On today's show, we have a special guest, Andrew Klavan, host of the Daily Wire Network's Andrew Kavan Show. We discuss the latest on the Mueller investigation, CNN, and much, much more!
00:00:02.000And we have a guest on with us soon here.
00:00:04.000One thing, I hate to actually eat while we have a guest on.
00:00:06.000Oh, you know what? I just realized, did I take this yet?
00:00:08.000I don't know. This isn't a sponsor, but it's actually, when people say what supplements are, I take very few supplements or vitamins, but there's actually just something called KSM-66.
00:00:15.000It's the closest thing to like a natural miracle drug.
00:02:02.000He was terrible. Well, that's because we had some dirt on him.
00:02:04.000We let him know right before he leaves. All right, listen...
00:02:07.000That's true. So let me fill you in, Andrew.
00:02:09.000We have to do this with all our guests. I'm sorry, let me keep it really brief.
00:02:11.000The CNN hit list. The reason we're doing this, and the only way we're able to do this, as Ben said, to live like welfare queens is because of Mug Club.
00:02:19.000We needed 16 hours for the entire original CNN clock just to prove how bad it is, how biased it is.
00:02:24.000We thought we could only do this kind of like change my mind.
00:02:27.000Unedited, watching it all day so people can see how bad it is.
00:02:30.000So let me give you a really quick hit list, okay, of what's been going on today on CNN. Slow Newsday, you would think.
00:02:36.000not according to Blitzer. So, we started the day where they were stoking of course the
00:02:41.000Russian hysteria, the idea that Trump was going to fire Mueller. Then Adam Schiff on
00:02:44.000regarding the Mueller probe, he's been saying he has evidence for nine months, no evidence,
00:02:47.000not one single mention of Uranium One despite it being trending on Twitter all day. They
00:02:51.000said with the CHIP program, Republicans wanted to defund it and nine million tiny Tims would
00:02:54.000die. They used the word nine million tiny Tims, yes they did, they actually said that.
00:02:58.000And the funny thing is of course no mention of the fact that Republicans actually want
00:03:01.000to continue funding the child healthcare initiative for another five years. No mention of the
00:03:05.000Melbourne attacker being Afghani Sayyid Nouri, if I'm pronouncing it correctly, saying he
00:03:10.000did it because of mistreatment of Muslims. They didn't mention the 1995 Israel vote at
00:03:14.000all to situate the embassy in Jerusalem and recognize it as its capital. No mention of
00:03:18.000short term funding from the Republicans until January 19th.
00:03:20.000Remember, they said, we don't need to shut down.
00:03:22.000Let's just extend this to January 19th.
00:03:25.000But then when they finally did, and then it was kicked to the Senate, and basically that's going to happen, they just said, oh, House votes, no government shutdown.
00:03:32.000Well, you mean what the Republicans pushed forward?
00:03:34.000And then finally, breaking news currently developing.
00:03:38.000Bannon said that Bush 43 was a destructive president, and of course that was actually said last October.
00:03:43.000So it seems to me breaking news on CNN means lie.
00:03:49.000Your thoughts? You're a little too kind.
00:03:53.000I think the fact that it's taking you 16 hours to figure out that CNN is a pack of lies is a little disturbing.
00:04:01.000But did you know they do this, though?
00:04:03.000Did you know they do this? They showed a clip of Franken, and it said earlier.
00:05:32.000You're supposed to put them on the shelf and they tell Santa Claus whether your kid has been naughty or nice.
00:05:37.000I know. So, that right there is kind of creepy, and then to have it be Not Gay Jared just kind of amps the creep exponentially.
00:05:45.000Yeah, it might be tiny NSA on the shelf.
00:05:47.000And here's the thing. It's either a complete lie, or if it's functional, there are just millions of Elf on Shelf sex tapes just ready to be dropped at any given moment.
00:05:59.000That's why I asked... This is not going to go well.
00:06:03.000The open-the-shelf in my studio has seen things you would not believe.
00:06:07.000I mean, you were talking about Nikki Haley at the UN. That is my porn.
00:06:12.000Watching Nikki Haley slap the UN around is like spanking porn to me.
00:06:16.000All I want is for Nikki Haley to wear leather when she attacks the people at the UN, and I would be in heaven.
00:06:22.000That would be it. At one point, I just really...
00:06:25.000Sorry, I'm eating because I haven't even had a break for dinner.
00:06:27.000At one point... What would you give, just for when Nikki Haley was doing her thing, sitting there, for someone to object, and just Nikki Haley looked him dead in the eye, just her talking, someone say, I object, and her go, shut up, bitch.
00:06:51.000It is true, though. The Elf on the Shelf is really creepy.
00:06:53.000I know that, you know, get by the fireplace, Christmas tree, get under the mistletoe, my wife and I, and I turn to the Elf and say, don't you look at me, and I turn it around.
00:07:02.000And then three hours later, it's been turned back around.
00:07:04.000No one knows. That's way beyond anything I wanted to know.
00:09:18.000Right, that's right. By the way, don't think I didn't notice that that was a prick comment, and he's like, oh, I can actually remember Reagan, implying that I can't.
00:09:40.000I think you're right. I think his last week, politically, has definitely been the best of the year because he's finally gotten some stuff done.
00:09:49.000I'm a little upset with the passive versus active income in the tax bill.
00:09:52.000I think it favors people in real estate a little bit more than people in other businesses.
00:09:56.000But overall, 80% of Americans are going to see a tax break.
00:10:00.000And that's the crazy thing we've been talking about with CNN. They go, breaking news, poll, most Americans think they'll pay more under Trump's plan.
00:10:07.000But they're not. 80% of them will pay less.
00:11:33.000They have just manufactured a plant where they can just ingest, poop it out, re-ingest it like it's never-ending fodder for a stupid little channel.
00:11:42.000It's the human centipede of news! And that is an unflattering angle.
00:11:44.000Quick, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it!
00:13:10.000I'm like, oh, I think there might be enough damage on the Republican Party because he's so unpopular.
00:13:14.000He's given them so much fodder that we may never get another Republican again.
00:13:17.000But then it's counterbalanced like this week of, okay, once these legislative accomplishments go through, once you see the fruits of the labor, once people see how much money they save, right now he has a 35% approval rating.
00:13:29.000I think it maybe might have been 37% because the majority of people don't realize they'll pay less in taxes.
00:13:34.000They don't know that lowering the corporate tax rate just to be comparable to the rest of the industrialized world will result in more employment.
00:13:41.000You know, they don't know that this alone, fight for 15, I think it was Boeing, Wells Fargo, AT&T said our low minimum wage now goes to $15 an hour and we're giving out millions in bonuses.
00:14:54.000Eventually, if Trump is successful, as I think he's now going to be, I think people are going to start to scratch their chins and think maybe it's CNN. Yes.
00:15:02.000That's the problem. Well, at least everyone who has a layover in Atlanta who actually watches CNN, I think we're the only ones to subject themselves.
00:15:07.000Exactly. Well, that's the other thing.
00:15:10.000They're talking to you and you're the only person watching CNN who's not catching a flight.
00:15:14.000That's true. And the thousands of people, 16,000, 17,000 people watching us right now.
00:15:19.000But you're right. Reality has a voice.
00:15:20.000And with Reagan, it's a whisper more so.
00:15:23.000It's a whisper because it takes a little while to pick up on it.
00:15:26.000And with Ronald Reagan, the whisper was, Jimmy Carter's a pussy.
00:15:29.000And you're like, what was that? Jimmy Carter's a pussy.
00:15:32.000You're like, oh, good. Okay, we get it now.
00:15:34.000So hopefully that's what's going to happen.
00:15:35.000With Donald Trump. And who are they going to run against them?
00:15:39.000They've got Methuselah and Pocahontas, you know, they've got like Bernie Sanders, who actually may have passed away in the intervene since the campaign.
00:15:49.000I think he's now, you know, he's just a corpse, an animated metronic corpse, going, ah, we take everybody's money and give it to the poor people, it'll be great.
00:15:56.000And then you get Elizabeth Sanders, who I could, I would Pay money to watch her debate at Donald Trump, I think.
00:20:56.000Yeah, but it's not him. He's not on there.
00:20:57.000So it's Wolf Blitzer? Whoever it was just then, yeah.
00:21:01.000Gosh! I kind of poked you during that interview, and I'm glad you ignored me, but the headline at 7.01, primetime headline, Mar-a-Lago raises rates for New Year's.
00:22:33.000So, the only reason we're able to do this is liveworkout.com slash mugclub.
00:22:36.000$99 annually, $69 for students, veterans, active military.
00:22:40.000Enter in the promo code. And if you're a student of life, it's Christmas.
00:22:42.000Right now, we'll give it to you. We are able to call CNN on their bullcrap because we're not beholden to sponsors who might pull from us.
00:22:49.000Because we're not beholden to YouTube who might try to throttle us.
00:22:52.000All the big supporters of net neutrality, ironically.
00:22:54.000Facebook, Twitter, YouTube. They've been gunning for us for years, and thank you so much to people who do it.
00:22:59.000And by the way, Sven Computer is going to read out some more of you, not now, but later on, who've joined Mug Club, because every time someone joins Mug Club, Muhammad is raped in hell.
00:23:09.000There we go. I guess there's a surprise performance?
00:23:11.000We have a surprise performance. Please tell me it's not going to be...
00:23:20.000Am I going to slow up? No, you're fine.
00:23:21.000I'm not closing my eyes. Do I have to close my eyes?
00:23:23.000No, you don't have to close your eyes. Okay, good. All right, so I don't want to get theological on everybody, but it is the season to be a little bit fruity for the gospel here.
00:23:33.000So what I'm thinking here is, I spent a lot of time thinking about Christmas.
00:23:37.000Yeah. Is it about Jesus or is it about Santa Claus?
00:23:42.000Are you asking me? Yeah, what say you?
00:23:45.000Well, I know this is a trick question, because I'm supposed to say Jesus.
00:23:47.000I'm supposed to say Jesus. But corporate America is...
00:26:10.000In those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world shall be enrolled.
00:26:18.000This was the first enrollment made when Cuneras was governor of Syria.
00:26:24.000All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
00:26:28.000Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city of Nazareth into Judea
00:26:33.000to the city of David which is called Bethlehem because he was of
00:26:37.000The house and family of David to enroll himself with Mary who being pregnant was pledged to be married to him
00:26:46.000It happened while they were there that the day had come that she should give birth
00:26:53.000she brought forth her firstborn son and she wrapped him in Bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough
00:27:01.000Because there was no room for them in the end there were shepherds in the same country staying in the
00:27:10.000field and Keeping watch by night over their flock behold an angel of
00:27:15.000the Lord stood by them and the glory of the Lord Shown around them and they were terrified the angel said to
00:27:23.000them. Don't be afraid for behold. I Bring you good news of great joy, which will be to be
00:27:30.000Stephen and to all the people For there is born to you this day in the city of David a
00:27:37.000Savior who is Christ the Lord This is the sign to you. You will find a baby wrapped in
00:27:44.000strips of cloth lying in a feeding trough Suddenly, there was, with the angel, a multitude of the heavenly hosts praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest.
00:27:56.000On earth, peace, goodwill towards Stephen.
00:32:55.000Oh, well, but I know, but I mean, if you're actually going to wrestle in figgy pudding, my point is, like, it's not about the little people thing, but you're going to wrestle a woman.
00:33:05.000You're like the Andy Kaufman of Jesus.
00:36:42.000Rules of engagement. You cannot hit each other with the Figgy Puck, because that could cause serious concussions, and I don't want any liability here in the studio.
00:36:49.000No. And I don't want anyone getting hurt.
00:36:51.000No. Now, are you two, like, have you known each other for a long time?
00:40:48.000And Jesus will never... Oh boy, I hope it was an overall positive experience, because we very much appreciate it, and I know you guys were just, were troopers here tonight, because it was cold in the studio, it wasn't really figgy pudding, and I don't, do we have a belt or anything like that?
00:41:05.000We don't have a belt. We should wear, we should come up with a belt.
00:51:39.000All right, we are back and so is Hopper.
00:51:54.000Good Lord, that happened. Hashtag Crowder CNN livestream.
00:51:56.000Get it going. I want Don Lemon to come in here living.
00:51:59.000Hey, look, breaking news on CNN right now.
00:52:01.000Bring up the volume for people who can't hear.
00:52:03.000UN votes 128 to 9 to condemn U.S. Embassy move to Jerusalem.
00:52:07.000And, oh, we're bringing back on the John O. Brennan tweet admonishing President Trump for admonishing the UN for admonishing his action in recognizing the embassy.
00:53:18.000Yeah. Proven by watching it for 16 hours straight.
00:53:20.000Yeah. There is no way to, any other way, actually verify just how bad this is.
00:53:27.000And for the people, for the tens of thousands of people who've stayed with us all day or had us going, man, you guys are troopers.
00:53:32.000Love you guys. Thank you so much. And I really hope that for those who've joined, you feel that Mug Club has been worth it because this is our first year.
00:53:38.000We went daily and we have been trying to go above and beyond.
00:53:40.000Sometimes we fall short. By the way, did you mean to say, refer to our dwarf Jesus as troopers?
00:53:47.000Yes. That was a very conscious decision.
00:54:38.000Well, you gotta talk to Hillary about this because she was like, I was so worried that when I went in there to tell them what was going on, they were like, oh, no, no, that sounds reasonable.
00:54:45.000At least there's not, like, oil and stuff like that.
00:54:49.000She's like, they're kind of fine with it.
00:54:50.000I guess this happens. She was a good-looking Dane.
00:54:55.000Actually, Jesus wasn't a bad guy either.
00:54:57.000I couldn't really see much, but they were good-looking.
00:54:59.000So I guess they're a couple? They're a couple.
00:55:01.000Are they married? No, I think they're referred to as girlfriends, so not married.
00:55:05.000Okay, but a good-looking couple, and I was...
00:55:11.000I'm glad, you know, because people who don't know this, if you remember the story, we went to rentadwarf.com, and we wanted them for CPAC one year, and they said, we think you're going to use this for untoward purposes.
00:58:26.000Barely. This is the ghost of Steven Past.
00:58:28.000I'm a bit worried. These are really reflections.
00:58:31.000We're all worried. Just before this, Lauren, it said, former CIA director lashes out over Trump, over him threatening to pull UN funding, over condemnation.
00:58:41.000So that's like, I couldn't think of a less action-worthy phrase.
00:58:45.000And then it said, coming up, Vice President Pence's praise of Donald Trump.
00:58:50.000So, we usually do a hit list, but I'm going to keep, with every single guest, we've done a hit list just as far as the most egregious sins from CNN. But they started off with Russia, Russia, Russia.
00:58:57.000No proof about the Mueller issue Adam Schiff was on.
00:59:01.000Nine months, no evidence. Not one mention of Uranium One.
00:59:03.000Not once, all day. They said with the CHIP program, Child Healthcare Initiative, 9 million Tiny Tims would die.
00:59:07.000Then when they said, okay, it looks like this isn't going to happen, they didn't say that nine million Tiny Tims would not die.
00:59:11.000No mention of the Melbourne attacker being an Afghani, Saeed Nori, who said he did this because people weren't sympathetic enough to Muslims.
00:59:17.000They didn't mention the 1995 Israel vote to recognize the embassy in Jerusalem as its capital.
01:00:13.000I think they don't have their priorities straight.
01:00:16.000I don't think they have their priorities straight either.
01:00:18.000So, hey, Lauren, what was your favorite political moment of the year?
01:00:21.000We've been asking people. My favorite political moment of the year?
01:00:25.000Well, obviously it has to be Trump winning and the great rapture, so to speak, for liberals.
01:00:32.000It didn't even matter whether you like Trump or not.
01:00:34.000If you're just anti-radical left, the insanity that they went through, the Trump derangement syndrome, was one of the biggest lulzy moments of the year.
01:01:57.000Okay. Because I know, yeah, I know that he was over there at Daily Wire.
01:01:59.000So it seems, I know there were like a lot of splits in 2016 and it seems like people are kind of making amends and do you think the conservative coalition is kind of coming back together?
01:02:09.000Oh yeah, absolutely. Well, you know what?
01:02:10.000It's funny because I think that Donald Trump was kind of like a dog chasing a car for conservatives and right-wingers.
01:02:20.000They were running so fast after it and then they've caught it and they didn't really know what to do when they caught it.
01:02:27.000They were all aligned for so long trying to get Trump to win and then After that, they kind of went at each other's throats for months and months and months.
01:02:36.000There was all the splits, alt-right, alt-lite, whatever you want to call it, whatever alt there is, liberals, centrists.
01:02:46.000And now I feel things are finally coming back together and people are saying, all right, there's something bigger here.
01:03:32.000Like, when you see Trudeau as your prime minister and you see President Trump as obviously our president, I mean, how much are the therapy sessions that you need to pay for?
01:03:45.000You're so mean. It must be depressing.
01:04:36.000Yes. Beautiful. But I do think he has a very good chance of winning again, first of all, because Canadians don't really pay attention to politics that much.
01:04:46.000They just look at the shiny hair and they're like, oh, that's nice.
01:04:48.000Put him on the front cover of all our newspapers and we'll worship him like a God King Trudeau.
01:04:53.000And also, I don't think the conservative candidate is very strong.
01:05:16.000And Andrew Scheer. But I also don't think he's quite strong enough to really mobilize the same kind of movement that Trump did.
01:05:24.000So I'm hoping that Trump's cultural influence and the kind of culture of pro-free speech, the Jordan Peterson types, will spread across the Canadian populace.
01:05:33.000But it's going to take a bit longer than the Trump effect, that's for sure.
01:05:38.000Well, let me ask you this because we had Jordan Peterson on.
01:05:39.000He was the first guest early this morning.
01:06:13.000Do you think they watch their own program to realize it?
01:06:15.000Do you think they're like, oh god, I go home and watch anything but see it.
01:06:17.000Yes, I do. No, I do. I think Wolf Blitzer's like Larry Sanders and he falls asleep watching himself with a bottle of Astroglide next to the bed.
01:06:26.000That's what I think. I think Wolf Blitzer is such a narcissist.
01:08:08.000Yes, we hired two dwarfs and they wrestled right here in a kiddie pool of figgy pudding to determine the true spirit of Christmas and Jesus beat up female Santa.
01:08:35.000They surprised me with carolers. Three carolers came in.
01:08:37.000They sang a carol. Turns out there were supposed to be four.
01:08:40.000The fourth one in the green room saw the monitor, saw me, started convulsing in tears, and said she couldn't come in and sing for the monster that is me, and left.
01:08:50.000Had to be helped out. Wait, wait, wait.
01:09:29.000No, she locked herself in our green room so that we couldn't get into our own green room just to cry over the notion of singing a Christmas carol for me.
01:09:45.000Christopher has destroyed the Christmas spirit. In fairness, though, like we're talking about, if you watched CNN all day and you thought this was the equivalent of singing, you know, Joy to the World to Hitler, would you do it?
01:09:54.000Well, that's the thing. When they say, you know, you're being so politically divisive, I'm going, well, listen, people know where you're coming from.
01:10:01.000To me, what divides people is when you have a 24-hour news cycle that's dishonest and makes people actually believe that the right is Hitler, or that the right actually, you know, that we're totalitarians, that we want to kill 9 million tiny tins.
01:10:14.000What happens to her when she goes to her Christmas dinner and her conservative uncle walks in the room and she has to sit there across from him?
01:10:21.000I don't know if you saw that College Humor video where it was Thanksgiving and the guy has to defuse all the bombs across the table because they keep bringing up topics like the NFL and the kneeling and he's trying to defuse the TV bomb and then someone brings up Trump and the whole table is wired up with bombs and he's like, no! Yeah.
01:10:43.000CNN has destroyed Christmas for a lot of people, I'm sure.
01:10:46.000If you have someone convulsing in your green room over the idea of singing joy to the world to a happy man in a Santa suit.
01:11:07.000We were talking about this. We kind of laugh about it.
01:11:09.000But when they say the country is divided, here's the thing.
01:11:12.000Me interviewing Wendy Davis as a tranny and my hat flying off and her still not catching on, it's not going to divide anybody.
01:11:20.000What divides people is the lies by omission, not covering the fact that Republicans actually didn't want the government shut down, put a bill forward to the 19th, not covering the fact that Republicans do not want to cut chip.
01:11:32.000They do not want 9 million Tiny Tim's dead.
01:11:36.000Not me doing a gag, not you going in there and doing some investigative journalism.
01:11:40.000What truly divides people is the constant bombardment of lies.
01:11:45.000I mean, if you lived in an airport, and this is all you saw, genuinely, Lauren, we were talking about this, we all agreed, we are the most misinformed we have been in the news any day of this year, because CNN has been our exclusive source of news, and we don't know anything.
01:11:59.000We don't know what's really going on. Depressing beyond that is it's not only an ideological divide because at least with the ideological divide you can sit down and if someone is willing even just a little bit to talk to you, you can prove to them you're not a monster with your words.
01:12:16.000Right. But they've divided us on gender and race as well.
01:12:19.000All white people are these evil oppressors who I want to kill you and start another fourth Reich or whatever.
01:12:26.000And all women and men, it's all patriarchy.
01:13:34.000I literally can't think of any human being that I would break down at the sight of.
01:13:40.000Can you imagine if I showed up to do a stand-up gig and the guy said, that's Keith Olbermann, and I was like, I don't think Keith Olbermann's going to find me funny.
01:13:47.000But his producer said, listen, if you disagree with Keith Olbermann, you can go in and sit right next to him on the recliner with a mug full of coffee and have a talk with him.
01:13:58.000No. I couldn't get out there fast enough.
01:14:00.000All right. Speaking of which, we do have to get going.
01:14:02.000We have other guests to get to, and it has been a wonderful night.
01:14:05.000So, Lauren Southern, at Lauren underscore Southern.
01:14:08.000Stay safe there in Canada, because I know they're gunning for you with the millennials on the college campus and the anti-Jordan Petersons and the LGBTQ AIP. So stay safe.
01:16:31.000Yes. Alright, well listen, plenty of people have joined Mug Club today, and like we said, the only reason we're able to call CNN and their bullcrap, the only reason we're able to fight against Leighton at the war for late night...
01:16:40.000We can't bring them up quite yet, just so you know.
01:16:41.000Oh, we can't bring them up? Because we're connecting with our guests.
01:16:43.000Oh, we're connecting with our guests. But we'll bring them up afterwards.
01:16:46.000There's no cavalry coming over the hill.
01:16:49.000No. Did you notice that's a word where I often mess up?
01:16:51.000Cavalry and Calvary because that's the place, obviously.
01:16:54.000The Jesus place. But I often get this place.
01:16:57.000You also say supposed. For somebody who's spent significant periods of time in Canada, you're doing good.
01:18:08.000He looks like, you ever watch the Nutcracker and the rats that are lifelike size come out, and you're like, oh geez, and they have the sword and it traumatized you as a kid?
01:19:47.000I actually do a lot of what you're doing as well, but I do it for entertainment.
01:19:51.000Yes. Well, you do it for entertainment, and we do it as well.
01:19:54.000But in this case, the only way to prove how bad CNN was was to go through their entire original clock to show people that it's not just an isolated incident.
01:20:02.000It's the entire day. I hate to do this.
01:20:04.000It's repetitive. But I've got to brief you on just a CNN hit list for what they did today, if I can, in 35 seconds.
01:20:11.000All right. CNN, they started this morning with soaking the Russia hysteria, the idea that Trump was going to fire Mueller, even though he said he wasn't going to fire Mueller.
01:20:17.000They didn't mention it until later in the day.
01:20:18.000Then Adam Schiff was on regarding the Mueller probe.
01:20:20.000Nine months ago, he said there was evidence.
01:20:22.000There's been no evidence. No mention of Uranium One, despite it being the number one trend on Twitter almost all day.
01:20:26.000Not a mention once. The CHIP program, Child Health Care Initiative, they said nine million, I quote, tiny Tims will die because of Republicans.
01:20:34.000No mention that the Melbourne attacker was Afghani named Saeed Naori, who said he was doing it because Muslims were being mistreated.
01:20:38.000They didn't mention at all the 1995 Israel vote that put the Israeli embassy in Jerusalem and was supposed to be recognized no later than 1999.
01:20:44.000And then, of course, no mention of the short-term funding from Republicans until January 19th.
01:20:47.000They were talking all day about the government shutdown.
01:20:49.000And then, finally, when the government shutdown did not happen because of what the GOP put forward, they just...
01:20:54.000Put in 45 seconds saying, oh, by the way, 9 million Italian teams might not die.
01:20:57.000House votes didn't mention that it was something Republicans put forward.
01:21:00.000Finally, Mike Pence apparently praises the president.
01:25:28.000Let me make this point. I feel like you might have already done it, but since I feel like this is the appropriate show, and if you're tired, I feel like I have standing in this matter at least a little bit.
01:25:37.000Because you ran for office. Because Leanne Tweeden, Stephen, who he had groped in that, I worked with her.
01:25:43.000We were co-workers at UFC tonight, and we still have a good relationship, and she does a little show in California.
01:25:48.000That's right. I go on it every time before I have a fight coming up.
01:25:50.000So, you know, my opinion might matter a little bit because I am biased towards her, but here's what Al had on his side.
01:25:56.000He did wrong. He admitted it, but here's the difference with him.
01:26:03.000And she moved on. And that's honor amongst men.
01:26:07.000If the two people withstanding the two principles in the act came to terms, it's none of the rest of ours' business.
01:26:13.000You know what? I think that's a good point.
01:26:14.000I think that's very inconsistent right now with the just complete...
01:26:19.000Us-versus-them mindset of, oh, it's like this nuclear arms race of sexual harassment.
01:26:24.000It's like, listen, I don't care if a Republican does it or a Democrat.
01:26:26.000Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, doesn't matter who it is.
01:26:29.000This is a dirtbag. This is someone who needs to be replaced.
01:26:31.000But someone who took that picture apologized, and the lady said, ah, it wasn't that big of a deal.
01:26:36.000Thanks. I accept it. It doesn't matter whether it's a Democrat or a Republican.
01:26:39.000That being said, there were some other allegations, and Al Franken's a prick.
01:26:43.000So there is that... The other allegations, I will agree.
01:26:48.000I'll just speak to that very first one.
01:26:50.000And I'm not sure he should resign either.
01:26:52.000There is a matter, you know, if you were to take, you know, from what the president went through or even what Roy Moore was going through, there is a significant difference when the voters know ahead of time until they make their decision.
01:27:03.000All is forgiven. In Al's case, it came out after the fact, and some other people's, it came out after the fact.
01:28:35.000And they have this nutcracker rat-looking fellow, like Orlando Bloom just slept with a rat.
01:28:41.000They just have on here. He's their reporter.
01:28:43.000Do you feel as though it's really closed quickly in the last year and a half?
01:28:48.000I mean, you were there early, but now you're getting far more people tuning in to you than CNN. I mean, that's got to feel like an accomplishment.
01:29:22.000You know, Chelsea Handler on down, and Chelsea Handler and I have the same manager.
01:29:25.000And I always wonder, and I always try to ask him, Is she a worker?
01:29:29.000Is she a hustler that's just trying to turn a buck and understands the concept, like any good carny, that controversy creates cash?
01:29:36.000Or is she really so absorbed with herself when she makes claims like, I'm going to leave the country, instead of coming back and going, guys, look, on second thought, this is the greatest country in the world.
01:29:45.000I'm not going anywhere. She comes back with the audacity to say, She can do more good here.
01:30:29.000Well, I think sometimes that's true, but I think some people want to shut off and not, like, for example, that's why we do our show.
01:30:34.000It's a late night entertainment show and we also deal with politics because sometimes people are looking for a haven.
01:30:38.000Really, our show is just a way for people to tune in at night and not be sucker punched and watch a late night show.
01:30:43.000It's not really, we don't even do politics every night.
01:30:45.000Some nights we do, some nights we don't.
01:30:47.000But a lot of people want to shut off, right?
01:30:49.000That's why late night Carson kind of existed.
01:30:51.000It was apolitical. But a lot of people now just want to shut off all the time.
01:30:55.000And so they feel as though they're doing their due diligence if they tune into CNN. And we've exposed today, this is what you see when you tune into CNN. By the way, by the way, by the way, Chael, you're way off.
01:31:04.000They're not even close to 1.7 million, CNN. It's not even close.
01:32:06.000What surprises me is how much you two used to hate each other and how civil it's been.
01:32:10.000I know! It surprised me as well, and I was letting him go first, and I thought things were going to jump off very quickly, but they did not.
01:32:17.000It turned out I caught Rampage in a good mood, so I went with it.
01:32:20.000Yeah, I think, you know, one thing that's funny about Rampage, I hate to say this, Rampage's a great fighter.
01:32:27.000So a good example, I watched him interview one time because he was failing to make weight.
01:32:30.000He said, you know, but I found out it's my thyroid, and that's what was making me sore.
01:32:33.000I'm like, dude, I have the worst thyroid problem in existence, and it doesn't just make you, like, you're not 50 pounds overweight, missing weight.
01:32:40.000Because of your thyroid. No, it's because you're eating Nutella sandwiches.
01:32:42.000So, listen, I hope, Chael, that you win this fight.
01:32:45.000Let me ask you, what's your favorite political moment of the year?
01:32:47.000No, wait, no, wait, before that, before that, sorry.
01:32:49.000It's late, Chael, it's late, Chael, and obviously my attention is all over the place.
01:32:52.000We actually, I wish you were here, we had Midget Jesus and Midget Santa wrestle in figgy pudding for the true meaning of Christmas.
01:33:07.000There were no points or advantages until I advised Jesus because he was going for the takedown.
01:33:12.000And he was a male, by the way. Santa was a female.
01:33:14.000So it was an intergender championship with midgets.
01:33:18.000She had a good sprawl, and I advised him to chain the takedowns.
01:33:21.000He was going for that low single to the high crutch, and then ended up being actually, he took a risk, and then Santa, the female, took dwarf Jesus' back, but then Jesus reversed it.
01:33:31.000So the true spirit of Christmas is still Jesus here on this show.
01:33:34.000It sounds like it was all over the place.
01:33:47.000You're good. Well, I was actually just sitting there talking with my boxing coach the other day.
01:33:51.000He actually hit me with a liver shot because I said, and I know you agree with me, Chael, Chinatown was the better film of Godfather and Chinatown.
01:33:57.000And everyone gets furious when you say you wrote that in your book, and I agreed with it, but my boxing coach is Italian, and he hit me hard.
01:34:04.000Explain your justification, and then I'll give you mine.
01:34:06.000Well, I will agree that it was better, but I have it largely because of the acting.
01:34:11.000However, those are both very good movies.
01:34:14.000Come on, Joe. You wrote about it in your book.
01:34:16.000You had more reasons than that. Can I go back to the question I was asked, my favorite political moment of 2017?
01:34:38.000It's one in the morning on the East Coast, and Podesta comes out to a crowd of people that look like the cat that just ate the canary, and he gives them a fire-up speech about, get out there and let's go win this election.
01:34:49.000It's like, hey, stupid. The election's over.
01:37:34.000So that's one thing. When Americans get a tax break, it's kind of like an entitlement program.
01:37:38.000It's pretty tough for the next guy to come back and say, we're going to increase your taxes again.
01:37:42.000So right now, it's easy for the media to carry the water because people watching CNN think, oh, this is a horrible plan.
01:37:49.000Then when they get their tax returns, 80% of Americans are going to be changing their tune.
01:37:53.000And so I think there's a delayed fuse right there.
01:37:55.000Right now, it's easy to demonize Trump, but whether you're a business owner, basically, I think if you're doing more than $40,000 a year, you're going to get a serious tax break, if I'm not mistaken.
01:38:03.000Serious. And a lot more people are getting a tax break than that.
01:41:25.000We have so many people who've joined up.
01:41:26.000Like we've said, listen, I really hope, and I'll read some of your tweets, I really hope that those who joined Mug Club feel as though it's been worth it.
01:41:34.000You know this. When we did this, we were saying, like, listen, the last thing we want to do is be the bait-and-switch people.
01:41:39.000Who give you free content and then have you join something and you're just getting the same thing that you were getting for free.
01:41:44.000We said if we're gonna do it, we're gonna build out a new studio, we're gonna go daily, we're gonna offer more free content than ever, and we're gonna start adding to it.
01:41:51.000And I'm not gonna lie to you guys, this whole team, they've really pulled together.
01:41:54.000Everyone's been stretched really thin.
01:41:56.000Myself included. And so our next step here is just to hire new people to solidify what it is we're doing and then start adding on more shows.
01:42:05.000Start adding on more actual on-air personalities.
01:42:08.000You see it with CRTV. They have Gavin McInnes, Rolling Millennial, Andrew Wilkow.
01:42:11.000But we need to hire some people behind the scenes.
01:42:13.000That's why there's the golden ticket sweepstakes.
01:42:14.000If you join, you'll be eligible at laudoworthcrowder.com slash mugclub.
01:42:20.00099 annually, 69 for students, veterans, military.
01:42:23.000If you're a student of life, you're a student...
01:43:53.000It's something liberals don't understand. You can hire more people, pay them less, or you can pay the main people more and then start adding to it with younger people who are paid less than the other people, more than 15 an hour, still paid fairly, but now we have other jobs that are more entry-level jobs as well as one high-level job we'll be talking about behind the paywall.
01:46:16.000Okay, well let's do this guest, I guess, and then we'll probably have to do the, well I guess, are we going to do the guest in the game or then two guests in a game?
01:46:23.000Probably guest in the game. Okay, guest in the game.
01:46:25.000Alright, perfect. I can do that. We have a guest in the game.
01:46:27.000Let's turn up the volume a little bit so we can see Trump in late night.
01:46:30.000Hey, there's Alec Baldwin doing the worst Trump impression ever.
01:46:33.000Let me hear it. Is it going out to people?
01:47:46.000I'm sure you know, but basically everything CNN... We already just did the breakdown with every single guest.
01:47:50.000Every single breaking news chyron has been misleading, flat out dishonest, or actually something that broke yesterday or in June or October.
01:47:59.000For example, breaking news today developing was Steve Bannon says Bush 43 was a destructive president.
01:51:03.000I was at the Hilton. In 2016, I was at the Hilton, and I was standing in the Hilton when Trump announced his presidency.
01:51:09.000He just won. It was 2.40 in the morning.
01:51:11.000I was standing right up front, and behind me there were like 500 journalists with their big With their big lights, it looks like Close Encounters of the Third Kind with their huge lights.
01:51:22.000And many of them were actually sobbing.
01:51:40.000I've told it five times, so I'll do the short version.
01:51:41.000Short version is there were four carolers who came in, only three who were willing to sing.
01:51:45.000The fourth one ran out sobbing, saying she couldn't perform for me, this monster, because she knew who I was.
01:51:50.000And she actually had to be helped up because she, like, collapsed over the mere idea of performing for notorious Nazi Stephen Crowder.
01:51:59.000So this happened with me. And it's because of CNN. When you paint your entire opposition as Hitler and as totalitarians, people believe this stuff.
01:52:08.000The Mueller stuff is, this week, to answer your question about the Mueller stuff is, in my opinion, based on the evidence I've seen, it's all just some type of fake propaganda thing and they utilize CNN. They utilize these networks to...
01:52:42.000That would be a good night for, you know, Hannity on Fox.
01:52:45.000Yeah, no, they don't have a whole lot of viewers.
01:52:47.000And that's why it's kind of, it goes from funny to scary to back to funny when you realize nobody watches them short of being in a layover in Denver on Frontier.
01:53:07.000But those media people talk to each other, and they have power over each other, and they're sort of losing their power, but they still have some power.
01:53:15.000And the Republicans are so afraid of being shamed by them.
01:53:19.000Like, they're governed by the shame and the humiliation they might face from networks.
01:53:23.000Right. You know, in like D.C. when you're surrounded by a gaggle of reporters calling you racist.
01:53:27.000So they still have some power, but not over elections and not over the American people.
01:53:32.000Yeah, well, I think they're kind of...
01:54:15.000Today is media, but for us, they're talking about late night right now.
01:54:18.000Really, we're the only late night alternative.
01:54:20.000We're not even really media. We get to be honest because we're not beholden to a 24-hour bullshit news clock.
01:54:27.000That's really what That's what it comes down to.
01:54:28.000Today, it has been an extremely painful reminder.
01:54:34.000Actually, just the pure BS that is spewed without consequence from CNN. And thank God we're a late-night comedy show, and we don't have to do this every day because I'd want to blow my brains out.
01:54:44.000As a matter of fact, I might feel that way the next time I'm at a layover in Denver.
01:54:47.000It's that bad. All right, listen, Project Veritas is where people can find you and follow you.
01:54:53.000James, thank you so much for making time, brother.
01:54:55.000We appreciate you doing this, and we won't talk to you before then, so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
01:54:59.000Merry Christmas. Shameless book plug, American Pravda, out January 16th.
01:55:03.000American Pravda out, and I believe this will be on the interwebs as well.
01:55:06.000Thank you, James O'Keefe. You must go.
01:55:08.000Okay. You guys have food, I guess, for yourselves.
01:55:12.000You've got food waiting if you want it.
01:55:13.000It can be brought in. I also have a beer for you if you'd like to have a little bit of a sip of blood and honey.
01:56:30.000Do you have a break we can go to? Okay, let's go by.
01:56:33.000We're going to go to a break really quickly.
01:56:34.000Thanks to our sponsors, Walther and SimpliSafe here for this show, and of course, Mug Club.
01:56:38.000And then after this, we're going to have Beer Pong, Pogo, Finale, Dean Cain, and then the entire series and the last segment of a YouTube carol.
01:56:47.000We will see you there. I'm going to go get some food.
01:56:49.000Where are there so many buttons? Oh, and now you're making fun of me for that earlier.
01:56:53.000What would you do if I sank out of tune?
01:56:58.000Would you stand up and walk out on me?
01:57:03.000Let me, oh, ears, and I'll sing you a song.
01:58:01.000Yes. Okay. Do you believe in the Mug Club that people can join for $99 annually or $69 annually if they're students, vets, or active military, gaining access to all of CRTV as well as Daily Crowder programming?
02:01:45.0005'5", 5'4"? Is that short or is that normal?
02:01:47.000I think it would be average, so it would be below that.
02:01:48.000By the way, we are still watching CNN. This is still their Trump and late night skit.
02:01:52.000This is going on forever. Yeah, I think they're really enjoying themselves with this.
02:01:55.000You're not missing anything whatsoever.
02:01:57.000This is actually better, in my opinion, than the news that we've been getting all day that's not news.
02:02:01.000Nothing's been breaking. Nothing's been real news.
02:02:03.000The only thing that I think that we've seen is that the Republicans actually passed something, right?
02:02:09.000The tax bill. Mm-hmm. Got that taken care of, but then they got kind of lambasted for some of the stuff that's been in it.
02:02:14.000So they're never going to get any good credit.
02:02:15.000And then it's Trump-Russia, Trump-Russia, Trump-Russia, and then Pence loves Trump.
02:02:19.000I think there's a bromance going on right there.
02:02:21.000You know what this is? This is one of the things, like you talk about Gavin, like when two people read the exact same phrase but receive it completely differently.
02:02:27.000So we're going, can you believe, like late night, every single night, he's nothing but bashing Trump.
02:02:32.000Nothing but bad on Trump. Can you believe?
02:02:35.000Late Night is bashing Trump every night.
02:03:24.000There's no judgment at all. All you Baptists can just go buy your own liquor and not say hi to each other in the liquor store.
02:03:28.000Too busy judging CNN and their pile of filth they call a day's work.
02:03:33.000I don't know how long it's going to take to get this out of my system, and I've only been here for maybe half the time or a little under that, right?
02:03:57.000I don't have any appointments to cancel.
02:03:58.000I got nothing. We got Christmas coming up.
02:04:00.000I mean, you need the break really to wash this out.
02:04:03.000You just need to go. I think I'm going to go cry in the corner of my shower and just stay in there for a little while and hope this comes off.
02:04:08.000It's a nice cold shower to wash this filth off.
02:04:42.000Steven obviously has a lot of the pressure of the show, and I get to come in and kind of just be the happy guy that has a business that comes in and talks about really fun subjects.
02:04:52.000So from somebody who kind of gets in and out of this a little bit, the biases are real.
02:04:57.000You guys are not in like a bubble going, oh my gosh, do we have perspective or do we not?
02:05:01.000I think part of that is because you force yourself to bleach your eyeballs at the end of the night because you've been looking at Slate and you've been looking at HuffPo and you've been looking at all of these really bad left sites.
02:05:12.000It shocks me when I meet people who...
02:05:15.000The thought of reading a Daily Wire piece or Fox News is just appalling to them.
02:05:21.000Not that I always agree with every right-wing piece of content out there, but the balance, like the idea of striking, trying to find balance, but they accept HuffPo as the baseline.
02:05:30.000Yeah. And they kind of adjust their scale for that, which is just crazy to me that they don't see the...
02:05:34.000It really is. And I used to tell people, I said, look, I understand that Fox is way right, and I understand that MSNBC and a few others are way left, but at least CNN seems to be more so in the middle.
02:05:45.000I used to think that way. Yeah, this was a couple of years ago, and now, honestly, I haven't watched CNN. As recently as 2015.
02:05:56.000They definitely lean left, but they weren't super, super left.
02:05:58.000And today I'm like, they're either too lazy or too stupid to figure this out.
02:06:02.000Yeah. Right? And somebody's still paying them money.
02:06:05.000And until that changes, I don't really think they're going to change their terms.
02:06:08.000I think it's a happy marriage. I guess it's a happy marriage of people who actively want to skew data, facts, and information to not get the public what they need and what they sign up for.
02:06:18.000And then they have a bunch of lazy workers who are more than compliant to half-ass the day.
02:07:44.000Like if media outlets that we're supposed to trust that say that we're balanced or that we are fair or that we're the voice of the nation or whatever it is would actually do their job and cover stories, we wouldn't have to do a 16-hour show where we sit here and go mind-numbingly crazy With all of the stuff that we're seeing, right? This is a mild news day.
02:08:02.000We're trying to pick through every single thing that we see and say, is this possibly news?
02:08:06.000Like, are they maybe trying to do their job here and just are missing the mark?
02:08:10.000It's a slow news day. I'll give CNN that.
02:08:12.000It is, yes. I'll give them that. However, it doesn't get any better.
02:08:15.000It gets much worse on a busy news day because that's when you get the most inaccurate information, the most delayed information, the most skewing of the dialogue and narration.
02:08:23.000So this is actually CNN light compared to...
02:08:27.000We're talking about the specifics of the tax plan, even though they'd be screwing it up.
02:08:31.000They could still be talking about that, and they choose not to.
02:08:33.000They choose to do other stuff. This is why when you guys were like, hey, you want to go eat and take a break?
02:08:37.000They're still doing Trump in late night?
02:08:39.000I said no, because once I left, I did not want to come back.
02:09:27.000Last year I gave... Is this going to be something like I open it up and it's like a pile of dog crap or a bunch of spiders crawl out of me?
02:11:42.000And the reason this is funny is because we were actually in Hawaii with Love You, Sir, the owner of CRTV. Of course, wonderful partners at CRTV in Hawaii at his house.
02:11:55.000And we're like, we're going to go on a kayak out to this island.
02:12:04.000It's not a joke. And here's the thing.
02:12:06.000The next morning, they came out and they said...
02:12:08.000Did you guys drink Kinky Pink and we went down the line?
02:12:11.000I was asking everybody. It was like who put the pepper in the pot, the kids book, and you found out everyone put the pepper in the pot, only the difference is the only person who drank all of it was not Gay Jared.
02:12:21.000I didn't remember. He had sucked down the bottle of Kinky Pink to this in one night.
02:12:26.000He's a Kinky fellow. I get the idea for nostalgia's sake, but can we do it with beer?
02:12:37.000Do you need this mic kind of turned toward him?
02:12:42.000I'm actually kind of bummed because I thought I was either going to get a gift that would hurt me or something that would be really cool and instead I just got something crappy.
02:12:49.000That's pretty much it. Well, we're not...
02:12:51.000I mean, I'm sure at some point you'll get something good.
02:12:52.000I don't think anyone can see me here with this lighting.
02:23:47.000Four, four! No, I'm not high-fiving you because you were rooting for me to drink kinky pink.
02:23:51.000That's funny, though. That is a tranny on that TV. That's why we're doing this because I'm tired of CNN. 14 hours, then I don't care anymore.
02:24:01.000Go ahead. It's going to be useless tonight.
02:26:47.000Sven, did you find out if that was a train, this national security analyst?
02:26:50.000I doubt it was. From what I can tell, that's a legitimate woman.
02:26:53.000That's a legitimate woman, from what he can tell.
02:26:56.000And here's the thing, I feel bad about it, but trannies have ruined it for the rest of you.
02:27:00.000They have, it's very difficult to tell.
02:27:01.000Women, progressive women, especially progressive women, you need to understand, we don't give you the benefit of the doubt anymore because we don't want a lawsuit.
02:27:06.000No, we don't. You see a woman with big hands?
02:27:09.000It used to be like, oh, that's a burly woman.
02:30:02.000It took me all the way until now to get that. It took me all the way until now.
02:30:04.000I would say the funniest thing that happened all week was we went to Chick-fil-A, me and my buddy John, and it was early in the morning, it was breakfast, and we were really tired.
02:30:12.000And we just went in. And I don't know, this probably isn't going to be funny to anybody, but she was putting the food in.
02:30:16.000She asked about, like, do you want to put the straws in the bag?
02:30:19.000I looked at her and said, put the straws in the bag!
02:30:22.000And she just looked at me and she actually stopped.
02:30:57.000I'm trying to dial him up, raise her fist, and by the way, I apologize to the National Security Analyst, who in fact was not a transgender woman, but just a woman.
02:31:32.000Okay? This woman mad at me for thinking she was a man or this tranny suing me for an act of aggression for misgendering her if that were the case.
02:32:16.000Come on, you gotta tell me I gotta play this guessing game every time you put someone in a quadrant view on CNN. There's no way I can get it right.
02:33:54.000Everyone here has a really hard job, but can you imagine having to trot your ass into work knowing this is what you're going to do that night?
02:34:00.000No. Can you imagine the pride-swallowing siege that Don Lemon lives every day before he walks into a show?
02:34:06.000And you've got to get the energy up for that.
02:35:22.000Milo's getting passed around like a pack of cigarettes in here.
02:35:25.000Strangest thing, he still has a smile on his face.
02:35:27.000Yes, yes, exactly. Yeah, you know, it's funny, I didn't get it because I think Facebook went after me so hard and YouTube that Twitter's like, alright, let's just, let's avoid this one for now.
02:36:46.000Once they literally said 9 million Tiny Tims will die because Republicans want to defund the CHIP program, which they don't.
02:36:52.000Never once today have they mentioned the Melbourne attacker was an Afghani Muslim named Saeed Naori who did it because of mistreated Muslims.
02:36:58.000They've been talking about Israel without ever once mentioning the 1995 Israel vote or the fact that Jerusalem has always been the capital of Israel and it's supposed to be recognized as its embassy.
02:37:06.000They also said that Bannon hates George Bush, claiming this was breaking news in their chyron when he said it in June.
02:38:47.000I think it's a little more like kicking the government-subsidized hover-round motor scooter beneath the 500-pound, you know, bicycle beluga.
02:39:31.000If you kick out Tiny Tim's crutch, maybe you actually just took him out of being able to get to work, in which case I'm sure he would probably be very grateful for a tax cut.
02:39:38.000You know, I don't know. I don't think the analogy works.
02:39:41.000But, you know, maybe I'm reading too much into it.
02:39:45.000Oh, I should also mention, I didn't want you to be alone in your appendix carry today, so I strapped on the Ruger sympathetically.
02:39:51.000Oh, well, you've got to get yourself a Walther.
02:39:53.000And I don't just say that because you have the LCP, is that what's going on?
02:40:10.000I'm about to have a shootout at the OK Corral.
02:40:12.000Yeah, I was going to say, you can't really appendix carry that.
02:40:15.000By the way, you know what's funny? Do you ever watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?
02:40:18.000I have not. If you watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as a child and you don't know how it ends, it is the worst motion picture experience of your life.
02:40:26.000It's bad. You're like, oh, okay, they're gearing up here at the end and they're looking and they're like, oh, this is the end?
02:40:33.000I'd rather Doc Holliday die of TB in front of me.
02:40:38.000Then there are movies like August Osage County, which could not end soon enough.
02:40:43.000I don't know why you would subject yourself to that.
02:42:39.000Razor fist. I just saw that National Security Advisor, I don't know if you were watching CNN, was sure it was a tranny.
02:42:46.000Can we acknowledge that the unsung heroes, well, the victims in all of this, women who are larger, like women who are big boned, let's admit, can we all admit that we never give them the benefit of the doubt anymore?
02:42:58.000I'm okay with affirmative action for those ones.
02:43:00.000But seriously, a long time ago, if you saw one with bigger hands, you're like, oh, that's just a bigger woman.
02:43:03.000And now right away, to avoid a lawsuit, you're like, I'm just going to go gender neutral until I figure this out.
02:43:10.000Yeah, the Seinfeld manhands episode could not be made in 2017.
02:43:17.000Because the manhands would be breaking a lobster, and then the camera pans, and there's a penis.
02:43:23.000Exactly. They get that tight end, you know, Sergei Eisenstein, Adam's apple shot.
02:43:29.000It really is. Like, honestly, it's really hard to give them the benefit of the doubt because everyone is so guarded nowadays.
02:43:36.000So the Tiny Tim Crutch is, okay, but throughout the whole year.
02:43:39.000Listen, let me ask you this. You had a big debate this year with some liberals right on YouTube, and I remember you plugging it.
02:43:46.000What was it? Yeah. Well, I actually did have fun at the debate, but it was with Secular Talk, who I didn't know from Adam, and still don't.
02:45:24.000We're like, okay, it's gotten slow, and even though they supported net neutrality, now they're slowing down old phones, and no one even calls them on it, just like Facebook and Google and YouTube.
02:45:34.000And then it's just like, they're like, you bitch, you'll never find anyone better.
02:45:37.000You already paid for all these iTunes and these apps, and you're like, ugh.
02:49:38.000So I put on the socialism for fake shirt.
02:49:39.000Of course he gets boarding off the plane first because it's economy plus plus plus and we get off and everyone's going one direction and we're in Burlington and he goes down this hallway.
02:49:50.000And I swear to you, it was like, it might as well have been a painting called Lonely Sad Man.
02:49:55.000Because he's walking with his Rain Man jacket and no briefcase.
02:50:00.000And like just barely hobbling down this hallway.
02:50:03.000It must have taken him 15 minutes to walk down the hallway.
02:50:05.000I just looked at him and I looked at my wife.
02:51:10.000Oh, crap. Yeah, yeah, splintered doing Tai Chi in the cage.
02:51:13.000He didn't ruin it? No, everyone watched that documentary, Being Elmo or Becoming Elmo, and then it turned out that he was actually, like, he was really just a sick, sick, twisted person.
02:51:22.000So you watch it, and you're like, oh, my gosh, look at him.
02:51:24.000He just wants to be a kid. And you're like, no, he just wants to be in kids.
02:51:27.000And then you realize that he's really sick and twisted, and it ruined everything.
02:52:31.000The only real newsworthy thing, I don't know, to you, to me the most newsworthy thing all day, of course, was the Muslim, the Afghani Muslim, who ran a van into Christmas shoppers and said he did it because of the mistreatment of Muslims.
02:52:42.000It feels like yesterday we've heard about that now.
02:52:44.000At least we all have to wait until Antifa derails the Polar Express.
02:52:49.000Really? Yeah, Tom Hanks will be singing his hot chocolate, and then he just gets stabbed with an ice pick.
02:55:43.000Do you also think that... At a bare minimum, he killed innocent civilians when he shot tomahawk missiles at Afghanistan and wound up killing houses full of innocent people.
02:55:53.000Yeah, but that's different. We're talking about political gain here on U.S. soil.
02:55:59.000They played a part. They made the call.
02:56:01.000Something like that, yes. And do you also believe that George W. Bush was next to Tower 7 with an Acme plunger and a ram's head?
02:56:08.000Probably not. All right, at Sven Computer, do you think, if you have to bet your life on it, okay, so you just have to bet your life, yes or no, The Clintons.
02:56:16.000Bill and Hillary Clinton. Have they knowingly played a role or knew about the murder of someone?
02:56:22.000Do you think so? Did they know about a murder?
02:56:25.000Know about it? Okay, but you don't think they played a role in it?
02:56:27.000No, I go full cuck computer and say, no, they didn't kill anyone.
02:58:55.000Well, not a technique, but it's sort of, I guess you would say, an approach that they're taught from their think tanks, from their consulting firms.
02:59:04.000Most of these people, they don't make their living off of cable news.
02:59:06.000It pays pathetically. So they work for think tanks.
02:59:08.000They're consultants for political insiders to some degree.
02:59:11.000And they also make some cash on the side.
02:59:13.000Did Johnny Mathis? Oh my gosh, he has not aged well.
02:59:15.000So what happens is they're taught to take up as much time as possible.
02:59:20.000Because if you're in a quadrant or you're in a split three screen, right?
02:59:24.000You're going, okay, there's only so much time.
03:00:25.000We've had a lot of sign-ups here today, and so we're going to read some aloud right now to the newest monthclub members.
03:00:30.000By the way, we will figure out by next week, because renewals start in January, a lot of people have been saying, what if I renew for three years?
03:03:30.000We have a final segment for a YouTube carol.
03:03:32.000Right. The final segment of YouTube Carol, and people are wanting to know, okay, listen, do you want us to run segment one through four and five as one continuous film, or just segment five?
03:03:44.000Most people were telling me they just wanted to watch segment five because they've been watching all day.
03:03:47.000Okay, so maybe we play segment five and then give people the opportunity.
03:03:50.000Will you be able to upload it for them to watch?
03:03:52.000Well, yeah, we're going to upload it for them to watch separately on YouTube Carol.
03:03:54.000I think people can do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:05:02.000It's a tweet from John O'Brennan on Donald Trump's reaction to the U.N.'s reaction to Donald Trump recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
03:05:44.000Yeah. Well, here's the deal. Is Donald Trump the kind of guy who I'd expect to be like, listen, you better be loyal to me in everything or else I'm going to screw you against the wall?
03:10:18.000There you go. Oh jeez, I guess we have another guest.
03:10:20.000We got a guest coming on. Privatize the economy?
03:10:22.000Oh, that's no problem at all. I mean, think about it.
03:10:24.000They didn't start to really turn on him any until Hillary started to separate herself from him in the race.
03:10:30.000Right. That's when they started to go with Hillary, but not against Obama on their own, but because Hillary was kind of trying to separate herself.
03:10:37.000Well, this is what we said on air early on today.
03:10:40.000It's not about the standards that are applied.
03:10:42.000Yeah. It's about whether they are applied equally.
03:10:45.000And are they applying the same filter to this administration, to the Bush administration, as they did to Barack Obama?
03:10:50.000And that's where you know if their interest lies in either, if they have a vested interest in getting someone elected, keeping them in office, or if they have a vested interest in the truth.
03:10:59.000Right. It's about how they apply their criticism.
03:11:15.000Correct. I would bet you that you couldn't find one single day ever in the history of CNN throughout the eight years of the Obama presidency that was this critical and negative.
03:11:36.000I mean, think about it. He could have done just about anything.
03:11:38.000He would have walked out, pissed on the lawn, waved to the camera, and would have said, wow, can you look at the fire hose on that president?
03:13:35.000All right, listen, I hate to do this, but I'm going to have to give you the hit list of CNN for the day, okay?
03:13:42.000Okay, I'm going to try and rapid fire this.
03:13:44.000So just to kind of, the whole purpose of this was to see how biased CNN is, and you can only know by watching an entire day of the original programming.
03:13:49.000By the way, they're lazy. It's only 16 hours.
03:13:51.000They don't do 24 hours of programming.
03:14:53.000When we realized that Republicans actually said, listen, we don't want to shut the government down.
03:14:56.000Let's sign this bill here so that we can kick it to January 19th.
03:15:00.000They were saying Tiny Tim was going to die.
03:15:01.000Then they realized it wasn't. They just said, ah, 45 seconds of the voted.
03:15:05.000House decided to kick this down the road.
03:15:07.000No recognition that Republicans put it forward.
03:15:09.000Finally, apparently it's a problem that Mike Pence, the vice president, is supporting the president.
03:15:14.000That was breaking news for about four hours.
03:15:15.000There you go. That's the entire CNN news cycle for today, Nick.
03:15:21.000Any thoughts? Well, the last thing I heard of CNN is you guys had some kind of pipe bomb incident in New York, and the only thing CNN wanted to cover during the whole escapade was the allegation that Trump drinks 12 drinks every day or something like that.
03:15:36.000Diet Coke, yeah. Yeah, and you're thinking like, why is there attention on this guy?
03:15:40.000Like, if you don't like somebody, you probably shouldn't make every move of theirs, you know, a breaking news headline.
03:15:48.000Let me ask you this. Melbourne, obviously, that's in your home country here.
03:15:50.000How much do you know about this attack now?
03:15:52.000Do people in Australia know that it was Sidney Ori and that he said, you know, listen, this is because of mistreatment of Muslims?
03:15:59.000Is that kind of common knowledge there?
03:16:01.000No, it's news to me at the moment, Steve.
03:16:44.000I don't know if such a thing would be allowed to happen in the US. What do you think about that?
03:16:49.000What did he speak to Parliament about?
03:16:51.000Oh, jeez, everything. Just warning everyone about the bias of the left-wing journalists.
03:16:57.000Double-check everything. Think for yourself.
03:16:59.000Don't just buy into the narratives on the TV. I was really impressed that we even allowed him to speak.
03:17:07.000I'm blown away. Honestly, I'm surprised they allowed that, too.
03:17:10.000Listen, if they allow anyone to speak and actually kind of coach them from the private sector, from outside their government bubble, I'm happy about it.
03:17:18.000No, I don't think that would be allowed here in the United States.
03:17:21.000You'd probably be allowed to be a lobbyist and go have coffee with them or something like that.
03:17:24.000I'm not entirely sure. Let me ask you this, Nick.
03:17:27.000So you're a creative type, but what is your favorite political slash cultural moment of 2017?
03:17:32.000We've been asking everyone, if you have to pick a moment from 2017, what would you say is your highlight, kind of as far as news or culture, anything like that?
03:17:41.000It would have to be the left's protesting of Donald Trump's election by encouraging everyone across the nation to scream into the sky for half an hour.
03:19:26.000I'm going to track her down. But what's funny is because you mentioned the Change My Mind, so our producer said, hey, listen, how much do you know about the show?
03:20:13.000And I said, you know, listen, I'm open to having my mind changed.
03:20:16.000And I realized... I can't have my mind changed by Sally Cohn or Christopher Titus or the liberals who come on the show from TechCrunch who are coming on with their sword ready for a tax.
03:20:26.000I said, but you know what? Let's just go to a college or let's go somewhere where some people who are moderately educated...
03:20:30.000Maybe go to Planned Parenthood with I Am Pro-Life.
03:20:32.000Change my mind. Yeah, go to Planned Parenthood.
03:20:34.000They kicked us out. So that was just like, let's go to someone who's moderately educated.
03:20:39.000And I said, and I'm going to bite my tongue, use the Socratic method, and just see if people can rationalize their position.
03:20:53.000Blown away that it's been as successful as it is because it's the opposite of this.
03:20:57.000They have, you know, nine minutes to do a segment and then six minutes of commercials and they all have to hit their talking points and try and block time for the other guy.
03:21:04.000And we just said let's do the opposite.
03:21:06.000That was the inspiration. Yeah, and people have been pretty civil.
03:21:09.000Well, for the most part, pretty civil, wouldn't you say?
03:21:12.000Well, we have one coming up that's pro-life later where a girl tried to steal my microphone and then told me that I had no right to take it back.
03:21:18.000And I was like, but that's my microphone.
03:21:52.000And you just realize that's a generation of people who've been told, like, well, if you want the microphone, it's now your microphone.
03:21:56.000And you realize it's a generation of people who, the crazy liberal ones, it's like a dog on a choker chain that you've been just pulling on the tension and just the media stirring the pot for months and months.
03:22:06.000As soon as they had the opportunity, Stephen Crowder and Jared, they just, you get a couple of them that are nasty and you can tell they've just been waiting for that moment.
03:22:13.000Right. To bite you. Yeah, the people who weren't beaten enough as children.
03:22:19.000I will say what gave me hope is there was a girl when we were at SMU in an Obama shirt.
03:22:23.000She had an Obama 08 shirt, and when this other girl who took the microphone started doing her freak-out deal, this girl in the Obama 08 shirt, black girl, actually, I saw her do this out of the corner of my eye, like, oh, these are our representatives on campus.
03:22:39.000So even there, I think it's just they scream the loudest, but I don't think most people agree with them anymore.
03:22:48.000It's a small bubble, but CNN is that bubble.
03:22:51.000It's amplified because all of CNN is that bubble.
03:22:54.000All of the entertainment industry is that bubble.
03:22:56.000But in real life, it's this tiny bubble you have to search for.
03:22:59.000But if you flip on the TV, whether it's entertainment or media, it's everything.
03:23:04.000And that's where I think the disconnect is.
03:23:06.000That's why most people think America is this crazy leftist place, but it's not when they visit.
03:23:11.000You know, it's not what you see on TV. And if any of these news entities or entertainment outlets aren't vitriolic enough on their own, it's kind of like the concoction, the magic potion that comes together to create these social stories who freak out about everything, you know, crying Trump girl and stuff.
03:23:23.000Yeah. You know, combine all these things together, you know, the powers unite.
03:23:27.000Then you've got some really weird shit.
03:23:31.000Oh, go ahead. Sorry, you were going to ask me something.
03:23:33.000I was just going to ask you, do you think Twitter and Facebook is helping to change the direction of that pendulum?
03:23:38.000Do you think more and more people are starting to question the media, or do you think it's very much the way it's always been?
03:23:43.000No, here's the thing. Most people don't watch CNN. Unfortunately, and this was the thing with net neutrality that I just found so funny, all of these YouTubers fell in line and said, we need net neutrality.
03:25:42.000Some people call it tall puppy syndrome, which is this phenomenon in which, like, Achievement is not really a welcome for celebration.
03:25:51.000It's actually kind of treated with almost complete indifference.
03:25:55.000But the other side of that coin is everyone gets the same treatment.
03:25:59.000So I know Milo did an appearance on some morning TV show here, and he absolutely annihilated this feminist who was on there, this half-balled feminist he called, and just destroyed it.
03:26:09.000And I think a lot of Australians kind of agree that it's getting out of hand.
03:26:13.000People are being spoon-fed and distracted instead of thinking for themselves.
03:26:18.000I mean, look, we have the attack today in Melbourne, and I mean, do you get down to van control?
03:26:24.000You guys have had the mandatory gun buyback.
03:26:26.000You know, what do you do? People have access to cars.
03:26:28.000People can hurt. And we've been told, the reason I say this is because in the United States, Australia has been used as the example for gun control.
03:26:58.000Right. Absolutely. You can't nerf the whole world.
03:27:01.000And, you know, I wonder if people are coming to that realization, and we're seeing that with the UK and Australia.
03:27:06.000I hate that you guys have to be a cautionary tale, but I will say, to the United States, you're kind of becoming that just because the left has pointed to you guys for so long, saying, look, it works perfectly here.
03:27:16.000And now people are saying, maybe not. Yeah, look, it's kind of a welfare country.
03:27:23.000You guys have Uber over there, and we have Uber over here too, and we're starting to place all sorts of taxes on the Uber fares, and actually on the side of the passenger now as well, because they feel that all the income is being taken out of the country, it's an offshore organization, we're losing that cash, we need to tax this, we need to tax that.
03:27:43.000And so now the little guy's paying the price, as usual.
03:27:47.000Right, exactly. Well, that happened in Montreal.
03:27:48.000They allowed Uber. What was it that the Uber driver was telling us?
03:27:51.000They allowed Uber, then they started taxing them out of existence, and then they said, okay, we will allow you, but it became so expensive that it almost became unusable.
03:27:59.000Yeah. And think about it. That's one thing.
03:28:00.000Is there anything more ironic to you than socialists being against what they have coined the sharing economy?
03:28:54.000Well, I'm busy trying to carve some space in the schedule at the moment to do something for you guys, because especially with your whole Change My Mind series, you guys are really onto something with that, and that's inspiring me.
03:29:04.000But at the moment, I'm trying to get my next album out for the new year.
03:29:07.000I'm getting artwork made at the moment with one of my really good friends.
03:29:11.000There'll be a lot of SoundCloud releases in there, but a lot of new stuff as well.
03:29:14.000So hopefully in the next couple of weeks.
