Louder with Crowder - Crowder Did WHAT?! War with Twitter Takes a Turn... | Sen. Rand Paul Guests | Louder with Crowder

00:00:00.000 Unicorns I love them, unicorns I love them, unicorns I love them. I love you too. Unicorns, unicorns, unicorns. I'm in

00:00:13.000 the middle, I'm in the middle. Goodbye, bye. Unicorns I love them.

00:00:19.000 You're a strange animal, that's what I know. You're a strange animal, I got to follow.

00:00:46.000 I'm gonna miss you baby just a little bit.

00:00:54.000 Mmm.

00:00:55.000 Tastes like COVID.

00:00:57.000 Hey, I noticed we don't have CNN on there.

00:00:57.000 Oh, delicious.

00:00:59.000 I don't know if we want to bring it up.

00:01:00.000 Good morning, everybody.

00:01:01.000 It's a busy, busy day today because we're going to have my half-Asian lawyer in here with some legal updates with Twitter been suspended.

00:01:09.000 Oh, no.

00:01:10.000 I don't know.

00:01:10.000 It seems like it's indefinitely because every time I log in, it just keeps resetting to six days.

00:01:15.000 Really?

00:01:16.000 You know, listen, it's the least relevant of the platforms.

00:01:19.000 We still have to make it sting.

00:01:21.000 We'll be talking about that, we'll be talking about Governor Whitmer, we'll be talking about George Floyd, we'll be talking about the border crisis, and we will have Rand Paul on the show, and I'm going to ask him to tone down the cattiness a little bit.

00:01:33.000 Well, really, when we're giving puberty blockers little boys.

00:01:36.000 Well, you know what?

00:01:38.000 Maybe we could give him a little bit of testosterone attack. 0.95

00:01:43.000 Hey, look, you hear that voice?

00:01:44.000 That's the Hodge twins here, conservative twins on YouTube.

00:01:46.000 How you boys doing?

00:01:47.000 Doing great, man.

00:01:48.000 Doing great, man.

00:01:49.000 Life is good.

00:01:50.000 Is life good?

00:01:50.000 Yeah.

00:01:51.000 Oh, that's nice.

00:01:52.000 It's okay.

00:01:53.000 That's great.

00:01:53.000 Another day without a cop's knee on your back is a day above ground.

00:01:56.000 Hey, just don't break the law.

00:01:58.000 Just don't.

00:01:58.000 Seems simple.

00:02:00.000 Yeah, you can't worry about that.

00:02:01.000 When he tells you to just get in the car, get in the car.

00:02:04.000 Well, I don't know about that.

00:02:05.000 Oh, you had to go there, huh?

00:02:06.000 Yeah, don't get right into the car.

00:02:07.000 Let's move that microphone a little closer to the other Kevin Keith.

00:02:12.000 Sorry.

00:02:13.000 I'm well, how are you?

00:02:13.000 Gerald A., how are you, sir?

00:02:14.000 This is a disaster.

00:02:15.000 This is terrible.

00:02:16.000 We have a lot of guests here today.

00:02:17.000 We have a lot going on in studio and Quarter Black is here. 1.00

00:02:21.000 So we have...

00:02:22.000 Some news to get to before we get to the legal update with the half-Asian Kraken. 0.99

00:02:26.000 Uh, I don't know if you guys have been following this, Keith and Kevin.

00:02:29.000 The entire Oakley school, uh, board, California, Oakley, California, because I'm sure someone else is like, there's an Oakley, Oklahoma, and someone's like, meh!

00:02:37.000 No.

00:02:37.000 No, not you.

00:02:38.000 Nobody cares.

00:02:39.000 Just like, what is it, Egypt, there's like Egypt, Texas, or Cairo, Texas.

00:02:42.000 Yeah, there is.

00:02:42.000 Do you know there's a, do you know there's a, do you know there's a, there's a place in Texas called White Settlement?

00:02:46.000 Oh.

00:02:46.000 Sounds like a nice place.

00:02:48.000 Sounds safe.

00:02:51.000 These are things we can't say.

00:02:53.000 I get to say it.

00:02:56.000 Well, that's why we have you here today because we're going to be talking about George Floyd and I can think things that I can't say.

00:03:03.000 So, the entire California, Oakley, California school board resigned.

00:03:07.000 Did you guys know why?

00:03:08.000 Let me show you because of this clip.

00:03:11.000 Whatever, I wasn't doing anything bad.

00:03:13.000 I honestly don't care about that part, but you know what?

00:03:18.000 Are we alone?

00:03:19.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:03:21.000 If you're gonna call me out, I'm gonna f*** you up! 0.99

00:03:25.000 We have an invested interest in this process, and they don't know what we're doing behind the scenes. 0.99

00:03:32.000 And it's really unfortunate that they want to pick on us because they want their babysitters back.

00:03:38.000 Laura Laundie, just FYI, you guys have the meeting, oh.

00:03:42.000 We have the meeting open to the public right now.

00:03:44.000 Uh-uh.

00:03:47.000 Nuh-uh.

00:03:48.000 That's what Lori just said. 1.00

00:03:50.000 They're all stupid. 1.00

00:03:52.000 No. 1.00

00:03:53.000 Like, no one can be a check or balance because they're all dumb. 1.00

00:03:57.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:03:58.000 You know, she looks pretty crazy, but she's not really gonna F anybody up or anything. 0.88

00:04:01.000 That's the thing, when women talk. 1.00

00:04:03.000 Careful, though, Gerald.

00:04:04.000 She said, if you, what, if you test her, she will F you up.

00:04:08.000 Oh, my gosh.

00:04:09.000 Don't test her.

00:04:13.000 That's what you get, Gerald.

00:04:14.000 That's what you get.

00:04:15.000 That's what you get. 1.00

00:04:18.000 You just get your ass whooped. 1.00

00:04:18.000 Thanks, Dad. 1.00

00:04:23.000 And I couldn't do anything back. 1.00

00:04:24.000 Talk shit gets shot, fam. 1.00

00:04:27.000 I believe in equality. 1.00

00:04:29.000 You hit me.

00:04:30.000 I'm sorry.

00:04:31.000 I believe in equality entirely across the board, except when it comes to the military standards and push-ups.

00:04:37.000 Then you ladies can do a lot less. 1.00

00:04:40.000 Because we want to make sure that we send an equal amount of you out into the battlefield to die first. 0.87

00:04:46.000 Progress.

00:04:48.000 Frontlines, here you go.

00:04:49.000 I want to be in battle.

00:04:50.000 Okay, great.

00:04:51.000 Do a pull-up.

00:04:52.000 Well, you don't have to.

00:04:54.000 Here's a 50-pound back.

00:04:55.000 Let's see if you can do the jog and put the rest of your unit in danger.

00:04:58.000 Thanks, sweetheart.

00:04:59.000 Just be sure to strap down those kits so that they don't distract anybody.

00:05:06.000 Imagine, we're considered sexist because we're like, no, no, no, we want the women and children to stay home while we protect them. 0.80

00:05:11.000 Well, why don't you think that they're as capable out in the front lines?

00:05:14.000 I do not.

00:05:15.000 Why is that?

00:05:16.000 They can't do one pull-up.

00:05:20.000 I rest my case.

00:05:21.000 I mean, I could build more of a case, but I don't think I need exhibit A through Z. No pull-up, I rest your honor.

00:05:28.000 Done.

00:05:31.000 Not all women. 0.96

00:05:32.000 Of course not.

00:05:33.000 Yeah, not all women.

00:05:34.000 I knew a pregnant friend of mine, Eric, who's out there watching.

00:05:36.000 Good friend of mine.

00:05:37.000 Looks like the guy from The Incredibles and Incredibles 2.

00:05:39.000 You've met him.

00:05:40.000 He tells all the stuff.

00:05:41.000 And his wife is a very small, petite Asian lady. 0.85

00:05:46.000 And she did six pull-ups when she was seven months pregnant. 0.99

00:05:49.000 That's like a dip belt.

00:05:49.000 Wow.

00:05:51.000 Like, Kourtney's strong.

00:05:52.000 I wouldn't put Kourtney in battle.

00:05:53.000 Kourtney's insanely strong.

00:05:54.000 Yeah.

00:05:55.000 By the way, Kourtney's speedy recovery with her surgery.

00:05:57.000 You should see her.

00:05:58.000 She just had jaw surgery. 0.84

00:06:00.000 Her face is all puffy.

00:06:01.000 She looks like every sibling interviewed in the true crime dramas.

00:06:04.000 Like, I never expected that to happen and go down like that.

00:06:07.000 She's a good man.

00:06:09.000 What is it with the eyes?

00:06:09.000 I don't know if that face is trustworthy.

00:06:11.000 I care nothing about my face.

00:06:12.000 This is the way my face is.

00:06:14.000 What's wrong with the way I talk?

00:06:16.000 Okay.

00:06:17.000 It's not permanent, so it's okay, Kourtney.

00:06:21.000 Oh, here's another one.

00:06:22.000 A judge granted a motion to ban comparisons of George Floyd to Jesus Christ.

00:06:27.000 Oh.

00:06:29.000 So this was yesterday.

00:06:30.000 Judge Peter Cahill granted the motion after a witness made the analogy.

00:06:34.000 I think we have a clip, don't we?

00:06:36.000 Yeah.

00:06:36.000 Here, this is the analogy.

00:06:38.000 Your Honor, we would agree that specifically as worded, the court could grant this with respect to the, shall we say, parties identified specifically in that motion.

00:06:53.000 I have to ask, how did this even become a motion?

00:06:57.000 Is his mask stapled on?

00:06:59.000 Is that a turtle shell ashtray?

00:07:01.000 I think, Your Honor, one of our witnesses mentioned something like this.

00:07:08.000 We do not.

00:07:10.000 Really?

00:07:12.000 Prepare your witness by telling them that analogy absolutely will not come anywhere close to being admitted.

00:07:26.000 Which brings me to today's question of the day.

00:07:28.000 Again, the best thing you can do is comment for the YouTube algorithm or some other questions with Rand Paul.

00:07:32.000 But is George Floyd, in fact, the second coming of Jesus Christ?

00:07:35.000 Hell no! 0.93

00:07:38.000 Listen, listen, all opinions are welcome.

00:07:40.000 However, if you answer anything other than, what's that?

00:07:43.000 Then you're wrong.

00:07:46.000 Hey, by the way, before we move on, you can follow me on Instagram, Ladder With Credit.

00:07:49.000 That's where you have some lifestyle stuff.

00:07:51.000 I'm not banned there yet.

00:07:53.000 Not yet.

00:07:53.000 Give it time.

00:07:54.000 And this is a live show Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.

00:07:56.000 Eastern.

00:07:56.000 That's the best way to tune in.

00:07:58.000 And next Tuesday is, what is it?

00:08:00.000 Is it March 16th?

00:08:01.000 That's when we're doing the one-year anniversary to celebrate the 15 days to slow the spread.

00:08:08.000 So on Tuesday, tune in.

00:08:09.000 We will have all of the predictions, what came true, what didn't, which rights you gave up.

00:08:14.000 Hint, it's all of them.

00:08:16.000 And, uh, yeah, well, aside from abortion... They gave you slow shit. 1.00

00:08:20.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:08:20.000 Aside from abortion, you can still have abortion up until an afterbirth in Virginia. 1.00

00:08:24.000 Just make sure you let them swab you first.

00:08:26.000 Yeah, they didn't slow those procedures down.

00:08:28.000 We wouldn't want it to be an unsanitary, unsafe abortion. 0.78

00:08:33.000 Be sure to use some Purell on that coat hanger.

00:08:35.000 So, also send your chat, people who are on the blaze, MudClub.

00:08:40.000 What do you want us to talk about with Rand Paul?

00:08:43.000 This is my question though, too, is how do they ban, like the George Floyd trial, how do they ban an analogy saying that it's inadmissible as opposed to actual evidence?

00:08:54.000 I don't know.

00:08:55.000 I mean, the judge's eyes were all I needed on that.

00:08:58.000 Oh! 0.60

00:08:59.000 I think that means we have someone to answer.

00:09:00.000 I think we have someone to answer this question for us.

00:09:05.000 My half-Asian lawyer, Phil Richman!

00:09:08.000 With some updates.

00:09:09.000 By the way, you guys are still on Twitter, right?

00:09:12.000 Yeah, last time I checked.

00:09:16.000 Hey, before we get into the Twitter stuff, what is that, the inadmissible, when someone just says George Floyd is Jesus Christ?

00:09:22.000 Because maybe they in fact think he's Jesus Christ.

00:09:24.000 Yeah, so federal and state rules of evidence that govern the trial, they have a rule in the 400s, Rule 403, it's about relevance.

00:09:31.000 Relevance is defined as very broadly, a couple of specific categories, but one of them is does the prejudicial effect outweigh the probative value?

00:09:38.000 And usually comparing someone who died in a criminal trial to a holy figure is going to sway the jury and not actually be evidence.

00:09:45.000 So that's why you can say, I don't want you to make that argument.

00:09:48.000 Right.

00:09:48.000 Okay.

00:09:49.000 Is it just me or does his audio suck? 0.94

00:09:51.000 Do you want me to do this like the old Johnny Carson? 0.96

00:09:54.000 I'm gonna jump in there.

00:09:55.000 Hey.

00:09:55.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:09:56.000 So here.

00:09:56.000 We'll just do it this way.

00:09:57.000 Let's get in there.

00:09:58.000 Does this work better and you can shut off his lav?

00:09:59.000 Alright.

00:10:00.000 I'm speaking across the microphone.

00:10:02.000 Hello.

00:10:02.000 You're still fine.

00:10:03.000 I can hear you good.

00:10:03.000 Update really quickly for people who don't know.

00:10:05.000 So we were banned on Twitter.

00:10:06.000 Let me make sure I get this right because I don't want to get sued.

00:10:08.000 Yeah.

00:10:13.000 I don't want to have to pay the retainer for that long.

00:10:16.000 I sent a sign in blood too, which I thought was a little weird.

00:10:21.000 So on Tuesday, while we were live on air, I was locked out of my Twitter account.

00:10:26.000 Banned for 12 hours.

00:10:28.000 And what was the reason Twitter gave?

00:10:30.000 Uh, it was blank.

00:10:31.000 Right.

00:10:32.000 Also known as none. 1.00

00:10:33.000 Also known as what the fuck. 0.99

00:10:36.000 Right. 0.97

00:10:36.000 Oh well, now this is going to be banned on YouTube. 0.97

00:10:38.000 Then yesterday morning, just turn off his lav and I'll work this for you because he sounds like he's talking in a pool.

00:10:44.000 Like I said, today's a disaster.

00:10:46.000 We didn't plan on being banned and slandered.

00:10:50.000 Then yesterday morning, the suspension increased to 6 days, 21 hours.

00:10:53.000 And then every time we log in, it's still 6 days and 21 hours.

00:10:56.000 Let me correct you on that.

00:10:57.000 It was actually 6 days and 9 hours.

00:11:00.000 Then 3 hours later, it went up to 6 days and 21 hours.

00:11:04.000 And for about four hours last night it just froze.

00:11:07.000 And every time you would refresh it would say, yes, you're still at six days and ten

00:11:11.000 hours.

00:11:12.000 Oh, but three hours later you're still at six days and ten hours.

00:11:15.000 And now finally someone is letting it count down.

00:11:18.000 Right.

00:11:19.000 Now, what was the reason given?

00:11:20.000 Because there's three now, three Twitter suspensions.

00:11:23.000 And look, like I said, I just want to do my job.

00:11:25.000 Yeah.

00:11:25.000 Right?

00:11:26.000 But I have no idea.

00:11:27.000 Do we know what it is that got me banned?

00:11:28.000 Well, you did get three emails.

00:11:30.000 And every single one of them was that standard form email.

00:11:33.000 Probably a lot of folks have seen it where it says, you violated the rules.

00:11:36.000 And then their form email has a spot there where they say exactly what it is.

00:11:40.000 And in every one of those, they went ahead and told you the reason.

00:11:43.000 Specifically, colon, blank.

00:11:45.000 No reason.

00:11:46.000 Now is this some legal jargon that I'm not familiar with?

00:11:49.000 Well, you know, it might be, but not in the United States of America.

00:11:52.000 No.

00:11:52.000 So, maybe if you live in communist Russia, or Venezuela, where the law doesn't matter, then maybe that might be a reason, but not here.

00:11:59.000 I think you mean socialist haven.

00:12:01.000 And when you said Russia, you meant to say Bernie Sanders' honeymoon location.

00:12:05.000 Paradise.

00:12:05.000 I did.

00:12:06.000 Yes, exactly.

00:12:07.000 These people are running your government.

00:12:08.000 Hope you like your stimulus.

00:12:12.000 So this is one of the things that's... Yeah, yeah, take it.

00:12:14.000 I'm gonna let you... I'll speak off mic because you keep having to adjust it here, so then I'll just ask questions from afar.

00:12:19.000 Okay, so here we've heard time and time again whether Jack Dorsey is in, you know, giving an Axios interview, or he's in front of Congress, or he's just tweeting... Chasing his volleyball.

00:12:29.000 Exactly.

00:12:29.000 He just...

00:12:31.000 He took a bunch of ayahuasca and he's up in northern Saskatchewan, you know, out there learning to get with nature.

00:12:36.000 He says over and over, we tell you what the reasons are, we let you know what the violations are, we're up front, we're clear, we uniformly enforce our policies, and that's the way it is.

00:12:47.000 Except here, it's not just once.

00:12:49.000 This is three weeks now with three separate alleged violations with not a single reason.

00:12:54.000 But here's the thing, people out there will go, well, why do you need the reason?

00:12:57.000 You can tell what post it was for, right?

00:12:59.000 No.

00:13:00.000 None of them are even connected to the post.

00:13:02.000 That's it.

00:13:03.000 It doesn't even say what post was the one that was violated.

00:13:06.000 And by the way, the only thing is I'll say, hit the notification bell so people are subscribed because notifications don't mean a whole lot before I give the mic over here back to Bill.

00:13:15.000 Oh boy.

00:13:17.000 Hey, what's going on?

00:13:19.000 What's happening?

00:13:20.000 Hey, can we bring up CNN really quickly?

00:13:23.000 Hold on, Bill.

00:13:24.000 I'm Lauren Fox on Capitol Hill and this is CNN.

00:13:30.000 Is that on roof?

00:13:30.000 What?

00:13:31.000 What's on roof?

00:13:32.000 is that on roof?

00:13:39.000 is that Troy Jr? 0.99

00:13:41.000 oh oh god damn it what the f**k 1.00

00:13:45.000 you'll never take me back you bastard oh my god 1.00

00:13:49.000 oh my god oh my god 1.00

00:13:53.000 who is this guy?

00:13:55.000 He's our intern, actually.

00:13:57.000 Well, you know Doc Choi.

00:13:58.000 It's his son, who interns here.

00:14:01.000 Look, there's been a rise in anti-Asian hate crime.

00:14:02.000 You guys know.

00:14:03.000 So, there's a breaking point for everybody.

00:14:06.000 Let's be sure to check on him, though.

00:14:08.000 Wait for the facts.

00:14:08.000 Wait for the facts, though.

00:14:09.000 Okay.

00:14:10.000 So, Bill, my lawyer, is this also in line with the law, and again, Twitter's own practices, but legally, where does this line up if they don't give a reason?

00:14:20.000 So this is exactly the point we've been making with other tech platforms.

00:14:23.000 Y'all can set the rules however you want to set them, but if you're going to advertise and draw in consumers from the entire United States, the entire world, creators, people who are advertising and say, we enforce our policies in a certain way, and then you don't actually follow your own rules, that is anti-competitive.

00:14:39.000 You've got one media company trying to hurt another media company, and it's deceptive.

00:14:43.000 Literally consumers are out there going, hey, No, they don't ban people without giving reasons.

00:14:48.000 They don't enforce Twitter suspensions and then reset the clock seven different times in a 24-hour period without saying anything.

00:14:54.000 Who would do something?

00:14:56.000 Twitter would do something.

00:14:57.000 Twitter is doing that something right now.

00:15:01.000 I gotta be careful because you're here.

00:15:06.000 You said that Jack Dorsey was trying to get with nature, okay?

00:15:09.000 Listen, that's a layup.

00:15:10.000 That's a layup for an analogy of him schtuping a moose.

00:15:13.000 And of course, we don't mean it.

00:15:15.000 That's a hard schtup.

00:15:17.000 Especially in Ruddington.

00:15:18.000 I mean, here's the thing.

00:15:20.000 The moose is an innocent victim in all of this, right?

00:15:22.000 Let's just be clear, okay?

00:15:24.000 I don't want to, you know, put consent on the moose when the moose is not consenting.

00:15:27.000 Meese can't consent. 0.96

00:15:27.000 No, exactly. 0.96

00:15:29.000 So what have you done since I pay you so much?

00:15:32.000 What have we done?

00:15:33.000 At this point, because it doesn't feel good for me.

00:15:36.000 Right.

00:15:36.000 So here's a couple of things.

00:15:37.000 So let's go back to the one that was three weeks ago, which feels like a million years ago at this point, where they actually shortened the ban after we sent a notice.

00:15:44.000 They didn't respond.

00:15:45.000 They didn't say, oh, actually, here's where you violated.

00:15:47.000 They didn't do any of that stuff.

00:15:48.000 They just said, oh, OK, we'll shorten the 12-hour ban.

00:15:52.000 Now this time around, we've sent multiple legal notices.

00:15:54.000 We've went through every platform of appeal that's available, right?

00:15:56.000 This is what they say.

00:15:57.000 They go, well, there's always a way to be able to appeal it within the system.

00:16:00.000 No, not actually true.

00:16:02.000 But we went through and we found other ways to be able to do it.

00:16:05.000 We've contacted their legal department directly.

00:16:07.000 We've contacted their trust and safety department actually directly.

00:16:10.000 And to this moment, until right before we're on air, still no response at all.

00:16:14.000 They haven't even given us the reason.

00:16:16.000 Right.

00:16:17.000 Bill, are they outsourcing to the same customer service team that Facebook uses?

00:16:17.000 At all.

00:16:21.000 Because they do the exact same things.

00:16:23.000 They just don't get back with you.

00:16:24.000 They don't give you reasons for suspension.

00:16:26.000 It might be.

00:16:27.000 I mean, it could be a call center in Omaha.

00:16:29.000 It could be a call center in Calcutta.

00:16:31.000 Nobody knows where they're actually subbing these out.

00:16:33.000 It's like all big tech.

00:16:34.000 Right.

00:16:35.000 Exactly.

00:16:36.000 And every time they do one of these things they go, well you know a sub of a sub of a subcontractor gave it to his cousin's dog and like he hit the wrong button.

00:16:44.000 Right?

00:16:44.000 But they did this same thing with a sitting president.

00:16:46.000 They've done this thing across the board.

00:16:48.000 They've had multiple instances of their inability to handle the kind of issues that are endemic to having a large platform.

00:16:55.000 Essentially what they're proving day in and day out is that they can't uphold their own policies at scale.

00:17:01.000 Which means if they can't Hold the power responsibly.

00:17:04.000 They can't have the power.

00:17:05.000 They need to be held responsible.

00:17:06.000 This kind of bad faith action is exactly what isn't protected by Section 230.

00:17:10.000 Hey, hey, can I say something?

00:17:13.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:17:14.000 What, five days ago we got Halls Twins TV, right?

00:17:17.000 We got this long email.

00:17:19.000 Pretty much they were saying we're inciting violence.

00:17:21.000 Why would you do that?

00:17:23.000 I don't know.

00:17:24.000 It's terrible.

00:17:25.000 Our Hodge Twins TV is gone.

00:17:27.000 They didn't tell us which video violated piloting, they just gave us this long list and never explained to us which video violated piloting.

00:17:27.000 Deleted.

00:17:34.000 Is this Vimeo?

00:17:35.000 No, this is Hodge Twins TV, Vimeo.

00:17:36.000 It was a pay-per-view channel on Vimeo.

00:17:38.000 Vimeo? 0.78

00:17:39.000 Well, leave it to, you know, it's the stereotype of the angry black man.

00:17:42.000 They're still, it takes a while for them to be deprogrammed, even at Vimeo!

00:17:46.000 Yeah.

00:17:47.000 They wouldn't hurt a fly.

00:17:48.000 Unless it was one of those albino flies.

00:17:51.000 A rooftop Korean.

00:17:52.000 See what happens?

00:17:53.000 Yeah.

00:17:54.000 That's dangerous.

00:17:54.000 Yeah, and they won't tell us exactly what we did.

00:17:57.000 They just said, you're bad people.

00:18:00.000 Well, listen, don't give them an argument.

00:18:04.000 I wouldn't use your defense.

00:18:05.000 No.

00:18:06.000 Right, right, right.

00:18:09.000 What is the 230 thing?

00:18:10.000 This is the thing, look, because you have all these conservatives who they live for just, they just want to be like, look, I was banned.

00:18:16.000 I've not been banned.

00:18:17.000 I've been suspended.

00:18:17.000 And we've obviously, we've had people who've committed actual slander, libel on Twitter with people photoshopping swastikas, accusing me of everything under the sun, right?

00:18:26.000 And nothing gets done or it doesn't get done for a long time.

00:18:28.000 And then you get locked out.

00:18:30.000 I get locked out.

00:18:31.000 I want to know what the rules are.

00:18:33.000 Like with YouTube, for example, we said, okay, what are the rules?

00:18:35.000 and the rules aren't what we initially thought the rules to be because then they created

00:18:38.000 two, three, four sets of guidelines. Now YouTube has community guideline violations, they have

00:18:42.000 advertiser-friendly guidelines, and then they have borderline content. Well, who determines

00:18:46.000 that? Nobody really knows. It's not really told. But at least they have some kind of

00:18:49.000 a vague page, and they do answer. There is an appeal process. I would say this with YouTube

00:18:53.000 with the appeal process. It sucks when they're like, no, this is hate speech, but they tell

00:18:57.000 you. Twitter doesn't give any kind of a reason. So my point is, look, with this, if they can

00:19:02.000 do it to someone like me, and I don't want to, but I'm not going to self-censor to the

00:19:07.000 point of being dishonest on Twitter. And so if I end up losing it because I say, look,

00:19:13.000 happy International Women's Day, I'm celebrating the brave and beautiful trans women of Saudi

00:19:16.000 Arabia. If that's the reason, then they should take it up with Saudi Arabia, who, by the 0.99

00:19:21.000 way, Twitter bans my tweets in Saudi Arabia sometimes because it offends the Islamic sensibility.

00:19:27.000 We're at least at 25 different countries that Twitter has somehow found a way to actively and instantly determine whether or not it's violating those countries' laws.

00:19:44.000 But yet they cannot figure out a way to let an American citizen for an American company know What was the post that created an alleged violation or even what the reason was?

00:19:55.000 This is what I'm saying over and over again is that these companies have developed and created for themselves so much power that they're unable to actually exercise it in good faith.

00:20:05.000 They simply can't.

00:20:06.000 They can't even enforce their own rules or not enforce them in the right way.

00:20:10.000 They've entrusted it to AI, to robots, to subcontractors, every instance.

00:20:14.000 And this isn't just conservatives.

00:20:15.000 This is happening to people across the board.

00:20:17.000 And yet nothing is being done to actually curb that, whether in Congress, certainly not happening under this administration, but also the question of the courts.

00:20:24.000 And if someone's going to have to step up, we're doing that action as well.

00:20:28.000 But Twitter itself is now one of the ones that is the most egregious on this front, and I don't think Jack Dorsey in Hiawaska is going to do anything about it.

00:20:34.000 Well, it depends.

00:20:35.000 That moose might have some leverage.

00:20:39.000 Hey, look at this picture of you mounting me!

00:20:41.000 It's the same evidence I've always had!

00:20:46.000 I just tweaked it a little!

00:20:48.000 Uh, here's the thing.

00:20:50.000 What can be done for people who are old enough to watch Rocky and Bullwinkle?

00:20:53.000 Yeah, well, yeah.

00:20:53.000 Yeah, it's a classic.

00:20:54.000 By the way, Rocky was... Rocky was... Yeah.

00:20:58.000 Oh, Bullwinkle! 0.99

00:20:59.000 You shouldn't look at that lady in that dress! 1.00

00:21:02.000 Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho! 1.00

00:21:03.000 I have rock-hard antlers, Rocky!

00:21:06.000 And then Boris and Natasha, the commies coming in, tying people to train tracks.

00:21:10.000 That wasn't some sick role-playing.

00:21:12.000 Classic.

00:21:13.000 Done they do right.

00:21:14.000 You've been a mountie for 12 years.

00:21:18.000 You don't know how to get on a horse not backwards? 1.00

00:21:20.000 It's difficult. 0.99

00:21:23.000 I'm retarded now!

00:21:24.000 So the best way, really?

00:21:26.000 The best way at this point is you've got to vote with your clicks.

00:21:29.000 Your tweets, everything else like that.

00:21:31.000 Whether you're sending a message, it's continuing to share stuff that they don't want to be shared, share it as much as you can.

00:21:37.000 Go ahead and like those folks who are doing it, or go find them on other platforms.

00:21:40.000 I mean, just the simple existence of Mug Club or other platforms that are making this happen, whether it's Parler, your Rumbles, your other things like that, they're where the advertisers are going, wait a minute, this is not an effective strategy.

00:21:50.000 The only thing that apparently matters to them is their pocketbook.

00:21:53.000 That's the only thing they're going to listen to, and we can affect it.

00:21:55.000 Every one little tweet, maybe not by itself, but all of them together.

00:21:59.000 So, while we're taking the fight on the legal side, folks can take that side, whether they're sitting at home, whether they're in their grandma's basement, whether they're at the bus station.

00:22:06.000 It doesn't matter.

00:22:06.000 You can get on those apps and make your voice heard.

00:22:08.000 Well, I think it's important, too, for everyone out there to understand Section 230.

00:22:11.000 It was very interesting.

00:22:11.000 Twitter sued Texas AG Paxton.

00:22:15.000 And they said that AG Paxton was leveraging them to try and infringe on their exact words, editorial decisions regarding what is on... Editorial!

00:22:24.000 They used the word editorial!

00:22:25.000 So my question is at that point, how does that, how do we juxtapose that with 230?

00:22:29.000 Explain to people, I know we've described this ad nauseam, but the reason that these platforms are not held liable at all.

00:22:35.000 It's because of 230, which, if the New York Times, for example, just puts up something, they're held responsible.

00:22:41.000 That's slander.

00:22:42.000 Like if it says, like, hey, Gerald, you know, Gerald beat me up in a bathroom stall with George Michael, right?

00:22:48.000 If someone at the New York Times writes that, they can be held responsible.

00:22:51.000 If someone puts it up on Twitter, well, they're not held responsible at all because of Section 230, but then they, in their own lawsuit, say, well, no one can infringe on our editorial guidelines, and it's all opaque.

00:23:02.000 Well, it's one of the best analogies is, are you going to hold AT&T liable if a criminal decides to call on a cell phone that goes across an AT&T line, right?

00:23:09.000 You're going to say, no, this is utility just because the city provided water.

00:23:12.000 Was the city now liable for the fact that that water was used to make the best meth in the country?

00:23:16.000 No, not at all.

00:23:17.000 So, what we're looking at now is the question of, are you more like... There's a reason that Great Lakes still has the crown for meth.

00:23:25.000 Great Lakes Water Meth!

00:23:28.000 The pH is on point.

00:23:30.000 But what are they now closer to?

00:23:32.000 Does AT&T, does the water company, do they exercise editorial functions?

00:23:37.000 Do they selectively decide on a guideline basis who are going to be their customers?

00:23:41.000 No.

00:23:41.000 You sign up, you pay the bill, you're in.

00:23:44.000 But when you look at the New York Times, they look, they edit, they decide, they cut, they have guidelines for what they're going to put on there.

00:23:52.000 They have whole teams that are doing that.

00:23:54.000 And that's when you now look at what is more of these platforms.

00:23:57.000 What are they more like?

00:23:58.000 Are they more like the utility that's letting anyone go, say anything they want, and we're just providing the vehicle for it?

00:24:04.000 Or are you coming in and actually exercising editorial function?

00:24:08.000 Use their own words exactly like you said.

00:24:10.000 This again isn't about we're telling you how to run your business.

00:24:13.000 This isn't saying the government should come in and run your business.

00:24:16.000 It's run your business in an honest way.

00:24:18.000 And if you were honestly editing, you're honestly held liable for it.

00:24:22.000 Right, exactly.

00:24:23.000 Now look, I don't want to...

00:24:24.000 And Gerald, you have a question?

00:24:25.000 Yeah, well the analogy actually gets worse, Steven, like you said with the New York Times.

00:24:28.000 With the moose?

00:24:29.000 It gets even worse!

00:24:30.000 So it's like the New York Times putting out that story and then blocking my account, the

00:24:35.000 Twitter blocking my account and saying you can't...

00:24:38.000 That's what happens.

00:24:40.000 And they can just... Wait, wait, wait!

00:24:42.000 Twitter blocks your account?

00:24:44.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:24:44.000 I'm saying... It would be like that.

00:24:48.000 We always get screwed. 0.98

00:24:51.000 I would believe it. 0.95

00:24:52.000 I would believe it if they blocked your account.

00:24:54.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:24:55.000 I'm saying that's what it would be like.

00:24:56.000 It's like the New York Times tweeting out a story about me that's false that I should be able to sue them over and then Twitter locking me out of my account so that I can't defend myself.

00:25:03.000 Right.

00:25:03.000 Right?

00:25:04.000 That's exactly what it's like.

00:25:05.000 That's what Twitter is doing when they block people for, oh, 12 hours.

00:25:08.000 Oh, it's just a couple of days.

00:25:09.000 Oh, we'll fix the problem.

00:25:10.000 No!

00:25:10.000 This is strategic.

00:25:11.000 You're doing this stuff on purpose.

00:25:13.000 Yeah.

00:25:14.000 Or at least it's very coincidental.

00:25:15.000 Look, Half-Asian Bill, I know you have to get going. 1.00

00:25:17.000 My final question here is, look, I don't want to, because... Please join Mug Club. 0.98

00:25:21.000 I don't have...

00:25:24.000 We don't like getting banned.

00:25:25.000 I don't want to have to sue Twitter.

00:25:27.000 We're doing the Facebook lawsuit, which I know we can't do.

00:25:31.000 We can't give you a bunch of updates right now, but the wheels are in motion!

00:25:36.000 What do we do with Twitter?

00:25:37.000 Twitter?

00:25:38.000 What are we gonna, what's on, is everything on the table?

00:25:41.000 So everything's on the table.

00:25:43.000 All of the options are available.

00:25:45.000 But this is, this is, I will tell you, and most good lawyers will admit that the legal

00:25:49.000 system should be the last resort.

00:25:51.000 And unfortunately Twitter is essentially pushing us to say you better go to the last resort.

00:25:55.000 Because Congress isn't doing anything.

00:25:57.000 The President's not doing anything.

00:25:58.000 Not gonna do anything.

00:25:59.000 The Vice President, who's really in power, isn't gonna do anything.

00:26:02.000 The state legislatures may.

00:26:03.000 They're trying.

00:26:04.000 You still look at these various states that are trying to enact legislation to try and do something about it.

00:26:09.000 Thank God that they're doing that.

00:26:10.000 But really, ultimately, we're gonna have to figure out all the ways we can do it.

00:26:13.000 Speaking of, I'm gonna get out of here to go work on it.

00:26:15.000 I gotta go suit up.

00:26:16.000 Go suit up!

00:26:16.000 Do it!

00:26:17.000 Thank you, have a... I have music in my ears.

00:26:23.000 You know what, I will... Sorry, I need to readjust it for... Is he going to... Oh, he's going to... Okay, sorry, he's got to go suit up.

00:26:29.000 Yeah, okay. Gotcha.

00:26:31.000 Hey, Bill, what's going on?

00:26:37.000 You just told Steven you're going to suit up.

00:26:40.000 You already had a suit on for the whole show.

00:26:43.000 Yeah.

00:26:45.000 When you're in a battle with big tech, you've got to have the best protection out there.

00:27:19.000 You almost can't even tell.

00:27:20.000 Proof.

00:27:20.000 That's 44?

00:27:21.000 Yeah.

00:27:21.000 And people don't even know that I've worn, sometimes I wear it and you can't even see it.

00:27:25.000 People just say, damn, he looks jacked. 0.97

00:27:27.000 It's like, no, it's a Spartan Armor underneath my shirt. 0.99

00:27:29.000 Why do you sleep in it, though?

00:27:30.000 That's odd.

00:27:31.000 That's because I find the feeling of Kevlar against my skin incredibly erotic.

00:27:35.000 It's like Jack Dorsey with moose fur.

00:27:37.000 Do you guys have any body armor stuff?

00:27:40.000 Nah.

00:27:41.000 We can send you some.

00:27:42.000 Yeah, I'd love to have some.

00:27:43.000 Yeah, especially.

00:27:43.000 You guys know the riots?

00:27:44.000 You guys need it.

00:27:47.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:27:48.000 Listen, I don't understand how some legislative bodies want to ban something that's defensive.

00:27:53.000 Yeah.

00:27:54.000 They don't want to ban that?

00:27:55.000 Oh yeah, it's been banned in many places.

00:27:57.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:27:58.000 For what?

00:27:59.000 Defending yourself.

00:28:00.000 It's scarce.

00:28:01.000 When they see you walking around with this, you must be up to no good.

00:28:04.000 Yeah, I think their argument is that it makes you more capable of inflicting damage without receiving it.

00:28:12.000 I think that's their argument.

00:28:14.000 So it needs to be like a gentleman's duel.

00:28:16.000 Each person can die.

00:28:17.000 Right.

00:28:18.000 With the cops, who you shouldn't trust, but you should call because you're not allowed a gun when someone is raping you.

00:28:23.000 That's difficult, let's see.

00:28:24.000 And they also get the vests.

00:28:25.000 By the way, police response times vary across the country.

00:28:30.000 But one of the best police response times that I know of was in El Segundo, California when I lived there.

00:28:34.000 And it was like a minute and a half.

00:28:35.000 Which sounds really good. 0.81

00:28:37.000 Little known fact, when you're being raped brutally and repeatedly, a minute and a half feels like a lifetime. 0.70

00:28:44.000 An eternity.

00:28:45.000 That is a long minute and a half.

00:28:48.000 SpartanArmorSystems.com, enter the promo code Crowder.

00:28:52.000 This is another story here, the head of border security, before we get to Rand Paul.

00:28:56.000 And again, people on Mug Club, send in your questions.

00:28:58.000 Why are you kicking your brother in the head?

00:28:59.000 What's going on? 0.87

00:29:00.000 He just told me to wake up.

00:29:01.000 Yeah, I asked you when you came in if you needed some caffeine.

00:29:05.000 I'm awake.

00:29:05.000 And you said you'd prefer some crack.

00:29:06.000 I've got some Coke over here.

00:29:08.000 Whoa, whoa.

00:29:09.000 No, come on. 0.85

00:29:09.000 I've got some Coke. 0.85

00:29:11.000 No, no.

00:29:12.000 We do math.

00:29:13.000 You guys do crack.

00:29:15.000 And then we all do heroin. 0.95

00:29:16.000 I want the white man stuff. 0.95

00:29:18.000 I want the good stuff. 0.96

00:29:18.000 I want the cocaine. 0.96

00:29:19.000 I want no damn crack. 0.99

00:29:21.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no. 0.98

00:29:23.000 Meth is not the good stuff.

00:29:24.000 It's not cleaner than crack. 0.98

00:29:25.000 It's just that the poor white man is more responsible with his money. 0.78

00:29:29.000 Well, he doesn't care about his teeth very much. 0.66

00:29:31.000 Doesn't care about his teeth at all.

00:29:32.000 Yeah, no, exactly.

00:29:34.000 Very English of you.

00:29:35.000 Weston Price.

00:29:35.000 So, Trump to Biden has been trending everywhere, and we want to get to Whitmer in a second, then Rand Paul, which I'm really looking forward to, but the head of border security, is the head of border security, I don't know,

00:29:47.000 Roberta Jackson, I see this person all the time, claimed that the border crisis is 0.87

00:29:51.000 because of Trump's lack of humanity, which was discouraging people from coming,

00:29:56.000 which by the way, listen, before I even get to the next part, I'm okay with.

00:30:01.000 Um...

00:30:02.000 And then, later in the clip though, she went on to admit that it actually was Biden's fault.

00:30:08.000 And I know you think that I'm making this up, so I have the clip right now of Roberta Jackson sandwiched together.

00:30:14.000 It's a coincidence that as soon as Trump and his immigration policy were on the way out, and Biden and his stated policy were on the way in, this historic surge at the border started.

00:30:26.000 Well, first of all, one of the things I think is important is we've seen surges before.

00:30:31.000 Surges tend to respond to hope.

00:30:35.000 there was a significant what for a more humane policy after Four years of you know pent-up demand, so I don't know

00:30:45.000 whether I would call that a coincidence But I certainly think that the idea that a more humane

00:30:51.000 policy would be in place may have Driven people to make that decision, but perhaps more

00:30:58.000 importantly it definitely drove smugglers to Express information to spread disinformation

00:31:06.000 That's the moment where she realized she screwed up.

00:31:09.000 I think it's a reflection of how migrants feel at a particular time.

00:31:21.000 Have you seen that lady, by the way?

00:31:22.000 That's unfortunate.

00:31:23.000 You know what?

00:31:23.000 I've watched, and I don't always watch the clips, I read a lot of the time, so sometimes I don't see the clips of these people, but that's Roberta Jackson, right?

00:31:31.000 Oh, it's actually Jacobson.

00:31:33.000 That was a typo.

00:31:34.000 Oh, it's Jacobson!

00:31:35.000 Not Jackson.

00:31:35.000 Sorry.

00:31:35.000 That's right.

00:31:36.000 Why was I saying Jackson?

00:31:36.000 That was me.

00:31:37.000 I don't know.

00:31:37.000 I got two black guys here.

00:31:38.000 Jackson's a common name. 0.98

00:31:39.000 Stop it! 0.99

00:31:40.000 Easy to mix it up.

00:31:41.000 It's not even a joke.

00:31:42.000 Didn't we, uh, didn't I pick out an old lineman in Stephen Knows Sports?

00:31:45.000 You did.

00:31:46.000 By just saying... Jackson.

00:31:47.000 I don't, I said, uh, uh, Marcus Jackson.

00:31:50.000 Named me one o-line in the NFL, and I said, let me pick the name of a large, 350-pound black man with an under 5'40", and Marcus Jackson is actually a person.

00:32:01.000 So that's what I was thinking of.

00:32:01.000 Unbelievable.

00:32:02.000 It's not racist.

00:32:05.000 How'd it work with Tyrone Jackson?

00:32:06.000 Well, you did it with a soccer player, too, right?

00:32:08.000 With Silva.

00:32:09.000 Yeah, Silva.

00:32:11.000 But no, that was so... I just watched that clip for the first time, and I realized, you know, it's unfortunate, but I did recognize her from somewhere.

00:32:11.000 Thiago Silva.

00:32:20.000 You know, thankfully we're in a good position still, fiscally speaking.

00:32:23.000 Oh, good, geez. Turkey action.

00:32:27.000 So this is what's great about this, by the way. And this is a, you know what,

00:32:34.000 comment. Question, another question of the day, of course, is George Floyd Jesus Christ.

00:32:38.000 Maintain that.

00:32:38.000 Yeah.

00:32:39.000 But another one here is, let's say, because Donald Trump, when they say was a lack of compassion, but what's the lack of compassion?

00:32:46.000 It's people, it's referring to these countries, for example, as shithole countries, right?

00:32:52.000 That was considered racist, but then we say, look, there's this pent-up demand.

00:32:55.000 Hold on a second.

00:32:55.000 Wait, wait, wait, wait, Jacobson.

00:32:57.000 Pent-up demand?

00:32:58.000 Pent-up demand from what? 0.55

00:33:00.000 Why would there be pent-up demand if they don't live in shithole countries, right?

00:33:03.000 There would be no pent-up demand to leave them. 0.88

00:33:04.000 So they said, okay, that's racist.

00:33:05.000 And then Donald Trump said, well, look, you're saying they're not shithole countries. 0.76

00:33:08.000 Let's send them back.

00:33:09.000 Let's not allow them to come in here in record numbers.

00:33:11.000 What's a lack of compassion?

00:33:12.000 Putting up a border wall?

00:33:14.000 Enforcing our own immigration laws? 0.95

00:33:15.000 Like every other country?

00:33:17.000 You want to find out who's really nationalistic and racist?

00:33:20.000 Go down to Mexico, ask them how they feel about Hondurans and El Salvadorians.

00:33:24.000 Can we build a wall?

00:33:25.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:33:27.000 Did you build a wall? 1.00

00:33:28.000 We don't have money, we shoot them. 0.99

00:33:32.000 Sometimes we just put we put landmines on the road so we blow them up in their van 0.93

00:33:37.000 Since when were you supposed to give people breaking the law hope

00:33:47.000 When was that?

00:33:47.000 Yeah.

00:33:47.000 You see El Chapo, I see hope.

00:33:50.000 It's like bank robbers going in and there's a lot of bank robberies now and oh well that's actually because we removed all of the security features and I guess it gave them hope that they would make it out alive with money.

00:33:50.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:33:59.000 Yeah, back to you.

00:34:00.000 Give me your insurance register!

00:34:04.000 Alright.

00:34:05.000 He thinks me seeing a dreamer over there. 0.95

00:34:09.000 You little rascal. 1.00

00:34:10.000 You hopeful little bitch. 1.00

00:34:12.000 Got a bright future. 1.00

00:34:13.000 I'm just so, I'm just so fed up with this.

00:34:15.000 I think it's hope and humanity.

00:34:16.000 Really?

00:34:17.000 Okay.

00:34:17.000 So what's the hope now?

00:34:18.000 The hope, and by the way, you're putting more people in cages.

00:34:21.000 Record numbers.

00:34:23.000 Unbelievable.

00:34:23.000 I saw that.

00:34:25.000 I don't know when it became considered racist.

00:34:28.000 When it became considered inhumane to simply send people back.

00:34:32.000 Disney El Paso, Steve.

00:34:33.000 To their non-shithole country! 0.97

00:34:34.000 To their wonderful country, which, by the way, sees the same record number of would-be migrants to places like Mexico, because it's a shining beacon of hope for all to see!

00:34:44.000 You know what, Steven?

00:34:45.000 It's beautiful.

00:34:46.000 We had a show in the United Kingdom.

00:34:47.000 We was on immigration hold for two hours.

00:34:50.000 They put us in cages and everything, right?

00:34:52.000 Well, rightfully so.

00:34:52.000 We actually had to pay like $1,800-some-odd.

00:34:55.000 We had two show schedules.

00:34:56.000 Yeah.

00:34:57.000 Sold out!

00:34:58.000 I was coming from the United States. 0.99

00:34:59.000 The United States is not a shithole.

00:35:01.000 We went there and they said we didn't have the right visa.

00:35:04.000 Detroit.

00:35:05.000 So they said you needed a visa.

00:35:07.000 Yeah, our visa wasn't correct.

00:35:08.000 We had to pay $1,800 just to be able to stay to do our shows.

00:35:12.000 Even though we were sitting beside each other, we couldn't talk to each other.

00:35:14.000 Really?

00:35:16.000 What?

00:35:16.000 How did they make that happen?

00:35:18.000 I don't know.

00:35:18.000 Did they put like glass up between you two?

00:35:20.000 No, we were just sitting there looking at each other like...

00:35:22.000 Okay, he's not looking.

00:35:24.000 What are we going to do?

00:35:25.000 What, did they think you guys were Islamic?

00:35:28.000 Did you have the beard?

00:35:29.000 They knew who we were.

00:35:30.000 They said they were fans.

00:35:33.000 They said that we were going to stay in that country and get on welfare. 0.86

00:35:36.000 I was like, you people are so racist.

00:35:38.000 Did they say that really?

00:35:39.000 Yeah.

00:35:40.000 We had to sign documents saying we were not going to stay and get on that welfare.

00:35:45.000 Listen, you're welcome to stay in our country, love, so long as you don't marry into the royal family.

00:35:48.000 And please, let's just say we're not speaking with each other.

00:35:51.000 We don't need any chance of Allah.

00:35:52.000 By the way, Mecca's that way. 0.99

00:35:55.000 We don't need any black babies in this royal family. 1.00

00:35:58.000 Aren't you a gorgeous bit of dark chocolate? 0.99

00:36:02.000 You little Cadbury eggs! 1.00

00:36:04.000 I experienced that crap in Canada, too. 1.00

00:36:06.000 You people don't realize this in Canada, in Quebec, they're racist. 1.00

00:36:08.000 Whoa, you people. 0.99

00:36:09.000 They're very racist. 0.99

00:36:10.000 We don't have as many blacks. 1.00

00:36:12.000 I experienced that crap in Canada too. 1.00

00:36:16.000 You people don't realize this in Canada, in Quebec, they're racist. 1.00

00:36:19.000 Whoa, you people. 0.99

00:36:20.000 They're very racist. 0.99

00:36:21.000 You people.

00:36:22.000 What do you mean by you people?

00:36:24.000 Did I just say you people? 0.55

00:36:25.000 I meant black people. 0.79

00:36:28.000 No, no. 0.95

00:36:28.000 With French Canadians, you people. 0.95

00:36:31.000 So they are racist with black people. 0.99

00:36:33.000 With all black people. 0.99

00:36:34.000 I am trying to say French Canadians are often very racist. 1.00

00:36:36.000 Now they're not racist in the sense that they hate black people. 0.99

00:36:39.000 They're just racist in the sense that it's okay to stereotype. 0.98

00:36:42.000 So they'll be like, you'll be sitting, you'll be talking with them, and I'm like, hey man, you Americans, you're so racist, that's the problem. 0.96

00:36:47.000 You're like, yeah, yeah, no, listen, I think that's horrible.

00:36:51.000 It's wrong to hate, you know, everybody as to be equal, yep, yep. 1.00

00:36:55.000 And blacks are lazy as fuck, man. 1.00

00:36:58.000 I'm like writing the next sentence. 1.00

00:37:00.000 I swear to you.

00:37:01.000 So there's the Ligue des Langues, I think is what it's called.

00:37:04.000 People can fact check me.

00:37:05.000 We have some Montreal fans there who want to get out.

00:37:07.000 Sorry, I can't get you all on work visas.

00:37:09.000 But no caravan can come from there.

00:37:11.000 So they have the language police in Canada.

00:37:13.000 People don't understand this.

00:37:14.000 When people talk about discrimination in the United States, I say, well, you know, I've faced some systemic discrimination in Canada.

00:37:18.000 They go, what do you mean?

00:37:19.000 I go, it's a French province in an English country where I was forced to go to French schools.

00:37:19.000 You're white.

00:37:24.000 Just because my mom was born in Quebec.

00:37:25.000 If you have one parent born in Quebec, you have to go to French school.

00:37:28.000 They thought I was learning disabled until, through a loophole, I was allowed to learn geography and math in English.

00:37:34.000 If I wanted to open Stephen's Diner, apostrophe S, I would be fined out of existence because it's not French, right? 1.00

00:37:34.000 Thank goodness. 1.00

00:37:40.000 So they call this thing Pure Laine, is the term.

00:37:42.000 That literally translates to pure wool.

00:37:45.000 Purity test.

00:37:46.000 Racial purity, where they only want pure, European, blooded French people. 0.86

00:37:51.000 Sounds like Nazi Germany.

00:37:52.000 Well, it's not.

00:37:53.000 It's not.

00:37:54.000 You know, the worst is you get some looks and someone with a rat tail, you know, telling you to get out, man.

00:37:59.000 Go up there to Gaspé with the moose and Jack Dorsey, okay?

00:38:03.000 We know you're gonna have a spit roast, you two.

00:38:08.000 Then, what happened is, they created this because they were trying to expel all the English people from Quebec.

00:38:13.000 And so, a bunch of Haitian people started migrating to Quebec because they're French.

00:38:16.000 And they're like, oh, yes!

00:38:17.000 No, man, we can't have that! 0.84

00:38:20.000 So then they started trying to get rid of the Haitians. 0.94

00:38:22.000 There goes the neighborhood Haitians. 1.00

00:38:24.000 Oh, hell. 1.00

00:38:25.000 Man, I don't want people from, how you call it, that shit-hole country. 1.00

00:38:28.000 No, no, no, no, no. 1.00

00:38:30.000 We don't want that.

00:38:32.000 They're just seeking asylum.

00:38:34.000 Yeah.

00:38:34.000 Yeah, dreamers.

00:38:35.000 Hey, yeah, you two, hey, me, you come here, me too, I'll seek asylum because all the Haitian darky gonna make me crazy, man. 1.00

00:38:45.000 And they don't realize it's racist. 0.96

00:38:46.000 Yeah.

00:38:47.000 Anyway, speaking of this right now, the disaster at the border, Trump responded.

00:38:53.000 I miss that man already.

00:38:54.000 This is his response yesterday.

00:38:58.000 When is Senator Rand Paul going to be coming out?

00:39:00.000 It's got to be soon, right?

00:39:01.000 Yeah, in about 20 minutes.

00:39:02.000 Oh, 20 minutes.

00:39:03.000 Okay, good.

00:39:03.000 So we can do our Whitmer segment.

00:39:04.000 And by the way, send in your questions for Rand Paul.

00:39:07.000 So yesterday, President Trump released this.

00:39:11.000 I hope everyone remembers when they're getting the COVID-19, parentheses, often referred to as the Chinese virus vaccine, that if I wasn't president, you wouldn't be getting that beautiful shot for five years.

00:39:30.000 That wonderful hole-in-one shot.

00:39:33.000 So good.

00:39:33.000 At best.

00:39:34.000 And probably wouldn't be getting it at all.

00:39:36.000 I hope everyone remembers.

00:39:39.000 And you know what?

00:39:39.000 Here's the thing.

00:39:41.000 He's not... He's not wrong.

00:39:43.000 Is this- are we- can we go back?

00:39:45.000 Oh.

00:39:47.000 I never go back!

00:39:53.000 What- is that- what is that- That's Troy Jr.

00:39:56.000 What is he saying?

00:39:56.000 He'll never go back?

00:39:58.000 Where?

00:39:58.000 I don't know what he's talking about.

00:40:00.000 Can we do a research on that?

00:40:01.000 I think we got some right here.

00:40:04.000 Oh, yeah.

00:40:05.000 We need to be better about our background checks here at the office.

00:40:08.000 Those are some good tats.

00:40:09.000 Why did the Hodge twins get a background check and not Troy Jr.?

00:40:12.000 Because he's Asian.

00:40:15.000 For obvious reasons.

00:40:17.000 He seemed like a nice kid.

00:40:18.000 But Donald Trump's not wrong.

00:40:20.000 Think about this for a second.

00:40:21.000 Joe Biden, every Democrat opposed Operation Warp Speed, and that's why I'm not anti-vax.

00:40:25.000 People say you're anti-vax.

00:40:26.000 Look, I'm not anti-vax at all, and I'm not even anti this vaccine.

00:40:31.000 I know some of them have used apparently embryonic stem cells to be developed, and in which case, morally, ethically, I'm against that kind of medical experimentation, because you can use adult stem cells, right?

00:40:43.000 I just have weighed the risk-rewards for someone like myself, where the side effects are ironically, in some of the vaccines, worse for someone who's young and healthy, worse in some cases than the virus itself, and I think that older people who are susceptible, like I've always said, we should be quarantining them, we should be locking them in Buffalo Bill's basement, all old people, out of humanity and compassion, they should get the vaccines first. 1.00

00:41:04.000 That's all it is.

00:41:05.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:41:06.000 And you remember everybody who came out when Donald Trump said, yeah, we're going to have this in, what, October, November or something like that.

00:41:11.000 They said, no way.

00:41:12.000 Maybe before the election.

00:41:12.000 They said, no way.

00:41:13.000 And they also said, Kamala Harris, I believe we've covered it several times, saying, I'm not going to take Donald Trump's vaccine.

00:41:18.000 Like, he was, you know, pouring beakers into each other in his basement, writing these things.

00:41:21.000 He was breaking Trump.

00:41:22.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:41:22.000 He's just reminding people.

00:41:23.000 And by the way, I think we've stumbled onto a fun character.

00:41:25.000 You started out in, like, a Jack Black slash Donald Trump voice.

00:41:29.000 Yeah.

00:41:29.000 It could be kind of fun.

00:41:30.000 It could be interesting.

00:41:32.000 Listen, buddy, I'm gonna play him in the biopic.

00:41:34.000 Biopic.

00:41:35.000 My pecs get in here!

00:41:41.000 Um, so, yeah, no, this is remarkable, but again, this would not happen if not for Operation

00:41:46.000 Warp Speed.

00:41:48.000 Let's just look at this really logically.

00:41:49.000 Let's be reductive.

00:41:50.000 That's reductive.

00:41:51.000 Just like I said about women can't do pull-ups, they shouldn't be on the front lines, I'm okay with it. 1.00

00:41:54.000 So, let's be reductive with this.

00:41:56.000 Operation Warp Speed meant removing government bureaucracy, red tape, allowing more medical developments to happen at warp speed.

00:42:02.000 So, who typically supports Deregulation, removal of red tape, while allowing personal accountability, holding companies responsible, as opposed to having the FDA put a vaccine on the shelf for nine years because it might give you a slight tummy ache.

00:42:15.000 Giving the right to the consumer and a speedier path to market.

00:42:20.000 Does that sound like...

00:42:21.000 Conservative idea?

00:42:22.000 Or does that sound like Joe Biden's idea?

00:42:25.000 There's a reason Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Cuomo said they wouldn't trust the vaccine.

00:42:28.000 And by the way, now they want you to all take it immediately.

00:42:31.000 And again, I just want people to be able to take the vaccine if they want it.

00:42:34.000 Yeah.

00:42:34.000 And if you're confused as to who does this better, just point to any other vaccine in history that's been developed and rolled out in less than a year.

00:42:41.000 Just point to one.

00:42:42.000 Right?

00:42:42.000 Yeah.

00:42:43.000 I have no idea.

00:42:43.000 I'll wait.

00:42:44.000 Is there one?

00:42:44.000 There's not.

00:42:45.000 Do you know how long it took to build the Empire State Building?

00:42:48.000 Do you guys know this?

00:42:49.000 Because you don't remember the World Trade Center, it took about 12 years for them to put something up?

00:42:53.000 After?

00:42:54.000 Empire State Building, 10 months.

00:42:56.000 Really?

00:42:56.000 Yeah, someone in the control room can find it there.

00:42:58.000 I might be off by a month or two, it was under a year.

00:43:02.000 Some people plummeted to their death with their lunchboxes.

00:43:06.000 It happens.

00:43:06.000 Before we thought safety first.

00:43:09.000 That's exactly what they thought.

00:43:11.000 Throw enough bodies at those 140-story steel beams, you get it done.

00:43:16.000 Who do you think hit first, a body or the lunchbox? 0.58

00:43:19.000 Well, I don't know.

00:43:19.000 Terminal velocity is reached at a certain point no matter what.

00:43:21.000 It just depends on how quickly they reach terminal velocity.

00:43:24.000 Is there a sandwich in the box or no?

00:43:26.000 I have no idea.

00:43:27.000 That's a good question.

00:43:27.000 Is there a drink in the box?

00:43:29.000 That's a lot of weight.

00:43:32.000 Either way, you have some time to think about it.

00:43:35.000 That's what I would hate the worst.

00:43:37.000 Yeah.

00:43:37.000 Just gotta think about it for you.

00:43:39.000 You have to inhale for your second scream.

00:43:41.000 You know what you need?

00:43:46.000 I should have conserved energy.

00:43:47.000 I've still got a while here.

00:43:48.000 Maybe I should take this time to tell people to put a rope on.

00:43:51.000 This doesn't keep happening.

00:43:53.000 It's a really good idea that we all have on the way down.

00:43:55.000 How about some carabiners?

00:43:56.000 You might as well have your lunch on the way down.

00:43:59.000 Yeah.

00:44:00.000 This is from the Empire State Building website.

00:44:02.000 It's a little bit more than 10 months, but it was just one year and 45 days.

00:44:07.000 One year and 45 days.

00:44:08.000 Alright.

00:44:09.000 That's pretty fast.

00:44:10.000 I think you guys are wrong.

00:44:11.000 I think I might have been the finishing touches.

00:44:12.000 Empire State's wrong?

00:44:13.000 I don't care about the crown molding in the Empire State Building.

00:44:15.000 That's true.

00:44:16.000 Could I walk through the building?

00:44:18.000 That's how long.

00:44:19.000 10 months.

00:44:19.000 Or could you fall from the very top?

00:44:21.000 Yeah.

00:44:21.000 Why do you... This is a dumb question.

00:44:24.000 Why do you think people scream when they fall from a tall building? 1.00

00:44:27.000 I would just be like...

00:44:28.000 Yeah.

00:44:29.000 I don't know.

00:44:30.000 I guess it like eased the anxiety.

00:44:32.000 It's something to do.

00:44:34.000 It just eased the anxiety of the whole issue, you know?

00:44:37.000 Yeah.

00:44:37.000 I'm not sure.

00:44:38.000 It doesn't sound very easing.

00:44:39.000 They don't look very calm.

00:44:41.000 It's releasing.

00:44:42.000 That's what it is.

00:44:42.000 What do you want them to do?

00:44:43.000 Sing a James Taylor song while they film?

00:44:46.000 The guy's probably complaining, my wife put mayonnaise again on the sandwich.

00:44:50.000 I can't believe it. 1.00

00:44:51.000 Damn it, Sally. 1.00

00:44:51.000 First bullet from the building and then this. 1.00

00:44:53.000 In my mind, I'm going to Carolina.

00:44:56.000 There you go.

00:44:57.000 Nope.

00:44:58.000 It's Carolina Street.

00:44:59.000 Still hurts!

00:45:02.000 James Taylor was wrong!

00:45:04.000 Um, alright.

00:45:06.000 Paulie... Cause I'm free!

00:45:10.000 Free falling! 1.00

00:45:15.000 Tom Petty was a dick, man. 1.00

00:45:16.000 So. 0.99

00:45:19.000 Speaking of Cuomo, by the way, let's go to Governor Whitmer.

00:45:21.000 Sometimes it does feel good to be a little... Actually, I don't want to say good to be vindicated, because this is horrible.

00:45:27.000 Seniors have died at record numbers there in Michigan.

00:45:29.000 Michigan is worse than New York, I believe, in a lot of ways.

00:45:31.000 Certainly in principle, and I'll get to that in a second.

00:45:33.000 But now that everyone's talking about Governor Cuomo, it has brought Governor Whitmer back into the spotlight.

00:45:38.000 And for people who don't remember, we've been covering this for a very long time.

00:45:41.000 This is what's so funny to me, when people have been saying, with Governor Cuomo, they've been going, how did this go on and nobody noticed?

00:45:48.000 Okay, people noticed you decided to ban the stories from social media.

00:45:52.000 Do you want to know why people didn't notice? 1.00

00:45:55.000 And by people, I mean you, you dumb son of a bitch. 0.99

00:45:57.000 The reason that you didn't notice, not our audience, but the rest of the audience, the rest of the people in America, the reason you didn't know is because of the same, for the same reasons that I've been suspended from Twitter for six days without any reason or cause. 1.00

00:46:09.000 The Hunter Biden story of him doing crack with his niece nude in a stand-up shower at the Andaz.

00:46:14.000 I don't know, I don't want to disperse the good reputation of the Andaz nice hotel, but the point is, remains, I'm creating a mental picture.

00:46:19.000 For the same reason that post was punted from social media, you never know about it because they control the flow of information.

00:46:25.000 People like me.

00:46:26.000 Us, people like Rush Limbaugh, God rest his soul, there were plenty of people covering the Cuomo situation.

00:46:32.000 There weren't so many people covering the Governor Whitmer situation, but that's just because not a lot of people had access to the information, and Michigan doesn't come to the front of your mind when you're thinking about major states with incredible corruption, so it's a state that's near and dear to my heart.

00:46:46.000 Born there, lived there for another seven years recently.

00:46:49.000 I love the state of Michigan, and I just hate the people.

00:46:49.000 I love it.

00:46:54.000 Not all the people, the ones who elected the lady whose stockings will undoubtedly roll up under a house.

00:47:03.000 So, on Monday, Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido, do I have that name right?

00:47:08.000 It's not Jacobson?

00:47:10.000 Peter Lucido announced that Governor Whitmer may be facing actual criminal charges.

00:47:17.000 If we find that there has been willful neglect of office, if we find that there's been reckless endangerment of a person's life by bringing him in, Then we would move forward with charges against the governor.

00:47:31.000 Of course we would.

00:47:32.000 Nobody's above the law in this state.

00:47:34.000 Especially not when Pugsley Adams enforcing it.

00:47:39.000 Pugsley Adams?

00:47:41.000 It's probably too white of a reference.

00:47:45.000 You know, you seem like more of a Munsters guy.

00:47:48.000 So Monday, also, Charles LaDuff filed the final complaint in the case against Whitmer.

00:47:54.000 Most people know about, obviously, Cuomo's nursing home scandal, right?

00:47:54.000 Here's the thing.

00:47:58.000 With even AOC calling for an investigation.

00:48:00.000 And if AOC calls for an investigation into a Democrat governor, he must be doing something really bad.

00:48:05.000 Okay, that's not as like a little bit like if AOC is polling everyone in the state party saying all right have

00:48:11.000 the tides Have the tides turned right let's investigate Cuomo

00:48:15.000 But a lot of people don't realize that Whitmer is actually a lot worse than Cuomo again in practice because her 0.81

00:48:21.000 policies Actually ended up putting not just not just returning old

00:48:26.000 people who were sick to old folks homes young people young sick people into old folks homes 0.87

00:48:32.000 Here's an episode that we did on it half a year ago This is the man who was beating an old person old folks

00:48:38.000 home in Michigan and more than half a year Okay, all right, that's enough horrible right yeah listen

00:48:51.000 That's it's still tough for me to watch today that guy that old man by the way that old man

00:48:54.000 Ended up starving himself to death. Yeah, he became depressed starved himself to death Pete

00:48:59.000 I remember when we first covered the story we didn't know that that was the reason that young man was in the nursing

00:49:04.000 home I thought it was a worker, somebody beating him up at some point.

00:49:07.000 Yeah, like a nurse or something.

00:49:07.000 But no, it was just a guy who had COVID that was put in that was a young guy.

00:49:10.000 And even his dad said, my son should not have been there.

00:49:10.000 Right.

00:49:13.000 He said, I don't know how many balls were dropped for this to happen.

00:49:15.000 My son should not have been there.

00:49:17.000 And while the media was ignoring Whitmer and fawning over Cuomo, we were the first ones to really sort of bring some national attention to it.

00:49:23.000 And by the way, this one is specifically for Michiganders out there.

00:49:27.000 Folks in Michigan, what do you think has happened to your state?

00:49:31.000 Honestly.

00:49:32.000 I mean, people think of the Midwest as the heartland of the country.

00:49:36.000 There's been no accountability for this broad.

00:49:39.000 Can I say that?

00:49:39.000 I think you can.

00:49:40.000 I mean it in disrespect.

00:49:43.000 Definitely.

00:49:44.000 We even went, and then hold that thought, but we even, so for people who don't remember, we went to Michigan and held a rally with thousands of people and that resulted in thousands of FOIA requests, which we'll come back to because that's relevant right now.

00:49:56.000 Let me say in no uncertain terms, Governor Whitmer Her policies have directly led to untold deaths of Michigan seniors, thousands, and you have been, at worst, deliberately misled.

00:50:10.000 And at best, Deliberately misled about those numbers.

00:50:14.000 Michigan's tracking, and it's the only state with these comparable states, doesn't include assisted living facilities, adult foster care facilities, or homes for the aged.

00:50:25.000 In Michigan, it's 34% coming exclusively from some nursing homes.

00:50:31.000 You know how many those are?

00:50:34.000 1,967 deaths coming from about 440.

00:50:38.000 How many currently active licensed facilities are there in Michigan?

00:50:42.000 Over 10 times that amount, folks!

00:50:44.000 I say this, President Trump, if you are watching, that I and the people of Michigan all would like to say in unison, Governor Whitmer, you want to conduct that investigation?

00:50:53.000 Donald Trump for mishandling COVID?

00:50:55.000 All right, sweetheart, you first!

00:50:57.000 Michigan, I love you!

00:50:57.000 God bless!

00:50:58.000 Let's make it happen!

00:50:59.000 And by the way, the only coverage of that was there were a couple hundred people who showed up and then did any of them try to kidnap Whitmer?

00:51:06.000 That was the only coverage.

00:51:07.000 So that's why you haven't heard about it.

00:51:09.000 And I've never done a rally like that, ever.

00:51:11.000 Again, I have a 97-year-old grandma in Michigan who's been directly affected by these policies.

00:51:15.000 Friends have been directly affected by these policies.

00:51:17.000 And by affected, I mean...

00:51:18.000 Dead.

00:51:19.000 So, uh, matters to me.

00:51:21.000 And I just, this is the problem with three, four companies controlling the town square.

00:51:27.000 People die.

00:51:28.000 Sure, I get banned because I, uh, point out the obvious fact that it's child abuse to put a four-year-old on puberty blockers. 0.99

00:51:34.000 You know, tomato, no dick.

00:51:37.000 But it can actually get to the point where information that could save people's lives doesn't get out, and so you have people, politicians, who are no longer accountable, and people die.

00:51:47.000 There was a bipartisan bill in Michigan, by the way, to put a stop to this, and she vetoed it.

00:51:51.000 Democrats and Republicans said, you've got to stop doing this.

00:51:54.000 No.

00:51:54.000 Under the guise of emergency powers.

00:51:56.000 Well you know the reason is because you care about the seniors that are actually affected by this and what it seems like Governor Whitmer cares about is her image.

00:52:03.000 Yes.

00:52:03.000 And what people think of the state of Michigan and her job of it because you know her star is rising or at least was before all of this happened.

00:52:09.000 But if you look at the numbers according to the CDC per 100,000 so per capita they're the 11th worst state right the country in vaccination and they're blaming the

00:52:18.000 former administration by the way

00:52:19.000 as at the time this article that we're gonna get to in just a second there were

00:52:22.000 seventy percent of the vaccines that were sent there were just sitting in hospital well yeah so let me so this

00:52:27.000 is what it so that was back then we're just talking about yes yes and by the way

00:52:30.000 can still go to a lot of credit comment slash Whitmer death toll so this

00:52:33.000 got trending the thousands of signs

00:52:35.000 put up in Michigan where you can submit your own FOIA request

00:52:38.000 right just to find out the actual death number because it's far higher than is

00:52:42.000 Way higher.

00:52:42.000 We know that it's way higher.

00:52:43.000 Governor Whitmer just, she punted it. 0.95

00:52:45.000 She said, I don't have to do it.

00:52:46.000 Why?

00:52:47.000 Under the guise of emergency powers.

00:52:48.000 Okay, well those are going away.

00:52:49.000 They were just stripped from Governor Cuomo.

00:52:51.000 Let's see that happen with Whitmer and then she'll have to at least answer some questions. 1.00

00:52:54.000 But let's go through the misdeeds that have been committed since then.

00:52:57.000 Like you said, back then, just record number of old people who she was snuffing. 0.99

00:53:01.000 And in October, she ignored the Supreme Court's order striking down her months of executive orders, saying that the emergency powers were necessary.

00:53:07.000 She, again, denied the FOIA requests.

00:53:09.000 Like I said, Cuomo has been stripped of those, so that gives us a path moving forward now, where, no, no, no, no, you can't shut down churches, keep pot shops open, and not disclose the numbers of nursing home deaths.

00:53:20.000 And then here's, like, I think we have a clip of what you were talking about.

00:53:24.000 Noah, if you want to understand Whitmer, okay, I picture a non-Whitmer. 0.66

00:53:28.000 And I remove all reason and accountability.

00:53:31.000 Because here she is, blaming all of it on, you guessed it, you guessed it, Donald Trump.

00:53:36.000 The feds are slow-walking the process of getting the addresses to Pfizer for some reason I cannot get an answer to.

00:53:45.000 We have Michigan hospitals and nursing homes ready to administer this vaccine.

00:53:52.000 And the bottleneck appears to be the White House.

00:53:55.000 What was that?

00:53:56.000 Up here.

00:53:56.000 We got Rand Paul.

00:53:57.000 Okay, well, Paul, let me just wrap this because Rand Paul's gonna want me to point out Governor Whitmer.

00:54:00.000 By the way, she was wearing, she fashioned Ted Nugent's guitar strap into a shirt.

00:54:07.000 So, she blamed it on Trump, but once Trump was actually gone, Whitmer failed to allocate enough vaccines for seniors.

00:54:13.000 She didn't allow vaccines for 65-year-olds until January 11th, and as of January 1st, only 25.7% of the vaccines supplied by the federal government had been administered.

00:54:22.000 She's just letting it sit there.

00:54:24.000 Just last month, she quietly extended restaurant limitations until March 29th, when they were set to expire on February 21st.

00:54:30.000 I know several restaurants that will never open again, one of which employs 19 people.

00:54:35.000 Oh, that makes sense.

00:54:36.000 shut down the restaurant and she originally eased up on the restrictions. 0.96

00:54:40.000 This is what's so telling. She eased up on the restrictions two days after

00:54:44.000 Biden's inauguration. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, that makes absolutely sense. You

00:54:49.000 know, we have a clip here but I don't want to have Rand Paul continue waiting.

00:54:53.000 It's just a propaganda clip of Governor Whitmer doing a Santa Claus thing to try

00:54:56.000 and teach kids to be communists. However, you can still go to

00:54:59.000 Go to allatranscatter.com slash Whitmer death toll or michigan.gov We have the site up here where you can submit your own FOIA request.

00:55:08.000 Simply wanting transparency in the actual number of senior deaths at those facilities in Michigan.

00:55:14.000 Keep her accountable.

00:55:16.000 This is how you win.

00:55:18.000 I believe that we have coming up right now, Senator Rand Paul.

00:55:22.000 Do we have Senator Rand Paul?

00:55:24.000 I think we have someone sitting there waiting.

00:55:26.000 As we wait for Senator Rand Paul here again, we want to take some of your questions.

00:55:29.000 Do we have a stinger for Rand Paul?

00:55:30.000 No.

00:55:31.000 No, we don't.

00:55:31.000 Okay.

00:55:32.000 A Senator stinger?

00:55:33.000 Like a walk-in song?

00:55:34.000 Well, I was going to say that we can play the Santa clip, but instead, let me tell you, there's several reasons I want to have Rand Paul on.

00:55:40.000 First off, he is the candidate I agree with most who also aggravates me.

00:55:45.000 Don't you love him?

00:55:46.000 Why?

00:55:46.000 Why is that?

00:55:47.000 I just feel like he does that with a lot of people.

00:55:50.000 I don't think there's a candidate, I don't think there's any politician out there who I agree with more on issues, if you were to do one of those political compass useless tests, than Rand Paul.

00:55:58.000 But I do, and I say that because you can just see other people getting irritated here when he was talking with Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine, doctor, and providing actual scientifically accurate medical information.

00:56:13.000 You can just see the frowns.

00:56:14.000 We have a clip and then we have Senator Rand Paul.

00:56:16.000 Do you support the government intervening to override the parents' consent to give a child puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and or amputation surgery of breasts and genitalia?

00:56:28.000 You have said that you're willing to accelerate the protocols for street kids.

00:56:33.000 Will you make a more firm decision on whether or not minors should be involved in these decisions?

00:56:39.000 Senator, transgender medicine is a very complex and nuanced field.

00:56:44.000 Thanks for informing the practicing doctor.

00:56:48.000 I would certainly be pleased to come to your office and talk with you and your staff about the standards of care and the complexity of this field.

00:56:56.000 Let it go into the record that the witness refused to answer the question.

00:57:00.000 The question is a very specific one.

00:57:02.000 Should minors be making these momentous decisions?

00:57:04.000 For most of the history of medicine, we wouldn't let you have a cut sewn up in the ER.

00:57:09.000 But you're willing to let a minor take things that prevent their puberty, and you think they get that back?

00:57:16.000 It's a trick question.

00:57:16.000 I love it.

00:57:17.000 They don't.

00:57:17.000 They do not.

00:57:18.000 I love it.

00:57:19.000 By the way, talk about reverse logic.

00:57:21.000 This was a video that was banned from YouTube at the LGBTQ town hall where they were teaching people how to transition children and get funded by the government.

00:57:28.000 And I asked them, I posed as someone who had a transgender child, I said, look, you give them the puberty blockers and then if they decide that they're not trans, you take them off it and they probably go back. 0.65

00:57:37.000 It's like, oh, hold on a second.

00:57:38.000 How about we do the opposite of that?

00:57:41.000 We are not.

00:57:42.000 And how about that doesn't work the right way.

00:57:44.000 He asked the question, they don't just get that back.

00:57:46.000 You put them on these puberty blockers for a reason.

00:57:49.000 And what are they making these decisions at 12, 13, 14 years old?

00:57:52.000 Sometimes even sick.

00:57:53.000 Yeah, I was about to say, sometimes even earlier on in life, they're not capable of making

00:57:57.000 this and all Rand Paul did was say, I have a legitimate question that parents across

00:58:01.000 the country right now are asking.

00:58:02.000 By the way, it's not just, can the kid make the decision?

00:58:04.000 It is, at what point does a seven-year-old get tied up with an activist group that then takes the right of their parents away so that the kid can make the decision legally, even if their parents disagree?

00:58:14.000 That logic would be like, so look, you guys have done fitness videos for a long time.

00:58:17.000 That's how they became really popular.

00:58:19.000 Strapping young lads.

00:58:21.000 So, it would be like someone coming to you for fitness advice.

00:58:24.000 Like, hey look, I haven't done anything.

00:58:26.000 What should I do?

00:58:26.000 And you go, look, Take Trenbolone, and then afterward, if you find it doesn't give you the results you want, it can just go to, you know, lifting weights and eating right.

00:58:35.000 Right.

00:58:37.000 But, you know, that's between consenting adults, you know?

00:58:39.000 No, exactly.

00:58:40.000 It's illegal, but it's consenting adults. 0.80

00:58:42.000 I don't see what's the rush with a small child.

00:58:44.000 They can't even consent.

00:58:45.000 They are not even at the legal age of consent.

00:58:48.000 How could you let a small child remove his genitalia, or a female, and take puberty blocks? 0.98

00:58:52.000 It's just sick. 0.98

00:58:53.000 It's just beyond reason.

00:58:54.000 It is, to be honest.

00:58:55.000 Think about that.

00:58:55.000 That's one thing that people don't talk about.

00:58:56.000 They are not of the age of consent sexually, but they are making decisions that can forever change their sex life.

00:59:02.000 Imagine this, right?

00:59:03.000 It's part of the wonderment of life.

00:59:06.000 When you go through puberty, you know, that first time, maybe, for me, it was that... It was awesome.

00:59:09.000 I was like, look, there's hair growing.

00:59:11.000 Yeah.

00:59:12.000 I was like, that part of the Jerry Maguire tape got a little bit worn.

00:59:18.000 We didn't have the internet back then.

00:59:19.000 But the point is, just VCRs.

00:59:21.000 The point is, imagine that you think your parents have, you know, have done right by you.

00:59:26.000 You get put on, or you get a sex change, puberty blockers, and then once you reach your teenage years, you find out that you're one of the significant percentage of transgender individuals who will never be able to, being blunt, achieve an orgasm. 1.00

00:59:37.000 Or what? 0.58

00:59:38.000 I would just, man, it's no point in living.

00:59:40.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:59:41.000 That's why I wake up.

00:59:43.000 I don't think they put that in the questionnaire.

00:59:45.000 Go ahead.

00:59:46.000 I just want to wake up in the morning.

00:59:48.000 For what? 0.82

00:59:48.000 To bust nuts. 0.82

00:59:49.000 I knew that's what I was going to say. 1.00

00:59:52.000 He's saying that like a black man busting his nuts. 1.00

00:59:55.000 Oh my gosh. 0.99

00:59:57.000 Do y'all have some merch for that?

00:59:59.000 I just want to go deep inside.

01:00:02.000 This is a family show.

01:00:05.000 We were assuming that it was corn nuts.

01:00:10.000 Especially if you're doing it in a circus tent in the USSR on your honeymoon. 0.92

01:00:14.000 Why do more people not talk about the fact that Bernie Sanders went to the Soviet Union for his honeymoon?

01:00:19.000 Yeah.

01:00:19.000 By the way, this wasn't like last year or something like that.

01:00:21.000 This is when it was really unpopular.

01:00:23.000 This is when it was really bad.

01:00:26.000 It's like going to South Africa during a party.

01:00:28.000 And by the way, you know that wasn't his decision.

01:00:30.000 His wife was like, I don't know, maybe St. 1.00

01:00:33.000 Louis.

01:00:33.000 She's like, how do you feel about fighting a bear?

01:00:37.000 I booked the tickets!

01:00:38.000 No return flight!

01:00:40.000 Alright, we have Senator, I believe, Senator Rand Paul.

01:00:43.000 We just showed that clip of him with Dr. Rachel Levine.

01:00:46.000 Senator Rand Paul, can you hear me, sir?

01:00:48.000 Good morning.

01:00:49.000 It sounds kind of crazy.

01:00:50.000 I'm not sure I want to be on.

01:00:55.000 I'm not sure I want to be hosting.

01:00:57.000 But I just showed that clip of you with Dr. Rachel Levine.

01:01:01.000 First off, my question to you, Senator Rand Paul, is how did it feel to have someone sitting there at this hearing informing you of the subtle and nuanced details of transgender medicine, of which I'm sure you were not privy?

01:01:17.000 Yeah, I thought maybe Dr. Levine was going to say, now son, you can't understand this and I'll come and talk to you.

01:01:27.000 Bless your heart.

01:01:27.000 We're just not sure you can understand the nuances of giving little kids hormones that change their sexual appearance.

01:01:34.000 But no, I think that when you look at the actual issue, it's horrifying to think that the people Biden is appointing would actually say that a 10-year-old's opinion would override their parents' consent.

01:01:47.000 So a parent says, no, don't get anywhere near my kid.

01:01:51.000 And the 10-year-old says, oh, I want to go to a gender clinic. 0.70

01:01:54.000 And all of these people who have already become activists and zealots for this, many of whom have done the surgery to themselves, are there telling your 10-year-old kid how brave they are and how it's a great thing for their kid to want to do this.

01:02:07.000 And the parents object, and they would take a 10-year-old's word over their parents.

01:02:11.000 or 10-year-old's opinion. See, I think that nobody in America believes that. I think maybe

01:02:16.000 less than 1% of America actually think that's a good thing.

01:02:19.000 But everybody's afraid of the media because the media will beat the hell out of you and

01:02:23.000 say you're a big hater if you bring it up. Well, yeah, you were trending on Twitter as

01:02:28.000 transphobic that day when again it used to be that you could say, look, you want to put on

01:02:33.000 a dress, put on makeup, as an adult, do whatever you want to do, that's fine.

01:02:37.000 As a libertarian, more libertarian-minded person, it doesn't infringe on my life.

01:02:41.000 The only issue is when we're talking about women's sports. 0.68

01:02:43.000 But it used to be, and by used to, I mean two years ago, still a relatively safe position to say, but you can't let kids transition.

01:02:50.000 No, no, no, we don't want to let kids transition. 1.00

01:02:52.000 The good news is, if she were to call you son, you could demand some testosterone pills, throw her for a loop.

01:02:58.000 Yeah, because that would be some kind of gender hate crime to refer to me by my gender at all.

01:03:03.000 No, I think the thing about it is when you talk about this, they're also lying to you.

01:03:09.000 They're saying, oh, it's all reversible.

01:03:11.000 Well, there's two different things they want to do to your children.

01:03:13.000 First, they want to delay puberty.

01:03:15.000 There is a certain reversibility to that drug.

01:03:18.000 But when they get to be 14, they give a girl massive amounts of testosterone, enough to grow a beard, a beard better than your beard, probably. 1.00

01:03:26.000 That's not saying much.

01:03:29.000 See what I was saying?

01:03:30.000 I was saying this before.

01:03:31.000 Senator Rand Paul is the person with whom I agree the most and still irritates me.

01:03:38.000 Here's the thing is, you give a 14-year-old girl that much testosterone, she grows a beard, she doesn't go back to the appearance of a girl. 0.99

01:03:45.000 It changes things forever and a 14-year-old can't make this decision.

01:03:50.000 But they begin grooming these children at 10, because the so-called psychological evaluation is a bunch of people who have changed their sexual appearance through surgery or hormones, telling the child it's okay.

01:04:03.000 Do you think anybody is at the gender dysphoria clinic saying, well, you might be careful, this could be permanent, maybe you'll change your mind?

01:04:11.000 Right.

01:04:12.000 The American College of Pediatrics has looked at this and 85 to 90 percent of these children who are confused work it out and end up not doing this.

01:04:21.000 If you leave them alone, don't give them medicine and don't affirm and coach them into believing that it's a good idea.

01:04:29.000 Left to their own sort of desires.

01:04:32.000 Most kids will kind of grow out of this.

01:04:34.000 There's a large association... It's actually over 90 percent.

01:04:37.000 It's up to 98, depending where you... I think the source you used was 90, but it depends on the age, you know, where you do the cutoff.

01:04:43.000 It's up to 96 or 98 percent.

01:04:45.000 Now, people don't know this, the number of children who transition, if you put them on hormone blockers, is zero.

01:04:52.000 So there's a direct correlation right there between intervention, which we know in any other scenario obviously would be considered medically risky, and the outcome of the child.

01:05:03.000 Yeah.

01:05:04.000 And but this is a bigger debate even just beyond the specific issue of whether or not children should override their parents wishes at such a young age and to do something that I think is potentially irreversible.

01:05:17.000 And I think it's really just a crime.

01:05:19.000 And yet, this is being mainstreamed, and these people will be in charge of a trillion dollar budget at HHS.

01:05:30.000 Right.

01:05:31.000 And a lot of that budget will go towards government care of children.

01:05:35.000 So, will this Dr. Levine be able to get her radical views into the minds of children?

01:05:41.000 Well, when you have a trillion dollar budget, I'm sure this doctor will find a way.

01:05:44.000 Yeah, but with HHS, a trillion dollars is like a take-a-penny-leave-a-penny jar.

01:05:48.000 One of my co-hosts here, Gerald, has a question, I believe, and then we're gonna have to go to YouTube only because they don't like this.

01:05:54.000 Yes, Senator, I had a question.

01:05:56.000 Mug club only, I assume.

01:05:57.000 Mug club, yes, yes.

01:05:58.000 We have the party of science, right, on the other side saying you have to always follow science, follow science.

01:06:02.000 Well, how can we when they keep changing what science is?

01:06:05.000 I think, isn't that the point you're bringing up?

01:06:07.000 Like, you guys are not following the science?

01:06:08.000 Especially as a doctor, yeah.

01:06:10.000 Well, actually, nowhere is this more apparent than all the COVID.

01:06:14.000 You know, there's been a million different opinions by Dr. Fauci.

01:06:17.000 He's been on both sides of every issue.

01:06:20.000 But the one thing consistent about Dr. Fauci is that when he lies to you, he's lying for your own good because you're not You're not smart enough to make decisions.

01:06:31.000 You might choose not to be vaccinated if he tells you that herd immunity takes 90%, so he's been telling you 70% because he wants to convince you to take a vaccine.

01:06:42.000 Likewise, on the masks, the reason he has admitted that he lied I don't know what the lie was because masks probably don't help at all anyway.

01:06:52.000 He says, oh the mask will help the mask.

01:06:54.000 Well, but he didn't want you to buy the N95s because the N95s are the only mask that actually probably works to a certain degree.

01:07:01.000 That's the one the doctors use and he was afraid that the public would buy them and there wouldn't be enough.

01:07:06.000 So he lied or you know misspoke or Told you what he thought you were capable of hearing at your low intellectual level.

01:07:13.000 And this is a problem.

01:07:15.000 This is, you know, Fauci is the paragon of elitism and that he knows better than the rest of us.

01:07:22.000 But in a free society, it's the opposite.

01:07:24.000 Every individual assesses their own risk, whether you're going to cross the road, whether you're going to wait for a green light, whether you're going to get in a car, whether you're going to get on a motorcycle, whether you wear a helmet, whether you take a vaccine, whether you get the disease.

01:07:35.000 Those are individual decisions in a free society, and we can't forget that.

01:07:38.000 And before we go to MuggsLonely here really quickly, didn't he mock you on the mere concept

01:07:43.000 of herd immunity or am I misremembering that? At every point that he disagreed with me,

01:07:50.000 he turned out to be wrong when you examined the evidence.

01:07:52.000 And I know that's a surprise.

01:07:55.000 That's a shocker.

01:07:55.000 But I'll give you probably the worst one, and this one hasn't been publicized.

01:07:58.000 In our first meeting in March of last year, as the disease was just starting to go through that first peak, I raised my hand and said, Dr. Fauci, don't you think in some of these very sick individuals that high-dose steroids might work?

01:08:11.000 We've used it in other conditions like this where the lungs fill with fluid as a last gasp sort of thing.

01:08:16.000 And he says, oh no, we've tried that.

01:08:17.000 That doesn't work.

01:08:19.000 Well, it turns out the most important thing you get if you have to be put on a ventilator is IV steroids at a high dose to try to save your life.

01:08:26.000 And it has actually brought down the mortality by 80% using IV steroids.

01:08:31.000 So he's wrong on everything.

01:08:32.000 He's wrong on immunity.

01:08:34.000 He said, oh, kids could get sick and they might have Kawasaki's disease.

01:08:38.000 Turns out the death rate among those under age 25 is one in a million.

01:08:42.000 It's less than the seasonal flu.

01:08:44.000 Now, it's more dangerous than the flu for older people, but for younger people, this is actually less dangerous than the seasonal flu.

01:08:50.000 So for young people, one in a million, you're saying there's a chance.

01:08:54.000 Alright, we're gonna go really quickly to Mug Club Only.
