00:00:00.000 Hi, I apologize.
00:00:13.000 I still have gum in my mouth, but this is what we call a cold open where I talk to you before you actually get to see the introduction.
00:00:19.000 This intro you're about to see, Kung Flu Fighting, was actually banned from YouTube.
00:00:23.000 As a matter of fact, if you search Kung Flu Fighting on YouTube right now, you won't be able to find this video because it was removed and we were suspended for two weeks because of the implication that maybe COVID came from a lab.
00:00:35.000 But the good news is there's a new COVID report from the official subcommittee and we're allowed to say it now.
00:00:39.000 So enjoy this one from the vault.
00:00:41.000 Oh, no!
00:00:50.000 Oh no!
00:00:54.000 Comes from China.
00:00:56.000 Oh no!

00:01:33.000 When diseases get their start Swans get to the start Tried to call it just a slip But I blamed the flatbed stream Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting That shit spread fast As lightning In fact it was a little bit Frightening As the numbers Kept on climbing 0.99
00:01:59.000 There was clear To NYU and NYU Trying to get the whistle He said Here comes a virus And now he's gone They forced to call him Dinging To contain COVID-19 And it was probably too late To stop this spread of Chinese food Everybody was cold Fighting That shit spread fast As lightning 0.99
00:02:28.000 In fact My temperature Rising And I think my chest Is tightening Oh no Say the term again Tongue clear It comes from China 0.98

00:03:24.000 We'll be right back.
00:03:53.000 Mmm.
00:04:01.000 Glad to be with you.
00:04:02.000 And I mean it.
00:04:04.000 I mean it.
00:04:05.000 You'll understand why in just a second.
00:04:06.000 But there's a lot to get to today.
00:04:09.000 Trump's new foreign policy.
00:04:11.000 What do Hamas, Canada, and Japan have in common?
00:04:15.000 They're about to get the flesh hammer.
00:04:18.000 And if you want to know...
00:04:24.000 If you want to know what Donald Trump is doing right now, read The Art of the Deal.
00:04:29.000 It's not a surprise to anyone who knows who this man is.
00:04:33.000 We'll talk about what we're dealing with as far as trade and unfair practices.
00:04:37.000 You know, before I get to anything else, let me ask you a question of the day.
00:04:39.000 Is anyone else out there, right now, if you're watching, were you a libertarian and maybe changed a little bit?
00:04:44.000 Sometimes people will ask me, like, hey, have you actually changed your mind on anything?
00:04:48.000 Yep, absolutely.
00:04:49.000 Absolutely.
00:04:50.000 Free trade.
00:04:51.000 There you go.
00:04:52.000 You used to be a libertarian, and then when I realized it was not free trade, and these were not equitable deals, and I realized who the primary benefactors were, I actually do believe in some kind of economic protectionism, and tariffs, when appropriate.
00:05:04.000 My mind has changed on that.
00:05:05.000 I hope I've been very clear.
00:05:06.000 Any libertarians out there?
00:05:08.000 And I know you want to get your black tar heroin, but that's not what we're talking about today.
00:05:12.000 Also, the reason we were able to run that intro is because the COVID subcommittee now came out with its official report, and we're going to go through three main truths.
00:05:21.000 People are talking about it out there, but not a lot of people providing substantiation as far as fact-checking it.
00:05:27.000 We now know a lot of the stuff that we were sold, and you were banned on social media for believing, you know, lab leak, gain of function, all that stuff, social distancing.
00:05:34.000 Turns out you were right.
00:05:36.000 Turns out you were right, and your institutions were wrong.
00:05:39.000 I can say that now.
00:05:40.000 It's not the most free and fair election that we've ever had, 2020. And, yeah, a lot of COVID, a lot of it was a myth, which means that at some point today, you still may see, if you're watching on YouTube, this...
00:05:54.000 Head on over to Rumble.
00:05:55.000 It's a live show.

00:06:04.000 I told you it's a good day.
00:06:07.000 Come on.
00:06:08.000 In his spot today, when you hear this, you like him, he likes it.
00:06:14.000 Bricktown Comedy Club, December 21st, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
00:06:17.000 Mr. Josh Feierstein, how are you?
00:06:18.000 I'm good, I'm good.

00:06:22.000 Take it!
00:06:27.000 My new tagline.
00:06:29.000 Sometimes, you know, the spirit moves me.
00:06:31.000 And then when you hear this, so, in his spot, I come from his pee-pee. 0.56
00:06:37.000 Oh, my goodness.
00:06:39.000 As Pops Crowder.
00:06:41.000 Pops Crowder, thanks for pinch-hitting.
00:06:42.000 How are you?
00:06:43.000 I'm doing my best here.
00:06:44.000 I think I caught a little bit of what Gerald has from the microphone or something.
00:06:47.000 Really?
00:06:47.000 If I start to laugh, I may cough.
00:06:49.000 Oh, no, you're going to sound like Ethel Merman?
00:06:51.000 That's right. 0.59
00:06:54.000 Everyone's sick.
00:06:55.000 Everyone's been getting sick.
00:06:56.000 I had an election night.
00:06:57.000 Some of you know I was hooked up to an IV like twice before that because I had a stomach flu from hell and I will do anything to avoid getting sick again.
00:07:05.000 But, you know, That's how it works.
00:07:06.000 I understand my theme song.
00:07:08.000 I'm a little into the rap since I've spoken with Suge Knight from prison.
00:07:11.000 That's true.
00:07:12.000 You were in prison?
00:07:12.000 No, he was in prison.
00:07:14.000 He's in prison.
00:07:15.000 And Bob Crowder spoke to him.
00:07:17.000 That's got to be a bizarre experience.
00:07:19.000 It was.
00:07:19.000 His wife made it happen, so it was the three-way call.
00:07:22.000 And every few minutes it said, this call is being recorded and your number is being captured.
00:07:26.000 And it's coming over the top of People Speak.
00:07:28.000 So you can still hear somebody in the background.
00:07:30.000 With that overlay, repeated recording.
00:07:33.000 Wow, I never imagined in my wildest dreams that Pops Crowder would be trying to get Suge Knight booked on the show discussing this from prison.
00:07:39.000 That's right.
00:07:40.000 After he killed another guy.
00:07:43.000 I hope that number goes around the prison, by the way.
00:07:45.000 I told Stephen, I said, hey, we maybe had to get him on.
00:07:47.000 Stephen goes, dad, I hope you know.
00:07:49.000 He killed a guy.
00:07:50.000 Yes.
00:07:50.000 Yes, he did.
00:07:51.000 Don't get too excited.
00:07:52.000 Or that guy had it coming, though.
00:07:54.000 He never even put his car in park when he left the prison.
00:07:57.000 Yep, this is happening.
00:07:59.000 I head back.
00:08:00.000 That was just a piss stop.
00:08:01.000 He had to handle business.
00:08:02.000 Yes, he did.
00:08:03.000 Part of you has to respect it because you know where you stand.
00:08:05.000 Something I don't respect.
00:08:06.000 First story here today.
00:08:11.000 To celebrate bringing in the new year, an OnlyFans model, Lily Phillips, and just so you know, just addressing and discussing does not mean condoning before people get upset.
00:08:22.000 But you know what?
00:08:23.000 I think you need to point out that an ideology is wrong, and I think we should bring shame back, because that's the only effective tool we have if we're going to try and right this ship.
00:08:30.000 So an OnlyFans model, Lily Phillips, will attempt to break a world record, and I know what you're thinking, like spinning plates? 0.99
00:08:36.000 No.
00:08:39.000 That's what I thought.
00:08:41.000 She'll be sleeping with a thousand men in 24 hours and dad is proud.
00:08:46.000 If you want to be a part of breaking a world record, I have now pinned a poster on my Twitter on how to apply to be one of the 1,000 guys to be with me in 24 hours.
00:09:01.000 Let's just rattle through the comedy before we get to commentary, because I think we're all about to blow.
00:09:06.000 Never did I think I'd be discussing this with my father on my program.
00:09:10.000 So she put on an open application asking people to send in their submissions, and sponsoring the event and getting into the exclusive rights to in-game interviews with the human railroad herself is none other than the pioneer of dead mediums, the gold standard of radio, Howard Stern.
00:09:27.000 This January, Old Stern is back with OnlyFans model Lily Phillips as she bangs 1,000 guys. 0.97
00:09:34.000 I masturbated three times. 0.96
00:09:37.000 Send your applications to SternShow at HowardStern.com for your chance to be one in a thousand suitors. 0.98
00:09:43.000 Suitor number 999 will win backstage passes to see Aerosmith's last century and syphilis.
00:09:50.000 For the exclusive audio-only coverage, tune in to the bad boy of radio, Howard Stern, on Stern 100. Only on Sirius XM. You know, he really was a bad boy before the internet.
00:10:02.000 Yeah!
00:10:05.000 I was looking up clips for that.
00:10:07.000 I stumbled upon a bunch of porn sites.
00:10:09.000 I can imagine.
00:10:12.000 He's edgy, except for the fact that now women do it voluntarily on their only fence. 0.87
00:10:16.000 He's like a car salesman.
00:10:17.000 They just cut him out as a middleman. 1.00
00:10:19.000 You don't need an old creepy guy going, yeah, nice tits. 1.00
00:10:22.000 Yeah, exactly. 1.00
00:10:24.000 Yeah, tell everyone that you're taking off your clothes.
00:10:26.000 This is great radio.
00:10:28.000 And as it stands now, by the way, a couple of our employees threw their hats in the ring and just received a response.
00:10:34.000 Oh, that is gross, Samuel.
00:10:40.000 Nice pick. 0.62
00:10:41.000 And this one, as well, was...
00:10:43.000 Any hole will do.
00:10:44.000 Come on now.
00:10:46.000 He's not here to defend himself.
00:10:48.000 Come on now.
00:10:49.000 Well, you know what?
00:10:49.000 He picked the wrong day to fake being sick.
00:10:52.000 And this is where we are at this point in the culture.
00:10:55.000 This lady, Abby Phillips, she's going to be sleeping with a thousand... 1.00
00:10:57.000 Lily Phillips, which, by the way, afterwards... 0.95
00:10:59.000 Oh, that's right.
00:10:59.000 Sorry, not Abby Phillips.
00:11:02.000 I'm sure that's someone else.
00:11:04.000 Lily Phillips.
00:11:05.000 It sounds like a BS name.
00:11:06.000 Going to sleep with a thousand men right now. 0.84
00:11:08.000 That's a lot of nuts!
00:11:09.000 And here's the thing, too...
00:11:12.000 He just had that in his pocket.
00:11:13.000 Oh, he's been sitting on that.
00:11:15.000 That was incredibly appropriate.
00:11:17.000 That was perfect.
00:11:18.000 I know men here, and I know your wives, and everyone here has an attractive lady in their life. 1.00
00:11:24.000 And I get it.
00:11:25.000 You'll say that Miss Phillips is a pretty woman. 1.00
00:11:28.000 But there are other pretty women out there, and isn't it nice to be able to find a pretty woman who doesn't sleep with a thousand men, you know, who has self-respect? 1.00
00:11:36.000 I don't know that Ms. Phillips and people of her ilk understand that's what you're competing against.
00:11:43.000 You're not competing against if women could do it, if they were as hot as me, then they would do it, get their money, money. 1.00
00:11:48.000 No, no, no, no.
00:11:48.000 There are plenty of women out there who don't, they're just after different things, which I... Do you feel that?
00:11:54.000 I sense a five-year into the future time travel coming on.
00:11:59.000 Braking.
00:12:12.000 Braking.
00:12:13.000 Lily Phillips confused as to why she can't find a decent husband Who made this? 0.84
00:12:29.000 Who made this jacket?
00:12:33.000 Who made this jacket?
00:12:36.000 In the future, you're much heavier.
00:12:38.000 Yes, I am. 1.00
00:12:38.000 It's a gay straitjacket. 1.00
00:12:41.000 I love it. 0.98
00:12:42.000 Can you imagine being one?
00:12:44.000 I hope she doesn't make the goal.
00:12:45.000 I hope she falls short.
00:12:47.000 Yes!
00:12:47.000 She gets like 902 or something.
00:12:50.000 What was that quarterback who used to do the Guinness Book of World Records show?
00:12:53.000 Just comes out, just a buzzer.
00:12:54.000 Oh, no.
00:12:56.000 No.
00:12:57.000 Remember who I'm talking about?
00:12:58.000 Yeah.
00:12:58.000 Tall white guy?
00:12:59.000 It was a regular TV show.
00:13:01.000 It was a regular TV show. 0.99
00:13:02.000 Like some guy, you know, put a tarantula in his butt or something. 0.99
00:13:06.000 To be fair, she said sleep with. 0.99
00:13:08.000 The joke may be on us.
00:13:09.000 Maybe like a Madame Tussauds wax figure where you hit quick, next, next, next.
00:13:15.000 Power next.
00:13:15.000 She could take an epidural or something.
00:13:18.000 Oh my goodness.
00:13:19.000 At some point it's going to start hurting, right?
00:13:21.000 A thousand people?
00:13:23.000 That's going to start.
00:13:23.000 They're 24 hours.
00:13:24.000 It's going to hurt.
00:13:25.000 At a certain point it's just push-ups.
00:13:28.000 Textbook definition of a super spreader.
00:13:30.000 It's like 40-something guys an hour.
00:13:32.000 Yeah.
00:13:33.000 And the guys have no self-respect either.
00:13:35.000 No, of course they don't. 0.98
00:13:36.000 That's disgusting.
00:13:37.000 Only the guy number one has any... 0.80
00:13:39.000 Kind of.
00:13:40.000 And look, women out there, if you're watching this, and I get it, being a Christian, being a conservative, you don't want to have to address this, but here's the thing that's going to warp this woman's mind.
00:13:49.000 This is an extreme example.
00:13:50.000 Guarantee of those thousand guys, there are probably a few guys who are tens.
00:13:53.000 Really good looking, have a fast car, have a lot of money, have their stuff together.
00:13:58.000 And this girl, Phillips, is going to think that that's actually her caliber of man.
00:14:02.000 But then when she realizes, wait a second, I don't know, if that guy's a ten, the tens aren't going to marry you. 0.94
00:14:07.000 The threshold is far lower to sleep with you.
00:14:09.000 Even if you're middling attractive, you can get a very attractive, very successful man to sleep with you if you catch him at the right time.
00:14:16.000 It's a very different standard.
00:14:17.000 This person will have to marry you. 0.99
00:14:18.000 These people will sleep with you. 1.00
00:14:19.000 They will not marry you. 0.98
00:14:20.000 The people who will be willing to marry you in five or ten years' time after your window closes, sorry, it's a biological reality, are not going to be the men to whom you've become accustomed.
00:14:30.000 They were just sleeping with you. 0.99
00:14:31.000 And so it warps women's perspective, and they feel entitled to someone who was never serious with them in the first place. 0.99
00:14:39.000 And you have a lot of good men out there who can't compete with a ghost.
00:14:42.000 Hope you enjoy it.
00:14:44.000 Lily Phillips, you made your crusty bed. 1.00
00:14:47.000 Oh my goodness. 1.00
00:14:48.000 Gotcha, bitch! 1.00
00:14:49.000 The video's gonna be called Uncrustables. 1.00
00:14:50.000 Yes.
00:14:55.000 KY Jelly invited.
00:14:57.000 A little bit of Dunkaroo at you. 0.98
00:15:00.000 He just texted me, by the way. 1.00
00:15:01.000 He said, I'm listening, jerks. 0.99
00:15:04.000 Yeah, he can't say anything. 0.99
00:15:06.000 And I've been fired.
00:15:07.000 And you know, this record could never go the other way.
00:15:09.000 A guy could say, okay, five in 24 hours. 0.93
00:15:11.000 I mean, it's just ridiculous. 0.91
00:15:12.000 Yes, of course. 0.95
00:15:13.000 It's unfair, I say.
00:15:14.000 This is not her first go, by the way.
00:15:16.000 I believe.
00:15:16.000 Yeah, she failed.
00:15:17.000 Oh, no.
00:15:18.000 She wants to go again.
00:15:20.000 Yeah, well, I can appreciate the resilience, you know?
00:15:22.000 Look, I get it.
00:15:23.000 If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. 1.00
00:15:25.000 But the fact remains, you failed at being a whore. 1.00
00:15:28.000 Okay. 1.00
00:15:29.000 A thousand guys.
00:15:30.000 That's going to be the longest episode of Maury ever.
00:15:34.000 You're not the father!
00:15:35.000 900 people later, you are the father.
00:15:38.000 I forgot that show.
00:15:39.000 That was all it was.
00:15:41.000 Attorney test.
00:15:42.000 Okay.
00:15:43.000 All right.
00:15:43.000 By the way, we, of course, still have our Mug Club undercover unit right now working on some good stories.
00:15:49.000 But if you see any fraud, abuse, waste, corruption, send us a tip.

00:15:54.000 We will protect our sources with our life.
00:15:58.000 It's time to move on here to Donald Trump.
00:16:01.000 Look.
00:16:02.000 We're gonna go through Hamas, Canada, and Japan. 1.00
00:16:05.000 Okay?
00:16:06.000 He put out some truth social posts, some social media posts addressing all these nations.
00:16:10.000 What is going on is art of the deal.
00:16:12.000 If you actually think that all of these threats are going to come to fruition, I think you maybe don't understand what it is that Donald Trump is doing.
00:16:19.000 But I do like that he's taking this kind of posture.
00:16:22.000 Have you read the post on Hamas?
00:16:26.000 Have you seen this?
00:16:27.000 Have you guys seen it?
00:16:28.000 It's probably one of the best ever.
00:16:31.000 Ever.
00:16:31.000 It's a lot of fun.
00:16:32.000 And really, all of them are going to be responding with, oh, he's crazy enough to do it.
00:16:37.000 There's a value in that.
00:16:38.000 Crazy beats big every time.
00:16:41.000 So, Monday.
00:16:42.000 This was the first night of politics.
00:16:44.000 Yes, exactly.
00:16:46.000 Dangle him from the balcony.
00:16:49.000 Ripping off his stuff from Bowie and Queen.
00:16:53.000 You know, that said, I do think he's a count-to-three kind of guy.
00:16:56.000 Yes.
00:16:56.000 I mean, yeah, it's posturing, yeah, it's a threat, but he'll act on one or two just to keep him honest.
00:17:02.000 I don't even think he'll count to three.
00:17:03.000 He'll do what you did when I was a kid.
00:17:04.000 He'll just go, Jill!
00:17:07.000 Just skip one?
00:17:08.000 Yeah, we would skip.
00:17:09.000 If it was necessary, we'd go to two and three quarters.
00:17:13.000 No, no, he never gave me one, Pops Crowder.
00:17:16.000 You guys do it in French?
00:17:18.000 Yes, sir.
00:17:20.000 Well, one was him telling you what to do.
00:17:23.000 Exactly.
00:17:23.000 One was he would say, hey, thanks, Tim.
00:17:26.000 That's a dad right there.
00:17:27.000 Go clean the dishes.
00:17:28.000 I don't want to.
00:17:29.000 Two.
00:17:29.000 Okay, what happened to one?
00:17:32.000 It's just abject terror.
00:17:35.000 But it worked.
00:17:36.000 Now.
00:17:37.000 It does work.
00:17:38.000 Monday.
00:17:39.000 Monday.
00:17:41.000 This is the post on Hamas.
00:17:42.000 We'll go through them, I guess, in sequence of Hamas, Canada, Japan. 0.98
00:17:46.000 This was his post.
00:17:47.000 He said...
00:17:49.000 Everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire world in the Middle East, but it's all talk, no action.
00:18:02.000 Please let this truth, trademark, serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20th, 2025...
00:18:12.000 The date that I proudly assume office as President of the United States, there will be all hell to pay in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against humanity, those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied history of the United States of America. 0.96
00:18:32.000 Release the hostages now!
00:18:36.000 And I bet you Hamas is doing the math, going like, hold on, okay, there's Nagasaki, there's... 1.00
00:18:41.000 Oh, shit! 1.00
00:18:42.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:18:44.000 Japan's like, you better take it up seriously. 1.00
00:18:45.000 Yes.
00:18:46.000 Oh, he will make a part of the Federation.
00:18:49.000 He will do a blockade.
00:18:51.000 When did I become a raise at the Muppet?
00:18:53.000 Now.
00:18:55.000 Wherever you line up, think about this, though.
00:18:57.000 It is good for someone to have at least a very clear mandate.
00:19:02.000 The Democrat Party, a big part of the reason they lost this last election is because they would—remember Kamala Harris ran two ads, two sets of ads, one catering to Jews and one catering to anti-Semites. 0.91
00:19:13.000 I believe it was in Minnesota.
00:19:15.000 It might have been Pennsylvania.
00:19:16.000 One was for Jews. 0.73
00:19:17.000 One was for the pro-Hamas people.
00:19:19.000 They couldn't be united in just, hey— We've got to focus on getting the hostages released.
00:19:25.000 Also, I don't really know what the threat, honestly, is pretty vague because there are not that many targets left to hit.
00:19:32.000 Have you seen what it looks like right now?
00:19:35.000 In Gaza, it's going to look like Superman's dad's bachelor pad at a certain point. 0.97
00:19:43.000 So, this is what he's saying to Hamas.
00:19:45.000 That's very, very clear.
00:19:46.000 You may not like it.
00:19:47.000 It's a lot clearer than the foreign policy that we have.
00:19:48.000 There's something to be said for clarity.
00:19:50.000 Then, Donald Trump laid the flesh hammer down on Justin Trudeau during their meeting yesterday at Mar-a-Lago.
00:20:00.000 They...
00:20:04.000 Oh, sorry, right clip.
00:20:06.000 But here's the other clip with Mr. Doocy describing the meeting where Donald Trump referred to Canada as potentially the 51st state of America.
00:20:14.000 And tonight we're getting some new details about that Trump-Trudeau dinner from two people who were at the table.
00:20:18.000 We are told that when Trudeau told President-elect Trump that new tariffs would kill the Canadian economy, Trump joked to him that if Canada can't survive without ripping off the U.S. to the tune of $100 billion a year, then maybe Canada should become the 51st state and then maybe Canada should become the 51st state and Trudeau could become its governor.
00:20:39.000 Now, I haven't said that for years.
00:20:41.000 That Trudeau's been bad.
00:20:44.000 I'm the hipster of 51st state, Canada. 1.00
00:20:47.000 It's a useless place. 0.93
00:20:48.000 But let me be clear about something here.
00:20:50.000 The theme that you're going to see is unfair trade practices, right?
00:20:54.000 The United States has been, the only reason we've been taken advantage of is because we allow it to happen.
00:21:00.000 We fund the world's security, we fund the world's innovation, and then get screwed in a very one-sided way on the deals that we supposedly made.
00:21:09.000 That's what this posturing is about.
00:21:12.000 Comment below if you understand that.
00:21:14.000 I'm going to get into Canada in a little bit and some of the tricks that they pull.
00:21:18.000 It's not fair.
00:21:19.000 It's not right.
00:21:20.000 And the United States should use its leverage.
00:21:23.000 By the way, the detailed report...
00:21:24.000 The meeting is even better.
00:21:26.000 This is from Fox News.
00:21:27.000 It said that Trump continued telling Trudeau that Prime Minister is a better title, though he could still be governor of the 51st state.
00:21:32.000 Sources told Fox News someone at the table chimed in and advised Trump that Canada would be a very liberal state, which received even more laughter.
00:21:40.000 Trump suggested that Canada could possibly become two states, a conservative and a liberal one.
00:21:45.000 The reason I find that funny is because he didn't just throw it out as a joke and move on, like he stuck on the point.
00:21:52.000 No, and somebody chimed in, which is great.
00:21:54.000 I want to know who chimed in there to set the table for him.
00:21:57.000 Exactly.
00:21:58.000 Someone was like, ah, Canada would be very liberal.
00:22:00.000 Well, that's true.
00:22:00.000 I don't like that.
00:22:01.000 Maybe you could be 51st, 52, right?
00:22:05.000 If you have a liberal or conservative, well, either way, I own you.
00:22:11.000 So the reference that he's making $100 billion, and again, all references available, link in the description every single show. 0.98
00:22:16.000 This is where people say, Trump's a liar. 0.95
00:22:17.000 He exaggerates. 0.94
00:22:19.000 And sometimes you exaggerate when you're coming in, out of the deal, coming really hot, and then be willing to walk away from the table.
00:22:25.000 It's part of the blueprint.
00:22:26.000 He wrote a book to teach you how to negotiate.
00:22:29.000 Right.
00:22:29.000 Hundred billion dollars here.
00:22:30.000 This comes from census is we're actually talking about the U.S. Canada trade imbalance.
00:22:35.000 So under Donald Trump, the imbalance was about 18 billion under Biden.
00:22:38.000 It was 58 billion.
00:22:41.000 Just to be clear.
00:22:42.000 So you saw a change, right, take place.
00:22:45.000 And Donald Trump wants to reverse that.
00:22:46.000 That's not the entire problem, though.
00:22:49.000 It's not really the problem.
00:22:50.000 The unfair trade practices are.
00:22:52.000 So let me give you a couple of examples here.
00:22:53.000 And I say this having been raised in Canada, having dual citizenship.
00:22:57.000 And I don't want to get too wonky, but you may not understand this.
00:23:00.000 Canadian lumber, okay?
00:23:02.000 Now, if we were to just look at the trade agreements, or if we were to look at free trade, hey, great.
00:23:06.000 If they have a better lumber industry in Canada, and it's cheaper for Americans, that's good.
00:23:12.000 That's good for you, if it's an equal playing field.
00:23:15.000 The problem is, and I want you to have this as a subtext, None of this takes place if the United States does not fund Canada's security, and really the entire world.
00:23:24.000 We'll get to NATO and how useless it is in a second.
00:23:26.000 So in Canada, their lumber industry, entirely subsidized.
00:23:30.000 Almost entirely subsidized.
00:23:32.000 And then they dump their product in the United States.
00:23:34.000 So what does that mean?
00:23:35.000 That means that in Canada, they can just lower the price, lower the price, lower the price, artificially, And we saw this too, by the way, this is what happens with single payer, right?
00:23:42.000 You have a government option.
00:23:43.000 Well, the government option is not beholden to a profit.
00:23:46.000 The government option doesn't have to be a viable service as it relates to healthcare.
00:23:50.000 So they just go, oh wait, what's the average market price?
00:23:53.000 $500 a month?
00:23:54.000 We'll give it to you for $200.
00:23:56.000 And so none of these other companies can compete.
00:23:58.000 And that's what happens in the lumber industry. 0.92
00:24:00.000 So Canadian loggers, right, they pay below market rates to basically harvest this stuff off government land.
00:24:05.000 They call it stumpage fees.
00:24:06.000 And so what happens, they dump that in the States.
00:24:09.000 American lumber cannot compete, but it's not happening on an honest playing field.
00:24:13.000 And you know this is true because the Biden administration increased tariffs on Canada, their lumber, by 80%.
00:24:19.000 They did that in 2022. Then they dropped them on the way out in 2024. Went back.
00:24:26.000 Raised them, dropped them.
00:24:28.000 Raised them, dropped them.
00:24:29.000 Big reason for that is probably trying to make housing a little bit more affordable.
00:24:32.000 Something else, too, you see this with Canadian drugs.
00:24:34.000 A lot of Americans will get drugs from Canada because it's a lot cheaper.
00:24:36.000 I understand that.
00:24:37.000 I think that drugs should be cheaper.
00:24:39.000 Donald Trump made some progress with that.
00:24:40.000 But what happens is Canada has government-funded healthcare.
00:24:44.000 So all of the R&D takes place in the United States.
00:24:46.000 It's why you have more MRI machines in the state of Vermont than the entire country of Canada.
00:24:50.000 Canada takes the drugs, subsidizes them, and then sells them back to Americans who paid for them effectively twice through their taxpayer, through their tax dollars, and then buying them across the border.
00:25:01.000 Let's look at the budgets here, for example.
00:25:03.000 With all of that, the defense.
00:25:04.000 This is what matters most.
00:25:06.000 The United States is the only reason that Canada is allowed to exist.
00:25:09.000 So why should we defend Canada?
00:25:11.000 Why should we be funding Ukraine if they're going to turn around and screw us on our lumber industry? 1.00
00:25:16.000 So let's look at our budget, right?
00:25:18.000 Look at the defense budget.
00:25:19.000 The United States, $876 billion.
00:25:23.000 The NATO agreement says 2% of your GDP. Canada, $27 billion.
00:25:29.000 That's less than 1.4% of their GDP. Less than 1.4%.
00:25:35.000 Anyone here believe that Canada can protect its own borders?
00:25:38.000 Anyone here believe that Canada wouldn't be standing there with their hand out, demanding the United States go and defend them if something were to happen? 0.96
00:25:46.000 But right now, they act arrogantly and tell us, well, you Americans are fascists, whatever, insert whatever they want to hear while they use electricity in their light bulbs and watch their Seinfeld and Simpsons and listen to their American music because it's a silly place.
00:25:58.000 The good news is, according to Trudeau, though, Canada will finally hit its NATO spending for the first time since the 1970s really soon.
00:26:06.000 Canada fully expects to reach NATO's 2% of GDP spending target by 2032. Oh.
00:26:17.000 2032?
00:26:18.000 2032?
00:26:19.000 Think about this for a second.
00:26:22.000 They can't...
00:26:23.000 Okay, you can only plan for this in 2032. Okay, hey, how about you cut out socialized healthcare to meet the international agreement that you signed with NATO? Hey, you know what?
00:26:33.000 The next hundred billion dollars going to Ukraine, how about that comes from you?
00:26:37.000 Stop subsidizing with your tax dollars.
00:26:39.000 Healthcare, drugs, internet.
00:26:41.000 Media, CBC, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, lumber.
00:26:44.000 Just get rid of all of these luxuries that you like to lord over the United States because you're so progressive and start paying what you already agreed to, I believe in the 1950s, an original member of NATO. You haven't hit 2% of your GDP since 1971. I believe I'm going by road.
00:27:03.000 If I'm off by two years, forgive me.
00:27:04.000 References in the sidebar.
00:27:07.000 We're going to get it done by 2032. Okay, here's my rule.
00:27:10.000 We will not fund any of your defense.
00:27:12.000 If Russia attacks you, they can take you until you start paying immediately.
00:27:17.000 Right now.
00:27:18.000 And we're not buying any of your lumber.
00:27:21.000 Why is the United States allowing themselves to be taken advantage of? 0.62
00:27:24.000 Do you realize that Canada is a bigger country than the USA as far as land mass?
00:27:28.000 Canada has 151,000 miles of border.
00:27:33.000 Wow.
00:27:34.000 151,000 miles.
00:27:35.000 They spend about $437 per mile protecting their border.
00:27:39.000 The United States?
00:27:40.000 We spend $790,000.
00:27:44.000 Huge portion of that border is us.
00:27:47.000 Hey, why don't we just hop over it and take your stuff, Canada? 1.00
00:27:51.000 Can you imagine Genghis Khan putting up with this shit? 1.00
00:27:55.000 No, not chance. 1.00
00:27:56.000 I can't imagine him putting up with anything. 0.98
00:27:58.000 Dude, they are arrogant. 0.93
00:27:59.000 I had to work with them in Afghanistan. 0.87
00:28:00.000 Most of them nice guys.
00:28:01.000 But they had the police.
00:28:04.000 They were the police on Kandahar Airfield.
00:28:06.000 And they would give out tickets.
00:28:08.000 Like speeding tickets?
00:28:09.000 Yeah, speeding tickets.
00:28:10.000 We got a pullover.
00:28:10.000 We got a speeding ticket for going 20 miles per hour.
00:28:12.000 It was supposed to be kilometers.
00:28:13.000 We were going the wrong speed.
00:28:14.000 They pulled us over, gave us a ticket.
00:28:15.000 We were like, oh, we're Rangers.
00:28:16.000 We don't care.
00:28:17.000 Do whatever you want.
00:28:17.000 How do they enforce that?
00:28:18.000 Is it like they revoked your license for the community of Kandahar?
00:28:21.000 I didn't take care of it. 0.99
00:28:22.000 They probably contacted our command and told them, hey, you guys are beating dicks. 1.00
00:28:26.000 And they're probably like, yeah, screw you. 1.00
00:28:27.000 Yeah, whatever. 0.99
00:28:28.000 Good luck, Kandahar.
00:28:28.000 Collecting!
00:28:29.000 Get back to the jailhouse on the safe base.
00:28:32.000 Hey, Rangers, we wrote you a ticket for going 15 over.
00:28:35.000 You guys going to pay that?
00:28:38.000 No?
00:28:38.000 It's like $150.
00:28:41.000 With the exchange rate.
00:28:42.000 If we say please.
00:28:44.000 I better get back to the cafeteria.
00:28:45.000 They're serving pancakes and maple syrup today.
00:28:48.000 That's right.
00:28:48.000 And our rations, we get beer.
00:28:51.000 I'll meet you down at the Tim Hortons.
00:28:52.000 It's true.
00:28:52.000 They get Tim Hortons all over that country, by the way.
00:28:53.000 He's not joking.
00:28:54.000 No, they get beer in their rations.
00:28:55.000 Please take us seriously as a country.
00:28:57.000 No.
00:28:58.000 No, we will not.
00:29:00.000 And then I grew up in Canada.
00:29:02.000 I always say, oh, America's this evil empire.
00:29:04.000 Really?
00:29:05.000 Name me an empire who wouldn't take over Canada immediately.
00:29:08.000 Yeah, the Romans would have taken that so long ago.
00:29:10.000 The Romans, the Turks, the Ottomans, the Mongols. 0.83
00:29:15.000 Not a person alive would know that their queen was on the money at some point. 0.94
00:29:18.000 Right.
00:29:18.000 Exactly.
00:29:19.000 So this is where we are with Canada.
00:29:20.000 When Donald Trump is saying, you know what, we're not going to do that anymore.
00:29:22.000 Keep in mind, we fund the defense of the entire world so that places like Germany can give their people free internet because it's a human right.
00:29:30.000 Really?
00:29:31.000 Internet's a human right?
00:29:31.000 Hey, how about ensuring that they don't get genocided again?
00:29:34.000 How about that?
00:29:35.000 Oh, that's right.
00:29:36.000 Okay.
00:29:36.000 The problem is you don't even honor your agreements.
00:29:38.000 It's the most basic agreement.
00:29:40.000 NATO. Everyone benefits from the United States. 0.76
00:29:42.000 NATO might as well be called, hey, USA, we want more money.
00:29:46.000 And Donald Trump is saying, we're not doing that anymore.
00:29:48.000 You better start paying your fair share.
00:29:49.000 Remember that?
00:29:49.000 Pay their fair share!
00:29:51.000 Right, socialists?
00:29:52.000 Oh, I, uh...
00:29:54.000 Yeah, Finnegan is calling.
00:29:56.000 Sorry to interrupt.
00:29:57.000 Finnegan's trying to call into the show.
00:29:59.000 He's not even on assignment.
00:30:02.000 Okay, well, I guess put them on.
00:30:03.000 All right, Finnegan, we weren't expecting your call today.
00:30:14.000 What breaking news do you have for us today?
00:30:17.000 Hi, Steven.
00:30:18.000 Hi.
00:30:18.000 What do you want, Thomas?
00:30:20.000 Happy Thanksgiving.
00:30:21.000 Yeah, you're about a week late on that one, Thomas.
00:30:23.000 In the spirit of the season, would you have a place for me to stay?
00:30:27.000 Where are you now?
00:30:28.000 Looks cozy.
00:30:29.000 Are you at home?
00:30:31.000 Oh, I can never afford a place as nice as this.
00:30:34.000 Hey, man.
00:30:35.000 Can I have these?
00:30:37.000 What do you need them for?
00:30:38.000 Uh...
00:30:39.000 I don't know.
00:30:40.000 Maybe sell them?
00:30:41.000 Yeah. 0.97
00:30:42.000 Maybe some sex stuff? 0.66
00:30:43.000 Okay. 0.80
00:30:43.000 Okay, but this isn't my place. 0.80
00:30:45.000 I'm just squatting until my ex-wife takes me back. 0.98
00:30:47.000 No, she got remarried, Thomas.
00:30:48.000 We've been through this.
00:30:49.000 She has a restraining order. 1.00
00:30:50.000 You having trouble finding a home?
00:30:51.000 Is that what's going on right now?
00:30:53.000 Finding is easy.
00:30:55.000 It's the financing.
00:30:56.000 That's a whole different story.
00:30:57.000 I'll have Gerald set you up with American financing when he gets back, and he can juice you up.
00:31:02.000 Hey, who's Gerald?
00:31:03.000 Does he want a catalytic converter?
00:31:05.000 Oh, he's not here.
00:31:06.000 How many do you have?
00:31:07.000 He's not here today.
00:31:08.000 None.
00:31:09.000 But I'll probably have some like four o'clock.
00:31:11.000 Okay, I think that's enough.
00:31:13.000 Tim, you can cut it.
00:31:14.000 Yeah, you can cut it for the thing.
00:31:15.000 And you can go to AmericanFinancing.net.
00:31:27.000 They deserve better than that.
00:31:28.000 There are no upfront fees.
00:31:30.000 You can close in 10 days right now, especially with the housing market being as it is.
00:31:35.000 It's important to know that these people have your back.
00:31:37.000 You can save up to $800 a month on average if you call them 1-800-974-6500, 1-800-974-6500, or go to AmericanFinancing.net slash Crowder.
00:31:48.000 And I'm supposed to jump in here and do Gerald's part, right?
00:31:50.000 The NMLS number.
00:31:52.000 What's that?
00:31:52.000 1-8-2-3-3-4, apparently.
00:31:54.000 That's the NMLS number.
00:31:55.000 That's right.
00:31:56.000 You've got to get that number.
00:31:56.000 ConsumerAccess.org.
00:31:57.000 Yeah, it's 1-8-2-3-3-4.
00:31:59.000 That's right.
00:31:59.000 In a world.
00:32:00.000 Is that how Gerald sounds?
00:32:01.000 No.
00:32:03.000 He sounds like, oh my god, he's defecting! 1.00
00:32:06.000 Go to NMLS. ConsumerAccess.org.
00:32:09.000 I'm Gerald.
00:32:10.000 Poor kids.
00:32:10.000 Jerry Lewis helped them.
00:32:12.000 That's right.
00:32:13.000 You do a great Gerald.
00:32:16.000 If I close my eyes, I can't tell it's not me.
00:32:19.000 That's my best impression.
00:32:20.000 That's pretty good.
00:32:20.000 Do Christopher Walken.
00:32:22.000 Christopher Walken as Gerald.
00:32:23.000 Hey, I realized I'm gay. 0.99
00:32:27.000 That's so silly. 0.97
00:32:34.000 It is great, though. 0.90
00:32:35.000 Americanfinancing.net.
00:32:36.000 They've actually been helping a lot of people here out, so we're happy to be partnered with them.
00:32:41.000 Did he help you yet?
00:32:42.000 Did Gerald hook you up or no?
00:32:45.000 We'll get into it, but yes, yes, yes, actually.
00:32:48.000 I definitely got screwed, and they are helping remedy it to a significant degree.
00:32:53.000 Anything you want to add on Canada? 0.82
00:32:54.000 Because you were forced to live there for a long time in Quebec.
00:32:59.000 Where do you begin?
00:33:00.000 Quebec is Western Europe, really.
00:33:02.000 But Canada would be like a liberal American state.
00:33:05.000 So I think that's a good analogy, Trump says.
00:33:07.000 You know, let him be governor of a state that would be like California, really.
00:33:10.000 Yeah.
00:33:10.000 They've lost their way completely.
00:33:12.000 Yeah, Canada's done.
00:33:13.000 Canada's completely...
00:33:14.000 I mean, they might come back now when you're talking about...
00:33:15.000 What's his name?
00:33:16.000 La...
00:33:19.000 Poiliev?
00:33:20.000 Poiliev.
00:33:20.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:33:21.000 So the pendulum's going to swing back the other way, but...
00:33:23.000 But conservatism means something else there.
00:33:25.000 You know, they didn't rebel against a king.
00:33:28.000 You know, they acquiesced.
00:33:29.000 It's a whole different spirit of people, right?
00:33:31.000 Right.
00:33:31.000 So I don't know what conservatism really means, maybe fiscally.
00:33:34.000 It means they conserve a lot of heat.
00:33:36.000 Yeah.
00:33:36.000 Yes.
00:33:37.000 Yeah, it's one of those things.
00:33:39.000 People don't understand, like, a huge reason for this, that the United States...
00:33:42.000 Let me be...
00:33:43.000 This will be reductive.
00:33:48.000 The reason that the rest of the world expects the United States to step in and fix whether it's World War II or Ukraine today, it's the same reason that this nation has the Second Amendment.
00:34:00.000 It was founded on guns and political violence, fighting off tyranny.
00:34:06.000 You understand that?
00:34:06.000 That's how we went from under the thumb of tyranny to the world's only superpower the next century.
00:34:11.000 The same thing that these people from other countries complain about is what allowed us to be in the driver's seat when they come begging.
00:34:19.000 Let's be really clear about that.
00:34:20.000 Yep, Canada has the queen on their money. 0.99
00:34:21.000 Yep, you look at Japan, which we'll get to.
00:34:23.000 They're largely a people who have been made submissive.
00:34:27.000 You're talking about a history of an empire.
00:34:28.000 The United States is the one that said no, absolutely not in modern history.
00:34:33.000 And you had people, effectively farmers with guns, fight off royalty.
00:34:40.000 That's why we can give 100 plus billion, pledge it to Ukraine.
00:34:44.000 That's why we can be the international peacekeepers of the world.
00:34:47.000 You may not like it, but it's all part of the same agreement.
00:34:50.000 We just ask that you make it fair.
00:34:52.000 Yeah.
00:34:52.000 Speaking of international peace, I've just seen on CNN breaking news that South Korea president has declared martial law.
00:34:59.000 Really?
00:34:59.000 Yeah.
00:35:00.000 Can we go to this really quickly before I go to Trump and Japan?
00:35:03.000 Sure.
00:35:04.000 This is good Korea. 0.96
00:35:05.000 It's been about an hour.
00:35:05.000 Right.
00:35:06.000 Until this point.
00:35:07.000 Absolutely.
00:35:09.000 And currently, give us some perspective on all this.
00:35:11.000 Donald Trump comes into the White House January 20th.
00:35:15.000 He has had a very interesting relationship with the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
00:35:20.000 Can you let me know why martial law is being declared?
00:35:24.000 Again, we kind of live in a vacuum here.
00:35:26.000 They're looking into it.
00:35:28.000 I love how some of the guys have night vision goggles and some of them just don't.
00:35:31.000 One guy has the decked out, one for each eye.
00:35:36.000 It's got four lenses total.
00:35:38.000 And then some guys are just like, I can't see in the dark.
00:35:39.000 Well, one of them is wrong.
00:35:41.000 That's the thing.
00:35:41.000 It's like, either you need that or it's entirely inappropriate and you can't see well.
00:35:46.000 It was a night vision grab bag.
00:35:51.000 You just stop by a convenience store.
00:35:52.000 You're like, I'm going to sell you...
00:35:56.000 Lane the Brain says it's because of opposition party activities right now.
00:36:00.000 Opposition party activities.
00:36:02.000 What would Lane know about South Korea?
00:36:03.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:36:04.000 He is currently live streaming with South Korea right now.
00:36:09.000 Yes, he is.
00:36:10.000 In a tank top.
00:36:11.000 He corrected me today and said it's Nippon.
00:36:14.000 I said, okay, I'm sorry.
00:36:15.000 Oh, that's right.
00:36:16.000 Lane know very much because I used to tweak his Nippon. 0.93
00:36:23.000 I gave him a purple nipple. 0.91
00:36:25.000 That's right, purple nipple. 1.00
00:36:27.000 Ginger man really likes. 0.98
00:36:28.000 That's right.
00:36:29.000 Give a nip on Twitter We're just messing with everyone not in studio today Yeah They can't defend themselves.
00:36:46.000 We're talking about Korea, but we're about to go to Japan.
00:36:48.000 So forgive me, I know that there's differences in Asia.
00:36:53.000 But the truth is, I don't really care.
00:36:54.000 Kind of.
00:36:57.000 Kind of differences?
00:36:58.000 Yeah, I mean, you're talking Samsung and Suzuki.
00:37:00.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:37:01.000 But it's Nippon.
00:37:02.000 Nippon.
00:37:03.000 All right, let's get to the land of the rising Nippon. 0.96
00:37:10.000 Is that Mount Fuji?
00:37:15.000 I do love a good Fuji apple.
00:37:16.000 It is my favorite apple.
00:37:18.000 All you honey crispers, get out the way. 1.00
00:37:20.000 Hey, come on. 0.77
00:37:21.000 It's a lab apple.
00:37:22.000 I like it.
00:37:23.000 So Donald Trump, we went through Hamas.
00:37:24.000 We went through Canada.
00:37:25.000 And by the way, I don't think this wouldn't be ideal if Donald Trump were to follow through on this.
00:37:30.000 But again, you may not know about the unfair business practices or trade practices that take place with Japan. 0.88
00:37:36.000 Certainly, if you understand, when you think the United States is racist, go spend some time in Japan.
00:37:41.000 Go see a billboard with Bob Sapp as a gorilla smashing bananas into his face selling novelty sex toys and Japanese people just taking a picture. 0.99
00:37:49.000 Oh, a lot of black men. 0.99
00:37:50.000 Very, very funny. 0.99
00:37:51.000 Look like a gorilla.
00:37:54.000 It's a thing.
00:37:55.000 It's a thing.
00:37:58.000 And then if you're a foreigner, good luck leasing an apartment. 0.98
00:38:01.000 Oh, no, no, no, no!
00:38:03.000 Only for a national.
00:38:04.000 You're like, what?
00:38:05.000 You can do that?
00:38:06.000 Yes, yes.
00:38:07.000 Very racist.
00:38:09.000 You just don't understand this because you're sheltered from the United States.
00:38:11.000 And so, so many Americans think it's our job, our requirement to be benevolent to the whole world.
00:38:16.000 I really do hope we enter into an era where we just...
00:38:19.000 Reset the table and say we're going to stop getting screwed.
00:38:22.000 That's what is going on when Donald Trump is posting about Nippon Steel purchasing an American company.
00:38:29.000 So he posted this on Truth.
00:38:31.000 He said, I am totally against the once great and powerful U.S. steel being bought by a foreign company.
00:38:38.000 In this case, Nippon Steel of Japan.
00:38:42.000 Through a series of tax incentives and tariffs, we will make U.S. steel strong and great again and it will be happening fast.
00:38:50.000 As a president, I will block this deal from happening.
00:38:54.000 I love this last part.
00:38:55.000 Buyer beware!
00:38:59.000 Is it a goosebumps?
00:39:00.000 You're in Fresca.
00:39:05.000 So, just to be clear, when people try and single out Donald Trump, this is what you're seeing from the media, this is the same thing that was expressed by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, John Fetterman, the Steelworkers Union.
00:39:16.000 And this isn't ideal.
00:39:18.000 The pre-market trading after Trump made this announcement, right, U.S. Steel is down 7%.
00:39:21.000 There is an argument to be made that it would be better for a Japanese company to buy U.S. Steel, who has driven themselves into the ground.
00:39:27.000 Not just.
00:39:28.000 That's not the only factor because they also have unfortunately been victims of unfair trade practices.
00:39:34.000 But yeah, steelworkers unions in this country don't really care about you or care about the market.
00:39:38.000 They care about never ending billets.
00:39:40.000 That's not lost on me.
00:39:41.000 Japan, by the way, should also say is considering Buying the Steel City's baseball team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and changing the name to the Pittsburgh Samurai.
00:39:48.000 And this is the issue that's just, I don't, you know...
00:39:51.000 Yes!
00:39:52.000 It's not needed.
00:39:54.000 Oh, we're all with Paul Skeens.
00:39:55.000 Yes.
00:39:58.000 So what is Donald Trump doing?
00:40:00.000 Okay, let's look at what Fast Fact 1 here. 0.92
00:40:02.000 What killed American Steel.
00:40:06.000 By the way, I told you guys we're going to get to the COVID report, right?
00:40:08.000 Select subcommittee report.
00:40:09.000 Okay.
00:40:10.000 All right.
00:40:10.000 I forgot.
00:40:11.000 So, there are a few things.
00:40:14.000 And it's not lost on me that the unions have harmed American steel production.
00:40:18.000 Okay?
00:40:18.000 We'll get to that.
00:40:19.000 But a big part of it is Chinese overproduction dumping their steel.
00:40:22.000 It's completely destroyed the United States steel industry.
00:40:25.000 Right?
00:40:26.000 China's actually making just as much steel as the rest of the world combined.
00:40:30.000 And then they dump their excess product out there, and so this happens, of course, they do it at cheap prices on foreign markets, and what does that do?
00:40:36.000 It basically makes it, it's really hard to compete with a nation that employs slave labor. 0.96
00:40:43.000 That's the whole we are the world thing?
00:40:46.000 It's pretty tough when you have Uyghurs chained to a loom. 1.00
00:40:50.000 Right?
00:40:50.000 Or you have a bunch of Chinese dissidents who are forced to work in a foundry.
00:40:55.000 Let's be really clear about this.
00:40:56.000 We're not all the world.
00:40:58.000 So that is a problem.
00:41:00.000 But the United States unions, who of course it's a never-ending revolving door between unions and Democrats, they exchange hands, right?
00:41:08.000 They cut off their nose to spite their face.
00:41:09.000 They also killed the industry, very much like we saw with the automotive industry.
00:41:13.000 However, Nippon, this Japanese company, is going to be able to take advantage of all that.
00:41:18.000 In other words, they benefit from China.
00:41:20.000 Japan benefits from communist China screwing American companies out of the marketplace. 0.84
00:41:25.000 Which brings us to a key fact number two that does need to be corrected.
00:41:29.000 You may not realize this because when you hear about tariffs in the United States, you go, oh my gosh, that's novel.
00:41:33.000 It is the way of the world everywhere else.
00:41:37.000 Especially when dealing with American goods.
00:41:39.000 So Japan, for example, they've heavily subsidized the steel industry since the mid-20th century.
00:41:45.000 They give them tax breaks.
00:41:46.000 There are import barriers.
00:41:48.000 There's all kinds of investment coordination between government and a lot of these executives.
00:41:52.000 So, just to give you an example, in October 2024, Nippon Steel made a request for government subsidies to build new electric furnace plants, which will very likely be granted.
00:42:01.000 So they get subsidies from their government, while our companies here lose our market to communist China so that Japan can come in and snatch them up. 0.87
00:42:11.000 I think it's a good thing for a company to at least still be in existence, right?
00:42:16.000 It's better for, for example, Toyota.
00:42:19.000 Toyota, I believe, employs more Americans than the big three here in the United States, and they use more American parts.
00:42:24.000 That's a good thing.
00:42:25.000 The issue is it not being equitable.
00:42:28.000 And so, let me give you an example, too.
00:42:31.000 Well, first, let me give you a couple of more current examples, and I'll go back to Ronald Reagan.
00:42:36.000 Would Japan let an American company buy Toyota?
00:42:40.000 I think some of them will have a little stock, but not the whole company.
00:42:42.000 No, they wouldn't let them buy the whole company.
00:42:44.000 For example, I believe Sprint, T-Mobile, that merger was SoftBank, which is a Japanese company.
00:42:49.000 Japan is owning one of the biggest telecommunications companies in the United States.
00:42:53.000 How many do we own in Japan?
00:42:55.000 Would that be permitted?
00:42:56.000 No, it would not.
00:42:57.000 That's the issue.
00:42:58.000 These other countries are the benefactors of the United States.
00:43:01.000 It is the world's largest market.
00:43:03.000 They all want to get in, but they all want to keep us out.
00:43:06.000 So when it comes to their own products in their country, they're nationalists.
00:43:10.000 When it comes to selling, of course, they're internationalists because, by God, they need that American consumer.
00:43:15.000 Let's use that power and not allow ourselves to be bent over.
00:43:20.000 They completely, Japan, they reject It's referred to as FDI, Foreign Direct Investment.
00:43:25.000 So in terms of FDI as a percentage of GDP, it's sort of a metric that's used.
00:43:29.000 References available on the sidebar.
00:43:30.000 Japan ranks dead last.
00:43:32.000 They're even behind North Korea. 0.86
00:43:35.000 And yes, just for those who didn't believe me earlier, I'll give you a reference.
00:43:38.000 Japanese landlords, they're allowed to discriminate against foreign tenants.
00:43:41.000 That's an actual thing.
00:43:43.000 So imagine, Japan comes in, they purchase these companies, and they would never allow American executives. 0.50
00:43:50.000 You think that Elon Musk couldn't make some big-ass purchases in Japan?
00:43:55.000 It doesn't happen because they don't allow it.
00:43:57.000 But we allow it.
00:43:58.000 We allow it.
00:43:59.000 We allow other nations to take advantage of us.
00:44:03.000 It would be fine if it went both ways.
00:44:04.000 I realized this when I was younger.
00:44:07.000 And everyone loved Ronald Reagan, conservative president.
00:44:09.000 I was really pissed when I found out he implemented a lot of tariffs because he wanted to protect Harley-Davidson.
00:44:13.000 I believe this was during the AMF days.
00:44:15.000 There were some crossover.
00:44:16.000 They were not good bikes.
00:44:18.000 Okay.
00:44:19.000 So he created these tariffs on the better bikes.
00:44:21.000 Honda.
00:44:23.000 Yamaha, Kawasaki, they were building better bikes at that period in time.
00:44:25.000 But the tariffs were so expensive, it basically kind of robbed Americans from getting a far more affordable bike.
00:44:31.000 So that's bad for Americans.
00:44:32.000 But then when you look at Japan and you look at what was taking place with American autos, with American bikes, with American goods and services across the board, oh my gosh, it was going on for a long time.
00:44:42.000 This was a way of fighting back against the unfair practices.
00:44:45.000 Do you realize that the United States were not able to sell cars?
00:44:49.000 Cars effectively in a competitive rate in Europe, of course in China, in places like Japan.
00:44:54.000 If you look at the tariffs, you look at the taxes, you think that there isn't an American executive who could buy up Brio?
00:45:00.000 When I was in Europe, I was like, what the hell is this car? 1.00
00:45:02.000 It was a pile of tin shit. 0.99
00:45:05.000 You don't even know about it because it wouldn't sell here. 1.00
00:45:08.000 Three wheels.
00:45:08.000 Yeah.
00:45:11.000 Of course an American company could.
00:45:12.000 They don't allow it because they're nationalists when it comes to protecting their country.
00:45:15.000 And now that brings us to what do they do here in the United States?
00:45:18.000 Japan has a long history of acquiring American assets.
00:45:21.000 So yeah, I use that example, SoftBank.
00:45:22.000 They acquired Sprint, and then they helped that merge happen with T-Mobile.
00:45:27.000 In 1989, the Mitsubishi Estate Company, they bought 51% of Rockefeller Center, you know, an American institution.
00:45:35.000 1990, Matsushita Electric Industrial Company purchased MCA, the owner of Universal Studios.
00:45:40.000 So you look, these are major purchases taking place in the United States that would never be allowed to take place over there.
00:45:47.000 And then they come in and they buy up American companies.
00:45:50.000 Do you see the problem?
00:45:51.000 This is the art of the deal.
00:45:52.000 Come in hot, be willing to walk away from the table.
00:45:55.000 I think that Donald Trump is using this as a negotiating tactic so that he says, okay, if you want to buy this company, then you probably have to employ X amount of Americans, invest in the community, as opposed to simply seeing us as a money crop harvesting and walking off, which is what we've allowed foreign... 0.80
00:46:11.000 Foreign nationals in some point, but certainly foreign companies to do in the United States.
00:46:14.000 We just have to make sure it takes place on an even playing field.
00:46:16.000 Comment below.
00:46:17.000 This is one of those issues where if you disagree, I understand.
00:46:20.000 This is a nuanced issue.
00:46:26.000 I think it's pretty cut and dry.
00:46:27.000 But international trade is one where, you know, you kind of find the intersect on the graph.
00:46:32.000 I'm disappointed that this Japanese company owns Universal Studios and they haven't replaced the Jurassic Park ride with Godzilla. 0.95
00:46:40.000 That's disappointing.
00:46:41.000 Yeah.
00:46:41.000 Well, I don't think they know the difference.
00:46:42.000 I feel like they're missing out.
00:46:43.000 Yes, and they still keep the jaws right to their Universal Studios, which doesn't hold up very well.
00:46:48.000 It's not scary.
00:46:49.000 No, it's not super scary.
00:46:51.000 What do you think, Pops?
00:46:52.000 Because you used to be, we both were being, when we were growing up, like anti-tariffs and pro-free trade, but it got off the beam.
00:46:58.000 Never libertarian, but definitely a free enterpriser, and this isn't free enterprise.
00:47:02.000 And so that dovetails in with what a free enterpriser would believe.
00:47:06.000 Using it as a threat is a good tactic, I think, but sometimes you have to lay it down.
00:47:11.000 If they're not going to reciprocate, you have to spank them. 1.00
00:47:13.000 There's no other way.
00:47:15.000 If we're going to have a place in the world and these people expect us to be the policemen and do what we do, they're going to have to play with all of this.
00:47:22.000 It's very frustrating.
00:47:23.000 But I don't think that goes against any free enterprise values to do that.
00:47:27.000 I don't think so.
00:47:28.000 Once you enter government subsidies into the equation, you are now past the land of free enterprise.
00:47:32.000 You're in something, but it's not free enterprise.
00:47:34.000 It's not a free exchange of goods and services.
00:47:36.000 It would be hilarious if everyone logged into their phone though and their Pokemon Go no longer worked.
00:47:39.000 Gotcha!
00:47:41.000 Is that still a game?
00:47:42.000 I have no idea.
00:47:43.000 I was trying to think of something Japanese that wasn't Japanese.
00:47:45.000 Some people still play it. 0.95
00:47:46.000 It wasn't pornographic, and Pokemon Go is the only thing that came to mind because they're very depraved, perverted people.
00:47:51.000 It was during the 2016 election when Hillary said, Pokemon go to the polls.
00:47:56.000 Yes, that's right.
00:47:57.000 Pokemon go to the polls!
00:48:00.000 This is going to hurt our brand.
00:48:06.000 Heard her election chances, too.
00:48:08.000 Oh my gosh.
00:48:09.000 That's when they debuted the new Pokemon, Benghazi.
00:48:10.000 Yes!
00:48:14.000 It just evolves into an international scandal.
00:48:16.000 What is it, Benghazi?
00:48:17.000 Yeah, I don't know what the next name would be.
00:48:18.000 Hey, name it.
00:48:18.000 We'll do it in chat.
00:48:19.000 What's the next phase or stage?
00:48:21.000 I don't know.
00:48:21.000 I'm not a nerd of Benghazi Pokemon.
00:48:24.000 I messed that up.
00:48:25.000 Go to crudershop.com.
00:48:26.000 Support in style.
00:48:27.000 US House Subcommittee.
00:48:28.000 Wrong one.
00:48:28.000 No, that's not it.
00:48:29.000 What?
00:48:30.000 That's the next clip.
00:48:31.000 That's the next clip.
00:48:33.000 All right.
00:48:34.000 This is one of those where thank you and we, meaning you, are vindicated.
00:48:40.000 The intro we ran today, Kung Flu Fighting, you can't find it on YouTube.
00:48:43.000 If you search Stephen Crowder or Ladder with Crowder, Kung Flu Fighting, you'll find other people who ripped it and re-uploaded it because at a certain point they said, meaning the powers that be at Google and YouTube, said, okay, all right, you're kind of allowed to talk about it now.
00:48:56.000 Well...
00:48:57.000 We're actually making some progress here because yesterday the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, right, this is the official subcommittee tasked with running an investigation, they released their report and we are going to go through three key takeaway findings, giving you all the references so that you know beyond any shadow of a doubt the truth.
00:49:17.000 But let's start with this.
00:49:19.000 None of us here are surprised with the findings.
00:49:22.000 The U.S. House subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic released its final report today, and the findings would have gotten you canceled a mere three years ago, had you suggested them then.
00:49:31.000 Things like the NIH did fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan, and there was widespread cover-up of the origins.
00:49:38.000 Most likely, the report says, a leak from the Wuhan lab.
00:49:41.000 Also, the teachers' unions enabled school closures that had an enduring and negative impact on millions of kids.
00:49:47.000 So, just to be clear, before people say, oh, this is just pro-Trump, the subcommittee is part of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
00:49:54.000 They are tasked with overseeing the federal government and sort of being an enforcement arm or a watchdog as it relates to accountability.
00:50:02.000 This is long-standing.
00:50:03.000 This is not a new thing.
00:50:05.000 which actually right now will go through this report, the three key findings, but brings us to an installment of Then and Now.
00:50:12.000 I remember when this was happening, Pop Scroider, you were ripping out the hair you had left.
00:50:24.000 Oh, that's mean.
00:50:25.000 I'm sorry.
00:50:26.000 So Gerald's not here, you go on my hair line.
00:50:28.000 I'm sorry.
00:50:29.000 When he says that, that means he's got something far meaner in store for me.
00:50:33.000 Oh, no.
00:50:34.000 All right.
00:50:34.000 He's going to sit.
00:50:36.000 He's doing great over there at CNN, isn't he?
00:50:38.000 I mean, this guy is...
00:50:39.000 Oh, that conservative guy.
00:50:41.000 He's really making a go of it over there at Grover Cleveland.
00:50:42.000 He's making a go of it over there at Grover Cleveland.
00:50:44.000 I like the way he's doing it.
00:50:45.000 He was kind of slow.
00:50:46.000 The first couple times I saw him, he wasn't saying too much, too controversial, and then as the election progressed, he came out more swinging.
00:50:53.000 I think after the election, he's got a lock over there now.
00:50:56.000 They realize they need some balance, and he's going to be a big dog.
00:50:59.000 Mm-hmm. 0.99
00:51:00.000 Plus, it's the only man there who's not gay. 0.78
00:51:02.000 So that helps.
00:51:02.000 That's true.
00:51:03.000 We don't know.
00:51:04.000 It's an inordinate percentage, some may say.
00:51:07.000 Yes, it is.
00:51:08.000 Over there at CNN. It's almost the inverse of what you see in the pop.
00:51:10.000 I don't know if you know this, but the straight male market, heterosexual, is far larger than the homosexual one.
00:51:17.000 You wouldn't know it to watch Hollywood and CNN. If you're an alien and you land it, you're like, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
00:51:24.000 So I guess everyone loves dick. 1.00
00:51:26.000 You're like, no, no, no. 1.00
00:51:26.000 It's not true. 1.00
00:51:27.000 It's not true.
00:51:28.000 No.
00:51:29.000 You're wrong.
00:51:31.000 Or at ABC. Yes, or ABC. Why are there so many guys kissing?
00:51:36.000 How do you reproduce?
00:51:38.000 Beep, beep, beep, beep.
00:51:43.000 And what's with Africa? 0.84
00:51:44.000 Okay, let's move on.
00:51:45.000 Now, let's go, this is what you were told back then.
00:51:51.000 And it's not just what you were told, but the enforcement from your institutions.
00:51:55.000 Remember?
00:51:56.000 Donald Trump has sown mistrust in your institutions.
00:51:58.000 Well, here's some more ammo for you.
00:52:01.000 Back then, you were told absolutely by the authorities at B, your institutions, the NIH did not fund gain-of-function research.
00:52:09.000 The NIH and NIAID Did not fund gain-of-function research to be conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:52:19.000 They took animal viruses that only occur in animals, and they increased their transmissibility to humans.
00:52:26.000 How you can say that is not gain-of-function?
00:52:28.000 It is not.
00:52:29.000 The NIH did not fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:52:35.000 Okay.
00:52:36.000 Well, it brings us to now...
00:52:40.000 Well, they did.
00:52:43.000 That's what the report says, that taxpayer dollars did, in fact, fund dangerous gain-of-function research in Wuhan.
00:52:51.000 Here's from the report.
00:52:52.000 Dr. Fauci's testimony to Senator Paul misled the public regarding NIH funding of gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:52:59.000 It also concluded that the NIH was, quote, deficient in its oversight of gain-of-function research and fostered an environment that promoted evading federal record information Keeping laws.
00:53:11.000 Keep in mind at this same point in time you had the White House colluding with big tech to have anyone removed who suggested that what we now know to be true was true.
00:53:22.000 Alright, next point.
00:53:24.000 Remember back then...
00:53:28.000 We were all told.
00:53:29.000 And you were told.
00:53:30.000 And the left loves to...
00:53:31.000 Don't you realize the left loves to use the word narcissist and gaslighting?
00:53:36.000 Because it's them.
00:53:37.000 You were gaslit. 0.98
00:53:38.000 You were told you were crazy. 0.85
00:53:40.000 I'm using the proper definition.
00:53:42.000 You think that COVID didn't...
00:53:45.000 That it could have come from a lab?
00:53:46.000 That's absolutely insane. 0.69
00:53:47.000 We're going to remove you if you suggest this because it's so insane it's dangerous.
00:53:52.000 The conspiracy that COVID came from a lab?
00:53:54.000 Remember?
00:53:55.000 Then?
00:53:56.000 The laboratory in the city of Wuhan at the center of conspiracy theories and a U.S. government investigation is once again denouncing notions that it had anything to do with the origins of the pandemic.
00:54:07.000 This virus was actually circulating in China, likely in Wuhan.
00:54:13.000 For a month or more before they were clinically recognized at the end of December of 2019. This morning, Dr. Anthony Fauci is shooting down theories that the coronavirus was man-made.
00:54:26.000 He tells National Geographic everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that this virus evolved in nature and then jumped species.
00:54:35.000 But the evidence from the virology community points strongly towards a natural occurrence.
00:54:41.000 There are no lab leaks that have led to pandemics.
00:54:46.000 That last one is pretty bad because it was pretty definitive.
00:54:51.000 He kind of overreached there because now it turns out it did.
00:54:58.000 Well, well, well.
00:55:00.000 Came from the lab.
00:55:02.000 That's it.
00:55:02.000 I'm getting rid of my Fauci bobblehead doll.
00:55:04.000 Yes, exactly.
00:55:05.000 March him down the street.
00:55:07.000 Yeah.
00:55:08.000 Don't worry, he'll be employed for another 40 years.
00:55:09.000 They might do another bobblehead night.
00:55:11.000 Yes, exactly.
00:55:12.000 Well, hopefully there'll be another HIV-AIDS epidemic that he can be wrong about.
00:55:16.000 Yeah!
00:55:16.000 You can get it from your brother.
00:55:17.000 This is the reason they confirmed it came from a lab leak.
00:55:21.000 They said that COVID's biological characteristics are not found in nature.
00:55:25.000 That seems pretty big.
00:55:26.000 That COVID stems from single introduction, one single introduction to humans, that Wuhan is home to China's foremost SARS research lab and the Wuhan Institute of Virology. 0.71
00:55:37.000 Employees, this one's pretty important, they were sick with COVID months before it was discovered in any kind of a wet market.
00:55:46.000 So it's not just someone saying at this point, eh, it came from a lab.
00:55:49.000 The report confirms it came from a lab.
00:55:51.000 Many other reports have.
00:55:52.000 It's not 100% confirmed, but if you look at the undergirding facts, it seems pretty clear at this point.
00:56:00.000 And remember, let's bring up these overlays.
00:56:02.000 The federal government, like I told you, they colluded with big tech to censor anyone even discussing this issue.
00:56:09.000 When we were saying we believe this came from a lab back in 2020, as many were, We weren't allowed to discuss it.
00:56:17.000 It's not that you weren't allowed to definitively state something that you, frankly, couldn't definitively state.
00:56:22.000 I couldn't definitively state that any more than Anthony Fauci could definitively state that it came from a bat sandwich. 0.99
00:56:27.000 You weren't allowed to discuss it.
00:56:29.000 You weren't allowed to discuss anything.
00:56:32.000 And by the way, this has been confirmed from Mark Zuckerberg.
00:56:35.000 That he complied.
00:56:36.000 And he regretted doing that, specifically as it related to COVID, whether it was gain of function, whether it was a lab, whether it was questioning the science of masks, social distancing, teachers' unions, which we'll get to.
00:56:46.000 To give you some context as to how militant they were on Facebook, back then on Twitter, on Google, on YouTube, these companies more powerful than world governments, just to be clear throughout human history, this very channel, what you support with your Mug Club membership is the only reason we could possibly survive. 0.85
00:57:03.000 Was suspended for weeks on YouTube for a comedy parody music video called Wuhan Mistake.
00:57:11.000 We were suspended for two weeks for this.
00:57:41.000 I do too.
00:57:42.000 He's a fun kid.
00:57:43.000 He made a great bat sandwich. 0.99
00:57:45.000 He did make a great bat sandwich. 0.95
00:57:47.000 You know, his dad, we need to have him on, Dr. Trey.
00:57:49.000 His dad is my doctor, so I brought him in and he thanked me for firing his son.
00:57:52.000 Why?
00:57:54.000 He taught him a valuable life lesson.
00:57:56.000 I was like, oh, thank you.
00:57:59.000 That's me.
00:58:00.000 That's how he talks?
00:58:01.000 He talks like this, but he doesn't have an accent super severe.
00:58:05.000 He has a staccato way of speaking because he's very articulate with his words.
00:58:09.000 Okay.
00:58:09.000 Thank you for firing my son.
00:58:12.000 It was a great wake-up call.
00:58:14.000 I'm like, oh, that's me, Mr. Empathy.
00:58:16.000 Now...
00:58:16.000 We usually had a kid raised in Japan.
00:58:18.000 The challenge was waking him up, though.
00:58:20.000 Yeah, I feel bad.
00:58:21.000 He might have been narcoleptic.
00:58:22.000 We did sketches and he would fall asleep all the time and at a certain point you're like, yeah, this is probably not for you if you keep falling asleep.
00:58:28.000 I serve with a narcoleptic guy.
00:58:29.000 We had to take him off the 50 cal.
00:58:32.000 Yeah, I would imagine!
00:58:34.000 Just wakes up, he's aiming at the driver like Rambo. 0.81
00:58:39.000 Hey, we need some fire here! 0.99
00:58:42.000 Like Mr. Bean in Rat Race.
00:58:44.000 Tartacwire 1500 meters.
00:58:46.000 And remember Fauci?
00:58:48.000 I'm so glad we don't have to deal with this guy anymore, Fauci.
00:58:50.000 And by the way, Donald Trump's new press secretary did have some choice words to say about Fauci.
00:58:56.000 Go ahead.
00:59:02.000 Why is the White House trashing Dr. Fauci and sending out opposition research like memos to reporters?
00:59:10.000 The president has gone off on anonymous sources in the past.
00:59:15.000 Why not have the guts to trash Dr. Fauci with your own names?
00:59:19.000 I'll do it now.
00:59:21.000 I'm speaking for the president. 1.00
