This week on The Blaze, we have an exclusive story that involves one of the most lascivious, outrageous media cover-ups I can think of in relation to the coronavirus. The virus is not a hoax, the virus is real, and Gerald Morgan is here to explain why.
00:07:03.000All month, we're giving everything away for free in front of the paywall so you know what it is that you missed behind the paywall over there at the Blaze, as well as three more morning shows because we know that you're lonely and many of you live very sad lives.
00:07:29.000An exclusive story that involves, I think, possibly one of the most lascivious, outrageous media cover-ups I can think of in relation to the coronavirus.
00:11:04.000They are selling masks right now, which we use here in the studio if we're in close proximity, like if we have to be doing a sketch or something.
00:11:10.000They said, you don't need masks, but our health care workers need masks.
00:11:13.000And now they're saying, eh, probably a good idea to wear masks.
00:11:26.000I didn't know we had that live camera.
00:11:29.000We don't usually do this in the Morning Story, and I want to hear your thoughts, your questions, because there's going to be a follow-up to this.
00:11:37.000So everyone there, get ready to clip this, because everyone's going to run this like it's hot and act as though it was their idea, because it's a shame that a late-night comedy show, slash for the month of April, morning drive show, is doing the work that the media is not doing.
00:12:23.000The story that we all heard and was covered in most major news outlets, both on television and publications, was that she heard a press briefing from Donald Trump touting the benefits of chloroquine, which is medication that can be prescribed by a doctor.
00:12:37.000Therefore, because she trusted everything Donald Trump said, she and her husband, they both drank it, and he died, unfortunately, a tragedy.
00:13:54.000Something I haven't seen covered anywhere else, though I don't know that nowhere else has covered it.
00:13:57.000She specifically donated to non-profits that were progressive sort of science non-profits.
00:14:03.000Basically, if you read their mission statement, it was the agenda, the mission was to counteract the anti-science agenda, the anti-medicine agenda of the conservative right.
00:14:13.000I thought it was to make Kloypon cleaner.
00:14:34.000This idea is, you're picturing her, the media has presented her as a pro-Trump middle American.
00:14:38.000She just trusted Trump and her and her husband were drinking fish tank cleaner, holding each other like the couple in Titanic.
00:14:43.000The truth is, she wanted to divorce her husband.
00:14:46.000So when she was discussing divorcing her husband in 2001, she attacked him, was arrested, was charged with domestic abuse assault, though eventually she was found not guilty.
00:14:54.000She still talked about wanting to divorce him in 2012 and said, quote, I am furious all the time.
00:15:01.000She reiterated it in a 2013 court case.
00:15:04.000Now, some of this has been tweeted out.
00:15:06.000Some of this information has been tweeted out, but we were able to confirm some of these other sources.
00:15:15.000One of them being a lawsuit that people sort of covered, but they missed the assault case where she filed against a company, I believe it was John Deere Tractor, where she worked for before.
00:15:25.000I don't know exactly why she sued them, but that's where the assault was mentioned.
00:15:29.000Because her real name wasn't used in any of the stories.
00:15:33.000And then the other one is we have some exclusive access to social media, and I had this corroborated with some folks in law enforcement.
00:15:38.000I looked it up, so she filed for chapter... I know when she filed for bankruptcy, some information that's not necessarily relevant, but it did serve to confirm this case.
00:15:47.000We made sure to try and redact all the names.
00:15:50.000I obviously don't want to dox anyone, so please, nobody out there, try and dox or figure anything out, but The media knows this woman's name.
00:16:02.000This lady, who was a President Trump supporter, drank fish tank cleaner because Donald Trump is praising an unverified, unproven, non-antibiotic, what is it?
00:16:18.000He's been basically touting the benefits of this anti-coronavirus drug.
00:16:22.000The story was, poor old lady and husband, who love each other and love Trump, die.
00:16:28.000The media, meaning New York Times, ABC, NBC, by the way, I'm going to be calling every single one of them after this show, so I want you to send in numbers, heads of news, people who you think would be in charge of these stories or who ran these stories, because they knew this woman's name.
00:16:43.000They claimed they were withholding it due to, you know, wanting to keep her anonymous.
00:16:46.000In which case, they knew that she wanted to divorce her husband, they knew that she hated President Donald Trump, and they knew that at least part of this was a sham, and that is journalistic malpractice.
00:16:57.000Or, ABC, NBC, CBS, all of these major news outlets, Washington Post, didn't know her name, in which case you did not verify or vet your anonymous source, which is journalistic malpractice.
00:17:10.000And you did this to try and alter the face of an election, by the way, because that's been the central issue, that Donald Trump hasn't handled this properly, and this was a linchpin for a lot of it.
00:17:17.000He's going out there making, here's Donald Trump, anti-science again, and you found a woman who gave to Hillary Clinton, and gave to conservatives, or anti-science, non-profits, and something else, okay?
00:17:27.000So, all of this we know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, right now, was a sham to try and harm the President, and by proxy, all conservatives.
00:17:40.000I think this bitch is the new Carole Baskin.
00:17:42.000I think that this woman, think about it for a second, she was abusive toward her husband, a long history of it, she wanted to divorce him, she clearly hated Trump, and only her husband died?
00:17:54.000I think he was having his evening Manhattan and didn't realize it was mixed with a little bit of koi food.
00:17:58.000Well, I think what she did is she walked over and said, Hey, honey, I already took my dose.
00:18:25.000He was just saying that that is something that might be beneficial.
00:18:28.000These people could not possibly have come up with a crazier story like, yeah, we both drank fish tank cleaner because it had one ingredient in it, much less everything else in it, that we thought might help us.
00:18:38.000That's why we're digging into it, because it just doesn't make sense for anybody to do this.
00:18:43.000And I think, obviously, it's an absurd story, and it's really sad that her husband died.
00:18:46.000But can you imagine if there was even a whiff of an idea that someone killed his wife in order to indict Barack Obama.
00:18:54.000Let's say a man came out and said, you know, I really supported Barack Obama and I believed that he didn't have a brother who was in Kenya to live in a shanty.
00:19:04.000I didn't believe that until that man showed up and poisoned my wife.
00:19:09.000And now I think you shouldn't go for Barack Obama.
00:19:10.000And then we find out that he poisoned his wife.
00:19:14.000I'm not saying that's the case, but I do think there should actually be some kind of an investigation here for criminal activity.
00:19:21.000I don't know if it's not only fraud, but...
00:19:51.000And find out which version of journalistic malpractice was at play here because it is one or the other and hopefully someone will follow this trail and see what happened to the husband.
00:20:16.000Yes, by the way, you should use... In the chat, we do not have names yet.
00:20:21.000So just put your own username in there.
00:20:23.000Of course, hit the notification bell if you are not subscribed, and hit all notifications so that you will be aware of everything that goes up.
00:20:58.000It affects everybody, and especially because chloroquine could be, we are finding out now that it could be a medical miracle, not a cure, a medical miracle as a therapeutic, as a course of treatment right now to people who are suffering and potentially dying.
00:21:24.000On that note, however, how do we share what sources like you and other members of The Blaze and even Daily Wire?
00:21:29.000Anytime I use clips from any right-wing source, my liberal friends dismiss and say they do not count.
00:21:35.000Well, listen, if they just dismiss it and say it doesn't count, then there's nothing I can do for you.
00:21:38.000However, unlike the Young Turks or ABC-CBS, you just saw the overlays.
00:21:43.000Now, unlike when we do the evening show where we actually can go in and post and we can make sure that we actually provide the link code on the image, you're just going to have to do a little bit of digging yourself, but they're all brought up right here.
00:21:55.000I can tell you right now that some of these come from, oh wait, no, some of these are actually just our exclusive screenshots, but they have been verified.
00:22:02.000I would not come out and give you information.
00:22:04.000I am, well, you can never be 100% confident, 99.9999999% sure that this is the person and that this is the course of action.
00:22:14.000Well, the so-called objective news sources are the ones who are doing all this fake work ahead of time.
00:22:19.000So yeah, it's basically gone to show that we can't trust those guys.
00:23:01.000I'm not sure the legality of that, and I've got to imagine, how many billions of dollars,
00:23:07.000can we bring that up, maybe Reg can find this, what's the budget for CNN, for ABC, NBC, CBS,
00:23:13.000I don't know exactly what the research budget is, but if you look at the total budget of
00:23:16.000the media industry, it's billions, it's billions of dollars.
00:23:19.000Well, in the meantime, we've got another chat that says, the problem with this is a lot of people already don't trust the media, so even if they did cover it up, how are they going to be held accountable?
00:23:28.000All I can do is make some phone calls at this point and see, and then hopefully rally the information back to you, hopefully next morning on Good Morning Mug Club, because I'm not an FBI agent, I'm not the DOJ.
00:23:41.000But I tell you what, this seems like something that would go beyond local law enforcement, and that's the challenge.
00:23:47.000It's not like someone spray-painted your yard.
00:23:51.000I think this probably all ends up just being lost, like you said, kind of disappearing into the ether, unfortunately.
00:23:57.000Because one, we have much bigger things going on right now that people's attention will be focused on, but this is big when it comes to the media doing something that is obviously designed to hurt Trump.
00:24:07.000And like you said, even if they didn't know, they're still wrong for doing it.
00:24:11.000It's like everybody who comes out and says, I did something that the president said to do and it hurt me, or the president lied to me, or the president did this to me, they're running to them with a camera and a microphone and saying, Here's the leading question.
00:25:03.000But it's all got to be called COVID deaths.
00:25:05.000I think when this filters out, we're going to be looking, and I talked to my wife about this last night, 1-2% I think is what the number will actually be because right now you have a 0.4% in Germany mortality rate and you have a 10% in Italy.
00:26:36.000And he basically just shows me how to suck less.
00:26:39.000And then I say, gotta go, I'm gonna poop.
00:26:42.000Alright, so by the way, just to make sure that we have a recap of this week since it's Friday and anything that we've missed or gotten incorrectly, our senior news correspondent, Brody McBrodigan, is going to be here with the Morning Report.
00:26:54.000It's time for Morning After with Brodigan!
00:26:56.000🎵 Alright, Mr. Brodigan, how are you, sir?
00:27:06.000Okay, yeah, so with all the focus on unemployment, I have one story about one guy who did get a new job.
00:29:49.000We do have a story about de Blasio, but before I get to that, here's one thing, too.
00:29:53.000We've talked about this, Audio Wade and Gerald, as people who run businesses.
00:29:58.000We talked about this last time, the untargeted stimulus relief bill.
00:30:02.000And I understand that a lot of businesses, small businesses, are being helped right now with effectively money giveaways and increasing the ability and the availability of loans.
00:30:12.000The ability for banks to loan and the availability of loans.
00:30:14.000Sorry, I don't want to talk about that.
00:31:25.000We do not have numbers on this right now.
00:31:27.000We won't have numbers for probably several months.
00:31:29.000But this is one of those things that you hear a lot.
00:31:30.000People say, oh, you really think that if you give everybody $1,000 a month or if you give everybody $1,200 or $1,700 if they have a wife or a codependent.
00:31:38.000I don't know how it works with wives versus children.
00:31:40.000So wife or codependent depends on the kind of sandwich she makes.
00:31:44.000People say, you think they're going to stop working?
00:31:47.000Yes, there are a lot of people, unfortunately, who want to simply remain comfortable, and they will forego the hard work as long as they make enough.
00:31:55.000Look at what happens on Native American reservations.
00:31:57.000It's not a federal check, but they sue the government over the land, and then of course they get a check in perpetuity.
00:32:01.000A lot of these people, it's destroyed the community.
00:32:04.000And this is actually, this is really bad long-term for the American economy.
00:32:30.000People here are paid significantly more than minimum wage.
00:32:33.000I don't believe in a minimum wage, but I believe in paying my employees more than a minimum wage.
00:32:37.000But for you guys, $1,200 a month would not be nearly enough to replace your income.
00:32:42.000And if anyone wants to leave and not work and take $1,200 a month, we've talked about this open-door policy, but it is a revolving-door policy if someone else is going to come in and work right now in this pandemic.
00:33:02.000Oh, maybe that employee is taking care of it.
00:33:03.000Why is it more important to take care of a business that can ensure continued employment?
00:33:07.000Because when these employees don't come in, guess what?
00:33:10.000Now you can't have the health benefits, the retirement benefits.
00:33:13.000All of a sudden, the working vacations go away and the business that will employ you, once that check stops, it looks like it's going to be 10 weeks, I think, right now.
00:33:24.000Unfortunately, there are a lot of people in this country who are so short-sighted that if you give them money, and this is something people always talk about, oh, the business owners, they're greedy.
00:33:32.000What could possibly be more greedy than taking your money and screwing the person who paid you money for years?
00:33:38.000This is happening across the country right now.
00:33:40.000Yeah, especially with unemployment being the dollar amount going so much higher than it has been in the past.
00:33:46.000It's $48,000 per year to be on unemployment right now.
00:33:50.000Who would have thought that having a robust economy would bite us in the ass?
00:34:00.000So I think what you're saying is that a lot of people think if you just give people money that they'll be better off to be able to buy goods and services.
00:34:06.000But as a business owner, like you said, I've had conversations with other business owners and we're like, the money coming to the business is fantastic.
00:34:12.000The payroll protection plan, that stuff really helps out.
00:34:15.000And this is so different, like you said, the government shut this down.
00:34:44.000So you have some employees and you have some people who are more like day raiders who are paid less here because this is a specialized position.
00:34:49.000Yeah, it's a different People who've applied for golden tickets know that the pay is significantly above the national average here.
00:34:55.000Let's say you have someone who's only making $20,000 a year, $25,000 a year.
00:35:00.000Could you picture a scenario where that person says, I'll take a pay cut of a few thousand, but I can do whatever I want all day long?
00:35:06.000Actually, they're not going to take any pay cut.
00:35:08.000So what you're talking about is a stimulus check, right?
00:35:11.000But that is what I'm talking about as far as with businesses who've been employing people right now.
00:35:15.000And I didn't even think about this until I read Dozens of stories from people sending this in yeah, well,
00:35:20.000and you can I can furlough somebody right now, so take that 20,000
00:35:23.000I don't have one, but if I had somebody making 20,000 not fire them furlough them
00:35:27.000I could furlough that person which means at some point I'll rehire them so they don't actually have to go out and
00:35:31.000look for a job They can just sit on unemployment as long as I keep them
00:35:35.000there making $48,000 a year not $20,000 a year right oh, so that's
00:35:40.000probably what's happening Unemployment is 48, that's by itself.
00:35:43.000These people aren't just leaving and taking a check, they might be furloughed or they're getting double dipping.
00:35:47.000And furlough's better because that says you're eventually going to rehire them, but let me be very clear, it's just unemployment that's 48.
00:35:54.000Can anyone else agree with me that that's a scam?
00:36:22.000Well, I don't think they directly connected him, but there was that awful John Travolta mobster film, and I remember Ann Coulter talking about furloughs a long time ago, and I was watching it.
00:36:29.000There's a famous mobster, you guys can let me know, we can bring this up, I don't know if it was Gotti, who was on furloughs.
00:36:33.000He'd be like, yeah, yeah, you know, you're in prison, you have a, whatever, 20 year sentence, but on weekends, you know, you can go to Chuck E. Cheese.
00:38:18.000Obviously, everyone deserves praise who's helping right now.
00:38:21.000But while we have stories and listicles on BuzzFeed and Vox about the frontline medical workers who've worked a 12-hour shift, and that is tough and they're overburdened, and thank you, for some reason, because we hate the religious affiliation of Franklin Graham, we don't talk about the fact that a 50% death rate, disease, virus, Ebola, 50% death rate in Liberia, that they went out and helped.
00:40:04.000If you want to actually go fact check this and go read the verse, that's great.
00:40:08.000They warn against false prophets, especially anyone who preaches teachings that supersede what is written in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
00:40:15.000In other words, if these teachings say, no, no, no, no, erase what happened there, we're changing the rules, that is considered biblically evil.
00:40:51.000But they actually, Muslims actually, a big part of this is they say that Ishmael, they don't believe that it was Isaac who was one up to be sacrificed.
00:40:59.000Now they believe that the texts were perverted and distorted by scribes.
00:41:05.000In other words, everything after Abraham, you see this with Muhammad, everything after Abraham before Muhammad is not really reliable.
00:41:12.000And by the way, everyone who was a... kinda Jew-y.
00:41:15.000So that's an issue people need to understand.
00:41:21.000And does that not kind of give you an idea as to where maybe some of the anti-Semitism
00:41:26.000which has arisen in the Islamic world for the most part, always,
00:41:30.000Where it comes from, if you believe that the Jews and the Christians lied or twisted, warped everything past the sacrifice, the non-sacrifice of Abraham and the blessing of the first child.
00:41:41.000That's a big deal that is evil because guess what?
00:41:44.000It's accusing Christians and Jews of being evil!
00:41:46.000Right, no, and I think it's a pretty simple equation, right?
00:41:49.000If you have a one true God, and he has set up a kind of a system, right, and he sends his son, and this is God in the flesh, and he dies for you, and this is the way to heaven, and that's what he says, right?
00:41:58.000So the claims that are made in Christianity leave no room for other claims to be made, right, by their selves.
00:42:04.000That is the only thing that can be, either that or God is a liar.
00:43:40.000They deny the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
00:43:42.000Now, whether you believe it or not, that's fine.
00:43:44.000But from a Christian worldview, from a Christian theological worldview, a prophet who comes, who arrives after the book of Revelation, who adds to the text and says, by the way, ignore that because the Son of God, God in the flesh, didn't die.
00:44:01.000Yeah, and I don't think it's a stretch for somebody to say, I'm a Christian and I believe that faiths that try to take you away from God are evil.
00:44:09.000I don't have a problem with Muslim scholars saying, I'm a Muslim and I believe that your worldview is trying to draw people away from the one true prophet, Muhammad, and that you're evil.
00:44:20.000There's a big contrast between Jesus and Muhammad.
00:44:22.000If they say, listen, We follow a serial warlord who married a six-year-old but only copulated when she was nine, was a very powerful man, a man who led a political movement and social upheaval very violently.
00:44:35.000And you follow a carpenter who, you know, never got laid.
00:45:27.000In pandemics, everyone becomes a nationalist.
00:45:31.000Okay, in pandemics, everyone is a nationalist because people don't want to see Americans die.
00:45:35.000It's not that we don't care about people in Korea, Germany, Italy, but we have to take care of our own.
00:45:41.000And I do think it's appropriate, if you need to invoke the Defense Production Act, if a company like 3M says, hey, we're going to make masks, we're going to get them to the American people and say, oh, sorry, our contracts are actually with other countries right now because they came in and they bid higher.
00:45:56.000If the American taxpayer in any way is helping to keep you afloat and you get some kind of a government contract, right now you do not get to go seek a higher profit elsewhere because you made... This isn't about socialism.
00:46:08.000This is about honoring your agreement, 3M, and you said you were gonna build masks to help American workers.
00:46:15.000That's the kind of America First that I'm behind.
00:46:18.000That's the That's the kind of America First that we're talking about.
00:46:20.000That's the kind of nationalism that we're talking about.
00:46:22.000And it has nothing to do with Ed Furlong in a swastika with Elliot Goulding.
00:47:37.000I want to be clear, since you have more melanin in your skin, do you believe that anything I just said regarding nationalism in this pandemic was racial supremacy?
00:48:10.000But now we have this, I call it identity socialism.
00:48:13.000And what I mean by that is socialism is now married to the politics of race and gender and sexual orientation and immigration.
00:48:22.000And so, socialism today would have been unrecognizable to Marx, because it's socialism married to this new identity politics.
00:48:31.000Yeah, and that must be frustrating for you, Mr. D'Souza, because one thing, you know, we hear about the white-black thing a whole lot in the United States, and I don't think I'm letting the cat out of the bag when I say that you're originally from India, your family, your lineage.
00:48:44.000I've met some Indians who are far darker than black people.
00:48:47.000They don't seem to be included in that mix.
00:48:55.000If you look at the Indian Bollywood actresses, they look basically white.
00:49:02.000But on the other hand, you've got Indians who are completely dark.
00:49:05.000Now, I think here it's important to make a distinction between race and skin color because the Indians can be dark-skinned without being Negroid in a racial sense.
00:49:19.000Right, but racists would treat them the same way, is what I'm saying.
00:49:22.000If everyone in this country was a racist, they would look... I mean, if you compare Drake, for example, to... There was a guy, Prakash, who is a server at my favorite local... He's very, very dark.
00:49:37.000If there's a real racist, he would treat him just as poorly, but we don't hear the same... It doesn't seem like Indian Americans have the same kind of political clout and voice.
00:49:46.000And that seems important, especially when we're talking about identity politics with socialism right now.
00:49:50.000Well, the other thing is if you go to India, India has now become, I would say, one of the most pro-American countries in the world.
00:49:57.000So that there's very wide pro-Western and pro-American sentiment.
00:50:03.000Even the old nonsense that I used to hear when I'm growing up, you know, the anti-British colonialism is horrible.
00:50:08.000India would have been a fabulously rich country were it not for colonialism.
00:50:12.000All of this kind of bloviation has subsided.
00:50:15.000You have a small clack of socialists who still say this kind of stuff, but by and large, they're ridiculed by the rest of the... Can I ask you, Dinesh?
00:50:22.000By the way, Audio Wade there just loves Democrats.
00:50:37.000And then I've noticed, though, the two groups of people who are most pro-American, this is anecdotal, you would probably have the data on it, have been Indians and, for some reason, Australians.
00:50:48.000Why do you think that is with Indians?
00:50:50.000Why are they so pro-American Western civilization?
00:50:52.000Because it seems like a lot of, I mean you look at the yogi culture here, the vegan ultra-left culture, they're often espousing what they view as Indian sort of values.
00:51:03.000The leftist in America who is pursuing India and thinks India is cool because of Hare Krishna and because of all this stuff, they're chasing an India that the Indians are now running away from.
00:51:19.000They're pursuing an Indian dream that Indians don't have anymore.
00:51:22.000Indians, by and large, want the American dream.
00:51:25.000When I was growing up, I grew up under socialism.
00:51:29.000It wasn't totalitarian socialism, it was democratic socialism.
00:51:33.000And the three things I remember the most about it are, number one, first of all, we had a seven-year wait to get a phone.
00:51:55.000And see, now when we go into a grocery store and they tell you you can only buy, you know, one roll of toilet paper, That's a little temporary whiff of what it was like growing up in a socialist country.
00:52:08.000They'll tell you, you know, you can only buy so much cooking oil, you can only buy so much rice.
00:52:12.000And the third is just corruption at every level of government.
00:52:16.000I mean, you have to pay people under the table all the time.
00:52:19.000There's corruption here, but not in the same way.
00:52:21.000So I think Indians who, a whole generation of Indians my age, Fled India.
00:52:27.000My brother went to sea, other people went to Dubai, a third group of people went to Canada and Australia, a fourth group came to the United States.
00:52:34.000Wait, did you say that your brother went to sea?
00:52:36.000Yeah, my brother went as a cadet on a merchant marine ship and he basically started out of Singapore and he made his life, he became a captain.
00:52:53.000This call would be... Goodbye, just the... Sorry, Native American, not Indian Native American.
00:52:58.000You know, the whole broadcast would be stopped.
00:53:01.000I think that's... I do want to say, because we don't have a lot of time, and I appreciate Megan the time, Dinesh, but...
00:53:05.000I think it's very important, and you do a very good job of this, delineating between totalitarian socialism and what they call or brand democratic socialism, because it still is socialism.
00:53:14.000And I've experienced this in Quebec, obviously.
00:53:17.000I would assume to a lesser degree than India, but it still is a 52% income tax rate.
00:53:22.000You still are talking about a socialized healthcare system.
00:53:25.000Listen, now they opened it up to privatization in 2005, but when my mom needed an MRI, and they had fewer MRI machines in the whole country than they had, I think, in the state of Vermont back then, if you pay a few hundred dollars under the table, you can get an MRI within a couple months as opposed to 14.
00:53:41.000So I think it's important for people who've experienced that to be out there speaking to their experiences.
00:53:49.000Yeah, I mean, in some ways, at the level of pure principle, democratic socialism differs from totalitarian socialism, kind of like gang rape differs from individual rape.
00:54:10.000And also, by the way, it reminds me, AudioWade, we need to tell that story about the elephant seal rape, because we were talking about that before.
00:54:47.000A majority of the people with one marble all decide to use the same level of force But use the fact that a majority of them have decided to confiscate the other guy.
00:54:57.000In both cases, the other guy is deprived of his property.
00:55:51.000You know, what's strange about it now is, to me, when you go into stores and they're empty... My wife's from Venezuela, so she's been telling me about the empty stores in Venezuela now for years.
00:56:03.000But I never knew what that felt like, but now a little bit with this strange virus situation, we're getting a preview of what normal life is like in socialist countries.
00:56:13.000That being said, in your private life, take advantage during this pandemic, because if she's from Venezuela, that's one less hungry mouth to feed.
00:56:37.000You were telling me about this on your way.
00:56:40.000And keep in mind, these are the ones that look like a Star Wars character with a snuffleupagus thing.
00:56:44.000Yeah, so I was watching this documentary called The Riot and the Dance on Amazon Prime, and I knew that you were into animals, so I figured I'd tell you this story.
00:56:52.000It was just this particular... What does that mean, Wade?
00:58:37.000I don't know that he pays their room and board like a polygamist, so much as when he feels like it and he can find them, he rapes them for hours on end without mercy.
00:58:47.000And no one else is allowed to because that's his raping post.
00:58:53.000And then on the flip side, if we could break down the language barrier, which of course we can.
00:58:57.000I don't think anyone speaks Elephant Seal yet.
00:58:59.000Try to explain to them the Harvey Weinstein scandal.
00:59:04.000They'd be like, wait, hold on a second, yeah, but, but she got the Oscar, right?
00:59:08.000Like, I mean, what's the, what's the problem?
00:59:10.000Even in this case, she voluntarily, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, that sounds like, that's a solid dude.
01:01:52.000It was an asshole at Vox, but I repeat myself.
01:01:55.000And someone on CNN, I believe, we might be able to pull this clip.
01:01:59.000I don't necessarily know that we need it because if you doubt me on this and okay, fine.
01:02:02.000She said, well, we can't do the same things here in the United States because unlike China and unlike places like South Korea, we're a much more free country.
01:02:09.000And someone at Vox said, seems she confused South Korea and North Korea.
01:02:14.000It doesn't only have to be Kim Jong-un, but we have a right, a constitutional right to privacy.
01:02:19.000South Korea used private data on phones to track, monitor, And then release private information to the public in South Korea so that others could avoid them.
01:02:29.000Like Dinesh was talking about socialism, totalitarian socialism versus democratic socialism, rights are still removed in that instance.
01:02:36.000Rights are still removed when your private data or any private information is released publicly for the greater good.
01:02:42.000I think we need to do everything that we can.
01:02:43.000I think this is a legitimate purview of government in the sense that this is a national security issue.
01:04:13.000In October, November, when somebody comes around and says, somebody has COVID-19 somewhere in the world, are we all running for the bedrooms again?
01:04:19.000Are we shutting down countries and economies again?
01:05:09.000Every life lost is precious, of course.
01:05:11.000And I hate, by the way, it's like one of those things where you can never criticize a war or military action without being accused of hating the troops.
01:05:18.000Now, I do think that if we are actually at war, you should probably not denigrate the troops when they come back, or spit on them like with Vietnam.
01:05:25.000But if you say, you know what, I'm not necessarily sure that we can fix the Middle East, that doesn't mean that you hate the troops.
01:05:30.000And I hate it when conservatives sometimes do that.
01:05:31.000I also hate if you say, hey, maybe this isn't the right approach to the coronavirus, that somehow you don't care about the lives lost.
01:07:01.000Because they're trying to cover their own asses because the government shipped out a lot of these medical supplies and didn't replenish them.
01:08:10.000Just tell us, listen, everyone should be wearing masks, but we screwed up so we don't have enough masks and the private industry is going to have to step in and save us.
01:08:17.000So yes, masks help, but please bear with us because we suck.
01:08:56.000I don't want to attribute to a sinister motive what you can simply chuck up to incompetence, but do you really believe that the CDC, that government health agencies, suddenly woke... Do you think their head popped off the pillow?
01:09:16.000We know beyond any shadow of a doubt that masks do help.
01:09:19.000That's why they do them in a lot of these Asian countries.
01:09:20.000And sure, when you get on a Southwest flight and you see someone with that and they're eating hard-boiled eggs, it's weird, it's unsightly, but that's not like a wet market.
01:09:27.000It's just cultural differences that we learn to tolerate.
01:09:30.000But the reason, if they told us, if they didn't tell us that masks work, I can't think of any other motivation than thinking that we can't handle that information.
01:09:47.000Well, no, I don't think they're assuming the American public is stupid.
01:09:53.000I think that they know the American public will be manipulated by the media, in the sense that the media will go out and say, BUY ALL THE TOILET PAPER!
01:10:03.000And that's what would happen with the masks, if the media comes out and says, we don't have enough masks because Donald Trump's CDC shipped them as opposed to Barack Obama.
01:10:11.000And unfortunately, these could be life-saving measures in these dangerous times, and everyone's I need a mask!
01:10:18.000The American public are not stupid, I will say this.
01:10:20.000But, unfortunately, a lot of the American public, and particularly some older portions of the American public, have believed in this idea of objective journalism.
01:10:30.000And so I think right now they have to think, the CDC, FDA, Donald Trump, they have to think two, three moves ahead because there's a difference between what they want to say versus what the media will say.
01:10:38.000And by the way, I want this to be a campaign, you don't air the press briefing, you don't get a press badge.
01:10:45.000Donald Trump could come out and say, hey, listen, we are building more masks, okay?
01:10:49.000We need more masks, but right now, give priority to health care workers.
01:10:53.000And then the media, because they refuse to run the briefing, then they write commentary saying Donald Trump says he lied about masks because they want to hurt his approval rating.
01:10:59.000When Donald Trump speaks directly to the American people right now, his approval rating goes up.
01:12:00.000There's a two-fold benefit with masks, and I think that it's something we could do in this country, by the way, that would allow us to, again, protect the most vulnerable, quarantine old people, teach them how to play Xbox for all we care, give them their checks, allow businesses to open up, identify non-essential businesses, do the exact reverse of what we're doing, encourage the washing hands, proper hygiene, and Encourage people to wear masks and use them properly.
01:12:24.000And the beauty is, now you can sanitize masks as well.
01:13:04.000People who are carriers, maybe even people, maybe even people who are asymptomatic, which by the way, it seems like that should be silver lining, right?
01:14:09.000It would be at least as probably comparable to washing hands.
01:14:13.000And like you said, don't use them improperly.
01:14:15.000In other words, don't cough in your mask and give it to someone else.
01:14:18.000Don't think that you can just put your mask on and off and on and off and it'll actually keep the bacteria out from you.
01:14:22.000Now, if you're a carrier, don't touch your eyes.
01:14:25.000Yeah, you cough into it and people get particles on it, and then you take it off like this, and they're like, well, you just got it on your hands, and then you touched your eye.
01:15:20.000It creates that kind of panic, and so if you have a CDC or you have the federal government come out and just say, look guys, like you said, we need to get these to first responders.
01:15:28.000When we get that done, you will get the masks, we'll get whatever we need to you.
01:15:31.000That's much better than panicking people and saying, oh my god, did you see all the toilet paper's gone, or all the masks are gone.
01:15:59.000And that's why you see insider trading happening with people in Congress or, you know, Republicans, Republicans or Democrats, or you see it in media.
01:16:19.000I was conflicted about telling you guys about Everclear because I was like, let me go buy some Everclear right away.
01:16:26.000Uh, but I told you that day and then it was available and only a week later did Everclear start getting purchased off the shelves because Everclear can be a sanitizer, it's 90% alcohol, it can be used as a hand sanitizer, it can be used as a cleaner, it's also something you can drink if you need to, and right now it's significantly cheaper than hand sanitizer.
01:16:42.000Now, I have a couple of bottles of Everclear, so I'm fine, but I wanted to make sure that you guys know about this.
01:16:47.000The one area where I will say That I don't tell you is my favorite cigar.
01:16:52.000People always ask, and I don't say it because it is available in very limited quantities, it's a seasonal release, and I haven't been able to get a hold of a manufacturer.
01:17:16.000If I were to go to confessional, that's what I would confess.
01:17:19.000I've never told you my favorite cigar.
01:17:21.000I've told you about all the cigars I like, but the one I really love comes from like one portion of this field, and it's so good, and it tastes like I had never had as a Canadian.
01:20:12.000We can try and exert pressure to make sure that all All international committees and treaties that have anyone sign onto it recognizes Taiwan.
01:20:19.000We can make sure that there's some forgiveness of debt, at least to the amount of economic damage that you've done to the global economy.
01:20:25.000And as far as the tariffs, listen, I'm not a protectionist.
01:20:28.000I just believe that they should start playing fairly.
01:20:31.000So in other words, it should be an equal give-and-take with goods.
01:20:35.000If they take the tariffs off of ours, if they start importing fairly, we should do the same.
01:21:06.000If you roll switch, people be switch with you.
01:21:10.000If you roll spicy, people not gonna be switch.
01:21:13.000So he was saying you match the intensity.
01:21:15.000We do that with China, but certainly Taiwan should be recognized.
01:21:18.000If Brad Pitt can get praise for seven years in Tibet, I think that we should certainly go out and start hammering international commie pricks for not recognizing a nation that wants to separate from it.
01:21:30.000Isn't it funny that the punishment that China gets is basically that they just have to start playing fair?
01:24:31.000You're trying it for a month for free.
01:24:32.000And if you want this content to keep going, things like after the quarantine, change my mind, things like Crowder Confronts, more super videos, which, by the way, we can't do right now, of course.
01:24:41.000Yeah, that's one thing we're going to do whenever... That's one thing we'll do!
01:24:43.000We'll be able to get back to that, yeah, for sure.
01:24:45.000There are actually quite a few new confronts, if you can believe it.
01:25:10.000In closing, personal story, and I talk about this.
01:25:13.000It's not necessarily in line with the crowd of closes that I do on the typical Thursday show, but there's kind of a rite of passage for men.
01:25:20.000I had a comic friend who said this, that every man has the rite of passage.
01:26:06.000My routine is I drive, nowhere in particular, I drive around in my car and I have Black Rifle coffee, and usually I have some kind of a seltzer water as a palate cleanser because I really like savoring the coffee, and then sometimes I'll have a cigar.
01:26:40.000Um, it was like, it was like, ah, okay, this is a problem, right?
01:26:44.000So let me just turn around, and I'm going back.
01:26:46.000So the loop is not the same street, because I turn around in a different portion.
01:26:49.000I like seeing the sunrise, because I'm up pretty early.
01:26:50.000And as I loop back around to come home, I feel like, okay, I'm definitely not going to a public restroom, because of coronavirus right now.
01:26:56.000And I figure that I can climb up there.
01:26:57.000If we can't touch our eyes, If we cannot touch our eyes, if there's any irritation there, I figure it's somewhat porous, and I don't want to roll the dice at the 7-Eleven.
01:27:07.000You don't want to be the guy that got coronavirus through his ass.
01:27:17.000What if there is a guy where that happened, and he's a guy who everyone suspects is gay, but he's been telling his wife no, and then the doctor's like, I mean, you got your coronavirus through your ass.
01:27:48.000And I imagine that a demonic figure was put in the Hyundai four cars in front of me.
01:27:54.000Because what should have been, at this point, seven minutes turned into 15.
01:28:00.000And I'm sitting there, and I know some people are going to think this is sacrilegious, but I swear to you, I was sitting there and I was just praying.
01:28:05.000I'm like, please, Lord, don't let me crap my pants.
01:28:07.000Please, God, don't let me crap my pants.
01:28:59.000And I sat there for another five minutes, Mrs. Hyundai, and I made it home.
01:29:05.000And then I still ran to the bathroom because I figured I maybe only, you know, released a certain amount to make it bearable until I got home.
01:29:12.000But I shit you not, I got home, I went to the bathroom to check the damage because I wanted to make sure that I threw anything out, you know, pull an Al Roker, and I check my sweatpants.
01:29:23.000And it was like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
