm doing fine, I'm good, and Dave Landau is here, you know him, you love him.

00:07:21.000 How are you, sir?

00:07:21.000 Good, man, how about you?

00:07:23.000 A little less sleep, but I'm good.

00:07:25.000 All right.

00:07:26.000 You don't ever sleep.

00:07:26.000 What happens?

00:07:28.000 Why do you sound like I don't sleep?

00:07:29.000 I know, it's a problem.

00:07:29.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:07:30.000 It should be normal.

00:07:31.000 You should just say, I slept, if it's something new.

00:07:33.000 Yes, exactly.

00:07:34.000 If it's atypical.

00:07:35.000 Just update us.

00:07:36.000 You could be like, oh, I slept eight hours.

00:07:37.000 It was crazy.

00:07:38.000 You'd be like, what?

00:07:39.000 Or it's like, I slept three hours from the shakes and night terrors.

00:07:42.000 We're like, we know.

00:07:43.000 Yeah, normal.

00:07:43.000 Oh, you know what?

00:07:44.000 Unmuggable talk.

00:07:44.000 I used to get really bad, like, actual night terrors.

00:07:46.000 Did you really?

00:07:47.000 Oh, yeah.

00:07:48.000 Yep.

00:07:48.000 Really bad night terrors.

00:07:49.000 I haven't had them in a while.

00:07:50.000 I don't know.

00:07:52.000 Did Credence play in your helicopters?

00:07:54.000 Yes!

00:07:55.000 No, I just had a night terror that I was perpetually at a Creed concert.

00:07:59.000 Oh, no.

00:08:00.000 With my mouth open, I'm like, stop!

00:08:02.000 Was it like out-of-body crowd surfing?

00:08:03.000 Right, yes.

00:08:04.000 You couldn't wake up?

00:08:05.000 My wife had to take the gun away at that point in time. 1.00

00:08:07.000 That is hell on earth.

00:08:08.000 Take the gun away because even in the night terror you can still hit the palm safe.

00:08:11.000 You go to shoot, it's just another cord.

00:08:17.000 Like this end of the scene in The Mist.

00:08:19.000 Can you take me higher?

00:08:21.000 Yeah, you hold the R longer.

00:08:23.000 Yes.

00:08:26.000 It's the worst gun ever.

00:08:29.000 Almost as bad as our Nuke.

00:08:30.000 Where is the Nuke?

00:08:32.000 We need stricter manufacturing standards.

00:08:34.000 Where's Creed Nuke?

00:08:35.000 We've said no more Creed Kalashnikovs. 1.00

00:08:38.000 Creed Nuke or Bush Nuke?

00:08:38.000 What you want?

00:08:39.000 Both sound the same.

00:08:41.000 We also have Nickelback Moab.

00:08:43.000 Yes.

00:08:44.000 Don't want to do that.

00:08:45.000 That's too much.

00:08:46.000 No, no, no.

00:08:46.000 Put audio sleeve revolver back.

00:08:48.000 I don't like Ukraine.

00:08:49.000 I don't hate.

00:08:50.000 So speaking of higher education and this infiltration that we did, which I'm excited to release, right now let's show the results of public education here in the United States.

00:09:02.000 Look, I don't want this to start as depressing off the bat, but look.

00:09:06.000 It's called being an adult, and that means sometimes accepting realities that you don't like.

00:09:12.000 And this is reality.

00:09:13.000 Y'all saw a high school had a walkout today, and this Lillet girl had said this.

00:09:18.000 I am so glad that years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, the first black man, ended slavery!

00:09:25.000 Because if not, people would be whipped every day!

00:09:30.000 Well, there you go.

00:09:34.000 It's the thought that counts.

00:09:36.000 They're trying, right?

00:09:37.000 Can we play that again?

00:09:38.000 Because what people may have missed is the black girl's reaction.

00:09:42.000 Yeah.

00:09:43.000 Everyone in the crowd was like, uh, we should send them back into school.

00:09:48.000 Yes.

00:09:49.000 Yeah.

00:09:49.000 But then it'll just come out with more of this.

00:09:51.000 Watch the black girl's reaction. 0.98

00:09:52.000 You can see it in real time.

00:09:53.000 Watch.

00:09:53.000 Y'all saw a high school had a walkout today.

00:09:55.000 And this Lillet girl had said this.

00:09:58.000 I am so glad that years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, the first black man Here's the reaction.

00:10:06.000 Here's the... Oh no.

00:10:08.000 People are putting down cameras and signs.

00:10:12.000 They're like, this isn't the right thing.

00:10:15.000 You were only off by like 75, 85 years, something like that.

00:10:19.000 You go to Martin Luther King Jr.

00:10:21.000 High at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr.

00:10:24.000 and Malcolm X Boulevard.

00:10:25.000 Wrong century, lady. 0.98

00:10:26.000 Oh, that is bad.

00:10:27.000 Wow, I'm so glad my kid's in private school.

00:10:33.000 If my son said that, I'd never hit a child, but I might. 1.00

00:10:37.000 No, but then you hear John Oliver talk about, the real problem is charter schools because it's for profit.

00:10:42.000 Oh my gosh, you mean they have educational standards that they have to uphold?

00:10:45.000 Yeah, you mean maybe teachers get fired if one student thinks that Martin Luther King Jr.

00:10:50.000 was the first human?

00:10:51.000 Oh yeah, I love paying tons of money to send my kid to a private school because they're not doing the job at the other school.

00:11:00.000 The one that I already pay taxes for.

00:11:01.000 Right, yeah, this is thrilling.

00:11:03.000 That was my idea, that you wanted to mask them on Zoom calls.

00:11:07.000 double mask them and put up glass visors.

00:11:09.000 I'd say yeah.

00:11:10.000 Yeah.

00:11:10.000 Well, yes.

00:11:11.000 You're gonna stare at a screen all day.

00:11:12.000 They're not gonna go to Minecraft or Mario Kart at any point during this.

00:11:12.000 Don't worry.

00:11:15.000 Right, yeah.

00:11:16.000 They miss something.

00:11:17.000 The Civil Rights Act.

00:11:18.000 I don't know.

00:11:19.000 Let me go to, let me go watch PewDiePie.

00:11:21.000 That's how you know.

00:11:23.000 It's not just that she said that.

00:11:24.000 It's that she made it to the podium.

00:11:27.000 Well, it's true.

00:11:28.000 She was the best and brightest among them.

00:11:29.000 Yeah.

00:11:30.000 She's the Navy SEAL of, you know, public education byproducts. 0.84

00:11:35.000 She thought it was Martin Luffa, the rest of them, and she's like, no guys, it's Martin Luther, I got this.

00:11:40.000 Someone tackling her? 0.99

00:11:41.000 That's not, that's what I, that's what I scrub my ass with! 1.00

00:11:43.000 That's not a human! 1.00

00:11:44.000 Martin Amistad.

00:11:45.000 That's a Luffa! 1.00

00:11:46.000 I coral reef and shit! 1.00

00:11:46.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:11:52.000 When Martin Luther King came over!

00:11:55.000 Wait, now what?

00:11:56.000 Oh my god, I want to go back to high school.

00:11:58.000 I've said this before, I want to go back to school like Billy Madison and get the 4.0 I deserve.

00:12:04.000 Out of 8 every test, if that is the standard.

00:12:08.000 Not anymore, Dave.

00:12:09.000 When Harriet Tubman helped the slaves escape on the Pinta, the Santa Maria, and the Malcolm X. Down that boulevard. 0.64

00:12:18.000 Yep! 0.80

00:12:19.000 They were Amtrak!

00:12:21.000 I don't think any of that is correct.

00:12:24.000 Are you sure?

00:12:25.000 1492 Rosa Parks sailed the ocean blue.

00:12:27.000 That's right!

00:12:28.000 At the front of the ship.

00:12:29.000 That's right.

00:12:30.000 The roughest part, though.

00:12:31.000 They were like, get off that.

00:12:32.000 And that was Amistad. 0.96

00:12:33.000 And then she killed all them Indians with COVID blankets. 1.00

00:12:37.000 See? 0.99

00:12:37.000 A-plus. 0.99

00:12:38.000 A-plus.

00:12:42.000 Don't you question me.

00:12:43.000 I'm cultural. 1.00

00:12:43.000 I got a dream catcher in my car and shit. 1.00

00:12:47.000 Look at that, hanging from the mirror. 1.00

00:12:48.000 And one tattooed on my thigh, like a lot of strippers.

00:12:51.000 I can't figure that out.

00:12:52.000 Doesn't look like you caught a dream at all.

00:12:54.000 Looks like your dream is dead.

00:12:55.000 Yeah, you know, but I don't know why I'm planning to fall asleep at the wheel. 0.98

00:12:58.000 It's kind of a dick move. 0.87

00:13:01.000 Yeah, that's what, yeah. 0.96

00:13:02.000 You know, it always makes me feel great when I see a Dreamcatcher hanging from the mirror and an ambient bobblehead on the dashboard.

00:13:07.000 Oh, yeah.

00:13:08.000 It's like, clearly.

00:13:09.000 I didn't know they made bobbleheads.

00:13:13.000 Well, they do, yeah.

00:13:13.000 That's weird.

00:13:14.000 It's not good.

00:13:15.000 Hey, what's that?

00:13:16.000 Are those your, is that, what happened to your blinker button?

00:13:18.000 Oh, I changed it to a Lunesta dispenser.

00:13:20.000 Mmm, butterflies!

00:13:22.000 I can go drive to Taco Bell and get high on benzodiazepines at 3 a.m.

00:13:28.000 and not know I ate it.

00:13:30.000 Hold on I gotta give a speech about civil rights.

00:13:32.000 I'll be back.

00:13:34.000 Well I guess you know what to be fair she might have taken notes from our former vice president.

00:13:38.000 We got the first sort of mainstream frickin America who was articulate and bright and Clean, nice-looking guy.

00:13:51.000 I mean, that's a storybook, man.

00:13:53.000 Yeah.

00:13:53.000 Well, he could have just ended it at first.

00:13:55.000 Clean.

00:13:55.000 I could have just not said anything.

00:13:59.000 Yeah.

00:14:00.000 That's pretty tough.

00:14:00.000 Where it's like, if you want to say, like, articulate and it's like, all right, but then clean.

00:14:05.000 Well, you know what?

00:14:06.000 There's no way around that one.

00:14:07.000 What?

00:14:07.000 I always look for some way to defend what somebody meant.

00:14:10.000 Yeah.

00:14:10.000 Like the good.

00:14:11.000 And I'm partway in.

00:14:13.000 I'm like, there's just not even a pause.

00:14:14.000 No, there's not.

00:14:15.000 You have to be a beautiful mind to figure out what he meant.

00:14:17.000 Yes.

00:14:18.000 OK.

00:14:19.000 He's like a shark.

00:14:20.000 He can't move backwards.

00:14:21.000 He can't back up his mistakes.

00:14:23.000 He just keeps going further.

00:14:24.000 He talks himself into a corner and then just keeps ramming into a corner like a bumper car.

00:14:29.000 I can get out, I promise. 1.00

00:14:30.000 Fucking black man that's articulate. 1.00

00:14:32.000 That's good, Joe. 1.00

00:14:33.000 Thanks for saying that.

00:14:33.000 Thank you for that.

00:14:34.000 Appreciate it.

00:14:35.000 And by the way, that's the reason that Barack Obama made him vice president.

00:14:39.000 Because he was like, if I pick the most racist man, and what I don't just mean as an implication, I mean unilaterally agreed upon as the most racist human being alive.

00:14:51.000 Let's be clear.

00:14:51.000 People think I'm tolerant.

00:14:52.000 As a president, if you shoot me, that's what you're gonna get. 1.00

00:14:56.000 You don't want that shit. 1.00

00:14:57.000 I promise. 1.00

00:14:58.000 That's why they call him Joe Fire Insurance.

00:15:04.000 That was 90 chess and we just didn't even see it.

00:15:07.000 Like, wow, you know what?

00:15:09.000 He's better than the alternative.

00:15:10.000 I remember when he said in his first speech, he said in his first speech, everyone knows you don't mess with Joe.

00:15:18.000 So that's projecting, this is reverse psychology because that's all you do.

00:15:22.000 Everything you do.

00:15:24.000 He serves no purpose if not to be messed with.

00:15:28.000 He knows the first black president and you're taking a risk. 0.70

00:15:31.000 And he knew that was a bargaining chip.

00:15:33.000 If you impeach me, you get Joe.

00:15:35.000 And boy was he right.

00:15:38.000 Now who's after in line for Joe?

00:15:40.000 Hillary Clinton and then Robert Byrd.

00:15:42.000 Oh, I think.

00:15:43.000 Gigs up!

00:15:45.000 Wait till you see who Joe asked you.

00:15:47.000 It's crazy.

00:15:49.000 Kamala.

00:15:50.000 I don't even take her calls.

00:15:51.000 Are you kidding me?

00:15:52.000 He called TMZ and paparazzi when he was installing the wheelchair ramp for Joe. 0.94

00:15:56.000 He was shitting his pants in 08.

00:15:58.000 Dial in your scopes for about 300 meters of ramp. 0.93

00:16:00.000 It has little elevator chairs.

00:16:02.000 Now, now, now, now, dial in your scopes for about 300 years of ramp!

00:16:05.000 It has a little, little, what is it called?

00:16:09.000 Little elevator chairs?

00:16:10.000 Oh, pudding dispenser?

00:16:11.000 No!

00:16:12.000 What are those chairs that are on the wheelchairs?

00:16:14.000 Yeah, the stair chair, the stair climber.

00:16:16.000 Yeah, it goes up.

00:16:17.000 Oh, what do you call it?

00:16:18.000 Yeah, it kills the old lady. 1.00

00:16:19.000 Hover around. 0.90

00:16:19.000 Yeah, it kills the old lady. 0.90

00:16:20.000 Hover around.

00:16:20.000 Well, I hope that doesn't happen.

00:16:21.000 Yeah.

00:16:22.000 Well, I guarantee you Joe would get stuck.

00:16:23.000 Oh, yeah.

00:16:24.000 He'd be right in the middle.

00:16:25.000 Just halfway.

00:16:26.000 There'd just be a trail of brown down the stairs.

00:16:28.000 It's two buttons.

00:16:30.000 Like, oh my gosh, why is he late for the State of the Union?

00:16:32.000 He spent the last nine hours on the electric wheelchair ramp.

00:16:35.000 Yeah, thank God he was buckled in.

00:16:37.000 Tripped on a brick of Parmesan cheese walking into his house.

00:16:41.000 Or guns hidden in the trash.

00:16:44.000 All right, so here's something else, too, before we move on to Russian.

00:16:47.000 Louis C.K.

00:16:49.000 has canceled the February shows in Kiev.

00:16:52.000 Why?

00:16:53.000 Well, okay.

00:16:54.000 Yeah, I mean, I would hope.

00:16:56.000 I appreciate it.

00:16:57.000 But thanks for the layup.

00:16:58.000 They need humor.

00:16:58.000 Because of bombs.

00:17:00.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:17:00.000 Ah.

00:17:01.000 Something about a Russian invasion, I have no idea.

00:17:04.000 Wolverines forever, something like that.

00:17:06.000 So tickets were actually being, they were sold at a 30% discount.

00:17:10.000 Really?

00:17:10.000 And he still just canceled them.

00:17:11.000 Who's the idiot that was buying them at 30% discount? 0.99

00:17:13.000 Yeah, Russia's about to invade, and he's like, hey, we should use comedy. 1.00

00:17:16.000 It's good.

00:17:17.000 Oh, they froze assets.

00:17:18.000 This will be new currency. 0.98

00:17:19.000 Shows to serial masturbator who's canceled America. 0.97

00:17:25.000 It's a great idea. 0.85

00:17:25.000 And actually, I think over the weekend, Louis C.K. 0.85

00:17:29.000 was talking about this.

00:17:31.000 I think they're re-airing it now.

00:17:33.000 Oh, they're re-airing it now on CNN.

00:17:39.000 Okay.

00:17:41.000 Walt Blitzer.

00:17:42.000 I got this one.

00:17:44.000 Hello?

00:17:45.000 Is this Louis CK?

00:17:46.000 Yeah.

00:17:47.000 Hi.

00:17:49.000 We have reports that your show in Kiev is going ahead as scheduled in spite of the invasion.

00:17:54.000 I am way not in the Ukraine.

00:17:58.000 That is the exact opposite of where I am.

00:18:01.000 I can't get a flight! 0.99

00:18:04.000 You try to take off and they kill you.

00:18:06.000 But it was reported on Twitter That the shows we're going ahead is scheduled. 1.00

00:18:13.000 Oh, holy s**t. Some faggot went meh with his iPhone and you're like, I guess that's just a thing that's happening now. 1.00

00:18:23.000 As of the other day, there were no changes on the venue's website. 0.99

00:18:29.000 Because the guy whose job that is is dead now.

00:18:34.000 He's erased from existence for eternity!

00:18:38.000 We don't know that. 0.74

00:18:40.000 He could be in a fallout shelter from the 50s, huddled around a bunch of dirty little kids and old ladies in shawls, going, oh wait, I have to tell everyone he's not coming. 1.00

00:18:50.000 Like, oh darn, now I don't get to step over a pile of dead bodies to see a fat piece of s**t who everyone hates now. 0.99

00:19:00.000 Well, where are you? 0.99

00:19:02.000 Amsterdam.

00:19:03.000 What is the mood on the ground there? 0.96

00:19:05.000 No one gives a s**t! 1.00

00:19:08.000 Everyone's just high and shooting pot sh** into syphilitic hookers. 1.00

00:19:13.000 It doesn't matter! 1.00

00:19:15.000 Well, I guess that's all I have to know.

00:19:19.000 We can wrap this up.

00:19:23.000 Are you seriously... This is just who I am as a person!

00:19:28.000 I can't help it!

00:19:31.000 I just thought I was the only one doing it.

00:19:31.000 Oh, no, that's okay.

00:19:34.000 This is CNN.

00:19:35.000 The most trusted name in news.

00:19:39.000 Do you have to be a sex offender to work at CNN?

00:19:41.000 I think it's part of the question.

00:19:42.000 What is funny is, yeah, one of those people are cancelled for actually being a sex offender.

00:19:46.000 One of those people are actually a sex offender.

00:19:46.000 Yeah.

00:19:48.000 Yeah, one of them got a contract extension before it was up.

00:19:51.000 We gotta lock this guy down.

00:19:51.000 Yeah.

00:19:52.000 Otherwise, we don't want MSNBC to have him.

00:19:54.000 Look at the talent on that man.

00:19:55.000 We'll give you points on the back end.

00:19:56.000 One guy, brilliant comedian who got permission from someone.

00:19:59.000 Other guy, actual man who masturbated during a phone call and we just pretend didn't Well, when he came back on Air Dave, in their defense, they had a woman interview him and ask him these questions.

00:20:09.000 It was awkward at all.

00:20:10.000 It was really awkward at the end of that interview when he tried to put a sticky note on the camera at CNN.

00:20:15.000 Like, that doesn't work here.

00:20:16.000 Like, Allison, I was looking at you the whole time.

00:20:19.000 Right.

00:20:20.000 Wouldn't you just close your computer?

00:20:22.000 Wouldn't you just unplug everything?

00:20:24.000 Wouldn't you have one for, I don't know, CNN and one for your hobby?

00:20:28.000 Or something else.

00:20:29.000 Maybe.

00:20:29.000 Wouldn't you just have a shred of self-control?

00:20:32.000 Well, that too.

00:20:33.000 As a start, you know.

00:20:34.000 We can't wait 30 minutes?

00:20:37.000 It's not like this was a two-hour Zoom call.

00:20:38.000 It wasn't like a crazy one.

00:20:39.000 It was just like it was a catch-up meeting.

00:20:42.000 Yeah, maybe it just took so long he's like, oh no, I lost track of time, where are my pants? 0.81

00:20:47.000 That's the problem with the internet, because before that you didn't walk into a conference room and we're like, okay, we have coffee, water, and stop masturbating at the conference table.

00:20:55.000 Sorry, I didn't realize you saw me. 0.77

00:20:57.000 Of course we can see you.

00:20:58.000 You're right there.

00:20:59.000 We're in ballroom B at the Marriott, and you're in front of me.

00:21:03.000 It's called Ballroom. 0.91

00:21:05.000 Oh, is that not what it is anymore?

00:21:07.000 We're just naming things nebulously?

00:21:10.000 Sorry.

00:21:11.000 Pardon me for putting them on a chair.

00:21:12.000 Is that because of society?

00:21:14.000 Yes, Toobin, it's because of society.

00:21:17.000 Just stop.

00:21:19.000 Who's the guy they wanted to hire outside of Tubin?

00:21:21.000 Who was plan B?

00:21:22.000 And they were like, no, let's just bring Tubin back. 0.93

00:21:24.000 I don't know.

00:21:25.000 But we'll talk about Stelter in a little bit.

00:21:26.000 So before we move on, we also have the Biden Supreme Court nominee.

00:21:30.000 Have you been following us?

00:21:31.000 He nominated, I don't know how it's going to be, Kentaji Brown-Jackson.

00:21:35.000 I've not heard it spoken because the story only makes me mad.

00:21:35.000 I've only read it.

00:21:37.000 That's close.

00:21:38.000 to the Supreme Court, which brings us to this week's or days, there are probably quite a few

00:21:42.000 of these this week with the State of the Union, Curious Coincidences.

00:21:45.000 Is it Kitanji or Kitaji?

00:22:03.000 I don't know if the idiom gets pronounced, but I think it should.

00:22:05.000 Okay.

00:22:06.000 I have no idea.

00:22:06.000 I think so.

00:22:08.000 Well, Brown Jackson, let's go with that. 0.97

00:22:10.000 Mm-hmm.

00:22:11.000 Miss Jackson.

00:22:12.000 I am for real.

00:22:16.000 That was the whitest version of that song ever.

00:22:18.000 Yeah.

00:22:21.000 Brown Jackson.

00:22:24.000 Jackson Brown.

00:22:25.000 Same judge.

00:22:26.000 Running on empty, running on.

00:22:29.000 That's the blackest version ever of this. 0.65

00:22:30.000 Why'd you pick this Supreme Court nominee?

00:22:33.000 Running on empty, running on.

00:22:36.000 Just love her music.

00:22:37.000 What do you think about Brown-Jackson? 1.00

00:22:38.000 She's a bitch girl! 1.00

00:22:39.000 And that's enough. 1.00

00:22:40.000 That's enough.

00:22:42.000 Now we're down to just one biracial and I think it's Oates. 0.95

00:22:49.000 Got an itch, girl! 0.54

00:22:54.000 Now, that's because, by the way, don't use public toilets.

00:22:57.000 Same judge who sentenced the Pizzagate shooter, in case you have forgotten about this.

00:23:02.000 So another interesting, that's the greatest qualification for Brown-Jackson.

00:23:06.000 That's our biggest case, huh?

00:23:07.000 Yeah.

00:23:08.000 Do you think this person was just selected on the name?

00:23:10.000 Like, Jackson, that's a black sign name.

00:23:11.000 What's the middle name?

00:23:12.000 Brown.

00:23:13.000 Done!

00:23:13.000 This is perfect.

00:23:17.000 Another interesting point, too, about this shooting, I don't know about Pizzagate, the shooter only shot at a closet with a computer inside.

00:23:24.000 That's all he actually shot.

00:23:25.000 And for all the hubbub about Pizzagate, you know, you would think it was this massive scale shooting, but he only shot at a closet with a computer inside.

00:23:33.000 Which also, why would you need a closet with a computer inside it at a pizza parlor?

00:23:44.000 And what was Stelter coming out of it?

00:23:45.000 This has been Curious Coincidences.

00:23:47.000 Hm.

00:23:48.000 Oh.

00:24:02.000 Brian Seltzer only leaves the closet for brunching.

00:24:05.000 Yeah, he goes back in when he's done brunching.

00:24:06.000 I leave for brunching!

00:24:07.000 I saw my shadow!

00:24:09.000 Six more weeks of mimosas!

00:24:11.000 I'll be back for lunch.

00:24:14.000 And then second lunch.

00:24:15.000 Yes, and a linner.

00:24:16.000 And third.

00:24:16.000 And dinner.

00:24:19.000 You said it was all you could eat.

00:24:21.000 And a midnight snack.

00:24:22.000 You know what?

00:24:22.000 Let's just put a fridge in my closet.

00:24:24.000 And then din dessert.

00:24:25.000 Yes.

00:24:26.000 Maybe like a hot plate.

00:24:27.000 Be like college.

00:24:28.000 Get a college dorm vibe going.

00:24:30.000 Midnight snacksies?

00:24:30.000 Not co-ed.

00:24:31.000 Ooh, gross.

00:24:34.000 Super straight!

00:24:35.000 So, by the way, before we move on and talk about Brian Stelter, Dave and I are on tour.

00:24:39.000 Yeah.

00:24:39.000 You can go to loudmouthcider.com slash tour.

00:24:41.000 We'll be in Tulsa, Oklahoma, May 14th, and then Colorado Springs, June 18th.

00:24:46.000 So, Tulsa, Oklahoma, May 14th, June 18th, Colorado Springs.

00:24:49.000 And, yeah, just doing the good old stand-up, loudmouthcider.com slash tour.

00:24:53.000 That one's still out, so get it now.

00:24:54.000 Did you hear about... So, Brian Stelter, so there's some changes coming up at CNN.

00:24:58.000 Now, here's what's interesting, is not only that Brian Stelter is afraid of being fired, but the reason he's afraid of being fired.

00:25:04.000 So, not what you would think?

00:25:05.000 Bad reporting?

00:25:06.000 Not doing your job well?

00:25:07.000 being unappealing in the face yeah you know what let's go see you can do you can zig so i can zag

00:25:12.000 you just gave away you don't give away the the thing yeah the twist oh

00:25:17.000 Oh, nobody saw that twist coming.

00:25:22.000 Thanks.

00:25:23.000 It's Gerald M. Night.

00:25:28.000 Fired for being too handsome.

00:25:29.000 Yeah, that's the twist. 0.98

00:25:31.000 Brian Seltzer at the end of it, he finds out, I was a gay ghost all along! 0.97

00:25:35.000 Oh no! 0.99

00:25:37.000 You're too much of a man's man.

00:25:38.000 We need somebody lighter for the ladies. 1.00

00:25:40.000 You know, we've had too many comparisons.

00:25:42.000 We've done our focus groups with Frank Luntz and they see you and they just see Charles Bronson.

00:25:46.000 We don't know.

00:25:46.000 You're much of a Clint Eastwood type.

00:25:48.000 Yes, yes, that's what they say.

00:25:50.000 We need more of a, I don't know, a Fruity Grimace.

00:25:54.000 Yes, yes, exactly.

00:25:56.000 We need more of a Dom DeLuise type.

00:25:58.000 Do you know anyone, Mr. Stelter, who would be a dead ringer for a Dom DeLuise?

00:26:02.000 But more suspect.

00:26:03.000 Yes, yes.

00:26:07.000 Leave it to the imagination.

00:26:08.000 So, upcoming changes at CNN and this guy who's going to be the new head of CNN.

00:26:13.000 Outgoing Jeff Zucker.

00:26:15.000 It was leaked.

00:26:16.000 Chris Licked is his name.

00:26:17.000 Stop with the jokes.

00:26:18.000 Okay.

00:26:19.000 Actually, you know what?

00:26:19.000 Comment below your best licked joke.

00:26:21.000 But is it true that Chris might lick Stelter? 0.86

00:26:25.000 Yeah, that's what he's like. 0.98

00:26:26.000 Licked? 0.96

00:26:26.000 What? 0.96

00:26:27.000 You have my attention.

00:26:29.000 Now you have my curiosity. 0.99

00:26:32.000 Mr. Licked, I'm here for your licking. 1.00

00:26:34.000 Mr. Licked! 0.99

00:26:37.000 I have my own green room, but I'd be willing to share.

00:26:41.000 So, it's a large green room.

00:26:45.000 I want a double-wide trailer, really.

00:26:47.000 I also have a trough.

00:26:50.000 It's just the men's bathroom with a giant chair in it.

00:26:54.000 And the trough is the urinal.

00:26:56.000 We put ice in there.

00:26:57.000 We can melt it.

00:26:57.000 It's fun.

00:26:58.000 It's hard to pee while sitting down, though.

00:27:00.000 People think it's gross to eat as much as I do in the men's room, but I do what I do.

00:27:04.000 Yeah.

00:27:04.000 Actually, I don't know if this is more bacteria in the kitchen than the men's room.

00:27:08.000 So really, I'm more sanitary than you.

00:27:10.000 And by men's room, I mean my closet, which is also a men's room.

00:27:14.000 It's a water closet.

00:27:16.000 What, you've never been to Europe?

00:27:17.000 Keep the handbag.

00:27:18.000 So, Chris Licht is announced as the new head of CNN.

00:27:21.000 Okay.

00:27:22.000 Here's the thing.

00:27:22.000 It was leaked.

00:27:23.000 It clearly seems to be a deliberate leak because it's accurate.

00:27:26.000 Yeah.

00:27:26.000 And Brian Stelter didn't know about it.

00:27:30.000 So they didn't let him know the name of his show is Reliable Sources.

00:27:35.000 Here you go.

00:27:36.000 And now we know who Zaslav is selected to run CNN once it happens.

00:27:40.000 After it broke?

00:27:41.000 It looks like it's going to cry.

00:27:41.000 We now know!

00:27:42.000 Yes, we've known.

00:27:42.000 newly combined company, according to three sources who spoke with me on Saturday.

00:27:45.000 Now the appointment has not been officially announced yet, but it will be made official

00:27:49.000 in the coming days.

00:27:50.000 Website Puck broke the news.

00:27:52.000 We now know!

00:27:53.000 Yes, we've known.

00:27:54.000 Yes, thank you.

00:27:56.000 I was spoken to on Saturday.

00:27:58.000 Yep.

00:27:59.000 No more brunch.

00:28:00.000 My meal with my children.

00:28:01.000 Here at Reliables, if you're not even breaking anything, what is it you would say you do here?

00:28:10.000 I'm called Reliable Sources, unlike your show.

00:28:12.000 Right.

00:28:13.000 Okay.

00:28:14.000 So to give you a couple of things here that are important.

00:28:16.000 So Chris Licht is going to be the head of CNN.

00:28:17.000 Okay.

00:28:18.000 He also, you know, Discoveries purchased CNN, I believe.

00:28:22.000 And he wants to bring CNN's credibility back.

00:28:26.000 So that's his main concern.

00:28:27.000 He wants to get rid of what seems to be partisan hackery.

00:28:31.000 Which is interesting because he was actually one of the creators of Morning Joe.

00:28:37.000 And then he is currently, I believe, a showrunner and one of the top producers for the late show with Stephen Colbert.

00:28:41.000 So look, you know where he lines up.

00:28:44.000 Okay, you know where this Chris Licht lines up.

00:28:46.000 So what he's saying when he says we want to retrieve from the abyss the, you know, the credibility of CNN, what he really means is they want to go back to lying to you by omission.

00:28:55.000 A lot of people are now saying, oh, CNN got really bad.

00:28:57.000 No!

00:28:58.000 No, they didn't get really bad.

00:29:00.000 You just weren't aware of it.

00:29:01.000 Sometimes you'll hear people like Joe Rogan say this, or you'll hear people who are sort of newly conservative write red pills, and they go, I used to really, you know, CNN used to be reliable.

00:29:08.000 They were never reliable.

00:29:10.000 You just weren't paying attention.

00:29:12.000 They've always been this bad.

00:29:13.000 Anderson Cooper has always been this bad, just to be clear.

00:29:16.000 Don Lemon has been there for years and years.

00:29:17.000 This is not a new development.

00:29:20.000 So this guy, clearly, he wants to go back to the period of bias by omission.

00:29:26.000 And CNN really has gotten to be more opinion journalism.

00:29:29.000 So that's the important point to note on that front.

00:29:31.000 Now, here's something else that's funny.

00:29:34.000 Brian Stelter is now afraid of being fired.

00:29:36.000 Now, it's not that that's hilarious, but It is.

00:29:38.000 Yeah, it is.

00:29:39.000 It's the subtext.

00:29:40.000 This is reported by Red State, and I can't confirm the authenticity, but I'm pretty sure.

00:29:46.000 So it says, Brian Stelter, who spent most of his last half decade trying to cost other several people their jobs, has told people that he thinks he's going to lose his job at CNN.

00:29:54.000 So what does that tell you?

00:29:55.000 Okay, you have a new incoming head of CNN, all right, who wants to at least keep up the appearance of objective journalism.

00:30:04.000 That means there was a meeting.

00:30:05.000 Look, there are going to be some changes here at CNN.

00:30:08.000 We want to, you know, really get back to delivering real, accurate news.

00:30:11.000 Oh my God!

00:30:12.000 I'm fired!

00:30:13.000 What?

00:30:15.000 I'll lose everything!

00:30:16.000 Oh my God!

00:30:17.000 Morning Joe's coming back?

00:30:18.000 What?

00:30:19.000 What if I do a show called Afternoon Jab?

00:30:21.000 Yes!

00:30:23.000 No?

00:30:24.000 Mid-evening poke?

00:30:25.000 How about winter stab?

00:30:28.000 Nighttime insertion?

00:30:33.000 No?

00:30:33.000 Perhaps some early morning prodding?

00:30:35.000 No?

00:30:36.000 Just grab my things?

00:30:38.000 Just a pair of Crocs.

00:30:43.000 Jazzy, badass Crocs.

00:30:45.000 And a cape that he's been trying to make work.

00:30:49.000 No, it doesn't.

00:30:50.000 I'll take it with me then.

00:30:51.000 That belongs to wardrobe. 0.99

00:30:53.000 Oh, foiled again!

00:30:54.000 Speaking of, they're putting him up right now.

00:30:56.000 Oh my gosh.

00:30:57.000 Don't put on the side profile.

00:30:59.000 Let's see what Brian Filter is saying right now live.

00:31:02.000 Let's see if it's not just complete partisan hackery.

00:31:04.000 He got fatter.

00:31:05.000 His profile looks like he should be wearing shower shoes before an execution. 0.82

00:31:08.000 Doesn't he?

00:31:08.000 the truth, the ground truth of what's going on. At the same time we are seeing some Russian

00:31:12.000 websites being hacked. There are multiple reports of Russian media websites being hacked

00:31:16.000 with anti-Putin messages posted on them in the past two hours.

00:31:19.000 His profile looks like he should be wearing shower shoes before an execution. Doesn't

00:31:24.000 he? He's just a creep. 0.98

00:31:25.000 Those kinds of hacks also signs that Putin is losing this information war. On one level

00:31:29.000 that's true, on another level, look at the headline of the LA Times that it was this

00:31:32.000 month.

00:31:33.000 I'm really nervous talking fast.

00:31:34.000 Zelensky is winning the PR battle. Ukraine winning the PR battle. 0.80

00:31:36.000 Breaking news.

00:31:39.000 You know, here's the thing, I really hate the anti-Americanism that you see across the globe, especially having visited Europe, but every now and then you just see an American and you're like, okay, they've got a point.

00:31:51.000 They're seeing him in the airport when they land?

00:31:53.000 I'd be pissed too.

00:31:54.000 Imagine the country that invented the guillotine looking at that. 0.55

00:31:57.000 There's no way to make it fit.

00:31:58.000 I don't know. 0.98

00:31:59.000 I don't have a guillotine for whatever big, what you call it, McDonald's fat purple clown. 0.99

00:32:07.000 There is nine weeks lead time for custom stocks. 0.89

00:32:10.000 I don't know what it is.

00:32:11.000 I don't care.

00:32:11.000 I need a tin head basket, please.

00:32:13.000 Yes. 0.77

00:32:16.000 Why does the man witch from Dune have to be beheaded? 0.98

00:32:22.000 You can't kill him! 0.96

00:32:24.000 He just rises up with the fire.

00:32:25.000 He's on the ceiling and you're like, AH!

00:32:29.000 But it just shows, this is, look, how he views himself, Brian Stelter.

00:32:35.000 And it's not even true that they're going to have objective journalism at CNN, but the moment Brian Stelter believed that they were going to attempt objective journalism, he was like, oh, I'll lose everything!

00:32:44.000 He thought he was out.

00:32:45.000 He's like, yes, I'll do the morning show, bring me on.

00:32:48.000 And it's one thing to be, look, and I don't, I don't, you know, I mean, this guy has made his living trying to get people fired, but I don't, it's one thing for somebody to be fired.

00:32:57.000 It's another thing to be Brian Stelter and be fired from broadcast television.

00:33:02.000 Who else on God's green earth is going to put this man back on TV?

00:33:05.000 And a lot of people don't know, he basically rose to fame because he was sort of like a Perez Hilton for a political blog website, a gossip website basically.

00:33:12.000 So then he got a job at like the New York Times, and I believe it was New York Times, going by rote here, and it was because they were surprised that he was a college student writing this.

00:33:21.000 But here's the thing, so he sort of Were they surprised by his appearance?

00:33:25.000 Wow, you look 40.

00:33:27.000 Yeah, they only figured out after he had a two-year contract and they were at year and a half.

00:33:31.000 Like, what?

00:33:32.000 They were like, you're 22?

00:33:34.000 I thought you were about to die.

00:33:35.000 The only reason we filed the extension.

00:33:41.000 Check out an insurance policy on you.

00:33:44.000 It was the soft expectations of him being young.

00:33:46.000 And then he got on CNN and now they say, OK, but now you're a 36-year-old completely super straight broadcaster with the lowest ratings. 0.99

00:33:55.000 You are entirely useless to us. 0.95

00:33:57.000 He is proven to be a failed commodity. 0.99

00:34:00.000 That's got to be a really scary thought for Brian Stelter.

00:34:03.000 And frankly, I don't want him gone.

00:34:05.000 No, no, I was just about to bring up that point.

00:34:06.000 Like, he is perfectly positioned there, because if they're trying to go back and rehab their image, which sucks in the first place, Ryan Stelter being front and center... 0.54

00:34:16.000 It's like Saddam Hussein! 0.89

00:34:17.000 You don't want to create that power vacuum!

00:34:18.000 I think his perfect position for him is all fours, but... Well, that's what he says.

00:34:23.000 I think you're right.

00:34:27.000 He got there, though, because he basically got everyone fired.

00:34:30.000 Look at him.

00:34:31.000 I mean, it's just karma.

00:34:32.000 You can't just keep cutting through everything until you're to the top.

00:34:35.000 They're eventually going to get rid of you.

00:34:36.000 And then he even threw people under the bus who were fired at his network.

00:34:38.000 Yes.

00:34:39.000 Like Chris Cuomo who's angling for his spot. 1.00

00:34:41.000 That day he was like, he's a rapist. 0.99

00:34:44.000 Yeah, you heard it here first. 0.99

00:34:46.000 Yes. 0.98

00:34:46.000 He's a rapist and boy, I don't know who's going to fill that nine o'clock slot. 0.98

00:34:51.000 They're like, no, it's not going to happen. 1.00

00:34:51.000 Oh boy. 1.00

00:34:53.000 Well, it was worth a shot.

00:34:54.000 I'll take my cake.

00:34:55.000 Yeah.

00:34:55.000 Cuomo hadn't even packed his things when he's in there measuring for drapes.

00:34:58.000 Cuomo's seat leaves and he just hovers and boom.

00:34:58.000 Yeah.

00:35:02.000 Yeah.

00:35:04.000 Uncle Ant.

00:35:07.000 Anyway, you guys let us know.

00:35:08.000 I don't want Stelter to go away.

00:35:09.000 Best thing you can do for the YouTube algorithm is comment.

00:35:11.000 I actually want him to stick around.

00:35:13.000 I really, really do.

00:35:14.000 We should just hire him.

00:35:15.000 Save Brian Stelter.

00:35:16.000 Let's start a GoFundMe. 0.62

00:35:18.000 Might be the funniest gag of all time, if we just pay him a lot of money

00:35:24.000 to be in third chair.

00:35:25.000 And we just.

00:35:26.000 And you just don't let him speak.

00:35:28.000 You just duct tape his mouth.

00:35:30.000 Or we just, he has to say only extremist things.

00:35:33.000 Yes.

00:35:34.000 That are extraordinarily offensive, and we're like, Brian Stelter, that's.

00:35:37.000 Wow, Brian.

00:35:38.000 Why would you say that?

00:35:39.000 I can't believe, I mean I knew.

00:35:40.000 We have Jews who work here.

00:35:41.000 I mean, come on.

00:35:43.000 And then I'll be like, we don't.

00:35:44.000 And he always has to hold his purse in the chair.

00:35:46.000 Yeah, and he'll like shake it.

00:35:47.000 Yes.

00:35:48.000 Thank you.

00:35:50.000 Every now and then when you tell an off color joke, He has to go, Dave!

00:35:53.000 And hit you with the purse. 1.00

00:35:54.000 And then there's a laugh track.

00:35:55.000 Yeah.

00:35:56.000 Yes.

00:35:57.000 Well, we would be, we wouldn't need a laugh track.

00:35:58.000 We'd be here.

00:35:59.000 No, he'll be, he'll be dressed like Maude.

00:36:01.000 Yeah.

00:36:03.000 He'll be dressed like Estelle Getty.

00:36:03.000 Be sure to, be sure to.

00:36:06.000 Golden Girls.

00:36:08.000 We would, we need to get a, we need to get a. Oh, that's commercial.

00:36:12.000 You'll need a love seat.

00:36:12.000 No, no.

00:36:13.000 Yes.

00:36:16.000 That chair's not rated for me.

00:36:18.000 I call it a me seat!

00:36:20.000 Yes.

00:36:21.000 I'm full of love.

00:36:23.000 So here's another thing, too, that's been happening before we get to Russia.

00:36:25.000 And Gerald really has been following Russia and China very closely.

00:36:27.000 And it is interesting.

00:36:29.000 And unfortunately, this was always my concern.

00:36:31.000 And I know you and Elaine were arguing about Russia and what we should do.

00:36:34.000 And a friendly debate.

00:36:35.000 It was.

00:36:37.000 I think everyone's heart out there breaks for the people of the Ukraine.

00:36:41.000 Yeah.

00:36:41.000 But two things can be true.

00:36:43.000 You can feel that way and also believe that we shouldn't be sending Americans over there to die.

00:36:48.000 And that being said, you can recognize those two things and also understand that the actions that are currently being taken economically on the world stage could be driving Russia into the arms of China.

00:36:57.000 But before that, of course, conspiracy theorists have been heckled by the media quite a bit for suggesting that COVID vaccines – and this was, I don't know if it was last week, it wasn't too long ago, but it's been going on for a while – for suggesting that COVID vaccines could shed One influencer claiming that just being around someone who's been vaccinated causes those side effects.

00:37:19.000 That not only can the COVID-19 vaccines hurt women's fertility by attacking the placenta, they cause a vaccinated person to shed the virus onto women and affect their periods or pregnancies.

00:37:30.000 So, the first part.

00:37:31.000 As I reported here on Fact Check Friday before, the WHO says it's not true.

00:37:36.000 The vaccines we give cannot cause infertility.

00:37:40.000 About those who've been vaccinated shedding virus particles and causing harm to others.

00:37:44.000 I have found no scientific document or source that says it's even possible with the mRNA vaccines

00:37:50.000 or the J&J vaccine. Okay, now it's not true yet and what they just said is accurate.

00:37:56.000 There is no scientific document available with the, did he say Pfizer-NJNJ vaccine?

00:38:01.000 Well, M-N-R-A, M-N-R-A-R-N-A, sorry. 1.00

00:38:04.000 I'm throwing the N's in the wrong place again. 1.00

00:38:06.000 The point is that is not inaccurate, but what they're trying to do is act like it's one person said, oh, no, this isn't just one person who believed that there's a potential for One person said this, and we haven't found any scientific literature on these specific vaccines.

00:38:21.000 Understood.

00:38:22.000 I'm not fact-checking that.

00:38:23.000 I'm talking about the spirit of how they do this, and this is what they'll be doing at CNN.

00:38:27.000 It's the lies by omission.

00:38:28.000 It's take an extremist fringe person to make a point that in another context might be valid or worth investigation, to dismiss it, and then selectively present references that make your case for you.

00:38:40.000 And by the way, that's why we present all references.

00:38:42.000 They're available at lottoescretor.com.

00:38:44.000 If you're watching on YouTube, it's in that pinned comment.

00:38:46.000 And of course, if you're watching on Rumble or Mug Club, which I recommend you do, you can just go to the website

00:38:50.000 and hit that tab.

00:38:51.000 So here's the interesting part.

00:38:54.000 Have you read about this?

00:38:55.000 The researchers now in the US, the UK, and Australia are now researching the possibility of a quote self-spreading vaccine.

00:39:03.000 I'm going to read this to you.

00:39:04.000 The unvaccinated would quote catch the vaccine as it spreads rapidly Across the country in airborne droplets passed on via close contact with others, just as colds and flu already spread.

00:39:18.000 And we actually have exclusive footage of the preliminary results with the self-shedding vaccine trials.

00:39:24.000 Oh, that seems pretty cut and dry.

00:39:34.000 It's worked before.

00:39:35.000 We're gonna do it to ourselves, aren't we?

00:39:36.000 Yeah.

00:39:37.000 I mean, what?

00:39:39.000 Go to the top of a shopping mall with guns?

00:39:42.000 Yes!

00:39:43.000 With Woody Harrelson.

00:39:44.000 We'll just hang out!

00:39:47.000 Oh, this is a scary thought.

00:39:49.000 Well, it's funny.

00:39:50.000 The yet that we threw on there was kind of a joke, but it's not a joke because every single time some claim like this gets made and they're like, Oh, it's absolutely not possible for this to happen.

00:39:59.000 And then we're like, Oh, that was, man, that was only like six months.

00:40:03.000 Getting a vaccine, I feel is knowing the side effects per person and talking to your doctor, you know, on a private basis, knowing how that would affect you individually.

00:40:12.000 Not just catching it walking down the street the same as anything.

00:40:17.000 That seems extremely vicious.

00:40:17.000 Right.

00:40:19.000 No, I think you're absolutely right.

00:40:20.000 Not only that, there is not a... Now, of course, side effects and adverse reactions with vaccines are very rare in most cases.

00:40:28.000 There are more side effects, you know, with mRNA injections and all of the... No, I'm pro-vax.

00:40:28.000 Yes.

00:40:32.000 I just don't think you should catch it.

00:40:33.000 No, exactly.

00:40:34.000 They're very rare, but I don't know of a single vaccine That doesn't affect certain individuals negatively with adverse effects, particularly things like neurological conditions.

00:40:42.000 GBS is one of them.

00:40:44.000 There are certain people who cannot even take a basic flu shot because of autoimmune issues.

00:40:48.000 People thinking Jenny McCarthy's an author.

00:40:50.000 Right, yes, exactly.

00:40:52.000 I don't know how they read that.

00:40:55.000 So people, this is a concern, people who absolutely from their doctor's recommendation, upon their doctor's recommendation, cannot take vaccines, don't have a choice in the matter.

00:41:04.000 And this is what's happened to, think about this, we've done this with everything else, we're big pharma bad, right?

00:41:08.000 People talk about big, they were, you know, villan du jour for a long time.

00:41:13.000 Except in this instance.

00:41:14.000 We've done the same thing with medicine, drugs.

00:41:17.000 Opioids, bad.

00:41:18.000 Yeah.

00:41:18.000 Okay.

00:41:19.000 Benzodiazepines, bad.

00:41:20.000 Okay.

00:41:21.000 Even people, you know, ibuprofen, bad.

00:41:23.000 Everything, you know, drugs, bad.

00:41:24.000 You should take these.

00:41:25.000 And then, for some reason, though, when it relates to the vaccine, it's, no, this is good.

00:41:29.000 Yeah.

00:41:30.000 This is good for everybody.

00:41:31.000 I don't know any other medical intervention that is considered good for everybody.

00:41:36.000 As a matter of fact, I don't think you can find one.

00:41:38.000 And when you're talking about something that would be spreading or shedding, That's now putting that power in the hands of government.

00:41:45.000 And of course, it's not only an infringement of personal liberty.

00:41:47.000 I'm just wondering where all the people who were skeptical of Big Pharma and all the people who were talking about My Body, My Choice went to.

00:41:54.000 I don't think it could be more clear than this.

00:41:55.000 It's not like abortion where, you know, you believe abortion up until nine months and including birth period.

00:42:00.000 Now, I'm not creating a straw man.

00:42:01.000 That's the actual policy of many leftist states, to be clear.

00:42:06.000 I don't know where the folks have gone.

00:42:08.000 No, I have no idea, too.

00:42:09.000 And when we talk about the issues that we had early on with the vaccine, it wasn't that we were just making claims, right?

00:42:15.000 Some French people were, like, saying, oh, I'd make my cousin's balls swell if everybody remembers that, right?

00:42:20.000 That wasn't necessarily—it was the— That was Cardi B. Yeah, I know.

00:42:20.000 Yeah.

00:42:23.000 Or Megan Thee Stallion.

00:42:23.000 Specifically, one of them.

00:42:24.000 I mean, they kind of blend.

00:42:26.000 I don't know.

00:42:26.000 Who's the other one?

00:42:27.000 Yeah.

00:42:28.000 That was, uh... Was that Nicki Minaj?

00:42:30.000 Nicki.

00:42:31.000 Ah, Nicki Minaj.

00:42:32.000 Admonish me.

00:42:33.000 Admonish me in the comments section.

00:42:35.000 No, we'll do it live on the show.

00:42:36.000 How could I possibly confuse them?

00:42:38.000 Admonish.

00:42:39.000 No, the problem we had was that... Clearly a race thing and not a six-inch nail slash talent thing.

00:42:44.000 Well, yes.

00:42:45.000 Yeah.

00:42:45.000 We just didn't have any long-term studies because it hadn't been around long enough to have any long-term studies.

00:42:50.000 Yeah, generally that helps.

00:42:51.000 Long-term studies require something being around long-term.

00:42:54.000 Well look at it, we're at about, what, a year, year and a half right now, and we're going, huh, we didn't know!

00:42:59.000 And it's like, really?

00:43:00.000 This is all we were saying from the beginning, is like, hey, maybe just do some studies on this that go a little bit longer than, say, I don't know, a few months.

00:43:06.000 Yeah.

00:43:07.000 Look, either you have to be blindly trusting of authority across the board, or you have to be skeptical across the board.

00:43:11.000 Doesn't mean you have to agree with someone else who's a skeptic across the board.

00:43:14.000 But I don't understand how people go from being a skeptic, particularly as it relates to big pharma, particularly as it relates to drug companies, and then it's completely gone.

00:43:24.000 It's about consistency.

00:43:25.000 I'm not required to suspend my consistency to say, uh, hold on a second.

00:43:29.000 Is this a good idea, though?

00:43:30.000 Is it a good idea for every single individual?

00:43:33.000 It's entirely consistent.

00:43:34.000 It is inconsistent for someone to say, Big Pharma, we have problems with these lobby—it's one of the most powerful lobbying groups in all of Washington, D.C., is Big Pharma.

00:43:43.000 I don't disagree with you there.

00:43:45.000 I also believe that Western medicine is great. 0.99

00:43:47.000 If you have cancer and you're chewing on castanga root, you're shit out of luck.

00:43:52.000 But I'm still skeptical of every drug, and I believe that every person should have the right to choose. 0.67

00:43:57.000 I believe that we should have more drugs available to people, and I believe that the FDA approval process, there's too much red tape.

00:44:03.000 Obviously, it's a problem that if someone understands the risks, they should be allowed to take that drug.

00:44:07.000 That is entirely consistent with that person should also be allowed to not take that drug.

00:44:13.000 When you see the policy of the left, right, these are the same people who said, all, every single Democrat and every single member of Joe Biden's cabinet said either, the vaccine could not possibly happen on Donald Trump's timeline, or that they would not trust the vaccine, or they wouldn't take the vaccine.

00:44:29.000 Almost all of them said all three, and they said it publicly on the record.

00:44:31.000 You can go back and just search on YouTube, search on Mug Club, because you won't find it on YouTube.

00:44:34.000 You can see that this is something that Joe Biden himself said, Kamala Harris, well it's unrealistic for it to happen at this time, I wouldn't trust the vaccine because it happened under Trump, and I wouldn't take the vaccine.

00:44:44.000 All of that is gone now.

00:44:47.000 All of it?

00:44:48.000 Just asking that we be consistent, especially as it relates to people's private medical decisions and what you put in your own body.

00:44:54.000 Okay.

00:44:55.000 Now we can move on to former Vice President Joe Biden, the Ukraine, what's been going on here with Russia and the Ukraine.

00:45:03.000 No one's paying closer attention, by the way, should be noted, than former Vice President Joe Biden.

00:45:06.000 Is he really?

00:45:07.000 Yeah, he's just a hawk.

00:45:08.000 Yeah, really.

00:45:09.000 Well, he always has been.

00:45:09.000 Yeah.

00:45:10.000 Well, when he sleeps, it's when he focuses best.

00:45:12.000 Right.

00:45:12.000 He's on it faster than a duck on a Junebug.

00:45:14.000 They poke him with a stick every few minutes and let him know the what's what.

00:45:18.000 Right.

00:45:18.000 Why is there a mirror hanging above his mouth?

00:45:21.000 I don't know.

00:45:22.000 Same reason there's a mirror hanging above Brian Stelter's closet bed!

00:45:25.000 No, I don't think that's the same.

00:45:31.000 Just walk in, you're like, is that one of those funhouse mirrors?

00:45:34.000 No, it's just me!

00:45:36.000 I said the whole ceiling with mirrors!

00:45:38.000 I look like someone hit expand on my body and never hit the shift key!

00:45:42.000 Oh, this?

00:45:42.000 This is my mirror slash crying room.

00:45:46.000 Mirror, mirror on the wall. 1.00

00:45:47.000 Shut up. 1.00

00:45:48.000 Okay. 1.00

00:45:50.000 You're still fat, Brian. 1.00

00:45:52.000 You're the weakest of them all. 0.99

00:45:54.000 Well, I guess I understand.

00:45:55.000 How do you still have a job?

00:45:58.000 He's not healed yet.

00:45:59.000 So here's the thing, though.

00:46:00.000 Why would former Vice President Joe Biden be so interested in the Ukraine?

00:46:04.000 Why is he paying such close attention?

00:46:06.000 Could it be?

00:46:07.000 They were walking out to the press conference.

00:46:10.000 I said, we're not going to give you the billion dollars.

00:46:14.000 They said, you have no authority.

00:46:15.000 You're not the president.

00:46:16.000 The president said, I said, call him.

00:46:19.000 I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars.

00:46:22.000 I said, you're not getting a billion.

00:46:23.000 I'm going to be leaving here.

00:46:24.000 I think it was what, six hours.

00:46:25.000 I look, I said, I'm leaving in six hours.

00:46:27.000 If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money. 1.00

00:46:30.000 Oh, son of a bitch. 1.00

00:46:33.000 Got fired. 1.00

00:46:34.000 Oh, he was talking about the other guy.

00:46:36.000 Oh, that's weird.

00:46:37.000 Also, that's not a crime.

00:46:41.000 It's highly illegal.

00:46:45.000 Just to be clear.

00:46:47.000 I was being sarcastic.

00:46:49.000 That's a crime.

00:46:51.000 Oh, you mean irregular?

00:46:52.000 No, I don't.

00:46:53.000 No, I don't.

00:46:54.000 Frowned upon?

00:46:55.000 Illegal.

00:46:56.000 Felony.

00:46:56.000 Jail time.

00:46:57.000 Agree to disagree?

00:46:59.000 We don't.

00:46:59.000 Nope.

00:47:00.000 McGruff would be upset.

00:47:02.000 Only you can take a bite out of former Vice President Biden.

00:47:06.000 And also, just to be, one thing that a lot of people don't know is Hunter, you know, obviously had his issues with Ukraine.

00:47:11.000 After he got out of trouble with Ukraine, and I believe we have an exclusive, he had an emergency visit to a doctor for a Parmesan cheese nose.

00:47:20.000 My nose is so stuffed.

00:47:21.000 It's just gotta be COVID.

00:47:23.000 Well, your test came back negative for COVID, but your nasal cavities are clogged with Parmesan cheese.

00:47:30.000 I swear.

00:47:30.000 I thought it was cocaine.

00:47:32.000 Good for you.

00:47:33.000 Let's try clear, Hunter.

00:47:36.000 It's clear?

00:47:37.000 Yes.

00:47:38.000 It's made by Clear Ink, which is recognized as the leading manufacturer of xylitol-based products in North America.

00:47:44.000 And, uh, this nasal spray is, uh, all-natural.

00:47:47.000 All-natural?

00:47:48.000 What does that mean?

00:47:50.000 Uh, well, that it's drug-free.

00:47:51.000 Drug-free? 0.99

00:47:53.000 That sucks. 0.98

00:47:54.000 Parmesan is also drug-free. 0.98

00:47:56.000 Just try the spray.

00:48:02.000 Wow!

00:48:05.000 I can breathe!

00:48:06.000 Right!

00:48:07.000 Breathing is important for a person.

00:48:08.000 Unless that person has dirt on you, right?

00:48:12.000 Wow.

00:48:13.000 Uh, let's just be glad that it worked.

00:48:15.000 I sure did.

00:48:16.000 Thanks for showing me the clear way, Doc.

00:48:19.000 It's my pleasure.

00:48:20.000 Can you do one more favor for me?

00:48:22.000 Sure.

00:48:23.000 Hold on to this laptop for me?

00:48:25.000 Uh, no.

00:48:27.000 No.

00:48:29.000 Deal.

00:48:29.000 Alright.

00:48:30.000 How about a quick prescription of 200 Percocet?

00:48:34.000 Get out of my office.

00:48:35.000 Alright.

00:48:36.000 Got some Gouda at home.

00:48:38.000 I told you to quit smoking Gouda!

00:48:42.000 No!

00:48:43.000 And speaking of consistency, wonderful sponsors, and they became a sponsor to the show because they heard me talking about them.

00:48:48.000 Yeah.

00:48:48.000 It's a product that I've used.

00:48:50.000 You can actually go, it's clear.com and clear with an X. And the reason is because it uses something called xylitol in there.

00:48:55.000 Now, I encourage you to do your own research, go to the website, you can go to PubMed and read the actual approved data, clinical trials, clinical studies that have shown that this actually cleans out your nasal cavity, like reduces the adhesion factor for things like COVID viruses in your nasal cavity by like 99%.

00:49:11.000 You know, you think about it, you brush your teeth, you take a shower. 0.97

00:49:14.000 Think of all the crap you're breathing in. 0.99

00:49:16.000 What are you doing to clean this? 1.00

00:49:18.000 Especially around Dave.

00:49:19.000 Yeah.

00:49:20.000 I mean, if it works for Hunter, it'll work for you.

00:49:23.000 This is doctor recommended.

00:49:24.000 What I mean by that is some doctors.

00:49:27.000 I would never say all doctors like a self-shedding vaccine.

00:49:31.000 No.

00:49:32.000 So I wouldn't be so bold even though it's drug-free and works for far more people.

00:49:36.000 Doctors in Taiwan, I think.

00:49:37.000 Even though I feel it works, it doesn't mean that I'm going to run up to you and force it in your nose.

00:49:42.000 Right, yeah, exactly. 0.99

00:49:44.000 You have a dirty nose! 0.97

00:49:46.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:49:46.000 Although, xylitol waterboarding wouldn't be a bad idea. 0.99

00:49:49.000 It wouldn't be.

00:49:50.000 Like, wow, this is very effective.

00:49:52.000 You know what, just as a thank you, I think I'll give you the information you need.

00:49:57.000 So go to xclear.com for more info.

00:49:59.000 Really, I recommend you read the literature, the scientific data.

00:50:02.000 Okay, so last week, this is something we really wanted to... Russia, the Ukraine, but more specifically what's happening with Russia and China.

00:50:09.000 I was watching former Vice President Biden's very short speech for the largest military action taken since World War II on one country against another.

00:50:18.000 I was like, really?

00:50:18.000 That was it?

00:50:19.000 That was his speech?

00:50:20.000 It was very, very brief.

00:50:21.000 But when I watched it and I heard what he was saying, and I want to get to it, then it forced me to do some digging.

00:50:27.000 I immediately was concerned that, ah, This seems like the kind of play that could force Russia into a corner to create some kind of an alliance or partnership with China.

00:50:41.000 And see if you can understand why I might have thought that last week.

00:50:46.000 Mr. President, you didn't mention SWIFT in your sanctions that you announced.

00:50:50.000 Is there a reason why the U.S.

00:50:53.000 isn't doing that?

00:50:54.000 Is there a disagreement among allies regarding SWIFT and whether Russia should be allowed to be a part of it?

00:51:01.000 The sanctions that we've proposed on all their banks have an equal consequence, maybe more consequence than SWIFT, number one.

00:51:08.000 Number two, It is always an option, but right now that's not the position that the rest of Europe wishes to take.

00:51:16.000 Okay, so you've been talking about the economic sanctions, which by the way is not nearly as severe as the swift.

00:51:22.000 Still buying oil?

00:51:23.000 Yes, we're still doing that.

00:51:24.000 Okay, just making sure.

00:51:26.000 Yeah.

00:51:27.000 825,000 barrels a day roughly?

00:51:28.000 50-something?

00:51:29.000 Okay, yeah, just making sure.

00:51:30.000 You should give them six hours to fire poop.

00:51:33.000 Here's the thing, and I want to talk about this before we finish this segment, because a lot of people say, what should we do?

00:51:37.000 And they always look to what we can do internationally.

00:51:39.000 You can't control what other countries do.

00:51:40.000 There's a lot that we can do here at home. 0.99

00:51:42.000 And so for all of his faults, Donald Trump took actions here at home to make sure that we would be less affected by this bullshit. 0.98

00:51:48.000 Okay, just to be clear. 0.98

00:51:49.000 There are still actions that we can take right now.

00:51:51.000 that would not only hurt Russia but would help Americans, help mitigate the damage done to

00:51:55.000 everyday Americans, but that's really not of concern to this president. So there are practical

00:52:00.000 solutions that we should all be on board with. Of course we can't because there really isn't a

00:52:04.000 middle. When people try to say I'm a centrist, no, there's a radical left and there's a big

00:52:08.000 old right-wing tent. That's what you've got right now.

00:52:10.000 Think about, and I mean that for a second, Before I move on with the segment, people always say, like, oh, well, you know, it's actually the extremists on the right.

00:52:17.000 CPAC just happened.

00:52:18.000 If you look at the list of speakers, you look at the list of people, you have people like a Donald Trump, and then you have libertarians, let's say, but you have people who believe that black tar heroin should be legal and should be a state issue, and then you have people who are basically Mennonites. 0.84

00:52:30.000 This is the right wing.

00:52:31.000 On the left, you're excoriated if you're simply liberal.

00:52:35.000 You can't be liberal and pro-life.

00:52:38.000 You can't be allowed on the liberal platform and pro-gun.

00:52:41.000 Bernie Sanders, when he was in a primary, had to justify why he was the only person on that stage to not get an F from the NRA.

00:52:50.000 He only achieved a D-.

00:52:51.000 And he had to apologize.

00:52:53.000 How's that for rigid?

00:52:56.000 So, concerned that obviously this can start driving Russia into the arms of China.

00:53:00.000 Why?

00:53:01.000 Because when you put these economic sanctions on them, they need to have some kind of business alliances, some kind of financial interests.

00:53:07.000 That's a dangerous place to be, and I get that it's a sticky situation.

00:53:10.000 Here's the thing.

00:53:11.000 It continued.

00:53:12.000 Well, actually, I think this actually happened, then Biden said, put my name on there, like with the Nord Stream pipeline.

00:53:17.000 Leave me a place to sign.

00:53:18.000 But European Commission President Ursula von Derlain.

00:53:23.000 Ursula von Derlain.

00:53:25.000 Do it in Swedish, Jeff, it's better.

00:53:27.000 Ursula von Derlain! 1.00

00:53:29.000 There you go, see?

00:53:31.000 Perfect.

00:53:35.000 Then announced that they would expel Russian banks from the SWIFT system.

00:53:38.000 I will now propose to EU leaders the following measures.

00:53:42.000 First, we commit to ensuring that a certain number of Russian banks are removed from SWIFT.

00:53:52.000 This will ensure that these banks are disconnected from the international financial system and harm their ability to operate globally.

00:54:02.000 SWIFT is the world's dominant global interbank payment system.

00:54:07.000 Cutting banks off will stop them from conducting most of their financial transactions worldwide and effectively block Russian exports and imports.

00:54:18.000 And she went on to sing Evita Sing G'night.

00:54:20.000 Oh, did she?

00:54:20.000 Does Mr. Belding know that Zach did this speech?

00:54:27.000 Mr. Bolling, cut them off from those Swift bikes!

00:54:32.000 So, White House, Canada, UK did the same thing.

00:54:36.000 And then what happened immediately after this, Gerald?

00:54:37.000 You're a learned man.

00:54:38.000 Well, Putin, of course, backed down and left Ukraine hat in hand.

00:54:42.000 No, no, no.

00:54:43.000 He took it one step further and he actually put his nuclear forces on alert.

00:54:47.000 Yeah.

00:54:47.000 Right?

00:54:48.000 This is based on the presumption that Russia won't...

00:54:51.000 Oh no, you're going to remove our ability to bank legitimately internationally?

00:54:56.000 It's almost like you're following protocol of drug war, but following on international diplomacy.

00:55:01.000 Where will I make my revenue?

00:55:03.000 Oh no!

00:55:04.000 My nuke runs on quarters.

00:55:06.000 Yes, what will I do? 0.96

00:55:08.000 It used to run on dimes, but inflation is a bitch for all of us. 0.94

00:55:15.000 Oil is very expensive. 0.57

00:55:15.000 It also accepts 50 million rubles. 0.57

00:55:18.000 My tanks take premium.

00:55:20.000 But it's hard to fit in slot.

00:55:22.000 Oh my gosh.

00:55:23.000 Well, I feel like, look, you do have to step up sanctions, right?

00:55:26.000 You don't just go all the way to the very end first, and cutting them off on Swift, that's a big deal.

00:55:31.000 When in Russia they were facing some really high inflation.

00:55:34.000 I think it was somewhere around 9 or 10 percent.

00:55:35.000 Barely above the United States.

00:55:37.000 I've heard numbers from 9 all the way up to 20.

00:55:39.000 Well now it's 20.

00:55:40.000 For people who don't know, SWIFT, it's an international, it was an international, like a rapid banking system.

00:55:46.000 It allows rapid payments.

00:55:48.000 So each loaf of bread will be 9 percent less as big?

00:55:51.000 No, that's not quite how it works.

00:55:53.000 That sounds nightmarish.

00:55:54.000 So inflation goes up, right?

00:55:55.000 So what is the Fed thinking about doing here in the United States?

00:55:57.000 Well, they're thinking about raising interest rates.

00:55:59.000 Well, the problem with that is that there's only so many things you can do.

00:56:02.000 And just this morning, the Russian National, or the Russian Central Bank, sorry, I was going to say National Bank, was actually cut off.

00:56:09.000 So now they don't have the tools.

00:56:11.000 Basically, they freeze all the assets that are held here in the United States.

00:56:14.000 United States citizens and businesses cannot do business there anymore.

00:56:18.000 Right.

00:56:18.000 And so now Russia's backed into even a further corner.

00:56:20.000 Right.

00:56:21.000 And so a man like Putin goes, all right, I'm backed into a corner.

00:56:23.000 You didn't think I was going to come over the top of your raise.

00:56:26.000 I'm saying nuclear missiles.

00:56:27.000 Right.

00:56:28.000 High alert right now.

00:56:29.000 Your move.

00:56:30.000 Yeah, Biden said, these sanctions are just as severe as war.

00:56:34.000 Someone asked him, I think, a question, would you say these are severe as the dead Ukrainians? 0.99

00:56:38.000 More! 0.72

00:56:39.000 It's worse!

00:56:40.000 What?

00:56:41.000 You know, you can't buy happiness, but you know, you can't bring a dead kid back.

00:56:47.000 It's like the money, you know, it's the South.

00:56:50.000 It'll work.

00:56:51.000 What are you saying? 1.00

00:56:52.000 I want to kill my kids. 1.00

00:56:53.000 Well, this has created a problem. 0.99

00:56:56.000 This has created a problem where now goods are more expensive and also the value of the ruble has dropped like 30 percent.

00:57:01.000 About 30 percent.

00:57:03.000 And so he met at a really long table.

00:57:05.000 If you watch any news channel, you'll see him at this table.

00:57:07.000 They should stop producing really long tables and maybe focus on the economy or producing jobs.

00:57:12.000 He's got like a 70-foot table and two people on the other end to talk about the economy.

00:57:16.000 Mr. Putin, we have that financial report.

00:57:17.000 Stop! 1.00

00:57:18.000 We're at a lengthening table!

00:57:20.000 We need more people!

00:57:21.000 Stop! 1.00

00:57:21.000 I can't focus! 1.00

00:57:22.000 You keep this, I can't focus on how long I will make table!

00:57:26.000 Go get, make yourself useful, get tape measurer and a solid block of oak.

00:57:31.000 Send them to Goulard.

00:57:31.000 It's like the dinner with Kim Basinger and Michael Keaton in Batman.

00:57:34.000 I'll just come down there, alright?

00:57:36.000 Bring my gruel.

00:57:39.000 You know, I don't think I've ever been in this room.

00:57:42.000 So basically, they didn't let their stock market open.

00:57:44.000 They didn't want the ruble to continue to fall.

00:57:45.000 But as it devalues in world currency, right, they're less able to manage this crisis.

00:57:51.000 And so that's what we're talking about, creating an issue like the Treaty of Versailles, which you said.

00:57:55.000 It pushed two people who had been at war with each other, Russia and Germany, during World War I, into being allies.

00:58:02.000 Very, very quickly after that.

00:58:04.000 And so in World War II, that's why they started out on the same team until Hitler attacked Russia.

00:58:08.000 He would have been on the same team with the guy for a little longer.

00:58:11.000 That's the same thing that can happen with China, right? 0.67

00:58:13.000 So you're now pushing people who naturally can be a little bit of... That's a really, really good point because a lot of people say, well, a lot of people have said actually, Well, it's not really a concern because, you know, Putin is really anti-communist, which, I don't know.

00:58:26.000 I mean, I think he says it, but okay.

00:58:30.000 I don't necessarily know that I trust him.

00:58:31.000 I do believe that he is concerned more with Russia's national interests.

00:58:35.000 I do believe that.

00:58:36.000 Now, I believe he's concerned with Russia's national interests at the cost of certain Russians, not only other members of, well, of Eastern Europe.

00:58:45.000 But this is also important to note where you're talking about you can push people who would be natural enemies into becoming friends.

00:58:50.000 Putin, right?

00:58:51.000 Russia, they've stockpiled, just to be clear, $630 billion of international foreign currency.

00:58:58.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:58:59.000 And 14% of that is held in China.

00:59:02.000 And so it may not be convenient most of the time for these guys to be friends, but if you're backed into a corner and you have no way out, You tend to go to somebody who can help, and they're close, right?

00:59:02.000 Right.

00:59:11.000 So Russia is the largest producer of wheat in the world.

00:59:14.000 I didn't really know this.

00:59:15.000 I knew they were pretty high up there.

00:59:16.000 Well, technically it's true.

00:59:17.000 We are the largest producer, but... No, there's the table I was talking about.

00:59:24.000 Look at that!

00:59:25.000 Wait, was that Donald Trump there?

00:59:26.000 No.

00:59:27.000 I couldn't see who was at the end of the table.

00:59:28.000 Like, hey!

00:59:29.000 Is that?

00:59:30.000 We build the tables, then we build the room around it.

00:59:30.000 No?

00:59:33.000 It's like, come on, guys!

00:59:33.000 Yes.

00:59:35.000 Hey, President Trump! 1.00

00:59:37.000 Fuck you! 1.00

00:59:38.000 No, fuck you! 1.00

00:59:39.000 Send it down to him. 1.00

00:59:40.000 Come over here and say to my face, I don't have the time.

00:59:43.000 Table is filled with wheat.

00:59:45.000 Why so big?

00:59:46.000 Yes, it's also act as great insulator.

00:59:49.000 It's vacuum sealed with wheat.

00:59:51.000 Yeah, exactly. 1.00

00:59:52.000 What a stupid table. 1.00

00:59:55.000 That's how they measure dicks in Russia, is these giant stupid tables. 1.00

00:59:58.000 And how far you can put people you need to be able to pass papers between down the table. 1.00

01:00:03.000 He just walks over to a, he's just walking over to the White House and he's like, Okay.

01:00:08.000 Can you pass the pepper?

01:00:10.000 Do you think I have the time?

01:00:11.000 15 feet, that's not 45 feet.

01:00:13.000 I am not unemployed, I am a busy man.

01:00:16.000 Hold on.

01:00:17.000 Let me ask Slave on Stilts.

01:00:19.000 Hey, bring... Slave on Stilts. 1.00

01:00:20.000 Yes.

01:00:21.000 Bring me choo-choo to solve past shorts. 0.96

01:00:23.000 Yes.

01:00:24.000 I asked for long table.

01:00:26.000 Long!

01:00:27.000 This is the smallest table I've ever sat at.

01:00:30.000 This is not... You call this dining room table?

01:00:30.000 What is this?

01:00:32.000 This is like coffee table.

01:00:34.000 What is this?

01:00:35.000 This is like... This in Russia is nightstand. 0.55

01:00:38.000 Oh my gosh.

01:00:38.000 I put my feet on it to watch television.

01:00:40.000 Yes.

01:00:40.000 It's a meeting room.

01:00:42.000 Who's gonna be intimidated by this?

01:00:47.000 Okay, well look, let me get back to Russia.

01:00:49.000 It takes me nine weeks to poison guests.

01:00:52.000 It's tough.

01:00:55.000 Alright, so wheat, tribals, and... Hold on!

01:01:01.000 If I drink your milkshake... Can you catch the can?

01:01:12.000 He's got a screen down there, he's like, can you set up camera and put on TV next to me?

01:01:16.000 I can't see them.

01:01:17.000 I need to be head of table, but I can't hear him.

01:01:19.000 I cannot hear him.

01:01:21.000 Are you rolling your eyes?

01:01:22.000 Are you?

01:01:23.000 Hey, talk, Mr. Glenn Close lookalike, talk into speaker.

01:01:30.000 You have to heat talk!

01:01:30.000 Yes.

01:01:31.000 I can't hear you!

01:01:33.000 Tell that grand home lady who threatened me to come closer. 1.00

01:01:35.000 Yes, yes, yes.

01:01:37.000 I will wait for her by setting calendar.

01:01:41.000 All right, go ahead there.

01:01:42.000 But obviously they're also known for natural gas.

01:01:44.000 This table is longer than our winters!

01:01:48.000 That's how you know it's good stuff.

01:01:50.000 That's how you know it's good.

01:01:51.000 It's hilarious.

01:01:52.000 I mean, it's just worth talking.

01:01:53.000 It really is the funniest table I've ever seen.

01:01:55.000 So the company behind, Gazprom, right?

01:01:57.000 So the biggest oil company there, natural gas producer, which was stolen by the state, by the way, from a private company.

01:02:02.000 I'm not going to get into that.

01:02:03.000 They're the company behind the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

01:02:05.000 They signed in February a 30-year deal with Russia to pump in gas, right?

01:02:10.000 So China and Russia now have a deal, a 30-year deal.

01:02:13.000 And Russia is already China's second largest oil supplier.

01:02:16.000 Right.

01:02:17.000 So China is getting tons of resources from these guys.

01:02:19.000 And I just told you about the wheat just a second ago.

01:02:22.000 They just opened up a deal that they had signed, I think, about a month or two ago.

01:02:25.000 They just fast tracked it so they could get more wheat into China.

01:02:28.000 Right.

01:02:28.000 So there's, you know, in 2021, the trade between these two countries was a record $150 billion.

01:02:35.000 In the next two or three years, they want to be at $200 billion.

01:02:37.000 That's not going to blunt this, but it is going to help.

01:02:40.000 But to be clear, Again, they're not necessarily, people would say they're not natural allies.

01:02:45.000 But it's not like there's this embargo.

01:02:46.000 It's not like it's an entirely cold, it's not like it's an entirely frigid relationship.

01:02:50.000 They are trading partners.

01:02:51.000 They're strengthening ties.

01:02:53.000 And they are strengthening ties right now.

01:02:55.000 And this is what happens when you, if you just, if you just try and cripple someone economically, those without any kind of military action, it's a half in measure.

01:03:04.000 And these people have to find some kind of, they have to.

01:03:08.000 Exactly.

01:03:09.000 They have to find an alliance.

01:03:10.000 And right now, China, of course, is the one who wants to greet them with open arms. 0.60

01:03:14.000 And that's to Lane's point the other day.

01:03:14.000 Right.

01:03:16.000 He's right that if you do this to Russia, they will get closer to China. 0.85

01:03:21.000 And that's a big problem because every single issue that we face geopolitically, whether it's the climate change accords or whatever we're trying to do, China is always the wild card. 0.86

01:03:30.000 I am warming up to China, but I keep them at tables length. 0.99

01:03:36.000 It's actually safer for the people at the table because they can't kill you and miss you.

01:03:40.000 11,000 seats.

01:03:41.000 I need Nord Stream Pipeline to bring guests through table. 0.62

01:03:45.000 That's how they bring that gift to Putin is a longer table.

01:03:48.000 Yes, longer table.

01:03:50.000 How many tables is your pipeline?

01:03:52.000 We would like to present this gift to Vladimir Putin.

01:03:57.000 It's just they have like Dr. Seuss Who characters.

01:04:01.000 We get a Statue of Liberty from France, they get a long table from China. 0.99

01:04:04.000 We need four more Liberty ships to bring things. 0.99

01:04:08.000 I like when my dinner is presented in silver tray that is opened with smaller person in tray and then smaller person for two miles.

01:04:16.000 Then it's reached me and I go, oh, that's our food. 0.73

01:04:20.000 I would shoot you from this table, but from this distance, the bullet would stray. 0.91

01:04:24.000 Who am I, an Olympian? 0.99

01:04:28.000 So, here's also something important.

01:04:30.000 China is supporting, right now, Russia diplomatically.

01:04:32.000 They've made it pretty damn clear.

01:04:34.000 The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Hua Chunying, discussed Western sanctions saying, this is, there's some quotes, China always opposes any illegal unilateral sanctions.

01:04:44.000 The U.S.

01:04:45.000 has imposed more than 100 sanctions on Russia since 2011, which not only failed to solve the issue, but also harmed the legitimate rights and interests Of others.

01:04:53.000 This is not just the foreign ministry.

01:04:57.000 People always hold me to the standard of saying the names properly.

01:04:59.000 You can't do it right.

01:05:00.000 I'm American.

01:05:00.000 I almost said Chun-Li.

01:05:00.000 I don't care.

01:05:02.000 I will when he can pronounce Steven Crowder.

01:05:04.000 That's two R's. 0.97

01:05:05.000 You have any idea how impossible that is?

01:05:07.000 So, the top diplomat in China also made these statements, or expressed these statements, I guess I have to say, to be careful, with the German foreign minister.

01:05:16.000 China disapproves of the use of sanctions to solve problems, still less unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law.

01:05:23.000 And there's plenty of evidence, too, beyond this, beyond just what they've said, official Chinese spokespersons, and beyond what we see in the hundreds of billions of dollars in trade, and beyond what we see in these growing stronger ties, there's more to it than that.

01:05:36.000 Yeah, they've actually refused to call this an invasion.

01:05:39.000 I think they're calling it, they just went for a walk in another country with weapons.

01:05:44.000 Yeah, he walking his dog around the table.

01:05:46.000 Yeah, what's he doing?

01:05:47.000 And then Hoyway actually is training, I think, 50,000 Russians in cyber defense because right now the cyber attacks are probably pretty high on Russia.

01:05:55.000 Obviously, they were dealing with some of that.

01:05:56.000 And I just talked about the wheat restrictions a minute ago.

01:05:59.000 Like, that's a big deal.

01:06:00.000 I just kind of threw it in there.

01:06:01.000 They just dropped them.

01:06:02.000 But do you know what also is one of the biggest kind of products of Ukraine?

01:06:06.000 Wheat.

01:06:07.000 They were known as the breadbasket of the Soviet Union, so to speak.

01:06:11.000 And so there's a lot of ties to this.

01:06:13.000 So China is doing everything that they can.

01:06:15.000 Everything about that whole place sounds terrible.

01:06:17.000 Well, wheat doesn't sound bad.

01:06:18.000 Well, technically we have biggest supply of wheat in the world, but 20 to 98% is used for vodka.

01:06:27.000 Well, but have you seen the wheat around Chernobyl?

01:06:29.000 Massive.

01:06:30.000 Really large stalks.

01:06:31.000 Yes, but unfortunately you can grow fifth nipple. 1.00

01:06:34.000 Wait, you mean third?

01:06:35.000 Fifth.

01:06:36.000 Now you become super.

01:06:37.000 It wins you a prize at a fair.

01:06:38.000 Or very dead.

01:06:39.000 Does my goiter look swollen?

01:06:45.000 All right.

01:06:46.000 Well, you know.

01:06:47.000 The point is, this is getting pretty, this is getting significant.

01:06:50.000 It's really bad.

01:06:51.000 The idea of a China-Russia alliance, especially as we've talked about Taiwan, that is World War III.

01:06:51.000 Yeah.

01:06:59.000 That is World War III, if that kind of a superpower is created.

01:07:04.000 Not saying we're there yet, but the signs are here.

01:07:08.000 Diplomatically, economically, there have been major changes, and now you have a country that is really hell-bent on wanting to be a world superpower, right?

01:07:17.000 There's a lot of saber-rattling, and they also want to be independent and not beholden to these international committees, which I can understand the sentiment of that.

01:07:26.000 Being forced to prove that they're a superpower.

01:07:29.000 Yeah.

01:07:30.000 If someone starts saying, like, screaming that they're a superpower, what you want to do is like, yeah, yeah, you're a superpower, we get it.

01:07:36.000 And you move on.

01:07:37.000 You don't want to say, no, you're not.

01:07:39.000 Right.

01:07:40.000 Now wait till I get to that other side of the table!

01:07:40.000 I'll show you!

01:07:43.000 Well, when you have a billion people just in one country. 0.98

01:07:47.000 Several madmen.

01:07:48.000 And it's a totally different thing that if you bring China into this equation, everything changes immediately. 0.96

01:07:53.000 Immediately.

01:07:54.000 For the entire world.

01:07:55.000 Like the rest of the world against China and Russia would be a hard fight.

01:07:57.000 Like the end of the world, potentially?

01:07:59.000 Depending on how bad this could get.

01:08:00.000 He has a Napoleonic complex and we're like, hey, we're going to sanction your banks and he's like, here's the content, you want me to push?

01:08:06.000 And Xi Jinping is shorter than actual Napoleon.

01:08:09.000 Well, yes.

01:08:10.000 Yeah, when you have a royal flush, make sure you fold immediately.

01:08:13.000 So here's the thing, even the Chinese internet is cheering Putin on.

01:08:18.000 The most exciting day of 2022 is today.

01:08:22.000 Because today Russia attacked Ukraine.

01:08:25.000 That's a weird filter.

01:08:26.000 I'm so happy today.

01:08:29.000 My worries are gone.

01:08:32.000 Exciting.

01:08:34.000 It's like seeing China's restoration.

01:08:36.000 Feels like we are going to conquer Taiwan shortly.

01:08:40.000 Her husband's head is blown over the walls for a few days. 0.99

01:08:51.000 That's weird, a smoking Chinese man. 1.00

01:08:59.000 Hahaha. 0.97

01:09:01.000 I'm not sure what he's saying.

01:09:03.000 Only national and democratic interests are above all else.

01:09:08.000 I'm going to go to bed.

01:09:08.000 chip.

01:09:10.000 That smoking Chinese man, next thing you know you're gonna tell me he's putting nine crates of chickens on a Honda Cub. 1.00

01:09:14.000 Weird. 0.84

01:09:15.000 Can't happen.

01:09:16.000 Here's the thing, now I also understand what some of you are thinking.

01:09:18.000 OK, before you comment, although it does help the algorithm, so comment below on whatever it is.

01:09:22.000 But before you say it, yes, that probably is Chinese propaganda.

01:09:25.000 But that makes it worse.

01:09:27.000 That makes it worse.

01:09:28.000 Because TikTok, just so you know, we've talked about this, they favor Chinese propaganda posts.

01:09:32.000 Any nationalist posts for China, things that come down from the CCP and some of these influencers are paid.

01:09:38.000 Here, you're paid to promote yoga pants or tea or whatever the hell it is.

01:09:42.000 And it's probably bogus tea that doesn't work to help you lose weight.

01:09:44.000 Over there, you're paid to promote the government.

01:09:47.000 And then TikTok favors you.

01:09:49.000 So it's worse, if that is Chinese propaganda.

01:09:51.000 I'm not saying that I didn't watch it and go, this seems like it might be scripted, all so I could see the reflection in the window of the guy holding a gun to his head.

01:09:59.000 I thought it would be a creative choice.

01:10:00.000 Well, Chinese women, rarely I feel like she was speaking from the heart.

01:10:04.000 I feel like that was something that she was forced to say.

01:10:04.000 Yes.

01:10:07.000 Yeah.

01:10:07.000 Well, exactly.

01:10:08.000 They're not free to speak, period, in China.

01:10:10.000 Right, but for some reason now she has an opinion on war strategy and her idol's food.

01:10:15.000 Such a handsome, that's when you know she's scared.

01:10:17.000 Putin, he's very handsome.

01:10:19.000 Oh, he's so big and he's so handsome.

01:10:21.000 He's so big!

01:10:22.000 He's handsome, have very big tick table.

01:10:26.000 Please let me keep one of my...

01:10:28.000 Just one of my babies, please.

01:10:31.000 So by the way, also a translation of one of Putin's speeches.

01:10:36.000 I had to reread this.

01:10:37.000 Was this a misprint?

01:10:40.000 1.1 billion views on Weibo in 24 hours.

01:10:44.000 Wow.

01:10:45.000 That's insane.

01:10:46.000 That's a lot of views.

01:10:49.000 1.1 billion views.

01:10:50.000 You can get 1.1 billion views on almost anything.

01:10:53.000 Ever.

01:10:54.000 And Putin's speech is going to get that?

01:10:56.000 Just a translation.

01:10:57.000 That's like a seventh of the world or something.

01:10:59.000 And here's something else.

01:11:00.000 We're talking about the missteps that have been taken.

01:11:01.000 Don't forget that former Vice President Biden had the bright idea of sharing US intel on Russian troops with who?

01:11:11.000 China!

01:11:11.000 You can read this from the New York Times.

01:11:14.000 This isn't some bastion of right-wing conservatism. 1.00

01:11:18.000 What an asshole. 1.00

01:11:19.000 Let me draw it on the ground. 1.00

01:11:21.000 We're here.

01:11:22.000 They're there.

01:11:23.000 Hold on a second.

01:11:25.000 Let me draw you a map.

01:11:26.000 A map and a list of my schedule and hobbies.

01:11:29.000 I told China I didn't think they were going to use it against us.

01:11:31.000 And how many artillery pieces did you say?

01:11:33.000 Yeah.

01:11:34.000 It's like, all right, we're having a sit-down.

01:11:36.000 Geraldo, former Vice President Biden, thank you for being here.

01:11:40.000 You have a problem with oversharing.

01:11:43.000 Yeah.

01:11:44.000 Well, I was caring.

01:11:45.000 That's why I told him I had six hours.

01:11:47.000 Okay, stop admitting to crimes.

01:11:50.000 I didn't.

01:11:51.000 I said I was the big guy. 1.00

01:11:52.000 You said I. I am the big guy, son of a bitch. 1.00

01:11:54.000 Oh, here we go. 1.00

01:11:55.000 Please stop. 1.00

01:11:55.000 Just shut up. 1.00

01:11:57.000 It's okay, you'll never be charged. 1.00

01:11:59.000 This is from the New York Times.

01:12:00.000 Over three months, senior Biden administration officials held half a dozen urgent meetings with top Chinese officials in which the Americans presented intelligence showing Russia's troop buildup around Ukraine.

01:12:11.000 Another quote, U.S.

01:12:12.000 officials got intelligence showing Beijing had shared the information Immediately.

01:12:18.000 With Moscow. 0.79

01:12:20.000 Telling the Russians that the United States was trying to sow discord.

01:12:27.000 It's like we're our own worst enemy.

01:12:29.000 It's a game of international telephone with nukes.

01:12:32.000 Ah, yes.

01:12:34.000 It's like America knows they're just being babysat by their grandpa or like the country, the world just is like, oh, this This dude has dementia or babysitter. He just do whatever

01:12:42.000 he want?

01:12:43.000 Here's the thing. I also, I've said this before, I can see arguments on almost all, I try to on

01:12:48.000 all sides of the issue. For example, I'm pro-life, but I understand the people who may not understand

01:12:52.000 the science behind fertilization, DNA. They don't believe that. I can understand why someone holds

01:12:57.000 that position. I can understand why some, I don't agree with it. I can understand why someone holds

01:13:00.000 a position of abortion for rape and outside of, you know, rape and incest, or sorry, abortion

01:13:05.000 for rape and incest is the exception. I don't necessarily agree with it.

01:13:07.000 I understand it.

01:13:08.000 I can understand why some people who are uneducated on the idea of net transfers from federal income tax maybe think that people need to pay their fair share.

01:13:17.000 I can understand that.

01:13:19.000 I don't agree with it, but I can understand why someone might maintain these positions.

01:13:23.000 There are some scenarios that I can't, and maybe you can comment and let me know.

01:13:28.000 I've always said this.

01:13:30.000 Or school choice?

01:13:31.000 The idea of school choice.

01:13:33.000 I've never heard an argument that is logical or convincing, meaning one that I even believe someone who's arguing that position, namely being anti-school choice, one that they believe.

01:13:43.000 I don't understand here the argument that former vice president had.

01:13:50.000 How would he present the case for why sharing with China intel on the Russian troop buildup was a good idea?

01:14:00.000 You got me.

01:14:02.000 Any purpose?

01:14:03.000 Not.

01:14:03.000 I don't think.

01:14:05.000 Seriously, I'm not being facetious.

01:14:06.000 Can anyone think of why?

01:14:08.000 No.

01:14:09.000 Literally no.

01:14:10.000 I really do think he's naive.

01:14:11.000 I think he thinks we have a standing with the global community right now that we don't have.

01:14:15.000 And he's going to China thinking, all right, we're going to keep China on our side by doing this.

01:14:19.000 And China's just laughing at him. 0.98

01:14:20.000 They've been laughing at him since before he was elected.

01:14:24.000 Yeah, he's not afraid.

01:14:27.000 I don't know if he's not afraid of them.

01:14:28.000 He's just not aware of anything and they know it.

01:14:31.000 And he thinks he's more powerful than he is.

01:14:34.000 That's the sad part.

01:14:36.000 If they become an alliance, we're losing our power.

01:14:40.000 That's the reality. 1.00

01:14:44.000 For me, China would do some of the same kind of stupid stuff. 1.00

01:14:46.000 Or at least fighting over the power. 1.00

01:14:47.000 Maybe some guy just spoke really good English and said he was Hunter.

01:14:53.000 Just keeps calling them for information.

01:14:55.000 Hello, Dad!

01:14:58.000 How you doing?

01:15:01.000 Oh, Hunter, it's you again.

01:15:03.000 You sound different.

01:15:04.000 Have a cold.

01:15:05.000 It's because I've been taking care of the banks here.

01:15:10.000 Thanks for the job, big guy.

01:15:12.000 The problem with this is that all of this is a joke, but this is how these scenarios spin out of control because you have people who misread the situation and don't understand power and don't understand people that have power and actually exercising it.

01:15:25.000 I'm sorry, Joe Biden, you are not powerful.

01:15:28.000 Somebody like Vladimir Putin or somebody like Xi Jinping who is an autocrat or a dictator, former KGB guy, they may not be powerful in ways that we like, but they wield power.

01:15:38.000 Because they will kill people that disagree with them.

01:15:40.000 They understand its power. 0.97

01:15:41.000 It's terrible.

01:15:41.000 Right.

01:15:42.000 They understand it and they are only threatened by somebody who gets that.

01:15:44.000 And here's the thing.

01:15:46.000 Inherently someone, as opposed to being naive, inherently someone who is willing to commit acts of evil, which you would have to admit, KGB. 0.75

01:15:55.000 That is someone who has to understand human nature.

01:15:57.000 To understand the idea of power, you have to understand human nature.

01:15:59.000 You can look at Xi Jinping, you can look at the genocide that's being committed.

01:16:02.000 And just to be clear, this is me actually being fair.

01:16:04.000 Former Vice President Joe Biden has done nothing to that degree.

01:16:08.000 Not knowingly committing an act of evil to this degree.

01:16:10.000 He called him a killer.

01:16:11.000 He knows Putin's that guy.

01:16:12.000 He knows Putin is that guy in this scenario.

01:16:14.000 But the issue is people who understand and value power have to understand human nature.

01:16:19.000 What does that mean?

01:16:20.000 They understand that human beings are inherently bad, are inherently selfish, if not corrupt.

01:16:25.000 That's where faith comes in.

01:16:27.000 That's the idea of, you know, original sin, the idea of a fallen man, right?

01:16:31.000 This is some people who base their life, and this is one thing with, you know, a lot of people think that the left is inherently more compassionate.

01:16:37.000 It's predicated on the idea that people are inherently good.

01:16:41.000 That people will inherently be altruistic.

01:16:43.000 That, oh, wait a second, yeah, if you give more money to the government, of course people are inherently good.

01:16:48.000 Good will be done with that money.

01:16:49.000 We know that's not true.

01:16:50.000 Wait, people are inherently good?

01:16:51.000 Let's share intel on Russian troop buildups with China.

01:16:55.000 Whereas they're laughing because these are people who willingly commit genocide.

01:16:59.000 These are people who willingly arrest punk rock bands and murder people.

01:17:03.000 And get the Olympics in both cases.

01:17:05.000 Russia and China.

01:17:07.000 And both were doping!

01:17:10.000 It's not even close.

01:17:11.000 No, no.

01:17:12.000 The Russians were doping. 0.99

01:17:13.000 I don't give a rat's ass if someone... What is Russia going to do? 1.00

01:17:16.000 They're going to, what, jump across that table at me? 0.99

01:17:18.000 They not only were doping, if you guys watch this documentary, Icarus, it's fascinating.

01:17:22.000 Oh, it's hilarious, too.

01:17:22.000 They weren't even... People thought the Russians beat the... This is how evil the Russians are.

01:17:27.000 There was the Russian Anti-Doping Commission, I believe was the term, which means the Russian Doping Commission. 0.96

01:17:33.000 Yeah, take anti out.

01:17:35.000 Yes, by the way, what we call it, Russian Anti-Doping Commission, but I think you can read between the lines.

01:17:40.000 Maybe that I scratched out with line, anti.

01:17:43.000 Am I clear?

01:17:44.000 Okay, I go back to my side of the table.

01:17:46.000 So, not only were they... See you Tuesday.

01:17:48.000 Yes, see you Tuesday.

01:17:50.000 He just starts going across the team from Lawrence and Raymond's place.

01:17:54.000 Still walking.

01:17:56.000 They not only were doping, people think like, oh, they would cycle off steroids to beat the test.

01:18:00.000 No.

01:18:01.000 The Russians were so hell-bent on doping that they actually found a way, they had trap doors where they would freeze people's, they would freeze, yeah, people's plural, yeah, I'm using it right, they would freeze folks, I'll use that, clean urine from like months or years ago so that they could immediately, up until competition, still be using obscene amounts of performance-enhancing drugs because that's not the urine that they were using.

01:18:24.000 Well... So it's not the same as beating a test in a letter commissioned to the United States where you cycle on, you cycle off, you have to be subtle.

01:18:30.000 There are kind of ways to find things that maybe aren't like, you know, crazy steroids and performance-enhancing drugs, but maybe things that might be such a small amount, you microdose.

01:18:37.000 No, they were just going, go absolutely crazy and we will then freeze your piss from two years ago.

01:18:43.000 Well...

01:18:44.000 That seems like fine stuff to do, and they also found a way to get the little canisters open.

01:18:50.000 They had locks on them that were supposed to be impenetrable, and they're like, ah yes, we figured out how to open them and then replace the pieces.

01:18:56.000 That would have honestly been my plan in high school.

01:18:59.000 I don't know, man, you want to freeze your piss when it's clean?

01:19:04.000 Let's get some frozen piss and then we can just put it in the jar. 1.00

01:19:06.000 No, they'll watch you pee. 0.65

01:19:08.000 Oh, man.

01:19:09.000 I guess we're in trouble.

01:19:10.000 Well, the thing is, that's not how it worked in Russia.

01:19:12.000 They're just like, here's your free pee.

01:19:14.000 They're like, ah, no, this is great.

01:19:16.000 You have good ideas.

01:19:17.000 Now, of course, you will compete clean.

01:19:18.000 You will go in there and provide urine sample while opening trap door to take urine sample.

01:19:23.000 Enjoy.

01:19:24.000 Am I clear?

01:19:25.000 Do you understand?

01:19:26.000 Do I need to spell it out for you?

01:19:28.000 Keep taking all the drugs!

01:19:31.000 Never stop!

01:19:33.000 And really quickly, I know Russia, China, bad, right? 0.88

01:19:35.000 And a lot of people have said we've been kind of elevating Ukraine to a level that maybe we shouldn't.

01:19:40.000 There's a lot of negative stuff there, there's a lot of corruption, but the way that they are fighting... You can also argue that it was kind of a puppet installment of the Obama administration.

01:19:47.000 Yeah, but the way that they are fighting right now, the citizens of Ukraine, like, I know there's a lot of fake information going around on, you know, Twitter, social media, everywhere, even, you know, news organizations like CNN, but I'm impressed by Zelensky and I'm impressed by the fight that they are putting up.

01:20:03.000 Yeah.

01:20:03.000 So I want to make sure, like, I don't know if anybody, I don't know, I know they have Starlink now from Elon Musk, I know that he just put internet there, and it's like, hey, this is a fantastic development.

01:20:11.000 I don't know if anybody watches from there, but, like, I think the rest of the world, except for the assholes in China, are on your side. 0.97

01:20:17.000 Like, you are the underdog in this fight, and you guys are doing an amazing job from what we see. 0.98

01:20:23.000 The human beings, the citizens.

01:20:24.000 Just like you separate the Chinese citizens from the Communist Chinese Party, right?

01:20:28.000 Correct.

01:20:31.000 The Chinese government, because I have empathy for the Chinese citizens.

01:20:33.000 I'm not a huge fan of the way the Ukraine government was installed.

01:20:36.000 I'm not a huge fan of what their alignments are, because I also don't think that's what benefits the Ukrainian people, just to be clear. 0.97

01:20:44.000 But the people who are standing there and fighting, it is.

01:20:47.000 Your heart has to go out to these people.

01:20:51.000 You have to be inspired by their bravery.

01:20:52.000 And you also have to be terrified.

01:20:55.000 I think it's pretty obvious.

01:20:56.000 Now they're trying to blame Donald Trump.

01:20:58.000 You saw Mitt Romney for Russia.

01:21:01.000 I think it's pretty clear with Russia, we talk about Georgia, we talk about Crimea, now we talk about Ukraine.

01:21:06.000 You're basically talking about kids who were fooling around in class until the tough teacher...

01:21:12.000 Yeah.

01:21:13.000 Donald Trump walked by for three years, and they go right back to acting up.

01:21:17.000 I think we've all seen that happen.

01:21:19.000 Now, if you want to argue there's a delayed reaction, and this is what I think.

01:21:23.000 I want to leave you with this, two things.

01:21:25.000 What we can do here at home in a silver lining.

01:21:27.000 Okay, silver lining here.

01:21:30.000 They always try to argue, right?

01:21:31.000 Anytime something would happen that was good or that was bad with Obama, they would blame it on George Bush.

01:21:35.000 And then anytime something would happen that was good or positive with Donald Trump, they would try and give credit to Obama.

01:21:42.000 The silver lining is we had eight years of Barack Obama.

01:21:44.000 We saw how Russian acted. 1.00

01:21:45.000 We had three years of Donald Trump, and now you're back to four years of former Vice President Biden.

01:21:49.000 It's pretty tough to make that argument twice.

01:21:52.000 In other words, it's pretty tough to go and say, oh, the good that happened under Trump was because of Obama, and now say, yeah, but actually, really, the Russia thing is Trump's fault.

01:22:00.000 But you just said the good that happened under Trump was Barack Obama because there were eight years?

01:22:04.000 Three.

01:22:04.000 And I say three years because the presidency was completely kneecapped by the left because of COVID.

01:22:09.000 And now we're back, and immediately we're back to how it was for eight years.

01:22:12.000 This contrast is really valuable.

01:22:14.000 And there are people who are waking up right now, not just in the United States, but Ukraine, Russia allows you to wake people up across the world.

01:22:22.000 It doesn't take a genius to figure out eight years, three, and then within the first year, year and a half, we're right back to old habits.

01:22:30.000 That is a good thing.

01:22:31.000 We've never in our lifetime had the ability to have the contrast of Eight years, a stark departure with Donald Trump, not even basically Republican until he ran.

01:22:43.000 And then right back to the same person who was former vice president, same exact administration, especially when you see the exact same kinds of results economically, internationally.

01:22:54.000 Look, we had George W. Bush, okay?

01:22:56.000 Lots of wars.

01:22:57.000 Barack Obama, more drone strikes than any president.

01:22:59.000 Continued the wars.

01:23:02.000 Only president in modern American history to not start new wars.

01:23:07.000 Now we're right back at it.

01:23:08.000 I guarantee we're going to be in some kind of a war here before his first term is up, assuming that he makes it that long.

01:23:13.000 He kind of went the Barack Obama route with the fire insurance and bringing in Kamala Harris.

01:23:17.000 Hey, who can I pick as VP?

01:23:19.000 We've selected the person who pulled a dead last in every Democratic primary.

01:23:23.000 Bingo!

01:23:25.000 What else?

01:23:25.000 What can we do here?

01:23:26.000 A lot of people think about, and I would love to hear, you know, again, best thing for the algorithm is comment.

01:23:32.000 Because this is genuine. 0.68

01:23:34.000 It's always easy to just criticize and bitch and not offer any constructive solutions. 1.00

01:23:37.000 Now, I'm not in charge of domestic policy. 0.94

01:23:40.000 However, what I am saying is people who are in charge of domestic policy, I know that you're watching the show.

01:23:45.000 There are a lot of people out there, legislators, representatives who watch this show.

01:23:50.000 We don't have to be dependent on Russia at all for energy.

01:23:53.000 That affects Americans to a dramatic degree when we're talking about inflation, when we're talking about gas prices, and not just gas prices.

01:23:59.000 You're talking about, in general, just globally, petroleum products.

01:24:02.000 You're talking about, in general, energy costs, not just gas.

01:24:05.000 We do not have to be dependent on a lot of these international relationships for hard goods and services.

01:24:15.000 We can do a lot of this here in the United States if we open it up.

01:24:18.000 Now, it's hard to get, you can get into, okay, textiles and steel and lumber, right?

01:24:21.000 A lot of people don't realize this, 80%, do you know this?

01:24:24.000 80% of a lot of American, or beef, in American grocery stores is not from the United States of America.

01:24:30.000 Brazil?

01:24:31.000 I don't know where it comes, I mean, I just know that it's not from the United States of America, which, I mean, we're in Texas!

01:24:36.000 Have you been to one?

01:24:37.000 It's nothing but cattle!

01:24:38.000 You seen Yellowstone?

01:24:39.000 There's cattle everywhere.

01:24:40.000 How does this happen?

01:24:41.000 Nebraska's got some cows. 0.99

01:24:43.000 I've seen it.

01:24:43.000 Yeah?

01:24:44.000 I've seen it with my own eyes.

01:24:45.000 I've heard about it!

01:24:46.000 Not to mention, why are we buying corn from anywhere?

01:24:50.000 It's on the Welcome to Indiana State sign!

01:24:54.000 Don't stop till well after Des Moines.

01:24:56.000 I've seen it with these eyes.

01:24:57.000 And then it says, Indiana, we're more than corn.

01:25:01.000 That's what it says with a picture of corn.

01:25:04.000 More corn.

01:25:05.000 We need to make sure that we have so much corn here in Indiana, we need to let people know that we're more than corn.

01:25:10.000 What should we do?

01:25:11.000 Show them the corn!

01:25:12.000 Nebraska's like, we're Cornhuskers!

01:25:13.000 We're gonna go overseas.

01:25:15.000 There's no need to be dependent on foreign nations.

01:25:18.000 This is the idea of America First, because guess what?

01:25:20.000 You need to put on your own oxygen mask before you help somebody else.

01:25:23.000 America First is also what's best for not only the American citizens, but what is best for these other countries.

01:25:29.000 It's a failed experiment.

01:25:31.000 The idea of no international borders.

01:25:34.000 The idea of all cultures are alike and we can hold hands and sing We Are The World.

01:25:38.000 Because guess what?

01:25:39.000 It just requires one evil prick, as we now see, and we got two evil pricks right now.

01:25:46.000 We just need one to ruin it for everybody else.

01:25:49.000 And oh my gosh, it's not like there's been a precedent set.

01:25:52.000 For that, all throughout human history.

01:25:55.000 So there are things that we can do and there are things that our representatives can do.

01:25:57.000 And look, what can you do?

01:25:59.000 You can get active.

01:26:00.000 And you know what?

01:26:01.000 Make sure you remember this when you vote.

01:26:03.000 Make sure you file this in your brain, that little chip, whenever you go forward, that mean tweets don't really mean that much.

01:26:13.000 Is that fair?

01:26:14.000 Alright, you guys can comment.

01:26:15.000 We're gonna take your chats, of course, on MugClub and play... Oh, we're playing Razor Robot.

01:26:20.000 Oh, there's no way we can do this on YouTube.

01:26:21.000 So, YouTube, you know what?

01:26:22.000 Go ahead and fact check the vaccine stuff. 0.99

01:26:24.000 We don't give a rat's ass. 0.99
